Asbury University Asked “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Not To Bring Cameras, And It Is The Feel-Good Story Of The Century

By now you may have heard about the revival happening at Asbury University. The revival has been going strong since February 8th. This story is gripping the nation, so naturally news sources would want to get footage first-hand. That is exactly what Tucker had in mind when his team planned on going to Kentucky to get footage.

Tucker had the student body president Alison Perfater on the show earlier this week to discuss the revival with her.

After speaking with Alison, Tucker wanted to know more. He stated, “After the show, we found ourselves still thinking about it. We didn’t fully understand what was happening at Asbury, and we don’t really understand it now.” They had planned to take a crew there to get more info and see it first-hand. However, Asbury contacted him asking them not to come.

He stated, “it’s not personal, they said. They like our show, but the ongoing service at Asbury is purely spiritual. It’s got nothing to do with politics or business. No one there is making money from it or planning a run for office. It’s mostly just young people worshiping God.” They went on to say, “It’s not really a place for TV cameras.”

Tucker’s response to being turned down by the university is what makes this story even more beautiful. He stated, “and we understood that. In fact, we deeply respected it.” He went on to say,

When you work in television you run into a lot of people that want publicity. You almost never meet anyone that doesn’t want publicity. And when you do meet people who don’t want publicity, they’re either doing something wrong or, in the rarest of all cases, they’re doing something right – something so right and so beautiful and so true that media coverage can’t enhance it. It can only detract from it. We think that’s what’s happening at Asbury University.

God bless them for turning us down.

If this doesn’t give you all happy feels and warm your heart, I don’t know what will. This is such a beautiful story. I hope it has brought you as much joy as it has brought me.
