Summary
Donald Trump is running for president in the Democratic primary in 2020, and he's got a good chance to win it if he stays on the right side of the polls. But is it possible that he's actually running for President because of his cult-like cultism around Donald Trump?

00:00:00.000
Not because Donald Trump has moved towards their version of Christianity.
00:00:03.700
Rather, American Christianity, evangelical Christianity, has moved towards Donald Trump as an increasingly authoritarian personality cult around the ex-president.
00:00:14.580
Writing in The New York Times, Michael Bender says, quote,
00:00:16.800
Even more than in his past campaigns, he is framing his 2024 bid as a fight for Christianity.
00:00:22.580
One history professor at a Pennsylvania Evangelical University told Bender,
00:00:27.060
the apparent effectiveness of such tactics has made Trump the nation's first major politician to successfully separate character from policy for religious voters.
00:00:35.940
But now Trump is using his own brand of positive thinking and prosperity gospel to dupe his self-proclaimed Christian supporters
00:00:42.320
into believing that he is the second coming of Jesus himself, his own brand of the power of MAGA thinking,
00:00:49.420
fusing his own perverse messianic message into his rallies,
00:00:53.220
which, alongside the passion of the MAGA faithful, gives them a church of the cult of Trump air,
00:00:59.400
including the rituals that would seem familiar to Christian believers,
00:01:03.260
hands raised in the air as a sign of surrender and reverence to God.
00:01:08.200
Except that Trump rallies its reverence to Trump with a one-finger salute,
00:01:12.980
a hallmark of QAnon followers, and a nod to that movement's slogan.
00:01:17.460
Even though they were told to stop, you still see them from time to time.
00:01:23.000
He's also taken to ending his speeches with a sermon of sorts,
00:01:26.680
proclaiming that they are one movement and one family under God.
00:01:31.260
But now that he's running for president so that he can stay out of prison,
00:01:34.860
he's really ratcheted up the church-like energy at his rallies.
00:01:38.560
As the New York Times notes, even more than in his past campaigns,
00:01:42.080
he is framing his 2024 bid as a fight for Christianity,
00:01:46.820
telling a convention of Christian broadcasters that,
00:01:49.860
just like in the battles of the past, we still need the hand of our Lord.
00:01:58.100
Trump has shared a courtroom-style sketch of himself sitting next to Jesus
00:02:08.660
And the reality is that his venomous snake oil is working.
00:02:13.980
As Trump has either directly or indirectly compared himself to Jesus,
00:02:17.980
his followers have continued their descent into cult-like madness,
00:02:32.180
well, everybody's done this, everybody's done that,
00:02:40.240
And yet, again, growing up in the Baptist Church,
00:02:44.780
what we learned, and it's great, again, in this time after Easter,
00:03:05.560
And, you know, you see the bumper sticker across the South,
00:03:12.340
That is the central core belief of evangelical Christianity.
00:03:33.100
After, you know, you go through 20 verses of just as I am.
00:03:44.300
in a way that no evangelical I ever grew up with
00:04:06.080
I still, again, growing up in the Baptist Church,
00:04:19.100
to what Jeffrey's Atlantic article talks about.
00:04:44.720
that even if Trump doesn't specifically say this,
00:04:56.440
And, and, and it's important to understand this
00:05:03.000
who is the subject of dozens of criminal charges
00:05:07.100
and why, and, and someone who has led his party
00:05:39.480
if they're going to have any chance of winning.
00:39:37.000
So a conspiracy to injure, intimidate, threaten, or
00:39:55.520
are, they're creating the memes, all this stuff.
00:40:47.200
If Kafka could somehow be resurrected, he would
00:40:50.100
use the adjective, this is Biden-esque, because
00:40:53.300
we far surpassed anything of the imagination of
00:41:03.920
believe people hear, oh, a guy got arrested for
00:41:07.300
Someone was charged and convicted of a felony for
00:41:17.480
But yeah, it's real, and they resurrected this.
00:41:22.040
As part of our campaign, I was brought in for one
00:41:25.100
I had never been in a campaign office in my life.
00:41:27.100
I ran for student buddy president one when I was
00:41:34.640
I was brought in for the last hundred days, and
00:41:35.900
the reason, as you remember, at Breitbart, with
00:41:49.100
Every day, every day in a campaign, we brought,
00:41:53.040
we brought the heavy artillery on Hillary Clinton
00:42:28.700
Which I wholeheartedly believe, and the American
00:42:54.160
would be hard pressed to find a single person who
00:42:57.860
was instrumental in Trump's victory, who hasn't
00:43:01.400
faced pretty serious legal retaliation by the Biden
00:43:07.260
So, I think that is one kind of contextual element
00:43:11.940
I think in terms of the legal import, it's obviously
00:43:15.740
important for the First Amendment, it's obviously
00:43:19.920
More specifically, this is the regime, the Biden DOJ,
00:43:25.140
really trying to codify the disinformation scam that
00:43:32.820
They're trying to codify the disinformation scam into the
00:43:37.600
I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to
00:43:48.880
First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government
00:43:53.400
This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans
00:43:56.120
by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement
00:44:01.640
Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter
00:44:04.980
Strategic Intelligence and New York Times bestselling author
00:44:08.400
is warning about a coming event that could elevate this
00:44:11.920
governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.
00:44:14.940
In fact, some of the guests I've had on The War Room believe
00:44:17.860
that the government will soon expand their powers to track
00:44:22.420
If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the
00:44:25.920
wrong causes, buy firearms, or even vote MAGA, the government
00:44:29.940
may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.
00:44:32.700
I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting
00:44:38.900
Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine,
00:44:41.880
has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming
00:44:45.620
and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money.
00:44:51.380
Watch Jim's warning video now before it's censored like I've been
00:44:59.000
That's RickardsWarRoom.com now to see the video.
00:45:11.040
You know, Andrew was the ultimate First Amendment guy, free speech guy,
00:45:15.460
and was the most powerful warrior I think we ever had in that.
00:45:23.060
I follow it closely because I'm in media, but it's not.
00:45:27.500
But I defer to people like Andrew Breitbart and I defer to people like Darren Beattie
00:45:33.080
But here's the—on the 30-front war, this is going to get down to this.
00:45:37.580
We're going to have a huge blow up here in a couple of days, folks,
00:45:42.680
And they're going to be—you know, the Trump guys are filing more and more motions.
00:45:55.400
Avenatti from prison—actually, I don't know how he tweets from prison,
00:46:00.480
but he is in prison, I think, and he tweeted pretty powerful.
00:46:06.760
And Michael Cohen's like a regular co-host on MSNBC.
00:46:09.320
If they're up there all the time—and this is him saying it.
00:46:11.260
If they're up there all the time, just hammering Trump nonstop
00:46:14.660
on this massive network over at MSNBC, how can Trump not say things?
00:46:19.020
So it's one of the weapons of an opposition party.
00:46:25.600
It's one of the most powerful weapons that got Trump into the White House.
00:46:31.700
So, Darren, go back to this, because you see with the work you're doing
00:46:35.960
and Michael Benz is doing, you're telling us that, hey, darker days are coming.
00:46:41.440
They're going to try to shut you down on all of this.
00:46:45.940
And what we're seeing here is another aspect of lawfare.
00:46:47.920
So take it from the top and walk me through it slowly.
00:46:51.520
Yes, it's a deeper form of lawfare because it seeks to establish a really dangerous precedent.
00:46:58.680
That's what I was mentioning before the break, is we've covered pretty extensively
00:47:03.000
the emergence of this phrase, this term disinformation,
00:47:07.420
this term of art borrowed from the psychological warfare offices of the CIA and other agencies,
00:47:13.920
this term of art that's typically used in the context of information warfare with other nations.
00:47:20.400
Now, of course, everything's been repurposed domestically in order to silence Trump supporters.
00:47:25.920
And so we have this term disinformation that's seemingly ubiquitous now.
00:47:29.840
It's always used in a kind of artificial context, in a fake context, in a politically motivated context.
00:47:38.680
And it's almost always used to shut up speech that the regime doesn't like and use it as a pretext to deplatform conservatives.
00:47:46.420
That was sort of the first wave of if you say something wrong, if you say so-called disinformation,
00:47:53.700
you're deplatformed from Twitter or Facebook or whatever.
00:47:58.140
They're moving into the second phase, a more, shall we say, severe form of deplatforming.
00:48:06.740
And in order to do that, they have to take the whole disinformation ideological architecture
00:48:16.020
And so they've picked this fairly obscure and old and, frankly, kind of obsolete statute,
00:48:26.520
It was basically set up in the aftermath of Reconstruction to prevent people from intimidating
00:48:34.340
African-Americans at the polls so, you know, so they would be able to vote.
00:48:39.700
Of course, this is an entirely different context of somebody sharing a funny meme online.
00:48:45.200
But they're trying to say, well, disinformation is deception.
00:48:49.400
And that's basically just as good as intimidating.
00:48:53.220
It's the same type of deprivation of a right, in this case, the right to vote.
00:48:58.680
And so if they get this precedent in the door, a wide range of things, basically anything you
00:49:03.980
can imagine that's considered to be disinformation by these corrupt ruling elites can not only get
00:49:11.460
you banned from Facebook, it can now get you thrown in prison.
00:49:16.140
And this case of Doug Mackey is the test balloon.
00:49:19.180
And so if they actually win here, if they prevail, I don't think they will.
00:49:23.820
But if they prevail in appeal, that's what the implication is for the entire country.
00:49:29.200
If you say something that Biden doesn't like, that Hillary doesn't like, that Amy Klobuchar
00:49:34.400
doesn't like, you're not just going to be banned from Twitter anymore.
00:49:40.900
Because that's what actually Doug was facing here, 10 years.
00:49:47.860
They had to do it in, they had to, the Eastern District too is, wait for it, Brooklyn.
00:49:54.900
Hillary Clinton, Robbie Mook, and Robbie Mook and all the people that lost the election
00:50:01.260
Remember, they were too, they looked down their nose in Wisconsin.
00:50:04.020
They never sent her to Michigan, never sent her to Wisconsin.
00:50:06.340
And even Bill knew it, Bill knew it, and he was warning them.
00:50:13.120
Sullivan, and Sullivan, Jake Sullivan, I was sat there and said, hey, you're not going to
00:50:18.560
And Robbie Mook goes, we don't need that, we got a new coalition.
00:50:23.100
Mackey, what, you were found guilty, what was the penalty?
00:50:29.180
Yeah, so I was sentenced to seven months in a federal prison and a $15,000 fine back in
00:50:40.960
So after the sentence of hearing, interestingly enough, the judge denied our motion for bond
00:50:49.840
So we went to the circuit and we won a bond pending appeal.
00:50:54.280
Otherwise, I'd be sitting in a prison cell right now.
00:50:56.440
So on Friday, we have some very well-respected judges in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals
00:51:03.000
will hear this case, the oral arguments on Friday.
00:51:08.720
We got amicus from the likes of Professor Eugene Volokh.
00:51:12.500
So we're very optimistic about what's going to happen in the circuit.
00:51:16.080
And we look forward to the oral arguments on Friday.
00:51:18.900
Can you, hey, Darren, can you and Doug just hang, I want to take you into the next hour.
00:51:29.200
As important as this is, this is what they're going to try.
00:51:35.920
They, particularly as we start to add more elements to our movement, as President Trump
00:51:43.720
is bringing in a broader coalition, this is going to be one of the ones that, one of the
00:51:56.880
I could care less because the show gets bigger every day.
00:51:59.140
But this is the de-banking and the de-platform.
00:52:03.520
But they're going to take this now to a darker place of actually putting you in prison.
00:52:07.280
Hey, Peter Navarro, one of the best men in this country, has done more for this country
00:52:11.860
that did the China tariffs, went after China, secured the southern border when he came to
00:52:25.600
Our own Dr. Peter Navarro is in prison, even as we speak.
00:52:32.700
Okay, one of the things is stop giving, you know, you get to vote every day.
00:52:37.160
What I mean by that, with your dollars, with who you give your commerce to.
