Carlson: “People are like, oh, well, we had another hurricane, must be global warming. No, it's probably abortion, actually. Just being honest.”

STEVE BANNON (HOST): Something — it's come up in the last couple of days. I know because, obviously, I followed you for years. You were at Daily Caller and Andrew had Breitbart, then at Fox. You've been very hesitant in the past to talk about your spiritual journey or to talk, you know, to get off topics of politics and culture and power and media, but I was fascinated about this revelation of this event that happened in your life. Do you think that there are deeper forces at play here? Is this more than just Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk and a bunch of guys running around, talking about in this material world, you know, politics and being Democrats and taking on the intelligence, legal, financial apparatus. Is there something deeper going on here?
TUCKER CARLSON (GUEST): Well, Breitbart, who I was just thinking about yesterday. What a good man who's been gone for, gosh, twelve years, anyway, I think. Used to say famously that politics is downstream from culture. Culture is downstream from the spiritual battle. So not only is the battle in the unseen world — not only is it part of what we're seeing, it is actually what we're seeing. We're seeing the physical manifestations of something that's been going on for eternity. As for why I don't talk about that stuff. I mean, on the one hand, I'm a WASP, sort of trained not to talk about that kind of stuff. And, no, I'm — it's true. It's a cultural thing. And you just don't talk about money or religion in public ever. It's hard for me to talk about it with my wife. And, for another, I never wanna hold myself out as some paragon of virtue because I'm very non-virtuous and have led a really pretty spotted — have a pretty spotted record, I would say. So I don't wanna be — I don't wanna discredit in any way the faith that I have. But I will say, yes. I have experienced that personally. That sort of popped out in a conversation I was having with an old friend of mine called Scooter Downey, and it wound up on camera. I was a little bit shocked to see it. But yeah. No. I was on February 20, 2023, I was attacked in my bed by a spiritual being and clawed and left bleeding and scarred. And do I understand what happened? No. Of course, I don't. I don't really understand anything, but that did happen to me. I don't care if people believe me or not. It did. And I think it was just a momentary glimpse of something that's happening at all times, which is, again, this war between forces that we can't see but that has been ongoing and has been, in fact, described by every culture since the beginning. Every culture that we know about has described this battle, and, in fact, it's been the basis of every religion. It's certainly the basis of Christianity, which I think is true, by the way. Factually speaking, I think Christianity is true. But even if you don't, I think you can acknowledge that we're the only culture that hasn't been really absorbed in thinking and talking about this.
Not since we dropped the atomic bomb in Nagasaki, the second one in August of 1945, and decided that we were gods and the god himself no longer existed — since then, we have been a secular society, and that's why we're now being destroyed in my view. But even if you don't buy any of that, you have to acknowledge that we're living in an anomalous time. This is the only period, these 80 years, where people haven't been daily discussing the spiritual battle around them. Every other culture has. And, in fact, the remote ones still do, and they're all right and we're wrong. And the big change in the moment that we're living in is people are awakening to this fact that we've been on this vacation from reality, a vacation from spiritual reality. And, of course, it's not just a part of what we're seeing, it's definitive. And I'm not just saying that anyone who disagrees with me is evil. I'm not saying that. I have been evil many times in my life and unfortunately will be again.
So I'm not — again, I just wanna be really clear that I'm not, sort of, holding myself up as, like, you know, as a great person or a perfect Christian or anything like that, but this exists quite apart from me or my behavior. It's true. And now it's sort of unmasked, and anyone who's paying any attention at all — I mean, look. If you're making the case that, you know, sometimes we need to have an abortion, OK. If you're making the case that abortion is an affirmative good, you are evil. You're practicing child sacrifice, And that is exactly what they're doing as every culture before us has. But to see the Treasury secretary, that dwarf Janet Yellen, get up and say, you know, you can do your part to help the American economy by killing your child, that's no different than the Canaanites, actually. So if people who don't see that clearly, that's exactly what it is. Worshiping abortion, the killing of kids, not as something that, like, needs to happen unfortunately, but as something that is good, that's pro-abortion. You know?
People — and I have to say, and I'm sure I'll be attacked for saying this, but I really believe it. People are like, oh, well, we had another hurricane, must be global warming. No, it's probably abortion, actually. Just being honest. Like, you can't do that. You can't kill children on purpose knowing that you're doing that in exchange for power or freedom or happiness, whatever you think you're getting in return. You can't participate in human sacrifice without consequences. You just can't. Sorry. I'm sorry to say that. Trust me. I'm a secular person from La Jolla, California who was baptized in the Episcopal Church. And if I can see that, if it's obvious to me, then I think it's very obvious to a lot of people.
