It's 21 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: kind of sad, but you have this never ending ignoring 22 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: of what's going on in China. Here's Karine Jean Pierre 23 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: saying the White House has nothing to a preview regarding China. 24 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: Has the White House communicated to Beijing any possible consequences 25 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 1: of its crackdown on protesters? And also is the White 26 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: House considering saying something or using existing US government tools 27 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: to help Chinese citizens get around internet blocks. So I 28 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: don't have anything to preview for you at this time 29 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: on you know, anything connected to the social media your 30 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: first year second question, I don't have any calls to 31 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: preview t for you at this time. Look, we've been 32 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: very clear that people have a right to peacefully protesting 33 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: without fear. Oh okay, saying nothing, do nothing, ignore it, 34 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: no evil, hear no evil, say no evil. Okay, Tim Cook. Now, 35 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: I didn't know this until my staff did a lot 36 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: of research on this. That they produce a lot of 37 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: their products in places like China. Correct me if I'm wrong, Linda. 38 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: I believe we did a segment that Apple also was 39 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: doing some of are having some of their production in 40 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: a ran of all places where, by the way, they 41 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: are ongoing protests all over the country there too, and 42 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: not a word from Joe Biden just to gently push 43 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: back on that. Not production, but they actually opened a 44 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: store in Tehran and there was widespread response to that 45 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: because they felt that it was not in keeping with 46 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: their standards, because of the amount of people that are 47 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: hurt because of their personal lifestyles and what have you. 48 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: And Tim Cook's obviously been very outspoken on that. And 49 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: Tim Cook has been asked repeatedly about the China connections 50 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: with Apple and he gives no response. Mister Cooke, do 51 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: you support the Chinese people's to protest? Do you have 52 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: any reaction to the factory workers that were beaten and 53 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: detained for protesting COVID lockdowns? Do you regret restricting air 54 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: drop access that protesters used to evade surveillance from the 55 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: Chinese government? Do you think it's problematic to do business 56 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: with the Communist Chinese Party when they suppress human rights? 57 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: I mean the silence is deafening. Is the bottom line 58 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: really all that important? Anyway? Joining us now is doctor 59 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: Waifung Zong. He's a senior research fellow at George Mason University, 60 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,119 Speaker 1: and he's going to help us on pack what's really 61 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: happening behind the communist curtain in China. Now we are 62 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: getting limited information, although they're trying to censor it as 63 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: much as possible, but they're not capable of doing all 64 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: of it? Are they? Thanks for having me, Sean? I think, yeah, 65 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: this is a very interesting phenomenon we are seeing in 66 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: the recent days because despite the strong control on the internet, 67 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: we are actually getting some I mean some information coming out, 68 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: especially protesters. Now they are sharing footage of their protesting 69 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: on Twitter, which is a software that spanned in China. 70 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: So I think there's some limited amount of information. The 71 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: big picture, however, is that the Communist party under seging 72 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: thing has increasingly put all the state media under very 73 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: high control. There are some media outlets that used to 74 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: be a little bit more open minded, a little bit 75 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: more liberal in terms of what they say, liberal minded content, 76 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: but now they're increasingly towing the party line. Unfortunately, it 77 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: is the same thing happening as it relates to Hong Kong. 78 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: Hongko absolutely so. Hong Kong used to have pro democracy 79 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: outlets media they no longer exist, and obviously the Apple 80 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: Daily is the most prominent example that's being crept down. 81 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: Hong Kong used to have about a third of legislators 82 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: who are who were pro democracy. Now there's none. So 83 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: I think the trend in Hong Kong it's pretty much 84 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: the same as what's happening in mainland China. Hong Kong 85 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: used to be relatively freer, used to live in Hong 86 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: Kong in the late two thousands, but I mean it's 87 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: increasingly getting more and more tightly, more tightly controlled by 88 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 1: the Communist Party after the handle of on the British government. 89 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: So you can't I've always said you can't win revolutions 90 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: with selling shots. But you see every major city inside 91 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: of China now with mass protesting going on. Do you 92 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: believe there's any hope or any opportunity of even liberalization 93 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: in some ways and less oppression of the Chinese people 94 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: by President Chi and his regime, or do you see 95 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: more of a crackdown more as the like. The conclusion 96 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: of this, I think it depends on how the event 97 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: is going to unfold in the next few months, because 98 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: early signs seems to suggest that Schidging things backing down 99 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: from zero COVID because of the people protesting, and some 100 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: even chanted down with chidging things, so that's sort of 101 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: the first since he came to power ten years ago. 102 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: But I think it also sends a signal concerning signal 103 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: to Chidding Thing himself, being that protests could actually get 104 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: the people what they wanted, and that might actually encourage 105 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: more protests later on, and that would be a reason 106 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: for more we should expect more crackdowns from the Communist Party. 107 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: So I think the dynamics between the dynamics between protesting 108 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: and cracking down would be fascinating and also very important 109 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: to monitor in the next few months. What is it 110 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 1: about China that the US does and understand. They've been 111 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: building up a massive military presence. They have been threatening 112 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: the United States directly. I talk about a story how 113 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: China is demanding the US dismantled their nuclear arsenal, while 114 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: we know that in China they've been growing the number 115 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: of nuclear warheads they have. What is your reaction to 116 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: those hostilities and also the threat of quote reunification with Taiwan, 117 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: which we know would be taking over Taiwan. That's very 118 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: importantly brought up an important issue you brought up, Sean, 119 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: because I think Taiwan will be in the forefront of 120 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: US China tensions at least is not conflict in the 121 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: next few years. Because one thing that American public seems 122 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: to not understand very well about China is where the 123 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: legitimacy of the Communist Party comes from. Because if you 124 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: think about democracy, people vote life, so that's where elected 125 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: leaders have the legitimacy. But in the Communist Party like China, 126 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: in a communist country like China, the party still needs 127 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: some legitimacy to govern, and for a long time that 128 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: has been about performance, so growing the economy or even 129 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: just containing some public health crises, and neither is working 130 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: very well in China at this moment, which suggests that, 131 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: you know, overtaking Taiwan might be the next step for 132 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: President She and I think it's disappointing to see the 133 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: United States not signaling a more stronger position with regard 134 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: to Taiwan in terms of whether we would defend Taiwan 135 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: shou China invade the island because ambiguity, which is a 136 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: long health policy for decades, I don't think it's working 137 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: anymore in terms of whether our policy towards Taiwan would 138 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: be stronger. So we had on Governor CHRISTI nom from 139 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 1: South Dakota, and she's put a band of First State 140 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: employees on dowtlauding TikTok because they believe it is a 141 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: spying mechanism of the communist Chinese government. Do you believe 142 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: that's true? It's absolutely true. There's a lot of evidence 143 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: actually in the open source domain, where so China is 144 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: known for leaving a lot of data on the Internet 145 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: on guarded and there's some analysis about these kind of 146 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: available data showing how China is survailing or collecting information 147 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: about foreigners or around the world, including in the US. 148 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: So I think it sounds kind of ironic that when 149 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 1: former person in Trump was trying to crack down on TikTok, 150 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: people frame that as a conspiracy. But I think it's true. 151 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: People now coming around to recognize the TikTok is a 152 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: security problem. Some people just did not want to realize 153 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: that or recognize that. When to what level do you 154 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:53,680 Speaker 1: believe China is spying on Americans? I think so there's 155 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: some data that shows that some smart devices in the 156 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: United States they are collecting information. Smart coffee machines, for example, 157 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: where you just say it works to the machine and 158 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: then it makes a doctor rolls coffee for you in 159 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: the morning, and sometimes machines like that record conversations to 160 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 1: add your own home and send that back to China. 161 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 1: And some of the companies or state affiliated agencies would 162 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: have those data so that they will analyze the foreign 163 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: population or the trends overseas. So there are some examples 164 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: like that, and that's why I think it's a good 165 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: idea for US government to band a lot of companies 166 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: on the entity list with the Commerce Department. I think 167 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: that's the right move because the Chinese tapne of collecting 168 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: information is also something overlooked because this is not something 169 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: we do you here in America, we tend to think 170 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: that the Chinese don't do that either, but actually they do. 171 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,719 Speaker 1: All right, we continue with doctor Waifang Zong. He is 172 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: a senior fellow at George Mason University. Let me ask 173 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: this last question. Why do you think them and as 174 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: Chinese are buying up through other entities all of this 175 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: land around America, farmland, ranch land. Often it's near our 176 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: military bases. Now they're looking to get what work with 177 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: a Canadian company to get minerals from the United States. 178 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: I know former Secretary of State Pompeo said, that's a 179 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 1: really dumb, bad idea. Why do you think we're number one? 180 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: Why do you think they're doing it? And why do 181 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 1: you think we're stupid enough to allow it? Well, the 182 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: seconds is easiest on because we have a free market, right, 183 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: So any one acting on this, well, why do we 184 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: have a free market for an enemy state, a hostile 185 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: regime that has you know, shown their hostility. They have 186 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: no problem with intellectual property theft from the US, They 187 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: have no problem with unfair trade practices with the US. 188 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 1: We know how they oppress the minority weager population in China, 189 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: So why would we allow them to buy land? Here? 190 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: Can I go by land in China? I doubt it? Well, 191 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: it's going to be very hard for you personally. Perhaps not, 192 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: But I think you pointed out show on a very 193 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: important issue here that so Chinese agents sometimes they are 194 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: private entities. It used to be in at least earlier 195 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 1: on in under the economic reform that state owned enterprises 196 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: are very different from private companies in China. Private companies 197 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: in China did not used to have to listen to 198 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: the Communist Party all the time. I think this is 199 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: totally different underseaging things. But it used to be private, 200 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,439 Speaker 1: private companies freer. So if you think about Farway, and 201 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: nobody has every has any evidence that shows far Away 202 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: is owned or directly controlled by the Chinese government, but 203 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: everybody knows that it's actually working for the Chinese government. 204 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 1: So the line between state and the private sector is 205 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: increasingly blurred. And that's a trend very different from even 206 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: what it used to be ten years ago. Oh, you 207 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: think we ought to demand that land back and say no, 208 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: you're not allowed to buy American farmland, American ranch land, 209 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: You're not allowed to buy any land in the US. 210 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be a good law for the United States 211 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: to adopt? But it would it would be hard because 212 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: if we say any investments originating from China would be banned, 213 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: that's effectively cutting off a lot of investments from China. Right, 214 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: And so where do you join us? So it's more 215 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: important that we have their money and ignore their human 216 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 1: rights abuses. Uh, And they are unfair trade practices in there. Uh, 217 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,599 Speaker 1: let's see intellectual property theft. It's more important that we 218 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: get their money, so we'll turn a blind eye to it. No, 219 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,719 Speaker 1: that's not that's not what I mentioned. But I think 220 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 1: the key here is the cost and into a benefit 221 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: the engaging with China. Now it's increasingly costly, as you 222 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: rightly pointed out, there's a fourth labor issue and other 223 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: human rights abuses. But also I think we actually don't 224 00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: have the habit of the the Institution to actually conduct 225 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: a good cost and benefit analysis in terms of engaging 226 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: with China. I think food the coupling which China is 227 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: too costly. The romantic engagement which China we used to 228 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: have is also too constantly. But we need to find 229 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: somewhere in between. And it's a very tough challenge for 230 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: policymakers to actually find out what degree of engagement which 231 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: China is the optimal one for America. Oh, that doesn't 232 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: sound optimal to me that they get to buy land 233 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: in this country and we don't get reciprocity in their country. 234 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: It doesn't sound fair to me that there's no consequences 235 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: for intellectual property theft. I have a very good friend 236 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: of mine that was a victim of this, and it 237 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: just cost him millions and millions of dollars. He happens 238 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: to be an incredible inventor, and he came up with 239 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: a way to spray the inside of engine blocks at 240 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: a very high temperature that could withstand the combustion engine. 241 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: And it's used by all the major manufacturers of automobiles. 242 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: And meanwhile, China just came in copy the technology, stole 243 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: it and they don't get I'm a penny for it. 244 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. Anyway, I appreciate you being with us. Thanks 245 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: for the update. Uh Waifang song, thank you so much. 246 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: I thank you for having me. Eight hundred and nine 247 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: one Sean on number.

So 253 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: my friend and colleague, Harris Faulkner has a number one 254 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: New York Times best selling You know you often think 255 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: about prayers. Here's my wish list. Can you please give 256 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: me everything that I want from my life? Because I 257 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: think that I know better than say the person that 258 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: created me or knew me before I was born, And 259 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: it's just kind of it just made me laugh in 260 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: a lot of different ways. You know, here we are 261 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: with the holiday season upon us, and it's a time 262 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: I think for most people. I know when I take 263 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: my long vacation, which I start at the end of 264 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: this week, it's my time to really try and reset myself, 265 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: recenter myself, and put in perspective the things that you 266 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: do have, not the things you always wish that you had, 267 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: and a certain gratefulness for all the gifts that we 268 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: all have in life. Anyway, Harris Faulkner joins us now. 269 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: Of course, she has her own show on the Fox 270 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: News channel as well as Outnumbered. How are you? I'm 271 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: doing well? And you put that so beautifully. I love 272 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: that I wrote down, I said, Sean resenters. This time 273 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: of the year, I think a lot of people are 274 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: into Sean New Year's resolutions and trying to figure out 275 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: what they're going to change at the beginning of the year, 276 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: but they very seldom include what we know truly can 277 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: change everything. And that's our relationship with the Lord and 278 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: the fact that you recognize that you need time away 279 00:16:53,960 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: from the daily responsibilities and expectations for you as a bribe, cast, 280 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: as a dad, as everything, and you need to take 281 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 1: time to recalibrate, because you know, really what works. That's 282 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: something that a lot of people don't think about. But 283 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: if we do lean in through our faith is time 284 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: of the year and it becomes more than going to 285 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: church so that we can be part of the festivities 286 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,239 Speaker 1: and all that we do give ourselves a chance to 287 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: tap into this river of powerful prayer all around us 288 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: and to participate in that ourselves, and to really have 289 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: the ability to see clearly that we can move mountains 290 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: in our own lives. I mean, the reason that I 291 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 1: titled the book Faith Don't Lose Mountains is because it's 292 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 1: an alert. It's an alarm. It's a Fox News alert 293 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 1: to me that tough times call for warriors, and sometimes 294 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: we can't wait for them to appear, and we, as 295 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: you so beautifully push on, we have to resent or 296 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: recalibrate and become the warriors. And in this instance, this 297 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: is our season to be spiritual war People don't want 298 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 1: people of faith to speak up. They want us to 299 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 1: be quiet, they want us to sit down. They want 300 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: us to doubt the miracles. I call that the devil, 301 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: and I don't answer that call with anything other than 302 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: proof of miracles. And that is the book that I've written, 303 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:22,719 Speaker 1: it's nineteen stories about people praying and the darkest hours, 304 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: lowest moments, and watching what God can do and their lives, 305 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: resentering us, reminding us, helping us to renew a spirit 306 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: that can do some of the same things in our lives. 307 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: So when I get to this time of year and 308 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: I try to drive myself down and get away from 309 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 1: the day to day hectic life that I live, you know, 310 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,640 Speaker 1: usually at some point there are two things that kick 311 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 1: in personally. One is a sense of embarrassment that I 312 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: don't take enough time to be around the ones I love. 313 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 1: I don't take enough time to reflect on my own 314 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 1: life and that of tales into the other one, which 315 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: is gratefulness, because when I look at my life, I 316 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: realize that I have so much to be grateful for. 317 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: And I think there's a tendency throughout our lives to 318 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: complain about the things we don't have and not appreciate 319 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: the things that you do have. Well, you were absolutely 320 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: right about that, and we're all guilty of doing what 321 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 1: you say, and that is leaning out with the urgency 322 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: of prayer. Because there's no current storm, we have to 323 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: have the discipline and the urgency in our lives to 324 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: pray with gratitude before the storm. We prayed during the 325 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: storm because we're doing what you described that my mother 326 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: always accused six year old little Haress and doing. Stop 327 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,679 Speaker 1: treating God like he's Santa Claus. Stop asking you know, 328 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: I see we grew up with the same parent. Um, yea, 329 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: I got the same Yeah, there's my list. And then 330 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 1: and then if you don't get everything, you won't you're 331 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: upset about the one thing you didn't get exactly exactly. 332 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: And you know, these days, I guess Santa us to 333 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: navigate um you know link that we send him, and 334 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: I guess we're sending the Lord links too. If you 335 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: could just click on this, they'll take you to Amazon 336 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: to what I really want. And we've gotten so malfunctional 337 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: in the way that we pray that we just stop praying. 338 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 1: And what I say is jump right back into that 339 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 1: malfunction and keep going and then push through because what 340 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: we don't want to do is stop connecting to God 341 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,719 Speaker 1: because you know what the storm's coming. I don't care 342 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: who you are. I mean, Sean, you are, you are 343 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 1: a friend, You're someone that I admire mightily in the industry. 344 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 1: But I do know you're human. You've had your challenges too, 345 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: of course everybody does. You have children who've gotten sick. 346 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: We've had children who maybe needed us to direct them, 347 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: or we've gotten sick ourselves, who's lost parents, whatever our situation, 348 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: whatever our season is in life. We're human. We're not 349 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: called to be perfect. So what happens is all those 350 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: moments in between. Well, I don't really need to pray 351 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: right now. I'm so busy. I'll go to church and 352 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: I'll pray when they call us to pray, but I 353 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: won't set aside a special time with the Lord to 354 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: express my gratitude and to praise him. And then the 355 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: storm hits and you're you're on your knees on your faith, 356 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: begging the Lord to hear your prayer. And then after 357 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 1: the storm, we get that part too, because we say 358 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: thank you and oh Lord, you'd bless us. And then 359 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: there is what I call the silent season between the storm. 360 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: And we have to be building up the power in 361 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: our lives such that we can thwart the little storms 362 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,640 Speaker 1: that come our way every day. Do we even realize 363 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: the small miracles God is working in our lives such 364 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: that when the gossip comes and the cruelty comes from others, 365 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: because you know, people can be cruel with the things 366 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: that they do, cutting us off in traffic. With all 367 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: of that, every time somebody cuts me off in traffic 368 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: and it ends up fine, A quick prayer, Lord, thank 369 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: you so much, thank you Lord, that I didn't run 370 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: into somebody that wanted to get out of their car 371 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,439 Speaker 1: and yell it because well, you're a way better person 372 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 1: than I am. Having grown up in New York. Other 373 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: words come flying out of my mouth a lot faster. 374 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 1: But just when you think about I had this experience 375 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: over the years with all the military people that I met, 376 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: for example, and people that had their legs blown off 377 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: and their arms blown off and their lives transformed in 378 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: ways that they never imagined, and they all did it 379 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: to sacrifice for other people. They put themselves in harm's 380 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: way for other people. And without exception, Harris, I walk 381 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: away embarrassed thinking that I even have problems in life, 382 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,479 Speaker 1: which gives you understanding. Now, he said something else, you know, 383 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: taking a little bit of time every day to stop, pray, reflect, 384 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: appreciate all that we do have. And I think that 385 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 1: you know, the more that I do that in my life, 386 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: the happier I am in my life. Well, and it's 387 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: okay to say, God, I have a job interview today. Lord, 388 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: I need for you to put the right words in 389 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: my mouth and to be present. I had to go 390 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 1: on this Guy Hannity Show. I don't really want to 391 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: do it, but I'm doing it. Oh. No, nobody ever 392 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: says that you know what someone does like today, I 393 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: prayed before we went on the air, and your team 394 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 1: kept checking and he's coming, He's coming, And I'm thinking, no, 395 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 1: you don't understand. This is my time to make sure 396 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: that when we reach Shan's audience with this message of hope, 397 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: it's six because that's what this is all about. If 398 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: we're going to make a change for people who desperately 399 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: need it. Right now, we're fighting like people are addicted 400 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: to fighting. We need to be addicted to something that 401 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 1: takes us innovatively closer to where we need to be, 402 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: Like we're the blessed nation that everybody wants to break 403 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: into such a good point that we need to act. 404 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you your listeners that 405 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: when they pick up faith still moves Mountain Twether for 406 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: themselves this Christmas season or is the greatest gift we 407 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: give each other as faith. There's a glossy and sert 408 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: of original prayers. They can get you started no matter 409 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: what season you are in life. It's just a few 410 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: of them, and then I put in the scriptural inspiration 411 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: for each prayer. There's one on lamenting. I lost my 412 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: father Christmas Day twenty twenty and I really had a 413 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: tough time understanding why God would put me in that position. 414 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: My divine assignment, Sean, is not to proplyesize I'm a storyteller. 415 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 1: I'm a witness, and so that's what I've done in 416 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: this book. When Danny met Doug is one of those 417 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: stories that reminded me what you said when our military 418 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 1: men and women come home and they've been injured mightily. 419 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: She was a young woman who couldn't walk. Doctors had 420 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: given up on her ability to ever get out of 421 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: a wheelchair and have a normal life. She had a 422 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: lot of health difficulties, and When Danny Met Doug is 423 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,360 Speaker 1: one of my favorite chapters in the book. It shows 424 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 1: that miracles unfold in God's timing, not ours, and the 425 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: whole chapter is something that she inspired me by Danny Lorian. 426 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: She's from Michigan. She and her husband she leaned in 427 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: on Athesians two eight r. Nine, for it is by 428 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: grace you have been saved through faith, and this is 429 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: not from yourselves. It is a gift of God, not 430 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: by work. So that no one may vote. She was 431 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: like that. They put her in her twenties, sean and 432 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: nursing home hospice. Tal You took care and said, look, 433 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 1: you know you're going to be here for a while, 434 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,719 Speaker 1: probably longer than a lot of the people around you. 435 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 1: But we just can't imagine a more supportive environment for 436 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: somebody who doesn't have a good ending. Will you flashed 437 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: forward not too much time. He was deep in prayer 438 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: all the time. She believed in the Lord. The Lord 439 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,199 Speaker 1: brought her the man of her dream named Doug. He 440 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: was a medical tech at one of the nursing homes 441 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: where she had lived. They met, data, got married, started 442 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: going to a church, and through prayer at that church. 443 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 1: This is recently, in the last couple of years. It's 444 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: a story that I had covered. She stood up one 445 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: day in church and walked, Yeah, but it's his timing. 446 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: Though other things had to be in place. It wasn't 447 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: going to be enough for the Lord just to PLoP 448 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: her into a situation where still has some medical issues. 449 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 1: She needed somebody around her who would understand that, who 450 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: would embrace all of her for what she is and 451 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: what she is not capable of, and then go forth 452 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: in a faith based way. And she walked, and now 453 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: they're walking through life together. There are so many miracles 454 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: around us all the time, and we need to tell 455 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: each other our faith testimony so that when the lamenting comes, 456 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: when you lose a parent or two and a four 457 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: year span like I did, you can work with the 458 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: Lord and say, look, I'm my heart is heavy. I 459 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: need for you to work with me to make this right. 460 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: Use me, and I have been I have been that tool, 461 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: and I certainly you know me. I'm not perfect, and 462 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: so this book is part of that. You're you're right 463 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 1: up there. I'm definitely on the lower side of the 464 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 1: spectrum in those case. But you know you mentioned, for example, 465 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 1: the aftermath of the devastating earthquake in Haiti. I don't 466 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: think we've ever discussed this, but I actually went to 467 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: Haiti not long after that, and I was with Samaritan's person. 468 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: We actually did a flyover of the entire country, and 469 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 1: I've never seen such devastation ever, And that would be 470 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 1: an example. Or if the aftermath after the shooting in Aurora, 471 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: Colorado and believers testifying to how God inspired hope even 472 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 1: when everything seems lost in a moment like this. You know, 473 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: I love when atheists call this program and I don't come. 474 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: I don't argue with them on a scriptural basis. I'll 475 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: ask them, so let me let me be clear here. 476 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 1: So you think that we had a big bang and 477 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 1: all of this, all of these molecules collided, and I 478 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: will ask them, where did all that energy come from? 479 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: Because you're arguing, as an atheist in particular, that something 480 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,400 Speaker 1: can come from nothing, which doesn't make sense to me. Well, 481 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: you know, if you've ever had a very sick child, 482 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 1: and there's a one of the book, the chapter is 483 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: called It Takes a Mom for child had spina bifitt 484 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 1: at age three. It was an excruciating experience and at 485 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: deadly one. If you've ever had a child who is ill, 486 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: and I have, and doctors say to you, you know, 487 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: we're not quite so sure what it's going to take 488 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 1: to get that child to be better. This mom was 489 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 1: told and what I write about, you'd have to come 490 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: up with something on your own. Does she pray to 491 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: the Good Lord? And she, she said, just a regular own. 492 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: Mom came up with a medical device that helps children 493 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: and people all over the world. And sometimes what happens 494 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: with people and why they believe in the spontaneity, But 495 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: they don't know what causes the spont made and they 496 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 1: can't imagine anything being great enough is exposure and that 497 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: they can see that it is beyond them because moments 498 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: will come in their lives too where they won't need 499 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: a miracle.
