The Matt Walsh Show - Backstage Premiere： RUN HIDE FIGHT

00:00:00.080 Hey, Matt Walsh here. The latest episode of Backstage is almost here.

00:00:03.720 This is a massive event for The Daily Wire, where we will finally premiere our first feature film, Run, Hide, Fight.

00:00:09.540 Be sure to join me, Ben Shapiro, Andrew Klavan, Michael Knowles, the God King, Jeremy Boring,

00:00:13.680 and special guests as we discuss Hollywood and this fantastic new film. Don't miss it.

00:00:18.560 You know, if there's any chance that conservatives or free thinkers are going to survive what's happening right now,

00:00:24.380 it's by building our own institutions, making our own movie, and redefining the culture.

00:00:30.000 And I'm thrilled to be in the fight with you guys, and I love the movie.

00:00:33.260 Wow, I just saw Run, Hide, Fight, and I've got to say, it's an intense movie,

00:00:36.980 but it is exactly what we need to take back the culture for conservatives.

00:00:40.580 It is really well acted, a lot of great tension, well done, well directed, great pacing.

00:00:46.020 It's one of the most intense movies that I have ever seen. I am not kidding.

00:00:50.540 And just be prepared to have your heart pounding the entire time as you watch Zoey kick some ass.

00:00:56.520 Run, Hide, Fight, great movie. You got to see it.

00:00:58.680 However, now I have decided not to send my kids to high school.

00:01:02.360 I'm excited to see what The Daily Wire is doing. Moving into entertainment, we have to change the culture.

00:01:07.140 It had me on the edge of my seat the entire time.

00:01:10.200 I can promise you it is unlike any other movie you have ever seen that has been made by conservatives.

00:01:15.600 Quite honestly, it's a game changer.

00:01:17.440 This may be one of the first times there is a conservative production for a piece of content that's actually worth watching.

00:01:23.820 Do not believe those elitist snooty reviews you've come to expect from Hollywood.

00:01:29.500 This film is amazing.

00:01:31.420 I don't think I blinked the entire time that I was watching it.

00:01:34.540 I just did not expect to be as emotionally impacted by it as I was.

00:01:40.320 I think it is a credit to the filmmakers and the actors how immersive and real all of that footage feels.

00:01:47.600 I was completely blown away.

00:01:49.660 I made the decision during the movie that I will be naming my firstborn daughter Zoey in honor of the coolest character in any movie I've seen in a long time.

00:01:56.820 You got to go see it.

00:01:57.820 The action was crazy.

00:01:58.920 Special effects were top notch.

00:02:00.180 We conservatives need to stay engaged in our culture and not surrender it to the far leftist in Hollywood.

00:02:07.740 So keep up the good work.

00:02:09.340 And all I've got to say is, you guys, watch this movie.

00:02:11.600 I would highly recommend you watch this when it comes out.

00:02:14.460 Go check it out.

00:02:15.080 And I absolutely recommend that you check it out.

00:02:17.200 Check it out, everybody.

00:02:21.520 Welcome to The Daily Wire backstage, the Run, Hide, Fight premiere.

00:02:26.320 Today's show is sponsored by ExpressVPN.

00:02:28.280 Stand up for your digital rights.

00:02:29.940 Take action at expressvpn.com slash Ben.

00:02:33.500 That's expressvpn.com slash Ben because they never make it slash Jeremy.

00:02:38.100 We're so glad to be with you here for the premiere of our first feature film, Run, Hide, Fight.

00:02:43.040 It's a monumental day for us at The Daily Wire, a day we've been working on, honestly, since, well, since before we even started the company.

00:02:49.240 As far back as when Ben and I first started collaborating over a decade ago.

00:02:53.460 And every one of us here on this stage has been talking about doing something like this for about as long as we've all known one another.

00:02:59.800 Conservatives are severely underrepresented in pop culture.

00:03:03.020 And as our friend and mentor Andrew Breitbart once observed, politics is downstream of that culture.

00:03:08.200 For too long, we in conservative media have devoted, well, too much of our energy to criticizing art and not nearly enough energy to actually making it.

00:03:14.900 We focus our energies on the short-term political conflicts in front of us.

00:03:18.720 It's easy to do, but almost none of us spend our time and energies on the generational cultural struggle that actually defines the Overton window in which our politics take place.

00:03:28.180 That's a recipe for long-term political defeat.

00:03:31.300 So that's why we're here tonight to celebrate an incredible movie and its incredible cast and creators.

00:03:36.780 And I promise that we'll get to that and give it all the time it deserves, which is a lot.

00:03:41.520 But before we do that, there's something else that I want to celebrate, and that's the commitment that we at The Daily Wire have decided to undertake.

00:03:48.920 This year has shown us more clearly than ever before that for the people, for all those people who seek to rule us, there's just no limit to what they're willing to try to take from you.

00:03:58.280 They'll take your money.

00:03:59.240 They'll take your job.

00:04:00.280 They'll take your reputation, your right to assemble.

00:04:02.700 I mean, unless that assembly, you know, actually aligns with what they've decided is appropriate for you to believe.

00:04:08.180 They'll take away your right to speak freely in public, on social media, but perhaps the least obvious but most pernicious right they want to take away from you is just your right to be entertained.

00:04:19.160 They'll still let you watch their movies, of course, their TV shows, their news, their sports, but you'll have to do it knowing that everyone who made that content, at least everyone at the top, hates you.

00:04:29.140 You have to watch it knowing that every dollar you spend on theater tickets, on cable bills, on streaming subscriptions is going to the people that hate you, funding their hatred of you.

00:04:37.140 Not only that, but they're going to spend every day on Twitter, every spare moment, at every award show, and just about every second of every show that they make, reminding you of the fact that they hate you.

00:04:48.280 They'll let you watch it, but they won't let you enjoy it.

00:04:51.200 That's what's changing here tonight.

00:04:52.680 Tonight, we're taking the first step on a long and long-awaited journey.

00:04:56.860 And listen, we have big dreams.

00:04:58.540 We have big plans.

00:04:59.420 We have delusions of grandeur, but we're not crazy.

00:05:02.040 We're not going to change the culture with one movie.

00:05:04.200 We're not going to change the culture overnight.

00:05:05.880 What this is about is the beginning.

00:05:09.360 You know, Netflix has something like 200 million subscribers.

00:05:15.520 These people are working to make the kind of entertainment that punches you in the nose.

00:05:19.300 We're working to make the kind of entertainment that you want, the kind of entertainment that you can enjoy, that speaks to you without speaking down to you.

00:05:25.440 No leftist sucker punches in the kind of content that we're making.

00:05:28.700 Entertainment that you can not only enjoy, but be proud of, knowing that you helped change the culture.

00:05:33.160 And ultimately, that's the key.

00:05:34.500 That's the commitment that we're making.

00:05:36.280 We're going to do everything in our power to realize the goals that we've set.

00:05:39.280 But I won't lie to you.

00:05:40.540 We need you in order to do it.

00:05:41.900 Not just you.

00:05:43.140 We need you and your family and your friends and the people who say that they're friends of yours but don't actually like you and the family that has abandoned.

00:05:50.220 We need all of them.

00:05:51.120 And they're friends, too.

00:05:52.140 Or nothing is going to change.

00:05:53.480 We need every single person who shares our values to be in this fight.

00:05:57.300 You have to demand that your voice be heard.

00:05:59.500 You have to demand that we give attention to your needs.

00:06:02.820 And candidly, you have to spend some of your money.

00:06:05.660 Hollywood has amassed an absolute fortune against you.

00:06:08.520 They have studios and networks and production companies.

00:06:11.020 And we have these four director's chairs.

00:06:14.080 That's all we've got.

00:06:14.920 These four director's chairs and a dream.

00:06:17.880 We need you to complete our mission.

00:06:20.280 We need to compete.

00:06:21.320 And we have to have your subscription in order to do it.

00:06:23.600 We need you to pay for the content from us the same way you pay for content from the people who hate you.

00:06:28.680 We need you to subscribe.

00:06:29.580 As I said, Netflix, 200 million subscribers.

00:06:32.040 They're spending $17 billion on content this year alone.

00:06:36.540 Shows like Cuties, that's what gets their attention.

00:06:39.120 Disney Plus has close to 75 million subscribers.

00:06:42.120 HBO Max, 12 million subscribers.

00:06:44.640 They have Peacock and CBS All Access and Showtime and Starz and Hulu.

00:06:48.780 And, and, and, and, and.

00:06:50.000 And if we're going to compete with them, we have to have you in order to do it.

00:06:53.900 So please, head over to dailywire.com slash subscribe and become a member today.

00:06:58.340 The more people subscribe, the more content we'll make.

00:07:00.600 That's how simple it is.

00:07:01.640 And the more content we make, the more the culture will start to reflect our values and not just theirs.

00:07:06.700 Our politics will surely follow.

00:07:08.900 I'm joined this evening by all my friends, screenwriter, Andrew Klavan, screen actor,

00:07:14.600 Michael Knowles, Hollywood, aficionado, Ben Shapiro, also Matt Walsh.

00:07:18.220 And, of course, the lovely Elisha Krause.

00:07:21.360 Elisha, walk folks through what we have planned for them for tonight.

00:07:24.780 Good evening, gentlemen, and hello to everyone watching at home.

00:07:27.520 I am so excited to be able to join in for this big premiere tonight and want to welcome all of our viewers that are joining us as well.

00:07:33.820 I've seen on Twitter and Instagram today that some of you are even having watch parties, which is super fun.

00:07:38.660 I'm also excited to let you know that we will be holding an extended, the God King promised,

00:07:42.860 it would be an extended Q&A with all the guys tonight after the movie.

00:07:47.220 So, for all of our members watching at home, simply type your questions into the live chat box to the right of tonight's stream.

00:07:54.140 And be sure, for those of you who have questions but are not yet members,

00:07:57.920 go to dailywire.com slash subscribe to become a member and get access to the chat box.

00:08:03.540 Because we'd love for you to be able to ask all of your burning questions about Run, Hide, Fight,

00:08:08.400 and the Daily Wire's plunge into the entertainment world.

00:08:11.680 And the Daily Wire administration will be collecting those questions throughout tonight's event,

00:08:15.960 so stay tuned until after the movie for our special post-premiere Q&A.

00:08:20.880 Thank you, Elisha.

00:08:22.240 And roll opening graphics.

00:08:23.660 Well, thank you again for joining us tonight for the Daily Wire premiere of our first feature film,

00:08:42.100 Run, Hide, Fight.

00:08:43.020 And, you know, it's probably important to say, because we keep saying,

00:08:45.280 our first feature film, our first feature film.

00:08:47.220 We didn't make it.

00:08:48.500 This film was made by people far more talented than us,

00:08:51.520 and you're going to get to hear from the creators of the picture, a few of them,

00:08:54.900 a little bit later after the screening of the show.

00:08:57.400 We have the producer of the film, Dallas Sonnier.

00:09:00.480 We have Kyle Rankin, the director of the movie and writer of the film.

00:09:04.220 They're going to be joining us.

00:09:05.300 The cast of this film, unbelievable.

00:09:07.700 And it was a target of opportunity for us.

00:09:10.100 Candidly, we always thought that when we would get in the entertainment industry,

00:09:13.060 it would be with something that we made.

00:09:14.840 Dallas approached us.

00:09:15.600 He had this project, and I was skeptical.

00:09:18.540 Ben actually called me and said,

00:09:19.380 you know, Dallas has this film, we should look at it.

00:09:21.580 And I thought, eh, I don't want to make,

00:09:22.660 I don't want to release somebody else's movie.

00:09:24.540 Hollywood, if they were making the movies that were right for our audience,

00:09:27.820 what's our argument?

00:09:29.060 But Dallas sent over the picture, and I was just blown away.

00:09:32.240 The picture premiered at Venice, had a great response there,

00:09:36.000 and Hollywood just wasn't interested because the film,

00:09:38.040 well, is just chock full, as you'll see here in half an hour.

00:09:41.720 It's chock full of our values.

00:09:43.880 And so we decided to take a dive, to speed up our plans a little bit,

00:09:47.880 and to leap into the abyss, and here we are.

00:09:51.020 Drew, I think you and I were probably talking about this before any of these young'uns.

00:09:56.120 You know, I remember making speeches about this at conservative gatherings

00:09:59.300 and getting this look.

00:10:00.100 I used to describe it to my wife as the look she gives me

00:10:03.040 when I explained to her that when you buy something on sale,

00:10:05.280 it still costs money.

00:10:06.320 You know, which is a look that says, you know,

00:10:08.680 I always liked you, and you're very cute,

00:10:10.340 but I have no idea what you're talking about.

00:10:11.640 And that really was the reaction.

00:10:14.400 And now, suddenly, my phone is ringing,

00:10:17.600 and people are saying, you know, you were saying something about the culture,

00:10:20.660 but how do you spell that?

00:10:21.800 And it's enormously exciting.

00:10:24.320 It's enormously exciting because we're dealing with people in this room

00:10:27.260 who understand that we don't win the culture

00:10:29.960 by making conservative films or conservative books.

00:10:32.540 We take the culture when conservatives can make anything they want.

00:10:37.880 And that's what we're starting here,

00:10:39.320 and that's why we don't care about the censorship.

00:10:42.020 We don't care about any of that.

00:10:43.280 We just want to let conservative artists work,

00:10:45.520 and that's how you change everything.

00:10:47.500 Well, I mean, you know, Jeremy and I met now about a decade ago,

00:10:51.780 maybe more than a decade ago at this point.

00:10:53.280 We were so young and so handsome.

00:10:54.580 I know, right?

00:10:55.460 And so poor.

00:10:56.240 And we met in my two-bedroom condo,

00:10:59.280 and we were talking about making movies

00:11:01.260 and how difficult it was to get conservatives to understand

00:11:03.200 that we actually need to challenge in the culture.

00:11:05.040 And over the preceding 10 years,

00:11:06.880 we've seen as the culture has moved further and further left,

00:11:08.920 as more and more people are shut out of the,

00:11:10.820 not only entertainment industry, but out of sports,

00:11:12.860 out of journalism, as we saw today,

00:11:14.580 and out of virtually every area of American life,

00:11:16.940 how there's a blue tsunami that has come

00:11:18.840 and washed through all of our institutions.

00:11:21.120 And we've been talking for a long time

00:11:22.500 about how we need to fight back on this level.

00:11:24.380 One of the things that I have to say here is

00:11:26.140 nothing but love for our audience.

00:11:27.840 I mean, seriously, nothing but love for our audience,

00:11:29.600 because what we're doing here is truly something audacious.

00:11:32.220 I mean, because there's a gap that has always existed

00:11:35.620 in the conservative mind

00:11:36.500 between the stuff that we say that we want to watch

00:11:38.140 and then the stuff that people actually want to watch.

00:11:40.100 And a lot of conservatives, if you ask them,

00:11:41.280 what kind of TV do you want to watch?

00:11:42.240 And they'll say, well, like a Hallmark film, right?

00:11:44.000 Something that I can go to church

00:11:45.340 and feel good that I've watched.

00:11:46.460 Remember the little house on the prairie?

00:11:47.960 Exactly.

00:11:48.460 And then when it comes time to sit down with the wife

00:11:51.080 or sit down with the husband

00:11:52.060 and sit down with the boyfriend or girlfriend,

00:11:53.480 or then you just flip on Netflix

00:11:55.200 and whatever everybody else is watching,

00:11:56.420 that's what you're watching.

00:11:57.120 And you're giving your money to people

00:11:58.100 who really despise your values.

00:11:59.760 Well, what we've decided to do here is start,

00:12:02.220 with a film that is about as edgy as any film is.

00:12:05.460 I mean, this is an R-rated film.

00:12:06.880 It's got cursing.

00:12:07.660 It's got violence.

00:12:08.400 I mean, so be forewarned.

00:12:09.180 If you're sitting there with your 11-year-old,

00:12:10.800 this is not appropriate for your 11-year-old.

00:12:12.280 That's right.

00:12:12.440 And it's meant to be not appropriate for your 11-year-old

00:12:14.220 because the reality is that if you want to win the culture,

00:12:16.160 you have to start with teenagers.

00:12:17.860 You have to start with young adults.

00:12:19.180 You have to start with people

00:12:20.180 who are actually looking for that sort of material

00:12:22.220 and are not going to be put off by that sort of stuff.

00:12:25.360 So we are starting with this deliberately edgy.

00:12:26.940 And our audience has gone right along with it.

00:12:28.980 They understand what we're doing.

00:12:29.980 The trailer to this film has well over 1.1 million views

00:12:34.100 on our YouTube channel alone.

00:12:35.560 It's got another half million views

00:12:36.700 between a variety of other YouTube channels.

00:12:39.040 People are responding because they understand

00:12:40.360 not only what we're trying to do,

00:12:41.580 but the trailer is also really damned good

00:12:43.440 because the movie is really damned good.

00:12:45.700 And that's what I think people on our side

00:12:46.940 are beginning to understand.

00:12:47.980 It's not just important that we throw our message out to the winds

00:12:50.720 and we pay for white papers

00:12:52.120 and that we donate to politicians,

00:12:53.720 but that we actually spend money

00:12:55.400 in the places where people are actually watching,

00:12:57.420 that we actually spend our time

00:12:58.680 and spend our money and spend our attention,

00:13:00.720 where people are actually putting their eyeballs

00:13:03.380 so that we can make a difference in the cult.

00:13:04.640 I think that you're hitting on something really important

00:13:06.500 and something that there's a risk that we're taking

00:13:09.780 because we are challenging probably

00:13:12.180 some people in our audience.

00:13:13.280 The film, we're all friends with Kurt Cameron,

00:13:16.060 he's not in the movie.

00:13:17.900 One of the things that we said from the very beginning

00:13:20.420 is if James Dobson approves of the film,

00:13:23.180 we probably failed

00:13:24.120 because the sort of attitude that conservatives took up

00:13:26.900 during the moral majority,

00:13:28.120 the 80s and 90s,

00:13:29.480 that is sort of carried through until today

00:13:31.700 is essentially don't participate in the culture at all.

00:13:35.640 Kind of remove yourself,

00:13:37.460 make content that people should want

00:13:39.120 instead of content that people do want.

00:13:41.320 Listen, there's a missional quality to what we're doing.

00:13:44.080 Right now, we don't have a great value proposition.

00:13:46.260 We have one and only one film

00:13:47.480 and we're asking you to subscribe

00:13:48.720 so that we can make more.

00:13:50.280 So we understand that is a mission.

00:13:51.680 We're asking you to do something

00:13:53.100 because you believe that it's good.

00:13:55.020 But we're not asking you to watch the film

00:13:57.480 as part of that mission.

00:13:58.980 The film demands that you watch it

00:14:01.080 because it is quality.

00:14:02.020 It demands that you watch it

00:14:03.000 because it's entertaining,

00:14:04.060 because of the power of Isabel May's performance

00:14:07.240 as Zoe Hull in the film.

00:14:09.060 I'd put her up against anybody in the industry.

00:14:10.620 It's terrific.

00:14:11.060 It's a terrific film.

00:14:12.080 It's a terrific performance.

00:14:12.940 You're really going to enjoy it.

00:14:13.700 We're excited to present it to you

00:14:14.760 and we're excited that you're willing

00:14:15.700 to come along with us on this journey

00:14:17.640 and spend your hard-earned money with us

00:14:20.120 while we spend our time trying to present content

00:14:22.560 that is actually going to change

00:14:23.620 the nature of the cultural debate

00:14:24.660 because I think what everybody has learned

00:14:26.160 over the last several years

00:14:27.080 is that if we're going to rebuild America,

00:14:28.800 we're going to have to start from the ground up

00:14:29.940 and that begins with culture.

00:14:30.980 I mean, things have been raised to the ground

00:14:32.420 and now it's time to start building

00:14:33.700 and building some alternative replacement institutions

00:14:36.680 for all the institutions that hate our guts

00:14:38.580 and want to see us excised from the public debate.

00:14:40.640 You know, when I first watched Run, Hide, Fight,

00:14:43.120 I was expecting conservative propaganda.

00:14:45.980 And that's fine.

00:14:46.660 I've seen a lot of conservative propaganda,

00:14:47.940 so I sit down and watch it.

00:14:49.620 Some might say you make conservative propaganda.

00:14:50.800 Some might say I make conservative propaganda.

00:14:52.340 And I'm watching it and it's not that.

00:14:54.800 You know, it's a real movie.

00:14:55.660 I thought, why is this a problem in Hollywood?

00:15:00.440 And I thought, well,

00:15:01.040 it's obviously not conservative propaganda

00:15:02.540 because it got into the Venice Film Festival.

00:15:04.540 You don't get into Venice.

00:15:05.600 You don't do well at Venice.

00:15:06.800 But the movie is politically incorrect.

00:15:09.620 Yes.

00:15:09.820 The movie doesn't tow all the woke party lines.

00:15:12.940 And I thought, my goodness,

00:15:14.160 has the culture gone this far

00:15:15.600 that they demand,

00:15:17.620 the left is now demanding agitprop.

00:15:20.080 The left is demanding poster and slogan style.

00:15:22.980 You know, I was actually,

00:15:23.520 I was just rereading Chairman Mao of all things.

00:15:26.020 I was reading about political correctness, you know.

00:15:28.280 In Mao's...

00:15:28.480 Light reading there.

00:15:29.100 A little light reading, you know.

00:15:30.240 I'm reading Mao's little red book.

00:15:32.140 He's trying to affect a leftist cultural revolution.

00:15:34.760 And he says, we need good art,

00:15:36.920 but all you communists are making this crappy slogan poster art,

00:15:41.460 you know, but we need good art

00:15:42.660 in order to inspire people.

00:15:43.820 And he's struggling with this issue

00:15:46.520 because he's obviously leading this ideological campaign.

00:15:49.780 And I just, I'm so, so pleased

00:15:51.700 that the first movie that we're taking on

00:15:53.760 is a real movie.

00:15:55.640 I'm just so pleased it doesn't star Michael Knowles.

00:15:57.980 If the last week has taught us anything,

00:15:59.960 it's that, well, you need to be using a VPN.

00:16:02.780 You may say, no, that's not the takeaway.

00:16:05.240 That's not the message.

00:16:06.240 It's taught us, you know,

00:16:07.200 don't go to rallies if you don't know

00:16:08.720 who's up at the front.

00:16:10.060 No, no, no.

00:16:10.660 It's taught us that you should be using a VPN.

00:16:12.800 And here's why.

00:16:13.920 The left obviously wants to silence

00:16:15.780 and remove voices that they don't agree with.

00:16:17.640 It's just that simple.

00:16:18.420 Twitter, Facebook,

00:16:19.500 they're supposed to be open platforms

00:16:20.820 that encourage people to express their opinions.

00:16:22.760 Remember back when Jack Dorsey used to say,

00:16:24.580 Twitter stands for nothing, if not free speech.

00:16:27.120 Yeah, that was true.

00:16:28.500 That was right.

00:16:29.500 It stands for nothing.

00:16:32.260 Not anymore.

00:16:33.260 So instead of letting social media sites

00:16:35.180 revoke your practical ability

00:16:36.900 to exercise free speech,

00:16:38.580 how about revoking their access to your data?

00:16:40.360 That's how they make their money.

00:16:42.540 You could just deactivate

00:16:43.640 your social media accounts,

00:16:44.980 but that would be giving the left

00:16:46.020 exactly what they wanted in the first place.

00:16:48.080 Instead, we use ExpressVPN.

00:16:50.520 You ever wonder how free to access

00:16:51.860 social media sites make their billions

00:16:53.380 and billions and billions of dollars?

00:16:55.020 By taking your searches,

00:16:56.800 your video history,

00:16:57.740 and everything you click on,

00:16:58.920 and then selling that information

00:17:00.740 to ad companies against your valuable data.

00:17:03.720 I mean, good for them.

00:17:04.420 It's a free market.

00:17:05.020 But you're not free to give them your...

00:17:07.980 I'm sorry.

00:17:08.480 It's a free market except for you

00:17:09.720 because you don't actually get to say anything.

00:17:11.560 And you're not...

00:17:12.460 You're free not to give them that data

00:17:13.780 when you use ExpressVPN.

00:17:15.320 You make yourself anonymous.

00:17:17.300 You take your online presence

00:17:18.560 and you hide your IP address.

00:17:20.360 That makes your activity more difficult to trace

00:17:22.460 and more difficult to sell to advertisers.

00:17:24.760 And ExpressVPN couldn't be easier to set up.

00:17:27.420 You tap one button on your phone

00:17:28.620 or on your computer,

00:17:29.740 just like that, you're protected.

00:17:31.340 ExpressVPN also encrypts 100% of your data

00:17:34.160 and protect you from hackers

00:17:35.520 and from internet bad guys.

00:17:37.460 It's finally time to say no to all the censorship,

00:17:39.900 to say no to the voices

00:17:41.480 that want to silence you on their platforms.

00:17:43.460 Take back your online privacy

00:17:44.820 at expressvpn.com slash bin.

00:17:48.200 By visiting my special link,

00:17:49.660 and by mine, I mean his,

00:17:50.940 you'll get three months of ExpressVPN service for free.

00:17:53.620 Again, that's expressvpn.com slash bin.

00:17:57.080 Expressvpn.com slash bin

00:17:58.720 because it's never slash Jeremy.

00:18:01.160 Protect your data today.

00:18:03.260 Michael.

00:18:04.820 I said I was glad this movie didn't star you,

00:18:07.500 and of course that's true.

00:18:09.620 But you actually,

00:18:10.700 before you became a political commentator,

00:18:12.520 you were an actor,

00:18:14.520 a working, professional actor,

00:18:16.540 soulless, shouldn't be welcome in polite society.

00:18:18.320 Yeah, on the level of the lowest regs of society,

00:18:21.400 absolutely, yeah.

00:18:22.040 That's right.

00:18:22.800 So you probably have...

00:18:23.760 Once again, being paid for something

00:18:24.860 you weren't good at.

00:18:25.580 Yeah, wait a second.

00:18:26.500 Hold on a second.

00:18:27.420 You probably have a perspective

00:18:28.440 that the rest of us don't have,

00:18:30.240 which is how difficult it is for an outspoken.

00:18:32.220 You were working on campaigns at that time.

00:18:33.780 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:18:34.220 How difficult it is for an outspoken actor.

00:18:35.840 Yeah, it was tricky.

00:18:36.760 It was a tricky thing

00:18:37.880 because I was living this double life.

00:18:40.820 So I've been working in political campaigns

00:18:43.340 and in politics since I was 18.

00:18:45.380 But I'd been working in plays in New York

00:18:47.960 and some movies and TV and stuff like that.

00:18:50.040 And I just hoped...

00:18:50.760 Thankfully, if you're in these kind of smaller things,

00:18:53.660 people just...

00:18:54.260 They're so narcissistic in show business anyway,

00:18:56.840 they're not Googling you.

00:18:58.160 They're just thinking about themselves all the time.

00:18:59.940 And so I remember I was in this play...

00:19:01.360 The last kind of big play I did

00:19:02.680 was with these fairly well-known actors and actresses

00:19:05.720 all to the left of Lenin.

00:19:07.880 Very nice people.

00:19:08.540 We had a great relationship.

00:19:09.960 But I did notice I get a lot of invitations.

00:19:13.800 Go to this fundraiser for a Democrat.

00:19:15.760 Go to this left-wing organization.

00:19:18.000 Go to this.

00:19:18.260 And I knew that if I would go,

00:19:21.580 I would have a much better shot at a role.

00:19:24.080 Friends of mine who did go got cast in this TV show

00:19:26.220 or in this movie.

00:19:27.260 And you have to make this decision.

00:19:30.120 Do you want to have integrity

00:19:31.220 or do you want to live a life?

00:19:32.560 Do you want to have a career?

00:19:32.860 I mean, this is...

00:19:33.220 Yeah, yeah.

00:19:33.860 Even in my career,

00:19:35.420 I had a film set up

00:19:36.780 with a very well-known actor

00:19:39.220 who was my producing partner at the time.

00:19:41.960 And we were taking this film around.

00:19:43.020 We weren't set up.

00:19:43.540 We were taking it around to all the studios.

00:19:44.660 And we took it to one of the most important indie film studios

00:19:48.720 in Hollywood.

00:19:49.840 We had the best pitch meeting

00:19:51.300 that I think I'd ever had up until that time.

00:19:53.300 I mean, we weren't even negotiating over money.

00:19:55.400 We were negotiating over dates.

00:19:57.780 You know, when could we make this film?

00:20:00.000 And that night, this was in 2007,

00:20:02.780 and that night I got an invitation

00:20:04.660 to a Barack Obama fundraiser

00:20:07.020 that the head of the studio was hosting.

00:20:09.100 This was...

00:20:09.480 I didn't even know who Barack Obama was.

00:20:10.860 This is how early in the process

00:20:12.920 all of this happened.

00:20:14.680 And I just thought,

00:20:15.280 well, I'm obviously not going to go

00:20:16.700 to some rando Democrat senator's fundraiser.

00:20:20.440 I'm just going to ignore the email.

00:20:22.180 I'll just pretend I didn't get it.

00:20:23.480 I pretended I didn't get it.

00:20:24.560 We had a meeting on the books

00:20:25.500 to talk to the guy again.

00:20:26.720 Two days later, that meeting got canceled.

00:20:28.900 Yeah.

00:20:29.180 And at that point, I still didn't...

00:20:30.320 I thought, well, you know,

00:20:31.000 meetings get canceled,

00:20:31.780 especially meetings with muckety-mucks.

00:20:33.780 So I called in, you know,

00:20:35.800 to see when we were going to get back on the books.

00:20:37.500 Never got a return call ever.

00:20:39.260 Yeah.

00:20:39.400 It really is, in some instances,

00:20:41.040 pay-to-play in Hollywood.

00:20:42.440 And it's not pay-to-play

00:20:43.880 in the sense that you give the studio exact money.

00:20:45.740 He's got all the money.

00:20:46.880 It's you support the things that he cares about.

00:20:48.580 And if you don't support it,

00:20:49.740 you're not part of the club.

00:20:50.960 Hollywood's a very close-knit community.

00:20:52.580 It's a very small town, right?

00:20:53.880 It's a big city, but a small town.

00:20:55.540 And you're either a part of it or you're not.

00:20:57.400 And they really do look down their nose

00:20:59.120 at people in the middle of the country,

00:21:00.200 which is why I want to ask

00:21:01.080 the only person on this set

00:21:02.620 who doesn't actually hail from Hollywood

00:21:04.160 or has spent any time in Hollywood,

00:21:05.740 what does mainstream America think,

00:21:07.180 Matt Walsh, about all of this?

00:21:08.440 I'm not a screen actor or screen writer,

00:21:10.540 but I'm a screen watcher.

00:21:11.520 So I have that at least.

00:21:12.380 I spend a lot of time watching screens.

00:21:13.980 And the one question that I've gotten from people

00:21:16.160 when we announced this movie

00:21:17.360 is they want to know,

00:21:19.520 well, do they have some of the PC stuff?

00:21:23.200 Do they feel like they have to do that?

00:21:25.520 And what I like about this movie

00:21:26.560 is that it doesn't.

00:21:27.260 Now, you said the movie's politically incorrect,

00:21:29.300 which it is,

00:21:30.300 but you don't get the feeling

00:21:31.480 like they're trying to be politically incorrect.

00:21:33.080 They're just telling a good story.

00:21:35.580 And I think that's what people want.

00:21:36.920 They just want,

00:21:38.520 just tell a good story.

00:21:39.900 And yeah, there are some aspects of it

00:21:41.820 that if you're into the PC stuff,

00:21:42.980 you'll like,

00:21:43.400 like the protagonist is a woman.

00:21:46.700 But you don't get the feeling

00:21:47.640 like they felt like,

00:21:48.940 oh, we got to put a woman in this role.

00:21:50.740 It's just,

00:21:51.680 she was the best for the job.

00:21:52.740 And it works too

00:21:53.380 because there's this father-daughter relationship.

00:21:56.060 So the way I always look at it is

00:21:57.860 you want,

00:21:59.080 you know,

00:21:59.280 you can have a movie with a great message

00:22:00.760 or you can have a great movie

00:22:01.740 with a message also.

00:22:03.040 Yeah.

00:22:03.460 And I think that this is the latter

00:22:04.840 where there is a message,

00:22:05.880 but it's also just a really good movie.

00:22:08.040 And so you just sit down

00:22:09.120 and you enjoy it.

00:22:10.520 And at the end of the day,

00:22:11.620 you can go back and reflect

00:22:12.820 and think about what you learned from it.

00:22:14.800 But that's not the point, really.

00:22:15.880 Yeah, I actually think great art

00:22:16.860 doesn't make you like the artist.

00:22:18.260 It makes you like yourself.

00:22:19.280 It makes you more like who you are.

00:22:20.800 It exposes you to ideas.

00:22:21.920 It gives you things to contemplate.

00:22:23.360 I talk about it all the time.

00:22:24.820 I'm sure he doesn't love it.

00:22:26.520 Who am I kidding?

00:22:27.100 He's never watched any of this

00:22:27.880 or heard of me.

00:22:28.780 But like Don Henley's music,

00:22:30.760 it helped me kind of make my way

00:22:32.840 when I was a teenager

00:22:33.480 and figure out who I was.

00:22:34.420 Now, who that music helped me become

00:22:36.360 isn't more like Don Henley.

00:22:37.340 I mean, Don Henley and I

00:22:38.020 probably don't agree

00:22:38.880 on much of anything

00:22:40.200 politically or religiously.

00:22:43.080 But he was asking questions

00:22:44.580 that were interesting to me.

00:22:45.820 And I asked them too.

00:22:47.180 I may have come to different conclusions,

00:22:48.460 but that art helped me do it.

00:22:50.140 And that's what I think

00:22:51.420 is what separates art from propaganda.

00:22:53.700 You know, this film

00:22:54.700 is filled with our values.

00:22:56.140 It exposes people to things

00:22:57.280 that we think are important.

00:22:58.220 And I think people of good faith

00:23:01.040 could watch this movie

00:23:01.780 and come to different conclusions

00:23:02.840 than we have on some of those issues.

00:23:04.940 And I don't think that

00:23:05.480 that's something to be feared.

00:23:07.060 No, that's right.

00:23:07.860 I mean, art is an experience.

00:23:09.560 This is one of the reasons

00:23:10.280 I've never minded watching

00:23:11.720 atheist art or left-wing art.

00:23:14.240 I like it.

00:23:14.880 I like being inside the mind

00:23:16.440 and inside the vision of people

00:23:17.660 who see things entirely differently

00:23:19.740 than I do.

00:23:21.320 But now, because of these restrictions,

00:23:23.940 there's basically no way

00:23:25.060 that anyone can get inside our minds.

00:23:26.460 There's no way that they can experience

00:23:28.000 what it is we see.

00:23:29.180 Because look, the fact of the matter is

00:23:31.000 there are nice people on left and right,

00:23:32.620 you know, in the real world.

00:23:34.080 And there are artists on left and right

00:23:35.340 with talent who can express those visions.

00:23:37.380 But we're not allowed.

00:23:38.740 And the stuff that you're saying

00:23:40.180 about pitch meetings

00:23:40.920 is absolutely endemic to Hollywood.

00:23:44.160 I mean, I've been in lots of pitch meetings

00:23:46.380 and the pitch meetings start out

00:23:48.880 with a conversation

00:23:49.540 about how awful George W. Bush is

00:23:51.920 or, you know, how wonderful Obama is.

00:23:54.000 And if, as I frequently do,

00:23:55.900 you know, I've got a big mouth

00:23:57.040 and if, you know,

00:23:57.800 I would frequently say,

00:23:58.760 well, I'm kind of on the other side

00:24:00.360 of that issue,

00:24:00.960 that was the end of the pitch meeting.

00:24:02.040 And so that creates the atmosphere

00:24:03.480 where everything dies

00:24:04.460 that we want to say.

00:24:05.060 When I was a wee lad,

00:24:06.940 you know, a young actor

00:24:07.720 in a very prestigious acting studio,

00:24:09.680 very serious place,

00:24:10.980 this was not where we were just

00:24:12.160 gabbing about politics or whatever,

00:24:13.740 but it came out.

00:24:14.720 Somehow someone saw something

00:24:15.700 I put on Facebook.

00:24:16.700 This was years and years ago.

00:24:18.080 It came out that I was conservative.

00:24:19.200 We all kind of giggled about it.

00:24:20.300 And the acting teacher called me aside

00:24:23.180 at the end of the class.

00:24:25.340 He goes, Michael, this is just,

00:24:26.560 I'm just giving you

00:24:27.180 a little professional advice.

00:24:28.520 It was a professional,

00:24:29.200 you know, conservatory.

00:24:31.880 Never, never admit that.

00:24:33.440 Never say that.

00:24:34.240 Never admit that.

00:24:35.540 And I sort of laughed at her.

00:24:36.620 She goes, it's not funny.

00:24:38.520 And she wasn't a conservative.

00:24:40.720 She was a liberal too.

00:24:41.420 She goes, never.

00:24:42.360 But she was helping you.

00:24:42.580 And she was helping me.

00:24:43.260 She said, never say that.

00:24:44.580 You won't work.

00:24:45.800 I know conservatives

00:24:47.360 who have said that to actors.

00:24:49.260 You know, conservative actors

00:24:50.980 who said, pulled people aside

00:24:52.640 and said, you know,

00:24:53.060 my friend, you know,

00:24:53.980 keep your mouth shut.

00:24:55.260 100% right.

00:24:55.780 And I think that most Americans

00:24:56.580 are feeling that now.

00:24:57.640 I don't think that it's just relegated.

00:24:58.840 I think what started off in Hollywood

00:25:00.020 and was relegated to Hollywood

00:25:01.060 and the universities,

00:25:02.300 unfortunately,

00:25:02.820 has now spread through

00:25:03.440 nearly every aspect of society.

00:25:05.020 I mean, you dealt with

00:25:05.540 some of it today.

00:25:06.380 Well, yeah.

00:25:06.800 I mean, I trended.

00:25:07.740 The new rule is that in 2021,

00:25:09.280 I will trend every single day.

00:25:11.740 I'm going for the three-peat tomorrow.

00:25:13.280 So I trended yesterday

00:25:14.200 over something dumb.

00:25:14.840 And then I trended today

00:25:15.580 because I wrote the playbook

00:25:17.320 for Politico,

00:25:18.300 which is very bad.

00:25:18.900 I'm not allowed to do that.

00:25:20.540 225 news journalists

00:25:21.700 got on the line to rail

00:25:23.180 at the editorial team

00:25:24.700 for being,

00:25:26.160 for allowing me to write,

00:25:27.440 which is kind of ironic.

00:25:28.480 And they didn't even

00:25:28.980 invite me to the call.

00:25:29.900 I know.

00:25:31.160 They're the objective news journalists,

00:25:32.780 right?

00:25:32.900 You're objective journalism-ing media

00:25:34.420 saying,

00:25:35.420 how dare the op-ed page

00:25:36.800 print something

00:25:37.280 that we disagree with?

00:25:38.220 Well, hold on.

00:25:38.680 Aren't you the objective

00:25:39.360 news journalists?

00:25:40.440 That's right.

00:25:40.960 I mean, that's kind of insane.

00:25:42.160 You're the ones who are just

00:25:42.760 supposed to be covering the facts.

00:25:43.740 And here you are.

00:25:44.480 It is one of the great revelations.

00:25:45.620 One of the great revelations

00:25:47.080 of 2020

00:25:47.680 is that journalists

00:25:49.920 now oppose the First Amendment.

00:25:51.600 Oh, yeah.

00:25:52.380 The people for whom

00:25:53.140 the First Amendment

00:25:53.640 was essentially created

00:25:55.040 are now the people

00:25:56.240 most against it.

00:25:56.940 In fairness,

00:25:57.780 it was a traumatizing article,

00:25:58.940 though.

00:25:59.160 It was.

00:25:59.380 I watched it

00:26:00.080 and I barely could emotionally,

00:26:01.420 I read it,

00:26:02.080 I could barely emotionally recover.

00:26:03.140 He was literally shaking.

00:26:04.200 I was literally,

00:26:05.060 I'm still shaking right now.

00:26:06.260 But this is the thing.

00:26:07.920 We've been,

00:26:08.500 as conservatives,

00:26:09.160 progressively locked out

00:26:10.000 of every single institution,

00:26:11.500 every single one.

00:26:12.200 And so when people say,

00:26:12.860 how do we fight back?

00:26:13.920 The answer is,

00:26:14.700 you can't fight back

00:26:15.320 in one area.

00:26:16.260 Conservatives have basically

00:26:16.980 abandoned every institution

00:26:18.420 and they say,

00:26:18.900 okay,

00:26:19.000 but we'll give money

00:26:19.520 and then we'll vote.

00:26:20.320 And it turns out

00:26:20.920 that that's not enough

00:26:21.680 because where people

00:26:22.640 make up their minds,

00:26:23.380 where people are shaped

00:26:24.100 is in the culture.

00:26:25.440 And, you know,

00:26:25.820 all this is very highfalutin,

00:26:26.980 but we should just remind you

00:26:27.820 that conservatives

00:26:28.320 can make kick-ass content.

00:26:29.560 This is a kick-ass film.

00:26:30.780 You're going to love the film.

00:26:31.840 It's great.

00:26:32.660 And you are going to be

00:26:33.360 doing something good

00:26:34.100 by not only watching it

00:26:35.660 and sharing it with your friends

00:26:36.520 and giving us your membership.

00:26:38.100 You're going to be helping

00:26:38.980 to change all of that

00:26:40.380 because these institutions

00:26:41.540 have to be open

00:26:42.320 and they're not going to open

00:26:43.280 of their own accord.

00:26:44.300 Alternatives have to be built.

00:26:45.740 Replacements have to be built.

00:26:47.040 And you're part of that

00:26:47.840 by watching tonight.

00:26:48.820 Again, it sounds like,

00:26:50.280 you know, an NPR fundraiser,

00:26:51.260 but it is.

00:26:51.920 I mean, we need your help.

00:26:53.620 We need you.

00:26:54.240 Just like NPR requires

00:26:55.580 both your tax dollars

00:26:56.440 and your donations

00:26:57.180 to propagandize to you

00:26:58.500 on the left,

00:26:59.400 we actually do need your help

00:27:01.000 to produce the kind of

00:27:01.760 very expensive content

00:27:02.640 that this movie represents

00:27:03.600 and get the message

00:27:04.720 to your kids in a way

00:27:05.640 that they're actually

00:27:06.160 going to want to watch.

00:27:07.300 And we're going to be producing

00:27:08.040 a wide variety of content.

00:27:09.160 That's our hope.

00:27:09.640 That's our dream.

00:27:10.480 This is just the camel's nose

00:27:11.800 in the tent,

00:27:12.440 which is why you're going to see,

00:27:13.420 I predict over the next week,

00:27:14.440 people react with

00:27:15.660 extraordinary,

00:27:17.020 extraordinary viciousness

00:27:18.740 with regard to this film,

00:27:19.900 with regard to us,

00:27:20.500 with regard to the producers.

00:27:21.500 There's going to be an attempt

00:27:22.400 to quash the film,

00:27:23.440 just like there's an attempt

00:27:24.080 to quash everything else

00:27:25.060 in American life right now

00:27:26.660 that crosses the woke left.

00:27:28.360 And it's time for us all

00:27:29.600 to stand up together

00:27:30.580 and not only say no,

00:27:31.900 but to fight back

00:27:32.620 by building all of these

00:27:33.460 alternative institutions.

00:27:34.500 That's why, listen,

00:27:35.100 I'm not primarily

00:27:37.320 an entertainment guy.

00:27:38.260 I love entertainment.

00:27:38.960 I've seen every Oscar-nominated film

00:27:40.040 since 1933.

00:27:41.320 I'm a TV addict.

00:27:42.320 I wrote a 400-page book

00:27:45.460 on television

00:27:46.000 called Primetime Propaganda.

00:27:47.640 I'm very into this stuff.

00:27:48.920 But that's not primarily

00:27:50.240 what my job in life was to do.

00:27:52.020 Jeremy started off in Hollywood.

00:27:53.320 Clavin started off in Hollywood.

00:27:54.860 Noel started off off-Broadway.

00:27:56.240 Off, off, off-Broadway.

00:27:57.540 Off Brooklyn, actually.

00:27:58.740 It was in Staten Island.

00:27:59.640 Yeah, exactly.

00:27:59.980 If you're asking me for money,

00:28:00.560 I don't know what that was about.

00:28:00.900 At the local repertory theater

00:28:02.080 in Cleveland, Ohio.

00:28:03.240 But the bottom line for me is this.

00:28:06.940 If you are into politics,

00:28:08.040 if you care about our values,

00:28:09.000 you have to go

00:28:09.840 where the eyeballs are.

00:28:11.220 You have to go into

00:28:11.800 every institution.

00:28:12.680 You have to go into

00:28:13.040 corporate America.

00:28:13.640 We've got to build

00:28:13.960 alternative institutions, right?

00:28:15.280 We can't let Amazon Web Services

00:28:16.520 dominate ownership

00:28:18.200 of the means of distribution.

00:28:19.560 We have to build

00:28:20.480 an alternative source of media.

00:28:21.460 That's why Daily Wire exists.

00:28:22.480 It's why our podcasts exist.

00:28:23.700 We have to get into the universities

00:28:25.000 and we have to provide alternatives.

00:28:26.420 We have to provide apprentices.

00:28:27.160 But most of all,

00:28:28.360 the easiest way for people to engage

00:28:29.740 and the thing people engage with most,

00:28:30.980 this is what people forget,

00:28:31.940 the single thing that people engage

00:28:33.260 with most in this country

00:28:34.240 above politics,

00:28:35.240 above church,

00:28:35.800 above anything is entertainment.

00:28:36.840 If you just look at their clocks,

00:28:38.260 people spend hours and hours

00:28:40.200 and hours a day

00:28:41.160 engaging with the kind of content

00:28:42.740 that we are the first

00:28:43.880 to provide on the right.

00:28:45.760 And we're really proud of that.

00:28:46.960 I think you should be proud of that too

00:28:47.820 because you're part of the project.

00:28:48.800 So the film is coming up

00:28:49.560 in seven minutes and 50 seconds.

00:28:51.620 It's that precise.

00:28:52.360 They just told me in my ear.

00:28:53.540 In seven minutes and 46 seconds,

00:28:55.560 we're definitely going to show you

00:28:56.680 the first film that we're releasing,

00:28:59.320 Run, Hide, Fight.

00:28:59.780 But first, I want to talk about

00:29:00.680 our friends over at

00:29:01.380 Bravo Company Manufacturing.

00:29:02.960 True story,

00:29:03.480 we moved eight weeks ago,

00:29:05.260 maybe, to a red state

00:29:07.240 after, for me,

00:29:08.220 a little over 20 years

00:29:09.300 in the People's Republic of California.

00:29:11.240 And listen, I love California.

00:29:12.320 I think it's a beautiful state,

00:29:14.220 beautiful weather.

00:29:14.920 And it used to be

00:29:15.500 the center of the world.

00:29:16.260 That's why we lived there.

00:29:16.940 It was the center

00:29:17.400 of the cultural world.

00:29:18.820 It isn't any longer.

00:29:20.540 So I'm happy to be,

00:29:21.840 I was happy to be there

00:29:22.640 and now I'm happy to be out.

00:29:23.760 One of the first things

00:29:24.500 that I did though

00:29:25.140 when I got out

00:29:25.700 was started thinking about

00:29:26.600 how do I acquire the firearms

00:29:28.440 that I was not allowed to own

00:29:30.400 when I was in California?

00:29:32.320 I think you have a responsibility

00:29:33.700 to own firearms

00:29:35.040 as a man in this country

00:29:36.460 because we have the right

00:29:37.360 and the right is only protected

00:29:38.400 by the expression of that right.

00:29:40.360 I think you therefore

00:29:40.940 also have a responsibility

00:29:41.840 to own a rifle.

00:29:43.800 When the founders

00:29:44.260 wrote the Constitution,

00:29:45.440 the first thing they did

00:29:46.160 was make sacred

00:29:46.760 the rights of the individual

00:29:47.640 to share their ideas

00:29:48.500 without limitation

00:29:49.220 by their government

00:29:50.320 or by Twitter.

00:29:51.480 The second thing they did

00:29:52.580 was secure the right

00:29:53.580 of the individuals

00:29:54.180 to protect that speech

00:29:55.620 and their lives

00:29:56.540 with force if needed.

00:29:57.820 Owning a rifle

00:29:58.320 is a heavy responsibility.

00:29:59.900 Building rifles

00:30:00.540 is no different.

00:30:01.820 Bravo Company Manufacturing

00:30:03.040 or BCM for short.

00:30:04.500 They build a professional

00:30:05.460 grade product

00:30:06.280 that's built to combat standards.

00:30:08.080 That's because BCM believes

00:30:09.240 that the same level

00:30:10.020 of protection

00:30:10.520 should be provided

00:30:11.400 to every American

00:30:12.400 regardless of whether

00:30:13.840 or not you're a private citizen

00:30:14.780 or a professional.

00:30:16.740 The people at BCM assume

00:30:17.940 that when a rifle

00:30:18.800 leaves their shop

00:30:19.660 it will be used

00:30:20.640 in a life or death situation

00:30:22.200 by a responsible citizen,

00:30:23.720 a law enforcement officer,

00:30:25.060 or a soldier overseas.

00:30:27.100 I take it very seriously

00:30:28.240 and I can tell you

00:30:29.380 that since moving

00:30:31.020 to Tennessee

00:30:31.960 I've purchased

00:30:32.740 some rifles

00:30:33.680 from Bravo Company Manufacturing.

00:30:35.620 These things

00:30:36.140 are absolutely fantastic.

00:30:38.740 The mid-16 that they produce

00:30:39.980 is as capable

00:30:41.100 a weapon

00:30:41.900 as made by any manufacturer

00:30:43.440 out there.

00:30:44.040 The people at BCM feel

00:30:45.100 that it's their moral responsibility

00:30:46.980 to Americans

00:30:47.920 to provide tools

00:30:49.080 that will not fail

00:30:49.900 the end user

00:30:50.580 when it's not just

00:30:51.720 a paper target

00:30:52.460 but someone coming

00:30:53.340 to do you harm.

00:30:54.640 BCM also works

00:30:55.540 with leading instructors

00:30:56.380 of marksmanship

00:30:57.100 from top levels

00:30:58.380 of America's

00:30:58.940 Special Operations Forces

00:31:00.000 from Marine Corps

00:31:01.420 Force Reconnaissance

00:31:02.400 to U.S. Army

00:31:02.940 Special Operations Forces

00:31:04.120 connecting them

00:31:05.340 with other Americans.

00:31:06.940 These top instructors

00:31:07.740 teach the skills necessary

00:31:08.920 to defend yourself,

00:31:10.100 to defend your family,

00:31:11.160 and to defend other people.

00:31:12.680 That's what

00:31:13.240 the Second Amendment

00:31:14.000 is all about.

00:31:14.900 It's not about hunting

00:31:16.020 Second Amendment.

00:31:17.140 I mean the idea

00:31:17.580 that you couldn't use a gun

00:31:18.520 to get food

00:31:19.100 wasn't even a concept

00:31:21.000 at the time of the founding.

00:31:22.720 That's not what

00:31:23.180 the Second Amendment is about.

00:31:24.480 It's about your right

00:31:25.240 to protect yourself,

00:31:25.880 to protect your loved ones,

00:31:26.860 to protect your neighbor,

00:31:27.700 and to protect your rights.

00:31:54.120 You should go and get it.

00:31:57.200 So guys,

00:31:57.840 we're just four minutes

00:31:58.580 and 40 seconds away

00:31:59.520 from the Daily Wire premiere

00:32:01.320 of Run, Hide, Fight.

00:32:02.680 I don't say the world premiere

00:32:03.660 because it actually premiered

00:32:04.960 in far more prestigious

00:32:06.120 locales than this

00:32:08.540 at the Venice Film Festival.

00:32:10.160 A lot more people

00:32:10.580 are going to see it tonight.

00:32:11.500 A lot more people

00:32:12.120 are going to see it tonight

00:32:12.880 and almost none of them

00:32:14.400 speak Italian.

00:32:16.160 It's like one.

00:32:17.120 Yeah, one.

00:32:18.500 A ledge.

00:32:18.860 What I want people

00:32:21.160 to be prepared for

00:32:21.860 going into this film

00:32:22.680 and we've talked about it before

00:32:24.200 but I want to speak

00:32:24.720 a little bit more explicitly

00:32:25.500 about it.

00:32:26.320 This film is meant

00:32:27.360 to challenge your notions

00:32:29.760 of what it means

00:32:30.960 to be conservative entertainment.

00:32:33.140 This isn't a movie

00:32:34.080 that you're supposed to watch.

00:32:35.640 It's a movie that we think

00:32:36.680 you will want to watch.

00:32:38.020 It's going to challenge

00:32:39.060 maybe some of your sensibilities

00:32:40.260 about what content should be.

00:32:43.020 The movie is,

00:32:43.640 it's not rated R

00:32:45.120 because that's an MPAA standard

00:32:46.680 but it's TVMA

00:32:48.320 for mature audiences.

00:32:50.040 If you're watching this with,

00:32:51.920 as Ben said,

00:32:52.500 if you're watching this

00:32:53.000 with your children,

00:32:53.820 this is not the film for them.

00:32:55.120 Please change that plan.

00:32:56.780 Send them out of the room.

00:32:57.920 This is a film

00:32:58.480 for young adults and adults

00:32:59.680 that deals with

00:33:01.100 incredibly difficult

00:33:02.320 subject matter

00:33:02.960 and puts very real people

00:33:04.600 into very difficult situations

00:33:06.560 and we get to see

00:33:07.100 the kind of decisions

00:33:07.780 that they make in it.

00:33:08.940 That said,

00:33:09.280 it does contain our values

00:33:11.200 and we're very proud

00:33:12.460 to present the movie to you.

00:33:14.560 We wanted to push the envelope

00:33:15.920 in a way to sort of define

00:33:17.300 the new terms

00:33:18.000 of what we're trying to do.

00:33:19.580 Listen,

00:33:20.020 every film that we produce

00:33:21.620 will not be TVMA.

00:33:22.980 Every television series

00:33:24.220 that we go on to produce,

00:33:25.040 we have a TV series

00:33:26.320 in development right now.

00:33:27.940 We have feature films

00:33:28.920 in development right now.

00:33:30.360 Some of them

00:33:30.860 will be rated

00:33:31.920 much lighter than this.

00:33:33.320 Some of them will appeal

00:33:34.120 to a younger,

00:33:35.340 more family-friendly audience.

00:33:37.400 But we wanted to come

00:33:38.360 right out of the gate

00:33:39.100 and say,

00:33:39.760 this is kind of

00:33:40.300 the outer boundary

00:33:41.140 of what we think

00:33:42.280 can be competitive

00:33:43.920 in the world of entertainment

00:33:45.220 because again,

00:33:45.740 we want to make things

00:33:46.340 that people want to watch.

00:33:47.500 We want to compete

00:33:48.120 for people's time and money

00:33:50.180 when they think about

00:33:51.200 what kind of entertainment

00:33:51.880 they want to engage with.

00:33:53.380 So please bear that in mind

00:33:54.520 as you watch the film.

00:33:56.300 That's in no way an apology.

00:33:58.320 We're proud of the film

00:33:59.420 and we were very deliberate

00:34:00.880 in choosing this to be

00:34:02.140 the first film

00:34:03.120 that we were going to release

00:34:04.060 and we took all of this

00:34:05.120 into consideration

00:34:05.780 when making our determination.

00:34:08.020 It's probably not

00:34:10.340 what you might think of

00:34:12.460 as like a Christian film,

00:34:13.460 but it's more like

00:34:14.480 if you were to actually

00:34:15.020 make a film about the Bible

00:34:16.020 which is about real people

00:34:17.280 who went through real

00:34:18.260 challenging and difficult situations

00:34:20.080 with varying degrees of success.

00:34:23.780 We could not be prouder again

00:34:25.600 of the film

00:34:27.340 and again,

00:34:28.180 we couldn't be prouder

00:34:28.700 of our audience

00:34:29.140 who's come with us

00:34:29.660 on this journey.

00:34:30.260 I mean,

00:34:30.380 we started this company

00:34:31.380 literally in a pool house

00:34:32.540 and now this company

00:34:34.620 has over 100 employees

00:34:35.860 and is producing

00:34:36.680 mainstream entertainment,

00:34:39.100 expensive mainstream entertainment

00:34:40.520 for you to enjoy

00:34:42.360 and for you to spread

00:34:43.700 to your friends.

00:34:44.960 We'd love your help

00:34:45.840 if you've not already

00:34:46.560 become a member,

00:34:47.200 if you're already a member.

00:34:48.340 Thank you so much

00:34:49.420 for joining us on this journey

00:34:50.820 and again,

00:34:51.860 we're ecstatic

00:34:53.380 to bring this to you.

00:34:54.300 It's the culmination

00:34:54.920 of a journey for a lot of us

00:34:56.040 and just the beginning

00:34:56.820 of another journey

00:34:57.540 that I think is going to allow us

00:34:58.620 to really challenge

00:34:59.480 moving forward

00:35:00.620 into a new and difficult era.

00:35:02.840 We're going to have to challenge

00:35:03.520 on every front.

00:35:04.180 I keep saying that over and over,

00:35:05.080 but it's true.

00:35:05.840 There is a wall

00:35:06.420 and we have to start beating

00:35:07.460 against that wall

00:35:08.340 with any hammer we can find

00:35:09.620 and this is a big hammer

00:35:10.740 and we are just beginning

00:35:11.740 to beat away at the wall

00:35:13.180 that the left has built for us

00:35:14.340 to keep us in.

00:35:15.460 It's also essentially

00:35:16.180 a tech play

00:35:16.780 because what we're trying

00:35:17.760 to build is an SVOD platform,

00:35:19.100 a streaming video

00:35:19.780 on demand platform

00:35:20.580 like HBO Max,

00:35:22.120 like Hulu,

00:35:23.080 like Netflix,

00:35:24.800 like Disney+.

00:35:25.680 We have a long way to go

00:35:26.840 to catch up with those guys

00:35:27.940 in terms of the quantity

00:35:29.620 and quality

00:35:30.220 of their entertainment.

00:35:31.740 We're bringing on

00:35:32.240 all sorts of new entertainment,

00:35:33.240 right?

00:35:33.320 We've got Candace's show coming

00:35:34.440 and we're going to be producing

00:35:35.260 new content with me

00:35:36.360 and all sorts of brand new stuff.

00:35:38.020 So it's an exciting time.

00:35:39.140 It is.

00:35:39.620 So head over to

00:35:40.100 dailywire.com

00:35:41.140 slash subscribe.

00:35:42.380 Thank you for joining us

00:35:43.240 here this evening

00:35:43.980 for the Daily Wire premiere

00:35:46.100 of Run, Hide, Fight,

00:35:47.480 the first feature film

00:35:48.360 that we're offering

00:35:49.240 directed by Kyle Rankin.

00:35:50.680 You're absolutely

00:35:51.460 going to love it.

00:35:52.340 It's a legitimate piece of art.

00:35:54.020 We couldn't be prouder

00:35:54.680 to be here.

00:35:55.340 Couldn't be prouder

00:35:55.860 to have you with us

00:35:56.760 on this journey.

00:35:58.280 So sit back, relax,

00:35:59.660 enjoy the film.

00:36:00.200 We'll be back right after

00:36:01.420 to discuss the movie with you.

00:36:02.940 We avoided spoilers.

00:36:04.920 Oh my God.

00:36:07.880 The movie's ready.

00:36:08.820 You're serious about

00:36:09.800 your film watching.

00:36:10.440 In a movie theater,

00:36:11.280 that would cost you $400.

00:36:12.700 Let's do this thing.

00:36:13.520 Here we go.

00:36:14.300 This is high school.

00:36:15.640 Nothing that happens

00:36:16.480 here matters in the real world.

00:36:20.820 Get down on the ground!

00:36:22.880 Very disturbing news

00:36:24.400 out of Vernon Central High School.

00:36:26.520 Zoe,

00:36:27.960 take a shot.

00:36:28.840 Is it safe to say

00:36:31.600 that this might be

00:36:32.260 our guardian angel?

00:36:33.260 Do you want more people

00:36:34.240 to die?

00:36:35.940 Isn't it ironic

00:36:36.780 that after all your hard work,

00:36:39.240 people aren't going

00:36:40.180 to remember you?

00:36:41.480 No.

00:36:42.500 They're going to remember me.

00:36:43.960 Well, welcome back

00:36:49.940 to the Daily Wire backstage

00:36:51.100 and the Daily Wire premiere

00:36:52.420 of Run, Hide, Fight,

00:36:53.900 the first feature film

00:36:54.740 that we're releasing

00:36:55.460 as part of our new

00:36:56.920 entertainment initiative.

00:36:58.000 We are joined now

00:36:59.020 by the film's producer,

00:37:02.040 Dallas Sonnier,

00:37:02.840 and the film's writer

00:37:03.580 and director,

00:37:04.340 Kyle Rankin.

00:37:04.880 Guys, congratulations

00:37:05.560 on an awesome film

00:37:07.240 and our condolences

00:37:08.120 on having to release it

00:37:09.040 with us.

00:37:09.400 Thank you.

00:37:12.500 It's a terrific film.

00:37:14.020 We had over 70,000 people

00:37:15.540 watching the film live,

00:37:17.340 probably got up to 100,000

00:37:18.460 by the time it hit its peak.

00:37:21.640 And so far,

00:37:22.680 all the comments

00:37:23.220 just overwhelmingly supportive.

00:37:25.060 I think, you know,

00:37:25.900 one thing that happens

00:37:26.900 on our side

00:37:27.820 of the political conversation

00:37:28.760 is if anyone talks

00:37:29.780 to us at all,

00:37:30.400 we're fairly happy.

00:37:31.940 So we appreciate you guys

00:37:33.500 sharing your talents

00:37:34.240 and sharing your film with us.

00:37:36.700 Talk to us a little bit

00:37:37.320 about how the picture

00:37:38.160 came to be.

00:37:39.400 Yeah.

00:37:41.060 Kyle wrote a script

00:37:42.220 and it was really well received

00:37:44.900 by a lot of people

00:37:46.500 in Hollywood,

00:37:47.120 including a bunch

00:37:48.300 of big studios.

00:37:49.420 Yeah.

00:37:50.120 And the way it's been told

00:37:51.580 to me by his agent

00:37:52.760 was one of them

00:37:54.900 was about to make

00:37:55.880 a big offer

00:37:56.480 to put the movie

00:37:57.720 into development

00:37:59.100 and production.

00:38:00.680 Parkland happened.

00:38:01.900 They backed away

00:38:03.140 like Homer Simpson

00:38:04.340 into the bush.

00:38:06.120 And that's when

00:38:08.160 I get the phone call

00:38:09.040 as when I always

00:38:09.880 get the phone call

00:38:10.680 when the script

00:38:12.660 is great,

00:38:13.240 the agent is confident,

00:38:14.180 but they need someone

00:38:15.300 crazy enough

00:38:15.900 to make it.

00:38:17.180 And so that's when

00:38:17.640 I read the script

00:38:18.960 and I read it

00:38:19.920 and I just loved it.

00:38:21.860 It had such a connection

00:38:23.780 to some of the

00:38:24.540 personal tragedies

00:38:25.540 in my own life.

00:38:26.480 And I basically put

00:38:30.040 my whole career

00:38:31.060 and my company

00:38:32.880 and my reputation

00:38:35.820 as a producer.

00:38:36.620 I heard you mortgaged

00:38:37.280 your house.

00:38:38.440 I have mortgaged

00:38:39.920 my house for movies

00:38:40.900 before.

00:38:42.740 But in this case,

00:38:44.180 I literally raised money

00:38:45.360 for the movie

00:38:46.700 to do it as independently

00:38:48.060 as humanly possible

00:38:49.100 because I knew

00:38:49.820 we couldn't have

00:38:50.700 any input

00:38:52.280 from Hollywood,

00:38:53.040 from big Hollywood

00:38:54.120 mainstream producers.

00:38:56.820 And I was able

00:38:58.060 to sort of

00:38:58.680 create a sandbox

00:39:00.060 for Kyle

00:39:00.840 to give him

00:39:01.360 as much creative control

00:39:02.440 as humanly possible.

00:39:03.520 And I think that's

00:39:04.580 why the movie

00:39:05.080 is so good.

00:39:05.880 It's a really daring

00:39:06.800 piece of subject matter.

00:39:08.040 I mean,

00:39:08.260 obviously,

00:39:09.320 so daring

00:39:10.460 that it didn't find

00:39:11.620 a home in Hollywood

00:39:12.320 despite the quality

00:39:13.100 of the script

00:39:13.700 and what went on

00:39:14.600 to be the quality

00:39:15.120 of your directing.

00:39:16.820 What gave you

00:39:18.700 the sort of confidence

00:39:19.760 to tackle something

00:39:20.600 like this as a writer?

00:39:22.640 Probably my wife

00:39:23.620 reminding me,

00:39:24.740 you know,

00:39:24.900 she would say to me

00:39:26.640 that I kept bringing it up

00:39:27.920 and talking about

00:39:28.480 different scenes

00:39:29.100 and this one percolated

00:39:30.540 maybe for five

00:39:31.720 or six years

00:39:32.340 and I was a bit

00:39:33.560 scared of it.

00:39:34.900 I was worried

00:39:36.080 about it being taboo

00:39:37.660 or being seen

00:39:38.360 as, you know,

00:39:39.780 disrespectful to

00:39:41.620 victims of shootings

00:39:42.500 and that kind of thing.

00:39:43.820 And I would see

00:39:44.440 different movies released

00:39:45.580 that tended to

00:39:46.320 follow the shooters

00:39:47.160 and, you know,

00:39:48.120 their horrible family lives

00:39:50.080 and those were received well

00:39:52.980 and I didn't really

00:39:53.520 understand that.

00:39:54.220 I was kind of like,

00:39:54.700 why are we following

00:39:55.460 the perpetrators?

00:39:56.440 I didn't,

00:39:57.580 that didn't jive with me.

00:39:59.060 So, yeah,

00:40:00.160 it just felt right

00:40:00.900 and she gave me

00:40:01.600 the confidence to,

00:40:02.800 you know,

00:40:03.380 to dive in.

00:40:06.040 It is one of the

00:40:06.540 beautiful things

00:40:07.020 about the film

00:40:07.640 is it's not sympathetic

00:40:09.020 to the shooters.

00:40:10.360 One of the things

00:40:10.760 that drew Ben and I

00:40:11.660 to the movie

00:40:12.600 when we first watched it

00:40:13.640 and we're trying to decide

00:40:14.380 does it make sense

00:40:14.940 for our platform

00:40:15.640 is that the Daily Wire

00:40:16.840 was one of the very first

00:40:18.060 publications in the country

00:40:19.680 to announce that we

00:40:20.640 wouldn't publish

00:40:21.720 the names of school shooters

00:40:22.760 or mass shooters generally

00:40:24.040 because so many of them

00:40:25.180 are after notoriety.

00:40:27.320 In some ways,

00:40:28.100 we feed that as a...

00:40:29.020 Which is one of the themes

00:40:29.720 of the film.

00:40:30.260 I mean, obviously,

00:40:30.960 a huge theme in the film

00:40:31.820 is how social media

00:40:33.340 tends to generate

00:40:34.440 this kind of horrific behavior

00:40:36.040 and reward this kind

00:40:36.900 of horrific behavior.

00:40:38.520 How much were you thinking

00:40:39.280 about that when you wrote

00:40:40.060 and directed the film?

00:40:42.940 A bit.

00:40:43.700 You know,

00:40:43.900 I wish I could take credit

00:40:44.920 for you don't know

00:40:47.560 and I don't know

00:40:48.260 if you feel this too, Drew,

00:40:49.060 but you don't know

00:40:49.500 where your ideas

00:40:50.140 come from sometimes.

00:40:52.240 You know,

00:40:52.600 I remember waking up

00:40:54.220 at like two or three

00:40:54.840 in the morning

00:40:55.240 and just scrolling

00:40:55.920 on the bedside table.

00:40:57.780 They're not going

00:40:58.340 to remember you.

00:40:58.880 They're going to remember me

00:40:59.800 and then falling back.

00:41:00.880 You know,

00:41:01.060 I don't know

00:41:01.700 where the heck

00:41:02.640 it came from,

00:41:03.380 but I was sure glad

00:41:05.660 that it came

00:41:06.220 and when I'm writing

00:41:07.460 something,

00:41:08.220 you know,

00:41:08.400 you very much just get,

00:41:09.660 you're thinking about it

00:41:10.360 all the time

00:41:11.120 and it's always,

00:41:11.880 it's a program running,

00:41:13.020 you know,

00:41:13.280 in the background

00:41:13.920 kind of thing.

00:41:15.720 So,

00:41:16.320 I guess they're gifts

00:41:18.200 and I'm just thankful

00:41:19.100 that some of those lines come

00:41:20.540 and,

00:41:21.260 um,

00:41:22.460 Drew gets all of his ideas

00:41:23.960 from me.

00:41:25.260 It's a little different.

00:41:25.980 It's true.

00:41:26.340 I creep into his bed

00:41:27.740 and take the notes off.

00:41:29.800 I could have sworn

00:41:30.580 I scrawled something.

00:41:32.680 Did you,

00:41:33.480 I have run into myself

00:41:35.400 the absolute lockdown

00:41:37.220 on the idea

00:41:38.700 of school shootings,

00:41:39.680 which is just a kind

00:41:41.060 of groupthink

00:41:42.040 in Hollywood.

00:41:42.880 They'll make a movie

00:41:43.500 about the Holocaust,

00:41:44.580 which was pretty bad.

00:41:45.780 You know,

00:41:45.940 that's a bad thing

00:41:46.540 and school shootings

00:41:48.040 were a bad thing,

00:41:48.780 but for some reason

00:41:49.340 school shootings

00:41:49.980 were absolutely taboo

00:41:51.520 and they would tell you

00:41:52.460 out of the gate,

00:41:53.580 don't do it.

00:41:54.380 Had you run into that

00:41:55.240 before you wrote the script

00:41:56.380 or did you know?

00:41:57.300 No,

00:41:57.560 I think in my ignorance

00:41:58.400 I didn't talk to enough

00:41:59.520 people who said no.

00:42:00.720 Yeah.

00:42:01.880 Yeah,

00:42:02.320 like I said,

00:42:02.720 my wife encouraged me

00:42:03.700 and I,

00:42:04.480 I kept the idea

00:42:05.660 very secret.

00:42:06.900 I also,

00:42:07.680 I didn't want to present,

00:42:08.920 I didn't never,

00:42:09.480 I knew I didn't want

00:42:10.060 to pitch the idea

00:42:10.760 because then someone

00:42:11.380 can just dismiss it

00:42:12.260 out of hand.

00:42:12.620 I'm like,

00:42:12.840 I want a really great script

00:42:14.380 that gets someone

00:42:16.300 turning pages.

00:42:18.660 My manager gave me

00:42:19.720 a great piece of advice

00:42:21.220 and he's like,

00:42:21.960 I know you're going

00:42:22.460 to direct it,

00:42:23.040 but write it for a director

00:42:24.200 that you admire.

00:42:25.000 So I kind of wrote it

00:42:25.700 with Catherine Bigelow

00:42:26.780 in mind.

00:42:27.300 I just thought

00:42:27.660 it should be great.

00:42:28.480 So it was cool

00:42:29.620 to any screenwriters

00:42:31.880 out there.

00:42:32.320 It's just a cool thing

00:42:33.180 to,

00:42:33.600 I'm like,

00:42:33.920 I want Catherine

00:42:34.540 just turning every page.

00:42:35.680 I'm like,

00:42:35.900 where is this going?

00:42:37.100 And that was really fun

00:42:38.380 and I found that

00:42:39.720 yeah,

00:42:40.980 I fell in love

00:42:41.500 with it along the way too.

00:42:42.840 So Dallas,

00:42:43.540 the casting of the movie,

00:42:44.720 how did that go?

00:42:45.480 Because there's a lot

00:42:46.280 of people in this film

00:42:46.980 that people have seen,

00:42:48.540 there are a lot of people

00:42:49.100 people haven't seen

00:42:49.960 and some of the newcomers

00:42:51.200 are just,

00:42:52.100 they blow you away

00:42:52.900 with the performances.

00:42:54.320 I mean,

00:42:54.520 the guy who plays

00:42:55.200 the villain is unbelievable

00:42:56.100 and obviously Isabel's unbelievable.

00:42:57.580 Where did you come up

00:42:58.280 with these folks?

00:42:59.180 Yeah,

00:42:59.540 I mean,

00:43:00.060 it's all started

00:43:01.660 with Thomas Jane

00:43:02.480 who has become

00:43:03.400 a friend of mine.

00:43:04.020 He was a big fan

00:43:05.160 of the movies

00:43:06.160 we've made

00:43:06.620 like Bone Tomahawk

00:43:07.600 and Brawl

00:43:08.000 and Cell Block 99,

00:43:09.220 Dragged Across Concrete,

00:43:10.480 the Zoller movies.

00:43:12.060 And so he really

00:43:13.160 anchored the cast

00:43:14.020 and once I had him

00:43:15.160 I was able to

00:43:16.720 propel some of the money

00:43:18.220 conversations

00:43:18.940 and things like that.

00:43:20.340 He validated the cast

00:43:22.540 in the movie

00:43:23.520 to other cast members,

00:43:24.900 especially younger people.

00:43:26.680 We have the greatest

00:43:27.720 casting director

00:43:28.500 in the world,

00:43:29.060 his name is David Guglielmo.

00:43:30.780 Don't steal him from me,

00:43:32.340 guys.

00:43:33.760 But he's terrific

00:43:34.980 and he set up auditions,

00:43:37.620 brought Kyle in the room

00:43:38.440 just like a traditional

00:43:39.420 casting session

00:43:40.540 but we had already

00:43:41.760 had our eye on Isabel

00:43:42.740 for a while.

00:43:43.760 She had come in

00:43:44.320 on other movies of ours

00:43:45.560 and we saw

00:43:46.520 a real talent in her

00:43:47.840 and so we were excited

00:43:50.620 when Kyle responded

00:43:51.880 so positively to her

00:43:53.520 and she quickly

00:43:54.420 became Zoe.

00:43:56.400 What has Eli done

00:43:57.200 before this film?

00:43:58.920 So Eli Brown

00:43:59.900 who plays Tristan,

00:44:01.220 the villain,

00:44:01.820 he has been

00:44:03.980 on a couple of

00:44:05.280 sort of the younger

00:44:07.500 teen shows.

00:44:10.180 He's about to be

00:44:12.240 on the new remake

00:44:13.360 of Gossip Girl

00:44:14.080 but really so many

00:44:15.600 of these kids

00:44:16.180 were extremely young.

00:44:18.100 Their credits

00:44:18.600 were not very deep

00:44:20.340 in terms of their IMDBs

00:44:21.620 and things like that.

00:44:22.880 A lot of newcomers,

00:44:23.940 things like that

00:44:24.400 but we just put them

00:44:25.100 all together

00:44:25.640 and we gave them

00:44:27.460 some time

00:44:28.040 to sort of get

00:44:28.520 to know each other

00:44:29.140 and become friends

00:44:29.920 and they would hang

00:44:30.900 out in the hotel

00:44:31.540 together every night

00:44:32.520 and stuff like that

00:44:33.180 so there's a real

00:44:34.100 camaraderie

00:44:34.660 and they're still

00:44:35.160 all best friends.

00:44:36.120 They're all texting

00:44:37.480 and tweeting

00:44:37.900 each other tonight

00:44:38.700 so they're really

00:44:39.540 proud of this premiere

00:44:41.060 and really happy.

00:44:41.960 Can I ask,

00:44:42.580 you've made a couple

00:44:43.860 of pictures

00:44:44.220 that I just have

00:44:44.940 really enjoyed.

00:44:45.700 Bone Tomahawk

00:44:46.320 you mentioned

00:44:46.840 and the Cell Block

00:44:48.760 really enjoyable film

00:44:50.600 but those are films

00:44:51.580 you must have known

00:44:53.340 coming out of the block

00:44:54.200 that you were going up

00:44:55.040 against the Hollywood wall

00:44:57.300 of political correctness.

00:44:59.420 Did you know that

00:45:00.320 or were you,

00:45:01.720 you were saying

00:45:02.640 that you were surprised

00:45:04.400 you actually kept it

00:45:05.360 to yourself

00:45:05.880 but you must have known

00:45:07.560 that you were going up

00:45:08.320 against the wall.

00:45:08.860 Yeah, I don't keep it

00:45:09.580 to myself.

00:45:10.900 That's one of my strengths

00:45:12.180 and greatest weaknesses.

00:45:13.560 I grew up in the 80s

00:45:17.880 on the Jerry Bruckheimer

00:45:18.880 movies and although

00:45:20.520 I wasn't around

00:45:21.280 I was very inspired

00:45:22.100 by Robert Evans

00:45:22.920 and reading

00:45:23.940 Kid Stays in the Picture

00:45:24.900 and all those

00:45:25.500 great movies

00:45:27.060 that he oversaw

00:45:28.200 and so I stayed the same.

00:45:31.740 The world went left,

00:45:33.200 right?

00:45:33.540 I stayed here

00:45:34.500 and so I'm simply

00:45:35.660 making the movies

00:45:36.460 that I grew up loving

00:45:37.320 and continue to love

00:45:38.320 as an audience member

00:45:39.300 but what it has,

00:45:41.420 there cannot be

00:45:42.940 a compromise

00:45:43.520 and so my goal

00:45:46.480 is to set up

00:45:47.340 the production

00:45:48.260 and the financing

00:45:49.620 in a way

00:45:50.840 with foreign sales

00:45:51.960 and a domestic deal

00:45:53.080 and certain formulas

00:45:55.280 on what the marketing

00:45:56.360 and the budget

00:45:56.760 is going to be

00:45:57.340 so that I can transfer

00:45:59.780 absolute total

00:46:01.020 creative control

00:46:01.860 over to the filmmaker.

00:46:03.280 That is the way

00:46:04.780 it was done

00:46:05.420 in my opinion

00:46:06.580 correctly in the past,

00:46:08.420 long ago in the past

00:46:10.040 and the corporatization

00:46:11.520 of Hollywood

00:46:12.060 has really messed

00:46:12.820 that up

00:46:13.300 so I think

00:46:14.400 there's been

00:46:14.920 some great stuff

00:46:15.660 out of Hollywood

00:46:16.280 over the past

00:46:17.520 several years

00:46:18.300 but really to me

00:46:20.140 I seek

00:46:21.140 his movie

00:46:22.340 not my movie

00:46:23.700 ever

00:46:24.200 and I think

00:46:24.880 that's my

00:46:25.460 flag in the sand.

00:46:27.340 That's very smart.

00:46:28.160 Yeah.

00:46:28.620 Yeah, our first

00:46:29.200 telephone call

00:46:30.120 you said the magic words

00:46:31.660 where you're like

00:46:32.040 I have no notes

00:46:32.960 let's just make your script.

00:46:35.240 That's a line

00:46:35.900 now I can't use it anymore.

00:46:37.560 Yeah, that's effective.

00:46:40.980 You subtly make

00:46:42.200 your notes over time.

00:46:44.160 I got my eyes on you.

00:46:46.180 So we're going to

00:46:47.460 speak to

00:46:48.280 Alicia Krause

00:46:49.120 who is talking

00:46:49.680 to our

00:46:49.960 DailyWire.com

00:46:51.340 subscribers

00:46:51.840 and taking their

00:46:52.740 questions throughout

00:46:53.420 the night.

00:46:54.040 We want to be sure

00:46:54.560 and answer some

00:46:55.020 of their questions

00:46:55.480 there who made it

00:46:55.960 possible for us

00:46:56.560 to release the film.

00:46:58.620 If you're not a member

00:46:59.640 you can head over

00:47:00.180 to DailyWire.com

00:47:01.140 slash subscribe

00:47:02.240 and become one

00:47:02.880 right now.

00:47:03.780 The more people subscribe

00:47:04.740 the more films

00:47:05.320 we're going to make

00:47:06.340 we think that this is

00:47:07.200 this is the next

00:47:08.480 frontier for the DailyWire

00:47:09.500 and definitely

00:47:10.060 a part of the

00:47:11.800 political fight

00:47:12.500 from our point of view

00:47:13.660 it's not what you guys

00:47:14.320 got into it for

00:47:14.900 but from our point of view

00:47:15.680 it's a part of the

00:47:16.180 political fight

00:47:16.700 that we're waging

00:47:17.300 that we need to bring

00:47:18.440 some balance

00:47:18.920 into the culture

00:47:19.520 and that's what

00:47:20.540 we hope to do.

00:47:21.360 Do we have you Alicia?

00:47:23.180 Yeah, I'm here guys.

00:47:24.260 Thanks so much

00:47:24.860 and I hope that

00:47:25.420 everybody enjoyed

00:47:26.040 the premiere

00:47:26.400 as much as I did.

00:47:27.780 First question

00:47:28.420 if I can toss it

00:47:29.320 over to Dallas.

00:47:30.400 Somebody wants to know

00:47:31.200 if this film

00:47:31.980 was meant to carry

00:47:32.820 a conservative message

00:47:34.080 from the start

00:47:34.880 or did the storyline

00:47:36.080 and messaging

00:47:36.780 just kind of happen

00:47:37.820 naturally

00:47:38.300 and maybe Kyle

00:47:39.160 could give feedback

00:47:40.300 on that too

00:47:40.880 since he's the guy

00:47:41.800 that wrote the script.

00:47:42.980 Sure.

00:47:44.140 I am a proud

00:47:46.260 openly conservative

00:47:47.760 movie producer

00:47:48.740 and I never intended

00:47:51.380 to be that vocal

00:47:53.640 about it

00:47:54.160 but such is life

00:47:55.960 and I'm enjoying

00:47:57.480 the ride.

00:47:58.740 I never would make

00:48:00.160 a movie

00:48:00.560 for political purposes.

00:48:02.100 I feel like

00:48:03.040 movies have been

00:48:04.540 political

00:48:04.900 for generations

00:48:06.340 but I feel like

00:48:07.300 when things get

00:48:08.000 overtly political

00:48:08.940 or agenda pushing

00:48:10.860 I tend to believe

00:48:12.640 that it hurts

00:48:13.240 the artwork.

00:48:14.540 So again

00:48:15.540 my goal

00:48:17.320 is to keep

00:48:17.880 everything

00:48:18.360 level playing field

00:48:19.600 focus on the movie

00:48:20.700 itself

00:48:21.180 make great entertainment

00:48:22.260 if the audience

00:48:23.720 It's not propaganda.

00:48:24.900 Yeah, there's no

00:48:25.640 propaganda in the movie

00:48:26.720 there was never

00:48:27.380 our intention

00:48:28.340 was to make

00:48:28.920 a great movie

00:48:29.500 and that's what we did.

00:48:30.420 So if the marketplace

00:48:35.780 or the audience

00:48:37.300 determines

00:48:38.200 that the movie

00:48:39.680 is more conservative

00:48:40.860 in its values

00:48:41.760 or matrix

00:48:42.540 or DNA

00:48:43.600 then so be it.

00:48:45.280 That's fine with me

00:48:47.560 but it's not a goal

00:48:49.080 of mine

00:48:49.440 to make conservative

00:48:50.180 movies per se.

00:48:51.740 Someone has to be

00:48:52.340 a conservative filmmaker.

00:48:54.100 I am who I am.

00:48:55.160 I think the themes

00:48:56.920 in the movie

00:48:57.980 are big

00:48:59.300 human themes

00:49:01.180 and to my mind

00:49:02.680 they're above politics

00:49:03.780 or as you guys

00:49:04.480 might say

00:49:04.800 they are upstream

00:49:05.860 maybe of politics

00:49:07.000 but I wanted to write

00:49:08.760 something about bravery

00:49:09.720 and selflessness

00:49:11.220 and self-reliance

00:49:13.320 and putting others

00:49:14.980 ahead of yourself.

00:49:17.240 Something that I love

00:49:18.280 about the movie

00:49:19.060 is it's not just

00:49:21.780 Isabel's Zoe.

00:49:22.840 If you watch the movie

00:49:23.980 and just look at

00:49:24.540 all the bits of bravery

00:49:25.640 there is the woman

00:49:27.740 in the cafeteria.

00:49:28.900 The lunch lady

00:49:29.480 is actually one of my

00:49:30.580 three favorite moments

00:49:31.800 in the film.

00:49:32.400 Yeah, mine too.

00:49:33.120 Such a selfless moment

00:49:34.140 and she delivers it

00:49:35.240 very well.

00:49:35.800 Yeah, and I love

00:49:36.420 her friend outside

00:49:38.040 when she's like

00:49:38.540 a lot of them don't know

00:49:39.360 and she's like

00:49:39.580 okay.

00:49:40.000 It's like what?

00:49:40.780 You're just going to

00:49:41.520 come with me

00:49:41.960 on this potentially

00:49:43.280 deadly mission.

00:49:44.400 I love that.

00:49:46.960 Like Mr. Rogers

00:49:47.820 would say

00:49:48.280 look for the helpers

00:49:49.360 and I think a lot

00:49:50.620 I believe

00:49:51.260 in the human spirit

00:49:52.540 and a lot of people

00:49:53.140 are out there

00:49:53.620 ready to be heroic

00:49:54.940 if given the opportunity

00:49:56.260 so I wanted to

00:49:58.020 highlight that.

00:50:00.240 I mean

00:50:00.380 personally

00:50:01.480 I don't know

00:50:02.700 I'd love to start

00:50:04.560 a third political party

00:50:05.540 called The Contrarians.

00:50:07.500 You'd be in the right place.

00:50:08.780 Can't agree

00:50:09.200 on a time to meet though.

00:50:13.560 But you know

00:50:14.420 this is one of the things

00:50:15.300 I actually loved

00:50:16.040 about the film.

00:50:16.640 I have no idea

00:50:17.680 how you vote.

00:50:18.220 I don't want to know.

00:50:19.200 I don't care.

00:50:20.040 I really don't care.

00:50:21.180 I mean I do

00:50:21.600 but I just don't want

00:50:22.740 I don't want voices silenced.

00:50:24.800 I don't want characters

00:50:25.640 cut out.

00:50:26.780 I want all the people

00:50:27.660 who are in this country

00:50:28.560 and in this world

00:50:29.260 to be on the screen

00:50:31.340 and that's what you did.

00:50:32.420 You gave us all the people

00:50:33.260 and that's all

00:50:34.000 I think real conservatives

00:50:35.440 are looking for.

00:50:36.240 I took a great

00:50:36.780 screenwriting course

00:50:37.880 you know 20 years ago

00:50:38.860 and the first

00:50:39.980 the instructor said

00:50:41.560 you know

00:50:41.780 write three pages

00:50:42.620 about a real pet peeve

00:50:43.520 of yours

00:50:43.800 something you really

00:50:44.580 feel strongly about

00:50:45.360 you really hate

00:50:46.740 and you wish people

00:50:47.420 would stop doing

00:50:48.060 and I think you know

00:50:48.640 mine was on

00:50:49.320 three pages on littering

00:50:50.680 and we all showed up

00:50:52.980 ready to turn it in

00:50:53.880 and the instructor

00:50:54.980 was like okay

00:50:55.640 I don't even want

00:50:56.580 to see them

00:50:57.020 but now write three pages

00:50:58.180 about the other side.

00:51:01.060 You're now pro

00:51:01.880 whatever you just wrote

00:51:02.840 and I'm like what?

00:51:04.160 And you know

00:51:04.740 the instructor was trying

00:51:06.100 to teach us to

00:51:06.960 I do think

00:51:08.400 it shouldn't matter

00:51:10.100 and I will never be

00:51:11.220 one of those Hollywood people

00:51:12.180 that talks

00:51:13.400 my personal politics

00:51:15.460 because I would like

00:51:17.000 to be you know

00:51:17.720 above and between them

00:51:18.800 and see all sides

00:51:19.880 because then

00:51:20.400 that exercise taught me

00:51:22.260 that when I had people

00:51:23.760 you should be able

00:51:24.600 to steel ban

00:51:25.240 all sides

00:51:26.240 as a writer

00:51:26.900 so that you can have

00:51:27.740 people arguing

00:51:28.380 and going in different

00:51:29.540 shooting off

00:51:29.980 in different directions

00:51:30.680 the way people do

00:51:31.400 and I'm far more

00:51:32.700 interested in the gray

00:51:33.980 of life

00:51:35.020 not just the

00:51:35.780 everyone is so scared

00:51:38.500 of the gray

00:51:39.200 and I think we need

00:51:39.840 to lean into that

00:51:40.820 and personally

00:51:42.320 Alicia

00:51:43.820 All right

00:51:45.140 the title font

00:51:46.000 of the film

00:51:46.640 according to another

00:51:47.360 Daily Wire member

00:51:48.260 they said was very

00:51:49.380 Red Dawn

00:51:50.160 which of course

00:51:50.700 is another iconic movie

00:51:51.780 about high schoolers

00:51:52.680 versus bad guys

00:51:53.580 was that intentional?

00:51:56.700 Oh

00:51:56.800 I don't know

00:51:57.620 about the title font

00:51:58.220 but I love John Milius

00:51:59.340 I love Red Dawn

00:52:00.380 I remember watching

00:52:01.840 with my brothers

00:52:03.220 you know

00:52:03.520 those paratroopers

00:52:04.540 coming down

00:52:05.120 in the back

00:52:06.780 of the history class

00:52:07.560 I mean

00:52:07.860 would John Milius

00:52:10.040 even be working today?

00:52:11.120 He's amazing

00:52:12.120 and he should

00:52:12.680 he should be

00:52:13.960 but the atmosphere

00:52:15.680 Well I mean

00:52:16.180 they remade Red Dawn

00:52:17.020 and then they

00:52:17.480 wouldn't even make it

00:52:18.200 the Chinese

00:52:18.640 they made it

00:52:19.280 the North Koreans

00:52:19.780 just to please

00:52:20.280 the Chinese movie market

00:52:21.300 They shot the film

00:52:22.560 with the Chinese

00:52:23.080 and then they

00:52:23.940 went back

00:52:24.500 and they revised

00:52:24.960 all the footage

00:52:25.540 What if a country

00:52:26.980 whose entire adult population

00:52:28.700 is starving

00:52:30.200 somehow invaded

00:52:31.580 the life of the state

00:52:32.460 I do think though

00:52:36.560 that you know

00:52:37.380 first of all

00:52:37.900 I love the internet

00:52:38.520 because only on the internet

00:52:39.540 does someone

00:52:40.320 connect the font choices

00:52:42.380 from this film

00:52:43.480 to another film

00:52:43.960 and what I love

00:52:45.380 about it too

00:52:45.800 is that it

00:52:46.160 it's probably true

00:52:47.540 on some unconscious level

00:52:49.600 where we've all been informed

00:52:51.180 by the art

00:52:52.120 that we've consumed

00:52:52.740 over time

00:52:53.300 and there is a connection

00:52:54.360 between this film

00:52:55.120 and Red Dawn

00:52:56.060 maybe on some

00:52:57.240 some far off level

00:52:59.800 on a Jungian

00:53:00.200 Jordan Peterson

00:53:00.920 Jordan Peterson

00:53:02.580 would definitely

00:53:03.140 do more worth it

00:53:04.060 Alicia

00:53:04.720 All right

00:53:06.160 Can you guys name

00:53:07.320 a couple of your

00:53:07.960 favorite movies

00:53:08.600 that have inspired you

00:53:09.880 as filmmakers

00:53:10.640 Sure

00:53:13.880 Night of the Hunter

00:53:16.000 I love

00:53:18.500 I tend to

00:53:19.160 really cleave

00:53:20.320 toward things

00:53:20.760 in the 70s

00:53:21.420 and I think

00:53:21.760 because the studios

00:53:22.880 gave the filmmakers

00:53:23.740 the keys

00:53:24.380 and said

00:53:24.840 maybe you guys

00:53:25.660 know better

00:53:26.060 and then

00:53:26.780 in the late 70s

00:53:28.680 they ripped them

00:53:29.500 out of their hands

00:53:30.580 but there's

00:53:31.620 five easy pieces

00:53:32.920 I do think

00:53:34.780 when you're

00:53:35.140 I don't watch

00:53:36.240 a lot of modern things

00:53:37.060 I tend to go back

00:53:37.700 to the seminal things

00:53:39.240 and before I did

00:53:41.320 shot this movie

00:53:42.480 and I gave a list

00:53:43.340 to Isabel

00:53:44.000 and to Ollie

00:53:44.820 who plays Louis

00:53:46.520 you know

00:53:47.960 things on there

00:53:48.420 like Deliverance

00:53:49.460 and Dog Day Afternoon

00:53:51.300 a lot of things

00:53:52.480 that these young actors

00:53:53.520 had not seen

00:53:54.420 and it was so fun

00:53:55.480 because Isabel

00:53:55.900 I remember

00:53:56.180 we were in the ravine

00:53:56.980 and when she was

00:53:58.260 the final scene

00:53:59.560 with Tristan

00:54:01.860 with Eli

00:54:02.700 and she's like

00:54:03.180 oh I had Deliverance

00:54:03.920 this morning

00:54:04.320 and I think

00:54:04.600 we were like

00:54:04.920 in this freezing ravine

00:54:07.200 and I was like

00:54:07.940 it was awesome

00:54:09.020 you know

00:54:09.360 it was so fun

00:54:11.280 one of the most

00:54:12.700 enjoyable moments

00:54:13.600 of 2020 for me

00:54:14.540 and I know

00:54:16.040 it was a terrible year

00:54:16.700 for almost everyone

00:54:17.360 but it was like

00:54:17.780 maybe the best year

00:54:18.980 of my life

00:54:19.500 you know

00:54:19.820 business did well

00:54:21.340 my marriage did well

00:54:22.180 I adopted a kid

00:54:22.900 I had a great time

00:54:23.880 in 2020

00:54:24.840 other than

00:54:25.840 just all the chaos

00:54:27.000 the end of the world

00:54:27.840 other than that

00:54:28.420 nothing else matters

00:54:30.280 it was good for you

00:54:30.840 it was fine

00:54:31.240 you know

00:54:31.400 that's the important thing

00:54:32.140 yeah yeah

00:54:32.840 but one of the great moments

00:54:34.600 was that our friend

00:54:35.440 John Voight

00:54:35.860 had stopped by our office

00:54:37.480 and sometimes

00:54:38.640 John would just like

00:54:39.240 stop by and bring you

00:54:39.940 a treat

00:54:40.320 like a nice cheesecake

00:54:41.460 or something

00:54:42.040 hey lad

00:54:43.060 I brought you a cheesecake

00:54:43.940 hey John Voight

00:54:44.940 thank you

00:54:45.760 for the cheesecake

00:54:46.440 anyway

00:54:46.840 and we got to visiting

00:54:48.260 about Deliverance

00:54:49.280 a little bit

00:54:50.060 and John

00:54:51.240 started pacing out

00:54:52.940 moving furniture

00:54:53.880 around the break room

00:54:54.940 at our office in LA

00:54:56.360 and explaining to me

00:54:57.960 how they staged

00:54:59.300 sundry shots

00:55:00.620 in the film

00:55:01.060 to let the camera

00:55:01.860 just be so voyeuristic

00:55:04.280 to let the camera

00:55:05.060 just sit here

00:55:05.720 and all the action

00:55:06.700 plays out

00:55:07.360 in front of the camera

00:55:08.420 with no movement

00:55:09.060 and he reenacted

00:55:12.060 three scenes

00:55:12.760 from Deliverance

00:55:13.520 in which he played

00:55:14.800 all of the roles

00:55:15.620 and I just sat

00:55:16.860 in the break room

00:55:17.400 and thought

00:55:17.780 holy crap

00:55:19.880 what an unbelievable life

00:55:21.840 we get to live

00:55:22.480 he played the Ned Beatty role

00:55:24.980 yeah he played it all

00:55:25.680 fabulous

00:55:27.680 you know I'm interested

00:55:29.400 the films that you reference

00:55:31.000 are all 70s films

00:55:32.780 which was this amazingly

00:55:34.140 creative

00:55:35.180 I mean

00:55:35.560 you go back

00:55:36.720 you probably don't agree

00:55:38.680 with this

00:55:38.940 but I go back

00:55:39.440 and I look at

00:55:39.880 Five Easy Pieces

00:55:40.540 which I loved at the time

00:55:41.500 and I think like

00:55:41.960 this is another planet

00:55:43.120 that they're making

00:55:43.720 they would never make

00:55:44.620 that movie today

00:55:45.180 what about the films

00:55:46.240 before that

00:55:47.040 because I happen to love

00:55:48.860 movies just like this

00:55:49.940 small tight thrillers

00:55:51.540 that work

00:55:51.980 I mean

00:55:52.320 but the ones

00:55:53.580 that I go back to

00:55:54.520 are films like

00:55:55.620 The Killers

00:55:56.280 with Burt Lancaster

00:55:57.280 and Sterling Hayden

00:55:58.160 I can't remember

00:55:58.840 the name of the film

00:55:59.660 where he robs

00:56:00.120 the racetrack

00:56:00.840 I don't remember

00:56:01.640 but it's just a great

00:56:02.440 great movie

00:56:02.920 Stanley Kubrick

00:56:05.260 yeah

00:56:05.480 what the heck

00:56:06.600 is it called

00:56:07.080 The Heist

00:56:07.380 no it's not

00:56:09.180 something like that

00:56:10.000 but anyway

00:56:10.940 do you go back

00:56:12.400 to those

00:56:12.700 or is that before

00:56:13.440 you just think

00:56:14.000 that's another

00:56:14.740 my wife and I

00:56:15.740 we were watching

00:56:16.440 North by Northwest

00:56:17.120 because it just came out

00:56:18.420 on a new Blu-ray

00:56:19.700 just last night

00:56:20.420 so we

00:56:20.940 yeah

00:56:21.640 if you named

00:56:23.840 some of your favorites

00:56:24.420 they'd probably be mine too

00:56:25.320 I'm not great

00:56:26.400 at always having

00:56:26.880 a list in my head

00:56:27.660 but

00:56:27.940 how about you

00:56:30.260 Dallas

00:56:30.540 yeah I mean

00:56:31.640 I've done a

00:56:33.800 major deep dive

00:56:34.980 over this year

00:56:35.760 into the late 60s

00:56:37.140 early 70s

00:56:37.880 because it's been

00:56:38.400 so inspiring to me

00:56:39.520 and sort of

00:56:39.960 building my company

00:56:40.760 and brand

00:56:41.480 and things like that

00:56:42.240 and there's a

00:56:43.220 fascinating

00:56:43.860 criterion collection

00:56:45.000 called

00:56:45.400 America Lost

00:56:46.160 and Found

00:56:46.640 the BBS Story

00:56:47.620 and BBS stands for

00:56:49.320 three producers

00:56:50.220 who made

00:56:51.220 Easy Rider

00:56:51.860 Five Easy Pieces

00:56:53.140 Last Picture Show

00:56:54.200 and so on

00:56:55.100 and they worked

00:56:55.520 with Jack Nicholson

00:56:56.420 and so I highly

00:56:57.580 recommend this

00:56:58.380 the movie that's

00:56:59.740 inspired me the most

00:57:00.660 so my favorite

00:57:01.260 filmmaker of all time

00:57:02.200 is Michael Cimino

00:57:03.060 just the excess

00:57:04.560 of his filmmaking

00:57:05.540 but also his

00:57:06.380 storytelling and writing

00:57:07.480 and things like that

00:57:08.400 he's known obviously

00:57:10.580 for Deer Hunter

00:57:11.340 and Heaven's Gate

00:57:12.340 and things like that

00:57:13.120 but his masterpiece

00:57:14.260 is actually

00:57:15.160 a very unknown film

00:57:16.540 starring sort of

00:57:17.960 a pre-surgery

00:57:18.820 Mickey Rourke

00:57:19.660 called Year of the Dragon

00:57:21.580 which is co-written

00:57:23.080 by Oliver Stone

00:57:24.000 and just do yourself

00:57:26.380 a favor

00:57:26.680 there's your

00:57:27.140 there's your homework

00:57:27.900 that movie is a

00:57:29.080 master

00:57:30.000 I love it

00:57:30.340 I actually don't know

00:57:31.760 that film

00:57:32.020 1984-85

00:57:33.060 yeah

00:57:33.240 I know of it

00:57:34.680 but I've never seen

00:57:35.160 Alicia

00:57:36.440 alright I just have

00:57:38.400 to ask a question

00:57:39.060 it's a girl from

00:57:39.640 southeastern Oklahoma

00:57:40.700 are you a paying

00:57:41.600 subscriber?

00:57:43.040 yes I am

00:57:43.520 thanks and so is my mom

00:57:44.700 there's a girl from

00:57:46.200 I'm from southeastern Oklahoma

00:57:47.760 my ears perked up

00:57:48.840 a couple of times

00:57:49.620 when you mentioned

00:57:50.560 a place where I have

00:57:51.580 been a time or two

00:57:52.440 Broken Bow

00:57:53.240 I mean how the heck

00:57:54.920 did you know about

00:57:55.580 Broken Bow?

00:57:56.820 that I

00:57:57.480 we were searching

00:57:59.180 for a state

00:58:00.120 and

00:58:01.040 I really just wanted

00:58:03.620 to be right in the

00:58:04.260 center of the country

00:58:04.900 I wanted us all

00:58:05.780 I wanted the culpability

00:58:06.760 to kind of be on

00:58:07.480 everyone's shoulders

00:58:08.560 because it is a

00:58:09.740 it's an American problem

00:58:11.580 so I thought

00:58:12.240 let's go right into

00:58:12.800 the center of the country

00:58:13.940 and then my family

00:58:14.880 I'm from Maine

00:58:15.540 originally

00:58:15.900 we have a

00:58:16.520 a camp

00:58:17.420 in Maine

00:58:18.240 and I don't even know

00:58:19.900 if you would say

00:58:20.420 camp

00:58:20.900 for just like a cabin

00:58:23.060 on a lake

00:58:23.520 but I just

00:58:24.360 I picked Broken Bow

00:58:25.220 I just pointed at it

00:58:26.860 when I was writing

00:58:27.840 found it on a map

00:58:28.640 yeah we vacation

00:58:30.400 we vacation there

00:58:31.420 every year

00:58:31.960 lots of people

00:58:34.900 from the Dallas

00:58:35.500 Fort Worth area

00:58:36.060 do

00:58:36.400 despite the Red River

00:58:37.460 rivalry

00:58:37.900 we will take your money

00:58:39.000 so next question

00:58:40.140 comes

00:58:40.560 we also love

00:58:41.460 our members money

00:58:42.140 and we'll get back

00:58:42.880 to their questions

00:58:43.520 right now

00:58:44.040 have there been

00:58:44.720 any people

00:58:45.260 that are criticizing

00:58:46.440 this film

00:58:47.100 as exploitative

00:58:47.860 you guys

00:58:48.220 kind of touched

00:58:48.920 on that a little

00:58:49.460 bit in the top

00:58:49.960 but a Daily Wire

00:58:50.580 member wants to know

00:58:51.400 in the press

00:58:55.720 that I've seen

00:58:56.240 so far

00:58:56.780 I thought that

00:58:57.820 that would be

00:58:58.160 the number one

00:58:58.740 criticism of the film

00:58:59.900 I actually haven't

00:59:00.580 run across a lot

00:59:01.360 of a lot of

00:59:02.240 accusations

00:59:02.660 of exploitation

00:59:03.320 of you

00:59:03.620 I would say

00:59:04.980 there's a beautiful

00:59:06.420 there's a beautiful

00:59:10.220 effect

00:59:10.760 of us

00:59:11.480 releasing this movie

00:59:12.640 with the Daily Wire

00:59:13.480 in that I think

00:59:14.820 it found the audience

00:59:15.820 it was always intended

00:59:16.840 to find in many ways

00:59:18.200 audience that wouldn't

00:59:19.600 be offended by it

00:59:20.660 that could handle it

00:59:21.640 that didn't need

00:59:22.120 a safe space

00:59:22.860 to watch it

00:59:23.580 and while I think

00:59:25.720 we hope

00:59:26.580 that more people

00:59:27.980 will come

00:59:28.560 to the movie

00:59:29.340 and be open to it

00:59:30.340 and things like that

00:59:31.080 the voices

00:59:32.720 on the extreme left

00:59:34.780 have not been

00:59:36.200 open to the movie

00:59:37.120 in fact

00:59:37.480 they've been

00:59:38.340 almost resistant

00:59:39.940 to it

00:59:40.480 in reviewing

00:59:41.820 when they review it

00:59:43.200 I don't want to

00:59:43.760 ever single out

00:59:44.540 an individual review

00:59:45.420 because I don't like it

00:59:46.160 when filmmakers

00:59:47.600 do that

00:59:48.480 but I saw

00:59:49.460 a systemic

00:59:50.540 sort of system

00:59:52.880 in the reviews

00:59:53.780 where it felt

00:59:54.580 very much

00:59:55.800 like a concerted

00:59:56.860 effort

00:59:57.160 to sort of

00:59:58.200 review the subject

00:59:59.440 matter

00:59:59.920 and

01:00:00.720 perceived politics

01:00:02.140 rather than

01:00:03.100 the actual movie

01:00:04.200 I've made

01:00:04.820 35 movies

01:00:06.020 I know

01:00:06.740 I've made

01:00:07.240 some great stuff

01:00:08.180 and I've made

01:00:08.960 some doozies

01:00:09.780 and this is

01:00:10.860 a great movie

01:00:11.600 and

01:00:12.520 to get

01:00:14.020 the critical reaction

01:00:15.900 I'll say

01:00:16.800 from the point

01:00:18.820 of view

01:00:19.060 of

01:00:19.280 the political

01:00:20.940 space

01:00:21.280 that we occupy

01:00:21.960 if it ever

01:00:23.040 seems like

01:00:23.480 there's a conspiracy

01:00:24.160 on the left

01:00:24.800 to create

01:00:25.220 a unified

01:00:25.640 talking point

01:00:26.440 there isn't

01:00:28.280 because there

01:00:28.620 doesn't have to be

01:00:29.320 because they've

01:00:30.420 done such a

01:00:30.920 great job

01:00:31.640 of populating

01:00:32.460 every single

01:00:33.760 piece

01:00:34.380 of the

01:00:34.920 every single

01:00:35.420 institution

01:00:35.960 that makes up

01:00:37.060 the culture

01:00:37.520 with people

01:00:38.160 who think

01:00:38.460 exactly the same

01:00:39.340 you know like

01:00:39.960 in the early

01:00:41.400 Obama years

01:00:42.040 you'd have

01:00:42.280 these list

01:00:42.740 serves

01:00:43.080 and every now

01:00:43.500 and then

01:00:43.620 you'd find out

01:00:44.080 oh there's

01:00:44.320 some list

01:00:44.720 serve

01:00:44.980 and every

01:00:45.720 journalist

01:00:46.120 in Hollywood

01:00:46.680 or in

01:00:47.480 New York

01:00:48.160 is on them

01:00:48.640 and they all

01:00:49.220 conspire around

01:00:49.940 they don't have

01:00:50.280 to do that

01:00:50.600 anymore

01:00:50.820 they just wake

01:00:51.900 up

01:00:52.060 say exactly

01:00:52.660 what you

01:00:52.920 think

01:00:53.180 and every

01:00:53.600 other journalist

01:00:54.100 will say

01:00:54.380 exactly

01:00:54.740 well then

01:00:55.460 that's worse

01:00:56.020 because then

01:00:56.580 they're all

01:00:56.900 thinking the same

01:00:57.600 way

01:00:57.840 I'm very proud

01:00:59.480 of myself

01:00:59.760 because this is

01:01:00.040 the first time

01:01:00.520 I'm reading

01:01:00.920 nothing

01:01:01.280 I'm just

01:01:01.660 reading no

01:01:02.260 I haven't read

01:01:02.940 a single review

01:01:03.600 I'm trying

01:01:04.500 not to read

01:01:04.880 any comments

01:01:05.640 we premiered

01:01:07.040 in Venice

01:01:07.380 and the audience

01:01:08.240 really loved it

01:01:08.820 and it was a

01:01:09.260 beautiful night

01:01:09.940 and you know

01:01:10.920 we're having

01:01:11.300 champagne on

01:01:11.980 the Lido

01:01:12.420 and it was

01:01:13.260 a dream come

01:01:13.760 true

01:01:13.980 and then

01:01:14.440 oh I heard

01:01:15.360 some reviews

01:01:15.860 are starting

01:01:16.240 to drop

01:01:16.720 and I just

01:01:17.340 felt an arm

01:01:18.140 on my shoulder

01:01:18.660 don't read

01:01:19.400 any of them

01:01:19.880 okay

01:01:21.260 and you know

01:01:22.260 and you can

01:01:23.620 you know

01:01:23.880 on Google

01:01:24.280 it'll say

01:01:24.880 whatever

01:01:25.180 we have a

01:01:25.640 14%

01:01:26.420 rotten

01:01:26.840 Rotten Tomatoes

01:01:27.960 thing

01:01:28.100 and I'm like

01:01:28.400 that's just

01:01:28.760 patently false

01:01:29.440 I mean

01:01:29.760 this young

01:01:30.800 cast is so

01:01:31.680 incredible

01:01:32.360 it's just

01:01:34.160 incorrect

01:01:34.660 again that's

01:01:35.580 one of those

01:01:35.900 things on Rotten

01:01:36.460 Tomatoes

01:01:36.820 where you can

01:01:37.640 really see this

01:01:38.140 massive gap

01:01:39.080 particularly with

01:01:39.760 films that are

01:01:40.200 perceived as

01:01:40.620 political

01:01:40.940 between what

01:01:41.660 the critics say

01:01:42.200 and then what

01:01:42.520 the audience

01:01:42.880 says

01:01:43.300 and you see

01:01:44.560 this routinely

01:01:45.220 I mean

01:01:45.920 you'll see it

01:01:46.760 on everything

01:01:47.380 from The Last

01:01:48.220 Jedi

01:01:48.460 where the audience

01:01:49.180 really didn't

01:01:49.760 like it

01:01:50.040 but the critics

01:01:50.360 absolutely loved it

01:01:51.840 and called

01:01:52.380 fans toxic

01:01:53.240 because the fans

01:01:53.920 didn't particularly

01:01:54.480 like it

01:01:55.020 to Wonder Woman

01:01:55.800 1984

01:01:56.280 just the last

01:01:57.120 couple of weeks

01:01:57.680 where people

01:01:58.420 were like

01:01:58.780 this is not

01:01:59.340 very good

01:01:59.940 but the critics

01:02:00.340 like yeah

01:02:00.540 but it's super

01:02:01.120 important

01:02:01.520 and so we're

01:02:02.060 going to pretend

01:02:02.460 that this movie

01:02:02.880 is actually awesome

01:02:03.660 even though it's

01:02:04.660 not good

01:02:04.960 the first Wonder

01:02:05.420 Woman is a good

01:02:05.800 movie

01:02:05.960 Wonder Woman 1984

01:02:07.140 is not a

01:02:07.580 particularly good movie

01:02:08.280 but it feels

01:02:10.000 the same way

01:02:10.600 with regard

01:02:11.100 to this film

01:02:11.880 because the film

01:02:12.360 is just

01:02:12.820 it is a good film

01:02:14.360 and as far as

01:02:15.140 the kind of

01:02:16.040 accusation that

01:02:17.040 it's exploitative

01:02:17.620 listen everybody

01:02:18.540 everybody at the

01:02:19.340 Daily Wire

01:02:19.600 is super sensitive

01:02:20.600 to the idea

01:02:21.360 that anything

01:02:22.700 would be done

01:02:23.300 to glorify school

01:02:24.240 shooters

01:02:24.440 again one of the

01:02:25.160 things that we

01:02:25.660 were

01:02:25.780 I was very

01:02:27.220 personally

01:02:28.080 extremely early

01:02:30.020 and hard

01:02:30.680 on the idea

01:02:31.180 that we were

01:02:31.540 not going

01:02:32.240 to print their

01:02:33.820 names in the

01:02:34.540 Daily Wire

01:02:34.880 we're not going

01:02:35.520 to give them

01:02:35.840 any sort of

01:02:36.220 attention in the

01:02:36.960 Daily Wire

01:02:37.340 because that's

01:02:38.100 precisely what

01:02:38.560 they're looking

01:02:38.880 for

01:02:39.060 and one of the

01:02:39.320 things that

01:02:39.580 drew me to

01:02:39.860 the film

01:02:40.220 was that the

01:02:41.900 film is making

01:02:42.280 exactly that

01:02:43.100 point in many

01:02:43.580 ways which is

01:02:44.100 the more attention

01:02:44.680 these people are

01:02:45.320 looking for attention

01:02:46.000 the more attention

01:02:46.600 you give them

01:02:47.240 the more of these

01:02:48.380 you're going to see

01:02:49.040 and so we need

01:02:49.480 to actually deprive

01:02:50.500 them of attention

01:02:50.860 we need to treat

01:02:51.380 them for the

01:02:51.700 villains they are

01:02:52.320 it can't be all

01:02:53.200 about their

01:02:54.040 tough childhoods

01:02:55.080 as you were

01:02:55.360 suggesting or the

01:02:56.420 sort of crippling

01:02:57.340 circumstances they

01:02:58.080 went through

01:02:58.420 look how tough

01:02:58.900 life is for them

01:02:59.560 the focus in this

01:03:00.580 film is really on

01:03:01.440 the victims

01:03:01.740 it really really is

01:03:02.580 on the victims

01:03:02.980 the film also

01:03:03.920 talks about the

01:03:05.940 people who

01:03:06.300 perpetrate these

01:03:07.300 events in a more

01:03:08.220 honest way

01:03:09.120 I mean it's funny

01:03:09.600 because it's

01:03:10.000 fundamentally a

01:03:11.260 piece of

01:03:11.520 entertainment

01:03:11.920 it's a piece of

01:03:12.880 fiction

01:03:13.120 it's not

01:03:13.700 a documentary

01:03:15.200 and yet it has

01:03:16.640 a more honest

01:03:17.080 take on the

01:03:18.140 people who

01:03:18.460 perpetrate these

01:03:19.420 crimes than

01:03:19.960 most even news

01:03:21.860 articles or

01:03:22.380 documentaries that

01:03:23.420 you see

01:03:23.720 I mean you

01:03:24.880 very very rarely

01:03:26.280 hear about the

01:03:27.880 prevalence of

01:03:28.540 people who hear

01:03:29.340 voices

01:03:29.720 you'll find

01:03:30.900 if you go around

01:03:32.160 looking on the

01:03:32.640 internet you will

01:03:33.200 find these stories

01:03:33.980 and it's in so

01:03:35.040 many of these

01:03:35.640 mass shootings

01:03:36.100 that people claim

01:03:36.660 to hear voices

01:03:37.200 that it's always

01:03:38.020 buried down on

01:03:38.860 paragraph 30

01:03:39.800 of the story

01:03:40.960 because I think

01:03:41.880 the media doesn't

01:03:43.140 know what to do

01:03:44.020 with that information

01:03:44.740 we have a very

01:03:45.700 secular media

01:03:47.060 we have a very

01:03:48.400 we have a very

01:03:49.980 sort of cynical

01:03:50.540 media

01:03:50.920 they don't know

01:03:51.680 how to touch

01:03:52.940 things that they

01:03:53.920 don't fully

01:03:54.400 understand

01:03:54.920 the desire for

01:03:56.720 notoriety

01:03:57.300 another huge

01:03:58.980 component of it

01:03:59.760 also the sort of

01:04:00.940 cult-like draw

01:04:01.720 of Tristan

01:04:02.300 as a character

01:04:03.300 for these weaker

01:04:04.020 minded people

01:04:05.160 around him

01:04:05.640 which all the way

01:04:06.360 back to Columbine

01:04:07.180 was such a

01:04:08.240 the untold story

01:04:10.120 of Columbine

01:04:10.580 I think is

01:04:11.160 in some ways

01:04:12.240 the power of

01:04:13.220 the one shooter

01:04:14.480 to really draw

01:04:15.100 in the other

01:04:15.600 into his plans

01:04:16.340 so in that way

01:04:17.640 you really took

01:04:18.240 kind of an

01:04:18.560 unflinching look

01:04:19.320 at the evil

01:04:20.940 that you were seeing

01:04:21.540 it is funny

01:04:23.500 I've always thought

01:04:24.980 about the fact

01:04:25.680 that when people

01:04:26.120 hear voices

01:04:26.680 the voices never say

01:04:27.920 you're a great guy

01:04:28.980 go out and be nice

01:04:29.660 to me

01:04:30.040 why is that

01:04:31.280 Alicia

01:04:33.160 alright what did

01:04:34.700 each of you guys

01:04:35.460 take away from the

01:04:36.340 movie after your

01:04:37.260 first viewing

01:04:38.100 well

01:04:40.620 in some ways

01:04:42.380 this is a question

01:04:42.940 for the three of us

01:04:43.780 right because you

01:04:44.340 guys made it

01:04:44.900 but I actually think

01:04:46.280 the more interesting

01:04:47.340 answers are going

01:04:48.180 to come from

01:04:48.540 the two of you

01:04:48.960 there's nothing

01:04:49.720 so surreal

01:04:50.500 as watching

01:04:51.620 your own film

01:04:52.340 oh

01:04:54.560 well there was

01:04:57.960 no first

01:04:58.340 I mean I

01:04:58.760 I was there

01:04:59.480 with every edit

01:05:00.280 yeah of course

01:05:01.380 going frame by frame

01:05:02.520 so I don't know

01:05:04.140 when a first time

01:05:04.800 so you didn't

01:05:05.640 have an editor

01:05:06.140 do an editor's

01:05:07.700 pass and then

01:05:08.220 you came in

01:05:08.640 and saw the rough

01:05:09.140 assembly for the

01:05:09.720 first time

01:05:10.020 you were there

01:05:10.500 at every step

01:05:11.980 of the way

01:05:12.280 yeah I mean

01:05:12.520 I have an awesome

01:05:13.620 editor Matthew

01:05:14.300 Lorenz

01:05:14.780 he's great

01:05:15.260 I collaborated

01:05:16.360 with him

01:05:16.700 just like

01:05:17.140 with every

01:05:17.760 cast and crew

01:05:18.920 member

01:05:19.260 but yeah

01:05:20.720 I get into it

01:05:22.040 and we both do

01:05:23.080 what was your

01:05:24.960 experience watching

01:05:25.940 it with an audience

01:05:26.600 for the first time

01:05:27.400 yeah Venice

01:05:27.900 was amazing

01:05:28.460 and I did

01:05:29.160 something in Venice

01:05:29.720 tonight

01:05:30.620 it was also

01:05:31.800 a bunch of

01:05:32.520 your employees

01:05:33.860 were watching it

01:05:34.440 and I just

01:05:34.820 I tend to leave

01:05:35.600 the room

01:05:35.900 and just walk

01:05:36.320 around

01:05:36.700 because I can't

01:05:37.440 you know

01:05:37.760 I love the movie

01:05:39.700 I adore it

01:05:40.300 and I'll defend

01:05:41.020 it until I

01:05:41.720 you know

01:05:42.080 the day I die

01:05:42.740 but I don't

01:05:44.980 I don't always

01:05:45.620 want to be in

01:05:46.080 the room

01:05:46.360 when it's

01:05:47.000 I perfected it

01:05:48.320 so that it can

01:05:48.940 go have a life

01:05:49.760 and it is

01:05:50.280 no longer mine

01:05:51.140 it's no longer

01:05:51.920 Dallas's

01:05:52.860 it will go out

01:05:53.580 and unfortunately

01:05:54.100 like a child

01:05:54.720 be judged

01:05:55.640 and run into

01:05:56.580 people who are

01:05:57.260 mean to it

01:05:57.700 and that'll

01:05:58.260 really annoy me

01:05:58.900 which is why

01:05:59.700 I won't read

01:06:00.260 anything

01:06:00.640 I care for it

01:06:02.840 deeply

01:06:03.100 but now

01:06:04.120 it is

01:06:04.440 everybody's

01:06:05.520 one of the

01:06:06.340 things

01:06:06.580 I watch films

01:06:08.020 there's always

01:06:08.840 a part of my

01:06:09.460 head that's

01:06:09.840 picking scripts

01:06:10.940 apart

01:06:11.240 and I watch

01:06:11.960 especially thrillers

01:06:13.600 which is a genre

01:06:14.520 I've worked in a lot

01:06:15.400 and I'm always

01:06:16.780 watching a movie

01:06:17.660 rooting for the

01:06:19.060 writer

01:06:19.280 I'm always

01:06:20.060 thinking like

01:06:20.920 go ahead

01:06:21.680 you're almost

01:06:22.700 there

01:06:22.940 just keep going

01:06:23.580 and that was

01:06:24.080 one of the things

01:06:24.560 that I took away

01:06:25.120 from it

01:06:25.340 it works

01:06:26.200 you know

01:06:26.540 like

01:06:26.840 it's not

01:06:28.240 a small thing

01:06:29.340 films don't work

01:06:30.680 so many films

01:06:31.500 don't work

01:06:31.940 and this film

01:06:32.580 works

01:06:32.840 and I was just

01:06:33.960 really happy

01:06:34.620 as you got

01:06:35.100 through it

01:06:35.620 I know

01:06:36.940 this is not

01:06:37.260 what most people

01:06:37.760 are taking away

01:06:38.240 from a movie

01:06:38.720 but I can't help it

01:06:39.700 I watch the movie

01:06:40.540 and I just think

01:06:41.180 like I can see

01:06:42.380 so many ways

01:06:43.300 you can go wrong

01:06:44.000 here

01:06:44.320 and yet you're

01:06:45.240 on that line

01:06:46.000 and you're

01:06:46.360 keeping to that line

01:06:47.300 and it's a wonderful

01:06:48.340 thing to see

01:06:49.000 it is

01:06:49.740 just technically

01:06:50.360 yeah

01:06:50.760 so for me

01:06:52.240 there are a couple

01:06:53.100 things that pop

01:06:53.900 out of me

01:06:54.240 so one is

01:06:55.780 Isabel May's

01:06:56.880 performance is just

01:06:57.620 terrific

01:06:57.960 I mean she's

01:06:58.540 just first rate

01:06:59.240 and I think that

01:07:00.040 for the vast majority

01:07:00.840 of people who watch

01:07:01.500 it because the camera

01:07:02.480 is so in love

01:07:03.140 with her

01:07:03.380 I mean she's

01:07:03.820 just amazing

01:07:04.480 on screen

01:07:05.260 that that is

01:07:06.320 that that will be

01:07:08.000 sort of the surface

01:07:08.920 takeaway

01:07:09.280 but then the second

01:07:10.480 time actually

01:07:11.140 is kind of when I get

01:07:12.040 more of the message

01:07:13.400 because the first time

01:07:13.880 you're just watching

01:07:14.400 to see the plot

01:07:15.020 and you're drawn into it

01:07:15.920 the second time

01:07:16.800 where we were kind of

01:07:17.320 popping in and out

01:07:18.000 tonight

01:07:18.340 like watching

01:07:18.980 various scenes

01:07:19.740 there was one scene

01:07:20.780 that popped out

01:07:21.260 of me

01:07:21.420 and that's the scene

01:07:22.000 where Tristan

01:07:23.320 is asking

01:07:24.040 one of the girls

01:07:25.540 who's religious

01:07:26.560 about free will

01:07:27.900 and she drops

01:07:28.900 a little sermon

01:07:29.420 about free will

01:07:30.160 and I thought

01:07:30.820 that's something

01:07:31.760 you will never see

01:07:32.420 in any other

01:07:32.760 like really

01:07:33.780 you're not going

01:07:34.320 to see it

01:07:34.660 I mean that's

01:07:35.180 the point that she

01:07:36.280 makes about free will

01:07:37.000 where she says

01:07:37.560 that bad people

01:07:38.540 are allowed to be

01:07:39.080 bad people

01:07:39.540 so that they can

01:07:40.040 be judged

01:07:40.540 that is as good

01:07:42.440 a 30 second

01:07:43.580 explanation

01:07:44.140 of free will

01:07:45.340 from a religious

01:07:45.860 perspective

01:07:46.340 as I can imagine

01:07:47.760 and it also is a theme

01:07:48.740 running throughout

01:07:49.140 the film

01:07:49.400 which is you're

01:07:49.840 going to be judged

01:07:50.380 for your own

01:07:50.800 behavior

01:07:51.100 and that you're

01:07:52.140 going to need

01:07:52.500 to be held

01:07:52.960 accountable

01:07:53.380 for that behavior

01:07:55.140 so I thought

01:07:55.960 that that was

01:07:56.340 it's a beautiful

01:07:57.280 and I think

01:07:58.440 will be an

01:07:58.820 underappreciated scene

01:07:59.640 because it's

01:08:00.240 kind of

01:08:00.840 off the beaten

01:08:01.360 track of the film

01:08:02.180 it's not the conflict

01:08:03.220 between the main

01:08:03.660 characters

01:08:03.980 but it really

01:08:04.340 is wonderful

01:08:04.820 the film does

01:08:05.420 have a sense

01:08:05.820 of justice

01:08:06.360 the character

01:08:07.640 Kip

01:08:08.040 it's a wonderful

01:08:10.780 thing you did

01:08:11.220 as a filmmaker

01:08:12.000 where you let

01:08:12.820 him be redeemed

01:08:13.780 but he still

01:08:14.940 has to die

01:08:15.600 he did do

01:08:17.240 the thing

01:08:17.700 and you wouldn't

01:08:18.280 be satisfied

01:08:18.920 to watch him

01:08:19.580 come through

01:08:20.920 this

01:08:21.200 it's only one

01:08:23.500 example

01:08:23.820 my big takeaway

01:08:25.000 when I watch

01:08:26.080 any film

01:08:26.540 I like

01:08:28.960 paternal

01:08:29.900 relationships

01:08:31.140 portrayed well

01:08:32.160 in film

01:08:33.080 my favorite

01:08:34.340 it's not a film

01:08:36.060 obviously it's a

01:08:36.880 miniseries

01:08:37.340 but Lonesome Dove

01:08:38.020 is my favorite

01:08:38.660 thing that's ever

01:08:40.180 been shot

01:08:41.180 and it's because

01:08:42.240 it's the relationship

01:08:42.820 between two men

01:08:43.620 and I love those

01:08:44.800 kinds of relationships

01:08:45.520 my favorite moment

01:08:46.800 in this film

01:08:47.500 is the scene

01:08:49.800 in the chemistry lab

01:08:51.260 when Isabel

01:08:52.400 is being just

01:08:53.380 beat to a pulp

01:08:54.140 and her father

01:08:55.160 saves her

01:08:55.600 and I love it

01:08:56.160 everything about

01:08:57.700 the scene

01:08:58.060 I love that

01:08:58.580 she's inventive

01:09:00.100 with the gas

01:09:02.620 that she's still

01:09:04.560 being inventive

01:09:05.100 about how to

01:09:05.560 protect herself

01:09:06.220 I love that

01:09:07.640 I actually thought

01:09:08.640 when they're just

01:09:10.140 about to obviously

01:09:10.860 be in a physical

01:09:11.420 confrontation

01:09:11.880 I thought this

01:09:12.420 movie's about to

01:09:13.040 lose me

01:09:13.540 because they're

01:09:14.760 about to give me

01:09:15.380 the obligatory scene

01:09:16.480 in which an 85 pound

01:09:17.620 girl takes on

01:09:18.920 a 6 foot 2

01:09:19.760 200 pound man

01:09:20.900 and somehow

01:09:21.880 beats him

01:09:22.380 and no

01:09:23.180 I mean she gets

01:09:24.220 pummeled

01:09:25.200 because in boxing

01:09:27.220 you're not allowed

01:09:27.860 to fight someone

01:09:28.420 5 pounds

01:09:29.100 because that's

01:09:30.360 how the world

01:09:30.720 works

01:09:30.960 and then for her

01:09:32.020 father to be there

01:09:32.760 in that moment

01:09:33.300 almost as a

01:09:34.440 like an angel

01:09:36.220 I mean he's

01:09:36.940 beyond her experience

01:09:38.780 at that moment

01:09:39.140 she doesn't know

01:09:39.820 that he exists

01:09:40.500 and then he's there

01:09:41.600 to save her

01:09:42.020 it's just the most

01:09:42.540 beautiful moment

01:09:43.140 yeah and I

01:09:44.020 you have three

01:09:45.440 children

01:09:45.780 and I have

01:09:46.820 three children

01:09:47.280 I think any

01:09:48.020 parent would

01:09:49.040 yeah

01:09:49.280 would I take

01:09:50.100 that shot

01:09:50.540 absolutely

01:09:51.180 100%

01:09:51.980 I love that

01:09:53.260 scene as well

01:09:54.100 and then the

01:09:55.640 scene that you

01:09:56.060 mentioned

01:09:56.380 I attend this

01:09:58.580 spiritual men's

01:09:59.600 group in Los

01:10:00.260 Angeles

01:10:00.540 and I'm like

01:10:01.100 the youngest

01:10:01.480 member by like

01:10:02.260 30 years

01:10:02.800 it's really

01:10:03.160 interesting

01:10:03.560 and that got

01:10:05.860 brought up

01:10:06.360 you know

01:10:06.660 basically

01:10:06.980 why does God

01:10:07.960 allow bad

01:10:10.080 things to happen

01:10:10.460 to good people

01:10:10.960 got brought up

01:10:11.500 one night

01:10:11.900 and one of the

01:10:12.720 guys was like

01:10:13.160 free will

01:10:13.600 and I didn't

01:10:15.200 fully understand

01:10:15.700 the conversation

01:10:16.320 to be honest

01:10:16.780 my wife is

01:10:18.500 religious

01:10:18.800 I am not

01:10:20.620 practicing any

01:10:21.380 religion

01:10:21.700 I came home

01:10:22.260 I said

01:10:22.660 what does this

01:10:23.080 mean

01:10:23.280 can you please

01:10:24.260 explain the

01:10:24.680 world to me

01:10:25.100 honey

01:10:25.300 and she was

01:10:25.880 like oh

01:10:26.760 and she's

01:10:27.120 like I think

01:10:27.720 yeah she basically

01:10:28.640 just dropped

01:10:29.260 that line on me

01:10:30.040 and she's like

01:10:30.620 God allows

01:10:31.760 the wicked

01:10:32.360 to do their

01:10:32.840 wickedness

01:10:33.260 I can be

01:10:33.780 judged

01:10:34.620 and I just

01:10:35.100 like that's

01:10:35.780 going in

01:10:36.280 verbatim

01:10:36.760 and I almost

01:10:37.700 fell over

01:10:38.180 but I do

01:10:40.320 it annoys me

01:10:40.920 that even

01:10:41.360 though

01:10:41.700 you know

01:10:42.820 I was raised

01:10:43.560 as a Catholic

01:10:44.120 my dad

01:10:45.500 didn't attend

01:10:47.660 my mom would

01:10:48.420 kind of drag

01:10:48.840 us every Sunday

01:10:49.880 and I'd be like

01:10:51.440 I want to be

01:10:51.860 whatever dad is

01:10:52.640 because he gets

01:10:53.100 to mow the lawn

01:10:53.720 and stay home

01:10:54.260 I want to do that

01:10:54.920 but it annoys me

01:10:57.200 that Hollywood

01:10:57.620 is they have

01:10:59.040 forgotten that

01:10:59.740 this is a religious

01:11:01.160 country completely

01:11:02.180 there I mean

01:11:02.820 if you put religion

01:11:03.560 in a script

01:11:04.160 I have seen that

01:11:05.100 Drew

01:11:06.360 and you were

01:11:06.720 mentioning like

01:11:07.220 oh that's taboo

01:11:07.920 but why is

01:11:09.320 even though

01:11:10.340 I'm non-practicing

01:11:11.040 I'm starting

01:11:11.700 to kind of

01:11:12.040 revisit the Bible

01:11:12.780 and be like

01:11:13.260 there's a ton

01:11:14.480 of wisdom

01:11:14.840 in here

01:11:15.260 and some amazing

01:11:16.260 ideas and quotes

01:11:17.740 and things that

01:11:18.880 now are inspiring

01:11:19.740 me that I'm

01:11:20.580 kind of approaching

01:11:21.180 it on my own

01:11:22.200 so that is a

01:11:23.480 lesson that Hollywood

01:11:24.180 could learn

01:11:24.720 to kind of

01:11:25.800 revisit some of

01:11:26.520 that stuff

01:11:26.860 and fatherhood

01:11:28.540 you know

01:11:28.940 back to the

01:11:29.460 other scene

01:11:29.820 the generation

01:11:32.080 in which I grew up

01:11:33.040 every single

01:11:33.960 father who's been

01:11:34.800 represented in my

01:11:35.620 lifetime

01:11:36.000 is just a

01:11:37.080 doddering boob

01:11:38.320 who's being

01:11:39.060 bailed out by

01:11:39.740 his wife

01:11:40.100 or his children

01:11:40.620 who are much

01:11:41.200 smarter and

01:11:41.680 much more capable

01:11:42.320 than him

01:11:43.400 and I feel like

01:11:43.980 Thomas Jane

01:11:44.460 gives a great

01:11:45.040 performance in this

01:11:45.960 as a father

01:11:47.520 who's

01:11:47.940 probably not

01:11:50.880 been physically

01:11:51.380 present for a lot

01:11:52.280 of Isabel's

01:11:52.780 lives

01:11:53.020 and probably

01:11:55.080 hasn't been

01:11:55.440 emotionally present

01:11:56.240 either

01:11:56.520 and yet this

01:11:57.080 tragedy

01:11:57.480 has almost

01:11:58.420 given him

01:11:58.760 the opportunity

01:11:59.260 to be

01:12:00.280 probably the

01:12:01.420 father he

01:12:01.760 always should

01:12:02.180 be

01:12:02.360 and out of

01:12:02.980 that pain

01:12:04.820 he's emerged

01:12:05.420 to something

01:12:05.860 more complete

01:12:06.580 that's a really

01:12:07.400 beautiful

01:12:07.760 yeah

01:12:08.360 these actors

01:12:10.560 guys like

01:12:11.000 Thomas Jane

01:12:11.420 Treat Williams

01:12:12.120 I Treat Williams

01:12:13.020 I see on

01:12:13.440 Blue Blood

01:12:13.840 so I assume

01:12:14.360 he's a

01:12:14.640 conservative

01:12:14.980 but

01:12:15.900 I don't think

01:12:17.980 Treat Williams

01:12:18.420 is a conservative

01:12:18.980 don't slander

01:12:20.640 Treat

01:12:20.980 oh sorry

01:12:21.680 I just wondered

01:12:23.140 don't end

01:12:24.020 people's careers

01:12:24.640 well that's

01:12:26.340 what I was

01:12:26.640 going to ask

01:12:27.020 that's what

01:12:27.340 I was going

01:12:27.640 to ask

01:12:27.880 do they

01:12:28.240 hesitate

01:12:28.760 at all

01:12:29.480 to be in

01:12:30.100 a film

01:12:30.420 that might

01:12:31.040 tar

01:12:31.800 what I love

01:12:32.860 oh sorry

01:12:33.460 yeah I mean

01:12:34.080 go ahead

01:12:34.400 what I love

01:12:34.800 about Thomas

01:12:35.240 Jane

01:12:35.460 is he's

01:12:35.840 like

01:12:36.100 I think

01:12:36.680 he said

01:12:37.000 let's ruffle

01:12:37.580 a few

01:12:37.940 tail feathers

01:12:38.440 like yeah

01:12:40.020 let's

01:12:40.360 he wants

01:12:40.920 to do

01:12:41.140 things

01:12:41.360 that scare

01:12:41.720 him

01:12:42.000 Treat

01:12:43.700 maybe

01:12:44.400 is similar

01:12:45.300 you know

01:12:45.740 I heard

01:12:48.340 a lot

01:12:48.600 of like

01:12:48.860 I'm scared

01:12:49.700 about this

01:12:50.120 script

01:12:50.340 I'd like

01:12:50.640 to do

01:12:50.900 it

01:12:51.060 and all

01:12:51.700 of the

01:12:51.900 young

01:12:52.080 cast

01:12:52.360 too

01:12:52.640 when we

01:12:53.340 narrowed

01:12:54.280 it down

01:12:54.500 I took

01:12:54.780 them into

01:12:55.200 another room

01:12:55.660 and just

01:12:55.900 gave them

01:12:56.220 the speech

01:12:56.660 of like

01:12:57.000 I don't

01:12:57.320 know how

01:12:57.640 this is

01:12:57.900 going to

01:12:58.000 be received

01:12:58.460 you're

01:12:58.960 just

01:12:59.160 starting

01:12:59.440 your career

01:12:59.960 go home

01:13:00.880 and really

01:13:01.400 think about

01:13:01.980 it

01:13:02.520 and they

01:13:04.840 all you know

01:13:05.720 some of them

01:13:06.200 didn't need to

01:13:06.720 leave the room

01:13:07.040 for like

01:13:07.300 no I don't

01:13:08.320 care

01:13:08.520 I want to

01:13:08.920 do it

01:13:09.180 but that

01:13:09.960 I'm more

01:13:10.680 worried for

01:13:11.300 I can be

01:13:12.740 canceled

01:13:12.980 I don't

01:13:13.260 really care

01:13:13.700 but I am

01:13:14.080 worried about

01:13:14.580 these amazing

01:13:15.280 guys that are

01:13:15.880 and gals that

01:13:16.540 are just

01:13:16.780 starting their

01:13:17.320 career

01:13:17.660 I honestly

01:13:20.120 think that

01:13:20.800 while we

01:13:22.840 know that

01:13:23.280 the industry

01:13:23.680 can blacklist

01:13:24.520 people

01:13:24.800 we know that

01:13:25.260 the industry

01:13:25.640 can cancel

01:13:26.180 people

01:13:26.500 these kids

01:13:27.360 are too

01:13:27.620 talented

01:13:27.960 and it's

01:13:28.780 not their

01:13:29.060 fault that

01:13:29.380 they wound

01:13:29.660 up on

01:13:29.920 the Daily

01:13:30.200 Wire

01:13:30.480 they gave

01:13:34.080 their best

01:13:34.440 effort to

01:13:34.860 a film

01:13:35.220 and we

01:13:36.040 happen to

01:13:36.300 be the

01:13:36.520 ones who

01:13:36.940 came along

01:13:38.080 to release

01:13:38.880 it

01:13:39.140 and maybe

01:13:40.600 some of

01:13:40.960 them

01:13:41.160 I don't

01:13:42.280 know the

01:13:42.520 politics of

01:13:42.920 any of

01:13:43.180 them

01:13:43.260 maybe some

01:13:43.660 of them

01:13:43.840 share our

01:13:44.140 politics

01:13:44.420 I'm certain

01:13:44.860 a lot of

01:13:45.260 them don't

01:13:45.880 and you

01:13:47.320 know

01:13:47.440 one of

01:13:48.900 the things

01:13:50.220 that Ben

01:13:50.480 and I

01:13:50.680 talked about

01:13:51.120 when we

01:13:51.400 first acquired

01:13:51.880 the film

01:13:52.220 was you

01:13:52.520 know

01:13:52.680 if any

01:13:53.820 of these

01:13:54.080 kids feel

01:13:54.480 like they

01:13:54.740 have to

01:13:54.940 speak out

01:13:55.300 against us

01:13:55.800 in social

01:13:56.320 media

01:13:56.640 we can't

01:13:57.880 respond

01:13:58.320 like

01:13:59.020 yeah

01:13:59.460 they

01:13:59.720 they didn't

01:14:00.220 sign up

01:14:00.580 for this

01:14:01.000 they're

01:14:01.700 they're hugely

01:14:02.280 talented

01:14:02.780 god bless

01:14:03.520 them and I

01:14:03.840 hope they

01:14:04.080 all have

01:14:04.340 great careers

01:14:04.740 I think

01:14:05.540 based on what

01:14:06.040 they delivered

01:14:06.440 in this film

01:14:06.900 they will

01:14:07.260 they have

01:14:07.980 been along

01:14:08.640 since the

01:14:09.880 beginning

01:14:10.140 for the

01:14:10.720 ride

01:14:11.100 right

01:14:11.600 they came

01:14:12.720 and made

01:14:13.180 the movie

01:14:13.600 against all

01:14:14.200 odds

01:14:14.520 with us

01:14:15.200 right

01:14:15.520 fought every

01:14:16.180 day on

01:14:16.680 set

01:14:17.060 you know

01:14:17.500 they came

01:14:19.180 with us

01:14:19.800 you know

01:14:20.820 into post

01:14:21.460 production

01:14:21.880 it helped

01:14:22.680 you know

01:14:23.100 do these

01:14:24.100 amazing

01:14:24.660 performances

01:14:25.280 that got

01:14:25.760 the movie

01:14:26.100 into Venice

01:14:26.720 film festival

01:14:27.520 it came

01:14:28.420 we brought

01:14:29.040 them to

01:14:29.380 Venice

01:14:29.700 they saw

01:14:30.600 the movie

01:14:31.140 get

01:14:32.580 absolutely

01:14:33.560 slaughtered

01:14:34.840 by the

01:14:35.160 critics

01:14:35.580 but absolutely

01:14:36.900 applauded

01:14:38.800 in the

01:14:39.380 room

01:14:39.760 and

01:14:41.700 they came

01:14:42.660 along with

01:14:43.320 us for

01:14:43.660 the ride

01:14:44.220 as we

01:14:45.180 ended up

01:14:45.660 doing a

01:14:46.060 deal with

01:14:46.800 Daily Wire

01:14:47.520 and not

01:14:48.220 a single

01:14:48.660 one of

01:14:49.020 them

01:14:49.180 complained

01:14:49.720 in fact

01:14:50.560 I don't

01:14:51.640 think

01:14:51.980 they're

01:14:52.280 they're

01:14:52.880 they're

01:14:53.200 necessarily

01:14:53.740 you know

01:14:55.180 this is

01:14:55.580 this is

01:14:55.940 not what

01:14:56.180 they certainly

01:14:56.700 signed up

01:14:57.280 for

01:14:57.540 but also

01:14:58.160 they were

01:14:58.960 so impressed

01:15:00.160 by the way

01:15:00.980 that we

01:15:01.460 carried

01:15:01.960 everything

01:15:02.520 through

01:15:03.040 together

01:15:03.580 and so

01:15:05.300 ultimately

01:15:05.880 the movie

01:15:07.040 above all

01:15:07.760 and the

01:15:08.960 movie is

01:15:09.440 in great

01:15:09.860 shape

01:15:10.240 the movie

01:15:10.860 reached

01:15:11.220 more people

01:15:11.980 tonight

01:15:12.460 than it

01:15:13.300 ever would

01:15:13.900 have

01:15:14.160 any

01:15:14.480 other

01:15:14.740 way

01:15:15.080 and it

01:15:15.980 will

01:15:16.140 continue

01:15:16.600 to reach

01:15:17.040 more

01:15:17.260 people

01:15:17.620 the trailer

01:15:18.200 numbers

01:15:18.660 were off

01:15:18.980 the charts

01:15:19.380 so this

01:15:20.320 is a

01:15:20.820 this is a

01:15:22.020 chance of a

01:15:22.540 lifetime

01:15:22.800 for all

01:15:23.320 of us

01:15:23.820 and I'll

01:15:25.100 just say

01:15:25.400 this about

01:15:25.780 Isabel May

01:15:26.380 you know

01:15:26.780 she is a

01:15:27.700 such a

01:15:29.680 talented actress

01:15:30.560 but an even

01:15:31.200 better human

01:15:32.020 kindness and

01:15:33.480 happiness

01:15:33.880 she's so

01:15:34.440 such a

01:15:34.840 happy person

01:15:35.520 lives by

01:15:36.740 this amazing

01:15:37.520 strict moral

01:15:38.200 code

01:15:38.700 but very

01:15:39.320 private about

01:15:40.020 it

01:15:40.180 and I

01:15:40.440 just adore

01:15:41.200 her

01:15:41.560 and I

01:15:42.000 think

01:15:42.320 whether you

01:15:43.540 believe in

01:15:44.900 divine intervention

01:15:46.020 luck or fate

01:15:47.120 hers is to be

01:15:48.880 a giant

01:15:49.760 giant

01:15:50.300 giant

01:15:50.780 movie star

01:15:51.600 she might not

01:15:53.080 even want that

01:15:54.080 but it is

01:15:55.100 her destiny

01:15:56.360 and I'm excited

01:15:57.640 that we could all

01:15:58.400 be a part of it

01:15:59.300 you know

01:15:59.600 early on

01:16:00.040 I really think

01:16:00.920 that people are

01:16:01.400 going to look

01:16:01.680 back in 10

01:16:02.160 years and be

01:16:02.600 like all these

01:16:03.420 names were in

01:16:03.980 that film

01:16:04.320 like really

01:16:05.220 there's so many

01:16:05.980 talented performers

01:16:06.680 that's the most

01:16:08.340 moving thing

01:16:09.140 that anybody

01:16:09.600 said to me

01:16:10.180 tonight that

01:16:10.740 the actors

01:16:11.480 didn't balk

01:16:12.600 because

01:16:13.520 it's unfortunate

01:16:16.540 being an artist

01:16:18.180 as you know

01:16:19.340 takes a lot of

01:16:20.280 courage

01:16:20.660 it means

01:16:21.280 you're betting

01:16:22.100 your life

01:16:22.520 you're betting

01:16:22.980 your life

01:16:23.480 most artists

01:16:24.840 are intelligent

01:16:25.400 enough to go

01:16:26.300 to law school

01:16:26.920 or to do

01:16:27.600 something else

01:16:28.160 and they bet

01:16:29.320 their life

01:16:29.800 on what they

01:16:30.200 do and what

01:16:30.620 they love

01:16:31.100 and to have

01:16:33.000 to also have

01:16:33.720 the courage

01:16:34.260 to stand up

01:16:35.120 against small

01:16:35.580 mindedness

01:16:36.200 and censoriousness

01:16:37.240 and deliver

01:16:38.980 what you have

01:16:39.920 to deliver

01:16:40.360 the talent

01:16:40.880 you've been

01:16:41.420 given by God

01:16:42.080 that's a

01:16:42.740 beautiful thing

01:16:43.280 and if you

01:16:43.980 found actors

01:16:44.700 who are willing

01:16:45.220 to do that

01:16:45.860 then you have

01:16:46.680 laid the foundation

01:16:47.960 for a genuine

01:16:48.980 movement

01:16:49.400 I think

01:16:49.920 Dallas Kyle

01:16:51.500 thank you guys

01:16:52.020 for spending time

01:16:52.660 with us

01:16:52.880 we're going to

01:16:53.180 bring Matt

01:16:53.640 and Michael

01:16:54.100 back on

01:16:55.600 the night

01:16:55.940 and Alicia

01:16:56.580 if you'd tell

01:16:57.440 everybody at home

01:16:58.140 how they can

01:16:58.540 continue to support

01:16:59.280 this film

01:16:59.800 and the future

01:17:00.340 entertainment projects

01:17:01.200 from the Daily Wire

01:17:02.280 absolutely

01:17:03.600 as the God King

01:17:04.460 Jeremy Boring

01:17:05.000 said earlier

01:17:05.620 in the show

01:17:06.200 this is a film

01:17:06.940 that we want

01:17:07.400 everyone to

01:17:08.140 watch and see

01:17:08.940 and if you

01:17:09.980 didn't watch it

01:17:10.480 live tonight

01:17:11.020 it's not too late

01:17:12.420 you know how

01:17:13.040 sometimes pre-COVID

01:17:14.120 you could go to

01:17:14.660 the movie theater

01:17:15.240 well now on the

01:17:15.980 comfort of your

01:17:16.520 couch you can be

01:17:17.280 sure to become

01:17:17.760 a Daily Wire

01:17:18.440 subscriber

01:17:18.920 and be sure

01:17:20.460 to sign up

01:17:21.060 over there

01:17:21.480 so if you

01:17:21.900 missed tonight's

01:17:22.660 live stream

01:17:23.120 it's not too late

01:17:23.940 because you'll be

01:17:24.700 able to watch

01:17:25.340 the film

01:17:25.860 on demand

01:17:26.680 at the Daily Wire

01:17:27.560 website

01:17:28.060 mobile app

01:17:28.860 or streaming apps

01:17:30.080 like Apple

01:17:30.720 and Roku TV

01:17:31.640 but only if you're

01:17:33.120 a Daily Wire

01:17:33.920 insider member

01:17:34.880 or above

01:17:35.760 so as Jeremy

01:17:37.000 stated earlier

01:17:37.700 politics is

01:17:38.840 downstream from

01:17:39.460 culture

01:17:39.820 and tonight

01:17:40.460 was the Daily Wire's

01:17:41.620 first step

01:17:42.260 in taking back

01:17:43.060 the culture

01:17:43.520 and we believe

01:17:44.440 that conservatives

01:17:45.020 can be in this

01:17:45.820 fight without

01:17:46.360 making stereotypical

01:17:47.640 or boring

01:17:48.440 or Christianese

01:17:49.580 type content

01:17:50.180 we can make

01:17:51.200 stories that spark

01:17:51.940 conversations

01:17:52.620 that the left

01:17:53.300 doesn't want to

01:17:54.260 have

01:17:54.640 and Hollywood

01:17:55.320 only wants to

01:17:56.060 stand unchallenged

01:17:57.180 on their moral

01:17:57.740 high ground

01:17:58.300 and they have

01:17:59.400 owned entertainment

01:18:00.020 for a very

01:18:00.940 long time

01:18:01.740 but the Daily Wire

01:18:02.840 is going to

01:18:03.460 change that

01:18:04.020 they are ready

01:18:04.800 to do more

01:18:05.520 than comment

01:18:06.100 but if you want

01:18:06.940 to see them

01:18:08.040 take on this

01:18:08.800 fight

01:18:09.140 then we need

01:18:10.040 you to join us

01:18:10.900 in the news

01:18:11.780 Washington Post

01:18:12.660 is nearing

01:19:23.780 digital movie

01:19:24.560 premiere

01:19:24.860 tonight

01:19:25.240 if it

01:19:25.600 wasn't

01:19:25.880 for all

01:19:26.220 of you

01:19:26.520 thank you

01:19:28.120 Alicia

01:19:28.460 fellas

01:19:29.200 we're rejoined

01:19:30.320 now by

01:19:30.800 bearded

01:19:31.220 James Bond

01:19:31.800 and our

01:19:32.080 waiter

01:19:32.280 I'd love

01:19:34.020 to hear

01:19:34.220 from the

01:19:34.480 two of

01:19:34.780 you

01:19:34.960 what you

01:19:35.300 thought

01:19:35.440 about

01:19:35.600 the

01:19:35.740 film

01:19:35.900 tonight

01:19:36.180 well first

01:19:37.880 of all I

01:19:38.080 think Michael

01:19:38.680 and I have done

01:19:39.040 a really good

01:19:39.400 job tonight

01:19:39.880 some of our

01:19:42.280 best work

01:19:42.800 all year

01:19:43.280 I thought

01:19:44.660 just to echo

01:19:45.300 everything that's

01:19:45.660 already been said

01:19:46.140 really but

01:19:46.480 first of all

01:19:47.620 it's escapism

01:19:48.200 so it's a movie

01:19:49.260 that you watch

01:19:49.920 and it's just

01:19:50.280 entertaining

01:19:50.680 and you feel

01:19:51.760 like you're in

01:19:52.200 it and you

01:19:53.100 forget that you're

01:19:53.580 watching a movie

01:19:54.020 which is what

01:19:54.400 movies are supposed

01:19:55.200 to be but so

01:19:55.840 often they're not

01:19:56.360 these days

01:19:56.780 and I also like

01:19:58.240 that the bad

01:19:59.600 guy Tristan

01:20:00.160 was a really

01:20:02.260 interesting character

01:20:03.820 but he's not the

01:20:04.580 most interesting

01:20:05.340 character because

01:20:06.080 it's so hard

01:20:07.040 it seems like

01:20:08.180 to write

01:20:09.500 a good guy

01:20:11.320 who's also

01:20:11.760 compelling

01:20:12.180 and who you

01:20:12.960 want to know

01:20:14.000 more about

01:20:14.560 and there's

01:20:15.500 layers to the

01:20:16.420 good guy

01:20:17.060 or good girl

01:20:17.580 in this case

01:20:18.060 so that's what

01:20:19.040 I like

01:20:19.280 it's a movie

01:20:19.920 where there's

01:20:20.580 virtue and

01:20:21.120 heroism

01:20:21.600 and the good

01:20:22.720 guy wins

01:20:23.380 but the good

01:20:23.960 guy is also

01:20:24.340 interesting

01:20:24.920 and it's just

01:20:26.700 a compelling

01:20:27.160 film

01:20:27.820 you know what

01:20:28.820 I like about

01:20:29.380 it

01:20:29.520 is that

01:20:30.300 the quality

01:20:31.120 is good

01:20:31.740 and I know

01:20:32.580 this seems

01:20:32.980 like a basic

01:20:34.040 thing

01:20:34.300 but how many

01:20:35.060 of us

01:20:35.340 we know a lot

01:20:36.260 of people

01:20:36.520 in Hollywood

01:20:36.980 and we've seen

01:20:37.900 a lot of movies

01:20:38.400 that were made

01:20:38.820 on a shoestring

01:20:39.580 and you know

01:20:40.960 they'll say

01:20:41.320 well look

01:20:41.900 yeah maybe

01:20:42.320 the writing

01:20:42.700 was bad

01:20:43.240 and the shooting

01:20:44.020 was bad

01:20:44.620 and the acting

01:20:45.080 was really bad

01:20:45.860 and you know

01:20:46.740 the editing

01:20:47.200 was god awful

01:20:48.180 but you know

01:20:48.820 the idea

01:20:49.420 was really good

01:20:50.280 so give us

01:20:50.840 credit for it

01:20:51.440 right

01:20:51.580 that's not

01:20:52.400 how movies work

01:20:53.040 and you watch

01:20:54.200 this movie

01:20:54.780 and it works

01:20:56.400 it fits together

01:20:57.300 it's good

01:20:57.980 very often

01:20:59.040 you know

01:20:59.720 acting

01:21:00.980 can suffer

01:21:01.600 I thought

01:21:02.560 the acting

01:21:03.020 was really

01:21:03.520 you know

01:21:03.900 and it's all

01:21:04.500 like I'm sure

01:21:05.200 Drew

01:21:05.420 when you watch

01:21:05.980 movies

01:21:06.320 you watch it

01:21:07.400 I imagine

01:21:08.300 largely for the

01:21:09.000 writing

01:21:09.260 I do

01:21:09.700 and I watch it

01:21:10.740 primarily for the

01:21:11.540 acting

01:21:11.760 it's the only

01:21:12.060 thing I know

01:21:12.380 anything about

01:21:12.940 in movies

01:21:13.400 and the acting

01:21:14.840 was excellent

01:21:15.500 particularly the

01:21:16.380 protagonist performance

01:21:17.440 was just

01:21:18.440 stellar

01:21:19.400 you know

01:21:19.860 it was just a

01:21:20.460 really excellent

01:21:21.180 performance

01:21:21.640 and I'm just

01:21:22.380 so pleased

01:21:23.080 after

01:21:23.480 you know

01:21:24.860 there's a lot

01:21:25.240 of schlock

01:21:25.700 that's come

01:21:26.120 out of

01:21:26.500 Hollywood

01:21:27.100 and even

01:21:27.880 out of people

01:21:28.340 who want

01:21:28.660 to do

01:21:28.880 something in

01:21:29.280 culture

01:21:29.560 and I just

01:21:30.280 felt this was

01:21:31.120 really strong

01:21:32.700 quality stuff

01:21:33.380 to be honest

01:21:34.100 when I heard

01:21:34.960 about the movie

01:21:35.400 I was terrified

01:21:36.000 that it would

01:21:36.480 suck

01:21:36.760 I was really

01:21:39.360 worried that

01:21:39.800 we'd have to

01:21:40.200 pretend to like

01:21:40.920 a movie that

01:21:41.560 was bad

01:21:42.120 especially doing

01:21:42.980 this right now

01:21:43.620 but it really

01:21:45.120 doesn't suck at

01:21:45.840 all

01:21:45.940 it's a very

01:21:46.320 good movie

01:21:46.800 you heard it

01:21:47.720 here folks

01:21:48.140 it really

01:21:48.560 doesn't suck

01:21:49.160 but it is

01:21:56.540 it is certainly

01:21:57.020 true that I

01:21:57.480 have been at

01:21:57.780 movie premieres

01:21:58.540 where I have

01:21:59.440 been friends

01:22:00.520 through knows

01:22:01.160 this

01:22:01.420 where I have

01:22:02.120 been friends

01:22:02.600 with people

01:22:03.040 who made

01:22:03.900 the movie

01:22:04.300 and then I

01:22:04.760 have been

01:22:05.060 roped into

01:22:06.060 a situation

01:22:08.060 as a

01:22:09.000 quasi famous

01:22:09.920 person where

01:22:10.460 they ask for

01:22:11.080 an endorsement

01:22:11.680 on camera

01:22:12.220 of the film

01:22:12.820 and I somehow

01:22:13.920 literally just

01:22:14.640 shove a camera

01:22:15.120 in your face

01:22:15.440 literally

01:22:15.860 they put me

01:22:16.460 up against

01:22:16.740 a step and

01:22:17.140 repeat

01:22:17.340 and they put

01:22:17.820 a camera

01:22:18.100 in my face

01:22:18.540 like so

01:22:18.880 what did

01:22:19.120 you think

01:22:19.420 of the movie

01:22:19.880 and I'm

01:22:20.180 friends with

01:22:20.480 all the people

01:22:20.780 who made it

01:22:21.060 and I'm like

01:22:21.220 well it really

01:22:22.220 got its point

01:22:22.780 across

01:22:23.240 it was like

01:22:27.380 on a big screen

01:22:28.700 no coward

01:22:30.680 used to say

01:22:31.200 he would go

01:22:31.500 back and say

01:22:32.040 darling

01:22:32.740 good just

01:22:33.880 isn't the word

01:22:34.860 yeah it is

01:22:40.200 an absolutely

01:22:40.880 true statement

01:22:41.500 that this

01:22:41.940 that the

01:22:43.480 unfortunate reality

01:22:44.400 is the majority

01:22:44.980 of things that

01:22:45.520 you engage

01:22:46.060 aren't great

01:22:46.880 right

01:22:47.900 and so

01:22:48.620 to be able

01:22:50.300 to be a part

01:22:50.740 of something

01:22:51.040 that is great

01:22:51.840 that is both

01:22:53.420 a quality film

01:22:54.900 and a film

01:22:55.460 of quality

01:22:55.980 it has

01:22:56.460 quality values

01:22:57.780 it has a quality

01:22:59.020 story and it was

01:22:59.680 delivered with quality

01:23:00.460 is a pretty special

01:23:01.700 thing

01:23:01.980 every time that

01:23:03.500 anyone pulls

01:23:04.160 off a film

01:23:04.800 even if it's a

01:23:06.240 terrible disaster

01:23:07.420 in some ways

01:23:08.540 they just have

01:23:09.080 my

01:23:09.420 if nothing else

01:23:11.140 they have my

01:23:11.640 sympathy

01:23:12.020 because it's

01:23:12.860 such a brutal

01:23:13.540 thing to produce

01:23:14.600 a film

01:23:14.920 I imagine

01:23:16.140 that when

01:23:17.420 you see a

01:23:18.140 woman with

01:23:18.500 like five

01:23:18.960 kids

01:23:19.340 and you know

01:23:19.960 that after

01:23:20.360 each and

01:23:20.800 every one

01:23:21.260 she thought

01:23:21.700 I am never

01:23:22.780 doing that

01:23:23.320 again

01:23:23.560 but in the

01:23:24.480 end

01:23:24.780 having a

01:23:26.440 kid

01:23:26.700 is so much

01:23:27.540 better than

01:23:28.100 having a

01:23:28.600 kid

01:23:28.820 it's the same

01:23:29.660 with making

01:23:30.020 a movie

01:23:30.380 like having

01:23:31.460 made a movie

01:23:32.160 is so much

01:23:32.900 better than

01:23:33.380 making a movie

01:23:34.040 which is just

01:23:34.840 like fire and

01:23:35.640 brimstone

01:23:36.160 desolation

01:23:36.860 coming your way

01:23:37.460 from every

01:23:37.840 direction

01:23:38.220 that anybody

01:23:39.520 who makes it

01:23:40.040 through

01:23:40.380 has a certain

01:23:41.360 amount of my

01:23:42.020 respect but to

01:23:43.360 make it through

01:23:43.940 and actually

01:23:44.360 deliver something

01:23:44.920 of quality

01:23:45.400 it's an

01:23:46.220 incredible

01:23:46.500 especially

01:23:46.720 we're the

01:23:47.820 ones who

01:23:48.260 are in on

01:23:49.220 the film

01:23:49.440 so what our

01:23:49.780 audience thinks

01:23:50.360 is actually

01:23:50.780 what matters

01:23:51.320 and so once

01:23:51.980 again we're

01:23:52.380 going to tell

01:23:52.660 you that if

01:23:52.980 you really

01:23:53.280 enjoyed the

01:23:53.780 content

01:23:54.200 if you want

01:23:54.840 your friends

01:23:55.160 to know

01:23:55.400 about it

01:23:55.620 if you want

01:23:55.780 your family

01:23:56.140 to know

01:23:56.420 about it

01:23:56.780 then we

01:23:57.540 would really

01:23:57.940 appreciate

01:23:58.320 your membership

01:23:58.760 and joining

01:23:59.380 the broader

01:24:00.540 cause of getting

01:24:01.280 us into the

01:24:01.720 entertainment business

01:24:02.360 so we can

01:24:02.720 compete with

01:24:03.600 the much

01:24:04.300 bigger players

01:24:04.840 who will spend

01:24:05.440 literally 100

01:24:07.260 times the budget

01:24:07.920 of this film

01:24:08.480 on making a

01:24:09.340 movie that is

01:24:10.200 100th the

01:24:11.000 quality and also

01:24:12.040 hates your

01:24:12.360 values

01:24:12.740 you know

01:24:13.740 the other

01:24:14.680 thing that you

01:24:15.100 said that is

01:24:15.640 actually important

01:24:16.580 is if you're

01:24:18.560 completely disappointed

01:24:20.460 in this film

01:24:20.940 if you don't

01:24:21.780 like it at all

01:24:22.440 if you object

01:24:23.320 to it

01:24:23.740 shut up

01:24:24.640 and this is

01:24:25.880 a funny thing

01:24:28.280 I believe in

01:24:28.760 speaking your

01:24:29.640 mind but as

01:24:30.180 you just said

01:24:30.700 when you're

01:24:31.100 going up with

01:24:31.640 your friends

01:24:32.120 you do

01:24:34.060 something kind

01:24:34.700 you know

01:24:35.200 and you don't

01:24:35.860 lie

01:24:36.180 you don't say

01:24:36.900 this is a

01:24:37.260 great movie

01:24:37.660 but if you

01:24:38.940 love this film

01:24:40.120 and you had

01:24:40.500 objections to it

01:24:41.100 that's great

01:24:41.520 we want to

01:24:41.960 hear it

01:24:42.200 we want to

01:24:42.460 talk about

01:24:42.940 that's what

01:24:43.260 movies are

01:24:43.660 for

01:24:43.860 they're

01:24:44.160 disgusting

01:24:44.900 but if you

01:24:45.840 just feel

01:24:46.300 like oh my

01:24:47.020 god they

01:24:47.760 cursed

01:24:48.200 and I don't

01:24:48.960 want to

01:24:49.140 know it

01:24:49.360 your opinion

01:24:50.480 is not that

01:24:50.900 important

01:24:51.340 just keep it

01:24:51.920 to yourself

01:24:52.320 no seriously

01:24:53.820 I'm absolutely

01:24:54.700 serious

01:24:55.080 this is a

01:24:55.800 moment when

01:24:56.760 the Daily Wire

01:24:57.620 is doing

01:24:57.900 something beautiful

01:24:58.740 it is doing

01:24:59.380 something beautiful

01:25:00.020 we're not

01:25:01.260 going to always

01:25:01.620 be right

01:25:01.980 we're not

01:25:02.560 going to

01:25:02.700 always do

01:25:03.320 the best

01:25:03.720 you know

01:25:04.700 give us a

01:25:06.240 break

01:25:06.420 give us a

01:25:06.980 break

01:25:07.140 we're happy

01:25:07.860 to hear your

01:25:08.480 opinion if you

01:25:09.100 like the film

01:25:09.660 and you had

01:25:09.940 objections and

01:25:10.780 you want to

01:25:11.040 talk about it

01:25:11.520 that's wonderful

01:25:12.400 but if you're

01:25:12.960 just going to

01:25:13.300 run us down

01:25:13.960 you know

01:25:14.540 the good news

01:25:16.520 is that

01:25:17.020 just looking

01:25:18.180 at Twitter

01:25:18.560 the comments

01:25:19.500 are like

01:25:20.160 100% positive

01:25:21.300 which is amazing

01:25:22.980 because the

01:25:23.660 comments are

01:25:24.000 never 100%

01:25:24.520 positive about

01:25:24.980 anything

01:25:25.280 especially if

01:25:25.900 you know

01:25:26.660 so it's

01:25:27.860 wait people say

01:25:28.680 mean things

01:25:29.040 on Twitter

01:25:29.700 not to you

01:25:32.440 of course

01:25:32.820 I've only had

01:25:34.160 positive experiences

01:25:34.940 on Twitter

01:25:35.320 ever

01:25:35.620 it's a wonderful

01:25:36.940 place

01:25:37.280 it is true

01:25:37.740 that we've

01:25:38.080 taken quite a

01:25:38.700 risk here

01:25:39.020 not only a

01:25:39.520 risk of

01:25:39.900 money

01:25:40.580 because it's

01:25:41.020 quite expensive

01:25:41.500 to get involved

01:25:42.060 in a project

01:25:42.660 like this

01:25:43.700 by the

01:25:44.140 economic standards

01:25:45.060 of a company

01:25:45.580 our size

01:25:46.140 but we've

01:25:46.860 taken a risk

01:25:47.300 with our audience

01:25:47.880 because we are

01:25:48.320 challenging them

01:25:48.880 we're challenging

01:25:49.420 them to

01:25:50.580 actually watch

01:25:53.720 art

01:25:55.180 to watch

01:25:56.120 entertainment

01:25:56.600 from their

01:25:58.080 side

01:25:58.560 that they would

01:25:59.280 readily accept

01:26:00.000 from the other

01:26:00.560 side

01:26:00.900 and this is

01:26:01.540 one of the

01:26:01.820 problems that

01:26:02.320 you often run

01:26:03.320 into

01:26:03.640 when you

01:26:04.760 speak to a

01:26:05.640 largely ideological

01:26:06.280 audience

01:26:06.940 they will

01:26:08.080 not give

01:26:09.340 us

01:26:09.660 the same

01:26:10.480 level of

01:26:10.900 grace

01:26:11.260 that they

01:26:11.740 will give

01:26:12.100 people who

01:26:13.240 hate them

01:26:13.600 so they'll

01:26:14.680 all go watch

01:26:15.360 Marvel movies

01:26:16.420 that have

01:26:17.140 themes that

01:26:17.560 they don't

01:26:17.840 like

01:26:18.140 or that

01:26:18.400 have

01:26:18.640 language

01:26:19.160 that they

01:26:19.500 don't

01:26:19.680 like

01:26:20.020 but they

01:26:21.780 don't care

01:26:22.180 because they

01:26:23.220 don't feel

01:26:23.600 invested

01:26:24.080 ideologically

01:26:24.700 they'll watch

01:26:25.760 something that

01:26:26.420 we produce

01:26:27.040 they'll say

01:26:27.280 oh it had

01:26:27.580 bad language

01:26:28.260 or it had

01:26:28.740 nudity in it

01:26:30.140 or it had

01:26:30.480 violence in it

01:26:31.540 and they'll

01:26:32.280 be

01:26:32.480 they will

01:26:33.660 feel that

01:26:34.320 somehow that

01:26:34.700 was a betrayal

01:26:35.340 of them

01:26:35.880 when watching

01:26:37.660 something even

01:26:38.660 Game of Thrones

01:26:39.380 and what they

01:26:40.660 don't know

01:26:41.280 what they don't

01:26:41.880 realize is

01:26:42.460 I was advocating

01:26:43.420 for much

01:26:44.340 much more nudity

01:26:45.200 I mean you

01:26:45.760 remember

01:26:46.180 knockdown

01:26:47.460 drag outs

01:26:48.040 we had to

01:26:48.880 cut Michael's

01:26:49.920 nude scene

01:26:50.260 out of this

01:26:50.520 out of this

01:26:52.200 program

01:26:52.580 we had to

01:26:52.920 cut it out

01:26:53.240 of this

01:26:53.440 program

01:26:53.760 it's like

01:26:55.000 put on your

01:26:55.440 tuxedo

01:26:55.980 we talk about

01:26:56.940 challenging the

01:26:57.400 audience

01:26:57.600 the truth is

01:26:58.860 that we

01:26:59.440 wouldn't have

01:27:00.060 done this

01:27:00.440 if we didn't

01:27:00.740 trust that

01:27:01.140 the audience

01:27:01.640 was going to

01:27:02.360 understand what

01:27:02.800 we're doing

01:27:03.020 because we

01:27:03.400 know our

01:27:03.960 audience better

01:27:04.360 than anybody

01:27:04.740 else

01:27:05.080 and our

01:27:05.480 audience knows

01:27:06.100 what we're

01:27:06.300 doing

01:27:06.440 our audience

01:27:06.780 is sophisticated

01:27:07.380 they are

01:27:08.020 smart

01:27:08.360 they recognize

01:27:09.420 exactly what

01:27:10.000 the challenge

01:27:10.420 is and they

01:27:11.360 recognize that

01:27:12.020 if nobody moves

01:27:12.820 into the space

01:27:13.460 then the space

01:27:14.460 will remain

01:27:14.740 unoccupied but

01:27:15.680 not for long

01:27:16.300 because it's

01:27:16.700 being occupied

01:27:17.220 by the left

01:27:17.720 that's right

01:27:18.080 and you can't

01:27:19.480 say oh why

01:27:20.360 have we lost

01:27:20.880 the culture

01:27:21.380 and then penalize

01:27:22.660 anyone who

01:27:23.040 actually tries to

01:27:23.580 get involved in

01:27:24.140 the culture

01:27:24.520 right

01:27:24.820 and I don't

01:27:25.320 think our

01:27:25.520 audience

01:27:25.820 the evidence

01:27:26.820 demonstrates

01:27:27.400 very strongly

01:27:28.260 over the last

01:27:28.700 couple of

01:27:29.020 weeks that

01:27:29.340 thanks to

01:27:29.660 your support

01:27:30.060 that is not

01:27:30.600 the case

01:27:30.960 that you all

01:27:31.360 understand what

01:27:31.880 we're doing

01:27:32.120 and we really

01:27:32.600 honestly thank you

01:27:33.520 to you guys

01:27:34.000 we really really

01:27:35.100 appreciate that

01:27:35.760 we appreciate

01:27:36.140 your grace

01:27:36.540 we appreciate

01:27:37.320 your adventurous

01:27:37.860 spirit and

01:27:38.440 coming with us

01:27:39.000 on this journey

01:27:39.720 and we're

01:27:40.820 counting on you

01:27:41.240 to help us

01:27:41.640 allow us to do

01:27:42.900 more of this

01:27:43.320 sort of stuff

01:27:44.120 yeah

01:27:44.340 I made a piece

01:27:46.780 of content

01:27:47.540 one time

01:27:48.000 and somebody

01:27:49.040 ideological came up

01:27:50.020 and said

01:27:50.240 I'm so disappointed

01:27:51.520 that you had

01:27:52.680 this bad language

01:27:53.500 in your film

01:27:54.060 and I thought

01:27:54.620 you just don't

01:27:55.540 know me at all

01:27:56.340 how could you

01:27:57.920 possibly be

01:27:58.600 disappointed

01:27:59.120 I'm a bad

01:28:01.420 bad man

01:28:02.060 well thank you

01:28:04.040 guys for joining

01:28:04.680 us for the

01:28:08.600 hope the first

01:28:09.400 of many pieces

01:28:11.340 of entertainment

01:28:12.260 content that we're

01:28:12.860 going to bring

01:28:13.160 to you

01:28:13.360 entertainment

01:28:13.780 that you watch

01:28:14.820 for the sake

01:28:15.340 of entertainment

01:28:15.900 not for the

01:28:16.960 sake of the

01:28:17.360 mission

01:28:17.560 we want to

01:28:17.940 make content

01:28:18.400 that you want

01:28:18.840 to see

01:28:19.100 not content

01:28:19.840 that you think

01:28:20.320 you're supposed

01:28:20.700 to see

01:28:21.180 and with your

01:28:22.060 help we're

01:28:22.400 going to continue

01:28:22.840 doing just

01:28:24.240 we'll be back

01:28:24.760 probably to talk

01:28:25.280 about politics

01:28:29.560 tonight

01:28:29.880 to talk

01:28:30.460 about

01:28:30.620 something

01:28:30.860 that's

01:28:31.060 more important

01:28:31.480 than politics

01:28:32.020 something from

01:28:32.540 which all

01:28:33.220 politics

01:28:33.680 actually

01:28:34.200 eventually

01:28:34.860 stems

01:28:35.340 and that's

01:28:36.080 culture
