He's got an encyclopedic knowledge of sports. 57 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,119 Speaker 2: I love it, but not as much as he does. 58 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 2: Him and my son and Steven A. 59 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: Smith. 60 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: You put them in a room, they're not coming out 61 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 2: for forty eight straight hours, and they're going to go 62 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 2: back and forth and just be, you know, one up 63 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 2: in each other the whole way.

By the way, it's not one hundreds, 99 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,679 Speaker 2: it's thousands. But you know, not that I'm keeping county, 100 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 2: not that I'm going I love your encyclopedia encyclopedic knowledge 101 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 2: of sports. I love your insight into politics. Where where 102 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 2: did this passion all come from? Because it's really dovetails 103 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 2: into the new book. By the way, we're putting in 104 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 2: up on Hannity dot com. Balls, how Trump Young Men's 105 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 2: Sports saved America? Amazon dot com, Hannity dot Com as 106 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 2: of today, in bookstores now all around the Where did 107 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 2: this passion come from? 108 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a really good question. And I've always been 109 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 3: a huge sports fan. And the thing that I love 110 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 3: about sports is when your team wins or your team 111 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 3: makes a basket, you don't think about the race, the gender, 112 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 3: or the ethnicity, or how someone voted around. 113 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: You in the stadium or the arena. 114 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 3: You're all united in a common tribe and you turn 115 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 3: around and you give high fives to everybody. And I 116 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 3: got an idea here for you, Sean, because I think 117 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 3: it's true. Nobody's beat it. The last trusted source that 118 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 3: everybody in America believes in is the scoreboard. And why 119 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 3: is that? Because we try to get it right. If 120 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 3: somebody steps on the line for a three pointer, we 121 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 3: go review it. Did they get their feet in or not? 122 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 3: For a touchdown, everybody starts at zero. The clock does 123 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 3: not change for anybody. It's the ultimate meritocracy. It's the 124 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 3: best man or woman wins. And when I saw Trump win, 125 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 3: and he did such a great job of adding sports, 126 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 3: you know the Leah Thomas. The book opens with Leah Thomas, 127 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 3: of six foot three man winning an NCAA women's championship 128 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 3: wearing a swimsuit. To me, it was the culmination of 129 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 3: woke identity politics taking over sports. And I've been covering 130 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 3: this because I used to just be a guy who 131 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 3: would talk about sports, and then it really started about 132 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 3: twenty fourteen and Shaun, when I went back and really 133 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 3: thought about it, it was Michael sam if you remember him. 134 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: He was an NFL player, but the. 135 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 3: Only reason people covered him was because he was gay, 136 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 3: and prior to that, you get a lot of attention, 137 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 3: but all of our coverage went to the talented athlete. 138 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 3: Not to say there might not be drama or extenuating 139 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 3: circumstances off the field, but it was the best quarterbacks 140 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 3: or the best hitters, or the best pitchers or whoever 141 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 3: it was in field of play that we would cover. 142 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 3: And that was when for me, they started trying to 143 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 3: take over sports. And I think it was all about 144 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 3: winning culture and recognizing that a lot of young men, 145 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 3: you find them in sports. It's harder to get people 146 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 3: to come to where you are, You have to go 147 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 3: to where they are. And I saw what they were 148 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 3: trying to do. They were trying to take over sports, 149 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 3: and it turned to me sports into another form of politics, 150 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 3: and I just couldn't shut up about it. And obviously 151 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 3: then we led into Colin Kaepernick and then the Trump 152 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 3: era and COVID and everything else, and they became inextricably intertwined, 153 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 3: which is a big part of this book. And obviously 154 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 3: the other thing is you've got a son, I've got 155 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 3: three boys. Manhood's under attack in a way that we've 156 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 3: never seen, and I think we have to make being 157 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 3: a man good again in the culture and that's a 158 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 3: huge part of this book too, getting men to recognize 159 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 3: that masculinity is not toxic at all, and that we 160 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 3: need more of it, not less of it. 161 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: I can't disagree with you in any way. 162 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 2: And by the way, the best part of Al Kick 163 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 2: I have come to really like and admire Riley game. 164 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: It's amazing. 165 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 2: She's amazing, and like Charlie Kirk and like Turning Point USA. 166 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 2: They go into these hostile environments and she's been through 167 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 2: a lot. They put her through a lot, and what happened. 168 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 2: I mean, she tied Lee Thomas. She tied her in 169 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: that race, and then they said, oh, We're just going 170 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 2: to give it to this person. 171 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: And I'm like, no, that's not how it works. 172 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 2: You just don't pick the one you like and make 173 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 2: the politically correct choice. I do believe that all of 174 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 2: this combined led to the backlash in twenty four and 175 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 2: the election of Trump. I also believe that they overreached 176 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 2: by so much. And you go into this in your 177 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 2: book and you explain how Democrats are alienating men and 178 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,319 Speaker 2: why Trump really won. 179 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: That is a big part of the equation. 180 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 3: It is It is the equation I think, and the 181 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 3: question that the book also grapples with is how do 182 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 3: we grow it going forward? 183 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: You know this book really idea came out, Sean. 184 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 3: I went to talk at the University of Chicago and 185 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 3: it was about gender in the twenty twenty four election, 186 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 3: and you should have seen it. I'm sure you've talked 187 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 3: at some of these places, but you have to go 188 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 3: sometimes to audiences where you're the bad guy. And I 189 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 3: said on stage, I said, there are no masculine Democrats. 190 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 3: And men were super impressed with Trump, especially after Butler Pennsylvania. 191 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 3: It was impossible not to think that guy is a 192 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 3: badass when he stood up like that and screamed fight, fight, fight, 193 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,719 Speaker 3: And I think he won the election on that day. 194 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 3: I think that moment is going to resonate for long 195 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 3: after the life of anybody listening right now. But I said, 196 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 3: who's the most masculine Democrat, Chuck Schumer? 197 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: Is it? Mayor Pete? 198 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 5: And the. 199 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 3: Moderator there cut me off, Sean, and she said, but 200 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 3: Trump's like a grandpa And I said, yeah, Grandpa took 201 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 3: a bullet to the year. But a lot of kids 202 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 3: reached out to me after that and they said she 203 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 3: saw that as an insult, and all these kids emailed 204 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 3: me after that went viral, Sean and they said, no, no, no, no, 205 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 3: I look up to my grandpa more than anyone in 206 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 3: the world. And that's what we need. We need strong 207 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 3: male figures that are role models. What she saw as 208 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 3: an insult, Oh, Trump's like a grandpa. All these young 209 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 3: men they look at Trump and they see him as 210 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 3: an aspirational avatar of masculinity. Not that he's perfect, but 211 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 3: a strong male figure who has taken care of his family, 212 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 3: and honestly, he's trying to take care of as much 213 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 3: as he can with the country. 214 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: And so it's funny. 215 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 3: When I finished that, by the way, you'll like this, 216 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 3: my wife said, how did it go? And I said, 217 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 3: the crowd at the end, it was like I had 218 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 3: just ripped the head off a kitten, Like they were 219 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 3: just sitting there and done silence. And I didn't know 220 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 3: how it was going to play, but it went viral 221 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 3: on the internet.

Balls, how Trump young men and 238 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 2: sports saved America. You know, one of the things after 239 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 2: the assassination of Charlie I went back and I watched 240 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 2: videos of him and Erica and then you can count 241 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 2: people like Riley Gains and all the young people that 242 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 2: are participants now in the you know, growing exponentially turning point. 243 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 2: And what they do is so remarkable because they enter 244 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 2: that hostile environment where you would think that kids maybe 245 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 2: learn about comparative religions or God, and they go in 246 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 2: there they would challenge conventional beliefs maybe shocking to kids 247 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 2: that never heard hookup culture may not be the choice 248 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 2: you want to make in your life. 249 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 3: Look, I think all you just did on is a 250 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 3: huge part of what we're talking about in the book, 251 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 3: because there's a sense for young men and young women 252 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 3: that things aren't working and how do we get back 253 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 3: to a society where men respect women and women respect men. 254 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 3: But men don't want to be effeminate men and women 255 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 3: don't want to be masculine women because what that does 256 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 3: is actually divide us. You can be equal and different, 257 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 3: and that's what makes unions between men and women work. 258 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 3: We can be equal, but we don't have to be 259 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 3: the same. And I think when you talk about Riley 260 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 3: Gaines and so many people out there that are going 261 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 3: and speaking on these campuses, and I try to do 262 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 3: it as much as I can too. Through the prism 263 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 3: often of sports, Sean is finding those students there. The 264 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 3: man of sphere is out there. They're going to find 265 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 3: someone to emulate, someone to follow. If you're wondering about 266 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 3: the world that your kids are in. You've got two kids, Sean, 267 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 3: I've got three seventeen, fifteen and eleven, all three of 268 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 3: minor boys. This book is about trying to see the 269 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 3: world through their eyes, project what the world can be 270 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 3: like if we deliver correctly as men and women, and 271 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 3: if we can build on the win that Trump had 272 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 3: in twenty four because as good as any president is, 273 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 3: they're only as good as the number of wins that 274 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 3: they can string together after their term, as well in 275 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 3: terms of other elections, and so I think people are 276 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 3: really going to like this book, Sean.

I think I'm more 341 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 6: conservative than people think. I just happen to be talking 342 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 6: about a government in extremes.

We Oh, 352 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 2: there's just eleven that they're all men and women that 353 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 2: created by you know, the the you know thing, the. 354 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 1: Thing, Joe God, the creator of everything.

Joe Pegs now 359 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 2: I wrote it. He sang it.

Thanks for checking in, 363 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 2: And we are on Long Island in New York and 364 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 2: we're doing talk radio today. 365 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:49,640 Speaker 1: What's going on? 366 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 5: That parody was fantastic. I believe somebody called in and 367 00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 5: said that it was being disgraceful to Frank Sinatra, which 368 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 5: it wasn't. His song was when New York was a 369 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 5: wonderful place to be, and the parody is showing what 370 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 5: happened to it, especially now that this mundombie got in. 371 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 5: That's the difference between the two. I don't know how 372 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 5: they voted for this communist. I hope it doesn't turn 373 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 5: out as bad as I think it's going to do. 374 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 5: But there's something's wrong with these people the way they voted. 375 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: Listen. 376 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 2: I sat on the air for the sake of my 377 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 2: friends that I left behind over two years ago. Now, 378 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,360 Speaker 2: I wanted the best for them. I didn't want this 379 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 2: for them. 380 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: Now. I can't tell you where we are right now. 381 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 2: The county that I'm born in was born in, was 382 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 2: Nashaull County Long Island, and it went hardcore, solidly read 383 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,719 Speaker 2: Bruce Blakeman as the county executive. 384 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: I like him a lot. 385 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 2: I saw him earlier today and he welcomed me back, 386 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 2: asked if I was coming back. I said, you did 387 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 2: a great job, but the states sucks. Your county's great, 388 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 2: but the state sucks. And he goes, well, we're going 389 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 2: to fix that too, and he's very optimistic. I do 390 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 2: admire the people that want to stay in the fight, 391 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 2: like I really came to like Jack Chittarelli. You know, 392 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 2: I didn't go up to New Jersey because I felt like, 393 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 2: you know, getting a pork roll. Even though Mikey Cheryl 394 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 2: didn't know what OM was, I thought he had a 395 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 2: real shot. We ignored it, you know, three years ago, 396 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 2: four years ago. And the sad thing is nearly a 397 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 2: quarter of a million people left migrated out of New 398 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 2: Jersey in a three year. 399 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: Period of time, and that you know, the voting pool. 400 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 2: I would I would argue the majority of those people 401 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 2: would have voted for Jack Chitdarelli and it would have 402 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 2: been a very different night. 403 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: But they've been chased away. 404 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 2: You know, these states are losing, that are losing this 405 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 2: massive population, this mass migration. They are pushing people away 406 00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 2: and and a lot of people. You know, it's a 407 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 2: hard to say vision for a lot of people. Wasn't 408 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 2: that hard for me? Because you know, I was a 409 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 2: radio nomad forever, and you know I lived in Rhode 410 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,360 Speaker 2: Island five years, California five years, Alabama two years, Georgia 411 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 2: four years, number two decades in New York and then 412 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 2: now I'm in the free state of Flora. I can 413 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 2: live in a box if you really want to know 414 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 2: the truth. Not everybody in my life can live in 415 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 2: a box. So I have to have a property to 416 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 2: live in. But putting it out a side, I mean, 417 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,120 Speaker 2: it's so much nicer, and the people are nicer, and 418 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 2: it's much safer, and the taxes are lower, and the 419 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 2: quality of life is outstanding. I like to just listen 420 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 2: to the ocean. I'm based sounds silly. I find peace 421 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 2: and God and serenity there. So anyway, my friend, I 422 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 2: appreciate you call. Thanks for your input on this. Jason 423 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 2: in Texas. God bless Texas. Jason, how are you? Thanks 424 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 2: for checking in? 425 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 7: Doing great so I'm glad to take the call. In 426 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 7: response to your colleague yesterday the profess to atheist, and 427 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 7: we always need to get the question of why good, 428 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 7: why bad things happen to good people. It comes from 429 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 7: even people that have good faith. They asked that question, 430 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 7: and my family members have asked that, and the best 431 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:16,679 Speaker 7: answer I. 432 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 8: Could give you is that us as humans, as mortals, 433 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 8: we need that perception. If every day was a sunny 434 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 8: day and people didn't get cancer, you know, and died 435 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 8: at an early age, and you know, plane from offness guy, 436 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 8: all the bad things that happened in this world, we 437 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 8: would have no perception or appreciation of the sun, the 438 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,919 Speaker 8: sunshine days, you know, the happiness, the joy and the 439 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 8: love that people feel. You wouldn't be able to appreciate 440 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 8: that without the context. And that's the hardest part to 441 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 8: get across. 442 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 2: I think, you know, if if, if what I said yesterday, 443 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 2: when God, when Moses saw the burning bush and was 444 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 2: speaking to God, and who should I say? 445 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 1: Sent me? 446 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 2: And he said, I am, there's a lot I interpret 447 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 2: from that. This is my interpretation. It's other biblical scholars interpretation, 448 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 2: and I've read a lot. 449 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 1: Of them and C. S. 450 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 2: Lewis is one of them, and great, you know, let's 451 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 2: call apologetics and I've read David Limbaugh is one of 452 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 2: the best and he's one of my best friends, and 453 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 2: we've talked at length about a lot of these issues. 454 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: And that's Russia's brother. 455 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 2: And he you know, you just that that's predicated un 456 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 2: a belief always was, is present, and always will be. 457 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 2: And it's hard for us to wrap our minds around it. 458 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 2: If God wanted us to know that, he would have 459 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 2: told us. But you cannot convince me. You know, the 460 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 2: guy started talking about well quantum particles. I'm like, well, 461 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 2: where did the quantum particles come from? If not from 462 00:23:55,160 --> 00:24:02,239 Speaker 2: a God, all powerful, almighty creator that envision this. Now, 463 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 2: I don't have the answer why good things happen about people. 464 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: The Bible does tell us. 465 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 2: Though, that we will all go through challenges in our 466 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 2: life and to prepare for them, and that God puts 467 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 2: us in seasons in our life, some that are much 468 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 2: harder than others. Why did Donald Trump I have to 469 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 2: go through, you know, four years of absolute hell and 470 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,239 Speaker 2: his family and then get to the side of it, 471 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 2: and then, you know, I think he's you know, the 472 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 2: greatest president we've had by far in decades and decades 473 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 2: and decades. 474 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: In this country. 475 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 2: But I do believe in the promise that you know, 476 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 2: the Bible says the eye had not seen, nor had 477 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 2: the ear heard, nor has it entered into the hearts 478 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 2: of man. What God has stored in stored for those 479 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 2: that love the truth. And in my Father's house are 480 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 2: many mansions. And I go, let not your heart be troubled. 481 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 2: I go to prepare a place for you, so that 482 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 2: where I am, you shall also be. I believe that 483 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 2: with my heart. Now, I'm never going to talk an 484 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 2: atheist into it. But he seems to want to judge God, 485 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 2: but yeah, can't. He but believes that something can come 486 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 2: from nothing, because to be an atheist you have to 487 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 2: that's what you have to believe. 488 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 7: Well, and that's where the perception comes in. 489 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 8: They have to wrap their mind around the fact that 490 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 8: without certain things we will not be able to discern 491 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 8: the opposite. The counterpart to that, without some sort of sadness, 492 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 8: you can never experience true joy. You know, if every 493 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 8: day was sunny, you wouldn't have you would never appreciate 494 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 8: the sunshine without a rainy day, there is no upside. 495 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: Let's put it this way. 496 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 2: Everyone in their life has an opportunity where they're afraid. 497 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 2: You know, you get on the high dive for the 498 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 2: first time as a kid and you look down. Most kids, 499 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 2: I think the natural inclination would be to be scared. 500 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:55,719 Speaker 2: And you cannot be courageous unless you're confronted with fear 501 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 2: and a moment that you have to you have to 502 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 2: trans send the fear and do it anyway. And you 503 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 2: know that that does just describe a lot of things 504 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 2: in life. I could tell you that if I'd be 505 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 2: lying to you, if I didn't tell you. The first 506 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 2: time I did a radio show, I was sweating and 507 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,719 Speaker 2: probably having a mini panic attack. But you know, then 508 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 2: after I finished, I wanted to do it again and 509 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 2: again and again. The first time I spoke in front 510 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 2: of an audience, same thing. Number one fear most people 511 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 2: have is public speaking. I've given zero thought except writing 512 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 2: my monologue for tonight's Box News Patriot Awards. 513 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: I'm like excited, I want to do it. 514 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 2: It's fun, so but it you know that that accumulates 515 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 2: over time. That's called confidence. But I want and that 516 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 2: I just want people, especially young people listening to the show, 517 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,479 Speaker 2: don't be don't let fear stop you, intimidate you prevent 518 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 2: you from living life to the fullest. You can feel 519 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 2: that fear feeling it isn't a bad thing, but don't 520 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 2: let it stop you, paralyze you, or impede you from 521 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 2: moving forward. At that point when you dive off that board, 522 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 2: jump off that board, you will be that much more 523 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 2: courageous for the next challenge in life. And you know 524 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 2: there are seasons in the Bible that they describe where 525 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 2: God will pull back from us and so that we 526 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 2: eventually cry out to Him to come back. 527 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 1: Please. 528 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 2: I can't do this feeling empty like this, and I've 529 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 2: experienced that where mind, body, and spirit. I believe all 530 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 2: of it, and I don't really care. You know the 531 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 2: biggest misperception, And tell me if you agree with this. 532 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 2: Everyone has this added to all Christians. They're holier than now. Ah, 533 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 2: these self righteous Ah. I'm sick and tired of them 534 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 2: forcing their values down our throat and proselytize. 535 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: I'm not. 536 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 2: I don't proselytize. Believe whatever you want. We live in 537 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 2: a free country. We believe in freedom of religion. But 538 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 2: I can tell you this, to me, the first step 539 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,479 Speaker 2: to becoming a Christian is acknowledging that you can't do 540 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 2: it on your own and that you failed and that 541 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 2: you want help and that you want to be better. 542 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 2: Doesn't mean you're instantaneously perfect, just the opposite. It's a process. 543 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: Do you agree with that? 544 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 8: I do wholeheartedly so, and I'll experiencing those things same 545 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 8: things myself. 546 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 2: I think it's part of the you know, human experience. 547 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 2: I think it's universal. We all experience that. That's part 548 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 2: of our humanity. You know, you got to nurture your body. 549 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 2: You know you've got to stimulate your mind. And you also, 550 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 2: you know that quiet time I was talking about earlier. 551 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 2: You know, I like to get quiet. I like to 552 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 2: just turn off the TV and put down my phone, 553 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 2: which I don't do very often. And I like to 554 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 2: see the majesty of God's creation and really look at it. 555 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 2: In if I'm out of beach, I'll look at the beach. 556 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 2: If if I see a beautiful full moon, I'll try 557 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 2: to pause and stop and reflect on it. If I 558 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 2: see a clear night and I can see Mars and Venus, 559 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 2: believe it or not, you can, and I have a 560 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 2: great telescope, you know it's majestic. Then to understand their 561 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 2: universes within universes within universes within universes, and we keep 562 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 2: discovering even more. 563 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: To me, that's so deep and profound. 564 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 2: I'm never going to convince an atheist, but for them, 565 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 2: if there's no God, you have to believe something comes 566 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 2: from nothing or else, and I don't believe with the 567 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 2: perfection of creation that that's even possible. Anyway, appreciate the call, 568 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 2: my friend. 569 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:33,239 Speaker 1: Thank you. 570 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 8: The final hour roundup is next. 571 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 3: You do not want to miss it, and stay tuned 572 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 3: for the final hour free for All on the Sean 573 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 3: Hannity Show.
