Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Dennis Quaid about his long Hollywood career and the changes in the film industry; his concern over the decline of fun, original movies; why studios now focus on fewer films, often with dark themes or political agendas, unlike the diverse content of past decades; the history of politics in Hollywood, like Ronald Reagan's anti-communism efforts; his political views, his support for Trump, and how it has impacted his career in Hollywood; how sharing political his opinions has become risky, and has led to attempts to cancel him; why he felt compelled to speak out in this election; the diminishing mystery around actors due to social media; his connection to Ronald Reagan, which inspired him to take on the role in the upcoming biopic “Reagan”; the recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump and how it recalls Reagan's 1981 attempt; the national trauma from past assassinations; his portrayal of Ronald Reagan and his commitment to showing Reagan's humanity; how Reagan's ability to compromise, exemplified by his relationship with Tip O'Neill, is a model of unity and cooperation for politicians today; and much more.
