2:04:17 Hey Alex, thank you. Yeah, this is, I spent a year of my life making this and there's never been a film made quite like it. It takes you, it immerses you in this crisis. You travel from Southern Mexico all the way to New York City on freight trains, through cartel tunnels, through child immigration camps in Texas, and the government's funding all of it. But it really gives you this first-person perspective. It's a humanitarian crisis And it asks these large questions, which are hard questions to answer, which is where do you draw the line? And people doing all these things, helping facilitate child trafficking, just doing their jobs to collect the paycheck. And I think we're getting a point in society where we have to face the music. Are we a nation of moral cowards? Are we just gonna go along to get along, to feed our family? Are we gonna step up?
2:05:11 And that's what the film is really about. And it contrasts these cowardly people, some of them in the border patrol, with some of the heroes that do stand up and do speak the truth. And that's why it's called Lying in the Sand, Alex. Talk about what you experienced out there. Because I know you work seven days a week, you crisscross the world, really. with all your other investigations going on and then I've made films that took a long time to make nothing like this and it's like you're giving birth to something when it's and it's like a child isn't it? Yeah, I spent, I mean, I'm the director of this film. I didn't just delegate that, a lot of you, I mean, I actually directed it. I was, I'm the protagonist. I went to the border wall. I interacted with the cartel. In fact, Alex, in one scene in the movie, they're cutting through the iron wall, you see it on your screen right there, with a big buzzsaw, the cartel is, and they were threatening me as the border patrol just sat there and watched.
2:06:12 So, there's some really incredible moments. It's almost like an action movie. Most documentaries are very retrospective or they interview people. This is like you're there. And some of the moments are hard to believe are real. There's another scene in the film where they're stamping fake residencies in New York City. I go undercover as a Ukrainian immigrant. They give you free bracelets, free plane tickets. And what dawned upon me, my takeaway, is that everybody, I mean, everybody is making so much money off of this crisis. Everybody is getting rich off of this thing. And there was no moral concern with the kids and none of it. In fact, we snuck into one of these child encampments in Texas.
2:07:01 And it's a federal compound, it's very dangerous to do this, we did it anyway. And the guard was like, yeah, it pays really well. And then another bus company guy said, yeah, we need these people to keep coming so we can keep feeding our family. And I was kind of surprised by that. I can't believe how many people are on the take. Now, in Mexico, if you hold the cartel accountable, they'll kill you. And in America, if you hold these people accountable, they'll kill your reputation. So again, it goes back to this biblical question, which is a hard question to answer, but where do you draw that line? When are we gonna stand up
2:07:39 and say enough is enough, let's stand lockstep, this is not right. That's really the heart and soul of this movie. I don't think there's ever been a movie made quite like it and comes out next week. I have the premiere, Red Carpet on Tuesday and then Thursday it's gonna go live on Tucker Carlson Network. And I happen to get shown, I was blessed to even see Reagan before it came out, I mean I gotta say I mean, I know this stuff. I live this stuff and I still learned so much and like you said the situations you were in incredibly dangerous and
2:08:18 It just, like you said, they have so many moving parts in the government, the NGOs, the border patrol, when the National Guard's down there facilitating all of this and then they sit back and act like bare minimum, okay, well it's just an accident, Kamala's an idiot. No, I mean, this is being done by design with the same NGOs that ran the invasion of Europe. and you see it for yourself. I go down there and I see the NGO purple haired liberals ordering the troops and border patrol around and then they're there is the border patrol union has said catapulting him into the US where they just disappear and then other investigators like Muck Riker go out and you know get a list from
2:08:55 whistleblowers about where the kids were last dropped off and their empty vacant lots and houses. I mean, this is crazy evil. Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned Muckraker. Anthony Rubin was one of the inspirations for me to do the train ride. He had done it before. Now, Anthony, before I even made this film, was kidnapped by the cartel. Talk about, I don't know whether this guy is brave or insane or both, but he went out there, he was kidnapped, they destroyed his cameras. And then I said, let's go do this together. So Anthony Muckraker and I rode the train at Iroquois to Mexico. Up there we were detained by the Mexican Army and National Guard. And we had a hidden camera in my watch. And I took the SD chips out of the cameras to protect the footage. This is, Alex, I actually did this on the freight train.
2:09:44 So, in the film you can see the beast train, it's called, La Bestia, where all the Venezuelans jump on the train. It's dangerous to climb aboard a moving freight train. You've got women with babies strapped to their kids. There's Anthony right there, a very brave guy. I would not have done this but not for him. And then we were detained. And film that entire detention where they were talking about their relationship with the United States government. Now people need to understand that the United States government is funding all of this. Health and Human Services is a trillion dollar agency. They're providing funding to these NGOs. I did not know this, Alex, but the churches are involved in this. I got tax returns for Catholic charities and it was surprising to see the Department of Homeland Security giving money to the church
2:10:30 Help facilitate all this trafficking so I think we know about this so people say well why would you make a film we all know the borders broken. I think part of what I do and part of what I would call cinema verite. What is the art of of capturing things in reality with true reality film. It's, sometimes you need to see the world through that lens, through that aperture. You need to see the Border Patrol agents as they tear up. You need to see the Venezuelans climb aboard the train, the babies get run over. It's horrific. The scenes of drugged children, unaccompanied little girls at the border. I mean, this is not pretend. These are real scenes in the film, and I think
2:11:14 And I don't think it's political either. I've taken all politics, Alex, out of this film. There are no politics in this film. It's all just humanitarian issues laid bare. And again, I think that old adage, follow the money. Apparently everyone, almost everybody I met had a price. Everybody except Maybe a couple people and it's those few people that did not have a price that actually did do the right thing. That is the, really the message of the film is that we gotta stick together and stand up here. You see there on the film those drug children, Anthony Aguero, and he's in the movie with me. We climbed through a cartel tunnel together. So it's, I'm really excited and I hope that this movie, I believe this movie will change things. Now obviously it's critical to support your work at
2:12:11 and I'm going to be talking about. Keith Media Group and Tucker Carlson all he's doing, and it's going to be available at first there in on the site, and hopefully you're getting a bunch of theaters and then for the election 32 days out any plan. Once the network gets the support it needs to keep doing work like this to then put it out to everybody. Cuz this will sway a lot of people. A lot of Democrats are compartmentalized. They don't realize the evil they're involved in. I mean, this could really move the needle towards victory for Trump. Yeah, I was just talking to the Hodge twins yesterday in Vegas and they were talking about Ocasio-Cortez. And my message is, I hope Ocasio-Cortez watches this.
2:12:51 I almost feel like I could appeal to their better angels here. I don't think this is a political issue at all. I think you watch this, you have to have no soul to watch some of this film and not be affected by it and inspired by it and shocked by it. So I would say to these people who ordinarily might hate Alex Jones or hate me, James O'Keefe, watch the film and it might move you. It might change your perspective on some things. Whether you believe in open borders or not, you got 300,000 missing children, you got half a million children in three years being moved.
2:13:29 And they're saying you can't ask questions because we gotta move these children, we gotta get them into these sponsors' homes. You can't have a soul and not be affected by a lot of this. And Alex, I think in regards to theatrical, it will be in a few theaters, but the partnership with Tucker for me was very important. I'm very grateful for him for partnering with me to do this. And I think we're gonna make a huge splash next week and then go for wider distribution. It comes at the right time. And my call to action here, we had a second Border Patrol agent come forward. His name is Aaron Vecchi. There have been a few Border Patrol agents coming forward. They've been sent cease and desist letters for appearing with me, appearing in this film. They're very brave men. And I think there's gonna be a lot more agents coming forward as a result of this.
