74. 3:23now yourself what feeling do you have is
75. 3:26it CU I know you what you're thinking
76. 3:28about is like that clip your head
77. 3:30hitting the table did it actually hurt
78. 3:31cuz that looked like you actually hit
79. 3:32the table it hurt and I did it 30
80. 3:36times here's the thing about hitting
81. 3:39about being a stunt guy you know like
82. 3:40Tom Cruz does all of his own stunts that
83. 3:42sucks uh this wasn't able to be done by
84. 3:44a stunt guy and so they said y you're
85. 3:46going to have to do
86. 3:47it you're quick hit your head on the
87. 3:50table everything about your body is
88. 3:52programmed to break your fall yeah and
89. 3:55so the thing about the thing about doing
90. 3:58that stunt if you're not not a crazy
91. 4:00stunt guy uh who's already beat all of
92. 4:03this Common Sense out of yourself is
93. 4:04that you try to stop yourself but you
94. 4:07also know that you have to pull off the
95. 4:08stunt on camera so all you're doing is
96. 4:11ensuring that you're going to have to do
97. 4:13it again and again and it still hurts
98. 4:15every time it's not like you're not
99. 4:16hitting the table can you imagine you
100. 4:18can't be like Hey listen guys I'm only
101. 4:19doing this one I swear to God you better
102. 4:21get it well because I wasn't good enough
103. 4:23to do like I I wouldn't let myself fully
104. 4:25commit to it until I'd had all the sense
105. 4:28beat out of me and then you got the so
106. 4:30I'm sorry what's what's a budget for
107. 4:31something like this I think we spent 7
108. 4:33million 7 million on this y it looks it
109. 4:35looks very good looks very good can't
110. 4:37wait to see it on December 1st go ahead
111. 4:38ask you a question so Jeremy it comes
112. 4:40out exclusively on daily wire yep Plus
113. 4:43or just regular daily daily wire plus
114. 4:45daily wire plus got you got you so J
115. 4:46what what are the odds if if it's and
116. 4:49and we hope we hope so we hope for you
117. 4:50it's it's really successful online is
118. 4:53there any chance for it to be to to a
119. 4:55point where you're like okay people want
120. 4:56to see it people really love it we want
121. 4:58to put it out in the theater how how
122. 5:00would that work yep it it won't we met
123. 5:02with some theatrical dist Distributors I
124. 5:04think the film would do very well in
125. 5:05theaters in
126. 5:06fact I think that it would out kick its
127. 5:09coverage in theaters because right now
128. 5:10theaters are in trouble right Disney
129. 5:12bombed at the box office this weekend uh
130. 5:16almost every film since the pandemic has
131. 5:18done poorly at the box office with with
132. 5:20precious few exceptions but for the
133. 5:23right going to the theater can be an act
134. 5:25of protest buying a subscription to the
135. 5:27Daily wire is not an act of protest so I
136. 5:29think it would do much better in
137. 5:30theaters than it will on our platform
138. 5:32here's the
139. 5:33problem that movie ain't going to no
140. 5:35theaters unless just you you warn
141. 5:38everybody one of the one of the top
142. 5:39agents at UTA came to us years ago not
143. 5:42that many years ago a couple of years
144. 5:43ago and said hey we'd love to work with
145. 5:45you guys we can do some huge things
146. 5:46together and I said no you there's no
147. 5:48way you'll ever do huge things with us
148. 5:50we believe this we believe that he said
149. 5:51yeah yeah yeah we don't care about any
150. 5:52of that we just care about you know
151. 5:54there's an opportunity here we want to
152. 5:55take it he said the only thing is you
153. 5:57got to back off this trans issue said I
154. 5:59don't care don't care what you say about
155. 6:00abortion don't care what you say about
156. 6:01religion don't care what you say about
157. 6:02who to vote for don't care what you say
158. 6:03about taxes got to back off this trans
159. 6:05issue this is the religious issue of our
160. 6:09time for the left this represents the
161. 6:11culmination of their religious beliefs
162. 6:13uh and so when we went to theatrical
163. 6:14Distributors there it was a we not even
164. 6:17going to engage in the conversation it's
165. 6:18not that they passed it was just like
166. 6:21here's a great example the Hollywood
167. 6:23trades have covered every movie we've
168. 6:24made at Daily wire so far they won't
169. 6:26even write about this one and and I
170. 6:29understand because that would be putting
171. 6:31themselves on the other side of the
172. 6:33actual religion that matters within
173. 6:34their industry so yeah uh sadly while I
174. 6:38think that we will have a theatrical
175. 6:40strategy for many of our films going
176. 6:41forward in the future there's no way
177. 6:43this that ain't the one by the way you
178. 6:45know what's crazy though here's what's
179. 6:46crazy so Klay Travis comes out and says
180. 6:48I'll put a bit put a million dollars on
181. 6:50my own money I don't know if you saw
182. 6:51this time Klay Travis from outkick he
183. 6:53gives a million bucks saying I am
184. 6:56willing to say I'll pick the high school
185. 6:59high school kids high school boys a High
186. 7:02School boys basketball team will beat
187. 7:04the WNBA Champions yeah have you seen
188. 7:08this or no okay so check this out then
189. 7:10one of the players responds back and
190. 7:12calls him clown or whatever right he
191. 7:15comes back and says well if you're so
192. 7:17confident why don't you do it no word
193. 7:19Pat Beverly comes out and Pat Beverly
194. 7:21says you're an idiot he calls him
195. 7:23something like you're you're on drugs
196. 7:26okay and then Klay Travis says well
197. 7:28maybe I'm on drugs rugs he says but both
198. 7:30of us are millionaires why don't you put
199. 7:31your million dollars yes on the WNBA and
200. 7:34why don't I put the million dollars on a
201. 7:36high school team and let's see who wins
202. 7:37never got back to him okay never got
203. 7:39back to him he has
204. 7:42cornered these ladies and the entire
205. 7:46Sports mainstream media and athletes who
206. 7:50think WNBA is this incredible sport that
207. 7:53people want to watch and you're like
208. 7:54don't worry nobody watches wnb and all
209. 7:56this other stuff it just it shows
210. 7:58contradiction and hypocrisy in the
211. 8:00argument to say it's just not real you
212. 8:02know who's the best person that said
213. 8:04what she said in 2012 or 13 when she
214. 8:06says Andy Murray playing against me he
215. 8:08would crush me Serena Serena William
216. 8:11David Letterman and David Letterman
217. 8:12couldn't say anything about it now I
218. 8:13don't know if she would say today she
219. 8:15said that about 10 years ago whatever it
220. 8:18was what a movie like this does you know
221. 8:20what it does it gets you thinking the
222. 8:22challenge for me is the people that
223. 8:25watch DA wire are already understanding
224. 8:28look at this I would lose 60 60 to Andy
225. 8:31Murray in 10 minutes that's right when
226. 8:32Serena Williams said this so guess what
227. 8:34respect to her being straight up about
228. 8:36it and gu and she still makes a lot of
229. 8:37money she makes a 20 million year she's
230. 8:39very wealthy she's the goat she's won 22
231. 8:4123 24 a couple Champion couple Majors
232. 8:45she she's she beats Stephie graph and
233. 8:48she's done a lot of great things she's
234. 8:49one of the greatest female tennis
235. 8:50players of all time she deserves her
236. 8:52success maybe the greatest some would
237. 8:54say of all time right but the the
238. 8:57purpose of this movie this is where my
239. 8:59my concern
240. 9:01goes is the people that need to watch it
241. 9:04may not pay to watch it on daily wire
242. 9:06the people that need to watch it need to
243. 9:08watch it to be sitting there saying what
244. 9:11a stupid thing this is so is the plans
245. 9:14and and I don't know what you're going
246. 9:15to say to this maybe this is the plans
247. 9:16cuz you know the uh could be part of the
248. 9:19Playbook where you guys that what is a
249. 9:21woman and you first had it on dailywire
250. 9:24Plus for a couple years whatever the
251. 9:26timeline was and then you put it on
252. 9:27Twitter and got 100 million views Within
253. 9:2924 hours and Elon Musk retweeted it is
254. 9:31the plans for this to be on dailywire
255. 9:33Plus for about a year or two and then
256. 9:34you put it on Twitter to get the
257. 9:36eyeballs of the you know regular folks
258. 9:38to watch and and say holy this
259. 9:39makes a lot of sense yeah I I would say
260. 9:41that well first you know we're we're
261. 9:43often accused of preaching to the choir
262. 9:45but preaching to the choir is who you
263. 9:46preach to the choir is who listens and
264. 9:49the real baptize though you got to
265. 9:50baptize as well but who does that and
266. 9:53and this is my actual argument you you
267. 9:55preach to the choir because it's the
268. 9:57choir who goes out and has relationships
269. 9:58one-onone which is actually where most
270. 10:00people Chang their mind I changed my
271. 10:03mind about my theology because I had a
272. 10:05great Professor for my very very very
273. 10:07brief stint uh in college I had a a
274. 10:10professor who would argue with me about
275. 10:12religion and I never was even conscious
276. 10:14of the fact that I changed my views I
277. 10:18just slowly over time found that when I
278. 10:19was talking to other people I was saying
279. 10:21not the things that I would say to him
280. 10:23but the things that he would say back to
281. 10:24me and then one day in a moment of
282. 10:26self-reflection I went well he actually
283. 10:28changed my mind I actually believe
284. 10:30something now that is distinct from what
285. 10:31I believed before that's how most of us
286. 10:33come to our beliefs it's from our close
287. 10:34Community it's from our friends it's
288. 10:35from mixing it up it's not from watching
289. 10:37the Ben chapiro show sure some people
290. 10:39watch the Ben chapiro show a lefty will
291. 10:40watch the bapiro show boom they're
292. 10:42conservative that's rare far more likely
293. 10:44is a conservative watches the Ben
294. 10:46Shapiro show they now get ammunition for
295. 10:49how to actually articulate and actually
296. 10:51think about these issues then they go
297. 10:53out into the world and have
298. 10:54conversations with people with whom they
299. 10:55disagree and those people make change so
300. 10:58I I don't think PR to the choir is bad I
301. 11:00think it's good but it's not it's not
302. 11:02sufficient obviously there's the next
303. 11:04thing that needs to happen with with
304. 11:06what is a woman as you say we put it on
305. 11:08uh put it on Twitter on the Oney year
306. 11:09anniversary and had an enormous success
307. 11:11with it will we do that with this well I
308. 11:13don't know what we will do with this but
309. 11:16certainly we are constantly innovating
310. 11:17and evolving and thinking about how to
311. 11:18reach people so whether that's whether
312. 11:21that's putting it on X or whether it's
313. 11:22some other strategy uh C certainly we
314. 11:25are going to find broader and broader
315. 11:26audiences for our content over time what
316. 11:28sounds like subscribing to basically the
317. 11:31um the execution of apologetics I'm
318. 11:34going to give you the way to argue and
319. 11:36then I'm going to let you go work with
320. 11:37the people that you know and love on a
321. 11:39more onetoone basis I'm not going to
322. 11:41expect you to to convert you know in the
323. 11:43amongst the mob you know but there are
324. 11:45some that are breaking through um you
325. 11:48know uh South Park's panders episode has
326. 11:51been you're smiling has been absolutely
327. 11:54destroying Disney and Kennedy it showed
328. 11:57uh it went after Kennedy the woman who's
329. 11:59been redoing all these kenned yep all
330. 12:01the she's been responsible for all the
331. 12:03bombs and that happened under Chek
332. 12:07because it's the release Windows is what
333. 12:09um Iger was dealing with when he showed
334. 12:11up but all this was done there there are
335. 12:14some people that are doing it I mean
336. 12:15they've got that um they took that
337. 12:18platform got it on Paramount plus and it
338. 12:21it it's out there everybody's seeing it
339. 12:23and Disney is reacting trying to keep it
340. 12:25off and they're doing everything they
341. 12:26can to fight it and God bless whoever
342. 12:29Paramount plus said no no no no no
343. 12:30that's part of the series that's that's
344. 12:32satire that's cartoon we're going to
345. 12:34leave it on but that thing was
346. 12:35heavy-handed you know what's crazy about
347. 12:36his movie too P before I know you want
348. 12:38to move on people can actually do like I
349. 12:40know it's a movie but though guys could
350. 12:43literally today do exactly what you guys
351. 12:45did in the movie say that they're women
352. 12:47and do exactly what he's doing like
353. 12:48nothing's holding you back well they are
354. 12:50doing it the thing exct they are doing
355. 12:53it the scene that's in the trailer and
356. 12:55and I'll stop I'll stop self-promoting
357. 12:56it's all good the scene in the trailer
358. 12:58where bla crane lifts is wrestling he
359. 13:00lifts the woman off the ground and
360. 13:01smashes her first of all it hurt she's a
361. 13:04professional stunt woman and it was
362. 13:05painful it was painful to watch and when
363. 13:07I was driving home I actually had a
364. 13:09moment of reflection that night and
365. 13:10thought what is this immoral am I doing
366. 13:12something wrong like we we we humiliated
367. 13:14that gal I mean she signed up for it
368. 13:16she's a professional but you don't feel
369. 13:18great about it and then I realized oh no
370. 13:20this is this isn't even a joke the first
371. 13:24male MMA fighter who identified as a
372. 13:26woman and fought an actual biological
373. 13:29woman broke her skull almost killed her
374. 13:32yep broke her skull all we all we're
375. 13:35doing is what they did in death of
376. 13:36Stalin we're saying No this is reality
377. 13:38and it's okay to laugh at it
