Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Press Launches COORDINATED Assault On Elon Musk After NUCLEAR Lawsuit w-Angel Studios

00:00:00.000 Bye bye.

00:00:11.000 Elon Musk files his lawsuit against Media Matters, an organization that seeks to simply lie about and destroy people's private businesses because they disagree politically.

00:00:20.000 And then Truth Social filed a lawsuit against 20 different media outlets for a coordinated defamation scheme where all of these outlets falsely claimed that Truth Social lost 73 million dollars.

00:00:32.000 Now, the crazy thing is, apparently they're all citing an SEC filing that never says this, so it's gonna get really, really interesting.

00:00:37.000 But here's where it gets interesting even more so.

00:00:40.000 This morning when I wake up and I say, okay, let's take a look at where we're at with this Elon Musk story, there's a new story.

00:00:44.000 It's weird.

00:00:46.000 It's actually an old story from about a month and a half ago about a man who is suing Elon Musk, a Jewish man.

00:00:53.000 Strangely, when you google search Elon Musk now, the news you get is not that he's suing Media Matters.

00:00:59.000 It is not the story explaining how X and Elon Musk claim Media Matters defrauded people.

00:01:06.000 It's actually a story from a month and a half ago about Elon Musk being sued by a Jewish man for being anti-Semitic.

00:01:11.000 Now why would all of these different news outlets run an old story at the exact same time?

00:01:17.000 My friends, it would seem that the war for the internet is on, and it's going to get particularly crazy moving forward, but there's a lot happening behind the scenes.

00:01:26.000 We'll talk about this.

00:01:27.000 We've got a bunch of stories about actors, celebrities, actresses getting fired over their statements about Israel and Palestine, so cancel culture is coming for them too.

00:01:36.000 We'll talk about all that, but before we get started, my friends, head over to castbrew.com to buy the best cup of coffee you've ever had.

00:03:51.000 We got Hannah Clare hanging out. 0.92

00:03:52.000 Hi, I'm Hannah-Claire Brimlow.

00:03:54.000 I was a writer at TimCast News, but now I'm a writer at Scanner.

00:03:57.000 And Ian's here.

00:03:58.000 Hi, everyone.

00:03:59.000 Ian Cross.

00:03:59.000 And Tim, I love you, man.

00:04:00.000 And I really appreciate your attention to detail, because picking up on this Elon Musk, the multiple outlets running this weird muddying the waters thing, I don't know that a lot of humans would pick up those kind of patterns.

00:04:11.000 So I really appreciate your brain, man.

00:04:12.000 Thanks for that.

00:04:13.000 Well, I mean, it's like you Google search the story.

00:04:15.000 You want to cross-reference the different stories and check their sources, and you don't find it.

00:04:19.000 You find a different story.

00:04:21.000 Well, we'll talk about it.

00:04:22.000 We got Serge hanging out.

00:04:24.000 Yes, I'm here.

00:04:24.000 Serge.com.

00:04:26.000 I'm ready whenever you are, Tim.

00:04:27.000 I do want to make one quick mention.

00:04:29.000 If you go to the Cast Brew Coffee account on Twitter slash X, we got a Black Friday code.

00:04:34.000 It's BLKFRI23.

00:04:36.000 And you can buy one, get one with a bunch of different blends and a bunch of different types of coffee that we got.

00:04:43.000 So pick that up this week.

00:04:44.000 And I just want to mention, Thursday and Friday, we are not here.

00:04:47.000 Why?

00:04:48.000 Because we're doing what everyone should be doing, hanging out with our families.

00:04:51.000 So, uh, tomorrow will be the last show of the week, but that being said, we can now just jump into the big news here.

00:04:57.000 Big news.

00:04:58.000 There's Angel Studios right there.

00:05:00.000 Let's get to it.

00:05:01.000 We have this from Wired.

00:05:03.000 Elon Musk's Media Matters lawsuit will have a chilling effect.

00:05:07.000 Musk has filed his thermonuclear suit against Media Matters for America at the same time the Texas AG launched an investigation into the nonprofit.

00:05:15.000 Now, this we saw yesterday.

00:05:18.000 Of course, there's a bunch of updates today.

00:05:20.000 It's slowly moving.

00:05:21.000 I think the fact that the AG is going for criminal charges against these organizations is particularly interesting.

00:05:27.000 But here's what was interesting this morning.

00:05:29.000 And this is something I don't see a lot of people writing up just yet, but it's something that must be covered.

00:05:34.000 Google search Elon Musk and click news.

00:05:37.000 And what do you get?

00:05:38.000 Well, what's the biggest story?

00:05:39.000 I mean, this is a massive lawsuit.

00:05:42.000 You've got a massive boycott.

00:05:43.000 X is being slammed by major advertisers to the tune of tens of millions of dollars.

00:05:47.000 But, you know, that's that story falls to second stage.

00:05:52.000 The top story right now is, far-right conspiracy theorist accused 22-year-old Jewish man of being a neo-Nazi, then Elon Musk got involved.

00:05:59.000 Aspiring lawyer sues Elon Musk.

00:06:01.000 Jewish student sues Elon Musk.

00:06:03.000 All of a sudden, all of these different outlets, a bunch of different outlets, start running a story instead.

00:06:09.000 That Elon Musk is being sued for... This is the crazy thing about this story.

00:06:15.000 Let me show you this.

00:06:16.000 CNN runs this.

00:06:19.000 This is last night at 10, 12 p.m.

00:06:21.000 It was updated.

00:06:22.000 That's a couple hours after he launches the story.

00:06:24.000 Now, news that this dude was suing Elon Musk is from, I believe, mid-October or early October.

00:06:31.000 Here's what they write.

00:06:32.000 Ben Brody says his life was going fine.

00:06:33.000 He had just finished college, stayed out of trouble, and was prepping for law school.

00:06:38.000 Then seemingly out of nowhere, Elon Musk uses his considerable social media clout to amplify an online mob's misguided rant accusing the 22-year-old from California of being an undercover agent in a neo-Nazi group.

00:06:49.000 That's completely false.

00:06:51.000 That's actually very, very false.

00:06:52.000 Elon Musk replied to someone vaguely referencing a guy who was in college and wanted to work for the government, and no one accused the individual of being an undercover agent in a neo-Nazi group.

00:07:03.000 They accused these people, all of them, of being undercover agents, period, in a fake Nazi group.

00:07:09.000 Now, whatever.

00:07:10.000 What I can say is, define coordinated, I suppose.

00:07:13.000 When a bunch of media outlets all run this story and it shoves down the big news and covers it up, it's kind of like every time, what was the thing that was happening every time Hunter Biden, you know, was caught doing something?

00:07:25.000 Aliens were proven to exist?

00:07:27.000 Yeah, I mean, just this week, an example of this is like, he launches the rocket, the spaceship, he gets up, the largest, Spacecraft in history makes the separation successfully and gets into space.

00:07:45.000 And I try to look up the news and it's all like Elon Musk fails with rocket because it blows up or, you know, lies.

00:07:53.000 Yeah, it's just it's just straight up faults.

00:07:55.000 It's one of the most successful moments in history.

00:07:58.000 And all the headlines are, he failed.

00:08:02.000 They're all lies.

00:08:02.000 This was the first launch, or it wasn't the first launch, SpaceX launched something a year ago or whatever.

00:08:09.000 Yeah.

00:08:09.000 All the media reports, shocking failure, rocket explodes.

00:08:13.000 SpaceX intentionally blew it up.

00:08:15.000 They were doing a launch to collect data.

00:08:18.000 So SpaceX launches Starship.

00:08:20.000 They did the exact same thing.

00:08:22.000 They launched it to collect data because they have to build a rocket.

00:08:25.000 How do you do it?

00:08:25.000 Well, you have to build prototypes, try them, see where they fail, collect the data, and then the safety measure is you blow them up.

00:08:33.000 And the media reports that he's a failure.

00:08:35.000 It's not working.

00:08:36.000 This is crazy.

00:08:37.000 And then at the same time, this whole entire anti-Semitic thing comes out.

00:08:40.000 Or they're covering his custody battle with Grimes a lot right now. 0.88

00:08:43.000 Yeah, it's just like a terrible immoral person.

00:08:46.000 The last time you had us here it was a Fabian Martin story about Sound of Freedom.

00:08:51.000 The financier of Sound of Freedom was a sex trafficker and it was a guy who was totally exonerated later on but he was all over the press and his face was everywhere and they were trying to take that film down.

00:09:03.000 It was also like one of a hundred thousand investors, I believe, wasn't it?

00:09:06.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:09:07.000 He was one of thousands of investors.

00:09:08.000 Like a landlord.

00:09:09.000 50 bucks.

00:09:10.000 Wow.

00:09:10.000 He gets accused of an accessory to kidnapping.

00:09:14.000 And then it got, the judge was like, I don't know how you're an accessory to kidnapping because there's no even charge for kidnapping.

00:09:23.000 But somebody went into the theater, screenshotted all the investor names, because that's the only place you can get them, then digitized them, then cross-checked them across all the local criminal databases to find one guy who had been accused of kidnapping.

00:09:39.000 And then the headline is, financier, $50 investor of thousands, of Sound of Freedom, arrested for kidnapping children.

00:09:49.000 I'm in London.

00:09:51.000 I have my angel shirt on.

00:09:52.000 I'm at the TSA security in London.

00:09:54.000 I don't know what they call it there.

00:09:56.000 And one of the security guys comes up and says, Oh, I have tickets to your movie.

00:09:59.000 And he's like, are you the producer?

00:10:00.000 And I was like, Oh no, I am not the producer.

00:10:03.000 I'm a distributor.

00:10:04.000 He's like, Oh good.

00:10:04.000 Because the producer apparently is like a kidnapping kids.

00:10:09.000 Well, now they're going after Tim Ballard with all these stories, which sound completely insane, but I gotta tell you, man.

00:10:16.000 But you get, like, what's happening here is very common.

00:10:20.000 So what did you do, personally, and what do you advise people to do when the media does run stuff like that?

00:10:26.000 There was a really wise, um, the, one of the executive producers on the, one of the films was coming up.

00:10:33.000 He's in his nineties, very successful businessman.

00:10:37.000 And he just called and said, guys, when the, when everybody's shooting at you, get in the foxhole or else you'll get shot.

00:10:45.000 Well, there you go.

00:10:46.000 So don't make noise, basically.

00:10:48.000 Just stay calm and keep working.

00:10:49.000 I don't know, though.

00:10:50.000 I don't know, though.

00:10:50.000 Look what the media does.

00:10:52.000 They say the best defense is a good offense.

00:10:56.000 When Elon Musk goes after Media Matters and is exposing what I believe expands the government collusion narrative in the censorship industrial complex.

00:11:03.000 We've got the releases from the Republican Party.

00:11:06.000 We know about the releases from the Twitter files.

00:11:08.000 Now Elon Musk is going after Media Matters.

00:11:10.000 And they're saying they have data, hard proof, that Media Matters fabricated the claims against them to try and get advertisers to pull out.

00:11:17.000 What does the media do?

00:11:18.000 Immediately launch a totally different story to attack Elon Musk to drown it out.

00:11:24.000 So I'm kind of wondering if perhaps in, you know, World War I-style trench combat, you're getting shot at, you get down.

00:11:31.000 That's a good point.

00:11:32.000 But perhaps in the world of PR and media, what Elon Musk needs to do is lay around another story immediately.

00:11:37.000 Now, the issue, of course, is Will the press even cover it?

00:11:41.000 Or will they let the search terms be accurate, right?

00:11:45.000 And here's the thing.

00:11:46.000 I think it's probably Google.

00:11:47.000 Look, why are people writing in this story?

00:11:49.000 I think it's very weird that CNN chose to write a month and a half old story and just publish it right now with vague and misleading language.

00:11:58.000 What do we call that?

00:11:58.000 We call that malinformation.

00:12:00.000 It's technically the truth, but it's not actually what's going on.

00:12:03.000 And then other outlets pick it up because this is what they do.

00:12:06.000 Google knows, put this on top.

00:12:09.000 So when it appears at the top of Google, when you search for Elon Musk, I think it's a big tech play.

00:12:14.000 And I think big tech is colluding with the government because we've already seen hard proof they've been doing it.

00:12:19.000 And or that the advertisers are coordinating and they all advertise on Alphabet and on whatever companies are posting this CNN and all these people are getting that same ad money that pulled out of Twitter and they're working.

00:12:31.000 I don't know if they're just bystanders in this or if they're...

00:12:34.000 I think it's difficult for people as an individual to combat the tech giants and especially anyone controlling a search engine if they want to.

00:12:43.000 I mean, I'm going to reference Taylor Swift.

00:12:45.000 I know you guys were all waiting for it.

00:12:46.000 But when she started dating Travis Kelce, she went to a New York Jets game.

00:12:51.000 Before that, when you Google Taylor Swift Jet, It talked about all these articles from two years before talking about her carbon footprint and how bad it was.

00:12:58.000 And people thought she has engineered this relationship to get to this game so it completely changes what shows up when you Google these terms.

00:13:04.000 I mean, the challenge here is that Elon Musk is now up against the people who want CNN's article to be at the front.

00:13:10.000 So even if he were able to get some big headline, he had sympathetic journalists take on his story, cover it accurately, it doesn't mean that the way the algorithms work out will be evenly applied to him.

00:13:22.000 Do you hear what I'm saying?

00:13:23.000 I think I like your metaphor about get down, duck and cover when the incoming enemy fire is happening and this is like when people are writing crappy articles about you like don't make noise because you're gonna look guilty.

00:13:33.000 But that's important why you have allies to fire on the position that's attacking your foxhole to lighten the fire so you crossfire.

00:13:39.000 That's right.

00:13:39.000 And that's our job, essentially, right now, is what we're doing, is we're exposing this weird algorithm.

00:13:45.000 These people are evil.

00:13:46.000 That's it.

00:13:47.000 I mean, Twitter and Facebook running backdoors, allowing the government to come in and basically get content removed.

00:13:52.000 It's unconstitutional.

00:13:53.000 This is like deep corruption.

00:13:55.000 Deep corruption.

00:13:56.000 It is pure corruption, and it is overt evil.

00:13:59.000 These people are doing it for personal gain.

00:14:02.000 That's just it, man.

00:14:02.000 We were talking about free speech.

00:14:04.000 I had interviewed Josie, the red-headed libertarian, today on my YouTube channel.

00:14:07.000 We were talking about free speech and how, like, the ability for a private company just to shut off a bunch of people's ability to communicate or the way certain aspects of my communication with you might not show up.

00:14:18.000 Like, that's... We wrote a constitution and fought a revolution to avoid that from happening.

00:14:22.000 We had the king pressing down on our necks collectively and disallowing us from speaking out in public.

00:14:27.000 No more, never again.

00:14:28.000 That was the point.

00:14:29.000 But this also happens with companies that control banks, right?

00:14:31.000 I mean, PayPal can say, I don't like what you're talking about online.

00:14:34.000 You can no longer use our service, which makes it actually difficult to do a lot of business interfacing.

00:14:38.000 This is true of MailChimp.

00:14:39.000 This is true of a ton of different companies that decide, we don't want to be associated with you because we have a vague term of service.

00:14:44.000 And that's like the next level, is when it's transactions, that is the next level.

00:14:49.000 Like, that's the deeper level below free speech.

00:14:52.000 That's the foundation.

00:14:53.000 If you don't have the freedom to transact, Then you're like, what can you do?

00:14:58.000 It's like the truckers in Canada.

00:15:00.000 They just shut them down.

00:15:03.000 I just think we're winning across the board in every way.

00:15:05.000 I mean, we got a super chat a moment ago and they were like, how could the Democrats even put someone else on the primary ballot because it's too late in several states?

00:15:12.000 Biden can't win.

00:15:13.000 The dude's completely out of his mind.

00:15:14.000 He's losing support among the Hollywood elites.

00:15:17.000 Michael Rapaport says he's going to vote for Trump, or he's considering voting for Trump.

00:15:20.000 I mean, this is crazy.

00:15:21.000 Elon Musk filing a lawsuit.

00:15:23.000 Everybody's going on offense.

00:15:25.000 And I can tell you this too, ladies and gentlemen, I can't say too much because in legal issues, you know, you got to keep things pretty quiet until you make your moves, but there is so much more happening behind the scenes.

00:15:37.000 Let's just, I'll just put it this way.

00:15:38.000 Many phone calls, many phone calls have been happening.

00:15:41.000 And there's a lot of prominent individuals who are like, this is war.

00:15:45.000 There was a post recently where someone suggested that any prominent influencer on Twitter should file an amicus brief or join the lawsuit Elon Musk is filing.

00:15:54.000 Because guess what everybody?

00:15:56.000 You know that money you were making on Twitter?

00:15:57.000 Oh wow.

00:15:58.000 It's gone.

00:15:59.000 It's all gone.

00:16:00.000 So when I was getting two to three thousand bucks every two weeks, maybe about five grand a month, gone.

00:16:05.000 So Media Matters did not just smear and defame Elon Musk's platform, but it's stripping revenue from everybody through fraudulent means.

00:16:14.000 So there's a lot, and there's a lot more than that.

00:16:17.000 Yeah, Media Matters is the worst.

00:16:18.000 We're still spending a lot with X. How's the engagement been?

00:16:23.000 It's great.

00:16:23.000 Well, this is interesting.

00:16:24.000 With Sound of Freedom, it was the first time that, and this is within months after, a very short time after Elon acquired Twitter, is that our main investors, GigaFund, That's invested in SpaceX, invested in a whole bunch of Elon companies.

00:16:42.000 They called us and they were like, hey, how can we improve the system?

00:16:46.000 So they're working very hard to improve the Twitter advertising system, and it's working.

00:16:55.000 Twitter has not had a competitive leg that even comes close to competing with Facebook for targeted ads and direct response.

00:17:04.000 Ever.

00:17:04.000 And now they're starting to compete.

00:17:07.000 Advertisers need to be aware it's worth taking time to invest in Twitter now.

00:17:12.000 Part of the reason why Sound of Freedom was successful was because Twitter figured out how to make ads work.

00:17:20.000 And they're getting better.

00:17:21.000 And they're getting better and better.

00:17:22.000 And so I think that Twitter just has to survive the dip.

00:17:27.000 And then they'll climb back out of it because they're actually innovating.

00:17:31.000 They're actually making changes and they're listening to the audience and the customers.

00:17:35.000 And so, uh, for us, we spend where it works.

00:17:39.000 And I, I think that, um, if we can do it, I mean, we're known Harmon brothers known for doing pooperies, squatty potty, purple mattress, Lumi deodorant, these billion dollar CPG companies and mattress companies.

00:17:53.000 And, I can tell you, Twitter is starting to figure it out.

00:18:02.000 We're going to be doing a big ad push in the beginning of next year.

00:18:05.000 We're already doing big ads for Infringed, our latest documentary, by Lauren Southern and John Du Toit.

00:18:11.000 And when they announced they were pulling out, it was Seth Dillon who started the cascade, saying we're going to commit 250K.

00:18:16.000 I said, I'm on board.

00:18:17.000 And it's just the easiest marketing play in the world.

00:18:21.000 Join in the fun, everybody.

00:18:23.000 By announcing we're doing an ad buy, we get 10 times the press from the ad buy.

00:18:28.000 So let me just stress, I want to buy ads on X. We did.

00:18:31.000 We were already buying ads.

00:18:34.000 We created a $50,000 budget for Infringed and launched that campaign.

00:18:38.000 And we are having some issues, so I need someone from Twitter's help.

00:18:42.000 We can make some connections.

00:18:44.000 Yeah, that'd be great.

00:18:45.000 Because, like, I don't know, something weird's happening in the back end, but I digress.

00:18:48.000 So when Seth Dillon's like, hey, we're gonna do this thing, I was like, well, we're already advertising on X. We already want to do more.

00:18:56.000 Let me just announce that I, too, will be doing this and join their efforts.

00:18:59.000 And then I get articles written about me, so standing up for what I believe in results in ten times the press we would have gotten just off the ad campaign alone.

00:18:59.000 That's exactly right.

00:19:07.000 The tweet announcing the ad campaign got 7,000 retweets.

00:19:10.000 So it's just the marketing rights itself.

00:19:13.000 This idea I had a long time ago, marketing should do something good.

00:19:18.000 It reminds me of that movie Hancock, where Jason Bateman's character is like, everyone puts the heart on their brand. 0.96

00:19:24.000 I'm like, well, that's kind of dumb.

00:19:25.000 My idea was, companies should compete with how much they can accomplish. 0.96

00:19:29.000 Ideologically, in alignment with their values.

00:19:33.000 So, for instance, instead of spending $50 million doing this nationwide campaign where you hire a celebrity to throw a football, you spend $50 million investing in roads, schools, or helping veterans or non-profits, and then instead of doing this big commercial where a celebrity throws a football, you just do a commercial where it's a guy standing in front of a VA saying, instead of spending $50 million on throwing a football, we just gave it to wounded veterans to help those And I'm like, that's the kind of marketing we should be doing, competing with each other to do the most good.

00:20:03.000 So I'm like, if I can buy ads to promote TimCast.com and the projects we're doing, and it has the added benefit of winning the culture war, man, I'll spend all my money.

00:20:12.000 Let's just, let's roll.

00:20:13.000 Let's get it done.

00:20:14.000 Mr. Beast, he'll actually take cameras in and show the people crying with joy from tasting fresh water for the first time in their lives and things.

00:20:21.000 And you may argue it's exploiting the people that are getting the video taken of them.

00:20:25.000 It's giving away wells.

00:20:26.000 And they attacked him for it!

00:20:28.000 The media came after him!

00:20:29.000 Well, he's an oppressive figure trying to help people.

00:20:32.000 I can guarantee he's anything but, and you should watch his video where he brings 100 wells to people that are starving of fresh water, essentially.

00:20:32.000 It's crazy.

00:20:40.000 Dying, you know, having distended stomachs and these little kids.

00:20:43.000 This fly is driving me nuts.

00:20:44.000 Are you guys watching?

00:20:45.000 He's attacking everybody!

00:20:46.000 Anyone that starts to talk, it's like, I feel the heat.

00:20:48.000 It goes straight to the speaker.

00:20:53.000 I just swatted and didn't squeeze.

00:20:55.000 I had, like, some sympathy for the thing.

00:20:57.000 What if we just open the door and cross our fingers that he leaves you?

00:21:00.000 Yeah, I'll do that.

00:21:00.000 There you go.

00:21:01.000 Yeah, the fly's attacking everybody.

00:21:03.000 Fun while it lasted, fly.

00:21:05.000 Well, he's gone.

00:21:05.000 Buzz off.

00:21:06.000 What were you saying, Ian?

00:21:07.000 Some awesome thing.

00:21:08.000 Oh, about Mr. Beast.

00:21:10.000 He was just showing video of these kids, and I mean, if you've ever spent time with kids in an impoverished nation, and you see them, the kids that drink poop water, basically the same river water that they drink out of, they poop into.

00:21:20.000 It's sad, because their stomachs are fat and bloated.

00:21:22.000 I saw it in South America when I was in Peru, and it was... They're so happy people, because they don't know.

00:21:27.000 They didn't know. 0.83

00:21:28.000 But once they found out, they were f***ing livid.

00:21:30.000 And it's just to be able to help people, children especially, I want to jump to this story before we get into movie stuff.

00:21:38.000 We got this from the Hollywood Report.

00:21:39.000 We got a couple stories actually.

00:21:40.000 Melissa Barrera dropped from Scream 7 after social media posts amid Israel-Hamas war.

00:21:45.000 This is really funny.

00:21:47.000 She led both 2022 Scream and the sixth installment released earlier this year.

00:21:53.000 She basically said it's genocide, it's ethnic cleansing.

00:21:56.000 Gaza is currently being treated like a concentration camp.

00:21:59.000 Spyglass, the company behind the Scream franchise, had no comment.

00:22:03.000 And they gave her the boot. 0.97

00:22:05.000 We also got this from sdnr.com.

00:22:08.000 Susan Sarandon dropped by talent agency for anti-semitic comment.

00:22:12.000 She's getting roasted heavily after she was at a rally and she made a bunch of comments. 0.99

00:22:17.000 Pro-Palestinian rally.

00:22:18.000 And then I think we have another one here.

00:22:21.000 This one's not as important as the Hollywood celebrities.

00:22:24.000 United Airlines pilot removed from service over pro-Hamas posts.

00:22:29.000 So...

00:22:30.000 Keeping it, you know, I wanted to highlight that in terms of the cancel culture.

00:22:33.000 I don't agree with these people being fired for having bad opinions.

00:22:37.000 I also don't care. 0.99

00:22:38.000 I'm not going to come to their defense, and I'm just gonna laugh as the door hits their ass on the way out. 0.99

00:22:43.000 Because too many of these people absolutely are anti-free speech. 0.99

00:22:47.000 Too many of these people in New York, these far-left groups, have been waging a war on free speech.

00:22:51.000 But that being said, I do think we should be careful.

00:22:55.000 And maybe this Melissa Barrera, I don't know what she's all about, maybe she believes in free speech. 0.99

00:22:59.000 So I'm going to look into them, and if they're in favor of free speech, I'll defend their free speech.

00:23:03.000 If not, sorry.

00:23:05.000 But what we're seeing is, look, the old guard is in free fall.

00:23:10.000 Hollywood, the actors, they're split where their talent are ideologically at odds with their institutions.

00:23:18.000 And I'm not going to sit here and tell you who's right or who's wrong.

00:23:20.000 We can have a Palestine-Israel discussion later.

00:23:22.000 I'm just pointing out They're starting to fire people.

00:23:25.000 The industry is not doing so well.

00:23:27.000 In the meantime...

00:23:29.000 Seems like independent media is just skyrocketing.

00:23:34.000 I mean, a few years ago, if I would have talked about The Sound of Freedom, people would not have believed me.

00:23:37.000 If I would have said, there's gonna be a new studio, they're gonna launch a movie, it's gonna defy all expectations, crack into the top of the box office, what is that, $200 million?

00:23:47.000 $250 million!

00:23:47.000 $250.

00:23:49.000 People would be like, what?

00:23:50.000 Dude, you can't beat Hollywood.

00:23:51.000 And now Hollywood's dying.

00:23:53.000 I mean, billion dollar loss for Disney?

00:23:56.000 How you guys doing?

00:23:57.000 Is Sound of Freedom still in theaters?

00:24:00.000 It is around the world.

00:24:02.000 It is throughout the world, but in the U.S., we just had the last day in the theaters.

00:24:06.000 It was last Friday or Thursday?

00:24:08.000 Yeah.

00:24:09.000 Anyway, it went for like 127 days in the U.S.

00:24:10.000 theaters.

00:24:12.000 It's on my uh it's on Amazon.

00:24:14.000 Yes.

00:24:15.000 When what new releases it's like the second one right there.

00:24:17.000 Yeah it was the in the top 25 most pre-ordered movies of all time on Apple.

00:24:22.000 It's amazing.

00:24:24.000 I mean it is you can really see a shift in uh focus and groups that once had a very tight camaraderie are now splitting apart.

00:24:31.000 There's this poll from Gallup that came out I think today saying that Biden has lost 11 points in support in one

00:24:37.000 month among Democrats, among people who would theoretically be completely behind him. So if you can see

00:24:42.000 it shifting in the political discourse, it's obviously happening in the cultural discourse. There's

00:24:46.000 going to be follow up in the fact that people look at each other and say, I won't, I won't even

00:24:50.000 talk to you. I won't work with you.

00:24:51.000 I cannot be around you if you express these opinions. That's crazy. I think the kids,

00:24:55.000 people that just see things for what they are, are like the diversity for the sake of diversity.

00:25:01.000 It was tried in like 2021 pretty heavily.

00:25:05.000 And then it was obvious that if you're not casting the best person, regardless of what they look like, you're not making the best movie.

00:25:12.000 I mean, looks are somewhat important, but I think talent seeps through.

00:25:14.000 You see it in the eyeballs.

00:25:15.000 Yeah.

00:25:16.000 The best person for the character, whatever that means.

00:25:18.000 So, and now it's becoming obvious and it's showing in the budgets, like Disney just launched the worst Marvel movie of all time.

00:25:24.000 That's right.

00:25:25.000 Financially.

00:25:26.000 And they did really poor in the movie before that.

00:25:28.000 Like, let's think about this.

00:25:30.000 It's a good point.

00:25:31.000 The Marvels, right?

00:25:32.000 It's the MCU.

00:25:33.000 It's got three female leads and a female villain lead.

00:25:39.000 What was their budget?

00:25:41.000 $300 million, I think.

00:25:42.000 And it hits the opening weekend with $46.1 million, the lowest box office of all time.

00:25:48.000 Now, I assume it'll make some money somehow, but I kind of feel like this one's dead in the water.

00:25:54.000 It is crazy to see the behemoth of the MCU decide to get woke and then go broke.

00:25:58.000 Well, Nate, was it the reviewer, the drunk reviewer, what's his name, drinking?

00:26:08.000 I hope it ain't just the drunk reviewer, that's way better.

00:26:11.000 Australian dude? 0.79

00:26:14.000 The drunken Aussie movie?

00:26:15.000 Yeah, I know who you're talking about.

00:26:16.000 He's a reviewer, I know who I'm talking about.

00:26:17.000 Sorry, it doesn't matter.

00:26:19.000 Chad will figure it out.

00:26:20.000 He was saying that Disney was required by contract to make this movie.

00:26:25.000 Critical Drinker.

00:26:26.000 Yeah, Critical Drinker.

00:26:27.000 They were required by contract to make this movie?

00:26:29.000 Yeah, they didn't have a choice.

00:26:31.000 They signed an agreement to make this movie a long time ago, and they tried to wiggle out, and they tried to get out, and they were forced, basically, through their contracts to finish it out.

00:26:42.000 And he's like, and it shows, there's no passion.

00:26:44.000 Oh, it's the shortest movie they've done.

00:26:47.000 People are mentioning that it really looked like they were just trying to get rid of it.

00:26:50.000 Yeah, because they had to, they had to make it.

00:26:51.000 They signed the agreements a long time ago.

00:26:52.000 You know what I think happened?

00:26:54.000 I think, uh, early, uh, this is maybe like eight years ago.

00:26:58.000 Man, it's been that long.

00:26:59.000 Like when they were doing Avengers Infinity War, they needed to get Brie Larson in it because they were like, Captain Marvel will be the new Iron Man.

00:27:06.000 Yeah.

00:27:06.000 And so she signed a deal for so many films.

00:27:08.000 And then she appears in a bunch of commercials.

00:27:11.000 Everyone despises her.

00:27:12.000 She's snooty. 1.00

00:27:13.000 She's mean. 0.98

00:27:14.000 She goes on social media and she posts really awful, nasty stuff. 0.61

00:27:17.000 And then they're just like, we need to get rid of her.

00:27:21.000 And she's cost them so much money.

00:27:22.000 Here's the funny thing.

00:27:23.000 Cancel culture, right?

00:27:24.000 They're firing these actors and actresses. 1.00

00:27:26.000 And you know why they're doing it?

00:27:27.000 Because they're like, we are going to lose so much money because this woman went on Twitter and started Calling Israel genociders and all this stuff.

00:27:35.000 Again, not here to make an argument about Israel-Palestine.

00:27:38.000 They're looking at how much money they're going to lose because of it, and I get it.

00:27:42.000 And that's a tough issue, but understand this.

00:27:47.000 Just the other day, we had Danny Palaszczuk on.

00:27:50.000 He made the excellent joke of, as soon as Elon Musk bought Twitter, everybody just went, There are two genders. 0.96

00:28:00.000 It's funny because if you really think about it, isn't it absolutely insane that before Elon acquired Twitter, If you said, men are not women, you would get banned.

00:28:13.000 No question.

00:28:13.000 Megan Murphy, she's a writer and activist.

00:28:16.000 She tweeted, men aren't women though. 1.00

00:28:18.000 She didn't insult anybody. 0.90

00:28:19.000 They banned her. 1.00

00:28:21.000 For four years she was banned.

00:28:22.000 Until finally, I think it was because of Elon Musk, she gets brought back.

00:28:25.000 We actually lived in that world where you could not go on a major social media platform and say, boys are boys and girls are girls.

00:28:31.000 But now, where are we?

00:28:33.000 Well, what was happening back then is companies were genuinely terrified.

00:28:37.000 Dave Rubin had... I don't think Sound of Freedom would have been as successful as... I don't think it would have hit terminal... I'm sorry, Xscape Velocity without Twitter.

00:28:45.000 They would have suspended you guys in two seconds.

00:28:47.000 They would have made up a reason.

00:28:48.000 Right.

00:28:48.000 We could have brute forced ourselves maybe to 80 million just through marketing.

00:28:53.000 But the amount that it takes to get up to 250 million requires you to hit escape velocity.

00:28:59.000 And without Twitter, Twitter was the only social platform where we were trending number one after it launched over and over and over again.

00:29:06.000 All the rest of them, just not there.

00:29:08.000 Did you have a plan for Twitter when you were launching?

00:29:10.000 Like, did you go in knowing that Twitter was gonna be a resource or was that organic?

00:29:14.000 Yeah, we actually, that is why we got into advertising on Twitter is because now Elon owned Twitter and we were like, we can actually trust they're not gonna mess with this movement.

00:29:25.000 We could see when we were advertising the Sound of Freedom trailer, because of our advertising career, like the number, for the views and the number of shares, That the videos got and the amount of activity, it just didn't match.

00:29:41.000 Like nobody would comment, nobody would like, but they were being shared like crazy.

00:29:45.000 So you post your video, people resharing it like extremely high rate, super viral trailer on Facebook.

00:29:54.000 The second generation shares have no comments.

00:29:57.000 You can just go through.

00:29:58.000 They're fake.

00:29:59.000 So the first one, no, no, they're sharing.

00:30:01.000 Everybody's sharing it, but they're sharing it into the void.

00:30:03.000 Right, right.

00:30:04.000 They think I'm just sharing the video, I'm excited I shared it and then no one sees it.

00:30:09.000 No one comments on it and so the reshares, the second generation is where the trick happens on these other social platforms is you post it and a whole bunch of people reshare it and you go, oh my video is doing really well.

00:30:09.000 Right.

00:30:23.000 But then you go dig into the reshares and they're not getting comments, they're not getting any engagement.

00:30:28.000 They die.

00:30:29.000 I think that Facebook should alter their advertising scheme so that if you share an advertised post, it's still going to get advertising pressure on your reshare.

00:30:37.000 Yes, I agree with that.

00:30:38.000 Yeah, reshare should should be promoted.

00:30:41.000 So with with X.

00:30:45.000 I think, let me go back in time actually.

00:30:48.000 I knew these guys that were investigating advertising systems on big tech companies and they were saying at least half of all of the buys, purchases are fake.

00:30:58.000 When you say I'm going to put $1,000 in ads towards this video and then you get, let's say, you know, 100,000 views, 50,000 are fake.

00:31:07.000 Fabricated.

00:31:08.000 And so what Elon Musk is... They're just bots.

00:31:10.000 They're just bots.

00:31:11.000 Yeah.

00:31:11.000 And so this is great for the big tech companies.

00:31:13.000 That makes sense with the performance before.

00:31:15.000 Exactly.

00:31:15.000 But here's what happens.

00:31:16.000 Because it was awful performance.

00:31:17.000 You couldn't... It was like brand marketing on Twitter.

00:31:19.000 That was the only way to do it.

00:31:20.000 But then Elon Musk changes everything.

00:31:22.000 And he says, you have to... Ads are only going to appear on verified accounts.

00:31:27.000 Only count against verified user views.

00:31:29.000 Smartest thing.

00:31:30.000 And no one really talks about it.

00:31:32.000 Exactly.

00:31:32.000 It's working.

00:31:33.000 What Elon Musk was saying to these advertisers is, listen, If you spend $100,000 on that platform, how do you know you're getting real people?

00:31:42.000 With us on Twitter, users only get ads.

00:31:46.000 Ads only display against verified accounts.

00:31:49.000 And so the money is only spent if verified individuals with check marks see the ad.

00:31:49.000 So smart.

00:31:55.000 So now, when you spend $1,000 and you get 10,000 views, oh, it's so much less.

00:32:00.000 It's real people.

00:32:00.000 So what?

00:32:01.000 You'll see your conversions go up.

00:32:03.000 Yep.

00:32:03.000 That's huge.

00:32:04.000 I wanted to kind of talk a little bit more about Disney and about how the problems that they've been having.

00:32:11.000 We were saying that people are being fired from movies, or I don't know if those Disney movies, but because of their talks about Hamas or Israel or whatever.

00:32:18.000 I'm also concerned that big production companies, Paramount, I don't know, call them out by name if it even matters, but they have large institutional investors.

00:32:27.000 I don't know if you guys do too.

00:32:29.000 I know that Angels are like 100,000 people that all fund the programs together.

00:32:33.000 It's a mixture.

00:32:34.000 A mixture, okay, because if- Crowd and institutional.

00:32:36.000 If one big institutional guy is like, listen, my family's in Israel and I want only pro-Israel movies and propaganda out there right now, and full stop.

00:32:45.000 Then they're going to pull all their money from a company that's trying to make a movie with an actor that's crapping on Israel, potentially.

00:32:51.000 And so these investors are deciding the creative flow of the movie industry in that sense, or that industry, and that's a fail, man.

00:32:58.000 If you can't be as creative as you want with your best actors and your craziest ideas, good luck.

00:33:02.000 How can you compete with people that are doing that?

00:33:04.000 So how do you guys work with the institutional, to not get co-opted by the institutional investments?

00:33:09.000 So the only way to get through ANGEL is through the ANGEL Guild.

00:33:12.000 So those 100,000 people, Jeffrey's the Chief Content Officer.

00:33:16.000 If he loved your show, Ian, that you were sharing with us, he can't take it there unless the ANGEL Guild sees it first.

00:33:24.000 And they can see Whether something has a problem.

00:33:29.000 That's what the wisdom of crowds is.

00:33:32.000 Sound of Freedom was watched by 30 plus million people worldwide in theaters because a thousand Guild members, Angel Guild members, voted for that show.

00:33:42.000 Yep.

00:33:43.000 Wow.

00:33:43.000 So, like, if a movie got made with an actor that was making these comments about Hamas or something, and then, but the angel investor, if the guild was like, we still love it, put it through, there's some dissent, are there investors that, once it gets through, they're like, I'm not going to put money on that one?

00:33:58.000 Is that part of the process?

00:33:59.000 They have a choice.

00:34:00.000 They have a choice whether they want to invest in a project for sure.

00:34:03.000 Yeah, it doesn't guarantee that we'll be able to get the film Uh, to do a partnership with the film.

00:34:09.000 Like there's still a lot of things that happen at have to happen after the guild, but we cannot take a film into angel studios until it passes the guild.

00:34:19.000 And they, so there's a hundred thousand people they've invested in different projects.

00:34:22.000 They can, they go on, they, they, they, they become members of the guild.

00:34:27.000 And then you get to, as a member of the guild, you get to vote on the stuff that goes to theaters, vote on the stuff that goes on the platform.

00:34:33.000 And if you don't pass it, it doesn't come on angel.

00:34:35.000 And is that the threshold, a thousand people?

00:34:37.000 You said a thousand people?

00:34:38.000 A thousand is like, statistical significance.

00:34:40.000 Yeah, statistical significance of the audience.

00:34:43.000 Yeah, and so you'll have, you know, a few hundred to a thousand people watching each movie.

00:34:48.000 There's 21 movies submitted a week right now to Angel Studios on average.

00:34:52.000 21 movies a week.

00:34:53.000 There's a hundred plus thousand people going through these movies voting, then they decide what comes in.

00:34:59.000 And then as a guild member, when you become a member of the guild, it's like an Amazon prime membership or a Costco membership.

00:35:05.000 You get perks, like you get complimentary tickets to every single movie.

00:35:09.000 Cause you're an angel executive.

00:35:11.000 Like what?

00:35:13.000 I was going to say, I like this idea.

00:35:14.000 Ian's concern is one guy can be like, I'm shutting your movie down because I don't like what that person said.

00:35:20.000 That's impossible.

00:35:22.000 I may disagree with these people cheering Hamas or being critical of Israel to varying degrees, but I do think they have a right to speak their mind and it is shocking when a studio says they're going to shut them down.

00:35:22.000 Exactly.

00:35:34.000 So I like the idea that with you guys, one person can't just do it.

00:35:37.000 It has to be a community effort.

00:35:39.000 So, think about it this way.

00:35:40.000 If you get a lead actor in a film, and then he comes out, you know, to do press for it, and says a whole bunch of nasty, awful, like, really shockingly offensive stuff, and then the community says, we don't want to go forward with this project, that would end the project?

00:35:54.000 That would.

00:35:54.000 That's what.

00:35:55.000 I think that's the way to do it.

00:35:56.000 I'll tell you why.

00:35:57.000 Not all speech is socially acceptable.

00:36:01.000 If there was a guy who went out and started demanding that schools start giving these books to kids, I'm pretty sure a lot of people would be like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:36:09.000 Like, this is not someone we want to support, right?

00:36:11.000 That crosses a line for something we don't want.

00:36:13.000 By all means, he can go do his own thing, but we're not going to greenlight it.

00:36:16.000 However, It's not one guy.

00:36:19.000 It's a large community that has to come to a statistically significant decision amongst themselves.

00:36:25.000 Is there ever a decentralization?

00:36:27.000 Is there a cap on individual investors so that one guy can't come in with a hundred million and be like, I want to... Yeah.

00:36:32.000 So the last investment, I think the cap was...

00:36:35.000 10?

00:36:35.000 Or is it 15 last time?

00:36:37.000 I don't know.

00:36:39.000 $15,000.

00:36:39.000 I don't remember the last one.

00:36:40.000 Oh, that's very small.

00:36:41.000 I thought you were going to say $15 million.

00:36:41.000 $15,000.

00:36:43.000 No, no.

00:36:46.000 Now the film was made with bigger investors, but once it passed the Guild, and then it took on P&A money, which is the way it did the crowd money.

00:36:54.000 What's P&A?

00:36:54.000 It's prints and advertising.

00:36:55.000 So back in the day, When you, prints meant you print out a reel of film and ship it to every single theater so that they can play it on their projectors.

00:37:06.000 Prints, and then you print out the movie posters.

00:37:09.000 Those were the prints that cost a lot of money just to get those out to the world.

00:37:12.000 And then advertising is how you promote and make awareness around the film.

00:37:15.000 So currently like prints are like, a lot of them are done over satellite and a lot of them are done with little hard drives.

00:37:23.000 You still mail the hard drives?

00:37:24.000 Yeah, to a lot of them.

00:37:25.000 Is that just old guard, like, not figuring out they can email it yet?

00:37:28.000 Yeah, they don't have great internet maybe.

00:37:30.000 Or their projectors aren't connected to the internet.

00:37:33.000 These are multi-terabyte movies.

00:37:35.000 These are multi-terabyte movies.

00:37:36.000 You have to have really good internet in order to bring down that level of a film.

00:37:42.000 So prints and advertising are the prints or the printing out the posters and that stuff and then advertising and the crowd invests in prints and advertising.

00:37:50.000 They did it for Sound of Freedom.

00:37:51.000 They put five million dollars to get Sound of Freedom out to the theaters.

00:37:55.000 They put it into After Death.

00:37:57.000 They put it into His Only Son.

00:37:58.000 They put it in The Shift, which is coming out on December 1st.

00:38:01.000 And there's thousands of people helping these movies get off the ground and they become angel investors.

00:38:07.000 And then once you become an angel investor, you become part of the guild and you get a vote on the next content that comes in and you're replacing the gatekeeper model, the old gatekeeper model.

00:38:17.000 And you're right, Ian.

00:38:18.000 No, go ahead.

00:38:21.000 In the traditional system, one studio would cut the check for P&A and they get to decide.

00:38:26.000 And in this one, we want as many checks as possible because all those people, they're part of the audience, they want to be part of shaping the culture.

00:38:35.000 They're going to drag all their friends out to the movie, all their relatives, everybody they can get.

00:38:40.000 I think an important distinction, you know, in the idea of cancel culture.

00:38:44.000 Cancel culture was basically they would dig into your past, find something you said 10 years ago that either is no longer culturally relevant or now is considered unacceptable and use that to destroy your life.

00:38:53.000 Or in the most egregious example, this race car driver's dad dropped a racial slur in the 80s before he was born, so a sponsor dropped him because of it.

00:39:02.000 I'm like, that's insane.

00:39:04.000 But let's be real.

00:39:05.000 You know, we had that woman on Culture War and she said I was pro-censorship because I said I don't want these adult books in grade schools and I'm like, yes, next question.

00:39:16.000 No question whatsoever.

00:39:18.000 It's not this idea that we think everyone should be able to say literally anything in our private spaces or in our industry or that we have to invest in it.

00:39:26.000 Freedom of speech means You can live your life without government interference.

00:39:30.000 And opposing cancel culture, first and foremost, has to do with our moral basic lines, right? 0.84

00:39:35.000 So what happens is the woke left comes out and says, oh, we've hereby decided that this thing is no longer acceptable socially, and you're gonna lose your job because of it.

00:39:43.000 Or talking with this person is no longer socially acceptable.

00:39:46.000 And we're like, dude, dude, dude, what are you doing firing this person over this stuff?

00:39:50.000 These people are saying things that aren't even that offensive.

00:39:52.000 Men aren't women, though? 1.00

00:39:53.000 And Meghan Murphy gets banned from Twitter for that? 0.99

00:39:56.000 That's ridiculous!

00:39:57.000 Now, if someone went on Twitter and literally was advocating for violence or terror or genocide, then we might be like, well, okay, well, now we're getting into dangerous territory. 0.92

00:40:06.000 As for, like, the calls for extreme violence, we've actually had a great conversation on this show about the limits of it.

00:40:13.000 If someone is speaking generally about war and conflict and targeting different groups, we kind of shrug.

00:40:18.000 We're like, look, when they call for death to Russians, Facebook allows that. 1.00

00:40:23.000 Now, if someone goes on Twitter and just tells people to, like, as Ian puts it, imminent threat targeting a group of people, then we say, okay, that's crossing the line.

00:40:30.000 But my view is this.

00:40:31.000 We shouldn't tolerate extremist opinions.

00:40:34.000 Like, we shouldn't have to pay for them and fund them.

00:40:37.000 I think we can allow and agree with on social media platforms a wide range of opinions that we disagree with and don't like to challenge, but there's absolutely a red line for all of us where we're like, nah, like, This is too much.

00:40:50.000 And it's like advocating children be exposed to adult content, things like that, probably crossing the line.

00:40:56.000 But the other thing I'll mention, too, is I'm not here to be the arbiter of morality and tell you where a system like Twitter should determine, or X, where people can and can't say things.

00:41:05.000 My attitude will typically be, let the crazy people say the crazy things so we can know they're saying it.

00:41:10.000 That being said, If an actor came out and was advocating for a whole bunch of really nasty stuff, like getting, you know, grooming kids and things like that, I certainly would not want to be involved in a project with them.

00:41:20.000 And I think that's fair that people would say no to it.

00:41:22.000 The big difference is, we're taking back the Overton window, where the left said that saying something like, we should have immigration controls.

00:41:30.000 Oh, you're cancelled, you're fired.

00:41:32.000 That's what's crazy.

00:41:33.000 That's a reasonable thing to say.

00:41:35.000 Yeah, I think it is.

00:41:36.000 I mean, I think part of the desire to push the window so far is to obscure the idea of what's right and what's wrong.

00:41:43.000 I think there are a lot of people who I wouldn't agree with politically who would also say, no, I don't want children exposed to sexual content at a young age or inappropriately.

00:41:52.000 But there is another narrative, especially on the progressive left, that says, oh, well, maybe you're oppressing someone by saying those urges are bad or condemning them.

00:42:00.000 They want there to be no hard line, no.

00:42:03.000 And I think they want you to feel more okay with compromising your values.

00:42:07.000 And that's very, there's no way to maintain a culture if that's also the energy that you're putting out.

00:42:13.000 When I first went to college, one of my friends, her dad, said, you can go to college and keep an open mind, but not so open that your brains fall out.

00:42:23.000 That's a good way of putting it.

00:42:25.000 We gotta jump to this story, because ladies and gentlemen, we're winning.

00:42:28.000 From Naples News, Comedian Matt Reif sparks controversy with joke in Netflix special.

00:42:34.000 Is he performing in Florida?

00:42:36.000 Well, I chose this local news outlet for a reason, mostly because it just documents the controversy around Comedian Matt Reif.

00:42:42.000 He had a Netflix special where he appeared to mock domestic violence victims.

00:42:48.000 How dare he?

00:42:49.000 I really, really don't care that he did.

00:42:50.000 And here's the best part.

00:42:52.000 Here's from NBC News.

00:42:53.000 Comedian Matt Reif responds to Netflix special Backlash with a link to special needs helmets.

00:43:00.000 He made a post and said, for everybody who was offended by my joke, here's a link to my apology.

00:43:07.000 And when you clicked it, it loaded up, I wonder if they have an image of it, I don't think they do, it loaded up a shopping website for special needs helmets for people who are, you know, differently abled, as it were.

00:43:16.000 Get him, dude.

00:43:17.000 I'm just saying, shout out to this comedian, but we're starting to win back.

00:43:21.000 See, this is the point about cancel culture. 0.73

00:43:23.000 I have almost, I would say, almost no problem with the limiting of certain speech.

00:43:30.000 I say almost because we try to be very careful.

00:43:32.000 We want to make sure people have the right to express themselves legitimately, but, you know, like people posting adult content is not legitimate expression for, it's obscene for kids.

00:43:41.000 I think it's fair to say that we're going to be like, no way.

00:43:43.000 This dude made a joke.

00:43:45.000 That's it.

00:43:46.000 Grow up.

00:43:46.000 Have a nice day.

00:43:47.000 Laugh or don't.

00:43:49.000 Five years ago, this dude would have been fired in two seconds.

00:43:53.000 Look at, was it Shane Gillis?

00:43:54.000 Was that the comedian?

00:43:55.000 Yeah, Shane got fired from SNL, like, within a month of getting hired or something.

00:43:59.000 He did, like, an accent or something?

00:44:00.000 No, he had done a joke in the past, like, it was, like, years ago, prior, on, like, an open mic or something like that, where he made fun of Asian-Americans, and he said that a little bit.

00:44:07.000 Right, right, right.

00:44:08.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:44:09.000 He did an accent.

00:44:09.000 He's a great impressionist, by the way.

00:44:11.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:44:12.000 And as an Asian-American myself, I thought it was hilarious.

00:44:15.000 And they fired him because of it.

00:44:16.000 Yep, correct.

00:44:16.000 We're winning.

00:44:18.000 This story shows we're winning.

00:44:19.000 It's not just about the culture that's being built.

00:44:22.000 It's about it.

00:44:23.000 This dude's 28, and he's got a Netflix special, and he's like, don't like my joke?

00:44:27.000 I'm gonna double down and insult you even further.

00:44:29.000 Well, and they, I mean, Bill Barr had this joke for a long time about, you know, Bill Barr.

00:44:34.000 Bill Burr, sorry.

00:44:35.000 I don't know if Bill Barr has ever had a joke like that, but Bill Burr has had this joke where he says, you know, You know, they always say there's never a reason to hit a woman, but, you know, is that true? 1.00

00:44:45.000 You could wake me from a drunken stupor and I could give you at least 10 or something like that.

00:44:49.000 Like, that's like alluding to domestic violence, but people laugh.

00:44:53.000 I think he did this joke on some, you know, mainstream late-night show.

00:44:58.000 And so it's interesting how it was something people tolerated and now they're like, new young comedian, you have to fall in line or stop.

00:45:05.000 It sounds like the crowd is flailing and they're like, whoa, my anger that's left over from five years ago, stop!

00:45:11.000 And then he knows, Matt Reif knows, if he gets fired, he's good to go.

00:45:15.000 Like look at Shane Gillis, his career is off the charts right now.

00:45:17.000 He's interfacing with Rogan.

00:45:19.000 Matt Reif's already been on Rogan's podcast once.

00:45:21.000 Oh, we have defeated... the woke beast is flailing.

00:45:27.000 Cancel culture is dying.

00:45:29.000 We are succeeding across the board.

00:45:31.000 Hollywood is failing.

00:45:32.000 Cable network news is failing.

00:45:34.000 The corporate press is struggling.

00:45:36.000 Elon Musk has launched this nuclear lawsuit against Media Matters.

00:45:40.000 Truth Social has just sued 20 news organizations.

00:45:43.000 The amount of victories and the expansion of our efforts is just so tremendous right now.

00:45:49.000 Ladies and gentlemen, you've got a lot to be thankful for this Thursday.

00:45:52.000 Although stay concerned because it's like they have the power, and I say they kind of vaguely, but to turn off your money.

00:45:59.000 So the whole system is rigged up so that Visa, the central banks, can shut off your access to a bank account and no more US dollars for you.

00:46:07.000 That's like their atom bomb in the pocket. 0.79

00:46:09.000 So we don't want to celebrate like we've won a war or any kind of long-standing... I mean, I think cryptocurrency is fascinating that we have other ways.

00:46:16.000 Bitcoin.

00:46:17.000 Particularly Bitcoin.

00:46:18.000 I mean, I like a lot of just the idea of being able to But you guys only like Bitcoin?

00:46:23.000 I'm a bit of a Bitcoin maxi.

00:46:25.000 A lot of my friends are too.

00:46:27.000 I started in Bitcoin in 2013, then bought in, and then we made a documentary film called Life on Bitcoin where this married couple, you can read it on Amazon and stuff, but this couple lives on Bitcoin for 90 days, the first 90 days of their marriage, only Bitcoin in 2013.

00:46:43.000 And then we got into Ethereum and other... Litecoin.

00:46:47.000 Litecoin and all the other coins, and I was like, I was thinking about it like a technology, where I was like, number two is Facebook, or number, Google came after Microsoft, et cetera, so the better technology's gonna win.

00:46:59.000 And then by a couple years ago, maybe a few years ago, I started thinking about it more like an economist, where I'm thinking about hard money and what it actually means, and what Bitcoin does well is money.

00:47:10.000 That is the one thing it does well and it does it better than any of the other crypto currencies.

00:47:15.000 Bitcoin is the money.

00:47:16.000 It's the best at it.

00:47:18.000 And I switched back.

00:47:19.000 And we can take a look at El Salvador.

00:47:22.000 And it's just like booming, booming, booming, booming.

00:47:25.000 It's amazing.

00:47:26.000 I'm just... Boo Kelly brought us down for Sound of Freedom and did like... He's the first Latin American country to... and he screened it.

00:47:32.000 Dude, he knows what's up.

00:47:34.000 That dude's amazing.

00:47:35.000 Yeah.

00:47:35.000 And here's a crazy story for you guys.

00:47:37.000 You're gonna love this one.

00:47:38.000 There was an illegal immigrant in the United States who applied for asylum claiming that he was facing persecution in his home country.

00:47:47.000 His home country was El Salvador.

00:47:49.000 The persecution?

00:47:50.000 He was a gang member that was gonna go to jail.

00:47:53.000 So he comes to the U.S.

00:47:54.000 to get this.

00:47:54.000 They release him.

00:47:55.000 And then later we're like, wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:47:57.000 What was the persecution?

00:47:58.000 Oh, he's a gang member wanted for crimes?

00:48:01.000 Okay, we gotta arrest him now.

00:48:02.000 That's how crazy things are up here.

00:48:04.000 That a guy was like, they're gonna arrest me for my group affiliation.

00:48:07.000 What's your group?

00:48:08.000 I'm a gang member.

00:48:10.000 It's going to be so great, Thanksgiving.

00:48:11.000 was like, Okay, that makes sense. Yeah. They didn't even either they didn't ask or they asked the real like that

00:48:16.000 does seem hard. I wouldn't want to go to jail either into the US

00:48:19.000 with you. It's gonna be so great. Thanksgiving. You know, all

00:48:24.000 everybody who's aligned with freedom meritocracy anti woke, you're going to be sitting there with with a smile on your

00:48:32.000 face as your woke relatives are just grumbling and angry Biden's 0.84

00:48:36.000 losing Hollywood's crumbling, they're losing money and you can

00:48:39.000 just be like, I don't even need to argue with you.

00:48:41.000 We're on the cusp of victory here.

00:48:43.000 Do you guys ever take Bitcoin for Angel Studios as currency or is that too much of a- We have a reserve of Bitcoin.

00:48:50.000 Yeah, and we have a reserve, and we've also done Bitcoin tipping with Tuttle Twins.

00:48:54.000 There's a whole episode on Bitcoin.

00:48:58.000 One of our rounds, we took on a $10 million chunk of Bitcoin as a reserve for the company.

00:49:04.000 Wow!

00:49:04.000 Yeah, just as kind of a backup.

00:49:06.000 You just bought it?

00:49:07.000 Just switched cash into Bitcoin?

00:49:09.000 No, a fund invested in Angel, and we said, we'll take your investment.

00:49:14.000 We'll sell stock for Bitcoin instead of dollars.

00:49:15.000 How long ago was that?

00:49:17.000 Hmm.

00:49:18.000 It's been a while.

00:49:19.000 Yeah.

00:49:20.000 So that's like a hundred million or something?

00:49:21.000 No, no, not that long ago.

00:49:24.000 It's still in the same.

00:49:26.000 I mean, Bitcoin's up to what, like 36 right now.

00:49:28.000 I think it was a 37 today.

00:49:30.000 It's just going up.

00:49:31.000 I mean, now that, um, what's his name?

00:49:32.000 Javier Mele got elected in Argentina is talking about switching them over to Bitcoin.

00:49:36.000 Well, yeah, he's first going to go to the dollar and then he's at Bitcoin.

00:49:40.000 Yeah.

00:49:41.000 He's going to do the same thing as Bukele. 0.97

00:49:43.000 Those guys are, Yeah, they're buds.

00:49:44.000 I guess Bukele's coming down there to hang out with him, like, for the inauguration.

00:49:47.000 Bolsonaro's gonna be there.

00:49:49.000 Yo, dude, that is so amazing.

00:49:51.000 I mean, come on, how are people... how could anyone be pessimistic right now?

00:49:55.000 This is just so amazing.

00:49:56.000 I mean, especially with all the stuff you guys are doing.

00:49:59.000 I'm just like... I'm a fan of that guy.

00:50:02.000 He's...

00:50:03.000 Oh yeah.

00:50:03.000 Afuera!

00:50:04.000 He's bold.

00:50:05.000 Afuera! 0.99

00:50:07.000 I think there are a lot of Americans he won over, you know, the day after his election because they watched him online.

00:50:11.000 But he won by not pretending that he was gonna do something different.

00:50:15.000 Yeah, there was a three, I think it was a three-person election, and then he and one of the others got the runoff, and the other, the third person, they all voted.

00:50:22.000 Essentially, we're all just gonna vote for Millet.

00:50:25.000 I guess they announced within 21 days they will end the Ministry of Diversity, Gender, and Inclusivity or whatever.

00:50:31.000 He's like, out!

00:50:32.000 And there was some tweet that was like, so there's a legal to have a gender now in Argentina.

00:50:36.000 It's like, no, it's illegal to be a terrible bureaucracy that ruins people's lives.

00:50:40.000 It's crazy, I know.

00:50:42.000 It's not even illegal, it's just shutting down a department.

00:50:45.000 How dare he?

00:50:46.000 The department has to exist.

00:50:48.000 Biology lives on. 0.99

00:50:49.000 Exactly.

00:50:50.000 Getting rid of a department doesn't mean you don't like the thing that the department is named.

00:50:54.000 Sometimes the name isn't even accurate.

00:50:55.000 I want to get rid of the Department of Education, but that doesn't mean I don't believe in education.

00:50:59.000 Look at Public Square.

00:51:00.000 You want everyone to be illiterate.

00:51:01.000 You're admitting it here and now.

00:51:04.000 Public Square put out a statement about their revenue.

00:51:06.000 They're making millions.

00:51:08.000 They're expanding.

00:51:09.000 They launched their e-commerce officially.

00:51:12.000 I think it's officially launched, right?

00:51:13.000 The e-commerce on Public Square.

00:51:15.000 I'm just looking at it.

00:51:16.000 This year has been absolutely fantastic.

00:51:18.000 You know, the 2010s were crazy.

00:51:19.000 Let me stress, you could not say on Twitter, men aren't women.

00:51:23.000 They would ban you for that. 0.94

00:51:25.000 Absolutely crazy.

00:51:26.000 Look how far we've come.

00:51:28.000 And it's cool because we do get on to all kinds of people for saying, you know, the Republicans don't do anything or, like, local people just focus on national politics.

00:51:35.000 They don't change anything in their own communities.

00:51:37.000 And I do think you're starting to see the results of people taking initiative and, especially in the case of Public Square, seeing something that was needed and creating it.

00:51:46.000 And I think you guys are similar with the work that you do.

00:51:48.000 Yeah, I don't know if they take crypto yet, public square.

00:51:50.000 That's going to be interesting when that happens.

00:51:52.000 When you take, if you took Bitcoin, like to watch a movie, I could pay you in Bitcoin, would there be like a tax hell unleashed upon the company for taking Bitcoin as payment?

00:52:01.000 Or is it past that now?

00:52:02.000 Or you can like, take it, convert it to cash?

00:52:04.000 The US treats it as capital gains tax.

00:52:08.000 And they just made a new change to where accountants can handle Bitcoin on their balance sheet a lot easier, which is going to help companies hold Bitcoin.

00:52:16.000 It's going to make a big difference.

00:52:18.000 Companies that have huge cash reserves, where we're seeing inflation, like I don't know if you guys have been at the grocery store lately, but things are getting freaking expensive.

00:52:25.000 Insane!

00:52:26.000 And, uh, you know, I, I, I, it's shocking and I'm, I'm not in the lower income brackets and I'm just can't believe how expensive it is.

00:52:35.000 And so our reserves, our cash reserves as companies are losing value the longer they sit.

00:52:42.000 So the more cash you have, and so there's going to be a lot more companies coming in and saying, we're going to put a huge chunk of our reserves in Bitcoin.

00:52:49.000 Dude, I mentioned this the other day.

00:52:50.000 We went to Weiss.

00:52:51.000 I buy these salami packs.

00:52:53.000 We usually have a bunch of them downstairs for everybody to eat.

00:52:55.000 They're $12 a pack now.

00:52:57.000 And it's just like 60 pieces of salami.

00:52:59.000 Actually, that breaks my heart more than almost anything else, is seeing food prices go up.

00:53:04.000 Because I know, like, we grew up in a family with nine kids in Idaho, and it was like, A tiny income like $13,000 a year.

00:53:12.000 We came from the very lowest tier and it breaks my heart to see people who have been saving and working their whole lives just like taking huge steps back because it's theft.

00:53:24.000 It's theft through inflation.

00:53:28.000 The CEO of Strike just said that the U.S.

00:53:33.000 needs to refinance their debt about $10 trillion over the next 18 to 24 months.

00:53:42.000 And he says in terms of scale, that's 3x the scale of COVID.

00:53:47.000 So if COVID generated the kind of inflation we just saw, refinancing that debt is going to generate I'm not going to give anybody financial advice or anything, so don't give this advice, but if Argentina does a fast shift into Bitcoin like El Salvador did, Argentina is much larger, much wealthier.

00:54:05.000 It's a huge country.

00:54:06.000 Bitcoin is going to jump in value two or three times, I could only imagine.

00:54:10.000 You said it was the CEO of Strike?

00:54:12.000 Strike.

00:54:12.000 What's Strike?

00:54:14.000 It's a Bitcoin technology.

00:54:16.000 You get a Strike app, it's like PayPal, but you just buy Bitcoin and you can actually set it up to buy Bitcoin every hour.

00:54:22.000 So I buy a little bit every single hour on strike.

00:54:27.000 I want to jump to another story here because I want to cover this last one and then get into the movie stuff.

00:54:33.000 It's just been too much good news, man.

00:54:35.000 Ladies and gentlemen, I got such amazing news for all of you.

00:54:37.000 This is from U.S.

00:54:38.000 News.

00:54:39.000 Maryland handgun licensure law is unconstitutional.

00:54:43.000 U.S.

00:54:43.000 court rules.

00:54:44.000 This is massive, okay?

00:54:46.000 A U.S. 0.66

00:54:46.000 appeals court. 0.66

00:54:47.000 This is federal.

00:54:48.000 On Tuesday, declared that Maryland's licensing requirements for people seeking to buy handguns were unconstitutional, setting a landmark U.S.

00:54:55.000 Supreme Court decision last year that expanded gun rights.

00:54:58.000 Let me break it down for you.

00:55:00.000 In Maryland, to get a gun, you gotta take a safety class, like a four-hour program, and then get a license, and then you can do this.

00:55:07.000 A lot of states do this.

00:55:08.000 And now, a U.S.

00:55:09.000 federal court has just said, not anymore.

00:55:12.000 This is a major milestone in universal federal constitutional carry, which we should have, because the Constitution is federal.

00:55:23.000 Yet state by state, we are still fighting this battle over constitutional carry now.

00:55:26.000 More than half the country is constitutional carry.

00:55:29.000 And those that remain, the evil states, they call them the evil seven, they're now losing time and time again.

00:55:35.000 This will probably get appealed.

00:55:37.000 We'll see what happens if it goes to the Supreme Court, but for the time being, a massive victory.

00:55:41.000 So at first, We had this lawsuit, it was Bruin, I think it was Bruin, right?

00:55:46.000 Where they said you can't, uh, you have to issue a permit if a permit is requested.

00:55:50.000 New Jersey and Maryland and New York are three examples of states where you'd go in and say, I'd like to get a gun.

00:55:56.000 They'd say, great, fill out this form.

00:55:58.000 And the form would say, what's your reason?

00:56:00.000 And if you were like, I'm an American citizen who wants to keep and bear arms, they'd say, not good enough.

00:56:05.000 And they'd deny you your permit.

00:56:06.000 Or they'd lie.

00:56:07.000 So the Supreme Court says, no, no, no, that's unconstitutional, you're borrowing guns, you have to do it.

00:56:12.000 Maryland and New Jersey were, and New York, would not give you a permit.

00:56:16.000 They'd give you one only if you were rich or famous.

00:56:18.000 And could prove you were rich and famous.

00:56:20.000 The other way to get it is if you handle large sums of cash, like working at a bank, they would allow you to get a permit as a security guard, but so almost nobody gets them.

00:56:30.000 Now, they've lost that, and the latest news is, they said, okay, fine, you can get a gun, but you gotta take a class.

00:56:36.000 And now the courts are like, nah, you don't.

00:56:38.000 You can have a gun.

00:56:39.000 So, Maryland is about to be forced by a judicial review to become constitutional carry.

00:56:46.000 This rule is a major push we may eventually see, and I'm talking like in two or three years, maybe four, depending on how long it takes the Supreme Court, but we could see in the next Several years.

00:56:58.000 Nationwide constitutional carry, which means you can be in Maryland and carry concealed and drive to any state you want and not go to prison for doing so.

00:57:06.000 Yeah.

00:57:07.000 Which is insane if you think about it, because the Constitution of the United States says you have the right to keep and bear arms.

00:57:11.000 So why is that if you go from Virginia to West Virginia, you're fine?

00:57:14.000 And if you go to Maryland, now you're committing a felony.

00:57:17.000 That's insane.

00:57:18.000 Because Maryland doesn't think you should have a gun, right?

00:57:20.000 And also, Maryland has, you know, a very intense crime-ridden city.

00:57:24.000 I'm talking about Baltimore, of course.

00:57:26.000 They don't know how to handle these issues, but they think we'll ban guns and that will make everything okay.

00:57:31.000 They don't understand the problems they have because they don't acknowledge what they're trying to say.

00:57:36.000 Brazil when Bolsonaro came in.

00:57:38.000 I don't agree with everything Bolsonaro did, but one of the things he did is he said people should be able to own firearms.

00:57:44.000 And crime dropped during his period.

00:57:46.000 My wife's Brazilian, so my kids are all half Brazilian.

00:57:49.000 We spend a lot of time down there.

00:57:51.000 But crime dropped by 30% during his time.

00:57:55.000 Amazing.

00:57:56.000 And all the academics were trying to explain it away and say, well, it wasn't because of guns.

00:58:00.000 It was because of The air.

00:58:03.000 Are there good policies that he was implementing?

00:58:05.000 Please name which one!

00:58:06.000 He just got lucky.

00:58:08.000 Was he doing what they did in San Francisco, making crime legal?

00:58:11.000 And then not classifying it as a crime anymore?

00:58:15.000 That's a serious question, I don't know.

00:58:16.000 No, Bolsonaro's kind of the opposite end of that one.

00:58:18.000 He's the lock him up and throw away the key type.

00:58:20.000 30%.

00:58:20.000 Do you know how much of that was violent crime that diminished?

00:58:25.000 I don't know all the super details, but it was stunning how much impact it had.

00:58:31.000 Amazing.

00:58:32.000 Well, I can't remember which state it was, but I remember a story that I learned about when I was like 18.

00:58:39.000 That, it might have been Michigan or Wisconsin, some state enacted a gun control law and then crime skyrocketed like 87%, so they immediately repealed it. 0.81

00:58:48.000 Like, oh crap, that was a big mistake.

00:58:50.000 And Illinois, just outside of Chicago, has a city with some of the highest crime in the country, believe it or not. 0.97

00:58:59.000 A lot of people think you're gonna get the highest crime rates in like per city, but yes, there is this one part of Illinois that has one of the highest crime rates.

00:59:05.000 It's actually a wealthy shopping district.

00:59:08.000 So it's not murderers and stuff, it's just everybody's getting robbed and mugged non-stop.

00:59:14.000 Look man, if you live in Illinois, these criminals know you don't got a gun.

00:59:19.000 Is there a value to making it constitutionally legal statewide except for in the big cities?

00:59:23.000 Or would that just cause too much confusion?

00:59:26.000 And if you ever had to like go, like I think about Tennessee where there are three major cities across it.

00:59:30.000 If you ever drive across Tennessee, what are you going to do?

00:59:32.000 Like go around it to avoid it?

00:59:34.000 At some point you're just putting a burden on the law-abiding citizens and you're not actually dealing with those people who don't care about your laws and will bring a gun there anyways.

00:59:42.000 I guess, are the highways federal?

00:59:45.000 Or are they all state?

00:59:46.000 Well, no, I mean, they're state and federal highways.

00:59:48.000 So typically, the way the law is supposed to work is if you're on a federal highway, an interstate, you're allowed to carry, you know, under certain circumstances.

00:59:55.000 Typically, you're allowed to transport.

00:59:57.000 But if you get off at any point for gas, ooh, they're gonna get you.

01:00:00.000 I know people who've had this happen to them.

01:00:01.000 Otherwise, if you don't have this, what happens is you end up, if you're in Sao Paulo or any area of Brazil, and it hasn't, but guns have been illegal for a long time there before Bolsonaro.

01:00:11.000 You have these walls that are as tall as your ceiling.

01:00:14.000 And on top of the walls, it's just a bunch of broken glass bottles cemented into the top of the wall.

01:00:19.000 Because people are poor, they can't afford really great security.

01:00:22.000 And so they just build a big wall and put broken glass bottles on it.

01:00:26.000 They build a wall, you say?

01:00:27.000 What a great idea!

01:00:29.000 So this is actually crazy.

01:00:30.000 But around every single little tiny house, there's a wall with broken glass bottles.

01:00:34.000 They stick it in the water.

01:00:35.000 That's your last defense.

01:00:37.000 When you don't have any way to defend yourself.

01:00:39.000 And if you call the police, they'll show up in like an hour.

01:00:42.000 Oh, right.

01:00:44.000 But I mean, let's be honest, that's how it is in the US.

01:00:46.000 Yeah, it's starting to get that way.

01:00:49.000 My experience in Chicago has always been that way.

01:00:51.000 Okay.

01:00:52.000 I'm a farm boy.

01:00:55.000 So the only consideration when you're in the rural areas is how long will it take for them to drive there?

01:00:59.000 That's right.

01:01:00.000 Because they'll come as fast as they can.

01:01:01.000 Exactly.

01:01:02.000 It might be 20 minutes.

01:01:03.000 But in the city, you could have a police station down the street, and this has happened to me and my family, and had someone, you know, let's just say engaging in violence against our property, and literally a block away, and the cops didn't show up for half an hour.

01:01:16.000 It's because they're dealing with like, like actual violent murder or something.

01:01:20.000 Or they're passing out parking tickets.

01:01:22.000 Yeah.

01:01:23.000 Or they're just like, who cares?

01:01:24.000 Like, what are we going to do about it?

01:01:25.000 In the suburbs.

01:01:26.000 Like, man, that sounds really bad.

01:01:28.000 We'll stay away from there.

01:01:29.000 It was okay response time in the suburbs, but out in the country, like, I mean, 20 minutes is not acceptable.

01:01:35.000 Well, this is the reality, man.

01:01:36.000 When, when, when I lived in Florida, if we, if we, we didn't have police, if we called the sheriff, it was going to be an hour, hour and a half.

01:01:43.000 So, you need a gun.

01:01:45.000 I was talking to a friend of mine who was like, she told me there's absolutely no reason anyone should have a gun.

01:01:51.000 Give me one reason.

01:01:52.000 I said, okay, well, I lived in rural Florida, 40 miles outside of Miami, on a five-acre property, and we didn't have a gun.

01:02:00.000 We had a break-action air compression .22 pellet rifle.

01:02:05.000 And there was word going around the neighbors that someone had been murdered.

01:02:10.000 It was a home invasion.

01:02:11.000 Illegal immigrants had broken in and killed some people and they were not caught. 1.00

01:02:15.000 So one day me and my friends are hanging out in the kitchen.

01:02:17.000 We're making pizzas because we like to just make all different kinds of pizza for fun.

01:02:20.000 We make weird ones.

01:02:21.000 We made a fruit pizza once with like jam and kiwis and stuff.

01:02:24.000 Just goofing off.

01:02:25.000 And I see a guy in my backyard with a flashlight.

01:02:27.000 And I'm like, there are six foot tall fences surrounding the property.

01:02:32.000 And so I'm like, okay, I can call Sheriff right now, and maybe in an hour and a half we'll figure it out.

01:02:37.000 So, I'm not gonna say it's a responsible thing to do, but I compressed air in the rifle, went out, dry fired, bang!

01:02:45.000 And I yelled, hey!

01:02:46.000 They bolted, jumped the fence, and they were gone.

01:02:48.000 Perhaps the smartest thing to do, it's all I could do at the time, and it made me think, like, we probably shouldn't be out here unless we're able to defend ourselves.

01:02:55.000 And so I said, okay, what would have happened if that was the murderer who had, you know, killed somebody else?

01:03:00.000 And he realized it was just an airsoft gun, or a... Or, no, no, I didn't have anything.

01:03:04.000 I mean, they hear a bang, they run for it.

01:03:05.000 They're not gonna try and figure out what it was.

01:03:08.000 It's a loud weapon.

01:03:09.000 And to be honest, those things are dangerous.

01:03:11.000 Not as dangerous as, like, a Ruger 10-22.

01:03:13.000 But let's say we're totally disarmed, And this guy comes up to the property, armed.

01:03:19.000 Should I- I call the police.

01:03:21.000 They'll be here in an hour and a half.

01:03:22.000 What should I do?

01:03:22.000 You're back to the biggest man wins.

01:03:24.000 She had no answer.

01:03:25.000 She had no answer.

01:03:26.000 She's like, oh, I don't know.

01:03:27.000 That person shouldn't have a gun. 0.97

01:03:28.000 I'm like, you're right, but they have one because they're committing a crime.

01:03:29.000 What should I do? 0.82

01:03:31.000 Should I just die? You should tell them they shouldn't have a gun and then they'll be like, 0.98

01:03:33.000 oh my mistake, I'll put it down and there's no let me pause the game. There's no answer.

01:03:37.000 The answer is you need to be able to defend yourself from bad people and law-abiding citizens

01:03:41.000 are not the risk. Yeah. Yeah. I just and you guys are parents like when your kids are old enough to

01:03:45.000 live by themselves would you feel better if they like live had a gun and knew how to how to defend

01:03:50.000 themselves if they live alone?

01:03:51.000 Train them on what to do.

01:03:53.000 It does make sense.

01:03:53.000 It's weird to me that the response to, I have a fear about gun is to ban them as opposed to train more people to know how to operate them and to feel comfortable with them.

01:04:02.000 And that means that you're not probably not addressing what your actual fear is, which is crime.

01:04:06.000 And that's a different conversation.

01:04:07.000 I remember after the Aurora, Colorado shooting, I said to my wife and I was just like, I'm never like I'm getting a gun.

01:04:17.000 And I have a phobia of pistols, not because I don't, I'm a big supporter of self-defense and the second amendment, but I have a phobia.

01:04:25.000 So I'm going to go take classes down in Nevada, a week long class on how to do this.

01:04:30.000 And I'm going to become as well trained as any police officer so that I know, and I have confidence that I know how to use it and I know how to protect myself and I'll never regret.

01:04:40.000 That I didn't do that, right?

01:04:45.000 But I wanted to be trained.

01:04:46.000 I wanted to know and to try to get rid of the phobia.

01:04:50.000 According to self-defense instructors, you'll be the guy that they run to if anything pops off because they all know you know what you're doing and they'll be clinging to you.

01:04:58.000 Just in from a Super Chatter, Oregon judge struck down a gun control measure just within the last three hours.

01:05:08.000 We're winning too fast here.

01:05:12.000 Measure 114 unconstitutional.

01:05:14.000 Looked like they were trying to create a 30-day delay.

01:05:17.000 Oregon has really intense rules.

01:05:19.000 But they shut that down.

01:05:20.000 I'm getting tired of winning, guys.

01:05:22.000 We're just winning too much.

01:05:23.000 She's gonna have to get used to it.

01:05:24.000 Let's talk about what you guys are working on now because you've got a new movie coming out on December 1st.

01:05:28.000 Yeah, the next week, Friday.

01:05:29.000 This is a good one.

01:05:30.000 Yeah, the next week, Friday.

01:05:32.000 This is a good one.

01:05:33.000 This is a good one.

01:05:34.000 Should we play the trailer?

01:05:35.000 What do you think you guys think?

01:05:36.000 They're all good though, right?

01:05:37.000 No, they're all good because they all passed the guild.

01:05:40.000 99% of the projects that go through the Guild do not pass because they're not, like, it's a high threshold.

01:05:47.000 We've had major filmmakers come in, go into the Guild, fail, get really mad because they're like, I'm, my name, like, you should at least just like, I'm marketable.

01:05:57.000 And it's like, no, they didn't like it.

01:06:00.000 Well, so the new movie that you guys got coming out, everybody knows Sound of Freedom.

01:06:04.000 It was huge.

01:06:04.000 It was awesome.

01:06:05.000 Now you've got The Shift, which is December 1st.

01:06:09.000 You want to tell us about it?

01:06:09.000 Yep.

01:06:10.000 This is our first original.

01:06:12.000 This mirrors our story.

01:06:14.000 We met the filmmaker and writer in 2017.

01:06:19.000 His name is Brock Heasley.

01:06:20.000 This guy has this most amazing story.

01:06:22.000 When he was a kid, his dad was Actually, a pawn shop owner, gunned down in California, ended up living, was on Rescue 911 to tell his story, and then Brock, when he was a missionary, his dad was shot again, and his dad was killed.

01:06:43.000 So Brock started writing to deal with everything that he was going through in life.

01:06:50.000 And then he and his wife went through the worst time where they lost everything.

01:06:54.000 They both lost their jobs on the same day.

01:06:57.000 They were just destitute.

01:06:59.000 And he made this film with pizza money, this short film.

01:07:04.000 And then he said, I'm going to take this over to Angel Studios and see how the Angel Guild likes this.

01:07:10.000 Short film.

01:07:11.000 And they caught the vision of it five years ago.

01:07:15.000 And he's gone through a process of creating this film.

01:07:19.000 And the score on the film just keeps getting higher and higher and higher.

01:07:23.000 And it gets better and better and better.

01:07:25.000 Until just, what was it, 60 days ago or so, they passed the Guild to get into theaters.

01:07:31.000 Yep.

01:07:31.000 Wow.

01:07:32.000 And so we went ahead and said, all right, we're going forward with December 1st.

01:07:37.000 And they went through the Guild a lot of times, meaning they resubmitted this film.

01:07:42.000 He took a $500 short film made with pizza money, built a $6.5 million budget, brought in Neil McDonough from Band of Brothers, Sean Astin from Lord of the Rings and from Stranger Things, Liz Tabish who plays Mary Magdalene in The Chosen, Paris Patel who plays Matthew in The Chosen, I mean, and then Chris Palaha, who's like the biggest star on Hallmark, and he's very, very good at the romance stuff, which this is a dystopian romance.

01:08:12.000 And he made this film.

01:08:15.000 It is, it is a, and it's going nationwide, first time director, first time writer for a film.

01:08:23.000 And this is going nationwide on December 1st.

01:08:25.000 Is the writer, the director?

01:08:27.000 Yes.

01:08:27.000 What's his name again?

01:08:28.000 Brock Heasley.

01:08:29.000 Heasley?

01:08:29.000 Heasley.

01:08:30.000 H-E-A-S-L-E-Y? 0.99

01:08:31.000 Is that right?

01:08:33.000 Yeah.

01:08:34.000 Heasley.

01:08:34.000 What did he shoot the $500 thing on?

01:08:37.000 How did he make that with $500?

01:08:38.000 A bunch of friends and favors.

01:08:41.000 Just called them favors from his friends.

01:08:43.000 And bought them pizza.

01:08:44.000 Yep.

01:08:45.000 Oh, it's so hard.

01:08:45.000 And he submitted that to Angel, and then they caught the vision off of that.

01:08:50.000 He crowdfunded over time.

01:08:52.000 It took him a while, but he crowdfunded and raised $6.5 million and built this film.

01:08:57.000 But back when he passed the Guild, my wife said she watched the short and she's like, I don't get it, Neil.

01:09:02.000 I don't get why you like this film or why the Guild liked this film.

01:09:06.000 And then he got to the full feature because the original was You know, it was dark.

01:09:12.000 This retells the story of Job in like a sci-fi world, and she just didn't get it.

01:09:18.000 Then she watched the screener after he finished the film, finished shooting it, and she's like, I love this film.

01:09:26.000 And it's testing extremely well.

01:09:28.000 Should we play the trailer?

01:09:29.000 Yep.

01:09:29.000 All right, we got a trailer right here.

01:09:31.000 Let's pull it up and play it for you guys.

01:09:33.000 You guys ready?

01:09:33.000 ready here we go.

01:09:45.000 Oh.

01:09:46.000 Oh, yeah.

01:09:47.000 I'm going to go get my bag.

01:09:49.000 I've never been to this lake before.

01:09:51.000 Never walked its shores.

01:09:59.000 But I will find my way back.

01:10:01.000 And I will find my way back to my Molly.

01:10:07.000 Five years ago, I was left in this dark place.

01:10:14.000 Taken from my wife.

01:10:18.000 The people here have no hope.

01:10:21.000 You still looking for that wife of yours? 0.99

01:10:22.000 You're clinging to scraps of rumors.

01:10:25.000 And then he arrived.

01:10:27.000 Where's my wife? 1.00

01:10:33.000 I shifted her.

01:10:35.000 For every choice you make, there are countless other realities where you make a different choice.

01:10:40.000 You're talking about parallel earths.

01:10:42.000 Imagine having the power to move people from one reality to the next.

01:10:47.000 To shift them.

01:10:49.000 What do you want with me?

01:10:55.000 I can make you a king.

01:10:56.000 Imagine everything you have ever wanted.

01:10:59.000 Work for me and get back with the woman that you love. 0.93

01:11:06.000 Okay. We go on a date and maybe we kiss.

01:11:09.000 Hopefully.

01:11:11.000 He's mighty.

01:11:11.000 Shift you back to your wife, it's a trick.

01:11:13.000 If I choose you, that's the last choice I'm ever gonna make.

01:11:23.000 I will never leave you alone.

01:11:27.000 I've seen a bunch of people like us out there looking for a little hope.

01:11:32.000 There is nothing that I won't do to you. 0.99

01:11:39.000 You can't just shoot the devil. 0.96

01:11:49.000 ♪♪♪♪ There is so much evil and inhumanity in this world.

01:11:57.000 But there is also beauty and hope.

01:12:00.000 And I will find my way back.

01:12:06.000 Right on.

01:12:08.000 Man, I just gotta say, you know, I like winning.

01:12:11.000 Winning the Culture Wars is fantastic.

01:12:13.000 Sound of Freedom was amazing.

01:12:14.000 I'm looking forward to this.

01:12:15.000 I'm trying to pull up my local movie theater to see if I can get tickets right now.

01:12:18.000 Go to angel.com slash the shift and you can see all the different showtimes there are right now.

01:12:24.000 It's almost, I think we're almost to 2,000 theaters right now.

01:12:27.000 The lesson I learned from the second time we watched this, we watched it before the show went live, is don't talk on your phone while you're driving.

01:12:34.000 That guy, if you catch that one second, he flicks his eye to see who it is.

01:12:37.000 Oncoming traffic.

01:12:39.000 I'm glad we've learned this lesson.

01:12:40.000 Put it on silent, ignore the thing, go slow so you can get there faster.

01:12:45.000 Angel.com slash the shift.

01:12:48.000 Yeah.

01:12:48.000 So when the guy who came up with this was resubmitting it to the Guild, did they provide him feedback on, we need to shift this?

01:12:55.000 I mean, so it's a very collaborative, responsive process.

01:12:58.000 What happens when you go to the Angel Guild and you sign up, and we actually have a URL for TimCast, where you go angel.com slash TimCast will let you sign up for the Guild.

01:13:06.000 You can go there, you can become a member of the Guild, and you can start voting on content.

01:13:10.000 And you get complimentary tickets to every single movie.

01:13:13.000 So when you sign up, the Guild already gets to watch Sound of Freedom.

01:13:17.000 They already get to watch After Death.

01:13:18.000 You get to watch Tidal Twins early.

01:13:20.000 And then you're going to get two free tickets to The Shift.

01:13:23.000 You'll get two free tickets to this new movie called Cabrini coming out next year.

01:13:27.000 So on.

01:13:27.000 But you're building... And you get to watch the next Sound of Freedom far before anybody else does.

01:13:34.000 So angel.com slash timcast will get you to the Guild.

01:13:34.000 Yeah.

01:13:39.000 But with the shift, he submitted to the guild again and again, rough cuts, and there's a hundred thousand guild members.

01:13:47.000 And so you get several hundred to a thousand people watching it, and then they give you a signal and it comes out as a score zero to a hundred.

01:13:53.000 Usually like to pass, you have to be at least a 60 on that score.

01:13:58.000 It's a signal of how passionate people are about your film.

01:14:02.000 And like the high 60s or low 70s will put you at like 99% audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes.

01:14:08.000 Like Sound of Freedom was a 76? 0.85

01:14:10.000 It was a 74.

01:14:11.000 74.

01:14:11.000 74 Sound of Freedom.

01:14:13.000 99 to 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

01:14:15.000 Yeah.

01:14:17.000 Sound of Freedom is the most highest audience rated blockbuster of all time on Rotten Tomatoes for audiences.

01:14:25.000 And, but the, the shift, he went back, I think like 12 different times and just kept getting the signal.

01:14:34.000 I'm off.

01:14:35.000 And we don't tell you why you're off.

01:14:36.000 You just see the number, you know, you're not there yet.

01:14:39.000 And then you can read all the comments from everybody and try to go through the noise and find the signal as a filmmaker.

01:14:45.000 So we're not going to tell you what's wrong with your film.

01:14:47.000 But people do provide comments.

01:14:49.000 They do provide comments so that you can try to sift through the noise and find the signal as an artist to say, uh, this is what's wrong.

01:14:57.000 Because sometimes people give you, they say one thing, but you as an artist realize, oh, what's actually wrong is something totally different.

01:15:03.000 And you solve their problem in a different way.

01:15:06.000 For instance, they'd be like, I don't like that character, but you realize that the audio is not right on that character's scenes.

01:15:11.000 Or you haven't made him sympathetic enough.

01:15:11.000 Exactly.

01:15:12.000 You need something else to add to it.

01:15:15.000 There was early on people were saying the movie's too long.

01:15:17.000 But the movie wasn't too long.

01:15:19.000 We ended up cutting, what the problem was is it went too deep at the beginning on the difficulty of the children, right?

01:15:28.000 It just went too deep and people couldn't get out at the end and actually enjoy the thriller part of the movie.

01:15:34.000 Because the heartache was so heavy.

01:15:36.000 And so we actually cut down, the director cut down the intro of the film Not a lot.

01:15:41.000 When everybody was saying cut, the way the audience would respond is say, it just feels long.

01:15:46.000 And so you think, oh, I'm going to go cut down the slow parts, not these parts where everybody's bawling.

01:15:51.000 I'm going to go cut down the non-emotional parts.

01:15:54.000 But where it needed to be cut down was just a little bit in the heavier stuff because they went too deep.

01:15:59.000 And then it felt long because they were exhausted by the end.

01:16:01.000 Yeah, and a cut down doesn't just mean like shorten, it means like be more... Just tight.

01:16:05.000 Yeah, have a critical eye of what exactly is conveying what you want.

01:16:09.000 I think it's not like you're saying cut all of your movie, it's saying, you know, review it.

01:16:13.000 It's the same thing with an editorial piece, right?

01:16:14.000 You could say something with 5,000 words, but if you have one line that really conveys the meaning, that's honestly, you know, much more powerful.

01:16:21.000 And what will blow your mind with the shift is Liz Tabish's performance, the one who plays Mary Magdalene.

01:16:28.000 She shines in this.

01:16:30.000 I've got a quote here that just came in from Eric Artel, who's a major TikToker, and he said, Elizabeth Tabish gives the performance of her career.

01:16:37.000 And if you've seen The Chosen, you know she's super good.

01:16:40.000 Her depth and vulnerability brought me to tears.

01:16:43.000 And we've seen also with Eric, sorry, with Chris Palaha, who's the, they call him sometimes the Prince of Hallmark.

01:16:52.000 That's his normal world as he does Hallmark movies.

01:16:54.000 Everybody who's watching right now who watches Hallmark knows who Chris Palaha is.

01:16:58.000 He's a star.

01:17:00.000 But he's doing something totally different in this movie.

01:17:02.000 It's a very intense thriller.

01:17:04.000 But he says it's the culmination of his career.

01:17:07.000 Culmination of his career.

01:17:08.000 He loves this movie.

01:17:09.000 And he knows how to do romance so well.

01:17:11.000 So him and Liz got this chemistry, like to the point you're just like, these two... What did one person say?

01:17:18.000 One review was like, you can tell these two people want to procreate.

01:17:23.000 It doesn't show anything.

01:17:25.000 Sean Ashton is unbelievable.

01:17:27.000 Neil McDonough, in my opinion, gives the performance of his career in this movie.

01:17:31.000 He's great.

01:17:32.000 This movie we're having, especially women, are telling us that this is the best movie Angels done. 1.00

01:17:39.000 And that is a big deal when you're thinking about... Now, men don't put as high as Sound of Freedom.

01:17:46.000 I think the dude saving children is like really male power. 0.98

01:17:51.000 I got text messages from friends who are like, can we go kill some pedophiles after they watch the movie? 0.98

01:18:00.000 But that's how they feel. 0.99

01:18:01.000 But it's similar to the effect with the Patriot, right?

01:18:04.000 The Patriot is like, people are like, yeah, this is a great country.

01:18:07.000 I feel good about this.

01:18:07.000 I mean, I think men and women watch film and TV and movies for a different emotional reaction.

01:18:12.000 So that's interesting.

01:18:13.000 So women love this movie. 1.00

01:18:15.000 It's like, and, and it is selling out all over the country.

01:18:18.000 There's movie theaters selling out all over the country and we're up against Napoleon.

01:18:22.000 So it's a, it's a hard, I heard bad things about Napoleon.

01:18:24.000 Who's playing Napoleon?

01:18:25.000 Someone well-known actor.

01:18:26.000 Oh, yeah.

01:18:27.000 It's Joaquin.

01:18:27.000 Yeah.

01:18:28.000 Joaquin's amazing.

01:18:30.000 But the, when you watch this, some, some of one, one, one person said after they watched it, they're like with Chris Palahas, they're like, it's like my brain is like, this is a, This is like if Christopher Nolan directed a Hallmark film.

01:18:45.000 Yeah, it feels like they took the guy out of office space and like shifted him into that reality where he just kind of looks like, what's his name?

01:18:54.000 You can't describe this.

01:18:55.000 He's also the handsome guy on a Marvel movie.

01:18:58.000 Yeah, he's in Marvel Avengers.

01:18:59.000 He's in Avengers Endgame.

01:19:01.000 Yeah.

01:19:01.000 But in the credits, he's handsome, man.

01:19:04.000 Oh, hell yeah.

01:19:06.000 In the Guild, is there a discrepancy?

01:19:08.000 He is a very good-looking man.

01:19:10.000 I agree, actually.

01:19:11.000 Very good-looking.

01:19:11.000 I'm glad they cut his face up for the movie so that he'd stop getting typecast.

01:19:16.000 Do you have the male-to-female ratio in the Guild?

01:19:19.000 Is that noticeable in the way they vote?

01:19:21.000 Yeah, so the women rate this super high. 1.00

01:19:24.000 The men don't start rating it high until the special effects and the sound design came in.

01:19:29.000 So women started rating this really high early on because they don't care if Sci-fi movies just look like people walking around with plastic guns until you add in all the sound design going and the lasers and the, you know, once all that stuff came in, the men are like, yeah, this is an awesome movie.

01:19:47.000 But the women were on board before that because they're like, this love story is palpable. 1.00

01:19:51.000 When you're waiting the votes from the guild, do you ever take into account the females?

01:19:56.000 A lot of females voted a nine, a lot of men voted a three.

01:19:59.000 So let's, We're focused more on, yeah, we're focused.

01:20:02.000 We actually shifted the focus of our marketing.

01:20:04.000 This trailer is a little more male focused, but we've shifted a lot of it towards the romance side.

01:20:09.000 Because this is, a lot of people say this feels like Hunger Games, which is a teenage romance, dystopian romance, right?

01:20:17.000 Yeah, it does have Hunger Games vibe, I get that.

01:20:19.000 It's got a kind of a Hunger Game... In fact, it's trailering in front of the... Yeah, it's trailering in front of Hunger Games right now.

01:20:26.000 Interesting.

01:20:27.000 That's just through the trailer?

01:20:29.000 It gives that vibe?

01:20:29.000 So if you go watch Hunger Games in Regal, you're going to see this trailer in front of you.

01:20:35.000 But like for a different movie that's more romance vibe, you would have a different trailer?

01:20:38.000 Yeah, we have focuses on romance for women, the story of Job, which is this is a modern telling of the story of Job for the more faith oriented groups.

01:20:50.000 And then you've got the thriller element, which is for men, like that men come for the Is that common when you're making trailers to do one for women and one for men?

01:21:01.000 We line them out and we say this is going to this group, this is going to this group.

01:21:06.000 Like any other marketing.

01:21:07.000 Can I ask how much demographic information you have about the Guild?

01:21:11.000 You guys are based in Utah.

01:21:14.000 Is that where the Guild was or do you find that they're international?

01:21:19.000 The initiation of the Guild came all from investors and because we are regulated by the SEC and FINRA for crowdfunding, It was a US-centric group.

01:21:30.000 Except for the angel investors.

01:21:32.000 But do you feel like that's represented in the people who participate?

01:21:35.000 Do you feel like you have a broad selection of people from across the country?

01:21:39.000 If you go to angel.com Timcast, you can now sign up for a membership anywhere in the world.

01:21:44.000 And so the guild is growing very quickly.

01:21:47.000 But it's not Utah.

01:21:48.000 But it's not.

01:21:48.000 It's not?

01:21:49.000 It's every single state.

01:21:50.000 That's interesting.

01:21:51.000 You have almost, I think, 200,000.

01:21:52.000 The website says 175,000.

01:21:52.000 Yeah, 175,000.

01:21:55.000 I'm just wondering if it's like, you know, word of mouth, like you guys are in your community and saying, we're starting this thing.

01:21:59.000 So your friends sign up and it grows from there.

01:22:01.000 Or if it is something that, you know.

01:22:02.000 The more you get your friends to sign up, the more weight your culture has on the guild.

01:22:08.000 If TimCast fans all come and sign up, then when you bring a movie to Angel, you're much more likely to succeed because your demographics more represented.

01:22:18.000 And there are cities across America, I remember, I mean Texas, there are a couple, I think Matthew Conahay and a couple other actors who are trying to push Texas growing its film industry.

01:22:26.000 I mean, obviously Atlanta has like a film industry right now.

01:22:28.000 There are states across the US that have a film industry that exists, it's just not as big as Hollywood, right?

01:22:34.000 That's right.

01:22:34.000 This was shot in Birmingham.

01:22:36.000 It was a Birmingham crew.

01:22:37.000 Birmingham, Alabama shot this.

01:22:38.000 That's interesting.

01:22:39.000 And Birmingham, surprisingly, is a very dystopian looking place for a film.

01:22:44.000 Wow.

01:22:45.000 Yeah, it's got a lot of rundown buildings, a lot of beautiful architecture.

01:22:49.000 There's a scene in here that's... And we needed beautiful architecture with the rundown look.

01:22:53.000 There's a scene in here, like the climax scene, is in this old historic building, reminding... It's a masonic temple.

01:22:59.000 Yeah, but who spoke there?

01:23:01.000 Oh, Martin Luther King Jr.

01:23:02.000 Martin Luther King spoke there.

01:23:04.000 Yeah, he spoke at that, in that same spot where the final scenes are.

01:23:08.000 Yeah, was where he spoke.

01:23:09.000 Or where you see him like on the screen looking at his wife.

01:23:13.000 Yeah, Martin Luther King Jr.

01:23:14.000 spoke there.

01:23:16.000 So do you find that there are a lot of people in the film industry who are reaching out to you to say, I want to be involved with Angel Studios, but I'm not based in Hollywood, I'm based over here doing whatever, like, is it sort of becoming something people reach out to not just to get their film made, but for their professional careers?

01:23:30.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:23:32.000 Yes.

01:23:33.000 I mean, we can only, right now, Angel only accepts what we call a torch.

01:23:38.000 And this harvests back to the beginning of crowdfunding.

01:23:43.000 So the Statue of Liberty, originally Frederick Bartholdi made a torch.

01:23:47.000 He took it around Europe to raise money.

01:23:49.000 He took it around the U.S.

01:23:50.000 He couldn't get governments to pay for it.

01:23:52.000 Right.

01:23:52.000 So he actually had to crowdfund the Statue of Liberty.

01:23:54.000 Right.

01:23:55.000 What a time, back in the day, when governments didn't just cut checks for everything.

01:23:59.000 So the French and the American people saw that torch and they caught the vision for what he was trying to create.

01:24:04.000 And the same way somebody brings a torch, a video, a short film, or a full film, if it's gonna go to theaters like Sound of Freedom, and then the Guild looks at it, they catch the vision of where they're trying to head with it, and they vote yay or nay.

01:24:17.000 But if I were like a cameraman and I was based in, you know, North Carolina, do you have people reaching out for those kind of production type jobs, or do you have to direct them somewhere else?

01:24:26.000 So each production has its own casting department and David's being done in South Africa.

01:24:36.000 We've got productions in the UK.

01:24:38.000 David's a film about King David.

01:24:39.000 It's an animated musical.

01:24:42.000 That's coming in 2025.

01:24:43.000 It's a $62 million film that they crowdfunded.

01:24:45.000 Crazy.

01:24:46.000 Yeah.

01:24:48.000 So these are done in different places.

01:24:50.000 The Chosen is shot in both Goshen, Utah and just outside of Dallas, Texas.

01:24:55.000 And the shift crew, it's got the guys who did the music for The Chosen, Dan Hasseltine and Matt Matthew Nelson.

01:25:05.000 Matthew Nelson did it, and it's phenomenal.

01:25:07.000 The score on this is unlike anything you've ever heard.

01:25:09.000 There's nothing generic about it.

01:25:11.000 Those guys did Jars of Clay, the band, back in the day.

01:25:16.000 They've scored now The Chosen in this, and they're two of the best movie scorers.

01:25:20.000 But it doesn't sound anything like The Chosen score.

01:25:22.000 Yeah, it sounds nothing like it.

01:25:24.000 Then you've got, one of the producers was the editor for Sound of Freedom.

01:25:32.000 And he also edited Cabrini which is coming out in March and then so there is a cross-pollination happening between the group so like Alejandro Monteverde who directed Sound of Freedom and Cabrini came in and consulted to help Brock get to the point where he could pass the guild right because he was he was trying to figure out how to get a score up and Alejandro said well I If you did this or if you did this, you know, like he gave some really great ideas or the the creators of Tuttle Twins spent some time on it And so these different filmmakers join around you once you've kind of reached this point where you're where you're building a film Yeah, because they need you to succeed as well Because it's part of the community but to be honest to your question Hannah like we're not replacing the Hollywood craft

01:26:21.000 Like, these productions, they're using SAG actors, they're using teams that are part of the Hollywood network, because Hollywood is better at making movies than anyone else in the world.

01:26:31.000 Yeah, I always think- They're promise men, and they're not ideologically opposed to this.

01:26:35.000 Well, I was gonna say, I think it's interesting because we talk about building culture and, you know, movies, and I think that's great and excellent, but...

01:26:40.000 I would think all of the people that need to make the film or, you know, it's not just the actors or the people cutting it together.

01:26:46.000 It's also the people holding the mics and the people with the cameras.

01:26:49.000 Like those skills have ties to Hollywood.

01:26:51.000 Those guys just love making great art.

01:26:53.000 They don't care if the art is nihilistic or if it praises God or if it's in between somewhere.

01:26:59.000 They don't care as long as it's great art.

01:27:02.000 What they don't like making is campy, cringe stuff.

01:27:05.000 So they want something better.

01:27:06.000 They don't want to just make the same five movies over and over again.

01:27:08.000 That's right.

01:27:08.000 To reach the level that's required... It's the gatekeepers that are the problem.

01:27:12.000 To reach the level that's required for the Angel Guild, you pretty much have to have that level of craft, which means you're calling on the resources of the storytelling world to do that.

01:27:22.000 So if people are interested, they have to get involved in the casting groups, and they have to get involved in acting and work their way up in the industry, and then they'll have a chance.

01:27:32.000 But what we saw is that the problem with Hollywood is that it's become too insular, it's become a bubble, and very few people make these story decisions.

01:27:41.000 And then they're pushing their views on the world and the way the stories are told.

01:27:45.000 And because they hold the keys to the gate, those are the only stories that get out.

01:27:50.000 And we're replacing the gatekeepers with the people.

01:27:53.000 We're replacing it right at the same point where it stopped working.

01:27:56.000 Do you, are you ever concerned that like having Alejandro come in and advise, um, Oh, is his name Brock?

01:28:02.000 Yeah, to advise Brock is going to create a similar problem where a lot of the genres are the, it's a similar genre because a lot of the interactivity amongst the artists is going to.

01:28:12.000 Except for Brock was already so far down the road.

01:28:15.000 He's more helping him solve.

01:28:17.000 It's like a mechanic saying, Hey, the, the, I can diagnose, the problem with your storyline that you're facing.

01:28:26.000 Let me, let me give you the diagnosis and here are a couple of ideas to solve it.

01:28:31.000 And then Brock went and solved it in his own way.

01:28:34.000 Right.

01:28:34.000 And, and Brock actually, like the first time that the first ideas to try to solve it actually didn't work, but the combination of those two ideas, they got to a solution.

01:28:43.000 And, uh, but Brock made the final call on what was, on what it was.

01:28:47.000 I would imagine he'd already have the vision prepared and that he's just doing technical crafting at that point.

01:28:52.000 But you know, Yeah, in this case it was probably really mostly about just clarifying, making sure that the story came through.

01:29:01.000 Curse of knowledge stuff.

01:29:02.000 Yeah, came through really, really clear.

01:29:04.000 Yeah, a lot of times- Sometimes you know your story so well you don't realize why people- Exactly!

01:29:08.000 When the writer directs their own work, that's a- Not a big problem, but can pose a big problem.

01:29:13.000 George Lucas had that problem with some of the news.

01:29:16.000 The new episode one, for instance, is just like a fantasy in his head.

01:29:19.000 I didn't understand what the point of that movie was, to be honest, at all.

01:29:23.000 There was no villain.

01:29:24.000 It was very weird.

01:29:25.000 No poorly done villain with Darth Maul.

01:29:27.000 So I think getting the out of the writer's hands or having an advisor come in that can help you maybe direct or from the sidelines, just so you know, just because you see it and know it doesn't mean the audience does.

01:29:38.000 What else is coming?

01:29:39.000 Cabrini?

01:29:39.000 We've got Cabrini coming.

01:29:40.000 There's actually a slate of eight next year and we're shooting for 12 in 2025.

01:29:45.000 We're building a young Washington movie that kicks off.

01:29:51.000 It's a movie first.

01:29:52.000 We're doing it with John Irwin who did Jesus Revolution, I can only imagine.

01:29:56.000 American Underdog.

01:29:57.000 American Underdog.

01:29:58.000 He has the most A-plus cinema scores of any director in Hollywood.

01:30:02.000 So John's building one on the founding of America with young Washington, and his goal is to release that next year.

01:30:09.000 He's got to pass the Guild, of course.

01:30:11.000 But the idea is to launch something similar to The Chosen around the entire founding of America.

01:30:16.000 Like a series.

01:30:16.000 Oh, cool.

01:30:17.000 It's a universe.

01:30:18.000 Yeah.

01:30:18.000 Oh, wow.

01:30:18.000 A universe around the founding of America, because we haven't gone into that very much.

01:30:22.000 I'd love to play Ben Franklin.

01:30:24.000 I don't know if he was fat when he was young.

01:30:27.000 Let's roll.

01:30:27.000 You could totally do that.

01:30:31.000 I'll wear it with anything.

01:30:34.000 Take that kite up in the air.

01:30:35.000 I don't know how deep into George's life it's going to go.

01:30:37.000 That's going to be really fun.

01:30:38.000 Then the, um, so we've got that one.

01:30:41.000 We've got another one called Homestead that Neil McDonough is in as well.

01:30:44.000 And it's an end of the world one where, uh, every, all the power goes out, nuclear bomb hits and they're trying to survive on a homestead.

01:30:53.000 Essentially.

01:30:54.000 It's, it's based on our time.

01:30:56.000 Um, then there's Bonhoeffer.

01:30:59.000 Friedrich Bonhoeffer, famous pastor from Germany that fought against Hitler.

01:31:04.000 He was the most famous pastor in the country at the time.

01:31:07.000 And his biographies are some of the best-selling books ever.

01:31:14.000 But Bonhoeffer goes from pacifist Christian to saying, I will help try to assassinate the Fuhrer.

01:31:26.000 Wow.

01:31:27.000 And the difficulty of him trying to figure it out.

01:31:31.000 As a Christian.

01:31:32.000 As a Christian, what he should be doing.

01:31:33.000 And that film is, that's a big budget one.

01:31:37.000 That one we just signed like a week ago.

01:31:40.000 There is David.

01:31:41.000 It's a musical.

01:31:42.000 It's like Prince of Egypt.

01:31:44.000 Cool.

01:31:44.000 It's like the Old Testament.

01:31:46.000 And it's this beautiful animated movie for kids.

01:31:51.000 And because David was a musician, he wrote the Book of Psalms, which is just a book of songs.

01:31:56.000 It's actually like motivated.

01:31:58.000 So if you go to angel.com slash timcast and you join the angel guild, you get a vote on all the different projects and then you're going to get complimentary tickets to every single time we release a theatrical release.

01:32:10.000 And what this does, you have 175,000 people right now in the guild, but imagine it once you get a million people in the guild, then let's say Let's say half of them turn up to theaters.

01:32:22.000 Oh, it's just Yeah, you are the other complimentary tickets you taylor

01:32:27.000 swift taylor swift every single movie. That's how we change Exactly. No one can compete with either the point. They're

01:32:33.000 gonna be like they've got a Natural pole are you familiar with the like what's a venue's 0.89

01:32:37.000 natural pole? What's it?

01:32:39.000 So with you guys having a guild, you're like, oh, our movie's basically guaranteed to sell out X many seats because of the amount of people who love our movies.

01:32:46.000 That's right.

01:32:47.000 So more filmmakers come because there's guaranteed seats.

01:32:51.000 And right now we've got 175,000, which means we're doing a lot of pre-sells.

01:32:55.000 But once we hit a certain point, it's unstoppable, right?

01:32:59.000 So when you're joining the Angel Guild, you're joining this movement where you get to pick the content.

01:33:03.000 It's not us.

01:33:05.000 We're not the ones picking it.

01:33:06.000 You get to trust whatever comes up.

01:33:07.000 You get to trust what comes out.

01:33:08.000 You know it's all going to be good because the bigger the guild gets, the better it picks.

01:33:13.000 And then you get complimentary tickets, two complimentary tickets to every single movie and theaters, and you're launching these things into the stratosphere.

01:33:22.000 And the silver screen, when you go in and you have a communal experience at the theater, it changes people.

01:33:29.000 Like, you can't push pause.

01:33:30.000 There is something about not being able to press pause, even if you have to hold it for a little bit to go to the bathroom.

01:33:36.000 There's a different experience when you go to the theater.

01:33:39.000 It's like Andrew Peterson's blog, The Rabbit Room, talks about the sacrament of the cinema.

01:33:45.000 where it's almost like a sacramental experience where you walk into church,

01:33:48.000 you give up all your distractions, and you focus on the sacrament and what it means about Jesus

01:33:53.000 Christ and what he did for you, and it allows you to recharge. And people are desperate to

01:33:58.000 get away from these. When you're looking at the failures of Hollywood. So let me tell you what's

01:34:05.000 fascinating.

01:34:06.000 You guys have almost 200,000 guild members.

01:34:10.000 And you're talking about if you got to a million guild members, these are people who are contributing to a movement.

01:34:19.000 It's a movement, but the amount of revenue being generated.

01:34:22.000 will make people in Hollywood weep as they're losing money like crazy.

01:34:27.000 You guys are taking off and producing movies based on what the guild actually is,

01:34:33.000 a decentralized voting process to determine good movies.

01:34:36.000 Not only do you have a better mechanism for creating profitable films, 0.93

01:34:39.000 people are directly involved in making those of those films, whereas Hollywood is top-down garbage and it's failing. 0.84

01:34:45.000 I'm just very happy to see Hollywood get their comeuppance more and more every day. 0.57

01:34:50.000 Now, you know what would be great?

01:34:52.000 Hollywood stops the woke garbage, starts making good movies with good messages, good values, and then we say, okay, great.

01:34:59.000 That'll be a win.

01:35:00.000 That'll be a win.

01:35:01.000 It'll be a great win.

01:35:02.000 But you know what?

01:35:02.000 That would be amazing.

01:35:03.000 I'll take Angel Studios taking over and becoming the next biggest thing, where they've got guaranteed seats in the theaters, where movies are like Sound of Freedom, and less like some of the woke garbage they've been putting out.

01:35:12.000 And it's not just a bunch of repeats, right?

01:35:15.000 We can launch, if we have a guild that's passing great content, they can launch any risky movie to the moon.

01:35:24.000 Right.

01:35:25.000 It doesn't have to be IP that has franchise potential.

01:35:29.000 The IP is the guild.

01:35:30.000 Yes.

01:35:31.000 Right?

01:35:31.000 Yeah, because there's automatic buy-in.

01:35:34.000 And think about this.

01:35:34.000 Right.

01:35:36.000 My kids, whenever they're watching too much screen time, I have six kids, when they're watching too much screen time, I go to them and I'm like, kids, Harmons live on the other side of the screen.

01:35:46.000 We make the content that other people do.

01:35:48.000 We celebrate by watching once in a while, but we live on the other side of the screen.

01:35:52.000 What we're trying to do with Angel Studios is all the content's free in the Angel app.

01:35:55.000 You go to the angel.com and you can just watch all of our shows for free.

01:35:59.000 You get early access with the Guild, like Sound of Freedom right now is just in early access.

01:36:03.000 But you get to watch everything for free, but you join the community to build a movement to change the future of entertainment and live on the other side of the screen.

01:36:15.000 It's like Legos.

01:36:16.000 You spend more time building than you do playing because it's more fun.

01:36:19.000 And you get to help make the movies that are coming out.

01:36:23.000 You get to watch the early cuts.

01:36:24.000 Did you give him that video of that guy talking about the shift?

01:36:27.000 I did.

01:36:28.000 It's, uh, it should be in the email if you want to watch this guy.

01:36:32.000 We need to go to super chats before we do.

01:36:34.000 Do you ever do shoot movies at the house with the kids?

01:36:37.000 Yeah, I actually, like I gave them my old iPhone and for Christmas last year and said, here's, here's the phone.

01:36:44.000 And I only put iMovie on it and just said, go make your own.

01:36:48.000 So they're using their dolls and they're trying to You should direct them all, get them all to be actors in your movie one time.

01:36:52.000 They're going to love it.

01:36:53.000 No, because Harmon's on the other side of the screen, so he can't be actors.

01:36:57.000 Here's what I love about this.

01:37:00.000 All growing up, and everybody I know who's in Hollywood, they all say, my family was terrified that I came to Hollywood.

01:37:05.000 And 95 plus percent of people who go into Hollywood end up losing their faith.

01:37:12.000 Or their family.

01:37:13.000 Or their families.

01:37:14.000 And I want, like for me, success means that when I'm old, That my kids and my grandkids can be encouraged to go into the Hollywood business, into the film business, and not worry about being destroyed with their families and their faith.

01:37:35.000 And we've got to build a parallel system to do that.

01:37:38.000 Let's get it!

01:37:39.000 Let's go to Super Chats for now.

01:37:58.000 You should definitely be involved.

01:38:00.000 But for now, let's read what y'all got to say.

01:38:02.000 Alpha Turkey!

01:38:03.000 Just in time for Thanksgiving with the first Super Chat saying, hello there.

01:38:07.000 Well, thank you for that Super Chat.

01:38:08.000 Do you think Alpha Turkey's really stressed this time of year?

01:38:12.000 Or do you think it's okay?

01:38:13.000 No, Alpha Turkey ain't got nothing to worry about.

01:38:14.000 That's true.

01:38:15.000 If you're not dead by now, you're probably okay.

01:38:17.000 Be careful with deep frying turkeys.

01:38:18.000 I would suggest not to deep fry a turkey.

01:38:21.000 I keep seeing videos of them going up in flames.

01:38:22.000 I've always wanted to try it.

01:38:23.000 Yeah, but you do it right and it's amazing.

01:38:27.000 You just have to have a big enough space.

01:38:29.000 Yeah.

01:38:29.000 Right.

01:38:30.000 Yeah, because the water will... Not water! 0.99

01:38:32.000 No, it's oil.

01:38:33.000 It's the water in the turkey that releases the oil.

01:38:35.000 Right, right, right.

01:38:36.000 So you gotta do it.

01:38:36.000 You gotta know what you're doing.

01:38:37.000 Matthew Emmons says, could you two talk to Ryan Long and Danny Polischuk about distributing a movie with Timcast?

01:38:43.000 Could the Harmon Brothers?

01:38:45.000 So we mentioned this with Danny the other day.

01:38:47.000 On the show.

01:38:48.000 Uh, Danny said that he wrote a script.

01:38:50.000 He and Ryan wrote a script, but it's kind of dated, wouldn't work now.

01:38:52.000 And I was like, let's do a movie.

01:38:54.000 And they said, okay.

01:38:55.000 So, you know, I have no idea what I'm doing.

01:38:56.000 I don't know.

01:38:57.000 Maybe you guys would be, or the Guild, I should say, not you guys.

01:39:00.000 You guys don't matter at all.

01:39:02.000 No.

01:39:03.000 Farmers from Idaho.

01:39:05.000 We help market it.

01:39:05.000 Once it gets through, we help take it to the world.

01:39:08.000 Yeah.

01:39:09.000 But Ryan Long will be here next week, and Daniel will be coming back, and I'm going to talk to them about, you know, what do we have to do to make a good comedy film.

01:39:17.000 And our principles, so as you're prepping, if you want to come to Angel, our principles, we have what's called, we're looking for projects that amplify light.

01:39:25.000 What do you want to explain?

01:39:27.000 That's stories that are true, honest, noble, just, authentic, admirable, lovely, and excellent.

01:39:34.000 It's like a rom-com.

01:39:36.000 Yeah, could work, totally.

01:39:37.000 Rom-com could work fine.

01:39:39.000 Yeah.

01:39:39.000 We'll see how edgy Ryan and Danny want to get with it, because they're pretty edgy.

01:39:44.000 But, you know, we'll see what happens.

01:39:45.000 We'll talk to them.

01:39:46.000 Let's grab some more.

01:39:47.000 What do we got here?

01:39:48.000 Bears fan in Cheeseland.

01:39:50.000 Are you in Wisconsin?

01:39:51.000 New subscriber here.

01:39:52.000 Thanks for the content.

01:39:53.000 I imagine that means you live in Wisconsin.

01:39:54.000 You're a fan of the Bears.

01:39:55.000 Bold of you to admit that.

01:39:57.000 I remember the first time I went to Wisconsin, I was really disappointed because we went to a store, like a grocery store, and the cheese was imitation cheese product.

01:40:05.000 And we're like, what?

01:40:06.000 We're in Wisconsin!

01:40:08.000 How did this happen?

01:40:08.000 That should be treason.

01:40:09.000 Whoever runs that grocery store should be brought up on state charges. 0.99

01:40:12.000 Imitation cheese product?

01:40:13.000 I don't know.

01:40:14.000 It was a little store.

01:40:14.000 They were doing all right.

01:40:16.000 Noah Sanders says, congrats on getting SCNR back up.

01:40:19.000 It's awesome to see the movies you're making.

01:40:20.000 I just got laid off, so be on the lookout for a resume.

01:40:23.000 Stay blessed.

01:40:24.000 Yes, Scanner!

01:40:26.000 It's officially come back.

01:40:27.000 So let me tell you the story, my friends, as much as we can.

01:40:30.000 We did a crowdfund several years ago.

01:40:32.000 It's a long time ago now.

01:40:33.000 This is like, what, 2019 or something?

01:40:35.000 Before?

01:40:35.000 Oh yeah, yeah.

01:40:36.000 Oh Jesus, before that.

01:40:37.000 It was 2018.

01:40:38.000 Yeah, it was 18.

01:40:39.000 Wow.

01:40:40.000 We raised a million dollars in 22 hours.

01:40:42.000 It was the fastest crowd investment in the U.S.

01:40:45.000 at the time.

01:40:46.000 And we launched a company called Subverse to produce news and documentaries and ground and field reporting.

01:40:51.000 And let me just give you the simple version of it.

01:40:53.000 There was a lawsuit.

01:40:55.000 You can read the documents, they're all public.

01:40:56.000 I can't say much about it because of the lawsuit.

01:40:59.000 But it basically froze the company, in a matter of speaking.

01:41:02.000 We have resolved those issues, and since the resolution, which was quite a while ago, I should say there was a court resolution followed by...

01:41:12.000 Long period of cutting, you know, tying up loose ends and resolving a lot of these issues, which finally resulted in us, as of today, officially relaunching.

01:41:23.000 The TimCast News Team is now the SCNR News Team.

01:41:26.000 They're back, and we're glad it's happening.

01:41:29.000 We're working with, of course, Bill Ottman of Mines is involved, for sure.

01:41:32.000 We're really excited that we're gonna have this project.

01:41:35.000 So, there were a lot of people who had invested in it.

01:41:38.000 And I'll tell you the frustrating thing.

01:41:40.000 People are saying like, I demand answers.

01:41:41.000 You know, I invested in this project.

01:41:43.000 And it's like, I am legally not allowed to say anything when you're involved in these cases.

01:41:49.000 So it's like, you can't even respond to someone and say, sorry.

01:41:52.000 All we can do is say, here, please read this legal document that was published.

01:41:55.000 Have a nice day.

01:41:56.000 Like, you can't say anything.

01:41:58.000 So it's been resolved.

01:41:59.000 We still can't, you know, this is like how it works.

01:42:01.000 We, for the most part, can't talk about it.

01:42:04.000 But anyone who wants to can read all of the court documents, see for themselves exactly what happened, and just know that we never stopped working on the project, and the project is back, and we are going to bring it back from what I would only describe as insolvency.

01:42:19.000 You can read all about the court case to understand what I'm talking about, but it's going to require a lot of heavy lifting on all of our parts, but it's what needs to happen, it's what should happen, and the people who invested in that project all those years ago still have their stake as it stands.

01:42:35.000 Good on you.

01:42:36.000 We went through a similar experience.

01:42:38.000 Big lawsuit, crowdfunded company, and we went through bankruptcy.

01:42:44.000 And you had people being like, why aren't you giving me all the information?

01:42:47.000 You're like, you can't say anything.

01:42:51.000 It's hard to actually even explain why, but for the basics of it, it's like, there's strategic and legal reasons.

01:42:57.000 They're like, you cannot talk about this.

01:42:59.000 If I like someone totally unrelated… It's just the way the court systems work.

01:43:03.000 Court systems work that way to where if you say something, you're actually potentially hurting all their investments.

01:43:08.000 Right.

01:43:09.000 Oh, and then it just opens up the door for a lot more.

01:43:11.000 So, as it pertains to this, I think the official thing is the people involved in the company cannot speak of or induce anyone to speak of what happened.

01:43:22.000 But if I were to just do it, and then I'm not involved at all, and then you're like, well, here's a link to a video of a guy explaining it.

01:43:28.000 That's legal?

01:43:29.000 Nope.

01:43:29.000 No, not allowed.

01:43:30.000 You can't get involved?

01:43:30.000 Can't do that.

01:43:31.000 I can't even be like, watch this, guys.

01:43:31.000 Yep.

01:43:33.000 I can say, here are the court documents.

01:43:34.000 You can read them for yourself.

01:43:35.000 That's it.

01:43:36.000 If anybody were to make a video, I could not be like, oh, look at this video.

01:43:40.000 Can't do it.

01:43:41.000 It's crazy.

01:43:42.000 It's crazy how that works.

01:43:44.000 And let's just say we're all very disappointed, but we're excited that things are getting... The brand is hot, dude.

01:43:50.000 Scanner.

01:43:51.000 I like it.

01:43:51.000 It's a very sci-fi.

01:43:52.000 And we had a lot of great stuff.

01:43:53.000 We had a lot of great stuff.

01:43:55.000 And if anyone's wondering what happened, you can read the court documents.

01:43:58.000 I'm at scnr.com right now looking at it.

01:44:01.000 Looks good.

01:44:01.000 Yeah.

01:44:01.000 And it's just getting started.

01:44:02.000 We got something up that we could.

01:44:04.000 We had to do a lot of infrastructure work.

01:44:06.000 It was expensive and it's worth it.

01:44:08.000 I'm excited for it.

01:44:10.000 But there's a lot of other stuff involved.

01:44:12.000 We're going to be working on documentaries.

01:44:14.000 The stuff from Eilat is now going to be published on Scanner.

01:44:16.000 The Twitter account will stay the same.

01:44:17.000 TimCastNews is going to be reposting these things.

01:44:20.000 And TimCastNews, of course, will use the articles as sources and things like that.

01:44:24.000 But TimCastNews will not be publishing Uh, day-to-day news stories.

01:44:28.000 However, TimCast.com still will have special articles and things like that.

01:44:33.000 And, uh, nothing else is changing.

01:44:35.000 So, super excited.

01:44:37.000 All right, let's go!

01:44:38.000 Let's see, uh, let's see, uh, let's see what we got.

01:44:41.000 Zacchaeus and Brannigan Deeds says, saw After Death this week.

01:44:44.000 Thanks.

01:44:45.000 Tim, when can we look into a running, uh, running a coffee shop?

01:44:48.000 I'm an entrepreneur in Oregon and would like to, uh, counterculture here.

01:44:52.000 So, uh, the snowball's rolling down the hill.

01:44:56.000 The good news is I'm hearing from, uh, the people working on the project.

01:44:59.000 Things are picking up speed.

01:45:01.000 The equipment has arrived, and we hopefully will have this up and running.

01:45:05.000 It was supposed to be.

01:45:06.000 We thought it was gonna be up and running earlier this year.

01:45:07.000 That's how crazy it was.

01:45:08.000 We bought a building, we, like, started doing all the work, and then all of a sudden permits resulted in, oh, you gotta fix this, you gotta fix this, you gotta fix this, and it just never ended.

01:45:15.000 And, uh, but we're getting there.

01:45:17.000 And we're working with Chef Andrew Greuel on the expansion plans, so stay tuned for that.

01:45:23.000 Super exciting.

01:45:24.000 And then we're building a... Oh, you know what we need to do?

01:45:27.000 We're building an anti-Times Square in Martinsburg, West Virginia.

01:45:32.000 So this is where we're putting our coffee shop, right?

01:45:35.000 And so we were talking with Terrence Williams about a Cousin T's Diner, because he's got Cousin T's Pancakes.

01:45:41.000 And I'm like, the local diner is like going out of business and we don't know what's going on.

01:45:46.000 We should revive it, Cousin T's Diner.

01:45:49.000 We should do a series of businesses all downtown Martinsburg that are parallel economy.

01:45:55.000 We gotta put up an Angel Studios movie theater.

01:45:58.000 Oh, that'd be so cool.

01:45:59.000 In Martinsburg, West Virginia.

01:46:00.000 That'd be so cool.

01:46:01.000 Yup, and then it's just... That'd be really fun.

01:46:03.000 Yeah, you have the new movies, you have regular movies in rotation that you guys want to have, ones that fit your values, but also just like... And ones that you guys get behind, TimCast, the movies you really like, we could go do special screenings there.

01:46:16.000 But documentaries, because we just put out Infringed, so there's a lot you could do.

01:46:20.000 I don't know, it's up to you guys, but we've... Terrence Williams is definitely interested in something.

01:46:25.000 He actually gave us the idea by mentioning he wanted to do this diner.

01:46:28.000 And we have the paperwork with Andrew Groll, we're finalizing.

01:46:31.000 And then we are going to, the general idea is we want to create,

01:46:34.000 we've got all these prominent individuals that are fighting the culture war.

01:46:37.000 And I'm like, let's create brick and mortar shops for all these different personalities that fit their brand

01:46:44.000 for what they're interested in and into and promoting.

01:46:46.000 And then set up all over the country.

01:46:48.000 So with Cast Brew Coffee, I'm like, imagine if we had a thousand of these through-

01:46:52.000 Coffee shops.

01:46:53.000 Yeah, coffee shops.

01:46:54.000 Now imagine this.

01:46:55.000 Imagine some guy or woman walks in for their morning coffee and as they're waiting for it,

01:47:00.000 there's a TV screen playing Crowder, Timcast IRL, or some other show, Joe Rogan, whatever.

01:47:06.000 That's going to expose our side of the culture war and parallel economy to regular people when we put this up next to, you know, a Walmart or something.

01:47:13.000 Now imagine Saturday night at the coffee shop is, you know, normal hours are till eight, but this night we're doing a screening for an Angel Studios, you know, movie that came out a little while ago, come hang out, get together.

01:47:23.000 What we want to do is something called Saturday morning cartoons.

01:47:26.000 Where, on Saturday mornings, families come with their kids, the TVs are playing wholesome cartoons, we do catering, and this creates, like, builds up community between families.

01:47:35.000 We've got a bunch of cartoons we could help you out with there.

01:47:38.000 Exactly.

01:47:38.000 Tuttle Twins.

01:47:39.000 Yup.

01:47:39.000 Tuttle Twins.

01:47:40.000 Winged Feather Saga.

01:47:41.000 David.

01:47:42.000 Young David.

01:47:42.000 Yeah, but an Angel Studios movie theater in Martinsburg.

01:47:47.000 That'd be cool.

01:47:48.000 Send us the info.

01:47:49.000 We'll figure it out.

01:47:50.000 We're so far away from it.

01:47:52.000 I mean, I feel like if there was someone who was like a billionaire culture warrior, they could be like, I'll hire 10 guys right now, we'll get the ball rolling.

01:48:00.000 For me, it's like we got 800 things, you know, on all these different...

01:48:04.000 You know, so the paperwork's moving forward with Jeff Andrew Greuel, but we can only go as fast as we can.

01:48:09.000 So hopefully... The fastest way to get there, I think, to that is if we can get the Angel Guild big enough to escape Velocity.

01:48:17.000 Yeah.

01:48:17.000 Essentially, like, we just need to figure out kind of a deeper partnership to where we're working with everybody who's like-minded and making sure it's a win for everybody.

01:48:27.000 There's a theater across the street from us that hosted an all-ages drag show.

01:48:31.000 Perhaps we can buy it and turn it into a movie theater and stop having those kinds of things.

01:48:36.000 Yeah, the people in the community are really pissed off because they had a pride event where they had children dancing with drag queens and stuff like that, and the locals are offended.

01:48:44.000 I mean, they find this stuff to be in violation of West Virginia state law, which they clearly outline, and they're wondering why nothing's being done about it.

01:48:51.000 Well, it's because wokeness pushed its way into these areas, and so we're gonna push back and say, look, man, If the people who live here are saying this goes against their values and they have laws against it, we need something to change.

01:49:05.000 And we'll see where we go with it.

01:49:06.000 We didn't talk about after death much, and I do want to keep going with Super Chats, but how's it doing?

01:49:10.000 This is the documentary you guys released a few months ago?

01:49:13.000 Best-selling documentary since COVID, period.

01:49:16.000 And it's the number one faith documentary in history.

01:49:18.000 It's about people experiencing life after death, what do they call it, near-death experiences and things like that?

01:49:24.000 Yeah.

01:49:25.000 And it's in the Guild right now.

01:49:26.000 If you become a member of the Guild, you can actually just watch it right now.

01:49:29.000 Oh, really?

01:49:29.000 Because we just, as we're moving Thanksgiving, it's moving out of theaters because the big movies are coming in, which means it's going straight into the Guild.

01:49:37.000 Guild gets everything first.

01:49:38.000 Yeah.

01:49:38.000 So if you go to theangel.com slash timcast, you can just start watching this.

01:49:41.000 But this movie, what they do is they go through and they take the scientific documentation around what people have experienced when they died and then they came back.

01:49:51.000 You know, people have been, were dead completely, like no brain activity type situations for 30 minutes or 90 minutes.

01:49:57.000 Multiple continents, different faiths, just all types of people looking for patterns.

01:50:02.000 And then they look for patterns and they see that there are people who are in surgeries and have experiences where they see things that are happening and they explain it to the surgeon after the fact, and the surgeon's like, they can't know that.

01:50:16.000 It's impossible for them to know that because they're having an out-of-body experience.

01:50:20.000 Wow.

01:50:21.000 Stuff like there'd be a coin up on top of something and they'll see the coin.

01:50:24.000 No, they describe the tools.

01:50:25.000 Yeah, they describe what the doctor's tools that they're using to operate on them.

01:50:31.000 I've heard that there was a cupboard.

01:50:35.000 They're watching their own ambulance get to the hospital and they're following it.

01:50:39.000 Someone wrote something on a paper and had it on top of a cupboard, and then someone who was having a near-death experience said what was on top of it.

01:50:47.000 And they were just like, how could you have possibly known?

01:50:50.000 There was no point at which you were consciously walking around the room.

01:50:53.000 You were on your deathbed the whole time.

01:50:55.000 And they were like, I saw it.

01:50:55.000 Here's what it says.

01:50:56.000 Everything's vibrating and your soul is attuned to that.

01:50:59.000 Well, and they talk about it as more real.

01:51:01.000 This is what's crazy.

01:51:02.000 Almost all of them say this experience was more real to me than life.

01:51:07.000 I was alive, and then I was more alive.

01:51:10.000 More alive.

01:51:10.000 Oh, that's freaky!

01:51:13.000 I think it's purported to lose 7 grams when the human body dies.

01:51:17.000 Yeah, I've heard that.

01:51:17.000 Have you guys ever heard of that?

01:51:18.000 On near-death experience, do they lose the 7 and then regain the 7?

01:51:22.000 I don't know.

01:51:22.000 Some of these guys are completely crushed in car accidents, and their bodies are completely destroyed.

01:51:27.000 Dead for 90 minutes.

01:51:28.000 Yeah.

01:51:29.000 Clinically.

01:51:30.000 There's stuff that's just bonkers.

01:51:34.000 They're drowned for significant periods of time.

01:51:37.000 And about 23% of after-death experiences reported are a hellish experience and then the rest describe it as light and love.

01:51:47.000 So it's after death.

01:51:49.000 It's technically they've died and then they come back to life.

01:51:51.000 Yes.

01:51:52.000 Yeah. 0.56

01:51:52.000 Crazy. 0.56

01:51:53.000 And even like there's, um, when, when you go and watch it inside the app, when you get in the angel app and you watch it, there are dozens of videos of people that have watched the movie and then they submitted their own experiences.

01:52:08.000 Yes.

01:52:08.000 So there's a community of people joining and they're saying, Hey, this is what I experienced.

01:52:12.000 This is what I experienced.

01:52:14.000 I read a book on this 20 years ago, 19 years ago.

01:52:17.000 And, uh, it was fascinating because it was like, It was a skeptic who wrote a book who was an atheist secular guy who said that his goal was basically to analyze this through any other academic survey and what he found was 80-90% of the interviews he did, it was almost the same story regardless of external circumstance.

01:52:40.000 Like the a lot of people say oh they see a bright light because they're in an operating table And he was like actually we found that people who are having near-death experiences outside of hospital settings car accidents gunshot wounds, etc Experience the same thing either and and they meet relatives.

01:52:54.000 Yeah, they have life reviews Like that's something that's different than like a review.

01:52:59.000 Yeah, they have instead of psychedelic experiences They'll meet their relatives or they meet like They meet God and then they have a life review where they go through their life like in the Scrooge movie Yeah, kind of.

01:53:10.000 It's really interesting how some of these movies that do really well, if you look, it's a wonderful life.

01:53:15.000 He goes back through his life and he overcomes his trauma and he's healed.

01:53:20.000 And in Scrooge, these writers tapped into something deeper about Like, more eternal, because they're going back through their lives in these stories, and then they're completely healed by the end of the movie.

01:53:33.000 And these resonate deeply with people.

01:53:35.000 Well, and it comes at a time when therapy-speak is on the rise.

01:53:38.000 You have lots of people, especially young people, and I applaud those who say, you know, I want to get better, I want to understand myself more, whatever else, but it's like, are you actually fully reflecting on your life and the choices you made, or are you holding yourself accountable?

01:53:49.000 Right.

01:53:49.000 True honesty.

01:53:50.000 Let's read some more Superchats.

01:53:51.000 We got T-Rex Pet Shop says, Judge in Georgia just ruled the cybersecurity flaws of voting machines unconstitutional.

01:53:57.000 I saw that.

01:53:57.000 Big win for voting security.

01:53:59.000 What kind of food will you get for Seamus?

01:54:01.000 The type from T-Rex Pet Shop, right?

01:54:04.000 Yes!

01:54:05.000 Yes, we will.

01:54:06.000 So, well, that's good news.

01:54:08.000 Seamus is in his cage, and he's very nice, and he's been getting along, and he's very hungry.

01:54:15.000 He will eat anything and just snarl it down.

01:54:19.000 But the vet said that he's very loving, has had human contact before, so if he loses a litter box, then he's good to come inside.

01:54:29.000 Probably not in the castle, because this is Bocas territory. 1.00

01:54:31.000 I was thinking the same thing.

01:54:32.000 Yeah, Bocas can't be stressed out. 1.00

01:54:33.000 He's little.

01:54:33.000 Seamus is little, right?

01:54:34.000 He's like a year old?

01:54:34.000 No, he's big.

01:54:35.000 No, no, I meant like age.

01:54:37.000 He's young.

01:54:39.000 Yeah, he's like eight or nine months.

01:54:40.000 And this is crazy, because once we got news that Mr. Bocas was sick, I was asking, like, should we get a kitten so that Bocas can teach the kitten? 0.78

01:54:48.000 And then when Bocas passes, because he's really sick, then the kitten will have that spark of Mr. Bocas.

01:54:54.000 And the crazy thing is, around this time, within a month or two of this, Seamus was born and then lived on our property over the past several months and was living in our garage.

01:55:06.000 And now we have, uh, he's probably eight to ten months, ten months old.

01:55:09.000 Brought him to the vet, got him shots and got him no fleas, no ticks.

01:55:13.000 He got dewormed, all that good stuff.

01:55:15.000 And he's, uh, he's fat and happy.

01:55:17.000 Has the cartoonist publicly commented on being demoted to the second Seamus?

01:55:21.000 Demoted?

01:55:22.000 When was he ever the first Seamus?

01:55:24.000 He was the only Seamus.

01:55:25.000 Jeez, Santa Clare.

01:55:26.000 I assume he was demoted because you didn't, you know, offer him the number one slot even though he's been around for a while.

01:55:32.000 He was demoted?

01:55:32.000 No, he was just replaced by a cat.

01:55:33.000 Yeah, he was deranked because he's a thief.

01:55:35.000 So he was deranked. 0.92

01:55:36.000 Just kidding, Seamus.

01:55:39.000 It's mostly just a joke.

01:55:40.000 It's mostly a love shot.

01:55:42.000 Mostly.

01:55:43.000 We were driving the car and I was calling the cat Mew Mew.

01:55:46.000 And, uh, because I was saying Mew Mew to it, and then we were like, we should come up with a name, and then, you know, as we're driving to go get food with Seamus, I was like, we're gonna call him Seamus.

01:55:54.000 Because Seamus is leaving, and I was like, that way when Seamus is gone, we can still say something like, oh, oh no, Seamus pooped on the floor again.

01:56:00.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:56:03.000 And then when I was walking outside, talking to Allison, I was like, we gotta take Seamus to go get his balls cut off. 0.98

01:56:11.000 And then Seamus walks up and goes, what? 0.99

01:56:13.000 And I was like, not you!

01:56:14.000 Talking about Seamus 1, not Seamus 2. 0.68

01:56:17.000 Yeah, we should never talk about James, too, because he leaves, he's flaky, he's into cartoons, he's a weirdo.

01:56:22.000 Mr. Bokas is actually doing a lot better.

01:56:24.000 I think it's the stem cells.

01:56:25.000 Yeah, and he's eating a lot more.

01:56:26.000 His kidney function improved, he gained weight.

01:56:28.000 Gonna let the pharmaceuticals, like, go easy on the pharma, because they will just be like, hey, here's another pill.

01:56:33.000 Oh, it has side effects.

01:56:34.000 Here's another pill to counter the side effects.

01:56:35.000 But before you take that, here's another pill to counter the side effects.

01:56:38.000 It's like, dude.

01:56:38.000 This happens with dogs?

01:56:40.000 There's a cat.

01:56:41.000 Apparently, just modern veterinary medicine is like pill, pill, pill, pill, pill.

01:56:44.000 It's all pharmaceutical medicine.

01:56:46.000 Yeah, man.

01:56:46.000 Stem cells are magic.

01:56:47.000 It's like a new technology.

01:56:48.000 Here's what happens with a lot of people, just medicine in general.

01:56:51.000 Someone gets a cough.

01:56:52.000 So they say, take this pill for your cough.

01:56:54.000 The cough causes dehydration.

01:56:55.000 They say, okay, now take this liquid solution for your dehydration.

01:56:58.000 The pill causes dehydration.

01:56:59.000 Right, right, right.

01:57:00.000 And then, right, yeah, the pill causes dehydration.

01:57:02.000 And then they're saying, okay, well now you gotta take this pill to counteract that side effect, and then eventually you're on seven pills.

01:57:07.000 And you're like, I'm taking all these pills to counteract all the problems from the other pills.

01:57:10.000 Meanwhile, they're all slowly hurting you in some way.

01:57:13.000 It's just, in my opinion, I don't know enough.

01:57:14.000 I'm not a doctor, but I see, I watch with my own eyes the guy struggling to move around after the seventh pill, and I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:57:21.000 Yeah.

01:57:22.000 Let the body heal.

01:57:23.000 All right.

01:57:24.000 Shider Alpha says, my favorite Mr. Beast video is, after recent backlash, I will be re-blinding 1,000 people.

01:57:32.000 Like, what do people expect from this dude?

01:57:34.000 I think it's great that Mr. Beast's whole brand is like, I'm gonna do a really good thing for people to get famous and make money and I'm like, oh, okay.

01:57:41.000 That's like, that's amazing.

01:57:42.000 Yeah, like what else should we be doing?

01:57:43.000 Like, I don't know, selling cheeseburgers?

01:57:46.000 That's fine too, I guess.

01:57:49.000 If somebody's gonna get famous, that's a really good reason to be famous.

01:57:52.000 And there are, like, YouTubers who've gotten in trouble for, like, being like, oh, we're gonna host this competition, and it's gonna raise money, and we'll donate it to charity, and then they don't, right?

01:58:00.000 They're gonna go back in time and be like, we can't celebrate Mother Teresa because she helped so many people become famous.

01:58:05.000 In some ways, because Mr. Beast films the stuff, like, at least there is evidence against He's doing the stuff he says he's gonna do.

01:58:11.000 He's not like telling you a story and there's a lie behind it.

01:58:14.000 He's not like, next week we're gonna... I mean he just puts out the video.

01:58:18.000 And he also didn't get famous doing this stuff.

01:58:19.000 He got famous grinding 10-12 hours a day making Minecraft content.

01:58:24.000 And then he put that money into doing this great stuff like paying off his mom's house.

01:58:28.000 Yeah, it's pretty amazing.

01:58:29.000 Beans says, Ian, the moment when you asked Ron Paul if he plays Dungeons and Dragons, that was the pinnacle moment of podcasting.

01:58:36.000 My sides have not yet returned from orbit.

01:58:38.000 Oh, good.

01:58:39.000 I needed to know in order to have a conversation properly.

01:58:42.000 Yes, yes.

01:58:43.000 I wonder if he's checked it out since.

01:58:45.000 Operation Outstanding in Field says, I'm joining the cavalry!

01:58:48.000 I've upgraded to Premium Plus.

01:58:49.000 I'm buying ads, 10k now, till end of 2024, promoting my GBS and mandated jab videos.

01:58:58.000 Hold the line.

01:58:59.000 Axe Elon Musk lawsuit on MM.

01:59:05.000 Hear, hear.

01:59:05.000 Thanks for the super chat.

01:59:08.000 Lethal Strains says Matt Reif is attacked the same time Ibram X. Kendi's movie comes out on Netflix.

01:59:14.000 Oh, did it?

01:59:15.000 I don't know.

01:59:15.000 Who cares?

01:59:15.000 Yeah.

01:59:16.000 That guy's fizzling out.

01:59:18.000 Good.

01:59:19.000 It's a good time.

01:59:20.000 It's a good time.

01:59:21.000 Squidbugs Anonymous says, Malay vowing to dismantle regulation on an already crumbling society seems like a great way to see more corruption, exploitation, economic inequality, and environmental destruction. 1.00

01:59:30.000 Nice try.

01:59:31.000 Absolutely not.

01:59:32.000 Cutting all those costs are going to be great for decentralization to start solving its own problems.

01:59:38.000 Which I look forward to.

01:59:41.000 What have we here?

01:59:44.000 Poison Fist says, New York appellate court tossed quarantine camp lawsuit paving the way for government kidnapping, hospitalization, detainment without evidence and diagnosis.

01:59:52.000 Yikes.

01:59:53.000 We saw that bill during COVID, where New York said that if they think you're sick, they can just take you and lock you up.

01:59:59.000 Welcome to your brave new world!

02:00:00.000 Did you see Kathy Hochul's press conference today, where she was like, we're going to expand the Division of Homeland Security's, like, basically she's saying, like, on college campuses, we're going to have additional training so that we can train students to spot online fiction from online fact and can get better at recognizing conspiracy theories.

02:00:18.000 And it's like, even listening to it, I'm like, this is so dystopian.

02:00:22.000 Where is your, who is your speechwriter?

02:00:24.000 This is crazy.

02:00:24.000 They've taken their mask off.

02:00:25.000 You guys might have a new movie in the works here, just Kathy Hochul's life.

02:00:29.000 All right, Katoth Swiss says, you sir went to the wrong cheese store.

02:00:32.000 Don't be besmirching Wisconsin's good name.

02:00:35.000 Here, here.

02:00:36.000 Yeah, Wisconsin is the land of cheese, man.

02:00:38.000 Like they have the cheese hats.

02:00:41.000 Yeah.

02:00:41.000 You got good stuff going on in Wisconsin.

02:00:42.000 We were driving through and there was a sign that's like, you can buy cheese here.

02:00:45.000 And we just pulled off in this farm and they just had tons of like, it was amazing.

02:00:48.000 Amazing.

02:00:49.000 I stopped at a maple farm a couple of weeks ago.

02:00:50.000 It was awesome.

02:00:51.000 We got maple everything.

02:00:53.000 It's like an eighth generation maple farm.

02:00:55.000 It's crazy.

02:00:56.000 Like going back to the late 1600s or something.

02:00:58.000 Because they were saying that back in the day, maple was how you got sugar.

02:01:03.000 Yeah.

02:01:05.000 That was what you used.

02:01:05.000 Yeah, so they would make maple sugar by drying it out and then pulverizing it.

02:01:10.000 Brown sugar.

02:01:11.000 And processed white sugar was very expensive back then.

02:01:15.000 Comes from beats.

02:01:16.000 Right.

02:01:17.000 Crazy, crazy.

02:02:11.000 Hi, I'm Hancliff Rimlow.
