Media personality Russell Brand recently sat down with political commentator Tucker Carlson for the first episode of his new weekly podcast, “Break Bread with Russell Brand.”
“Since becoming a believer, I’ve wanted to create a space where I can talk about my faith on a deeper level with others,” Brand said of the podcast in a post on X.
During the episode, Brand said he and Tucker “prayed, talked about our faith, read the Bible, and, of course, broke bread together.”

Tucker Carlson on Why He Doesn’t Attend Church
Tucker, who has recently been more open about his spiritual journey, told Brand that he has trouble attending church due to how “flawed” and “fake” Christian leaders are.
“One of the reasons that I have a lot of trouble going to church is [because] all these Christian leaders are so flawed and so obviously fake. I can’t deal with it,” said Tucker. “It freaks me out.”
The former Fox News personality further expressed that he believes the reason for this situation is “because they’re all under spiritual attack. That’s why.”
Brand replied, “They’re under spiritual attack?”
“Yes, they are,” Tucker said. “Everyone’s like, ‘Well, why do all these Christian ministers, famous Christian ministers, have freaky sex lives?’ Well, why do you think? Because they’re under spiritual attack.”
