00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: America's Voice News. We got another great show for you today.

3
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: We had some real fun this week down at the

4
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: Kennedy Center in Washington, d C. For the premiere of

5
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: The American Miracle. Our Nation Is No Accident, brought to

6
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 1: you by Heroic Films, and we sat down with legendary

7
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: actor and singer. We actually interviewed on the red carpet,

8
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: Pat Boone, Kevin Sorbo, the writer of the original book,

9
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: Michael Medved. We've got a great show ahead for you,

10
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to give you some good news

11
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: out there. The Army smashes their twenty twenty five recruiting

12
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: goals already it with four months to spare, sixty one

13
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: thousand future soldiers signed up, and it's really big because

14
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: the enlistments are up over last year by fifty one percent.

15
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: You know, we were really struggling under the Biden administration

16
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: of a recruitment and we were not meeting our goals

17
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: for any of the armed services except the Marines. The

18
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: Marines always appear to do well, but we were really suffering.

19
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: And now we might be facing a two or three

20
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: Front War. America used to be able to fight two

21
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: wars at a time, two and a half at a time.

22
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: Can we still do that? You know, things might heat

23
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: up in the South China, Sea, the Middle East. Who

24
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: knows what's going to happen with Ukraine and Russia. We

25
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: live in some existential times, that's for sure, and we

26
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: need to be ready. But I wanted to get right

27
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: to our first guests. Today we have a singer songwriter,

28

34
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: and you're re releasing it because it's timely, and I

35
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: wanted to get into a little bit of the history.

Speaker 2: Well, I've always I hadn't been in the business forever.

40
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: I've been in real estate developed for for a long time,

41
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: during the Metro. I got involved in the music industry,

42
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 2: maybe about ten years ago, ten maybe ten years ago,

43
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: I guess it was about and that's when I met Calvin,

44
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: and Calvin was a singer up in Nashville, and I

45
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,119
Speaker 2: was telling Calvin that I want you to try to

46
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 2: do a song that will help unite America.

47
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: So he got with it.

48
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: Number Mike Flanders up in Nashville now Nashville. They had

49
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 2: a song on My America and that was written by

50
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 2: Charles English and Janius Street. And this song happened to

51
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 2: fit the narrative during the time, you know, because we

52
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 2: wanted America to be all inclusive and for unite. Everything's

53
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 2: that bring unity and music has always brought unity to

54
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: uh to the forefront. So I'll kind of let Calvin

55
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: I talk to you about it, and he found.

56
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: The song America brought it to me.

57
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: So, Calvin, you're a singer songwriter. I understand you come

58
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: from humble beginnings in small town America. Tell us about

59
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: why you got involved in music and about your childhood.

60
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 4: Well, I was coming up, you know, just like any

61
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 4: you know, mostly uh, you know, coming up in the country.

62
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 3: Church was a big influence on you know, my my musical.

63
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 4: You know background I have, you know, ken folks like

64
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 4: James Cotton, that's uh.

65
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: You know, that's a relative.

66
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 4: But I joined the choir in a little small church

67
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 4: in Crawfersville, Arkansas, and uh, you know, I got in

68
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 4: the choir, and you know, I used to sing around

69
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 4: the house all the time anyway, because we lived so

70
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 4: close to Memphis there in Arkansas, and I grew up

71
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 4: listening to Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley and all those guys. So, uh,

72
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 4: you know, I just kind of took a liking the music,

73
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 4: not only like most of the gospel stuff coming up

74
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 4: by being in church. So that's how I got the

75
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 4: taste of the music. And and right then and there

76
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 4: after getting in the choir, I just you know, just

77
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 4: being there, I felt that this is what I'm supposed

78
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 4: to be doing.

79
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 3: So I never stopped from that point on.

80
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: Oh that's great, that's really great. Before we throw to

81
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:57,080

82
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: song is.

83
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 4: It's called My America and uh and you know, so

84
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 4: My America is basically just talking about you know, uh

85
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,239
Speaker 4: being in America and just uh, you know, the love

86
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 4: of music and just it talks about everybody, you know,

87
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 4: if you're a blue collar worker, if you're rich.

88
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: Or if you're poor, whether the situation may be.

89
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 4: Uh, this song right here is just a great inspirational song,

00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: to cover just about everything in a short period of

102
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,240

Speaker 8: Avoid these dangers.

199
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,199

207
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 13: make all of this happen.

208
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: Most of them believed that there were no accidents in.

209
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 8: History, that hope for liberty was the light that under

210
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 8: God he would lead them. All eyes are open or

00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: They labor in vain that build it.

216
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 14: It cannot be denied that with America and ten America,

217
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 14: a new era commences in human affairs.

218
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 4: American is something that I hold in my heart.

219
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 15: Americans of today should regain our bearings that our nation

Speaker 1: the America's rise to prosperity.

229
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 12: I have often said that if one tries to deny

230
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 12: that the hand of Providence was very heavily present throughout

231
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 12: the war, is worse than a heathen that thinks so wow.

232
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: Well, so many things that happened to make America what

233
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,320

234

Speaker 1: there at Real America's Voice News.

236
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 12: My message has always been the same, and that is,

237
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 12: if I posterity, if future Americans are not completely free

238
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 12: and happy. There will be no one responsible for that

239
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 12: but yourselves.

240
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 16: You go.

241
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,080

Speaker 1: thank you so much, and we're looking forward to a

243
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: spectacular evening here at the Kennedy Center, the iconic Kennedy

244
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: Center here in Washington, d C. Named after you. Thank you,

245
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: Federal City. Yes, sir, all right, everybody. Jim Gallagher, the

246
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: historian and advisor to the American Miracle, How are you?

247
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 17: I am well, thank you for excited to be here. Yes,

248
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 17: very It's a nice to see this country fruition. It's

249
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 17: been three years in the making, a lot of energy here.

250
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: Very all right. So tell us about your input with

251
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: the movie and how historically accurate were they able to

252
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: depict the founding fathers and what they had to deal with.

253
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 17: Well, I ended up being the historian trying to make

254
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 17: sure that we stay true to the history. There's always

255
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 17: a framework that you have to work inside with films

256
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 17: of budget and time and costs. So we tried to

257
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 17: stay within that while delivering everything that we could to

258
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 17: make this historically accurate. Everybody who is a historical figure

259
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 17: in the film is delivering lines that they actually wrote

260
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 17: or said, or is documented and can be attributed to them.

261
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: How you approached to a consult for the movie actually

262
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: was an accident, a divine actually it was.

263
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 17: Tim and I both agree that it's providence.

264
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: He missdialed.

265
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 17: He was looking for to get some cannon, which you'll

266
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 17: see in the opening scenes, and I happened to be

267
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 17: a revolutionary war historian and I was able to get

268
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 17: those for him. And once we had the discussion about

269
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 17: what explained to him what type of cannon that he needed,

270
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 17: and then it went on into boats, and then it

271
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 17: went on into other things, he asked me to stay

272
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 17: on as a historian.

273
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: How relevant is this movie with the two hundred and

274
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration Independence coming up?

275
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 17: The timing of this couldn't be any more appropriate. We

276
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 17: just had the Battle of two hundred and fifteth anniversary

277
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 17: of Lexington. Yeah, and we're coming up in a week

278
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 17: where the two hundred and fifteth anniversary of the Battle

279
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 17: of Bunker.

280
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: Hill shot heard around the world. The movie heard around

281
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: the world tonight.

282
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 17: And you will see that shot in the film.

283
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: Wonderful. Thank you so much, Jim, I appreciate that.

284
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 17: Thank you.

285
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 8: The screenwriter for the American Miracle.

286
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: How are you John Gruder's great?

287
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 8: What a fun place to be tonight? Wow?

288
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: So how hard was it to make the adaptation of

289
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: Michael Medfid's New York Times best selling book.

290
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 18: Well, the hard part was what to leave out because

291
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 18: a movie can't be too long, so we had to

292
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 18: sort of pick and choose.

293
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 8: He's got you really should have.

294
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 18: Read all three of his books that just deal with

295
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 18: his subject so limiting it into what could be cohesive

296
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 18: for one one film was probably the hardest thing.

297
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: How did you get involved with heroic pictures? Don't Tim

298
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,760

00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 18: asked if I'd be interested in working with it. And

00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 18: I've really respected Michael medved for you many years.

00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: when I was fifteen years old, a long long time ago.

327
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 1: But I appear with Jeffrey Lord on WGSIM radio every frade. Yeah,

328
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: Jeff has been writing for US forever.

329
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 13: Magazine goes back to nineteen sixty seven. Our maitarial Junior,

330
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 13: the founder is still around. Great guy, saw him this afternoon,

331
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 13: and Jeff has been one of our best writers for

332
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 13: a long time.

333
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 1: Oh that's great. Tell us about your experience and participating

334
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: in this production. So I was interviewed.

335
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 13: I'm on camera a lot as an academic expert to

336
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 13: talk about these things. I teach at Grove City College,

337
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 13: Grove City, Pennsylvania. I'm a Reagan historian. In fact, one

338
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 13: of my books on Ronald Reagan became the basis of Reagan,

339
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 13: the movie, which came out in twenty twenty four. Dennis

340
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 13: Quaid as, sure, so, I know the American founding, American history,

341
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 13: have known Michael Medbd for decades.

342
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: Do a show all incredible screen adaptation of his bestselling novel.

343
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, I really love the way that they did it.

344
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 13: You know, I guess you'd call this maybe a docu drama,

345
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 13: but I think it's more like a drama a doc.

346
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: Right, because you've got so much acting and.

347
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 13: Then at the same time, the viewer can sive these

348
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 13: academic experts kind of affirming and authenticating what they see

349
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 13: on the screen.

350
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,959
Speaker 1: It's nice to have pride in your country again, right,

351
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: isn't that the message that's coming out of Washington these days? Well,

352
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: it is.

353
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 13: I mean, it's what people should have in the country,

354
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 13: and in fact, people should realize that many of the

355
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 13: things that happened to the founding of the country, indeed

356
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 13: seem miraculous, and if you want to know what those are,

357
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 13: watch the film. But with George Washington alone, I mean,

358
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 13: there were so many occasions where Washington should have died

359
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 13: and yet lived on somehow as if protected by divine providence.

360
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: Through all challenges. Weather lost everything, and we came out

361
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: on Tom. That's right, That's exactly right. Thank you, Paul Kanger.

362
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 1: Everybody at our American Spectator have fun, insight, all right?

363
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: You got it? Thanks? Sure. What a special night with

364
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: my co host here at Real America's Voice News, Adam

365
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: Weiss at the Kennedy Center, very very special. You know,

366
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: the Washington Post is talking about how ticket sales are

367
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: down at the Kennedy Center like thirty six percent over

368
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: last year because the cultural elite, the liver, the limousine

369
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: elites are boycotting the Kennedy Center because of the anti

370
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: DEI agenda of Donald Trump. But it's about time we

371
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: got some pride back into the Kennedy Center. You know,

372
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: if I see like Bruce Springsteen there one more time

373
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: or another left wing you know performance, I'm gonna puke.

374
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,479
Speaker 1: And it's kind of nice. You know, people actually love

375
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: our country and we're proud of it, and Trump's bringing

376
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: that back for sure. The Kennedy Center was spectacular yesterday

377
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: and just like the White House, you know, he is

378
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: bringing back our institutions to life here and very very special.

379
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,960

Speaker 1: today with the premiere of heroic Films of the American Miracle.

404
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: Our nation was no accident. We spend time on the

405
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: red carpet with so many great people, you know, doctor

406
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: Ben Carson, Kevin sorbo Pat Boone. I mean, the guy's

407
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: ninety two years old. He was sharp, he was razor sharp.

408
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 1: He plays Thomas Jefferson in the movie. And it's about

409
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: you know, this country that was you know, founded with

410
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: maybe divine intervention. You know, the weather didn't go their way.

411
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: There was so much loss. They were outnumbered, but so

412
00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: many things fell into place for the founding fathers and

413
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: really the most inspirational time in the history of the

414
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: United States for sure. And you know I'm on media

415
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: Exposed tomorrow with Adam Weiss, where we pull apart the

416
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: left wing media, the mainstream media, and all the hypocrisy

417
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: going on out there. And Bill Maher said in twenty fourteen,

418
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: you know, and I was listening to Kevin Sorbo from

419
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: a twenty fourteen interview. He was saying that God is

420
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: like a homicidal maniac basically or psychotic, and that he

421
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: kills babies and it was really terrible. And Kevin Sorbough

422
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: told him and said on an interview I saw with

423
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: Steve Malsberger on Newsmax that mar is an angry, lonely man.

424
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: Really just terrible. And Bill Maher also said that Trump's

425
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: going to turn the Kennedy Center into something, you know,

426
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 1: where even Kevin Sorbo will receive an award there one day.

427
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: And it was attack on Kevin, but Providence intervened once again,

428
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: and Kevin Sorbo was on the red carpet to a

429
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: packed house for the premiere of The American Miracle. I've

430
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: got more interviews here for you that we did on

431
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: the red carpet, very special, check it out. Very excited

432
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 1: to have with us, the CEO of Heroic Pictures, the director,

433
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: the executive producer of The American Miracle. Is there anything

434
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: he didn't do on the movie?

435
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 19: Well, I didn't act in it, so yes, no stunt

436
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 19: doubles or anything.

437
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, wonderful, wonderful. What inspired you to adapt Michael Medved's

438
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 1: book and get this to the big screen.

439
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 19: Well, I've been making films about God acting in history

440
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 19: for a number of years, and this is another another century.

441
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 19: Guy moved way ahead, and I felt that it was

442
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 19: an important story to tell. It's a forgotten story of

443
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 19: how God providentially actually saved George Washington's life many times,

444
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 19: as well as the Continent Army.

445
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: What does it mean that, you know, we have faith

446
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: based initiatives and movies on the big screen these days.

447
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 19: Well, I think what's happening is there's a lot of

448
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 19: people that are looking for something more.

449
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 17: You know, you go through the.

450
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 19: World and we're somewhat the Bible tells us were created

451
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 19: with this, you know, God show God shaped whole in

452
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 19: our hearts. And I think that these films are really

453
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 19: telling the testimony of other people that felt that in

454
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 19: centuries earlier.

455
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: And it's a test in exstential times. Right, this is

456
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: the story of you know, the rise of American prosperity, right,

457
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: and our success is a nation, I think it is.

458
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 19: And what tells you is that if a nation doesn't

459
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 19: forget God, there's a blessing on it. And that's what

460
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 19: the I believe the founders understood because there was a

461
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 19: moral fabric that the nation needed and that came from

462
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 19: a Judeo Christian understanding of the world.

463
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: All right, maybe we need more of that as a

464
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: country and around the world. Tim Ceo of Heroic Pictures,

465
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 1: executive director, producer and director. Just great to have you

476
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: Heroic Pictures, Nicole c. Mullen. You play Elizabeth Freeman in

477
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: the movie, don't you.

478
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 16: I sure it do.

479
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 3: Wow.

480
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: Tell us about the character and the role.

481
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 20: All right, well, well, just so you know, I'm a

482
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 20: singer by day, yes, just an actress on the side

483
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 20: by night.

484
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: Its an incredible singer.

485
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 20: You're very kind, you know. So I was very honored

486
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 20: to be able to play the role of Elizabeth Freeman.

487
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 20: She was a slave in you know, seventeen eighty one,

488
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 20: and she petitioned the courts for her freedom. She had

489
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 20: heard about the Declaration of Independence. She couldn't read, but

490
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 20: she had heard these different conversations. They said all men

491
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 20: are created, free and equal. And so she went before

492
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 20: a lawyer and she said, does that mean me?

493
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 9: You know?

494
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 20: Am I all mankind?

495
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: The founding fathers picked up on that.

496
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, actually yeah.

497
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 20: Matter of fact, one of the lawyers who was a

498
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 20: part of the Sheffield Resolves that led to some of

499
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 20: the language that's in the Declaration of Independence.

500
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: It's who she went to, Wow, that's extraordinary.

501
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 20: Yeah, And so he said, absolutely, you are all mankind.

502
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 20: And so he took her case, took it before the courts,

503
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 20: and in seventeen eighty one, the courts in Massachusetts granted

504
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 20: her her freedom.

505
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: Do you think every American could go, should go see

506
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: the American Miracle.

507
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 20: Absolutely, every American.

508
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: What will they walk away with?

509
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 20: They'll walk away with hope, a new sense of courage,

510
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,959
Speaker 20: a new sense of honor, a new sense of appreciation

511
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 20: for our nation, knowing that our nation is not a flute,

512
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 20: Our nation is no accident. It really is a miracle

513
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 20: by the hand of God.

514
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 14: Wow.

515
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: Well, that's wonderful, everybody. Nicole c. Mullen. You play Elizabeth

516
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: Freeman and it's helped inspire the Declaration of Independence, maybe.

517
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 20: Right, Well, from the Declaration of Independence, she got her

518
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 20: freedom and she was actually freed, ironically, almost one hundred

519
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 20: years before the rest of the slaves in the United States,

520
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 20: because she asked.

521
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: Unreel, unreel. Well, thank you so much for sharing that

522
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: with us. It means a lot.

523
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 8: Thank you, God, bless me.

524
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: Thank you, Nicole, everybody. Rachel Day u's accomplished actress here

525
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: in The American Miracle tonight, and you're playing Abigail Adams.

526
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 8: That's right, that's right. Yes, What was it like for

527
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 8: you in that role?

528
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 10: Well, Abigail Adams is a genius, so it took a

529
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 10: lot for me to try to get to her level. No,

530
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 10: she was really considered one of the founding fathers. She

531
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 10: was so so integrative in the decision making, especially when

532
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 10: her husband rose to presidency, and.

533
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: She was inspiring to John Adams and to everyone.

534
00:30:58,560 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 11: Right.

535
00:30:58,840 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 8: Yes, she really held her.

536
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 10: And we see that in her letters, and we got

537
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 10: to portray some of those letters in the film.

538
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: What was it like working with this all star line

539
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: up here, Pat Boone, everybody, It must have been amazing,

540
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: Oh it was.

541
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 9: It was.

542
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 10: I'm such a fan of so many people who are

543
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 10: involved in this project, so you know, getting to me that,

544
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 10: I'm absolutely starstruck, and everyone has been so so kind,

545
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 10: so open. You know, we're just breaking bread together backstage,

546
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 10: or I should say, on set.

547
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: Oh that's wonderful, everybody, Rachel Dayu's We look forward to

548
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: seeing the movie tonight, and thank you so much for

549
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: joining us. Of course, thank you, thank you, you have

550
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: a wonderful time. Thank you an incredible honor. We spoke

551
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: earlier today doctor Ben Carson and his lovely wife Candy.

552
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: How are you, sar.

553
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 21: We're doing very well and so pleased to see this

554
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 21: wonderful turn out and this is going to be a

555
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 21: spectacular addition to American.

556
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: Issue, right, and you know you're here for the premiere

557
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: of the American Miracle. And you know you didn't have

558
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 1: it easy growing up, and you've been pioneering us a

559
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: Nora surgeon, former HUD secretary. You accomplished so much, have

560
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: an incredible family. Do you think there's divine inspiration and

561
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: a reason for being as an American?

562
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 21: No question about it. I mean God's fingerprints are all

563
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 21: over this country. And it would have been impossible for

564
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 21: a ragtag bunch of militiamen to defeat the most powerful

565
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 21: military force on earth with divine intervention.

566
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm celebrating Lexington and Concord and next year two

567
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: hundred and fiftieth Anniversity of the Decoration of Independence. What

568
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: does it mean to you and your family to be

569
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: an American? Opportunity and freedom? I know you can't get

570
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: it anywhere else in the world. You heard it right here.

571
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: So wonderful to have doctor Ben Carson, beautiful wife Candy.

572
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: Thank you. We'll see you inside. Thank you, sir. Before

573
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: we get to our next segment, more great interviews. You're

574
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: going to love these. But I wanted to talk about

575
00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: the deaths from fentanyl and overdoses. You know, nine dates

576
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: had their highest number of overdoses in twenty twenty four.

577
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: The Washington Post is talking about, you know, they can't

578
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: figure out why fentanel trafficking is down in the United States,

579
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: and it's so pathetic. It's like, you know, a year ago,

580
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: there were fifteen hundred counters encounters a day at the border.

581
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: Now there's like four encounters a day. And they'll never

582
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: give Trump credit for anything when it comes to saving

583
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: American lives.

584
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:26,239
Speaker 11: Now.

585
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: Granted, overdose deaths in the United States as a whole

586
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: were down in a lot of the states last year,

587
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: dropping about thirty percent, I believe on average. But it's

588
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: due to more availability of Narcan and more drug treatment.

589
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: It wasn't because of anything that Joe Biden and the

590
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: administration did. So you know, Trump's border policies will lead

591
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: to another dramatic decrease in deaths. I bet you they're

592
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: going to number in the tens of thousands per year

593
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: the reduction in deaths. And let's revisit this by the

594
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: end of the year. And I guarantee that I'm going

595
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: to be right about that. Trump is saving lives at

596
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,280
Speaker 1: the border, never mind the lives the murders, the rapes,

597
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: the kidnappings, the drug deals, all the stuff. The court

598
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: system being jammed up with the legals. But listen, don't

599
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 1: go anywhere. We have a message from Switch the Number

00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:41,280
Speaker 22: and make change, but we don't all have the ability

629
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 22: to do so. A lot of people are busy. They

630
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 22: can't join school boards, they can't get on borough council,

631
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 22: but they can change where they shop. And it's just shopping.

632
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 2: It's that simple.

633
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 4: We're gonna link arms and we're going to shop right

634
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 4: here at this American factory.

635
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: They make the products and they're all natural, and they're

636
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: good for us, and they're affordable. Everything made here in

637
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:11,240
Speaker 1: the USA. More great red carpet interviews from the Kennedy

638
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: Center for the premiere the red carpet premiere of The

639

Speaker 1: American Miracle. And then I'm going to go to my

640
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: last interview with Bernie Carrick at the amazing Wildwood Trump rally.

641
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: Last year. You know him and Juliani brought crime down

642
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,720
Speaker 1: to twenty year lows. We need someone like that today

643
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: to clean up New York rapes up thirty percent this year.

644
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: But check out these great interviews and stay tuned. I

645
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: am so wowed right now. The legendary actor A singer composer,

646
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 1: mister Pat Boone, how are you start doing great?

647
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 14: And just kind of bubbling over here with joy at

648
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 14: what's going on, not just because I'm in a movie,

649
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 14: not just because I got to play a great American,

650
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 14: but because there seems to be genuine excitement about our

651
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,439
Speaker 14: history Again, how did.

652
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: We get to be who we are?

653
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 14: How do we get to be what we are? What

654
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 14: was motivating the ones who created this place called America?

655
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you play Thomas Jefferson. Was there anything you

656
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: learned about Thomas Jefferson in your role that you didn't

657
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: know before?

658
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 14: Well, it's not so much that I learned, because I

659
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 14: knew a lot about him already. But when I was

660
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 14: preparing for the role, I wanted to really be scrupulous

661
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 14: about it and be as close to him as I could.

662
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 14: So I called the director and said, you know, he

663
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 14: was a Virginian.

664
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:33,320
Speaker 8: He was president.

665
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 14: Reading the script, it sounds like he's talking almost Elizabethan English,

666
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 14: because that's what they did back then. They were highly educated,

667
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 14: and they had been educated in British ways. But I said,

668
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 14: you know, he's a Virginia. Should I talk with a

669
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 14: little Southern accent? If I'm going to be Jefferson. Can

670
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 14: I be a little bit Southern?

671
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: Sure?

672
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 14: And he said, yes you can.

673
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,240
Speaker 1: Well, I don't affect.

674
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 14: A Southern accent, but there may be a little bit

675
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 14: of coloration because he was a Virginian.

676
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: Wow. Well, I got to say, I'm starstruck at such

677
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: an honor to be with you tonight, everybody. Pat Boone

678
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: playing Thomas Jefferson in The American Miracle and Our Nation

679
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: is no accident, right, no accident at all. In fact,

680
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to spoil it for you, but.

681
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 14: It's a death scene. Oh I get to die as

682
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 14: Jefferson in this film, but I hope my performance helps

683
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 14: him live.

684
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: All right. Well, thank you so much. An amazing honor

685
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 1: to be with you. Thank you again. James Taylor joins

686
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: us on the red carpet here. You played Daniel Webster

687
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: in the movie.

688
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 8: Right, yes, I do you know?

689
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 16: Now.

690
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 11: I don't know if everybody knows this, but Daniel Webster

691
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 11: gave the eulogy for John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, who

692
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 11: actually passed away on the same day. And it happened

693
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 11: to be the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the

694
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 11: Declaration of Independence, so there was a lot of providence

695
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 11: in that alone. And then I was lucky enough to

696
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 11: shoot the scene where he actually stood and gave the

697
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 11: actual speech before.

698
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: So oh wow, so you were on location.

699
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 8: We did it up the right way, yes.

700
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 1: They that's incredible. Yeah, and maybe too many things to

701
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: be a coincidence on how everything came together when you know,

702
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: the hope was lost and then everything came together in

703
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: the Revolutionary War.

704
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 8: Right exactly.

705
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 11: And I think that the most important part is that

706
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 11: we remember our history. And that's the beautiful thing about

707
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 11: this film is it's going to give us a chance

708
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 11: to remember those of us that were old enough to

709
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 11: have history books that taught us things, you know, the

710
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 11: accurate way. And then for folks that are learning their

711
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 11: history now, this is a great movie to watch for that.

712
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, with so much stuff in the movies that's just

713
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: you know, everything blowing up all the time and everything.

714
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: How important is you know this resurgence of these like

715
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: faith based movies and historical perspectives right as a new era.

716
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 11: It is a new era, and it is an exciting

717
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 11: time to be in filming that because there is more

718
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 11: being done in ways that we couldn't have imagined before.

719
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 11: Due to technology, but now just storytelling has just been

720
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 11: amplified in all sorts of faith based films as well.

721
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 1: All right, James Taylor, Right, I want to thank you

722

740
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: is hot tonight with Kevin and Sam Sorbo, actors, producers,

741
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: directors of faith based initiatives. How are you excellent? How

742
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 1: you doing good?

743
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 20: Good?

744
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: I saw you recently. You're everywhere what did Bill Maher

745
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: have to say about you? You should say this?

746
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 23: So he ranted about how Trump was basically remaking the

747
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 23: Kennedy Center in his own image sort of thing, and

748
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,479
Speaker 23: then at the end he goes, so what's next, Kevin

749
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 23: Sorbo wins the Kennedy Center Award or what I hate

750
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 23: to say it, here we are what.

751
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: The lips heads are exploding around the globeing. I love it.

752
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: They you know what's amazing now?

753
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 16: Incredibly I feel sad for people like them because every

754
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 16: day they wake up angry. Every day they wake up

755
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 16: to say, what can I be mad about and angry

756
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 16: about today?

757
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 1: And that's a sad way to go through life.

758
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 6: Yeah.

759
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: Bill Maher even says that they can't continue that way

760
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 1: because they're going to lose more seats than twenty thirty

761
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: in Congress.

762
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 16: All we can only hope, but Bill, we're in the

763
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 16: Kennedy Center, Bill. I think Bill's a JFK Democrat. He's

764
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 16: not a Democrat.

765
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: All night, we have these more than coincidences, just like

766
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 1: the movie The American Miracle, right, they're not coincidences.

767
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 23: We don't actually believe in coincidence providence. Maybe that's what's

768
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 23: so exciting about this.

769
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: Seems like with Donald Trump everything comes full circle. The

770
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: Kennedy Center has a lot of energy tonight, so many

771
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: people here, right.

772
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean it's fantastic. I love what they're doing

773
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,320
Speaker 16: with this. I was honored to be part of it

774
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 16: and honored.

775
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,080

00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 15: picture which is called.

786
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 8: God's Hand on America Unbelievable.

787
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,959
Speaker 1: And this has come to you know, fruition. The screenwriters

788
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: adapted your best selling New York Times bestselling book they

789
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: have And.

790
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 15: There's so much in American history that is so surprising,

791
00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 15: and it's just happened to to be a movie. And

792
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 15: that's part of what we're doing is that America's had

793
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 15: lots and lots of happy accidents, but a pattern of

794
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 15: happy accidents is still a.

795
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: Pattern, right, and that may have been through divine inspiration.

796
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: And how do you feel heroic pictures captured the essence

797
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: of what went on with a founding father Well.

798
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 15: I think they did as well as anyone has done

799
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 15: so far in a motion picture realm.

800
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 8: And the point is that.

801
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 15: When you talk about the founding fathers, they didn't agree

802
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 15: on everything. They had some very bitter conflicts, but they

803
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,720
Speaker 15: resolved them, and they believed in one thing in common,

804
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 15: which is divine providence. Maybe we need a little more

805
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 15: of that, well, a little bit of recognition that we

806
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 15: should feel more gratitude than grievance.

807
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 8: We've had a little bit too much in the.

808
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 1: Grievance environment in America's history, most successful country on Earth,

809
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: if you want to look at it like that, and

810
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 1: just incredible. All right, So tell us some are you

811
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 1: going to do a movie review of the American Miracle?

812
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 15: I think there would be some ethical Okay, okay, because

813
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 15: again I'm in the film, all right, wonderful. No, But

814
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 15: again I have done better than a movie review. I've

815
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 15: done a recommendation that people go, okay, well.

816
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: Well we're going to make sure we watch it later.

817
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 1: I want to thank you for joining us on the

818
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 1: red carpet here at the iconic Kennedy Center tonight.

819
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 8: Packed tonight, My great pleasure and be great to talk to.

820
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: Wonderful and honor to meet you, Michael, Thank you, thank you.

821
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: You know, when I was coming home from DC the

822
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: other night, I'm in Penn station and guy high on

823
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: drugs is fighting himself on the subway platform. People are

824
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: crazy in New York and Bernie Carrick lowered the crime

825
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 1: rate along with Rudy Giuliani, to twenty year lows. Now

826
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:59,240
Speaker 1: felony and misdemeanor assaults are back to twenty plus year highs.

827
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 1: Rape is up almost thirty percent of New York City,

828
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 1: so they bring about murders and shootings down. Some of

829
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: that may be due to Tom Holman taking violent felons

830
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: and illegal aliens off the streets of New York. But

831
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,800
Speaker 1: here's my last interview with Bernie Carrick from last year's

832
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 1: while would Trump rally. Rest in peace, Bernie. We have

833
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 1: a very special guest today, Bernie Carrick, farmer NYPD commissioner, let.

834
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 8: Us out of a nine to eleven and just was

835
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 8: great leadership in New York City.

836
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: How are you I'm doing well, doing well good. Why'd

837
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 1: you come out?

838
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 8: This rally is huge?

839
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 24: Well, I have to tell you, it's shocking pulling in here.

840
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 24: There's about twenty five thirty thousand people in here right now.

841
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 24: They're still trying to get in. I think there's about

842
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,240
Speaker 24: forty thousand outside the gates.

843
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:44,879
Speaker 1: Wow, it's really And we were.

844
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 8: Talking about, you know, a Memorial Day slow in southern Jersey.

845
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 8: The hotel operators are telling us, and this is a

846
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 8: real boon. Trump himself is an economic boon.

847
00:45:55,760 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 1: To this side of New Jersey. It's crazy what's happened.

848
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: New Jersey short boardwalk walk is just littered with people, right,

849
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: It's full from.

850
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 8: One end to the other.

851
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 24: I mean I came in from the airport. All the

852
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,879
Speaker 24: way down the boardwalk. It's loaded with people. And that's

853
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:12,919
Speaker 24: not the people in here.

854
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: So it goes to the fact that you know, I

855
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 1: was with the Trump team at the bodega and Harlem,

856
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: the construction union workers at two seventy Park Avenue, and

857
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: now this and the rally in Wisconsin a couple of

858
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Trump keeps pulling rabbits out of the hat

859
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: while the left is trying to destroy him. In the

860
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: show Trial.

861
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 15: Right.

862
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 24: Well, listen, people want a change, they want a major change.

863
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 24: Crime is up, violent crime is up, murders up all

864
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 24: over the country. You got the illegals coming into the country,

865
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 24: you got the economic downfall of this country right now.

866
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 24: And they know there's only one candidate that can turn

867
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 24: it around, and that's Donald Trump. Yeah.

868
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 1: New York City robberies, felony assaults, misdemeanor assaults, hate crimes

869
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 1: all up. Why aren't they paying attention to the real problems. Well,

870
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 1: the real problem is the leadership.

871
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 24: The real problems the mayor, the city council members, a

872
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 24: governor that won't instill the right laws in the state

873
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:13,280
Speaker 24: to hold these thugs.

874
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 1: And you have DA's that are more.

875
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 24: Focused on political persecutions than they are violent crime. That's

876
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 24: the problem. The NYPD knows its job. They know how

877
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 24: to reduce crime. They've done it. We've proved that under

878
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 24: Mayor Bloomberg and under Mayor Giuliani. You know, for a

879
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 24: twenty year stint, we had the lowest crime rates in

880
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,399
Speaker 24: the history of New York City, and it all get

881
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 24: flipped around under the Blasio and Ergatam.

882
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: We watched that happen and crime is up like fifty

883
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: from twenty nineteen in New York City. I remember you

884
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 1: would train in the police in Iraq. You've been all

885
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: over the world, and I want to just thank you

886
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 1: for your leadership in New York City. Thank you all right,
