Speaker 1 (00:00):
SUSA filmmaker. He's many things I was looking at. Have
you ever read Danish the description they give you in Wikipedia?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Yeah, I have read it, and I can safely say
that it's written by a collection of my worst enemies.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Yeah. For those who have not seen it, it says
Denish is an American right wing political commentator, conspiracy theorist, author, filmmaker,
and convicted felon received a potential pardon by Donald Trumpper's crimes. Well,
isn't that special?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I mean, I think, yeah, Wikipedia is just such garbage,
and these guys hide behind the fact that they're kind
of an open source. But no, they have editors, they
have an editorial position, and you'll notice that people on
the left are amplified and made to look gorgeous and
beautiful and wonderful. And then people like me, even though
I've never peddled the conspiracy theory in my life, I
(00:53):
get these labels hurled at me.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Well, you have a new film coming out and it's
going to be released another a limited theater release next
week next Friday. Is it the twenty seventh? Tell us
a little bit about it. Because you interview Donald Trump
in this documentary. You interview Laura Trump and I've forgotten
who the other. I just got to see the trailer.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I can't wait to see.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
It's the third one is you know Elina Haba, Trump's lawyer.
The film it's called Vindicating Trump, and it, you know,
it makes the case for Trump. Trump is as kind
of a strange character. He inspires such radically opposed reactions
of love and hate. I mean, some people his supporters
will take a bullet for him. Other people aren't too
(01:38):
upset when somebody else tries to assassinate him. So, you know,
you have to go back to Lincoln to find a
president who was this sort of polarizing or divisive. And
yet with Lincoln the division was over slavery, whereas with Trump,
it's over the man. And so what this film does
is it brings out, I think, a whole aspect of
(01:59):
Trump that is very rarely seen in public. Trump is
a guy who sort of holds his feelings back, never
shows vulnerability, never shows the part of himself. And I
wanted to bring that out in a very kind of
one on one with Trump, a conversation that's in the movie,
and then there's a lot of other stuff. They're entertaining recreations.
It's really the Trump story, but told in a fresh way.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Well, it's called vindicating Trump. So is there something in
there about vindicating the president for some of the things
he's been accused of in the past.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yes, absolutely, it covers really the character attacks on Trump.
You know, there's so many people, there are people even
on the Republican side, who say something like this. They say, well,
I don't really like Trump, but I like his policy.
So they say I wish he would shut his mouth,
or they what they're trying to do is they want
like a new and remade Trump. They want to rehabilitate
(02:51):
Trump in some way. And the part of what I
want to argue in this movie is we don't need
to do that. We don't need to remake Trump. We
sort of need to remake our understanding of Trump. Why
because for this time and in this crisis of the
country is facing now, he is the right guy. His
peculiar qualities, including by the way, his almost superhuman courage,
(03:14):
is what the country really needs. So you know, it
would be like if someone were to go to link
it in the Civil War and say, you know General Grant,
you know he bankrupted his family's store, He yells at
his wife, he cusses a lot, he's a heavy drinker.
Pull him off the battlefield. No why, because this guy
knows how to fight. He knows how to take the
Union armies to victory. So that's my point about Trump.
(03:36):
This is a defense not just of Trump's policies, but
also of Trump the man.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Well they've flat outline about him. He doesn't drink at all.
He drinks die cokes.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
No exactly. Well, the thing about Trump that is really,
I think interesting, is that this is a guy who
doesn't need it. It doesn't in a way, his behavior
doesn't make sense. If you or I were facing ninety
one criminal indictments. They're trying to us.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Up for life.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Two people have already tried to assassinate him in one
way or the other. We would be like, we're out
of here. We have a better life waiting for us.
We have mar Lago. So Trump, in a sense, is
putting it all on the line in a very kind
of abnormal way. I mean, any other Republican candidate I
think facing five criminal charges would have long exited the
(04:22):
field and would be currently hiding under their desk.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Right, which, of course only makes the love that much
more angry. Where can we see the movie? Danish?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
So the movie is in It'll be in a thousand
theaters next Friday, so it's actually quite a wide release.
It's nationwide. The website is vindicating Trump dot com. If
you go there, you can put in your zip code
or just put in Houston and it'll pop up all
the theaters. It's in a bunch of places in this area.
And so get tickets for next weekend and go opening weekend.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
And if you want to get a group together of
fifty or more, you can also get a special deal.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Absolutely, you can do both tickets if you want. It's
a fun film to see. What's family, your friends, or
your book club or your your group. Because this is
a film that's inspiring, it's entertaining, it's moving, and it
also opens a window into Trump I think that people
haven't seen.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Nice sir, thanks for joining us as always appreciate it.
