Vanity Fair magazine reported that the real reason Rupert Murdoch
fired Tucker Carlson was his outrage over Mr. Carlson's speech last week to the Heritage
Foundation, during which time he said America is facing an onslaught of evil and that people need to pray to God for help for this nation.
Here's a headline published in London today by The Telegraph.
Tucker Carlson reportedly taken off air by Rupert Murdoch for overtly religious remarks. Now this puts a whole new spin on the story,
doesn't it? Doc, we aired, I think, what, about six minutes of that speech last night? Yes.
On True News. And we said, could this be the reason that Tucker Carlson was suddenly fired?
Because everybody else was speculating
that it had to do with the lawsuit.
Others were speculating it had to do
with inner office competition or jealousy.
Perhaps the other lawsuit that's been filed
regarding miscegenation.
We proposed last night
that perhaps the real reason was the speech that Tucker Carlson gave last week at the anniversary dinner of the Heritage Foundation in Washington, where Mr. Carlson worked many years ago.
Because in that speech, he said, we can no longer explain away what's happening in this country by saying this was politics.
This isn't politics.
He goes, they're mutilating children.
That's not politics.
He talked about abortion as child sacrifice.
He said those words.
He said child sacrifice.
That's like true news.
He referred to the Aztecs.
We have an Aztec mentality now.
And then he said that he is now praying regularly for the country
and that he is encouraging other Americans to spend 10 minutes praying for the nation.
Now, are you telling me that a speech like that gets you kicked off the network
when you're the number one most watched host
on the network?
Now, we can say that out loud,
but when you see outlets like the London Telegraph
come out and say that.
And Vanity Fair, and they got it from Vanity Fair.
So let's go down the article from London Telegraph come out. And Vanity Fair. And they got it from Vanity Fair. So let's go down the article from the Telegraph
and see how they saw it today in London.
Right.
So the Telegraph reported that Tucker Carlson
was taken off the air by Rupert Murdoch
because of overtly religious remarks
he made during a recent speech.
That's according to Vanity Fair.
We'll have that article in just a moment.
Speculation was rife that the legal entanglements involving Carlson,
who is also named in a lawsuit from a former Fox producer, had brought about his demise.
However, according to a report by Vanity Fair, Carlson's remarks at a speech on Friday night rattled Mr. Murdoch.
Now, the media mogul was alarmed by the religious language and found it too extreme.
According to Vanity Fair,
Carlson opened his remarks at the Heritage Foundation's 50th anniversary gala
by encouraging everyone to include the country
in your prayers.
Pretty innocent remark there.
His assessment of the state of the U.S.
was laced with religious language,
framing America's partisan battles
as a division between good and evil.
In describing the debate over abortion
and transgender rights, he told the audience,
"'What you're watching is not a political movement.
"'It's evil.'"
Carlson added, "'I'm not calling for a religious war.
"'Far from it.
"'I'm merely calling for an acknowledgement
"'of what we're watching,
"'which means we're in a religious war.
He said that engaging in debate no longer works.
I've tried. That doesn't work, he said.
He went on to suggest that he had concluded that praying for the future could be more powerful,
saying maybe we should all just take 10 minutes a day to say a prayer about it.
I'm serious. Why not?
Now, according to one source close to Mr. Murdoch,
it was that language that drove his decision to remove Carlson. Look at this next statement, Doc. Right. That stuff freaks
Rupert out. He doesn't like all the spiritual talk, the source told Vanity Fair. All right, so Doc, Look, you and I have both been in ministry for decades.
When you encounter a person who acts irrationally, suddenly becomes irrational, does extreme actions because the name of Jesus Christ is mentioned or the Bible presented, or there's some reference to holiness,
to God, to righteousness. And suddenly an individual acts irrationally and takes extreme actions in response to the mention of God. As a minister, what does that indicate to you?
That he's probably under heavy demonic influence.
Yes.
And that the demons are responding in like manner to the name of Jesus Christ.
So Rupert Murdoch freaked out when he heard his employee, Tucker Carlson, say,
there's evil in America.
We need to pray.
He went berserk.
And Vanity Fair went a little bit deeper in the story because there's some backstory on this too as well.
This gets really strange.
So here's the original article where the Telegraph got it.
Tucker Carlson's prayer talk may have led to Fox News ouster.
That stuff freaks Rupert out.
Again, this is Vanity Fair. There's one paragraph in the article from Vanity Fair that we want you to hear because this is really strange.
So Rupert Murdoch was perhaps unnerved by Carlson's messianism because it echoed the
end times worldview of Murdoch's ex-fiancee and Leslie Smith, the source said. In the author's May cover
story, they reported that Murdoch and Smith called off their two-week engagement because Smith had
told people Carlson was a messenger from God. Now, Murdoch had seen Carlson and Smith discuss
religion firsthand. Now, in late March, so this wasn't that long ago, Rick. This was weeks ago.
So Carlson had dinner
at Murdoch's Bel Air Vineyard
with Murdoch and Smith,
according to the source.
Now, during that dinner,
Smith pulled out a Bible
and started reading passages
from the book of Exodus,
the source said.
Rupert just sat there
and stared, the source said.
Now, it was just a few days
after this particular dinner that Murdoch and Smith called the source said. Now, it was just a few days after this particular dinner
that Murdoch and Smith called off the wedding. All right, that's weird. I'll tell you,
first of all, what's weird is an old geezer like Rupert Murdoch, how old is he now? I don't know.
He's in his 90s? I don't know. He's old. And how old was
Miss Smith? I think she's in her 30s or 40s if I recall the article. Okay, so there's the first
weird thing, but he is a billionaire. Right. He canceled the wedding. He's a 90-something-year-old man engaged to a woman 50, 60 years younger than him.
And he calls off the wedding because she read from the Bible?
That's weird, Doc.
Yes.
It's very, very unusual unusual it's really weird i mean rupert think about it there was a woman 55 60 years younger than you willing to get married to you
you know and and you canceled the wedding because she read from the word of God.
It tells me a lot about Rupert Murdoch and the Murdoch family.
And you know what my feeling is to Fox News?
Good riddance.
Good riddance to Fox News. I hope there is a mass exodus of Christians and patriots and conservatives from Fox News.
I can't imagine why anybody would watch them now.
They've shown you what they are.
Their mask is off.
We've called them faux news for a long time.
Right, F-A-U-X, faux news.
So we now know what they are.
But what we didn't know is that Rupert Murdoch has,
he's a Christian phobe.
He's a God phobe.
Yes.
He has a phobia of the Word of God.
He has a phobia of the word of God. He has a phobia of the Holy Bible.
Now we see into the soul, the spirit
of Rupert Murdoch, the tycoon that runs Fox News,
New Corp, owns the Wall Street Journal, the Times of London,
and newspapers all over Australia and so forth.
We see that he has a fear
that somebody will talk in his presence about God.
I feel sorry for the man at that age.
He's lost.
He's lost.
He's spiritually lost.
I feel sorry for him.
But in terms of his business, I'm done.
Okay. I have completely divorced myself from all Fox News. I mean, I started unsubscribing from
email messages I get from Fox News, from news notifications. I just unsubscribed. If you're a subscriber to Fox Nation, you should cancel.
Take a walk. It's time that the Christians, the patriots, the conservatives of this country,
it's time we start acting like leaders. Instead of letting these people walk over us, it's just time. Cut them off.
Look what's happened to Budweiser. They got rid of the woman that came up with that stupid
transvestite media campaign. She's gone. Well, she's on leave of absence, but her career's done at Budweiser. Budweiser sales are down nearly 18%
and getting worse every week.
Finally, there's a reaction.
There's a reaction.
It took Kid Rock,
not a preacher,
not a politician, not a military leader.
It took Kid Rock to get the American people upset about Budweiser.
And people need to be upset about Fox News.
And I'm even more upset today than I was yesterday.
I was upset yesterday, what they did to Tucker Carlson,
but now I'm more upset.
And the Vanity Fair article goes on to say
Tucker was informed Monday morning.
So, I mean, it wasn't like Saturday or Sunday
over the weekend, but as he was starting his news day,
like we start our news day every day,
the CEO of Fox, Suzanne Scott,
called him up and said,
it's over, we're parting ways.
But he was close enough to the Murdochs,
he had dinner with them.
Right, two weeks ago,
or three or four weeks ago.
And so they dumped him because he mentioned God.
Should I tell the story, the one I told you today?
Sure.
All right.
It's a great one.
This is a true story.
Many, many, many years ago, back when I lived in Maryland where I was born and raised, I was a manager of a radio station. And the owner,
he's passed away. I don't know if there's any reason to say his name.
He was a well-known broadcaster in the area. He owned another station. He owned an FM station.
This particular station I'm talking about was an AM station.
He called me. I had known him for years. He called me and said, Rick, I bought the station
and I want you to manage it. And I actually turned him down. And I turned him down several times
because I had other plans. But he kept calling me and he said, would you just
think about this? And so we finally met and I took the job and I said, I will only accept the job
if I can have complete managerial control of the station and I change the format and I make it what
I want it to be. He goes, you've got it. Okay. It's going to be
Christian music. Now there was no Christian music. This was decades ago, many, many decades ago.
There was no Christian music in the area. And so I converted the station to all Christian music.
That didn't bother him, Doc. That didn't bother him. He was okay with it. He just wanted money.
He didn't care.
He just wanted money.
So I thought, okay, I'm managing a Christian radio station.
And every day I'm going to work and I'm excited and happy.
And one day, because I'm the general manager, I could walk into the studio and interrupt the morning show if I wanted to,
which is what I would do often, but where the DJ would say, hey, the general manager just walked in. What's going on, Rick? And I'd talk about something in the community. That particular day, I read from Ezekiel and I read about the dry bones.
Where I lived in Western Maryland, it was a valley, Cumberland Valley.
I said, the churches in this valley are spiritually dry bones.
They've been here for hundreds of years.
They've dried up.
There's no life to them.
And I am speaking under the anointing of the Holy Spirit
and I'm asking the Lord to breathe a fresh wind
across this valley and revive these dry bones
that these churches would come alive and worship God.
Does that sound okay on a Christian station?
Well, it used to sound okay.
I don't know if you can get away with it today or not.
Well, I couldn't get away with it back then.
Oh, really?
And I didn't know I did anything wrong.
I mean, the whole thing probably lasted less than five minutes,
you know, around 8 o'clock in the morning.
The next morning, I drove to work,
and when I went to put the key in the front door,
because back then they didn't have any electronic locks,
you know, stuff like that.
When I went to put a key in the front door,
I realized there's a key in the front door.
I realized there's a padlock on the door.
You know, I'm pulling the door.
I said, why is there a padlock on this building?
And then I peered through the glass.
And Doc, I still remember this,
just a surreal moment as I just stood there staring inside that radio station.
He was like, this is not really happening.
This is strange.
I don't know whether he used an ax or a baseball bat.
I don't know what he used.
He busted up everything in his station. I went around the building and looked in any window that was open. He busted up everything, the equipment, the
furniture, the desks. He upset the desks. I mean, he went berserk inside his own radio station.
He didn't have cell phones back then.
I had to go to a pay phone.
I couldn't even get inside to call him.
I had to go to a pay phone and call him.
And he said, you're fired and the station is closed.
What did I do?
You will never go on one of my radio stations again and read the Bible like you did yesterday
and pray like that.
That'll never happen again.
I said, this is why you did this?
You busted up your own station?
Oh, he hung up on me.
About a week or two later,
he brought cranes in on the property.
The station had three 100-foot-tall AM towers.
100-foot-tall towers, three of them.
The station was sitting on about five acres.
Right.
He brought in construction cranes and pulled down the towers. Now, Doc, you know once the towers
are down, it's over. Nobody is going to buy the station. I mean, the cost is so much. You're not
going to do it. I called the FCC in Washington to see if I could stop it. And I remember the woman at the FCC, she said,
Mr. Wiles, the owner of the station has filed all the proper permits to shut down his station.
We have no authority to stop him. It's his station. If he wants to demolish it,
it's his right and he's doing it legally.
And he did.
He demolished his radio station because I prayed on the radio station. On a Christian station.
He quoted the Bible.
He quoted the Bible and prophesied to the dead churches to come alive.
The devils rose up inside of him. And everybody in that community thought he
was a wonderful Christian businessman. Oh, he was known in full gospel businessman. He was known in
all the circles in that area. He was the outstanding Christian businessman. No, he was full of devils.
He was full of devils. Because only a devil would react.
Yes.
So with Rupert Murdoch, if this is true that he reacted this way,
then he has the presence of demonic spirits operating in his life.
Because a normal person would not do something like that.
Fire the most popular person on news television in America
over a prayer?
Really bizarre.
It's really bizarre.
Tonight, we're going to keep True News to just 30 minutes
because there's a very strong line of thunderstorms
going through the area with large size hail and strong winds. And I want to
get my production crew out of the studio and get them home for their own safety and safety of their
property and so forth. So I want to take a look at another one too. This is a story that just happened here.
So if Rupert Murdoch doesn't think that evil is in the land,
that transvestites cutting off the genitals of children isn't evil,
if aborting millions of babies, if that's not evil,
I don't know what Rupert Murdoch's definition of evil is,
but Tucker Carlson has enough Holy Spirit in him
to know something evil is taking place in this country,
and politics can't fix it.
I want to show you what happened here in Florida this week.
This is from WTHR 13 Indianapolis.
Former Indiana resident arrested in Florida,
Uber Eats driver killing, dismemberment.
This MS-13 guy killed an Uber Eats driver,
cut him up, and ate him.
Now, you know, I can't do a crime report
because this is beyond crime.
This is demonic.
This is demonic.
And Rupert Murdoch,
this is what we're talking about.
Devils, demon-possessed people eating humans.
And even local authorities have said,
this is so gruesome.
The only conclusion is it's demonic.
So, and this is the quote from the sheriff.
He said, this was a horrific crime of passion.
NACO told reporters this was demonic.
What he did was demonic.
A man is charged with murder and other offenses
in the slaying and dismemberment
of a Florida Uber Eats driver
who had brought food to the assailant's house.
And Oscar Solis is charged with killing the driver
during a delivery Wednesday, April 19th
at a home in Holiday, Florida.
Pasco County Sheriff Chris Naco said at a news conference
the remains were found at the house in trash bags
and a cooler, which also
contained a receipt with Solis' name
on it. That's according to a
police affidavit.
You know, Rick,
to be able to dismember
anything,
we grew up on the farm
and everything. We knew how difficult that was.
But another human being.
And then they eat it.
They eat a human who was breathing just a few minutes ago
and you murdered a person, cut him apart, gutted him,
and then began eating his flesh.
Rupert Murdoch, that's evil.
That's wickedness.
That is demonic.
It's the presence of Satan.
I believe Satan has been released from the abyss
and is now deceiving the nations.
And Rupert Murdoch is deceived.
And any Christian who continues to watch Fox News
is deceived.
They only want Christians,
they want to fool the Christians to get you to watch
their network so that they can sell advertising and get you to pay $7 a month for Fox Nation.
They're just using the Christians. They put enough Christianese out there. They talk around the edges.
Right.
Just enough to make Christians think,
oh, there's Fox News.
They must be Christians.
Now, Rupert Murdoch freaks out if you read the Bible.
Yeah, they've got Bible studies on Fox Nation.
They've got Robert Jeffress on there
with his daily program on Fox Nation.
Because the Christians are giving them $7.
Right.
That's what it's all about.
I want to show you another story.
This is from Rebel News in Canada.
Calgary pastor's vehicle damaged overnight with hateful words and imagery.
This is the young pastor who has been confronting the transvestites holding these events for children.
And he's been locked up in jail and is facing years in prison
simply for quoting the Bible.
That's right.
Making transvestites feel uncomfortable
because he quotes the Bible in public.
So you have that demonic response once again.
Demons do these kinds of things.
Go ahead. I'm sorry.
I was just saying the Rebel News reported that Calvary's Mission 7 Ministries pastor, Derek Reimer,
he's still sitting behind bars for protesting against Drag Queen Story Hour,
but his van, which is sitting outside of his house, got vandalized on Tuesday.
The side doors of the vehicle in red spray paint read,
Jesus is a foul word.
And on the front windshield,
there was an upside down cross.
Now the upside down cross is known to be
an anti-Christian and a satanic symbol.
So is this a hate crime?
It should be.
Are they going to go after the...
But it's okay to hate Christians, Rick.
Are they going to go after the Satanists
who did this to his vehicle?
No, of course not.
Where we're at right now
in this country
and in Canada
and in Great Britain
and Australia
is that if you say God
and Jesus Christ
and quote the scriptures publicly,
you may be fired. Your career may be
destroyed. You may be arrested and imprisoned. That's a reality, Doc. It's actually happening
in the United States of America, in Great Britain, in Australia, and Canada. Christians are being persecuted for saying the name of Jesus Christ publicly.
Right.
Or for standing up for biblical values.
And opposing wickedness, opposing evil.
Now, you could be on Fox News and endorse cutting off the genitals of children.
They're not going to fire you for that.
Just think about it.
And you can be a man in a dress and be on Fox News.
And they pay him to do that.
And so, too, with Donald Trump, you've got to face the facts that Donald Trump is a major proponent of the gay movement.
And he bragged the other day that in his, remember the beauty contest that he owned?
Right.
That he years ago brought a transvestite into the contest.
He did?
Yes.
I don't think anybody knew about it,
but he bragged about it the other day.
This is Donald Trump.
And a lot of you are trying,
you're putting on your blinders and you're saying,
okay, it doesn't matter.
I'm going to vote for him anyhow.
Well, then you're endorsing the same wickedness
that's destroying the country.
What are we supposed to do?
Call out to Jesus.
When will the church call on the name of Jesus?
The politicians are not going to save us.
They helped get us in this mess. Why are we still following them? Why are we
still putting our hope in them? Our only hope is Jesus Christ. He is our only hope. And we need,
we need him desperately. We need the Lord to move. His Holy Spirit needs to sweep across this country.
He's desiring to do it. He's waiting to do it. What's holding him back? The lack of desire for
him. Do you want to go to anybody who doesn't desire you? Are you going to impose yourself on others who really don't want you? Of course not.
The Lord is waiting on the American people to call his name and say, help us, save us from
ourselves. That's what we need right now. We need to be saved from ourselves as a nation.
We're destroying ourselves as a nation. God, save us from ourselves. Help us,
save us. Come quickly, Lord Jesus, and save this country before we destroy ourselves. That's my
