00:02:59.000 Thanks, Charlie.

00:03:00.000 You guys are doing amazing work.

00:03:02.000 Jeff, I'll start with you.

00:03:03.000 Kind of give us an update and talk about the new film coming out, which is all about Sound of Hope, about the foster care system, this incredible story.

00:03:13.000 So tell us about it.

00:03:14.000 Yeah, it's called Sound of Hope, the story of Possum Trot.

00:03:16.000 And it's the story of these 22 families in Texas that adopted 77 children out of the foster care system.

00:03:24.000 And this story went so huge.

00:03:26.000 It was on Oprah.

00:03:27.000 It was all over the press everywhere.

00:03:30.000 And the filmmakers went and lived with that community for years to understand this story.

00:03:37.000 And when my wife and I watched it for the first time months ago, we watched it.

00:03:43.000 We came away and we were just waiting foster kids.

00:03:47.000 They adopted everybody.

00:03:48.000 So you guys have a lot of kids, right?

00:03:49.000 Yes.

00:03:50.000 We know how Dawn is.

00:03:51.000 That's daunting.

00:03:51.000 I have six kids.

00:03:52.000 And we're at number six in July.

00:03:54.000 Wow.

00:03:55.000 And they're all 12 between both of you guys.

00:03:55.000 Yeah.

00:03:58.000 Yeah.

00:03:59.000 They're all under what?

00:04:00.000 12.

00:04:01.000 Yeah.

00:04:02.000 But you're feeling it.

00:04:02.000 Wow.

00:04:03.000 Same speech.

00:04:06.000 You joined the 202 club.

00:04:08.000 That's something, though, right?

00:04:10.000 Yeah, I don't know if it gets easier, but you get like a special stamp on your hand.

00:04:15.000 My mom used to tell me that after number four, you know, you just start spilling the soup.

00:04:20.000 Just add more soup, water to the soup.

00:04:22.000 Yeah.

00:04:24.000 Just thin it down a little bit.

00:04:26.000 Two kids under two is as hard as it gets.

00:04:28.000 Honestly.

00:04:29.000 So 202 is as hard as it gets.

00:04:30.000 It's very difficult.

00:04:31.000 It doesn't really get any harder.

00:04:32.000 It's just different at that point.

00:04:34.000 Oh, that's actually comforting.

00:04:35.000 Yeah.

00:04:37.000 There is a big transition when you go to three because you move from man-on-man to zoom in.

00:04:43.000 So I wasn't sure if it's like really hard or if I'm just like super unequipped.

00:04:47.000 It's always a good thing.

00:04:47.000 Oh, no.

00:04:48.000 And the answer is both.

00:04:50.000 The answer is both.

00:04:51.000 But it doesn't get harder than 202.

00:04:53.000 Okay, good.

00:04:54.000 Yeah.

00:04:55.000 Anyway, so 72?

00:04:58.000 Yeah, 77 kids.

00:04:59.000 77.

00:05:00.000 I'm sorry.

00:05:00.000 What was crazy when we saw this film?

00:05:04.000 It's a very moving film, but we started realizing that some of the data behind the foster system is very, very disturbing.

00:05:12.000 Yeah.

00:05:13.000 But you were saying you and Nanny Ellie watched it.

00:05:16.000 Well, and when we watched it, we walked away and we're like, we have six kids under 12, but we were like, are we going to adopt?

00:05:23.000 This movie is so powerful.

00:05:25.000 And it's so, I mean, again, I watched part of it.

00:05:28.000 I didn't get a chance to watch all of it with the new baby, but it's beautifully shot.

00:05:31.000 Yeah.

00:05:32.000 And it's very, very moving.

00:05:33.000 It's also kind of talking a little bit about this idea of the abortion issue being part of, you know, the zeitgeist, right?

00:05:40.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:05:41.000 It ties, like all of this ties together.

00:05:43.000 One, the abortion issue ties into this because it's adoption.

00:05:47.000 It's a, you know, that's a, like, we need to adopt.

00:05:49.000 There's 100,000 children in the United States that don't have homes.

00:05:54.000 They're in the foster care system.

00:05:55.000 They're in the foster care system.

00:05:56.000 And there are 400,000 churches.

00:06:00.000 This one little church of 22 families adopted 77.

00:06:04.000 We only need one in four churches to adopt one kid and the whole problem solved.

00:06:08.000 So remind me the year that this took place.

00:06:11.000 This is in the late 80s through the 90s, I believe.

00:06:14.000 So they've all gotten older now.

00:06:15.000 And you kind of see.

00:06:17.000 At the end of the movie, you see kind of where they're at.

00:06:20.000 So it's a beautiful story.

00:06:21.000 Because the movie's a, it's not a documentary.

00:06:23.000 It's a, it's a beautiful dramatic story.

00:06:25.000 But the, here's some other stats.

00:06:29.000 90% of children who have been sex trafficked have come through the U.S. foster U.S. child health services.

00:06:38.000 Child protective services.

00:06:39.000 90% of the people.

00:06:39.000 Sorry.

00:06:41.000 So if you solve the foster system, you're solving 90% of the U.S. child sex trafficking in the United States.

00:06:47.000 That's why we feel like this is an anthology about children.

00:06:50.000 So when this happened, were the laws easier to adopt?

00:06:53.000 Or was it harder?

00:06:55.000 Because that's what always people say is that it's so hard to adopt. 0.94

00:06:57.000 And I guess I'm just a little bit ignorant on the. 0.89

00:07:00.000 So this is another crazy thing. 0.68

00:07:02.000 On average, we just talked to somebody just this morning that said on average, it costs $35,000 to $50,000 to adopt a child.

00:07:10.000 52% of families don't even have a $1,000.

00:07:14.000 Legal costs, and 52% of families do not even have enough money for $1,000 in a savings account right now.

00:07:20.000 The counter-argument, though, is actually a really good one, which is it costs so much because they don't want pedophiles to adopt kids.

00:07:26.000 Yeah, I just think it has to cost money.

00:07:28.000 No, no, I totally agree.

00:07:29.000 I'm just saying, like, that's the, whenever we try to get these laws fixed, they say you realize why we put them in the first place is because the pedophiles are not affected by the family.

00:07:37.000 So why are 90% of the kids being sex trafficked in the United States coming out of the system?

00:07:43.000 Well, that's the question.

00:07:44.000 Apparently something's not worth it.

00:07:45.000 It costs $35,000 to $50,000, but supposedly that's to stop the thing.

00:07:49.000 And then how much does it cost to abort a baby?

00:07:51.000 Yeah, and they'll pay for it.

00:07:52.000 Your employer will pay for it, right?

00:07:54.000 Yes.

00:07:55.000 So this is a real dramatic story, and we need to own adoption as Christians and as believers.

00:08:01.000 Yes.

00:08:02.000 That this is something, I mean, adoption is Christian doctrine.

00:08:05.000 We believe that we are adopted by God in the book of Romans.

00:08:08.000 Yeah, it's very clear in the New Testament.

00:08:09.000 Yes, that our being born new is adoption by other means.

00:08:14.000 The scary thing is that culturally, we're moving so far away.

00:08:18.000 Like, Christians, even though it makes up the vast majority of the United States, we're moving so far away from these basic values that Christians are being attacked on how they're parenting their kids, if they're homeschooling their kids, if they're not affirming their kids, or whatever it may be.

00:08:33.000 And so, culturally, you're almost moving into a period where it's, I believe, it's going to be more and more difficult for Christians to adopt.

00:08:41.000 Yes.

00:08:42.000 Yeah.

00:08:42.000 I mean, you're seeing it.

00:08:43.000 There's a case in Seattle right now where there's a guy who's in a fight to be able to adopt just because they don't accept his views on, I think it's on the trans issues.

00:08:54.000 Oh, so he's not.

00:08:56.000 They doesn't believe in this transzeletry.

00:08:58.000 Therefore, you can't adopt a child.

00:09:00.000 There's a huge undertone surgery of people trying to prevent that.

00:09:05.000 And these are the people that we want to adopt kids the most.

00:09:08.000 They're the ones who have families and that believe in God and are trying to distill principles of the greatest privilege of having a mother and a father.

00:09:08.000 Exactly.

00:09:17.000 Like that is the group that should be getting all the walls broken down wherever possible to make sure they're the right family and then getting them in and helping them that way.

00:09:27.000 So last year, on the 4th of July, we made the world aware of the problem of child sex trafficking.

00:09:33.000 This is an anthology.

00:09:35.000 It's about saving kids.

00:09:37.000 And if people are interested, this is a beautiful film.

00:09:44.000 And if you take the 100,000 kids in the system that need homes, there's 100,000 kids without a home.

00:09:50.000 There's 400,000 churches.

00:09:52.000 The way we do this is you go to angel.com/slash hope.

00:09:57.000 You buy a ticket early.

00:09:59.000 So there's a, June 19th is the first showing.

00:10:03.000 You can go in on June 19th and you can see this movie early, two weeks early.

00:10:08.000 And we're trying to get a whole bunch of people in to see it early because we know that when people see this movie, the word will spread.

00:10:13.000 Yes.

00:10:14.000 And then on July 3rd and July 4th, and that whole week and starting July 3rd and July 4th, we are launching the movie nationwide.

00:10:23.000 And if we can make a big enough sound with this movie, then we solve, like, if one in four churches did what this little tiny church did, the whole entire foster care problem is solved.

00:10:38.000 Why do you think churches have been, is it just kind of these are the undesirable kids?

00:10:42.000 I hate to be so cruel, but it's like, is that kind of the stigma that these are the kids of drug addicts and forgotten?

00:10:49.000 It's harder.

00:10:50.000 It's harder.

00:10:51.000 When you take kids out of a system that has just been beating on them, they're just switching from home to home to home.

00:10:59.000 The church is literally, like, I feel like the church is the only system and structure in place to be able to take this on.

00:11:07.000 The churches can actually do this.

00:11:09.000 And this is important.

00:11:10.000 We're talking about actually adopting them, not just hosting them for six months.

00:11:15.000 Finding the churches that are willing, the families in there that are willing to bring a child into their home and surround that family with support.

00:11:23.000 And resources.

00:11:24.000 Because the reality is, is we don't know who in the United States is going to be ready and have the right resources or be emotionally ready.

00:11:32.000 But let's allow the message to get out there and let the spirit come in and touch the people who need to actually help and solve this problem.

00:11:42.000 Look, is it hard for you to go to sleep?

00:11:43.000 I could tell you, I've done one thing that has changed my ability to fall asleep.

00:11:48.000 Ever since I started adding magnesium breakthrough to my nightly routine, I've been able to quiet my mind and get the best sleep ever.

00:11:54.000 Once I started taking magnesium breakthrough, my sleep completely changed.

00:11:58.000 Now I have no problem falling asleep and waking up refreshed and energized.

00:12:01.000 For me personally, magnesium breakthrough has helped solve my sleep problems.

00:12:05.000 From winding down at the end of a stressful day to tossing and turning to waking up groggy, magnesium breakthrough has been a game changer.

00:12:11.000 Unlike other magnesium supplements that might give you one or two forms of magnesium, magnesium breakthrough contains all seven forms, magnesium, designed to help calm your mind, help you fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up refreshed.

00:12:22.000 Over 75% of the population is magnesium deficient.

00:12:25.000 And what most people don't know is that they're taking a magnesium supplement, they're still deficient if you're not getting all seven forms.

00:12:31.000 Don't miss out on the most relaxing sleep ever with magnesium breakthrough.

00:12:50.000 Magbreakthrough.com.

00:12:54.000 So there's 100,000 people in the foster care system.

00:12:57.000 Is that 100,000 kids that don't have a home?

00:13:00.000 That don't have a home.

00:13:01.000 There's more kids that have temporary time in the foster care system where their parents are trying to work out alcoholism or something that they're struggling with, but they can get their kids back.

00:13:13.000 There's over 100,000 who are basically without a homeless.

00:13:17.000 They're homeless.

00:13:18.000 So the idea of adopting permanently takes them out of the foster system.

00:13:24.000 That's right.

00:13:24.000 Is that correct?

00:13:25.000 So different than just being in like a perpetual kind of, how does that work exactly in the States?

00:13:34.000 The kids get moved around constantly.

00:13:36.000 They get moved from house to house to house because of every foster parents.

00:13:42.000 And depends on, you know, I have family who have, on my wife's side of the family, that have actually gone through this experience.

00:13:48.000 And they had the desire to adopt a little girl that they were helping foster and they knew the family around them.

00:13:57.000 But it took so much time, energy, and resources that most people, even good families, would give up by then, where they just said, you know what, this is too complicated.

00:14:07.000 This is too hard.

00:14:09.000 Again, you're right that we need to create some barriers so that you're not getting the wrong people adopting kids.

00:14:15.000 That's the last thing we want.

00:14:16.000 But clearly the barriers that we have in place are not the right ones because the exact opposite behavior is happening.

00:14:22.000 And so it's, you know, being able to find a family who actually wants to say, I want to permanently bring this person into my home and adopt them as a member of my family.

00:14:31.000 That is the solution.

00:14:33.000 So this is according to Buckner, which I think is a nonprofit that deals with this.

00:14:38.000 This is not a money problem.

00:14:40.000 So 63% of why children go into the foster care system was because of neglect, meaning parents just, you know, don't care or whatever.

00:14:48.000 Then drug abuse is the second, 34%.

00:14:52.000 So the church could come in and solve this immediately.

00:14:54.000 And it's just, I guess they're too busy filling coffee bars or something.

00:14:59.000 No, they just need inspiration.

00:15:01.000 I think that they don't realize that this is so solvable.

00:15:05.000 We have a clip.

00:15:07.000 I think we brought a clip of the actual movie with some explanation around it that we'd love to play.

00:15:16.000 But this church in Possum Trot got together, 22 families, the spirit worked on them, and they came together and band together as families.

00:15:26.000 These aren't rich families.

00:15:28.000 And they adopted 77 kids.

00:15:32.000 And not just like little babies, like the teenagers and kids that have been in the foster system for a long time.

00:15:38.000 And they changed so many children's lives.

00:15:43.000 A key component of that is, to Jeff's point, is it's similar to what last year happened with child sex trafficking in that everybody knew that that was happening, but there wasn't a fire that was lit under culture and society where they said, holy smokes, this is so pervasive and they need to do something about it.

00:16:01.000 And that's the empower of entertainment.

00:16:02.000 That's why entertainment molds culture into something beautiful or into something very dark.

00:16:08.000 And so, you know, Angel's mission is to tell stories that amplify light.

00:16:11.000 And similar to how, you know, we've heard from, you know, the child sex trafficking nonprofits around the globe reaching out to us saying, we've had way more resources poured into our organizations.

00:16:23.000 We've had way more support.

00:16:24.000 Events that we used to do that we'd drag people by the teeth to get there.

00:16:28.000 They're being packed this whole entire year.

00:16:30.000 And that was because of the momentum and power of a film changing people's hearts.

00:16:35.000 And this has that same ability.

00:16:36.000 I think the resources are out there.

00:16:38.000 I think the people would be willing.

00:16:39.000 They just need to have their heart pricked.

00:16:41.000 It's angel.com.

00:16:43.000 To get your tickets to the sound of hope, go to angel.com/slash hope.

00:16:46.000 I want to play this.

00:16:46.000 It's Cut 49.

00:16:48.000 It is the trailer for the upcoming film this Independence Day weekend.

00:16:52.000 And hey, those of you in Arizona, there's not a lot to do on Independence Day because it's like 119 degrees.

00:16:57.000 So it's a great time to go see a movie.

00:17:00.000 Go play Cut 49.

00:17:04.000 We're on O Way Street, but I think she'd get some more safe up here.

00:17:07.000 I want you to have.

00:17:11.000 Are you still there?

00:17:17.000 The film is about a small community in East Texas where a small church felt called by God to start caring for vulnerable children.

00:17:25.000 Just ordinary people looking outside of themselves, seeing the need of mankind and meeting the need.

00:17:33.000 We want the ones that don't nobody else want.

00:17:38.000 And they ended up adopting 77 of some of the most difficult-to-place children in the Texas child welfare system.

00:17:45.000 22 families want to adopt.

00:17:49.000 The whole town.

00:17:50.000 The whole town wants kids now.

00:17:52.000 That's about right.

00:17:53.000 When we got involved in the adoption process, we had no clue what was going on in this adoption arena.

00:18:03.000 And I had to remove the kids because, well, you know, it's our job to keep them safe.

00:18:08.000 She gave me these.

00:18:10.000 And so what's going on in the nation right now is over 400,000 kids are in the foster system, over 100,000 are waiting to be adopted.

00:18:19.000 While we have over 400,000 local churches on every street corner sitting there lifting up the name of Jesus while this is happening under our nose.

00:18:29.000 But if we can't wrap our arms around the most vulnerable amongst us, then what do we have?

00:18:35.000 Noise!

00:18:40.000 That's what we have.

00:18:42.000 Noise.

00:18:43.000 And the children can't take the noise anymore.

00:18:46.000 And how do we as a community, not only the church, but how do we rally everyone to step in for kids because they are the future?

00:18:54.000 For us to be able to see this, this come to fruition, this movie of their story and what it can compel other churches and other families to step forward and do the same, what this one little community can do.

00:19:08.000 Imagine if all the churches around the world did the same.

00:19:12.000 Would there be any kids in the foster care system, let alone available for adoption, if the church raised fairies? 1.00

00:19:21.000 Now I know what can happen.

00:19:23.000 It's just not okay.

00:19:24.000 And I feel like we need to show that.

00:19:26.000 And I feel like we need to make it known that this is what's happening and we need to make it stop.

00:19:31.000 I just pray that something in this movie makes your heart jump and you want to go out and be involved in the foster care crisis because people like you are people who change the world.

00:19:42.000 And if you feel that tugging at your heart, don't ignore it.

00:19:46.000 Go after it and do something.

00:19:49.000 I think the ultimate thing that I take from this is you're never so small that you can't make a difference.

00:19:56.000 Like, it's just extraordinary to me what we can do if we decide we're going to make things better.

00:20:02.000 I never seen you so scared.

00:20:05.000 Is he speaking to you?

00:20:09.000 Is he speaking?

00:20:21.000 It's great stuff, guys.

00:20:22.000 Angel.com/slash hope.

00:20:23.000 Some thoughts.

00:20:24.000 When my wife and I watched this film for the first time, I couldn't stop thinking about it for at least two weeks.

00:20:32.000 And it just sticks with you.

00:20:37.000 And we turn to each other and we're like, are we going to adopt?

00:20:44.000 I believe that this film can change the world.

00:20:50.000 And, you know, if we can get those 100,000 kids adopted, I mean, look at Steve Jobs was adopted.

00:20:58.000 There are great world-changing people inside of that group of kids.

00:21:03.000 And the key is, is to get it out, get the movie out in a big way in the summer box office so everybody's talking about it so that the families who God needs to speak to, he can reach them.

00:21:16.000 Because stories are how you reach people's hearts.

00:21:18.000 I love it.

00:21:19.000 After Sound of Freedom, we met a guy on the beach in El Salvador.

00:21:22.000 One of our team members did.

00:21:23.000 And the guy said, I watched Sound of Freedom 11 times, and I've since started four orphanages.

00:21:29.000 Wow.

00:21:30.000 Praise God.

00:21:31.000 So, so, but this is how we reach the world: just show up, and it will, and the people who need to be touched will be touched.

00:21:31.000 Yeah.

00:21:39.000 You look at the list: Steve Jobs, Angelina.

00:21:42.000 I don't know if Angelina and Jolie's on the list.

00:21:44.000 I don't.

00:21:45.000 Jamie Foxx, Nelson Mandela, people that were all adopted.

00:21:49.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:21:51.000 Adopting a child can change the world.

00:21:54.000 It's amazing.

00:21:55.000 Praise God.

00:21:56.000 So the movie's coming out on Independence Day weekend, and we want to try to make it a really big thing.

00:22:04.000 And so will this be available in theaters all across the world?

00:22:06.000 It will be available in theaters all across the country.

00:22:08.000 A key piece is that people go and they show their support now by going to angel.com slash hope.

00:22:15.000 That signals to the theaters, hey, there's a lot of demand for this.

00:22:19.000 And it signals to the world how important these type of stories are.

00:22:23.000 And so don't wait until July 3rd or 4th.

00:22:26.000 It's really important that you go to angel.com slash hope and that you get your tickets early because it allows us to get to more locations, larger auditoriums, bigger screens.

00:22:35.000 Yeah, right now I think we have 1,500 theaters across the country.

00:22:39.000 But you really want, like, Sound of Freedom reached up to 3,000 theaters.

00:22:43.000 And so what does it take to get to that scale?

00:22:46.000 You just an initial good weekend, is that right?

00:22:48.000 Initial, well, no, it takes pre-orders.

00:22:50.000 Like, people need to go in and buy their tickets now.

00:22:53.000 If this is a movie that interests you, just get on angel.com slash hope, buy your tickets.

00:22:58.000 It doesn't cost anything to change the times.

00:23:00.000 Like on angel.com slash home.

00:23:02.000 You might not know your plans for the week.

00:23:04.000 You can switch your theater.

00:23:05.000 You can switch your time of day.

00:23:07.000 No fee changes.

00:23:08.000 You can just switch around your dates later if your plans change.

00:23:11.000 But right now, just go get your tickets so that the theaters can see people want to watch this movie.

00:23:16.000 And then they give us bigger auditoriums and more locations, the more people that pre-order so that the movie can have a bigger impact.

00:23:24.000 Yeah, and so the pre-orders really matter a lot.

00:23:26.000 And so, and you guys have multiple movies out right now, right?

00:23:30.000 You have Sound of Hope.

00:23:31.000 You had Cabrini, which did very, very well.

00:23:33.000 You said it's one of the.

00:23:34.000 Are you guys Catholic?

00:23:35.000 We're not.

00:23:36.000 We're members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or LDS, but we love that story.

00:23:40.000 We love LDS.

00:23:41.000 We have a lot of LDS here.

00:23:42.000 That explains the six kids per family.

00:23:45.000 You were like, they have to be Catholic or they might be or Calvinists.

00:23:52.000 It's one of the three.

00:23:52.000 Like, plus mainline evangelicals.

00:23:55.000 Usually, like, maybe three.

00:23:57.000 Maybe three.

00:23:58.000 No, but so you guys are, it's one of the top Catholic films all the time.

00:24:02.000 Cabrini Reynolds.

00:24:03.000 It competed with Martin Scorsese's Silence.

00:24:06.000 It actually beat it in the domestic box office.

00:24:08.000 It was right on their par with Mark Wahlberg's Father Stew.

00:24:12.000 These stories, it's such a beautiful story.

00:24:15.000 And then Sights in Theaters right now, and it actually just, it's a smaller release, but it actually just broke a record that's never been done before.

00:24:22.000 Never on a Memorial Day weekend has a movie opened up.

00:24:26.000 And on the Monday of Memorial Day weekend, does it do better than its opening day?

00:24:30.000 So the word's spreading.

00:24:31.000 The word is spreading.

00:24:32.000 People are loving sight.

00:24:33.000 It's getting a 98% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

00:24:36.000 Near-perfect score from the audience.

00:24:38.000 And that's about the Cultural Revolution.

00:24:40.000 Dr. Ming Wing, who came over, fled communist China, becomes an eye doctor, and changes the entire world through a revolutionary surgery that he created.

00:24:51.000 Millions of kids now have sight because of Dr. Ming's procedures.

00:24:54.000 It's amazing.

00:24:55.000 Praise God.

00:24:56.000 And so this kind of portfolio of movies is really starting to challenge Hollywood as we know it.

00:25:02.000 Yeah, that's the beauty of it.

00:25:04.000 One of the films that's coming this Thanksgiving is the story of Dietrich Bonhoeffer called Bonhoeffer, who was a pastor, an assassin, and a spy.

00:25:12.000 I mean, the guy is amazing, and his story is incredible.

00:25:15.000 But the key to all these things happening is the Angel Guild, which we're going to obviously go into.

00:25:20.000 But that is the catalyst that an individual can come in and they can help us make the decisions of which films should be released, which TV shows should come out, and they can actually craft and help us mold culture in the way we want to.

00:25:36.000 Hey guys, prepare to witness a journey of resilience, courage, and redemption in Angel Studios' upcoming new film, Sight, hitting theaters May 24th.

00:25:46.000 I had a chance to watch it, and it's such an extraordinary true story that captures your heart and leaves your spirit inspired.

00:25:52.000 It's everything awe-inspiring that you'd expect from Angel Studios, and you can buy your tickets now at angel.com/slash Charlie.

00:25:59.000 This film stars Academy Award nominee Greg Kinnier and Terry Chen and follows Dr. Ming Wang's epic quest from poverty-stricken beginnings in communist China to become a pioneering eye surgeon in America.

00:26:13.000 You'll watch him face the challenge of restoring the sight of a blind orphan that forces him to confront his dark past of violence and communism that he experienced in China. 0.84

00:26:22.000 This Memorial Day weekend, find out if the ghosts of Dr. Wang's past shatter his sanity or propel him to accomplish the impossible for a child in need.

00:26:32.000 Mark your calendars for March 24th and get your tickets today at angel.com/slash Charlie.

00:26:36.000 That's angel.com slash Charlie.

00:26:40.000 Okay, I want to get into the Guild guys, and then also we'll talk about Toddle Twins and Mike Rowe.

00:26:44.000 But so tell us, what is the Guild?

00:26:47.000 What is the vision of the project?

00:26:50.000 So the Guild, Angel Studios, people see these huge films.

00:26:54.000 They've seen The Chosen, they've seen Sound of Freedom, they've seen Dry Bar Comedy, these massive programs.

00:27:02.000 And a lot of people just see those and they go, oh, it's another studio, but it's not.

00:27:06.000 The Angel Guild is the beating heart of Angel Studios.

00:27:10.000 It is 300 plus thousand people from 155 countries all coming together to decide what content gets on Angel Studios.

00:27:18.000 So if you're a member of the Angel Guild, you get to pick which movies come to theaters.

00:27:23.000 You get to pick Cabrini.

00:27:25.000 You get to pick Sound of Freedom.

00:27:26.000 You get to pick Sound of Hope, the story of Possum Trot.

00:27:30.000 You get to pick Bonhoeffer.

00:27:30.000 You get to pick Sight.

00:27:32.000 They're watching it months before everybody else.

00:27:33.000 Yes, they're getting to screen these, and then you give feedback to the filmmakers.

00:27:38.000 Now imagine, for example, normally in Hollywood, there's a little group of people that are living in a bubble, sitting in boardrooms, making decisions about what films go to theaters worldwide.

00:27:52.000 We believe that gatekeeper model, those gatekeepers, that's a broken model.

00:27:56.000 They don't understand what the world's like.

00:28:00.000 Everybody that's around them is just like them.

00:28:03.000 And so they're making decisions that don't represent what people want to see on the screen.

00:28:07.000 And 80% of movies are failing because of this.

00:28:10.000 So with the Angel Guild, we're taking the Guild concept and saying, I'm the chief content officer of Angel Studios.

00:28:19.000 And I cannot take a movie at Angel Studios unless it first passes the Angel Guild.

00:28:25.000 Those 300,000 people are the gatekeeper.

00:28:28.000 They get to decide what comes in.

00:28:30.000 And then after they've given it the green light, then we can look at the projects.

00:28:34.000 And so as a member of the Angel Guild, think of it like Legos.

00:28:38.000 Instead of living in the consumption side, you're actually living on the creation side.

00:28:44.000 My favorite toy was Legos growing up because you're creating stuff.

00:28:47.000 And like we were saying, I have six kids.

00:28:50.000 You have a couple of kids.

00:28:51.000 What I tell my kids when they have too much screen time is we say, our family lives on the other side of the screen.

00:28:57.000 We live on the creation side of the screen.

00:29:00.000 We don't live on the consumption side.

00:29:02.000 And as a member of the Angel Guild, you get to live on the other side of the screen.

00:29:06.000 You get to watch early cuts of movies.

00:29:08.000 You get to screen them.

00:29:09.000 You get to give feedback to them.

00:29:11.000 The directors are taking those notes and improving the films to the point that they can get into theaters or that they can make it onto the Angel Guild.

00:29:20.000 And so think of it like Legos or Minecraft, which is another game where you just create stuff.

00:29:26.000 These are extremely popular games.

00:29:28.000 And we believe, we're taking a bet that the average person will want to join this movement to become a member of the Angel Guild where you become a guild member at angel.com slash Charlie.

00:29:44.000 That's where you can become a member.

00:29:46.000 And you get two free movie tickets to every single movie in theaters.

00:29:50.000 So you get two movie tickets to site right now.

00:29:52.000 That will pay for your guild membership.

00:29:54.000 Then you get two movie tickets to Sound of Hope, The Story of Possum Trot, and then two to Bonhoeffer, two to Homestead coming out in December at Christmas time.

00:30:03.000 And you get two movie tickets, and then you get to decide the future of entertainment.

00:30:06.000 And if we get enough people, so what happens to understand why this makes movies work is because you have to look at Taylor Swift.

00:30:17.000 So Taylor Swift decides to go to movie theaters with her concert last year.

00:30:23.000 And she puts out a concert.

00:30:26.000 And when she put tickets on sale, she sold $27 million of tickets in 24 hours.

00:30:32.000 And because of that, five major studios moved off of her day.

00:30:38.000 They moved. 0.72

00:30:39.000 They moved out of the way.

00:30:40.000 Now, imagine if you get a million guild members, and all of those guild members have two movie tickets to the movies that they help pick.

00:30:47.000 And then you get two million guild members, et cetera.

00:30:49.000 Then you start Taylor Swifting, the Swift, every single movie.

00:30:54.000 And you end up with a floor that you can sell at least this many tickets into theaters.

00:30:59.000 And then you change the conversation.

00:31:00.000 And then every once in a while, a movie goes big like Sound of Freedom.

00:31:05.000 It becomes a huge hit.

00:31:06.000 You have medium-sized hits like Cabrini.

00:31:08.000 You have smaller movies like Sight, which is picking up right now.

00:31:12.000 But you have different sizes of movies, but they all have this floor of how much they bring in because of the Angel Guild.

00:31:22.000 And so the Guild through this model is changing the Hollywood system.

00:31:26.000 Well, and also just in order to even be presented in front of the Guild, you have to have some sort of redemptive quality to the film.

00:31:33.000 Is that right?

00:31:33.000 That's right.

00:31:34.000 Our entire mission is to tell stories that amplify light.

00:31:37.000 And so, when people submit their projects, we have two kinds of gatekeepers in the guild.

00:31:42.000 There's a gatekeeper called the Defenders, which they opt in to basically sift out anything that's just not great.

00:31:48.000 And then you have the broader guild, which is basically getting all the good stuff.

00:31:52.000 And they're the ones saying, Hey, this deserves to go to theaters or this deserves to go into the Angel ecosystem.

00:31:58.000 But your guild membership not only gives you all those perks that Jeff was talking about, you get early access to the films after they're done with theaters.

00:32:05.000 But you also get your membership funds, the TV shows that are in Angels' ecosystem, like the Tunnel Twins and the Wingfeather Saga.

00:32:12.000 Those shows, when you become a guild member, you're saying, Hey, these shows are important to us.

00:32:18.000 These are important to my family.

00:32:19.000 They're important to my kids.

00:32:20.000 We want to keep these things going.

00:32:22.000 Yeah, so the guild picks the winners, then it makes them winners by showing up to the box office and giving them a minimum amount of theatrical sales.

00:32:29.000 And then the guild gets to watch them sooner when they're streaming.

00:32:32.000 And together, we're changing culture.

00:32:36.000 Like, when you have a big box office, a conversation starts around that box office.

00:32:43.000 Let's first play Cut 55.

00:32:45.000 You know, it's interesting.

00:32:46.000 We try to limit screen time to like 20 minutes a day.

00:32:50.000 That's a good rule.

00:32:51.000 And I saw this.

00:32:52.000 There's this, you cannot go on YouTube without, you know, typing in kids' programming without Cocomelon coming up. 0.96

00:32:59.000 And it's a bunch of gay propaganda. 0.97

00:33:02.000 It is. 0.99

00:33:03.000 It really is.

00:33:04.000 And I saw it immediately. 0.99

00:33:06.000 So we're not watching that crap in our house. 0.99

00:33:07.000 We don't put up with that. 0.99

00:33:08.000 But we can just build our own content.

00:33:09.000 No, that's what we're going to talk about that.

00:33:10.000 Let's play Cut.

00:33:12.000 And if you think, you say, oh, Charlie, what do you mean?

00:33:14.000 Let's play Cut 55. 0.73

00:33:16.000 Hollywood has now infiltrated Cocomelon with content that shows a little boy dancing in a dress for his gay dad.

00:33:22.000 That's Cocomelon.

00:33:23.000 Play Cut 55.

00:33:38.000 Just be me?

00:33:40.000 Yep.

00:33:41.000 When you're trying to decide, think about all the things you like to do.

00:33:48.000 Just be you.

00:33:49.000 Just be me.

00:33:52.000 That is awful programming.

00:33:53.000 Now I want to play 57, which is about the Tuttle Twins, which is a project you guys are pioneering.

00:34:00.000 Let's play Cut 57.

00:34:02.000 Is it true going to college doesn't guarantee us a good job?

00:34:06.000 Okay, no fat in this conversation.

00:34:08.000 Well, I can tell you that inflation has doubled in the last 40 years, while the price of college has quadrupled.

00:34:14.000 Quadrupled?

00:34:15.000 How?

00:34:16.000 Oh, just millions in government student subsidies and loans, bloated college administration costs, and a marketing campaign so powerful that millions of kids still believe without a college degree, they'll be a failure.

00:34:27.000 And at the same time, adjusting for inflation, the average salary of a graduate with a four-year degree was actually more in 1982 than it is today.

00:34:36.000 Of course, there are some jobs that do require a degree: doctors, lawyers, accountants, and other super fun people.

00:34:43.000 But those diplomas are really expensive, and there are lots of great jobs out there that don't require one at all.

00:34:48.000 So you're saying college is a waste of time.

00:34:50.000 No, I'm just saying not all knowledge comes from college.

00:34:53.000 And there's lots of ways to get educated.

00:34:56.000 Tell us all about this.

00:34:57.000 So that's Mike Rowe.

00:34:58.000 He's the visitor.

00:34:59.000 And the Tuttle Twins is these two twins who their grandma Gabby is a Cuban American who has a time-traveling interdimensional wheelchair.

00:35:09.000 And so she takes them around, like, think of it like magic school bus mixed with Phineas and Ferb.

00:35:16.000 And she takes them around and they visit people like Micro, they visit Mother Cabrini, they visit George Washington, they visit Harriet Tubman, and they learn from all these different people about the principles that make America great.

00:35:32.000 This movie, this, this series is on season three.

00:35:35.000 And if you go to angel.com slash Charlie, you can watch this episode.

00:35:35.000 This is part of season three.

00:35:39.000 This is the first episode of season three.

00:35:41.000 And that season three is in early access right now.

00:35:44.000 And you can watch the other two seasons for free.

00:35:46.000 Totally free.

00:35:47.000 But you just go to angel.com slash Charlie and then you can watch Tuttle Twins.

00:35:52.000 And these two seasons have already had over 150 million views.

00:35:57.000 This series is exploding.

00:35:59.000 It's growing like a weed.

00:36:01.000 And it teaches your kids.

00:36:03.000 It teaches kids what we want them to learn.

00:36:06.000 I'm sporting the Tuttle Twins hat right now.

00:36:08.000 This is what I want my kids to learn.

00:36:10.000 And it's really fun for adults to watch because it has adult-level humor.

00:36:15.000 It's not just kid humor.

00:36:16.000 Like there's two adult jokes for every kid's joke.

00:36:18.000 So it's kind of a family viewing at COVID.

00:36:20.000 So the kids don't get that part.

00:36:24.000 So it's also important to remember, you guys also are behind The Chosen, too.

00:36:29.000 Is that correct?

00:36:30.000 Yeah, The Chosen is our first original series, and it's obviously just become a massive hit.

00:36:34.000 It's such a beautiful series about Christ and his apostles and what they did.

00:36:38.000 But the beauty of Angel Studios model is that this model with the Angel Guild is going to find the winners that no one else could find.

00:36:48.000 His only son launches into the box office.

00:36:51.000 Every major studio had rejected it.

00:36:53.000 It's a story of Abraham Street.

00:36:54.000 It's a story of Abraham and Isaac.

00:36:55.000 And it gets top three in the box office of a $250,000 film.

00:36:58.000 That film started getting everybody talking.

00:37:00.000 He's saying, well, hold on a sec.

00:37:02.000 You know, what is this whole thing?

00:37:03.000 How did you guys even find this?

00:37:04.000 It was the Angel Guild.

00:37:05.000 The Angel Guild found something that no one else could recognize.

00:37:10.000 And so there will be hit after hit after hit after hit of great films and TV shows that people are getting to vote on and decide on before anybody else.

00:37:19.000 Yeah, it takes the guesswork out of funding movies.

00:37:21.000 Is that right?

00:37:22.000 That's right.

00:37:23.000 It reduces risk.

00:37:24.000 Like, we can't predict when a movie goes huge, like Sound of Freedom, but we can feel it when it does.

00:37:29.000 Did you guys know that it was going to be that big?

00:37:32.000 No, we did not know it was going to be a quarter billion dollar movie release.

00:37:35.000 We were thinking like we were really happy if it hit 50 million in the box office, which is kind of...

00:37:40.000 It's 4x that.

00:37:41.000 Yeah, it was 5x that.

00:37:42.000 It just went absolutely crazy.

00:37:45.000 But we can't predict when that happens.

00:37:47.000 You actually can't force that to happen.

00:37:49.000 But what we can predict is the floor.

00:37:51.000 The guild supports movies that it deems valuable and entertaining, and they have to be excellent.

00:37:58.000 They can't just be just messaged.

00:38:01.000 They have to be amazing films, which if you've seen our films, you know, email us freedom at charliekirk.com and go to angel.com slash charlie to join the guild today.

00:38:17.000 Receiving threatening letters.

00:38:19.000 Yeah, it's about to get even worse.

00:38:21.000 The IRS is hiring an army of agents targeting hardworking Americans just like you.

00:39:10.000 That is TNUSA.com slash Charlie.

00:39:13.000 TNUSA.com slash Charlie.

00:39:18.000 I want to play some more tape here to kind of just set the tone, if you will, of what we're up against.

00:39:26.000 Let's do this one here.

00:39:28.000 This is Queer Planet, which will be released in June.

00:39:31.000 The documentary by NBC focuses on LGBTQI plus PlayCut 54.

00:39:38.000 The apparatus really are everywhere.

00:39:40.000 Everything you were told as a kid is wrong. 1.00

00:39:44.000 Gay penguins, bisexual lions, sex-changing clownfish. 1.00

00:39:48.000 This is a queer planet. 1.00

00:39:51.000 Queeness has always existed. 1.00

00:39:53.000 It's only in humans that we have such a stigma about it.

00:39:55.000 The idea of just having two fixed sexes is clearly out of style. 0.99

00:40:01.000 Mother Nature is pretty open-minded. 0.96

00:40:06.000 Sex is not just for reproduction.

00:40:08.000 It's clear that no matter where you look on our planet, nature is full of queer surprises. 1.00

00:40:15.000 To be honest, we should all probably get laid a little more than we do.

00:40:23.000 So would that go through the guild?

00:40:25.000 They could try.

00:40:27.000 The guild would be like, I mean, imagine if Peacock Next does Cannibal Planet.

00:40:33.000 And they're just like, we can eat our own young because animals eat their own.

00:40:37.000 My favorite comment on that YouTube video, because I watched it a few days ago, was, and now millions of people are canceling their Peacock subscriptions.

00:40:45.000 No kidding.

00:40:46.000 Yeah, and so just, I mean, talk about how your process, by the way, that's targeting kids.

00:40:50.000 Kids love nature shows.

00:40:52.000 This is intentional.

00:40:54.000 We have a show called Riot in the Dance that's coming out this fall.

00:40:58.000 The first episode's already on Angel, which is an entire nature documentary series that praises God and glorifies God throughout it.

00:41:08.000 Wow.

00:41:09.000 It speaks to the scientific as well.

00:41:10.000 Yes, it's very scientific.

00:41:12.000 You know, it's an incredible, incredibly smart man who narrates it, but it also glorifies God and magnifies him.

00:41:19.000 And so this is one of those things where, you know, it's so funny that they have when I, when I thought about, when you brought up Queer Planet, I was like, man, they go find a bunch of footage of animals in nature doing things that, and then misinterpret to their lens of like, well, you know, this must be that they're queer, not that they're, there can be no other explanation for that. 0.90

00:41:39.000 There's no explanation other than it's LGBTQ and plus.

00:41:44.000 No, it's, it's too.

00:41:45.000 Actually, I got to keep going.

00:41:46.000 I'm going to show you.

00:41:48.000 It's really something else, right now.

00:41:50.000 No, I got it.

00:41:51.000 I got it.

00:41:51.000 It's LG, L G B T Q I A 2 S plus.

00:41:58.000 And 2S is one I just learned last year.

00:41:58.000 Yeah.

00:42:00.000 There's two spirit.

00:42:01.000 Yeah, two spirit.

00:42:02.000 Which is funny for people that say they don't believe in God.

00:42:05.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:42:08.000 So, but we do have a, we have an answer to that.

00:42:11.000 The guild has passed.

00:42:12.000 It's called Riot in the Dance, and it's coming out this fall in the Guild, and it is a beautiful series.

00:42:18.000 I found it.

00:42:18.000 It's LGBTQIA 2S.

00:42:23.000 We should reclaim the rainbow, right?

00:42:25.000 The rainbow is a covenant.

00:42:26.000 Well, they changed it.

00:42:26.000 They changed it.

00:42:27.000 Now it's inverting itself.

00:42:28.000 It's eating itself.

00:42:29.000 Yeah, it's eating it.

00:42:29.000 It's a triangle and a circle.

00:42:31.000 I feel like, so my wife's a fashion designer, and I feel like what we're seeing in the world right now is it started out with the beautiful rainbow flag.

00:42:41.000 And everybody you know that was in that world, and I appreciate my friends that are in this world, but they dress really well.

00:42:50.000 They treat you really well.

00:42:51.000 They could help you at the mall.

00:42:54.000 And now you go to Nordstrom and some dude that's dressed as a girl comes up and is like trying to help, you know, like it's not the same as it used to be.

00:43:04.000 And I feel like the way that the rainbow flag has changed, it represents.

00:43:08.000 Can we put it up on screen?

00:43:10.000 We have two new ones, actually.

00:43:12.000 There's one where there's like a purple ring and then there's like an umbrella.

00:43:17.000 And like, it's really, it's something else.

00:43:19.000 I haven't seen the purple ring umbrella one.

00:43:21.000 Oh, no, that's a new one.

00:43:22.000 That's for this season.

00:43:24.000 Okay.

00:43:25.000 That's old.

00:43:26.000 But that was the one that was done at the Smithsonian.

00:43:29.000 You know, they had a whole celebration at the Smithsonian to unveil that one.

00:43:33.000 And now they have a new one that is.

00:43:35.000 It's hard to keep up.

00:43:38.000 Because the things you're evolving anyway.

00:43:40.000 That's right.

00:43:40.000 Exactly.

00:43:41.000 Yeah, it's turned into a religion.

00:43:43.000 And the interesting thing is to me is the evolution of Losing Me.

00:43:48.000 I've been a very big advocate of LGB rights that they've been abused and they've been hit over history and that they needed to be their rights.

00:44:00.000 But there was a point where it was like, wait a second.

00:44:02.000 And I think that flag perfectly represents the way the world is flipping.

00:44:06.000 Is oh, it was a beautiful rainbow and now it's turned into this like weird color clashing flag.

00:44:12.000 What?

00:44:12.000 That's real?

00:44:13.000 That's the real one.

00:44:14.000 No way.

00:44:15.000 Yeah, so that's a representation of like, oh, we were all on board with people having these rights to now it's this propaganda machine that's that's like pushing a religion on everybody.

00:44:26.000 It's like, do what you want in your house.

00:44:28.000 Just don't teach my kids.

00:44:29.000 That looks like something that the Babylon B would publish.

00:44:32.000 That's real.

00:44:34.000 That's real.

00:44:35.000 Oh my goodness.

00:44:36.000 Let's summarize it, guys.

00:44:37.000 So the guild is open for people to join.

00:44:40.000 Angel.com slash Charlie.

00:44:41.000 Tell us more.

00:44:42.000 Closing thoughts.

00:44:43.000 So, I mean, the guild, like I said, when people understand that they do have an impact on culture and they can influence it, and the way you can do that, I believe one of the single most impactful ways you can do that is through the entertainment industry and through the Angel Guild.

00:44:43.000 Yeah.

00:44:58.000 It's going to be, to Jeff's point, we believe that the average person is going to want to participate in that and that they're going to want to actually influence so that the world can stop living in crazy land and start living in reality and in truth.

00:45:13.000 There is truth.

00:45:13.000 There's absolute truth.

00:45:15.000 And to pretend that there's not, it's absurdity.

00:45:18.000 And so what other movies do you guys have coming up later in the year?

00:45:22.000 We've got Sound of Hope, The Story of Possum Trot, July 4th.

00:45:25.000 Get tickets to that, angel.com/slash hope.

00:45:28.000 Then there's Bonhoeffer coming up at Thanksgiving.

00:45:30.000 That's exciting.

00:45:30.000 Then we've got Homestead coming up.

00:45:33.000 These are the ones in theaters.

00:45:34.000 And then you've got Riot in the Dance, the nature documentary that glorifies God.

00:45:39.000 That's coming up at the end of the year, right, Jordan?

00:45:42.000 There's a TV series.

00:45:42.000 Yep.

00:45:43.000 It comes out at Christmas.

00:45:44.000 There's a TV series that released it.

00:45:45.000 It would be launched soon called Testament, which is like a modern adaptation of the book of Acts.

00:45:49.000 It's beautiful.

00:45:50.000 We have the story of Helmut Humider, which is called Truth and Conviction, coming out in May.

00:45:53.000 Another TV show that's a boy and three teenage boys who stood up to Hitler during Nazi Germany and said, this is wrong.

00:46:00.000 We have multiple other TV shows that haven't been announced yet, but next year is going to be a really fun year.

00:46:06.000 Wow.

00:46:07.000 And long-term vision is this, you want this to become a universal Warner Brothers competitor.

00:46:13.000 Is that right?

00:46:14.000 Well, the Guild, the idea is it becomes a governance system.

00:46:17.000 Disney, the Disney brothers were the sons of a pastor.

00:46:21.000 They're amazing.

00:46:22.000 And they have an amazing story.

00:46:24.000 And Disney has become something totally different.

00:46:26.000 That's right.

00:46:27.000 And the world is, they've left a gaping hole.

00:46:30.000 And to refill that hole, we don't want to become the next gatekeepers.

00:46:33.000 And so if we build out an angel guild where the guild makes the decisions and keeps control.

00:46:41.000 Now, I'm not going to agree with everything the guild passes, I'm sure.

00:46:44.000 And I'm sure we'll have misses.

00:46:45.000 But as a whole, if the Angel Guild comes together and there's already 300,000 of us and there's going to be millions, then we can change culture together worldwide.

00:46:56.000 I love it.

00:46:57.000 Angel.com slash Charlie.

00:46:58.000 That is Jeff and Jordan Harmon, who are the co-founders of Angel Studios.

00:47:03.000 They brought to you The Chosen.

00:47:04.000 They brought you Sound of Freedom and so many other amazing movies that you have to check out.

00:47:08.000 The call to action of this Independence Day weekend coming up right around the corner is to get your tickets to Sound of Hope.

00:47:17.000 That's right.

00:47:18.000 Sound of Hope, The Story of Possum Hope.

00:47:19.000 So it's kind of a sequel to Sound of Freedom, Sound of Hope.

00:47:21.000 It's an anthology.

00:47:22.000 That's an anthology.

00:47:23.000 I like that.

00:47:24.000 Very good.
