3
00:00:23,649 --> 00:00:26,694
- The Shadowland project
is really an examination
4
00:00:26,736 --> 00:00:30,531
of how people come
to believe in conspiracies...
5
00:00:30,573 --> 00:00:32,658
- What do you think
she was looking for?
6
00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:35,119
- What makes
conspiracy theories alluring?
7
00:00:35,161 --> 00:00:39,415
- And what that can mean
for the future of the nation.
8
00:00:39,457 --> 00:00:41,292
- A line's been drawn
in the sand.
9
00:00:41,334 --> 00:00:43,461
- They want to destroy America.
10
00:00:43,503 --> 00:00:46,589
- We've never seen conspiracy
theories move from the margins
11
00:00:46,631 --> 00:00:47,965
into the mainstream discourse
12
00:00:48,007 --> 00:00:50,927
the way they have over
the last five or six years.
13
00:00:50,968 --> 00:00:54,055
- There are wealthy,
powerful families
14
00:00:54,097 --> 00:00:57,475
that want
to control everything.
15
00:00:57,517 --> 00:01:00,561
- We see families
who feel torn apart
16
00:01:00,603 --> 00:01:03,022
because they have
different world views.
17
00:01:03,064 --> 00:01:06,567
- He'd make me laugh a lot.
18
00:01:06,609 --> 00:01:10,488
That all left
once he got into Q
19
00:01:10,530 --> 00:01:12,990
and conspiratorial thinking.
20
00:01:13,658 --> 00:01:17,829
- It really has become,
sad to say, us and them.
21
00:01:22,333 --> 00:01:24,293
[crowd cheering]
22
00:01:24,335 --> 00:01:27,547
- January 6th,
an entire insurrection,
23
00:01:27,588 --> 00:01:30,466
you know, the almost-overthrow
of the United States government
24
00:01:30,508 --> 00:01:33,511
happened because
large numbers of people
25
00:01:33,553 --> 00:01:35,722
are susceptible
to conspiracy theories.
26
00:01:38,725 --> 00:01:45,398
* *
27
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,817
- I know you guys
are gonna take this,
28
00:01:47,859 --> 00:01:49,402
and you're gonna spin it
to make me look like
29
00:01:49,444 --> 00:01:51,404
a crazy conspiracy theorist.
30
00:01:51,446 --> 00:01:54,449
- I mean, you guys have spent
three days with me.
31
00:01:54,490 --> 00:01:57,702
You feel
I'm a danger to society?
32
00:01:57,744 --> 00:02:00,955
* *
33
00:02:00,997 --> 00:02:03,458
- The strings are being pulled
by a puppet master.
34
00:02:03,499 --> 00:02:05,460
He's pulling the strings
on both sides.
35
00:02:05,501 --> 00:02:10,548
- I used to laugh so hard
at conspiracy theorists,
36
00:02:10,590 --> 00:02:13,176
and then I started seeing it
on the inside.
37
00:02:13,217 --> 00:02:16,971
* *
38
00:02:17,013 --> 00:02:20,141
- My belief is that this
was completely 100% planned.
39
00:02:20,183 --> 00:02:25,021
- They use the coronavirus
as their Trojan horse
40
00:02:25,063 --> 00:02:30,318
to usher in
whatever the hell they wanted!
41
00:02:30,359 --> 00:02:34,530
* *
42
00:02:34,572 --> 00:02:36,532
- When people play around
43
00:02:36,574 --> 00:02:38,534
with these ridiculous
conspiracy theories,
44
00:02:38,576 --> 00:02:41,662
the result of it
has been violence.
45
00:02:41,704 --> 00:02:44,165
- We were really
interested in exploring
46
00:02:44,207 --> 00:02:46,209
the real systems behind, like,
47
00:02:46,250 --> 00:02:48,461
why conspiracy thinking
happens.
48
00:02:48,503 --> 00:02:51,464
- The cabal, the illuminati,
49
00:02:51,506 --> 00:02:53,424
they don't want you
to find the truth.
50
00:02:53,466 --> 00:02:56,302
I'm not a "pay-triot," P-A-Y.
51
00:02:56,344 --> 00:02:58,388
I'm a patriot.
52
00:02:58,429 --> 00:02:59,722
- There's something else
going on,
53
00:02:59,764 --> 00:03:01,599
something in the shadows.
54
00:03:01,641 --> 00:03:04,268
- The Nazis aren't coming.
They're here.
55
00:03:04,310 --> 00:03:07,397
- The goal of the project
is to bring what's happening
56
00:03:07,438 --> 00:03:10,274
in the shadows
out into the sunlight.
57
00:03:10,316 --> 00:03:11,943
- We're at war
because the rule of law
58
00:03:11,984 --> 00:03:14,070
in this country
has been eliminated!
59
00:03:14,112 --> 00:03:17,073

63
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,643
- Police arrested
two McKean County residents
64
00:04:27,685 --> 00:04:30,354
in connection with the riot
at the U.S. Capitol.
65
00:04:30,396 --> 00:04:34,358
William Blauser Jr. of Ludlow
and Pauline Bauer of Kane
66
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,069
face several charges.
67
00:04:36,110 --> 00:04:39,155
- After their arraignment,
they were released on bond.
68
00:04:39,197 --> 00:04:43,034
* *
69
00:04:43,076 --> 00:04:46,829
- We will--
you and I will endure.
70
00:04:46,871 --> 00:04:50,500
- Guess I don't have a problem
dying for my country.
71
00:04:50,541 --> 00:04:53,169
Just don't want to be
incarcerated.
72

75
00:05:17,485 --> 00:05:18,945
- I think you took
my poached egg one.
76
00:05:18,986 --> 00:05:21,155
- Yeah, I did,
because the guy wanted...
77
00:05:21,197 --> 00:05:23,699
- All right,
what's our list look like?
78
00:05:23,741 --> 00:05:26,661
[phone rings]
Hey.
79
00:05:28,538 --> 00:05:32,333
I would love to,
but I got more important things
80
00:05:32,375 --> 00:05:34,627
I gotta take care of right now,
81
00:05:34,669 --> 00:05:36,879
'cause I have
my hearing on Friday,
82
00:05:36,921 --> 00:05:39,674
and I won't be able
to make it tonight,
83
00:05:39,716 --> 00:05:42,510
'cause I have to get stuff
packed up and head out
84
00:05:42,552 --> 00:05:44,053
by tomorrow morning.
85
00:05:46,347 --> 00:05:47,765
You know,
I would love to come
86
00:05:47,807 --> 00:05:50,101
and hang out
with you guys again, but...
87
00:05:52,228 --> 00:05:54,105
If I don't go to jail...
88
00:05:55,982 --> 00:05:58,359
Okay, I will.
Thanks, Leo.
89
00:05:58,401 --> 00:05:59,819
Mm-hmm. Bye-bye.
90
00:06:05,116 --> 00:06:08,953
Pizza business
I learned from my husband.
91
00:06:08,995 --> 00:06:12,373
My husband had worked at
pizza shops since he was 16.
92
00:06:12,415 --> 00:06:13,916
Then he taught me.
93
00:06:13,958 --> 00:06:15,960
He taught me,
and he goes fishing now.
94
00:06:16,002 --> 00:06:16,961
[laughs]
95
00:06:23,176 --> 00:06:24,761
- If you know Pauline,
96
00:06:24,802 --> 00:06:26,971
you know
what a good person she is.
97
00:06:27,013 --> 00:06:29,057
She's done a lot
for the community
98
00:06:29,098 --> 00:06:31,726
that a lot of people
don't realize.
99
00:06:41,694 --> 00:06:43,780
- I mean, yeah,
people are prayin'
100
00:06:43,821 --> 00:06:46,783
and thinkin' about me
all the time, and I mean,
101
00:06:46,824 --> 00:06:50,453
I just got that bear up there.
102
00:06:50,495 --> 00:06:52,330
[soft music]
103
00:06:52,371 --> 00:06:56,334
I grew up on a farm
in Gibsonia, Pennsylvania.
104
00:06:56,375 --> 00:06:58,336
It was hard work.
105
00:06:58,378 --> 00:07:00,797
But it's what shaped me into--
106
00:07:00,838 --> 00:07:03,925
where my work ethic came from.
107
00:07:05,802 --> 00:07:09,472
I worked 18 years for Kmart,
108
00:07:09,514 --> 00:07:13,393
and I lost my entire retirement
109
00:07:13,434 --> 00:07:19,232
when the stock went from
$30 to $5 a share overnight.
110
00:07:19,273 --> 00:07:21,692
So at that point,
111
00:07:21,734 --> 00:07:24,779
I said I will never work
for anyone else again.
112
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,909
I came here
with my husband in 2005.
113
00:07:29,951 --> 00:07:32,370
We really wanted to move here.
114
00:07:32,412 --> 00:07:35,331
So we found this for sale,
115
00:07:35,373 --> 00:07:40,169
and we ended up buying
the restaurant.
116
00:07:40,211 --> 00:07:41,921
When we got started,
117
00:07:41,963 --> 00:07:46,384
we had close to $50,000
in credit card debt,
118
00:07:46,426 --> 00:07:48,803
and we worked very hard.
119
00:07:48,845 --> 00:07:51,013
I had three years left
120
00:07:51,055 --> 00:07:53,349
until everything
was completely paid off
121
00:07:53,391 --> 00:07:55,101
when the pandemic hit.
122
00:07:55,143 --> 00:07:56,352
[ominous music]
123
00:07:56,394 --> 00:07:58,563
- This virus
has just exploded throughout
124
00:07:58,604 --> 00:08:00,189
the state
of Pennsylvania.
125
00:08:00,231 --> 00:08:05,319
- I believed at first
that it was an actual pandemic.
126
00:08:05,361 --> 00:08:10,116
We had cleaned this restaurant
top to bottom with bleach,
127
00:08:10,158 --> 00:08:14,203
and a lot of my employees
were overwhelmed.
128
00:08:14,245 --> 00:08:19,041
It was a stressful, stressful
time to be a business owner.
129
00:08:19,083 --> 00:08:21,794
- New restrictions
announced in the last hour
130
00:08:21,836 --> 00:08:24,088
for the entire state
of Pennsylvania.
131
00:08:24,130 --> 00:08:26,674
- All non-life-sustaining
businesses in the state
132
00:08:26,716 --> 00:08:28,509
must close.
133
00:08:28,551 --> 00:08:30,553
* *
134
00:08:30,595 --> 00:08:36,893
- Everything started to change
on March 17th of 2020.
135
00:08:36,934 --> 00:08:43,316
The 17th is when they told them
that startin' tomorrow,
136
00:08:43,357 --> 00:08:44,525
you're shut down.
137
00:08:44,567 --> 00:08:47,612
You cannot--you can't be open.
138
00:08:48,905 --> 00:08:51,240
So of course, she complied.
She shut down.
139
00:08:53,034 --> 00:08:56,454
- At that time, I seriously
thought I was gonna lose
140
00:08:56,496 --> 00:08:58,289
everything I ever worked for.
141
00:08:58,331 --> 00:09:01,250
[tense music]
142
00:09:01,292 --> 00:09:05,755
* *
143
00:09:10,510 --> 00:09:14,889
- She was a lot different.
144
00:09:14,931 --> 00:09:17,100
She was not political.
145
00:09:17,141 --> 00:09:20,603
She liked
going more on her boat
146
00:09:20,645 --> 00:09:22,814
and doing things like that,
147
00:09:22,855 --> 00:09:26,275
instead of going
to these rallies.
148
00:09:26,317 --> 00:09:28,903
Then she started
into the politics.
149
00:09:28,945 --> 00:09:31,114
She started on her cell phone,
150
00:09:31,155 --> 00:09:33,449
goin' into things,
lookin' things up.
151
00:09:33,491 --> 00:09:36,619
* *
152
00:09:36,661 --> 00:09:39,914
- I started to get involved
153
00:09:39,956 --> 00:09:42,834
with researching
the coronavirus.
154
00:09:42,875 --> 00:09:44,794
- Welcome, everyone.
155
00:09:44,836 --> 00:09:46,921
Log onto social media,
and you'll probably find
156
00:09:46,963 --> 00:09:48,047
some of your friends sharing
157
00:09:48,089 --> 00:09:51,175
wild COVID-19
conspiracy theories.
158
00:09:51,217 --> 00:09:53,803
Pretty much all of them
are packed into one viral video
159
00:09:53,845 --> 00:09:55,138
that's made the rounds.
160
00:09:55,179 --> 00:09:59,142
- Then I came across
the "Plandemic" video.
161
00:09:59,183 --> 00:10:02,019
- It's called "Plandemic,"
a 25-minute video claiming
162
00:10:02,061 --> 00:10:04,981
to show the real story
behind COVID-19.
163
00:10:05,022 --> 00:10:07,066
- Nothing is more insidious
than this so-called
164
00:10:07,108 --> 00:10:09,193
"Plandemic" conspiracy theory
165
00:10:09,235 --> 00:10:11,779
now floating about,
which alleges that coronavirus
166
00:10:11,821 --> 00:10:14,282
was engineered
to increase vaccinations
167
00:10:14,323 --> 00:10:16,826
and make people rich.
168
00:10:16,868 --> 00:10:19,287
- Pharmaceutical companies,
169
00:10:19,328 --> 00:10:22,832
how much money
are they making on the vaccine?
170
00:10:24,041 --> 00:10:26,878
They brought upon the pandemic.
171
00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:32,967
Event 201, in October
of 2019 by Bill Gates,
172
00:10:33,009 --> 00:10:34,802
proves they were gonna bring
the pandemic.
173
00:10:34,844 --> 00:10:38,181
* *
174
00:10:38,222 --> 00:10:42,018
[mixer whirring]
175
00:10:42,060 --> 00:10:44,062
- The textbook definition
of a conspiracy theory
176
00:10:44,103 --> 00:10:47,356
is the idea
that a small group of people
177
00:10:47,398 --> 00:10:51,319
are sort of collaborating
in private, in secret,
178
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,989
to enact harm
on the common person.
179
00:10:55,031 --> 00:10:58,659
- The pandemic has given
a boost to conspiracy theories
180
00:10:58,701 --> 00:11:00,870
like those propagated
by QAnon
181
00:11:00,912 --> 00:11:02,872
with its claim
that Satan-worshipping
182
00:11:02,914 --> 00:11:05,958
pedophile elites
are running our lives.
183
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,502
- The kind
of conventional wisdom
184
00:11:07,543 --> 00:11:08,961
about conspiracy thinking
185
00:11:09,003 --> 00:11:12,215
is that it solves a few
sort of psychological needs.
186
00:11:12,256 --> 00:11:14,467
One is the need for belonging.
187
00:11:14,509 --> 00:11:17,553
- Through online forums, these
different conspiracy theories
188
00:11:17,595 --> 00:11:20,723
brought more people together,
especially over the past year.
189
00:11:20,765 --> 00:11:23,559
- Another is the need for
knowledge, the epistemic need.
190
00:11:23,601 --> 00:11:27,230
It's just sort of like, make
sense of the world around you.
191
00:11:27,271 --> 00:11:29,399
- And when something big
happens,
192
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,485
like a terrorist attack
or a mass shooting,
193
00:11:32,527 --> 00:11:34,153
we assume there must be
194
00:11:34,195 --> 00:11:37,532
an equally big
explanation for it.
195
00:11:37,573 --> 00:11:41,411
- And believing
conspiracy theories is a way
196
00:11:41,452 --> 00:11:43,579
to sort of understand
the bad things that happen.
197
00:11:43,621 --> 00:11:46,290
* *
198
00:11:46,332 --> 00:11:48,710
- I thought the pandemic
would've woke everyone up,
199
00:11:48,751 --> 00:11:50,420
but it didn't.
200
00:11:50,461 --> 00:11:54,590
There are some people
that still do not believe
201
00:11:54,632 --> 00:11:56,259
in the New World Order.
202
00:11:58,511 --> 00:12:00,430
- A one world government
203
00:12:00,471 --> 00:12:04,058
controlled by the 13
elite families of the world.
204
00:12:08,980 --> 00:12:11,399
- Well, it's controlled
by the Vatican
205
00:12:11,441 --> 00:12:14,694
and the royal family
and the Rothschilds
206
00:12:14,736 --> 00:12:19,449
and the Rockefellers
and the Morgans,
207
00:12:19,490 --> 00:12:24,412
and the more and more
that we bow down to it,
208
00:12:24,454 --> 00:12:27,623
the less liberties
we're going to have.
209
00:12:27,665 --> 00:12:29,584
We need to stand up.
210
00:12:29,625 --> 00:12:32,128
We need to start fighting,
211
00:12:32,170 --> 00:12:35,298
and that's why I went there
on January 6th,
212
00:12:35,339 --> 00:12:39,886
because our elections
were stolen from us.
213
00:12:39,927 --> 00:12:41,429
[dramatic music]
214
00:12:41,471 --> 00:12:43,181
- We define
a conspiracy theory
215
00:12:43,222 --> 00:12:46,309
as a explanation
for world events,
216
00:12:46,350 --> 00:12:49,979
that there's secret
and malevolent coordination.
217
00:12:50,021 --> 00:12:51,939
Then that certainly applies
to the notion
218
00:12:51,981 --> 00:12:56,152
that people secretly worked
together to steal the election.
219
00:12:56,194 --> 00:12:58,237
- This is the most
fraudulent thing anybody's--
220
00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:00,990
this is a criminal enterprise.
221
00:13:01,032 --> 00:13:02,950
- We know that
that's not true.
222
00:13:02,992 --> 00:13:04,660
But that's, in large part,
223
00:13:04,702 --> 00:13:07,705
what incited the insurrection
on January 6th.
224
00:13:07,747 --> 00:13:09,624
- When you catch somebody
in a fraud,
225
00:13:09,665 --> 00:13:13,920
you're allowed to go
by very different rules.
226
00:13:13,961 --> 00:13:20,218
* *
227
00:13:25,848 --> 00:13:27,016
- Who?
228
00:13:29,685 --> 00:13:31,020
Where did you hear that at?
- Four of five of them.
229
00:13:32,647 --> 00:13:34,315
- All charges were dropped?
230
00:13:45,451 --> 00:13:46,869
- I hope so.
231
00:13:46,911 --> 00:13:49,122
Bill is my best friend.
232
00:13:49,163 --> 00:13:52,458
He's a Purple Heart
Vietnam veteran,
233
00:13:52,500 --> 00:13:56,337
and Bill was by my side
the entire time.
234
00:13:56,379 --> 00:14:00,258
[indistinct shouting]
235
00:14:00,299 --> 00:14:03,386
When I was standing on
the Capitol building steps,
236
00:14:03,428 --> 00:14:07,056
I got maced
directly in the eyeballs,
237
00:14:07,098 --> 00:14:08,391
and I could not see,
238
00:14:08,433 --> 00:14:11,018
and thank God
that Bill was there.
239
00:14:11,060 --> 00:14:13,604
- She said, "You gotta be
my eyes to get in there,"
240
00:14:13,646 --> 00:14:17,567
you know, so I said, "Well,
I really don't wanna go in."
241
00:14:17,608 --> 00:14:20,153
We'll get out,
and all she said--
242
00:14:20,194 --> 00:14:21,863
so then the doors open.
243
00:14:21,904 --> 00:14:23,948
- Whose house?
all: Our house!
244
00:14:23,990 --> 00:14:26,743
- Whose house?
[horn blares]
245
00:14:26,784 --> 00:14:29,120
* *
246
00:14:29,162 --> 00:14:30,538
all: USA!
247
00:14:30,580 --> 00:14:33,166
- There were a whole bunch
of police there.
248
00:14:33,207 --> 00:14:36,044
She told them that they--
she wanted to bring that--
249
00:14:36,085 --> 00:14:39,964
bring that bitch out here
and hang her.
250
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:52,935
- She wanted to go down
into the Capitol
251
00:14:52,977 --> 00:14:55,063
where the Senate chambers are.
252
00:14:57,231 --> 00:14:58,941
I didn't wanna
go down in there, for sure.
253
00:14:58,983 --> 00:15:00,610
[indistinct yelling]
254
00:15:00,651 --> 00:15:04,113
- Around 3:30, President Trump
told us all to go home.
255
00:15:04,155 --> 00:15:06,741
So we went home.
256
00:15:06,783 --> 00:15:10,244
- Now, some of our
not-so-dear friends,
257
00:15:10,286 --> 00:15:12,580
they called the FBI on us.
258
00:15:12,622 --> 00:15:14,749
[tense music]
259
00:15:14,791 --> 00:15:16,000
- They're charging me
260
00:15:16,042 --> 00:15:19,587
with obstructing
an official proceeding,
261
00:15:19,629 --> 00:15:24,634
and that is supposed to be
a 20-year sentence.
262
00:15:24,675 --> 00:15:29,097
* *
263
00:15:33,184 --> 00:15:35,186
- You could've fibbed
a little bit.
264
00:15:38,815 --> 00:15:40,233
- Thank you.
265
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,196
On September 17th
at 10:30 a.m.,
266
00:15:45,238 --> 00:15:48,074
I have a status hearing
in Washington, D.C.
267
00:15:48,116 --> 00:15:55,206
* *
268
00:16:01,254 --> 00:16:04,674
It's scary, but...
269
00:16:06,968 --> 00:16:10,763
If this is the path where
God's chosen me to take...
270
00:16:12,557 --> 00:16:14,767
Everything happens
for a reason.
271
00:16:25,737 --> 00:16:32,702
* *
272
00:16:44,464 --> 00:16:47,467
- One of our hypotheses
going into "Shadowland"
273
00:16:47,508 --> 00:16:50,887
was that a lot of this
is about money,
274
00:16:50,928 --> 00:16:52,138
and there are people who are
275
00:16:52,180 --> 00:16:54,015
profiting off of
conspiracy theories,
276
00:16:54,057 --> 00:16:57,602
and we really wanted to open
that world for people
277
00:16:57,643 --> 00:16:59,687
to understand, like,
278
00:16:59,729 --> 00:17:02,732
this is a billion-dollar
industry, you know?
279
00:17:02,774 --> 00:17:04,484
There's money to be made here.
280
00:17:04,525 --> 00:17:07,612
[soft dramatic music]
281
00:17:07,653 --> 00:17:13,367
* *
282
00:17:13,409 --> 00:17:14,744
- Mimi?
- Yeah?
283
00:17:14,786 --> 00:17:16,204
- What can I help you with?
284
00:17:16,245 --> 00:17:19,207
- Actually, I would just--
if you could just hang out,
285
00:17:19,248 --> 00:17:21,000
we could listen to Tim Pool
or something.
286
00:17:21,042 --> 00:17:22,293
I could, like--
- Okay.
287
00:17:22,335 --> 00:17:24,670
Let me get my phone
and something to eat.
288
00:17:24,712 --> 00:17:26,923
- My name is Zach Vorhies,
289
00:17:26,964 --> 00:17:30,760
and I'm about to release
my new social media network
290
00:17:30,802 --> 00:17:31,761
to the world.
291
00:17:31,803 --> 00:17:34,263
* *
292
00:17:34,305 --> 00:17:36,516
Let's see here.
293
00:17:36,557 --> 00:17:38,309
We have Infowars.
294
00:17:38,351 --> 00:17:41,145
We also have
Fox, OAN, Newsmax.
295
00:17:41,187 --> 00:17:43,189
Steve Bannon's just amazing.
296
00:17:43,231 --> 00:17:45,149
And some of it's conspiracy,
297
00:17:45,191 --> 00:17:48,194
but most of it's
pretty spot-on.
298
00:17:48,236 --> 00:17:52,907
This is going to change
the entire game.
299
00:17:52,949 --> 00:17:55,034
I could end up
as a millionaire
300
00:17:55,076 --> 00:17:57,537
if people come in
and want to help me do this.
301
00:17:57,578 --> 00:18:00,498
* *
302
00:18:00,540 --> 00:18:02,625
- My name is Maryam Henein.
303
00:18:02,667 --> 00:18:04,460
I'm an
investigative journalist.
304
00:18:04,502 --> 00:18:08,464
Welcome to the channel
where I address
305
00:18:08,506 --> 00:18:11,843
chronic illnesses,
autoimmune conditions.
306
00:18:14,345 --> 00:18:19,517
I'm very active every day in
reading and sharing information
307
00:18:19,559 --> 00:18:22,478
about what's happening
with the 'rona,
308
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,983
and these freedoms that are
being taken away from us.
309
00:18:27,024 --> 00:18:31,237
* This corona,
fuck you, corona *
310
00:18:31,279 --> 00:18:34,866
This was an opportunity
to usher in many things.
311
00:18:34,907 --> 00:18:37,577
[whispers]
Brilliant Trojan horse!
312
00:18:37,618 --> 00:18:40,455
[quietly] Inbox, inbox.
313
00:18:40,496 --> 00:18:42,540
- Maryam is my girlfriend.
314
00:18:42,582 --> 00:18:46,044
- I came across Zach
while he was on Alex Jones.
315
00:18:46,085 --> 00:18:48,212
- All right,
Jack Vorhies is here with us.
316
00:18:48,254 --> 00:18:52,800
- I looked at him
on the screen.
317
00:18:52,842 --> 00:18:54,969
His eyes looked familiar to me.
318
00:18:55,011 --> 00:18:57,597
And then I reached out to him
on Twitter.
319
00:18:57,638 --> 00:18:59,682
- This is Zach Vorhies,
the Google whistleblower here
320
00:18:59,724 --> 00:19:01,559
with Maryam Henein.
321
00:19:01,601 --> 00:19:03,436
- Investigative journalist.
322
00:19:03,478 --> 00:19:04,896
So when we connected,
323
00:19:04,937 --> 00:19:07,982
it was just--just awesome.
324
00:19:14,197 --> 00:19:16,574
- The United States
is in the state of war
325
00:19:16,616 --> 00:19:19,327
against the world communist
conspiracy.
326
00:19:19,368 --> 00:19:22,205
Whether it scares some people
or not, I don't give a hoot.
327
00:19:22,246 --> 00:19:25,374
- [laughing] I don't think--
I don't think many people.
328
00:19:25,416 --> 00:19:27,293
* *
329
00:19:27,335 --> 00:19:30,129
- When this whole
COVID mess came out,
330
00:19:30,171 --> 00:19:33,424
me and Maryam were just
beside ourselves with fear.
331
00:19:33,466 --> 00:19:37,470
- COVID-19's greatest power
is fear.
332
00:19:37,512 --> 00:19:40,306
It is a psychological warfare
weapon that has been deployed
333
00:19:40,348 --> 00:19:42,934
against the people
of the world to be the cover
334
00:19:42,975 --> 00:19:46,646
for a controlled global
collapse to consolidate power
335
00:19:46,687 --> 00:19:48,356
in the hands of the globalists
336
00:19:48,398 --> 00:19:50,566
and to establish
their New World Order.
337
00:19:50,608 --> 00:19:54,570
- There was one weekend
we were actually on ecstasy,
338
00:19:54,612 --> 00:19:57,073
and we were--we spent, like,
339
00:19:57,115 --> 00:19:59,742
48 hours just watching
all this fear porn.
340
00:19:59,784 --> 00:20:01,327
- This is a 21st century war.
341
00:20:01,369 --> 00:20:03,079
It's a gl--war
about the globalists.
342
00:20:03,121 --> 00:20:05,206
It's a psy-war
trying to scare you,
343
00:20:05,248 --> 00:20:06,958
and the answer to that
is not be scared.
344
00:20:06,999 --> 00:20:10,586
The answer is go...[screams]
345
00:20:10,628 --> 00:20:12,839
- And so we just
grabbed onto each other
346
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,675
and held on for dear life.
347
00:20:15,717 --> 00:20:18,928
- He asked me, and he's like,
"Would you be my girlfriend?"
348
00:20:18,970 --> 00:20:22,014
It was, like, so cute.
349
00:20:22,056 --> 00:20:24,809
- And we've been in this house
ever since.
350
00:20:24,851 --> 00:20:29,522
* *
351
00:20:29,564 --> 00:20:33,234
I'm just gonna sit down
in this pile of stuff, and...
352
00:20:37,196 --> 00:20:38,573
So when can I tickle you?
353
00:20:40,116 --> 00:20:41,784
Can we do that soon?
354
00:20:41,826 --> 00:20:45,371
- I think there needs to be
space on the bed for that.
355
00:20:45,413 --> 00:20:46,622
- Really?
- And there isn't...
356
00:20:46,664 --> 00:20:47,874
- What if I proved you wrong?
- Unfortunately.
357
00:20:47,915 --> 00:20:50,376
[laughs]
- What if I proved you wrong?
358
00:20:50,418 --> 00:20:53,504
Huh? Huh? It's coming.
It's coming.
359
00:20:53,546 --> 00:20:55,965
- [laughs]
- Okay, you're done now.
360
00:20:56,007 --> 00:20:58,134
- Zach, I just saw
you have a dimple.
361
00:20:58,176 --> 00:20:59,302
- Where?
- I just saw
362
00:20:59,343 --> 00:21:00,720
you have a dimple here.
- No way.
363
00:21:00,762 --> 00:21:04,557
- I've never seen it before.
- When does it show up?
364
00:21:04,599 --> 00:21:06,225
- Now.
365
00:21:06,267 --> 00:21:08,561
I have to take a picture--
you see it.
366
00:21:11,647 --> 00:21:13,733
[children laughing]
367
00:21:13,775 --> 00:21:15,151
- Hi, Zach.
368
00:21:15,193 --> 00:21:17,403
* *
369
00:21:17,445 --> 00:21:20,782
- I grew up
in the forest of Oregon.
370
00:21:20,823 --> 00:21:24,911
I went to the University of
Oregon to study programming,
371
00:21:24,952 --> 00:21:28,372
and Google was my dream job.
372
00:21:28,414 --> 00:21:30,583
I actually worked there
for 8 1/2 years,
373
00:21:30,625 --> 00:21:33,169
first as an engineer
on Google Earth,
374
00:21:33,211 --> 00:21:35,129
and then later on YouTube.
375
00:21:35,171 --> 00:21:37,090
That's how I came
to San Francisco,
376
00:21:37,131 --> 00:21:39,884
and that was my identity.
377
00:21:39,926 --> 00:21:43,596
I was working for Google,
working for the best company
378
00:21:43,638 --> 00:21:46,432
in the world,
and what I didn't realize
379
00:21:46,474 --> 00:21:49,685
was how wrong that
was all gonna turn out to be
380
00:21:49,727 --> 00:21:51,145
8 1/2 years later.
381
00:21:51,187 --> 00:21:52,438
- In the weeks
since the election,
382
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,774
Facebook and Google
have come under fire
383
00:21:54,816 --> 00:21:57,068
for their supposed role
in spreading "fake news"
384
00:21:57,110 --> 00:21:58,611
throughout the election.
385
00:21:58,653 --> 00:22:01,697
- A BuzzFeed analysis found
that fake election news
386
00:22:01,739 --> 00:22:04,200
generated more buzz
than stories
387
00:22:04,242 --> 00:22:07,120
from 19 mainstream
news outlets combined.
388
00:22:07,161 --> 00:22:08,913
- Now both companies
are making changes
389
00:22:08,955 --> 00:22:11,207
to stop this spread
of false information.
390
00:22:11,249 --> 00:22:12,959
- After Trump won the election,
391
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,210
Google decided that they were
392
00:22:14,252 --> 00:22:16,796
going to start clamping down
on fake news.
393
00:22:16,838 --> 00:22:18,756
- Now Google and Facebook
are targeting
394
00:22:18,798 --> 00:22:21,342
how the creators of these
fake news sites make money.
395
00:22:21,384 --> 00:22:23,136
That's advertising.
396
00:22:23,177 --> 00:22:25,304
- Bay area tech giants
are taking action
397
00:22:25,346 --> 00:22:28,099
against conspiracy theorist
Alex Jones.
398
00:22:28,141 --> 00:22:30,768
- iTunes, Facebook,
Spotify, and YouTube
399
00:22:30,810 --> 00:22:33,855
all removed his audio
and video material.
400
00:22:33,896 --> 00:22:35,314
- I saw that.
401
00:22:35,356 --> 00:22:38,818
Conservatives like myself
are getting censored.
402
00:22:38,860 --> 00:22:41,320
I did not like the censorship,
403
00:22:41,362 --> 00:22:44,532
and so I started to investigate
404
00:22:44,574 --> 00:22:46,659
what the company
was doing on the inside.
405
00:22:46,701 --> 00:22:49,662
[tense music]
406
00:22:49,704 --> 00:22:54,000
* *
407
00:22:54,041 --> 00:22:58,296
- The Google whistleblower
has come out of the shadows.
408
00:22:58,337 --> 00:22:59,672
- I got this information out
409
00:22:59,714 --> 00:23:02,175
to a right-wing
investigative outlet.
410
00:23:02,216 --> 00:23:05,011
- How did you obtain
this document?
411
00:23:05,053 --> 00:23:07,513
- So these documents
were available
412
00:23:07,555 --> 00:23:12,143
to every single employee within
the company that was full-time.
413
00:23:12,185 --> 00:23:15,688
The left wing basically called
my disclosure a nothing-burger.
414
00:23:15,730 --> 00:23:19,817
- Conservatives accused Google
of political bias.
415
00:23:19,859 --> 00:23:21,194
Is there any evidence of that?
416
00:23:21,235 --> 00:23:24,363
- I think it would be
really, incredibly difficult
417
00:23:24,405 --> 00:23:27,075
to prove political bias
at this point.
418
00:23:27,116 --> 00:23:29,535
- You know, we do get concerns
across both sides of the aisle.
419
00:23:29,577 --> 00:23:31,370
- [coughs]
- You know, I can assure you
420
00:23:31,412 --> 00:23:33,456
we do this in a neutral way.
421
00:23:33,498 --> 00:23:35,833
- But the right wing
grabbed onto it.
422
00:23:35,875 --> 00:23:38,211
- Zach, you've been a real hero
coming forward.
423
00:23:38,252 --> 00:23:40,338
Having you come
to the forefront is amazing.
424
00:23:40,380 --> 00:23:41,631
- And so people want
425
00:23:41,672 --> 00:23:43,800
to understand, like,
what's really going on.
426
00:23:43,841 --> 00:23:45,927
They're--they come to me.
427
00:23:45,968 --> 00:23:50,473
Google is this company
hell-bent on enslaving you.
428
00:23:50,515 --> 00:23:54,102
What Google is pushing is--
they're pushing ideas
429
00:23:54,143 --> 00:23:57,146
that will destabilize
the United States
430
00:23:57,188 --> 00:24:01,734
and make it fall without
the enemy firing a shot,
431
00:24:01,776 --> 00:24:03,903
and the question is,
432
00:24:03,945 --> 00:24:05,696
who's the enemy?
433
00:24:05,738 --> 00:24:07,824
People want to know, well,
who's pulling the strings?
434
00:24:07,865 --> 00:24:10,034
Because obviously,
there's a puppet master,
435
00:24:10,076 --> 00:24:12,912
and the thing is, is that,
we don't know who they are.
436
00:24:12,954 --> 00:24:16,582
There is a New World Order,
and Google is a part of it.
437
00:24:16,624 --> 00:24:18,626
They're just a front group
in the same way
438
00:24:18,668 --> 00:24:20,712
that Facebook is a front group.
439
00:24:20,753 --> 00:24:24,173
You know, the bag men
of the New World Order.
440
00:24:24,215 --> 00:24:26,134
- And that's why
I'm here fighting today,
441
00:24:26,175 --> 00:24:31,055
because I know what the deep
state is able to pull off.
442
00:24:31,097 --> 00:24:32,598
I know that they're
able to pull off
443
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:33,766
this global warming scam.
444
00:24:33,808 --> 00:24:35,643
I know that they're able
to put
445
00:24:35,685 --> 00:24:38,771
zoonotic mouse retroviruses
in our vaccines.
446
00:24:38,813 --> 00:24:41,607
They're able to put mercury
in our filling.
447
00:24:41,649 --> 00:24:43,192
You know, they put fluoride
in our water
448
00:24:43,234 --> 00:24:45,445
and in our toothpaste,
449
00:24:45,486 --> 00:24:47,447
and they're able to do this
in order to make us sick
450
00:24:47,488 --> 00:24:50,199
so that we're--it necessitates
451
00:24:50,241 --> 00:24:53,536
the need
of a socialized healthcare.
452
00:24:53,578 --> 00:24:55,371
I feel like I'm a hero.
453
00:24:55,413 --> 00:24:56,622
- I want to hand you the floor,
454
00:24:56,664 --> 00:24:58,124
'cause I'ma tell you,
you're smart, man.
455
00:24:58,166 --> 00:25:00,376
- I've got this
new part of my life
456
00:25:00,418 --> 00:25:02,503
where I'm an
international celebrity now.
457
00:25:02,545 --> 00:25:05,465
I think that I'm, like,
the right wing hipster.
458
00:25:05,506 --> 00:25:08,301
Like, I was, like,
red-pilling before it was cool.
459
00:25:08,342 --> 00:25:10,636
I'm not here to, like,
get famous or anything.
460
00:25:10,678 --> 00:25:14,223
I'm the Google whistleblower.
[cheers and applause]
461
00:25:14,265 --> 00:25:15,808
And I don't
really charge for it.
462
00:25:15,850 --> 00:25:17,351
It's just something
that I want to do
463
00:25:17,393 --> 00:25:19,854
because I wanna get
the information out there.
464
00:25:29,697 --> 00:25:31,282
- Um, the way
that I make money--
465
00:25:31,324 --> 00:25:34,452
I mean, look, I don't do any
of these appearances for money,
466
00:25:34,494 --> 00:25:37,872
and people often ask me, like,
how do I make my income?
467
00:25:37,914 --> 00:25:41,501
And the answer to that
is I've got some wealthy donors
468
00:25:41,542 --> 00:25:43,044
that are scared to death
469
00:25:43,086 --> 00:25:46,964
that their businesses
are going to be more destroyed
470
00:25:47,006 --> 00:25:49,425
than they are by regulation
and the government.
471
00:25:49,467 --> 00:25:54,514
* *
472
00:25:54,555 --> 00:25:57,392
- So this is my sauna.
473
00:25:57,433 --> 00:25:59,811
This is great
because it's portable.
474
00:25:59,852 --> 00:26:02,480
Right now,
it's cold in San Francisco,
475
00:26:02,522 --> 00:26:06,275
so I use this a little--
my space,
476
00:26:06,317 --> 00:26:09,237
and then I just listen
to the podcast or the news
477
00:26:09,278 --> 00:26:12,073
or do my work.
478
00:26:12,115 --> 00:26:15,118
I grew up in Montreal, Canada.
479
00:26:15,159 --> 00:26:17,954
I was very curious,
480
00:26:17,995 --> 00:26:20,957
and I wanted to be
a private eye.
481
00:26:20,998 --> 00:26:23,626
My first story that I wrote
for the "Montreal Gazette"
482
00:26:23,668 --> 00:26:28,047
was at 18 years old,
and then when I came here
483
00:26:28,089 --> 00:26:31,676
to California, I was writing
for "The Hollywood Reporter,"
484
00:26:31,718 --> 00:26:33,761
and I was writing for "Maxim,"
485
00:26:33,803 --> 00:26:36,806
and I was writing
for "Penthouse."
486
00:26:36,848 --> 00:26:39,016
I'm best known
for directing a film
487
00:26:39,058 --> 00:26:42,645
called "Vanishing
of the Bees."
488
00:26:42,687 --> 00:26:45,356
It's a documentary
on colony collapse disorder.
489
00:26:46,733 --> 00:26:50,987
I thought I was a Democrat
490
00:26:51,028 --> 00:26:55,575
and thought I was liberal
in my views
491
00:26:55,616 --> 00:26:58,369
and then had
a kind of rude awakening
492
00:26:58,411 --> 00:27:01,914
in this past year and a half.
493
00:27:01,956 --> 00:27:05,460
The shift in my thinking,
as far as my politics,
494
00:27:05,501 --> 00:27:10,631
was meeting Zach
and the coronavirus.
495
00:27:10,673 --> 00:27:13,342
It's not that I think
this is not real,
496
00:27:13,384 --> 00:27:15,053
because I know people
who've been sick.
497
00:27:15,094 --> 00:27:20,183
I just feel this is--
these responses are not kosher.
498
00:27:20,224 --> 00:27:21,476
Fuck you.
499
00:27:21,517 --> 00:27:23,102
Take your poisons,
500
00:27:23,144 --> 00:27:25,563
and shove 'em into your veins,
501
00:27:25,605 --> 00:27:28,649
and let us see what it does.
502
00:27:28,691 --> 00:27:33,738
You are hypnotizing
an entire planet by fear...
503
00:27:35,698 --> 00:27:39,368
To get injected, to make money.
504
00:27:39,410 --> 00:27:43,122
You're using humans as pawns.
505
00:27:43,164 --> 00:27:46,000
You all think
that this is about a virus?
506
00:27:46,042 --> 00:27:49,837
This is about ushering in
a New World Order.
507
00:27:49,879 --> 00:27:54,384
This is about training people
to be obedient slaves.
508
00:27:54,425 --> 00:27:56,844
How did they do it
during the Nazis?
509
00:27:58,971 --> 00:28:00,640
This is how.
510
00:28:00,681 --> 00:28:04,477
And, of course, getting
personally all this hate--
511
00:28:04,519 --> 00:28:07,688
I just got a message
from--I don't know who.
512
00:28:07,730 --> 00:28:10,358
"I honestly feel bad
for you and your followers.
513
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,985
"So incredibly stupid
and misinformed,
514
00:28:13,027 --> 00:28:16,030
"just spreading the stupid
and misinformation
515
00:28:16,072 --> 00:28:18,574
amongst yourselves."
516
00:28:18,616 --> 00:28:21,244
Okay, buddy.
Just block.
517
00:28:21,285 --> 00:28:24,997
I went to a conservative event
with Zach
518
00:28:25,039 --> 00:28:30,795
and saw that the people were
super polite and welcoming.
519
00:28:30,837 --> 00:28:33,881
Then felt like, "Oh,
these people will accept me."
520
00:28:33,923 --> 00:28:35,049
* *
521
00:28:35,091 --> 00:28:38,052
[keys clacking]
522
00:28:41,264 --> 00:28:47,478
So I'm writing a book,
and it's been challenging,
523
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,565
despite my writing skills,
524
00:28:50,606 --> 00:28:54,694
to sell this story
because of, uh,
525
00:28:54,736 --> 00:28:57,905
how controversial it is.
526
00:28:57,947 --> 00:29:00,324
- I do believe
we're gonna be able to get you
527
00:29:00,366 --> 00:29:05,872
a syndicated space
in several online publications
528
00:29:05,913 --> 00:29:08,791
starting this month.
- Okay.
529
00:29:08,833 --> 00:29:12,545
I'm not doing this for money
or for fame.
530
00:29:12,587 --> 00:29:17,341
I grew up watching
Alfred Hitchcock movies
531
00:29:17,383 --> 00:29:20,928
and Hardy Boys
and Agatha Christie.
532
00:29:20,970 --> 00:29:22,555
I think people like whodunits.
533
00:29:22,597 --> 00:29:24,140
People like the truth.
534
00:29:24,182 --> 00:29:27,560
And then is there any word
on this network?
535
00:29:27,602 --> 00:29:29,979
Are they still interested?
- Mm-mm.
536
00:29:30,021 --> 00:29:33,608
He did say he was interested
after I shared with him
537
00:29:33,649 --> 00:29:37,320
what you had already done.
- Okay.
538
00:29:37,361 --> 00:29:39,822
- I do feel
that once I have it written,
539
00:29:39,864 --> 00:29:42,325
that someone will publish it.
540
00:29:42,366 --> 00:29:43,868
It's going to be that good.
541
00:29:52,043 --> 00:29:54,420
- I have always
been interested
542
00:29:54,462 --> 00:29:57,173
in why people believe
in conspiracy theories,
543
00:29:57,215 --> 00:29:59,300
because I understand firsthand
544
00:29:59,342 --> 00:30:02,678
that anyone can believe in
conspiracy theories.
545
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,932
[dramatic music]
546
00:30:05,973 --> 00:30:07,642
When I was a teenager,
547
00:30:07,683 --> 00:30:11,813
I had a teacher
who believed in the illuminati
548
00:30:11,854 --> 00:30:16,651
and who taught our class
that the illuminati was real,
549
00:30:16,692 --> 00:30:18,528
and I believed it.
550
00:30:18,569 --> 00:30:24,158
* *
551
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,787
It was totally intoxicating.
552
00:30:27,829 --> 00:30:29,414
It feels really good,
553
00:30:29,455 --> 00:30:32,291
especially when
you are a teenager,
554
00:30:32,333 --> 00:30:36,629
to feel like you understand
things that other people don't
555
00:30:36,671 --> 00:30:41,718
and to feel like you kind of
get the way the world works,
556
00:30:41,759 --> 00:30:43,219
and someone told me
557
00:30:43,261 --> 00:30:47,056
that the key to the universe,
basically,
558
00:30:47,098 --> 00:30:50,685
is that there's
a shadowy cabal of rich people
559
00:30:50,727 --> 00:30:55,440
who are pulling the strings,
and that worked for me.
560
00:30:55,481 --> 00:30:58,985
It feels really good to feel
like you've unlocked
561
00:30:59,026 --> 00:31:02,572
the secret of how
wealth and power works,
562
00:31:02,613 --> 00:31:04,991
and to seek fairness
563
00:31:05,032 --> 00:31:09,787
and to prevent bad actors
from acting badly.
564
00:31:09,829 --> 00:31:13,082
It feels like
being a little high,
565
00:31:13,124 --> 00:31:18,504
and I--that feeling
has stayed with me
566
00:31:18,546 --> 00:31:21,382
even though the thoughts
that undergird it haven't.
567
00:31:21,424 --> 00:31:26,554
So that's part of why
I wanted to do this project.
568
00:31:26,596 --> 00:31:30,266
I think it's so important
to not lose sight of that,
569
00:31:30,308 --> 00:31:34,645
that this is something that
is really pulling people in.
570
00:31:34,687 --> 00:31:37,607
[somber guitar music]
571
00:31:37,648 --> 00:31:44,572
* *
572
00:31:50,369 --> 00:31:52,580
- "Dear Pauline,
I hope they hang you
573
00:31:52,622 --> 00:31:56,042
"by the neck till you die after
convicting you of treason.
574
00:31:56,084 --> 00:31:58,252
"You're not only
an embarrassing nutcase
575
00:31:58,294 --> 00:32:01,297
"that humiliates our democracy
by your very existence.
576
00:32:01,339 --> 00:32:03,299
"You're the usual idiot redneck
577
00:32:03,341 --> 00:32:05,718
"who votes for con artists
like Trump.
578
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,305
"You Trump cunt,
treasonous, fucking pig.
579
00:32:09,347 --> 00:32:11,349
"Suck on Trump's tiny,
shriveled, wrinkled,
580
00:32:11,391 --> 00:32:14,227
"spray-tanned dick,
you bimbo-ditz whore.
581
00:32:14,268 --> 00:32:17,021
Choke on a confederate flag.
You're a traitorous cunt."
582
00:32:22,443 --> 00:32:24,821
- I just learned
to blow it off.
583
00:32:24,862 --> 00:32:26,823
You know,
when I was in middle school,
584
00:32:26,864 --> 00:32:30,827
my best friend came to me
and said that
585
00:32:30,868 --> 00:32:33,996
a lot of the girls in my grade
586
00:32:34,038 --> 00:32:35,748
told her
not to hang out with me
587
00:32:35,790 --> 00:32:38,209
'cause I smelled like a cow,
588
00:32:38,251 --> 00:32:40,670
'cause I grew up on a farm.
589
00:32:40,712 --> 00:32:43,881
So I've learned to...
590
00:32:43,923 --> 00:32:48,010
not to pay
much attention to words.
591
00:32:48,052 --> 00:32:50,930
You know?
It's not their fault.
592
00:32:50,972 --> 00:32:52,598
They're just uneducated.
593
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,852
* *
594
00:32:55,893 --> 00:32:58,855
[tense music]
595
00:32:58,896 --> 00:33:05,653
* *
596
00:33:10,408 --> 00:33:14,203
- Well, I have it.
There is your document.
597
00:33:14,245 --> 00:33:17,123
All 127 pages of it.
598
00:33:17,165 --> 00:33:21,961
- I came across Bobby Lawrence
at the rallies,
599
00:33:22,003 --> 00:33:25,923
and Bobby was talking about how
600
00:33:25,965 --> 00:33:31,554
we needed
to not be "citi-zens" anymore.
601
00:33:31,596 --> 00:33:34,265
- We have had the biggest fraud
perpetrated on us
602
00:33:34,307 --> 00:33:36,142
in the history of mankind.
603
00:33:37,435 --> 00:33:39,687
- There is a group of people
living amongst us
604
00:33:39,729 --> 00:33:42,899
who walk like us, talk like us,
and act like us,
605
00:33:42,940 --> 00:33:44,400
but they say
they are different.
606
00:33:44,442 --> 00:33:45,985
- Sovereign citizens
basically believe that
607
00:33:46,027 --> 00:33:49,072
the current federal government
is illegitimate and illegal.
608
00:33:49,113 --> 00:33:51,407
- What we have
are corporations
609
00:33:51,449 --> 00:33:54,243
that are owned
by a small group of people
610
00:33:54,285 --> 00:33:57,080
that are pretending
to be government.
611
00:33:57,121 --> 00:33:58,915
This fight is real.
This struggle is real.
612
00:33:58,956 --> 00:34:01,250
We have a giant cabal called
613
00:34:01,292 --> 00:34:02,752
the Corporation
of the United States,
614
00:34:02,794 --> 00:34:05,880
and the Bar Association
that seeks to keep us slaves.
615
00:34:05,922 --> 00:34:11,594
* *
616
00:34:11,636 --> 00:34:15,431
You can find out
who the top 20 people are
617
00:34:15,473 --> 00:34:18,142
that own the Corporation
of the United States.
618
00:34:18,184 --> 00:34:20,186
And why they do it
is to make money--
619
00:34:20,228 --> 00:34:21,687
simple, plain and simple.
620
00:34:21,729 --> 00:34:25,149
And they do it through fraud,
fear, and intimidation.
621
00:34:25,191 --> 00:34:26,859
* *
622
00:34:26,901 --> 00:34:29,112
- I love my country.
623
00:34:29,153 --> 00:34:32,615
I'm patriotic as you can get.
624
00:34:32,657 --> 00:34:36,119
I have always stood
for the national anthem.
625
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:40,456
I've always pledged allegiance
to the flag.
626
00:34:40,498 --> 00:34:44,210
I believe in our
constitutional rights
627
00:34:44,252 --> 00:34:46,087
and our
Declaration of Independence
628
00:34:46,129 --> 00:34:47,755
and liberty,
629
00:34:47,797 --> 00:34:52,009
and I feel that we have lost
our liberties.
630
00:34:52,844 --> 00:34:57,306
So when I sat down with Bobby
and I listened to him,
631
00:34:57,348 --> 00:35:00,601
I decided to go on this path.
632
00:35:00,643 --> 00:35:03,771
- You are making history
right now.
633
00:35:03,813 --> 00:35:08,651
You're in a federal district
court in Washington, D.C.,
634
00:35:08,693 --> 00:35:11,404
with--a part of one
of the biggest events,
635
00:35:11,446 --> 00:35:14,824
legal events,
in the history of our nation,
636
00:35:14,866 --> 00:35:17,827
and you have chosen to stand up
637
00:35:17,869 --> 00:35:22,999
and fight for God's law,
fight for what is real,
638
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,793
fight for what is righteous.
639
00:35:25,835 --> 00:35:29,505
- My defense is that their
rules, codes, statutes
640
00:35:29,547 --> 00:35:34,927
and ordinance do not apply
to sovereign people,
641
00:35:34,969 --> 00:35:36,679
to an American state national
642
00:35:36,721 --> 00:35:39,515
who is no longer
part of their corporation.
643
00:35:39,557 --> 00:35:41,934
I don't want an attorney.
644
00:35:41,976 --> 00:35:44,062
They don't care
about the welfare
645
00:35:44,103 --> 00:35:48,191
of the people
they're representing.
646
00:35:48,232 --> 00:35:50,151
They're only in it
to make money.
647
00:35:51,861 --> 00:35:54,030
Okay, so I'm gonna enter
the courtroom and say,
648
00:35:54,072 --> 00:35:57,283
"I'm here, Your Honor,
by Divine Special Appearance."
649
00:35:57,325 --> 00:35:58,659
- That's cool.
650
00:35:58,701 --> 00:36:03,164
You can say, "I am Pauline
from the house of Bauer,
651
00:36:03,206 --> 00:36:06,042
"and I seek a settlement today
652
00:36:06,084 --> 00:36:07,835
of these issues
before the court."
653
00:36:10,129 --> 00:36:12,715
And you have to believe
these words.
654
00:36:12,757 --> 00:36:15,510
If you've gotta read 'em
from a piece of paper...
655
00:36:15,551 --> 00:36:17,720
- I know.
- You know, it's not gonna--
656
00:36:17,762 --> 00:36:19,764
you know, you gotta look 'em
in the eye when you say it.
657
00:36:19,806 --> 00:36:21,349
You can't be readin' off
a piece of paper.
658
00:36:21,391 --> 00:36:24,352
He's gotta--he's gotta know
you believe it.
659
00:36:24,394 --> 00:36:26,437
He's gotta know that it's
in your heart and it's real.
660
00:36:26,479 --> 00:36:29,732
And you're talking to him,
one woman to one man,
661
00:36:29,774 --> 00:36:33,236
not some vessel
in talking to shit made up.
662
00:36:33,277 --> 00:36:34,612
He is a man.
663
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,408
Okay, and I doubt
very seriously if he knows
664
00:36:38,449 --> 00:36:40,701
he's part of a cabal.
665
00:36:41,536 --> 00:36:46,499
I'm gonna get you ready
for what may come, okay?
666
00:36:46,541 --> 00:36:48,251
So when you walk
in there tomorrow,
667
00:36:48,292 --> 00:36:52,422
I want you to feel
and know what I know.
668
00:36:52,463 --> 00:36:55,842
Don't be afraid
to quote the Bible, okay?
669
00:36:55,883 --> 00:37:00,847
The Bible is what
our nation was founded on.
670
00:37:00,888 --> 00:37:03,182
It's illegal--
is the undoing of God's law.
671
00:37:03,224 --> 00:37:05,601
It's shit made up.
672
00:37:05,643 --> 00:37:10,440
They can't force you
to surrender God's law
673
00:37:10,481 --> 00:37:13,109
for the legal shit made up.
674
00:37:13,151 --> 00:37:14,902
So they try
to get you to capitulate
675
00:37:14,944 --> 00:37:18,114
and give a tacit agreement
by giving your "sig-nature,"
676
00:37:18,156 --> 00:37:20,950
surrender nature's law
on their land.
677
00:37:20,992 --> 00:37:24,370
If you sig-nature their
document, you surrender law.
678
00:37:24,412 --> 00:37:26,664
Sig, surrender, nature.
679
00:37:26,706 --> 00:37:29,834
Under God's law,
we created government.
680
00:37:29,876 --> 00:37:31,627
We were directed by God
to take dominion
681
00:37:31,669 --> 00:37:33,546
over the land, the air,
and the water.
682
00:37:33,588 --> 00:37:34,756
What I'm doing right now--
683
00:37:34,797 --> 00:37:35,965
this is why that judge
doesn't want me
684
00:37:36,007 --> 00:37:37,133
in that courtroom.
685
00:37:37,175 --> 00:37:39,343
I will eviscerate
that federal judge
686
00:37:39,385 --> 00:37:41,304
and any prosecutor
they put before me.
687
00:37:41,345 --> 00:37:43,639
They can't out-debate me,
688
00:37:43,681 --> 00:37:45,433
'cause they don't know
half this shit.
689
00:37:45,475 --> 00:37:47,185
But I can tell 'em
where to go look it up.
690
00:37:51,230 --> 00:37:53,858
And I'm just a construction
worker that puts windows in.
691
00:37:53,900 --> 00:37:55,735
They're the ones
that's been practicing law
692
00:37:55,777 --> 00:37:57,862
their entire career.
693
00:37:57,904 --> 00:37:59,989
I'm a people.
694
00:38:00,031 --> 00:38:02,075
You're a restauranteur.
695
00:38:02,116 --> 00:38:04,285
You did nothin' wrong.
696
00:38:04,327 --> 00:38:07,330
You harmed no one.
You touched no one.
697
00:38:07,371 --> 00:38:09,415
You were invited in.
698
00:38:09,457 --> 00:38:12,377
But all you said was,
"Bring that bitch out here."
699
00:38:13,461 --> 00:38:14,921
Dismiss these charges,
700
00:38:14,962 --> 00:38:16,923
and when you walk in
that courtroom tomorrow,
701
00:38:16,964 --> 00:38:19,884
you remember
that good and righteousness
702
00:38:19,926 --> 00:38:21,260
is on your side.
703
00:38:21,302 --> 00:38:25,390
* *
704
00:38:29,268 --> 00:38:32,188
[tense music]
705
00:38:32,230 --> 00:38:36,859
* *
706
00:38:36,901 --> 00:38:40,571
- I am here
in Duluth, Georgia,
707
00:38:40,613 --> 00:38:42,907
and I'm here to talk
to Sarah Lewis,
708
00:38:42,949 --> 00:38:45,368
whose childhood best friend,
Rosanne Boyland,
709
00:38:45,410 --> 00:38:50,331
was one of the people who died
on January 6th at the Capitol.
710
00:38:50,373 --> 00:38:51,707
What I'm really here to do is
711
00:38:51,749 --> 00:38:56,337
to try to understand,
on a person level,
712
00:38:56,379 --> 00:38:58,506
why conspiracy theories
are so compelling
713
00:38:58,548 --> 00:39:02,260
and how someone's
whole worldview
714
00:39:02,301 --> 00:39:05,346
can change so quickly.
715
00:39:05,388 --> 00:39:08,474
- New information tonight about
the death of a Georgia woman
716
00:39:08,516 --> 00:39:10,560
who died during
the January 6th attack
717
00:39:10,601 --> 00:39:12,061
at the U.S. Capitol in D.C.,
718
00:39:12,103 --> 00:39:15,398
trampled
under a stampede of rioters.
719
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:16,774
- Rosanne Boyland's family
720
00:39:16,816 --> 00:39:19,402
called her a happy,
wonderful person.
721
00:39:19,444 --> 00:39:22,739
- Rosanne's social media posts
show how she was caught up
722
00:39:22,780 --> 00:39:26,284
in pro-Trump conspiracy
communities involving QAnon.
723
00:39:26,325 --> 00:39:27,952
- Many believers of QAnon
724
00:39:27,994 --> 00:39:29,620
believing factions
of the government
725
00:39:29,662 --> 00:39:31,080
are run by pedophiles
726
00:39:31,122 --> 00:39:34,250
running an international
sex-trafficking ring.
727
00:39:34,292 --> 00:39:35,793
- Rosanne's family and friends
728
00:39:35,835 --> 00:39:37,879
wishing the woman
they loved so dearly
729
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,964
had not gotten herself
so wrapped up
730
00:39:40,006 --> 00:39:42,800
in conspiracy theories
they consider dangerous.
731
00:39:45,511 --> 00:39:47,388
- Hi!
- Hi, I'm Ellen.
732
00:39:47,430 --> 00:39:51,267
- I'm Sarah.
both: So nice to meet you.
733
00:39:51,309 --> 00:39:52,518
- Tell me about Rosanne.
734
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,562
What do you wish
people knew about her?
735
00:39:54,604 --> 00:39:56,731
- I wish that people knew
736
00:39:56,773 --> 00:40:02,487
that before
this QAnon exposure,
737
00:40:02,528 --> 00:40:08,576
before that, she was
a regular Trump-roastin',
738
00:40:08,618 --> 00:40:10,536
good-time-havin' person.
739
00:40:10,578 --> 00:40:14,165
We literally were exchanging
memes about the man,
740
00:40:14,207 --> 00:40:16,667
like, two days, three days
741
00:40:16,709 --> 00:40:19,295
before she
"went down the rabbit hole."
742
00:40:19,337 --> 00:40:21,005
- Mm-hmm.
743
00:40:21,047 --> 00:40:22,465
- She was my best friend,
744
00:40:22,507 --> 00:40:24,509
and best friend is really
an understatement.
745
00:40:24,550 --> 00:40:26,969
We were more like family
because of the fact
746
00:40:27,011 --> 00:40:29,597
that we were introduced
to each other so young.
747
00:40:29,639 --> 00:40:32,517
We were only 17 months.
748
00:40:32,558 --> 00:40:37,230
So there's no memory that
I have without her until now.
749
00:40:37,271 --> 00:40:39,565
* *
750
00:40:39,607 --> 00:40:41,109
She had
an amazing sense of humor.
751
00:40:41,150 --> 00:40:43,194
She was always joking.
752
00:40:43,236 --> 00:40:44,654
But my friend was hurting.
753
00:40:44,695 --> 00:40:47,240
You know, her whole life,
she was hurting.
754
00:40:47,281 --> 00:40:48,825
I guess it was middle school,
755
00:40:48,866 --> 00:40:51,786
things started
to change for her.
756
00:40:51,828 --> 00:40:55,915
I started doing drugs
in, like, late middle school.
757
00:40:55,957 --> 00:40:59,711
So come to find out, we had
both started to branch out
758
00:40:59,752 --> 00:41:02,547
kind of on our own
little drug journeys.
759
00:41:02,588 --> 00:41:07,218
Her opiate use
turned into heroin
760
00:41:07,260 --> 00:41:09,887
some point after high school,
761
00:41:09,929 --> 00:41:13,099
and it took a lot for me
to accept that.
762
00:41:13,141 --> 00:41:16,811
But she just struggled
and struggled.
763
00:41:16,853 --> 00:41:18,896
And then her nieces were born.
764
00:41:18,938 --> 00:41:21,983
Her sister had her first baby,
765
00:41:22,024 --> 00:41:24,861
and nothing could've been
better for Rosanne.
766
00:41:24,902 --> 00:41:29,073
Like, somehow
that just triggered her
767
00:41:29,115 --> 00:41:33,661
to wanna do something better,
and she cleaned up for them,
768
00:41:33,703 --> 00:41:36,706
and she started going to NA.
769
00:41:36,748 --> 00:41:39,709
But you know, her life
was just pretty basic.
770
00:41:39,751 --> 00:41:41,544
Taking care of the girls,
771
00:41:41,586 --> 00:41:45,006
you know, watching TV,
playin' on her phone.
772
00:41:45,048 --> 00:41:48,092
That was really it, you know?
She didn't have a job.
773
00:41:48,134 --> 00:41:50,928
She never left home.
Didn't have a home of her own.
774
00:41:50,970 --> 00:41:54,057
Didn't get married.
Didn't have children.
775
00:41:54,098 --> 00:41:55,850
And then
when quarantine happened,
776
00:41:55,892 --> 00:41:58,102
it messed with Rosanne.
777
00:41:58,144 --> 00:42:01,355
She had nothing
but her room and her phone
778
00:42:01,397 --> 00:42:03,441
and that isolation.
779
00:42:03,483 --> 00:42:04,734
- Not going to meetings.
780
00:42:04,776 --> 00:42:06,027
- Right,
she's taking it seriously.
781
00:42:06,069 --> 00:42:07,945
She wasn't going to meetings,
wasn't going out
782
00:42:07,987 --> 00:42:11,699
because she took
COVID seriously at first,
783
00:42:11,741 --> 00:42:17,705
and so, um, she goes down
this "rabbit hole,"
784
00:42:17,747 --> 00:42:20,875
they like to say, and that's
what she called it too.
785
00:42:20,917 --> 00:42:22,960
Immediately--the first night
she found out about this shit,
786
00:42:23,002 --> 00:42:25,296
she admitted that she
was up all night reading it,
787
00:42:25,338 --> 00:42:26,798
that she hadn't slept.
788
00:42:26,839 --> 00:42:28,633
The very next message
I have from her is,
789
00:42:28,674 --> 00:42:31,719
"I've been up all night.
Haven't slept."
790
00:42:31,761 --> 00:42:34,680
Like, she was immediately
that hyper-fixated
791
00:42:34,722 --> 00:42:38,017
that she forgot
everything else.
792
00:42:38,059 --> 00:42:40,186
We never disagreed on anything!
793
00:42:40,228 --> 00:42:42,480
Like, we grew up,
same mind on all this stuff.
794
00:42:42,522 --> 00:42:44,148
So sh--I'm just blown away
795
00:42:44,190 --> 00:42:47,527
when she's like,
"No, you have to understand,
796
00:42:47,568 --> 00:42:48,986
"Donald Trump
is the only person
797
00:42:49,028 --> 00:42:50,363
"that knows about all this
798
00:42:50,405 --> 00:42:52,698
and that wants to do anything
about this."
799
00:42:52,740 --> 00:42:54,742
- What do you think
she was looking for?
800
00:42:54,784 --> 00:42:57,829
- I think
she was looking for a purpose,
801
00:42:57,870 --> 00:43:00,248
and I think,
for her, that created--
802
00:43:00,289 --> 00:43:02,500
like, she felt like
a failure to launch.
803
00:43:02,542 --> 00:43:04,127
She felt like a loser.
804
00:43:04,168 --> 00:43:07,505
She felt like, you know,
she had no purpose
805
00:43:07,547 --> 00:43:09,340
other than drain society,
806
00:43:09,382 --> 00:43:12,009
which was totally
the opposite of what she was.
807
00:43:12,051 --> 00:43:14,637
She was everyone's support
who needed her.
808
00:43:14,679 --> 00:43:17,890
I think
she just found in QAnon
809
00:43:17,932 --> 00:43:22,478
all of the things that she,
at that moment, needed.
810
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:26,733
* *
811
00:43:26,774 --> 00:43:32,363
It was gonna be an opportunity
to rescue these children
812
00:43:32,405 --> 00:43:37,702
and be a part of something huge
and historic and productive.
813
00:43:37,744 --> 00:43:40,371
And for once,
it wasn't gonna be, you know,
814
00:43:40,413 --> 00:43:43,666
"I'm not being found
in the Walmart parking lot
815
00:43:43,708 --> 00:43:45,001
"with foam coming out
of my mouth
816
00:43:45,043 --> 00:43:47,086
and a needle hanging
out of my arm."
817
00:43:47,128 --> 00:43:49,505
You know, "This
is something I can be proud of
818
00:43:49,547 --> 00:43:50,923
is fighting for this."
819
00:43:50,965 --> 00:43:52,925
I wish I had really tried
more to stop it,
820
00:43:52,967 --> 00:43:54,886
but I thought, "You know,
what harm is it gonna do
821
00:43:54,927 --> 00:43:56,846
for her to just
keep posting this shit?"
822
00:43:56,888 --> 00:43:58,598
- Right. Well, and you've said
that it happened
823
00:43:58,639 --> 00:44:00,892
really, really fast.
- It did.
824
00:44:00,933 --> 00:44:03,061
Literally just
less than a year.
825
00:44:03,102 --> 00:44:06,064
- Yeah.
- Less than six months, really.
826
00:44:06,105 --> 00:44:11,611
I just woke up one morning,
on the 7th, I guess.
827
00:44:11,652 --> 00:44:15,073
A friend of mine
had sent me a text,
828
00:44:15,114 --> 00:44:17,909
and she was like, "Oh my God,
I can't believe this."
829
00:44:17,950 --> 00:44:20,787
And she had attached
a news story,
830
00:44:20,828 --> 00:44:24,582
and I just remember screaming.
831
00:44:24,624 --> 00:44:27,293
[sniffs]
832
00:44:27,335 --> 00:44:29,587
Just like that,
my best friend is gone.
833
00:44:29,629 --> 00:44:34,884
My person, the only person
who knows me on this planet.
834
00:44:34,926 --> 00:44:37,678
She's the only person
on this planet who remembers
835
00:44:37,720 --> 00:44:40,932
everything about my life
836
00:44:40,973 --> 00:44:44,727
and can talk about things
with me
837
00:44:44,769 --> 00:44:46,687
and can frame things for me.
838
00:44:46,729 --> 00:44:48,940
"Well, Sarah,
this is why you do that,
839
00:44:48,981 --> 00:44:50,942
"'cause don't you remember,
840
00:44:50,983 --> 00:44:54,320
your grandma
was kind of like this way?"
841
00:44:54,362 --> 00:44:55,780
That's valuable.
842
00:44:55,822 --> 00:44:57,907
Like, I would have done
whatever it took
843
00:44:57,949 --> 00:45:00,159
to make this not happen.
844
00:45:00,201 --> 00:45:02,078
[somber music]
845
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,039
And I'm being selfish
for my fucking self.
846
00:45:05,081 --> 00:45:07,792
I would have done everything
to make this not happen
847
00:45:07,834 --> 00:45:09,794
for her, for the world.
848
00:45:09,836 --> 00:45:12,880
People needed what she had.
849
00:45:12,922 --> 00:45:15,758
And now nobody will have it.
850
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,136
* *
851
00:45:18,177 --> 00:45:20,263
- It helps me understand more
this sort of
852
00:45:20,304 --> 00:45:22,014
"search for meaning"
piece of this.
853
00:45:22,056 --> 00:45:23,766
It does seem like Rosanne
854
00:45:23,808 --> 00:45:25,935
really wanted something
to believe in
855
00:45:25,977 --> 00:45:31,274
and something that,
more than that, made her feel
856
00:45:31,315 --> 00:45:33,317
like she was working
towards something.
857
00:45:33,359 --> 00:45:38,030
* *
858
00:45:38,072 --> 00:45:39,615
- Okay. Here we go. Here we go.
859
00:45:39,657 --> 00:45:41,325
This is what I was looking for.
860
00:45:41,367 --> 00:45:43,828
She says, "I want to say
thank you to everyone
861
00:45:43,870 --> 00:45:45,371
"involved in this movement.
862
00:45:45,413 --> 00:45:47,248
"My family thinks I'm crazy,
863
00:45:47,290 --> 00:45:50,668
"but I'm heading up from ATL
to be shoulder to shoulder
864
00:45:50,710 --> 00:45:52,587
"with my true brothers
and sisters.
865
00:45:52,628 --> 00:45:58,509
"I finally feel like everything
and everyone has a purpose.
866
00:45:58,551 --> 00:46:03,765
"And I'm super grateful that
God kept me alive long enough
867
00:46:03,806 --> 00:46:07,894
"and woke me up just in time
to see all this.
868
00:46:07,935 --> 00:46:10,605
"So thank you.
God bless you all.
869
00:46:10,646 --> 00:46:14,776
See you on the 6th.
Where we go one, we go all."
870
00:46:14,817 --> 00:46:18,988
It brings me
a small measure of comfort
871
00:46:19,030 --> 00:46:21,824
that her final act
872
00:46:21,866 --> 00:46:26,788
was, in her mind, so heroic.
873
00:46:26,829 --> 00:46:29,582
So heroic and brave.
874
00:46:29,624 --> 00:46:31,209
- I came here to figure out
875
00:46:31,250 --> 00:46:34,754
what brought Rosanne Boyland
to the Capitol.
876
00:46:34,796 --> 00:46:36,047
Purpose.
877
00:46:36,089 --> 00:46:37,840
Like, she said it herself
in her own words,
878
00:46:37,882 --> 00:46:41,386
and that, I think
was really meaningful.
879
00:46:41,427 --> 00:46:44,389
* *
880
00:46:52,105 --> 00:46:55,274
[tense music]
881
00:46:55,316 --> 00:47:00,780

882
00:47:00,822 --> 00:47:01,823
[computer dings]
883
00:47:01,864 --> 00:47:03,783
- Howdy.
884
00:47:03,825 --> 00:47:05,660
- What's up, Maryam?
- What's up?
885
00:47:05,701 --> 00:47:08,621
Okay, here we go.
Okay. I'm ready.
886
00:47:08,663 --> 00:47:10,248
[dramatic musical sting]
887
00:47:10,289 --> 00:47:11,749
- All right, guys,
thanks for tuning in.
888
00:47:11,791 --> 00:47:13,584
First of all, today we're
gonna be hearing a conversation
889
00:47:13,626 --> 00:47:16,254
between myself
and my friend Maryam Henein.
890
00:47:16,295 --> 00:47:19,382
She and her partner,
Zach Vorhies,
891
00:47:19,424 --> 00:47:21,801
the Google whistleblower,
do a lot of work together.
892
00:47:21,843 --> 00:47:25,304
Maryam's been a health freedom
advocate for a long time,
893
00:47:25,346 --> 00:47:28,307
and now she is finding herself
part of another club:
894
00:47:28,349 --> 00:47:31,060
people who are getting their
bank accounts shut off
895
00:47:31,102 --> 00:47:34,147
because they don't hold
the right political views.
896
00:47:34,188 --> 00:47:35,523
- So this is the story
from the "New York Post"
897
00:47:35,565 --> 00:47:38,609
"JPMorgan Chase accused
of purging accounts
898
00:47:38,651 --> 00:47:39,944
of conservative activists."
899
00:47:39,986 --> 00:47:43,281
- They sent us this little
letter that just said,
900
00:47:43,322 --> 00:47:46,701
"You represent reputational
risk to our bank,
901
00:47:46,743 --> 00:47:51,289
and so therefore we're
canceling those two accounts."
902
00:47:51,330 --> 00:47:54,250
- Recently, Maryam had her bank
account for her business
903
00:47:54,292 --> 00:47:55,710
completely shut down.
904
00:47:55,752 --> 00:47:57,587
And we're gonna be right back
with the interview
905
00:47:57,628 --> 00:47:59,005
after this.
906
00:47:59,047 --> 00:48:01,299
Collagen is taking the world
by storm right now
907
00:48:01,340 --> 00:48:02,925
and for a very good reason.
908
00:48:02,967 --> 00:48:05,678
And you can try it today
for 51% off
909
00:48:05,720 --> 00:48:08,181
by going to my special website.
910
00:48:08,222 --> 00:48:10,183
All right, everyone.
Welcome back.
911
00:48:10,224 --> 00:48:12,101
Maryam, how are you?
912
00:48:12,143 --> 00:48:14,896
- I'm well.
Thank you for having me on.
913
00:48:14,937 --> 00:48:16,355
- Yeah. No problem.
914
00:48:16,397 --> 00:48:19,942
- And it was my business,
just to make that distinction.
915
00:48:19,984 --> 00:48:23,613
They did say that they
would send a check.
916
00:48:23,654 --> 00:48:26,616
And so that's on its way.
917
00:48:26,657 --> 00:48:28,868
And I asked, "Why?
918
00:48:28,910 --> 00:48:31,370
"Is it because
I'm unvaccinated vermin?
919
00:48:31,412 --> 00:48:33,539
Is it because I sell vitamins?"
920
00:48:33,581 --> 00:48:37,126
And they straight up say,
"We don't have to give you
921
00:48:37,168 --> 00:48:41,047
a reason why
we've canceled you."
922
00:48:41,089 --> 00:48:42,673
I'm not doing anything wrong.
923
00:48:42,715 --> 00:48:46,844
I'm a successful, intelligent,
hardworking entrepreneur
924
00:48:46,886 --> 00:48:49,222
that actually cares about
people's health,
925
00:48:49,263 --> 00:48:51,307
wants to empower people.
926
00:48:51,349 --> 00:48:54,310
And how do I explain
to my parents
927
00:48:54,352 --> 00:48:56,270
that I'm not an eff-up?
928
00:48:56,312 --> 00:48:59,440
That there's a reason
why a 48-year-old woman
929
00:48:59,482 --> 00:49:01,275
is in need of help
930
00:49:01,317 --> 00:49:03,736
because she doesn't have
access to her funds?
931
00:49:03,778 --> 00:49:05,696
- Right. Well, thanks a lot...
- Thank you.
932
00:49:05,738 --> 00:49:07,281
- For getting in touch
with me, Maryam.
933
00:49:07,323 --> 00:49:08,741
I appreciate it, and say hi
to Zach for me too.
934
00:49:08,783 --> 00:49:10,118
- I will. Bye.
935
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:13,996
I've been totally attacked.
936
00:49:14,038 --> 00:49:17,583
I'm banned from PayPal.
937
00:49:17,625 --> 00:49:22,839
I've lost channels on YouTube.
I'm banned from Amazon.
938
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:26,092
I just got shut down by Chase.
939
00:49:27,427 --> 00:49:29,512
[sighs]
940
00:49:29,554 --> 00:49:33,224
My livelihood
is totally impacted.
941
00:49:33,266 --> 00:49:36,102
I'm on food stamps
942
00:49:36,144 --> 00:49:40,690
and constantly struggling.
943
00:49:41,482 --> 00:49:42,942
- If you find out
about this stuff,
944
00:49:42,984 --> 00:49:44,152
if you get obsessive
945
00:49:44,193 --> 00:49:45,611
about these
conspiracy theories,
946
00:49:45,653 --> 00:49:48,781
what it does is it wrecks
who you are as a person.
947
00:49:48,823 --> 00:49:50,366
It separates you from society.
948
00:49:50,408 --> 00:49:52,201
You think that your friends
and family would be happy
949
00:49:52,243 --> 00:49:53,453
to find out
that they've been lied to,
950
00:49:53,494 --> 00:49:55,663
but instead they turn on you.
951
00:49:55,705 --> 00:49:57,457
[somber music]
952
00:49:57,498 --> 00:50:00,585
- Yeah, I've lost lots
of supposed friends.
953
00:50:00,626 --> 00:50:03,629
Over and over again,
"What's happened to you?"
954
00:50:03,671 --> 00:50:05,465
If you give a shit
about what's happened to me,
955
00:50:05,506 --> 00:50:07,759
pick up the phone
and speak to me
956
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:08,968
and ask me what's happened.
957
00:50:09,010 --> 00:50:10,678
Nothing's happened to me.
958
00:50:12,346 --> 00:50:14,223
My mother said
she "disagrees" with me,
959
00:50:14,265 --> 00:50:16,142
but she hasn't read anything
that I've read,
960
00:50:16,184 --> 00:50:17,351
and she doesn't know
961
00:50:17,393 --> 00:50:18,895
what the fuck
she's disagreeing with.
962
00:50:18,936 --> 00:50:20,605
My parents are vaccinated.
963
00:50:20,646 --> 00:50:22,607
My dad worked for Pfizer.
964
00:50:22,648 --> 00:50:25,318
And my dad said,
straight up, quote,
965
00:50:25,359 --> 00:50:27,487
"I don't care
what you have to say."
966
00:50:27,528 --> 00:50:31,199
* *
967
00:50:31,240 --> 00:50:33,159
The people that I thought
were intellectuals
968
00:50:33,201 --> 00:50:36,829
don't really think
for themselves anymore.
969
00:50:36,871 --> 00:50:38,247
Right?
- Mm-hmm.
970
00:50:38,289 --> 00:50:41,542
- Or they have
this huge blind spot.
971
00:50:41,584 --> 00:50:42,543
- Doesn't matter.
972
00:50:42,585 --> 00:50:44,212
I don't even like
the old friends.
973
00:50:44,253 --> 00:50:45,630
Like, I want to get new friends
974
00:50:45,671 --> 00:50:48,466
'cause the new friends
treat me different.
975
00:50:48,508 --> 00:50:53,137
This polarization is happening
all over America.
976
00:50:53,179 --> 00:50:55,556
It's almost biblical
where they talk about
977
00:50:55,598 --> 00:50:58,851
how family--brother would turn
against brother,
978
00:50:58,893 --> 00:51:00,353
father against son.
979
00:51:03,147 --> 00:51:04,690
- Very little.
980
00:51:15,910 --> 00:51:18,079
- He thinks something darker
is happening with me.
981
00:51:18,121 --> 00:51:19,747
I miss my dad all the time.
982
00:51:19,789 --> 00:51:22,041
I wish, like--
he used to be my confidant.
983
00:51:22,083 --> 00:51:24,919
You know, he used to be
the person that I looked up to.
984
00:51:24,961 --> 00:51:26,379
I can't even talk to him
anymore
985
00:51:26,421 --> 00:51:29,215
without us getting
into, like, a fight
986
00:51:29,257 --> 00:51:31,509
where we start screaming
at each other.
987
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:34,762
And I don't know
whether I'm gonna ever have
988
00:51:34,804 --> 00:51:37,598
a good relationship
with him again.
989
00:51:41,018 --> 00:51:42,478
I'm sorry.
990
00:51:45,940 --> 00:51:47,734
[pensive music]
991
00:51:47,775 --> 00:51:50,403
Just hold the whole screen
'cause this is gonna pop off.
992
00:51:50,445 --> 00:51:52,697
- Okay.
[drill whirs]
993
00:51:52,739 --> 00:51:53,906
- Thank you.
- Thank you. That's it.
994
00:51:53,948 --> 00:51:55,575
- I believe in freedom,
995
00:51:55,616 --> 00:51:57,744
and I don't want to play
these games anymore.
996
00:51:57,785 --> 00:51:58,828
Okay.
997
00:51:58,870 --> 00:52:00,747
At this point, I am trying
998
00:52:00,788 --> 00:52:04,125
to save myself
by escaping San Francisco.
999
00:52:05,251 --> 00:52:06,711
I never liked San Francisco.
1000
00:52:06,753 --> 00:52:09,922
Especially don't like it
now with the 'rona
1001
00:52:09,964 --> 00:52:11,299
and these mandates.
1002
00:52:13,551 --> 00:52:19,265
And so I'm leaving
to go to Florida
1003
00:52:19,307 --> 00:52:23,436
to maybe just buy some time
1004
00:52:23,478 --> 00:52:26,147
and then figure out whether I
need to leave America.
1005
00:52:26,189 --> 00:52:29,609
I mean, lots of people who...
1006
00:52:29,650 --> 00:52:34,530
don't believe in this vaccine
are in the same position.
1007
00:52:35,990 --> 00:52:37,950
- [grunts]
1008
00:52:37,992 --> 00:52:40,828
In all possibility,
I'm gonna be following her
1009
00:52:40,870 --> 00:52:42,455
in a few weeks myself.
1010
00:52:42,497 --> 00:52:43,790
- There's one underneath.
1011
00:52:45,750 --> 00:52:49,212
We're all in the same boat of,
where are we gonna feel safe?
1012
00:52:49,253 --> 00:52:51,506
Are they gonna take us
to the gulag
1013
00:52:51,547 --> 00:52:54,550
because we're
unvaccinated vermin?
1014
00:52:56,511 --> 00:52:58,846
I will continue
to pack everything
1015
00:52:58,888 --> 00:53:00,473
and have it all sorted,
1016
00:53:00,515 --> 00:53:02,934
and then we can just
circle back.
1017
00:53:02,975 --> 00:53:06,813
But are you pretty much
have come to terms
1018
00:53:06,854 --> 00:53:08,106
with the fact that
you're leaving this--
1019
00:53:08,147 --> 00:53:11,526
- I have to leave.
This city isn't safe for me.
1020
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,278
Like, I was in doubt
that it was happening.
1021
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:15,780
I was like,
"Oh, it's not gonna happen."
1022
00:53:15,822 --> 00:53:18,074
And then it's like, boom,
now they're trying to push
1023
00:53:18,116 --> 00:53:22,161
for unvaccinated to not
be able to travel on airplanes.
1024
00:53:22,203 --> 00:53:24,747
At what step
am I not gonna be able
1025
00:53:24,789 --> 00:53:27,708
to even drive across
state boundaries?
1026
00:53:27,750 --> 00:53:29,711
- Well,
there'll be checkpoints.
1027
00:53:29,752 --> 00:53:32,505
Maybe by the time you go
there might be a checkpoint.
1028
00:53:32,547 --> 00:53:34,132
- Maybe.
Maybe it'll happen in 30 days.
1029
00:53:34,173 --> 00:53:36,384
I don't think so.
1030
00:53:36,426 --> 00:53:38,469
I think I got
a little bit more time.
1031
00:53:38,511 --> 00:53:40,555
[tense music]
1032
00:53:40,596 --> 00:53:43,391
- I would love to be making
plans with Zach.
1033
00:53:43,433 --> 00:53:46,769
I hope to be with him.
I adore him.

1035
00:53:48,813 --> 00:53:50,857

- Hello?
1041
00:54:15,506 --> 00:54:17,341
- Same to you, Billy.
1042
00:54:20,970 --> 00:54:22,180
- I will.
1043
00:54:22,221 --> 00:54:23,765
- Pauline, gonna leave
in about two minutes.

00:54:23,806 --> 00:54:26,059
- All right, well, we're
getting ready to leave here.
1045
00:54:30,104 --> 00:54:32,231
- All right. You too, Billy.
1046
00:54:32,273 --> 00:54:34,317
- So is he coming?
1047
00:54:38,446 --> 00:54:40,031
- So he doesn't have to go?
1048
00:54:42,450 --> 00:54:44,285
- Okay.
- All right.
1049
00:54:44,327 --> 00:54:51,417
* *
1050
00:54:53,336 --> 00:54:55,421
- I'm a little nervous.
1051
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:06,391
- You ready to go
do this thing?
1052
00:55:06,432 --> 00:55:08,309
- Yeah.
1053
00:55:08,351 --> 00:55:15,483
* *
1054
00:55:17,485 --> 00:55:18,653
- Okay.
1055
00:55:28,788 --> 00:55:30,665
- Your stomach's messed up?
1056
00:55:41,342 --> 00:55:45,221
- What are you concerned about
today specifically?
1057
00:55:45,263 --> 00:55:48,057
- I'm concerned because
the prosecution has asked
1058
00:55:48,099 --> 00:55:50,560
for my conditions of release
to be revoked
1059
00:55:50,601 --> 00:55:52,645
and hold me in contempt.
1060
00:55:53,938 --> 00:55:58,109
I mean, you guys
have spent three days with me.
1061
00:55:59,444 --> 00:56:01,863
Do you feel
I'm a danger to society?
1062
00:56:03,030 --> 00:56:05,324
I mean, do I walk around
with a weapon on me?
1063
00:56:05,366 --> 00:56:08,745
Do I harm anyone?
1064
00:56:13,249 --> 00:56:16,419
I hug people.
[laughs] I don't harm people.
1065
00:56:21,674 --> 00:56:23,509
- All right. All right.
1066
00:56:23,551 --> 00:56:26,095
And we're off to the races.
1067
00:56:26,137 --> 00:56:29,057
[pensive music]
1068
00:56:29,098 --> 00:56:36,064
* *
1069
00:56:43,112 --> 00:56:46,407
I don't care if they flood it
or blow it up.
1070
00:56:46,449 --> 00:56:48,451
It's a satanic city.
1071
00:56:49,410 --> 00:56:52,371
[tense music]
1072
00:56:52,413 --> 00:56:59,504
* *
1073
00:57:06,469 --> 00:57:09,806
MSM is the whole reason why
this country's so messed up,
1074
00:57:09,847 --> 00:57:11,974
'cause they're owned
by six companies.
1075
00:57:14,477 --> 00:57:17,480
George Soros-funded companies.
1076
00:57:22,235 --> 00:57:24,195
You print lies.
1077
00:57:32,161 --> 00:57:33,538
- None of your business.
1078
00:57:33,579 --> 00:57:35,123
[laughter]
1079
00:57:53,516 --> 00:57:55,518
- Am I gonna have a choice?
1080
00:57:58,312 --> 00:58:00,857
I mean, our court systems
are corrupt.
1081
00:58:01,816 --> 00:58:04,777
They've been compromised.
1082
00:58:06,821 --> 00:58:09,741
[foreboding music]
1083
00:58:09,782 --> 00:58:16,914
* *
1084
00:58:34,932 --> 00:58:36,267
- Okay.
1085
00:58:36,309 --> 00:58:38,770
The judge is in the room.
1086
00:59:09,717 --> 00:59:12,261
[dramatic music]
1087
00:59:45,670 --> 00:59:47,171
- Hmm.
1088
01:00:00,435 --> 01:00:02,270
- He's gonna lock her up.
1089
01:00:19,203 --> 01:00:21,664
- The judge said she believes
she's above the law
1090
01:00:21,706 --> 01:00:23,207
and he can't allow that.
1091
01:00:23,249 --> 01:00:25,418
She's not claiming to be
above the law.
1092
01:00:25,460 --> 01:00:28,713
She's claiming that the judge
needs to follow the law.
1093
01:00:30,173 --> 01:00:31,883
So he's taking her
into custody.
1094
01:00:31,924 --> 01:00:33,342
He's locking her up.
1095
01:00:36,220 --> 01:00:37,722
- Oh, my God.
1096
01:00:37,764 --> 01:00:43,061
* *
1097
01:00:55,114 --> 01:00:57,617
- Now he's holding her
in contempt of court.
1098
01:00:57,658 --> 01:01:01,162
And he wouldn't allow her
to testify to give testimony!
1099
01:01:01,204 --> 01:01:04,540
To rebut that shit made up
by the prosecution!
1100
01:01:04,582 --> 01:01:06,417
The judge is full of shit.
1101
01:01:06,459 --> 01:01:09,545
- Let's see, there were two,
four, six, eight marshals.
1102
01:01:09,587 --> 01:01:12,924
We're talking about a lady
that runs a restaurant.
1103
01:01:12,965 --> 01:01:14,300
Not somebody--
1104
01:01:14,342 --> 01:01:17,053
they treat terrorists better
than they did her.
1105
01:01:17,095 --> 01:01:19,555
Then they wanna know why
so many people
1106
01:01:19,597 --> 01:01:21,432
are buying weapons and ammo.
1107
01:01:21,474 --> 01:01:22,892
There you have it.
1108
01:01:28,064 --> 01:01:30,441
- Yeah, about--
she's looking at 30 days,
1109
01:01:30,483 --> 01:01:31,401
by my understanding.
1110
01:01:34,112 --> 01:01:37,323
- She said she'd rather be
shot then put back in prison.
1111
01:01:37,365 --> 01:01:38,741
- We're at war!
1112
01:01:38,783 --> 01:01:40,701
We're at war
with the court systems.
1113
01:01:40,743 --> 01:01:42,620
We're at war
with the Bar Association.
1114
01:01:42,662 --> 01:01:45,331
We're at war because the rule
of law in this country
1115
01:01:45,373 --> 01:01:46,666
has been eliminated!
1116
01:01:46,707 --> 01:01:49,669
[tense music]
1117
01:01:49,711 --> 01:01:53,798
* *
1118
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:03,933
[tense music]
1119
01:02:03,975 --> 01:02:05,476
What's happening?
1120
01:02:18,156 --> 01:02:19,824
[sobbing]
1121
01:02:19,866 --> 01:02:21,242
- So the basic thing
1122
01:02:21,284 --> 01:02:23,035
I'm working on
is sort of the intersection
1123
01:02:23,077 --> 01:02:27,081
of conspiricism and capitalism,
essentially.
1124
01:02:27,123 --> 01:02:28,583
The way that
conspiracy theories
1125
01:02:28,624 --> 01:02:29,751
sell themselves.
1126
01:02:29,792 --> 01:02:30,960
- My belief is this was
1127
01:02:31,002 --> 01:02:33,171
completely, 100% planned.
1128
01:02:33,212 --> 01:02:35,757
- A warning tonight
about a fake coronavirus cure
1129
01:02:35,798 --> 01:02:36,841
being sold.
1130
01:02:36,883 --> 01:02:38,134
- Should I be worried about me
1131
01:02:38,176 --> 01:02:39,469
being put in jail,
like yourself?
1132
01:02:39,510 --> 01:02:41,179
- I'm not gonna say 100%
1133
01:02:41,220 --> 01:02:42,722
they won't arrest you.
1134
01:02:42,764 --> 01:02:44,432
* *
1135
01:02:44,474 --> 01:02:46,350
Look at us.
