  Speaker 1: That is corrupt. Yes. It's corrupt. Excuse me for getting angry.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: It's corrupt.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: He is fired up. Actor, movie maker, singer, Robert Davi
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: is not playing around about the future of this country,
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: what's happening in this country, the DSA, the radicals in Hollywood,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: and the re-release of Reagan with even more footage. He
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: plays Leonid Brezhnev in that. You got to check out
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: this interview. He is not holding back. In doing what
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: I do, I oftentimes pinch myself because I'm like, I'm
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: not going to be able to interview that guy. But
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I have interviewed this guy. We actually were on Spaces
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: before on X, and he's just an absolute great mind.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: He's an incredible actor. He's also a singer, if you
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: didn't know. You need to know this. It's Robert Davi. Robert,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: it's good to see you again, man. Thanks again for
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: coming back on.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Great to see you, Joe, and thank you for having me.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: It's an absolute pleasure. I did catch Reagan earlier. When
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: it first was available, I know that it's going to
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: be sort of a re-release with new scenes and everything else.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: And what I didn't even get, and this is going
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: to sound stupid because I know your face easily, but
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I didn't even realize it was you doing Brezhnev at first.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: And I was like, what the? First of all, you're
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: an Italian guy from Queens, you know, and you're playing
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: a Russian leader and you played him so well. I
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: got lost in the part. When you get a part
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: like that, do you have to get into a mindset?
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Because I have no idea how to act. what you
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: have to get into a mindset. I'm going to be
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: a Soviet leader now, and I'm going to act like
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: he might've acted.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Well, I researched first, you research, then, you know, the
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: music I've been to Moscow. I did a movie there
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: years ago, but, uh, every character I take, you know,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: I played a Palestinian in 1988 that they thought it
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: was Palestinian. I played an Orthodox Jew two years ago.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: We filmed in Tel Aviv and in, uh, In Slovakia.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: It's a true story. I play an Orthodox Jew who
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: saves 300 girls from Auschwitz. I played a Colombian drug lord.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: I played, you know, yeah. I mean.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: You're the quintessential character actor. I mean, but then again,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: we Italians kind of look like Jews and kind of
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: look like Palestinians and kind of look like we could be,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: you know, from South America. I mean, so we sort
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: of fit that.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Where are you people from? I'm from
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Naples and Sicily.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Bari and Naples. So Bari and Napoli.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Napoli.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Party's nice. Have you been?
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: I have.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I had no idea that there were rocks in
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the Adriatic Sea. I was cutting my feet up. You
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: had to go buy gel shoes to where to even
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: go to the beach, right?
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Right, right. It's beautiful, though.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: But I mean, in that region, we all sort of,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can tell it's almost familial in that region.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Well, I think also as artists, we have a universal feeling.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I used to love Anthony Quinn because he could play anything.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: And that was, you know, Anthony Quinn could play any
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: kind of nationality, any kind of character. But my feeling
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: is with Brezhnev, Leonid Brezhnev, I learned the music, the
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Russian music.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I then learned I read about him. I watched videos
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: about him and many things.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I wish they had gone deeper with him in the
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: script because he was quite a complex guy and he
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: was probably the longest Soviet leader since Putin. And he.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: He never really wanted to go into Afghanistan, believe it
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: or not. And he was looking for a partner to
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: have a gladness with. He was looking for a partner,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: but Jimmy Carter was not a very helpful person. He
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: was so weak. Yeah, he was very weak. I mean,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: that's the whole story. And he was friends with Nixon.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Brezhnev was friends with Nixon. I didn't know that.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, Nixon.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Not only were they friends, Nixon bought him a car
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: because he loved fast cars, American cars. He was a
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: big fan of the Rifleman TV series and Rawhide. And
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: he also, he loved America. And when I was researching,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: there was no connection between him and Reagan, but I
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: knew there had to be.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: So I was watching a.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Q & A they did together Nixon and Brezhnev did
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: in San Clemente and you know you would turn it
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: off after it's finished but I said let me stay
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: on till the very very last second end and people
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: are going up now shaking hands and the first people
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: to come to Brezhnev guess who Ronald and Nancy Reagan
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: so they knew each other Reagan was governor of California
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: at the time. This was in the 70s. And there
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: was an assassination attempt on Brezhnev in 1968. So when Reagan,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: and it was done by the Politburo. It was the
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: inside job. And when Reagan was assassinated, I think Brezhnev
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: wrote him a letter in prison saying, We don't show
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: that in the film, but I had brought all this
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: research to the guys, and I said, this would be interesting.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: But it wasn't a film about Brezhnev, but it's interesting
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: because Reagan was fighting communism. And that's one of the
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: biggest takeaways. Like, I'm sure you've seen Young Washington.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Yes, of course.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Great movie, right? Yes.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: And Reagan, the generation of today don't realize that in
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Hollywood especially, The Communist Party was alive and well, much
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: like they are today. And Ronald Reagan was one of
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: the individuals that fought that. As a matter of fact,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Sterling Hayden, the actor from The Godfather, who played the
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: police chief that punches Al Pacino, said that Ronald Reagan
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: was a one-man wrecking crew of.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: The Communist Party in Hollywood.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Because at a party at Ida Lupino's house in 1946,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Reagan wanted to speak. William Holden, the actor from Network,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: brought Reagan to this party. They crashed it. And they
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: were shouting it out that they didn't want Reagan to speak.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: And then one actor got on a chair and said,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: he has a right to speak. This is America, free speech.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: And that actor, then Reagan spoke to the jeering of
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: the crowd and of everything. And they took the actor
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: that did that to the back of the room and
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: berated him for 40 minutes. That actor later died of
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: a heart attack because of the political stress he was undergoing.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: And that actor was called John Garfield, a great American actor.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: It's Robert Davi, a great American actor in his own right.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Go and check out everything he does. Great singer, great actor.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: The film Reagan is going to be re-released for the
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: 250th anniversary on September 25th. Go and check it out.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: It's going to have some parts that were not in
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the original. You also know, of course, Robert from Die Hard,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: The Goonies, License to Kill, and a whole lot more.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you this. How did we go from
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: 1980 when Reagan was shot, 1981 when he was shot,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: where he was a guy who fought communism, and we
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: almost laughed at communism. It was so beneath us. We
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: would never let that happen here. To today, we've got
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: a communist that's running New York City. The DSA is
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: a communist party. It's not really the Democrat Socialists of America.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: These are communists. You've got a communist in Michigan that
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: has a chance to win in this Al-Sayed guy. How
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: do you think that happened in about 45 years?
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I know how it happened.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: You see, in the 1920s, the Soviet Union and the
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: communist infrastructure put more money into places around the world
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: to propagate communism. They put more money into America than
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: anywhere else since the 1920s to infect every aspect of
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: our culture. In the early 1900s, Stanislavski, one of the
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: great American, well, great Russian artists, he was an actor
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: who developed what they called method technique, Konstantin Stanislavski. And
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Stanislavski then started the Moscow Art Theater in Russia, and
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: it revolutionized the melodramatic aspect of acting at the time.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: They were brought to the Americas, and the Americans fawned
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: over that technique and that work. Stanislavski subsequently wrote several books,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: affected the acting world, and the cognoscente of American theater
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: and writers adapted and loved as we all do Stanislavski's principles,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: but they then adapted and they were open to the, uh, infiltration,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: not of him, but of the Russian.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Influence that was around the world at that time. And
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of these heads became socialists, Marxists, they were Marxists.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: And, um, it's, it's interesting to trace this whole thing, uh,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: What happened was also then now cut to.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: They infected a bunch of students.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: So a lot of the major actors of the time
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: were lefties, became lefties. Barbara Stanwyck was a conservative, by
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: the way. She was one of the few conservatives, as
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: was Olivia de Havilland at the time.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: And the problem with.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: In the 70s, in the 60s, you had the Weather
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Underground and Students for Democrat Society. Well, what were they doing, Joe?
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: They were blowing up. police precincts. They were blowing up Pentagon.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: They were, they were, they were, they, they're on their
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: website of the, of the Bill Lares and Bernadette Dorn
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: on their website. The recruiting thing was to get the
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: white liberal, the white liberal, hello, white liberal and the
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: black liberal movement, the BLM of the time.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: This is in the 60s.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: 70s.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: And to bring down American imperialism and world communism.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: That was their main focus. When they got.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Arrested and disbanded and they then went into education.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Robert, we allowed it. And that's where they got the
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: indoctrination on our kids. That's where they got the next generations.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: But let's rewind to that period of time. We looked
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: at them as the nutjobs they were. And by the way,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: somebody who is a Democrat is not necessarily somebody who
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: gets along with radical Islam, is not necessarily somebody who
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: gets along with the Democrat socialists of America. A Democrat
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: in the 60s, of course, was a conservative person today.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: So how did they get such a foothold on the education?
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Were we asleep? How did we allow that to happen,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: do you think?
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Because there were You see, Joseph McCarthy, who was, you know, demonized.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: In 1996, the Democrat senator, Democrat senator Daniel Patrick Monaghan. Right.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Wanted the Venona project to be made public. What is
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: the Venona project? Well, the Soviet Union had a undecipherable code.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: And look, communist China today is the same. You know
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: what I'm saying? It's many elements. That's why the David
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Horowitz book, Unholy Alliance, and also Oriana Falaci's book, The
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Force of Reason, really explain the whole Islamic invasion into
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: the countries and the danger of it.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Not that we shouldn't accept.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: But the danger of the radicalization aspect of it that
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: tends to suppress free-minded individuals, just like it does in
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Hollywood in terms of conservatives being afraid to speak and
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: being canceled. So you got that going. But what happened
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: was the, the, um, the Venona project absolutely, most likely
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: exonerates McCarthy and the people he fingered as communist in the,
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: because there were two aspects to it. It was the
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: house on American activities. That was a little bit more
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: wide reaching. And then you had the, um, The McCarthy hearings. Right.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: And the McCarthy hearings, the Venona Project exonerates him. And
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: it says, like even in Roosevelt's cabinet, the head of
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: the Treasury was a communist. The head of the New
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: York Times was a communist. You got to realize in
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: the 30s, there's a tremendous film that shows you what
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: was happening with the.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Walter Durante. Have you heard of him?
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: I have not.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: It's a great film. Watch the film.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: About Walter Duranty, or it's Walter Durant, I think it's
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Walter Duranty. He was a Pulitzer Prize winning New York
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Times journalist in the 30s that wrote these rave reviews
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: of Joseph Stalin in the New York Times. Until today,
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: the New York Times hasn't taken away his Pulitzer Prize
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: or the Pulitzer Prize hasn't.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Been taken away.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Rave reviews, while It was uncovered that he was killing
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: the people in the Ukraine and the farms and all
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: the murders he was doing. There's a film about it
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: that came out that should be like young, plain, played
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: all over. But people don't. And people don't hear about it.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: And it doesn't get promoted. We get popcorn promoted. I'm
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: so sick on Fox News, to be honest with you,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: of the Clancy trial.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's terrible. It's heartache.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: But there's so much going on in this country that
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: needs to be exposed. that they met the Catholic Church.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Another Catholic Church, Joe, was burnt down in America. Now,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: who's doing it? How come there's no, please tell your governor,
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: because my governor, I don't have an access to, or
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: President Trump. There needs to be an investigation on these
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: churches in America that are now getting burnt down. What's
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: going on? And nobody seems to care. If it was
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: a mosque, and there's nothing, I told you, I played
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: a Palestinian.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: I have many, many Islamic friends. That's nothing against any
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: race or religion or anything like that, the extremist of it.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: But if it was a mosque, what would happen?
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Let's be honest. A lot of what comes out of
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Hollywood these days makes a mockery of America. Somehow, we're
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: the bad guys. They make a mockery of our history,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: our values, our faith. There's still a place telling stories,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: real stories that remind us what makes America, the United States,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: worth celebrating. That place is Angel Studios. They're creating unapologetically
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: patriotic films and shows, original films and shows that uplift, educate,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: and inspire. Like Sound of Freedom. Have you checked that
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: out yet? A powerful true story that exposed the horrors
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: of child trafficking and inspired millions to take action. Something
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: to stand for with Mike Rowe. Have you seen this?
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: An incredible tribute to ordinary Americans who risked everything to
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: defend liberty. And the last rodeo, an upcoming heartland drama
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: about a bull riding veteran who comes out of retirement
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: to save his grandson. It's faith. It's grit. It's the
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: kind of storytelling Hollywood forgot how to do. These aren't
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: just good films. They are cultural reset buttons. And when

• 15:58
  Speaker 2: this way. There was a person lynched, happened to be
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: a black person in America in the past month. Turns
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: out her boyfriend or somebody did it that was in
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: this person's circle, yet the media ran with it as
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: if lynchings are back in America and white supremacy is
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: doing it. I don't know why that's the narrative that's acceptable.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: I did television news for a long time. I was
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: a TV news anchor for a long time. I do
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: that now. I'm a commentator. But in that job, it's
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: your job to talk about the church that got burned down.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Not only talk about the so-called marginalized people that had
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: something bad happen to them. And who can we blame?
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: We can blame the oppressors for the oppression. That's the game.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: But that's been the game since you mentioned FDR. That's
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: been the game since then. I wonder if the head of.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: The New York Times was a communist.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: The New York Times still sucks. It's still communist, that paper.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you. So does anybody think, Joe, that that
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: hasn't stopped?
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Why are they still setting the agenda, Robert? I mean,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: the New York Times and Washington Post should not advise
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: us on what we should talk about every day and
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: what we should be reporting on as journalists or commentators
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: or whatever. That's what bothers me. Do these people not
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: realize that if the DSA takes over, and keep in mind,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Mamdani is the kind of Muslim that the theocracy is
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: in Iran. He literally agrees with them religiously. He's not
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: a Sunni. He's a Shia. He believes in the theocracy.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: If they should take this country over, the first people
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: they get rid of are the pride people that are
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: supporting them, LGBTQXYZ that are supporting them, all of the
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: so-called Democrats who are bleeding hearts. They're all gone first.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Do they not realize that? We are on the last
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: legs of a country if we accept a Mamdani or
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: an El-Sayed or a fill-in-the-blank DSA idiot, AOC or Bernie Sanders.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: We're done if we don't wake up. Why aren't we
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: waking up? I hadn't heard about the church burning before
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: you said it to me, and I'm in this business.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: I didn't even know about it.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and because the politicians, The politicians, even on the
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: right and conservative side, are weak.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: They're weak. We have one guy, Trump. One guy comes along, Trump.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: And who's around him? I don't know.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: That's isolating him because this problem is something he should
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: look at.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: There's a few things he should look at. And this
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: is one of them.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: I know that Ron DeSantis is talking about, I don't
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: know if it's true or not, not having Sharia law in.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Florida.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: They just instituted that they had to teach a certain
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: kind of American history, which I think is wonderful in Florida.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: But why isn't the educational secretary coming out? Why aren't
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: we doing an agenda of America? The America first agenda
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: and that any immigrant that doesn't.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Start to learn English. Now, I had a plan, Joe,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: back in the day.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: I wrote it on Breitbart because I've written for Breitbart
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: many years. And I wrote a plan, I think, in 2010.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I met Mitch McConnell. In Hollywood. I sat like him,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: like this with him, across from me.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Right. I said, Mitch, I says, when are you guys
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: going to tackle immigration? And I says, you got to
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: get ahead of this. This is 2010. I says, you
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: got to do it now. And I said, I have
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: a plan. And I wrote about it. The plan I
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: had was, at that time, any illegal immigrant that comes
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: into the country, you give them.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: a certain amount of time to come forward.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: If there's any felony or any bad crime, they get
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: ousted out. That's who you take out. But they have
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: to come out of the shadows. 2010, I go, everyone
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: that's working and doing good and blah, blah, blah, they
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: must now Learn English.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Speak of the English. No, none of this bullshit.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Press five for this and six for that and seven
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: for that.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Learn English.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Pledge allegiance to the United States of America and background check.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: And then they have to do, for every year they've
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: been here illegally, they must, we come up with some
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: plan to that they do volunteer work in a retirement community,
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: an old folks home for children, for whatever it might be.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: They do a certain amount of service, civil service, whether
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: it be the Earth Corps, something for the environment, whatever.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Come up with something where they have to now participate
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: for the amount of time, if it's a year or
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: two years, If it's weekends, whatever it is, you come
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: up with a fair plan.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: What did he say? He had to react to it.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: What did he say?
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Nothing. Deafening silence.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: What blows my mind, and I want to, because what
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: you just said reminded me of my grandfather. My grandfather
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: came over with his brothers in 1928 from Bari, Italy.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: And when they got here, they showed that they had
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: a skill. They were brick masons. They knew how to
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: build buildings really, really well. In fact, they built a
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: big part of a certain part of Long Island. They
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: built churches. They built post offices. They built grocery stores.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: They built houses. The houses they built are still the
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: strongest houses on the block on Waldo Street in Copaig,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: New York. But they had to prove that they were
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: bringing something. I will better the United States by you
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: allowing my presence to be here. Why can't we do
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: that today? What you're saying should be simple. Go clean
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: up the park. Go paint a public building. Go and
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: make sure the kids are safe playing on the playground.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Whatever it is, you've got to do something. I mean,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: it used to be a long time, even before my grandfather,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: you came over, joined the military, and if you didn't die,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: you got to stay. But why aren't we doing that now?
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Now there is half the country about that says not
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: only should they stay, We shouldn't force them to learn English.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: We shouldn't force them to understand our value system. We
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: shouldn't tell them Sharia law doesn't comply with the Constitution.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: And if you do, you're a racist or a bigot.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: How did that change? Because you and I are right.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Well, let me think.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: My parents' grandparents came over from Naples and Sicily at
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: the turn of the 1900s.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: They had to have a sponsor, a place to stay,
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: and they had to have some money and the potential
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: of a job. And they had a physical exam when
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: they came in at Ellis Island. Now, New York built
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: our Italian, Jewish, Irish, German immigrant families built New York City.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: At that time, there were only 100 Muslims in the country.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: In New York. 100. That's it.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Wow. They built New York. Now, when Dami didn't put
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Little Italy on the map, I.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Went bananas on it.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Couldn't believe it. I went crazy. I did a rant
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: on that. It was a little too much.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: We're passionate people, Robert. We're passionate.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: But that just got me so upset because here we
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: go again. And the people, we let it, we let
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: our politicians, how did it happen, Joe? It happens because
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: you have this. There's another article. My son, who's now 25,
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: was a Boy Scout. Now, you know when you go
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: to the veterans, you pass a veteran's cemetery on Memorial Day?
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Or Fourth of July or a big holiday. There's flags
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: in the cemetery. All the graves have flags. Ever see that?
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: Now, I never knew that the Boy Scouts did that. Now,
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: I took my son, and every Boy Scout had a flag.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: a section, and the whole cemetery, veteran cemetery in Westwood, California,
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: when I lived there, they had to put the flag
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: in the cemetery and they said a prayer and mentioned
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: the military guy's name. Right.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: That's the respect that they taught.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Beautiful.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Now, right? Now what happens is, Now, this is going
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: to drive you crazy, I think. But anyway, my.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: Grandfather enlisted in World War I, was critically wounded in
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: theater three times, came back. My father, World War II,
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: the day after Pearl Harbor, he enlisted. He enlisted in
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: Pearl Harbor in the Navy. His ship was torpedoed. He
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: was in the water for three days.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: He got out.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: My father never talked about his experiences, nor did my grandfather.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: And my father... We had it on Long Island, Dix Hills.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: We had a flagpole. And every Memorial Day, Veterans Day,
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: my father would put on his Navy uniform and raise
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: the American flag or half-mast it when it needed to be.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: That's what I grew up with. The house I live in.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: And today, these kids don't have that imagery. They don't
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: have that understanding. They have an understanding of this left-minded, open-minded,
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Society that wants every single thing to be okay. And,
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: you know, America has lost its will, even among the politicians.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Well, I couldn't agree with you more. I want people
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: to understand who I'm talking to. Those who are listening
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: to the podcast, those who see us obviously know who
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: you are. It's Robert Davi. Go and check out the Reagan,
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: the director's cut. It's coming out September 25th. He's also
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: got a great new album out that I want you
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: to go and check out. The album is called I'm
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Not Anyone. Robert Dobby's new album, Keep an America Great
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: songbook alive. I just love how you sing. You're clearly
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: a baritone. I'm a bass. I love singing as well.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: I can't get as high as you can get probably,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: but the way you sing is beautiful. I want to
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: make mention of something you just said. When Reagan came in,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Carter ruined nationalism in this country. People hated the country.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: The malaise was there. The misery index was through the roof.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: The interest rate, the inflation, the unemployment. It was crazy.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: He was like the godfather of that. And he made
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: it worse than we've ever seen in history. Reagan comes
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: in and says, screw you. We love America. Wave the flag.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: And everybody agreed. Up until like 9-11, we all agreed,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: which blows my mind. We're almost 25 years from that.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: And I wonder what your thoughts are on this. On 9-12...
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: It didn't matter if you were left, right, center. It
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: didn't matter who you were, what your ethnicity was, your ancestry,
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: your race, your gender. None of that mattered. Your sexual orientation.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: We were all Americans. We were galvanized. Californians were New Yorkers.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: Texans were New Yorkers. Everybody was a New Yorker. Everybody
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: was there because what just happened isn't okay. They attacked
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: us all. 25 years later, you got people on TikTok saying,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: when I see the American flag, I want to barf.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: There are people who are Americans saying it makes me
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: think of white supremacy when I see the American flag.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: I have no idea who the PR person was on
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: the Hate America campaign, but it was very, very successful.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Not for you, not for my kids, not for me,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: not for your kids, not for my grandkids now. But
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: there are two new generations that we have a chance
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: to save right now. How do we get back to
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: how we felt when Reagan won? How do we get
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: back to how we felt when Trump won the first time?
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: I think we felt pretty good. as a country, but
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: the splinter got even worse. How do we correct this
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: course that we're so far off on?
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: Well, let me bring up something you just brought up
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: because I have eight kids. My daughter, who's 25, because
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: it's twin, boy, girl, twin. My daughter comes home from
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: school 10 years ago.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: So she was what? Well, no, more than 10.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: She was probably in sixth, seventh, eighth grade, ninth grade, eighth, sixth,
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: seventh grade.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: She says to me, Dad, I'm ashamed of being white. Okay?
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: This is what she says to me. California school.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Now, cut to 9-11 time. About a year later.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Dad, 9-11, they showed us a video in school today
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: that 9-11 never happened.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: It was really a thing. It was this, it was that,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: it was everything else.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: And you're paying for that school.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is my daughter. Now, my daughter, they
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: had me, my kids. So my kids are understanding. Right.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? I was able to.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: But this is it's the educational system that is corrupt.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's corrupt. Excuse me for getting angry.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: It's corrupt. And they start at an early age. And
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: look at those teachers that are teaching. Most of the
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: teachers and I had friends of mine that were teachers
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: that they told me what was going on there. They
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: were told me that we're going on in the schools
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: where the union is. The money that the union gets
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: is so overpowering for their elections, it's crazy. That the
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: teachers get so much. Let's say in California, I forget.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: I remember when the guy told me this. I think
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: the budget was $ 9 billion. Well, $ 6 billion went to
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: administration and other bullshit. And only a certain amount went
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: to the teachers and the kids. But, you know, there's
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: something rotten there. in the educational system across this country,
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: just like, look, if there was a Doge and they uncovered,
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: I believe it's true. Is it true what Elon Musk
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: uncovered with the corruption in Doge?
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: If they did that to our educational system, if they
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: did that state by state, this country would fry. And
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: any understanding individual, but most people are ignorant. Even the
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: smart ones are ignorant or they want to be inclusive.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: It's a strange look at Michael Savage.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Great guy.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: Right. Another great guy wrote a book called Liberalism is
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: a mental disorder.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: And, you know, when they were trying to tell us
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: how many genders there are, 15, 20 genders, and take
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: it away from the biblical tradition, you know there's a
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: concerted effort, especially where I said to you, They attacked
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: society from Hollywood, from culture. It's something that the Republicans
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: are dumb about, Joe. There are dummies in there because
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: they don't understand that they have.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: To embrace culture big time.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: They started recently in the last several years with Angle
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Studios and other aspects to it when they got shut out.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: But they have been deadbeat, where meanwhile, since the beginning,
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: the left has infiltrated films In the 50s and 40s scripts,
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: there were communists in the studios, Joe, that were okaying
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: certain scripts, making sure that the other ones didn't get shown,
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: and then putting in propaganda in the scripts that did.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: That was a fact. That's what happened. It still happens.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: But we're too dumb. We're too stupid. We're too.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, we are. Well, Robert, let me actually amplify how
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: dumb the Republicans are. John Thune is the leader of
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: the Senate right now. John Thune from South Dakota seems
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: like a nice guy. He looks okay, whatever. He won't
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: do the Save America Act. Do you know it only
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: takes half of the majority to get rid of him?
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: So 27 senators have to say John Thune isn't getting
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: the job done. And by the way, he's not. He
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: won't kill the filibuster. He won't do the Save America Act.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: He won't do anything that we want or the president wants.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: 27 senators is all it takes. As they're out there
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: hocking their books and as they're out there running for re-election,
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: why aren't they getting together and saying, here are 27
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: of us. John, you're out. Let's put in fill-in-the-blank guy.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Could be Mike Lee from Utah. Could be Rick Scott
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: from Florida. Could be Ted Cruz from here in Texas.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Why won't they do that? Because it's all one freaking party. Robert,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: that's what it is.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: George Carlin said it a long time ago. It's one
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: big club and you ain't in it. That's what George
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: Carlin said. And that's what they do. They go there
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: in D.C., And they backslap and they do this and
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: they do that. It's very rarely. And then the ones
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: that do speak out get totally demonized and ostracized and
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: put aside.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: So the rest are afraid to do the same thing
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: because they're figuring, you know, look, I love Frank Capra films, man.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: People should watch. I've said.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: Capra should be a he should be required watching in schools.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Meet John Doe. Mr. Smith goes to Washington.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Incredible. State of the Union with Spencer Tracy.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: Right. Even though there were some lefty ideas that because
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Spencer Tracy was a lefty, they put in that film.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: But it's a great indictment on and really explores the
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: political system and shows the everyman deeply. And this is
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: in the 40s, those films. And so it's a it's a.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: They're weak, they're corrupt, and it's a club that we're
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: not in. And they don't care about us because why
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: isn't somebody saying, hey, Thune, who's his backer?
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Why is Thune like giving a pass? I have no idea.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Why wouldn't he save America Act?
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: That's easy.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Why wouldn't he do that? It's easy.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: It just means you have to show who you are
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: when you vote. You have to just prove that you
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: are a citizen before you register. It is so easy
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: that my 10-year-old is like, hey, Dad, why aren't they
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: doing the Save America Act? They're not doing it because,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: as you said, as Carlin said, it's a big club
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: and we're not in it. And they keep acting like
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: they're on opposing sides, and they're not. I mean, think
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: about this. You mentioned Mitch McConnell before. I have no
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: idea if the guy's alive. We're not allowed to know
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: if he's even okay. And he's the former Senate Majority Leader.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: The people of Kentucky don't have a vote right now.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: They claim I've had a 20 minute conversation with him.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: You couldn't press FaceTime to prove that he's even with us. So,
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, it is a game. And I think President
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Trump is probably getting frustrated by this game because he
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: can't just tell them do it and they do it.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: He says it every day. Get rid of the filibuster,
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: so on and so forth. Let me finish on education here. Rob,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: you got to promise you'll come back again. We could
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: do like five hours, to be honest. And I appreciate
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: you giving me so much time.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: No, please go ahead. One thing I wanted to bring up,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: but go ahead.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: I wanted to say this about the Department of Education.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: It's $ 50, $ 60, $ 70 billion a year. It is a centralized,
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: government-run educational system that is not in the Constitution. It
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: should not exist. There should be no Department of Education.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: You and your local community, me and my local community,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: we should be setting what the agenda is in schools
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: that we pay for. We're not. We're told, remember when
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Obama was in, they were singing Barack Hussein Obama. They
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: were sending out things from the Department of Education from
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: Arne Duncan, who was his secretary. And it said, what
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: can I do for my president today?
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: Screw you.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: I don't have a dictator. I'm not going to do
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: anything for my president today. So we have to either
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: get rid of it or realize we're doomed. And now
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: President Trump has said, get rid of it. The DOE
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: started when? Under Jimmy Carter. It's not that freaking old.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Just get rid of it now and give the money
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: back to the states. Go ahead.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, going along with that, you know, they say
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: all politics is local. Well, let's start with HOAs. I
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: never had an HOA community, but they're corrupt. They're corrupt,
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: just like our officers. And if you look at the HOA,
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: what they're doing there, and then you go into the
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: commissioners of your community, and then you go into the
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: statewide government, and then the nationwide government.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: It's all corrupt. Human beings are corrupt.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: Human beings don't really, they care about their own individual
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: interests instead of the overall welling of the total community,
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: not just small pockets of a community, but the total community.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: So what happens in Washington, D.C., like even here, In
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: the Senate of Tallahassee, the Congress passed the HOA bill
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: whereby homeowners can have a government oversight of their HOA.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: They passed it unanimously, but it's being held up in
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: the Senate. Why?
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: That's Republican run, by the way. It's Republican run. Why
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: would they hold it in the Senate?
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: And I can't even get a hold of DeSantis about it. DeSantis,
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: you know, his office had called us and they're ineffectual.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: But they did the bill. This guy did the bill.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: But there's nobody passing it in the Senate. And you
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: talk to them, the same look I got from McConnell.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: And it's going to blow up because over 70 million
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: people have HOAs.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Right. 70 million.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: And there's no oversight. Right. They could do what they want,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: and they do. They're corruptors.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Robert, I've got to be honest. When Mitch McConnell didn't
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: say anything, he might have been asleep. I'll be honest
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: with you. It's Robert Davi. Go and check him out.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Any movie he does, any album he puts out, go
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: see the director's cut of Reagan. At least 10 minutes,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: maybe more, extra content you did not see the first time.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Go get his album called I'm Not Anyone. When you
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: and I get together in person, Robert, do me a favor.
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: We have to sing together in person sometime. I would
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: love to do that.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: I know. It would be great, you know.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: Um, I, I have a, I have a season four
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: of Tulsa King coming out with Stallone.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Beautiful. And I, and I just did a film with
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: John Travolta, a musical.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: It's a, it's a musical film. No, no, no. I did.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: I did Tulsa King alone, but I did a musical film. Yes.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Which revolted called that's a morning.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: How amazing is that? I can't wait to see that.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: What's the, just give me the premise. What is that?
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: The premise is I'm Danny Amore. I own a nightclub.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: I'm a singer.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: And had a big shot. And I gave up my
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: career for my family. And John has a family and
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: a pizzeria. And he falls in love with my daughter,
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: played by Mary Savino. And Green Book, the writer of
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Green Book, wrote this thing. He won two Academy Awards
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: for that. So I'm hoping it's a terrific film. The
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: script was great. We had a great time singing.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: And I sing.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: one song and John sings and dances for the first
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: time in many years.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: But, but it's going to be a, I think it's
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: gonna be a great, great film.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: And, and Joe, it's really an homage to the Italian
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: American and the, and the romance of that era when
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: you had films that were, you know, musical and full
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: of heart, family.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: And soul.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: I love it. I can't wait. When is that coming out?
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Do you know?
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: No, they're editing now.
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: There should be finished editing soon. And then, Hopefully we'll
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: know when their release dates are. They do this stuff.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: And Tulsa King starts the end of September, October, 9-1-1 plus. Beautiful.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Robert, I can't tell you how much I love having
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: you on. It's an honor to talk to you. We
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: got to hang out in person at some point in
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: our lives. And just keep on kicking ass, kicking ass
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: and taking names. Every movie, every show, every series with
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: Tulsa King. Can't wait to see the new one, That's Amore.
