on your hair? i've been looking for it but i can't find anybody to underwrite it. mary ellen, jesse, you have the best come on, man. now do it whisper asmr style. [whispering] come on, man. [normal volume] how is that? i am watters, this is my world. >> tucker: good evening and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." when the apollo 11 national's return from the first moon landing in the summer of 1969, america rejoiced. ticker tape parade across the country and then around the world. by the end of it, the astronauts visited two dozen countries and waved to millions of adoring

fans. queen elizabeth, the pope. back home, not everyone was -- in new york city, that man was a jazz vision called gil scott heron. in response to this, gil scott heron released a spoken word piece entitled "whitey on the moon." here's a selection. >> ♪♪ i can't pay no doctor bills ♪ ♪ whitey on the moon ♪ ♪ ten years now i'll be paying soon ♪ ♪ with whitey's on the moon ♪ ♪ taking my whole dang check ♪ ♪ price of food is going up ♪ ♪ and if all that wasn't enough ♪ ♪ with whitey on the moon ♪♪ >> taxes taking my whole dang check. a rat bit my sister. whitey on the moon. gil scott heron wrote that more than 50 years ago and actually if you think about it, not a lot has changed. at least in the positive

direction. the price of food is rising, junkies are everywhere pay the cities are still a mess. joe biden has been president of the united states for more than a year and he hasn't fixed any of that. he hasn't really try to fix it. it has all gotten worse. measurably worse. but biden does plan to make one improvement, however. there'll be no more whiteys on the moon. biden is going to diversify space travel. seven and half billion dollars to "land the first woman and person of color on the moon." gil scott-heron is gone now but imagine if you live to see this moment. you can imagine the tears of joy and gratitude. after 50 years, whitey has been vanquished from the moon. we are free, finally free. in a sense, anyway. doesn't mean the cities are any better. if you live in baltimore for example, there is a pretty good chance your sister could be bitten by a rat. could deftly be killed in a drive-by shooting for baltimore

has been more dangerous than it ever has been for the city's murder rate is higher than el salvador. baltimore is over 50% black. almost every murder victim in the city is also black. you would think that would count as some kind of civil rights violation, all those death dell make that people, those grieving black american families. but joe biden never mentions baltimore. may be he doesn't know about baltimore. it's all over the news. a watch. >> seven shootings in less than four hours friday. back in the neighborhood, residents are feeling uneasy about an area they always thought was safe. >> as crime continues to surge in baltimore, city police are trying to tackle price is also facing one of their own as their ranks seemed to dwindle by the day. one of those open air deals happening in broad daylight. >> this year, 311 has gotten a

call about every 10 minutes for dirty alleys and dirty streets and illegal dumping. >> there were 341 homicides and 738 shootings in the city last year. >> tucker: do you see those numbers? 738 shootings in the city of baltimore. 341 murders just last year. you think someone would care about that. that's far more people than died in the tolls are race riots. the tuskegee air experiments, and bloody sunday in alabama combined. it didn't just happen once, it happens every year. there has been no message, no troops deployed, justice department investigation pair there has been a real knowledge maned it is happening. that, ladies and gentlemen, is the equity agenda distilled. 341 murders mean nothing to the theoretical promise of a black lady on the moon.

you are finally free! to stop complaining. ignore your unraveling life. we've got a symbolic victory for you. you can eat it, won't keep you safe from gun fire, but you are going to love it. if you are still not satisfied with your life in baltimore, here's another. according to the white house today, this is transgender appreciation day and joe biden has informed us will be allowed to celebrate something called "trans-senior citizens." it's like christmas but better than christmas you don't have to buy presents what you haven't noticed got much more expensive recently. this is the cheapest best holiday ever. all we have to do is bade in the reflective authority to tell the of transgender rights. >> anti-transgender law attacking you and your families is simply wrong. this administration is standing up for you against all these hateful bills. we are committed to change in the quality in the classroom, playing field, work, military,

health and health care systems, everywhere. simply everywhere. we announce more steps but there's always more work to do to end the epidemic of violence against transgender women of color, parents of transgender children, affirming your child eponymous identity is one of the most powerful thing you can do to keep them safe and healthy. >> tucker: is a bit is duration >> tucker: this administration is standing up for you. in this case, it's a caveat. you means trans seniors. wait a second, you may wonder, to celebrate the joy of transgender is him on transgender david how many trans seniors are there? no offense, but the trans thing seems pretty new. how come no one has ever heard of it say four years ago. it is securing trans right really the biggest problem that

all people in america now face? don't ask because asking is violence and if there's one thing that trans people don't want, it's violins. as joe biden told us, there is "an epidemic of violence against transgender women of color in america." there is question mike we didn't do that. we keep track. we never heard that. we noticed an epidemic of murder in baltimore. hundreds of people died. we checked and there they are. according to the activist group human rights campaign which probably isn't skimping on the number, in 2018 there were a total of 26 transgender americans of all colors who were killed. around the same time, the williams institute estimated there was a total about 1.4 million americans who identified as transgender. so you put those numbers american in a simple equation and you find that the murder rate for transgendered people that year was 1.8 per 100,000.

okay. by contrast, the murder rate for the entire american population that year was 4.9 murders per 100,000. so actually, contract joe biden, you are a lot better off being trans than being not. being trans was definitely a lot safer than bill living in baltimore. you might not have known that, joe biden didn't mention it today. in fact, the people of baltimore don't have a place in the equity agenda. that's why you don't see them on msnbc. they don't teach you at princeton. not technically oppressed. not like doctors, at the wake forest school of medicine. they are oppressed. this week, and impressed student dr. called tweeted about stabbing apatien. "i had a patient doing a blood draw and laughed loudly to the staff. i missed his name so

i missed his veins so he had to get stuck twice. future doctor, this one called yulin lu called it karma. you have to go doctors in training boasting about hurting a patient because he mocked trans rights or something like that, there pronouns. we wanted to know what wake forest medical school had to say about this so we reached out to them, we have done it all week. we'd love to know who got stabbed, what's the name of the victim. also want to know if these two students are going to be expelled or will they be treated with a free clinic seven question mike doctors are not supposed to be assaulting their patients under any circumstances particularly over a medical disagreement. the dean's office is not answering our calls. after two days of hounding the medical school's publicist told us that one of the students is taking a leave of absence but also "all of our procedures were cared down my followed while

caring for this patient." >> she made fun of the pronoun so she stabbed him! in other words, wait for his medical school doesn't care that doctors are boasting about stabbing applicable opponents. obviously this will not be a big story. it'll be the last time you hear of it. it'll blow over. it's not out of the ordinary. most medical schools, wake forest is based on criteria. they trained their doctors to be political dissent as violins. respect my pronouns are i will stab you. these medical schools are covering for a position to commit malpractice of violence in the name of equity. instead of doing anything about it and protecting the patients, leaders are finding new ways to deserve your punishment, at that end the biden the administration decided a new antilynching bill. what century is this? will it help the people of

baltimore? probably not. that's not the point. joe biden and kamala harris explain. >> racial hate isn't an old problem. it is a persistent problem. a persistent problem. and i know many of the civil rights leaders no, you've heard me say 100 times, hate never goes away. >> today we are gathered to do unfinished business. to acknowledge the horror in this part of our history. to state unequivocally that lynching is, and has always been a hate crime. and to make clear that the federal government may now prosecute these crimes as such. lynching is not a relic of the past. >> tucker: "lynching is wrong!" really? i had no idea. a lot of lynching going on in the united states?

probably fewer than there are drive-by shootings in baltimore, detroit, gary, indiana, or the city you are in. definitely more drug abuse going on. we play tape like this all the time and if you are a normal person, stories like this begin to feel overwhelming. there are so many of them. it seems like this ongoing revolution will never end. take three steps back. what you don't see because we are in the middle of it is that this equity revolution is already over. this is not an ascendant movement. this is the self product stage of american neoliberalism. it helps nobody. it's ridiculous. it's disconnected from reality. too disconnected to continue. close the schools, castrate your children, embrace nonviolent liberation? these aren't policies that help a single person. they are not designed to do. they have another goal. this is a religious movement paid what you are watching is a cult in decline.

this is jonestown. either way, it is ending. joe biden is the last neoliberal president in history. nobody wants this stuff anymore. it is done. victor davis hanson is the senior fellow at the hoover institute and he joins us tonight to celebrate. thanks so much for coming on. these things reach a certain point where there is no point to them, not a single person has helped politics in the end. went out of his way to help people, these people help nobody. i do not think this can continue. can you? >> i don't. joe biden is really -- you can say to hunter, please, symbolically never use the n-word again. he's like, okay, don't call a senior aide "boy" or called an african-americans on the list african-american journalist a "junkie."

they can't solve them because they are in ideological straitjackets. they look to the trivial. if you want to talk about race, we have a national tragedy. 7,000 african-americans murdered by african-americans. 75% illiteracy rate in the black community. he doesn't have an answer to that because some of the policies that he embraces help because of that. and so they go over and talk about a moon landing 50 years ago when the country was 88% white, why were there not more blacks there? another thing they do, they don't want to talk about class. class is a new barometer of oppression and inequality. whether you are an african-american tire changer in bakersfield or you are a white label worker in dayton, or you way our harsh painter in fresno, you're not making it in this inflationary high fuel economy. you cannot

you don't care what michellesayr third mansion in her hawaii, or what lebron says in delma from his billion dollar contract. will smith slapping chris rock, he goes to a mansion in calabasas. irrelevant. absolutely right, they do not have a coping crisis or a transgender epidemic of hate or nuclear war on the paint in normal times people come out they look at this agenda and they say this is contrary to human nature. this is madness and we want no part of it. they created they created a locomotor of angry people and it's coming out with the tracks on november and they are tied on the tracks with ideological rope and they can't get out and there's no way they can get out and we are going to see one of the biggest resets i think we've

seen from the 1930s when they lost over we shouldn't let it go to waste, that's what rahm emanuel well, gavin newsom, they don't know any idea what the real crisis is coming because they created it and they are going to suffer a politically in the way they cannot imagine. >> tucker: you're exactly right and that's the good news and keep this in mind because this stuff gets overwhelming after a wild but it's almost over, i believe that. victory victor davis hansen, thank you. we are watching cnn again and they are covering hunter biden's laptop after two years when the story first broke. joy reid about her blog, she thought she was wrong. she denied it. now we think we know who did it. evidence vladimir putin has had to joy reid's blog just ahead.

during the last election, "the new york post" had a story about hunter biden's laptop. a huge story which big tech censored and the media. intel officials told us that the laptop was russian disinformation. >> there are fears what giuliani is pushing in the united states could be part of russia's latest and very massive disinformation campaign in the u.s. presidential election. >> you have a president asking to obtain russian disinformation knowing that is what it is. accepting the same information and has been turning it in using it on the campaign trail against his opponent. that is mind-blowing. >> it's a crazy quilt at this point which has all the hallmarks of russian disinformation. >> cnn reported on friday seeing if those emails as talked about are connected to an ongoing russian disinformation effort. >> tucker: it turns out that

when you accuse people of russian disinformation, you are never sincere. they are telling you something different there they are telling you in fact that the laptop is real. here is cnn yesterday. >> this is very bad for the president's son. >> going back to 2018 right now prosecutors in delaware are focusing on a number of things whether hunter biden and some of his business associates violated laws, including attacks, money laundering, former lobbying laws. >> they need to make a decision, at least in the intermediate future. this has been going on for four years and there is a realistic chance this could result in federal charges. then we'd be in unprecedented territory but legal territory for a chance to have the justice department prosecuting and

imprison the son of the president. >> tucker: what a freak show that channel is. now they are telling you that it's all true, actually. that's not the only story about russian disinformation that has fallen apart. the federal election commission found that the nc of more than $100,000 predetermine the clinton campaign tried to hide its role in determining the steele dossier. among many other things, that putin got trump elected. looks like the disinformation was in fact paid for or the campaign. tess patel is a former national security advisor and on the house until community. comes to sort out what the second part of this story means. thank you for coming on tonight. how should we understand this fine on hello clinton campaign? >> that hillary clinton campaign

broke federal law. that's why they levied this fine. we had to get a subpoena from congress to get the bank records to show that the hillary clinton campaign paid for the steele dossier. three years later, the sec woke up and said, yes, that's illegal and we need to find them. had any other campaign done that, we had to in the tune of broke federal law by taking political contributions and paying a foreign asset to gin up a dirty russian information, they funneled it into the fbi to falsely serve ale. >> the whole thing was a scam. it was illegal. they have been fined for it. it wouldn't have worked unless the entire washington press corps and bedded it went along with it. when it was just another set of campaign laws. has anybody apologized for the roles? >> [laughs] i do not think those 51 intel

analysts who called hunter biden's laptop disinformation doubled down and said they were glad to give the warning even though they have been proven wrong. hillary clinton, fusion gps, they have not apologize even though lawyers for the campaign have been indicted by special counsel john durham. federal indictments, federal finds showing a corruption and breaking of the federal law is not enough for the mainstream media to come around and say not only do they get it wrong, they got it so wrong that they need to be calling out the hillary clinton campaign and now probably joe biden, or on hunter, these people have been corrupting the media for decades and they are supposed to be the dynastic bastions of the democratic party and they have failed upholding principles of the law that you and i have supported so long. >> tucker: they supported us from having free and fair elections by suppressing information that voters need to know. those 51 former intel officials all have their security

clearances. why do they still have their security clearances question what they don't work for the government anymore. they work for msnbc. >> that's a great point. it's not a law that they have, they should be revoked immediately because they were spreading and a former cabinet secretaries lied about political operatives that they favored, one over the other, and they got a presidential candidate joe biden to come out during an election and say, look, three cia directors, director of the nsa and secretary of defense said that my sons laptop is russian disinformation. so much of the american public believes that and they are all lying and they knew it because they didn't have access to the intel then and they don't have it now. >> what happened to all the civil libertarians on the left? it's down to matt taibbi and glenn greenwald and that's it. i've never seen a category vanish more quickly. i appreciate you coming on

tonight. >> thanks so much, tucker. >> tucker: that follows a pretty familiar trajectory. they lie to you and years later, that was a lie. so with that in mind, whatever happened to joy reid's gay bashing scandal? she a few years ago appears to have written a blog attacking gay people, putting them in danger, and then she said she never wrote it. somebody hacked her blog, she called law enforcement, we never heard the and make of that. the vladimir putin pack joy reid's gay bashing blog? thank you for coming on. i hope you feel safe in a country where joy reid is on the loose. what do you think happened with joy reads a downlink gay bashing blog that put 30 million gay people in danger? what is the truth, you think? >> it's an interesting story,

she'd be on board with this florida bill 100%. she wrote in that blog about gays recruiting children for the florida law isn't about that. it's a reminder for teachers to stick to age-appropriate content for students. but the person who wrote this blog, we don't know who it is, was vehemently homophobic, obsessed with gay people, obsessed with outing gay. there are gays in the cabinet, she claims that was hacked. the investigation happened, had a hired gun and claimed that yes, it was hacked. the employer, the far left "daily beast" did their own investigation and said, no, it was not hacked. coming from them. that's very interesting indeed. then the fbi got involved and we still haven't heard what came of that. we do however have a name for when someone fakes a crime, gets

law enforcement involved, and waste money, government resources. it's called pulling a smolette. if there's one thing that'll hurt joy reid, it be comparing her to jussie smollett. >> tucker: we've got a murder epidemic, a war brewing in eastern europe. now is not the time to tie up fbi resources with your fake hate crime claims. why hasn't joy reid been charged for lying about this hacking of her blog? >> isn't that fascinating? makes you wonder if you went to the officers and went, look, i wrote it. i had to do this with a camera. maybe she pulled some kind of deal or maybe she has a liberal media privilege but what would it look like if msnbc which, you know, carries water for the democrat party, and one of their top posts was arrested for pulling a smolette.

she made a big deal that she was going to get to the bottom of this and it appears it was either joy reid who wrote these very homophobic blog posts or vladimir putin. >> tucker: stay safe tonight. chadwick moore -- >> don't know if i can, but thank you. >> tucker: lying to an fbi agent is a felony. be interesting to know if she did that. great to see you. chadwick moore. >> thank you. >> tucker: the nfl is now requiring every team to hire coaches based on color. the oscar announced movies to disqualify from an award if they do not have enough people in a certain category. where is this taking us? is this the country you want to live in? or is this the road to rwanda? adam corolla joins is next.

all of this is humanitarian aid that the fellowship is sending from israel directly into ukraine. food, medicine, warm clothing is needed now!

lives abruptly changed... look at all of these people and there are hundreds and thousands more. we're called to step into this crisis... this inhumanity. the international fellowship of christians and jews needs your $45 gift now to help rush food, blankets and shelter to jewish refugees fleeing for lives in ukraine. please give as generously as you can, to help the refugees while there is still time. this is one plane, praise god! but we need 5 planes. we need 10 planes. we need 100 planes! you can give $45 now to help provide the food, and blankets that they so urgently need!

open. millions of foreign nationals crossing every year but it could get much worse things to the decision from the biden administration. at the border at eagle pass, texas. hey come up bill. >> good evening to you. dhs projecting if the biden administration decides to drop a title 42, we could be seen upwards to 18,000 illegal border crossings every single day. just to put that in perspective for you, right now we are at about 7,000 a day. you can understand how chaotic that would be. it's already bad down here. take a look at this video we just got from texas dps, remarkable video showing a massive group of more than 100 illegal immigrants crossing the rio grande and entering into texas illegally. right here in eagle pass, one of the epicenters of the border crisis. they are using a rope or line in the water to get across but take a listen of how the helicopter pilot was reacting when he saw this group.

>> we've got a large group of 60-75 that just crossed. you might be in upwards of 35-100, hard to get a count. there is a lot. >> if you look at more of this video right here you'll see how big that groupwise and eventually it became more than 100 in total. a few border agents responded but they were severely outnumbered. they are encountering upwards to 1500 illegal immigrants every single day. one last piece of video to show you. pretty wild if we can pull this off. this is texas dps body cam video of a human smuggler pursuit track where the car burst into flames where they realize there is a woman being smuggled in the back of that burning car. she is zipped up in a black duffel bag so they break into the car, pulled a bag out. they unzipped it and to their

shock, yes, there was a woman being smoke in the that bag. they saved are being burned alive moments away. thankfully those troopers and those border agents where they are back out here live, tucker, the u.s. border patrol chief said the last month alone we've already hit 1 million illegal crossings. just to put that in perspective, those numbers put as well on track to shatter every board and crossing records and records were first kept more than 60 years ago. the kicker is the busiest months down at the border haven't even arrived yet. we'll send it back to you. >> tucker: thanks so much. i wonder why this country is getting so volatile, the population is surging too fast. the nfl decreed ahead of the 2022 season all leagues must hire an offensive coach who is "female or member of a racial or ethnic minority." the nfl did not define female or racial minorities since the player down the majority of players in the nfl are black.

there is only one player one to the oscarssay it'll disqm that does not have enough black, gay, or disabled workers. adam corolla is a comedian and author and lifelong residents were a lot of these decisions were made. you can't come down to l.a. -- what are we looking at here? >> well, it's a constant obsession in 2022 of a problem that has essentially been solved years ago. and it's hurting the country. obviously they keep talking about this thing. it's like when "jaws" came out, nobody wanted to go in the ocean because they thought they were going to suffer, the statistically it doesn't exist. that's what we do with racism.

we keep beating and beating and beating the drum and we use to, it brings us the best and the brightest and that brings us the least whitest. >> tucker: it seems like the nfl would be one of the last places you bring this up since it's over six to 5% black. i don't know if anybody has a problem with that. >> it's why people love sports. my rams won the super bowl 10 out of 11 guys on the defensive side of the ball were black and i assume that's because they are the best players that the rams could put on the field. that's the way i like it and i cheer as hard for every body because i'm cheering for the rams like i'm cheering for this country. >> tucker: a weird industry to introduce quotas like this. >> is also super unfair to the people because whether it's a student on the campus of harvard or the first bi, gay, lesbian,

black assistant female coach come everybody is looking at her, she may be incredibly qualified but people will think she's only there because of this quota system. >> tucker: my theory in recent weeks is this is too nuts, too if you people are benefiting from it, when does this revolution burn itself out? >> i think we are hitting some sort of saturation, critical mass. i see that every four months and they go crazy here. it's also really insidious. you know when the politicians get up there and go, we need a fire captain that represents the community that he or she -- no, you don't! you need a good fire captain. it's racist to think that he would only help people who look like him. when they get up there and they do that "scared of people who look different than you," that's insidious. you couldn't get along in his country if that was your mind-set. >> tucker: do you know anyone

who feels that way? >> bill melugin is the only guy in town. >> tucker: what a good guy, bill melugin! >> but he's got the best hair on tv so i've got to bring him down a peg. >> tucker: the narcissism is entirely real. adam corolla, great to see you. still in california. if you ever leave, we'll do an hour-long special on your departure. behind the scenes, the disney corporation like many on the left aggressively sexualize children with the company's entertainment. what do the company's employees think about this? not all of them are for it, that's for sure. to their credit, one disney employee speaking out loudly. we'll speak to them next.

one of my favorite supplements is qunol turmeric. turmeric helps with healthy joints and inflammation support. unlike regular turmeric supplements qunol's superior absorption helps me get the full benefits of turmeric. the brand i trust is qunol. men, you need to get off the couch and get with the program. with golo, i lost 50 pounds. it feels really good to be able to button your jacket and not worry about it blowing up. -(laughs) -go to golo.com to lose weight and get healthier.

centuries ago, native californians thrived on this land. now, we share a destiny with all californians. when voters granted our sovereign nations exclusive gaming rights, it advanced self-sufficiency and created thousands of good jobs. but now, out of state corporations are coming to california. their online sports betting initiative would break the promise between us. it's bad for tribes and all californians. join us. protect the promise.

>> tucker: the state of florida banned teachers from talking to kindergartners about there. talking to parents about children about they are so upset they decided to ban the word boy and girl

from theme parks. those executives do not speak for all disney employees, we are happy to tell you. a current employee at disney running for congress in florida's 9th congressional district. we are happy to joins us tonight. thank you so much for coming on. so you work at disney now. you're brave to do the show, i must say. what do you have to say about disney's support for talking to kids about their genitals? >> i tell you this, first but i don't speak for the walt disney company but it's evident that the walt disney company doesn't speak for me. that's not the majority of disney cast members. we are looking for someone like governor desantis in tallahassee speaking out for us. to go speak for the silent majority. my phone's been off the hook that i've been getting emails, messages on social media from disney cast members from all walks of life telling me, thank you for standing up it we feel like we don't have a voice,

and we are glad that you are doing this. so thank you, tucker, for the opportunity. >> tucker: people trust disney with their children but a lot of people who work for disney are good people. so to sexualize children are a betrayal of the trust that people have been disney and it's scary. how do you feel about how voters feel about this? >> i think there's a huge misconception everybody here in central florida and disney are ranging liberals. we are a silent majority. a small minority that's very vocal. they are saying this week and will gets the grease, that's what's happening. they are capitalist, they are listening but they listen to more people who are vocal. we need to stand up and that's why i hope to do in washington to stand up for the people for conservative values. >> tucker: i sure you make it

because what you're saying is totally sensible and in line with what most people think. that would be a victory for democracy. thank you for joining us tonight. >> tucker, you said i was courageous for being here. a lot of people are saying that i'm afraid of losing my job. i'm not afraid of losing my job. i'm afraid of losing my country. i'm here to be a united states were presented for the united states of america. >> tucker: thank you. your in-laws are trying not to kill you. our shannon bream a new book about the anchor of "fox news @ night" and one of the good people in television. not a ton, but there are some! she is at the top of the list. shannon, congrats on another book. what is this one? >> i love that this is all about the beauty of mothers and

daughters and their relationship and you pick out the most dysfunctional families in the entire book. that's a very tucker thing to do because it's the most crazy part of the book. these families are in the bible, they are a mess. you mention the bad in laws. take heart from this book because we also have mothers and sons and fathers and daughters in this book so the father daughter combo of king saul, his daughter in love with david, saw him as arrival. set him up, and just continue to try to kill david by throwing spears at him, setting him up on these missions where he's going to get killed. david keeps surviving all of the attempt on his life. imagine being caught between your in-laws and spouse and there is a murder plot being carried out multiple times? that's where micah find yourself. >> tucker: religions are based on them but they are also so humans in a recognizable way. >> they really are. everything you see here and hopefully not your in-laws trying to kill you, but the

struggle of these women went through in the bible, they are still around in 2022 whether it is widowhood, dysfunctional family, fleeing famine and war, all these things we see in current events, they are all in the bible is not unaware of the suffering and working through it. i find these women very courageous and funky and brave and i think we all need a little bit of encouragement. >> tucker: you had read all the stories before you set down to write this book. >> i learned so much more about every one of these women because i grew up in a home to study the bible. i went through k-12 christian school, liberty university, one class away from a theology miner which i should just go online and finish by this point. i knew a lot of the stories. these women became very three-dimensional and personal to me, we could be friends because i got to know them so much better and that's a real gift to me and i hope it'll be a gift to the readers too. >> tucker: you are a walking advertisement for the faith. >> thanks, my friend. >> tucker: a tough business to
