The wild is closer than you think. But if you want to do more than gaze at it from a safe distance, you might want more than just any small SUV.
Introducing the new 2025 Ford Bronco Sport with a Sasquatch package. The most capable Bronco Sport ever.
Built to rock crawl, off-road, and conquer the trails near you. Built wild.
Always consult the owner's manual before off-road driving, know your terrain and trail difficulty, and use appropriate safety gear. Life is long and weird, and the longer it is, the weirder it gets.
You may have have noticed that but even by that unchanging standard gina carano has had a pretty remarkable life packed into a relatively short amount of time so in 2006 she began as a professional mixed martial arts fighter within a few years she was starring in starring in big Hollywood films like Fast and Furious.

Then in 2019, not that long ago, she got one of the biggest roles for her career. She was on a Disney show called The Mandalorian.
In case you didn't see it, here she is. Stay back, dropper.
Easy. Drop your weapon.
You're going to wish you never left Alderaan. I saw your planet destroyed.

I was on the Death Star. And I wish you never left Alderaan.
I saw your planet destroyed.

I was on the Death Star.

Which one?

You think you're funny?

Do you know how many millions were killed on those bases?

Drop your blaster.

As the galaxy cheered...

Last chance.

Destroying your planet was a small price to pay to rid the galaxy of terrorism so back in 2019 when you worked at disney the disney corporation you could expect a long and pretty stable career it's a huge company lots of things you could keep doing there at a pretty good salary. And the only cost would be you have to follow the rules.
Disney at the time was getting increasingly political, and the people who worked there were expected to go along with it. So don't say anything, and you'll be absolutely fine.
But for some reason, she could not follow that rule. And so she went on Twitter and pushed back on some of the things that Disney was pushing.
She questioned the motives of Black Lives Matter. If it's so great, why isn't it helping Black people? She asked about the 2020 election.
Was it really fair? And then she suggested that maybe Vax mandates were not a good idea. So what do you think happened? Well, Disney fired her.
What happened next to Gina Carano? It's an even more interesting story than the first part of her life. And so we're honored to have her join us on set now.
Gina, thanks so much. Thank you, Tucker.
It's so good to see you again. It's great to see you.
So last we spoke, and I don't know because both of our lives have taken lots of turns since then. I can't remember how long it's been.
But you were just kind of emerging from the chaos of getting fired for things that in a normal country would not cause you to be fired, like refusing to put in a pretty funny way your pronouns in your email, and they fired you. So what happened, like what are the twists that your life has taken since? Because I think it tells us a lot.
Well, we went to the Daily Wire after the cancellation. Daily Wire in Nashville.
Yes. Why'd you go there? What was your expectation? Because Ben Shapiro had given me the opportunity to, you know, kind of try to uncancel me.
Yes. Hey, we'll do a movie with you.
come on out and um let's just do a movie and try to get you know um kind of try to uncancel me and say hey we'll do a movie with you come on out and um let's just do a movie and try to get you know be uncanceled yes and so i went out to nashville thinking that we were gonna shoot a movie there we didn't shoot it there we ended up shooting up in montana pray montana um what a great town that is yeah oh yeah i love montana yeah um and so we we shot this $2 million Western movie during the time where SAG-AFTRA was starting to mandate the vaccines and COVID tests and masks. And I just said to the Daily Wire gave me the option.
We can either do a union movie or we can do a non-union movie. What would be the difference? The difference would be, well, the difference would be we would have to basically hire more vaccinated people on the union movie just in case they did mandate it, which they ended up mandating it.
Which is obviously everything I was standing against. And so that wasn't an option for me.
But it was an option for The Daily Wire. It was one of their options.
Yes. Yeah.
And so then their second option was, well, for half the money, so it went from $4 million exciting serial killer movie to a $2 million non-union movie where that would have given, you know, so many more people that were struggling at the time for not taking the VACs, for not wanting to apply by the COVID restrictions. And so the Daily Wire did put that on my, you know, my shoulders and said, you know, this is your decision.
This is your movie. And I chose to go up and shoot the two million dollar western which was called terror on the prairie so half the budget but you felt that it was important as a matter of principle not to participate in a vax mandate yeah i wasn't gonna do that i mean you know disney uh didn't uh i mean i wasn't i didn't cave to disney you know what i mean yeah i'm not gonna like go to nashville and be like okay i was so grateful by the way for the opportunity you know that

they offered me um but it just when i got there it was just two different options that i would i

thought i i didn't think that that was what i was showing up to um but they they did you know um

they were like okay then let's let's go up and let's make this western for two million dollars uh it made it definitely a lot more difficult um it's kind of funny online and on IMDB they say it's we shot it for 75 million dollars and they're trying they're trying to like write up all these reports that it went into theater and it only made $800. And I'm like, no, it actually was just streamed on the Daily Wire.
We made it for about $2 million that I know of, you know, and it could have been less than that. And we it was never in theater.
And you've got like all of the Hollywood press, like, look at, you know, and it's even not, I believe it's still on IMDb listed as $75 million just to kind of like do these awful things to people like me and the Daily Wire and like people like you. It's like, let's just put as much false information that leads people astray.
But it ended up being a really good film, Terror on the Prairie. I think there could have been adjustments made that made it better,

but I love the performances in it.

I love the people that made it.

Dallas Saunier is a wonderful producer.

I loved working with him.

And so I had a really good time.

So what did you do after that?

I disappeared.

I think, you know, I that uh after getting canceled and fired i knew that like even during the daily even during that daily wire kind of uh terror on the prairie stint i was wounded like a broken animal and i yeah i'm not sure if you experienced the same thing after uh what happened with you and Fox, but I think everybody handles it maybe differently. Like to me, it looks like you jumped straight back in and you were like, you know, hustling.
I have maybe a different energy where it's like, you know, I got wounded, I got stabbed. Yes.
I'm very shallow, so it's easy to recover. No, stop.
I think you're just, you know, like a certain type of brain that, you know, you very shallow so it's easy to recover no stop i i think you're just you know like a certain type of brain that you know you go forward right yeah have to um and mine was i've not been like that like when i've been wounded in relationships or in life like you know i get i get hurt i'm sensitive so yes for two years i've been you know in this you know kind of desert you know kind of you know like wondering I'm sensitive. So for two years, I've been, you know, in this, you know, kind of desert, you know, kind of, you know, like wondering, I'm like, oh, God, you know, I see justice happening and I see people moving forward and I'm not moving forward.
Like I thought I was going to and like I had said I was going to try to and I felt very um just forgotten and then um so when you when you were fired from Disney for reasons that no person should ever be fired resisting a vax mandate or not putting your totally insane pronouns in a in an email did did you consider suing them then? Yes. Yeah.
I actually confronted my family lawyer and we talked about it and I was like, you know, if this isn't defamation or if this isn't discrimination, then I don't know what is. If this isn't wrongful doing of an employee, then I don't know what is.
So it's my fault for not telling your story more completely for those who don't know it. It's not simply that they fired you.
Right. It's that they defamed you.
They I mean and harassed and discriminated and just put me through the struggle session which I didn't know when you're going through it you don't know that you know you're like I was so naive at 2020. I haven't been living in the political realm at all.
I just pay my taxes and, you know, hustle for that next job, you know, that next action job or the next drama job. And, you know, that's just what I've been trying to do for my entire life.
Besides my fighting career. And so then it was just like when 2020 hits, like the shades got opened and i started actually like looking around thinking wait a second wait a second what's happening here like yeah uh why are people allowed to riot on the streets and they're not allowed to go to church and why are big businesses staying open and small businesses are getting shut down and um you know It was just, it bothered me.
It's like people forcing masks on each other.

And I... and small businesses are getting shut down and um you know it was just uh it bothered me it's like people forcing masks on each other and i i and and you know interesting intrinsically new lockdowns are going to be devastating to people this is you know coming 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 and yes work three years and not to work.
When you take away that consistency, it does such an emotional, mental, spiritual thing on you that, you know, some people don't know how to handle, you know, they start drugs, alcohol, addiction, and that's exactly what we've seen. You know, we've seen all of this addiction and all this problem, you know, deaths and I've lost two friends to overdoses, one to turbo cancer, one to, I believe, a vaccine, what's it called? Injury.
Injury, yeah. And then I've lost so many people in the last six years or the last four years that it's just like mind blowing, which is just a whole another subject.
But it does make me feel like I was I stood up for the right thing. I'm not sorry I did.
It hasn't made things easy. But yeah, I was so I did try to go and TNUSA.com and check them out.

That's 1-800-780-8888. Tucker says it best.
The credit card companies are ripping Americans off and enough is enough. This is Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas.
Our legislation, the Credit Card Competition Act, would help in the grip Visa and MasterCard have on us. Every time you use your credit card, they charge you a hidden fee called a swipe fee and they've been raising it without even telling you.
This hurts consumers and every small business owner. In fact, American families are paying $1,100 in hidden swipe fees each year.
The fees Visa and MasterCard charge Americans are the highest in the world, double candidates and eight times more than Europe's. That's why I've taken action, but I need your help to help get this passed.
I'm asking you to call your senator today and demand they pass the Credit Card Competition Act. Paid for by the Merchants Payments Coalition, not authorized by any candidate or candidates committee, www.merchantspaymentscoalition.com.
What was the lawyer's response and what was your thinking about it at the time? You know, like I had to get out of LA because my life was not safe there, at least where I was at. And you know, it's pretty expensive to live in LA.
And so it's either like, move into, keep in LA or, you know, try to move to maybe Nashville and see if that Daily Wire thing works out. Well, that didn't really,

you know, 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, it's not where God wanted me, I don't think.
Yes. And so then I just kept on going and I ended up in Montana.
How did you wind up in Montana? We ended up shooting terror on the prairie there. And you liked it so much you stayed? I just being outside and looking at the sky and being able to breathe

and not feeling that anxiety of a city or the possible rides coming down the streets.

And just, you know, there's an interesting thing I feel like in Montana.

You know, people mind their business basically.

Yes.

And keep to themselves. And I feel like in Montana you have to work your land you have to have a certain toughness during the winter and I think that's really cool so Montana is not a place where weak people go to live and I like to be surrounded by that energy by strong people yeah and so when me and my lawyer were talking about it, my family lawyer, he's such a wonderful man.
He was like, Gina, I think it's important that you get somewhere safe and take care of that first. And so I did.
And relocating your life, as I'm sure you've been through plenty of times in your life, it's not like an easy thing easy thing changing a job changing of a life perspective you know and then having to completely uproot and move your life and figure out where you belong um yeah all of that has been going on in the last two years and a lot of positive things too um i look at you know uh relationships and friendships and future different. You know, I could have ended up in New York and single at some point.
And now I really value a partnership and I really value a future with someone. And it's just like my whole, maybe that's just called maturity.
But I was a really late in maturity part. You were.
My little sister. You maturity part.
My little sister 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, well, I don't know about the kids part.
Did your spiritual perspective change? Oh, I've always been a Christian, but I never felt so much like a Christian as I do these last few years, and it just keeps growing. And, you know, I think that's something that makes people cringe, and I've seen that happen.
Why does it make people cringe when you say that? Well, I think, you know, religion and any type of, you know, it's been used so wrongly, you know, it's been used so aggressively and wrongly to persuade people in evil, you know, ways that are fake. And it's really turned people off because usually when people go to God or go to a place of God, they're searching because they're hurt and they're wounded.
And when you are hurt and wounded and then you get hurt and wounded by the person the people are a place that you feel is supposed to protect yes and be the safe place i think then then people just get really um angry at god and i don't think that it's god that maybe they're angry at it's at the experience experience. Yes, the people claiming to represent Him.
Yes, I really haven't been to church, an actual church, probably in 20 years. Yeah.
But I, in the last three years, have just grown so much closer and understanding. And so it was actually at that point where I said you know I was like god you know all these people are getting justice you know and I 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 more wrong that happened to so many other people and so I even felt like you know don't be a brat about this Gina like there's you know doctors and lawyers and police officers and nurses and you know this is like awful things are happening all around to everybody and so I just I started looking at my justice as you know starting over in Montana and being able to see the big sky and just being so grateful for my surroundings.
And then finally, it was really interesting when I finally got that out 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 and I never work again in this business, then okay, then I need to learn a different skill.
You know, I need to figure out what I'm going to do. And so I had to really let it go.
Genuinely, you know, genuinely let it go. Which isn't easy.
And a week later, well, yeah, that took years. I tried to pretend like I was there so many times, but to genuinely let that last inch of like, it's going to be okay and I'm going to give it to you.

And a week later, I got an email. A week later, I got an email from X.
And they said that they were some lawyers that were taking up cases that people had possibly been fired for speaking their opinion on on x and they'd like to hear my case so they approached you over email elon musk's lawyers just found you yeah i don't even said by the way we'd like to pay for your your case yeah well no oh no,'t go like 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 like some sort of scam so I like you know had my lawyers look into them to make sure my family lawyer um no I've never paid a dime to and he has just know, he's actually my brother's or my sister's husband's cousin. And here he is just like taking on like my problems just with a smile.
And I was like, do you think you can, you know, Will Lemko, by the way, I love you, Will. He's been such a wonderful person to me.
He was just like, these people are legit. These are actually legit lawyers.
Get back to them. And so I said, because Will believes in my case.
He just knew my personal circumstance was very difficult at the time and didn't have the money to pay for that. I needed to put that money into restarting life yes and so um uh he's like call them back and so or or email them back and i emailed them back immediately and i was like ready and ed edward trent who is um at the law firm just a incredible man he was like wow he was like we've emailed a lot of people and you got it back to us like it's like pretty fast you know and um and then from there on and the last you know i guess it's been that was before christmas and it's you know probably in november i think um they've we've just been like i'm sending them everything and i'm telling them my story and we're having long conversations and they're listening to everything that happened and then um you know i'm sending in them emails that transpired between me and disney and publicists and all the other people and i'm saying everything i've got and um they've they took that to x and Elon and said, we believe in this case.

Very much so.

Very much so.

And they presented it to X.

And then X is like, you know, they had to get the permission from them.

So I'm sure X has their lawyers looking through it. Because it's a completely different law firm.

Yes.

Retained by X. Yes.
So I'm sure X has their own people that are looking at it as well. So there's multiple eyes on this.
And then they had to take it to Elon and, you know, brief him on it. And then, you know, they came back and they said, we're taking it on.
Let's do this. We're going to write a complaint and we're going to file well i mean that's just an amazing story yeah hey it's ducker carlson thanks a lot for watching that conversation with gina carano who is a very cool person you may have noticed that a lot of the e-commerce sites online are run by people who don't share your values and may actually despise you creepy tech oligarchs first selling your data to the highest bidder, also selling you garbage from third world countries, not helping anyone but them.
But there is an alternative. There's a marketplace trying to change the way this works.
It's called Public Square. And it's got a new way of conducting e-commerce by connecting you with 80,000 small businesses who make things you can feel happy to buy.
Not guilty at all. You're working for good, not evil.
It's worth checking out. You can go to publicsquare.com slash Tucker.
I heard Elon say something, I read some statement where he said, well, anyone who's free speech on X has been used against them can have our lawyers look at it. But what do you, I mean.
And I responded to that, which I, you know, I didn't think that anything would ever come 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 think I qualify or something like that smiley face and, um, nothing happened for months.
And I was like, okay, well, you know, I didn't expect anything. So, and then when that happened and I got that email it's like it's one of those there's been a couple of those calls in my life or a couple of those moments in my life that I've just been like oh my gosh like I get a chance right now I get a fighting chance to clear my name to let the world know what happened here to you know the the world's a lot gone come a lot uh you know a long ways in three years a lot of information's come out yes so i i mean you shouldn't get fired for being ahead of the curve you know what i mean i shouldn't have gotten fired for you know talking about lockdowns and masks and encouraging that i was encouraging conversation you know i shouldn't have gotten fired for my so supposedly controversial tweets they were not controversial they were just they were just they were just having trouble with where i was coming from i think um i it's it's it's bewildering like it's mind-blowing what happened um so you have any idea why i mean even very rich people rarely pay for lawyers for strangers on principle i mean have you do you know why elon musk is doing this you know you know i've never even met him I've even spoken to him.
I think he's retweeted me once. And he's doing this not only for me in this big case.
He's doing this for many other people. And I think there's just, I think we're living in a time of such an incredible person that would be fighting for free speech on the biggest level.
I mean, if we did not have what Elon Musk is doing right now, so many of us would be in such deep trouble. Nations would be in trouble.
And I respect what he's doing, and I don't know why he's doing it you know i think that you know a lot of billionaires put their money into more selfish things and he's choosing to put his money into the defense of free speech and the defense of injustice and um i have to imagine you know i have to imagine that I had to do something with May Musk, his mother, because I follow her too. And I think, you know, how heartbreaking it's been for my family to watch me go through this hardship.
And I really wonder about the Musk family and what tough skin they must have had but what an incredibly classy woman that that woman is and i i love following her because i see this came from somewhere you know um and and yeah i just think what an incredible family that has burdened such a such a tough moment in time that I think that he will go down in history as one of the greats.

As will you, Tucker.

Well, I'm not doing anything like that.

I'm just talking on camera.

No, no.

That's a pretty generous thing to be doing for people you don't know.

Never even spoken to him.

I hope I get to thank him one day and shake his hand.

I don't know how you thank someone like this.

Thank you, Elon, for fighting this fight for so many of us.

I don't know anybody like this person, and i don't even know this person amazing so what what's the suit like and it goes without saying that we're fervently rooting for you and for justice in this case but tell us about the suit well my lawyers yeah um they said you know keep the lawyer talk to the lawyer talk right so i don't stick myself in any bad situation um so i kind of leave that up to them it's all on the complaint they filed the complaint um it's uh february 6th and disney now has a certain amount of time to respond to that complaint.

And so,

um,

yeah,

that's,

but basically the substance,

as I understand it,

you're fired unfairly in violation of the law and then defamed.

Tell us about the defamation.

Tell us what they did to you in more specific terms.

Well,

there is defamation. I'm not sure.
And if that's a legal claim. I mean, I should as well as a non-lawyer.
But they trashed you. They did.
They did. What they really did was they put out this awful.
So I put up a tweet that has become an infamous tweet of saying that. And I don't even know because I just put it up in like a story section i didn't post it i put it in like the you know quick everybody look through like the stories of the tweet because tweets used to have the fleet section and it was basically saying that it didn't start like uh you know nazi germany didn't start just with people just waking up being nazis and like you know demonizing you know like throwing

people jews into the concentration camps it didn't start there it started before that it started with propaganda it started with you know um you know you had to kind of start urging people to make it okay to um demonize your neighbor and hate people for whatever differences it was at at that time it was jewish people and um you know that's where it started and that's that's what made it so much easier for you know you're living in a house and then you know the nazis come and their next your next door neighbor is getting hauled off that you know maybe years before you guys were all having dinner and having this wonderful relationship and then it gradually happened it just wasn't something that happened just like that and that was what the meme meant to me was that I was trying to tell people now like don't demonize each other understand you know we're all human beings still and and you, basically just bad things have happened in the past and to learn from the past.

And I thought that was something that everyone, Democrats, Republicans, independents, that everybody could understand and get. I thought that was a tweet for everybody.
and the um the hollywood press and every you know major news and media that they came against me and

they said she just she compared republicans to the jewish community the jewish holocaust and um she's denigrating you know the jewish community and like wait so so you you came out against the nazis but they claimed you were pro-nazis they called me they smeared me as an

anti-semite smeared me and i was like wait i 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 like uh and then what disney did was they put out statement that said we are no longer working with her and there's there is a

statement did was they put out a statement that said um uh we are no longer working with uh there's there is a statement um we're not we're no longer working with gina carano um and we basically think that she's denigrating people off of their cultural and religious beliefs and she they said something about me being abhorrent and for your anti-nazi tweet.

eBay, things place for new, pre-loved, vintage, and rare fashion. eBay, things people love.
So you obviously know this since you worked in the business, but I mean, people who write about television and movies are directed to the word by the PR departments at the television and movie companies. Right.
So there's no independent press that writes about the movies or about television right even cable news you know what i mean yeah like the big cable news websites are all controlled by the pr departments right it's true in hollywood and that's really been um you know so i had my own um had hired my own publicist during you know uh season two of The Mandalorian. And they were working with the publicists from the Disney people.
And then they were working with the UTA, who dropped me immediately as well. Of course they do.
Your agent who's there fighting for you. Yeah, all of them.
And then the entertainment lawyer dropped me me of course and that the the funny thing is like the entertainment lawyer i think was uh they would constantly be sending out hey we're having this democrat you know um at my house come on over for you know raise some funds for the democrat you know party da da da or whoever the candidate was that they were you know and so all of these people just dropped me immediately and i was like people you'd been paying to stand by your side in case there was a big problem yeah the second there was a big problem they fled and denounced you yes immediately may they all rot and i was just like okay that's so much you know i mean i knew that like maybe something could happen where Disney would might be like hey you know um as professionals I thought maybe they'd just be okay well maybe we're gonna not work with you or maybe something like that could happen by speaking out um about the things that I spoke out about but I found the things that I spoke out about were so much more important than the career part because I felt like, you know, we needed to be talking about, we're headed in a really bad direction. Oh, yes.
You know, the lockdowns, the mask mandates, the vaccines, you know, I felt like we needed to, I never even said who I was really voting for. It was just, I was getting really pushed into this, like, you're an extremist.
You're an alt-right extremist, you know. And so I thought maybe that that could be an option.
But never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that they would have, through Twitter or through a publication, without even calling me. This is how I found out I was fired.
Online. On.
Like they didn't call me, they didn't say we're letting you go, we're no longer gonna work together, this is why. You know, it was just, she's denigrating people off of cultural and religious beliefs and she's abhorrent.
And I was like coming out against the nazis yeah yeah okay so backwards yeah and but again you know that when you get attacked in the hollywood trade press that's because the company you worked for directed those reporters right and i'm learning that more and more so now yeah you know when there's like a a piece uh that somebody writes about me um i go and i look up the journalist and i go and look up what other you know what i what other you know articles has this journalist written of course and you can almost just trace it back and a couple i traced right back to lucas foam and I was like, you there you guys you know you call up your people and uh you know it's ugly it's the most dishonest thing ever yeah and a reporter at the Hollywood Reporter or wherever yeah and it and it's all involved right it's the agencies it's the managers it's the um publicists it's the studios and it's just this big mafioso that um does not give the independent artist unless they're willing to comply and fit in 100 into that um ideologies and their narratives and be basically these manufactured robots you know um i mean I feel like there's the 1% of Hollywood

that can do what they want and say and think what they want,

and those are the very, very talented people.

But at the peak of my career, it was like,

I think they thought, let's make an example out of this one.

For sure.

She's an action actress.

She hasn't done drama yet.

She hasn't gotten there.

We'll make an example out of her and uh it had the complete opposite effect which was um just overwhelming support um uh it was pretty funny like as soon as they they were at the peak of their um stock market in february 2021 or no yeah in february 2021 and right when they fired me is when it started plummeting to what it is now and you know they're you're obviously very smart people and they're trying to salvage it but um people saw they saw what was going on in my case it was very obvious do your friends were still there yeah i you know everybody i worked physically with um i never had a problem with and uh you know like um you know me and paige are reconnected after um you know carl weathers passed away yes um and you know there's all these lies and all these weird stories and that people make up in their heads and you know one thing i can say is you know i adore pedro um and he said one thing to me he said you and Carl were protectors and and that means so much to me that he remembers me and our time together as me being a protector and um it's important like like people don't know what the real story is like why do you think Pedro's's calling me a protector to his fans i want i would you know there's a reason and there's stories that you don't know that happened and i was there and i and i protect people you know like uh there was a person multiple times that's just my nature is when you know there was a person who was wearing a mask on set and they were at their end they were over time and they were crying and they were upset and they couldn't do it anymore they just couldn't they were broken there was a broken person in that mask and I nobody was saying anything and I just simply went up to the director at the time and I said this person's done they're done they need that they're they need their um they need the contacts out they need the the thing off their head they need to breathe they're broken and um the director and I was like look I you know and I worked long longer hours than maybe probably any actor because my face was showing and i did all my own stunts so if you go back and you look at like the work records you're 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 list and i said i'll you know get my coverage tonight i know you guys it, you know, the next day, you can get my coverage tonight, you give this man a break. And I will, you know, I'll stay later and, you know, push my time.
And I'll show up early and you know, don't worry about it. But I've done that on numerous sets.
And that's, you know, because I do understand that do understand that like well i come from a fighter's

background and um and i want it and i wanted it so bad that i feel like i can i if i can have the

energy to push in i can do it and it crushes me when people are broken or hurting or being bullied

yes and which was my whole purpose of speaking out um you know in 2020 was just the weakest got bullied the most as always they a lot of people that you know i was usually very introverted i you know get really nervous for interviews although that's getting better um i get nervous for public speaking i get nervous for performing um but But when'm passionate when i mean something that's when i can speak and that's the only reason why i'm probably able to speak with you right now is because i have a clear heart about what happened i want the lawyers to look into it i want the professionals to see what happened and how ludicrous and absurd it was and um and i want things to change so that it doesn't happen to other people what's your next chapter well my next chapter is going to be i'm going to make a movie i'm going to produce and possibly direct it. I am going to I am gonna do it I'm gonna get it financed I don't know how yet but I'm gonna make some art and it's gonna be truly inclusive and I think that's gonna be a gift that that's that's where my heart has been I thought I was gonna get that a couple years ago with the daily wire I thought that was the path that was going to happen but I'm you know I think God's teaching me a lesson right now of how to um how to do this how to learn how to put this together and how to attract the people that you want to work with and um you know I I I lost my team when I got canceled you know so I didn't have anybody and so the rebuilding of a life and everything has been my focus in the last two years well I've I've rebuilt that now and you know there's still things that I need to you know do I need to rebuild my body you know a lot of stress and not working and you know know, depression and all of that.
I need to focus on my health. That's very, that's at 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 going to happen.
I think that's what I want to do is I want to direct and produce a movie and, um, start being more in control of getting my stories out there

that I like. I think being in control is a good thing at this point.
Yeah. I hope you'll come

back when you do that. Thank you.
