He felt tyranny was coming from the left, especially after Obama allowed governmental agencies to have propaganda against Americans in 2013. He also wanted to protect his young kids from the declining quality of life in California due to public school issues and safety concerns.
He criticizes their censorship and silencing of Americans' First Amendment rights, their attempt to move towards a one-party system like California, and their elitist attitude towards average Americans struggling with basic issues like safety and inflation.
He believes Hollywood has contributed to a rebellion against moral values by insisting that traditional churchgoing and culture are bad, pushing a woke agenda that alienates many Americans, and failing to address real issues like safety and economic struggles.
He thinks comedy will eventually correct itself as people seek normalcy and want to laugh again, similar to post-Watergate and post-Vietnam eras. He also believes that comedians should focus on the truth and what the audience finds funny, rather than trying to indoctrinate with woke nonsense.
He believes it will take another generation for conservatives to feel comfortable coming out in Hollywood. He also thinks that the traditional studio system is shrinking due to their woke agenda, creating opportunities for independent producers to take risks and provide content that resonates with a broader audience.
He describes it as a freeing experience where he felt a rush of freedom, similar to a Japanese pilot who survived a crash and became a Zen Buddhist monk. This emboldened him to speak his mind without fear and helped him reconnect with his comedic roots.
He is starting a media company with partners from England, including Andrew Doyle and Graham Linehan, to produce content that is rational, logical, and aligned with American values. He is also focusing on his stand-up comedy tour, which he finds educational and fun as it allows him to connect with the audience directly.
He believes getting rid of the Department of Education is a phenomenally important first gesture because it would prevent the federal government from controlling local school boards and allow states and parents to decide on education policies. This would be a critical turning point in American history.
