During his appearance on the podcast “American Thought Leaders,” actor Rob Schneider spoke openly about what he thinks of Hollywood’s “rot,” referring to an alleged blacklist for conservative celebrities.
The actor from “The Benchwarmers” said in his interview that when he began to speak about his right-leaning political views, his acting opportunities disappeared.
“Speaking the truth in an era of authoritarianism, in an era of lies, is a courageous act,” he continued. “And I’m not saying that I am courageous,” Rob Schneider confessed.
“When I think of true courage, I think of any big city, the cemeteries of people who gave what Lincoln describes as the ultimate full measure of their devotion to this great land,” he concluded.

“This is sacrifice. I mean, the fact that I will never do ‘Deuce Bigalow’ 4, 5, and 6, I think that’s fine,” he joked, laughing at the comparisons.
Rob Schneider also stated that show business “doesn’t want any controversy,” even though he doesn’t agree with that view.
“But I truly believe that, at some point, if we are going to have a society, and if we are going to continue to have a free society, it will require people to stand up and be courageous.”
