You have had an incredibly 44 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: long career, an incredibly successful career, and so I think 45 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: sometimes when someone has been out in the public so 46 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: so long, they kind of forget you. Who is John Voyett? Like, 47 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: what was your what was your childhood like? Growing up? 48 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about your upbringing. I will. 49 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, you know, life is very short. 50 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: People say that all the time to the little kids, 51 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: and then little kids are thinking, oh my god, it's 52 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: going to be so long before I get to be 53 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: eighteen or so. It wants so much to advance and 54 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: grow in all of that, and life is very short, 55 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: and a career is very short. And at one point 56 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: somebody asked me, some young lady asked me who was 57 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: Carrie Grant? And I couldn't believe that I was listening 58 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: to this, because in my lifetime he was, you know, 59 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: such a splendid part of our lives, watching his great movies. 60 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: And I couldn't believe that the kids didn't know him, 61 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: you know. And I'm like that now I'm getting older, 62 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: and so the new ones are coming forth and and uh, 63 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: it's it's just interesting to look back on different things. Anyway, 64 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: I I've forgotten the question, what was your childhood like? 65 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: Growing up? You know what, what were your parents like? Yeah? 66 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: So what my child I grew up in Yonkers Younger's, 67 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: New York, and I had two brothers. We were we 68 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: were threesome. We were only a year apart, and I 69 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: was in the middle. And uh, from the earliest time 70 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: we you know, we were all a rambunctious, very give 71 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: three kids and my and each one of us went 72 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: our different ways. My my younger brother became enamored of 73 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: music and uh and went on to be a singer songwriter, 74 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: and he wrote A Wild Thing, an Angel of the Morning, 75 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: and many many great hits. And he's still writing today 76 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: and he's a wonderful and he's in the you know, uh, 77 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 1: Songwriters Hall of Fame and and stuff. And my older brother, 78 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: Barry was always when he was a young fellow, was 79 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: out with his uncle who would come back from the service. 80 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 1: This was in the forties, and he would go on 81 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: camping trips and stuff. And he was very interested in 82 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: nature and he would take photographsive of the natural world 83 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: and different animals and stuff, and and he became a 84 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: geologist and a a well known volcanologist of volcano expert, 85 00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: and he's he's been faded in put into entered a 86 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: major society in the scientific society, very elite society and 87 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: all of that. You know. So the kid we each 88 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: of us in our childhood gave evidence of what we 89 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: wanted to be, and we were given encouragement as kids 90 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: to follow, you know, whatever wherever our loves took us. 91 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: And I as a kid was very playful. I was 92 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: kind of the glue in the family in a certain 93 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: sense for the children because I I kind of negotiated 94 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: between my two brothers, who both are fierce energies and 95 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: uh and we had a lot of fun. And I 96 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: was playful, and I would make up games to play 97 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 1: and I would When television came along in the fifties, 98 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: I started watching uh uh Saturday night show hour and 99 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: a half show called The Show of Show was your 100 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: Show of Shows? And it started Sid Caesar and Imagene 101 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:09,119 Speaker 1: Coca and Carl Reiner and Howard Marks, those four and 102 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: it was written. This show was very popular at that time, 103 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: and it was written by mel Brooks Woody Allen Neil Simon, 104 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: all of the great comedy writers. Uh, we're part of 105 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: that show. And so I had a very I didn't 106 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: know it at the time, but I was being influenced 107 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: by really brilliant people in the entertainment world. And I 108 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: used to imitate this fellow, said Caesar a lot from 109 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: for the entertainment of my classmates. And and and that 110 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: became as I looked back, I said, wait a minute, 111 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 1: I think I probably got more out of that. And 112 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: I did you know, on the other years, I've certainly 113 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: learned from many, many people on the way up. And 114 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: but but that initial signature was stay with me. So 115 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: because he was a character comedy actor, right, and I would, 116 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: and I became a character actor. I was interested in 117 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: different kinds of characters and different accents and different behaviors, 118 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: and that examination into those those areas of acting as 119 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: to oppose to leading the leading man kind of actor 120 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: who I have great appreciation for, guys who are pretty 121 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: much the same in every film, and I just know 122 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: how to how to do that kind of work and 123 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: are very charismatic. And I just I went off into 124 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: this other world of character acting and was influenced by 125 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: many people growing into it, you know, and working with 126 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: great people with Dustin Houton and this, you know. And 127 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: so how did you get into it, because you know, 128 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: acting in Hollywood's obviously an incredibly hard career to sort 129 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: of get your foot in the door. How did you 130 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: do it? Well, it was a long process for me. 131 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: No one in my family had any connection to to 132 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: you know, zoo acting or you know, entertainment. My band 133 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: was a golf professional, and he was and I have 134 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: to say, just take a word about my father was 135 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: a He was he loved golf. He was a great 136 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: golf professional. And he had a terrible accident when he's 137 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: eighteen years old. Uh, and he wasn't able to pursue 138 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: it created spin the accident that was happening coming from 139 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: a golf tournament in Chicago, and and the result of 140 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: the injury that he had created calcium depotits and a 141 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: spy and he wasn't able to be flexible, and he 142 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: wasn't able to play play golf on the tour. So 143 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: he lost the great love of his life. Really, but 144 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: he became a great teacher of golf and he and 145 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: we as his children, gained a father at home. He 146 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: wasn't away in the golf tournaments. And with the lures 147 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: of all of that, he was a great father, and 148 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: he was a great storyteller. And I don't know to 149 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: this day how he became so such a good storyteller 150 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 1: because he came from immigrant parents. His grand his father 151 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: couldn't speak very good English, never did pick up a 152 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: language too well, but was really really charming and funny, 153 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: a good fellow. But my dad, Uh, with the help 154 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: I think of the members of the club. It was 155 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: a German Jewish country club that people couldn't get into 156 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: other country clubs because they were Jewish, so they built 157 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: their own club and my dad was the beneficiary of 158 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: that and our family and h and I think he 159 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: probably learned storytelling from those members as he was caddying 160 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: when he was a very young boy, and the stories 161 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: he told us at bedtime for several years in our 162 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: growing up were very key to UH, to us growing 163 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: properly and to enjoyment of things and insights into things, 164 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: because he would always put little messages into the stories 165 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: and stuff. And whenever you get into that phase of it, 166 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: he's he gave well, you know, boys, you've got to 167 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: you know, know that you won't be able to run 168 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: as fast always, and you will be able to and 169 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: and and so you have to we'd say, tell the story, 170 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: to get back to the story, get back to the story. 171 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 1: We were very impatient. We didn't why did they tell us? 172 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 1: But the messages head home, I think. And uh. And 173 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: because of that, man, you know, a lot, a lot 174 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: I have to give my my father and mother great 175 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: credit for for whatever good I have in my personality today. 176 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: But anyway, so we we grew up in in that 177 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: in that kind of an atmosphere when I was young, 178 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: and I got caught, as I say, with this imitating 179 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,080 Speaker 1: and being playful and all of that stuff, and I 180 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: thought I would go into it. I never you know, 181 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 1: it was a very interesting journey that I took. But 182 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: at the end of my college career, my my junior 183 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: year of college, right before I went into my senior college. Uh. 184 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: And I was at College of Catholic University in Washington, 185 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: d C. Which had a very good drama department, but 186 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: I was in the art department because I thought I 187 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: could get more more attention to other things. I was 188 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: very active in the in the let's say, the politics, 189 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: but also just a social life of the university. And 190 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: that was very good training for me. I must say 191 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: I enjoyed that and I grew from it. But I 192 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: kept asking people what I should do? What do you 193 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: think I should do? You know, who should I be? 194 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: A lawyer? Should I? And I thought about, you know, 195 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: maybe a politician may be a teacher. Teacher, I'd be 196 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 1: a good teacher, and things like that, And and then 197 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 1: I was walking around campus with a book and I 198 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 1: looked at at one point I saw this book, and 199 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,599 Speaker 1: I said, what am I doing in this book? And 200 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: of course I knew when I was in the book. 201 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: But it was a book of criticisms of stage work 202 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: in the Golden Age of the British theater, with Laurence 203 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: Olivier and Ralph Richardson and John Gielden, those saws. And 204 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: it was by Kenneth Tynan, the leading critic at that time, 205 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: and he was very gave very elaborate descriptions of the 206 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: different performances in their effects. And I underlined and made 207 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: notes on all of Laurence Olivier's performances. The rest of 208 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,599 Speaker 1: it I wasn't so interested in, but in his performances 209 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: I saw something about how he approached the character that 210 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: he was playing, and how he his choices in building 211 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: a character made a difference in the impact of the 212 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 1: of the play. I somehow understood that maybe I got 213 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: it from my you know, my father and the way 214 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: he told stories, because because I ingested all of that understanding, 215 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: and and then maybe just there was a talent there 216 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: for me. I saw something. I saw how you affect 217 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: a story. So you so you grabbed the attention of 218 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: the people, and you moved them to this kind of thing, 219 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: and and and once and I looked at that and 220 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: I said, actually, I think I even verbally said as 221 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: out loud. It was a load on campus looking at 222 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: this book. And I said, I know what I want 223 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: to do. I want to be him. I pointed to, 224 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: you know, something of Olivier's you know, so that's and 225 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: once I that moment, that epiphany that happened right there, 226 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: that was it. I knew I was going to graduate 227 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: after this senior year, and I was going to go 228 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: on to New York and I was going to study. 229 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: And I knew in my mind at that time these 230 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: are the things that I remember very visit, you know, 231 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 1: I said, I and I know I'm not going to 232 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: give up. I'm going to do it. I'm gonna be 233 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: a success. In other words, I knew it was going 234 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: to be challenging. I know what he's going to go 235 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 1: up to death, but I knew I would. I know 236 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: it's stick with it. I knew would be okay. But 237 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: nobody else if certainly your parents don't when you're going 238 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: going towards such a shaky career, you know, you you 239 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: don't know if your child is going to be able 240 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: to make a living. Sur just one moment, we have 241 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: to take a quick break and then we'll get right 242 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: back to it. You know, you hear about the Hollywood industry. 243 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 1: I mean you're out at castings and it's really it's 244 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: hard to get in the door, and you read stories 245 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: about people getting your story. But that's exactly well, I 246 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: have family, I have family, I have family in the industry, 247 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: but I've also you know, you like you read about 248 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: different people's stories, like Sylvester Stallone stories always stood out 249 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: to me as well, and sort of his hustle and 250 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: getting you know, Rocky started. But how did you persevere? 251 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: Like what what what was that just trying to get 252 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: your foot your feet in the door. What was that 253 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: like for you of just trying to get that that 254 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: first gig, that that that first opportunity, that first ability 255 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: to show what you had to offer. What was that 256 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: like for you? Well, you don't you when you start out, 257 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: you certainly don't have a lot of experience to tell 258 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: you who you are and what you do to see, 259 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: so you have to gain some experience, and you have 260 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: to And I looked for a teacher right away in 261 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: New York, got a little apartment in New York with 262 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: two other guys. Thankfully they went almost never there, so 263 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: I had the place to myself. It was a little 264 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: bear apartment and there was a great Greek restaurant cafeteria downstairs, 265 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: which was very reasonable and kept me alive. And uh, 266 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: but I tried to go to I went to classes, 267 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: I talked to actors, I took a try out for everything. 268 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: All of that stuff, right, didn't have much success in 269 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: the beginning and long periods of drought, And if I 270 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: finally got I got into an acting coach and he 271 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: wasn't good. I turned out to be very bad. I 272 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: wasn't I wasn't learning anything. I was actually going backward. 273 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: And then finally I got a teacher who was one 274 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: of the one of the great teachers at that time, 275 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: Sanford Meisner. Sanford Meisner and Stella Adler and Lee Strasburg 276 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: were the three great teachers at that time that that 277 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: you were fortunate enough to you were fortunate if you 278 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: had any contact with And so I learned a basic, 279 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: kind of basic for the for the craft. And of 280 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: course I had I had something in me that was 281 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: an I knew about entertainment. I could entertain people. I 282 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: did have abilities that I knew, but how they applied 283 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: in the real world I didn't know. So so I 284 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: worked very hard. And then when I got through that, 285 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: and I had a little jobs too. Always I got 286 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 1: a little job, and I got a little job on 287 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: Broadway actually with the very early on playing the Telegraph 288 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: Boy and sound of Music, Ralph the fellow who turns 289 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: the family in, and and the and anyway. So I 290 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: had some success. I knew that I knew I had something, 291 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: and that kept me going. Uh. And then finally, after 292 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 1: I finished a couple of years with Mr. Meisner, I 293 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: was looking to get a job that would show off 294 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: these talents that I had, and I finally got a 295 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: view from the bridge which is an Arthur Miller play. 296 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: It was the first production of the long the long 297 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: version of that play. And it's a very great play, 298 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,719 Speaker 1: I have to say. And and I was and I 299 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: got that role, and I worked with Robert Daval Bobby Duval, 300 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: and it just happened that Bobby Duvall was good friends 301 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 1: with Dustin Hoffman and was asked and Dusty was also 302 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: connected to this director role of gross part and he 303 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 1: showed up to help out with with the directing of 304 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: the piece. So I met Dustin Hoffman, you know, in 305 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: that in that time, and he saw me do some 306 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: very good work. That was the first time that I 307 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: realized that I had achieved something in the class work 308 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 1: and that I had found some ground, you know. And 309 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: it was like it was like a base to fly 310 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: from in a way. I experienced a lot of a 311 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: lot of things in that particular time period where I 312 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: learned about myself. I was very entertaining in the character 313 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 1: I think I was, and I was very moving and 314 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: powerful as well. So it was a great role and 315 00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: the role that was fit to me, and I made 316 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: a mark and therefore I had, you know, a step up. 317 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: Now people were going to be looking at me, and 318 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: that's what happened. And you've been in a ton of 319 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,360 Speaker 1: successful films, you know, starting with you know, Midnight Cowboy. 320 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: That was a big break for you too, even more 321 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: recently winning a Golden Globe for the television series Raid Donovan, 322 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: Why do you think you've been able to have such 323 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,719 Speaker 1: a long and sustained career when so many haven't been 324 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: able to do that? First of all, a good fortune, 325 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: I think, you know, I was lucky. But also there's 326 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: a little bit of a mystery to me, and it's 327 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: a spiritual aspect. Uh the I was in bad behavior. 328 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: As I look back, and things happened to me where 329 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: I changed my perspective on things and I was lifted 330 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 1: from that. I was able to get it, get away 331 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: from that, and I became very connected. Although I grew 332 00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: up a Catholic, and when I hit New York kind 333 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: of lost that, you know, I kind of left that 334 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: behind and got in trouble with it, you know, got 335 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: away from this understanding of God and and the and 336 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: the rules of life and stuff, and even the examples 337 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 1: of my parents, who were admirable people. I lost my 338 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: way a little bit, and then I came back around 339 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: and Because of that, I turned into and you know, 340 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: a person who was devoted to God and did a 341 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: lot of meditation and I was able to change and 342 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: in that change many things happened that it was quite 343 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: I have some stories to tell about the mysteries of that, 344 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: But I would I would say that's the mark that 345 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 1: kept me going, uh, you know, giving me a lift 346 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: when I was very down. I said prayers, and the 347 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: prayers were answered and then ways. So so I'd say, 348 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: there's a spiritual aspect and you talk about God a lot. 349 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: And you know, right now in the country, we're saying 350 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: at the klient in religious affiliation over the past few years. 351 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: Do you think that's why we're having so many problems 352 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: as a country right now. Well, I would say yes, 353 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: I would say yes. I would say we've lost our moorings. 354 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: You know, the stuff that they're feeding our children right 355 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: now is very disturbing. Uh. You know, there used to 356 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: be Remember there's a book everything that you need to 357 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: know you were learned in kindergarten, you know, and that 358 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: was a good book because it showed you how much 359 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 1: morality and and real basics for life we're taught in kindergarten. 360 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: Taking responsibility for yourself and all sorts of things. And 361 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: we've gotten and now the children are being given poison, 362 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: uh from all of these woke teachings have to say. 363 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: And we've let our guard slip and we have to 364 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: recapture that ground otherwise we're we're doomed society and uh. 365 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: And I feel that we're starting to understand that too. 366 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: And that's why I you know, the last video that 367 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 1: I that I released was very strong, and I have 368 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: helped to get these videos done, you know, to do 369 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: these videos. But I perhaps i'd read it to you 370 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: and we can talk about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, if 371 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: you you know what what concerns you right now the most? 372 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: In taking a look at the country? You know you're 373 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: you're talking about. I watched the videos that you do. 374 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: I know that you you tweet them out as well, sir, 375 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: and you're a very vocal conservative. What taking a look 376 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: at where we are right now is a nation? What 377 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: concerns you the most? What concerns me the most is 378 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: that we've we've lost our moorings and and we're being 379 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: overtaken by really it's it's a it's an evil that 380 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: is trying to overtake this country and all the greatness 381 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: of this country. Why is it that people want to 382 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: come to this country? Why is it that people are 383 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: breaking down, you know, our borders to get to us, 384 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 1: And and why is it that the people who are 385 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: most concerned about us are people from who have lived 386 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:43,719 Speaker 1: under this this tyranny of of socialism, of communism, you know, 387 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: across the world, people from Poland, people from Russia, people 388 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: from Cuba. We're turning into a venezuela. And they see it. 389 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 1: They can see it clearly because it happened to them. 390 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: They went through all of this, this horror and said 391 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: no and lost their countries. And they see the same 392 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: thing happened to the United States, and this was the 393 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: place that they came to because they needed to say 394 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: to get to a safe shore, they needed to get 395 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: to freedom, they needed to get the opportunity. And and 396 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 1: now they see that this country, too, is is falling 397 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: under under this evil influence. And and so that's that's 398 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: my concern at this time. I think we all have 399 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 1: to be very, very concerned. And and therefore I I 400 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,360 Speaker 1: do everything I can because I've gone through a lot 401 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 1: of this myself from the sixties, and I see how 402 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: it's happened, and I know that the people must be 403 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: courageous and learned and fight this battle for our future generations. 404 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: We have to start. We have to stand up here. 405 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: This is it at such an interesting point. Mr Boye, 406 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: hold that thought right there. We have to take a break. 407 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: I just I have a fundamental respect for people that 408 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 1: go their own way. You know, it's it's so easy 409 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: to follow the crowd. It's so easy to follow a group. 410 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 1: It's much harder to stand alone and your convictions and 411 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: in your strength and what you believe, and that is 412 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: what you do. You're exceptionally brave, particularly in an industry 413 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: that doesn't really care for, you know, different diversity and ideology. 414 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: How how has it been like for you as a 415 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: conservative in an industry that typically seems to all be 416 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: on one side of the aisle? Has that been hard? 417 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 1: It's going to be difficult. It's costing new work, of course, 418 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: because people will are afraid to um. It's the people 419 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: who would would have common sense are afraid to be 420 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 1: exposed for having common sense. Can you imagine what's going on? Yeah, 421 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: it's really nuts. So I'm kind of a I'm a 422 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:13,640 Speaker 1: person that everyone Thank God that I've had some success 423 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: in my life so that I can people know that 424 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: when they hire me, I'm going to give a good 425 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: representation of the work and and maybe make their peace 426 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: more successful and uh all of that. But people are 427 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: are afraid to be exposed at this time for questioning this. This. 428 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: I think this this this bad behavior that's going on 429 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 1: all over the place. But uh, it's it's interesting. It's 430 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: a battle, it's a bottle and and and it's in 431 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: this industry. You see. Initially the KGB targeted the United 432 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 1: States and and crusechev said, you know, we won't will 433 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 1: overcome you, but we won't do it with guns. You know, 434 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: we'll just you'll vote vote us into office. That's what 435 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: he said, you know. Uh, And that's pretty much what's happened. 436 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: I mean, they know what they're doing. They targeted They 437 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 1: targeted the film industry because of its influence. They targeted schools. 438 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: Uh and because we're in a country of freedom, freedom 439 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: of speech, they used it for there as a tool 440 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,360 Speaker 1: for themselves. They took advantage of it, and we were 441 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: we didn't see it coming. So there's an awful lot 442 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: to be said about this, of course, and they're better 443 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: they're smarter people than I do. Well, and I work 444 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: in the media, sir, and you know, I see you. Unfortunately, 445 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,360 Speaker 1: I work for a network that really tries to get 446 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: both sides of the aisle when you look at other 447 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: networks that do not, like see Ann and MSNBC. But 448 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: I see how you know, a lot of the mainstream 449 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: media really pushes the left Propageau. What role do you 450 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: think Hollywood plays and that as well? Well, I think 451 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: it's a very big surprise that the media can be 452 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 1: so so captured, so overtaken. How could this be? Don't 453 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: journalists have any sense of pride even you know, don't they? 454 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 1: But you know they're they're they're low in the totem poles. 455 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,199 Speaker 1: So they keep the mouth shut and they just do 456 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: their jobs. You see, they repeat the party line. This 457 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 1: is just like rush. I mean, this is just like PROVDA. 458 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: There's no difference. You read the New York Times, You're 459 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:42,479 Speaker 1: getting funny stuff. So so what what is it? What 460 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: does the guy do? He wants to feed his family 461 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: and he needs to keep his job. It's those pressures 462 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: that they keep it going. I think, So who's going 463 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: to stop this? Well, there are many brave people that 464 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: are stepping up and great brave teachers who are in 465 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: our the industry, the entertainment austry, and in the you know, 466 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: in the news industry that are stepping up and giving 467 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: us a direction. So we have to find those people 468 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: and stick with them and support them. What was it 469 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: about conservatism? You know, when did you become a conservative? 470 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 1: And what convinced you? Know you talked about your journey 471 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: with religion. What was your journey alike in politics? My 472 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: journey in politics was that I was susceptible to being 473 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: in the sixties. I was just learning to going to 474 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: school to learn to act, wanting to be one of 475 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: those actors that works all the time, you know, needing 476 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: to have success and trying to find roles, trying to 477 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: find all of this stuff. And I was available to 478 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: all of the The politics of that time, which was anarchisms, 479 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: took place in the streets of the United States. You know, 480 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: there was a lot of things going on, and I 481 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: when I look back, I say, well, what happened was 482 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: really from the trauma of losing John Kennedy. I was 483 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: a big supporter of Kenny. I mean it was I 484 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: was infatuated with Kennedy, was very it seemed like the 485 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: answer to many things. He was very idealistic, and he 486 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: had this nice way about him and I believed in it. 487 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: And then and the country did too, and suddenly he 488 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: was murdered, and I think everyone was I think everyone 489 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: was hurt by that. When we talk about trauma, I 490 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: think everybody knew where they were when they heard that news. 491 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: I think the fact is that nobody really could figure 492 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: out what exactly happened to this day, and and after 493 00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: that things became We had no leadership in the top. 494 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:08,239 Speaker 1: That's what I felt. That leadership we believed in, and 495 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: that's my personal Everyone knows where they were at the 496 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: time they heard that news, and so I would say 497 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: that was a big blow, and in moved all of 498 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: this leftism, some from from the people in the streets 499 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: who were just advocating free love and this and you 500 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 1: know all that stuff. But that was also planted by 501 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: by very clever people from the left, which means the 502 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: Communists and the Russian KGB, the German group, the Frankfurt 503 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 1: School came in. They were on the left, and so 504 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: all of these distortions that took place were manipulated, and 505 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: that was the beginning now since that time, we we 506 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 1: had one break where we President Reagan and things were 507 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: more clear and different and better, but it didn't last 508 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: very long, and we took our eye especially when the 509 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: Soviet Union collapsed. We felt we had no you know, 510 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: no enemies anymore, and we took our eye off the ball. 511 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,400 Speaker 1: And that's when they moved in. That's when the forces 512 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: that they had started in the sixties moved into our 513 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 1: schools or education. So they had been moving into the 514 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: education system and took over our industry and and and 515 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: took over the media. So and we can you can 516 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 1: you can chart that out and see here as and 517 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: villains in that process. But that's that's where we are now. 518 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: We're really facing a takeover. Well, there's just such censorship. 519 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: I mean, you talked about tyranny earlier. I mean we 520 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: look at the fact that the president, the former president 521 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: of United States was banned from so social media. We 522 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: have big tech actively taking a role in silencing or 523 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: suppressing information. I mean even today, if you try questioning election, 524 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: despite the fact that Democrats whied about the election for years, 525 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: if you try questioning an election where we had an 526 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: unprecedented amount of mail in ballots in the middle of 527 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: a pandemic. Uh, you know, you get needed as some 528 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: sort of conspiracy theorist. Why do you think that is? Why? 529 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: Why can't we question the results of election? Well, this 530 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 1: has been launching Donald Trump has been very interesting because 531 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: Donald who is Donald Trump, Donald Trump as a fellow, 532 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: is very very successful, has many gifts, obvious gifts prior 533 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 1: to becoming president, right. Uh, certainly got to work with 534 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: many different aspects of our society to put up the 535 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 1: beautiful buildings that he has, you know, gotten accomplished. It's 536 00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: changed the skyline of of you know, New York City 537 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: and the world. Really many many different buildings across the world. 538 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: And he's used to working with all sorts of different things, 539 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: you know, in order to get permissions that you have 540 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: to work with the different city councils and all sorts 541 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 1: of stuff and and architects and building materials. You have 542 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 1: to budget stuff, and he had to. He has a 543 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: tremendous arsenal of talents that he's uh that he's been creator, 544 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 1: you know, calling over the years, and and then he 545 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 1: becomes president United States. Now he becomes president United States, 546 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: and people didn't know where he was going to go. 547 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: If you remember, they didn't know whether he was going 548 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 1: to be conservative or whether he was too much on 549 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 1: the left, because he's been you know, he's been friends 550 00:34:56,160 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 1: with Hillary Clinton for you know, put money into this that, 551 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden he starts. But but 552 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: somebody knew because before he was, before he was actually 553 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:13,720 Speaker 1: sworn in, they said they're going to impeach him, didn't they? 554 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:19,240 Speaker 1: The left and the Democrat Party knew he was dangerous 555 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 1: to them because why why he hadn't done anything yet. 556 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: Part of it was because he didn't have any respect 557 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: for the swamp, you know, the way things go. He 558 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 1: wasn't You couldn't corrupt him, you couldn't buy him. Oh wow, 559 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 1: that's that stuff, you see. But did how did they 560 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:49,240 Speaker 1: see the power that he was? And it's very interesting 561 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 1: they were They were went after him with everything they 562 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: had right from the beginning, and he was very friendly 563 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 1: to many of these people who were leadership in the 564 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 1: Democrat Party. So something's way off, you see. They knew 565 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: somehow that he was going to be dangerous to them, 566 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:12,480 Speaker 1: and in fact he was because he's because he's a good, 567 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 1: god fearing man who has a great talent for leadership 568 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: and he was going to go in and he said, 569 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to clean this up a little bit. And 570 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: he did everything he said he did. And perhaps it 571 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 1: was the promises he made as he grew towards the 572 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 1: election that he said he was going to do this close, 573 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 1: you know, close for the war at the border, take 574 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 1: you know, take on the challenge of of China, do 575 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 1: all redo the trade, all of these things that he 576 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 1: said he was going to do. He actually did the 577 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:56,160 Speaker 1: most amazing thing because no one has ever done so 578 00:36:56,239 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: much in such a short period of time. And and 579 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 1: when you think that he was attacked every day that 580 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 1: he was in office, it's unbelievable. But what do you 581 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 1: think happened? Because you've said before, um, you know, you're 582 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 1: disgusted with the lie that Biden has been chosen as 583 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: if we all don't know the truth, what do you 584 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 1: think the truth is about? Oh well, I mean I 585 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 1: think you said it. I mean, there's so much evidence 586 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 1: that it was it was a stolen election. I take 587 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: this back to the moment when Soros realized that Trump 588 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,720 Speaker 1: had been elected by the American people and he said, 589 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: this is a disaster, and he meant it, and Soros 590 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 1: is a very interesting character, and he represents all of 591 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 1: the stuff that's going on. Ah, he's anti Trump in 592 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 1: every way, and he was not. And he uses all 593 00:37:53,760 --> 00:38:00,920 Speaker 1: his billions two infiltrate into the schools with all his 594 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:06,919 Speaker 1: foundations and all this is organizations all misnomer by the way, 595 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,960 Speaker 1: because they all represent themselves on being patriotical. They're not 596 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: like like looking at the Constitution. And then it really 597 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: is an attack on the Constitution and that's given to 598 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,280 Speaker 1: the you know, kids in colleges. I mean, he's really 599 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: a supporter of everything at the American So so anyway 600 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 1: that when he said that, it was like saying, Okay, 601 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,080 Speaker 1: threw down the ground, but he's gonna he's never gonna 602 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,840 Speaker 1: let this happen again. And it was he and the 603 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,240 Speaker 1: Democratic leadership and all of the people on the left 604 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:49,839 Speaker 1: who gathered together to stop this man and to make 605 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:54,399 Speaker 1: sure that this next election would not repeat itself. And 606 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 1: of course they had a big problem because Donald Trump 607 00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,839 Speaker 1: gave us the best economy we've ever had, and he 608 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:05,399 Speaker 1: was doing all all sorts of things you know that 609 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:11,759 Speaker 1: we dreamed would be accomplished. It needed so badly to 610 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 1: be done. We were seeing you know, the the country 611 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 1: go down hill, and all of a sudden, this man 612 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 1: comes up and has insights and almost every area of 613 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:28,400 Speaker 1: the problem and corrects it as he goes. Well, some 614 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 1: quite something and and they were going to but they 615 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:33,840 Speaker 1: were going to bring him down. So they gathered every 616 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 1: force they could and tried every deceitful, you know, method 617 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,760 Speaker 1: to attack him and slander him, and they still couldn't 618 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 1: do it until COVID And so you have to question 619 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,799 Speaker 1: that too. But then coming down to the election, they 620 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,360 Speaker 1: weren't going to do They weren't gonna let this happen. 621 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 1: They just weren't happen. So that you get all of 622 00:39:56,080 --> 00:40:01,320 Speaker 1: these things about, you know, well, just weakening all the 623 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,239 Speaker 1: ability for people to make a proper vote and be 624 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 1: properly counted. And that's what they did all across the country, 625 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 1: And they used every method, and they encouraged every kind 626 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:19,040 Speaker 1: of bad behavior and uh and I and and those blackouts, 627 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 1: you know, there's several hour blackouts in the main states, unbelievable, 628 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: and that turned the tide. So yeah, I think I 629 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,239 Speaker 1: think we have to pay very close attention to it, 630 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 1: and hopefully, you know, the truth will emerge and we'll 631 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 1: catch these people who are this is real, This is 632 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 1: real criminal behavior of the highest order. Do you think 633 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 1: President Trump should run again or who do you think? 634 00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 1: Who are you looking at as the future of the 635 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:55,040 Speaker 1: Republican Party. Well, I think we have many great people. 636 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 1: Actually we should take heart that we have many great 637 00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 1: people in the Republican Party who have stepped up too, 638 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 1: have gone through this, you know, standing standing tall. I 639 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,799 Speaker 1: can name you know, dozens and that, and that's a 640 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:17,840 Speaker 1: that's good. But right now I'm I'm watching President Trump 641 00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:23,920 Speaker 1: to see what he's going to do. I think I 642 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 1: think we have to just wait and see. There obviously 643 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:33,480 Speaker 1: are other people who can run, uh and be successful, 644 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:37,800 Speaker 1: and I think the country will show itself next November 645 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: in a very strong way. But I'm watching President Trump. 646 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,400 Speaker 1: He still has enormous influence. People love this man for 647 00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,320 Speaker 1: what he has done and for that way he handles 648 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 1: himself how much. You know what you mentioned The next election, 649 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,560 Speaker 1: which I think is probably one of the most consequential 650 00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 1: elections we've ever had an American history. Personally, I think 651 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,520 Speaker 1: it's going to determine if we become, you know, a communist, 652 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,759 Speaker 1: authoritarian type nation or a nation that is still a 653 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,719 Speaker 1: republic that still believes believes in the foundings of our country. 654 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,480 Speaker 1: How much of a referendum do you think it will 655 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:18,040 Speaker 1: be on the Biden administration. Well, of course it's going 656 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,640 Speaker 1: to be, But then again, it's gonna be You're gonna 657 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,360 Speaker 1: look to the polls to see if you have the ability. 658 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,279 Speaker 1: And the Biden administration is changing everything. They're doing a 659 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 1: lot of damage on a daily basis, and they're trying 660 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:35,359 Speaker 1: to and the Democrat Party is trying to overthrow all 661 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 1: of the constitutional strengths of our country. Lenn can I 662 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 1: can I just read? Let me read because a lot 663 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 1: of people haven't seen that video. Let me read the 664 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:53,880 Speaker 1: words right now, Biden is these are the words. Biden 665 00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:59,040 Speaker 1: has taken all Trump's works and switched to Obama's carefully 666 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:04,359 Speaker 1: instructed instructions. This nation is in complete chaos. Let us 667 00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:08,200 Speaker 1: pray for a moment. Let us bless this nation for 668 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:13,560 Speaker 1: a moment. My dear friends, my fellow Americans. Donald J. 669 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:18,880 Speaker 1: Trump was our savior. This new administration has turns us 670 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 1: upside down with deceit and destruction. We're all in the 671 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:29,560 Speaker 1: same frame of mind, hoping, praying for God's miracle, a 672 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: miracle that can cross us over like the parting of 673 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:40,239 Speaker 1: the See Jesus spoke, Moses spoke, Let God speak, Let 674 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:44,320 Speaker 1: God heal all our suffering souls. And let President Trump 675 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:48,759 Speaker 1: feel this because he was truly following God's call, not 676 00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:52,000 Speaker 1: the swamp that destroys. I want to get to the 677 00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:56,360 Speaker 1: end of it, because it's very important. He President Trump 678 00:43:56,400 --> 00:44:00,920 Speaker 1: had a gift for all people, all nations. He loved 679 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,360 Speaker 1: this country, and he did say it until the left 680 00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,160 Speaker 1: wing distorted all his work and turned it into the 681 00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 1: their deceit. We the people who have faith, We the 682 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:17,319 Speaker 1: people that love our country, the U s A. We 683 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 1: all must focus on what is truly truths, what and 684 00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:27,719 Speaker 1: who has our best interests. Be aware, my fellow Americans, 685 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:34,280 Speaker 1: the Biden administration has destroyed our nation. But my friends, 686 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:39,879 Speaker 1: God has a plan. He will show that truths will win. 687 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:45,720 Speaker 1: No man can lie, stale, or take away the one truth. 688 00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:52,200 Speaker 1: And that is the power of God, the power of righteousness, 689 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:56,240 Speaker 1: the power of Abraham Lincoln's work, the note he left 690 00:44:56,360 --> 00:45:02,440 Speaker 1: for his nation that this nation under God shall have 691 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 1: a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, 692 00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:11,399 Speaker 1: by the people, for the people shall not perish from 693 00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 1: this earth. I really do think, you know, we talked 694 00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:17,440 Speaker 1: about earlier about sort of looking at God and family, 695 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:19,360 Speaker 1: and I think that's part of the reason why the 696 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,960 Speaker 1: left tends to de emphasized religion. They tend to de 697 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:26,000 Speaker 1: emphasized families, because if you're rooted in these things that 698 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,719 Speaker 1: are deeper and more important than government, you're not looking 699 00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:32,399 Speaker 1: to government. I mean, they really want a population that 700 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,719 Speaker 1: is completely dependent on the government, that's dependent on them, 701 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,920 Speaker 1: that doesn't have you know that aren't that aren't rooted 702 00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:42,920 Speaker 1: in core convictions like family and religion. It seems sense. 703 00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:47,120 Speaker 1: You know, of the COVID stuff to stay in your house, 704 00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,080 Speaker 1: do do this? Do that? Where your mass? Where three 705 00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:55,399 Speaker 1: mess do? What are you doing? They spend their time 706 00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,880 Speaker 1: with that. They don't spend their time solving anything. They 707 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:02,440 Speaker 1: have no understanding of governance. Certainly they have no understanding 708 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,440 Speaker 1: of the economy. I mean, when listen, this is a 709 00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:09,840 Speaker 1: long story with communism. When Lenin took over in Russia 710 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:15,400 Speaker 1: the Bolsheviks, after four years, he killed four million people, 711 00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,600 Speaker 1: starved more four million people than to death, and ten 712 00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:23,480 Speaker 1: years later over five million people were starved by Joseph Stalin. 713 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:30,360 Speaker 1: I was there in the early nineties and I was 714 00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:35,640 Speaker 1: witnessed to the misery that the people lived under. And 715 00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:39,640 Speaker 1: this is what we're voting in now. We we we 716 00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,440 Speaker 1: have we've got to stop this. We've got to know 717 00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 1: that we have a great country with a tremendous, you know, 718 00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,960 Speaker 1: set of principles and instructions. We have to get back 719 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:57,160 Speaker 1: to it, to our happiness. And we're suffering right now, 720 00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:01,839 Speaker 1: and and we have to prevail. The truth has to prevail. Now. 721 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,560 Speaker 1: We have to stand up. Do you think that's why 722 00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 1: I'm You know, Martin Luther King said that he wanted 723 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,040 Speaker 1: his kids to grow up in a nation that they 724 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,400 Speaker 1: were judged on the content of their character versus the 725 00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:15,920 Speaker 1: color of their skin. But it seems like the left 726 00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:20,000 Speaker 1: is pushing, uh, this idea that everyone views each other 727 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:23,120 Speaker 1: from a racial prism as a prisment versus just looking 728 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,920 Speaker 1: at each other as human beings or fellow Americans. You know, 729 00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,279 Speaker 1: why do you think we've arrived at this point of 730 00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:33,439 Speaker 1: such racial division? Yeah, well, it's it's been inserted into 731 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,960 Speaker 1: our country because of all of this stuff, the gender 732 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:40,640 Speaker 1: stuff that came with the private school. You know, we 733 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,799 Speaker 1: we we've been invaded. We got to know where this 734 00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,400 Speaker 1: came from and and you know, reveal it to folks, 735 00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:55,200 Speaker 1: um the this this whole nonsense of you know, diversity 736 00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:59,960 Speaker 1: training programs that are not about racial sensitivity there are 737 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,400 Speaker 1: about demonizing white people now and the constitutional order of 738 00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:10,240 Speaker 1: individual freedom, equality and accountability that the American founders created. 739 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:15,359 Speaker 1: Dressing up a racial attack, you know, like this and 740 00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:21,839 Speaker 1: demand for conformity as racial sensitivity towards minorities is perhaps well, 741 00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,640 Speaker 1: it's the only way such an anti democratic set of 742 00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:28,520 Speaker 1: ideas could possibly be imposed on the American mind. But anyway, 743 00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:35,359 Speaker 1: we're dealing with real bad stuff here, bad thinking. What's 744 00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:38,080 Speaker 1: the path forward? Because you've you've been a student of this, 745 00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,040 Speaker 1: You've paid a lot of attention over the years, which 746 00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:43,240 Speaker 1: is obvious in my conversation with you. You know, what's 747 00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,440 Speaker 1: what's your hope for America? What's your hope for the future. 748 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,919 Speaker 1: I say, righteousness is done dead. God has not left 749 00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:55,000 Speaker 1: his chair, you know. I say, it's this is It's 750 00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:59,640 Speaker 1: not it's not just going to church. It's not understanding 751 00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:04,120 Speaker 1: that we were here for what? What? What is a 752 00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,279 Speaker 1: life worth? What is a life? We have to ask 753 00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:13,800 Speaker 1: that question. Our lives are are given us an opportunity 754 00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:19,800 Speaker 1: to grow, to learn lessons, to grow strong, to help 755 00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:24,279 Speaker 1: to look to other people. What is the basic golden rule? 756 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 1: Do one too others? Well, all of that is missing. 757 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:32,320 Speaker 1: Now let's not do do onto others. Meet has another meaning. 758 00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:35,520 Speaker 1: Now do it to your you know, the your enemy, 759 00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 1: do it. Do it to the masses, do it. But 760 00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:43,240 Speaker 1: you know, it's this totalitarian thing that that the American 761 00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:48,239 Speaker 1: founders put behind us, put behind the world. We were 762 00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 1: the you know, the Declaration of Independence. Uh, you know 763 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,520 Speaker 1: these words, and the Declaration of Independence changed three thousand 764 00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:02,400 Speaker 1: years of tyranny. We've watch forth government by the people. 765 00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:09,120 Speaker 1: You know, in a very beautiful, very considered way, that 766 00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:14,759 Speaker 1: these instructions that are in our constitution are golden. And 767 00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:19,319 Speaker 1: we changed the world what we thought forever, but now 768 00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:23,920 Speaker 1: we're being pulled back. So anyway, the answer is that 769 00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:28,319 Speaker 1: God is real and we have to be we have 770 00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,480 Speaker 1: to be our better selves, and we have to stand 771 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:35,799 Speaker 1: now for our children and the future children. And what's 772 00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:39,280 Speaker 1: next for you? You've you've confort you've accomplished a tremendous 773 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:40,960 Speaker 1: amount in your life. What do you want to do? 774 00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:45,680 Speaker 1: What's next for you? Oh? Well, I'm you know, I'm 775 00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:52,320 Speaker 1: eighty two years old and I'm still very very active 776 00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:57,520 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, and pretty good health and you know, 777 00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:01,120 Speaker 1: and I still love acting, so I'll still do my 778 00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:03,879 Speaker 1: work as an actor, you know, the best I can. 779 00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,879 Speaker 1: I probably never never somebody asked me if I would 780 00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:09,280 Speaker 1: retire as No, I don't think I'm going to retire 781 00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:14,880 Speaker 1: as long as I can still play something, you know, uh, 782 00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:20,280 Speaker 1: the available. But the idea for me is I'm looking 783 00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,600 Speaker 1: after this country the best I can. I feel so 784 00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:27,000 Speaker 1: much my citizenship to this country.

I took a gamble, you know, I 815 00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,239 Speaker 1: left a great job to take a gamble on TV 816 00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:12,879 Speaker 1: to see if I could get a contract and make 817 00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:15,120 Speaker 1: it work. And I you know, didn't really have a 818 00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:18,200 Speaker 1: plan in place. It was sort of It was sort 819 00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,400 Speaker 1: of something that just came up and it arised and 820 00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,279 Speaker 1: I had to make a decision. And my parents were 821 00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:24,440 Speaker 1: fully supportive of it because they knew I loved television. 822 00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:26,880 Speaker 1: They knew that was my dream. So I was very blessed, 823 00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,480 Speaker 1: like you to have parents that were just very supportive, 824 00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:33,279 Speaker 1: and you know, we're there, loved, unconditionally supportive no matter what, 825 00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:35,879 Speaker 1: always there to pick you up. And which is why 826 00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:39,319 Speaker 1: I believe that family nucleus is everything in life. And 827 00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:40,759 Speaker 1: I grew up with three brothers, so I had an 828 00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:43,760 Speaker 1: older brother who you know, says that he made me tough, 829 00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:47,040 Speaker 1: you know, practicing, you know, wrestling moves and you know, 830 00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:50,040 Speaker 1: stuff like that. But yes, I grew up in an 831 00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 1: environment where family is everything, you know, and especially I'm 832 00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:55,840 Speaker 1: sure you feel this way, you know, working in in 833 00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:59,200 Speaker 1: Hollywood and working and acting. You know, look media as 834 00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,719 Speaker 1: a fickle beast, right, So it's you know, things are 835 00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:04,160 Speaker 1: going great today and I'm fortunate for that, and I've 836 00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:07,200 Speaker 1: worked hard. I blessed to have what I have for now, 837 00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:10,160 Speaker 1: but it could go way tomorrow. And so if that happens, 838 00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:13,120 Speaker 1: what are you left with and what really matters in life? 839 00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,440 Speaker 1: And you know, it's friends, it's family, it's the people 840 00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:18,080 Speaker 1: around you. It's the things that are so much more 841 00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,560 Speaker 1: important than work or money or or any of this 842 00:54:20,600 --> 00:54:22,120 Speaker 1: other stuff. So I try to keep that in the 843 00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,920 Speaker 1: back of my mind too. In an industry that I 844 00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:28,239 Speaker 1: know so fickle, so up and down. Uh, and you 845 00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:30,040 Speaker 1: never know where it's gonna end up. You know, even 846 00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,440 Speaker 1: a week from now. Well, you're doing very very well. 847 00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,840 Speaker 1: You're blessed to have great gifts, you know so, and 848 00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:40,640 Speaker 1: you're using them wisely.
