00:00:15.300 So John, you seem to be evolving as a man,

00:00:18.820 and this is my outside observation,

00:00:21.300 but as a man and an artist,

00:00:23.200 you grew up and you've said in our last interview

00:00:25.720 you wanted to be a country music star,

00:00:27.500 you wanted to write a lot of songs,

00:00:28.600 you wanted to chart.

00:00:30.000 Sell a lot of records, did all that.

00:00:32.360 But you seem to be, I don't know,

00:00:35.200 on some kind of new mission.

00:00:36.760 Am I imagining that?

00:00:37.900 And if I'm not, what is it?

00:00:38.920 No, you're not imagining it.

00:00:41.700 A few years ago, I started to contemplate

00:00:45.520 the difference between success and significance.

00:00:50.100 And they are different.

00:00:51.760 Sometimes they intersect where something significant

00:00:54.360 or something successful, they interact.

00:00:56.520 But I spent three decades of my adult life

00:01:01.580 in self-service competing in the music industry

00:01:07.880 to be successful.

00:01:10.340 And so to me, success in the music industry,

00:01:12.560 I had really high bars.

00:01:14.100 I'd set like, I want to be songwriter of the year,

00:01:17.360 for instance, in Nashville.

00:01:18.560 That's something I, that's like the coveted award

00:01:21.180 because there's thousands of songwriters in Nashville.

00:01:23.940 And I was songwriter of the year for three years in a row.

00:01:28.400 Wanted to sell millions of records.

00:01:29.980 Well, all told, you know, we sell close to 15 million records.

00:01:35.480 Wanted to write hit songs for other people too.

00:01:38.580 And I've had, I don't know how many,

00:01:41.220 I don't even know the number

00:01:42.780 of how many top 10 songs I've written.

00:01:45.320 It's a lot.

00:01:47.540 So-

00:01:48.380 Can I say, how were those victories?

00:01:49.940 Were they as great as you thought they'd be?

00:01:51.420 At the time, yeah.

00:01:52.400 Because, you know, it was my, that's my American dream.

00:01:55.580 That's what I wanted to do.

00:01:57.120 You know, I didn't go to college.

00:01:58.640 I had a four-year ride to a school

00:02:00.240 called Belmont University in Nashville

00:02:01.920 on a vocal scholarship.

00:02:03.920 And my plan was to go there and go to college.

00:02:07.340 And I'm in Nashville

00:02:08.180 and I'll try to get a record deal, you know,

00:02:10.040 and go to college.

00:02:10.800 If I don't get a record deal,

00:02:11.920 well, I went to college and I got a degree.

00:02:13.620 Maybe I go do something.

00:02:14.500 I don't know.

00:02:15.620 But instead of going to college,

00:02:17.720 I went out on the road

00:02:18.760 with some guys I literally barely knew from Texas

00:02:22.720 who were older than me.

00:02:24.640 I was 18, going on 19.

00:02:27.800 And instead of going to college,

00:02:29.980 I went out and played about 200 nights a year

00:02:31.940 in a van pulling a trailer.

00:02:33.340 All over the U.S.

00:02:34.880 playing Holiday Inn lounges

00:02:36.780 and county rodeos

00:02:37.960 and off-brand casinos

00:02:39.440 and basically anybody that would hire us

00:02:41.840 because I wanted to be on the radio.

00:02:45.680 I wanted to play the Grand Ole Opry

00:02:47.000 and I wanted to write number one songs.

00:02:49.260 And I couldn't understand

00:02:50.260 how college was going to make that happen.

00:02:52.580 Fair.

00:02:53.500 It can't.

00:02:54.380 Yeah.

00:02:54.680 I mean, it just can't.

00:02:55.920 So I said, I'm going to just go do it.

00:02:57.860 And so that band became a band called Lone Star,

00:03:01.480 which we got a record deal a couple of years

00:03:03.040 after we started.

00:03:04.260 Sold four or five million records with them,

00:03:05.980 wrote my first number ones with them.

00:03:07.660 So in those moments

00:03:08.860 where you gambled to that level

00:03:12.520 and then you win

00:03:13.440 and then everybody loves it,

00:03:16.640 it is just a constant high five.

00:03:19.100 I mean, it's just a constant celebration

00:03:20.800 because that is so hard to do.

00:03:23.520 Yes.

00:03:24.060 It's like an Olympian winning a gold medal.

00:03:26.380 That's what it's like to write a number one song

00:03:28.760 or to step out on a stage

00:03:30.400 and there's 30,000 people

00:03:31.540 that know the words to your music

00:03:32.740 and you've never met any of them.

00:03:34.340 And it's that way all over the U.S.

00:03:36.360 You can imagine that feeling,

00:03:38.020 especially in your 20s.

00:03:39.540 Yeah.

00:03:39.760 I mean, there's no better physical feeling

00:03:44.200 I don't think you can have

00:03:45.240 than just, it's just massive adrenaline.

00:03:48.000 And so throughout the course of the next year,

00:03:51.480 here comes Big and Rich,

00:03:52.580 which is, you know,

00:03:53.420 my singing partner, Big Kenny.

00:03:55.220 And we sold millions of records

00:03:56.920 and we have 20, 30,000 people a night.

00:03:59.240 And here's a whole nother rack of hit songs coming.

00:04:01.900 And now I'm finding people,

00:04:04.000 you know, bartenders who I hear sing one night

00:04:07.040 and I talk to this girl and I go,

00:04:08.540 you're one of the best singers I've ever heard.

00:04:10.780 We got to get you in the studio.

00:04:12.220 We got to write some songs.

00:04:13.280 She goes, all right.

00:04:14.540 And so we do.

00:04:15.700 She gets a record deal.

00:04:16.780 Her name's Gretchen Wilson

00:04:17.780 and Gretchen Wilson sold about 13 million records.

00:04:20.900 Damn.

00:04:21.460 You following this trend?

00:04:22.500 Yeah, yeah.

00:04:22.900 So I mean, just home run after home run,

00:04:25.580 grand slam, grand slam,

00:04:27.660 which puts a lot of plaques on your wall.

00:04:30.840 You make a lot of money doing that.

00:04:32.740 Get a lot of praise, a lot of applause.

00:04:36.040 And that's success.

00:04:37.940 That is success.

00:04:39.280 And in that world, that's it.

00:04:41.100 That is success.

00:04:42.500 But is it significant?

00:04:45.300 Meaning, what did it do other than make me feel great

00:04:50.560 and accomplish things that were on my personal list?

00:04:54.800 Nothing.

00:04:56.620 And then I thought about, well, when I die

00:04:58.880 and I go stand in front of the boss,

00:05:01.600 is he going to pat me on the back and say,

00:05:03.960 good job on all those hit songs, man.

00:05:05.700 You were great.

00:05:07.300 Good job.

00:05:08.160 You played 4,000 concerts, man.

00:05:10.560 We're all so happy for you.

00:05:12.700 You think he really cares about that?

00:05:16.040 Probably not.

00:05:16.820 He doesn't.

00:05:18.200 The answer is he does not care.

00:05:20.200 How'd that come to you?

00:05:20.740 Seeing the things that go on in our country,

00:05:27.980 seeing things that go on in our culture,

00:05:30.160 seeing things that happen to people

00:05:31.880 who cannot defend themselves,

00:05:35.080 whether it be kids,

00:05:37.800 whether it be, you know, poor people,

00:05:42.380 whoever that just gets steamrolled every single day,

00:05:46.140 taken advantage of, targeted, used, abused.

00:05:48.880 And I thought, I'm wasting my heartbeats right now

00:05:55.280 because I am capable of taking a simple idea,

00:06:00.520 a simple line,

00:06:01.380 and turning it into a piece of music

00:06:03.080 that can penetrate tens of millions of people.

00:06:07.500 And I can make them cry.

00:06:09.880 I can make them jump up and down

00:06:11.240 and scream and holler and party.

00:06:13.420 I can make them think.

00:06:14.740 I can make them not think.

00:06:16.100 I can do all kinds of things.

00:06:17.000 I mean, music is, it's the ultimate X factor.

00:06:20.800 Like, you can't touch it.

00:06:23.540 Music seeps in between the cracks and crevices

00:06:26.720 of a person's body, mind, and soul.

00:06:29.660 Like, everybody's got defenses up.

00:06:31.620 Everybody.

00:06:32.300 Yes.

00:06:32.640 Who do? I do.

00:06:33.840 Music goes right through it.

00:06:36.640 It just gets through it.

00:06:37.620 How?

00:06:38.160 I don't know.

00:06:39.140 Music is, it's like magic.

00:06:40.360 I mean, Psalms, the entire book of Psalms is, means songs, basically, that David wrote.

00:06:47.620 And David was, King David was a musician and a songwriter.

00:06:51.420 And so he, there was melodies to all those songs.

00:06:54.980 Someday I can't wait to hear him sing.

00:06:57.340 What, I wonder what melody he put to that.

00:06:59.000 Like, I've had that thought before.

00:07:00.180 But he probably put it to music because he knew what I know, which is, you can give a speech

00:07:07.680 or you can make a statement to somebody and you can say the exact same thing with a melody

00:07:13.320 wrapped around it and have two completely different outcomes.

00:07:16.700 One thing music does is once it goes into you, it stays there.

00:07:20.380 Yes.

00:07:21.160 You'll forget a speech.

00:07:22.520 You'll forget this podcast down the road.

00:07:24.460 You'll forget about it.

00:07:25.080 But like an Eddie Rabbit tune from 1978 never goes away.

00:07:28.380 That's exactly right.

00:07:29.680 Exactly right.

00:07:31.000 The, the, the earworm factor, you know, it goes deep down into your subconscious.

00:07:36.920 I don't know where it goes.

00:07:38.280 I have thousands of them in my head, but it goes deep down in there.

00:07:43.620 And I just decided that I was, I was disappointing the man, disappointing the Lord, that he gave me

00:07:52.280 this ability and then gave me a massive platform of people.

00:07:56.280 I mean, tens of millions of people know my music.

00:07:59.560 So I already have their attention.

00:08:02.240 So what am I going to, what am I going to feed them next?

00:08:04.700 What am, how am I going to, what am I going to give them?

00:08:06.740 Am I going to give them another party song?

00:08:08.700 Am I going to give them another love song?

00:08:12.060 To what end?

00:08:13.560 Like, what does that accomplish?

00:08:15.540 Nothing.

00:08:16.300 It might, it might give me another plaque on the wall.

00:08:18.600 And I need another plaque on the wall.

00:08:21.180 Like I need a hole in the head.

00:08:22.340 I walk past those plaques and go, eh, like today I do, or I'll see pictures of me back

00:08:28.340 in the day, winning an award or whatever.

00:08:30.280 And I'll remember how I felt back then.

00:08:32.020 It seems so insignificant to me now, like shallow, insignificant.

00:08:37.040 Like, what does that even mean?

00:08:39.600 It doesn't mean anything to me now.

00:08:41.640 So success versus significance.

00:08:44.380 How do I be significant with my music and with my talent?

00:08:50.060 It's writing songs.

00:08:51.420 Revelation was a great example.

00:08:53.060 You were the first guy to put a spotlight on that song.

00:08:56.060 I flew up and saw you.

00:08:57.540 We did a podcast on that song.

00:09:00.340 It resulted in millions and tens of millions, actually, of views and consumption on that song.

00:09:07.320 And when I go to a big and rich concert now, they don't generally walk up and say, man,

00:09:12.300 I'm a big fan of your music, if they have enough guts to walk up to me and say something,

00:09:19.420 which I'm always glad when they do, they say, that song, Revelation, he said, pulled the

00:09:27.340 Bible off the shelf for the first time in 20 years after I heard that song, made the hair

00:09:31.540 on my arm stand up.

00:09:33.040 I had three sorority girls down in Fort Worth, Texas.

00:09:36.020 We had a concert down there.

00:09:37.220 And like 19, 20-year-old girls come walking up to me.

00:09:40.940 And I'm like, first of all, I'm glad to still have people 19 and 20 that like my music.

00:09:44.500 Yay, good for me.

00:09:47.000 But they came up and they said, Mr. Rich, we heard your song, Revelation.

00:09:52.440 And our sorority started a Bible study on 2 Thessalonians, Matthew 24, Revelation, and Daniel.

00:10:02.600 All the things that you mentioned in your Tucker interview, and we've done a month-long deep

00:10:08.200 dive on that.

00:10:09.140 And they said, everything you said in that interview is correct.

00:10:13.260 Like, that's what it says.

00:10:14.700 But we didn't hear that in church.

00:10:17.200 But you were right.

00:10:18.120 That's what it said.

00:10:18.940 I said, that's unbelievable.

00:10:21.680 I said, well, congratulations.

00:10:23.140 Keep going, you know.

00:10:24.500 So it makes me think, I wonder how many times that has happened and I'll never know about

00:10:29.740 it because that song was significant.

00:10:32.900 It wasn't about success.

00:10:34.340 I don't even have a record deal.

00:10:36.000 I really can't make money on my songs anymore.

00:10:39.280 There's no money to really be made on music.

00:10:41.220 Everybody streams everything.

00:10:42.600 It's not about any money.

00:10:45.020 And because I'm not a part of the industry, nobody's going to call me up and say, congratulations,

00:10:49.200 here's a big number one plan.

00:10:50.440 What do you mean you're not part of the industry?

00:10:51.680 I mean, I don't have a contract with anybody in the industry.

00:10:54.980 I regularly attack the industry.

00:10:57.400 I call them out for how they treat artists.

00:10:59.940 And we're not friends.

00:11:03.420 We're excited to announce a new partner of our show, Poncho Outdoors.

00:14:06.020 than found in foods and most nutritional supplements.

00:14:10.040 Immuno 150 can be ordered from Amazon or Walmart.

00:14:13.740 Or call 844-519-3400.

00:14:17.340 That's 844-519-3400.

00:14:20.840 Or visit the website immuno150.com.

00:14:24.680 That's I-M-M-U-N-O-150.com.

00:14:29.000 Does it matter?

00:14:33.140 Not to me, it doesn't.

00:14:34.880 I don't want them to think well of me.

00:14:37.260 What does your agent say?

00:14:39.400 What can they say?

00:14:40.800 Yeah.

00:14:41.820 What does your agent say, Tucker?

00:14:43.860 I don't have one.

00:14:44.960 I'm sure you'd be appalled.

00:14:46.260 Exactly.

00:14:47.600 Exactly.

00:14:48.500 So it's-

00:14:49.220 No, they look at it and go, at this point, they just go, keep swinging the bat.

00:14:56.580 I mean, because it turns up opportunities that I never thought possible.

00:15:01.260 Like, I'll get a call and they'll say, hey, we want you to come speak for an hour.

00:15:05.020 And yeah, bring your guitar.

00:15:06.480 And we want you to play Revelation and Earth to God.

00:15:10.520 Those are the two songs we want to hear you play.

00:15:12.800 Okay?

00:15:13.600 Not the big country hits.

00:15:15.560 And I'll walk into these massive places and be able to say things to these crowds that

00:15:21.040 they're not going to hear in church.

00:15:22.520 They're not going to read it on social media.

00:15:24.740 And then there's the music factor also that comes in, which is what I love to do.

00:15:29.060 And that did not exist before I started focusing more on being significant instead of successful.

00:15:34.620 Did you play gospel in public before this turned?

00:15:38.120 No.

00:15:39.380 You grew up with it, obviously.

00:15:40.580 I grew up with it.

00:15:41.220 My dad's a preacher, sang and played in church.

00:15:44.700 But no, I mean, gospel music's never been a part of my set because when Big and Rich hit

00:15:49.860 the stage, it's coming to your city and say, well, let's ride a cowboy.

00:15:53.320 And it's all these crazy songs, you know?

00:15:55.240 And that's what they come to hear.

00:15:56.600 And that's what we give them.

00:15:58.320 But on my own, outside of Big and Rich, I have my own trajectory, my own homework assignment

00:16:05.340 from him.

00:16:05.960 And when he lays something on me to say in my music, I'm going to say it.

00:16:12.640 I'm going to write it at the top of my ability.

00:16:15.640 I'm going to sing it at the top of my ability, produce a video as well as I can possibly do.

00:16:20.560 And I'm just going to stick it out there.

00:16:22.520 And if it's significant, it will grow its legs and it will run faster than anything I could

00:16:27.540 ever do in the music industry.

00:16:28.680 Revelation is the perfect example.

00:16:31.580 Yeah, I mean, that was not the kind of song your manager would tell you to write.

00:16:35.320 No.

00:16:36.560 How do you communicate with God?

00:16:43.140 We're told in the Bible to pray without ceasing.

00:16:48.240 I mean, continually pray.

00:16:50.040 It doesn't mean continually be down on your knees praying, but it means that your headspace,

00:16:56.500 and we're humans, so we're not very good at this, but you're supposed to attempt to

00:17:02.560 stay in a headspace where it's an open channel.

00:17:05.300 So you're an old school guy like me.

00:17:06.940 You know the old CB radios.

00:17:08.680 Very well.

00:17:09.040 In your truck.

00:17:09.700 Yeah.

00:17:10.860 And if you just put it on channel 19 and turn the volume all the way up and just start driving,

00:17:16.900 and you're not talking to anybody, you're just driving.

00:17:18.680 And every now and then, you'll hear a trucker or a conversation start happening, coming through

00:17:23.080 that CB, and you're listening to it.

00:17:24.760 It's like entertainment.

00:17:26.220 You know, I wonder where they are.

00:17:27.420 I wonder what they're talking about.

00:17:28.960 I view praying without ceasing like your mind is like a CB radio that you just turn it all

00:17:35.380 the way on and just leave it there.

00:17:37.520 That way, if he wants to tell you something, the channel is open and the volume's all the

00:17:42.040 way up, and you can't miss it.

00:17:44.420 Like he'll tell you something, make you feel something, put a thought in your head, and

00:17:48.660 you don't miss it.

00:17:50.140 Because that's tough to do in life because we're running a million miles an hour and

00:17:53.740 everybody's coming at us from every direction all the time.

00:17:56.320 Yeah, there's a lot of distraction.

00:17:57.440 It's just bah, bah, bah.

00:17:58.520 It's like wasps.

00:17:59.540 It's like hornets in your face.

00:18:02.180 Yeah.

00:18:02.400 And that's not going to change because that's the way things are.

00:18:06.700 But if you can manage to discipline yourself to keep that channel open, you will hear things.

00:18:11.380 You will learn things.

00:18:12.960 He'll direct you to do things.

00:18:14.700 He'll put it in your mind to call a particular person.

00:18:20.160 Or you'll meet somebody that you would not have met had you not gone to that place that

00:18:25.240 for some weird reason you just felt compelled to go to this event or this little meeting

00:18:29.580 or whatever.

00:18:30.720 And you wind up meeting somebody that can really, really change your life in a dramatic

00:18:35.820 way.

00:18:36.240 And you can't believe you didn't know him your whole life.

00:18:38.220 I'm sure that's happened to you.

00:18:39.420 It has.

00:18:40.500 So leaving that channel open, praying without ceasing is a huge thing.

00:18:44.740 So listen, obey, but it begins with prayer.

00:18:48.580 How do you pray?

00:18:50.440 So most Christians think that because they are a Christian, that all of God's guarantees

00:19:02.540 and blessings and promises are delivered to them by default.

00:19:08.760 Now, it is their inheritance by default because they are a child of God.

00:19:13.180 They have claim to the inheritance of what he's promised us.

00:19:17.620 However, there's only one way you actually get what it is you want.

00:19:25.180 Number one, you have to belong to him for real.

00:19:27.640 You can't be a cultural Christian.

00:19:29.580 You can't say, well, I go to church every Sunday.

00:19:31.420 I'm a Christian.

00:19:32.080 That does not count.

00:19:33.020 It doesn't mean it's bad to go to church.

00:19:34.460 It means you have to be, you have to look at yourself as a piece of property.

00:19:42.940 It tells us in the New Testament, and Paul wrote, which I know you love Paul.

00:19:48.680 We're supposed to be bond servants to Christ, bond slaves, like a mule or a cow or a tractor

00:19:58.180 or whatever.

00:19:58.660 We don't have our own will.

00:20:00.700 We don't have our own ambition.

00:20:02.400 We don't have anything.

00:20:04.140 We are worthless.

00:20:07.840 But we turn ourselves over to him, and he makes you valuable.

00:20:12.500 And now he can do things with you because your entire ego and everything has been sacrificed,

00:20:18.280 put to the side, and he can do something with you at that point.

00:20:21.460 So that's number one.

00:20:22.640 You've got to be an actual real Christian.

00:20:24.360 And number two, you have to pray for what you want specifically for that.

00:20:31.520 So let's say you want discernment.

00:20:34.920 You can't make sense of what's going on.

00:20:37.580 You don't know if that's a good guy or a bad guy.

00:20:39.780 It can't make up your mind.

00:20:41.040 He's too, I don't know what I'm looking at.

00:20:42.960 And you want discernment.

00:20:45.040 God is not just going to look down and go, John needs discernment right now.

00:20:49.100 He can't figure out what's going on.

00:20:50.820 Boom, John's got discernment.

00:20:52.400 That's not how it works.

00:20:53.340 I have to ask him to give me discernment.

00:20:58.220 I have to say, you promised me that you will give me discernment.

00:21:02.320 I'm asking you to now give it to me.

00:21:04.840 That's step two.

00:21:06.080 And then step three is, he will give you what you're asking for if it serves his will.

00:21:13.300 That's totally up to him.

00:21:14.740 So for instance, let's say, let's say I'm in a really bad state of mind and I need peace.

00:21:22.740 Like I don't have peace.

00:21:23.800 I'm unsettled.

00:21:24.960 And I belong to Jesus.

00:21:27.960 I ask him to give me peace.

00:21:30.660 Now he's got to give me peace if it serves his will.

00:21:33.340 Well, if he doesn't give me peace, which has happened, I go, why are you not giving me that?

00:21:40.120 Because I don't feel peaceful.

00:21:41.900 Sometimes he wants you to be in this mode.

00:21:47.380 He wants you to be in that mode because he's got something that's going to require that element of you to accomplish whatever it is he's trying to get done.

00:21:56.040 That's that mode.

00:21:56.880 That's fight mode.

00:21:57.760 That's offense.

00:21:59.400 That's offense mode.

00:22:01.060 That is, there's the target, hit the target.

00:22:05.200 That's what that is.

00:22:06.220 It could be a subject.

00:22:07.740 It could be a situation that's going on, whatever it is.

00:22:10.640 It's offense.

00:22:11.680 Christians, in large part, remain on defense, defense, defense, defense all the time.

00:22:17.940 They don't want to engage.

00:22:19.760 And I guess they forget about the story of Jesus walking into the temple.

00:22:23.520 It was completely overrun by hypocrites and people doing business and changing money.

00:22:28.800 And I mean, just turn it into a bank, basically.

00:22:33.180 Jesus walked in there and sees this going on.

00:22:36.320 And if Jesus was a modern day cultural Christian, you know what he would have done?

00:22:40.720 Turned around and walked out.

00:22:43.320 Because he just said, well, that place has gone straight to hell, right?

00:22:47.640 I don't want to deal with that.

00:22:50.120 That's what he would have done, but that's not what he did.

00:22:52.120 He walked on in there.

00:22:55.320 It says he took, he fashioned a whip with rope.

00:22:59.000 He braided a whip together, called them sons of vipers, which I would guess in Hebrew was

00:23:05.700 probably cuss words back in the day.

00:23:07.620 Sounds like it.

00:23:08.120 Jesus probably ripped a few cuss words on these guys and then flipped the tables over and started

00:23:13.000 flipping them and ran them out of the temple.

00:23:15.380 That's pretty serious offense, don't you think?

00:23:19.620 Yeah, I'd say.

00:23:20.220 And he's the son of God and he's the example that we are supposed to live up to.

00:23:24.840 That doesn't mean you stay in that mode all the time, but there is, there are situations

00:23:30.060 that arise where Christians have got to put their dukes up and you don't hunt us.

00:23:36.320 We're coming for you now.

00:23:37.620 No, you run.

00:23:39.640 We're not running.

00:23:41.220 You run.

00:23:43.200 That's what's missing in American Christianity.

00:23:46.400 Why though?

00:23:47.240 There's been a lot of noise in the news recently, but it doesn't matter if you can't hear it.

00:23:53.000 There's no shame in that.

00:23:54.120 It happens to a lot of people every year, millions.

00:23:56.440 You get deaf as you get older, especially if you shot without earplugs as a kid.

00:24:02.020 But our friends at Audion can help you.

00:24:04.820 Hearing loss is more widespread than most people realize.

00:24:07.920 Over 460 million people worldwide live with disabling hearing loss.

00:24:13.020 80% of them don't wear hearing aids.

00:24:15.820 And the reason is simple.

00:24:17.100 They're super expensive.

00:24:18.740 Thousands of dollars, prescriptions, medical visits.

00:24:21.800 And so most people don't want to deal with that or they can't afford it.

00:24:24.880 Audion offers FDA compliant hearing aids for as low as 98 bucks.

00:24:28.940 No prescription needed, no doctor visit needed, available to over 10,000 retailers nationwide,

00:24:34.220 including Walmart, Walgreens.

00:24:36.160 Over 1.5 million Americans already use the product from Audion.

00:24:39.760 It has changed their lives.

00:24:40.840 No more squinting and struggling to hear as you hear stories from people you love.

00:24:44.900 In a crowded room, you can't hear anything.

00:24:46.960 Hard to eat at restaurants.

00:25:47.160 Thanksgiving is upon us.

00:25:51.940 Great news for taste buds.

00:25:54.120 Bad news in, you tend to get kind of fat around the holidays.

00:25:58.000 Not that I would know.

00:25:59.640 So you're going to have all kinds of food right in front of you.

00:26:02.600 And most of it's going to be tempting.

00:26:04.220 You're going to be snacking all day long and you probably will be.

00:26:07.340 So why not eat something that's not terrible for you?

00:26:11.800 A chip.

00:26:12.700 Yes.

00:26:13.860 Masa chips.

00:26:15.480 Unlike your typical bag of chips, which are nothing more than chemical cocktails,

00:26:19.680 Masa is made with just three ingredients.

00:26:21.840 Organic corn, sea salt, and 100% grass-fed beef tallow.

00:26:26.800 That's it.

00:26:28.100 Nothing weird.

00:26:29.200 No seed oils.

00:26:29.780 Nothing you can't pronounce.

00:26:30.540 Just actual food.

00:26:32.760 So you're probably thinking to yourself,

00:26:33.500 but a snack that healthy probably tastes like garbage.

00:26:37.240 Actually, no.

00:26:38.360 Somehow.

00:26:39.020 With three ingredients, they made Masa chips legit delicious.

00:26:42.860 The lime flavor, which my producer is literally eating right now, is amazing.

00:26:48.240 Plus there's Vandy crisps, the most delicious three-ingredient potato chips you've ever had.

00:26:51.680 You can't go wrong with either one.

00:26:53.460 To give these a try, Masa or Vandy, use the code TUCKER for 25% off your first order at

00:26:58.880 masachips.com or vandychips.com.

00:27:07.460 If you don't feel like dealing with the online stuff, both Masa and Vandy are available nationwide

00:27:11.820 at your local Sprouts supermarket.

00:27:13.980 Pick up a bag.

00:27:14.800 Before they're gone, they will be.

00:27:16.820 I mean, why is it missing?

00:27:18.640 Yes.

00:27:19.120 Like, how did we get?

00:27:20.080 That wasn't always true.

00:27:21.080 Probably because Christians in America, especially, have not experienced actual persecution ever.

00:27:30.000 Not actual persecution.

00:27:31.600 Not like what they go through in North Korea, Syria, China, Uganda, all these other places

00:27:36.420 where they literally get cut into bits in the streets and they kill their families and burn

00:27:41.240 their houses down and we all know what happens.

00:27:43.760 They're Christians too.

00:27:45.580 All right?

00:27:46.120 Yeah.

00:27:46.620 Right.

00:27:46.960 Well, we haven't gone through anything like that in America.

00:27:49.640 And I think Christians have been, I think the Joel Osteens of the world have created in

00:27:57.460 their ministries this lukewarm, pablum baby food that they serve up to their congregations

00:28:05.400 week in and week out.

00:28:06.920 They grow up eating baby food.

00:28:09.080 They have no muscle.

00:28:10.160 They have no backbone.

00:28:11.380 They have no constitution.

00:28:14.820 They have no fight in them whatsoever.

00:28:16.960 None.

00:28:19.140 Because they don't understand the Bible well enough and have, and have digested it and

00:28:23.980 given themselves over to it because their preacher never talks about it.

00:28:29.020 He won't bring it up.

00:28:30.500 And why not?

00:28:31.520 Because it's uncomfortable to hear those things.

00:28:34.200 Christians don't want to hear that they will be persecuted at some point if they do it correctly.

00:28:39.660 Jesus said, basically, they, if they hate you, just remember they hated me first.

00:28:45.060 I mean, they crucified me.

00:28:48.340 What are they going to do to you?

00:28:50.080 Get ready.

00:28:50.800 If you're the real McCoy, get ready.

00:28:53.360 And Christians don't want to hear that.

00:28:55.220 That doesn't keep the church full.

00:28:56.620 That doesn't keep the offering plates full.

00:28:58.780 That doesn't keep the donations and the estate plans that go to these churches.

00:29:02.460 That doesn't keep that going.

00:29:03.900 They want the easy message because it allows them in their mind a way to not have to engage

00:29:10.340 the devil and his people and his armies.

00:29:13.840 And so what you have is a whole rack of weak Christians that are constantly being attacked

00:29:21.480 by a totally dedicated force of wickedness.

00:29:25.140 Totally dedicated.

00:29:26.900 What do you mean dedicated?

00:29:28.080 I mean, they pray to their daddy for real.

00:29:32.440 I mean, they are dedicated.

00:29:33.700 They dedicate their lives to him and they do what he says.

00:29:37.440 And they look for ways to serve him.

00:29:38.880 What signs do you see of that?

00:29:41.000 Well, watch what's going on in the world.

00:29:42.620 Does it seem like sane people would do a lot of the stuff that we see going on these days?

00:29:47.500 No.

00:29:47.780 No, right.

00:29:48.360 So they are being controlled and carrying out the will of their father, the father of lies.

00:29:53.580 And we're supposed to carry out the will of our father who created their father.

00:29:58.100 And that's not even a fair fight.

00:30:00.140 So the Christians are standing on the side of an insurmountable, undefeatable God, the Lord,

00:30:07.540 who could wipe out the universe with a blink.

00:30:12.180 That's who we serve.

00:30:13.340 Yet, we stand out here and run and hide and go, please don't come to my house.

00:30:20.380 Please don't attack me, Mr. Bad Guy, Mr. Wicked Man, Mr. You Belong to the Devil.

00:30:25.640 Oh, no, no.

00:30:26.140 I don't want to hear it.

00:30:27.140 I don't want to see it.

00:30:28.620 And because of that attitude, our country is completely compromised at this point because of weak Christians.

00:30:38.240 What are the signs that someone is dedicated to dark forces?

00:30:45.560 Not just mistaken, misguided.

00:30:48.860 Like, who is actually an agent of evil?

00:30:51.700 How do you know that?

00:30:52.600 That their every thought and action is completely counter to what God created them to be.

00:31:01.780 Completely counter.

00:31:03.720 That they are—

00:31:04.760 So they're at war with God's creation, with nature.

00:31:06.280 That's correct.

00:31:06.740 Why do you think they come after kids?

00:31:09.280 I mean, in the New Testament, it says that children have angels that report back to God on behalf of the kids.

00:31:21.260 Like, they have their own protection.

00:31:24.440 And probably the most hardcore thing Jesus ever said was,

00:31:29.160 you'd be better off to have a millstone tied around your neck and cast into the sea

00:31:33.140 than to ever cause one of these little ones to stumble.

00:31:36.740 Not to rape them, not to murder them, not to traffic them, not to slap them around, to cause them to stumble.

00:31:44.820 Meaning, to mess with them at all.

00:31:47.800 To mess with their innocence in any way, shape, or form.

00:31:51.340 You'd be better off dead than for that to happen.

00:31:55.240 The Son of God said that.

00:31:56.880 The guy who we follow, the guy who we're supposed to emulate and try to live up to his example.

00:32:03.920 Yeah, that was part of what he said.

00:32:06.640 A lot of Christians are also under this just total fabrication.

00:32:14.420 God loves everybody.

00:32:15.340 I've heard that so many times.

00:32:18.800 Well, God loves everybody.

00:32:20.860 It does not say that anywhere in the Bible that God loves everybody.

00:32:25.380 Matter of fact, when you go to Proverbs 6, it says,

00:32:30.960 These things doth the Lord, all caps, hate.

00:32:34.800 Use the word hate.

00:32:35.600 And the first thing it lists is,

00:32:38.680 Those whose feet are swift to shed innocent blood.

00:32:43.120 He hates them.

00:32:45.240 And then you've got the issue of,

00:32:47.400 Well, but the Bible says we're supposed to pray for our enemies.

00:32:50.140 And it does say that.

00:32:51.420 Oh, yeah.

00:32:51.980 It says pray for your enemies, not pray for God's enemies.

00:32:55.680 Two different enemies.

00:32:57.960 Don't pray for pedophiles, for instance.

00:33:01.800 Those are God's enemies.

00:33:02.960 Their feet are swift to shed innocent blood.

00:33:06.420 He's who they were talking,

00:33:07.640 who we talked about in the New Testament.

00:33:09.200 You don't pray for those people.

00:33:10.620 You go to war against those people.

00:33:13.260 You come straight at them.

00:33:15.180 You do what Jesus would do to them.

00:33:19.660 You see the difference?

00:33:21.700 This is not preached in churches.

00:33:23.640 Maybe there's a few that preachers actually talk like this.

00:33:27.840 But Americans want a Jesus made in their image,

00:33:32.080 not actually who he actually was.

00:33:34.420 Because who he actually was and is and what he told us to do

00:33:38.780 are very difficult things that put you in compromised positions

00:33:42.340 every single day if you do what he actually told you to do.

00:33:46.900 And most people are not willing to do that.

00:33:48.900 Because it's just counter to what the world demands.

00:33:51.780 Yeah.

00:33:52.420 I mean, they're going to get attacked.

00:33:53.500 They're going to get persecuted.

00:33:54.640 They're going to do all kinds of things.

00:33:56.200 It's going to happen.

00:33:57.160 Why the...

00:33:59.500 You said people who destroy innocence?

00:34:02.640 People whose feet are swift to shed innocent blood

00:34:07.020 doth the Lord hate.

00:34:10.700 Why the impulse to shed innocent blood?

00:34:14.140 Like, what is that?

00:34:14.900 I think that the wicked people of this earth

00:34:21.600 believe that they can inflict the most pain

00:34:25.560 on the father and the son

00:34:28.820 by hurting the thing that they love the most,

00:34:33.320 which is the innocent child.

00:34:35.120 Yes.

00:34:36.260 And so, in their minds,

00:34:38.740 that's how we hurt him the most.

00:34:40.680 That's how we get the most tears out of his face.

00:34:43.100 That's how we get him to weep.

00:34:45.860 That's how we torture him

00:34:47.420 and bring anguish to God

00:34:49.300 is by hurting the kids.

00:34:52.140 Because we know that's who he loves the most

00:34:54.460 because we know what he said about it.

00:34:56.140 He said we'd be better off dead than to do that.

00:34:59.100 That's how we felt about it.

00:35:00.380 So that's who we're going to go after.

00:35:03.580 I mean, how...

00:35:05.100 How demented is that?

00:35:11.500 How purposefully wicked is that tactic?

00:35:17.300 Think about that.

00:35:18.700 Yeah.

00:35:18.960 I mean, the explanation that we get

00:35:20.860 is that it's like some kind of clinical disorder.

00:35:23.280 Most people are not, you know,

00:35:24.280 have no desire to do that.

00:35:25.540 The average person has no desire to hurt a child,

00:35:28.600 be sexual in any way.

00:35:30.120 But demons do.

00:35:31.640 Well, that's it.

00:35:32.360 But then we're told,

00:35:33.140 well, the psychological explanation,

00:35:35.560 well, it really isn't one,

00:35:36.300 but they're like disordered.

00:35:37.880 But you're saying it's a kind of ritual.

00:35:39.420 I'm saying that they're possessed by...

00:35:42.720 They're possessed by spirits

00:35:45.300 that have waged war against God since day one

00:35:48.460 and that the way that they can cause him the most pain

00:35:51.780 is by inhabiting human beings

00:35:55.020 and twisting them into such a knot

00:35:57.720 that they are that much of a degenerate now,

00:36:00.660 that much of a reprobate now,

00:36:02.340 that they will carry out that mission.

00:36:05.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:36:06.120 Just like on the other side,

00:36:08.280 when you see a real Christian

00:36:09.420 come straight at you with something,

00:36:11.680 like Charlie Kirk, for instance.

00:36:14.680 Okay, that's not normal either.

00:36:17.160 That's outside the capacity of a human being

00:36:19.760 to do what he was doing.

00:36:22.420 Nobody's built for that.

00:36:24.660 That requires being possessed.

00:36:26.360 Christians are possessed by the Holy Spirit.

00:36:29.700 We are possessed by that.

00:36:31.940 And so if you're possessed by that,

00:36:34.840 it's no longer Tucker making a move

00:36:37.240 or John Rich making a move or whatever.

00:36:39.280 When you really walk in on something

00:36:41.260 and you claim the Holy Spirit

00:36:42.720 and you claim what you're promised,

00:36:46.420 the armor of God, for instance,

00:36:48.820 which there's only one offensive weapon

00:36:50.680 in the armor of God.

00:36:52.080 Everything is defensive.

00:36:53.940 Oh, by the way, nothing guards your back.

00:36:56.020 There's nothing in the armor of God

00:36:58.340 that goes on the back.

00:36:59.720 It's all in the front.

00:37:01.640 It's the helmet.

00:37:02.560 It's the shield.

00:37:03.820 It's the girding of the legs.

00:37:05.860 It's the shoes.

00:37:07.220 It's all that.

00:37:08.000 But the offensive weapon is the sword.

00:37:10.740 And it says that the sword is the word of God.

00:37:14.460 That's the word.

00:37:15.100 That's the scripture.

00:37:16.780 And that it's sharper than any two-edged sword

00:37:18.720 dividing even between the spirit and the soul

00:37:21.500 and the joints and the bones.

00:37:24.000 And that it divides.

00:37:26.020 And that's another misconception

00:37:27.240 that a lot of Christians have

00:37:28.700 is that Jesus wants everybody to get along.

00:37:31.580 He did not say that.

00:37:33.260 Jesus said, I came not to bring peace,

00:37:36.640 but to bring a sword,

00:37:38.020 to divide mother against father,

00:37:40.160 father against son, brother against brother.

00:37:42.580 Because when the truth really drops,

00:37:45.160 there is no middle anymore.

00:37:47.040 It's a clean cut and it's this and that,

00:37:49.320 and that is it.

00:37:50.500 That is it.

00:37:51.200 But this is all in there,

00:37:54.720 but Christians just can't seem

00:37:57.660 to get their head wrapped around it to a large degree.

00:38:00.220 And I believe that stems from the churches in general

00:38:03.900 just refuse to go there.

00:38:06.020 And so if you're a Christian watching this interview

00:38:08.580 and you're starting to get keyed up

00:38:11.100 about what I'm saying,

00:38:12.040 good, I'm glad you're getting keyed up.

00:38:13.640 Why don't you pick up the Bible

00:38:14.900 and read exactly what it says

00:38:16.460 without your preacher,

00:38:17.760 without your Bible group,

00:38:18.860 without anybody and just read what it says.

00:38:21.420 That's good advice right there.

00:38:22.560 Just read it.

00:38:22.940 That's good advice.

00:38:24.040 Yes.

00:38:24.280 Have it speak to you directly

00:38:25.700 and just see what it says.

00:38:26.880 Read what it says and go, wow, okay.

00:38:29.600 Read the examples that are laid out

00:38:31.380 by the people God thought the most of.

00:38:34.120 Go read about Stephen,

00:38:35.700 who was stoned to death in the New Testament

00:38:38.200 as Paul, who was then Saul,

00:38:40.440 is holding the coats of the men

00:38:41.800 who were stoning Stephen to death.

00:38:45.460 And not long after that,

00:38:46.840 Paul had his Road to Damascus event

00:38:48.880 and then he went on

00:38:49.500 and all these churches popped up

00:38:51.040 and he wrote half the New Testament.

00:38:53.740 Nobody wants to get stoned to death.

00:38:56.320 Nobody wants to get shot in the throat

00:38:57.740 with a 30-odd six.

00:38:59.700 Do they?

00:39:00.660 No, we do not want that as human beings.

00:39:02.620 We do not want that.

00:39:05.340 But it tells us to go forward,

00:39:07.840 not backward, forward.

00:39:09.840 We don't retreat from the devil.

00:39:11.600 He is so weak

00:39:12.480 and his people are so weak

00:39:14.520 in the face of who God really is

00:39:17.060 and who God's real people are.

00:39:18.880 He has no chance at all to succeed.

00:39:23.600 The only way he succeeds

00:39:24.640 is that those people won't engage.

00:39:27.680 It's a one-way fight.

00:39:29.960 And I'm just not going to be a part of that.

00:39:32.200 Christmas season is here.

00:39:33.420 Although it's a bit of a cliche,

00:39:34.680 it really is important to keep Christ in Christmas.

00:39:37.540 Should we focus on cookies and presents

00:39:39.680 or on the reason we're doing this,

00:39:42.000 which is Jesus?

00:39:43.540 Obviously, the point is Jesus.

00:39:45.640 That's the whole point.

00:39:46.720 That's the only point.

00:39:48.160 And all the decency and good cheer

00:39:49.860 of this holiday comes from Jesus.

00:39:52.960 The Hallow Apps Pray 25 Challenge

00:41:36.240 or maybe couldn't.

00:41:37.640 Heirlooms from your parents,

00:41:51.500 I would know.

00:41:52.320 I have a colonial safe

00:41:54.740 It's in my garage.

00:41:55.580 It's the best.

00:41:56.200 I keep everything in there.

00:41:57.220 It's a ProFlex system.

00:42:02.760 It's not a fixed setup.

00:42:05.080 Someone else puts the shelves

00:42:40.480 I will say.

00:42:41.140 Christmas.

00:42:42.580 In the New Testament,

00:42:44.020 I think all the disciples

00:42:45.120 are certainly the majority

00:42:46.300 or the ones whose fates

00:42:47.780 we know,

00:42:48.920 none of them wound up

00:42:49.900 on Corfu in retirement.

00:42:52.020 No.

00:42:52.820 They all got killed.

00:42:53.560 They all got killed

00:42:54.320 or exiled

00:42:55.080 or imprisoned for life.

00:42:56.360 Yeah.

00:42:56.580 So what does that tell us?

00:42:59.480 I mean,

00:42:59.700 you just said

00:43:00.080 that God always wins,

00:43:01.000 but it sounds like

00:43:01.660 his arms and legs,

00:43:05.680 the people

00:43:06.260 who are representing him.

00:43:07.980 Well,

00:43:08.340 what God considers a win

00:43:09.580 and what we consider a win

00:43:10.760 might be two different things.

00:43:14.460 Right?

00:43:15.260 Yeah.

00:43:15.500 What God considers a win

00:43:16.720 is that people convert

00:43:18.020 and repent

00:43:19.420 and give their lives to him.

00:43:20.980 That's a win.

00:43:21.660 That's the real win.

00:43:22.780 That's the win.

00:43:24.420 That's the biggest win.

00:43:25.440 It says

00:43:26.760 the Lord wishes

00:43:28.880 that no one go to hell.

00:43:30.540 No one.

00:43:31.840 He doesn't want anybody

00:43:33.120 to be separated from him.

00:43:34.440 It's his creation.

00:43:36.500 He wishes that no one

00:43:37.980 has that fate,

00:43:39.220 but he gives you free will.

00:43:41.980 You're not a robot.

00:43:43.580 You can pick whichever side

00:43:45.880 you want to go.

00:43:46.500 You can follow the route

00:43:47.260 you're going to follow

00:43:47.940 and you're going to wind up

00:43:49.740 in eternity

00:43:50.280 with whoever it is

00:43:51.360 you followed.

00:43:52.480 It's as simple as that.

00:43:53.580 You're going to live

00:43:54.660 in your daddy's house,

00:43:55.700 whoever that is.

00:43:58.020 Where do you think

00:43:58.680 the country's going?

00:44:02.320 Well, there are

00:44:03.320 some positive signs.

00:44:06.260 For instance,

00:44:07.060 my two sons,

00:44:07.900 they're 14 and almost 16

00:44:10.100 and there is a resurgence

00:44:14.340 of interest

00:44:17.880 and true passion

00:44:19.520 about learning who God is.

00:44:23.260 What does God want me

00:44:24.660 to do with my life?

00:44:25.960 Reading their Bibles,

00:44:27.200 having their own Bible studies.

00:44:29.180 I mean,

00:44:29.480 teenagers having their own

00:44:30.720 Bible studies.

00:44:31.980 That's happening

00:44:32.920 all over the U.S. right now.

00:44:35.720 I mean,

00:44:36.420 that's a big deal.

00:44:37.600 That's a big deal

00:44:40.060 and they are very wise

00:44:42.260 for their age

00:44:42.940 because they have been

00:44:43.940 through so many lies

00:44:45.900 and seen the lies debunked

00:44:47.400 and realized,

00:44:48.760 oh,

00:44:49.620 they're not telling me

00:44:50.420 the truth on television.

00:44:51.880 No, they're not.

00:44:52.300 Oh, that politician,

00:44:53.380 that was not true.

00:44:54.960 Oh,

00:44:55.660 they took two years away

00:44:57.440 from us in school

00:44:58.260 and made us all wear masks

00:44:59.480 and told our parents

00:45:00.720 that they didn't get vaccines,

00:45:02.340 that they would lose their jobs.

00:45:03.980 And so my parents

00:45:04.700 took the vaccine

00:45:05.480 and now one of them

00:45:06.140 has got myocarditis

00:45:06.600 and the other one

00:45:07.700 can't breathe

00:45:08.340 or my parents

00:45:10.360 didn't take the vaccine

00:45:11.360 and they both lost their jobs.

00:45:12.680 Like they watched

00:45:13.520 the U.S. government

00:45:14.480 brutalize their families

00:45:16.560 and them.

00:45:18.320 They watched it.

00:45:19.260 They lived through it

00:45:20.000 and it imprinted on them

00:45:21.540 in a major way

00:45:22.440 and so now

00:45:22.880 they're coming out of that

00:45:23.900 and they're starting

00:45:24.740 to get older

00:45:25.240 and they're going to be

00:45:25.800 moving out of the house

00:45:26.600 this generation

00:45:27.280 I'm talking about

00:45:28.120 and they want to know

00:45:30.020 what the real truth is.

00:45:31.900 They know they've been lied to

00:45:33.200 for pretty much

00:45:34.980 their whole lives

00:45:35.720 and they're sick of it

00:45:37.140 and they want to know

00:45:37.860 what the truth is

00:45:38.680 and thank goodness

00:45:39.720 they're realizing

00:45:40.420 the only infallible truth

00:45:42.480 is in the pages

00:45:43.580 of the Bible.

00:45:44.380 That's it.

00:45:45.160 Not what the preacher says,

00:45:46.400 not what I say

00:45:47.320 or you say

00:45:47.960 or the president says,

00:45:49.020 uh-uh.

00:45:49.900 What's in this book?

00:45:51.620 That is my life plan.

00:45:53.060 This is my blueprint.

00:45:54.640 They really do feel

00:45:55.760 that way about it

00:45:56.660 and that's a very

00:45:58.120 encouraging thing to me.

00:45:59.100 I think a lot of people

00:45:59.940 have a gut level sense

00:46:01.580 that trouble's coming.

00:46:04.060 A hundred percent.

00:46:05.160 It's going to have to.

00:46:08.200 Trouble has to come.

00:46:09.500 Why?

00:46:11.340 Because

00:46:11.740 if you look back

00:46:14.920 over the history

00:46:15.580 of the written word

00:46:16.440 of God,

00:46:17.380 let's call it

00:46:18.080 what's the Lord's M.O.?

00:46:20.260 What's His modus operandi?

00:46:21.800 How has He done it

00:46:22.640 in the past?

00:46:24.280 That's really important

00:46:25.100 to know

00:46:25.580 because He says,

00:46:27.060 I am the same yesterday,

00:46:28.600 today,

00:46:29.080 and forever.

00:46:29.820 My word does not change.

00:46:31.360 He does not change.

00:46:32.460 We change.

00:46:33.240 Culture changes.

00:46:34.220 He does not.

00:46:36.040 So,

00:46:36.480 if you look at,

00:46:37.680 for instance,

00:46:38.980 this stat.

00:46:41.440 So,

00:46:42.000 I started working

00:46:43.340 with

00:46:44.560 DHS

00:46:45.980 with their

00:46:47.260 cyber predator

00:46:49.080 sting units.

00:46:50.520 Oof.

00:46:52.420 Okay?

00:46:52.740 Because I saw

00:46:53.980 a little presentation

00:46:55.720 was done

00:46:56.580 with my wife

00:46:57.400 and my older son

00:46:58.340 with like 30 boys

00:46:59.900 and a DHS agent

00:47:01.020 came in

00:47:01.620 and he's telling

00:47:02.760 these boys

00:47:03.500 how these predators

00:47:05.960 can get them

00:47:06.820 on their phones,

00:47:07.920 like how they can track them,

00:47:09.300 how they talk to them,

00:47:10.360 how they present themselves

00:47:12.360 as a,

00:47:12.960 I'm a 15-year-old girl.

00:47:14.620 I'm a cheerleader.

00:47:15.420 I go to school

00:47:15.980 right down the road

00:47:16.640 from you

00:47:17.040 and here's a picture

00:47:18.060 of this pretty girl.

00:47:19.860 Here,

00:47:20.020 I'll send you a picture

00:47:20.740 of me in a bikini.

00:47:21.580 You send me a picture,

00:47:22.580 blah, blah, blah,

00:47:23.080 and they start

00:47:23.600 this whole thing

00:47:24.440 and then once

00:47:25.780 they've got them,

00:47:26.720 then they say,

00:47:27.600 yeah,

00:47:27.720 I'm not a 14-year-old girl.

00:47:28.920 I'm a 55-year-old man

00:47:30.140 in Cleveland, Ohio

00:47:30.980 and here's,

00:47:31.560 here's your dad's name,

00:47:33.380 your mom's name,

00:47:34.280 here's all your siblings' names,

00:47:35.560 here's your home address,

00:47:36.540 here's where you go to school

00:47:37.420 and if you don't do X, Y, Z,

00:47:39.580 I'm gonna show up there tomorrow

00:47:40.940 and kill everybody

00:47:42.200 in your family.

00:47:44.480 Or show them the pictures.

00:47:46.180 Yeah.

00:47:48.160 Yes.

00:47:49.180 And then the kid

00:47:50.040 is in this position

00:47:50.860 of what do I do,

00:47:51.600 what do I do?

00:47:53.080 And then sometimes

00:47:53.820 they'll go

00:47:54.380 and they're told

00:47:54.980 to meet this guy

00:47:55.760 at a park

00:47:56.300 or meet him at a store

00:47:57.400 or at a gas station

00:47:58.200 or whatever

00:47:58.460 and you never see him again.

00:47:59.880 So,

00:48:00.320 my wife and son

00:48:02.360 saw this

00:48:03.080 one hour little seminar

00:48:04.920 from this guy

00:48:05.600 and came home

00:48:06.580 and my son pulls his phone out

00:48:08.020 and starts changing

00:48:09.040 the settings on his phone,

00:48:11.820 deleting apps,

00:48:12.740 certain apps

00:48:13.260 that he had to be gone,

00:48:14.160 that one's gone,

00:48:14.940 nah,

00:48:15.160 that one's gone

00:48:15.800 because this guy's telling him,

00:48:16.900 get this stuff off your phones.

00:48:19.940 So,

00:48:20.220 I'm like,

00:48:20.680 what in the world

00:48:21.160 did this guy say?

00:48:22.700 And so,

00:48:23.080 my wife starts telling me

00:48:24.100 what all he said

00:48:24.740 and I said,

00:48:25.300 my God,

00:48:25.840 that needs to be heard

00:48:26.620 by every parent in America.

00:48:28.400 I said,

00:48:28.940 what was the agent's name?

00:48:30.060 And she actually had

00:48:30.700 a business card on this guy.

00:48:32.840 And so,

00:48:33.620 I emailed him

00:48:34.660 and I said,

00:48:36.800 hey agent so-and-so,

00:48:38.880 this is John Rich,

00:48:39.820 you just had this seminar

00:48:40.700 with my wife and son

00:48:41.800 and that message

00:48:42.860 needs to be heard

00:48:44.140 by every parent in America,

00:48:45.460 how can we make that happen?

00:48:46.560 And he goes,

00:48:47.300 hey John,

00:48:47.740 nice to meet you,

00:48:48.320 that's above my pay grade.

00:48:49.440 I said,

00:48:49.680 well send me up to somebody

00:48:50.680 that it ain't above their pay grade.

00:48:53.360 So,

00:48:53.580 he goes,

00:48:53.780 okay.

00:48:54.120 So,

00:48:54.320 he sends me to their regional director,

00:48:56.000 a guy named Dennis Fetting,

00:48:57.160 Agent Fetting.

00:48:59.280 And I told him,

00:49:01.040 I said,

00:49:01.500 you guys are doing

00:49:02.260 a horrible job

00:49:03.380 marketing this message.

00:49:04.720 I'm glad that you go

00:49:05.960 to the school.

00:49:07.020 I'm glad that you'll go

00:49:07.860 to the church.

00:49:08.460 I'm glad that you'll go

00:49:09.180 to the youth group.

00:49:10.540 That is admirable and great,

00:49:12.340 but you're throwing a snowball

00:49:13.780 at a brick wall.

00:49:15.600 I said,

00:49:16.280 why don't you work with me

00:49:18.120 and let's put you on live stream,

00:49:20.540 live on X

00:49:21.460 and promote it

00:49:22.240 for two or three weeks

00:49:23.140 and do the exact same thing

00:49:24.680 you just did there,

00:49:25.640 but let's do it

00:49:26.460 in front of millions of people.

00:49:27.380 Great idea.

00:49:28.380 That's what he said.

00:49:29.380 He goes,

00:49:29.920 we never thought of that.

00:49:31.520 Well,

00:49:31.700 of course not.

00:49:32.080 They're not marketers.

00:49:33.120 Right.

00:49:33.400 I mean,

00:49:33.560 that's what I do.

00:49:34.200 So we shook hands,

00:49:36.920 civilian and federal government,

00:49:39.220 shook hands,

00:49:40.500 got all the way up

00:49:41.780 to Secretary Noem

00:49:42.860 and she said,

00:49:43.860 do it.

00:49:44.860 Great.

00:49:45.480 Green light.

00:49:46.420 So we did that sit down

00:49:47.980 and to date,

00:49:48.800 it's somewhere around

00:49:49.560 nine million views

00:49:51.000 has been seen now

00:49:52.120 for parents

00:49:53.060 and I get it all the time.

00:49:54.220 Parents hitting me up going,

00:49:55.540 we changed everything

00:49:56.860 on our kids' phones

00:49:57.720 after we saw that.

00:49:59.180 We made their accounts private.

00:50:00.900 We got rid of these apps.

00:50:02.020 We got rid of blah, blah, blah

00:50:03.040 because you would literally

00:50:05.560 do anything as a parent

00:50:06.880 to keep a bad guy,

00:50:08.440 a predator,

00:50:09.260 from coming into your house

00:50:10.940 at night

00:50:11.340 and stealing your kid

00:50:12.500 out of their bedroom.

00:50:13.880 Wouldn't you, Tucker?

00:50:14.640 Yes, I would.

00:50:15.100 You'd rip their throat out

00:50:16.240 with your bare teeth

00:50:17.100 if that's all you had.

00:50:18.080 Sleep for eight hours.

00:50:19.060 They would die.

00:50:19.460 Yep.

00:50:20.180 They would die.

00:50:22.700 They just would.

00:50:24.840 But,

00:50:25.820 they're getting to your kids

00:50:27.520 as you're sitting there

00:50:28.640 watching the news

00:50:29.380 or football

00:50:30.020 and your kid's back there

00:50:31.080 on their iPhone

00:50:31.780 on some app

00:50:32.940 talking to somebody

00:50:33.720 they think is one person

00:50:34.880 but it's somebody else

00:50:35.920 and they're getting them

00:50:37.220 right there inside your house

00:50:38.520 and you don't even know it.

00:50:41.040 You're derelict

00:50:41.880 on your duty as the parent

00:50:43.200 because you're just ignorant

00:50:45.020 of the fact

00:50:45.580 that this is what's going on.

00:50:47.300 So,

00:50:48.400 that started me down a road

00:50:49.920 of significance

00:50:51.280 in that sector

00:50:52.640 of educating parents

00:50:56.420 and blowing the whistle

00:50:57.840 on what the bad guys do.

00:51:00.020 The DHS told me

00:51:01.920 that last year

00:51:03.200 there were 36 million

00:51:06.240 reports

00:51:07.620 that came into them

00:51:09.420 on kids

00:51:10.460 that had been

00:51:11.160 targeted online.

00:51:12.980 36 million

00:51:14.060 in one year.

00:51:15.560 So,

00:51:15.880 averaging 3 million

00:51:17.280 a month.

00:51:18.360 In the United States.

00:51:19.200 In the United States.

00:51:20.920 That's like every child.

00:51:22.520 3 million a month.

00:51:24.460 And they said,

00:51:25.580 we don't have,

00:51:26.100 there's no way

00:51:27.780 we can combat that.

00:51:29.900 We go get as many

00:51:30.780 of them as we can.

00:51:32.200 But I mean,

00:51:32.620 it's literally,

00:51:34.100 that's how big

00:51:34.960 the problem is.

00:51:36.000 So,

00:51:36.280 back to your question,

00:51:37.600 why,

00:51:39.000 why does trouble

00:51:40.040 have to come

00:51:40.540 to this country?

00:51:42.200 Because God

00:51:43.020 is not going to put up

00:51:43.760 with that.

00:51:45.320 And,

00:51:46.000 he doesn't bring trouble

00:51:47.300 on a country

00:51:48.420 because the devil's people

00:51:50.200 are being devilish.

00:51:52.440 He brings trouble

00:51:53.280 on a country

00:51:53.980 because his people

00:51:55.500 refuse to engage.

00:51:59.620 Second Chronicle says,

00:52:01.580 if my people

00:52:02.460 who are called

00:52:03.460 by my name

00:52:04.500 will humble themselves

00:52:06.680 and turn from

00:52:07.720 their wicked ways,

00:52:09.660 I will come

00:52:10.500 and heal their land.

00:52:11.560 He didn't say

00:52:12.140 if the devil's people.

00:52:13.580 Right.

00:52:14.180 He said,

00:52:14.640 if my people.

00:52:16.420 There's not a lot

00:52:17.280 of emphasis on that.

00:52:18.300 There's a lot

00:52:18.720 of emphasis

00:52:19.200 on what other people

00:52:21.260 are doing wrong.

00:52:23.580 Emphasis on the bad people,

00:52:25.040 on the existence of evil.

00:52:26.400 I've certainly spent

00:52:27.000 a lot of time

00:52:27.420 thinking and talking

00:52:28.080 about that.

00:52:29.300 But,

00:52:29.600 very little conversation

00:52:30.960 about how we're

00:52:32.000 part of the problem.

00:52:33.900 Christians don't want

00:52:34.640 to hear that.

00:52:36.180 You think they'd come

00:52:36.880 back to church

00:52:37.400 next Sunday

00:52:38.000 if you impugned

00:52:39.680 the entire congregation

00:52:40.960 including yourself?

00:52:42.080 I do.

00:52:42.840 You think they'd come back?

00:52:43.900 Yeah,

00:52:44.280 I mean,

00:52:44.540 that's the biblical message,

00:52:47.240 right?

00:52:47.540 Isn't that what

00:52:48.000 John the Baptist said

00:52:48.880 as he wandered

00:52:50.060 around the desert

00:52:50.720 to repent?

00:52:52.300 And Jesus to repent?

00:52:53.800 Yes.

00:52:54.500 And it worked.

00:52:56.640 Maybe the churches

00:52:57.500 will turn back to that.

00:52:59.720 But if they don't,

00:53:01.680 he is going to,

00:53:03.160 if we won't

00:53:03.840 humble ourselves,

00:53:04.840 then he is going

00:53:05.600 to humble us.

00:53:07.020 He will do it.

00:53:08.460 For our own good.

00:53:09.680 How does that work?

00:53:11.780 Go ask Moses

00:53:13.180 how it worked out

00:53:14.060 for him

00:53:14.520 when he got humbled.

00:53:15.920 I mean,

00:53:16.200 ask David

00:53:16.980 how it worked out

00:53:17.700 when he got humbled.

00:53:19.300 King David

00:53:19.760 went out there

00:53:20.380 and,

00:53:21.560 yeah,

00:53:21.740 he killed Goliath.

00:53:22.580 Man,

00:53:22.780 that was awesome.

00:53:24.140 He was doing good.

00:53:25.540 And then he becomes king

00:53:26.860 and he sees this gorgeous woman

00:53:28.860 taking a bath

00:53:29.640 on her rooftop

00:53:30.280 and he goes,

00:53:30.960 wow,

00:53:31.200 who's that?

00:53:32.480 They go,

00:53:32.840 oh,

00:53:33.000 that's Bathsheba.

00:53:35.900 He goes,

00:53:37.160 who's she married to?

00:53:39.100 She's married

00:53:39.680 to one of your,

00:53:40.280 one of your main generals

00:53:42.480 in the army,

00:53:43.240 Uriah.

00:53:44.200 He goes,

00:53:44.740 she's married to Uriah.

00:53:46.400 Yeah.

00:53:47.120 He goes,

00:53:47.760 tell you what,

00:53:48.880 when we take the Philistines

00:53:50.480 on here

00:53:51.000 in the next couple of weeks,

00:53:52.000 they had a battle coming up.

00:53:52.920 Put Uriah on the front line

00:53:54.380 so he'll die.

00:53:57.600 And then withdraw support

00:53:58.720 from him

00:53:59.120 so he's alone.

00:54:00.380 He got killed.

00:54:01.480 Yeah.

00:54:01.920 And then David

00:54:02.400 took his wife.

00:54:04.200 David took his wife

00:54:05.260 after he had him

00:54:06.040 basically murdered

00:54:06.880 and Bathsheba

00:54:09.300 got pregnant

00:54:10.000 and a prophet

00:54:11.020 came to David

00:54:12.380 and he said,

00:54:13.780 God knows

00:54:14.620 what you've done.

00:54:15.900 He knows

00:54:16.340 what you've done

00:54:16.860 and he sent me

00:54:17.580 to tell you

00:54:18.260 that that child

00:54:19.540 will not be born alive.

00:54:20.920 He's taking your child

00:54:21.880 from you.

00:54:23.360 That's your punishment.

00:54:26.420 And that,

00:54:26.920 and David

00:54:27.420 just went into

00:54:28.480 an absolute tailspin.

00:54:30.260 I mean,

00:54:30.620 it said,

00:54:31.460 covered himself

00:54:32.060 in sackcloth

00:54:32.840 and ashes,

00:54:33.560 ripped his beard out.

00:54:34.780 I mean,

00:54:35.040 he was just

00:54:35.740 writhing around

00:54:36.920 in the street

00:54:37.960 as the king

00:54:38.860 of Israel

00:54:39.340 at that point

00:54:40.120 because he realized

00:54:42.140 the

00:54:42.660 immense nature

00:54:45.680 of sin

00:54:46.960 that he had

00:54:47.500 committed.

00:54:48.000 His sin.

00:54:48.740 Yes.

00:54:49.760 Yes.

00:54:50.140 And God loved him.

00:54:51.880 David is the only man

00:54:53.300 in the Bible

00:54:53.720 that God says

00:54:54.400 is a man

00:54:54.860 after my own heart.

00:54:56.200 I mean,

00:54:56.440 the greatest compliment

00:54:57.140 you could get from God.

00:54:58.400 Yes.

00:54:59.320 But David still did that

00:55:00.880 and God brought him low.

00:55:03.100 He humbled him

00:55:03.820 in a major way.

00:55:06.620 And so if we look

00:55:07.360 at the history of God

00:55:08.400 and what his MO

00:55:09.420 has always been

00:55:10.380 when his people

00:55:11.280 refuse to do

00:55:13.160 what he's telling them

00:55:13.900 to do

00:55:14.340 and they stand back

00:55:15.720 and let the devil

00:55:16.420 just run right over them

00:55:17.740 over and over

00:55:18.340 and by doing so

00:55:20.220 allow tens of millions

00:55:22.060 of kids

00:55:22.900 to be harmed

00:55:24.560 or worse

00:55:25.360 because Christians,

00:55:27.700 God's people

00:55:28.520 refuse

00:55:29.320 to engage the situation,

00:55:31.500 you're damn right

00:55:32.140 he's going to humble us

00:55:33.100 and I can't wait.

00:55:35.260 You can't wait

00:55:36.040 for the country

00:55:37.100 to be humbled.

00:55:37.680 Bring it

00:55:38.120 because I don't want

00:55:40.060 to live in a country

00:55:40.840 that allows

00:55:41.400 that kind of thing

00:55:42.080 to happen.

00:55:43.180 I don't want to live

00:55:43.860 in a place like that.

00:55:45.160 That is

00:55:45.760 the most abhorrent

00:55:47.160 thing you can possibly imagine.

00:55:49.280 But there's a lot

00:55:49.880 of suffering

00:55:50.360 on the way

00:55:50.760 from here to humility.

00:55:52.680 A hundred percent.

00:55:53.680 Pain.

00:55:55.260 Pain is the greatest teacher.

00:55:56.780 Pain is,

00:55:57.980 I mean,

00:55:58.240 he made the Israelites

00:55:59.000 wander around

00:55:59.740 out in the wilderness

00:56:00.400 for 40 years.

00:56:01.400 Moses didn't even get

00:56:02.240 to go into the promised land

00:56:03.360 because he sinned

00:56:04.540 and that was his punishment.

00:56:06.000 You can go down the list.

00:56:07.160 All of them did something.

00:56:09.360 I mean,

00:56:09.540 they're just humans

00:56:10.200 but he gives you,

00:56:12.540 I've said this before,

00:56:14.220 if God really loves you,

00:56:15.640 he'll only slap your teeth out

00:56:17.140 instead of your brains

00:56:18.840 if he really cares about you.

00:56:22.060 You're a dad.

00:56:22.920 I'm a dad.

00:56:24.140 If our kids,

00:56:25.400 when they're little,

00:56:26.240 they're playing out

00:56:26.960 on the road

00:56:27.440 going to baseball

00:56:29.180 around or whatever

00:56:30.000 and you go out there

00:56:31.740 and they're like,

00:56:32.100 boys,

00:56:32.600 you can't be playing

00:56:33.380 in the street.

00:56:34.040 Come on back

00:56:34.540 in the yard.

00:56:35.620 Okay, dad.

00:56:36.940 And the very next day,

00:56:37.840 they're back out

00:56:38.360 in the street

00:56:38.800 throwing the baseball again.

00:56:39.940 Are you going to have

00:56:40.560 the same demeanor

00:56:41.660 at this time?

00:56:42.380 No.

00:56:42.620 No.

00:56:43.540 You're going to intensify

00:56:44.660 and you're going to go,

00:56:45.360 boys,

00:56:45.720 I told you

00:56:46.300 and you're going to grab

00:56:46.960 one of them by the shirt

00:56:47.740 and you're going to march

00:56:48.600 them back into the yard

00:56:49.520 and then the next week,

00:56:51.400 they're out in the street

00:56:52.220 throwing the baseball

00:56:53.260 around again

00:56:54.100 and cars are zipping by.

00:56:56.040 Now,

00:56:56.360 what are you going to do?

00:56:58.120 Now,

00:56:58.560 we're going to enter

00:56:59.060 the phase of pain.

00:57:00.360 The spanking zone.

00:57:01.600 Something's going to happen

00:57:02.600 that they're not going

00:57:05.100 to want it to happen again.

00:57:06.500 And why are you doing that?

00:57:08.440 You're doing that

00:57:09.400 so they don't get hit

00:57:10.480 by a car

00:57:11.080 and die.

00:57:13.140 You're doing it

00:57:14.040 to protect them

00:57:15.820 from themselves

00:57:16.900 because they're not listening

00:57:18.800 and they're not doing

00:57:19.800 what it is

00:57:20.240 you're telling them to do.

00:57:21.320 And it's not an ego trip

00:57:22.540 that you're punishing them.

00:57:23.700 It's for their own good.

00:57:25.740 You can tell the kid

00:57:26.580 his whole life,

00:57:27.240 don't put your hand

00:57:27.900 on that stove, son,

00:57:28.860 or it will burn your hand.

00:57:30.460 He will not believe you

00:57:31.660 until one day

00:57:32.340 he lays his hand

00:57:33.080 on that stove

00:57:33.640 and takes the skin

00:57:35.360 off his hand.

00:57:35.680 That is correct.

00:57:36.460 And he'll never touch it again.

00:57:38.840 Willie.

00:57:40.000 Or like a go-kart.

00:57:41.800 You know,

00:57:42.160 the exhaust on a go-kart

00:57:43.480 sitting out there.

00:57:44.240 Yeah.

00:57:44.560 Yeah,

00:57:44.820 and you tell your kids,

00:57:45.760 don't touch that.

00:57:47.140 That thing is blazing hot.

00:57:48.100 You can fry an egg on that.

00:57:50.440 My son,

00:57:52.160 he was about nine,

00:57:53.900 laid his hand down

00:57:54.780 on that.

00:57:55.300 And I had to go

00:57:55.880 to the hospital

00:57:56.560 and scrape all the skin off.

00:57:58.040 It was horrible.

00:57:59.200 He never did that again.

00:58:00.880 Right.

00:58:01.420 So,

00:58:01.900 that's what Christians,

00:58:04.220 I believe,

00:58:04.640 can expect in the future.

00:58:06.220 Have you experienced,

00:58:06.940 have you been humbled?

00:58:07.680 Oh, good grief.

00:58:09.320 Yes.

00:58:11.460 Tremendously.

00:58:12.460 Many times.

00:58:13.440 Because I'm a very stiff-necked,

00:58:16.280 I would say,

00:58:20.000 it's a battle for me

00:58:21.540 to sacrifice my self-confidence

00:58:23.820 and arrogance

00:58:24.520 and my alpha male attitude.

00:58:29.380 That is my biggest thing

00:58:30.960 is I've got to kill it

00:58:32.040 every single day.

00:58:33.180 Every day,

00:58:33.980 I got to just tie that up

00:58:35.560 in a knot

00:58:35.940 and throw it over my shoulder.

00:58:36.780 How do you do that?

00:58:37.460 By

00:58:39.560 realizing

00:58:42.740 who's watching you,

00:58:45.900 knowing he's looking at you

00:58:47.380 going,

00:58:48.060 ah,

00:58:48.080 ah,

00:58:48.340 ah,

00:58:48.520 ah,

00:58:48.920 ah,

00:58:49.120 you're going,

00:58:51.080 sorry,

00:58:52.520 sorry,

00:58:52.900 I shouldn't have said that,

00:58:53.900 shouldn't have had that thought,

00:58:55.020 shouldn't have got that mad,

00:58:56.200 shouldn't have done whatever.

00:58:57.180 You go,

00:58:57.860 I'm sorry

00:58:58.620 and then stop doing that.

00:59:01.400 He'll go,

00:59:01.980 thank you,

00:59:03.420 he's your dad.

00:59:05.800 He treats us

00:59:06.920 like kids

00:59:07.980 because we are.

00:59:09.420 The same way

00:59:10.020 you would discipline your kids

00:59:11.640 and care about your kids

00:59:12.720 and I do

00:59:13.580 is the same way

00:59:14.640 he feels about us

00:59:15.580 except he's just perfect

00:59:16.800 at it

00:59:17.620 whereas we're

00:59:18.240 totally imperfect with it

00:59:19.700 but the same emotion

00:59:20.880 and the same point of it

00:59:22.060 is there.

00:59:23.820 Whether it's Tucker Carlson

00:59:25.160 talking to your kids

00:59:26.260 or God's talking to Tucker Carlson,

00:59:28.040 it's the same relationship.

00:59:30.960 Isn't that an interesting thing

00:59:31.740 to think about?

00:59:32.180 It's interesting

00:59:32.700 and one of the things I,

00:59:34.080 I mean,

00:59:34.400 aside from the fact

00:59:34.920 the unhappiest people

00:59:36.060 in the world

00:59:36.400 I've ever met

00:59:37.140 hate their dads.

00:59:38.720 There's something about

00:59:39.380 that dynamic

00:59:40.120 that doesn't work

00:59:40.900 at all for people

00:59:42.360 but I noticed

00:59:43.320 that most people

00:59:44.200 in positions of

00:59:45.160 leadership,

00:59:46.420 temporal leadership

00:59:47.200 will never admit fault ever.

00:59:50.680 Ever.

00:59:51.460 That's the one thing

00:59:52.320 that sets them apart

00:59:53.140 whether they're competent

00:59:54.340 or incompetent,

00:59:55.380 they all fail at some point

00:59:56.520 and leaders

00:59:57.960 tend to deny it.

01:00:01.100 Yep.

01:00:02.180 They fail

01:00:03.460 to yield

01:00:04.800 to him,

01:00:07.500 number one,

01:00:08.500 but they even

01:00:09.440 fail to yield

01:00:10.600 to their fellow

01:00:11.740 citizens

01:00:13.800 to say,

01:00:15.500 I am sorry,

01:00:16.700 that was a huge mistake.

01:00:18.560 And why

01:00:19.000 do they fail

01:00:19.840 to do that?

01:00:20.680 Because they feel like

01:00:21.680 if I admit

01:00:22.560 that I really made

01:00:23.580 that horrible mistake,

01:00:24.620 they won't reelect me

01:00:25.780 or I'll lose

01:00:27.040 my job

01:00:27.560 at the big company

01:00:28.420 or whatever it is.

01:00:29.300 So that is more

01:00:30.480 important to them

01:00:31.540 than owning up

01:00:33.800 to whatever they did

01:00:35.640 that was wrong.

01:00:37.660 It's more important

01:00:38.680 to keep myself

01:00:39.540 intact.

01:00:40.140 Well,

01:00:40.260 what is that?

01:00:40.900 That's back

01:00:41.680 to success

01:00:42.340 and significance.

01:00:44.300 They're only

01:00:45.080 concerned about success,

01:00:46.480 their success.

01:00:47.560 That's it.

01:00:49.100 And I'm telling you

01:00:49.900 right now,

01:00:50.360 man,

01:00:50.620 he does not care

01:00:52.060 about your personal success.

01:00:53.380 He may give you

01:00:54.680 a lot of success,

01:00:55.960 but that's not the point.

01:01:00.620 And I really think

01:01:01.300 that he gives

01:01:01.860 guys like me success

01:01:03.700 and you success

01:01:04.620 and other people success

01:01:05.680 so that at some point,

01:01:07.240 back to your original question,

01:01:08.560 it seems like,

01:01:09.300 John,

01:01:09.600 you've changed gears here.

01:01:11.780 Yes,

01:01:12.080 I have changed gears here

01:01:13.380 because

01:01:14.460 the fuse is burning down

01:01:17.320 on whatever this situation

01:01:18.500 is going to wind up being

01:01:19.580 and I want to be on record

01:01:21.420 that I said

01:01:22.400 true things

01:01:23.520 that are backed up

01:01:25.880 by the word.

01:01:26.740 I want to write music

01:01:27.920 that backs it up.

01:01:29.200 I want to do podcasts

01:01:30.560 that people can watch

01:01:32.080 and think about it

01:01:32.940 and go pick it up

01:01:33.680 and read it for themselves.

01:01:34.780 That is significant to me.

01:01:37.640 That is significant.

01:01:39.160 But it's also

01:01:40.060 unpredictable.

01:01:41.420 You don't know

01:01:41.860 where that goes.

01:01:43.000 Are you worried?

01:01:45.020 I have concern about it.

01:01:46.600 I've had death threats

01:01:47.480 in the past two weeks.

01:01:49.680 That's not fun.

01:01:50.600 What's your attitude

01:01:51.060 toward that?

01:01:52.400 Pray for protection.

01:01:55.960 So we talked about earlier

01:01:56.980 when you pray for things,

01:01:58.040 you have to be specific

01:01:59.160 about what it is

01:01:59.940 you're asking for

01:02:00.820 and then he has to give it to you

01:02:02.440 if it serves his will.

01:02:04.080 Well,

01:02:04.280 I would hope

01:02:04.680 protecting me

01:02:05.340 serves his will.

01:02:06.560 I hope he wants me

01:02:07.660 around a long time.

01:02:10.600 There's

01:02:11.000 one verse

01:02:12.320 in Zechariah

01:02:13.040 in the Old Testament

01:02:13.840 and this prophet,

01:02:15.880 he was being hunted

01:02:17.040 basically

01:02:17.560 and

01:02:18.520 like all of them were

01:02:19.840 and he asked God

01:02:21.400 for protection

01:02:22.040 and God responded

01:02:23.500 to him,

01:02:23.900 the Lord responded

01:02:24.620 to him

01:02:24.980 and said,

01:02:25.700 I will be

01:02:26.660 a wall of fire

01:02:27.900 around you.

01:02:29.300 I personally will.

01:02:30.700 Not I'm going to send

01:02:31.600 down the angels.

01:02:33.380 I,

01:02:34.400 the creator,

01:02:36.400 will be a wall

01:02:37.800 of fire around you

01:02:38.820 and they will not

01:02:39.620 be able to get to you.

01:02:41.580 Granted.

01:02:43.300 Job is another example.

01:02:45.600 Job had a hedge

01:02:46.360 built around him

01:02:47.100 and his family

01:02:47.680 that God built

01:02:48.440 around him

01:02:48.920 because God loved him

01:02:49.980 and protected him

01:02:51.200 and the devil

01:02:53.680 went to God

01:02:54.840 and said,

01:02:55.700 take that hedge

01:02:56.700 off from around Job

01:02:57.700 and I bet I can get him

01:02:58.680 to curse you.

01:03:00.760 Like,

01:03:01.080 this is the devil

01:03:01.620 up there,

01:03:02.060 this Lucifer up there

01:03:02.860 talking to God.

01:03:05.300 God goes,

01:03:06.160 no he won't.

01:03:06.840 He goes,

01:03:07.500 wait,

01:03:07.860 you'll never know

01:03:08.540 because I can't get to him

01:03:09.940 because you built

01:03:10.840 this hedge around him,

01:03:11.640 I can't get to him.

01:03:13.660 But if you take it down,

01:03:14.820 he'll curse you.

01:03:16.280 He will.

01:03:16.860 He'll turn his back on you

01:03:17.820 and he goes,

01:03:18.200 no he won't.

01:03:18.700 He goes,

01:03:19.000 all right,

01:03:19.340 fine.

01:03:20.380 And so God took the hedge

01:03:21.400 away from Job

01:03:22.180 and it says,

01:03:24.540 a storm blew through,

01:03:25.800 killed his entire family,

01:03:27.160 took all of his crops,

01:03:28.400 all of his land,

01:03:29.820 his animals,

01:03:30.500 everything

01:03:30.840 and then Job got struck

01:03:32.460 with a disease

01:03:33.260 and he went from being

01:03:34.680 a wealthy,

01:03:35.480 successful guy

01:03:36.340 with a nice family

01:03:37.260 and all that

01:03:37.720 to sitting outside

01:03:38.820 the walls of the city

01:03:39.820 covered in sores,

01:03:41.320 scraping himself

01:03:42.300 with pieces

01:03:43.040 of broken pottery,

01:03:44.880 begging for people

01:03:45.640 to give him food

01:03:46.420 and his family

01:03:47.880 and friends

01:03:48.540 are walking past him

01:03:50.020 going,

01:03:50.440 Job,

01:03:51.320 just curse God

01:03:52.360 and die.

01:03:53.960 Just curse God

01:03:54.940 and die.

01:03:55.400 Job,

01:03:55.640 this is horrible.

01:03:56.560 Then his friends show up

01:03:57.580 and blame it all on him.

01:03:58.560 We can't stand

01:03:59.480 seeing what's happening

01:04:00.720 to you.

01:04:01.120 God has abandoned you.

01:04:02.060 Just curse him

01:04:02.780 and die

01:04:03.180 and get this over with.

01:04:04.820 And Job's response

01:04:05.860 is this.

01:04:07.440 Though he slay me,

01:04:09.320 yet will I trust him.

01:04:13.240 Though he slay me,

01:04:15.920 yet will I still trust him.

01:04:17.980 And when he made

01:04:18.720 that statement,

01:04:20.500 God replenished him

01:04:22.200 with everything

01:04:22.660 he had lost

01:04:23.140 times seven

01:04:23.740 and put the hedge

01:04:25.260 back around him

01:04:26.020 and told the devil,

01:04:27.080 said,

01:04:27.500 I told you so.

01:04:28.420 I told you he wouldn't

01:04:29.360 curse me.

01:04:30.700 Get the hell

01:04:31.140 out of my face.

01:04:31.840 Go read that story.

01:04:35.360 Right?

01:04:36.180 Yes.

01:04:37.040 So,

01:04:38.380 you're changing

01:04:39.560 your orientation

01:04:40.920 away from

01:04:42.120 just amusing people

01:04:43.160 in bars

01:04:44.300 and stadiums

01:04:45.820 to trying to use

01:04:47.360 the authority

01:04:48.020 that you have,

01:04:49.320 you've been given,

01:04:50.020 you've earned,

01:04:50.860 to teach

01:04:52.740 and to shine

01:04:53.580 light on

01:04:55.100 evil

01:04:56.020 and to help

01:04:57.460 the weak.

01:04:59.200 The defenseless.

01:05:00.100 The defenseless.

01:05:01.000 I think I'm summarizing.

01:05:02.680 Broadly,

01:05:03.160 what you just said,

01:05:04.280 you've written a new song,

01:05:05.820 which I think

01:05:06.420 it's fair to say

01:05:07.380 is not a top 40 hit.

01:05:08.800 Is this fair?

01:05:09.900 It just came out

01:05:10.860 and it will not

01:05:12.040 be on the radio.

01:05:13.620 Well,

01:05:14.200 why won't it be

01:05:15.360 on the radio?

01:05:15.860 If a radio station

01:05:16.760 plays this song,

01:05:17.640 I will go there

01:05:18.280 personally

01:05:18.800 and buy a mistake

01:05:20.540 dinner.

01:05:21.060 You will?

01:05:21.680 Okay.

01:05:22.220 It would take a lot

01:05:23.160 for them to put this

01:05:24.040 on the air.

01:05:27.000 About a year ago,

01:05:28.080 I saw a clip

01:05:29.440 of Sean Combs

01:05:30.480 and he was standing

01:05:32.320 on a stage

01:05:33.360 at an award show.

01:05:34.140 That would be Puff Daddy.

01:05:34.720 Yeah,

01:05:34.900 that's right.

01:05:35.440 I won't call him that,

01:05:37.360 but whatever.

01:05:38.480 That guy.

01:05:39.960 And Sean Combs

01:05:41.020 standing up there

01:05:41.820 and he's looking

01:05:43.200 into the cameras

01:05:43.940 and he says,

01:05:45.780 I own your kids.

01:05:48.820 I own their souls.

01:05:51.320 I determine what they wear.

01:05:53.200 I determine what they listen to.

01:05:56.300 He's looking right

01:05:56.860 in the camera saying this,

01:05:59.220 meaning he's looking at me

01:06:00.620 and I'm thinking,

01:06:02.440 oh,

01:06:02.700 is that right,

01:06:03.320 Sean Combs?

01:06:04.080 You own my sons.

01:06:06.320 You own the souls

01:06:07.480 of my sons.

01:06:09.200 Really?

01:06:09.640 And I thought,

01:06:11.680 this guy has no fear

01:06:13.820 whatsoever

01:06:14.520 of a mom or a dad

01:06:17.000 and what they would do

01:06:18.520 to him

01:06:19.240 if he came

01:06:20.020 and tried to take

01:06:21.000 one of their kids.

01:06:22.900 No understanding

01:06:23.920 whatsoever.

01:06:24.820 And basically,

01:06:25.460 what you're seeing there

01:06:26.240 is a demon-possessed man.

01:06:29.800 And don't forget this,

01:06:30.820 Tucker,

01:06:31.220 the devil and his minions

01:06:32.740 are the most arrogant

01:06:33.780 creatures in the universe.

01:06:35.200 They are so arrogant.

01:06:36.340 I've noticed.

01:06:37.040 With their wickedness.

01:06:38.700 They don't care

01:06:39.560 what you think about it.

01:06:41.380 I mean,

01:06:42.060 they're just going to say it,

01:06:43.040 right?

01:06:43.280 Right to your face.

01:06:44.780 And so,

01:06:45.340 I saw him say that

01:06:46.500 and I went,

01:06:47.460 this guy,

01:06:48.340 music for Sean Combs

01:06:50.120 is like a weapon.

01:06:51.820 He uses his music

01:06:53.720 to indoctrinate

01:06:57.840 to,

01:06:59.520 we talked about music earlier,

01:07:01.100 how it can go

01:07:01.900 in between

01:07:02.600 all the defenses you have.

01:07:04.300 It can get through

01:07:04.880 your soul

01:07:05.320 and your spirit

01:07:05.900 and all the way down

01:07:06.560 into you

01:07:06.880 and get stuck

01:07:07.460 in your head

01:07:07.800 for the rest of your life.

01:07:09.180 And he knows that too.

01:07:10.600 He uses it

01:07:11.620 for wicked purposes.

01:07:13.540 So,

01:07:13.700 it's a weapon for him.

01:07:15.120 It's something,

01:07:15.880 that's his main go-to.

01:07:18.060 And I was thinking

01:07:19.160 about that

01:07:19.780 and I said,

01:07:20.880 yeah,

01:07:21.560 me too.

01:07:23.400 Music is my weapon

01:07:24.480 of choice.

01:07:26.200 And is anybody

01:07:27.120 going to rebut

01:07:27.960 this devil

01:07:29.300 and what he just said

01:07:30.560 about our kids?

01:07:32.940 Nobody did.

01:07:34.060 Nobody said,

01:07:34.800 boo about it.

01:07:35.440 Well,

01:07:35.700 there's Sean Combs

01:07:36.560 up there

01:07:36.920 just declaring

01:07:38.000 that he owns

01:07:38.780 the souls of our children

01:07:39.880 in America.

01:07:40.720 I said,

01:07:41.340 yeah,

01:07:41.560 I don't think so.

01:07:42.760 And I got

01:07:43.360 really

01:07:46.060 intense

01:07:48.360 with that thought process

01:07:49.860 and I thought

01:07:50.680 there needs to be

01:07:51.940 a song

01:07:52.600 that talks about

01:07:55.080 what a mom

01:07:56.980 or a dad

01:07:57.920 would be willing

01:07:58.860 to do

01:07:59.640 to keep

01:08:00.680 a Sean Combs

01:08:02.140 style person

01:08:03.020 and there's

01:08:03.580 millions of them

01:08:04.980 in our country

01:08:05.720 as we discussed

01:08:07.220 earlier.

01:08:07.940 There's literally

01:08:09.120 nothing they

01:08:09.920 wouldn't do

01:08:10.480 to protect

01:08:10.920 their kids.

01:08:11.920 And I really

01:08:12.500 don't think

01:08:13.120 that the people

01:08:14.020 on the other

01:08:14.400 side of the table,

01:08:15.220 the predator

01:08:15.640 class out there

01:08:16.800 don't really have

01:08:18.440 an understanding

01:08:19.100 of that.

01:08:20.060 It's almost

01:08:20.600 as if they have

01:08:21.260 no fear

01:08:21.920 of the American

01:08:22.740 parent,

01:08:23.380 of the dad,

01:08:24.400 the regular guy,

01:08:25.280 the guy that

01:08:25.800 keeps to himself,

01:08:27.540 works hard

01:08:28.080 every day,

01:08:28.700 just leave me

01:08:29.300 alone guy.

01:08:30.360 I think they

01:08:31.280 don't really

01:08:31.800 understand

01:08:32.540 what that person

01:08:33.780 would turn into

01:08:34.580 if you put your

01:08:35.520 hands on one

01:08:36.300 of their kids

01:08:36.960 because they

01:08:38.700 would rip you

01:08:39.380 limb from limb.

01:08:41.200 They would become

01:08:42.200 the most primal

01:08:43.260 beast you've ever

01:08:44.140 met in your life.

01:08:45.160 They would lose

01:08:45.720 all inhibition.

01:08:47.140 You lose,

01:08:48.160 they win.

01:08:49.080 All they would

01:08:49.800 care about is

01:08:50.520 that they live

01:08:51.420 long enough

01:08:52.100 to kill you.

01:08:53.900 That would be

01:08:54.460 the dad's

01:08:54.980 only concern.

01:08:56.300 Just let me

01:08:56.920 live long enough

01:08:57.640 to take him out.

01:08:58.420 He hurt my

01:08:59.380 kid.

01:09:01.660 That's how a

01:09:02.580 parent really

01:09:03.120 feels,

01:09:03.840 right?

01:09:04.980 Without question.

01:09:06.280 Okay.

01:09:07.340 A lot of parents

01:09:08.120 watching this

01:09:08.680 podcast right now

01:09:09.600 are going,

01:09:10.280 yep.

01:09:11.500 So,

01:09:12.280 I wrote this

01:09:13.700 song called

01:09:14.340 The Righteous

01:09:15.140 Hunter

01:09:15.700 because predators

01:09:17.580 hunt.

01:09:19.640 They hunt.

01:09:21.180 They hunt our

01:09:22.080 kids.

01:09:23.240 So,

01:09:23.840 they're the

01:09:24.160 wicked hunters,

01:09:24.940 right?

01:09:26.040 Well,

01:09:26.660 as everything

01:09:27.520 is in nature,

01:09:28.740 if you've

01:09:29.160 got darkness,

01:09:29.960 you've also

01:09:30.400 got light.

01:09:31.100 There's a

01:09:31.460 flip side to

01:09:32.100 everything.

01:09:33.000 And I

01:09:33.260 thought,

01:09:33.940 who are the

01:09:35.040 righteous

01:09:35.360 hunters?

01:09:37.800 How about

01:09:38.440 we hunt

01:09:38.940 them?

01:09:39.920 How about

01:09:40.320 we put

01:09:41.040 them on

01:09:41.460 the run?

01:09:41.900 How about

01:09:42.340 the predators

01:09:43.420 out there

01:09:44.100 who are so

01:09:45.200 arrogant that

01:09:45.820 they'll stand

01:09:46.280 on television

01:09:47.000 and tell us

01:09:47.680 what they're

01:09:48.020 going to do

01:09:48.340 to our

01:09:48.660 kids?

01:09:49.320 How about

01:09:49.860 we put a

01:09:50.340 little fear

01:09:50.760 of God

01:09:51.160 into them

01:09:51.620 for a

01:09:51.960 minute?

01:09:52.380 How about

01:09:52.700 we remind

01:09:53.440 them who

01:09:54.420 it is that

01:09:55.140 they're really

01:09:55.640 dealing with?

01:09:56.400 And so,

01:09:58.040 I wrote

01:09:58.260 this song,

01:09:58.720 The Righteous

01:09:59.140 Hunter.

01:09:59.560 It just

01:10:00.100 came out.

01:10:02.580 The video

01:10:03.540 to this song,

01:10:04.280 which I would

01:10:04.800 urge people

01:10:05.420 to go watch,

01:10:06.720 is disturbing.

01:10:07.780 it is a

01:10:09.380 recreation,

01:10:11.560 and we

01:10:11.900 actually used

01:10:13.020 adults who

01:10:15.040 had been

01:10:15.520 trafficked

01:10:16.060 and who

01:10:16.360 now go

01:10:16.940 out and

01:10:17.580 sting

01:10:18.180 traffickers.

01:10:19.660 One lady

01:10:20.320 in particular

01:10:20.860 named Brooke,

01:10:22.140 who you'll

01:10:22.520 see in the

01:10:22.920 video,

01:10:24.820 she made

01:10:25.500 sure that we

01:10:26.120 shot this

01:10:26.760 accurately.

01:10:27.900 So,

01:10:28.180 basically,

01:10:28.680 you see these

01:10:29.220 two bad

01:10:29.720 guys making

01:10:30.280 a deal

01:10:30.760 on buying

01:10:32.220 some kids

01:10:32.920 and where

01:10:34.220 they're going

01:10:34.560 to meet,

01:10:35.200 and then you

01:10:35.620 see them

01:10:36.000 meeting there,

01:10:36.680 and then you

01:10:37.400 see the

01:10:37.760 kids walk

01:10:38.380 out that

01:10:39.240 are for

01:10:39.580 sale,

01:10:40.760 and meanwhile,

01:10:41.420 I'm singing

01:10:41.920 in this little

01:10:43.340 girl's bedroom,

01:10:44.780 and she's not

01:10:45.500 there because

01:10:46.240 she's been

01:10:46.720 taken,

01:10:47.700 and her dad

01:10:48.700 is played

01:10:49.120 by Sean

01:10:49.680 Ryan.

01:10:50.820 What a good

01:10:51.620 man.

01:10:51.860 In the video,

01:10:52.760 and you talk

01:10:53.440 about a

01:10:53.820 righteous hunter,

01:10:54.840 that's him.

01:10:56.440 Because I promise

01:10:57.260 you,

01:10:57.820 he's a hunter

01:10:58.400 on many levels,

01:10:59.620 but as a dad,

01:11:01.120 that is the

01:11:01.720 last human

01:11:02.300 being you

01:11:03.540 would want to

01:11:04.000 see coming

01:11:04.460 for you.

01:11:05.340 The last

01:11:06.280 human being.

01:11:07.800 And so I

01:11:08.240 asked Sean,

01:11:08.820 I said,

01:11:09.140 I know this

01:11:09.520 is way

01:11:09.940 outside,

01:11:10.580 man,

01:11:10.820 of what you

01:11:11.560 normally do

01:11:12.400 or have

01:11:13.460 ever done,

01:11:14.160 but would

01:11:15.280 you play

01:11:15.760 the dad

01:11:16.460 in this

01:11:17.100 video,

01:11:17.860 The Righteous

01:11:18.420 Hunter?

01:11:19.180 And I

01:11:19.660 sang The

01:11:20.200 Righteous

01:11:20.520 Hunter on

01:11:20.980 his podcast

01:11:21.720 about two

01:11:22.280 months ago,

01:11:23.000 and he

01:11:23.680 looked at

01:11:23.980 me and he

01:11:24.340 said,

01:11:24.680 that's going

01:11:25.060 to be the

01:11:25.480 biggest song

01:11:26.040 you have

01:11:26.400 ever put

01:11:26.860 out.

01:11:27.280 I'm going

01:11:27.600 to make

01:11:27.840 a prediction.

01:11:28.760 That is going

01:11:29.440 to be the

01:11:29.760 biggest song

01:11:30.180 you've ever

01:11:30.500 put out.

01:11:31.680 Tears in

01:11:32.240 his eyes,

01:11:32.800 the whole

01:11:33.080 thing.

01:11:34.000 So I

01:11:34.800 brought my

01:11:35.160 guitar up

01:11:35.720 here because

01:11:36.360 we're not

01:11:37.480 going to

01:11:37.660 show the

01:11:37.940 video on

01:11:38.400 the podcast,

01:11:39.520 but you

01:11:40.320 can get

01:11:40.800 the song,

01:11:41.420 you can

01:11:41.660 go watch

01:11:42.140 it,

01:11:42.300 just look

01:11:42.620 up John

01:11:43.040 Rich,

01:11:43.300 The Righteous

01:11:43.740 Hunter,

01:11:44.000 and you'll

01:11:44.240 find it.

01:11:44.720 But I

01:11:45.200 brought the

01:11:45.560 old Martin

01:11:46.040 there.

01:11:46.780 That's

01:11:47.060 actually my

01:11:47.560 son's name,

01:11:48.280 Colt,

01:11:48.600 my younger

01:11:48.940 son and

01:11:49.300 his birthday,

01:11:50.020 September 29,

01:11:50.880 2011.

01:11:52.180 And I

01:11:52.980 memorialized my

01:11:53.960 kids on my

01:11:54.700 guitars.

01:11:55.180 I love my

01:11:55.720 kids more

01:11:56.280 than life,

01:11:57.020 more than

01:11:57.340 anything.

01:11:58.160 And there's

01:11:58.500 literally nothing

01:11:59.240 I would not

01:11:59.860 do to protect

01:12:01.340 one of my

01:12:02.160 kids.

01:12:02.880 Literally

01:12:03.220 nothing.

01:12:07.640 Literally.

01:12:09.300 I don't care

01:12:10.160 if 20 of

01:12:10.880 them are

01:12:11.140 coming.

01:12:12.280 We'll pile

01:12:12.940 them up out

01:12:13.400 by the fence.

01:12:14.960 If you come

01:12:15.820 from my

01:12:16.240 kids,

01:12:16.620 if you come

01:12:18.080 from my

01:12:18.520 kids,

01:12:19.060 all bets

01:12:19.560 are off,

01:12:20.340 you lose.

01:12:21.660 I win.

01:12:22.400 We don't

01:12:22.900 run.

01:12:23.760 We do

01:12:24.300 not run,

01:12:25.060 and we're

01:12:25.440 going to

01:12:25.580 have to

01:12:25.840 stop running

01:12:26.460 in this

01:12:26.760 country.

01:12:27.380 We should

01:12:27.720 not have

01:12:28.120 the posture

01:12:28.640 of,

01:12:29.360 oh,

01:12:29.460 I just

01:12:29.740 hope they

01:12:30.080 don't come

01:12:30.460 get my

01:12:30.880 kid.

01:12:32.060 That's not

01:12:32.700 the posture,

01:12:33.420 man.

01:12:34.040 The posture

01:12:34.760 is,

01:12:35.580 you come

01:12:35.920 on and try

01:12:36.500 it one time,

01:12:37.540 big boy.

01:12:38.740 Come on

01:12:39.140 into my yard

01:12:39.800 and try it

01:12:40.240 one time and

01:12:40.780 see how you

01:12:41.300 wind up.

01:12:42.520 You freaks

01:12:43.300 sitting behind

01:12:43.780 your computer

01:12:44.560 acting like

01:12:45.200 you're a

01:12:45.560 kid,

01:12:46.340 entrapping

01:12:46.900 these kids,

01:12:47.720 stealing

01:12:48.000 these kids,

01:12:49.200 pimping

01:12:49.540 them,

01:12:50.000 prostituting

01:12:50.620 them,

01:12:51.360 harvesting

01:12:51.760 their organs,

01:12:52.620 all the

01:12:52.920 horrible,

01:12:53.800 demonic

01:12:54.140 stuff you're

01:12:54.680 doing to

01:12:54.940 our kids.

01:12:55.460 Why don't

01:12:55.800 you step

01:12:56.200 in my

01:12:56.680 yard one

01:12:57.160 time and

01:12:57.580 try it

01:12:58.000 and see

01:12:58.480 what happens

01:12:59.000 to you?

01:13:00.140 You

01:13:00.380 degenerate

01:13:01.320 demoniac.

01:13:02.780 Call them

01:13:03.260 what they

01:13:03.600 are.

01:13:05.000 So that's

01:13:05.680 what this

01:13:06.040 song does.

01:13:07.820 Can I hear

01:13:08.460 it?

01:13:08.980 Absolutely.

01:13:10.340 I know

01:13:10.860 I always

01:13:11.220 bring songs

01:13:11.840 to you

01:13:12.140 that you

01:13:12.420 go,

01:13:12.620 I can't

01:13:12.900 believe you

01:13:13.220 could write

01:13:13.480 a song

01:13:13.780 about that.

01:13:14.480 No,

01:13:14.740 I love

01:13:15.040 it.

01:13:15.220 I love it.

01:13:15.260 Evil runs

01:13:29.100 around this

01:13:30.320 town undercover

01:13:31.820 looking for

01:13:33.440 a soul to

01:13:34.360 take, but

01:13:36.260 they better

01:13:37.200 stay away

01:13:38.260 from the

01:13:39.060 righteous

01:13:39.640 hunter, or

01:13:41.700 hell is all

01:13:42.640 they'll pay

01:13:43.560 because I

01:13:45.360 can see

01:13:45.920 around the

01:13:46.740 corner, and

01:13:47.760 I know you're

01:13:48.740 coming, if

01:13:49.840 you had any

01:13:50.860 sense you'd

01:13:51.980 run, but

01:13:54.340 you ain't got

01:13:55.240 a clue what

01:13:56.440 a daddy will

01:13:57.360 do, better

01:13:58.320 give your soul

01:13:59.600 to Jesus while

01:14:00.820 I get my

01:14:01.620 gun.

01:14:04.980 You better

01:14:06.140 give your soul

01:14:07.180 to Jesus while

01:14:08.400 I get my

01:14:09.180 gun.

01:14:09.840 they try to

01:14:14.280 steal away

01:14:15.260 our sons

01:14:16.380 and daughters

01:14:17.560 shrouded in

01:14:18.940 the shadow

01:14:19.580 of night, but

01:14:21.760 we fight

01:14:22.840 with protection

01:14:23.800 of the

01:14:24.580 heavenly

01:14:25.200 father, and

01:14:27.240 we ain't

01:14:27.760 scared to

01:14:28.680 die, and

01:14:30.620 I can see

01:14:31.400 around the

01:14:32.220 corner, and

01:14:33.220 I know you're

01:14:34.180 coming, if

01:14:35.300 you had any

01:14:36.340 sense you'd

01:14:37.500 run, but

01:14:39.820 you ain't

01:14:40.460 got a clue

01:14:41.420 what a

01:14:42.200 daddy will

01:14:42.940 do, better

01:14:43.920 give your soul

01:14:45.240 to Jesus

01:14:45.940 while I get

01:14:46.860 my gun.

01:14:50.460 Yeah, you

01:14:51.460 better give

01:14:52.400 your soul

01:14:52.900 to Jesus

01:14:53.560 while I get

01:14:54.500 my gun.

01:14:59.680 Recall the

01:15:00.720 words that

01:15:01.520 Jesus said,

01:15:03.200 better off

01:15:04.040 when millstone's

01:15:05.700 around their

01:15:06.860 necks, and

01:15:07.780 we pray.

01:15:12.520 Not our

01:15:13.620 will, but

01:15:14.380 time be

01:15:15.240 done, bringing

01:15:16.400 in to the

01:15:17.920 reign of the

01:15:19.000 wicked oneness

01:15:20.680 we claim

01:15:21.680 in your

01:15:23.300 name.

01:15:27.160 And I can

01:15:28.300 see you around

01:15:29.280 the corner, and

01:15:30.800 I know you're

01:15:31.780 coming, if you

01:15:33.240 had any sense

01:15:34.640 you'd run, but

01:15:37.720 you ain't got a

01:15:38.940 clue what a

01:15:40.160 daddy will do,

01:15:41.840 better give your

01:15:42.900 soul to Jesus

01:15:43.920 while I get

01:15:44.880 my gun.

01:15:48.520 Yeah, you

01:15:49.520 better give your

01:15:50.700 soul to Jesus

01:15:51.720 while I get

01:15:52.680 my gun.

01:15:54.080 evil runs

01:16:02.980 around this

01:16:04.260 town undercover

01:16:05.800 looking for

01:16:07.480 a soul to

01:16:08.460 take, but

01:16:10.320 they better

01:16:11.320 stay away

01:16:12.460 from the

01:16:13.260 righteous

01:16:13.860 honor, or

01:16:16.040 hell is all

01:16:17.400 they'll pay.

01:16:18.540 Amazing.

01:16:25.640 I love it.

01:16:27.280 Thanks for

01:16:27.780 letting me play

01:16:28.260 it.

01:16:28.780 You're saying

01:16:29.140 there, I'm not

01:16:29.540 afraid to die.

01:16:30.120 Are you not

01:16:30.440 afraid to die?

01:16:31.360 Not for my

01:16:31.920 kids.

01:16:33.120 Yeah.

01:16:33.860 It'd be an

01:16:34.300 honor to die

01:16:34.840 for my kids.

01:16:36.840 I agree with

01:16:37.540 that.

01:16:37.740 why are you

01:16:41.200 the first

01:16:41.560 person to

01:16:42.100 articulate this

01:16:42.980 in the way

01:16:43.860 that you did?

01:16:44.860 Because it is

01:16:45.840 the most

01:16:46.440 grotesque,

01:16:47.460 uncomfortable,

01:16:49.020 wicked thing

01:16:49.940 that exists

01:16:50.660 in my mind.

01:16:52.440 And it is

01:16:54.000 so bad

01:16:54.700 that

01:16:55.600 really good

01:16:57.580 people with

01:16:58.400 really good

01:16:58.920 intentions,

01:17:00.380 strong people

01:17:01.240 just want to

01:17:04.800 go like that.

01:17:05.600 Yep, that's

01:17:06.220 where I am.

01:17:06.700 That's exactly

01:17:07.420 where I am.

01:17:07.780 I cannot look

01:17:08.340 at that.

01:17:08.980 I cannot

01:17:09.440 bring myself

01:17:10.520 to come to

01:17:11.700 grips with

01:17:12.200 what is going

01:17:13.060 on.

01:17:13.280 It's too evil.

01:17:13.900 You can't,

01:17:14.300 I can't deal

01:17:14.740 with it.

01:17:14.920 It's so evil.

01:17:15.760 It is so

01:17:16.660 against the

01:17:18.220 DNA of an

01:17:19.600 unpossessed

01:17:20.540 person that

01:17:21.840 they can't

01:17:22.300 even fathom

01:17:23.080 it.

01:17:24.880 That's very

01:17:25.360 wise.

01:17:25.680 You don't

01:17:26.140 want it in

01:17:26.600 your mind.

01:17:27.420 That's right.

01:17:28.960 In fact,

01:17:29.520 I've always

01:17:30.020 wondered,

01:17:30.640 I'm so grateful

01:17:31.240 that there are

01:17:31.760 people entrapping

01:17:32.980 job molesters

01:17:34.400 on the internet.

01:17:35.740 I'm grateful

01:17:36.400 for that.

01:17:36.840 But I always

01:17:37.900 wonder what does

01:17:38.460 it do to them

01:17:39.120 to marinate it?

01:17:40.200 It's like watching

01:17:41.200 ISIS videos all

01:17:42.180 day.

01:17:42.400 You don't want

01:17:43.040 to, I don't

01:17:43.400 want to see

01:17:43.780 that.

01:17:44.200 They have

01:17:44.600 PTS like you

01:17:45.720 can on a

01:17:46.260 match.

01:17:46.340 Is that true?

01:17:46.800 Oh, Lord have

01:17:47.940 mercy.

01:17:49.140 I mean, the

01:17:49.660 jobs these

01:17:50.240 people do,

01:17:51.200 the stuff

01:17:51.560 they have

01:17:51.980 to see

01:17:52.580 is,

01:17:55.400 it never

01:17:57.560 leaves them.

01:17:58.420 And they

01:17:58.720 have all

01:17:59.240 kinds of

01:17:59.620 problems that

01:18:00.700 they have to

01:18:01.180 deal with.

01:18:01.920 And a lot

01:18:02.500 of them can

01:18:03.780 only do those

01:18:04.400 jobs for a

01:18:05.380 period of time

01:18:06.040 and they got

01:18:06.500 to get out.

01:18:07.180 They just

01:18:07.520 cannot deal

01:18:09.200 with it.

01:18:09.600 And that

01:18:11.580 goes to the

01:18:12.340 point of how

01:18:13.280 unbelievably horrible

01:18:14.940 it really is.

01:18:16.940 And the

01:18:18.720 fact that 36

01:18:19.660 million reports

01:18:20.700 got called in

01:18:21.400 last year to

01:18:22.000 DHS about kids

01:18:23.200 being targeted,

01:18:24.040 36 million unique

01:18:25.460 reports, that's

01:18:27.300 how big it is in

01:18:28.080 our country.

01:18:28.700 America is the

01:18:29.520 number one

01:18:30.060 consumer of

01:18:32.140 child exploitation.

01:18:33.600 Number one is

01:18:34.480 America.

01:18:34.940 you know the

01:18:35.740 country that's

01:18:36.360 founded on

01:18:36.920 God?

01:18:39.940 That country?

01:18:41.100 The country that

01:18:42.000 says founded by

01:18:42.920 our creator?

01:18:43.640 It's just a

01:18:44.080 little weird

01:18:44.520 because if you

01:18:45.280 go online,

01:18:46.160 even in your

01:18:46.660 private conversations,

01:18:48.080 which are not

01:18:48.680 private at all,

01:18:49.420 they're all

01:18:49.720 monitored, as I

01:18:50.780 know you know,

01:18:51.820 it's a fact,

01:18:52.780 and start talking

01:18:53.960 about overthrowing

01:18:54.720 the government or

01:18:55.760 killing your

01:18:57.160 leaders or

01:18:57.820 whatever, boy,

01:18:58.400 they come to

01:18:59.120 your house.

01:18:59.780 That happens a

01:19:00.800 lot, a lot.

01:19:02.780 So how are

01:19:03.320 people consuming

01:19:04.100 child exploitation?

01:19:04.940 Or exploitation

01:19:06.040 pornography?

01:19:08.240 How are they

01:19:08.740 engaging this

01:19:09.380 digitally and the

01:19:10.000 government just

01:19:10.580 kind of isn't

01:19:11.080 picking up on it

01:19:11.820 or something?

01:19:12.960 What is that?

01:19:14.500 It could be,

01:19:15.660 that could be part

01:19:16.680 of it, but the

01:19:17.500 sheer volume,

01:19:18.840 Tucker, how do

01:19:19.860 you deal with

01:19:21.220 36 million reports?

01:19:25.060 How do you do

01:19:25.900 that?

01:19:26.560 I don't know.

01:19:27.260 So the only way

01:19:28.560 I have thought of

01:19:29.500 of how to start

01:19:31.080 knocking these

01:19:31.760 numbers back,

01:19:33.480 which by the way,

01:19:34.440 less than 1%

01:19:35.780 of kids that

01:19:37.360 are trafficked

01:19:38.040 and taken are

01:19:38.980 ever returned to

01:19:40.760 their parents.

01:19:41.620 Less than 1%.

01:19:43.300 The only way I

01:19:46.140 have determined,

01:19:47.700 and at the end

01:19:48.140 of the video,

01:19:48.760 and I really hope

01:19:49.420 people go look this

01:19:50.300 video up,

01:19:50.980 The Righteous Hunter.

01:19:53.040 At the end of the

01:19:53.960 video, my friend

01:19:55.840 Tim Tebow saw the

01:19:57.380 video.

01:19:58.400 Tim's organization,

01:19:59.540 they hire former

01:20:02.420 police, detectives,

01:20:03.960 former military,

01:20:05.120 intelligence people,

01:20:06.220 and they go out

01:20:07.560 and they find these

01:20:09.040 guys and they rescue

01:20:10.140 kids.

01:20:10.680 That's what they do.

01:20:12.700 We need, I asked

01:20:15.140 the lady that was at

01:20:17.300 the video shoot,

01:20:18.840 she's overseen 14,000

01:20:20.520 kids rescued in 21

01:20:21.820 years.

01:20:22.340 Wow.

01:20:22.900 And she was

01:20:23.780 trafficked as a

01:20:24.620 kid, so she

01:20:25.200 dedicated her whole

01:20:25.880 life to it.

01:20:27.140 And I asked Brooke,

01:20:28.360 I said, so how

01:20:31.220 many people would

01:20:34.000 we need in America

01:20:35.000 working full time,

01:20:37.100 doing the job that

01:20:38.520 you do or that Tim

01:20:39.600 Tebow does and

01:20:40.580 others, to get this

01:20:42.400 number from 1% are

01:20:43.700 returned to 50% are

01:20:45.920 returned?

01:20:46.860 She said, probably

01:20:48.780 $20,000, somewhere

01:20:51.800 in that range.

01:20:53.440 And I said, what

01:20:54.120 would that cost?

01:20:55.340 She said, about a

01:20:56.880 billion dollars a

01:20:57.680 year.

01:20:58.380 Yeah.

01:20:58.840 And I said, less

01:20:59.560 than we give to

01:21:00.080 Harvard.

01:21:00.520 That's all?

01:21:02.320 What would happen if

01:21:03.260 you had $2 billion?

01:21:04.340 She goes, we would,

01:21:05.580 they would be running,

01:21:07.960 they would burn their

01:21:10.100 computers, they would

01:21:11.200 get off the dark web,

01:21:12.420 they would be hiding

01:21:13.120 under the rocks and

01:21:14.060 in the caves.

01:21:15.120 They would be hiding

01:21:16.240 because there would

01:21:17.020 be an army of

01:21:18.360 people tracking

01:21:19.140 them, hunting them.

01:21:21.180 The predator becomes

01:21:22.480 hunted.

01:21:23.160 She said, it would

01:21:23.800 take that.

01:21:24.620 So I wonder why I

01:21:25.760 can't go to Congress

01:21:26.820 and lay these facts

01:21:28.740 and figures out while

01:21:30.080 we have this current

01:21:30.800 administration and

01:21:32.480 say, I want $2

01:21:34.260 billion peeled off of

01:21:36.300 some bullshit project

01:21:37.540 you guys are working

01:21:38.440 on.

01:21:38.860 And I want 20,000,

01:21:40.660 40,000 soldiers on

01:21:42.040 the ground, American

01:21:43.240 citizens with

01:21:44.300 expertise to go

01:21:45.820 drain this situation

01:21:48.080 and incarcerate as

01:21:49.720 many of them as you

01:21:50.620 can and save the

01:21:52.040 American child.

01:21:54.440 That is what I want

01:21:55.500 to see happen.

01:21:55.860 Get out of the

01:21:56.240 foreign aid budget.

01:21:57.220 I'm for that.

01:21:57.980 Let's go.

01:21:59.000 Let's go.

01:21:59.440 Now, if we pull

01:22:00.140 something like that

01:22:00.920 off, God may decide

01:22:03.680 to hold off on

01:22:04.440 turning the table

01:22:05.080 upside down on this

01:22:06.000 country.

01:22:06.400 He might.

01:22:07.400 If you do that.

01:22:08.200 I mean, we don't

01:22:11.300 treat children well

01:22:12.080 at all.

01:22:12.840 No.

01:22:13.380 At all.

01:22:14.000 We don't let a lot

01:22:14.900 of them even be born

01:22:15.820 to begin with.

01:22:16.580 No.

01:22:16.860 63 million since

01:22:17.960 1973.

01:22:18.960 That's right.

01:22:20.480 I often think if

01:22:21.380 you were buying a

01:22:22.880 new house and the

01:22:24.900 realtor said it was a

01:22:25.740 great house and you

01:22:26.300 wanted the house, a

01:22:26.980 beautiful house, and

01:22:27.940 you got to the

01:22:28.560 master bedroom and

01:22:29.320 the realtor says to

01:22:30.340 you, by the way, you

01:22:30.900 should just know that a

01:22:31.700 child was dismembered in

01:22:32.780 this bedroom.

01:22:34.300 Would you buy the

01:22:35.020 house?

01:22:35.620 Maybe.

01:22:36.140 Probably not.

01:22:36.740 Because there's

01:22:37.900 something spooky about

01:22:38.700 that.

01:22:39.000 There's something, I'm

01:22:40.600 not a theologian, I

01:22:41.400 don't know much about

01:22:41.920 theology, but there's

01:22:42.760 something so dark about

01:22:44.640 that act taking place in

01:22:46.440 a place that you don't

01:22:47.980 want anything to do

01:22:48.500 with it.

01:22:48.740 You used to call them

01:22:49.560 haunted houses.

01:22:51.100 So if you have 63

01:22:52.540 million dismemberments of

01:22:54.400 children in your

01:22:55.240 country, it changes the

01:22:57.360 nature of the country.

01:22:58.200 It's leaving aside, you

01:23:00.860 know, the effects on the

01:23:01.560 women, obviously the

01:23:02.220 children were killed, the

01:23:04.480 effects on the

01:23:04.900 abortionists who did it.

01:23:05.840 It's bad for

01:23:06.300 everybody, but it's

01:23:07.080 also bad for your

01:23:07.980 nation itself.

01:23:09.020 Like, that's happened

01:23:09.500 inside our borders.

01:23:10.840 Yes.

01:23:11.760 How long do you think

01:23:12.380 God's going to let us

01:23:13.140 get away with that?

01:23:13.820 I don't know, but...

01:23:15.000 I'm surprised he has

01:23:16.020 for this long.

01:23:17.700 He brought low many

01:23:20.880 other empires for way

01:23:22.300 less.

01:23:23.720 Yeah.

01:23:24.300 Yes.

01:23:24.780 I mean, I...

01:23:26.300 I'm...

01:23:27.300 That's why I say...

01:23:28.180 I refuse to believe that

01:23:28.960 doesn't have consequences.

01:23:30.180 That has consequences.

01:23:31.040 I hope for it.

01:23:32.380 If the soul is real, and

01:23:34.640 I think that it is, I

01:23:35.620 think most people

01:23:36.000 understand that it is

01:23:36.700 because they feel that

01:23:37.260 it is, you can't

01:23:38.500 eliminate 63,000 people,

01:23:41.060 can't kill them, for

01:23:42.660 whatever reason.

01:23:43.400 Everyone always has a

01:23:43.940 good reason to kill

01:23:44.540 somebody.

01:23:45.460 They always justify it

01:23:46.340 to themselves.

01:23:47.440 But the fact is, that

01:23:48.640 many number of children

01:23:49.600 were killed, and, like,

01:23:50.880 that has got to have a

01:23:52.600 consequence.

01:23:53.060 How could it not?

01:23:54.020 Right.

01:23:55.380 Right.

01:23:56.680 So, this little song I

01:23:58.640 just played you is...

01:24:00.800 It's out there, and the

01:24:02.620 point of it is to grab

01:24:04.880 parents by the shoulders

01:24:06.680 and shake them hard

01:24:08.180 enough.

01:24:08.660 Yes.

01:24:09.220 Because these images in

01:24:10.380 this video, my man, will

01:24:12.180 rattle you when you see

01:24:14.000 them.

01:24:14.340 It was hard to shoot,

01:24:16.200 uncomfortable to shoot,

01:24:17.540 but we shot it

01:24:18.760 accurately.

01:24:19.700 We had real people that

01:24:21.600 really do this for a

01:24:22.600 living.

01:24:23.080 Wow.

01:24:23.340 And made it look like

01:24:25.900 what it looks like.

01:24:26.820 I mean, the people in

01:24:27.800 the room were bawling

01:24:28.940 their eyes out, and

01:24:29.740 these are some tough

01:24:30.600 people, because the

01:24:31.980 situation looked like

01:24:33.380 what they go into a lot

01:24:34.620 of the times.

01:24:36.360 And you see those kids

01:24:37.300 come walking in that

01:24:38.120 room for sale?

01:24:39.440 Yeah.

01:24:41.420 It's...

01:24:42.140 You're kidding.

01:24:42.940 You will become

01:24:44.680 extremely sad and

01:24:49.160 violently angry all at

01:24:51.200 the same time.

01:24:51.920 you will go, if I

01:24:54.060 could find those

01:24:54.680 people right now, I'd

01:24:55.980 go get them.

01:24:56.780 That's how it'll make

01:24:57.480 you feel.

01:24:59.000 But they're everywhere.

01:25:00.180 They're in every zip

01:25:00.800 code in the U.S.

01:25:02.240 There are people that

01:25:03.100 you might shake hands

01:25:04.100 with every day.

01:25:04.980 There are people that

01:25:05.520 work in your schools.

01:25:07.280 There are people that

01:25:08.220 work in government.

01:25:09.080 There are people that

01:25:09.820 coach teams.

01:25:10.820 There are all kinds of

01:25:11.680 people you would never

01:25:12.340 expect that are

01:25:14.080 involved in this stuff.

01:25:15.120 That's why it's so big.

01:25:16.040 It's like a $220 billion

01:25:17.840 a year industry, and

01:25:19.460 America is the number

01:25:20.380 one customer.

01:25:22.400 It's horrifying.

01:25:23.360 So, not to drag us

01:25:25.600 all the way down.

01:25:26.340 No, no, no.

01:25:26.900 I mean, I think it's,

01:25:28.100 you know, you have to

01:25:28.900 care about that.

01:25:29.500 You gotta write...

01:25:30.980 Writing a song like

01:25:32.680 that and putting it

01:25:33.420 out is, I believe,

01:25:35.580 a significant thing

01:25:36.440 to do.

01:25:38.260 That's not something

01:25:39.100 you do for success.

01:25:40.120 That's something you do

01:25:40.920 for significance, back

01:25:42.000 to the beginning of our

01:25:42.860 conversation.

01:25:44.140 Because once I put it

01:25:45.340 out there, it's out

01:25:46.180 there forever.

01:25:47.120 Music is permanent, and

01:25:48.820 it sticks.

01:25:49.940 They don't forget

01:25:50.500 about it.

01:25:51.640 And I'm hoping that it

01:25:53.040 yields results on many

01:25:54.400 levels.

01:25:55.140 I hope that it wakes

01:25:55.920 parents up.

01:25:56.960 I hope that parents go

01:25:57.920 on and look at that

01:25:58.640 video we did with DHS,

01:26:00.140 and they go to their

01:26:00.740 kids' phones and go,

01:26:02.000 haha, we're changing

01:26:03.140 all that.

01:26:03.660 They can't even get to

01:26:04.460 you now.

01:26:05.020 That needs to happen.

01:26:06.500 And then I hope

01:26:07.220 extreme funding starts

01:26:09.220 rolling in, that this

01:26:11.060 song will start a

01:26:11.800 dialogue that big.

01:26:13.460 That's why I made it

01:26:14.400 so jarring, and that's

01:26:15.720 why I made that lyric

01:26:16.660 the way it is.

01:26:17.360 The lyric is accurate.

01:26:19.500 Give your soul to

01:26:20.140 Jesus while I get my

01:26:21.260 gun, because I know

01:26:22.140 you're coming for my

01:26:22.960 kid, and you're not

01:26:24.000 going to survive this,

01:26:25.180 but I still hope you

01:26:26.080 don't go to hell.

01:26:28.440 Like, that's what the

01:26:29.100 good guy says.

01:26:30.020 Give your soul to

01:26:30.740 Jesus on your way

01:26:32.640 over, because this is

01:26:34.080 the last stop for you.

01:26:36.240 You know what I mean?

01:26:37.160 I do.

01:26:37.600 And I think that's

01:26:38.340 how most Americans,

01:26:40.900 especially Christian

01:26:41.680 Americans, they don't

01:26:42.540 want to ever have to be

01:26:43.400 in a position like that.

01:26:44.520 No.

01:26:45.000 But it's in them.

01:26:46.480 It's just God made

01:26:47.580 us that way.

01:26:48.220 You threaten your

01:26:48.780 children, yeah.

01:26:49.640 That's a different

01:26:50.500 thing.

01:26:50.920 God built us that way.

01:26:51.480 So I think this will

01:26:52.320 reverberate, and the

01:26:53.540 reason I think that is

01:26:55.140 because you're the only

01:26:56.040 singer I've ever

01:26:56.740 interviewed twice about

01:26:57.820 something other than

01:26:58.440 singing, is because the

01:27:01.540 last interview that we

01:27:02.420 did really had a

01:27:03.420 lasting effect on me.

01:27:05.140 You, when we did the

01:27:06.700 interview, it was about

01:27:07.360 your song, Revelation.

01:27:08.960 Yeah.

01:27:09.620 Which I thought was

01:27:10.260 great, but I didn't

01:27:11.600 understand, I still don't

01:27:12.480 fully understand a lot of

01:27:13.580 the theology around it.

01:27:14.320 It's not the world that I

01:27:15.000 come from, to put it

01:27:15.860 mildly, but you made a

01:27:18.320 point about something

01:27:18.880 called dispensational.

01:27:21.440 Dispensationalism.

01:27:21.860 Dispensationalism, yeah.

01:27:23.440 The theology of

01:27:24.400 dispensation, and you

01:27:27.020 criticized, and you said

01:27:27.900 you don't think it's

01:27:28.300 biblical, and I wasn't

01:27:30.100 exactly sure what you're

01:27:30.840 talking about when we

01:27:31.960 had the conversation, but

01:27:33.140 it set off a chain

01:27:33.900 reaction in me.

01:27:34.600 I learned a lot, much

01:27:35.180 more about it, and it

01:27:36.640 really did change my

01:27:37.460 views.

01:27:38.460 But in that

01:27:39.200 conversation, you said,

01:27:40.640 there are a lot of

01:27:41.400 preachers who will hate

01:27:42.300 this, and I've never

01:27:44.400 met any preacher, you

01:27:46.260 know, who even knows

01:27:46.780 what that is.

01:27:47.280 So it's like, it's

01:27:47.880 again, not my world.

01:27:49.140 Right.

01:27:49.280 My question is, what

01:27:50.140 was the effect, the

01:27:51.340 aftermath of that

01:27:52.140 interview?

01:27:52.880 A lot of preachers

01:27:53.500 hated what I had to

01:27:54.160 say.

01:27:54.440 They did, did they?

01:27:56.020 Yeah.

01:27:56.600 Did you hear about it?

01:27:57.560 Oh, I went on YouTube

01:27:58.740 and I couldn't watch them

01:27:59.880 all.

01:28:00.100 There were so many of

01:28:00.860 them.

01:28:01.120 I mean, some of them

01:28:01.780 were 10 minutes long,

01:28:02.640 some of them were two

01:28:03.200 hours long.

01:28:05.140 Responding to your

01:28:05.820 views?

01:28:06.220 Oh, yeah.

01:28:06.700 Some of them were

01:28:07.300 sermons where they would

01:28:08.320 bring it up.

01:28:08.880 I know you've

01:28:09.420 probably seen this

01:28:10.180 song, Revelation, and

01:28:12.160 let's, I just want to

01:28:12.940 go into that.

01:28:13.420 Anybody that says that,

01:28:14.660 what John Rich is saying

01:28:15.880 is a heretic.

01:28:17.200 Actually?

01:28:17.740 That's a bad word.

01:28:18.640 That's a really bad

01:28:19.280 word, a heretic.

01:28:20.700 Yeah.

01:28:21.160 And it's false teaching

01:28:22.520 and it's false doctrine

01:28:23.660 and it's, but he's a

01:28:24.900 false, false, false,

01:28:26.140 false, also a terrible

01:28:27.480 word.

01:28:27.960 I'm anything but false.

01:28:30.060 I have my faults.

01:28:31.600 False is not one of

01:28:32.660 them.

01:28:32.840 I've noticed, yeah.

01:28:34.980 And so I went, well,

01:28:36.360 we hit the mark with

01:28:37.680 that because, you know,

01:28:39.780 their congregations are

01:28:41.040 now going, I'm going

01:28:43.940 to go read Matthew

01:28:44.920 24.

01:28:45.640 John said, go read it.

01:28:47.360 I don't really know

01:28:48.000 what it says, so I'm

01:28:49.060 going to go read it.

01:28:49.560 Right.

01:28:49.960 And I'm telling you,

01:28:51.000 man, I have had

01:28:52.440 thousands of people

01:28:54.140 online on social media

01:28:56.480 hit me up and say, I

01:28:58.260 just read Matthew 24

01:28:59.540 twice like you said, and

01:29:00.800 it absolutely says that.

01:29:02.940 That is just what it

01:29:04.020 says.

01:29:04.480 I can't believe I ever

01:29:05.580 thought it was

01:29:06.560 different than that.

01:29:08.220 Like the whole point of

01:29:09.660 it for people that don't

01:29:10.460 know what that is,

01:29:11.200 dispensationalism is

01:29:12.740 basically saying that

01:29:14.300 before the tribulation

01:29:15.640 hits, before things get

01:29:16.820 really, really bad for

01:29:17.900 Christians on the earth,

01:29:18.940 that they will be

01:29:19.860 raptured out of here.

01:29:20.880 They'll be pulled out

01:29:21.600 before the really bad

01:29:22.480 stuff happens.

01:29:23.580 And it doesn't say that.

01:29:25.640 And actually, Jesus lists

01:29:26.780 off all these things that

01:29:28.120 are going to happen prior

01:29:29.580 to his return.

01:29:30.600 And the wrath that

01:29:33.340 Christians will be

01:29:34.380 living under during the

01:29:35.540 tribulation is the

01:29:36.940 devil's wrath.

01:29:38.340 We're not spared from

01:29:39.520 the devil's wrath.

01:29:41.420 We're spared from God's

01:29:42.880 wrath.

01:29:44.080 And God's wrath is

01:29:45.000 final.

01:29:45.880 That's when whoever's

01:29:47.860 left at that point gets

01:29:49.060 pulled out and then God

01:29:50.380 pours his wrath out and

01:29:51.840 the whole thing gets

01:29:52.800 wiped out.

01:29:53.520 And then he rebuilds it

01:29:54.740 and that's a whole other

01:29:56.200 story.

01:29:57.860 But American Christians

01:29:59.100 and American preachers

01:30:00.320 don't want to have to

01:30:01.620 think about the fact that

01:30:02.640 they're going to have to

01:30:03.280 go through something

01:30:03.980 difficult.

01:30:04.740 Well, I'm sorry.

01:30:05.880 Why don't you take a

01:30:06.680 little trip around the

01:30:07.860 globe and go meet with

01:30:08.860 some Christians who are

01:30:10.180 literally meeting in caves

01:30:12.120 and under and in

01:30:13.340 basements of houses.

01:30:14.500 And if they're caught,

01:30:15.740 they're murdered or in

01:30:16.920 prison for the rest of

01:30:17.780 their life or chopped up

01:30:19.280 into pieces like what's

01:30:20.300 going on in Syria right

01:30:21.360 now.

01:30:22.000 They just hack them up or

01:30:23.320 go down to Africa where

01:30:24.940 there's Christians and

01:30:26.100 mainly Muslim dominated

01:30:27.740 countries and they're

01:30:28.620 actually practicing

01:30:29.440 Christians.

01:30:30.200 You know what happens

01:30:30.880 to them?

01:30:31.340 They steal all their

01:30:32.340 kids.

01:30:32.800 They hack up all the men

01:30:33.760 and women and they move

01:30:34.640 on and that village is

01:30:36.020 just gone.

01:30:37.240 And you're telling me

01:30:38.360 that fat, lazy American

01:30:40.420 Christians have more of a

01:30:43.540 right to be spared pain

01:30:46.240 than those people?

01:30:48.580 Those people are

01:30:49.480 worshiping Jesus Christ

01:30:50.580 knowing it could

01:30:51.240 absolutely cost them their

01:30:52.620 life and they're doing it

01:30:54.180 anyway.

01:30:54.560 They are elite to us.

01:30:58.400 They are giants of

01:31:00.940 Christians in these other

01:31:02.300 places.

01:31:02.880 Yes, I agree with that.

01:31:03.840 Yes, they are elite.

01:31:05.840 They are God's elite

01:31:07.040 Christians.

01:31:08.160 We are not.

01:31:09.660 We're in America.

01:31:10.480 We have a constitution

01:31:11.240 that protects us from

01:31:12.360 things like that happening

01:31:13.240 to us, right?

01:31:14.820 You can't do that to

01:31:15.820 Christians in the United

01:31:16.520 States.

01:31:17.380 Now they can come after

01:31:18.400 you and call you bad

01:31:19.120 names, blah, blah.

01:31:19.800 That's not real

01:31:20.400 persecution.

01:31:21.880 And so I take real issue

01:31:23.340 with Christians that say

01:31:24.240 God would never make us

01:31:25.360 go through that.

01:31:26.140 I'm like, what Bible

01:31:27.060 are you reading?

01:31:29.740 The 12 disciples were

01:31:31.320 pretty tight with Jesus.

01:31:32.940 Were they spared?

01:31:36.340 No.

01:31:37.960 I would say the 12

01:31:39.060 disciples were probably

01:31:40.160 tighter with Jesus than

01:31:41.240 any 12 men that ever

01:31:42.280 lived, more than likely,

01:31:43.840 right?

01:31:44.280 He was tight with some

01:31:45.380 other ones too.

01:31:46.480 Paul and Daniel and,

01:31:48.180 you know, King David and

01:31:49.080 all that.

01:31:49.440 But the 12 disciples

01:31:50.760 all wound up either

01:31:52.720 being hung, beheaded,

01:31:55.640 imprisoned for the rest

01:31:56.460 of their lives, whatever.

01:31:57.640 Impaled.

01:31:58.540 Impaled.

01:31:59.420 Really bad things.

01:32:00.560 Crucified.

01:32:01.140 Yeah.

01:32:01.700 I mean, they crucified

01:32:02.360 the Son of God.

01:32:04.140 I mean, if anybody was

01:32:05.060 going to be spared from

01:32:06.140 pain, don't you think it

01:32:07.860 would be the actual Son of

01:32:09.520 God?

01:32:11.480 Don't you think he would

01:32:12.580 have been spared?

01:32:13.580 You'd think you'd get a

01:32:14.200 pass on that.

01:32:14.780 I'm sorry, do American

01:32:15.400 Christians outrank Jesus

01:32:16.880 Christ?

01:32:19.440 What an arrogant

01:32:21.480 attitude that is.

01:32:22.820 There's also a kind of

01:32:24.440 fragile response to all

01:32:26.980 that.

01:32:27.380 Like, you know, so you

01:32:28.820 make these points and

01:32:30.100 then they call you a

01:32:30.740 heretic for saying that?

01:32:31.560 That's fine.

01:32:32.180 Call me that.

01:32:33.440 The Pharisees and

01:32:34.260 Sadducees called Jesus

01:32:35.420 all kinds of names.

01:32:37.460 They can't stand it when

01:32:38.840 you call them out.

01:32:40.640 It really hits them the

01:32:42.260 wrong way, which is

01:32:43.460 great.

01:32:44.580 It should hit them the

01:32:45.580 wrong way because they

01:32:47.120 are wrong and they know

01:32:48.040 that they are.

01:32:49.440 And they bought into

01:32:50.840 centuries of that spin on

01:32:54.880 that particular subject.

01:32:56.340 And it's just most

01:32:57.700 Christians don't think

01:32:59.780 that there's anything

01:33:02.100 wrong with it because

01:33:02.860 they've always been

01:33:03.560 taught that.

01:33:04.240 They don't know that

01:33:05.620 that's not right.

01:33:07.020 So it's just ignorance on

01:33:08.740 their part.

01:33:09.160 They just don't know.

01:33:10.520 But the real simple

01:33:11.720 trick is, my man, pick up

01:33:13.820 the Bible and read what it

01:33:15.600 says.

01:33:16.160 Just read it.

01:33:17.020 Just read it down and

01:33:18.580 then read it slower and

01:33:19.900 then read it a third time

01:33:21.080 and sit there and think

01:33:22.400 about it.

01:33:22.800 It goes, it says all these

01:33:24.760 things are going to happen

01:33:25.720 before he shows back up.

01:33:28.320 And if I'm alive when those

01:33:30.080 things are happening, I'm

01:33:32.320 going to live through that.

01:33:33.560 And the real problem is

01:33:34.740 telling people that they're

01:33:35.720 going to be raptured out of

01:33:36.880 here before, for instance,

01:33:39.100 the Antichrist shows up or

01:33:40.380 before the mark of the

01:33:41.700 beast is implemented.

01:33:42.820 They think they'll be gone

01:33:43.860 before those things happen.

01:33:45.320 Well, that's not true.

01:33:46.300 They won't be gone before

01:33:47.300 it happens.

01:33:47.820 So what danger does that

01:33:49.140 put them in?

01:33:50.340 That means if they're alive

01:33:51.580 on the earth when the mark

01:33:53.120 of the beast is implemented

01:33:54.220 and when the Antichrist shows

01:33:56.300 up and makes himself known

01:33:57.540 and they're still here,

01:33:59.040 they're not going to think

01:33:59.920 that's the Antichrist and

01:34:01.140 they're not going to think

01:34:01.900 that's the mark of the beast.

01:34:03.460 And I believe that's part of

01:34:04.480 the great deception that

01:34:06.080 is talked about in the

01:34:06.960 New Testament.

01:34:07.940 He says, be as wise as

01:34:09.540 serpents.

01:34:10.960 Jesus said that, like,

01:34:12.660 the deception is going to

01:34:14.000 be so convincing that even

01:34:17.300 some of the elect, meaning

01:34:18.740 the elite Christians, the

01:34:20.840 ones that really know, even

01:34:22.520 they, it could be possible

01:34:25.540 to even deceive them.

01:34:27.260 That's how close the

01:34:29.380 counterfeit move will be

01:34:31.460 made.

01:34:32.060 It is going to be something

01:34:33.640 else.

01:34:34.360 And if you have been

01:34:35.160 believing wrong information

01:34:36.740 and believing a spin

01:34:38.620 narrative that, that's put

01:34:40.040 on the end times, you were

01:34:42.400 in harm's way at that

01:34:43.380 point.

01:34:46.360 Yeah, that's interesting.

01:34:48.080 Why do you think, what was

01:34:49.360 the purpose of this

01:34:50.120 deception?

01:34:51.800 Like this fault, what you

01:34:52.900 call false theology?

01:34:54.640 Well, what it did was, is

01:34:56.360 they, they figured out that

01:34:57.860 if they would, if they

01:34:59.260 would preach in a way that

01:35:01.500 didn't make people

01:35:02.260 uncomfortable and told, it

01:35:04.140 actually was twofold, make

01:35:05.620 them not feel uncomfortable

01:35:06.740 about it, they would come

01:35:07.780 back to church the following

01:35:08.640 week.

01:35:09.180 Yeah.

01:35:09.600 And the church would get

01:35:10.340 bigger.

01:35:10.840 Marketing scheme.

01:35:12.020 Yeah.

01:35:13.060 And the other side of it,

01:35:14.560 which actually I think had a

01:35:15.780 positive effect, was they

01:35:17.120 would say, the rapture could

01:35:19.120 happen before this church

01:35:20.460 service is over.

01:35:21.780 So you better give your life

01:35:23.100 to Jesus right now, because

01:35:25.080 this time tomorrow, it could

01:35:27.580 happen.

01:35:28.420 Well, that created a sense

01:35:29.640 of immediacy for people

01:35:31.620 like, well, I don't want to

01:35:32.580 get left behind.

01:35:33.780 I don't want to get left

01:35:34.560 behind.

01:35:34.980 And they would go down and

01:35:35.940 they would get saved.

01:35:36.800 They'd give their life to

01:35:37.520 Jesus.

01:35:37.820 That's great.

01:35:39.640 Right.

01:35:39.840 So that, that was a positive

01:35:41.180 result of it.

01:35:42.380 But that you're talking about

01:35:43.700 hundreds of years now, we're

01:35:44.880 in 2025, we've got AI about

01:35:47.260 to show up.

01:35:48.620 You know, you wonder how my

01:35:50.320 dad, who's been preaching

01:35:51.280 since he was 19 years old, said

01:35:53.040 we never could understand how in

01:35:55.860 the book of Revelation, how

01:35:58.200 they could monitor every human

01:36:00.500 being on the earth, because

01:36:01.540 that's what they would have to

01:36:02.380 do to implement the mark of

01:36:03.620 the beast.

01:36:04.180 You can't buy or sell unless

01:36:05.660 you have the mark.

01:36:06.520 Right.

01:36:07.440 When he goes, which can

01:36:08.400 understand how that even be,

01:36:09.320 how would you implement that?

01:36:11.040 And then he goes, well, of

01:36:12.520 course, now, I mean,

01:36:14.500 everybody's monitored all the

01:36:15.700 time and that's not even a

01:36:17.560 question.

01:36:18.260 So all the technology and the

01:36:20.320 technology that is yet to come

01:36:22.340 and that yet to be deployed

01:36:23.480 anyway, it's already here, but

01:36:25.700 yet to be deployed.

01:36:27.220 That's all going to be, that's

01:36:28.400 all going to be used in the

01:36:29.600 tribulation.

01:36:30.560 That will be used.

01:36:31.540 So it sounds like from your

01:36:32.900 perspective, we're getting

01:36:33.800 pretty close.

01:36:35.500 Everything that needs to exist

01:36:37.120 for it to happen exists now,

01:36:38.820 but it's up to God.

01:36:40.340 He could hold it off for a

01:36:41.300 thousand years, but it sure

01:36:42.760 don't look like it.

01:36:44.280 There are American Christians,

01:36:46.760 including in Texas, where you're

01:36:48.240 from, working very hard, raising

01:36:50.360 a lot of money to build a third

01:36:51.640 temple in Jerusalem on the

01:36:53.480 Temple Mount.

01:36:53.980 What do you think of that?

01:36:55.700 Um, when, when it's very

01:37:03.220 important in the Bible to go

01:37:04.680 back and look up the original

01:37:06.940 language of what was said,

01:37:09.600 because it may say something a

01:37:12.420 little different than what the

01:37:13.740 English version of it says.

01:37:15.360 Um, I think that human beings

01:37:19.680 that try to, um, instigate on

01:37:24.820 their own accord, instigate

01:37:26.540 bringing on what Revelation talks

01:37:29.340 about and what Daniel talked

01:37:30.620 about, they go out purposefully to

01:37:33.060 instigate it.

01:37:33.980 Uh, really hits me in a wrong way.

01:37:43.160 Because they're not God.

01:37:44.300 They don't get to decide.

01:37:45.320 They're not God.

01:37:45.660 They don't get to decide what

01:37:46.760 happens.

01:37:48.660 They just don't.

01:37:50.000 We, we don't, that's, that's up to

01:37:52.520 him, how he wants to see that roll

01:37:54.940 out.

01:37:55.180 And so I, I find it strange that

01:37:57.360 human beings think that they can

01:37:58.740 usurp God's planning and his

01:38:01.320 authority and his timeline.

01:38:03.240 That's how it appears to me

01:38:04.460 anyway.

01:38:05.360 So when people say, we're going to

01:38:06.680 bring about the end of history, the

01:38:08.160 end of time by doing this.

01:38:10.160 We're going to force Jesus to come

01:38:11.320 back when we want him to come back.

01:38:13.760 You're not on board with that.

01:38:14.840 No, I'm not.

01:38:17.760 No, you don't force Jesus Christ to

01:38:19.800 do anything.

01:38:22.560 If you had to guess, my last

01:38:23.980 question, if you had to guess where

01:38:25.600 your life goes in the next five or

01:38:28.520 10 years, what would your guess be?

01:38:31.920 Um, I hope.

01:38:33.900 Because I've rarely met a more

01:38:34.820 intense, self-driven person.

01:38:39.840 I would hope that, um,

01:38:42.640 I continue to do what I am told

01:38:47.620 no matter how difficult it is.

01:38:51.360 If he wants me to do it and shows

01:38:53.320 me, I want you to go do that, that

01:38:55.140 I will have the fortitude, which he

01:38:57.260 also has to give you.

01:38:58.520 You have to ask for that too.

01:38:59.780 You don't have your own fortitude.

01:39:01.500 You don't have anything, Tucker.

01:39:02.760 You have literally nothing.

01:39:05.220 You have nothing.

01:39:07.740 You have to ask him for all of it.

01:39:11.480 Um,

01:39:11.840 that he would grant me the fortitude

01:39:14.740 to follow through on what it is he

01:39:16.440 wants me to do.

01:39:17.900 And my, my real, just what I feel

01:39:20.840 like my role is right now is to

01:39:23.300 have conversations like this in front

01:39:27.260 of millions of people because they're

01:39:29.740 not going to hear it generally in

01:39:32.080 their church.

01:39:32.660 They're not going to hear it

01:39:33.860 anywhere.

01:39:35.520 They're just not going to hear it.

01:39:36.780 And I have no agenda with this.

01:39:39.600 You know what I mean?

01:39:40.420 I don't have a church.

01:39:41.240 I'm not a preacher.

01:39:42.120 I'm not running for politics.

01:39:43.200 I'm not doing any of those things.

01:39:44.740 I'm a guy with no record deal, no

01:39:46.220 publishing deal.

01:39:47.040 I'm a dad.

01:39:48.100 I have a guitar.

01:39:49.060 I know how to write songs.

01:39:50.420 I can perform them.

01:39:51.880 I can, I can take things that need to

01:39:53.700 be said and put it into the form of

01:39:55.420 music and put it out there and

01:39:57.960 hopefully have serious, serious

01:40:00.800 impact in two directions.

01:40:02.720 One, for the good people, the

01:40:05.740 righteous people out there to make

01:40:07.560 them think, to flick light bulbs on in

01:40:09.920 their head, go, wait, what did he just

01:40:11.280 say?

01:40:11.620 What did that song do?

01:40:12.640 And open them up to receive the real

01:40:15.480 truth of what's going on.

01:40:17.400 And second fold on that is to put the

01:40:20.140 most fear humanly and spiritually

01:40:24.200 possible into the hearts of the devil's

01:40:26.620 people, of his army.

01:40:29.240 I want them to be, I want them to be

01:40:33.120 able to not sleep at night.

01:40:34.580 I want them to run and cower in fear

01:40:38.960 because they know who's, who they're up

01:40:41.800 against.

01:40:42.480 And we have to announce ourselves.

01:40:44.740 We have to tell them who we are and we

01:40:46.560 have to call them what they are.

01:40:49.720 They're not somebody with a mental

01:40:51.280 problem.

01:40:53.380 They are a servant of their father.

01:40:55.640 They are carrying out their father's

01:40:57.700 business and that's what they are.

01:40:59.840 And guess what?

01:41:00.660 They all have a chance to repent.

01:41:02.340 As long as they got one breath left,

01:41:04.080 they can repent and they can turn.

01:41:05.700 And I pray that they do.

01:41:07.920 But if they're not going to, and they're

01:41:10.200 going to stay on the route that they're

01:41:11.420 on, and they're going to come for our

01:41:12.640 kids, then they're going to have to deal

01:41:14.140 with us.

01:41:15.060 It's just who is us?

01:41:16.860 Us have to make ourselves clear.

01:41:20.940 The song is meant to clarify to them, to

01:41:23.920 the Sean Combs's of the world, who you're

01:41:26.680 talking to.

01:41:28.520 Because I don't think you really understand

01:41:30.520 it fully.

01:41:32.580 And I like that thought.
