TRANSCRIPT OF GOOD MORNING AMERICA SHOW
GUEST, TOM CRUISE

The following is a short example (and transcript!) of a caring, educated voice (Tom Cruise) being 'respected and welcomed' as a guest on Good Morning, America, by Host, Matt Lauer. Notice how Matt was able to move past his own hypnosis (by drug companies and FDA 'approved' drugs...and the ensuing ignorance,) and struggled to learn to respect an informed American. It truly seemed that a highly paid morning news anchor could not find a way to acknowledge the value of an intelligent person who is seeking the truth and wants to share it with those who need to know: The American people! How many good ways are there to get this information out there? The drug companies practically own the media because of all the advertisement time the purchase! These drugs that may have been actual sponsors that morning for products that have such horrendous side effects, no one would dare take them...non one who has knowledge of alternative products found in health food stores...products that are not allowed, by law, to state that they can fix a problem! Yeah, the pharmaceutical companies are the at the top of the lobbiest groups that have found a way to take control over the legislation! They 'get passed' and sometimes even write, legislation they need to make lots of money, harm great numbers of people, have no liability, and basically run a 'business with disease' They also contribute to and control the medical research and educational system that leaves doctors believing that drugs are the only answer, and that there is no other source of health care. They are trained to ignore the alternative health care approach, and indeed are harassed for decades by the A.M.A. and the A.D.A. for practicing alternative medicine as an M.D! Did you know that prozac was tested for effectiveness and FDA approval with Xanex also being given to the subjects? Did you know the FDA knew about it? We know now that there was plenty of negative information the FDA knew about before approving widespread drugs like statins and pain killers, that have gone on to do much harm. The FDA is broken. How can we trust them again? Wouldn't it be nice if we ALL felt free to speak out against the evil lies we are being told? Some of us do it anyway. Nobody said it would be easy.

THINK about it.

Matt brought up a subject about which he was clearly uninformed, but had clearly bought into. Calming someone down on drugs definitely has negative side effects on the control center, the brain. Tom knows this, and he chose to speak out, knowing he made that choice, knowing he was taking a stand, choosing to do that which most people do not do, that which makes most people feel uncomfortable. When does comfort need to take a back seat to truth? THINK about it.

THE TOM CRUISE 'WAR OF THE WORLDS' INTERVIEW ON TODAY SHOW

The transcript appears below as an approximate transcript due to the difficulty with overtalk during the exchange.

NBC 'TODAY SHOW' host Matt Lauer began the interview by bringing up the subject of antidepressants and scientology. Intelligence and openness ensued, shocking media pundits and most 'sleepwalking' Americans, who then wondered why Tom didn't just ignore the strange introduction, and keep his intelligence to himself, and just say 'come see my movie.' Read the transcript below, and see what you THINK...

TRANSCRIPT:

MATT LAUER: TOM CRUISE CREATED A FIRESTORM WHEN HE CRITICIZED BROOKE SHIELDS FOR REVEALING THAT SHE WENT INTO THERAPY AND TOOK ANTIDEPRESSANTS TO DEAL WITH HER POST PARTUM DEPRESSION. AS A SCIENTOLOGIST, HE DOESN'T BELIEVE IN PSYCHIATRIC MEDICINE. I ASKED HIM ABOUT HIS COMMENTS.

TOM CRUISE: i've never agreed with psychiatry, ever. Before I was a Scientologist I never agreed with psychiatry. and when i started studying the history of psychiatry, i understood more and more why i didn't believe in psychology.

And as far as the Brooke Shields thing is, look. You gotta understand, I really care about Brooke Shields. I-- I think here's a-- a-- a wonderful and talented woman. And-- I wanna see her do well. And I know that-- psychiatry is-- is a pseudo science.

MATT LAUER: But-- but Tom, if she said that this particular thing helped her feel better, whether it was the antidepressant or going to a counselor or psychiatrist, isn't that enough?

TOM CRUISE: Matt, you have to understand this. Here we are today where I talk out against drugs and psychiatric abuses of electric shocking people (PH), okay, against their will, of drugging children with them not knowing the effects of these drugs. Do you know what Aderol (PH) is? Do you know Ritalin? Do you know now that Ritalin is a street drug? Do you understand that?

MATT LAUER: The difference is-

TOM CRUISE: No, no, Matt.

MATT LAUER: This wasn't against her will, though.

TOM CRUISE: Matt-- Matt, Matt, Matt--

MATT LAUER: But this wasn't against her will.

TOM CRUISE: Matt, I'm-- Matt, I'm asking you a question.

MATT LAUER: I understand there's abuse of all of these things.

TOM CRUISE: No, you see. Here's the problem. You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do.

MATT LAUER: Aren't there examples, and might not Brooke Shields be an example, of someone who benefited from one of those drugs?

TOM CRUISE: All it does is mask the problem, Matt. And if you understand the history of it, it masks the problem. That's what it does. That's all it does. You're not getting to the reason why. There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance.

MATT LAUER: So, postpartum depression to you is--

TOM CRUISE: Matt--

MATT LAUER: --kind of a--

TOM CRUISE: --don't--

MATT LAUER: --little psychological gook--

TOM CRUISE: That--

MATT LAUER: --googley-gook?

TOM CRUISE: --no. No. I did not say that.

MATT LAUER: I'm just asking what you-- what would you call it?

TOM CRUISE: No. No. Abs-- Matt, that is-- the-- post-- now-- now, you're talking about two different things.

MATT LAUER: But that's what she went on the--

TOM CRUISE: No.

MATT LAUER: --antidepressant for.

TOM CRUISE: But what happens, the antidepressant, all it does is mask the problem. There's ways of vitamins and through exercise and various things. I'm not saying that that isn't real. That's not what I'm saying. That's an alteration of what-- what I'm saying. I'm saying that drugs aren't the answer, these drugs are very dangerous. They're mind-altering, anti-psychotic drugs. And there are ways of doing it without that so that we don't end up in a brave new world. // the thing that I'm saying about Brooke is that there's misinformation, okay. And she doesn't understand the history of psychiatry. She-- she doesn't understand in the same way that you don't understand it, Matt.

MATT LAUER: But a little bit what you're saying Tom is, you say you want people to do well. But you want them do to well by taking the road that you approve of, as opposed to a road that may work for them.

TOM CRUISE: No, no, I'm not.

MATT LAUER: Well, if antidepressants work for Brooke Shields, why isn't that okay?

TOM CRUISE: I-- I disagree with it. And I think that there's a higher and better quality of life. And I think that promoting for me personally, see, you're saying what, I can't discuss what I wanna discuss?

MATT LAUER: No. You absolutely can.

TOM CRUISE: I know. But-- but Matt, you're going in and saying that-- that I can't discuss this.

MATT LAUER: I'm only asking, isn't there a possibility that-- do-- do you examine the possibility that these things do work for some people? That yes, there are abuses. And yes, maybe they've gone too far in certain areas. Maybe there are too many kids on Ritalin. Maybe electric shock--

TOM CRUISE: Too many kids on Ritalin? Matt.

MATT LAUER: I'm just saying. But-- but aren't there--

TOM CRUISE: Matt.

MATT LAUER: --examples where it works?

TOM CRUISE: Matt. Matt, Matt, you don't even-- you're glib. You don't even know what Ritalin is. If you start talking about chemical imbalance, you have to evaluate and read the research papers on how they came up with these theories, Matt, okay. That's what I've done. Then you go and you say where's-- where's the medical test? Where's the blood test that says how much Ritalin you're supposed to get?

MATT LAUER: You're-- you're-- it's very impressive to listen to you. Because clearly, you've done the homework. And-- and you know the subject.

TOM CRUISE: And you should.

MATT LAUER: And-- and--

TOM CRUISE: And you should do that also.

MATT LAUER: And--

TOM CRUISE: Because just knowing people who are on Ritalin isn't enough. //you should be a little bit more responsible in knowing really--

MATT LAUER: I'm not prescribing Ritalin, Tom. And I'm not asking--

TOM CRUISE: Well--

MATT LAUER: --anyone else to do it. I'm simply saying--

TOM CRUISE: Well, you are. You're saying--

MATT LAUER: I know some people who seem to have been helped by it.

TOM CRUISE: I-- but you're saying-- but you-- like-- this is a very important issue.

MATT LAUER: I couldn't agree more.

TOM CRUISE: It's very-- and you know what? You're here on the Today Show.

MATT LAUER: Right.

TOM CRUISE: And to talk about it in a way of saying, "Well, isn't it okay," and being reasonable about it when you don't know and I do, I think that you should be a little bit more responsible in knowing what it is.

MATT LAUER: But--

TOM CRUISE: Because you-- you communicate to people.

MATT LAUER: But you're now telling me that your experiences with the people I know, which are zero, are more important than my experiences.

TOM CRUISE: What do you mean by that?

MATT LAUER: You're telling me what's worked for people I know or hasn't worked for people I know. i'm telling you i've lived with these people and they're better.

TOM CRUISE: So, you're-- you're advocating it.

MATT LAUER: I am not. I'm telling you in their case-- (LAUGHTER)

MATT LAUER: In their individual case, it worked. I am not gonna go out and say--

TOM CRUISE: Matt--

MATT LAUER: --"Get your kids on Ritalin. It's the cure-all--

TOM CRUISE: Matt, Matt.

MATT LAUER: --and the end-all."

TOM CRUISE: Matt, but here's the point. what is the ideal scene for life

TOM CRUISE: Okay. Ideal scene is someone not having to take anti-psychotic drugs.

MATT LAUER: I would agree.

TOM CRUISE: Okay. So, now you look at-- and you go okay. A-- a departure from that ideal scene is someone taking drugs, okay. And then you go, okay. What is the theory and the science behind that, that justifies that?

MATT LAUER: Let me take this more general, 'cause I think you and I can go around in circles on this for awhile. And i respect your opinion ...Do you want more people to understand Scientology? Is that-- would that be a goal of yours?

TOM CRUISE: You know what? I-- absolutely. Of course, you know. And people--

MATT LAUER: How do you go about that?

TOM CRUISE: You just communicate about it. And the important thing is, like you and I talk about it, whether it's-- okay, if I wanna know something, I go and find out. Because I don't talk about things that I don't understand. I'll say, you know what? I'm not so sure about that. I'll go find more information about it so I can-- I can come to an opinion based on-- on the information that I have.

MATT LAUER: You-- you're so passionate about it. And I'm--

TOM CRUISE: I'm passionate about learning. I'm passionate about life, Matt.
