well, the spear fund founder tim ballard joins me now. so, tim, why is the media hating this movie?d it. the film was made, produced, written like five years, six years ago, way before anyone heard the name qanon. i still don't know what qanon is. in the meantime, they are trying to connect it to some conspiracy when, in fact, like you said this is a true story. these are real kids. i mean, these kids are my friends. they are young adults now the ones that were rescued. they will come out soon and tell their story. it's going to be very awkward when the mainstream media comes after these kids next and accuses them of being a part of some conspiracy when they were rescued from a life of rape. most bizarre thing i have seen in the media, perhaps. >> jesse: super hero movie for dads with brain worms and that it fetish eyes the torture of its child victims. is that what the movie does? >> it absolutely does not do of that. it tells a story based in truth. what i think is happening, jesse. i think that think don't want to have a discussion about what this film is going to compel. why 85,
