=== Selling to Netflix (06:03) ===

[00:00:00]  But once it comes out, it will be out on iTunes.
[00:00:04]  It'll be on Amazon, Amazon Prime, Vimeo.
[00:00:07]  It's going to be on 65 different VODs around the world.
[00:00:12]  But here's where it won't be.
[00:00:15]  It won't be on Hulu.
[00:00:16]  It won't be on Netflix.
[00:00:18]  It won't be on any of those.
[00:00:20]  And here's why.
[00:00:22]  Let's say I sold my movie to Netflix, which is a possibility.
[00:00:27]  I could have gone right there.
[00:00:29]  And collected a huge check from Netflix, and they would take my movie.
[00:00:34]  But there's no guarantee.
[00:00:35]  Once they do it, I can't put it on all of those other VODs.
[00:00:39]  I can't put it on iTunes or Amazon Prime or anywhere else.
[00:00:43]  They now have complete control of my movie because they gave me a huge check.
[00:00:47]  Now, most people would love that huge check, right?
[00:00:51]  But not me.
[00:00:52]  And here's why.
[00:00:54]  Once they have it...
[00:00:55]  If there's anyone there who's against meat, someone that might be associated with PETA or that real vegan stronghold, they don't care about giving me a check for whatever, a six-figure check.
[00:01:12]  What they care about is no one ever seeing that movie.
[00:01:16]  They can give me all of that money and then bury that movie.
[00:01:20]  Crazy, right?
[00:01:21]  But that's how far it goes.
[00:01:23]  I want to go back to—well, look, Netflix has become completely censorious.
[00:01:32]  It's frightening.
[00:01:34]  Another utterly damaging big company in the United States.
[00:01:39]  They refused No Safe Spaces, the political documentary of the year last year.
[00:01:46]  Which was excellent, by the way.
[00:01:48]  Thank you very much.
[00:01:49]  It is excellent.
[00:01:50]  I have no problem saying it, and I don't take credit for it even though I'm in it.
[00:01:53]  Anyway, that's a very bad, another bad road.
[00:01:59]  Big tech has gone down.
[00:02:02]  Back to you, though.
[00:02:04]  To the extent that you're free to mention it, I'd just like to understand, I asked you if you have been personally threatened.
[00:02:12]  Is this a rare thing?
[00:02:14]  Is this something that's somewhat constant?
[00:02:21]  For me, it's rare.
[00:02:23]  I think everyone looks at me as this weird kind of cowboy.
[00:02:27]  They know that I have a concealed carry.
[00:02:30]  You know, I'll make that very, very plain and out there.
[00:02:34]  I'm a gun enthusiast.
[00:02:36]  So I get left alone, but...
[00:02:39]  I'm not really left alone.
[00:02:41]  I do get threatened now and again, but...
[00:02:44]  I'll look around and look at what happened to M.D. and Ph.D. Professor Tim Noakes, who tweeted one tweet, and this was in South Africa.
[00:02:58]  They put him to a trial that cost the taxpayers millions of dollars.
[00:03:03]  He went hands down.
[00:03:04]  He tweeted to a mother who had taken her kid off of breast milk, wanted to know if it was okay.
[00:03:13]  What you should feed him.
[00:03:14]  And he said, you should feed that kid meat and vegetables.
[00:03:17]  And this was seen as a threat, because he had mentioned meat.
[00:03:22]  I know this sounds bizarre, and you might go, Vinnie, you're making this up, but Alan will be the first to tell you that this is absolutely true.
[00:03:30]  He won the first trial, hands down, after they spent millions.
[00:03:35]  And what did they do in South Africa?
[00:03:37]  They went after him a second time.
[00:03:39]  The same sort of thing happened to Dr. Gary Fetke over in Tasmania.
[00:03:46]  So if you think this is just the United States, it's not.
[00:03:49]  No, no, it's not.
[00:03:50]  It's anywhere they speak English.
[00:03:52]  Yeah.
[00:03:53]  So in Tasmania, this guy, he is a doctor who was chopping people's limbs off because they were getting type 2 diabetes, and of course, you know.
[00:04:03]  When the legs start accessing everything else, you have to cut limbs off.
[00:04:07]  He figured out that if you take people off of sugar and give them more meat, that he wouldn't have to operate anymore.
[00:04:14]  And he was told to stop doing that, and he wouldn't stop telling people to eat meat and to cut sugars out.
[00:04:22]  And they took his medical license away.
[00:04:25]  Because he was in my movie, Fatta Documentary 1, they've restored his license since then.
[00:04:31]  We don't know if we had anything to do with it, but here's a more bizarre.
[00:04:35]  Dr. Kent Barry, right here in the good old United States, his building, his doctor's office, was burned to the ground.
[00:04:46]  The fire marshals could not find how the fire was started.
[00:04:50]  It was a very hot fire, and they burned his building to the ground.
[00:04:55]  He wrote a book called Things Your Doctor Doesn't Want You to Know.
[00:05:00]  He also advocates for meat and less sugar, less grains.
[00:05:05]  If that's not bizarre enough, about four weeks after that fire, his home burned to the ground again.
[00:05:12]  They could not find anything.
[00:05:14]  They couldn't find how it got started.
[00:05:17]  The whole thing just incinerated.
[00:05:19]  So if you think this is Vinny just being paranoid or goofy or anything else, I don't think so.
[00:05:27]  I just gave you...
[00:05:29]  Three wonderful examples of how this happens all the time.
[00:05:35]  I have zero horses in this race.
[00:05:41]  Zero.
[00:05:44]  But everything I read leads me to believe that meat is good for you.
[00:05:51]  I have no great love of it.
[00:05:54]  I don't dislike it.
[00:05:56]  I'm neutral.
[00:05:57]  But I do care about your health and had you folks listen to me from the beginning about carbs.
