  Speaker 1: Well, it's been quite a day in Israel. Now you
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: know Densh de Suza, the great author, scholar, a filmmaker.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: His latest film, beautiful film, powerful film documentary. It's called
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: The Dragons Prophecy. It's out. We want you to see it.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: It's the most incredible look back at October seventh, with
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: footage never before seen and the whole history to ancient times.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: It's a powerful film, The Dragon's Prophecy. Densh de Suzza,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: how you doing.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Pleasure?
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: And yes, of course what an exhilarating We profiled one
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: of the families I hated him, a named Leshai Miran
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: outside her little kibbutz, interviewed a woman nahal Oz community
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: and she described and harrowing in bill what happened to
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: them on October seventh. And of course she and the
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: two little girls have been the care dad for two
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: years straight. So to see some picture and without the
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: warning of their family reunion, I mean I was quite overwhelmed,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: my wife. It's very personal in that sense.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Denish, can we call you right back? I think
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: your phone is cracking up. Let's let's call him right back,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: because that's not him, that's the phone. Yeah, it's a
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: very very powerful film. October seventh. He's got footage that
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: is so graphic of what happened and so real, and
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: it's an amazing film. The Dragon's Prophecy. You can buy it,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: it's on Amazon, it's there's showings in theaters. But it's
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: a great film and it's so appropriate today. Hostages released,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: they're back with their families. The President in Egypt right
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: now meeting with all these world leaders who are partners
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: in this deal. And this film is a look like
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: at October seventh like you've never seen before. An interviews.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Oh we got them back, deniesh Desusa. How are you?
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Let's see if it's a.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Hey Mark, I'm doing great. Oh you hear me? Better?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Uch much better? Now? Where where can people see the film?
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: So the film is in streaming and DVD and go
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: to the website which is The Dragonsploral, The Dragons prophecyfilm
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: dot Com. You can stream it, you can order your DVDs.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: It ties into all the stuff going on now. So
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: it's a wonderfully timely film, and it also is although
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: it takes you to some dark places, it ends on
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: a note of exhilaration, spiritual renewal, so it seems particularly
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: fitting for this moment.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the ultimate film on what happened on October sinth.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: The footage is quite amazing that you've gotten a hold of.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: And how long did this whole thing take to do?
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Well, we started it about a year ago, and remarkably
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: the film is even more timely than when we were
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: shooting it. I show footage that's never before seen of
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: October seventh. Interestingly, the government of Israel opted to hold
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: back on that footage, I think out of respect for
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the families, but I thought it's important for people to
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: be on the scene and get some real experiential sense
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: of what that was like. And then the film goes
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: to the widest possible themes, which is it tries to
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: interpret the events not just from a political but also
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: from a biblical and a prophetic perspective.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, today obviously historic, a wonderful day piece. But how
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: much faith do you have in this holding up this
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: whole piece deal over the years.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Well, I think if you believe the Bible, this issue
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: is not going to be permanently resolved until maybe the
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: end of time. I've seen so many other conflicts settled
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: and this one continues to fester. Now, I do want
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: to credit Trump. I mean, over my adult lifetime, I've
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: seen the Nixon Plan, the Carter Plan, the Clinton Plan,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: and none of them have really made measurable progress. But
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: this really is a momentous step forward. So I won't
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: say I'm optimistic, but I am hopeful that we can
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: build on what we see today.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the film is called The Dragon's Prophecy. You've got
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: to see this film and you deal with how far
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: back into ancient times this all goes. You know, presidents
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: have tried giving land. In this deal, it's about giving
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: an economy and booming economy to going back to the beginning,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: what is really the root of this conflict.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Well, the biblical perspective basically says that Israel has always
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: been fighting for its life, and in fact, there is
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: an eerie similarity between this war that we've been witnessing
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: for two years and the ancient war between the Israelites
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: and their longtime enemy called the Philistines now Philistine Palestine.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: That is actually the same word. It's the same name.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: We're not just talking about the same name. We're talking
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: about very similar tactics. The ancient Philistines would capture Israelites
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: would drag them literally to Gaza. Gaza's mentioned in the Bible,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: and then in the Bible it says that when Samson,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: the hero who represents the strength of Israel, is captured,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: he's blinded in somewhat the same way Israel was blinded
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: in October seventh. He was paraded in front of the
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: people of Gaza quote for their entertainment. And similarly with
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: the captives of October seventh, they were stripped to the waist,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: they were dragged to Gaza, they were paraded while people
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: were shouting a lahuak bar. So all of this is
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: a way of saying that the events that we're seeing
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: in front of our eyes are not just ordinary events.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: They have deep biblical resonance, and so we have a
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: wide angle lens in looking at all of this in
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: this film.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: It's a powerful film. It's called The Dragons to See
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: and what's the website.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: The website is The Dragons prophecyfilm dot com. It's available
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: in streaming and in DVD now. It's also available on
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: the platform called Rumble where you can kind of pay
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: per view at just purchase and click and watch. So
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: great film to watch right now, because it's very much
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: in tune with the spirit of renewal. We've been hearing
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: a lot about that since Charlie Kirk's death. I think
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: that idea is reinforced by what happened today, and so
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: this is a film that will leave you exhilarated and motivated.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you've got great interviews in there with Nyahu
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and Mike Kukaby. Talk about Mike Kukaby's role in all
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: this well.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Huckaby is a very interesting character because he is not
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: only the ambassador and a politician, but he's also a pastor.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: And one of the big issues that we're dealing with
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: now in critiques of Israel and Jews from the right
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: is this question of whether or not somehow the New
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Testament and Jesus makes the Old Testament obsolete. I mean
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: that idea is in fact, on the face of it, preposterous, right,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: because from the Old Testament we get creation, we get
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the idea of fall in human nature, we get the
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Ten Commandments, we get the Hebrew Profits. So the idea
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: that this can all be kind of kicked out from
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: under us, I think is an affront to Christianity over
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: two thousand years, but yet we're hearing it from influential
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: voices on the right, and so it's sort of drawn
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: me somewhat reluctantly into a public confrontation with the characters
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: because I think it's bad for Maga, it's bad for Trump,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: but it's also ultimately bad for Christianity.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's a great film. Denish Desius has made
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of great films through the years, but this
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: one of documentary called The Dragons Prophecy no more interesting
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: examination of October seventh, great interviews. Good give us the
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: website again.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: The website is the Dragons plural The Dragon's Prophecy Film.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Don't forget the film The Dragon's Prophecyfilm dot Com. Check
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: it out. You really won't regret it. It's a little
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: bit of a departure for me because most of my
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: other films have been, in one way or another, just
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: about the meaning of America looked at from a political
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: and historical perspective. But this film engages the world. It
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: engages the human soul, the great struggle between good and evil,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: you know, God and the devil. The dragon actually is
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: a reference to Satan himself from the Book of revelation.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: So this is a film that takes on a much
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: bigger topic than I've dealt with before, and it uses
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: a more spiritual lens than I have in my earlier work.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, you can buy you can buy the DVD
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: on Amazon, and well you can also see it un
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Rumbled the Dragon's Prophecies on Rumble if you want to
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: pay for review it there. Well, great work, deniesh Desusa,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: thanks for being.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: With us, really appreciate it.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Take care. It's a powerful film, and what
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: a day it's been. Hey, don't forget Buck and Clay
