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

The transcript delivers a sharp critique of Christian nationalism within the U.S. Republican Party, exposing it as a toxic blend of religious extremism, political manipulation, and violent rhetoric. It highlights how attendees at a major convention openly advocate for the murder of political rivals, including figures like Abdul El Sayed and James Talleriko, under the guise of faith and moral righteousness. The speaker argues that this behavior stems from a deep psychological need to enforce control and superiority, rooted in a punitive, fear-based interpretation of Christianity that has been historically tied to white supremacy and the Ku Klux Klan. The analysis points to systemic patterns, including the use of 9/11 as political propaganda, the erasure of policy discussions in favor of demonization, and the normalization of racism—such as JD Vance’s promotion of anti-Black and anti-immigrant views—within mainstream political discourse. It also notes the historical roots of this ideology, tracing its influence back to the 19th century and the deliberate infiltration of conservative politics into churches. The speaker condemns the party’s failure to address genuine public safety concerns, instead exploiting trauma and division. The critique concludes by warning that the Republican establishment, particularly through figures like Trump and its allies, is not only ideologically bankrupt but dangerously aligned with violent extremism, harming both marginalized communities and democratic norms. The full scope of this movement is described as a long-term political strategy rooted in fear, indoctrination, and the suppression of critical thought.

(upbeat music) - All right, night two of Trump of Paloza, 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. (shouting) That loves us so much, he can't even breathe. (laughing) That 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 gonna try and cheat like hell like they do. - Gonna cheat like hell. That is so fucking weird. And I just wanna 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 that's like I love Obama. Still love Obama. I mean, I would know Morrison, you're 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. 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 and everybody in that audience is just giggling like he is a comedian. It really is, to your point, the demographic behind him of which I've fallen 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 like you couldn't really make this shit up. You can look at these people and say, how are you serious? Like 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. It's disgusting. - 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 in the, they wrap it up in Christianity that somehow that justifies everything that they're doing. And I think there's something. I'm not verse super well in the Bible, but I think there's something about worshipping false idols. So isn't that? - It could be admit. - Isn't that right on its face kind of blasphemous? I mean, I don't buy into all that shit, I mean, that just seems really weird moving along. Speaking of crazy Christians, the Christian nationalist takeover continues at the convention play the clip. (audience applauding) (gentle music) - Wow, for fuck's sake. - And on June 14th, 1946, God looked down on his plan paradise and said, "I need a caretaker, so God gave us Trump." - 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, you know, we've talked about on this podcast before, is that he's not perfect. He makes mistakes. - Oh, the imperfect vessel. - The imperfect vessel. - That's what they say. - Yeah, that's what it says. - 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, he comes, answer this for me. - Okay. - 'Cause you were all deep into this. - Deep. - Acetype. - Acetype 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 gonna send a perfect vessel because I'm gonna 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. It's just a gloss over. - And I wanna re-up what I've had yesterday twice, I think, which is that these people, they ain't splitting that out of any 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 bad shit fucking crazy. Whatever they're in, I want no part of. - Well, okay. 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, portraying God, et cetera. But in this movement, you have Jesus, who is 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. 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, they're 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 Lion 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. Let's play the clip. - When Mandami says he wants to seize the means of production, he means it. When Abdul El Sayed says he has a quote obligation to comply with Sharia law, he means it. And when James Talleriko says he wants a dismantle capitalism, he means it. - Oh yeah, they threw in Talleriko, 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. And here's what we want to do. This is what we're going to do in Iran that's going to bring prices down. This 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, we're 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 were 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, you 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 he 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 this. religion right? You see this overarching theme of having a boogeyman, of having Talleriko, of having Mamdani, whoever. And that's all they focus on because they can tap into that emotional base of their people that can that will resonate with them, that will rally them. But what's missing at this convention, and you pointed this out too, Poms, 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. You 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. 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 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. It's still not policy. 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 McVey blew up the federal building, the Alfred P. Mora 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 McVey was white, it's okay. And so they are using xenophobic tactics as both of you touched on on particularly mom Donnie and El Sayed. But also, they always are trying to lump Tallerico in with this who is 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 capital and beat up cops. And so this whole national security memo that just Kim Clippenstein 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 and it dates back to Timothy McVey. 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, Smokey I'd sociopath, JD 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. That's remarkable. JD Vance is standing right there, growing 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, watered them up transactionally and through 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. And 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 this party. And to your earlier point, Jennifer, with the right wing militia with Timothy McVey, you know, that dates back also to the Ku Klux Klan, this white supremacy, 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, you know, that's borderline they're getting to be where I would think in my mind, these right wing Christian nationalist or terrorist organization, in my opinion, as the way they treat marginalized 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. Poms, 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're entitled to judge other people, you as a white person are entitled to judge brown people, black people, poor people, it 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 that and the Republican Party brilliantly year decades ago started injecting themselves into the church. Absolutely. They, they, they have been playing the long game here for the court, which they got. And, you know, 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 and 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 what 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 French 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 French 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 married. You are married. You're a born-again virgin, sis. Y'all would go, Jennifer, what is going on with you? But this goes on in the median everybody normalizes. Not just the crazy shit from Trump, but all of the people around him. 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 fandom of the opera diaper boys stood there on stage. Play the clip. I mean, it's just, wow, we share a country with this, with, 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, that after math 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, cause 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. 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 shit about the people who have long-term suffering from that, or the people who died. They use it as propaganda, and it should never be propaganda. That's all we have. Like, subscribe, comment. We will be back later with more news.

FAQs

Christian nationalism is a movement that blends religious beliefs with political power, often promoting a strict, punitive version of Christianity. It is linked to extremism because it fosters intolerance, scapegoating of political opponents, and a belief in divine right to judge others, which fuels hate and violence.

These threats—like calling for people to be 'shot'—are rooted in a culture of fear and scapegoating. They reflect a punitive religious worldview and serve to rally supporters emotionally, rather than addressing policy or public safety.

The party often frames political debates in religious terms, using Christian values to justify policies and demonize opponents. This includes promoting ideas like 'God's plan' or 'divine judgment,' which can mask lack of real policy and deepen division.

Yes, historical analysis shows that many churches, especially in the South, have roots in the Ku Klux Klan. The Republican Party has long used religious institutions to build political power, contributing to a culture of racial and religious intolerance.

The idea that God sent an 'imperfect vessel' like Donald Trump is used to justify political figures' flaws. Critics argue this is blasphemous and undermines the belief in a perfect, all-good Creator, especially when paired with dogmatic and violent ideologies.

Conventions focus on name-calling, fear, and religious condemnation instead of policy. There is little discussion of achievements, economic improvements, or public safety, making the messaging emotionally charged rather than informative.
