00:00:00.000 the legacy media is once again in a fit of collective outrage they are in full-on panic
00:00:11.980 mode over the smashing box office hit movie sound of freedom sound of freedom tells the real life
00:00:18.160 story of tim ballard a former u.s homeland security agent who quits his job to rescue
00:00:23.740 children around the world from child trafficking ring despite its low production and marketing
00:00:29.160 budget on july 4th one of the biggest movie days of the year in the united states it smashed
00:00:34.760 competitors like the latest disney indiana jones movie and was number one on the charts in canada
00:00:41.240 the story is the same it's selling out theaters and theaters across the country have extended its run
00:00:46.600 because of its success so why is a movie about exposing child trafficking rings around the world
00:00:52.460 and raising awareness about this scourge that is rarely talked about being trashed by almost every
00:00:58.000 single legacy media outlet and why does it appear as though legacy media journalists are
00:01:03.200 desperately trying to stop you from seeing this film you might have seen what the washington post
00:01:08.220 and rolling stone have said about sound of freedom but quite honestly you have to hear what the cbc is
00:01:14.040 telling canadians about this film despite their outrageous takes it appears as though these state
00:01:19.460 funded film critics have lost perspective on their jobs instead of telling us about how the film threads
00:01:25.220 as a narrative for two and a half hours and how it captivates the audience the film critics attack
00:01:30.760 the audience and promoters of the film not the film itself maybe that's because there's not much
00:01:35.920 to criticize about it but let's be honest if there was ever a sign of approval for you to go see a film
00:01:41.260 it's when the cbc tells you to not go and see it drop a like in the video help us out by subscribing
00:01:46.540 to the true north youtube channel stick around for the ratio of the weak prize and the common question
00:01:50.940 for the episode is this it's a simple one have you seen sound of freedom and if not what are you doing
00:01:56.760 go check it out right away all right let's get into it last night i went to the movie theater to watch
00:02:01.700 sound of freedom something i would usually never do because frankly every single new movie these days
00:02:07.040 seems to be some remake of a 1980s hit movie but the lead characters are replaced with diversity hires
00:02:13.940 and the story always happens to be some far left progressive narrative but this i can guarantee you
00:02:20.560 is a spectacular film not only is the story extremely important not only is the message
00:02:26.760 a critical one the film itself is a really well made movie that's why the audience score on rotten
00:02:32.260 tomatoes is 100 and also that is why every single piece of criticism of this movie isn't about the
00:02:40.920 movie itself it's about the storyline and it's about who is promoting the movie for the past two weeks
00:02:48.060 as sound of freedom has been smashing the box office in the united states and in canada legacy
00:02:54.580 media outlets like rolling stone washington post cnn mostly in the united states have been trashing
00:03:01.320 this film left right and center they have been trying to discourage anyone from seeing it the main line of
00:03:07.320 attack is that this movie is a q anon adjacent film but as always the cbc just had to outdo every other
00:03:15.180 legacy media outlet across the western world and provide their own analysis on this film and and try to
00:03:21.160 dissect why so many people want to see this over some disney remake of indiana jones take a listen at
00:03:28.920 what the cbc pop culture columnist has to say about sound of freedom and why it's so successful
00:03:35.740 i'm sure you just can't believe what they're going to tell you take a listen but this is the way it
00:03:41.700 beat it like this is where things get really really wild because like as i said we none of us heard of
00:03:46.400 this movie and you would have only heard of this movie if you are a regular among church groups or
00:03:52.920 you regularly watch fox news or you follow right-wing personalities like ben shapiro and jordan peterson and
00:03:59.320 the like or you are a q anon conspiracy theorist or part of the so-called freedom movements like but
00:04:06.020 make no mistake i think the movie success has a lot to do with it being a dog whistle for xenophobic pro
00:04:12.000 trump pro-life types i guess we can't say that the movie itself is made by q anon types i mean the
00:04:17.380 filmmakers deny that entirely but certainly operation underground railroads their political goals
00:04:22.800 make it something that q anon conspiracy theorists would rally behind just like racist
00:04:27.660 like to rally behind trump without him having to say anything overtly racist right and again it's not
00:04:32.660 just q anon types rallying behind this movie i was at a packed screening last night in toronto
00:04:37.840 the movie's been selling out every night here in toronto and it's now opening wide in many more
00:04:42.500 theaters and you know at the theater i was polling the people in the theater about what brought them
00:04:46.860 to this movie that most of us never heard of and there was a group who said they were encouraged to
00:04:51.780 see the movie on the recommendation of their america friends who heard about that from through their
00:04:55.540 church group and then there were groups who attended because they heard about it on jordan peterson
00:04:59.780 or ben shapiro's podcast or other types of right-wing influencers and then there was people who attended
00:05:05.340 it because they were encouraged to do so by their online freedom rally groups you know which ones are
00:05:10.340 talking about right like the freedom convoy type of people right unbelievable so this pop culture critic
00:05:15.960 from the cbc can't wrap his head around why sound of freedom is selling out in theaters
00:05:21.740 across toronto he can't understand that a movie he has never heard about is smashing every other movie
00:05:28.180 in the theaters oh and because of that it must be a dog whistle for xenophobic pro-trump pro-life types
00:05:36.480 a movie that exposes child trafficking rings around the world you know it can't possibly be because
00:05:42.020 actually audience members are begging for some genuine storytelling they're begging for a movie that
00:05:47.360 actually appeals to them that's not some woke remake of an already twice recycled film from their
00:05:53.000 childhood yesterday i clipped those comments from this cbc pop culture critic and put them up on twitter
00:05:58.680 canadians weren't surprised because don't forget the cbc is the exact same organization that routinely
00:06:04.700 defends drag shows for kids that even has gone so far as to attack true north for exposing drag shows
00:06:12.380 for kids on publicly funded libraries they also have no problem attacking parents who take issue
00:06:18.040 with gender ideology being forced onto children in grades as young as four so is it that surprising
00:06:24.140 that this is the same company now attacking a movie like sound of freedom that pop culture critic
00:06:29.440 found my tweet and proudly said that yes he did say these comments he was proud about saying this film
00:06:36.240 is a dog whistle for xenophobic pro-trump pro-life types that the only people who would have known
00:06:42.080 about this film are churchgoers are ben shapiro listeners and those evil nasty freedom convoy types
00:06:49.140 that would be you and me well he was so proud to defend his comments except for the fact that like
00:06:55.900 anyone who's very proud of their comments he turned off replies he didn't want people to actually
00:07:01.240 criticize his comments on twitter he just wanted to say that yes he is behind these comments well
00:07:06.340 sure enough i responded back to mr radhayan simon pillay and i wrote this why are your replies turned
00:07:14.420 off if you're so proud of your statements do you really think that the success of sound of freedom
00:07:18.980 is because it's a dog whistle for xenophobic pro-trump pro-life types or were you just repeating what the
00:07:24.580 cbc told you to say well sure enough mr radhayan simon pillay got ratioed for this absurd take
00:07:32.380 quite right as well the reason i bring up the question as to whether or not he was repeating
00:07:37.340 what the cbc told him to say is because this is exactly what the legacy media have been doing about
00:07:42.840 this film just take a listen at what this q anon cnn expert had to say about the film a few days ago
00:07:49.940 in terms of child trafficking we know trafficking is real we know it has real victims no one is denying
00:07:54.940 that but these films are created out of moral panics they're created out of bogus statistics
00:08:00.760 they're created out of fear and with something like sound of freedom it specifically is looking
00:08:05.740 at q anon concepts of these child trafficking rings that are run by the high level elites
00:08:11.360 and only people like tim ballard and only people like jim caviezel and by extension only people like
00:08:16.720 the ticket buyer can help bring these trafficking rings down so there's a very participatory element
00:08:22.140 you're not just going to see a movie you're just killing two hours on a hot day you are helping bring
00:08:26.880 down these these pedophile rings and save children now it's not true but it's a very comforting and it's
00:08:32.540 very warm feeling to have now this is what that bastion of journalistic integrity the guardian had to say
00:08:38.720 about sound of freedom as well take a look at this headline sound of freedom the q anon adjacent
00:08:44.100 thriller seducing america jim caviezel stars as a hero trying to stop child traffickers in a paranoid
00:08:50.960 new movie turning into a surprise box office hit yes it has to be described as a paranoid new movie
00:08:58.520 because of course that couldn't possibly be happening it must be those paranoid q anon people that are
00:09:03.740 just too concerned about a non-issue the worst headline of all happens to be from the rolling stone go
00:09:09.320 figure sound of freedom is a superhero movie for dads with brain worms the q anon tinge thriller
00:09:15.780 about child trafficking is designed to appeal to the conscience of a conspiracy addled boomer
00:09:20.820 despite rolling stone getting absolutely destroyed for that absurd take again not criticizing the film
00:09:26.900 but criticizing the attendees and criticizing the lead actor rolling stone just couldn't help
00:09:32.040 themselves they followed up with an article yesterday saying this why anti-trafficking experts
00:09:37.440 are torching sound of freedom the new movie offers a false perception of child trafficking that experts
00:09:44.220 worry could further harm the real victims oh that's right a movie that exposes child trafficking could
00:09:51.440 potentially harm actual victims experts say not like of course torching the only film that exposes child
00:09:58.620 trafficking that of course wouldn't harm the real victims i'm sure that if rolling stone and their
00:10:03.500 experts had their way this movie would just not be made i'm sure that would do much less harm to the
00:10:09.700 real victims than making this movie that is actually a box office success the washington post were one of
00:10:15.240 the first to get on the bandwagon of trashing sound of freedom to try and stop you from seeing this
00:10:20.460 film we all know none of it's working but take a look at what they wrote right after this film was
00:10:25.560 smashing box office numbers take a look at this sound of freedom the low budget film about child
00:10:31.440 sex trafficking almost topped the box office on july 4th but its star jim caviezel has linked it to
00:10:38.660 the q anon movement oh the dangerous q anon movement this is the way legacy media journalists
00:10:43.500 work none of them are original frankly none of them are that smart that's why they basically rewrite the
00:10:48.100 same article and publish it under a different byline every single time what they're trying to do is tell
00:10:53.200 you that this movie is a q anon themed movie pushed by q anon types they're also trying to tell you
00:10:58.400 that this movie falsely portrays the reality of child trafficking that in fact child trafficking is
00:11:03.900 not as big of a deal as it is and people aren't behind this effort as though we're all stupid and
00:11:09.740 aren't aware of for example the jeffrey epstein island oh was that fiction rolling stone was that
00:11:14.820 fiction or q anon cbc let me know because quite frankly it appears as though despite you guys not
00:11:21.020 talking about it everybody else seems to be well aware of this issue this is how it works if a film
00:11:27.140 happens to have broad success and broad appeal to a majority of americans and canadians and if the
00:11:32.200 film is beating out disney successes like indiana jones and also ben shapiro and jordan peterson
00:11:38.480 happen to support it well the film must be bad it doesn't matter what the film is about it doesn't matter
00:11:43.340 how just the cause of the film is if a new film is about how great multiculturalism is and how great
00:11:49.820 mass immigration is and it happens to be supported by jordan peterson i guarantee you that the cbc would
00:11:56.220 find a way to criticize it they would tell you that oh it's actually one of those evil nasty far right
00:12:02.320 movies that's how these people work it doesn't matter what the film is they are willing to trash
00:12:07.440 their own reputations just to try and trash a very strong very positive film about a real serious
00:12:14.480 problem and make no mistake about it this is a real problem child trafficking despite none of these
00:12:21.520 outlets actually talking about it is a significant problem maybe that's why they're also trying not to
00:12:26.400 watch the movie because it exposes their failure to tell a real story human trafficking is a 150
00:12:33.600 billion dollar a year industry take that in 150 billion dollars a year for human trafficking the united
00:12:41.200 states is also one of the top destinations in the world for human trafficking and for child trafficking
00:12:48.320 and there are more humans in slavery today than at any time in human history including at the peak
00:12:54.160 of the transatlantic slave trade millions of these slaves are children the same people that try to trash
00:13:00.080 sound of freedom to try and stop you from watching this film are not only the same people that have
00:13:04.400 neglected to tell the story of child trafficking but are also the same people that have normalized
00:13:10.080 films like cuties from netflix take a look at this cbc article trying to make excuses for why a film
00:13:17.440 like cuties should be on the air despite this french netflix film showing pre-teen girls dress
00:13:25.120 provocatively twerking the cbc interviewed the director and encouraged audience members to watch the
00:13:32.640 film without judging it like i said before there couldn't be a better sign of approval for you to go
00:13:38.240 see this film than the cbc telling you not to go see it i couldn't recommend this film enough and at
00:13:44.640 the heart of it the message of the film is simple it's one that we should all be able to rally behind
00:13:49.520 that god's children are not for sale all right ratio of the week time the winner this week is global
00:13:56.240 national news you have to check out this ratio the size of it is is truly special take a look at this
00:14:02.080 3 160 replies to only 518 likes at the time of this recording well take a look at what the tweet is
00:14:09.680 about what message does danielle smith's straight pride photo send to albertans as if anyone actually
00:14:16.400 cares about a man who's almost certainly an opposition plant wearing a green straight pride shirt taking a
00:14:24.080 photo with danielle smith brian garrettson writes this none you are telling people how they should
00:14:29.840 be feeling the media is sending the message harmon writes this it's fine to be straight just like last
00:14:36.400 month people celebrated pride why can't anyone celebrate being straight oh yeah and as cat right
00:14:42.080 here points out as well remember when trudeau signed this flag and nobody talked about it why didn't
00:14:48.320 global news write an article about what kind of message trudeau signing this flag sends to canadians
00:14:54.320 it seems as though it's just another opportunity for them to attack danielle smith and despite the
00:14:58.720 legacy media not trying to find out who the person wearing the shirt was danielle smith and pierre
00:15:04.240 pauliev and like every other mainstream conservative capitulated and apologized so that they stand up for
00:15:10.800 the 2s lgbt community here's a tip guys they're never going to stop trying to attack you for this so
00:15:17.680 stop trying to appease them stand up and just refuse to answer their ridiculous questions all right
00:15:24.560 everyone that's going to do it for us this week on the show remind or let me know in the comments your
