00:02:17.840
jim caviezel later people so tim ballard the film is about tim ballard it's about his life story uh

00:02:33.720
take this with the momentum i mean this is you know tim ballard's dedicated his life to this
00:02:37.940
this is a movement it's one of the first things president trump did in his uh in his presidency
00:02:43.080
was signing the executive order at the border people want to know what happens next we obviously
00:02:48.320
got to drive the film we want the film to be i want the film to be the number one film of the year
00:02:52.540
at the box office that means people will see it the number one film internationally i mean again right
00:02:57.340
now anything can happen i mean we're in america right sky's the limit we're dreaming big and we are
00:03:03.840
dreaming really big right now so anything can happen it's up to you the people this is the people's
00:03:09.460
movie people are showing up more we got more theaters today so something's we have more theaters
00:03:17.160
because the film is sold out the other thing was even when i saw it a couple of years ago
00:03:21.480
you have a minor classic just the film called the film is is a great thriller right i mean that's where
00:03:29.780
the director the writer you as the producer it all came together obviously it's got major talent like
00:03:35.060
caviezel on the acting side but the photography the music the tension all of it so the film works but
00:03:41.400
there's now playing every theater we're hearing about is sold out standing ovation at the end people
00:03:46.560
praying at the end but every every every theater is sold out sro steve we went through the numbers in
00:03:52.620
the two o'clock hour where this is this thing is going on the dailies it's it's neck and neck or
00:03:58.720
beating indiana jones sony pictures they got the horror movie out the insidious franchise it's it's
00:04:04.360
beating that domestically but then and we didn't have a chance to talk about this but steve it's
00:04:09.980
only open domestic so far this movie yes so the next step at least in terms of the movie the movement
00:04:16.240
is a different piece but for the movie itself keep in mind this is going to now a lot something what i
00:04:21.880
mean at least 70 of the movies are in spanish as it is um so for the spanish-speaking world once this
00:04:28.420
thing hits there with the subtitles or to walk us through how it's going to be how it's going to be
00:04:33.960
rolled out through latin america through south america europe it's it's i mean this is unbelievable like
00:04:39.860
three four days ago uh neil from angel studios tells me a lot we got like 700 emails from all over
00:04:47.380
the world from studios fighting for this film so this film is going to be global now i was thinking
00:04:53.580
back in the days you know when we were in budapest right brother like uh what in may two months ago
00:04:57.800
we're in budapest and i remember wait wait steve you got to hear that story you're not gonna believe
00:05:01.500
it he comes to me in budapest we're out there c-pack budapest and we go to we go to mass at saint
00:05:06.660
stevens and and it's it's there's nobody around because it's like a friday mass it's like a daily
00:05:11.880
mass but we're all traveling me tanya tay and the kids my mother and abuardo come just the five of us
00:05:17.760
that's it in saint stevens and he said hey i want to pray for this movie right there saint stevens
00:05:23.780
budapest hungary we're going to pay for the movie and he says jack can i send you the trailer would
00:05:30.240
you post it because i want to get some publicity for the film and i said yeah sure no what no problem
00:05:36.240
steve i watched this trailer and i said i'm going to post this every single day and i haven't stopped
00:05:42.740
posting it and i haven't stopped talking about it and it's been two months and i i said before
00:05:47.520
thank you i knew i knew it was an important film i knew it was a special film and i knew that we
00:05:57.640
were praying for that film but i didn't know god was going to come in the way he did i didn't know
00:06:02.380
that but he did unbelievable unbelievable um so mexico august 31st all latin america the rest of
00:06:11.040
latin america august 31st mexico being the production side of of really this uh this epidemic
00:06:17.500
yes with the united states being the demand side it makes sense that through a bilateral effort
00:06:22.920
we can end this if the wheel is there that's what i said before when two mexican filmmakers this is
00:06:30.800
a very good example i think this is for me the most important message that i can tell you right now
00:06:37.180
when two mexican filmmakers alejandro monteverde the writer and the director of the film
00:06:43.500
and the producer myself eduardo berastegui meets with two american heroes true heroes gene
00:06:50.440
cabizzo and tim ballard when they meet shake hands and work together what's the fruit what's the
00:06:56.160
result of that sound of freedom it's a good thing so what happened with the bad people of mexico
00:07:02.860
meets with the bad people of united states what happened what's the result what's the fruit
00:07:07.940
child trafficking child trafficking drugs illegal guns bad stuff cancer that destroy both countries
00:07:17.420
so we need to continue to be a relationship between the good people of mexico the good people of latin
00:07:25.760
america and the good people of the united states then we're unstoppable brother then china you have
00:07:31.340
no chance china has no chance but if we fall asleep and we don't recognize the good in all latin america
00:07:39.680
and bring together the good if we wouldn't do that then something bad can happen and it's happening
00:07:47.120
but now the good things are coming together and sound of freedom it's growing the institutions of
00:07:52.860
hollywood were shocked by the success of this film i mean they're shocked because this is grassroots
00:07:56.940
angel studios has had virtually no marketing money remember indiana jones has 300 million production
00:08:03.420
costs and 300 million dollars of marketing money to pay for the tv ads and the and the people going
00:08:08.660
around talking about it and the influencers this is a bootstrap effort by angel studios yet it's you
00:08:15.200
know close to being the number one film in the country and every day it is number one it's shocked
00:08:19.780
institutions one of the reasons i think institutions that are political are getting shocked is that they're
00:08:25.380
seeing people or this film is resonating with voters and people on a mass scale of course and that's
00:08:31.140
what's going to have to change because this could not occur at this level the numbers you guys are
00:08:36.600
talking about as far as child trafficking for sex could not occur unless somehow there's some
00:08:42.600
institutional either support directly or people looking the other way yes but i want to i want to just
00:08:49.020
say one important thing because i want to be very grateful to thousands of people when you said that
00:08:55.060
we didn't have budget for pna we didn't have budget for pna so we raised five million dollars
00:09:02.020
in crown crown crown funding yes so thousands of people put in ten dollars hundred dollars fifty
00:09:09.300
dollars yes that's why i always say this is the people's movie yes we went to the people not to
00:09:13.380
this not to the establishment in hollywood not to the big banks and central banks no no no to the
00:09:17.840
people little and they're investors not they they didn't give us donations yeah they invest
00:09:22.500
their partners with us so we have and that's spectacular thousands of thousands of thousands
00:09:26.780
of partners that are part of this movie so that's why who's going to stop this and each investor
00:09:33.060
brought 10 20 people to see the movie that's why it's just growing that five million that was
00:09:37.680
against 300 for indiania and for mission impossible this is look this is that they talk about disrupt you
00:09:44.800
know they talk about disruptors all the time in the tech industry in the tech world silicon valley
00:09:48.800
as all i just came in disrupted uber disrupted taxis right netflix disrupted etc all all of it
00:09:54.560
right this is actual disruption this is actual see disintermediation it's disintermediation of the
00:10:01.960
fact that not only do you have a a movie coming in without studio backing that after july 4th so
00:10:09.680
starting july 5th that instead of you talk about the marketing campaign and the marketing that was done
00:10:15.040
by word of mouth by grassroots you didn't just have a marketing campaign you had an anti-marketing
00:10:20.020
campaign that began on july 5th when bob eiger sitting up there at disney got on the phone to all
00:10:26.520
of the networks got on the phone the washington post the guardian and all the rest of them and said you
00:10:31.280
need to kill this film yes you need to shut this thing down but here's what happened when he did that
00:10:36.040
it was like it was only i think it was only 14 million right it was only 14 million first now made
00:10:40.560
10 times as much of that and we're sitting here it's only been two weeks two weeks it's overwhelmed
00:10:48.280
you know uh i'm talking to my mother every day because my mother is in tamaulipas northern mexico
00:10:55.100
three hours below the border and i say mom um you know she doesn't have security and i have
00:11:03.080
three sisters there four four brave women and i say um they were a little nervous in the beginning
00:11:11.520
because you know we're touching nerves interest we're fighting against a 150 billion dollar industry
00:11:18.480
they don't like us you remember when i told you when team butter told me we have a lot of friends but
00:11:23.240
we have a lot of enemies too those enemies will be yours eduardo are you okay with it let's do it
00:11:29.500
because human trafficking has bigger profit margins than trafficking is very dangerous and you know
00:11:35.000
what man when i've been receiving threats in social media i ignore them i have my team you know
00:11:41.660
deleting all that stuff my mother read some of those stuff and my mother it's like team butter's wife
00:11:49.080
don't worry about us we will die one day we're willing to sacrifice everything for the children
00:11:57.380
man when your mother tells you talks to you like that
00:12:01.440
she gave me so much strength because a lot of people are telling me brother you got to be careful
00:12:06.920
this is too dangerous you need to have security i don't you know i don't have security i mean
00:12:10.540
i have one person who helps me with the driving in mexico god is protecting me he knows
00:12:16.020
he knows what's going on you're not afraid of a cartel hit i'm not afraid man i'm afraid to offend
00:12:21.440
god only um and my prayer every day is god when you knock at my door my only my only petition to
00:12:28.780
use i want you to find me working for you and i'm trying my best to work for god and what's better
00:12:34.360
than waking up in the morning every day and use your talents that god gave you to protect children
00:12:38.440
children the children of the world god's children are not for sale how much is the cartel's influence
00:12:44.440
with either the police the security forces or the government to allow the the production side
00:12:51.040
of this the supply side to continue unabated i i don't know the uh you know exactly what's going
00:12:57.880
on in in at a very top top level i as i mentioned to you the other day i think the cartels are just
00:13:03.080
employees you know these guys are not in charge i think the there is a pedophile in the pedophile
00:13:08.140
industry disney i think is part of that pedophile industry i think it's a global industry
00:13:13.860
but and the cartels are employees that they work they're criminals who work for these people
00:13:17.980
and and that's why they're control they have this perfect distribution system in drugs and in child
00:13:23.400

President Trump's a very exclusive club out here in rural New Jersey,
00:17:46.200
one of the greatest golf courses in the country.
00:17:49.860
We're going to have a special screening for Sound of Freedom.
00:17:52.940
The really monster hit came out of nowhere in the film business today.
00:17:59.220
We're going to have one of the marketing guys on later in the show
00:18:02.460
Honored to be joined now by really the life story of Tim Ballard.
00:18:05.900
Tim Ballard, all the efforts, everything you've done with your life's work,
00:18:19.120
so I hope that it doesn't curse you in your show.
00:18:26.340
We tried to get her to play herself, but she wouldn't do it.
00:18:32.340
Talk to us about the film, and particularly both you guys seeing people portray you
00:18:40.960
on a story that really is central to your life.
00:18:46.800
Well, I mean, it's so weird, surreal almost to watch someone play.
00:18:52.060
Because, you know, they filmed many of the scenes on location.
00:18:55.800
Like, for example, when the little boys rescued out of the van,
00:18:58.600
they filmed at the very port of entry in Clexaco, California, where that happened.
00:19:03.180
They filmed the island rescue scene just about a mile away from the actual island
00:19:11.680
and then, you know, you're seeing people play you or even playing your wife,
00:19:17.400
And I think it's, I mean, I'll let Catherine weigh in because she didn't want to see,
00:19:22.920
I mean, there was like five or six opportunities to watch when it was done,
00:19:27.760
I finally convinced her that she needed to sit down because an Academy Award-winning actress
00:19:33.480
Aren't you a little curious as to what is in that movie?
00:19:36.180
And I finally got her after, like, the fifth invitation,
00:19:43.080
What, you just, you knew the story, or you didn't want to relive it,
00:19:52.580
It's just very, it's very surreal watching something that was very intense for Tim and I
00:19:58.320
for about 10 years of all these cases and all this, it's a lot longer in real life,
00:20:05.640
six months each case about, and watching that unfold on the screen
00:20:14.160
and then watching someone else try to portray how I felt, that was just, yeah.
00:20:21.000
Something cool, I was so nervous, I was sweating, like, just wondering,
00:20:25.420
And then we left the theater, and we drove in silence.
00:20:29.400
We went to the Chili's nearby, and still silence.
00:20:36.240
And we get there, we get to this restaurant, and it was really sweet.
00:20:39.580
The only thing she said, well, she started crying, which she, you know, that's kind of unusual.
00:20:46.780
And she just reaches over and grabs my hand, and she says, I am so sorry.
00:20:50.220
And this is not about me, the kids' pain, the kids who go through this.
00:20:55.580
So I've never even thought about this, but she thought about me in that moment.
00:20:58.720
And she just said, I am so sorry that you have all these memories in your head.
00:21:05.380
And that was, like, the only comment she made, and we haven't talked much about it since then.
00:21:10.080
Well, I wanted to ask you a question, if I may.
00:21:12.120
And don't worry, Walt, we'll take it easy on you, since this is your first interview.
00:21:15.420
But I watched the film, and I've watched a lot of your interviews.
00:21:18.420
And I know you talk about when you were deciding whether or not to leave the government,
00:21:22.260
to leave contracting, and, you know, basically go out on your own.
00:21:26.260
And I remember you said you called her, at least in the film, saying, you know,
00:21:31.800
You had so many, you know, beautiful children at home that going out on your own would have
00:21:35.480
been a very big, risky move and decision to make.
00:21:39.180
But it really was your phone call when, you know, you told him, you have to do this,
00:21:46.040
And that was what gave you the strength to do it.
00:21:49.220
And I know that was probably a very personal, intimate phone call between you guys.
00:21:54.420
So I'm just curious, you know, what made you, what really took over you to say that?
00:21:59.620
And, you know, your relationship, it seems like you give him the strength to be the superhero
00:22:05.920
Before she answers, I want to say the part she probably won't want to say about me,
00:22:09.440
because the film didn't want to show my cowardice, because it would have been too hard to probably
00:22:13.980
rehabilitate my character in time to finish in two hours.
00:22:17.560
Because I was like, I could finish the case if I quit.
00:22:22.700
And her line was supposed to be, are you kidding me?
00:22:28.120
But she didn't read the line that I wanted her to read.
00:22:30.220
And so my, my, my, my half-baked, you know, insincere pitch of actually doing this didn't
00:22:37.680
work because she turned around and said, you, you have, we have to do this.
00:22:42.740
And she said that knowing that that could have made her a widow.
00:22:46.040
I mean, we're going now and without top cover, we're doing super dangerous things.
00:22:52.180
Like, like, I think we had a couple thousand in the bank and six kids.
00:23:02.100
And I'll let her tell you what, why she insisted I not.
00:23:10.640
And I knew that he was dealing with some fear, but, but he wanted, this was, his desire
00:23:19.500
And, and sometimes we just need a little support around us to help us make those hard
00:23:27.940
What is it like, uh, in a relationship where you're living with really the children or
00:23:33.440
you're living with, uh, what he's doing every day and hearing it and know the danger to know
00:23:38.020
that until this film came out, you know, 80% of the country, 70% of the country has no
00:23:48.200
How does that, how did you guys live and have a relationship understanding that you're living
00:23:53.960
kind of this daily, you know, nightmare with what's happening to these children, the torture,
00:23:58.760
the depravity, and the rest of the country is going about their business and has no earthy
00:24:04.380
Well, I don't know how you would answer that, but for me, I've just tried to stay focused
00:24:08.200
on it doesn't matter the noise around everything.
00:24:12.240
We're focused on the children and, and it matters to the children that it's happening
00:24:18.200
And we can get really bogged down by a lot of noise and who's for us and who's against
00:24:25.340
But at the end of the day, we just need to get to work and help the children.
00:24:31.300
I'll say that it's, it's a, it's a burden lifted that people now know because in the
00:24:37.600
government I suffered from people not even believing me.
00:24:40.640
I only had three friends, you know, at the time I know I knew who I was and, and I would
00:24:44.780
try to tell my, like, you won't believe what I just saw.
00:24:46.640
And they're like, no, I don't even want to see it, hear about it.
00:24:49.060
And then I'm thinking, how can we solve this if no one knows about it?
00:24:51.760
And then to see that now millions and millions of people have and will now know, there's
00:24:57.920
almost a burden lifted because most of them are good people.
00:25:03.100
There's these crazies out there that don't want you to know this and we'll have to know
00:25:14.240
This thing is obviously taking on a momentum of its own.
00:25:21.260
Theater owners who are not supportive of the topic, but are looking to make money are giving
00:25:28.460
What would you guys like to see come out of this?
00:25:30.940
What would be the next step or what would you like to see happen here?
00:25:40.160
I want to see more help to, to those that have been in this situation.
00:25:44.400
I want to see more preventative measures for the children, orphans and, and vulnerable
00:25:51.100
children and, and a wake up call to, to all of us that think it doesn't apply to us.
00:26:01.640
These, this is being driven by, by people and, and we need to wake up and stop it.
00:26:11.200
Um, like Alejandro Monteverde said to me once, he's like, I want this movie to be something
00:26:19.480
And that is happening because anyone who watched this film knows you wake up the next morning
00:26:24.960
You wake up the morning after that, it's still the first thing you think of.
00:26:31.960
And, and, and again, echoing what Catherine said, Catherine was the founder of something
00:26:36.540
called the Children Need Families, which is a, she, she saw, we, we adopted two children
00:26:42.360
Well, we started, we rescued them from, from traffickers in Haiti in 2014.
00:26:46.280
There's a whole documentary on it called Operation Two Saint on Amazon Prime.
00:26:53.180
And so we brought them home and we got to see that we knew the trajectory of their lives
00:26:56.680
would have been being trafficked, murdered or something horrible.
00:26:59.000
And now you see these two beautiful children, happy and, and, and enjoying life.
00:27:04.720
So she started this foundation where we go into high trafficking areas and get these kids
00:27:09.320
So I know that's on her heart and we want, we want more of those.
00:27:12.880
You actually go into high trafficking areas, save the children.
00:27:18.300
No, we just assist with international adoption.
00:27:20.960
We just are promoting international adoption and trying to solve some problems in the process
00:27:28.360
But mostly the focus is if there's an orphan, they need a home.
00:27:37.100
If you go to OURrescue.org and it's in the project in, um, on that website, it's called
00:27:45.840
And Tim, we're going to have you back in the, uh, in the next hour because we're going to
00:27:48.880
talk about some of the future plans you've got.
00:28:02.000
We'll be back with the special edition of War Room on this very special night when Sound
00:28:06.380
of Freedom is going to screen for the president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, and
00:28:11.160
a select audience of club members and also certain people associated with this movement.
00:28:17.000
Are you tired of progressive corporations and exhausted trying to keep up with all the
00:28:31.060
virtue signaling when you're simply trying to buy products?
00:28:35.020
Progressive corporate America continues to push messaging that further alienates conservative
00:28:41.920
Americans, all while eroding the future of the American dream.
00:28:49.120
Companies like Starbucks, strong-arming their customers to support abortion.
00:28:53.820
Financial services like PayPal, canceling customers for their political views.
00:28:58.360
Makeup companies like Maybelline, making a mockery of women by supporting transgender
00:29:03.320
And beer companies like Bud Light, forcing gender ideology on you when all you want is to
00:29:11.400
Thankfully, we don't have to fund these companies any longer.
00:29:14.840
With our hard-earned dollars, with Public Square, we now have a solution.
00:29:21.560
Join the movement of millions of patriotic Americans who love truth, our country, and our constitution

Public Square also offers discounts to many high-quality businesses on the platform so that

00:30:18.100

00:30:35.600
We're here at Bedminster for the special screening of Sound of Freedom.
00:30:40.120
President Trump is screening it tonight for members of this very exclusive club here in
00:30:45.800
rural New Jersey, also members of this movement, and other figures like Carrie Lake, who is going
00:30:53.700
We have Matt Faraci, and you're a senior advisor to the fund that Tim Ballard, we're going to
00:31:02.220
Tim, we talk about this film is driving a movement.
00:31:07.240
But you've been very close to this film from day one and helping kind of guide this.
00:31:13.320
So, just quickly, what the Spear Fund is, is Tim has realized that because of the increased
00:31:18.540
notoriety and the fact that we have a movie that's literally taking over the world, we
00:31:29.540
So, just for the record, Steve was way ahead of me on this.
00:31:34.240
I saw it years ago when it was in the final edition, but saw it again, and you had the
00:31:39.600
Harmon Brothers who are, I guess, Harmon Brothers and Sisters at Angel Studios are so bold, and
00:31:45.740
they were going to put it out over 4th of July against Indiana Jones.
00:31:51.680
I said, this is a kamikaze run, and they do have, by the way, $5 million, crowdsourced
00:32:01.340
But when you saw the film, and particularly the way the final cut and everything you've
00:32:04.840
done to enhance it, I sat there and I told Matt, Matt says, I think this thing grew
00:32:09.900
I said, this film is going to do $200, $250 million domestic box office.
00:32:15.600
Yeah, and my response was like, okay, Steve, that's pretty optimistic, you know?
00:32:20.020
And then the longer this goes, I mean, Angel's projecting, by the way, that they're going
00:32:39.540
President Trump committed to this last week, and then all of a sudden he hit $100 million.
00:32:45.260
And so what Tim realized is that the movie has created a movement, a global movement.
00:32:51.720
And so he started something called the Spear Fund, in which every, you know, he's creating
00:33:01.500
So it could be that somebody needs aftercare, and we're going to support an aftercare group.
00:33:05.260
Or somebody has a specialty in rescuing kids, let's say, in Chile.
00:33:09.640
But whatever that might be, supporting all the pieces and parts to take down the child
00:33:15.640
trafficking cartels and go after them in a nimble, quick, and effective way.
00:33:25.600
Jim Caviezel was supposed to be box office poison, right?
00:33:30.720
I mean, obviously, with a certain element, it'd be huge.
00:33:33.120
But they, you know, he did a hit TV show, but they tried to put him in films that he would
00:33:47.700
By the way, I can announce, I think we're going to have Ginger Gates on the, she did a,
00:33:54.380
She told me to tell you that she wants you to wear pink for your interview with her tomorrow.
00:33:59.720
As long as I can borrow that jacket or spork over her husband.
00:34:06.940
The, I think $650 million domestically was the Passion.
00:34:10.780
I think it, I think that's the, I think that was the global box box.
00:34:16.740
Darn, I wish I'd done more Googling before this show.
00:34:21.700
When I looked on my iPhone, it was $610 million globally was the record.
00:34:26.600
Well, globally, you have 160, 160 countries have already approached Angel.
00:34:31.080
So the question is, can Caviezel beat Caviezel?
00:34:38.340
This picture is not going to stop right now because you're having sold out audiences.
00:34:43.600
People are witnessing to this film in the theater.
00:34:51.440
So if, because you're annoyingly right, Steve, what it, call it right now.
00:35:01.320
Just for the record, that's the number one highest grossing independent film of all time.
00:35:13.580
Particularly if you count the international box office.
00:35:20.880
I think, I think the people that made the Passion, I'll tell you one thing.
00:35:24.380
Mel Gibson and Jim Caviezel would want every person in the country to see this film right now.
00:35:29.460
Because this is the beginning of a movement and very powerful.
00:35:32.340
And just so you know, Jim said to me, I don't know, two months, about a month ago, we were walking somewhere and Jim said, I feel it.
00:35:40.660
He said, I feel like this is, he said, I haven't felt anything like this since the Passion.
00:35:48.060
Well, tonight's going to be very big about getting that second breath when President Trump is going to be.
00:35:53.540
There are going to be a number of speakers here, Caviezel's here, of course, Eduardo, Tim Ballard, Tim Ballard's wife.
00:35:59.280
Catherine, I want to thank you for all the efforts you've done on this.
00:36:02.780
The Angel Studios, I mean, they've only been involved in this thing three or four months, right?
00:36:10.060
Only God, only God could take, I feel like it's like the fleece that Gideon put out, you know, before he fought the battle.
00:36:20.240
You know, you can do what you can do, but only God can step in and blow it up to this level.
00:36:23.980
There's no, there's no other explanation except the divine.
00:36:29.420
And it was divine providence to put Matthew, to put Andrew Breitbart in your life.
00:36:41.580
I'm sure you know the story of John Quincy Adams and how he was an abolitionist and how he thought he had failed.
00:36:48.380
And somebody asked him, you know, he had fought slavery his whole life.
00:36:51.460
And somebody asked him before he died, do you feel like you failed?
00:36:55.300
And he said, the duty is ours, the results are his.
00:36:57.860
And I feel like if Andrew, Andrew does know that beyond him, that this continued.
00:37:05.200
Can we get, can we do a shift out in the middle?
00:37:21.180
Whoever, if I win, I get a pastrami on rye, pickles, chips, and a Dr. Brown's Diet Cherry
00:37:41.120
We just, we were just, we were just with your book tour yesterday at the Villages.
00:37:51.100
Talk to us about that because your race for governor, which still hasn't been decided,
00:37:57.340
Close the border, take on the cartel, shut them down, stop trafficking.
00:38:01.300
I get a lump in my throat when I think about what's happening at our border.
00:38:05.440
I've got, I have a daughter almost Natalie's age, okay?
00:38:08.760
And when you think about what we're allowing as a country to happen at our border, it's
00:38:14.640
unacceptable, it's appalling, and it's depraved.
00:38:19.220
We are, literally, children are being trafficked.
00:38:22.660
And they're not just being trafficked in here for citizenship.
00:38:25.980
They're not being trafficked in with their families.
00:38:36.520
And I feel this lump in my throat right now thinking about what's happening as we speak
00:38:42.080
here today, these children who are trapped in this lifestyle, this existence.
00:38:46.580
It's not a lifestyle, it's an existence that they didn't choose and that the responsible
00:38:56.380
And I'm going to say all of us are the responsible adults, that we're allowing this to happen at
00:39:02.240
And this is why that was the number one policy.
00:39:10.260
We don't need the federal government to secure our border because the Constitution allows
00:39:19.440
Well, you were going to call that from the moment you took your hand off the Bible as
00:39:23.260
You were going to call out the Biden administration, declare an emergency, and take all types of
00:39:27.640
action that you as governor could take, correct?
00:39:29.380
And show these other governors what our abilities are and what our responsibilities are to our
00:39:35.180
citizens and really show them how we can secure our border without the federal government.
00:39:39.560
Now, obviously, it'd be great if the federal government was doing their job, but we can't
00:39:43.800
We have an illegitimate president sitting in the White House because we had a rigged 2020
00:39:49.220
We did have a great president, President Trump, who was doing everything he could to secure
00:39:55.960
You know, I really get a little bit resentful to some of these politicians who say, oh, he
00:40:06.800
And I'll tell you what, when we get President Trump back in office, I predict that wall will
00:40:11.660
His executive order on the first couple of days of the administration was about certain
00:40:16.220
The wall was going to take funding, but he signed the executive order against child trafficking
00:40:22.620
And it was really the integral part of the separation of the families and checking this
00:40:27.960
and saying there was some sort of scam being run.
00:40:33.900
They criticized him because when people were coming across the border with children saying,
00:40:39.300
oh, yeah, this is my nephew, this is my son, we weren't just trusting that.
00:40:50.320
And Trump wasn't just trusting these people coming across.
00:40:55.400
I want to match the DNA and find out if you really are a family member.
00:40:58.740
And the media, they've got blood on their hands because they criticized President Trump
00:41:04.540
And now we have, what is it, 80 or 90 million children who've come across under Joe Biden.
00:41:09.540
Probably a low estimate that are completely lost in the system.
00:41:17.980
Yeah, 85,000 they've admitted, whistleblowers admitted to.
00:41:20.580
But the GOP Senate just put out a four-minute fundraising video the other day.
00:41:25.780
After the film was a hit, they put a four-minute video out talking with knitted brow the tough
00:41:33.260
And at the end saying they have the Senate, which has never had Trump's back at all.
00:41:44.480
People in Arizona, though, some of the business interests, they push back big time.
00:41:49.400
When you talked about closing the border and taking on the cartels, you were embraced by
00:41:55.880
But the vested interest in the state did not say, Carrie, what a wonderful idea.
00:42:03.800
Well, there's so many avenues where there's money being made with that wide-open border.
00:42:11.340
It might be with the trafficking with children, the trafficking of women, the trafficking of
00:42:18.280
And so there's a lot of money being made on that border.
00:42:22.760
Because let's face it, if they wanted it shut down, it would be shut down right now.
00:42:28.900
There's no doubt for you, either as governor and or in the executive branch, that if you
00:42:35.040
wanted to shut down the border, you have the tools available to shut it down and stop this.
00:42:45.080
He came in and immediately started to secure that border.
00:42:47.520
I covered that border for 27 years as a journalist, and it was never more secure than under President
00:42:54.080
And he was doing it with one hand tied behind his back, taking constant incoming from the
00:42:59.900
I know that when he gets in again, he's going to be able to do this.
00:43:02.380
And we really need to go to war with these narco-terrorists.
00:43:06.480
They're working in conjunction with our arch enemy, the communist regime in China.
00:43:11.580
And they're pushing drugs to kill our young people.
00:43:15.280
The Secretary of State in Arizona is a cartel lawyer.
00:43:20.440
People have a real hard time wrapping their brain around, and it's hard to imagine.
00:43:24.520
But these fraudulent people sitting in our government, because when they stole our victory and rigged
00:43:29.320
our elections, they stole our state government.
00:43:35.720
They couldn't have any of the MAGA people in there.
00:43:37.840
Well, Chris Mays today leaked that she's about to indict all these people in Arizona on the
00:43:47.400
And then the Secretary of State now, who oversees our elections.
00:43:55.140
We've got a man named Adrian Fontes, who is truly a cartel lawyer, sitting in our Secretary
00:44:03.280
I think Caroline runs around, so she's going to join us here at the special War Room.
00:44:07.280
I want to thank Real America's Voice, Rob and Parker Sig, the entire team, Harry, for
00:44:12.520
And of course, the great staff here at Bedminster, and President Trump for allowing this, Jason
00:44:21.300
We'll be back with Sound of Freedom in a moment.
00:44:28.400
Every day, the parallel economy grows bigger and bigger.
00:44:31.460
It's powered by everyday Americans who are sick and tired of all the woke propaganda being
00:44:43.440
For years, they have been dumping millions into leftist causes, and we had to take it because
00:44:48.880
you need a cell phone and probably thought there was no alternative, but there is.

Special edition here at Bedminster, one of the finest clubs in the country, President
00:46:22.180
Trump, honoring everybody tonight with a special screening of Sound of Freedom, this movie
00:46:30.300
Carrie, they're trying to shut down everything associated with President Trump and everything
00:46:37.500
I've talked to so many people who've gone to see the film.
00:46:39.980
And I think some of it made it on the internet where they were saying they had the air conditioning
00:46:47.000
I've had more people tell me they saw this film and they had the lights up at the theater.
00:47:01.140
They don't want people knowing what's really going on.
00:47:03.760
Just as they're trying to cancel people online who are conservatives, just as they're trying
00:47:08.460
to arrest people, round people up, indict President Trump, the more they do that, the stronger
00:47:15.360
Because we recognize that the government is trying to shut us down.
00:47:20.320
Is what's happening on this movement happening, you see this in Michigan and in Arizona?
00:47:24.760
Because Arizona, here's the beauty, too, in Michigan.
00:47:27.200
The tell is none of those people gave them any information at all.
00:47:34.020
Is the same thing going to happen in Arizona, in Georgia, across the country?
00:47:56.080
Well, the judge didn't have the courage to do the right thing.
00:48:10.020
And if they think that a corrupt judge or a weakling judge is going to stop us from getting
00:48:23.680
We are going to add cases to prevent them from robbing us from victory in this next election.
00:48:31.980
And, you know, I think about young people like Natalie and your generation, because my
00:48:42.280
My daughter and my son are talking about The Sound of Freedom.
00:48:53.900
And they can try to throw things in front of it.
00:48:57.780
And I think it's going to be uncomfortable the next year and a half.
00:49:00.160
Just like President Trump, just like you in Arizona and now across the nation in this film,
00:49:06.000
you are saying that you think these all lead to movements?
00:49:12.200
And I had dinner with Donald Trump Jr. last night.
00:49:16.200
And he talked about how when he first met Tim Ballard, they sat down.
00:49:19.360
And Tim Ballard explained to President Trump what a problem this was.
00:49:24.020
And it really hit President Trump in the heart.
00:49:27.580
And that's when he said, we've got to shut down what's happening at the border.
00:49:32.200
You know, President Trump, as much as the media likes to portray him as just the most awful,
00:49:43.220
And he does not want our border wide open and allowing for the trafficking of children,
00:49:53.200
People don't realize he's got a very kind heart.
00:49:58.500
I just ran into him, by the way, here at Bedminster.
00:50:02.220
This is just a real bright spot in our country.
00:50:15.260
I mean, you would think the average person would be just, like, you know, stressed out,
00:50:19.620
biting their nails, and he's just, he's unflappable.
00:50:25.040
Also, if he wasn't running again and winning, none of this would have happened.
00:50:29.900
If he hadn't have come back from Mar-a-Lago and gotten into this race, they would have never gotten him.
00:50:35.560
One other thing I talked to him about, it was a brief conversation just a few minutes ago.
00:50:41.320
We did a little bit of campaigning for him in Iowa because I'm an Iowan at heart.
00:50:46.360
And I said, the people are so on board with you.
00:50:48.600
And I said, and frankly, Ron DeSantis has been a disaster.
00:50:56.400
It's really offensive to the people of Iowa that you would show up that way.
00:51:00.700
You know, President Trump shows up in Iowa, and he's got his suit on.
00:51:11.060
The fishing shirts, the baggy jeans, the high-heeled boots.
00:51:15.480
They try to go Yellowstone, but they don't realize that's not Iowa.
00:51:18.520
You don't have to show up in Iowa and act like an Iowan.
00:51:21.100
You have to show up and be authentic because Iowans can smell a phony from a mile away.
00:51:25.920
And they also know that President Trump has been there for him, or for them.
00:51:30.900
President Trump has been there for them for years.
00:51:34.340
And they also recognize that he supported Ron DeSantis, and he got stabbed in the back.
00:51:38.980
And I don't believe Iowans appreciate that kind of character.
00:51:41.740
I'm going to take out my number two personal, write a note down.
00:51:50.620
Caroline, your thoughts about the film, this movement, what's coming together.
00:52:04.680
And it kind of weighed on me and dawned on me that the two people that could really lead at least North America out of this are here and are going to be in the same room tonight.
00:52:11.640
I think that if we elect Donald J. Trump again as president, and we're hearing a lot of rumors that Eduardo could potentially run it for president,
00:52:22.020
I think that the people are going to call for it.
00:52:25.040
He's been praying about it very hard, and I think everyone at home should be praying on it as well.
00:52:29.000
Those two people who are here tonight, those two people could save Western civilization.
00:52:33.000
And so I think we should be so thankful and honored to be here and be included in something like this and really let that weigh on us.
00:52:37.920
Now we just need to find somebody to lead Canada out of the mess there in.
00:52:41.960
Do we have any patriotic great Canadians who can replace Trudeau?
00:52:52.060
Where are you going to speak in because they're packed and sold out?
00:53:01.420
Our case, we believe, and we're going to keep this thing alive.
00:53:05.740
We're finding out now they used unlawful software on the entire election.
00:53:12.940
This is the case when finally a judge has the pressure of the world on his shoulders, is going to crack the whole thing open.

I want to once again thank Rob, Parker, the entire team here at Real America Voice, the entire team at Bed Minister for making this happen.
00:53:57.360
It came about at the last second, and particularly President Trump for hosting this film.
00:54:01.860
And I agree with you, Caroline and Carrie, that this film could help change Western civilization.
00:54:11.220
Your doctor glances up from the chart and says, and I quote, hey, whatever you're doing, keep it up, end quote.
