Since Thursday, it looked like life was getting back to normal and things were calming down. Life lied. This afternoon I was contacted by a producer at Fox&Friends, and I am scheduled to be on their show Tuesday morning 6:30ish (they should give me details tomorrow).
Fox & Friends is the highest rated morning news show in the nation with almost 2 million viewers a day. As a firm believer in the transformative power of ideas, this is an incredible opportunity, and it gets me thinking: If you had five minutes in front of 2 million people, what would you say? Your thoughts and advice is welcome.
Who knows what will happen? Maybe I’ll stutter on my name the entire time. But I am leaning away from any personal plugs like finding work, a publisher, etc. Clearly, I will talk about the event itself, but I hope to get through that fairly quickly. What I really want to talk about is the broader meaning for this entire category of events–what these sorts of stories say about each other, what they say about our national dialogue, how they point to a common love and compassion which undergirds our society and entreats us to hold each other in high regard, to respect each other, even our enemies.
Ok, maybe I won’t change the world with this interview, but maybe maybe I might help one person esteem their spouse more. If so, I win.
