>> biden had won the election? >> i do. i was at my house and i got a phone call thing that biden won and i was like, what's you couldn't believe it? no, absolutely. and people around me couldn't believe it either. >> you can't believe it. >> i still can't believe it what did you decide to?

the last thing that we have to lose as each other it had been just three years since the capital attack the day that cost lives and ruin lives but the truth of what happened that day has been so twisted lies about january 6 was have been relentless, almost like it was a coordinated operation so forms. >> 20 confirmed incidents. that dozens of fads, mpi, just state operatives who infiltrated the trump crowds on january 6, us capitol, we have total on top of all the other proof, more proof that those who took part in the attack are being loaded in churches. >> oddball corruption that happens surrounding january 6, the fed's direction because we know that the federal government wasn't and the man who incited at all these still bigger so this has says rachel, we love you, trump are you hoping trump? >> pardon you. >> i know he'll pardon me. that's not a hope. i know that trump will pardon me. >> rachel still had faith in trump even phasing the election lies that we're sending her to prison but how will i read these lies among the wider trump base?

>> he began thing here at the desert springs bible church 23 years later. he's still here let's in this room. where you had your awakening? yeah. >> are traditionally call it like a conversion experience? and i was baptized in this room. it's been quite a ride. i definitely didn't expect to be pastor, much less a pastor in church like this. >> do you know how many times god is mentioned in this? >> and the constitution? zero yeah. it gets mentioned once i think our lord, just in terms of in the year of our lord evangelical christians of which i am one i'm a theological evangelical. they are generally operating under the assumption that the christian god is all over the declaration of independence, the constitution. and then i'll just invite them to read it let's read it together and let's just highlight all this spaces that anything uniquely christian shows up and you'll notice that we have not had to plot our highlighter there are certainly ideas that have been shaped throughout human history by the christian tradition it's not power that dominates are six pastor caleb is not alone in his fight against christian nationalism in milwaukee, where trump will officially be declared the republican in candidate at the rnc this summer pastures jackson jacobson and shaw are also sounding the alarm. can you really with a straight face, look at life, teachings, way and death of jesus and line that up with the correlates of christian nationalism, anti muslim racist anti-immigrant. i mean, it just doesn't work what i'll hear events is the founding fathers for christian america was built off christian values therefore, this is a christian country and we should have christian government why then is jesus nor christianity mentioned in the constitution then why would you even placing their freedom of religion? so to me the argument is silly, is nonsense. >> i'm going to really have a problem with christianity of you say that it was found of a christian values with the things that took place, right here on american soil. >> what was done to the native americans land, what was done to my people, eight others? >> dennis, i can sense that you're particularly but yeah. i mean, i this really gets to you. yeah. does i've headed up to here with distortion of one of the most astonishing revolutionaries into a white cheeses wearing a red maga hat it's just unbelievable to me. i think one reason that younger people are walking right past the door to church is because of the idiocy they see in this movement so a lot of americans believe that god views america as special we tell ourselves that that's part of how we have justified things like warfare. this crusade this war on terrorism it's going to take awhile. >> we've said we're the good. they're the evil. god has this relationship with the past few days when i've been at that window upstairs, i thought a bit of the shining city upon a hill. >> reagan invited okay that america is the city on a hill. >> well, that's jerusalem that's biblical language used of jerusalem in 2020, pastor campbell began losing congregants so as a evangelical preacher, i'll alliterate. >> it was floyd fauci and the federal election so what were they angry about oh, the way that we navigated a global pandemic our response to george floyd and his murder, just the fact that we called it murder was met with resistance and then the federal election came. >> and i was accused of advocating for the blue team because i didn't from the stage advocate for the red team. i don't tell people how i vote and by taking that posture is viewed as a betrayal of what god had chosen some of his congregants left for you dream city church at place steeped in christian nationalism is the duty of our christian nation to select next and prefer christians. >> for their rulers very special. >> thank you to the dream city church. the hosting peace to foster caleb has spent months attending christian nationalists events, something he documents in his book, disarming leviathan most of the folks that i've met, like on the ground i'm not talking about the leaders and the purveyors of american krishna they truly believe that this is what god wants. i honor their patriots because i share much of their sentiments but they are afraid they're anxious about being erased. i think at the heart of this movement is the anxiety of ethnic or racial that our way of being in the world is under imminent threat do you see similarities there and wash you are looking for? yeah. >> it's what all of us are looking for were made as communal creatures, were made for each other so for me as a angry rage filled teenager i found those things in this community in american christian nationalist circles, many people are finding safety, belonging, purpose. the problem is that you're not actually truly safe if you ask a critical question and a christian nationalists circle you will be tossed out. you'll be viewed as, you know, there's one of the phrases, a rhino, a republican in name only but this isn't just about christians and churches it's about how distrust and fear is affecting our understanding of reality i think you guys do sound bites. >> my conversation with joe back in vegas had been briefed but he had given me as number to stay in touch they'll pay joe. >> how are you doing i thought our conversation the other day was very interesting. >> so i wanted to see if you'd be open to chatting about that a bit further. >> maybe i'd come come to colorado to visit because it you sure mom let's go to colorado when the. >> jinx came out, i thought, oh, my god when bob has a friend, he expects blind loyalty. >> are going to be why do them surprises have you heard sling tv offers the news you love for less weight. >> you look and sound just like me actually i am, you. because on the same news programs on sling for less, you mean you're me but for less money, a lot less. i'm all your favor. news programs and more on sling starting at just $40 a month. everything great about me, but for less money, which makes me greater than you think it's the same news for less, starting at $40 a month merely a turnoff alarm. >> emilia, whether reason send amelie unlocked the door. i'm afraid i can't do that why not? did you forget something my protein shake the futures and scary, not investing in it is. >> so dramatic. amelia. >> by jim, 100 innovative companies, one etf, before investing here we read and consider fund investment objectives, risks, charges, expense in more in prospectus that invest go.com time may change, but some things remain timely for you. how much softer leaves your skin? >> dove is one quarter moisturizing cream. i've been using. more than 25 years after seven days i feel like brand new woman i can. >> duty starts with my skill don't know when migraine strikes. >> do you question the trade-offs of treating you've rally is another option, it works back doing women eight migraines names do not take a strong 3a4 inhibitors, allergic reactions. can you go to can happen. most common side effects are nausea and sleepiness ask about you, belle-v, with so many choices on booking.com, there are so many tina phase i could be so i heard body doubles to help me out splurging. >> tina loves a hotel near road day you drive tina tina booked a farm stay to ride this horse glenn close with many as of possibility you can book whoever you want to be that's my line booking.com booking dot yeah the way they need the loan back fast and unit scott's turf visit rafi grass grows grass two times faster and see the loan given you a stronger laws so get scouts to rebuild a rapid grass today. it's guaranteed fee. did feeder to test the toughness of the key a sorrento x pro and the key is sorrento turbo-hybrid we recreated some of the wettest spring hottest summers wendy is false and coldest winters all on one track to prove these three row suvs was built for the i paid before go to harrys.com slash shave to claim your $7 trial. >> how it really happened on cnn here we are in grand junction. in grand junction. >> what happened to what happens in vegas stays in vegas? >> yeah. why didn't you stay there some guys come home from vegas with a new bride you come back from vegas. but a bunch of cnn guys everybody makes mistakes after meeting him outside a trump rally in las vegas. >> are you guys going to cover it accurately? >> i wanted to understand better why joe doesn't trust someone like me a journalist from the so-called mainstream media he let us hang out with him for a couple of days here in grand jury junction, colorado have you always been interested in politics since obama i've been pretty interested in politics. >> okay, so 2008 yeah what was it about obama that got you interested it was just all the talk around resident of the united states is a very smooth talking character. hope is that thing inside each of us, there is no challenge too great great, no mission too hard. >> it's up there and he's very articulate the words as flow, right out of his mouth. >> obama you got to be careful for smooth dockers so if you want to find out what's going on in the world, just right now today. >> what do you do that check out different platforms that i feel that i can trust one being telegram telegram is definitely one. yeah telegram is a platform first developed in russia that has few rules, few moderators, and no fact-checkers they made their big rise to fame after the 20 in 20 election. >> so explain that to us telegram gets big when, when twitter and facebook and even google, like youtube and stuff we're sensoring a lot of information that they were calling miss information cnn are we got some more breaking news coming into the situation? to room right now with the president's twitter account has been suspended. i feel like that's an insult to people to not be able to look at information into discern it themselves. they're basically calling that person is stupid joe says his facebook account was banned for sharing a meme about january 6, becerra on my phone one day and all of a sudden has been deactivated. how does that feel? >> it was horrible i liked facebook social marketplace. >> we can do business, you can find things. >> so it's like being cut off of a part of life. it's like thanks a lot. mark or whoever's in charge. >> so what's a channel you follow on telegram phone to see somebody news for today. >> my favorite one, it's called patriot memes. >> it's a lot of memes that's care couple of minutes. >> not a woman, not a hero not a woman. >> that's the bud light's person present carrying skills, right? we're not a hero george floyd i visited joe a couple of weeks before the super bowl it was just as the conspiracy theory, the taylor swift was helping read the game to help biden started circulating online. who's one of the first things that popped up on chose feed? >> let's go to something that's like news though. >> yeah, citizens, this is from benny johnson by now. >> everyone knows taylor swift has a government psi up. and this is exactly why corporate media is having a meltdown about it. you don't believe taylor swift as a gordon say i don't know what to believe about taylor swift. it's good to keep your mind open. >> could she be now she's dating a pfizer and bud light agent in the nfl because we're a few weeks from the super bowl yeah. nurse, take an endorsement from taylor swift. there? >> yeah. >> via ministration and then who's going to win the super bowl. >> but you don't take the super bowl is goodness seeing it. do you think i think football's braved? yeah. okay there's a cnn clip in here. >> watch cnn has a meltdown over. our coverage of the taylor swift sayyed up. >> here are the latest conspiracy theory making the rounds at the super bowl will be rigged for kelce and the kansas city chiefs. and the endgame is swift endorsing fighting after the big game. here are some of the messages. i'm trying not to laugh circulating on social media. vivek ramaswamy, i watched which win the super, but did she do trying not to laugh? >> i'm trying not to laugh. you don't kind of thing. >> so why isn't it okay to take that in into let it register and think about it for a minute. could that be possible? that there could be some funding going to taylor swift or stuff like that that could lean her into a certain direction so that she would support somebody i mean, that could be totally possible i call that a conspiracy theory. >> okay. >> sure. yeah. >> what what i find most difficult to believe, but the taylor swift, travis kelce super bowl conspiracy theory is that you think the democrats the so organized organized. do you think? >> i do? yes we're gonna get together as well as reading the super bowl. and taylor is going to back biden for president that's just so much stuff like that is so much organization, but not that hard. you don't think rigging the election, it'd be a lot more complicated this is a fraud on the american public. we know there was massive fraud. it was a rigged election it seems that trump's convincing one of millions of americans at the last election was rigged has opened some kind of gateway that the election was stolen. results the results are to say that's, that's another law that's been portrayed by the lab. there's no separation of church and state which one morning? >> troll by the illuminati their life twist. and they're tagging the children there kind of files the gateway ten alternate reality. >> you where anything is possible january sinks some kind of inside job where taylor swift and rig the super bowl are you a cue fan?
