Let's go to John in Bloomfield, New Jersey.

Hi, John.

Oh, hello, Patrick.

If you permit me, I'd like to pay you a left-handed compliment.

All right.

Over the years that I've been listening to you, I took almost an immediate dislike to you.

And the reason is I kind of felt that maybe you were looking down upon people, looking down your nose,

at people being kind of flippant in your answers.

And I'll be honest with you, I didn't get a very good impression.

But as I've been listening to you for the past two years, I have to admit to myself,

this man really has said nothing against truth.

Everything he's said is 100% true. And when he doesn't know something, he's honest enough to admit it

and wants to look into it. I really have found nothing fault in anything that you've said,

and I just want to compliment you on that,

and thank you for being the fine gentleman that you are,

the upstanding Catholic that you are,

and the bringer of truth that you are.

John, I am... Wow, thank you, first of all, very kind of you, and I'm sorry if I had a negative,

if I gave you a negative impression, but more than anything, thank you for being willing to

stick it out and to keep listening, even if I rubbed you the wrong way. Maybe I still do, I don't know,

but I want to

say thank you for at least being willing to put in the time and keep listening. So thank you for both
