I've been in entertainment and in talk for decades. I was an actor when I was younger. I've been a writer. I mean, all of the things that we bring here is about making information acceptable and palatable. There is no greater tool in the world than laughter. If you want to make something believe something, you better, if you want to make someone believe in something, you got to make them laugh. You got to open up that heart chakra for just a minute so that they're going to make something. They release, they put down their defenses, and they let a little bit of truth slip in.

So that's why throughout time our comedians have really been the news, and more and ever, that's true. There's no one that put their neck out the way that Jim Brewer did. There is nobody during COVID that stood as like boldly against the insanity that we saw there. Risk it all. I'm sure risk disfinances, risk being attacked by all the media entities that are out there. I consider this guy a brother man and I cannot wait to talk to him. If you don't know who I'm talking about, let me remind you. This is Jim Brewer.

Ladies and gentlemen, Jim Brewer. Jim Brewer. Jim Brewer. Jim Brewer. Jim Brewer. Jim Buhr. Jim Brewer. Jim Brewer spending this summer at the Jersey Shore.

Hello, everyone. I'm Joe Pesci. Goat boy. Well, I just think me. Me. Get some pizzas. We need two big pizzas, man. Everything on them with water, a whole lot of water, and onions. Animals have urges they can't control.

I should know I'm half-grim. They got big bugs in Florida, and they're fearless. You turn on a light late at night, they usually panic. Oh, grab the bed, go down a drain, and it's it. drain and it's it right those things though you turn a light they got your dog in a headlock and go back to bed turn off the light you a lot of people remember the goat boy thing where did you pull that out you know what that was honestly that was my white trash blue collar background looking for free drinks and i would go in a bar guy like yeah can i help you out yeah we need a

I need a couple beers, a couple of shah. Listen, drinks are on the house. I was always into like hard rock growing up, man. I loved 80s metal. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I got the tour at Metallica, which was very surreal for me. I grew up watching them. Welcome Grand Rapids to Metallica. I have two quick updates on show. on shows due to the segregation of them forcing people to show up with vaccination to prove that you've had a shot.

I am absolutely not doing those shows. I don't want any of my fans forced to come laugh and they got to get a shot in them. Tucker Carlson invited a comedian named Jim Brewer on his program. It got a little off the rails. The guy he's interviewing is completely. out of his mind and all this is BS the wackiest most unhinged anti-vaccine and anti-science voices I want to thank all you for risking your lives to be here the vaccinators you were real cocky a couple months ago I can't get sick from the corona I'm vaccinated I'll even

licking metal I'm not afraid of anything mhmu-da-da-da-da-da-oh people vaccinated getting sick What? It was just something I didn't expect. Bless you. Woo! Woo! Woo! Look at them against the wall.

We're vaccinated. I feel like this is going to be a Broadway play in three years. It's... Trust the science. Trust the science. CDC, Dr. Fauci. Mask on, mask off, two shots. Two shots one shot mascot two men and says put your mascot when you're walking a rock to ride

Simon says sit down take you off on your safety tonight and may you all have love and laughter in this crazy lifetime we're living I honor and pleasure to be joined by Jim Brewer man's happening good to be here you are a badass I mean just really awesome just to sit and watch you know what we all went through in that sort of time capsule. Yeah, that was, that was, and when I filmed it, it, well, first of all, I released it on YouTube and, and other, only because I had, I already filmed it, I invested my own money. I want to do my own special. And, um, I had a platform. I won't name the platform, but they were, they, people were only in a download for $1.99, $2.99, $2.99.

We had the, we already started getting the puriters. Yeah. And it was on a great platform where they played big band concerts. And after I made that Facebook Live, I'm not doing any events that pushed the VASCard. The guy called up and he's like, listen, big fan, can't air your event. We're done. Wow. We're going to lose.

We're going to lose billions of dollars if we air this. so it's business. I understand completely. I totally get it. Money, money, money. Not science, right? Right, right. Not experts, right?

Unbelievable. The money. Yeah. Kching, kaching. Who cares about morality when you got money. Yes.

No, no, no. Science don't get paid. No, they care about your life. So that was and then when I performed that, it was almost a year and a half before it even came out. So it really was in the thick of things. And yeah, I didn't, I don't care.

I don't care. I've reached a stage at life where morality and common sense and fearlessness should overcome the fear that they infiltrate day after day after day. day. It was, that was, we're about to hit crazier times, but that was a very intense, crazy time. What I noticed was, if you ever went to war, I was shocked how many people just laid their guns down and ran and did this. Right, right. That's the part that freaked me out. Yeah. That's the part that. Yeah, they just gave in. I always say that when the day the masks were on the airplane, I was sitting on a plane the very next day. They're like, oh, actually today,

the law just, yeah, got revoked. You don't have to wear your mask. And like everyone in the plane just go, woohoo, throws the mask off. There's like three or four people still wearing the mask. And it's like, I respect them more. They actually believed this thing. They're committed. The rest of you just bent down and took this knowing it made no sense whatsoever. That's the worst.

Yeah, no. I highly agree. And there's still some. Yeah. There's still some on the plane. There's a handful. Yeah, but because they're committed and they believe it. They believe it.

I mean, at least that's not, they're not hypocrites. I can respect that. this thing. I can respect that on some level. So when you say you're fearless, which clearly you demonstrated that you were, have you always been that way?

Is there a time in your career? Because we just watched a massive career where this thing would have hit and you would have maybe you were younger and would just said, you know what? Oh no, if I was younger, I would have. I think everyone goes through a period of I wanted

to be I want to be famous. So I want leather pants. I want a kangaroo. I wouldn't look like Eddie Murphy in his first special. I want a zebra.

I want maybe some monkeys. So when you're chasing fame and your ego, vanity, and like a lot of TV or film celebrities, they're backed by a corporation or they're backed by a studio

that can take their paycheck away. Yeah, I probably might have had second thoughts in the past, but since I moved on from all that, where I just, I control my own destiny, I didn't. Is there a turning point for that? Was there a moment you look back and say, this is that thing that happened in my life that I just... Well, this particular event for COVID, yes. It was the first time... Yeah. I've always been whatever you want to call it. I don't like the word conspiracy, but I can see things for what I felt they were worth a long time ago.

Okay. And when I said, Saturday Live and being in the TV film industry, I saw a lot of behind the curtains. I go to news channels. I see behind the curtains. I see it really is just a show. This guy preaching all his hate on this hate channel. He doesn't even believe what he's saying, but he's taking the cash to sell what they're selling. And they all kind of say the same thing.

When you really push into it, it's like, hey, look, if I don't do it, someone else is going to do it. So it's not like I'm stopping anything. And if someone's going to get paid to do it, it might as well be me. I mean, that's sort of this thinking, right? Yeah, and they're just like getting into certain restaurants. If you leave a reservation, I know it's a Friday night, but you know me, I've got the 8 o'clock slot on. Right, XYC. So, you know, years ago, I try not to get emotionally attached to any group my whole life.

Okay. And when you're not emotionally attached, you don't blindly follow. Right. And the first time I really saw things that opened my eyes was the first Gulf War and George Bush saying, this is the new world order and we will win and I remember my best friend and I talking about this going, you know what the new world order is, right?

You've looked into what the new... Does anyone have a clue what this man is talking about right now? And then, you know, we invaded Iraq because he was... Whatever the monster they sold us on... There's always a new monster. Yeah.

And then I sold... CNN 24-7 watching you bomb kill destroy reality show let's just watch and then I

then I hit me I went wow this is the beginning of overload brainwashing because then you had the screen

and then you had the bottom of the screen so if you weren't watching that you watch it and then you had to oh and now they're doing the experts and then they started

spawning off all these other news channels all chirping the same thing with just this one's a little prettier that one sells it a little better and that that was when I realized wow the power the power of brainwashing and then I looked at how far back it went and so that's always I've always felt that and and feel like I've known that and then when COVID when COVID hit and those things certain people don't see and they don't talk about it or if you do it oh you're a nut or you smoke you must smoke marijuana whatever excuse they come to dismiss it COVID knocked on my door

and infiltrated my home and you know i can i can say well i should have stepped up for this and this and this and this but cov it was the first time where my kids my neighbors my family And it was almost like they came up with a genius way to separate everyone because that's exactly what they did. The kids in college believed, oh, Dad, you're not, you don't understand. Like people, I had to sit my daughter and go, it started my agents. My agent, majeet, and they were telling me, you know, this is getting serious. I went, you, you, Errol Smith is on tour, Metallica is on tour.

I just did 100 cities. I did thousands of meet and greets, checked into so many hotels, touched the doorknobs, pressed the buttons, went to Vegas, touched the money. I forgot to wash my hair. Did everything. Cabs, Uber's, dinner. Nobody died. Right. Nobody died.

Now all of a sudden people are dropping life eyes and the last month. And I asked my kid, I said, name me someone you know. that has passed in our neighborhood. No, but I don't want to hear you know someone that you know of someone. Right, right. I want to hear Fred. Fred got it, or Bill got it, or Tom is not going to make it. And I also had an instance where a dear friend of mine, Rob from New Jersey, he got it, got submitted in the hospital.

And that was the end. they were going to pull the plug on him. And then someone came in last second and said he's dehydrated. You're giving them wrong things. Got him up. But he's still brain damaged. He's completely damaged. So it wasn't COVID that did it.

Yeah. It was what the protocol was at that time. And so, you know, I had friends that worked at hospital said, you know, we're getting paid. We're getting kickbacks to, yeah, it was COVID. And that is the most demonic, evil human thing you can ever do. So I lost complete trust in the medical industry. The entire, I never trusted the news. I will never, ever, ever.

I watch them to know what their agenda is. Because you got to know the devil to fight the devil. I almost feel like it's at the point I've said this before that when I watch the news, I pretty much just say opposite day. I'm not going to say I'm totally accurate by just going whatever they're saying it's the opposite, but I know I'm more accurate. I'm closer to the truth by just say exact opposite of what you just said than listening to it. It's the great magic act.

Keep your eye on the. Keep doing all that stuff. Roll out monkey pox. Roll out Kamala Harris real quick. She's going to, no taxes on tips. Didn't Trump say that? Yeah, but they buy anything we say. It's like, hey, hell we go.

Speaking that, you're using terms like brainwash. I call it hypnosis based on, you know. That too. Matthias Desmond, and I don't know if you're aware of the work that he did, looking at this, but as a comedian, do you, there are things that snap people out of being brainwashed. Like if you've got it, somehow you've got to get thrown to them emotionally. Is that what, I mean, I do think that that's comedy, does it have that ability to snap someone out of a trance?

Possibly. That's my, that was my mission. Yeah. Like when I, when I did that, the concert we're referring to is called Somebody Had to Say It. And that was the whole, it was COVID, it was gender. It was what they're teaching in colleges as a man in his, 50s, pain. I put out everything at that time.

I was hoping you see the red, I hoping that I was portraying the ridiculousness of what I'm watching. I'm watching the mayor of New York eating McDonald's French fries. Probably the most unhealthy. disturbing food, if it is food, going, Mm, mm, you mean, I get free frank fries if I stick this needle in me? Who's not watching this going, oh, you know what, maybe something's weird going on? I know.

I know. It's amazing. It really is. But it still exists. Yeah, it does. It's like, I'm not saying I'm Trump or whoever. How do you watch Biden half the time? and go, oh, yeah, there's nothing wrong.

And then the day they were all shocked. It took a debate. It took a debate for him sounding like Ozzy. It took that for anyone blindly following going, oh, yeah, maybe something's wrong. Are you kidding me? But yes, it's powerful. It's extremely powerful. but to find

because my first reaction is always frustration I try to mirror it where you see what's going on but it does work but not 100%. There's still... So when you're thinking of a routine I know like when I do a lot of public speaking on these issues and I always think

if there was if there's only one doctor in the house I'm making this for you. I'm going to make an argument that's going to piss you off so bad because you will not be able to beat me in this argument and you're going to go home. It's going to drive you nuts so you don't. Now, the room may be, you know, 1,200 people that I know are on my side and want the information. Yeah. But most of the time, there's two things. I think if there's a doctor in the house, I want, I'm writing this for you. If there's someone that's about to vaccinate their kid, please hear this. But for you, when I watched that,

I mean, you are, you really were calling people out and how ridiculous they are. Were you writing that to try and get through to those people? Yes. Or was it to entertain those of us that were just all saying, yeah, I know, it's crazy. No. Watching the same thing. It's a little bit of both, but I'm really trying to wake people up. It still staggers my thought process that anyone will still defend those times.

I know. And they'll still go. They use all the, you know, part of that I did a, I call it the cockatoos, the cockatoo. Yeah, the. And what the cockatoos do is they, again, it's hypnotized and it's brainwashing. You'll sit there and then you'll just, you'll, you think you know this information. When all you're doing is you just watch Bugs Bunny and now you're repeating the Bugs Bunny. That's all you're doing.

Threat to our democracy. Threat to our democracy. Weird. Weird. They're weird. Like, oh my God. You don't even have a thought process. of your own anymore.

So that's what I'm trying to reach. But I'm also, what it also taught me was, you're not gonna reach everyone. And you have to come to a sad reality that you could only light the inner spirit in so many people and just pray to the, to our Creator that that light and that spirit will spread enough light, enough common sense, enough spirit to create what is truly inside

all of us to see what is truly going on. And then no longer, like stop bickering with the people that don't get, they don't get it. Right. They're not going to. It's over. Yeah. It's over. They're not getting it.

And it's okay. I take it as they are. casualties of war. Yeah. We are in almost exactly the same. We are in a war. Yeah. Period.

No matter how you want to explain the war, it's an information war, it's a spiritual war. It's a war. Yeah. And they made it clear they have no issue taking your child out. They have no issue taking out your mother, your grandmother, they have no issue separating your home, your best friend, any of that. There's nothing that stands in their way for this demonic cause, which is what it is. You watch the opening Olympics. Did anyone go, wow, that was just incredible.

Like what? But here's the thing, here's the voodoo of that. You watch the opening of the Olympics, which has nothing to do with sports. It's all sexual. You have men dressing up as women. You're sexualizing a whole, the last supper, whether you believe in that faith or not. You have children involved. Here's what nobody goes after. Somebody had to show up at the board that day and go, I got a great idea. Here's the way to bring everyone together, and we're going to unite the world. We're going to have naked freaks, evil, beheadless, and sexualize men and transgender and children. And we're, and not one human being in that board went in that team. I don't know. I know. I don't know. But here's where it gets. Here's where it gets uglier.

Same thing. Every network has to approve that. Totally. Every network has to sit and go, oh yeah. Let's do this. Every corporate sponsor that was involved in the Olympics should be, in my opinion, banned forever. Get rid of all of them. Who, what, what? Every corporation had to look at that and go, here's our sponsorship. Every network had to go. They act like, well, the director did this.

Like, you, I'm coming from me. Like it just came out that day. There's no way. Millions, hundreds of millions of dollars are being spent. I guarantee you, just like in every other industry, hundreds of millions of dollars means a lot to the people that have it. They don't want to waste it. And they want to make sure it's really.

Let me see. What am I spending my money on? Oh, yeah. Right. But here's the mentality of humanity. They just don't care. So at the beginning of every baseball game, we're watching a porno. Before the ball game, let's cut to a porno.

Okay. You're going to go, well, okay, I'm still going to watch the game. I mean, that's okay. This is where we're at. Submission, submission, submission, brainwash, voodoo, dark. and everyone's just, all right. You're talking up like a ball.

Well, when you're talking about, I mean, obviously your job as a comedian is to, as you said, reflect, hold a mirror up. This is who we are. What's going on? Yes. You know, I get worried about people. I mean, I think about, like, the genius of Bill Hicks and other comedians like that. Carlin. Yeah, Carlin, you know, that push it, but eventually get so obsessed.

I mean, Bill Hicks at certain points, just screaming in his audience to wait. to wake up. I saw that. Do you ever feel that inside of you? Do you have something that you do to say, oh, I'm starting to hate people? I got to watch it. I'm losing hope. I'm losing faith.

No, no, no. Yeah. That happened big time during COVID and trying to take the rage. And I use it. My initial humor comes from frustration and being angry and just back. that you're you don't get it so I try to point out the ridiculousness but yes the issue my process is get that frustration out and once it's out now find the funny find the find the funny so it doesn't come because you still you still

have to be funny yeah and I remember George Carlin not his last special the right before it. I couldn't tell you the name of it. He was really angry. Yeah. Really angry. And as a Carlin fan, went, oh, wow. I don't, but I wasn't able to process why he was angry. I agreed what he was saying, but I didn't want to see him angry. Yeah, we lost this. We're not funny anymore.

And same with Bill Hicks. Yeah. But now I look at Bill and go, wow, that was, oh, he was a martyr for. what he was saying. Yeah. But I feel I'm very aware of that going on stage. I can vent this way here, but going on stage, they want to come out laugh. So there's a fine line between pointing the finger and go, are he, am I the only one

going, am I the only one thinks this is absolutely nuts? Yeah. And so, yeah, that's a, that, that has been my biggest struggle. I don't feel like I have it much anymore, but COVID was quite a struggle during that. There was a couple times where I'd really lay into it, lay into it with anger. But also, when I was working out,

I had playing clubs that had tents or weren't allowed more than 50 people in the room. I couldn't do theaters. I'm used to playing theaters. Theaters weren't open yet. Yeah. So, yeah, I was working out. And there was times that I really let go.

And I realized this is not, that's not healthy for everyone. It's not going to help anyone. You, you're, what I find interesting is how many people sit in that seat, scientists, actor, whatever the case may be, talking about a spiritual life. Yeah. You know, and I would assume that that's probably what keeps you from losing it is I have to, You got to find the ground.

I do too. My spiritual life is very important to me. Is that something you've always had all the way through? Yes. I've had a deep moral, spiritual grounding since I was probably, I was really in tune with it. Maybe by my teenage years where I started. And then, you know, you lose it a lot. I would go back and forth, but I always knew that presence was there.

And balancing that was hard at times, but that's been my driving force. That was, that's always been a major, major, major part of me. And I, and that's my driving force, especially since COVID on. with my podcast it's because a lot of people a lot of people need to know something exist but they also don't trust that either because well because it's that's been it's been infiltrated and used as propaganda like everything else so but I I like telling true stories that actually happen that I kind of like whoa that's I get people that go whoa I'm not religious

but that's anyone what's what's a what's a moment that would feel like because I mean I share those stories sometimes too and they are where you recognize holy cow I think that was just a miracle yeah I'll I'll give you well she's there's so many I'll give you one that put out there many times but there's so many that when my first of all I always beg God no matter how much I'm on the road

I just want to be home for my when my dad passes please let me be there please I don't want that man to go along he was a World War II vet a very blue collar grew up with nothing he was a major rock

because so was my mom but for a For a man that grew up with no mother, 10 brothers and sisters in Dayton, Kentucky, back during the Depression, then they sent to war, never complained in his life, never moaned about anything, always wanted things better for me. So that's another whole story. So as he got older, I just wanted to, I wanted to be there. I beg God, please be. And I did have that opportunity, which I highly suggest for anyone that has that opportunity. I know for some people it's a little scary, but it was the greatest, one of the all-time

greatest moments of my life to be able to have that. So after he passed, it was about, I don't know, it was maybe two months after. And I pray. I pray. I always, I never pray for anything. The only thing I ever asked for is, God, I hope I'm there when he passes if I could be that. To me, that's asking for something. I always ask for, hey, whatever you need me to say and whatever you need me to do

and how whatever to think, that's what I usually do. And this particular time, I was in my living room and I said, God, you know, I don't, when we go, like, do I, do I feel his energy?

Like, I know you're not going to give me the answer, but I just, I was really struggling with, what, is he really going to, like, God, if I could just, what is it like? When we passed, we, Yeah.

Well, is his presence really gone forever's energy and all that, which I understand all that. Yeah. And while I'm doing that is a freaking tap on the window, nonstop, to all sound, pink, pink, pink, pink, pink, pink. What the? And I go walking over there, and there's this freaking cardinal, right? He's on the window. And every time I walk there, he keeps going back in the bush and he's staring at me. And every time I leave, he comes back.

I go back, bing, bing, bing, pink, pink, bing, bing, and I go back and say, I'm a little weirded out, like, Dad, you know, you, like, I don't know how to talk bird. Like, is it you? Like, what is this right now? Should I not let the cat out? What do we do? And my wife came home with the kids, and then this freaking bird started tapping the next day in the room that hell my dad, and he tapped around the house.

every single day throughout the entire, and every time I'd see him and he'd tap on the window, it was always like when I really, I was having a bar, bink, bink, bink, and I'd go to the window. And he would just stare at me. And I felt there was something. I couldn't put my finger on it.

You know, it's also weird. We're not taught stuff like that. The kids, everyone's in on this. The kids would yell at the bird. Grandpa, it's the weekend. There's no school. I'm trying to sleep. Please, Doug.

Tablet 11. It's 7.30 in the morning. I'm like, God, Groundpaw, go away. So it kind of became a funny thing. But it was every day. Boom, boom, boom. All the way through the winter, all the way through the following spring, all the way one year anniversary.

Cardinal keeps coming there. All the way through the next winter. All the way to March. That March, which I still struggle, I would see an old man or an elderly person being wheeled in a chair and I start crying. If I listen to Johnny Cash, I start crying. A million triggers. We're in Turks and Caicos on a vacation, and I have huge breakdown.

Like, ah, God. And I came out of it. of it and I went okay God I'm sorry I held on to dad that long I need to grow up this is part of life and I apologize I said God dad I am so sorry I held on to you that long I promise you I'm not gonna cry anymore I'm gonna laugh whenever I think of you whenever I tell story you please please you don't have to hang Please, I'm so sorry. I'm good.

I'm good. So, you know, we finished the vacation. I heard of Johnny Cash songs. Oh, okay, I'm all right. So some people at the airport as we're ready to leave in wheelchairs. Oh, I'm okay. Came home as soon as I walked in the door, my father-in-law is watching our cats.

And he comes up to me and he goes, hey, yeah. Remember the bird? Yeah, he'd think he left. Somewhere in the middle of the week, I noticed he wasn't tapping on the window. I don't know, maybe Wednesday or so. He just, so I don't know if he left or anything. And I just kind of, I feel like I knew what it was. Mm-hmm.

And he goes, what are he smiling about? I let my dad go this week. He goes, oh, for crying out loud, the bird, and he migrated. There is no God. spirit, stupid nonsense. But when you take moments like that, it's like, would that have happened if I wasn't in that moment? Would that have happened, like, when I let him go and then the bird leaves?

Like, I don't know what that. I don't know what that. And what is that? I remember the first time I wanted to write a book. And the book was, and I put it out, it was called, we went back and forth on this thing. It was, it's some, it's a stupid tile. I'm not high, but I got a lot of great stories about, blah, blah, blah, but it ends with, and a spiritual warrior. And I remember writing it.

This freaked me out. So I'm writing the, we're flying to Las Vegas. I'm doing a, some festival. and I said, I'm going to start writing these heavy spiritual stories that have happened to me growing up and throughout my life. And, you know, one of them was my brother that passed. We could be here for, this could be a nine-hour conversation. And I start writing because I feel this is going to help people. People can relate to these stories already.

And I'm writing it, I'm writing it, and I went back and forth. I was in such a zone when we landed. I realized I wrote like 20-something, handwritten 20-something pages on a three-hour flight. And my aunts were killing me. And I was totally zoned in on this. And we checked into the hotel. And I started writing some more. And on my kids' lives, I am not exaggerating this.

This is a true story. And we're in Cesar's. And my wife's like, hey, let's go down and do her. We do pedicure. I'm not doing it a pedicure. I want to be a guide. It's not down. I don't want there.

Right. And so I said, no, I'm going to write some more. And then as we were getting ready to go down, she's in the bedroom. And I went to the window. And I went, I'm going to change the world. And I'm in the devil's dead. I'm staring you in the, face and I ain't afraid of you and there's nothing you could do to touch this and I put the

notebook down on the table and we went downstairs came back she started getting ready for dinner in the show and I went to write and all the pages I wrote were gone so I'm going through the book like what the what the so I got I'm not I'm not going crazy. I know I took the notebook. I put it right down here in the table. So I'm looking all over. I'm going crazy thinking maybe it was a different notebook. Like there is no other notebook. So I'm yelling my wife like, where's it? She's like, no, you wrote it in this book. And I have her come and look at it. And she goes, that's, that's really, are you sure that was the notebook? I'm like, yes. I don't have another notebook. It was this notebook. So I'm looking all the

garbage. And then I went into the hallway and two doors down was a maid. And again, this is just my perception. I went up to her with the book. I said, hey, hey. And I don't know if she was just having an off day or she was just zoned somewhere else. She had this look on her face. I said, the notebook. Do you, do you? I had a notebook in there. And I had, and she, She went, oh, yeah, it's garbage. I went, what? What do you mean garbage? Oh, I put in garbage.

You put it, what do you mean you? What are you talking about? So she came in the room, ripped out the pages, and threw it in the garbage. It was like, we weren't checked out. We weren't checking out. It was the most bizarre. Wow.

I had to go down stairs in the major dumpster. And I swear in my life. Picking out. You basically challenged the dark side. Yes. Touch this thing. Yes. It freaked me out.

That freaked me out. Now, you know, my wife's hard Christian Bible, that direction. And she's like, no, don't give the devil the credit. That was God challenge. You going can you handle the challenge? Will you continue even if you get sidetracked and this is I said okay I like that angle Yeah, either way. It's crazy. Yeah, what is that? Yeah, what is that would that have happened if I did that and that's that's like manifesting energy or whatever? I don't know

That's weird. Yeah, I mean I make a point to never challenge anything. Well, I never did me like if I've done things like that too, we just like you know, I always think of you know you call this a the storm, you know, the moment in the movie in Forrest Gump or something, and the storm, and as it turns out, storms can actually get worse. I've recognized that can always get worse, try to just stay focused. Yeah, really quick. Yeah. Our marriages in sham, our marriage was in serious trouble after the second kid. Okay. And I come from a very loyal faith. We, I'm not a church guy.

Okay, couldn't tell you a lot about Bible. People get mad, or the Christians are like, oh, he's not a real. Yeah. I just being honest with you. Yeah. I had it out with God. I pulled over.

I said, God, please, you got to. You got to guide me. I don't know how to save this marriage. I don't know how to save this marriage. I don't know if I can, I don't know if I could be there. She didn't have faith. She didn't have anything. She's looking at shed issues.

It could have been postpartum. Who knows? Couple days later, I'd come home and my wife's, like, she's in the living room and she's like, long story short, she's like, ah, something crazy happened at the coffee shop today. And I want to start going to church and, what happened? and she told me this whole story where the woman behind the counter begged her to go to a house and she needed to do something

for her. Long story short, they took her there and they prayed for her and she became Christ driven. That was the beginning of our marriage being saved. Was I fully into what she was doing

or not doing her way of finding the faith? I felt I was already there, but the moral of the story was, and here's the crazy lead-up, too. When I first moved to this town, Chester, New Jersey, there was this girl behind the counter. Incredible-looking, young. I just moved a small town, left Hollywood, but everyone, I don't swagger around as like, hey, you know who I am?

You know what I was on? So I just have blue-collar mentality, and this girl, I could see her all like, Hey, I want to be an actress, and I'm going to move to Hollywood. And I could tell, just like most people in her predicament, she wasn't going to last two months out there. Right. They're going to get her, like, they just drop some names on you and voodoo, and she's off into the dark, dark world.

And I said, do you have lunch? And we had a very long, deep conversation. and she did not expect the things I just came off the SNL and the movies and da da da da da and time with Chappelle and we had I mean we went out at raw and she went from to oh wow okay

maybe I got to rethink this cut to I don't know maybe a year later and at that moment I knew like those are the moments where you go as a father as a father this young girl, what would you pray to God

another man would do if he saw your daughter in this position? And that's also something many of us don't do anymore. Yeah. As a man, as a man, as a father, how can I guide this young girl, or at least give her the tools to be prepared for the wolves that are. they're going to come after her.

Or you can go the route of like, oh, I can, you know, about a year later, I go into this little coffee shop and there's a beautiful one behind the counter, older, and she's talking about doing her eyes and talking her eyes. And I said, why would you do that? She said, excuse me?

I said, why did you get beautiful eyes? I go, my wife and I hope we age the way you look and your husband, and she went, oh, my God, I know who you are. And she came around the counter, And I thought she was going to go like, hey, man, do the goat. She goes, can I give you a hug? Oh, yeah, of course.

And she gave me this hug. And again, I'm thinking, oh, it's the guy that used to be. And she looked at me and she went, you're the one. You're the one to save my daughter. I went, what? She was my daughter worked at the camera store. And I went, oh, oh, my, that's your daughter. She went, you don't understand.

You don't understand. I prayed my whole life. my whole life for this girl to me so you don't understand what we've lived through and where she was going and where it and you had this conversation our whole life changed and she's doing it and I'm like wow I said what don't thank me I was yeah that's what I'm supposed to do and that's the woman that my wife ran into oh wow and so that those circles those spirituality of of goodness and and do doing the right thing and being in tune in the moment of what you're going to do, walk the walk, what you put out there will come back. It's a constant conscious, it's a constant thought process of the way I tackle things. I don't always pull them off, but I think that's... Well, it's obviously driving you.

It's obviously, and I feel the same thing. I would say I see the same cycles, the same beauty, the same miracles and people. And, you know, you said, you know, you became fearless during COVID. Yeah. And that was a God thing. Yeah, well, it's because it's the only way to actually be fearless. There was a moment. I was in my, I was in my basement. And I was on the phone with, I was on the phone with someone. And as I was talking to that person,

person, we were talking about COVID, like how to do it. And all of a sudden, as I was explaining to him, I'm like, oh, my God, every actor I ever wanted to work with growing up, I worked with. I just didn't visualize that's the way I would go. Everything I said I wanted to accomplish, I accomplished. Everything I asked for I got all the way down to my dad. You know, it's like, oh, I wanted to sing with my, I want to be a rocker and sing with all the famous people.

I sang with the singer of ACDC. I sang with the singers of Metallica. I sang with the singer of Judas Priest. I love the New York Mets. I'm hanging out with the New York Mets. I'm amongst those guys. I want to work with Tom Cruise and Robert De Niro one day. I'm doing sketches with them.

I want to jacking. I'm doing this. I want to be able to hold my dad to the very end. I want my dad in the event. And I felt at that moment, God was like, what else do you want? What else do you want? you got everything.

I can use some of your help when you got a chance. And it just was like, and then I started going in my yard making these videos during COVID. That wasn't like the stand-up act. It was more of, hey, the spirit inside us, trust your intuition. Yeah, I was like, he's not being so funny here.

Correct. And I was scared to do that. I was petrified. I'm terrified to do that. And I would put out there, you know, listen, you've got to start tapping into the deeper site. Turn off the monster machine. It's a monster machine. All screens, all print.

They're monster machines. None of it is uplifting. None of it is inspirational. None of it is spiritual. None of it is godlike. None of it is positive. It's a, it's a, it's a, um, it's a well-formed oil machine that knows how to produce. Uh, it knows how to sell.

And it knows how to monopolize hate, murder, killing, war, racism. You name the hate. They pump it out. And they make you point the fingers. But that was the thing that blew me away is when I was putting those videos out, how many people came out and said, can I tell you, I never knew who you were?

Your videos, they kept me sane. Those videos, and none of them were rehearsed. I would just, I would just wing it. I would feel, you know, and I would say like, listen, God, whether you believe or not. The power source is amazing. You don't need to, but it's the salespeople that turned you away.

It's all them that turned you away. The power source is pretty amazing if you tap into it. It's pretty awesome. And stop expecting so much. So there was, COVID was bad and good at the same time. And that's when I really became fearless, knowing. You have Spirit and God behind you, whatever you want to call it behind you to guide you So brilliant. I could talk to you all afternoon and there's so much that I resonate with

What you're saying I've said a lot of the same things to the audience you know here on the high wire People walk up and say thank you for your sacrifices like I wish you could trade places with me for a day and feel what it feels like To express what you said so many miracles so many things that I think of just come into my reality. And I give it to God. Like I, you know, I recognize that when I'm like, oh, look what I just did, all of a sudden it just disappears. Everything goes silent. There's nothing there.

I'm like in the dark. Wait, what just happened? Oh, wait a minute. Oh, that's right. That's right. I thought I was the one doing that. Correct. And it sort of puts you in check.

You're just the vessel. There's sort of wrap this all up, you know, light and darkness. Yeah. A connection that you're dancing with. and trying to express to people, do you have hope? Are you worried? Do you have hope? No, I'm not worried.

Okay. I have a lot of hope. Light always out shines the dark. Dark is going to fight ferociously because that's its nature. But the old saying, you can walk in a pitch black room, you just light a match, and half that room is lit up. One little match in front of all that darkness. So I think the dark warlords, which I'm sorry, that's what I call them, all of the mass media, all of it, print, Hollywood, all of it. This is what I say to.

Before COVID and before Trump was president, now many people questioned Hollywood or news. You trusted everything they said. Everyone trusted all pharmacies, all doctors, everything. That pendulum in just seven years being, those roots were so deep planted for so long. Education. All of it is now flopping. not just in America, across the whole world. Yeah.

Which is why you see you did the segment, the English, like, if we caught you saying, we're going to come to you. No, you're not, stupid. No, you're not stupid. Right. No, you're not. It's all, no one's taking it seriously anymore, and that they're losing, it's like they're trying to stomp out eight billion fires. Yeah, exactly. It's like, stop this, stop this podcaster.

Bing, another one pops up. Stop this program. Bing, another one. Ah! We're losing all control, sire. Send out monkey pox. Do something. Send out Kamala Harris.

Do something. Send the thunder. I have lots of hope. Good. And I truly believe, incredible things you're on the way. You have to.

You can't allow that other energy. Right. Then it won. Then it wins. Correct. You're in fear. It's all it needs. And when you're facing it, stand up to it. For crying out loud, stand up to it. Question it and stand up to it. Otherwise, get out of the way and let the fearless one stand up to it.

You're on tour? Yes. Podcasts, the Bruin. The Brew Universe podcast where I'm imagining you do some of this, you know, store. There it is. YouTube.com slash at Jim Brewer. And where's a good place to figure out where to see. Jimbrewer.com. Don't go.

If you're looking for tickets, so many people do this. Okay. Hey, you tickets are $400. Right. No, they're not. You're on a third site, you banana. Jimbrewer.com. We get the tickets there.

Yeah, and links are there. I'm not going to send you to a third party. Yeah. You're courageous. And the show's not like this, by the way. It's a totally different beast on stage. I don't look. I wanted to hit you with some swag.

What do you got? Because, you know, by the way, you ever get worried that your phone's being listened into, you know, when you're really like working on the work. So I got a fair day. Not worried. I know for a fact. You throw it in there and they can't, you know, track your phone. That silence is it.

They can't be on it. And here's a little high wire hat. I love it for you, brother. Thank you. You are absolutely fantastic. Appreciate it. Virtually driven. I love it.

Thank you. And I want to thank you for joining you today. I look forward to all the work and all the people you're going to meet out there. You're changing the world. It's really spectacular. And so are you.
