Trump Leads Terrifying Cult Pledge; RNC Calls For Violence And JD Goes On Racist Rant

0:04Angie Sullivan:All right, night two of Trumpapalooza, and we just have to really accept a lot of our fellow Americans are deep in a diaper cult. Play the clip. Please raise your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States.

0:30That loves us so much. He can't even breathe.

0:37That I will go out with my family, my friends. I'll do it anyway. I don't care if I'm registered or not. I'm going to try and cheat like hell like they do.

0:48Angie Sullivan:Going to cheat like hell. That is so fucking weird. And I just want to say to anybody in the United States that saw all those white women standing behind him that's like these fucking white women. I get it. I mean, that is just what grown adult stands there and does this. Like I loved Obama, still love Obama. I mean, I would know more since he's the greatest president in the United States. It's just, there's nothing even remotely entertaining about this. This will be played in future documentaries about cults. That clip. There's no question. And here's the thing. He even in something like that, which is so fucking stupid on its face, he has to tell everybody he's the greatest president of all time.

1:37And everybody in that audience is just giggling like he is a comedian. It really is. And to your point, the demographic behind him, of which I fall in is the most disappointing demographic on the planet to me personally. They have let us down in every way. Well, and keep in mind, all of these people are Christians, right? So you've got this Christian freak show, a fucking circus going on. You've got everybody professing their love for Jesus, God. And you've got him talking about voting, even if you're not registered or cheating if you have to and then you have them cheering it's it's like you couldn't really make this shit up you you can look at these people and say how are you serious like i i've never felt so disconnected like you could put me on the planet mars around a group of people that lived in mars aliens and i would feel more connected to those people than I would those people.

2:41It's disgusting.

2:43Angie Sullivan:It's absolutely horrific. And sadly, all three of us from living in Oklahoma, and we know people just like this. And it is an absolute cult. And they mask all of their immorality. They wrap it up in Christianity that somehow that justifies everything that they're doing. And I think there's something I'm not versed super well in the Bible, but I think there's something about worshiping false idols. So isn't that right on its face kind of blasphemous? I mean, I don't buy into all that shit, but I mean, that just seems really weird. Moving along. Speaking of crazy Christians, the Christian nationalist takeover continues at the convention.

3:22Angie Sullivan:Play the clip.

3:29Oh, for fuck's sake. And on June 14th, 1946, God looked down on his planned paradise and said, I need a caretaker. So God gave us Trump.

3:40Angie Sullivan:Jesus Christ. That is not real. Ryan, is that real? Oh my God, you guys. I have not seen that until just now. That cannot, that is played on national television. That's the Republican Party. And the dichotomy of that, which we've talked about on this podcast before, is that he's not perfect. He makes mistakes. Oh, the imperfect vessel. The imperfect vessel. Is that what it is? That's what they say. God sent us an imperfect vessel. And the thing is, is they're willing to forgive him anything because they forgive their pastors anything. Okay, answer this for me. Okay. Because you were all deep into this.

4:31Angie Sullivan:Deep. A decade ago. Ass deep into this shit. If God is perfect and doesn't make mistakes, and he knows everything, why does he send an imperfect vessel instead of a perfect vessel? Can you explain that to me like I'm five? Because if I was the creator of the universe, everybody would be like, I'm going to send a perfect vessel because I'm going to put my best foot forward. Why are we sending the imperfect vessel? when we can actually do perfection. Okay, Jennifer, that's a very valid point. But the answer to that is, if you indoctrinate people and tell them that critical thinking, it's a violation of their faith, and that if you don't have faith, you'll go to hell, they just gloss over that one.

5:14It's just a gloss over. And I want to re-up what I had yesterday twice, I think, which is that these people, they ain't splitting the atom anytime. time. Josh, I thought about that all day yesterday. They're just not. And it's just whatever it is, whether they're smart, but yet they're part of this cult and it's the religion, whatever element of it is, it's batshit fucking crazy. Whatever they're in, I want no part of. Okay.

5:41Angie Sullivan:So this next clip, you guys, really encapsulates what we're all talking about here, this crazy Christian problem that America has that has not been addressed. We got all of the crazy Christians in this country, and they are so insecure about their faith that they feel like they have a need to project it onto everybody else to mask all of the critical thinking questions that they have that they've been told, that's blasphemy, that's, you know, you're betraying God, et cetera. But in this movement, you have Jesus, who was this radical empath, by all definitions, what would be considered a socialist, if you will, opposed the accumulation of wealth, wanted to help the downtrodden, the prostitutes, the poor people, the sick people, all of that stuff.

6:32Angie Sullivan:So you have this, you know, we're so pro-Jesus, but at the epicenter of it, they feast on cruelty, recreational cruelty. And there is a lot of hellfire damnation in this movement, very punitive. And if you think about this psychologically, their God that they worship, if they think about that, like, did Noah really put all those animals on the ark? That sounds kind of crazy. They're told that's a sin. You're not being loyal to God, and God will punish you. So they worship a punitive God. So a reaction to that psychologically is for them they themselves to be punitive so here we have the great american speaker lion ted cruz talking about democrats and in the background some people in the audience talk about they need to be shot about zoran they need to be shot about abdul el-sayed and listen to the cheering and watch lying ted who claims to be this big jesus guy hear this violence about people with whom he has a political disagreement and he does nothing.

7:39Angie Sullivan:Let's play the clip. When Mondami says he wants to seize the means of production, he means it. When Abdul Al-Sayed says he has a quote obligation to comply with Sharia law, he means it. And when James Tallarico says he wants to dismantle capitalism, He means this. Oh, yeah, they threw in Tallarico. I mean, even with. So y 'all go ahead. Jump in, Poms. I would just say that. The problem with all of this, this convention and all of this is they're not up there talking about. Here's how we want to help the American people. Here's what we want to do. this is what we're going to do in Iran that's going to bring prices down.

8:35This is how we're going to get your gas to go under$6 if you're a diesel driver. What they do is they name call and they spew hate. And they do that under the guise of Christianity because I went to a church my whole life growing up where all through the sermon, we're going to love poor people. We're going to help sick people. And then the minute they went outside, it was your job to judge and condemn people that were different than you. You are not allowed to have thoughts about other people nor respect their other religions, their life choices. That's exactly what Christian nationalism is. They want to tell everybody in the United States of America, we know who God is.

9:19You don't. Your religion isn't equal to my religion because mine is better. And that is something that starts from jump. I remember it. My first thoughts, that's how it was. And so Ted Cruz, who is the most vile human on planet earth, gets up there and lies and scares. And then he wants to run out and tell you what a Christian is, because this is what they do in church. And Pumps, I couldn't agree more. And to elaborate on your point, the things that they're saying and doing at this convention, and it's a great example of the Republican tactics. So you see this overarching theme of religion, right?

10:01You see this overarching theme of having a boogeyman, of having Tallarico, of having Mamdani, whoever. And that's all they focus on because they can tap into that emotional base of their people that will resonate with them, that will rally them. But what's missing at this convention, and you pointed this out too, Pumps, is that there's no discussion of policy. There's no discussion. There's no video about all of the achievements of President Trump during this administration. You know, if you created all these jobs or if you did all these great things, you would want to celebrate that. You would want to celebrate these policies.

10:41You don't have any of that. Instead, you have this fucking grifter yesterday that we talked about. He's so far down that he's having to beg or tell the American people that, hey, I'll put five grand in your pocket, all of you. I don't give a fuck who you are, everybody. If you'll just go vote Republican and give us another term. Well, everybody is Republican, House, Senate, President, Vice President, Supreme Court's in the tank. Like, why do you have to do that? Because you have no policy. You have zero policy to run on. And that's the message here. Take all the religious bullshit. Take all of the boogeyman theories.

11:18It's still not policy.

11:20Angie Sullivan:And I want to add to this, and this is really important. Stephen Miller and this Trump regime have a national security memo that is seeking pre-crimes. And it is basically people like us on the left that they say are Antifa and that we are domestic terrorists and engaging in violent rhetoric. The purpose of this national security memo is to erode civil liberties and to start making lists of Americans. Lists. Where do we know that from in history? And right there, that is the violent rhetoric that always comes from the right. And I want to remind everybody on this anniversary of 9-11 that we all lived in Oklahoma City when a right-winger named Timothy McVeigh blew up the federal building, the Alfred P.

12:10Angie Sullivan:Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. And I remember, and y 'all are going to remember this too, terror in the heartland, terror in the heartland. And we have to stamp out this. what's so fascinating to me a psychological case study on all of this is you would think the people of oklahoma would have made it their number one goal to stamp out right-wing terrorism and right-wing extremism to the contrary they vote for it to the contrary they listen to ted cruz say that and they hear he needs to be shot he also needs to be shot and they think yeah because these people never learn a lesson or because Timothy McVeigh was white, it's okay.

12:55Angie Sullivan:And so they are using xenophobic tactics as both of you touched on, on particularly Mom Donnie and El Syed. But also they always are trying to lump Tallarico in with this, who is essentially one of their own. He just isn't brainwashed and in a cult. But the violent rhetoric, these are the same people that took a shit in the Capitol and beat up cops. And so this whole national security memo that just Ken Klippenstein is the one independent journalist that covers it quite extensively. But they have really, it's a real policy of projection, because all of the violent rhetoric, every FBI has said is on the right, the right wing has the problem of this.

13:41Angie Sullivan:And it dates back to Timothy McVeigh. And these people don't learn a lesson from this because they feel entitled to it. They feel entitled to be able to commit crimes with impunity. And then, of course, our vice president, smoky eyed sociopath, J.D. Vance, who I always want to remind the viewer, is married to an Indian woman and has mixed race children. He brings the racism to this Trumpapalooza. Play the clip. And the criminals given free reign over our great country. And we were tired of being called racist for noticing that our country was becoming dirtier and poorer and less safe and less prosperous.

14:30Angie Sullivan:That's remarkable. J.D. Vance is standing right there, throwing his wife and his kids under the bus. He is speaking to a group of white people that see brown children, brown women, and brown men as dirty, exactly what he described. And he just picked up his family and his offspring, wadded them up transactionally and threw red meat at a base that will never be satiated. You can continue throwing racism now until the end of their lives. They will never be satiated with it because they are broken. That is absolutely breathtaking, that level of racism and that level of betraying your own kids. And I agree completely with everything that you said.

15:21And one thing that clip shows is that there's absolutely nothing that's off limits for these guys, whether it's your family, whether it's whoever you care about. Like, they don't care. They don't for him not to have a little more perception of this issue with his wife and this blatant racism, I think, just typifies, you know, this party. And to your earlier point, Jennifer, with the right wing militia with Timothy McVeigh, you know, that dates back also to the Ku Klux Klan, this white supremacy. Oh, yeah. This white militia. Terrorism. Terrorism. And to a certain extent, what they preach at this convention and the acquiescing and being complicit with these violent threats that are being made to Ted Cruz and not calling that out.

16:08You know, that's borderline. They're getting to be where I would think in my mind, these right wing Christian nationalists are a terrorist organization, in my opinion, as the way they treat marginalized and and discriminate against marginalized groups in this country. I have no doubt in my mind, at least that that's that's true. I completely agree. palms i'm reading a book right now on christian nationalism and how dangerous it is and it is it is terrifying because you know in the on the coast people just kind of think these people are nuts whatever but it is so ingrained in these people and because of the indoctrination of christianity that you are entitled to judge other people you as a white person are entitled to judge brown people black people, poor people.

17:06It is your divine right, which is how I was raised. So I know this to be true. And then you can take it across every single person, every marginalized group, everybody that's not you, because you are entitled to judge someone and make them what you want, because you are better. And that, in my life experience, happened at church. And that's why you see such a marriage between MAGA, Christian nationalism, and all of this hate and just disgusting behavior.

17:41Angie Sullivan:That and the Republican Party brilliantly, decades ago, started injecting themselves into the church. They have been playing the long game here for the court, which they got. And for a party that we see right now that's so impulsive and so short-sighted, their predecessors were very much playing the long-term game. Look at how old and dead Mitch McConnell is now. He was a part of this. He was a part of the machinations of growing the Republican Party, which is the number one deterrent to know if people vote, church attendance. And it was brilliant on their part. And to Josh's point, a lot of these churches have KKK roots, particularly in the south and what's terrifying for the three of us is what i always thought was fringe when i would go to church on the weekend with a friend in high school that was trying to recruit me and hear all this hellfire damnation all this hatred from the pulpit that fringe is now in the federal government we have got people talking in tongues in the federal government we have a speaker of the house that claims that god wakes him up in the middle of the night and says hey buddy wake up you're moses that is bananas there is not a planet that that is normal crazy people think they hear the voice of god that is not a normal thing to wake up and go hey josh guess what happened last night god woke me up and he was like wake up sis you're mary you are mary you're a born again virgin sis that's y 'all would go jennifer what is going on with you but this goes on and the media and everybody normalizes not just the crazy shit from Trump but all of the people around him.

19:30Angie Sullivan:And then I just want to conclude that, you know, back to my theory that Trump is in his deathbed confession era and is showing signs of a lot of bisexuality, which we support all of the letters of the LGBTQ plus community. We just do not support the hypocrisy. Here they are playing the Phantom of the Opera as Diaper Boy stood there on stage. Play the clip.

20:01Angie Sullivan:I mean, it's just, wow. We share our country with this. Okay. All right. All right. On this 9-11, I just want to say that that was horrible. All of us that lived through that, that was horrible. And to senatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed's point, the aftermath of that, that our country lied, went to war, killed more Americans, killed a million people in the Middle East, the people who still suffer from the PTSD and the trauma of all of that. this is a day that we have to look at how our government is supposed to provide public safety for us and that's what we need to remember these people who were not kept safe by their governments and as a reaction to that caused far more death and far more damage and all of that came from the party of family values with a lot of votes from democrats afterwards that were like yeah let's go in there and um it just it's just a really really sad day for all of us to remember and the republican party uses 9 11 as propaganda they don't give a about the people who have long-term suffering from that or the people who who died they use it as propaganda and it should never be propaganda.

21:30Angie Sullivan:That's all we have. Like, subscribe, comment. We will be back later with more news.
