It was a lovely SUV, an inexplicably queenly offer. They're even coming to the castle to collect it. Tonight, we feast. An offer you can feast on. Sell your car today on Carvana. Pick up these mail. Bye.
0:35We want to point out the difference between the right and the left and the political landscape. On the left, the people who are considered the most extreme fight for something called democratic socialism, which actually would go help people earn a dignified livable wage and not have to file for medical bankruptcy in the world's richest country. On the right, their extremists have become mainstream. And these, of course, are the psychotic evil Christian nationalists. And this guy has hundreds of thousands of followers. He is a MAGA pastor. His name is Joel Webin. And I want you guys to listen to this bat shit statement.
1:14Play the clip. Judges who dissented, again, Jackson, Kagan, Sotomayor, all three of them women. One of them, Kagan, is a Jew. And Sotomayor is a second generation Puerto Rican immigrant. What we need, if we're going to succeed as a nation, we need many things. First and foremost, we need repentance of our sin and turning in faith to the Lord Jesus Christ. But in terms of practicalities, political solutions, we need men in office. We need them not to be Jewish or Islamic or anything else but Christian men in office. And we need them to be American Christian men in office. I have a dream, brothers and sisters.
1:54It's a simple dream. I don't feel like it's that big of an ask. What a prick. You know, I watch this and I think this is, there's no difference in this and Sharia law. It's just dressed up differently. Men, no gays. We want everybody. No Jews. No Jews. I mean, it's unbelievable to me that this is happening in the United States and people are not just appalled. But here's one thing, like you can see a lot of white country club Republicans and even, you know, fanatical Christians watching this, men watching this and going, yes. But what pumps and I know from living in the Bible Belt, a lot of women would see this and say, yes, I agree.
2:37We shouldn't have a woman as president. Women are too emotional, which I've never seen anybody more emotional in my life than the aggrieved titty baby president taco tits whines. He's an emotional basket case. All right, moving along. Next up, we have representative Mary Miller, and she says that she's fighting evil by doing this in Congress. The other thing I came out with the mission, which was the same when I was in Illinois, and that is, I believe God's left us on earth as believers to overcome evil with good. And Pride Month, in my opinion, evil. The left hijacked it to promote gender confusion, to promote indecency, hypersexualizing our children, and actually grooming our children.
3:25So I decided I'm going to reclaim it for the family. So she wants to turn Pride Month into Family Month and somebody needs to go tell her that LGBTQI plus people are members of families. They are members of families that aren't assholes like you. And here's something I want to point out from the first video to this video. The Republican Party is very anti-Semitic and they never get called out for it. Instead, the onus falls on college kids who see a genocide occurring in Gaza and her standing up for human rights, which is a very normal thing that people do. And then this bitch sitting here, just hatred and homophobia all in the name of her religion.
4:11I mean, it's just absolutely abhorrent. But I want to tell you guys, pumps can attest to this. There are schools all over the United States of America that are these evangelical Christian schools where parents think they want their kids to get a Christian education. They're taught exactly what this woman says and their parents pay for it to make sure they're indoctrinated in this level of hatred towards the LGBTQ plus community. Well, and this woman, here she is completely in on the patriarchy as a member of Congress, criticizing people that are different than her. Again, I go back to, we want to be in control.
4:46I mean, this group, MAGA, they want to control everything and everything is going to be under a white male because the Bible is patriarchal, full stop. And they think that they have the right to judge gay people. They think it's their God-given right. Well, and it's interesting to me that somebody could be a student of a faith or engaged in a faith because I'm not, I'm an atheist. And it's interesting to me that you have large swaths of people and their focus of their faith is promoting white men and their wealth and demeaning anybody else instead of, oh my gosh, look at these refugees at the border with babies strapped to their backs.
5:29I mean, you would have to be in a dire situation to strap your baby on your back with just a few personal items and a bottle of water and, you know, with your feet and your tennis issues and rolling the dice and hoping that somebody shows you grace and welcoming. And these people, these religious people don't see that. They see them as inhuman. And it's just such a disgrace. And I can say I wasn't raised with religion, but being raised around and all of my peers being evangelical Christians, it made me thank God that I don't believe in, that my mother didn't indoctrinate me because these people in everyday life are just as cruel as these people say.
6:14At the end of the day, you hook them up to truth serum and a polygraph. They think gay people are evil. They think immigrants are less than human. It's a huge cancer in this country. And the Democrats have got to start attacking the hypocritical faith of these MAGA Christians because it is so dangerous and it is a death cult. All right, next up we have bat shit crazy former Congresswoman Michelle Bachman, and here she is with some insane, anti-Semitic, apocalyptic fantasy. We are living in the times that the Bible said that the prophets longed to see. The prophets of the Bible wanted to be alive now.
6:59When you and I are alive, they wanted to be alive because of what would happen, what was going to happen. because it was very clear from the very beginning of the Bible, God gave a special purpose to the Jewish people. So there it is right there. They want the Jews to be in Israel for the rapture. There is a huge component of the Republican Party and always has been, even predates MAGA, that wants the Jews to be in Israel so that Jesus Christ can come back and condemn the Jews to hell forever. They're props for them. They're props. And the problem with the Israeli government, the current government, is they know these people are dipshits, but they take the money.
7:44And then you have this corrupt government like Benjamin Netanyahu. But to me, how disrespectful to the Jewish race who fell prey to genocide to then say, yeah, get in your positions before our Lord and Savior comes and genocides you for all eternity. I mean, to me, there's nothing more demeaning or dehumanizing than having Jewish people in their places for your apocalyptic fantasy. Well, it's funny because it is the this administration is so anti-Semitic, yet they run around saying they're not anti-Semitic. But clearly they are so anti-Semitic. But I'm just going to tell you, I grew up with rapture prepping like this on every Sunday.
8:28go come in that you know jesus is coming we're gonna have a rapture you need to be in your place the whole night this is they've been saying this for 55 years and the thing is what's so alarming about that is now these people are behind the levers of power right and you've got people speaking in tongues in the parking lot of the white house you have people that are having faith prayer revivals in the White House, speaking in tongues, that grifter and liar, Paula White, who's Trump's faith advisor. And so what's a really interesting thing is you have all these people that claim to be uber Christian who are championing the most bigotry and hateful and cruel regime that this country has seen since slavery.
9:13This is the most regressive thing. And these magical thinkers, people who want to base policy on magical thinking. And I know that some of you all are probably Christian light, but I'm just going to tell you right here, you cannot base policy that affects a country of 350 million who also has the most bombs and guns and all that shit in the world for the whole globe and everybody's safety on these people who are rapture preppers. And they have been planning and raising and indoctrinating and sending people into the government. And they've been playing the long game. What's interesting about this is our adversaries know that these people are the dipshits, and that's how they enter into the American government, a la Vladimir Putin, sending his Russian spies to the prayer breakfast because these people are the most malleable and easy to convince because they believe in the rapture.
10:06All right, next up and last, we have Kat Kerr, a self-proclaimed Trump MAGA prophet. Let's hear what this batshit crazy bitch has to say. The Lord had told me to please let the people know there will be no World War III. Hallelujah. So number one, no matter what's going on or where it's going on, it will not become World War III. I know that's on the mouth of a lot of people and the mind of a lot of people because of all the activity, the fierceness, the battles, the little mini wars going on everywhere. And in between countries, of course, we know Israel is at war right now with Iran. I can probably prophesy that won't last long.
10:50God is definitely on there with his chosen people. I mean, this is just a freak show. It's a total freak show. You know, what's interesting is like, and honestly, until I, you know, growing up, it didn't strike me as odd, but Mike Johnson, this woman, well, God told me like they're having conversations. So you, you just hear it so much, but when you say that out loud and you think about it, it's like, is it schizophrenia? Is it your imagination? Like, why is it that people think they're having imaginary conversations and why aren't we alarmed from jump? These people are con artists. Yeah. I mean, these people are total con artists.
11:31And I also think that they, they've looked at, neurologists have looked at CAT scans of people on drugs and how their brain reacts and they've looked at people high on religion and how their brain reacts. And it's very similar CAT scans. And so you have something in this, on the addiction spectrum called religious addiction and people that are religiously addicted, just like a crackhead would be. And these people are religious crackheads. They are addicted to their religion and it is a damaging, toxic thing in their lives, much like somebody who is addicted to drugs. It is a damaging, toxic thing in their lives.
12:11And it is a problem in the United States of America that operates with impunity. These churches are not taxed. They are indoctrinating generations of people to hate and otherize and dehumanize and demoralize their fellow human beings instead of offering grace and compassion. And all I can say is my on-the-ground experience is, and my mother told me this early in my life, and it has always turned out to be true. The loudest Christians are always the biggest assholes. 10 times out of 10. It has never, ever, ever failed. All right, that's all we have today for this Sunday at church with atheists, Jennifer and Punk.
12:49We hope you have a blessed day.
