Michael CohenHOST
The way that he bullshitted the evangelist, like I'm still very close.
Michael CohenHOST
I even spoke to him yesterday, both Jerry and Becky Falwell.
Michael CohenHOST
I speak to them all the time.
Michael CohenHOST
They've been friends of mine now for a long, long time.
Michael CohenHOST
I write again in my book.
Michael CohenHOST
I did it because I didn't want him to be embarrassed.
Michael CohenHOST
He was getting his ass kicked there, and Jerry Falwell Jr. is a well-known individual, and that was going to give him some credibility.
Michael CohenHOST
Franklin Graham said no at the time, so I had asked Jerry, who's a friend of mine, again for a long, long time.
Jennifer WelchHOST
NRA, the gun lobby, through the National Prayer Breakfast.
Jennifer WelchHOST
It just seems like, you know, Trump, that Jerry Falwell Jr. is the whole reason that we have Trump as president because he got the evangelicals to go vote for Trump.
Jennifer WelchHOST
And I think that the evangelical movement is so broken right now.
Jennifer WelchHOST
Like, once you keep capitulating to immorality, you're, y- you're just so broken.
Roxanne KincaidHOST
You've taken over all the planes, trains, and automobiles they've owned, and gas ain't cheap.
Roxanne KincaidHOST
That's damned lie, juvenile delinquent number two, because we all actually know that who took all that over was fat dead now Jerry Falwell.
Roxanne KincaidHOST
Not sure what Jerry Falwell Jr. did with it.
Roxanne KincaidHOST
He may have used the plane to fly the pool boy up from Florida so that he could have sex with Becca.
Roxanne KincaidHOST
Or, you know, over there tied to a chair, gimp mask.
BaileyHOST
Like, like Richard Roberts or Robertson had like sexual, like abuse allegations.
AshleyHOST
Jerry Falwell Jr.
AshleyHOST
My favorite.
BaileyHOST
Yeah.
Jennifer WelchHOST
So this is incredibly alarming to me because whenever somebody is up to no good, they invite the evangelical Christians to come to the table.
Jennifer WelchHOST
And, uh, Michael Cohen did this with, um, uh, Jerry Falwell Jr. Donald Trump, the establishment Fox News was like, "Eh, eh, we don't want this guy."
Jack CocchiarellaGUEST
That's Mike Pence.
Jennifer WelchHOST
All of the establishment, uh, Republicans, "No, we don't want this guy." And they knew if they could get these evangelical pastors to vote for him, and it was gonna be an uphill because you have a philanderer, you have a grab 'em by the pussy, fucking porn stars, and, you know, under the scene psychologically, we know a lot of evangelical pastors do this too.
AnthonyHOST
So there's-
RayHOST
I mean, Jerry Falwell Jr. was given a jet by the Israelis so he could travel and promote Israel.
AnthonyHOST
And, and a lot of those, a lot of those, uh, channels would, you know, they would do a lot of the, you know, Christians and Jewish fellowship commercials to, like, raise money.
AnthonyHOST
So that was-
Jennifer WelchHOST
This news channel has done, you know, 80% negative stories about you, which, I mean, to me, I'm like, duh, Captain Obvious, there's nothing positive to say.
Jennifer WelchHOST
But for a young aide to have that type of power over the President of the United States is worthy of a background check, and Natalie Harp was homeschooled in a fundamental- fundamentalist religious upbringing, you know, like the Earth is 5,000 years old, dinosaurs and man lived together at the same time, and then she attended Liberty University, and Liberty Uni- University is that school that Jerry Falwell Jr., um, and you might remember Jerry Falwell Sr., he is the guy who thought the Teletubbies were gay and was just a Christian nationalist nut job.
Jennifer WelchHOST
And I remember back during the time when these people were considered fringe, like, they were not invited in polite society, the Jerry Falwells of the world.
Jennifer WelchHOST
Saying the Teletubbies were gay was nuts.
Jennifer WelchHOST
Well, they kept...
Jennifer WelchHOST
It didn't matter what anybody said about them.
Jennifer WelchHOST
They kept focusing, they kept planning themselves more and more and more into the Republican Party, and then Jerry Falwell Jr. starts this Liberty University, and as a side hustle, he hired a pool boy to bang his wife while he masturbated in the corner and watched.
Jennifer WelchHOST
But if you attend Liberty University, you can't even hold your boyfriend or girlfriend's hand.
Kristin Kobes Du MezGUEST
And, uh, you can see, uh, the, the, this relationship between, um, heads of multi-level marketing companies and particularly the Republican Party, right, is a, is a theme throughout the book.
Kristin Kobes Du MezGUEST
And so, uh, a- and by the way, this predates the moral majority of Jerry Falwell Jr., right? That was something that if you read my chapter on multi-level marketing and the 1970s, what you see then is in, you know, in one room together, you've got, um, Rich DeVos, also Senator John Conlin, and people like Paul Weyrich and others, right, who are already scheming in the mid-1970s how to take America back, turn it into a Christian nation that was also, um, got rid of all, um, regulations on business, right? [laughs] Christian nation and free market, uh, capitalism unrestrained were one and the same for these folks, and how they came up with a strategy to influence Christian voters to vote for, you know, quote, "the right kind of Christians" in every congressional district across this country, right? So that business, right-wing politics, multi-level marketing money was connected, right, from the very start, and we can't really understand Christian nationalism today unless we keep this history in mind.
Kristin Kobes Du MezGUEST
So often, Christian nationalism or just the Christian right generally, people focus on family values.
Kristin Kobes Du MezGUEST
That doesn't get us all the way to understanding what they're after.
Rob ThompsonHOST
Well, we need one more.
Rob ThompsonHOST
Is, uh, Jerry Falwell? No, he's gone.
AJ HoffmanHOST
Jerry-
Rob ThompsonHOST
Jimmy Swaggart, is he still around? Joel Osteen.
AJ HoffmanHOST
Jimmy Swaggart died last year
Rob ThompsonHOST
Oh, we lost Jimmy.
AJ HoffmanHOST
Jerry Falwell Jr. still e- exists
Rob ThompsonHOST
What about Bob Tilton? Brother Bob Tilton, is he still around?
Jennifer WelchGUEST
This group of people are very easy to co-opt.
Jennifer WelchGUEST
So Jerry Falwell Jr. was able to be convinced by Michael Cohen, Trump's fixer-
Molly Jong-FastHOST
God
Jennifer WelchGUEST
... to deliver the evangelical vote to, for Donald Trump.
Molly Jong-FastHOST
Yeah.
Jennifer WelchGUEST
You know? So these people are very easily co-opted.
Molly Jong-FastHOST
co-opted.I f- when you were talking about, uh, the megachurches, and the evangelicals, and Jerry Falwell Jr., I ha- you reminded me of season one of this fiasco, which was a mere decade ago with Jerry Falwell.
Molly Jong-FastHOST
And you remember Jerry Falwell and the Junior and the pool boy? Remember that?
