All right, according to Jamie Raskin, Donald Trump is in the Epstein files over 1 million times. Also not talked about enough is that Benjamin Netanyahu is mentioned in the Epstein files about 6,000 times. And so as the Epstein files were just mushrooming, mushroom clouding, really, Benjamin Netanyahu had to wag the dog and say the real mushroom cloud here are the non-existent nukes that Iran has. Benjamin Netanyahu has been compulsively lying for 40 years. We have it all on tape. You've seen the video. You've seen the hypercut. 40 years that Iran is going to have nukes. They don't have them. And so both of these men that are intimately listed in these Epstein files needed a distraction. Benjamin Netanyahu needed a make-a-wish favor from Donald Trump with an assist from Miriam Adelson, who loves Israel more than she loves the United States. Let's go bomb Iran because no other president was stupid enough or compromised enough like Donald Trump is to do it. And it turns out right before all of this, there are credible, credible accusations that the president of the United States assaulted a 13-year-old girl, sexually assaulted. And these allegations have legs and credibility to them. Pop this up. Julie K. Brown, who everybody knows, is the main journalist on this story and has been from the get-go. using archived government records and new accounts. The Post and Courier found that the woman provided verifiable details to agents about her family background and its legal entanglements. She offered the name of an Epstein business associate on Hilton Head Island who became a central figure in the drama with specifics that are reflected in public records. So this isn't just some crazy allegation. These allegations have legs. And this is the allegation you guys wear, and it's graphic, and I'm going to warn you before I go into it, but the allegations are that Trump unzipped his pants and told the girl to perform oral sex on him, and she bit him, and then he hit her. And these allegations were credibly given, and the FBI deemed them to be so credible that they had multiple follow-up interviews and now there's corroborating evidence. Here's the thing. Why on earth would anybody, even MAGA, based on Donald Trump's public comments, public behavior, and his history with women even have a doubt that these allegations are credible? What Donald Trump does, we even heard his first wife talk about some forms of physical abuse. There is no world in which anyone can discount these allegations and say, well, they're not credible. Just look at Donald Trump's own words and behavior. It's insanity to be putting up a defense for this man because he has made it crystal clear this is how he behaves. I mean, I don't think there's any question. I'm linking it more so here to the fact that this was really starting to boil over and the cover up of this is really starting to get a lot of legs. There's no question. I think we all realize that quote unquote suicide of Jeffrey Epstein was actually not that. And these files and the active dismantling of these files online right now during the Iranian war, I think what we're realizing here is this war is two-pronged. Number one, Benjamin Netanyahu's Make-A-Wish, always wanted to attack Iran. Donald Trump compromised. I do not think it's hyperbolic, nor do I think it's that big of a conspiracy theory at all to make the following conclusion. Israel is knee deep in all of the Epstein files. Jeffrey Epstein, a lot of people who have studied them believe that he was a Mossad agent who was getting compromising information. And here's where it gets a little bit sticky. The Western media will cover this as Trump was, I'm sorry, Epstein was in contact with Vladimir Putin, which was true. And Trump is compromised by Vladimir Putin, which is probably true. But they really, really either omit or wash out any sort of mention of Israel. And the fact of the matter is, Jeffrey Epstein, the former prime minister, they were massively entangled into all of this. And I don't think it's that big of a jump to say that Israeli government has compromising video of Trump. Now, this is just my opinion, but I don't think that's hyperbolic, nor do I think that is conspiratorial. I think as we see all of these things converge it abundantly obvious that that probably what happened Okay so the next headline here is why are the base why is the base supporting this Why is the base always supported Trump Well because the religious fanatics, white evangelical Christians delivered the presidency for Trump. People like to talk about Latinos for Trump or blacks for Trump. Those numbers were not significant enough. White people, specifically white Christian nationalist evangelicals, delivered Trump two terms. All right. Well, these evangelicals are what are called Christian Zionists. They are rapture preppers. So they're able to be pitched this idea of the Iranian war because they believe that it will signal the return of Jesus Christ in the rapture. This is a guiding factor in foreign policy. And here's what's so diabolical about Benjamin Netanyahu. He knows this. He knows that the most co-opted, easiest, dumbest, most manipulatable voting bloc in the world are right-wing American Christian evangelicals. These people do not think they are told what to believe, period. Pop this up. The Guardian is reporting a very dangerous person. This is about Pete Hegseth. And they go on to say alarm as Pete Hegseth revels in the carnage of Iran war. And the poster, Muin Rabbani says, Christian Zionism, a death cult, now as powerful as it is bloodthirsty, led by raptured junkies on a mission to hasten the end of the world. And I have said this for a year now. MAGA is a death cult. All of their policies, all of their actions lead to death. But they're so broken, these people. They're not right with God. because they're broken. They have no skills. These are emotionally stunted toddlers that present as grown adults. And they think, oh, if we do all of these things, if we commit all these war crimes, then we'll be right with God. Because as we know, Pete Hegseth has 95 baby mamas, which I don't give a shit about. But the evangelical movement does. They're all about these traditional family values. So you have this strange bedfellow of the government of Israel that wants to expand, expand, expand. And they need people to help them do this, mainly American taxpayer money. And so then you have to get a portion of the American public on board with this. It just so happens the same idiots that elected Trump are the same idiots that are all chips in on this war to fund it because they actually think they're going to be raptured. Well, here's the deal. They've been indoctrinated that, that they're going to be raptured and God is coming from at least 50 years because I remember it in my lifetime. But what's, what's so alarming about all of this is these people that say we're, you know, we're God and country and we're, you know, family values and all that. They have turned to in every turn, they have gone away from everything they claim to be. The hypocrisy of voting for a convicted felon, a serial adulterer, the way they've talked about kids, they protect pedophiles. I mean, in my experience, evangelical Christians are quick to forgive pedophilia because it happens so frequently within their movement. And then you have someone with no experience who is willing to violate international law, commit crimes and murder people willy nilly, because in his mind, Jesus is coming back and he doesn't have to worry about it. And that to me, those are the scariest people that think they have nothing to lose, that there's no accountability that's ever going to occur because Jesus is going to come back and lift them up to heaven. And Pete Hexeth falls in that category and he is the secretary of defense. Okay. And then moving along here. So the MAGA movement is going through some things right now, but I want to be crystal clear. You guys, you have some podcasters and right-wing influencers where you see fissures. Poll after poll after poll shows that Trump's base is in lockstep with him. They always have been. They always will be. These people deliver for this man. They're delivering for Benjamin Netanyahu right now. Any support that Trump has for this war, it's like 85% Republican-based support. So any mention that it's falling apart, there are little factions that do. But all in all, these people stick together. And this is an interesting development, what we have here. So you have the Texas Senate race on the Republican side. And this right-wing media gal named Emerald something accuses John Cornyn of sexual harassment payouts to a man Pop this up Emerald Robinson and you can see she has her Christian cross there Christian signaling just got a call from a Senate staffer GOP leadership can't allow the disclosure of sex harassment settlements right now. The reason it would harm John Cornyn. I'm told that particular settlement was paid to another man. And I talk about this all the fucking time. This movement and these people believe in nothing. Allegedly here, John Cornyn, who is rabidly anti-gay during the day, clearly has a different preference at night. and these Christians, evangelical Christians that go to vote for Trump, you know, it's like, oh, we're for Jesus and forgiveness. Yet their vote is the exact opposite of everything. This is the party that believes in nothing. These people believe in nothing. They have no conviction whatsoever. If Trump were to wake up tomorrow morning and say the Iran war was a mistake, I don't want to be a neocon. Fuck Benjamin Netanyahu. I'm pulling out. They would all go, oh my God, he's genius. I mean, this is a level of 975 degree chess that I've ever seen in my entire life. They believe in nothing. These are the people that have gay children that go and vote against their kids. These are the people that consume black culture for entertainment and harbor racism morning, noon, and night and feast on it appetizer, entree, and dessert. These people believe in fucking nothing. So do I believe that John Cornyn is a DL queen? Probably. All of these people are so sexually stunted because their number one goal that evangelicals raise their kids to do is to be virgins. Like out of all the things in the world. It's not be a good person. It's not help sick people. It's not help poor people. It's this purity culture, waste of time bullshit. They don't teach them about consent. They don't teach them about acceptance. They don't teach them about, you know, some people are born this way. Hell, Mike Johnson, you guys, believes that homosexuality is a choice. He talks about it all the time, which is such a cell phone because he's basically admitting that he's choosing to be heterosexual. One of his quotes, and I'm paraphrasing here, is you can't control what color of eyes you have. You can't control what color hair you have or what your skin color is, but you can control your sexuality. And I'm like, hmm, that's really interesting, a little grinder, because I didn't choose to be straight. That is just not a choice that I made. I just am. I just am a heterosexual woman. And so this is so revealing and so unsurprising to me that so many, so many in this MAGA movement, so many of these men fetishize at night what they browbeat and try to destroy during their day jobs. And it is just a microcosm of the hypocrisy of this white, racist, bloodthirsty death cult that is white evangelical megachurch culture. When you look around in the House, in the Senate of all the people that browbeat against gay marriage and how bad gays are and that lifestyle you choose and all the things they say about it. they're the ones normal people that just aren't thinking about sex all the time and just living their lives are not talking about sex and who's having sex and who's having sex with whom all of the time. And I will just say this from growing up in an evangelical Christian church, there is no doubt in my mind that there are so many men because of their religious shame that feel like they cannot come out. And so they punish everybody else for how much they are miserable. And you see this over and over again. And here's the thing. I do not care. I don't give a shit. But you have the Republican Party that continues to protect pedophiles, hurt people in the LGBTQIA plus community because they themselves hate themselves. Over and over, they demean women. They want only power for them and they want to demean and be hypocrites. And they're willing to do it to such a degree they don't care if people die over it. They're going to go to war to protect liars and cheaters. And I'm like, where is the normal person that's sitting in a church pew that says, we not doing this We don care We not willing to send American troops to die so that you don have to look at the Epstein files so that Lindsey Graham can go have sex with whoever he wants Like is that day ever going to come I not seeing it yet, but with the bride- Well, I want to say, I want to say where we live in Oklahoma, yes, the people in those churches are vehemently anti-gay and pro-pedophilia, pro-pedophilia president. Every church I walk past in New York City has a pride flag, a trans flag, and says refugees and immigrants welcome here. This is the Bible Belt white Christian evangelical vote that delivered this. These are the churches you grew up in. These are the churches you sent your kids to. This is the anti-gay purity culture. There is a faith out there, and I know that a lot of our listeners have this, where it's like the bishop that lectured the Trumps, an inauguration that spoke about not further marginalizing trans people and welcoming refugees and being anti-war. Even the Pope is trolling J.D. Vance and Trump all of the time. So those people exist, but because we live in a fascist propagandistic society right now, the voices that we hear all the time are these rapture preppers because they're holding power. But the, I believe, and everybody knows how I feel about religion. I fucking hate it. All of them. I'm a lifelong atheist. But I do know with everything in me that there are really good people of faith, Christian faith, Muslim faith, Jewish faith that believe in universal human rights and that believe that there's a beautiful light out in the world somehow that connects us all together in a shared sense of humanity. And I know that to be true. And each of those Abrahamic religions that I mentioned have horrific, awful extremists in them. But there are people who are calling out the war crimes, the homophobia, the hypocrisy. It's just when you're in the midst of a fascist regime, the regime's propaganda, which is owned by all of the oligarchs, seems so much bigger than what it really is. I believe with everything in me, there are more people that see the light and that see the goodness in our shared humanity than these people. And Pumps and I have been around these people, they're fucking awful. As awful as you think they are, they're worse. But I do believe that there are really good people out there of faith. And I have to remind myself of that because I'm so quick to just jump on the religion bashing. You're exactly right. I'm just, my experience was in the evangelical Christian church and they are judgmental and they are hateful and hypocrisy reigns. Totally. There's just no question. And Trump has made them worse, Pumps. They're worse. A million times worse. I just feel like he has made that sect of Christianity worse. And I just want to say one thing. A lot of people in the comment section will say they're not real Christians. That is a very dangerous argument to make. And let me tell you why. MAGA always makes the argument, like if you're not MAGA, you're not a real American. Well, that's patently false. Pumps and I are real Americans. I was born in Dallas, Texas. She was born in Oklahoma. It doesn't get any more, quote, heritage American than that, right? Those are their words. I don't believe in any of that bullshit. I think Zoran Mamdani is every bit as American as I am, even though he migrated here when he was three years old. But these people are Christians and they get their ideas from the same book that the good ones get their ideas from. And that's why it's important to not just dismiss it outright as they're not real Christians. It is a problem within Christianity that needs to be fixed within the movement because they use the exact same book. The homicidal, genocidal judgment that they get is the Old Testament God. I mean, I've read it. It's not good. It's not stuff. Now, of course, then there's Jesus that comes, but they are real Christians. They believe they're real Christians. They would pass a polygraph filled with truth serum that they are real Christians. So it's important that you talk about the sect of Christianity, but you can't take away their Christianity from them because they are Christians. Maybe they're not your version of Christians, but they are fucking Christians, just like I'm not MAGA's version of an American. But by God, I am a fucking American. Sometimes I'm not really happy about it, but that's what I am. And that's why I stay and we do this and we want to help be a huge opposition party and a resistance to these extremists, these cultists. All right. Anyway, that's all we have for this episode. like, subscribe, comment, and we'll be back later with more news.
