When you hear what he actually says, perhaps the opposite of a lot of the comedic characters he's played.
So I'm really excited about this interview.
We're going to have a lot of fun with it.

Philip, good to have you back with us.
How's it going? Going well.
Thank you for having me. So, a question for you.
You know, with the election now, only weeks away, we're learning more and more about candidates' economic proposals.
Can you summarize what we know about the Harris-Waltz plan so far?
Because I think people have to understand what that could mean economically if they haven't already gotten a solid taste of that over the last four years.
I mean, how they haven't over the last four years is beyond me, but...
Look, there hasn't really been a huge amount of detail in terms of an economic policy, and I think it's by design, right?
Instead, we're hearing these vague abstractions about making the economy fair, but with nothing really tangible.
What we do have that's tangible are tax increases.
They want to quadruple the stock buyback.
They want to enact a 25% minimum tax on high wealth households and tax death estates.
The problem that I have here, though, is these proposals will generate 750 to 900 billion dollars over the next 10 years.
You know, we have debt service payments of over 950 billion dollars this year alone.
So, you know, they're talking about taxing.
Nobody's talking about addressing the spending, which is the big problem.
So what about the spending?
What are Harris's fiscal priorities as it relates to spending?
How is that going to affect the individual?
It's a disaster. I mean, it's literally Bidenomics 2.0.
And when I say that, I mean that.
They copy and paste it, and they didn't even change the source code.
So if you think it's going to be the candidate of change, you're wrong.
It's the same thing, and it's even worse.
Literally, for every dollar he wanted to spend, she's pledging two, as if the problem with Bidenomics was that they didn't spend enough.
I mean, it's absolutely bonkers.
But the problem is, it's not an economic policy.
It is, you know...
A call to class warfare.
They're saying, you know, soak the rich.
But the problem is their proposals don't help the working class either.
It's not an economic plan.
It is an attempt to disincentivize productivity and punish economic success.
And it will put us in a hole we cannot get out of.
You know, why have global central banks been buying record quantities of gold for the last two and a half years?
You know, what are they seeing?
What's making them do that rather than other options?
Probably because they're holding US dollars and they're watching an administration running $2 trillion deficits, destroying the value of those dollars, and they're trying to seek alternatives.
And they've been dumping dollars and buying gold for the simple reason that gold and the dollar have an inverse relationship.
So when central banks are betting on gold at record levels, it is a bet against the US dollar and the trajectory that it's heading on.
And so with all of this inflation, obviously, that also factors in, right?
Because that dollar becomes worth a lot less, while gold seems to be the hedge against that.
It's exactly correct.
I mean, there's a reason gold's up almost 30% for the year.
It's being driven by inflation and currency devaluation.
The more spending we see, the more inflation we'll see, and the bigger the problem.
Well, Philip, thank you as always.
Thanks for coming back. Guys, don't forget to check out our great sponsors at Birch Gold.
We'll continue following all of this and we'll keep giving you the recap.

Speak Your Mind America, Rob Schneider.
Rob, thanks a lot for joining me on this.
It's great to have you here.
Thank you, Don. Good to be there.
And congratulations for your man last night, J.D. Vance.
There was a sense of calm and a sense of intelligence and a sense of love of country.
It was more than just reassuring.
I would say you felt like, oh, there you go.
I get it now. Yeah, listen.
Yeah, I've seen the full spectrum of political hostility, so it was nice to see sort of that level of dialogue.
And for me, you know, as someone who sort of went all in for JD a few years ago and then for the VP slot, you know, against...
You know, some rather powerful forces on the Republican side and some big money donors and, you know, the usual sort of neocon, you know, guys.
You know, it was a really vindicating moment.
But I think it was also interesting because, you know, you've been someone really critical of the media and, you know, some of the nonsense that's out there.
You know, if you didn't know him, you'd be like, wait a minute, that's not the guy that they made him seem to be.
You know, he's this hostile, you know...
Trump Jr. kind of guy.
And he's actually, he's not.
That's actually who he is.
So it was a pretty epic moment.
It really was. It was almost like a step back in time for diplomacy.
It felt like you had someone...
And I felt like it was disarming also to the opposition party.
And I don't know how else to describe the Democrats as anything else but the opposition party.
And I just don't think that they know how to handle someone like a J.D. Vance.
And it was really good because I would say not just the future of the...
Republican Party, but the future of America as a leader to move this country, you know, as Kamala likes to say, forward, which is really backwards.
Exactly. You know, it's funny watching, you know, I see Tim Walsh up there and like JD's talking and he's like, yeah, he's right.
I'm like, it was the worst optics ever.
And it was also an interesting role reversal in the sense that, you know, you have this You know, old sort of politician up there against, you know, this young, vibrant, articulate, charismatic guy.
And it was like, it's sort of the opposite.
The Democrats always had the young guys.
And now we actually finally have a young and talented bench.
And whether that's JD or Vivek or, you know, other people, you know, it's really cool to see, you know, that switch.
And I think that's long overdue as well.
I think what you're really saying, and Robert Kennedy was saying it the other day, was this is the party of the people now, is the Republican Party.
I mean, if you look at the high tech, and I trust Robert Kennedy when he comes up with numbers, and he said to me something that seems stunning, that 70% of all the money Whether it's big tech and hedge companies and whether it's Facebook and all that, it's all owned, 70% of it.
70% of America is owned by the Democrats.
So the idea that they're somehow pushing as they're the party for the people, it's just...
It just doesn't come out in the wash.
It doesn't come out. And the party of the people now, and that's why it's important to show someone with the poise and the grace and the love of country, like J.D. Vance last night, it really was a coming out party for him.
I hate to say rebranded, but like...
The Democratic Party is so far removed from representing the average American now that I think it's very daunting for them.
That's why they have to do all these machinations of bringing in 20 million people.
What, 11 to 15 or 20?
What difference does it make? Who even knows?
I know there's 13,000 murderers in that group.
There were 600,000 criminals.
There were 16,000 literally convicted sex offenders and rapists.
If you're replacing an existing population with that, that's a serious problem.
And so our party got rid of...
Liz and Dick Cheney.
And we got Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
And I'm like, that's the greatest trade in the history of trades.
I never thought I'd be saying this, but what's going on?
I'm going to steal that from you.
That's a good trade.
It's a really good trade.
I was like, you guys can, and by the way, Tim Walsh was bragging about, you know, Dick Cheney's on our side last night.
Like, literally last night, I'm like, I mean, hasn't your party been calling him, like, literally a, you know, a warmonger and a war criminal for the last, like, 25 years?
We got the guy responsible for a million Iraqi deaths.
Yeah, that's Trump derangement syndrome.
So, you know, it's been fascinating to see.
And I've gotten to spend, like you, some time with RFK Jr.
Over the last few months, I was kind of, you know, instrumental.
I'm friends with, you know, really good friends with his son's really close friend.
And we sort of back-channeled that because I was like, you know what?
We may not actually agree on everything.
But, like, you're really good at certain things.
You get a skill set, a knowledge base.
Like, you know, why don't we, like, make our kids healthier?
Like, I have five young kids.
I don't want them growing up with this crap.
I know when I go to Europe, you know, I don't feel as sick as when I eat here if I have a big meal.
So it's fascinating to see that all.
No, it is. Um...
You know, how boring would it be to only have friends who agree with you and have anybody push you?
I mean, if you think about Lincoln's cabinet, they had a very low regard for Abraham Lincoln when he took office.
And, you know...
I think nine days after he was inaugurated, the South seceded.
I mean, the Buchanan left.
He said, I leave Washington, D.C. as the last president of the United States.
So, I mean, he had his work cut out for him.
And this is going to be a...
Some really good people around your father.
Yeah, I'm excited about it.
It's a good change. And this time around, like the first time you come in, you don't know anything about D.C. This time around, we know who the bad actors are.
So you can really get so much more done.
That's the one sort of disadvantage of coming in with, you know, having spent like two days of his life in Washington, D.C. prior to becoming the president of the United States for my father.
Yeah, it's hard not to. I mean, I could see how he could have, why he would trust, like, whether it was Burks or Francis and Fauci.
I mean, they'd been there forever, it seemed like.
And unfortunately, it's the guys that have been there forever that you can't trust.
Yeah. That's why I always say, like, Fauci was like, you know, if my father would have gone against him early in these things, he was sort of vocal towards it, but, like, he would have been impeached in 30 seconds with 100% Republican consent, because he's the guy that's been there forever.
It's like, well, he hasn't been right since, like, 1984.
Yeah. But you couldn't go against that grant.
The press would have murdered him.
But this time around, you know, Fauci wasn't ever a good doctor.
He was just a better bureaucrat.
He'd snake anyone that got in his way.
He'd pull their research grants if they didn't just go along with him, even if what they were saying was 100% right and what he was pushing was insane.
If anyone of your listeners out there, too, just really want to know what kind of...
This entity, Anthony Fauci, is Robert Kennedy did a deep dive.
It's completely factually all from existing verifiable, whether it's studies or the government documents, the real Anthony Fauci.
And you could really see what, you know, what his, his biggest thing was not trying to help America
get healthier.
It was just literally grabbing as much money as he could and working to represent industry.
And that's what's really interesting coming forward now.
And what I think the most unique opportunity we've had in potentially in my lifetime since JFK.
And I was just, you know, only alive for like a month that administration unfortunately.
But you have here now an opportunity where, you know, your dad's not going to have to worry about...
You know, 2028, as far as having to run again.
So he's going to have a chance to really put in some policies to reverse some of the things we had here.
And so when you talk to your dad about this, what are some of the stuff that he wants to do that I think?
And first of all, bringing in Robert Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard is going to be really helpful to getting policy out and advocating for policy.
Listen, so much of it is about just sort of reforming that bureaucracy, getting rid of these bad actors who, you know, create problems only they can solve.
It's not that they're good at anything else, but they're good at controlling that information.
You know, you see that whether it's in healthcare, whether it's with the FDA, whether it's at HSS, whether it's in our intelligence agencies at this point, whether it's in our military.
And then again, bringing a little bit of the strength and resolve, you know, that he had under his administration.
You know, whether you liked everything he said or not, like, Russia wasn't invading their neighbors because when America led with strength, Everyone else sort of stayed in check.
You didn't have Iran, not just through proxies, but as we saw three days ago, actually firing its own missiles into Israel.
That stuff didn't happen under Trump.
And so when we've been leading with weakness, it creates a serious problem, not just for America, but for the entire world.
And I think we just want to bring all of that back and try to reform these things as best you can in a rather excessively bloated and bureaucratic system.
We had something mentioned last night that was...
I couldn't imagine that it would even...
It was mentioned last night, J.D. Vance brought it up, and I thought he spoke the most eloquently about it, about any party or any politician, because I didn't think the last 20, 30 years, five years, that any politician would need to talk about it.
And that was for the continuation of our First Amendment rights, Yeah.
Which that, you know, his opponent calls a waltz called a privilege.
Yeah, I mean, you know, and he wants to put limitations on it.
And John Kerry last week was saying, well, you know, we got to put some limitations on this to prevent disinformation.
It's like, well, what was disinformation?
I mean, you told me I got censored and shut down for saying that, hey, guys, like the Wuhan...
Virus probably started in the lab in Wuhan at Ground Zero that studies the exact virus.
No, no, no. Fauci said it didn't.
Well, of course it did. It was always the most plausible response.
But that's really scary.
And you've been really vocal about those First Amendment protections.
And I'm sort of an absolutist on myself.
That doesn't mean... There aren't consequences.
You say certain things and, hey, people, hey, they don't buy your book, whatever it may be, but you have the right to say whatever it is that you want.
Even Waltz, there's a continuation of this fallacy about this yell fire in a crowded theater.
That is not actually what the Chief Justice said.
Yeah. That was actually overturned with nine to nothing, I think, even with Ginsburg on the court and reformed a few times from the beginning.
So you're right. The term is falsely yell fire in a crowded theater.
If there is a fire, you do yell.
Get out. So we have the attack on the First Amendment and the idea that somehow there's an entity that would be better We're good to go.
I hope this becomes prophetic, that we need to kick these, you know, censorious Democrats to the curb, not just for one term, but for three.
And so we're only allowed to have two parties.
You saw what happened to Robert Kennedy.
Now, I mean, you know, your father, Donald Trump, had seven lawsuits in total, I think one just as long as a month ago.
But Robert Kennedy had nine.
Yeah. So you have like, that is how that they function.
They function. It's anything to remain power.
It's anything that questions the status quo.
And when they are, when they get exposed, like when Zuckerberg came out and said that he actually apologized for colluding, the real collusion wasn't with your father and with Russia.
It's with big tech And it's with the Democratic Party, whether it be Hillary Clinton and paying for Russia, Russia, Russia.
And so what you had when it was exposed, thankfully, thank God for Elon Musk and pray for his safety.
You really had, when it was exposed, that the Democrats worked with tech companies.
And we had the Twitter files.
And when they went to the only place, you know, of course, the Senate, if it's in control of the Republicans, they don't care about censorship.
They don't care about, you know, so we're going to have to wait for the Republicans to take over.
But in the House, when we're able to have hearings, instead of correcting this...
This egregious violation of First Amendment rights, silencing doctors, scientists, and academics who all turned out to be right.
And I'm talking about Pierre Corey, talking about Budakaria, Peter McCullough.
Instead of making a correction, what does the Democratic Party do?
They double down.
They double down, exactly.
And they attack... Matt Taibbi and Michael Schellenberg.
Yeah, they actually tried suing, even after they got caught with all of that, they tried suing to allow the continued collusion with big tech.
So it took the Attorney General, now the Governor of Louisiana, Jeff Landry, working with now Senator Eric Schmidt, who was the Attorney General in Missouri, to literally sue the government.
Like, no, you can't just keep doing it.
So, you know, they're all for free speech as long as you agree with them 100%.
The second you diverge a little bit...
You're cut off, you're censored, and you're shut down.
So yeah, you're right. Thank God for Elon Musk because all the stuff that we're finding out right now, we'd never even see.
It would come out six months later, like all good and true conspiracy theories these days.
The difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth, and I think you've said the same thing as I've been saying for years, is about six months.
These days it's about six minutes because it's a lot faster with X and TrueSocial and other platforms to finally get it out there, but you'll never get it from the mainstream.
When we talk about it, In my book, I go into detail about free speech, and it isn't the stuff you agree with that needs...
It isn't the nice stuff that needs protection.
It's the stuff you don't like.
It's the stuff you don't want to hear.
It's the stuff your government doesn't want to hear.
And when you go back to really the...
Why the Founding Fathers put the First Amendment in, it wasn't because, for any other reason, that even before firearms, they thought the real weapon against tyranny is speaking your mind, that unfettered free speech, the right to air grievances against your government, and to assemble to air grievances against your government.
They put that first.
I mean, they could have put guns first, but they put that, but then they put guns very closely after that to ensure...
Yeah, it's not like some random afterthought.
Like, it was... The Democrats would like you to believe that it was some random afterthought.
Second is also there for a reason.
These are very young guys, too, at that time.
These are guys who were 21, 25.
These weren't ancient, old members of society.
It's the stuff that you don't like that needs protection the most.
I'm glad that That JD spoke about it so eloquently last night, because you do see it under attack.
And that's why it's important. To me, the biggest, the frightening thing that, when you talk about John Kerry at the World Economic Forum, who gives two craps about the World Economic Forum?
I don't care what that Nazi Klaus Schwab says, the son of a Nazi.
This guy is, this totalitarian crap is, And the Democrats love it.
They love this elitist and getting behind these organizations.
And that was the thing that I really admired about your father, and that when he disassociated the United States from the World Health Organization, which is a corrupt organization.
Paid off by China. Yeah.
And that they want to give and run by China.
Run by China and a man named Bill Gates.
And I hope that your dad doesn't listen to Bill Gates this time.
Because unfortunately, it's hard not to, you know, when all the pressure that your dad was under the first administration.
And I got some listening to your dad was...
In November of 2019, there were some rumblings happening.
And I just think that the pressure and the that got to him, because I think he if he
would have trusted his gut, he would have never allowed the shutting down of America.
So getting rid of the World Health Organization was great.
And I hope that he does it again, because the idea that any group of people, any leaders of
the United States would sign an agreement handing over our sovereignty to any any other nation,
any other group of nations or any other organization that they would have somehow
any controls or any decisions over what happens in the United States is is traitorous.
And that's what the Democratic Party and the Biden administration would like to do.
We can never hand over. As far as pandemics and and scourges and they had a smallpox
outbreak and a scarlet fever outbreak during the during the American Revolution.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Have taken away those executive powers from the governors.
There's been no legislation to back away from that in any of the states.
So, you know, Governor Gruesome Newsome could do it again tomorrow if he wants.
He could shut churches like he did and keep open the strip clubs and weed stores and shut down small businesses.
Starbucks is fine.
That's a necessity. But the mom and pop coffee shop across the street.
They don't have their lobbyists in Washington, D.C., or in the capital of California, so therefore they get to get shut down.
It devastated restaurants. There are 10,000 restaurants that will never come back.
There are 41% of African-American businesses that are gone or may never, ever come back.
So the devastation we're going to feel, and for children in schools, Who can forget the trying to squeeze masks, the videos, the cruel child abuse of trying to put masks on two-year-olds at daycare centers?
That, to me, was the most disgusting thing.
And, you know, if I would ask anything, if I had a magic ball and they said, okay, and the Trump-Vance administration...
You could do one thing.
What would that do? And I said, okay, my one wish, if it's a genie lamp or whatever, let's get rid of the Department of Education.
Well, I'm with you.
The disaster that that caused.
The only good thing, by the way, the only good thing I'll say about the shutdown...
Was that finally parents got to walk by their kids as they're on their laptops at school, and they got to witness the indoctrination that was happening and has been happening for years, but they finally got to see it for themselves and say, oh, what's going on here?
That may be the only positive that came out of it because they realized, you know, our kids aren't learning how to read and they can't do math, but they know the 5,376 genders.
Yeah, if I had a dollar for every gender, I'd have two dollars.
Yeah. Yeah. So, Rob, how did you end up being the guy in Hollywood who's standing up for free speech?
I mean, did you ever think the things that you're saying, which all seem like very basic common sense to me, would be somehow controversial?
Wow. That's a big one.
Thank you for that, by the way.
I love this country and I love my kids.
You know when you have kids and the attack on J.D. Vance talking about how people who have kids, suddenly their investment in this country.
Well, I would say that everyone, you don't have to have kids to care about your country.
Yeah.
Yeah. And like the fact that, stunning to me, is that you had in California, it started with Obama really in 2013 when they changed the law to whereas there was legislation where you could,
where the American agencies could now propagandize in America.
I mean it's one thing overseas, but in America Against American interests.
That was new.
And so I saw a sliding of tyranny there.
And then you saw that the government could make decisions more than the parents.
And the parents would have to do what the government decided for their education.
And I saw that in school.
So in other words, when it was like...
In 2012, the NIH gave out a statistic which was absolutely stunning.
the National Institutes of Health announced that 54% of our children in America, the future of this country,
the most precious members of our society, suffer now from chronic diseases.
12% of those neurological diseases like ADHD, autism, which is brain damage,
that were unheard of just a few short decades ago.
And at a certain point, you can't unsee that.
And so I spoke out about that at the time, was viciously attacked, and then realized that,
well, the pharmaceutical companies are the biggest donors to the political class, and not just the federal level
for congressmen, for federal congressmen, and for representatives, and for state senators,
but I mean, at the federal level and for the senators, but also in the state.
And they also write the laws for the medicals.
Yeah. For the medical boards.
It is so corrupt.
You have 85%, up to 85% of ads, straight to consumer ads for drugs.
Only two countries in the world allow that.
It's New Zealand and the United States.
And so, you know, my dad had 12 drugs that he was taking at the time of his death at 68, which I didn't think that helped his life.
So you have, we spend five times more for medical care We do the same with education.
We spend more per capita per child, but we still perform like number 29 in the world while spending more per pupil.
This has to be a change now.
So when you speak up about it, instead of – the Democratic Party attacked me viciously because they're in the pockets of – as well as most Republicans in Congress.
They take the money too, and they spend most of their time worrying about getting reelected.
So when I was attacked for that, for believing that these children were fine and they went to go get a bunch of – Of approved, medically approved, doctor approved shots.
And all of a sudden they went from talking and going way above where they're supposed to be at that age to not being vocal anymore and having chronic problems.
And I grew up, but there was no peanut allergies when I was a kid.
So what's happening to our kids?
So our food is poison.
They do not need to get 72 different doses of...
Of 16 different vaccines in their lifetime, in their childhood.
They don't need that. And I think 52 of those is before the age of six.
And so they just do it because the parents are scared and they got to get in there early.
The first shot in the first 48 hours, most of the time, 24 hours, is this hepatitis B shot, which is sexually transmitted for sexual transmission for diseases.
And if your mother doesn't have it, Then you don't need it.
So this was happening, and you're seeing these kids getting just wiped out.
And if one kid, these mothers came to me because I was listening to them, and they said, well, my one kid has autism.
He has brain damage.
And they won't let my other, his sibling, who has the same genetic makeup, who's just as susceptible to getting the same thing, and they won't let him go to school unless he has all these.
And so at a certain point, you have medical tyranny.
And that woke up and I said, if that is going to be the sacrifice, if I could step up now and speak up, because I realized where the future of this would lead, that the pharmaceutical industry could shut down and did shut down the world because that's how much power they have.
And so if, you know, I had already made, at that point, you know, what can they take away movies I used to make?
I mean, you either stand for something or you stand for nothing.
And it's not party.
The reason I'm with you now, I supported Robert Kennedy.
And in the back of my mind, I was always hoping that he would stop the campaign at a certain
point and support your father.
And I'm very proud of him that he did that, because that's the best way to move forward,
to make change, to make America healthy again, is to do that.
And so if any individual sacrifices, it's nothing.
Your dad got, they tried to murder him two times at least.
And I'm grateful for his wanting to do this, because your dad doesn't need this.
He doesn't need... But you don't need to be vocal either, right?
You've had a great career in Hollywood.
I mean, sort of the great irony, I've enjoyed your comedy for years, some of the characters you play, you know, back when, you know, I don't want to offend any friends you may have there still today, but, you know, back when Saturday Night Live was funny, I mean, you were there with some of the legends of, you know, my youth growing up, whether it's Sandler or Farley or these guys, and...
They just made fun of Kamala Harris and how easy she got it.
Maybe they're coming back around.
Because I'd love to hear your thoughts on comedic censorship, too.
It's an institution. Like all institutions, like the establishment, you know...
You can. It's corruptible.
And the woke thing, what happens is everyone's susceptible to it.
And I think we all were. When you hear things like social justice, well, who wouldn't be for social justice?
You know, equity. Well, who wouldn't want equity?
But what happens is these are woke, which is just communism redressed as manners.
These are Trojan horse.
I like that. I'm stealing that one.
Yeah, these are Trojan horse terms.
They sound really good, but inside it, you go, wait a minute.
These are, you know, the Trojan horse terms, social justice.
But these are boys competing against girls, and girls are getting injured now.
I mean, these people don't know what bathroom to use.
That was the one thing I was waiting for, J.D., to throw a little Molotov cocktail, a verbal Molotov cocktail.
Yeah, I think he was doing so well.
At that point, it was just, you know, dancing on a grave.
And so I think he didn't need to go, you know, that far...
He's better than me.
He needs to be in that position.
I would not have shown that restraint.
He was beautiful. So, I mean, comedies also can be, at a certain point, and I talk about it in my book, that you can do it, and it's out now.
I've got to send you one of these.
I know, I've got to do it. It's corruptible.
So you have like at one point during COVID, you have it now where all the late night guys, and that's why the late night guys aren't number one anymore.
It's Greg Gutfeld, the liberal guys.
Because you can see like Jimmy, whether it's Jimmy Fallon or Jimmy Kimmel or Steve Colbert...
Those guys, all the late night jokes were all interchangeable.
You can just shove it, take it out of this monologue.
There's no individuality.
They weren't questioning the system.
They weren't actually questioning power.
They were just regurgitating.
And the low point for me in the 21st century, the low point for comedy of the 21st century, was Stephen Colbert having dancing syringes.
Just trying to indoctrinate America to do something against their conscience.
That was despicable.
And I think that comedic imposition, the political indoctrination through comedic imposition was despicable.
And that was the low point of it.
And that's why you see people are sick of it.
So people want to come see my show and hopefully they'll want to read the book.
Because it's talking about what we really...
What has made this country the exception that it is, and Alexander de Tocqueville talked about it when he came over in 1837, is the thing that really amazed him, he called it the habits of the heart, was these farmers, these poor farmers...
These guys who had no power, but they felt, because by that time in the 1830s, the late 1830s, the tradition of free speech was such that they felt completely free to critique and call their leaders idiots and goofballs or whatever.
And these are dirt poor farmers.
And the individualism that he had, which he also gave as a warning.
could lead to fractionism.
It can be, you know, fractioned.
And that's what's happening.
You have these different, you know, that has been now these groups,
these little groups, even within our party.
It's so important to get our people there and to get people on the side
to realize, like, look, this is what this is.
And that's why I was excited to come on your program, because we need to talk to people outside of our group.
And I was talking to my very, very liberal-leaning entertainment attorney in Los Angeles, and I was talking to him about a project that he's doing.
And he called me and said, out of the blue, he said, hey, five years ago, I thought you were nuts, but then I can't believe the stuff they're teaching my kid.
And his kid goes to a private school.
I said, well, wait a minute. If you're lucky enough to get your kid to a private school, and it's still crazy, well, let me tell you, we need to care about education because most of the stuff that's going on is in public schools, and that's where most of our kids are going to be entertained.
But I said, do you agree that there should be these people?
If you see what's happening in Aurora, Colorado, with these Venezuelan gangs coming, you say, yeah, that's terrible.
Do you see what the censorship's happening in Zuckerberg?
Even in Yeah, that's terrible.
Do you see what, you know, these forever wars and that they're still pushing this, whereas Donald Trump wants to end it?
Yeah, we should end it.
Are you going to vote for Donald Trump?
I still can't go there.
Those people you can't help.
You can't help them. But you can help people to get over the fence and say, this is what we're really talking about here.
We need a continuation of bringing freedom to this next generation.
This brainwashing that's happening at the university level, and I tell everybody, if you have kids in school now, by the way, how much would you have to hate your kid to send them to Harvard undergrad?
By the way, I went to Penn and I watched the congressional testimony of the president of Penn saying they couldn't condemn literally the Chanting, you know, in favor of women and children being raped in the streets after October 7th.
I'm saying, hey man, I have a feeling that 20 years ago, 25 years ago, when I graduated Penn, you know, if I made fun of a trans kid, like, I'd get thrown out of school in two seconds.
And, you know, there's a difference between free speech and the code of conduct of the university.
So when people like these say, it's like, where'd you go to school?
I was like, I didn't.
Because, like, you know, a degree that was once, you know, proudly on my wall, I couldn't care less about.
Well, what you have here is you have the manipulation that's happening.
These are bad faith actors.
The bad faith actors, I mean, our system of freedom and our system of free speech does
make us susceptible.
And also when you have people that cloak terms in this whole idea of, again, the great Thomas
Sowell who wrote The Fallacy of Social Justice, he really explains this, that these bad faith
actors that they get in there, and also James Lindsay from New Discourses, bad faith actors
are manipulating this system.
And they're in it very high levels.
You see, what happened was that communism and Marxism, communism was not working as
far as the revolution in the West didn't happen because capitalism works.
It makes your life better.
And it makes your children's life better.
And you could afford the American dream, which is to simply own a home.
So what happened was the Marxists, there was two revolutions that Mao did.
The first one was, everybody knows, in 1949 against Chiang Kai-shek.
But the second revolution was 1966 and was the Cultural Revolution, where it was to unburden
the society from what has been.
Sounds familiar.
It sounds familiar.
That is direct Marxism.
It is to get rid of the four olds, which were culture and the tradition and these things
that have made ideas.
And to get rid of everything in its past and start over.
And so for everyone watching who doesn't get it, that's literally Kamala Harris's catchphrase.
I mean, it's literally out of like the Maoist playbook.
She says that today for people who may not have made that connection.
I mean, that's literally how the cultural revolution in China started.
That was the beginning of communism over there.
She's using it. People are like, oh, that's such a novel idea, not understanding the historical significance of it all.
No, we want to keep the traditions that have made this country great.
Yeah. She says, we're not going back.
It's like, going back? You're the one who's been in control for the last three and a half years.
No, we do want to go back.
We want to go back where women have their safe spaces.
We want to go back where we have closed borders.
We need immigration in this country.
We do. We need to know who the hell's coming in.
Correct. And that's why, like, can you imagine the ICE statistics that came out this week?
Can you imagine if that would have been a Republican administration doing that?
Can you imagine for one second if any of their, they thought that there was a decent percentage of these people coming in that they were going to vote Republican?
They would close that border in eight seconds.
Yeah. In aggregate, almost 30,000 rapists and murderers allowed in.
And these are ice statistics.
This is from Homeland Security.
That's how much they hate this administration.
That's how much they hate the administration.
It was the only time that they were going to get even with Kamala Harris and Joe Biden was to let that information out the second time she'd ever been at the border, as the borders are.
So the new book, it sounds like, you know, you got some memoir in there.
It sounds like it's also a warning and perhaps a call to action.
You know, what are the major inflection points in your life that really brought all of this
to life?
Again, just say finally, you talked about 2013 and watching some of this.
Were there other examples?
I know you come from a Jewish father and a Filipino mother.
Did some of that come from those cultures as well that made you finally speak out against
this?
Because it feels like you of all people, it'd be so easy to sit back in Hollywood and like
everyone else there, they have their opinions, but they're behind their walls.
And fences and security.
When you get attacked and you survive, when you get attacked for telling the truth and
you survive and they didn't wipe you out, you get emboldened.
They made a mistake. The pharmaceutical industry that attacked me after I just told the truth, this is my one...
This is my revenge.
And the fact that this, I made my living by being able to speak my mind.
The idea and the freedoms that have allowed me to have a career, I'd like to pass that on to my kids.
What's happened to comedy because of that?
You know, stand-up comedy?
Comedy still, I mean, most comedians on Saturday Night Live always leaned toward a liberal because you're in your 20s.
You don't know. The old saying is, if you're not a liberal in your 20s, you're heartless.
But if you're still a liberal in your 50s, you're an idiot.
So you really have a capture.
And that's what's so exciting about your father and this term and the fact that it's going to be a one term and he's going to have a chance to get in there and then hopefully we'll have another two terms with J.D. Vance and with Tulsi Gabbard as vice president.
In some way in there.
It's because you have the capture of academia.
And I witnessed this in California.
The capture of K-12.
Because when the Marxists came in, as I talked about, they knew they weren't going to be able to take over the revolution with the workers.
So what did they do, Don?
They got into education.
They went in and they infiltrated it.
And the infiltration of academia that they saw started around 1970.
In these 20-year marks, by 1990 it was complete at academia.
But then they also wanted to get into K-12.
And so that's what they've done.
And what they really, really want to do, and now they have it, now it's out.
You know, you have these people who, whether they know it or not, but they're speaking this communism.
And, you know, Harris knows it because her father was a communist.
Her father was a Marxist. He taught communism.
He taught Marxism at Stanford University.
And when he resigned and left, he insisted that they keep that going.
And that was when Marxism at that time was, obviously, people knew that it didn't work and it killed millions and tens of millions of people.
But they kept it as kind of like an ideological curiosity at university.
But now, it's not been pushed aside.
It has been raised up as if it works.
Now, people like Zee Van Fleet, people like Yeomini Park from North Korea and from China...
Respectfully. These people know what real communism is in action, not theoretically talking.
It's the death of tens of millions of people because they promise, hey, you're going to have all this.
You're going to get the best farmland.
You're going to get you're going to get all the best.
You're going to get rice and you're going to have your own.
It's going to be great. We just have to get you have to give us your freedoms and your guns and then you're going to have everything.
And then when it doesn't work, because utopia is never delivered under communism, they go, yeah, well, we would get it if these people wouldn't, these are the ones that are stopping the utopia, and it's anybody who doesn't agree with the narrative or the government policies.
And so that would be, you know, in our government, it was like anyone who disagreed with COVID, anyone who wanted free speech, well, these are the bads.
So there's the goods and the bads, and they just attack people who don't go along with the system.
And that's what they're doing.
They know anyone who was against COVID, anyone who was trying to speak and different than
what the government narrative was in the last three and a half, almost four years, was censored.
You were like I was.
Yeah, all of us.
My mother fled communist Czechoslovakia, so I understood that early.
I spent my summers there and spoke the language fluently.
It's always interesting to me and fascinating to me, as much as they try to sell us on these
concepts here, you never see anyone who's actually lived under communism actually advocate
for it here.
People who fled behind the Iron Curtain, people from China, people from North Korea.
When they come here, no one's ever like, you know what, what was really great?
Like, what I fled from.
And yet, you know, the Democrat Party and the people who never lived under it, you know, seem to advocate for it very strongly.
That was always a great irony to me.
It is, it is. I mean, Xi Van Fleet, who grew up in communist China, she's saying what you guys are doing now is the dismantling of your freedoms.
What you're doing is exactly what happened in the Cultural Revolution under Mao.
If you don't listen to these people, then we're in danger of giving up these freedoms.
Now here's really what the cost is and why I wrote this book and why I felt like I needed to stand up against this and speak freely and speak your mind.
The idea that somehow, and I talk about it in the book, you can do it, is that the idea that these liberties were given to us They were not.
They were earned through blood.
The sacrifices that our founding fathers make and the people who, when you ever visit Arlington Cemetery or any cemetery, you realize this was not, these were not given.
These were earned and continuing to be earned.
I mean, 108 billion people have been alive.
That's what modern science tells us.
108 billion people have walked this earth.
Of those 108 billion, very few have lived under unfettered freedom and free speech.
That is the beacon call of freedom throughout the world.
Because Canada doesn't have it.
Not like us. And the UK doesn't.
I have comedians now that I'm flying in to work with my new company.
Because they don't have free speech anymore.
They had a guy that was arrested for his dog doing a trick that looked like it was a Hitler
salute.
So he got arrested for that.
Now that's maybe ugly or disrespectful, but it certainly shouldn't be illegal.
So we really, really need to know about the sacrifices that we got, that got us here.
Now, that amount of freedom, if we allow it to continue to be encroached, if we listen to the John Kerry's and the Tim Walsh's and Kamala Harris's, and we say, you know what, we need a group of people, and it's always going to be the government.
I think we're good to go.
I mean, you saw what happened during COVID. They were able to shut us down.
They were able to censor us.
And so they would do it again if they could.
That's why it's so important to reach out to those independents and say, listen, this country to remain our freedom, we really need to elect Donald Trump as our next president and bring in J.D. Vance.
That is so important.
You know, it's interesting.
You spoke about Canada and the UK. And, you know, honestly, prior to COVID, I was like, you know what?
They're probably just like us.
They kind of have freedom. They have these things.
You know, I'd say Australia and New Zealand, you'd add them into the mix.
Then the reality is you saw just how draconian, you know, they were in their implementation of their policies.
You now see people going to jail for two years for misgendering someone in the UK. You know, Irish people were thrown in jail or they wanted to throw him in jail for saying Irish lives matter in Ireland.
I mean, I don't know.
It feels like they should probably matter.
I think all lives could also matter in Ireland, but apparently that was the one that was offensive.
You have to have unfettered free speech and it's got to be speech.
And the thing is, they don't have that tradition.
That's why people aren't swimming away from America.
They're not trying to climb over the fence to get out.
The boats only go one way, Rob.
They're coming here.
And Rob, you bring up the Canadian truckers, and I'm so glad you brought that up, because you could see what the tyrant, the cold northern tyrant that we have...
Our neighbor to the north, Justin Trudeau, is a tyrant, is a dictator.
When you can, and what they did, they had peaceful protesters.
And instead of trying to negotiate, and instead of – and I'm grateful to them because they taught Americans how to fight again and how to really – Stand up again.
And they drove all the way across country.
And instead of trying to say, well, maybe these people, they have a right to protest and then let's talk to them and negotiate.
What does he do? He shuts down their bank accounts.
He freezes the money that was donated to help them.
And he puts them in jail and calls them terrorists.
Freedom fighters, he calls terrorists.
That's what you're dealing with. And it's not that far removed from what they called the names that I was called for opposing these draconian COVID restrictions in 2021.
I mean, I was called a Everything.
And so you have this Democratic Party needs to get trounced, not just lose a little bit.
They need to get trounced so that they can come back to being.
Look what happened after Reagan, two terms of Reagan and one term of Bush.
You had a very, you know, a tail between their legs.
Democratic Party go, no, we're pro death penalty.
You know, super predators, Clinton.
And that's what you had.
And you had a party that realized we had to come close to what was offered, which was prosperity, which was low taxes, which was, if you were a criminal, you were going to go to jail.
And now we have veered so far off to not caring about this globalist craziness, and they have to get trounced this time.
And they will, if it's a completely fair election.
Well, that... We got to overwhelm it.
To win by one, we got to win by five.
That's what I say. Because I assume they're going to play games.
How come Bolivia and Nigeria can find out the same day and have to show their ID? And somehow that's racist here.
You know, there is a point beyond lunacy.
There is a point.
We're very close, if not more so.
Yeah, well, that lunacy and tyranny is just nuts.
Do you have friends in Hollywood in similar positions that are maybe finally coming to you and saying, hey, I'm not asking to out them, but are people being like, you know what, maybe it's gone too far?
And again, I know for a lot of people, that's their livelihood.
My dog agrees with you. My dog is agreeing.
Yes. Yes.
I do. We do.
I have people calling me now who thought, you know, who thought that they didn't see it.
And because it didn't affect them.
And I was saying, like, you know, it's easy for Oprah to say that, you know, that there, you know, there is this system of white supremacism in America from her gated community as a billionaire.
I mean, what they want to do, as in War on the West by Douglas Murray says, is they want you to say that while things have never been better, as far as race in America, it's never been better.
We had a black president elected two times.
And while it's obviously been never better, they want to convince you it's never been worse.
So people are waking up to it.
I do have people in Hollywood who call me, and I will tell you one.
He's... A son of an Academy Award winning actor.
And he said, I wish I could speak up like you could.
And I said, I just worry that it's going to cost me.
I won't get hired again.
And I said, you know, you got to be careful because you're right.
They don't want to hire anyone who speaks out.
They don't want any controversy, but it's going to cost you money, but it's going to cost you more to not speak out.
You just have to be judicious about it.
Don't put it on Facebook. Facebook's captured.
Don't talk to the executive at your streaming service.
But talk. Talk to your neighbors.
Talk to the guy driving you to set.
Talk to your makeup lady. Talk to the guy who's putting on your microphone in the morning.
Talk to people. We need to get across to people.
Not people who are ideologically already captured.
We need to get to people who are open-minded and realize there is a real threat to the republic.
And more than anything else now is we need to buttress these foundational principles that made our country great.
And it is going to cost you.
It's going to cost. I mean, the last chapter of my book, what has cost the people who spoke their mind and what they gave up.
And it's the founding fathers.
I mean, how they gave up all their money, how they gave up their...
You know, they were the threat of being hanged and imprisoned, whether it was Francis Lewis.
These are one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence.
Lewis had his home destroyed and his wife taken prisoner by British forces.
She died shortly after being released.
Richard Stockton, New Jersey.
Stockton was captured and imprisoned by the British, who devastated his estate and confined him in the inhumane prison, Provost Jail in New York, where he was starved and brutalized.
John Hart, New Jersey.
Hart was forced into hiding, during which his farm was destroyed, his wife died, and he never saw his children again.
Lewis Morton, New York, another signer of the Declaration of Independence.
Morris' entire estate was seized and his family was homeless.
His entire wealth was spent on the Revolution.
Now, we don't have to sacrifice everything, but sometimes we may have to.
Because people did sacrifice everything for our continued freedom.
And this is something that we are called upon now to do.
So I'm grateful for your father.
I'm grateful for his sacrifice.
I'm grateful for you and your family, for you speaking your mind.
And we need...
We need to have four years of Donald Trump and then another eight from J.D. Vance.
Well, like I said, I appreciate that.
I really appreciate you just, you know, candidly having the balls to say these things.
Again, you know, I think I have a pretty good—have gotten a pretty good taste of what— You know, the lawfare, the consequence of having that voice and or just standing up and not going along with that system.
So, you know, I get it as well as everyone, but the more people that become unafraid, the more people that are willing to speak up, the harder it is for them to do it and to continue it.
And, you know, there is a point where if it gets too draconian, there's no coming back.
And I think we have to understand that.
We have to look at You know, where that's going on in the rest of the world.
And, you know, if you think it's coming back in China now with the advent of the security state and AI watching every person who could become a dissident, so, you know, they snuff out that voice before it, you know, could ever get to a multitude of people.
You know, that's scary stuff.
And we're not that far off, unfortunately.
I wish we were further away. We're one election away.
We're one election away. We're good to go.
Out of COVID. And I'll leave you with this, Don, that I would just tell people that just seem to think these rights are going to continue and that we're going to have, that these freedoms are guaranteed and that they could never be trampled on.
I will tell you this. It can be trampled on.
And you saw what happened. There will be no Marines coming to save, landing on the beaches from some other country to save our ass.
There will be no Marshall Plan coming to financially bail us out.
There will be no food drop.
We are our Marines.
We are our Marshall Plan.
And this is the line.
And we need to throw out this corrupt, anti-American administration.
And we need to start and we need to get your father reelected.
And we need to get J.D. Vance, Tulsi Gabbard, and Robert Kennedy in there with you.
Well, I appreciate you just being so vocal about it, man.
It means the world to us.
Rob, thank you so much.
