Have you ever thought it was strange that Lindsey Graham, the alleged heterosexual senator from South Carolina, says that he is in Israel every two weeks taking picture with Mossad agents non stop make Iran great again. And I always see, every time I see that, I think, how in the actual F does Lindsey Graham going to Israel every two weeks help working class South Carolinians?
C
How?
B
And then you've got Ted Cruz. I mean, just one of the worst human beings on the planet, the biggest Israel thumper on the planet. How on earth. When he said one of his main goals when he arrived at the Senate was to be Israel's top ally. I was born in Texas. I'm very familiar with rural Texas and suburban Texas. How do these policies help Texans? And then you have Mike Huckabee, the ambassador to Israel, who recently said, according to the Bible, Israel was entitled to all of it, all of the Middle East. And I always wonder, like, how does this help people in rural Arkansas? Like, what is this? Well, here's the thing. These people are white Christian nationalist rapture preppers. They have. They believe in the spiritual warfare and they have a very apocalyptic fantasy for Israel and Jewish people. And it is simply this. 20, 26 people believe this. And it's really important that you lock in and understand this, because there are swaths of Trump supporters that believe this to be true, that in order for Jesus Christ to rapture to come back down from heaven, the Jews must be in Israel. And here's the kicker. When Jesus comes down, guess what happens to the Jews that don't accept him, that stay, you know, firm with their Judaism? They go to hell. So it's not even that pro Jewish at all. It is this weird apocalyptic fantasy that is now translating to foreign policy in the United States of America. And independent journalist Jonathan Larson has uncovered some really disturbing shit. It doesn't surprise me because I grew up in the Bible Belt and these people are nuts. But pop, this Up. US Troops report commanders framing Iran war as, quote, God's plan as first reported by independent journalist Jonathan Larson. A U.S. combat unit commander told non commissioned officers that the war in Iran is part of, quote, God's divine plan, allegedly claiming President Donald Trump was anointed by Jesus to ignite Armageddon. The complaint filed with the Military Religious Freedom foundation is one of more than 110 logged with within 48 hours from over 40 units across at least 30 installations. Complaints including Christians, a Muslim and a Jew have requested anonymity to rev to avoid retaliation. The Pentagon has yet to respond. You guys, this is how this base of Donald Trump, they believe in a binary world, good versus evil. They believe that Donald Trump is the good and that liberals anti war people are evil. And this Pete Hexeth is a total whacked out Bible thumper with an insane, insane pastor, which we have covered. And I won't get into that again to avoid repetition. These people are incredibly dangerous Christian nationalists and this Iron age thinking is guiding foreign policy at the Pentagon. But we shouldn't be surprised because Trump has a faith office. And before they walk into the White House every day, they engage in some casual tongue talking in the West Wing parking lot, which we played that video for you guys before too. These people are insane and untethered to reality. And I'm just going to say it once and I'm going to say it again. White Christian evangelicalism is a death cult, a total death cult. Look at what they're doing here.
C
You know, it's interesting. I remember as a small child, having grown up in a super evangelical household and church, when the, I think it was around the time of Reagan's election, they were talking about Armageddon, they were talking about how it would come from Iran, that that would be started there and to start preparing. So I have family members that I'm sure are prepping for this. And it sounds insane, but it is true. There is no doubt in my mind because I think I was 8 years old because I remember thinking, so the end of the world is coming and it's just Iran. I mean, you know, you're just kind of like happening here.
B
It's nuts.
C
But so that is absolutely correct. There is no doubt. We are preparing. We're getting our stockpiles, we're doing it all. And I have family members doing it. So I know it's true.
B
And this is something that the Republican Party has been able to penetrate into politics for so long, long before Trump. And all of these ideas have been there and then they get a useful idiot, a Trojan horse to take them all the way into the federal government. And so these people surrounding Trump, you have to remember, in order to buy into this guy's a convicted felon, grab him by bankrupts, casinos, you have to tell them an extraordinary lie. And the extraordinary lie is, oh, he's Jesus's imperfect vessel, right? God uses imperfect vessels to trick Satan and the Satanists and the evil people. And there is a whole swath of people that believe this shit in the United States of America. And the Democratic Party has got to start responding to this because they have brought religion to the executive branch and it is, it is going to be rubber stamped and has been rubber stamped by the Supreme Court. These Christian nationalists started before Trump, are using Trump as their imperfect vessel, I'll give them that. And they have plans long after Trump. I mean, these people are dangerous, diabolical, and ambitious. And guess who knows all of this? Benjamin Netanyahu. Benjamin Netanyahu. Also, because Israel is so unpopular, it turns out, doing a genocide, running an apartheid state, telling people they cannot criticize your country, it turns out all of that is incredibly unpopular and he knows it. So he is now spending lots of money flying over mega church pastors and white Christians to Israel to indoctrinate them so that he can indoctrinate American youth to be pro Israel thumpers. And he knows the language of, of the white evangelical movement. And it's very binary. It's good versus bad, good versus evil. Listen to BB On Sean Hannity.
D
We're fighting here. The bad guys, we're the good guys.
B
Okay, that might not seem like that much to you all, but I'll speak to it, and I'll let Pump speak to it, because she grew up in it. I was raised in the same place that Pumps was, by secular parents in a secular house. My mother despised religion because we lived around people that were these crazy Christian nationals like me. And the. This, this sort of simplistic thinking is how the whole thing breathes. It's how it gives it oxygen. It's how they stamp out critical thinking. It is good versus bad. And if you have any questions about something that doesn't sound right, they'll say, oh, that's an evil question. So everything goes back to that simplistic framing. And if you notice the way Trump campaigned and you notice the messaging that Benjamin Netanyahu is using there, this is all hardwired and programmed for Trump's base. This is a desire to keep the cult of personality together, which we have been reporting for months now about the fissures. And that pumps. Why don't you speak to the listener about how simplistic this worldview is? Good, bad, good, evil.
C
Yeah, everything is good, bad. Absolutely. But one thing when you question, the response is, well, even though you like your stomach saying, no, this is not right, you're having every instinct is like, this is not right. Then you are told you have to have faith. God is watching your faith. And if you don't have faith, God will know it. So not only is critical thinking criticized, then you're kind of told it's a sin because then you don't know it's blasphemy. Yeah, and here's the thing. There was a commercial when I was young. It had like the person on one shoulder, good one, one shoulder evil. And as a child, that is how I grew up just thinking of it, because that was a commercial when I was a child. Like, good, evil, happy, sad. There was no gray area. Everything was black and white. And questioning was not tolerated. And here's the thing about it, super religious parents, I mean, Trumpers to the core in terms of the imperfect vessel.
B
I have a.
C
My mother defended. She is a purity culture, no sex before marriage, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Straight down the line. She defended the Stormy Daniels affair. She defended the affair with the Playboy bunny while Melania was pregnant. So the ability to disassociate from reality and just pick what you want is also part of the teaching of Christianity because you're taught if you feel bad about it, you don't think it's right. You have to ignore it and disassociate from it. Because if not, you're evil.
B
It's wild. Okay, so moving along here, here's BB on the same interview with Sean Hannity. And I just want to point out, a serious head of state would not choose Sean Hannity. These are serious things. We are going to war. We are killing people. They in turn are going to strike back. They are going to kill people. This is as serious as it gets. And you don't go to such an unserious person as Sean Hannity to make your case unless you want to peddle propaganda. And Bibi knows that Donald Trump like psychotically free bases. Fox News. And Trump was even promoting Go watch Bibi on Sean Hannity tonight, you know, on Lie Social. And so here is Bibi just glazing Trump. And I don't know how this is not embarrassing for people. I'll never understand that because it's just, I guess they're just so emotionally stunted. But listen to how embarrassing this is for the Israeli government and for Sean Hannity and for every person with an IQ. I'm going to even say 95 or higher. Play the clip.
D
I'm not a youngster, so I've been around. There's never been a president like Donald J. Trump. His resoluteness, his decisiveness, his clarity of thinking, the way he gets things, gets right to the crux of things. It cuts through all the fluff, cuts through the chase, gets down to the main point, and it gets down to the main action that needs to be taken.
B
I mean, that is just. It is crazy. That is so crazy. That is so insulting to even, I would say, a moderate, moderately intelligent MAGA voter. Everybody knows this guy the weave and all this stuff. Like, he cuts through. I mean, what are you talking about? He just gets on there and glazes him so he can keep him engaged. Because that's how weak the American president is. That's the thesis sentence listener. The President of the United States is so weak. All it takes is for Benjamin Netanyahu to go on there and talk about how smart he is, which we all know is a fucking lie. He's a. He's objectively a. With dementia and some sort of, I don't know, STD on his neck and hands and ankles. It's just. It's so insulting. And these people are horrible. So I think that Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump are both aging autocrats. They both are trying to get around accountability. Donald Trump is going to get around it because of our fucking Supreme Court. They gave him immunity, Bibi. Maybe not. And so scholars tell us about the autocratic gamble. And so these guys have taken a gamble. They're not popular at home. None of the shit they're doing is popular. So they have gambled on this war with Iran. And most of the time, autocratic gambles end in an autocratic backfire. So that's just to leave you with possibly a little bit of news, but I want to close with this story, and I think it's important, the framing that we've done here. Our military are told that they are fighting a holy war. Soldiers from the United States of America are being told that they are fighting a holy, holy war. And there are complaints that are being filed and they're being ignored by this Pentagon because the Secretary of Defense, his main preacher, doesn't want women to vote and supports pedophiles. And this is. These are facts, okay? That's how fucked up. The Department of Defense is right now. So they want to tell you that they're Christians, they're pro life and all of these things. And here's always been the fundamental problem for me with war. I remember when Benjamin Netanyahu and the United States government lied and said there was yellow cake in Iraq and that Saddam Hussein needed to be ousted. Thousands of Americans died and reporting of up to a million Iraqis died. I was upset equally for the Iraqis that were killed because I live in a country now that I don't agree with my government. I'm not pro Trump's version of America. I think it fucking sucks. And a lot of people are just human beings that can't help where they're born. It's not a choice that they make. People don't choose. I'm going to be born in America. I'm going to be born in Iraq. I am sad about all of the lives lost in wars because I believe in universal human rights. And this is something I remember having a specific conversation with my mother. She was like, well, well, clearly they're attacking the wrong country, darlin. And I feel bad for all the Iraqis. Empathy and humanity was always something that was relevant in conversations in my life. And so as horrible as the Iranian regime is, and they are horrible, a horrible regime, understand that they have people that live in that country. Some are going to be happy that the Ayatollah is killed. Some are not going to be happy about it. It's a country of almost 100 million people and this is so sad. Pop this up. Drop site Nude. The bodies of 140 people killed in the strike on Manab Girls School have been identified so far with 25 more awaiting identification. Mazan news reports. So this holy war that Pete Hegseth and Benjamin Netanyahu and I can't even hardly barely include Trump in that because his brain is so cooked. Have y' all seen him on interviews lately? I mean, the dementia is so accelerated. We have darker, more nefarious forces. We have the Prime Minister of Israel going on Fox News to explain to the American public why we went to war and not the American President explaining it. We have Rubio blaming Israel. We have the administration blaming smokey eye sociopath JD Vance. Just incompetence run amok. But we cannot forget Benjamin Netanyahu in the United States of America bombed a school because reporting, get this guys reporting is that they were using an old map and these little girls and these little kids are dead. And Western media will only continue to report on Americans that are killed. And in Israeli news, they say, oh, you know, six troops were killed, thank God it wasn't any Israelis. And so I want you to notice how much gets shifted to the, to America into using American boots on the ground, which Pete Hegg says has not ruled out. These are going to be working class people that the military went into those neighborhoods and recruited to offer them a future that are going to be on the front lines. Benjamin Netanyahu's son that lives in Miami, he's not going to be on the lines. You think Dumb and Dumber or Baron are going to be on the front lines? No, this is serious. And we have these incompetent people in the United States government that are either rapture preppers or addled with dementia so badly they can't, they don't know come here from Sikum. And then we have a genocidal, homicidal, pathological, liar, terrorist Benjamin Netanyahu that goes on the American airwaves because our president's too weak and too compromised to do it and lies to the American public. That's where we are.
C
Well, and when you think about 27% of Americans support this war, Trump is not making a case like, here's why we went in. You have all kinds of different reasons now. You know, I wanted to get him before they got me. Just stupid shit. So you have Benjamin Netanyahu going on Fox and saying how great Trump is, which to me, I'm like, in his head, he is laughing all the way to realizing his 40 year dream. Yeah, I can go and glaze him up on Fox News because I'm getting everything the fuck I want, but I've got to keep the American sweet on it. And now it's less than 30% of Americans are in on this. I just, the whole thing with the different reasons we're going, there are no objectives, there are no plans. This is just, hey, we're going to drop bombs and oh, sorry, you're at the US Embassy, we can't get, get you out. I mean, talk about just a fool's errand on top of fool's errand. All because Trump is so broken and behavior is so bad in the past and now he is. I mean, honestly, if he were my parent, I would be like, it is time to hide you away. This is embarrassing.
B
Do you remember that commercial in the 80s where it was like, is a skillet and it was like, this is your brain. This is your cracked neck. This is your brain on drugs. Like, that's and it shows your brain being cooked. I think Trump's brain is that cooked with dementia. Like, this is your brain. This is your brain on dementia. And BB Knows it. BB Knows that the support for Israel and the American public is the lowest it's ever been. And the biggest, most manipulated, easily blackmailed, compromised, weakest old queen ever is the president of the United States. And this was his time to make his 40 year make a wish dream come true. And Americans are going to die for it. Iranians are going to die for it. And this we have these evil men that are going to go and try to propagandize us that they're not evil. They. They're the good guys. And it's such bullshit. It is such total bullshit. All right.
