Welcome to the Eric Mettaxas show with your host, Eric Mettaxas.

Hey there, folks.

Today is Thursday.

Hard for me to believe it's Thursday.

It's Veterans Day.

It is Veterans Day. I don't remember Veterans Day falling on a Thursday. Do you remember that? No. It's just November 11th is always... I know. Yeah. Well, listen, I say this in most of my speeches now. There have been people who have given their lives to this country. There have been people who've given years to serve this country. We are all, every single American, obliged to give. Now, if you don't

give your blood in your life or you don't serve in the military, you need to give in other ways.

We need to keep the republic. And we're going through a difficult time right now as a nation,

because we've forgotten this.

And so I just want to remind everybody that when you think about these veterans,

think about the fact that it's not just for some.

We're all supposed to do something, whether that's, you know,

teaching our kids about what America is and why we're a great country and why we had a

war of independence and why we had a civil war. All that stuff is really important. So I just want to

say, first of all, happy Veterans Day to my fellow Americans. But to think about it along those lines, we all need to do something to keep the Republic.

Okay, today, Norman Stone.

Norman Stone.

Norman and I have been friends for over 20 years, and he is a great film director and an amazing friend, like a dear, dear soul.

So during the interview today, we're going to have him on today for both hours.

I'm going to pretend that, you know, we kind of don't know each other that well,

just to be professional.

But just right now, I want you to know that I really love him and his work.
