In his Friday, November, 18th broadcast, "The Rest of the Story", American icon Paul Harvey encouraged his listeners to read Heritage Foundation vice president Rebecca Hagelin’s book, Home Invasion and to begin a discussion with him about our over sexualized culture. His comments in full:

"Have you yet seen the book called Home Invasion? A young wife and mother named Rebecca Hagelin in Washington, DC says there is more than one kind of terrorism threatening our children and us: the perversions of sex that we see in movies and on TV and of course on every news stand. They made it so difficult for Mrs. Hagelin to shelter her family from this social sickness that she chose to warn us with authority and certainty that our homes are being invaded now. TV with some degree of sex content in 70% of its programs, with 5 overtly sexual scenes per hour, has to know what it’s doing. I read her book and I found myself sharing her indignation and this morning I began to share her urgency when I heard that the LA Times had launched a regular pornography feature on the page reserved for entertainment. A new study by the Kaiser Family Foundation concludes that we are being engulfed by sex with 70% of all TV programs symptomatically sick and infecting all of us. I’d like your input before discussing the subject any further though. Matter of fact read the book Home Invasion by Rebecca Hagelin. Read the book then let’s talk about it."
