The Tucker Carlson Show - Gina Carano

00:00:00.000 life is long and weird and the longer it is the weirder it gets you may have noticed that but

00:00:15.860 even by that unchanging standard gina carano has had a pretty remarkable life packed into a

00:00:22.380 relatively short amount of time so in 2006 she began as a professional mixed martial arts fighter 0.98

00:00:30.700 within a few years she was starring in big hollywood films like fast and furious then in 2019

00:00:37.040 not that long ago she got one of the biggest roles for career she was on a disney show called the

00:00:41.340 mandalorian in case you didn't see it here she is stay back dropper easy drop your weapon you're 0.90

00:00:49.800 gonna wish you never left alderaan i saw your planet destroyed i was on the death star which one 0.66

00:01:00.620 you think you're funny do you know how many millions were killed on those bases 0.51

00:01:07.400 drop your blaster as the galaxy cheered last chance destroying your planet was a small price to pay

00:01:16.480 to rid the galaxy of terrorism

00:01:18.700 so back in 2019 when you worked at disney the disney corporation you could expect a long and

00:01:32.820 pretty stable career it's a huge company lots of things you could keep doing there at a pretty good

00:01:36.940 salary and the only cost would be you have to follow the rules disney at the time was getting

00:01:43.280 increasingly political and the people who worked there were expected to go along with this so don't

00:01:48.320 say anything and you'll be absolutely fine but for some reason she could not follow that rule

00:01:53.600 and so she went on twitter and pushed back on some of the things that disney was pushing she questioned

00:01:59.280 the motives of black lives matter if it's so great why isn't helping black people 1.00

00:02:02.940 she asked about the 2020 election was it really fair and then

00:02:06.780 she suggested that maybe vax mandates were not a good idea so what do you think happened well disney

00:02:12.760 fired her what happened next to gina carano it's an even more interesting story than the first part

00:02:19.860 of her life uh and so we're honored to have her join us on set now gina thanks so much thank you

00:02:24.480 tucker it's so good to see it's great to see you so last we spoke and i don't know because both of

00:02:29.180 our lives have taken lots of turns since then yeah i can't remember how long it's been um but you were

00:02:35.520 just kind of emerging from the chaos of getting fired for things that in a normal country would not

00:02:41.160 cause you to be fired um like refusing to put in a pretty funny way your your pronouns in your email

00:02:48.000 and they fired you so what happened now like what are the twists that your life has taken since

00:02:54.620 because i think it tells us a lot well we um i went to the daily wire uh after the cancellation

00:03:01.440 um daily wire in nashville yes and why'd you go there what was your expectation um because ben

00:03:07.960 shapiro had given me the opportunity to you know um kind of try to uncancel me yes hey we'll do a

00:03:14.420 movie with you come on out and um let's just do a movie and try to get you know be uncanceled yes and

00:03:20.800 so i went out to nashville thinking that we were gonna shoot a movie there we didn't shoot it

00:03:24.560 there we ended up shooting up in montana pray montana um what a great town though yeah oh yeah

00:03:30.720 i love montana yeah um and so we we shot this two million dollar western movie during like you know

00:03:39.560 the time where sag after was starting to um mandate the vaccines and covid tests and masks and um you

00:03:48.600 know i just said to the daily wire gave me the op you know the option you know we can either do a

00:03:53.960 union movie or we can do a non-union movie um what would be the difference the difference would be

00:03:59.580 well the difference would be we would have to basically um hire more vaccinated people

00:04:06.500 on the union movie just in case they did mandate it which they ended up mandating it

00:04:11.260 um which is obviously everything i was standing against and so that wasn't an option for me

00:04:16.180 but it was an option for the daily wire um it it was one of their options yes yeah and so then their

00:04:23.600 second option was well for half the money so went from four million dollar um you know exciting serial

00:04:30.660 killer movie to a two million dollar um non-union movie where that would have given you know so many

00:04:38.540 more people that were struggling at the time for not taking the vax for not wanting to apply by the

00:04:43.680 covid restrictions and so the daily wire did put that on my you know my shoulders and said you know

00:04:50.840 this is your decision this is your movie um and i chose to go up and shoot the two million dollar

00:04:57.220 western which was called terror on the prairie so half the budget but you felt that it was important

00:05:03.120 as a matter of principle not to participate in a vax mandate yeah i wasn't going to do that i mean

00:05:07.900 you know disney uh didn't uh i mean i wasn't i didn't cave to disney you know what i mean i'm not

00:05:14.120 gonna like go to nashville and be like okay i was so grateful by the way for the opportunity

00:05:19.480 you know that uh they offered me um but it just when i got there it was just two different

00:05:26.300 options that i would i thought i i didn't think that that was what i was showing up to

00:05:31.260 um but they they did you know um they were like okay then let's let's go up and let's make this

00:05:38.460 western for two million dollars uh it made it definitely a lot more difficult um it's kind of

00:05:44.380 funny online and on imdb they say it's we shot it for 75 million dollars and they're trying they're

00:05:50.120 trying to like write up all these reports that it went into theater and it only made 800 dollars and

00:05:55.220 i'm like no it actually was just streamed on the daily wire we made it for about two million dollars

00:06:02.180 that i know of you know and it could have been less than that um and we uh it was never in theater

00:06:09.300 and you've got like all of the hollywood you know press like look at you know and it's even not not i

00:06:14.480 believe it's still on imdb listed as 75 million dollars just to kind of like do these awful things to

00:06:20.800 people like of course me and the daily wire and like people like you it's like let's just put as

00:06:26.300 much false information that leads people astray um but i ended up being a really good film um terror

00:06:33.520 on the prairie i i think there could have been you know adjustments made that made it better but i'm

00:06:38.740 i love the performances in it i love the people that made it um dallas saunier is a wonderful producer

00:06:45.020 i loved working with him and so i had a you know a really good time so what'd you do after that

00:06:51.780 i disappeared i think you know i knew that uh after getting canceled and fired i knew that like

00:07:00.940 even during the daily even during that daily wire kind of uh terror on the prairie stint i was wounded

00:07:07.040 like a broken animal and i yeah i'm not sure if you experienced the same thing after uh what happened

00:07:13.980 with you and fox but i i think everybody handles it maybe differently like yes to me it looks like

00:07:19.960 you jumped straight back in and you were like you know hustling i um have maybe a different energy

00:07:25.700 where it's like you know i got wounded i got stabbed yes you know i'm very shallow so it's easy to

00:07:31.980 recover no stop i i think you're just you know like a certain type of brain that you know you go

00:07:39.680 forward right yeah have to um and mine was i've not been like that like when i've been wounded

00:07:45.620 in relationships or in life like you know i get i get hurt i'm sensitive so for two years i've been

00:07:52.980 you know in this you know kind of desert you know kind of you know like wondering i'm like oh god

00:07:59.280 you know i see justice happening and i see people moving forward and i'm not moving forward um like i

00:08:07.060 thought i was going to and like i had you know said i was going to try to and i felt very um just

00:08:15.540 forgotten and then um so when you when you were fired from disney for reasons that no person should

00:08:24.020 ever be fired resisting a vax mandate or not putting your totally insane pronouns in a in an email did did

00:08:32.060 did you consider suing them then yes yeah i actually uh confronted my family lawyer and we

00:08:39.900 talked about it and i was like you know if this isn't defamation or if this isn't discrimination

00:08:44.620 then i don't know what is if this isn't wrongful doing of um an employee yes i don't know what is so

00:08:52.140 i know it's my fault uh for not telling your story more completely for those who don't know it it's not

00:08:57.800 simply that they fired you right it's that they defamed you they i mean and harassed and discriminated

00:09:05.440 and just uh put me through the struggle session which i didn't know when you're going through it

00:09:10.700 you don't know that you know you're like i was so naive at 2020 i haven't been living in the political

00:09:16.480 realm at all yes i just pay my taxes and you know hustle for that next job you know that next action

00:09:23.600 job or the next drama job and you know that's just what i've been trying to do for my entire life

00:09:28.020 um besides my fighting career yeah and so then it was just like when 2020 hits like the the shades got

00:09:36.020 opened and i started actually like looking around thinking wait a second wait a second what's happening

00:09:41.180 here like yeah uh why are people allowed to riot on the streets and they're not allowed to go to church

00:09:47.040 and why are big businesses staying open and small businesses are getting shut down and um you know

00:09:53.820 it was just uh it bothered me it's like people forcing masks on each other and i i and and you

00:10:01.220 know intrinsic intrinsically new lockdowns are going to be devastating to people this is you know coming

00:10:07.180 from an a person who has you know been on and off work i know what it's like to not work for a year

00:10:12.480 and yes work for three years and not to work when you take away that consistency it does such an

00:10:18.240 emotional mental spiritual thing on you that um you know some people don't know how to handle you

00:10:23.580 know they start drugs alcohol addiction and that's exactly what we've seen you know we've seen all of

00:10:29.740 this addiction and all this problem um you know deaths and i've lost two friends to overdoses um

00:10:39.140 you know one to turbo cancer one to i believe um a vaccine uh uh uh what's it called injury injury

00:10:49.700 yeah and then um i've lost so i've lost so many people in the last six years or the last four years

00:10:55.400 that it's just like mind-blowing which is just a whole another subject but it it does make me feel

00:11:00.960 like um i was i stood up for the right thing i'm not sorry i did it hasn't made things easy

00:11:08.200 but um yeah i was uh so i did try to go and talk to a lawyer

00:11:14.960 tucker says it best the credit card companies are ripping americans off and enough is enough

00:11:25.460 this is senator roger marshall of kansas our legislation the credit card competition act

00:11:31.740 would help in the grip visa and mastercard have on us every time you use your credit card they charge

00:11:38.340 you a hidden fee called a swipe fee and they've been raising it without even telling you this hurts

00:11:43.960 consumers and every small business owner in fact american families are paying eleven hundred dollars

00:11:50.060 in hidden swipe fees each year the fees visa and mastercard charge americans are the highest in the

00:11:56.980 world double candidates and eight times more than europe's that's why i've taken action but i need

00:12:02.900 your help to help get this passed i'm asking you to call your senator today and demand they pass the

00:12:09.440 credit card competition act paid for by the merchants payments coalition not authorized by any candidate or

00:12:15.120 candidates committee www.merchantspaymentscoalition.com hillsdale college offers many great free online

00:12:47.820 tucker for hillsdale.com that's tucker for hillsdale.com

00:12:55.440 what was the lawyer's response and what was your thinking about it at the time you know like i had

00:13:03.240 to get out of la because my life was not safe there at least where i was at and you know it's pretty

00:13:08.240 expensive to live in la and and so it's either like moving to keep keep in la or you know try to

00:13:16.140 move to maybe nashville and see if that daily wire thing works out well that didn't really you know

00:13:21.600 pan out which you know it's not like there's no bad blood there it's just it's not where i you know

00:13:27.280 it's not where god wanted me i don't think yes um and so then i just kept on going and i ended up in

00:13:33.040 montana how did you wind up in montana we ended up shooting terror on the prairie there and you liked

00:13:39.280 it so much you stayed i just being outside and looking at the sky and being able to breathe and

00:13:45.800 not feeling that anxiety of a city or um the possible rides coming down the streets and just

00:13:53.560 you know there's an interesting thing i feel like in montana uh you know people mind their business

00:13:58.620 basically yes and keep to themselves and um i feel like in montana you have to work in your land

00:14:05.900 you have to be have a certain toughness during the winter and i think that's really cool so you

00:14:11.600 know montana is not a place where weak people go to live and i like to be surrounded by by that energy

00:14:18.300 by strong people yeah and so when i me and my lawyer were talking about it my family lawyer he's such a

00:14:24.660 wonderful man he was like gina you know i think it's important that you get somewhere safe and take

00:14:30.320 care of that first and so i did and and relocating your life as i'm sure you've been through plenty

00:14:36.800 of times in your life is you know it's not like an easy thing changing a job changing of a life

00:14:43.020 perspective you know and then having to completely uproot and move your life and figure out where you

00:14:47.860 belong um yeah all of that has been going on in the last two years and a lot of positive things too

00:14:55.780 um i look at you know uh relationships and friendships and future different um you know

00:15:04.640 i could have ended up in new york and single at some point and now i really value a partnership and

00:15:11.340 i really value a future with someone and it's just like my whole maybe that's just called maturity

00:15:17.740 but i was a really late in maturity part you were my little sister you were busy my little sister

00:15:24.940 is a lot more mature than me and she's got three kids and she's like any day gina any day i'm like

00:15:30.540 well you know i don't know about the kids part but did your spiritual perspective change oh it i've

00:15:37.800 always been a christian but i never felt so much like a christian as i do these last few years and it

00:15:45.580 just keeps growing and um you know i think that's something that makes people cringe and uh i've seen that

00:15:53.020 happen but why does it make people cringe when you say that well i think you know religion and any

00:15:59.600 type of you know it's been used so wrongly you know something it's been used so aggressively and

00:16:05.220 wrongly to persuade people in evil you know ways that um are fake and um it's it's it's really turned

00:16:13.880 people off because usually when people go to god or go to a place of god they're searching because

00:16:19.720 they're hurt and they're wounded and when you are hurt and wounded and then you get hurt and wounded

00:16:24.700 by the person the people are a place that you feel is supposed to protect yes and be the safe place

00:16:30.740 i think then then people just get really um angry at god and i don't think that it's god that maybe

00:16:38.240 they're angry at it's at the experience you know yes so the people claiming to represent him

00:16:43.720 yes i really haven't been to church an actual church um probably in 20 years yeah um but i in the

00:16:53.880 last three years have just grown so much closer and understanding and so it was actually at that point

00:16:59.980 where i said you know i was like god you know all these people are getting justice you know and i

00:17:08.840 i was so i know i was done so wrong it was so wrong what happened to me and i know that there's so much

00:17:14.960 more wrong that happened to so many other people and so i even felt like you know don't be a brat

00:17:20.900 about this gina like there's you know doctors and lawyers and police officers and nurses and you know

00:17:28.440 this is like awful things are happening all around to everybody and so i just i started looking at my

00:17:35.460 justice as you know starting over in montana and being able to see the big sky and just being so

00:17:41.880 grateful for my surroundings and then finally it was really interesting when i finally got that out

00:17:48.700 of my heart and truly gave it over to god and was just like it's yours if i stay in the desert of work

00:17:55.880 and i never work again in this business then okay then i need to learn a different skill

00:18:03.580 you know i need to figure out what i'm gonna do and so i had to really let it go genuinely you know

00:18:10.800 genuinely let it go and which isn't easy and a week later well yeah that took years

00:18:15.680 um i tried to i tried to pretend like i was there so many times but to genuinely let that last

00:18:22.500 inch of like it's gonna be okay and i'm gonna give it to you and a week later i got an email a week

00:18:31.220 later i got an email from x and they said that they um were some lawyers that um were taking

00:18:38.600 up cases that people had possibly been fired um for speaking their opinion on on x and they'd like

00:18:48.880 to hear my case so they approached you over email elon musk's lawyers just found you yeah i don't even

00:18:58.560 said by the way we'd like to pay for your your case yeah well no no it wouldn't it didn't go like

00:19:02.820 that it was i was first of all i was like is this a scam yeah it sounds like a scam right and i was

00:19:08.980 like some sort of scam so i like you know had my lawyers look into them to make sure uh my family

00:19:14.820 lawyer um no i've never paid a dime to and he has just you know he's actually my brother's or my

00:19:20.520 my sister's um husband's uh cousin and here he is just like taking on like my problems just with a

00:19:30.600 smile and and i was like do you think you can you know well will lemcoe by the way i i love you will

00:19:37.100 um he's been such a wonderful person to me he he was just like these people are legit these are

00:19:44.540 actually legit lawyers get back to them and so i said because will will believes in my case he just

00:19:50.900 knew my my personal circumstance was very difficult at the time and you know didn't have the money to

00:19:56.580 pay for that yeah um i needed to put that money into restarting life yes and so um uh he's like call

00:20:04.600 them back and so or or email them back and i emailed them back immediately and i was like ready and ed

00:20:11.780 edward trent who is um at the law firm just a incredible man he was like wow he was like we've

00:20:20.120 emailed a lot of people and you got it back to us like it's like pretty fast you know and um

00:20:25.940 and then from there on and the last you know i guess it's been that was before christmas and it's

00:20:32.540 you know probably in november i think um they've we've just been like i'm sending them everything

00:20:40.340 and i'm telling them my story and we're having long conversations and they're listening to

00:20:45.800 everything that happened and then um you know i'm sending them emails that transpired between me and

00:20:51.940 disney and publicists and all the other people and i'm saying everything i've got and um they've

00:20:58.320 they took that to x and elon and said we believe in this case very much so very much so um

00:21:08.200 and they presented it to x and then x is like you know you have to they had to get the permission

00:21:15.660 from them so i'm sure x has their lawyers looking through it because this is a completely different

00:21:20.180 law firm yes retained by x yes so i'm sure x has their own people that are looking at it as well

00:21:26.220 um so there's multiple eyes on this and then um then they had to take it to elon and you know brief

00:21:32.760 him on it and then you know they came back and they said we're taking it on let's do this we're

00:21:38.740 going to write a complaint and we're going to file i mean that's just an amazing story yeah

00:21:45.060 hey it's ducker carlson thanks a lot for watching that conversation with gina karana who is a very

00:21:49.380 cool person you may have noticed that a lot of the e-commerce sites online are run by people who

00:21:54.920 don't share your values and may actually despise you creepy tech oligarchs first and foremost selling

00:22:02.160 your data the highest bidder also selling you garbage from third world countries not helping 0.99

00:22:06.020 anyone but them but there is an alternative there's a marketplace trying to change the way this

00:22:10.500 worked it's called public square and it's got a new way of conducting e-commerce by connecting you

00:22:15.460 with 80 000 small businesses who make things you can feel happy to buy not guilty at all you're

00:22:21.920 working for good not evil it's worth checking out you can go to public square.com slash tucker

00:22:27.220 um i heard elon say something i read uh some statement where he said well you know anyone

00:22:33.280 who's free speech on x has been used against them right uh can have our lawyers look at it but what do

00:22:39.880 you i mean and i responded to that which i you know i didn't think that anything would ever come

00:22:43.920 of it but he he tweeted that out um and i said you know in a quote tweet i said well i think that i

00:22:50.660 think i qualify or something like that smiley face and um nothing happened for months and i was like okay

00:22:57.800 well you know i didn't expect anything so and then when that happened and i got that email it's like

00:23:03.940 it's one of those there's been a couple of those calls in my life or a couple of those moments in my

00:23:08.160 life that i've just been like oh my gosh like i get a chance right now i get a fighting chance to

00:23:16.620 clear my name to let the world know what happened here to you know the the world's a lot gone come a

00:23:24.660 lot uh you know a long ways in three years a lot of information's come out yes so i mean you shouldn't

00:23:33.360 get fired for being ahead of the curve you know what i mean i shouldn't have gotten fired for you

00:23:38.840 know talking about lockdowns and masks and encouraging that i was encouraging conversation

00:23:42.960 you know i shouldn't have gotten fired for my so supposedly controversial tweets they were not

00:23:49.180 controversial they were just they were just they were just having trouble with where i was coming

00:23:55.000 from i think um i it's it's it's bewildering like it's mind-blowing what happened um so you have any

00:24:04.200 idea why i mean even very rich people rarely pay for lawyers for strangers on principle i mean have you

00:24:12.940 do you know why elon musk is doing this you know you know i've never even met him i've never even spoken

00:24:21.300 to him i think he's retweeted me once um and he's doing this not only for me in this big case he's

00:24:30.080 doing this for many other people and um i think there's just i think we're living in a time of such um

00:24:40.000 such an incredible person that would be fighting for free speech on the biggest level i mean if we did

00:24:49.420 not have what elon musk is doing right now so many of us would be in such deep trouble um nations would

00:24:57.320 be in trouble and um i respect what he's doing and i i don't know why he's doing it you know i think that

00:25:06.160 you know a lot of billionaires put their money into more selfish things and he's choosing to put his

00:25:12.040 money into the defense of free speech and the defense of injustice and um i have to imagine

00:25:20.940 you know i have to imagine that i had to do something with may musk his mother um because

00:25:26.900 i follow her too and i think you know how heartbreaking it's been for my family to watch

00:25:33.220 me go through this hardship and i really wonder about the musk family um and what tough skin they

00:25:40.140 must have had but what an incredibly classy woman that that woman is and i i love following her 1.00

00:25:48.080 because i see this came from somewhere you know um and and yeah i just think what an incredible family

00:25:58.560 that has burdened such a um such a tough moment in time that i think that he will go down in history as

00:26:07.040 one of the greats um as will you tucker well i'm not i'm not doing anything like that i'm just talking

00:26:14.880 on camera that's that's a pretty generous thing to be doing for people you don't know i mean never even

00:26:20.720 spoken to him so tell us i hope i get to thank him one day like and shake his hand and you know i don't

00:26:27.460 know like how you you you thank someone like this you know like just uh thank you elon for fighting

00:26:35.180 this fight for so many of us um it it is uns it's just i don't know anybody like this person and i

00:26:44.140 don't even know this person amazing so what what's the suit like and it goes without saying that we're

00:26:51.020 fervently rooting for you and for justice in this case but tell us about the suit well my lawyers yeah

00:26:57.800 um they said you know keep the lawyer talk to the lawyer talk right so i don't stick myself in any

00:27:04.380 bad situation um so i kind of leave that up to them it's all on the complaint they filed the complaint

00:27:11.840 um it's uh february 6th and disney now has a certain amount of time to respond to that complaint

00:27:22.120 and so um yeah that's but basically the substance as i understand it you're fired unfairly in violation

00:27:32.380 of the law and then defamed tell us about the defamation tell us what they did to you in more

00:27:39.280 specific terms well there is defamation i'm not sure and if that's a legal claim i mean i i should

00:27:45.000 i should as well as a non-lawyer keep the but they they trashed you they did they did they what uh what

00:27:51.080 they really did was they put out this um awful so i put up a tweet that i this become infamous tweet of

00:27:57.420 saying that uh and i don't even know because i just put it up in like a story section i didn't post

00:28:04.040 it i put it in like the you know quick everybody look through like the stories of the tweet because

00:28:08.640 tweets used to have the fleet section and it was basically saying that it didn't start like uh you

00:28:14.580 know nazi germany didn't start just with people just waking up being nazis and like you know demonizing

00:28:19.980 you know like throwing people jews into the concentration camps it didn't start there 0.82

00:28:24.240 it started before that it started with propaganda it started with you know um you know you had to

00:28:30.980 kind of start urging people to make it okay to um demonize your neighbor and hate people for

00:28:38.000 whatever differences it was at that time it was jewish people and um you know that's where it started

00:28:44.980 and that's that's what made it so much easier for you know you're living in a house and then you know

00:28:50.660 the nazis come and their next your next door neighbor is getting hauled off that you know maybe

00:28:57.040 years before you guys were all having dinner and having this wonderful relationship and then

00:29:01.660 um it gradually happened it just wasn't something that happened just like that and that was what the

00:29:08.140 meme meant to me was that i was trying to tell people now like don't demonize each other understand

00:29:16.060 you know we're all human beings still and and you know basically just bad things have happened in the

00:29:23.400 past and to learn from the past yes and i thought that was something that everyone uh democrats republicans

00:29:30.940 independents that everybody could um understand and get i thought that was a tweet for everybody

00:29:36.140 and the um the hollywood press and every you know major news and media that they came against me and they

00:29:44.380 said she just she compared republicans to jewish community the jewish holocaust and um she's denigrating

00:29:52.320 you know the jewish community and like right so so you you came out against the nazis but they claimed

00:29:58.980 you were pro nazis they called me they smeared me as an anti-semite smeared me and i was like wait i

00:30:05.560 don't and i still don't get how how did you do that right um and why did people believe in it but you know

00:30:13.900 like uh and then what disney did was they put out a statement that said um uh we are no longer

00:30:22.440 working with uh there's there is a statement uh when we're not we're no longer working with gina

00:30:28.000 carano um and we basically think that she's denigrating people off of their cultural and

00:30:33.220 religious beliefs and they said something about me being abhorrent and for your anti-nazi tweet yeah

00:30:39.900 so you obviously know this since you worked in the business but i mean people who write about

00:30:52.180 television and movies are directed to the word by the pr departments at the television and movie

00:30:59.300 companies right so there's no independent press that writes about the movies or about television

00:31:05.220 right even cable news you know what i mean yeah like the big cable news websites are all controlled

00:31:12.080 by the pr departments right it's true in hollywood and that's really been uh you know so i had my own

00:31:18.100 um had hired my own publicist during you know uh season two of the mandalorian and they were working

00:31:24.380 with the publicist from the disney people and then they were working with the uta who dropped me

00:31:31.020 immediately as well of course they do uh-huh and then your agent who's there

00:31:34.960 fighting for you yeah all of them i mean and then the entertainment lawyer yeah dropped me of course

00:31:43.020 and that the the funny thing is like the entertainment lawyer i think was uh he they would

00:31:48.100 constantly be sending out hey we're having this democrat you know um at my house come on over for

00:31:53.200 you know raise some funds for the democrat you know party da da da or whoever the candidate was that

00:31:58.100 they were you know and so all of these people just dropped me immediately and i was like people you'd

00:32:04.060 been paying to stand by your side in case there was a big problem yeah the second there was a big

00:32:08.620 problem they fled and denounced you yes immediately may they all rot 0.60

00:32:13.460 and i was just like okay

00:32:17.440 that's so much you know i mean i knew that like maybe something could happen where disney would might

00:32:25.180 be like hey you know um as professionals i thought maybe they'd just be like okay well maybe

00:32:30.740 we're gonna not work with you or maybe something like that could happen by speaking out um about the

00:32:37.460 things that i spoke out about but i found the things that i spoke out about were so much more

00:32:40.840 important than the the career part because i felt like you know we needed to be talking about we're

00:32:47.520 headed in a really bad direction oh yes you know the lockdowns the mask mandates the vaccines you know i

00:32:52.940 felt like we needed to um i never even said who i was really voting for it was just i was getting

00:32:59.040 really pushed into this like you're an extremist you're an alt-right extremist you know um and so i

00:33:04.940 thought maybe that that could be an option but never in my wildest dreams would i thought that they would

00:33:10.640 have through twitter or through um a publication without even calling me this is how i found out i was

00:33:19.360 fired online on twitter like they didn't call me they didn't say we're letting you go we're not we're

00:33:27.680 no longer going to work together um this is why you know it was just um she's denigrating people off

00:33:35.640 of cultural and religious beliefs and she's abhorrent and i was like for coming out against the nazis

00:33:40.520 yeah yeah okay so backwards yeah and but again you know that when you get attacked in the hollywood

00:33:52.080 trade press that's because the company you worked for directed those reporters right and i'm learning

00:33:58.320 that more and more so now yeah you know when there's like a a piece uh that somebody writes

00:34:04.860 about me um i go and i look up the journalist and i go and look up what other you know what i what

00:34:11.740 other you know articles has this journalist written of course and you can almost just trace it back

00:34:16.920 and a couple i traced right back to lucas foam and i was like of course you know right there you guys

00:34:22.860 you know you call up your people and uh you know it's ugly it's the most dishonest thing ever

00:34:29.980 yeah and a reporter at the hollywood reporter or wherever yeah and and it's all involved right

00:34:35.560 it's the agencies it's the managers it's the um publicists it's the studios and it's just this big

00:34:43.180 mafioso that um does not give the independent artist unless they're willing to comply and fit in

00:34:50.960 a hundred percent into that um ideologies and their narratives and be basically these manufactured

00:34:58.440 robots you know um i mean i feel like there's the one percent of hollywood that can do what they

00:35:03.380 want and say and think what they want and those are the very very talented people um but at the peak

00:35:09.540 of my career it was like you know i think they thought let's make an example out of this one for sure um

00:35:15.580 she's an action actress you know she hasn't done you know drama yet she hasn't gotten there um we'll make

00:35:21.920 an example out of her and uh it had the complete opposite effect which was um just overwhelming

00:35:29.580 support um uh it was pretty funny like as soon as they they were at the peak of their um stock market

00:35:39.620 ever in february 2021 or no yeah in february 2021 and right when they fired me is when it

00:35:47.800 started plummeting to what it is now and you know they're you're obviously very smart people and

00:35:55.220 they're trying to salvage it but um people saw they saw what was going on in my case it was very obvious

00:36:02.960 do you have friends who are still there yeah i you know everybody i worked physically with um i never

00:36:09.340 had a problem with and uh you know like um you know me and pedro reconnected after um you know

00:36:19.020 carl weathers passed away yes um and you know there was all these lies and all these weird stories

00:36:27.140 and that people make up in their heads and you know one thing i can say is you know i adore pedro

00:36:34.520 um and he said one thing to me he said you and carl were protectors and and that means so much to me

00:36:46.540 that he remembers me and our time together as me being a protector and um it's important like

00:36:54.360 like people don't know what the real story is like why do you think pedro's calling me a protector

00:37:01.200 to his fans i want i would you know there's a reason and there's stories that you don't know

00:37:07.980 that happened and i was there and i and i protect people you know like uh there was a person

00:37:16.800 multiple times that's just my nature is when you know there was a person who was wearing a mask on set

00:37:22.500 and they were at their end they were over time and they were uh crying and they were upset and they

00:37:31.320 couldn't do it anymore they just couldn't they were broken there was a broken person in that mask and i

00:37:38.100 nobody was saying anything and i just simply went up to the director at the time and i said

00:37:43.120 this person's done they're done they need that they're they need their um they need the contacts out

00:37:51.260 they need the the thing off their head they need to breathe they're broken and um the director and i

00:37:59.160 was like look i you know and i worked long longer hours than maybe probably any actor because my face

00:38:04.940 was showing and i did all my own stunts so if you go back and you look at like the work records you're

00:38:10.380 going to find who was on set the most as like the actors and you're going to find me at the top of that

00:38:15.280 list and i said i'll you know get my coverage tonight i know you guys wanted to do it you know

00:38:21.840 the next day you can get my coverage tonight you give this man a break and i will um you know i'll

00:38:28.320 stay later and you know push my time and um i'll show up early and you know don't worry about it but

00:38:34.660 i've done that on numerous sets and that's um you know because i do understand that like

00:38:40.800 well i come from a fighter's background and um and i want it and i wanted it so bad that i feel

00:38:48.280 like i can i have if i can have the energy to push in i can do it and it crushes me when people are

00:38:55.280 broken or hurting or being bullied yes and which was my whole purpose of speaking out um

00:39:01.520 you know in 2020 was just the weakest got bullied the most as always they a lot of people that you know

00:39:09.760 i was usually very introverted i you know get really nervous for interviews although that's

00:39:15.480 getting better um i get nervous for public speaking i get nervous for performing um but when i'm

00:39:23.160 passionate when i mean something that's when i can speak and that's the only reason why i'm probably

00:39:27.460 able to speak with you right now is because i have a clear heart about what happened i want the

00:39:33.520 lawyers to look into it i want the professionals to see what happened and how ludicrous and absurd it was

00:39:39.660 and um and i want things to change so that it doesn't happen to other people what's your next chapter

00:39:50.720 well my next chapter is going to be i'm going to make a movie i'm going to produce and possibly

00:40:01.800 direct it i am going to do it i'm going to get it financed i don't know how yet um

00:40:07.460 but i'm going to make some art and it's going to be truly inclusive and um i think that's going

00:40:15.900 to be a gift that that's that's where my heart has been i thought i was going to get that a couple

00:40:21.780 years ago with the daily wire i thought that was the path that was going to happen but i'm you know

00:40:27.560 i think god's teaching me a lesson right now of how to um how to do this how to learn how to put

00:40:35.700 this together and how to attract the people that you want to work with and um you know i i i lost

00:40:43.040 my team when i got canceled you know so i didn't have anybody and so the rebuilding of a life and

00:40:48.500 everything has been my focus in the last two years well i've i've rebuilt that now and you know there's

00:40:54.820 still things that i need to you know do i need to rebuild my body you know a lot of stress and not

00:40:59.540 working and you know depression and all of that i need to focus on my health that's very that's at

00:41:04.880 the top of my list and i've been saying that but um also to get creative and uh i think that's what's

00:41:13.240 going to happen i think that's what i want to do is i want to direct and produce a movie and um start

00:41:19.760 being more in control of giving getting my stories out there that i that i like

00:41:27.340 i think being in control is a good thing at this point yeah well i hope you'll come back when you

00:41:33.600 do that thank you thank you thank you so much sucker it's just a great story and i'm glad to see you
