2026-03-17 Pastor Brooks Potteiger prayed for James Talarico’s death during a podcast. 2026-03-25 James Talarico responded to pastor Brooks Potteiger’s violent rhetoric, “Jesus loves. Christian Nationalism kills. You may pray for my death, Pastor, but I still love you. I love you more than you could ever hate me”.

Potteiger: ”…public enemies. These are the orcs at the gate. You’re not called to love the barbarian horde that is planning to break into your city and – you know – pillage, plunder, rape, and mutilate you and your people. You don’t love that horde. That is your enemy! And you pray! This is where you have imprecatory Psalms. This is where you pray strongly. The Psalmnist [not a word] is not shy. God, destroy them! Make them as dung on the ground…I pray that God kills him. Ultimately, that means killing his heart and raising him up to new life in Christ. That’s the first thing…”

Host: ”We want him crucified…with Christ..”

Potteiger: “That’s exactly right!”

Host: ”I want him to be I think Saul of Tarsus, Talarico of Tarsus. That’s what I want. Who would say I was holding the garments while they stoned Steven, and now I’m the – yeah – that’s, that’s what we want.”

Potteiger: “Yes. We want death and new life, right? Um, and if it would not be within God’s will to do so, stop him by any means necessary, oh God.”

2026-03-30 Trump publicly threatened to bomb desalination plants, electric plants and oil wells in Iran, which would be a war crime. When asked, Karoline Leavitt defended Trump, “Um, look – the president has made it quite clear to the Iranian regime at this moment in time as evidenced by the statement that you just read, that their best move is to make a deal – or else the United States armed forces has capabilities beyond their wildest imagination and the president is not afraid to use them…” When journalists pointed out war-crime concerns, Karoline Leavitt responded, “That’s not what I said, Garrett, and you’re saying the word potential for a reason, ‘cuz I’m sure some experts are telling you that in your ear to try to ask me that question. Of course, this administration and the United States armed forces will always act within the confines of the law, but with respect to achieving the full objectives of Operation Epic Fury, President Trump is going to move forward unabated, and he expected – expects – the Iranian regime to make a deal with the administration”.
