There's bucket list moments that happen right here on the show for me. And part of what this show is about is the things that I'm fascinated by, that Jeffrey are fascinated by. You get to watch our muse and what we are concerned about and the questions we want to ask. Sometimes there are people that predate the work that I did when I got involved with Vax. And I remember that there was a fairly famous comedian out there that was making some comments that blew my mind, how brilliant they were. Before I get into those comments or, you know, what we're talking about, how about we just celebrate this illustrious film career of one of the great comedians of our time? This is Rob Schneider.

Rob Schneider! Please welcome Rob Schneider. Hello, I'm Rob Schneider. Actor and comedic legend, Rob Schneider is here. From the upcoming show, Rob, please welcome Rob Schneider. Please welcome Rob Schneider. Please welcome Rob Schneider. Live from New York, it's Saturday Night! Thank you very much.

My name is Rob Schneider. I'm 5'5. Please remain seated. He doesn't know how to use the three seashots. Tom man. How you doing, Richard? The tomster making coffee. You can come for this are pineapple.

Clean your hotel room. Oh, it's from New Guinea. It's a ceremonial spirit box. Wow, that's cool. What do you do with it? You put your weed in there. This guy's 50. He's got a mustache. So good. That's 8.95.

What? Are you just gonna take it at your tip jar? 95? I got that. He was trying to get out. You might want to get a cover for this. Sometimes people see me and expect me to perform like I'm some kind of train seal or something like that. Why don't you do a scene from one of y'all movies? movies. You can do it. You can do it, Nicky. You can do it.

What? You don't like that's something about Mary movie. First of all, I wasn't even in that movie. If you see The Shark that did this to me, you tell him from me. What's on? Excuse me, I got to take this. What's on? Thank you guys so much. I really appreciate it. Well, you know him from movies. He's made us laugh for many, many years. It's my honor. pleasure to be joined not only by a great comedian, but also really a true freedom fighter. So it's great to have you here. Great to be here on the tonight show of disease.

So, hi-wire. Now, you do great work, and I admire you, and I've seen you grow over the years, and it's been a trip. It really has been. You know, people don't know that you, very early on, when I was getting involved with Baxed, that you had sort of been interacting a little bit with Andy Wakeball's other. on the film side of it and sort of we met and had some thoughts about what a film like that would have to be. You had some great advice for me back then, which was really cool. It's difficult to, you know, first of all, make any movie is tough, you know.

You have to have the money for it, and then you have to be able to make sure and tell a story. And it's got to be, you know, the people, you want to bring in people that you into the umbrella, under your umbrella, that you don't have. Right. You got to people who are freedom fighters or right there. But how do we get other people? in right now that's the key to it and it's um it has been something that has opened up my eyes to the world and to how things really work and it's uh luckily there have been people like you who are real freedom fighters and also you know

Barbara Loh Fisher yeah yeah my guru in this thing who educated me and then kind of pointed like how powerful and the tentacles of the pharmaceutical industry and and the history of it. Yeah. It was Roman Rosiniac and then Dr. Suzanne Humphreys in the book, Dissolving Illusions. Yeah. It was very illuminating, because you have to look at this

historically, how we got here. Yeah. And then maybe they'll give us an idea where we're going. I mean, how did you, you know what, I think people are shocked right now thinking, we're just jumping right this conversation about Baxia, because we don't know that about you. So let me just go ahead.

I want to play a video that I saw you speak at the Capitol, I believe it was in Sacramento. Yeah. During, they're trying to pass 2109, AB 2109, which was the first Senator Pan Bill that was designed to just read you the right act. Like, oh, you'll still have your personal belief exemption. We just

want to have a doctor sit down with you and scare the hell out of you about the disease and what a disaster decision you're making. And people were saying, well, no, that's the slippery slip. That's going to go into trying to take the right way, right? It was a gateway piece of legislation. Yeah. That did lead. In fact, everything. It's like when they're saying that it's a conspiracy theory. Well, the difference

being conspiracy theory and reality went from like six years to like six months, to now it's like six hours, you know? So I do think, but as far as that particular piece of legislation, which was onerous, because the idea wasn't to really educate. It was like for the mom and dads who are really, really have it difficult, and they both have to work, and they both are have to travel and get to work and then they've got to come home, they've got to cook. They don't have time to go see the doctor to get a permission like this.

So it's just going to be easier for them but just go ahead and agree to whatever the completely convoluted and corrupt medical establishment designed for them. And we saw that at that time in 2009 as a gateway to

restrict liberties for people. And for people, for average Californians to make more onerous for them to decide what they want to do with their own children's help. To have their own choice. You got caught in a hallway there by a news camera. I want to play that footage real quick. I don't know how long it's been since you've seen this. Hey, folks, take a look at this. Watch how eloquent Rob Schneider was all the way back. I believe this is 2012. Take a look.

My wife is five months pregnant, and I'm for parental rights, not government coercion, telling us what we can do, what we can't do with our kids. There is no other mandated procedure. First of all, it's illegal. You can't make people do procedures that they don't want. The parents have to be the ones to make decisions for what's best for our kids. It can't be the government saying that. It's against the Nuremberg laws. I mean, it's ridiculous. It's against the state constitution, and it's against their own bylaws here. I mean, I was reading the, I've been reading some legislation that was passed years ago, but they used to do state sterilizations, and they thought that that was a good thing.

You know, so you can't let the state make the decisions. the people have to decide and parents have to decide and that's why I'm here. You know, the idea that the state is going to tell me what I can do with my kids. First of all, and the doctors are not going to tell you both sides of the issue. They're not because they are. They're told by the pharmaceutical industry, which makes billions of dollars, that is completely safe. And let me tell you, they've gone from when you and I were kids, you had like eight shots. Now it's up to 70 shots and multi shots.

And they don't tell you the safety of these things. There's no efficacy study. In other words, if you and I were going to do, if I was going to have a car seat, okay? I was going to say, here's the car seat. You'd have to show some proof that it's a safe seat, right? You'd have to say, here's a thousand, here's a thousand accidents with it, and here's a thousand without it. Okay, you can compare it. They have refused to, and no vaccine company, none of the pharmaceutical companies

and government tests have done a thousand kids with the shots and a thousand without. They refuse to, because it's not what they want to hear. Because what they're doing right now is that the pharmaceutical industry, are doing fine, they're making billions of dollars, and they're continuing to, they're increasing more shots. And it's at the cost of our children. Because we don't, they don't have, the efficacy of these shots have not been proven. And the toxicity of these things, we're having more and more side effects. You're having more autism. When you go from autism, which is unheard of in America in 1930, to it was one in five thousand after seeds started being preserved with mercury,

which is the second most toxic thing on this planet next to plutonium. And then you go to, let's go up a couple of decades. By 1990, it was 1 in 200. Now it's 1 in 88. Now, truthfully, it's true that a lot of the autism rates are grouped into one. But there is something that's really happening. And one of the most vulnerable things you can do to a child who doesn't have an immune system is give them a shot.

And I'll just give you one example. You take the hepatitis B. Okay? The hepatitis, you're only going to get that from drug use, and you're going to get that from intravenous drug use and get from sexual contact. And yet they won't let a baby out of the hospital unless insisting on getting the shot. I'm sorry. There's an unnecessary shot that they don't need to have, especially when the baby's immune system isn't developed.

The baby's immune system is the mother's immune system. So it is beyond ridiculous. It's criminal. And so here we, I'm up here, flying up here, to testify to this lunacy. And I can't believe that they're willing to continue this. people have to stand up i mean that's the part about democracy people have to step up and that's what i'm here to do today do you think there's too much government intervention in our lives today whether or not you live in california or in new york or anywhere in the u.s i mean but there is some and there needs to be some i mean governments need to protect roads and i agree with that but

government can't make decisions on what i do to my body and my children's body that they have to stay out of that that's not something that's open for discussion i got to make my choice and i'm going to do what's best for my child and to the idea that they're going to mandate that you if I don't want to vaccinate my kids. They can't go to school unless they get a consent from a doctor. That's lunacy. Because you're assuming that the doctor is going to show you both sides, that there's benefits and there are risks.

There's a great book for people to go and get. It's called The Vaccine Guide by Dr. Neustedler. Read that, and then become informed. And then you can make an educated decision, not a government mandate. And so I'm against this by Assemblyman Pan, is it? I'm not voting for Pan. I'm going to vote against him. He's up for election.

Let me tell you, I'm going to be up here, and I'm going to campaign against you, okay? It's for you putting a bill that's against parental rights. And I'm going to make sure you don't get reelected. You know, there's only so many times in life where there's an injustice and you go, yeah, that one doesn't affect me, you know? Yeah. And I was like, whew.

I was working as a producer at that point on the CVS talks to the doctors. I personally had never been vaccinated. So I was a bit, I was in this medical show, this medical world, really wasn't talking about my background. But the truth is, Rob, my mom just was like a hippie that didn't vaccinate me. It wasn't like I had some understanding of the science around or whatever. It's just sort of how I was raised. I saw that video.

You know, somehow it came across my desk and I watched it. And it blew me away how much you knew. I mean, and things, I didn't know any of that. I didn't know the autism rates and the increase that had been there. You were so eloquent about the hepatitis B vaccine. I remember thinking to myself, my God, how do you get to the point where you can just flow like that on an issue around science. And I'm thinking, and this is a guy I thought was just like, you know, ridiculous comedian, he's a funny guy. You were so eloquent. And I mean, honest to you,

now I look back, I said that's like, I think I might have plagiarized you, man. I mean, there's a lot of what you said there that became major talking points for me as I got involved in this issue. How did you, how, you're before my time. I mean, you know, I don't know how old, we're probably close, but how did you get into this so early? Well, you know, it was, there's some things that get slapped in your face. And I would say, like, there's only so many injustices you can go through in life. Look at the cell phone I have.

Well, it's made by slave labor in China. Yeah, but I like my iPhone. Yeah, I drive a Tesla. Yeah, but you know the rare earth minerals that's done by other slave labor. Yeah, but I want to keep driving my Tesla. You know, you think about this doesn't affect me. This doesn't affect me.

That only can go so far. And I do feel like there are some things that, like, when you see it, you can't unsee it. And I remember I was always curious because my family, my mother's side, they're Filipino, so they have to be in medicine. They're all nurses and doctors. I'm the only official idiot in my family, you know? And by the way, when I've seen that clip, I hadn't seen it in years. The only thing I remember was the press saying, yeah, but he said Nuremberg Laws.

It's not that, it's called Nuremberg Code. Oh. That's the only thing you get out of it? Right. It was that moron on HBO. What's his name? John Oliver. It's a complete chill, unfunny, pile of crap that guy. And no one who's really a comedian respects that guy at all.

And so it's just funny to see that that's what they'd pick because it's so easy to go with the system and not go against it. But I remember, like, because I always had questions about things in medicine, and I saw my dad die right in front of me and doing all the Western medicine thing they said. And I had to say at a certain point, and they were all well-intentioned, good people.

Yeah. But then when you learn that the allopathic form of medicine, like we're different parts. And I said, so we're different parts? And you realize that that's not a good system. And that there was a flex report in 1905. And I started, even when you start peeling the onion, and you started going, well, there's this.

And the flex report was basically where they decided, which is, you know, I'm going to say, you know, this was funded by Rockefeller. But what it really was was they decided we're not going to do this type of medicine. We're going to focus on different parts. And I think it was, I can't say back then, it was completely financially based,

but it was just, I don't think it was, like today, doctors. I don't think it is intentional harm. I just think it's the way that they're trained. And so you have, they treat people like we're cars. Your part, you have a lung or whatever. When it's a systemic total body issue, the cancer particularly doesn't matter where it comes out. It's a system problem. And it comes out of this particular area, but it's not just that area.

It's something has to change within the total body. and so and that holistic and so you go down this road a little bit and then I remember you know wonderful accidents that happened one was I was working with a director to make a movie

and I went to his house nice guy very funny and you know and famous and his wife was he was married to one of these doctors you know TV doctors yeah and they just had a beautiful baby and just out of the blue I don't know why I said

what shots did you give it I don't know why I asked yeah she said none And I go, none, well, why not? And she said, well, they're too small to absorb those toxins and they have an external immune system, their mother's breast milk. And I said, why do you, why do you tell other people to do it? And she's, well, I don't. It's up to them.

It's up to them. And then years later, it's like, they're not up to them. And you realize, and then you realize some of the health decisions that are made have nothing to do with health. You know, the HEPB one was my eye opener. Yeah. Because it was a, what Merck described. as an orphan drug.

And I said, what do you mean an orphan drug? He said, well, it was designed for teenagers. But you know when your kids are six, seven, and eight, you stop taking by the doctor because they're fine. You're busy. You got to do this. And the next thing, you know, you don't worry about it. You go to the doctor, they've got a broken arm or something.

But you never go. Right. But you go in the very beginning because you're scared. You're especially young parents. Yeah, so that first little fragile baby just feels like anything can take it out. The greatest expression, the greatest thing he told me years ago, when Dr. Jay Gordon and Santa Monica, a great position. and a great person. He says to me, you know what, when a new baby is born in Los Angeles,

you know, a new baby, new parents come to me and they have a new beautiful baby. You know what they, you know what they never say when they come into me? What's best for Los Angeles that I used to do for my baby? And so the Merck drug, going back to the Hep B shot, was they had a drug that was basically designed for teenagers or older people. No one was taken. And so they said, we're not going to have an orphan drug out there. If adults won't take it, we'll give it to babies. the kids. And so it was the first day. Right. Once you start peeling back and you go, this is, and then you start realizing like what's happening with the COVID drug, they have no liability. And I try to explain

this to people. Is it, okay, here's the thing. We're going to make you buy this tire for your car. Okay? You got to buy. It's mandated. The government's going to, the government's paying your tax dollars for this tire. You have to have it in your car. You can't go to work. And if it explodes and you kills everybody in the car, you can't sue anybody. Why? Well, because, as you know, what's best for the, you know, and so they have complete liability. So once you start peeling back, you go, this is lunacy, and this is something that has happened over many, many, many years, and to where now you're dealing with, then you get another statistic, and this is an old one by the NIH, where 54% of all children in the United States, over half, and this is an old

statistic. It might even be eight years, 10 years old now. Fifty-four percent of children in America suffer from chronic illness. 2012. That was that that rate comes and we were all waiting where we at because it accelerated to that from about, you know, one in 10, one and two, I mean, you know, 12 percent, 12 percent having, you know, chronic illness, 54 percent by 2012. I would think at a certain point. Do you imagine where we're at right now? I mean, there's a reason they're not telling us. They're not telling us. You know, it's just can you imagine like, the, what is it going to take before people or the media becomes a story? And I did say this and it is, there's only one term for it, willful ignorance.

Yeah. I don't want to look at it. And I don't want to talk about it and I don't want to see it. And I just want to ignore it. And at a certain point, you know, as a human being, you have to say, I can't ignore this anymore. He said, this is, and something, I was about to have a kid when that. video was happening. It was like I said you know did you realize the power I mean as you walked in there the power of being a celebrity the way you were I mean very few have

ever sort of walked that path of the issue as controversial as this one did you realize what you were walking into no idea really I'm the idiot of my family I didn't realize I was going right into the cannon fire after that I had to become more wily as you have because you know if you are you know the drummer boy in front of the band in front of the army you know the first they got to shoot you you to get to the army right you know and if you're one of the you know i can't call myself a leader in this this but i i would say if one of the people who who's who's out well you're visible i mean you just had an immediate visibility plenty of people could speak but standing in front of a microphone when

you turn to a camera as rob schneider and say hey read this book that has an effect i mean it doesn't that's why i mean i will tell you like i got when uh when all the when all this shit came down on me which was, you know, with the pharmaceutical business, it's like, it's so powerful. This is all the stuff that I learned after, after that, was that they spend upwards in a non-election year, 85% of all spending for television, the internet, which is now bigger than what's 10 years ago, up to 85% in a non-election year is big pharma. Yeah. It is only one other country that allows, you know, direct to consumer drug ads.

Yeah. There's a gigantic amount. And if you take a look, and what was really interesting in California and then nationally was the biggest donors for every state legislator, every state legislator, and then federal, and then Congress and Senate, you realize the tentacles and what pharma is. Farma is the legal drug cartel. They are. And they've managed to figure out a system of just like, this is just collateral damage for them. It's the cost of doing business. children dying people dying it's like they'll just pay it off until there is criminal charges

it will continue until they a CEO or people on the board are brought up on criminal charges for fraud yeah negligence I agree that and and and criminality until there's a homicide charge right it's going to continue why because it's the cost of doing business when you spoke out one of the things I remember headlines I believe it was Allstate, yeah, here where you are. Rob Schneider's fires back after State Farm polls ad over his anti-vaccination views. The comedian quotes George Washington

to suggest his freedom of speech is being infringed as though, oh my God, Rob, George Washington, how could you? I know. But what is it like to sit in that? Well, because people don't realize how fragile that is. I mean, as an actor, this is a very small little world. As an actor, right, as an actor,

you don't realize like, the show, business wants no controversy they don't want anything like it's like it's trying to get people's eyeballs and people to like you right and so the you know the the writers are scared the directors are scared right the network is frightened you know you don't want any of this problem and anything so if you are seen in that way this why actors are trying to get work you know I'm an elected board member a national board member on the screen actors guild and they're all scared they're just trying to get work and they're always coming from a position of fear

which is what you should not do but It is tough because when they take away your livelihood, it threatened to. And it's an interesting thing that happened because I did this cartoon, which went all over the violin. I put my name on it. But it really showed the, what lengths the pharmaceutical industry did to protect themselves. Well, we have that question. Hold on a second.

So we know we're talking about it. Let's roll it right here. Let's roll it. The, this is, this is truly one of the greatest videos. I had it fact checked before I put my name on it. And so I said, well, at least it's fact-checked, but the facts don't matter to the media anymore. Well, here it is. So just so you can see it, this is a doozy.

Check it out. Do vaccines cause autism? In the last 30 years, the childhood vaccine schedule has tripled, while the U.S. autism rate has skyrocketed from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 50. Dozens of published research papers show that, yes, vaccines and autism are linked. Yet the debate rages on, in part because of the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, passed by Congress as a result of pharmaceutical lobbying. It shields drug companies from liability for injuries and deaths caused by the vaccines they manufacture.

Vaccines that the federal government admits are unavoidably unsafe. To see how this tilted the law in Big Pharma's favor, let's look at Eric, a child suffering, from vaccine-induced autism. Had Eric been harmed by a pharmaceutical product other than vaccines, his parents could sue the manufacturer in civil court, entitling them to the standard legal process with a judge, jury, private attorneys, legal precedent,

and discovery, all within public view. But for kids like Eric, the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act says no. Instead of suing the pharmaceutical company directly, parents of children like Eric are forced to petition the Department of Health and Human Services and if federal health officials oppose compensation, the case is argued before a special master in the U.S. claims court. Many refer to this as vaccine court, though it isn't a court at all, but rather an administrative procedure in which the family asks the government to admit the vaccine

caused their child harm and requests compensation for the child's care. Here are some shocking facts about the so-called vaccine court. Pharmaceutical companies do not have to participate in the proceedings at all. Taxpayers pay for all damages. The U.S. Department of Justice acts as the government's lawyer, with taxpayers footing the bill for their defense. The family's attorney is paid out of the trust fund, administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, which has a history of punitive. punishing plaintiffs' lawyers by slashing their fees and waiting a decade or more to pay them, leaving some families without any legal representation.

There's no required discovery process, so potentially incriminating documents stay hidden in the hands of the vaccine manufacturers. Most hearings are off limits. No public, no reporters. There's no judge or jury. A special master appointed by the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, both both presides over the hearings and issues the rulings, which can limit the chance of an objective verdict. Legal precedent is limited, so the program issues contradictory rulings. In the case of Bailey Banks, a special master ruled the boy's autism was caused in fact by the MMR vaccine.

Yet in later cases, special masters ruled that vaccines do not cause autism. even though federal compensation has been awarded in at least 83 cases with autism. Almost unbelievably, the Department of Health and Human Services actually owns vaccine patents. When these vaccines are purchased, HHS profits. In the words of Eric's mom, government attorneys defend a government program using government-funded science decided by federal bureaucrats trying to keep their government jobs. Kids like Eric never had a chance. The passing of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act

prompted manufacturers to ramp up development of new vaccines, furiously lobbying the CDC to add their new shots to the recommended schedule. As a result, a baby today receives more vaccinations by six months than her mother did by the time she graduated high school. Amazingly, neither HHS nor HHS nor her. Congress has ever reviewed the potentially devastating health effects this vaccination surge has had on our children. Today, over half of all U.S. kids suffer from chronic disease and disability. At a November 2012, Congressional Autism Hearing, CDC officials failed to cite even one study

backing up vaccine safety claims. Congress is now planning federal hearings to further investigate the vaccine injuries. compensation program. The next round of hearings begins in November of 2013. If you're outraged by the staggering miscarriage of justice exposed in this video, please visit canaryparty.org now and register for our mailing list. Find out how you can help hold our government accountable for vaccine safety and bring about justice for our vaccine injured children. I'm Rob Schneider. Thank you.

That is all 100% factually true. You don't go to a judge. You don't get to show evidence. I know. It is a magistrate that is, and you're not allowed to have the public there. So it really is very, you know, I hate to say it. I don't know if you can use the word dystopian, but it's definitely like... It may not have been dystopian by when you were making that video.

It's dystopian doubt. It got there. I think we got there. I think you're a little ahead of yourself when you jumped in there. The Czech writer, Kafka. Oh, yeah. It's very Kafka-esque. And so anyway, after that happened, I did this commercial, which was a mistake.

I should not have done that commercial. I don't like doing commercials at all. I don't want to put my name on things. And then so I did the state farm, and I got bullied into doing it. One thing, I needed the money to finish my TV series, which I was doing myself. Yeah. I said, ah, we'll just go ahead and do it. But I knew it.

It was like, I don't say it was a direct setup, but I was set up by the fact that I put myself in that situation. Yeah. And so what happened was there was a few people on the internet. And at that time, you know, this is going back almost 10 years now, where the companies were more, you know, would react if something. This is something we got to get a. And so it made it big deal about, you know, ending that campaign that I did with Aaron Rogers, who later had his own vaccine.

Yeah, look, he got himself in the middle of it, the whole COVID thing. He didn't call me after that got pulled. I don't hold it against them. But, you know, it was very interesting was when all that went down and there was publicity, and they literally tried to, you know, to end anybody wanted to work with me. I got an interesting phone call from a very good friend of mine who was a CEO of a Fortune 500 company. And he called me and I just got off stage off the Wilbur. Sold out show at the Wilbur snaps.

And I just got out of stage and I was still kind of shaken by it, literally physically shaken by it. And that's what they try to do to fear you, to scare you. They really is, they'll go after you. And he got a phone call, and somebody had talked to him. And he said this to me, and I'll never forget it. And I'm putting it in my book, but I'll talk about it here for the first time. Okay. He said, you're a nuisance now, but you're really famous.

If you hurt them, if you cost them money, you will never work again. They will sue not just you, but the people that you work, for to make sure that you never work again. Wow. And I said, what I'm saying is true. Somebody has to talk about this and fight this. And he said this to me. He said, you have a daughter.

Is it fair for her to have to fight this too? It's like, whoof, that got me. Yeah. That was powerful. And it's true. These people, they are relentless. and they will stop at nothing because it's an industry.

It's like trying to fight the military industrial complex. I mean, it is one of the most biggest profit-making businesses in the history of the world. They don't want anybody fighting against this. Right. But what was interesting at that time

because I had luckily, I had Roman Brezianak who wrote, I can't pronounce his name, and I had you, who was kind enough to reach out to me, and I also had Barbara Loh Fisher. And she said something. She said,

they're going to push so far that it's going to collapse. Yeah. The pharmaceutical industry is going to push so far. And I remember because at that time I was working for, around that time I was working for Disney and doing a movie before this happened. And I remember Barbara calling me and said they got a board. At that time, it was impossible to even admit to tell people that there was such a thing. First of all, a drug.

You know, vaccines are a drug. and there are going to be any drug. There's no drug. It's 100% safe 100% of the time for 100% of the people. Everything. And so we have to look, if there are more benefits than there are risks, well then that's a consideration needs to be done. That's how every drug needs to be done.

That's how it does legally and also ethically and morally. We need to do that. And it needs to be, if there is risk, there must be choice, or we don't have freedom, we have intolerance, and we have really medical tyranny. So at that time, they were trying to raise, they raised money through donors. This is the National Vaccine Information Center. Yep, great.

That's just for people that just maybe hearing Barbara Lofisher, you know, she, 10BS.org. Just finally got back on Twitter. Thank you, Alon Mosque. Yeah, truly. But she, I mean, it's spectacular. One of the, you know, founders, I would say, in many ways of the movement. She worked with the Reagan administration. She had a child that was injured.

She wrote a shot in the dark. Yeah. She's really the first seminal book. about vaccine injury. She was actually worked with the, on behalf of the parents, with the Regan Administration under the Childhood Vaccine Safety Act of 1986, which actually said these drugs are unavoidably unsafe.

Yeah. And so, but do they have a benefit to the public? And so what happened was, once the liability shield got up, it just was open market on America's and the world's children. Yeah. Because they could do anything now,

as long as it was approved, you know, by the childhood vaccine for the board. Yeah. Once it becomes part of that schedule, then they're liability-free. That's why it was so important for pharmaceutical industry to get in for the COVID shot to get it.

That's why they did that. Yeah. Then they got liability free. How bad did it all hurt? I mean, you know, as it doesn't cost money. It doesn't cost a lot of things. Personal problems, you know? I mean, it was difficult, not getting work.

Yeah. You know? Did you feel like friends had turned on you? Did people, did you feel like there were people that could have helped you through that? I got a lot of phone calls of people who would not go public about it. I don't have a lot of friends.

But the friends who had stuck with me. And I remember, like, you know, I had some powerful people who contacted me. And over the years, they contacted me when it got tighter and tighter in California. He said, what can we do? And I said, well, you could have stood up, and said something years ago.

Before it got this bad. You have to stand up because, you know, tyranny is incremental. Yeah. You know, I did. And one of the things, I don't know why, but like I've always been interested, because my father was a very good man. I remember in 1954, he told me, he made a decision. He said, this is not fair.

It's not right. It's not ethical and it's not moral for discriminating against people on the color of their skin. In 1954, he was one of the first people in the real estate who rented to African Americans in San Francisco in places that were not being rented. to people of color at that time. And that had an influence on me. And he was also Jewish and like, so, you know, the Holocaust. We didn't that long ago. And so he said, they're going to come again.

And when they come, they're not going to take us. You're going to go run and get this gun. They're not going to get us alive, you know. And so when I went to Europe and I was in West Germany at the Reichstag building in 1984, I said, let me just read every law that the Nazis put in. from 1934 until they didn't need to put any more laws in by about the end of that. And it's interesting because it was incremental. And that's one of the things that never left me was tyranny is incremental.

Yeah, we just take away this right. But no, no, no, it's okay. No, these are the people. No, these are the people, you know, it's okay. This is not you, you know. And then we're going to take these people. And then, well, these people. So, you know, it is really true.

And it's another German philosopher who said that, you know, by the time they, you know, they came for the Catholics. Yeah. I didn't care. I wasn't a Catholic. And then by the time the game for me, it was too late. So it is, it was an eye-opener to, to what, you know, to evil. And you have to call that what it is.

Yeah. But I do think we are particularly, what a incredible country we have and an incredible place where we can, I could sit here today with you and talk about this. Yeah, it's amazing. It's very important that we still have these, these freedoms and to stand up for them and to stand up for them when they're when they're most

needed, you know? Well, let's look at what just happens. So, I mean, here you are. I mean, honestly, you're, I'm not sure I'm here without you. I mean, I want to say that because I say that to people like, what can I do? You know, even if all you did was sort of affect me and I said to myself, boy, it'd be really great to know, have all that information. I started looking into it.

And my life eventually led me to the things that turned out to be facts. and all that. And so you just think like these things that we do, we don't know who we're affecting and how far out this goes. Had you had the world listened to your reasoning, which was, is excellent. It's the same reasoning I'm using today. But so let's just cut to everything we feared sort of in many ways came upon us. This COVID thing, and you talk about Hollywood. I mean, Hollywood here, you know, I was working in Hollywood prior to this. You know, I had sort of gotten out right before COVID. You have a career in there. Hollywood was the propaganda machine for this insane destruction of liberty and freedom in America. What has that been, I mean, from an inside,

I mean, no one was more tested. I mean, all my friends are calling me tell I can't get on a set without getting tested every freaking day. Fear is an incredible tool that can be used in every great dictator as known that if you use it, it can be done well. Because your most basic instinct is, well, survival. And so what happens is when you're any brainwashing techniques, whether it's a cult or whether it's a, you know, a society trying to push and squelch the centers and and get people to do something, if you keep them in a suspended state of fear, they will suspend their common sense and their sense of logic, their ability to be rational, we'll take a backseat

to the survival. Yeah. And it is a herd mentality. And if you just take a look at like Stanley Milgram. Oh, yeah, yeah. If you look at Milgram and I go, because I had to, I mean. The social experiments sort of looking at what I was going like, how is this happening? How are not people seeing this?

And then you just see, you read about Stanley Milgram's study, which was incredibly eye-opening. was that 60% of his students, it was a fake thing where he would make them sit there and torture another person in the other room with electrodes to the point of death. And if the guy had a white coat who was telling him to do it, they would do it because it was an authority figure.

And it was incredible. The 60% of people that he had in his study, which even shocked him, I believe. I can't speak for him. But it seemed like in his writing, he was surprised. That 60% would do it till the point of death. and not question it. So that was really eye-opening.

So there's very few people. And if you think about like, then you go, because I was just in Philadelphia and I was at the hall of Congress where the first Congress the United States was and hearing about, you know, the founding of our country. And like only 3% less than 5, closer to 3% of people took up arms against the British.

Why? Because it's tough. It's difficult. It's tough to make the fight. But I do think. It shows you how few it takes to actually, you know, overthrow a stupid system. It does, it does, but it takes people to stand up for it.

And it does take time. And if again, because, you know, like I was talking about Disney, I didn't get to complete my thing, my idea. But I also want to talk about the leaded and gas after this. But there was a time, a dark time in the medical freedom movement where Barbara Lowe Fisher and the National Vaccine Information Center, wanted to buy a billboard on Times Square, a big billboard. And you weren't allowed to even advertise something.

They would just, they'd take it down. the powers that be and the publicist and everything for the pharmaceutical companies. Hey, you got to take that down. That's misinformation. Right. What it was, was information. It was saying there are risks, know the risks. Yeah.

That was it, the National Vaccine Information Center. And you know what? That billboard was owned by Disney. So what I think happened was that there, you know, it's so many people, so many injuries that happened. Yeah. That, like, one of the members of the board on, at that major, that big corporation at Disney, maybe there was somebody who was injured. They know somebody because they said, no, we're not taking that down.

So that was a stand that somebody in the place of power took. And it does take a long time. And I will say that, like, the pharmaceutical industry shot themselves in the foot. And Barbara Lofisher was right, because she told me, they know they're going to have these things called vaccine passports. And I said, no, get out of here. Right. How are they going to put that? That's going to be too obvious.

And sure enough, you know, people will do what's easiest. And again, it's that 60% Stanley Milgram thing. And that goes on, how many years is this going to take before people realize what's, have they been hoodwinked here? Yeah. How many years? And then I said, well, and then I start, you know, I have to read. I don't know what else I can do.

I have to look at things historically to have some sort of perspective on these things. Yeah. So I started researching lead and gasoline. Well, by the late 20s, scientists knew for a fact that they were able to figure out that a in the in the cities in a in a smaller area where a lot of cars and a lot of lads happening it's increasing the murder rate this is absolutely this is this is empirical data here we have to look at this is something we need to look at this is a real thing here yeah okay from that to to where they took lead out of gas it

wasn't until 1980 wow so you go okay that's that's a half a century more. Right. After they knew. So that's, that's, that's, that's,

that's kind of what we're looking at here. And, but I will say what sped it up was the, uh, was the COVID restrictions. The tyranny just was such that you couldn't ignore it. And then it was.

And it was, you know, I remember because I got the phone call. Oh, Rob, we want you to do a message to keep people indoors. And I was like, fuck you. I'm not doing this.

I didn't hear back from them after that. Right. I was like, I'm not doing that. Yeah. First of all, you know, once you kind of know what you knew, you knew that this was kind of coming. Yeah. You smelled it right away.

You kind of saw the direction they were heading. Yeah. During the COVID thing. And then you realized it's probably not. I remember like his, Dr. Drew and I in March, Dr. Drew Pinsky, he was a great man. Great guy. He's been really beautiful. I think approaching this conversation and a very, finally.

Finally. Finally, but in a very good way. A little while, but he's a good man. Yeah. Because he's open to the truth. Yeah. Unlike a lot of other people and in his profession. He's open to the truth, which is really beautiful because, you know, that is an openness is what we all need to whatever the truth that it is.

So we got on the phone with each other. Just did a podcast. I don't know how many people, maybe 50,000, 100,000. Right. But that's enough to get the New York Times to do a giant piece on us calling us COVID deniers. Wow. When we were saying we weren't sure if this is more or less just potentially more dangerous than the flu. Right.

And this is coming out of from a layman and he's going to have from a doctor. This as far as a global, a deadly global pandemic is just simply, if you look at the numbers, it's not the case. This is not, the normal flu has killed 300,000 people in this last, you know, I think calendar year so far. Yeah. And in that same time, you're looking at what, $8,000 for this particular brand of flu? Right. But the discussion itself was not allowed.

How could that possibly say? I mean, it's insane. We were saying here, I mean, obviously we're covering it here. I was like, hold on a second. We're looking at the numbers. Why can't we get clear? We're good at collecting data. It doesn't look like this thing's getting above a half of 1%,

which means we're right in the flu space. What is warranting the level of panic and lockdown and destruction of societies and careers and, you know, and you're right. Just asking that question, you became a pariah to the world. Well, you know what I really, I mean, if I think about it now, it was, it's easy to say it was planned. But I would think it was like, I can't go there 100%, you know, in my mind. But I have to think that it was never let a crisis go. It was opportunistic of the reality. You have to take advantage of your crisis, whatever.

But it was interesting how it worked because when you start to peel away, and we had a lot of time to peel away at this onion. I honestly think that's the biggest mistake they ever made. Here's what I said. Because you were speaking out, one of our problems is no one's listening. Everyone's too busy. We're too busy trying to get through our daily life. More basically.

When I said, hey, it's your choice. You take this or not. It's up to you. I said, your body, your choice, which they hate. You know? The illiberal liberals hate because no, you're obscondy. They don't say that anymore for choice. Right.

But it is. It's my body of my, and it's said, you don't have to take this if you don't want to. Just say no. Right. And I said that in July of 2021. And that was the most I've ever gotten ever. And I also said at the very bottom, this is what the second amendment is for this. Yeah.

I stand by that. I never apologize for that because it's true. You can stand up to this tyranny. And it was being shoved down people's throats. Yeah. Against their will and take their job. taken away, getting fired, the first responders who were actually the ones dealing with this in the beginning were the ones getting their jobs threatened and fired.

It was just outrageous that this was happening. And but, you know, there is a vulnerability. But to the point, because, I mean, we're in media, right? One of the things that, you know, you had the issue is is people are too busy. They're too busy to look at this vaccine issue. They just drop, I'm dropping my kid off. I cannot work for, I can't think for a doctor. I'm reading every label there is.

I'm already reading the labels. I'm looking at the child safety scenes. I'm trying to get all that. But when it comes to this vaccine, I'm just handing my baby off. I've got to get going. I don't have time to look at that. Exactly.

I'm busy. COVID hits. You take these people that the way you've been getting away with this is they're too busy just trying to survive to actually look at what's happening. You say, now we're going to lock you're in the house. There's nothing else you can do except get on the internet. Yeah. It was the biggest mistake they ever made. So you took the busyness out of them and he said,

I'm going to have you so bored. All you're going to do is like watch old videos of Rob Schneider, Ripped vaccines and tune to the show the highwire. And suddenly, boom, the world changes on them. Millions of people ended up seeing that during the pandemic. Yeah. The statement that I made, which, uh, but what, what happened was you started looking at stuff, said, well, who's behind this shutdown?

Where did it first? Right. It was Spain? I said, Italy? And then Spain? And I said, well, what led to that? And so I started, the next thing I know, I'm looking at data from the Imperial College in London. Yeah.

And this is that this is not, then I showed it to my friends who were much smarter than me. And they go, well, this is, this is, this is flawed data. And I said, well, who's behind this? They're leaving out and cherry picking, which is what they do. Yeah. So I said, well, then who's behind this. law data. Who paid for this? Well, Neil Ferguson was paid, and this is all paper by China. Right.

Where when the virus came out? So bizarre, right. So you're dealing with these lies upon lies upon lies that were finally being exposed because you can't keep, you can't keep a lid on it. You can't, you know why? And it's an interesting thing about where you come at it and I come at it, because neither of our children are vaccine damaged. Right. So we come at this in a different place. But once you see it, once you see somebody who's who's, who's, who's, who's kids, you can't unsee it. Well, I want to say because I think, you know, what we have got to always remember is that

there was a movement built on just horrific injury and parents being told they were crazy and being ostracized for society. Barbara Lowe Fisher said at least pay for our children's injury. If they are a casualty, then you've got to at least pay us. And you're not getting paid. And they don't admit it. They're humiliating you. And so all of that.

But the truth is, and I say this as I go out there, with this movement is exploding now with all the people and what those people are, people that listen to Barbara Lowe Fisher, people that listen to all these parents that told their stories. And we were able to say, you know what, thank you. And so we've got to remember, we are here, our children are stave, because of these parents that were going through this horrific thing. The foundation of the medical freedom movement in the 20th century is on the backs of parents who had their children injured, whose only goal wasn't for their own because it was too late for them. Yeah.

Was to prevent injury from other people because they know how painful it was. And that is very, I am so honored to have, if I can have helped in any small way and spoke for them in a bigger way than they could because of whatever stupid comedy movies I made. And it is the honor of my life. And I will say that like, because of that,

they did help educate people like me. Yeah, me too. To prevent that from happening to other people. And that is incredible because if you take a look at like motivations, ethics, morals, we have to approach this this way. Look at the ethic and morality of this movement. It seeks, its goal is to prevent other damage and to prevent other heartache, to prevent these other children to have a normal life. As opposed to the, what the pharmaceutical industry and the media is, is to have unfettered profit no matter what the human cost. No.

And you take out these motivations. And it's pretty easy to say, we know, I'm going to be on that side. Yeah. Yeah. And so, you know, guys like you, you know, we're not, it's not a lot of us. But more every day, but it's, you know, the team's growing slowly but surely. Not enough to feel the whole football team, but we're six or seven guys who can play both sides. But it's, it's something where I do feel more free now because I do.

think you have to be careful with you know with when to speak and what and how there are people willing to listen I will say that I think I'm more free now I think people are able to see when you have that Congress that lovely Congresswoman she was injured Nancy Mace I think yeah yeah well let's take a look at this Nancy Mace this is her just I think it was about two weeks ago, really laying it out to one of the executives that decided to censor scientists and doctors on social media. Take a look at this. The Twitter files were not just about Hunter Biden's laptop. Twitter files make it apparent. Twitter worked overtime to suppress accurate COVID information. Dr. J. Bata Charia is a professor of medicine at Stanford who once tweeted an article he wrote about

natural immunity. Thanks to Elon Musk's release of the Twitter files, we learned some of his tweets were tagged with the label of trends blacklist. Apparently the views of a Stanford doctor are disinformation to you people. I along with many Americans have long-term effects from COVID. Not only was I a long hauler, but I have effects from the vaccine. It wasn't the first shot, but it was the second shot that I now developed asthma that has never gone away since I had the second shot. I have tremors in my left hand, and I have the occasional heart pain that no doctor can explain. And I've had a battery of tests. I find it extremely alarming Twitter's unfettered censorship spread into medical fields and affected millions of Americans by suppressing expert opinions from doctors and censoring

those who disagree with the CDC. I have great regrets about getting the shot because of the health issues that I now have that I don't think are ever going to go away. And I know that I'm not the only American who has those kinds of concerns. From Dr. Martin Koldorf, if Harvard educated epidemiologists who once tweeted, COVID vaccines are important for high-risk people and their caretakers. Those with prior natural infection do not need it, nor children. The Twitter files reveal this tweet was deemed false information because it ran contrary to the CDC. So my first question this morning of Ms. Gatti, may I ask of you, where did you go to medical school? I did not go to medical school. I'm sorry? I did not go to medical school. That's what I thought.

Why do you think you or anyone else at Twitter had the medical expertise to censor a doctor's expert opinion? Our policies regarding COVID were designed to protect individuals. We were seeing you guys censored Harvard-educated doctors, Stanford-educated doctors, doctors that are educated in the best places in the world, and you silenced those voices. I have another tweet by someone with a following of a full 18,000 followers. this person put a chart from the CDC on Twitter. It's the CDC's own data, so it's accurate by your standards. And you all labeled this as misleading.

You're not a doctor, right, Ms. Gatti? No, I'm not. Okay. What makes you think you or anyone else of Twitter have the medical expertise to censor actual, accurate CDC data? I'm not familiar with these particular situations. Yeah, I'm sure you're not. But this is what Twitter did.

they labeled this as inaccurate. It is the government's own data. It's ridiculous that we're even having to have this conversation today. It's not just about the laptop. This is about medical advice that expert doctors were trying to give Americans because social media companies like Twitter were silencing their voices. Did the U.S. government ever contact you or anyone at Twitter

to censor or moderate certain tweets? Yes or no? We receive legal demands to remove content from the plot. from the U.S. government and governments all around the world. Those are published on a third-party website and anyone can review them. Thank God for Matt Taibi. Thank God for Elon Musk for allowing to show us in the world that Twitter was basically a subsidiary of the FBI, censoring real medical voices with real expertise that put real Americans' lives in danger because they didn't have that information.

It's amazing when she gets up and... Well, she's coming from a place of passion. Yeah. Because she was injured. You can't deny that. The pharmaceutical company said, well, you're a liar. You didn't do it. Yeah.

They could do that to me. They can do that to you. They could cherry pick what we say and find whatever in eloquent inaccuracies. Like saying Nuremberg Law, but when I meant to say Nuremberg Code, they say, well, yeah, that's wrong. Well, you're right. I mean, you talk about saying it right, the right time. I was able to just, you're in town.

I got to check out. your stand-up routine and the way you are weaving now through really dangerous waters, right, especially Austin. Austin's very, this is like San Francisco, Texas, okay? To watch you in that audience, but let's just take a, I go ahead and roll out a couple of things that we saw there. This is Rob Schneider just the other night on stage. Take a look at us.

Selectivirus. Selectivirus, you want to get a hair. D. D. Harris, you go right up your chancel. Sad. In their cars. Over minus is all.

It's the best thing I've ever happened for two years. You know how I'm talking about it. You know, you've heard about it because he didn't know, because you had the phone, you could have turned off, you could have turned off the Facebook or Instagram, turned off your phone, turn off the TV, you could even drive down the road with the state of Texas trying to scare the shton. Remember those signs of the road? You really want to scare the shit about us? I suppose it's been more honest, the signs just said, you weren't sure what's happening now? I'm just going to want people.

We're good. So maybe it's not just going to open, but let me come. I'm just going to people who are really, really out of shape. But I'm really, really, really out of shape. Wait a minute. This guy's parachute didn't open, and he died of COVID. And the guard, the bank's like, excuse me, sir, you're in the bank, you have to wear a mask.

Boy, you guys have a whole 180 and that my . I mean, I have to admit two people did walk out, But only two out of 300 is pretty good. Yeah. I'll take that too. And I'll tell you, Rob. And I respect those two. I want to know what it was that made them leave.

Right in front of me. I was watching table right in front of me. I would say they were 20-something. I had a sense of laughing their heads off. The whole opening, I mean, it was really hysterical. I have to laugh. Thank you so much. I have not laughed.

And my wife and I were really, you know, giggling and so stupid. Executive producer, Jen Sherry, her husband. We were just having a ball. But, you know, you start out with just a lot of just like, inconsistencies in the world and everything, very funny things. And then you would roll, you just like carefully roll into the issue of masking and someone wearing a mask in the car. And I watched this table in front of me and like, literally, it was like the shoulders went up.

I saw, like, all I see is silhouettes like turning to each other. And like, it was like to try to shake the no out of themselves, like fighting it. And then just as I'm like, are these people going to get up and leave? And you just got out of the, then you moved into a different topic. And then then they were slowly, the shoulders went back down. start laughing again and then you'd go into, you know, these difficult spaces. And again, like watching, and I have to tell you, it was brilliant. Oh, thank you.

And you did, the way you approached the topics, you took really, really smart angles. I learned from Sarah Silverman, who's the other side of the political spectrum, but we're both the same. She's a traditional liberal, but she doesn't realize, well, I shouldn't say what, but I don't know if she really realizes traditional liberalism is under assault. Yeah. And that it is now illiberal liberalism in the guise of liberalism when words don't really. So you have these things now that are Trojan horse terms sound really good. Social justice, I'm for that.

Right. And then it's another thing like, you know, critical, you know, race theory. I mean, there's got to be something to that. And then there's anti-fascist. So I'm not anti-fascist. Why wouldn't they be? But what it is, these are Trojan horse terms, as my friend Andrew Doyle says, and that really bad ideas are hiding inside of them that are not, that really are

inside there that are undermining this tremendous advance of 20th century liberalism, which is incredible. Freedom, honesty, justice, equality. This is what liberalism is. But now it's like equality doesn't mean anything anymore. I shouldn't say equality is not enough. And so you have to put other people down and you have to say, well, they're racist automatically and that there's a systemic racism that they don't even know that.

And so what you have is you really have, there's no longer logic. It is a political design system to repress again, which is actually undermining all the advances that were made in the 1960s. You and I were the benefactors of in the 1970s. So that is the thing. But to get to it in a way where they don't feel attacked. And so I talk about it, because I do want to talk about the gay community,

and I want to talk about how like, I'm one, don't lose me. Don't lose guys like me. Don't lose people who support you because the gay rights was the civil rights of the 70s, 80s and 90s. And they did come, you know, did come and they did win. What I think has happened is you have like some people in my professional comedians opinion who don't have the best interests of the gay community that are now infiltrating and or now speaking for that community. And I do believe that there will be, that's

potentially the gains that the, the wonderful gay community has made could be in jeopardy. And I'm concerned about that because I just love all people. Yeah. Yeah. You get into the attack on women, you know, and, you know, this, I mean. That is true. They fought so hard to establish inequality. And you said, you know, in the show you talk about it, where you're right about there. You're just about to be being paid what we all are.

And suddenly now men recognize themselves as women come in and start grabbing everything. I mean, there's more. I didn't go into it last night because I know it was a bit much. But I do think like there is physical jeopardy for women. I mean, just the fact that they're, you know, a man can say a rapist. It's true. I didn't forget the guy's name in London. but in England, I don't think it's in London, it's England, where he said, I'm a woman,

he gets out of the men's penitentiary, goes to the women's prison, and starts raping women in there. So you have not just the potential for the safety of women being in jeopardy. You have the physical jeopardy of women happening. You have more harm again happening to women. And it's also happening to Title IX. And this is a weird to say, because I'm a history nerd, and I would say lightly. I don't have myself a historian, but I'm interested in this. So what is this?

Yeah. So the last progressive president we had, who would you guess would that be? Progressive president? The last progressive president. I would say people would say Obama. People would say Obama, they're wrong. Because the rest real progressive president who put in progressive policies was Nixon. Nixon put in Title IX.

Nixon put in the EPA. I mean, this is a very, you know, Nixon wanted universal health care, and he was opposed by Senator Edward Kennedy, believe it not. And so, yeah, Kennedy very mixed. I mean, he wanted credit for it, and he also, he nixed it. So, but Title IX was very interesting because it was so positive towards women. Basically, he's Title IX saying, if you have a men's sport in university, and that university is getting money from the state, well, then you have to have an equal woman's sport of that or something of that.

Comparable. And so Title IX was very important for women, and athletes. and for an education that you could have part of that education has to be sports part of it has to be you know many things to make for a really good education so that was nixon so that is under threat now and you know it's interesting because the people when you see not to name name names but you see some athlete who comes in you know 72nd and in in his against other guys and all of a sudden beating women it's you know but the people in the audience who were clapping and the announcers who the poor bastard announcers well what a

trailblazer she is you know wow what incredible I mean what a you know barrier breaker you know there don't mean that yeah they're forced to say this because they don't want to be ostracized because they know that the illiberal liberal intelligence you if you go against any if you don't bite into all of this apple yeah you're out yeah and so I think it's important to protect women more importantly than to protect an idea yeah and it's more important to protect the gains of traditional liberalism than it is to put in a new philosophy that is obviously barren of ethics and morals

because it's on people because of the basis of the color of their skin, which is antithetical to true liberalism. And it's also the gay movement, which was, you know, a very important thing that happened in the world. Yeah. Was to, you know, if Jesus said love others, he didn't say except these people. Right. And so it's really important that, um, to also protect that important movement as well. And that's traditional liberalism.

I grew up in San Francisco. My heroes, when I first was 16 years old and I went to, I lied about my age and I got to go to a beautiful theater program at San Francisco State University. All my heroes, all the professors, all the people were gay. No. And at the first time, because I never, never, never, never. Look, I grew up doing theater my whole life. I mean, it's, it's a part of some of my best friends.

Beautiful. People. my hero. Yeah, agreed. So, you know, Glenn Greenwald, a hero. Yeah. You know, and so, you know, that's my, you know, at this point, if I can do what I can to support these beautiful people, I will.

Let's be honest. I mean, there is the tact on women. There is, I believe, you're right about the attack on gay rights, all these attacks. But I think one of the most tragic and perhaps horrific and most terrifying destruction or attempted destruction by, modern liberalism, as you call it, because I consider myself a liberal, too, that has been, but it is the attack on comedy, the attack on our ability to have a sense of humor. I mean, I grew up, when you look at Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, you mean, you look at all these people that are out there, they jump and just hit you right in the soft spot of the

moment, whether it's with racism or gays and all of it. But our ability to laugh is why I think those movements were successful. We've got to be able to sort of flex. And now we live in a time where you are not allowed to joke about it. I was just reading this morning. Ben Stiller is having to defend Tropic Thunder. They're like saying he should recant that he made it. They're going to cancel.

Right, right. Back in time. You know. I think Bill Burr talked about it. But I talked about this years ago, during the COVID. Are you going back in attacking some article about John Wayne from 1972 at USC at a commencement thing when he was drunk saying this stuff? And they wanted to pull down the airport, right?

John, like we were going to take the name off the airport. They're going to, something he said back when it was attacking dead people because they've run out of people to attack. Yeah. It is an intolerance in the guise of tolerance. But what is it like trying to do comedy right now? Every story that I do. I will say every show that I do now is sold out everywhere. Really?

People want to hear it. But it was an interesting part about a year ago where people would pay money to come to my show to walk out in specific places. Really? They'd like, you know, huh? You know? And it was kept happening. So my dear friend John Cleese wrote a, said, Rob, you shoot John Cleese for Monty Python. And, you know, and his great movie, Fish Call One, one of the great comedies of all time.

And he said, you know, you should give a warning before your shows. And I said, John, what, give it to me. He said, those of you who find yourselves in a political echo chamber where ideas separate than your own may cause your emotional collapse should consider that maybe this is not the show for you. Of course, I made it a little dirtier because I go. And I did, and I give a warning now. You're warned. Right.

But the idea is that what happens is you're not in a, you're not in a bubble. And people want to stay in their bubble and not be challenged. And the whole thing about it, you need to constantly, constantly be challenging the foundational thinking. Otherwise, you get stale. Like the liberalism truthfully got stale or something. and now it's being challenged, and they're not challenging the challengers.

So there is a dereliction of duty in liberals to call out this illiberalism. I think there's a dereliction of duty by Hollywood also, and by media. I mean, look at all of these times, it's really art that saves us. Art is what perseveres, whether it's dancing in a speakees, you're trying to move people's hearts, even though we're in a difficult situation. If we lose the artist, if the artist get bought out or somehow start working for the machine, I think it's game over. Hitler very much knew the power of, well, I would say what the thing about comedy is,

which I'm very aware of, is it's subversive. I can, if you allow yourself to be logical and rational and you allow yourself to laugh, I have the, I believe I have the potential to subvert you temporarily. to my point of view, to open something, to maybe expand your idea on a subject. And that's it. And Hitler knew that. And that's why he hated that, you know, the dictator so much in Charlie Chaplin. Because he realized, wow, people are being subverted by humor.

If you can make them laugh, then they no longer want, you have the ability to really sort of get a rabble crowd to kill you. You're humanity. I mean, the difference between us and the rest of the animal kingdom. the ability to laugh and to look at ourselves and to look at the potential and go like, well, we can also foresee our graves. I don't know if whales or lions can do that. But we can look at our lives and go,

well, what do we want to add? What do we want to do? Or what do we want to say? And I will say that for all the difficulties that I have suffered, I suffered, but whatever, well, for the difficulties that I had for speaking out, whatever,

I regret none of it. And I feel like blessed because I needed to. I needed to get back to where I just wanted to, you know, tell jokes on the stage that hopefully made people laugh. And if I can get them to think, fine. But that's not the goal. The goal is to express what I want to do and make people have a good evening and a good laugh.

And that was it. And I've had to go, because, you know, what happens? And I'm sure, where you can go down the rabbit hole and get lost. You know, because it is so much trauma and there's so much pain. And there's so much of the people in our community. And I graciously, you know, put myself in it, but by saying, by including myself, because I don't have injured children. I'm not injured. But I, but when you see that at that depth of pain and how these people, I don't know if I would have survived that. Because I just don't know if I have that makeup where I see these beautiful parents. I agree. With injured children and the, you know, you see Polly Tommy, the grace.

One of my co-producers on Bax, yeah, great. Polly Tom, and you see the grace that this woman holds herself. When you see people like, you know, Josh Coleman, whose child's injured by vaccines, and how he moves his message forward in his own unique way. Giving the movement a look, I mean, the signage and the genius of that, and these stunts at Star Wars and Disneyland, I love this guy. It take pain, and they beautify it artistically.

And I don't know what it is. I don't want to ever describe what it is that I'm trying to do because I don't really know what it is. It's very fluid. But I will say that I want to present an openness for people who want to come to it. And also just, you know, I'm very proud of the fact the people that I've met through this who've educated me,

Barbara Lof Fisher myself. I mean, whatever, if I helped you in the very beginning, you have lapped me and your courage and you're speaking, and being able to sit with Robert Kennedy Jr. And seeing his evolution on this issue and dealing with his rejection from his own family. I mean, it's a, you know, it is in any rights. And I will say that this is a civil rights movement.

The world. I think it's the most important right we have is control over our own body. If we lose that, all is lost. We have nothing. There is nothing left. It is, and Barbara Lof Fisher, I'll quote her, The most basic human tenet of human rights is to have control and body autonomy, to have control of our own body and to make decisions that was best for me and my family.

And if we don't have that, then we really do have global charity. Is there anything left? I mean, you've had such a, just a beautiful career. You've come full circle. They've attacked. You've showed you can stand. Now you are speaking, your mind, selling out theaters. What's left in a career for someone like you?

dream what is it what is that you need to do to feel like man that was a hell of a life well thank you I never take the time to think about that but thank you for even posturing that I I would like to make a few more movies and make people laugh and a few more movies that make that touch people's hearts I'd like to live long enough to see the medical freedom movement get what they deserve which is a constitutional amendment so that people have the choice to do what they want. What they feel is best after doing the risk analysis assessment for themselves with their personal physician who's not being told what he can and cannot say. For themselves, what they believe is best for themselves

and for their children. And so that we can have a healthy group of children who don't have to worry about somebody else bringing peanuts to school. And I didn't grow up with that. We had no in the penit allergies. And I'm not a doctor and I don't profess to say exactly what causes that. But I will say there is a plethora of children who are dealing with chronic illness that I believe is preventable. If that is not the number one issue every day in the newspaper, then what is our nation's, our future of our nation is our children's health. And if I had anything to do with opening people's eyes or anything to do with helping

that medical freedom movement moving inch. It's the greatest honor of my life. Where do we find out where you're going to be next? Rob Schneider.com for tour dates, and it's been a blast, and people have a really good time now. I'm there to get laughs, and if people take away what they want, they can. It's great. You've got some great days coming.

And people got to see the show. It was absolutely hysterical. I think coming up, you're in Houston, Texas, is out of Tampa, California. I'm taking my comedy special April 15th. April 15th. Where's that going to be? Can we like get into that theater still? Yeah, Tampa Bay. It's a Tampa Theater in Tampa Bay. Okay, April 15th, Tax collecting Day. It's awesome my birthday. Hey, right.
