At a Dec. 10 gathering for the political action committee (PAC) America’s Future, Hollywood icon Mel Gibson said the upcoming second administration for President-elect Donald Trump will be “a four-year grace period.” The controversial actor and director contrasted that with the current Biden administration, which he called “four years of thinly veiled Marxism.”
During Tuesday night’s gala, held at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, Gibson also addressed the threat of human trafficking. “I got nine kids…if one of them got stolen or trafficked, I’d have to kill someone,” he said to applause.
Gibson served as executive producer of the 2023 blockbuster film “Sound of Freedom.” The Angel Studios movie starred Jim Caviezel, who has appeared at QAnon events and who starred in Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ.”

America’s Future has attracted conservatives who support Christian nationalism and QAnon-adjacent conspiracy theories. Its chairman, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, was Trump’s former national security adviser and received a pardon from Trump in December 2020.
Flynn’s sister Mary Flynn O’Neill, the PAC’s executive director, has accused liberals of harvesting the organs of trafficked children and using their blood “to make themselves youthful.”
Mel Gibson: Democrats Keep Starting Fires
In a clip of Mel Gibson’s speech posted to YouTube, the 68-year-old traditionalist Catholic bemoaned the current state of the country but expressed hope for the next four years.
Hard work will be required, said Gibson, and Trump has “a big job on his hands to turn this place around.” Referring to the Biden administration, Gibson said, “A lot of damage was done, and they continue to start fires, just like around my house.” The former resident of Malibu, California, was apparently referring to wildfires currently raging in that area.
Gibson thanked Flynn for his efforts, saying, “He’s no small part of this, because the problem here is many, many-faceted.” Gibson expressed appreciation for Flynn “and his sister Mary for exposing all these wolves in sheep’s clothing that prey upon our young.”
That’s when the actor referenced his kids, adding that event attendees “won’t tolerate” exploitation and trafficking. “I hope in the next four years we can get back some of that precious commodity that this country has, that commodity called freedom,” Gibson concluded. “We’ll see how much this [second Trump] administration can claw back from the Philistines.”
Two weeks before the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Gibson told a reporter that Democratic candidate Kamala Harris had an “appalling track record” and “the IQ of a fence post.”
Conservatives Attend PAC Event
At Tuesday’s gathering, Flynn presented “Champions of Freedom” awards to former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and singer Kid Rock. Other attendees at the $5,000-per-plate soirée included hockey legend Wayne Gretzky and comedian and new Christian Russell Brand.
Trump, who was listed as an “invited honored guest,” briefly spoke to attendees.
