Summary

The world may know him as a Heisman Trophy-winning NFL star, MMA fighter, and all-around athlete. But the world’s got it wrong: Herschel Walker’s not an athlete. He’s a “competitor.” After growing up a “goofy little kid," a bully’s beatdown turned his life around in a single summer. He graduated valedictorian, gained fame in football, and was so competitive that he’d play Russian roulette just to challenge death. But after his anger led to a split personality diagnosis, he turned to God and realized “we all fall short of His glory." Herschel and Glenn discuss the anger that’s destroying our country, how we need real solutions instead of violence, and why Americans must stand up to preserve a free future for all American lives.

0:26.7	Tracking Field Sevant, an Olympic Bob Sletter, a ballet dancer, a chef, a restaurant tour,
0:34.2	an author, a reality TV star. He does everything at the top. He's also an advocate for mental health,
0:42.9	an advocate for physical health. He's sharing a story in this that is really phenomenal.
0:51.3	A conversation you don't want to miss a second on. He's now co-chair on a presidential council,
0:56.6	outspoken political voice when he doesn't have to. He's a man who has undergone an unimaginable
1:03.9	journey and a friend. Please welcome Herschel Walker.
1:20.8	Herschel, how are you, man?
1:25.8	Good. This is my last day of COVID quarantine. The family had it. And so today's my last day.
1:33.4	I can't believe I'm in my house and you're like four doors down and you're in your house. But good

1:49.1	So I have so many questions. You are a fascinating guy. I want you to know, first of all,
1:54.1	I don't know anything about sports. So I've got a couple of questions that I had my staff come
2:00.6	up with. You know, if you have Herschel Walker on you, you got to talk about sports. I know nothing
2:04.9	about it, but I know your name. You know, that says something to me, a guy who's completely
2:11.3	oblivious to sports. I know that that's what people probably know you best for. But I don't think
2:22.2	that begins to tell the story of you at all. You're a Bob Sletter. You're a wildly successful
2:30.4	businessman as well. I mean, I, if you don't mind, I just kind of want to run through your life
