Rob Schneider recounts his public apology to daughter Elle King, citing addiction’s toll (65,000 annual fentanyl deaths) and Dr. Drew Pinsky’s warning on resentment blocking recovery, while defending vaccine skepticism as body autonomy against corporate tyranny—risking his career after clashing with pharmaceutical allies. His mother’s WWII starvation in the Philippines shaped his trauma-informed parenting, contrasting with Hollywood’s ideological censorship, which he calls a "war crime" akin to Ukraine funding. Banned from Canada for jokes on transgender issues, he frames free speech as America’s divine mission, praying for unity amid tech censorship and Disney’s woke drift, ending with a defiant blessing for the U.S. as "the last stand for freedom."

Well, amazingly, we're just a few weeks from our nationwide tour.
We're going coast to coast.
The Atlantic to the Pacific and back, doing live shows with big audiences, uncensorable, and bringing along very good friends of ours, our special guests.
We hope to see you there.
Tickets at tuckercarlson.com.
We're hitting the road all of September.
Here's our latest episode with Rob Schneider.
So I hate to start with this, but I read what looked like a family tragedy playing out in the news, your daughter going after you.
God has presented this to me, and I'm going to use it.
And I'm going to say that this is, when you have opportunities, like when you're being attacked or you feel like what the world is caving in on, like a lot of people feel now, whether it's financially, whether it's...
Politically, people are separating, and especially with people that are dealing with addiction and families that are dealing with addiction.
It's hard.
It's really tough on the family, and it really is crushing.
And so if we're able to discuss and talk about that and help heal people and give them the opportunity to let them know that this is common and that there are routes you can do to heal.
People suffering and families suffering from addiction, and unfortunately, it is bigger now than any time in my life.
We need to have a path for healing, and part of that path is not just getting clean, but I was talking to my good friend, Dr. Drew Pinsky, and he said, we also, addiction, people have to deal with resentment.
That's a really important thing, and I'm glad this is, All been brought up because resentment has to be addressed and managed to help keep the person sober.
Families who are dealing with addiction, it's really important.
This resentment, resentful people use it as a way to justify bad behavior and any kind of behavior and not taking responsibility for their own actions, blaming others, and in the destructive behavior, including even using again.
So it's important that we heal that, address that, so that doesn't become this destructive thing.
That's part of the healing and part of really staying sober and remaining sober and getting back to a place of happiness.
If you love somebody completely, you just, you know, I love her.
And all I want for her is to be happy and to heal from this.
And I really feel if there's anything that I can, you know, I apologize completely for and accept responsibility for not being the parent that I am now with my new kids.
She didn't get that.
And I missed a lot.
And as a parent, you're going to pay for everything you miss.
And I thought that just because...
I was starting my career at the time, and I thought, well, I'm able to provide this, this school, and this.
And she's got a great mom, did a great job, did the best job she could.
But it's hard, you know, not having a fractured home from the start is not the ideal thing.
So it's difficult.
And I get it.
And I really feel like, look, I'm here now.
And whatever I can do for you, I'll be the father that you need me to be now.
And I love you.
And thank God that I'm here now.
And that if there's something that you need from me, my heart is open.
And it's okay, though.
I feel like it's a good opportunity.
It's a beautiful thing.
When God presents you with something, when God says to you, here, when the enemy, when people are like, when you have attacks in your life, when they say hand it over to God, they don't mean just hand some of it over.
I mean, you've got to hand it over.
And when you do, you will have peace.
You will have peace.
And there's nothing the world can do to you when you have God.
There's nothing.
They can't touch you.
My most important relationship is with God.
And if that's good, they can't touch me.
There's nothing.
My wonderful priest talked to me about this.
If you've got a good relationship with God, then you're set.
But when you hand it over, you've got to really hand it over.
Okay, can you take it?
They're like, okay, God, I need your help.
Because you'll be tested in this world.
They go like, yeah, because I feel I'm in a good place.
What we need to do as a parent is to love and accept and be tolerant and forgive.
And this is the way to love.
God shows us the way to love.
And our job is to reflect God's love, which is everything, and tolerant and loving, and to just have compassion for what people are going through, especially in your family, and to know that it's not about me.
It's about the pain that they're suffering, and how can we heal it?
And we're seeing a lot of that.
Unfortunately, Not just, you know, in my family.
We're seeing addiction and problems all over.
And it's not just about, particularly with drugs.
And the difference is, when we were kids, if somebody had like an addiction to a particular narcotic or something, you know, unless it was heroin, there's cocaine and speed and other stuff and crystal meth around the 80s, you had a chance to, you know, to get therapy.
And do something.
We have families now who are dealing with a different kind of healing because they've lost their child.
We have these porous borders now.
And talking about, you know, for the Democrats who want to change the voting habits of whatever, remain power in every state, it's really an ugly thing because what they're really doing is they're just bringing in death and misery.
Because the people who are coming into the border are also being abused.
It needs to be a...
I'm all for immigration.
It has to be legal.
But what's coming in now is causing this massive wave of drugs and it's death.
And it's everywhere now.
It's every city in America.
It's 65,000 people a year.
It's like more than everyone who died in that 19 years of Vietnam or dying a year from this fentanyl.
I was at the airport and sometimes you meet somebody who just...
Has so much grace that it's just, it takes your breath away.
I mean, much more than I have or could have.
This woman came up to me, said, hi, I'm, you know, I really appreciate what you've been saying.
I said, oh, thank you.
And at the airport waiting for our bags and I was just taking a cup of coffee waiting.
And this is in Phoenix where I live now.
And we started talking a little bit and I was flattered by that.
So it's nice when people say something nice about you.
And then I said, so how was your, where'd you come back?
She said, oh, Hawaii.
And I said, oh, it's beautiful.
She said, yeah, but it wasn't a happy occasion.
And I said, what?
She said, oh, it was spreading my son, my 17-year-old son's ashes.
I was like, what?
She said, he wasn't an addict, he just was a dabbler.
And he didn't realize what, he just thought it was cocaine.
And he's gone.
There's no rehab.
There's no getting better.
There's no education.
There's no 12-step thing.
You have, it's just, people are dead.
They're gone.
And this family is crushed.
But this woman has such grace about her.
It's like, whew.
You know, God has to carry people at moments like that.
And, you know, then you got like, well, I love you.
I want you to be, and I can't get into the specifics of what she's going through now, but obviously, I want her to be happy and well and to heal.
And to heal means not just doing something to make yourself feel better, but to really get to some of the issues that you need to do and to just, I love you.
And if you take yourself out of the equation and you say hand it over to God, you have to.
Because if you make it about me and what this, like, you know, I have an adult child now.
She's going to have to figure things out.
And God bless her in that she's had a tremendous success with her career.
And I want her to have that peace, that peace that I've found and that love that I've had.
And I'm grateful for this situation because maybe this is what it takes.
For her to heal.
And for whatever, for other people to know about this so that they can reach out and they can know that to not take it personal but go, what can I do?
How can I love?
How can I heal?
What would God do here?
How can I work through this?
How could I use this as an introduction for her to get closer to God?
So maybe there's all this potential there.
But there's also the potential to realize that when you are attacked in the media by anything is to know this isn't.
You cannot take this in.
And if you have, I mean, there was a beautiful thing.
My wife and I, Patricia, just the best thing that ever happened to me, that God gave me, was this.
We never did the rosary together in bed.
And we never did the rosary together, ever.
So we were in bed the other night before I flew out here.
And let's do it.
And we didn't even remember.
No, she didn't remember exactly how to do it.
And I'm a new Catholic.
So we're literally going over each bead and thing.
Hail Marys, and then Our Fathers, and then what's this bead for?
And I will tell you, it was beautiful, and the peace that I felt after that, and the whole next day, was really the power of prayer.
And so, as I hope, I'm praying for my daughter, and I hope that people will pray for her.
And I think through getting lost into the world and thinking about my career and this and that and the frustrations of it, And thinking too much about what other people think about you, like where your position is in show business and how much money you make and where you are.
Are you on the A-list?
Are you off-list?
Are you making movies?
It's just a hamster wheel.
And I think the more important thing is to, and I think what our culture is suffering from now is in this social media.
Hamster wheel we're on.
And their politics.
And our political parties are not helping the mental health of Americans.
I thought we lived in the freest country in the world.
Well, you're allowed to talk about.
And you can be, you know, you used to be.
And you can talk about things like that.
You can talk about, you know, how the United States Army spent $25,000 for a toilet, which is, you know, or a hammer.
But if you talk about the underpinnings of power, if you talk about an industry that is the real drug cartel, we're not talking about the Mexican drug cartel.
That's just a measly $10 billion a year.
If you're talking about the pharmaceutical industry.
$300 billion a year.
You're talking about power.
You're talking about an industry.
You're talking about the real drug cartel that pays for the biggest donors to not just federal legislators, but state legislators.
They not only control the medical...
They also control the medical boards that recommend things and that recommend what Americans are mandated to get and children are.
and then when you open your eyes to it and you realize that something that was astounding to me that Robert Kennedy talks about and he's one of the few who has the courage to talk about it and thank you for letting him talk about this on your show.
Imagine going to your computer, looking at your entire browsing history on the web, everything you've looked at.
Now imagine hitting print and then signing your full name at the bottom, maybe with your social security number, printing out that browsing history with your name on it and nailing it to the front door of, say, your house for everybody in the world to see.
Maybe that would be fine, maybe not.
And while you're at it, actually take a copy of that same list of everything you've looked at on the internet.
And post it in the break room at work.
And then, in fact, go farther than that.
Blow that up and put it on a billboard over a major highway on your commute to work.
Here's everything I've been looking at on the internet.
Would you want to do that?
You don't have to be a creep to think, maybe that's not something I'd want to do.
But in effect, that's what you're already doing.
Every single day, unless you already use the sponsor of this video, ExpressVPN.
You are allowing all of your online activity to become public.
Because internet service providers can see every website you have ever visited.
Yes, even if you're in incognito or private browsing mode.
That doesn't really work.
And in the United States, your internet service provider can then sell your data to whomever they please, including the government.
And they do, by the way.
So what can you do about that?
Well...
You can do what people in our office do, particularly when we're abroad, but also when we're here, and that's encrypt your online activity before it even reaches the internet service provider so no one can see it.
It's private.
Privacy is a prerequisite for freedom, so keep it close.
We use ExpressVPN to do that.
That's our internet provider.
Our internet provider cannot see what we're doing on the internet because we use ExpressVPN.
They can't record it.
They can't share it.
They can't sell our browsing history.
Because they never have it to begin with.
Why don't they have it to begin with?
Because ExpressVPN reroutes our online activity through secure servers and changes our IP address and makes you more anonymous to apps and websites trying to track us.
It'll do the same for you.
What we like about it is it's so easy to use, even if you're not a tech genius.
You tap one button on whatever device you're using, whether it's your phone, your laptop, your tablet, your desktop, and you know that your privacy is secure.
Once again, Privacy is a prerequisite for freedom.
You can't be free unless you have privacy.
And if you want to start reclaiming your privacy, do yourself a favor and use our special link to get three months of ExpressVPN for free.
Either you have a choice for your own body autonomy, your own freedom of choice, when there's risks, take risks, or if you don't have that freedom to avoid risks, then you don't have, then you have tyranny.
We're supposed to be, the idea of what happened during COVID was the idea was like, you're supposed to discuss things in a free society and debate and then take the best of those ideas.
Instead of adjusting what should happen, because based on evidence, what they did was they just denounced people who brought the evidence and said, well, those people, let's demonize them, let's denounce them, whatever.
And so when I first brought this up, I was like, you know, I did a commercial with Aaron Rodgers.
Coincidentally, for State Farm, who coincidentally became vaccine hesitant himself, and rightfully so, realizing...
But realizing the human immune system, this is before he knew any of this, so he cleared himself.
He had nothing.
He never talked to me about this after.
But we did a commercial for State Farm, and...
And he hasn't done any since, since he's been vaccinated.
Hesitant.
But the human immune system, which has been proved true, is like, you can't trust the human immune system that's been working for millions or hundreds of thousands of years.
Why would you do that when you could take this drug that we just made yesterday at warp speed?
So it's just kind of a weird logic.
So I came out, and so I got attacked by the goons.
You know, this is 10 years ago, when like a few people can attack.
A company like State Farm and say, this is dangerous, blah, blah, blah.
And then they could think it's a lot of people.
And then they took, you know, so I got slammed and the media is this anti-vaxxer, which is a very interesting term, anti-vaxxer.
You can complain about the Boeing 737 MAX airplane because it is dangerous.
We did have an engine fall out.
A piece did fall out.
You can say, you know what?
There's a problem with these problems.
Nobody says, he's an anti-planer.
This guy over here is anti-airplane.
We're talking about this is an airplane.
You don't talk bad about an airplane.
But if you question any of the 72 different Doses of 16 vaccines before the age of six, then you're an anti-vaxxer.
So anti-vaxxer, that's an interesting term.
Also, like, I say this in my standup back, they said, you know, if a woman doesn't want to have sex with you, that doesn't make her anti-dick.
She's just anti-your dick.
She may be open to a lot of other, you know, members, but yours specifically, it doesn't make her anti-all.
We're like, you know, junior high, and we're going to fight, and I'm looking and going like, this guy's going to clean my clock.
The only way I'm going to get out of this is if I just get him in the nose, just whack him.
So just wait for it, wait for it, wait for it, and it's, you know, a lot of guys.
Fighting, it's like this, you know?
They think the bigger the swing, the better.
But the guys who know about fighting, especially Filipinos who changed fighting, we can talk about that, it's all on the shoulder.
It's just right here.
And it's the short one that's got, and you use the hip, and you turn.
And then, so I just, I weighed it, and I go, pop!
And it was like, that was it.
Fight over.
And I said, oof, I got out of that one.
So, but you have to defend yourself.
And so I just felt like, when you survive and you get a little...
I've got to be crafty about this, but I'm not going to bow to this pressure.
And I never have.
And I've never apologized or rebutted it because I'm right about it.
And I'm going to continue to believe these people because the health of American children is more important than me making Deuce Bigelow four.
So I don't, you know, whatever.
But we have to continue to fight to get Americans healthy, mentally healthy, physically healthy, and get them off these drugs and to also have awareness for all our...
People, about how they can learn to get healthy.
Because if you go off the food pyramid, you're going to be fat, obese, you're going to have diabetes.
My dad had diabetes, which is what I'm concerned about my children.
And things that turn into sugar, grains, and get off processed oils, seed oils, anything.
It's sunflower, sunflower oil.
All that seed oil you got to get rid of because it's toxic, it's rancid, and it will make you sick and it causes diseases.
And if you look specifically since the processed foods, and the only reason they put it in is so it doesn't rot on the shelf.
When you have something that doesn't rot and go bad, it doesn't grow mold.
If mold says, I don't want any of that.
Well, then don't put it in your body.
The palm oil, all this stuff, it's not real food.
It's just to keep it on the shelf so it doesn't rot.
So all that stuff, we got to start learning.
That's what's interesting is the liberals are attacking what they can attack.
The problem with vaccines and the problem with is they think they could do something.
So that they do it.
And it's the same thing with, like, choosing a particular gas.
Like, you know, choosing CO2. That's the problem.
That's what's causing the warming of the planet.
Not the fact that we're, you know, there's a giant fireball that we're circling around, but it's the gas.
It's you cooking and gardening.
That's what's causing it and cows farting.
So it's a lunacy.
But going back, just because you think you could do something doesn't mean you should do it.
Like, you know, the...
Scarlet fever killed more people than smallpox.
And tuberculosis, but you don't see a scarlet fever, there's no scarlet fever vaccine, and you don't see it rampant around the world.
And tuberculosis, nobody takes a tuberculosis vaccine, but you don't see it rampant around.
So they're doing these other ones because they can do something.
Like the measles, this is all, you can all look it up, and it's in my book.
You can do it.
Speak your mind, America.
Thankless, I mean, obvious plug, is that just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
So because they could do something, like they put in the measles vaccine in 1961, and by that time, you know, all of the deaths from measles had disappeared.
They just literally, there was none by 61, and yet they put this in.
Because what really, and you can go to the CDC to look it up, what made the difference with human health, What changed was the fact that people weren't living in squalor, toilets, sanitation.
So what happened was all the success of sanitation, which increased people's life expectancies, made people healthy, that is what saved society and cleaned up society.
Literally, toilets, sanitation, clean drinking water, and nutrition.
Vaccine mythology, vaccines piggybacked on the success of that, and that's why we're dealing with this now.
So you sort of waved, I beg your pardon, my question, because you don't want to talk about yourself, but the effect of saying what you did about health, like what, what, like did that affect your job prospect?
Well, among the things you really can't live without are antibiotics.
They are life-saving.
Get an infection, you need antibiotics, or you could die.
But one of the things a lot of us have learned over the last few years is that...
Most of our antibiotics come from outside the country.
So that means to stay alive, many of us are depending on a supply chain from China.
So if you're in a family or people around you you care about, just remember that supply chain from China could be the thing keeping them alive.
What if something went wrong with the supply chain from China?
Well, we don't have to imagine that.
We just saw that during COVID. The lunacy of COVID. Foreign supply chains collapsed in some cases, leaving American consumers without products they needed.
Products as simple as toilet paper, machine parts, and potentially antibiotics.
This is something we're thinking about.
You're not crazy.
You're not some radical prepper to want to have a steady supply of life-saving medicine in case something went wrong.
We spent a lot of time thinking about this because you need to.
You need an emergency supply, of course, of water.
Food, everyone knows that, but also medication.
And here's the part you can do right now.
There's a company that can do this for you.
It's called Jace Medical.
You can get a Jace case from Jace Medical.
Super simple.
It's a pack of essential antibiotics to treat a long list of bacterial illnesses, including UTIs, respiratory infections, skin infections, a lot of other common, potentially pretty serious medical conditions that could threaten you and your family if there's ever a supply chain problem.
It's worth having that stuff at home, and it's not crazy expensive.
In fact, it's fast, and it's simple.
You go to jasemedical.com, fill out a form that gets reviewed by a board-certified physician, and your medications get dispensed by a licensed pharmacy at a fraction of the regular cost, so it's actually cheaper than normal.
And if you want it even cheaper, use the promo code TUCKER at checkout for an extra discount.
So get prepared, not just for an emergency, but for the future.
I have this young actor who's the son of a very famous Academy Award winning actor who called me and said, I wish I could say what you say.
Because I agree with you.
I agree with everything you're saying.
I wish I could say it.
And I said, I want to say it sometimes.
And I said, you know, be careful.
He said, you have to be judicious about it.
He said, I'm worried about losing work.
And here's the thing, because the, I forget which one, there was a survey that was done by my great friend Andrew Doyle talks about it in his book.
It was a survey done by the, I forget the group, but they said two-thirds of Americans are afraid to speak their mind, two-thirds, because they might cause offense.
and another third are worried that it might affect their job opportunities.
So this is a real thing.
We can't continue as a society if everybody's so afraid.
That was what Alexander de Tocqueville admired most about America when he came here, was the Frenchman seeing like, people speak their mind here.
That is a unique thing.
The idea of freedom of speech is there's not an accident that that was put first before guns.
They know that if you want to really protect society and your best weapon against tyranny is to be able to speak your mind.
To be able to speak freely without reproach and recrimination from your government.
That isn't to say there are not consequences for it, but the consequences of not speaking are going to be much, much higher.
So this young person was telling me, you know, I want to speak my mind and I want to talk about it, but I'm afraid about losing work.
And I said, just be judicious.
Talk about it in your life, but it will affect your work if you do.
And then they said, you know, you can perform and I would go to every state that was still open.
I did 14 shows for whatever capacity that they would do during COVID in the one place that was open in Nashville at that time because they said 50% capacity.
So I'll just keep doing shows as long as people come.
unidentified
And I did 14. I have the record for shows there, for half sold out.
But what was really interesting was people, especially for conservatives, they felt like, well, here's a guy who agrees with me and I don't see it on TV. I don't hear that.
No, I realized that like, if I'm going to continue to...
If I'm going to continue to make a living in this business, I'm going to have to be very judicious about it and be careful and take care of my family.
Also, because my wife didn't understand.
My wife didn't understand.
My wife's from Mexico, which is tougher than the United States.
Hard-working people.
Thank God for Mexicans.
You want people that want to work and they'll work hard and I want legal immigration.
These people are lovely, hard-working people.
She didn't understand.
It's like, why would you want to risk things for this?
And the most beautiful thing, and I talked to Robert Kennedy about this, and my wife, when she said to me, she came to me, I was literally in the bathtub.
When she came to me, she said, I didn't understand why you would do this, why you would risk your career and income and our family by speaking up about this issue.
Because I always thought as long as you protect them inside the house, they're protected.
And then we got this and let the world take care of itself.
But now I realize that you have to also protect the kids outside the home.
And she sees the encroachment of this woke mind virus and the fact that all of a sudden there's a real attack on women in our society that nobody saw that coming.
For her to recognize that.
And I mean, it was really a really beautiful, special thing that I experienced.
You have to make sure everything's okay in there and that you're protecting and taking care of your kids and that they know that they're loved.
They know who their father is, and that they feel safe, and that they feel loved, and that they're embraced, and they're being raised with a faith in God, and that they know their country is a good country, and that they know that their future is secure.
And that's something that's tougher, and it's encroaching on every aspect of it.
And so, while I've been blessed that people find what I have to say, Some of them interesting and hopefully funny.
I've been able to continue to take care of my family.
And to give the kids, all my children, the best education I can get.
And I went to public school and I didn't think there was anything wrong with it because I didn't have anything to compare it to.
But I will say that you can put your kids, if you're lucky enough to have the opportunity, to put your kids to the best schools you can.
But the majority of our country is being educated in public school.
And we have to...
We have to make sure that that education for the majority of these people is good and that they're learning something that's useful and they're being taught to be critical thinkers, to be useful for themselves and for society, that they can come up and make decisions and not just crank out what's happening now at the university level and academia, which is just, they're just not cranking out, they're not making or helping people think critically, these young people.
They're cranking out.
Advocates for a particular partisan ideology.
And that's it.
And so, this has been going on for a long time.
We're late to the party to try to fix this.
The ideology which James Lindsay talks about has been infiltrated into our society.
And they knew, the Marxists knew, that, oh, well.
The revolution is not going to happen with the worker.
Like, ah, well, why?
Because capitalism works.
If you work your ass off of the people here, they work their ass off, your life's going to get better.
And I didn't really, you know, I'm still coming to grips with what that, what my upbringing was with her.
And I respect her tremendously.
And she just said she was never fearful.
The reason I survived, I was never afraid.
I knew I was going to survive.
And so she literally, her mother would make bedsheets, take bedsheets, and sew them.
Because, you know, the thing about America, this is unique.
Experiment in freedom in the history of the world.
That's why it's so important that we need to keep freedom of speech and keep our freedom because there's no one that's going to come and rescue us if anything happens.
And so she would make with her mother, they would make these pajamas out of these soft bedsheets that they'd had and they would trade them because the case system, which is a lot of the world, if you're, you know, my mother used to say, even maids have maids in the Philippines.
There's a descending, cascading.
Poverty level that just keeps going down and down.
So she would trade this with the people, the farmers, who suddenly had the most valuable thing, food.
So she would walk for hours, you know, a day to get up to where they were and get this comote, which was sweet potato.
She would trade for that.
And she'd have to be really, really nice to these, you know, the people.
And they knew that things have changed.
And that's how she survived.
And she said, not everybody did.
Her brother's 17 bill was drafted by Roosevelt under an agreement that you could be in the U.S. Army if you're Filipino.
You could be drafted and go in the U.S. Army.
So he did it at 17. He was in the Batahan Death March.
And he survived it and then died of dysentery at 17. Damn.
And her brother also died at 15. He said he refused to believe that...
That his brother had died.
He said, he's got to be with the gorillas.
I'm going to go get him.
And my mother said, don't, don't.
She stayed up all night with him, trying to talk her brother John into not going.
And she wasn't successful in the morning.
He gave her 100 pesos.
Hang on to this.
I'm going to come back.
And he never did.
And then it wasn't until my mother's 60th high school reunion, where there's only a few people that have survived, where she found out.
Why the Japanese captured him and interrogated him and killed him is because he was, and she didn't realize that, but one of her classmates did because he was wearing, her brother was wearing their brother's U.S. Army boots.
So the Japanese thought, well, he must know something.
But she didn't say with bitterness, it looked like coffee.
Let's have some coffee.
So it's like, you know, so growing up with that, I didn't truly understand it.
And because what happens, I think, and now that I understand what I learned from great people like M. Scott Peck and Dr. Gabor Mate was that there's traditional, I mean, I'm sorry, generational trauma.
Because I worked with, you know, Gabor Mate worked with me on a couple of sessions and talked to me about generational trauma.
We hear a lot from viewers about big tech censorship, and those reports are more frequent than ever right now.
Censorship meaning shutting down your access to information.
Not lies or misinformation, but true things.
It's only the truth that they censor.
Facts that get in the way of the lies they're trying to tell you.
The net effect of this, of course, is interfering in the 2024 presidential elections.
That's why they're censoring more than ever now because the stakes are even higher.
You're probably not shocked by this, but the specific examples of it do throw you back a little bit.
We've seen screenshots and videos showing how a Google search to learn more about the attempted assassination on Donald Trump instead push users to information on Harry Truman or Bob Marley or the Pope.
Anything other than the relevant truth, which is that they just shot Trump in the face.
They don't want you to know that because it might help Trump.
We've seen examples where Facebook marked true photos of a bloodied and defiant Trump as misleading.
Somehow those pictures were a lie and then limited their visibility.
Its AI assistant explicitly denied the shooting ever took place.
This is insanity, but it's at the core of big text editorial policy, which is denying the truth to you in order to control the outcome of this presidential election.
That's not democracy.
We've seen examples where a generic search for information about Donald Trump was automatically rephrased to show positive stories about Kamala Harris instead.
Is there any clear example of election interference?
So what do you do about it?
Well, Parler has been down this road.
Parler is pulled right off the internet for telling the truth.
But it's back, and it's reaffirmed its lifelong, unwavering commitment to free speech.
On Parler, the Bill of Rights lives.
The First Amendment is real.
You can say what you think because you're a human being and an American citizen and not a slave.
On Parler, users can freely express themselves, tell the truth, express their conscience, and connect with others who are doing the same.
And they will not be interfered with.
They will not be censored.
Design to support a wide range of viewpoints, everyone is welcome on Parler.
Parler is committed to ensuring that everybody is heard.
And so it's become a place where independent journalism is protected and respected.
It's protected because it's respected.
So as this censorship by big tech intensifies, standing up for your God-given right as an American to say what you think is essential.
We're on Parler.
That's why we're on Parler.
Our handle is at Tucker Carlson and we encourage you to join us there.
You have the right to say what you believe.
So does every American and you can do it on Parler.
And all the problems that you have are just, you got to interpret it like this is a potential to bring you closer to God and to help people and to bring you closer to...
To where you need to be.
This is all opportunities.
And so I think as people are going to get really angry when the election happens, whoever wins, and I would just tell people, like, it's not, Robert Kennedy talks about this too, it's not the end of our republic.
If the Democrats win, I believe there will be more encroachments on freedom.
But it's not the end.
We still have the, you know.
This tried and true legislative, executive, judicial.
And even though the legislative still continues to abdicate their power to the executive, which, you know, it's not supposed to happen where the, you know, when Biden comes in, he does 125 executive orders.
We're basically hiring an emperor.
But still, get involved at the state level.
Get involved with your school board.
And I would say one of the biggest dangers of an incoming continuation of the Democratic Party.
And I'm not saying that the Republicans haven't done their abuse and like, you know, the lies that the Bush administration, the wars they caused.
But the problem is, if the Democrats get back in, I'm worried about the educational system.
And as Moms for Liberty that talk about this, is giving more money from the feds to our school boards at the state to control what happens at the state level and our local school boards.
So the school board meetings will mean nothing.
It'll just all be...
The feds will, they're funding most of it, 26% they want to go to.
I think it's 13 now.
If they do that and then control, then we're really talking about another, you know, problem with indoctrination of children.
And that's going to be a real, I mean, that's one thing we should really, really be aware about.
It's going to be two years of what damage they can do.
And then they're going to be a lame duck for the next two years.
And just hold the reins.
And I'm saying don't give in to violence.
And unfortunately, our social media is creating and exploiting and making money off of...
Of turning people as extreme as they can so they can increase their addictions.
And these addictions that we started with, these are addictions to social media.
And that's something we got to control, get a handle on.
And I would just tell people, like, anything new that's coming into the world, like whether it's airplanes, okay, well, it's first invented in 1903 by the Wright brothers.
Supposedly, the Russians and French say otherwise.
However, 15 years later, this new invention, 15 years later, They were using it to drop bombs out and kill people.
And then it took another 20 years for it to become aviation where people can actually get to places by the early 1930s.
So right now, social media is just at the time where it's just dropping bombs, killing people, destroying people, and canceling people and that stuff.
So we'll have to give it time.
And just for schools, can you imagine if you and I took our television set to school in the morning and our newspaper and our Daddy's Dirty Porn Magazines, imagine, that I found underneath the stairs, by the way.
I noticed that we didn't have the same money for makeup as Playboy.
But anyway, my point is, can you imagine bringing all that?
That's what you allow when you have phones in schools now.
So this is a real problem we have to get a handle on.
And when you get bullied or whatever, or people would say bad things about you, or you farted in the middle of the class and it was humiliating, well...
At least when you went home, it was like, well, it stops.
It turns off.
I got an hour.
Now it never stops.
They got the phone and they got people saying stuff about you and how many likes you have.
So, like, no phones.
I mean, just flip phone.
No social media till 16, minimum.
So, you know, just calm down.
No violence.
Don't give in to it.
And just know that you can't act.
And this is a country.
It's a republic.
It's not this parliamentary system in Europe, which is...
Whereas these unelected people, the European Commission, now are controlling what happens in other countries.
So that's a, you know, we talk about in the book, you can do it, the comedians under attack.
And now they have this hate laws.
And free speech has to be open to protect the...
It's not the safe stuff or stuff everybody agrees with that needs to be protected.
You know, appropriate or approved speech is not the stuff that needs protecting.
It's the unapproved stuff.
And you have to have all of it to have friction in society that the best ideas arise, you know, and let...
Like ACLU, when it used to be a decent organization that used to protect rights, they've defended the Nazis' right in Skokie, Illinois to march, not because they agreed with the Nazis, but because the Jewish guy who was in charge of ACLU at the time said the best way to defeat the Nazis is to let them speak.
And they're going to limit the speech, and they are trying to.
And it was really a, it shouldn't be surprising, but it was like, it was surprising to me that when it was discovered through the, thank God for Elon Musk, and God bless him and protect him and pray for Elon Musk, his protection.
Thank God for the Twitter files, because The terrific work of Matthew Schellenberger and Matt Taibbi.
This was really happening.
They were able to discover that the government was infringing on the rights of Americans and limiting and censoring speech that they disagreed with for what the government wanted to do.
And then when they had congressional hearings, instead of correcting the situation...
Which was egregious and a violation of the First Amendment rights of Americans.
Instead of adjusting it based on this new evidence, this anti-American attack on our system and free speech, the Democrats were just like attacking the messengers and attacking the people who brought this and trying to undermine them and demonize them.
But if it's a business that they're associated with or they get in mind, they'll keep open.
And Justin Trudeau, the dictator of the North, he will...
I have no problem trouncing on the rights of Canadians who are protesting, who really what helped open and end COVID was those truckers who risked everything there.
And this a-hole, cold-weather dictator closed their bank accounts and just completely took away their rights.
And that's the thing about it, man, your rights.
They are on a piece of paper.
And unless they're backed by the will and by the goodwill and by the people insist on it, it's just going to be a piece of paper.
And so that's what happened in Canada.
And those people's rights were trounced upon.
So luckily, though, but that was enough to wake people up, I think, in the United States who had guns.
He said, the reason why we got out of COVID, because when I said that, I told him years ago, if you ever run for president, I'm going to support you no matter what.
And I do.
He's a great thinker and a wonderful man and really wants to help educate people and get people healthy.
I don't agree with everything he says, but who does?
The point is, we agree on enough.
We can't just go, Republicans, Democrats, if you're willing to work with us on this issue, I'll work with you.
I don't care about what, you know, you're crazy or something else.
And so, I'm willing to work with him and to, you know, to move this forward.
I said, but the guns, here's the thing.
The only reason we got out of COVID was because there are at least 400 million guns in America, and the government can only push its citizenry so far.
And I said, that is something that I, as someone who grew up in California, didn't understand that.
I understood it pretty quickly during tyranny, where the people could shut you down, where like a governor could say, you can no longer open your business.
Even though, you know, scientifically, you can't, there was no science behind it, and it never had been.
And so they were allowed to do that.
And the fact that there has been no legislatures that have restricted the government's executive powers to prevent that from happening again is worrisome.
And I said this, you know, they could turn it off at any minute.
So I do think that because of that situation, because of COVID, because people saw the COVID tyranny and now it's been exposed that there was no reason for the six, you know, the six feet of distance is all was just made up by Fauci and, you know, his cronies over there who were all...
Paid by the pharmaceutical industry.
They have, you know, my friends have come around to go, you know, maybe Rob's not so crazy.
I've had friends who go like, you know what, I didn't realize, you know, we just thought you were nuts, but now they've come around.
So they always tell you it's the most important election of your lifetime.
But of course, this one actually is.
That's demonstrable.
And it's also because it is so important being censored at every level by the tech companies.
So we were thinking about this a couple of months ago, and we thought, why not get on the road live in front of actual people, live audiences, coast to coast, a nationwide tour where we can't be censored?
That'd be good.
It would also be fun.
So we're doing it.
We're going to be on stage with some of our friends, some of the most fascinating people we know, the most recognizable people we know, responding to what is happening in America this September in real time.
It'll be just like the podcast, but it's going to be live.
So we're excited to announce our friend Larry Elder is coming to join us in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Our friend John Rich will be there with us in Sunrise, Florida.
We're adding more stops.
We just added another stadium show in Redding, Pennsylvania.
We'll be joined on stage by Alex Jones.
They tell you what Alex Jones is like.
Have you seen him in person?
You should.
Make up your own mind.
It's going to be fun as hell and interesting and intense, and we hope you will join us.
Go to TuckerCarlson.com right now to get your tickets.
See you there.
So you got cut off.
You were talking about Canada and the tyranny there.
Obviously, lots of great Canadian people.
I know you would agree.
But the country's in turmoil.
It's an authoritarian country.
But you were punished by the Canadians for telling naughty jokes.
The fact that, you know, and I said, I did some jokes about, that I do my stand-up back, that if I had a son, and if he sucked at sports like I did, and I wanted him to be a champion and victory, I said, well, just go, you know, I said, listen, it's not nice, but just go tell him, I want you to, you know, you're losing all the guys.
I want you to go and tell the coach that you're, you're a girl.
You know?
And then, you know, no, no, no, that's the best part.
So one guy, who was the same guy in all the complaining.
And I remember like, they were really laughing, and then they kind of got quiet.
Because they're too polite.
Canadians are too polite.
They don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, which ends up hurting everybody's feelings because then you end up having some guy who loves China running your country.
Exactly.
So it's important to speak up and speak freely and say when you're a countryman, I have nothing to apologize to you, Canada, about.
You know what?
I will consider an apology.
Consider it when you apologize for what you did to those truckers.
That ugliness of not supporting those people who were risking everything to drive all the way across the country, shut the country down so that this tyranny could end.
And it was a powerful movement.
And it was a movement to stand there and let your government officials call them terrorists.
And God bless them, and I hope that they can come around to become more independent in their thinking.
You can literally replace the dialogue, I mean the jokes, from one late night guy to the next guy, and then put them in the mouth of this guy, and it's just, there's no individual point of view, because it is really ideologically captured and trapped.
And I, you know, I hope that they would realize that that's limiting.
I would hope that, like, you didn't, you realize, you know.
I really think that they've, you know, they're making fun of Biden, they have, and they got a good crew there, really talented new group, and they're going to, it's an institution, and like any institution, whether the, you know, particular late night show or a network or Saturday Night Live, any institution is going to be susceptible to this ideological claptrap, and it is, but it's also, you can understand it, and I think as I'm, I was angry about it.
I have to come to it from a place of peace and understanding if I'm going to help it.
If I'm going to participate in this culture, I have to come from a place of understanding.
It doesn't come naturally to me, but I've got to come from a place of understanding, tolerance, forgiveness, and empathy.
It's hard to fight against that.
When you are getting this, you can only talk about this and everything's got to attack half of the country.
They are susceptible to that.
Hopefully, they'll realize Because the ratings are getting smaller.
The number one guy is a very funny Greg Gutfeld.
My buddy Jamie Lissow goes on the show all the time.
That's the number one show.
So if it's about ratings, about money, well then think about the money.
And I think eventually Hollywood, if they're anything, they're whores.
And they will do what makes money.
You think that Sony Pictures wants to have a Christian division?
They didn't care about that, but they do now.
Why?
Because people like Angel Studios are making money, non-traditionally, and they didn't see that coming.
When Mel Gibson made Passion of the Christ, they tried to destroy that.
And Catholicism is the closest to the original words of Jesus.
And that's why it works for me.
And there's a film that I want to make about the Shroud of Turin.
The Shroud of Turin is the burial cloth of Jesus of Nazareth.
It is.
And the fact that the STIRP scientists tested it in the wrong place and didn't quantify that there is these French nuns who were trying to repair in the 16th century their Lord's burial cloth.
That they would do this French weave called an invisible weave and that altered the findings of the Of the testing of the carbon dating.
On the board, and they said, and Eisner was, I'm sorry, Iger, saying, well, you know, this is what we, they looked into the boats, well, the boats made 18 million last year profit, and then the parks made this, made 34 million profit, and why?
Why the movies?
They lost money.
Why do we need to make these movies?
Let's just not make movies, just do the boats.
He said, well, Mr. Secretary, I think the movies are what get people on the books.
It was really bummer that the fact that I, you know, my wife and I would have to watch the movies first before we let our kids, the last few years, we have to watch the movie first before we let our kids see it.
And let's see what's, let's just check it first.
My parents never did that to me.
They took me to see The Godfather, Sonny Corleone.
They didn't ask me, how did you deal with that?
You know, we just, we, they didn't want to get a babysitter.
So, but, so we would watch these movies just to make sure, well, my wife would, you know.
She does most 90% of the child rearing.
And to make sure that they're not getting any stuff that we don't want them to have.
And I admire anybody who wants to serve their country in the capacity.
And if you think about traditionally with John Adams, to be a doctor, an attorney, the highest thing he could be was to be a public servant and go into politics.
That's what he felt was his highest calling.
And I think we've moved away from that now.
So I want what's best for this country.
And I do think I like governments that are less, administrations I should say, that are less confident.
So that they don't want to go around, start more wars, blow up the world.
And I think we're at a time financially in this country, you just can't keep spending another trillions and trillions of dollars and expect this just to be magically taken care of.
This isn't an issue, this is a real problem.
And this administration, and the same thing with the Republicans in Congress, this Ukraine war has to end.
We had to get out of it.
Whether it's Robert Kennedy, who's a great guy, or whether Trump gets in.
And we have to end this war because it's different than just these skirmishes and smashing up parts of the world, which is also awful.
What they did, you know, what Obama and Hillary Clinton administration did to Libya was just dreadfully awful.
As a Christian, what do you make of politicians who call themselves Christians and then cheerlead and vote to fund carnage that doesn't help anyone, that results only in killing?
That doesn't seem like a Christian position to me.
Let us worry very much that we are exporting this murder, that we're exporting the slaughter, and the taxpayers, and that the congressmen also can invest in this.
You know, congressmen, senators, I mean, can make money off the slaughter.
So that came to me by having children and the incredible beauty and gift that they are and how they see the world and that their eyes point out to see everything.
And that they know that they're connected to everything, and they have to be taught that there's a separation between them and their mother.
This is something that they just naturally, they know they're a part of everything.
When the astronauts look back from the moon, if they ever went, they saw one thing.
They saw the picture of Earth, and they saw one thing.
And we're that one thing.
And then at the same time when...
And this is coming to me and my beautiful children that I'm having a second chance at, to be the father, to be a better father this time, a more present father, to see the rise of evil in the world and to be concerned about that and to know that now is the time to be courageous.
Now is the time for people to step up and say injustice, whether it's the current attack on women, whether it's...
The educational system, not educating kids.
Take your kids out of college right now.
Now is not the time to let your kids come.
How much do you have to hate your kids to send them to Harvard undergrad right now?
And in a meeting, Dr. M. Scott Peck, when I was a young man, and reading his books about the first self-help book was his.
It was The Road Less Traveled.
And it was a book about how to be a better person, how to grow as a human being spiritually, and not take the easy road.
Of just repetitive behavior or just not learning, not growing.
But take the harder road, becoming a better person, learning, loving, being tolerant, being forgiving, being patient, which is, you can easily see how he transitioned into Christianity.
Because he was a Christian without saying.
He was just already had the followings of Jesus in his heart.
And so it was a natural opening.
And he had a very interesting story about him.
About how he was the doctor in the massacre of Mai Lai, which is the Vietnam massacre in the late 60s.
And he was assigned as a psychologist by the U.S. Army to kind of figure out the psychological makeup of the company Baker who did the massacre.
And so he did.
And it was very interesting, his findings.
One thing is the only reason we ever learned about the massacre of Mylai was because the helicopter pilot who witnessed it flying above couldn't live with it anymore.
And so a year later to the day, he confessed and just said, well, this is what happened.
These people were massacred.
And so during the psychological evaluation, Which the Army never released.
He said that these people weren't like...
These particular company had members in it that had some grievances and that they had other issues and problems and some of them maybe had joined the Army to avoid this or that or were in prison or whatever.
And then that also was just one aspect of it.
The other aspect of it is that they were being...
In a war that wasn't as much support back home.
So they were, and they were going through, and they were getting sniped at by the enemy.
Sniper fire.
And they were killing their friends, and they weren't able to get the enemy.
They weren't able to get them.
And they just kept happening.
And so by the time they got to a village, they said, where is it?
Where is it?
Where are they?
And this is something that's interesting because it reflected on my childhood.
Because Asian people, when they are nervous, when they are frightened, they laugh.
That is true when all my relatives, when they are nervous or when they laugh, that's their go-to thing.
So when the Vietnamese people who were having guns pointed at them were nervous and afraid, they laughed.
And these people went ballistic at that point and just murdered the entire village.
Just murdered them all.
Killed them all.
And so he did this and handed it in and the army never released it.
So moving further, he wrote a book about, after he became a Christian, and then wrote a book about healing human evil called People of the Lie.
And it's a short book, but very good book about evil.
And it's important now to identify and to help heal human evil.
And it's a fascinating book, but it helps you identify people in your life and people who are capable and who are evil.
And evil does exist.
And we need to arm ourselves with God and arm ourselves with knowledge so we can protect ourselves for what's a rise in evil.
And the last chapter of the book, well, one of the chapters, which is really...
And stunningly awful was this one kid who was depressed, and he went to go see Dr. M. Scott Peck, and he found out that his brother had killed himself.
And he realized this is a really good kid, you know?
And he's depressed, obviously, his brother killed.
And then he found out that for a birthday present, his parents gave him a gun.
He was just absolutely stunned.
But it wasn't just that.
It was the same gun.
That his brother killed himself with.
So there was a realization.
And he talked to the parents and realized these were evil people.
And so that potentiality for human evil, we need to recognize and help heal, protect ourselves, protect our families.
And the last chapter on it, which is demonic and satanic possession.
And it was like, you know, I'm reading this book.
It's three o'clock in the morning at this point.
I'm starting to freak out like this.
But he postulated this theory.
He said, like, the people who seem to be possessed seem to be very angelic people that this entity is trying to overtake.
And they're fighting back for it to free themselves.
And evil, even evil, it has to succumb.
To the will of Jesus Christ and must submit to it.
And the theory that he postulates, well, this is somebody who's fighting back.
So therefore, it makes sense that there are people who don't fight back and just accept it and go with that.
And that kind of, that demonic possession becomes complete.
And I think we have to...
We have to know that that's something that exists.
It's real.
Human evil.
Whatever you want to call it.
And so what Dr. M. Scott Peck in the bigger picture tried to explain was that obviously science and theology had to split at a certain point to survive because theology was crushing science.
The beauty of it, and my children, and the beauty of seeing what God's gifts are.
And there's so many.
And also to be...
You have to recognize that this, you know, whether it's a cycle or what happens, you know, that there is evil.
There seems to be a rise in evil in the world, what's happening.
And just like, you know, in Europe in the 1920s, the New York Times called these small group of people, a bunch of misfits and nothing will ever come of them, the National Socialists.
I think we need to be very careful how we move.
And I believe the United States must.
Continue to be the guide for the world as an example of freedom.
And an incredible people and a beautiful, clean, organized, wonderful country.
But just to let you know that there's no country that is not susceptible to do horrible things and to perpetuate evil in the world.
And we have to be a buttress to it.
To really think about our actions and to make sure that we're coming from a place of reflection and that we're doing the work of God.
This country is a good country.
I love this country.
I will fight for this country.
And I want to raise my kids in this country.
There's no other place to go.
It's like, you know, we'll just go to this other place.
This is it.
This is the last stand for freedom in the world.
This is it.
We're staying.
We're going to fix.
We're going to fight.
And we're not going anywhere.
And I want to make sure, whatever time I have left, and God willing, that God has given me my health and a beautiful family, whatever time I have, I want to make sure that the potentiality, the potential for my kids to have the same, to live their dreams, this crazy kid, Filipino Jew, and have a chance to...
Live his dreams, get on Saturday Night Live and stay live from New York a Saturday night and to make movies that my dad could see.
I just, what an amazing, what an amazing country this is.
I'd like to end on something that my friend said right before this new flap in the media about me.
He said, what an incredible coincidence.
And there is no coincidence.
Everything's meant.
This is a reflection for the day.
August 10th.
We've been our own worst enemies most of our lives, and we've often injured ourselves seriously as a result of a justified resentment over a slight wrong.
Doubtless, there are many causes for resentment in the world, most of them providing So,
I would say...
Thank you for this time.
Thank you for this time, Jesus, and allowing me to speak my mind with this wonderful conversation and with my new friend, Tucker, and God bless this great country and protect our children.
God bless my daughter and God bless all the daughters and all the people that are having problems in the world.
And we thank you for all these opportunities that you give us.
In Jesus' name we pray, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
So it turns out that YouTube is suppressing our show.
I know.
Shocking that in an election year, with everything at stake, Google would be putting its thumb on the scale and preventing you from hearing anything that the people in charge don't want you to hear.
But it turns out it's happening.
So what can you do about it?
Well, we could whine about it.
But that's a waste of time.
We're not in charge of Google.
Or we could find a way around it.
A way that you could actually get information that's true.
It's unintentionally deceptive.
And the way to do that on YouTube, we think, is to subscribe to our channel.
Subscribe!
And you'll have a much higher chance of hearing what we say.
