The trailer opens with lines from Psalm 23, including “The Lord is my shepherd” and “I will fear no evil.” Its dialogue includes a command to get people off their land, a warning to “Walt” to get behind the speaker, and a character’s vow not to let anyone come into his town, burn down homes, and kill his friends. After a speaker says, “I’ll keep you safe,” the trailer ends with “Amen” and identifies *Ghost Soldier* as PG-13 and now playing in theaters. The host dates the broadcast Wednesday, November 11, 2026, and says it is Veterans Day. The host says Jim Caviezel had been expected that morning, but the program instead covered the commemoration at Arlington National Cemetery, and projects *Ghost Soldiers* to be the number-one movie in America as it opens that day. Caviezel calls the film a remedy for people feeling down after the elections and a “kick-ass film” in the vein of Charlton Heston’s movies, with honor, faith, and “warriorship.” Caviezel identifies Chris Papasodero, a Green Beret, as the scriptwriter, and says veterans trained him, especially in weapons and fighting. He mentions starting with *G.I. Jane* and names Harry Humphries, Scott Helvestern, Hashim Shalon, and David Bruce from the Navy SEAL community. He says he wanted a film representing the country that “wasn’t emasculating” and “isn’t woke,” and quotes Trump: “Go woke, go broke.” He describes the story as a man standing up to tyranny, with land taken from people unable to defend themselves and people losing their water. Caviezel compares it to American soldiers at Concord Bridge, where he says the British were going to take American gunpowder, and describes the man as confronting corporations; he calls the film’s gist “we’re taking our country back.” Caviezel says the film was shown in Coronado to Navy SEALs and their sons, as well as aviators and their sons. He recalls boys running around and shouting that it was their papa fighting for and loving them, says “we need this now,” and thanks Sony, Tom Rothman, Sanford Panitch, Ange Gianetti, and Josh Goldstein for supporting the film.
