Ep. 251: The Chosen One -- From Pat Robertson and The 700 Club to Donald Trump the Christian Fascist
Aug 28, 2019
Terry Heaton was a television news executive for The Christian Broadcasting Network during the 1980s where he worked primarily on "The 700 Club". Heaton also served as one of Pat Robertson's advisers during his 1988 presidential campaign.
Terry Heaton is the author of several books including his most recent, "The Gospel of Self: How Jesus Joined the GOP".
Heaton explains how right-wing Christian Evangelicals have come to worship and love Donald Trump, a man who is an unapologetic sinner. Heaton also offers insights on how there is a direct connection between the Christian Broadcasting Network and Christian Nationalists such as Pat Robertson (who ran for president in 1988) and Fox News and Donald Trump’s rise to power and their taking over the Republican Party and its voters. Heaton also warns about the power and influence of Pat Robertson and his “shadow government” of right-wing Christian Evangelicals and their decades-long campaign to overthrow secular democracy in America.
Chauncey DeVega reflects on this especially bizarre and unusual last week in TrumpWorld where the Great Leader proclaimed himself the Second Coming of God and King of Israel -- and also tried to buy Greenland. Chauncey offers a warning: believe Donald Trump the transparent authoritarian and American fascist as he means what he says. And Chauncey also explains how Donald Trump continues to use scripted violence and stochastic terrorism as tool to inspire violence by his supporters – this time through his anti-Semitic tweets and claims that “real Jewish people” support the Republican Party and Trump’s regime.
At the end of this week's show Chauncey shares a special “Easter egg” which is his conversation with Farron Cousins and Ring of Fire Radio and The Majority Report with Sam Seder about Trump’s madness, right-wing terrorism, and how Trump will likely win reelection in 2020.
