Reagan's Brezhnev Breaks Silence: Robert Davi Exposes Hollywood's Hidden Invasion

0:00As prices keep rising, social security is even more important to older Americans. I counted it to pay for groceries and prescriptions. Everything costs more now. AARP is fighting to protect the social security Americans earn through a lifetime of hard work. I've paid into social security since I was a teenager. It isn't a handout. I earned it. Join us to stand up for Social Security. Visit aarp.org slash social security voter paid for by AARP. And it's corrupt. It's corrupt. Excuse me for getting angry. It's corrupt. He is fired up actor, movie maker, singer, Robert Davie. He is not playing around about the future of this country. What's happening in this country? The DSA, the radicals in Hollywood and the re-release of Reagan with even more footage. He plays Lee and his bread knife in that. You got to check out this interview. He is not holding back. In doing what I do, I oftentimes pinch myself because I'm like, I'm not going to interview that guy. But I haven't reviewed this guy. We actually were on spaces before on X and he's just an absolute great mind.

1:05He's an incredible actor. He's also a singer if you didn't know. You need to know this. It's Robert Davie. Robert's good to see you again, man. Thanks again for coming back on. Great to see you, Joe. And thank you for having me. It's an absolute pleasure. I did catch Reagan when it first was available. I know that it's going to be sort of a re-release with new scenes and everything else. And what I, what I didn't even get and this is going to sound stupid because I know your face easily. But I didn't even realize it was you doing Brezhnev at first. And I was like, what the first of all, you're an Italian guy from Queens. And you're playing a Russian leader and you played him so well, I got lost in the part. When you get a part like that, do you have to get into a mind six? I have no idea to act. What would you ever get into a mindset? I'm going to be a Soviet leader now and I'm going to act like he might have acted. Well, I research, first you research, then you know the music. I'd been to Moscow. I did a movie there years ago. But every character I take, you know, I played a Palestinian in 1988.

2:07That they thought I was Palestinian. I played an Orthodox Jew two years ago. We filmed in Tel Aviv and in Slovakia. It's a story. I played an Orthodox Jew who saves 300 girls from Auschwitz. I played a Colombian drug lord. I played, you know, yeah. I mean, you're the quintessential character actor. I mean, but then again, we Italians kind of look like Jews and kind of look like Palestinians and kind of look like we could be, you know, from South America. I mean, so I don't know. Where are you people from? I know from Naples and Sicily. Barry and Naples. So body and the, not only, yeah. Not only, yeah, bodies nice have you been? I have. Yeah, they say I had no idea that there were rocks in the Adriatic Sea. I was cutting my feet up. I had to go by gel shoes to where to even go to the beach, right? Right, right. It's beautiful though. But I mean, in that region, we all sort of, I mean, you can tell it's almost familial in that region. Yes. Well, I think also as artists, we have a universal feeling.

3:09I used to love Anthony Quinn. Of course, he could play anything. And that was, you know, Anthony Quinn could play any kind of nationality, any kind of character. But my feeling is with Brezhnev, Lina Brezhnev, I learned the music, the Russian music. I then learned, I read about him. I watched videos about him. And many things I wish they had gone deeper with him in the script because he was quite a complex guy. And he was probably the longest Soviet leader since Putin. And he, he never really wanted to go into Afghanistan, believe it or not. And he was looking for a partner to have a gladnest with. He was looking for a partner, but Jimmy Karnet was not a very helpful person. He was so close. Yeah, he was very, I mean, that's a whole story. He was friends with Nixon. Brezhnev was friends with Nixon. I didn't know that.

4:09Yeah, no, Nixon, not only were they friends. Nixon bought him a car because he loved fast cars, American cars. He was a big fan of the riflemen and TV series and raw hide. And he also loved America. And when I was researching, there was no connection between him and Reagan. But I knew there had to be. So I was watching a QI-1A they did together. Nixon and Brezhnev did in Sanklemente. And at the, you know, you would turn it off after it's finished. But I said, let me stay on to the very, very last second end. And people are going up now shaking hands. And the first people to come to Brezhnev, I guess who? Ronald and Nancy Reagan. Wow.

5:10So they knew each other. Reagan was governor of California at the time. This was in the 70s. And there was an assassination attempt on Brezhnev in 1968. So when Reagan was done by the Politburo, it was the inside job. Right. And when Reagan was assassinated, I think Brezhnev wrote him a letter in prison. We don't show that in the film. But I had brought all this research to the guys. And I said, this would be interesting. But it wasn't a film about Brezhnev. But it's interesting because Reagan was fighting communism. And that's one of the biggest takeaways. Like, I'm sure you've seen young Washington. Yes, of course. Great movie, right? Yes. And Reagan, the generation of today don't realize that in Hollywood, especially, the Communist Party was alive and well, much like they are today.

6:12And Ronald Reagan was one of the individuals that fought that, as a matter of fact, Sterling Hayden, the actor from the Godfather, who played the police creep that punches Al Pacino. Right. Said that Ronald Reagan was a one man wrecking crew of the Communist Party in Hollywood. Because at a party at Eidel Lopinos House in 1946, Reagan wanted to speak, William Holden, the actor from network, but Reagan to this party, they crashed it. And they were shouting it out that they didn't want Reagan to speak. And then one actor got on the chair and said, he has a right to speak. This is America free speech. And then Reagan spoke to the gering of the crowd and everything. And they took the actor that did that to the back of the room and berated him for 40 minutes. That act related to the heart attack because of the political stress he was undergoing. And that actor was called John Garfield, a great American actor.

7:17Hey, Robert Dabby, a great American actor in his own right. Go and check out everything he does. Great singer, great actor. The film Reagan is going to be re-released for the 250th anniversary on September 25th. Go and check it out. It's going to have some parts that were not in the original. You also know, of course, Robert from Die Hard, the Goneys license to kill and a whole lot more. Let me ask you this. How did we go from 1980 when Reagan was shot, 1981, when he was shot, where he was a guy who fought communism and we almost laughed at communism. It was so beneath us. We would never let that happen here. To today, we've got a communist that's running New York City. The DSA is a communist party. It's not really the Democrat socialist of America. These are communist. You got a communist in Michigan that has a chance to win in this El Saiyed guy. How do you think that happened in about 45 years? For nearly 3,000 years, Homer's the Iliad has shaped the Western imagination. As one of the foundational works of Western literature, it explores permanent questions about honor, courage, leadership, friendship, justice, and what it means to live a noble

8:21life. In one of the epic defining moments Achilles returns to battle after the death of his beloved friend Patroclus, setting aside his wounded pride to confront the responsibilities that come with greatness. His decision reveals one of the central themes of the Iliad that true greatness requires more than strength. It demands character, sacrifice, and the pursuit of what is right. That's why Hillsdale College has released its newest free online course, The Iliad, dubbed by Professor Steven Smith. The course reveals why Homer's masterpiece remains one of the greatest works of Western literature. Hillsdale.edu slash start now. Read the classics. Study the West Hillsdale.edu slash start now. I know how it happened. You see in the 1920s, the Soviet Union and the communist infrastructure put more money into places around the world to propagate communism. They put more money into America than anywhere else, since the 1920s, to infect every aspect

9:24of our culture. In the early 1900s, Stanislavsky, one of the great American, well, great Russian artists, he was an actor who developed what they called method technique, Constantine Stanislavsky. And Stanislavsky then started the Moscow Arthurian in Russia, and it revolutionized the melodramatic aspect of acting at the time. They were brought to the Americas, and the Americans formed over that technique and that work. Stanislavsky subsequently wrote several books, affected the acting world, and the cognizant of the state of American theater and writers adapted and loved, as we all do, Stanislavsky's principles, but they then adapted and they were open to the infiltration, not of him, but of the Russian influence that was around the world at that time.

10:25And a lot of these heads became socialist, Marxists. They were Marxists. And it's interesting to trace this whole thing. What happened was also then now cut to the infected a bunch of students. So a lot of the major actors of the time were lefties, became lefties. Barbara Steinrich was a conservative, by the way. She was one of the few conservatives, as was Olivia the Havelin at the time. And the problem with in the 70s and the 60s, you had the weather underground and students for Democrats' society, well, what were they doing, Joe? They were blowing up police precincts. They were blowing up Pentagon. On their website of the Bill Lairs and Bernadette Dorne, on their website, they were recruiting things, was to get the white liberal, the white liberal, the white liberal, and the black

11:29liberation movement, the BLM of the time. This is in the 60s, 70s, and to bring down American imperialism and world communism. That was their main focus. Then they got arrested and disbanded and they then went into education. And we, and Robert, we allowed it. And that's where they got the indoctrination on our kids. That's where they got the next generations. But let's rewind to that period of time. We looked at them as the nut jobs they were. And by the way, somebody who is a Democrat is not necessarily somebody who gets along with with radical Islam. It's not necessarily somebody who gets along with the Democrats, Socialists of America, a Democrat in the 60s, of course, was a conservative person today. So how did they get such a foothold on the education? Were we asleep? How do we allow that to happen, do you think? Because there were, you see Joseph McCarthy, who was demonized.

12:34Right. In 1996, the Democrat Senator, Democrat Senator, Daniel Patrick Monahan wanted the Venomna Project to be made public. What is the Venomna Project? Well, the Soviet Union had a undecidable code. And look, communist China today is the same. You know what I'm saying? It's many elements. That's why the David Harwoods book, Unholy Alliance, and also Oriana Fowlachis book, The Force of Reason really explained the whole Islamic invasion into the countries and the danger of it. Not that we shouldn't accept, but the danger of the radicalization aspect of it that tends to suppress pre-minded individuals, just like it does in Hollywood in terms of conservatives being afraid to speak and be in canceled. So you got that going. What happened was the Venomna Project absolutely, most likely, exonerates McCarthy.

13:43And the people he figured as communist in the, because there were two aspects to it. There was the House on American Activities that was a little more white-weaching. And then you had the McCarthy hearings. Right. McCarthy hearings, the Venomna Project exonerates him and it says, like even in Roosevelt's cabinet, the head of the Treasury was a communist. The head of the New York Times was a communist. You got to realize in the 30s, there's a tremendous film that shows you what was happening with the Walter Duranty. Have you heard of him? I have not. It's a great film. Watch the film about Walter Duranty or it's Walter Durant. I think it's Walter Duranty. He was a Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times journalist in the 30s that wrote these rave reviews of Joseph Stalin in the New York Times. Until today the New York Times hasn't taken away his Pulitzer Prize or the Pulitzer Prize

14:46that's taken from him. Rave reviews, while it was uncovered that he was killing the people in the Ukraine and the farms and all the murders he was doing. There's a film about it that came out that should be like young, plain, played all over but people don't and people don't hear about it and it doesn't get promoted. We get popcorn promoted. I'm so sick on Fox News to be honest with you of the Clancy trial. I mean, it's terrible. It's heartache. But there's so much going on in this country that needs to be exposed. The Catholic Church, another Catholic Church, Joe was burnt down in America. Now who's doing it? How come there's no, please tell your governor because my governor, I don't have an access to, or President Trump. There needs to be an investigation on these churches in America that are now getting burnt down. What's going on? And nobody seems to care if it was a mosque and there's nothing I told you.

15:47I played a Palestinian. Yes. I have many, many Islamic friends that's nothing against any race or religion or anything like that. The extremist of it. But if it was a mosque, what would happen? Let's be honest. A lot of what comes out of Hollywood these days makes a mockery of America. Somehow we're the bad guys. They make a mockery of our history, our values, our faith. There's still a place telling stories, real stories that remind us what makes America, the United States worth celebrating. The place is angel studios. They're creating unapologetically patriotic films and shows, original films and shows that uplift, educate and inspire. Like sound to freedom. If you check that out, you had a powerful true story that exposed the horrors of child trafficking and inspired millions to take action. Something to stand for with Mike Roe. Have you seen this? An incredible tribute to ordinary Americans who risked everything to defend liberty and the last rodeo and upcoming heartland drama about a bull riding veteran who comes at a retirement to save his grandson. It's faith.

16:48It's grit. It's the kind of storytelling Hollywood forgot how to do. These aren't just good films. They are cultural reset buttons.

Turns out her boyfriend or so somebody a relative, somebody did it that was in this person's circle. Get the media ran with it as if lynchings are back in America and white supremacy is doing it. I don't know why that's the narrative that's acceptable.

17:48I did television news for a long time. I was a TV news anchor for a long time. I do that now commentator. But in that job, it's your job to talk about the church that got burned down, not only talk about the so called marginalized people that had something bad happen to them and who can we blame? We can blame the oppressor is for the oppressor and that's the game. But that's been the game since you mentioned FDR. It's been the game since then. I wonder if the head of the New York Times was a communist. He was your time. Stole sucks. It's still communist that paper. I'm telling you so does anybody think Joe that that hasn't stopped? Why are they still selling the agenda, Robert? I mean, the New York Times and Washington Post should not advise us on what we should talk about every day and what we should be reporting on as journalists or commentators or whatever. That's what bothers me. Do these people not realize that if the DSA takes over and keep in mind, Mamdani is the kind of Muslim that the theocracy is in Iran. He literally agrees with them religiously. He's not a Sunni. He's a shea. He believes in the theocracy. If they should take this country over, the first people they get rid of are the pride

18:52people that are supporting them, LGBTQ XYZ that are supporting them, all of the so-called Democrats who are bleeding hearts. They're all gone first. Do they not realize that? We're in the last legs of a country if we accept a Mamdani or an al-Sahed or a Phil in the blank DSA idiot AOC or Bernie Sanders. We're done. We don't wake up. Why aren't we waking up? I hadn't heard about the church burning before you said it to me and I'm in this business. I didn't even know about it. Yeah. Because the politicians, the politicians even on the right in conservative side are weak. They're weak. Extremely. Trump. One guy comes along, Trump. And who's around him? I don't know that's isolating him because this problem is something he should look at. There's a few things he should look at. And this is one of them. I know that Ron DeSantis is talking about, I don't know if it's true or not, not having Sharia Law in the in the in the in Florida. They just instituted that they had to teach a certain kind of American history, which

19:54I think is wonderful in Florida. Right. I think it's the educational secretary coming out. Why aren't we doing an agenda of America? The America first agenda and that any immigrant that doesn't start to learn English. Now I had a plan, Joe, back in the day. I wrote it on Breitbart because I've written for Breitbart many years. And I wrote a plan, I think in 2010, I met Mitch McConnell in Hollywood. I sat like him, like this with him, across from me. Right. I said, Mitch, I says, when are you guys going to tackle immigration? And I said, you got to get ahead of this. This is 2010. I said, you got to do it now. And I said, I have a plan and I wrote about it. The plan I had was at that time, any illegal immigrant that comes into the country, you give them a certain amount of time to come forward. If there's a, if there's a, if there's a, if there's a, any felony or any bad crime,

20:58they don't get, they get ousted out. Right. Who you take out, but they have to become, they have to come out of the shadows. 2010. I go, everyone that's working and doing good and the blah, blah, blah, they must now learn English. Speak to the English. No, none of this bullshit. Press five for this and six for that and seven for that. Learn English. Pledge allegiance to the United States of America and background check. And then they have to do it. For every year they've been here illegally, they must, we come up with some plan to that they do volunteer work in a retirement community, an old folks home for children, for whatever it might be. They do a certain amount of service, civil service, whether it be the, the earth core, something for the environment, whatever. Right. I'm up with something where they have to now participate for the amount of time, if it's

22:01a year or two years, if it's weekends, whatever it is, you come up with a fair plan. What do they say? What do they do? They have to react to it. What did he say? Nothing. Definitely. Definitely. What blows my mind and I want it because what you just said reminded me of my grandfather. My grandfather came over with his brothers in 1928 from, from body Italy. And when they got here, they showed that they had a skill. They were brick mason's. They had a build buildings really, really well. In fact, they built a lot, a, a big part of a certain part of Long Island. They built churches. They built post offices. They built grocery stores. They built every houses. The houses they built are still the strongest houses on the block on Waldo Street in Copag, New York. They had approved that they were bringing something. I will better the United States by you allowing my presence to be here. Why can't we do that today? What you're saying should be simple. Go clean up the park. Go, go, go paint a, you know, a public building. Go and make sure the kids are safe playing on the playground. Whatever it is, you got to do something. I mean, it used to be a long time. Even before my grandfather, you came over, joined the military.

23:02If you didn't die, you got to stay. But why aren't we doing that now? Now there is a, there is half the country about that says, not only should they stay we shouldn't force them to learn English. We shouldn't force them to understand our value system. We shouldn't tell them sure we a law doesn't comply with the Constitution. And if you do your racist or a bigot, how did that change? Because you and I are right. Yes. Well, let me think. My parents grandparents came over from Naples and Sicily at the turn of the 1900s. They had to have a sponsor, a place to stay, and they had to have some money. And the potential of a job, right? That's, and they had a physical exam when they came in at Ellis Island. Right. Now, New York, built our Italian, Jewish, Irish, German, immigrant families, built New York City. Yes. At that time, there were only a hundred Muslims in the country in New York, 100.

24:05That's it. Wow. They built New York. And when that means, didn't put little Italy on the map, I would not. Well, my man is on there. Come believe it. I went crazy. I went, I did a rant on that. It was a little too much. But we're passionate people, Robert. We're passionate. I know. But that just got me so upset because here we go again. And the people we let it, we let our politicians, how did it happen, Joe? It happens because you have this. There's another article. My son, who's not 25, who's a boy. Now you know when you go to the veterans, you pass a veteran cemetery on Memorial Day, yeah. On Fourth of July or a big holiday, there's flags in the cemetery, all the great never to laugh, ever see that. Yes. Now I never knew that the Boy Scouts did that. Now I took my son and every Boy Scout had a section and the whole cemetery.

25:07That's in Sarantory in Westwood, California when I lived there. They had to put the flag in the cemetery and they set a prayer and mentioned the military guy's name. Right. That's the respect that they told. Beautiful. Now, right now what happens is, now this is going to drive you crazy, I think. But anyway, my grandfather enlisted in World War One was critically wounded in theater three times, came back. My father, World War Two, the day after Pearl Harbor, he enlisted in Pearl Harbor in the Navy. His ship was torpedoed. He was in the ward of for three days. Wow. You got out. My father never talked about his experiences, nor did my grandfather. And my father, we had a Long Island, Dick Sills, we had a flagpole and every Memorial day, Veterans Day. My father would put on his Navy uniform and raise the American flag or half-masked it

26:11when it needed to be. That's what I grew up with, the house I live in. And today these kids don't have that imagery. They don't have that understanding. They have an understanding of this left-minded, open society that wants every single thing to be okay. And America has lost its will even among the politicians. Well, I could digress you more. I want people to understand who I'm talking to. Those who are listening to the podcast, those who see us, obviously know who you are. It's Robert Davie. Go and check out the Reagan, the director's cut. It's coming out September 25th. He's also got a great new album out that I want you to go and check out. The album is called, I'm not anyone. Robert Davies new album. Keep it America great songbook alive. I just love how you sing. You're clearly a baritone. I'm a bass. I love singing as well. I can't get as high as you can get probably. But the way you sing is beautiful.

27:12I want to make mention of something you just said. When Reagan came in, Carter ruined nationalism in this country. People hated the country. The malaise was there. The misery index was through the roof. The interest rate, the inflation, the unemployment. It was crazy. It was like the Godfather of that. And he made it worse than we've ever seen in history. Reagan comes in and says, screw you. We love America. Wave the flag. And everybody agreed up until like 9.11. We all agreed, which blows my mind. We're almost 25 years from that. And I wonder what your thoughts are on this. On 9.12, it didn't matter if you were left right. Santa didn't matter who you were. You're ethnicity was your ancestry, your race, your gender. None of that mattered. Your sexual orientation. We were all Americans. We were galvanized. Californians were New Yorkers. Texans were New Yorkers. Everybody was a New Yorker. Everybody was there because what just happened? He's an okay. They attacked us all. 25 years later, you got people in TikTok saying, when I see the American flag, I want to barf. You know what I mean? There are people who are Americans saying, it makes me think of white supremacy when I see the American flag.

28:13I have no idea who the PR person was on the Hate American campaign, but it was very, very successful. Not for you, not for my kids, not for me, not for your kids, not for my grandkids now. But there are two new generations, though we have a chance to save right now. How do we get back to how we felt when Reagan won? How do we get back to how we felt when Trump won the first time? I think we felt pretty good as a country, but the splinter got even worse. How do we correct this course that we're so far off on? Every day, there's another headline about artificial intelligence. It's moving faster than most of us ever imagined. And it raises an important question. Where is all of this headed? That's one reason I think you're going to love Carbon Zero. Carbon Zero is the latest novel from AI pioneer Craig W. Stanfield, someone who has spent years working in artificial intelligence and truly understands both its incredible potential and its very real risks. In the story, one harmless instruction to an advanced AI sets off a chain of events. No one saw coming.

29:13It's a fast-paced thriller, but what makes it especially compelling is how believable it feels. If you love stories that make you think as much as they entertain, check out Carbon Zero. Should we be scared of AI? This book paints a picture. Carbon Zero available for pre-order now. For a limited time, the Kindle edition is just $2.99. Go to Amazon and search for Carbon Zero by Craig W. Stanfield. That's Carbon Zero. Go get it at the discounted rate during pre-order time now. Carbon Zero. Well, let me bring up something you just brought up because I have eight kids. My daughter, who's 25, because it's twin, boy, girl, twin, my daughter comes home from school 10 years ago. So she was what? Well, no, more than 10. She was probably in sixth, seventh, eighth grade, ninth grade. Eighth grade, sixth, seventh grade. She says to me, dad, I'm ashamed of being white. Okay. This is what she says to me. California school now cut to 9.11 time.

30:18About a year later, dad 9.11, they showed us a video in school today that 9.11 never happened. It was really a thing. It was this. It was everything else. And you're paying for that school. Yeah, and this is my daughter. My daughter, they had me, my kids. So my kids are understanding. Right. You know what I mean? I was able to, but this is the educational system that is corrupt. Yes. It's corrupt. Excuse me for getting angry. It's corrupt and they started an early age and look at those teachers that are teaching. Most of the teachers, and I had friends of mine that were teachers that they told me what was going on there. They would tell me that we're going on in their schools with a union. The money that the union gets is so overpowering for their elections. It's crazy that the teachers get so much, let's say in California, I forget. I remember when the guy told me this, I think the budget was $9 billion. Well, six billion went to administration and other bullshit and only a certain amount

31:20went to the teachers and the kids. But there's something rotten in the educational system across this country just like, look at it. If there was a doge and they uncovered, I believe it's true. Is it true what Elon Musk uncovered with the corruption in doge? Of course. Yeah. If they did that to our educational system, if they did that state by state, this country would fry and any understanding individual. But most people are ignorant. Even the smart ones are ignorant or they want to be inclusive. It's a strange, look at Michael Savage, great guy, right? Another great guy wrote a book called, liberalism is a mental disorder. Right. And when they were trying to tell us how many genders there are, 15, 20 genders and take it away from the biblical tradition,

32:22you know there's a concerted effort, especially where I said to you, they attacked society from Hollywood, from culture. It's something that the Republicans had done about Joe. There were dummies in there because they don't understand that they have to embrace culture big time. They started recently in the last several years with angle studios and other aspects to it when they got shut out. But they have been deadbeat, where meanwhile since the beginning, the left has infiltrated films. In the 50s and 40 scripts, there were communists in the studios. Joe, that were okaying certain scripts, making sure that the other ones didn't get shown and then putting in propaganda in the scripts that did. That was a fact. That's what happened. It still happens. But we're too dumb, we're too stupid, we're too old. We are. Robert, let me actually amplify how dumb the Republicans are.

33:25John Thune is the leader of the Senate right now. John Thune from South Dakota seems like a nice guy. He looks okay, whatever. He won't do the Save America Act. Do you know it only takes half of the majority to get rid of him? So 27 senators have to say John Thune isn't getting the job done. And by the way, he's not. He won't kill the filibuster. He won't do the Save America Act. He won't do anything that we want or the president wants. 27 senators is all it takes. As they're out there hockin their books and as they're out there running for reelection, why aren't they getting together and saying here are 27 of us. John, you're out. Let's put in fill in the blank guy. Could be Mike Lee from Utah. Could be Rick Scott from Florida. Could be Ted Cruz from here in Texas. Why won't they do this? Because it's all one freaking party. Robert, that's what it is. I've gone and said it a long time ago. It's one big club in Uain. It is. That's what it's called. And that's what they do. They go there and DC and they backslap and they do this and they do that. It's very rarely. And then the ones that do speak out get totally demonized and ostracized and put aside.

34:27So they're afraid to do the same thing. Because they're figuring, you know, look at it. I love Frank Capra films, man. People should watch. I've said Capra should be a, he should be required watching in schools. Meet John Doe. Mr. Smith goes to Washington. Right. He's a local state of the union with Spencer Tracy. Even though there was some lefty ideas that because Spencer Tracy was a lefty, they put in that film. But it's a great indictment on and really explores the political system and shows the every man deeply. And this is in the 40s those films. And so it's a, it's a. They're weak. They're corrupt. And it's a club that we're not in. And they don't care about us. Why isn't somebody saying, hey, Thun, who's his backer? Why is Thun like given a past? Why I have no idea. America act. Why can he do that? It's easy. It just means you have to show who you are when you vote.

35:28You have to just prove that you are a citizen before you register. What it is so easy that my 10 year old is like, hey, dad, why don't they do in the same America act? They're not doing it because they actually said it. Carling said, it's a big club and we're not in it. And they keep acting like they're on opposing sides. And they're not. I mean, think about this. You mentioned Mitch McConnell before. I have no idea if the guys alive. We're not allowed to know if he's even okay. And he's the former Senate Majority Leader. The people in Kentucky don't have a vote right now. They claim to, I've had a 20 minute conversation with him. You couldn't press FaceTime to prove that he's even with us. So I mean, it is a game. And then President Trump is probably getting frustrated by this game because he can't just tell them do it and they do it. He says it every day. Get rid of the filibuster. So and so forth. But let me finish on education here. Robert, you got to promise you'll come back again. We could do like five hours to be honest. And I appreciate you giving me so much time. No, please go ahead. One thing I wanted to bring. But we'll go ahead. Please. I wanted to say this last. I wanted to say this about the Department of Education. It's 60, 50, 60, 70 billion dollars a year. It is a centralized government run educational system

36:31that is not in the Constitution. It should not exist. There should be no Department of Education. You and your local community, me and my local community, we should be setting what the agenda is. In schools that we pay for, we're not. We're telling remember when Obama was in. They were singing. Mm-mm, mm-mm. Barack Hussein Obama. They were sending out things from the Department of Education from Arnie Duncan, who is his secretary. And it said, what can I do for my president today? Screw you. I don't have a dictator. I'm not going to do anything for my president today. So we have to either get rid of it or realize we're doomed. And now the president Trump has said, get rid of it. The DOE started when under Jimmy Carter. It's not that freaking old. Just get rid of it now. And give the money back to the states. Go ahead. Yeah, well, going along with that, they say, all politics is local. Well, let's start with HOAs. I never had an HOA community. Right. But they're corrupt. They're corrupt. Just like our offices. And if you look at the HOA, what they're doing there, and then you go into the commissioners of your community,

37:33and then you go into the statewide government, and then the nationwide government. It's all corrupt. Human beings are corrupt. Human beings don't really care about their own individual interests. Instead of the overall welling of the total community, not just small pockets of a community, but the total community. So what happens in Washington DC, like even here, in the Senate of Telehassy, the Congress passed the HOA bill whereby a homeowners can have a government oversight of their HOA. They pass unanimously, but it's being held up in the Senate. Why? That's Republican run. By the way, it's Republican run. Why would they hold the Senate? Why, and I can't even get a hold of the status about it. The status, you know, since there's office at call this, and they're, they're ineffectual, but they did the bill, the sky did the bill, but there's nobody passing it in the Senate.

38:34And you talk to them, the same look I got from McConnell. And it's gonna blow up because over 70 million people have HOAs. Right. 70 million. That's a quarter one. That's crazy. Right. And there's no, there's no oversight. They could do what they want, and they do their corruptors. But I got, well, Robert, I gotta be honest, that you wanna, Mitch McConnell didn't say anything. He might have been asleep. I'll be honest with you. It's Robert Dauvin, go check him out. Any movie he does, any album he puts out, you'll see the director's cut of Reagan, at least 10 minutes, maybe more, extra content. You did not see the first time. Go get his album called, I'm not anyone. When you and I get together in person, Robert, do me a favor, we have to sing together in person sometime. I would love to do that. I know, I know, I know, I would be great, you know. I have a, I have a season four of Tulsi King coming out, with Stallone. Beautiful. And I, and I just did a film with John Travolta in musical. It's a musical film? No, no, no, I didn't, I didn't Tulsi King.

39:37Right. But I did. Musical film, yes, which Travolta called, that's a moray. How amazing is that? I can't wait to see that. Which, just give me the premise, what is that? The premise is I'm Danny Amore, I own a nightclub. I'm a singer. I love it. And I had a big shot and I gave up my career for my family. And John has a family in a pizzeria. And he falls in love with my daughter, played by Mary Savino. And Green Book, the writer of Green Book wrote this thing, who he won two Academy Awards for that. So I'm hoping that's a terrific film. The script was great. We had a great time singing and I sing one song and John sings and dances for the first time in many years. Oh, wow. But it's going to be, I think it's going to be a great, great film. And Joe, it's really an homage to the Italian American and the romance of that era when you had films that were musical and full of heart, family and soul.

40:39I love it. I can't wait. When is that coming out, do you know? No, they're editing now. Should be finished editing soon. And then hopefully we'll know when their release dates are. They do this stuff. And Tulsa King starts the end of September, October, down on plus. Beautiful. Robert, I can't tell you how much I love having you on. It's an honor to talk to you. We got to hang out in person at some point in our lives. Just have a kick and ask, kick and ask and take a name. Every movie, every show, every, every series with Tulsa King. Can't wait to see the new one. That's a more a and also get the album called I'm not anyone. It's Robert Dobby. Robert, thanks a million. God bless you, Joe, and all your listeners. God bless you. Thank you so much. That's it for this one. We'll drop another unshaken, not afraid with Joe Pag soon. Stay right here. What happens when faith and mental health meet for real? What's up?
