  • "Trump is my god", anti-trans televangelists, and more | Podcast 300
    In this podcast…
    There’s a far-right talk-show host named Josh Bernstein. He’s been around for years, but he’s making a splash again, so it’s worth it to look at some of his videos to see what he’s all about. Spoiler alert: it’s insane.
    Pastor Shane Vaughn has a perfect explanation for why God sent Donald Trump. It’s because satan sent Barack Obama, so god had to send an equally as extreme nutcase to even things out. Makes perfect sense, right?
    Televangelist Jack Hibbs just endorsed a political candidate from the pulpit. FFRF is going after him for it. But that’s not the first example of it. Surprisingly, or not so surprisingly, Hibbs has been endorsing political candidates from the pulpit for a very long time. Let’s talk about his sordid history with political candidates, successful and failed.

  • Eric Metaxas, Christian Nationalists, and more | Podcast 299
    In this podcast…
    You might not know Eric Metaxas, but I assure you, much of the far right does. He’s a radio host, kind of like Rush Limbaugh. His primary goal is to spread propaganda, and it’s crazy to watch. Let’s talk about this guy.
    Christian Nationalists claim we have nothing to fear. They just want to get things back to the way the founders originally intended, that’s all. So, what do christian nationalists really want? Is that true? Let’s talk about it,
    Mike Lindell is being forced to pay the 5 million he promised to a contest winner who proved he lied about the election

  • Anti-vax doctors, what Christian Nationalism REALLY is, and more | Podcast 298
    In this podcast…
    Joseph Ladapo, Surgeon General of Florida, is an anti-vaxer. He goes beyond simple anti-vaxer, though. He’s a doctor and he’s actively using his authority as an actor of the state to push absolutely insane conspiracies about the vaccine. It would be kind of entertaining and comical if it weren’t so sad
    Christian Nationalism isn’t really Christianity. Not completely. It’s an authoritarian ideology that seems to be using christianity as a carrier to get the believers where they want to be. I’m not just claiming that — I found some clips that prove it. Let’s talk about it.
    Kenneth Copeland was the subject of a documentary, so I want to talk about some of his… stranger clips. For one thing, He claims he’s going to live to 120. He didn’t just say it as an offhanded remark, either. He repeated it. He explained how he’s going to make it happen. What are his followers going to think when he doesn’t make it to 120? They’ll probably just think to themselves, “wow. What a great man. He loved god so much that god couldn’t stand to be away from him any longer.” These people need help. Immediately.

  • Andrew Wommack, and more | Podcast 297
    In this podcast…
    Pastor Andrew Wommack seems to be looking for the opportunity to take part in a civil war. It’s bizarre. As if he’d last a second in a war zone today.
    Let’s talk about the seven mountains mandate. It’s all over the place right now, and nobody fully understands just how integrated into society it is.
    tucker carlson interviewed vladimir putin and it went about as well as you'd expect. he practically let putin talk uninterrupted for 2 hours. let's talk about it.

  • ben shapiro thinks hes eminem, Televangelist Robert Jeffress, and more | Podcast 295
    In this podcast…
    Ben Shapiro wrote a rap song. After all that complaining he did about WAP, he decided to make a song that was surprisingly significantly worse. Oh, and it’s a total ripoff of Eminem’s Rap God. Buckle up. We’re going to listen to some MAGA music.
    Robert Jeffress, historical trump apply, wrote a new book about the end. Apparently, any time something happens in Israel, everybody thinks the end is right around the corner. Let’s take a look back at who this guy is and some of the dishonest and ridiculous stuff he’s had to say over the years.
    DEI has gone too far. Not the diversity, equity and inclusion programs, but the propaganda being spread about DEI. Charlie Kirk and others are using it as the basis for the belief that black people are inferior to white people, and it’s honestly wild to see it so brazen and out in the open.
    Trump prophet Julie green believes she has a successful prophecy on her hands. Since she’s using it as a puff in her petticoat, let’s talk about whether it was actually a successful prophecy, and some of her more glaring fails.

    In this podcast…
    There’s another court battle over Intelligent Design right now. This time, it’s taking place in West Virginia. Anybody surprised? Apparently, West Virginia republicans are trying to file a bill to get intelligent design taught in classrooms. Let’s talk about the tactics, and what intelligent design even is.
    theres an oklahoma representative that was just elected to state congress named dusty deevers. this dude wants to ban sexting. 20 year prison sentence for somebody who sends a sext, and a 1 year prison term for the recipient. this is
    Televangelist Jack Hibbs opened congress with prayer recently. Let’s talk about Jack Hibbs; what kind of person he is. Let’s talk about his values, beliefs, and interests. I’m sure it’ll come as no surprise to find that he’s an antisemitic, anti-gay nutter butter of epic proportions.

  • Kat Kerr convinced trump will win again, ben shapiro is a fraud, and more | Podcast 294
    In this podcast…
    Kat Kerr, self proclaimed prophet of god, claims that God told her trump would win the 2024 election. She made this same mistake in 2020 and it went poorly for her. I love this to death. Let’s watch her flail around madly as she tries to create new religious doctrine to explain why she was wrong.
    Ben Shapiro’s network, The Daily Wire, produced a comedy movie called “lady ballers”. It’s basically about hating trans people. Hilariously, he said he wanted to make a documentary about trans people joining sports teams, but he couldn’t find a sports team that would allow it. I’m not sure what he’s even complaining about.
    Bill Cook is a MAGA preacher. He seems to believe Trump is anointed by God. He’s a self proclaimed Christian Nationalist. He’s been repeating some deeply bizarre things recently, so I wanted to break down the strangest claims he’s made.

  • Mike Lindell is worse off than we thought, republican rep hates atheists, and more | Podcast 293
    In this podcast…
    The right all started piling on the same talking point the other day, and I wanted to know where it started. Who came up with this right wing propaganda? Fox News and Elon Musk won’t stop talking about it. Let’s see if we can find the original source.
    Kevin Sorbo played Hercules in that old TV show from the 90s, but now his life revolves around hating atheists and communism. His wife has a pet issue, too: homeschooling. Well, their homeschooled son is now old enough to intelligibly repeat the propaganda his parents told him, so he’s doing the right wing talk show circuit.
    Mike Lindell got canceled by Fox News. They pulled all his ads. Fox claimed it was because he didn’t pay. Lindell claims he was all paid up and this is another case of cancel culture striking again. Let’s talk about it.
    Republican representative Josh Schriver threw an absolute fit over a display the satanic temple put up. He’s looking for any way possible to disqualify the satanic temple as a religion. I never thought I’d see the day when a christian nationalist is calling for a church to lose tax exemption, but here we are.

  • Trump thinks he's god, anti-vax predictions and prophecy fail hilariously, and more | Podcast 292
    In this podcast…
    Donald Trump has been viewed as a literal stand-in for Jesus for a while now. He made the perception worse by posting a video on his social media network. It’s an absolutely bizarre video. We have to watch it.
    Trump supporter and qanonner Brenden Dilley has been close to trump for a long time. He’s the one that produced the video Trump released on his social media. Let’s talk about the bizarre things he’s had to say.
    Sherri Tenpenny and Stella Immanuel have been making predictions about covid for years. One of Tenpenny’s predictions just failed. again. I didn’t expect any differently, but it’s deeply entertaining to watch these people fall flat on their faces.

  • Kanye West APOLOGIZES for antisemitism, Bill Nye debate, and more | Podcast 291
    In this podcast…
    Last year, Kanye West came out of the closet as a nazi. I’m not using that word off-handedly — I mean, he’s a full-blown, self avowed nazi. He announced his position on the jewish community at the same time he announced his 2024 presidential candidacy. Well, he’s made a complete u-turn. He’s apologized to the jewish community and apparently canceled his presidential run. Let’s talk about it.
    Rick Scarborough, evangelical extremist, really doesn’t like Santa. I mean, the dude hates Santa. He feels the same way about the gay community. In some recent clips, he went off on the LGBT community for… looking gay? Yeah, that’s the best way I can describe it. He doesn’t think people should look gay.
    Bill Nye debated congressman Marsha Blackburn on climate change back in 2014. How’d the debate hold up after all these years? It’s bad. But in an entertaining way. What are these people going to say for themselves as it gets more obvious and undeniable? This video is a fascinating watch, and a piece of history.
