00:00Acting's all about honesty. If you can fake that, you've got it made. Those were the words
00:07of legendary actor George Burns. Politicians are actors. You come off as fake and you don't
00:13get a sequel. Kamala Harris is trying to fake her way into another movie and they're producing
00:17it for her.
00:19She's a chameleon. She pretends to be one thing in front of one audience. She pretends
00:23to be something different in front of another audience. Look, Dana, she's not running a
00:27political campaign. She's running a movie. She only speaks to voters behind a teleprompter.
00:34Everything is scripted.
00:35The media is trying to produce a Kamala Harris Cinderella story and pretending no one notices
00:39the soundtrack, costumes and props.
00:42The entire Kamala Harris campaign has been organic. And so now we're what? Organic. This
00:48is the literal most manufactured presidential campaign ever. She didn't even run. It's the
00:54opposite. If you believe that, I got no.
01:00The script's already stale. The jump for joy could be heading back to earth. The Wall
01:05Street Journal says many inside the Harris camp believe they can ride the magic carpet
01:10of left leaning media bias.
01:12But Cinderella stories get stale fast in our social media driven short attention span world.
01:18And when they do, the media looks quickly for the counter narrative. The worm always
01:22turns when it does. No reporter wants to be left behind.
01:27Reporters are worrying because the DNC didn't move the needle. Morning Consult. Harris gets
01:32no boost from Democratic Convention. You gov poll. No bounce for Harris. Street vendors
01:38in New York City say they can't sell Kamala hats.
01:43So I see you have a Trump hat, but there's no Kamala hat. Where do you get the hats from?
01:48And why? Why only Trump? Yeah, for him. Let's go. Let the Kamala know sending them down to
01:54come on at the Trump. He only for the business. So the Trump has sell more in New York. Yeah.
02:02The people buy more. Trump has MAGA hats are selling in Manhattan, but Kamala merch is
02:08collecting dust. Well, it makes sense because Kamala can't even sell herself after the convention.
02:14State nominees barnstormed the battlegrounds, but Kamala took the week off. Today, she talked
02:19to high school students at band practice.
02:22Our country is counting on all of you. You are leaders by the very fact that you all
02:30are here in this room doing what you do at this incredible school, doing it as one big
02:37team, understanding all the different parts that fit together to create a team.
02:47Imagine that for four years. I don't know if she realizes it, but most high school kids
02:51can't vote. And where the crowds go. Same thing happened in twenty nineteen. She made
02:57a big, splashy entrance, huge crowds during media. And once voters focused on her, she
03:02fizzled out. We're watching the fizzle. Kamala peaked last week and hasn't won a single
03:08news cycle since RFK endorsed Trump. She's getting cooked by Republicans and the media
03:14can't defend her because they don't know what she believes. And neither does the Harris
03:18campaign. They stole no tax on tips, build the wall. And now Kamala says she's not for
03:24electric car mandates, even though she just said she was.
03:29Will everyone have to drive electric cars? Well, by my plan, by twenty forty five, we
03:33will have basically zero emission vehicles only 100 percent. The media is asking the
03:40Kamala Harris campaign why she keeps changing positions and the Kamala Harris campaign can't
03:46even answer. The vice president has changed her position on fracking in Pennsylvania.
03:51Do you know why she's changed her position? Listen, I mean, she's been very clear here.
03:57She's proud of the work that she's done as a part of this administration, making sure
04:02that American energy production is at an all time high. But on fracking, was there something
04:06that changed her mind specifically during the four years of the Biden presidency?
04:12No, listen, again, the vice president is very proud of the Biden Harris administration's
04:18record on energy production and the economy at large.
04:22You gave the same answer both times, which was nothing. The media is more confused with
04:26the Harris people than they are with the Biden people, because at least Biden knew
04:30his own policies. So how's the media supposed to defend the Harris campaign if the Harris
04:35campaign can't even defend themselves? Unrealized gains, taxing unrealized gains just doesn't
04:41seem fair in any sense of the word. In the very best sense, if you are taxing unrealized
04:47gains, all you're doing is pulling forward the taxes that would be paid later when someone
04:51actually sells the stock.
04:53I think that this reaction to unrealized gains is a little funny, given that I bet that the
04:57majority of people watching right now are already paying a tax on unrealized gains.
05:01It's called a property tax. When the value of your home goes up, you pay higher taxes
05:09even if you don't sell your home.
05:10Your value of your home never moves the way a stock moves, the way something else moves.
05:15It's also property tax is a use tax. You're paying for the schools, you're paying for
05:20emergency services. Those are things that make absolute sense.
05:24These Kamala surrogates are well-paid professional spinners and they're getting roasted on cable.
05:29They're getting laughed at and eye rolled out of the studio like it's their first time
05:32on TV because they don't know what they're talking about. They just hide, plagiarize
05:37Trump's policies and think nobody's going to notice.
05:40The president called me and he said, you know, the crazy thing is, J.D., that Kamala Harris,
05:45she's pretending that she agrees with us on everything. And if you look at her campaign
05:49the past week and a half, she pretends that she agrees with Donald J. Trump on every issue.
05:54She is running a copycat campaign. And I said, Mr. President, I think I figured out what's
05:59going on.
06:00She wants my job. She's realizing that they don't have a chance. She's going to ditch
06:05Tim Walz and she wants to run alongside Donald Trump. She's pretending she agrees with you
06:09on everything. But we can't let her pretend, ladies and gentlemen. We have to remind people
06:14of the real record.
06:16Trump's the victim of identity theft. He should lock her up when he wins.
06:20And Biden's so unpopular, Harris doesn't want anything to do with him. After the coup, they
06:24made Biden take a 20 day vacation. So no one remembers Kamala as his VP. It's hard to forget
06:31since Kamala was borders are bragging about Bidenomics and how she was the last one in
06:36the room with Joe before he left Afghanistan. Kamala has been devastated by J.D. all week.
06:42She's running around the Rust Belt, taking her apart. And the media can't defend her
06:46because everything Vance says is true. So Politico covered it this way. Vance tries
06:52to tether Harris to Biden during Michigan rally. The media is arguing Harris isn't a
06:58part of the Biden Harris administration.
07:00Well, why would they do that if Joe belongs on Mount Rushmore? Right. Shouldn't Kamala
07:06be proud to be his VP? A month ago, Democrats were not proud that Kamala was VP.
07:13Five weeks ago, she was known as a joke. She was known as a terrible vice president.
07:21Laughed at, scoffed at. They wanted him out, but they didn't want her.
07:26They would have done anything to get anybody on the list. You know, they had a list of
07:3010 people and they put her on the list and she came in 11th. She was the last on the list.
07:35Then all of a sudden they realized that's not going to be politically acceptable.
07:40They didn't want to do it. They didn't have the guts to make that move.
07:44And they ended up with her. And then the fake news media, of course, got right behind her.
07:48Her handlers don't even trust her to survive a softball CNN interview.
07:53So Coach Walls is going to chaperone tomorrow night at night.
07:57I think it's incredibly weak, weak sauce to show up with your running mate. The fact that they
08:03don't have enough confidence in her to let her sit herself, the actual top of the ticket
08:08and do a single interview. In fact, I think the hand wringing and the
08:11gyrations over this over the last month show a troubling lack of confidence in her political
08:17ability, which also makes you wonder as a voter, what kind of president would you be
08:20if this kind of a small time decision? Can we do an interview or not?
08:24What does that look like for your decision making process?
08:27A lady who holds a mock dinner party to prepare for a dinner party cannot be commander in chief.
08:33Insecure and riddled with anxiety is not the way you want to walk into the most stressful
08:37job in the world. Being president is an address rehearsal.
08:42I will tell you, I was in a band when I was your age.
08:45It requires a whole lot of rehearsal, a whole lot of practice, long hours, right?
08:51Sometimes you hit the notes, sometimes you don't.
08:55Kamala is a nervous wreck who can't be trusted with the nuclear codes.
08:59This job's not for her. The only actor that can be president's Reagan.
09:04So rip up the script. The real Kamala likes outer space.
09:08She likes Venn diagrams, Stevie Wonder and school buses.
09:12She likes to laugh. She's not into policy.
09:15She doesn't know anything about it. The first time she took the bar exam,
09:19she failed. She thought you put gas in an electric car.
09:23She's been riding all around in a bus all day in Georgia with Tiananmen
09:27Tim high fiving and hugging kids who can't vote.
09:30Is the bus electric? No, she's against electric buses now.
09:36America, first legal founder and former senior advisor to Trump.
09:39Stephen Miller is here. Where first of all, where are you,
09:43Miller? What mysterious land are you hailing from right now?
09:48I'm in a very, very top secret location, helping to work with a team of very talented people
09:55on getting the criminal migrants out of our country when Donald Trump wins.
09:58So for obvious reasons, Jesse, we cannot disclose that location, as I'm sure you understand.
10:03OK, good. We don't want any security threats. You are saving the world one day at a time.
10:08Kamala Harris. Explain her to me, please. I don't understand what she wants,
10:14how she's going to do what she wants and no one else does.
10:19I don't understand why you're so confused, Jesse. It's very, very simple. Kamala Harris
10:26worked for Joe Biden, but also never met him and has no involvement with any of his policies.
10:32She was vice president for three and a half years, but never actually showed up to work,
10:37except when she did show up to work. She was incredible, but nobody ever saw her there and
10:41she had nothing to do with the border except for when she was borders are. It's a very clear,
10:45crisp narrative, Jesse. Obviously, they're going to take all the way to Election Day.
10:50Also, this CNN plant is absolutely brilliant because what better way to show you're ready
10:56to take on Putin, to take on G, to take on ISIS, to take on the drug cartels,
11:01to take on America's former enemies than to show that you have the moxie as a liberal Democrat
11:07to sit down in a taped, edited interview with a babysitter named Tim Walls across from Dada
11:15if that doesn't show courage, Jesse. I mean, think about it. This is a liberal Democrat
11:20staring down Dana Bash in an interview that she can edit with Tim Walls minding her the entire
11:26time. I mean, Normandy, the invasion of Normandy wasn't courageous compared to this.
11:32You know, the thought process going into this middle of the Delaware,
11:37you know, they took thirty nine days to decide to do CNN. It's it's not like they went in and
11:43go into 60 minutes or less time landing. Those the guys that were at mission control spent less
11:52time figuring out how to get a man onto the moon than it took for them to figure out they could do
11:58a taped interview with Tim Walls and Dana Bash. The Democrats installed as their nominee. Think
12:03about this. They installed the only liberal in America afraid to do a CNN hit. The only one.
12:11And she's a nominee. The West is like a lottery ticket you can't find. You can walk around
12:16Washington, D.C. and just bump into liberals who are dying to do CNN hits. The only one afraid of
12:22CNN. So there's only one debate scheduled, Miller. She's only agreed to one debate and she's still
12:28arguing about the details. Do you think she does another debate or are we going to see another
12:33one punch knockout or three? Well, we already know that she ran screaming in terror from the
12:42prospect of a Fox News debate. And of course, Fred Barron, Martha McCallum, I mean, are the
12:46two most truly I mean, you know them, Jesse. I know them. The two most down the middle journos
12:51in the country. I mean, they are truly right down the middle. And she ran away screaming in terror.
12:57Oh, but she'll totally keep America safe when we're dealing with the most dangerous autocrats
13:02in the world. She has so far refused to do the third debate. So she's canceled two out of the
13:08three debates. But we know what she's going to do. She's going to show up just like her convention
13:12speech and talk all about herself, her biography, her life, her personal dreams, everything except
13:19what the hell she's been doing for the last three and a half years as vice president.
13:24Everything but that. She doesn't want to talk about that. All right, Miller, go back and save
13:29the world. Just like and then it was January twenty twenty one and no one's seen me since.
13:34End of bio. Thank you. Questions, please. All right. Back into the shrubbery like Homer Simpson.
13:40I'll see you later. Thank you. Senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Victor Davis Hanson.
13:46Victor Davis Hanson does not need a chaperone to do this Fox News interview. He's doing it all
13:51by himself. So he's fearless. What does it say to you about, you know, you have this
13:58potentially the first female president can't do an interview by herself, has to bring this guy in?
14:05You know, if you put this in context, I didn't think they were going to try to do this ruse
14:09again on the American people. But four years ago, they got all of the people out of the primary in
14:14March of twenty twenty two. They anointed somebody who was cognitively challenged,
14:19who couldn't speak in public under the guise of covid. They put him in the basement and they
14:24reinvented this left wing agenda as old Joe Biden, the unifier and the centrist.
14:29And the people got fooled for three and a half years. And then here we go. We've got the same
14:34type of person who's linguistically challenged. She can't articulate a position. They've hidden
14:41her away. They don't have the excuse of covid. So they've manufactured various excuses. And all of
14:47a sudden, she's not from Berkeley anymore. She's she's from Oakland, working class Oakland.
14:52And, you know, they didn't used to do this when Bill Clinton ran in ninety two. He had a hard
14:56fought primary for a long time with Jerry Brown. So did Obama with Hillary in 2008. They you they
15:03could not refuse a camera. They every time they saw Mike, they hogged it. They loved the attention.
15:09Both of them, Obama and Clinton. They could speak extemporaneously and they were running against
15:14Republicans. Clinton told us, you know, no new taxes. Read my lips. That's what George Bush.
15:19I'm not going to do that. Obama said Iraq war meltdown. But who is she running against?
15:26She's running against herself. She's critiquing the very same record that she bragged that she
15:32was a co-owner of. And, you know, the obvious question everybody ask is whatever your position
15:38is, you've got five months left on your tenure. So just implement it. Or if you don't want to
15:43implement it, say you already implemented it when your first three and a half years.
15:47So I don't think it's going to work a second time like they did with Biden. It's so ridiculous.
15:52It's a travesty. It's an insult to the intelligence of the American people.
15:55It's completely insulting and disrespectful to the voters and to the entire process that
16:00we've had in this country for quite some time. Victor Davis Hansen, she doesn't have a winning
16:04personality. That's understood. She doesn't like to get her hands dirty. Doesn't really
16:09like policy, doesn't understand it, kind of just wings it. And do you think that they will be able
16:15to make an excuse when she loses? I think she's going to lose. I can see the peak happening right
16:20now when she loses. What will the excuse be? It will be the most incredible, unfathomable excuse
16:27in the world. You know what it will be, Jesse? Why in the world did we get rid of old Joe Biden
16:32from Scranton? He was better than this candidate. And they're going to blame each other. And the
16:37people that are taking vows like Nancy Pelosi for getting rid of Biden, they're going to go
16:41point the finger at her and say, you did this. They're going to point at Nancy and they're going
16:46to point at Barras and they're going to point at the press. And everyone's going to be pointing
16:50at each other. And Trump's going to be signing executive orders and drilling baby drilling.
16:56All right. Victor Davis Hansen, thank you as always for joining Primetime. Thank you.
17:01Breaking news on Trump's assassination attempt. Straight ahead.
17:06Absentee ballots will start getting mailed out next week in some states.
17:10As we get into the home stretch, the parties are duking it out in court over election integrity.
17:15In North Carolina, the RNC is suing the Board of Elections because they aren't purging foreigners
17:21from the voter rolls. Remember, Democrats said illegals can't vote. But Virginia and Texas have
17:27already found thousands of people who aren't citizens registered to vote. The governors
17:32remove them and so should every state. Another lawsuit in North Carolina claims 225,000 voters
17:39were registered without showing ID. Suspicious. In Arizona, Republicans are suing Democrat
17:46Governor Katie Hobbs for ordering mass voter registrations and ballot drops. Republicans say
17:52she's not allowed to do that. In Georgia, Republicans are trying to prevent election
17:57workers from just rubber stamping election results. Right now, you're allowed to conduct
18:02a reasonable inquiry before signing off on the vote totals. If you notice numbers don't add up
18:08or suspect suspicious activity. But the Democrats are suing to stop that. We want every voter
18:15comfortable enough to trust the process. That means clean up the voter rolls in every state,
18:20delete all the dead people and the non-citizens so we can trust the results.
18:28The FBI released new evidence from the Trump shooting. This is the assassin's weapon
18:33and the backpack which the gun was broken down and stored in. We also have a photo of the air
18:38conditioning unit that the FBI now says Crooks used to get on the roof. We're also getting a
18:44look inside Crooks's trunk stuffed with IEDs. A remote detonator was found on Crooks's body.
18:51The FBI says Crooks had been researching how to build bombs since 2019, searching for things like
18:58detonating cord, blasting cap and how to make a bomb from fertilizer. The feds say bomb making
19:04material Crooks used is available online and legal to purchase. Crooks's toxicology report
19:10showed no drugs or alcohol. These little drips of information are interesting, but we deserve more.
19:17The FBI says they conducted a thousand interviews, issued dozens of subpoenas,
19:21scrubbed through Crooks's online accounts, watched hundreds of hours of video,
19:26but they haven't found a motive. They also never found a motive in the Las Vegas shooting either.
19:32Interesting. And hid the motive of the trans shooter, so we don't trust the FBI on motive.
19:38They claim Crooks's political ideology is mixed, but he became hyper-focused on the Butler rally
19:45after it was announced, searching where will Trump speak from? Butler Farm Show podium and
19:51AGR International. That's the building he took the shot from. The FBI also says there was no
19:57second shooter and no evidence pointing to co-conspirators who knew about the attack.
20:02So they know for sure that Crooks is working alone, but they don't know his motive. Again,
20:08that's what the FBI tells us. Whether we trust that, it's up to us. It's been over six weeks
20:15since the shooting and we still know very little about what happened that day. And we want
20:20accountability. And so does Trump. He's looking the Harris-Biden administration square in the
20:26eyes here. Watch. You know, when this happened, people would ask whose fault is it? I think to
20:32a certain extent, it's Biden's fault and Harris's fault. And I'm the opponent. Look, they were
20:40weaponizing government against me. They brought in the whole DOJ to try and get me.
20:48They weren't too interested in my health and safety. I would be if I were in their position,
20:54but they weren't very interested. But they they were always making it from what I understood.
21:00And I could feel it. They were making it very difficult to have proper staffing
21:06in terms of Secret Service. Arizona congressman Eli Crane is a former Navy SEAL sniper.
21:13Donald Trump has not gone this far, congressman, in placing the blame of the assassination attempt
21:18squarely on the shoulders of Biden-Harris. The fact that he's doing that now, what does that suggest?
21:27Well, hey, Jesse, thanks for having me. You know, I have to agree with the president. You can only
21:31call somebody a white supremacist and a threat to democracy so many times before somebody in
21:38America tries to do something about it. It's you know, it can't happen in the United States
21:43of America. It doesn't matter, you know, who the candidate is. But we've seen the DOJ and a lot of
21:50our government weaponized against Donald Trump for a very long time. And so I think he's accurate
21:54in what he's talking about. He's saying that the Harris administration, along with Biden,
21:59didn't really care about protecting him, didn't really want to protect him too much
22:03and kind of gave him not that much protection. That's a pretty damning allegation.
22:11Well, it is damning, Jesse. But like I said, I mean, it matches up with everything we've seen.
22:17We know that we know that the Secret Service denied him extra protection. We know that they
22:22denied RFK Jr. extra protection as well. We know that they believe that if they gave him extra
22:28protection, he would look too presidential. Well, how about this, guys? How about you
22:33actually do your job and protect probably the most hated and, you know, the individual
22:39around the around the entire world that has the most threats against his life?
22:45And remember, this was his Joe Biden Secret Service director. He handpicked her and she
22:51was running the show. Tell me about this FBI announcement today. They came out,
22:55they did a big dog and pony show, gave us some photos of the gun, the backpack and the
23:00air conditioning unit. Did you really learn that much from what was announced today?
23:08No, Jesse, we didn't learn that much today, and I'm honestly not surprised.
23:12But here's the deal. The big issue the FBI has, and you just talked about it in your opening,
23:16is whether or not the American people, whether or not we trust what they actually say.
23:20This is the same organization that went after Catholics, wouldn't investigate the Hunter Biden
23:26laptop, went after parents at school board meetings and also couldn't find the January
23:326th pipe bomber, Jesse. And I'm going to be honest with you. I don't believe their narrative
23:37about the January 6th pipe bomber for a second. And Dan Bongino told myself and several other
23:42members of Congress just this week in Washington, D.C., that when this story breaks about the
23:48January 6th pipe bomber, what really happened, it's going to be the biggest scandal in Washington,
23:52D.C.'s history. All right. Well, we'll look forward to covering that when that breaks.
23:56Eli Crane, thank you so much. And thanks for your service. Tony Robbins is here.
24:06Fox News alert. The Supreme Court just froze Biden's billion dollar student loan bailout.
24:11The bailout was supposed to bribe young voters to vote for the Harris Biden campaign.
24:15But the Supreme Court says bribing voters before an election won't work.
24:19Who would have thought? But the Harris Biden White House won't give up on college bribes.
24:24They might have a few tricks up their sleeves. So we're going to keep you updated.
24:30Kamala is responsible for the open border, but now her campaign says she was never border czar
24:34and she wants to build a wall. Have you ever heard or even mentioned migrant crime? I haven't.
24:41And it's getting worse. In New Orleans, a migrant who was denied entry by Trump,
24:46but let back in by Kamala, the border czar, was just charged with negligent homicide after
24:51crashing into a van on a motorcycle. In Philly, an MS-13 gang member from El Salvador was arrested
24:57after he fired at moving cars trying to murder eight Americans. And in Houston, a criminal
25:03illegal on the most wanted list was just arrested. Kamala and Joe's open border doesn't just
25:10overwhelm border security. It widens the market for human trafficking. The number of people
25:15trafficked worldwide has quadrupled since 2008 quadrupled. And the Justice Department ranked
25:22human trafficking as one of the world's fastest growing criminal enterprises, raking in over
25:27one hundred and fifty billion dollars a year. This isn't a foreign crisis. It's happening here
25:34right under our noses. Men, women and children are being forced into modern day slave like
25:40conditions. A new film, City of Dreams, follows Jesus, a young boy from Mexico who came to the
25:47United States with dreams of becoming a soccer star. But that all changes when he's trafficked
25:52across the border and sold into a sweatshop in L.A. Jesus's story isn't fiction. There are
25:59thousands of kids in the United States who are going through unspeakable horrors because of the
26:03human trafficking industry. The politicians are silent and legacy media won't report it.
26:10It's taking alternative media like a city of dreams to shine a light on this epidemic.
26:15It should make all of us uncomfortable that we live in the United States where we claim an
26:18American dream that has become an American nightmare for so many. I don't care whether
26:24you're on the left or the right or black or white. We can unite around the fact that child slavery
26:30and child trafficking is wrong. We need to step up and do something about it.
26:35Author, speaker and executive producer Tony Robbins and director of the film Mo Ramchandani,
26:41join us now. So Tony, you realize whenever anybody, especially of your stature, gets involved
26:47in the human trafficking coverage, they are just annihilated. It's just a ton of
26:54bricks just get dropped on them. Are you ready for that?
26:59Well, I went through it on the previous film Sound of Freedom. We had the same situation. But,
27:03you know, on July 4th weekend last year, we beat out Disney with all their money because people
27:08were so moved by the film. And my wife and I have been involved in this for eight years. It's not a
27:12side hustle for us that we do. We've freed about a little more than 50000 children. We funded the
27:17freedom of and we've actually gone out on those. I've gone undercover with scars on my face.
27:22The ugliest things you could ever imagine in your life happening to our children,
27:25but also the beauty is when they're freed. And Mo has built this film that is, you know,
27:30when you're 10 million people, 11 million coming over the border or you hear
27:33them talk about 300000 children, we've misplaced. We don't know where they are.
27:37It's too big. But when you follow one child's life, and especially this one,
27:40because it's a thriller and keeps you on the edge of your seat, but also it's a hero's journey
27:44because this young man against all odds not only frees himself, but everybody else, too. So
27:49it's a call to action to wake people up to what's really happening. Well, think about slavery.
27:54Uncle Tom's cabin is what changed slavery. It was a storyteller that upset people enough that
27:58people wouldn't put up with it anymore. That's what we hope this is the beginning of. You got
28:01to tell these stories. So, Mo, what moves you to make a film like this? Well, you know, Jesse,
28:08my family originally from a province in India called Satan. That's now Pakistan. They were
28:13thrown out of their home. And my father, when he was seven years old, he worked in a sweatshop
28:17and sweatshop like condition. So the idea was always there. But when I moved to America and I
28:22became a filmmaker, I read a case about 72 immigrants trapped in a house in El Monte,
28:28California, like, you know, 40 minutes from where I live. And I was disgusted. Like I got into it
28:33and I couldn't believe how much of it was happening. And it wasn't at the time when I
28:37wrote the script years ago being reported in the mainstream media. And I contacted a friend who
28:43connected me with someone in the Labor Department. And he was saying, hey,
28:46there are tons of these cases of kids who are trapped in houses in the Bay Area and they're
28:51making products. And so that was really my motivation is I couldn't believe that this
28:56was happening here. You know, we know what's happening in India and China. But to see it up
29:00this scale today in America was shocking. It is shocking. And you'd think the media would report
29:05that the media loves children. We all love children. The media is always talking about
29:10protecting the children. They say they're interested in corporate corruption. Why do
29:14you think the media is so afraid to cover this trafficking industry, especially with kids?
29:22Well, you know, I do know the New York Times. Sorry. No, no, go. I was just going to point
29:28out the New York Times. Please did report last year that Hannah Dreyer at the New York Times
29:33did a big expose about how 300000 migrant children had been lost and many of them were
29:40sold into labor and sex trafficking and, you know, were in supply chains of big corporations.
29:45But there hasn't been much after that. No, there's been no follow up and no one talks about
29:50it. I mean, if Trump had lost and I want to make this political because it's not I mean,
29:54if Trump had lost three hundred thousand kids, that would have been all you heard about.
30:00Tony. Yeah, it's so unfortunate. But I think the truth of the matter is people have to have
30:06emotion. If I asked you where you were on 9-11, even if you're not American, you remember where
30:10you were, who was around you. They ask you where you are on 8-11. No one knows. It's because
30:15information without emotion is barely retained. And when the numbers are so big, people just
30:19follow the single story of a child and you feel what they feel and see what they see.
30:23That's what fires people up. And this film, by the way, got 100 percent rotten tomatoes.
30:28That's the highest rated film the studio's seen in five years. It's at 86 percent rotten tomatoes
30:33right now with everybody's input. It is a thriller that will move you. Our goal is
30:37produce enough emotion that people want to do something about it. Write their congressmen,
30:42donate to some organizations. We can save a child's life for five hundred dollars. We have
30:45kids doing that to give you an idea or volunteer your time. But first see the film and let it move
30:50you. It's pretty phenomenal. Usually when you come out with things like this, they get censored.
30:54I expect this movie to get censored or somehow they'll try to discredit it. Is that happening
31:00so far? Well, I want to share what's happened with some of our, you know,
31:07people that are sending out social media blew my mind. Yeah, it's funny. I talked to Tony today.
31:14Like we've heard that some influencers were still investigating it that posted on Instagram
31:20were shadow banned for posting about the film and about child trafficking.
31:24You know, this is what we were told. We're investigating it. We were also told the same
31:28about TikTok. But, you know, we literally just found out a few hours ago and I called Tony and
31:34it's it's it's a little scary, you know, because for me, I wanted to I just wanted to make a film.
31:39I wanted to show people what happens to these kids and let them make up their own minds. I have no
31:45political agenda with it at all. You know, I think the Vex said it best. It doesn't matter
31:48if you lean left or right. This is about, you know, children. So, yeah, it's about protecting
31:53the children and hopefully and hopefully. Go ahead. And, you know, so hopefully, you know,
31:58Zuckerberg yesterday made his apology. So our hope is it's just an old algorithm and they'll get it
32:03corrected right away because there's no reason not to let people be exposed to this film. There's
32:07nothing in it that is inaccurate. Yeah, they always blame the algorithm. I wonder who's writing
32:11the algorithm. That's the problem. All right. City of Dreams, you can see it coming to a theater
32:16near you. Thank you guys so much.
