Former President Donald Trump hosted actor Jim Caviezel and real-life former DHS agent Tim Ballard for a screening of the film based on Ballard’s efforts to rescue children from sex traffickers in Columbia, “Sound of Freedom.”
The film has been a breakout hit and a favorite of conservative audiences, but has received highly politicized reviews from the establishment media which has tied it to “QAnon” conspiracy theories, despite it being based on a true story.
Kari Lake, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, Steve Bannon, and Paula White were among those in the former president’s inner circle who attended the event, with White offering a pre-screening prayer, The Epoch Times reported.
“It’s been pretty crazy out there. It’s a vicious world. These are vicious people; these are very sick people—they’re deranged,” Trump said in remarks before the movie, which has become intertwined in the public eye with his political career. “We have a lot of them out who really don’t stand for what we stand for. But for some reason, the public understands it better than they’ve ever understood it before and are stepping up like I’ve never seen before.”
After watching the film, during which conservative commentator Jack Posobiec noted on Twitter he remained riveted, sitting between Ballard and Caviezel, Trump applauded the “grate movie,” noting he could “see why it’s doing so well.”
“Sound of Freedom” has been an unexpected wild success at the box office, with sales surpassing the latest installments of the classic franchises “Indiana Jones” and “Mission Impossible.”

An elderly veteran pro-life protester was assaulted in an unprovoked attack earlier this month as she sat outside an abortion clinic in a suburb of Washington, D.C.
Olga Fairfax, LifeSiteNews reports, was sitting outside the Takoma Park Silver Spring Gynecology and Family Planning center with a sign depicting the violent reality of what abortion does to unborn babies, when the assailant jumped out of a car and began hitting her.
The attacker held a can of black spray paint and, trying to cover up the sign, sprayed Fairfax’s clothing and skin.
The elderly activist screamed for help but was ignored by passersby who kept driving or walking to neighboring shops.
Finally, one man stopped his car and got out to help Fairfax, managing to subdue the attacker.
“For fifty years I’ve been in this war. Before this war is over, we ourselves will see our blood spilled on the sidewalk,” she said, still sore days after the attack. “It’s a war: God against Satan, good against evil.”
“I don’t know her name, but I put my attacker on my prayer list right away,” she also said.

Thousands of people were baptized at California’s Pirate Cove beach earlier this month in a scene harking back to the early days of the Jesus Movement, as shown in the recent film “Jesus Revolution.”
However, as organizers shared, the sheer number of those who showed up to be baptized on July 8 far surpassed any single event like those shown in the film.
Pastor Greg Laurie, whose story the film “Jesus Revolution” centers around, and Harvest Christian Fellowship organized the “Jesus Revolution Pirate's Cove Beach Baptism” just days after a stirring revival event, SoCal Harvest, where over 3,000 made professions of faith.
"We invited them all to this baptism," Laurie explained, as The Christian Post reported.
Laurie called the incredible turnout at the Pirate’s Cove event a “powerful work of the Holy Spirit” that harkens back to the events he witnessed in the 1970s.
"I was there and I was baptized myself at one of them," Laurie explained. "But this is different. First, it is much larger than anything we ever did. The line of people to be baptized was half a mile long and people waited patiently for 2 hours or more and they did not seem to mind one bit."
"We have held baptisms at Pirate's Cove but nothing we have done comes close to this event we just did. It may be the largest baptism in history,” he continued.
One of the people who showed up to be baptized was an 85-year-old man who had seen “Jesus Revolution” and decided to give his life to the Lord, something his family never expected to happen as Laurie recounted.
"His family could not believe it. One of them said, he is literally the last person they ever expected would come to Christ."
Laurie noted that Harvest will be following up with the attendants of the mass baptism to ensure they are plugged into a church community.
