Rob Schneider's Wild Journey From Trump Voter to Medical Student Miss USA Judge to Meeting Paul McCartney

Rob Schneider shares unfiltered stories about voting for Trump in 2016, his complicated history with Donald Trump spanning decades, judging the Miss USA Pageant, surviving the pandemic, getting a vasectomy, being blackballed by pharmaceutical industries, and accidentally giving Paul McCartney COVID. From appearing in Home Alone 2 to insulting Trump on The Tonight Show to directing movies in Mexico, Schneider delivers raw comedy about political awakening, medical procedures gone wrong, and the absurdity of cancel culture. His wife went from threatening to leave him over his Trump vote to voting for Trump herself four years later.

Voting for Trump and Hollywood Consequences

Rob Schneider opens up about his decision to vote for Trump in 2016 while living in California, joking about the multiple ballots mailed to residents. His connection to Trump goes back decades to when he appeared in Home Alone 2, filmed at Trump's hotel. Schneider explains they only included Trump in the movie because he owned the hotel and kept walking in front of the camera, figuring if they put him in the scene, he would leave them alone.

Years before Trump's presidential run, Schneider appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno alongside Trump. Despite initially wanting to avoid controversy, Leno pressured him into telling a joke about Trump, saying the difference between them was that his daddy didn't give him $40 million to get started. Trump's immediate reaction was to insist it wasn't true, calling Schneider a liar repeatedly.

The Miss USA Pageant and Trump's Expectations

Several years after the Leno incident, Schneider went through a divorce and was severely depressed. His publicist convinced him to leave his house for an event, which turned out to be the Miss USA Pageant, owned by Donald Trump. Schneider arrived to discover he was listed as a judge, with no prior knowledge of what he was signing up for.

Trump entered the backstage area and told the judges to vote for whoever they wanted, but then strongly suggested they should vote for the blonde from Texas with big breasts if they loved their country and wanted America to win Miss Universe. However, when the judges met the contestants, they encountered a woman who had one year left of medical school and needed the $100,000 prize money to pay for her education. The judges decided to vote for her instead of Trump's preferred candidate.

Trump was furious with the results, telling Schneider he didn't love his country and calling him a loser repeatedly, insisting they would now lose to China. When Schneider apologized for both the outcome and the old Leno joke, Trump claimed he didn't remember the joke at first, then after hearing it again, said he hated Schneider.

Political Awakening During the Pandemic

When Schneider voted for Trump in 2016, his Mexican wife was furious, telling him that voting for Trump made him racist too and that she would never look at him the same way again. However, four years later, his wife shocked him by announcing she was voting for Trump herself. Schneider jokes about the selective nature of the pandemic virus, noting how people could die from going to the gym, getting haircuts, or attending church, but were safe shopping at Target or Walmart, and how sitting down at restaurants protected people while standing up was deadly.

He expresses his belief that people are still recovering from what he calls post traumatic scam-demic syndrome. During the height of uncertainty about the pandemic, Schneider notes that the Pentagon released actual footage of unidentified flying objects for the first time, admitting UFOs are real and aliens exist, yet nobody cared because everyone was focused on finding toilet paper.

The Vasectomy Experience

Schneider's wife convinced him to get a vasectomy during the pandemic when he had time off from making movies. He emphasizes it's a more simple operation for men than women getting their tubes tied, though he jokes it's technically her job. The procedure required another man to have his hands on his genitals for an hour, which he found uncomfortable.

A friend who was chief of surgery in Milwaukee performed the procedure. The doctor picked Schneider up at the airport and drove him straight to the surgical room. After administering numbing cream and a shot between his testicles, the doctor severed and soldered the vas deferens veins, causing Schneider to smell his own flesh burning. The doctor explained he was preventing Schneider's swimmers from reaching their destination, though the body would reabsorb most of them.

The doctor used surgical glue to close the incision to prevent unattractive scars, then covered it with thick gauze so it would feel like his genitals were in a bird's nest for the flight home. When Schneider's wife saw the small scar, she mocked him for complaining about the procedure, comparing it to her experience giving birth to two human beings. Against the doctor's advice, Schneider's wife insisted he use tea tree oil instead of fingernail polish remover to remove the gauze, which melted the surgical glue and caused complications.

Cancel Culture and Pharmaceutical Industry Backlash

Schneider reveals he has been blackballed by pharmaceutical industries and they tried to cancel him, but he credits his audience for making it impossible for them to succeed. Despite the pressure, he was able to make a movie called Daddy Daughter Trip, his first starring role in years. He wrote the film with his wife Patricia and Jamie Lissow, who appears on Gutfeld.

The production had enough budget to consider buying a song from Paul McCartney, though at $600,000 for one song, it would have consumed a tenth of the entire movie budget, making McCartney the most expensive artist in the world for licensing music. After purchasing the song, Schneider contacted McCartney's manager asking if he could meet the legendary musician when he performed in Texas.

Meeting Paul McCartney While Sick

While directing a movie his wife wrote in Mexico for Paramount Plus, Schneider contracted COVID, joking that he got it because everyone around him was vaccinated. After recovering, he flew to Arizona and then took his nine-year-old daughter Miranda, who starred in Daddy Daughter Trip, to see Paul McCartney in concert. On the plane, his daughter came down with COVID as well.

Despite his daughter feeling ill and wanting to go to the hotel, Schneider kept her at the concert, reasoning that music makes people feel better when they're sick. During the Live and Let Die fireworks, he received a text that Sir Paul would meet him 20 minutes after the performance. Schneider panicked, realizing he couldn't be the person who killed Paul McCartney and got enough bad press already.

McCartney came into the room alone and was surprisingly tall. He told Schneider he liked the movie, clarifying he only watched the part with his song to make sure it wasn't garbage. When McCartney asked who was behind Schneider, his daughter announced she had COVID. Schneider awkwardly tried to rationalize the situation by pointing out that McCartney was 80, which was a solid age, equivalent to two John Lennons, referencing McCartney's own song Live and Let Die.
