When actor Jim Caviezel was asked about the battle of good versus evil in America, the Passion of the Christ star’s response was coined a “mic-drop moment” by Fox News host Dan Bongino, who “got goosebumps” and said it was one of the “most powerful” answers he has heard in a long time.
It’s not often that Dan Bongino is speechless, but that’s exactly what happened when he heard Jim Caviezel’s impassioned response to questions asked by Fox News host Pete Hegseth. Bongino, who has enjoyed a rise in popularity with his Saturday night Fox News show, boasts 4.9 million followers on Facebook.
The former Secret Service agent was so blown away by Caviezel’s impromptu speech, he introduced the clip to his Facebook following with his own personal thoughts. “About halfway through the interview, Jim Caviezel was asked by Pete Hegseth about a famous speech by Ronald Reagan: ‘A Time for Choosing,'” Bongino said. “And Caviezel gave, I’m getting goosebumps just now talking about it, Caviezel gave one of the most powerful answers I’ve heard in a long time.”
After Bongino showed the clip, he related how he and his wife reacted. “Paula and I were sitting there in our kitchen, and we just both looked at each other,” the radio host said. “Like, I couldn’t have said that better if I spent six months planning that out in a speech. Folks, this fight is coming…for all of you.” Bongino is referring to the fight between good and evil in America, and how that tied into Caviezel’s “mic drop” moment.
“What can Americans learn from Ronald Reagan, what are your thoughts on that at this moment in time?” Pete Hegseth asked Jim Caviezel.

So... what was the comment?
Good question.
In Reagan’s day it was Communism, and thankfully he reduced their influence greatly.
But today the evil taking control of our lives is an pervasive ideology which has creeped into every phase of life and ready now for the full subjugation of the nation. It is at our doorstep.
It’s in the link.
“ It is at our doorstep.”
It is inside the tent. It is no longer foreign, this pervasive ideology, this evil, is in full control of our own government, our own media, our own culture, our own society. It is right here…in power here…not in some foreign land.
“Let’s set the record straight,” the actor began. “There is no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there is only one guaranteed way you can have peace – and you can have it in the next second – surrender.” But, then the Thin Red Line star went on to explain the problem with surrendering.
“Admittedly there is a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson in history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement,” Caviezel said. “And this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face – that their policy of accommodation is appeasement and it gives us no choice between peace and war, only between fight and surrender. If we continue to accommodate — continue to back and retreat — eventually, we will have to face the final demand, the final ultimatum, and what then?”
The Count of Monte Cristo star’s impromptu speech continued. “When Satan has told the people of this world he knows what our answer is going to be,” Caviezel said. “He has told us that we are retreating under the pressure of his cold war, and someday, when the time is right to deliver his final ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary because, you see, by then we will have been so weakened from within spiritually, morally, economically,” he furthered. “He believes this because from our side he’s heard voices pleading for peace at any price or ‘better Red than dead,’ or as one commentator put it, he would rather ‘live on his knees than die on his feet’ and therein lies the road to war because those voices do not speak for the rest of us.”
Caviezel is certainly a person of interest.
It’s a page long, hardly a “comment”.
This came to us from the pinheads who overpopulate academia. I met my first Karl Marx fan at the U of Chicago years ago. She was so self-convinced.
It is: Evil is powerless if the good is unafraid...
I used to watch the show, liked especially the early ones. Caviezel is an excellent actor.
Sounds to me like he quoted Reagan’s speech almost verbatim. Regardless, it’s an incredibly powerful speech. And since so few people have heard it, it’s extremely valuable.
he was the only redeeming thing about the whole fast and furious movies.

and he wasn’t even in them.
Bttt
I love Caviezel as well. Talented man.
Even though the left accuses American conservatives of fascism they completely miss the mark.
Fascism is the merger of state and corporate power. The very definition of the modern left.
For Rinos it is no longer management vs. labor.
The left toady could care less about labor as long as the top leadership supports them. Who cares what the rank and file think?
Our problem is the fascist merger of state and corporate power is world-wide. The middle is been squeezed like never before.
They hate the United States’ people. They hate Italians. They hate Australians. They hate Canadians (and run over them with horses). They hate Ukrainians. They hate Russians. They hate Brazilisans. They hate the little people wherever they are found.
Fortunately they may have made a strategic blunder. Fascism (old style) worked for a while because people identified with the nation. Communism worked for a while dreaming of an international proletariat paradise.
Now we are offered nothing but we will take you property, you will own nothing, we will own everything and you will be our slave and you will be happy.
Sounds like worse messaging than either Fascists or Communists.
May we perhaps call them International Fascists?
Worth watching, thank you for posting.
