By season three we 42 00:02:20,897 --> 00:02:22,737 Speaker 1: became the most watched TV show in the world. We 43 00:02:22,737 --> 00:02:24,697 Speaker 1: were in one hundred and seventy six countries, so I 44 00:02:24,737 --> 00:02:27,057 Speaker 1: had a seven year run on that show and I 45 00:02:27,097 --> 00:02:30,097 Speaker 1: had an absolute blast.

How did how did 67 00:03:31,777 --> 00:03:36,857 Speaker 1: the whole hercules a legendary journeys thing come together? I'm 68 00:03:36,937 --> 00:03:40,377 Speaker 1: a typical audition, you know they doing you know, when 69 00:03:40,417 --> 00:03:42,217 Speaker 1: I lived in California, it was the typical one. They 70 00:03:42,257 --> 00:03:45,737 Speaker 1: call youms, hey, they're doing a new new new movies 71 00:03:45,817 --> 00:03:47,977 Speaker 1: actually starting. It was gonna be five two hour movies 72 00:03:48,057 --> 00:03:51,017 Speaker 1: before it became a series. And I said, kay, I'm 73 00:03:51,057 --> 00:03:53,537 Speaker 1: a big guy, but I'm not like a steroid dude. 74 00:03:53,537 --> 00:03:56,057 Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna want these big body but no, no, no, 75 00:03:56,097 --> 00:04:00,577 Speaker 1: they're looking for like a a Decatholte or NFL quarterback 76 00:04:00,657 --> 00:04:03,857 Speaker 1: size guy. So sure enough, my first audition at Universal 77 00:04:04,177 --> 00:04:06,617 Speaker 1: pretty much what it was. Um, they called me back 78 00:04:06,737 --> 00:04:09,977 Speaker 1: seven times before I got the role. They auditioned two thousand, 79 00:04:10,057 --> 00:04:12,497 Speaker 1: eight hundred actors in North America, I found out later. 80 00:04:12,657 --> 00:04:16,457 Speaker 1: So I got down the last three guys and I 81 00:04:16,577 --> 00:04:19,817 Speaker 1: got the role. And you know, initially I said five 82 00:04:19,857 --> 00:04:22,137 Speaker 1: to our movies. I got to work with Anthony Quinn, 83 00:04:22,457 --> 00:04:24,897 Speaker 1: which was awesome. There was a guy who's been nominated 84 00:04:24,897 --> 00:04:26,977 Speaker 1: I think about five times for Academy Awards and won 85 00:04:27,017 --> 00:04:29,257 Speaker 1: a couple of them. So, um, it was pretty cool 86 00:04:29,297 --> 00:04:32,337 Speaker 1: to work with him. And I knew by the third movie, 87 00:04:32,377 --> 00:04:34,297 Speaker 1: I said too, you know, I said, they're gonna make 88 00:04:34,297 --> 00:04:36,057 Speaker 1: I told my manager, they're gonna make this as serious. 89 00:04:36,097 --> 00:04:38,377 Speaker 1: There's no there's nothing like it on TV. And I'll 90 00:04:38,417 --> 00:04:41,297 Speaker 1: tell you any time, whether it's a movie or TV show, 91 00:04:41,337 --> 00:04:44,017 Speaker 1: Hollywood follows a copy of So by our third year, 92 00:04:44,657 --> 00:04:47,337 Speaker 1: there was all these copycat shows. There was Sinbad, there 93 00:04:47,417 --> 00:04:49,777 Speaker 1: was Tarzan, there was Conan, there was Robin Hood. So 94 00:04:49,857 --> 00:04:52,257 Speaker 1: all these shows tried to copy what we were doing. 95 00:04:52,257 --> 00:04:54,257 Speaker 1: And that's that's typical of Hollywood. They want to jump 96 00:04:54,257 --> 00:04:56,817 Speaker 1: on that bandwagon if there's something doing going hot and strong. 97 00:04:57,697 --> 00:04:59,697 Speaker 1: So you are on the track for seven years. I 98 00:04:59,697 --> 00:05:03,337 Speaker 1: remember your your sidekick on that show. How do you 99 00:05:03,337 --> 00:05:06,777 Speaker 1: guys get along? And how did he end up doing Eolis? 100 00:05:07,057 --> 00:05:09,857 Speaker 1: He's a new Zealander. Um, we are about as different 101 00:05:09,857 --> 00:05:12,097 Speaker 1: as two people can be, but we got along just fine. 102 00:05:12,257 --> 00:05:15,217 Speaker 1: You know, he's he's you know I'm conservative. He's about 103 00:05:15,217 --> 00:05:17,057 Speaker 1: as far left as you can go in the country 104 00:05:17,137 --> 00:05:20,377 Speaker 1: like New Zealand, a socialist. So this is actually perfect 105 00:05:20,377 --> 00:05:22,697 Speaker 1: way to transition. By the way to release the crack 106 00:05:22,777 --> 00:05:25,017 Speaker 1: in movie is Clash of the Titans, which I was 107 00:05:25,057 --> 00:05:27,777 Speaker 1: trying to think of, which so it's Clash of the Titans, 108 00:05:28,017 --> 00:05:31,457 Speaker 1: which should be amazing. It just it just wasn't well done. 109 00:05:31,457 --> 00:05:33,417 Speaker 1: It had great some great actors, it wasn't well done, 110 00:05:33,777 --> 00:05:35,897 Speaker 1: and it was obviously a remake. But you know, what 111 00:05:36,017 --> 00:05:41,617 Speaker 1: we saw about COVID in Australia, in New Zealand, I 112 00:05:41,657 --> 00:05:43,097 Speaker 1: think that was a wake up call for me. You know, 113 00:05:43,137 --> 00:05:44,737 Speaker 1: I'm an x CIA guy. I spent a lot of 114 00:05:44,737 --> 00:05:48,457 Speaker 1: time Middle East places like that. I just always assumed 115 00:05:48,497 --> 00:05:52,737 Speaker 1: that Australia was kind of like England, but a little 116 00:05:52,777 --> 00:05:54,897 Speaker 1: bit more fun, a little bit better weather, you know, 117 00:05:55,217 --> 00:05:58,777 Speaker 1: more funky animals koalas and kangaroos and stuff. And it 118 00:05:58,857 --> 00:06:03,377 Speaker 1: turned out that these places, more specifically in New Zealand 119 00:06:03,497 --> 00:06:06,217 Speaker 1: or more even more clearly New Zealand, are kind of 120 00:06:06,257 --> 00:06:10,257 Speaker 1: like East Germany with weird accents or different accents in 121 00:06:10,257 --> 00:06:13,417 Speaker 1: the German ones. I gotta be honest, I was shocked. 122 00:06:13,577 --> 00:06:16,017 Speaker 1: I really was. I didn't think those two countries would 123 00:06:16,057 --> 00:06:18,057 Speaker 1: react that way, or they put people in that political 124 00:06:18,097 --> 00:06:20,657 Speaker 1: power that way. But it shows you what what fear. 125 00:06:20,817 --> 00:06:23,057 Speaker 1: I mean, our government uses fear as a weapon as well. 126 00:06:23,097 --> 00:06:25,177 Speaker 1: But I had buddies down there and I was told 127 00:06:25,177 --> 00:06:27,457 Speaker 1: about what they were doing in both countries. I've spent time. 128 00:06:27,457 --> 00:06:30,057 Speaker 1: I've shot movies in Australia. I probably spent about a 129 00:06:30,137 --> 00:06:32,737 Speaker 1: year and a half on Australia through the years. I 130 00:06:32,817 --> 00:06:34,777 Speaker 1: was blown away by how crazy. And now I see 131 00:06:34,777 --> 00:06:38,097 Speaker 1: the Prime Minister from New Zealand stepping down because I 132 00:06:38,137 --> 00:06:41,057 Speaker 1: understand her rating and Google ratings like twenty seven percent 133 00:06:41,137 --> 00:06:43,817 Speaker 1: or something, so she's but they're replacing her. What yet 134 00:06:43,857 --> 00:06:46,097 Speaker 1: another guy that's just as strict with all the old 135 00:06:46,457 --> 00:06:48,857 Speaker 1: you know, everybody's got to take, you know, eight shots 136 00:06:48,857 --> 00:06:52,377 Speaker 1: every year. And I mean, it's just it's crazy that 137 00:06:52,457 --> 00:06:54,777 Speaker 1: people let that happen. It's crazy that this country is 138 00:06:54,817 --> 00:06:56,657 Speaker 1: letting that happen. I keep reminding people it is we 139 00:06:56,777 --> 00:06:59,377 Speaker 1: the people, But you know, we have a bunch of 140 00:06:59,417 --> 00:07:01,137 Speaker 1: sheep in this country. We have a bunch of people 141 00:07:01,177 --> 00:07:04,937 Speaker 1: that just apathy is the killer of America, and people 142 00:07:04,937 --> 00:07:07,497 Speaker 1: don't seem to care and I'm glad you're fighting the fight. 143 00:07:07,577 --> 00:07:10,057 Speaker 1: I'm fighting the fight, so you know here we are. 144 00:07:10,657 --> 00:07:13,777 Speaker 1: You know you're also a guy like May who has 145 00:07:13,857 --> 00:07:17,337 Speaker 1: moved on to the greener pastures of Florida and the 146 00:07:17,417 --> 00:07:21,537 Speaker 1: Red State revolution that is occurring here leaving California yearcase, 147 00:07:21,617 --> 00:07:23,257 Speaker 1: New York. In my case, I want to get into 148 00:07:23,297 --> 00:07:26,737 Speaker 1: that in a second, because I've never obviously in our 149 00:07:26,777 --> 00:07:28,497 Speaker 1: life and in my lifetime, in your lifetime, I don't 150 00:07:28,497 --> 00:07:30,817 Speaker 1: think we've ever seen anything like this. So we'll get 151 00:07:30,817 --> 00:07:32,297 Speaker 1: into that in just a second. But I want to 152 00:07:32,337 --> 00:07:34,217 Speaker 1: tell everybody about the Tunnel of the Towers Foundation for 153 00:07:34,257 --> 00:07:36,377 Speaker 1: a moment.

Like, at what point you know 175 00:08:40,057 --> 00:08:41,737 Speaker 1: you're an actor? Your guy? You are on a great 176 00:08:41,897 --> 00:08:43,337 Speaker 1: great By the way, if anyone has to see it, 177 00:08:43,257 --> 00:08:46,097 Speaker 1: The Legendary Journeys, it's a super fun show that we 178 00:08:46,177 --> 00:08:47,897 Speaker 1: still to this day. I think it holds up really well. 179 00:08:47,977 --> 00:08:49,977 Speaker 1: Not to get too fanboy over here, but I love 180 00:08:50,017 --> 00:08:54,257 Speaker 1: the show. I thought it was great. So did I 181 00:08:54,337 --> 00:08:56,497 Speaker 1: read it as a kid, So meeting up playing Hercules 182 00:08:56,617 --> 00:08:58,617 Speaker 1: was pretty cool and what the writers did, they also 183 00:08:58,697 --> 00:09:00,857 Speaker 1: did pretty good moral messages in there, but they also 184 00:09:01,497 --> 00:09:03,177 Speaker 1: put a lot of humor in there. And I kind 185 00:09:03,177 --> 00:09:05,697 Speaker 1: of said that Sam Ramy was our exact producer, so 186 00:09:05,697 --> 00:09:07,737 Speaker 1: he did the Spider Man movies and Evil Dead and 187 00:09:07,737 --> 00:09:10,337 Speaker 1: all that, And I told Sam, I said, you know what, 188 00:09:10,377 --> 00:09:12,657 Speaker 1: we gotta make sure people laugh with us and not 189 00:09:12,777 --> 00:09:15,257 Speaker 1: at us, because otherwise were too easy for people to, 190 00:09:15,377 --> 00:09:17,217 Speaker 1: you know, to make fun of the show. And I 191 00:09:17,257 --> 00:09:19,657 Speaker 1: think people love the humor of this of the series. 192 00:09:19,977 --> 00:09:22,737 Speaker 1: So when season three started, with all the spin off 193 00:09:22,777 --> 00:09:25,137 Speaker 1: all the show's trying to copy us, we spun off 194 00:09:25,177 --> 00:09:28,017 Speaker 1: a female type herculars show zena warrior press. I was 195 00:09:28,017 --> 00:09:31,537 Speaker 1: gonna say Ena Lucy Lawless. But in season yeah, she 196 00:09:31,617 --> 00:09:34,177 Speaker 1: kept her first husband's last name but married my producer. Okay, 197 00:09:34,257 --> 00:09:38,377 Speaker 1: figure that one out anyway, but it was let me 198 00:09:38,377 --> 00:09:40,137 Speaker 1: put it this way, the casting couch is alive in 199 00:09:40,137 --> 00:09:41,937 Speaker 1: a will, no matter where you're on the world. So 200 00:09:42,257 --> 00:09:48,217 Speaker 1: season five, Wow, Season five, we spun off young Hercules, 201 00:09:48,857 --> 00:09:51,057 Speaker 1: and young Hercules was played by a twenty year old actor. 202 00:09:51,057 --> 00:09:53,057 Speaker 1: At the time, most people nobody knew who he was, 203 00:09:53,497 --> 00:09:56,017 Speaker 1: but everybody knows he is now because the show got 204 00:09:56,057 --> 00:09:58,537 Speaker 1: canceled for two years and he was devastated. And I 205 00:09:58,577 --> 00:10:00,937 Speaker 1: went out to lunch with him and I said, hey, dude, 206 00:10:00,937 --> 00:10:03,217 Speaker 1: you're a good actor. You'll do fine. His name is 207 00:10:03,337 --> 00:10:10,817 Speaker 1: Ryan Gosling. Really he played me as a teenage So Ryan, 208 00:10:11,057 --> 00:10:15,017 Speaker 1: if you're watching wink wink, I'm sure he's watching us. Uh, 209 00:10:15,137 --> 00:10:16,817 Speaker 1: you know you owe me something. Put me one of 210 00:10:16,857 --> 00:10:20,097 Speaker 1: your movies.

And 213 00:10:26,977 --> 00:10:29,297 Speaker 1: if we get a little too uh, a little too 214 00:10:29,297 --> 00:10:31,897 Speaker 1: dismissive of all all those commies in Hollywood, and they 215 00:10:31,937 --> 00:10:34,577 Speaker 1: know they don't know, they sometimes don't reach out and say, hey, 216 00:10:34,937 --> 00:10:37,137 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not going public with this, but 217 00:10:37,217 --> 00:10:39,777 Speaker 1: just so you know, you know, I listened to you back. 218 00:10:39,977 --> 00:10:42,857 Speaker 1: I listened to radio show every day, and I know 219 00:10:42,897 --> 00:10:45,777 Speaker 1: who they are. But yeah, you know, we're We're the 220 00:10:45,817 --> 00:10:47,577 Speaker 1: new in the closet, the gays in the Hollywood and 221 00:10:47,657 --> 00:10:49,497 Speaker 1: on the closet. The conservatives are one that are in 222 00:10:49,537 --> 00:10:51,977 Speaker 1: the closet. Now. I came out many years ago, so 223 00:10:52,017 --> 00:10:54,377 Speaker 1: I just got tired of it, so I'm um, I'll 224 00:10:54,377 --> 00:10:57,617 Speaker 1: tell you how we moved on. What happened. We both 225 00:10:57,617 --> 00:10:59,337 Speaker 1: have family of here. My wife and both have family 226 00:10:59,337 --> 00:11:01,017 Speaker 1: in Florida. We've been coming out here for years. We 227 00:11:01,057 --> 00:11:04,777 Speaker 1: know the place, and we about ten years ago we 228 00:11:04,817 --> 00:11:06,817 Speaker 1: started talking about it. So we came out of here 229 00:11:06,857 --> 00:11:08,657 Speaker 1: before the COVID and we've been on here over four 230 00:11:08,737 --> 00:11:11,617 Speaker 1: years now, and it got to a point I said, 231 00:11:11,657 --> 00:11:14,337 Speaker 1: I hate getting in the car, I hate driving in 232 00:11:14,337 --> 00:11:16,257 Speaker 1: this city. I hate put up the taxes and the 233 00:11:16,337 --> 00:11:19,377 Speaker 1: ridiculous politics. So we put the house up for sale. 234 00:11:19,817 --> 00:11:23,297 Speaker 1: And what happened is one of the many fires that 235 00:11:23,337 --> 00:11:25,937 Speaker 1: always happened in California came through our neighborhood there in 236 00:11:25,977 --> 00:11:28,977 Speaker 1: Thousand Oaks. We lost three homes in our neighborhood to 237 00:11:29,017 --> 00:11:31,337 Speaker 1: the fire. Fire came within three feet of our house, 238 00:11:31,417 --> 00:11:33,657 Speaker 1: went around the house. A guy came up to the 239 00:11:33,657 --> 00:11:35,697 Speaker 1: house so the first sales sign and said, hey, look, 240 00:11:37,377 --> 00:11:39,337 Speaker 1: our house print down. Can we rent your house for 241 00:11:39,337 --> 00:11:42,817 Speaker 1: the next two years and take care of your mortgage 242 00:11:42,817 --> 00:11:44,617 Speaker 1: and everything like that. My wife and I said, okay, 243 00:11:44,737 --> 00:11:47,657 Speaker 1: look we're out of here. So we left and within 244 00:11:47,697 --> 00:11:50,097 Speaker 1: two years the house was sold. So we didn't have 245 00:11:50,177 --> 00:11:52,057 Speaker 1: to go back, and I wasn't planning anywhere because we 246 00:11:52,057 --> 00:11:54,897 Speaker 1: already bought a house here in Florida. So my wife 247 00:11:54,897 --> 00:11:57,737 Speaker 1: put out a positive frame of mind there and said, no, 248 00:11:57,817 --> 00:11:59,777 Speaker 1: the house is gonna sell, and she was right, it's sold. 249 00:12:00,017 --> 00:12:02,897 Speaker 1: It's just amazing to feel like for the first time 250 00:12:02,977 --> 00:12:05,377 Speaker 1: my vote matters in a meaningful way as a New Yorker. 251 00:12:05,457 --> 00:12:08,337 Speaker 1: I look, Lizelden came pretty close in the last election 252 00:12:08,377 --> 00:12:10,897 Speaker 1: for governor, not close enough, but he did a good 253 00:12:10,977 --> 00:12:13,737 Speaker 1: job at least pulling up some of the Republican congressmen 254 00:12:13,777 --> 00:12:15,817 Speaker 1: out in Long Island, and those are those ended up 255 00:12:15,857 --> 00:12:18,857 Speaker 1: being critical pickups, right for a pretty disappointing twenty twenty 256 00:12:18,857 --> 00:12:21,377 Speaker 1: two mid term. But to be down here in Florida 257 00:12:21,497 --> 00:12:26,497 Speaker 1: after Rhonda Santis with his effectively twenty point win and 258 00:12:26,657 --> 00:12:29,577 Speaker 1: the massive part you know, the registration in this state 259 00:12:29,977 --> 00:12:34,617 Speaker 1: from twenty eighteen. They just put out the latest numbers today, Kevin, 260 00:12:34,697 --> 00:12:40,537 Speaker 1: it was two hundred and fifty thousand Democrat advantage for registration, 261 00:12:40,617 --> 00:12:42,617 Speaker 1: So if they had a quarter of a million registered 262 00:12:42,657 --> 00:12:45,097 Speaker 1: voter or advantage in the state, people didn't realize that, 263 00:12:45,137 --> 00:12:47,497 Speaker 1: so it was it was technically a Democrat state. I 264 00:12:47,537 --> 00:12:50,097 Speaker 1: mean sometimes it would go red, but Democrats don't would 265 00:12:50,097 --> 00:12:52,417 Speaker 1: turn out in the same numbers. Now it is a 266 00:12:52,497 --> 00:12:57,417 Speaker 1: four hundred thousand plus R state. It is four hundred thousand. 267 00:12:57,417 --> 00:13:00,457 Speaker 1: You're talking about a six hundred and fifty thousand vote 268 00:13:00,577 --> 00:13:03,617 Speaker 1: shift over the course of just four years. So, I mean, 269 00:13:03,697 --> 00:13:06,577 Speaker 1: it's been remarkable that the success here. But you know, 270 00:13:06,577 --> 00:13:09,137 Speaker 1: it's funny because this is actually what the founders that 271 00:13:09,177 --> 00:13:11,377 Speaker 1: the way this was all set up, and how we 272 00:13:11,417 --> 00:13:13,817 Speaker 1: have states and places to go and you can see 273 00:13:13,857 --> 00:13:16,297 Speaker 1: what works and what doesn't. I try our mind, ablady. 274 00:13:16,377 --> 00:13:18,337 Speaker 1: This is the way it's supposed to be. You know, 275 00:13:18,377 --> 00:13:21,977 Speaker 1: if California, which is is a gift from God as 276 00:13:22,017 --> 00:13:25,217 Speaker 1: a state, right, I mean, the geography and the bountiful land, 277 00:13:26,017 --> 00:13:28,697 Speaker 1: if the commies like Newsom are going to destroy it, 278 00:13:28,777 --> 00:13:33,217 Speaker 1: people got to move elsewhere. Well, California's lost ten million people, 279 00:13:33,457 --> 00:13:36,897 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, five million people last ten years alone. When 280 00:13:36,897 --> 00:13:38,777 Speaker 1: I got Hercules, I got right of my place in 281 00:13:38,857 --> 00:13:42,217 Speaker 1: Santa Monica, California because even though it was gone ten 282 00:13:42,257 --> 00:13:44,617 Speaker 1: months a year, California still want to charge the state tax. 283 00:13:44,737 --> 00:13:47,337 Speaker 1: So I moved to Henderson, Nevada, outside of Vegas. When 284 00:13:47,337 --> 00:13:49,137 Speaker 1: I moved there. In ninety four there was seven hundred 285 00:13:49,137 --> 00:13:52,097 Speaker 1: thousand people. They got three million people now in that city. 286 00:13:52,457 --> 00:13:56,777 Speaker 1: It's crazy. And unfortunately all these idiots vote the same way. 287 00:13:56,857 --> 00:13:59,697 Speaker 1: They left California for the way they voted. They moved 288 00:13:59,737 --> 00:14:01,977 Speaker 1: to Nevada, and they're doing the same thing in Texas 289 00:14:01,977 --> 00:14:03,537 Speaker 1: trying to change it. They're doing the same things in 290 00:14:03,617 --> 00:14:07,017 Speaker 1: Tennessee and they come here as well. I've already destroyed Colorado, 291 00:14:07,057 --> 00:14:09,777 Speaker 1: I mean that state's gone, and Arizona. Really, you know, 292 00:14:09,897 --> 00:14:11,857 Speaker 1: we gotta get rid of this this mail in voting. 293 00:14:11,897 --> 00:14:14,097 Speaker 1: It's pretty obvious they're using it to cheat, and we 294 00:14:14,137 --> 00:14:15,977 Speaker 1: need to get rid of it. You get one vote, 295 00:14:15,977 --> 00:14:18,457 Speaker 1: you vote the day of the election, making a national holiday. 296 00:14:18,497 --> 00:14:20,777 Speaker 1: People have to go vote. They don't vote tough God 297 00:14:20,897 --> 00:14:23,497 Speaker 1: luck show an idea. There's nothing racist about that. We 298 00:14:23,537 --> 00:14:26,297 Speaker 1: can fix his problems so easily. But we got you know, 299 00:14:26,337 --> 00:14:28,177 Speaker 1: we have so many sheep in this country. They just 300 00:14:28,217 --> 00:14:31,537 Speaker 1: don't want to do anything about it. It's it's it's 301 00:14:31,657 --> 00:14:33,617 Speaker 1: it's bizarre to me. I can't figure it out. It 302 00:14:33,737 --> 00:14:35,777 Speaker 1: just blows me away that these people are willing to 303 00:14:35,817 --> 00:14:38,537 Speaker 1: have their lives totally led crazily great by a bigger, 304 00:14:38,577 --> 00:14:41,337 Speaker 1: bigger government. And I tell people all the time, our 305 00:14:41,377 --> 00:14:44,937 Speaker 1: government today is worse than the monarchy was two hundred 306 00:14:44,937 --> 00:14:47,817 Speaker 1: fifty years ago when we start the revolution war. They're 307 00:14:47,857 --> 00:14:50,657 Speaker 1: doing everything that the government over there was doing, but 308 00:14:50,857 --> 00:14:54,297 Speaker 1: bigger and worse in controlling our lives. And people just go, wow, 309 00:14:54,337 --> 00:14:56,377 Speaker 1: what can I do? Yeah? Well, you know, it's interesting 310 00:14:56,377 --> 00:14:59,297 Speaker 1: when you go back and read read about what it 311 00:14:59,337 --> 00:15:01,897 Speaker 1: was like and what the founders were upset about at 312 00:15:01,897 --> 00:15:08,297 Speaker 1: the time, taxes on things that really upset them, lack 313 00:15:08,337 --> 00:15:12,257 Speaker 1: of representation, and just the feeling that the votes here 314 00:15:12,737 --> 00:15:16,217 Speaker 1: for the burgesses for example in Virginia, right going back 315 00:15:16,217 --> 00:15:21,657 Speaker 1: to you know, the pre revolutionary colonies that back in 316 00:15:21,777 --> 00:15:24,817 Speaker 1: with the monarchy and back in England, it was it's 317 00:15:24,857 --> 00:15:27,497 Speaker 1: cute that the peasants over the over in the colony 318 00:15:27,577 --> 00:15:29,657 Speaker 1: think that they get to call the shots, but really 319 00:15:29,697 --> 00:15:33,217 Speaker 1: we actually call the shots, meaning we'll just disband their 320 00:15:33,337 --> 00:15:36,537 Speaker 1: House of Burgesses or their representation in the colony, whatever 321 00:15:36,577 --> 00:15:39,137 Speaker 1: it is they call it whenever it annoys us, and 322 00:15:39,177 --> 00:15:42,537 Speaker 1: if they play nicely, we'll let them come back. You know. 323 00:15:42,737 --> 00:15:46,457 Speaker 1: You see with COVID and what Democrats did in this country. 324 00:15:46,497 --> 00:15:48,057 Speaker 1: I mean, I refer to it as I refer to 325 00:15:48,097 --> 00:15:51,337 Speaker 1: them as communists. I think it's so funny they say, oh, communism, 326 00:15:51,337 --> 00:15:53,977 Speaker 1: we're not communists because communists wan't the same for everything. 327 00:15:53,977 --> 00:15:57,057 Speaker 1: It's like, no, Actually, communism is just a belief system 328 00:15:57,337 --> 00:16:01,777 Speaker 1: in using malcontents in society to seize power under false 329 00:16:01,857 --> 00:16:05,057 Speaker 1: revolutionary rhetoric and actually just have a new class of 330 00:16:05,057 --> 00:16:08,457 Speaker 1: elites oppressing everybody else under the false belief they're making 331 00:16:08,457 --> 00:16:12,297 Speaker 1: everybody equal. It's actually not that everyone's equal. I've been 332 00:16:12,337 --> 00:16:14,337 Speaker 1: a lot, went into a lot of Eastern Indian countries. 333 00:16:14,377 --> 00:16:18,737 Speaker 1: I've shot in Bratoslava and check in Romania, all those places. 334 00:16:18,857 --> 00:16:21,657 Speaker 1: All the money during that fifty years that you know 335 00:16:21,737 --> 00:16:24,297 Speaker 1: Germany was I mean that Russia was taken over everything, 336 00:16:24,457 --> 00:16:27,097 Speaker 1: All the money goes into government buildings, didn't help. They 337 00:16:27,097 --> 00:16:29,337 Speaker 1: didn't help the people at all. You know, they got there, 338 00:16:29,657 --> 00:16:32,457 Speaker 1: they got their silver and gold toilets, and it's it's 339 00:16:32,497 --> 00:16:35,337 Speaker 1: just it's so obvious. But you know you've heard the 340 00:16:35,377 --> 00:16:37,177 Speaker 1: same thing and people, well they just didn't do it 341 00:16:37,257 --> 00:16:38,777 Speaker 1: right last time. You know, we know how to make 342 00:16:38,817 --> 00:16:42,297 Speaker 1: socialism and communism work. And yeah, yeah, as you tear 343 00:16:42,377 --> 00:16:46,297 Speaker 1: down statues and rewrite history, because every country every country 344 00:16:46,777 --> 00:16:50,177 Speaker 1: has wonderful history. Only America has bad history. And you know, 345 00:16:50,337 --> 00:16:52,737 Speaker 1: I'm down here in South Florida, and I mean you're 346 00:16:52,777 --> 00:16:56,857 Speaker 1: not You're not far away. There are so many Venezuelans. 347 00:16:56,857 --> 00:16:58,857 Speaker 1: One of the things I love about about South flore 348 00:16:58,897 --> 00:17:02,737 Speaker 1: actually is is the Cuban population here and the Venezuelan 349 00:17:02,777 --> 00:17:10,137 Speaker 1: population here because they love America. They really appreciate this play, 350 00:17:10,457 --> 00:17:15,617 Speaker 1: They appreciate freedom. They do not trust socialist bullcrap promises 351 00:17:15,657 --> 00:17:18,297 Speaker 1: because they've seen I mean, Cuba was obviously a while ago, 352 00:17:18,337 --> 00:17:20,337 Speaker 1: and people have been here for a couple of generations now. 353 00:17:20,657 --> 00:17:24,457 Speaker 1: But the Venezualens they're arriving and they still have fresh 354 00:17:24,497 --> 00:17:28,457 Speaker 1: stories about you know, my family's business was just seized 355 00:17:28,497 --> 00:17:31,297 Speaker 1: by government thugs who said we're redistributing this to the people. 356 00:17:31,297 --> 00:17:33,297 Speaker 1: By the way, of course, it never gets to the people. 357 00:17:33,617 --> 00:17:36,857 Speaker 1: It's the local commissar decides he's gonna divvy up whatever 358 00:17:36,857 --> 00:17:38,777 Speaker 1: they have on the shelves, and they just destroy the business, 359 00:17:38,817 --> 00:17:41,617 Speaker 1: they seize the assets. This is going on, and it's 360 00:17:41,617 --> 00:17:44,457 Speaker 1: all the name of social justice. Kevin, I mean, I 361 00:17:44,537 --> 00:17:47,177 Speaker 1: do think that more people the country should know that 362 00:17:47,297 --> 00:17:50,057 Speaker 1: a very wealthy by Latin American standards. Country has been 363 00:17:50,057 --> 00:17:55,177 Speaker 1: destroyed by people claiming they're gonna make everybody's everything free. 364 00:17:54,937 --> 00:17:57,177 Speaker 1: Weren't they They were the wealthiest country in the Southern 365 00:17:57,257 --> 00:17:59,977 Speaker 1: Hemisphere for a long time, that's right, the largest proven 366 00:18:00,017 --> 00:18:03,257 Speaker 1: oil reserves in the world, larger actually than even Saudi Arabia, 367 00:18:03,297 --> 00:18:07,697 Speaker 1: although they're oils more expensive to refine. You know, we 368 00:18:07,737 --> 00:18:09,897 Speaker 1: need to take all of venezuds here because when my 369 00:18:10,137 --> 00:18:12,937 Speaker 1: son went to buy a car, the guy selling car 370 00:18:13,017 --> 00:18:14,897 Speaker 1: was a Venezuela. They've been here about a year now, 371 00:18:15,137 --> 00:18:17,017 Speaker 1: and we asked him about his country. He told us 372 00:18:17,057 --> 00:18:19,937 Speaker 1: how horrible it was, and I said, we need our government, 373 00:18:20,017 --> 00:18:22,977 Speaker 1: like DeSantis needs to send these people into high schools, 374 00:18:23,057 --> 00:18:26,377 Speaker 1: in junior high schools. Absolutely, tudes, that's these are the 375 00:18:26,377 --> 00:18:28,937 Speaker 1: people that need to go out to say I lived it, 376 00:18:29,017 --> 00:18:30,857 Speaker 1: I know what it's like. I mean, I keep saying, 377 00:18:30,857 --> 00:18:33,097 Speaker 1: if you want your utopia, then moved to Venezuela, moved 378 00:18:33,097 --> 00:18:36,617 Speaker 1: to North Korea, I want. I mean, by the way, 379 00:18:36,657 --> 00:18:38,377 Speaker 1: I love that idea, and really I really do think 380 00:18:38,377 --> 00:18:40,057 Speaker 1: that that and you know, I know some of the 381 00:18:40,537 --> 00:18:42,737 Speaker 1: some of the Desantist team folks, I think that's something 382 00:18:42,737 --> 00:18:45,897 Speaker 1: we could maybe get going here because it's even for 383 00:18:46,017 --> 00:18:52,457 Speaker 1: the most the most hardcore, blue haired, sad malcontent, you know, 384 00:18:52,617 --> 00:18:56,697 Speaker 1: leftist from from you know, Oberlin or Berkeley or Brown 385 00:18:56,857 --> 00:19:00,537 Speaker 1: University or wherever, to stare in the eyes of somebody 386 00:19:00,817 --> 00:19:04,337 Speaker 1: who had to truly flee a real asylum seeker from 387 00:19:04,337 --> 00:19:07,737 Speaker 1: say Venezuela, because their family were enemies of the regime 388 00:19:07,737 --> 00:19:10,257 Speaker 1: and they were entirely dispossessed and they were free of 389 00:19:10,337 --> 00:19:14,017 Speaker 1: starving to death because people who wanted to make everything 390 00:19:14,177 --> 00:19:17,697 Speaker 1: social justice based ruined everything. I think it's hard for 391 00:19:17,737 --> 00:19:19,977 Speaker 1: those leftists, you know, for you and me, they go, oh, 392 00:19:20,097 --> 00:19:22,417 Speaker 1: privileged white males, and you know, they just ignore it 393 00:19:22,457 --> 00:19:25,937 Speaker 1: and they won't engage intellectually. But for people who are 394 00:19:26,017 --> 00:19:30,897 Speaker 1: who are true refugees from socialist dictatorship in Venezuela, I 395 00:19:30,937 --> 00:19:32,857 Speaker 1: think that's a compelling message they have to share. I 396 00:19:32,857 --> 00:19:35,777 Speaker 1: think more people should hear it. I laughed, and I said, 397 00:19:35,777 --> 00:19:38,137 Speaker 1: provide white people. I'm the fourth of five kids. My 398 00:19:38,257 --> 00:19:40,897 Speaker 1: dad was a school teacher. I'm a school teacher's salary, 399 00:19:40,977 --> 00:19:43,537 Speaker 1: public schools. My clothes are hand me down to my 400 00:19:43,577 --> 00:19:46,297 Speaker 1: older brothers. We have powdered milk and powdered eggs, but 401 00:19:46,337 --> 00:19:48,417 Speaker 1: I never fell without I didn't. I knew I'm very 402 00:19:48,417 --> 00:19:50,697 Speaker 1: loving parents. I knew there were rich people in my 403 00:19:50,737 --> 00:19:53,297 Speaker 1: school and what that did and motivated me. I mean, 404 00:19:53,337 --> 00:19:55,297 Speaker 1: I used to caddy at this private country club when 405 00:19:55,337 --> 00:19:56,977 Speaker 1: I was in college, and I asked these guys, how 406 00:19:56,977 --> 00:19:59,537 Speaker 1: did you become successful? And they also do the same thing. Oh, 407 00:19:59,577 --> 00:20:02,337 Speaker 1: I failed, and then I failed again. Then I failed 408 00:20:02,337 --> 00:20:04,377 Speaker 1: for about ten more years. But they didn't give up. 409 00:20:04,417 --> 00:20:07,297 Speaker 1: Today's society, especially if you're under thirty years old. These 410 00:20:07,297 --> 00:20:09,257 Speaker 1: guys they failed once and it's year fall and God, 411 00:20:09,257 --> 00:20:12,097 Speaker 1: they don't believe in fault. It's everybody's fault. So please 412 00:20:12,097 --> 00:20:14,137 Speaker 1: take care of me. I'll work for George Sorrows and 413 00:20:14,137 --> 00:20:17,097 Speaker 1: collect unemployment off your tax dollars. I mean, I know 414 00:20:17,177 --> 00:20:20,297 Speaker 1: I could. I could probably do a psychoanalysis of every 415 00:20:20,337 --> 00:20:23,817 Speaker 1: anti antifa member, these guys that are against fascism, even 416 00:20:23,857 --> 00:20:28,057 Speaker 1: though they're the fascist. So it's it's it's crazy that 417 00:20:28,097 --> 00:20:29,737 Speaker 1: we're letting these people do what they're doing, and now 418 00:20:29,777 --> 00:20:32,297 Speaker 1: they're doing again up in Georgia right now, what's that about? 419 00:20:32,697 --> 00:20:35,977 Speaker 1: Send people in and take these guys down, just arrest them. 420 00:20:35,977 --> 00:20:37,577 Speaker 1: But you can do anything in this country now. I'm 421 00:20:37,617 --> 00:20:41,177 Speaker 1: not get arrested, and look what's happening. And what five 422 00:20:41,217 --> 00:20:43,457 Speaker 1: million people across the boarder didn't Trump let like one 423 00:20:43,497 --> 00:20:47,537 Speaker 1: point four million in four years. The numbers, the numbers, 424 00:20:48,137 --> 00:20:50,617 Speaker 1: the number is staggering. And you may have actually seen 425 00:20:51,097 --> 00:20:54,217 Speaker 1: recently in New York the people who are claiming to 426 00:20:54,297 --> 00:20:56,537 Speaker 1: be and I always think this is so important, claiming 427 00:20:56,577 --> 00:20:59,897 Speaker 1: to be asylum seekers. Remember, you know people from Venezuela 428 00:20:59,937 --> 00:21:01,897 Speaker 1: who face torture and murder at the hands of the 429 00:21:01,937 --> 00:21:04,937 Speaker 1: regime for being that's an asylum seeker. People that are 430 00:21:04,977 --> 00:21:06,937 Speaker 1: coming from they come from one hundred and sixty countries. 431 00:21:06,977 --> 00:21:08,417 Speaker 1: They're coming from all over the world. A lot of 432 00:21:08,417 --> 00:21:10,977 Speaker 1: them are coming from Central America in countries where they 433 00:21:11,017 --> 00:21:12,857 Speaker 1: just have a crappy economy. I mean, I get it, 434 00:21:12,937 --> 00:21:14,977 Speaker 1: but that's not the way we have assist We don't 435 00:21:14,977 --> 00:21:16,857 Speaker 1: have the system set up to just take anybody once 436 00:21:16,897 --> 00:21:19,257 Speaker 1: a better economy. But Kevin, they're in a four star 437 00:21:19,337 --> 00:21:22,057 Speaker 1: hotel in Midtown Manhattan. They were told to move to 438 00:21:22,137 --> 00:21:27,177 Speaker 1: a government facility that is heated, free food, free healthcare, everything. 439 00:21:27,297 --> 00:21:29,697 Speaker 1: But it is not in Midtown Manhattan in a four 440 00:21:29,697 --> 00:21:33,097 Speaker 1: star hotel. It's like a big warehouse that's been converted 441 00:21:33,137 --> 00:21:37,537 Speaker 1: into being housing for and they're protesting outside saying we 442 00:21:37,577 --> 00:21:40,737 Speaker 1: refuse to go. We're staying in the four star hotel 443 00:21:40,777 --> 00:21:44,937 Speaker 1: at taxpayer expense. Yeah, that's not what refugees or asylum 444 00:21:44,977 --> 00:21:47,897 Speaker 1: seekers same thing, basically. I mean, refugees are just people 445 00:21:47,897 --> 00:21:52,817 Speaker 1: that apply abroad. Meanwhile, a buddy of mine who's engaged 446 00:21:52,857 --> 00:21:55,697 Speaker 1: to a Canadian woman, she tried to get into the 447 00:21:55,697 --> 00:21:57,777 Speaker 1: country last week to meet up with us to watch 448 00:21:57,817 --> 00:21:59,337 Speaker 1: the movie.

There are some folks 535 00:25:45,657 --> 00:25:47,537 Speaker 1: that are starting to get into this game. Do we 536 00:25:47,657 --> 00:25:49,777 Speaker 1: just do we not have the infrastructure. We don't have that, 537 00:25:49,817 --> 00:25:51,857 Speaker 1: we can't get the cash together. People are too scared. 538 00:25:51,897 --> 00:25:53,617 Speaker 1: To me. I'm not even talking about making a like 539 00:25:53,697 --> 00:25:56,857 Speaker 1: Reagan is the Greatest President ever? Movie? Right, just good guys, 540 00:25:56,897 --> 00:26:01,257 Speaker 1: bad guys, heroism, truth, justice, love, liberty. Movies with those 541 00:26:01,337 --> 00:26:05,937 Speaker 1: themes that aren't rooted in you know, intersectional uh you know, 542 00:26:06,177 --> 00:26:09,377 Speaker 1: pan genderism or whatever. Why is it so hard to 543 00:26:09,377 --> 00:26:12,257 Speaker 1: get that stuff done on I think there's more out 544 00:26:12,377 --> 00:26:14,337 Speaker 1: than you realize. And speaking of Reagan, I did the 545 00:26:14,377 --> 00:26:16,457 Speaker 1: Reagan movie that's gonna come out later this year. Dennis 546 00:26:16,537 --> 00:26:18,897 Speaker 1: Quaid plays Reagan. I placed fast in it. Are you 547 00:26:18,937 --> 00:26:21,577 Speaker 1: say movies done in the can? That's I didn't even 548 00:26:21,617 --> 00:26:24,417 Speaker 1: know that. That's amazing? Well see but that that's obviously 549 00:26:24,817 --> 00:26:26,617 Speaker 1: that's I'm sure it's gonna be great. But that's a polino, 550 00:26:26,737 --> 00:26:28,577 Speaker 1: that's a political it's Reagan, you know what I mean. 551 00:26:28,617 --> 00:26:30,617 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna see it. I'm sure it's fantastic. But 552 00:26:30,777 --> 00:26:33,297 Speaker 1: denis quack. But look, is Dennis Quaid a one of us? 553 00:26:34,697 --> 00:26:38,057 Speaker 1: He's uh. I think he's more conservative than he'll admit to. 554 00:26:38,257 --> 00:26:40,577 Speaker 1: I mean, okay, I'll take that. I'll take I'll take 555 00:26:40,617 --> 00:26:43,497 Speaker 1: even if they're not at this point, Kevin, if they're 556 00:26:43,497 --> 00:26:46,017 Speaker 1: not announcing their pronouns, I feel like I can work 557 00:26:46,057 --> 00:26:50,417 Speaker 1: with that. He's okay, he's okay. Um, But no, but 558 00:26:50,537 --> 00:26:52,777 Speaker 1: I you know, for me, you've started probably about ten 559 00:26:52,737 --> 00:26:54,577 Speaker 1: to eleven years ago. I got booted out, I got 560 00:26:54,577 --> 00:26:57,777 Speaker 1: blackballed from from from Hollywood. My am manager and agent 561 00:26:57,777 --> 00:26:59,457 Speaker 1: many years that we can't work here anymore. And I 562 00:26:59,537 --> 00:27:02,217 Speaker 1: was like, Wow, you guys have one stream of intolerance. 563 00:27:02,257 --> 00:27:04,777 Speaker 1: And it was really just because I'm a conservative. It 564 00:27:04,857 --> 00:27:07,177 Speaker 1: was simple as that it's actually being worse. It's being 565 00:27:07,217 --> 00:27:09,857 Speaker 1: it's worth being a Christian in Hollywood, and it's being conservative. 566 00:27:09,897 --> 00:27:13,057 Speaker 1: But they're both bad things. And I still started Soorbo 567 00:27:13,097 --> 00:27:15,137 Speaker 1: Studios and go to Soorbo Studios dot com, and I 568 00:27:15,177 --> 00:27:17,577 Speaker 1: started my wife, and I started doing just a lot 569 00:27:17,737 --> 00:27:20,897 Speaker 1: other movies that have more positive things. We've done God's 570 00:27:20,897 --> 00:27:23,137 Speaker 1: Not Dead, What If Let to Be Light, Soul Surfer, 571 00:27:23,857 --> 00:27:28,057 Speaker 1: my latest movie, Left Behind Miracles Texas. I mean, I've 572 00:27:28,097 --> 00:27:29,737 Speaker 1: been doing a lot of movies a lot and also 573 00:27:29,777 --> 00:27:32,657 Speaker 1: a lot of documentaries that are more family friendly. I 574 00:27:32,697 --> 00:27:35,177 Speaker 1: get stopped. It used to be you being a Hercules fan. 575 00:27:35,217 --> 00:27:37,057 Speaker 1: I used to stop for all the time because the 576 00:27:37,057 --> 00:27:40,377 Speaker 1: Hercules or Andromeda, my second series that Gene Ronberry created. 577 00:27:40,777 --> 00:27:44,257 Speaker 1: But by far people stop me in out airports, hotel 578 00:27:44,297 --> 00:27:46,977 Speaker 1: lobbies and say, I love the movies are doing. We 579 00:27:47,057 --> 00:27:49,457 Speaker 1: know Hollywood attacks you and everybody else out there that 580 00:27:49,537 --> 00:27:52,217 Speaker 1: creepos are attacking you, but keep making the movies that 581 00:27:52,257 --> 00:27:55,457 Speaker 1: you're making because we're behind you. And so I'm gonna 582 00:27:55,497 --> 00:27:57,537 Speaker 1: keep making movies that have a positive message that have 583 00:27:57,617 --> 00:28:01,457 Speaker 1: a lot of hope, laughter, redemption, faith, whatever, and keep 584 00:28:01,497 --> 00:28:06,577 Speaker 1: doing movies that eighty million homes want that Hollywood won't do. Yeah. 585 00:28:06,617 --> 00:28:10,337 Speaker 1: You know, well, look, I think it's more conservative. I 586 00:28:10,697 --> 00:28:14,017 Speaker 1: believe that there's been an awakening Kevin where this notion 587 00:28:14,137 --> 00:28:17,777 Speaker 1: of the neutral space and oh it's it's not just 588 00:28:17,817 --> 00:28:19,657 Speaker 1: the profit motive that drives the other side. We need 589 00:28:19,657 --> 00:28:21,417 Speaker 1: to get rid of that because I think there there 590 00:28:21,577 --> 00:28:23,497 Speaker 1: was there and I know there was a thinking among 591 00:28:23,537 --> 00:28:25,577 Speaker 1: a lot of people on the right. Oh well maybe 592 00:28:25,577 --> 00:28:28,017 Speaker 1: they just don't think there's money to be made it. No, no, no, 593 00:28:28,257 --> 00:28:30,577 Speaker 1: they know there's money to be made. Money, Yeah, they 594 00:28:30,617 --> 00:28:31,897 Speaker 1: know there's money to be made. I mean, you know, 595 00:28:32,017 --> 00:28:33,897 Speaker 1: you look at you look at the Passion of the Christ. 596 00:28:34,297 --> 00:28:35,857 Speaker 1: You know there have been these movies at the left 597 00:28:35,857 --> 00:28:38,337 Speaker 1: hated and it got so upset about and they've done 598 00:28:38,377 --> 00:28:42,097 Speaker 1: incredibly well despite that. Um. By the way, with I 599 00:28:42,097 --> 00:28:43,897 Speaker 1: want to tell you this with God is not Dead. 600 00:28:43,937 --> 00:28:47,897 Speaker 1: I remember, I remember it. It was. It was an 601 00:28:47,937 --> 00:28:50,777 Speaker 1: amazing thing reading and I can't I think it might 602 00:28:50,777 --> 00:28:52,497 Speaker 1: have been in slat or something, but reading a review 603 00:28:52,897 --> 00:28:56,657 Speaker 1: of that movie that made it so clear the reviewer 604 00:28:57,537 --> 00:29:00,817 Speaker 1: it is like you shook him to his satanic soul. 605 00:29:01,097 --> 00:29:04,297 Speaker 1: The reviewer, I've never seen so much hatred about a movie. 606 00:29:04,337 --> 00:29:08,177 Speaker 1: That's you know why, it's there's no there's nothing to hate. 607 00:29:08,217 --> 00:29:10,217 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, whether you think it's you know, 608 00:29:10,217 --> 00:29:12,417 Speaker 1: The Godfather Part two or not, I leave to the viewer. 609 00:29:12,457 --> 00:29:14,257 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people loved it, but the 610 00:29:14,417 --> 00:29:18,537 Speaker 1: but the it was so clear the agenda of the 611 00:29:18,577 --> 00:29:22,097 Speaker 1: reviewer was, you know, basically saying it's the worst movie 612 00:29:22,097 --> 00:29:25,617 Speaker 1: he's ever seen. And I think that showed Kevin that 613 00:29:25,657 --> 00:29:29,817 Speaker 1: you struck a nerve, you upset and two idealogues. You 614 00:29:30,097 --> 00:29:32,897 Speaker 1: upset them with some of these movies. They take it 615 00:29:33,017 --> 00:29:36,977 Speaker 1: personally your movies. Isn't it amazing that people get upset 616 00:29:36,977 --> 00:29:40,337 Speaker 1: about something they don't believe in? Yeah, so angry about 617 00:29:40,377 --> 00:29:42,057 Speaker 1: a guy they don't believe That two million dollars movie 618 00:29:42,097 --> 00:29:44,577 Speaker 1: made one hundred and forty million bucks. Pretty good return 619 00:29:44,657 --> 00:29:48,377 Speaker 1: on two million, two million dollars investment. And uh, it's 620 00:29:48,417 --> 00:29:50,057 Speaker 1: it's it's I don't know. I did a movie called 621 00:29:50,097 --> 00:29:52,457 Speaker 1: Let the Light that I directed and my wife wrote 622 00:29:52,497 --> 00:29:55,097 Speaker 1: it along with Dan Gordon, who's an Oscar writer on 623 00:29:55,217 --> 00:29:58,097 Speaker 1: Number the Writer. It was funded by Sean Hannity. It 624 00:29:58,097 --> 00:30:00,297 Speaker 1: had like a four month running. Theaters did very well 625 00:30:00,337 --> 00:30:03,977 Speaker 1: opening weekend. Here's a Here's a three million dollar movie 626 00:30:04,057 --> 00:30:07,897 Speaker 1: up against a three hundred million dollars Thor Ragnarok movie. 627 00:30:07,937 --> 00:30:11,417 Speaker 1: Speaking of Thor, and we opened number two per screen average. 628 00:30:11,737 --> 00:30:14,017 Speaker 1: I get a call from Netflix Monday after that opening 629 00:30:14,057 --> 00:30:16,177 Speaker 1: weekend saying, hey, we know that you got to foot, 630 00:30:16,337 --> 00:30:19,097 Speaker 1: you know, solid foot in this door of this inspirational world. 631 00:30:19,217 --> 00:30:21,857 Speaker 1: We want to open inspiration division here at Netflix. Well, 632 00:30:21,857 --> 00:30:23,377 Speaker 1: they had a couple of meetings with them over the 633 00:30:23,377 --> 00:30:26,897 Speaker 1: next couple of months, and they ultimately didn't do really anything, 634 00:30:27,457 --> 00:30:29,777 Speaker 1: And it was just weird to me because their ideology 635 00:30:29,857 --> 00:30:33,657 Speaker 1: is so geared and so so forced upon them. Because 636 00:30:33,697 --> 00:30:35,417 Speaker 1: I know there are people in that room that would 637 00:30:35,457 --> 00:30:37,217 Speaker 1: have liked to work with me. I know that because 638 00:30:37,217 --> 00:30:39,457 Speaker 1: that I worked. There's probably about ten people in the room. 639 00:30:39,897 --> 00:30:42,377 Speaker 1: But they got to be quiet, they got to tow 640 00:30:42,497 --> 00:30:44,817 Speaker 1: the line of the agenda. And I just said, you 641 00:30:44,897 --> 00:30:47,337 Speaker 1: got eighty million homes that want this, but your ideology 642 00:30:47,377 --> 00:30:50,377 Speaker 1: is so against people that are Christians. Why don't you 643 00:30:50,417 --> 00:30:52,977 Speaker 1: just let let's do the movies I got and TV 644 00:30:53,057 --> 00:30:56,057 Speaker 1: shows I got, I got wonderful scripts. You can laugh 645 00:30:56,097 --> 00:30:58,657 Speaker 1: all the way to the bank because they can scream 646 00:30:58,697 --> 00:31:02,257 Speaker 1: socialism only one. But let's face it, they're capitalists. They're 647 00:31:02,297 --> 00:31:04,697 Speaker 1: in the business to make money and keep their stockholders happy. 648 00:31:04,737 --> 00:31:07,337 Speaker 1: But they're going to play that game and pretend that that, 649 00:31:07,457 --> 00:31:11,297 Speaker 1: oh no, we can't do that, because that's that's that's misinformation. 650 00:31:11,817 --> 00:31:15,017 Speaker 1: So I'll tell I'll tell you. Kevin m a friend 651 00:31:15,017 --> 00:31:18,017 Speaker 1: of mine out in LA is one of these secret 652 00:31:18,097 --> 00:31:21,337 Speaker 1: secret conservatives for one of the very very big studios's. 653 00:31:21,417 --> 00:31:23,697 Speaker 1: He's an attorney, so he's not you know, he's not 654 00:31:23,777 --> 00:31:25,537 Speaker 1: involved in the production and stuff, but so he sees 655 00:31:25,577 --> 00:31:27,777 Speaker 1: all the deals, all the agreements, and he's often in 656 00:31:27,817 --> 00:31:30,897 Speaker 1: the room with the people who are green lighting these things. 657 00:31:30,977 --> 00:31:32,857 Speaker 1: And of course I wanted to ask him about this, 658 00:31:32,937 --> 00:31:35,377 Speaker 1: right you know, I got the opportunity to sit down 659 00:31:35,377 --> 00:31:37,217 Speaker 1: with them in la and I was like, so, explaining 660 00:31:37,217 --> 00:31:38,657 Speaker 1: to me how this really goes? He goes, well, first 661 00:31:38,657 --> 00:31:41,857 Speaker 1: of all, you have to understand that the movie industry 662 00:31:41,897 --> 00:31:46,817 Speaker 1: now isn't just dominated by idealogues but by identity politics, 663 00:31:46,857 --> 00:31:51,417 Speaker 1: whereby the people who are making a lot of these 664 00:31:51,417 --> 00:31:56,817 Speaker 1: decisions now are single, child single, unmarried, childless women in 665 00:31:56,857 --> 00:32:01,577 Speaker 1: their fifties people from marginalized groups and people for whom 666 00:32:01,577 --> 00:32:04,977 Speaker 1: it feels deeply personal. However, you know it may be 667 00:32:04,977 --> 00:32:08,217 Speaker 1: in that into very personal that you know, whether it's 668 00:32:08,217 --> 00:32:10,937 Speaker 1: their their lifestyle or their decisions, or you know, some 669 00:32:10,977 --> 00:32:13,537 Speaker 1: aspects of their identity they feel is marginalized, whatever that 670 00:32:13,537 --> 00:32:15,017 Speaker 1: means to them. He says, you have toson. That's a 671 00:32:15,057 --> 00:32:16,977 Speaker 1: big piece of it, says, But the other piece of 672 00:32:17,017 --> 00:32:19,857 Speaker 1: it is that even for the guys and girls, men 673 00:32:19,857 --> 00:32:22,937 Speaker 1: and women who are trying to run these studios and 674 00:32:23,057 --> 00:32:25,497 Speaker 1: you know by studios now obviously Netflix and whatever, who 675 00:32:25,537 --> 00:32:28,297 Speaker 1: want to make money, you have to remember they want 676 00:32:28,297 --> 00:32:32,217 Speaker 1: to make money meeting they themselves. So they don't want 677 00:32:32,217 --> 00:32:35,657 Speaker 1: to be in a position where the Bolsheviks at you know, 678 00:32:35,937 --> 00:32:38,777 Speaker 1: Universal or whatever. Now, certainly this are true at Netflix 679 00:32:38,857 --> 00:32:42,017 Speaker 1: Content or Amazon Content decide to push out. If you're 680 00:32:42,057 --> 00:32:44,697 Speaker 1: the head of content or senior VP of development at 681 00:32:44,697 --> 00:32:46,937 Speaker 1: one of these places, you don't want to target on 682 00:32:46,977 --> 00:32:49,057 Speaker 1: your back. Right. So that they explained to me that 683 00:32:49,097 --> 00:32:52,137 Speaker 1: this factors into the decision making, that people are trying 684 00:32:52,177 --> 00:32:56,337 Speaker 1: to keep their jobs within the machinery, and that means 685 00:32:56,337 --> 00:32:58,937 Speaker 1: that they're not necessarily making the they're making decisions not 686 00:32:58,977 --> 00:33:01,257 Speaker 1: just based on what would make them money for the 687 00:33:01,297 --> 00:33:04,097 Speaker 1: overall enterprise, but what will keep them from being the 688 00:33:04,137 --> 00:33:06,417 Speaker 1: target of the woke and getting them fired. Right, So 689 00:33:06,457 --> 00:33:10,977 Speaker 1: it's kind of an more individualized issue the woke world 690 00:33:10,977 --> 00:33:14,097 Speaker 1: a cancel culture. I was the first victim of cancel culture, 691 00:33:14,137 --> 00:33:16,217 Speaker 1: I think, as a Hollywood ten eleven years ago. But 692 00:33:17,337 --> 00:33:19,137 Speaker 1: I think people are getting tired of it. I'm getting 693 00:33:19,177 --> 00:33:20,977 Speaker 1: tired of it. You're tired of it. I mean, everybody's 694 00:33:21,897 --> 00:33:26,017 Speaker 1: apparently these woke people have led amazingly perfect lives and 695 00:33:26,057 --> 00:33:28,057 Speaker 1: they have nothing to be ashamed of for their past, 696 00:33:28,257 --> 00:33:30,777 Speaker 1: but they're gonna go after you know, people are gonna 697 00:33:30,777 --> 00:33:32,897 Speaker 1: put in the Supreme Court if they flirted with the 698 00:33:32,897 --> 00:33:35,137 Speaker 1: girl back in college thirty five years ago. We're gonna 699 00:33:35,177 --> 00:33:37,537 Speaker 1: talk about that. I mean, it's just it's so silly 700 00:33:37,577 --> 00:33:39,857 Speaker 1: what we're doing right now, and people, I think people 701 00:33:39,857 --> 00:33:42,257 Speaker 1: are sick of it. If we gave you one hundred 702 00:33:42,257 --> 00:33:44,137 Speaker 1: million dollars to make a movie, Kevin, I mean to 703 00:33:44,457 --> 00:33:46,457 Speaker 1: your point, yes, God is not to add two million 704 00:33:46,497 --> 00:33:49,577 Speaker 1: to one hundred and forty million. So clearly, you know, 705 00:33:49,697 --> 00:33:52,217 Speaker 1: good content and content people want can win out. But 706 00:33:52,297 --> 00:33:54,457 Speaker 1: let's say we gave you like one hundred million dollars 707 00:33:54,457 --> 00:33:57,177 Speaker 1: to me, is there a project that you know you 708 00:33:57,217 --> 00:33:59,337 Speaker 1: would want to do, like if you if you had 709 00:33:59,377 --> 00:34:01,377 Speaker 1: the budget to go big with it. Is there a 710 00:34:01,457 --> 00:34:04,417 Speaker 1: story or something in mind? You're you're giving me an 711 00:34:04,457 --> 00:34:06,737 Speaker 1: awfully big budget. But I mean with that one hundred 712 00:34:06,737 --> 00:34:10,537 Speaker 1: million dollars, I would make probably twenty five really good movies, 713 00:34:10,617 --> 00:34:12,977 Speaker 1: and twenty for sure because I want to carry over 714 00:34:13,057 --> 00:34:15,737 Speaker 1: some of that into P and A in advertising. But 715 00:34:15,857 --> 00:34:18,377 Speaker 1: I could make a lot. I've got the script, trust me. 716 00:34:18,617 --> 00:34:21,897 Speaker 1: So you've got great movies already stacked up. That five 717 00:34:21,937 --> 00:34:25,377 Speaker 1: million a movie would get it there? Oh yeah, oh yeah. 718 00:34:25,417 --> 00:34:27,137 Speaker 1: My movies are in the three or four million range. 719 00:34:27,137 --> 00:34:30,017 Speaker 1: That's catering budget. And Pirates of the Caribbean. Yeah, those 720 00:34:30,057 --> 00:34:33,377 Speaker 1: are three hundred million dollars movies. You mentioned Yellowstone, Um 721 00:34:34,177 --> 00:34:37,937 Speaker 1: Neil McDonough as the actor in my movie Left Behind, Rising, 722 00:34:37,977 --> 00:34:40,417 Speaker 1: the anti Chriser. Now, when Neil was in season four, 723 00:34:40,737 --> 00:34:43,737 Speaker 1: the last season, well, he's he's got a scripty gaming 724 00:34:43,777 --> 00:34:46,897 Speaker 1: a western that's unbelievable, and it's the it's in the 725 00:34:47,017 --> 00:34:49,297 Speaker 1: violence range of Yellowstone, but it's set in the eighteen 726 00:34:49,377 --> 00:34:52,417 Speaker 1: sixties and it's a can Enables story, so there is 727 00:34:52,457 --> 00:34:55,817 Speaker 1: a faith element to it, but the violence is still 728 00:34:55,817 --> 00:34:57,657 Speaker 1: there because I don't want to do movies that preach 729 00:34:57,697 --> 00:34:59,017 Speaker 1: for the choir I want. I want to do movies 730 00:34:59,017 --> 00:35:00,577 Speaker 1: that people want to come in to see, but the 731 00:35:00,577 --> 00:35:03,017 Speaker 1: message is still going to sneak in there. That's about 732 00:35:03,217 --> 00:35:05,697 Speaker 1: you know, being positive and morality and things like that, 733 00:35:05,737 --> 00:35:08,297 Speaker 1: because Hollywood doesn't want to do that. Nothing but the 734 00:35:08,337 --> 00:35:10,577 Speaker 1: anger and violence. I want to take a moment, take 735 00:35:10,617 --> 00:35:13,217 Speaker 1: a pause for a second.

What Hollywood has been doing since I 758 00:36:16,857 --> 00:36:19,417 Speaker 1: was a little kid, is you know, pushing you know, 759 00:36:19,537 --> 00:36:22,617 Speaker 1: violence and lots of nudity to get people to watch, 760 00:36:22,697 --> 00:36:24,617 Speaker 1: you know, sort of hit that lizard part of the brain. 761 00:36:25,217 --> 00:36:31,817 Speaker 1: And then also annihilism, anti god, anti traditionalism, anti anti heroism, 762 00:36:31,897 --> 00:36:36,177 Speaker 1: and even even the big budget Hollywood movies that used 763 00:36:36,177 --> 00:36:38,377 Speaker 1: to be made, there were good guys and bad guys. 764 00:36:38,417 --> 00:36:40,897 Speaker 1: There was a clear morality. I mean now it's like 765 00:36:40,897 --> 00:36:42,777 Speaker 1: when the Oscars come out every year, everyone just sort 766 00:36:42,777 --> 00:36:44,857 Speaker 1: of laughs, we go, what are these movies that we're 767 00:36:44,857 --> 00:36:48,657 Speaker 1: supposed to Like, no one's seen these things well, and 768 00:36:48,737 --> 00:36:51,257 Speaker 1: their ratings for that and the Oscars and the Golden Globes, 769 00:36:51,297 --> 00:36:53,577 Speaker 1: they go down every year. But I don't think Hollywood cares. 770 00:36:53,617 --> 00:36:55,737 Speaker 1: I think they're all they like the path themselves on 771 00:36:55,777 --> 00:36:58,457 Speaker 1: the back, and it's just a party for themselves. But 772 00:36:58,537 --> 00:37:00,657 Speaker 1: their ratings are tanking more and more and more people 773 00:37:00,697 --> 00:37:02,777 Speaker 1: are saying enough, I don't need to see this crap anymore. 774 00:37:02,857 --> 00:37:05,177 Speaker 1: You ever worked, because it used to be a big thing. 775 00:37:05,537 --> 00:37:07,377 Speaker 1: You ever worked at? Jim Caviezo, by the way, I 776 00:37:07,417 --> 00:37:09,457 Speaker 1: know he did something with denisht SUSA because he came 777 00:37:09,457 --> 00:37:11,377 Speaker 1: on my show. You guys ever worked? I think Jim's 778 00:37:11,417 --> 00:37:14,177 Speaker 1: a great actor. Jim. Jim and I have known each 779 00:37:14,217 --> 00:37:16,217 Speaker 1: other for oh my gosh, thirty years. We had the 780 00:37:16,257 --> 00:37:19,177 Speaker 1: same manager for many many years. He lived in the 781 00:37:19,217 --> 00:37:22,177 Speaker 1: same area I didn't, in California, Westlake Village Styles in 782 00:37:22,257 --> 00:37:24,737 Speaker 1: Oaks Harey. He still lives out in that area. Um, 783 00:37:25,177 --> 00:37:27,817 Speaker 1: but uh, you know, I don't see him that often anymore. 784 00:37:27,817 --> 00:37:30,097 Speaker 1: I did have a text message from just like just 785 00:37:30,137 --> 00:37:32,337 Speaker 1: a week ago actually speaking of it. But you know, 786 00:37:32,377 --> 00:37:34,337 Speaker 1: we know each other, but we're not like buddy buddies 787 00:37:34,377 --> 00:37:35,737 Speaker 1: to hang out. But well, you got to tell him 788 00:37:35,737 --> 00:37:37,697 Speaker 1: about sex and asked about him and that you guys 789 00:37:37,697 --> 00:37:39,257 Speaker 1: got to do a great movie together now. And then 790 00:37:39,257 --> 00:37:41,017 Speaker 1: I get invited to the premiere with my soon to 791 00:37:41,057 --> 00:37:43,097 Speaker 1: be new wife, and I looked, I would I would 792 00:37:43,137 --> 00:37:45,137 Speaker 1: love to. I want to be in the Passion sequel 793 00:37:45,177 --> 00:37:47,377 Speaker 1: when they do when they do that one, I mean 794 00:37:47,417 --> 00:37:49,777 Speaker 1: that that the amount of money talk about. I think 795 00:37:49,817 --> 00:37:53,417 Speaker 1: at one point that was the highest ROI rated our 796 00:37:53,537 --> 00:37:56,177 Speaker 1: movie of all time. But on a percentage case, yeah, 797 00:37:56,217 --> 00:37:58,177 Speaker 1: I think it was about a twenty times return. But 798 00:37:58,297 --> 00:38:00,497 Speaker 1: you know, on on On God's Not Dead, we had 799 00:38:00,497 --> 00:38:03,017 Speaker 1: a seventy times return. But we couldn't get on any 800 00:38:03,017 --> 00:38:05,617 Speaker 1: of the Good Morning America today because it's gotten God 801 00:38:05,697 --> 00:38:09,097 Speaker 1: And it isn't that amazing. If I played a radical Islama, 802 00:38:09,537 --> 00:38:13,257 Speaker 1: if I play a radical Islamic terrorists, you know, I 803 00:38:13,337 --> 00:38:16,537 Speaker 1: probably wouldn't an Oscar. Is there anybody that you think 804 00:38:16,577 --> 00:38:18,537 Speaker 1: would work on one of your projects? Right now? You're 805 00:38:18,537 --> 00:38:19,817 Speaker 1: already kind of eyeing and you're like, you know, I 806 00:38:19,857 --> 00:38:22,097 Speaker 1: think we're gonna get someone involved. Is there anyone out 807 00:38:22,137 --> 00:38:26,057 Speaker 1: there that you're you know? And I got my I 808 00:38:26,097 --> 00:38:28,977 Speaker 1: got my phone. I mean, I've met guys today at 809 00:38:29,057 --> 00:38:31,657 Speaker 1: lunch to talk about another project. I mean, I'm every 810 00:38:31,777 --> 00:38:34,777 Speaker 1: day I'm trying to find three million dollars. I played golf. 811 00:38:34,817 --> 00:38:36,497 Speaker 1: I do a lot of charity golf events, and I 812 00:38:36,497 --> 00:38:39,297 Speaker 1: played with the billionaire guys. At a conservative they'll give 813 00:38:39,457 --> 00:38:42,017 Speaker 1: nine million dollars to a Rick Santorum and that they'd 814 00:38:42,017 --> 00:38:44,017 Speaker 1: never see again. Now I'm going I could have made 815 00:38:44,017 --> 00:38:46,257 Speaker 1: two movies of that. Not only would have got about 816 00:38:46,297 --> 00:38:48,257 Speaker 1: twenty percent back on your money, but you would have 817 00:38:48,257 --> 00:38:50,377 Speaker 1: owned fifty percent of that movie forever. And that would 818 00:38:50,377 --> 00:38:52,457 Speaker 1: have been a movie out there that has a positive 819 00:38:52,457 --> 00:38:55,257 Speaker 1: influence some people instead of a Hollywood's negative. But I 820 00:38:55,297 --> 00:38:57,737 Speaker 1: don't think these guys understand the cultural war that's going on. 821 00:38:57,857 --> 00:39:00,897 Speaker 1: Andrew Breitbart did, right, Yeah, I see, I think that. 822 00:39:01,697 --> 00:39:04,777 Speaker 1: I think that it hasn't changed Kevin, but I do 823 00:39:04,857 --> 00:39:08,537 Speaker 1: think it's in the beginnings of change, because, for example, 824 00:39:08,617 --> 00:39:11,737 Speaker 1: what we've seen with Twitter, right, and credit to Elon 825 00:39:11,897 --> 00:39:14,177 Speaker 1: for just charging up that hill with all the lunatic 826 00:39:14,177 --> 00:39:16,137 Speaker 1: shrieking out of and all the pressure that he's under. 827 00:39:16,257 --> 00:39:18,377 Speaker 1: And he's not a right wing guy at all. I mean, 828 00:39:18,377 --> 00:39:20,297 Speaker 1: he's just kind of a rationalist. I mean he's sort 829 00:39:20,297 --> 00:39:21,537 Speaker 1: of a little bit of this, a little bit of that, 830 00:39:22,017 --> 00:39:27,457 Speaker 1: but Twitter became a left wing hellscape of lies, distortions, 831 00:39:27,737 --> 00:39:31,137 Speaker 1: and suppression. And what I think people who pay attention 832 00:39:31,177 --> 00:39:35,817 Speaker 1: realize is, guess what that's also happening at Facebook, at TikTok, 833 00:39:35,937 --> 00:39:40,137 Speaker 1: at Instagram, everywhere, all these places that's going on. We 834 00:39:40,177 --> 00:39:42,257 Speaker 1: are not going to win. We're not going to be 835 00:39:42,377 --> 00:39:45,617 Speaker 1: arguing about what the marginal tax rate is in fifteen 836 00:39:45,697 --> 00:39:48,537 Speaker 1: or twenty years. If all of our kids and everyone's 837 00:39:48,537 --> 00:39:50,777 Speaker 1: being programmed by the far left in a way that 838 00:39:51,217 --> 00:39:54,857 Speaker 1: blows away what you know CBS News could accomplish back 839 00:39:54,897 --> 00:39:56,457 Speaker 1: in the seventies, right, I mean, this is a whole 840 00:39:56,777 --> 00:39:59,377 Speaker 1: This is all day long people. People's kids are spending 841 00:39:59,377 --> 00:40:01,497 Speaker 1: more time with these screens than they are with their parents. 842 00:40:02,417 --> 00:40:06,097 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, there's no question about that.
