The Megyn Kelly Show

In his new book out today called A Billion Years, My Escape from a Life in the Highest Ranks of Scientology, he details it all, including incredible stories about Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, John Travolta and what happened the one time he tried to lure Michael Jackson into the church.

Scientology denies all of this I'm sure Tom Cruise does too um why should people be thinking like what how should they be thinking about the Church of Scientology you know you hear a lot of like well Catholics believe in crazy things too so do Jews so do Muslims you know what what makes Scientology different

I'm in in some ways it's not really that different but what makes it different is as we talked about earlier your tax your tax taxes are being used to subsidize the activities of Scientology and while you could say your tax dollars are being used to subsidize the activities of the Catholic Church or the Presbyterians or the Baptist or whoever and everybody's got problems nobody has institutionalized abuse and formalized the policies of the organization to attack destroy and abuse people like Scientology especially those who leave the church

I said one time and a lot of people have quoted me since saying the real way to tell the difference between a religion and a cult is what happens to you after you leave

you've got to buy it it's called A Billion Years my escape from a life in the highest ranks of Scientology

And that is Mike Rinder, who was a Scientologist and he was high up in Scientology.

He was part of Sea Org, which is like the Graham Puba section of Scientology.

He's out with a new book called A Billion Years.

It's about his life in the church.

Why he left.

He dishes on celebrities like Tom Cruise, John Travolta and much, much more.

He is reported by Carol Lenning and Philip Rucker of The Washington Post in their book, 'I Alone Can Fix It'. He said President Trump was preaching the gospel of the Fhrer in his rhetoric about the illegitimacy of the 2020 election that he Milley feared a Reichstag moment in the period immediately prior to the Capitol riot.

these guys are Nazis. They're proud boys. These are the same people we fought in World War Two

married Trump's book was number one of the best seller lists for months because of publicity that it got.

What happens, this is my phrase, to the little guy and their foundational freedoms like the right to speak, the right to pray, the right to gather freely when our laws increasingly restrict what we may say, they monitor what we do and tell us how we may live.

But, you know, James Madison, a long time ago asked the question, all right, some law is essential, but is there an irony in law? And can there be too much law in ways that actually hurt our freedoms and our aspirations for equality and our rights?

The federal criminal code is more than doubled in my lifetime in length. There are so many federal crimes now in regulatory provisions that nobody can be sure because it would take years just to read them. There are at least 300,000 we know.

And you say that one of the essential purposes in our founding documents, as as recognized by Justice William O. Douglas, was to take government off the backs of the people and to keep it off.

Our founders wanted for us written laws. They wrote a constitution that was a novel idea in human history at the time. And it was designed to divide and check and balance power and make lawmaking difficult.

The First Amendment protects an individual's right to speak his mind regardless of whether the government considers his speech sensible and well-intentioned or deeply misguided and likely to cause anguish or incalculable grief.

liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it.

If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects what never was and never will be.

What happens when lawmaking moves away from 'we the people' and into other, into executive areas where you're just a few people are deciding everything for us?

we should all recognize what gifts were given in our constitution. We all do. They don't, people don't need to be reminded of it, but sometimes we do forget, don't we?

And then All Boys Aren't Blue. I'm looking at All Boys Aren't Blue right now.

I'm sorry. Can you see this? It's a penis. It's a penis that's being massaged at the end with things to try. And then another one talking about ejaculation.

You then took off your shorts. This is two boys followed by your boxers.

There you stood in front of me, fully erect and said, taste it.

This is what boys like us do when we like each other.

And then All Boys Aren't Blue. I'm looking at All Boys Aren't Blue right now.

I'm sorry. Can you see this? It's a penis. It's a penis that's being massaged at the end with things to try.

And on it goes.

Now, how would you feel if your kid was at that school and they had books like gender queer in there and about the boys, not blue, whatever it's called, the books that I was reading to you now?

I talked to Bill Barr about this last week, Trump's attorney general...one of the most interesting parts of his book...

He's explaining to Bill Barr in the book...He's been embattled his entire presidency with fake news, with lies about him, with lies from the Democrats, with lies.

It's a great, great explanation. It's kind of how the news business is, too.

It's a great description of what it's like to be attorney general.

Don't forget to buy the book, One Damn Thing After Another.

He made that explicit to John Bolton. You can read it in John Bolton's memoir.

Bolton writing a book highly critical of his former boss titled The Room Where It Happened. The Trump administration unsuccessfully suing at the time to stop publication of the book, alleging it contained classified information.

in connection with the publication of his book.

It was done so well by Joe McGuinness. Fascinating story with the book too.

I listened to it via audio.

I really recommend it.

Joe McGuinness basically got recruited by McDonald to write the book and then turned on...McGuinness turned on McDonald.

Anyway, it's a great book. It's very interesting.

We have the book Fatal Vision which I highly recommend, and anyone listening to this, if you've seen the show and you haven't read the book yet, I highly recommend it.

I am related to Loretta Swit from MASH.

And I once saw her on the Upper West Side in the Pottery Barn, signing copies of her new book and greeted her like a long lost relative.

My first book in the useful genre was How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big. That book turned out to be a huge success, often imitated and influencing a wide variety of people.

Scott going on to publish several books, including How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, Reframe Your Brain, The User Interface for Happiness and Success, and more.

at a certain point, Jeff made a huge push to bring on Alison Golas to her daytime television show.

they were joined at the hip.

I had to wonder why Jeff was angling so hard to bring Alison on board.

She and her husband and kids had moved into the apartment right above Jeff and Karen's. Everyone who heard about their cozy arrangement thought it was super strange.

his first hire, Alison Golas over on CNN. Oh, and I never did hear from him about that job.

She's getting hit because she admits she wouldn't help younger women while at NBC because like Ashley Banfield, she said, because she would have considered itself sabotage.

She believed Ashley Banfield's dad was running around saying Ashley was going to get Katie's job. And that's why she felt that way.

Ashley, who's I have to say, always a class act. I love Ashley Banfield. Came out and said she's yeah, she does. She can't said I'm really hurt by that.

And by the way, my dad was senile and in a nursing home. And I don't know what you're talking about, but he no.

Deborah Norville, I guess she said Deborah Norville had relentless perfection that was off putting to viewers.

You should definitely read his stuff and watch some of his podcasts because there's probably some gold for you to mine, too.

He's Spectacular. I think he's an amazing guy. He's also brilliant and used his powers for evil and now is on the straight and narrow and espousing a lot of lessons on it.

He would later write a New York Times bestselling book, The Wolf of Wall Street, and soon Hollywood would come knocking and A-list actors would launch a bidding war for the movie rights.

And then everybody's clamoring for the movie rights. Leonardo DiCaprio gets involved. He wants to play you.

Doug has been reading Douglas Murray's War on the West.

Think about that. How to prevail in the age of unreason. Don't you need that guide?

He gives an impassioned defense of Western culture, institutions and politics, and why it should not be a thought crime to still believe in and indeed defend them.

He's a hero and he will be featured in The War on the West Part Two.

White people are one of the first subjects of attack, a fact that has been steadily normalized and made into the only acceptable form of racism in the societies in which it happens.

This book will be, as I said about Madness of Crowds, this is my new Dianetics. This book will be an able guide to help them do that.

You're going to love him. He's coming up in one minute. He is the author of the bestselling book, The Souls of Yellow Folk.

Blind Spots, When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health.

So when we use good science in medicine, we can help a lot of people, but when we use the opinions of a small group of leaders and central planners in medicine where they issue these broad edicts, we have a lousy track record. Food pyramid, the opioid epidemic, the obesity epidemic.

The Mayo Clinic looked at 14,000 kids and compared those who had an antibiotic in the first couple of years of life. This is a scary part of the book.

The kids who took an antibiotic in the first couple of years of life compared to kids who did not had a 20% higher rate of obesity, 21% higher rate of learning disabilities, all of which are on the rise in the modern era of antibiotics, 32% higher rate of attention deficit disorder, 90% higher rate of asthma, and nearly a 300% higher rate of celiac.

The book is called Blind Spots by Marty McCary, M-A-K-A-R-Y.

It is called Blind Spots, When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health.

The microbiome, the poison food supply, the toxins we're exposed to, the bad recommendations that we put out there, the fact that some of our modern-day health crises have been caused by the hubris of the medical establishment.

We said opioids were not addictive, igniting the opioid epidemic.

We said we gave the wrong advice on peanut allergies, igniting the modern-day peanut allergy epidemic.

The book is called Blind Spots by Marty McCary, M-A-K-A-R-Y.

David Deutsch, who's my current favorite scientific author, he talks about this in The Fabric of Reality, that there are basically four great explanations that can be used to explain at a high level almost everything going on in the world.

That was a term coined, you write by author James Truslow Adams, 1931 book, The Epic of America.

The dream has not been a dream of material plenty, though that has doubtlessly counted heavily. It has been a dream of being able to grow to fullest development as a man and a woman, unhampered by the barriers which had slowly been erected in the older civilizations, unrepressed by social orders which had developed for the benefit of classes rather than for the simple human being of any and every class.

There's not a more important book that's been written in the past decade as far as I'm concerned.

This is this is the guide for all. This is what we need it for all the parents saying, I don't know what to do. I don't know who to trust. I don't you know, I haven't even seen anybody outline the problem, honestly. You've done it.

I wrote this book, uh, uh, Lost in Trans Nation. I used, you know, I put my heart and my soul into it because I saw there was such a tremendous need, uh, for parents to have tools and information to help navigate this ordeal.

There's nothing else like this. This is the book we needed parents.

I have no financial stake in this. I, I'm just a huge fan of Dr. Grossman Lost in Trans Nation, read it, prepare.

Dr. Grossman has a new book. It's called Lost in Trans Nation.

Lost in Trans Nation, a child psychiatrist's guide out of the madness.

The book is called Lost in Transnation.

It's available right now. It's out next month, but you can pre-order on Amazon right now.

And JC Shea, former police officer and editor of Liz's best selling book.

They share their reporting in an extraordinary new documentary called the fall of Minneapolis.

Britney Spears comes out with this memoir, 'The Woman in Me'. And I think there are actually a lot of life lessons in this thing, a lot of life lessons for people thinking about putting their child anywhere near the entertainment industry.

She reveals she lost her virginity when she was 14 years old. She was drinking with her mother starting in the eighth grade. She was having daiquiris with her mother.

Her little sister was drinking to apparently even at a younger age, white Russians, which they all thought tasted like ice cream.

She was taking Adderall like it was candy to get high later on. She wound up in taking lithium, which is a very serious drug, thanks to her conservatorship and so on.

The dad constantly telling her she wasn't good enough. The love was not unconditional that even as recently as her big tour out in Vegas, her diet was being monitored. He was always telling her she was fat.

Britney Spears is coming out with a book, The Woman in Me.

She reveals in it apparently because the People magazine got their hands on it in Daily Mail reporting that she had an abortion when she was dating Justin Timberlake, when she found herself pregnant at just 19.

I applaud her for admitting it. It does feel like a personal detail that others would have chosen not to share. But I applaud her for revealing it because there are real risks to this sort of carefree, oh yeah, we're going to have premarital sex, and we're going to have the celebrity lifestyle. And if you find yourself pregnant and you're not yet ready to be a mother or a father, these are your choices.
