00:00This is Andrew Callahan speaking, and I make movies, sometimes.

00:09My directorial debut was called This Place Rules on HBO.

00:12The FBI, they don't give a fuck about your foreskin.

00:16We were kind of like storm chasers, if the storm was angry groups of people with low

00:21media literacy.

00:22Fuck Antifa.

00:23Are you a Jew?

00:24Mudholes!

00:25It was fun, but I was still disappointed, because I didn't feel like I'd gotten any

00:28closer to answering the why question that I was actually curious about.

00:35Which is, why did the framework created by QAnon and Trump propaganda cause an innumerable

00:40amount of people to jump headfirst down the rabbit hole, endangering their safety, lives,

00:44and freedom?

00:45I thought I had it figured out.

00:46I pointed fingers at the fear-mongering 24-hour news cycle, and at radio hosts who sell supplements

00:53and t-shirts to paranoid libertarians.

00:55But deep down, I didn't really know.

00:57That was, until I met a man named Kelly J. Patriot at a White Lives Matter rally in Huntington

01:02Beach, California, and asked him one question.

01:05What's the most painful piece of truth that's hurt you?

01:08A guy stealing my home.

01:09His name's Bill Joyner.

01:10Financially.

01:11He wanted to destroy me.

01:12He destroyed my 25-year business, separated and devastated my family, so that answers

01:16your question.

01:17This dude sounds like he sucks.

01:19I don't think he's a good guy, in my opinion.

01:20He's a bad guy, and he's hurt a lot of people, but then again, look what the Democrats are

01:23doing to others.

01:24Kobe Bryant was assassinated by the Clintons.

01:27I hope you fucking die, homie, straight up.

01:29In Kelly's answer, the why that I talked about, which I tried and failed to answer for the

01:33HBO project, seemed to sort of present itself on a silver platter.

01:37Save the babies!

01:38Save the kids!

01:39Save my house!

01:40For Bill Joyner!

01:42In the way that he so casually connected a tragic, personal situation in his life to

01:47a grander spiritual war between good and evil in the country.

01:50I've heard that Hunter Biden and Bill Joyner are tight.

01:53And I was struck with the desire to go beyond the role of a journalist, and to actually

01:56help Kelly move on from his resentments to Bill.

01:59Bill Joyner stole my home, it's all right here, but nobody cares.

02:04And most importantly, become a caring father again, and reunite with his semi-estranged

02:08family.

02:09Kyle's here!

02:10Kyle's here!

02:11So I enlisted the help of his son, Kyle.

02:13He thinks he's my dad.

02:14Yeah, this is my son.

02:15Kyle, there was just a fight in your backyard!

02:17No way!

02:18Was it sick?

02:19It was sick.

02:20I'll fuck with my nigga Kyle!

02:21His daughter, Kaylee.

02:23This is my necklace.

02:24It basically means sapphic, WLW, so it means woman loving woman, because I'm gay.

02:29A professional interventionist named Heather.

02:32How many times do you think you've done this before?

02:33Oh, I've done probably 3,000.

02:36And the local rapper named Uncle Pill.

02:37Now you don't know about the real Chico Blood on my mama's, this ain't shit!

02:41All to see if Kelly was ready to change, and put family before politics.

02:45I went through a lot, we all went through a lot.

02:47I've seen what's impacted me, I've been through a lot of pain, suffering.

02:51And my thought is, unless I can do things to help that situation, after our house was

02:57taken, if our country's taken, it's all over for everybody.

03:00Because if we don't have a country to live in, then we, it's over.

03:12So did Bill Joyner steal his home?

03:14He's cherry picking the facts to support his narrative.
