tucker: whoa. $5,000 is still a lot of money, unheard of. what rush said to me said i don t want you to tell anybody about this, this is between you and me. this is not alone, this is a gift. because good things need to happen to good people once in a while. tucker: that makes me emotional. that s who this man was. there were tens of thousands of those stories, he was generous to so many people that he had never even met. and he did it all without wanting to be known. he had a deep spiritual faith and he did talk about that toward the end of his life. i think one of the tributes that
relationship with a higher power that i choose to call god. and it has been monumental, and my progression and growth. tucker: when you see people in the depths of addiction and they are hurting others and harming themselves almostro indiscriminately, it s like someone watching them stick a knife in their face. i cannot tell you believe yoi just said that. i was thinking about paralleling what we are seeing on the streets with some sort of description, and i was thinking to myself, if you are walking down the street and you saw a guy stabbing himself with andnd knife, would you just walk by? would you accommodate his space? would you write policies so that he would be okay? would you create a building so that him and other people can safely stab themselves? it s no different with addiction. however addiction i think is more insidious. and its more destructive.
tucker: merry christmas and welcome back. tonight a much less depressing lineup then usual. we are highlighting some of our favorite and most inspiring interviews on a daytime show we call tucker carlson today. we just did one with a best-selling author and christian radio show host eric metaxas. he says there is never been more scientific evidence of god s existence than there is now. spoke to him recently for an episode of tucker carlson today. here is part of it. episode of tucker carlson today. here is part of it. is atheism dead? i would just ask the question posed by the title, is it dead? actually the reason that i
have been around with things. and the transition between this life and what we see in the eternal life.en it s a very interestingfe transition. and this is much more significant. tucker: when you think of death, does it make you anxious? no, but i think when i am dying, i will be more anxious. i m actually looking forward to it, because i really do believe that in the eternal life. for me the great excitement of dying is it means the new level of life where i may be able to explore the universe. we live in a tiny little grain of sand in this vast universe that god has created. and i want to know the rest of it. i want to know the adventure of the rest of it. and to know god s plan, his marvelous creativity in the w abundance of variety in the world of creation. i think that that is what is going to happen when i die. i m going to enter into a new level of life. that s very exciting.
