| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's Will Salatan from The Bullwork. |
| 0:02.4 | So last week, Donald Trump spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast. |
| 0:08.0 | So it's one of many speeches that he's given that are supposed to be about faith. |
| 0:14.0 | But there's something a little bit off about what Trump actually says in these speeches, almost like he's the exact |
| 0:24.4 | opposite of a real Christian. So what I want to do today is just take you through some of the |
| 0:32.1 | most obvious moral instructions in the Bible. And let's see how well Trump stacks up against what the Bible says. |
| 0:43.4 | So let's start with the basics, the Ten Commandments. Here's an easy one. You shall not steal. |
| 0:51.1 | Pretty simple. So, for example, Venezuela has oil. So it would be wrong for us to go to |
| 1:00.0 | Venezuela and attack their country and take over their oil industry and make them give us |
| 1:08.3 | 50 million barrels of oil, right? So let's hear what Trump said at the prayer breakfast |
| 1:16.0 | about that. In fact, we have 50 million barrels of oil floating right now over to Houston. |
| 1:22.9 | That's Venezuela's oil. We didn't pay for it. We just went in and we kidnapped their dictator. |
| 1:30.8 | And then we told them that we would attack their country again if they didn't let us control |
| 1:38.1 | their oil. So they gave us 50 million barrels of oil. That's the theft. We stole their oil. And Trump, at a prayer |
| 1:48.7 | breakfast, is bragging about it. Okay, so let's try another obvious commandment. Here's one. |
| 1:58.3 | You shall not murder. So, for example, if an army officer was convicted by our own |
| 2:05.7 | military courts of murdering, murdering civilians, it would be wrong to let him walk free, right? |
| 2:14.0 | But that is exactly what Trump did. In fact, he let several convicted or accused murderers in our |
| 2:23.0 | military walk free. And here he is at the prayer breakfast bragging about it. They have arrested |
| 2:30.7 | American soldiers because they taught them, they taught them how to fight, |
| 2:35.6 | and they fought really well, and they won every battle. |
| 2:40.3 | And now they put them in jail because they said they were too tough. |
