TRANSCRIPT
 And we think about the image of the American lion, right? Getting back up on its feet. And this is, in fact, a Christian imagery that lions were seen to be a type of a symbol for the resurrection because people thought that lion cubs were born dead. And it was only through the breath of their mother that the lion was given life after it was born.

But the idea that also that the devil is Trump's political opponents is sort of another layer that's put on top of this.
