The Patrick Madrid Show: January 29, 2026 - Hour 2

View descriptionShare

Patrick explores the moral complexities of violent video games and draws unusual comparisons with literature and intention, then pivots to a candid exchange about the effects of smartphones on teens and family life. Calls flow in, pressing Patrick for practical Catholic wisdom, strategies for Bible study, and real feedback on the ethics of documenting protests amid escalating public tensions.

 

  • Patrick continues his conversation with John about the morality, or lack thereof, of violence in video games (00:26)
  • Daniel - How can I prepare to discuss the meaning of the book of Revelation as a Catholic? (06:48)
  • Darby - I think people can use these phones as weapons and it is hurting and killing people through incomplete information (12:05)
  • Nicki - We have the Wisephone II and it is great. It is a locked down Samsung Galaxy. We are paying more for a phone that doesn't have all the extras on it. Brick lockdown feature is great. (22:11)
  • Ruth - I am surprised that Patrick didn't point out that this is an adult child and not a 12-year-old. Also, in protests people need to establish trust. There’s misinformation coming out from this administration. (30:16)
  • Christy – Pro-life and pro-America. About Matthew 6:21: How come these people who are doing things in Jesus's name are still going to hell? (36:44)
  • Dennis – I’m a retired police officer and want to comment on police protocols. A lot of people ask why it takes 4-5 persons to subdue a person. Also, the body cams don't show everything. This is why we keep getting into this spiral. Video can't capture perception. (46:45)
