On the Media · J.D. Vance: Iran Deal Fall Guy · 19 Jun 2026 podcast

And so that is the terrain of this battle, are these institutions that have been part of this coalitional mindset of holding together the different factions of MAGA,

And the war in Gaza, the Charlie Kirk assassination, the war in Iran have just driven the wedge deeper and deeper into the very base of Trump's support.

Yeah.

You could start with the birth of Jesus if you wanted, right?

Jesus was born a Jewish man in the first century.

Almost all of his early followers were immersed within Jewish cultural and religious life.

I mean, they go to synagogue, they follow kosher.

The major argument in the New Testament is, are we still Jewish?

Do we need to adhere to all the trappings of Jewish religious life, especially around Torah?

And this becomes then over time, and it takes a couple centuries, the fracture between Judaism and Christianity, what we often would call the parting of the ways.

A lot changes when the Emperor Constantine converts to Christianity, right?

Suddenly Christianity goes from being this kind of persecuted minority religion in the pagan empire into becoming the imperial religion.

And over the course of the fourth century, Christians are in the position of power.

And the elements of Christianity that really love Judaism, that want to attach to Judaism, they are given an amount of power over Jews that they can exert coercive control.

And the elements of the Christian community that have deep antipathy and resentment towards Jews

Well, they're also given more power and control.

And this develops over time into these kind of two trajectories.

Both of them, I would argue, quite toxic in Christian-Jewish relations.

This kind of trajectory of hatred and resentment, ultimately, we come to talk about as anti-Semitism.

Yeah, the formal theological term is supersessionism.
