TD 11: Kevin Sorbo – Faith, Family, and TRUTH in Hollywood

1
00:00:00,360 –> 00:00:04,094
Well, you just officially got us banned from YouTube for this video. We’re going to

2
00:00:04,102 –> 00:00:07,878
get knocked down on that one, so that’s cool. Yeah. And we’re going to

3
00:00:07,894 –> 00:00:11,550
go into more controversial topics coming up

4
00:00:11,670 –> 00:00:15,454
that are sure to get this thing knocked off of every platform. So

5
00:00:15,502 –> 00:00:19,102
thank you. I appreciate that. You’re welcome. That’s my job, is to get truth

6
00:00:19,166 –> 00:00:22,998
banned completely. It’s not that they don’t believe in God, they just believe they are

7
00:00:23,014 –> 00:00:26,022
in God. And that’s why they wanted to stop you from going to church because

8
00:00:26,046 –> 00:00:29,586
that was an essential. We got to stop letting fear be the control for us.

9
00:00:29,698 –> 00:00:31,914
I keep telling I want to wake up the lions. The sheep are going to

10
00:00:31,922 –> 00:00:35,642
be the sheep. The biggest weapon against them and against what

11
00:00:35,666 –> 00:00:38,722
they do themselves is apathy. I think apathy is one of the biggest killers in

12
00:00:38,746 –> 00:00:42,242
America, let alone the world. With a raging pet allergy and an

13
00:00:42,266 –> 00:00:46,002
ignored case of lactose intolerance. Broadcasting from

Dad podcast Well, Kevin, I think we might be making history

33
00:01:53,480 –> 00:01:57,280
today. I have a feeling we’re the best looking on screen duo since

34
00:01:57,320 –> 00:02:00,952
maybe like Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon. So I’m

35
00:02:01,016 –> 00:02:04,696
really happy to have you on the screen today. It’s always nice when

36
00:02:04,728 –> 00:02:08,472
somebody can come on and match my stunning good looks. There you

37
00:02:08,496 –> 00:02:12,296
go. There you go. I appreciate it. Former male model, right? Is this

38
00:02:12,328 –> 00:02:16,072
true? I did that for a while. I did. That was like a

39
00:02:16,096 –> 00:02:19,260
total kind of fluky thing for me. I mean, I was,

40
00:02:19,750 –> 00:02:23,454
I was in my last year university and met a young

41
00:02:23,502 –> 00:02:26,838
lady that was three years younger than me. She was 19, and she was a

42
00:02:26,854 –> 00:02:30,290
big time model. And I started doing some.

43
00:02:30,990 –> 00:02:34,774
Doing a lot of commercial work during the college years in Minneapolis. A

44
00:02:34,782 –> 00:02:38,230
lot of people realized Minneapolis is headquarters, too, Best Buy,

45
00:02:38,270 –> 00:02:42,038
Target, 3M, Honeywell, Pillsbury, General Mills, all

46
00:02:42,094 –> 00:02:45,942
these big, TCBY Yogurt Company, so I did a lot

47
00:02:45,966 –> 00:02:49,446
of commercial work that got me that all important Screen Actors Guild card, that SAG

48
00:02:49,478 –> 00:02:53,054
union card. But she said, hey, just come to

49
00:02:53,102 –> 00:02:56,530
Italy with me for a little while. And before you moved to LA and

50
00:02:57,230 –> 00:03:00,050
three months turned into three and a half years. Nice.

51
00:03:00,630 –> 00:03:04,350
Awesome. Well, I think you hold the record. You’re the first

52
00:03:04,430 –> 00:03:07,966
former male model on my show. All right, cool. Welcome. This is

53
00:03:07,998 –> 00:03:11,446
awesome. I never felt good with that title. I’d rather be an

54
00:03:11,478 –> 00:03:14,686
actor. Yeah, well, we’ll get to the acting and the directing and

55
00:03:14,718 –> 00:03:18,448
producing and authoring as well. Um, so, yeah, you’ve

56
00:03:18,464 –> 00:03:22,112
got a lot of your, uh, a lot on your resume. Um,

57
00:03:22,256 –> 00:03:25,320
I’d love to tell a quick story, and I’m not sure if you remember this,

58
00:03:25,360 –> 00:03:28,512
Kevin. We met in Clearwater, Florida in

59
00:03:28,536 –> 00:03:32,140
2018 under really neat circumstances.

60
00:03:32,440 –> 00:03:35,744
Uh, we were filming for schoolhouse rock, to the homeschool

61
00:03:35,792 –> 00:03:39,392
revolution, and you, yeah, you were filming

62
00:03:39,456 –> 00:03:42,880
for Bernie the Dolphin, the family favorite. And

63
00:03:42,920 –> 00:03:46,604
so, by God’s great work, we,

64
00:03:46,692 –> 00:03:50,348
uh, we had reached out to your wife about the film, and she said, I

65
00:03:50,364 –> 00:03:53,980
was wondering when somebody was going to call me about this. And

66
00:03:54,100 –> 00:03:57,732
we were in Savannah, Georgia, and we would have driven to California to film with

67
00:03:57,756 –> 00:04:01,596
Sam. And she goes, well, we’re in Clearwater, Florida

68
00:04:01,628 –> 00:04:05,340
this week, which was like a six hour drive for us, right? So we

69
00:04:05,380 –> 00:04:09,020
drove down. She was speaking at a conference, like in Minnesota

70
00:04:09,060 –> 00:04:12,636
that day. And, uh, we got to your house, met the

71
00:04:12,668 –> 00:04:16,270
kids, they let us in. We set up lights and everything, and

72
00:04:16,310 –> 00:04:19,774
Sam flew in and said, okay, I’m gonna be there. I’m at the. I’m at

73
00:04:19,782 –> 00:04:23,110
the airport. I’ll be there in a few minutes. She walks

74
00:04:23,150 –> 00:04:26,446
in in her travel gear after speaking that

75
00:04:26,478 –> 00:04:29,878
morning and is ready in

76
00:04:29,934 –> 00:04:33,782
15 minutes and is just camera ready. It was incredible.

77
00:04:33,926 –> 00:04:37,622
So. And you had that. I remember that now. Yeah, we shot.

78
00:04:37,726 –> 00:04:40,766
I saw Bernie the Dolphin one and Bernie the Dolphin, too. And I remember here

79
00:04:40,798 –> 00:04:44,582
I was in Clearwater. Cause that 2018 was our last

80
00:04:44,606 –> 00:04:48,406
year living in LA. We left in 2019. We’ve been living in Florida

81
00:04:48,438 –> 00:04:51,790
the last five years, and it was 28 degrees.

82
00:04:52,798 –> 00:04:56,558
I said, this is Florida. It

83
00:04:56,574 –> 00:04:59,638
was just fluky, but it was just. It was horrible on that beach. It was.

84
00:04:59,654 –> 00:05:03,006
The wind was howling, and we’re out doing these scenes like

85
00:05:03,038 –> 00:05:06,862
it’s supposed to be summertime. The day you

86
00:05:06,886 –> 00:05:10,478
were there that we met, you were doing a night shoot, and I imagine it

87
00:05:10,494 –> 00:05:14,132
would have been miserable that night. So we had a nice night. We went out

88
00:05:14,156 –> 00:05:17,988
to dinner with your family and. And had a great steak, so that’s

89
00:05:18,004 –> 00:05:21,804
great. Sorry you had to be filming in. The cold, but we did about

90
00:05:21,852 –> 00:05:24,652
five night days. I remember that. The one week we had all night shoots, which

91
00:05:24,676 –> 00:05:28,516
I’m not. I’m not a fan of. I don’t think anybody. No, they’re awful.

92
00:05:28,708 –> 00:05:32,396
So I wanted to talk to you, actually, about that move, because at

93
00:05:32,428 –> 00:05:36,076
that time, you were in California. Yep. And then shortly after Covid

94
00:05:36,148 –> 00:05:39,784
hit, and things got real weird in California. Oh, we left before COVID

95
00:05:39,912 –> 00:05:43,440
Oh, you did? Okay. We moved January of 2019. Oh,

96
00:05:43,480 –> 00:05:46,816
okay. So, what spurred that move? What was the

97
00:05:46,848 –> 00:05:50,608
motivation? Um, we. You know, we both have family in

98
00:05:50,624 –> 00:05:54,072
Florida. I mean, I. It’s weird now that I’m here. Both my brothers that were

99
00:05:54,096 –> 00:05:57,648
living here have both moved away. One. One went to California.

100
00:05:57,704 –> 00:06:00,460
Why? I don’t know. The other one went up to

101
00:06:01,760 –> 00:06:05,404
North Carolina. But, uh, we’ve been

102
00:06:05,452 –> 00:06:09,204
coming out for years. My wife’s sister lives there in Davis island in Tampa, and

103
00:06:09,332 –> 00:06:13,140
she’s been here 40 years, probably. And we’ve always liked it out here.

104
00:06:13,180 –> 00:06:15,564
And I just got to a point. I got tired of California, got tired of

105
00:06:15,572 –> 00:06:19,044
what they’ve done to the state. I. I get number one. I got tired of

106
00:06:19,052 –> 00:06:22,756
the taxes, tired of the traffic. The traffic just sucks. And

107
00:06:22,788 –> 00:06:26,404
then, um, the, uh. The politics of that state. I mean,

108
00:06:26,452 –> 00:06:30,156
7 million people. Actually, it’s 8 million people now, moved out of the state.

109
00:06:30,188 –> 00:06:33,476
In the last ten years, 8 million people have left. We’re talking about people like

110
00:06:33,508 –> 00:06:37,080
me that are taxpayers, right? People that actually work for a living.

111
00:06:38,180 –> 00:06:41,548
The population has probably stayed the same there with all the illegal aliens that they

112
00:06:41,564 –> 00:06:45,028
allowed in there and giving them free cell phones, free tennis shoes, and

113
00:06:45,044 –> 00:06:48,508
free health care and not letting families afford do

114
00:06:48,564 –> 00:06:52,260
anything but work their butts off for nothing. I mean, that’s just. We’re so

115
00:06:52,300 –> 00:06:55,444
screwed up. But I got to a point. I missed my home there. We lived

116
00:06:55,452 –> 00:06:59,188
in Thousand Oaks area, which is about an hour half north of LA and

117
00:06:59,204 –> 00:07:02,918
hour and a half south of Santa Barbara. And I loved it there.

118
00:07:02,974 –> 00:07:06,422
Still missed my house, missed my golf course there. But when I got on the

119
00:07:06,446 –> 00:07:09,130
101, I would just go into

120
00:07:09,950 –> 00:07:13,382
crazy mode. I just. To sit in that traffic

121
00:07:13,566 –> 00:07:16,662
and take you an hour and a half to go 20 miles. I just said,

122
00:07:16,686 –> 00:07:20,326
I’m so done with this. I’m just so done with it. And every movie I

123
00:07:20,358 –> 00:07:23,798
shoot, I’ve shot over 80 movies. I’m shot probably 90% of

124
00:07:23,814 –> 00:07:27,342
them in Texas or further east. Nothing shoots in

125
00:07:27,366 –> 00:07:30,916
California. I said, why are we doing this? You know what we keep talking about

126
00:07:30,948 –> 00:07:34,548
California. I mean, Florida. So we finally made the move, and it’s been great.

127
00:07:34,684 –> 00:07:38,420
We love it here. Well, good, man. I’m glad you guys are settled.

128
00:07:38,460 –> 00:07:42,164
That’s. I know that move is hard. Especially you had kids at the time

129
00:07:42,212 –> 00:07:45,972
who were kind of at a critical time. They were so cool about it. You

130
00:07:45,996 –> 00:07:49,716
know, we’re homeschoolers. We’re homeschool advocates. Sam travels the country, speaking on the

131
00:07:49,748 –> 00:07:53,588
subject. Before I forget, I got thrown. Sorbo studios.com.

132
00:07:53,644 –> 00:07:57,408
please go to sorbostudios.com. sign up. We’ll keep you up to date. We

133
00:07:57,424 –> 00:08:00,024
got. I mean, we got our books on there. We got our dvd’s on. We

134
00:08:00,032 –> 00:08:03,096
got scripts. We got so many different things there. But we also want people just

135
00:08:03,128 –> 00:08:06,592
to sign up, um, just so they can keep up with what we’re doing. I’ve

136
00:08:06,616 –> 00:08:10,232
got four movies in post production right now and three documentaries, so. Wow.

137
00:08:10,296 –> 00:08:14,024
I’m staying busy, which is good. Yeah, you mentioned staying busy, and you said you

138
00:08:14,032 –> 00:08:17,840
had 80 movie credits of acting on your IMDb.

139
00:08:17,960 –> 00:08:21,704
Yeah, I was there last night. And you’re nearing 200

140
00:08:21,752 –> 00:08:25,572
credits between acting, producing, directing, and things like

141
00:08:25,596 –> 00:08:29,100
that. And what strikes me is, Kevin, you’re always

142
00:08:29,220 –> 00:08:32,900
working, and so I wanted to talk about work with you a little

143
00:08:32,940 –> 00:08:36,516
bit, because you’re a guy who probably doesn’t have to work as hard as you

144
00:08:36,548 –> 00:08:40,332
do. But it’s very clear you’re. You’re driven and you’re purposeful in

145
00:08:40,356 –> 00:08:44,044
that. So what’s your philosophy on work, and how do you kind of balance

146
00:08:44,092 –> 00:08:47,852
that with family? Well, I mean, I still. I love the business.

147
00:08:47,956 –> 00:08:50,772
I mean, I still am passionate about it now as I was when I was

148
00:08:50,796 –> 00:08:54,570
20 years old. So I love being on the set. I love the creativity

149
00:08:54,610 –> 00:08:58,402
of it all. I mean, Hollywood booted me out, you know, a good 1011

150
00:08:58,466 –> 00:09:01,202
years ago because they don’t, they don’t like the fact I’m a Christian and a

151
00:09:01,226 –> 00:09:05,010
conservative because that’s apparently, that makes me a double leper

152
00:09:05,050 –> 00:09:08,810
in Hollywood. And, you know, you gotta laugh at their hypocrisy.

153
00:09:08,850 –> 00:09:11,802
Cause they scream for tolerance and freedom of speech, but it’s all a one way

154
00:09:11,826 –> 00:09:15,378
street with these guys. They’re, you know, Hollywood is as bad as Washington, DC. They’re

155
00:09:15,394 –> 00:09:18,778
all just there’s a lot of evil there. There’s a lot of hate, a lot

156
00:09:18,794 –> 00:09:22,584
of anger and divisiveness. What a horrible way to go through life. But I,

157
00:09:22,632 –> 00:09:26,352
you know, we formed Sorbo studios, and we’re doing movies that have. That Hollywood

158
00:09:26,376 –> 00:09:29,848
used to do, movies that have hope and love and laughter and. And

159
00:09:29,904 –> 00:09:33,408
redemption, you know, and wonderful movies that have a positive

160
00:09:33,464 –> 00:09:36,672
message instead of a negative one. And so we’re gonna keep on doing that. I

161
00:09:36,696 –> 00:09:40,460
love staying busy. I don’t know. It was just

162
00:09:40,880 –> 00:09:44,568
2010, I think, was a big turnaround year for me in terms of the

163
00:09:44,584 –> 00:09:48,132
movies I wanted to keep doing. I did a movie called what if? And in

164
00:09:48,156 –> 00:09:51,828
my 87 plus movies, what if in my top three.

165
00:09:51,924 –> 00:09:55,324
And a lot of people know about it, which is unfortunate, because that’s the independent

166
00:09:55,372 –> 00:09:58,556
world. How do you get these movies out there right without a big advertising

167
00:09:58,628 –> 00:10:01,920
budget? Well, what if was written by

168
00:10:02,300 –> 00:10:06,140
the same guys that did my movie God’s not dead, which was a really huge

169
00:10:06,180 –> 00:10:09,420
hit in my book. What if is a better

170
00:10:09,460 –> 00:10:12,240
movie. So I just kept

171
00:10:13,060 –> 00:10:16,412
Dallas Jenkins directed it. His father, Jerry Jenkins,

172
00:10:16,556 –> 00:10:20,288
funded it. Like I said, the same writers that

173
00:10:20,304 –> 00:10:23,960
did gossip dead did what if. I think their most recent one was

174
00:10:24,040 –> 00:10:27,020
nefarious, and they did unplanned before that. But

175
00:10:29,360 –> 00:10:33,016
I get a call. What’s interesting, full circle thing with Dallas

176
00:10:33,168 –> 00:10:36,120
is that he directs me in that movie, is my first really sort of faith

177
00:10:36,160 –> 00:10:38,984
based movie. And I said, I want to do more movies like this. I have

178
00:10:38,992 –> 00:10:42,720
to be faith based. But I want family friendly movies that have a positive message

179
00:10:42,760 –> 00:10:46,602
and say, you know, the old Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart movies, things like that, that

180
00:10:46,626 –> 00:10:49,310
had good messages in them and good family movies.

181
00:10:50,570 –> 00:10:54,194
But I get a call from Jerry Jenkins because I directed the most

182
00:10:54,242 –> 00:10:57,642
recent left behind based off his book. And Jerry said, this is

183
00:10:57,706 –> 00:11:01,482
easily the best rendition of my book ever

184
00:11:01,506 –> 00:11:05,338
done on a movie. I could take that as a better compliment from anybody.

185
00:11:05,514 –> 00:11:08,910
I knew Tim Lahey, his writing partner, but he passed years ago.

186
00:11:09,630 –> 00:11:11,598
It was good to be part of this. It was a lot of fun to

187
00:11:11,614 –> 00:11:14,890
be part of such a great movie. Nice. Yeah, I got to see

188
00:11:15,230 –> 00:11:18,918
Miracle in East Texas before it came out, and, man, I

189
00:11:18,934 –> 00:11:22,238
really enjoyed that. It was nice to be able to sit down with my family

190
00:11:22,294 –> 00:11:26,062
in the living room and watch a film together. So thank you. Well,

191
00:11:26,086 –> 00:11:29,678
see, that’s another thing. Great movie, great script. I was

192
00:11:29,774 –> 00:11:33,398
blessed to direct that one as well. Sam’s in it. She does great. There’s a

193
00:11:33,414 –> 00:11:36,800
great courtroom scene where she steals a movie in the. And

194
00:11:37,220 –> 00:11:40,932
it was, you know, here’s this movie as a true story set in 1930, written

195
00:11:40,956 –> 00:11:44,484
by Oscar nominated writer Dan Gordon. Dan Gordon wrote the Hurricane.

196
00:11:44,532 –> 00:11:47,756
Denzel Washington Whiter, Kevin Costner, great writer.

197
00:11:47,908 –> 00:11:51,524
And we don’t have the big money to get promotions,

198
00:11:51,652 –> 00:11:54,588
you know, and to get it out to, you know, we can’t do, it was

199
00:11:54,604 –> 00:11:58,260
a $2 million movie. We don’t, you can’t have $100

200
00:11:58,300 –> 00:12:01,788
million advertising budget like they do for Avatar and

201
00:12:01,804 –> 00:12:05,598
Avengers and Spider man movie. So we got to rely on

202
00:12:05,614 –> 00:12:09,406
word of mouth, and it’s frustrating that that movie is such a good movie,

203
00:12:09,478 –> 00:12:13,302
and we’re, you know, hopefully people watch this now. We’ll go check

204
00:12:13,326 –> 00:12:16,582
it out. I think it’s streaming somewhere. They can get a copy from us at

205
00:12:16,606 –> 00:12:20,430
Sorbo Studios. It’s a wonderful pg rated family movie.

206
00:12:20,470 –> 00:12:24,254
True story. Yeah. Yeah. It strikes me you

207
00:12:24,342 –> 00:12:28,166
mentioned a little bit kind of being blacklisted in Hollywood, and

208
00:12:28,198 –> 00:12:32,018
yet you’ve still been able to work and do. I

209
00:12:32,034 –> 00:12:35,866
got blacklisted for being a patriot, but go ahead. Yeah. A super

210
00:12:35,938 –> 00:12:39,706
spreader of truth as my t shirt reads. Oh, they hate that. They hate the

211
00:12:39,738 –> 00:12:43,506
truth bothers them. Yeah. And yet, you know, you’re

212
00:12:43,538 –> 00:12:46,938
still able to work. You’re still able to say, stay busy, feed your family and

213
00:12:46,954 –> 00:12:50,266
all that, and you can still do stuff you’re proud of, and I think it’s,

214
00:12:50,378 –> 00:12:54,114
it’s important. I worked in a similar place. I was not acting, but I

215
00:12:54,122 –> 00:12:57,736
was working in the industry. And ever since

216
00:12:57,808 –> 00:13:01,600
leaving, it’s. It’s amazing to see the freedom you receive and

217
00:13:01,640 –> 00:13:05,424
still the ability to work and do stuff that you really care about. I

218
00:13:05,432 –> 00:13:09,176
want to ask you about something real quick. As men, we

219
00:13:09,208 –> 00:13:13,056
understand that so much of our identity is wrapped up in what

220
00:13:13,088 –> 00:13:16,736
we do. Right, and what we produce. Like, if we’re not doing stuff we’re

221
00:13:16,768 –> 00:13:20,200
proud of, it really does weigh on us. What would you say your

222
00:13:20,240 –> 00:13:24,080
identity is, Kevin? My identity? Yeah.

223
00:13:24,540 –> 00:13:28,372
Wow. That’s an interesting question. Well, hopefully, it’s from the

224
00:13:28,396 –> 00:13:32,172
movies I’ve been doing. I mean, I get stopped, you know, I get

225
00:13:32,196 –> 00:13:35,804
recognized every day. I mean, Hercules was a massive it. We’re in 176

226
00:13:35,852 –> 00:13:39,588
countries. Andromeda ran for 150 episodes and

227
00:13:39,604 –> 00:13:43,196
160, I mean, 150 countries, and it was 110 episodes of that

228
00:13:43,228 –> 00:13:47,036
one. I get stopped mostly because of the faith wound. It’s

229
00:13:47,068 –> 00:13:50,870
God’s not dead. It’s what if it’s soul surfer? And they said,

230
00:13:50,910 –> 00:13:54,330
please keep making those movies. I said, well, please keep spreading the word because

231
00:13:54,870 –> 00:13:58,718
you are our advertiser. So I’m hoping it’s

232
00:13:58,774 –> 00:14:02,182
those kind of movies, and I’m proud of it. I mean, I’m

233
00:14:02,206 –> 00:14:05,582
not making, look, trust me, I made a lot more money when I did Hercules

234
00:14:05,606 –> 00:14:09,142
and Andromeda tv series. I mean, those make big money at all shows.

235
00:14:09,286 –> 00:14:13,094
The movies I’m doing now, I take, I’m still in the SAG unit. I’m in

236
00:14:13,102 –> 00:14:16,750
the director’s guild. So I take the minimum, I take the minimum

237
00:14:16,790 –> 00:14:20,418
amount for the budget of the movies that we do. And to me, it’s,

238
00:14:20,474 –> 00:14:24,058
it’s a blessing just to be part of these movies that have good messages.

239
00:14:24,154 –> 00:14:27,986
And that’s what, hopefully, that’s kind of what I think my calling

240
00:14:28,018 –> 00:14:31,058
has turned out to be. And I wasn’t set out that way. I’ve always been

241
00:14:31,074 –> 00:14:34,818
a christian. I’ve always been a conservative, but I I’m not, I don’t get

242
00:14:34,874 –> 00:14:37,922
angry at people at different points of view. I don’t know whatever happened, but the

243
00:14:37,946 –> 00:14:41,698
mainstream media and, and, you know, Washington,

244
00:14:41,754 –> 00:14:45,386
DC and all this stuff there, it’s amazing to me in Hollywood,

245
00:14:45,458 –> 00:14:48,674
the mix of their to do and they just to spread this culture of over

246
00:14:48,722 –> 00:14:52,330
sexualization and hate and anger and divisiveness. That’s like,

247
00:14:52,490 –> 00:14:55,058
if you have a different point of view, that you just get canceled. Now, why

248
00:14:55,074 –> 00:14:58,826
do they have all, why can’t you have two sides? Why can’t, you know,

249
00:14:58,898 –> 00:15:02,618
you want to talk about global change and climate

250
00:15:02,674 –> 00:15:06,130
change and global warming? Well, I did a documentary called Climate Hustle

251
00:15:06,170 –> 00:15:09,930
two, which had all these scientists. I’m just the guy introducing

252
00:15:09,970 –> 00:15:13,666
these scientists, and you’re going, why can’t you put that, okay,

253
00:15:13,698 –> 00:15:17,328
let them watch, um, you know, the, the, uh, Al Gore

254
00:15:17,384 –> 00:15:20,432
thing, and they let them watch, you know, a different point of view and let

255
00:15:20,456 –> 00:15:24,272
kids decide on their own, but they get 99.9% of time. They

256
00:15:24,296 –> 00:15:27,976
just push that one agenda. And there’s so many people that don’t believe in this

257
00:15:28,008 –> 00:15:31,616
stuff. To me, I call it weather. I mean, weather. Give me the

258
00:15:31,648 –> 00:15:34,896
weather forecast of Paris in the month of April in

259
00:15:34,928 –> 00:15:38,712
1810. There are no records for that. They don’t know. And now all

260
00:15:38,736 –> 00:15:42,310
these scientists are coming, say, look, we need more carbon. We need more

261
00:15:42,350 –> 00:15:46,006
stuff. I mean, we’re dangerously low levels here. So it’s,

262
00:15:46,038 –> 00:15:49,342
it’s like, let people decide on their own, but they don’t let that Hollywood puts

263
00:15:49,366 –> 00:15:52,870
out their scare movies, and, you know, Al Gore becomes a

264
00:15:52,910 –> 00:15:56,750
billionaire on his fear factor. But people don’t pay attention to that, now,

265
00:15:56,790 –> 00:16:00,590
do they? It’s so ridiculous. It’s partly that

266
00:16:00,630 –> 00:16:03,974
hegelian dialectic where they’re, they’re intentionally dividing

267
00:16:04,022 –> 00:16:07,650
us and causing us to be enemies with one another,

268
00:16:08,270 –> 00:16:11,970
ultimately, I think so that the man, you know, the controllers

269
00:16:12,010 –> 00:16:15,418
can come in and swoop in and bring their form of order,

270
00:16:15,594 –> 00:16:19,290
which I think we saw really clearly in 2020 when it was like

271
00:16:19,330 –> 00:16:22,882
the maskers and the Vaxxers and then this person and that person.

272
00:16:22,946 –> 00:16:26,498
Yep. And we were being told we would be killing grandma. Right. I

273
00:16:26,514 –> 00:16:29,510
mean, we were literally painted as murderers.

274
00:16:30,250 –> 00:16:33,986
And so, yeah. I do know, though, that you,

275
00:16:34,058 –> 00:16:37,894
you have a presence on social media. You’ve got relatively big

276
00:16:37,942 –> 00:16:41,558
followings on, like, x, and you’re posting regularly.

277
00:16:41,694 –> 00:16:45,334
Do you see a time where that kind of return to free

278
00:16:45,382 –> 00:16:49,182
speech or return to the middle is available? Speaker one? Well, Elon Musk certainly

279
00:16:49,206 –> 00:16:52,702
help with them. And Facebook took me down three years ago for

280
00:16:52,726 –> 00:16:56,290
posting the truth about COVID posting the truth about voter fraud.

281
00:16:56,950 –> 00:17:00,686
We have all the truth out there, but they still. They’re

282
00:17:00,718 –> 00:17:04,500
the deniers more than anybody else. You can’t tell me Joe Biden got

283
00:17:04,540 –> 00:17:08,332
15 million more votes than Obama did in 2008, right? I mean,

284
00:17:08,356 –> 00:17:11,852
Obama was a rock star to these people again, you know, charming guy, well

285
00:17:11,916 –> 00:17:15,108
spoken, got out there, and I’m going to do all this, do all that we

286
00:17:15,124 –> 00:17:18,524
did. You know, then you get Biden, who sat in his basement during COVID

287
00:17:18,692 –> 00:17:22,052
Right. You tell me he got more votes than Trump. Trump actually got, what, ten

288
00:17:22,076 –> 00:17:25,420
or 12 million more votes the second time around. Even

289
00:17:25,580 –> 00:17:29,422
most presidents, even if they get reelected, get as many votes the second time

290
00:17:29,446 –> 00:17:33,086
around. The first time. And Obama is a perfect most recent example of that.

291
00:17:33,198 –> 00:17:36,806
Trump got even more. Right. I believe the number of

292
00:17:36,918 –> 00:17:40,078
voters are more than the number of voters are actually registered. Gee, I wonder if

293
00:17:40,094 –> 00:17:43,614
there’s anything there. You know, Dinesh D’Souza did that 2000 mules

294
00:17:43,662 –> 00:17:47,166
documentary, and you got this one guy in Philadelphia

295
00:17:47,318 –> 00:17:50,966
every night, just hundreds of ballots stuffing this place. And they got it on

296
00:17:50,998 –> 00:17:54,686
camera because of these security cameras. You’re going, is this a good

297
00:17:54,718 –> 00:17:58,062
samaritan going at three in the morning, dropping off all these ballots? I mean,

298
00:17:58,086 –> 00:18:01,486
it’s. It’s so blatant and obvious, and yet you get

299
00:18:01,518 –> 00:18:05,294
attacked and censored if you say, look, something’s wrong in the

300
00:18:05,302 –> 00:18:09,006
voting system. And I’ve been saying since the start, if we’re going to keep

301
00:18:09,038 –> 00:18:12,582
this stupid mail in voting thing happen, there’ll never be an honest election in

302
00:18:12,606 –> 00:18:16,014
America. Right? It should be honest for everybody in both sides of the fence.

303
00:18:16,142 –> 00:18:19,926
Yeah, well, you just officially got us banned from YouTube for

304
00:18:19,958 –> 00:18:23,770
this video. We’re going to get knock down on that one. So that’s cool. Yeah.

305
00:18:23,810 –> 00:18:25,710
And we’re going to go into more

306
00:18:27,010 –> 00:18:30,762
controversial topics coming up that are sure to get

307
00:18:30,786 –> 00:18:34,602
this thing knocked off of every platform. So thank you. I appreciate that. You’re

308
00:18:34,626 –> 00:18:38,194
welcome. That’s my job, is to get truth banned completely.

309
00:18:38,322 –> 00:18:42,082
Yeah. Well, honestly, I think that that was part

310
00:18:42,106 –> 00:18:45,826
of what woke people up was like, with. With COVID we can give

311
00:18:45,858 –> 00:18:49,426
people a lot of the benefit of the doubt. Right. Not everybody had all the

312
00:18:49,458 –> 00:18:53,038
information, and there were some who were more prone to believing

313
00:18:53,094 –> 00:18:56,606
lies. Right. Or trusting the government. But what was really

314
00:18:56,678 –> 00:19:00,478
frustrating was that as there was good information coming out, it

315
00:19:00,494 –> 00:19:04,182
was being suppressed by all the social media and all the news. And

316
00:19:04,206 –> 00:19:08,054
I think actually, at some point, the other side started to realize,

317
00:19:08,102 –> 00:19:11,726
okay, if it’s such dangerous information, is it

318
00:19:11,758 –> 00:19:15,582
real? Is it important? And now we’ve seen a big swing like what

319
00:19:15,646 –> 00:19:19,254
used to be fringe, that, let’s just say the anti vax movement. Right.

320
00:19:19,382 –> 00:19:22,988
Used to be a fringe of insult to people. Oh, you’re an

321
00:19:23,004 –> 00:19:26,836
anti vaxxer. Well, now we know that way more people are

322
00:19:26,868 –> 00:19:30,660
rejecting their third and fourth and fifth and 9th booster. Yeah. And

323
00:19:30,700 –> 00:19:34,332
because of that, there’s been a fallout where now people aren’t doing their kids

324
00:19:34,476 –> 00:19:38,196
to send them to school. Um, so, yeah, I think the tables have turned. And

325
00:19:38,228 –> 00:19:41,596
part of that is a reaction to that, um, hardcore

326
00:19:41,628 –> 00:19:45,396
censorship. You know, one of. One of my things I posted on Twitter, uh, recently,

327
00:19:45,468 –> 00:19:49,316
I said, I need more conspiracy theories because all of mine came true. I mean,

328
00:19:49,348 –> 00:19:53,124
everything they took me down for in Facebook, it all came true.

329
00:19:53,172 –> 00:19:56,812
I was. I was right completely. And, um, you know, the

330
00:19:56,836 –> 00:20:00,532
proof is in the pudding there. Even. Even Fauci came out recently said, yeah,

331
00:20:00,556 –> 00:20:04,060
the masks weren’t really that effective. Of course they weren’t. Yeah. You know, well, doctors

332
00:20:04,100 –> 00:20:07,724
wear masks all the time. Yeah. Because they got opioid surgery. They don’t want sweat

333
00:20:07,772 –> 00:20:11,388
or saliva dropping into the cavity of that person’s body. It’s not

334
00:20:11,404 –> 00:20:15,042
that. I mean, we have all these people saying how big the

335
00:20:15,066 –> 00:20:18,778
virus was, how small it was, and yet the smoke,

336
00:20:18,834 –> 00:20:22,298
if you smoke, you could go right through that thing. And those

337
00:20:22,354 –> 00:20:25,762
molecules, or whatever the hell they are, they’re much bigger than the virus. So they

338
00:20:25,786 –> 00:20:29,322
compared it to putting up a chain link fence to keep mosquitoes out of your

339
00:20:29,346 –> 00:20:33,138
yard. I mean, it’s crazy to me that people. But people are

340
00:20:33,154 –> 00:20:36,562
waking up, but there’s still people. You walk through airports, I still see about one

341
00:20:36,586 –> 00:20:39,906
out of every hundred person still wearing a mask. I saw a guy the other

342
00:20:39,938 –> 00:20:43,278
day in the cardinal still wearing his mask by himself. And I look at this

343
00:20:43,294 –> 00:20:47,022
stuff and it just totally cracks me up. But these people that,

344
00:20:47,086 –> 00:20:50,806
these are people that will wear masks the rest of their lives. The

345
00:20:50,838 –> 00:20:54,606
rest of their lives. And it’s really quite sad. But that’s government’s favorite weapon

346
00:20:54,638 –> 00:20:57,694
is fear. And some people just live in fear now. And they just want to

347
00:20:57,702 –> 00:21:01,326
be total control. That’s what the government wants, total control of your life from

348
00:21:01,358 –> 00:21:05,006
cradle to grave. They want you to listen, we’re God. They see

349
00:21:05,038 –> 00:21:08,422
that. It’s not that they don’t believe in God, they just believe they are in

350
00:21:08,446 –> 00:21:11,482
goddesse. And that’s why they wanted to stop you from going to church, because that

351
00:21:11,506 –> 00:21:15,330
wasn’t essential. Mom and pop grocery stores for 60 years aren’t

352
00:21:15,370 –> 00:21:19,186
essential. Costco is right. And the target is, why is that? Oh, cause

353
00:21:19,218 –> 00:21:22,866
they’re big companies that are liberal and they throw millions of dollars at the government.

354
00:21:22,938 –> 00:21:26,698
Or, you know, it’s just, it’s insane what we’ve done to people. And it’s,

355
00:21:26,794 –> 00:21:30,458
and I’m grateful now that the truth, more and more the truth is coming out.

356
00:21:30,594 –> 00:21:34,322
Always a virus from a, from a market, from bats. Now we all know

357
00:21:34,346 –> 00:21:37,530
there’s all these people coming out, scientists. I know far more than you meet. No,

358
00:21:37,570 –> 00:21:41,098
it was developed, you know, Fauci’s guilty as a. Fauci should be in

359
00:21:41,114 –> 00:21:44,842
prison. Toshin Gates, those guys are, are evil people. What they

360
00:21:44,866 –> 00:21:48,474
did. And remember, our government paid our

361
00:21:48,522 –> 00:21:52,170
tax dollars to hospitals for every $19,000

362
00:21:52,210 –> 00:21:53,390
for every COVID.

363
00:21:55,530 –> 00:21:58,950
Infection, and they gave him. 39,000 for every death.

364
00:21:59,370 –> 00:22:02,658
Of course they were killing people. We let these. And it’s coming out more and

365
00:22:02,674 –> 00:22:06,362
more. The ventilators did nothing but help people die. That’s what the ventilators

366
00:22:06,426 –> 00:22:10,138
did. And if you’re going to give me $39,000 to lie, I

367
00:22:10,154 –> 00:22:13,430
will lie like crazy until I raise enough money for my next movie.

368
00:22:14,450 –> 00:22:18,098
It’s insane. And this was our tax dollars. And what did the government

369
00:22:18,154 –> 00:22:21,706
do, especially under Biden the last three years? Print money. Print,

370
00:22:21,778 –> 00:22:25,298
print, print. I’ve got a t shirt on sorbo studios from

371
00:22:25,434 –> 00:22:29,018
one of my twitters that says, why do I have to pay taxes? And we

372
00:22:29,034 –> 00:22:32,602
can just keep printing money. Yeah. Amen. Yeah, well,

373
00:22:32,746 –> 00:22:36,498
and why do we pay taxes now if it’s just going to go to Ukraine

374
00:22:36,554 –> 00:22:39,842
and other countries? We have enough problems on our own country.

375
00:22:39,986 –> 00:22:43,602
Yeah, exactly. We have a border that, go back. Go back to

376
00:22:43,626 –> 00:22:46,602
Vietnam, for crying out loud. What the hell was that war about? And you talk

377
00:22:46,626 –> 00:22:50,274
the last 20 years in the Middle east where we spent trillions of dollars.

378
00:22:50,362 –> 00:22:54,122
What changed? Nothing. Yeah, nothing. They’re still in

379
00:22:54,146 –> 00:22:57,954
control. Yeah. We’re going to switch gears a little bit, but first I want

380
00:22:57,962 –> 00:23:01,750
to take a break. I think this is a good time to do it, man.

381
00:23:01,790 –> 00:23:05,398
If you’re enjoying the Thinking dad podcast, I want to ask for your help.

384
00:23:12,870 –> 00:23:16,598
dads who could really use this encouragement and send them a link to

385
00:23:16,614 –> 00:23:20,182

397
00:24:00,654 –> 00:24:04,262
they just believe in this mission. So they were game to come along with us

398
00:24:04,286 –> 00:24:08,006
for the first season and support us in a big way. If you are

399
00:24:08,038 –> 00:24:11,822
blessed by this show, it’s partially because of them. I want

400
00:24:11,846 –> 00:24:14,774
you to take a minute and say thank you to them. It really does help

401
00:24:14,822 –> 00:24:18,558
out. All right, we are with Kevin Sorbo, not

402
00:24:18,614 –> 00:24:21,694
just a former male model, but also actor,

403
00:24:21,862 –> 00:24:24,634
director, writer, speaker,

404
00:24:24,762 –> 00:24:28,538
activist. And Kevin, I wanted to go back to something we

405
00:24:28,554 –> 00:24:32,146
hit on. You have an amazing wife and you’ve been

406
00:24:32,178 –> 00:24:36,026
married a long time. In an industry where that’s really not the

407
00:24:36,058 –> 00:24:39,070
norm, how has that happened?

408
00:24:39,890 –> 00:24:42,310
I just agree with everything she does.

409
00:24:43,450 –> 00:24:47,298
26 years. Yeah. I told her on our 10th anniversary, that was like

410
00:24:47,314 –> 00:24:50,890
a golden anniversary in Hollywood, because if you look at actors that have been married

411
00:24:50,930 –> 00:24:54,394
26 years, that’s probably a combination of five different weddings,

412
00:24:54,562 –> 00:24:58,322
right? You know what? We have our

413
00:24:58,346 –> 00:25:01,674
battles, but we’re on the same page on so many things, you know, and I

414
00:25:01,682 –> 00:25:04,910
think we balance out each other in a lot of good, positive ways. And

415
00:25:05,250 –> 00:25:08,946
it’s, you know, I grew up, you know, my

416
00:25:08,978 –> 00:25:12,810
parents were together 60 years before my dad passed away. Wow. And

417
00:25:12,850 –> 00:25:16,054
so I grew up at a very positive,

418
00:25:16,242 –> 00:25:19,406
um, you know, impression of

419
00:25:19,438 –> 00:25:23,102
marriage. And my parents argued yeah, but there wasn’t

420
00:25:23,126 –> 00:25:26,814
like screaming, there wasn’t that kind of stuff. They disagree and stuff. But man,

421
00:25:26,862 –> 00:25:29,966
I read, you know, I got memories of my dad, you know, all the time

422
00:25:29,998 –> 00:25:33,390
coming up and hugging my mom through all those decades I was at, you know,

423
00:25:33,470 –> 00:25:37,102
I’ve known them and just never really

424
00:25:37,166 –> 00:25:40,214
having. I think Sam and I have bigger fights than my mom and dad ever

425
00:25:40,262 –> 00:25:43,764
did, certainly. But we’re both strong willed people, you know,

426
00:25:43,852 –> 00:25:47,564
and that’s going to happen. But it’s, I think we just,

427
00:25:47,612 –> 00:25:50,760
we work together really well and she’s

428
00:25:51,820 –> 00:25:55,596
a breed mother and homeschool advocates. She travels the country.

429
00:25:55,668 –> 00:25:59,492
My kids are awesome. I think one of the blessings of COVID to go

430
00:25:59,516 –> 00:26:03,132
back to our last segment is that 2 million more homes are homeschooling

431
00:26:03,156 –> 00:26:06,932
now. Right? Because people started waking up to how horrible our

432
00:26:06,956 –> 00:26:10,484
public education system is because it’s just gotten worse decade after

433
00:26:10,532 –> 00:26:14,084
decade. I mean when I was in school back in the seventies and

434
00:26:14,212 –> 00:26:17,800
early eighties, teachers taught what they were being paid to teach.

435
00:26:18,300 –> 00:26:21,572
They weren’t telling me to change my sex. They weren’t telling me that I’m a

436
00:26:21,596 –> 00:26:24,996
white person. That’s evil. They weren’t telling me don’t believe in God

437
00:26:25,028 –> 00:26:28,756
or only vote for a liberal. They weren’t telling me that stuff.

438
00:26:28,788 –> 00:26:31,960
But that’s all we get now, brainwashed over and over again. So

439
00:26:32,660 –> 00:26:36,468
I think people said, you know, honey, maybe we shouldn’t use public schools as a

440
00:26:36,484 –> 00:26:40,260
babysitting service for our kids. Maybe, just maybe we should start

441
00:26:40,300 –> 00:26:43,908
looking at Hope schooling. So 2 million more families are doing that now and I

442
00:26:43,924 –> 00:26:46,708
think more and more will do it because it’s insane. Here in the state of

443
00:26:46,724 –> 00:26:50,564
Florida. They got rid of twelve conservative school boards across

444
00:26:50,652 –> 00:26:54,244
of the state. They replace it with conservative people

445
00:26:54,372 –> 00:26:57,916
that want to make public school good again. But public school will never be good

446
00:26:57,948 –> 00:27:01,606
because it’s run by the government. Right? Yeah. I

447
00:27:01,638 –> 00:27:05,214
have to touch on this only because you brought it up, the homeschooling thing. And

448
00:27:05,342 –> 00:27:09,130
this is the revolution. I think truly if there’s one,

449
00:27:10,390 –> 00:27:13,814
aside from just the gospel, right. Aside from

450
00:27:13,862 –> 00:27:17,478
gospel change in people’s hearts, I think if there’s one movement

451
00:27:17,614 –> 00:27:20,974
that can truly change the course of our nation for

452
00:27:21,022 –> 00:27:24,694
good, it’s homeschooling. And your wife was a big

453
00:27:24,742 –> 00:27:28,454
part of our movie schoolhouse rock, the home school revolution. Um,

454
00:27:28,542 –> 00:27:31,606
we were so glad to have her and her voice is so strong in that.

455
00:27:31,718 –> 00:27:35,526
Um, but parents, I would encourage you if your kids are still in the government

456
00:27:35,598 –> 00:27:39,334
schools understand there is an agenda there, and it’s not

457
00:27:39,382 –> 00:27:42,902
really a safe place. So check out the movie. Um,

458
00:27:43,046 –> 00:27:46,806
you, you touched on your kids, and you’re in a similar place as

459
00:27:46,838 –> 00:27:50,142
me as a parent. You have, you have young adult kids and. And

460
00:27:50,206 –> 00:27:53,856
one, uh, who’s right on the cusp of adulthood.

461
00:27:53,998 –> 00:27:57,516
How has that transition been for you as you’ve, you’ve seen your kids go

462
00:27:57,548 –> 00:28:00,932
from, you know, school kids to kind of make it on their

463
00:28:00,956 –> 00:28:04,604
own? Well, I love the, I love the, the false rumor

464
00:28:04,652 –> 00:28:08,500
that kids that are homeschooled don’t have social skills. Uh huh. Kids

465
00:28:08,540 –> 00:28:12,260
have far better social skills than the

466
00:28:12,340 –> 00:28:15,996
bullying world and the ridiculous, crazy, hate filled

467
00:28:16,028 –> 00:28:19,812
world of public schools. My kids, I put

468
00:28:19,836 –> 00:28:23,678
them up against, you know, that they’re going to beat probably 95%

469
00:28:23,734 –> 00:28:25,890
of public school kids in terms of

470
00:28:27,190 –> 00:28:31,022
testing and math and science and history and civics. They don’t teach civics in

471
00:28:31,046 –> 00:28:34,814
school anymore because they don’t want kids to grow up realizing it’s, oh, it’s

472
00:28:34,862 –> 00:28:38,310
we the people, but we can’t let them know that.

473
00:28:38,470 –> 00:28:42,262
So, you know, look, I’ve always joked, but I don’t think it’s

474
00:28:42,286 –> 00:28:45,374
much of a joke. I think that our government now is worse than the british

475
00:28:45,422 –> 00:28:49,202
monarchy was when we had the revolutionary war. Theres more control and more

476
00:28:49,226 –> 00:28:52,898
stipulations on what we can do now. Were losing freedom of speech. Every

477
00:28:52,954 –> 00:28:56,714
single day. People are getting arrested. There was a guy in

478
00:28:56,762 –> 00:29:00,530
England because Englands getting horrible, too. Canada, forget about it. That guys

479
00:29:00,570 –> 00:29:02,630
a dictator up there. Hes just a goofball.

480
00:29:03,810 –> 00:29:07,658
Trudeaus son was. I think its more Fidel Castros son is

481
00:29:07,674 –> 00:29:10,882
what the rumor is from all my canadian buddies. And you look at the photos,

482
00:29:10,906 –> 00:29:14,310
you go, it looks sure looks like that could have happened. But, yeah,

483
00:29:15,090 –> 00:29:18,842
there was a guy in, in London who got two years in

484
00:29:18,866 –> 00:29:21,970
prison for having a sticker on his car

485
00:29:22,130 –> 00:29:25,738
saying, it’s okay to be white. That’s all it says. It’s okay to be

486
00:29:25,754 –> 00:29:29,154
white. Two year sentence. Wow. What is going on? I mean,

487
00:29:29,202 –> 00:29:32,674
it’s. It’s weird what’s going on right now. And

488
00:29:32,842 –> 00:29:36,410
this whole diversity thing. Look, I always post stuff that goes, I need more

489
00:29:36,450 –> 00:29:40,170
diversity in the NBA. You know, we need more white

490
00:29:40,210 –> 00:29:43,226
people in the NBA. It’s not fair. We need more people from Guan. We need

491
00:29:43,258 –> 00:29:47,042
more midgets. We need more hispanic people. We need

492
00:29:47,066 –> 00:29:50,874
more. I mean, the NBA is like 85% african american. That’s not

493
00:29:50,922 –> 00:29:54,762
fair. That’s unfair. You know, and I say that on sarcasm. I get attacked for

494
00:29:54,786 –> 00:29:58,506
saying that. I’m going, no, my point is exactly what sports are doing,

495
00:29:58,538 –> 00:30:02,066
like the NBA. You want to hire the best people for the

496
00:30:02,098 –> 00:30:05,856
job. As simple as that. I don’t care what color people are, what religion, they’re

497
00:30:05,938 –> 00:30:09,628
what, whatever they may be. If I run a business, I want to

498
00:30:09,644 –> 00:30:13,468
hire, in my mind, is this the best person with the

499
00:30:13,484 –> 00:30:16,116
job or is this person, I want to hire the best person? It’s as simple

500
00:30:16,148 –> 00:30:19,844
as that. And sports is a place that plays that out. And I

501
00:30:19,932 –> 00:30:23,284
laugh at people’s response when I say I want more diversity in pro

502
00:30:23,332 –> 00:30:27,148
sports. Guys go, boy. Because the white people are good enough to compete as a

503
00:30:27,164 –> 00:30:30,756
black people. They don’t get my, they don’t get the joke in this reality

504
00:30:30,828 –> 00:30:34,360
of how stupid it is that, yes, I agree, you should hire the best

505
00:30:34,400 –> 00:30:37,592
person. Yeah. Period. Yeah. Life is really a

506
00:30:37,616 –> 00:30:41,060
meritocracy, and the left wants to deny that.

507
00:30:41,360 –> 00:30:45,024
But then when they put people up who can’t really carry the ball,

508
00:30:45,072 –> 00:30:48,816
like I’m going to, I’m going to just name, Fannie Willis is just stumbling all

509
00:30:48,848 –> 00:30:52,544
over herself right now and the left is going to eat her alive.

510
00:30:52,712 –> 00:30:56,080
They, they love to eat their own when they can’t live up to this

511
00:30:56,120 –> 00:30:59,420
ideal. That’s, of course, an insane ideal. We understand

512
00:30:59,740 –> 00:31:03,484
when you’re talented, when you’re smart, when you’re, you know, good at what you do,

513
00:31:03,532 –> 00:31:07,212
you progress. And when you’re put up and you’re not good at

514
00:31:07,236 –> 00:31:10,068
those things, you’re set up to fail. Well, let me talk, let me talk about

515
00:31:10,084 –> 00:31:13,520
it. I’ll take the NBA again. Take a magic johnson. You know,

516
00:31:15,500 –> 00:31:19,220
Michael Jordan. You take guys like that. What does that do for younger

517
00:31:19,260 –> 00:31:22,636
kids? They go, I want to work harder. I want to be good like that,

518
00:31:22,668 –> 00:31:26,326
too. Competition’s a good thing. And right now we’re trying to

519
00:31:26,398 –> 00:31:29,942
get rid of that where everybody’s the same. We’re not all the same. I’ll never

520
00:31:29,966 –> 00:31:33,422
be as good as Tiger woods and golf, even though I love golf, I’ll never

521
00:31:33,526 –> 00:31:37,190
touch that. Right. But because of people like that,

522
00:31:37,230 –> 00:31:40,934
it made other people work hard to follow that dream. We’re laughing at people

523
00:31:40,982 –> 00:31:44,302
now following the american dream. We’re trying to get rid of it. I’m not, I

524
00:31:44,326 –> 00:31:48,126
still believe in the american dream that come to this country every, look, nobody is

525
00:31:48,158 –> 00:31:50,970
taking boats from key west to Cuba, are they?

526
00:31:51,540 –> 00:31:54,964
Nobody. No. No. Americans are running to the, to the

527
00:31:55,012 –> 00:31:58,532
mexican border saying, I really want to get into Mexico. Right.

528
00:31:58,636 –> 00:32:02,412
So it’s, it’s, you know, you brought up earlier about what

529
00:32:02,436 –> 00:32:06,020
the, what we’re doing at the border it’s unforgiving and

530
00:32:06,060 –> 00:32:08,740
unimaginable what Biden and his people are doing. Trump led

531
00:32:08,780 –> 00:32:12,484
4.1.4 million in four years. This guy’s let over

532
00:32:12,532 –> 00:32:16,204
10 million in three years. And we’re flying people

533
00:32:16,252 –> 00:32:20,024
in as well. That just came out that at least 380,000 immigrants

534
00:32:20,132 –> 00:32:23,768
didn’t have to cross the border by foot. We actually sent down

535
00:32:23,824 –> 00:32:27,040
United and Delta and American Airlines to fly them in Atlanta and

536
00:32:27,080 –> 00:32:30,896
cities. I’m going, look, this is treason. Yeah. And it’s

537
00:32:30,928 –> 00:32:34,656
so much worse than we’re even seeing on social media. Of course, on the

538
00:32:34,688 –> 00:32:38,528
news, they’re not showing it. My little brother served on the border for many

539
00:32:38,584 –> 00:32:42,296
months in the Texas guard, and he would tell me stories that

540
00:32:42,328 –> 00:32:45,880
were just heartbreaking and terrifying at the same

541
00:32:45,920 –> 00:32:49,466
time. Yeah. And what frustrates me is right now, as we

542
00:32:49,498 –> 00:32:53,154
record this, uh, the left is blaming the right

543
00:32:53,282 –> 00:32:56,866
for not passing a border security bill. Right. We have

544
00:32:56,938 –> 00:33:00,634
all the, all the laws we need. We don’t need laws. We had them under,

545
00:33:00,682 –> 00:33:03,930
under, under Trump. Right. Biden. To get rid of that.

546
00:33:04,050 –> 00:33:07,258
Yeah. So, and he’s down there. He decides to show up at the border the

547
00:33:07,274 –> 00:33:11,018
same day Trump does. He goes where there’s really not much happening. Trump goes where,

548
00:33:11,034 –> 00:33:14,810
it’s, where it’s busy. Right. And he’s, he blamed Trump for the border

549
00:33:14,850 –> 00:33:18,626
problem. And you’re going, they know they

550
00:33:18,658 –> 00:33:21,746
lie. They know they lie, but they don’t

551
00:33:21,898 –> 00:33:25,234
care. They just don’t care. All the problems that they

552
00:33:25,282 –> 00:33:28,978
create, they deflect. It’s all deflection. They blame it on

553
00:33:29,154 –> 00:33:32,882
when something bad’s going to happen now and people are going, I didn’t see

554
00:33:32,906 –> 00:33:36,306
this coming. How did you not see it coming? Because there’s so much ignorance in

555
00:33:36,338 –> 00:33:40,114
America. There’s so much uneducated people in America not looking at the facts and

556
00:33:40,122 –> 00:33:43,734
the reality of what this country is doing. Yeah. I mean, yeah, you, you

557
00:33:43,782 –> 00:33:47,582
talk about the lies and you say they, they lie. Um, one of the

558
00:33:47,606 –> 00:33:51,358
things I realized early on in Covid, you, you mentioned Fauci and that

559
00:33:51,374 –> 00:33:54,950
Fauci needed to go to jail, and Fauci’s now come out and said

560
00:33:55,070 –> 00:33:58,774
the masks weren’t really effective. And one of the things I realized

561
00:33:58,822 –> 00:34:02,582
early on was that the, the lying and the gaslighting was really

562
00:34:02,646 –> 00:34:06,398
a strat, a strategic weapon to break us down. Because

563
00:34:06,454 –> 00:34:10,290
if you remember in the, in the beginning, Fauci said, don’t wear masks unless

564
00:34:10,330 –> 00:34:13,458
you’re a surgeon. You don’t need to wear a mask. They’re not really going to

565
00:34:13,474 –> 00:34:17,098
do anything. He did say that early on, right? And then he said, no, we

566
00:34:17,114 –> 00:34:20,914
need to wear masks. Go ahead, wear masks. Then he said, you probably

567
00:34:20,962 –> 00:34:24,802
need to wear two masks because one’s not working, so two’s going to do

568
00:34:24,826 –> 00:34:28,642
more. Right? And what I realized was that even the

569
00:34:28,706 –> 00:34:32,306
essential, non essential thing, everything was presented to us, and it was

570
00:34:32,338 –> 00:34:36,026
clearly ridiculous, but we were supposed to accept

571
00:34:36,098 –> 00:34:39,820
it, and that was really to break us down, break down our will,

572
00:34:39,940 –> 00:34:43,636
so that we would just say, yes, whatever you want us to do, we’ll

573
00:34:43,668 –> 00:34:47,372
do. That’s. And that’s what people do. We’re just, we’re just zombies. We’re just,

574
00:34:47,476 –> 00:34:50,948
look, like you said, where I’m okay. Oh, I was wrong, because he went backstage

575
00:34:51,004 –> 00:34:54,052
afterwards. Dude, don’t tell him not to. Tell him to wear a mask. So next

576
00:34:54,076 –> 00:34:57,708
time, wear a mask. Oh, you still got Covid. Okay, take a shot

577
00:34:57,884 –> 00:35:01,596
and keep the mask. Oh, you still got. Okay, wear two masks. Take a

578
00:35:01,628 –> 00:35:05,068
second shot. Oh, you still got coke. Okay, take a booster. We’ll call it a

579
00:35:05,084 –> 00:35:08,548
booster. Even though it’s another shot, we’ll get a different name. It sounds like, oh,

580
00:35:08,564 –> 00:35:12,040
it’s not that big a deal. And it’s unbelievable, you know,

581
00:35:12,420 –> 00:35:14,880
the number of. It’s like an 800%

582
00:35:15,700 –> 00:35:19,148
casualty rate among 24 and younger that took the shot. Now,

583
00:35:19,244 –> 00:35:22,756
800% more deaths in that age group than they’ve ever seen

584
00:35:22,788 –> 00:35:26,060
before, and they don’t want to relate it to the shots, right? All these people,

585
00:35:26,140 –> 00:35:29,908
people dying, and we have heart. There’s a pilot, american allies pilot who got fired.

586
00:35:29,924 –> 00:35:32,972
He wouldn’t take the shot. I can’t remember his name. I got his business card

587
00:35:32,996 –> 00:35:36,764
here. I met him. And he is now reporting

588
00:35:36,812 –> 00:35:40,080
all the number of pilots that are getting heart attacks.

589
00:35:40,460 –> 00:35:44,228
They’re dying in their hotel rooms on layovers. And so you

590
00:35:44,244 –> 00:35:47,372
get to the plane, you’re going, oh, we’re still waiting on a pilot to show

591
00:35:47,396 –> 00:35:50,204
up because they had to call another one to show up. He says, this is

592
00:35:50,252 –> 00:35:53,452
huge, what’s going on? And they’re covering all this stuff up. They don’t want anybody

593
00:35:53,476 –> 00:35:57,046
to know about it, but it’s happening more and more and more, and they’re worried

594
00:35:57,078 –> 00:36:00,702
about diversity. The CEO of United

595
00:36:00,766 –> 00:36:04,550
Airlines is an ex Navy seal or something, yet he dresses in

596
00:36:04,590 –> 00:36:08,382
drag. Video footage when they walk around all four, I mean, it’s just

597
00:36:08,446 –> 00:36:12,238
really bizarre. He’s the one that says, I want more diversity. I

598
00:36:12,254 –> 00:36:15,790
want amputees flying planes. I want, I want people

599
00:36:15,950 –> 00:36:19,598
all female. And I’m like, oh, and Rob Schneider’s a good friend of

600
00:36:19,614 –> 00:36:23,438
mine very, you know, from SNL. He does. He’s an all Adam Sandler’s

601
00:36:23,454 –> 00:36:26,522
movie. They’re very good friends. He’s very conservative. And I saw a bit of his

602
00:36:26,546 –> 00:36:29,922
stand up the other day on the Internet, and he said, he said,

603
00:36:29,986 –> 00:36:33,786
so I guess, you know, I guess we’re

604
00:36:33,818 –> 00:36:37,578
tired of white pilots landing planes safely. We just need a

605
00:36:37,594 –> 00:36:41,242
little more excitement on our plane. I thought,

606
00:36:41,386 –> 00:36:44,826
once again, hire the best people. I don’t care if they’re a woman or a

607
00:36:44,858 –> 00:36:47,922
black or white. I want to hire the best people and the best pilots because

608
00:36:47,946 –> 00:36:51,650
I fly a lot. I want to land safely, too. But it’s the

609
00:36:51,690 –> 00:36:55,514
world we live in right now where just this attacks on anybody

610
00:36:55,682 –> 00:36:59,310
who’s looking for normalcy because they’re changing all the words.

611
00:36:59,810 –> 00:37:03,466
They’re redefining everything. They’re rewriting history. Pull

612
00:37:03,498 –> 00:37:07,298
down statues, for crying out loud. And I said, please send the statues

613
00:37:07,354 –> 00:37:10,310
to me. I would love to put Lincoln and Jefferson and

614
00:37:10,970 –> 00:37:13,950
all these guys along my driveway. I think it’d be awesome.

615
00:37:14,810 –> 00:37:18,266
God forbid, bad people. And the people that are

616
00:37:18,298 –> 00:37:22,114
canceling these must be absolutely sin free, perfect

617
00:37:22,162 –> 00:37:25,970
people, right? Because they’re judging everybody else. But these

618
00:37:26,010 –> 00:37:29,754
people are just antifa. They must be wonderful, wonderful people.

619
00:37:29,802 –> 00:37:33,074
What they’re doing. You know, when they, when they attack people, beat them with lead

620
00:37:33,122 –> 00:37:36,938
pipes and burn stores down and attack police, what wonderful, wonderful people that

621
00:37:36,954 –> 00:37:40,650
want to cancel you and me. Amazing, good citizens. You know what?

622
00:37:40,770 –> 00:37:44,346
Let’s ship them off to the utopia. They should move to Venezuela. Well,

623
00:37:44,418 –> 00:37:48,266
tax dollars will fly them. Venezuela, North Korea, Russia, Cuba,

624
00:37:48,298 –> 00:37:50,986
even. We’ll give some of them Cuba. They can’t leave the country. They can’t come

625
00:37:51,018 –> 00:37:54,714
back to Florida. But given these countries that they want, they want to turn

626
00:37:54,762 –> 00:37:58,346
America into, because that’s obviously their utopia, right? Yeah,

627
00:37:58,378 –> 00:38:02,122
it’s. It’s something that’s been tested the world over, over and over

628
00:38:02,146 –> 00:38:05,994
and over again, and it always fails. So let’s shift gears

629
00:38:06,042 –> 00:38:08,682
a little bit. I know that one of the things you spend a lot of

630
00:38:08,706 –> 00:38:12,448
your off time on the, is kind of your activism. I know you’re

631
00:38:12,504 –> 00:38:15,992
heavily involved in the pro life movement. Yep. You were a part of a

632
00:38:16,016 –> 00:38:19,400
documentary that was a pro life documentary. Tell me a little bit about

633
00:38:19,440 –> 00:38:23,060
that. Why, why spend your time doing that stuff?

634
00:38:23,560 –> 00:38:27,288
Well, it’s murder. We have brainwashed people for the last, I mean, it’s

635
00:38:27,304 –> 00:38:30,600
been around for a long time, but for the last 50 plus years, we’ve been

636
00:38:30,640 –> 00:38:34,344
telling people that it’s, it’s no different than, uh, you know, sneezing

637
00:38:34,432 –> 00:38:37,768
I mean, you know, these are the same people that will want you in prison

638
00:38:37,824 –> 00:38:41,516
for eating a sea turtle egg or they’ll chain themselves to a tree,

639
00:38:41,628 –> 00:38:45,388
but they have no problem killing a human being. We have desensitized people

640
00:38:45,564 –> 00:38:48,320
to the point that the life doesn’t matter.

641
00:38:49,620 –> 00:38:53,420
How do you break that three generation cycle now where people just

642
00:38:53,460 –> 00:38:56,452
growing up? Look, I do a lot of pro life speaking. Everyone is pro life

643
00:38:56,476 –> 00:39:00,236
events. I’ll have 500 people to 3000 people at the events I speak at.

644
00:39:00,388 –> 00:39:03,772
And I’ll always meet at my sign table afterwards for people who want to buy

645
00:39:03,796 –> 00:39:07,320
a book or get a picture with me or whatever. All these

646
00:39:07,360 –> 00:39:11,016
women that have had

647
00:39:11,168 –> 00:39:14,608
abortions come up to me and say, kevin, I live with it every day.

648
00:39:14,784 –> 00:39:18,380
It kills me. It kills me every day what I did.

649
00:39:19,240 –> 00:39:22,712
And people. What about people that were raped? That’s such a small

650
00:39:22,776 –> 00:39:26,384
percentage of it. I see the argument in that, I really do. But

651
00:39:26,392 –> 00:39:30,096
I still don’t see the argument of taking a human life. We’re killing

652
00:39:30,128 –> 00:39:33,906
people left and right. China makes us look like nothing. That China’s

653
00:39:33,938 –> 00:39:37,746
had close to 500 million forced abortions. That’s

654
00:39:37,778 –> 00:39:41,626
160 million more people have living in America. I say

655
00:39:41,658 –> 00:39:45,426
that, but I’m not counting 30 to 35 million illegals that are here.

656
00:39:45,538 –> 00:39:49,058
But I have a script called pearls for China.

657
00:39:49,234 –> 00:39:52,842
And it’ll never get made because it doesn’t show China the good light. Because China

658
00:39:52,906 –> 00:39:56,074
has this whole control over the media and certainly has control

659
00:39:56,162 –> 00:40:00,000
over. Over Hollywood. I recently had a documentary

660
00:40:00,040 –> 00:40:03,472
come out on EpicTV. Please go to epictv.com and check it

661
00:40:03,496 –> 00:40:07,344
out. And it deals with the issue of China

662
00:40:07,432 –> 00:40:11,112
controlling everything that Hollywood does. And they in the movies, were

663
00:40:11,136 –> 00:40:14,792
making America look bad. We’re making China communism look like a

664
00:40:14,816 –> 00:40:18,432
wonderful thing. But let’s face it, even though they rule their people in China

665
00:40:18,496 –> 00:40:22,192
under the communism, the evil of communism, they are a

666
00:40:22,216 –> 00:40:25,920
capitalist government. They love making money. So, uh, there’s their own

667
00:40:25,960 –> 00:40:29,616
hypocrisy going on there. But, you know, the battle is on. And I’m. I’m here

668
00:40:29,648 –> 00:40:33,360
to. I’m gonna keep fighting as much that I can. Yeah. Since we’re

669
00:40:33,400 –> 00:40:36,976
already gonna get kicked off YouTube for this one, I’m gonna just go to the

670
00:40:37,008 –> 00:40:40,696
next topic, which is it? It always strikes

671
00:40:40,728 –> 00:40:44,336
me that the left is a death cult, and you’re fighting against

672
00:40:44,408 –> 00:40:47,968
their number one method of worship. Right is.

673
00:40:48,064 –> 00:40:51,610
Is child sacrifice. But. But recently,

674
00:40:51,730 –> 00:40:55,082
in the last ten years or so, we’ve seen the rise of the transgender

675
00:40:55,146 –> 00:40:58,842
movement. And we have to look at that in the same light, in

676
00:40:58,866 –> 00:41:02,562
that they’re sterilizing these kids. Yeah. And so it seems

677
00:41:02,586 –> 00:41:06,346
to me that, uh, very clear that the left is working from both ends

678
00:41:06,378 –> 00:41:09,746
now. Kill the kids before they get made. And then the ones that do get

679
00:41:09,778 –> 00:41:13,610
made don’t let them reproduce. Um, what, what

680
00:41:13,650 –> 00:41:17,466
do you see as the, the future for our nation? Are you hopeful right

681
00:41:17,498 –> 00:41:20,878
now? I have all, folks, people are starting to speak up more and more and

682
00:41:20,894 –> 00:41:23,622
more. They’re not afraid to come out and do it. And I got to thank

683
00:41:23,646 –> 00:41:26,950
Elon Musk again for that with Twitter, certainly Donald Trump with

684
00:41:26,990 –> 00:41:30,686
truth. We need an equal voice

685
00:41:30,838 –> 00:41:34,534
on both sides. Why can’t we look at the opposite side of every

686
00:41:34,582 –> 00:41:38,150
issue? There’s nothing wrong with that. There’s nothing wrong with

687
00:41:38,190 –> 00:41:42,038
peeking at that. So to me, I’m going to keep on speaking the truth. I’m

688
00:41:42,054 –> 00:41:45,334
going to keep on fighting the good fight. Once again, go to sorbostudios.com is a

689
00:41:45,342 –> 00:41:49,186
great place to go, but we gotta let, we gotta

690
00:41:49,218 –> 00:41:52,418
stop letting fear be the control for us. I keep telling I’m gonna wake up

691
00:41:52,434 –> 00:41:54,350
the lions, the sheep are gonna be the sheep.

692
00:41:56,370 –> 00:42:00,082
The biggest weapon against them and

693
00:42:00,106 –> 00:42:03,386
against what they do themselves is apathy. I think apathy is one of the biggest

694
00:42:03,418 –> 00:42:07,138
killers in America, let alone the world. People go, well, what can I do? Well,

695
00:42:07,154 –> 00:42:10,682
there’s a lot you can do. Just gotta do it. Every movie I’ve been shooting

696
00:42:10,706 –> 00:42:14,106
the last six, seven years, I get another actor. I get a,

697
00:42:14,298 –> 00:42:17,538
a director, a lighting guy. I got somebody coming up to me. It happens more

698
00:42:17,554 –> 00:42:21,322
than once in each movie, but very quietly, you know, like, we’re

699
00:42:21,346 –> 00:42:24,418
doing a drug deal over in the corner of the studio, and they’ll say, hey,

700
00:42:24,554 –> 00:42:27,738
thanks for being a voice for us. I go, well, be a voice for yourself.

701
00:42:27,794 –> 00:42:31,378
Oh, man, I want to get blacklist like you. And you will get blacklisted, which

702
00:42:31,394 –> 00:42:34,882
is really pathetic because I don’t harbor that anger towards Hollywood’s point of

703
00:42:34,906 –> 00:42:38,634
view. I find it childish and ridiculous because that’s really what they’re like, a

704
00:42:38,642 –> 00:42:42,204
bunch of, like, junior high school punks and kids that just want to

705
00:42:42,372 –> 00:42:45,876
spread rumors and giggle. Ooh, look at that person. And this is, theyre so

706
00:42:45,908 –> 00:42:49,412
immature about it. Its weird. I did a movie called Let There be Light that

707
00:42:49,436 –> 00:42:52,828
my wife wrote. Sean Hannity funded, did very well in theaters, came out in

708
00:42:52,844 –> 00:42:55,920
2018. I get a call. Opening weekend

709
00:42:56,540 –> 00:43:00,356
were a $2.3 million movie up against ragnaroks. Opening

710
00:43:00,388 –> 00:43:04,100
weekend, $300 million movie with $100 million advertising budget.

711
00:43:04,220 –> 00:43:07,636
We opened up number two per screen average. Number two, I get a call from

712
00:43:07,668 –> 00:43:11,340
Netflix saying, we want to open an inspirational division with you. Wow. Have four

713
00:43:11,380 –> 00:43:15,188
meetings with them over the next three months. Ultimately, they did nothing. It

714
00:43:15,204 –> 00:43:18,932
was weird. I said, guys, remember, you called me. You’re the ones who wanted

715
00:43:18,956 –> 00:43:22,444
this. And yet your ideology and your hate towards christians and towards

716
00:43:22,492 –> 00:43:26,212
conservatives, you are a capitalist business. You want to

717
00:43:26,236 –> 00:43:29,836
make money. And so there’s 80 million homes in this

718
00:43:29,868 –> 00:43:33,468
country, 80 million that want to the kind of movies I do. And

719
00:43:33,484 –> 00:43:36,622
yet you don’t want to service that, because. And I could tell in that room

720
00:43:36,686 –> 00:43:40,246
about ten people from Netflix, half of them were in agreement with me. But they’re

721
00:43:40,278 –> 00:43:43,718
so afraid to open their mouths. So afraid. And that’s the

722
00:43:43,734 –> 00:43:47,422
Hollywood system. Because you look at network tv, one guy makes

723
00:43:47,446 –> 00:43:51,094
a decision, he’s got all these yes people around him. You

724
00:43:51,102 –> 00:43:53,462
know, it’s going to be like, so what do you think? What do you think?

725
00:43:53,486 –> 00:43:57,206
And soon as the CEO of ABC says, “I don’t like it,” they say,

726
00:43:57,206 –> 00:44:00,990
I don’t like it either. I agree with you 100%. They’re all afraid for their.

727
00:44:01,030 –> 00:44:04,326
Have their own opinion because they want to keep their jobs. And that’s really unfortunate.

728
00:44:04,358 –> 00:44:07,454
There has to be that kind of a setup. But that’s what’s going on. Yeah,

729
00:44:07,582 –> 00:44:11,246
I hear you. Well, you’ve shifted your attention in some ways.

730
00:44:11,278 –> 00:44:14,926
You’ve worked. You’ve got to deal with Brave Books. You got a new book out,

731
00:44:14,958 –> 00:44:18,478
right? I do. Tell me about this. Brave Books. A Test of

732
00:44:18,494 –> 00:44:22,062
Lionhood. Kirk Cameron’s a friend of mine. He was my neighbor for, like, ten years

733
00:44:22,086 –> 00:44:25,438
when I was living in California. So a couple of years ago or last year,

734
00:44:25,454 –> 00:44:28,730
when I was. Kirk was being banned from public libraries that

735
00:44:29,350 –> 00:44:33,046
use our tax dollars to stay open, by the way, because he was

736
00:44:33,078 –> 00:44:36,742
reading children’s books to seven eight year olds. But they were fine

737
00:44:36,766 –> 00:44:40,086
with drag queens reading these children’s

738
00:44:40,118 –> 00:44:43,470
books dressed up, like over sexualized, over

739
00:44:43,510 –> 00:44:47,270
whatever. And I thought it was kind of funny.

740
00:44:47,310 –> 00:44:50,638
I started commenting on it, so brave books got hold of me and said, I

741
00:44:50,654 –> 00:44:53,118
see that, because I got a t shirt, too, like my son, when it says

742
00:44:53,174 –> 00:44:56,640
toxic masculinity on it, and or the futures

743
00:44:56,680 –> 00:45:00,520
patriarchy, these are the kind of things putting out there. So we came

744
00:45:00,560 –> 00:45:04,184
up with a book. It’s called the test of line. It’s a wonderful book

745
00:45:04,272 –> 00:45:08,032
about a lion cub named Lucas that he’s

746
00:45:08,056 –> 00:45:10,656
out in the woods with his sisters where they play, and they’re having a good

747
00:45:10,688 –> 00:45:14,272
time. Well, a sister gets cut by this plant that can kill you. And he

748
00:45:14,296 –> 00:45:17,952
knows that. He’s been taught all these things from his father. So they have a

749
00:45:17,976 –> 00:45:21,270
mother to a father. It’s shocking, I know. So

750
00:45:21,570 –> 00:45:24,018
he knows he doesn’t have time to get home to get his dad or his

751
00:45:24,034 –> 00:45:27,834
mom to help that he’s closer to the mountain where the flower is.

752
00:45:27,962 –> 00:45:31,122
That is the antidote to that. So he’s got to pass his own fears. He’s

753
00:45:31,146 –> 00:45:34,670
got to find the courage, and he ends up saving his little sister’s life.

754
00:45:34,970 –> 00:45:38,210
And I got attacked by the Alphabet crowd. I can’t say because they’ve got every

755
00:45:38,250 –> 00:45:40,350
Alphabet and every pie and

756
00:45:41,370 –> 00:45:44,630
pythagorean theorem. They’re taking everything right now. And

757
00:45:45,130 –> 00:45:48,874
I said, this is not anti train the

758
00:45:48,882 –> 00:45:52,710
genes on anti anything. It’s pro child. Zola is a pro child

759
00:45:53,010 –> 00:45:56,178
in my book. Let kids grow up to be kids. Let kids grow up to

760
00:45:56,194 –> 00:45:59,850
be adults and become like fathers, become good fathers,

761
00:45:59,890 –> 00:46:03,738
good, you know, pillars in the community. Let them grow up. Let

762
00:46:03,754 –> 00:46:06,146
them get old enough to make a decision. What they want to make in life,

763
00:46:06,178 –> 00:46:09,858
that big of a decision. Don’t tell a five year old boy because he

764
00:46:09,874 –> 00:46:12,930
throws on his mom’s high heels. That is, oh, you want to be a girl?

765
00:46:12,970 –> 00:46:16,820
Let’s cut your penis off. Let him grow up. Ive seen plenty of videos

766
00:46:16,860 –> 00:46:20,556
of transgenders now 20 years old or older saying, what were you

767
00:46:20,588 –> 00:46:24,348
doing, mom, I was a kid. What were you thinking? Im not a five year

768
00:46:24,364 –> 00:46:27,612
old thats going to sit there and go, okay. I mean, this is. And im

769
00:46:27,636 –> 00:46:31,412
got a doctor. Im not going to big hospital around the country. And he

770
00:46:31,436 –> 00:46:34,460
said, you know what? We used to get one every six months. Were getting ten

771
00:46:34,500 –> 00:46:38,116
a week now. So youre not telling me. Theres not an influence coming out through

772
00:46:38,148 –> 00:46:41,846
our teachers, our public schools, through the Internet. The Internet’s the wild west. There’s

773
00:46:41,878 –> 00:46:45,454
good things about it. There’s more evil things about it than there’s anything else. And

774
00:46:45,502 –> 00:46:48,530
you got higher suicide rates amongst kids. You got

775
00:46:49,310 –> 00:46:52,870
spousal abuse, a child abuse. All this, all these

776
00:46:52,950 –> 00:46:56,558
negative things are coming out because of this thing that we’re on right now. And

777
00:46:56,574 –> 00:46:59,230
there’s great things about it, don’t get me wrong. But there’s a lot of bad

778
00:46:59,270 –> 00:47:02,646
things about it, too. Yeah. Well, what I appreciate about that

779
00:47:02,678 –> 00:47:06,336
book and about this movement is that you’re, you’re

780
00:47:06,368 –> 00:47:09,968
telling young men, you know, it’s okay to be lions, it’s okay to be,

781
00:47:10,104 –> 00:47:13,560
to grow into men in a time when manhood is being

782
00:47:13,600 –> 00:47:17,192
attacked so specifically and so harshly. And

783
00:47:17,256 –> 00:47:20,992
what, what is clear is that we need real men. Right? We need men

784
00:47:21,016 –> 00:47:24,856
to stand up to protect their families, to protect

785
00:47:24,928 –> 00:47:28,352
culture and work for the right thing. I saw, I’m seeing a lot of, a

786
00:47:28,376 –> 00:47:31,618
lot of videos now, these liberal women saying, I hate to say it, but I

787
00:47:31,634 –> 00:47:34,162
think I need a conservative man in my life. I need a man that’s a

788
00:47:34,186 –> 00:47:37,750
man because too many is liberal men. They’re just wusses to us.

789
00:47:38,890 –> 00:47:42,658
And you mentioned earlier the Democrat, the liberals are always the one. They’re

790
00:47:42,674 –> 00:47:45,778
the snake that eats their own tail all the time. Look, I got to get

791
00:47:45,794 –> 00:47:49,482
this in before we say goodbye here because I may

792
00:47:49,506 –> 00:47:53,290
be getting canceled now from the autograph shows. Cancel these comic

793
00:47:53,330 –> 00:47:57,090
cons because of Hercules and drama, but just because I’m a conservative, these guys

794
00:47:57,130 –> 00:48:00,958
are, run it, don’t want to bring me in. I would love to

795
00:48:00,974 –> 00:48:04,262
meet him one to one and have a debate because I think it’s so immature.

796
00:48:04,406 –> 00:48:08,238
These are such little children that I don’t want him to come to my kind

797
00:48:08,294 –> 00:48:11,958
because he believes in God. You know, I mean, I just, it’s just so, I

798
00:48:11,974 –> 00:48:15,710
mean, I, there’s no other way to explain except immaturity. So when I do

799
00:48:15,750 –> 00:48:19,526
go though these last seven, eight years of these events, people come up to me

800
00:48:19,558 –> 00:48:22,318
now, they don’t want eight by tens of Hercules. They want eight by tens of

801
00:48:22,334 –> 00:48:25,382
my moot. I mean, God’s not dead. What if souls are for let there be

802
00:48:25,406 –> 00:48:28,752
light. That’s what they want. So I said, we got to put something together. So

803
00:48:28,776 –> 00:48:31,992
I teamed with Adam Phelps. Adam runs comic cons in the

804
00:48:32,016 –> 00:48:35,760
midwest and he’s a conservative christian guy. And he said, let’s do one.

805
00:48:35,840 –> 00:48:39,640
So we’re doing a faith and family convention and it’s wide open, diagnostics and atheists

on the Thinking Dad, and we’ll see you back here soon.

846
00:51:07,160 –> 00:51:10,152
The thing that struck me was this use of the word

847
00:51:10,216 –> 00:51:13,766
identity. And I started to think about if you

848
00:51:13,798 –> 00:51:17,150
had nothing, if you had no home, no car, no bank

849
00:51:17,190 –> 00:51:20,958
account, no clothes except was on your body, cut off from all

850
00:51:20,974 –> 00:51:24,542
of your friends, no phone, like, if you had

851
00:51:24,606 –> 00:51:28,030
nothing, no Bible, nothing, what would you have

852
00:51:28,070 –> 00:51:31,550
left? And that’s what I would

853
00:51:31,590 –> 00:51:35,390
want to strengthen. If we don’t teach our children to

854
00:51:35,430 –> 00:51:38,608
define themselves, to know their

855
00:51:38,664 –> 00:51:42,080
identity, then the world will

856
00:51:42,120 –> 00:51:45,680
identify them for you. And the first place they’re going to start

857
00:51:45,800 –> 00:51:49,464
is in the most inappropriate and disordered way, which

858
00:51:49,512 –> 00:51:53,152
right now is your sexuality. That defines who you are.

859
00:51:53,296 –> 00:51:56,600
If you have a Creator. That is the most important

860
00:51:56,680 –> 00:52:00,128
thing about you that can possibly

861
00:52:00,184 –> 00:52:03,614
exist. This is why I believe that Darwinism

862
00:52:03,792 –> 00:52:07,290
and the resulting agnostic, atheistic

863
00:52:07,450 –> 00:52:11,210
view, even of moral people – moral atheism – it strips people

864
00:52:11,250 –> 00:52:14,786
of an identity. I am a creation, there’s a

865
00:52:14,978 –> 00:52:18,530
Creator. And if that’s true, what’s my relationship?
