Or I went viral a month or two ago because I accurately called a lot of Bible thumpers religious
addicts.
And I went viral on the right among religious addicts who went nuts for me putting a mirror
up to them.
So I want you to think about how the United States of America right now, a lot of the
talk is, oh, these are crazy religious freaks in Iran.
And we have to go save them and we're going to go prevent them from getting a nuclear
weapon that they don't even want and that we had an agreement for them not to have.
And so we have all these lies from these people who are so concerned about religious extremism.
Listen, right here to the Secretary of Defense, a refuse out of spite and principle to
call him the Secretary of War.
It's stupid.
All right.
Play the clip.
Same to every American who wants peace through strength.
May Almighty God continue to bless our troops in this fight.
And again, to the American people, please pray for them every day, unbendingly with your
family, in your schools, in your churches, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is right.
That is complete insanity.
He is a religious fanatic.
He is a religious addict who personally, because he was grown up with so much religious
indoctrination is not right with God.
He thinks if he fights this holy war, he can still have his character defects, if you will,
liking sex, probably lying, beating off whatever that fills his brain with shame that the
religious indoctrination told him he couldn't do, so you have this completely broken addict
right here.
And he thinks if I deliver the United States of America as a Christian nation, I'll be right
with God.
And everything will be fine.
Furthermore, the propaganda in there about getting on your hands and knees with your family
and doing it at school.
This is the Secretary of Defense.
He is a radical Christian extremist, a rapture prepper, and an arrogant dipshit to go on
the world stage to lecture other people about religious extremism.
Here's the thing about Pete Hickseth.
He is not alone in his, I'm such a, you know, I'm so great and I'm so strong and I'm
going to, you know, take back God or take back America for God.
I know these people.
Okay.
I know them.
I've been around them.
I'm set next to them.
This is somebody who in my opinion and my personal experience is intellectually stunted.
When I was super religious like that, I did not critically think though critical thinking
and indoctrination, they can't live together.
This man is in so far over his head and I will just say what else reminds me about this
man with the people that I knew and now is bad behavior, terrible actions over and over
and over again with no accountability.
I can pray it away and it's all good and that in my opinion is such damage that we're
doing because no accountability for Pete Hickseth and his myriad, myriad of issues with
women.
Not only hidden in his personal life, he brings the pastor that doesn't think women should
come vote to the Pentagon.
So this man is a nut.
He should be nowhere near anybody and to have him sit there and lecture other people about
religion is so ridiculously hypocritical.
I honestly, when I saw that, I wanted to throw up in my mouth.
And the fact of the matter is this, all of these religious extremists think they're so
unique.
But they're all the same.
Yeah.
A radical Muslim, a radical Christian, a radical Zionist, a radical Mormon to me as a secular
person.
It's all the same shit.
It's all the same iron age thinking, authoritarian ruling, divorced from reality, bullshit.
And so the arrogance of the hubris that comes with that, that they think they are these
chosen people and messengers for God.
And it's, they're all the exact same broken person, you just switch around which iron age
book they study from.
Okay.
And then next up, here we have Pete Hickseth, just pathologically straight up lying and
making up conversations that never fucking happened, play the clip.
My 13 year old son popped into my office last night while I was editing these remarks.
He asked about the war and the families I met at Dover.
And I looked at him and I said, they died for you, son, so that your generation doesn't
have to deal with a nuclear Iran.
It's the truth.
No, it's not.
Never if I can happen.
Never happened.
Everybody knows who's watching this, that that didn't happen.
Everybody knows that your son didn't come into the room.
I just, I would bet everything in me that that didn't happen.
And then what kind of narcissistic extension bullshit is that via parenting?
They died for you.
Give me a fucking break.
Who would say that to their kid?
Why would you burden your kid with such trauma?
These kid, these young guys, 20 something ladies, and you tell your 13 year old kid,
well, they died for you.
Shut the fuck up.
They died for these fucking neocons and Benjamin Netanyahu and his far right Israeli government
that are die hard, warm, monger, terrorist, exploiters, liars, and Pete Hegseth is nothing
more than a puppet for the darker, more nefarious people.
They let him trot out to the American public to Christian signal.
To the aforementioned people that Pumps was talking about because if they hear him say
that, oh, everybody get on their hands and knees and pray for the troops.
That's it.
It's performative.
There's nothing behind it.
Nothing.
Republicans have proven time and time again that they have utter disdain for the troops,
utter disdain.
All they do is stand up at a baseball game or a basketball game.
We would like to welcome the veterans here and everybody's, oh, stand up, clap and they
do that, you know, national anthem, take their hats off and it's all this performative
shit do they ever vote for these broken people that come back to fight the wars of warm
mongering billionaires?
Do they ever think beyond it other than just that performative moment so everybody at the
game thinks, God, these are good people.
Right.
Right.
Everybody that came with that came out.
Those are good people.
No, they're fucking not constantly voting for the accumulation of wealth at the expense
of humanity and to tell your child they died for you as an extra layer of fucked upness
that that kid is going to be dealing with at rehab very shortly.
Well, here's the thing.
You know what?
Just rolled off the tongue like that because when you grow up in a evangelical Christian,
you're told over and over and over again, you carry the burden that Jesus died for you.
So if you don't reciprocate and here's the thing about that, like I know more about
Pete Hegg said than I want to, okay?
I thought I'm the rabbit hole because I hate him so much and I can 100% guarantee that
this net his bad behavior is longer than my arm.
He is the grossest, the absolute gross.
I think he has like seven kids, they all home school naturally.
Yeah, it's just, this is just generational, generational handed down Christian narcissism.
And it's just, I think you make a really brilliant point of the Jesus died for you.
So it's just this natural thing to say that all of that narcissism, okay.
And then here we have, how is the DOD with this guy when he's not on his hands and knees
praying with all seven kids while he homeschools and then telling, you know, I'll tell you
what son they died for you.
So you and your kids have to worry about Iran.
The kids probably, where the fuck is Iran?
Give me a break.
All right.
And so here's what the DOD says they're doing to sell the war to the American public.
You're going to die pumps.
Megan Messerley says, what's the White House's wartime comm strategy?
And they say, we're over here just grinding away on banger memes, dude, a senior White
House official said, great reporting from, and this is basically from Politico.
You can go read it there.
Leave that up for a second.
We're just grinding away on banger memes.
And we've seen this.
We've seen the better memes.
Here's the thing within the desk store, it is, when you have to just realize, and I'm
just going to say it very bluntly.
For people to see Donald Trump, for the 11 years that we've seen him on the national
stage, and to have triple trumped, we're not talking about the sharpest, the brightest,
and the best of us.
These people clearly are lacking a lot of skills in the brain, deduction skills, piecing
things together, skills sniffing out a liar, spotting a liar, spotting contradictory statements
within the same speech.
Coming on and on and on again.
And so in that world, that's how that's how they think is through memes.
There's no meaning.
These people believe in nothing.
If we make Donald Trump look like Superman, and we Photoshop his gut off of him.
If we level out the orange skin, if we're giving pectoral muscles, if we give him a full
thick head of hair, if we remove the cancels, if we remove the bruised hands, and we make
him look like he's a badass, I'm buying that all day long.
It's weird shit.
That's what they think.
They're projecting.
It's such a tell because they're projecting what would convince them.
Right.
Yeah.
Well, and I also read right before we hopped on here, they're going to start sending
messages through SpongeBob SquarePants.
I was like, what?
What?
We're not a serious country.
You know, you see all over the world, everybody sit there going, miscalculation, they have
screwed the pooch.
This is a disaster.
I read an article earlier, you know, financial times, Armageddon with all of this oil and
all of this shit, and they're worried about the memes.
That's who's in charge because we don't like experts anymore.
We want Facebook doctors instead of scientific experts.
It just, it's unbelievable that we're here yet it's absolutely on brand.
Yeah.
I just remember that every single time a Republican person tells you, I vote my pocket
book and I'm physically conservative.
They are a dipshit and a liar who willfully lies to themselves and they are incapable
of looking at the historical body of evidence that every single Republican administration
has produced, which is this.
The only thing different about Trump and the others is he did it in record time.
He got hit the ground running.
I read a report this morning, Pumps, zero economic growth in the United States.
Yes.
Zero.
Zero growth.
So all of these, well, I'm a fiscal conservative, you know, I'm a business, I'm a business,
my husband's in business.
So we have to vote Republican because it's physically conservative.
Fuck off.
All right.
And then next up, this is how stupid, stupid, stupid America is right now, pop this up.
King Al Jazeera, the US may un-sinction Iranian oil to ease pressure from US is really
war, roiling energy markets.
And Aaron Bastani says this is literally the dumbest war in human history.
No hyperbole.
So here's how it goes, you guys.
We attack Iran.
We are supposed to be on the side of Ukraine.
Oil crisis because Pentagon said, hey, buddy, don't poke the bear.
You're going to break everything around the world.
Trump moved them out of the room and put Kushner, Whitcoff, Rubio, the brain trust of
dipshits in the room.
He decided, I'm going to bomb them anyway.
And then he's like, nobody told us about the Straits of Hormuz.
And it's like, yeah, we have a Pentagon that has ran every possible calculation.
It's been over there for decades, for decades, they've known about the Straits of Hormuz.
You fucking wore on, but he does it anyway.
So then he un-synctions Russia, who is also sending information to Iran about how to
attack American bases in the Middle East.
And now we're un-synctioning Iran.
So who are we fucking fighting the war for?
Russia and Iran?
Somebody fucking tell me because Trump in one hand says, oh, we're not at war.
We won the war.
The war's going to go in a long time.
The war's over.
I mean, I don't know why they're controlling the Straits of Hormuz because we won.
I mean, this is just, it's so insane and it makes me so mad that so many people in government
right now that they just continue to allow this fuckery and this dipshittery and this
abjects stupidity and ignorance, willful ignorance, to go on and on and America deserves all
the criticism in the world and listen or do not let one person tell you that you cannot
criticize Benjamin Netanyahu or the country of Israel.
That is the most anti-democratic bullshit propaganda that's being perpetrated on us right
now.
All right.
