Filmmaker Nick Searcy talks to Mike Adams about "Capitol Punishment" documentary
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
All of the people that died that day died at the hands of the Capitol Police.
And the other thing that they never tell you is how many people were actually there.
That was one of the biggest things that made us want to make the film.
They only showed this little sliver of the things that were happening at the Capitol.
The broken windows and the vandalism and the violence.
There were millions of people there.
Probably two million people.
And most of those people didn't even go near the Capitol.
And they never reported on any of that.
Welcome to the Health Ranger Report on Brighton.tv.
I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, the founder of Brighteon.
Today, we're going to be joined by filmmaker extraordinaire Nick Searcy.
And his new film that came out kind of late last year is Capital Punishment.
It's about the January 6th situation.
And we've learned a lot about that situation since, by the way.
Of course, it was designated an insurrection by the corporate-controlled globalist left.
But there's a different...
A narrative that needs to be explored.
In fact, the narrative that I think is correct, and that's what Nick Searcy explores in his incredible film, Capital Punishment.
He's going to join us today to talk about what's in that film, how you can view it, and also his thoughts on events that are happening in the world today, and really what J6 has in common with other things that we're seeing unfold right now.
Maybe even how we can stay informed.
So we'll be right back with Nick Searcy after this break.
Stay with us here on Brighteon TV. All right, welcome back to Brighton.tv, Health Ranger Report Show.
Nick, welcome to the show.
I'm a fan of yours.
You've done incredible work.
I know you have a lot more, but welcome.
It's an honor to speak with you.
Mike, thanks for having me.
It's an honor to be here.
Well, I appreciate so much what you do where so much of the left, the political left in America today, they control Hollywood for the most part, and they love to make documentaries to support their false narratives.
I mean, so-called documentaries.
They'll actually create fictional pieces.
They call them documentaries or drama pieces, but they're completely made up.
You've seen that in Hollywood, right?
Yeah.
Oh, over and over again, the Michael Moore movies, and then HBO just released a four-hour documentary about January 6th, which was filled with lies and half-truths and selective editing and all that stuff they always accuse us of doing.
Right.
So your film, Capital Punishment, tell us about that and what you did to create it.
Well, I was there on January 6th, as was my partner Chris Burgard, and we went just because we wanted to be there, not necessarily because we thought we were making a film.
And then when we got home and we saw the way it was being reported on the news, it didn't match up with anything that we had personally experienced.
And so that is how the movie kind of came about as people began to be systematically persecuted by the government just for showing up.
People that weren't even, weren't violent, didn't go in the building and all that.
We sort of felt the call to let's make a movie about this and tell the real story of the real people that were there that didn't do anything wrong and are still being persecuted.
Now, first of all, for those people who want to watch the film, you told me they can get it at CapitalPunishmentTheMovie.com.
Right.
CapitalPunishmentTheMovie.com and also at HisGlory.tv.
There's two places you can find the film, right?
Okay, great.
HisGlory.tv.
That's Dave Scarlett's site.
And remember, folks, you spell capital with a T-O-L. Not like capital letters, but like the Capitol building, T-O-L. So, CapitalPunishmentTheMovie.com.
So, Nick, what have you now learned since you put this film together?
It's been a few months.
What have you now learned that underscores, even more importantly, the things that you put into the film?
Well, you know, that was one of the things editing.
It was sort of every day there was something more coming out, and so it was hard to stay above the – to keep up with the news cycle.
But since we've edited the film, it's come out more and more about what Ray Epps actually did when he was there and the other FBI informants that none of whom have been named by the Department of Justice or the FBI as as people that need to be investigated.
And that's because they were in on it.
And another thing that's come out since then is that there have been three more angles of the death of Ashley Babbitt that have come out films, iPhone videos and things that people have found showing that Ashley Babbitt what she was actually doing when she was there, which is totally different iPhone videos and things that people have found showing that Ashley Babbitt what she was actually doing She was there yelling at people to stop breaking the windows.
She was talking to the police saying, you need more reinforcements up here.
Why are you not doing your job?
She was actually, they portray her as some sort of crazed right-wing activist, and she was actually there trying to stop what was happening.
And it's really breathtaking the way they've lied about it and things that they've done to people, to Americans.
And some of those media lies, we saw them at first describing this as a deadly insurrection, and then they failed to mention, well, the only person shot was shot by the Capitol Police, as you just mentioned, Ashley Babbitt.
So they don't mention, well, the death came from the Capitol Police side, or was it a security person there?
Who was that?
That was a security guard named, well, he was part of the Capitol Police.
His name is Michael Byrd, I believe.
But there were other, Roseanne Boylan, another lady that died that day.
It's since come out, Julie Kelly's been reporting on this, that she was probably beaten to death and trampled by the Capitol Police.
So all of the people that died that day died at the hands of the Capitol Police.
And the other thing that they never tell you is how many people were actually there.
That was one of the biggest things that made us want to make the film.
They only showed this little sliver of the things that were happening at the Capitol with the broken windows and the vandalism and the violence.
There were millions of people there.
Probably 2 million people.
And most of those people didn't even go near the Capitol.
And they never reported on any of that.
And it's extraordinary then that even people who were there committing no vandalism and no violence whatsoever have been arrested, hundreds of them, and held in conditions we can only call being political prisoners in jails in D.C. ever since that day or when they were arrested soon thereafter.
Do you think it's accurate to describe them as political prisoners in America?
Without a doubt.
I mean, they're there.
They're not allowed access to their attorneys.
They're not allowed.
They're not even allowed to see the evidence that is going to be presented against them, which is basic law.
And they're not allowed to contact their families.
Just recently, a man named Matthew Perna They committed suicide after a year of being put through this.
And it's just the way that they have devastated people, ruined their lives, ruined their businesses, turned families against each other.
I mean, it's really, really, it's like something you would see in a totalitarian state, in a communist state.
See, I'm glad you brought that up because when you and I grew up, we were told that totalitarian regimes like the Soviet Union would have political prisoners or communist China or North Korea.
And now it's America.
Well, I wouldn't say it's not the legitimate America.
It's the rigged, stolen, it's the occupied America, maybe is a better way to say it.
Very clearly, what the Biden regime is doing to the American people is what the Soviet Union used to do to political prisoners in the gulags of old Russia, right?
Yes, and it's something that, you know, since leftists have completely taken over the Democrat Party in the last 15-20 years, and some of the Republican Party, I might add.
They've always emulated that sort of totalitarian power.
You hear Obama talk, we can't do things like China because we just don't have the kind of power that they do.
It'd be great if we did.
So they have aspired to have this sort of power for decades now, and now they're practicing it.
And what they're doing to these people is done intentionally.
Not only to punish them, but to send a message and to scare other people in the community to just go, okay, look what they did to those people, and they didn't even do anything wrong.
I'm going to keep my mouth shut.
I'm never going to oppose them because I don't want to wind up like the January 6th people.
Yeah, exactly.
It's intimidation and psychological terrorism, really.
Intentional, yeah.
Intentional, that's right.
Now, you're a filmmaker.
You've made lots of films.
How many films have you made in your life here?
Well, as an actor, I've done quite a number of films, over 130-some things on IMDb, some of which I don't even remember.
But as a director and producer, I've made three films.
Gosnell, the movie about the abortion doctor, which I directed.
And then in the last two years, I've made two documentaries, God Shed His Grace on Me, and then the current one, Capital Punishment.
So, in all of these cases, but especially the Gosnell film, you and your entire crew were viciously attacked, defamed, slandered, threatened.
I recall, I think you actually had some actors so severely threatened that they quit in the middle of the production, right?
Is that a correct memory?
Well, you know, I think you might be talking about Roe vs.
Wade.
They had a little bit more of that sort of thing than we did.
We didn't have actors quit.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, we had actors that were afraid to do the film before we started, but once we got started, we were pretty much on board the whole way through.
Well, and just for our viewers who may not recall, Gosnell, you know, this is depicting that horrific abortion murderer whose, what, the basement of his home was filled with tissue from the murdered babies, and he had carried on for many, many years as an actual murderer.
Well, he ran a clinic, a women's health clinic in Philadelphia, that wasn't inspected for 17 years.
And he had developed this way of doing abortions that was illegal, but it increased his volume.
He was able to do more of them.
And the way he did it was he would give the mothers birth-inducing drugs, inducing birth, and then killing the baby after it had been born.
And this went on for decades.
I mean, we don't even know how many babies were murdered this way, but he was convicted for murdering three of them.
So is he currently serving a sentence?
He's still in jail.
Life without parole is what it is.
Now, since then, some of the things that we've learned that have come out, even based on the whole COVID FDA research documents, we've learned that the FDA had a designated buyer of aborted human fetal tissue.
They would run around buying human baby skulls and heads and organs to be used in humanized mice experiments that were rather grotesque.
And then there were aborted human fetal tissue samples used in the vaccine development and so on.
What are your thoughts about, since you made Gosnell, that film, don't you feel like America has awakened a lot more to the horrors of abortion?
I think they have, but what I think we've learned is that there's a really sick and pervasive market for aborted baby tissue.
And there's a reason why Why these clinics have been allowed to get away with these things for so long, like Gosnell.
It's because there's a market for this stuff.
David Daleiden, the fellow out in California that's currently being prosecuted for that, for exposing this black market of aborted baby parts.
It's come to light more, but what really bothers me is that even though it's come to light, the left doesn't care that it's come to light.
See, that's extraordinary.
I think a lot of Americans don't know their own country.
They don't realize there's systematic murder of human babies.
We have political prisoners in filthy jails in D.C. because of January 6th.
And by the way, I'll add this.
Right now there are economic sanctions against Russia for invading Ukraine, but America built a bioweapon and funded it with government money, gain-of-function research, handed it over to China, released it on the world, and there's no economic sanctions against the United States because the United States runs the economic system for now anyway.
What are your thoughts on all that?
Well, I think it's part of a larger picture because what the ultimate goal for the totalitarian left is, is they want the power of life and death.
They want to have the say over who lives and who dies.
And that applies to abortion.
That applies to political prisoners.
They want to make it so that Since there is no divine being, according to them, since there is no divine aspect to life, then any life that is inconvenient to the state can and should be exterminated.
And that's what they want.
That's where we're headed if we don't stop them.
Now, you are a spiritual person.
You're a Christian.
Yes.
Your film is available on Dave Scarlett's website, again, hisglory.tv.
I want to get that right.
What do you think, if God is watching this, which he is, where do you think this is headed on an end times or spiritual realm?
What are your thoughts?
Well, I think, you know, if you're a Bible-believing Christian, you know that it's going to get worse before it gets better, and you know that in the end, we triumph.
But I do think that we're going through a period where all of these things are coming to a head.
I think that where we're headed, I think that when Trump became president, it really pulled the curtain back.
And we can really see what the struggle is now.
And it's not just a political struggle.
It's not just Democrats versus Republicans.
We're in a spiritual war right now.
And the left that has taken over so many aspects of American society, Hollywood, academia, our political system, our judicial system, every aspect of it, they are totally committed to To this completely secular, worldly view of life on this earth.
And that has been exposed, and we have to pray and do our best to put a stop to that.
Well, you say secular, and I understand you're being careful with your words, but I think a lot of our viewers would say, no, it's demonic, it's satanic.
You know, the murder, harvesting of human baby tissue and things like that.
Well, when you get to the point where murder is just not bad, because that's what the left is doing.
It's like some people, if they have wrong views, they deserve to be killed.
Babies that are born inconveniently to parents that can't take care of them, they should just be exterminated.
So the devaluation of human life Because human life has no divine aspect to them, is the real crux of the matter.
Right, exactly.
So really, we can't resolve any of these issues until we get back to recognizing the divinity of life.
That's right.
You can't really come to terms with somebody who wants to erase you from existence.
That's a way to negotiate that.
Yeah, so that's a really important point.
I think what you're saying, if I could paraphrase it, is we really can't coexist with people who hate God and hate life.
I mean, there's no middle ground there.
No, there absolutely isn't.
And they don't want a middle ground.
You know, when they talk about unity, what they really mean is conformity.
They don't want tolerance.
They want you to agree with them.
And if you don't, Then you deserve to be whatever.
You deserve to starve to death.
You deserve to be erased.
You know, what they want to do to me in Hollywood is that I can't work there anymore because I'm not a Democrat, right?
Right.
So they just want to erase you.
If you don't go along with them, they don't want to tolerate you.
They want you gone.
Are you in Texas?
You're wearing a Texas hat.
No, I'm in Tennessee.
Oh, you're in Tennessee?
Yeah.
Which is pretty much Texas.
Tennessee bailed us out a while back.
So we're like brother or sister states.
So yeah.
Well, you would fit right in in Texas for sure.
But let me ask you this.
I often thought that you would be the perfect filmmaker, and I apologize if I'm being too forward, to cover former transgenders who regret the physical maiming and the chemical castration and so on.
Have you thought about covering other types of cultural topics, or is there something else in the works for you?
You know, I'm trying to put together a couple of different things right now, feature films.
I really want to move away from documentaries because what I've really always wanted to do is films like Gosnell, because I think that medium is something that conservatives have kind of ignored and sacrificed.
What Hollywood's done to sort of Quote, unquote, conservative films is put them in a little box and call them faith-based films.
And what that is in Hollywood is that's code.
If they say something's faith-based, it means if you're not a Christian, don't watch this.
So what I want to do is try to make films...
Kind of like what The Daily Wire is doing, where you make films that are basically just good, mainstream, normal narrative films that happen to have a conservative message, but you don't lead with that.
You don't call it a conservative film.
Well, it's what we used to call normal movies.
Yeah.
Like a good film, yeah.
I think of like Red Dawn with Patrick Swayze back in the 1980s.
It was like, yeah, let's protect America.
Today, suddenly, the left hates that message.
Right, and whenever one of those films comes out, like The Blind Side, or like American Sniper, or like Passion of the Christ, and those kinds of things, those movies do great.
They do well, because that's the kind of movie that America wants to see.
That most people want to see.
And what Hollywood's putting out right now is just a bunch of woke crap that they're trying to impress each other with.
You know, I'm glad you mentioned that.
And it is infuriating.
It's why I don't have Netflix or Amazon Prime.
You know, I don't go to theaters at all.
I only watch certain, you know, I'm very select about what I watch because I'm tired of seeing now every left-wing movie.
I mean, every movie out of Hollywood has to have a transgender character.
Even a TV series.
They have to put transgenders in it now.
It's always small, dainty females beating the crap out of 250-pound male Navy SEALs.
White men are always depicted as bumbling idiots.
Men in general are stupid.
Every lead now has to be, for some reason, a black woman.
Like, color is the only thing that matters.
And You know, it's just incessant wokeism.
Like, they remade Ghostbusters.
It sucked.
Everything that's woke turns to crap.
Like, doesn't Hollywood get the message yet?
Well, I don't think that they're beholden to the box office like they used to be.
You know, when you have everything funded by Netflix or a streaming service like that, you know, you're paying a subscription fee for whatever's on there.
So the consequences of nobody enjoying or watching their garbage, they don't feel that anymore.
And also, I mean, the dirty secret of Hollywood is that a lot of their money comes from our Chinese communist friends who want to destroy the country.
Good point.
A lot of Hollywood movies are made with them in mind, with their money.
I actually had a meeting a couple of years ago before the COVID nonsense hit with a company that was interested in a script that I'd written, and at the end of the meeting they said, well, the villains in here are interesting, but do you have anything that might appeal to the Chinese government?
Wow.
I thought they were kidding.
I started laughing.
I said, no, what do you mean?
And they go, well, you know, like if you made the villains Japanese, the Chinese really hate the Japanese.
I was like, okay, that doesn't, I don't know what the Japanese terrorists at the border would be doing, but let me think about it.
I mean, it was just such a ridiculous thing, but that is, that is pervasive in Hollywood.
Now, you mentioned in the pre-show here that you recently got an opportunity to work with Gina, what's her last name?
Gina Carano.
Carano.
Yeah, and part of a Daily Wire film.
You want to tell us a little bit about that?
Yeah, we made a big bloody western called Terror on the Prairie that the Daily Wire is going to release in June.
And Gina Carano is the star of it.
And I'm the title role.
I'm the terror.
You're the terror?
Oh, wow.
So you played Alec Baldwin, in other words.
And we didn't kill anybody.
Right.
Amazing.
Yeah.
But no, that'll come out in June.
And I've seen some footage from it, and it's really spectacular.
We shot it in Montana.
And Cowboy Cerrone, the MMA fighter, is also in it.
And it's really, I'm really excited for it.
It's going to be great.
So what does it cost to make a film like that these days?
Well, they didn't divulge the budget to me, you know, specifically, but I would guess at the budget being around between four and five million.
That's funny.
I was just thinking about that.
You really can't, you can't make a decent movie for less than a million these days.
Well, there used to be a sweet spot.
There used to be like, and I don't know if this is still the rule, but if you can make a movie for under five million, you're good.
And if you can't make a movie for under five million, you better make it for like 15 million.
I see.
It's like that middle ground there is where it's hard to make your money back.
All right.
Well, fascinating.
I look forward to that film coming out and seeing you playing the terror character.
That should be...
And I also did another film that shot right before Terror on the Prairie that's also going to come out this year called The Old Way with Nicolas Cage.
And I'm kind of the title role in that, too.
I'm the old man.
Is that right?
Wow.
Well, Nicholas Cage certainly has a lot of fans out there, as does Gina, by the way.
Gina's got a huge following now because of her courage, you know, supporting Trump and all the things she did.
Last question, I did mention Alec Baldwin, you know, obviously a tremendous amount of controversy, but overall, what is your understanding of the current state of firearm safety on the set?
Well, you know, the Alec Baldwin situation occurred while we were still shooting Terror on the Prairie.
So it was the topic of a lot of discussion.
And, you know, there's a reason why that the death that occurred on Alec Baldwin's set was the first one that had happened in, I believe, 30 years now.
Maybe more than that.
And I think the reason that is, is if you follow the procedures that every film requires you to follow, these kinds of accidents don't happen.
Every time I was given a gun on the Terror on the Prairie set The armorer brought me the gun, showed me exactly what was in it.
We talked about how many times I was to pull the trigger or not.
I knew exactly what was in that gun every time they handed it to me.
And even if they took it away from me for 30 seconds, when he brought it back to me, he did the exact same thing all over again.
And that's what didn't happen on the Alec Baldwin set, and there's no excuse for that.
There simply is no excuse for that.
That is an accepted, tried-and-true procedure, and it's been done for decades, for a hundred years.
And for it to have happened the way it happened on the Alec Baldwin set, there were so many procedures that were not followed.
The procedures themselves do not need to be overhauled.
There's been all this talking, oh, we're not going to use real guns in movies anymore.
Well, that's nonsense.
That's not the problem.
The problem is you didn't follow the correct safety procedure.
Right, right.
I love how the left-wing media lied and deceived everybody about that at first.
They said, somehow a prop gun went off.
Yeah.
Prop guns are real guns, too.
They have triggers and firing pins and barrels and accelerants in the shells.
Baldwin himself saying he didn't pull the trigger.
Well, that's not how guns work, pal.
You can't fire one if you don't.
Yeah, that's pretty crazy.
And, you know, I've trained for literally thousands of hours with firearms instructors and former special forces and practice and everything.
And I've got to say, in all that time, I've never seen nor caused an accidental discharge of a round, ever.
Because those, I mean, it's about safety.
Yeah.
And the interesting thing about that, too, is that movie that I did with Nicolas Cage, That was the same armorer that did the Alec Baldwin movie.
They said it was her second movie.
The first one was the one I did with Nicolas Cage.
Oh, my.
And she did fine.
I mean, she was young, but there weren't safety issues with her.
She taught me how to shoot a Winchester rifle and how to load one.
And I mean, you know, it's like...
I know that she was not in the room in the Alec Baldwin situation.
She was not allowed to be in the room because of the COVID rules.
So COVID creeps in yet again.
All right.
Well, we appreciate your thoughts, Nick.
And we love what you're doing with your films and exposing or covering topics that, you know, left-wing Hollywood filmmakers won't touch.
I think our audience would agree with me when we say, we hope you keep making films.
Right.
