00:02:28.000We'll get to the biggest story concerning that in one moment.

00:04:26.000The entire book It is logically incoherent and it happens to be also particularly ugly because the basic idea is that if you are white then you are inherently sinful and there's no way to escape that sin except for doing the things that Robin D'Angelo wants you to do politically speaking.
00:04:45.000So there's a scene in the film where Matt somehow and his producers got Robin D'Angelo to sit down with Matt and the premise of Am I Racist is that Matt is effectively a very woke DEI guy.
00:04:58.000And he falls into the philosophy of D.E.
00:05:00.000Idem and chases it all the way down the rabbit hole.
00:05:03.000So he actually inhabits that character.
00:05:04.000It's kind of like a Nathan Fielder movie.
00:05:07.000inhabits that idea and becomes the DEI guy as he follows it all the way down the rabbit hole.
00:05:13.000So in this particular scene, I don't want to give it away because it's one of the best scenes in the film, he's sitting with Robin DiAngelo, and let's just say that he manipulates her into doing something so insane on camera that it should be career-ending.
00:05:26.000And she knows it, which is presumably why she has now basically deactivated her Twitter account.
00:05:32.000Now, Robin DiAngelo has released a statement Slamming Matt Walsh.
00:05:36.000She vowed in a statement not to watch the film.
00:05:38.000Here's what she said, quote, back in 2023, I was contacted by a group who claimed to be making
00:05:42.000a documentary film called Shades of Justice about efforts to address racism in the United States.
00:05:47.000They plan to interview anti-racist activists, authors, and thought leaders in service of supporting
00:05:52.000They offered me between 10 and $20,000 for an interview.
00:05:55.000I said, let's meet in the middle with $15,000 and agreed to participate.
00:05:58.000I've since donated that sum to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
00:06:01.000Well, I'm sure that she donated that sum after she found out that she was in the film and realized, oh boy, this is going to be bad.
00:06:07.000So first of all, Kind of weird that she only agreed to be in the film for $15,000.
00:06:12.000Except for the fact that, as Matt's movie exposes, this whole thing is a giant grift.
00:06:17.000Robin DiAngelo has been picking up checks from some of the biggest corporations in America for years to go there and teach absolute horse crap to people.
00:06:26.000And in exchange, she receives the money and the credibility, and then she takes those credentials, hey, I taught at Google, and she moves on to Apple, and then she goes and picks up a big sack of cash from Apple.
00:06:35.000So, she took $15,000 to sit down for the documentary Shades of Justice, an anti-racist documentary.
00:06:43.000When I arrived for the interview, says Robin DiAngelo, a few things felt off.
00:06:45.000The grips would not make eye contact with me.
00:06:47.000The interviewer, who's introduced as Matt, appeared to be wearing an ill-fitting wig.
00:06:52.000So, number one, I like that she puts Matt in quotation marks.
00:07:38.000The dollar is in trouble because basically we are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
00:07:41.000Either we lower the interest rates in order to jack up the economy and thus increase inflation, or we maintain the high interest rates and jack up our own interest payments on our current national debt, which means that later we're going to have to actually inflate the currency.
00:07:55.000But there is a hope a surge in prices can still be beaten.
00:07:58.000A gold IRA from Birch Gold Group is the ultimate inflation hedge for your savings in uncertain times.
00:08:03.000To see how to protect your IRA or 401k, get your free info kit on gold.
00:08:33.000Make your purchase before September 30th.
00:08:35.000Again, text Ben to 989898 to get started today with my friends over at Birch Gold.
00:08:39.000Matt asked what I thought, says Robin DiAngelo, about reparations for Black Americans.
00:08:43.000I said I agreed with reparations, but that it was not my area of expertise.
00:08:46.000He then pulled up a chair and invited a Black crew member, who went by Ben, to sit with us, took out his wallet, and handed Ben some cash.
00:08:52.000He said that if I believed in reparations, I should also give Ben cash.
00:08:55.000While some black people have asked white people to engage in reparations by giving directly to individuals, reparations are generally understood as a systemic approach to past and current injustice.
00:09:03.000The way Matt set this up felt intended to put Ben and I on the spot.
00:09:07.000Well, there's a problem with this particular statement.
00:09:09.000Ben happens to be a producer on the film.
00:09:13.000So, it didn't put Ben and you on the spot, it put you on the spot because you're a hypocrite.
00:09:18.000Because Matt was pushing this on us, I expressed my discomfort and checked in with Ben to make sure he was okay with receiving cash in this way.
00:09:24.000Ben reassured me that he was, so I went into my wallet and handed him my cash and the interview ended.
00:09:28.000I was so unsettled by the way Matt manipulated this last scene, I emailed the contact person, who went by the name of Lee Hampton, to explain that this scene was not an example of reparations and could mislead viewers.
00:09:36.000I asked they not use it in the film and shared several resources overviewing legitimate systemic efforts for reparations.
00:09:41.000He assured me, says Robin DiAngelo, that he understood, and that they had not yet decided whether to address reparations.
00:09:46.000He never again contacted me or answered an email.
00:09:49.000After reviewing the sequence of events and discussing it with colleagues, I realized they had lied about their agenda, and I had been played.
00:10:23.000Their deception was carefully planned and well-funded.
00:10:26.000The website they sent me was fake, as were their identities, the project title used in the legal waiver, the description of the project, and the last name they gave for Matt.
00:10:32.000The interviewer was, in fact, Matt Walsh, a far-right provocateur backed by Shapiro and Delaware Plus, and yes, wearing a wig.
00:10:39.000The co-CEO of The Daily Wire, says Robin DiAngelo, has stated, quote, I can't think of a more appropriate film for The Daily Wire's first original theatrical release than Am I Racist?
00:10:46.000What Has a Woman Changed in the National Conversation on Radical Gender Theory, effectively killing the issue, and DEI is the next pillar of the woke mind virus that's about to topple.
00:10:54.000DEI culture is one of the most toxic plagues in American life.
00:10:57.000Am I racist, says Robin DiAngelo, is not only about me, and I was not the only one who fell for their deception.
00:11:01.000Sadly, many of those being mocked are women.
00:11:37.000And what is his and his backer's agenda?
00:11:39.000Luckily, he has answered that question, without shame, time and again.
00:11:42.000Then she quotes the Southern Poverty Law Center.
00:11:45.000Says, Shapiro and Walsh's previous film, Lady Ballers, is filled with misogyny, racism, and transphobia.
00:11:50.000Shapiro also sponsored a film denigrating George Floyd.
00:11:54.000Wait, you mean that we said that maybe George Floyd wasn't killed by Derek Chauvin, that maybe he died of a drug overdose that was induced by high stress?
00:12:05.000Wait, you mean like the medical evidence?
00:12:07.000Or maybe we pointed out that George Floyd, in fact, led a pretty checkered criminal life?
00:12:14.000This experience, says Robyn D'Angelo, has reinforced for me how critically important it is to do in-depth background research before making yourself vulnerable to people you don't know or believing in sharing what you see online.
00:12:23.000They will not prevail in their efforts to stop the work for racial justice.
00:12:26.000Well, it seems like we prevailed a little since you deactivated your Twitter account.
00:12:47.000My favorite part of this wonderful statement is that she says she noticed my ill-fitting wig when we first sat down with me, and yet, for some reason, she still did the interview.
00:13:11.000Notice how they make no such criticisms about Borat.
00:13:14.000The difference is that Borat was meant to embarrass normal working class Americans.
00:13:17.000Our film embarrasses DEI grifters, academics, and upper class liberals.
00:13:21.000Even Nathan Fielder, who I think is hilarious and brilliant, usually uses these kinds of methods to humiliate average people who haven't done anything to deserve the humiliation.
00:13:50.000In fact, if you go to the Rotten Tomatoes page, brought to you by Fandango, they have a sort of scrolling wheel here that says new and now in theaters.
00:14:01.000And it lists literally every movie except for Matt's movie.
00:15:55.000Okay, there is only one problem with this particular narrative, which is that the polls basically, so far, are the same as they were before this particular debate.
00:16:04.000So before the debate, Kamala Harris was leading by about a point and a half in the RealClearPolitics polling average, and today she's leading by about one and a half in the RealClearPolitics polling average.
00:16:13.000In fact, the last two polls that have come out, that at least are taken partially after the debate, are the Reuters-Ipsos poll that shows Harris up 5, and the Morning Consult poll that shows Harris up 5.
00:16:22.000There's only one problem with that, which is that if you go back a little bit further, what you see is that the last Morning Consult poll, Harris was up 3 or 4, and in the last Reuters-Ipsos poll, Harris was up four.
00:16:36.000So in other words, there's been like a slight uptick for Harris, but nothing like this kind of blowout.
00:16:45.000In fact, according to CNN's Harry Enten, she actually is still underperforming with younger voters even after the debate, which is kind of shocking.
00:16:52.000So this is the Democrat versus Trump margin among voters age 18 to 29 or under the age of 30.
00:16:57.000You go back four years ago at this point.
00:16:59.000Look, Joe Biden had a 28-point advantage.
00:17:02.000A 28-point advantage over Donald Trump.
00:17:04.000Now, you look when Joe Biden dropped out of the race, he was up by just seven points.
00:17:08.000Now, Kamala Harris has improved on Joe Biden's standing, but look at this.
00:17:27.000People widely perceive that Kamala Harris won the debate, but it didn't change anybody's opinion.
00:17:30.000This is what I was saying yesterday on the show, is that she established that she doesn't always have to be incoherent if she kind of knows what's coming and if she's never thrown off her game by either the moderators or by her opponent.
00:17:41.000However, nobody has actually changed their opinion about Kamala Harris as a candidate.
00:17:46.000Everybody already knows what they think of Trump.
00:17:48.000But that means that this thing is going to come down to extremely slim margins in all of the swing states, as I said yesterday.
00:17:53.000In fact, the Wall Street Journal interviewed a bunch of undecided voters about who won the Trump-Harris debate.
00:17:59.000And what they basically found is that the debate did not shake their previously held motions about Trump and Harris and where they stand on the issues like the economy, immigration, or conflict overseas.
00:18:09.000So for example, Sabrina Champ, age 47, who lives in Arizona.
00:18:35.000She said that while she believes that Harris won the debate, she says that she's found herself more drawn to Republicans this election cycle and thinks Trump would be stronger than Harris on some of her priorities, including the need to show strong support for Israel.
00:18:49.000She said that she didn't know what to do when Trump started talking about eating dogs, but it didn't change her fundamental opinion of how exactly this is going to work.
00:19:11.000Again, I think that the basic idea here is that if Kamala Harris wishes to win this race, at some point, she's gonna actually have to draw a distinction between herself and Joe Biden, which is something that she is pretty clearly not willing to do.
00:19:23.000The big distinction between her and Joe Biden is that she is not personally an old 80-year-old white man.
00:20:16.000But nobody should be unclear of the fact that she is our own person.
00:20:19.000That is the point that she was trying to make to Donald Trump.
00:20:24.000Okay, well, she can say she's her own person, but what about her makes her her own person if she is just a fresh coat of paint on the crappy old jalopy the Democrats have been trotting out for several election cycles at this point, pretending it's a brand new Lamborghini?
00:21:06.000She is a consensual, uh, consensual, uh, American.
00:21:13.000Meanwhile, Kamala Harris on the campaign trail, she has nothing to say about policy at all.
00:21:20.000She just keeps sounding exactly like Kodos from The Simpsons when Kodos takes over a body in Treehouse of Horror and decides to run for president.
00:22:46.000But that's what it is, it's weirdness and vibes and beta male energy.
00:22:49.000And also, of course, shouting that Donald Trump supporters are the scum of the earth.
00:22:53.000MSNBC's Joy Reid, yesterday, she had on Eli Mistal, who, of course, despises Republicans.
00:22:59.000And they both suggested that the problem in America is not just Trump, of course, who is the fond head of all evil, it is all of his supporters who are similarly evil.
00:23:27.000It's all about him, him, him, me, me, me.
00:23:29.000He's probably the least compassionate president we've had in 200 years since Andrew Jackson.
00:23:34.000And it works for him because his supporters are just as ungenerous and have just as little compassion and empathy for others.
00:23:42.000So when he is seen out there, essentially, as you guys have put it, desecrating our national symbols, when he is seen out there putting himself above all else, his supporters also want that to be the case.
00:23:55.000They want to do that in their own lives.
00:24:13.000Folks, this election is enough to make you lose sleep, but you can't afford to lose sleep, which is why you need your Helix Sleep Mattress.
00:25:23.000So, it's a vibes election for Kamala Harris.
00:25:25.000The problem, of course, is that Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are tied at the hip and their policies continue to suck, on like every possible level.
00:25:32.000So, for example, Afghanistan, complete disaster.
00:25:35.000One of the great frustrations of watching the debate earlier this week was watching as Donald Trump failed to take advantage of opportunities provided for him on a silver platter.
00:25:42.000Kamala Harris literally said in that debate she had no regerts, no regerts whatsoever with regard to Afghanistan, none.
00:25:48.000That is the biggest opening in world history.
00:25:51.000Donald Trump should have charged through that thing like an angry bull.
00:25:55.000He should have said, listen, Vice President, you said you have no regrets?
00:26:10.000You're super, super compassionate, super empathetic.
00:26:12.000You care so much about girls and women all over the world.
00:26:15.000You were perfectly willing to let 19 million women get stuffed into burqas in the basement, forcibly married to men 20 years their elder, and kept away from every aspect of education and beaten if they don't comply.
00:26:26.000You were perfectly willing to do that for your own glorification.
00:26:29.000Don't lecture me about empathy and compassion.
00:26:48.000It's the most humiliating moment in American foreign policy of my lifetime, by far.
00:26:53.000We can safely say that it's gone 360 back to Taliban 1.0.
00:26:58.000I mean, that is a catastrophe, in fact.
00:27:01.000Extremely bad, and a catastrophe not least for the people of Afghanistan, in particular women.
00:27:07.000And I met many women, members of parliament, journalists who begged us to stay.
00:27:14.000And for many years I promised that we will stay.
00:27:17.000We were going to leave on a conditions-based approach.
00:27:21.000So we were only going to leave when we had the confidence that the African government was able to take over and secure the country.
00:27:30.000Meanwhile, Kamala Harris continues to lie about the economic program of President Trump.
00:27:35.000She said again in her rally yesterday that Goldman Sachs had analyzed their various plans and come up with the idea that her plan would make the economy boom and his economy would crater.
00:27:42.000Well, Goldman Sachs' CEO last night was like, no, that's not true.
00:27:54.000I think a lot more has been made of this than should be.
00:27:57.000What the report did is it looked at a handful of policy issues that have been put out by both sides.
00:28:05.000And it tried to model their impact on GDP growth.
00:28:09.000The reason I say a bigger deal's been made of it is what it showed is the difference between the sets of policies that they put forward was about two-tenths of one percent.
00:28:17.000I think our clients are trying to look at what's going on from a policy perspective and make judgments.
00:28:21.000I think this blew up into something that's bigger than what it was intended to be.
00:28:25.000So in other words, she was lying about all of that.
00:29:24.000I don't know of a single homeless Haitian in this town because they all got vouchers.
00:29:29.000But I can show you a whole bunch of people that have been displaced because I'm that guy.
00:29:33.000Rob, you know for 25 years I've worked with the homeless in this community.
00:29:38.000These are all major problems that Kamala Harris is ignoring.
00:29:41.000And while some people are talking about eating the cats and the dogs, I think that what we should be talking about is how you get the world's best meat.
00:30:54.000It is, again, these are all major problems, and Kamala Harris is ignoring all of them in favor of jabber about vibes and compassion and the future.
00:31:03.000Now, there are very serious economic problems on the way, and Kamala Harris is a deeply unserious person.
00:31:07.000So, for example, we just found out yesterday that interest payments on the national debt have topped $1 trillion this year.
00:32:15.000And then it started to climb in the 60s, fairly consistently until you hit The late 1970s, the mid to late 1970s, and then the trajectory started to climb even more and it set on this new very, very steep trajectory going from approximately $50 billion all the way up to continuously about $350 billion in about a little before the year 2000.
00:32:40.000Then the interest payments on the debt started to come down.
00:32:44.000From that late 90s period through the mid 2000s they started to climb again fairly precipitously until you hit the 2008 crash and then kind of bounced around a little bit and then and then the 2020 pandemic and its aftermath and they just went line that goes straight up.
00:33:01.000And that is Joe Biden's inflationary policy.
00:33:04.000Because we took out more money to spend, which means we have to pay more money back, and we took it out at exorbitant interest rates because we had to increase the interest rates in order to jack down the inflation.
00:33:14.000And so what you end up with is a jump from approximately $587 billion in servicing the interest on the national debt in the year 2019 to $1 trillion today.
00:33:55.000And when Kamala Harris says she's going to solve that by continuing to spend on massive social programs, What she really means is that she's not gonna solve it at all.
00:34:04.000If she believes she's gonna solve our nation's economic and fiscal problems by taxing rich people, she's out of her mind.
00:34:11.000There are only two things that can happen here in order to solve this problem.
00:34:14.000One is massive economic growth, and the other is reduction in spending, and they have to be combined.
00:34:19.000The reality is the three biggest items, notice the military budget is not one of these, the three biggest items that are driving America's national debt and the interest on the national debt Our payments on the interest, on our national debt, Medicare and Social Security.
00:34:56.000The real driver, the elephant in the room, is means-tested social welfare spending.
00:35:01.000Medicaid, food stamps, refundable tax credits, supplemental Social Security income, temporary assistance for needy families, federal housing subsidies, and almost 100 other programs whose eligibility is limited to those below an income threshold.
00:35:12.000True, Social Security and Medicare are a drain on general revenue and will become big fiscal problems if not reformed, but they aren't the major source of our current fiscal crisis, because both are financed in large part by dedicated payroll taxes.
00:35:24.000Since its inception, Social Security has produced cash surpluses 60% of the time.
00:35:28.000In 2023, Social Security payroll taxes funded about 89% of benefits.
00:35:33.000Means-tested welfare programs, however, totaled $1.6 trillion in 2023.
00:35:39.000Welfare spending now absorbs an astonishing 73% of unobligated general revenue.
00:35:45.000That is total revenue, net Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes, which are earmarked for those purposes, as well as interest on the public debt.
00:35:53.000It is larger than the claims against unobligated general revenue by Social Security, Medicare, and defense combined.
00:36:00.000So, these gigantic welfare payments that Kamala Harris wishes to structure will only exacerbate this problem by leaps and bounds.
00:36:08.000So you can see a world where we restructure Social Security or Medicare.
00:36:13.000You can see a world where we outgrow, even, some of our problems, but you're not going to outgrow the problem of continuing to stack debt on top of debt on top of debt, all in order to pay off particular political constituencies, which is exactly what Kamala Harris wants to do.
00:36:26.000She is promising free money, and then more free money, and then after that, even more free money.
00:36:33.000So, if you want to know whether the American economy is going to stagnate, the answer under Kamala Harris is absolutely yes.
00:36:40.000She's going to regulate the hell out of business, she's going to tax it if it ain't dead, and then she's going to spend every dollar she can find on paying off particular political constituencies in the name of equity.
00:36:51.000Those are the things she is going to do.
00:36:53.000Pretending that she is a fiscally responsible actor is absurd.
00:36:56.000Now, both parties are fiscally irresponsible, but one is a lot more fiscally irresponsible than the other when it comes to spending on programs that never sunset and only grow.
00:37:07.000The Democratic Party has set in place every major social welfare payment in the United States.
00:37:14.000That's nothing to celebrate when you're talking about a $35 trillion national debt growing by leaps and bounds every single year.
00:37:20.000And it'll only get worse under Kamala Harris.
00:37:23.000If you imagine that the economy is a horse, and that horse is capable of carrying a certain amount of welfare burden, we have now stacked an elephant's worth of welfare burden on top of the horse.
00:37:36.000In just one second, we'll get to President Trump, who is attempting to fight back in the campaign.
00:37:42.000First, as we spoke about earlier, today is The Daily Wire's first ever theatrical release, Am I Racist?
00:37:48.000It's now playing in over 1,500 theaters across the nation.
00:37:51.000That's correct, 1,500 theaters coast to coast.
00:37:53.000So, there's probably a theater near you showing it.
00:37:54.000That a man has been nothing short of shocking to the movie industry.
00:37:57.000Theaters were selling out during presale, something that barely ever happens.
00:38:00.000With your help, we're proving Hollywood wrong, taking on the left and their weird agenda with the most outrageous comedy to hit the big screen since Borat.
00:38:06.000It's important, the only way to see Am I Racist is in theaters starting today.
00:38:10.000Also this Sunday we'll be releasing a brand new episode of the Sunday Special with historian Neil Ferguson.
00:38:13.000or zip code, grab your tickets and showtimes right now.
00:38:16.000Let's make this opening weekend impossible to ignore.
00:38:18.000Get your tickets, fill the seats, help us dominate the box office this weekend.
00:38:22.000Also this Sunday, we'll be releasing a brand new episode of the Sunday special with historian Neil Ferguson.
00:38:27.000Neil, of course, is there to comment on the big interview that Tucker Carlson did with a person named Darrell Cooper
00:38:33.000with regard to the origins of World War II in which Cooper suggested that the big villain
00:38:55.000But it's a fact that Britain has become a multi-ethnic and multi-racial society as the United States is today, and London is a cosmopolitan city the way New York is.
00:39:09.000If your response to these cities is, I wish Hitler had won World War II, then it seems to me you really don't have a place in a serious discourse about these issues.
00:39:19.000you've exposed yourself as somebody who would like to be aligned with the genocidal killers
00:39:53.000He is, of course, a film producer and director.
00:39:56.000After working in Hollywood on films like The Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions and The Incredible Hulk, Justin shifted his creative efforts to create films with a cultural impact.
00:40:04.000He produced and directed the smash hit film What Is A Woman?
00:40:51.000We didn't want to make a sequel, per se.
00:40:54.000So we knew we had to kind of go bigger than the last film.
00:40:58.000And so we decided, hey, how do we do this?
00:41:00.000How do we go bigger and not make just a What Is A Woman part two this time on race?
00:41:06.000So we really kind of got a bunch of minds in a room and came up with a lot of ideas, some good, some bad, and came out the other side with this idea to take Matt on this journey and sort of do a, you know, if What Is A Woman kind of does a zig, this one does a zag, you know?
00:41:22.000Matt learns about the issue, ultimately goes and kind of fights against it, stands up against it.
00:41:42.000I mean, he's obviously, as Jeremy Boring puts it, sociopathic.
00:41:46.000I mean, you watch him in this film, and it's so hard to watch the interaction between him and some of these anti-racist educators and figures who are being paid thousands of dollars to be there.
00:41:58.000And Matt just keeps, like, digging deeper and deeper with them.
00:42:01.000And every time you think that he's reached the center of the onion, there's more layers of him just making it awkward.
00:42:27.000You know, the scene with Robin DiAngelo is just a masterful example of Matt really knowing where he wants to take it and then finding the path to get there.
00:42:36.000And so he's a unique talent, obviously, to be not just a guy who knows about these ideas, but to drop him in a situation like that, that's high pressure and there's no second takes, and for him to just sort of navigate around and just sort of Kind of lead that person around like they're on a leash.
00:44:37.000We just show them for what they truly are, what they truly believe.
00:44:41.000And we let the chips, you know, basically fall from there for Americans to decide.
00:44:44.000I mean, one of the things that's really striking, there's a scene that happens in the film where Matt actually just goes and talks to kind of normal Americans.
00:44:51.000He goes to a bar, and he goes to an auto shop, and he just talks with normal Americans.
00:44:56.000And the difference between kind of the normal American, who just has a baseline understanding of biblical values, like be kind to your neighbor and treat your neighbor how you would want to be treated, and the pseudo-intellectual nonsense, the jargon that's just spewed by these people, It's beautifully juxtaposed.
00:45:11.000I mean, you really see in true color kind of the difference between people who are good and people who manipulate for money and for power and for grift.
00:45:20.000Yeah, and you know, this isn't just a funny movie.
00:45:22.000It's a very, it's a funny movie about a very serious topic.
00:45:25.000And so it was very important to have that contrast.
00:45:28.000It was important to have those regular everyday people that live their lives and aren't part of this Crazy, crazy division that's taking place.
00:45:36.000In fact, it's actually the heart and soul of the movie.
00:45:39.000When people watch the movie, they look at the scene.
00:45:40.000We interviewed a guy named Milton down in New Orleans, and he is the heart and soul of the film.
00:45:46.000He's just a guy that's had a good go here in America.
00:46:04.000And we noticed, of course, that whether they were black, whether they were white, they basically had the same exact message when Matt talked to them, these regular, everyday people.
00:46:13.000And then when we hold that in contrast to these so-called experts, these people that are pushing this stuff, it really is astounding, you know, the chasm that's there.
00:46:24.000So when you were filming it, what was the scene where you finished filming the scene and you and Matt just sort of like high-fived each other?
00:47:23.000And although a funny scene, it actually kind of points to a very fundamental, kind of a deep, deep problem in our society that we've gotten this far, that people would be in a situation like that and want to pile on.
00:47:37.000It just shows you what this all leads to.
00:47:40.000So, obviously, these films are a huge process.
00:48:39.000One's a permanent piece of culture, and one is day-to-day.
00:48:41.000And so for us to kind of break into that sphere is very important.
00:48:47.000And to get our message delivered to just regular everyday Americans that may be a little bit tuned out on the issues, but to drop this piece of culture in their laps and get them to think about these things is so important.
00:48:59.000And for us to be the ones that entertain and make people laugh.
00:49:03.000So important for us as conservatives to be able to do that.
00:49:20.000And we just are betting, we are absolutely betting on the fact that people will go out and support this thing.
00:49:25.000That they've been waiting a long time, that Hollywood has been shoveling up the drivel for so long, and now here's an opportunity to say, no, this is the type of thing that I want to support at the box office.
00:49:36.000So I think it's not just an opportunity for us as storytellers, it's an opportunity for America to go out and be like, this is the kind of thing that I want to see more of.
00:49:44.000Well, Justin, it's an amazing piece of work.
00:49:46.000Honestly, like, amazing job by you, amazing job by Matt, and folks, you really should go see it in the theaters.
