Few chapters of American history have been as divisive as what we’re living through today.

Stories of partisan infighting between friends and family have become commonplace, destroying relationships that are meant to transcend our political system.

Actor and filmmaker Rob Schneider knows what that’s like. As one of the few conservatives in Hollywood, he has lost legitimate friends over his political views. They’ve even caused a very public rift with his daughter, Grammy-winner Elle King.

But he’s not backing down. America, he says, is too important. Schneider joined today’s Tucker Carlson Show to discuss being blacklisted over politics, his unconditional love for his daughter, his journey to God, the upcoming election, and more.

Rob Schneider tells Tucker:

“[Hollywood] is insulated. You can stay in your political ecochamber. You can absolutely avoid any questioning of your belief systems… When you get to that belief system and start to question [it], people get angry.”
