I'm so glad you're here. Kind of cool, I had a chance to catch up with Kelsey Grammer. He's got a brand new series. It's called Historic Battles for America.
It's available now on Fox Nation. And this guy is extremely patriotic. He wanted to be part of this project, and he did.
He's had a chance to do something you're not doing in school as much anymore. And that is going over great moments in American history. If you look at the 1619 project, you think there were none. If you listen to most in the media, there are none. But that's not the case at Fox.
Certainly not the case on Fox Nation. I got the series What Makes America Great. So here's a little of my interview with Kelsey Grammer. People look at you in different roles, and they'll say, okay, that's Frasier. He's from Cheers. He's from the stage. I've watched him on stage. I've watched him as an actor. Do you want people to look at you and say, that's the historian. That's the guy that's passionate about the country. Is that what you hope for?
It would be fine. You know, I mean, you hope for a voice that is individual and heard, and hopefully this is something I can pass on. I promise no one a bunch of garbage. I promise every person listens to me the truth, and that's what I'm going to try to do always.
I have no interest in anything else. And if people are interested and they pay attention, they'll get the straight story. So, Kelsey, the other thing is there's pushback, and I found it, too. When you go out and people start talking about the 1619 project and the governor of New York says things like, America was never that great. What has happened over the last five or six years since that New York Times project came out?
That really made me sad. That was Governor Cuomo when he said that, and I just thought, are you kidding? And when he said, I'm undocumented, well, I knew his uncle personally, who was a judge.
There were plenty of documentation in that family, and he was a wonderful guy. So, I mean, it's all cartoonish politics is what the problem is. Exaggeration after exaggeration in order to influence opinion, and hopefully people won't check. I really do think that, honestly, that most politicians at this point assume, oh, they'll just buy what I'm selling them.
So I just think they got to stop. But back to your question again. America has had some challenging moments in its execution. You know, how we got there. But there has been never, there has never been a greater dream. There has never been a greater government set in motion, at least, than the one that said we're going to guarantee individual freedoms.
That is our mission. And then when you watch what's happening in Ukraine today and you realize what they're fighting for, even for a growing democracy with its problems and hiccups, they want the ability to vote on it. And they're being steamrolled and they're fighting back for that idea. Do you think this gives America a chance to recalibrate? Hey, wait a second, guys, what we're taking for granted here.
They're actually dying for it. It only gives us a chance if there are not enough people on the wisdom spectrum. You know, there is wisdom in the voices that teach us. Those people may actually end up making an impact on our sense of freedom, our understanding of freedom, because what they're going through right now is an extraordinary fight. And look, once again, there are arguments on both sides. I know some Ukrainians and I know some Russians.
And along that eastern corridor there, that edge of the border, there was always some real conflict. Whether or not it was initiated by the Ukrainians, I don't know. But what Mr. Putin has done is overwhelming and staggering.
There's no way anybody with a rational brain can look at it and think, oh, yeah, that's the right idea. Now, it's evil personified. It is modern day Stalin and Hitler, what he's doing. And he can't beat the army, so he's trying to kill the civilians. I never thought we'd see this with a modern army. I've seen a lot of weird things lately. I mean, honestly, the whole lockdown thing, there was a group of people in our country that were willing to look at another group of people and say, well, then, if you don't do what I tell you, you should go to a camp. And I thought, well, that gang is on the wrong side of history.
I would think so. If you're Shanghai, one of 25 million locked down with asymptomatic of a sub-variant, I would think that's a little bit of bitterness. Weirdest thing in the world. I know. A couple of things. I saw that in the past you've talked about running for Congress or something. Are you still thinking about that?
No, not anymore. I've sort of put it aside. It's so dirty now and so personal. I mean, of course, I've got a family and I want my family to be okay. They're bound to say some things that would hurt them.
I want to do what I can to help my country be the best country it can be, and I think it is the best country. It's no longer a calling for me. Well, two of my favorite people.

Looking back at your series, Frasier, which ironically I was being, I was out in California at the time. I'm being toured through and they go, I know you guys know Cheers is coming to an end. Would you see that set in the corner? That's going to be Kelsey Grammer's going to get his own series called Frasier. And you hadn't even started it yet. And I just thought, wow, I wonder if this spinoff is going to work.
Well, the answer is yes. But here's Gary Sinise calling into your radio show host so I can relate to you. Here's Gary Sinise calling into your show.
Hello, Dr. Crane. I have a terrible fear of talking on the phone to people I do not know. I freeze up.
It is a severe handicap in today's fast-paced, highly competitive world. Are you reading what you're saying? You had celebrities call into your show. That's pretty funny. They called in a lot. I forgot that Gary called. I just got a text from him.
We're going to do a celebration of the Sinise Foundation in Nashville. He's just moved. Yeah, we had him on today. That's a funny thing. Right. Well, you were part of it. Do you remember those days fondly or was it just a lot of work? I remember it very fondly.
It was the best work of my life. Listen, I've been blessed. I got to do what I love to do for a long time.
There was a time when I was waiting tables when I thought this was never going to work. But I got over that hump and things turned out okay. I have a wonderful life and a wonderful family and a great career.
Honestly, I have nothing to complain about. I'm here to do my best to serve the people. I still believe in that. I still believe in entertainment based upon doing it.
All this stuff, that's what I'm trying to do now. Kelsey, now you have a chance to be part of the Fox family. We appreciate it. The award winning actor, producer, director and has a brand new series host of Kelsey Grammer's Historic Battles for America available now on Fox Nation.
You will love it. No one delivers like Kelsey because it comes from the heart because he bleeds red, white and blue. Kelsey, thanks so much for joining me. That's right. I'll talk to you. I'll see you in the lunchroom. Thank you.
