Who I will refer to as Kinks, went to the Museum of the Bible yesterday in Washington, D.C. and it was just as horrific as that sounds. Here he is going full tilt patriarchal to the hyper religious, white Christian nationalist base that like, worships this guy in a really weird way. And I want to remind you before you hear this clip that Donald Trump was accused by his first wife of rape and the wife that he buried on his golf course. So here's what he says about women at the Bible Museum.

Donald Trump
No crime. They said, crime's down 87%. I said, no, no, no. It's more than 87%. Virtually nothing. And, and much lesser things, things that take place in the home they call crime. You know, they'll do anything they can to find something. If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say, this was a crime. See? So now I can't claim 100%.

Okay, that is incredibly devastating to hear and how regressive that is as a woman. And you have this whole movement where women are on board with him saying this stuff, or women are going to sign up to be victimized again and to erase all of the progress that women have made and they're going to pick up their daughters and throw them under the bus. And I want to remind everybody that even in the Steele dossier, the controversial Steele dossier, it is in there that Russia has video of Trump roughing up Melania in an elevator. And then his first wife claims that he raped her. And then, you know, there's all the other sexual abuse allegations. So this is inherently the most anti woman party of my lifetime. And there's been some, you know, traditional family and all this bullshit with George W. Bush and Reagan and all this, but this is beyond the pale. And I just want to say to all of the white women out there, a lot of you voted for this. Like, how do you look at your daughter, especially if she's a teenager, and you see what he says about Ghislaine Maxwell, her wishing her well. How do you look at your daughters and vote for this guy? I mean, what kind of fucked up bad parent are you? Seriously, how do you look at your.

Daughters and say, we want the government to be in charge of your reproductive health. This is an administration that it is a plus if you have some type of sexual harassment or sexual abuse. It's like, okay, great, these are the same people that brought Andrew Tate back.

I totally forgot about that because they do so much all the time. You forget about that. You're exactly right. It's. Oh, it's overwhelming to flood the zone that they do. Okay, next up, you guys, we have. This is just more than I can take. When the Christians who are the persecutors, when you live in a red Bible Belt state, these arrogant mega church Southern Baptist attendees, they think their shit doesn't stink. They think they're smarter than everybody, while at the same time claiming that the earth is 6,000 years old. This is dipshit arrogance galore. All right, so they have found the biggest arrogant dipshit on the planet. And they love to persecute people. And then when somebody calls them out, they claim, oh my gosh, we're being persecuted, Christians are being persecuted. And then of course, dipshit just falls along with this narrative. It makes me sick. Play it.

Donald Trump
The first ever Department of Justice task force to eradicate anti Christian bias. And for those people that are a little bit naive or not well read. There is a tremendous anti Christian bias. We don't hear about it, we don't think about it. You hear about anti Semitic, but you don't hear about anti Christian. Now you have a strong anti Christian bias. But we're ending that rapidly. I will tell you, it's a whole. We're in a much different world today than we were one year ago.

Okay, I want to say something about this. All right, first of all, those that aren't well read, the people he's talking to literally think people use, literally believe that people used to be 900 years old. I mean, these are really stupid, willfully, willfully stupid people where you have bodies of evidence that they say, nope, we're not going to listen to these people. But I want to defend here quickly, because this doesn't get talked about at all. You always hear about the rise of antisemitism, which everybody opposes that. And I would say that the actions of Israel are making people more anti Semitic. In the embrace of far right leaders like him is where antisemitism incubates. And now he's talking about, you know, Christian, anti Christian bias, which. Guilty as charged. I totally have that from living in a Bible Belt state. It's very easy to get when you live around these lands. Where. What about the rise in racism? Right? Where's that? Why aren't we standing up for our sisters and brothers of color? What about the rise in anti immigration rhetoric? Because here's what they're doing to those people. They're locking them up and sending them to seacot. They're sending them To Alligator Alcatraz. They're fetish, fetishizing, fetishizing it on the White House, Instagram. The talk about inner cities and people from inner cities and some people are just born criminals and they can't be helped. What about the rise and just straight up racism? Is anybody going to address that? Because that's what I see above and beyond everything else. Because it's not just enough for them to be racist. They want to lock innocent people up and celebrate it and salivate over it. It just, it makes me sick how easy it is for so many white Americans to just fall into this when multiculturalism makes our country so cool. You can't stand up for the people that run the Mexican restaurant. You can't stand up for your gay hairdresser or your, you know, gay doctor. You can't stand up for black people. You can't even look at how much more difficult their experience has been being a black American around all these dipshit, arrogant white people. How difficult it is to find success and to live, especially in the Bible Belt a day or two without having racial slurs hurled at you. But you know, if you talk about it, then they say you're a race baiter, you're race hustler and all this stuff. I'm so sick of this. I'm so sick of it.

Well, and let's not forget Christianity is patriarchal. It is misogyny, racist and racist, start to finish. The reason the Christians are all behind this is because they think they're special. We could never get deported because we're special. We're chosen. And it is disgusting and it is gross. And I believe based on just anecdotal evidence, people that have always gone to church see this movement and see the hypocrisy of what Christians are doing with the racism and the misogyny and the bigotry against gay people. And they are leaving religion and I hope that that will continue because they're like, I can't put my name behind a movement that treats other people like this. This goes against everything I was taught that Jesus stood for in the Bible. These people are absolutely going against everything they say they believe. And so I am hopeful in the, you know, after this is all through, God willing, haha, tongue in cheek, that people are going to be leaving Christianity because they're going to see how it primed the pump for somebody exactly like Donald Trump.

I don't know about that. I'm reading some results about Jen, some polling about Gen Z running to religion. And so I'M seeing contradictory charts than that. And that, that's very, very troubling for me, especially the glamorizing of the tradwife stuff and the streamlining of all of this. And Donald Trump has been the example for a decade of people in their youth. And so I, I hope you're right, because all I see is religion damaging people. But I see the people that are the biggest proponents of Jesus doing the exact opposite of what that central character of the Bible preached about, especially in the Bible Belt. You guys, I know that there's some Methodists or Episcopalians or Christian, like people that follow us that actually do that, but not in the Bible Belt. You do not see these religious people ever fighting for the marginalized. In fact, you see them actively salivating to oppress the marginalized and to be racist.

In the same Bible show that he went to the history of the Bible Museum or whatever performative religiosity they have going on. I want you to see that even no matter where he is, the dementia is never far away. Listen to this clip.

Donald Trump
That's what we're doing. We're in a golden age. We're at the very beginning of a golden age. So much progress has been made in the last eight months. Progress like nobody's ever seen before. They're writing about it. They're actually Saying it. They've never seen anything like what's happened in the last eight months.

I mean, you know, this is. He has about 10 things, 10 greatest hits that he just recycles through, you know, windmills, Hannibal Lecter, the likes of which anybody's ever seen. We used to be a dead country, now we're a hot country. And doesn't matter if he's at the, you know, Creation Museum or, you know, in front of the Heritage foundation or at the US Open. I guarantee you in that box at the US Open, it was the top 10 greatest hits bullshit, actually. I guarantee you was telling everybody was a good tennis player. But anyway, another problem, you guys, is these right wing influencers continue to get mainstreamed. What used to be fringe is now mainstream. Talking points on Fox, which millions of people watch. It's still the top rated, quote unquote news show. And here's Charlie Kirk, who should be an absolute fringe person. And they are platforming him as a thought leader. And here's the type of shit that he says to all of the white, angry, racist people that watch Fox News all the time. And this all kind of ties together. Trump voters, young men, they want family, children and legacy young women who voted for Kamala Harris, they want careerism, consumerism and loneliness. That is a dramatic divide that is going to play out in our politics for the years to come. Okay, so, you know, here he is talking to a woman that has a career who is unmarried. And my fundamental problem, you guys, is MAGA is a movement that is fringe that is now mainstream and it's becoming more and more and more mainstream. And you see more and more people capitulating to this because once you capitulate to one thing and you lose some of your conviction, the rest of it falls so quickly. And so, you know, it's almost like a Jenga puzzle. It just, it just completely tumbles. And I see it, and I know you all do too, people in my personal life. And then you see it in, you know, the news, which can you imagine that we used to live in a country where the Republican Party told Richard Nixon, you need to resign, we won't support you.

And that this, this is where we are right now, Charlie, Kurt, going to college campuses, hanging low hanging fruit to men and talking about men having family values. When Donald Trump just said in another clip that, you know, it's okay. Basically the insinuation there was if a husband roughs up the wife, that shouldn't be a call to the police.
- [13:51]
Co-host or Political Analyst
Well, that's because the man is the supreme ruler of the family and head of the household. And women shouldn't have the right to vote. That's what's now circul. Ask Pete Hexeth about it.

They're mainstreaming this. This very fringe stuff, and it's really terrifying. All right, that's all we have. We'll be back later with more news.
