Live from Americas NEWS Room
top of the hour
Brian, the NFL is back and its
kicking off the highly
anticipated season
tomorrow, night
players returning to the field
and the coronavirus concerns are
there. Social justice protests
will happen
here with more on what to expect
is former New England Patriots,
good friend of the show Ben
Watson
Ben you got a movie coming out,
well hold off on that for a
second first things. First,
you play with Tom Brady for
seven years and Brady is
with Tampa the bucks at forty three
years. Old cam Newton is with
your old team, whose going to
have a better year, patriots or
bucks
well its going to be
interesting, but you could never
bet against Tom. Obviously this
is a guy who hasnt had a
losing season in his entire
career. As a starter, I dont
expect him to start doing that
right now, plus hes got a big
chip on his shoulder plus hes,
enjoying the beach and the sun.
So im excited to see what he
does in Tampa for sure
Brian can cam Newton adjust to
bill Bellechick and his system
so far. It seems he can.
This is a guy whose been an Mvp,
a great player hes
been hurt. The last few year im
really excited to see them this
season and see what cam
does in a new system and a new
place, a bunch of new surround
ings, but all the clips
that ive seen everything that
ive heard coming out of that
locker room. He immediately gains
respect when he comes in because
of what hes, Donald also the
leader he is.
Brian certainly sounds like
hes happy how bad was the
friction between Bellechick
and Brady.
I think a lot of that was
behind closed doors.
I think were going to hear
about it 20 30 years from now,
when they break the tapes open,
but what theyve done, what the
they did clearly for the NFL
over the course of the last
several decades is unprecedented
and nobody can
take that away from them. No
matter what happens, I know now
the stories going to be whose
going to win the super bowl
first and that sort of thing
which obviously weve got to
talk about
it, makes it fun, but what they
did together. They were the
perfect two people together
at the right time to create the
dynasty that they had
Brian. Maybe they will both
realize that
Ben you have the release of a
brand new movie. Its a pro life
movie called divided hearts of
America. Give us an idea of what
well see
Watsons movie. I think
youre going to cry youre
going to be encouraged, youre
going to be empowered and
convicted.
Abortion is an issue that strike
s at the heart of America.
It strikes at the heart of the
tenants of our nation and
its a very divisive issue.
You cant talk about it without
having some sort of emotion and
so, in light of what has happened
with conservative laws, liberal
law, my wife and I being co
producers set out to really
interview and hear from the
heart of America.
We interviewed about 30 40,
different people, different
voices on different sides of
this debate and really in an
effort to understood how we
got here when it comes to
abortion laws in America and
reproductive rights Laws in
America,
whats going to happen if we
continue and where were going.
If we dont change some sort of
course, so the biggest thing that
I want people to hear, youre
going to be educated, youre
going to learn, but also this is
about human dignity, its about
sanctity of life, its
about empathy and understanding
that, even though we may disagree
on something that is so
important and so vital as human
life, we need to see the humanity
in the other person.
We need to look at this debate
in a different way that maybe
we ever have before so. The
official trailer is coming
out today, im excited to
announce were going to be
releasing the movie on Digital
Salem, now September, seventeen so thats.
Next Thursday, you can learn more
about the movie and get
updates and get involved at
divided hearts of America. Film
com so were really
excited about this. We think
its going to challenge and also
educate America when it comes to
the issue of abortion,
Brian wow, so Ben Watson, being
retired nine seconds already has
a movie out. Congratulations
Ben! So go to Dividedheartsof
America, dot com for
