I guess Indiana Jones has come in at others. 113 00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,000 Why did you guys choose to release sound of freedom in that time frame? 114 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,120 Well, that was that was an just to use decision. 115 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,040 I only brought, you know, I brought that out in a meeting just saying that, you know, what would be 116 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:16,560 amazing if we can come out on in the penance day in the United States for July and in the penance 117 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:22,960 day in Mexico, in September, because the symbolism of the day is so important, you know, 118 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,960 what are we celebrating? We're celebrating freedom. Well, guess what? 119 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:35,440 While somebody is going to be celebrating freedom, drinking a beer, barbric in their home, 120 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,720 it's not the same reality for thousands of thousands of hundreds of thousands of children. 121 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,080 They're not going to be celebrating freedom. So what are we celebrating? 122 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:52,320 Why don't we use that day to instead of just celebrating, which we should, but in your hand, 123 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:58,160 we should do something, something that can bring freedom back to those children that are not 124 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:03,440 going to be able to celebrate the photo July, neither in Mexico and the penance day or other countries. 125 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,120 You know, so I thought this is very important to raise awareness on that day, 126 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,880 because I just want to, you know, I don't sleep the same team like before. 127 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:21,680 Every single Steve, I'm talking about, I'm thinking about team butter right now. Steve, I don't 128 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,960 sleep the same after being working in this film. Every single time that I got a bed, 129 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:32,160 you know, I'm just thinking, wow, I picture children, you know, with their hands like this, 130 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:39,520 praying for someone to rescue them. And that it breaks my heart, man. I mean, 131 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,360 how can you sleep the same? How can you celebrate, you know, freedom the same? I don't, you know, 132 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:53,120 celebrating freedom by doing something about, to bring freedom to others. That's how it's 133 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:58,160 celebrate. That's my way of celebrating freedom, you know, and I thought maybe this is a good way of just, 134 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:05,760 you know, raising awareness when the film comes out like why, for July, you're going to release 135 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,440 a film about child trafficking, well, because I want to shock you. I want to, I want you to 136 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,760 open your eyes and to see that this is real, that this is not far from you, this is next door, 137 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:21,200 this is behind your house, this is everywhere. And we need to start talking about this because a 138 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,360 lot of people either they don't know about this problem or they don't want to talk about this problem, 139 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,560 because it's too ugly. I don't know, I don't want to, they're the days someone told me, I mean, 140 00:09:28,560 --> 00:09:32,560 a lot of people tells me sometimes when I'm telling about this problem. I don't want to, I don't 141 00:09:32,560 --> 00:09:35,200 want to know, I don't want to know, I don't want to know, I don't want to know. Well, you should know, 142 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,760 because you have children and they're the target. You should know, how can you prevent 143 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:48,080 this tragedy, if you even know that exists, you need to know. So you can, you know, prevent a tragedy like 144 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:55,200 this, you know, I hope never happened to any of us, but again, it can happen. 145 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:01,840 Edward, here's what I'll get, this is a multi-bay and dollar business. When you say a movement, 146 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,080 it's not just about rescue, one or two children, that's clearly the thing that emotionally pulls 147 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,880 people in, but you're aligned against some of the most powerful forces in the world. You know, 148 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:19,120 look, it's produced or delivered from Mexico and then other place in Latin America through Mexico 149 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:25,040 with this insatiable appetite in the United States, which is unacceptable. But tell me how you're 150 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,760 going to build the movement. We need everybody to see the film and seeing the film will motivate them 151 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:34,240 and also send a message to Hollywood, the people were serious about this, but talk to me, 152 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,800 give me a minute or two that we got left on how you are prepared because you're dedicating your 153 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:44,560 life to this, how you're prepared to build a movement. Well, you know, when I, when I met Tim 154 00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:50,640 Butter, I told him brother, you're a hero, you're a rescue and shield-ring and he said to me, 155 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,800 the water, I am not the solution. What do you mean you're another solution, brother? You just rescue 156 00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:00,560 4,000 children, I'm not the solution. I mean, yes, I can be the solution for one, for two, 157 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:07,600 thanks for being able to get 4,000. We're talking about millions of children. This is like beyond us. 158 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:14,480 This is like so, so, so big. We're not the solution to end this nightmare. We need a movement. 159 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:19,760 And that's when I realize, of course, we need a movement and this movement can be just part of 160 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,480 that movement. Why? Because the movie has the potential to raise awareness and that's why I'm doing 161 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:29,120 this tour in Mexico in 32 states. I'm inviting every government, doesn't matter if they're left 162 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,440 or right up and down. It doesn't matter, it's about the children. So, if we don't get together in this, 163 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:38,000 I don't know what else we can get together, you know. So, I'm inviting every governor, all the 164 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:44,720 legislators from the state, all the leaders from the state, then a thousand people in big auditorium, 165 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,520 we showed them the movie, we raise awareness, people are crying, people are taught, they're 166 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:55,280 very emotional moment and then we send an agreement. And the agreement is a commitment to 167 00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:01,040 end child trafficking in that state. And then it's going to be 32 agreements. So far, we have been 168 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:07,440 we signed 14 agreements, 14 agreements so far. And it's a very changing legislation. 169 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:14,000 Using this, this film and this movement, it's been amazing. For in the Rosary in every state, 170 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,840 this is my motivation, you know, my faith, God, I'm Catholic. And this is, I think, the biggest 171 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:26,000 weapon ever. And I always say when I get to that state, Sakin Lassaramas, which means in English, 172 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:31,040 you know, put your guns out, you know, and I'm talking about the Rosary. And we're going to do 173 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,440 the same tour here in your United States. And eventually, it's going to be worldwide, worldwide tour, 174 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:41,360 where we invite government to sign agreements so we can end child trafficking in that country, 175 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:47,520 in that state, in that city, whatever the problem is. And I think we can, we can, you know, 176 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:54,000 we can end these together, Steve, United States and Mexico, you know, we have hurt each other 177 00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:01,360 for many years. We have helped each other for many years. We need to apologize for all the things 178 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,840 that we have done to each other that hurt us. I'm talking about United States and Mexico. 179 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:11,360 And then we need to work together so we can eradicate all the bad stuff that we have 180 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,920 done to each other. So we can focus on all the great things that we can do together 181 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:20,400 to make America and Mexico great together. I believe in this potential. We're not just neighbors, 182 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:25,200 we're brothers. And if we build this relationship between brothers, you know, we're not going anywhere. 183 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:31,120 United States is not going anywhere. We're going to be here forever. So we should be working together. 184 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,680 So we can resolve these problems and just focus on all the great things that we can do. 185 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:42,000 You know, China is all over the place, as you know, China, it's trying to get into Mexico, Latin America, 186 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:47,360 even here in United States. And if we don't come together strong, these people, you know, 187 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:54,080 you know, their intentions, Steve. Yeah. And what's your social media? 188 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,320 By the way, go to www.angel.com to get your tickets. 189 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,320 www.angel.com slash war room. 190 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,360 4 slash war room. Get your tickets now. Get tickets for your family. 191 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,120 Make sure we're going to make a statement on this. This is going to be the railhead of kind of 192 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,040 what we call firing off the football. What's your social media, Erad Wadder? 193 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:17,680 It's Eduardo Verastigui, Eduardo Verastigui on Twitter, E Verastigui, E Verastigui. And one last message, 194 00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:24,720 you know, as I mentioned before, Steve, there is a demand in the US. There is a supply in Mexico. 195 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,520 There's a lot of kids in Mexico that cannot. 196 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:35,440 That can play anymore outside of their homes because they won't come back home. 197 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:41,200 Someone will, you know, someone will take them to either become secretaries or 198 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,360 God knows what, you know, child traffic and victims of child traffic and victims of 199 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:51,680 Oregon's traffic. These kids not only are going to be rape 10 to 15 times a day, but eventually 200 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,040 they claim to someone that many more because they are not fresh meat anymore and they open them 201 00:14:55,040 --> 00:15:02,320 and sell their organs. So this is a message. US needs to stop consuming rocks. 202 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:09,920 So the supply will end and in Mexico we have a lot of problems and we will fix those problems. 203 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,400 We will fix those problems. I promise you, I'm working on something very big that I will, 204 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:21,200 I will do a big announcement later in your show, Steve, but I'm going to be working on that. 205 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:26,960 But we need to have this relationship as Brotherhood and I believe that together, Brotherhood and 206 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,520 Mary's God and Mexico break together.
