And Sir, I think sometimes, I mean, look, 54 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: you're a huge Hollywood star. You have had an incredibly 55 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: long career, an incredibly successful career, and so I think 56 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: sometimes when someone has been out in the public so long, 57 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: they kind of forget, you know, who is John Boyett? Like, 58 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: what was your what was your childhood like growing up? 59 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about your upbringing. I will. 60 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: I was just going to say, you know, life is 61 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: very short. People say that all the time to the 62 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: little kids, and then little kids just thinking, oh my god, 63 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: it's going to be so long before I get to 64 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: be eighteen or so. It wants so much to advance 65 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: and grow and all of that, and life is very short, 66 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: and a career is very short. And at one point 67 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: somebody asked me, some young lady asked me who was 68 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: Carrie Grant? And I couldn't believe that I was listening 69 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: to this, because in my lifetime he was, you know, 70 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: such a splendid part of our lives, watching his great movies. 71 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: And I couldn't believe that the kids didn't know him, 72 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: you know. And I'm like that. Now I'm getting older, 73 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: and so the new ones are coming forth and and 74 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: it's it's just interesting to look back on different things. Anyway, 75 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: I've forgotten the question, what was your childhood like? Growing up? 76 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: You know, what, what were your parents like? Yeah, so 77 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: what my child I grew up in Yonkers Youngers in 78 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: New York, and I had two brothers. We were we 79 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: were a threesome. We were only a year apart, and 80 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: I was in the middle. And from the earliest time 81 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: we you know, we were all a rampnctious, very active 82 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 1: three kids and my and each one of us went 83 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: our different ways. My my younger brother became enamored of 84 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: music and uh and went on to be a singer 85 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: songwriter and he wrote A Wild Thing, an Angel of 86 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: the mo many many great hits and he's still writing 87 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: today and he's a wonderful He's in the you know, 88 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,119 Speaker 1: Songwriters Hall of Fame and stuff. And my older brother, 89 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: Barry was always when he was a young fellow, was 90 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: out with his uncle who would come back from the service. 91 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: This was in the forties, and he would go on 92 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: camping trips and stuff. And he was very interested in 93 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: nature and he would take photographsive of the natural world 94 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: and different animals and stuff. And he became a geologist 95 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: and a well known volcanologist, a volcano expert. And he's 96 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: been faded and put into entered a major society in 97 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: the scientific society, very lead society and all of that. 98 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 1: You know. So the kid we each of us in 99 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: our childhood gave evidence of what we wanted to be, 100 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: and we were given encouragement as kids to follow, you know, 101 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: whatever wherever our loves took us. And I as a 102 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: kid was very playful. I was kind of the glue 103 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: in the family in a certain sense for the children, 104 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: because I kind of negotiated between my two brothers, who 105 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: both are fierce energies, and we had a lot of fun. 106 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: And I was playful, and I would make up games 107 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: to play and I would When television came along the fifties, 108 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: I started watching a Saturday night show, an hour and 109 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: a half show called The Show of Shows, Your Show 110 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: of Shows, and it starred Sid Caesar and Emagene Coca 111 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: and Carl Reiner and Howard Mars, those four and it 112 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: was written This show was very popular at that time, 113 00:06:55,160 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: and it was written by mel Brooks, Woody Allen, Neil Simon. 114 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: All of the great comedy writers were part of that show. 115 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: And so I had a very I didn't know it 116 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: at the time, but I was being influenced by really 117 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: brilliant people in the entertainment world. And I used to 118 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: imitate this fellow, said Caesar a lot from for the 119 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: entertainment of my classmates. And and that became As I 120 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: look back, I said, wait a minute, I think I 121 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: probably got more out of that, and I did you know, 122 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: all the other years, I certainly learned from many many 123 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: people on the way up, and that initial signature was 124 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: stayed with me. So because he was a character comedy actor, right, 125 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: and I would and I became a character actor. I 126 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: was interested in different kinds of characters and different accents 127 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: and different behaviors and that examination into those those areas 128 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: of acting as to oppose to leading the leading man 129 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: kind of actor who I have great appreciation for guys 130 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: who are pretty much the same in every film and 131 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: just know how to how to do that kind of 132 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: work and are very charismatic. And I just I went 133 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: off into this other world of character acting and was 134 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: influenced by many people growing into it, you know, and 135 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: working with great people Dustin hofton this, you know. And 136 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: so how did you get into it? Because you know, 137 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: acting in Hollywood's obviously an incredibly hard career to sort 138 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: of get your foot in the door. How did you 139 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: do it? Well, it was a long process for me. 140 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: No one in my family had any connection to to 141 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: you know, to zoo acting or you know, entertainment. My 142 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: band was a golf professional and he was and I 143 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: have to say, just take a word about my father 144 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: was a remarkable He was a loved golf. He was 145 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: a great golf effect. So he had a terrible accident 146 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: when he's eighteen years old, and he wasn't able to 147 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: pursue It created a s the accident that was happening 148 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: coming from a golf tournament in Chicago, and the result 149 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 1: of the injury that he had created calcium deposits and 150 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: a spine and he wasn't able to be as flexible 151 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: and he won't able to play play golf on the tour. 152 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: So he lost the great love of his life. Really, 153 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: but he became a great teacher of golf, and we 154 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: as his children, gained a father at home. He wasn't 155 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: away in the golf tournaments, and with the lures of 156 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: all of that, he was a great father. And he 157 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: was a great storyteller. And I don't know to this 158 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 1: day how he became so such a good storyteller because 159 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: he came from immigrant parents as grand as his father 160 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,719 Speaker 1: couldn't speak very good English, never did pick up a 161 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: language too well, but was really really charming and funny, 162 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: a good fellow. But my dad with the help I 163 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: think of the members of the club. It was a 164 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: German Jewish country club that people couldn't get into other 165 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: country clubs because they were Jewish, so they built their 166 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: own club and my dad was the beneficiary of that 167 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,320 Speaker 1: and our family and and I think he probably learned 168 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: storytelling from those members as he was caddying when he 169 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 1: was a very young boy. And the stories he told 170 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 1: us at bedtime for several years in our growing up 171 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: were very key to us growing properly and to our 172 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: enjoyment of things and insights into things, because he would 173 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: always put little messages into the stories and stuff. And 174 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: whenever you get into that phase of it, he well, 175 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: you know, boys, you've got to you know, know that 176 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: you won't be able to run as fast all ways, 177 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: and you will be able to and and so you 178 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,719 Speaker 1: have to, we'd say, tell the story. To get back 179 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: to the story, get back to the story. We were 180 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: very impatient, we did. Why did they tell us? But 181 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: the messages hit home, I think, and h and because 182 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: of that man, you know a lot, a lot. I 183 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: have to give my my father and mother great credit 184 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: for whatever good I have in my personality today. But anyway, 185 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: so we grew up in that, in that kind of 186 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: an atmosphere. When I was young, and I got caught 187 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: as I say, with this imitating and being playful and 188 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: all of that stuff, and I never thought I would 189 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: go into it and never you know, it was a 190 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: very interesting journey that I took. But at the end 191 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: of my college career, my junior year of college, right 192 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: before I went into my senior year of college, and 193 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: I was at college, a Catholic university in Washington, DC, 194 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: which had a very good drama department, but I was 195 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: in the art department because I thought I could get 196 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: more attention to other things. I was very active in 197 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: the let's say, the politics, but also just a social 198 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 1: life of the university. And that was very good training 199 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 1: for me. I must say. I enjoyed that and I 200 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 1: grew from it. But I kept asking people what I 201 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: should do? What do you think I should do? You know, 202 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: who should I be? A lawyer? Should I? And I 203 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: thought about, you know, maybe a politician, maybe a teacher, teacher, 204 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: I'd be a good teacher, things like that. And then 205 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: I was walking around campus with a book and I 206 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,439 Speaker 1: looked out at one point I saw this book and 207 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:50,719 Speaker 1: I said, what am I doing with this book? And 208 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: of course I knew what I was doing. The book, 209 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: but it was a book of criticisms of stage work 210 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 1: in the Golden Age of the British theme with Laurence 211 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: Olivier and Ralph Richardson and John Guilden those falls. And 212 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: it was by Kenneth Tynan, the leading critic at that time, 213 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: and he was very gave very elaborate descriptions of the 214 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: different performances in their effects. And I underlined and made 215 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: notes on all of Laurence Olivier's performances. The rest of 216 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: it I wasn't so interested in, but in his performances, 217 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: I saw something about how he approached the character that 218 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: he was playing, and how his choices in building a 219 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: character made a difference in the impact of the play. 220 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 1: I somehow understood that maybe I got it from my 221 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: my father and the way he told stories, because I 222 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: ingested all of that understanding, and then maybe just there 223 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: was a talent there for me. I saw something. I 224 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: saw how you affect a story, so you so you 225 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: grabbed the attention of the people, and you moved them, 226 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: this kind of thing, and and once and I looked 227 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: at that, and I said, I actually, I think I 228 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 1: even verbally said as out loud, I was a load 229 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: on campus looking at this book, and I said, I 230 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: know what I want to do. I want to be him. 231 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: And I pointed to, you know, something of Olivier's you know, 232 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: so that's and once I that moment, that epiphany that 233 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: happened right there, that was it. I knew I was 234 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: going to graduate after this senior year, and I was 235 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: going to go on to New York and I was 236 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: going to study. And I knew in my mind at 237 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: that time these are the things that I remember very visit, 238 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: you know, I said, and I know I'm not going 239 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: to give up. I'm going to do it. I'm going 240 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: to be a success. In other words, I knew it 241 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: was going to be challenging. I knew I was going 242 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: to go up to death, but I knew I would. 243 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: I know it's stick with it, and I knew it, okay, 244 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: but nobody else did. Certainly your parents don't when you're 245 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: going to towards such a shaky career, you know, you 246 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: don't know if your child is going to be able 247 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: to make a living. Sir, just one moment, we have 248 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: to take a quick break, and then we'll get right 249 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: back to it. The motion that police or racists who 250 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: kill black Americans disproportionately is a lie, a mirage, and 251 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: optical illusion not supported by any of the facts. It's 252 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: a false narrative. This week on The Truth with Lisa Booth, 253 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: I cut through the noise to get to the truth 254 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: about race and policing in America. With Heather MacDonald, a 255 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: fellow at the Manhattan Institute and the author of the 256 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: New York Times bestseller The War on Cops, we get 257 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: to the bottom of this anti police narrative and the 258 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: impact it is having on our country.

I mean 263 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: you're out at castings. It's really it's hard to get 264 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: in the door. And you read stories about people getting 265 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: your start. But that's exactly well, I have family, I 266 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: have family, I have family in the industry, but I've 267 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: also you know, you like you read about different people, 268 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: stories like Sylvester Stallone stories always stood out to me 269 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: as well, and sort of his hustle and getting you know, 270 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: Rocky started. But how did you persevere, Like what what 271 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: what was that just trying to get your foot your 272 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: feet in the door. What was that like for you 273 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: of just trying to get that that first gig, that 274 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: that that first opportunity, that first ability to show what 275 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: you had to offer? What was that like for you? Well, 276 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: you don't you when you start out, you certainly don't 277 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: have a lot of experience to tell you who you 278 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: are and what you do do you see, so you 279 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: have to gain some experience, and you have to and 280 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: and I looked for a teacher right away in New York, 281 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: got a little apartment in New York with two other guys. 282 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: Thankfully then when almost never there, so I had the 283 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: place to myself. It was a little air apartment and 284 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: there was a great Greek restaurant cafeteria downstairs, which was 285 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:13,959 Speaker 1: very reasonable and kept me alive. But I tried to go. 286 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: I went to classes, I talked to actors. I took 287 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: an opportunity to try out for everything, all of that stuff. Right. 288 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 1: Didn't have much success in the beginning and long periods 289 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: of drought. And if I finally got I got an 290 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: acting coach and he wasn't good. I turned out to 291 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: be very bad. I wasn't I wasn't learning anything. I 292 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 1: was actually going backward. And then finally I got a 293 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: teacher who was one of the one of the great 294 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 1: teachers at that time, Sanford Meisner. Sanford Meisner and Stella 295 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 1: Adler and Lee Strassburg were the three great teachers at 296 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: that time that that you were fortunate enough to you 297 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 1: were fortunate if you had any contact with And so 298 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: I learned a basic, kind of basic for the craft. 299 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: And of course I had I had something in me 300 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: that was an I knew about entertainment. I could entertain people. 301 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: I did have abilities that I knew, but how they 302 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: applied in the real world I didn't know. So so 303 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: I worked very hard. And then when I got through that, 304 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 1: and I had little jobs too. Always I got a 305 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: little job, and I got a little job on Broadway 306 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:36,120 Speaker 1: actually with the very early on, playing the telegraph boy 307 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 1: in Sound of Music, Ralph the fellow who turns the 308 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:47,880 Speaker 1: family in and the and anyway. So I had some success. 309 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 1: I knew that I knew I had something, and that 310 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: kept me going. Uh. And then finally, after I finished 311 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: a couple of years with mister Meisner, I was looking 312 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: to a job that would show off these talents that 313 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 1: I had, and I finally got a View from the Bridge, 314 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: which is an Arthur Miller play. It was the first 315 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: production of the Long, the long version of that play, 316 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: and as a very great play, I have to say, uh. 317 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: And I was and I got that role, and I 318 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 1: worked with Robert Duval, Bobby Duval, and it just happened 319 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: that Bobby Duvall was good friends with Dustin Hoffman and 320 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: was asked and Dusty was also connected to this director 321 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: of gross part and he showed up to help out 322 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 1: with the directing of the piece. So I met Dustin Hoffman, 323 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 1: you know that in that time, and he saw me 324 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 1: do some very good work. That was the first time 325 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 1: that I realized that I had achieved something in the 326 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: class work and that I had found some ground, you know. 327 00:19:55,040 --> 00:20:00,239 Speaker 1: And it was like it was like a base to 328 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 1: fly from in a way. I experienced a lot of 329 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: a lot of things in that particular time period where 330 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: I learned about myself. I was very entertaining in the character, 331 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: I think, and I was very moving and powerful as well. 332 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: So it was a great role and a role that 333 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: was fit to me, and I made a mark and 334 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 1: therefore I had you know, a step up. Now people 335 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 1: were going to be looking at me, and that's what happened. 336 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: And You've been in a ton of successful films, you know, 337 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 1: starting with you know, Midnight Cowboy, that was a big 338 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 1: break for you, to even more recently winning a Golden 339 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: Globe for the television series Ray Donovan. Why do you 340 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,719 Speaker 1: think you've been able to have such a long and 341 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: sustained career when so many haven't been able to do that. 342 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: First of all, a good fortune, I think, you know, 343 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: I was lucky. But also there's a little bit of 344 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: a mystery to me, and it's a spiritual aspect. I 345 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: was in bad behavior. As I look back, and things 346 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: happened to me where I changed my perspective on things 347 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: and I was lifted from that. I was able to 348 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: get it, get away from that, and I became very connected. 349 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: Although I grew up a Catholic, and when I hit 350 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: in New York, I kind of lost that, you know, 351 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: I kind of left that behind and got in trouble 352 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,719 Speaker 1: with it, you know, got away from this understanding of 353 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: God and the and the rules of life and stuff, 354 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: and even the examples of my parents, who were admirable people. 355 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: I lost my way a little bit, and then I 356 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: came back around and because of that, I turned into, 357 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: you know, a person who was devoted to God and 358 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: did a lot of meditation and I was able to 359 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: change and in that change many things has happened. That 360 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: it was quite I have some stories to tell about 361 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: the mysteries of that, but I would I would say 362 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: that's the mark that kept me going, uh, you know, 363 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: giving me a lift when I was very down. I 364 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: said prayers, and the prayers were answered in many ways. 365 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: So so I'd say, there's a spiritual aspect and you 366 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: talk about God a lot. And you know, right now 367 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: in the country, we're saying a decline in religious affiliation 368 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: over the past few years. Do you think that's why 369 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: we're having so many problems as a country right now? Well, 370 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: I would say yes. I would say yes. I would 371 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: say we've lost our moorings. You know, the stuff that 372 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: they're feeding our children right now is very disturbing. Uh. 373 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: You know, there used to be Remember there's a book 374 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: everything that you need to know you were learned in kindergarten, 375 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: you know, and that was a good book because it 376 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: showed you how much morality and real basics for life 377 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: we're taught in kindergarten the taking responsibility for yourself and 378 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: all sorts of things, and we've gotten and now the 379 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: children are being given poison from all these woke teachings 380 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 1: have to say. And we've let our guard slip and 381 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: we have to recapture that ground otherwise we're we're doomed society. 382 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 1: And I feel that we're starting to understand that too. 383 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: And that's why I you know, the last video that 384 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: I that I released was very strong, and I have 385 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,439 Speaker 1: helped to get these videos done, you know, to do 386 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: these videos. But um, I perhaps i'd read it to 387 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: you and we can talk about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 388 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,120 Speaker 1: if you you know what what concerns you right now 389 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: the most in taking a look at the country? You 390 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: know you're you're talking about. I watched the videos that 391 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: you do. I know that you you tweat them out 392 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: as well, sir, and you're a very vocal conservative. What 393 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: taking a look at where we are right now as 394 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: a nation? What concerns you the most? What concerns me 395 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: the most is that we've we've lost our moorings and 396 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:30,199 Speaker 1: we're being overtaken by really it's it's a it's an 397 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: evil that is trying to overtake this country and all 398 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: the greatness of this country. Why is it that people 399 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: want to come to this country, Why is it that 400 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: people are breaking down, you know, our boarders to get 401 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: to us, And why is it that the people who 402 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 1: are most concerned about us are people from who have 403 00:24:53,560 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: lived under this this tyranny of SOCIALI communism, you know, 404 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 1: across the world, people from Poland, people from Russia, people 405 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: from Cuba. We're turning into a venezuela. And they see it. 406 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: They can see it clearly because it happened to them. 407 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 1: They went through all of this, this horror and sadness 408 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 1: and lost their countries. And they see the same thing 409 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: happened to the United States, and this was the place 410 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: that they came to because they needed to say, to 411 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: get to a safe shore, they needed to get to freedom, 412 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: they needed to get the opportunity. And now they see 413 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: that this country too is falling under under this evil influence. 414 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 1: And so that's that's my concern at this time. I 415 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: think we all have to be very, very concerned, and 416 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 1: therefore I do everything I can because I've gone through 417 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 1: a lot of this myself from the sixties, and I 418 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: see how it's happened. And I know that the people 419 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: must be courageous and learned and fight this battle for 420 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 1: our future generations. We have to we have to stand 421 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: up here. This is it at such an interesting point, 422 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: mister hold that thought right there. We have to take 423 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: a break. The motion at police or racists who kill 424 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,120 Speaker 1: Black Americans disproportionately is a lie, a mirage, and optical illusion, 425 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: not supported by any of the facts. It's a false narrative. 426 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,640 Speaker 1: This week on The Truth with Lisa Booth, I cut 427 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: through the noise to get to the truth about race 428 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 1: and policing in America. With Heather MacDonald, a fellow at 429 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 1: the Manhattan Institute and the author of the New York 430 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: Times bestseller The War on Cops, we get to the 431 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: bottom of this anti police narrative and the impact is 432 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: having on our country. You don't want to miss this episode, 433 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 1: and make sure you listen to the Truth with Lisa 434 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: Booth every Wednesday on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, 435 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. I just I have 436 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 1: a fundamental respect for people that go their own way. 437 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,719 Speaker 1: You know, it's it's so easy to follow the crowd, 438 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: It's so easy to follow a group. It's much harder 439 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: to stand alone in your convictions and in your strength 440 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: and what you believe, and that is what you do. 441 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: You're exceptionally brave, particularly in an industry that doesn't really 442 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:28,439 Speaker 1: care for, you know, different diversity and ideology. How has 443 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: it been like for you as a conservative in an 444 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 1: industry that typically seems to all be on one side 445 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: of the aisle? Has that been hard? It's going to 446 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: be difficult. It's costing your work, of course, because people 447 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 1: will are afraid to the people who would would have 448 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: common sense are afraid to be exposed for having common sense. 449 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: Can you imagine what's going on? Yeah, it's really nice. 450 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: So I'm kind of a I'm a person that everyone 451 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: thank God that I've had some success in my life 452 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: so that I can people know that when they hire me, 453 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 1: I'm going to give a good representation of the work 454 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: and and maybe make their peace more successful and uh, 455 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: all of that. But people are are afraid to be 456 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: exposed at this time for questioning this. Uh this, I 457 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: think this this this bad behavior that's going on all 458 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: over the places. But uh, it's it's interesting. It's a battle. 459 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: It's a battle, and and it's in this industry. You see. 460 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 1: Initially the KGB targeted the United States and and crusehev said, 461 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: you know, we won't will over fum you, but we 462 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: won't do it with guns. You know, We'll just you'll 463 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: vote vote us into office. That's what he said, you know, 464 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: And that's pretty much what's happened. I mean, they know 465 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: what they're doing. They targeted, They targeted the film industry 466 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: because of its influence, They targeted schools, and because we 467 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: are in a country of freedom, freedom of speech, they 468 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: used it for there as a tool for themselves. They 469 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: took advantage of it, and we were We didn't see 470 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: it coming. So there's an awful lot to be said 471 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: about this, of course. And they're better, they're smarter people 472 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: than I do well, And I work in the media, sir, 473 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: and you know, I see you. Unfortunately, I work for 474 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: a network that really tries to get both sides of 475 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: the aisle. When you look at other networks that do not, 476 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: like CNN and MSNBC, But I see how you know 477 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 1: a lot of the mainstream media really pushes the left propaganda. 478 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 1: What role do you think Hollywood plays and that as well. 479 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: I think it's a very big surprise that the media 480 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: can be so so captured, so overtaken. How could this be? 481 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 1: Don't journalists have any sense of pride even you know, 482 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: don't they? But you know they're they're low in the 483 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: totem poles. So they keep their mouth shut and they 484 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: just do their jobs. You see, they repeat the party line. 485 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: This is just like rush. I mean, this is just 486 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: like Provada. There's no difference. They read the New York Times. 487 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: You're getting phony stuff. So so what does what does 488 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: the guy do? Who he wants to feed his family 489 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: and he needs to keep his job. It's those pressures 490 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: that they keep it going. I think. So, who's going 491 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: to stop this? Well, there are many brave people that 492 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: are stepping up and gave brave teachers who are in 493 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: are the industry, entertainment magistry, in the you know, in 494 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: the news industry that are stepping up and giving us 495 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: a direction. So we have to find those people and 496 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: stick with them and support them. What was it about conservatism? 497 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: You know, when did you become a conservative and what 498 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: convinced you? You talked about your journey with religion. What 499 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: was your journey alike in politics? My journey in politics 500 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: was that I was susceptible to being in the sixties. 501 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: I was just learning to going to school to learn 502 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 1: to act, wanting to be one of those actors that 503 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: works all the time, you know, needing to have success 504 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: and trying to find roles, trying to find all of 505 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: this stuff. And I was available to all of the 506 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: politics of that time, which was anarchisms took place in 507 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: the streets of the United States. You know, there was 508 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: a lot of things going on, and I when I 509 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: look back, I said, well, what happened was really from 510 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: the trauma of losing John Kennedy. I was a big 511 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: supporter of Kenny. I mean it was I was infatuated 512 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: with Kennedy. He was very it seemed like the answer 513 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: to many things. He was very idealistic, and he had 514 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 1: this nice way about him and I believed in it. 515 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: And then and the country did too. And suddenly he 516 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: was murdered, and I think everyone was. I think everyone 517 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 1: was hurt by that. When we talked about trauma, I 518 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: think everybody knew where they were when they heard that news. 519 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: I think the fact is that nobody really could figure 520 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:52,720 Speaker 1: out what exactly happened to this day. And after that 521 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 1: things became we had no leadership from the top. That's 522 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: what I felt, not leadership we believed in. And that's 523 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 1: my personal Everyone knows where they were at the time 524 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: they heard that news, and so I would say that 525 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 1: was a big blow and in moved all of this leftism, 526 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: some from the people in the streets who were just 527 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: advocating free love and this and you know, all that stuff. 528 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: But that was also planted by by very clever people 529 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 1: from the left, which means the communists in the Russian KGB, 530 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: the German group, the Frankfurt School came in. They were 531 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 1: on the left, and so all of these distortions that 532 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: took place were manipulated and that was the beginning. Now, 533 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 1: since that time, we had one break where we had 534 00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: President Reagan and were more clear and different and better, 535 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: but it didn't last very long, and we took our 536 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 1: eye especially when the Soviet Union collapsed. We felt we 537 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: had no you know, no enemies anymore, and we took 538 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: our eye off the ball. And that's when they moved in. 539 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: That's when the forces that they had started in the 540 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: sixties moved into our schools, our education. So they had 541 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: been moving into the education system and took over our 542 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: industry and took over the media. So and we can 543 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: you can chart that out and see the heroes and 544 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,439 Speaker 1: villains in that process. But that's that's where we are now. 545 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: We're really facing a takeover. Well, there's just such censorship. 546 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 1: I mean, you talked about tyranny earlier. I mean, we 547 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: look at the fact that the president, the former president 548 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: of the United States was banned from social media. We 549 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 1: had big tech actively taking a role in silent seeing 550 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 1: or suppressing information. I mean even today, if you try 551 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: questioning the twenty twenty election, despite the fact that Democrats 552 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: whined about the twenty sixteen election for years, if you 553 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,280 Speaker 1: try questioning an election where we had an unprecedented amount 554 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 1: of mail in ballots in the middle of a pandemic, 555 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,440 Speaker 1: you know, you get needed as some sort of conspiracy theorist. 556 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 1: Why do you think that is? Why? Why can't we 557 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: question the results of the twenty twenty election. Well, this 558 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: has been Launching Donald Trump has been very interesting because 559 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: Donald who is Donald Trump, Donald Trump as a fellow 560 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:37,360 Speaker 1: who is very very successful, has many gifts, obvious gifts 561 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: prior to becoming president, right, certainly got to work with 562 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 1: many different aspects of our society. To put up the 563 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 1: beautiful buildings that he has, you know, gotten accomplished. It's 564 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: changed the skyline of of you know, New York City 565 00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,880 Speaker 1: and the world really many many different buildings across the world. 566 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 1: And he's used to working with all sorts of different things, 567 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 1: you know, in order to get permissions, you have to 568 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: work with the different city councils and all sorts of stuff, 569 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 1: and and architects and building materials, you have to budget stuff. 570 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:23,359 Speaker 1: And he is a tremendous and arsenal of talents that 571 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 1: he's that he's been created, you know, calling over the years. 572 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,479 Speaker 1: And and then he becomes president of United States. Now 573 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 1: he becomes president of United States, and people didn't know 574 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,440 Speaker 1: where he was going to go, if you remember, they 575 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 1: didn't know whether he was going to be conservative or 576 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 1: whether it was too much on the left, because he'd 577 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 1: been you know, he's been friends with Hillary Clinton, you know, 578 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,840 Speaker 1: put money into this and that, and then all of 579 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,800 Speaker 1: a sudden he starts. But but somebody knew because before 580 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:07,240 Speaker 1: he was, before he was actually sworn in, they said 581 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 1: they're going to impeach him, didn't they The left and 582 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:17,759 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party knew he was dangerous to them. Because 583 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:22,680 Speaker 1: why why he hadn't done anything yet. Part of it 584 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: was because he didn't have any respect for the swamp, 585 00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,760 Speaker 1: you know, the way things go. He wasn't You couldn't 586 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:37,880 Speaker 1: corrupt him, you couldn't buy him. Oh wow, that's that stuff, 587 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,840 Speaker 1: you see. But did how did they see the power 588 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 1: that he was And it's very interesting they were. They 589 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: were went after him with everything they had right from 590 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 1: the beginning. And he was very friendly to many of 591 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: these people who were leadership in the Democrat Party. So 592 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 1: something's way off. See, they knew somehow that he was 593 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,880 Speaker 1: going to be dangerous to them, and in fact he 594 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: was because he's a because he's a good, god fearing 595 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 1: man who has a great talent for leadership. And he 596 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 1: was going to go in and he said, I'm going 597 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 1: to clean this up a little bit. And he did 598 00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,799 Speaker 1: everything he said he did. And perhaps it was the 599 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: promises he made as he grew towards the election that 600 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: he said he was going to do this, you know, 601 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 1: close for the war at the border, take you know, 602 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:41,680 Speaker 1: take on the challenge of China, do all redo the trade, 603 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: all of these things that he said he was going 604 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:49,320 Speaker 1: to do. He actually did the most amazing thing, because 605 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 1: no one has ever done so much in such a 606 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 1: short period of time. And and when you think that 607 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 1: he was attacked every day that he was in office, 608 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,280 Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. But what do you think happened? Because you've 609 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 1: said before, you know, you're disgusted with the why that 610 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 1: Biden has been chosen as if we all don't know 611 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,320 Speaker 1: the truth. What do you think the truth is about 612 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,640 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election? Oh well, I mean I think 613 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 1: you said it. I mean, there's so much evidence that 614 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,759 Speaker 1: it was it was a stolen election. I take this 615 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 1: back to the moment when Soros realized that Trump had 616 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:30,759 Speaker 1: been elected by the American people, and he said, this 617 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:35,840 Speaker 1: is a disaster, and he meant it. And Soros is 618 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:39,319 Speaker 1: a very interesting character, and he represents all of the 619 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:45,799 Speaker 1: stuff that's going on. He's anti Trump in every way 620 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 1: and he was not. And he uses all his billions 621 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:57,840 Speaker 1: to infiltrate into the schools with all his foundations and 622 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:03,440 Speaker 1: all is organizations all misnomer by the way, because they 623 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,799 Speaker 1: all represent themselves on being patriotic and they're not like 624 00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,799 Speaker 1: like looking at the Constitution. And then it really is 625 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 1: an attack on the Constitution. And that's given to the 626 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,719 Speaker 1: you know kids in colleges. I mean, he's really a 627 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:22,759 Speaker 1: supporter of everything at the American So so anyway that 628 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 1: when he said that, it was like saying, okay, threw 629 00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 1: down the ground, but he's going he's never going to 630 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,920 Speaker 1: let this happen again. And it was he and the 631 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,280 Speaker 1: Democrat leadership and all of the people on the left 632 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:45,879 Speaker 1: who gathered together to stop this man and to make 633 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:50,439 Speaker 1: sure that this next election would not repeat itself. And 634 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 1: of course they had a big problem because Donald Trump 635 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,879 Speaker 1: gave us the best economy we've ever had, and he 636 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:01,399 Speaker 1: was doing all all sorts of figures you know that 637 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:07,799 Speaker 1: we dreamed would be accomplished that needed so badly to 638 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 1: be done. We were seeing, you know, the country go 639 00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,839 Speaker 1: down hill, and all of a sudden, this man comes 640 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:20,759 Speaker 1: up and has insights and almost every area of the 641 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 1: problem and corrects it as he goes. Well, some quite 642 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 1: something and they were going to but they were going 643 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,399 Speaker 1: to bring him down. So they gathered every force they 644 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:37,440 Speaker 1: could and tried every deceitful, you know method to attack 645 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 1: him and slander him, and they still couldn't do it 646 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,840 Speaker 1: until COVID And so you have to question that too. 647 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,279 Speaker 1: But then coming down to the election. They weren't going 648 00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,680 Speaker 1: to do they weren't going to let this happen. They 649 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,279 Speaker 1: just weren't happen. So that you get all of these 650 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:58,440 Speaker 1: things about, you know, we just weakening all the ability 651 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,480 Speaker 1: for people to make a proper vote and be properly counted. 652 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 1: And that's what they did all across the country. And 653 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 1: they used every method, and they encouraged every kind of 654 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 1: bad behavior and and I and those blackouts, you know, 655 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:21,799 Speaker 1: those several hour blackouts in the main states unbelievable and 656 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 1: turned the tide. So yeah, I think I think we 657 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,080 Speaker 1: have to pay very close attention to it and hopefully, 658 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,839 Speaker 1: you know, the truth will emerge and we'll catch these 659 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 1: people who are This is real, This is real, criminal 660 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,399 Speaker 1: behavior of the highest order. Do you think President Trump 661 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 1: should run again or who do you think? Who are 662 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 1: you looking at as the future of the Republican Party? Well, 663 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:52,240 Speaker 1: I think we have many great people. Actually we should 664 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,000 Speaker 1: take heart that we have many great people in the 665 00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,400 Speaker 1: Republican Party who have stepped out, who have gone through this. 666 00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: You know, standing standing tall, I can name you know, 667 00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:09,799 Speaker 1: dozens and that and that's a that's good. But right 668 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:15,319 Speaker 1: now I'm I'm watching President Trump to see what he's 669 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:20,680 Speaker 1: going to do. I think I think we have to 670 00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:24,879 Speaker 1: just wait and see. There obviously are other people who 671 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 1: can run and be successful, and I think the country 672 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:36,839 Speaker 1: will show itself next November in a very strong way. 673 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:44,640 Speaker 1: But I'm watching President Trump. He still has enormous influence. 674 00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 1: People love this man for what he has done and 675 00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,880 Speaker 1: for that way he handles himself. How much you know 676 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,440 Speaker 1: you mentioned the next election, which I think is probably 677 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,560 Speaker 1: one of the most consequential elections we've ever had in 678 00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,600 Speaker 1: American history. Personally, I think it's going to determine if 679 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:02,480 Speaker 1: we become, you know, a communist, authoritarian type nation or 680 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,240 Speaker 1: a nation that is still a republic that still believes 681 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:09,160 Speaker 1: believes in the foundings of our country. How much of 682 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 1: a referendum do you think it'll be on the Biden administration. Well, 683 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: of course it's going to be, But then again, it's 684 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:18,480 Speaker 1: going to be You're going to look to the polls 685 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,919 Speaker 1: to see if you have the ability. And the Biden 686 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,000 Speaker 1: administration is changing everything. They're doing a lot of damage 687 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,240 Speaker 1: on a daily basis, and they're trying to The Democrat 688 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:36,040 Speaker 1: Party is trying to overthrow all of the constitutional strengths 689 00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 1: of our country. Can I just read. Let me read 690 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 1: because a lot of people haven't seen that video. Let 691 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:48,600 Speaker 1: me read the words right now, Biden is most of 692 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:52,520 Speaker 1: these are the words. Biden has taken all Trump's works 693 00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:58,319 Speaker 1: and switched to Obama's carefully instructed instructions. This nation is 694 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:02,440 Speaker 1: in complete chaos. Let us pray for a moment. Let 695 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:06,400 Speaker 1: us bless this nation for a moment. My dear friends, 696 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:12,000 Speaker 1: my fellow Americans. Donald J. Trump was our savior. This 697 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:18,160 Speaker 1: new administration has turns us upside down with deceit and destruction. 698 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:23,240 Speaker 1: We're all in the same frame of mind, hoping, praying 699 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:27,560 Speaker 1: for God's miracle, a miracle that can cross us over 700 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:33,360 Speaker 1: like the parting of the See Jesus spoke, Moses spoke, 701 00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:38,760 Speaker 1: Let God speak, Let God heal all our suffering souls. 702 00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:42,800 Speaker 1: And let President Trump feel this because he was truly 703 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 1: following God's call, not the swamp that destroys. I want 704 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,560 Speaker 1: to get to the end of it, because it's very important. 705 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:55,320 Speaker 1: He President Trump had a gift for all people, all nations. 706 00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,880 Speaker 1: He loved this country and he did say it until 707 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,239 Speaker 1: the left wing distorted all his work and turned it 708 00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:09,319 Speaker 1: into their deceit. We the people who have faith, We 709 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:13,920 Speaker 1: the people that love our country, the USA. We all 710 00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 1: must focus on what is truly truths, what and who 711 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:24,040 Speaker 1: has our best interest. Be aware, my fellow Americans, the 712 00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:31,040 Speaker 1: Biden administration has destroyed our nation. But my friends, God 713 00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,919 Speaker 1: has a plan. He will show that truths will win. 714 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:41,760 Speaker 1: No man can lie, steal or take away the one truth. 715 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:48,320 Speaker 1: And that is the power of God, the power of righteousness, 716 00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:52,280 Speaker 1: the power of Abraham Lincoln's work, the note he left 717 00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:58,440 Speaker 1: for his nation that this nation under God shall have 718 00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:02,120 Speaker 1: a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, 719 00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:07,439 Speaker 1: by the people, for the people shall not perish from 720 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,600 Speaker 1: this earth. I really do think, you know, we talked 721 00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,480 Speaker 1: about earlier about sort of looking at God and family, 722 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:15,400 Speaker 1: and I think that's part of the reason why the 723 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,000 Speaker 1: left tends to de emphasize religion, they tend to de 724 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,880 Speaker 1: emphasize family, is because if you're rooted in these things 725 00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,480 Speaker 1: that are deeper and more important than government, you're not 726 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:28,000 Speaker 1: looking to government. I mean, they really want a population 727 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,759 Speaker 1: that is completely dependent on the government, that's dependent on them, 728 00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,080 Speaker 1: that doesn't have you know, aren't that aren't rooted in 729 00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:39,160 Speaker 1: core convictions like family and religion. It seems nonsense. You 730 00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:43,160 Speaker 1: know of the COVID stuff to stay in your house, 731 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 1: do do this? Do that? Where your masks? Where three masks? Do? 732 00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:51,960 Speaker 1: What are you doing? They spend their time with that. 733 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,319 Speaker 1: They don't spend their time solving anything. They have no 734 00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:59,239 Speaker 1: understanding of governance. Certainly they have no understanding of the economy. 735 00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:04,000 Speaker 1: I mean, and listen, this is a long story with communism. 736 00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:09,560 Speaker 1: When Lenin took over in Russia the Bolsheviks, after four years, 737 00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,879 Speaker 1: he killed four million people, starved more four million people 738 00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:16,960 Speaker 1: than the death and ten years later over five million 739 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:23,040 Speaker 1: people were starved by Joseph Stalin. I was there in 740 00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:27,160 Speaker 1: the early nineties, nineteen ninety one, and I was witnessed 741 00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:31,919 Speaker 1: to the misery that the people lived under. And this 742 00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:36,359 Speaker 1: is what we're voting in now. We have we've got 743 00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,120 Speaker 1: to stop this. We've got to know that we have 744 00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:46,920 Speaker 1: a great country with a tremendous set of principles and instructions. 745 00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,959 Speaker 1: We have to get back to it, to our happiness. 746 00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:56,120 Speaker 1: And we're suffering right now, and we have to prevail. 747 00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,719 Speaker 1: The truth has to prevail now. We have to stand up. 748 00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,719 Speaker 1: Do you think that's why? I mean, you know, Martin 749 00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,600 Speaker 1: Luther King said that he wanted his kids to grow 750 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:07,759 Speaker 1: up in a nation that they were judged on the 751 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:10,280 Speaker 1: content of their character versus the color of their skin. 752 00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:14,600 Speaker 1: But it seems like the left is pushing this idea 753 00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,600 Speaker 1: that everyone views each other from a racial prism, as 754 00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,080 Speaker 1: a prism versus just looking at each other as human 755 00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,799 Speaker 1: beings or fellow Americans. You know, why do you think 756 00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:27,640 Speaker 1: we've arrived at this point of such racial division. Yeah, well, 757 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,960 Speaker 1: it's it's been inserted into our country because of all 758 00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,320 Speaker 1: of this stuff, the gender stuff that came with the 759 00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:38,040 Speaker 1: private school. You know, we've been invaded. We got to 760 00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:41,760 Speaker 1: know where this came from and and you know, reveal 761 00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:50,560 Speaker 1: it to folks. This this whole nonsense of you know, 762 00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:55,919 Speaker 1: diversity training programs that are not about racial sensitivity. They're 763 00:49:55,960 --> 00:50:00,480 Speaker 1: about demonizing white people now and the constitutional order of 764 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:06,280 Speaker 1: individual freedom, equality and accountability that the American founders created 765 00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,759 Speaker 1: dressing up a racial attack, you know, like this and 766 00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:17,879 Speaker 1: demand for conformity as racial sensitivity towards minorities is perhaps well, 767 00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,680 Speaker 1: it's the only way such an anti democratic set of 768 00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:24,560 Speaker 1: ideas could possibly be imposed on the American mind. But anyway, 769 00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:31,399 Speaker 1: we're dealing with real bad stuff. Here bad thinking, what's 770 00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,120 Speaker 1: the path forward? Because you've you've been a student of this, 771 00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,080 Speaker 1: You've paid a lot of attention over the years, which 772 00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,239 Speaker 1: is obvious in my conversation with you. You know, what's 773 00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:41,000 Speaker 1: your what's your hope for America? What's your hope for 774 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:45,399 Speaker 1: the future. I say, righteousness is done dead. God has 775 00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:50,080 Speaker 1: not left his chair, you know. I say, it's this 776 00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:54,439 Speaker 1: is It's not it's not just going to church. It's 777 00:50:54,480 --> 00:51:00,120 Speaker 1: not an understanding that we are here for. What is 778 00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:03,080 Speaker 1: a life worth? What is a life? We have to 779 00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:09,279 Speaker 1: ask that question. Our lives are are given us an 780 00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:15,840 Speaker 1: opportunity to grow, to learn lessons, to grow strong, to help, 781 00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:20,320 Speaker 1: to look to other people. What is the basic golden rule? 782 00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:24,160 Speaker 1: Do one too others? Well, all of that is missing. 783 00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:28,360 Speaker 1: Now let's not do onto others. Meet has another meaning. 784 00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,560 Speaker 1: Now do it to your you know, the your enemy, 785 00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,640 Speaker 1: do it. Do it to the masses. Do it. But 786 00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:39,840 Speaker 1: you know, it's this totalitarian thing that the American founders 787 00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:44,640 Speaker 1: put behind us, put behind the world. We were the 788 00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:50,640 Speaker 1: you know the Declaration of Independence. You know these words 789 00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:54,480 Speaker 1: in the Declaration of Independence changed three thousand years of tyranny. 790 00:51:55,680 --> 00:52:00,160 Speaker 1: We brought forth government by the people, you know in 791 00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:07,560 Speaker 1: a very beautiful, very considered way, that these instructions that 792 00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:11,520 Speaker 1: are in our constitution are golden and we change the 793 00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:16,600 Speaker 1: world what we thought forever, but now we're being pulled back. 794 00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:22,080 Speaker 1: So anyway, the answer is that God is real, and 795 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:25,560 Speaker 1: we have to be we have to be our better selves, 796 00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,440 Speaker 1: and we have to stand now for our children and 797 00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:33,720 Speaker 1: the future children. And what's next for you? You've you've confort, 798 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,480 Speaker 1: You've accomplished a tremendous amount in your life. What do 799 00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,040 Speaker 1: you want to do? What's next for you? Oh? Well, 800 00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:45,000 Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm eighty two years old, and I'm 801 00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:50,600 Speaker 1: still very very active and uh, you know, and pretty 802 00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:55,280 Speaker 1: good health, and you know, and I still love acting, 803 00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,640 Speaker 1: So I'll still do my work as an actor, you know, 804 00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:02,399 Speaker 1: the best I can. I probably never never somebody asked 805 00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:04,520 Speaker 1: me if I would retire ASA. No, I don't think 806 00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:06,759 Speaker 1: I'm going to retire as long as I can still 807 00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:14,719 Speaker 1: play something, you know, the available. But the idea for 808 00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:18,439 Speaker 1: me is I'm looking after this country the best I can. 809 00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:22,160 Speaker 1: I feel so much my citizenship to this country. I'm 810 00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:27,399 Speaker 1: so proud to be an American patriot and to understand 811 00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:31,960 Speaker 1: what was given to us and to find myself allied 812 00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:38,080 Speaker 1: with the great people of our history, all those wonderful 813 00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:44,240 Speaker 1: people who have been given memorials in DC. They're great, 814 00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:48,480 Speaker 1: great people. All those words on the walls, I understand them, 815 00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:52,560 Speaker 1: and so I'll carry on the best I can to 816 00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:56,200 Speaker 1: see if I can do everything I can before I 817 00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:58,200 Speaker 1: have to leave.

It's wonderful. I so 830 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,560 Speaker 1: appreciate that, Thank you, sir. You know I grew up 831 00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:41,919 Speaker 1: my parents are very religious. They're Christians. They believe in God, 832 00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:45,319 Speaker 1: so they taught us belief in God, taught us to 833 00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,239 Speaker 1: you know, respect others, to be kind to others, to 834 00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,160 Speaker 1: you know, try to practice what you preach. I grew up, 835 00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:52,879 Speaker 1: you know, similar to what you were talking about with 836 00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,759 Speaker 1: your dad. You know, my my parents have always been 837 00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:57,839 Speaker 1: those people that, you know, no matter what you want 838 00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,600 Speaker 1: to do in life, we support you. And there's even 839 00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:02,719 Speaker 1: been times where you know, I've left jobs. I took 840 00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:05,120 Speaker 1: a gamble, you know, I left a great job to 841 00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:07,280 Speaker 1: take a gamble on TV to see if I could 842 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:10,279 Speaker 1: you know, get a contract and make it work. And I, 843 00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:11,960 Speaker 1: you know, didn't really have a plan in place. It 844 00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,839 Speaker 1: was sort of it was sort of something that just 845 00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:16,960 Speaker 1: came up and it arised and I had to make 846 00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,239 Speaker 1: a decision and my parents were fully supportive of it 847 00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:21,040 Speaker 1: because they knew I loved television. They knew that was 848 00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,319 Speaker 1: my dream. So I was very blessed, like you to 849 00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:26,080 Speaker 1: have parents that were just very supportive, and you know, 850 00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:30,440 Speaker 1: we're there, loved, unconditionally supportive no matter what, always there 851 00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:32,280 Speaker 1: to pick you up. And which is why I believe 852 00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,600 Speaker 1: that family nucleus is everything in life. And I grew 853 00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:37,360 Speaker 1: up with three brothers, so I had an older brother 854 00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:41,440 Speaker 1: who you know says that he made me tough, you know, practicing, 855 00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:43,919 Speaker 1: you know, wrestling moves and you know, stuff like that. 856 00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,240 Speaker 1: But yeah, I grew up in an environment where family 857 00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:49,600 Speaker 1: is everything, you know, and especially I'm sure you feel 858 00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:53,840 Speaker 1: this way, you know, working in Hollywood and working and acting. 859 00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:56,560 Speaker 1: You know, look media as a fickle beast, right, So 860 00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,200 Speaker 1: it's you know, things are going great today, and I'm 861 00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,400 Speaker 1: fortunate for that, and I've worked hard, and I blessed 862 00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,160 Speaker 1: to have what I have for now, but it could 863 00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:06,440 Speaker 1: go way tomorrow. And so if that happens, what are 864 00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,279 Speaker 1: you left with and what really matters in life? And 865 00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,960 Speaker 1: you know, it's friends, it's family, it's the people around you. 866 00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:14,759 Speaker 1: It's the things that are so much more important than 867 00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,200 Speaker 1: work or money or any of this other stuff. So 868 00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:18,560 Speaker 1: I try to keep that in the back of my 869 00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:21,760 Speaker 1: mind too, in an industry that I know so fickle, 870 00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:25,000 Speaker 1: so up and down, and you never know where it's 871 00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,160 Speaker 1: gonna end up.
