Life is long and weird, and the longer it is, the weirder it gets.
You may 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 big Hollywood films like Fast and Furious.
Then in 2019, not that long ago, she got one of the biggest roles of her career.
She was on a Disney show called The Mandalorian.
In case you didn't see it, here she is.
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.
Yes.
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 are the twists that your life has taken since?
Because I think it tells us a lot.
Well, I went to the Daily Wire after the cancellation.
Daily Wire in Nashville?
Yes.
And 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.
Say, hey, we'll do a movie with you.
Come on out and 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 going to shoot a movie there.
We didn't shoot it there.
We ended up shooting up in Montana, Prairie, Montana.
What a great town that is.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I love Montana.
Yeah.
And so we shot this $2 million Western movie during, like, you know, the time where SAG-AFTRA
was starting to mandate the vaccines and COVID tests and masks.
And, you know, I just said to the Daily Wire, gave me the, you know, the option, you know,
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, you know, 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 vax, 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 $2 million 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 going to do that.
I mean, you know, Disney didn't, I mean, I wasn't, I didn't cave to Disney.
You know what I mean?
I'm not going to like go to Nashville and be like, okay.
I was so grateful, by the way, for the opportunity, you know, that they offered me.
But it just, when I got there, it was just two different options that I thought, I didn't
think that that was what I was showing up to.
But they did, you know, they were like, okay, then let's go up and let's make this Western
for $2 million.
It made it definitely a lot more difficult.
It's kind of funny online and on IMDb, they say it's, we shot it for $75 million.
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, you know, 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 I ended up being a really good film, Terror on the Prairie.
I think there could have been, you know, adjustments made that made it better.
But I'm, I love the performances in it.
I love the people that made it.
Dallas Sonier is a wonderful producer.
I loved working with him.
And so I had a, you know, a really good time.
So what'd you do after that?
I disappeared.
I think, you know, I knew that after getting canceled and fired, I knew that like, even
during the Daily, even during that Daily Wire kind of Terror on the Prairie stint, I was
wounded, like a broken animal.
And I, I'm not sure if you experienced the same thing after what happened with you and
Fox, but I, 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.
You know.
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 go forward,
right?
Yeah, have to.
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 for two years, I've been, you know, in this, you know, kind of desert, you know,
kind of, you know, like wondering, 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, you know, 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, uh, 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, um, an employee.
Yes.
I don't know what is.
So it's my fault, uh, 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, uh, 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.
Yes.
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.
Um, besides my fighting career.
Yeah.
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, 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, uh, it bothered me.
It's like people forcing masks on each other.
And I, I, and, and, you know, intrinsic intrinsically new lockdowns are going to be
devastating to people.
This is, you know, coming from a person who has, you know, been on and off work.
I know what it's like to not work for a year and work for three years and not to work.
And when you take away that consistency, it does such an emotional, mental, spiritual
thing on you that, um, 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, um, you know, deaths
and I've lost two friends to overdoses, um, you know, one to turbo cancer.
I've lost so, 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 nother subject.
But it, it does make me feel like, um, I was, I stood up for the right thing.
I'm not sorry I did.
It hasn't made things easy, but, um, yeah, I was, uh, so I did try to go and talk to
a lawyer.
And 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 cause my life was not safe there, at least where
I was at.
And, you know, it's pretty expensive to live in LA and, and so it's either like moving
to keep, 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.
Um, and so then I just kept on going and I ended up in Montana.
How'd 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, um, the possible riots coming down the streets.
And just, you know, there's an interesting thing I feel like in Montana, uh, you know,
people mind their business basically.
Yes.
And keep to themselves.
And, um, I feel like in Montana you have to work and your land, you have to be, have
a certain toughness during the winter.
And I think that's really cool.
So, you know, Montana is not a place where weak people go to live.
And I like to be surrounded by, by that energy.
By strong people.
Yeah.
And so when I, me and my lawyer were talking about it, my family lawyer, and he's such
a wonderful man.
He was like, Gina, you know, I think it's important that you get somewhere safe and
take care of that first.
And so I did and, and relocating your life as I'm sure you've been through plenty of
times in your life is, you know, it's not like an easy thing, but 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.
Um, 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 is a lot, 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, you know, I don't know
about the kids part, but.
Did your spiritual perspective change?
Oh, it, 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, um, you know, I, I think that's something that makes people cringe and, uh, I've seen
that happen, but.
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, some, it's been used so aggressively and wrongly to persuade people in evil, you
know, ways that are fake and, um, it's, it's, 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 or a place that you feel is supposed to protect and be the safe place, I think
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, you know?
Yes.
And so.
The people claiming to represent him.
Yeah.
So I really haven't been to church, an actual church, um, probably in 20 years.
Yeah.
Um, 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, you know, like there's,
you know, doctors and lawyers and police officers and nurses.
And yeah, 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.
Um, I tried to, 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,
um, were some lawyers that, um, were taking up cases that people had possibly been fired,
um, 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 know how they got-
And 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 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, it's some sort of scam.
So I like, you know, had my lawyers look into them to make sure, uh, my family lawyer, um,
no, I've never paid a dime to, and he has just, you know, he's actually my brother's
or my sister's, um, husband's, uh, cousin.
And here he is just like taking on like my problems just with a smile.
And, and I was like, do you think you can, you know, well, Will Lemco, by the way, I,
I love you, Will.
Um, he's been such a wonderful person to me.
He, he was just like, these people are legit.
These are actually legit lawyers, get back to them.
And so I said, because Will, Will believes in my case.
He just knew my, my personal circumstance was very difficult at the time.
And, you know, didn't have the money to pay for that.
Yeah.
Um, 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, and Ed, Edward Trent, who is, um, at the law firm, just an incredible man.
He was like, wow.
He was like, we've emailed a lot of people and you got it back to us.
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 was, 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 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, they took that to X and Elon and said, we believe in this case very much.
So very much.
So, um, and they presented it to X and then X was like, you know, you have to, 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.
Um, so there's multiple eyes on this.
And then, um, 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.
I mean, that's just an amazing story.
Yeah.
Hey, it's Tucker 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 and foremost, 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, or read some statement where he said, well, you know,
anyone whose free speech on X has been used against them.
Right.
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.
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 nothing happened for months.
And I was like, okay, well, no, I didn't expect anything.
So, and then when that happened and I got that email, it was 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 world's a lot gone, come a lot, you know, a long ways in three years,
a lot of information's come out.
Yes.
So, 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 having trouble with where I was coming from.
I think it's bewildering.
Like, it's mind-blowing what happened.
Do you have any idea why, I mean, even very rich people
rarely pay for lawyers for strangers on principle?
I mean, do you know why Elon Musk is doing this?
You know, I've never even met him.
I've never 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 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 woman is.
And I love following her because I see this came from somewhere, you know.
And yeah, I just think what an incredible family
that has burdened 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.
That's a pretty generous thing to be doing for people you don't know.
I've 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.
It's just, I don't know anybody like this person.
And I don't even know this person.
Amazing.
So 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.
They said, you know, keep the lawyer talk to the lawyer talk, right?
So I don't stick myself in any bad situation.
So I kind of leave that up to them.
It's all on the complaint.
They filed the complaint.
It's February 6th.
And Disney now has a certain amount of time to respond to that complaint.
Yes.
And so, 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.
If that's a legal claim.
I mean, I should as well as a non-lawyer keep the...
But they trashed you.
They did.
What they really did was they put out this awful...
So I put up a tweet that has become 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,
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, you know,
you had to kind of start urging people to make it okay to demonize your neighbor
and hate people for whatever differences it was.
At that time, it was Jewish people.
And, you know, that's where it started.
And 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 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, you know, 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 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 she's denigrating, you know, the Jewish community and like.
Right, so 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?
And why did people believe in it?
But, you know, like, and then what Disney did was they put out a statement that said,
we are no longer working with, there is a statement,
we're no longer working with Gina Carano.
And we basically think that she's denigrating people off of their cultural
and religious beliefs.
And they said something about me being abhorrent.
And.
For your anti-Nazi tweet.
Yeah.
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.
Mm hmm.
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, you know, so I had my own,
I had hired my own publicist during, you know, season two of The Mandalorian.
And they were working with the publicist from the Disney people.
And then they were working with the UTA who dropped me immediately as well.
Of course they do.
Uh huh.
And then.
Your agent who's there fighting for you.
Yeah, all of them.
I mean, and then the entertainment lawyer.
Yeah.
Dropped me.
Of course.
And the funny thing is like the entertainment lawyer, I think was,
they would constantly be sending out, hey, we're having this Democrat,
you know, at my house, come on over for, you know,
raise some funds for the Democrat, you know, party, dah, dah, dah,
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've 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,
as professionals, I thought maybe they'd just be like, okay, well, maybe
we're going to not work with you or maybe something like that could happen
by speaking out 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.
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 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 Twitter.
They didn't call me.
They didn't say we're letting you go.
We're no longer going to work together.
And this is why, you know, it was just she's denigrating people
off of cultural and religious beliefs, and she's abhorrent.
For coming out against the Nazis.
Yeah, yeah.
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.
Now, you know, when there's like a piece that somebody writes about me,
I go and I look up the journalist and I go and look up what other, you know,
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 Lucasfilm.
And I was like, you know, right there, you guys, you know, you call up your people and,
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's all involved, right?
It's the agencies.
It's the managers.
It's the publicists.
It's the studios.
And it's just this big mafioso that does not give the independent artist unless they're
willing to comply and fit in 100% into that ideologies and their narratives and
be basically these manufactured robots.
You know, 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, you know, I think they thought,
let's make an example out of this one.
For sure.
She's an action actress.
You know, she hasn't done, you know, drama yet.
She hasn't gotten there.
We'll make an example out of her.
And it had the complete opposite effect, which was just overwhelming support.
It was pretty funny.
Like, as soon as they, they were at the peak of their stock market ever 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 obviously very smart people and they're trying to salvage it.
But people saw, they saw what was going on.
In my case, it was very obvious.
Do you have friends who are still there?
Yeah.
You know, everybody I worked physically with, I never had a problem with.
And, you know, like, you know, me and Paige are reconnected after, you know,
Carl Weathers passed away.
Yes.
And, you know, there is all these lies and all these weird stories in that people make
up in their heads.
And, you know, one thing I can say is, you know, I adore Pedro.
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 it's important, like, like, people don't know what the real story is.
Like, why do you think Pedro is calling me a protector?
To his fans, I want, 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, 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're overtime and they're 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 their, they need the contacts out.
They need the thing off their head.
They need to breathe.
They're broken.
And the director, and I was like, look, I, you know, and I worked 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 wanted to do 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 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 have, if I can have the energy to push it and 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.
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 when I'm passionate and 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 do it.
I'm going to get it financed.
I don't know how yet.
Um, but I'm going to make some art and it's going to be truly inclusive.
And, um, I think that's going to be a gift that that's, that's where my heart has been.
I thought I was going to get that a couple of 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, 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 giving, getting my stories out there that I, that I like.
I think being in control is a good thing at this point.
Yeah.
Well, I hope you'll come back when you do that.
Thank you.
Thank you so much, Tucker.
It's such a great story and I'm glad to see you thriving.
