A few years ago, he used Dikembe Mutombo's death to share his stance on vaccines. It should be noted that the NBA legend died of brain cancer, and there is no proven link between the disease and vaccines.
The "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo" star also has a strained relationship with his daughter, Elle King, over his views on the LGBTQ+ community.
"I disagree with a lot of the things that he says," said King. "You're talking out of your a— and you're talking s**t about drag and, you know, anti-gay rights. And it's like, get f****d."
As the U.S.'s war with Iran continues to escalate, the 62-year-old has another opinion to share, this one is about the military.
Rob Schneider Believes America Should Reinstate the Draft
Schneider shared his latest idea on social media: he believes the United States should reinstate the military draft. He began the post with the famous quote from former President John. F. Kennedy: "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."
"We must once again recommit ourselves to one Nation under God, indivisible. Therefore, we must restore the military draft for our Nation's young people," he wrote on X. "Each and every American, at eighteen years of age, must serve two years of military service. They could also choose to serve part of that time overseas or in country in a volunteer capacity."
"Being a citizen of the United States gives us unparalleled freedoms and opportunities that are the envy of the world," the comedian continued. "However, these freedoms that we cherish do not come without a cost. By protecting and preserving these freedoms, young people, regardless of race, creed or religion, will be united in service to their country and just as importantly, to each other.
"Many nations around the world require their young citizens to serve their country. Until recently, our nation did as well. This would serve many purposes in our society; We would have all of our young men and women put into a rigorous physical training course that they could use for the rest of their lives, we would always have a standing army ready at all times including for domestic problems like natural disasters."
Has Schneider Ever Served in the Military?
Schneider had more to say on the matter.
"Unlike in today's universities, our young people will learn how truly great their country is and how unique and incredible are the freedoms that this nation bestows upon them," he continued. "Service is a solemn reminder of the men and women before them who 'paid the last full measure of devotion' so that we may enjoy these freedoms.
"Also, very importantly, we would have in service every segment of our society represented so that our elected officials would be more hesitant and not cavalier about sending their own sons and daughters off to a faraway war unless it was truly in our nation's interests."
Schneider has never been in the armed forces. However, he did portray a police officer in the film Demolition Man.
His comments come as the possibility of President Donald Trump deploying soldiers to Iran begins to loom. However, many users did not agree with Schneider's point of view.
"As a veteran, no. No more wars for Israel at the cost of American youth," one user wrote. "Also, f*** you."
Another added, "This is an interesting take for a man who never spent a single day in uniform within our armed forces. Rules for thee but not for me Rob? How many of YOUR kids have enlisted? F*** off."
