Richard Dreyfuss Tells Glenn Beck Why
He Gave up Acting for Something He Loved

One thing that’s rare to see in Hollywood is honesty. When we see it, it tends to touch us. We saw that in the acceptance speech of Ke Huy Quan when he won Best Supporting Actor in a Musical or Comedy at the Golden Globes. We saw it from Brendan Fraser at the Critics Choice Awards. They were both so grateful and happy that after a long time “in the wilderness,” they were given a chance to act again and prove themselves in the roles in which they shined. But Richard Dreyfuss is showing us something else again with his quest. Maybe that’s because even though he worked in Hollywood,

Comments:

May he succeed in his quest.

Then there's the "other" Richard Dreyfuss........ May 29, 2016 "The Oscar-winning actor said Trump's everyday supporters are "struggling," which he said was sad, but "it's Donald Trump's celebrity supporters who are whores."

Somehow, I'm not convinced. Look at his background. Wild young actor. Drug abuser. Conscientious objector. Lifelong liberal. Now, suddenly, he's seen the light. Just about the time when he couldn't get any more movie roles......

This is a good story but I'll believe it when I see some real transition to conservative views. Until then he's just another Hollywood lefty making rumblings about how he loves America.

I'm sure he expands on what he means by "teach them the Constitution and civics" in the interview with Beck, but I wish the writer of this piece would've have expanded on that as I sincerely doubt that I'll watch the interview and honestly, what I recall of Dreyfuss is that he is pretty far Left. I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but let's not forget, Howard Zinn claimed his books contained "real U.S. history" and that he was teaching civics...look where that got us.

Years ago, when my daughter was in the 8th grade, her civics class was the hardest class she took. The next year, Civics was gone and in its place was Social Studies. After that came Middle School concept and the dumbing down of students. My daughter became a doctor and has two very bright children. As bright as they are, I don't think either one has studied Civics and that is a crime.

I think that #23 nailed it. He’s a classic liberal, not a leftist, but also a patriot and sees where we’re headed. The fact that he went on the Glenn Beck show to be interviewed tells you something right off the bat. And he’s right. May I remind you doubters that Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump were both democrats before they saw the light and look what they turned out to be.

FTA - "Dreyfuss said, “I’d given up something I loved, and had loved since I was nine years old [acting], only for something else I loved as much — which was saving my country. And I firmly believe if we don’t revive the study of civics, we will be dead before 2050.”" Ok, Richard. Help us fix this, then. For starters, get to some school board meetings and raise holy hell about this matter - everywhere. And see what kind of a response you get.

I have seen a number of interviews with Richard Dreyfuss and he is definitely a liberal. However, he isn't a normal liberal. He can give a reason for the things he believes, he will listen to opposing viewpoints and even concede a point when reasoned with. I don't have any trouble believing he is sincere with is stated goals. I remember when Charlton Heston passed away. He had some very nice things to say about him, even though they didn't see eye to eye on everything political. I wish him good luck and agree with him that lack of understanding of our founding is an underlying root cause of a lot of our problems with our government today.

Even Charlton Heston called Dreyfus a “first-class thinker”. Well back in the early 2000s, when Mr. Heston was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and such luminaries as George Clooney we’re making remarks because of the NRA connection, Dreyfus wrote a wonderful tribute in, of all publications, National Review. I may not agree with Mr. Dreyfus’ politics, but I agree wholeheartedly with his message here. Good for him.

Trump Takes Credit for Getting FEMA to

The environmental disaster in East Palestine, Ohio, was bizarrely ignored by the Biden administration for weeks. Gov. Mike DeWine reportedly had repeatedly requested assistance from FEMA, but those requests were denied. However, on Friday, Donald Trump announced his intention to visit East Palestine the following week, and within two hours, it was announced that FEMA would, in fact, come to assist the people of East Palestine. “FEMA and the State of Ohio have been in constant contact regarding emergency operations in East Palestine. U.S. EPA and Ohio EPA have been working together since day one,” Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine and FEMA regional administrator Thomas Sivak said in a joint statement.

Two years ago today, Feb. 17, Rush Limbaugh passed away. It is undeniable that he left a gaping hole that no one else can fill; he invented a new kind of conservative media, and he certainly did it best. Rush Limbaugh had a genius for talk radio, and part of that genius was that many people who never even met him felt that when he died, they lost a friend. But I think the best way to remember Limbaugh is by letting him speak for himself, so I want to share a few of the most memorable quotes from the “Mayor of Realville,”

One of the most diabolically clever notions the Left has ever devised in order to advance its Marxist agenda has been “systemic racism.” Systemic racism is everywhere and nowhere, requires no evidence of actual discrimination in order to make its case, and will result, if followed to its logical conclusion, in the implementation of an unlimited number of wealth confiscation and redistribution schemes. It’s so useful that “experts” keep finding it in more and more places, and absurdity is no bar for how low they will go. Their audience, after all, is Leftists, who are already accustomed to swallowing absurd claims on an industrial scale.

If you’re going to continue reading, consider yourself forewarned: It gets far crazier than the headline suggests. Let’s begin with the left’s latest insane notion: restoring sight to the blind is yet another example of ableism — the discrimination of and social prejudice against people with disabilities based on the belief that typical abilities are superior — and moreover, disabilities “need no cure.” See what I mean? As RedState reported earlier this month, Jimmy Donaldson, more popularly known as “MrBeast,” posted a video to his YouTube channel about how he helped “cure” the blindness of 1,000 people by providing them with free cataract surgery. Donaldson was promptly both praised and skewered,

Tsay was working at a dance social at Lai Lai Ballroom & Studio when he came face-to-face with the gunman, who had already killed people at another ballroom in the area. “Two weeks ago, during Lunar New Year celebrations, he [Tsay] heard the studio’s front door close

The average person can’t describe the daily responsibilities of the secretary of transportation or even name the figure who holds that position — until our transportation infrastructure fails, that is. As far as cushy political appointments go, it’s on the thankless end of the spectrum. At least that was the case before Pete Buttigieg ascended to the role in 2021. Now the secretary of transportation is both a political celebrity and someone immune to meaningful criticism over our country’s transportation failures — and there have been many.Though the left rarely misses an opportunity to announce that “the adults are back in charge,” Buttigieg’s failures suggest otherwise.

“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings.

Their preferred stalking horse in their pursuit of egalitarian misery is the specter of a climate apocalypse. Since the apocalypse, in their telling, is gonna be, well, apocalyptic, that means the defense against it must be just as all-embracing. And just as the defense against the real Nazi apocalypse bankrupted the British Empire, so, too, they are content to bankrupt America in the pursuit of a cause they believe has equal urgency.

President Joe Biden could wait up to a whole year before beginning his re-election campaign should he decide to run for a second term in 2024.  According to a new report, Biden will follow the “Obama model,” in which former President Barack Obama didn’t start campaigning until 13 months after announcing his re-election run.  “Obama went 13 months after the announcement to start campaigning,” NBC News’s Peter Alexander said during an interview on “Meet the Press.” “[Biden] could make an announcement in April and wait until next year to get on the trail.”
