No, I agree with you completely. I was thinking that same thing about Stephen Colbert. He and Jimmy Kimmel have more balls than the leadership we have in the House, in the Senate, because they are putting everything on the line to speak truth to power. And we're just not seeing that. That and one thing that Talarico does, and I do think he's even a bigger threat than Zoron because he's white. I mean, he's a white male from Texas. And the way he eloquently pointed out the hypocrisy of MAGA in the administration, I'm going to play it. And it was really well said 50.

Guest 1 (5:43)

Years, the religious right, a political movement that is the perfect description for it. They convinced a lot of our fellow Christians that the most important issues were abortion and gay marriage, two issues that aren't mentioned in the Bible. Two issues that Jesus never talked about. Jesus in Matthew 25 tells us exactly how you and I and every one of our fellow believers, how we're going to be judged and how we're going to be saved by feeding the hungry, by healing the sick, by welcoming the stranger. Nothing about going to church, nothing about voting Republican. It was all about how you treat other people. Don't, Don't. I've said before, don't tell me what you believe. Show me how you treat other people and I'll tell you what you believe.

Host (6:41)

And I just thought that was really plain spoken and well said. And just from a personal standpoint, I grew up, as everybody knows, evangelical churches. Every person in there that I would stand shoulder to shoulder with would say they believe everything that he just said about feeding the poor, doing the sick. And then they go out and they do the exact opposite of that. And justified in their head somehow, with dissonance, with willful denial. I know that because I did it, and I love people that still do it. But I think a message like that is a mirror to these people. They know what the right thing to do is. They know you shouldn't put people in concentration camps, you shouldn't say separate families, but nobody's willing to take a look in the mirror. And I think that's what he is. He's a look in the mirror.

Guest 2 (7:43)

Yeah, I think that's precisely that. Messaging right there is precisely why he wasn't allowed to go on. That, combined with one of his really good messages, is they have you looking at the wrong 1%. And he's referring to trans people. And he said the real 1% they don't want you to look at are the billionaires. And he speaks out against billionaires. And if Texas, the Texas race were to go blue, the Senate race, which we've had a lot of good candidates try, and he's got a big primary right now with Jasmine Crockett on the Democratic side, and they're going to have to duke that out and, you know, made the best politician win. But this thing right here, Trump messing with him like this, now everybody's going to want to watch it. And I guarantee you there's a lot of people that are sending that clip, the one that you just did, to their religious parents that are maga and reminding them you make Me, you know, this is what I remember about church. What you all are has made me not want to be religious. And so there's real conversations that are going to be played out. If a super religious progressive like that, if he wins the primary and if he is in a general and you put him up against Paxton, I think would probably win that primary. And I think he's the guy that his wife filed for divorce for biblical reasons because I think he was slapping, tickling, you know, he's fucking around. She found out, she throws the Bible into the divorce thing. So that would be a super juicy race against like the Bible thumper. I'm a right wing MAGA Christian. The Republican Jesus versus the Republicans. The actual Jesus. That would be interesting because I have always found as a non religious person, the most religious people I know are always the cruelest. And this is just in Oklahoma, you guys, because religious people in Oklahoma are really mean. I know on the coast people can be religious and not cruel, but it is a feature, not a bug of evangelical Christianity. And I think that this type of messaging, you know, like whenever I hear Bernie Sanders speak as a non religious person, when I hear this atheist Jewish man speak, I always think, well that sounds more like because I've studied religion, I was like, well this sounds more like that character Jesus in the Bible is what Bernie Sanders is saying. Because it's not just that Jesus speaks out against the accumul accumulation of wealth once, it's multiple times. He absolutely was not a capitalist. Jesus Christ was not a capitalist. And so the hoodwink of the Republican party because these religious people are so easily co opted is one for the ages that they have Jesus as this huge white, you know, blue eyed capitalist, let's accumulate wealth. It's really wild if you really actually study the words of Jesus.

Host (10:38)

Well, one thing I just want to point out to your point about all of the interference done by the Trump administration, I think I read that 2.3 million people generally watch Colbert and as of noon today it was over 10 million million on all the platforms. I mean people are going to see this. And I personally have clipped this for my very religious family that I will see later this week. And so I am anxious to be like, not, I'm not going to be antagonistic about it, but just defend this, just defend it. Why? Why do you think that this is okay? Because you've got little kids that are held in concentration camps. You have people being taken off the streets that have been here their entire lives. How can you defend it? And I know that they have defended this administration, so it will be interesting. And I just, I want to close with just the contrast. You have James Talarico speaking about what Jesus did. And then you have Randy Fines who is disgusting, despicable. I'm not going to play the clip because his voice is so gross, but he goes on Newsmax and he doubles down and then he attacks AOC and goes back to eating the dogs. And I just was like, what it.

Guest 2 (12:01)

Goes back to is not eating the dogs. This is a new conspiracy theory that is getting started and it is that they are going to ban. That's what it is. Pets. And where this comes from. This is the new MAGA conspiracy theory. You know, the litter boxes and the furries. Now Trump has, you know, furries at, at Mar a Lago and then they moved on to the eating the dogs and cats. Now there was somebody who does not work for Zoron that said something about because I think Muslims cannot have dogs. I think a lot of Muslims do have dogs, but I think that that's something that's in the Quran. So now they're claiming that Zoron is going to ban dogs in New York and AOC is colluding on this and they're, they're going to. You can't have a pet dog. I live in New York, you guys. These dogs can go in every single store. You can take your dog in a restaurant. The best dressed dogs I've ever seen. A lot of them wear shoes, they have raincoats. My dogs have fantastic New York outfits. I can't get them to wear the shoes. This is the, this is the complete scaring of the rubes that they do. Nobody that lives in New York would even take this seriously for a second. But Debbie in Choctaw, Oklahoma is going to be on Facebook Keyboard Courage going are going to ban dogs in New York City. And I heard that this is going on in New York City. And Debbie's never been to New York City.

Host (13:25)

This is what they do.

Guest 2 (13:27)

This is the kind of shit they pull. They make up some stupid lie. And instead of him apologizing, instead of him Moses, Mike Grinder Johnson kicking his ass out of the Senate and making an example that racism will get you canceled in the United States Senate, period. I mean, House. The United States House. But they don't. And then now they're all going to be leaning in. I guarantee. We are one to two news cycles away from Donald Trump truth socialing that the Democrats are going to ban you from having a dog that is coming because we're on the very front end of this conspiracy theory and that's coming. And guess what's going to happen? Remember Obama? Obama's going to take your guns. He didn't take your guns. Now all the lesbians are getting guns. And the MAGA is super mad about this. I read a whole article about it. The magus. I can't believe the lesbians are getting guns. It's like, what the. Did you. You think? I mean, y' all want everybody to have guns? So this is gonna, this is their new. This is their new shtick. And they're all gonna roll up. Megan Kelly, Donald Trump, J.D. vance. It's gonna be an all star lineup of them saying the Democrats are going to take your pets. You can't have a pet dog anymore. It's just such bullshit. It's just the people that believe this are so stupid. Truly, they're dumb.

Host (14:41)
