Actor and comedian Rob Schneider said that he is “absolutely” willing to lose everything for what he believes in and preserving his kid’s futures.
Schneider spoke with Glenn Beck on Monday’s episode of “The Glenn Beck Podcast” and Beck asked him point blank whether he was prepared to lose it all for his beliefs.
“Are you willing to lose it all for what you believe?” Beck asked.
Schneider didn’t even flinch and immediately said, “Absolutely. Because if we don’t have it, then we have nothing.”
“I’m not — I don’t care about my career anymore,” Schneider continued. “I care about my children’s — the country they’re going to live in.”
He continued saying, “And my hope is this — my hope is a beautiful story,”
He went on to tell a story about American fighter pilots during the early days of World War II, who after a tough period, had lost some of their friends in combat. They went to the chaplain and asked him why they should continue to fly into the battle if they were all just going to die.
“This is like the dog days, 1942, late ’42, and like — their friends were getting blown out of the sky,” Schneider explained. “They would go over in the bombers and half would come back, two thirds would come back, you know, but they were dying.”
Humanity has come out of the dark ages,” the chaplain explained, according to Schneider. “We’ve come out of where people get burned at the stake and people believe and go along with this. There’s a darkness that we have come out of into more of an enlightened period. … This is a step back into the … darkest parts of humanity and we need to stand up for that.”
“So they all flew,” Schneider said then, and Beck pointed out: “And we are there again.”
Yeah, and it requires a new set of fliers,” Schneider agreed.
Schneider in recent years has become more and more vocal about the state of our nation and the events occurring.
Schneider also told Glenn Neck about the time he knew that SNL was done.
He described the time Kate McKinnon dressed up as Hillary Clinton and did her cold open right after the 2016 election.
“When Kate McKinnon went out there on ‘Saturday Night Live’ dressed as her and started singing ‘Hallelujah’ I literally prayed, please have a joke at the end. Don’t do this, please don’t go down there. There was no joke at the end and I went it’s over. It’s over, it’s not going to come back. It’s gone.”
In the interview, Schneider also talked about how late-night talk shows are a “comedic indoctrination process.” He said they all sound the same and there are no “independent voices” late at night anymore.
