Chapter 1: What are the implications of Trump's media control?
Donald Trump and his minions will do whatever it takes to keep opposition from them. Donald Trump is corrupt. He is surrounded by people that are corrupt. He has taken over media giants. And all we've heard about is how Stephen Colbert went out on CBS on his show that because of CBS and Trump is canceled at the end of May of this year.
And he went out and said, CBS did not want to air an interview I did with James Tallarico. And then he put it on YouTube.
Chapter 2: How does James Talarico address free speech concerns?
So let's hear what Tallarico has to say about this horrible attack on free speech.
This is the party that ran against cancel culture, and now they're trying to control what we watch, what we say, what we read. And this is the most dangerous kind of cancel culture, the kind that comes from the top. They went after The View because I went on there. They went after Jimmy Kimmel for telling a joke they didn't like.
They went after you for telling the truth about Paramount's bribe to Donald Trump. Corporate... Corporate media executives are selling out the First Amendment to curry favor with corrupt politicians.
Chapter 3: What is the relationship between cancel culture and political power?
And a threat to any of our First Amendment rights is a threat to all of our First Amendment rights.
I can see why they didn't want it on CBS, because we know Barry Weiss, she would just have a heart attack over that.
Yeah, a couple of things here. Number one, there's something about Tallarico that bothers them in the same way they were bothered by Zoran Mamdani. And when you have a bunch of oligarchs and powerful men, they're using the old playbook to use religion to control people. They are... sinking their claws into your fight or flight reflexes.
And the right wing Christian sect of the American electorate has always been the most, the easiest to co-opt. So if you have this candidate like James Tallarico that reminds people of what Christianity is supposed to be, what Jesus Christ advocated for, that he was a radical empath and very much against, spoke out exclusively against the accumulation of wealth. Tallarica reminds people of that.
So that is a real weapon that they know that it could really penetrate into some voters the same way that Zoran Mamdani was a real problem for
a lot of Israel-first style politicians because their whole propaganda is, oh, Muslims are all terrorists, Muslims want to kill everybody, Muslims are eating dogs, or they are killing your dogs, or they're going to ban your dogs, all this crazy shit, right? And then you have Zoran Mamdani, who's a radical empath.
His faith is private to him, but he draws a lot of serenity and really good-natured policy from it, the same way Tallarico is. Number two, the problem with somebody like Larry Ellison that bought CBS is at first you think, God, it's really bad that the media is for profit.

Chapter 4: How does religion influence political narratives?
That's really bad because then they're just going to like Fox News. It's just going to be whatever makes money, and that's what they're going to do.
i didn't think it'd get worse than that larry ellison he's so rich these are side projects it's not for profit for him it is for control it is for propaganda he is an israel first american he knows donald trump's a dipshit and he knows that he can use him he installed barry weiss who is completely unqualified and a total
dipshit who is an Israel first American because they want to propagandize the public and they cannot have the Zoran Mamdani's and the James Tallarico. And you think, what would a Christian and Muslim have in common? Well, what they have in common is they use their faith for good. They don't push it onto other people. But the United States is a super religious country.
I don't like all the religiosity in politics. For me, it's very off-putting. But this is a very religious country. And these reminders, these good politicians that remind people Their faith calls on them to be compassionate and to help the needy and help the sick. That's something that even in the most hateful of hate churches, these Christians have heard before.
And so I just think it's a really interesting thing. And also, I am so... proud slash devastated that the people that stand up against this regime, comedians, podcasters, where is the democratic leadership? Why aren't they standing up like Stephen Colbert just did? Why are other corporations standing up?
Those are my thoughts on that. No, I agree with you completely. I was thinking that same thing about Stephen Colbert. He and Jimmy Kimmel have more balls than the leadership we have in the House and the Senate because they are putting everything on the line to speak truth to power, and we're just not seeing that.
And one thing that Tallarico does, and I do think he's even a bigger threat than Zoran because he's white. I mean, he's a white male from Texas. And the way he eloquently pointed out the hypocrisy of Maggot and the administration, I'm gonna play it, and it was really well said.
50 years, the religious right, a political movement, that is the perfect description for it. They convinced a lot of our fellow Christians that the most important issues were abortion and gay marriage.

Chapter 5: What makes James Talarico a unique political figure?
Two issues that aren't mentioned in the Bible, two issues that Jesus never talked about, Jesus in Matthew 25 tells us exactly how you and I and every one of our fellow believers, how we're gonna be judged and how we're gonna be saved. By feeding the hungry, by healing the sick, by welcoming the stranger. Nothing about going to church, nothing about voting Republican.
It was all about how you treat other people. Don't, don't... I've said... I've said before, don't tell me what you believe. Show me how you treat other people, and I'll tell you what you believe.
I just thought that was really plain spoken and well said. And just from a personal standpoint, I grew up, as everybody knows, evangelical churches. Every person in there that I would stand shoulder to shoulder with would say they believe everything that he just said about feeding the poor, doing the sick, and then they go out and they do the exact opposite of that.
and justify it in their head somehow with dissonance, with willful denial. I know that because I did it. And I love people that still do it. But I think a message like that is a mirror to these people. They know what the right thing to do is. They know you shouldn't put people in concentration camps. You shouldn't separate families, but nobody's willing to take a look in the mirror.
And I think that's what he is. He's a look in the mirror.
Yeah, I think that's precisely, that messaging right there is precisely why he wasn't allowed to go on. That combined with one of his really good messages is, they have you looking at the wrong 1%, and he's referring to trans people.

Chapter 6: Why is the portrayal of Jesus in politics controversial?
And he said, the real 1% they don't want you to look at are the billionaires. And he speaks out against billionaires. And if Texas the Texas race were to go blue, the Senate race, which we've had a lot of good candidates try. And he's got a big primary right now with Jasmine Crockett on the Democratic side, and they're gonna have to duke that out and, you know, may the best politician win.
But this thing right here, Trump messing with him like this, Now, everybody's going to want to watch it. And I guarantee you there's a lot of people that are sending that clip, the one that you just did, to their religious parents that are MAGA and reminding them, you make me, you know, this is what I remember about church. What you all are has made me not want to be religious.
And so there's real conversations that are going to be played out if a super religious progressive like that, if he wins the primary and if he isn't a general and you put him up against Paxton, I think would probably win that primary. And I think he's the guy. that his wife filed for divorce for biblical reasons because I think he was slapping, tickling, you know, he's fucking around.
She found out, she throws the Bible into the divorce thing. So that would be a super juicy race against like the Bible thumper, I'm a right-wing MAGA Christian, the Republican Jesus versus the actual Jesus. That would be interesting because I have always found as a non-religious person
The most religious people I know are always the cruelest, and this is just in Oklahoma, you guys, because religious people in Oklahoma are really mean. I know on the coast, people can be religious and not cruel, but it is a feature, not a bug, of evangelical Christianity.
I think that this type of messaging, you know, like whenever I hear Bernie Sanders speak as a non-religious person, when I hear this atheist Jewish man speak, I always think, well, that sounds more like, because I've studied religion.

Chapter 7: How do conspiracy theories impact public perception?
I was like, well, this sounds more like that character Jesus in the Bible is what Bernie Sanders is saying. Because it's not just that Jesus speaks out against the accumulation of wealth once, it's multiple times. He absolutely was not a capitalist. Jesus Christ was not a capitalist.
And so the hoodwink of the Republican Party, because these religious people are so easily co-opted, is one for the ages that they have Jesus as this huge white, you know, blue eyed capitalist. Let's accumulate wealth. It's really wild if you really actually study the words of Jesus.
Well, one thing I just want to point out to your point about all of the interference done by the Trump administration, I think I read that 2.3 million people generally watch Colbert. And as of noon today, it was over 10 million on all the platforms. I mean, people are going to see this. And I personally have clipped this for my very religious family that I will see later this week.
And so I am anxious to be like, I'm not going to be antagonistic about it, but just defend this. just defend it. Why do you think that this is okay? Because you've got little kids that are held in concentration camps. You have people being taken off the streets that have been here their entire lives. How can you defend it?
And I know that they have defended this administration, so it will be interesting. And I just, I want to close with just the contrast. You have James Tallarico speaking about what Jesus did, and then you have Randy Fines, who is disgusting, despicable. I'm not going to play the clip because his voice is so gross, but he goes on Newsmax and he doubles down and then he attacks AOC.
and goes back to eating the dogs.
And I just was like, how? What it goes back to is not eating the dogs. This is a new conspiracy theory that is getting started. And it is that they are gonna ban you from having dogs with pets. And where this comes from, this is the new MAGA conspiracy theory. You know, the litter boxes and the furries. Now Trump has furries

Chapter 8: What are the potential consequences of the dog ban conspiracy?
at Mar-a-Lago. And then they moved on to the eating the dogs and cats. Now there was somebody who does not work for Zoran that said something about, because I think Muslims cannot have dogs. I think a lot of Muslims do have dogs, but I think that that's something that's in the Quran.
So now they're claiming that Zoran is going to ban dogs in New York and AOC is colluding on this and they're going to, you can't have a pet dog. I live in New York, you guys. These dogs... You can go in every single store. You can take your dog in a restaurant. The best dressed dogs I've ever seen. A lot of them wear shoes. They have raincoats. My dogs have fantastic New York outfits.
I can't get them to wear the shoes. This is the complete scaring of the rubes that they do. Nobody that lives in New York would even take this seriously for a second. But Debbie in Choctaw, Oklahoma is going to be on Facebook, keyboard courage, going, Zoran and AOC are going to ban dogs in New York City.
And I heard that this is going on in New York City and Debbie's never fucking been to New York City. This is what they do. This is the kind of shit they pull. They make up some stupid lie. And instead of him apologizing, instead of him, Moses Mike Grinder Johnson kicking his ass out of the Senate and making an example that racism will get you canceled in the United States Senate period.
I mean, House, the United States House. But they don't. And now they're all going to be leaning in. I guarantee we are one to two news cycles away from Donald Trump truth socialing that the Democrats are going to ban you from having a dog. That is coming because we're on the very front end of this conspiracy theory. And that's coming. And guess what's going to happen?
Remember, Obama, Obama's going to take your guns. He didn't take your guns. Now all the lesbians are getting guns and the MAGA is super mad about this. I read a whole article about it. The MAGA, I can't believe the lesbians are getting guns. And it's like, what the fuck did you think? I mean, y'all want everybody to have guns.
So this is gonna, this is their new, this is their new shtick and they're all gonna roll up. Megyn Kelly, Donald Trump, JD Vance. It's gonna be an all-star lineup of them saying the Democrats are gonna take your pets.
that you can't have a pet dog anymore and it's just such it's just the people that believe this are so stupid truly they're dumb okay you heard it here first i mean jennifer is not wrong about this so we're we're gonna wait we're gonna see how many new cycles before it's dogs are banned in new york city all right please like this video subscribe to our channel and we'll be back with more news
