00:00:00.000 Hey everyone, this is Matt Walsh. I'm very excited that you get to hear this latest episode of Backstage.
00:00:04.700 This was a special event for The Daily Wire because we're celebrating our newly released film, Shut In.
00:00:09.460 You can join me, Ben Shapiro, Andrew Klavan, Michael Knowles, and the God King, Jeremy Boring,
00:00:12.980 as we discuss the Joe Rogan debacle, cancel culture, and share our insights on our fantastic new film.
00:00:18.720 Take a listen.
00:00:30.000 I like that Matt can't even fake laugh. Joyless scold.
00:00:49.440 Tonight's show is sponsored by ExpressVPN.

00:00:58.280 Joining us tonight, well, you know everybody, Ben, Andrew, Matt, Michael, me, Jeremy, the God King,
00:01:03.620 the lowly, lowly guy who calls himself a God King.
00:01:06.300 For tonight's show, Daily Wire members can ask us questions in the chat box over at dailywire.com,
00:01:11.300 and we will answer them. I mean, we say that every time, we rarely do, but I promise we're going to try.
00:01:16.460 If you haven't heard yet, Daily Wire is fulfilling our promise tonight of bringing entertainment that's actually,
00:01:21.340 you know, entertaining, which is why we're very excited that you're joining us tonight,
00:01:24.840 and we would love for you to join us after the show for the streaming premiere of our first original production, Shut In.
00:01:32.600 The film is a tale of redemption amid an intense and suspenseful thriller that delivers riveting action without missing a beat.
00:01:38.200 And if you weren't planning on tuning in, I hope you are now.
00:01:41.000 Again, that'll happen right after the show tonight.
00:01:43.800 It's going to be on the Daily Wire channel as well.
00:01:45.740 For all of you YouTube subscribers out there, head over to the Daily Wire YouTube channel after the show.
00:01:50.440 Keep your eye on the countdown at the bottom of the screen.
00:01:53.120 Click the link in the description to join the premiere to make sure you catch the film
00:01:56.540 and a few other sneak peeks of what we've got in store for you throughout the rest of the year.
00:02:01.580 Guys, it's a new day.
00:02:04.580 It's a new week.
00:02:06.040 Change is in the air.
00:02:07.200 I would like to come out and say that I fully favor masking our children.
00:02:10.600 And that vaccine should be mandated for all.
00:02:14.620 And my hope is that the entire right wing will change their narrative on this as quickly as the mainstream media seems to have been in the last 72 hours.
00:02:23.460 If you did, you would only be following the data and the science.
00:02:25.640 If you shifted, you would only be following the data and the science.
00:02:29.660 Can I just say, I'm not sure what frustrates me more.
00:02:32.060 The fact that they are claiming credit while changing or the fact that some of them are not even changing.
00:02:41.620 Honestly, I'm having a tough time with this.
00:02:43.080 Some of them are like, well, you know, like the CDC.
00:02:45.260 Well, we'll just stick to our guns here.
00:02:46.520 We still have to mask the children.
00:02:47.620 It's very important.
00:02:48.820 And to a certain extent, I have to say, okay, well, at least they're committed to the lie.
00:02:51.600 Like, they're just going to stick with this thing all the way through.
00:02:53.660 And then you have the people who have told a new lie.
00:02:55.260 And I think I find the new lie even more despicable because the new lie is that, yes, yes, we're releasing our grip upon the throats of the American people.
00:03:02.480 And, yes, we're finally allowing some children to unmask.
00:03:04.940 But it's only because we always wanted to, guys.
00:03:07.120 We always wanted to.
00:03:08.200 And now the data have changed and we've been following the science.
00:03:10.920 And honestly, it's because of you guys that it's lasted this long.
00:03:14.220 Because if you had followed the science like us, we wouldn't have had to do it this long.
00:03:17.080 But, you know, nothing changes like science.
00:03:19.060 That's what I've always said.
00:03:19.660 The real reason why they need to get rid of all the masks now is you can't smoke crack with a mask on.
00:03:25.260 So if you want to put the pipe in, you've got to take the mask off.
00:03:28.140 What I would say is we now have to thank the truck fudeau movement in Canada.
00:03:33.620 We now have to be nice to Canadians because that's obviously one of the things.
00:03:37.420 They're looking at their poll numbers.
00:03:38.500 But they're also thinking those trucks come here.
00:03:41.260 It's not going to be a pretty sight.
00:03:42.640 We're going to have supply side problems out the wazoo.
00:03:46.280 Truckers are officially the only Canadians that I support.
00:03:49.120 Exactly.
00:03:49.740 But they seem to be everybody.
00:03:50.960 By the way, I'm just going to point out here that under no circumstances do I believe,
00:03:55.360 that Justin Trudeau is Fidel Castro's son?
00:03:57.580 100% do not believe.
00:03:59.140 No, of course not.
00:03:59.780 They don't look alike?
00:04:01.500 Young Fidel Castro and Justin Trudeau?
00:04:03.680 His mom was definitely not in Cuba when she was in Cuba about eight and a half months before.
00:04:07.120 With a certain reputation?
00:04:08.480 Certainly didn't have that.
00:04:09.360 None of that happened.
00:04:10.140 He's definitely not related to Fidel Castro.
00:04:12.200 And all rumors, to the contrary, are scurrilous and baseless.
00:04:16.620 So wait, is he just channeling Castro?
00:04:19.540 I said on Twitter, he's the bastard son of Castro either way.
00:04:23.160 But it is astonishing to Hakeem Jeffries.
00:04:28.040 Did you see this one, Hakeem Jeffries, that was going around?
00:04:30.260 The Democratic congressman from New York, who is thought by many to be the heir apparent
00:04:33.540 to Nancy Pelosi should she not be the speaker anymore.
00:04:36.520 And he actually gave a quote where he said that we can finally unmask and let go of all this
00:04:43.220 because, after all, Joe Biden has won.
00:04:45.920 Joe Biden has achieved victory over COVID.
00:04:48.220 And largely, that's because of the American Rescue Plan.
00:04:50.840 If it had not been for the American Rescue Plan and Joe Biden's intervention,
00:04:54.100 then we would all still be masking up forever.
00:04:56.480 And all I wanted to do at that moment was reach through the television and commit
00:04:59.840 acts that would get me thrown in jail.
00:05:02.520 Except I'd be in New York, so I'd be okay, probably.
00:05:04.880 There's no bail.
00:05:05.820 This is the part of politics I like, the line and open corruption where
00:05:10.480 if you believe this, you deserve everything you get.
00:05:14.660 As for me, it's high comedy.
00:05:16.080 It's high comedy to watch a guy.
00:05:17.480 He basically said, we lick this disease.
00:05:20.660 I mean, this virus has done exactly what every virus that has ever existed on the face of the earth.
00:05:24.820 It peaks, it goes away.
00:05:27.040 It has nothing to do with anything they've done.
00:05:28.660 Well, I mean, the joke of it is, by their standard, it isn't going away.
00:05:32.700 The actual hospitalization and death rates are higher today than they were when L.A.
00:05:37.020 re-implemented all of its lockdown policies.
00:05:39.660 I sent a shout-out to you.
00:05:40.840 I don't know if you saw it on Twitter.
00:05:42.000 I did.
00:05:42.260 I know it hurt you.
00:05:43.040 I did.
00:05:43.820 I ripped it out of my side.
00:05:45.980 Like, you know, my kidney.
00:05:47.980 It is.
00:05:48.520 Because you were so right about the shutdown.
00:05:50.840 And Dennis Prager, too.
00:05:52.240 He said it was the worst mistake anyone had ever made.
00:05:55.040 I thought, well, World War I.
00:05:56.080 I still think World War I was a little worse.
00:05:58.200 Up there, at least.
00:05:59.060 What shows you how evil this is, of course, we know this is not unrelated to 2022 in the
00:06:04.020 midterm elections, if I could engage in conspiracy theories.
00:06:06.740 But when children started killing themselves in record numbers, like, that was not enough.
00:06:13.140 In fact, that was happening for a year.
00:06:16.160 And if you brought that up, I mean, I went and spoke at a school board meeting here in
00:06:21.080 Nashville.
00:06:21.380 And I brought up this problem of the psychological effects of masks.
00:06:23.840 And that was still at a time when people would laugh at you for, what do you mean, psychological
00:06:28.620 effects of masking?
00:06:30.300 And, of course, now we can talk about that.
00:06:32.220 But kids were killing themselves at record numbers for a year.
00:06:34.380 And that was not-
00:06:35.040 But you just needed goods over the Ambassador Bridge.
00:06:36.660 Right, right, exactly.
00:06:37.840 But there is this aspect, the dishonesty, the incompetence, the lies, that's very annoying.
00:06:43.980 The gaslighting is genuinely infuriating.
00:06:46.920 And the fact that you, just picking at random here, Fauci and Walensky, they come out, they
00:06:52.780 say, and Biden, for that matter, they say, the vaccine will stop you from getting infected
00:06:57.020 or transmitting the virus.
00:06:58.700 They will do that.
00:06:59.700 Then they come out later, they say, actually, the vaccine won't do that.
00:07:02.700 Then they come out later, they say, we never told you.
00:07:04.720 Right.
00:07:04.900 We never told you that it would do that.
00:07:06.620 They did it with the crack pipes.
00:07:08.280 They said, here's safe smoking kits, which include crack pipes.
00:07:11.760 There are pictures all over the internet of it.
00:07:13.020 And especially for black people.
00:07:14.020 You know what these lies do, and it really is, it's gaslighting of the highest order.
00:07:18.020 So Leanna Nguyen, who's been the lockdown, masking, crazy person this entire pandemic.
00:07:22.700 Three weeks ago, she was literally asking whether we got to lock the unvaccinated in
00:07:26.120 their homes.
00:07:26.540 I mean, this is something she was saying three weeks ago.
00:07:28.840 So she came out with this column in the Washington Post where she said, well, you know, there's
00:07:32.600 really three groups in America.
00:07:33.720 There are the people who are pro-mask, there are the people who are anti-mask, and then there
00:07:36.760 are those of us who follow the data.
00:07:38.400 And, you know, 2020 is not the same as 2022.
00:07:41.220 And it's like, well, you know, there was this intervening period between 2020 and 2022.
00:07:46.980 Because I think at the very beginning, nobody knew what to do with this thing.
00:07:49.380 At the very beginning, they were saying, you got to lock down because we literally didn't
00:07:51.700 know who was going to kill.
00:07:52.600 It could kill kids.
00:07:53.320 It could kill normal, you know, people who are 40.
00:07:54.900 It could kill people who are 70.
00:07:56.200 Then within two months, we knew that it was mainly killing people who are highly vulnerable
00:07:59.000 and or elderly.
00:08:00.400 We knew this within the first six weeks of the disease's course in the United States because
00:08:04.040 we had seen this happen in Italy already.
00:08:05.900 And then that data was clear.
00:08:07.860 And so people started saying, well, maybe we should shield the most vulnerable and allow
00:08:10.580 everybody else to live a freer life.
00:08:12.520 And then there was still some debate over, okay, what, if you infect somebody who's old?
00:08:15.240 Then the vaccines hit.
00:08:16.280 And at that point, we were done.
00:08:18.280 Not one piece of data has changed since vaccines became widely available.
00:08:22.320 The vaccines prevent hospitalization and death for the vast, vast, vast majority of people
00:08:25.840 who take them.
00:08:26.500 And they do not prevent transmission.
00:08:28.080 And we have known this for months.
00:08:29.140 And when it comes to Omicron, we have known that these masks do absolutely nothing.
00:08:33.000 And yet, again, all of this-
00:08:35.380 Not just with Omicron.
00:08:36.840 That's the one thing I'll-
00:08:37.860 Even Delta, by the way.
00:08:38.920 We knew that the masks were meaningless from the very, very, very, very, very beginning.
00:08:43.500 We glommed onto masks and the government glommed onto masks because they were desperate for
00:08:48.080 any kind of ornamentation, any kind of symbol.
00:08:51.740 A symbol, yeah.
00:08:52.260 A symbol that we're fighting back against it.
00:08:54.160 They knew before anyone had ever conceived of COVID, we knew what cloth masks do and don't
00:08:59.320 do.
00:08:59.580 You remember all of the, I wear my mask to protect you, you wear your mask to protect
00:09:03.240 me.
00:09:04.580 That's if you use the mask precisely, which also no one does.
00:09:08.440 If you've been in a grocery store in the last two and a half years, two years, you know
00:09:12.880 that when someone who is masked sneezes, they remove their mask.
00:09:16.360 Of course they do because it would be disgusting to sneeze into your mask and then have, you
00:09:21.100 know, snot in your face.
00:09:23.860 It's also, of course they do because they don't wear their mask to protect you.
00:09:27.360 At this point, if you are wearing a mask, it's either because of coercion or because
00:09:31.260 you have been so, yes, delusion that you are so fearful that you do believe that the
00:09:36.200 mask is protecting you from my germs, which is not science.
00:09:38.700 And to me, that's the part that's offensive because watching politicians lie amuses me.
00:09:42.460 That is actually what I get for laughs, you know.
00:09:44.060 But making me lie, I don't like that so much.
00:09:46.220 And I really feel that this has become part of the culture of America.
00:09:49.720 It's like, you know, Matt says a man can't become a woman.
00:09:52.520 I would never say that, of course, but Matt says it, you know, it's like you get, you
00:09:56.820 get penalized for that.
00:09:58.360 You come out and you say, you know, I think this Hunter Biden may be corrupt.
00:10:01.240 They throw you off Twitter.
00:10:02.400 I mean, it is the truth.
00:10:03.600 It literally, the truth that is being defined as misinformation.
00:10:07.200 That's right.
00:10:07.420 Any truth they don't like.
00:10:08.560 If you read their fact checks, many of the fact checks will say, this is accurate.
00:10:12.620 This is accurate.
00:10:13.180 This is accurate.
00:10:13.780 This is accurate.
00:10:14.500 False.
00:10:14.780 But, you know, this is the biggest, I think the biggest lie of all, like the master lie
00:10:18.660 here when it comes to this sort of stuff is that they ban conversations or they put critical
00:10:22.840 race theory in the schools or they put gender identity garbage in the schools.
00:10:26.160 They do all this stuff.
00:10:27.260 And then when you call them on it, they say, we're not doing it.
00:10:29.520 We're not doing it.
00:10:30.100 But we should be doing it.
00:10:31.940 And if we are doing it, it's good that it's happening.
00:10:33.880 And they tell these, they say these things simultaneously with a straight face.
00:10:37.740 And that's the part that's driving everybody up the wall.
00:10:39.460 Because that is true gaslighting.
00:10:41.020 Simultaneously saying we are not doing X.
00:10:42.760 And also, we are doing X.
00:10:44.140 And it's good that we're doing X.
00:10:45.500 These are mutually exclusive arguments.
00:10:46.860 And they will say these things in the same sentence on all of these topics, on all of
00:10:50.320 them.
00:10:50.660 We're not saying that you should mask forever.
00:10:52.200 But if we were saying you'd mask forever, then that would probably be a good thing.
00:10:54.540 We should keep in mind, too, that the government is, yeah, they're not going to shut down
00:10:59.380 COVID and they realize that.
00:11:00.600 But they've moved on to bigger fish now because now Biden is going to end cancer.
00:11:05.940 He's promised that.
00:11:07.100 And the transportation secretary is going to stop all traffic deaths within the next few
00:11:12.640 years.
00:11:12.760 He's announced that as well.
00:11:13.680 Through masking.
00:11:15.180 If someone relies on you for financial support, whether it's a child, an aging parent, or even
00:11:19.360 a business partner, you need life insurance.
00:11:21.480 I should have emphasized, even if it's your business partner, because I have a life insurance
00:11:25.300 policy on my business partner, that guy right there.
00:11:28.200 And where did I get it?
00:11:29.640 PolicyGenius.com.
00:11:30.820 You should do the same thing.

00:11:40.700 on you, even after you plot.

00:12:11.600 This is really the important part.
00:12:13.320 I think I've told you guys before, I got a policy from my wife and I when we were going
00:12:17.140 through the process of adopting our daughter.
00:12:19.240 It was at the beginning of the COVID pandemic.
00:12:21.620 Everyone in the world was locked down except me.
00:12:23.340 This is the honest to God truth.
00:12:24.460 I never for one day didn't go to the office.
00:12:26.620 But, you know, I let some of the peons who work for me not go so that they wouldn't affect
00:12:30.000 me with their disease.
00:12:32.160 I went to work.
00:12:33.060 My wife was at the office with me.
00:12:34.560 And we went to PolicyGenius.
00:12:36.060 We shopped for great life insurance because we were thinking for the first time about our responsibility
00:12:40.320 to this child who we were going to be responsible for.
00:12:42.800 And I didn't know how will this work.
00:12:45.360 The experts at PolicyGenius took care of everything, even at the height of the pandemic, the earliest
00:12:50.100 days of the pandemic.
00:12:51.440 They were able to find health care professionals to come and screen us for our life insurance
00:12:55.000 policies to get everything taken care of for us and to do it at an amazing rate.
00:12:59.760 So head over to PolicyGenius.com today to get your free life insurance quote and see how

00:13:05.680 PolicyGenius.com.
00:13:07.680 I'm very proud that plots has now answered.
00:13:10.920 I took it from you.
00:13:11.900 I know you did.
00:13:12.420 So this is, I'm not attempting to convert anyone except Drew back to Judaism.
00:13:16.100 All the rest of you guys are safe.
00:13:18.420 But I do wish to inject a couple of Yiddish words into common use.
00:13:21.840 Plots is one.
00:13:22.900 Shtup is the other one that you guys got to be.
00:13:24.300 Shtup is a great word.
00:13:25.200 Shtup is a great word.
00:13:26.080 Yes, it is.
00:13:26.720 And shtup is what we have been doing to us.
00:13:29.960 I wasn't going to get to Jeff Zucker quite that bad.
00:13:31.460 Can I just say that while we're getting rid of the masking and people are coming to their
00:13:38.260 senses about it, it makes it all the more frustrating that the one place in the country
00:13:43.900 where you still have to wear the mask all the time and will probably have to always wear
00:13:47.240 the mask is the one.
00:13:48.400 It's the safest place.
00:13:49.180 It's the one place where you never, where there's never any good reason to wear it,
00:13:51.880 which of course is on airplanes.
00:13:52.880 So we've all been doing a lot of traveling.
00:13:54.340 I've been traveling a lot over the last few weeks.
00:13:56.160 And I'm just, I get angrier and angrier every time I get on a plane.
00:13:59.280 Because this is so, it's so, everyone involved.
00:14:02.320 And it gives the petty authoritarians such pleasure.
00:14:04.980 They're so happy about it.
00:14:06.120 Everybody involved in it knows that there's no reason to be doing this and there never
00:14:09.480 was a good reason.
00:14:10.200 You know what I've noticed though?
00:14:11.160 What I've noticed on these, it's not airline dependent.
00:14:14.360 It's not day of the week dependent.
00:14:16.240 It's flight attendant dependent.
00:14:17.020 It's flight attendant.
00:14:17.700 And it depends where the flight attendants are based.
00:14:20.520 So, and if they happen to be based actually.
00:14:23.120 Because if you're flying from Texas to Tennessee, you're fine.
00:14:26.760 No joke.
00:14:27.520 I went on one.
00:14:28.080 The stewardess was wearing a mesh mask.
00:14:31.020 Actual like, you know, leggings.
00:14:33.000 I did this.
00:14:33.640 I went out and got myself, I found out that cloth masks specifically.
00:14:36.920 I went out and got myself a really fancy cloth mask.
00:14:39.060 It's kind of gauzy because I think if they're going to force me to wear a mask, I want them
00:14:42.820 to know it's not going to do a damn thing.
00:14:45.780 If I'm sick, I'm going to kill you.
00:14:46.880 I actually spray COVID on the outside of the mask before I get on the plane and just go on.
00:14:51.420 Yeah, it was only a few weeks ago that I was on a plane and I got yelled at by the flight
00:14:55.700 attendant because I was eating without a mask on, which of course, how can you do them both
00:15:00.420 at the same time?
00:15:01.040 But she explained to me that, no, sir, when you eat, you need to just lower the mask and
00:15:04.860 have it over your chin.
00:15:06.100 Yeah.
00:15:06.380 And then you can't take it all the way off because the COVID fumes can come out of your
00:15:10.660 chin.
00:15:10.860 I got worse.
00:15:12.580 I was eating popcorn on the plane, as I'm wont to do, and the flight attendant came by and
00:15:17.720 she said that I had to mask up between bites.
00:15:20.600 Yeah.
00:15:20.760 Which of you, I mean, when you eat popcorn, that's like half a second.
00:15:25.520 Between bites.
00:15:26.340 It's like, oh, yes, you've saved the universe.
00:15:28.840 Well done.
00:15:29.980 But it really is.
00:15:31.640 I wonder if there's going to be, I really think there will be a certain percentage of
00:15:34.600 the population, maybe 10% of the population that will continue wearing masks forever.
00:15:37.960 Did you see the study today?
00:15:39.600 No.
00:15:40.200 A YouGov Economist study just came out.
00:15:41.900 Now, who knows?
00:15:42.740 Take it with a grain of salt, if you will.
00:15:44.580 38% of people say that they still today wear masks every time they go outside.
00:15:50.720 Wow.
00:15:51.020 They're lying.
00:15:51.640 They're lying.
00:15:51.880 They're lying, right?
00:15:52.640 It's not true.
00:15:53.440 Yeah.
00:15:53.600 And only nine out of 10 men masturbate.
00:15:56.260 Yeah.
00:15:57.300 But you walk around-
00:15:57.920 1% are damn filthy liars.
00:16:00.280 You walk around D.C. and everybody's masked, except me.
00:16:03.500 Outdoors.
00:16:03.660 Are you serious?
00:16:04.060 Outdoors.
00:16:04.340 Still, everybody outside.
00:16:05.440 Everybody.
00:16:06.260 Outdoors.
00:16:06.660 Everybody's masked.
00:16:07.540 Do they know what outside is?
00:16:09.940 No.
00:16:10.420 Do they know they're outside?
00:16:11.380 I don't know.
00:16:11.800 I feel like this is a great way to screen who you want to hang out with.
00:16:15.120 Yeah.
00:16:15.700 Like, really.
00:16:16.160 Like, at this point, at this point, if you're still wearing a mask consistently and you're
00:16:19.860 not immunocompromised in some serious way, in which case, like, if you're really immunocompromised,
00:16:24.080 you should probably wear a mask, like, before this, after this, for all time.
00:16:27.000 And only an N95 mask.
00:16:28.660 Right.
00:16:28.840 Only an N95.
00:16:29.460 Not a cloth mask.
00:16:29.940 But if you're not in that category and you're masking up at this point, I feel like I don't
00:16:33.960 really want to hang out with you.
00:16:35.600 I agree.
00:16:35.980 Really?
00:16:36.360 Like, you seem kind of paranoid.
00:16:38.300 Well, that's actually what the mask is about.
00:16:40.320 I think we should be open about it.
00:16:42.040 In places like D.C.
00:16:42.940 There are people who are still afraid.
00:16:44.660 Why wouldn't they be?
00:16:45.560 It's the biggest onslaught of government and media behind a narrative in probably all of
00:16:49.420 human history.
00:16:50.060 Yeah.
00:16:51.040 But most of it is actually about who you want to hang out with.
00:16:55.820 Most of it is a kind of tribal recognition.
00:16:59.520 If you're wearing the mask, you're one of us.
00:17:01.080 If you're not wearing the mask, you actually deserve to die.
00:17:04.020 That is the actual narrative that undergirds the narrative.
00:17:07.400 What do they say about you if you feel that way, if you feel that you should die if you
00:17:11.820 don't wear a mask, when what a mask is is a useless piece of fear-mongering that has
00:17:17.320 made you a slave to the government.
00:17:19.720 It's basically saying if you are a bad boy, if you're not going to listen to the authorities,
00:17:24.460 I don't want to know you.
00:17:26.000 What kind of attitude is that for an American?
00:17:27.620 When does an American ever listen to the authorities?
00:17:29.340 Well, I mean, it's just a religious adherence tool.
00:17:31.880 And all religions require you to make certain sacrifices on behalf of the religion to show
00:17:36.600 that you are a member of that religion.
00:17:38.820 I mean, I wear a yarmulke to do this, to demonstrate that I'm a Jew, for example.
00:17:42.040 And Christians go to church on a regular basis, and they hang out in the Christian community
00:17:45.380 specifically for this purpose.
00:17:46.540 You have to have skin in the game.
00:17:47.880 The skin in the game when it comes to the religion of government can't be taxes because
00:17:50.520 everybody pays taxes.
00:17:51.580 It has to be something else.
00:17:52.780 It has to be a particularly useless sacrifice.
00:17:55.040 It cannot be a useful sacrifice.
00:17:56.340 If it were useful, we'd all be doing it.
00:17:57.800 They have to pick something useless in order to demonstrate fealty to the cause.
00:18:01.800 I mean, this is really behind a lot of theory of religion and religious practice lies this basic idea.
00:18:05.800 But there are certain things that you do, and you don't know why you do them.
00:18:08.560 But you do them really because it's a group-building exercise.
00:18:10.980 You know, the most popular day of the year in the Catholic Church is Ash Wednesday.
00:18:15.320 More than Christmas, more than Easter, people who never show up to Mass, don't have the sacraments,
00:18:19.920 they show up because you get the ashes on your head, and you feel like you're in the club,
00:18:24.440 and people are searching for meaning and belonging.
00:18:26.040 The outward display.
00:18:26.580 Yeah, I was going to say, Ben, I don't know where you got the idea that Christians go to church,
00:18:29.420 but that's a rumor.
00:18:31.980 Misinformation.
00:18:32.380 Yeah, the most frustrating thing to me with the masking is when we hear people say now
00:18:36.860 that we've learned things about it, and so maybe that will change our approach.
00:18:40.880 There was someone on The View, I think it was supposed to be the conservative woman on The View
00:18:44.080 a few weeks ago who said that she's going to continue wearing a mask
00:18:46.700 because of what she's learned about masking, what we've all learned.
00:18:49.560 So what have we learned about masks exactly?
00:18:51.560 I always knew that masks existed.
00:18:53.540 I always knew that germs existed.
00:18:55.220 I always knew the basic idea of why you wear a mask.
00:18:57.780 So what exactly has anyone learned about masks?
00:19:00.420 I did learn some things about the Holocaust on The View the last couple of months.
00:19:03.840 That's probably as valuable as what I learned about the masks.
00:19:06.360 The mask works for Michael Myers in those movies.
00:19:08.480 I think that you're right.
00:19:12.280 The only thing we've learned about the masks that we didn't know is how ineffective they are.
00:19:16.140 Probably before COVID, I had not thought about the efficacy of a mask,
00:19:19.960 and I probably would have guessed,
00:19:21.200 it's probably pretty useful in a respiratory pandemic to wear a cloth mask,
00:19:25.560 and as it turns out, it's not.
00:19:26.980 That's the only thing we've learned.
00:19:28.080 It's not.
00:19:28.800 But you literally couldn't say it for a year.
00:19:29.960 You stopped just drooling into your wounds.
00:19:30.880 You couldn't say it for a year.
00:19:32.600 If you said it, they would be,
00:19:33.420 I mean, we still have this thing that is now on my show.
00:19:35.600 It's almost every day.
00:19:36.620 If I talk about COVID because of the big tech overlords
00:19:39.240 and because they have decided what you can and cannot say,
00:19:41.200 there's an actual cut into my show in the YouTube version of my show
00:19:44.340 where I have to say every single day,
00:19:46.520 guys, stop and head on over to dailywire.com and subscribe right now
00:19:49.280 because I'm about to say something true about COVID,
00:19:51.600 and if I say something true about COVID,
00:19:52.820 there's a very good shot that it's going to be taken down.
00:19:54.500 So if you want the full version, you have to go over to dailywire.
00:19:55.960 This is why they're going after Rogan, right?
00:19:57.620 I mean, this is what they do.
00:19:58.500 This is what's important, actually, about the crack pipe story.
00:20:01.160 It's why I keep coming back to it, also, because I'm jonesing.
00:20:03.440 But with the crack pipe story, what they said on Snopes was,
00:20:07.000 here's the claim, here's what's true about the claim, everything.
00:20:10.560 Here's what's false about the claim, absolutely nothing.
00:20:13.300 So we rate this mostly false.
00:20:15.420 And you look at that and you say,
00:20:16.340 how can you do that with a straight face?
00:20:18.060 What's the point of this ridiculous article, Snopes?
00:20:20.960 Here's the point.
00:20:21.860 Snopes is a fact checker partnered with Big Tech,
00:20:24.220 and with that mostly false rating,
00:20:25.960 any time any of us point out the Biden policy was what it was,
00:20:30.220 we will be censored for that.
00:20:32.900 We will be suppressed.
00:20:33.200 You can share the free beacon link.
00:20:35.100 Yeah, that's right.
00:20:35.780 Facebook stopped you from sharing the free beacon link
00:20:37.120 on an overtly true story.
00:20:39.100 But the good news is, and they've been doing this all along, right?
00:20:41.060 I mean, you remember the other Hunter Biden story,
00:20:42.720 not the crack pipe Biden story,
00:20:43.900 like the other one with the Biden and crack pipe.
00:20:45.700 You remember that one from right before the election
00:20:47.660 when they were removing all of the stories.
00:20:50.360 Well, I mean, one of the things that has become perfectly apparent from big tech
00:20:54.940 is that this is the end goal.
00:20:57.000 They have created a false fact-checking system
00:20:59.020 specifically to ding people they do not like.
00:21:01.640 And this is the Rogan story, right?
00:21:03.200 I mean, the misinformation stuff about Rogan
00:21:04.640 had nothing to do with misinformation.
00:21:05.840 It has to do with the fact they hate Rogan
00:21:06.900 because Rogan said a couple of years ago during the election
00:21:09.900 that Biden was senile.
00:21:11.100 Ever since then, they've been very angry at him.
00:21:12.760 They're very angry that Rogan hosts people like me
00:21:14.380 or hosts people like Jordan Peterson.
00:21:16.000 That's verboten.
00:21:17.100 And so they went after Rogan.
00:21:19.400 And it's not going to stop.
00:21:21.640 It's not going to stop.
00:21:22.460 And so this is why we here at The Daily Wire,
00:21:25.560 we used to have a pretty anti-cancel culture view,
00:21:28.120 and we still do.
00:21:29.160 But there is one addendum.
00:21:30.320 If you are a participant in the cancel culture,
00:21:32.020 you should be canceled beyond all redemption.
00:21:35.780 I'm sorry.
00:21:36.380 I didn't quite understand that.
00:21:38.360 What is the exception here?
00:21:39.500 The exception is if you are a member of the mob
00:21:41.400 and you mob other people,
00:21:42.760 and then you sin and the mob comes after you.
00:21:45.000 I am more than happy to paraphrase Chesterton.
00:21:47.320 There is a thought that cancels thought,
00:21:49.680 and that is the only thought that ought to be canceled.
00:21:51.520 But this is the thing that really bothers me now
00:21:54.020 about cancel culture.
00:21:55.020 We're getting this,
00:21:56.040 it's the normal thing that the left does
00:21:57.780 where they're saying,
00:21:58.500 well, right-wing,
00:21:59.880 there's right-wing cancel culture
00:22:01.000 and there's left-wing cancel culture.
00:22:02.880 There is zero right-wing cancel culture.
00:22:05.280 Cancel culture is an outgrowth of the left's strategy
00:22:08.000 of defending the indefensible by calling new names.
00:22:10.720 That's what it is.
00:22:11.560 It's a strategy.
00:22:12.720 Everything they've ever done has failed.
00:22:14.500 Everything socialists have ever done has failed.
00:22:17.040 And so what they do is they say,
00:22:18.060 well, if you don't agree with us, you're racist.
00:22:19.840 And nobody wants to be called racist.
00:22:20.740 And cancel culture is also through the institutions.
00:22:24.400 Right.
00:22:24.640 That's how you get canceled.
00:22:25.460 That's right.
00:22:25.980 And that's also why cancel culture is only on the left
00:22:29.200 because the left owns all the institutions.
00:22:32.080 Right.
00:22:32.540 And the right, we don't,
00:22:33.700 as much as we would love to.
00:22:34.840 And what they call cancel culture is like when we say,
00:22:37.400 we don't want you to indoctrinate my child
00:22:39.220 into believing that they can be an animal.
00:22:40.340 That's right.
00:22:40.720 And then they'll be like, well, we'll pass a law saying don't do that
00:22:43.100 like they're doing in Florida.
00:22:44.180 And they'll be like, how dare you, sir?
00:22:45.600 This is canceling the teachers.
00:22:46.860 You're violating the teacher's freedom.
00:22:48.780 Well, I didn't delegate my child to some teacher
00:22:51.480 so the teacher can teach them that boys can be girls
00:22:53.440 and girls can be boys.
00:22:54.500 There's a whole article in the Washington Post
00:22:55.880 about this supposedly don't say gay bill,
00:22:57.560 which is exactly not what this bill is in Florida.
00:23:00.880 It's amazing.
00:23:01.480 The operative provision of that bill is two paragraphs long.
00:23:03.520 It's very easy to read.
00:23:04.300 It's in plain English.
00:23:04.900 And what the bill basically says is you are not allowed to teach
00:23:08.300 about sexual orientation or gender identity
00:23:10.800 in a non-age-appropriate way to primary school kids,
00:23:14.260 kids K through three.
00:23:15.860 It's not even up until fifth grade.
00:23:17.540 By the way, I would back this level on K through 12.
00:23:19.580 I would.
00:23:20.120 Because here's my feeling about this.
00:23:22.600 I did not delegate my kids to you at any point
00:23:24.240 for you to teach this garbage to my children.
00:23:26.600 And so Greg Sargent over at the Washington Post,
00:23:28.240 he writes this entire article.
00:23:29.120 He says, well, you know, this makes teachers very nervous.
00:23:30.860 It makes them feel on edge.
00:23:31.940 And I said on my show, I don't know a group of people in America.
00:23:34.060 I want to be more on edge than teachers.
00:23:35.560 I want them to be on edge.
00:23:36.800 I'm delegating to you the most precious asset
00:23:39.000 that is in my control, my children.
00:23:40.980 You should be on edge.
00:23:41.960 You should feel like your job is on the line
00:23:43.940 every time you teach my kids.
00:23:45.780 Yes, I want you to feel any moment
00:23:47.400 that the trap door could go out from under you
00:23:48.840 and you could be fed to the alligators.
00:23:50.320 I want you to feel that way.
00:23:51.340 And now that we know that they're a bunch of Marxist,
00:23:53.280 racist wackos, like we should be watching them double time.
00:23:56.500 I have to say, I have to congratulate the left
00:23:58.520 on the don't say gay thing.
00:23:59.840 They're so good at this.
00:24:00.760 They instantaneously brand things
00:24:03.160 with this very repeatable name
00:24:05.600 that makes it sound like it's hateful.
00:24:07.000 Well, they have two things going in their favor.
00:24:08.640 One, they use marketing and we don't use marketing
00:24:10.780 on the right.
00:24:13.060 The 1619 Project.
00:24:15.020 I guarantee you a marketing agency came up with that.
00:24:19.600 Ogleby or something.
00:24:20.300 Yeah, exactly.
00:24:21.300 Don't say gay.
00:24:22.560 And then the other thing is that
00:24:23.660 they're so good because they control all the institutions
00:24:26.620 at in less than a day,
00:24:29.100 they can ensure that whatever they've created
00:24:31.520 in their marketing agency is ubiquitous.
00:24:33.680 Yeah, right.
00:24:34.300 And so on the right, we end up being victims of it.
00:24:37.360 So we, in the same way that atheists have to affirm God
00:24:40.740 every time they say what they are,
00:24:42.080 because the word contains theest right in it, right?
00:24:46.900 On the right, we almost exclusively talk about these issues
00:24:50.900 while affirming the broad structures
00:24:53.780 of the left's created narrative.
00:24:54.980 We all say COVID.
00:24:56.140 We all say COVID instead of the Chinese virus.
00:24:57.900 Well, and worse than that,
00:24:58.920 we say tested positive when we get it.
00:25:02.340 Yeah, I know.
00:25:02.780 Oh, I'm not feeling well.
00:25:04.360 What happened?
00:25:04.900 I'm tested positive.
00:25:06.540 Really for, tested positive is a reference to AIDS
00:25:09.880 at a time when AIDS was a death sentence.
00:25:12.600 Yeah, yeah.
00:25:12.920 Interesting.
00:25:13.240 Why do we use the term tested positive?
00:25:15.700 Why don't we test ourselves?
00:25:16.800 We have to flip.
00:25:17.920 And I'll go one step further.
00:25:19.460 Even on things, you brought up Joe Rogan
00:25:21.260 and you brought up the misinformation stuff,
00:25:23.820 all of their objections or no objections.
00:25:25.760 Yeah.
00:25:26.640 That story was something like 270 medical professionals
00:25:31.380 Yeah, yeah.
00:25:32.340 Signed letter condemning Joe Rogan.
00:25:33.920 And we all reported on it.
00:25:35.020 And they keep repeating it too.
00:25:35.980 And we keep saying,
00:25:36.760 well, that's like 0.00001%
00:25:41.260 of medical professionals in the country.
00:25:42.520 It was also dentists.
00:25:43.400 When we talk about it.
00:25:44.280 Dentists and nobodies.
00:25:45.320 There were nobodies.
00:25:45.920 A more proper headline would have been
00:25:47.820 statistically no medical professional.
00:25:50.500 Signed letter condemning Joe Rogan.
00:25:52.080 Yes, yes.
00:25:52.520 But we grant them all these premises.
00:25:54.760 And we're also always about three or four decades
00:25:58.580 behind the left.
00:26:00.480 So we talk about gender ideology
00:26:01.960 or what's going on in the schools.
00:26:03.780 Well, this is all a direct outgrowth
00:26:05.980 of what they used to call comprehensive sex education,
00:26:09.200 which has been in the school system
00:26:10.740 since like the 50s and 60s.
00:26:12.740 And there's always been people,
00:26:13.920 some people on the right
00:26:14.560 who criticize comprehensive sex education.
00:26:16.620 But for a long time, up until recently,
00:26:18.600 that you were considered kind of like a puritan.
00:26:20.640 But the moment that we granted
00:26:23.560 to the government education system
00:26:24.800 the right to talk to our kids,
00:26:27.600 not about the biology of sex,
00:26:29.680 but about their own ideas of-
00:26:32.140 The morality.
00:26:32.800 The morality of sex.
00:26:33.860 The moment we gave that,
00:26:36.560 we ceded that ground to the government,
00:26:38.020 then all of this stuff was going to follow behind.
00:26:39.700 Because ever since comprehensive sex education came along,
00:26:43.080 what we are doing now is that government employees
00:26:45.860 are the teachers.
00:26:46.440 They're talking to kids about not just the birds and the bees,
00:26:50.620 this is how babies are made,
00:26:52.360 but this is the right time to have sex.
00:26:55.020 These are the attitudes you should have about sex.
00:26:58.700 Why would you ever want a government employee
00:27:00.840 to talk to your kid about it?
00:27:01.820 You know, to that point,
00:27:03.840 right now the move is to justify
00:27:07.320 and normalize adult child sex.
00:27:10.900 And we're not taking it seriously,
00:27:12.680 and we don't see it coming,
00:27:13.520 but it's obviously coming.
00:27:15.000 It's their next move,
00:27:16.220 and it's like,
00:27:16.700 it's what they're pushing.
00:27:18.000 And this time,
00:27:19.120 you know,
00:27:19.320 this time the guy gets thrown out of school,
00:27:21.100 this time the guy gets fired,
00:27:22.300 next time he won't get fired,
00:27:23.380 next time it'll be like,
00:27:24.160 suddenly an editorial in the New York Times.
00:27:26.460 You know,
00:27:26.600 well,
00:27:26.920 man,
00:27:27.400 child,
00:27:28.000 you know,
00:27:28.580 the draw,
00:27:29.640 the appeal is not-
00:27:30.720 Well,
00:27:31.100 they'll set the predicate.
00:27:32.560 So what they'll set the predicate for
00:27:34.060 is they will say children have,
00:27:35.700 they won't call them children,
00:27:37.240 they'll say young adults
00:27:38.020 have the power to make autonomous decisions.
00:27:40.700 We know the science
00:27:41.780 with regard to gender,
00:27:43.140 and kids can choose their own gender
00:27:44.540 as young as the age of three.
00:27:46.100 And we know that kids
00:27:47.460 need to have
00:27:48.460 life-destroying surgery
00:27:49.720 and hormonal treatment by 15
00:27:51.220 to prevent puberty
00:27:52.200 from fully setting in.
00:27:53.320 And those kids are capable
00:27:54.240 of making those decisions.
00:27:55.340 How can you possibly say
00:27:56.220 a 15-year-old
00:27:56.860 is capable of making those decisions,
00:27:58.280 but is not capable of having sex
00:27:59.520 with the person?
00:27:59.640 And how can you?
00:28:00.520 How can you?
00:28:01.120 By the way,
00:28:01.720 it is logically consistent.
00:28:02.720 It is.
00:28:02.980 I mean,
00:28:03.260 if you're making the argument
00:28:04.240 that a 15-year-old
00:28:04.960 can chop a penis off
00:28:06.680 and turn it into a gaping wound,
00:28:08.840 and that this is going to be
00:28:10.200 treated by society
00:28:11.440 as an overt good,
00:28:13.040 it's going to be treated by society
00:28:14.040 as a positive step
00:28:15.180 on behalf of humanity.
00:28:16.460 How can you say that?
00:28:17.780 Right,
00:28:18.160 then how can you rule out
00:28:19.040 sexual identity?
00:28:19.360 I actually think it's a lot,
00:28:20.400 it'll be the easiest one
00:28:21.480 that they ever do.
00:28:22.840 Because convincing human beings
00:28:27.100 to deny biological reality
00:28:29.420 cuts against all of human history.
00:28:32.440 Literally since the beginning chapters
00:28:34.820 of the Bible,
00:28:35.980 male and female,
00:28:37.000 he made them.
00:28:37.420 We have understood
00:28:39.160 since at least kindergarten cop
00:28:41.800 in 1995
00:28:42.500 that boys have a penis
00:28:44.160 and girls have a vagina.
00:28:45.720 This has been part of
00:28:47.340 what every human on earth
00:28:48.460 has ever known.
00:28:51.820 Conversely,
00:28:52.860 for most of human history,
00:28:54.160 adults had sex with children.
00:28:56.120 I'm not suggesting it's a...
00:28:57.300 At least young adults.
00:28:57.800 Young adults.
00:28:58.140 I'm not suggesting it's a moral good,
00:28:59.820 but I am suggesting that
00:29:00.680 the age of sexual maturity
00:29:04.200 used to probably be
00:29:05.300 about 13, 14 years old.
00:29:06.620 In almost every society on earth.
00:29:08.540 And those 13 and 14 year olds
00:29:09.600 didn't have sex
00:29:10.260 with other 13, 14 year olds.
00:29:11.640 They had sex with adults.
00:29:13.280 30 year olds, right.
00:29:13.840 That's right.
00:29:14.600 And so,
00:29:16.120 this will be,
00:29:17.020 it seems outrageous to us.
00:29:18.380 You say we're not even talking about it.
00:29:19.400 It seems so far-fetched.
00:29:20.740 It's so much less far-fetched.
00:29:22.480 Yeah, of course.
00:29:23.080 In the comparative scope.
00:29:26.040 Anthropology.
00:29:26.820 Anthropology.
00:29:27.560 Then the things they've already
00:29:28.900 convinced us all must be...
00:29:30.620 Yeah, that's why I hate
00:29:31.540 the slippery slope.
00:29:33.360 This is not a slippery slope
00:29:34.520 because we've actually...
00:29:35.560 We've sloped.
00:29:35.900 We've got to the bottom
00:29:37.580 of the slope.
00:29:38.020 Right, yeah, yeah.
00:29:38.640 We leapfrogged all this stuff
00:29:39.820 and now we're just going to go back
00:29:40.880 and cover the bases we skipped.
00:29:43.340 You know,
00:29:43.680 before the show,
00:29:44.640 Knowles and I were talking
00:29:45.700 and we were saying,
00:29:46.340 you know,
00:29:46.500 we now live in a country
00:29:47.360 where we slaughter
00:29:48.280 3,000 babies a day
00:29:49.660 where I have to say
00:29:51.760 slavery was a grave evil
00:29:53.540 and an offense to God.
00:29:54.880 This is worse.
00:29:55.640 This is actually worse.
00:29:56.740 3,000 babies a day.
00:29:58.020 We're mutilating children,
00:29:59.580 as you say.
00:30:00.640 I have gone from praying
00:30:02.220 God bless America
00:30:03.440 to God remembers
00:30:05.060 if you're faithful
00:30:05.900 in the day of your wrath.
00:30:07.180 If there were even 10.
00:30:09.880 Because we are really
00:30:11.640 in a bad way
00:30:12.460 and when I talk to young people,
00:30:13.940 when I talk to young people,
00:30:14.860 they don't love America
00:30:16.240 like I do
00:30:16.800 because I remember
00:30:17.500 an America
00:30:17.980 that wasn't doing this stuff.
00:30:18.980 You're living in the wrong place,
00:30:20.480 man.
00:30:20.900 I mean,
00:30:21.120 I really like...
00:30:21.940 I'm such a believer
00:30:22.700 in the big sort.
00:30:23.360 I think the big sort
00:30:23.940 is the best thing
00:30:24.560 that's happened.
00:30:24.840 I do too.
00:30:25.500 And I think
00:30:25.900 if they overturn Roe v. Wade,
00:30:27.480 it'll double time.
00:30:28.280 Yeah, good.
00:30:28.940 Good.
00:30:29.420 Really good.
00:30:30.460 This is...
00:30:31.140 Honestly,
00:30:31.720 I felt about the masking rules
00:30:33.180 and about all this.
00:30:33.840 I was like,
00:30:34.080 listen,
00:30:34.300 these are all bad
00:30:34.880 and I'm glad
00:30:35.200 that more Americans
00:30:35.760 are now living in freedom
00:30:36.540 in blue states.
00:30:37.480 But to a certain extent,
00:30:38.180 I want blue states
00:30:38.700 to govern exactly
00:30:39.300 like blue states govern
00:30:40.020 and you get to choose
00:30:40.820 to live there
00:30:41.340 and you get to choose
00:30:41.980 to vote for this garbage.
00:30:43.300 I want red states
00:30:43.900 getting redder.
00:30:44.440 I want blue states
00:30:45.000 getting bluer.
00:30:45.820 And let's see,
00:30:46.280 clarity above agreement,
00:30:47.220 right?
00:30:47.380 I'll paraphrase my friend
00:30:48.280 Dennis Prager.
00:30:49.160 Clarity above agreement.
00:30:50.700 And then you get to choose
00:30:51.420 how you want to live
00:30:52.020 because I can tell you,
00:30:52.620 people who are living
00:30:53.140 in Tennessee
00:30:53.560 are very proud
00:30:54.300 to be American.
00:30:54.820 People who are living
00:30:55.180 in Florida
00:30:55.520 are very proud
00:30:56.080 to be American.
00:30:56.600 People who are living
00:30:56.960 in Texas
00:30:57.260 are very proud
00:30:57.760 to be American.
00:30:58.580 People who live
00:30:59.060 in New York
00:30:59.680 are very proud
00:31:00.140 to be international citizens
00:31:01.200 with global perspectives
00:31:02.340 on the innate non-difference
00:31:05.680 between men and women.
00:31:06.420 I will agree that...
00:31:07.340 I agree with you
00:31:07.860 100% on this.
00:31:08.600 I will acknowledge
00:31:10.040 that I find
00:31:11.900 our national anthem
00:31:12.960 painful to reflect on today.
00:31:16.340 That it's impossible
00:31:17.540 to watch children
00:31:19.140 being masked
00:31:20.020 it's impossible
00:31:21.360 to watch people
00:31:22.780 being driven
00:31:23.360 into poverty
00:31:24.080 and despair
00:31:25.240 and government dependency
00:31:26.220 by their jobs
00:31:27.380 being not only
00:31:28.380 shut down
00:31:28.900 but all the wealth
00:31:30.140 being redistributed
00:31:31.920 to a very small
00:31:33.180 handful of corporations
00:31:34.160 at the government's
00:31:35.680 express doing.
00:31:37.560 With no loyalty
00:31:38.180 to the nation.
00:31:38.780 And not because of
00:31:40.040 they won
00:31:40.900 in some sort of
00:31:41.680 competitive market environment
00:31:43.380 but because the government
00:31:44.060 forced it
00:31:44.860 to then sing
00:31:46.200 the land of the free.
00:31:48.000 Even freaking
00:31:49.680 Tom Hanks
00:31:52.000 can't with a straight face
00:31:53.480 today say
00:31:54.020 it's the land of the brave.
00:31:54.620 Well he doesn't say
00:31:55.200 the land of the brave.
00:31:55.380 Which is why he says
00:31:56.020 it's the land of the brave.
00:31:56.580 The land of the brave.
00:31:57.520 They took out the free
00:31:58.320 because they couldn't say it.
00:32:00.000 Here's a question for Ben.
00:32:01.320 Why didn't our founders
00:32:02.460 give us a process
00:32:03.720 for kicking states
00:32:04.660 out of the union?
00:32:06.820 It never really
00:32:08.000 occurred to them
00:32:08.860 that states
00:32:10.020 would have to be
00:32:10.500 kicked out of the union.
00:32:11.220 What the federal government
00:32:12.140 is allowed to do
00:32:12.860 is intervene
00:32:13.520 if certain things
00:32:14.920 are prohibited
00:32:15.780 by the state.
00:32:16.240 So for example
00:32:16.740 the federal constitution
00:32:17.920 does require
00:32:18.840 that the federal government
00:32:20.580 has to guarantee
00:32:21.280 to the state
00:32:22.140 a republican form of government.
00:32:23.560 So for example
00:32:24.080 if there's certain
00:32:24.560 basic rights
00:32:25.340 that end up being violated
00:32:26.500 to the extent
00:32:26.960 that there is no
00:32:27.400 republican form of government
00:32:28.260 in the states
00:32:28.700 then the federal government
00:32:29.660 does have the ability
00:32:30.460 to intervene.
00:32:31.060 But those were
00:32:31.340 very, very narrow powers.
00:32:33.280 And actually
00:32:33.940 the federal government
00:32:34.580 this was the battle
00:32:35.720 during the Civil War
00:32:36.600 which is really
00:32:39.120 separatable
00:32:39.800 into sort of two things.
00:32:40.940 One is
00:32:41.340 does the federal government
00:32:42.100 have the power
00:32:42.640 to intervene
00:32:43.280 when it comes to
00:32:44.560 things like
00:32:45.060 stopping slavery?
00:32:46.340 And one is
00:32:46.920 does the federal government
00:32:47.740 have the power
00:32:48.200 to intervene
00:32:48.740 over a vast panoply
00:32:49.720 of issues
00:32:50.240 that don't include slavery?
00:32:52.400 And these are
00:32:53.660 very open questions.
00:32:55.180 You can say
00:32:55.460 on a moral level
00:32:56.080 the federal government
00:32:56.680 had the power
00:32:57.100 to intervene
00:32:57.440 to stop slavery
00:32:58.060 and it was the right thing
00:32:58.840 to stop slavery.
00:32:59.920 And you can also say
00:33:00.600 that as a constitutional question
00:33:01.800 it was quite open
00:33:02.680 as to
00:33:03.000 there were full-scale
00:33:04.480 constitutional debates
00:33:05.240 from basically inception
00:33:06.320 until the Civil War
00:33:07.160 about what exactly
00:33:08.100 were the powers
00:33:08.660 of the federal government
00:33:09.440 if the states felt
00:33:10.720 that they were going
00:33:11.680 to go a different direction
00:33:12.640 than the federal government.
00:33:13.400 Was the power
00:33:13.780 to secede
00:33:14.280 presence in the Constitution
00:33:15.480 was a debate
00:33:16.360 that encompassed
00:33:17.240 everybody up to
00:33:17.900 the former Vice President
00:33:18.800 of the United States
00:33:19.500 John C. Calhoun.
00:33:20.640 Try it and you can
00:33:21.320 read the dissent
00:33:22.700 in our Supreme Court case
00:33:24.800 about the OSHA mandate
00:33:25.820 and see that
00:33:26.900 three of the nine justices
00:33:28.240 currently on the court
00:33:28.980 actually believe
00:33:29.740 that the constraint
00:33:30.880 on the federal government
00:33:31.800 is only what they think
00:33:32.980 is best.
00:33:33.580 Yep.
00:33:33.960 If they think it's best
00:33:34.800 they should be able to do it.

00:33:50.620 at the top of the description
00:33:51.640 after our show
00:33:52.900 to join the premiere.
00:33:57.420 I have absolutely
00:33:58.400 no idea what this means
00:33:59.200 in the teleprompter
00:33:59.880 but
00:34:00.200 oh it's the Helix ad read
00:34:02.800 what?
00:34:03.520 We should definitely
00:34:04.220 talk about Helix.
00:34:04.980 You need to get more sleep
00:34:06.740 as well.
00:34:06.860 I'm going to tell you
00:34:07.340 the problem
00:34:08.420 with Helix Sleep
00:34:09.260 I'm going to tell you
00:34:10.500 the problem
00:34:10.860 with our advertiser
00:34:11.900 they told me
00:34:12.960 it says riff
00:34:13.880 on Helix Sleep
00:34:14.800 and how everybody
00:34:15.920 on the show
00:34:16.400 has a Helix mattress
00:34:17.240 and then I realized
00:34:18.540 wait you all have
00:34:19.420 Helix mattresses?
00:34:20.320 It's great yeah
00:34:20.920 it's great I love it
00:34:21.860 they're really nice
00:34:22.380 unbelievable
00:34:23.100 I'm the only guy
00:34:24.440 on the set
00:34:25.040 who hasn't slept
00:34:25.640 on a Helix mattress
00:34:26.400 and then I think
00:34:27.460 about how
00:34:27.880 I make all the money
00:34:29.120 for everybody
00:34:29.660 and I'm always

00:36:16.320 that's pretty good stuff
00:36:17.320 the Biden administration

00:36:20.840 but we're not just
00:36:21.960 commenting on it
00:36:22.660 we're actually creating
00:36:23.560 the culture
00:36:24.040 yeah that's right
00:36:24.700 I couldn't be more
00:36:26.240 thrilled about the movie
00:36:27.000 we're going to hear
00:36:27.860 from DJ Caruso
00:36:28.800 the director of the film
00:36:30.280 coming up in just a few

00:36:34.800 right now will be
00:36:35.440 joining us
00:36:35.940 but it really is a huge
00:36:37.160 night
00:36:37.400 we get to do so many
00:36:39.540 incredibly fun things
00:36:41.040 in our jobs right
00:36:41.920 I mean just that
00:36:43.440 Helix ad alone
00:36:44.320 we do
00:36:46.780 we get to work with
00:36:48.060 great people
00:36:48.880 we get to be a part
00:36:49.460 of historic events
00:36:50.240 as with the OSHA
00:36:50.940 mandate case
00:36:52.340 we actually get to feel
00:36:53.800 like we're participating
00:36:55.420 in the democracy
00:36:56.480 I actually know
00:36:57.020 a lot of people
00:36:57.720 are very depressed
00:36:58.380 by what's going on
00:36:59.040 in the country
00:36:59.480 and people ask me
00:37:00.540 all the time
00:37:00.940 how do you live
00:37:02.300 in this news environment
00:37:03.220 and not get depressed
00:37:03.940 how do you get out of
00:37:04.580 bed in the morning
00:37:05.000 and the answer is
00:37:06.340 I'm in the fight
00:37:07.540 and win or lose
00:37:09.980 we're expending our best
00:37:11.340 in defense of what we
00:37:12.740 believe
00:37:12.980 and that's rejuvenating
00:37:13.860 and enlivening
00:37:15.980 also we get to make
00:37:17.780 a freaking movie
00:37:18.400 yeah
00:37:18.640 right
00:37:19.060 we get to do the thing
00:37:20.880 that our mentor
00:37:21.780 Andrew Breitbart
00:37:22.580 always said
00:37:23.560 that politics is
00:37:24.200 downstream of the
00:37:24.880 culture
00:37:25.160 and he used to say
00:37:26.680 you know
00:37:27.000 one of these days
00:37:27.960 someone in our space
00:37:28.800 is going to have to
00:37:29.480 get upstream
00:37:30.420 of the political
00:37:31.140 and do something
00:37:32.060 because of our
00:37:32.880 dailywire.com members
00:37:33.980 we've been put in a place
00:37:35.600 where we get to do
00:37:36.180 get to do it
00:37:37.220 it really is a dream
00:37:37.880 it's funny
00:37:38.340 I see conservatives
00:37:39.820 on social media
00:37:41.400 sometimes ragging on us
00:37:43.040 you know
00:37:43.360 like for making movies
00:37:44.780 and things
00:37:45.420 and I just think like
00:37:46.200 no you're missing
00:37:46.980 the whole point
00:37:47.880 I mean this is
00:37:48.500 this is celebration time
00:37:49.900 this is the best
00:37:50.600 they're addicted to losing
00:37:51.860 some conservatives love
00:37:53.220 I think they
00:37:53.760 they're so used to losing
00:37:54.800 that they cling on to it
00:37:56.780 they've gotten used to it
00:37:57.360 I agree
00:37:57.760 one of the things
00:37:58.520 that was important
00:37:59.040 to Ben and I
00:37:59.640 at the onset
00:38:00.380 was to make movies
00:38:01.360 that people want to see
00:38:02.320 instead of movies
00:38:03.280 that people want to
00:38:04.120 want to see
00:38:04.640 and it occurred to me
00:38:06.380 recently that
00:38:07.160 art is the only place
00:38:09.660 where conservatives
00:38:10.240 don't believe in meritocracy
00:38:11.760 yeah
00:38:12.240 like we
00:38:12.760 our entire world view
00:38:14.720 is premised on
00:38:15.520 work hard
00:38:16.640 excel
00:38:17.480 do better
00:38:18.160 and rise
00:38:18.840 and when it comes time
00:38:20.060 to make art
00:38:20.660 or entertainment
00:38:21.280 we're like
00:38:22.240 forget everything
00:38:23.700 we just said
00:38:24.320 that was
00:38:26.740 that was pretty good
00:38:28.040 I have to say
00:38:29.500 this is
00:38:29.920 not to get too intellectual
00:38:31.580 this is part of the
00:38:32.260 protestant ethos
00:38:33.060 from the very beginning
00:38:33.940 from the reformation
00:38:34.880 was that things
00:38:35.920 should be
00:38:36.580 art
00:38:36.880 art is a snare
00:38:38.000 and a delusion
00:38:38.620 and it should have
00:38:39.460 a good message
00:38:40.100 and the message
00:38:40.780 would be better
00:38:41.520 just said directly
00:38:42.400 and that was very
00:38:43.800 right after Luther
00:38:45.620 nailed the 95 theses
00:38:47.020 on the wall
00:38:47.460 that was like
00:38:47.960 basically what
00:38:48.660 protestants
00:38:49.540 Plato was kind of
00:38:50.420 well Plato was
00:38:51.500 not too happy
00:38:52.440 about it either
00:38:52.820 but seriously
00:38:53.660 this is a thing
00:38:54.940 that has leaked
00:38:56.320 into art
00:38:56.540 but it's a unique moment
00:38:57.520 because I was
00:38:58.080 thinking about this
00:38:58.660 a lot the other day
00:38:59.460 that virtually all
00:39:01.320 great art
00:39:01.760 is in some way
00:39:02.360 subversive
00:39:03.260 yes
00:39:03.480 it has to be
00:39:03.940 subversive
00:39:04.520 of something
00:39:05.040 because it has to
00:39:05.540 comment on something
00:39:06.340 art is a medium
00:39:07.100 where you're commenting
00:39:07.700 on the thing
00:39:08.220 that you're observing
00:39:09.420 and I think
00:39:10.980 that for a long time
00:39:11.800 it was hard
00:39:12.440 for conservatives
00:39:12.940 to make great art
00:39:13.620 absent being
00:39:15.000 Solzhenitsyn
00:39:15.540 in the Soviet Union
00:39:16.360 or absent living
00:39:17.800 under East German
00:39:18.600 Stasi rule
00:39:19.320 or something
00:39:19.760 and now the truth
00:39:21.140 is that
00:39:21.600 when it comes
00:39:22.160 to the culture
00:39:22.640 we are losing
00:39:23.420 and so that actually
00:39:24.600 offers us
00:39:25.220 a couple of opportunities
00:39:26.140 one to make
00:39:26.740 actual great art
00:39:27.900 that I think
00:39:28.980 is a commentary
00:39:29.780 on the world
00:39:30.880 that we live in
00:39:31.400 but second
00:39:32.340 there's no market
00:39:34.260 for this
00:39:34.560 I mean Jeremy
00:39:35.000 you and I
00:39:35.320 started talking
00:39:35.800 about making movies
00:39:36.420 together
00:39:36.660 before we talked
00:39:37.340 about doing
00:39:37.640 any other sort
00:39:38.140 of business
00:39:38.400 together
00:39:38.720 our very first
00:39:40.560 conversation
00:39:41.100 was this
00:39:41.760 it was a conversation
00:39:42.640 hooked up by
00:39:43.240 at that time
00:39:43.920 our friend Mark Masters
00:39:44.680 over at Talk Radio Network
00:39:46.020 I was working over there
00:39:47.080 and he had wanted
00:39:47.740 to do some movies
00:39:48.220 and he said
00:39:48.560 well Ben
00:39:48.920 you know movies
00:39:49.320 and Jeremy
00:39:49.680 you know movies
00:39:50.100 you guys should
00:39:50.520 should talk
00:39:51.240 this was back
00:39:51.840 in
00:39:52.160 it would have been
00:39:52.660 2010 probably
00:39:54.120 and our very first
00:39:56.180 conversation was about this
00:39:57.200 and you were doing
00:39:58.180 something called
00:39:58.540 Declaration Entertainment
00:39:59.240 which was
00:39:59.900 a support driven
00:40:02.080 entertainment idea
00:40:03.480 the idea was
00:40:04.040 people were going to
00:40:04.740 essentially donate money
00:40:06.180 to you
00:40:06.700 through subscriptions
00:40:08.300 in order to make movies
00:40:09.440 and the time
00:40:10.420 wasn't ripe
00:40:10.860 and the reason
00:40:11.760 that the time
00:40:12.180 wasn't ripe
00:40:12.700 is because
00:40:13.300 Hollywood
00:40:14.040 as much as they
00:40:15.000 hated Americans
00:40:15.500 was still making movies
00:40:16.660 that Americans
00:40:17.160 actually wanted to see
00:40:18.400 that was still
00:40:19.340 at a time
00:40:19.680 when things like
00:40:20.440 Return of the King
00:40:21.420 could win Best Picture
00:40:22.060 and Dark Knight
00:40:22.540 could be nominated
00:40:23.060 for Best Picture
00:40:23.680 and now
00:40:25.160 Hollywood so overtly
00:40:26.860 hates our guts
00:40:27.680 that you cannot name
00:40:29.220 a movie or a TV show
00:40:30.600 where there isn't
00:40:31.360 some sort of
00:40:32.000 sucker punch
00:40:32.340 you know
00:40:32.540 we were talking about
00:40:33.380 this the other day
00:40:33.940 try and name a movie
00:40:35.020 or TV show
00:40:35.560 where there isn't
00:40:36.060 some sort of
00:40:36.900 message directed
00:40:37.900 subversively
00:40:38.660 at traditional values
00:40:39.500 it's literally
00:40:41.080 impossible
00:40:41.920 even films that
00:40:42.520 are ostensibly
00:40:43.240 even films
00:40:44.020 or television shows
00:40:44.640 that are ostensibly
00:40:45.160 conservative
00:40:45.580 so my favorite
00:40:47.080 example is
00:40:47.640 Captain America
00:40:48.220 in the last
00:40:48.700 Endgame
00:40:49.040 here's a guy
00:40:49.940 from the 1940s
00:40:51.060 who's a Christian
00:40:52.020 who volunteered
00:40:53.320 underage to go
00:40:54.160 fight Nazis
00:40:54.920 who subjected
00:40:55.700 himself to
00:40:56.400 human experimentation
00:40:57.440 so that we
00:40:58.300 could defeat
00:40:58.680 the Nazis
00:40:59.160 who gets frozen
00:41:00.480 and comes back
00:41:01.180 literally wears
00:41:02.040 red white and blue
00:41:02.720 and calls himself
00:41:03.340 Captain America
00:41:04.120 and they had to
00:41:05.460 have him in a scene
00:41:06.320 at the beginning
00:41:06.680 of Endgame
00:41:07.200 where he's in a
00:41:08.260 counseling session
00:41:09.160 because of the
00:41:09.680 horrors
00:41:10.100 that the world
00:41:11.020 has endured
00:41:11.480 and we come
00:41:12.620 to find out
00:41:13.240 through sort of
00:41:13.740 a revelation
00:41:14.280 that the person
00:41:14.920 he's talking to
00:41:15.600 is a married gay man
00:41:16.760 now what is that about
00:41:18.400 well that's about
00:41:19.600 the filmmakers
00:41:20.540 being embarrassed
00:41:21.420 that they've been
00:41:22.060 making a show
00:41:22.680 about a guy
00:41:23.120 called Captain America
00:41:24.100 for the last 20 years
00:41:25.420 and they need to
00:41:26.100 let you know
00:41:26.740 that he may have
00:41:27.700 he may come from
00:41:28.480 the 1940s
00:41:29.280 middle America
00:41:29.860 he may call himself
00:41:31.060 America
00:41:31.440 he may wear
00:41:33.460 red white and blue
00:41:34.520 but he doesn't
00:41:35.280 belong to you
00:41:36.060 you don't get
00:41:37.280 to have him anymore
00:41:38.180 and of course
00:41:39.800 it's not just
00:41:40.280 around sexual ethics
00:41:41.820 that they do this
00:41:42.840 they're doing it
00:41:43.360 across
00:41:44.100 the best is Yellowstone
00:41:44.800 the best is Yellowstone
00:41:45.460 of course Yellowstone
00:41:46.220 you've got
00:41:46.680 you've got a rancher
00:41:48.800 who believes in
00:41:49.740 millionaire rancher
00:41:50.760 who believes in
00:41:51.340 nothing more
00:41:51.920 than his freedom
00:41:52.540 right
00:41:53.080 get off my land
00:41:54.300 literally
00:41:54.700 is his mantra
00:41:55.820 and he decides
00:41:57.460 that he's going to
00:41:57.900 shack up with a
00:41:58.680 Greenpeace protester
00:41:59.880 and give
00:42:01.200 shock her
00:42:02.460 with the degree
00:42:03.540 to which he believes
00:42:04.360 we've destroyed the earth
00:42:05.500 it's all for naught
00:42:06.800 he actually has a line
00:42:07.880 in which he says
00:42:08.460 I don't think we have
00:42:09.700 a hundred years left
00:42:10.660 before God wipes us
00:42:12.080 all out
00:42:12.520 and starts over
00:42:13.540 if he has the heart
00:42:15.240 for it
00:42:15.960 what are you talking
00:42:18.400 about
00:42:18.620 the bottom line
00:42:19.320 is that the left
00:42:20.140 over the course
00:42:20.700 of the last couple
00:42:21.140 years particularly
00:42:21.720 has decided
00:42:22.380 that they
00:42:22.860 are going to become
00:42:24.080 what we are
00:42:24.940 currently accusing
00:42:25.600 the right of being
00:42:26.100 they're only going
00:42:26.940 to make missional movies
00:42:27.740 so for years
00:42:28.920 the left was like
00:42:29.360 I'll make a good movie
00:42:30.000 and then the mission
00:42:30.420 will just sort of be there
00:42:31.100 and now it's like
00:42:32.320 no no no
00:42:32.660 that's not enough
00:42:33.240 this is why
00:42:34.040 they're also doing
00:42:34.560 the routine where
00:42:35.220 if you are casting
00:42:36.540 a gay person
00:42:37.820 the person who's
00:42:38.560 playing it
00:42:38.860 has to be gay
00:42:39.380 or if you are
00:42:40.100 casting a disabled person
00:42:41.660 the person has to be
00:42:42.360 disabled
00:42:42.580 you can't have
00:42:43.000 a white couple
00:42:43.580 every couple
00:42:44.400 every single couple
00:42:45.380 has to be either
00:42:46.080 mixed race or black
00:42:47.520 and you can't talk
00:42:48.420 about the problems
00:42:48.980 of if you ever
00:42:49.720 have a movie
00:42:50.180 about the problems
00:42:50.880 of white people
00:42:52.420 who are not
00:42:53.000 wildly impoverished
00:42:54.460 it's a problem
00:42:54.820 and even if they
00:42:55.220 are wildly impoverished
00:42:55.940 if you make
00:42:56.340 hillbilly elegy
00:42:56.980 it's a real problem
00:42:57.620 and interestingly
00:42:58.240 when I was in England
00:42:59.380 this killed
00:42:59.960 the British film industry
00:43:00.900 they hated
00:43:02.100 four weddings
00:43:02.720 and a funeral
00:43:03.240 I said that's
00:43:03.920 an entertaining film
00:43:04.640 oh yeah
00:43:05.100 we don't want to do that
00:43:05.920 we want to do
00:43:06.620 two gay guys
00:43:07.440 who are Muslim
00:43:08.580 in a laundrette
00:43:09.820 you know
00:43:10.060 because everybody
00:43:10.520 wants to see that
00:43:11.400 and it just killed
00:43:11.980 their industry
00:43:13.000 which had come back
00:43:14.100 because of these
00:43:14.780 great films
00:43:15.200 you know
00:43:15.740 I have to say
00:43:16.900 about Shut In
00:43:17.600 about 15 years ago
00:43:20.340 I went into a hotel
00:43:21.960 I stayed in the penthouse
00:43:24.180 where there was one room
00:43:25.080 at the top of the floor
00:43:26.280 I came in
00:43:27.600 I locked the door
00:43:28.400 I put the chain on the door
00:43:29.460 I took my clothes off
00:43:30.560 I went into the bathroom
00:43:31.360 closed the door
00:43:32.000 went to the bathroom
00:43:32.580 went to open the door
00:43:33.320 and it was locked
00:43:34.660 and there was no button
00:43:36.020 on it
00:43:36.280 the only time
00:43:37.200 I've been in war zones
00:43:38.160 I've been in fist fights
00:43:39.000 I've been in all kinds
00:43:39.700 it's the only time
00:43:40.520 in my life
00:43:41.040 I ever said to myself
00:43:41.900 don't panic
00:43:43.240 out loud
00:43:44.240 out loud
00:43:44.700 don't panic
00:43:45.360 watching this film
00:43:47.720 I'm going to get you for it
00:43:49.360 PTSD
00:43:51.300 yeah
00:43:51.740 Andrew Klavan
00:43:52.500 walked into that bathroom
00:43:53.400 with hair
00:43:53.900 it was like a shock
00:43:56.640 of blonde hair
00:43:57.640 it was amazing
00:43:58.100 yeah somehow
00:43:58.920 conservatives still
00:43:59.820 hold on to hope
00:44:00.560 for a franchise
00:44:01.560 you know
00:44:02.220 for some of these
00:44:02.680 franchises that exist
00:44:03.480 I don't know how they do
00:44:04.500 like for example
00:44:05.160 this
00:44:06.680 the Lord of the Rings
00:44:07.480 Amazon series
00:44:08.740 yeah
00:44:09.020 and you still have
00:44:09.900 conservatives
00:44:10.180 oh I hope it's not woke
00:44:11.280 what do you
00:44:11.740 of course it's going to be woke
00:44:13.120 Amazon is making
00:44:14.780 Lord of the Rings
00:44:15.500 what do you think
00:44:16.160 they're going to
00:44:16.520 there is zero chance
00:44:17.960 every single
00:44:18.620 this is what
00:44:18.980 you have to understand
00:44:19.820 every single franchise
00:44:21.280 you love
00:44:21.940 is going in this direction
00:44:23.380 it cannot go
00:44:24.520 any other direction
00:44:25.140 but that
00:44:25.620 so just
00:44:26.020 have a foolish hope
00:44:26.860 and we can't afford
00:44:27.560 to buy those
00:44:28.420 fools hope
00:44:29.060 we can't afford
00:44:29.920 to buy those franchises
00:44:30.880 so we have to start
00:44:31.420 creating some
00:44:31.980 like if I could do anything
00:44:32.920 I'd buy Superman
00:44:33.640 to keep him Superman
00:44:34.480 but I don't
00:44:35.120 I'm not a multi
00:44:35.940 multi multi
00:44:36.500 billionaire
00:44:36.820 so I can't buy Superman
00:44:38.140 so we've got to
00:44:38.620 create some stuff
00:44:39.420 and you know
00:44:40.100 you talk about these
00:44:41.340 very overtly
00:44:42.100 left wing movies
00:44:43.400 like Don't Look Up
00:44:44.280 or things like that
00:44:45.020 I got nominated
00:44:45.460 for an Oscar
00:44:45.920 with 55% on Rotten Tomatoes
00:44:47.320 that's right
00:44:47.680 but I don't mind that
00:44:49.440 if you want to make
00:44:50.880 an overtly left wing movie
00:44:52.160 I'm fine with it
00:44:53.140 it's the sucker punch
00:44:54.240 that I hate
00:44:54.760 it's every conservative
00:44:56.240 in America
00:44:56.700 fell in love with
00:44:57.320 Ted Lasso last year
00:44:58.500 and you're in
00:44:59.380 the penultimate episode
00:45:00.580 and Ted Lasso
00:45:01.600 refers to God
00:45:02.420 as a she
00:45:02.920 that was a dishonest show
00:45:04.660 that was a dishonest show
00:45:05.560 from the first frame
00:45:06.640 what is the point
00:45:07.700 the point is to say
00:45:08.800 Midwestern American
00:45:10.640 football lover
00:45:11.440 doesn't belong to you
00:45:12.620 Midwesterners
00:45:13.320 he doesn't share
00:45:14.400 your values
00:45:14.940 that was the whole
00:45:15.620 that was the whole
00:45:16.280 theme of that show
00:45:16.800 I said at the minute
00:45:17.480 it came on
00:45:18.080 I said this guy
00:45:18.940 is a fundamentalist
00:45:19.940 Christian
00:45:20.300 except they won't
00:45:21.420 let him believe in God
00:45:22.220 they won't let him
00:45:22.860 not have sex
00:45:23.560 they won't let him
00:45:24.180 keep his marriage together
00:45:25.300 oh the marriage thing
00:45:26.060 was unbelievable
00:45:26.680 it was unbelievable
00:45:27.400 I mean they literally
00:45:28.080 they're like
00:45:28.560 oh well you know
00:45:29.040 what would be best
00:45:29.340 for the kid
00:45:29.680 is if you abandon
00:45:30.280 your child
00:45:30.780 and remain
00:45:31.220 several thousand
00:45:31.880 miles away
00:45:32.380 never seeing your son
00:45:33.340 but that's you know
00:45:33.940 that's just the way
00:45:34.460 modern families work
00:45:35.360 the whole show
00:45:36.340 is a lie
00:45:37.000 it's a lie
00:45:37.620 you know it's funny
00:45:38.100 with all these shows
00:45:38.880 though I mean I watched
00:45:39.620 a little Yellowstone
00:45:40.560 but not too much
00:45:41.500 I watched a little bit
00:45:42.100 of this
00:45:42.340 I never watched
00:45:43.000 the franchises
00:45:43.680 I just won't do it
00:45:46.180 I don't
00:45:46.680 I love movies
00:45:47.640 I grew up watching movies
00:45:48.720 I love watching
00:45:49.280 but I'm just not
00:45:50.400 going to do it
00:45:50.880 my life is too precious
00:45:52.280 my time is too short
00:45:53.620 so what I will do
00:45:54.620 is I will watch
00:45:56.180 old movies
00:45:57.000 and old TV shows
00:45:57.820 there's plenty of them
00:45:58.520 I can play those
00:45:59.580 or on the rare occasion
00:46:01.700 that there is some movie
00:46:03.540 that I know
00:46:04.960 isn't going to cram
00:46:06.120 some insane
00:46:07.440 insipid
00:46:08.520 tedious agenda
00:46:09.320 down my throat
00:46:09.780 I'll watch it
00:46:10.660 and I just think
00:46:11.060 if you give me
00:46:12.540 three shut-ins a year
00:46:14.020 I'll be happy
00:46:15.100 I'll get to see some movies
00:46:16.260 but I'm not going to watch
00:46:17.100 this other crap
00:46:17.460 here's a question
00:46:17.740 from a member
00:46:18.460 Run, Hide, Fight, Shut-In
00:46:20.280 and Terror on the Prairie
00:46:21.260 all have strong
00:46:22.380 female leads
00:46:23.480 was this a coincidence
00:46:24.940 will you make a movie
00:46:25.700 with a strong male lead
00:46:26.640 as well
00:46:26.980 we've been getting
00:46:28.040 this question a little bit
00:46:28.920 on Twitter
00:46:30.560 and I'm going to tell you
00:46:31.700 that we have a fourth movie
00:46:32.860 that we're going to
00:46:33.520 surprise everyone
00:46:34.200 with the trailer for
00:46:35.020 later on tonight
00:46:35.820 and it also has
00:46:36.680 a very strong female lead
00:46:37.780 so we're going to be
00:46:38.940 batting four for four
00:46:40.000 in 2016
00:46:41.040 we're misogynist
00:46:42.460 yeah we're misogynist
00:46:43.180 the question is why
00:46:44.200 and the answer is
00:46:44.980 it's very difficult
00:46:47.280 to do what we're doing
00:46:48.840 Dallas Sonnier
00:46:50.580 has read 400 scripts
00:46:52.780 this year
00:46:54.220 in his search
00:46:55.500 for great content
00:46:56.240 for us
00:46:56.660 we've interviewed
00:46:57.840 dozens of writers
00:46:59.760 we've paid
00:47:00.740 many writers
00:47:01.600 Drew
00:47:02.560 to develop shows
00:47:03.880 for us
00:47:04.360 it's development
00:47:05.720 is incredibly challenging
00:47:07.160 it's a lengthy process
00:47:08.720 you don't always
00:47:09.640 hit the target
00:47:10.160 that you're aiming at
00:47:10.980 even when you work
00:47:11.900 with some of the best
00:47:12.460 people out there
00:47:13.200 you don't always
00:47:13.680 hit the target
00:47:14.100 that you're aiming at
00:47:14.820 it's a miracle
00:47:15.600 when any movie
00:47:16.320 gets made
00:47:16.820 our goal over time
00:47:19.060 is to grow up
00:47:21.340 our own
00:47:21.820 our whole own industry
00:47:23.400 not to be dependent
00:47:24.360 on Hollywood
00:47:24.960 really much at all
00:47:26.320 because obviously
00:47:28.040 they don't like us
00:47:29.320 over there
00:47:29.740 but in the beginning
00:47:31.460 you have to fish
00:47:32.920 where the fish are
00:47:33.500 in the beginning
00:47:34.200 we're sorting through
00:47:35.380 the kinds of scripts
00:47:36.100 that are available
00:47:36.680 and we're finding
00:47:37.920 the ones that do
00:47:38.700 have our values in them
00:47:39.700 we're finding the ones
00:47:40.580 that don't have
00:47:41.240 left wing sucker punches
00:47:42.120 in them
00:47:42.420 we're finding the ones
00:47:43.360 that Hollywood
00:47:43.740 won't make
00:47:44.660 nevertheless
00:47:46.040 no one has written
00:47:47.820 a script
00:47:48.360 that is perfectly
00:47:49.720 what we might hope
00:47:50.920 that it would be
00:47:51.500 in 15 years
00:47:52.840 because there's been
00:47:53.760 no market for it
00:47:54.460 because Hollywood
00:47:54.860 won't buy it
00:47:55.540 and so I haven't read
00:47:57.080 I've read 100 scripts
00:47:58.740 this year probably
00:47:59.520 10 of them had male leads
00:48:01.580 and they weren't very good
00:48:02.480 but you know
00:48:03.120 you get a thousand
00:48:03.880 if you make a thousand
00:48:04.860 movies
00:48:05.460 700 of them
00:48:07.220 can be lousy
00:48:07.980 but people remember
00:48:09.080 the good ones
00:48:10.200 if you make five movies
00:48:11.260 it's because
00:48:12.320 that's what we can make
00:48:13.340 that's what we can make
00:48:13.980 but that's
00:48:14.740 it's a good thing
00:48:15.980 it's a positive thing
00:48:17.120 it's a thing we should
00:48:17.820 be celebrating
00:48:18.540 every step of the way
00:48:19.840 because we're climbing
00:48:21.480 out of the pit
00:48:22.140 that's right
00:48:22.600 and of course
00:48:23.200 we'll make movies
00:48:23.740 with strong male leads
00:48:24.660 also
00:48:26.060 we're so fortunate
00:48:27.900 when we find
00:48:28.600 a piece of content
00:48:29.440 that we believe in
00:48:30.180 when we find a piece
00:48:30.700 of content
00:48:30.940 that we can make
00:48:31.640 we're excited about it
00:48:33.400 we're thrilled
00:48:33.740 to get to go
00:48:34.280 take a swing at it
00:48:35.440 and that doesn't mean
00:48:36.400 you can't just say
00:48:37.860 well next a movie
00:48:38.660 with a male lead
00:48:39.460 any more than you can say
00:48:40.100 next we'll make a movie
00:48:40.720 with dinosaurs
00:48:41.200 you have to find it
00:48:42.220 on the page
00:48:42.720 you have to find

00:50:00.940 what I'll say about
00:50:02.420 Shut In
00:50:02.800 it was on the
00:50:03.800 very prestigious
00:50:04.520 black list
00:50:05.180 which is
00:50:05.940 probably the most
00:50:07.280 prestigious list
00:50:07.940 in Hollywood
00:50:08.360 I know it sounds
00:50:09.520 like the opposite
00:50:10.100 when you think of
00:50:10.780 Hollywood and black list
00:50:11.540 you think about
00:50:12.040 the second best thing
00:50:12.780 that can happen to you
00:50:13.400 but being on the black list
00:50:15.220 as a script
00:50:15.620 is a great thing
00:50:16.300 this is one of the
00:50:17.100 five best scripts
00:50:17.600 I've ever read
00:50:18.120 the best script
00:50:19.440 I've ever read
00:50:19.900 is by my friend
00:50:20.520 Roderick Taylor
00:50:21.140 it's called
00:50:21.500 Goliath Awaits
00:50:22.320 it's just an absolute
00:50:23.820 home run
00:50:24.360 maybe one day
00:50:26.020 as our opportunities
00:50:27.520 increase
00:50:27.980 we'll be able to
00:50:28.460 make a project
00:50:29.220 like that
00:50:29.660 when I read
00:50:30.640 Melanito's script
00:50:31.540 I thought
00:50:32.000 this is 100%
00:50:33.320 for us
00:50:33.760 in fact
00:50:34.380 we had to pay
00:50:35.000 a lot of money
00:50:35.380 to get it
00:50:35.720 because the film
00:50:36.160 was set up
00:50:36.640 at New Line
00:50:37.140 Dallas had found it
00:50:38.340 on the black list
00:50:39.520 to deal at New Line
00:50:40.340 big names
00:50:41.900 Jason Bateman
00:50:42.700 Nicole Kidman
00:50:43.500 had circled this project
00:50:44.620 COVID happened
00:50:45.600 the film gets knocked
00:50:46.660 off of the production
00:50:47.380 roster
00:50:47.760 and that gave us
00:50:48.640 a window
00:50:49.120 where we could
00:50:49.580 swoop in there
00:50:50.240 and pick it up
00:50:51.600 and we're
00:50:51.900 I count ourselves
00:50:52.920 very fortunate
00:50:53.460 to have done so
00:50:54.160 you have to understand
00:50:55.640 though that when we do this
00:50:56.680 even the screenwriter
00:50:58.580 isn't all that happy
00:50:59.580 here she's getting
00:51:01.240 her very first movie
00:51:02.180 ever made
00:51:02.820 we're honoring
00:51:04.020 her script
00:51:04.680 keep in mind
00:51:05.360 when New Line
00:51:05.740 I've been telling
00:51:06.220 this story for a week
00:51:06.940 when New Line
00:51:07.580 had the script
00:51:08.180 they rewrote it
00:51:09.140 to take the kids
00:51:10.440 out of peril
00:51:11.060 they didn't want
00:51:11.820 the kids to be in peril
00:51:12.660 because housewives
00:51:13.740 won't watch it
00:51:14.520 which then takes away
00:51:15.760 all the stakes
00:51:16.400 in the movie
00:51:16.840 they took away
00:51:17.920 all the Christian symbolism
00:51:18.940 which you'll see
00:51:19.540 throughout the film tonight
00:51:20.460 which is critical
00:51:21.340 to the story
00:51:21.980 of her redemption
00:51:22.560 it's sort of
00:51:23.780 the central
00:51:24.200 it's the best part
00:51:24.860 that's right
00:51:24.980 they take all of that out
00:51:26.760 because they homogenize
00:51:28.140 the film
00:51:28.440 they sanitize the film
00:51:29.360 to make it more broadly
00:51:30.560 appealing
00:51:31.080 which of course
00:51:31.860 takes away
00:51:32.240 the redemptive message
00:51:32.880 so you've taken away
00:51:34.060 the stakes
00:51:34.720 you've taken away
00:51:36.280 the impetus
00:51:36.980 for the transition
00:51:38.000 and then they took out
00:51:39.880 the villain
00:51:40.480 and I'm not making this up
00:51:42.700 they replaced the villain
00:51:44.080 with an evil dog
00:51:45.520 really?
00:51:47.740 yes
00:51:47.980 that's amazing
00:51:48.780 major Hollywood stars
00:51:50.540 circled this script
00:51:51.640 in a version
00:51:53.280 that had no villain
00:51:54.360 an evil dog
00:51:55.420 no threat
00:51:57.340 so it's just a woman
00:51:58.160 in a pantry
00:51:58.620 with an annoying dog
00:51:59.440 outside
00:51:59.700 was the dog
00:52:00.620 at least a pedophile
00:52:01.560 or no?
00:52:02.020 no no no
00:52:02.660 also the thing
00:52:04.200 about the female lead
00:52:05.000 thing is that
00:52:05.720 it's almost a leftist
00:52:08.380 mentality
00:52:08.860 in a weird way
00:52:09.500 if we were to say
00:52:10.740 well now it's time
00:52:11.740 for a movie
00:52:12.340 with a male lead
00:52:13.020 it's like
00:52:13.340 well let's go through
00:52:14.160 each identity group
00:52:14.980 and make sure
00:52:15.360 they each get
00:52:15.860 their own movie
00:52:17.760 I think the better approach
00:52:19.040 is just what's the best movie
00:52:20.140 and we'll make it
00:52:21.060 but the important point
00:52:22.320 is that we're not saying
00:52:23.540 that this is not a message
00:52:25.680 that we're sending
00:52:26.180 oh the Dems are the real sexists
00:52:27.720 and so we're going to make
00:52:28.280 a lot of movies
00:52:28.700 with female leads
00:52:29.640 I don't think that's
00:52:30.500 the point at all
00:52:30.920 and another thing
00:52:32.020 I like about this movie
00:52:32.560 is that there is
00:52:33.500 it is a redemptive story
00:52:35.200 that's another thing
00:52:35.800 that's missing
00:52:36.340 in most Hollywood movies
00:52:37.980 is a story of real redemption
00:52:39.200 and especially in
00:52:40.500 cancel culture
00:52:41.180 graceless society
00:52:42.200 where there's no
00:52:42.920 forgiveness
00:52:43.860 to have a story
00:52:44.760 where there's actual redemption
00:52:45.940 and that is in fact
00:52:47.600 the story itself
00:52:48.340 I think is really important
00:52:49.380 that's what I liked about it
00:52:50.280 yeah I couldn't agree more
00:52:51.700 there's something else also
00:52:52.480 which is that
00:52:53.000 we on the right
00:52:53.820 we tend to focus in a lot
00:52:54.760 on the fact that
00:52:55.260 masculinity is under attack
00:52:56.320 because it's 100%
00:52:57.620 under attack
00:52:58.620 I mean the left
00:52:59.040 has pretty much attempted
00:53:00.240 to turn men into
00:53:02.280 I mean literally
00:53:03.240 in many cases
00:53:04.340 into women
00:53:05.400 right
00:53:05.640 but the other thing
00:53:07.000 they've done is
00:53:07.320 they've turned women
00:53:07.780 into men
00:53:08.200 the idea from the left
00:53:09.860 is that women
00:53:10.520 your strong female character
00:53:12.520 is a bare knuckles
00:53:15.620 brawling woman
00:53:16.560 who can knock a man
00:53:17.940 through a wall
00:53:18.740 and all this kind of stuff
00:53:19.660 that's not what this movie is
00:53:20.880 and don't need no man
00:53:21.800 right
00:53:22.080 that's not what this movie is
00:53:23.340 at all
00:53:23.980 I mean by the way
00:53:24.500 if Hollywood had actually
00:53:25.800 produced a film like this
00:53:26.700 without the haunted dog
00:53:28.880 and such
00:53:29.160 the movie would be
00:53:30.960 35 seconds long
00:53:31.980 because she would get
00:53:32.760 trapped in the pantry
00:53:33.420 and then she'd bust out
00:53:34.280 her female superpowers
00:53:35.260 her kick ass girl power
00:53:36.420 she would have bust down
00:53:37.300 the door
00:53:37.620 and she would have
00:53:37.940 beat everybody up
00:53:38.660 right
00:53:38.860 that's not what this film is
00:53:40.200 women are more under attack
00:53:42.000 than men in our culture
00:53:42.860 I agree
00:53:43.240 it's just not as overt
00:53:44.780 well because they're
00:53:45.400 attacking men
00:53:46.880 in order to get to women
00:53:48.860 really
00:53:49.180 yeah that's right
00:53:49.780 I observed recently
00:53:52.000 according to the left
00:53:53.200 men and women
00:53:53.700 are exactly the same
00:53:54.540 except that women
00:53:55.100 are much much better
00:53:55.820 that's basically
00:53:57.360 the new mantra
00:53:57.940 but much better
00:53:58.720 being men
00:53:59.160 much better
00:53:59.760 it's not that men
00:54:00.620 and women are the same
00:54:01.240 and women are much much
00:54:02.140 better at being women
00:54:03.140 it's men and women
00:54:03.900 are the same
00:54:04.220 and women are better
00:54:04.760 at being men
00:54:05.240 because the super power
00:54:06.560 that women have
00:54:07.060 is the one thing
00:54:07.680 that they are
00:54:08.140 hell bent on removing
00:54:09.460 which is childbearing
00:54:11.040 child rearing
00:54:12.000 marriage
00:54:12.780 nurturing
00:54:13.420 you know all the things
00:54:14.340 that evolutionary biology
00:54:15.360 actually focuses in
00:54:16.580 and all the things
00:54:17.220 that matter
00:54:17.900 you know
00:54:18.380 and ultimately
00:54:19.420 that's what
00:54:19.820 shut in is about
00:54:20.400 right
00:54:20.640 shut in is a story
00:54:21.480 about a mom
00:54:22.760 yeah
00:54:23.440 a not very good mom
00:54:24.740 a mom who thinks
00:54:25.840 that she's a victim
00:54:26.460 of circumstance
00:54:27.020 when in fact
00:54:27.540 she's the victim
00:54:28.000 of all of her own
00:54:28.740 horrible choices
00:54:29.500 and you open the film
00:54:31.220 she's not very sympathetic
00:54:32.340 she is thrust into a position
00:54:35.100 of raising her kids
00:54:35.900 she didn't choose
00:54:36.580 to be in a position
00:54:37.220 to have to raise these kids
00:54:38.800 she had her grandmother
00:54:40.040 raising the kids
00:54:40.740 and her grandmother died
00:54:41.540 and now she's stuck
00:54:42.980 with these kids
00:54:43.420 that she by her own admission
00:54:45.080 didn't want
00:54:45.580 and isn't ready for
00:54:46.300 and because of
00:54:47.460 the trauma
00:54:48.360 that she suffers
00:54:49.000 like
00:54:49.300 like
00:54:50.020 Christ learned faith
00:54:51.640 from what he suffered
00:54:52.320 we are
00:54:53.760 we are almost all of us
00:54:55.340 redeemed by suffering
00:54:56.360 and through her suffering
00:54:58.160 she becomes
00:54:59.320 a mother
00:55:00.120 that's the thing
00:55:00.920 that Hollywood
00:55:01.300 doesn't want you to see
00:55:01.960 that's the reason
00:55:02.580 that they have to change
00:55:03.300 a movie like this
00:55:04.020 before they can think
00:55:04.860 about making it
00:55:05.600 they don't want you
00:55:06.400 to see that
00:55:06.940 the high aspiration
00:55:08.540 of this woman
00:55:09.000 the high accomplishment
00:55:09.780 of this woman
00:55:10.640 the thing that actually
00:55:11.340 does redeem her
00:55:12.240 is that she becomes
00:55:13.520 a mother
00:55:13.860 that in that way
00:55:15.680 yes it's an action film
00:55:17.040 yes it requires
00:55:17.640 the suspension of disbelief
00:55:18.900 yes because it's action-y
00:55:20.960 she gets involved
00:55:21.720 in some action
00:55:22.800 ultimately though
00:55:24.120 what it's all in service of
00:55:25.240 from a storytelling point of view
00:55:26.420 is the elevation
00:55:27.360 of motherhood
00:55:27.980 and to me
00:55:29.720 that's why when I read
00:55:30.480 the script
00:55:30.780 it's a great script
00:55:32.480 it's terrific writing
00:55:33.780 but also just
00:55:35.160 that particular theme
00:55:36.300 I thought
00:55:36.620 if we don't make this
00:55:37.760 I actually don't think
00:55:38.560 a film like this
00:55:39.600 gets made
00:55:40.880 we're going to be
00:55:41.560 bringing the movie to you
00:55:42.400 in just a short time

00:56:51.880 and it's coming your way
00:56:52.900 in just a short time
00:56:53.800 at 8 o'clock
00:56:54.700 right here at Daily Wire
00:56:55.720 we couldn't be more excited
00:56:56.520 and we're joined right now
00:56:57.700 by our producing partner
00:56:58.780 and good friend
00:56:59.280 Dallas Sonnier
00:56:59.900 who produced the film
00:57:00.660 thanks for having me
00:57:01.520 yeah welcome back
00:57:02.140 we let you out of the pantry
00:57:02.920 just for this
00:57:03.400 yes
00:57:03.620 we were in there
00:57:05.640 for two weeks straight
00:57:07.140 and prior to that
00:57:08.460 in the very old house
00:57:10.240 so it was nice
00:57:12.060 to finish the movie
00:57:12.940 and be able to
00:57:13.720 not be so compact
00:57:15.480 but yeah
00:57:16.400 we built the set
00:57:17.120 on a sound stage
00:57:18.140 here in Nashville
00:57:18.700 yeah
00:57:19.900 it's unbelievable
00:57:20.980 and we're so thrilled
00:57:22.300 to be able to share
00:57:22.820 the movie with everybody
00:57:23.480 you've been involved
00:57:24.260 in this project
00:57:25.360 really since it
00:57:26.000 appeared on the blacklist
00:57:26.980 most of our
00:57:28.320 Daily Wire
00:57:29.120 members probably
00:57:30.220 don't know much
00:57:30.700 about the blacklist
00:57:31.500 explain to us
00:57:32.020 how that whole thing works
00:57:32.720 the blacklist is a good thing
00:57:33.980 now
00:57:34.880 run by a guy
00:57:36.640 named Franklin Leonard
00:57:37.400 who I've known
00:57:37.920 for over a decade
00:57:38.720 and it's the best
00:57:40.740 unproduced scripts
00:57:41.900 every year
00:57:42.660 but then they expanded
00:57:43.960 and they started
00:57:44.660 to allow
00:57:45.320 young unproduced writers
00:57:46.760 to submit their
00:57:48.700 scripts for coverage
00:57:49.820 so they could reach
00:57:50.600 you know
00:57:51.580 representatives
00:57:52.420 producers
00:57:53.180 financiers
00:57:53.900 things like that
00:57:54.560 so they send out
00:57:55.860 this email
00:57:56.640 every week
00:57:57.620 of the best scripts
00:57:58.760 that week
00:57:59.160 that they read
00:57:59.780 and I deleted
00:58:00.680 every single week
00:58:01.780 one time
00:58:03.000 I didn't have a lunch
00:58:03.920 I didn't have an afternoon
00:58:05.120 full of meetings
00:58:05.960 I got the email
00:58:07.160 and right there on top
00:58:08.100 it says
00:58:08.460 shut in
00:58:09.080 in the vein
00:58:09.980 of panic room
00:58:10.860 and a quiet place
00:58:11.920 so I read it
00:58:13.540 and right there
00:58:14.580 on the cover page
00:58:15.440 is the screenwriter's
00:58:17.020 phone number
00:58:17.540 and I called it
00:58:18.640 and she answered
00:58:19.760 and about 24 hours later
00:58:22.400 I had the script
00:58:23.040 under option
00:58:23.740 wow
00:58:24.640 was going to
00:58:25.700 just make it
00:58:26.800 in my system
00:58:28.340 and very low
00:58:29.560 very low budget
00:58:30.800 but I said
00:58:34.240 before you do that
00:58:35.200 why don't we just
00:58:36.000 take a shot
00:58:36.900 getting you an agent
00:58:38.440 getting you
00:58:39.740 in front of the right
00:58:40.620 people in Hollywood
00:58:41.640 let's try it
00:58:43.040 and I sent it out
00:58:45.360 and it just
00:58:45.980 caught fire
00:58:47.160 CAA
00:58:48.360 UTA
00:58:49.420 all these different
00:58:50.240 agencies
00:58:50.640 coming after it
00:58:51.580 and then
00:58:53.360 the studios
00:58:54.900 started to read it
00:58:55.800 and other producers
00:58:56.720 started to read it
00:58:57.680 and so
00:58:58.440 all of a sudden
00:58:59.160 I found
00:58:59.680 UTA signs Melanie
00:59:02.200 a big producer
00:59:03.320 signs the script
00:59:04.440 and takes it
00:59:05.560 into new line
00:59:06.260 with me attached
00:59:07.180 and her attached
00:59:08.080 and it sells
00:59:09.280 in a bidding war
00:59:10.240 with Sony
00:59:11.180 and then
00:59:13.080 everything went
00:59:14.080 to hell
00:59:17.120 and back
00:59:17.560 from there
00:59:18.140 it was the craziest
00:59:20.360 thing
00:59:20.660 I decided to take
00:59:22.020 sort of a mercenary
00:59:22.740 approach to it
00:59:23.580 let it happen
00:59:24.860 as long as she
00:59:26.160 was willing
00:59:27.620 to do the work
00:59:28.260 and so it just
00:59:29.020 went through
00:59:29.520 this draft
00:59:30.880 and that draft
00:59:31.740 and it was such
00:59:32.500 a mess
00:59:33.060 we call it
00:59:33.820 development hell
00:59:34.540 and I
00:59:36.500 just
00:59:37.180 would call her
00:59:38.440 and say
00:59:39.060 this is just
00:59:39.840 so bad
00:59:40.840 the second
00:59:42.240 new line
00:59:43.020 lets this go
00:59:44.460 we're going
00:59:45.300 to make
00:59:45.640 the original
00:59:46.300 script
00:59:46.800 and that's
00:59:47.580 what happened
00:59:48.000 in fact
00:59:49.080 they didn't
00:59:49.420 let it go
00:59:50.000 I took it
00:59:50.660 away from them
00:59:51.380 and Jeremy
00:59:53.540 and Ben
00:59:53.940 read it
00:59:54.300 in an afternoon
00:59:55.240 they had an
00:59:55.800 evening
00:59:56.120 but they only
00:59:56.960 took an
00:59:57.300 afternoon
00:59:57.800 and we
00:59:58.780 emotionally
00:59:59.360 greenlit it
01:00:00.180 on the phone
01:00:00.720 together one
01:00:01.360 day
01:00:01.720 and you know
01:00:03.500 30 days later
01:00:04.360 we were in
01:00:04.780 Nashville prepping
01:00:05.520 and 60 days
01:00:06.160 later we were
01:00:06.620 shooting
01:00:06.900 it couldn't
01:00:07.840 have happened
01:00:08.220 faster
01:00:08.560 it was awesome
01:00:09.300 and I'm sorry
01:00:10.640 we had some
01:00:11.060 technical difficulties
01:00:11.760 I guess DJ
01:00:12.340 isn't going to
01:00:12.840 be able to
01:00:13.380 join us
01:00:14.220 but DJ
01:00:14.980 did such an
01:00:15.700 amazing job
01:00:16.240 on this movie
01:00:16.820 I mean
01:00:17.120 and a real
01:00:18.120 trooper
01:00:18.480 at an impossible
01:00:19.560 time
01:00:20.060 DJ
01:00:20.800 a very well
01:00:22.100 known director
01:00:22.700 huge hits
01:00:23.420 basically helped
01:00:23.940 create the
01:00:24.700 career of
01:00:25.060 Shia LaBeouf
01:00:25.580 and at the
01:00:26.780 time that he
01:00:27.200 came out
01:00:27.440 and did this
01:00:27.820 movie
01:00:28.040 he had another
01:00:28.980 film that was
01:00:29.600 still in post
01:00:30.160 production
01:00:30.520 which is
01:00:31.440 Redeeming Love
01:00:32.160 based on
01:00:33.120 a really
01:00:33.980 beloved
01:00:35.300 Christian novel
01:00:36.380 a difficult
01:00:38.280 challenging
01:00:38.720 Christian novel
01:00:39.380 but a
01:00:39.800 beloved
01:00:40.080 Christian novel
01:00:40.680 and DJ
01:00:41.740 is one of
01:00:42.260 the only
01:00:42.500 guys now
01:00:42.880 in Hollywood
01:00:43.240 who in
01:00:43.580 this month
01:00:44.240 is rolling
01:00:44.620 out two
01:00:45.220 feature films
01:00:46.820 the amount
01:00:48.040 of work
01:00:48.400 that that
01:00:48.700 guy had
01:00:49.020 to put
01:00:49.300 in
01:00:49.560 unbelievable
01:00:50.640 he was
01:00:51.540 finishing
01:00:52.360 the sound
01:00:52.940 mix
01:00:53.360 and driving
01:00:54.440 to his
01:00:55.020 other premiere
01:00:55.660 on our
01:00:56.800 movie
01:00:57.020 and then
01:00:57.300 to the
01:00:57.520 next
01:00:57.800 so yeah
01:00:58.480 DJ
01:00:58.960 was so
01:00:59.380 great
01:00:59.660 we sought
01:01:00.300 him out
01:01:00.840 we knew
01:01:01.640 he was
01:01:01.900 a Christian
01:01:02.380 we knew
01:01:03.900 he had
01:01:04.640 big studio
01:01:05.860 level
01:01:06.220 experience
01:01:07.020 and there
01:01:08.260 is a
01:01:08.820 common
01:01:09.340 thought
01:01:09.800 that once
01:01:10.340 you make
01:01:10.740 a big
01:01:11.220 movie
01:01:11.560 you can't
01:01:12.000 go back
01:01:12.560 you can't
01:01:13.340 make a
01:01:13.580 smaller
01:01:13.860 one
01:01:14.060 you sort
01:01:14.760 of lose
01:01:15.100 that mojo
01:01:16.140 but in
01:01:17.640 conversing
01:01:18.620 with him
01:01:18.940 we had a lot
01:01:19.400 of conversations
01:01:20.060 with him
01:01:20.620 we got a good
01:01:22.280 sense that he
01:01:22.980 was going to
01:01:23.420 hit the
01:01:23.720 commercial
01:01:24.380 beats
01:01:25.780 on a movie
01:01:26.380 like this
01:01:26.920 that we
01:01:27.420 needed
01:01:27.740 because
01:01:28.160 I want
01:01:29.160 this to
01:01:29.700 compete
01:01:30.280 and beat
01:01:31.160 Hollywood
01:01:31.900 I don't
01:01:32.640 want to
01:01:33.280 just make
01:01:34.420 independent
01:01:34.820 movies
01:01:35.340 or low
01:01:36.060 budget
01:01:36.300 movies
01:01:36.640 or anything
01:01:36.880 like that
01:01:37.260 I want
01:01:38.020 to
01:01:38.160 whoop
01:01:39.200 them
01:01:39.420 right
01:01:39.940 and so
01:01:41.120 this was
01:01:42.560 important
01:01:43.040 I think
01:01:43.840 in many
01:01:44.260 ways
01:01:44.740 that the
01:01:45.900 first
01:01:46.180 Daily Wire
01:01:46.640 original
01:01:47.040 production
01:01:47.580 had a
01:01:49.080 scope
01:01:49.780 to it
01:01:50.340 even though
01:01:50.800 the story
01:01:51.240 was contained
01:01:52.000 big idea
01:01:52.980 little box
01:01:53.820 I think
01:01:54.620 DJ
01:01:54.880 knocked it
01:01:55.360 out of the
01:01:55.560 park
01:01:55.800 I think
01:01:56.220 some of
01:01:56.520 the camera
01:01:56.900 moves
01:01:57.280 in the
01:01:57.580 movie
01:01:58.320 are just
01:01:58.940 awesome
01:01:59.420 the cinematography
01:02:01.160 in particular
01:02:01.960 is really
01:02:02.960 incredible
01:02:03.540 it's
01:02:04.340 yeah
01:02:05.200 I've been
01:02:07.520 doing a number
01:02:07.940 of interviews
01:02:08.460 to promote
01:02:09.480 the movie
01:02:09.860 I don't know
01:02:10.380 why
01:02:10.620 I had nothing
01:02:11.100 to do
01:02:11.320 with making
01:02:11.680 the movie
01:02:11.980 but I've been
01:02:12.780 doing these
01:02:13.100 interviews
01:02:13.320 to promote
01:02:13.700 the movie
01:02:14.020 and they said
01:02:14.720 so what can
01:02:15.420 you tell us
01:02:15.800 about it
01:02:16.020 and I said
01:02:16.240 the thing
01:02:16.940 that no one
01:02:17.740 is going
01:02:18.040 to believe
01:02:18.560 that is
01:02:19.080 actually
01:02:19.340 I've really
01:02:19.760 got to tell
01:02:20.100 you
01:02:20.180 is that
01:02:21.200 it's a
01:02:21.500 real movie
01:02:22.280 it's like
01:02:22.660 an actual
01:02:23.360 movie
01:02:23.880 it's not
01:02:25.180 the Daily Wire
01:02:25.920 made a movie
01:02:26.480 movie
01:02:26.880 what is the
01:02:28.620 release strategy
01:02:29.460 here
01:02:29.780 just so I
01:02:30.880 understand it
01:02:31.520 how are we
01:02:32.460 trying to reach
01:02:33.020 people
01:02:33.420 yeah
01:02:33.740 well the reason
01:02:34.940 we're premiering
01:02:35.420 the movie
01:02:35.700 tonight
01:02:35.980 on YouTube
01:02:36.740 for free
01:02:37.300 as a live
01:02:37.860 stream
01:02:38.140 what that
01:02:38.480 means is
01:02:38.920 the movie
01:02:39.280 will play
01:02:39.840 the second
01:02:41.320 it's over
01:02:41.660 it's gone
01:02:41.960 from YouTube
01:02:42.380 forever
01:02:42.740 so if you
01:02:43.760 were to join
01:02:44.140 15 minutes
01:02:44.780 late
01:02:45.140 you're only
01:02:47.160 going to get
01:02:47.420 the last
01:02:47.780 right
01:02:48.200 because
01:02:48.480 one minute
01:02:49.480 and 40
01:02:49.800 or one hour
01:02:50.620 and 40 minutes
01:02:51.060 in
01:02:51.340 gone forever
01:02:52.280 behind the
01:02:52.800 Daily Wire
01:02:53.160 paywall
01:02:54.020 after that
01:02:54.740 why
01:02:55.500 well
01:02:55.980 the reason
01:02:56.920 it goes
01:02:57.120 behind the
01:02:57.400 Daily Wire
01:02:57.740 paywall
01:02:58.120 is because
01:02:58.340 we're trying
01:02:59.520 to build
01:02:59.780 the golden
01:03:00.100 goose
01:03:00.440 if conservatives
01:03:01.600 really want to
01:03:02.120 compete in the
01:03:02.680 media in a
01:03:03.780 major way
01:03:04.340 we have to own
01:03:05.420 production
01:03:06.340 marketing
01:03:07.040 and distribution
01:03:07.840 things have
01:03:08.980 changed
01:03:09.240 technologically
01:03:09.840 for one
01:03:10.620 we built
01:03:11.060 the Daily Wire
01:03:11.620 and the Daily Wire
01:03:12.240 is an enormous
01:03:13.080 marketing machine
01:03:14.000 we team with
01:03:14.940 Dallas Sonier
01:03:15.500 Dallas Sonier
01:03:16.220 is a fabulous
01:03:17.040 producer
01:03:17.800 so now we have
01:03:18.340 two out of the
01:03:18.840 three
01:03:19.100 what's changed
01:03:20.500 technologically
01:03:21.120 and we saw it
01:03:22.240 so much during
01:03:22.680 COVID
01:03:22.900 is the rise
01:03:23.800 of the SVOD
01:03:24.360 platform
01:03:24.880 that
01:03:25.580 what Ben
01:03:27.040 and Caleb
01:03:27.740 and I
01:03:28.000 were talking
01:03:28.420 about a year
01:03:29.040 ago
01:03:29.280 or 18 months
01:03:29.900 ago
01:03:30.160 in the early
01:03:31.400 days of COVID
01:03:31.960 was SVOD
01:03:33.160 is about to
01:03:33.740 really ascend
01:03:34.460 and we sort
01:03:35.760 of accidentally
01:03:36.680 built technologically
01:03:37.940 an SVOD
01:03:38.400 platform
01:03:38.840 we built it
01:03:39.660 to distribute
01:03:40.120 our podcast
01:03:40.760 the video
01:03:41.220 versions of
01:03:41.640 our podcast
01:03:42.100 but the
01:03:43.060 technology is
01:03:43.640 agnostic
01:03:44.040 as to what
01:03:44.500 the content
01:03:44.900 is
01:03:45.160 we have a
01:03:46.200 real opportunity
01:03:46.780 we could put
01:03:47.420 films on
01:03:48.120 this platform
01:03:48.860 use our
01:03:49.760 marketing engine
01:03:50.440 to promote
01:03:51.240 them
01:03:51.500 and not just
01:03:52.720 release a movie
01:03:53.460 but actually
01:03:54.820 create an industry
01:03:55.500 we actually
01:03:56.140 have a shot
01:03:56.720 everything has
01:03:57.960 to go right
01:03:58.380 we have to
01:03:58.740 win
01:03:58.920 the projects
01:03:59.400 have to be
01:03:59.760 great
01:04:00.100 people have
01:04:00.740 to support
01:04:01.120 them
01:04:01.280 but if they
01:04:01.820 do
01:04:02.160 we can build
01:04:03.180 the golden
01:04:03.560 goose
01:04:03.900 and the golden
01:04:04.420 goose can
01:04:04.840 produce not
01:04:05.360 just a movie
01:04:06.020 the golden
01:04:06.740 goose can
01:04:07.100 produce movies
01:04:07.700 that the
01:04:08.700 power of
01:04:09.680 the recurring
01:04:10.360 subscription
01:04:10.920 is that you
01:04:12.360 get to
01:04:12.720 over time
01:04:13.460 become a
01:04:13.820 Netflix
01:04:14.040 you get to
01:04:14.360 over time
01:04:14.620 become an
01:04:15.000 HBO Max
01:04:15.500 get to
01:04:15.780 over time
01:04:16.180 become a
01:04:16.940 Disney
01:04:17.180 that's never
01:04:17.920 been possible
01:04:18.420 before without
01:04:19.340 enormous amounts
01:04:20.560 of institutional
01:04:21.100 capital
01:04:21.400 all the people
01:04:22.120 who subscribe
01:04:22.620 to us
01:04:23.180 are actually
01:04:23.760 making this
01:04:24.360 work
01:04:24.680 yes
01:04:24.960 they're the
01:04:25.640 only reason
01:04:26.080 this is happening
01:04:26.560 so you might
01:04:27.180 say well why
01:04:27.540 put it out
01:04:27.960 for free
01:04:28.280 on YouTube
01:04:28.620 first
01:04:29.060 what's the
01:04:29.420 point
01:04:29.580 well part
01:04:30.120 of the
01:04:30.260 point is
01:04:30.680 because people
01:04:31.260 don't believe
01:04:31.620 the Daily
01:04:31.900 Wire can make
01:04:32.340 a movie
01:04:32.620 so part of it
01:04:33.600 is a brand
01:04:34.060 play that
01:04:34.560 we're saying
01:04:34.900 look this
01:04:35.880 is real
01:04:36.280 this isn't
01:04:37.520 Hillary's
01:04:37.940 Hard Drive
01:04:38.300 Part 3
01:04:38.740 or whatever
01:04:39.100 this is an
01:04:40.100 actual movie
01:04:41.280 I love that
01:04:41.780 film
01:04:42.040 I'm not saying
01:04:43.740 we wouldn't
01:04:44.200 make it
01:04:44.600 there goes my
01:04:47.260 pitch next week
01:04:48.060 alright
01:04:48.360 so you know
01:04:50.520 as with our
01:04:51.440 podcast we've
01:04:52.140 always taken
01:04:52.700 a strategy
01:04:53.380 that you
01:04:54.460 have to put
01:04:54.940 content out
01:04:55.520 wide enough
01:04:56.100 that people
01:04:56.580 want to then
01:04:58.340 support the
01:04:58.800 endeavor
01:04:59.140 I think that
01:05:00.860 for us
01:05:01.820 sometimes we fall
01:05:02.840 into the trap
01:05:03.320 of thinking
01:05:03.660 that there's a
01:05:04.120 distinction between
01:05:04.880 mission and
01:05:06.060 value
01:05:06.480 but what I've
01:05:08.200 come to learn
01:05:08.620 throughout this
01:05:09.060 business in
01:05:09.540 particular
01:05:09.860 is that the
01:05:10.620 mission is
01:05:11.280 part of the
01:05:11.800 value
01:05:12.120 the reason
01:05:13.620 DailyWire.com
01:05:14.580 members become
01:05:15.340 DailyWire.com
01:05:16.200 members
01:05:16.560 yes they want
01:05:17.520 the value of the
01:05:18.140 content that we
01:05:18.680 offer
01:05:18.900 they really want
01:05:20.040 the value of
01:05:20.840 the mission
01:05:21.240 itself they
01:05:21.760 want to be a
01:05:22.180 part of
01:05:23.120 punching back
01:05:23.820 they want to
01:05:24.060 be a part of
01:05:24.500 the fight
01:05:24.820 they want to
01:05:25.140 be a part of
01:05:25.560 saying to the
01:05:26.460 political left
01:05:27.260 no and they
01:05:28.320 want to be part
01:05:29.000 of saying now
01:05:29.420 to the cultural
01:05:29.940 left no
01:05:30.820 welcome to the
01:05:31.660 party pal I
01:05:32.340 think that's
01:05:32.680 great
01:05:32.960 yeah
01:05:33.300 well that was
01:05:34.640 the original
01:05:35.000 thesis that
01:05:35.680 Jeremy and I
01:05:36.140 were talking
01:05:36.460 about a decade
01:05:36.920 ago and it
01:05:37.340 just took the
01:05:37.740 technology to
01:05:38.560 develop and the
01:05:39.480 left to move
01:05:39.940 into crazy domains
01:05:41.300 where they don't
01:05:41.720 even make any
01:05:42.180 good movies
01:05:42.660 anymore
01:05:43.020 that's the
01:05:43.400 market opportunity
01:05:44.740 the market
01:05:45.040 opportunity is the
01:05:45.680 biggest thing
01:05:46.040 honestly we
01:05:46.460 turned to each
01:05:46.860 other in the
01:05:47.300 middle of the
01:05:47.680 riots last
01:05:48.180 year and we
01:05:48.540 said right now
01:05:49.540 if we just
01:05:50.020 bought up
01:05:50.700 shows about
01:05:51.920 cops
01:05:52.480 we would make
01:05:54.480 a fortune
01:05:55.100 because Hollywood
01:05:55.700 literally will not
01:05:56.420 make a movie in
01:05:57.100 which the cops are
01:05:57.740 just the good
01:05:58.320 guys without some
01:05:58.980 sort of self
01:05:59.860 flagellating speech
01:06:00.760 about the
01:06:01.140 internalized racism
01:06:02.200 of the police
01:06:02.700 and how they
01:06:03.040 had to get
01:06:03.340 beyond it and
01:06:03.860 how the police
01:06:04.240 used to be
01:06:04.600 homophobic but
01:06:05.240 now they're
01:06:05.540 super tolerant
01:06:06.240 and have
01:06:06.560 diversity
01:06:07.160 equity
01:06:07.500 they actually
01:06:08.060 brought Brooklyn
01:06:08.820 99 back out
01:06:10.000 of cancellation
01:06:10.640 to do a season
01:06:11.960 to apologize for
01:06:13.100 Brooklyn 99's
01:06:13.900 existence
01:06:14.340 that's exactly
01:06:15.020 right
01:06:15.300 that's exactly
01:06:15.740 right
01:06:15.880 I mean
01:06:16.140 Dallas
01:06:16.620 you've worked
01:06:17.660 obviously inside
01:06:18.280 the Hollywood
01:06:18.600 machine
01:06:18.800 now you're
01:06:19.040 working well
01:06:19.460 outside the
01:06:19.940 Hollywood
01:06:20.180 machine
01:06:20.580 what's the
01:06:21.420 difference
01:06:21.760 well
01:06:22.060 keep in mind
01:06:23.180 I made a
01:06:24.340 cop movie
01:06:25.060 with Mel Gibson
01:06:26.160 called Dragged Across
01:06:27.500 Concrete
01:06:27.860 very not political
01:06:28.500 I mean that
01:06:31.460 you know
01:06:32.780 it was
01:06:33.540 interesting
01:06:34.180 right when we
01:06:35.940 announced the movie
01:06:36.900 I got a phone call
01:06:37.740 from Color of Change
01:06:38.920 right
01:06:39.480 and they
01:06:40.120 put me through
01:06:41.140 a Maoist struggle
01:06:42.160 session
01:06:42.660 of just
01:06:43.360 you know
01:06:43.960 how dare you
01:06:45.000 cast him
01:06:46.080 and how dare
01:06:46.920 you make this
01:06:47.820 and it was just
01:06:48.860 it was awesome
01:06:49.640 I mean I really
01:06:50.580 enjoyed it
01:06:51.400 I so enjoyed
01:06:52.940 the conversation
01:06:53.740 and they really
01:06:54.740 had never run
01:06:55.420 into a buzzsaw
01:06:57.140 before who told
01:06:58.140 them
01:06:58.580 absolutely not
01:07:00.220 I'm not changing
01:07:00.820 a word
01:07:01.460 I even sent
01:07:02.740 them the script
01:07:03.660 they never wrote
01:07:05.160 me back
01:07:05.720 they never called
01:07:06.420 me back
01:07:06.960 that's just
01:07:08.420 impolite
01:07:09.040 yeah
01:07:09.420 so
01:07:10.660 so I
01:07:11.760 you know
01:07:13.080 it's like
01:07:13.620 all the 16
01:07:14.760 years I was
01:07:15.420 in LA
01:07:15.960 and the 7
01:07:17.060 years since
01:07:18.280 making movies
01:07:19.280 with Jason
01:07:20.900 Sudeikis
01:07:21.640 and Guy
01:07:22.340 Pierce
01:07:22.820 and Thomas
01:07:23.520 Jane
01:07:23.900 and Mel
01:07:24.740 and Vince
01:07:25.320 Vaughn
01:07:25.720 and Kurt
01:07:26.180 Russell
01:07:26.560 and all
01:07:27.640 these fantastic
01:07:28.720 actors
01:07:29.360 I am bringing
01:07:32.260 all of that
01:07:33.260 all those
01:07:34.320 relationships
01:07:34.940 in the agency
01:07:35.800 world
01:07:36.280 all of my
01:07:37.300 sort of
01:07:37.760 understanding
01:07:38.720 of how
01:07:39.240 productions
01:07:39.800 are made
01:07:40.400 but also
01:07:41.640 an incredible
01:07:43.820 chip on my
01:07:44.580 shoulder
01:07:44.940 and
01:07:46.820 when I
01:07:48.740 talked
01:07:49.900 to
01:07:50.500 the two
01:07:51.140 of you
01:07:51.660 you and I
01:07:52.500 meeting
01:07:52.920 originally
01:07:53.640 and you and I
01:07:54.580 doing the deal
01:07:55.660 for Run Hide Fight
01:07:56.600 originally
01:07:57.060 I knew I had
01:07:59.420 my tribe
01:08:01.220 I knew I had
01:08:02.240 my team
01:08:02.840 and so now
01:08:04.000 I'm evangelizing
01:08:05.040 this to all the
01:08:05.760 filmmakers out there
01:08:06.860 and I want to
01:08:07.940 build this bigger
01:08:08.760 I don't want to
01:08:09.360 be the only
01:08:09.880 producer
01:08:10.360 because I can't
01:08:11.500 be on that
01:08:11.860 many sets
01:08:12.400 at the same
01:08:12.880 time
01:08:13.220 so this is an
01:08:15.020 opportunity
01:08:15.400 of a lifetime
01:08:15.980 for a guy
01:08:17.900 like me
01:08:18.540 but also
01:08:19.440 I'm just so
01:08:20.100 happy to have
01:08:21.340 this opportunity
01:08:21.980 and have these
01:08:22.580 relationships
01:08:23.100 with you guys
01:08:23.860 Hollywood
01:08:25.440 is in the
01:08:26.840 rear view mirror
01:08:27.540 so far for me
01:08:28.540 I don't even
01:08:29.020 remember
01:08:29.500 I think one of
01:08:30.140 the cool things
01:08:31.360 is that
01:08:31.960 some of the
01:08:33.020 people that
01:08:33.400 we're working
01:08:33.880 with
01:08:34.140 we know
01:08:34.700 these people
01:08:35.060 are just going
01:08:35.580 to be
01:08:35.800 blockbuster
01:08:36.340 stars
01:08:36.740 and there
01:08:37.320 is this
01:08:37.640 stigma
01:08:38.240 that attaches
01:08:38.880 to working
01:08:39.840 with a
01:08:40.360 conservative
01:08:40.780 outlet
01:08:41.160 like the
01:08:41.540 Daily Wire
01:08:42.040 but that
01:08:42.580 stigma
01:08:42.820 is not true
01:08:44.000 it's not real
01:08:44.920 Isabel May
01:08:45.860 was the star
01:08:46.360 of Run, Hide, Fight
01:08:47.000 she's now the star
01:08:47.840 of 1883
01:08:48.640 and how do you
01:08:49.360 say Taylor Sheridan
01:08:50.420 found her
01:08:51.120 it wasn't from
01:08:52.520 Kate and Alexa
01:08:53.480 on Netflix
01:08:54.260 right
01:08:54.980 it was from
01:08:55.880 Run, Hide, Fight
01:08:56.580 and you know
01:08:58.220 look
01:08:58.520 they then go
01:09:00.140 out there
01:09:00.760 and poke at us
01:09:02.120 a little bit
01:09:02.720 by saying
01:09:03.320 introducing
01:09:04.060 Isabel May
01:09:05.060 on the
01:09:06.300 1883
01:09:07.140 trailers
01:09:08.120 and you know
01:09:09.700 I spend a few
01:09:10.460 minutes
01:09:10.860 calling her
01:09:12.160 manager
01:09:12.540 and you know
01:09:13.160 giving him
01:09:13.520 my piece
01:09:14.000 but the truth
01:09:15.240 is that
01:09:15.860 you're right
01:09:17.140 like Isabel May
01:09:18.740 now Rainy
01:09:19.720 Qualley
01:09:20.100 and she's going
01:09:20.840 to explode
01:09:21.700 off of this
01:09:23.020 and so on
01:09:24.680 and so forth
01:09:25.280 and you look
01:09:26.320 at
01:09:26.520 it's also worth
01:09:27.240 noting that
01:09:27.700 I don't know
01:09:28.820 the politics
01:09:29.280 of either
01:09:29.720 of those two
01:09:30.160 actresses
01:09:30.600 we did a deal
01:09:32.760 recently for
01:09:33.540 the film
01:09:33.900 that we're
01:09:34.120 going to be
01:09:34.520 introducing people
01:09:35.460 to our
01:09:36.680 surprise trailer
01:09:37.720 I keep
01:09:38.080 referencing it
01:09:38.860 so it's not
01:09:39.200 too much
01:09:39.500 of a surprise
01:09:39.940 but we've
01:09:41.060 acquired a film
01:09:41.720 that we're
01:09:41.960 going to
01:09:42.120 release a month
01:09:42.680 from today
01:09:43.140 and I doubt
01:09:44.080 that anyone
01:09:44.420 involved in
01:09:44.920 making that
01:09:45.400 film is a
01:09:45.900 Ben Shapiro
01:09:46.340 listener
01:09:46.700 but what they
01:09:49.420 are is
01:09:49.740 incredible
01:09:50.260 talents
01:09:50.740 and what they
01:09:51.480 are are
01:09:51.880 people who
01:09:52.240 are willing
01:09:52.580 to make
01:09:52.940 films that
01:09:53.520 don't cut
01:09:55.440 against our
01:09:56.220 audience
01:09:56.500 which is
01:09:56.780 really all
01:09:57.120 we're asking
01:09:57.520 for
01:09:57.800 we're not
01:09:58.460 saying make
01:09:59.020 things that
01:09:59.680 champion
01:10:00.920 right wing
01:10:01.840 causes
01:10:02.220 we're saying
01:10:02.700 make films
01:10:03.600 that are
01:10:03.820 for everyone
01:10:04.440 and in
01:10:05.500 particular
01:10:05.980 don't cut
01:10:07.460 against or
01:10:08.020 insult
01:10:08.460 a conservative
01:10:10.440 audience
01:10:10.860 even that
01:10:11.840 is
01:10:12.600 unheard of
01:10:14.300 in Hollywood
01:10:14.660 right now
01:10:15.080 what you said
01:10:15.520 before about
01:10:16.140 assaulting
01:10:16.920 Captain America
01:10:17.720 taking away
01:10:18.700 things that
01:10:19.460 are naturally
01:10:20.280 and not
01:10:21.520 right wing
01:10:21.960 but just
01:10:22.300 old fashioned
01:10:23.340 traditionalist
01:10:24.080 and American
01:10:24.540 that is their
01:10:25.840 mission
01:10:26.140 and so just
01:10:27.140 not doing
01:10:28.000 that is
01:10:28.420 actually
01:10:28.880 do you think
01:10:29.560 that there
01:10:29.860 in Hollywood
01:10:30.520 there's a
01:10:30.960 core of
01:10:31.440 people who
01:10:32.000 want to
01:10:32.420 make real
01:10:33.700 movies that
01:10:34.220 don't have
01:10:34.460 all the woke
01:10:34.860 stuff but
01:10:35.300 they just
01:10:35.540 don't have
01:10:36.060 they don't
01:10:37.340 have the
01:10:37.820 mechanism to
01:10:38.660 do it
01:10:38.940 does that
01:10:39.220 exist
01:10:39.840 I'll go a
01:10:40.440 step further
01:10:40.960 there are
01:10:41.840 people that
01:10:42.280 call me
01:10:42.880 it's starting
01:10:43.700 to become
01:10:44.120 daily
01:10:44.560 right
01:10:45.220 executives
01:10:46.120 within the
01:10:46.740 business
01:10:47.220 filmmakers
01:10:48.040 agents
01:10:48.940 managers
01:10:49.940 all kinds
01:10:51.520 of different
01:10:51.880 people
01:10:52.260 just wanting
01:10:54.040 to know
01:10:54.440 what this
01:10:54.760 is like
01:10:55.240 for me
01:10:55.820 because they
01:10:57.060 and they're
01:10:58.020 not even
01:10:58.380 conservative
01:10:58.920 they're just
01:10:59.540 so sick
01:11:00.480 of going
01:11:01.600 through
01:11:02.160 those implicit
01:11:03.380 bias training
01:11:04.240 sessions
01:11:04.800 and having
01:11:05.520 to act
01:11:06.040 like they
01:11:06.440 care
01:11:06.840 and
01:11:08.060 their
01:11:09.340 heart
01:11:10.980 and soul
01:11:11.820 are just
01:11:12.240 dying
01:11:12.780 inside
01:11:13.460 and so
01:11:14.440 they're
01:11:15.260 starting to
01:11:15.720 call
01:11:16.040 and I
01:11:17.440 won't break
01:11:17.900 any trust
01:11:18.440 yet
01:11:18.720 but that
01:11:19.780 number
01:11:20.180 is going
01:11:20.580 to grow
01:11:21.440 and the
01:11:22.420 squad
01:11:22.840 is going
01:11:23.200 to expand
01:11:23.960 true
01:11:24.080 I interviewed
01:11:24.840 a writer
01:11:25.240 yesterday
01:11:25.780 who is
01:11:27.480 certainly
01:11:28.040 a democrat
01:11:28.520 not a leftist
01:11:29.240 but certainly
01:11:29.800 to the left
01:11:30.720 of any
01:11:31.040 of us
01:11:31.480 and willing
01:11:33.520 to come
01:11:33.860 right for us
01:11:34.200 pitched us
01:11:34.680 some stuff
01:11:35.240 that was really
01:11:35.700 good
01:11:35.920 and I said
01:11:36.320 what motivates
01:11:37.240 you to do
01:11:37.700 something like
01:11:38.120 this
01:11:38.280 obviously
01:11:38.760 you're not
01:11:40.360 a perfect
01:11:40.800 alignment fit
01:11:41.560 with us
01:11:42.460 politically
01:11:42.820 and he said
01:11:43.740 well I'll be
01:11:44.040 honest
01:11:44.280 I've been
01:11:44.920 building my
01:11:45.780 career
01:11:46.080 I've worked
01:11:46.740 my way
01:11:47.080 through
01:11:47.260 250 episodes
01:11:48.880 of scripted
01:11:49.340 television
01:11:49.720 starting as
01:11:50.600 a producer's
01:11:51.140 assistant
01:11:51.500 then becoming
01:11:53.560 a script
01:11:54.500 coordinator
01:11:54.980 working my
01:11:55.600 way up
01:11:55.940 I've had
01:11:56.980 scripts produced
01:11:57.580 on major
01:11:58.040 shows
01:11:58.460 he said
01:11:59.400 and starting
01:12:01.120 about 18
01:12:02.140 months ago
01:12:02.620 it was just
01:12:03.400 over for me
01:12:03.960 he said
01:12:04.920 I've put in
01:12:07.360 all this work
01:12:07.940 to cultivate
01:12:08.420 this skill
01:12:09.000 they gave
01:12:09.980 a PA
01:12:11.020 on my show
01:12:11.800 a PA
01:12:12.180 is a production
01:12:12.860 assistant
01:12:13.280 the lowest
01:12:14.220 person on
01:12:14.960 the set
01:12:15.360 it's an
01:12:16.500 hourly wage
01:12:17.240 job
01:12:17.540 sometimes what
01:12:18.140 a PA
01:12:18.440 does
01:12:18.760 like the
01:12:19.120 actual job
01:12:19.760 is sit
01:12:21.240 by that
01:12:21.620 door
01:12:21.840 and make
01:12:22.100 sure no
01:12:22.380 one comes
01:12:22.780 through it
01:12:23.320 for 12
01:12:23.960 hours
01:12:24.300 and listen
01:12:25.020 you can't
01:12:25.560 make movies
01:12:25.940 without PAs
01:12:26.540 many people
01:12:27.700 get their
01:12:28.020 start as
01:12:28.360 PAs
01:12:28.700 but it is
01:12:29.520 the lowest
01:12:30.160 job
01:12:30.720 in the
01:12:31.560 hierarchy
01:12:31.940 he said
01:12:32.680 they went
01:12:33.020 to a
01:12:33.440 PA on
01:12:33.920 my show
01:12:34.280 who was
01:12:34.560 black
01:12:34.920 and gave
01:12:37.260 him three
01:12:37.620 episodes
01:12:37.940 to direct
01:12:38.500 wow
01:12:39.080 didn't go
01:12:39.840 to film
01:12:40.160 school
01:12:40.480 has never
01:12:41.320 done
01:12:41.600 has never
01:12:42.040 actually
01:12:42.480 contributed
01:12:42.940 to an
01:12:43.340 hour of
01:12:43.700 television
01:12:44.000 being made
01:12:44.540 they made
01:12:45.220 him an
01:12:45.420 actual
01:12:45.660 director
01:12:45.980 because
01:12:46.540 Hollywood
01:12:47.360 decided
01:12:47.840 during the
01:12:48.240 Black Lives Matter
01:12:49.000 riots in
01:12:50.680 particular
01:12:51.180 that
01:12:52.260 they will
01:12:54.100 not
01:12:54.880 grow more
01:12:56.860 straight white
01:12:57.940 men into
01:12:58.380 these positions
01:12:59.400 and so
01:12:59.840 there's a lot
01:13:00.440 of those guys
01:13:00.920 who put in
01:13:01.600 the work
01:13:01.940 they've put
01:13:02.380 in the effort
01:13:03.080 and because
01:13:04.100 they're in a
01:13:05.440 disfavored
01:13:06.040 racial category
01:13:07.740 at this moment
01:13:08.220 Hollywood just
01:13:08.660 won't work
01:13:08.980 with them
01:13:09.220 and it's
01:13:10.380 horrible for
01:13:10.980 everyone involved
01:13:11.480 if you're that
01:13:11.960 PA
01:13:12.260 that's actually
01:13:13.480 horrible
01:13:13.820 it seems like
01:13:14.440 your dreams
01:13:14.840 just came true
01:13:15.580 but what
01:13:16.340 a terrible
01:13:16.720 thing
01:13:17.100 to one
01:13:17.760 day know
01:13:18.320 that your
01:13:18.720 merit
01:13:19.200 even if
01:13:20.120 you have
01:13:20.680 merit
01:13:21.080 I mean
01:13:21.500 that PA
01:13:21.940 may be
01:13:22.720 the greatest
01:13:24.200 filmmaker
01:13:24.560 who ever
01:13:24.860 lived
01:13:25.120 if he got
01:13:25.620 to put
01:13:25.920 in the
01:13:26.140 work
01:13:26.340 and grow
01:13:26.780 but it
01:13:27.900 isn't
01:13:28.300 his merit
01:13:28.820 that got
01:13:29.160 him this
01:13:29.460 opportunity
01:13:29.920 it's only
01:13:30.940 the
01:13:31.780 virtue
01:13:32.720 signaling
01:13:33.300 charity
01:13:33.960 of
01:13:34.880 also
01:13:36.160 white
01:13:36.480 guys
01:13:36.880 in positions
01:13:37.960 of power
01:13:38.540 who don't
01:13:39.160 want to
01:13:39.340 leave
01:13:39.440 it's just
01:13:39.760 like
01:13:40.000 Biden
01:13:40.360 saying
01:13:40.720 I'm gonna
01:13:41.200 have a
01:13:41.420 black
01:13:41.680 female
01:13:42.100 jurist
01:13:45.940 on the
01:13:46.140 Supreme
01:13:46.400 Court
01:13:46.640 if she's
01:13:47.660 there
01:13:47.820 because of
01:13:48.260 merit
01:13:48.440 but if
01:13:48.740 you've
01:13:49.020 said
01:13:49.540 from the
01:13:49.920 outset
01:13:50.260 that those
01:13:50.620 are the
01:13:50.820 only
01:13:51.020 people
01:13:51.300 who will
01:13:51.540 be
01:13:52.320 even
01:13:53.020 considered
01:13:53.440 94%
01:13:54.260 of the
01:13:54.500 country
01:13:54.740 is
01:13:54.880 completely
01:13:55.240 out of
01:13:55.520 the
01:13:55.620 running
01:13:55.780 that's
01:13:55.980 right
01:13:56.060 then you've
01:13:56.460 actually
01:13:56.680 said to
01:13:57.140 the
01:13:57.260 eventual
01:13:57.520 nominee
01:13:57.960 even if
01:13:58.600 you have
01:13:59.080 merit
01:13:59.540 we all
01:14:00.820 know why
01:14:01.060 you really
01:14:01.560 got the
01:14:01.840 job
01:14:03.000 you know
01:14:03.660 it's
01:14:03.800 funny
01:14:04.020 working
01:14:04.480 in
01:14:04.660 Hollywood
01:14:04.940 I
01:14:05.160 noticed
01:14:05.520 I
01:14:05.760 couldn't
01:14:06.260 help but
01:14:06.600 notice
01:14:06.900 that the
01:14:07.600 black
01:14:07.820 guys I
01:14:08.240 worked
01:14:08.480 with
01:14:08.760 were
01:14:08.980 either
01:14:09.240 the
01:14:09.700 very
01:14:10.160 best
01:14:10.560 they
01:14:11.000 had
01:14:11.180 worked
01:14:11.580 over
01:14:12.040 all the
01:14:12.940 prejudices
01:14:13.460 and all
01:14:13.720 that
01:14:13.840 stuff
01:14:14.020 and they
01:14:14.460 were great
01:14:14.880 you know
01:14:15.100 you just
01:14:15.380 were thankful
01:14:16.080 to be in
01:14:16.540 the room
01:14:16.800 with them
01:14:17.000 or they
01:14:17.860 sucked
01:14:18.180 because they
01:14:18.700 had been
01:14:19.080 hired
01:14:19.620 because of
01:14:20.120 the color
01:14:20.380 of their
01:14:20.640 skin
01:14:20.860 which is
01:14:21.380 degrading
01:14:21.900 to everybody
01:14:22.480 it's just
01:14:22.960 degrading
01:14:23.640 and now
01:14:24.180 I know
01:14:24.460 people
01:14:24.800 who are
01:14:25.380 having
01:14:25.760 black
01:14:27.100 writers
01:14:27.540 attached
01:14:28.060 and giving
01:14:28.400 credit
01:14:28.820 black
01:14:29.140 producers
01:14:29.860 attached
01:14:30.540 and giving
01:14:31.180 credit
01:14:31.600 on screen
01:14:32.580 who aren't
01:14:33.140 doing
01:14:33.340 anything
01:14:33.720 and if
01:14:34.480 that's not
01:14:34.860 degrading
01:14:35.280 to a
01:14:35.520 person
01:14:35.760 I don't
01:14:36.020 know

01:14:36.240 is
