Dukes of Hazard Star John Schneider taking his talents to the big screen in a brand new movie celebrating patriotism in one man's fight to fly Old Glory seems normal right but the 70s TV sensation says woke Hollywood refused to fund or help distribute the film because of its pro-america message John Schneider joins us now John great to have you on the show this morning good morning thank you for having me I appreciate it I certainly do so before we get into the way Hollywood responded to your movie I mean I was fascinated to find out
so this is based on a true story I was uh I toured with music a lot and last year I was uh in New Mexico I believe and I read a story about a man who went to jail rather than adhere to a restraining order keeping him from driving within 300 yards of the local high school with the American flag on the back of his truck and uh I've written for a long time I wrote the last episode of Dukes of Hazzard hopefully that's not why it was the last episode but it inspired me to
jump into this character and build a character who was a veteran who understands sacrifice who understands a willingness to potentially die for his country and who does not understand under any circumstances why young people are being applauded for disrespecting our flag at sporting events so I I went there um not surprised that Hollywood wouldn't have anything to do with it I mean I mean I recognize that that uh logical patriotic thought is the enemy to woke Hollywood um so I do need to clarify that a little bit I didn't go to them hoping that they
would help me because I don't I quit 11 years ago and and you know I took my my toys out of my sandbox and created my own sandbox well and uh it's wonderful we get great response from this film first of all I love the analogy I took the toys out of my my sandbox I created my own sandbox we talk a lot about that on this show how the answer is not to keep complaining about what the wokesters are doing in Hollywood and how we need to create our own culture we have a culture
um and it is yeah absolutely how important was it for you to make this film especially on the heels of covid and all the sort of restrictions we had then well that was one of the things that fueled it as well as soon as we started to give up our our right of free assembly I went on my YouTube channel and said you know these rights are very people died for us to have them they're very easy to give up they're very difficult to get back so that was one of the things that fueled this
and by the way Hollywood what they don't want anyone to know is that all they are is a line item on some globalist billionaire spreadsheet okay that's all they are they owed their sold to The Company Store as well as do all of these woke celebrities they don't do that because they care they do that because that's what's paying for their mortgages right okay well these people don't and and if I may that's the difference we care about our country we love it and we are willing to die for it to dieformovie.com or to die
for DVD thank you thank you so much John great to have you on the show this morning yeah we're big fans and you're still looking good I'm just gonna say it
