WEBVTT - REACTION: Bishop Calls Out Trump and MAGA

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.080
<v Speaker 1>It is day two of the Trump regime, and we're

0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:07.880
<v Speaker 1>going to the chapel. We're really the National Cathedral, because frankly,

0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:12.680
<v Speaker 1>there hasn't been a reaction like we've seen on television

0:00:13.160 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 1>to people going to church since Ambassador Thorne took his

0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Sun damion. This is the warning. There is great offense,

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 1>tremendous grievance playing out across the conservative media. Within just

0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 1>forty eight hours of Donald Trump's ascension. You see, our

0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:42.080
<v Speaker 1>unity has been spoiled by words of division, words about

0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:46.839
<v Speaker 1>mercy that somehow affronted the President of the United States

0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:52.559
<v Speaker 1>in all of his many appendages in the National Cathedral.

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:57.000
<v Speaker 2>In the name of our God, I ask you to

0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 2>have mercy upon the people in our country who we're

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 2>scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic,

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Republican and independent families, some who fear for their lives.

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.400
<v Speaker 2>I ask you to have mercy, mister President, on those

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:23.039
<v Speaker 2>in our communities whose children fear that their parents will

0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:26.280
<v Speaker 2>be taken away, and that you help those who are

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 2>fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands to

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:32.680
<v Speaker 2>find compassion and welcome here.

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.760
<v Speaker 1>He was upset, you can see it on his face

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>the sneering the antagonism, His defenders on television and in

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:47.800
<v Speaker 1>the news media have lashed out in his defense, declaring

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 1>that the words of Jesus Christ expressed by a bishop

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 1>and an inaugural prayer service are an affront to Donald Trump.

0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Scott Jennings laid it out on CNN.

0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 3>These woke Scapalians or Episcowochians or whatever they're calling themselves today,

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 3>this is ridiculous.

0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 4>This was terrible.

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 3>Donald Trump, I'm sure regrets participating in this event today,

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:16.120
<v Speaker 3>to be lectured to and politicized in a church this way,

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 3>and I thought it was frankly a disgrace to what

0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:20.239
<v Speaker 3>they did at this event. I don't know if this

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.720
<v Speaker 3>event will happened ever again. Because of this, this particular

0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 3>bishop took it upon herself to turn this into a

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 3>complete and total circus and spectacle and laura ingram. Rather

0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 3>than a Christian service about God and country, they were

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 3>forced to listen to the rantings of a lunatic.

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 1>And of course, Sean Hannity employing a tactic where her

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:49.239
<v Speaker 1>Excellency's words are defined as deranged.

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 5>She goes on a far left woke tirade in front

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 5>of Donald Trump and jd Vance, their families, their young children.

0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 5>She made the service about her very own deranged political

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:03.640
<v Speaker 5>blos leafs with that with a disgraceful prayer ful of

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 5>fear mongering and division.

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 1>Poor Donald, he's confused because he has been surrounded for

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:16.040
<v Speaker 1>so long now by so many religious hosters who've told

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:20.040
<v Speaker 1>him he's Jesus Christ. He's lost his bearings. When he

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.639
<v Speaker 1>went to church, he thought the sermon would be about him,

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 1>praising him, the man who just declared, with the sickest

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:33.639
<v Speaker 1>and most chilling words ever spoken at a presidential inaugural,

0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 1>that he was saved by God to make us great.

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:41.400
<v Speaker 6>Just a few months ago in a beautiful Pennsylvania field

0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 6>and assassin's bullet ripped through my ear. But I felt then,

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 6>and believe even more so now that my life was

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 6>saved for a reason. I was saved by God to

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 6>make America great again.

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Golden era is upon us. We have the bigcoin preacher

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 1>from Detroit who introduced his big cooin with this, desecrated

0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:13.240
<v Speaker 1>the words of doctor King with his over to top performance.

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:17.360
<v Speaker 7>And when we let freedom ring, we will be able

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:18.720
<v Speaker 7>to speed up that day.

0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 4>All of your.

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:24.919
<v Speaker 7>Children, black men and white men Protestant and Catholic jew

0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 7>in Gentile will be able to sing in the meaning

0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:35.040
<v Speaker 7>of that old Negro spiritual free a last, free a last.

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.920
<v Speaker 7>Thank you God Almighty, we are free a last.

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 1>And of course there is Franklin Graham, a whack job

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:49.240
<v Speaker 1>par excellence really without Pierre, a sinister man, a bigot

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:50.600
<v Speaker 1>of the highest order.

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:54.720
<v Speaker 4>Father. When Donald Trump's enemies thought he was down and out,

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 4>you and you alone saved his life and raised him

0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 4>up with string and power by your mighty hand. We

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:08.680
<v Speaker 4>pray for President Trump that you'll watch over, protect guy,

0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:15.039
<v Speaker 4>direct him, give him your wisdom from your throne on high.

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:17.920
<v Speaker 4>We asked that you would bless him and that our

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:22.120
<v Speaker 4>nation would be blessed through him. We also asked that

0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:25.119
<v Speaker 4>you would bless to protect Millennia as first lady.

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 1>All of them, flatterers of power, kneelers in front of it,

0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 1>all of them, the people who sat behind the tables

0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:41.600
<v Speaker 1>that Christ himself overturned in the Temple. They are the

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:46.120
<v Speaker 1>modern Pharisees, each and every one of them. So it

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 1>was shocking when Donald Trump and his family in the

0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 1>National Cathedral were exposed to a plea from mercy to power.

0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:00.360
<v Speaker 1>They felt affronted by it and attacked by it. But

0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.920
<v Speaker 1>no one attacked them. They were asked to do something,

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:07.720
<v Speaker 1>and they recoiled from it, as if they had been scolded.

0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:11.640
<v Speaker 1>It is as if the bishop threw out some holy

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.520
<v Speaker 1>water and it boiled when it touched them. What is

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:19.360
<v Speaker 1>the offense to plead for mercy? There are people who

0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:22.479
<v Speaker 1>are scared right now? Are we not to acknowledge them?

0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Perhaps acknowledging them means that we must acknowledge what scares them,

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:32.279
<v Speaker 1>which is the constancy of the threats now mixed with

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:36.320
<v Speaker 1>power and a capitulant media that will not tell the

0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:40.920
<v Speaker 1>truth about the obvious. This is the headline for how

0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the world's largest puzzle company covered this. A Nazi salute,

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:50.480
<v Speaker 1>a Roman salute. There is no ambiguity about this. This

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:56.240
<v Speaker 1>is Elon Musk's Italian advisor tweeting out his joy at

0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.920
<v Speaker 1>the spectacle of the return of the Empire, the Roman,

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 1>an empire in the form of the United States, which

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:06.960
<v Speaker 1>is to rule the earth and set into the heavens

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:10.360
<v Speaker 1>under the direction of the man who will be what.

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Watch this again, this manifestation of evil.

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 6>And I just want to say thank you for making

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:18.520
<v Speaker 6>it happen.

0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:19.400
<v Speaker 4>Thank you.

0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 1>This is what the bishop is addressing. What is it

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.480
<v Speaker 1>that's to be done with this sick woman who would

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 1>dare to preach the Gospel of Christ to the President

0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 1>and Vice President of the United States and their family.

0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:41.240
<v Speaker 1>They are so angry at her. See the contempt, see

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 1>the entitlement, the smirks, and the arrogancies. With each plea

0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:53.720
<v Speaker 1>for mercy and tolerance and understanding, there is revulsion, is physical,

0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:57.880
<v Speaker 1>and it is despicable, and it is frightening. But it

0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 1>is a call to arms to make good trouble. The

0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:06.640
<v Speaker 1>great testing crisis is coming in America. Be grateful for it.

0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 1>It's an our time and not in our children's. We

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:14.840
<v Speaker 1>are called, as people who believe in freedom and liberty

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.680
<v Speaker 1>to stand for the proposition of one man, one vote,

0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 1>and for the least amongst us. This is the warning.

0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:28.440
