00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: you and me after going through the weekend that we

21
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: went through, watching the religious military aspects try to take

22
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: over Easter Sunday, try to take over the narrative of

23
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 2: war and none of it, and I mean none of it.

24
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: Some of the biggest stories from this weekend getting covered

25
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 2: on mainstream media. We'll get to some of that, but

26
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 2: I wanted to play something before we started.

27
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: Steve.

28
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: I found this commercial. I found this commercial this weekend

29
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: with an incredible backdrop, He has Risen. You saw a

30
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: lot of that this weekend, Right, this is going to

31
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 2: be a huge perspective setting narrative today with dead Air,

32
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: we saw a lot of the he has Risen stuff, right,

33
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: we saw which Hey, listen, good.

34
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: Great. If that's what you believe, I think that's phenomenal.

35
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: I have no bones.

36
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: If you believe that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead,

37
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: that's great. If you believe that Jesus Christ was raised

38
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: from the dead, and on Sundays, you should use that

39
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: as a graphic to sell some cars. I thought, for

40
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 2: a second, I was I thought this was a joke.

41
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 2: It indeed is not.

42
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 4: Well, of course, let's let's just also but before you go,

43
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 4: of course, this is Easter is the holiest day in

44
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 4: the Christian calendar, and this is the day that Christ

45
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 4: is resurrected. And I think scripturally, I think it's Luke

46
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 4: that the references from is that the tomb that has

47
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 4: been sealed, that that Christ has been buried in is

48
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 4: opened and Christ is not there.

49
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: Correct.

50
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 4: And Luke records that what's exclaimed is he has raisen.

51
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 3: Yes, and of course this.

52
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 4: Was in in in in.

53
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 3: Part of the prophecy.

54
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 4: So but anyway, this is this is at the epicenter

55
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 4: of Christian belief. This act that Jesus Christ to is

56
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 4: executed on Good Friday, the day that's recalled crucified. This

57
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 4: is what the stations are, the cross is about, and

58
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 4: on Easter Christ is resurrected.

59
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: Correct, it's it's it is it is holy prophecy. It

60
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: is a sacred portion, sacred peace. Uh that, as you

61
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: pointed out as the holiest of days during the holiest

62
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: of weeks in the Christian calendar not named.

63
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 4: All Christian faith is built around this act.

64
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: You got it? You bet? Yeah?

65
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 3: This is Christian.

66
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: This is it.

67
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: This is a and I want you yeah, you got it,

68
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: but I want you to take special note that now

69
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: in the United States of America, they're using this to

70
00:03:58,280 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: sell cars.

71
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,560

Speaker 1: Yeah.

87
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 2: Well that that to me is what you know now

88
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: today when I saw this weekend, that was the perfect

89
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: like encapsulation of how America has American eyed the holiest day.

90
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: Of the year.

91
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: I mean, we're gonna we're gonna get to what mainstream

92
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,679
Speaker 2: media missed. We'll get to the disastrous weekend for mainstream media.

93
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 2: We'll get to the fact that nobody really paid attention

94
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 2: to Easter, nobody really gave a ship.

95
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: We'll get to all that stuff.

96
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 2: But can you find a better example of what America

97
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: has done to the holiest day of the year in

98
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:26,679
Speaker 2: the Christian calendar.

99
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: Really, I've never really seen anything like that.

100
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 4: I've never seen any Easter ad like that, the full

101
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 4: on He's Risen.

102
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: Hey, guys, hey, guys, you know.

103
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 4: I'd almost I almost I almost say I'm somewhat credulous

104
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 4: around around it, around it's around its realness.

105
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: It's real. I checked. That is a real dealership. It

106
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 2: is run by that lady. She's I think twenty four

107
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: to twenty five years old. I think her parents bought

108
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 2: it for her. Yeah, it's a really great story. It's

109
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: a storybook starting from the bottom. Now she's here. Uh

110
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: and and she sells cars for no car on the

111
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: lot is less than it is more than ten thousand dollars.

112
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: That's that's her stick, right, So what she thought she'd

113
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: do is take the heat.

114
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: He has Risen stuff at the.

115
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: Top, put like a Toyota's Toyota camera on the front,

116
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 2: give it angels wings and put it in the clouds,

117
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: probably listening, not watching.

118
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: And go, guys, hey, guys, he's he's a Risen.

119
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: I think today's a great deal for you to come

120
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: and get a car for under ten grand, Like.

121
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 4: Well, there's two parts to it, right, there's also the

122
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 4: guy on his couch who runs out of his house, right,

123
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 4: I gotta get there, got to die.

124
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 3: This is it? This is it? How many do you sell? Right?

125
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: That's no, it's it's more.

126
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 4: Motivating to get off the couch to come like and

127
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 4: then do you talk about it?

128
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 3: Like I bought this car on Easter eight grand?

129
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, period favor with the Savior. It was every car's

130
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 2: less than ten. So yeah, she's doing something really important

131
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: for humanity.

132
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, this is really cool.

133
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: Anyway, I just thought i'd start off the top with

134
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: that a little levity because we got some heavy shit

135
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: to get to today. Heavy shit because this weekend we

136
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: saw something we've never seen. And this is what we

137
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: weighed today's scorecard and grading system against. For all five

138
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: major Sunday daily news programs, we waited against three different things.

139
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 2: One of them is this incredible rescue, which is now

140
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 2: coming under scrutiny. What was covered, how did they cover it?

141
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: Did we get details? Do we have names? Do we

142
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: have pictures? Are we getting the truth from mainstream media?

143
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: Are they trying to figure out what's going on and

144
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 2: around with this alleged rescue of a shotdown pilot.

145
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: So that was number one.

146
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 2: The second thing that we followed was this increasing Holy war,

147
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: watching Pete Hegseth go to war with the Vatican this

148
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 2: week again saying no Catholics allowed in any of these

149
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: Pentagon weekly prayer meetings. Christians and evangelical Christians only, you know,

150
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: bringing Doug Wilson in, who's a psycho, trying to like

151
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 2: to take everybody in the Pentagon into this evangelical cult.

152
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 2: But the one thing that we really sort of measured

153
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: everything by it was from a tweet this weekend, Steve,

154
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: that Donald Trump put out.

155
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: I want to put it up for it.

156
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: That got very little coverage, you know, the marks of

157
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 2: everybody go to Feeling Grade. Just a quick little PostScript.

158
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 2: Everybody got to feeling Grade. A couple of people mentioned it.

159
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: But this tweet defined the entire weekend. It defined everything.

160
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 2: It defined Easter, defined the psychotic nature of one Donald Trump.

161
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 2: If we can put that tweet up real quick, Mike,

162
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: this is this is something, this tweet that he put up.

163
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: And I want to bring this.

164
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 2: Up because I think it's I think it's psychotic.

165
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: This is the president of the United states.

166
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 2: I think this qualifies as psychotic. And for everybody who

167
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: hasn't seen this tweet, I would encourage you not to go.

168
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: To Twitter because this is also a true social post.

169
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 2: You can check it out on my on my substack

170
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: deem Blundell a substack dot com. We've got a full

171
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 2: write up about the whole thing. But it is it

172
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 2: is legitimately psychotic. And when I say psychotic.

173
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 5: I mean.

174
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 2: I've never seen and I mean the guy's a psycho

175
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 2: and he's got dementia. But this is all world, he says,

176
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: Tuesday will be power plant Day. That's tomorrow, everybody and

177
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: bridge day, all wrapped up in one. In Iran, there

178
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: will be nothing like it. Open the fucking straight, you

179
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: crazy bastards, or you'll be You'll.

180
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: Be living in hell. Just watch.

181
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: Then he finishes with Praise Beta Allah. Just to rub

182
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: that Christian knife into the back of the Iranian regime.

183
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: Praise be to Allah, Steve.

184
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 2: No one does this better your thoughts, I.

185
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 4: Mean I don't. On Easter Sunday, he meaning Donald Trump,

186
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 4: commander in chief of the world's most potent nuclear arsenal,

187
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 4: issues this threat and that threat. Let's just take it

188
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 4: before we get into any of the moral dimensions of

189
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 4: it whatsoever, because what it really is is the threat

190
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 4: of a criminal act. But let's just take all of

191
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 4: that away and just take what he's saying at face

192
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 4: value for what it is, which is a direct threat

193
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 4: at the Iranian regime.

194
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 3: Do this or something's going to happen to you.

195
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 4: And so, like any threat, you have to weigh that

196
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 4: threat and you have to make it to say it's

197
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 4: that a credible threat?

198
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 3: Is that?

199
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 4: Might he do that? What's the meaning of the threat?

200
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 4: And in order to understand, really, I think the meaning

201
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 4: of the threat, you have to evaluate the threat. Well,

202
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 4: is the person making the threat in a position to

203
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 4: deliver on the threat? And Trump can do all of

204
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 4: those things. He has the power to do those things,

205
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 4: does he.

206
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 3: Donald Trump, who has the power to.

207
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 4: Do those things, does he have the will to do them?

208
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 3: Will he do it?

209
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 6: All? Right?

210
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 4: Great, great question sitting out in front of the world

211
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 4: right now. But is if from a position of strength

212
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 4: or from a position of weakness, if he were to

213
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 4: do what it is that he said he's going to do,

214
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 4: and Iran was put into the darkness and was to

215
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 4: have new bridges, would the Iranian regime topple, would the

216
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 4: straits of Hormuz open? Teddy Roosevelt said, walks softly and

217
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 4: carry a big stick. This does not seem to me

218
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 4: like walks softly and carry a big stick. So what

219
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 4: he's promised to do is a war crime. And he's

220
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 4: announced a schedule on the day that the war crime

221
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 4: will be done, which is which is Tuesday.

222
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 3: And so.

223
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 4: It's an extraordinary thing at that level before you get

224
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 4: even into the morality of it, in the religiosity of it,

225
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 4: and the mockery.

226
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 3: Of the world's Muslims.

227
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, what did you make of that last piece?

228
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 4: Because it's a polling, you get like separation of church

229
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 4: and state. The United States Armed Forces have no small

230
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 4: number of Muslims serving on active duty, serving on active

231
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 4: duty and the most senior in sensitive positions across the government.

232
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 3: And CIA and FBI. It's outlandish.

233
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 4: You don't have a religious test in the in the

234
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 4: United States. So it's disrespectful. And the end of the day,

235
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 4: you hope that someone has the baseline maturity and judgment

236
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 4: to appreciate. Hey, the last thing I want to do

237
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 4: is stoke a twenty first century crusade. Last thing I

238
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 4: want to do is fertilize the field for religious fanaticism,

239
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 4: Muslim religious fanaticism, Christian religious fanaticism, Jewish religious fanaticism. Religious

240
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 4: fanaticism is deadly, it's dangerous, and it's invariably anti democratic.

241
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 2: It's purposeful though, right, And I wrote about it this weekend.

242
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what he did.

243
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 2: If not, you know, center the target on him more

244
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: when it comes to the IRGC and the Iranian regime.

245
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 2: But asked Salmon Rushdie, right, how long the Iranian regime's

246
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 2: memory is, Right? I was thinking about that this morning.

247
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 2: He just damned his entire lineage to being targets of

248
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 2: the Iranian regime depending on how this war goes, Number one,

249
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 2: with that last little piece, that last little tweet, and

250
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 2: to that point this weekend, spokesperson for the Uranian regime

251
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: was very angry, made mention that Donald Trump was going

252
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 2: to be his target, then said they would not negotiate.

253
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 2: They had no plans on even a ceasefire. This is

254
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: a tweet that came out this weekend. There will be

255
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 2: no cease fire. There will be no end of the

256
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: hostilities against the US targets in the United States. There

257
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 2: will be no end to chasing Donald Trump and his

258
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: lineage around the world. This will end when the there

259
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 2: will not open up the strait of horror moves at all.

260
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 2: That's what the Iranian regime said after the tweets. So

261
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 2: you add that fit philosophical or that ideological perspective to this.

262
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: To a hardline group of Muslim extremists and terrorists, who

263
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 2: are they put Salmon Rushty on their hit list when

264
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 2: he wrote the Satanic verses back in the early nineties.

265
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: They got to him in two thousand and three, almost

266
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 2: killed him, took out his eye. I mean, you know,

267
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: these are the things that no one thinks about when

268
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 2: you read a funny tweet like that. If you're an

269
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 2: American citizen, right, if you're American citizen and you're a

270
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 2: Trump guy, first of all, you're a fucking moron.

271
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: Second of all, you.

272
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 2: Read that tweet and you go Tuesday's power plant Day,

273
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: Bridge Day wrapped up in Won, Iran, there will be

274
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: nothing like it. Open the fucking straight you crazy best,

275
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 2: You're like yeah. And then you know, if you're a

276
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 2: mega Christian, a hardline evangelical like Pete Hegseith, you look

277
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 2: at this and he says it'll be a living hell.

278
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 2: Just watch praise be to Allah. You're like, yeah, and

279
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 2: then we then we stuck it in him at the end.

280
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 2: We really really showed him whose boss at the end.

281
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 2: But that's the calculus that none of these people either

282
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: care about. Maybe no one's talked to Donald Trump about it,

283
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 2: but that name will be chased down for generations, generations

284
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 2: by these hardliners because of what they fucking believe.

285
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 4: Extremism begets more extremism, begets more extremism, begets more extremism,

286
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 4: and it's just unbelievably dangerous. It puts a target on

287
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 4: the backs of Americans all over the world. And the

288
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 4: last thing in a pluralistic society which the United States

289
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 4: actually is, with freedom of religion, which it actually has,

290
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 4: and a separation of church and state upon which it

291
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 4: is founded, in which it maintains. The yoking of this

292
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 4: religious nuttiness to a war of aggression without a plan

293
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 4: against a theocratic state that is run by apocalyptic iatolas

294
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 4: is deeply, deeply dangerous. It's not rational, it's not the

295
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 4: right thing, the smart thing, the right way to go

296
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 4: about dealing with the Iranians at all. And so what

297
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 4: Donald Trump is again, doing is showing is disdain for

298
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 4: the Iranian people who he abandoned when he could have

299
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 4: helped them when they were on the streets. He's going

300
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 4: to plunge them into darkness. He's going to destroy the

301
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 4: means for them to feed their families, the means to

302
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 4: resist the regime. The regime will be fine. This is

303
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 4: not a strategy. This is an entertainment tweet for a

304
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 4: snuff film that we call Fox News. And what's getting

305
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 4: snuffed out is American decency, American values, American honor and

306
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 4: common sense. And the last thing down the chain to

307
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 4: get snuffed out in this whole filthy line is that

308
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 4: young American life, choking on his blood, got spilled out

309
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 4: on some dirty stretch of land in Iran.

310
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 1: Well said, great point.

311
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 2: Another point that it's worth making is the disparity between

312
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 2: the leader of the United States and the leader of Canada.

313
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 2: And Mark Karney put this tweet out for posterity. Can

314
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 2: we put that up on the screen, Mike, Mark Karney

315
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 2: was wasn't just kind. If you've got the tweet, Mark Carney,

316
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 2: as you see here, really just laid it out for

317
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 2: everybody celebrating Christians across Canada celebrating the the death and

318
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 2: the resurrection of Jesus Christ your mind a compassion talked

319
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,719
Speaker 2: about fighting hate, light following darkness. May you and your

320
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 2: families have a blessed, a blessed Easter. Compare that to

321
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 2: Tuesday will be power Plant Bridge Day, all wrapped up,

322
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 2: nothing like it. Open the fucking straight, you crazy bastards.

323
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 2: Praise be Allah. I mean, you know, just a quick

324
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 2: aside before we start getting to what the Sunday shows

325
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 2: did not cover and some of them did cover it,

326
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 2: and we'll get to that in just a second, just

327
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 2: to quick aside. I couldn't have been more proud of

328
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 2: my Prime Minister in that moment. I could not have

329
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 2: been more proud. And it's these moments where you get

330
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 2: got a comparator right where you look at real leadership

331
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 2: and then you look at what's going on in your

332
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 2: neck of the woods and you're like, I don't know

333
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 2: how three hundred and forty million people aren't grabbing their

334
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 2: muskets literally walking up to the fucking white that's going, Okay,

335
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 2: get the fuck out right, because that's all I thought

336
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 2: when I read that tweek.

337
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just it's just it's just it's uh,

338
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 4: it's shameful, and it's such an affront on so many

339
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 4: different levels beyond measure, right, it's it's Easter Sunday, and

340
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 4: without without turning this into religious program. This this is

341
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 4: a concept in the Christian faith that's quite beautiful about redemption,

342
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 4: about resurrection. But but at any rate, the the entirety

343
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 4: of the Christian faith, the hinge of it is this moment.

344
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 4: And Christ has a speci message which is one hundred

345
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 4: and eighty degrees opposite the message of these fanatics who

346
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 4: have hijacked that message as surely as Osama bin Laden

347
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 4: and all of the Solifists have hijacked the crime.

348
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 3: Same thing.

349
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, on great point. Well, it is that big of

350
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 2: a story, and it missed almost every single Sunday news.

351
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 2: Let even know, this tweet came out at what was

352
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 2: it like, six o'clock in the morning, seven o'clock in

353
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 2: the morning, before the Sunday dailies actually happened, this power

354
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 2: plant tweet. Jake Tapper, I believe did the best job

355
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 2: covering in all the Sundays, one of only two people

356
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:55,959
Speaker 2: to mention it. We'll get to what Fox said in

357
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 2: just a second, because they glossed over this.

358
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: They meet the press.

359
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: Kristen Walker was actually really good about this because she

360
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 2: was able to tie it into another subject.

361
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: So those are our stars of the week. They all

362
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: get d's. By the way.

363
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 2: We'll get to the scorecard in a second as well.

364
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 2: But I give Jake Tapper a little credit this weekend.

365
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 3: Dude.

366
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 2: As much as I don't like Jake Tapper, he dropped

367
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 2: the hard f on a Sunday morning show on Easter Sunday.

368
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 1: Let's watch this together. Yeah, no longer.

369
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 7: He has just threatened Iran in extraordinary graphic terms, giving

370
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 7: the Iranian regime just over a day to either make

371
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 7: a deal, reopen the strait of horror moves, or face hell.

372
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 7: If your children are watching, be warned the President did

373
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 7: not use polite language. Quote Tuesday will be power plant

374
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 7: Day and bridge Day all wrapped up in one in Iran.

375
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 3: There will be nothing like it.

376
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 7: Open the fucking straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be

377
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 7: living in hell.

378
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 3: Just watch.

379
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 7: We should note that destroying civilian power infrastructure is generally

380
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 7: considered to constitute a war crime under international law, though

381
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 7: the President could argue that the infrastructure has dual use

382
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 7: and also is utilized by Iran's military.

383
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 2: I mean, what do you say the first time I've

384
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 2: heard an F bomb on Fox and I don't like

385
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,719
Speaker 2: he said, I don't like Jake Tapper, but full Marx

386
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 2: for them reading it, I mean, you want that effect, right, thoughts.

387
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 3: It's not.

388
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 4: Their job to sanitize what Trump has written or what

389
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 4: Trump has said. And I can't tell you how many

390
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 4: times I've been on media shows, programs, on corporate television

391
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 4: programs where I've been asked the question to interpret what

392
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 4: Trump is doing with some version.

393
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 3: Of why is he doing that? I don't know.

394
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 4: I'm not a psychiatrist. I have no idea why he's

395
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 4: doing it. I can tell you what the outcome of

396
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 4: his doing it will be. I can tell you about

397
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 4: the consequence of it. But I'm not really interested this

398
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 4: whole debate over Trump that has gone through this prism

399
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 4: of well, should we take Trump's seriously or literally?

400
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 3: How about both?

401
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 4: You take someone literally and seriously. It was a co

402
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 4: end of that many nuclear weapons, and you look at

403
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 4: this statement in an era of indifference where it's impossible

404
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 4: to shock anyone, but that ought to shock people. And

405
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 4: a question for you on the Sunday shows. Did anybody

406
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 4: ask a question of any official on any show of

407
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 4: imagining what it would look like if we were to

408
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 4: bomb every power plant in every facility? Are we going

409
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 4: to bomb dams in Iran? Are we going to bomb

410
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 4: every bridge and being a bomb every tunnel? Did anyone

411
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,479
Speaker 4: talk about the logistics of it, the specifics of it,

412
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 4: the consequences of any of it?

413
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: Not a chance.

414
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 3: No.

415
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 2: And the closest we got was Kristen Welker, Meet the Press.

416
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 2: She was interviewing Senator Tim Kaine. Let's play this clip, Mike.

417
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 2: This is as close as we got.

418
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: What you said, folks, And so I hope that White House.

419
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 4: I doubt the president will, but please dial back to rhetoric,

420
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 4: because you.

421
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 7: Don't need to put people like these pilots more at

422
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 7: risk by the rhetoric that you use.

423
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:17,479
Speaker 3: Well, you raise the rhetoric.

424
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 5: Let me ask you about some of the President's rhetoric

425
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 5: this morning posting on social open Ye you blank, bastards?

426
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 3: Do you? Yeah?

427
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: You want to ask that question before we get.

428
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 4: To Does he not understand that he's in the United

429
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 4: States Senate?

430
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 3: Why is he talking about?

431
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 4: Please dial down the rhetoric. Twelve years into this. Really,

432
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 4: that's why you think you should please dial down the rhetoric.

433
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 3: It's outlandish.

434
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: Why explain why, Because the.

435
00:26:55,320 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 4: Moment requires political duty. Political leadership requires, in this moment,

436
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 4: the ability to go out there and to explicate to

437
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 4: the nation the clear danger that is manifested by the

438
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 4: insanity of the comments. And so when when Tim Kane talks,

439
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 4: this should not be in abstractions. We had two American

440
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 4: pilots who were shot down over Iran, and many more

441
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 4: put into harm's way to rescue them, and should any

442
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 4: of them be captured, all of the rhetoric such as

443
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 4: this instance, in that instance, in this instance, in that instance,

444
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 4: or a justification the Iranians can use to torture and.

445
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 3: To abuse.

446
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 4: In violation at the Geneva Conventions, since Pete Hagsath and

447
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 4: Donald Trump routinely disparage those very conventions.

448
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 3: John McCain was such a stickler for all of.

449
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 4: These issues on the human rights side because he was

450
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 4: someone who was in a mili aquainted with torture and

451
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 4: the United States should always stand for human rights, human liberty,

452
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 4: human values. And so what Trump is promising is a

453
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 4: Tokyo Firebombing's what he's promising is a Dresden except this

454
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 4: is an undeclared war and this has no justification whatsoever.

455
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 4: And now we wait and so Trump will either back

456
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 4: out of this position or the United States will do

457
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 4: as he said he's going to do and commit a

458
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 4: tremendous war crime that will have been announced on Easter Sunday. Mmm,

459
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 4: well that's what That's what will happen, will either or no.

460
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 4: I mean my bet would be he's in a back down.

461
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Taco Trump, I think that's everybody's bed. Caught the

462
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 2: eye of Pope Leo though Easter Sunday gave us Easter

463
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 2: Sunday service.

464
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: I got a clip to play for you because.

465
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 2: What this is also doing, and this was also not

466
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 2: covered the Pope's east like like absolutely devastating comments about

467
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 2: Donald Trump and the people waging war. This is, you know,

468
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 2: on the back of a few days earlier saying, oh,

469
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 2: by the way, I'm not going to hear your prayers.

470
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 2: Jd Vance, Pete Hesith Donald Trump. But we've got a

471
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 2: brewing civil war between Catholics and Christians in the United

472
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 2: States coming.

473
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in just a second.

474
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 2: But to your point, the Pope himself Chicago born Robert

475
00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 2: Francis Privo, who is now Pope Leo an American hope

476
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 2: we'll get into what those details and why, why they

477
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 2: mean something right now and why he was chosen for

478
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 2: this moment if you are to believe the cardinals that

479
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 2: put him in that position.

480
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: But this is what he said during his Easter service.

481
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: It's it is in Latin.

482
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 2: You're gonna have a hard time listening to it, but

483
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 2: it is dubbed with English. Have a listen to this

484
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 2: because he's declaring war on Donald Trump's war watches.

485
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 5: Allow ourselves to be amazed, that allow our hearts to

486
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 5: be transformed for.

487
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 2: Us, Let those who have weapons the power to unleash

488
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 2: wars not.

489
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: A piece imposed but through dial.

490
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 4: With the desire to dominate others, but to encounter themmpression.

491
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 2: Words from Pop Leo right, I mean he is full face, uh,

492
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 2: taking on the Trump regime. He is standing up for

493
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: what Christ was the original intention behind. You know, love

494
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 2: his patient, love his kind. It does not boast, it

495
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 2: has no envy. If anybody is familiar with the Book

496
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 2: of Corinthians and that First Corinthians verse in First Corinthians,

497
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 2: you understand and I grew up in this, so I

498
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 2: intimately understand it that Christ was a pacifier. Christ was

499
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,959
Speaker 2: a peacemaker. Christ washed the feet of the needy. Christ

500
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 2: fed those who were hungry. He did not wage war.

501
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 2: In fact, he told everybody the opposite. And I watched

502
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 2: Pope Leo, and I am not Catholic, and I full

503
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 2: transparency am agnostic leaning atheist, but I grew up in

504
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 2: the in the Christian Church, and I understand these Catholic

505
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 2: values to be the bread and butter of what Christianity

506
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 2: was based on. We have a very divergent opportunity to

507
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 2: talk about here in the United States because as you

508
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 2: understand it, as I understand it, as we are watching

509
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 2: Pete Hegseth wage war against the Catholic Church, against the

510
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 2: people of a and they are literally taking evangelical Christianity

511
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 2: and putting it above the fray as a Christian nationalist country.

512
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 2: That all show told every Catholic for these Eastern masses

513
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 2: at the Pentagon, including those service members serving in the

514
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 2: US Army, there will be no services for Catholics this weekend.

515
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 2: You are not invited to our Easter Sunday service. Only

516
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 2: evangelical Christians are allowed to those Eastern Sunday services.

517
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: So what we now have, Steve and a lot your

518
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: thoughts on this.

519
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 2: Everybody uses the word civil war with with with way

520
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 2: too much frequency. But if you want to look at

521
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 2: the Catholic Church and the Evangelical Christian Church as dictated

522
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 2: by America, we have a brewing civil war between these

523
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 2: two of the biggest faiths, most powerful faiths, and most

524
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 2: powerful churches in the world.

525
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, you and I hang out in real life, and

526
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 4: you know, we've been at dinner together a bunch of times, obviously,

527
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 4: and you get into these political discussions and arguments, and

528
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 4: I was just thinking about as your questions coming together

529
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 4: and just laying all this out. Is a couple of

530
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 4: years ago, I was I was out of dinner with

531
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 4: some friends and I made a couple of points. You know,

532
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 4: there were there were a bunch of different religions represented,

533
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 4: and there were some Jews there, and I talked about

534
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 4: the coming tide of anti Semitism and made specific reference

535
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 4: to how every Jew I get really cares about Israel's

536
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 4: future and the moral integrity of the state would really

537
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 4: come to regret the association with the Mike Huckabee wing

538
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 4: of the MAGA movement of that of that that Christian Zionist, evangelical, authoritarian,

539
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 4: Republican that's a real that's a real that's a real

540
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 4: noxious element in life. And they just kind of looked

541
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 4: at me like I had a horn in my head,

542
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 4: didn't even know what I was talking about. And then

543
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 4: there were a bunch of Catholics at the table, and

544
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 4: I grew up Catholic and talked about how incompatible all

545
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 4: this snake handling pastor Paula Pete hagsas crazy whack job pastor,

546
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 4: all of it is with Catholicism, and talked about how

547
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:35,240
Speaker 4: there had been a great deal of anti Catholic sentiment

548
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 4: in the country that was rampant, that was real, that

549
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 4: existed in a lot of ways, that was very tangible,

550
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 4: but not during our lifetimes. Really, John Kennedy elected as

551
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 4: a Catholic was an astounding thing to many people in

552
00:34:55,800 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 4: nineteen sixty, you know. But you're seeing a re emergency

553
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 4: of it, and you're seeing a provocation because for whatever

554
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 4: reason right now, despite the poll numbers, MAGA is flexing

555
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 4: its muscle in these regards, whether it's out of a

556
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 4: sense the time is short, which which it is politically

557
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:25,800
Speaker 4: or a feeling that the time is now. Pastor Paula

558
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 4: and all of these people have become much more assertive,

559
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 4: much more aggressive, much more demanding of late and and

560
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 4: it should be noted because what they represent is not

561
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 4: Christianity but a evil political dogmatism.

562
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 3: UH has as it Savior at.

563
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 4: The front and center of their evil faith, Donald Trump, and.

564
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 2: You know, I listened to you kind of walk through

565
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 2: how Christianity, that kind of evangelical Christianity, and let's just

566
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 2: leave you know, let's leave Christians out of it, Let's

567
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 2: leave Catholics out of it. Let's take it to the extremes,

568
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 2: because the extremes always misrepresent the whole. Right, my parents

569
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 2: are Christians, grew up in a Christian family. This is

570
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 2: Pete Hegseth and not you know, in the announcement that

571
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 2: nobody was going to be allowed to attend these Catholic services,

572
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:29,439
Speaker 2: these Christian services on Christian on the holiest of Christian days,

573
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,959
Speaker 2: these Easter weekends and the holy services in and around

574
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 2: the Pentagon. That's Doug Wilson, who he himself is Pete

575
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 2: Hegseith's pastor and said Catholic shouldn't be allowed anywhere near

576
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,240
Speaker 2: levers of power this weekend. They shouldn't be allowed to

577
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 2: be a religion. They shouldn't be allowed to do what

578
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 2: they do. And I'll explain to you why, because when

579
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 2: I grew up in the Christian Faith and the Evangelical Faith,

580
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 2: you go to youth group, you go to Sunday School,

581
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 2: and they have these apologetics conversations. Steve, and these apologetics

582
00:36:55,960 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 2: conversations were really just arming you to basically tell everybody

583
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 2: else except for your faith, that they're all cults. And

584
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 2: Catholicism was right up there with Mormonism and Jehovah's Witnesses.

585
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 2: They viewed in the Evangelical Church and still do. It's

586
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 2: a real quiet thing because the Christian community, everybody's like,

587
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 2: I'm Christian, I'm Catholic. No, Evangelical Christians only believe they're Christians.

588
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 2: They believe everybody else is in some cult with a

589
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 2: fucked up Bible or a different set of scriptures that

590
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 2: have been written by Satan. That is what the Evangelical

591
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 2: Church truly does believe, which is fascinating. The Evangelical Church

592
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,919
Speaker 2: also adds a monetary value to absolutely everything they do,

593
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 2: So you've got your fear porn in there, and then

594
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 2: you've got your grift. And to your point, Donald Trump's

595
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 2: lead faith advisor this weekend literally spent the entire Easter

596
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 2: weekend if she wasn't at the White House, saying Trump

597
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 2: is the king just like Jesus was the king. And

598
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 2: Trump is persecuted, just like Jesus was persecuted. And Trump

599
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 2: is sacrificed, just as Jesus is sacrificed. She also put

600
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 2: this video out and I want you to watch it.

601
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 2: It really drives the point home about the entire purpose

602
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 2: behind why evangelical Christianity is the official cult of the

603
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 2: White House.

604
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 1: But let's watch this together. This is Paula this weekend.

605
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: Watch this.

606
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 6: Giving is such a big part of our walk as

607
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 6: a Christian because nothing really ever happens without sacrifice. So

608
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 6: I'm going to ask you today stand with us at

609
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,920

610
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 6: and boy do we ever do ministry. I stand in

611

00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 2: that cleaned out the guitarist, the guitarist of Journey of

628
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 2: all their money too.

629
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 4: So God, yeah, you have to appreciate in this is

630
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 4: the theology of the Confederacy. Yeah, this is gallan tree

631
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 4: of a Stonewall Jackson who was who was a five

632
00:39:56,040 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 4: star religious zalad. This is this is is the faith

633
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 4: of Alexander Stevens who wrote the cornerstone speech of the Confederacy,

634
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 4: the idea of the Slave Republic or Gained by God.

635
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 4: These are the lineal descendants of the Southern pastors that.

636
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 3: Martin Luther King.

637
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 4: Rebukes in his famous letter. These are grifters and frogs.

638
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 4: These are the descendants of Kemmy Fay and Jim Baker.

639
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 4: This is a person involved with the faith healer Benny

640
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 4: Hen And look, all of this religious whack jobbery has

641
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 4: always existed in America and we have to let it exist.

642
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 4: That's what the First Amendment allows. This is the state

643
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 4: just has no no role here. I stood earlier in

644
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 4: my curty story. I you know, I was in Kentucky

645
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 4: and I said, in the back of a rattlesnake handling church, right,

646
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 4: I mean it was far out.

647
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:18,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

648
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 4: First Amendment gives that person the right, if that's how

649
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 4: they want to worship God, to hold up the rattlesnake

650
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 4: to their face, and if God is with them, he

651
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 4: won't bite. And if he's not, then he's gonna think

652
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 4: it and knock himself out. Live in live and let live.

653
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:35,439
Speaker 3: Right.

654
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 4: This is liberty, yep, right, this is this is a

655
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 4: free country. But the problem with Pastor Paula and all

656
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,760
Speaker 4: of these drifting whack jobs is that they have entered

657
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 4: a political sphere, a public sphere where they are trying

658
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 4: to impose their insanities on.

659
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 3: All of us.

660
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 4: And it has to be a post because it's insane.

661
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 4: It leads to evil, and these people are as fraudulent

662
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 4: as any fraudulent people have ever been.

663
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 3: They could they could be not more flim flammery incredible.

664
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's it's it's wild. It's like a trip

665
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 2: down memory lane. It's funny. You know, even when I

666
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 2: watch the Haka Haka Haka hakau or I see that

667
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 2: grifting video I'm taking back, taking back to my childhood

668
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 2: with the James Dobson focus on the family tapes that

669
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 2: had a fundraiser at the end. You could send a check, right,

670
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 2: send a check to me and Bob Larson. They remember

671
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 2: Bob Larsen, the radio guy that used to do live exorcisms,

672
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 2: and he's like, this has only happen and this is

673
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,240
Speaker 2: only possible if you send me a thousand dollars right now.

674
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 2: And then he'd have some some screaming and yelling in

675
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:55,240
Speaker 2: the background.

676
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: It was like radio theater.

677
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,320
Speaker 2: This is this is mega religious theater, and that mega

678
00:42:59,320 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 2: religious theater.

679
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: They're draping the entire war and Iran in it. Right,

680
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: it's a holy war.

681
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 2: Pete Hegseith put A, you know, an army insignia above across.

682
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: He has risen and we are coming.

683
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 2: This is a tweet that he put out this weekend,

684
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 2: and that was an affront to what was going on

685
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 2: in Iran.

686
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: Competing stories.

687
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 2: This is our last story, by the way, which got

688
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 2: no coverage on any of these mainstream media outlets as well.

689
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,240
Speaker 2: And when I say no coverage, I mean I mentioned

690
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 2: here a conversation there. But other than that, you know,

691
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 2: if you're not watching Fox News and they're talking about

692
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 2: this amazing daring rescue in the United States of two

693
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 2: potential POWs that they spent two C one thirties multiple

694
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 2: aircraft trying to retrieve from some mountain crevice in southern Iran,

695
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 2: thirty five kilometers away from the earth Shawn nuclear facility,

696
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 2: which you know, we'll get to that in.

697
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: Just a second. That's an interesting point.

698
00:43:54,880 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 2: But what we watched was the herculean effort going into

699
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,280
Speaker 2: because it is a holy war, to go and save

700
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 2: this man, herculean effort which caused countless military losses in

701
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,280
Speaker 2: terms of equipment this weekend retrieving this you know, weapons

702
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 2: system officer from this F fifteen that allegedly went down

703
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 2: over southern Iran.

704
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:17,439
Speaker 1: A couple of days ago.

705
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:21,359
Speaker 2: It's actually an incredible story, so many good parts to it,

706
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 2: if indeed that is the story. But let's juxtapose that

707
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 2: you mentioned John McCain earlier with something Trump said in

708
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen about John McCain. Let's play this clip, Mike,

709
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 2: if we can. It's coming, promise. I just got the

710
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 2: oldest coverted me.

711
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, And he insulted everybody in that room.

712
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,439
Speaker 4: And I said, somebody should run against John McCain, who

713
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 4: has been, you.

714
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 3: Know, in my opinion, not so hot. And I supported him.

715
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 3: I supported him for president. I raised a million dollars

716
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 3: for him. It's a lot of money. I supported him.

717
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: He lost.

718
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 3: He let us down, but you know he lost.

719
00:44:58,280 --> 00:44:59,959
Speaker 4: So I never liked him as much after that because

720
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 4: I don't like losers.

721
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 3: But Frank, Frank, let me get to him. He hit me.

722
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 3: He's not a war hero. He's a war He's a

723
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 3: war hero because he was captured. I like people that

724
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 3: weren't captured. Okay, I hate to tell you.

725
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: Do you award that.

726
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 3: He's a war hero because he was captured? Okay? You

727
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 3: could have And I believe perhaps he's a war hero.

728
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 3: But right now he said some very bad things about

729
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:24,240
Speaker 3: a lot of people.

730
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 2: So let's couple that with, you know, a tweet from

731
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 2: an Atlantic article, if you remember, Mike, if you could

732
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 2: put this up on the screen, Trump calling vets losers,

733
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 2: not some time ago, losers and suckers, Americans who died,

734
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 2: losers and suckers, depending on what you read in terms

735
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 2: of the intercept or the official which I don't believe

736
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 2: White House count about seven hundred and fifty losers and

737
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 2: suckers so far from the US military have been killed

738
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 2: or injured badly enough to be removed from the theater,

739
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 2: be removed from the Gulf. If you've got seventeen different

740
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 2: bases that have been obliterated in that region as well.

741
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 2: And then you have this disaster or rescue that wasn't

742
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 2: a disaster, where you've lost hundreds of millions, if not

743
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:16,240
Speaker 2: billions of dollars worth of the United States equipment. Hates POWs,

744
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 2: says he likes guys who don't get caught. Trump, if

745
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 2: you remember McCain not a prisoner of war. You know

746
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 2: John McCain very very well. You are aware of everything.

747
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 2: And then Trump calling vets losers, as we see, you know,

748
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 2: these losers and suckers who died and were killed over

749
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 2: the past month, and Trump's military adventurism be misrepresented numerically

750
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 2: as well, right it's supposed to be. I think the

751
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 2: number is probably closer to a thousand. We don't know

752
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 2: the difference of KIA people that were injured killed. As

753
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 2: you pointed out, killed is going to be harder to hide, obviously,

754
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,280
Speaker 2: but a lot of those injuries have gone by the wayside.

755
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 2: These are people that he calls losers and suckers.

756
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: Steve Well, We're going.

757
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 4: To get a handle on what's going on, but we

758
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 4: don't have a handle on what's going on in the

759
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 4: war right now. There's very little transparency around it.

760
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 3: There's bluster.

761
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 4: It's good that the US military does what it does

762
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 4: regarding pulling out all the stops, doing everything that it

763
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 4: conceivably can do to make sure that no one has

764
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 4: ever left behind. And it's wonderful that the American pilot

765
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:37,320
Speaker 4: was rescued and and and and returned to safety. All

766
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 4: all of those things don't don't change a thing about

767
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:46,240
Speaker 4: the fundamental dynamic that we saw coming to focus on

768
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 4: on Easter. That that crystallizes something that we've talked about

769
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 4: over the last couple of shows we've done, which is

770
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 4: that that Trump has a choice, and the choice is

771
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:03,839
Speaker 4: forward or back to two directions, one one lever.

772
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 3: And that's because.

773
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 4: He's a moron, and he's and he's cornered himself. There

774
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 4: there are times in my life where I've had to

775
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 4: say to someone do something or else, and most instances

776
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 4: people have chosen to do the something as opposed to

777
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 4: experience the hor else. And that that's a credible threat.

778
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 4: And no one ever likes to have to deliver an ultimatum.

779
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 4: But Trump is delivered and ultimatum, and so you have

780
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 4: to put yourself now in the Iranian leadership shoes. They

781
00:48:51,320 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 4: have received this ultimatum. The ultimatum is blasphemous towards Christianity

782
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 4: and simultaneously, uh, blasphemous towards Islam. It's insane, it's psychotic,

783
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 4: but but it's not complex.

784
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 3: It's not a riddle, right.

785
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 4: This isn't This isn't a scene from like the movie

786
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 4: Contact where they're trying to decode the alien.

787
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 3: Message.

788
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 4: This is this is This is about whether we're gonna

00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 3: Or no.

791
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 4: We we got two choices. The Iranians cut through choices.

792
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 4: They can they can say yes, or they can tell

793
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:40,800
Speaker 4: them the fuck off.

794
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 2: They just did in no uncertain terms all day yesterday,

795
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:46,240
Speaker 2: like all day with Lego videos and words.

Speaker 4: Right, So the Iranian response is delivered, and.

807
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,839
Speaker 4: and so so help me god, I mean, I'll I'll

808
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 4: go to my grave on this one. Is the the

809
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 4: accountability season, right, You can't there's no more space to pretend.

810
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 3: About any of this stuff anymore.

811
00:50:51,160 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 4: You can't hang back and be certain about what's going

812
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 4: to happen and not say.

813
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 3: It out loud.

814
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

815
00:50:57,160 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, well said, well said. Some of the people are

816
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 2: saying some other thing. I want to end with this,

817
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 2: you know, And this is postulation. These are not predictions

818
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 2: based on anything other than how erratic Donald Trump is

819
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 2: his legacy being he wants his ewoga moment. Can you

820
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 2: bring up the Rachel Scott tweet and then we'll get

821
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 2: to Aaron Ruppar's sweet erin. By the way, everybody needs

822
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 2: to follow Aaron Ruppar public notice here on substack, anywhere

823
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:22,760
Speaker 2: you can find it. It does an incredible job. Rachel

824
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 2: Scott puts this out about being told basically, nothing's off

825
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 2: the table. She had a conversation with Donald Trump over

826
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 2: the weekend. Nothing and I mean nothing, very little is

827
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,600
Speaker 2: off the table. And we're starting to see the you know,

828
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 2: in terms of how to deal with the RAN, in

829
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 2: terms of what they plan on doing.

830
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 1: You pointed out, you go or you don't go.

831
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 2: RAN's already said, hey, you can do whatever you want

832
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 2: by APM Easter time on Tuesday. Go fuck yourself. We're

833
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 2: not opening up the straight Go fuck yourself. We're gonna

834
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 2: continue to attack you and all your partners in the region.

835
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter to us. So there was his answer.

836
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 2: So Rachel talks to him and he's like, well, you know,

837
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 2: they got every options on the table. Rupar went a

838
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 2: step further, and I trust Aaron and he's not performative.

839
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,839
Speaker 2: But if you could put this tweet up for me, Mike,

840
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 2: Aaron Rupar's tweet. There's there's increasing talk and it's not

841
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 2: just Aaron. There are you know, military minds that are

842
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 2: talking about how they don't doubt that there might be

843
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:24,360
Speaker 2: some type of nuclear option, and I mean nuclear in

844
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 2: the literal sense of the word for Donald Trump. You

845
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 2: and I had a quick chat about it yesterday in

846
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 2: our comms meeting we were prepping for this. I brought

847
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 2: it up, and I'm like, it's an outlier, but I

848
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 2: mean it's Donald Trump and he'll do anything. I mean,

849
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 2: he's burning a fucking country and an empire to the

850
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:45,840
Speaker 2: ground just to save his ass. It stands to reason

851
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,879
Speaker 2: to me in my mind, that's saying nothing is off

852
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,720
Speaker 2: the table includes some type of nuclear option.

853
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 3: Your thoughts, well, I certainly hope not.

854
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 4: It's it's unimaginable on many different levels, and he would

855
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 4: throw the world into chaos.

856
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: I can't believe we're talking about it.

857
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 4: You yeah, yeah, but but we should again. Uh, every

858
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 4: day something is said somewhere by these people and you

859
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 4: have to evaluate it.

860
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 3: You have to.

861
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 4: You have to evaluate what comes out of the mouth

862
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 4: of Pete Hegsath and so when Pete Hegseth goes and

863
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:38,240
Speaker 4: he gives a speech and he talks about we want MacArthur's,

864
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 4: we want Chesty Pollers, and Chesty Poller the most decorated

865
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:46,800
Speaker 4: marine officer in in history, a legend in the Marine

866
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 4: Corps of the fighting spirit. But when you when you

867
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 4: think about MacArthur, MacArthur famously relieved by Democratic President Truman

868
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 4: in Korea. What MacArthur wanted to do was to escalate

869
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 4: a ward. Wanted to use atomic weapons, wanted to use

870
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 4: them on the on the Chinese, and the use of

871
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 4: weapons as a first strike is something that was hotly

872
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 4: debated as part of American doctrine. And so there's been

873
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:19,760
Speaker 4: a lot of careless talk about the use of these

874
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 4: weapons by a lot of people that until pretty recently

875
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:27,239
Speaker 4: would have been considered whack jobs and never would have

876
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 4: been in any proximity to any decision making tree that

877
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 4: ever would have involved involved their release whatsoever. You know,

878
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 4: And there's a there's a great there's kind of a

879
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 4: great story here about some of this where it all

880
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 4: comes together, and you know, if I can and take

881
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 4: a minute or two to tell, but you know, during

882
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:54,280
Speaker 4: during the First World War, Harry Truman was an artillery officer,

883
00:54:54,960 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 4: and he fought and uh he was appalled, hauled by

884
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:07,240
Speaker 4: the war profiteering that took place rampantly in the United States.

885
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 3: And as a senator.

886
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 4: He became famous as the chair of the Truman Commission.

887
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 4: And the Truman Commission's job was to stamp out war profiteering.

888
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 4: Harry Harry Truman, whose very very close friend was the

889
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 4: Speaker of the House, Sam Rayburn, who was one of

890
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 4: the very very few people in the government who knew

891
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 4: about the Manhattan Project, and and and Sam Rayburn stashed

892
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:40,919
Speaker 4: all of the money, hid it in the appropriations while

893
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 4: his friend Harry Truman is trying to hunt it down.

894
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:48,800
Speaker 4: Billion here, billionaire, you think about the immensity of the budget,

895
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 4: the obs vocations, the the you know, deliberate lying, the evasions, right,

896
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,280
Speaker 4: it's hard to It's hard to get at. And Truman,

897
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 4: of course, is with Sam Rayburn. On April the twelfth,

898
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 4: as FDR dies, he famously returns to the to the

899
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:14,280
Speaker 4: White House and Eleanor Roosevelt greets him there and says, Harry,

900
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 4: the President is dead. And Harry Truman famously says, is

901
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:21,799
Speaker 4: there anything I can do for you?

902
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 3: And Eleanor.

903
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:26,359
Speaker 4: Roosevelt replies, no, mister President, is there anything I can

904
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 4: do for you? And he says he feels like the world,

905
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 4: all the stars, the moons, the heavens had landed.

906
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 3: On his shoulders.

907
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 4: And he finds out about a few days later about

908
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 4: this secret program, this project, this weapon under development. He

909
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 4: learns about it the successful test at the Potsdam conference,

910
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 4: and he never hesitates to use the to use the

911
00:56:55,320 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 4: weapon first at Hiroshima and then at Nagasaki. Not so

912
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 4: commonly known is the Japanese war cabinet and the Emperor

913
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 4: had never spoken. No one had heard the emperor speak

914
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 4: in a cabinet meeting for some six hundred years. And

915
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 4: the government is there, the Emperor is there, and the

916
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 4: war cabinet took a vote after the second atomic bomb

917
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 4: on whether to surrender or not, and the result of

918
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 4: the vote was split.

919
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 3: It was Tai Tai vote.

920
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 4: And finally one of the ministers looked at the Emperor

921
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 4: and asked the Emperor to break, to break the Thai vote.

922
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 4: And this bombing of the tube atomic bombs that flat

923
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 4: in the two cities was not the most lethal bombing

924
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 4: of the war. That was the fire bombing of Tokyo

925
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 4: over the Knights of March ninth intent they were the

926
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 4: deadliest knights in human history, and seeing the history of civilization,

927
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 4: these are the greatest knights of killing and in the

928
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 4: annals of human history. And so what was understood for

929
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 4: eighty years in Niki tok Khrushchev had been at Stalingrad.

930
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 4: Who's sitting opposite John Kennedy over the Cuban missile crisis

931
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 4: was that there was not lithe talk about the use

932
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 4: of these weapons. Is that is that Reagan and Gorbachroff

933
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 4: share this vision about reducing nuclear weapons. Right the debate

934
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 4: in America over the Cold War about whether to deploy

935
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:48,640
Speaker 4: weapons to Europe as deterrents, all of it, the entire debate,

936
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 4: all sides of it.

937
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 3: No one talked loosely.

938
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 4: In any position of political responsibility ever about the use

939
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 4: of a nuclear weapon, certainly not in the United States.

940
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 4: But this is the language of a rogue actor, of

941
00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 4: a rogue state, the language of a North Korea, not

942
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 4: a country with the world's most potent nuclear arsenal and

943
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 4: deterrence structure. And when you hear Donald Trump talk about

944
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 4: this in the manner that he's talking about it, every

945
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:38,880
Speaker 4: single political leader, every president, Republican and Democrat, for the

946
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 4: entirety of the nuclear age. So from Harry Truman through

947
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 4: Barack Obama, Joe Biden, every president understands or would have

948
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 4: understood how deeply dark and dangerous it is with Donald

949
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 4: Trump is saying and it's just unacceptable.

950
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, well said, makes you wonder why Steve sorry, Steve Hegseth,

951
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 2: Pete Hegseth purged basically everybody in a position to stop

961
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:44,560
