Proceeding with this statement, Rob told a story of British Air Force pilots. Rob said, “during World War II, a group of Air Force pilots went to a chaplain and asked him why should we do it. Why should we get up tomorrow and fly when so many of our friends have already been shot down and died? Why should we even do this?”
Schneider further added, “The chaplain replied that humanity has come out of dark ages. We have come out of where people burned at the stake, people believe and go along with this, and there is darkness, and we have come out of it and doing more of a lighting period. This war is a step back into the darkest part of humanity, and right now, we need to stand up for that.”
Further, when Newsweek asked Rob Schneider about his appearance in Beck’s interview. He said, “I prioritize supporting a country that provides the same freedoms for my children that made my career possible. This legacy to me is more important than the next chapter of my career.”
Gina Carano, a famous American actress, former mixed martial artist, and a vocal opponent of Covid-19 vaccines and masks, supported Rob for his statement. She reshared Schneider’s video and wrote, “I’ll fly with you.”
On the other hand, some renowned names such as Farron Cousins, Krister Johnson, and Jesse Hawken tried to mock the veteran SNL member.
Farron tweeted, “Rob saying he doesn’t care about his career is like me saying I don’t care if I get fat – It happened long ago.”

A short video uploaded by Beck on his Twitter account that contains Schneider’s remarks has crossed over 1.8 million views, and people have mixed opinions about it.
Some Twitter users tried to ridicule Rob for his statement saying, “Pretty sure his career has been dead for a long time anyway.”
Another user wrote, “it’s not easy to worry about your career when you don’t have one.”
Another user gave a reference to Rob’s film The Hot Chick, saying, “Oh come on. All of western civilization is breathlessly awaiting The Hot Chick 2 to be released.”
While many Twitter users mocked Schneider for his remarks, some also supported the actor.
One user wrote, “It’s nice to see that a Hollywood actor is standing on the right side of history.”
Another Twitter user said, “Thank you for being one of the good guys! You 100% have my support, and I will include you in my prayers. God knows where our hearts truly are.”
Robert Explained What He Thinks Where “SNL” Lost Its Way
Besides that statement, Rob Schneider in that interview, also opened up and talked about the moment he thought that SNL was over.
Robert said, “When Kate McKinnon went out there on “Saturday Night Live” dressed as her (Hillary Clinton) and started singing ‘Hallelujah,’ I literally prayed, please have a joke at the end. Don’t do this; please don’t go down there. Sadly, there was no joke at the end, and I felt it’s over. It’s over; it’s not going to come back. It’s gone.”
Here, Rob was talking about SNL’s 2016 sketch video where Kate McKinnon played the role of Clinton. That video received well over 13 million views on YouTube.
Schneider was a part of SNL and worked with them between 1990-94. However, he also has been openly criticizing the show. In 2018, he criticized Alec Baldwin’s performance when he played Donald Trump. Rob compared Alec’s performance with Dana Carvey’s impression of George W. Bush.
Rob said, “To me, the genius of Dana Carvey was Dana always had empathy for the people he played, and Alec Baldwin has nothing but a fuming, seething anger toward the person he plays.”
