Folks, welcome to the Eric Mataxis show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metaxus show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metaxes. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit legacy p.m.investments.com. That's legacy p.m. Investments.com. The Texas show with your host, Eric Mettaxas. Hey there, folks. Welcome to the week. I call it the week, because today's Monday, and it's the first day of the week.

Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome. All right. Now there's a ton of things to cover. A lot of things. And I'm going to try to get to everything. I'm going to talk fast. Number one, our guest, coming up in a few minutes, Robert Davy, one of the Bond villains. You've seen him in all kinds of films. He's been acting since the 1970s. He was an episode, I think, of Charlie's Angels.

He's worked with Sinatra. You'll hear all about it. And he's directed a film called My Son Hunter about Hunter Biden. That's coming up in a minute. Great interview. I already pre-taped it. It is amazing. Stay tuned for that.

In hour two, we're talking to our friend, Jeff Myers, with Summit Ministries, another huge one, okay? But we've got so much to mention here. First of all, first of all, this is important, folks. The other day we did an interview, I don't know if it was last Thursday or Friday, when I talked about the folks at Lure TV have created a four-minute video called The Procedure. It's about somebody who was not any kind of a technician. I don't know what they were. They were working in some hospital.

And they were kind of like bullied into, hey, hey, some doctor said, I need you in here or whatever. To oversee, to help with the ultrasound machine while this guy's performing a second trimester abortion. The video is four minutes long. It's an animation. It was made with DreamWorks and Disney animators who, didn't use their names. But it's four minutes long, and it is my belief that it could change the country. Yeah, I just said that, that this video called the procedure could change the country because like William Wilberforce, whose job it was to educate the British population on the

nightmare, the evil, the satanic evil of the slave trade. Once people knew what was happening, they were so sickened by it. They said, we didn't know. We didn't know. We're against it. Until they knew what was happening, they could just blithely move on with their lives and say it's not a major issue. Once they knew, it changed everything.

This video called The Procedure, which I have posted on my Facebook page, I've posted it on Twitter, I'll post it all over my social media. I sent out an email today if you are subscribed to my newsletter at ericmetaxis.com. you will get the video. It is my heartfelt plea to you that you will share this video. You can just forward the email, obviously, if that's easy, or just forward it to anybody you know or share the video with especially anyone you know who doesn't share my view on the abortion thing.

Because I want to say to people, I know there are good people on both sides of this issue. They just don't know what's involved. Then we want to give them the benefit of the doubt and say, listen, folks, we know you didn't know, and it's very politically charged. Watch this four-minute video and tell me what you think. If you want to see the interview, it's last Friday and hour one, so you can go to the website metaxis talk.com to the Friday show. It's posted there in the podcast section. Okay. Yeah.

So last Friday in hour one, I spoke to the people behind making this video. And I believe you can go to choice4.2.com as well. C-H. Choice. Choice and then the number four, the number two. Because you're making a choice for two. Yes. Choice4.2.com. But I just want to sincerely ask you to watch the video and to share the video as widely as you can.

I believe this could change the country, folks, because when you realize that you're voting for somebody who's for this, this is only second trimester. Yeah. This is not the third trimester. It's only the second trimester. But when you understand that your vote is enabling this to happen, and when you see what it is that's happening, it tears at your heart because you say, well, I didn't know. Maybe I didn't want to know. And I get that. Believe me, I get that, folks.

So it's called the procedure, and it is all over my social media, and I'm asking you sincerely to share it and tell people, before you vote next Tuesday, make sure you watch this video know what you're voting for, know what it is that you're voting for. So we'll talk more about that in the future. Okay, Albin, we've got a lot more to talk about. We've got to mention, by the way, we talk about voting. Pennsylvania, okay? Everybody knows that Federman is not, you know,

not only is ideologically loony, but he's not fit for the Senate. I think that showed pretty obviously in the debate, and I think that Dr. Oz will win the Senate seat by God's grace. But even more importantly, to me, Doug Maastriano, he's a friend of ours. He's been on this program many times.

This guy is a conservative Christian-American patriot. He served his country for over three decades. The guy is on every level a big deal. But if you want to know how bad things are in the country, the Republican establishment, think of this, folks, think of how wicked this is, the Republican establishment, Karl Rove, other people that we once maybe thought were on our team, they are working against him. and for the Democratic opponent for the governorship of Pennsylvania,

for Josh Shapiro, who of course is 100% for late-term abortion. That's just the beginning of the horrors with Josh Shapiro. So I want to get the word out about Doug Mostriano. He is, I'm telling you, he's an American hero. He was looking into the election fraud and the rhinos and the Republican establishment in the state of Pennsylvania refused to work with him to get to the bottom of what happened. So I want to say it again, he's a hero. He's running for governor in Pennsylvania.

If you know anybody in Pennsylvania, you need to let them know they have got to vote for Doug Mastriano. The idea that he could be governor, it is a huge deal. It would be a game changer for the nation in the same way that Kerry Lake in Arizona, Ron DeSantis, game changing for the nation. But right now he's way behind, and the Republican establishment is working against them. Again, if you want to know how despicable they are, and if you want to know where they stand, this tells you everything you need to know. I want to say that I was in Pennsylvania.

I spoke in Harrisburg, which is the capital of Pennsylvania. This was last week. And while I was there, I had a little surprise. I spent time with Doug Maastriano. Yeah. I got a call from our friend Sean Foyt. We were on the way to Harrisburg, Suzanne and I were driving, and Sean says, hey, I was at the state capital,

and guess who walked out while I was there? Doug Maastriano. So he said, Doug Maastriano is going to come to our event tonight. That was last Wednesday in Harrisburg. So I spoke. We'll post that. I think I've already posted that on my social media. And at the end of my talk, I introduced Doug Maastriano,

who came up on the stage. After this, okay, I signed a ton of books. It was like an amazing thing. And then Doug Maastriano and his wife, Rebecca, gave Sean Foyt and Suzanne and me and a couple of others a private tour of the Pennsylvania state capital in Harrisburg. Wow. It is known around the country as the most beautiful of all state capitals.

And I'll tell you, it was breathtaking. I was totally astonished. I took some pictures. They don't do it justice. It was astonishing. But to get a tour from the man who knows the history, and the history is profoundly Christian. It's undeniably Christian.

When you look at William Penn and so many others that are represented there, and Doug Maastriano knows that history, and he and his wife were giving us the tour. I think they have Bible verses up on the wall. Oh, tons of Bible verses. That's just for beginners. But it was unbelievable. And the mural of William Penn,

William Penn looks a lot like Sean Foyt. It was very creepy. Okay, now, I want to say there's more to share. We're going to have our interview with Doug. I'm sorry, with Robert Davy. When we come back at the beginning of our two, I want to share lots more with you that I haven't had the time to share. Now, we want to cover the Nancy Pelosi break-in thing, which is very weird. And the mainstream media, obviously, if ever you needed to see how they spin stuff to be anti-American, anti-Maga, it's really.

really weird. Okay, so lots more to talk about. We're excited. We'll see you in a moment. In case you haven't been paying attention, the Biden administration has caused a financial crisis and they have no clue how to fix it. Oil prices have skyrocketed. And when oil prices go up, the cost of transportation and shipping spikes, leading the prices of goods to rise. And when we're already seeing record inflation, that's the last thing we need. Our economy is in trouble and you need to take steps to protect yourself. If all your money is tied up in stocks, bonds, and traditional markets, you are vulnerable.

As promised, how do I put it? I said I want to get somebody on who's a James Bond villain. We could talk about that. But no, we're not going to talk about that.

What are we going to talk about? We're going to talk about a different kind of villainy. We're going to talk about the Biden crime family. We're going to talk about the film, My Son, Hunter. We have the director, Robert Davy. Robert, welcome to this program. Well, thank you for having me, Eric, especially since we were probably born in the same hospital. Let me tell you something.

This is unbelievable. when I looked you up, I mean, I know of you, but I did not know that we were both born in Astoria, Queens. That's unbelievable. Now, John Zmirak, who I have on this program every week, he was born in the same hospital, Astoria General Hospital as I was, about a year after me. Astoria General Hospital, but I'm a little older than you, but a day, our birthdays, I'm the 26th, and you're the 27th of June. Isn't that interesting?

That's, we are, we are like, we're brothers. Yeah. You're my gumba because I, of course, Greeks are legally obliged to be born in Astoria. It's just a thing, the government. As Italians were back in the day. And plenty Italians, too. I spent a lot of time in Astoria. My cousins lived there for quite a while.

But let me ask you something, not before we get into the thing. Can you speak any Greek? Oh, of course. All right. Lenzelio, di Bota, my favana can enenen, and my leftovers. obviously you cannot speak creak then I'm just making fun because it's the Italian accent I don't want anything I don't want nothing

I don't fear anyone I am illifero's I am free I'm eleftheros where's that from I love that the tombstone of Nikos Kazanzakis Den to Pistevok devil. Gatsanzakis, yeah, Katzenzakis is a character, right? Because he did, he wrote the book,

The Last Temptation of Christ, which is a heretical mess, but it's interesting. If you're, you know, if you're kind of curious about God and you're not interested. But he also wrote the spiritual exercises of Nikos Kazanzakis. Oh, no, he, look, Katzenzakis is one of the great Greek heroes. Listen, this is what's so funny. And this, I want to start here. We're talking about the film, my son Hunter. We've talked about it with Lawrence Fox. We'll talk about it more. Maybe we'll get Gino Carrano on here. But the point is you directed it. Yeah. But I want to start before we get into this exciting film. And it is very exciting. I really want to talk about the film. But I want to say you, it's funny because when I looked you up, and this is always the case, almost always the case,

with Hollywood people, you think of them a certain way, right? You're some guy. You're a bad guy in a James Bond film. You were in diehard. Goonies. Goonies is a cult classic. Goonies, okay. Show girls, expendables, I mean, you were not going to mention showgirls on this program, okay? Aren't you ashamed? Come on. Well, I got paid very well, and it still pays.

Well, you, this is what I'm saying is that you have been working in Hollywood. I remember as a kid watching Merv Griffin, people would say, I'm just trying to get, it's all about the work, Gray, I'm just trying to get work. You have been working in the business since the 70s. You were in episodes of Charlie's Angels. I mean, this cracks me up.

What have you not been in? St. Helpsware. I did that. I did St. Elsewhere. Health Street Blues. I mean, Barnaby, all those shows. But I did my first film. You worked with Buddy Epson.

Excuse me. You worked with Buddy Ebson. Is there anything else we need to talk about? I know, right? You worked with Buddy Ebson. Well, I also did my first film with Frank Sinatra in 1977. I was going to say you have worked with Sinatra. Somehow you work with Brando.

Yeah. What? Christopher Columbus, the discovery who they want to cancel today. And I was in Spain researching with the Spanish experts, and they're all getting it wrong. And they're manipulating the truth about Christopher Columbus. And it's unfortunate that we have a generation indoctrinated into this woke society of being re-look, how to be recreating the history. Columbus never had a slave.

It goes on and on and on, but it's so many. Speaking of Colombo, did you ever work with Peter Falk? No, but he was a friend. Are you kidding? I knew Peter, yeah, very well. All right. Telly Savalas, I worked with. You were, wait, what?

Yeah, we did, Tully Savalas, come on, the Greek. We did Alcatraz, the whole shocking story together. Honestly, this is no joke in New York, because I know you're in Florida, but up here in New York, we have this thing called Me TV, and they play old shows, which half of them I never really watched. As a Greek, you know, we had a shrine in our home to Kojak. You know, we all knew. But did I watch the show?

No. Now I watch it. And I think this was actually a good show. Oh, yeah. Unlike, forgive me, Charlie's Angels, which was, you know, garbage, ABC. But the point is that you have, no, Tully Savalas. I mean, he was a great guy. I was hysterical.

I, well, that's what, that's what they say. So my point is you have been working and working and working. You started out, we mentioned Astoria, but Stella Adler, I mean, that's, I mean, we know Marlon Brando and a few others work with Stella Adler, but how did you find your way into that? This is, you know, elite acting company. Yeah, when I was five, we moved to Long Island. And then, uh, it was in Dix Hills, Half Hollow Hills. went to the school system there,

then went to a Catholic school, St. Sirle Methodius, and I went to a Catholic high school called Seton Hall High School. And I was always very artistic, even in fourth grade at Half Hollow Hills Elementary School, the teacher, Ms. Alexander, they always picked me to read out loud or play, and I remember them walking my parents to the car saying he should be encouraged for the arts.

He's artistic. At the same time, I was very athletic. Wee Buchan came to watch me play at Seton Hall. We were 28 no the years I played. And I could have gone that route. And then I got ill. And I got a cure from Padre Pio. That's another story.

Hold on. Oh, yeah. First of all, you said you got ill. You're in high school and you got sick. What happened? Junior year, the end of junior year football, and I was playing varsity since a freshman. They don't know what it was,

but I was like from 230 pounds solid to like 140. in a hospital bed, them not knowing what I had. The closest thing they thought was some autoimmune thing, and it was just downhill. But a friend of the families, my mother was the head of confaturnity for Long Island. And my dad was a sacristan, St. Matthew's Church in Dick's Hills.

And their friend, a guy named Joey Lamon, was a blind guy that used to give lectures on Padra Pio and the Lady of Fatima and Rosaries. And we'd go to those, and I remember that. And I was in the hospital bed, and he would give lectures about Padre Pio. And he knew Padre Pio.

He went to San Giovanni Rotonda in Foggi, Italy, went to confession with Padre Pio. So it was a direct line to Padre Pio. And so I said to my mom, I said, do you think Joey can ask Padre Pio to pray for me? Which they did. And I got a telegram, pray blessings.

I'm no doctor because they didn't know what it was. They sent me a pair of rosary beads, blessed by him. And then a week later, my mom dreamt of the mass. I dreamt of, I had the sense of something in the room. And the doctor said to my mother, Dr. Eugene Taish, on a Saturday morning, he said, Mary, if you told me your son was in this shape a week ago, I'd say only a miracle. So I attribute that.

And I feel that my path was made to go into the arts and not into sports. That was the turning point. I got a scholarship to Hofster University at the Drama Department, which they had the Yale rep and they had crossover teachers, a very good school, Hofstra Unit. They had a Shakespeare festival. And then I went into Manhattan and I studied with Stella for three years, got into the actor's studio and did tons of plays.

People think of me as the thug, you know, or the bad guy, like you said. But I did a couple of thousand performances on stage of Shakespeare and Chekhov and Ibsen and Jean-Hen-Hen-Hen-W. So it was, you know, you get underestimated quite often. in life anyone does until you open up the thing. And I then did the first film with Sinatra, and I did an album. I don't know if you know I sing.

I didn't know if I sing. Please continue. Do you sing? Yes. No, but we. I just, yes, I do. But you, it's just so fascinating to me because the eclectic nature of your career and the depth,

but most people would just know you as, you know, you're the bad guy, you're the thug in that film or in that film. So it's, it's, it's extraordinary how actors get work. You know, you could be doing Chekhov and Shakespeare, but to pay the bills, you know, you do Barnaby Jones and St. Elsewhere, whatever it is. But that's in the beginning, yeah. And then, of course, I did a TV series called Profile Up for four years that was before criminal minds that was groundbreaking and tons of other films, 170 films.

170 films. Good, bad, and indifferent. And that's not counting the television stuff. Well, when we come back, I want to talk to you about the film. that you directed. Have you directed a film before? I directed a movie called The Dukes, and that's what Magda Sagata

from Unreported Story Society had seen. It won nine awards. It was in festivals with Coppola and Sean Penn and Robert Redford and Tom Cruise. Little film I made for a little budget. Me, Chaz Pomerantieri, Peter Bogdanovich, Marianne, a very sweet film about a dukewhip.

So that was my first for a directing. love Peter Bogdanovich. When we come back, we're going to talk about the new film. It is called My Son Hunter, talking to Robert Davy. Don't go away. Why would you? You've heard and seen the raw uncut truth about the brave men and women, patriots that were wrongfully arrested on January 6th by the tyrannical Biden regime and corrupt E.O.J.

But with your support, Jake Lang and all the January 6ers can find justice. Here is his message. Hello, my name is Jake Lang. I'm a January 6th political prisoner who has been held in solitary confinement for over 21 months by the Biden tyrannical regime. I'm not going to lie to you. The need is great. The corrupt DOJ and wicked FBI have doubled down on hundreds of innocent J6 patriots and pushed for harsh prison sentences of up to 10 years. We are putting together a legal fund that can help out the January 6thers and we need your support.

please go to j6 legal.org right now and give from your heart whatever God tells you to. We need your support. The need is great. The time to donate is now. Thank you. And God bless you. Folks, I'm talking to my new best friend Robert Dobby. He might not know it. But we are, we're talking about your career, an amazing career, frankly. But culminating at this point in your directing a film, a brave film, an amazing. an important film called My Son Hunter about Hunter Biden and the relationship with his messed up old man. I believe his name is Joe Biden. It's an amazing thing that the film got made. I've become friends with Anne and Phelham who were behind this geniuses. How did you hear about

this film or, you know, how did it come to you, the idea that you might be able to direct this film with Lawrence Fox, tremendous? Well, the agent, my agent called me up and said, hey, they're making an offer if they'd like you to direct the film. What is it? My son Hunter. And that piqued my interest. I says, okay, because of most of the country, we were frustrated at the story being not told, because at the time, the New York Times did admit to the story and we didn't know what we know now. So this was back in May, I think, a year ago. And I read the script. I thought the structure was good. I saw that I could do things with the piece that I wanted to do, and I then accepted the job, and were they open to my changes and open to my ideas? Because I wanted to make

something that was not just a bunch of red meat being thrown out. I didn't want to demonize the drug addiction because family members and mine, family members have had addiction problems. The country has addiction problems. So I didn't want to demonize that aspect to it. It was also a father and son's story. And I like the idea that it was told through the eyes of a 25-year-old left-wing activist who was a exotic dancer to pay for her college education. So that gave it a universal appeal because how do we tell the story? How do we affect people? How do we, those that aren't listening in the echo chamber, how do you open up their minds and hearts to accept something that they've been told doesn't exist or that refuses, the media of refuses? And then also the indictments.

on the media for being quiet about the story. So all these elements went into play, and then I worked on the script with Brian Godzewa, who wrote the original screenplay, and then went to Serbia. And so that was the impetus. And also the frustration, Eric, of seeing Russian collusion for three years on Donald Trump,

that we were fed this, you know, Adam Schiff and all the things. And every other day there was another, attack on this guy, the real insurrection in America. The real insurrection that was done by politicians trying to, anyway. So all of that then made me want to say, okay, I'm going to, I want to direct this. I want to tell this story. There's something going on in America.

It's taken us a long time for people with conservative, traditional values, people who care about truth, beginning to get involved. in the media to make films that are not just our version of propaganda, because the left is doing that all day long, but that's real art. And when I interviewed Lawrence Fox, who stars as the eponymous, I want to use that word, Hunter, it's my son, Hunter. Isn't that a Greek word, eponymous? Eponymous? Well, all words are Greek, ultimately, including the word, word. No, that's not true. The word word is probably anglo-saxon. But the fact is that to tell a story truly so that it doesn't become just, you know,

conservatives will go see it because it's kind of, you know, it's our film or Christians will go see it because it's a Christian. But no, this is art. You are telling the story from the inside. It's multidimensional. And this is the key to winning over those in the middle because there's so many in the middle that they will not go see a real. red meat conservative film that's airing here or here or here. They won't even hear about it. This is a film that I think everybody could see.

And so I want to thank you for bringing your, you know, careers worth of experience to bear on the script and on shaping this and on directing it because it's important that we step up our game in telling the stories. Absolutely. And I'm proud to say that I have friends of mine that, you know, like Bernie Sanders supporters. say. Yeah. And they saw the film and they texted me the impress, their impressions of it, which were highly positive and complimentary, not what they expected. And it was so interesting to see that,

and that's exactly my frustration with the conservative filmmaking and conservatives when they deal with culture sometimes. It's not, it's not taking an overall, it's, it's, it's, overpressing a cliche. Yeah, well, they, I mean, cliche is the word. If you really want to win people over, you have to appeal to our common humanity. And I have to say that when the Hunter Biden stuff initially was coming out, you know, as a Christian,

my heart went out to him. This doesn't exonerate him. This doesn't. But the point is you realize these are human beings. I mean, I've met Joe Biden. I had breakfast with Joe Biden in 2012. You know, this is one of these things where you realize these are human beings with souls. God loves them and wants to reach them.

This doesn't mean that we don't deal with them as public figures. Obviously, that's the whole reason you tell a film like this, because these are not just our neighbors. These are people affecting the world in which we live as dramatically as it can be affected through their stupidity, their ignorance, their malfeasance, but they're human beings. And when you talk about the son of a career politician, 50 years in that world of corruption in that swamp, it's so ugly. But if you have a heart, to some extent, your heart breaks at the same time that you want justice.

So when we come back, we're talking to the director of My Son Hunter. Go to My Son Hunter.com. My Son Hunter.com starring Lawrence Fox. Gina Carana. We'll be right back. With the overturn of Roe v.

Folks, welcome back talking to Robert Davy, the director of the new festival. of the new film My Son Hunter. So excited that this film got made. Robert, it's an amazing thing to me that this film, the film you're describing, My Son Hunter, that it got made. Because we live in a world where most of us know that, you know, Hollywood is controlled by, you know, you mentioned half a dozen of the names,

just super left-wing ideologues, who they can't even begin to think long. the lines of where we are, where middle America is, and pretty much they've had a monopoly, you know, and there's nothing, there's nothing else. Suddenly, things like this are possible. My son Hunter is out. Before we continue, how do people find my son Hunter? Well, first of, I just want to give kudos to the unreported Story Society who crowdfunded this with 30,000 people. So the people out there wanted this story to be told, the we the people. and if we continue to do that,

and I encourage conservatives to invest in culture, to, you know, we've got to do that. They can go to MySunhunter.com. Breibart distributed it. Mysonhunter.com. The DVD is now available, as well as you can download it, stream it, and own it. And I think it's an entertaining film.

I told them I wanted to do something like the Wolf of Wall Street or American Hustle, the David O' Russell film, about the abscam FBI sting, that style of peace. You know, constrained with our budget, of course, and with the story. But, and I think we've accomplished something very,

very, you know, very special in terms of that. I think the Wolf of Wall Street was disgusting, like a lot of Spielberg stuff, like he always goes too far. Well, that was Scorsese. And I'm sorry, what did I say? Spielberg. Spielberg. I think you know that I meant Scorsese.

Yes. Hey, go get you shine box. But seriously, some of these films go too far, but the style of filmmaking, it is brilliant. Obviously, Scorsese is brilliant. He's been going too far since, you know, whatever, since casino as far as I'm concerned. But the point is that the genius, the ability to tell a story in a somewhat oblique way, whose decision was it to tell the story from the point of view of this, the stripper? I can't remember you just mentioned a moment ago.

Yeah, that was in the screenplay. That's one of the things that I love that Brian Gadsworth had. It was told through her eyes and on their meeting and the discovery of them. Is this the one that Hunter had a child with? No, you could, no, because it's a composite of different girls because he's been with so many. So this is just a night, the night that the laptop is discovered. And she doesn't know who he is initially. He gets kicked out of a strip joint because the Secret Service come because the father wants to talk to him.

And then he rushes off to the Chateau. The Chateau Marmau, and I have him in another place. I mean, it was, I read Hunter's biography, autobiography, beautiful things. And I got a lot of information from that. It's quite confessional, but powdered confessional in some ways. But we still explore. And then we get into the corruption. John James plays Joe Biden terrifically.

terrific actor John James and I didn't want to play the again of course the script when it first happened and it was so much stuff in it great but it was too heavy-handed for me and I had to pull back on all of that stuff especially with Joe and because I said here's a guy that's been in politics

as you say 50 years 45 years there's got to be something about him that's engaging and I wanted to not make a repulsive character not like a Saturday night live skit or some other skits that they do with Biden. But something that, and something that I had said, that Peter Bogdanovich said to me, because I called Peter Bogdanovich at one point before we did this,

because I wanted him to play Joe Biden, actually. And he said, I can't play him. He's more of a Howard Hawks kind of character, Robert. And this is interesting. He sees him as a Howard Hawks character. And that's a strength. you know, the Howard Hawks has a certain kind of Elon, you know, there's a guy that did, you know,

what is it, that Bogart and Bacall where they met, you know? I always, I should know that one. No, was it Key Largo? No, not Key Largo. To have and have not. Yes, to have and have not. That's where they met, and that's Howard Hawks, yes. Yes, yes. I'm very proud of myself for coming up with that on Jeff. Very good. Listen, when you talk about Peter Bogdanovich, unbelievable, Paper Moon, one of the greatest films

I have ever seen in my life. I love Peter Bogdanovich. He was a great man, great, terrific man. You should see my film with Dukes when you get a chance. You'll love him in it. I'm already looking forward to it. So in this film, you talk about the humanity.

This is what's so interesting is to see the humanity of villains, right? And you know, I mean, if you're playing Yago or you're playing Othello, I guess you can't do that anymore. But the point is, honestly, we have to see the humanity because it makes them come to life. And Joe Biden is the classic case.

As much as I want him out of the presidency, as much as I know he has been a force for tremendous evil, he's a human being. And that's kind of what makes it even more horrible, that these are people that have given themselves over to dark forces. When the Hunter Biden laptop story was squashed, to me, that was. To me, that was the end. I said, I've never seen anything this dramatic in American public life that everyone would say that the most important story in many decades is not a story and shove it to the side and try to cancel everybody, myself included, who would dare to talk about it. That's when you knew we had gone through the looking glass and we were in a new America and we better do something about it. Absolutely frightening, Eric. Absolutely frightening. And just to pick up on your

point about in terms of not demonizing the character. You know, I've played many bad guys, the apex being, of course, a bond villain. But whenever I play those characters, you humanize them. I never comment on the character you're playing. So I know this inherently as an actor. You're playing a human being who has their foibles, has their soul, have their, you know, and let the audience judge don't comment on it because then it becomes a skit. There was a film that recently, I think, Merrill Street played a Trump-esque kind of

president in the film with a red hat and all of that stuff. And it was so repulsively demonic performance. She's a tremendous actress. She could have played it much better. But the left wants to take the caricature of, say, a female Trumpish character and just distorted into this ugly, who's that an expressionistic painter, the German painter. You know who I'm talking about.

Agon Sheila? No, no, no. He's a Frank, something or the, you know, he's gone. Listen, when we come back, we're going to get you the name of that French impressionate. Oh, German, German expressionist. French Impressionists. Sorry, we'll be right back with Robert Dobby, the film My Son Hunter. Go to My Son Hunter.com. Folks, it's called My Son Hunter. Obviously, it's about Hunter Biden. Mysonhunter.com. Mysonhunter.com. The director, Robert Dobby, is my guest. What else can we say, Robert, in a few minutes we have left?

I'm just so excited. Well, it's important that everyone watch the film because, again, it also invites the media, the mainstream media, social media, that absolutely tipped the hand of the election by hiding the story. You didn't even say ignore it. They hit it. And that should enrage everyone on the left and the right. And if you're, and like I said, watch this film and keep it open mind.

But it's also very entertaining. It's fun to watch. It's satirical. I made it satirical. It's got heart. It's got humor. It's got sensuality to it. Tone down to a bit because we couldn't be so explicit, nor would we want to be so explicit.

But you still had to show some of the lifestyle of Hunter Biden who went in and then made deals with the, heads of the mafia of the Burisma Oil and Gas Company with the Communist Chinese Party and the Chinese Nuclear Energy Commission. And I mean, it's all there in the film. And it's quite an indictment. It's quite an indictment. And you can make your own conclusion. Well, I mean, we're talking, you know, it sounds a little heavy to say this,

but we're talking about the future of planet Earth. when you're dealing with the most powerful country in the world and corruption and making deals with the satanically evil communist Chinese, I think anybody who connects the dots understand this could lead is leading to the end of the United States of America, to the end of liberty, to the end of everything that we hold dear and that many of us have been ignorant enough to take for granted. If your parents come from the old country like mine did and like your did. They appreciate America. They understand this is not normal. People, patriots bled so that we could have what we have. And then you have corrupt figures like Biden and company really just entering this corruption, this swamp and selling the soul of this nation so that they can profit from it. This is we all know. And it's both sides, Eric. It's both sides. I guarantee I know about that. Listen, you.

Carl Rove and Mitch McConnell are in the same filthy boat. It's horrifying, but Americans are waking up in some part because of folks like you putting your talent into a film like this. Will this film be in any theaters? Is that possible or not? I don't know. That's up to the producers. I mean, I would have loved to have a theatrical run, even a limited theatrical run, to then see what the outcome would be. I've seen it on a big screen. It looks great, by the way, and the sound. but I should have an 80-foot screen at the house and you can watch it on your, if you have a big screen. It's, it's, but no, you can get it at mysonhunter.com.

You can get the DVD now. And I'm sure there'll be screenings popping up at different places. It would be fun to have, you know, different screenings for. We should do one in New York. Would you have a little red carpet? Hey, Ann and Phelam, come on. We really should because this is. I wanted them to have.

have, here's what was my game plan, Ann and Phil. I know this, and Breitbart knows this. I wanted a screening in Westwood, at the Bruin in Westwood, right in the heart of it all. A red carpet, I didn't care who showed up, but have it right in there. Have one in New York and D.C. and, you know, maybe one in Florida. But I felt we should have kicked it off with those kind of screenings, because no matter what the protest or the controversy that people would would get out of it. I think they would, they have to, like I said, people that have seen it that are friends of mine,

on the left, deep on the left, of course. Like the film. Yeah, it's called art. Ladies and gentlemen, it's called art. Robert Davy, God bless you. Congratulations, the film My Son Hunter. Go to my son Hunter.com.

We hope to see you again soon, Robert. Davy, thank you so much. Thank you, my brother from Astoria. Lauren
