Speaker 3: Probably literally God damned after this episode.
0:43
Speaker 2: You know, it depends who you call God or what
0:46
Speaker 2: you call God.
0:46
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a good point. By but yeah, some one
0:49
Speaker 5: by God is gonna damn us.
0:50
Speaker 4: Yeah.
0:50
Speaker 2: Maybe by this the subjects of today's episode, well maybe yeah,
0:54
Speaker 2: maybe they're that God frown upon us.
0:57
Speaker 4: This is a weird one. It's a very weird episode.
0:59
Speaker 2: When you texted me this shit last night, I man,
1:04
Speaker 2: I wasn't ready.
1:05
Speaker 3: I sprung this on you very late. It took me
1:07
Speaker 3: a while because I know we still have to do
1:09
Speaker 3: part two of that Finders episode. But god damn it,
1:12
Speaker 3: it's almost Christmas. I don't have them. I'm just not
1:16
Speaker 3: in the headspace for that right now. Maybe in twenty
1:19
Speaker 3: twenty we'll get back to talking about global sex trafficking rings.
1:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a lot. It was a lot, you know.
1:24
Speaker 2: I think we can wait for the next installment.
1:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then so look Cliffhanger, Yeah, and this was.
1:30
Speaker 2: You were switching it up a lot, like I don't
1:32
Speaker 2: think I've talked about Trump at all on here.
1:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I was.
1:36
Speaker 5: I was not even fully about him. It's not really
1:39
Speaker 5: just a sort of a figure him. Yeah, he's the
1:42
Speaker 5: figure at the center of it. And I was trying
1:46
Speaker 5: to find something Christmas related. But we did the War
1:48
Speaker 5: on Christmas last year at Christmas, so we couldn't really
1:52
Speaker 5: do that again.
1:53
Speaker 4: I found a.
1:54
Speaker 3: Conspiracy theory from a guy who says Christianity as a
1:58
Speaker 3: whole was made up to keep like, uh, I think
2:04
Speaker 3: Roman slaves in check. But that seemed a little too
2:10
Speaker 3: like that's then it felt like I was participating in
2:12
Speaker 3: the War on Christmas, Like, yeah, I could do that
2:15
Speaker 3: episode anytime. Why would I do it at Christmas?
2:18
Speaker 2: What does Christmas have to do with the birth of
2:19
Speaker 2: Christ Christmas today?
2:21
Speaker 4: That's that's in December.
2:24
Speaker 2: And also Christianity wasn't that sort of filtered heavily through
2:28
Speaker 2: the Romans?
2:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's one of the theories, is that it's
2:33
Speaker 3: actually theory.
2:34
Speaker 2: I thought that was that's his history.
2:36
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean to what extent was it filtered? Though?
2:39
Speaker 3: Because there's this there's a theory out there that Christianity
2:43
Speaker 3: is just not real, Like the entire story of Jesus
2:47
Speaker 3: is plagiarized from other texts.
2:49
Speaker 2: Well, I'll say this much, Jesus seems dope if he
2:51
Speaker 2: was real, dope a character, still dope, but like all
2:56
Speaker 2: this shit. You know, I'm not a fan of dogma.
2:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not a big organized religion guy.
3:03
Speaker 2: Well yeah, the whole like you have to do this
3:05
Speaker 2: or you're it's the whole wrong or right? I think
3:07
Speaker 2: black or white these you know, that doesn't sit well
3:11
Speaker 2: with me personally, but you know, whoever it does, what
3:14
Speaker 2: do you My thing has always killed people.
3:17
Speaker 4: Then that there are so.
3:18
Speaker 3: Many groups out there who think, well, our way is
3:20
Speaker 3: the right way, and if you don't do what we're doing,
3:23
Speaker 3: you're all going to Hell or whatever happens to you after.
3:26
Speaker 3: And it, yeah, it's just it just makes it like
3:28
Speaker 3: that can't be right, Like that can't logically how could it?
3:31
Speaker 4: That can't possibly be right.
3:33
Speaker 3: So I've fought, like since since I was a kid,
3:35
Speaker 3: I've kind of had that thought about organized religion likewise,
3:39
Speaker 3: and I like, I don't necessarily.
3:41
Speaker 2: It was like that, you know what the thing is
3:43
Speaker 2: is like that was my introduction to like sort of
3:48
Speaker 2: I guess, I don't want to say spirituality, but like
3:50
Speaker 2: that sort of thing, like so that was crazy to have,
3:52
Speaker 2: Like that is your first window to that.
3:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it. I don't like, I don't necessarily like,
3:58
Speaker 3: I'm not an atheist. I don't like necessarily believe there's
4:02
Speaker 3: no God.
4:03
Speaker 4: I just I don't. I don't know.
4:05
Speaker 2: I like I like to think of God as a concept. Yeah,
4:08
Speaker 2: I'm an operating system if nothing else.
4:10
Speaker 3: God exists as a concept like whether a person, like
4:14
Speaker 3: whether Ricky Gervais believes it or not, like so many
4:17
Speaker 3: other people do.
4:19
Speaker 4: And in that way, like God.
4:21
Speaker 3: At least exists to those people and as a force
4:23
Speaker 3: in the world that you have to reckon with.
4:25
Speaker 2: But yeah, also I guess yes, so maybe a better
4:28
Speaker 2: term would be sort of like force versus like because
4:32
Speaker 2: the personification, I think is where, you know, things get
4:36
Speaker 2: a little muddled.
4:37
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, for sure, you know. I think.
4:40
Speaker 2: I like to think, like, Okay, we're all God playing
4:43
Speaker 2: like you're playing Adam and I'm playing Pizza right until
4:46
Speaker 2: we're done.
4:47
Speaker 4: We're going to destroy Mars someday.
4:49
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't really sky War Mike, I tried
4:52
Speaker 2: to not Oh.
4:53
Speaker 4: I'm a sky god. I'm sorry.
4:54
Speaker 2: Calm oh, I'm a yeah, I'm a I'm a peaceful
4:58
Speaker 2: I'm a peaceful god.
5:00
Speaker 4: I guess I'm winning that war.
5:01
Speaker 2: Huh yeah, yeah, you know, I'm just a path the
5:03
Speaker 2: least resistant. You don't even like, do we have to fight?
5:06
Speaker 2: Can we talk?
5:08
Speaker 3: Just go around, take the left, Leane, go your bedroom.
5:15
Speaker 3: So we're all, God, we're talking about the Trump prophecy.
5:20
Speaker 3: That's what I somehow landed on for a Christmas esque topic.
5:25
Speaker 3: And this is one of those things that seems kind
5:28
Speaker 3: of silly and lighthearted, but it's really not like this
5:31
Speaker 3: is Oh it was heavy. It's heavy, and it's like
5:36
Speaker 3: it actually happened. It's like it's a silly movie you
5:39
Speaker 3: can watch on Amazon. But also the things depicted in
5:44
Speaker 3: the movie in some sense did occur, and uh it
5:48
Speaker 3: it feels it has a lot of the same elements
5:51
Speaker 3: as the flat Earth conspiracy to me, in that once
5:55
Speaker 3: you believe the flat Earth conspiracy, there's so many other
5:59
Speaker 3: Like one of the underlying beliefs of flat Earthers is
6:03
Speaker 3: that all of history and science is basically a lie.
6:07
Speaker 3: So you can't come back at them with scientific evidence
6:11
Speaker 3: proving the Earth is round. Yeah, they'll just go, well,
6:16
Speaker 3: that's yeah, that's science lying to us. And this does
6:19
Speaker 3: the same thing because this is a movie based on
6:23
Speaker 3: actual events that kind of inspired the theory that Trump
6:29
Speaker 3: is ordained by God to be our president right now.
6:35
Speaker 3: And that is such a dangerous belief for people in
6:42
Speaker 3: at least the American political system to have, because you're
6:46
Speaker 3: not like once a leader's base believes that that this
6:51
Speaker 3: is a mission from God and.
6:54
Speaker 2: Like a divine interception and the specific motive, I mean,
6:58
Speaker 2: like it happened, so it's like obvious, you know, it
7:01
Speaker 2: was right allowed to happen, or it was meant to
7:04
Speaker 2: be because it is. But you know, as far as God,
7:08
Speaker 2: you know, having the specific agenda right in favor of
7:13
Speaker 2: a few privileged people is ridiculous.
7:16
Speaker 4: It's yeah, it's it's ridiculous.
7:18
Speaker 3: And it also eliminates any possibility that at least that
7:23
Speaker 3: segment of Trump's base is ever going to question anything
7:27
Speaker 3: he does.
7:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very hard to reach people right when they
7:31
Speaker 2: have that programming, because that's what it is.
7:33
Speaker 4: It's it's absolutely programming.
7:35
Speaker 2: So it's like it would how could you you know,
7:38
Speaker 2: how could you connect and reason there?
7:40
Speaker 3: Right?
7:40
Speaker 2: How could could you? There'd be a difficulty finding common
7:43
Speaker 2: ground because everything, you know, it's God's plan.
7:46
Speaker 3: So if God's do if if if it happened in
7:49
Speaker 3: the course of God's ordained plan for the United States.
7:54
Speaker 3: So what like that when Trump says I could shoot
7:57
Speaker 3: someone on Fifth Avenue and my followers wouldn't give up
8:01
Speaker 3: on me, that's what he means.
8:03
Speaker 4: Like they know.
8:04
Speaker 3: That, Like, especially people who deal with political campaigns, and
8:10
Speaker 3: especially political campaigns that appeal to evangelical types, they know that.
8:16
Speaker 3: They know that once they have a leader in their mind,
8:20
Speaker 3: like if you can get it in their heads that
8:22
Speaker 3: God is the one who wants him to be president,
8:26
Speaker 3: nothing else matters.
8:26
Speaker 2: That's the bedrock of their faith and foundation of how
8:29
Speaker 2: they operate. So it's just like you questioning that is
8:32
Speaker 2: just like would be shattering. For whatever reason they fell
8:34
Speaker 2: into that, and it's and it feels good to them, right,
8:37
Speaker 2: it feels good. And yeah, I guess that is. That's
8:42
Speaker 2: that's so not where I am. It's it's it's difficult
8:49
Speaker 2: knowing just not having sort of any common ground, yeah, aside,
8:54
Speaker 2: you know, aside from basic human stuff, but like you know,
8:56
Speaker 2: in society.
8:59
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, yeah, this was wild. So let's talk about
9:03
Speaker 3: the actual story. Mark Taylor, which is also his name
9:07
Speaker 3: in the movie. The movie is called The Trump Prophecy.
9:09
Speaker 3: It's on Amazon thing biopick or is a biopic. Yeah,
9:13
Speaker 3: it's by I think biopic.
9:15
Speaker 2: Biopic group of doctors. It sounds like something like a procedure.
9:21
Speaker 4: Uh.
9:22
Speaker 3: And it's based on a guy named Mark Taylor who
9:26
Speaker 3: is a retired Orlando based firefighter, which meaningless detail. That's
9:32
Speaker 3: the kind of thing that people throw in so you
9:36
Speaker 3: hear it and go, oh, well, he must be a
9:37
Speaker 3: good dude. He's a firefighter. Fuck that, it's just a job. Yeah,
9:41
Speaker 3: he's a firefighter. Firefighters can have nervous breakdowns also, which
9:46
Speaker 3: I think is clearly what happened to Ushan. Yeah, he's
9:50
Speaker 3: just a person.
9:51
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's like there's you know, they're not Yeah,
9:54
Speaker 2: I think maybe. So you think they're sort.
9:55
Speaker 6: Of using that as a kind of like as a pitch, Yeah,
10:01
Speaker 6: sort of like so marketing, like this guy's character is
10:05
Speaker 6: so because there is the As we get into this,
10:09
Speaker 6: it becomes pretty clear that either this guy has some
10:11
Speaker 6: sort of mental illness or he's just a scam artist.
10:15
Speaker 3: And at this point in history, I'm not sure which
10:19
Speaker 3: it is, but in the movie they depict it as
10:21
Speaker 3: sort of a mental illness, but not really what.
10:25
Speaker 2: He does have mental health issueses PTSD.
10:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, from we'll talk about it.
10:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I can't. Let let's dig in.
10:34
Speaker 3: But what he claims, and this is in real life.
10:38
Speaker 3: He claims this in twenty eleven, he was watching a
10:42
Speaker 3: TV interview with Donald Trump, and during that interview, he
10:45
Speaker 3: hears the voice of God tell him you're hearing the
10:49
Speaker 3: voice of president, not even of a president, You're hearing
10:54
Speaker 3: the voice of president.
10:56
Speaker 2: Okay, there was not even an article before it.
10:58
Speaker 4: No, no, so gives a point. Yeah, God not English.
11:03
Speaker 4: Isn't God's first language?
11:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean why would it be?
11:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's historically, it doesn't seem like that would track
11:09
Speaker 3: that it would be.
11:10
Speaker 2: Why would there even need to be language?
11:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, Maybe that Maybe that's God. He knows we
11:16
Speaker 3: don't even need that fucking a there, Like he's just
11:19
Speaker 3: that that much more enlightened than us. And he claims that, Yeah,
11:25
Speaker 3: God said, you're hearing the voice of president.
11:27
Speaker 2: And Trump was on the TV while he was watching.
11:30
Speaker 3: And Trump was on the TV. So he he's like, shit,
11:34
Speaker 3: I'm a prophet because Trump was like toying with the
11:37
Speaker 3: idea of running for office in twenty twelve.
11:39
Speaker 2: Also, yeah, so this was actually yeah, this is twenty eleven,
11:43
Speaker 2: right when he was watching TV and got you know,
11:47
Speaker 2: on his download from the power greater than him.
11:51
Speaker 3: And God was wrong at least in that election, because
11:54
Speaker 3: time is Trump didn't.
11:57
Speaker 4: Yeah.
11:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, obviously twenty twelve.
12:00
Speaker 3: It would be funny if like after the twenty twelve
12:02
Speaker 3: election he gets another message from God that's like, oh listen,
12:06
Speaker 3: I'm not perfect. Okay, it's gonna happen, But this guy
12:10
Speaker 3: is getting mental health treatment.
12:12
Speaker 4: I believe he's seeing a doctor.
12:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's PTSD from prior to his last rescue
12:22
Speaker 2: what is that what they call him? Rescue mission? A
12:25
Speaker 2: child died in a fire. I think it was a
12:26
Speaker 2: crack house, right, he yeah, he was.
12:31
Speaker 4: He was.
12:32
Speaker 3: He was all torn up over it, even though in
12:34
Speaker 3: the movie at one point he's like, I've seen everything
12:36
Speaker 3: on my job, and it's like the death of one
12:38
Speaker 3: kid fucked you up this bad? Then, Yeah, that's that's
12:42
Speaker 3: included in everything. Yeah, so you know you implies you've
12:45
Speaker 3: seen like dead little girls, dead old women, dead old men,
12:49
Speaker 3: dead pets.
12:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just wonder, how is you know that was
12:52
Speaker 2: the straw that you know, yeah, broke the proverbial camel's back.
12:56
Speaker 3: Why are there so many deaths in his fires? Also
12:59
Speaker 3: get this fire faster Mark Taylor? Maybe that was the problem.
13:02
Speaker 2: Geez uh damn firefighter prophet so well by now. But yeah,
13:09
Speaker 2: I mean that's horrible. But yeah, so he had PTSD.
13:11
Speaker 2: He was seeing a doctor for it. I think maybe
13:14
Speaker 2: he was medicated. I don't remember. I fell asleep during
13:17
Speaker 2: the movie, to be honest. So I read up on
13:19
Speaker 2: the stick since it was based on real events, I
13:21
Speaker 2: just read up on this story.
13:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's prescribed medication in the movie at one point,
13:25
Speaker 3: but then he's like, I'm.
13:26
Speaker 4: Not taking those pills. It's like, oh, good good, Yeah,
13:29
Speaker 4: this is heading down a good road.
13:32
Speaker 3: And the doctor he was seeing was a guy named
13:35
Speaker 3: doctor Don Colbert. And Don Colbert gets a at one
13:39
Speaker 3: point notebook full of basically messages from God that Mark
13:44
Speaker 3: Taylor has received over the years.
13:48
Speaker 2: So yeah, so Mark recorded his prophecies down, he wrote them,
13:53
Speaker 2: and then for some reason he brought them to his doctor.
13:56
Speaker 2: And instead of his doctor, instead of like saying, hey,
14:00
Speaker 2: maybe we should talk about this and giving him a referral,
14:04
Speaker 2: showed it to his wife, who is an was she
14:07
Speaker 2: an she evangelist.
14:09
Speaker 3: Or is a international ministry networker. Her name's Mary Colbert,
14:18
Speaker 3: and I mean networker. She just builds networks of like
14:22
Speaker 3: minded people, I assume, because that's what she did in
14:24
Speaker 3: this case. Instead of oh, why she gave him a career,
14:28
Speaker 3: she did, yeah, she What happened is she gets this
14:31
Speaker 3: notebook and instead of his doctor going, because that's like
14:35
Speaker 3: the one good decision in this whole story, is Mark
14:38
Speaker 3: Taylor going, maybe my doctor should see this notebook of
14:41
Speaker 3: messages from God. And instead of his doctor going like
14:45
Speaker 3: you need fucking electroshock therapy or something, Jesus Christ and
14:49
Speaker 3: so much for us the hipocratic, Yeah, he passes it
14:52
Speaker 3: to his ultra religious wife and she's like, yeah, this
14:56
Speaker 3: does sound like prophecy.
14:58
Speaker 4: She actually in.
14:58
Speaker 2: The movie uses you remember what year this was.
15:01
Speaker 3: This was two thousand and sixteen. It was right before
15:05
Speaker 3: the twenty sixteen election happened.
15:07
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I was right before Trump was elected. Right,
15:10
Speaker 2: And yeah, the prophecy, the one that I think he's
15:13
Speaker 2: famous for is the Trump prophecy.
15:15
Speaker 3: Right, And that's the one that she reads that really
15:19
Speaker 3: resonates with her, and she decides, well, this is the
15:22
Speaker 3: word of God, and now we need to see.
15:24
Speaker 2: It's crazy that that one is the one that resonates
15:27
Speaker 2: with her, that this like you know, real estate tycoon
15:30
Speaker 2: who grabs woman by the pussy, is the is the one.
15:33
Speaker 4: Insane such is her heart.
15:34
Speaker 3: It's insane that this is the dude evangelicals landed on
15:40
Speaker 3: as their choice. Wild but because God told Mark Taylor
15:44
Speaker 3: it was so. And this woman sets up a daily
15:49
Speaker 3: prayer conference call that at one point builds to one
15:55
Speaker 3: hundred thousand callers per day. Well, just all praying in
16:00
Speaker 3: Unison that Donald Trump be elected. So you're created forty
16:04
Speaker 3: fifth president.
16:05
Speaker 2: Creating a devoted, loyal following there that will work for
16:10
Speaker 2: his like to get him right, you know, and get
16:13
Speaker 2: him elected.
16:13
Speaker 4: And one hundred thousand that's not nothing. That's a lot
16:16
Speaker 4: of people.
16:17
Speaker 2: One hundred thousand a day, right, you know, I don't
16:19
Speaker 2: know if everyone is doing this every day.
16:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was.
16:22
Speaker 3: I mean she did it every day. So you didn't
16:25
Speaker 3: you fell asleep watching the movie. You didn't see the
16:26
Speaker 3: part where they blow the horns.
16:28
Speaker 2: No, I fell asleep. Pretty it was.
16:32
Speaker 3: It was, Yeah, it's a bad movie. It's it's a
16:35
Speaker 3: very bad movie. And we're gonna we'll talk about some
16:38
Speaker 3: of the details of the movie.
16:40
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, for what I what I caught.
16:42
Speaker 3: Is it's it's a fucking nightmare. But also had a
16:48
Speaker 3: pretty decent budget. Two million dollars was the budget.
16:51
Speaker 2: But they had a student crew.
16:53
Speaker 3: Liberty University which is one of the biggest Christian colleges
16:56
Speaker 3: in the United States. It's owned by Jerry Folwell Junior,
17:00
Speaker 3: I think, okay, and he's like a huge evangelical leader.
17:07
Speaker 4: So it was a student crew.
17:09
Speaker 3: But it was that university puts out like videos all
17:14
Speaker 3: the time and they try to make one feature film
17:17
Speaker 3: every year.
17:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard they didn't. They didn't make the money back,
17:21
Speaker 2: but it was still considered somewhat of like pretty much
17:24
Speaker 2: a success.
17:24
Speaker 4: Yeah.
17:25
Speaker 3: I made six hundred thousand dollars at the box office,
17:27
Speaker 3: which is more than I think most people would expect
17:30
Speaker 3: that it would have made. And so they they organized
17:35
Speaker 3: this daily prayer of one hundred thousand dollars a day,
17:40
Speaker 3: and sure enough, Trump wins, and immediately after Trump wins,
17:45
Speaker 3: not just Mary Colbert, but several other religious types are
17:50
Speaker 3: like God, because God valid Yeah, that's why Trump won
17:56
Speaker 3: because we prayed and he is God's chosen candidate. It
18:01
Speaker 3: write it down, and it should be noted. Not every
18:04
Speaker 3: religious leader, like not even like mainstream Christian types in
18:08
Speaker 3: the United States. Some of them were like, ah, you're
18:12
Speaker 3: being heretics right now.
18:14
Speaker 2: Ye this There were a lot of students at the
18:17
Speaker 2: university protested having this be the film that they were
18:20
Speaker 2: going to shoot this year.
18:22
Speaker 3: Right, and mostly on the grounds that this is a
18:25
Speaker 3: movie about how God selected a fucking a moral grifter
18:29
Speaker 3: to be president of the United States.
18:32
Speaker 2: It's not really a good look. It's a terrible look, so,
18:35
Speaker 2: I mean, and it's so confused. Everything's so confusing here.
18:40
Speaker 3: And so that's the crux of what happened. This guy
18:43
Speaker 3: has a fucking hallucination basically and decides Trump is going
18:48
Speaker 3: to be president.
18:48
Speaker 2: And prior to this, he was having regular fever dreams
18:52
Speaker 2: where he was in Hell and would see a demonic figure.
18:55
Speaker 2: He'd be like tortured by like some hell demon or something.
19:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was sick. He was he had mental illness.
19:03
Speaker 2: And his so his doctor is I mean, does anyone
19:06
Speaker 2: you know looking into that.
19:09
Speaker 3: That's the thing this is practice for like the audience
19:12
Speaker 3: this is for wants this already so bad yea, So
19:16
Speaker 3: they're not going to ask that many questions, like to them,
19:20
Speaker 3: and especially as you see it in the movie, he's
19:23
Speaker 3: not mentally ill, like he doesn't need pills, he doesn't
19:27
Speaker 3: like he's just he needs he needs Trump to fucking
19:29
Speaker 3: get elected so all of his crazy prophecies can be
19:34
Speaker 3: shown to be true.
19:36
Speaker 2: And he's had other prophecies that didn't turn out.
19:40
Speaker 3: He's got that's the thing this guy has. Will talk
19:44
Speaker 3: about it more at the end of the episode. But
19:46
Speaker 3: this guy has gone on to start a YouTube page
19:48
Speaker 3: that's got like hundreds of prophecy videos and he's got
19:52
Speaker 3: a ton.
19:53
Speaker 2: Of followers five five figures.
19:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got forty three thousand followers plus on YouTube,
20:00
Speaker 3: which is a lot.
20:01
Speaker 4: It's more than this show has.
20:03
Speaker 3: Like he's reaching more of an audience than us with
20:05
Speaker 3: a really fucking destructive message. But this movie, this movie
20:10
Speaker 3: is fucking terrible.
20:12
Speaker 2: I was hoping it was a documentary. When I saw
20:14
Speaker 2: it was like a scripted film.
20:15
Speaker 3: I was like, that's why I had to watch it,
20:18
Speaker 3: knowing it was a scripted film.
20:21
Speaker 2: It was funny, it is.
20:22
Speaker 3: There are parts of it that are are very funny.
20:25
Speaker 3: Not in the they didn't intend it to be funny, Yeah,
20:28
Speaker 3: but very funny. It again, it tells the story of
20:33
Speaker 3: Mark Taylor. It opens with the famous house fire. Yeah,
20:38
Speaker 3: and my favorite thing about this house fire scene in
20:41
Speaker 3: the movie. He runs in and for one thing, the
20:44
Speaker 3: kid is standing up but is apparently also dead.
20:47
Speaker 2: Oh, I only I must have zoned out. He was
20:50
Speaker 2: like I saw him when he was carrying the kid out.
20:52
Speaker 3: He runs in the room and finds him and the
20:54
Speaker 3: kids standing but like the back of his neck is
20:57
Speaker 3: burnt a little bit, and he carries this kid out
21:02
Speaker 3: into this menagerie of fellow firefighters and no one even
21:07
Speaker 3: tries to revive the kid.
21:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. There was a lot of logic holes
21:13
Speaker 2: in logic.
21:14
Speaker 4: Yeah, throughout.
21:14
Speaker 2: I mean you can just you can tell it's not
21:17
Speaker 2: you know, like they were there wasn't a priority.
21:19
Speaker 3: No, No, the priority was the message. They weren't expecting
21:23
Speaker 3: us to watch this. There's like, like the funniest part
21:28
Speaker 3: about that scene is they he walks out the kid
21:31
Speaker 3: is clearly dead because no one's even going to check
21:33
Speaker 3: or give.
21:34
Speaker 4: Him mouth to mouth or anything.
21:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, and all the firefighters around him like get sad
21:39
Speaker 3: and shake their heads and start heading back to the fire.
21:43
Speaker 4: Truck to leave. The house is still on fire.
21:46
Speaker 1: That's right, they just leave either because the kid died
21:50
Speaker 1: in the house it's still burning. Who directed this the
21:54
Speaker 1: students of Liberty University, I'm guessing, but also Liberty University.
21:58
Speaker 1: It's such a big institute, especially among Christian types.
22:02
Speaker 2: Where is it?
22:03
Speaker 3: I don't I didn't look that up where. It's got
22:07
Speaker 3: to be Florida, right.
22:08
Speaker 2: I mean, I haven't heard I feel like i'd have
22:10
Speaker 2: heard of it. It was in Florida University. It is uh, Virginia.
22:16
Speaker 5: It sounds about right Lynchburg. No, that really sounds about
22:21
Speaker 5: l y n h Burg. H Wow, how'd that town
22:25
Speaker 5: get that name?
22:26
Speaker 2: Yeah?
22:27
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, Liberty University it's a it's a pretty well
22:31
Speaker 3: respected institution, at least among uh.
22:34
Speaker 2: That there were there were some people there who were like, no,
22:38
Speaker 2: maybe this is not the best look.
22:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's yeah, so it's yeah.
22:43
Speaker 2: They ended up might be more in touch with the pulse.
22:46
Speaker 3: They ended up getting something like twenty five hundred signatures
22:49
Speaker 3: on that petition to like ban this movie or whatever
22:53
Speaker 3: they wanted to do.
22:54
Speaker 2: So why did Liberty just go ahead? Like, why was
22:56
Speaker 2: this so important to them?
22:58
Speaker 3: I think it's important to them because it the message
23:03
Speaker 3: this movie is sending is very much don't question what's
23:08
Speaker 3: happening with Donald Trump.
23:10
Speaker 2: That's very dangerous.
23:11
Speaker 3: It's God's plan, and your job is to pray for
23:16
Speaker 3: a powerful authority figure to guide America through these troubled times.
23:21
Speaker 2: It's God's plan as told to us by a firefighter
23:25
Speaker 2: who suffers from PTSD and correct and hallucinations.
23:30
Speaker 3: But they did all that praying and Trump won. So
23:33
Speaker 3: obviously this is God's plan and that's what That's what
23:36
Speaker 3: really bothers me about this, and it's why I want
23:38
Speaker 3: to do the episode because it is a little more
23:40
Speaker 3: dangerous than it seems.
23:42
Speaker 2: I think a big person who's responsible for this is
23:45
Speaker 2: Mary Colbert, so almost a puppet, and she's you know,
23:49
Speaker 2: I wonder how invest I mean, she's co authored the
23:53
Speaker 2: book they were like released.
23:56
Speaker 3: Right right, and Don Colbert is also he's been featured
24:01
Speaker 3: regularly on all of these televangelist shows and shit, like
24:06
Speaker 3: he's a fixture on that scene also, and they like
24:09
Speaker 3: it does seem like there was a little bit of
24:11
Speaker 3: opportunism where he sees this book and he's like let's
24:14
Speaker 3: do something with this. Let's pretend it's really the voice.
24:17
Speaker 2: Of God or maybe he believes it.
24:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, that could be. That's as depicted in the film.
24:22
Speaker 3: That's what happens. They like clearly believe this is God
24:25
Speaker 3: saying Trump is gonna be president and we need to
24:28
Speaker 3: put all of our energy behind it. And they like
24:31
Speaker 3: where it starts to feel like propaganda.
24:33
Speaker 2: Is lucky for Trump to have people just that into
24:36
Speaker 2: his winning.
24:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like it's yeah, lucky's one word for I
24:41
Speaker 3: hope it's just luck. Like there's always the possibility that
24:45
Speaker 3: someone behind his campaign wanted this sort of outcome because
24:50
Speaker 3: it's not like.
24:51
Speaker 2: Well, it's just like how it's so odd how it unfolded.
24:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's and then.
24:56
Speaker 2: It took off and this is a movement. How mainstream
24:59
Speaker 2: is this movement on mainstream?
25:00
Speaker 4: Right?
25:00
Speaker 2: It's still like a I.
25:02
Speaker 4: Mean everyone like that's the thing. Liberty University is a
25:06
Speaker 4: pretty mainstream.
25:07
Speaker 2: That's pretty scary, so is in this It does a
25:12
Speaker 2: large portion of the population consider Mark Taylor a profit.
25:16
Speaker 3: Well, again, he's got forty three thousand subscribers to his
25:20
Speaker 3: YouTube channel and he does videos like daily, so you
25:24
Speaker 3: have to like that doesn't necessarily mean forty three thousand people,
25:28
Speaker 3: but that also doesn't necessarily mean it's less like that
25:31
Speaker 3: could be some of those could be household accounts where
25:34
Speaker 3: several people watching those videos from the same account all
25:39
Speaker 3: believe the same thing, like it's not it's it's probably
25:43
Speaker 3: represents the most rabid part of Trump's base, but they're
25:48
Speaker 3: also kind of the most dangerous part of Trump's base.
25:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there's no there's no reasoning or reaching
25:56
Speaker 2: a middle ground or like you know, leveling right who
26:00
Speaker 2: if they don't have a willingness to do that, Like
26:03
Speaker 2: if it's just this and this.
26:04
Speaker 3: Is it, and there's a I mentioned this book all
26:08
Speaker 3: the time. I don't know how much I've mentioned it
26:11
Speaker 3: on this show, though. There's a book. You can find
26:15
Speaker 3: it online. You can read it online for free. It's
26:17
Speaker 3: called The Authoritarians. It's by a guy named Bob Altemeyer
26:20
Speaker 3: who was a or he's still alive, but he's retired now.
26:25
Speaker 3: But he was a professor at the University of Manitoba
26:27
Speaker 3: and he for like fifteen years gave every incoming freshman
26:32
Speaker 3: this survey that was meant to determine how prone the
26:38
Speaker 3: population in general is to seeking out an authoritarian leader,
26:43
Speaker 3: like someone like Trump. But he wrote this way before
26:45
Speaker 3: Trump ran for office, Like he did all this research
26:49
Speaker 3: in the seventies and eighties, and then someone was writing
26:53
Speaker 3: a book about George Bush and came across this guy's
26:56
Speaker 3: work and was like, oh, you need to make this
26:59
Speaker 3: a book.
27:00
Speaker 4: And he wrote.
27:01
Speaker 3: He wrote it and put it out, but it hasn't
27:03
Speaker 3: gotten a ton of attention.
27:05
Speaker 4: You didn't have Mary Colbert exactly.
27:08
Speaker 3: And the book it describes the kind of people who
27:12
Speaker 3: seek an authoritarian leader, which is what Trump is.
27:16
Speaker 2: And I think that is I think, you know, people
27:19
Speaker 2: in sort of people who seek authoritarian leadership and are
27:24
Speaker 2: very sort of into dogma. I think are people who
27:28
Speaker 2: really feel a need for that anchoring to feel sisty,
27:31
Speaker 2: you know. And it's just like if they can sort
27:33
Speaker 2: of adopt a belief system and it resonates with them somehow,
27:40
Speaker 2: then they're you know, that's their coping, that's their coping
27:43
Speaker 2: mechanism and it or that's a coping mechanism, right.
27:47
Speaker 3: And and what you end up finding in those people
27:51
Speaker 3: is they their line of thinking tends to be like
27:57
Speaker 3: an ends justify the means kind of thing, where well,
28:00
Speaker 3: that's the guy we want to be our authority figure,
28:04
Speaker 3: and whatever he's doing ends with him still being our
28:08
Speaker 3: authority figure. So it's fine, he can do anything he wants.
28:12
Speaker 2: It's just like they just want to be right.
28:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, they want to be right, and they want they
28:18
Speaker 3: want to feel like their guy is in charge and
28:22
Speaker 3: that he's going to bring some semblance of law and
28:26
Speaker 3: order to the country.
28:28
Speaker 2: And that's again coming from a place of insecurity and fear.
28:32
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, it's just like walking around being scared.
28:35
Speaker 2: The dogmatic God is a fear based god, I think,
28:38
Speaker 2: oh yeah.
28:39
Speaker 4: For sure.
28:39
Speaker 3: And it like what this movie does is those the
28:44
Speaker 3: people who are like most fervently following Trump right now,
28:48
Speaker 3: they already have that streak where they want to believe
28:52
Speaker 3: that everything he does is right because it ends with
28:56
Speaker 3: him being president. But a movie like this just selit
29:00
Speaker 3: defies it so much because it brings God into it.
29:03
Speaker 3: And now it's not just well, our leader, that's who
29:06
Speaker 3: we wanted for a leader. Now it's oh, well, it's
29:09
Speaker 3: not like God wanted our leader. Like that's who we wanted,
29:12
Speaker 3: and then God wants him too, So nothing anyone can
29:16
Speaker 3: say is ever gonna change our mind. And that's why
29:19
Speaker 3: I think this movie was made. I think it's it's
29:22
Speaker 3: meant to kind of quietly solidify Trump's evangelical base, but
29:29
Speaker 3: in a way that like people on the left are
29:31
Speaker 3: gonna look at this and go silly bullshit. Ye like,
29:34
Speaker 3: who fucking cares about this? But when you dig into
29:37
Speaker 3: Mark Taylor and what he's up to today, he's not
29:40
Speaker 3: just pushing Trump is great. He's pushing QAnon stuff, like
29:44
Speaker 3: he's getting deep into like like the violent conspiracy theories. It's, uh,
29:50
Speaker 3: it's not nothing, and it's it's it's not funny. It
29:54
Speaker 3: just looks funny.
29:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I mean, I think there was another prophecy
29:59
Speaker 2: related to our relations with Israel. Yes, that was I
30:03
Speaker 2: think a major thing that kept coming up when I
30:05
Speaker 2: looked at some of the other prophecies.
30:07
Speaker 4: What we should we should listen to.
30:09
Speaker 3: This is the actual Commander in Chief prophecy as read
30:13
Speaker 3: by Mark Taylor, and it also brings up it's the
30:16
Speaker 3: same one that brings up Israel.
30:18
Speaker 2: Yeah. You look at the pictures and all these guys
30:20
Speaker 2: have mustaches.
30:22
Speaker 4: Yeah, this guy, I mean, he looks perfectly normal, I suppose.
30:26
Speaker 4: But here we go.
30:27
Speaker 7: Spirit of God says I've shown this an Donald Trump
30:29
Speaker 7: for such a time as this for us, Benjamin and
30:32
Speaker 7: Yahoo is to Israel. So shall this man be the
30:34
Speaker 7: United States of America. For I will use this man
30:36
Speaker 7: to bring honor, respect, and restoration to America. America will
30:40
Speaker 7: be respected once again as the most powerful, prosperous nation
30:42
Speaker 7: on earth other than Israel. The dollar will be the
30:44
Speaker 7: strongest that has ever been in the history of the
30:46
Speaker 7: United States, and will once again be the currency by
30:48
Speaker 7: which all others are judged. The Spirit of God says,
30:51
Speaker 7: the enemy will quake and shake and fear this man
30:53
Speaker 7: I have anointed. They will even quake and shake when
30:55
Speaker 7: he announces he is running for president. It will be
30:58
Speaker 7: like the shot heard across the world. Will say, what
31:00
Speaker 7: shall we do now? This man knows all our tricks
31:03
Speaker 7: and schemes. We have been robbing America for decades. What
31:06
Speaker 7: shall we do to stop this? The Spirit says, ha,
31:08
Speaker 7: No one shall stop this that I have started. For
31:10
Speaker 7: the enemy has stolen from America for decades, and it
31:13
Speaker 7: stops now. For I will use this man to reap
31:15
Speaker 7: the harvest that the United States has sown for and
31:17
Speaker 7: plunder from the enemy what he has stolen and return
31:20
Speaker 7: it sevenfold back to the United States. The enemy will say, Israel, Israel,
31:24
Speaker 7: What about Israel? For Israel will be protected by America
31:27
Speaker 7: once again. The Spirit says, Yes, America will once again
31:29
Speaker 7: stand hand in hand with Israel, and the two shall
31:31
Speaker 7: be as one. For the ties between Israel and America
31:34
Speaker 7: will be stronger than ever, and Israel will flourished like
31:36
Speaker 7: never before. The Spirit of God says, I will protect
31:39
Speaker 7: America and Israel. For this next president will be a
31:41
Speaker 7: man of his word. When he speaks, the world will
31:43
Speaker 7: listen and know that there is something greater in him
31:46
Speaker 7: than all the others before him. This man's word is
31:48
Speaker 7: his bond, and the world in America will know this,
31:50
Speaker 7: and the enemy will fear this. For this man will
31:53
Speaker 7: be fear less, the Spirit says. When the financial harvest begins,
31:56
Speaker 7: socialist parallel and the spiritual for America, the Spirit of
31:59
Speaker 7: God says, in this next election, they will spend billions
32:01
Speaker 7: to keep this president in. It will be like flushing
32:03
Speaker 7: their money down the toilet. Let them waste their money
32:05
Speaker 7: before it comes from evil forces at work. But they
32:08
Speaker 7: will not succeed, for this next election will be a
32:11
Speaker 7: clean sweep for the man I have chosen. They will
32:13
Speaker 7: say things about this man the enemy, but it will
32:15
Speaker 7: not affect him. They will say, it shall roll off
32:17
Speaker 7: of him like the duck. For as the feathers of
32:19
Speaker 7: a duck protect it, so shall my feathers protect this
32:21
Speaker 7: next president. Even mainstream mediativated by this man and the
32:25
Speaker 7: abilities that I have gifted him with bond.
32:28
Speaker 2: The spirit of God spirits said, where it is bond.
32:31
Speaker 2: And then also it's like, you know, the whole plunder
32:34
Speaker 2: from our enemies, that's not very turn they you know,
32:36
Speaker 2: turn the other cheek.
32:38
Speaker 4: Yeah. And who's he talking about?
32:40
Speaker 2: And are they Christian? Yeah, because there's no mention of
32:44
Speaker 2: like their main dude.
32:46
Speaker 3: No, No, Well that's because this is God talking to
32:49
Speaker 3: him about how great Trump is. Like that if you
32:52
Speaker 3: watch that, like the picture that he looks like he's
32:54
Speaker 3: fucking Cia in that video.
32:56
Speaker 4: He's got the mustache, he's got the suit like.
32:58
Speaker 2: The dudes have stash.
33:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like something's up like this This feels like, I mean,
33:06
Speaker 3: not necessarily a government plot, but someone wants to really
33:12
Speaker 3: reinforce the idea that Trump is God's president.
33:15
Speaker 2: If this exists, then the government can use it.
33:19
Speaker 4: That's true.
33:20
Speaker 3: Like it's always something that can be exploited. And the
33:25
Speaker 3: thing is, like this movie, it it's a shitty movie
33:29
Speaker 3: that I would not recommend people watch, but it's six
33:33
Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars at the box office. It was promoted,
33:38
Speaker 3: but like it was only shown on two days also
33:41
Speaker 3: I think October second, October fourth, twenty eighteen for some reason,
33:46
Speaker 3: several theaters, right something, but yeah, something like it was
33:50
Speaker 3: through Fathom Events, which if you're ever at a movie
33:53
Speaker 3: during the trailers at the beginning, they'll be like, fucking
33:56
Speaker 3: rob Zombie in concert one night, only watch it in theater.
34:00
Speaker 4: Like that's Fathom Events.
34:01
Speaker 2: Six hundred thousand in two days.
34:03
Speaker 3: Two days, and it was in something like more than
34:07
Speaker 3: a thousand theaters, and it was promoted by all of
34:11
Speaker 3: the different televangelists of the world.
34:14
Speaker 4: Like that's a.
34:15
Speaker 2: See these networks they have such huge following. So yeah,
34:19
Speaker 2: it's like in terms of marketing, you know, they they
34:22
Speaker 2: had a lot of resources.
34:24
Speaker 3: And they exist in this bubble that most people don't
34:29
Speaker 3: ever penetrate or look into or even acknowledge at all.
34:33
Speaker 4: So they get to.
34:34
Speaker 3: Tell these motherfuckers whenever they want, and they've spent the past.
34:40
Speaker 2: Because these are coming from individuals. These are humans. These
34:42
Speaker 2: are coming through the Even if if this dude was
34:45
Speaker 2: talking to like spirit, the ultimate Spirit, it's just like
34:49
Speaker 2: you're still still getting filtered through a dude.
34:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't know the you don't know the Spirit
34:54
Speaker 3: isn't up there going Hey, I didn't say that.
34:57
Speaker 4: You take it easy.
34:58
Speaker 2: You want to spirit only talk to one dude?
35:00
Speaker 4: Yeah?
35:01
Speaker 3: Why this guy who also happened to have PTSD, one
35:04
Speaker 3: of the symptoms sometimes being hearing voices.
35:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, and how come everyone who follows this is white?
35:10
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, as depicted in the movie, he had
35:14
Speaker 3: a couple black friends, so.
35:18
Speaker 2: That was casting.
35:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like his best firefighter friend was a Latino guy.
35:24
Speaker 3: And like they they really went out of their way
35:27
Speaker 3: to make it seem like, hey, this is an inclusive,
35:30
Speaker 3: inclusive movement, when it's really not. One of the one
35:34
Speaker 3: of the things that was brought up after this came
35:37
Speaker 3: out is a lot of their.
35:40
Speaker 4: A lot of the.
35:41
Speaker 3: Ideas that are being pushed, especially in the movie, are
35:46
Speaker 3: based on the ideas of a group called the New
35:50
Speaker 3: Apostolic Reformation, and they are a group that believes the
35:54
Speaker 3: entire world must become Christian for the Second Coming to happen.
35:59
Speaker 4: Oh, that's the exact thing.
36:02
Speaker 3: People on the right have been accusing Muslims of forever,
36:06
Speaker 3: at least since nine to eleven that oh, well, what
36:08
Speaker 3: they want is to make the entire world. They want
36:13
Speaker 3: Islam to be the only religion in the world.
36:15
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure, I'm sure all of them do.
36:16
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, that's the whole thing. Like, so do you.
36:20
Speaker 2: Right there?
36:21
Speaker 4: You know?
36:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that that's another reason why it's really hard
36:25
Speaker 3: to get behind organized religions, Yeah, because of shit.
36:28
Speaker 2: Like that doesn't sit well with me.
36:31
Speaker 3: Right, and like what they're proposing, like people aren't just
36:35
Speaker 3: gonna become Christian because you ask, like, I mean, yeah,
36:38
Speaker 3: oh yeah, it takes violence in reprogramming. And so it's
36:45
Speaker 3: like what's at the root of this is actually really
36:48
Speaker 3: scary and not great, but it's all wrapped in this silly,
36:52
Speaker 3: fucking movie that's on Amazon that looks stupid. And then
36:55
Speaker 3: at the end, uh, you're lucky you fell asleep, because
36:59
Speaker 3: the last twenty minute is just uh, it's not even
37:02
Speaker 3: movie anymore. It's like all these evangelicals like chastising people
37:06
Speaker 3: about how they need to be praying for this authority
37:09
Speaker 3: figure that's in power now to stay in power and
37:12
Speaker 3: to guide America to our new prosperity. Like this is
37:17
Speaker 3: it's it's fucking programming like this. Yeah, this is absolutely propaganda,
37:22
Speaker 3: in dangerous propaganda.
37:25
Speaker 2: I mean, can you imagine if the movie was good?
37:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, that would be even worse.
37:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean what are these actors doing?
37:33
Speaker 7: Now?
37:34
Speaker 2: See some of them shot recently? Actually, yeah, are these
37:37
Speaker 2: Hollywood actors or student actors?
37:39
Speaker 3: Some of them looked like they were vaguely familiar, like
37:42
Speaker 3: as character actors in something.
37:45
Speaker 4: But the acting terrible.
37:48
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying is like character actors are generally good.
37:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good point.
37:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're I don't know, I didn't like they all
37:57
Speaker 3: had familiar faces, but it was probably that thing where
38:01
Speaker 3: they're like, let's get people who look like yeah people
38:04
Speaker 3: people already know. So these dummies will think it's like
38:06
Speaker 3: a big Hollywood production. Yeah, which two million dollars. That's
38:09
Speaker 3: not I mean, that's not a big not nothing. It's
38:11
Speaker 3: not big budget. But it's a budget. Yeah, it's a
38:15
Speaker 3: lot of fucking money. And yeah the right now, like
38:18
Speaker 3: this Mark Taylor guy now has flipped all of this
38:23
Speaker 3: into this like YouTube empire where he's on damn near
38:27
Speaker 3: every day spreading like QAnon theories and this shit about
38:33
Speaker 3: Trump being God's chosen candidate, and it it's fucking dangerous.
38:38
Speaker 3: Like it's again, there's no coming back from a belief
38:41
Speaker 3: like this, There's no rescuing someone when they think God
38:45
Speaker 3: wants that person to be our president.
38:48
Speaker 2: This is the type of shit that makes Handmaid's Tail
38:51
Speaker 2: very scary sometimes. Yeah, and just knowing that, like you
38:55
Speaker 2: know the and I think that's why the awareness is important.
38:57
Speaker 2: So wh're you know you don't want to be sucker
38:59
Speaker 2: punched by an underground army, yeah that you know wants
39:04
Speaker 2: to eliminate everything except Christianity.
39:06
Speaker 3: Well, it's like this again seems like a small, niche thing.
39:12
Speaker 3: But when you to draw another comparison to the flat
39:16
Speaker 3: Earth movement, like those both at their core want the
39:20
Speaker 3: same thing, which is a very strict interpretation of the
39:25
Speaker 3: Christian Bible, and that's the ultimate, Like that's the end
39:30
Speaker 3: point of the flat earth theory, even though it doesn't
39:33
Speaker 3: seem like it on the surface. It's again like another
39:36
Speaker 3: kind of so rigid, kind of funny thing that people
39:39
Speaker 3: on the left look at. And it's like Kyrie Irving
39:42
Speaker 3: believes the Earth is flat, and it's like that shit matters.
39:45
Speaker 4: And when you combine because.
39:46
Speaker 2: You're programming generations. Yeah, and when you know it's like
39:50
Speaker 2: the people born into this, it's I mean, that's tough.
39:53
Speaker 2: That's tough to get out of it. It's I mean,
39:56
Speaker 2: to me, that's it's mental illness.
39:59
Speaker 4: It absolutely is, and it's it's mental.
40:02
Speaker 3: It's they took this guy's mental illness and are basically
40:07
Speaker 3: spreading it. They're like forcing it on people as a law,
40:13
Speaker 3: like religious law, their law. Like it's again, the movie
40:17
Speaker 3: ends with them just chastising people about how they need
40:20
Speaker 3: to be praying for Trump, and it when you combine
40:24
Speaker 3: how many people are following this guy, which is right
40:27
Speaker 3: now forty three thousand on just on YouTube, and how
40:31
Speaker 3: many flat earthers there are, that's when like I'm sure
40:35
Speaker 3: those venn diagrams overlap, yeah, pretty fucking heavily. But they're
40:40
Speaker 3: also both gonna bring each other into the fold eventually
40:44
Speaker 3: because they're all they're both pushing toward a really strict
40:49
Speaker 3: Christian conservative world, not just United States, but world in general.
40:55
Speaker 3: And you're right to bring up Handmaid's Tale, like I
40:59
Speaker 3: say it about flat Earth all the time, like it's
41:01
Speaker 3: funny until you wake up one day and like flat
41:05
Speaker 3: earthers have stormed Congress and now they're the government, and
41:08
Speaker 3: it's like, oh shit, fifty percent of the military is
41:10
Speaker 3: flat earthers. We had no idea, and it's like now
41:13
Speaker 3: you know, and we're all fucked.
41:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I mean, I think that's why they're It's
41:17
Speaker 2: good to have an awareness. But the thing is, I'm
41:19
Speaker 2: sure the you know, the government already does, but it's
41:23
Speaker 2: just like, yeah, you know, like so you know, they
41:25
Speaker 2: become a and then it just becomes you know, the
41:27
Speaker 2: people in power. It's just like what's their motive? Right,
41:31
Speaker 2: because this is this is a big tool there. That's
41:33
Speaker 2: a lot of people.
41:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a whole lot of people, especially like they
41:37
Speaker 3: have a movie, they have a YouTube page, like there's
41:40
Speaker 3: a book out there. Like they're reaching a lot of
41:42
Speaker 3: people with this message. And unless you're doing something like
41:46
Speaker 3: we're doing right now, there's no reason for you to
41:50
Speaker 3: seek this out unless you already kind of believe.
41:52
Speaker 2: I've never heard of this prophecy. Yeah, for this movement,
41:55
Speaker 2: I like I have seen their people who are like, oh,
41:58
Speaker 2: it's God's will because you know, like for some reason,
42:02
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of you know, a lot of
42:04
Speaker 2: religious conservative support a guy who doesn't really seem to
42:08
Speaker 2: it just seems incongruent with with what they say their
42:11
Speaker 2: values and beliefs are right, This leader, this chosen leader,
42:16
Speaker 2: does not match. So that's what's confusing to.
42:19
Speaker 3: Me, and I think that's what's confusing to all those
42:23
Speaker 3: students who signed that petition about this movie also. But
42:27
Speaker 3: I think the people behind this movie get that. They
42:31
Speaker 3: get that Trump is very antithetical to what their values
42:35
Speaker 3: are supposed to be. And that's why a movie like
42:38
Speaker 3: this helps because once you know it's God's plan, none
42:41
Speaker 3: of that matters.
42:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is that's not cool.
42:45
Speaker 3: No, No, it's dangerous propaganda, is what it is.
42:49
Speaker 2: Cool Like, it's just like, you know, it's it just
42:53
Speaker 2: you can't question anything. You're like, this is just what
42:55
Speaker 2: it is and it doesn't matter how many people get.
42:58
Speaker 4: Hurt, right, And they were.
43:00
Speaker 3: They were able to get one hundred matter one hundred
43:02
Speaker 3: thousand people a day to carry out this one act
43:06
Speaker 3: on behalf of Trump.
43:08
Speaker 2: And that's a lot of people who went out and voted. Yeah,
43:11
Speaker 2: it's a lot of people who went out. If you're
43:13
Speaker 2: praying about it, you're definitely campaigning for him.
43:17
Speaker 3: And it's also one of the things they bring up
43:20
Speaker 3: in that Authoritarians book is that people who follow leaders
43:23
Speaker 3: like this are prone to violence, especially if they're directed
43:28
Speaker 3: to do it at the behest of that leader or
43:31
Speaker 3: for the benefit of that leader.
43:33
Speaker 2: So threat right, if you're you know, if you're driven
43:36
Speaker 2: to you know, it's if every if you're feeling so threatened,
43:40
Speaker 2: you know, you're you're fuse for violence is gonna be
43:42
Speaker 2: much shorter.
43:43
Speaker 3: Right, So what how do these people react when if
43:47
Speaker 3: if Trump is impeached, Like, it's gonna it's not gonna
43:50
Speaker 3: be a hard flip switch to flip to go Okay, well, instead.
43:54
Speaker 2: Of praying someone's gonna freak out, you're.
43:56
Speaker 4: Gonna have to take it to the streets.
43:58
Speaker 2: Now, they're gonna be an organized freak out.
44:00
Speaker 3: Right, And is it going to turn into like a
44:03
Speaker 3: war type situation, like a civil war type of thing,
44:07
Speaker 3: like there are like there's obviously at least one hundred
44:10
Speaker 3: thousand people who are kind of on board.
44:13
Speaker 2: With this, Like do you think they're heavily armed, Oh.
44:16
Speaker 3: I'm sure they're heavily armed. Like a lot of them
44:19
Speaker 3: are heavily armed.
44:20
Speaker 2: Now I'll be honest, I don't love going to like
44:23
Speaker 2: very crowded public places.
44:25
Speaker 3: No, No, I didn't before they were getting shot up,
44:29
Speaker 3: and now I especially don't.
44:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, same, same, I'm not like I don't love three
44:34
Speaker 2: you know, ton like I don't love crowds. But yeah,
44:36
Speaker 2: like that's just it just feels like such a target
44:38
Speaker 2: like Disney.
44:39
Speaker 5: Worlder Yeah, and especially being in La yeah, big city.
44:44
Speaker 3: Like this would be a place where someone some conservative
44:48
Speaker 3: fuckstick would want to send a message. Yeah I'm not
44:51
Speaker 3: trying to be part of that message.
44:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, well just leave me the fuck out of it, exactly.
44:56
Speaker 3: And yeah, that's the thing, like a lot of people
44:59
Speaker 3: who probably a lot of people who probably also didn't
45:05
Speaker 3: want to be part of this message are part of
45:07
Speaker 3: it now because they've seen this movie.
45:08
Speaker 2: Hey, I mean the spirit said word is bond.
45:10
Speaker 4: You know exactly. You know, Spearon had bars.
45:16
Speaker 2: Fire Man just spitting fire.
45:19
Speaker 4: Fucking hell fire. So did you get demon Man?
45:23
Speaker 2: The demon in the movie that like sweird cgi animated.
45:27
Speaker 4: Like first climbed across the ceiling.
45:29
Speaker 2: Looking like like Gollum on fire Like.
45:32
Speaker 3: It looked neat at first, but then when it was
45:34
Speaker 3: like there were scenes where it got up close.
45:36
Speaker 2: I watched it really late at night, and I was like,
45:38
Speaker 2: I can't take this.
45:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, it that's the thing, the way the movie lays
45:45
Speaker 3: out this story, it's just so clearly a story of
45:49
Speaker 3: ignored mental illness. Yeah, and they want it to seem
45:53
Speaker 3: like prophecy.
45:55
Speaker 2: And yeah, I mean, I'm very curious how the Colberts
45:58
Speaker 2: are living nowadays.
45:59
Speaker 4: I'm sure they're doing fine.
46:01
Speaker 3: Like, especially if you're the woman behind the campaign that
46:04
Speaker 3: all these evangelicals think got Trump elected.
46:07
Speaker 2: Can you imagine just the couple sort of planning this.
46:12
Speaker 2: They're like, look, I have this dude, he has all
46:14
Speaker 2: these messages. You know, he's let's let's use him. He'll
46:19
Speaker 2: be easy to manipulate.
46:21
Speaker 4: Yeah, seems like such a grift.
46:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it does. It feels like that has to
46:26
Speaker 3: be kind of what happened. And it's either that or
46:30
Speaker 3: maybe they're all crazy. Maybe Mary Colbert's and fucking whack
46:34
Speaker 3: a doo also, but I don't.
46:36
Speaker 2: Think so, I could do fock stick.
46:39
Speaker 3: I feel like she like, I feel like she and
46:42
Speaker 3: her doctor husband saw an opportunity here, especially with like
46:47
Speaker 3: she's into real estate too and shit like that, Like
46:50
Speaker 3: of course she.
46:50
Speaker 4: Wants Trump to win.
46:51
Speaker 2: Well, yeah.
46:52
Speaker 3: Like, and if you're if you're a well in the family, yeah,
46:56
Speaker 3: and if you're like a ministry networker, like you already
46:59
Speaker 3: know so many people who want Trump to win, and
47:01
Speaker 3: this is just like.
47:02
Speaker 2: A worldwide networker you have money, right, Oh.
47:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely.
47:06
Speaker 3: And it's not like this is the kind of thing
47:09
Speaker 3: you're gonna take to the media. You're not like gonna
47:11
Speaker 3: hit up CNN and be like, hey, God told this
47:14
Speaker 3: guy that Trump is gonna win the election. No, you're
47:16
Speaker 3: just gonna take it to the people you know who
47:18
Speaker 3: will believe it. Yeah, the people who have been following
47:21
Speaker 3: all the crazy shit you say up to this point.
47:23
Speaker 4: So why wouldn't they believe Trump's gonna win?
47:25
Speaker 2: It already sounded like she had a huge community.
47:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeahs as a networker, and and yeah, it just
47:31
Speaker 3: it seems really uh, this seems like something more than Mark.
47:35
Speaker 2: Taylor made it.
47:36
Speaker 4: Man, he did, he made it.
47:38
Speaker 3: He won the lottery, He won the fucking mental illness loty.
47:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, can you believe it?
47:43
Speaker 3: Someone said, yes, sir, you are sick. Let's make a
47:46
Speaker 3: YouTube star out of you.
47:48
Speaker 2: Oh he's a like that's wild, and it like he
47:51
Speaker 2: doesn't someone gonna hear this podcast in LA and they're
47:55
Speaker 2: gonna get an idea of how to make it in
47:57
Speaker 2: this industry.
47:58
Speaker 4: Maybe we need to figure out Yeah, like we.
48:01
Speaker 2: Maybe I need to use my mental illness.
48:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, we just need to be the left version of this.
48:06
Speaker 2: You know, just why fight it?
48:08
Speaker 4: Yeah?
48:08
Speaker 3: Hey, what if we tell people it's God's plan that
48:12
Speaker 3: Trump isn't president? Yeah, you know what, see if we can,
48:16
Speaker 3: we'll make a movie.
48:17
Speaker 2: If people want to hear God filtered through me? I
48:20
Speaker 2: am I am for it. Oh yeah, here for it.
48:24
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean I'm ready to be a cult leader.
48:26
Speaker 2: I'll say you're filtered through me. I'm gonna be very
48:28
Speaker 2: there's gonna be full transparency. I'll be like, you know, it's.
48:31
Speaker 4: Filtered through me.
48:31
Speaker 2: So if you don't, if you need to find someone
48:33
Speaker 2: else that resonates more.
48:35
Speaker 4: Me and God don't always agree. Sometimes that changes words
48:39
Speaker 4: a little bit.
48:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
48:40
Speaker 3: You know, I'm gonna have to deal with it. He's
48:42
Speaker 3: only talking to me. That would be fun, That would
48:46
Speaker 3: be a fun position to be. And I don't like
48:48
Speaker 3: I get it. Like if if you go to people
48:52
Speaker 3: and say God's talking to me and they're like, we
48:54
Speaker 3: believe you, that's got it. That's got to be really powerful.
48:56
Speaker 2: And if you got that many people who believe you,
48:58
Speaker 2: it's just going to be get more followers, right, and
49:01
Speaker 2: people drink kool aid.
49:02
Speaker 3: And that's if you go out to his YouTube page,
49:04
Speaker 3: you'll see that that's what's happening. He's got tens of
49:07
Speaker 3: thousands of followers, so many videos, and he's like any
49:12
Speaker 3: other QAnon guy. He'll be like, Oh, this thing's happened
49:15
Speaker 3: in Monday, and then it doesn't happen and you're like,
49:17
Speaker 3: what the fuck, dude, are you just crazy?
49:19
Speaker 4: He's like nah, but he is.
49:21
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, there there were a couple of things.
49:23
Speaker 2: I wish I remembered all of the prophecies. I mean,
49:25
Speaker 2: for some reason, this is the one that is. I mean,
49:28
Speaker 2: I think Trump is such a buzzword that this is probably,
49:33
Speaker 2: like again, a marketing thing. Yeah, and they wanted him
49:36
Speaker 2: to win. I think that was probably the most important thing,
49:38
Speaker 2: the most the biggest thing at stake. Yeah, and them
49:42
Speaker 2: for whatever reason.
49:42
Speaker 3: And when you have a doctor who's like, oh, yeah,
49:46
Speaker 3: this isn't mental illness, this is.
49:47
Speaker 2: It validates yeah the guy.
49:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's just it's just a really insidious example
49:54
Speaker 3: of how that side works and especially as it pertains
50:00
Speaker 3: to like the most over zealous segments of Trump's base,
50:05
Speaker 3: Like they know how malleable those people are, and they
50:08
Speaker 3: really fucking take advantage of it, and it's probably gonna
50:11
Speaker 3: be to the detriment of us all someday.
50:14
Speaker 2: I mean, I like to try to remain optimistic, but yeah, gross,
50:18
Speaker 2: probably right.
50:20
Speaker 4: What's your problem be an optimistic?
50:22
Speaker 2: It's my it's my way of coping.
50:24
Speaker 4: Oh okay, well, I guess that's it's just sort.
50:26
Speaker 2: Of my nature. It's my wiring.
50:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, but I get it.
50:31
Speaker 2: I understand. I understand why you would take my.
50:33
Speaker 4: Wiring for now, give it till twenty twenty.
50:35
Speaker 2: Yeah seriously.
50:36
Speaker 3: Uh so, Yeah, I wouldn't say I recommend that people
50:40
Speaker 3: go watch this movie, but be aware that it exists
50:44
Speaker 3: and be aware that this is happening. And if you
50:47
Speaker 3: have a really uh die hard Trump supporter in your life,
50:52
Speaker 3: ask them if they've seen this movie.
50:53
Speaker 2: Oh, that'd be very interesting to see, like how mainstream
50:57
Speaker 2: this is in those communities.
50:59
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a good indicator of how far gone
51:02
Speaker 3: they are.
51:02
Speaker 4: For one thing.
51:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, ask him if they've seen it, and if they
51:06
Speaker 3: either refuse to talk to you, about it or talk
51:10
Speaker 3: about it very enthusiastically, be worried, or.
51:13
Speaker 2: See if they talk about it like a movie critic,
51:15
Speaker 2: and if they say.
51:15
Speaker 3: It's right, then I actually didn't like the character. The
51:20
Speaker 3: guy that played Don Colbert. He doesn't actually look like
51:23
Speaker 3: that in real life.
51:24
Speaker 4: It's like, that's not what I'm asking.
51:26
Speaker 2: That's a casting issue.
51:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, just as you ask your Trump support and relatives
51:32
Speaker 3: if they have seen this movie and if they believe it,
51:35
Speaker 3: and if they if they don't, hey fuck it, watch.
51:38
Speaker 4: It with them. The Trump prophecy, it's on Amazon.
51:42
Speaker 2: Mark Taylor, the Firefighter Prophet.
51:45
Speaker 4: The fire fighter Prophet, and.
51:48
Speaker 2: He has a boatload of followers, big.
51:51
Speaker 3: Boat forty three thousand. You can check him out on YouTube.
51:55
Speaker 3: Don't if you're probably don't follow him. Don't follow him.
51:59
Speaker 4: But I'm just.
52:00
Speaker 2: Views also like you're adding views. But I mean, it's
52:03
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's it exists.
52:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the thing. I don't.
52:07
Speaker 3: I don't really bring this up to make fun of
52:10
Speaker 3: how bad the movie is, even though the movie's very bad.
52:13
Speaker 3: I do think this is a legitimately troubling thing that's
52:16
Speaker 3: kind of wrapped up in a bunch of goofiness. And
52:19
Speaker 3: silliness that people on the left, which I count myself
52:22
Speaker 3: as that, sometimes discount stuff like this and assume it
52:27
Speaker 3: doesn't matter because it's so foreign to how a lot
52:31
Speaker 3: of people on the left live and operate, Like there's
52:35
Speaker 3: I don't think there's anyone that would like that, there's
52:39
Speaker 3: nothing to this theory, Like this is a a full
52:43
Speaker 3: on faith based thing and.
52:45
Speaker 2: Full on yeah, completely, you're taking the word of two people.
52:49
Speaker 3: And that's such a foreign concept to a lot of people.
52:53
Speaker 2: Three people, if you're including the doctor's validation that this
52:56
Speaker 2: is the same person.
52:58
Speaker 3: And and that's so opposite of how a lot of
53:01
Speaker 3: people who oppose Trump operate. So something like this seems
53:06
Speaker 3: inconsequential and silly, but it's not.
53:09
Speaker 4: And it's the.
53:10
Speaker 3: Kind of stuff you sort of need to know about
53:13
Speaker 3: Trump supporters. And like, if it seems like you're hitting
53:17
Speaker 3: a brick wall trying to convince them they shouldn't be
53:20
Speaker 3: voting for Trump, it's because you are, and you're probably
53:23
Speaker 3: not doing yourself any favors, You're not doing them any favors. Like, unfortunately,
53:28
Speaker 3: part of understanding Trump supporters is understanding shit like this.
53:31
Speaker 3: Some of them just think this is God's plan and
53:34
Speaker 3: nothing you say is going to make that bad.
53:36
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it is understanding mental health and programming
53:42
Speaker 2: because it is like, yeah, if you don't, I mean
53:44
Speaker 2: a lot of people. I don't think the way to
53:46
Speaker 2: deal with that is by like, you know, you can't.
53:49
Speaker 2: You're not gonna get anywhere by clashing, right, I think
53:53
Speaker 2: probably the most effective way to reach people are like,
53:56
Speaker 2: and this is not efficient, but like one on one
53:58
Speaker 2: human to human, Hey, I'm a human and then they
54:01
Speaker 2: see you as a human. Then it's like, well, you know,
54:04
Speaker 2: if you like me, then how you know, how can
54:07
Speaker 2: you support things that hurt me?
54:10
Speaker 4: Right?
54:11
Speaker 2: So, but that's not an efficient way, you know, especially
54:13
Speaker 2: when people are you know, I think programming. Can you know,
54:17
Speaker 2: if you're having kids, you're having generations of people being raised,
54:22
Speaker 2: you know with these belief systems.
54:24
Speaker 4: That's the thing, Like these these are beliefs that are
54:27
Speaker 4: going to carry on.
54:28
Speaker 2: And you're giving them. These are the coping mechanisms, because
54:31
Speaker 2: that's a lot of what I think organized religion is
54:34
Speaker 2: used for personally, right, is for coping.
54:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, and this is like this I could see this
54:41
Speaker 4: being like.
54:42
Speaker 2: Other people use drugs like this.
54:44
Speaker 3: This movie is that pill you give someone when they're like,
54:47
Speaker 3: everyone's telling me bad things about Trump, and you're telling
54:50
Speaker 3: me we should be voting for him because God said so, Like,
54:52
Speaker 3: where is that even coming from?
54:53
Speaker 4: They're like, watch this film, it's very powerful.
54:56
Speaker 2: But the film is not powerful.
54:58
Speaker 4: The film is terrible.
55:00
Speaker 2: To be good, I want to do some entertainment.
55:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, it would have at least been like if it
55:04
Speaker 3: was like legitimately scary or funny or.
55:07
Speaker 2: Something something, but it was. It was kind of dull.
55:09
Speaker 4: It was trying to be a Hallmark movie.
55:11
Speaker 2: Yes, ye, demons, I don't do Hallmark movies.
55:14
Speaker 4: No, no, uh.
55:16
Speaker 2: You're bland. It was bland.
55:18
Speaker 4: It was very bland. Yeah. Uh.
55:21
Speaker 3: And then the last thirty minutes it's just old white
55:23
Speaker 3: dudes griping at you bland, very bland, uh, being lectured.
55:29
Speaker 3: But it's been effective so far, unfortunately. And yeah, just
55:35
Speaker 3: I'm telling you this flat earth theory. Don't be surprised
55:38
Speaker 3: if we wake up one day and we're all flat
55:41
Speaker 3: earthers now because our government decided.
55:43
Speaker 2: Because we have to take the flat earth oath out loud,
55:46
Speaker 2: yes exactly.
55:48
Speaker 3: And if your phone doesn't hear you doing it, it
55:51
Speaker 3: will send someone here, just like your phone can hear
55:54
Speaker 3: you talking about dish racks. Yeah, and then you go
55:58
Speaker 3: on Instagram, Hey you need a dish rack? We got
56:01
Speaker 3: we click here.
56:02
Speaker 2: My favorite was red boots. Oh yeah, I need some
56:04
Speaker 2: red boots.
56:06
Speaker 4: Yeah.
56:06
Speaker 3: I think people underestimate that that could just be turned
56:08
Speaker 3: into like a surveillance thing, because I assume it is like,
56:12
Speaker 3: how big of a leap is it from Oh, well,
56:15
Speaker 3: your phone just heard you say something shitty about the government,
56:19
Speaker 3: So we're going to send someone out to talk and
56:22
Speaker 3: just make sure you're doing all right.
56:23
Speaker 4: It's not a big leap.
56:25
Speaker 3: Yeah.
56:25
Speaker 2: Well, I think to that it takes a certain level
56:27
Speaker 2: of power and celebrity. So here's hoping.
56:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, and.
56:33
Speaker 3: Like when you hear like crazy suggestions like that, it's
56:37
Speaker 3: because of movies like this that at least some portion
56:39
Speaker 3: of the population would be like, that's fine.
56:41
Speaker 2: What about the illuminati? Do we need to get to
56:43
Speaker 2: bring the do we need to join forces?
56:46
Speaker 3: I feel like we need to they need to be
56:48
Speaker 3: more public. Yeah, they should go rogue, Like they should
56:51
Speaker 3: take a heel turn and start opposing all the like
56:54
Speaker 3: systems of power in the United States and.
56:57
Speaker 2: Be like let them eliminate each other.
57:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, like those ancient fucking sky battles that are depicted
57:04
Speaker 3: in all these ancient textrina.
57:06
Speaker 2: Like why do we have to leave the rest of
57:08
Speaker 2: us out of this ship?
57:09
Speaker 4: Yeah?
57:09
Speaker 2: Please, I want to, you know, watch good movies and.
57:14
Speaker 3: Good movies like the Trump Prophecy. Oh my god, on
57:18
Speaker 3: Rotten Tomatoes.
57:19
Speaker 2: Can we see if it's on Rotten Tomatoes please? Oh yes,
57:22
Speaker 2: I want to see it's Tomatoes score, and if it's
57:24
Speaker 2: been reviewed as well. Trump Prophecy, Yeah, it was on
57:29
Speaker 2: Amazon when I pulled it up. Came out in twenty eighteen.
57:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's on Amazon Prime.
57:34
Speaker 2: The fact, namely, movie is a Trump prophecy, voice of hope,
57:37
Speaker 2: a movement of prayer, A voice of hope, a movement
57:41
Speaker 2: of prayer.
57:42
Speaker 3: Rotten Tomatoes doesn't even want to fucking open. Yeah, you know,
57:45
Speaker 3: tell me what the RT score is? No critics score? Yeah,
57:52
Speaker 3: so critics were not allowed to watch this movie. The
57:56
Speaker 3: audience only gave it thirty. That's actually a little more
57:59
Speaker 3: respectable then I thought it would be.
58:01
Speaker 2: Same thing.
58:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, this feels like this had This has better ratings
58:06
Speaker 3: than Movie forty three.
58:07
Speaker 4: Come on, movie forty three was great.
58:10
Speaker 2: I whatever, Like again, like one of the main photos
58:12
Speaker 2: is Trump. It's not even Trump's story.
58:15
Speaker 4: Yeah.
58:15
Speaker 3: It takes something like seventy six minutes for Trump's voice
58:20
Speaker 3: to be heard or his.
58:21
Speaker 4: Face to be seen in this movie.
58:23
Speaker 2: And I was long, like in r I was in
58:25
Speaker 2: my rems sit.
58:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, by that point, I was like, can you just
58:28
Speaker 3: show me Trump and get this fucking over with.
58:30
Speaker 4: I was like happy to see him.
58:33
Speaker 2: Oh, something's happening in this movie.
58:35
Speaker 4: So fuck this movie.
58:38
Speaker 3: If someone you know has seen this movie and likes it, uh,
58:42
Speaker 3: toss him in a van and get him to a
58:43
Speaker 3: cult de programmer because they are pretty far gone.
58:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe we should leave some numbers at the end
58:49
Speaker 2: of the episode for d programmers.
58:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, that means your Trump supporting relative is not the
58:55
Speaker 3: Oh it's just about trade deals type they think God
58:58
Speaker 3: wants Trump to be president.
58:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the red flags are there. If it's
59:01
Speaker 2: someone you really care about, you know, reach.
59:03
Speaker 5: Out and get them some help, yeah, or like you
59:06
Speaker 5: know something something, or just move abandon them.
59:10
Speaker 2: It's just the world's so complicated.
59:13
Speaker 3: It really is, and this isn't helping. But that was
59:17
Speaker 3: an episode, and it was a good episode.
59:18
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, you know what every this is. It's
59:21
Speaker 2: just another sort of story. The world's very interesting. It's
59:24
Speaker 2: like all this any if you can think of it,
59:27
Speaker 2: it's it can happen, and.
59:29
Speaker 3: It's probably happening. Yeah, somewhere like the Trump prophecies. Oh boy,
59:35

Speaker 4: It from spirit right from on high.

1:00:29
Speaker 2: about the airlines like he was talking about like Spirit Airlines,
1:00:32
Speaker 2: the PR or like the you know, like that he
1:00:34
Speaker 2: was getting all their information from. You know what I
1:00:37
Speaker 2: thought First Airline, what I thought would have been really
1:00:41
Speaker 2: funny in this movie. There's a scene where they're watching
1:00:45
Speaker 2: election night and then they both go to bed because
1:00:47
Speaker 2: they think Trump's gonna lose and they're all sad. And
1:00:50
Speaker 2: then the wife wakes up the next morning and sees
1:00:54
Speaker 2: that Trump won and runs in the bedroom to tell
1:00:57
Speaker 2: Mark Taylor, and I just thought it would be funny
1:00:59
Speaker 2: if he was like hanging all freddy, she has like
1:01:02
Speaker 2: cut him down.
1:01:03
Speaker 4: We won great, great great, or she.
1:01:08
Speaker 2: Was actually the one that hung him up.
1:01:10

1:01:15
Speaker 4: Fuck you.
1:01:16
