Dukes of Hazzard star John Schneider said “woke nonsense” is threatening American values.
Schneider told Newsmax host Chris Salcedo that he was inspired to write his upcoming film To Die For to push back against liberal ideologies.
“People are afraid to go [against woke culture],” Schneider said. “I don’t understand that. I don’t understand why conservatives are timid when it comes to this. My belief is that you can only be pushed so far, and they have pushed us so far that we have got to do something.”

As a result, Schneider said he is using his tool of storytelling. He said To Die For is based on a real story “about a gentleman who defied a restraining order that said he couldn’t drive within 300 yards of a local high school with the American flag on the back of his truck, but he did it anyway, and he went to jail.”
Schneider noted that Hollywood would not touch the film.
“Oh my gosh!” Schneider said. “[Hollywood] wouldn’t spend any money to develop it. They certainly wouldn’t film it, they wouldn’t distribute it, but my wife and I are fiercely and unapologetically independent. So, we make our own content. We also distribute our own content.”
“Right now we are all in,” Schneider added. “If this movie doesn’t work, we lose everything, but we’ve always been there. You know, I believe, if you’re not all in, you’re out.”
