| 0:00.0 | Well, howdy there, Internet people, it spell again. |
| 0:06.2 | So today, we're going to talk about Pope Fiction, Hexeth, Trump, and the Pope. |
| 0:14.2 | The administrations run at insulting Christians continues, with officials continuing to attempt to use the Bible, or Hollywood |
| 0:23.9 | scripts in some cases, to make their point and attack their political opposition. |
| 0:30.4 | Let's start with what's probably the most covered part. During a prayer service, Hegeseth used a modified version of Samuel L. Jackson's |

| 1:48.9 | of biblical concepts. |
