1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,320
Now, the program to help you and your family get fit and stay fit with a biblical foundation

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,880
without a one-size-fits-all plan.

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:14,120
It's Faith Family Fitness with your host, Full Armor Sports and National Champion Coach

4
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:15,120
Jason Lupo.

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:23,400
Welcome back to Faith Family Fitness on 100.7 The Word.

6
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,920
Today we're talking about some recent news.

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:28,000
I love current events.

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,520
I love bringing them up.

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:37,200
I love sharing how it is impacting our families, our youth in this country.

10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,720
And so today we're kind of extending Faith Family Fitness.

11
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:47,420
I've always said that there's truly five F's because you can add freedom and finance to

12
00:00:47,420 --> 00:00:48,680
our lives.

13
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:53,120
And so we're going to extend a little bit into freedom because as always we kind of

14
00:00:53,120 --> 00:01:01,840
extend topics into how it truly is affecting everything in our world and in our lives.

15
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,320
And so today's topic is on the game Fortnite.

16
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:11,360
And if you're familiar with what's happened recently, the Federal Trade Commission just

17
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:19,360
settled a $520 million, I don't want to say lawsuit, it was a complaint.

18
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:27,280
And so they settled with the owners of Fortnite Epic Games for their violations of certain

19
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,920
laws and policies and things like that.

20
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,120
So we're going to get into that.

21
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:40,400
We're going to talk about this $520 million fine levied against the owners of Fortnite.

22
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:46,080
And we're going to talk about the implications of what the game Fortnite is doing in our

23
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,080
families and also technology as a whole in our youth.

24
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:56,520
And then the overstepping of bounds by the government with regards to technology and

25
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,880
how our responsibility fits in there.

26
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,960
So it should be a very interesting show for you.

27
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,200
I hope that you stay tuned in.

28
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:09,920

30
00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:14,320
We are going to take a brief time out when we come back.

31
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:19,080
We are going to get right into this topic.

32
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:24,720
Thanks for listening to Faith Family Fitness, a presentation of Full Armor Sports teams.

46
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,640
Welcome back to Faith Family Fitness.

47
00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:27,640
Today's topic, the game Fortnite.

48
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:36,080
And recently, most recently, the FTC, the Federal Trade Commission, fined the owners

49
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:46,000
of Fortnite Epic Games $520 million for their violations of laws and policies.

50
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,360
And it came down to two different sections.

51
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,360
The first was privacy violations.

52
00:03:53,360 --> 00:04:00,160
And the reason why they were fined was two reasons in regards to this.

53
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:07,240
The first was that they collected information from your kids without the consent of their

54
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:13,000
parents, giving consent to collect that data.

55
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:20,680
The second was that their default settings harmed children and teens.

56
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,760
This is direct from the FTC website.

57
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,880
I'll read this statement.

58
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:30,720
Epic settings enable live on by default text and voice communications for users.

59
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:36,340
The FTC alleges that these default settings, along with Epic's role in matching children

60
00:04:36,340 --> 00:04:42,960
and teens with strangers to play Fortnite together harmed children and teens.

61
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:49,520
Children and teens have been bullied, threatened, harassed, exposed to dangerous and psychological

62
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:57,960
traumatizing issues such as suicide while on Fortnite.

63
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,400
That's a privacy section.

64
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:06,440
The other section was alleged illegal dark patterns that they were using dark patterns

65
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:15,160
to trick users into making purchases and they were charging account holders without authorization.

66
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:22,280
And the fact that they believed that children who understood how to play the game did not

67
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:28,080
necessarily understand the purchasing of coins or whatever.

68
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,400
I've never played the game.

69
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:37,120
Making purchases on the app and doing so, setting those up in a way that basically users

70
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,920
were purchasing things without knowledge that they were purchasing them.

71
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:47,200
And if you've ever had kids or worked with kids, you know that their understanding of

72
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:55,360
money and cost is sometimes skewed, that they don't truly understand what is going on.

73
00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:07,480
And so these are the reasons, the base reasons as to why Fortnite has been fined $520 million.

74
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,280
And this is not the first time that Fortnite has run into these issues.

75
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:15,120
It's not the first time game companies have run into these issues.

76
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:22,040
There's a recent article that Fortnite is actually being sued by Canadian parents alleging

77
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,880
that the game is addictive.

78
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:31,120
And so we have to draw a line because we're going to move away from, I think, what everybody

79
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:36,200
else is talking about when it comes to this situation.

80
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,800
And we're going to head in a different direction because we're going to head in the direction

81
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,200
of two things.

82
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,400
Number one is parenting.

83
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,960
And number two is freedom.

84
00:06:51,960 --> 00:07:02,680
Because we have to truly understand how to live in a world where we want increased freedom,

85
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:08,840
where we want control over our own lives without government overreach.

86
00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:13,480
But with that being said, it requires responsibility.

87
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:20,240
And so for the parents that are claiming that this game is addictive, parent, you got to

88
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:26,560
parent take the phone away from your kids, set boundaries, set timelines, how much time

89
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,040
can you be on screens a day?

90
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,160
And that's your responsibility as a parent.

91
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:41,840
Because the flip side of this, going back to freedom is if we're going to sue over games

92
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:50,240
being addictive, what typically comes out of these situations is increased laws.

93
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,280
You file a complaint, you're upset about something, laws come out.

94
00:07:54,280 --> 00:08:01,000
And sometimes the laws protect consumers, such as in the case of this illegal dark patterning

95
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:11,840
that they claimed that Fortnite and Epic Games was using to entice users to purchase product.

96
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:20,540
Some laws protect consumers and some overstep bounds into our freedom.

97
00:08:20,540 --> 00:08:28,080
And so if we want to complain that a game is addictive because we don't have any self

98
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:35,160
control and or parents don't want a parent, we are going to end up with laws where the

99
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,160
government dictates technology use.

100
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:45,260
And that is not a situation that I want or very many people want.

101
00:08:45,260 --> 00:08:49,200
But that is the road that we are heading down.

102
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,960
That's the road that we are heading down with technology.

103
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:59,800
And if you look at what has gone on with social media and Facebook and Twitter and Instagram,

104
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:07,840
the question has become, is social media sites the public square?

105
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:12,880
Because keep in mind that our freedom of speech is in the public square.

106
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:18,040
And so if you consider social media to be in the public square, we still have freedom

107
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,000
of speech.

108
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:26,440
But if you believe that social media is a private enterprise and they can do what they

109
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:34,580
want, then they have the right to censor content, to ban users for their speech, regardless

110
00:09:34,580 --> 00:09:39,000
of whether or not it's hate speech or just something they don't like.

111
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,460
That's the situation we're heading down.

112
00:09:40,460 --> 00:09:47,080
So if we don't want to take control, then we're going to give it over to the government

113
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,960
to make laws and take control.

114
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:57,280
And Eleanor Roosevelt has a famous quote that many of us have heard several times.

115
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:03,620
Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being.

116
00:10:03,620 --> 00:10:06,480
With freedom comes responsibility.

117
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:11,240
For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his

118
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:16,360
own weight, this is a frightening prospect.

119
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:21,140
With freedom comes great responsibility.

120
00:10:21,140 --> 00:10:31,840
So if we have the freedom to choose how our kids use technology, we also have the responsibility

121
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:42,700
as parents, as leaders, to dictate even our own self-control, to utilize that to maintain

122
00:10:42,700 --> 00:10:48,600
that freedom instead of giving it over to the government to decide what you want to

123
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,640
do.

124
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:59,860
And during COVID, we saw technology increase astronomically in our kids' lives.

125
00:10:59,860 --> 00:11:07,080
And as we know from COVID and the pandemic, that many of our enterprises, many of our

126
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:14,160
political and social enterprises are a house of cards that can fall quickly.

127
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:22,880
And the school's response to not putting kids in a classroom was to put them on Zoom, to

128
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:28,700
put them online, to put them in a video classroom setting.

129
00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:36,840
And we tend to forget things that happened, and we make small steps in losing freedom.

130
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,080
And then we look back and go, oh, it's gone.

131
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:45,800
And so we're going to remind you today of some of the stuff that happened, because it's

132
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,800
important.

133
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:54,480
Because overnight, the government, the school systems, our schools that we send our kids

134
00:11:54,480 --> 00:12:04,600
to got an inside peek into your children's bedrooms, into your homes.

135
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:13,480
They got a free look inside your personal family lives, and we allowed it.

136
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:18,500
And their response afterwards was, oh, we think that went so well, that now we're going

137
00:12:18,500 --> 00:12:23,200
to have e-learning days to where snow days no longer exist.

138
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,640
We're just going to be online.

139
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:33,480
And they're going to continue to get a look into your children's bedrooms because of this.

140
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,040
And it's wrong.

141
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,500
It's wrong.

142
00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:39,240
They weren't invited.

143
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:46,200
But slowly over time, we lose freedom in small bits until finally we look back and go, what

144
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,040
happened?

145
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,840
And that's the situation we're in.

146
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,240
So we have two options.

147
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:59,200
We can either say, you know what, we want the government to control these games.

148
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:05,000
We want the government to dictate the lives of our children.

149
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:11,480
Or we can say, you know what, as parents, as leaders in our community, we need to have

150
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:18,440
a watchful eye, and we need to actually parent what is going on.

151
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:23,440
Those are our two options because we are going to end up with a loss of freedom.

152
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:28,740
And if you remember during the pandemic, there was two stories that still stand out in my

153
00:13:28,740 --> 00:13:29,740
mind.

154
00:13:29,740 --> 00:13:31,600
The first was a story in Louisiana.

155
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:39,280
A nine-year-old boy had a BB gun in his bedroom on the wall.

156
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:46,360
And the school tried to expel him, called the local police department.

157
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,460
And it became a national issue.

158
00:13:49,460 --> 00:13:56,100
And I really like what the attorney general of Louisiana said in that response.

159
00:13:56,100 --> 00:13:58,980
Because here was his response.

160
00:13:58,980 --> 00:14:07,080
For anyone to conclude that a student's home is now school property because of connectivity

161
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:11,180
through video conferencing is absurd.

162
00:14:11,180 --> 00:14:18,320
It is ludicrous for this all-American kid to be punished for taking responsible actions,

163
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:25,120
just as it is for his parents to be accused of neglect.

164
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,920
Our country is heading the wrong direction because we slowly give up freedoms and we

165
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,520
say, okay.

166
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,240
And then we look back and go, what happened?

167
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,400
And this is the situation.

168
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:41,760
So while it seems small and it seems like some of this stuff does not affect our lives

169
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:47,640
because we don't play Fortnite or our kids don't play Fortnite or we have control over

170
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:54,160
what our kids do and do not do on the internet, does not mean that these situations are not

171
00:14:54,160 --> 00:15:01,760
affecting our freedoms and where our country is heading.

172
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:07,920
Because this stuff affects us in Colorado Springs just as much as it affects the kid

173
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,440
in Louisiana.

174
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:16,880
Because we had a similar situation in Colorado Springs with a Nerf gun.

175
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:23,060
The local sheriff was called in Colorado Springs in El Paso County because a kid had a Nerf

176
00:15:23,060 --> 00:15:28,040
gun in a Zoom class in the middle of the pandemic.

177
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,240
Orange tip.

178
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,920
Anybody smart enough could tell it's not a real gun.

179
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,160
Nerf guns don't typically resemble real guns.

180
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,360
They're clearly toys.

181
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:44,000
And the sheriff was called, sheriff got involved, kid got suspended, and that became national

182
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,700
news as well.

183
00:15:46,700 --> 00:15:51,780
And so it affects us even here in Colorado Springs, even when we think that we are in

184
00:15:51,780 --> 00:15:56,560
one of the most conservative counties in the United States.

185
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:04,520
We are still at risk because not every element of our society falls in lines with our family

186
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:11,960
values and the family values that are espoused with the people that are most likely tuning

187
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,720
into the show.

188
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:20,040
And there became more issues because then the schools decided that they no longer wanted

189
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:26,480
parents to listen in on the Zoom classes, which is just red flags being thrown up everywhere

190
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:33,200
because what are you teaching kids that you're not okay with a parent listening in to the

191
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:38,320
class while the class is taking place online in their own home?

192
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:45,480
Because once again, they believe that your home became a classroom and under the control

193
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:52,160
of local school districts, which is just plain flat out wrong.

194
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:59,720
So we have an option right now, and that is either we take responsibility for number one,

195
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:07,840
our kids' education, and number two, technology use, or we're going to continue to give that

196
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:17,840
power over to government entities to decide what is right and what is wrong for your family

197
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,980
and your kids.

198
00:17:21,980 --> 00:17:29,240
And it's a scary thought, it's a scary road to be on if we get to that point because this

199
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:38,000
is the start of a much longer conversation, the start of a much greater problem.

200
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:43,680
And don't get me wrong, don't say Jason doesn't care about the kids, Jason doesn't care about

201
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:48,960
online bullying, Jason doesn't care about all this stuff because I do, and I think it's

202
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,460
a huge issue.

203
00:17:50,460 --> 00:17:55,760
I think online bullying is a massive issue and I think it's only gotten worse over time,

204
00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:01,460
it's not gotten better, and we've failed to teach our kids to respect one another and

205
00:18:01,460 --> 00:18:06,840
how to grow relationships because once again, it's kind of hard to grow relationships and

206
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:12,080
it's kind of hard for kids to learn social skills when they've been locked up for two

207
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:17,200
years during this pandemic that we've had.

208
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:22,080
So we have to teach those social skills, we have to teach relationship building, and we

209
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:27,040
have to teach what proper relationships look like and how to handle situations with people

210
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,700
that we do not get along with.

211
00:18:29,700 --> 00:18:35,120
And it's something that we fail with as adults and it's something that we don't model for

212
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:38,200
our kids all the time in this society.

213
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:43,500
And if you don't believe me, go on YouTube and watch how other adults are treating other

214
00:18:43,500 --> 00:18:49,280
adults in these viral videos going around on TikTok and YouTube and Instagram and all

215
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:50,620
this other stuff.

216
00:18:50,620 --> 00:18:58,120
We have failed relationship wise with our fellow people and human beings and so we don't

217
00:18:58,120 --> 00:19:04,340
teach or model that for our kids all the time very well what that looks like.

218
00:19:04,340 --> 00:19:13,580
And so going back to the online bullying thing, we have to teach our kids how to grow successful

219
00:19:13,580 --> 00:19:20,880
relationships, how to deal with people that we don't like, and how to treat people.

220
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,320
That is how you solve that crisis.

221
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,580
You can't solve that crisis by government intervention.

222
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:34,720
We solve that crisis in the family home, in teaching children, in our sports teams, in

223
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:40,260
teaching children how to deal with relationships.

224
00:19:40,260 --> 00:19:46,200
And it's something I'm super proud to say that I believe that we have got that down

225
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,240
in full armor.

226
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,360
We do it well.

227
00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:56,280
Sure we have conflict sometimes, but our kids have built very good relationships.

228
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:01,240
We have strong teams with strong camaraderie.

229
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:10,880
And it's something that we pride ourselves on more than the athletic results that we

230
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:11,880
have.

231
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:17,920
We pride ourselves on the team and the connectivity of those relationships.

232
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,640
We're going to take a brief time out when we come back.

233
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,040
We are going to wrap all of this up.

234
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,400
So we will see you in about 60 seconds.

235
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:33,480
Thanks for listening to Faith Family Fitness, a presentation of full armor sports teams.

236
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,680
Teamwork is at the core of any successful organization.

237
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:42,000
At Full Armor Sports, led by national champion coach Jason Lupo, a Christ-centered approach

238
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,720
to sports fundamentals and fitness has earned his company the respect of athletes and their

239
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:48,920
parents.

240
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,760
Full Armor Sports is committed to helping youth in our community experience growth through

241
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,560
sports and to strive for improvement and excellence.

242
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:03,520
Further, youth compete as individuals coming together with a sense of teamwork, camaraderie,

243
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,280
and support for one another.

244
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:12,080
At Full Armor Sports, the reality is achievements, failures, wins and losses eventually fade

245
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:18,600
away, but the bonds team members form through competition evolve into relationships lasting

246
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:19,600
forever.

Welcome back to Faith Family Fitness on 100.7 The Word.

249
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,600
I hope you've enjoyed today's topic.

250
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:40,320
We talked about the Federal Trade Commission's $520 million fine to Epic Games, the developer

251
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:49,640
of Fortnite, for grabbing and stealing your children's private information without parental

252
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:57,240
consent, their default settings leading children to potential psychological harm, and also

253
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:07,840
the dark practices of attempting to persuade users, young kids, to buy sometimes $500 products,

254
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,720
coins, whatever is played in the game.

255
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,200
$500.

256
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:18,040
We have eight-year-olds buying with no understanding of how much money that truly is.

257
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:24,920
I don't think anybody with a right mind is spending $500 on a video game in-game purchase.

258
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,440
I don't even know why they'd offer that as a developer, but obviously it's because they

259
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,240
can get people to buy it.

260
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,440
And so we talked about all that stuff.

261
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:38,280
We've talked about the implications with our families and the fact that we have two options

262
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,200
right now because with freedom comes great responsibility.

263
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:47,800
So in situations where we have things like this Fortnite game going on, the two options

264
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,200
are this.

265
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:57,080
We either parent ourselves and we become leaders in our community or we try to get the government

266
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:01,920
involved to dictate and create laws in regards to this stuff.

267
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,460
And if we do the second option, we will lose freedom.

268
00:23:06,460 --> 00:23:11,760
And Eleanor Roosevelt said, with freedom comes great responsibility.

269
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,400
And this is one of those situations.

270
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:20,440
So with technology use, we need self-control for ourselves, but also to oversee what is

271
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,320
going on in the lives of our families.

272
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:30,220
And if we don't, we're giving control over to those government entities that will continue

273
00:23:30,220 --> 00:23:34,820
to overstep the bounds of our family's lives.

274
00:23:34,820 --> 00:23:35,820
Those are our two options.

275
00:23:35,820 --> 00:23:40,920
You have to make the choice for yourself.

276
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:46,760
If you have missed any of this great conversation or hope to listen in on a past episode, we

277
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,400
do talk a lot about fitness and your fitness journey.
