Kevin, thank you so much for your time. (Kevin Sorbo) My pleasure. Good to be here, sir. Great to have you. And obviously people can follow you @KSorbs on Twitter or X, whatever you want to call it. And it's always fascinating looking into the background of guests. And I had no idea you'd starred in over 150 commercials. I kind of see you as in the movie sector, in Hollywood. but 150 commercials and then over 100 films and TV shows and a voiceover in obviously many video games. And of course, you first shot the stardom back in the 90s in Hercules. And more later, you've, I guess, become known as a Christian in Hollywood for your role in God's Not Dead. And then we'll get on to the latest one, the latest two coming up, actually, Regan film where you play president Regan's pastor and the firing squad which I saw you discussing the firing squad and that intrigued me, but I actually never saw Hercules it wasn't something I actually saw when was younger. It's more your faith your Christian faith and how that's engaged with with the whole Hollywood industry but I mean that happened as a break art rule. You weren't a kid, you were a bit older. I'm wondering how you were ready for that fame. What was that like? Fame with Faith-Based Movies or Hercules? No, back in Hercules, because that was the breakout. So what was the fame like? Yeah, you know, initially it was going to be five two-hour movies, and it was part of a thing called the Action Pack Wheel at Universal Studios. And it was Hercules, it was Tech Wars, which Shatner was producing and directing on. It was Vanishing Sun, which is sort of a Kung Fu thing. They had BJ and the Bear, which was a big movie or a TV series at one time. They're going to make movies out of it. And there was one other thing. I can't remember what it was. But anyway, that's what it's going to be, five two-hour movies down in New Zealand. It was fantastic to be down there. Anthony Quinn played Zeus. So, I got a whole year working with, you know, Anthony Quinn from the golden age of Hollywood. You know, the guy was nominated six times for Oscars, won twice. And then halfway through the third movie, I get a call from my manager and said, Universal Studios loves what they see. They want to try to make it a TV series. Well, by season three, we were in 176 countries and became the most watched TV show in the world, which is crazy. And it ran for seven years. It's still out there in like 50 countries even to this day. I still get fan mail coming in through Sorbo Studios. That's always a good place to go, sorbostudios.com. But after that, I went straight into Andromeda and being a huge fan of the original Star Trek series through reruns. When Majel Roddenberry, Gene's widow called me up and said, you know, Gene wrote this show back in 1969. And if he were still around today, I think he'd be honored to have you as the first captain he ever created after Captain Kirk. So, I had five years on that show, shooting in Vancouver, Canada. So, I was pretty much out of America from 1993 till 2005, living in either New Zealand or Canada. And then I just started doing a bunch of independent movies. And that's kind of how the road sort of brought to where I am today. But it was sort of forced on me in a way because Hollywood, my manager and agent of decades, both said they couldn't work with me anymore about 10, 11 years ago because of what I was posting on the Internet. I said, oh, you mean the truth? was posting the truth on the Internet. God forbid you do that in today's world, apparently. So, I formed Sorbo Studios and said, I'm going to do movies that Hollywood used to do. They don't necessarily have to be faith movies, but just family-friendly and movies that have a good message instead of this woke crap that Hollywood wants to keep forcing down our throats. So, Hollywood booted me out. Apparently being a conservative is a horrible thing, but being a Christian in Hollywood is even worse. I'd be better off being a paedophile Islamic radical terrorist, and I'd probably get an Oscar for playing that in a movie. That does tick a few boxes, I understand. You had a health crisis back whenever you were filming Hercules. You had multiple strokes. What was that like? Because you obviously fought through that. You've come through stronger than ever. But what was that like at the time? Because you don't know what's happening to yourself if that is happening, that health issue. No, no, look, I'm everything opposite of what stroke victims have. They're overweight, alcohol, high blood pressure, All kinds of different things everything I was opposite of that. I was pretty ripped up on her Achilles ears I was in great shape, but I had an aneurysm way up here in my my left sub-clavicle. I didn't know about I always had weird things sort of feeling in the arm I couldn't figure what's going on, but ultimately that didn't being the problem when it opened up It sent hundreds of clots in tomorrow, but unfortunately a series of four clots from my brain and obviously very lucky I wasn't killed or paralyzed rest of my life, but it took me four months to really learn how to walk and balance again. I got my speech back fairly quickly, thank God. I still have a 10% loss of vision in both eyes, in the upper right quadrants of both eyes. So, yeah, it was brutal. It sucked, you know, because my career was really taken off. I just done my first big-budget movie called Call the Conqueror, which was the prequel to Conan the Barbarian. And we shot that for like $40 million over in Eastern Europe. So, yeah, it was a little frustrating. that this was taking place. And it obviously hurt me within the Hollywood world in terms of doing movies anymore, but they kept the Hercules going. I went from a 15, 16 hour day to about a three hour day just to try to keep the show going in any kind of way. But I appreciate that because it was, to me, it motivated me and gave me some light at the end of this really long, dark tunnel. I wrote a book. It's called True Strength. People can pick up a copy. It did very well in its first printing. And my wife and I did a follow-up book called True Faith. And all of a sudden, I got started doing all these speaking events, which I thought I'd never be doing. I do about 12 to 15 speaking events a year now for the last 12 years. I've already done five this year. I've got another seven lined up. So, it's sort of a sideline job for me that I never thought I'd be doing. It's been quite interesting. But the book is very motivational for people to stop blaming the world for your problems. God never promises an easy life. We'll always have obstacles. How do you get past those obstacles? The book has a lot of humor in it, it's autobiographical, and it's just, I think it's a good ride. It surprised me how well it went over the people. Obviously, you had two focals for you that helped you through that. You had, I think you were just a newly engaged at that time. I was. But you had, and I've met Sam numerous times, and she has a strong character. And obviously, you need that whenever you're going through that. But then your faith. I mean, tell us about kind of those two and how they work together to pull you through that difficult situation. Well, I think I went through what most people go through and they have something like that happen to them, because I think more than the physical aspect of it, the psychological aspect was huge for me because everything was cruising pretty well for me. And I was starting to break in to be the next big action hero guy for Universal Studios, sort of replacing Arnold Schwarzenegger. And to have that happen to me, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah. I went through that, you know, God, why me, you know, sort of thing. But, you know, the faith was there. I mean, I never stopped believing. I never stopped, you know, questioning what happened to me. Sam was tough. She's a top Pittsburgh, New York, New York gal. And every time I got down, she said, Kevin, it happened. What are you going to do about it? You know, so it was like, yeah, you know, stop blaming the world for your problems. The reality is look in the mirror. That's where you got to start. And I kept saying to myself every day, I'm getting better. I'm getting stronger every day. I kept saying to myself and I pushed through it. The first first two years really did suck. I'll be honest about it. I always said I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. And I go, I don't know, I'd give it to the Taliban. They can have it. But yeah it's like I just... The third year sort of started really some good things started happening I started getting some good hope and a lot it just really sort of the, recovery accelerated I still have side effects that I know like I said the blind I have spot and have each I'll be playing ping pong with my kids and sometimes the ball just disappears so that you know quarter of a second. So, I use that as an excuse so I didn't return the ball, but I still have balance issues that most people wouldn't be able to see because I still work out every day. I do cardio every day. I lift every day. Not like I did in Hercules, but I still work out every single day. I've already got my work on this morning before talking to you. And yeah, so to me, it's like you just got to fight on. ad things happen. That's the way life is. But I looked at it as a positive instead of a negative to push beyond and make myself better. I think the only other concerted Christian involved in Hollywood. I've ever sat on and talked to is Dwight Schultz. And he told me about his struggles as a Christian supporting Reagan, specifically that story and how he was kind of ostracized soon after. And you've talked about your faith and being cancelled because of that. Tell us more about that and why you choose God over career. Career because for some people that could be a difficult choice. Oh, no question. Look every movie I've been doing so I do about four or five movies independent movies a year. I've already shot two this year I got three more lined up and every movie I've been doing like I said about six last six seven years I I'll get another actor maybe, I'll get a director, I'll get a lighting person, I'll get a makeup, whatever they come up to me privately and say hey they look around like we're doing a drug deal. I say, hey, thanks for being a voice for us. And I'm going, you know, be a voice for yourself. People, but fear is an amazing weapon, you know, and every government in every country used it to control their lives during COVID, right? Every government used fear to control their lives. And I got taken, I lost 4 million followers on Facebook because I was posting the truth about COVID. I was posting what doctors in Europe were saying or doctors in other countries, really just saying, look what they're saying. Why can't we look at both sides of this? Why is ivermectin bad for you? Everything that I posted that they called misinformation or conspiracy theories, of course they all came true. And where is that Wussy Zuckerberg and my 4 million followers again? You know, these guys, they're just, they use it to control our lives. And there's so many people, I mean, I travel a lot and I still see that 1% still wearing masks. So they wear their liberal banner on their sleeve. And I want to stop them and not laugh at it, but I want to say, okay, you see 99% of the people around here not wearing masks. What goes through your brain when you're still covering your face? I mean, I want to find out that answer. I really do, because it's just incredible that the fear factor has been controlling so much of everything in the world. Now, you saw what New Zealand did, their prime minister. You saw what they did in Australia. It was bad enough here in America. We got the heck out of Dodge. We left we left California about a year and a half before this whole thing even started. We've been in Florida now for five and a half years and we barely wore masks here. The only time I really wore a mask in Florida is when I went to the airport and I'd have to be 10 people coming up to me that worked at the airport to say, please put your mask on before I finally did it. And then when I got on airplanes, I would have a bag of beef jerky and take it down and I'd eat for two hours. So, I found ways to get around this stupid thing. And now we realize even Fauci came out and said the six foot thing was made up. We all knew that. And the masking didn't do anything. And we all knew that. But guys like Fauci and Bill Gates should be in prison for what they've done to the world because we're still seeing those shots played out what they're doing to people's lives every single day, what it's doing. Anyway it's horrific what they did and they don't care they did it on purpose. Yeah, it's never ending and I find whenever I look at someone wearing a mask as they're walking down the footpath or sidewalk for you my kids say: no, no, no, just move on move on, don't get involved. You only get involved I get that. Yeah, I do, I want to say something but I just oh my god you know what let them live in their in let them live in their fear what a horrible way to go through life every single day and ahh. But the world has changed forever because of it now. Oh, completely. Let me jump forward to you doing God's Not Dead in 2020, 2014 and literally that newsboy song is just it's fixed in my head I think everyone knows that song god's not dead. You in that were a professor and this whole with the students standing up for their faith and whether they will stand up or bend over. And a lot of maybe individuals, especially younger people in the education system, think, actually, it's easier. I'm here to get an education. My faith can be sidelined. But that was a hugely successful film on a low budget. Big turnover coming in what was that kind of seemed to be a turning point for you or give you the I guess the ability to stand up and say actually this has given me the options now of doing more wholesome Christian-based films. I mean tell us about that the film and then actually being a success and being told actually this won't work and yet it actually turning out very well yeah well. I'm gonna go back to even a bit earlier with that I've been a Christian my whole life I've been a conservative my whole life first time I could vote, it was 1980. I was old enough to vote. I voted for Ronald Reagan, but that's another story. But I got to say in Hercules, even though it was a mythological show, it wasn't biblical in any way. The writers, which I had nothing to do with it. Sure, I made my calls as, hey, can we try this? Can we do that? So, yeah, but they even wrote moral messages within Hercules. Hercules never looked for fights. I'll try to talk people out of it. We put a lot of humor in it because we needed to, because it'd be a show, otherwise it'd be easy to make fun of it. So, we really like, wink, wink, let the audience in and have a good time. But they put a lot of moral messages in there. I like that. So, if I go back a couple years before I did God's Not Dead, I did a movie called What If. I've shot about 90 movies. And I would put What If in my top three. And What If was written by the same guys who did God's Not Dead. In my book, What If is a much better movie. And God's Not Dead is a very good movie. But it shows you the independent world and how we got to get lucky. We need word of mouth. You know, when you're shooting budgets of two, three million dollar movies, that's catering budget in Pirates of the Caribbean. They have three hundred million dollar budgets, a hundred million dollar advertising budget. And we got to compete against that. So, when when I did “What If” and that the reason that even happened, the guy who gave me the script to read is a good friend of mine, Dallas Jenkins. Well, Dallas now is huge with The Chosen. And Dallas Jenkins is the son of Jerry Jenkins, who was the co-author with Tim LaHaye for the “Left Behind” books that were huge back in the 90s and my latest movie last year, I had two movies that I directed last year, one was called Left Behind Rise of the Antichrist. So, I knew that that was the kind of movies I wanted to do when I did What If? So, that was through Pure Flix, Pure Flix came to me two years later and said: hey we got this other movie and, don't know if you're interested. You got to play a pretty bad guy. I always joked I played an atheist college professor, which is redundant. All you have to do is say college professor and you got that covered already. But I read the script and I said, yeah, I want to play this. I know people like this. But what I liked about that story, even though I was a bit of a jerk, there's redemption. And I like movies that have redemption at it. They say, look, no matter how bad your life is, how bad things are going for you, there's still a chance in your life to become a good person. And that drew me to that story. And that little $2 million movie, talk about word of mouth. That thing made almost $70 million just in U.S. box office alone. It made $140 million worldwide with streaming and DVD sales and merchandise and everything. So, that movie was just crazy. And to me, and from there, I did Let There Be Light that Sam wrote and I directed. Miracle in East Texas. Left Behind Rise of the Antichrist. My gosh, Abel's Field. I mean, I've done a lot of movies in that vein, but they don't all have to be, like I said, faith-based. I mean, I think every movie is a faith-based movie. If you're an atheist, pretty strong faith to believe in absolutely nothing. Kind of sad way to go through life in a way, but I think I just want to do movies that are more of a positive message instead of a negative one, and that's what I've been doing ever since. No, with my friends who are atheists, I always say I could never have your faith to believe in nothing and look at the complexity of the universe. It's an impossible end to looking at the world. So, yes, I agree. Sorbo Studios, how did that come about? Because it's probably easier just to be in the industry, to get paid as an actor, to actually set out and start that yourself. Yourself is is probably it's quite a thing because you're going against you're providing something different and you're going against the grain. How did that start and tell us a little bit about that? Well, it really came off when Hollywood gave me the boot, because I still love the industry. I love the creative process, I love being on the set, I love directing. I started directing back my hierarchy of these years. So, Sam and i talked about it I said let's form Sorbo studios. We're very fortunate that we do get funded every so often, but a lot of the movies that come my way are from other independent producers and movie makers. They look, I've got this role. We are funded. We'd love you to play in this role. So, in fact, the three movies I'm filming later this year are all coming in from different indie producers. So, every time I've raised money for my own movies, when I send my own scripts that came to me that people want me to be the production house of it, it's always been a God thing. And I've got a very important meeting this weekend. I got a gentleman flying in from Atlanta to meet with me here at my house. And they've already offered us a three-year picture deal that if it does come true, this will be a godsend. So, I feel so highly confident about this, because I know the guy's real, because I know a couple of the people behind him. And if this does happen, we'll know by Saturday night for sure. And that'll fund three of my movies for the next three years. So, it's nine movie package. And so Sam and I are freaking out because we've got amazing scripts that are in that $3 million to $5 million range. And that to me is, look, I get stopped every day, whether it's at the grocery store, whether it's at the airport, the lobby of a hotel, and people say: "we love what you're doing." We know that you got kicked out of Hollywood. We know that you get attacked. But we know if we see a Kevin Sorbo name on a movie, it's a movie I can bring my family to. So that to me is high praise. And, yeah, I could have kissed butt in Hollywood and kept my mouth shut, but I don't care. I don't like the road they're going down. I don't like the stuff they're putting out there. I don't understand this woke agenda, this cancel culture world. We've created this massive divide here in the world, not only in America, but around the world. And we got so much anger and hate coming out, especially from the left. I mean, I don't know how they live their lives like that. They hate themselves for kind of, you look at Antifa, they cover their faces. They're like terrorists. I call them just a bunch of cowards. They feel brave when they got another hundred of them with them. But I would love to do a documentary on their lifestyle. I would love to get them unmasked and talk about their lives and I bet there's a common denominator with each one of them and I got a feeling that that common denominator is not a very happy life growing up and leading into where they are now as adults. Well, I was just on The Legal Entity today about doing some work on a similar organization we have here, the most art-spoken Antifa-like. So, it definitely has to be done. But you're, I mean, Chris, you kind of look around, especially when you have kids, and you see what they're watching. And you think, actually, it wasn't like this in my day. You know, 12 meant something. Now, whoa, what's that doing? And it's the difficulty of parents allowing their children to consume media. And parents sometimes feel powerless. I mean, as a Christian parent, then, you want this to happen because you're a parent, because you're a Christian. But also you want to make a difference in the industry. Tell us about the options there are for parents who are concerned about what their kids are watching and consuming. [Well, as you know my wife's a big home-school advocate and I know she told you you should be homeschooling as well. I know But you know, it's to us it's I think one of the blessings of Covid is that two million more families are now home-schooling, because they woke up and looked to see my god look at the school boards, look at our education system. We all knew new American education has been falling down. It's been falling since the 1960s. It's just accelerated on itself since then. We took the Bible out of school in 1964. Look where we are now. I think most of the kids, adults 30 years old and younger down to grade school level, have just been indoctrinated by our school system. We're rewriting history, or they are rewriting history, and we're allowing it. We're tearing down statues of our forefathers. I mean, I look at this and go, every country has good and bad history. Every country does. And to sit there and not, this is where history repeats itself when you forget it, right? We're not teaching history in school anymore. We don't teach civics here in America anymore, because we don't want children to learn earlier that it's we the people. And it's not we the people anymore. Our government thinks they're God. That's the thing. They don't believe in God. They think they're God. One of the first things they did when COVID hit is what? Shut down the churches. Church God is not essential. But liquor stores and strip clubs they left open they closed down all these little stores that you know, five generations little grocery stores in some corner of some big city close it down, but keep Costco open, keep target open, keep all these other major... What's going on? It's all about money, it's all about power, it's all about control. We got Chinese buying up hundreds of acres of our farmland. We've got Bill Gates doing the same thing, because they want us all to eat bugs now because occasionally, apparently farting cows are destroying the atmosphere. I mean, don't get me going on climate change. Yes, climate does change. It's called seasons. I t's called weather. Don't get me going on this crap. I can bring in, for every scientist they bring in saying the world's coming in because of climate, I can bring in another scientist and say the totally opposite thing. But we don't ever let the other side speak up. I did a documentary called Climate Hustle 2, and they won't even let it show on Amazon anymore. It's just it's so silly and so petty but it's all about money. That's why you can't talk about these things on the networks or even on cable, because who owns all that? Oh, Pfizer does there's a Pfizer commercial and every every cable in television show all the time. It's just it's it's crazy what we're doing and people are sheep in this country, we need to wake the sheep up somehow. The lions better wake up to and. A hundred percent. And you don't hold back. I mean, I see you don't hold back, but when I follow you on Twitter, you speak your mind. My Twitter account's funny. Go to @KSorbs Follow me on Twitter. I know, but tell me. You saw my one. You saw the one I said, you want to get rid of COVID. Tell the Clintons COVID's got something on them. It's so good, but you don't, I mean you get people in the in the public eye maybe hold back and decide actually my career and this may affect it, you don't give a damn and you really want to speak your mind. I mean did you not make a kind of balance a judgment call on actually I've got a career should I speak my mind? How does that fit together because you speak truth and you don't hold back. Well, I didn't even think about it to be honest with you. I remember years ago, I was at I was at a, it was like 2008 or nine. And I was at a, I was at the Emmy Awards and with the Governor's Ball afterwards, we're heading to the ball. And Tom Selleck walked up to me, who's a conservative and he's not just as vocal as I am. And he told me I better tone down my rhetoric. And I went, this is 2008. I said, what do you mean tone down my rhetoric? I didn't think, you know, I didn't think Barbara Walters like 10 feet in front of me, you know. What am I doing that's so wrong? I didn't quite get it. And my wife kept warning me, Sam kept saying, they're gonna blacklist you, Kevin. I said, but I'm not saying anything horrible. I'm just saying, hey, isn't this great Ronald Reagan quote, what he said about abortion when he said, I've noticed everyone who's for abortion has already been born. I think that's an awesome quote for that. And all of a sudden that was negative stuff. I said, this is so weird. You know, Peter I want to meet these people. I need to meet these people that cancel you, cancel me, they need to come talk to us, because obviously they have led perfect sin-free lives and they need to really show us how to be people that are just as forgiving as they are and if people cannot detect the amount of sarcasm dripping out of my mouth right now then, I apologize. Sarcasm doesn't always come over online, I get that I have to explain. I want to touch on the two films you have coming up. You've got Reagan on August the 30th, you've also got firing squad August the 2nd; two very different films, but Reagan is I mean I has there been film really done on Reagan? I mean, I've looked and I don't see that. So actually, this really did catch my eye. Tell me how that came about? And I think your Reagan's pastor, Dennis Quaid, is in it. Tell us a bit about the film? Well, it came about, there have been Reagan miniseries, documentaries and stuff on him, but they've never done a full-scale movie like Oliver Stone did for JFK back in the day. And that's what this movie does. This really covers is his entire life. And Dennis Quaid and I worked together before. We did a wonderful movie called Soul Surfer, the life of Bethany Hamilton, the little 13 year old girl who lost her arm in a tiger shark attack. And Sean McNamara, who directed us in that, directed this movie as well. And Howie Klosner, who was a good friend of mine, he wrote the Reagan movie as well as writing Soul Surfer. And he just wrote the script off a book that I'm gonna be directing and starring in, hopefully early next year as well, called Four Seasons. It's a wonderful, touching, touching true story. You know, they came to me with it. I played the pastor when he was younger. So, it's David Henry, plays the younger Reagan. o, I'm in like the first part of the movie. Dennis did a great job. I've only seen bits and pieces of it. I've been invited to a couple of the screenings of it. But every time they've invited me, I've been off filming somewhere. So, the timing's always been bad. So, I'm looking forward to it. Coming out August 30th when it comes out in theaters. I'm going to go see it with everybody else. I like being in a theater with those kind of movies, those big epic movies. So, I'm looking forward to that. It just came about by that reason and that reason only. They called me up and said, hey, we got this role. I read it. And I said, heck, yeah, anything to do with Reagan, I'm going to be part of it. So I'm looking forward to it. Look, Reagan was a brilliant guy. Yeah, he was an actor. But he was always a politician. He was very smart. He used to be a sports broadcaster back in the day. He became the SAG president, the Screen Actors Guild president, before he became governor of California. And I just remember seeing the stuff he says. I challenge anybody to go online, look at Ronald Reagan's speeches, and tell me if he speaks better than Joe Biden or Joe Biden speaks better than Ronald Reagan. I mean, where we are right now, it's just, it's a comic book and it's just, but you know, we're coming up with another big election here. And I just think if you cannot have, you'll, we'll, we'll never have honest. Voting with mail-in votes. It's impossible. And I'm not just saying the left only, both sides can cheat. Who's going to cheat better? Because it's insane what we're doing right now. Now, to me, it's like you vote on the day of the election. I say make the election day a holiday. Go and vote. And you get one vote and show your bloody ID. There's nothing racist about showing an ID. It's so immature you say that. So, you're saying, oh, so a black person is too stupid to be able to get an ID. So, when they travel, every time I travel, there's any African-Americans in front of me. They show IDs. I feel like saying, was it difficult for you to get the ID? So, it's just silly. The reasons they come up with. And Biden, Uncle Joe, has let 15 million people across our border. You wait. We've already had all kinds of repercussions of the crime. You wait and see what happens with the amount of terrorists we've let into America. You think 9-11 was bad? It's going to be a massive 9-11 on scale in 30 cities on the same day in the next couple of years unless we do something about it. And I honestly believe that. I mean, Trump, I mean, I've had the privilege of seeing Trump speak three times and meeting him. And you watch a Trump rally and it's something to behold. He's great. We went to his birthday. His birthday party. We had 6,000 people. The room was packed for his birthday. And he was born on Flag Day here in America, which I find quite interesting. It's so good. But he connects with people like no other. And when you kind of see him speak, it kind of is that Reagan-esque. Because Reagan wasn't in politics. Can I tell you something to make people angry? That's me golfing with him right there. That's to give me a few more haters I love that. The guy is a really nice guy. I've known him for almost 20 years now. We met back in 2005. And I'll tell you something. He is so nice to people. They've spent the last nine years trying to find dirt on him. You know, they are slowly finding, okay, he had affairs. So did Clinton. So did everybody. There's hush money everywhere around. I don't advocate that, but to find stuff on his kids, they can't find nothing on his kids. He's a great father. We golf together, and we go out there. He thanks everybody on the course for being there. He walks up, gets out of his golf cart, shakes everybody's hands. He's very nice. He's got a sharp, sharp memory. And the only thing I want them to do when they have these debates coming up is shut the hell up. Let Biden talk. Let him just talk. Don't do what you did last time and cut him off every half a sentence. Let the guy talk and let America know. Look, I think there should be a drug test after the debates too, because all they're going to do is jack him up with B12 and whatever. They're going to put a human growth cell. I don't know. They'll do anything to make Biden coherent for about an hour. They've done that every time. We've seen enough on the news how he looks. And it's kind of, to me, it's sad. To me, it's like elderly abuse at this point. How does that, because, yeah, they need to sell that stuff, whatever it is they put them with, that actually is gold dust. It does seem to work for a time and then it malfunctions. And we see that over here. But it's the right, because we've seen a rise of opposition towards mass immigration, especially in the whole LGBT agenda across Europe and the European Parliamentary elections. We are seeing with Nigel Farage, suddenly excitement in the UK general election, 4th of July. And then you've got in November. And it does seem to be that people are waking up. It does seem to be the pendulum has swung too far one way. Yeah, people are waking up. It's just, you know, when you get, we get strong names out there. When you get like a Shaq, the basketball player, O'Neal, you know, Shaq O'Neal. You get Charles Barkley. And you know these are very wealthy very powerful African-Americans everybody knows they are, because of the sports world they even coming out and saying look what have the democrats done for us last six years? How they made our lives better? How they made poverty go away? How they how they made education get better? How they made job opportunities get better? They have not, so this is like people need to wake up and start going okay you know I'm tired of this voting this way for this reason, because I'll be honest, I voted for Clinton the second time around. I thought he did a pretty good job. He was more of a centrist. He was working with both sides of the aisle. I voted him for the second time around. So, I'll admit to that. I mean, I've always been a truly independent guy to look at things. But I think people just need to be honest about where is your life better? I mean, when Biden got in office, he took away everything that Trump did. Trump made us energy independent. Gas is $1.80 a gallon. It's still anywhere between $4 and $8 a gallon, depending what part of the country you're in here in America. He got rid of all that so we could buy oil from countries that hate us in the Middle East. So, we keep funding our own wars against ourselves. It's unbelievable. unbelievable and every time we do another 60 billion dollars to Ukraine. How much of that actually gets to Ukraine? I swear to god that comes back and they put a lot of that in their own pockets. It's just it's crazy what's going on in our country right now. It is so evil, it is so diabolical and we got a country here that just goes, oh well what can we? So apathy is what's ruling in America right now people need to wake the hell up. I agree, and for UK viewers they need to pray that actually the result in November is the result we want, because everything is indicating that way which makes me concerned. Can I, just one question on Reagan, how is Reagan viewed in the US, because Reagan and Margaret Thatcher they were kind together. Margaret Thatcher has been attacked certainly in the UK and maligned and ridiculed and her huge stature has been a topic of ridicule really with our media and our education system. What about President Reagan? Does he still have that stature that he had or is that under attack from the establishment? All I can tell you is that when we lived in California, we lived only eight miles away from the Reagan Library. So, we were home-schoolers. We had yearly subscriptions there. Every three or four months, we would go out there to see what was going on. Every time we went, that library was packed, was packed. And I was in Arkansas one time, so I went to see the Clinton Library just out of curiosity. It wasn't that crowded. I mean, it's interesting to see what these people are doing out there right now. Kevin, I saw you put a short video out talking about Firing Squad that's coming out on August the 2nd. Very different film than Reagan. And you were talking about not only the story itself, but the opportunity for people to respond to a salvation call to actually become Christians. I thought that's intriguing. I get the Christian movie but actually allowing people to respond to Christ, that's something different. mean tell us about the film and why you kind of want to use it to actually point people to Christ? Well first of all that was Tim Chey, the director, who came up with that he wants to save a million souls through the movie. So, that was his sort of his tagline is that I want to bring a million souls back to Christ or to find you know have Christ become a part of their lives. And I thought, it's great when they do it? Look, they did on God's Not Dead. It was amazing free advertising. They would Willie Robertson, you know, one of the Duck Dynasty guys at the end of the movie, he had sort of a cameo role in God's Not Dead. At the end of the movie, he looks at the audience and he says, take out your phones right now, text everyone you know, God's Not Dead. Brilliant free advertising. So, they just millions of more people said, what is this? The God's Not Dead thing. And then, but they were, what a way to get out to people. I He brought me the script and, you know, we tried to work together in a couple of the moves before. The timing was never right for either of us where he would, I'd be busy or he'd be busy, whatever. So, this one finally worked out. I read the script and I said, this is an amazing story. It's another true story, which I love these true stories. And it's about an American, I'm sort of one, it's Cuba Gooding Jr. is in the movie as well. And it's really, a three-way story but the main characters this other character that comes in that he is sort of the last guy that I try to save his soul, because I play a guy that in my 20'surfing in Indonesia. I saw a guy flirting with my girlfriend and he paddles in there he was angry, got in a fight with the guy, and he killed him. Whether it was on purpose or accident I don't know the full story behind it, but he got killed during the fight. He got the life imprisonment he got the death penalty in Indonesia, so during the next decades while I was in there this angry guy in his 20s found God, found Jesus, became a pastor, went through the whole thing, schooling, become a pastor. And we preach all the time within the prison. And he saved a lot of souls, the inmates and guards alike. And near the end of the movie, because it's more of the end of the movie after my ending, because he did get executed in 2015. He was actually executed by firing squad. So, they still have that in Indonesia. He refused to wear the mask because all the guards is a new one now because they became friends in a way. He wasn't a threat to anybody in the prison. He talked to everybody. And that was his home. And he realized that was going to be his home. And he took the mask off, just put it down. He smiled at him before they shot him and said, remember that God loves you and I love you too. And then they shot him. And it's just an amazing story. And August 2nd, that comes out. People go to film. It's called firingsquadfilm.com. It's firingsquadfilm.com. And they can see the trailer for the movie and get information. I hope it makes it over there across the pond. I'm hoping it does. We'll see what happens with it. I know they have plans for it. But, you know, it's just a wonderful story. And I was proud to be part of it. For the Reagan and Farrant Squad, do you have, like, premieres where you're at, where you show up beforehand? Because it is a conveyor belt in one way. You're doing so many, but it's not just the film. Actually, you have to promote it to let people know what's happening. So, what's your involvement with, I guess, both of those, firing squad beginning of August and then the end of August, Reagan? Well, firing squad is kind of because it's coming out almost four weeks before Reagan does. That's the one they've kept me really busy on. And I've been out, I mean, I think I've already done. Gosh probably least 150 interviews on it. Wow You're 151 so long it's and I've gone to about eight cities to show to talk about the movie and screen the movie. We've had like you know Seattle, Dallas, Chicago, wherever we go, and we have a screening for the movie. And I've been to other places where I do my normal speaking events but then we show a trailer for the movie. So, we're getting exposure out there, which is good. I think we're going to open here in America on 2,000 screens. I think that was the game plan. And, you know, we'll see what happens. But we need, once again, word of mouth. You know, we got a budget for promotion. But, you know, it's mostly guys like me and Cuba Gooding that are out there, you know, doing what they're doing, like interviews like this to try to bring some, you know, word of mouth. We can't afford to show a commercial at every sporting event or sitcom or soap opera here in America that shows the trailer. So, once again, we're battling against the behemoth of Hollywood and the divisive, angry, woke culture. You know, it's weird to me. I mean, I love when they call me homophobic. I'm going, well, I'm not afraid of people who are gay, so I'm not homophobic. And I've been in the industry for 40 years, and pretty much every movie I've been on, there's been a gay or a lesbian, somebody on set. You will not find one of them. You won't find one that say, oh, my gosh, he was so evil. He was so mean. Because I treat everybody the same. I like having a great time on the set. I like to keep it loose. I like to have a lot of laughs in between setups. And you just won't find one. But, you know, this is the culture we live in now. We live in a world that if your point of view is different than theirs, boom, they attack you. And you're guilty now before being proven innocent. And it's just crazy land right now. And these are people, I said, these people hate themselves. They do not like who they are. They don't like the direction they've taken in life. But they want to drag you, Peter, and me right down the black hole that they live in. And their attacks on me don't affect me at all. It doesn't make me think one way or another at all. I'm doing what I'm doing, because I love what I'm doing. And I look in the mirror and I like the life that I'm leading. These are people that hate who they are and they just want to spread their hate to the rest of the world. And it's a really sad and pathetic way to live every single day like this. Where because they failed in their life, they've just given up on life. I'm a 13-year overnight success, okay? I failed many times, but I never gave up. I kept plugging along, and that's what you got to do. Failure is a good thing. You learn from these things. But unfortunately, most people just want to blame the world for their problems, and they just give up. No, it's right you see the Antifa you see the LGBT and lobby and there when you look at it and it shows you good and evil because you see the evil you see it has to be demonic because, the anger the vitriol, the hatred, they have of a different viewpoint has to be demonic there's no other way of explaining it. Yeah, well pride pride is one of the deadly sins it's the most biggest is deadly sin. And here in America, we have pride month. Give them pride day. I don't care about that. But we give our vets one day. We give pride a month to a population that is, what, 3% of the population in America? They get a whole freaking month. Why? To me, it makes zero sense. And our vets get one day. One day. And these are the people, just like they did for the Brits, these are the people that have given people the right to have a free life, to have freedom of expression. And yet pride gets a whole month. It's crazy. Go back. You were saying that Maggie Thatcher had all these attacks on her. What did she do for England? She did amazing stuff for England. She brought it, I mean, she, yeah, that's socialism, but she brought it into the world of capitalism as well and opened so many doors for people and cleaned up neighborhoods and cleaned up crime. But that's the left. They're doing the same thing in America. They're attacking that. I remember meeting a guy, Giuliani, he cleaned up New York City. New York City became walkable again. Look at now. It's just a dirt hole. Every city in America, my home state of Minnesota, is just as bad as New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Salem, all these places. I mean, Seattle. They're all horrible now. Every single one are run by Democrats. What does that say to people? People now look at that and go, here we go. Look at all these things, and they're all run by Democrats. All right, Detroit, Detroit in the early 1950s was the number one economy in America, mostly because of the car industry. Number one economy, three million people living there. They have not had a Republican mayor since 1954. Look at them now, 600,000 people in that city now. They lost 2.4 million people, moved the hell out of there. They said, this city is, hey, forget it, we're out of here. And it's just sad. And yet people sit there and still vote the same way. You know, we got 8 million people have left the state of California in 10 years. 8 million have left the state of California. They're filling in Nevada. They're filling in Texas. They're filling in Tennessee, filling in Florida. And all the posts, you know, these posters are up saying, don't California our state. You know, because they leave that state. There's liberals leaving that state in droves. They moved to another state, and yet they vote the same way. And then they see that state start to fall, and they're going, huh, I wonder what the problem is here. So it's like, wake the hell up. That's true. I mean, just on the political side, to finish off with, I remember going to L.A for the first time ever in 2022, going twice and thinking: I wish I was here whenever Reagan was governor. I wish I was here to actually experience what the state was like, because what it is now is a world away. Azerson, I think L.A and D.C being the only places in the states that I felt unsafe. yeah You go to Florida, you go to Texas, even Virginia, lots of other places Colorado and and it's it's beautiful, it's lovely. You don't have that fear where actually I remember vividly on the subway in D.C and L.A and thinking: I don't want to do this again this isn't good. No, it's horrible. It's horrible what they've done. There's a, there was a buddy of mine left San Diego; this is like two or three years ago, he got it. He said, I'm done. He went to get a U-Haul, a truck to move all his stuff out of his house. He was moving to Texas. He took a picture of Employee of the Year, and it was Governor Newsom for the UL company, because so many people left that state. And he'll probably be the one running for president next go-around. I mean, it's just like, what, because he's got good hair? He was horrible at what he's done to that state. And how are they dealing with homeless people now? They're walking around giving them shots of vodka. That's their answer. Give them clean needles and shots of vodka and everything will just be fantastic. Oh, I agree it's a disaster and I mean we're praying for a result in November. Kevin I really appreciate you coming on I'm really looking forward to the Firing Squad and to Reagan the end of August. I hope they make it over the water over to the UK and Europe. I hope so too and I appreciate being on there. Go to sorbostudios.com, a lot of good stuff at sorbostudios.com and follow me on twitter. You want a good laugh every day follow me on twitter. I'll 100% agree with that, but all the links are in the description Twitter and sorbostudios.com Kevin thank you so much for your time.

It's great to have you back, and this time in a moving picture. Thanks so much for joining us today. (Dwight Schultz) Yes, it's my favourite thing in the world to do, looking at oneself. Looking at oneself, it's just, I've, you know there are these actors like Henry Fonda used to, he couldn't watch himself. I have never been able to watch myself. It's a, it's, in show business. It just is one of those, you just find, you spend the rest of the day going over every little thing you hated and critiqued and you can't go on. So it's best not, and that's why I love the theatre. You don't have to look at yourself. The audience is telling you that it's working or it's not. And, but this is modern entertainment and modern news. This is it. So you have to be able to put your toes in there with toenail fungus and all. Well, I want to touch on the podcast because it's been a surreal experience having Dwight Schultz do podcasts for me and for us at Hearts of Oak. I've thoroughly enjoyed listening to your thoughts dropping onto that audio communication. Maybe I'll play just I think a two-minute clip or one-and-a-half-minute clip, of one of them to get, give people an idea of what they will find and underneath on the screen hearts of oak.podbean.com, is where people can find it. Let us know what, because I guess you put that down and it's what's happening currently. There's a lot happening currently. There are never a shortage of things to comment on, kind of what has it been like putting your thoughts down on those? Okay. So yeah, but just let us know what that's been like for you. Well, well, I mean, you know, it is streaming of consciousness. I mean, that's what I, you know, I have done radio for Mark Masters and the Talk Radio Network. I had my own podcast many, many years ago. And it was, you do a show and you do 45 minutes or an hour and then that's it. This is a, I wanted to do an edited thoughts during the day. And frequently, routines come up in my mind during the day when you're talking, and they don't come out in an hour broadcast. But I get ideas for comedy bits, and that's what we call them, bits. And that's what I am. I'm basically a... A bit guy. I'm doing my bit. And you find things that strike you as humorous, and you wish you had had that in the podcast or in the radio broadcast. But this way, I can do that. As I'm putting together and stitching together thoughts, I will then spend several hours working on something that I found funny, and I think others will. Usually, it's outrageous nonsense that people take seriously. And for instance, the Babylon Bee. I love the Babylon Bee in the United States, and I used as an example the other day their very pithy description of the attack on Israel by Hamas. And they used Cain and Abel as the analogy. And they, you know, Cain killed Abel and immediately called for a ceasefire after checking to see if Abel's pulse had stopped, you know. And that kind of thing is brilliant. I mean, they're brilliant. They just are brilliant. And it's not easy to come up with some of these ideas. They are amazing. They hit it every time. And they have a, so that's that's sort of the kind of thing I try to do in the midst of blah, blah, blah, talking. The bits are actually more important than the blah, blah, blah. But the blah, blah, blah fills the time. So it's actually I've got a friend and her her dream is to be a writer for Babylon Bee. Oh, that's a high bar. Yes, that would be wonderful. But, but I, you know, the last thing I did was, was Xi, Xi coming over to see our, um. Our illustrious president, a man of many careers. He should have been an actor. That's what he should have been. He should have been an actor. He's much better. But I just saw, and I did, I mean, I literally thought of the conversation between Xi and a friend in San Francisco after he met with our illustrious president, giving away the store, you know, we, you know, he's, he's been called by some famous, columnists in the United States, a controlled asset of the an enemy, right. And I think it's fairly accurate. And so I just did, you know, I did a routine, I did a routine on it and indeed, I think I got my inspiration from Greg Gutfeld on the, for the routine, but anyway, it happens and it happens in 10 minutes. Sometimes it happens in three hours, but, that's, you know, that's my view of their conversation and what was going to happen ultimately. Well, let me, I just want to play a two minute clip and then ask you for kind of, it's obviously different from scripted, what you get voiceover and have done for 20 years. Let me just play this two minute clip and let people have a flavour of what they can can find on your many podcasts, up to five now. So let me play this clip here... (Clip plays) Anybody who looks at this dumb piece of dead meat with strings being pulled by Barack Obama and our country being sold down the river, when all of the evidence is there and all of the good people who worked hard are being called criminals and all of the criminals are accusing us of what they are doing. Donald Trump will not turn this into a dictatorship. We already have a dictatorship. We have a Department of Social Justice now. That's all you need to know. All that you have to do is look at what is happening in the streets. Please call me by my pronouns. Call me by my pronouns and I have 12 of them. All right, and please go to Citizen Free Press and look at the video of the dumbass who was caught drunk driving and what excuses this individual used to try to get out of being caught drunk driving. It's what's being taught in schools. How to avoid arrest for drunk driving. First of all, pull the number of pronouns that you have in your wallet out and stick them on the windshield and have the officer read them in the dark. And if you can, put them on backwards so that he has to go around the other side to read them. I mean, it's please, folks. Never in the history of the United States have such incomprehensibly horrific ideas been used to destroy society. But they they're horrific because it is so clear and obvious. (Clip ends) It's a great end never in the history of such a horrific. I thought it's a beautiful end because it's a reality check. It really is. It is. And it doesn't stop. It doesn't stop day to day. And I see things and I know I'm not the only one. I mean, I know that. We know people who all see this and we want to scream out for and let me give you another for instance. This one truly, truly gets me in the very first podcast I did underneath everything in the introduction, I use Barack Obama screaming at his, we have to have a national police force that's as powerful as the United States military, blah, blah, blah. And everybody, and I remember when he did that and everybody was saying, what the hell is he talking about? Right? Well, what he was talking about is defund the police, re-imagine the police. The police are not there. And it started big time during COVID with George Floyd, which we are now discovering was a communist hoax. They all are just like COVID. So you had Floyd and you had COVID. The police are defunded. They're called names. Adams in New York is now, what, they're behind by 400, 1000 police officers? You don't have a police force locally. So what happened? What is the plan? What are the communists doing? Well, we defund, or as Barack says, re-imagine them not being there. And then the Deus Ex Machina, the federal government, comes in and says, we will come in and save you. We will fund the police. Well. You know, the Congress of the United States, the house just passed the money for an FBI building that is bigger than the Pentagon. Now, Barack wanted that, right? They're funding it. They're funding the beginnings of the way the communists imagine the country, a national Gestapo that, is just like Klaus Schwab says, you know, Xi is the perfect model. That's the model for the world that we're going to give you in which you will own nothing but be happier for it. And here are members, Republicans in the House of Representatives funding this building bigger than the Pentagon. Why? We don't need a national police force nor an FBI that needs a building bigger than the Pentagon. But this is the plan. And you get to it, and you can look at every Democratic city that's struggling right now. They're all struggling, and people are saying, why aren't the police coming to help us? You don't have any police. It's not time for the Deus Ex Machina. It's not time for the feds to step in yet. But just keep coming. The commies are coming. The commies are coming, and they're going to come with a solution. But it's going to be a government solution, and you're not going to be happy about it. Anyway... Where is it? Obviously, when you did your podcast a while ago, then obviously I had watched some of the clips of you on with Jamie Glazov. And I mean, how does, how do things look as, back in those days, there were issues, but it seems to have notched up such a degree. And so kind of how do you see whenever you were commenting focused on the news, you haven't been for quite a while. And these recent podcasts, you're back into observing what is happening. And kind of how do you see it differently with the different issues that we that we now face? Well, I'll tell you what, you know, you, well, if you, I mean, Jamie is on to everything. I mean, Jamie Glazov, you mentioned, he's nailed it and he's continually continuing to nail it. You sit back and you, I keep saying, I wish I had continued recording. Because I used to record everything. But then when I stopped, because I had to go back to work, I had to make money, you know, you, you, you, but it's, it's, you see, I see better now than I ever have, how the communists, the Marxists, the globalists all together, all working together, how they did it, what was going on behind the scenes. And even though Jamie saw it, I saw it, we didn't do anything about it. We brought it to people's attention, but it was just a small, a small program, actually. You know, it's important to recognize that they had a plan. You don't. When I, here's a side-line. When I was working with Andrew Breitbart, and who I loved, who got me to do things I would never have done in my life, right? And I was having a hamburger with him. And I told him the story of first coming to California. To audition for a TV series. And along the street, there are these vending machines with free newspapers or papers for $25, I mean, 25 cents. And I went to the want ads. This is the truth. I'm an audio fanatic, right? So I went to see if there was anybody, any audio equipment being sold. And I just saw activists wanted activists wanted activists wanted activists wanted activists wanted. Never said what for? Just activists wanted and I said to Andrew I said what the hell is this and he said well, of course, you know. They don't have to say what it's for because only libs are in the activist business, Conservatives are not looking at a centralized world. They want a decentralization of everything there. They are by nature, not activists. Activism is to achieve power. It's to go out, assemble a group, get done what you want to have done, and then grow it. So you need to advertise for people. And you only have to say activist, and you know precisely who you're going to get. And they all want to be at the top of the pyramid, when in the truth is that most of them will end up at the bottom. And then by the time they're ready to revolt, it's too late. And so what these individuals did, these Marxists, socialists, globalists, instead of what they did in the 60s where they went after college students, they then said, no, no, we've got to get them younger. And they went for grade school, preschool. And I'll say this, that the imams in France after 9-11, who said, we soon will own this country. Our armies are growing around Paris right now. I think they got the hints there. And Andrew McCarthy wrote a book called Grand Jihad, which was about how the socialists, Marxism, communists got along really well with the radical Islamists because their ideology was the same. They found each other. One has a god at the head, the other the state. Someday they won't be able to work together. But their ultimate, the ultimate view of the world is totalitarian and they work really well. And they did. They got the ideas to go after the children at the very early. They wanted to. Communists always wanted to destroy the family. They tried. And if you go back to, if you go back to some of the writings in 1920 in Russia, which was to become the Soviet Union, you will see it looks like it was written in the New York Times yesterday, talking about the family's not sufficient. The husband's not sufficient. We need the state to take care of all of the children and mothers. It's just too much. It's just too much. You are an oppressed minority because you're forced to bear children. It's all of this stuff, and they knew what to do, and they have done it. And it scares me that it's possibly too late. I think it's never too late, actually. And I see panic in the works, especially in the United States. but they're doing the same thing in Europe. You see it start there, you see it moved to Canada and then it comes here, but you do see revolt. I think the important thing is to make people aware that this is going on, this is their intention, ultimate control. And how people can, why people wanna be ruled by Klaus Schwab, it's so I just want to say slob, Schwab, why they want to be ruled by that Nazi, I don't understand, but they do. They, they, you know, they, they think they are going to get something for nothing. They actually hear those phrases and they think, oh, that's going to be wonderful. I don't have to worry about anything. I don't have to work. It's going to be given to me. And I have had, I have actually had conversations with people who have said that. And so those things work. I don't, it would never work with me. It wouldn't work with my parents. It wouldn't work with the people. It's not going to work with you, but they don't need it. They only need a minority, a strong minority to say, yes, I want, I want, I want my life taken care of. And it's I wish I had been more active, a greater activist. And the death of Andrew Breitbart was a horrific... Well, can I ask you that one? Ask you about that liberal destruction that we're seeing. But actually on how did you meet Andrew Breitbart? How did that happen? Oh, that was pure serendipity. I, I've always worn my conservatism on my sleeve. So which is why I'm on cocktail napkins. Don't hire him. Oh, you're one of them. You're one of them. A lot of that, right? And so I never saw it as a zero-sum game, but it made tough, you know, you are not, you're on the outs. And so a friend of mine invited me to a, basically an organization called Friends of Abe. It was modelled after Friends of Dorothy, you know, the conservatives, It was, you know, on the lam in the down low. And there were these small gatherings of people who were conservatives, who were actors, who were having a rough time. And I was at a small meeting and Andrew was at this particular meeting. And the question was, well, what have you experienced in Hollywood, that you would consider, you know, a, you were prohibited from working. Let's put it that way. And I told the story of a producer and I actually, I'm not going to mention his name here. I'll tell you why, but, Andrew heard me tell this story, which was really as a young actor, it was pretty, pretty amazing. He basically, I had come back from working with, Charlton Heston in a play in Los Angeles. And I had wonderful conversations with Heston. I mean, just wonderful conversations. And this producer at this theatre complex heard me, who was quite a big producer in Hollywood, right? He heard me saying glowing things about Charlton Heston. This was before Ronald Reagan won his election in the United States. And he heard me, and he said, well, no Reagan asshole is ever going to work in my production. And I went. I mean, I, believe me, this this theatre group is a small theatre group. I mean, I was I was not prepared for it. And, you know, he laughed and he was waiting for for me to respond in kind, and I just didn't. Right. And so Andrew heard me tell this story and he said, you've got to write this. You've got to write it. You've got to put it in big Hollywood and you have to use your name. And most of the actors, he said, most of the actors who write for me are using pseudonyms. And I said, oh, my God, Andrew, I just don't, you know, no, you have to. If you do, other actors, others in show business will see that you can use your name and you will encourage them to do the same thing. It took me a while to, but I did it. I did it. And in fact, I have to say, I lost a lot of friendship because not only did I write about this producer, but he was dead, and so you don't write about the dead, right? But this was absolutely a true story, and there wasn't anybody who knew him who did not know that it was true. But I lost a lot of friends doing it, but I also gained a lot of friends. And there suddenly, and there's several, several well-known actors who started using their names on big Hollywood and they've done well, they've done very well. And, it was, it was tough, you know, it was a tough thing to do. But it was, but it's a little thing. I mean, think about it using your name to write and say something that's true. But the atmosphere as Orson Bean, who was. Andrew's father-in-law actually said that the atmosphere, in Hollywood today was worse than it was during the blacklisting period for the communists. He said, it's actually worse. Conservatives are being treated worse than the communists were. It was. I mean, you are one of them, was a frequent retort, if you said something. And you had to be very careful. You just I just lost a lot of friends. And it always happened at the wrong time. There's never a right time. But Andrew set me on the straight and narrow about this stuff. He he truly was courageous. And he, when I told him the story about the activists, you know, he said, you know, he just said, you have to understand that they, culturally, they are an amalgam. They are powerful because of numbers and they recognize that. We, on the other hand, don't want to do that. And we tend to just say, it'll be all right. It's going to work out. They people can't be that stupid and then you look at this demented individual who's been elected president and people are. They, you know, they don't care and now you're hearing people. Well, I'm not voting for the man I'm voting for the party. This is the new one. I'm not voting for the man. I'm voting for the party and read Edward Dmytryk odd man out. [He was one of the Hollywood ten who realized what was happening and turned on the Communist Party and it's a great book. It's a great book and you begin to see it is a tall order to take on that many people who literally do not care at the end if they have to kill somebody. And you see them turning that on us. You hear Donald Trump being called every name in the bloody book, and yet you are watching one of the greatest crimes I can think of in terms of what's happening in our legal system. It's just a disgrace. And you're going to see a huge, I think. Schism in our judiciary, because there are, I'm sorry to say, John Roberts, there are Trump judges, there are Obama judges, and there are Clinton judges, and they are not getting along well right now in the United States of America. But Andrew was, he really understood culture. He really understood what was what, and he inspired a lot of people. And he changed my life. He changed my life completely. And I began to take special note of how the Marxists, the globalists, the communists work socially and on the bottom end. And when I was working with Jamie, that was sort of the beginning. I mean, I was, that was the beginning of things, but today I really see how they had, you always heard the communists had a five-year plan. No, they had a 30-year plan. They had the long game. Xi has the long game in mind. I mean, to come here while his economy is collapsing, and to get a standing ovation by corporate billionaires is quite an accomplishment. And all of the lies he told, and what he's looking for. They're bailing him out, our enemy. I mean, Sequoia capital that Bannon talks about all the time, you know, they are bailing out our enemy whose military has said they are going to war with the United States and they're going to destroy us. Fine, you know, Khrushchev said, you know, the capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them. We don't seem to learn. The difference this time is that we actually, they're actually in our government at the highest levels and there has to be a cleaning of the house, there really does and that scares them. Completely. Can I pick up some you in the middle you're talking about liberals and that anger that activism that destruction which they're running down and I was think well is that because a lack of I mean Christianity has played such a part in U.S. history and U.K. history that we now seem to have that void where Christianity is not there, the church is not there. It's always provided stability and an anchor and an understanding for life. I wonder is it anger because a generation no longer has that certainty? But then I was also thinking when you talked about conservatives not wanting to fight, possibly part of the problem is because many conservatives have a hold of Christianity and maybe they abdicate responsibility. They say, well, God, this is yours, I don't have to do anything. So I wonder is that a double-edged sword that we have? Oh, listen, what you just said is so true. It is so absolutely true. And I, again, I remember when Barack Obama, before he was president. A couple, I think it was two years before he was suddenly 2006, he said, he said, the United States is no longer a Christian nation. At that time, 70% of the population identified as Christian. So it was a lie, but it was a lie that he was, he wanted to create. He wanted to push into reality. And the removal of prayer, the removal, the attack on organized religion was beginning at that time. And you could see Christians backing off. Backing off. And, you know, well, you're too harsh. It's why Judaism and why the Judeo-Christian ethic, well, they're so judgmental. You know, we have the Ten Commandments. There's so many don'ts. There's so many don'ts. And you're just not warm. And what's the word they use? Oh, inviting that you're just not inviting, you know, you push people away from, because you're, there are things that you have, you say are right and wrong. They went right for the gut. If you say there's right and you say there's wrong, then there's no relativity. And we know that everything is relative. And, of course, I think 9-11, the attack on 9-11 and the, and I do believe this, I don't think most Christians in the United States, not about the rest of the world, but in the United States, knew that there was Islam. I don't think they knew that there was a Muslim world out there. I don't. I don't I I don't think they you know, they're very typical. They're going about their business and not aware. Oh, they knocked down the World Trade Towers. Are they angry about something? You know, oh quick. I think oh. Where's where though it happened here, is the other World Trade Center's in New York. Oh my god You know, it's ah, this is true. I'm gonna tell you a story. Boy, I'm blabbering, right? Listen, listen, listen to this story. This is the last thing I did on camera. It was a TV series about the CIA shot in L.A. And I went into wardrobe, I'm not going to mention, I'm not going to mention who did this or whatever it is, but I went in and this is right after 9-11 and, I'm saying, my God, what an irony, here I am. And I was already moving into the voiceover world because there was, it was far more interesting and more fun. That's it then, than what was happening, but here I am doing this CIA, at the Veterans Administration Cemetery was the site. And I was talking to an employee about 9-11, and what happened and my friends there in New York and how unbelievably incomprehensible it was. This individual said, I don't have any connection with that. I don't have any, I don't have any, you know, I don't have any connection with that, you know, everything will just go on. I mean, literally, and I came home to my wife and I said, I was speechless, which for me, you can tell, I, I know how to talk, right. I was speechless. I couldn't, I cried a little bit because it was, this was not said out of, it was sit out of an emptiness of mind. The enormity of what occurred was and could have obviously I mean, the idea that there were only thirty five hundred people killed that day is just, it should have been thirty thousand thirty five forty thousand. And here was somebody who had no connection with it. And I'm sure she was not, shouldn't have said that. I'm sure that person, was not a bad person, just empty of the import that the world has changed. This was a, this was a statement of war that was cultural and military. And we are seeing it today and people are after the attack and I, if you, if you are a Christian and you don't understand that you are a target of what happened in Israel, you're fooling yourself. This is not going to stop. It's not going to stop. And you are a target. And one of the leaders of Hamas just said it. They say it, and they do it, and they have permission to not kill. You know, the Ten Commandments, it's thou shalt not murder. But they have permission to murder. It isn't. And you need to understand that you're on the list, and it's not wrong to say it. And if you pretend that that's not the case, things are going to get much worse. And I think that's something that we have to come to grips with today, that what's going on is, does not heed well for for the future unless action is taken. So anyway, that was my story about 9-11. And how do you push back? Because there's obviously when you were doing podcasts back whenever you started with Jamie, there was much. And before that, I did them before, long before that, before Jamie, but go ahead. But there were the voices on the scene, the information, the media was more trusted, there were much fewer alternative voices, fewer platforms to put out, just having podcasting platforms now and that wealth of reach that you can now have. Is that a way of pushing it? Because I am not 100% hopeful in a political solution or a legal solution, and I'm wondering, is media a method of wakening up the public to providing that pushback or do people just shrug their shoulders and actually not really care? Well, you see, the media is certainly part of the control. They have been. I mean, Walter Cronkite, for instance, made no bones about it. The CIA was involved, When it was just CBS, ABC, and NBC in the United States, the CIA was involved in each one of those networks. They are and they have been in control. And once you say, oh, the government actually is in control of the news we get. You then begin to see more clearly that activity underneath. And till the point where we have reached today, where all of the news media are, you only hear the government point of view. They have been exposed by Donald Trump. He exposed them. Steve Bannon and War Room would not exist if it were not for the fact that most people who were on the conservative, who voted for Donald Trump, saw the government spend four years and three billion dollars overthrowing a president of the United States. They all came out of the closet. And an alternative media has bloomed. Hearts of Oak, War Room, which is an, which is basically international now through, and one knows, one is aware of, Klaus slobs, a constant harping on the fact that, you know, or we can remove the internet, you know, it can go down, it will go down to internet. The grid will go. And the threats that are implied there, you know, It's fierce communication. It's like you say, okay, this can happen. That threat is over your head. That this new, all right, we are the alternative. Here is an alternative voice to, and you now know that the government runs ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN for God's sake, you know, run. And it was always that way, but not as exposed as it is today. But the alternative media is absolutely essential. And they're not at the point where they can pull the plug. They're not at that point yet, because then the next step is mass murder. And that's where it comes. It comes in the planning. Of course, they tried it with the vaccines. You have to remember, you have to go back and remember that Davos, the World Economic Forum, had this video, I remember it, of the vaccine being given as your passport, your vaccine passport instead, you know, to everything. And it was a wonderful video. We're killing you as we're giving you your, you know, it's a remarkable situation. But, all of this stuff is right. It's we, we have to find a second grid. I mean, I think that's the only, the only way we're actually going to survive is to have a second grid. And it was the very first thing that, our illustrious president did was when Donald Trump kicked the Chinese out of our electric grid. And the first thing that that Biden did was invite them back in. And I'm sorry, it's a catastrophe waiting to happen. We don't need a sunspot to rain down on us. We have 10, 20,000 Chinese men of military age in the country today. And all of that you have to worry about, you know, and you shouldn't be worrying about that in this world, but the media is. The propaganda, the Wall Street control of our minds, holy cow, it's a proven vessel. And they took it and ran with it. They were exposed. And now we have to undo it all. I don't know. And what you just said, I don't know that that's possible. I don't. But I hope it is. I pray it is. And I think with a lot of hard work, It can, we can save ourselves, we can. But it's going to take a massive amount of energy, a mass, I love, you know, the getting rid of, I love the fact Xi leaves and the next day, we're getting rid of the stoves, we're getting rid of stoves, we're getting rid of gas, we're not gonna drill anymore, we're not, Xi, can you hear this? We're doing what you said. You know, it's like, oh my God, oh my God, it's like, see, it's so sad, it's so incredibly sad and the Congress is going, well, I don't know, it's all going to collapse anyway. I hope it happens soon. You know, I don't know. And I also, I'm beginning to think and give credence to the fact that the vaccinations, have had a mental effect on people, it crosses the blood-brain barrier, and Naomi Wolf had suggested that there would be irrational behaviour as a result of it. And I thought, well, no, I think she was probably onto something. Yeah, that does add up. Final question, on you. In the podcast, it's spending 30, 40 minutes with you and your thoughts. And you're just putting down what you think. Don't be so harsh, please. But from your I mean, from a film career, from I mean, from A-Team to Ben 10, I mean, it's diverse. And then video games all mixed in with that. How much of yourself could you put in. You obviously have to excel in acting, in your character, in your voice ability, but how much of yourself were you able or could you put in as an actor? Well, I mean, that's why, you know, I listen to Jordan Peterson say, if you have anything to contribute, to what you see, this is the time to do it. And it's now, that's it. And I watched what he has been through and others. And what do I have to contribute? I'm an actor. I used to walk around in New York saying, why the hell would anybody pay to see me or anybody? Why? What is it? What is it? Like with the Babylon Bee, if I can, through an absurdity, knock somebody on the head to say, oh my God, I never thought of that. If I can just point out the absolute absurdity of people calling Donald Trump a totalitarian fascist Nazi, when that's what they have been doing. And that is the Alinsky, the famous, you know, his famous statement, you accuse them of what you are doing and they're doing it every day and they get away with it. If you can stop them from getting away with that by voting against them, you know, this whole thing of voting. And of course, I do believe they stole the election. There's no question. And I saw a headline in the paper today about in Arizona, this county in Arizona with 100,000, they couldn't count the ballots. It was they were on the third day and they had made 46 errors. And there was this other. And I thought to myself, Argentina just had an election and 30 million people and all of the votes were counted in one night. Right, but this little county in Arizona and here's a headline, right? And what is this? This headline is telling you, oh, these people who want paper ballots, it's just not gonna happen. It's too hard. It's too hard to count. Try it. Look, how old are you? Shake your fingers, you're not nimble, the papers fall and you have to bend over and it hurts your back. And look, I found another ballot. And there's always another ballot that you're going to find in the paper bank. So, no, no, let's keep the machines and let's keep it electronic, okay? I mean, it's this kind of thing. And you begin to realize, as an actor, I can perhaps, if I'm lucky, once or twice... Click somebody on the head and say okay this is, this is potential this this this I'm not going, (Barking) it's my dog she knows it's about time to stop, oh Ziva stop it. Has Ziva been on your podcast yet No, no she hasn't, no she hasn't. There's a thought Well you see the podcast, that's why another reason and I wanted to stitch it together. The podcast is 15 minutes takes an entire day. And then I stitch it together, and it's all done. If you have a golden period like this, there's always the potential that the canine who runs the family. Her name is Ziva. Ziva was a character on NCIS, and she left the show. One of our favourite characters. So we had to keep her around. Yes. Israeli character, I remember. Yes. Yes. Very, very, very our favourite. But but and the dog is a great German shepherd. Just a great, great dog. But and she does respond to my admonitions because I feed her. It's a good communist household technique. No food. No. But yes, it's you know, it's what I can do. That's it. And Jordan Peterson, I truly do appreciate what he's been through in Canada. And he's so articulate. Oh my God, he articulates. Like he was like Andrew, Andrew Breitbart was articulate. Bannon is articulate. There are so many people who have come out of the woodwork, to, I would not, you, I would not know who you were if it were not for Steve Bannon. You can blame him right. Well, no, no, no. It's amazing because you're across the pond and you see the world. Who was it? Antonin Scalia spoke at a friend of Abe event, and he said, gather with people of like minds because he discovered in the judiciary, it was, you would be an out, you became an outcast. So he said, don't be an outcast. Gather with like minds there are people who think like you particularly if you see the world correctly, but the more people who say yes that is what I se. It is invasion of the body snatchers, it really is people have been hijacked. Money, sex, when the joke about Epstein not killing himself is not a joke you discover that. And as you know, I said to you, I believe in the Oscar Wilde comment, everything in the world is about sex except sex. Sex is about power. And power is in everything to some degree. And they have found a way. You don't belong in the club if you can't be blackmailed. That's the entrance fee is blackmail. You are part of it. Then you get all of the benefits. but remember to toe the line. People who don't do that. The Jordan Petersons of the world who up front say, not me, I see the world the way he does. And the idea that Christianity is being attacked and destroyed from every angle, tells me something about the people who are doing it. It doesn't tell me anything about Christianity except that it's a threat. And I go back to what Thomas Jefferson said that if, and anybody can take this, whether you're Christian or not, if Christianity, if there was no Christianity, it would have to be invented. Well, it is real, and it is there, and they're attempting to destroy it. Why? You ask the question why, and you'll change your mind about the world. And look at the people who want to destroy it and how they want to destroy it, in little increments. It is the crocodile, it's Winston Churchill said it, you know, the crocodile, you're hoping that the crocodile will eat you last, and the crocodile is real. But Christianity is there, it was, and I do believe. Some of the most thoughtful Jews like Dennis Prager, rabbis, that I have listened to and I have spent some time talking to them, It is, there are things that are a force for good are recognized by everybody and things that are a force for evil are also recognized, hang around people who recognize both. And Jordan Peterson, I tip my hat to you and to you, Peter, and to Bannon and to everybody. That has been an inspiration to me. I don't think I could get around. I mean, it's hard sometimes listening to the truth. You know it. I know it. And I know a lot of people who cannot listen to it. And really, I mean, seriously, they're affected in a way. I can't. I can't do it. I can't. I just can't listen to that. I can't read that. I don't want to know that. Well, you have to know it because it will affect your life. Dwight, it's wonderful to have you on. I think speaking with you, getting to know you is the top of my surreal list of the last four years watching when you're, I don't know if I was seven or eight, I think, A-Team. I don't know if it was for, seven or eight-year-olds. Yeah, it was it was it was a comic book with heroes, you know, and the heroes happened to be Vietnam veterans and that was the the Tribute to Steven J. Cannell and he was attacked for it There you go. I don't know if you want a crazy helicopter pilot, but anyway, that's that's a whole that's a whole other, Dwight, thank you so much for coming on. It's been wonderful having you on the podcast and there's the the link again on the screen. And maybe we'll have you back for another video interview sometime in the near future. Who knows? And, you know, if I can, any time, you know, I'm I'm a I'm a blabbermouth. You know, I'm I'm a mugger. I am. You know, I admit what I am. I'm not a great, listen. I always knew I wasn't going to be a movie star. I always knew it because I couldn't ride a horse. Movie stars can, they get on a horse for the first time. And I got on a horse and the horse turned around and went the opposite direction. It's true. It's true. In fact, there was a horse riding scene in a movie I did called Fat Man and Little Boy, and I'm riding on it. And it was a galloping scene, and it never made it into the movie. And I'm coming into the scene, and I went flying off the horse onto the ground. That was me. No movie star here. None. I knew it. I accept my fate. Thank you Pete. Well Dwight, it's so good to have you on. Thanks so much for your time.

On the 78th anniversary of the Atomic Bomb being dropped on Hiroshima, we look at some of the popular culture around that event. We start by discussing the 1980 song “Enola Gay,” by the 1980s British band Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark (OMD). We look at a brief history of the band, the success of the song both at the time and its historical legacy and a not-necessarily-obvious resonance it had in popular culture. After that, given the box office success of Christopher Nolan's “Oppenheimer,” we look some other films that take on the creation of the bomb in 1945. That includes the 1989 films “Day One” starring David Strathairn as Oppenheimer and “Fat Man and Little Boy,” starring Paul Newman and Dwight Schultz (who you may remember from “The A-Team” or “Star Trek: The Next Generation”) as Oppenheimer. We also briefly discuss the 1980 BBC mini-series “Oppenheimer” with Sam Waterston in the title role. We end with a brief mention of two other foreign language films related to the events: Alain Resnais' “Hiroshima Mon Amour” from 1959 and Akira Kurosawa's “Rhapsody in August” from 1991.

I dreamt of being a pilot as a child and grew up watching The A-Team and my favourite character was 'Howling Mad Murdock' played by Dwight Schultz. I was obsessed with aircraft so he was the one I wanted to be as his character could fly any plane or helicopter that he had to. Years later I saw him with Jamie Glazov and Anni Cyrus on 'The Glazov Gang' and was intrigued at his strong Conservative Christian stance while delivering common sense commentary. This is the first interview he has done for many years so it truly is an honour to have Dwight join Hearts of Oak on this audio only discussion. (he is the voice king) We talk about those early days treading the boards in the theatre and as a star in Hollywood, working on the biggest TV programme in the world and Dwight shares some stories of how his strong conservative stance got him into much hot water. He truly is a breath of fresh air in an increasingly demonic industry that opposes truth at every turn and mocks all who have a Christian Faith or Conservative Values. (*Peter takes to the skies regularly and has held a pilots licence for many years) A respected performer on Broadway, Dwight Schultz found everlasting fame by playing the certifiable "Howling Mad" Murdock on the action series "The A-Team" (1983-86).

TRANSCRIPT [0:22] Hello Hearts of Oak, and welcome to another interview coming up with Dwight Schultz, Howling Mad Murdock from the A-Team. He came in on a audio. Dwight hasn't done interviews for years. I was absolutely delighted to have him on when you talk to one of your childhood heroes who you grew up watching him in A-Team. And he was my favourite simply because he was a pilot. And I always wanted to grow up and that's what I wanted to grow up to be. But I'm talking to him about being a conservative, being a Christian in the industry, in Hollywood, in the movie industry. And actually we delve more deeply into his Christian faith, Roman Catholic background, and what it means for him to be a Christian in that industry where you're pulled every way and where your faith is ridiculed, mocked, and everything stands against that. So great conversation about some of his experiences and what it is to be a Christian and to be a conservative in the industry. We talk about his voiceovers, I mean his voice is legendary. Talk about that and why he stepped away from doing kind of in front of a camera in 2001, why that was, and all the voiceover and then I think 100 video games, his voice is in a whole other world, a whole other industry. So, I know you will enjoy listening to Dwight as much as I enjoyed speaking with him. [1:48] It is wonderful to have Dwight Schultz with us today. Dwight, thank you so much for joining us. [1:54] Oh, it's my pleasure, Peter, for my reintroduction to the world of podcasting, radio, television. Well, this is something I've only been doing three years, So I know you have much more experience back in the day, but we'll get into some of that. And obviously I... Remember you fondly growing up. I think I was six when The A Team first came out, which is now 40 years ago. I'm sure I didn't want it when I was six. But your role obviously is as Howling Mad Murdock. So we can take just a little bit memory lane before we go into and talk about actually being a conservative in the industry and what that is like. But I mean, it ran for five seasons, 83 to think 87. Do you just want to let us know how you actually ended up in that role? Well, actually, it actually only went four seasons, real seasons, so it's not technically considered a success. That's true. I ended up in that role because I made a comedy tape at the Williamstown Theatre Festival around 1979, 1980. [3:18] Somewhere in there. And the comedy tape, and for two years, I didn't hear anything. And then suddenly I started getting calls from my agent to audition and to go to Los Angeles to audition. and it was because of this comedy tape. And I found out it had been making the rounds for two years and eventually Steve Cannell and Frank Lupo, his co-writer saw it and requested me to come. Joel Thurm, who was the vice president of NBC at the time, however, he had different ideas about this character. And anyway, I went in and they flew me out to Los Angeles. [4:03] And my wife was out here. She wasn't my wife at the time, but I had been dating her since 79. And she was out here living in Los Angeles, which was difficult. I mean, I was glad to come out here for any reason. And I had never. It was a joy, but I came in and I auditioned and it was a total flop. It was a bomb. I mean, you walk into a small room with 25 people, 30 people, and there was not a single laugh. There was nothing. There was no... And then they sent me out and they sent the director, Rod Holcomb, out with me to talk to me. I came back in, I did the same audition, And everybody was laughing and I had no idea why they were laughing now. And they weren't laughing before, unless someone said laugh when he comes back. You know, that's the way it was. It was just an astonishing thing. And they said, you got the part. [5:02] And then, uh, and this is the, really, this is the nub, right? So, uh, I, they shoot in Mexico and I went down to Mexico. And when we were down there, I was fired. I was fired. I was fired. Rod Holcomb came into my little room and he said, I'm afraid it's not going to work out. And I said, oh, what? He said, it's not Steven. It's not Frank. It's the would-be's at NBC. They just don't think you're quite right for it. And so they took me out of my little room and they put me in with a stuntman who I loved. I just loved him. I mean, it was incredible to work with these guys. And so there I was with the stuntmen for the rest of the shoot down in Mexico. And when we came back to the States, they were editing it and putting it together as we were shooting it, right? [5:58] I got a call from my agent said your dials were great. I said, what are you talking about? I had no idea what they were talking about. This is 82, right? This is 1980. I don't know what you're talking about. He said the dials, the dials, the testing. The audience loved you. You're the best dials that anybody had. So I was written back in. I was rehired before I was fired. And so you can't make this stuff up in life. You can't. So it just turns out that they had a different view of what this character should be like. And I had another view. And Stephen Cannell and Frank Lupo were in my camp. And so they had to write me back into the first five episodes, which they had kind of written me out of. And that's the way it started. And I was, [7:04] as anybody would be, you know, I got to work with some of the finest old actors [7:12] that I had grown up with in the 50s and 60s. And it was a thrill. The four years were a thrill. I mean, it was an absolute thrill. And I got along beautifully with everybody. And Stephen J. Cannell [7:24] was a conservative. I mean, I'm lucky. I'm fortunate there. I was fortunate because some of my other experiences were not so fortunate, working with people who knew I was a conservative and weren't going to have a conservative on their show. That was the way it started back then. But anyway, so it was four years of, we didn't really have a studio. We were working on locations and I got along famously with everybody. And it was a joy. It was four, believe me, it changed my life completely and totally. I never thought I would end up in Los Angeles and never leave. Well, what was I mean, it's intense, I guess, that you're living and breathing it. And most people, I have no idea what that's like. Most people go to a job and they go home, but you're there nonstop. What's that kind of intensity, especially for years with it's the same people? It's the same people. But listen, as an actor, I mean, I've been working I've been working professionally since nineteen sixty nine. This gig, it's over 50 years. Right. So I had, I have before the 18, I never knew what my next job was ever. I never knew what I was doing next. And after the 18, I never have known [8:50] what I'm going to do next. I've never had a consistent job other than those four years. And I thank God for them every night. I hoped it would go longer, but this was not the intention, nor the background of Stephen J Cannell. His shows were two years, three years. And then they name of every single writer that we had in the first year moved on to their own series. They all became producers. And this is not the way you have a successful series for an, actor, which is selfish, right? You want to go at least five years, seven years. But they all, you have to have somebody there who is consistently behind it, pushing it, making sure everything is the way it's supposed to be. But that was not the way it was. But I did everything that you can possibly imagine, I think, on that show. And as the 14-hour days, 15-hour day, I loved it because I knew that there was going to be an ending. I knew the day I started that there was going to be a last day. And so and I think that's the way life is, actually. [10:02] And so take advantage of what you have and enjoy it and hope for the best. But I savour it every minute and I look back very fondly. When you say it wasn't a success, I remember thinking this is the biggest thing ever. This is phenomenal. I watched it as a kid growing up. So it did seem to be the kind of TV show that you would watch. I mean, the only other one I remember at the same time was I think Knight Rider at the same time, but they were the shows to watch. Yes, they were. But you see, we were on NBC, Grant Tinker and Brandon Tartikoff, and their moniker was quality programming. And Grant Tinker, and well, Tartikoff gave an interview for the New York Times, right? This is not an example of our quality program, right? Really, this is it. That's what he said. You know, their ideas was Hill Street Blues, which they had on. This was their idea of quality programming, not this schlock that's number one. [11:12] This is not it. And I sent Grant Tinker a telegram and George Peppard said, don't do it, pal. Don't do it. Don't do it, Peppard said to me. I sent it to him and I said, this is third rate executive ship. I said, we do the best work we can and we're number one, why are you doing this to us? And then he sent me a telegram back, which I have kept, saying, well, you're assuming that that was true, what you read. And I said, well, I checked with the writer, the journalist, quote unquote, who he said, he talked to you and this is what you said. And indeed he did. And this is a tag to all of this. He, after the show was over, it was cancelled, several years afterwards, I have received a phone call from his assistant saying [12:13] Brandon wants to talk to you. And I said, sure, I'll talk to him. And I met with him in this basement office, 20th Century Fox. And I walked in and there was nobody there but Brandon Tartikoff sitting at a table and he apologized to me. [12:31] His daughter had been in a very serious accident and it changed his life. It was one of these things. And he apologized to me. I'll never forget it. And this does not happen in show business. It does not happen. And I said, thank you. Thank you so much for that. I said, and then I went into my spiel about being an actor. And that I, you know, you do the best job you can, whether you're doing Shakespeare, whether you're doing a show, or whether you're doing The A-Team. You do the best job you can. It is the same job if you're good and you love your work. It doesn't matter. You do the best thing, the best you put. You're not walking through it. I said, that's what we were doing. And we happened to be number one. And why did you rain on the parade? You know, I asked him and he gave me some explanations as to the the exigencies at the top of a TV network. And I, so at any rate, that that that's the experience. That's the beginning and end of that experience, really.[13:43] And I carry with me. How did you cope with that fame? And you were what, 30, 32, so you weren't young, young. But still, when you're thrust into that level of publicity, how did that affect you personally and how did you cope with that? Well, you know, I was fortunate that I was working since I had been working since 69. I spent 13 years in regional theatre. I spent years in New York, three Broadway plays. I had a lot of experience. [14:17] Really, they walk in the boards, doing all the grunt work, getting there. And I, fame was not a, I was known and all my interests in theatre were to be, this is a joke actually, but never the same actor twice. I mean, that's it. You didn't want to do the same thing. And here I was, and I forced the idea that this actor, this character would be different in each episode, which the vice president of NBC said, that's the way you comb your hair differently. You should be the same. We want you to be polite on this. And I said, no, no, no, no, no, I don't wanna do that. I wanna be different in every show. And so I maintained, I think, because of the work that I had had. When you do the classics, when you're in, and I don't mean this, when you have the great opportunity to play a Shakespearean role. [15:22] You understand something about talent, about what goes into writing, brilliant writing, and then schlock writing. I mean, you see it all. And when you've been given that opportunity, There's a humility that hits you. So fame was never something that I wanted. I wanted to be able to – and I've had this ability. I've been able to go to a department store or take my daughter to a mall and not be recognized, which is – I'm telling you, I have worked with – I mean, I worked with Paul Newman and Paul Newman was, it was not a, he, he told me he couldn't go anywhere. He was a prisoner of his fame. [16:12] George Peppard was a prisoner of his fame. I mean, the closest I think I've ever gotten was somebody said, your voice sounds familiar, do you know my brother? I'll say, no, I don't know your brother. Then every once in a while, somebody recognizes you, but it's a curse. [16:33] It is a curse, really. If you have a family, if you want a family life, if you want privacy, which I think is necessary for survival in this business. I mean, I've seen a lot of actors drop to their knees and open cardboard tubes and pull drugs out. You know, and that's fame. And you ask them, that's it, it's driven. You know, you gotta have that fame, you gotta have that fame, you gotta. And it's not what I wanted. I really am a repertory actor, that's it. I'm a repertory actor. I spent one year in Houston, at the Alley Theatre in Houston, and it was one of the greatest years I've ever had. And I never wanted to leave. And someone told me, that's why you have to leave. I would have stayed there. I could have stayed there. But my agents all told me, you have to leave. You can't stay here, or your career will be over. And I said, but I love this. And they said, you won't love it when it dries up there. You know, you have to go to a bigger, a bigger yard in essence. But I'm really a repertory actor. That's it. [17:47] Your last I think your last TV role was 2001. I will get into the voice side later, but your last 2001. Why did, why did it end there? Was a personal experience? Was it just choice? Oh, yeah. No, it was a really a personal experience. It was CIA. 2001 was... [18:17] I went in for wardrobe fitting, and we were at the Memorial Cemetery, Veterans Cemetery down in Wilshire Boulevard, and that's where it was being shot. And I walked in, and this is nothing, I won't mention the name, I shouldn't have even said what the show was. Just someone in the wardrobe room. We were talking about 9-11. We were talking about what had happened in New York. I had a lot of friends in New York, of course, obviously. And she said, I don't have any connection to that. I don't know why everybody – I just don't have any connection to it, you know? She still connects? And she rubbed it off, you know? And I said, I mean, life was – rules were at that point not easy to come by, actually. And I said I can't do this, you know, I can't work. This to me was a sign, a sign from God. I'm not joking. You look for these things. This was a sign that this was the wave of the future. There was going to be a lot of denial and there was going to be, and it's complicated. I mean, I'm not judging anybody. [19:43] But for me, I had an opportunity to move into another direction, and I decided to do the other direction because I could be anybody, anything in voiceover work. Video games were just becoming big at the time, and the whole business was very big. And voice work was something that, as an actor in the theatre, I always did. If I couldn't find the voice of the character, I couldn't find the character. And so that was it. I mean, the fates came together at that time. And I was doing radio at the time on a fairly regular basis with a friend named Don Ecker. And I just moved in that direction. [20:36] I mean, there were opportunities there, but I knew things had changed at that point. Yeah, well, we'll get into that. I want to pick on being a conservative in the, the movie and TV industry, and that seems to be opposites. We've seen more and more, and I think it probably gets worse. And you're Roman Catholic, you're conservative. And what has been your experiences having a faith and also having a conservative belief? How does that fit into the showbiz industry? What has it been like for you? Well, going back, if you look at, [21:23] if you look at the world that we're in today, the Judeo-Christian world, which is, and I have to say if I have one criticism of modern Christianity prior to today, and I mean going back, because there's a lot of things I could say about today, which we will, I'm sure. But one of the things which always struck me me was about Christians, was their antipathy for the Old Testament, the Torah. It is Judeo-Christianity, and if a Christian doesn't understand that the Old Testament is their testament, there's, a problem. And they don't, indeed. In Bible study, the number of times that I heard Christians say oh, that's not my God. I want to get out of this. I want to get to my God. Well, that's two gods. [22:24] I mean, there is the Trinity, which is three gods in one, right? I mean, we do have that mystery, but we are monotheistic. And Christ's Old Testament was his Old Testament. He was here to fulfil the Old Testament. This is what he said, that it is the Father. You're speaking of your father. This is Christ's father and the Torah, the law as it was laid down is your law. It went on to the New Testament. [22:58] You know, and Catholics, I mean, I was raised a Catholic, and when I found out that it wasn't, thou shalt not kill, but thou shalt not murder, you know, the wheels begin to turn, and you try to think as best you can about these things. But there was a disconnect between the Old Testament in the New Testament. But that has to do with my criticism of my own faith. In motion pictures in the film industry, it was under attack, as it is today. Christianity is—and Judeo-Christian ethic, the West, everything that has been built through the Judeo-Christian ethic is under attack and they want to destroy it. [23:55] And basically at the very front of that is the communist wagon, and it always has been. And you can go back to 1918 or whatever and read about it, and they tried every which way from Sunday to do it, and they always failed, and now they've found another way of doing it. And they have succeeded by going after our children when we didn't know they were going after our children. But as Christians, we're pretending that it wasn't important to be mothers and fathers and the nuclear family really wasn't that important. Well, then why were they trying to destroy it? And why has it been number one? [24:35] Because and I'm going to say something else here in a second, which I'm pointing to, there's a quote. This is the technique that they have used, and you didn't know it, but you felt it all along. You felt this, but you didn't know it. [24:57] A quote by, it's attributed to Oscar Wilde. And I think it is his, I don't think, I don't think, I think it is his quote. And it is pithy and accurate and brilliant and beyond belief descriptive of everything. Everything in the world is about sex, except sex. Sex is about power. And boy, when I read that, I said, is this, did he really say this? Is it? And it hit me from every direction. The entertainment business in every which way is about sex. Novels, books, television, commercials, life itself, clothes, it's all about sex. And it goes back to God's edict to humanity. [25:56] Go forth and multiply. This is the power of procreation, is sharing in the power of creation. That power was given to all of us. We don't know, I mean, people have talked about it, but you don't, we don't know where that came from, except from God. And it is something to, what do we do with these gifts? Do we throw them away? Or do we say these are precious? [26:30] And you see by the people that you meet, those who recognize the gift and those who don't recognize the gift. And you are asked not to recognize it on a daily basis. And as a child, if you think back to your childhood when sexual urges, whether you're—and of course, I can't tell you what a woman goes through, but I can only tell you what a kid goes through—boy, when you're going through puberty, the whistles and gongs are going off, and you're you're having dreams at night and you can't stop it. [27:03] Everything is at the wrong moment and you're not purposefully thinking about it, but it's a force to be reckoned with. And you understand it as you grow older that this force is to bring you to someone else, to love, to have a family and to create the next generation and then everything changes after that. If you can contemplate that greatness, that extraordinary thing, and realize that the world seems to want to distort it, well, you realize the powers that are set up against Judeo-Christianity. And who say, we don't want the Ten Commandments, we don't want that Old Testament rag, we want freedom, free, and of course I went through that in the 60s and 70s in school, and I saw it. I mean, I was part of it in that it bounced off of me at every moment. And being a Christian, you stay in it. [28:10] I stayed in my Christianity. This is another tale. When I got to school, to college, I mean, I had 12 years of Christian education, right? I wanted to be an actor and I went to Towson University, which had a great theatre program. And it was the first time that I was in a purely secular environment. The thing that killed me was that everybody hated their parents. Everybody hated their parents. I mean, nobody wanted to, nobody had a good thing, I loved my parents. And I used to say, I used to have a long bus ride home and I used to sit in the bus looking out the window saying, why do I love my parents and I can't find somebody who loves their parents? What is that? Well, I can't say that I answered the question, but the answer was in the destruction of the family. [29:10] It was in the destruction, and it had started then. Not my mother and father. And then here's the next aspect, and I think that this plays a very big part in all the trouble we're having today. I never wanted to do something that shamed my parents, that they would be ashamed of. I felt shame. I still do. I feel shame. It was given to me by my mother and my father. Now, none of us are perfect. I know my mother wasn't perfect, my father wasn't perfect. I'm not perfect, but I feel shame and shame is rare. Now, look, I was listening to your podcast [29:58] with Father Calvin Robinson. Right. Goodness, you make me blush. No, no. And no, but he said something. He said he said something about drag queens in the sanctuary. [30:19] I mean, we're talking about there's no shame if you do that. Before, shortly after, I guess we communicated, I went to here in Los Angeles, I went to the Church of the Nazarene in Pasadena, and I saw two, I don't know if you know these individuals, Dennis Prager, do you know Dennis Prager? Dennis is a Jewish scholar. I've been following him since since 1982, when I came to Los Angeles. He had a program called Religion on the Line, one of the great minds and thinkers of all time. In fact, many times after listening to him, I would say to myself, I'm a Jew. That's what I am, I'm a Jew. [31:05] And then there's Eric Metaxas, who is a Christian writer, thinker, and these two were in a program, an evening called ask a Gentile, Ask a Jew. And it was a great evening, two hours of just two brilliant people talking about the state of religion. What was the final outcome, sad outcome of the evening? Metaxas and Prager both came to the conclusion that we, organized religion, has failed us. It has failed us. The churches and the synagogues have failed us. They have not stepped up to defend their own dogma, their own beliefs. And we are left flailing, individuals almost. And we are struggling to connect, which is what you and I are doing right now. [32:08] I was dumbfounded by that, but at the same time, that's what I'm thinking. That's what I've been thinking for quite some time. And all of these things, you know, we are under attack from every direction. And in your own mind, what do you do? Do you throw it away? Do you say, well maybe I'm thinking the wrong thing. No, no, no, that is not the case. Because when you think about why our children, [32:47] and if you've seen this now, why our children are being told that they don't know what their sex is, Metaxas brought this up in the evening that this is one of those key cardinal points. You can see. This is a perversion of reality, because you know what the truth is. If you have a Supreme Court justice, as we do in the United States, who says, I can't define a woman, and that children, 10 year old children, 11 and 12 year old children, secretly, don't tell your parents the hallmark of a lie. Keep it secret. Don't tell anybody. Don't even tell yourself. [33:26] You know the hallmark of concealment, consciousness of guilt, everything that you know is, they are trying to tell you you know nothing and everything you know is not to be believed, but they are to be believed. That children, there are not boys and girls, that men can give birth, that there are, you know, these things that we, it's incomprehensible what's going on and it's all to destroy right from wrong. Well, that's because it's kind of, I look at it a different way. One is the difficulty of living in a society where evil is slightly different, where it's a slippery slope and it may be difficult to distinguish what you believe with something that's slightly different. But we see such a chasm now between what is true, what is right, and the collapse and degradation of society. So in theory, that means it is easier to be a Christian because it's easy to be distinct, because what you face is the opposite of what you believe. And and that's why it's curious and interesting to see churches going down this line whenever there's, [34:38] there's no question of what we see is the opposite of what is written in scripture. Oh, there's no question. You know what you're saying? You can be crushed. You know, you can be crushed at the same time. You have to deny so many things to accept what's going on. And yet you say to yourself, how do I stop it? The war that's going on in Europe at this moment. And this is why I love Bannon. I mean, I just, I adore him. I never got to, I would not, and I'll say this, Andrew Breitbart brought me out of the closet politically, really politically. I was doing a lot of things, but saying a lot of things that were in the basket, but he truly brought me out. When was this? When was this? . This is a through also through Gary Sinise and friends of Abe. [35:48] Boy, this is this is in the, I have to say nine. I'd say 2000 to 2005, 2006. By 2008, yeah, I have to say around 2005, 2006. [36:09] I was like a Jew wandering in the desert alone and wondering where God was. And a friend of mine who I worked with on Fat Man and Little Boy, a film about making the atomic bomb, called me up, his wife was a casting director, and he said, you know there are conservatives just like yourself who get together on a regular basis. I said, no, I did not know that. He said, would you like to go to a meeting? I said, I would love to go to a meeting of other people. I went and it was Gary Sinise and Andrew Breitbart, and a lot of other extraordinary people who were all, and this is it, seeking, trying to make connections. And so Andrew said, you have to become public. He had big Hollywood and big, you know, all of, he had all of these big websites. And he asked me to write an article. [37:09] He heard me in private describe a situation that I was in, in which I was at the Williamstown Theatre Festival. I had just come back from working with Charlton Heston and I had a long discussion, which was just a wonderful discussion in the hallway at the Amundsen Theatre about Ronald Reagan becoming president, right? And this individual who was a big producer in Hollywood overheard me talking about Ronald Reagan, and he said, Oh, so you're a Reagan a-hole, you know? [37:58] And yeah, that's right. That's right. And I was, I got to tell you, I mean, this was a big guy at the theatre too, that I was working, and I went cold. I went cold. I said, yes. I said, you know, not as a, you know, and I pulled back. I was, you know, he was attacking me, obviously, with his language. And I was shocked. I was totally numbed. And I didn't want to continue with this discussion, because otherwise there would have been a blowout. But that was how in 78, 80, I understood that there was this chasm there. And [38:51] it only got worse as time went on. As I said, fortunate, it is not a zero-sum game. Fortunate there was for me, and I did have an audition for this producer. There was a writer there and a brilliant writer. We had a fallout, but he's just an extraordinary writer. His name is Tom Fontana. He wrote some very, it was St. Elsewhere, producer, writer for St. Elsewhere, The Wire, many wonderful programs. And he did not know about this problem that I had and invited me to read for a part called Fiscus in St. Elsewhere. And I walked in and there was this producer [39:37] who has passed away since now. And Breitbart wanted me to write about him. And I did, and I regretted it, but I don't regret it. But anyway, so I walked in and he was there and he said, oh, what are you doing here? And to this audition, and I said, I'm here to read for the part of Fiskars. He said, it's not gonna be a Reagan blank hole on my show. So you know what that audition was like, right? You know, I mean, and I walked out and I just, I said, God, is this going to be it? You know, is this the way it's gonna be? And at any rate, so, but I finally did write this article about him and I lost a lot of friends for writing it. And then at the same time, and I was one of the first actors for Breitbart to use my name. This was what he wanted because a lot of pseudonyms, writing for Big Hollywood, And which I understand, please, I did not do this, I did this [40:40] for personal reasons, but not because I'm brave or anything of that nature. I just was at the point where I was going to tell the truth. This is the way it's done. And you are excluded on a cocktail napkin. And that cocktail napkin is sent around to other producers and you're excluded. It is not a zero sum game because there was Stephen J Cannell and he hired me. [41:03] But the majority of people will not, unless, of course, you bring in 30 or 40 million dollars over a weekend. And then they'll hire you. But the attack on Judeo-Christianity, the attack on conservatism, which is a hallmark of Judeo-Christianity, is now at its height. It's never been greater than it is today. Well can I, you're obviously being a Christian, being a conservative within an industry within the workplace, but then you had your podcast, then you're doing, you mentioned Breitbart on the Glazov Gang, that's something different. You're stepping outside and actually you're much more public. I mean was that a conscious decision to actually begin to use radio, use the internet, use TV and speak of these issues as a Christian and conservative. Yes, absolutely. And the reason for that was I, you know, if you're, [42:13] make a point, like I would not, as Murdock from The A-Team, go out and evangelize. I wouldn't go out as Murdock from The A-Team, vote for. Right? [42:34] You're taking something that is not related and you're trying to use it to get somewhere. Where it's not as, to me, as honest as separating yourself out, creating a podcast, creating another world. This is where I talk politics. This is where I talk my personal life, my personal beliefs. This is where I do it. And so you come to me and then we go out from there. And I associate with people who talk about religion, and I associate with people who talk about politics, and I talk it there in that realm. [43:19] There's obviously a mixture. You can't divorce yourself from who you are and what you've done, and I don't. But I've never hidden my religion. I've never hidden my Christianity, as some people do. That's not the way to do it either. Yes, I am a Christian. I'm a Judeo-Christian. I believe in the Old Testament and the New Testament. And it's, for me, not a contradiction in terms. And so I express it that way. I express it here on my own podcast when I had it. And if ever anybody wanted to talk about it, I was willing to do it. And I attended every event, and with Jamie and [44:10] the lovely Anni Cyrus, that was just wonderful. That was absolutely wonderful. I went to a David Horowitz retreat, where I met Jamie. I had the great fortune, an opportunity to speak at a Freedom Concert event. Many of my public heroes were there from various political websites. And I got to meet them. And that's where I met Jamie. And he invited me on to engage with him on his program, the Glazov Gang. It's so funny. But, you know, and I met just so many fabulous people. And there are so many things right now, which I see things now and can talk about things that I couldn't prior to coming out with Andrew. And that, of course, is Bannon's big thing, Andrew. Andrew, I mean, he's – and Andrew changed – just brought the world together. I mean, his vision, his understanding of what was really going on was unique. And he was right into – he was dead on about everything. And I still don't agree with most of his friends. [45:38] I have very dark feelings about what happened to Andrew, even though I know he had a heart problem. But when the, I mean, you know what I'm talking about. I don't want to get into that aside, but I know the darkness that's out there and a voice like his had to be stopped. And they don't stop at anything. They don't. And we have now been witness to it in the United States for five or six years. Nothing stops them. Nothing. And they will lie to your face. They do not care because they are the voice of something that is dark. [46:20] That's not a knife you feel in your back. That's me scratching it. Oh, but I feel blood. No, that's not blood. You know, that's it. That's it. Can I finish off with your voice? Now, it is always wonderful to have a guest coming on and the sound is absolutely beautiful, crystal clear. You're coming through. Obviously, your voice is your how you make your your living now. And you've you've moved away from being kind of front of the camera to doing voice. Tell us what that is like, because it means you talked about fame and that means you're not recognized. It is your voice. And I remember watching, you were the one who, again, using your voice in all different ways, even back as in The A Team. But tell us about, how that works in the industry. Well, in the industry, it doesn't. You have to be very fortunate. One of the first casting directors I ever met was Sylvia Gold, was her name. And she met with me, my first agent introduced me to her, and she said. [47:36] Oh, darling, she said, you don't understand. No one wants to hear that stuff. That's in the theatre. They want to hear you. They want to hear your voice. It's your voice that's important. And I said, no, it's not. I said, that's not what it's not. You know, I'm a vampire. I'm a thief. I listen to other people. I'm a mathematical idiot. And God gave me this ability to hear people's voices. And I said, I remember being seven years old. I was about seven years old, and I remember the first impression I ever did, which was, James Mason in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, he had a line, it was, I am dying now, and the Nautilus is dying with me, present as him. And I said this out loud to myself, I am dying now, and the Nautilus is dying with me. And the more I did it, the closer I got. And I would spend time, and I became an Anglophile, and I started listening to Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole, and I found that if I put headphones on, their voice came from the middle of my head, and I could steal from them. I could do impressions of their voice, and even if it wasn't perfect. [48:52] It became another voice, another character. And I began to identify with my relatives that way. I started doing impressions of my relatives and they did not like it. And I started doing impressions of my teachers at school and the kids liked it, but the teachers didn't like it if they heard it. And that's how it started. And I just had an ear for people's voices and dialects in the United States. And that's it. And in terms of, well, if I'm coming across crystal clear, That's because somebody recommended this microphone, the Heil PR-40, which is a dynamic microphone. Most people are wedded to very expensive condenser mics. But this is a rejection, it's a cardioid. People can open the door and come into the room and you won't hear it, you'll just hear me. Art Bell used this mic and he was always extolling the virtues of this mic, and I listened to him. And so, you know, and it's inexpensive, comparatively speaking, so it's available. [50:04] And so I, but I have spent years studying and recording people's voices and listening to them and trying to reproduce them. And one of the great thrills in my life was, I was, I knew somebody who was intimately involved with Laurence Olivier. [50:29] Peter Shaffer, and he wrote Amadeus, right? And he was just an absolutely spectacular man. And he gave me the play Amadeus to read before it was on Broadway and in Great Britain. And he was just a sweetheart of all sweethearts anyway. So I went into a bathroom and I did my impression of Olivier doing the Othello chamber scene. And I gave it to someone who was with Peter and asked them to listen to it to see if I caught any of it. And he said, this friend said, Shaffer listened to it and said, well, he said if Larry was very, very sick. But it was, you know, it was one of those, I, God, to have, you know, I, I, I think I listened, I don't know, I can't, I can't repeat anything that I've ever done myself, but I, I think I listened to the chamber scene from Othello, Olivier's Othello a thousand times. And that's how you learn when you're a young kid. That's how you learn. And you say, oh, my God, every comma. I followed it along, and he followed the text. [51:49] Amazingly, he followed the text and was dead on. And those are the kinds of things that I became very attuned to people's voices, and recorded them. And I have a lot of recordings and sometimes I still listen to Burton's Hamlet. And Gielgud, of course, directed it. [52:21] And it was considered a disaster on Broadway, but there's some great, there's just to capture, it is a miracle that I can sit here and listen to people who have passed away as if they're in my room. It is, it is a miracle, a technical miracle, but a miracle, or listening to the great choruses, motion picture choruses from 1958 and 60, and I listen to these grand voices, and I say, most of these people are not here now, But I'm listening to them and I get emotional about it. So anyway... You've also embraced just finally about. I think I looked through and you've done the voice for like 100 video games. Well, yeah, I guess that's just if you're you're good at something, then that can be used across different, different industries. Oh, exactly. and video games are bigger than motion pictures now. And the hardest thing I was ever asked to do, and we were asked to do this periodically, you know, these great actors, right? [53:31] Sir Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, right? Those two individuals. Do impressions of both of them, to do them in the same thing. They were in X-Men, right? So I can't do them because they're so close. And you just do. You're asked to do it. They can't make it to do a pickup, right? So they ask an actor to come in and do a line, half a line. That's it. I can't do Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart at the same time. But I can't. I can't do it because they're too close. And yet they're different. But I have not been able to. I mean, you know, you in Ian McKellen with Bilbo Baggins, you know, he's called the essence. [54:19] Patrick is done it. Patrick is down there, too. But I can't do them together. I cannot do them together. I have to do them separately. And Patrick is he was a delight, by the way. Very liberal, very liberal. But one of the great things about Star Trek is my greatest experience that I've had in Hollywood, because there was little to no politics on that set, and everybody was a delight to work with. Everyone, absolutely everyone. And walking around on the great Paramount lot was a thrill. Anyway, sorry, I'm getting side-lined. I loved all those people. I did. I really did. Dwight, I so appreciate you coming on. It's absolutely wonderful to speak with you and hear about your experiences in the industry. So we really do appreciate your time today. Well, it's my pleasure and I am very grateful. It's been a long time since I've done anything like this. Oh, maybe it'll become more regular. Well, thank you, Peter. Thank you so much, Dwight. Thank you. Bye-bye.

With their unique set of skills, they became vigilantes for hire, taking on missions to help those in need while constantly evading capture from the military police. Milo and Jamie explore the show's lasting impact on popular culture, from its catchy theme song to the behind-the-scenes tensions between cast members.

En Star Trek, Dwight Schultz da vida a Reginald Barclay, un ingeniero con una timidez enfermiza y un mundo interior un tanto retorcido. Esto permite ver en la holocubierta a unas versiones ridículas de nuestros héroes de la Enterprise. Así, los actores se divierten a la vez que se introduce el toque de humor tan necesario en Star Trek de vez en cuando.

Brief Overview - [http://www.american-historama.org/1945-1989-cold-war-era/strategic-defense-initiative.htm] 57. The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), also known as Star Wars because it promoted ideas such as lasers and computer-guided projectiles, was the US response to possible nuclear attacks and it was introduced on March 23, 1983 during the presidency of Ronald Reagan. 58. The objective of the SDI program was to develop an advanced anti-ballistic missile system to enable the United States to prevent missile attacks from the USSR and other countries during the Cold War. 59. The idea was to set up many space satellites that would detect the launch, and then shoot down, any enemy missiles. 60. The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) was cancelled in 1993 and replaced with the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) renamed the Missile Defense Agency in 2002. 61. 10 SDI Highlights 62. #1: Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) was the military strategy adopted during the Cold War Arms Race. It assumed that both the USSR and the US would refrain from launching nuclear weapons, knowing that the other country would retaliate and cause the complete nuclear annihilation of both the attacker and the defender. 63. #2: The Strategic "Defense" Initiative program focused on strategic defense and replaced the "Offensive" doctrine of mutual assured destruction (MAD). 64. #3: SDI became the subject of intense political controversy. A Washington Post article published the day after the speech, quoted Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy describing the proposal as "reckless Star Wars schemes." 65. #4: Critics in the media used that term frequently (despite Reagan's request that they use the program's official name), implying it was an impractical science fiction. This did much damage the program's credibility. 66. #5: Many critics believed that it would extend the arms race into space and cause the USSR to expand its own offensive nuclear weapons. 67. #6: SDI began extremely expensive research projects costing billions of dollars every year. The research projects included space-based laser weapons, spy satellites and space-based interceptors. 68. #7: In response to the US research projects, the Soviets began work on developing their own version of Strategic Defense Initiative. 69. #8: The efforts by the Soviet Union to match the expenditure of the U.S. in the Cold War Arms Race contributed greatly to nation's economic problems. 70. #9: Soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev realized that the USSR could not afford the Cold War Arms Race or match the massive expenditure involved in the US Strategic Defense Initiative. In 1991, Mikhail Gorbachev fell from power and the Soviet Union was dissolved. 71. #10: The SDI had itself become an economic weapon and was instrumental in causing the downfall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. 72. Audio Clip: 73. Question: Do you think the threat of Nuclear War has grown or shrunk during your lifetime? 74. Music Scene 75.

Run (Joseph Simmons) @ 19 yrs old / DMC (Darryl McDaniels) @ 19 yrs old / Jam Master Jay (Jason Mizell) @ 18 yrs old 106. The trio grew up in Hollis, Queens, a moderately stable African American community in New York. / DMC was born to a teenage mother and was adopted three months later. 107. Run and DMC were childhood friends 108. 1978: JMJ discovers the turntable at age 13. By age 14 he is spinning for live crowds at block parties. 109. 1980: The trio met via the emerging hip-hop scene at Hollis' "Two-Fifths Park". Simmons and McDaniels rapped in front of Mizell at the park, and the three became friends. 110. 1981: Fortunately for them, Run’s older brother, Russell Simmons, had his foot in the music business, as the manager for rappers Kurtis Blow and Whodini. Russell made Run Kurtis Blow's DJ and helped him record the single “Street Kid,” but it went nowhere. Later that year, the friends decide to become a crew. 111. 1982: Russell agreed to help the new group record a single and get a record deal, but on one condition –McDaniels change his stage name, from “Easy D” to “D.M.C.” 112. 1983: Run DMC hit the scene with their debut 12-inch single for “It’s Like That,” with “Sucker MCs” as the B-side. The out-of-the-box success of these two songs was the beginning of a new era for hip-hop. 113. Run-D.M.C. exploded out of Hollis, changing popular culture in general. Not only was their sound different, so was their dress. Earlier rap stars fashioned their looks after the spangled superhero costumes of 1970s funk acts like Parliament-Funkadelic and Rick James, Run-DMC appeared in their signature bowler hats, black leather jackets, unlaced Adidas athletic shoes, and black denim pants, establishing the more casual look of hip urban youth. 114. They were the first rappers to have a gold album - Run-D.M.C. (1984). The first rap act to appear on MTV, becoming popular with the cable channel’s largely white audience with their fusion of hip-hop and guitar solos on hits such as “Rock Box” (1984) and a 1986 remake of Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way”. 115. Although the group never officially disbanded, their recording and performing activities decreased significantly in the 1990s and in 2002 Jam Master Jay was fatally shot at a recording studio in Jamaica, Queens. 116. Run-DMC was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009 and received a Grammy Award for lifetime achievement in 2016. 117. Meanwhile, up the coast near Boston… In 1978, Robert Barisford Brown (@ 9 yrs old), Michael Lamont Bivins (@ 10 yrs old), and Ricardo "Ricky" Bell (@ 11 yrs old) started a vocal group. 118. Ricardo’s friend Ralph Edward Tresvant (@10 yrs old), and the nephew of the group’s manager and choreographer, Ronald Boyd DeVoe Jr. (@11 yrs old) soon joined. 119. Key Artists #2: New Edition 120. For a complete history go watch "The New Edition Story" on BET 121. But the short story is this...They all lived in the Orchard Park Projects in Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, and where heavily influenced by Michael Jackson and The Jackson 5. 122. They scored its big break in 1981, when they finished 2nd in a local talent show. They impressed the singer/producer Maurice Starr, and he brought the group to his studio the following day and started recording their debut album, Candy Girl. 123. Audio Clip 124. Question: These two groups are primarily responsible for hip-hop crossing over to rock and R&B, and therefore a wider and whiter audience. Has that been a good thing? 125. Movie Scene 126. Bill Cosby: Himself 127. After I Spy and before The Cosby Show, Bill Cosby left his own inimitable mark on the arena of stand-up comedy in this live concert showcasing his down-to-earth observations on the rigors and joys of family life. Cosby, using only a microphone and a chair, discusses his take on raising kids and the illogical nature of children and the futility of trying to argue with a child that in the end may be smarter than you. Notable highlights include Cosby's ruminations on the meaning of the all-purpose phrase "I don't know" to kids, and Cosby describing the effect raising children has on his wife Camille's mental state and the pitch of her voice. Containing the basis for the humor of his long-running situation comedy, Bill Cosby: Himself is a polished, occasionally insightful, and frequently hilarious night of comedy from one of the longtime masters of the form. --Robert Lane: https://www.quotes.net/movies/bill_cosby%3A_himself_1089 128. Born poor, the son of a sailor and a maid, he excelled at school, in both sport and academic study, becoming class president and winning a university scholarship while doing part-time jobs to help support his family. Giving all that up, he instantly became successful as a comedian, going on to be the first African American to star in a network TV series (I Spy), as well as the first to win an acting Emmy (three of them, plus one for variety shows and nine Grammies). By the time this performance was recorded, he had completed a doctorate in education, and was about to launch The Cosby Show, the decade's biggest sitcom, which would make him the best-paid entertainer in the world for two years running (1986 and 1987). He also sings and can play jazz guitar and drums. At 75, he's still extremely funny. - https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2012/jul/19/comedy-gold-bill-cosby-himself 129. Television Scene 130. Delirious (1983) is an American stand-up comedy television special directed by Bruce Gowers, written by and starring Eddie Murphy. The comedy became a TV Special for HBO released August 30, 1983.Eddie Murphy in stand-up before all the prosthetic flesh happened. For a generation of naughty schoolboys, this was the video to have; no parent-free gathering or playground conversation was complete without repeating some of Eddie’s profanity-strewn, impression-laden genius. The homophobic opening gambit and an alarmingly ignorant bit on AIDS are jaw-dropping, but there’s no denying Murphy’s supreme on-stage talent — when he’s on more timeless material (ice cream, cookouts, shoe-throwing mothers), few in the world were ever as funny as this. It’s easy to forget how funny Murphy's stand-up really was. Despite being a little dated in subject, this still slays. - https://www.empireonline.com/movies/eddie-murphy-delirious/review/ 131. “The most homophobic standup routine I’ve ever seen,” says another. “Can’t believe all the messed-up things he says about AIDS, including saying how you’ll catch AIDS from your girlfriend if she kisses her gay friend. 80s hateful prejudice in full force.” 132. Murphy apologized for the routine back in 1996, saying, “I deeply regret any pain all this has caused. Just like the rest of the world, I am more educated about AIDS in 1996 than I was in 1981. ”I know how serious an issue AIDS is the world over. I know that AIDS isn’t funny. It’s 1996 and I’m a lot smarter about AIDS now. I am not homophobic, and I am not anti-gay. My wife and I have donated both time and money to AIDS research. I’ve had people close to me die from the disease as well. I don’t know a person who hasn’t been touched in some way by this disease. Everybody knows somebody who is sick. Black people have been hit harder by this disease than any other group of people on the planet.” - https://www.queerty.com/eddie-murphys-homophobic-comedy-special-delirious-now-streaming-netflix-20161229 133. Question: Does he get a pass? 134. The A-Team 135. Four Vietnam vets, framed for a crime they didn't commit, help the innocent while on the run from the military. It’s THE A-TEAM 136. Led by master of disguise, Lieutenant Colonel John “Hannibal” Smith played by the gruff but loveable George Peppard, this group of falsely convicted commandos now work as fugitive mercenaries. Dirk Benedict is the team’s master manipulator and con man, Templeton “Face” Peck. Dwight Schultz plays the certifiable master aviator, Captain H.M. “Howling Mad” Murdock. And you can’t spell The A-Team without Mr. T as master mechanic, Mohawked muscle man, and van driver (with a serious fear of flying), Bosco “B.A.” (“Bad Attitude”) Baracus. But enough jibba jabba. Tune in and watch the plan come together, fool! 137. The show ran for five seasons, with several minor cast changes along the way; the show's eventual decline was attributed to the constantly recycled and extremely formulaic plot. Attempts to win viewers back, by both changing the overall premise and having the A-Team overseen by a former antagonist, worked for only a short while. 138. Logic and credibility were usually ignored for the series' trademark over-the-top explosions, but the show never took itself particularly seriously, anyway: most of Hannibal's disguises were paper-thin, the villains were usually mostly-inept and somewhat one-dimensional, and the weapons that the Team cobbled together from miscellaneous parts were invariably more effective than the machine guns that the episode's villains used. 139. A big-screen version was released in June 2010, with Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Sharlto Copley and Quinton Jackson as the team. The trailer can be seen on YouTube. Tropes go to the respective page. 140. Question: Does anybody care? 141. Webster 142. The post-retirement season is suddenly disrupted for football player George Papadapolis and his wife Katherine when Webster, the orphaned son of a former teammate, moves in. Laughter, and life lessons, in every episode. Webster was ABC's answer to the long-running NBC sitcom Diff'rent Strokes ... especially with its showcase star and even down to the basic concept (a young African American child being adopted by a white family). 143. The showcase star on Webster was Emmanuel Lewis, who played the title character. At 4-foot-3, the 12-year-old Lewis easily passed for 6 or 7 (the character's age at the start of the series in 1983), which was Webster's age when he was adopted by 144. Clark's production company. After the third season ended, Emmanuel Lewis Entertainment Enterprises, Inc. was established and became a third production company. This was actually part of an agreement between Karras and Clark, Paramount, and ABC, in which Emmanuel Lewis would get production credit alongside them for ABC to stop making the story lines be "all Webster, all the time. “The series ran from 1983-1987 on ABC before spending its final two first-run years in syndication. By the time the final first-run episode aired in 1989, Webster was 12 years old and getting ready to enter junior high school; in real life, Lewis had just turned 18. 145. Question: Why didn’t we riot in the streets? 146. Final Vote: Favorite pop culture event/item for 1983?

Dwight Schultz Interview. Lieutenant Reginald Barclay, played by Dwight Schultz, is well-known for being shy and struggling with addiction to the holodeck, but he also had the technical knowledge and ability to think outside the box that could be used to save the day. Dwight Schultz appeared as the popular and unforgettable Lieutenant Barclay over the course of 11 years in 5 episodes of The Next Generation, the movie First Contact, and 6 episodes of Voyager. In this episode of Earl Grey, hosts Justin Oser, Amy Nelson, and Richard Marquez interview actor Dwight Schultz about his role as Lieutenant Barclay on The Next Generation and Voyager. The discussion includes talking about his longtime Star Trek fandom, sharing fascinating and funny behind-the-scenes stories about working in Star Trek and on The A-Team, and the inspiration that the character of Lieutenant Barclay continues to provide to many Star Trek fans 28 years after his first appearance in "Hollow Pursuits."
