0:00.0	I've spoken to you many times before about the cult of mega-Trumpism and I have new
0:21.9	polling data that is so mind-blowingly unbelievable, so incredibly moronic and stupid that we
0:29.1	have to discuss it. In a new poll of Republicans, more Republicans see Trump as a person of faith
0:38.0	than they do. Mitt Romney and Mike Pence, two Republicans whose overt political identity is
0:45.4	characterized by their religious faith. Mitt Romney and his Mormon faith, Mike Pence and some
0:51.5	version of evangelicalism, I guess, I guess is what his deal is. But yet Republicans say Trump
0:58.9	is more of a person of faith than either Romney or Pence. Take a look at this. More than half
1:05.2	this is from the desert news. More than half of Republicans see Trump as a person of faith,
1:10.6	putting him ahead of more vocally religious figures like his own former vice president, Mike Pence,
1:16.1	according to a new national poll conducted by Harris X for the desert news. Registered voters were
1:22.0	asked whether they considered a list of political figures, people of faith. Trump was at the top of
1:27.1	the list for Republicans while president Joe Biden topped the list for Democrats. Among
1:31.9	independents, Senator Mitt Romney was most likely to be seen as a person of faith. Look at these
1:36.8	numbers. Among Republicans, 53% said Trump was a person of faith ahead of everybody else,
1:44.4	although he was statistically tied with Pence at 52. Trump also led several other opponents in
1:51.7	the primary, 47% of Republicans say DeSantis is a person of faith, 31% say Tim Scott is a person
1:59.1	of faith, 31 for Nikki Haley, 30 for Vivek Ramaswami and 22 for governor Chris Christie.
2:07.3	This is so unbelievable. You know, Mitt Romney's religion is quite literally his primary identity.
2:14.7	When you think of Mitt Romney, you think of, oh, that's the Mormon Republican. That's that's
2:19.6	what he's known for. It was the entire primary identity when he ran against Barack Obama in 2012
2:26.9	and it is, yes, Republican. But once you say, fine, here's a bunch of Republicans. What do you think
2:31.9	of when you think of Romney? You think of religion. You think of, he's Mormon. Trump is not religious.
