Do you think. The presence of evil is kick starting people to wonder about the good? - That's what happened to me. - That's what happened to you. Oh, yeah. I had a direct experience with it. In the milieu of journalism. Or just. Nope, in my bed at night. [00:00:16] And I got attacked while I was asleep with my wife and four dogs in the bed and mauled. - Physically mauled in a spiritual. - Attack by a demon? Yeah. By a demon or by something unseen. That left. [00:00:32] Is that right? A claw marks on my sides. On my. - So it left physical marks. - Oh, they're still there. In a video published today, Tucker Carlson claimed that he was the victim of a demon attack. [00:00:48] Let's watch more. Was your wife terrified? I know you were. I wasn't, I was totally confused. I woke up and I couldn't breathe, and I thought I was going to suffocate. And I walked around outside. And then I walked in and my wife and dogs had not woken up. And they're very light sleepers. [00:01:04] And then I had these terrible pains on my rib cage and on my shoulder, and I was just in my boxer shorts, and I went and flipped on the light in the bathroom, and I had four claw marks on either side, underneath my arms and on my left shoulder. - And they're bleeding. - Wait, they were bleeding. [00:01:22] - We're bleeding. - Yeah. There were actual claw marks, and I sleep on my side, so I wasn't clawing myself. I don't have long nails and they didn't fit my hands anyway. But yeah, that happened. And then I was seized with this very intense desire to read the Bible. [00:01:38] So I spent a year and a half reading it, and then I started rereading it, and it was just a transformative experience for me. But I'm not, you know, holding myself out as someone from whom you could get theological advice. Dank demonic attacks. I mean, this sounds scary. [00:01:56] There were there were four dogs in his bed. It couldn't have been the dogs. Jordan, I don't know if you know this, but a demon just crossed your path, so. That was spooky. That was really weird. On Halloween we say there's no demons, but yet all of a sudden a blackish [00:02:13] looking cat just crossed right in front. Okay, look, guys, I don't know what to tell you, honestly. Yeah, if you believe that story by Tucker Carlson, you're a lost cause. So, like, you know, there's not one thing that Jordan or I could tell you or anybody [00:02:29] could tell you that will get you to. To change your mind. If you can believe that crazy crap. Okay. But for the rest of us. Jesus. Look at this. Is he's one of the leading figures on the right. He had the number one show on Fox News, and he would do [00:02:44] this kind of crazy stuff on Fox News. The segment I can't get over was the one where he said, if you suntan your testicles, that it'll. Well, I forget now. Make you healthier. Make you more of a man or something. And they like this image and the guy's like, thing. And then there's, like, lasers shooting at the guy's testicles. [00:03:01] This guy's a bona fide lunatic now. Look, I don't know that he has lost his mind as much as he's hamming it up for his audience, and he thinks his audience are all lunatic conspiracy theorists, and that's why he's doing this. But no, a demon did not attack Tucker Carlson in the middle of the night [00:03:20] and scratch him out. So whether it was one of his dogs or whoever, somebody else in the house, whoever did it online. They're offering, you know, rewards for it. But no, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. God bless the dogs. [00:03:36] No, seriously, we don't want anybody getting hurt in all seriousness, especially by demons. Because this is because I think that there's some. Does anybody really, really, really, really, really. You believe that demons attacked Tucker Carlson in the middle of the night? I can't believe there's one person who believes that. [00:03:52] But there are probably millions. Millions who believe that cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. You know, all that America, they're sending people from their asylums. And maybe it's Tucker Carlson that is just nuts. [00:04:12] Well, Jake, I mean, the one thing that I know to understand that this is not true is demons don't attack their own. It's just not what they do. But since since it's Halloween, we've pulled some really interesting tidbits for our beloved audience. [00:04:28] And apparently Carlson is not the only one dealing with things that go bump in the night. A stunning and spooky new survey has revealed that 60% of homeowners think that their house might be haunted. That's a huge number, but why are so many people convinced [00:04:45] that they are bunking with ghosts? Well, 65% of survey respondents have experienced unexplained phenomena in their home. 77% of respondents reported hearing spooky sounds at home, such as unsettling noises in the walls, 31%, creaky floors 30%, [00:05:06] and flickering lights 26%. Nearly 20% are afraid of certain areas in their homes, like basements and attics. But get this, 58% of respondents would still consider living in a haunted house. [00:05:24] Would you? Well, if 77% think that it might be, well, they don't have much choice, do they? They're going to have to live in a house at some point. Maybe they're all haunted. Look, guys, this is to me way, way, way different than the Tucker story. [00:05:39] And so I'll tell you a whole bunch of fun things related to this. So a friend of mine came over from Turkey. This was decades ago. And he comes to our house in Jersey, and it's late at night, and he's there by himself. He's a really good family friend, and. [00:05:56] But he's never lived or been in the suburbs. He grew up in a big city in Istanbul, and in the night he hears like on the on the roof and like on the roof, he's like, And he's like, scared out of his mind. [00:06:11] It was squirrels. But there's no squirrels in Istanbul. So, like, it didn't occur to him that it might be squirrels, by the way, if things are, you know, moving around beneath you and the walls, it's very likely mice or rats. But anyways, so the guy get it? [00:06:29] The other day I'm watching a football with my son, and, and I, he's in the middle of a tough fantasy football game. It's going to be decided by the Sunday night game that the Steelers are in. And I say, well, I mean, the good news is that George Pickens hasn't done much yet, [00:06:45] because he was playing against him and he's like, no, what are you doing? You're gonna jinx me. And boom Pickens catches like a 40 yard pass. And then and then I joke around with him two more times. I'm like, well, I mean, you're still winning, but you never know. But I think all three times it goes against him. [00:07:01] He's like, I knew that jinx was real. And then the other night, Yankees Dodgers game and I go, look, I'll prove that jinx isn't real. The Yankees are up five. Nothing. I bet they win this game. There, I jinxed him, I swear to God. A second later, Aaron Judge drops the ball in the three error game inning [00:07:18] where the Yankees lost the lead and lost the World Series. By now, Yankees are. Fans are going to be so mad at me. So my point is believing in jinx and ghosts and stuff like that, that's kind of innocent fun stuff. Look, if you break it down with these guys, do they really think [00:07:35] their house is haunted? Do they really think that there's ghosts? And they might kind of think it, but they haven't done it. Analysis. They're not. It's not. To me, that's not a serious issue. Thinking that a demon literally attacked you and ripped your skin in the middle of the night, that's a serious issue that you should get mental health counseling for. [00:07:55] Yeah. I'm with you there. It's just. It's sad. It seems like another part of his grift and a pivot toward a different community and audience that he can profit from. Sell tickets to speaking events, sell books, get them to watch his show. [00:08:10] It's just so transparent. Like Russell Brand had the same pivot. He gets gets canceled all of a sudden. Whoa, I'm really religious now. Welcome me into your community. And he starts hawking scam products. So it's just the same pattern from all of these guys? Yeah. [00:08:26] I'll say one last thing about it. For guys like Russell Brunson. I you know, what do I know? I'm guessing right. But I feel like that he really did get more religious. And he he and this is not necessarily a good thing. But to me I feel like he's gotten more unbalanced. [00:08:42] Right. With Tucker. I don't think he believes any of that stuff. I think it's totally a performance. And he's just. And the further he's gone away from mainstream media, the more he's getting audience captured by the conspiratorial audience [00:09:01] that he's cultivating in his in his show. Right. So in order to feed that audience, he has to get crazier and crazier. And next time he'll wrestle the demon and he'll kill it, and he won't show the demon, but my God, trust him. Tucker got him. And he's a demon slayer. [00:09:18] And that's why you should vote for him for president after Trump. That's that's been the route he's going to go. So God help you if you believe that stuff. That and whether you something went wrong in your life and you're going in a direction that makes no sense, [00:09:34] or you're just doing it because you're a con man and you just want to scam people out of money. Either way, not a great look. But overall, I'm kind of worried that we did this video. Not because the demons are going to attack us at night, but because Yankees fans [00:09:50] just found out I jinxed them. And they're not going to find it that funny. Is it possible that a lot of people were talking about the Yankees at that same exact time? No. Imagine a scenario. No, I can't. [00:10:07] - No. Only you. - Okay, well, then I guess it's my fault.
