Estamos muy tristes en Star Trek Replay porque tenemos que comentar el final de una serie de Star Trek =( Con algo de retraso respecto a su fin, tenemos nuestra pequeña tertulia sobre la temporada 5 de Star Trek Discovery. Aunque no haya sido nuestra serie favorita de Star Trek, y aunque su final estaba anticipado, y era esperado tras cada temporada, sigue siendo triste. Confiamos que las series que la sustituyan tengan más aciertos. Ya en el minuto 80, nos transportamos junto al teniente Reginald Barclay a ‘El reino del miedo', porque a nosotros no nos da miedo nada de lo que nos haga O'Brien. Lo que nos dan los teleñecos del transportador que aparecen en este episodio es más bien vergüenza ajena. Aún así, tremendo episodio por las interacciones Barclay/O'Brien. Por último, queremos agradecer a Z por su fan fiction de Star Trek Replay. Lo comentamos al inicio del programa, y podéis acceder a él en nuestro canal de Telegram (https://t.me/StarTrekReplay) o en el enlace directo https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g9-vDaj_oAwLU0VIco7NV9nqtEHy3EbU/view?usp=sharing También agradecemos al Almirante Stargazer por cedernos su interpretación de la intro de Discovery.

Welcome to 'Its Alright to be Dwight' A podcast with the television, film and voice actor Dwight Schultz, exclusive to Hearts of Oak. This episode Dwight discusses threats to Western civilization posed by communism and radical Islamic groups aiming to undermine Judeo-Christian values. He explores the zero-sum mentality of these groups and their manipulative tactics. Schultz raises concerns about COVID-19 as a planned event for global changes and the lack of accountability in pushing agendas. The conversation spans artificial intelligence, biases within AI, manipulation of scientific information, and the importance of critical thinking in society. Controversial figures like Marina Abramovic and John Podesta are also touched upon, emphasizing the need to question authority and avoid political influences in critical areas like criminal justice. Schultz challenges listeners to think critically about societal issues and the pursuit of truth. 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). A living, breathing cartoon with a seemingly endless selection of voices and accents at his command, Murdock provided the air power for the A-Team's clandestine adventures, provided that his compatriots could break him out of the mental hospital where he resided. One of the show's most popular and memorable figures, Murdock ensured Schultz steady work on television and on the big screen playing Reginald Barclay in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" An accomplished voice actor, Dwight can be heard in numerous hit computer games and in countless animated shows.   Connect with Hearts of Oak...

Show Notes and Transcript Dwight Schultz is our podcaster in residence and we are five episodes in to his zany common sense commentary on this increasingly mad world.  It has been many years since Dwight has done a video interview so this is a special treat, he discusses all things podcast and how this new media medium is having such an impact.  He shares some stories from his friendship with Andrew Breitbart and how he was instrumental in Dwight being so vocal as a Conservative.  We finish off with a call for every lover of freedom to use their voice to calmly speak truth.  We each have a responsibility to help open the eyes of those around us and we will see real change when we seize those opportunities. 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).

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.

Dwight Schultz - Being a Conservative in Hollywood

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). A living, breathing cartoon with a seemingly endless selection of voices and accents at his command, Murdock provided the air power for the A-Team's clandestine adventures, provided that his compatriots could break him out of the mental hospital where he resided. One of the show's most popular and memorable figures, Murdock ensured Schultz steady work on television and on the big screen playing Reginald Barclay in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" An accomplished voice actor, Dwight can be heard in numerous hit computer games and in countless animated shows.

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.

Captain's Log Stardate: 44741.9 With the perverted exploits of Lt. Reginald Barclay behind us, the Apocalypse Video Trek Cast can now move on to Season 4 of Star Trek: The Next Generation with Episode 20's “Qpid”. To say that I'm a little worried about the return of everyone's favorite omnipotent trickster would be a massive understatement. What will Q bring us this time? Pig faced soldiers armed with muskets? An impromptu appearance from a Mariachi band?! Or perhaps...the horniest episode of TNG that we've seen to date? I await Q's appearance with bated breath… I'm your host, Dave, and joining me again are fellow Trek fans and Merry co-hosts, Mike and Jackie. Topics covered in this assignment include the tricky balance of handling work and horniness; we explain how to properly use the Risa “DTF” Statue; and finally, we wonder if Q's interest in Picard veers more into the romantic realm than he's lead on.

Directo desde 'El Equipo A', Murdock aterriza en TNG con este 'Hollow Pursuits', un excelente episodio muy recordado por los fans. 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. Barclay volverá a TNG y, posteriormente, a Voyager donde... bueno, si queréis saber qué papel juega en Voyager y no habéis visto la serie, deberéis escuchar nuestro podcast ;P Por nuestra parte, la charla del episodio empieza en el minuto 54 tras los comentarios de los oyentes.

We’re also joined by The Roddenberries to talk about their upcoming Virtual Extravaganza! In Star Trek gaming, we look at Star Trek Online's Legen–wait for it–dary Mirror Bundle and Bort’s borked weapons. Finally, we head “On Screen” to trek out Discovery’s season 3 premiere - “That Hope Is You, Part 1” Of course, as always, before we wrap up the show, we’ll open hailing frequencies for your incoming messages Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! This Weeks Community Question Is: CQ: Who do YOU think Discovery’s “Big Bad” will be? TREK IT OUT by Jake Morgan Discovery Renewed for a Fourth Season Star Trek: Discovery’s third season took off–or crash landed– this past week, but the cast and crew continue to look towards the future. That’s true both in front of–and behind–the camera, because Star Trek: Discovery Season FOUR was officially announced on Star Trek.com this week! The Star Trek website made the announcement via a 57 second video, with appearances from showrunners Alex Kurtzman and Michelle Paradise–and series stars Sonequa Martin-Green and Doug Jones. But with COVID restrictions, how will the show start filming? Likely in much the same way season 3 wrapped. In an article published on IndieWire, Alex Kurtzman talked a bit about Star Trek’s pioneering home-created visual effects. ”Our editors, miraculously and heroically, took their editing bays into their living rooms, and we cut the entire season, in collaboration, just the way I’m talking to you right now. We also scored the entire season, mixed the entire season, color timed the entire season, all from this laptop [over which this Zoom interview occurred].” Image credit: CBS Kurtzman explained that even actors took the craft home, filming with motion-capture suits so they could be inserted later. ”It’s an actual actor at their home motion-capture studio, which then gets rendered in the computer as a living thing. It’s a real person… Each of our actors have been scanned, so we can actually impose their faces on a body, which is quite something.” The cast is reportedly in Toronto so that they may appropriately quarantine, and there may be a “Mandalorian”-ish AR wall heading to the Star Trek sets. So the future–of the future–looks pretty bright! Star Trek: Discovery on SFX “The World's Number One Sci Fi, Fantasy, and Horror Mag”, SFX, caught up with the cast of Star Trek: Discovery–and its captain Alex Kurtzman–to talk about Discovery’s third season. But, since Kurtzman has the proverbial keys to the Star Trek castle, discussion veered to some of the other Trek offerings. Break out the bibs, polish your silverware, and grab a seat at the table–we have Trek Nuggets. Kurtzman told reporter Darren Scott that Discovery’s jump to the distant future wasn’t always in the cards. The plan was originally to jump a mere 300 years. When pressed about why that was changed, Kurtzman replied ”I can only answer half of your question – I don’t want to spoil things. But I will tell you that one thing that we were very excited about was being entirely free of canon. "Michelle [Paradise] and I certainly felt strongly that jumping 1,000 years into the future just gave us room to invent a lot of things. It allowed us to put Star Trek into a blender, meaning every assumption that you have about staples of the Trek universe can be upended in 1,000 years, because nothing could possibly be exactly what it was. That was a really exciting challenge for us”. Image credit: Future Discovery Freed from the Past(?) Kurtzman continued these sentiments when talking about Discovery’s “Big Bad”–which would NOT be the Borg, because that story was told by Picard. ”Yes! It goes back to what I was saying earlier, which is that putting things in a blender means people who used to be allies are now enemies and vice versa. That’s a really interesting thing to play with, because it forces you to take what you know about Star Trek, and some of the characters and some of the species and aliens, and see them through the looking glass in a different way.”.  When asked about the toll jumping 1000 into the future took on the Discovery crew, and whether the past would still play a part in season 3, Kurtzman responded cautiously. ”I’m trying to answer your question without spoiling too much. [...] Burnham is absolutely going to look to the past and try and understand what happened to Spock. [...] She will dive into that and she will get to see what became of her brother. And that will actually impact the story for her in a significant way. I’ve just told you more than I told anybody about that!” Alex Kurtzman with SFX Kurtzman explained the difficulties of filming during the epidemic, calling it “a very systematised, militarised operation”. But the Franchise Captain wasn’t throwing a pity-party. In fact, he mentioned there was some GOOD coming from the social distancing and crippling feelings of isolation. ”We would have been in production already on Picard, but we couldn’t be because of Covid. It’s pushed our Discovery and Strange New Worlds dates just a little bit, but I think we’re actually planning on staying on track for those. "The silver linings are that Akiva [Goldsman] and Henry [Alonso Myers] are ready to show up and able to really get ahead with scripts. By the time we go back into production, we will have a lot of scripts ready to go, which is not usually how it is for us. We’re always running ahead of the freight train that is production and trying not to get flattened, but this time we actually have some advanced warning with a lot of prep time." And what of the oft-discussed Star Trek films? Kurtzman has some thoughts on those, too. ”I have no involvement in it right now. I don’t know where that’s going. Frankly, I have my hands very full. Having done two of those films, I loved them so much, and I really would love to see continuity and unification between the features and the TV side, because I think it’s what’s good for Star Trek, and that can be done any number of ways.” The article is so full of info, we could spend an entire show going through it. We’ll post a link to the magazine, which features interviews with the cast and even MORE goodies, in our show notes. Mike McMahan on Humanity Following last week's interview extravaganza, Mike McMahan followed it up with - more interviews! Well, at least one more interview. This week the Lower Decks creator pulled up a chair with io9, Riker Maneuvering himself into discussing humanity. McMahan talked io9 reporter James Whitbrook about his feelings on Starfleet, perfection, and humans. ”We’re constantly examining this concept of Starfleet that’s like...everybody knows that Starfleet is the best of us, and they’re perfect, and they’re this unified group that’s out in the stars looking for truth and everything has to be moral and ethical, and Prime Directive-y. But at the same time they’re also human, you know? Every episode of Star Trek is about humanity as much as it is about our future—there’s aspects of humanity that just feel like...Star Trek has humans in it. It’s not a perfect, ideal, robotic future for us.” McMahon continued on topics he covered last week, like replicator programs and the ‘need-to-know’ struggles lower decker’s deal with. He also, again, discussed humanity's need for stories - and how that need affects Lower Decks. ”You see that a lot with our lower deckers, and with the bridge crew as well—humans are a species that gab. We process and we share information that is interesting to us. Part of the humanity on the Cerritos is they’re talking about Roga Danar! They’re talking about Data! These are the things that are interesting to them, and it serves a dual purpose of making that humanity come through and making that examination of context in Starfleet come through.” Image credit: CBS STAR TREK GAMING NEWS The Legendary Mirror Bundle By Thomas Reynolds Does your resume start with the words “bigoted, hateful warmonger” and go downhill from there? Is your superior officer’s back just begging for a knife or eight? Are you pathologically sensitive to bright lights and shirts with sleeves? Then Cryptic has an opportunity for you, you sicko. Invading on October 21st, the account-wide Legendary Mirror Bundle unlocks some of the worst offenses to galactic peace Star Trek Online offers: Burn it, burn it all with the Agony Phaser Torpedo Launcher and Mirror Universe Phaser Dual Pistols Drop bombs and be a bombshell in the Mirror Odyssey, Antares, Sierra, Shorts, Romulan, Bort'asqu, and Leeta Uniforms Build your villainous retinue with the Mirror Porthos non-combat Rottweiler pet and Mirror Hakeev duty officer Show the galaxy you’re not to be trifled with, with faction-appropriate Mirror Universe Registries on all your ships Make sure history always remembers the name of your ship, as long as it’s the Legendary Dreadnought Cruiser The Bundle will cost you 6,000 Zen and whatever shred of humanity you may have still possessed. But who cares: it feels so good to be so bad. Image credit: Cryptic Studios What does this mean for you, the player? If the Bundle only included items, then it'd be for new players who really like Mirror Universe episodes–or Armada members preparing for Mirror Month. However the Legendary Dreadnought Cruiser throws all that math off. Depending on the nature of the T6 trait, it could be compelling for players who favor beam-based loadouts–or even necessary. https://twitter.com/trekonlinegame/status/1318335256584462336?s=20 Legendary Dreadnought Cruiser By Shane Hoover What kind of warship is so tough, so powerful, so dominant that Picard, Riker, Data, LaForge and…Reginald Barclay plotted to steal her from Edward Jellico? Well, as its story was told in the pages of IDW Comics, the answer is, of course, the I.S.S. Enterprise-D. Now the Mirror Universe’s most deadly warship has made its way to Star Trek Online as the T6 Legendary Dreadnought Cruiser. You could certainly call this the evil twin of the T6 Fleet Galaxy Dreadnought Cruiser that has been in the game for some time. The new ship diverges from the Fleet Galaxy Dreadnought in a few key spots. For starters, where the T6 Fleet Dreadnought sports a balanced 4/4 weapon loadout, the Legendary Dreadnought carries a more aggressive 5/3 layout. The Legendary ship also lets you double down on the Tactical abilities with a Lieutenant Commander Engineering/Command bridge seat. As with all Legendary ships, gaining maximum ship mastery grants access to the Starship Traits of its previous T6 variants.  It also comes with a brand new Starship Trait, “Best Hope of the Empire”, which grants a damage buff and temporary hull points on the use of Beam Overload or Lance abilities. Image credit: Cryptic Studios No More Power to Give, Captain By Thomas Reynolds Captains, you may have noticed that your Advanced Phaser or Disruptor arrays just don’t have the destructive pep they once did. Or your Risian Kit Frame doesn't stack powers like it’s supposed to, and the 30-day warranty already expired. You could try turning them off and on again (have you tried that?), or wait for Cryptic to make it all better. On October 17th, Jeremy “@BorticusCryptic” Randall clarified on Twitter that nonspecific issues with the Advanced beam arrays and Kit Frame power stacking were not intentional nerfs. Cryptic will fix them on an equally nonspecific timeline. https://twitter.com/BorticusCryptic/status/1317499703299239936?s=19 Beamable Bankruptcy By Shane Hoover Mobile game developer Beamable, known as Disruptor Beam back when they released Star Trek Timelines, has filed for bankruptcy as of October 1st. According to a VentureBeat article quoting Beamable CEO Jon Radoff, the bankruptcy will not mean the end of Beamable or its employees. Radoff says “[t]he reality of Disruptor Beam was that we built some great games, but we weren’t really able to turn that into a sustainable business [...] But we did create this very valuable technology platform along the way. We will clean up the balance sheet, and then compete like any other startup.” The change at Beamable shouldn’t have any real impact on Star Trek Timelines at this point, since the game is now run by Tilting Point using the Beamable technology platform as a service.

Depending on the nature of the T6 trait, it could be compelling for players who favor beam-based loadouts–or even necessary. https://twitter.com/trekonlinegame/status/1318335256584462336?s=20 Legendary Dreadnought Cruiser By Shane Hoover What kind of warship is so tough, so powerful, so dominant that Picard, Riker, Data, LaForge and…Reginald Barclay plotted to steal her from Edward Jellico? Well, as its story was told in the pages of IDW Comics, the answer is, of course, the I.S.S. Enterprise-D. Now the Mirror Universe's most deadly warship has made its way to Star Trek Online as the T6 Legendary Dreadnought Cruiser. You could certainly call this the evil twin of the T6 Fleet Galaxy Dreadnought Cruiser that has been in the game for some time. The new ship diverges from the Fleet Galaxy Dreadnought in a few key spots. For starters, where the T6 Fleet Dreadnought sports a balanced 4/4 weapon loadout, the Legendary Dreadnought carries a more aggressive 5/3 layout. The Legendary ship also lets you double down on the Tactical abilities with a Lieutenant Commander Engineering/Command bridge seat. As with all Legendary ships, gaining maximum ship mastery grants access to the Starship Traits of its previous T6 variants.  It also comes with a brand new Starship Trait, “Best Hope of the Empire”, which grants a damage buff and temporary hull points on the use of Beam Overload or Lance abilities. Image credit: Cryptic Studios No More Power to Give, Captain By Thomas Reynolds Captains, you may have noticed that your Advanced Phaser or Disruptor arrays just don't have the destructive pep they once did. Or your Risian Kit Frame doesn't stack powers like it's supposed to, and the 30-day warranty already expired. You could try turning them off and on again (have you tried that?), or wait for Cryptic to make it all better. On October 17th, Jeremy “@BorticusCryptic” Randall clarified on Twitter that nonspecific issues with the Advanced beam arrays and Kit Frame power stacking were not intentional nerfs. Cryptic will fix them on an equally nonspecific timeline. https://twitter.com/BorticusCryptic/status/1317499703299239936?s=19 Beamable Bankruptcy By Shane Hoover Mobile game developer Beamable, known as Disruptor Beam back when they released Star Trek Timelines, has filed for bankruptcy as of October 1st. According to a VentureBeat article quoting Beamable CEO Jon Radoff, the bankruptcy will not mean the end of Beamable or its employees. Radoff says “[t]he reality of Disruptor Beam was that we built some great games, but we weren't really able to turn that into a sustainable business [...] But we did create this very valuable technology platform along the way. We will clean up the balance sheet, and then compete like any other startup.” The change at Beamable shouldn't have any real impact on Star Trek Timelines at this point, since the game is now run by Tilting Point using the Beamable technology platform as a service.

In Star Trek gaming, we share with you which game developers are taking actions for a more equitable future. Of course, as always, before we wrap up the show, we’ll open hailing frequencies for your incoming messages Let us know on social media like Facebook, Twitter, or by visiting our website! This Weeks Community Question Is: CQ:  What was your favorite news to come out of the SDCC@Home? TREK IT OUT by Jake Morgan Star TrekUniverse Panel SDCC 2020 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qwmWA59QcQ What a strange year 2020 has been. The US and Iran almost started World War III, there’s a global pandemic, giant murderous hornets - aptly named Murder Hornets - were big news until they weren’t. Civil unrest, an economic rollercoaster, an oily island that drives men mad, social distancing. Wild stuff. So in this weird-and-wild world of social-distancing and goatees-for-all, what of convention season? You may be surprised to learn conventions have, in fact, continued - Sort of.  While some promoters have postponed their events until smack-dab-in-the-middle of the predicted second-wave of Covid-19 *Cough*Creation*Cough* Others have decided to take their stage digital - including arguably the biggest Geek-Con in all the world - San Diego Comic Con. This week, the mega-event streamed its much anticipated panels via the internet, teasing fans everywhere with what is to come in their favorite fictional universe - and ParamountCBS’ Star Trek set the pace. On Thursday July 23rd, the showrunners and stars of Star Trek’s newest offerings pulled up their favorite chair and shared thoughts about what has happened - and what is to come - in their respective Star Trek offerings. We are going to cover SDCC20 a little different than we have in previous years because - well - it was a little different. Star Trek: Discovery It seems only apt that we cover Star Trek’s first “NuTrek” offering - Star Trek: Discovery - at the start. Before the Q&A, Discovery’s showrunner Michelle Paradise led Executive Producer/Director Olatunde Osunsanmi  and the cast of Discovery season two -including most of the bridge crew as well as Anson Mount, Ethan Peck, and Rebecca Romijn - in a table read of the Discovery Season 2 Finale, “Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2”. The read was edited, so it played very tightly, and was interspersed with early special effects layouts and storyboards of some of the action sequences. It was a fun introduction, to be sure, and it was great to see the acting chops of the cast sans costumes, sets, and makeup. But what about Trek nuggets? Oh - there were trek nuggets. While the Q&A was interesting - revealing a POSSIBLE return of more Kelpians, and verification of a stronger romance between Stametts and Culber - possibly the biggest Discovery Season 3 news dropped a few days after the panel. On July 27th, the team released a short video of Burnham holding a tattered Federation flag, which ended with a panel that read “Star Trek: Discovery. New Season October 15”. We have a release date! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYtzFoJqL2s Star Trek: Picard Ending the Star Trek Universe Panel, but coming in number two here on Priority One, was the cast of Star Trek: Picard. Frankly, very little was said about the upcoming season, and it was - in large part - a rehash of things we’ve already covered. The cast was in awe of Sir Patrick, it was nice for the Next Generation alumni to reunite, both Sir Patrick and Brent Spiner were reluctant to return to the roles...et cetera, et cetera.  As always though, it’s fun to watch the banter and admiration of the cast, and Sir Patrick even earned a couple of new nicknames - SPS and P-Stew. Despite the lack of new information coming from the virtual panel, there was some fun news that came a few days BEFORE the convention - Star Trek: Picard is getting a physical medium release!  Announced on July 21st, Picard’s premiere season will be available on DVD, BluRay, and Limited Edition Steelbook on October 6. Included in the release will be the first ten episodes of the season, documentaries, commentary, deleted scenes, and the Short Trek “Children of Mars”. At the time of this writing, the DVD can be preordered for 37.34 US dollars and the BluRay for 47.99 US dollars at Amazon.com https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azicjg_WlPM Star Trek: Strange New Worlds As we mentioned in our first story, the upcoming “Strange New Worlds” leads joined the Discovery cast for a table read and Q&A. As expected, they discussed how Discovery’s second season adventure would affect their characters in the upcoming series - but we’ll get back to that.  Leading into the table read, Star Trek’s Meta Captains - Alex Kurtzman and Heather Kadin - delivered a bit of excitement. In introducing Strange New Worlds, Kurtzman revealed that the team was working on the series as far back as last SDCC. Kurtzman then gave some progress on where “Strange New Worlds” was, production wise. Meanwhile, back at the panel the trio of Mount, Peck, and Romijn discussed Discovery’s effect on their upcoming roles. Star Trek: Animated Finally, the panel covered Star Trek animation! The Star Trek: Lower Decks panel was moderated by series creator and showrunner Mike McMahon, and started with a clip. It begins, much like the teaser, with Boimler’s “Captains log” being interrupted by the loud and spunky Ensign Mariner - who turns out to be celebrating shore leave with a bit of libation. The comedy is cartoony, but with a Star Trek backdrop! After the clip, we are introduced to the voice talent, each describing their characters, what they love about the show, and a BLEEP ridden segment that tones out the spoilers they’re spilling. You can Trek out 16 new images of the series at Treknews.net! But we said the panel covered Star Trek ANIMATION, not Star Trek LOWER DECKS. So what does that mean? Well, we finally know a bit about the upcoming Nickelodeon series! After Kurtzman discussed Strange New Worlds, Kadin talked a bit about the new animated project “Prodigy”. In an announcement on Star Trek.com ”Nickelodeon and CBS Television Studios today officially revealed the title and logo for its all-new animated series Star Trek: Prodigy, which follows a group of lawless teens who discover a derelict Starfleet ship and use it to search for adventure, meaning and salvation.”. The show is vaguely expected in 2021. Star Trek Supports NAACP Legal Defense Fund The leadership, cast, and crew of Star Trek spent a good deal of time talking about Star Trek’s importance, and what makes it relevant today - Inclusion, Respect, Equality. Prior to the Discovery panel Sonequa Martin-Green announced an important message regarding the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. If you wish to donate to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, please follow the link. Thank you This Week in Trek History by Thomas Reynolds To the outside world it was July 28th, 1965, but on a soundstage in Culver City, it was stardate 1313.8. “Where No Man Has Gone Before,” the original Star Trek’s second pilot episode, finished principal filming as Captain James T. Kirk buried a new god under a phaser-triggered rockslide on the surface of Delta Vega. Presumably he had time to put a clean, unripped shirt on before producer Lucille Ball’s wrap party. The people of Earth would first see Kirk’s friendship with Gary Mitchell come to its tragic end over a year later, when “Where No Man Has Gone Before” hit terrestrial airwaves the following September. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIFWiSw4M0I Star Trek Gaming News by Shane Hoover and Thomas Reynolds Star Trek Timelines Event: “No Trouble At All” Some secrets should never be known. Some life should never be sought out. And some organisms shouldn’t be spliced with human DNA and turned into the most horrifying breakfast cereal of all time, LIEUTENANT. Section 31, the Borg, and the Klingon Empire are punting all ideas of ethical scientific research out the airlock in Star Trek Timelines’ impending “No Trouble At All” Faction Event. Kicking off on July 30th and running through August 3rd, the event will feature the new 5-star Technician Fisher from the original NCC-1701 as its ranked reward. Event Crew includes last week’s 5-star faction reward Dr. Edward La Forge, the new 5-star Mother Horta, and the scourge of the Cabot himself: the 4-star Edward “Idiot” Larkin. It is the official position of Priority One Productions that Lieutenant Larkin and the Mother Horta must be kept as far away from each other as our understanding of spacetime allows.  https://twitter.com/STTimelines/status/1287796907096539141 George Takei: Like A (Crime) Boss The command track in Starfleet can take you very interesting places. You might become best friends with a neural parasite, a smear on the side of a Borg cube, or patriarch of the Arakawa yakuza clan. Probably not all at once, though. On July 22nd, the Reno Gazette Journal published an interview with the 83-year-old actor, activist and Star Trek icon George Takei about his voice acting role as criminal patriarch Masumi Arakawa in the upcoming Yakuza: Like a Dragon video game. Takei explains that his motivation for the role comes from his fascination with modern yakuza culture and its samurai roots, saying “Here is this man who, at his core, is a decent human being who lives within that culture and expects that same kind of fidelity. Some aspects demand inhumane fidelity to that code and it's a shared understanding”. Takei also talks about his early life as a Japanese-American in the midst of World War II, and how his admiration for the benshi narrators of silent film lead to his careers in voice acting, theater, and far beyond the stars. Yakuza: Like a Dragon will be available for Xbox One, PS4, and Windows PCs this November. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhqbNaxO82g 5D Chess! Multiverse Time Travel! Are you feeling let down by the inferior minds of Spock, Data, Reginald Barclay, and their intellect limiting Three-dimensional chess? Bored with the Aldabren Exchange and the Kriskov Gambit? Well, then maybe the new 5D Chess with Multiverse Time Travel would be more challenging! The new game, released on Steam by developer Thunkspace, might not be a part of Star Trek, but somehow we think Trek’s great minds would approve. The rules for this brain-breaking chess variation begin from the standard chess rules and standard chess board. Then you introduce the ability to time travel your pieces, creating a multiverse timeline of alternate boards, and things get crazy. We’re talking enough temporal mechanics here to drive Miles O’Brien to distraction. They even introduce a couple of new pieces entirely dedicated to time-travel movement, the Unicorn and the Dragon.  Read some of the Steam reviews of the game, and it feels like Q himself might find this game worthy. For example, one top review reads “I was playing a game against a human opponent online, and at one point they sent a queen back in time from one of the ten timelines currently in play to put five of my past kings into check at once. I sent one of my own pieces even further back to stall, and they proceeded to send one of their queens back to the start of the game to try and beat me before I even got to that point.” Captain, if you’re curious, Trek it out on Steam now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBzX1ybigmw

TNG is introducing us to two different men who are bad with people and compensate in different ways! First up, meet Reginald Barclay, a man with social anxiety so severe he mostly hides in the holodeck in "Hollow Pursuits". After that, Data is kidnapped by Kivas Fajo, a crooked collector of rare items who uses them to make up for his lack of any redeeming qualities in "The Most Toys"! Also this week: figuring out how Reg survived the Academy, Kivas's plan comes together, and the truth of the Eugenics Wars! [content warning: very brief discussion of a real-life suicide] Timestamps: synopses: 3:05; Hollow Pursuits: 10:42; The Most Toys: 42:59

Reginald Barclay.There are few characters who achieved success in more than one Star Trek series. Lieutenant Junior Grade Reginald Barclay was introduced in The Next Generation's season three episode "Hollow Pursuits" and would appear in four more episodes of TNG, in addition to a cameo in the feature film Star Trek: First Contact. However, when Mr. Barclay appeared in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Projections," fans may have thought it was a one-time TNG special appearance on the sister show. However, Reg would eventually become an honorary member of the Voyager crew by establishing himself as their lifeline to the Alpha Quadrant. Darren, Daniel, and Phillip fire up the Pathfinder Project and beam aboard "To the Journey" co-host Charlynn Schmiedt to discuss Starfleet's most neurotic lieutenant. So pull yourself away from the Holodeck and join Earl Grey as they do an in-depth character profile of Mr. Broccoli.    HostsDaniel Proulx, Phillip Gilfus, & Darren MoserGuestCharlynn SchmiedtEditor / ProducerDarren Moser Production Manager Richard Marquez   Content Coordinator Will Nguyen ChaptersBarclay First Thoughts (00:04:00)Geordi's Problem (00:10:41)The Nth.

Look, TNG? We need to have a talk. Just because you did one game-changing, critically-acclaimed, ratings-busting season-ending cliffhanger doesn’t mean you need to keep doing them. “Time’s Arrow, Part II”, is, somehow, worse than the first part and is basically a complete waste of everyone’s time. Later, in “Realm of Fear”, Barclay is back with yet ...

Pathfinder. Reginald Barclay is a fan favorite from The Next Generation despite appearing in only five episodes. But did you realize he appeared in more episodes of Voyagerthan TNG? It took the writers a long while to bring Reg back after his appearance in the second-season episode “Projections,” but once they did he played a key role in getting Voyager home starting with “Pathfinder” in Season Six. In this episode of The Ready Room we're joined by Charlynn Schmiedt, Suzanne Abbott, and Jaime Sanchez to discuss Barclay's counseling session with Deanna Troi, his status as top dog of coolness amongst the holographic Voyager crew, what the episode says about those with addictions, and whether or not there should have been more stories throughout the series about Starfleet's search for the missing ship. In our news segment we look at Rittenhouse Archives' new alien trading cards series, imagine which card series would reel us in, find out what Starship Farraguthas in store for fans, and get an inside scoop on the prospects for DS9 Blu-rays viaThe Digital Bits.    Hosts Christopher Jones and Charlynn Schmiedt   Guests Suzanne Abbott and Jaime Sanchez   Editor and Producer Christopher Jones   Associate Producer Renee Roberts   News Rittenhouse Archives unveils new alien trading cards (2:40) The Digital Bits fields DS9 Blu-ray question (9:45) Starship Farragut launches Kickstarter for "The Crossing" (15:58) Join our discussion in The Babel Conference (20:25) Support Trek.fm through Patreon (25:02) Sponsor: Audible (27:15)   Feature: Pathfinder Intro and Synopsis (30:09) Initial Thoughts (37:02) Reg and Deanna, Welcome Back (45:56) Crossing the Boundaries of TOS and  TNG (53:33) Starfleet Remembers Voyager!
