Jack Posobiec and Tania Tay discuss the latest in the ongoing saga of the Biden family and their alleged involvement in election fraud and forgery. Also, country music star Jason Aldean is defending his controversial music video.
00:03:43.340Nearly every single one of them, a senior citizen, who have just been charged with election fraud, forgery, conspiracy to commit uttering, conspiracy to commit election forgery, five-year felonies, 14-year felonies,
00:04:02.680for the alleged crime of submitting alternate ballots, alternate electors, in 2020.
00:04:11.540This is a legal strategy that has been used by multiple campaigns in the past, who are actually used in the 1960 election.
00:07:27.160How did you view that movie, watching it as a mother, but then also just watching it as someone who's concerned with what's going on in our country and in our world?
00:07:40.040I believe this is the most important movie of 2023.
00:08:08.700And I think the emotion that I would like to speak the most of would be the hope.
00:08:15.440Because looking at this movie and sitting through it to the very end and seeing that there are people who can make a difference for the kids.
00:09:36.360It doesn't matter if they're on the left or on the right.
00:09:38.500I know every parent would want nothing else but to see his kids where he left them on sheep.
00:09:45.640There's been a few times where I can even just remember, you know, we were just down at the Turning Point event in Florida.
00:09:52.300And even, you know, even if the kids run around a corner, I know that you will be like, you have to go around that corner because you don't know what's around that corner.
00:10:00.640So you want to see where the kids are.
00:10:02.320So the idea that the kids could be gone.
00:10:04.900And then as it shows in the movie, that everything is gone.
00:10:11.460It's as if this fashion shoot had never happened.
00:10:15.880Then the next thing they show in the film, and I don't want to give away too much, but I think people at this point understand what the content is.
00:10:21.520Because they actually show – so on one level, they show – it's a two-level movie, right?
00:10:26.400So the A-plot is the plot of Tim Ballard's character played by Jim Caviezel.
00:10:32.180And Tim and Jim and Eduardo Verastegui will be here today as well as Curry Lake and a few other special guests that will be arriving as we go throughout the night.
00:10:42.900But the other side of the plot shows the kids as they're being trafficked and what happens to them along that trafficking pipeline where they're picked up by a recruiter and then they're sold and then they're sold again.
00:10:59.600And what was it like watching those scenes?
00:11:04.980But what was it like sitting there specifically with that little boy when they put him in the room and then an adult comes in and you know what happens next?
00:11:15.440The South of Freedom movie doesn't have any graphic scenes.
00:11:50.580You know, as an adult, it's your job to protect the weaker, the innocent and understanding the true reality that those little kids are being handed over as goods.
00:12:14.580They're shipped in terrible conditions.
00:12:17.300The stuff that they endure at that young age is just beyond heartbreaking.
00:12:26.840I remember in that scene you thought I was talking and you leaned over to me and you thought I was saying something to you.
00:12:42.340I had it in my pocket here and I was just – I've never seen a movie, you know, more – I've never seen a horror movie scarier than that.
00:12:54.300I've never seen a movie more – even when I was a kid and you'd go to a horror movie or go to a monster movie or something and you want to close your eyes because you know something's going to jump out at you.
00:13:05.180But I never saw something like this where even when they're not showing what happens, you want to run out of the room.
00:13:13.920You want to just – you want to lose your – you want to scream.
00:13:21.160And by the end of the film, you just – I just – and I'm just going to say it.
00:13:25.840At the end of the film, you get – and this is maybe – maybe it's the dad side of it.
00:13:29.940But you just want Jim Caviezel to run into that room where all those traffickers are and pull out the AK-47 and just start going full Rambo on the whole place because that's how mad you are when you see this thing.
00:13:43.580And you want to actually be able to go to the next level.
00:13:46.080And if there's anything, it's – there's some fight scenes and there's great action.
00:13:49.440But you – I mean you want him going just – you want them annihilated.
00:13:57.000So we do have a clip though because – so we've seen the film.
00:14:02.520We've gone through the emotions and it is an experience.
00:14:05.840But there's now a campaign to – usually people say when you have a movie come out, you have a marketing campaign to get people to see the movie.
00:14:13.020Well, in the case of Sound of Freedom, there's now a campaign to get people to not watch the movie.
00:15:15.380So, you know, something with this, though, the fact that there's been so many media out there talking about calling it a conspiracy theory, saying, oh, this doesn't happen in real life.
00:15:36.360Or do you think that they played it pretty true to what actually goes on?
00:15:41.900If anything, I could say that this movie is a lot of things, but it is apolitical.
00:15:48.940This movie is something that can unite us as Americans, as parents.
00:15:55.520It could unite the left and the right because what better of an agenda we can have as citizens than protect the God's children.
00:16:04.920It's almost like a fight of evil against the good.
00:16:10.600And how could you not take the side of the good in this case?
00:16:14.460Well, and here's the best part of it, because, you know, we've got and this is breaking news.
00:16:20.380This is not from, you know, this is from industry sources.
00:16:24.740OK, box office receipts, Sound of Freedom is currently expected to cross the one hundred million dollar mark in gross receipts in just two weeks since it's been out.
00:16:39.300Just two weeks, one hundred million dollars.
00:17:21.940So Insidious, the red door only has 61 million domestic.
00:17:26.200That's U.S. and Canada and Sound of Freedom, which has only been released domestically, has now already crossed 85 million on track to reach 100 million domestically.
00:17:38.620This is an absolute historic milestone for a movie like this that didn't have a Hollywood studio, didn't have the distribution behind it, the marketing push, everything else associated with a normal Hollywood release.
00:17:53.460This was word of mouth and it was the hand of God that brought this movie and has put it now at the 100 million dollar mark.
00:18:02.920Look, and we'll talk about this more in the next segment.
00:18:05.100But when we saw it in D.C. for the first time, I knew it was special and I knew it was important, but I didn't know it was going to be this big.
00:18:16.240Did you have any idea it would be this big?
00:18:18.360I was sure hoping for that, because I think that's the message that all of us need to hear.
00:18:48.460All right. We can't we can't reveal just yet exactly who's going to be joining us for the time being.
00:18:53.580But it's it's incredible to be here at this.
00:18:57.760Let me ask you this question as a mom, as someone who's seen the movie, as someone who you have.
00:19:04.080It's kind of it's kind of funny. I'm in this position or like I'm interviewing my own wife.
00:19:07.300Right. So but you have two little boys.
00:19:09.300Right. Who are also my two little boys, obviously.
00:19:11.140But from a perspective as this, as your perspective, you're also someone who's gone through that immigration process.
00:19:22.760You've lived in that world of how hard it is to go through immigration.
00:19:28.260You've also you also come from Eastern Europe and you've seen people.
00:19:35.600Potentially deal with maybe not child issues in terms of trafficking, but I'm sure there have been times that you've heard of people or have you.
00:19:43.500I guess I'll just ask you openly heard of any stories where people got into, you know, went out for an opportunity and it didn't turn out to be what they thought it was.
00:19:52.820If you know what I'm saying, yes, you hear those stories, left or right.
00:19:59.060And there's way too many stories that you'd like to share, you would like to, you know, announce one story is way too many.
00:20:09.500And unfortunately, the amount of those stories with with the open borders now specifically in the southern border of America are becoming more common.
00:20:19.140Growing up back in the Soviet Union, those stories are not as common because I felt like the borders were existing.
00:20:33.540We had some sort of protection, but of course, there were some and specifically young girls who would come go overseas to look for better opportunities in life and what they thought were better times.
00:20:48.540And so were there stories, I don't want you to give any names, but were there times that you heard of people who maybe ended up in a situation that's not what they thought it was going to be?
00:21:47.580I think we briefly met at the D.C. premiere but didn't really get a chance to talk.
00:21:51.560So Tanya, born in the Soviet Union, then it became territory of Belarus, immigrated to the United States.
00:21:58.520And I know you've been talking about specifically Ukraine a lot when it comes to trafficking because the film focuses obviously on Latin America, South America.
00:22:08.060But, you know, obviously with the war in Ukraine, we've seen an uptick in that part of the world.
00:22:13.920Yeah, just last year when the war broke out, my wife came to me late February and said, hey, you've got to go find these seven kids that we were processing for adoption out of our foundation.
00:22:24.020And I said, Catherine, there's Russian missiles dropping.
00:22:29.120Like, I don't think I can do anything about these seven kids.
00:22:31.940And a few hours later, Mel Gibson calls me and says the same thing.
00:22:35.900But he has, like, more kids, orphans, you know, he's worried about in Ukraine.
00:22:39.520So we ended up partnering with a group, with my good friends at Aerial Recovery, and ended up running extraction operations.
00:22:47.7806,000 women and children we relocated, a lot of orphans in there.
00:22:51.920But the scary thing was once we were there, you know, if human trafficking is $150 billion a year business, people often ask, well, how do you get that many children into that kind of a market?
00:23:02.920And the answer is it's what they call harvest time.
00:23:06.540Harvest time for traffickers is in the wake of a serious catastrophe like an earthquake or a hurricane or, in this case, a war.
00:23:14.240Because you have how many hundreds of Ukrainian children crying over the dead bodies of their family, no one to take care of them, and a nice van shows up with blankets and food.
00:24:16.380It ends in – we dismantle a child sex hotel in a little village in Ecuador called the Canoa, all being run by these Dutch pedophiles who we discovered when they reared their ugly heads around the Ukrainian war.
00:24:28.260So, it's so transnational, this whole thing.
00:24:30.380I mean, in four months between February and June, July, we went through six countries, three continents, took down an entire trafficking organization, and I mean, and that was just – and rescued hundreds, maybe thousands of preventative rescues.
00:24:44.500But it only happens if you can have a transnational solution, which is what we do.
00:24:50.180As a private organization, we can move rapidly, connecting government partners as needed, and that's the transnational – when I walked in, I heard you talking about this.
00:24:59.960You know, child trafficking or adult trafficking, any kind of trafficking knows no borders and boundaries.
00:25:07.000So, if we don't start working together, and the private-public model that we put forth is that solution.
00:25:12.640Well, I appreciate that because, you know, coming from my own background in the intelligence community, that you would see issues – no, I wasn't on the trafficking side, but, you know, definitely we looked at counterterrorism.
00:25:22.980I was at Guantanamo for a year working those operations with detainees.
00:25:27.200We were looking at different networks that, you know, those guys knew or those guys worked with, ISIS stuff, and then also focused on East Asia, particularly focused on some counterterror but also a little bit of the narcotics because in East Asia, that's kind of – it's the same network, right?
00:25:41.520You know, because they're – and you see this in the Middle East as well, that the narcotics goes to fuel the terrorism or back and forth.
00:25:47.520And so – and a lot of the time they're also just using – for traffickers, it's you have that ability to transport something from point A to point B, whether that's people, whether that's weapons, whether that's munitions, et cetera, et cetera.
00:26:10.980Interpol does good work, but we don't – I would love to see a world where – and I've – we didn't plan to talk about this.
00:26:19.340But, you know, I'd love to see a world where NATO and some of these other groups could actually be turned against these networks instead of getting involved in some of this crazy stuff that you do get involved with.
00:26:28.140You know, we're going to launch a war here.
00:26:48.440And I don't care, you know, and if it's like – I don't care if it's like – like, okay, the Ukraine government has some information, the Chinese government has information, the Russian government – whatever.
00:26:58.560So you'd think it would be something where you could actually find some of these groups and just say, all right, you know, we disagree on, you know, 80% of the things, but on this 20%, yeah, we're good.
00:27:08.240Yep, and the only way that happens, I think, is mass awareness, mass awareness.
00:27:13.700When the people are clamoring, the people are pissed, the people are screaming, why aren't we using resources this way?
00:27:18.440And so I feel like Sound of Freedom, based on the success we're having, I mean, we just crossed 95 million, I think, today, in just a few weeks, and we haven't even gone.
00:27:26.620We're running – so we just did the numbers right before you walked in.
00:28:09.220Well, and we've seen stories as well that the Biden DOJ – and I don't know if you can corroborate this, but we've seen stories, and we hear the whistleblowers coming out right now on some of the other stuff,
00:28:17.280but that they were actually moving agents away from child trafficking under the DOJ and under the FBI,
00:28:23.600and they were putting them on these political –
00:28:55.520And Sound of Freedom is the sharpest tool we've ever had in our hands to make the public, you know, be outraged, as they should be.
00:29:03.880Did you – and just asking from a video standpoint, I mean, I understand it's been about a decade of just on the film to get this from the original inception to where it is now.
00:29:14.020Did you ever expect it would be this big?
00:29:37.620So – but it's all in God's timing because, you know, when this film was supposed to come in 2020, well, we didn't – we weren't dealing with some of the problems with kids until 2023.
00:29:49.560I mean, right now it's like the apex of danger for children, the southern border, the sexualization of kids in our schools, you know, trying to normalize child sex by changing the word pedophile to minor attracted persons.
00:30:00.640There's a whole movement right now targeting children.
00:30:02.920It's a perfect storm and, you know, they say God's timing is always perfect and you hear that phrase and you say, okay, okay, you know, but I really look at something like this.
00:30:14.160I think if this film, as you say, hadn't come out now that it wouldn't have been this big because it hit at a time when people were looking for new content.
00:30:23.460They were also looking for a story to get behind.
00:30:25.420They were sick of the wokeness and sexualization of children that's being pushed into our movies, into our schools, everywhere, and at the same time, it's just a topic that it's – time has come.
00:30:36.460The time has come to stop being silent.
00:30:38.660We're going to go to a quick break, but we'll be back here from Trump Adminster with the great Tim Ballard and the lovely Tanya Tay.
00:30:46.660Buzzing in my ear about the boring people at your office.
00:30:49.940I'm trying to listen to the new human events with Jack Pozovic.
00:30:55.420All right, we are back here live from historic Trump National in Bedminster.
00:31:01.280You've got the shot right there, the delightful greens.
00:31:05.200You can see some of the work that's being done out there, but there's work that's being done inside as well because tonight we will have historic, a first presidential screening of Sound of Freedom.
00:31:16.900We're joined by Tim Ballard, the subject of the film.
00:31:21.080I wanted to play, though, for you, Tim, and I know you've addressed this a couple of times, but it just – it drives me nuts that we were saying before that most films have what they call a marketing campaign, right?
00:31:32.560But I feel like there's – for Sound of Freedom, it's the first time I've ever seen this, there's an anti-marketing campaign going on as well.
00:31:39.860But I'm wondering if it's actually having something, a little bit of a Streisand effect.
00:31:56.760And with something like Sound of Freedom, it specifically is looking at QAnon concepts of these child trafficking rings that are run by the high-level elites and only people like Tim Ballard and only people like Jim Caviezel and, by extension, only people like the ticket buyer can help bring these trafficking rings down.
00:32:14.360So there's a very participatory element.
00:32:57.240And like, then this thing, okay, then it posts here, but they were already working on it.
00:33:01.520And then it wasn't even big until like, oh, it doesn't, it doesn't even match at all.
00:33:05.400And you just need to watch the film, which that guy clearly has not, because there's nothing in it, even political QAnon-ish, conspiratorial, the high elites.
00:33:18.000And by the way, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, CNN, they all did stories on the actual operation in October of 2014 when we did this operation.
00:34:49.240And here we are sitting with the agent who actually was in the field rescuing those children, yet they claim that somehow it was not real to them.
00:34:58.560I was, you know, when you first walked in, I thought, is that Jim?
00:35:07.680At the end of the film, you see real footage from that operation and that real footage is part of a larger body of material that's called Triple Take.
00:35:46.940You have solutions to this problem that anyone would, wittingly or unwittingly, run interference for child traffickers to make some political point or push some agenda is embarrassing and, frankly, grotesque.
00:35:58.140Do you think, and this is something that I noticed that just in...
00:38:28.280And this film not only shines a light on all that's happening bad to children, but it's also a dividing line.
00:38:34.100Like if you are against this movie, I'm not calling you a pedophile, but you're certainly, again, I'll throw in maybe unwittingly or wittingly running interference for people who want to abuse children.
00:38:45.580It's like the line's even drawn clearer than ever before, good and bad over this issue.
00:38:50.660So there's so many benefits to knowing who's on which side and what the solutions are to end this.
00:38:56.720And you were saying before earlier, and I wanted to, but Tim wasn't here yet, when you said the main thing wasn't that, because I view this movie and I'm just focused on just what I want to do to these guys.
00:39:09.380But you said that you had a different mess, take away from it.
00:39:12.860I, at the end of the movie, I had a feeling of hope in me, seeing the guys like you, Tim, giving it all, you know, going into the craziest situations, not knowing what to expect there.
00:39:31.100But you had one goal and one child for you was worth it.
00:43:45.040But then 20 years later after we made that promise to God that we only want to work in projects that are designed to make this world a better place,
00:43:52.520never thought that a small distribution company, perhaps the smallest one in the country, Angel Studios,
00:43:58.500competing with the biggest company in the world, Disney, Sound of Freedom against Indiana Jones,
