the spectrum to defend the homeland. It
0:15
maximizes a scarce national resource, wireless spectrum,
0:17
to protect national security and deliver greater
0:19
competition and lower costs. Without forcing the
0:22
US military to waste 120 billion dollars
0:24
relocating critical defense systems. America won't win
0:26
by letting three big cellular companies keep
0:29
US spectrum policy stuck in the past.
0:31
reporting spectrum for their exclusive use
0:33
to limit competition here at home
0:35
while giving Chinese companies like Huawei
0:37
and ZTE a big leg up
0:39
overseas. For America to lead federal
0:41
policy makers must build on the
0:43
proven success of US spectrum sharing
0:45
to ensure national security, turbocharged domestic
0:47
manufacturing, rural connectivity, and create American
0:49
jobs. Let's keep America at the
0:51

2:56
February 2024 Nelson Report. What's up
2:58
here on Marlopaz? Join me now
3:01
on Zoom. Actor Zachary Lima, what's
3:03
going on Zach? Oh man, just
3:05
loving life. Just very happy, very
3:07
blessed. You're looking good as always.
3:09
Congrats on the new movie called
3:12
The Unbreakable Boy. It's a true
3:14
story, right? I love true stories.
3:16
What's it about? Yes, it's a
3:18
true story. And I love true stories
3:20
too. That's part of the reason I
3:22
wanted to do it. It's, I mean, honestly,
3:24
it's real slice of life. It's very grounded.
3:26
It's about a family, a couple that, you
3:28
know, they start dating and on their third
3:30
day, they get pregnant and they're like, oh,
3:32
what do we do? And they're like, well,
3:34
you know, we should see this through. And
3:36
so they choose to have the kid. while
3:39
they're still navigating their own relationship. And
3:41
their child is born and immediately there's
3:43
like some interesting complications. They're not really
3:45
sure what's going on and they find
3:47
out that their child has osteogenesis imperfecta,
3:49
which is brittle bones disease. And so
3:51
already they're like, wow, okay, this is
3:53
something that we gotta navigate. And then
3:55
they have a second child and they're
3:57
okay, they're normal and healthy. And then
3:59
a few. goes on and they realize
4:01
that their oldest son also then
4:03
gets diagnosed with autism. And so
4:05
the movie is really about this
4:07
family navigating the waters of what
4:09
it means to you know raise
4:11
you know two boys but the
4:14
oldest being on the autistic spectrum
4:16
and you know the the couple
4:18
themselves kind of fighting their own
4:20
inner demons and trying to figure out
4:22
how to love themselves, Walt's trying to
4:24
love each other, Walt's trying to love
4:26
their children. And again, navigating what are
4:28
waters that a lot of people are
4:30
now navigating, which is, you know, the
4:32
autistic spectrum. And I think that's something
4:35
that kind of touches everybody's life at
4:37
this point. It's become very ubiquitous. And
4:39
so that's really what the story is
4:41
about. I love the premise and I
4:43
totally see that being a real-life
4:45
scenario, which obviously it was and
4:48
relationships are challenging enough to have
4:50
those sort of additional obstacles. My
4:52
gosh. Is there a faith-based element
4:55
I got imagined? Did they turn to that
4:57
at all? They do, yeah, absolutely. You
4:59
know, I would say it's
5:01
like a fate infused film,
5:03
you know, it's something that
5:05
the couple, Scott and Teresa,
5:07
you know, they're not, they're
5:09
not specifically religious or faith-based
5:11
people to begin with, but
5:13
as they are, you know,
5:15
navigating their journey, they, you
5:17
know, start going to church
5:19
and then ultimately, you know,
5:21
Scott, the father that I
5:23
play, you know, a lot
5:25
of the film is... him
5:27
coming to terms with accepting
5:30
the life that you weren't
5:32
expecting, right? Like so much
5:34
of. Our journey as human beings is we
5:36
have these ideas and these expectations of how
5:38
life is supposed to go. Right. And God
5:41
is constantly being like, yeah, no, you don't
5:43
get to determine where your life is going.
5:45
We obviously, you know, can make decisions and
5:47
we can make choices and those can lead
5:49
to certain places. But at the end of
5:51
the day, there's so much that's outside of
5:53
our control. And Scott fights that and fights
5:55
that because he wasn't expecting to have a child
5:57
that was struggling with the things that...
6:00
Austin, his son with autism is
6:02
struggling with, but through that, his
6:04
son, Austin, is, you know, just
6:07
boundlessly optimistic and so full of love
6:09
and so full of acceptance. And Scott
6:11
really learns, you know, as... Parents do,
6:13
right? Like parents are teachers, but the
6:15
children are really teaching us all the
6:17
time so much more than we can
6:19
ever imagine. And so Scott is learning
6:21
so much from his son how to
6:23
be more present, how to be more
6:25
loving, how to be more accepting. It's
6:27
a really beautiful man. It's a really,
6:29
really beautiful story. It sounds like a
6:31
beautiful film. Congrats on that. And coincidentally,
6:34
you also have your first child on
6:36
the way, right? I do, I do. How
6:38
far along is your lady? She's seven
6:40
months. Yeah, she's giving birth in just
6:42
a couple of months, beginning of April.
6:44
I'm so pumped. I've wanted to be
6:46
a dad since I was a kid.
6:48
So this is, you know, a real
6:50
dream come true. And my girlfriend Maggie
6:52
is so wonderful and she's going to
6:55
be such a great mom. And so
6:57
we're really, really pumped about that. And
6:59
we're going to have our kid out
7:01
here in Southern California where I grew
7:03
up in Ventura, surrounded by my family.
7:05
So yeah, it's a whole new chapter
7:07
of life and one that I am really excited
7:09
about, you know, going on. It's the best,
7:12
it's the best role you're ever going to
7:14
have. I'm going to tell you right now.
7:16
Yeah, amen to that. Yeah, you're going to
7:18
love it. Do you already know what
7:20
you're having? We don't. No, we're going
7:22
to wait till the end. I did
7:24
too. It's the best. I did that
7:26
with all my kids. Good for you.
7:28
We're in the minority, but it's, you're
7:30
on a high regardless. Yeah. You're on
7:32
high regardless. Yeah, I don't I don't
7:35
I don't regret anybody who like, you
7:37
know, for me it was kind of
7:39
like I could I was good either
7:41
way. But Maggie, you know, it was
7:43
really interesting. It was a really beautiful
7:45
observation. She was like, listen, I, you
7:47
know, if I got to carry this
7:49
baby all the way to term and then
7:51
I got to push this thing out of
7:53
me, I want every last little bonus at
7:55
the end, you know, you know, and so
7:58
if we don't know what the sex Let's
8:00
wait until the end. It's a big
8:02
thing and it's so worth it. That's
8:04
cool that she had the attitude I
8:07
had to actually do some convincing To
8:09
my wife, but then She the other
8:11
kid she didn't fight me on it.
8:13
So no, it's great. Good to hear
8:15
man. That's awesome You also have some
8:17
other flicks on the way a movie
8:19
called not without hope this one's a
8:21
survival film about a boating accident. Oh
8:23
the one with the the the the
8:26
NFL players? Yes, they had a bran
8:28
the real sports version I think of.
8:30
That was fascinating. Oh this is great.
8:32
When is this coming out? I don't
8:34
know. We're still in post-production on it.
8:36
They're still trying to figure out ultimately
8:38
selling it to the right buyer and
8:40
distributor and all that stuff. So I
8:42
think I hope that we'll figure that
8:44
out. Like it will come out at
8:46
some point this year. I think that's
8:48
the plan. Not without help is the
8:50
name of it, right? Yep, not without hope.
8:52
Also a true story. Yes, no I love
8:55
that. I'm always talking again when they say
8:57
not without story. I'm assuming you're playing
8:59
The Survivor? I'm playing The Survivor, yeah.
9:01
It's a really, really heavy movie as
9:03
you can imagine. Oh my gosh, just
9:06
the story itself. You're watching, you can't
9:08
even believe it. Where'd you shoot it?
9:10
We shot an Malta of all places.
9:12
Wow. Yeah, yeah, Malta. Malta has been
9:14
having kind of a moment because they
9:16
have a good film incentive program. And
9:18
also they have, because the whole movie
9:20
takes place basically in the ocean, and
9:22
so we needed to find a, you
9:24
know, they have these big water tanks
9:26
essentially that you can go filming and
9:28
Malta's got one of the, there's probably
9:30
like half a dozen around the world
9:32
and Malta's got one of those tanks
9:34
and so that's what we shot. That's
9:36
cool. I'm looking forward to checking
9:38
forward to checking that. Liam Nieson,
9:40
the legend called Hotel Tehran. Have
9:42
you started filming that one yet
9:45
or? That's all, yep, we already
9:47
filmed that, we filmed that last fall,
9:49
we shot for a month in Mississippi
9:51
and then we shot a few months
9:53
in the Republic of Georgia out in
9:55
Eurasia. Yeah, it was a trip. You've
9:57
been doing some, rocking up some miles.
10:00
right there. How was Georgia and
10:02
how was Liam Nieson? Every time
10:04
I talk to him, I really
10:06
got to pay attention. He is
10:08
such a low talker, right? My
10:10
guy is like mad whispery and
10:12
I'm like, say it again, I
10:14
really, I got to imagine acting,
10:16
that's got to be tough, you
10:18
can't hardly hear the guy. No,
10:20
no, no. Honestly, man, it was
10:22
it was dreamy. I mean, he's
10:24
such a good dude. Oh, he's
10:26
a great dude. I just can't
10:28
hear him. Yeah, yeah, he's a
10:30
great dude and and he plays
10:32
the role so well. I mean,
10:34
it's definitely in his wheelhouse. I
10:36
mean, that's, you know, ultimately why
10:38
I think, you know, we wanted
10:40
somebody like Liam to portray that
10:42
role happened in, you know, the
10:44
late 70s. there were a lot
10:46
of, well, there were a lot
10:48
of people fleeing Iran and there
10:50
was a lot of money and
10:52
gold and things that were left
10:54
behind while people were fleeing. And
10:56
so I play a CIA operative
10:58
kind of leader of a squad
11:00
of operatives that we're going into
11:02
save a political prisoner and in
11:04
the process also how it's kind
11:06
of like a. like an action
11:08
heist flick, so there's like a
11:10
high settlement involved where we got
11:12
to rob this place of the
11:14
gold that was left behind in
11:16
it. So and that I think
11:18
will also, I don't know that
11:20
will come out this year, maybe
11:22
next year, but later this year
11:24
I did a film called Sarah's
11:26
Oil that I believe is going
11:28
to be coming out this Christmas
11:30
and that's a true story. A
11:32
beautiful, wonderful, incredible true story. of
11:34
in 1911, this 10 year old
11:36
black girl in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was
11:38
ultimately given because she was a
11:40
member of the, I can't remember
11:42
which tribe, I'm gonna blow that,
11:44
but anyway, she was a member
11:46
of one of the native tribes.
11:48
And when the United States gave
11:50
land back to the tribes, she
11:52
being older than nine years old,
11:54
she got her own 160 acres.
11:56
And what the, you know, the
11:58
government thought was probably, you know,
12:00
you land because you couldn't grow
12:02
anything on it, but she was
12:04
very special, precocious, spiritual, intelligent girl
12:06
who could read and write and
12:08
she was reading the newspapers and
12:10
she saw that the oil boom
12:12
was coming across the nation and
12:14
she went to her land and
12:16
she went to her land and
12:18
she prayed over her land and
12:20
she prayed over her land and
12:22
she prayed over her land and
12:24
she believed that God told her
12:26
that there was oil in it.
12:28
in 1911. That's an awesome story.
12:30
That's an incredible story. How have
12:32
I not heard about that story
12:34
before? Because there's a lot of
12:36
these stories that unfortunately got married.
12:38
Yeah. So we made that film,
12:40
we shot that last summer in
12:42
Tulsa, and that comes out I
12:44
believe this Christmas. So that'll be
12:46
coming out soon too. I want
12:48
to watch all these movies. Great
12:50
job, man. We'll talk about all
12:52
of them when we, when they
12:54
release. We will, man. Congratulations, both
12:56
professionally and personally, buddy, good luck.
12:58
Thank you. In a couple months,
13:00
and hopefully we'll get to see
13:02
you soon in person. Listen, meanwhile,
13:05
be sure to catch Jack in
13:07
the new film, The Unbreakable Boy,
13:09
which is out right now. Thanks
13:11
for checking it, man. Thanks, Mario.
