Okay, I’m really not that sleepy. (Or wasn’t *AT THAT TIME.*) I picked a frame where I’m blinking.
But you can see other frames with my eyes wide open (if you have an interest in that).
GET THE VIDEO. (55 meg; high-speed required.)
(Cowboy hat tip: Small But Disorganized for capturing & hosting it!)
NOTE: The video may only be available for a limited time only due to download restraints.

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

Jimmy can do this stuff with his eyes closed. And apparently, he does. Nice clip. Glad I could SEE it.
No bolo?
Excellent Jimmy! You are not only a great apologist for the faith, but also one for the pope. You dispelled the “opinions” on the pope very well with a clear love for the man.
Jimmy, you did a great job! I hope to see you more on Fox News. Next time, will you wear the cowboy hat? 🙂
Looked more like a sneeze on the way to me…
Thanks for posting the link.
Jimmy,
Your limo driver was correct, you were very eloquent. Many of the interviews I’ve seen have been emotional testimony and largely anecdotal. There’s nothing wrong with that but I’m glad that yours had content. I’ve heard many mischaraterizations (stemming from bad journalism or from ignorance of the Church) so it was great that you set the record straight about the conservative nonsense. He was orthodox, not conservative.
Outstanding Jimmy!

I’ll keep if up for as long as I can. 🙂
The first time I looked at that picture, I thought the caption was calling you “POPE JOHN PAUL II.”

Welcome Readers of Jimmy Akin
I’d like to welcome all of the readers of Jimmy Akin. You’re no doubt looking for the video clip of Jimmy’s interview on Fox News regarding Pope John Paul II. Here’s the video clip. Be warned. Its 55 megabytes. Don’t try this at home without b…
Awesome job Jimmy! Can’t wait to see more of you on T.V
😀
Great job Jimmy
First, nice job.
Second. I see a photo screaming for a caption contest!
Jimmy Akin…..lying in state.
Jimmy Akin, in a state of spiritual ecstasy, levitates above the city.
They must have rerun the clip because I saw you later in the day. I have listened to you on the radio for years and was pleasantly surprised to see you on t.v. I almost tripped over the dog hurrying to turn up the volume. You were so you, did a great job.
Did they give you much make-up or did you “go natural”?
Where is the New Dominion discussion forum that was shown in the interview?
JA —
I woke up with a start in the middle of the night and had this strange feeling. I thought that maybe JPII had passed so I got out of bed and turned on the tube. Boy was I startled to see you staring at me (looking about as sleepy as I was). I laughed so hard that I woke up my wife.
Good Job!!
“Jimmy Akin…..lying in state.”
Actually, Don, I’ve always thought of Jimmy as an honest fella!
😉
jimmy,
the frame that would be the coolest capture would be the one i got when i was downloading the video. my media player locked as the vatican was fading out and you were fading up.
