Actor Alan Ritchson, most well-known for playing the role of Jack Reacher on Amazon Prime Video’s smash action television series Reacher, encouraged Americans to keep the flames of their hatred for President Donald Trump burning red hot, seemingly justifying those who despise him so much they’re willing to commit acts of political violence.
Ritchson made his comments during an appearance on the Armchair Expert podcast with fellow celebrity and Hollywood actor Dax Shepard. The Smallville star went on to state that folks should be mad enough at abusive Catholic priests, Republicans, and President Trump to physically beat them up. Ritchson then recounted a disturbing story about something film director Guy Ritchie once told him.
While Ritchson was working with Ritchie on the film The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, the director allegedly told him that the world would be better off if “everybody should wake up in a pool of their own teeth and blood.” The Reacher actor then said that, at first, he disagreed with the claim, but has since changed his mind.
“Since that point in time,” Ritchson said during the podcast, “so many things have happened in my life where I’m like, ‘it would be much better if everybody woke up in a pool of their own teeth…” According to Breitbart News, the actor returned to the statement after he was asked about letting go of the resentment he has about bad experiences in the entertainment industry. He turned the conversation toward those he holds as his political enemies.
“Look at the politics that we deal with right now,” he said as podcast host Dax Shepard giggled. “Like the White House is in ruins, a f***ing UFC cage on the lawn. And like, you just do it! You f***ing do it! And nobody says anything. And no consequences.” he yelled. “Nobody asked, it wasn’t done legally. There’s no plan in place. Now you’re asking for money to create it, It’s like, WHAT ARE WE DOING?”
“And there’s no consequences. And so, you, OK, so, like, I’m just supposed to let go of my resentment that this f***ing guy is just r*ping the world that he lives in for whatever gain he personally can have, and I’m supposed to let that go. And then what?” he ranted. “It f***ing still exists. I don’t know, I’m not going to let him go. I f***ing hate it. I hate that that sh*t still lives in the world, unabated, unchecked, unresolved, unclean.”
Ritchson then turned his hate on the Catholic Church, something he’s done numerous times over the years. “Look at the Catholic Church, and like the predatory behavior that is just going completely unmet with those victims that are still like unheard, unseen, no forgiveness, no resolution, no cure,” he told Shepard.

“And what is releasing the f***ing resentment gonna do for the world? Like, I think we should hold onto some of that anger, so somebody gets Guy Ritchie’d and wakes in a pool of their own teeth and blood,” he stated. The report then noted that a child is actually far more likely to be sexually abused by a teacher in public school, where the majority of educators are left-wing Democrats, than they are by a priest in the Catholic Church.
