 Okay, so I'm just outside of Channel 9 Studios, and I just finished my interview I'm gonna say that that was intense interview. I Hope that I came across well. Hello everyone. Welcome to another video It's been about a week since I've uploaded a video if you've clicked on this video just to see this Interview that I did I want you to just go down into the comments section. There's some links there You can go and watch it on my Facebook I'll leave the Google Drive link there. They haven't uploaded it to YouTube yet, which is a bit of a shame I cannot upload any Content to my channel that could be perceived as copyright Even if it's fair use at the moment because I've got a strike on my channel I want to tell you a little bit about this interview how it come about and What my thoughts on are on it if you if you want to go watch it first That's fine. Come back to this video, please and leave your comments about the interview I'd really like to hear your feedback This is the green room here Channel 9 green room is getting ready to go in so the today show is a really large Australian morning show and I want to tell you how This interview came about because I was in England for two months. I'm back at my home base now I've got a little office here in Indonesia, so I spent two months in England campaigning and I worked every single day. I Really put myself on the line there and I started to become mentally exhausted and I needed to Come back and retreat back here in Indonesia to recollect my thoughts. I've been you know burning the candle at both ends So I come back here I literally slept for three days straight when I woke up for my three-day rest I had been contacted by the today show and they said we We've seen a few articles about you veganism has been in the Australian media quite a bit and we want you on the show They said they could televise me live from Indonesia and I said well Maybe the dynamic would be better if I come there. So they were in Sydney. So they luckily it was really Close flights about five hours from here to Sydney and they flew me straight from here to Sydney So it's just worked out really You know almost too well I had about a week to prepare really was about four or five days to prepare for this interview and I decided to stay off social media for that time and I decided to really focus on this interview and What I was going to say how I was going to say it and I kind of had an idea about what they were going to run past me I mean, it's usually the same things. I really wanted this to be an effective dialogue So, yeah, I spent I spent a few days just Staying calm and you know Picturing how it would turn out and just going over how I would say things I personally feel like it was one of the better TV interviews that I've done. I Said some pretty heavy things. I said some pretty heavy things now They were looking for a retraction of my statements where I compared dairy farmers to Nazis. I didn't do that I actually Refused to retract my statements about dairy farmers being likened to Nazis I just I thought through the animals eyes. They they are they're not the good people. So Even though I don't think they're inherently bad people. I just I think I wanted to speak for the animals there and God, let's see how this one goes a very controversial interview, I think Because through the cow's eyes The Holocaust that they are experiencing, you know through the pigs eyes the Holocaust they're experiencing is no different to the Holocaust Any humans have experienced it's the only difference is species really So I decided not to retract any of those statements as you know radical as they may seem I decided instead to explain why This is a Holocaust. So please leave your feedback on the interview now The ladies interviewing me were quite gobsmacked. I was you know sitting about a meter away from them And at times they just looked quite stunned The the two ladies who interviewed me said wow, we've definitely given me a lot to think about so so after the interview She goes like one of the ladies actually said to me oh wow You really gave me something to think about there like you know, she looked really like they didn't really have an answer It's almost like this was their first You know run in with kind of a logical You know educated vegan activist and she said to me, you know, I'm trying to reduce Joey I'm trying to reduce and I said, you know like people in positions like yours. We need to just go vegan I mean, there's a lot of celebrities going vegan now Reducing is really it really isn't good enough to reduce reduce when we know like the impact on the environment and You know we're going completely against our values as compassionate humans to commit this abuse to animals Anyways, two people on set came up to me Like one was a lighting guy that that that that did the lighting So if you're watching how you going bro and he shook my hand he goes great work great work Thanks for speaking up another guy was a host of the following show After the morning show and his name was David and he's been vegan for three years and he said thanks so much for all your work You know, I speak about this all the time at on on set and you know at his workplace So it was just interesting to know that there was Support there and there's vegans everywhere wherever you go. So it's just really cool. Yeah, so Really really happy with this interview There's a lot of powerful things that I feel like they come across really well I think about a quarter of a million people watch that show every morning There might have been more because it was such a controversial topic and then they've got uh, they're online Following as well Which will all have seen This message a very strong animal rights message, you know, not skimping on the truth not holding out on any transparency and really looking for logical consistency from the public and just You know pleading my case for the animals And I'm just a genuine honest person and you know, if you meet me in real life You'll see that I'm just as passionate in real life about this as I am on screen And I think really we all need to step up or not a notch and you know, just start saying it how it is Don't be afraid of the backlash. There's always going to be backlash when you're speaking true Just say it how it is the animals need us now. This is very very urgent So I'm looking forward to more media to come in Australia. It seems like they're catching up with the whole media thing uk has been bringing Veganism out into the forefront. They've really ran it through the ringer. Haven't they? So Australia is going to do the same I feel as well I really think this is going to be perpetuated by the mainstream media even more so in Australia as the time goes by I want to talk about the the strike that I've got on my channel too I don't want to really say too much about it until it's over But there was a strike on my channel and I'm just trying to get that resolved now I used some footage. It was fair use. That's why I cannot do a response video to my interview I can't really even put any clips of the interview in I could just leave the links down below for you to go check it out for yourselves And tell me what you think and please share it, you know, please share I really do think this is one for the non-vegans to see as well Thank you so much for all your support It was a much needed break for me like that week off and I just used it to sort of reflect and You know educate myself on Certain things I watched a bit of Gary Rofsky for inspiration. I I also just Made sure I was I was sharp for this Interview I made sure I was I was looking presentable And had a clear well-slept You know just feeling rational and just feeling emotionally stable before I got there on to on to tv And I think that's what I'll do more of in the future too if I have any more media I think I'll really, you know focus myself. I mean, we're not perfect as advocates I mean, I'm not perfect a perfect advocate I'll just try my best and it's never going to be 100 perfect. You're always going to reflecting Oh, I could have said this I could have said that As long as we are saying something and as long as we speak from our heart You know, you're going to get better as you progress Just don't listen to the criticism and the backlash just speak from your heart for the animals Like if it was you in the animals position and that's one of the best Things that I took from Gary Rofsky was like always speak for the animals Like you would want to be spoken for if it was you and their position I'm just preparing for this interview I'm watching Dominion And it's absolutely horrific. It's making me so angry I'm just hoping that I can channel that anger in a productive way And speak for the animals Like I'd want to be spoken for because this is just horrible. It never gets easier watching this stuff So anyway, that's where I'm at. I'm back at home base now in Indonesia I'll be I've got a few big things coming up too to do with tv again And I'm going to take every tv media opportunity I can get Uh, it's really that's where you know when it comes to tv You're reaching a non-vegan audience If there's any non-vegans watching this right now, like look you can look into anything I say And if you want to try to like, you know, disprove anything, that's fine You I think I I just want you to Think about these things. I want you to look into them yourself If you don't think that pigs a gas chamber, check it out. Check out Dominion and and you know, you could actually go to farms yourself I mean a lot of people, you know, go to farms themselves have a look around have a smell See what it smells like there's some dead bodies in bins outside You know, go to the gas chambers hear the pigs screaming for their lives. This isn't vegan propaganda This is all open for you to find out for yourself the information is there. What happens in the dairy industry There's a standard practice when talking about just look inside your heart and say oh like am I acting consistently with my own values Do I have a certain code of ethics towards animals that I'm breaching every time I eat them? So Anyways guys, thank you so much for your support Check out the videos leave them linked below and I'll see you on the next video. Peace So two people actually come up and said thanks for all the work that you do. So it was really really cool All in all, I think it will be A very controversial interview that might be received positively by a lot of people But also there's going to be a lot of opposition
