born on this day in nineteen sixtyfive. Iiserman was an all star Hall

(00:23):
of Fame center for the Detroit RedWings and he led them to three Stanley
Cup wins under I think they wereall under coach Scotti Bowman, and he

and all you hear about him isthat he is just a great guy.
Joe kind of like our guest today, Nick Searcy. He's not only one

(00:47):
of my favorite actors, appearing ineverything from Nell to Castaway, The Justified,
The Way Out, and everything inbetween, but also directing important movies
such as Godsnell, the Trial ofAmerica's Biggest serial killer. What you may
or may not know is that NickSearcy is a true patriot and he's here
to discuss the release of his upcomingdocumentary, The War on Truth, which

(01:12):
comes out May seventeenth, and youcan find out at the War ontruthmovie dot
Com that is the War on truthmoviedot com, saves Nick Searsy, Welcome

(01:46):
and thank you for being on theshow today. Thank you for having me.
It's nice to be here. Okay, I have to ask you this
before we get to the War onTruth on behalf of the many young sane
artists are in our circle. Howis it that you have maintained such a
prolific acting and directing career given yourproclivity not just to stand your ground,

(02:07):
Nick, but to reveal hidden truthand falsehoods. I really don't know.
Maybe they don't know who I am, Maybe they don't pay attention to you
conservative media. I don't know,but and I'm sure in some cases they
say, no, we don't wantto work with that guy. But you

(02:28):
know, I get enough worker.As I tell my wife, I have
too much work. I need tomake more people in Hollywood hate me because
it's that is a badge of honor, right right? Okay, Well,
speaking of revealing hidden truths, theWar on Truth is, for those who
don't know, is a sequel tothe twenty twenty one movie or documentary Capital

(02:51):
Punishment that you and director Chris Bergardput out, and just briefly, I
got to tell you that was verydifficul cult to get through, namely because
it revealed that our government was doingthe very things that it was instituted to
protect against. Does that make senseabsolutely. It's a movie that shows that

(03:15):
the government no longer respects our freedoms, our freedom of speech, or our
individual liberty. And I think thewar on truth, if you can imagine
it, is even more painful.It's more devastating because they are continuing that.
The reason we made the sequel isthat this suppression has not stopped.
They are continuing to arrest people,you know, every day, and Matthew

(03:39):
Graves at the Department of Justice hasannounced that they're going to arrest a thousand
more people and they're going to startfocusing on the people who never went in
the building. So this is notgoing to stop anytime soon unless enough outrage
is stored is caused that the peoplemake them stop it. I know,

(03:59):
as difficult it as it was forme to watch, I could see you
at times during Capital Punishment visibly shaken, and I'm wondering how you sat through
that or conducted the interviews, especiallywith the children. How did you get
through that? Well, it's youknow, it's difficult because you're listening to
people tell you their pain. Andthese are people that have not only been

(04:23):
demonized by the meet, by theDepartment of Justice and the FBI, They've
been demonized in the press. They'vebeen demonized in front of their neighbors.
The way these people have been covered, it's turned their neighborhoods against them,
their communities, and they've lost businessesand been unable to get a job.
I mean, they're literally trying todestroy these people's lives. It's very painful

(04:46):
to watch. And in the Waron truth, you'll see I mean,
we continue the story of many ofthe people in Capital Punishment and show them
going to jail for trespassing, sayinggoodbye to their children for six months because
they went in the building and atthe being invited into the building by the
police, documenting every second that theywere in the building, so you can

(05:11):
see that they didn't do anything violentand still going to jail and without due
process. No, without due process, yes, yeah, many of them
held without bond for over two yearsbefore they are then sentenced. Yes,
the very jurisprudence that I mean,it's upside down. That's what our founders

(05:31):
fought against. Frankly, so theWar on Truth then further reveals the sham.
I mean I call it a meticulouslyremade, manufactured insurrection. Yeah,
what else could it be? Itwas not an insurrection. I mean,
the insurrection was the fraud in theelection in twenty twenty. But you know

(05:56):
what it was, and we showevidence of it in our movie. Was
it was very much set up.It was very much orchestrated. It was
allowed to happen and cause to happen. I mean, if the National Guard
had been installed as Trump had askedfor, and as you know this,
none of this would have happened.And they wanted this to happen. We

(06:17):
interviewed Tarek Johnson, who was aCapitol policeman on that day, who says
that they were set up too,they didn't have enough reinforcements. And in
fact, Tarrek Johnson as a realhero. And it goes to my theory
that what they wanted to happen onJanuary sixth, they wanted something much worse.
They wanted it to be a bloodbaththat they could then blame on Trump

(06:41):
supporters and Trump and really have somethingto use as a weapon. But Tarrek
Johnson, on his own volition clearedthe house in the Senate after he knew
that people had been allowed into thebuilding, because he called his superiors on
the radio and said, you know, if these people come in the chamber,
we will have to open fire,and he never got an answer.

(07:03):
On his own volition, he clearedthe House and Senate because if he had
not done that, they would havehad a lot of deaths and not just
the four that they had, andthen they would have been allowed to declare
martial law and everything else that ensues. That history tells us a desperate government
does yes, and that in factof the matter is intelligence agencies have done

(07:27):
this kind of thing in other countries. Yes, in practicing for that day.
When I survey history, I lookat events like Operation Ajax, and
you don't need to get halfway throughthat book before you go, oh,
they're doing that here. Yeah,So it was just a matter of time.
I think that it was turned onus, on the government's own citizens.

(07:53):
Again, they're supposed to protect usfrom that very thing, and yet
here we are the victims of it. I also look at Nick the events
surrounding the Eddie Gallagher story. Idon't know if you know his story,
but he was a Navy seal thatand he's got a book out called In
the Arena, I believe, Andit was twenty sixteen, and they tried

(08:16):
to railroad him for something that hedidn't do. But in hindsight, they
were practicing. You know, yousee little snippets in history of them practicing
how far they can go? Howmuch would we comply in twenty twenty,
So you see them practicing throughout history, just how long suffering. As Jefferson

(08:37):
put it right, we're predisposed toincur abuse after abuse before we finally say
enough is enough. What they've shownis that their real enemies are not foreign,
you know. The enemies of thisadministration are the American citizens that have
refused to support them, that opposethem. That is their true enemy.
Biden comes out and says it thenumber one, number one terrorist threat in

(09:01):
America's white supremacy. And I sawsome statistic the other day that like seventeen
people were killed by white supremacists inAmerica last year, and sixteen were killed
by vending machines. So you know, by saying that what he's saying is
that anyone who disagrees with the Democratsis a white supremacist, and that is

(09:22):
the biggest threat to this country whenyou look at the entities and other groups,
whether it's veterans, pro lifers.We were homeschoolers, we were put
on that list at one point.We're the radical people who think for ourselves
and educate our children to think forthemselves and to think critically. And I

(09:43):
want to say, we're the verypeople you went on your side when the
Bantha fodder hits the fan. It'sinteresting that they want to demonize and in
prison the people that would defend thiscountry. There's only one reason for that.
Yes, they want the country tofail. Yeah, that is what
they want. And they are attackingthe people that stand up for the Constitution

(10:07):
and that stand up for individual liberty, and those people must be destroyed.
And that's what they systematically, that'swhat they're doing. By treating these people
the way that they're doing, they'renot only punishing them, they're sending a
message. They're sending a message offear and intimidation to the rest of the
country, saying do you want towind up like these people do? You

(10:28):
want this to happen to you.If you don't, then do what we
say and don't resist us. Well, I have to tell you, I
know that. I think it wasSamuel Adams that said it doesn't take a
majority, it takes a tireless minorityto succeed. And I just I'm not
quite sure what that attribute of manis that says no, that refuses to

(10:52):
comply. If I could find itand clone it, I might change my
mind about human cloning. But whatis it about Nick Searcy or some one
else who says, no, I'mnot going to wear a mask, No,
I'm not going to do this.And I'm hoping that Capital Punishment,
the War on Truth, that thesemovies will help inspire, but also in

(11:13):
part and rage people, because youknow, we're living in an upside down
culture, in a two tier justicesystem, and the toughest part is to
get the people on the other sideto even consider what I'm saying. You
know, I had to. Ihad an agent for a long time,
and when Capital Punishment came out,I asked him one day, I said,

(11:35):
what did you think about it?And he said, I'm not watching
that. I said, you won'teven watch it, and he said,
no, that was an insurrection thatday, and I don't want to hear
anything else. And I said,well, I guess I can't have you
as my agent. Then so fired. But that's what you're up against,
is like they are so afraid ofhaving their worldview challenged or having something come

(11:56):
along that might contradict the thing thatthey have been, the things that they
have been propagandized with that they don'tthey just don't want to consider it.
They're afraid to watch it. That'sthe biggest struggle is the brainwashing is real,
and they're afraid to have their brainwashing, their programming undone. Well,
they're not taught that iron sharpens ironand that they can be wrong right.

(12:20):
And unfortunately, in this culture,we have equated disagreement with hate or disagreement
with you know, you don't loveme, or you know, whatever the
case may be, which is justintellectually slothful, and it's almost embarrassing.
You know, in high school,they used to teach all the ideologies,
Emmanuel Kant or Marx, all ofthem so that you could be a critical

(12:46):
thinker and dive down rabbit holes andnot be offended. I don't know,
where this I can't be offended thingcame from. I mean, I grew
up in an Italian family. Goodlord, if that were today, right,
my grandmother would a you know,good lord knows what she would have
done. But I don't understand.You know, we're very soft, yeah,

(13:07):
very soft. And also I'm probablyI'm a bit older than you.
But I mean I grew up ata time when you know, there were
slogans like question authority. Yes.You know, it was like, you
know, in the sixties and seventies, it was like the idea of trusting
the government was just so like uncool. What happened It's like, all of

(13:28):
a sudden, like these young peopletoday they come out of these universities and
it's like, we're going to dowhat the government says, and if you
don't, you're evil. And it'slike, what, what in the hell
what happened to these people? Idon't know about you, but I get
so frustrated with these you know,the Neil young types who used to be
sticking to the man and now they'restick it in my arm. You know,
it's just it's inconsistent. Well,I think in many cases, I

(13:52):
mean, you have this celebrity culture, and they are being so richly rewarded
by the status quo that they don'twant to do anything that might, you
know, upset their position. AndI've gotten really like conspiracy theory minded,
but I think a lot of thesepeople are compromised, and not just the

(14:13):
celebrities, but a lot of ourpoliticians. I think that's why a lot
of Republicans just behave in such adifferent way after they're elected. I believe
somebody comes to them and just goes, look, we have this information about
you. We just want you toknow that we have it. Just keep
that in mind as you go forward. And you know, I think that

(14:35):
we are in a situation where ourgovernment has been so thoroughly corrupted, and
almost every institution in our country hasbeen so thoroughly corrupted, that I don't
really know what the way out is. It's going to be a long march
back because they've spent decades building tothis point. We call that bob bribed
or blackmailed? Which one are you? We just ask for consistency to honor

(15:00):
your oath, and whether they likeit or not, their oath is to
keep us free. It's not evento keep us safe. First, it's
the enumerated power of an army,which serendipitously achieves both, right, but
it's the army was to keep usfree from foreign invasion. And other than
Thomas Massey, who has read inCongress the Constitution, he seems to be

(15:24):
the consistent one. Yeah, hedoes. And you know when you see
people like Mike Johnson, the wayhe's behaved after he became speaker. Before
he became speaker, he was like, wow, he sounds great. And
then he gets there and he givesthem everything they want. He gives in
to every demand, and it's like, we don't have a voice anymore.

(15:46):
They are lucy with the football.Yes, is the way I describe it.
And how many times are you goingto fall for that? And to
your point, what is the tippingpoint? And hopefully movies like Capital Punish
Wishment or documentaries and the War onTruth bring us to that tipping point.
And I think there are reasonable solutionsbecause we are reasonable people. Yeah.

(16:11):
The only unreasonable people here are ouropponents. So I think that's why people
are long suffering. Yeah, andit you know, every day there's more
news that is very upsetting. Imean, even I think it was yesterday
that Trump announced that he's in favorof building a new FBI building in the
city of Washington. And it's like, okay, wait a minute. You're

(16:33):
supposed to be the one that opposesthis nonsense. You're supposed to be the
one that understands what the FBI hasbecome. And you'll see in our movie
and The War on Truth, whatthe FBI is doing to these people.
And you want to give them moremoney, you want to build them a
new building, you want to givethem more power. It's insane. Yeah,
I agree, and our Congressman bradWinstrup voted for that, voted for

(16:56):
that measure. Unfortunately, it doesn'tmake a lot of sense, and it's
inconsistent. No, and it's someonesaid, oh, he's playing three D
chess, and I said, that'snot what this is. This is inviting
people to your pool party and thenpublicly peeing in the pool before asking them
to jump in. Yeah, he'spoisoning the well among his own supporters.

(17:19):
I mean, for someone who's beenas abused by the judicial system as Trump
has been, yes, or tostand up for the FBI, that is
inexplicable. I cannot explain that Idon't know. I don't know where that
comes from. It's flu mixing atbest. Nick, I know you're a
on a hard break. I wantto ask you if you were teaching a

(17:42):
course for the entertainment industry. Idon't know what you take in the entertainment
industry. I'm not in it.But again, on behalf of the young
people in our circle that are goodsaying young people and when they're pair parents,
you know, they just kind offreak out because that's a that's a

(18:03):
hard industry, especially if you're youngand saying at this point, and the
answer from a lot of them islegitimate, which is, we've got young
people who have left industries healthcare,education, and the entertainment industry, and

(18:23):
that's part of why they're all amess. What advice would you give to
those young people. Don't be afraid, stand up for yourself, do what
you know is right in your heart. Don't be afraid of these people.
These people are bullies. What theytry to do is run you out,
make you shut your mouth, orwe'll run you out. And you know,

(18:45):
if anything, if my life hasany you know, meaning, as
an example, it's like I've continuedto work, I mean, and I
don't think in my case it wasso much courage as it was just I
was naive. I didn't know Iwas supposed to keep my mouth shut about
what I thought until it was toolate and everybody knew. So then I

(19:07):
just had to go go with it, you know. And I think in
my case, you know, Ihave friends in the business that disagree with
me, but they respect me,and you know, we work together,
and you know, sometimes there's alittle joking back and forth. But you
know, I would just advise thesepeople stop letting the bullies make you afraid,
stand up to them, say whatyou believe, stand up for your

(19:30):
truth, you know, because whatthey're trying to make you do is be
quiet while they lie. That isthe whole point, and that was the
whole point of the COVID mess,to drum out everybody in all these institutions,
in the medical profession, in thearmy and the military, drum out
everybody who wouldn't take the shot,because those people are not going to be

(19:53):
compliant. And so that is that'smy advice, is just stop fearing them,
stop giving them the power to silenceyou. Amen. I can't end
any better than that. Other thanto say I was brought up that there's
only one way to deal with thebully, and that is to stand up
to them. Yeah. If whatthe bully bully does work, they're gonna

(20:15):
keep doing it exactly, exactly.Okay, Nick Searsly, I can't thank
you enough for being here today.Can't wait to see the movie and take
care and God bless thank you somuch. The it was great, great
to meet you. Okay, NickSearcy. Everyone. I didn't think I
could like him anymore than I alreadydid Joe, But here we are,

(20:37):
all right. The War ontruthmovie dotcom the War on truthmovie dot Com where
you can find viewing information, youcan find information about trailers, merchandise,
you can become an affiliate to helpthem get the word out. I think
Chris Bergard mentioned in the previous innerView that Capital Punishment was one of the

(21:02):
most censored documentaries ever. So thisis something you can do. You know,
we talk often about people's comfort zone. Of course, we'd like to
always expand the comfort zone. Butyou know, you don't have to do
what I do, or Nick Searcyor your neighbor or whatever. This is

(21:25):
something very simple that you can do. You can forward a link to this
movie, and I would encourage everyoneto do so, especially to people with
whom you may disagree, because it'sreasonable to consider all sides of an argument,

(21:45):
especially with video evidence from witnesses,from law enforcement, from government officials.
So that's something you can do.You have agency if you are the
least bit unnerved about what has takenplace, especially over the last four years,

(22:07):
forget the last twenty years. Youdon't you know we have to deal
with right now. That is somethingyou can do that is benign. Frankly,
you can send it with Hey,I thought this was an interesting documentary,
something interesting to consider whatever. Sowe do have agency. And if

(22:33):
you go to the War Ontruthmovie dotcom, they will show you again.
You can become an affiliate and theywill also give you viewing information. I
believe it's going to be on hisGlory dot TV, and I believe it
will also be on Rumble, butof course we love his Glory dot TV.

(22:57):
So I want to thank everybody forlistening today and please consider helping spread
the word about this Part two,The War on Truth Movie again Part two
to Capital Punishment, and I highlysuggest people watch that as well. It's
not easy, but you know neitheris keeping the republic. So again,

(23:22):
thank you for listening. Thank youas always to magic Man Joe Strecker until
next time, who will stand ateither hand and keep the bridge with me.
Have a great day.
