Levi revealed that he was initially hesitant when asked by Tulsi Gabbard to moderate a town hall in support of Trump. However, after praying and thinking deeply about it, he felt a sense of peace and conviction. "I felt peace because I knew that this was more important than saving my career," Levi explained. He believes that taking a stand for what he believes in is crucial, even if it means sacrificing his career.
Levi emphasized the significance of free speech and the need to protect it. He noted that many people misunderstand the concept of free speech, which actually protects hate speech. Levi stressed that he's not willing to give up his life or career for the sake of political correctness.
Megyn Kelly observed that America seems to be entering a new era, where people are moving away from identity politics and divisive rhetoric. Levi agreed, stating that it's time for a "cleanse and transparency" in the country. He emphasized the importance of knowing what's in our food, water, and drugs, and holding leaders accountable for their actions.
Levi recently starred in Jon Gunn's The Unbreakable Boy, alongside Meghann Fahy, Jacob Laval, and Patricia Heaton. Despite potential backlash from his political views, Levi's career seems to be thriving.
