I can't go 9 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 2: because Amesley and I tutor on Wednesdays, but thanks for 10 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 2: the invitation. 11 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 3: Good Can I ask for you tutor? 12 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 2: Jack? Yeah, we're over at Miller Ridge up here in Middletown. 13 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 2: It's an elementary school. Are we doing through our church? 14 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 3: Oh? That's awesome. I mean, I just I respond that 15 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 3: way to. 16 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 2: Work nights for so many years. I was able a 17 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 2: tutor for many years in Cincinnati public schools. I just 18 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 2: love it. The kids are amazing, and you have faith 19 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 2: in the future when you're with. 20 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: Them well and you teaching them. I mean, my reaction 21 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: is because what a blessing it will be to have 22 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: you in the front of the classroom. Jack, because you 23 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: are brilliant. You understand You're great a discussion and conversation, 24 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: and I'm sure you probably use a little bit of 25 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: the Socratic method when you're teaching, which I really appreciate 26 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: that teaching methodology. 27 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 2: I do better in the front of the classroom than 28 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 2: I did when I was a kid. Sitting in the 29 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 2: classroom was a problem child, I believe. Anyway, let me 30 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: tell you about something that's maybe a problem, but I'll 31 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 2: tell you has been a blessing to see. Every week 32 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 2: I tried digging up something the audience might not know, 33 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 2: but this time it seems I'm the only person in 34 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 2: the country who did not know how much Taylor Sheridan 35 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 2: has changed not only television but maybe America's future for 36 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 2: the better. Only now I'm worried about whether he still 37 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 2: wants to Amesy and I don't watch much TV beyond news, 38 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 2: sports and reruns of The Big Bang Theory and of 39 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 2: course Seinfeld. But a couple of weeks ago, a friend 40 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 2: collored me and said, like Jerry's friend Banya, you gotta 41 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: watch this show. It's the best, Jack the best. He 42 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 2: was talking about Landman. Have you seen this, Brian Landman? No, 43 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 2: I have not, well you may want to after we talk. Now, 44 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 2: we signed up for a free trial subscription to Paramount 45 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 2: Plus and binged watch to all twenty episodes they've released 46 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 2: so far. 47 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 3: Is this a Billy Bob Thornton thing? 48 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 1: That's exactly my mom has been talking about that for 49 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: you gotta watch, you gotta watch it. 50 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 3: I don't have that service, and I'm not going to 51 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 3: sign it too. 52 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, watch it. Well, my wife and I actually 53 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 2: saw only about half the episodes. The rest of the 54 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 2: time we kept swiveling our heads looking at each other 55 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 2: because we could not believe you could see and hear 56 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: this much truth even on cable TV. Billy Bob Thornton, 57 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 2: the land man of the title showing why oil, Yes, 58 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 2: I said that dirty word oil and guess They're absolutely 59 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: essential to the world's well being and one of the 60 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: people who risk their lives bringing it to us. Ought 61 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 2: to be American heroes, heroes with feet of clay. Yes, 62 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 2: it's true, heroes who would be considered over sext even 63 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: by Hugh Hefner, Heroes who dropped more f bombs than 64 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 2: Democrats struggling to sound tough. F and Trump is Hitler anyway, 65 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 2: Incredible acting, direction and Most of all, incredible writing by 66 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 2: Landman's creator Taylor Sheridan. Most of you already knew him 67 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 2: from Yellowstone and its prequels. We only just discovered him 68 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 2: and then found that in another series that we have 69 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 2: to finish. Lioness. Taylor Sheretan shows that our mortal enemy, 70 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 2: communist China is the evil empire running the Mexican drug cartels, 71 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 2: which is to say, running that entire country, because Mexico, 72 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 2: like Maduro's Venezuela, turned into nothing but a drug cartel 73 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: and even worse for America, a launchpad for tens of 74 00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 2: millions of undocumented invaders. Again, Amesley and I couldn't believe 75 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: what we were seeing. Think of it. Brian Jijianping's China, 76 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 2: with its nearly one and a half billion people, is 77 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 2: one of the biggest media markets on Earth. For years, 78 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 2: Disney and other media conglomerates have been bowing down to Beijing. 79 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 2: Just one example, China pressured Disney into changing Marvel's Doctor 80 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 2: Strange so that his mentor would not be a Tibetan 81 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 2: Buddhist because China wants to erase tibet. This cow tewing 82 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 2: to dictators is nothing new for Hollywood in the nineteen thirties, 83 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 2: with the exception of Charlie Chaplin, who belittled Adolf Hitler 84 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 2: and the Great Dictator, Nazis were pretty much off limits 85 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 2: in American films until we got into the war because 86 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 2: Germany was a huge market for Hollywood. By the way, 87 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 2: By the way, Brian, can you guess Defure's favorite. 88 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: Film, Oh, don't tell me, it's Charlie Chaplin's Dictator. 89 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 3: No, we didn't that one too much. 90 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 2: Keittler's favorite film was King Kong. Oh, that's rely Yeah, 91 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 2: just I guess he identified with Kik Kok. 92 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: That literally just popped up Turner Classic Movies. Yesterday was 93 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: one of the new films they rolled through the screens 94 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: that you can select from. That's funny timing wise, anyway, 95 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: go ahead, the. 96 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 2: Original is still the best. 97 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. 98 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 2: More recently, about the only movie producer who stood up 99 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 2: to Red China has been No surprise, Tom Cruise. Beijing 100 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 2: objected to the Taiwanese flag patch on mavericks jacket. Red 101 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 2: China threatened to ban the film, so Tom and the 102 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 2: producer said, Yet, even without China, Top Gun, Mavericks earned 103 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 2: one point five billion dollars in counting however, Brian, and 104 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 2: with me, you know, there's always a however, because we 105 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 2: have to keep our eyes open even in good times. 106 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 2: I'm worried about Taylor Sheridan's future. He's had a fight 107 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 2: with Paramount and signed a one billion dollar contract with 108 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 2: the media company. Is unlike Paramount, as Joe Biden is 109 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 2: unlike Donald Trump. Taylor Sheridan will be creating TV series 110 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 2: and films for NBC Universal. I can hear the hissing 111 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 2: from here now. In fairness, Sheridan has always pushed back 112 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,799 Speaker 2: on claims that he's conservative. The writer says he strives 113 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 2: to depict all sides, and he does, But will NBC 114 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: Universal allow him to include a conservative side? When we 115 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 2: debate we win. The only leftists like the ones at NBC. 116 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 2: The only way they prevail is when they cover up 117 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 2: the truth, the way all the establishment media covered up Russiagate, 118 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 2: Hunter Biden's laptop, the truth about what's going on in Minnesota, 119 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: some Holli fraud, plus the funding of ice protesters. Look 120 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: at the Grammys, Oh look well, look at the reports 121 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 2: on the Grammys to see how much the truth about 122 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 2: ice gets reported to the average American. Will Taylor Sheridan 123 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 2: sell out our specialty here. History is teeming with sellouts 124 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 2: from Alcibiades and ancient Greece, who flipped back and forth 125 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 2: between Athens and Persia, to Tallyrant, the French statesman who 126 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 2: flipped from the Bourbon king who was beheaded, to the 127 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 2: French revolutionaries, to the Emperor Napoleon, and vitally flipping back 128 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 2: to the Bourbons. It's no sin to change your mind. 129 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 2: Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump started out as Democrats, but 130 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 2: as both of them explained, each in his own inimitable way, 131 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 2: I'll choose Reagan's I did not leave the Democrat Party. 132 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 2: The Democrat Party left me, and both Trump and Reagan 133 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 2: became Republicans because of the party now a big government, 134 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 2: big business socialism. They didn't want to be Democrats anymore. 135 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 2: What I would call fascism of the Mussolini stamp. That's 136 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 2: what the Democrats are, and that's why nationals partnering with 137 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 2: Red China love them. No Taiwan, these flags on their 138 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 2: jackets and closing. Let me stress, Brian, we don't know 139 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 2: what Tailor Sheridan will do. I'm hoping this quite essential 140 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 2: cowboy will stick to his guns because a Sheridan has 141 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 2: a CIA agent a lioness declaring in Season one, I 142 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 2: love my country. She didn't say I love the country 143 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 2: that I want to turn this into a socialist paradise. 144 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 2: She said, I love my country. 145 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: What do you say, partner, Well, I agree, I love 146 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: my country too, in spite of its wartz. And I 147 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: just know what happens to be, by comparison, the best 148 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: place on the planet to live, and we are all 149 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 1: uniquely blessed by God for having been born here. But 150 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: going back to your movie, and I know how much 151 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: of a movie buff you are, as am I I'm 152 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 1: certain that you are painful of a are also also 153 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: of speaking back, you know, like going after Nazis and 154 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: who the villain is in any given movie. This trend 155 00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: that I've observed over my life. You know, you used 156 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: to have movies with very defined villains, Like there were 157 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: at one point a lot of villains in movies that 158 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: were terrorists, right, quite often Middle East fundamentalist terrorists. But 159 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: that was a legitimate concept. There were terrorists in the world, 160 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: and Hollywood chose to use them as perhaps the villain 161 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: in the movie. Some you know, like Spector Organization, which 162 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: is you know, whatever, they wanted to take over the world. 163 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: But villains in movies, especially over the past fifteen twenty 164 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: years now, all seem to be corporate executives or corrupt 165 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: law enforcement officers. It's all something you know, within the 166 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: system we have here, and they choose rather than focus 167 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: on some evil outside force legitimates. It may be they 168 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: always make up villains who happen to be well part 169 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: of the capitalist empire. If I could put it so loosely, 170 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: mean you've seen that trend or do you think that 171 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: I'm way off on that? 172 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 2: Oh? No, I think you're absolutely right, although you know, 173 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 2: a lot of the biggest supporters of the Democrats now 174 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 2: are the multi national generations that want to be able 175 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 2: to do business with places like China. But I also 176 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 2: see that you know again, what Landman shows us, the 177 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 2: vital part oil plays in our lives and where it 178 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 2: comes from, that's largely ignored by most other television. The 179 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 2: most glaring example today of what television news does not 180 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 2: show us what it ignores on TV. And the biggest 181 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,839 Speaker 2: problem with TV news is not what it shows us, 182 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,559 Speaker 2: it's what it ignores. The most glaring example is what's 183 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 2: going on right now in Iran. Whatever you think of 184 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 2: US involvement, the Mullas have cut off electricity, cut off 185 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 2: the internet, cut off social media in Iran, knowing that 186 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 2: American television, even the Fox News channel, will largely ignore 187 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 2: a black to out Iran and instead lead each of 188 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,079 Speaker 2: its news programs every hour of every day, every week 189 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 2: with a place that does provide plenty of violent, noisy 190 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 2: video Minneapolis. Minneapolis is important, but other places, other stories 191 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 2: are important too, including stories that are hard to tell. Affordability, health, insurance, education. 192 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,719 Speaker 2: All the polls show that's what voters in November are 193 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 2: really going to care about. This is a battle I 194 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 2: thought every day in local newsrooms. We cannot be prisoners 195 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 2: Brian of If it bleeds, it leads in local, much 196 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 2: less national news. We cannot wait for Taylor Sheridan to 197 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 2: tell these stories. 198 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: Well, if at least Taylor Sheridan is currently telling them. 199 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: As you explain it, you're right, though, I just struggle 200 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: to find a conservative message literally anywhere, so I think 201 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: obviously that's why you're highlighting it. Oh look, if you 202 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: look there, it is right there for auto behold. But 203 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: isn't it strange, Jack Avan in this America that you 204 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: and I have grown up in that you're raising this 205 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: as a point that this is even a thing. You've 206 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: got to point to Landman to show that, yes, there's 207 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: a lone conservative, normal, proper logical thinking program out there 208 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 1: that is in fact pointing out the benefits of oil. 209 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: I just I just am so troubled by that, Jack, 210 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: that we have moved that far that you can't even 211 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: expect to get some message like that. 212 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 3: Look one show and I are. 213 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 2: We're free marketeers. The way to change this is through 214 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 2: the market. Hollywood noticed when Tom Cruise earned one and 215 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 2: a half billion dollars with The Maverick, we started to 216 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 2: see some movies that were more like that. People are 217 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 2: going to be following Taylor Sheridan too. We have to 218 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 2: make sure we watch the things that affirm our values 219 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 2: and ignore the things. And this is very hard to 220 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 2: do in society, and especially very hard for our children 221 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 2: and grandchildren to do. We have to ignore the things 222 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 2: that tear down this country. 223 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, there was the Passion of the Christ, wasn't it 224 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: back in early two thousands when Mel Gibson produced that, 225 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,839 Speaker 1: and it was a religious movie, it was a Christian movie, 226 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: and it made like gazillions of dollars. There was a 227 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: time in Hollywood when they support did the Christian message. 228 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: I mean they churned out one movie after another that 229 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: had an underlying Christian theme to it. Why because the 230 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: American people loved going to movies with that message. And 231 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: when he released this thing on his own I guess, 232 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: funded by himself with his own budgets, certainly wasn't a 233 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: Hollywood back concept. People broke down the doors to go 234 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: see it, and he made millions and millions of dollars. 235 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: I mean red Flag. Hey, Hollywood, you want to make money, 236 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: why not provide a movie like this that the people 237 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: obviously are clamoring for. I don't know they got that 238 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: message there, Jack. 239 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,320 Speaker 2: I see a lot of religious movies now, certainly many 240 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 2: more than I did before in the Passion of the Christ, 241 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 2: mostly around the Easter, but still, and all kinds of 242 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 2: other movies that include religion at least in the background, 243 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 2: really in the foreground when you watch them. I'm thinking now, 244 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 2: because the Super Bowl is coming up, about the Kurt 245 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 2: Warner movie. I forget the title, but you know, his 246 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 2: religion was at the very heart of his being able 247 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 2: to turn around his football career. Those movies are out 248 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 2: there and they make a lot, a lot of money. 249 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: Okay, well more than I would know of, because I'll 250 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: be the first person who admit my general broad ignorance 251 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 1: regarding recent films because I can't remember the last time 252 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: I've been to a movie theater. Wait for it to 253 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: show up on cable. Jack Avinon always Wonderful. Appreciate the 254 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: note of optimism built into there. Let's hope things keep 255 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: moving more in that direction, because, of course, these clear 256 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: thinking messages need to get out, and that's one of 257 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: the reasons why I love you being on my show. 258 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: Clear thinking Messages, Great observations. 259 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 3: Jack. 260 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: We'll do this again next Wednesday, Another Big Picture every 261 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: Wednesday at seven oh five.
