00:00:46.120 This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.

00:00:50.060 Country music star Jason Aldean is defending his controversial music video

00:00:55.100 after it was pulled from rotation on CMT.

00:00:57.700 Critics have blasted, tried that in a small town, saying it has a pro-lynching undertone.

00:01:04.180 Jack Smith going to Subway today is a message to Donald Trump.

00:01:07.540 That was Jack Smith with no words and a simple $5 sub in his hand saying,

00:01:11.400 I'm here, I'm not going anywhere.

00:01:12.200 He was spotted today by CNN going to Subway for lunch,

00:01:16.620 picking up a sandwich, leaving and not saying a word.

00:01:19.540 So no comment from the special counsel's office.

00:01:21.980 They're in a rush because they want to interfere.

00:01:23.800 It's interference with the election.

00:01:25.520 It's election interference.

00:01:26.840 It's never been done like this.

00:01:28.300 The DOJ has become a weapon for the Democrats, an absolute weapon.

00:01:33.440 The Biden administration is lawless.

00:01:35.720 Let's talk about who the real criminals are.

00:01:37.600 It's the Biden family.

00:01:38.880 I don't know.

00:01:39.560 Ron DeSantis, you know, who would want to hang out with him?

00:01:42.920 Puberty is hard.

00:01:44.400 What if you're going through the wrong puberty?

00:01:46.220 We're talking about wildfire smoke, extreme heat.

00:01:49.980 So we know climate change has an effect.

00:01:51.880 Michigan's attorney general announcing charges against more than a dozen people

00:01:56.320 over their alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

00:02:00.400 That's right.

00:02:00.840 Dana Nessel announcing a series of charges against 16 electors

00:02:04.700 for allegedly signing certificates falsely claiming President Donald Trump

00:02:08.660 won the state of Michigan in the 2020 election.

00:02:11.100 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events

00:02:17.500 with Jack Posobiec and Tanya Tay Posobiec.

00:02:21.820 What's up, sweetheart?

00:02:23.520 Wow, dear.

00:02:24.160 Thank you for the invite.

00:02:25.400 Right.

00:02:25.680 Today is July 19th, 2023.

00:02:28.820 Anno Domini.

00:02:29.540 And as you can see, we are honored.

00:02:32.400 Aren't we honored?

00:02:33.080 We're honored.

00:02:33.740 So honored.

00:02:34.300 To be here broadcasting live from Bedminster, New Jersey.

00:02:39.240 This is Trump National Golf Course.

00:02:41.100 Where in just a few hours, we will be taking part in the historic presidential screening

00:02:48.420 of the film, A Sound of Freedom.

00:02:51.540 We're going to be talking about that for a lot of the show today,

00:02:54.340 but we also have to get to today's news.

00:02:56.880 And there was something that was mentioned in the cold open right now

00:02:59.160 that I need to say, and I'm going to say these names all completely.

00:03:03.040 Kathy Burden, 70.

00:03:05.480 William Chote, 72.

00:03:07.960 Amy Faccinello, 55.

00:03:09.700 Clifford Frost, 75.

00:03:11.740 Stanley Grott, 71.

00:03:13.540 John Haggard, 82.

00:03:15.800 Marianne Henry, 65.

00:03:18.160 Timothy King, 56.

00:03:20.540 Michelle Lundgren, 73.

00:03:23.600 Michonne Maddock, 55.

00:03:25.440 James Renner, 76.

00:03:28.020 Maya Rodriguez, 64. 0.96

00:03:29.880 Rose Rook, 81.

00:03:32.500 Mary Ann Sheridan, 69.

00:03:35.660 Ken Thompson, 68.

00:03:37.980 Kent Vanderwood, 69.

00:03:40.340 These are the Trump supporters.

00:03:43.340 Nearly 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,

00:04:02.680 for the alleged crime of submitting alternate ballots, alternate electors, in 2020.

00:04:11.540 This is a legal strategy that has been used by multiple campaigns in the past, who are actually used in the 1960 election.

00:04:20.720 Democrats have used this.

00:04:22.320 Democrats, like John Podesta in the Election Integrity Project, have discussed doing this.

00:04:26.820 But the Michigan Attorney General has just announced these charges against seniors.

00:04:34.200 Now, I'm not going to ask you specifics, but we all know that you were born in the Soviet Union.

00:04:41.880 Going after somebody in their 60s, in their 80s, does this sound like something you would hear in the United States of America?

00:04:49.520 When I first got here, I would never imagine that certain crimes of this level would be attributed to senior citizens. 0.97

00:05:01.660 When I look at the list, I see American patriots, I see somebody's grandfather, I see somebody's grandmother, mom, sister.

00:05:11.660 To see those people being put through this turmoil at the sunset of their lives, if I may say so, is very heartbreaking.

00:05:27.260 Yeah, what kind of a country do we have where if you are preparing to support a legal challenge,

00:05:35.320 if you have questions about an election, if you're being asked,

00:05:38.660 Hey, look, we say America is great because of America's democracy, America's freedom.

00:05:46.020 Where's democracy for these people?

00:05:48.200 Where's freedom for these people?

00:05:50.100 They wanted to take part in an electoral challenge, a constitutional challenge, a legal challenge,

00:05:58.580 and they're being criminalized for that challenge.

00:06:01.940 You don't have a right to ask questions.

00:06:04.580 You don't have a right to say you disagree.

00:06:06.880 You don't have a right to redress your government with grievances.

00:06:13.240 We've got a huge show today, folks.

00:06:14.760 We are here live from Trump Bedman.

00:06:17.580 So we're going to have some special guests joining us very soon.

00:06:20.440 But the most special guest is already here.

00:06:22.020 So stay tuned.

00:06:22.820 Hear Human Events. 0.71

00:06:23.660 I'm always listening to Human Events with Jack Posobiec.

00:06:30.020 All right, we are back.

00:06:31.600 Jack Posobiec here, the beautiful and lovely and talented Tanya Tay, joining us live from Bedminster National Golf Course.

00:06:38.700 The Sound of Freedom screening, the presidential historic screening will take place in just a few hours after the show.

00:06:46.420 But we wanted to come in and explain to everybody what's going on.

00:06:50.600 And by the way, so there's something that, you know, a lot of people have seen the show at this point.

00:06:54.820 A lot of people are now sharing the show with their friends.

00:06:58.000 The word of mouth on this is extremely strong, stronger than any movie that I've ever seen, probably since The Passion of the Christ.

00:07:05.820 So it's been 20 years, I guess 19 years, since that movie came out.

00:07:10.180 But one thing that we haven't done is, look, I've talked about how watching that film, and I saw it at the Museum of the Bible, with you.

00:07:18.400 And since that night, I've wanted to actually have you on to talk about, look, people have heard my take on it.

00:07:26.500 What about you?

00:07:27.160 How 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?

00:07:40.040 I believe this is the most important movie of 2023.

00:07:45.040 If you haven't seen it yet, you must.

00:07:47.500 As a mother, this touched me on such deep levels that at some point it's even hard to explain.

00:07:55.580 Because at one point in the movie, I was all in tears.

00:08:00.640 At another point of movie, I was full of anger.

00:08:05.160 Then I had the glimpses of hope.

00:08:08.700 And I think the emotion that I would like to speak the most of would be the hope.

00:08:15.440 Because 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.

00:08:25.580 Who have been trafficked.

00:08:29.540 That's what us as parents, that's something that us mothers gets going. 0.99

00:08:36.680 The hope that somebody can step up and do something about it.

00:08:40.100 As important as that is, and it's amazing, and we've gotten to know Tim a little bit.

00:08:44.180 It's in the process of all this.

00:08:46.440 Let me take you back, though, to that scene, that first scene where they take the kids and it's a fashion shoot, right?

00:08:54.340 That's the cover.

00:08:56.260 It's a fashion shoot.

00:08:57.640 Oh, leave your kids here and we'll be taking care of them. 1.00

00:09:01.000 And you go, you go.

00:09:02.280 You don't need to stay here.

00:09:03.580 We'll take care of the kids.

00:09:04.620 Because the father then returns to pick them up.

00:09:08.520 And what happens?

00:09:10.140 What does he find?

00:09:11.280 His kids, his boy and a girl were gone.

00:09:16.120 Disappeared.

00:09:17.300 This is the worst nightmare of any parent.

00:09:20.640 Leaving your kid and then coming back and not seeing them.

00:09:24.580 The absolute terror that I believe he experienced is something that I never want to experience in my life.

00:09:33.720 I can speak for all the parents.

00:09:36.360 It doesn't matter if they're on the left or on the right.

00:09:38.500 I know every parent would want nothing else but to see his kids where he left them on sheep.

00:09:45.640 There's been a few times where I can even just remember, you know, we were just down at the Turning Point event in Florida.

00:09:52.300 And 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.

00:10:00.640 So you want to see where the kids are.

00:10:02.320 So the idea that the kids could be gone.

00:10:04.900 And then as it shows in the movie, that everything is gone.

00:10:08.520 There's nobody there.

00:10:09.460 There's no card.

00:10:10.320 There's no location.

00:10:11.460 It's as if this fashion shoot had never happened.

00:10:15.880 Then 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.

00:10:21.520 Because they actually show – so on one level, they show – it's a two-level movie, right?

00:10:26.400 So the A-plot is the plot of Tim Ballard's character played by Jim Caviezel.

00:10:32.180 And 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.

00:10:42.900 But 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.

00:10:59.600 And what was it like watching those scenes?

00:11:03.080 Because I know for me it was rough.

00:11:04.980 But 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?

00:11:15.440 The South of Freedom movie doesn't have any graphic scenes.

00:11:21.080 Just a little disclaimer.

00:11:23.160 But you as an adult can almost picture what's going on.

00:11:28.080 And when you see those little kids helpless, you see their frightened eyes, you see the conditions they were in, it rips your soul apart.

00:11:40.840 It rips your heart out and you just want that insanity to stop.

00:11:48.420 You want to be there to protect them.

00:11:50.580 You 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.

00:12:14.580 They're shipped in terrible conditions.

00:12:17.300 The stuff that they endure at that young age is just beyond heartbreaking.

00:12:26.840 I remember in that scene you thought I was talking and you leaned over to me and you thought I was saying something to you.

00:12:37.760 But then I wasn't actually talking.

00:12:39.560 What was I doing?

00:12:40.620 You were actually praying the rosary.

00:12:42.340 I 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.

00:12:54.300 I'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.

00:13:05.180 But I never saw something like this where even when they're not showing what happens, you want to run out of the room.

00:13:13.920 You want to just – you want to lose your – you want to scream.

00:13:19.880 You want it to stop.

00:13:21.160 And by the end of the film, you just – I just – and I'm just going to say it.

00:13:25.840 At the end of the film, you get – and this is maybe – maybe it's the dad side of it.

00:13:29.940 But 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.

00:13:43.580 And you want to actually be able to go to the next level.

00:13:46.080 And if there's anything, it's – there's some fight scenes and there's great action.

00:13:49.440 But you – I mean you want him going just – you want them annihilated. 0.97

00:13:54.900 You want them completely annihilated. 0.91

00:13:57.000 So we do have a clip though because – so we've seen the film.

00:14:02.520 We've gone through the emotions and it is an experience.

00:14:05.840 But 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.

00:14:13.020 Well, in the case of Sound of Freedom, there's now a campaign to get people to not watch the movie.

00:14:18.500 And we've got a little clip.

00:14:19.900 Anti-campaign.

00:14:20.840 An anti-campaign, anti-marketing campaign.

00:14:22.660 So let's play that clip right now of the Sound of Freedom's anti-marketing campaign.

00:14:27.180 We're getting refunds for the Sound of Freedom because apparently the water pressure and the bathrooms aren't working here.

00:14:33.820 So no one can watch.

00:14:35.540 This horrible smell.

00:14:36.860 It smelled almost like an electrical fire.

00:14:39.200 So my fiancé and I just watched the movie Sound of Freedom.

00:14:42.060 It was hot as heck.

00:14:43.020 I literally brought a sweatshirt and I was like sweating.

00:14:45.640 But they didn't turn the lights off.

00:14:46.640 They literally had the lights on.

00:14:47.840 They took the lights on the entire movie.

00:14:49.700 Who does that?

00:14:50.520 So I just tried to watch the sound of freedom.

00:14:55.020 They're saying that there was technical difficulty.

00:14:59.720 So what's up with that?

00:15:01.700 So people are saying they have trouble seeing it.

00:15:04.320 Do you have any issues seeing it?

00:15:06.500 We did not have any issues.

00:15:07.800 But then again, we were at the Museum of Bible.

00:15:10.360 So there must have been God watching over us to prevent us from all the disasters.

00:15:13.920 Exactly.

00:15:14.060 We had God watching over us.

00:15:15.380 So, 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.

00:15:25.620 This could never happen.

00:15:26.760 It's all made up.

00:15:27.600 It's all fake.

00:15:28.860 Did you get anything out of this movie?

00:15:31.080 Did you see anything in there that you would say, OK, that seems too outlandish? 0.84

00:15:35.120 That seems ridiculous?

00:15:36.360 Or do you think that they played it pretty true to what actually goes on?

00:15:41.900 If anything, I could say that this movie is a lot of things, but it is apolitical.

00:15:48.940 This movie is something that can unite us as Americans, as parents.

00:15:55.520 It could unite the left and the right because what better of an agenda we can have as citizens than protect the God's children.

00:16:04.920 It's almost like a fight of evil against the good.

00:16:10.600 And how could you not take the side of the good in this case?

00:16:14.460 Well, and here's the best part of it, because, you know, we've got and this is breaking news.

00:16:20.380 This is not from, you know, this is from industry sources.

00:16:24.740 OK, 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.

00:16:39.300 Just two weeks, one hundred million dollars.

00:16:43.380 And they can't lie about it anymore.

00:16:46.340 They can't smear it.

00:16:47.360 They can't stop this film.

00:16:48.580 Sound of and this is from the Washington Examiner.

00:16:50.440 Sound of Freedom continues to beat Sony Pictures Insidious, the red door overall, overall.

00:16:57.060 So let me pull that up.

00:16:57.840 Let's see.

00:16:58.160 We only have a minute here, but I'm just going to try to do this.

00:17:00.300 And then it's beating Indiana Jones in day to day.

00:17:04.040 So Insidious, what is this like Insidious five or something?

00:17:07.760 It's I know there's been a lot of those and it's beating it overall.

00:17:11.160 I believe domestic and where do you go?

00:17:15.800 Box office, box office.

00:17:18.580 Only 61 million.

00:17:21.940 So Insidious, the red door only has 61 million domestic.

00:17:26.200 That'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.

00:17:36.620 Folks, that's a real film.

00:17:38.620 This 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.

00:17:53.460 This 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.

00:18:02.920 Look, and we'll talk about this more in the next segment.

00:18:05.100 But 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.

00:18:16.240 Did you have any idea it would be this big?

00:18:18.360 I was sure hoping for that, because I think that's the message that all of us need to hear.

00:18:23.100 All right. Stay tuned. You're right.

00:18:26.280 I encourage people to if you're interested in foreign policy, you've got to follow Jack Posobiec.

00:18:35.980 Jack Posobiec, we are back live here from Bedminster, New Jersey.

00:18:40.740 We are working on getting some of our very special guests.

00:18:44.180 I think some people are starting to show up.

00:18:46.120 Is that what I'm hearing? Is that what we're being told?

00:18:47.660 You're hearing right.

00:18:48.460 All right. We can't we can't reveal just yet exactly who's going to be joining us for the time being.

00:18:53.580 But it's it's incredible to be here at this.

00:18:57.760 Let me ask you this question as a mom, as someone who's seen the movie, as someone who you have.

00:19:04.080 It's kind of it's kind of funny. I'm in this position or like I'm interviewing my own wife.

00:19:07.300 Right. So but you have two little boys.

00:19:09.300 Right. Who are also my two little boys, obviously.

00:19:11.140 But from a perspective as this, as your perspective, you're also someone who's gone through that immigration process.

00:19:22.760 You've lived in that world of how hard it is to go through immigration.

00:19:28.260 You've also you also come from Eastern Europe and you've seen people.

00:19:35.600 Potentially 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.

00:19:43.500 I 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.

00:19:52.820 If you know what I'm saying, yes, you hear those stories, left or right.

00:19:59.060 And 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.

00:20:09.500 And unfortunately, the amount of those stories with with the open borders now specifically in the southern border of America are becoming more common.

00:20:19.140 Growing up back in the Soviet Union, those stories are not as common because I felt like the borders were existing.

00:20:33.540 We 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.

00:20:48.540 And 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?

00:20:58.120 I've heard of people, yes.

00:20:58.740 And what did it turn out to be?

00:21:00.700 It turned out to be some sort of sexual abuse and things of that nature.

00:21:11.700 So they think they're going out for a job, but it turns out being...

00:21:15.140 They think they're going to dance in a club when it turns out to be something else.

00:21:18.260 Well, even dancing in a club is already a little risqué there.

00:21:22.340 But I think we may have somebody who could join us that knows a little bit about these very types of situations, possibly a little more.

00:21:31.760 I think we're going to produce on the fly because, ladies and gentlemen, we have Mr. Tim Ballard himself joining us right here.

00:21:40.200 Tim, what's going on, man?

00:21:41.720 How are you?

00:21:42.460 Tim, I don't know if you've met Tanya before.

00:21:45.320 Tanya, I'm going to meet you.

00:21:46.080 Hi, so great to meet you.

00:21:47.580 I think we briefly met at the D.C. premiere but didn't really get a chance to talk.

00:21:51.560 So Tanya, born in the Soviet Union, then it became territory of Belarus, immigrated to the United States.

00:21:58.520 And 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.

00:22:08.060 But, you know, obviously with the war in Ukraine, we've seen an uptick in that part of the world.

00:22:13.320 Absolutely.

00:22:13.920 Yeah, 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.

00:22:24.020 And I said, Catherine, there's Russian missiles dropping.

00:22:29.120 Like, I don't think I can do anything about these seven kids.

00:22:31.940 And a few hours later, Mel Gibson calls me and says the same thing.

00:22:35.900 But he has, like, more kids, orphans, you know, he's worried about in Ukraine.

00:22:39.520 So we ended up partnering with a group, with my good friends at Aerial Recovery, and ended up running extraction operations.

00:22:47.780 6,000 women and children we relocated, a lot of orphans in there.

00:22:51.920 But 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?

00:23:02.920 And the answer is it's what they call harvest time.

00:23:06.540 Harvest time for traffickers is in the wake of a serious catastrophe like an earthquake or a hurricane or, in this case, a war.

00:23:13.820 Or a war.

00:23:14.240 Because 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.

00:23:24.080 They're going to get in.

00:23:25.260 And so we tapped into an organization, a criminal organization, while we were in Ukraine.

00:23:29.260 And this was a pedophile group that had been – they were all fugitives out of Holland.

00:23:35.260 They had set up a political party there.

00:23:38.080 It's called the PNVD.

00:23:39.840 Basically, it's the party of – translates into the party of love and freedom.

00:23:43.300 You know, they use some term to hide behind.

00:23:45.900 No, we're familiar with the party, actually.

00:23:46.500 Right.

00:23:46.680 Okay.

00:23:47.100 Yeah.

00:23:47.560 Well, then they ended up fleeing justice because they were arrested and charged.

00:23:53.480 They reared their ugly heads during the Ukraine war because they're trying to get kids. 1.00

00:23:56.820 Now, they're hiding in Mexico. 0.99

00:23:57.920 They're hiding in Latin America.

00:23:58.920 So, anyway, we ended up filming the entire thing.

00:24:01.480 So, you basically – just real quick on that.

00:24:03.000 You've got rat lines, basically, that are sourcing in Ukraine, but then they're actually running the operation down in Mexico.

00:24:10.260 Correct.

00:24:11.060 Mexico, Caribbean, Ecuador.

00:24:13.440 Anyway, so we filmed this whole thing.

00:24:15.140 It's a four-part series. 0.98

00:24:16.380 It 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. 0.99

00:24:28.260 So, it's so transnational, this whole thing.

00:24:30.380 I 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.

00:24:44.500 But it only happens if you can have a transnational solution, which is what we do.

00:24:49.360 We bring that.

00:24:50.180 As 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.

00:24:59.960 You know, child trafficking or adult trafficking, any kind of trafficking knows no borders and boundaries.

00:25:05.520 Unfortunately, bureaucracies do. 0.91

00:25:07.000 So, if we don't start working together, and the private-public model that we put forth is that solution.

00:25:12.640 Well, 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.

00:25:22.980 I was at Guantanamo for a year working those operations with detainees.

00:25:27.200 We 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?

00:25:41.520 You 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.

00:25:47.520 And 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.

00:26:00.860 That's the point.

00:26:01.640 But I always kept running into this fact that we're not using these international organizations for anything like this.

00:26:09.680 NATO isn't used like this.

00:26:10.980 Interpol 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.

00:26:19.340 But, 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.

00:26:28.140 You know, we're going to launch a war here.

00:26:29.500 We're going to put a base there.

00:26:30.900 No, it's let's go after the child traffickers. 0.96

00:26:33.200 Let's go after terrorists.

00:26:34.140 Let's go after international drug networks because that's how they're operating, so we need to operate the same way.

00:26:39.820 That's right.

00:26:40.420 It wouldn't be great to use all these amazing resources for things that have no moral ambiguity.

00:26:44.880 Yes.

00:26:45.060 There's only a few of those things left.

00:26:47.080 Child trafficking is one of them.

00:26:48.240 Right.

00:26:48.440 And 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.

00:26:56.060 I need the information, right?

00:26:57.380 That's what it comes down to.

00:26:58.420 Right.

00:26:58.560 So 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.

00:27:07.820 Let's go.

00:27:08.240 Yep, and the only way that happens, I think, is mass awareness, mass awareness.

00:27:13.700 When the people are clamoring, the people are pissed, the people are screaming, why aren't we using resources this way?

00:27:18.440 And 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.

00:27:26.620 We're running – so we just did the numbers right before you walked in.

00:27:29.280 Oh, where are they?

00:27:29.820 Am I close on that?

00:27:30.880 Yeah, you're about to cross 95, and it's looking at 100.

00:27:34.760 Unbelievable.

00:27:35.440 It's looking at 100.

00:27:36.220 And that's in two weeks.

00:27:37.020 We haven't even gone international yet.

00:27:38.500 No.

00:27:38.980 And when we go international, guess what?

00:27:40.680 I mean, that's where – I'm excited because I'm thinking, well, that's where we do so many rescues.

00:27:44.680 In the countries where this film – I'm getting chills right now thinking about this because that's where – they need change, too.

00:27:48.680 And the guys in Columbia are saying, bring it here because it'll wake up our government.

00:27:53.060 Bring it to Europe. 0.82

00:27:53.740 It'll wake up our government there.

00:27:54.840 It'll wake up the governments of the world when this movie hits.

00:27:58.100 And that's when we'll start seeing a resource switch.

00:28:00.740 Like, right now, there's roughly about five anti-drug U.S. agents for every one anti-trial trafficking agent.

00:28:07.420 Let's watch that.

00:28:09.220 Well, 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,

00:28:17.280 but that they were actually moving agents away from child trafficking under the DOJ and under the FBI,

00:28:23.600 and they were putting them on these political –

00:28:26.580 Yeah, like tracking school boards.

00:28:28.000 To do all this.

00:28:28.620 Yeah, school boards.

00:28:29.380 Yeah, you saw some of that testimony from a special agent friend and others who said, I was working on child crimes.

00:28:34.140 And they said, no, you're going to sit in a parking lot and write down license plates of parents who are going to school board meetings.

00:28:39.480 Yeah, very important stuff.

00:28:40.380 Yeah, really.

00:28:40.760 They're really keeping the nation safe.

00:28:41.840 Yeah, so –

00:28:42.320 That's what you joined for.

00:28:42.960 So – oh, my gosh.

00:28:44.720 So, luckily, that never happened to me.

00:28:46.080 I always got to work the child crimes, and I loved working with Homeland Security investigations, and I still do.

00:28:51.560 But no change happens without someone getting loud.

00:28:55.160 Right.

00:28:55.520 And 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.

00:29:03.880 Did 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.

00:29:14.020 Did you ever expect it would be this big?

00:29:15.600 Like, oh, my gosh, no.

00:29:16.560 Like, I didn't even think it was a good idea at first when they approached me and said, let's do a movie about this.

00:29:21.520 Wow.

00:29:21.880 Because I was like – I don't think – I can't get people to talk about this.

00:29:26.580 Like, I come up from – it's hard to get media to talk about it.

00:29:29.260 Not exactly a touchy-feely subject.

00:29:30.980 Right.

00:29:31.360 It doesn't – yeah, it doesn't make you feel wonderful.

00:29:33.300 So –

00:29:34.120 You probably wouldn't – you wouldn't like me to bring this up at the dinner table, right?

00:29:36.720 Not really, no.

00:29:37.600 Yeah.

00:29:37.620 So – 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.

00:29:49.560 I 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.

00:30:00.640 There's a whole movement right now targeting children.

00:30:02.920 It'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.

00:30:14.160 I 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.

00:30:23.460 They were also looking for a story to get behind.

00:30:25.420 They 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.

00:30:36.460 The time has come to stop being silent.

00:30:38.660 We'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.

00:30:46.660 Buzzing in my ear about the boring people at your office.

00:30:49.940 I'm trying to listen to the new human events with Jack Pozovic.

00:30:55.420 All right, we are back here live from historic Trump National in Bedminster.

00:31:01.280 You've got the shot right there, the delightful greens.

00:31:05.200 You 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.

00:31:16.900 We're joined by Tim Ballard, the subject of the film.

00:31:19.720 Tanya Tay is also joining us.

00:31:21.080 I 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?

00:31:32.560 But 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.

00:31:39.860 But I'm wondering if it's actually having something, a little bit of a Streisand effect.

00:31:42.700 But let's play a little bit.

00:31:43.920 We've got a clip of that anti-marketing campaign.

00:31:49.900 These films are created out of moral panics.

00:31:53.240 They're created out of bogus statistics.

00:31:55.560 They're created out of fear.

00:31:56.760 And 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.

00:32:14.360 So there's a very participatory element.

00:32:16.580 You're not just going to see a movie.

00:32:17.920 You're just killing two hours on a hot day.

00:32:19.840 You are helping bring down these pedophile rings and save children.

00:32:23.700 Now, it's not true, but it's a very comforting and it's a very warm feeling to have.

00:32:30.320 So Tim, he says it's not true.

00:32:31.900 It's not true.

00:32:32.840 Oh, you know, what does it feel like to just boldface lie to a camera?

00:32:36.720 I mean, because this guy says they're specifically looking at QAnon issues.

00:32:40.900 Okay, let me say something first.

00:32:42.020 This film was produced, written, and completed before anyone ever heard the word QAnon.

00:32:47.080 I still don't even know what that is.

00:32:48.300 I actually went and found the timeline of like, and I put them side by side.

00:32:53.460 It's like, okay, here's when they started working on the film.

00:32:55.860 Here's when they shot the film.

00:32:57.240 And like, then this thing, okay, then it posts here, but they were already working on it.

00:33:01.520 And then it wasn't even big until like, oh, it doesn't, it doesn't even match at all.

00:33:05.400 And 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.

00:33:13.360 There's no high elites.

00:33:14.360 These are real bad guys.

00:33:15.400 They're in jail.

00:33:16.360 Like, these are real kids.

00:33:18.000 And 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.

00:33:25.800 That's right.

00:33:26.060 They all did stories.

00:33:26.940 They reported.

00:33:27.620 The story didn't change.

00:33:28.860 They did.

00:33:29.640 Something happened to their souls, whatever.

00:33:32.280 And now they're pretending it didn't happen or somehow now it's something different.

00:33:37.800 But we're going to have the kids from the, they're young adults now, the kids rescued, that you see rescued in the film.

00:33:43.840 The actual kids.

00:33:44.460 The actual kids are dying.

00:33:46.020 A lot of them are in Columbia.

00:33:47.400 They work with us still.

00:33:49.020 They're going to come up.

00:33:49.760 And I've invited The Guardian.

00:33:51.060 I've invited CNN.

00:33:52.240 I invite that strange-looking fellow who says that we're all QAnon.

00:33:56.400 Come, come and tell those kids to their faces who were rescued from a life of rape.

00:34:00.720 You come and tell them that they're part of some QAnon conspiracy and their lives and their story is not real. 0.99

00:34:07.020 I would, what an awkward and beautiful conversation.

00:34:09.120 You're going to have, so they're going to come forward.

00:34:10.540 Oh, they're not going to, I've invited them, but no one's taking me up on the invitation yet.

00:34:13.340 No, but I mean the kids.

00:34:14.200 Oh, the kids?

00:34:14.840 Yeah.

00:34:15.080 They want to talk to The Guardian.

00:34:16.520 They want to talk to, oh, they say, hey, tell us, tell me how I'm part of a conspiracy.

00:34:20.100 Oh, wow.

00:34:20.460 This is my life.

00:34:21.320 Oh, wow.

00:34:22.040 My life was almost destroyed.

00:34:23.940 These guys came in and rescued me, but you go ahead and tell me how I'm part of a conspiracy and this is not real.

00:34:29.120 This is fake.

00:34:29.860 It's, no one's responded yet, but I invite them all again.

00:34:33.400 Come on down, guys.

00:34:34.600 We'll give you the dates and you can interview the kids and you can, they're adults now.

00:34:39.100 Right, right, right.

00:34:39.680 But you can tell them that their lives are a conspiracy.

00:34:42.480 Oh, some of the, and we were just in, oh, sorry, go ahead.

00:34:44.380 The opening line in a movie is based on real life story.

00:34:49.020 Yeah.

00:34:49.240 And 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.

00:34:58.560 I was, you know, when you first walked in, I thought, is that Jim?

00:35:00.860 You guys look so alike.

00:35:02.220 I was like, is that Jim?

00:35:03.380 Is that, wait, no, but Jim's got the beard, so that's what it is.

00:35:05.680 The other thing is, we filmed it.

00:35:07.680 At 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.

00:35:15.860 It's a docu-series or documentary.

00:35:18.280 Angel Studios has it.

00:35:19.160 They're going to put it out. 0.99

00:35:19.820 So it's so embarrassing for these idiots in the media who are saying these things, and it's like, this is a real story. 1.00

00:35:26.460 All the kids are real kids. 1.00

00:35:27.960 All the bad guys.

00:35:28.660 All the good guys.

00:35:29.580 They do play with some in the narrative, mostly to hide identities of certain kids, but it's just, it's...

00:35:35.340 I don't think anyone expects it's ever going to be one-to-one from reality to screen.

00:35:39.600 There's always going to be a little bit.

00:35:41.100 Right, but the overall thing is it's based on true story.

00:35:44.540 In that story, you have inspiration.

00:35:46.200 You have hope.

00:35:46.940 You 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.

00:35:58.140 Do you think, and this is something that I noticed that just in...

00:36:02.760 We're talking about timelines.

00:36:04.940 Because I noticed that this smear campaign, and it's been the exact same smears from every outlet against you guys.

00:36:10.840 Every single one.

00:36:11.540 QAnon, QAnon, QAnon, QAnon, QAnon, QAnon, QAnon, QAnon, QAnon, QAnon, QAnon.

00:36:14.080 I don't even know.

00:36:14.920 What's QAnon?

00:36:15.760 Is R Q adjacent? 0.98

00:36:18.120 So is...

00:36:19.320 That's a dad joke.

00:36:20.600 Very much a dad joke.

00:36:22.340 So none of that happened all the way during the lead-up to the movie.

00:36:29.100 We didn't see the smears.

00:36:30.400 We didn't see the attacks.

00:36:31.360 And I was confused.

00:36:32.260 I said, why are they not attacking this thing?

00:36:34.240 Because usually...

00:36:35.580 And look, I've done this for a while.

00:36:37.160 The narratives come out.

00:36:38.200 The attacks come out.

00:36:39.060 The smears come out.

00:36:40.040 Nobody said anything.

00:36:41.020 Nobody said anything.

00:36:41.720 Nobody said anything.

00:36:42.500 July 3rd, people start going to see it.

00:36:44.160 It's pre-screens.

00:36:44.920 Nobody sees it.

00:36:45.480 July 4th.

00:36:46.080 Everybody goes to see it.

00:36:46.820 Everyone's having a great time.

00:36:47.600 We're just posting our reviews.

00:36:49.180 We said, we saw it.

00:36:50.120 We had a great time.

00:36:50.760 We were actually experiencing it.

00:36:53.820 But then, all of a sudden, it beats Indiana Jones on the 4th of July.

00:36:59.320 And this is kind of what I think happened.

00:37:01.840 And this is just my contention.

00:37:03.700 Because all of a sudden, on July 5th, that's when the floodgates open.

00:37:10.220 And it's CNN.

00:37:11.200 And we should actually pull...

00:37:12.380 Actually, Producer Angelo, can you get the date of that take?

00:37:16.220 Because I'd love to know how...

00:37:18.280 I guarantee you that clip was not before July 4th.

00:37:20.520 I guarantee.

00:37:21.280 Because I know for a fact that none of this would happen until afterwards.

00:37:27.340 So, and even the pre-reviews weren't like this.

00:37:30.040 It's like Disney gets up on the phone and Bob Iger's going, he's like, shut this thing down.

00:37:35.140 You gotta do something about this.

00:37:37.160 This is...

00:37:37.720 But July 10th.

00:37:38.520 We just got...

00:37:39.020 There.

00:37:39.280 July 10th.

00:37:40.180 Angela just said it.

00:37:41.060 July 10th.

00:37:41.880 Right?

00:37:42.320 Unbelievable.

00:37:42.740 None of this was before.

00:37:43.800 It all came after it beat Indiana Jones.

00:37:47.260 How did you beat Indiana Jones, by the way?

00:37:49.820 How did that happen?

00:37:51.520 It feels like a miracle, like the parting of the Red Sea to me.

00:37:54.720 It really does.

00:37:55.560 Because Angel Studios says, hey, Jim, if we really do a good job, we could maybe make 30 million out of this.

00:38:00.640 Like in total.

00:38:01.540 And we're like, oh, that's cool.

00:38:03.080 That was like the whoa goal, right? 0.72

00:38:05.080 Right.

00:38:05.420 And so two weeks later, they'd be looking at 100 million.

00:38:07.940 What I think's happening, though, back to the timeliness of God and the people being ready, people are tired.

00:38:15.420 People are tired of being lied to.

00:38:16.860 People are tired of kids being exposed in every way.

00:38:19.800 I mean, you can't put your kids in public schools these days.

00:38:21.940 I mean, they're indoctrinating our kids.

00:38:23.900 Kids are getting hurt at the border.

00:38:25.360 And I think the people in this land know it.

00:38:27.340 And they feel it.

00:38:28.280 And this film not only shines a light on all that's happening bad to children, but it's also a dividing line.

00:38:34.100 Like 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.

00:38:44.240 And so people are being identified.

00:38:45.580 It's like the line's even drawn clearer than ever before, good and bad over this issue.

00:38:50.660 So there's so many benefits to knowing who's on which side and what the solutions are to end this.

00:38:56.720 And 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.

00:39:09.380 But you said that you had a different mess, take away from it.

00:39:12.860 I, 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.

00:39:31.100 But you had one goal and one child for you was worth it.

00:39:34.540 And that would give me so much hope.

00:39:36.240 And I think this movie, in a sense, is a call to action.

00:39:38.640 I know I'm not going to run, you know, saving the kids, but I know what I could do is spread the message.

00:39:44.560 And that feels to me like that one action that I could do as a mother.

00:39:49.540 And I feel like many parents, in that sense, united.

00:39:53.000 And they say, you know what?

00:39:54.720 This is something that we could do.

00:39:56.760 And this is something that's realistic and it's possible.

00:39:59.220 And with the help of social media nowadays, we can make that happen.

00:40:02.180 And look at the numbers.

00:40:03.560 I feel this is really happening.

00:40:04.940 That's awesome.

00:40:05.620 Is that what you're hearing?

00:40:06.360 You're hearing a lot of that?

00:40:07.340 Oh, yeah, absolutely.

00:40:08.840 I mean, this is ground.

00:40:10.680 This is the grassroots.

00:40:11.700 This is millions.

00:40:12.980 This is resonating with hearts.

00:40:15.180 Like, I've always been waiting.

00:40:16.460 As the woke have gotten crazier and I've watched kids get threatened, I've always said to my wife,

00:40:21.920 there's got to be a silent majority out there.

00:40:24.000 Where are they?

00:40:24.940 Why aren't they louder?

00:40:25.940 I think they're coming.

00:40:27.540 You know, they're emerging, the silent majority.

00:40:30.980 The silent majority is absolutely coming true.

00:40:33.580 And another person that's going to be joining us in just a minute, we have another special guest

00:40:38.420 because there's another chair right there.

00:40:40.240 And after this break, you're going to see another special guest.

00:40:43.360 And we're really going to drive home the story of Sound of Freedom ahead of this historic Bedminster, New Jersey,

00:40:50.800 Trump National Golf Course, the presidential screening of A Sound of Freedom.

00:40:56.020 We're here with the origin story, the story that it's based on, as well as some of the people that are behind the film.

00:41:02.720 In fact, maybe should we get maybe one of the actors from the film?

00:41:05.940 Should we should we get one of the actors?

00:41:07.100 Sounds like a good idea.

00:41:08.000 We think on, well, stay tuned, folks.

00:41:09.820 Human Events continues.

00:41:10.780 We will see.

00:41:14.160 When I grew up in the hood, I rolled with Bloods. 1.00

00:41:16.960 And them boys had a saying.

00:41:19.020 You can't be listening to all that slappy whack, trim out his outlet, it's a bam ship, nippy bam bam, 1.00

00:41:24.440 like Human Events with Jack Posobiec.

00:41:26.480 Ladies and gentlemen, we are back from Bedminster, New Jersey.

00:41:32.700 Jack Posobiec, Tanya Tay, Tim Ballard.

00:41:35.100 And we are joined by Eduardo Verastegui himself, the producer of Sound of Freedom and an actor in the film.

00:41:43.700 Eduardo, thank you so much for joining us.

00:41:45.340 Tell me, what is it when you first got involved with this film?

00:41:48.540 Did you ever think not only that you would be crossing the $100 million mark, which is a huge number in the industry,

00:41:57.420 but that tonight you would be showing it for a president of the United States?

00:42:02.160 Never imagined.

00:42:03.160 I mean, I'm a big dreamer, brother.

00:42:04.680 But even in my, I mean, I dream big.

00:42:07.480 But this is beyond my dreams.

00:42:09.820 This is the American dream and the Mexican dream together. 0.96

00:42:13.080 I, I, like, I never dream to, first of all, you have to understand there is two Mexican filmmakers,

00:42:20.200 Alejandro Monteverde and Eduardo Verastegui.

00:42:23.180 One is the director, the other one is the producer.

00:42:26.520 What we wanted to do is to save lives.

00:42:29.320 What happened when two Mexican filmmakers meets with two American heroes, Tim Ballard and Jim Caviezel,

00:42:35.120 when they shake hands and work together?

00:42:37.060 Sound of Freedom.

00:42:37.720 What happened with the bad guys from Mexico meets with the bad guys from America when they shake hands and they work together? 0.73

00:42:44.480 Child trafficking.

00:42:45.780 So I'm living the American dream and the Mexican dream because I moved to America almost 21 years ago.

00:42:51.480 I didn't speak English.

00:42:52.620 Alejandro didn't speak English.

00:42:54.240 We immersed in the culture.

00:42:55.860 I didn't allow myself to speak Spanish with anybody for a year so I can force myself to start thinking in English

00:43:02.160 because when you're 28, at that time I was 28, a few years ago, um, just a couple years ago, a couple years ago, um,

00:43:08.760 it's very difficult, right?

00:43:10.440 But I never imagined that 20 years later after Alejandro and I, we opened this production company with one mission,

00:43:15.460 to produce films that will have the potential not only to entertain but hopefully to make a difference in people's lives.

00:43:20.160 After you made what I would say honestly is the best pro-life movie of all time, Bella.

00:43:24.780 That was, that was my first, uh, production.

00:43:27.400 That was Alejandro's first, uh, time directing.

00:43:29.960 And then after Bella, then Little Boy came, then the third one, Sound of Freedom.

00:43:34.720 But this 20 years, we do like these boutique films, like artesanal, like, you know,

00:43:38.880 take us like always three, four, five years because we are, you know, we're not in the system.

00:43:43.320 We're outsiders, right?

00:43:45.040 But 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,

00:43:52.520 never thought that a small distribution company, perhaps the smallest one in the country, Angel Studios,

00:43:58.500 competing with the biggest company in the world, Disney, Sound of Freedom against Indiana Jones,

00:44:04.300 July 4th, are you kidding me?

00:44:05.960 No chance.

00:44:06.720 Humanly speaking, we have no chance.

00:44:08.640 And we became the number one movie in America on July 4th.

00:44:11.960 All glory to God.

00:44:14.080 And so many people that are praying for this film, for Angel Studios, for the sacrifice that Tim Ballard did,

00:44:19.940 Jim Caviezel, Alejandro Monteverde, and so many people working in this project,

00:44:24.660 but especially the five, now I believe six million people showing up in theaters.

00:44:29.680 God bless you guys.

00:44:30.480 This is amazing.

00:44:31.220 God is amazing.

00:44:31.940 We're so grateful.

00:44:33.140 And this is just the beginning.

00:44:34.380 This movement is growing and growing and growing.

00:44:36.800 It's too late.

00:44:37.340 They want to stop it.

00:44:38.180 Too late.

00:44:38.900 They can take me.

00:44:39.760 They can take Tim.

00:44:41.040 This movement, millions of people, they cannot take millions of people.

00:44:44.360 God's children are not for sale.

00:44:45.800 I'm so happy.

00:44:46.920 God bless America.

00:44:47.640 This nation has been such an amazing blessing in my life.

00:44:50.360 Open the doors to my dreams.

00:44:53.440 And I'm living the dream, brother.

00:44:54.760 Amen.

00:44:55.400 Tim, you know, I've seen a bunch of the interviews that you guys have done over the past couple weeks,

00:44:59.200 and you've done just a million interviews.

00:45:01.240 But one question that I don't think I've seen answered yet.

00:45:06.160 Tim, what made you trust these guys with your story?

00:45:08.680 What made you say, look at this guy over here and those guys and say,

00:45:12.200 they come around, hey, you know, we can do a movie for you.

00:45:15.160 We'll do a good job.

00:45:16.080 It's not your life.

00:45:16.600 They say, you know, it's not you.

00:45:18.520 I'm so glad you asked because it actually has an interesting answer.

00:45:21.300 I haven't heard anyone ask that question yet.

00:45:22.620 So after we did that operation and all the media that, again, that are now attacking us

00:45:27.240 were, you know, applauding us, right?

00:45:29.940 And Eduardo got a hold and others got a hold of this story.

00:45:33.560 And we got hit up by several, I won't name any names, but big studios.

00:45:39.060 And I went to my wife and I said, can you believe like Hollywood's like wanting to do a movie?

00:45:43.040 That was never in our imagination.

00:45:44.980 And I said, I don't trust Hollywood.

00:45:46.480 I think it can make or break you, right?

00:45:48.340 So I said, you need to come with me and she doesn't leave.

00:45:51.340 You know, we have nine kids and she doesn't like to leave very often.

00:45:55.600 And I said, I need you to come with me to every meeting with every producer and you make the decision, not me.

00:46:00.480 Because she's purer than me.

00:46:02.200 That's exactly how I am with my wife. 0.98

00:46:03.660 That's exactly how I am with Tanya.

00:46:05.660 Women have that intuition. 1.00

00:46:07.180 Absolutely.

00:46:07.540 And they could see the good.

00:46:09.320 That's right.

00:46:10.000 And something, a movie is existential, bad or good.

00:46:14.200 Like it's like an existential threat potential.

00:46:16.660 And so she came.

00:46:18.320 We went, I remember walking off one of the biggest lots.

00:46:21.500 And I was like mesmerized.

00:46:23.520 I'm like, wow.

00:46:24.700 You know, all the studios.

00:46:27.160 And she's like, the answer is no.

00:46:29.080 Before we left the lot, she's like, the answer is no.

00:46:30.700 I'm like, what?

00:46:33.440 Like the glamour of Hollywood.

00:46:35.760 You know, I'm getting stuck.

00:46:36.600 I'm embarrassed about it.

00:46:39.160 But she's like, no.

00:46:40.160 I'm like, I said, no.

00:46:42.620 She said, she has veto, not me.

00:46:44.600 And then like six months pass.

00:46:46.200 And I get a call from Eduardo.

00:46:48.260 Hey, will you come down and watch a movie?

00:46:50.200 That's all he said.

00:46:50.780 Just come watch a movie.

00:46:51.840 I remember Ava Longoria was hosting the movie, the movie called Little Boy.

00:46:55.620 And Catherine came with me.

00:46:57.400 Because I thought, is he going to ask?

00:47:01.220 So she came with me.

00:47:02.820 We watched the film.

00:47:03.860 I look over at the end of the movie.

00:47:04.800 And my wife is just sobbing, but in a good way.

00:47:07.920 Just like, that was one of the best movies I've ever seen.

00:47:10.420 And then she turns over.

00:47:11.260 She says, if they ask you, the answer is yes.

00:47:15.820 So he took us to dinner.

00:47:17.140 Alejandro was there that night.

00:47:18.420 And he said, we want our next project to be your story.

00:47:21.400 And I said, well, good news.

00:47:23.580 You're pre-approved.

00:47:24.860 You're pre-approved.

00:47:25.780 You're pre-approved.

00:47:26.520 Why give it a go?

00:47:28.200 God bless your wife, brother.

00:47:29.460 Because you know what?

00:47:30.480 Now, did you know?

00:47:31.640 Did you know that he wasn't actually the decision maker?

00:47:34.480 Because when you go into a negotiation, you've got to know who the key decision maker is.

00:47:38.120 And I would assume that it's the guy who wrote the story.

00:47:40.660 No, no.

00:47:41.880 It's the woman sitting next to him.

00:47:43.400 We all know how this works.

00:47:45.700 He told me later, you know what?

00:47:46.940 You have to give the credit to my wife.

00:47:48.800 And we will, of course.

00:47:51.400 We will.

00:47:51.800 Because it's very difficult to make a movie about someone that is alive.

00:47:56.980 You know?

00:47:57.300 When you make a movie about a hero who died 40 years ago, it's easier, right?

00:48:01.540 You have the guy who is doing what you see in the film.

00:48:04.480 He keeps doing that every two weeks, right?

00:48:06.760 Around the world.

00:48:07.880 So he's right there.

00:48:08.860 His wife, his family.

00:48:10.240 Imagine the responsibility, brother.

00:48:11.660 Not only to make a good movie, but then what?

00:48:15.780 What do you do after you make a movie?
