Brad Pitt talked with Charlie Rose this week about his "Make It Right Project" which is working to help the people of New Orleans whose lives were devastated by Hurricane Katrina.
"I wish this had been taken care of on a federal level, a state level, even a state level," Brad told Charlie. "But if this [is] the case where we go do it at the federal level, so be it."
Of the nation's leaders and their handling of Katrina and its continued aftermath, Brad said: "They've certainly taken their eye off the ball...There's a portion of our society [poor and minority] that is being undervalued."

Here is a clip of their conversation:

Charlie, who is kind of annoying in this second clip as he talks over Brad too much, asks about the four Pitt-Angelina Jolie children, three of whom they adopted. Brad said he and Angelina cannot adopt jointly because they are not married, a policy which he said is in part "a firewall against homosexuals which, you know, I don't agree with."
