Actor and comedian Rob Schneider told country music star Garth Brooks this week that he should “just shut up” after finding himself embroiled in controversy after indicating that he will offer Bud Light at his bar when it opens later this summer.

During Brooks’ recent appearance on Billboard’s Country Live in Conversation, he appeared to take a shot at other country music artists who own bars, but are refusing to sell Bud Light over its decision earlier this year to have a paid marketing engagement with a controversial transgender influencer.

“Yes, we’re going to serve every brand of beer,” the singer said. “We just are. It’s not our decision to make. If you come into this house, love one another. If you’re an a**hole, there are plenty of other places on lower Broadway.”

“In my existence, one a**hole can turn the whole tide down there,” he added. “My thing is, let’s create a place that you feel safe in.”

Brooks later doubled down on his remarks, saying that inclusivity and diversity are what describes him.

“I get it, everyone’s got their opinions,” Brooks said. “But inclusiveness is always going to be me. I think diversity is the answer to the problems that are here. And the answer to the problems that are coming.”

Schneider told Fox Nation’s “Woke Up in America” that he thinks Brooks needs to be quiet and stay out of the drama in the future.

“I think next time, he’s going to stay out of it, isn’t he? I think Garth Brooks, next time, is going to shut his mouth, and he’s going to pretend like ‘I don’t have anything to do with what beer is chosen in my restaurant,’” Schneider said. “I think the culture is in a very weird little place of hypersensitivity one way or the other. And I think that’s why most people shut their mouths.”

Schneider said that it is a good business practice for famous people like Brooks not to get too involved with business operations so that they don’t have to take heat if a situation blows up like this.

“I mean, just from a business standpoint, just shut up, say I have nothing to do with it,” he said.

Former President Donald Trump pushed back on claims that he rips on a lot of top people who he hired in his administration by saying that for every one bad example there is, there are ten good examples.

Trump made the remarks in response to a question from Fox News anchor Bret Baier, who noted that Trump said in 2016 that he was going to “surround myself with only the best and most serious people.”

“Well, I did do that,” Trump told Baier. “That’s tremendous. Look, we had the best economy we’ve ever had, the world has ever seen.”

Baier responded:

This time, your Vice President Mike Pence is running against you. Your ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, she’s running against you. Your former Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, said he’s not supporting you.

You mentioned National Security Adviser John Bolton. He’s not supporting you either. You mentioned Attorney General Bill Barr. Says you shouldn’t be president again. Calls you ‘the consummate narcissist’ and “troubled man.” You recently called Barr a “gutless pig.”

Your second defense secretary is not supporting you. Called you irresponsible. This week, you called your White House Chief of Staff John Kelly “weak and ineffective” and “born with a very small brain.” You called your acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney a “born loser.” You called your first Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, “dumb as a rock,” and your first Defense Secretary, James Mattis, “the world’s most overrated general.” You called your White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany “milquetoast.”

And multiple times, you’ve referred to your Transportation secretary, Elaine Chao, as “Mitch McConnell’s China-loving wife.”

When asked why he hired all those people, Trump responded that he “hired ten to one that were fantastic.”

“We had a great economy. We had phenomenal people in charge of the economy,” Trump continued. “We had phenomenal people in the military. I’m not a fan of Milley and I’m not a fan of certain of the television people. But I knocked out ISIS, I defeated ISIS. They said, Mattis, it will take three years and I don’t think we can do it. I did it in a period of like four weeks.”

“There’s a lot of people who praise you for your policies,” Baier acknowledged. “I just said that.”

“That’s true. Well, I mean, you just went through a list,” Trump concluded. “But don’t forget, for every one you say, I had ten that love us.”
