JD Vance says he's 'OK' if his work brings the biblical end times, and preaches America as a 'Christian nation' — after a religious journey that carried him from evangelical roots to atheist to Catholic convert in 2019. Meanwhile his $15-million patron, Peter Thiel, spent 2025 lecturing that the Antichrist arrives promising 'peace and safety' before relocating his own family to Argentina.

Moss (00:01) Hi there, my name is Moss, and you are here with Bite This. And this is a short-form pod that is my way of trying to get some sleep because I hear things in the news and I lose sleep at night because I'm a humanist that believes in planet Earth. And so this is my outlet, and that's how it works. this episode's called JD Vance.
God's messenger, the end of times, and serving the Lord. And it'll come clear why I called this that. but first of all I just wanna get everybody in the mood here. imagine that you're sitting in a pew in a church and and you just wandered in there. You're not you're not part of the of the parish at all. You just sit down and somebody starts telling you that you're in a Christian nation.
And you're like looking at them going, Well, I might have walked into a Christian church, but that doesn't mean I'm in a Christian nation. We are in America. America doesn't have a Christian nation. America has a nation and we're all here together. The other thing this person in this pews being told to believe is that J. D. Vance is a man of deep personal faith.
And so we're g gonna ask about that because we don't believe there's really a conviction there to trust at all. And if we can't trust somebody when they look you in the eye and say that they have deep personal religious faith, why are they in an office that can impact and affect literally three hundred million people?
Second victim here though is the country. there's a country called Argentina and it's already inside of of JD Vance's boss's hands. We're gonna talk about Peter Thiel in just a bit. But Argentina, now led by by a fascist government held by Malay, you know, the New York Times and News Nation.
reported that Teal bought a mansion there. he moved with family and the kids into a local school. He's there to protect his family because he knows they can't be protected in America. And he also knows that if he moves to a country that responds to money, he'll be able to turn that country into anything he wants. And he has very clear designs about how he wants this to work down there. But we're gonna get back to America now, right?
we're gonna mar we're gonna walk the harm in two parts. One is that this this sort of apocalypse is a mood right now. You know, when you get enough crazy religious people talking about their crazy religion, you can't hiccup near them without them telling you that you're changing society in ways that they don't disagree with and that they shouldn't have to live like you, hiccuping like you. Well, that's kind of what's going on right now. and and and it's inappropriate and
it America cannot survive it. Apocalypse is a mood. Bryce Crawford has a podcast. He brought the VP on and he got the VP in his own words to say, you know, if my role as God's messenger leads to the end of times, that's okay. As long as I believe I'm talking.
Through the Lord's wishes, then the end of times are the Lord's wishes was basically what he was saying. Same sit down, he said he would be shocked if the Antichrist if he wouldn't be shocked, I'm sorry, if the Antichrist was walking among us. I'm gonna ask you to put a pin in that 'cause we're gonna talk about that as it overlaps from Teal's craziness.
and then there's this idea that theocracy is an applause line, so if you can get enough red meat eating people to latch on and and foam at the mouths, it's something that you say, there's this sense that you're reaching people, right? But when you're only in a room of red meat eaters and you're throwing them red meat, you shouldn't be surprised. The only difference is that JD Vance is a shitty public speaker and nobody believes him because nothing he says sounds sincere.
Or is coming from a place of authenticity. So he's basically just spewing shit. And but in December 2025, he got his biggest applause ever by screaming at the top of his lungs that America is a Christian nation and that by the grace of God it always will be. So is he promising salvation? JD Vance? I thought only God could do that.
but he is promising closed borders and safe communities, good jobs and a dignified life. Put a pin in that. we're gonna get back to that those statements as well. But basically the states in the pulpit. This idea of separation of church and state, so that you know, church is something that we do, but the state is something that manages the well-being and welfare of everybody in the nation. That
was a promise in our constitutional founding documents and from our founding fathers. And it's being eroded at a rapid pace right now.
So let's talk about the actors in in the religious life of J. D. Vance. He started an evangelical Protestant. That was his upbringing. Then as a teen he went crazy and you know, rebellious and he did a Pentecostal sin. And these are the these are the weirdos that in church speak in tongue and basically talk about how everybody's talking through them.
And and that now they should be believed because Jesus has touched their vagina or whatever. I don't know what they say, but it's just crazy shit. And so he did that as a teen because he probably needed to break out from his family. and then he probably went to college. I don't know. He he did graduate from Yale, allegedly. But he he he sometime as late teen and college student, he described himself as an angry atheist, likely because he was talking to people who had free thought
and were exposed to real ideas and facts. But then in 2019, to time his ascension into the political ranks, he converted to Catholicism. so call that what you will but what I call it is that he found the God he's selling right alongside his ambition and right alongside the timing that drove it.
He said a lot of shitty things about Trump that I actually agree with. but they're not things that you t say about a future boss without them getting recorded. And they all were. So he called them a culture he called Trump cultural heroine, he called him America's Hitler, he called him a cynical asshole like Nixon. He called himself a never Trump guy, who never liked him. But then of course, in twenty twenty five, when pressed up against all this stuff and realizing he had to
rewrite that history. He's quoted as saying in Diary of a CEO in twenty twenty five that he was almost embarrassed that he wrote it because it was so obviously absurd. Those things that he said. So the converted converts again and again and again, depending on what he wants to say, depending on where he wants to go. So my read here named God, party, verdict on Trump, all swapped right when swapping served as climb.
Tell isn't the growth, it's the sermon that sits and simmers on top of it, makes it all sound right.
But here's where these pins come into play. The hand up his back is this guy named Peter Teal. Peter Teal's this gay guy. I'm gay, so I'm I don't mean that in a bad way, but Peter Teal's this gay guy who probably was very hurt as a young little boy. And and and that's not why he's gay, but it's certainly why he's so hell bent on screwing the planet. He bankrolled his twenty he bankrolled JD Vance's twenty twenty two Ohio Senate run.
by giving a fifteen million dollar donation, the biggest single Senate donation of the time. He gave him his first VC job, all the intros, he bought his seat. This is all documented. It's not alleged. I'm not making this shit up. But what does this guy believe this Peter Thiel? Well in twenty twenty five he did a private lecture series called The Antichrist, where he talks about the Antichrist rising, talking nonstop about Armageddon.
He's he's saying that the antichrist is gonna promise peace and safety. And then quotes, you know, one Thessalonians five colon three, which I guess is a Bible passage. the catastrophe warners, they're these guys' helpers. So the Republican Party and J.D. Vance, they're all talking about how Democrats are here to spread communism, which will be the end of the world. Well
That is the Antichrist as named. And what's so humiliating to me is that this little bitch gets called out by Teal by Teal pushing him into his own craziness, right? Teal says the Antichrist wins on peace and safety. And then he marches Vance out on stage where Vance promises safe communities.
And he does this all when he shrugs that the end of the times are okay as long as he's talking about God while it happens. So my read here named, He's not freelancing a theology as a man of deep faith. He's reciting his donors, and his donor is a freak.
And again, while lecturing on Armageddon, Teal bought this mansion in Buenos Aires. He's down there to shape that government with his money. He's a doomsayer with an exit plan, and he took it. He took it.
This is it, right? And this is where I'm gonna stop the pod here today. We've got a vice president who is non charismatic, who's a whore, who is bought and paid for, and who is sitting there believing he is going to be the heir apparent of Trump's legacy. And if we're going to get religious and say things like By the grace of God, if there is a God
And if that God has any grace, that God will begin to speak through these people with a real humanist voice that sounds a lot more like the Jesus that they claim to worship. We all belong here. We can live side by side, we can have differences and not hate each other.
It doesn't work to say that we are a Christian nation because we're not.
