The Tucker Carlson Show - Russell Brand & John Rich： The Mass Christian Awakening, Discernment Through God, & Lies About Iran

00:00:00.000 One of our plans when we started TCN was to run great long-form content,

00:00:04.320 documentaries and topics that other people were ignoring.

00:00:07.040 Well, we have the best so far.

00:00:09.820 It's called Wine in the Sand, and it's by James O'Keefe,

00:00:13.440 one of the last brave and honest journalists in this country.

00:00:16.840 How brave?

00:00:17.680 James O'Keefe embedded with the cartels as they moved migrants engaging in human trafficking

00:00:23.940 at the largest scale in modern times from Latin America to the United States.

00:00:28.080 He embedded with the cartels, with hidden cameras,

00:00:31.400 and the result is this documentary, Wine in the Sand,

00:00:34.240 which we are proud to run exclusively on TCN.

00:00:37.220 Wine in the Sand, October 10th. Highly recommended.

00:00:43.480 Thank you.

00:00:45.800 Every night, this is our 14th or 15th city,

00:00:51.980 and every night I've been traveling with the Sambrosa guys.

00:00:55.480 The best. Absolutely the best.

00:00:58.580 Thank you all for showing.

00:00:59.780 I'm amazed there's anyone here, given the weather.

00:01:02.980 Thank you.

00:01:04.720 I know this.

00:01:08.020 I've been getting videos all day from my neighbors and people in Florida,

00:01:13.280 and I'm just, I'm sorry about what happened,

00:01:15.900 and I'm just, I know a lot of you had to drive through the muck to get here,

00:01:20.980 so thank you very much.

00:01:22.340 I'm grateful to be back in Florida.

00:01:27.720 Well, I love you too. Thank you.

00:01:32.280 We went on this tour for a bunch of different reasons,

00:01:35.320 the most obvious being you can't censor a live event.

00:01:38.820 Mark Zuckerberg can't get in the way, so that's pretty great.

00:01:42.460 Another was to feel better about what's actually happening in the country.

00:01:47.740 Is it as bad as the Internet tells us it is?

00:01:50.120 No, not at all.

00:01:51.780 It's a great country filled with happy people despite everything.

00:01:56.440 Every city we've been to from the East Coast to the West Coast

00:02:00.320 and everything in between, back to Florida,

00:02:02.720 every city we've been to, we haven't, I don't think I've met one nasty person.

00:02:05.560 Everybody's been nice, not just to me, but to each other.

00:02:08.540 And you're just reminded it's a, you know, it's a great place.

00:02:11.900 And accounts of America's collapse are absurd

00:02:15.320 and probably part of a psyop that we should not fall for.

00:02:19.460 And the third reason we went on the road was honestly to see what's true.

00:02:24.300 If there's one marker of this moment, it's deception.

00:02:29.920 Oh no, you are hot. I can't even see you.

00:02:32.620 You can't say naughty things to me.

00:02:35.560 Ha ha ha ha ha. I'm a married man.

00:02:39.640 Plus, I don't have my glasses on and I'm backlit.

00:02:42.840 So all I hear is the darkness barking naughty things at me.

00:02:47.460 But it's hilarious. Thank you.

00:02:49.240 I'm 55, so I'll take the compliment.

00:02:53.480 But it's true.

00:02:55.140 I think there's every person in this room has had the same moment

00:02:58.740 over the last five years

00:03:00.280 where you realize that something I told you was totally insane. 1.00

00:03:04.160 Like, you're crazy. You're a conspiracy nut. 1.00

00:03:06.760 And then you just realize one day, well, actually, that's true.

00:03:09.700 And if that's true, what else is true?

00:03:11.980 And what else is false?

00:03:13.700 And what else have they been lying to me about?

00:03:15.540 If it's not actually safe and effective, what else is a lie?

00:03:18.900 And I doubt there's a single person in this room who hasn't had that experience.

00:03:23.800 And you go through stages of it, just like any moment of grief.

00:03:27.840 And the first one is thinking, well, you know,

00:03:29.500 am I the only person who realizes what's going on?

00:03:32.480 And you're sitting, you know, like alone in your den at two in the morning on your phone.

00:03:36.880 And you're like, oh, my gosh.

00:03:38.920 You know, the whole thing is a lie.

00:03:40.860 It's an op.

00:03:41.580 And you feel like you're going crazy.

00:03:42.880 And you think, well, maybe no one else sees this.

00:03:46.260 And then you come to an event like this.

00:03:47.560 And you look around at all these incredibly nice people.

00:03:49.920 And you realize, no, not only am I not alone, not only am I not alone, I'm not weird.

00:03:58.200 I'm not a freak.

00:03:59.400 I'm not a conspiracy nut.

00:04:01.060 I don't care what Wikipedia tells me.

00:04:04.480 I'm like a totally normal person.

00:04:06.420 And I know that because everyone sitting around me is a totally normal person.

00:04:11.300 People who, like, love their children more than anything.

00:04:15.220 That's not weird.

00:04:15.980 Not only is that not weird, that's the most normal, wholesome, good thing there is.

00:04:23.840 And it's just nice to be reminded of that.

00:04:27.340 But then the next question you have is, okay, if everything I've been hearing is untrue,

00:04:33.000 certainly a lot of the big things are just completely untrue.

00:04:35.980 And no matter how much they yell at me and demand that I believe them, they're still untrue.

00:04:41.360 I don't care what you call me.

00:04:42.940 It's not safe and effective.

00:04:44.440 Sorry.

00:04:45.980 So the question really becomes, how do I know what's true?

00:04:54.680 And how do I know what's false?

00:04:56.720 And that's really the point of tonight.

00:04:59.260 Every single night we've had has had a kind of different point, at least in my head, as conceived in the shower.

00:05:04.340 And tonight I've been really brooding on that question, how do you know what's true?

00:05:09.400 And we have two amazing guests.

00:05:12.040 And I think the point of the conversation will be, how do you know what's true and how do you know what's false?

00:05:15.600 And both of them are friends of mine, like actual friends of mine, like late night text friends of mine.

00:05:21.440 But also men of deep experience in the entertainment business.

00:05:24.860 Talk about a hall of mirrors.

00:05:26.000 You think your world is crazy.

00:05:29.540 And they're men of deep faith, John Rich and Russell Brand.

00:05:33.380 So they'll be joining us and we're going to talk about that.

00:05:36.060 But I just, I was obsessing over this today because I never watch television.

00:05:41.400 We don't have a television just to try to keep the deception at a low roar in my house.

00:05:45.520 The first thing you can do is throw your television out the window.

00:05:49.880 And then once it's on the ground outside the second floor window, jump on it and then run your truck over it and then set it on fire.

00:05:57.720 And that is a good first step toward getting closer to the truth.

00:06:02.760 In other words, don't just get rid of it, but destroy it in a symbolic way.

00:06:08.120 Offer it up as an offering to the gods of truth. 0.98

00:06:11.700 You're going to kill your television.

00:06:13.380 But I happen to be in a hotel room where they come standard and you're not allowed to destroy them because this isn't actually Led Zeppelin 1977.

00:06:21.620 You don't get to throw them out the window onto the pool deck because you get arrested.

00:06:25.780 So I didn't.

00:06:27.100 And I turned it on just to see what they were saying, what lies they were telling.

00:06:30.200 And I sat there slack-jawed as they explained to me totally seriously that the real threat that former President Donald Trump faces is from Iran.

00:06:40.200 Because they're trying to kill him.

00:06:41.900 They're trying to assassinate him. 0.95

00:06:43.820 And everyone on the screen said, oh yeah, yeah, Iran's the threat.

00:06:46.560 I'm thinking, I mean, I don't know anything about Iran.

00:06:48.240 I'm sure they're threatening.

00:06:49.020 I'm sure they're bad.

00:06:49.820 Not here to endorse Iran.

00:06:52.300 Hardly.

00:06:53.740 Having spent three years being called a puppet of Putin, I just want to say ahead of time I'm not a puppet of the Ayatollah, whatever his name is.

00:07:03.440 Not a Shiite. 1.00

00:07:04.340 So I'm not carrying water for the Ayatollah when I say that that's probably not true.

00:07:12.120 And how do I know that's not true?

00:07:13.480 In fact, it's so not true that it was a little bit baffling watching all these kind of serious-looking national security experts on the television telling me, oh no, it's Iran.

00:07:22.240 And my tip-off was, well, they tried to kill Trump twice in the past six weeks, and it wasn't Iran.

00:07:29.060 In fact, the last guy who tried to kill Trump was a neocon, actually.

00:07:38.640 The same people who want war with Iran.

00:07:41.280 In fact, how do I know he was a neocon?

00:07:43.300 Because he literally moved to Ukraine to fight.

00:07:45.700 Okay, so he had exactly the same politics as Lindsey Graham.

00:07:50.960 I'm not attacking Lindsey Graham, I'm just saying.

00:07:54.280 So there was that guy, and then, boo, boo, boo.

00:07:57.060 Okay, I'm not, you know, fine.

00:07:59.640 But he wasn't Iranian.

00:08:03.520 Again, not carrying water for the Iranians.

00:08:08.760 I'm probably one of the few people in this room old enough to remember the 1979 hostage crisis.

00:08:12.520 I never thought I, you know, would be defending them.

00:08:15.200 But in this narrow way, I will say, they didn't do that, nor did they climb onto the roof of a building

00:08:20.480 130 yards away from Trump during a rally in Butler Township earlier this summer 0.96

00:08:25.940 and take a shot at him, shoot him in the face, and kill the guy right behind him. 1.00

00:08:30.440 That was not the Iranians. 1.00

00:08:32.320 That was a liberal.

00:08:34.400 And he was allowed to do that because the Secret Service, which is controlled by the Biden administration,

00:08:40.260 let him do that, okay?

00:08:42.340 So you can say, well, are you alleging a conspiracy?

00:08:47.200 No, I'm just telling you what happened.

00:08:49.760 I've spent my life at events controlled by the Secret Service because I cover politics.

00:08:54.200 And I can promise you that no one with a rangefinder is allowed through the magnetometer

00:08:57.740 because a rangefinder is for shooting people.

00:08:59.440 So when you carry a rangefinder through and they bust you but then just let you do it,

00:09:05.000 and then they let you crawl up onto a roof 130 yards away with a .223,

00:09:10.820 they're letting you shoot the guy.

00:09:13.020 And that's exactly what they did. 0.84

00:09:14.320 And nobody for some reason wants to say that, but it's just a fact.

00:09:17.000 So you can, you know, you can draw whatever conclusions you want,

00:09:24.340 but the one conclusion no honest person can draw is that Iran is doing that.

00:09:29.040 No, Iran's not doing that.

00:09:30.660 The Biden administration did that.

00:09:32.520 And the people who tried to kill Trump are Democrats.

00:09:36.680 They're not Iranians, okay? 1.00

00:09:38.460 And so it speaks to a larger problem, which is even now,

00:09:45.420 21 years after they told us Saddam had weapons of mass destruction,

00:09:49.220 spoiler alert, he didn't,

00:09:52.720 four years after they told us that, you know,

00:09:55.640 the COVID virus came from a pangolin,

00:09:59.440 which by the way, not to be, you know, a walking desk reference here,

00:10:04.200 is a mammal that was somehow being sold in a seafood market.

00:10:08.960 Remember that?

00:10:09.700 It came from a pangolin.

00:10:12.020 Oh, of course, it was a pangolin, another pangolin-born virus.

00:10:15.620 Something we dealt with a lot growing up in Southern California.

00:10:19.240 I remember my mother saying, just be careful of the pangolin.

00:10:21.380 You got to cook them, you know.

00:10:23.880 It's kind of a classic vector for coronavirus, the pangolin.

00:10:27.360 Stay away from the pangolin burger or get it at least medium well.

00:10:31.960 A pangolin, right?

00:10:33.320 It didn't come from the bio lab 400 yards away that was funded by Tony Fauci.

00:10:38.480 Definitely not.

00:10:41.080 Remember they told us that?

00:10:42.800 And if you're like, wait a second, wasn't there a bio lab right there?

00:10:46.920 Getting U.S. taxpayer funding working on gain of function

00:10:49.520 to make the coronavirus more dangerous? 0.99

00:10:52.020 Shut up. 0.97

00:10:52.860 Kind of like when they announced it in a Senate hearing on television 0.99

00:10:58.500 that there are all these bio labs in Ukraine,

00:11:00.360 and you're like, wait a second, why do you have bio labs in Ukraine? 0.99

00:11:02.720 Shut up! 1.00

00:11:04.480 Conspiracy theorist? 1.00

00:11:05.360 You just said that! 1.00

00:11:06.580 Shut up! 1.00

00:11:08.060 Racist. 1.00

00:11:11.140 Racist? 1.00

00:11:11.540 I thought the Ukrainians are white. 1.00

00:11:14.180 Shut up! 1.00

00:11:15.260 Anti-trans guy! 1.00

00:11:17.500 Okay.

00:11:18.300 Okay.

00:11:21.400 That all happened right in front of us.

00:11:24.140 Then, like, just take the shot.

00:11:25.280 It's totally safe and effective.

00:11:26.360 Once you take it,

00:11:27.540 you can't get COVID,

00:11:28.540 and you definitely can transmit it.

00:11:30.140 Really, then,

00:11:32.840 how come you have COVID, Tony Fauci? 1.00

00:11:35.300 Shut up! 1.00

00:11:36.400 You're trying to kill your grandmother. 1.00

00:11:37.920 I like my grandmother. 1.00

00:11:38.880 Shut up! 1.00

00:11:41.140 Okay. 1.00

00:11:42.120 So all of us saw all of that happen.

00:11:44.160 At a certain point,

00:11:44.880 you've got to think the people telling you to shut up, 0.97

00:11:46.940 shut up racist, that group, 0.67

00:11:49.400 they might not be telling the truth about everything. 1.00

00:11:51.580 Just throwing that out there.

00:11:53.420 Like, maybe Lindsey Graham's not totally on the level. 0.86

00:11:56.500 And yet, today, they're telling us that

00:12:00.260 Iran is really the threat. 1.00

00:12:02.120 It's not the threat that we see right in front of us,

00:12:04.560 which is them.

00:12:06.580 The ones who let them shoot Trump.

00:12:08.700 No, it's a country that most Americans

00:12:11.100 couldn't find on a map.

00:12:12.100 It definitely must be them.

00:12:14.040 And really, the only solution to this

00:12:16.900 is to go to war with them.

00:12:18.420 Because the one thing we definitely need

00:12:20.340 is more sort of pointless foreign wars

00:12:22.180 that we're going to lose.

00:12:23.000 Okay.

00:12:24.140 And you start to realize two things.

00:12:26.000 One, they're not very creative in their lies.

00:12:29.500 They'll just go back to exactly the same lies.

00:12:31.660 And when they do tell those lies,

00:12:33.360 everybody whose job it is to kind of screen for lies,

00:12:36.180 all the gatekeepers, all the fact checkers,

00:12:38.160 the guys who run Wikipedia,

00:12:40.760 the Snopes people,

00:12:42.020 they'll all sort of nod and be like,

00:12:43.180 yeah, that's right.

00:12:43.680 That's totally true.

00:12:46.040 And unfortunately, a lot of people

00:12:47.580 just will sort of believe it.

00:12:49.380 Like, some people don't seem to be learning the lesson,

00:12:51.780 which is you have to decide for yourself.

00:12:54.080 And the first line of defense,

00:12:55.260 when you're deciding whether something is true or false,

00:12:56.860 it's just common sense.

00:12:58.560 Does that make sense?

00:13:02.020 Does that make sense?

00:13:03.420 And here's one way I judge it.

00:13:04.960 So if the Biden administration,

00:13:06.600 which controls not just Trump's security,

00:13:09.720 but also his access to classified information,

00:13:12.400 because they control the intel agencies,

00:13:14.400 so if the Trump campaign wants to know what's going on,

00:13:16.140 they have to rely on the Biden administration to find out.

00:13:17.980 And if they want to protect themselves from that threat,

00:13:20.360 they need to rely on the Biden administration

00:13:21.540 to supply security.

00:13:22.900 That's actually how our system works.

00:13:24.540 I don't think that's a wise system, just saying.

00:13:27.640 But if what they were saying is true,

00:13:31.060 then they would,

00:13:31.960 if they really believed Donald Trump

00:13:33.800 was at risk of being shot out of the air

00:13:35.720 with a surface-tier missile,

00:13:36.720 that's what they're telling us now,

00:13:37.760 or being assassinated by an Iranian sleeper cell,

00:13:40.920 because I know my neighborhood has quite a few,

00:13:42.400 then they would be providing additional security, right?

00:13:47.940 But they're not.

00:13:49.640 They're providing so little security

00:13:51.340 that he can't have outdoor rallies,

00:13:53.080 because they're withholding security.

00:13:57.000 He had to cancel an outdoor event in Wisconsin last weekend

00:13:59.560 because they wouldn't provide enough security.

00:14:01.600 But if you actually believed

00:14:03.540 that one of the most famous people,

00:14:05.500 the most famous person in the world,

00:14:07.440 the guy who's ahead in the polls,

00:14:09.480 whatever they tell you, Trump is ahead.

00:14:13.220 The man most likely to be the next president

00:14:16.980 was at risk of being murdered by a foreign power.

00:14:20.640 You'd probably provide enough security.

00:14:22.460 And if you didn't have it,

00:14:23.800 because they were running around the country

00:14:25.260 protecting Dr. Jill,

00:14:27.180 which is what happened in Butler,

00:14:30.400 Dr. Jill was under grave, grave threat.

00:14:33.840 A lot of people are trying to stop Dr. Jill

00:14:35.580 before she heals again,

00:14:36.800 because as a doctor, that's what she does. 1.00

00:14:42.400 Dr. Jill, don't get me going.

00:14:46.700 How can one woman's ego trip 1.00

00:14:48.540 control a nation of 350 million people?

00:14:50.800 It's kind of amazing.

00:14:51.540 But anyway,

00:14:52.460 but if you really believe that

00:14:54.760 and you didn't have enough security

00:14:55.880 because they were with Dr. Jill

00:14:57.320 at a diversity conference in Knoxville,

00:14:59.160 you would bring in the National Guard

00:15:02.360 or maybe the 101st Airborne.

00:15:04.260 You would use the military

00:15:05.200 to protect the future president

00:15:08.260 from murder by a foreign power.

00:15:09.740 But they're not doing that.

00:15:12.060 They're saying this is happening.

00:15:14.600 The threat is so high

00:15:17.260 that you can't appear outside,

00:15:19.480 but we're not going to help you protect yourself

00:15:21.700 with security that you pay for.

00:15:25.680 I'm thinking this is not on the level

00:15:27.200 because that doesn't make any sense at all.

00:15:29.140 And if it does,

00:15:29.940 tell me how it makes sense.

00:15:31.780 And this is true

00:15:32.520 of virtually everything they say.

00:15:34.160 It's not hard to determine

00:15:35.780 whether it's true or false

00:15:36.900 because you just assess it

00:15:38.400 on the basis of like first grade logic.

00:15:42.120 And that's true for almost everything.

00:15:44.900 And they know it's true.

00:15:46.020 And that's why they spend so much time

00:15:48.000 trying to convince you 0.98

00:15:49.300 that you're insane 1.00

00:15:50.160 and trying to convince you 1.00

00:15:52.100 that your senses don't work.

00:15:54.640 That actually they hand you a hamburger

00:15:56.960 that smells like a dog bomb

00:15:58.600 and they're like,

00:15:58.900 no, it's really good. 0.99

00:16:00.900 It smells like dog crap. 0.99

00:16:01.900 I'm not eating that. 1.00

00:16:02.480 You must eat it because it's delicious.

00:16:04.160 But I feel like I'm going to vomit

00:16:07.040 when it gets to me. 1.00

00:16:07.700 Shut up and eat it. 1.00

00:16:09.280 There's something wrong with your palate. 1.00

00:16:11.740 There's nothing wrong with your palate.

00:16:13.320 Your nose works fine.

00:16:14.800 You know what's good or bad.

00:16:15.840 You know what's right or wrong

00:16:16.900 because you're born knowing.

00:16:18.960 All of us are.

00:16:21.000 We were born knowing what's right or wrong.

00:16:24.620 Our moral code is no different substantially

00:16:28.200 from the moral code that Hammurabi wrote

00:16:30.600 thousands of years ago.

00:16:32.260 Because it's in us.

00:16:34.180 We know.

00:16:35.780 And so the trick is to convince you

00:16:37.740 that you don't know

00:16:38.840 that you need Dr. Jill

00:16:40.980 or somebody else with a fake credential

00:16:42.740 to know what's right or wrong.

00:16:46.600 And you absolutely don't.

00:16:49.640 You don't and no free people does.

00:16:52.580 You are allowed to decide for yourself

00:16:55.260 on the basis of your values,

00:16:57.740 your senses,

00:16:58.480 and above all, your instincts.

00:17:00.480 And I tell my kids this all the time

00:17:02.280 and I really mean it.

00:17:03.920 Your instincts are designed to protect you.

00:17:06.860 They were given to you by God at birth

00:17:09.120 with one job.

00:17:10.040 And that job is not to get elected 1.00

00:17:12.620 to some stupid statewide office. 1.00

00:17:15.240 There's no senator instinct. 1.00

00:17:17.760 They're not trying to sell you a reverse mortgage.

00:17:20.860 Your instincts are not trying to get rich.

00:17:23.000 Your instincts only exist to protect and serve you.

00:17:26.680 That's it.

00:17:28.020 They're the most reliable guide you have.

00:17:30.860 So trust them.

00:17:32.740 Despite all the noise and all the noise,

00:17:35.320 if you actually think about it,

00:17:36.500 and it's my job to think about it,

00:17:37.560 all of it, all of it is designed

00:17:40.520 to get you to ignore what's obvious.

00:17:43.540 What's obvious.

00:17:45.540 And they do that for two reasons.

00:17:46.920 One, there's a certain power trip involved

00:17:49.300 in lying to people in a way that's so obvious

00:17:51.760 they know it's a lie,

00:17:52.560 but making them believe it anyway,

00:17:53.720 because really only God can do that.

00:17:56.000 And that's what they loved about COVID,

00:17:57.460 but it was so clear that everyone

00:17:58.960 who got the shot was still getting COVID.

00:18:01.300 They totally got off on preventing you

00:18:04.000 from saying that.

00:18:05.560 Because that's true power.

00:18:06.580 It's easy to fool someone.

00:18:08.960 It's much harder to get someone

00:18:10.200 to repeat a lie he knows is a lie.

00:18:12.580 Right?

00:18:13.060 And that made them feel powerful.

00:18:15.640 So that's the first thing.

00:18:17.500 The second thing is they try to make you feel

00:18:19.340 like there's something wrong with you,

00:18:20.680 that you're in some weird minority of people,

00:18:22.840 like some freaky subcategory

00:18:24.900 that just doesn't want to castrate kids. 1.00

00:18:28.240 What?

00:18:29.660 You don't want to castrate kids? 0.99

00:18:30.860 What's wrong with you, man?

00:18:32.540 This country was built on child castration. 0.93

00:18:35.040 We wouldn't have an America 1.00

00:18:38.320 without child castration. 0.95

00:18:40.340 Like, what?

00:18:41.000 And you're like, really?

00:18:43.020 Is that really a weird view?

00:18:44.160 Yes, it is.

00:18:46.860 You cannot allow them to do that.

00:18:49.220 And as I always tell my kids,

00:18:50.640 you know.

00:18:51.780 For example,

00:18:52.840 if you're talking to someone

00:18:54.800 and you get the creepy vibe,

00:18:57.720 like Tim Walls.

00:18:58.420 I'm just throwing that out there.

00:18:59.100 I've never met Tim Walls.

00:19:05.700 But the first second I was like,

00:19:07.580 man, I don't have enough evidence to indict you.

00:19:09.780 I'm not going to.

00:19:10.580 Okay? 0.99

00:19:11.920 But you're a creep. 0.63

00:19:14.140 I went to boarding school in New England

00:19:15.840 in the 1980s.

00:19:16.920 You were my dorm master.

00:19:18.200 I know exactly who you are.

00:19:19.740 I know exactly who you are.

00:19:22.180 There's no reason for you to be in the shower, Tim.

00:19:24.200 Please leave.

00:19:24.780 I felt that so overwhelmingly from him.

00:19:29.680 And then I thought to myself,

00:19:31.020 maybe I'm being unfair.

00:19:31.940 No, I'm not.

00:19:33.040 Again,

00:19:33.680 I'm not going to accuse him of anything specific.

00:19:36.280 I have zero evidence.

00:19:37.720 And I'm not going to bring charges against him

00:19:39.640 because I can't.

00:19:40.840 Right?

00:19:41.200 That's a process that requires proof.

00:19:42.820 I don't have proof.

00:19:44.280 All I have is my spidey senses

00:19:46.340 and they're never wrong.

00:19:48.360 And if I feel like you're a creep,

00:19:50.000 I don't know exactly what you're doing, 0.99

00:19:51.300 but you're doing something, you weirdo. 0.97

00:19:53.520 Because I can smell it. 0.97

00:19:54.780 And I always tell that to my children.

00:19:57.880 Don't let anyone convince you you're wrong.

00:19:59.780 You're never wrong.

00:20:01.360 Don't attack the person.

00:20:02.520 Just get away fast. 0.98

00:20:04.200 And don't get into his van.

00:20:05.940 Ever.

00:20:08.040 That's fair, right?

00:20:09.320 I don't care if it has heart-shaped windows

00:20:11.100 and funny bumper stickers.

00:20:12.760 Don't get into his van.

00:20:15.380 The same is also true for deception.

00:20:18.620 I don't know what you're lying about,

00:20:20.000 but I know you're lying.

00:20:21.000 I can feel it.

00:20:21.940 All of us have that power.

00:20:23.900 We were born with it.

00:20:25.360 We can smell deception

00:20:26.700 and we know when someone's telling the truth.

00:20:29.180 We can't always prove it.

00:20:30.420 Usually I can't prove it.

00:20:32.400 But if you've ever been around someone

00:20:33.980 who's saying something you've never thought of before,

00:20:35.860 but it's true,

00:20:37.580 it hits a different way.

00:20:39.360 It hums like a tuning fork.

00:20:41.360 You can feel it inside.

00:20:42.540 That's true.

00:20:43.860 I've never heard that before.

00:20:45.260 I have no evidence that that's true.

00:20:46.720 I've never even thought of that.

00:20:48.080 That is true.

00:20:48.920 I know that's true.

00:20:51.080 The truth,

00:20:52.520 and whoever's yelling yes,

00:20:53.760 yeah, baby.

00:20:55.380 Because that's the feeling you have inside

00:20:58.100 when you hear something that's true.

00:21:00.300 And they're always like,

00:21:01.560 have the fax checkers assessed?

00:21:02.880 That's not on Wikipedia.

00:21:03.940 That's not true.

00:21:05.560 The CIA hasn't vetted that.

00:21:07.640 That's a conspiracy theory.

00:21:09.840 Okay.

00:21:10.800 It's still true. 0.77

00:21:11.700 So this is creepy,

00:21:16.320 but it's true,

00:21:17.100 and it's worth knowing.

00:21:18.400 Every time you use the internet,

00:21:20.240 you are being watched.

00:21:21.420 You are not alone.

00:21:23.060 Private businesses do it,

00:21:24.680 government actors,

00:21:25.700 our country,

00:21:26.420 and others.

00:21:27.880 All of it.

00:21:28.560 Internet traffic,

00:21:29.400 including yours,

00:21:30.020 is mined like a precious commodity.

00:21:31.880 It's bought and sold,

00:21:32.800 and it's used to manipulate

00:21:33.900 what you think,

00:21:35.400 what you buy,

00:21:36.240 and yes,

00:21:36.680 even how you vote.

00:21:38.100 It's a big deal,

00:21:39.020 and it's a huge market.

00:21:40.060 Your internet provider can see

00:21:41.860 every single website you visit.

00:21:44.140 All of them.

00:21:44.940 And in the United States,

00:21:45.780 they're allowed to sell your data,

00:21:47.160 even your browsing history,

00:21:48.660 to the highest bidder.

00:21:49.700 Did you know that?

00:21:51.100 And that includes everything you do

00:21:53.240 inside a so-called incognito

00:21:55.640 or private browser window.

00:21:57.640 Don't fool yourself.

00:21:58.800 They're watching you always.

00:22:01.600 So if you think that should be illegal,

00:22:03.580 obviously we agree with you.

00:22:04.960 It should be put out of business,

00:22:06.800 these companies,

00:22:07.520 immediately.

00:22:08.200 But in the meantime,

00:22:09.000 you should protect yourself.

00:22:10.660 The way that we do it

00:22:11.560 is with ExpressVPN.

00:22:13.180 That's an easy-to-use app

00:22:14.480 that encrypts and reroutes

00:22:16.400 all your internet traffic

00:22:18.080 through secure servers,

00:22:19.280 so they can't see it.

00:22:22.220 Because we use ExpressVPN,

00:22:24.380 our internet providers

00:22:25.240 cannot see our browsing history.

00:22:27.300 Simply put,

00:22:28.080 we've got nothing to sell

00:22:29.280 because they don't have anything on us.

00:22:31.660 That's important to us.

00:22:32.520 It's probably important to you too.

00:22:33.720 So if you think internet privacy

00:22:36.060 only matters to drug traffickers,

00:22:38.140 people are doing shady things,

00:22:40.160 think again.

00:22:41.380 Privacy is a prerequisite for freedom.

00:22:43.580 No privacy,

00:22:44.460 no freedom.

00:22:45.960 And the truth is,

00:22:46.780 we have all seen how activists

00:22:48.060 and power-hungry government actors

00:22:49.740 have tried and succeeded

00:22:50.940 in getting people fired

00:22:52.180 or even thrown in jail

00:22:53.800 for saying the wrong thing

00:22:54.800 or having the wrong opinions.

00:22:56.740 Protecting your personal data

00:22:58.280 is essential.

00:23:00.000 It's the beginning

00:23:00.960 of reclaiming your freedom.

00:23:03.360 ExpressVPN hides your IP address.

00:23:06.720 That's a number

00:23:07.380 that reveals your actual identity

00:23:09.240 on the internet.

00:23:10.460 It's unique.

00:23:11.660 Because we hide our IP address

00:23:13.760 with ExpressVPN,

00:23:15.300 data brokers can't use it

00:23:16.640 to build a profile on us

00:23:18.060 to sell off to marketers

00:23:19.720 or other governments

00:23:21.080 or our own government.

00:23:21.980 That happens too.

00:23:23.640 By the way,

00:23:24.080 hiding your IP address

00:23:25.780 is really useful

00:23:26.800 when you want to appear

00:23:27.500 to be somewhere you're not.

00:23:28.600 And that's your prerogative,

00:23:29.460 by the way.

00:23:29.840 We used it in Moscow 0.94

00:23:31.540 to get our reporting

00:23:32.660 out of the country.

00:23:33.780 We've used it around the world.

00:23:35.160 We always use it.

00:23:36.920 You can also use it

00:23:37.720 to access geo-restricted content

00:23:39.680 from anywhere.

00:23:40.560 So if you're in a country

00:23:41.260 that doesn't allow you

00:23:42.260 to use an app,

00:23:43.000 you can with ExpressVPN.

00:23:45.280 ExpressVPN has server locations

00:23:46.680 in over 100 countries

00:23:47.760 around the world.

00:23:48.280 That's like having

00:23:48.940 100 different passports

00:23:50.840 right on your phone.

00:23:54.160 So I'm not a tech expert,

00:23:55.820 obviously,

00:23:56.520 and if I can use it,

00:23:57.920 you can too.

00:23:58.740 It's really easy.

00:23:59.720 You just tap one button

00:24:00.880 and you're connected.

00:24:01.740 They have apps

00:24:02.160 for every device you own

00:24:03.680 or even potentially own.

00:24:04.860 iPhone,

00:24:05.860 any kind of phone,

00:24:06.720 laptop,

00:24:07.420 tablet,

00:24:08.120 even your smart TV.

00:24:09.960 Anything that uses

00:24:10.580 the internet

00:24:11.160 can use ExpressVPN.

00:24:13.700 ExpressVPN has been rated

00:24:14.820 number one

00:24:15.660 by CNET,

00:24:16.620 The Verge,

00:24:17.060 and a lot of other

00:24:17.640 tech reviewers.

00:24:19.000 We have it.

00:24:19.980 You should too.

00:24:21.260 Right now,

00:24:34.480 Well, God bless you.

00:24:52.560 And that's exactly

00:24:53.300 where that power comes from.

00:24:54.240 It comes from God.

00:24:56.540 That's exactly right.

00:24:59.220 As I always say

00:25:00.020 to my children,

00:25:01.100 your instincts

00:25:02.740 are imprecise,

00:25:04.560 but they're unerring.

00:25:06.860 I don't know exactly

00:25:07.880 what you're lying about.

00:25:09.000 I don't know

00:25:09.360 what you're hiding.

00:25:10.100 I don't know

00:25:10.320 what your freaky secret is.

00:25:11.420 I don't want to know,

00:25:12.100 actually.

00:25:12.660 No interest at all.

00:25:14.760 But I know you got one,

00:25:16.220 and I know you're lying to me.

00:25:18.840 And I'm,

00:25:19.520 at this stage in my life,

00:25:20.680 at my advanced age,

00:25:21.820 having, you know,

00:25:23.000 cycled through

00:25:23.660 a few jobs in my time,

00:25:25.220 I've decided

00:25:26.320 I'm just going to say that.

00:25:28.320 I'm going to say that

00:25:29.100 because I really believe it.

00:25:30.920 And I'm never again

00:25:32.100 going to sit there

00:25:32.820 and let them tell me

00:25:33.780 that Iran is the greatest threat 1.00

00:25:35.220 when I've been

00:25:35.820 to most cities

00:25:37.500 in this country

00:25:38.120 and they're falling apart

00:25:39.200 and Iran didn't do that.

00:25:40.520 You did it.

00:25:41.520 You did it.

00:25:42.160 Our leaders did it.

00:25:43.400 The people who run this country

00:25:44.820 let their country die.

00:25:46.320 The mullahs didn't do that. 1.00

00:25:47.220 I'd love to blame the mullahs.

00:25:49.280 I wish a war with Iran 1.00

00:25:50.660 would fix Redding, Pennsylvania

00:25:51.940 and Gary, Indiana

00:25:52.900 and Philadelphia

00:25:53.580 and New York City.

00:25:54.960 I really wish that.

00:25:56.660 That would be easy.

00:25:57.940 Just beat Iran 1.00

00:25:58.840 and prosperity

00:25:59.880 and self-respect return.

00:26:01.260 No problem.

00:26:02.060 We've got the weapon systems

00:26:03.040 for that.

00:26:03.680 But it's much more insidious

00:26:05.780 and it's much more obvious.

00:26:07.760 The people who run this country

00:26:08.760 don't care about the people

00:26:09.680 who live in the country.

00:26:10.460 It's literally that simple.

00:26:12.300 And if they did care,

00:26:14.020 if they did care,

00:26:16.660 they'd have the view,

00:26:18.060 I'm sure,

00:26:18.600 of every single person

00:26:19.460 in this room,

00:26:20.000 which is,

00:26:20.340 I'm not defending Iran.

00:26:21.140 I'm sure it's terrible.

00:26:22.120 That's why I don't live there.

00:26:23.100 I live here.

00:26:24.420 And what I care about is here

00:26:25.900 because I was born here

00:26:27.120 and my parents are buried here

00:26:28.340 and I will be too

00:26:29.420 and my children will live on here

00:26:31.260 because we're Americans.

00:26:32.920 And we want this country to thrive.

00:26:36.220 And so our focus,

00:26:37.860 our attention,

00:26:38.900 our love

00:26:39.720 is focused on our nation

00:26:41.700 and how its people are doing.

00:26:43.720 That's what we care about.

00:26:45.460 And that's the lens

00:26:46.400 through which we make all judgments.

00:26:48.100 Is this good for my country?

00:26:49.900 And by my country,

00:26:50.780 I mean me,

00:26:51.540 my neighbors,

00:26:52.480 my wife,

00:26:52.980 my children,

00:26:53.700 everyone I know,

00:26:54.400 my generations yet unborn,

00:26:57.820 I'd like them to be born

00:26:59.580 in this country

00:27:00.400 and live the life

00:27:01.060 that I have lived.

00:27:02.320 Will the decision

00:27:03.240 make that possible?

00:27:04.340 Will it help them?

00:27:05.160 And if it won't,

00:27:05.660 I'm not for it.

00:27:07.840 And by the way,

00:27:08.600 anyone who is for it

00:27:09.860 is not my friend.

00:27:12.060 This is not simply

00:27:12.880 a disagreement.

00:27:13.620 You're my enemy.

00:27:14.200 If you don't care about me,

00:27:16.440 if you're willing

00:27:17.520 to walk around this country

00:27:19.740 full of the best people there are,

00:27:21.680 I've been all over the world,

00:27:22.500 I can promise you

00:27:23.300 this is the nicest country

00:27:24.560 by far.

00:27:26.260 You get lost in America?

00:27:27.640 I'm lost.

00:27:29.220 Try being some like 1.00

00:27:30.340 tourist from a foreign country

00:27:31.640 who can barely speak English.

00:27:32.660 It doesn't matter

00:27:33.020 what country actually.

00:27:34.860 It can be Liberia or Belgium.

00:27:36.680 It doesn't matter.

00:27:37.240 You show up in some town

00:27:38.220 in Oregon,

00:27:40.180 you know,

00:27:40.600 or even Massachusetts,

00:27:42.200 kind of rough,

00:27:42.720 but even in Massachusetts,

00:27:44.380 I'm totally lost,

00:27:46.180 you say in broken English.

00:27:47.240 And they're like,

00:27:47.580 oh, go this way.

00:27:49.280 They'll help you. 0.92

00:27:50.820 Try being a dog in America. 0.61

00:27:52.500 No country has ever

00:27:53.280 treated dogs better

00:27:54.180 than America.

00:27:55.680 And if that's not a measure, 0.87

00:27:57.540 when you're a dog in America,

00:27:58.840 you've won the dog lotto.

00:28:02.440 Try being a dog anywhere else.

00:28:06.540 It's a dog's life. 0.54

00:28:08.240 Right.

00:28:08.520 Well, try being it.

00:28:09.520 Right.

00:28:11.000 Certain...

00:28:11.480 Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

00:28:15.020 Well, that's true.

00:28:16.800 Things are changing

00:28:17.480 in certain parts of Ohio.

00:28:18.620 You know.

00:28:21.520 And the dogs know that

00:28:22.780 and they're distressed.

00:28:23.580 Trust me.

00:28:25.520 They're like,

00:28:26.480 you can get eaten there.

00:28:28.460 We're out.

00:28:30.860 By the way,

00:28:31.460 when Trump said that,

00:28:32.280 which was the single greatest thing

00:28:33.300 Trump has ever said,

00:28:35.040 everyone hated that debate

00:28:37.820 and a lot of Trump voters

00:28:38.840 hated that debate.

00:28:39.960 You know,

00:28:40.120 a lot of people who like Trump

00:28:41.040 really hated that

00:28:41.780 because they like Trump

00:28:42.580 and they want him to do his best.

00:28:44.740 And then he comes out

00:28:45.380 and he's just, you know,

00:28:46.400 pretty Trumpy.

00:28:47.400 No, don't say that!

00:28:48.660 You know?

00:28:49.160 And, um...

00:28:50.900 But if you look at the numbers,

00:28:52.300 he actually did pretty well

00:28:53.300 after the debate.

00:28:54.940 You know what I mean?

00:28:56.000 It's almost like

00:28:56.620 watching your kid play soccer.

00:28:58.600 You're too emotionally invested in it.

00:29:01.460 Like, come on, Dylan,

00:29:02.520 make the kick! 0.94

00:29:03.300 And, like, no one else notices.

00:29:04.320 Only you,

00:29:04.760 because it's your kid.

00:29:06.360 That's how I think

00:29:07.100 a lot of Trump...

00:29:07.740 They want him to be...

00:29:09.120 You know, they love him,

00:29:10.040 so they want him to do great.

00:29:11.060 But actually,

00:29:11.460 he did pretty well

00:29:12.240 after the debate

00:29:12.860 according to the numbers.

00:29:13.960 And one of the reasons he did

00:29:15.160 is because Americans

00:29:16.140 are just not for dog-eating.

00:29:17.260 I'm sorry, they're not.

00:29:19.380 And they can tell you

00:29:20.740 they get all hyperventilating

00:29:22.520 and all hysterical. 1.00

00:29:24.240 Shut up! 1.00

00:29:24.720 There's no dog-eating! 1.00

00:29:25.820 Which is exactly the moment

00:29:27.180 you know,

00:29:27.700 oh, yeah,

00:29:28.120 there's some dog-eating going on.

00:29:30.740 100%!

00:29:32.060 How do I know that? 0.83

00:29:33.080 Because the liar said 0.93

00:29:34.120 it's not true. 0.92

00:29:34.900 That's why.

00:29:37.400 Chances they're eating dogs

00:29:38.640 in Springfield, Ohio?

00:29:40.580 100%.

00:29:41.020 100%.

00:29:43.620 I bet my house on that.

00:29:46.020 Because Wikipedia says

00:29:47.380 it's a conspiracy theory.

00:29:48.660 Done!

00:29:52.340 Woo! 0.99

00:29:52.880 I'm out of control.

00:29:53.600 Sorry, sorry, sorry.

00:29:56.240 But the point is,

00:29:57.500 the point is...

00:29:58.820 Sorry.

00:30:00.160 By the way,

00:30:06.540 most people know that.

00:30:08.500 That's why the moment

00:30:09.820 that just appalled David Muir...

00:30:12.420 I've been in journalism

00:30:15.000 for 33 years

00:30:16.200 and I can promise you

00:30:17.140 he's a very good journalist

00:30:17.980 based on his abs.

00:30:21.200 It's so funny.

00:30:22.600 It's like,

00:30:23.380 imagine going into any business

00:30:25.180 out of self-love.

00:30:26.900 It's just not a good motive.

00:30:28.080 You know what I mean?

00:30:28.840 Because you want to look

00:30:29.360 at yourself on camera.

00:30:30.960 Every shot of David Muir

00:30:32.020 is like admiring his biceps.

00:30:33.560 He's doing this

00:30:34.060 slow rotisserie turn. 0.99

00:30:36.340 What a douche.

00:30:39.780 Anyway,

00:30:40.580 he was...

00:30:42.300 It's like a joke.

00:30:43.640 It's like a joke.

00:30:45.760 Only when you work

00:30:46.840 at ABC News

00:30:47.740 do you not know

00:30:48.480 that everyone else 0.83

00:30:49.240 thinks you're absurd.

00:30:51.420 Luckily,

00:30:52.000 I have an ever-present knowledge

00:30:53.860 of being considered absurd

00:30:54.860 because I know that I am.

00:30:56.320 And I know that I am

00:30:57.120 because I've been in hotel rooms

00:30:58.260 for 17 straight nights

00:30:59.220 and they have mirrors

00:30:59.740 outside the shower.

00:31:01.420 And every time I emerge

00:31:02.580 from the shower,

00:31:03.300 I'm like,

00:31:03.560 I'm kind of impressive

00:31:04.320 and then I see myself

00:31:05.160 and I'm like,

00:31:05.420 what is that?

00:31:07.020 There's like some lumpy primate

00:31:08.880 standing in my bathroom. 0.98

00:31:10.200 Like, what the hell?

00:31:12.020 And it's such a wonderful...

00:31:13.480 It's horrifying, obviously.

00:31:15.920 But it's such a wonderful moment

00:31:17.720 because you are 0.96

00:31:19.820 a lumpy primate, actually. 0.94

00:31:21.980 And it's so good

00:31:23.280 to know that.

00:31:24.320 It's so good

00:31:24.840 to see yourself

00:31:25.660 in perspective.

00:31:27.040 No matter how right

00:31:27.940 you think you are, 0.87

00:31:28.940 fundamentally you're absurd 0.95

00:31:29.940 because you're not God. 0.98

00:31:31.580 And I do think

00:31:32.520 that we should install

00:31:33.520 a series of mirrors

00:31:34.520 outside David Muir's bathroom.

00:31:37.360 And all of them,

00:31:38.520 Wolf Blitzer

00:31:39.260 and all the...

00:31:40.000 Wolf Blitzer.

00:31:41.580 All right, Wolf. 0.99

00:31:42.860 Let's see you naked. 1.00

00:31:45.120 I'm serious. 0.96

00:31:46.020 Like, nobody looks good.

00:31:47.280 I mean, it's just a fact.

00:31:48.320 I don't.

00:31:49.400 I'll just say it.

00:31:50.220 But they don't know

00:31:52.080 that they don't.

00:31:53.680 And it's so embarrassing.

00:31:55.460 Anyway, the point is,

00:31:56.880 when someone's telling the truth,

00:32:00.140 you know it's true.

00:32:01.740 Don't second-guess

00:32:02.940 your instincts.

00:32:04.140 They're the greatest gift

00:32:05.300 you've ever been given.

00:32:07.420 And on the basis of them,

00:32:09.140 tell the truth yourself.

00:32:10.660 And tell it without fear.

00:32:12.480 It doesn't matter

00:32:13.440 what they call you.

00:32:14.600 It doesn't matter

00:32:15.360 how loud they yell.

00:32:17.100 When you're telling the truth,

00:32:18.460 you know it's true.

00:32:19.920 And everyone around you

00:32:21.460 knows it, too.

00:32:22.820 And there's nothing

00:32:23.580 more liberating

00:32:24.660 than that.

00:32:26.160 And so I hope you will.

00:32:26.960 And so with that,

00:32:28.780 I want to invite

00:32:29.960 the first of two guests.

00:32:31.740 So we're going to

00:32:32.920 have my friend John Rich,

00:32:34.020 who's actually

00:32:35.020 a wonderful man,

00:32:36.800 in addition to being

00:32:38.260 an amazing performer.

00:32:40.100 And then we're going to invite

00:32:40.800 our friend Russell Brand.

00:32:42.100 But first,

00:32:43.460 my friend from Nashville,

00:32:44.900 Tennessee,

00:32:45.720 John Rich.

00:32:48.340 How about a round of applause

00:32:49.940 for America's number one patriot,

00:32:53.020 Tucker Carlson?

00:32:56.700 I don't know.

00:32:58.360 That's you.

00:32:59.240 It's either you or Ted Nugent.

00:33:00.900 I say it's you, though.

00:33:01.800 I think it's definitely Ted Nugent.

00:33:03.560 Honestly,

00:33:04.260 I love Uncle Ted.

00:33:05.900 Been to my house.

00:33:06.700 Wonderful man.

00:33:07.840 So you are one

00:33:09.840 of the few people,

00:33:10.960 I've been brooding

00:33:11.780 on this truth

00:33:12.500 or falsehood question

00:33:13.560 all day long.

00:33:14.460 You are one of the few people

00:33:15.860 I've ever known,

00:33:16.580 and I'm proud to be your friend,

00:33:18.160 who doesn't ever seem

00:33:20.160 to struggle with this question,

00:33:21.600 what's true

00:33:22.060 and what's false.

00:33:23.080 You seem to know it

00:33:24.880 and you seem to trust

00:33:25.960 your intuition

00:33:26.960 on this question.

00:33:27.740 Is that true?

00:33:28.340 And if so,

00:33:28.780 why do you trust it?

00:33:30.540 Well, humans don't really have

00:33:32.060 inherent intuition,

00:33:34.980 in my opinion.

00:33:35.700 There's a thing called

00:33:37.300 discernment.

00:33:40.000 Preach!

00:33:41.500 Discernment.

00:33:43.140 Discernment is what

00:33:44.380 King Solomon asked for.

00:33:47.620 And you know,

00:33:48.200 as the Bible says,

00:33:49.420 that Solomon was the wisest man

00:33:51.520 that ever lived.

00:33:53.180 Well, okay.

00:33:54.060 If that's the case,

00:33:55.320 I want to learn about

00:33:56.520 what he was all about

00:33:57.940 because I could use some wisdom

00:33:59.440 in my life as well.

00:34:01.260 And when you see

00:34:02.000 what Solomon was asking for,

00:34:03.820 he could ask for anything.

00:34:05.700 He didn't ask for more money.

00:34:07.740 He didn't ask for more power.

00:34:09.160 He said,

00:34:09.760 give me discernment.

00:34:11.720 I want discernment.

00:34:12.820 I want to be able to tell

00:34:13.820 what's true

00:34:15.060 and what's false.

00:34:17.040 And I think in this

00:34:18.280 world we're living in today,

00:34:20.060 here in 2024,

00:34:21.780 it seems like everything

00:34:24.500 is a lie

00:34:25.320 or a version of the truth,

00:34:27.700 however you want to put it.

00:34:28.640 even from a lot of Republicans

00:34:31.460 that are out there

00:34:32.460 spouting it off

00:34:33.580 and you're looking at that

00:34:35.480 going,

00:34:37.080 you see them say something

00:34:38.740 and you go,

00:34:39.740 that does not seem true to me.

00:34:42.200 I don't know what's not true about it,

00:34:43.880 but it doesn't seem that way.

00:34:44.920 So my suggestion would be

00:34:47.040 if it doesn't seem true to you,

00:34:49.940 it's not true.

00:34:52.440 Just go with that.

00:34:54.060 Don't try to talk yourself

00:34:55.220 out of that.

00:34:56.920 It just hits you

00:34:57.860 in the gut wrong.

00:34:58.960 It's just,

00:34:59.820 something about that's not right.

00:35:01.300 So people are thirsting for truth.

00:35:03.980 I think that's why

00:35:04.700 they're showing up

00:35:05.920 in crowds like this

00:35:06.880 to hear you speak

00:35:07.800 because they know

00:35:09.420 that you're not working

00:35:10.700 for anybody,

00:35:11.500 nobody owns you,

00:35:12.440 and you're just saying the truth.

00:35:13.720 That's it.

00:35:14.720 The truth is the greatest commodity ever.

00:35:18.320 I do think unemployment

00:35:20.080 makes you more honest,

00:35:21.320 if that's what you're saying.

00:35:22.960 Yeah, no doubt.

00:35:24.500 You can definitely lie your way

00:35:26.280 into another great job

00:35:27.420 anytime you wanted to.

00:35:28.640 No thanks!

00:35:30.140 I don't think I'm in danger

00:35:31.380 of being snapped up by CNN.

00:35:35.180 So,

00:35:36.980 what do you,

00:35:37.500 I mean,

00:35:37.940 you live in Nashville,

00:35:39.400 you're in the entertainment business,

00:35:40.600 but you're very,

00:35:41.960 more than any

00:35:42.880 singer, songwriter,

00:35:44.500 entertainer I've ever met.

00:35:45.320 You're very connected

00:35:46.360 with what,

00:35:47.100 you know a lot of people,

00:35:48.180 everyone I ever meet

00:35:48.860 knows you.

00:35:50.740 Where do you think

00:35:51.900 we are in this race,

00:35:53.720 the presidential race,

00:35:54.660 which is 30 odd days away?

00:35:56.820 Where are we at

00:35:57.580 in the presidential race?

00:36:00.760 I think Trump's gonna win.

00:36:05.580 Now,

00:36:05.980 my personal thoughts

00:36:10.020 on it are this,

00:36:11.740 because the more

00:36:13.200 it looks like

00:36:14.080 Trump is gonna win,

00:36:15.260 the more danger

00:36:16.260 the country is in.

00:36:18.640 Because the other side,

00:36:20.520 you're not just looking at

00:36:21.760 if they lose,

00:36:24.300 they're losing

00:36:25.220 the White House.

00:36:27.700 They're in big,

00:36:28.840 big trouble

00:36:29.400 if he gets in there

00:36:30.680 again.

00:36:31.480 Because,

00:36:32.260 let me ask this crowd

00:36:33.200 a question.

00:36:34.140 Do you feel like

00:36:35.440 you're somewhat

00:36:37.520 even of a different person

00:36:39.040 than you were

00:36:39.980 four or five years ago

00:36:41.460 as to what you know now?

00:36:44.320 Right?

00:36:45.380 I think,

00:36:46.140 I think COVID

00:36:47.940 was the,

00:36:48.740 was the big catalyst

00:36:49.920 for that,

00:36:50.500 Tucker,

00:36:50.840 that,

00:36:52.500 listen,

00:36:53.280 I was a guy

00:36:53.860 that said,

00:36:54.500 well,

00:36:54.600 if you're a Republican,

00:36:55.620 you're a good guy.

00:36:57.120 That's how I felt.

00:36:59.660 If you're Republican,

00:37:00.720 you're a good guy.

00:37:01.320 If you say the right thing

00:37:02.260 in the interview,

00:37:03.600 yep,

00:37:04.040 if you say what I think,

00:37:05.300 I'm all,

00:37:05.700 I'm behind you,

00:37:06.340 man,

00:37:06.460 let's go.

00:37:08.240 And then COVID

00:37:09.020 comes along

00:37:09.700 and we see how

00:37:10.360 we were manipulated,

00:37:11.940 lied to,

00:37:13.180 and the catastrophic

00:37:14.340 results of those lies,

00:37:17.340 what that yielded

00:37:18.380 in our population.

00:37:19.380 And we saw

00:37:20.240 our own party

00:37:21.860 doing that

00:37:22.720 and realized,

00:37:24.440 hang on a minute,

00:37:25.200 you mean to tell me

00:37:26.340 that this guy

00:37:28.240 that I've always thought

00:37:29.440 was a real McCoy 0.67

00:37:30.620 is in the pocket

00:37:32.360 of big pharma?

00:37:35.600 What?

00:37:36.460 That can't be true.

00:37:38.220 You remember

00:37:38.660 having that experience?

00:37:40.280 That cannot be true.

00:37:42.080 It can't be.

00:37:43.240 It can't be.

00:37:44.660 And then as time goes by,

00:37:46.240 you realize,

00:37:47.260 oh yeah,

00:37:48.620 it is true

00:37:49.760 and it is true

00:37:50.660 as a heart attack

00:37:51.720 is true.

00:37:53.020 And then you start

00:37:54.120 to step back

00:37:54.920 from the whole thing

00:37:55.720 and go,

00:37:56.100 hang on a minute,

00:37:56.840 I think this whole thing

00:37:58.320 is playing

00:37:59.480 we the people

00:38:00.580 to their own end,

00:38:03.440 which is something horrible.

00:38:05.140 And so now,

00:38:07.200 I don't think

00:38:08.700 I like these guys anymore.

00:38:10.000 And then they start

00:38:11.000 seeing we the people

00:38:12.080 standing up

00:38:13.940 out of their chairs

00:38:14.820 and starting to flex

00:38:15.820 their muscles

00:38:16.380 and go,

00:38:16.720 hang on a minute now,

00:38:17.840 uh-uh,

00:38:18.380 no.

00:38:19.900 And then you see

00:38:20.660 the intensity

00:38:21.340 of the pushback

00:38:22.360 start to kick in,

00:38:23.200 don't you?

00:38:23.680 Here they start

00:38:24.220 arresting grandmas

00:38:25.340 for praying outside

00:38:26.860 of an abortion clinic.

00:38:28.860 Or you see them,

00:38:30.160 listen,

00:38:30.340 I've been to the Capitol

00:38:31.400 many times.

00:38:33.680 You know they have

00:38:34.280 magnetic locks

00:38:35.480 on those doors?

00:38:36.720 The doors are this thick,

00:38:38.520 you know,

00:38:39.320 and they're magnetically locked.

00:38:41.420 I mean,

00:38:41.720 you can't get in.

00:38:44.480 And they swing

00:38:45.420 those doors open

00:38:46.440 and say,

00:38:47.580 come on in, guys.

00:38:49.220 And here come

00:38:49.800 all the people going,

00:38:50.580 wow, I can't believe,

00:38:51.440 I never thought

00:38:52.060 I'd see this before.

00:38:53.700 Arrest, arrest, arrest,

00:38:54.980 arrest, arrest, arrest. 0.98

00:38:56.160 Throw them all in jail 0.55

00:38:57.020 with no habeas corpus. 0.93

00:38:59.300 Forget excessive bail,

00:39:00.660 no bail.

00:39:02.620 It would be tantamount

00:39:03.980 to in Nashville

00:39:06.060 if I saw a guy

00:39:07.480 standing up on the street

00:39:08.520 outside of my house

00:39:09.600 and I said,

00:39:10.700 open the front gate.

00:39:12.960 I said,

00:39:13.940 hey, buddy,

00:39:14.460 come on in.

00:39:16.300 And he did.

00:39:18.040 I said,

00:39:18.560 follow me to the front door.

00:39:20.440 And then I took

00:39:20.920 the locks off the front door

00:39:22.180 and I opened the front door

00:39:23.100 and I said,

00:39:23.540 come on in the house, man.

00:39:25.180 Go anywhere you want to go.

00:39:26.540 Check the place out.

00:39:27.940 And he goes meandering

00:39:29.360 through my house.

00:39:30.380 And about the time

00:39:31.300 he's up on the second

00:39:32.300 or third floor,

00:39:33.140 I come up there

00:39:33.820 and I aim a rifle 0.99

00:39:35.580 at that man. 0.98

00:39:36.360 I say,

00:39:36.700 get on the floor.

00:39:38.580 I'm called the cops.

00:39:39.620 You're under arrest.

00:39:40.620 And I throw that man in jail.

00:39:41.980 He goes,

00:39:42.380 what are you talking about?

00:39:43.240 He opened the gate,

00:39:44.080 the front door,

00:39:44.800 asked me to come in.

00:39:46.260 Now I'm in jail

00:39:47.320 for invading his house?

00:39:49.180 That's right.

00:39:50.960 That's what that is.

00:39:53.140 Agree?

00:39:54.460 Well, not only do I agree,

00:39:55.980 I mean,

00:39:56.840 the videotape is now public.

00:39:59.380 We've all seen it.

00:40:00.380 Yes.

00:40:00.940 And that's literally

00:40:02.020 what happened.

00:40:03.140 So I think when you see

00:40:04.140 things like that

00:40:04.780 play out in our country,

00:40:07.520 listen,

00:40:07.960 don't take this the wrong way,

00:40:09.340 but it feels like

00:40:10.240 the USA

00:40:11.280 has become

00:40:12.140 the USSA

00:40:13.480 to me.

00:40:15.800 The people running

00:40:16.540 this country,

00:40:17.380 people ask me

00:40:18.420 all the time.

00:40:19.480 I'm out on the road

00:40:20.280 playing music and stuff,

00:40:21.820 just regular people.

00:40:23.460 John,

00:40:23.760 why do you think

00:40:24.380 people in this country

00:40:25.500 are going out of their way

00:40:28.300 to destroy it?

00:40:30.520 I mean,

00:40:30.860 make that make sense.

00:40:33.140 I said,

00:40:33.520 because the ball game

00:40:34.480 that they're playing

00:40:35.280 is way bigger

00:40:36.120 than the USA.

00:40:37.960 That if they can get

00:40:39.040 the USA

00:40:39.680 to come down,

00:40:41.400 remember this,

00:40:42.300 Tucker,

00:40:42.820 nobody ever

00:40:44.200 reaches forward

00:40:45.740 standing on their own

00:40:47.560 two feet

00:40:48.080 for a handout,

00:40:48.980 ever.

00:40:50.060 They only reach

00:40:50.760 for a handout.

00:40:51.600 They only reach

00:40:52.260 for a lifeline

00:40:53.040 when they're down

00:40:53.680 on their knees

00:40:54.460 and they're in this

00:40:55.640 position right here.

00:40:57.440 Please help me.

00:40:58.400 Please save my life.

00:40:59.860 I'm about to die.

00:41:00.860 Save me,

00:41:01.400 save me,

00:41:01.860 save me.

00:41:02.720 They reach up.

00:41:04.340 Well,

00:41:04.520 the only way

00:41:05.000 you can get that

00:41:05.620 to happen in America

00:41:06.580 is you got to put us

00:41:07.580 down on our knees

00:41:08.660 all the way down

00:41:09.720 on the floor,

00:41:10.560 down with our faces down

00:41:11.800 and it's a life

00:41:12.880 or death situation

00:41:13.860 and we'll accept

00:41:15.040 anything that they

00:41:15.900 offer to us

00:41:16.720 just to make it stop.

00:41:18.220 And I really think

00:41:19.800 what their goal is

00:41:20.900 is to inflict

00:41:21.560 so much pain

00:41:22.620 and misery

00:41:23.760 on this country

00:41:25.040 that at some point

00:41:26.820 America's down

00:41:28.100 on its knees

00:41:28.700 and even the most

00:41:29.520 patriotic among us

00:41:30.960 will say

00:41:31.740 just make it stop

00:41:33.060 and when you do that

00:41:34.360 they got you

00:41:35.380 and I think

00:41:36.440 that's the game

00:41:37.040 they're playing.

00:41:37.600 I think it's much bigger

00:41:38.400 than politics

00:41:39.080 at this point.

00:41:39.880 I don't think

00:41:40.180 there's any doubt

00:41:40.760 about that.

00:41:42.020 So this is a stressful

00:41:43.460 time of year.

00:41:43.940 The kids are going

00:41:44.320 back to school.

00:41:45.000 Vacation is over.

00:41:46.000 It's the height

00:41:46.500 of a presidential

00:41:47.220 election season.

00:41:48.400 There's a lot going on.

00:41:49.920 You need a good night's sleep

00:41:51.740 but it's never been

00:41:52.860 harder to get it.

00:41:54.440 So we were talking

00:41:54.880 about this in the office

00:41:55.800 the other day

00:41:56.300 and a couple people

00:41:57.280 who work here

00:41:58.200 were raving about

00:41:59.340 a product

00:41:59.980 called Eight Sleep.

00:42:02.340 Hmm.

00:42:03.300 And I wanted to know

00:42:04.180 more about it.

00:42:04.700 It turns out that

00:42:05.420 temperature has a lot

00:42:06.880 to do with whether

00:42:07.440 or not you sleep

00:42:08.120 comfortably and wake up

00:42:09.220 feeling rested

00:42:10.020 like you actually slept.

00:42:11.880 Now the makers

00:42:12.400 of Eight Sleep Pod

00:42:13.300 figured out that

00:42:13.840 if you make a

00:42:14.440 climate controlled

00:42:15.120 mattress cover

00:42:16.080 you can add to

00:42:17.000 your existing bed

00:42:17.600 you don't have to

00:42:17.980 buy a new bed

00:42:18.740 just the cover

00:42:19.580 that it changes

00:42:20.800 everything.

00:42:21.320 You get far fewer

00:42:22.780 problems with falling

00:42:23.560 asleep and staying

00:42:24.840 asleep and so you

00:42:25.760 feel rested the next

00:42:27.100 day.

00:42:27.580 Sleep actually has

00:42:28.260 its desired effect.

00:42:29.780 The Eight Sleep Pod

00:42:30.420 can be used to warm

00:42:31.360 up or cool off

00:42:32.680 your bed

00:42:33.240 and that matters

00:42:34.580 because temperatures

00:42:35.880 change seasonally.

00:42:37.060 We have climate change

00:42:37.860 in this country.

00:42:38.900 It's called winter

00:42:39.520 and so you can feel

00:42:40.580 comfortable all night long.

00:42:41.840 It even adjusts

00:42:42.760 to different preferences

00:42:43.540 on either side

00:42:44.640 of the bed

00:42:45.120 which might be

00:42:45.760 helpful in your

00:42:46.800 relationship if you

00:42:47.680 have one of those

00:42:48.460 relationships where

00:42:49.640 the different partners

00:42:50.760 want different

00:42:51.200 temperatures and those

00:42:51.880 are pretty common.

00:43:48.960 So you had

00:43:58.120 one of the most amazing

00:44:00.280 things I've seen

00:44:01.020 in a long time

00:44:01.900 you wrote a song

00:44:03.620 pretty recently

00:44:06.360 on you know

00:44:08.120 a specific

00:44:09.080 theological topic

00:44:11.240 the book of Revelation

00:44:13.060 which if you'd said

00:44:15.160 to me okay

00:44:15.640 there's a country music

00:44:16.460 star been in the business

00:44:17.280 30 years

00:44:17.940 and he's going to write

00:44:18.600 a song in the book

00:44:19.340 of Revelation

00:44:19.960 and it's going to go

00:44:20.960 to number one

00:44:22.040 in the United States

00:44:23.080 I would have said

00:44:24.300 I don't think

00:44:25.240 that's possible

00:44:26.260 of all books

00:44:27.400 of the Bible

00:44:27.980 by the way

00:44:28.620 they don't even

00:44:29.560 teach that book

00:44:30.420 in the Episcopal Church

00:44:31.520 or really any book

00:44:33.880 at the Episcopal Church

00:44:34.900 but anyway

00:44:35.580 but the point is

00:44:36.460 we got to get you

00:44:37.980 into a Pentecostal church

00:44:39.280 talk about that

00:44:39.900 I'm headed there man

00:44:41.400 but anyway

00:44:41.940 the point is

00:44:42.460 how do you

00:44:43.580 I mean

00:44:43.860 what was that?

00:44:45.140 that song

00:44:45.960 it was the biggest song

00:44:47.400 in the United States

00:44:47.880 like how did that happen?

00:44:49.700 well first of all

00:44:50.440 thank you for having me

00:44:51.720 on your show

00:44:52.260 to break that song

00:44:53.300 because that's where

00:44:53.840 everybody learned about it

00:44:55.040 even my normal outlets

00:44:58.220 in the news

00:44:59.100 that would normally

00:44:59.780 have me on

00:45:00.500 to sing my new song

00:45:01.660 would not have me on

00:45:03.020 to sing that song

00:45:03.900 I'm not going to ask you

00:45:04.640 to be more specific

00:45:05.400 but I think I know

00:45:06.300 what you're talking about

00:45:07.220 John Rich

00:45:07.860 well

00:45:08.660 I said well

00:45:10.140 why can't I come

00:45:11.000 sing that song

00:45:11.720 and they said

00:45:12.320 it's just

00:45:13.280 it's too graphic

00:45:14.620 it's too graphic

00:45:15.980 and I thought about

00:45:18.040 this is a channel

00:45:20.160 that'll air a car crash live

00:45:21.960 right

00:45:22.700 well what's so graphic

00:45:24.560 about it

00:45:25.020 it's literally

00:45:25.600 out of the pages

00:45:26.480 of the book

00:45:27.180 it's the bible itself

00:45:28.420 I just made it rhyme

00:45:29.540 that's all it is

00:45:30.420 but I think the line

00:45:31.920 that got them

00:45:32.500 was when it said

00:45:33.260 brimstone upon their heads

00:45:35.860 and millstones

00:45:37.300 around their necks

00:45:38.500 they'll feel the shaking

00:45:40.000 when the trumpet sounds

00:45:41.360 and no matter

00:45:42.340 where they hide

00:45:43.380 there'll be nowhere

00:45:44.580 to run

00:45:45.300 when Jesus

00:45:46.440 puts his mighty foot

00:45:47.680 on the ground

00:45:48.360 that tore them up

00:45:50.640 they didn't know

00:45:51.120 what to do about that

00:45:52.240 Christians have got 1.00

00:45:57.320 to realize

00:45:58.020 that Jesus

00:46:00.180 was not on the defense

00:46:01.580 he was on the offense

00:46:03.940 the entire time

00:46:05.800 he was on the offense

00:46:07.520 speaking the truth

00:46:08.600 to these people

00:46:09.440 that a lot of them

00:46:11.300 got turned around

00:46:12.140 and saved

00:46:12.700 but the hierarchy

00:46:13.600 and the elites

00:46:14.380 that he spoke

00:46:15.020 the truth to

00:46:15.740 murdered him

00:46:17.280 Jesus was not

00:46:19.180 murdered for something

00:46:20.040 that he did

00:46:20.800 he was murdered

00:46:21.500 for things that he said

00:46:22.900 he was murdered

00:46:24.220 for freedom of speech

00:46:25.260 they murdered him

00:46:28.020 they beat him 0.75

00:46:29.660 half to death

00:46:30.360 and they hung him 0.51

00:46:30.960 up on a cross

00:46:31.680 and bled every last

00:46:32.620 drop of blood

00:46:33.200 out of that man

00:46:33.900 and he allowed them

00:46:36.180 to do it

00:46:37.080 if you want to know

00:46:38.200 if you're a Christian

00:46:38.920 in this audience

00:46:39.560 who you actually follow

00:46:41.060 who is the son of God

00:46:42.820 the son of God

00:46:44.540 could have evaporated

00:46:46.200 the earth

00:46:47.820 with a flick

00:46:48.760 of his pinky

00:46:49.500 and he did not do that

00:46:52.480 he allowed them

00:46:53.920 to torture him

00:46:54.880 to death 1.00

00:46:55.620 on behalf of us

00:46:57.200 so who are we

00:46:58.700 to lose our nerve

00:46:59.960 in these times

00:47:01.120 that we call

00:47:01.740 tough times

00:47:02.760 who are we

00:47:04.140 to lose our nerve

00:47:04.940 right now

00:47:05.380 if that's who you follow

00:47:06.500 then follow him

00:47:07.500 follow his example

00:47:08.940 be on the offense

00:47:10.340 speak the truth

00:47:11.520 that's it

00:47:12.420 the second thing

00:47:14.400 I'd like to say

00:47:15.020 about that Tucker

00:47:15.800 a lot of Christians

00:47:17.820 are under the misconception

00:47:19.060 that

00:47:19.720 well God's not going

00:47:21.020 to let anything bad

00:47:21.760 happen to me

00:47:22.500 where do they get

00:47:24.360 that idea

00:47:24.900 they get that idea

00:47:26.340 from preachers

00:47:27.280 because preachers

00:47:29.580 like to preach

00:47:30.380 that hey

00:47:31.400 nothing bad

00:47:32.340 is going to happen

00:47:32.880 to all of us

00:47:34.000 because he loves us

00:47:35.320 too much

00:47:35.920 to allow us

00:47:37.160 to go through

00:47:37.640 anything bad

00:47:38.440 and that keeps

00:47:40.280 the churches packed

00:47:41.360 and that keeps

00:47:42.360 the offering plate

00:47:43.300 plate packed

00:47:44.240 and then I go

00:47:45.920 really

00:47:46.600 you should have

00:47:47.760 told that to Daniel

00:47:48.980 back in the day

00:47:49.900 when Nebuchadnezzar 0.86

00:47:50.940 invaded Israel 0.95

00:47:51.860 you know what

00:47:52.700 they did to Daniel

00:47:53.720 I'm sorry

00:47:56.840 is anybody in this room

00:47:58.160 better than Daniel

00:47:59.420 raise your hand

00:48:00.340 if you find yourself

00:48:01.400 to be higher

00:48:02.040 than that man

00:48:02.840 nobody right

00:48:04.260 Daniel

00:48:05.580 wait nobody

00:48:06.620 nobody

00:48:07.640 I didn't see a hand

00:48:08.800 Daniel's sitting there

00:48:11.700 and guess what

00:48:12.260 Daniel was

00:48:12.900 Daniel was a patriot

00:48:14.060 he was a Hebrew patriot

00:48:15.660 he was ready to fight

00:48:17.200 Nebuchadnezzar

00:48:17.920 and the Babylonians

00:48:18.820 to the death

00:48:19.400 he was ready to go

00:48:20.260 Nebuchadnezzar

00:48:22.040 comes in there

00:48:22.800 takes over Israel 0.96

00:48:24.420 they put Daniel

00:48:25.960 in chains

00:48:26.740 and all of his friends

00:48:27.720 castrate him

00:48:29.300 and all of his friends 1.00

00:48:30.500 and throw him 1.00

00:48:31.380 in a pit 0.99

00:48:32.060 Daniel

00:48:34.740 and then as time

00:48:37.820 goes by

00:48:38.540 many years

00:48:40.540 Daniel winds up

00:48:42.060 being the only guy

00:48:43.060 that can interpret

00:48:43.880 the dreams

00:48:44.520 of Nebuchadnezzar 0.95

00:48:45.640 and so Nebuchadnezzar

00:48:47.140 starts to raise him up

00:48:48.400 in the hierarchy

00:48:49.080 of that empire

00:48:49.900 and basically Daniel

00:48:51.140 became the second

00:48:52.080 in command

00:48:52.540 of the Babylonian empire

00:48:53.740 but not before

00:48:55.600 he was dragged off

00:48:56.660 in chains

00:48:57.240 and castrated 1.00

00:48:58.240 in front of all 0.94

00:48:59.000 of his friends

00:48:59.780 what about Job

00:49:01.320 what about Job

00:49:04.660 did Job have

00:49:06.080 some pain

00:49:06.580 in his life

00:49:07.300 I think so

00:49:08.400 what about Noah

00:49:09.520 did God

00:49:13.000 rapture Noah

00:49:13.940 out of the flood

00:49:14.840 or was Noah

00:49:17.040 directly in the flood

00:49:18.480 but he had a boat

00:49:19.600 God said

00:49:21.420 Noah

00:49:21.720 there's a flood

00:49:22.580 coming

00:49:23.000 build a boat

00:49:23.920 Noah's like

00:49:24.660 what

00:49:25.240 he goes

00:49:26.100 trust me

00:49:27.100 build a boat

00:49:28.520 Noah

00:49:28.860 the verse

00:49:30.320 preceding that

00:49:31.040 Tucker says

00:49:31.820 it says

00:49:32.620 and God

00:49:34.440 was grieved

00:49:35.680 because he had

00:49:37.380 created mankind

00:49:38.260 in the first place

00:49:39.600 that's how polluted

00:49:41.500 the earth had become

00:49:42.420 how wicked

00:49:43.100 it had become

00:49:44.280 and what it says

00:49:45.200 in Revelations

00:49:45.920 is that it will be

00:49:46.740 as it was

00:49:47.820 in the days of Noah

00:49:49.140 so shall it

00:49:50.360 will be at the end

00:49:51.860 and so you go

00:49:52.840 well what was it like

00:49:53.480 in the days of Noah

00:49:54.180 well the whole earth

00:49:55.740 had been polluted

00:49:56.640 to the point

00:49:57.800 where God said

00:49:58.480 I am grieved

00:49:59.880 that I even

00:50:00.620 made mankind

00:50:01.380 in the first place

00:50:02.460 what a statement

00:50:03.280 from him

00:50:04.240 I should have

00:50:06.700 never done this

00:50:07.780 and then it says

00:50:09.380 but Noah

00:50:10.200 found grace

00:50:10.900 in the eyes

00:50:11.380 of the Lord

00:50:11.920 that doesn't mean

00:50:13.140 he pulled Noah

00:50:13.760 out

00:50:14.060 he said

00:50:14.400 build a boat

00:50:15.040 Noah

00:50:15.400 Noah goes

00:50:16.760 okay

00:50:17.580 so he starts

00:50:18.500 building his boat

00:50:19.280 and it took him

00:50:19.880 a couple hundred years

00:50:20.760 or so

00:50:21.040 to build it

00:50:21.560 being scoffed at

00:50:22.820 and scorned

00:50:23.600 the entire time

00:50:24.460 spit

00:50:25.180 sped out

00:50:26.000 called every name

00:50:26.740 in the book

00:50:27.300 and he just

00:50:28.820 kept hammering

00:50:29.620 kept building it

00:50:30.740 kept going

00:50:31.360 kept going

00:50:31.980 and then here

00:50:32.740 comes the flood

00:50:33.500 now do you think

00:50:34.460 Noah was really excited

00:50:35.920 when the rain

00:50:36.600 started to pour

00:50:37.300 and the water

00:50:38.260 started gushing

00:50:39.020 out of the ground

00:50:39.760 and the earth

00:50:40.180 started to get flooded

00:50:40.860 every human being

00:50:42.120 he ever knew

00:50:42.780 in his life

00:50:43.380 even the wicked ones

00:50:44.760 that were his

00:50:45.180 next door neighbors

00:50:45.980 that he might have

00:50:46.580 shared some goat's milk

00:50:47.940 with or whatever

00:50:48.700 being a good neighbor

00:50:49.600 they're all gonna be gone

00:50:51.060 you think he was

00:50:51.680 really excited

00:50:52.540 and feeling great

00:50:54.240 about life

00:50:54.880 at that point

00:50:55.520 I bet he was

00:50:56.560 scared to death

00:50:57.720 when that started

00:50:58.340 to happen

00:50:58.600 and the boat

00:50:59.440 starts to float

00:51:00.260 and go up

00:51:01.400 and up

00:51:01.660 and up

00:51:01.960 and the same

00:51:02.620 flood

00:51:03.100 that destroyed

00:51:04.200 all the wicked

00:51:04.920 raised Noah

00:51:06.000 to safety

00:51:06.740 and he got

00:51:07.240 to start over

00:51:07.960 again

00:51:08.320 now if God

00:51:09.600 is the same

00:51:10.180 yesterday

00:51:10.640 today

00:51:11.080 and forever

00:51:11.820 and his word

00:51:13.140 does not change

00:51:14.020 which is what

00:51:14.520 the book says

00:51:15.280 that means

00:51:16.380 we change

00:51:17.200 and culture

00:51:17.700 changes

00:51:18.180 but he does not

00:51:19.340 so who are

00:51:21.080 a bunch of 1.00

00:51:21.520 fat lazy 1.00

00:51:22.200 American Christians 1.00

00:51:23.200 think they are

00:51:24.100 that they're gonna

00:51:24.620 be able to escape

00:51:25.600 what's coming

00:51:27.420 you can survive

00:51:29.060 what's coming

00:51:29.680 but you can't

00:51:30.300 escape it

00:51:30.960 and that's what

00:51:31.780 preachers don't

00:51:32.520 preach

00:51:32.980 that's why

00:51:34.340 people think

00:51:35.020 that they're gonna

00:51:35.480 escape all this

00:51:36.460 you asked a great

00:51:37.180 question

00:51:37.700 that is why

00:51:38.700 they think that

00:51:39.380 and that's a

00:51:39.840 dangerous place

00:51:40.580 to be in

00:51:41.160 mentally

00:51:41.960 because when

00:51:42.960 things do get

00:51:43.720 hard

00:51:44.020 you're not gonna

00:51:44.500 recognize them

00:51:45.280 for what they are

00:51:46.140 so it sounds

00:51:47.940 like you're saying

00:51:48.700 that part of the

00:51:49.520 deal is suffering

00:51:50.440 and you can't

00:51:52.380 lie to yourself

00:51:52.940 about that

00:51:53.600 you can lie to

00:51:57.540 yourself about

00:51:58.120 anything

00:51:58.640 yeah

00:51:59.300 yeah

00:52:00.200 I actually

00:52:00.940 I have

00:52:01.480 yeah

00:52:01.680 no I mean

00:52:03.600 who am I

00:52:04.100 I've got

00:52:04.380 listen I've got

00:52:05.080 a high school

00:52:05.600 diploma

00:52:06.100 I grew up

00:52:06.740 in a double

00:52:07.200 wide trailer

00:52:07.920 in Amarillo

00:52:08.580 Texas

00:52:09.060 my dad

00:52:10.100 spent his

00:52:10.600 life preaching

00:52:11.220 in prisons

00:52:11.860 and in

00:52:12.560 Mardi Gras 0.91

00:52:13.300 on the streets

00:52:14.660 of this country

00:52:15.540 I do not

00:52:16.680 come from

00:52:17.140 some hierarchy

00:52:18.020 family

00:52:18.680 but I think

00:52:20.980 that's where

00:52:21.740 a lot of us

00:52:22.280 come from

00:52:22.900 the truth

00:52:24.780 is not

00:52:25.160 complicated

00:52:25.880 it's just

00:52:27.500 difficult to

00:52:28.320 get your head

00:52:28.860 wrapped around

00:52:29.440 because it is

00:52:30.120 so abrupt

00:52:30.980 when you finally

00:52:32.020 run into it

00:52:32.980 you can't hide

00:52:34.240 from it

00:52:34.680 when you finally

00:52:35.220 see what it

00:52:35.840 is

00:52:36.200 most people

00:52:37.840 don't want to

00:52:38.260 talk that way

00:52:38.980 Tucker will

00:52:39.640 that's why

00:52:40.780 he got fired

00:52:41.480 that's why

00:52:41.940 a lot of

00:52:42.260 stuff's happened

00:52:42.840 to him

00:52:43.160 but it's also

00:52:43.920 why this room

00:52:44.520 is full of

00:52:44.960 people right

00:52:45.500 now

00:52:45.700 because you

00:52:46.220 want to

00:52:46.520 hear the

00:52:46.840 truth

00:52:47.240 just tell

00:52:48.520 me the

00:52:48.840 truth

00:52:49.260 it is

00:52:53.560 infuriating

00:52:54.580 to know

00:52:55.100 that every

00:52:55.540 day you

00:52:55.980 wake up

00:52:56.660 everything

00:52:57.320 you hear

00:52:58.120 is either

00:52:58.980 a straight

00:52:59.460 ahead lie

00:53:00.080 or a

00:53:00.500 twisted

00:53:00.880 version

00:53:01.300 of the

00:53:01.600 truth

00:53:01.980 and you're

00:53:02.680 to your

00:53:03.360 question

00:53:03.660 earlier

00:53:03.920 how am I

00:53:04.760 supposed to

00:53:05.240 know

00:53:05.420 what's

00:53:05.760 what

00:53:06.060 that's

00:53:06.700 where

00:53:06.840 discernment

00:53:07.380 comes in

00:53:07.840 but you

00:53:08.100 have to

00:53:08.400 ask for

00:53:08.840 that

00:53:09.120 human

00:53:09.640 beings

00:53:10.000 do not

00:53:10.360 innately

00:53:11.100 have

00:53:11.540 discernment

00:53:12.400 that's

00:53:13.700 not

00:53:13.840 something

00:53:14.080 we

00:53:14.280 have

00:53:14.700 you

00:53:15.580 have

00:53:15.700 to

00:53:15.820 ask

00:53:16.120 him

00:53:16.280 for

00:53:16.540 it

00:53:16.720 like

00:53:17.420 king

00:53:17.640 solomon

00:53:18.060 did

00:53:18.360 and many

00:53:18.680 others

00:53:19.060 and if

00:53:19.380 you do

00:53:19.720 ask him

00:53:20.160 for it

00:53:20.500 and you're

00:53:20.720 serious

00:53:21.060 about it

00:53:21.580 he'll give

00:53:22.400 it to you

00:53:22.840 he will

00:53:24.200 let you

00:53:24.680 know

00:53:25.040 when somebody

00:53:26.140 is a liar

00:53:26.860 and somebody 0.99

00:53:27.440 is telling

00:53:27.760 you the

00:53:28.060 truth

00:53:28.360 he will

00:53:28.680 let you

00:53:29.080 know

00:53:29.420 when you

00:53:30.060 read

00:53:30.460 something

00:53:31.000 or you're

00:53:32.120 trying to

00:53:32.500 read the

00:53:33.260 tea leaves

00:53:33.860 which is

00:53:34.240 what

00:53:34.460 literally

00:53:35.260 everybody

00:53:35.700 in this

00:53:36.240 room

00:53:36.580 and around

00:53:36.960 our

00:53:37.140 country

00:53:37.440 are trying

00:53:37.760 to do

00:53:38.100 right

00:53:38.360 now

00:53:38.620 put together

00:53:39.520 all these

00:53:40.020 jigsaw

00:53:40.560 puzzles

00:53:41.060 to try

00:53:41.780 to figure

00:53:42.080 out

00:53:42.260 what's

00:53:42.480 about

00:53:42.700 to

00:53:42.860 happen

00:53:43.280 he will

00:53:44.740 help

00:53:44.980 you

00:53:45.120 with

00:53:45.320 that

00:53:45.620 isn't

00:53:46.180 that

00:53:46.340 great

00:53:46.760 because

00:53:47.200 who

00:53:47.340 are

00:53:47.480 we

00:53:47.800 like

00:53:48.420 this

00:53:48.620 little

00:53:48.820 tiny

00:53:49.100 grain

00:53:49.400 of

00:53:49.580 sand

00:53:49.860 on the

00:53:50.160 world's

00:53:50.560 largest

00:53:50.900 beach

00:53:51.420 but he

00:53:52.160 cares

00:53:52.400 about

00:53:52.640 each

00:53:52.920 and

00:53:53.040 every

00:53:53.220 one

00:53:53.400 of

00:53:53.520 us

00:53:53.680 individually

00:53:54.200 it's

00:53:54.440 so

00:53:54.620 powerful

00:53:55.100 if you

00:53:55.600 can

00:53:55.680 ever

00:53:55.840 get

00:53:56.020 your

00:53:56.120 head

00:53:57.040 man

00:53:57.340 your

00:53:58.440 life

00:53:58.700 will

00:53:58.820 get

00:53:58.980 better

00:53:59.320 quickly

00:53:59.940 quickly

00:54:01.520 I hate

00:54:03.840 to ask

00:54:04.360 you but

00:54:04.680 can you

00:55:05.800 put

00:55:05.900 out

00:55:06.020 a

00:55:06.140 song

00:55:06.320 about

00:55:06.580 a

00:55:06.800 book

00:55:06.940 of

00:55:07.020 the

00:55:07.140 Bible

00:55:07.360 that

00:55:07.520 most

00:55:07.740 people

00:55:08.060 won't

00:55:08.400 even

00:55:08.640 flip

00:55:08.960 to

00:55:09.180 that's

00:55:10.360 what

00:55:10.500 he

00:59:16.440 someone else

00:59:17.140 out on

00:59:17.720 stage

00:59:18.100 and

00:59:18.400 I was

00:59:19.380 thinking

00:59:19.520 about it

00:59:19.780 today

00:59:20.000 and

00:59:20.260 I've been

00:59:20.820 on the

00:59:21.040 road

00:59:21.240 for like

00:59:21.640 30 years

00:59:22.160 just covering

00:59:22.660 stuff

00:59:23.080 and whenever

00:59:23.600 we're in a

00:59:24.100 different city

00:59:24.780 anywhere

00:59:25.380 anywhere

00:59:26.000 really

00:59:26.340 we always

00:59:26.800 have a

00:59:27.140 dinner

00:59:27.600 and I

00:59:28.520 always try

00:59:28.840 to invite

00:59:29.360 you know

00:59:29.660 as many

00:59:29.960 different

00:59:30.320 kinds of

00:59:30.740 interesting

00:59:31.000 people

00:59:31.340 as

00:59:31.520 possible

00:59:31.980 often

00:59:33.320 people

00:59:33.600 seem to

00:59:34.620 have

00:59:34.780 nothing

00:59:35.040 in

00:59:35.260 common

00:59:35.560 we once

00:59:36.080 had a

00:59:36.300 dinner

00:59:36.440 party

00:59:36.700 with

00:59:37.080 Alex

00:59:38.280 Jones

00:59:38.740 and Steve

00:59:39.920 Inskeep

00:59:40.560 from

00:59:41.260 National

00:59:41.640 Public

00:59:41.960 Radio

00:59:42.380 Steve

00:59:45.200 Inskeep

00:59:45.500 was

00:59:45.720 horrified

00:59:46.160 but anyway

00:59:46.560 the point

00:59:47.000 is

00:59:47.320 it's

00:59:48.320 interesting

00:59:48.700 to have

00:59:49.100 different

00:59:49.440 kinds

00:59:49.760 of

00:59:49.920 people

00:59:50.200 but one

00:59:50.700 thing

00:59:50.880 I've

00:59:51.080 noticed

00:59:51.300 in the

00:59:51.580 past

00:59:51.860 five or

00:59:52.660 six years

00:59:53.120 is that

00:59:53.620 people who

00:59:54.140 would seem

00:59:54.520 to have

00:59:54.860 nothing

00:59:55.480 in common

00:59:56.540 at all

00:59:57.520 sometimes

00:59:59.680 do have

01:00:00.380 deep

01:00:00.720 things in

01:00:01.200 common

01:00:01.420 and I

01:00:01.700 feel that

01:00:02.100 way

01:00:02.380 about

01:00:02.780 our

01:00:03.400 next

01:00:03.660 guest

01:00:04.000 Russell

01:00:04.440 Brand

01:00:04.800 who is

01:00:07.940 from a

01:00:08.300 completely

01:00:08.600 different

01:00:08.840 world

01:00:09.160 movie star

01:00:10.260 from

01:00:10.720 England

01:00:11.180 was on

01:00:12.260 what I

01:00:12.500 thought

01:00:12.700 was the

01:00:13.020 left

01:00:13.400 and I

01:00:16.060 wound up

01:00:16.660 believing

01:00:17.100 that I

01:00:17.440 had

01:00:17.600 everything

01:00:17.920 in

01:00:18.120 common

01:00:18.300 with

01:00:18.500 Russell

01:00:18.720 Brand

01:00:19.000 and then

01:00:19.300 of course

01:00:19.560 I found

01:00:19.840 out today

01:00:20.100 that

01:00:20.300 Russell

01:00:20.820 Brand

01:00:21.080 and John

01:00:21.480 Rich

01:00:21.780 who were

01:00:22.080 from

01:00:22.320 polar

01:00:22.640 you would

01:00:23.100 think

01:00:23.480 sort of

01:00:24.280 different

01:00:24.580 poles

01:00:25.120 in our

01:00:25.480 society

01:00:25.800 are also

01:00:26.160 friends

01:00:26.660 because we

01:00:28.040 have

01:00:28.140 everything

01:00:28.420 in

01:00:28.680 common

01:00:29.000 and

01:00:29.840 which is

01:00:30.500 to say

01:00:31.040 their

01:00:32.760 values

01:00:33.200 are

01:00:33.420 totally

01:00:33.780 aligned

01:00:34.280 and you're

01:00:34.820 seeing

01:00:35.100 that a

01:00:35.420 lot

01:00:35.620 as the

01:00:36.000 world

01:00:36.320 goes

01:00:36.940 crazy

01:00:37.500 and we're 0.94

01:00:38.840 filled with

01:00:39.280 sadness

01:00:39.720 watching it

01:00:40.360 and the

01:00:40.540 institutions

01:00:41.100 we grew up

01:00:41.800 with and

01:00:42.220 loved and

01:00:42.700 trusted

01:00:43.140 crumble

01:00:44.060 or betray

01:00:44.720 us

01:00:45.180 the flip

01:00:46.260 side of

01:00:46.700 that

01:00:46.880 the compensation

01:00:47.480 for that

01:00:48.240 the good

01:00:48.680 in the

01:00:48.980 world

01:00:49.320 is that

01:00:51.400 our relations

01:00:52.040 with other

01:00:52.480 people become

01:00:53.580 deeper

01:00:54.180 and more

01:00:54.860 real

01:00:55.240 and more

01:00:55.740 honest

01:00:56.080 and we

01:00:56.480 realize

01:00:57.020 actually

01:00:57.860 that things

01:00:59.280 we thought

01:00:59.860 divided us

01:01:00.940 are totally

01:01:01.400 irrelevant

01:01:01.860 and what

01:01:02.620 matters

01:01:03.160 is who

01:01:04.620 we really

01:01:05.040 are

01:01:05.340 and so

01:01:06.180 with that

01:01:07.480 as the

01:01:07.740 backdrop

01:01:08.100 I want

01:01:08.580 to invite

01:01:09.060 my friend

01:01:09.820 John's

01:01:10.400 friend

01:01:10.780 Russell Brand

01:01:11.800 thank you

01:01:16.760 Russell

01:01:17.220 so to

01:01:20.060 give the

01:01:20.520 audience

01:01:20.940 some

01:01:21.500 sense

01:01:23.280 of how

01:01:23.620 much

01:01:23.840 things

01:01:24.080 have

01:01:24.260 changed

01:01:24.760 I met

01:01:26.280 Russell

01:01:26.620 in his

01:01:26.940 dressing

01:01:27.260 room

01:01:27.560 a couple

01:01:27.880 hours

01:01:28.260 ago

01:01:28.560 and he

01:01:28.840 said

01:01:29.020 would you

01:01:29.900 come and

01:01:30.200 do a

01:01:30.400 podcast

01:01:30.760 with me

01:01:31.340 and I

01:01:31.620 thought

01:01:31.940 I don't

01:01:33.500 know

01:01:33.640 I thought

01:01:33.880 we were

01:01:34.060 going to

01:01:34.240 talk about

01:01:34.640 the news

01:01:34.980 of the

01:01:35.140 day

01:01:35.300 and I

01:01:35.540 get there

01:01:36.120 and there

01:01:36.740 are three

01:01:37.720 crackers

01:01:38.860 and two

01:01:40.160 cups of

01:01:41.060 grape juice

01:01:41.700 sitting on

01:01:43.100 the table

01:01:43.580 and I'm

01:01:43.880 thinking

01:01:44.040 Russell and

01:01:44.800 I don't

01:01:45.160 drink

01:01:45.380 so I'm

01:01:45.640 like

01:01:45.780 is that

01:01:46.260 wine

01:01:46.520 no it's

01:01:46.780 grape juice

01:01:47.120 what is

01:01:48.460 that

01:01:48.680 and he

01:01:48.860 said

01:01:48.980 we're

01:01:49.180 going to

01:01:49.300 have

01:01:49.460 communion

01:01:49.940 which I

01:01:53.000 loved

01:01:53.340 I don't

01:01:54.920 think we

01:01:55.220 would have

01:01:55.400 been doing

01:01:55.740 that three

01:01:56.200 years ago

01:01:56.700 Russell how

01:01:57.280 did you

01:01:57.540 get to a

01:01:57.880 place where

01:01:58.420 you're having

01:01:59.180 communion in

01:01:59.820 the green

01:02:00.180 room at

01:02:00.680 the arena

01:02:01.160 in Fort

01:02:01.640 Lauderdale

01:02:01.980 before the

01:02:02.360 show

01:02:02.560 it's been

01:02:04.680 an unusual

01:02:05.260 week

01:02:05.820 well I

01:02:10.740 feel that

01:02:11.920 I've been

01:02:12.940 saved

01:02:14.040 as we

01:02:19.200 were

01:02:19.360 discussing

01:02:19.760 earlier

01:02:20.800 and as

01:02:21.560 becomes

01:02:22.160 increasingly

01:02:23.180 evident

01:02:24.060 we're

01:02:25.320 no longer

01:02:26.160 discussing

01:02:27.560 trivial

01:02:28.480 material

01:02:29.480 ideological

01:02:30.260 or economic

01:02:31.340 differences

01:02:32.000 we are

01:02:33.000 discussing

01:02:33.460 spiritual

01:02:34.780 warfare

01:02:35.600 and the

01:02:36.580 necessity

01:02:37.580 for

01:02:38.580 absolute

01:02:39.300 victory

01:02:40.260 the

01:02:40.680 absolute

01:02:41.140 necessity

01:02:41.700 for

01:02:42.120 absolute

01:02:42.720 victory

01:02:43.380 and as

01:02:44.820 we have

01:02:45.420 to overcome

01:02:46.220 the dead

01:02:47.120 former person

01:02:48.240 in each

01:02:48.880 of us

01:02:49.420 and transcend

01:02:50.820 the same

01:02:52.800 must happen

01:02:53.300 I suppose

01:02:53.880 for our

01:02:54.200 culture

01:02:54.520 it seems

01:02:54.980 that we're

01:02:55.300 at a

01:02:55.540 critical

01:02:55.820 point

01:02:56.240 where

01:02:56.540 sort of

01:02:57.500 tweaks

01:02:58.040 and measurements

01:02:58.860 and levies

01:02:59.780 and tariffs

01:03:00.520 will be

01:03:01.180 insufficient

01:03:02.020 when it

01:03:03.100 appears

01:03:03.620 that a

01:03:04.000 diabolical

01:03:04.720 opponent is

01:03:05.520 concealed

01:03:06.020 behind the

01:03:06.640 mask of

01:03:07.340 globalism

01:03:08.160 this must

01:03:09.040 be confronted

01:03:09.680 in your

01:03:10.140 country

01:03:10.640 and in

01:03:11.280 mine

01:03:11.600 and across

01:03:12.120 the world

01:03:12.680 and frankly

01:03:14.360 John Rich

01:03:15.620 and I

01:03:16.020 have had

01:03:16.420 enough of it

01:03:17.440 and we've

01:03:17.660 decided to

01:03:18.220 wear a

01:03:18.500 uniform

01:03:18.960 well yeah

01:03:23.200 I did

01:03:24.440 notice that

01:03:25.160 we're

01:03:25.300 starting a

01:03:25.720 band

01:03:26.040 it's gonna

01:03:28.120 be good

01:03:28.480 Tucker

01:03:28.840 I'm a

01:03:30.520 little out

01:03:30.900 of step

01:03:39.620 socks

01:03:40.040 he's some

01:03:40.840 kind of

01:03:41.260 hippie

01:03:41.620 guy living 0.94

01:03:42.080 in the

01:03:42.340 woods

01:03:42.580 I don't

01:03:42.860 know

01:03:43.060 but Tucker

01:03:44.100 I thought

01:03:47.300 actually a

01:03:47.720 12 and

01:03:48.160 a half

01:03:48.460 not to

01:03:48.900 brag

01:03:51.240 feet are

01:03:51.620 pretty big

01:03:52.280 so I

01:03:53.660 don't know

01:03:54.760 these over

01:03:55.180 to you

01:03:55.540 but if

01:03:56.240 you're gonna

01:03:56.440 be in the

01:04:10.200 audience

01:04:10.560 tonight

01:04:28.320 the course of

01:04:28.900 the evening

01:04:29.160 I would have

01:04:29.580 thought to

01:04:45.860 three of

01:05:18.840 it's quite

01:05:19.240 intense isn't

01:05:19.740 it but

01:05:20.420 John Rich

01:05:21.220 out-intensed

01:05:22.780 Jordan

01:05:23.800 Peterson

01:05:32.440 earlier actually

01:05:33.360 I've been

01:05:33.720 thinking about

01:05:34.300 this

01:05:34.480 no accept

01:05:35.560 him as

01:05:35.820 your lord

01:05:36.200 and saviour

01:05:36.800 you're not

01:05:38.660 being Christian

01:05:48.580 written a book

01:05:49.200 wrestling with

01:05:49.860 God

01:05:50.200 it's taken

01:05:51.160 quite a lot

01:05:51.740 of time

01:05:52.160 it's quite

01:05:52.640 an endeavour

01:05:53.120 you're not

01:05:53.700 Christian

01:05:54.160 enough

01:06:03.380 actual

01:06:04.040 rapture

01:06:05.260 and battles

01:06:06.000 between the

01:06:06.560 archangel

01:06:07.200 Michael

01:06:07.720 and Satan

01:06:22.900 Lauderdale

01:06:31.640 oppress

01:06:31.960 them

01:06:32.100 you can

01:06:32.420 lie to

01:06:32.920 them

01:06:33.120 you can

01:06:33.660 belittle

01:06:34.080 them

01:06:34.300 you can

01:06:34.840 try and

01:06:35.280 take away

01:06:35.800 their God

01:06:36.460 but they

01:06:36.980 will rise

01:06:37.840 up

01:06:38.180 these

01:06:38.520 people

01:06:39.000 they

01:06:39.660 will

01:06:39.840 withstand

01:06:40.280 hurricanes

01:06:41.300 they

01:06:42.160 will

01:06:42.360 overwhelm

01:06:43.200 lies

01:06:43.880 you

01:06:45.440 can

01:06:45.760 try and

01:06:46.380 put a

01:06:46.740 pastiche

01:06:47.440 of

01:06:47.680 phony

01:06:48.240 joy

01:06:48.760 on

01:06:49.120 a

01:06:49.600 parade

01:06:50.060 of

01:06:50.500 grins

01:06:51.140 and of

01:06:51.460 patronisation

01:06:52.440 turn

01:06:53.360 the page

01:06:54.280 but the

01:06:54.840 people of

01:06:55.300 Fort Lauderdale

01:06:56.400 are already

01:06:57.700 awake

01:06:58.360 amen

01:07:00.000 get her 0.89

01:07:07.480 done

01:07:07.840 get her 0.89

01:07:08.580 done

01:07:09.040 you

01:07:13.540 I always

01:07:14.620 ask you

01:07:15.060 this in

01:07:15.440 public and

01:07:15.900 in private

01:07:16.220 but I

01:07:16.520 can never

01:07:16.820 control

01:07:17.180 myself

01:07:17.620 when was

01:07:18.500 the moment

01:07:18.900 you found

01:07:19.860 yourself

01:07:20.280 awake

01:07:20.760 this is

01:07:23.040 me

01:07:23.340 because

01:07:23.840 you've

01:07:24.220 had

01:07:24.500 John

01:07:24.760 on

01:07:24.940 John's

01:07:25.380 done

01:07:25.640 like

01:07:25.920 an

01:07:26.040 intense

01:07:26.400 song

01:07:26.780 and

01:07:26.880 everything

01:07:27.180 his

01:07:27.420 revelation

01:07:27.880 song

01:07:28.300 so it's

01:07:28.960 difficult

01:07:29.180 I think

01:07:29.680 when you

01:07:30.060 interview

01:07:30.400 a musician

01:07:30.960 and the

01:07:31.740 musician

01:07:32.080 does

01:07:32.380 their

01:07:32.600 song

01:07:33.060 you have

01:07:33.660 to sort

01:07:33.900 of

01:07:33.960 just

01:07:34.100 go

01:07:34.340 like

01:07:36.560 while

01:07:36.740 John's

01:07:37.000 going

01:07:37.140 revelation

01:07:38.760 there's

01:07:39.860 an angel

01:07:40.760 coming

01:07:41.480 back

01:07:41.980 again

01:07:42.680 hey

01:07:43.740 well done

01:07:44.300 it was

01:07:45.180 amazing

01:07:45.680 he is

01:07:46.340 amazing

01:07:46.960 is that

01:07:47.540 the rage

01:07:48.040 against

01:07:48.340 the

01:07:48.500 machine

01:07:48.840 version

01:07:49.240 of what

01:07:49.580 I sound

01:07:50.020 like

01:07:50.320 what is

01:07:50.700 that

01:07:50.940 Russell

01:07:51.700 come on

01:07:52.320 it's gonna

01:07:52.640 work this

01:07:53.140 band

01:07:53.420 eventually

01:07:53.860 I think

01:07:54.240 try and

01:07:54.620 get the

01:07:54.840 boots on

01:07:55.260 now

01:07:55.500 what are

01:07:55.820 you gonna

01:07:56.080 play

01:07:56.480 yeah I

01:07:58.220 mean

01:07:58.460 frankly I

01:07:59.380 was just

01:07:59.620 gonna stand

01:08:00.240 in the

01:08:00.520 background

01:08:00.860 and

01:08:01.240 hope that

01:08:02.540 not to

01:08:03.020 get

01:08:03.140 overwhelmed

01:08:03.540 by it

01:08:03.920 all

01:08:04.080 now

01:08:04.520 when did

01:08:05.280 the

01:08:05.420 awakening

01:08:05.680 happen

01:08:06.040 and the

01:08:06.260 awakening

01:08:06.520 is continually

01:08:07.260 happening

01:08:07.880 Tucker

01:08:08.440 isn't it

01:08:08.940 because this

01:08:09.760 is the

01:08:10.100 I suppose

01:08:10.680 I will

01:08:11.460 say this

01:08:12.040 when we

01:08:13.140 have these

01:08:13.500 conversations

01:08:13.980 and you

01:08:14.380 sort of

01:08:14.600 say that

01:08:14.920 you're from

01:08:15.200 the right

01:08:15.620 and like

01:08:16.160 you've

01:08:16.480 you know

01:08:17.080 worked in

01:08:17.520 legacy media

01:08:18.240 all those

01:08:18.720 years

01:08:19.000 and actually

01:08:19.560 when I'm

01:08:19.800 talking to

01:08:20.300 like John

01:08:21.120 Rich on

01:08:21.660 a recent

01:08:22.080 podcast

01:08:22.680 we chatted

01:08:24.020 me and

01:08:24.420 John

01:08:24.620 I love

01:08:25.780 John

01:08:26.080 because I

01:08:26.400 love his

01:08:26.720 intensity

01:08:27.240 you look

01:08:27.640 at him

01:08:27.880 like he's

01:08:28.620 like even

01:08:29.060 now I

01:08:30.000 can feel

01:08:30.500 his eyes

01:08:30.960 pouring into

01:08:31.680 me

01:08:31.940 you're not

01:08:32.880 being

01:08:33.180 Christian

01:08:33.780 enough

01:08:34.340 I'm trying

01:08:35.980 this is

01:08:36.500 as Christian

01:08:37.340 as I can

01:08:37.860 be

01:08:38.180 it's not

01:08:39.280 good enough

01:08:39.860 like

01:08:41.660 I'm not

01:08:44.860 like I'm

01:08:45.640 from England

01:08:46.120 so I don't

01:08:46.580 know what

01:08:46.880 goes on

01:08:47.360 in you know

01:08:47.920 I don't

01:08:48.320 understand your

01:08:49.020 country I

01:08:49.680 don't understand

01:08:50.340 anything you

01:08:51.500 know if it

01:08:51.840 was like I

01:08:52.420 thought it was

01:08:52.920 fantastic when

01:08:53.900 Barack Obama

01:08:54.700 became president

01:08:55.440 of your country

01:08:55.940 well that's

01:08:56.360 fantastic

01:08:57.100 Fort Lauderdale

01:09:01.660 Fort Lauderdale

01:09:04.140 because I

01:09:07.780 thought

01:09:08.060 what a

01:09:09.480 wonderful

01:09:09.780 indication of

01:09:10.540 the progress

01:09:11.060 of this

01:09:11.440 nation

01:09:11.840 2008

01:09:12.940 you will

01:09:13.660 recall that

01:09:14.240 there was a

01:09:14.640 terrible financial

01:09:15.440 crash across

01:09:16.580 the world

01:09:17.200 and that the

01:09:17.720 instigators of

01:09:19.300 this economic

01:09:19.960 nightmare which

01:09:20.720 continues to

01:09:21.320 affect people

01:09:21.840 not only in

01:09:22.300 this country

01:09:22.740 but across

01:09:23.260 the world

01:09:23.940 ought to

01:09:25.900 have led to

01:09:26.480 a reckoning

01:09:27.140 of financial

01:09:28.400 systems

01:09:29.060 ought to

01:09:29.760 have led to

01:09:30.820 a reckoning

01:09:31.380 of the type

01:09:31.980 of elites

01:09:32.680 that managed

01:09:33.660 to maraud

01:09:34.500 unseen

01:09:35.280 behind visual

01:09:36.820 government

01:09:37.280 if there

01:09:38.040 is a power

01:09:38.740 that is

01:09:39.280 veiled

01:09:39.720 it is the

01:09:40.200 power that

01:09:41.000 goes unchecked

01:09:42.260 when events

01:09:42.720 like 2008

01:09:43.660 take place

01:09:44.880 I never

01:09:45.700 would have

01:09:46.000 considered

01:09:46.380 myself a

01:09:47.160 person

01:09:47.760 that would

01:09:48.900 have even

01:09:50.640 conceived of

01:09:51.540 voting for a

01:09:53.480 Republican of

01:09:54.340 any variety

01:09:54.700 for me my

01:09:55.160 memories of the

01:09:55.780 Republican Party

01:09:56.380 is like George

01:09:57.340 Bush and

01:09:58.160 Cheney and

01:09:59.340 Iraq War and

01:10:01.040 weapons of mass

01:10:01.860 destruction and

01:10:03.100 needless loss of

01:10:04.180 lives of Americans

01:10:05.100 Americans and

01:10:05.460 Iraqis and

01:10:06.200 British people

01:10:06.780 and people

01:10:07.100 across the

01:10:07.520 world as a

01:10:07.940 result of

01:10:08.360 those conflicts

01:10:09.180 we're now

01:10:10.280 beyond partisanship

01:10:12.120 as I said

01:10:13.700 last time we

01:10:14.260 spoke when

01:10:14.760 Tulsi Gabbard and

01:10:15.900 Bobby Kennedy

01:10:16.640 joined the

01:10:18.180 MAGA movement

01:10:19.540 it became clear

01:10:21.640 to me that what

01:10:22.400 we're dealing

01:10:22.860 with is beyond

01:10:24.240 the typical

01:10:25.140 political

01:10:26.100 taxonomies

01:10:27.500 this is indeed

01:10:28.680 something deeper

01:10:29.840 and more

01:10:30.720 profound

01:10:31.340 I feel that

01:10:32.900 there's a

01:10:33.320 kind of

01:10:34.100 attempt to

01:10:35.080 mask in

01:10:35.920 language lies

01:10:37.140 and words

01:10:38.300 something very

01:10:39.660 very powerful

01:10:40.440 malfeasant and

01:10:41.500 nefarious

01:10:42.180 behind these

01:10:43.380 bureaucracies that

01:10:44.520 legislate and

01:10:45.340 control that

01:10:46.300 curtail and

01:10:47.520 limit prohibit

01:10:48.680 and break down

01:10:49.800 institutions that

01:10:50.820 seem sacred and

01:10:51.940 timeless

01:10:52.620 ineffable

01:10:54.000 difficult to

01:10:55.500 understand and

01:10:57.320 impossible to

01:10:58.000 decry

01:10:58.420 I never thought

01:10:59.660 that we would

01:11:00.000 reach a point

01:11:00.620 where I'd find

01:11:01.180 myself saying

01:11:01.920 in this election

01:11:03.240 something has to

01:11:03.900 be done to

01:11:04.780 disrupt what's

01:11:07.820 happening

01:11:08.280 see me so

01:11:10.520 when you say

01:11:11.180 like awakening

01:11:12.000 I've awoken

01:11:13.780 from being a

01:11:14.380 drug addict

01:11:14.880 I've awoken

01:11:15.600 from thousands

01:11:16.440 of obsessions

01:11:17.420 and compulsions

01:11:18.440 and now what

01:11:19.640 I've awoken

01:11:20.300 from is the

01:11:21.100 idea that people

01:11:21.920 that talk about

01:11:22.680 protecting the

01:11:23.540 vulnerable have

01:11:24.660 any concern

01:11:25.440 other than the

01:11:26.160 maintenance and

01:11:27.180 exertion of

01:11:28.040 further power

01:11:28.860 I think it's

01:11:29.520 happening in my

01:11:30.140 country I think

01:11:30.780 it's happening in

01:11:31.340 your country I

01:11:32.000 think it's

01:11:32.220 happening in

01:11:32.680 France in

01:11:33.340 Canada across

01:11:34.400 the world

01:11:34.960 masquerading under

01:11:35.980 the auspices and

01:11:37.480 livery of

01:11:38.260 liberalism is

01:11:39.320 something darkly

01:11:40.300 authoritarian and

01:11:41.280 anything that can

01:11:42.340 disrupt it prevent

01:11:43.860 it or stop it

01:11:45.960 proceeding I think

01:11:46.940 is vital so

01:11:48.740 awakening I think

01:11:50.060 is like an

01:11:50.480 ongoing thing

01:11:51.200 Tucker

01:11:51.540 we hear a lot

01:11:53.360 from viewers about

01:11:54.400 big tech censorship

01:11:56.120 censorship and

01:11:56.420 those reports are

01:11:57.320 more frequent than

01:11:58.080 ever right now

01:11:58.920 censorship meaning

01:11:59.820 shutting down your

01:12:01.500 access to

01:12:02.420 information not

01:12:03.320 lies or

01:12:03.980 misinformation but

01:12:05.100 true things it's

01:12:06.680 only the truth that

01:12:07.480 they censor facts

01:12:09.160 that get in the way

01:12:10.160 of the lies they're

01:12:11.000 trying to tell you

01:12:11.860 the net effect of

01:12:12.820 this of course is

01:12:14.200 interfering in the

01:12:15.360 2024 presidential

01:12:16.860 elections that's why

01:12:17.760 they're censoring more

01:12:18.460 than ever now because

01:12:19.160 the stakes are even

01:12:19.840 higher you're probably

01:12:20.700 not shocked by this

01:12:21.780 but the specific

01:12:23.120 examples of it do

01:12:24.720 throw you back a 0.83

01:12:25.440 little bit we've

01:12:26.320 seen screenshots and

01:12:27.240 videos showing how

01:12:28.220 we google search to

01:12:29.220 learn more about the

01:12:29.920 attempted assassination

01:12:30.980 on Donald Trump

01:12:32.240 instead push users to

01:12:34.500 information on Harry

01:12:35.400 Truman or Bob Marley

01:12:36.700 or the Pope anything

01:12:38.460 other than the

01:12:39.800 relevant truth which

01:12:41.020 is that they just shot

01:12:42.200 Trump in the face

01:12:43.380 they don't want you to

01:12:44.880 know that because it

01:12:45.680 might help Trump

01:12:46.540 we've seen examples

01:12:47.580 where Facebook marked

01:12:48.660 true photos of a

01:12:49.820 bloodied and defiant

01:12:50.700 Trump as misleading

01:12:52.080 somehow those pictures

01:12:53.460 were a lie and then

01:12:54.240 limited their

01:12:54.700 visibility its AI

01:12:56.700 assistant explicitly

01:12:57.540 denied the shooting

01:12:58.200 ever took place this

01:12:59.000 is insanity but it's

01:13:00.380 at the core of big

01:13:01.920 text editorial policy

01:13:03.000 which is denying the

01:13:04.360 truth to you in order

01:13:05.760 to control the outcome

01:13:06.680 of this presidential

01:13:07.480 election that's not

01:13:08.120 democracy we've seen

01:13:09.820 examples where a

01:13:10.420 generic search for

01:13:11.200 information about

01:13:11.820 Donald Trump was

01:13:12.840 automatically rephrased

01:13:14.540 to show positive

01:13:15.740 stories about Kamala

01:13:16.980 Harris instead is

01:13:18.460 there any clear

01:13:19.380 example of election

01:13:20.580 interference so what

01:13:23.800 do you do about it

01:13:24.600 well Parler has been

01:13:26.980 down this road

01:13:27.680 Parler is pulled

01:13:28.340 right off the internet

01:13:29.020 for telling the truth

01:13:30.020 but it's back and

01:13:31.540 it's reaffirmed its

01:13:33.020 lifelong unwavering

01:14:31.760 get the Parler app today

01:14:32.940 you you became a

01:14:49.220 Christian and you were

01:14:51.800 baptized several months

01:14:54.160 ago it does seem like

01:14:56.460 you're not the only one

01:14:57.860 it seems like people

01:14:59.120 while speak for myself

01:14:59.980 who grew up in a

01:15:00.740 completely secular world

01:15:02.220 or all of a sudden

01:15:03.220 seeing that there's

01:15:04.400 more out there than

01:15:06.100 our five senses can

01:15:07.400 perceive do you sense

01:15:10.420 some kind of some kind

01:15:12.440 of Christian awakening

01:15:14.320 in our society in the

01:15:17.280 West or is that my

01:15:19.040 imagination I don't

01:15:20.280 think it's your

01:15:20.760 imagination though you've

01:15:21.680 got a wonderful

01:15:22.140 imagination Tucker no

01:15:23.220 one would deny that

01:15:24.040 that's true I was

01:15:26.900 listening at the side

01:15:27.960 of the stage to John's

01:15:30.020 beautiful song and for

01:15:32.260 a moment I did consider

01:15:33.780 that perhaps I suppose

01:15:36.340 people are pondering

01:15:37.080 this now maybe we will

01:15:38.480 be alive for the return

01:15:40.500 of Christ for the

01:15:42.100 physical actual return

01:15:44.060 of Christ for the

01:15:45.200 second coming because I

01:15:47.220 can't imagine how long

01:15:48.840 things could go on being

01:15:50.500 so subtly Luciferian

01:15:52.800 without opposition yeah it

01:15:55.120 seems like there's a

01:15:56.160 Christian awakening yeah

01:15:57.580 it's evident the more

01:15:58.520 that I learn the more

01:15:59.380 that I read scripture

01:16:00.280 the more that I listen

01:16:01.000 to people that know a

01:16:02.100 lot more than I do

01:16:03.240 about this subject and

01:16:04.140 the Lord alone knows

01:16:05.040 there's enough of them

01:16:05.900 the more it seems plain

01:16:07.460 and evident to me that

01:16:09.420 we are at some kind of

01:16:11.000 precipice at something of

01:16:12.780 a reckoning I don't know

01:16:13.880 what it's going to auger

01:16:14.940 I don't know what will

01:16:16.460 be born I don't know

01:16:18.120 what's coming forth but

01:16:20.020 something in me believes

01:16:21.840 that it is not the

01:16:22.920 dystopia that is being

01:16:25.180 currently imposed I think

01:16:27.860 that something significant

01:16:29.120 is happening like when

01:16:30.620 my earlier encounters of

01:16:31.980 Christianity I felt like

01:16:34.640 it was a sort of a

01:16:35.760 placebo a panacea a

01:16:38.320 palliative a kind of 0.99

01:16:40.000 offering to dumb you

01:16:41.640 down and to distract you 0.95

01:16:43.280 I don't know how I

01:16:44.900 managed to avoid the

01:16:46.240 deep and profound truth

01:16:47.600 I don't know how I

01:16:48.480 suppose it's because of

01:16:49.160 this like we were

01:16:49.680 discussing earlier if

01:16:50.800 someone says to you

01:16:51.800 do you believe that God

01:16:53.960 came to earth in the

01:16:55.080 form of a man and died

01:16:57.280 that you could be

01:16:58.640 forgiven and redeemed

01:16:59.880 and rose again that you

01:17:01.080 may live in eternity my

01:17:02.660 rational mind coached as

01:17:05.600 I have been by a culture

01:17:06.960 apostasy the apostasy I

01:17:09.600 commit now is the

01:17:10.520 apostasy of a culture

01:17:11.900 that increasingly we're

01:17:12.960 realizing is appalling and

01:17:15.800 disgusting every day

01:17:16.740 there's another story 0.83

01:17:17.580 whether it's Epstein or

01:17:19.360 tales of Hollywood

01:17:20.560 corruption and

01:17:22.220 debauchery for me to

01:17:26.260 go beyond what my

01:17:27.640 rational mind such as

01:17:28.840 it is can understand

01:17:29.900 to believe in order that

01:17:32.020 I can receive to believe

01:17:33.960 and accept that Christ

01:17:35.400 died for me that he

01:17:36.600 died for each of us

01:17:37.700 individually died for

01:17:39.320 all of us collectively

01:17:40.500 that that's beyond my

01:17:42.100 comprehension because my

01:17:43.400 comprehension is so

01:17:44.440 limited it's been it

01:17:47.760 has brought me a piece

01:17:48.840 beyond all understanding

01:17:50.300 so I love I want to

01:17:54.000 ask each of you I want

01:17:56.420 to ask you to flesh that

01:17:57.480 out and John for your

01:17:58.600 response you said you

01:18:00.660 sense that the dystopia

01:18:02.420 that's building and it's

01:18:03.500 obvious I'm not even

01:18:04.480 going to describe it but

01:18:05.500 the centralization of

01:18:07.200 power the intense

01:18:08.800 anti-human impulses that

01:18:11.580 our leaders seem to have

01:18:12.740 the main goal seems to be

01:18:13.820 to hurt people prevent

01:18:15.120 them from having children

01:18:16.320 by the way if someone

01:18:18.740 doesn't want you to have

01:18:19.500 children he hates you

01:18:21.000 that's the measure when

01:18:22.900 you love someone you love

01:18:23.880 your children you want

01:18:24.440 to have children if you

01:18:25.160 don't want people to have

01:18:25.620 children you hate them

01:18:26.740 really simple so you see

01:18:28.420 all of this happening

01:18:29.600 globally at the same time

01:18:30.740 and you feel like wow in

01:18:32.520 10 years this really is

01:18:33.840 going to be a totalitarian

01:18:36.240 global state but you're

01:18:37.780 saying you feel that's not

01:18:39.720 actually the future in your

01:18:40.780 gut you don't think that's

01:18:41.700 going to happen I can't

01:18:45.220 believe that that is what's

01:18:47.200 happening and that's not

01:18:48.280 what's prophesied everything

01:18:50.980 that's unfolding and again

01:18:53.320 I'm very new to this you know

01:18:54.760 like I've only been Christian

01:18:56.220 six months I've been under

01:18:57.560 quite a lot of pressure

01:18:58.460 but them apostles hadn't been

01:19:07.540 doing it long had they John

01:19:08.680 they were out there getting

01:19:09.600 amongst it spreading the good

01:19:10.920 word trying to save the world

01:19:12.200 and for me yeah it's very much

01:19:13.940 the Christianity of

01:19:15.500 revelation not the Romans 13

01:19:17.260 that tells you to obey the

01:19:19.040 government I don't know I

01:19:20.400 don't know who slipped that in

01:19:21.400 there I'm very much I'm very

01:19:25.480 much this is it this is the

01:19:28.600 this is it this is what we're

01:19:29.900 here to do this is it it's

01:19:31.140 happening it's unfolding

01:19:32.340 before us so can I like what

01:19:36.560 was the question talk because

01:19:37.460 I've got so excited about the

01:19:38.580 people of Fort Lauderdale

01:19:39.180 the question was a nice hockey

01:19:41.020 rink that there was a glimmer

01:19:43.060 of cowboy boots on the stage

01:19:45.220 how are we to make sense of

01:19:48.000 this you're wearing gingham as

01:19:49.880 usual I only have one shirt and

01:19:53.660 I wear it every day and I'm

01:19:54.820 really happy with it I wear it

01:19:56.100 fishing shooting sitting on

01:19:58.100 stage it's the all-purpose

01:19:59.380 shirt highly recommended no we

01:20:02.140 spend our lives you and I John

01:20:04.100 is a has a much more decent

01:20:05.780 life but we spend our lives

01:20:07.580 describing everything that's

01:20:08.940 terrible and where this is

01:20:10.040 going and you offered a glimmer

01:20:12.320 of hope and you said I can't

01:20:13.580 imagine that there isn't victory

01:20:15.280 well yeah I mean this is what I'm

01:20:19.580 saying something so profound and

01:20:22.860 unusual has happened to me after

01:20:24.620 you know I've done a lot I've

01:20:26.400 spent my life hedonistically I've

01:20:29.120 indulged in epicureanism I've

01:20:31.660 experienced a lot of the things

01:20:32.740 that the culture tells you you're

01:20:33.840 supposed to do get famous enjoy

01:20:36.360 yes sir absolutely are you still

01:20:39.140 are you still expecting an ice

01:20:40.440 hockey match it's difficult for me to

01:20:44.000 contextualize that at this distance

01:20:45.620 what I would say is why do I feel

01:20:49.100 optimistic about this because my

01:20:51.700 belief in Christ is beyond the

01:20:54.380 rational mind it is a feeling of a

01:20:56.980 rising God present in all of us it

01:20:59.480 is the knowledge that I am forgiven

01:21:00.740 that we are all forgiven that none of

01:21:02.560 us are pretending to be perfect none of

01:21:04.140 us are trying to hold ourselves up to

01:21:06.100 the measurements of this culture that

01:21:08.220 transcendence and the revelation is

01:21:10.580 available to all of us right now why do

01:21:12.520 I feel optimistic about it because

01:21:14.260 something very strange is happening I

01:21:16.760 think when I find myself in Fort

01:21:18.020 Lauderdale sat between Tucker Carlson

01:21:19.680 and John Rich talking about Jesus

01:21:22.220 Jesus yeah he'll work it out we don't

01:21:30.840 have to do anything anyway do we we can

01:21:33.080 just relax here and try and force Tucker

01:21:35.340 Carlson into those shoes

01:21:36.680 well you brought up the word dystopian you

01:21:40.920 know I think in a lot of our minds we

01:21:42.680 read the book of Revelation and we

01:21:44.300 envision what the world must look like

01:21:46.240 when that book is playing out and it

01:21:48.040 looks like a apocalypse movie to us but

01:21:51.360 it won't look like that it does not say

01:21:53.340 that it says back to Noah as it was in

01:21:56.500 the days of Noah so shall it be at the

01:21:58.800 end times and it says in the days of

01:22:01.400 Noah they were eating and drinking and

01:22:03.900 marrying and giving in marriage they

01:22:06.020 were going on with regular life the

01:22:07.760 world was not falling apart it was just

01:22:09.960 wicked and Noah was living in the

01:22:12.700 middle of that so it's not gonna look 0.63

01:22:14.380 like some apocalypse movie before he

01:22:16.940 comes back it's gonna be they're not

01:22:19.160 gonna like us very much anybody that

01:22:21.020 won't submit or bend to the will of

01:22:23.540 this of this empire that's gonna come up

01:22:25.480 there where I think we're watching

01:22:26.440 being built right now they're not gonna

01:22:28.620 like us very much but it's not gonna look

01:22:30.600 like some apocalypse movie isn't that

01:22:32.300 interesting yeah and and the truth is

01:22:34.680 and I'll stop but the Lord wins he wins in

01:22:40.800 the end he destroys all of them and we we

01:22:44.120 win with him so that's the victory it

01:22:46.580 happens at the end you just have to go

01:22:48.120 through the you have to go through the

01:22:49.640 rut to get there oh why I like what John

01:22:51.820 Rich just said if I may tell you Tucker

01:22:53.540 even though I know you were here and

01:22:54.840 you're just there and he's there look it's

01:22:57.540 like that what I liked is John Rich was

01:22:59.200 describing worldliness mundanity banality

01:23:02.840 and what I'm experiencing is the kind of

01:23:05.320 banalization and desacralization of

01:23:08.880 everything you're right it isn't like

01:23:11.040 sort of some roaring and demonic

01:23:13.540 hellscape it's a sort of crushing

01:23:15.840 ordinariness it's a crushing mundanity

01:23:18.380 it's the crushing of the spirit that

01:23:20.240 your life is sort of trite and rote and

01:23:22.940 here you are devour your gruel and stare 0.88

01:23:26.200 at your sticky screen endlessly like it's

01:23:30.280 not even that dramatic or barbaric you're

01:23:33.180 right it's the it's the mechanical tedium

01:23:36.020 of a global bureaucracy that sees

01:23:38.860 everything as data that would patent

01:23:41.000 seeds that would patent life itself that

01:23:43.820 would see ovaries as little more than a

01:23:47.300 resource all things mundial literally of

01:23:51.000 the world worldliness the flesh and the

01:23:54.840 devil are the opponents that we must be

01:23:57.500 aware of John you're right and it is the

01:23:59.880 tediousness I suppose that we must oppose

01:24:02.540 through his glory and perhaps through

01:24:06.340 these shirts and those little booties

01:24:08.520 the shirts are an act of defiance

01:24:15.620 so I am struck you put it so nicely the

01:24:21.600 sticky screens will keep me up at night

01:24:23.980 thinking about what exactly that I hope

01:24:25.560 not

01:24:25.940 no I'm praying I'm praying for you I'm

01:24:29.660 praying for all of us that was a joke I

01:24:31.040 just did a joke sorry but I was taught to

01:24:35.240 believe that when totalitarian government

01:24:38.740 came people would be marching through my 1.00

01:24:40.580 town and I'd have to salute them I didn't

01:24:43.720 realize it would be like a heavyset middle-aged

01:24:46.520 woman kind of scolding me about health 1.00

01:24:48.820 we read a bit of George Orwell before

01:24:53.660 Tucker and I and of course if you think of

01:24:56.540 the ongoing portrayal of Trump as a kind

01:24:59.560 of throwback as they continually say that

01:25:02.180 he is a dystopic dictator and that he'll

01:25:04.640 make himself president for life but indeed it

01:25:07.540 is more these anodyne bureaucracies that

01:25:10.340 are vividly portrayed in the right as the

01:25:13.800 Czech writer Franz Kafka's work who talks

01:25:16.380 about unknowable bureaucratic entities that

01:25:19.600 can accuse you of stuff and you never know

01:25:21.460 quite where it's coming from or Aldous Huxley

01:25:23.900 who writes not about dystopias in fact but

01:25:26.260 utopias where everything is one because

01:25:29.440 the key thing is of course the replacement of

01:25:32.660 God once you've extracted God then they are

01:25:35.900 God once you have denied people access to the

01:25:39.060 divine then you are free to replace God in 0.78

01:25:41.980 their lives you are free to issue new creeds

01:25:45.060 you are free to issue new dictums and I

01:25:48.440 thought it was very beautiful in that bit

01:25:50.600 of Orwell from 1984 that we was reading

01:25:52.820 me and Tucker before we was having a chat

01:25:54.940 back there but when it says that famous bit

01:25:57.080 from George Orwell when it like he talks

01:25:59.680 about the dystopia that's being created and

01:26:01.600 he says if you want to have an image you'll

01:26:03.040 know this line because you are well educated

01:26:04.840 beautiful people of Fort Lauderdale if you

01:26:08.420 want to imagine the future of humanity says

01:26:12.000 the leader or a mouthpiece of the dictatorship

01:26:15.200 depicted in 1984 he says imagine a boot

01:26:18.200 stamping on a human face forever now that's

01:26:21.800 not like the the jack boot of the very real

01:26:25.760 Nazis it's the identity of the human face

01:26:28.980 in whose image were you made in whose image

01:26:32.420 were you made if you can stamp out and grind

01:26:35.520 out the God from man then you are free to

01:26:38.800 replace them and what could be more

01:26:40.660 diabolical more luciferian more evil than

01:26:44.780 that

01:26:45.180 can I ask how many people in your orbit

01:26:52.120 friends of yours people you talk to every

01:26:54.580 day understand what you've just said and see

01:26:59.580 no no I don't mean understand the words you've

01:27:01.520 said but understand the terms that maybe we're

01:27:04.380 not just looking at like a presidential election or

01:27:07.860 referendums against the EU or debates over climate

01:27:12.160 change or war or whatever but that this is all part of

01:27:14.760 something much larger reorganization of the world into

01:27:18.440 what you just described

01:27:19.240 revivalism has happened before hasn't it there's

01:27:22.200 been revivalism in my country there's been

01:27:24.040 revivalism here famously and and even in the 60s and 70s

01:27:28.820 someone was telling me today there was a revival of

01:27:31.620 Christianity I think it's difficult for I don't know if it's difficult for

01:27:35.880 people to understand count we used to think that the counter

01:27:38.120 culture was going to provide rebellion

01:27:41.140 radicalism anti-establish materialism that's in fact the place where you and

01:27:45.860 I met was I mean not literally but I mean sort of

01:27:48.800 spiritually as it were was you don't trust the establishment I don't trust the

01:27:53.380 establishment I mean people say no when did Russell get red peeled and when you

01:27:56.520 know Russell with you are a Republican type stuff because I believe in

01:27:59.280 individual freedom I believe that the government shouldn't get involved I feel

01:28:02.980 like you want to just leave people to hell alone but like but what the

01:28:06.560 difference is or the distinction is I suppose that you know like I've adored

01:28:11.200 counter-cultural figures that have come out of your country civil rights

01:28:15.100 leaders these are like magnificent people often curiously enough deeply

01:28:19.840 religious people they're willing to sacrifice their lives for a higher good

01:28:24.740 I think it's hard for people in my circle as you ask to equate Christianity

01:28:30.820 which has somehow been through slander through hyperbole through blasphemy

01:28:36.500 reduced to something I don't know quite what it's been reduced to banalized

01:28:41.300 criticized blasphemed against I don't think people recognize that within it

01:28:47.480 is the key the door the path the light the bread the vine the salvation that we

01:28:55.680 require is all embedded there you can't sort of solve it within this paradigm you

01:29:01.200 can't solve it with this versus that you can't solve it with rationalistic and

01:29:06.020 materialistic means I'm not surprised that they still look to the counterculture

01:29:10.040 that they still look to no disrespect men with guitars because maybe you are the man

01:29:14.740 with the guitar to do it John like but they still thinking that the culture is

01:29:18.600 somehow going to generate some solution but for me it's not that it's so but I

01:29:24.160 can hardly condemn people for not recognizing that the solution is to be

01:29:28.200 found in Jesus Christ our Savior because you know six months ago I'd not been

01:29:33.160 baptized six months ago I didn't know that I was chosen six months ago I didn't

01:29:37.140 understand my heritage six months ago I didn't understand the simplicity of this

01:29:41.120 and my prayer is my literal prayer in this moment is that people will join this

01:29:46.200 awakening people will join this awakening and for that to happen I think we have

01:29:50.120 to be so open-hearted with love it has to be clear so absolutely clear that this

01:29:55.380 does not run on hatred that this does not run on condemnation exclusivity or racism

01:30:02.100 or damning or tribalism we have to recognize what he taught us we have to

01:30:07.580 recognize and live his final words love God with all your heart and love one

01:30:12.920 another love one another it isn't easy to love one another is it sometimes is it

01:30:18.140 John I'm I love your point about the counterculture I'm really why did he look

01:30:26.620 at me when I said that because you have been all fierce all the time I'm saying it's not

01:30:31.640 Christian enough I never said that by the way Russell just well I'll say the

01:30:38.660 counterculture is not counterculture enough for me and I've noticed that all the 0.84

01:30:42.860 counterculture figures no offense the guys who wear black shirts in general and are

01:30:47.880 telling you how radical they are and dye their hair blue they all seem like bodyguards

01:30:51.460 are black rock to me and they all seem to be on the side of the defense contractors

01:30:56.800 and Dick Cheney just endorsed Kamala Harris and she likes it and no I'm serious and they

01:31:03.020 all seem I mean for all the radicals running I'm so radical I'm a trans person really why

01:31:09.120 does no one mention that they're loaning money at 30% interest in like half the country's

01:31:12.840 enslaved by the credit card companies no one ever you're not allowed to say that and when

01:31:16.760 Donald Trump said that the other day which you're absolutely not allowed to say he's like

01:31:20.240 well maybe we should just I don't know cap the interest to 10% at some point because

01:31:24.160 we used to put members of the Genovese family in prison for loan sharking at the rates of

01:31:28.960 the credit card companies are charging but you're not allowed to say that because you're

01:31:32.420 like a socialist or something that's sick and I'm I guess I even feel guilty just having

01:31:38.620 grown up in a world where like to criticize a credit card company was like blasphemy but

01:31:43.580 I guess if you were thinking about what's best for people or flipping around what's really

01:31:47.700 bad for them being deeply in debt to a bank is not freedom it's slavery and people who

01:31:54.700 are getting rich from slavery are bad people and I don't know why you can't say that and

01:31:58.880 when Trump said that and maybe who knows you know I know I'm sure AEI and all the other

01:32:03.580 supposedly conservative think tanks in DC are like issuing frantically issuing white papers

01:32:08.000 paid for by the credit card companies to tell you that he's actually Hugo Chavez for noticing

01:32:11.720 but it's still true it's still true and if you were actually counterculture and in a world where

01:32:18.780 the culture is really dark and anti-human you should be then you'd be saying stuff like that

01:32:23.600 you wouldn't be flacking for BlackRock and Boeing and you wouldn't be psyched when Dick Cheney 0.95

01:32:27.960 endorses your pathetic status campaign and so like I don't know I'm hoping for a revival of a 0.96

01:32:35.740 counterculture a little bit conservatives are the only real outlaws still left in the United States 0.98

01:32:43.800 of America we're the real outlaws sorry and by the way I'm not a socialist

01:32:51.200 30% on a credit card why is that not embarrassing if I lit a marble in a restaurant I'd be arrested

01:33:00.800 but if you charge if you get rich charging 30% on a credit card to poor people everyone's like oh

01:33:06.000 that's so great it's not great it's disgusting and you should be ashamed

01:33:09.660 I've got a lot of friends that are Democrats in the entertainment industry that are I mean big time

01:33:18.380 liberal guys I mean Bernie Sanders liberal that are friends of mine comedians I know I know you know

01:33:24.420 a lot of them uh singers songwriters people like that and and they see how bad things are getting in

01:33:30.620 the country and they'll call me up on the phone sometimes even come over to the house and want

01:33:35.180 to sit down and talk to me they're so upset about what they see going on but they just can't get

01:33:40.680 themselves to think about voting for Donald Trump and so they asked me how do I get over this man

01:33:50.040 because I just don't like the guy I just don't like him and so my answer has been this and I think

01:33:55.460 this is an important thing for people to hear because I'm sure everybody in here has family members

01:34:00.200 that have that feeling and neighbors and friends and maybe even kids um right we all know all know a

01:34:08.520 bunch of them so here was my answer to them the system is evil and the system is trying to murder

01:34:19.560 Donald Trump so who does that make Donald Trump that makes him the enemy of the wicked so it doesn't

01:34:29.780 matter if you like everything about him they hate him and they're wicked so that should be enough for

01:34:35.900 you to understand he's your guy it's a logical thing to come to a conclusion I believe that's how

01:34:43.940 I've been talking to people what do they say simple right well they say well that's a good point I go

01:34:50.720 no that is the point I said Dick Cheney is a bad guy Kamala is a bad girl lots of bad people all 0.67

01:35:00.200 getting together from both sides of the aisle to try to take this guy out that means he is not part of

01:35:07.520 them by default he is not part of what they are for I think it's a simple argument I mean Russell

01:35:14.500 obviously Russell dude you talk like a thesaurus man I mean I wish I could record it I always learn

01:35:20.900 new words when I hang out with Russell you know eighth grade eighth grade was a long four years for me

01:35:26.080 I'll be honest but uh you know I write simple country songs but I think that simple answers and

01:35:33.780 logical conclusions will unravel the complexities of these people's minds when they are just tore up

01:35:40.140 they know things are going wrong and they don't like Trump what do we do about it I go listen the

01:35:46.200 system is evil the system is trying to murder him what does that tell you about him he's the enemy

01:35:51.560 of evil in our country right now

01:35:53.900 can I say one thing about just about Trump if if Trump did no other thing throughout his life

01:36:04.960 but drive Dick Cheney to the Kamala Harris campaign that would be enough and I just want to apologize

01:36:12.440 I want to admit that I spent years defending Dick Cheney that I was wrong and that a lot of people I

01:36:20.920 liked and respect defended Dick Cheney it's not even about Dick Cheney the man it's about the

01:36:24.860 worship of violence for profit which is totally immoral it's totally wrong and a lot of us were

01:36:30.420 cowed into pretending it wasn't wrong it is wrong and we're not allowed to kill people except in

01:36:34.860 self-defense that's true that's always true and we can argue about what self-defense is but if you

01:36:40.400 find yourself killing people because you're making money from it that is murder and we should never

01:36:45.560 defend it and I don't care what party is doing it I don't care what they tell you about their

01:36:50.820 motives that's totally wrong and I feel ashamed for the countless times and you can look them up

01:36:56.420 on freaking YouTube which exists just to shame me but the many times when I defended that and I and I do

01:37:03.260 feel shame for that and I'm really sorry I did but thanks to Trump intentionally or not now we see the

01:37:09.820 clear outline at this point 21 years after the Iraq war if you're on Dick Cheney's side you have no

01:37:17.140 excuse actually period and now he's with her and we got I don't know Bobby Kenny and Russell Brand I

01:37:24.320 think it's a pretty good trade

01:37:25.460 you were kind of onto the Dick Cheney thing early how'd you know well I thought he came across as a

01:37:39.340 bit evil

01:37:39.920 he did come across as a bit evil you're right and like you know when anti-establishment then when I was

01:37:49.060 just you know trying to pass my time bide my time quietly as a heroin addict

01:37:53.520 was that when people went to war on false pretenses and it was clear that it was to some degree a

01:38:02.640 corporate endeavor and you'll notice that the British have never been guilty of colonizing a planet

01:38:08.140 seems that like that lineage has been able to snake its way in a serpentine coil either side of the

01:38:22.280 aisle the beast is lithe the beast moves easily through the institutions the beast is observable

01:38:31.560 when you see its eyes and when you see its flickering tongue and the dark liquid spittle beneath the

01:38:39.120 ground that it forever plunders and pummels the black gold of oil ah Cheney mining onwards

01:38:47.020 it was good look I'm still angry when he said about when he said that I sound like a theosaurus and you

01:38:57.880 lot laughed now that was hurtful I've come here from Great Britain I'm trying my artist

01:39:06.320 can you do something for me can you just say I just want Russell to do this for me just for my

01:39:19.740 entertainment can you say to be or not to be that is the question I got to hear it in a Russell

01:39:27.500 brand fashion to be or not to be that is the question whether it is nobler in the mind to

01:39:32.820 suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune to take arms against them here we go by opposing end

01:39:39.440 of them yeah I used to know a lot more Shakespeare John but then I started hanging out with Republicans

01:39:46.120 in a crazy attempt to avert Armageddon

01:39:54.800 I've noticed that people who against who are against war now are fascists

01:40:01.700 yes how does that work if you're pro-free speech pro-health particularly the health of children if

01:40:08.960 you're pro-opposing globalism corporatism the excesses of big pharma the exploitation

01:40:14.620 and evident an obvious lie that took place on a global scale during the pandemic the shaming

01:40:20.440 blaming condemning and interning of people across the world potentially the poisoning of hundreds of

01:40:27.940 millions of people if you oppose this if you oppose the machineries that facilitated it advocated for

01:40:33.920 it that were quite willing to condemn people of all hues colors cultures and persuasions call people

01:40:40.400 the vilest names condemn them as racists or worse simply for opposing the excessive force of a state

01:40:49.380 that's supposed to exist entirely of yours in your service during this time yes this was a large part

01:40:57.500 of my awakening if you can't hear the sirens then if you can't see that that is a call a clarion call

01:41:04.680 a harbinger if you can't see that that is the moment where the skies are darkening bruised if you can't

01:41:11.120 hear the trumpets then then hear them now for surely something large is upon us surely some slouching

01:41:19.120 beast is coming towards us awaiting to be born unless we can oppose it duly me what I'm trying to

01:41:27.360 tell you is that I'm not a regular trump voter kind of guy I'm not allowed to vote at all actually

01:41:32.800 from because I'm from England although maybe

01:41:36.540 because apparently I don't need no ID could just show up

01:41:46.480 everybody else is doing it you should too come on man are you gonna try it hello I'd like I wonder

01:41:56.820 if it only works if you vote for a particular candidate then sort of come around again with

01:42:03.140 like a John Rich Handelbar moustache and try and vote again

01:42:06.520 amazing I'm just here in your wonderful state to have a bit of fun

01:42:17.520 to spread a bit of love I'm here to be lovely to you what I think about Tucker what I try and think

01:42:24.920 about because you know remember I'm a show-off for a living like I'm a comedian I used to be in

01:42:29.160 films in Hollywood don't you know oh I saw some things now I try to remember that I'm here like

01:42:35.860 uh firstly because you asked me to come here and if you asked me to do things I try to do them

01:42:40.440 because you're a beautiful person and I care about you you're a beautiful man and also because I think

01:42:45.500 that you deserve some joy and some love like I'm here because I want to entertain you and amuse you

01:42:52.080 and make you happy and be truthful and authentic before you it's a great privilege to have that

01:42:57.600 opportunity before everything I was just trying to eat in the world but there's never enough to eat

01:43:03.500 here there is only one bread that can fulfill this hunger there is only one light that can

01:43:08.620 illuminate the darkness there is only one vine that can feed us there is only one door through which

01:43:13.480 we may pass to the true bliss of knowing him even if that bliss involves great suffering great

01:43:19.860 suffering in the suffering we can join him not that his suffering wasn't complete and perfect

01:43:24.560 not that his suffering didn't do for us everything that it needed to do but if we can feel in our own

01:43:29.640 suffering and I know that there's so much suffering I know from my own and I feel yours too and I know

01:43:36.040 that the deepest truth is love I need I know that any one of us could get involved in some petty spat at

01:43:41.520 a traffic light that any one of us could rub up against each other the wrong way though I'd be very careful

01:43:46.600 this is Florida this concealed carry I know that the I know that the deepest truth is love I know that

01:43:56.220 in your vulnerability in your frailty in your fragility is where that we can love one another

01:44:01.640 and I know that this is where the healing can come from I know that he wants us vulnerable that's where

01:44:06.300 his strength can abide in us so this is why I'm talk to you about previous elections and previous

01:44:14.060 candidates and previous parties and the hypocrisies and their failures because this is an important

01:44:19.620 time that for when John gives the example of oh you know like talking to people that are never going

01:44:24.600 to get down with Trump because a lot of people are watching CNN a lot of people not that many

01:44:29.320 some people but it's still on isn't it they're trying their best Pfizer's got to advertise somewhere

01:44:35.740 I'm saying that there's a particular burden upon us to be beautiful and to be forgiving it's all it he

01:44:45.740 tells us exactly what to do in it he tells us exactly what to do it's not to be ardent and hostile

01:44:51.800 he only flipped over them tables for a little bit we can't just stay in the perpetual flipping of the

01:44:56.980 tables we shouldn't be sitting at the tables that he flipped over that's for sure but love is his main

01:45:03.740 message love isn't it and that's a duty and it requires a diligence and it isn't easy is it

01:45:08.760 tucker to return to that love although you you great fearless sockless madman you seem to be able to do it

01:45:14.840 oh the best all right now I know you having fun tucker I'm having fun is it everything you thought it

01:45:25.080 would be honestly you get john rich and russell brand it's the best I know however that a lot of

01:45:35.100 people have to go back to soggy homes there are people with fans going in their living rooms right

01:45:41.020 now oh yeah I want to um I want to end with each of you I'm going to ask each of you to do something

01:47:19.600 this is a song called i'm offended

01:47:24.940 and it goes like this

01:47:29.820 it seems like these days no matter what you say someone's losing their ever loving mind

01:47:40.720 it's like they're looking for a reason to have the fragile feelings hurt every single time
