I'm safe sink to five fill the Holy Ghost and that would have burned in fire You know I'm saying Convert and backed it so nothing's really changed. That's great. That's great. It doesn't doesn't get any better than that I was being interviewed tonight before this show on another show and Then they were just talking about we were talking about politics getting involved in politics I think about politics how to handle criticism in politics, you know all that stuff and You know one of the things That you know where we're we love our election night shows. I think they're pretty fun But like we don't trust in chariots. We don't we don't trust in horses. We don't trust and we trust in God and And this doesn't mean we're not stick. This doesn't mean we don't participate. This doesn't mean we black pill and think it's not in our control at all But no matter what the outcome is tonight. We know Jesus King. We know he's in heaven sent to the right hand of God the Father and that We aren't our emotions aren't tied to Human outcomes our motions are tied to the Lord our Lord. Thank you very much. I appreciate it I need where's that person for me? I need somebody to bring me no, no, no You're producer over there's your your your your sister your daughter. Excuse me. Your daughter your son. Yeah Are you what studio are you in I'm a mr. Reese's studio. Oh nice nice. Yeah, yeah, is that you built that one? I mean not built in me You gave advice you a advisory on that studio it's lights in a camera. What are you doing? Building in some bookshelf like what do you build them? Yeah, nothing. Yeah, does he got it? Does he got feed my lambs on that bookshelf? He's racist. He want to come in the show at some point. No, he's not gonna be able to make the show I think that would have been nice, but no, he's not gonna be able to make it. I was so one of the things that I think is important as you were Talking about being involved in politics. I absolutely you know, it's funny like you think about it Last ten years a lot more people who are reformed and who are Christians even have become aware of how much a Politics plays a part in their life and so that it's they need to be involved and part of the reason for that is because most of the time We felt like hey, we've got more important things to do than actually engage with the civil issues But that's the bramble bush mentality But it's because you have so much that you have to do that you must engage in these now It's not an attempt to think like oh if if this is actually where all the power is It's not where all the power is but it's one of the areas that we've neglected to engage with because we's like Oh, we're so busy. We have other things to do What's happening right now? I think is that everybody is running the politics as a way to control everybody else because they want something and they want someone They want power unified under a lever in which they can move everything right and so Christians we don't believe that we don't believe that politics is where all the power is we believe in Four governments right we believe in self-government you have power right now to exercise all the things you want to exercise About yourself you have power over your family to be able to to communicate laws and standards and ways of operation that change society because the house is the incubator by which everything else exists You don't have civil government you don't have church government apart from people being made and developed in the family and approved By the family that allows them to be able to hold those offices and so like we don't and we don't believe in just one Government or in one area of power But Christians for far too long have stopped exercising and let things gone adrift inside of the civil government that and we and we've lost all the ability actually control our own family so we don't have power there We don't have power in the church because we don't believe in A biblical liturgy anymore. We're in real biblical worship so we lost all the power there We don't have any self-government whatsoever and so we've lost all the power there And so now what we do is we run and we say hey if we can get to the the arms of a civil government since they have guns They have all the power than what we can do now is we can have the power to make people obey and it's like That is not what we're trying to do We're trying to be people who are responsible over the things that God has given us so that we're good stewards so that we can manage them well And and so like there's this one of the things I really enjoyed about working for mr. Reese is that he's got this He's he's a Puritan so Puritan's have list and list just They have list everything of the list list of categories right, but this is a good category and and when you are a servant of God You owe God for things you owe him care for What it is that he's giving you right and to care for things you owe him obedience You own accountability of what it is that he's giving you and you owe him loyalty and so it doesn't matter and whatever you're touching You have a responsibility to all of that and all those areas of government right You know One of things. Oh, yes, I got a That wrote is going these are fishermen friends He's an intern that we brought on when you left he wouldn't I want to work here. He wouldn't work here while you were here Yeah, I want to fire you bring me here. I don't know I guess as soon as you left you like hey, man. Can I help you guys? It's really weird to see just an arm come out of nowhere and just When I was interviewed earlier today The the guys asked me You know What is your political theology or how do you get political theology? No, the question was something like how does the reformed theology get to political theology? and And one of one of the things I said I said two things I said Reformed theology is The only way you can really get political theology you can't get I'm sorry my Baptist brothers. You can't really get Political theology out of the Baptist can start to get there But the reason why Reformed theology for a number of reasons historically theological depth tradition of Reformation revival against the Catholic Church stuff like this But the basic reason you can't have political theology without a theology of covenant children ultimately Right all all political theology ends up With what is your view of children in the church? And I think That that is And I think that's one of the things in our culture you're constantly seeing the battles always over your kids The battles always over abortion the battles always over Protecting and you know, trains in your kid. I mean culture gets it. They have a theology of children Which is what drives political theology? Explain that out for me walk walk me out from how the way you view your kids has a theology that has to do with the Politics how does how do those two things connect because I think most people are gonna hear them be like wait a second I don't know what that has to do with TN Texas on a Tuesday as it relates to you know Because how you view your kids has everything to do with what kind of Policies you're gonna vote for You know if if and this is I mean you see the chasm between leftists pro-choice abortion leftists and Christian conservatives you see the chasm already there at that level And they've understood it's always a battle over the children With education that's why they run education now they get they grabbed and they conquered all the Areas of main areas of influence from media journalism to education and so forth because it's a constant fight over the kids conservatives are the only people That don't really quite understand that politics is constantly a battle over the kids and so What when you start When you start receiving your kid as part of the covenant promises of God You start voting differently You start thinking about life differently you start thinking about discipleship differently And it it changes everything about what you think about political theology Here I gotta I gotta text them you you you talk for a second I gotta I gotta communicate here first thing I got plenty to say on that because you know But I think we have Greg here so Greg's in here I'm gonna bring Greg in and I'm gonna see if he has something to say first because I want to know how I want to know if he agrees with you And how to get to a political theology. Hey, noxel. Little quick forebring Greg in let's walk through the schedule whatever we can expect tonight So Greg outside of great coming on. Oh, yeah, yeah, you do do I see you the show notes Um, yeah, yeah, that's yeah, it hurts my shoulders a little bit We got Greg and Robert Bortons who gonna join us for most of the show. Yeah, right we got Seth Tweedle from uh Florida he's gonna come on at about six specific time which would be nine Florida time and then we got Brent money from Texas coming on He's Brent he's gonna be we got to walk around He's gotta go on stage for one of the elections in Texas. Um, so we're just gonna work around him Um, we got I'm trying to get someone from Missouri to come on because Missouri has got amendment three Which is a good amendment basically overturning the borsan laws of Missouri Um, uh, we might have Sean Davis from the federalists come in but he's also got some things we might have him come in uh, Blaine, Kanzadi Uh, Colton Bennett and then maybe Dorothy moon might come in she's our chair of the Republican party here in Idaho because Idaho's got some big races and stuff going on Now the focus um Well actually let's bring Greg in and I'll kind of go through some of the hot states and all that stuff and that's great place to To bring Greg in Uh, Greg Moore want you come and join us on the show brother man It's always great to do an election show with my boy from dead man walking Hey, what's going on guys? I was having fun listening to you talk Oh, so you got to hear a little bit of our talk on political theology Absolutely just want to Show everyone in this in the shot here rocking the original fight left feast uh magazine that's gonna be He far I know I know it digital, but you know, I got one of the ones you know the physical ones there Let's go down guys Not much man house uh you just got done with the county commissioner meeting tonight. I did yeah in a closed session negotiating union contracts How fun oh, I'm not gonna I can say so much right now to get you in trouble, bro. I'm not gonna I'm not going to do it so bad Yeah, I'm not going to do it Greg Okay, so uh and house man house dead man walking been going have you been doing a lot of shows or you know where you at with uh What you doing dead man walking? Oh, yeah, still putting out one a week You still find on the pub TV app and through your guys's channel appreciate that love um and still having interesting guests son Uh, you know talking about all kinds of stuff. What's up by the guy to know? Did you hear Gabe talking about political theology and he was asked like how to where do we get our political theology at what was your answer to that? I just say John Knox Come on now Come on now. What else do we need? You know what he was saying about children is absolutely right though. I mean You know satan sees the first few commandments that uh god gives humans and he goes let's attack that how can we How can we stop from pro creating? We put forth the abortion agenda. We put forth the homosexual agenda. We put forth the trans agenda We make it a culture of death and you're absolutely right gay boys when you said the culture gets it They know they think generationally. How are we not thinking generationally? And I say we i'm not including you two in that I'm saying the greater western church doesn't think generationally and we're just now starting to wake up But I think uh, yeah, you you're political theology boy Do we stand on shoulders of giants when we look at what happened in the reformation and in some of the ways they thought And it's so sad to see that we've lost that as a greater evangelical church here in America Um, so let me go through here's kind of some hot races to pay attention to tonight on what's going on Um, so for senate we're talking senate race here Um, Iowa actually has a tight senate race between uh jostrach Democrat and ashley hinson republican. They're titan pulling a south carolina, which is just um Apparently, I don't believe any of the polls. We'll talk about that in a minute But apparently south carolina has tight race between democrat anti-andrues and uh Lindsey Graham's sister Um, apparently they're about a point apart South carolina um Alaska. I don't really care about Alaska um Because they they do what is it what's it called uh Greg and laska the voting they do runoff voting ranked to rank choice vote ranked choice runoff voting. Yeah It's the dumbest thing ever um Although they did have that interesting uh, you know the democrats go out recruit someone with the same name I like that. I remind me of that uh any murphy. Well, really that's a little That's the general vote with the name you know Yes, certainly that's illegal to put two of the same names on the ballot Um, yes it is and they still and they still did we do not care We do not care Nebraska nox you remember this we interviewed us uh governor Pete ricketts back in the day. Well he's Yes, senator now. Um, he's running against dan austin and he's the incumbent um, he's likely to win But it's still like um apparently he's pulling with plus one or to plus three um in Nebraska so not the close race um It's probably running against a third party candidate with probably the best uh, name ever mic marvin from the legal marijuana now party So I think there were Three or four votes. I didn't know that amazing James telefrico Is running against compacts in in texas There's the polls. I'm looking at are saying telerico's up plus three now I got so much to say about this Hey, I think robber's here It's Robert in bring him in bring him in he's supposed to be in he's supposed to be in right now with us too before we bring him What up? Yeah, it's important thanks for joining our uh our our live election live show tonight Cross-Politic always good to have you in Robert's one of the guys that we have kind of mostly throughout the whole show along with our boy great from Michigan How's it going Robert? Ah, it's uh not I'm doing fine The Republicans aren't Is that your position? You know he's seen some things what have you seen already? Yeah, I mean it looks like Anything that's our plus 12 districts in play in the house Wow, so anything trumped one by 12 points could could fall to the Democrats Yeah, so it's gonna be tough for us to hold the Senate. So this blowback is real for irane Yep Interesting you got yeah, I don't I don't know if you guys are seeing two in texas They got four million votes in and they got telerico up 59% to 38% right now Land Texas, let me see this Wow Yeah So uh looks like But that could be and they just counted Houston that's it I mean it's a long night, but he's out ahead a little bit early And then it's gonna be a bloodbath in Michigan for us here You think so? I mean if you was already up If you were to be up 55% over microaggers I you know look at their they're coming If so it's gonna be very very close they had them up four five six points in different polls a week ago He's trending eight or nine points up right now, but I mean that's early voting and you got to realize Wayne County gets there's in pretty quickly and that's where deer borne is These are largest population of Muslims in the United States So some of this is gonna be skewed, but it's gonna be really tight because you got to realize Republicans You know true conservative Republicans they they thumb their nose at microaggers He was the architect of the Patriot Act as a as a congressman I mean he's pretty middle of the road establishment. I'm sure he'd put his you know his weight behind whatever Trump wants to do on foreign policy If it's invading another country he loves that kind of stuff. So You know you're going with a squishy middle of the road Republican with a very far left Democrat in that race. I went well that that's about that's about a toss up because there's gonna be some Republicans that just go Yeah, I can't do microaggers round two Wow I'll do the same and I think this applies to kind of most races right now But like Texas Texas got James Tallerico going against Ken Paxton James Tallerico is obviously a leftist pro-choice Happy to medilate kids genitals and trans and all that stuff And you got Ken Paxton who's an adulterer and I'm pretty corrupt politician. I get friends who are all in that inner circle um in in Texas and It's amazing to me that and I think this is God's judgment on Texas in a lot of ways where you are That Tallerico even has a chance To win in Texas should embarrass the Republican party Now you guys have discipled you've controlled Texas for so long in so many ways and and you basically Discipled a populace That is starting to reject you and vote for guys like Tallerico And then of course you platform Ken Paxton is in he's kind of the best that you he's better than John Corrin That's for sure John Corrin um Couldn't stand that guy um But this is where Texas is at and I think a lot of you know talking about Michigan Greg You got a full-on Muslim who was supportive of the bruh Muslim brotherhood supportive of the care network supportive of all these honestly You know Muslim soft terrorist organizations And he's about to win he could potentially win Michigan Even the fact that he's even close to winning Michigan if he doesn't win even if he's close to it It should be like a rope like wake up pox on your head kind of thing Well our our like court here in Michigan is just insane anyway I mean look look who we voted for for governor two terms She killed and murdered all kinds of seniors You know her husband was getting his boat out during covid when we couldn't buy seeds at home depot Put her in a second term the governors race right now jocelyn Benson she's in the lead She's been in lawsuits for all eight years You know deleting files and sending out ballots to unregistered voters and She's beating john james right now. So the electorate in general in in Michigan is upside down I'm not sure what's going on. We've been called a purple state I don't know if going on 10 or 15 years now, but I think we're clearly in the blue now I saw something that Abdul was running about eight points behind the Democrat run for governor Yeah, so I think Rodgers has a decent chance of picking that up, but that would probably be the only Republican flip Okay Do you guys think that people are voting Out of anger to the Republicans or because they are just so happy for what the Democrats are bringing to the table No, they just I mean I think two things they just feel betrayed by trump the Epstein Thing is huge. I talked to You know people inside the trump organization and they just didn't even understand it a year and a half ago Where I was trying to say why is this Epstein stuff coming out so long? They're like who cares about Epstein Like we got other things to worry about And then the war in Iran, you know, whether he said it or not people believe that trump said no new wars And now we were in war so they they wanted trump to destroy the Yes, the corruption in DC and drain the swamp And instead, you know perception is he's not doing that and I think Epstein was kind of just that idea of Of destroying the swamp and when you're not even gonna gonna prosecute a pedophile then what else are you doing? So and Greg I'm gonna come to you and just imagine on that but I want to know so then do you think that Because I think it's like this 30% Democrat 40% Republican into this 30% gooey middle that can be moved back and forth Do you think this is the Sold out Republicans that are filling this way or they get that just that 30% in the middle? I mean, I think it's the Republicans. I mean in florida you've got about 10% of Republicans voting for the Democrat nominees in the Senate and in the governorship Well, and then I mean the middle swung a lot. I mean the middle is worse than bushes In08 when Obama took over. I mean there it was like a 30 point swing So you get 30% of the vote, you know before was going 10% to trump now it's going 20% to the Democrats I mean, that's 15 points right there and There's turnout there's not a lot of turnout on the Republican party are they actually swinging or just not voting The independence are swinging um and the Republicans aren't voting Okay Greg Yeah, it's apps. I mean he's right. It's absolutely a combination of the two and in a midterm historically you need an energized base If you they're on a hold power or flip and I don't know if it's so much as the Democrats are energized It's the base of the Republican party are are a little Well, I mean there lacks a daisicle just because of the points that he made I mean you look at the the Iran war look at when you make bold promises people get excited in the behind you If you don't follow through on those promises it falls away just as quickly So it's a double edged sword when you have that kind of excitement behind trump and going okay We're gonna drain the swamp no more wars. We're gonna release the Epstein files bind didn't do it for years And then those things don't materialize you have Republicans either staying home Or just not voting down ticket on these other ones that have trump support And that's a that's a double punch man when when you have when you're historically in a midterm That you have to have an energized base and then people stay home or don't vote And then you also have the Democrats going okay, well, let's just stick it to him. Let's see how far left we can go I mean, that's that's tough to overcome so I'm I'm in total agreement with him So with that said I guess my next question would be do you think that JD Van should sit the next election out? Are we gonna get a Democrat president coming up in the next two years? I think it's gonna be very tough for him to to win I just do especially if you're looking at under 30s in the next election and you guys are going through this we're in this whole mix even sometimes We get stuck in our little reformed Christian world Christian nationalism right far right far left all that But you talk to a secular under 30 And they're talking kind of about the same things that the reformed writer talking about and they're going okay We need someone to blame whether that be an ethnic group whether that be a political party whatever it is And if JD Vance doesn't take a hard right I think he's he's going because here's the thing if you're under 30 There's a lot of far left and far right young kids. I say young kids I'm 45 so anything any one under 30 is young to be now There are green on a lot of things And you're going where did we see this happen and every every political analyst will tell you well It's the circle right if you go far it's not a straight line you go far left far right You start agreeing on some political things and that's gonna be the fight for the under 30s in the next election And I don't know if JD Vance can can grab those plus I'm not a big fan of JD Vance He's a chameleon he's everything I hated about politicians He's got three different names. He hated Trump. He loves Trump. He hates Trump. Now. He loves Trump It's like I don't know man Let your yes be your yes and your no be your no a man without self-control is a city without walls like you're being tossed too and fro with your thoughts I'm very cautious right everyone can change everyone can come through on their promises I'm just saying at this stage. I'm even cautious of the Vance and I'm an older guy who should support him Yes, I think I want to hear you take on JD Vance. So JD Vance is the most popular Republican Right now still like But he's being dragged down by Trump and what the war is doing and things like that. So I mean he has that Midwest roots. So I mean, I think he's You know gonna be I think he'll run and he'll be a good candidate from pole marker rubio has no desire to run So I'm not expecting him to put his hat in I will say that tonight's results probably give Ron DeSantis his way back into the Republican nomination. Oh, that's interesting. I thought he committed career suicide Primering or running against Trump the last election But very clearly Florida has been well run under DeSantis and Trump's policies have you know not produce good results At least election wise In the short term for America. I do believe Long term Trump has done a lot to drain the swamp and to set us up on a good trajectory going forward for our country, but a lot of these things take a decade to really see the results Yeah, great What um One of our listeners in the chat made the point or is asking you know a lot of people have been saying You know, I'm not voting I'm upset with Trump Or I'm upset with Ken Paxson or I'm upset upset with this guy and so I'm gonna vote for the Democrat You know I can I can see being like I'm not voting for let's say Ken Paxon Or Brad little or Brad little Which I'm not which I put my uh My voters guide But what I can't see is like okay, so I'm gonna vote for James Tallerico Um, I feel like like you blackpilled so hard You went the other way you know Yeah, for for a lack of a better term that's retarded That's the most stupid political theory you could have right if every single person voted for the did their research and voted for the actual best person that they thought would represent their views This would be a different country None of this lesser of two evils vote for the other team to show my team You know, what's up? That's that's dumb We're supposed to be an educated electorate that we go in and we say you know what? It's not the Republican or the Democrat It's actually the US Constitution Party candidate that most represents How I think this country should be ran and you vote that but very few third party fourth party candidates get that Because we're a two-party system and we play those political games. It's stupid Yeah, early um polls showed that if the Democrats had a blue wave That the majority of Democrat voters Including moderates think that they need to run more ds a tight candidates and more radical leftists in the upcoming elections Um, so No, that was the Democrats conclusion that they need to go farther left And we do see a blue wave forming maybe even a tsunami at this point We'll see what ends up happening um, but Yeah, I mean, it's gonna the 2028's gonna be a different beast though because it's a presidential election Nothing's gonna get done between now and then um, you know the Democrats aren't gonna get any rules sort of laws passed you know So it really gonna be just two years of standing off we can expect two trillion dollar plus deficits inflation sitting at three and a half percent Uh plus or minus a few percentage points going forward um, so yeah, it's gonna be uh, you know, and the problem is you got middle people like judges like in North Carolina We have judges that serve eight years Because of the bad turnout. They're probably gonna be liberal judges, which are going to release criminals early Right, so now our streets are gonna be less safe in North Carolina And so people who sit out these races There are good people that you want in office that are now not getting your vote. So If you're gonna, you know, don't like who's at the top of the ticket. You're punishing Good people that you want leading uh in the middle and bottom of the ticket And you're gonna start seeing that those local races which actually oftentimes affect your life more Um are not turning out how you want into them and so you're punishing yourself In the in the long run Pasitobi welcome in i saw i saw you removing line over there with pasta Wilson I was watching yeah Yeah, I was uh, I was doing the dug and friends thing for a little while and then I grabbed some dinner really fast And here I am And I walked in and the first thing I heard was if you're not gonna prosecute a pedophile What good are you? Something like that And I just felt like i mean what a what a welcome I mean i feel like you know you could have said hi robert or something like that But it's that you know you're saying things like that come in hard Well, so one of the things is is trump wanted everyone to tell him what good things they were doing in the White House And so for the last two years always always been reporting to him is all the good things and not any of the challenges Yeah, and so um he's very disconnected Uh from the american people You know, obviously the loss of Charlie Kirk. I was a huge blow Uh, he probably could have course corrected him on some of these things uh, but ultimately uh, you know other Advisors got his ear and they gave him terrible advice If I could just jump back really quick to what he was talking about you know how earlier you said what your political theology and I just said John Uh, Greg Oh, am I there? Hello No, I still hear Greg It's just it's just ironical because he says you know you have all these down ballot if you don't vote All these down ballot uh candidates that that are good candidates that don't get your vote You know john nox talked all the time about the lesser magistrates keeping the higher magistrates from restraining tyranny and evil And how important the vote of the lesser magistrate was so You know when I when I see john nox, I've seen down to that. This isn't a new problem He was talking about this 500 years ago Uh that he and he based that on Romans 13 Uh, so yeah very important for those for those down ballot candidates for for you to vote I'm looking at uh Um, Texas right now with with 40% reporting in Texas Long way to go James Salariko's up 60% 2,400,000 votes to 1.6 million votes On kimp accent if taleriko Get selected in Texas I want every Republican to step down from office It's like you guys have discipled and created the kind of conditions where things got so bad that taleriko like the the citizens texture like I'm fed up with I'm done. I'm going for taleriko. That's how bad things have gotten in Texas Now very quickly. I don't really I'm guessing the makeup here But most of that reporting is out of Houston, San Antonio and Fort Worth are those three big pretty Uh, Democrats at the city. Yeah, uh, Fort Worth would be a little closer, but yes, um, it's yeah they're all largely democratic on clips That that's might might be why we're seeing that 20 point difference too Hey Gabe you got you got Seth and Brent out in the waiting room right now. Yeah, let's bring Seth in My dude Thanks for joining us from Florida, man If you guys don't know the set this he's pastor of what church Grace community church Grace mini church and he had to go find internet because his house electricity was done It sounds like like a thousand year Like record flooding in Melbourne, Palm Bay, Florida here where we're at so I lost uh I lost power in my house.

Yeah, so it looks like we we're we're doing well on the governor or the set the the senate attorney general chief financial officer All the big seats, but where we're lacking is the uh state house and the senate seats Um, we're kind of getting destroyed I think a little bit uh, but What happened was Florida was really divided in the primary uh, not Byron was not everyone's first choice And it's really divided a lot of the Republican Party as well We've got a lot of Republicans for jolly coming up that um have been pushing To try to gridlock the state of Florida um, and it's been a little bit of a mess So we're still um keeping our own what the seats are looking like um anything to add Jason Yeah, I mean, yeah, I think you guys probably been talking about already the failures the Trump administration Is low for worried and all the things that he's sailing in the voters low Low enthusiasm amongst his base. So I mean that's certainly a factor here in Florida Sanctus one with sixty percent of the vote For governor's last race of course, he's terminated out. He's still I speak a little louder Jason speak a little louder. Yeah, can you hear me if the Santa said one if the Sanctus was running You know, he would win easily, right? So he won with sixty percent four years ago And now this race is is neck and neck, you know, so Clearly, you know, the enthusiasm has dropped the Trump administration So it's not here to just the democrats were that popular Well, so tell me why people didn't like um, uh, Byron He he was so there's a whole backstory here, but you know, DeSantis and Trump have got a feud, right So he was the chief of staff for Trump administration. She Eat that might for me brother. Yeah, she's had it. She has been a a Enemy of DeSantis for a long time her and DeSantis have had a huge feud for a long time And so she so DeSantis was teeing up his wife to run for hit for for his the next term here And uh, you know, he's terminated out. So Casey DeSantis was going was was being set up to run. She got breast cancer two years ago Delayed her getting into the race Suzy Wiles Trump's chief of staff who hates Ron DeSantis She came in and she hampered by her and Donald's got five million dollars in the bank former at the gate And got a Trump endorsement to undercut Ron DeSantis So DeSantis has never been close with Donald's and sadly Donald's raised a hundred million dollars in his run He sort of just got cold shoulder with his base, you know He didn't really meet with the grassroots. He didn't meet with prolet organizations didn't meet with With his base. He didn't do a debate didn't do one single debate with the uh other candidates And so he just kind of he got a lot of money in the bank and he just kind of you know He's kind of the establishment pick and we had a very divided primary We had Jay Collins who's the lieutenant lieutenant governor currently running for governor We also had a pastor Bobby Williams running for governor We had Paul Renter who was the former speaker of the house running for governor We had some some solid candidates running James Fishback especially too pulling a lot of the the young guys Boats coming up and so the primary was very contentious And Byron wouldn't debate one time and he was kind of the establishment's pick and it was like Turning point back dim Trump backed him like from from the get go and so Kind of like trying to cram it down for to stroat and everyone felt like they didn't have a choice in the matter But then after Byron was really winning the primary Everyone kind of just lost interest because their guy wasn't doe winning Especially the young the young folks, you know They've been trying to gridlock the state of Florida with the almost almost throwing a fit if I didn't get my way That I'm just not going to vote anyway and then we even had people like Bobby Williams who switched This pastor who's so-called pro-life and others he switched and started doing Republicans for Jolly And we've had a lot of people running running for from the Republican ticket to back David Jolly The Democrat there and Wow Yeah, I want to bring in uh Brent money because he's he's gonna report on Texas. I want to bring Texas in you guys stay on Um, let's bring Brent in I don't know how long Brent can be with us Hey Brent Hey, how are you doing gentlemen? No, the question is brother. How are you doing? Um, my race is very safe, uh, but Texas is looking pretty bleak right now Um now I'll tell you it was always expected that we would be down early in the evening Um, because Democrats are very energized and vote early more than We're getting very good connection from your your audio man your audio's in the low your audience. All right You're on your audio's in the out Brent All right, can you hear me better now? Yeah, I'm hearing you great. All right Um, we always expected there to be a An early surge for Democrats because the big cities come in first Democrats early vote more than Republicans But we're way farther behind than we expected to be at this point for sure. Oh You're out Brent Yeah, I can't hear you buddy Okay, I'm Hey guys, I think it's on your end. I'm here and Brent just fine. I can hear him just fine Yeah, yeah, everybody else I think is here and Brent just fine. It's our internet. Our internet. That's not good. Oh, okay I'm not getting any more. I can't get a save for my Don't listen Yeah, so um, you know, I don't have like a whole bunch of of insight yet but You know, we were coming into it thinking you know if you'd asked me a couple hours ago. I would have said Man 50 50 on packs and winning but I think everybody else is safe and right now I'm not sure anybody statewide is safe in Texas Wow What what happened Um, there's a lot of different headwinds hitting us all at once and uh, you know I hope we're not you know doing a you know kind of a post-mortem here yet and and that we still have a lot of time left in the evening But we got a lot of things working against this obviously like everywhere Trump's popularity and the economy is is a struggle Both with within the party and outside of it You know, you got people that think in immigration enforcement has been too much people who think immigration enforcement has been not enough You got people who um, you know, I mean gas prices are are always an issue grocery prices things like that no matter who's in office And so you get just that natural noise, but then in Texas we've had the same two people at the top of the ticket Um with our governor and lieutenant governor now running for unprecedented fourth terms Um, so it's really hard to say Well, we're gonna fix it this time You know when people it works great to run for a fourth time if everything's great, but it's tough when it's not um Paxton although I love him and I think he's been a fantastic attorney general, you know, he's been a Not a great candidate on um some in some ways Um, it's just I think if you pulled everybody that that voted not Republican They would there would be a lot of different reasons for it. I don't think it's any one thing Um, it's just a lot of different things Okay, can I this is this is really fascinating me. I don't know how to frame this so you guys might have to help me but Something I don't understand the psyche of the voters at all be obviously, but When you know that Democrats are the kind of people that want to absolutely overtax you Take your money put penalties on the rich if you get rich um Also want to kill little babies in the womb Like I get that Republicans aren't the best guys in the world don't get me wrong I don't I get to not but when I look at my options at the end of the day and I look at these guys versus these guys I mean, yeah, I mean I know which beast I'd rather be fighting and I have no yeah, yes Nox you're you're assuming that people are thinking about long-term consequences People are not thinking about long-term consequences This this is all about this is um giving a middle finger To people that are not doing what they want So to cut off cut your nose off despite your face. Oh, yeah, but they absolutely yeah There we have we have a great number of people who are mostly disengaged in the in the political process all the time anyway And then they just jump on whatever wave is happening um like Like Toby said, you know people just wanting to send a message as if that's a you know election is a good time to send a message Um people who don't understand any or don't even have any kind of political philosophy or understanding um, you know, and so I've talked with people are like yeah, but I mean you don't care about poor people You don't care about immigrants. You don't care. I mean I'm talking about Christian people people to go to church And it's like no, no, no, no, I just think that's not the state's role You know, uh, you're you're you're missing it now people who say well Pakistan has problems in his personal life So he's not great either or Trump has problems in his personal life I can't vote for him either and it's like right But they're advocating for the policies that will allow you to still raise your children In the fear and admonition of the Lord And you have Talleriko literally saying in testimony in the Texas house that he thinks it is child abuse to not For a parent to tell their child that they are you know that they that they are the gender that they that that God created them to be Or to deny that child what you know gender affirming care and and I talked with a guy who's an elder in a Uh or has been an elder in a church that I very much respect a guy who was a big part of Of discipling me as a youngster and uh, he's like well, I just don't believe that stuff I don't think he actually Talleriko actually believes that It's like well, but he's Live on camera in the Texas house. This is not like a AI creation Um, but people people are in their own little bubbles. They they see the things they that the algorithm wants them to see the they seek out the things that That confirm their priors and that's what you end up with is it's just really hard For average voters to break through the noise and uh, it just everybody's bad. So I'm gonna vote for the cool new guy Is voting closed in Texas yet Yes voting has closed in Texas So here's you know, right now in Texas he got Uh 42% reporting um basically so the numbers haven't really changed with James Telleriko and Kimpaxon still similar Um percentages the governor the governor's um is something I'm Surprised with right now be with about 42% important. This uh, um reporting the democrat is uh 55% to Greg Abbott's 42% that's a that's a wider gap than the Telleriko thing Um, yeah, that's surprising go ahead Oh another another headwind that I didn't even talk about that I I mean I'm a big school choice proponent um Greg Abbott went all in on on school choice I'm glad that he did um, but I know a lot of teachers who go to church who are Christian teachers Who are like well because? Abbott you know pushed for Christian kids to be able to take um, you know their money and put it in In uh Christian education for their kids. He's trying to destroy public schools. So I'm voting for Gina Hanna-Hossa who is a Uh, you know a pro abortion pro LGBT Um pro income tax Um, you know pro I mean she's she's one of I think the five or ten most liberal Um democrats in the Texas house and uh and they're voting for that Um because of public schools, you know to save public schools um, it's just uh A lot of uh, misinformed and uh Anyway, it's if it ends up like this. It's very sad Yeah, you know This is These people just six years ago. I mean talk about having short memories these people are the same people who were trying to kill you six years ago They killed your parents and grandparents They're the one that told you That getting sunlight and getting daylight would be the thing that would be really bad And if you were out in front of in public and standing six feet apart was actually good like Like have we forgotten who we're dealing with here for a moment These people are insane and that that's why I get it. I know there's problems on the right I'm I get that but here's the deal I would much rather be tied up in the back of the vehicle on the right and get out and fight those guys But because in the other side We're already off the cliff. We're dead. There's there's no way forward there No Georgia just elected uh Keisha Lance bottoms to be governor And last time she was an elected official she burnt down Atlanta So currently uh very uh Very short memories among those Atlanta right here. I'm a republic. They got something for you go get it You know Nox you put that on nox you're talking though like The any of this makes sense Yeah, well, I mean like we like the issue here like like we we we kill babies Like that like that's that's what our nation does yeah Like so like we're we're we are you can't reason with people And and and explain to them, you know, this is what socialism did. This is what communism did This is what they did during COVID like that like you're you're assuming that they can think coherently Um, but when you when you live in a country Um that is so far down like I I agree that like I I'm cheering everybody on who will give me another minute Uh with my kids another minute to preach the gospel another minute to start another Christian school Another minute to start another business. I agree with the plan of the church. Yeah, but but you but it's like We have to recognize this is this is all triage This is all triage like there's like you know, there's there's the there's an exceptional politician here and there um, you know Brent being one of them um and and others that you know that that know the Lord Jesus Our thinking and straight lines are trying to um take um the the policy decisions and submit them to the word of God And there are some voters that you can actually you know, you can talk to and you can explain and and and they can they can think in a straight line But I think you have to recognize that we live in a land in which the vast majority of voters cannot think in a straight line And this is a Romans one thing Yes, we've gone insane There foolish hearts have been darkened and And and professing themselves to be wise they've become fools And they cannot think in a straight line and you cannot explain it to them. It's like trying to reason with a drunk I just Go ahead. No, I'm sorry I completely agree and we also have we have to try You know um and we try not just during election season But year round all the time We can't just disciple people in the six weeks before elections go ahead. I'm sorry You're right Oh, no, you're fine. I just wanted to say Toby's point is right on one of the advantages I have is a locally elected official Is I talked to hundreds of constituents and I come across people who truly believe in these things in their basis For morality is murder right so They in in the odd thing is is you've guys have been talking about this for almost a decade on cross-polite Like when you remove God, right? The state becomes God and then on top of that they have a skewed subjective morality I had a guy at one of my county commissioner meetings tonight That's where I came from before I came on here and he wanted the the county board to take some of their discretionary funds and fund a homeless shelter And we said well, we legally can't do that. We can't have nonprofits just coming to the board and go Hey, we want you to use taxpayer money for this good thing Now he's he's far left But his compassionate morality which I believe is written on the the conscience of our minds and hearts the bible says So we do have a moral code. It's what moral code are you going to follow the law of God or something else He looks at the government as his religion and as his god He truly believes his worldview is moral and You know what I mean? And is doing the right thing, but it's based on being able to murder children and Utilate children and all those things so Toby is right on we we can't sit back and just say Oh, everyone is is crazy. There's some very they they hold to those Views and they think they're a good person for holding to those views. I've talked to I know and you guys have talked about this for years and years and years. It's a skewed moral World view because we have removed God from everything So so we can't discount that too that you will talk to that a dual voter that treco voter And they really do believe they are doing the right thing and they're doing the moral thing and they're doing the compassionate thing Because the basis from which they're making those moral judgments just like Toby said are so far skewed They're not in a straight line. Okay. Oh, I want I want people's reaction to this and I'll start with Bortons on this one Every midterm The trend is always to go to the other Way This happened Obama Obama got crushed in his midterm that kind of thing But I think you you add like the progress in politics um The Democrats have been saying for decades we want to give you money. We want to do handouts and all that stuff And then finally the Trump the Republicans are talking like that. We'll give you five thousand dollars If Republicans win in November But that's nothing compared to what the Democrats have been promising Like that's chump change To what the Democrats have been promising and so Not only do you got the midterm issue But then you also finally have Republicans and Democrats fighting over who's going to give you more money Well, the Democrats are going to win that hands down Robert Yeah, I mean, I've been getting text messages for two years about do I want my tariff refund check And I don't know who's paying for those Text messages should be sent out on a daily basis, but man, that definitely hurt Republicans out there and yeah, I mean obviously I've talked to Brent before I was Telling people that there was going to be significant blowback from school choice that private education was winning before it We didn't need the state to come in and give welfare to home schoolers and Christian families For it and that would be blowback on the Republican party and it's been more glorious than I expected unfortunately Brent I want to respond go Brent You know, we have we have a socialist public education system in Texas and really throughout the The the United States and I think it's only fair for you know If the state is going to pay for kids It should pay for the for kids education. It should pay for The kids education and not merely only pay for a centralized government run system It's not perfect. There's a lot of things I would do differently if it if I were king for a day But that's you know based on the system we have right now I'm I think that this is that that that was the right choice but it does come With some electoral blowback So I just want you guys to understand Brent just said it is a socialist system And so he has now trained his voters to think like socialist and now is surprised that the socialist are taking over his state And I warned Republicans repeatedly about this mentality that god says Christian should ask For him for his support not for taxpayers money not for redistribution And this is the price that the Republicans are paying for denying God's providence in this land and training their voters to think like socialist I want to go back to Florida You don't get to do that you don't get to do that where's Brent? Don't know let let Brent respond. I don't know Let's go Brent. I mean it's a 12 point swing. Where am I? Well, let's breathe get him back in here I You let Robert Borden's happy I need to side by side between Brent and Robert Borden. Let's go I look right now. The fine. I didn't know I was gonna have to do this to me I love Robert What's going on? Hello Yep, yeah, I love Robert Borden's and what he's done with Classical conversations is fantastic And and I really appreciate All of that our Constitution in the state of Texas says from 1876 that we're going to provide an education To the children of the state of Texas and so far we have only done it the worst possible way Which is we're going to build a government run system and that has not worked Our education as a whole is is bad and there are Millions of kids in Texas that are stuck in a system that doesn't work for them And I think that it's the right thing to do to allow that same Money that's already been allocated really to go to Any family that wants to educate their kids. I'm not You know, I'm I'm happy to come back and have a whole debate with Robert on that On a different episode that would be maybe a lot of fun but You know right now I think that's one of the many Things that we're dealing with and even even as that goes I I point to People I think in the education system Who align with us on almost everything But they have an idolatry of their system of the way that they think education Should run or their job or their paycheck or whatever And they say eh not that worried about abortion and trans and kids and communism and Islam and all the other things that are existential threats Because I'm a little bit worried that my public school pension might not be as much as I think it ought to be and that's just Indicative of the I think Overall the selfishness um in in our world right now that needs Jesus All right, we're good with that part. Yeah And uh everyone should always vote for bread, but we disagree I have no problem voting over You I'll be down there. I'll come say hi This is one of those things like hey if I'm in a design an education system from scratch would I do it this way? Absolutely not. I don't think that it's the proper role of government to educate You know kids. I think that's parents Responsibility in the church churches responsibility for those kids who aren't able to be educated or provided for by their family um This is a prompt pragmatic Within where we are so maybe it's kind of like the the I find myself on a on a different um You know kind of like the the abolitionist versus incrementalist um, I don't know um Nobody is calling to abolish the Uh the public school system that would be a disaster if that were to happen all at once And so I think it's how do we manage the I brint you can't I absolutely and totally for that. I know you can't say that you're a politician But uh, I'd be happy if it was going great great more put his hands up Sorry look at nothing will depress you more than walking through high school uh Level government and civics with my 12 year old son today because that's that's my part of homeschool And he's going through the cabinet uh members right now and I'm explaining obviously the constitution and states rights And every single section I have to go well, that's the way it was written But that's not the way it's done today right that's not the way it was oh, but we don't know there's nothing There's nothing more depressing and then especially when you get to the department of education and you know And I'm using a good curriculum uh wink wink robber Uh and and you have to say oh yeah, that's that's not what they meant That's not what they do now. This we're spending $23,000 of pupil in Michigan Where's that money going? We bring you know second to last in the in the on the glowbomos in almost all educational Standards and I go look at my my daughter's a senior this year I'm a dumb guy my wife's not that smart either she got an engineering degree to a very good school And it's not very hard spend two hours a day with your kids teaching them and homeschoolers will outperform every single metric of a public school private school charter school I'm going on a soapbox right now. Don't get me started. I won't but Yeah, let's let's just let's just burn down the department of education Tag me tag me tag me there we go there we go all right um look there's two rings The fact that I think it's a socialist setup and you know, I think that me and mr. Money agree with that So there's no there's no difference no daylight between us there But just on the idea I think it was Walter Williams that was bringing this up or was uh Thomas Saul If if this was a free market None of them would have jobs anyway Like it's just be very honest None of them in a free market would have jobs anyway because they're kids and their pupils that they say if they're teaching Don't pass the test we keep moving the bar They're not learning because and they're failing and so like if that's the system is like what Greg just said two hours a day Teaching his kids is doing better than what they have with eight hours a day with their children Like it doesn't work just that Yeah, not just that in Texas public school Costs up the taxpayers about $20,000 per kid Um, and and I would say in a truly free market system the best teachers would make a ton of money They would do really really well Because everyone would want their kids to be educated by the best teachers We don't have a system that does that either We just pay every teacher, you know roughly the same amount based on how old how long they've been there And maybe some of their degrees and such But the system is not set up to Maximize student achievement to say the least or or taxpayer dollars Okay, I want to close off one part of our conversation because uh set has been with us for a while Um, I want to close off what's happening in Florida. I think pretty pretty much everything's wrapped up Victory's have been declared there. What what's happening in Florida We got to speak into that mic whatever whatever's going on with that mic you got to put it in your throat Sound like you're far far away Let's try this is this work. There we go Sweet man Yeah, man that that money going to schools is really dangerous because it uh, you know a lot of our Tax dollars are going towards Sharia law teach going to islam school teach in their kid out of eight Hey to America both in Texas and in Florida, which is you know really dangerous But um yeah in Florida we had we had an almost loss uh last Last time with amendment four luckily we have by god's providence a 60% threshold in order for amendment to go in in Florida And we had 57% of people a little bit more than that voting to enshrine abortion up to a birth in Florida And we just barely dodged that showing that florida is kind of winnable and we're losing a lot of these smaller seats In Florida, which is a little bit um concerning Um really just showing that uh That we the lord gives us over to the debase minds that we allow our people to um be shepherded by My heart's broken right now for virginia who that question one looks like it's passing, you know Which enshrines abortion up till birth in their constitution and um around there's some other some other things going on in abortion Florida, you know, we think it's a conservative bastion, but how many abortion clinics do we have? 50 50 abortion clinics more than all other red states combined yeah, we have Oh 50,000 abortion serious that we're doing terrible every eight minutes around the clock in Florida. Yeah, we aim to change that Praise god may your tribe increase Yeah, and the positive side florida does have round to santa says done exceptionally well on the educational front We have more children in non-traditional public schools in florida than in traditional public schools The only state in the country by far So florida and randasantists have been absolute trailblazers and educational freedom So there's some good notes to take I think Brett money might when might might you might want to research what randasantists has done here because he has used Uh the golden calf of money To entice people to get their kids out of public school and so I generally would not support that we don't take money from the state But if it's a means of breaking up the public school monopoly I think it's effective. I support it and it has been extremely effective here in florida to santa says taken on the teachers unions in one And he's been an exceptional governor and we see that being fleshed out right now We're floater's the only state in the whole You know southeastern quadrant of the country where Republicans have won elections And I think that's because of the popularity of de santis because of his effectiveness as a leader Despite how weak we are in abortion in some other areas, but um I pray randasantists runs for governor randasant president in 2028, but You know when we've got quite a few um initiatives in line right here that uh Byron said that he would continue to champion especially wanting to take up the the rains and following de santisis footsteps He's committed to uh continue on possibly pursuing equal protection and james uthmeyer was just publicly um Recorded and saying that he would want to continue to push and fight for um for florida as well when it comes to the the unborn He's really he's really he's james uthmeyer just won again. He's our attorney general And he's really championing a lot of things. He just um we just made it illegal for certain minors to go to Certain drag performances and so it's been it's been a joy to see a lot of these gay pride festivals and Which craft festivals and stuff kind of either get shut down or move to 18 plus because uh, you know There's just perversions running everywhere So florida starting to uh starting to lead the way in being a conservative bastion, but we've got a long way to go Would you guys mind if I jump in really quickly and just defend the public schools for one since I brab eat them all the time And no The only thing I would say is it's it's also twofold because of the breakdown of the nuclear family and the in the parents giving up the authority to the public school and saying Here's our kids and you do all the education and not putting a focus on education Public school teachers administrations and public school itself has a very difficult time You talk to public school teachers you talk to administrators superintendents principles It's insane what these kids come to school with how they act how they talk the disrespect for authority note no You know no focus on education from the parents in the home So that's also part of it too if there was any defense I would make of them or give them a little leeway the public schools in general I would say they also have a hard time too because of the culture and the breakdown of the nuclear family Yeah, whenever we get out of our own Yeah Our jurisdictions it can be an issue you know When we take things away from the family or from the church yeah, but what what I've seen here too is our last our primary Like when I look at these elections that are one or lost I think of Boca Raton or some others that The mayor won by five votes for the first time in 30 years There's a liberal mayor in the city of Boca Raton and I see this I see this over and over again in these cities Which shows just one church just one family can change the whole course of an election and as the church goes So goes the nation and right now we're seeing a weak church This is the result of a church that's not discipling especially in the public square And I think ministries like cross-politic and others are so important a citizens defending freedom TPO say faith white rose resistance operation save America to name a few are really doing the hard work and the groundwork of getting churches to show up and And really also we're seeing these elections results in my heart's breaking for Virginia and others But it doesn't end after tomorrow tomorrow is just where the battle begins and what what the call the mission is now to start a ministry to your magistrates Now that these people are and they need shepherded. It's not like the elections over and we're done No, we need to step up and show up to city councils show up to county commissions my job at with citizens of feng freedom one of those is To be a person of peace and connect different city councils kind of commission school boards with their pastors make introduction And continue on those relationships. I'm mad because there's there's two types of discipline. There's You know formative discipline and corrective discipline normally we go to a school board and start yelling saying Hey, you're doing all this wrong You know if you just corrective discipline your child. They're not going to learn jack They're just going to learn that my dad's mad and I just stay away But what we need is formative discipline if I show up to church and say here here's what can you you're going to expect when you walk into that church a lot of People doing crazy rambunctious stuff, but you're a tweedale you don't act like this This is the Lord's house and the more formative discipline I give the less corrective discipline I have to give and what we're missing as the church is formative discipline in the public square And so pastors church members need to show up turn out show up at the abortion clinics show up at the city council meetings The first one there the last one to leave a developed relationships start calling your officials start calling those Those magistrates that we're putting in and it matters way more who your sheriff is than who the governor is in your state Develop relationship with your sheriff develop relationship with your deputies And we can see the next time that we have one of these live talks Just how the church has shown up if we actually put our money where our mouth is you know So I'm I'm depressed and hurt especially seeing Virginia and others that are and shining abortion up till birth and their constitution But it also shows us where we need to start fixing things and where the church Has an opportunity to be salt and light and hopefully wake up in florida especially Byron I think one by so little which shows that That he almost lost which really should should give this new Directive to the conservative movement in florida. Hey man up because you're about to lose and especially the church Buckle up and I'm so glad that you know in florida here We've got Willie Rice who just won the presidency of the southern Baptist Um, and he's the he's the man dude and praying that Baptist and all these uh great bashtions of freedom and liberty Start standing up and speaking up especially in the public square and florida with 99% reporting Byron has 4 million 105 thousand votes and David Jolly has 3 million 987,000 almost 4 million votes Very close race yeah, he's basically won by a little over 100,000 votes In florida not even that now what what Seth was talking about in Virginia Um, I had to google this because I didn't even know this was going on Virginia. Yeah Virginia passed the right to abort that was the bill right to abortion 60% to 39 40 so 60 40 The right to up to birth no practical consent They they reported Um, removing same sex marriage ban from the constitution At the same time what is it? 43 they had a ban they had a ban that no one knew about knowing really followed But the voters did voted on it. It's true To pull it out You know This this issue educated they added might as well add this the right for felons to vote upon release I was propped one going out there and I know you guys getting any early numbers But no it's only seven o'clock cuter our our polls close at eight o'clock hold or not close yet How do you guys feel about that? I feel I feel good about it. I feel it's gonna be voted down. I just What so in terms of like a one-loss victory? I think we're gonna win but What is gonna make me happy is how much we win by no yeah? I want to see State wide. I would love to see like a seven seventy thirty Victory And then in addition to that in my city we're in a liberal city If there's anything that gets the conservatives out to vote is pro-life stuff I've said that I've or I believe this That there's enough Christians in my city to vote to give us a conservative council But just Christians we're so defeat us and we just then we're look they we believe we're liberal city So we just believe we're liberal city and we vote that way And so what I'm hoping is is that a pro-life bill Gets pro-life for's out. I would love to see what that means for our city In terms of being able to feed the bill just in our city alone Toby Yeah, I don't think we're gonna see 70 30 but I agree with It seems like at least the noise. I mean, maybe I live in a bubble, but the the noise I've heard I don't I'm especially not hearing a lot of triumphalism from the pro-abort side They don't they don't seem very So I would just say based on the enthusiasm of the no vote Um on prop one and the lack of enthusiasm on the other side I'm inclined to think I think god is gonna spare us and and and give us the victory and it'll go down and but our our prayer really has been that It would it would be a clear a resounding no Disciples yes, you know, and I again, I don't I don't think it'll be as the resounding is 70 percent But I you know, but I think a solid 60 or you know a pretty significant No We don't want them coming back here In two years and doing this again, you know, we don't want them to think we almost got it all we need is just a little bit more money We we our our prayer has been that they would be ashamed And never tried again here I Hope that that's actually what happens because When you have a house in the home and your kids do something in that home You know the audacity to do that that negative thing that you've been that they know that they know They shouldn't be getting away with and you look at them. You like what made you even think to try that in this house Like that's the Like have you lost your whole mind like that's the kind of hope that I have that happens with this thing But like that's what I'm thinking about with all this like it shouldn't it never ever got to this point And now nox now nox did you vote? Yes, all right, make it sure Residents But I just check him I just double check him man my residence is still there Yeah, I think you still vote Idaho I know But that's that's why I can speak so Clearly about this they never should even try Like it's what makes me look as they wait what are we doing that makes them feel like that we achieve dates still Yeah, that's right like like what what what is it they see in us that this is like oh this is the area to poke in out of all the things It's such a bold statement after what we just deal with all the pro-life stuff in Idaho You know, we're kind of having that statement right now in Michigan with the amendment to open up the state Constitution for amendments and right now it's failing 75 the 25 I was talking to a lot of Essentially a state-constitutional convention we can make amendments change the constitution And I was talking to both Democrats and Republicans and they're both scared of the the far extremes of each side They just went now I think that's gonna be a no for me and we're seeing that right now. It's failing 75 to 25 I mean who do you trust to go into this constitutional Conference and make good decisions? Yeah, right nobody We're looking at right now. I think Democrats are gonna take 240 house seats Wow 240 that's a lot Well, what was it before was it like 218 to 214 they just had a slightly of the Republicans Yeah, that's a substantial gain for them then Yeah, Trump will guarantee to be impeached I was gonna be two years of that you know that probably if they take the Senate and he maybe convicted right that'll be unprecedented Well, they you know they need 66 votes to convict them There's a good chance they could have 56 senators maybe 57 South Carolina is not looking good that might have a Democrat senator Um So you need 10 Republicans to cross over Why don't you talk to Carolina? Yeah, the president I showed who the why do you think South Carolina vote for the Democrat over a darling Graham? I mean She bear she barely won she won because of Trump's money and endorsement and still lost to Ralph Nordham Northam Who's kind of a friend of mine? You know barely good. He's a good guy So again Trump Trump listed in Trump has listened to the wrong people over and over again Making bad decisions. So I mean the headway for Republicans is just Too too much to overcome I mean you got to think like Georgia last year had a race for Um the the energy secretary or something like that the guy was friend of mine been there for like 20 years Georgia has like the cheapest energy prices And the country he lost by like 30 points just because he's a Republican I mean like the guy like if there's a person who is performing their job Like as good as possible Um, it was that he lost because of are you saying because of the the lack of excitement for Trump? Yeah, this Republican's up and down the board So we're sorry sorry It's hard to name a Trump victory. It's hard to name a policy victory that he's actually delivered on in two years You can name a lot of epic failures a lot of epic failures from Epstein to National debt That's good. He goes the border Those are border net negative you know net negative migration into the country Um, but even that Uh, did he hasn't delivered the way that His his base expected him to deliver on those things Following short of expectations Right, so uh, I mean huge improvement over where we were but not enough to excite People and say yeah, we got it, but you know, anyway, we got headwinds. Hey, I'm about time to step out. I do want to leave two To encouraging things I think One is Kingship belongs to the Lord and he rules over the nations and so um that hasn't changed It it it it's just the same today as it was yesterday and will be in January and was A decade ago and will be centuries from now and so we need to remember that Um and and secondly, I do think this election season especially in Texas Has woken up the church in a way Um too late. Yes. Do we have a lot of rot and uh and disease that needs to be addressed Absolutely, but I see more pastors speaking up into the cultural issues. I see more people Um godly christian people engaging in politics. I just think it's too little too late right now Um, but if we will buckle down Get serious about discipling the people of god and evangelizing Uh, the people of the world Uh, then um Then there's still hope in the days to come But it is uh, it's gonna be bleak uh for the next couple of years It was what's number two. What's the second? That was the both of them. Yeah God is in control Yeah, God is in here mother earth as my father's footstool He said thank you for being and he said uh the church is engaging There's just too little to late. I mean it's it's the same thing to me Okay Thanks, Brent. Thank you so much for joining us, man I appreciate you guys You're going to one of your candidates uh locally is winning correct What's that? You're you're going You're you're you're in a uh election party where your candidate is winning locally Who is it uh he is he is it's jc arbro who is a Awesome Christian dude Um running for congress for a new open seat And he is currently i think down 1% but we got a lot of rurals left to come in. I think he's gonna pull it out But uh, it's closer than it ought to be Yeah, wow, well lord bless you, Brent. Keep up the good work. Appreciate you, man Thank you appreciate you guys. Bless you, brother. Yes All right, you know, I was uh, I wanted to come back something that nox was talking about earlier Where he was asking you know why in the world Did they even try to run prop 1 in Idaho? Why would they why would they even try in such a red state? um But you I mean I don't maybe um jason maybe you guys know the stats better than I do but um I think that since the dobs decision Um, I think there have been um somewhere around like I don't know 15 or 16 referendums on abortion and um oh hi oh and the vast majority of them I think it's like somewhere around 11 or 12 or something around there Have enshrined abortion Yeah, yeah, we've only one three. We've only one three. We've won we went to bear up in Nebraska because we sort of split it We want South Dakota South Dakota and we want we want Florida because Florida was a 60% threshold But right really South Dakota is the only state we've one head to head and and in a real head to head and uh and it was 5149 so uh Yeah, you guys so that's the point those I mean the the the reason nox like like why are they even trying that was because they keep winning Why would they not keep trying? Yeah, yeah exactly and and if South Dakota like barely hung on to um pro-life, you know, protections um, I mean, and I get it like I don't know polling has been kind of 50-50 I think I think um the the yes has been a little bit lower at points, but like I'm just saying like it um I think I think it's gonna be close it's gonna be very close to Way closer than it then it should be The two two big factors to be saw in in the victories that we've had were one Better good messaging because the pro-life movement is great at messing up the messaging and they did everything but talk about babies and they did everything but talk about late-term abortion Which was foolish and I think in Idaho, you know, he's had some good good strategists there They've done a better job. Of course my boy AJ has been there working hard with you guys and so you know We've made sure the messaging has been better and they're talking about late-term abortions You know, it's like you have to talk about babies and the other thing is just raising money You know in South Dakota they won because they're able to match resources and match funds here in Florida We were out spent 120 million to 10 million So in almost all that money was from outside the state of Florida, right? Missouri of course lost two years ago in a heartbreaking defeat. It was 51 49 very close They were outspent 32 million to 1 million in barely lost So you know if we match funding if we match resources we can win we just usually don't so in Idaho I think you guys have done a good job of matching resources Matching funding and I think you've done a good job of messaging so I'm hoping for victory I think you guys can win But I think it's still gonna be close And this current person Virginia we already mentioned that one earlier They're on their question one Virginia voters have approved that measure inshrining abortion into the Constitution of Virginia That are Missouri also amendment three Yeah That's amazing What's that Jason? So they we lost the amendment two years ago now the pro-life side is running basically running it back There are times of no pro-life amendment now they added rape and insults in life of the mother exceptions And they're going to enshrine into the state constitution So of course that upset a lot of people and I think it was a foolish mistake they they Crunch numbers. I think this is going to enable them to win So basically this is this this is the pro-life side taking the offensive on a not to repeal But I haven't seen the latest numbers you have the numbers pulled up on Right now is to do it poorly No leads by about 63% to 37% Yes, looks like that's gonna I think that's only like 20% of Okay, so early so it's so pretty early The following is not working good for them, but I don't want to open that candle worms But when you look at the people that are spending the most money against that bill The third The third the third largest group is abolitionists for spending money to I mean I wasn't a big fan of the existence exceptions. It was cringey hard to vote for but man I certainly wouldn't spend money opposing it. That's crazy. Yeah, right. That goes back to like Okay, here we go for Kim Pax and I understand don't vote for James Talleriko Exactly We have voting Democrat voting against Yeah, I agree like I can understand a conscientious abolitionist saying I just can't vote for that Yeah, okay But and but that's not like don't support the opposition exactly crazy Ridiculous so that also has question six which I think is a right to abortion Yeah, yeah That's the pass in two consecutive To test the pass in two consecutive oh Amin referendums there and I think it's gonna do both it already passed the first time in 2024 Yeah, um 64% to 36% and so it um it insurines legal abortion up to 24 weeks Um, and yeah, it's expected to pass as a second time. So it's like it's like a confirmation referendum And then you got Idaho's proposition one. I think those are the current ones. Yeah, so you got you guys got to win Yeah, we're holding out hope we Yeah, man. Yeah, man polls close in an hour and Idaho Yeah It's it's crazy how the Republican Party conservatives are distancing themselves from the life issue because it's a losing issue even in And in some of our bills, you know the Florida wouldn't even hear the bill that would just teach human embryology in our schools Um, and so there's there's so many things that people won't even won't even move on because they don't want to be seen I I'm their own shadow. I think that um I'm I'm curious to see what happens Gabe with voter turnout this year ride a hoe but I Kind of wonder if it's actually gonna give us a massive turnout. Yeah, I mean proposition one conservatives get out for pro life votes But but but I'm but this is to your point is like the Republicans are insane For not taking up the life issue Like I think I think we're probably voters. Oh absolutely. Yeah, people care about little babies Being murdered and I think I think of Republicans would just would own that Um, I think they would rally their base Um, yeah, I agree. Yeah I'm looking at so here's A number of guys go ahead nox go please Greg you were talking about the under 30 voters Do you think that the pro life question is strong with those guys? 100% Very much in fact every single uh Nationwide poll or any large in 10,000 people or more when you poll gen alpha gen Z Not in a so much gen alpha. They're a little younger uh young millennials and in gen Z They are so trending in You know, it's a hot button word conservative, but they're trending towards not only conservative theology but conservative politics with life being one of one of the big ones And so I think it was gave that just said or was it toby Uh, double down on that Yes But then but then the industry would go away You have a multi billion dollar political industry in the pro life industry and I hate to sound like one of those um You know crunchy abolitionists, but I've I've been in it. I know it. I've ran campaigns. I I've been to my state capital and then lobbied and it is a machine And it gets people elected, but then you don't want to do too much because if you remove it What am I going to run on how am I going to raise money right to life and all these other organizations spend millions tens of millions of dollars to politicians to get them elected And they don't really have to do anything about it. So it's one of those things where if you fix the problem then I don't have a job anymore either That's sick and doing college ministry you see these young people are intellectually honest with the facts That's why they're all trending towards abolition because wait if it's a human life It's a if it's a human being we know as to abolish abolish abortion you can't murder human beings. That's ridiculous They get it and um and it's really it's really exciting to me how abolitionist rising Um, it's such a such a manner with the young folks So um here's a bunch of amendments that are are going on throughout the US So we've already kind of we know what's going on Idaho. We know it's going on Missouri We talked about the Nevada on the abortion ones um Vermont The question is establish equal protection and um I assume But right now with 36% voting in Vermont At 90,000 people voted yes and 25,000 people voted no So I don't know are they voting against the bill or for the bill it's not telling me Um, but the established equal protection in in Vermont. I was someone to figure out which which way that vote What is that I'm not sure what that is Well, I mean, I think the equal protection is like a good way of framing it Um, that's that's the bill in Vermont I don't know if the bill actually that's not that's not it's not about abortion. It's more about It's more about expansion of rights to historically discriminated classes of people Interesting So if they have it under the abortion category pro-life or on NBC news you mean like babies Yeah, exactly. Yeah, not that babies Um, no Wow, they have it under the pro we have an under abortion category in uh on NBC news And why are you in NBC news? It's just the best format that I see right now for ballot measures. I've looked at number websites For ballot measures in Alaska and They're trying to repeal ranked choice voting Which would be amazing because ranked choice voting is crap. I think that's in the past You think so in Alaska that he can't for last Um requiring citizens to vote there that's on the ballot too in Alaska and actually a number states have that Um Arizona has voter ID and citizenship Arkansas has citizenship to vote um California has requiring voter ID That's it You don't need to be a citizen. You just got to show the voter ID Kansas requiring citizens to vote um Uh, let's see What other else is going on in Missouri they got top two primary elections So they're doing kind of a top two primary election thing in Missouri That one's really important too because um If two like say two Democrats get the most votes in an area it it Defeats the Republican or two Republicans it it really um takes away your That's less in California. That's how happens in California Two liberals can run against each other for governor They don't have to run against a conservative the top two votes the top two voters Run against each other for governor in California From the primaries Yeah after the primary it's called a jungle primary So the top two voters in the primary get to run against each other So at the top two voters are the public and or Democrat Yeah, that's have to be split Oh, that's what Gunnar Moses was singing about right Gunnar Welcome to the jungle Um got a lot of states dealing with actually voter ID stuff You guys you guys are four to have it brought up the um the homestead toxic exemption Deal tell us about this But the Sanctus has been stumping on this and unfortunately we have a very weak Rhino Legislature and they've actually fought the Sanctus and tried to make him a lame duck these last two years And so is the acceleration of his reform in the state Unfortunately slowed but he wanted he's been talking about just repealing property taxes He's given some fantastic speeches saying property tax is in the world stupid You know, it's been fantastic. Of course they fought him on it. Oh my god Thank you great Yes, sir. I need that I've been in all those um city council and county commission meetings While all that was being talked about and a lot of the cities and counties get their money from these homestead taxes So they're all scrambling on how they can Change the taxes around and make up their tax So I think cities like Port Orange or something we're trying to do um illegal taxes on some of their roads That uh become a fee instead of a tax it's paper use stuff So we're gonna see a lot of shakainery coming up in the state of Florida once this passes Instead he's trying to make up their money instead of doing a doge where they start cutting a bunch of stuff You know, they're gonna start to trying to take our money elsewhere What's interesting of Vermont and new hamster right now are trending towards a Republican governor With 80% reporting in Vermont Um the Republican governor is winning 51% to 46 They have a Republican he's a incumbent pretty moderate pretty moderate Yeah, he's been railing against Trump since Trump's been elected to keep Thank you Robert and then in new hamster it's closer. It's 50 with only 55% Reporting it's 50% for the Republican Kaylee Kelly iody Yes, the Democrat 48% Cindy war means 10 she should win by one or two points But think she won the last time by ten or 12 This is interesting here just since I've been on the live stream with you guys the Ohio governor So Amy action and Vivek Ramaswami he was down seven points with 65% reporting He's now pulled within 3.9 Percent with 74% reporting so he's trending closer to a possible win Interesting and he's just about a hundred thousand votes apart just so you know a little over a hundred thousand votes apart 20 I was the governor's race in Texas looking Yeah, so the governor's race with 57% reporting and Texas it's 56% Democrat 42% Greg Abbott I wish this will be historic Yeah, Texas can flip whether that's gonna be ugly real bad I just say We're gonna state those Democrat the next election I'm not Florida. I kind of want to ask our Texas guy why he was in here But maybe you guys know more than I do do you think the the blue wave in Texas has anything to do with the immigration from the liberal states like California and things like that Just the population No, no, no, no, illegal immigration of all these Hindus and Muslims is been so significant in Texas that that's great Greg is talking about California. No, he talked about Texas. Greg was bringing that No, that's what I'm saying they're They're coming from Colorado. They're coming from California. The liberals leave there They leave Los Angeles and California and they set up shop in Austin and Dallas and Fort Worth and all those other places Do you think that's having an effect on I mean this is crazy that Gina is up over Greg by I know I'm arguing the bigger problem has been the Hindus and the muzzle I'm not I'd like to see statistics. I'm not sure if that's the big I have not I mean the stats are pretty even I've not seen Texas numbers. I have seen Arizona numbers in North Carolina numbers And in both of those states why we're still purple states is because of the inflows of people So native North Carolinians and native air zone and are voting Democrat And it's the people who have moved here the last 10 years that are voting Republican We had massive influx of Californians Washingtonians and Oregon I'm all into Idaho and four out of every five voters at least for the last couple years have been voting conservative in Idaho Yeah, right. That's a factor here. That's a factor here in Florida. Nox you talked about why is Byron Donald's struggling we don't one of the factors here is that dynamic is actually flipped Where Donald has said that he wants to make Florida he wants to make Miami the new Wall Street and these making it very business friendly He wants big AI data centers down here Whereas jolly has a message that actually resonates more with more traditional conservative native flabridians who are tired of migrants coming into their states And he said he's in the slow development You know basically the whole Florida's full kind of idea like we don't want you know stop coming into our state We're filled up. We got enough people Stay out of our state and and stop you know taking up our farmland and our fishing land and in our hunting land So so you know that's reflipped here right that Donald's is a former New Yorker who's come down here Whereas jolly is a native flabridian Um, and of course, Donald's was was formerly democrat jolly was formerly Republican So all those factors have played into down here, but certainly flabridian flabridians native flabridians do not like the influx of people Yet the I would say the dynamic actually is that most of the influx of people coming into Florida coming into Florida because They're conservative like me I came down here two years ago and set cities in a team being a surf in catch your elevators and He hasn't taken me to he hasn't had taken me to go kitchen elevator yet waiting for that so help me understand what you So what you're thinking here is you're like man. I just got here. I don't want to ruin it. So Byron Uh, I'm going from brown. I'm going from brown. I did he wasn't my first pick. No, he's he uh Whoever dissent this would have would have gotten behind certainly would have been all shooing in dissent And don't endorse don't they were not close Again, Donald's just you know Donald's jumped in the race and just pivoted hard to big donors Big special interest groups And and he just kind of gave a cold shoulder to the grassroots based conservatives Yeah, you know Like fishery told us that the current law is good enough and he's not going to do anything to advance pro legislation here The current law Yeah, the current right the current laws is six weeks six weeks You know ban that that leaves the door right open for abortion 50,000 portions a year down here in Florida So so you know Byron does did not do a good job with with connecting to you know kind of taking that mantle from dissentists and running with it What we're missing is leadership man Everyone's following and then the leadership that we have when you think of When you think of most of faith leadership all of the faith offices that are around are all run by women You know, there's no There's no you know, it's uh Think John Cowan said when god wants to judge a nation he gives them wicked rulers But I think it was Isaiah who said when god wants to judge a nation he gives them women rulers and That's what we're seeing right now a lot is um yeah children Are oppressors and women rule over you um, but what we're seeing here is it's just weak leadership and all over the nation is No one's actually running with conviction and the people that do are kind of People create conspiracy theories about them and try to run them out of town because they threaten the status quo What do you look at go ahead? Uh just South Carolina is now got a Democrat Senator So but with with a lack of vision people perish right and so what was the Republicans vision for this election? I mean, I've been asking for two years what we're running on as a You know elected leader in uh in my county. I mean we uh Change for the future Let's play a dive. Oh, no taxis You know people don't care about low taxes if their guesses you know five dollars again And if their jobs are gonna be taken over by AI and all these things You know Robert to your point is I think this can't be especially in Republican strongholds This point can't be emphasized enough If if you are not discipling your people you aren't winning Elinti Graham could care less about discipling South Carolinians Um, you know gray gabbett shut down Texas and covid. I mean like they've put no real clear um Uh vision to your point Robert and to the people in Texas it should be like like governor de Santos did and he gained Um in the elections over the years he when he was first elected he barely won And then the next time he was uh reelected he won by I think 20 points Yeah Yeah, yeah 60 40 yeah and and so if you're actually one of the signs that conservatives are doing really well and actually Discipling their states is they're actually growing their database and winning them over Because the truth should be better the truth should be based on uh, you know Biblical policies and stuff like that and if you're you're in your your your um Putting forth Policies that are are freer for the people that the people are gonna see that and they're gonna vote for it generally speaking That's what that's what happened brought to santa's um and and so we got Texas that I mean this is like what's happening in Texas and honestly South Carolina is the same thing You like this is like historic To go from Lindsey Graham how long was Lindsey Graham a sinner? Probably longer longer than we've been alive. I think Long time and and then he passes away and he can't he doesn't carry any weight to maintain South Carolina with a conservative senator like they just he's gone There's a disconnect between republican leadership and the grassroots base of conservatives right trump tapped into it He was he tapped into the anti establishment energy and we've watched him just be co-authored by the political establishment and and become a part of the unit party said to say and that has absolutely alienated some of the people that were so excited for him That energy that he had is just simply not there because he hasn't delivered on some of those core promises of draining the swamp You know bring down the deficit and rooting out the corruption just hasn't happened But also he has he had a a senate and a house who wouldn't do anything. I mean, I think I think Trump he he empowered him And he endorsed Lindsey Graham, you know in the primary and in the general right so he's you know Yeah, he's been working very guys that were backstabbing him now To defend the house a little bit they did pass like 700 bills That are just sitting in the senate waiting to get a hearing so a lot of the You know that this house wasn't do it wasn't the house did try to To the better ideas that Trump had in there That was What's his name? Mike Mike Johnson was throwing around 700 and 900 bills Um They didn't I think what he was I think it was extrapolating that number from all the bills that were embedded into each other Yeah, and so he actually is I googled that to that to verify his His claim and at least according to the internet um They said this was this was still even even the number he's touting was still low And Mike and Mike was saying this is like The one of the most productive houses ever now the foot said is this easy to vote for a bill And you know it's gonna not be passed anywhere Gas can be more bold and voted things that they otherwise wouldn't have to vote for if they knew it was actually in a past The Senate be sending the law and had it defended to the constituents so You know there's that too, but yeah, the Senate certainly has been been a major hang up the save act was killed in the Senate That was probably the biggest failure right not passing the save act in the last six months You know could have established national voter ID Clean up a lot of these voter rolls force these liberal states to clean up voter rolls. I think that would have been huge And they could You also ran out people like massi and Uh, right Taylor green like these were magga america first You know people and he just ran them off because For whatever reason. I mean Marjolor green like gala per Husband in her marriage for Donald Trump and then he just shot on her at first now. I'm not saying that was a good decision By her all but How could you trust her after that? Let's be honest No, I'm not saying but I'm saying that like There were people who gave everything they had To get them elected and then they just got betrayed and so they just are bitter and I mean Gen Z and alpha They see that The world's not a good place for them that they're the first generation ever in america Are going to be better off than their you know parents and grandparents um I mean boomers as you know, I don't want to blame too much, but they put 40 trillion dollars in our national debt This is becoming president um, you know, they got us into These wars in the middle east that have done nothing to help america Out and so I mean You know the Persians have been around for a really long time and I'm pretty sure they're gonna be here. It'll Jesus comes back You know rushes had to learn the hard way I guess we're learning the hard way as well. There's um several other items I'm just I'm doing a little bit of hunting around for other items that are on ballots in states Want us to do with um transgender Stuff yeah Colorado is considering a ban on surgeries Uh, alter biological sex characteristic for minors Along with a measure requiring students to play on sports teams that match their biological sex I believe Arizona and Washington have also similar items um on their ballots nabrasca has a fairness for girls constitutional amendment um and Missouri Um amendment three also includes a ban on gender transition procedures for minors um any um you guys know anything about any of those items They're all horrific Right now looks like Colorado is passing The biological sex one With with four percent 54 percent Okay votes counted is 53 to 47 basically Yeah, I'd imagine that it'd be getting more conservative with more votes that I'm not quite sure I'm really curious to see what Washington does with that Well, it's sports thing Well, it's funny because what here in North Carolina we had three um constitutional amendments they all passed like 70 to 30 And all three of them were opposed by the Democrats who just swept through the state And the voters basically elected people who are going to oppose what they just voted for Interesting. Yeah, crazy That goes to Toby's point Hey Greg you've been quite over there. I'm kind of intrigued by your face. What do you think about What I'm thinking Well, I mean 2022 when I was on with you guys a few years ago we basically gave it up. We said uh Men can play on women's sports constitutional amendment Teachers can take uh minors for sex assignment Resignment surgery without parental consent. That's a constitutional amendment. I mean we went whole Hard far left in three of our seven propositions that passed in 2022 So I'm happy to see Colorado You know, uh goge Colorado is weird because they're pretty conservative state with just little bastions of Liberal kind of like you guys are out there in Idaho I would think and so it's good to at least see Another state standing up for some of those things. I'd be interested to see in those other ballot proposals where they land But to Robert's point it's it's totally insane to me how the electorate can uh Basically vote in people Uh that go against what they just voted for um You know, it's it's tough for me because for years and years and years I said i'll never become jaded. I'm a public servant I want to listen to everyone and then after 10 years in public service you start to become a little jaded You go wow people are idiots They don't learn anything they don't read anything. They're easily swayed And then you start getting into you know going down the rabbit hole of wow that that's crazy that You know men got the right all men got the right to vote just 10 years before woman Like we had this precedent in the country to where only land owners could vote because Our founding fathers kind of understood like you got to have some skin in the game if you want to form a civilization And we're to the point now to where everyone gets to vote uneducated don't know anything and You know like someone said earlier on this live stream You know, whatever the trend is y'all vote on and why does the idiots vote who's never even opened up a book who had who's a pagan Have the same weight is my vote who I study and I pray and I look at it and I and I turn it over in my head And I use discernment I tried to and you go that doesn't seem like a fair constitutional representative republic either You know And to your point earlier gave about Lindsey Graham not being able to hold any conservative, you know After they vote what but was he a conservative? I mean the guy was visiting male prostitutes What is he what is he conserving? He was he was no conservative or no one asked that question platform Republican in any sense of the term You know, I mean yeah when you're when you're squishing and you have no principle what is there to hold on to anyone can take that seat Greg are you familiar with the Wisconsin amendment barring the government from prohibiting gatherings of places of worship during declared emergencies No, I'm not this is interesting I said that Uh, so Wisconsin is considering an amendment which would barge government from prohibiting gatherings at places of worship during declared emergencies So you could gather during It's like oh praise god is limiting the government and then back to limited government I'm just gonna wait what's the what's the what's the numbers on it right now? I know the other pastor winning the governor's race that big We are so happy for him kind of win right now. That's hilarious Hey, what's the numbers? Please No, do you have update on the whether the seats sit right now Yeah, it looks like Senate uh, Tallerica has been declared by decision desks uh when the senate seat in Texas Wow And so these uh Ken Paxton's running about two or three points uh behind Uh governor Abbott so I don't know if Abbott's gonna sneak by with a 1% victory or not So so far this is with 60% reporting is what I see yeah in Texas Yeah, I'm gonna say game 16 60 so 60 reporting but Tallerico I mean he has kind of Pulled away, but the problem is what you can have is like he's didn't can report but a bunch of the rural areas which heavily go conservative Haven't reported yet. This will happen in Ted Cruz if you guys remember Ted Cruz and Beto Beto Beto was winning and then all the rural counties came in and Ted Cruz pulled it out So far in Wisconsin. This is question two um Yes is winning right now with 52% no as 48% but I think is it 60% that's got a threshold um I don't think so but I think it's um um Pretty pretty small amount of votes counted so far. I don't think it's Uh very far along but it's yeah, it's a really good amendment the idea is that um uh basically Um, they are amending the religious liberty section of the state constitution in Wisconsin um barring the state or any local government from ordering places of worship closed or forbidding gatherings in them in In response to a state of emergency including a public health emergency I wonder why they're doing that All right, I can't think of any reason. Can you think of a reason? Hey, but you know we saw that so many times Didn't we um during that during that time we forget it miss Michigan, New York We had governor saying hey, you can't meet and then what I saw amazingly too And this is something we need to bring back is the doctrine of lesser magistrates You had sheriffs and state officers say uh kick rocks. No, thank you That's unconstitutional. We will not uphold your governor orders And the governor's we saw them resending their orders because you had the lesser magistrates standing up for the rights of the people And with all these losses I'm seeing around the nation It's breaking my heart, but I'm also seeing that this we need to refine our duty to uh uphold that doctrine of lesser magistrates and see where we need to start Taking initiative even in abortion and stuff, you know city by city county by county We see it even the um Mark Lee Dixon's doing awesome over there new mexico in texas where he has sanctuary cities for the preborn where in Lubbock, Texas They shut down their plan parenthood because they made that city a sanctuary city for the preborn where abortion would have been illegal by city or by county orders That's great. Which is just federalism Yeah, you know it and was constant in order for an amendment to get on a ballot It actually has to pass their legislature twice right right He's been on a state before it can even go to voters which I it's a really good protection to have in place Um in this one past the senate 21 to 10 in 2023 and then the assembly 6 to 33 in February 2024 and then it passed again in January 2026 And so now it's on the on the ballot You'd think that that would mean that that has has pretty strong support but governor their governor during covid Um Limiting where people you know could go or how many could worship and so forth and so this seems to be a pretty direct response to that And um and it even applies according to this um according to this uh Claude summary it would apply even to national emergency orders so they they're like it should They're just preemptively saying this is supposed to national state and local orders. Yeah You basically institution stands you basically don't have the right to limit on places of worship Back to the first amendment That's good But we have to say these things out loud again and again and again Well, what what I think what if it comes to islam How so The right to worship Yeah, all these all these freedoms you see islam using these things especially even our school PEP funds and stuff to push to re-illaw and um when you when you have this Anti-American constitutional ideology that's contrary to everything we have Being disguised as a religion in order to use all of our rights against us I mean this goes back to the argument for christian nationalism that exactly I have the right to public worship in a christian country Just like just like we don't have a right to worship in their Muslim country Right Right we have the right to be distinctly christian I mean it's a little bit of a dumb argument because Jesus is king over muslims too, but like um Everyone has no problem with muslims and that christians don't have a right to worship in their country But you know if you really think about like all the leftist arguments that come out It's it's the christians who are the only ones who have to obey separation of church and state well done Like that national that's what everyone gets everyone's like oh yeah specifically conservative Christians Just having all this Liberals can on their campaign trail stop by the church and take over the pulpit on Well, we are we are now functionally a liberal christian nation right right? So if you're a flag if you're a rainbow flag flying Presbyterian or unitarian or Lutheran like your religion is the established religion of the United States right now Yeah Taleriko man no question it Taleriko one I mean they're With 60% was 60% in yes, so the good the good thing in that trend is that I think young Christians are definitely trending far more conservative than the previous generation Right, so we are seeing this uprising of young Man in particular that are bold bolder and unashamedly christian nationalist in certain ways You know, of course they need the temperance and the wisdom of older men to speak into their lives They don't go off the garden the garden rails and swarming to their ditches. We're seeing many them do but Yeah, I just I mean the bible says my people were repent then I'll save their country and I still see very many Christians repenting Pretty not the islamic people need a repent or the atheist need a repent or the LGBT People need a repent it's the the Christians so I mean We've had a biblical world view according to barn i drop from nearly 20% of Christians down to four or five percent Over the last you know 20 or 30 years. I mean, I'm not saying barn is that is perfect But I think we can all see that that's a horrific trend same time our national debt has increased by 40 trillion dollars So we're relying on debt which god calls evil to fund our lifestyles Instead of relying on god and so as long as we look to these things as Christians um instead of the the holy creator We shouldn't be surprised at the results that we get yeah And to your point at four percent of people have a biblical world view and we expect them to vote biblically It's shows our lack of discipleship and we're really just reaping the fruit today Oh Thank you Yep, why do you guys How do you explain Iowa like right now 48% reporting you got the liberal democrat rob saying beating zak law and 58% to 41% Um only four yet but that's that's a pretty white gap um coming from a pretty The you know um The gal who was governor was pretty well liked in Iowa The republican gal how do you explain Iowa It's like same same trends you're seeing nationally it's just dissatisfaction low voter energy with Republicans and extremely high energy with democrats How i mean how much of this is Somebody said earlier that they thought There's actually some republicans that are just straight up flipping. They're just like we're sick. We're voting for the democrat Um and how much of this is independence shivering Certainly some of that think a lot of republicans probably stay at home as well, right um yeah You know, I don't think it's necessarily a means of for crisis. You know, we've talked about this is this is a trend That is to be expected that that that midterm elections are typically going to shift away from the president right um It and sometimes that's good right because this is probably what a lot of republicans need to to ring their bell You know like even here. I think it's probably could it downloads one by a very slim margin rather than the larger margin Because it's a it's a message that you barely wanted to state you should have one annually That means you didn't want to get campaign. You know, it means you you you alienated your base And you need to do better right and so I think the message for republicans that hopefully hits right hopefully the punch hits on the jaw And sends the message to the brain. We didn't do a good job. You know On the issues that we said we were going to do a good job and let's do better so With That punch land is lands amen docs with uh 66 reporting in Arizona Katie Hobbs is winning 58% to 42 Never heard of him When you go to say great i would i would really like to see those exit polls to Toby's point, you know, obviously my view is skewed with the circles i run in but You you guys know the same people i know that our Self-proclaimed reform Christians go and we're going to vote Democrat just to show the republicans that we don't like You know, what's up? I would guess it's probably one and a half two percent two points on some of these races probably not enough for you know to To explain this wave Yeah, but once again, I think that's a retardage strategy And I disagree with those people um, but but there there is something rising but to go back to i don't want to stay too much on gen uh z But the silver lining in this is in 10 or 15 years for the craziness we've seen over the last 30 years And how fast our culture has has moved away from anything normal You have the first generation ever in gen z that has that has understood that they've been lied to their entire lives Right like even my generation had to learn that boomers they're they're they're kind of a lost cause Sorry boomers my generation elder millennials. We we kind of woke up halfway through a generation Gen z is the first generation to go there is no truth everything subjective So what is their number one thing is seeking after truth and my hope is that the church actually does it job and preaches the gospel and says Here is the truth you're seeking right that's why I think even secular Gen z is trending more right because they're going we've been lied to our whole life nothing is everything subjective There is no center. There is no absolute truth So I have to seek that out for myself That's why you see Gen z trending towards reform theology muslim Catholic eastern orthodox anything was structured and that claims to have the truth That is where they're going and it's in my hope is in the western Christian church Churches actually stand up and say this is the truth and we're gonna preach the truth not only the gospel but God's moral law And in 10 or 15 years of silver lining is this you're gonna see the pendulum swing You're gonna see a hard right whatever you want to call it Christian nationalism Conservatism whatever it is but my kids that are you know 15 18 20 22 that age right now in 10 or 15 years when they're running for politics When they're voting you're going to see a hard swing and and that's I mean I absolutely love how Christianity blossoms under persecution we've seen it throughout history and we're seeing it politically and we'll see it in 10 or 15 years Kind of sucks tonight right now because we still have a lot of boomers and a lot of guys my age that are that are either not voting or voting incorrectly But I have hope for the next generation under god sovereignty That we will see a huge swing in 10 to 15 years I have a question for you guys For pastors for churches for youth leaders for anyone who has an influence How do you shepherd People Christians tomorrow in light of a lot of the elections. There's gonna be people in Iowa Especially people in Virginia who just in trying to borschen up till birth who have been fighting these battles And now they're dealing with its incredible loss of their state How do you how do you what are the words? How do you shepherd if you are if you are in this position What are some some things that you guys would bring out So I'm gonna go first because pastor Toby is a real pastor I don't even play one on TV and so like I don't I shouldn't go last I leave him with the the real pastoral wisdom here I will say this That we are not at the time and place where you can get ready for these moments It's just not possible you have to be ready for these moments You have to stay ready and if you aren't already Discipling your family and family worship and singing Psalms and attending church on the Lord's day You're not you're not ready for what's about to happen and you can't get ready and so you're gonna have to start at the beginning You can't disciple people where you haven't already been disciples yourself and and so like I you know they're Everything that's happening right now when you guys were talking about the lesser magistrates and like the importance of needing that I was thinking to myself Like yes, I completely agree with that But the lesser magistrates are only going to be as good as the families that produce them The lesser magistrates and the politicians are only going to be as sanctified as the families that they come from Like part of part of what I'm thinking about right now is like we need an absolute new strategy period When you think about the Muslims and when you think about the The secularists and you think about the people who are overrunning the pagans that are overrunning our borders They're not the majority and yet that we they got us on the run Right like they just got us on the run right now and the reason for that is because we ourselves Have given off the offspring of God to the secularists to the pagans if the Christian church Would just take their kids out of government schools And husbands love their wives and then give their wife's resources to be able to train and educate their kids and in For a moment that just just work with me for a moment and say you know what god I know this is right So I'm gonna do it. I know we don't have the money, but I'm gonna do it Like we are people of faith and hope and we want to put faith in hope and any every any and everywhere except for a guy told us to Right, this is ridiculous And so like if we were just to do that and Would it before five years in high school the kids that would come out of that in the next five years That we would train and disciple to love the Lord to know his word to be able to bring covenant lawsuit against the things that are happening in our nation right now Like if you The we would transform forget the next 15 years and 10 years and I agree with you in every way Greg What we would do in the next five years The economy will completely restructure Man would figure out how to work harder because they have to supply for two incomes that they used to have before and they got all their kids at home They got to pay for education and they got to forgot to wait and make sure their wife has the resources to train their kids What that would produce in man Immediately what economically Transform the nation and we don't believe that like we don't trust God in that reality We don't think that God would actually do that because we obeyed him Right and so just doing those things and save every Christian that that possibly can every Christian under the sound of my voice Look, I'll even go just the southern Baptist we got Willie Rice right now. Let's go right if we would just take and say We're gonna pull our kids out of government schools We were completely radically changed the economic system because there's a domino effect You want to find out where to put the leverage egg to get the most out of the move You do that and you order the home You start training your kids to love God you start training them to work You start realizing that your family is one of your main resources for you The business that you would create and we focus on the family first And business second and politics would fall right into place and we wouldn't be running to it And so like this is that we need a new structure a new plan for this because when you start And I've said this before and I really want to stress this When you have businesses That supply jobs to people Everybody bends the need to get them to come in everybody The the whole system out here they got in Arizona where the TSMC or I can't remember never say the name right but the The chip People from Taiwan That are trying to build a hill that sounds racist. Yeah, yeah, it is. It's okay. I don't care 200 260 billion dollars that they're bringing into Phoenix alone And ask me if they have to have a vote Ask me what side left to right is nice and give them whatever they want 10,000 jobs are coming our economies booming They don't care what kind of gods them people are bringing in and what they're gonna do what they see is the money Right they see all the money coming in and they see all the power that's gonna come along with that And they said and these guys will say hey, we don't like that lamp out there and guess what those everybody in that Phoenix is gonna say Hey guys get that lamp out of here burn it down. They don't want it Hey, we want three rows in front and we want three Taiwanese flags that rise above the American flag They was a little tight. It's like we ain't coming all right guys. We're gonna need them flags up there And we don't need three posts. It's amazing how much happens when would you actually are supplying livelihoods to the rest of everybody else in your society And we've forgotten this because we don't know how to use the resources in our very kitchens We don't know how to use the resources that God has given us so that we're not building anything that people find valuable When we do that we won't have to vote The Muslims have taken over Dearborn, Michigan even before they started voting And then so And so like this is so simple the left is not breeding kids we are But why is it that they have all of our kids and as long as they have all of our kids They will always give us problems and as soon as we take our kids back and as soon as we take our wives back And as soon as we start discipling our kids and washing our wives and the word of God and training them And teaching them to work we will become the most valuable assets again in America and we will rule this nation So if I'm gonna talk to those people and I'm gonna say hey, what do you guys need to do stop playing around You guys don't fear God Take control of your home and you will take control of the nation One of the things that Muslims believe they like look we will outbreed you We will have your nation because we have more kids Like Where are they getting this principle from Like what happened in Egypt The Al-Brettum But it was covenant faithfulness to God that allowed them to leave with the plunders of Egypt Pastor you can give a better Come on, we need that Hammond we need that virtual I was looking for it. I couldn't find it You can give your offerings At crosspaltic.com Really quick I'm not a pastor either but in our church What we say and we here's a fun stat for that was just given a couple weeks ago from the pulpit from my pastor One every nine days a new baby was born in our congregation. Okay. We've grown from 450 to about a thousand people in three and a half years Nine days that's that's a Lucas Listen listen in Lucas County if you go look at the record of deeds 8% of the people born in Lucas County where our church sits was born in our church Okay, so the election might not go our way tonight. God is sovereign But guess what we're going how many people are you inviting into your home every week from the church? Are you having children? Are you baptizing them? We are tending to the church our shepherds are tending the sheep We're going to do this from the bottom up. Yes, we go from the top down and we make sure we get the politicians in and the men In the office that we need to but it's a yes and it's not one or the other We're doing we're doing both and that's how our young men and our church feel You just gave that whole beautiful speech and outbreeding. Yeah, that's what we're doing too We are being fruitful and multiplying in the churches growing and from that the community grows and when I say 8% of the people born in a Local municipalities from our church that that's the that's the game right there That is the game we are raising up Christians and future politicians and elected leaders in the way of the Lord under covenant thinking generationally Tonight really means nothing in the grand scheme of generation and you guys are the experts on that across politics and preaching that Years before anyone was talking about that. Okay, so I'm just saying I agree with you and you said it much more better than I did nox But yeah, yes, I mean I just add I mean I agree with You guys exactly spot on I think the other thing to to in terms of you know responding to something like this is you want to constantly Help your people Keep their eye on the big picture. I mean this this is like this is like one Bad play in a football game You know, so it's like this is like what you know, it's like and if you get down On that one play then that can that mess is yeah, that can really mess with you for multiple plays But if you're if you're if you understand the game, you know, yeah, you you have a bad plan You get back up and you get back in the game and you need to zoom out and you think like okay, wait a second So two thousand years ago our our Lord Jesus rose from the dead And he told 11 guys I want you to tell the whole world that I'm risen from the dead I am its rightful king and your job is to disciple all of the nations 11 guys with no iPhone 11 guys with no iPhones no airplanes no airplanes no car They they live in an empire a pagan empire so true in which they have no they have no votes about anything and and they all of them most of them um pay for this message with their lives and And what happens 300 years later the emperor is professing Jesus Christ um then go, you know, and then it's like you know 500 years later most of Europe is professing Christ A thousand years later, you know, it's like they've done these like really awesome YouTube maps Just showing the growth of the gospel and it's like so yeah, are we in a are we in a in a in a valley? Yes, we're in a valley. Are we in a place where um the west is turning its back on Christ? Yes Are we in a in a time where we we have a lot of giants in the land? Yes You know what um The gospel is spreading Um and the kingdom is going forth the gates of Hades don't stand a chance against it And um and and you need to like remember like what god does um I think missionary biographies are one of the things that Christians need to read regularly Yes, but you like you think about like um these missionaries particularly in the um You know 17th century 18th century there was this massive explosion of missions particularly out of Scotland um reform Baptist reformed Presbyterians working together Uh the Puritan hope is a great book if you're not read it and you need to read it um They believed that that that the gospel was going to spread to the ends of the earth They believed that because Jesus sent us to disciple the nations that meant that Jesus intended for us to actually disciple the nations And so they went they went in full faith and expectation and they went into lands where there was not another Christian there Hmm And and they and they and they They spent their lives for the for the gospel one of my favorite ones is uh John G Peyton John G Peyton was a Scottish uh Presbyterian uh who went to the new Hebrides And when he got there this is a uh a cannibal you know full of cannibalistic tribes Um completely superstitious, you know uh they whenever a man died um they buried alive his wife or wives with him um like completely pagan And he preaches the gospel preaches the gospel preaches the gospel and um 100 years later um the the islands are covered in Presbyterian churches Hey man today today. Yeah Um and you can you can meet the the the the the children and the grandchildren of people that were converted under his uh missionary work um in the 1800s late late 1800s early 1900s um But i think like you need to read a few missionary biographies and then get up you like and And if and if you're state like if Virginia enshrined the rights abortion then tomorrow you get up and you get on your knees And you tell the Lord Jesus that you know that that's wicked and heinous You ask you crowd for his mercy and then you ask God to um to empower the gospel going forward and then you you dry your eyes stand in your feet and say Jesus is king And and his people have faced way darker moments than this and and uh and and christ wins and uh and uh and then you get busy doing what noxan Greg just said man the most the most political thing we can do is pray and sing songs um it's not that we don't vote we vote we get out and we of course we do basic things and lift it off to god but but god moves because We're seeking him Um god moves because we're we're calling on him to intervene in our You know we've been talking recently. We're doing a scented doc on on covid in our in Moscow And we were talking through it and one of the things that that struck me is like We got our victory here in Moscow against our city um because god gave it to us all we did was sing songs We didn't we didn't we didn't have a single guy in the city council. We didn't have a city a single guy The cops were against us. Yeah You know uh we had you know we sang songs. They arrested three people And two days later we went back and sang songs again and there wasn't a cop and god granted the victory. Yeah Gated tell me he really liked that prison pudding now it was it was good I still talk to him. He still talks about yeah Um but you know it's your point in the game about songs and I think that's one of the things too I would say um pastors teacher people to sing the songs Because I think one of the things that has made modern Christians so weak and so cowardly Is it's it's almost like we're surprised and shocked When we have enemies But if you sing the songs Like every song is about enemies like every single song and it's like They're surrounding me oh god and they're about to kill me. I need you to act now. Yeah, okay Turn the page next song. They're still surrounding me help quick I need you to deliver me now turn the page next song help they're like lions you need to fight It's like if you sing the songs you're not surprised but it's it's it's like we you know I think we have been we've been we've been um Marinating in a very truncated gospel Um that does it's not it's not whole bible it's in in the Psalms or you know just you have little snippets of the the happy um Feel good um versus Um and so gods people are surprised and shocked when you have enemies But like if you're if you're immersed in the Psalms like of course you have enemies do the enemies sometimes seem to be winning Yeah, of course. Yeah, that's how it works. It's like you know, it's like when you when you uh It's like going to a football game again. I'll just use that analogy and it's like you know um If you go to a game like you expect for the other team Um to actually stop some of your plays You you expect for the other team to sometimes score on you like this is what they do And and if you and if you get all demoralized because they scored like um What did you expect i mean this this is what this is what happens and i think the Psalms teach God's people to have a kind of mental and spiritual toughness and say yeah Um Sometimes they gain ground sometimes they take background sometimes we're on the run and but then the Psalm teaches us to crowd to God The standard ground and keep fighting all right Blaine in here. We're gonna take a little break because i know everyone's gotta go to the bathroom real quick But then we're gonna talk uh with blaine about Idaho and some of the other things so we got some commercials We're gonna play for about uh four minutes uh bathroom break and we'll see you guys back here in about four to five minutes Life changes fast Her ears grow families grow And with that come more decisions Most of us were never taught how the pieces are supposed to work together What should we save what should we protect And how do we know we're headed in the right direction At dominion wealth strategists we meet you where you are We help you understand your options And build a plan around your goals so you can make financial decisions with confidence And a framework shaped by the values you're living by Because the goal isn't simply to accumulate wealth Is to steward what God has given us wisely Who will have purpose?

Oh this Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026 It's going to be with you guys You know um I think Republicans are eating some crow The vape just lost in Ohio by 5% Um, that looks like that's a declared election. So right now here's what you have at the governors Race so far. They're still you know Nevada Idaho war again. How to start a reporting California Roughly just started reporting, but we know they're going left anyways But what you see nation-ride right now 18 Democrats have won the governorship including Texas in Ohio And uh and apparently Georgia Georgia might have a leftist uh democrat governor And then you have 11 governors who've been basically declared victory Right now uh that's at the house now at the house level so far What you've Had declared roughly. There's still a bunch of states that haven't reported but 142 Democrats For the house and 84 Republicans uh for the house so far. There's still a lot more than he's reported on that but basically you have a big A big um There on the center side on the center You have with the states that are reporting and roughly declared winners now most of these percentages haven't Haven't all sunk in but um uh you got 47 Democrats for the Senate and 37 Um Republicans uh that have you know by percentage roughly declared to win their elections so far Um I want to bring in uh we'll bring in blame here in a minute uh Greg's got a little bit of a couple minutes left with us Um so kind of Greg I just kind of rattled off some numbers there um it looks like we're gonna have You know a flip in the house Is the Senate still up for grabs um you know what's what's happening Yeah, it's looking like a Looking like a pretty bleak night for Republicans overall But I mean we kind of do this right I mean it was the polling and we're kind of predicting it Here here in my state looks like we're gonna Keep a corrupt secretary of state and make her the governor and looks like we're gonna uh also elect the senator who openly supports the Muslim brotherhood as well um But yeah, I mean you guys talked about it in the last segment uh We get exactly who we deserve um God's judgment says so says as much in Isaiah as we were talking about earlier But also there's silver lining to this as well too um the next generation coming up uh and also Look at we're gonna do what we do be fruitful and multiply We're gonna we're gonna keep um Attending church and preaching the gospel and loving our neighbor and doing all those things And we fight for another day But um Yeah, it's some of these some of these numbers I didn't expect I mean some of these conservative states too and just even Texas That's pretty crazy Texas blow my mind there too um I want to bring blame Consotti into the into the program blame is in Boise Idaho Kind of the real the big interests in our interest in this election Is proposition one which is basically trying to and trying to abortion into our our Idaho constitution And then of course, us locally we have the uh the levy that we're against here in in our city Um, those are kind of the two biggest interests. I do have some uh Uh some of our local elections here at county level are really important for us. It looks like lord willing Those will go conservative. This could be our first time to have a full conservative county commissioner and probably 20 years some like that so that's It's possible um and uh and then colton Bennett Lord Willan Hill will represent us in Boise and then that means we'd have a full um District conservative representation than a Boise who's actually conservative because Lori Lori McKean Colton beat And everything she wasn't really the conservative but she ran as conservative so we got a couple interesting questions that blame Yeah talk to us. What's going on in Idaho? Hey guys, it's gonna be with you. Thanks for having me. I appreciate it Well, as you said Gabe we got prop one on the ballot. That is the big race this election cycle here in Idaho That's really driving turnout. We didn't know you know six months ago when we were modeling turnout to try to figure out How many votes we needed to get to defeat prop one? We didn't know what turnout would look like right We didn't have a competitive governor's race. We didn't have any competitive senate races at that time Of course, that's uh changed even a little bit in the last month or so out here in Idaho With an independent running against senator Jim Rish So we didn't know what voter turnout was going to look like But we are seeing very very high voter turnout We heard from the Ada County clerk of elections earlier today that he expects voter turnout in Ada County, which is a county that boise is in the capital city Ada County could reach voter turnout as high as 65 even 70 percent Which is just crazy to think about midterm election and prop one seems to be driving those voters to the polls You know we're confident. We're gonna win I'm happy at this point to dive into the polling data We've been keeping that top secret now for months, but we know we're gonna win this man So we are excited. We're trusting God for the victory So what do you mean? Talk to us about the polling data Yeah, so I'll tell you where we started where we started back in February we were effectively tied On proposition one tied yes vote no vote about 43 percent for both And we've been doing polling at first every month since then and then every couple weeks for the last couple months of the election And we've been consistently at you know between 15 and 20 percentage points above the yes vote on prop one Which which means we're gonna defeat this thing and my goal guys is that we defeat this thing so overwhelmingly so You know resoundingly that the pro choicers the pro-vorsionists never come to Idaho again And never try anything like this again, right? We want to show them that this is a state that's gonna stand for life And that we're not gonna tolerate them bringing money from out of state billionaires like Michael Bloomberg or Jamie Lee Curtis To try to impose a blue state abortion agenda on Idaho Is the is the voter turnout blane as far as you can tell I mean I know we've got a wait till we have results, but it will blame my already have results down in his country because because they close at eight And he's an hour ahead of us maybe so I'm just curious blad I mean is the voter turnout is it also trending Strongly no, I mean is it is it is it is it the Christians and the conservatives? Are they being a kind of rallied to show up because of prop one So we don't know yet how the people who had absentee ballots or who voted early how they voted on prop one We won't know that until the election results start coming in probably in the next five to ten minutes from Ada County and the subject part of the state um that said we do know who's showing up to vote and Republicans are really showing up in absentee and early voting Which is kind of a shock for us here in Idaho Republicans tend to wait for you know the day of election to show up to their polling place to vote So we think it's a really good sign that Republicans are disproportionately showing up early that means the excitement is really on our side And that this is a good turnout mechanism for Republican voters which you know compared to what we were Worried might happen six months ago nine months ago. That's a really good sign for tonight I told the guys earlier when we were talking about proposition one that I and I could be I know I'm Maybe someone in a bubble, but I just I've like I heard virtually nothing From The pro proposition one people like it's been like crickets And I and I would have thought like and maybe there's certain areas where you know And maybe they just know not to target me and so maybe I'm not getting any of those ads or whatever. I've seen a couple Um, I think I caught my first pro proposition one ads Maybe it like during my Monday night football game their night or something like I don't remember what it was but it was like um So like I've caught a little bit, but just in terms of like overall um vibe It's felt like a very very very strong no prop one enthusiasm And and and and movement and and so on and very very little from the other side Is that just am I just in a bubble or do you think that's that's actually accurate? Well, you know, I think across the state the yes on prop one campaign has been investing a lot of money into advertisements Lot of money into micro targeting Our stop prop one campaign raised $4.7 million and we put almost all that money into tv ads Radio ads and micro targeted streaming ads. They raised $4.7 million. They've spent most of that So you know, they're heavily targeting the Boise metro area Sun Valley, which is a very liberal part of the state and central Idaho and then north Idaho Especially like sandpoint area, which is also known for being pretty liberal That's where they're investing most of their money because they know that if they're gonna if they're gonna win this They're gonna have to do it in those three areas. So um, I yeah, I think I think it depends on what region you're from whether or not You're seeing a lot of pro prop one advertising or not I would have thought that Moscow or late talk county would have been another one of those little blue spots You know, and I and I've seen you know, there's some yard signs around here um, you know that kind of thing But it just it just hasn't felt overwhelming. I don't know. Yeah Well, honestly, Toby I think they've drunk their own coolate They really thought that they could get away with this they thought that they could you know, get a whole bunch of out of state billionaires Like Mike Bloomberg to drop a bunch of money into Idaho and turn this and they did right yeah and tried to turn the state blue through this process It's totally backfire on them. We've seen this in the polling The more that Idaho voters saw the vote yes on prop one advertisements The less Idaho voters wanted to vote yes on prop one So that backfire it on them, you know, I think they greatly overestimated where Idaho voters were at in terms of expanding abortion access You know, we've been doing polling on this for years now at iFPC and we've consistently held especially with our heartbeat bill at about 67% support 68% support among like the Idaho voters for our heartbeat bill um, the defensive life act which creates criminal penalties is a little bit less than that But even so, you know, a strong majority of Idaho voters support the defensive life act Um, and so Idaho voters are generally pro-life, you know There's a large LDS population out here. They support rape and incisive exceptions We have those loopholes in our laws that ultimately need to be dealt with But generally speaking, I think Idaho voters support where we're at with our pro-life laws and I don't think you know the the pro prop one advocates um Did a did a fair assessment of where they were starting from um, I totally think they drank their own coolate And that's gonna come back to bite them tonight Super hope uh blaine where's where's um a website that I can follow for Idaho elections. What's a good one? Yeah, so the Idaho Secretary of State has all the official results. It's vote Idaho.gov vote Idaho.gov And you'll be able to see all the results there Blaine what else is going on in the state? I mean no proposition ones the big one But what else are you watching? Yeah, so we have a couple constitutional amendments that are on the ballot this election cycle the first is hg r4 which would prohibit legalizing drugs through citizen ballot initiative We've seen this problem um in Oregon especially where they decriminalize all drugs several years back And that caused a whole host of problems for their society anyone who's been a portland Know so much of a failure that policy has been and so our state legislature referred to the ballot this proposed constitutional amendment That would prohibit citizen ballot initiative efforts to legalize drugs We're hoping that passes and then there's also hg r6 Which is a constitutional amendment to make English the official language for the state of Idaho requiring all public proceedings and documents and government instructions to be in English Um, and you know, this is a good way for us to make clear that we're not going to tolerate the invasion of illegals That we've seen in so many other states over the last 10-15 years now So hoping that that passes as well, but you know the big big race and what seems to be driving people out is proposition one Lane what about um, I know that you know as I am on the board with you at iipc. I know that you work and your team your staff work with legislatures During the legislative session um What what is what are those races looking like and how does that So far what you think um is shaping up um, and maybe we're waiting to see results But you know, what are your thoughts there on the the makeup of the legislature next term Yeah, so Idaho is generally speaking a very red state and so most of those major elections actually take place during the primary season We lost a significant number of conservatives this last primary cycle So right now we're just watching a few races um, you know up in Moscow Colton's race is big and if Colton's able to pull that out that'll be great And then east Idaho is another place where the liberal democrats are starting to take background And even the moderates out there have had a really hard time getting reelected So there's a chance we might lose a couple seats Republicans might lose a couple seats out in east Idaho We're paying attention to those I don't think you know Those are really going to determine the balance of power here in Idaho or even the balance of legislative leadership Um, like I said most of that took place during the primary season Got it Interesting plan are you watching um, I know I know your eyes are obviously on prop one and on Idaho But I know you also are friends with a number of other fall um people presidents of Family policy centers around the country Um Thoughts on the the big picture in terms of um the United States the map um, you know, a lot of the polls were predicting uh kind of a blue wave Um, that's typical in um, this you know midterm elections And so maybe not that surprising, but I'm curious just you know What are what are you seeing and what are your thoughts on you know, what's going on in other states and just across the map Yeah, I do think it's typical. I think this blue wave stands to be more aggressive than previous midterms elections um, you know, I think I was watching the polling results come in as I was getting ready to To come on the show with you guys and it seems like Dems are overperforming the polls everywhere You know generally speaking Dems are just Locked down in ways that I don't think anyone who watches polls closely would have expected So it's gonna be a big big blue wave tonight for sure What are your thoughts on we one of these we've been kicking around here and and uh, you know Greg or nox or anybody should feel free to chime in and this is well We've just been kicking around like you know, so um, it's one thing to kind of have like a maybe something of a You know, usually it's the other party that kind of surges in the midterm elections. That's that's pretty much to be expected But some of these are you know as you said seem like that's more than just a surge It's a it's a bigger wave Gaves over here. We're trying to keep them from crying about Texas unbelievable How they call the game? How they called it? Yeah, they they've called The at least the the Senate race Guy What did you call them earlier? I mean Tallahfreco they gave Tallahfreco the checkbox. Yeah, with 67% reporting So it just depends on the call this rule Looks like at it lost also Just as bad I mean Anyways 15 points separate my question those one of the things we've been kicking around is um, I mean what what do you um How do you account for the maybe even more pronounced Blue reaction what what are some of your thoughts? Why do things is happening blind? I mean ultimately it's got judgment on our nation Right and I recognize that we need to repet and we need to go back to the Lord and seek him and uh, you know Turned back from our wicked ways right that's that's really what we're seeing and I think We can analyze this every which way from a political perspective and the politicals are gonna do that But we got to remember that these are spiritual battles and right now We are not making the progress that we had hoped to make so that's the bottom line You know doubt saw a virginia passed uh an amendment to enshrine abortion into their constitution Yeah, yeah, if I saw that not surprise um pretty unfortunate I will say and you know it it doesn't matter for any of the babies that are murdered through abortion But our proposition here in Idaho is more radical than the one that was proposed in virginia So the virginia one allows abortion up to about 28 weeks of pregnancy If proposition one here in Idaho were to pass that would allow abortion up to 35 36 37 weeks of pregnancy So you know getting into the eighth even ninth month of pregnancy So uh the Idaho abortion ballot initiative is far more extreme than any of the other ones that are on the ballot and any of a state The selection cycle which again goes to show you how much the democrats have overplayed their hand here in Idaho But unfortunately for virginia Um, you know, they're gonna have a really radical abortion regime Uh, so I just have to ask you there's two things two questions. I have one of them is You know somebody who works in the in the reign of politics What is the messaging that you think we need to have over the next two years at least in Idaho Um, I think that's really important right now and the other one is What do you think is going to be The fallout over the next two years as we get ready for presidential election Yeah, so our message at ifpc to state legislators and statewide elected officials here in Idaho is that you know We we have to take the opportunities that god has given us Again as much ground as we can while we have the opportunity available to us We can't take our foot off the gas if we're not going to do bold biblical, you know Pro-God pro-family pro-faith policy reforms in Idaho. We're not going to be able to do it anywhere Both i think that's the perfect You know everything from you know protecting religious freedom uh strengthening our pro-life laws We've seen a 99.7 percent reduction in the legal statewide elective abortion rights since the harpy logic effect The few years back But there are still you know a day loose a black market chemical abortion pills that are flooding our state We got to address that we got to eliminate some of the loopholes in our pro-life laws that we have currently But also, you know just really bold pro-family reforms getting rid of commercial surrogacy is a big one Right commercial surrogacy right now is huge Especially in a state like Idaho where you have a lot of immigrants coming in from Eastern Europe or from Asia Mostly gay men and they are buying babies Through commercial surrogacy and then taking those babies back to their home countries with American citizenship There's a whole bunch of issues found up in that We got to care of that you know, so Idaho is a strong leader on these issues But we need to become the leader in the nation and we need to take advantage of the opportunities that God has given us with uh, you know, ruby red Idaho right Greg I want to hear Greg's take on that question There's a set there's a second part that question which was is if this is a judgment and I believe you're right do you think that You know the next two years what does it look like for the presidency then? I mean we're gonna have a lame duck presidency nox. I mean there's no doubt about it And we have to adjust our expectations accordingly, but we have to start planning for the future and building up a Christian movement right our nation was founded upon biblical ideas It was founded upon men who were willing to sacrifice and to do whatever it took to ensure that our kids would inherit the torch of Christian freedom And we got to start building that movement more intentionally One thing that we have a problem with as we meet with donors on our side This is in Idaho. This is really a cross-nation. There are so few Republican donors who understand the importance of building up institutions and building up movements Um, we want to invest a lot of money into candidates But you know really for us to have a sustainable biblical political movement in Idaho and in our nation We need to build up those institutions that will make that change possible Is and I guess money is like one of the biggest things Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know the Democrats religion or politics is their religion right and they invest all of their money into it They care about building pipelines of talent and you know putting together You know long-term strategies of how they're going to affect cultural change and building institutions to make it happen training candidates for office And we've got to start doing that again on the conservative side You know the Reagan movement did a really good job of building up some of those pipelines That's gone away in recent years and we got to build those up again Malgay, do you have a question? I'm reading through Joseph back homes Um, we're seeing it Man, he should have been on we should get him on Well, I would just say very quickly. I had to laugh when I heard uh, it described that when um People in Idaho heard other people from outside of Idaho telling them how to vote on a ballot initiative They said, oh, yeah, well then I'm gonna do the opposite. That's so Idaho I love that That's so like yeah, you're gonna tell me how do you not even from here? How about that? But just just to follow up on that because I do have to take off guys You know, I really would like to see and I I agree with everything that joman said. I'm sorry. Your name is Lane, Lane, thank you I agree with everything he said there. I would really like to see the church stop being apathetic about politics in general You know what I mean in some of the wind have been taken out of the sales with the christian nationalism debate and in the splits within that and things like that We really need to unify around who do we serve? Do we serve God? There's no neutral ground obviously your pastors and and and Doug Wilson and all those guys have been talking about it for years And I totally agree we see apathy within the church giving up. Oh well, what are we gonna do? It's God's judgment Well, no, we turn around we pick ourselves up like Toby was talking about earlier wipe the tears from our eyes and we say okay We move forward and we do it from both bottom up and top down um and and that does include money and that does include supporting christian brothers who are running for office That that includes going out in door knocking for them and raising money for them and giving them resources to get them in positions To go this is going to be a nation that serves God and it is both top down and bottom up I know I keep saying that but it's a yes and it both of those prongs have to be working 100% the next two years going to be lame duck. We know that It's gonna be very interesting going into that and I can't hardly wait to be back on in two years to discuss it You guys have always been so generous to me I love that you asked me to come and talk with you. I do have to take off But if you're in this group if you're watching this stream now and you're not listening cross-politic You better go follow you better go like them you listen to them That's where you're gonna get all your premium both the theological and political information love you guys man I'm out of here It's a lot of like show is good because of Greg Great No they're fantastic. You're awesome man. We always appreciate you. So thank you You're grateful for you. You're gonna work and keep having those babies. Hey man and bad guys do it That's right. Dead man walking. That's right. That's right Man Basically, let's just kind of finish up here. Idaho's kind of the last state that I really care about I mean we got California and some of these other states, but I'm right now the The results when the reproduction act Proposition one is what we call it is um, I mean no major results. I mean right now there's 73,000 votes four Proposition one and 49,000 votes against proposition one So you got a 60 40, but most of the results have been the Boise area And you'll see those Once you get to the rural counties that'll change pretty quickly and Once you get up to court of lane and everything so keep running. It's not locked in but No, not all I mean that's uh, yeah Keep trying. We're gonna win this thing though. Gabe. We're gonna win this Idaho's gonna be a bright spot for the Reservation on this you know, no other state is gonna be able to defeat Proabortion ballot initiative or constitutional amendment the selections cycle and certainly in the congressional and state legislative races and gubernatorial races cross-country. We're gonna shlack, but we're gonna hold we're gonna hold the ground when it comes to protect There's pro bon life in the womb. There's eight of county 100% reported eight of county. That's blinds county. I blame blame for this. Yeah, that's right 62% voted yes 37 voted no But those are the biggest counties biggest populations right in the United and in Idaho uh, blind county 83% yes 16% no Honor county right now. This is bonner county. So this is a standpoint right Right plain. Yep. This is standpoint 54% yes 45% no Yeah, but Gabe all three of those counties are the liberal counties that I mentioned earlier where the yes campaign was really investing all those resources And running all those ads so you know, blame counties the super liberal Sun Valley area You know sand points very liberal boys. Yeah, obviously. It's very liberal once you get outside of those areas We're going to clean house. It's just red. No, that's true Qtany lane Even late talking. I mean, it hasn't important anything but Nez pierce is pretty neck and neck. That's the Lewiston area Um, what? Nez pierce Lewiston area they are saying Somehow I just scrolled away from it 34 out of 34 Precincts have reported For Nez pierce and it's 50% yes 49% no Interesting What kind of county is that 400 votes versus 23 80 votes Yeah, virtually know it interesting Well, I agree I I am inclined to believe that we're winning we're winning two tonight blaine and our prayer has been similar to what you actually said Which is that it would go down in flames That it would be the kind of defeat that would Would really put our enemies to shame and And cause them to be so embarrassed that they will not come back And and so I I'm that's what our prayer has been and I'm hoping that that's what we see tonight Amen amen Well, we would say this regardless if we if we felt good about some of these elections We would still say this you know some trusting chariot some trusting horses, but we trust in Lord our God right We don't put our faith in politics We actually we absolutely put our hands into it. We want to vote. We want to help we want to love our neighbor All that stuff, but um, we always want our deliverance from God. I always want to think like Gideon I always want to think like David. I always want to think like hey It's so God's deliverance is so obvious in my life is his it's always his and everything Comments yeah, I mean That's I think that's a lot easier to say when you're winning of course Right, I think when you're winning that's a lot easier to say I think it's been proven that over the last two years Where we think we have the power at we have no power at Right like we've had house we've had the Senate we've been Republican down the row and and yet and still there's no power there and I think it's because we've placed You know all of our power somewhere else than where it actually is our strongest I am the Lord of my house I can implement Institution the law immediately when I go home and it will be done And my family will love it. You got to run for office. There's there's no votes Right, I'm I'm Lord King daddy over there. Okay, um, and so like and and that's not to be funny I'm actually being very serious that is a real government and we don't believe that that's a real government But it is a real government. There are real laws there. There are real implications there I've said this I'm going to keep saying until we get in our head The family is the seminary for the rest of society From that point everything else flows out We have all the power right there and a lot of the things that we're convinced about Is that our power is somewhere else that doesn't mean we don't vote But that's just one of the uh one of the governments that operate We still have the church government we have the self-government and then we have family governor So we got these four that have real power And one of the things about the church is that the church is to bring covenant lawsuit against the places that are not honoring god And you and your family get to help do the same thing We forget where the power is and it doesn't it doesn't Whether we would have had a red run tonight or we had a blue run tonight. We've had red runs. They've been so good Which is why we're having a blue run So your power wasn't there anyway And that should be evident by what's happening that that's not where the power is And we've neglected and this is why I appreciate what blames that because that's what he's trying to do Restore the power back to the home That's where the power is that's where things happen And so if we can get that right and we can structure our homes right This whole thing is so kiddie wampus right now And there's there's no power But Man don't forget When the priesthood was destroyed When man were honoring god the nation was at fault Hannah pray to god for a son And that is where the power came from for a prophet that would prophesy Thus see at the Lord to the nation and from that we get king david From that we get Solomon Don't forget that's the things that changed the nations and so like Having your people Who are called by god's name humble themselves and pray Like that's where your real power is in structuring your home And we need to remember that whether we win or lose that should always be our message But clearly when we lose we need to be reminded It wasn't that's not where the power is anyway Two two things just to piggyback on the point that you're making nox one That I always remember and I and I used it Um in in the homily that I gave at my in my son's wedding two years ago But when I was going out to Virginia For his for his wedding nox you said so you're going to form a new government So and uh and I and I I always remember that and I and I used that in my homily actually for for that wedding But I um because you're absolutely right You're absolutely right that every wedding is the forming of a new government So um and every every child is a new citizen of that government and um and if and if you're not practicing That Christian government in your home Then you are part of the problem. That's right That's right you you cannot complain about what happens You know in your local elections or the county elections or the state elections or the national elections If your own government is not in order You know if if you're you know if your wife is not thriving Um because of your love and your care for her If your kids are not thriving Because of your love and your care for them and your discipline and your teaching them and the Christian education you're providing for them If your if your own family government is not thriving Um then then you know like you don't need to go to you don't have to wait for another election To work on right come on now you you got you got you can get work on that now That's right like nobody's stopping you and you can get tomorrow and you can work on it And you can get up on Thursday and you can work on it and you can get up on Friday and you can work on it Um like that's a government that no one is holding you back from But that you can work on um and and that's that's so so important um The other story that i was going to tell that just as an example of this is as somebody told me on on On Sunday uh that um you know because we've we've been talking about it regularly in church All the prop one stuff and this this young dad told me that i think is um i think his son Uh I think he's three um he's he said my my son um said you know sort was like like so when do i get to vote dad And and uh and he was like well you know you can't actually vote till you to your 18 and he was like What See i don't get to vote no on killing babies And like this three year old boy was already like take me to the polls right now And and again like that's like i'm i can't get yeah Yeah, he actually said he was like and he grabbed his sword and his shield and i was like i'm ready to go Because i know there's people that other one to kill babies, you know and and like but like there's an example of It's both and like it's like yeah you vote But like you're you're you're training up your son you're training up your kids and they're um They're they're part of that program that like that's that's an example of what we're talking about like your government is in order Um when when your kids your young kids know like where you stand That your your governments in order when they're on your team already um i like to use the example of um You know thinking and acting covenantally Uh Joshua um, you know the famous, you know christian refrigerator verse as for me in my house We will serve the lord and i think we sometimes just think really narrowly narrowly about that It's like, you know mom and a dad and you know two kids and that means you know we're christians Well, look, that's a good start, but remember when Joshua says that he's an old man the house He's a house he's like 110 he's like almost about to die. Yeah, which means he's got at least probably great grandkids If not great great-great-grandkids And that's a lot of people i mean if you assume like you know normal birthing rates like you know We're talking about hundreds of people so when he says as for me in my house It's not like mom dad and three kids small city small town yeah um and um and i always i like to say like He's not just like saying that He's saying that because he knows that He's saying that because he knows like like if he had gotten up and like if joshua was going to senile and he got up and said uh I'm we're gonna serve bail like He would have been like the the stage would have been completely crowded with all his descendants coming down and pulling grandpa off the stage and saying Shout out grandpa You're crazy we're serving the lord um to to make sure that your um your Your people your government is in order and to represent your government well is to know that like they they agree with you And they're gonna hold you accountable So Amen Well very good uh anything else before we close blame any last words from you yeah i'll add one thing nox um you know i think With our news media being so nationalized in recent years We're paying so much attention what's going on at the federal level what's going on to presidency congress You know key congressional races across the united states and we so often neglect what we can do locally Right and i'm sure you guys have talked about this that you know our real responsibility is to Those that god has placed in our immediate care and that includes first and foremost our local Our families of course our churches our local communities Um and we got to do what we can At the level of government where we can have the greatest influence and the greatest impact and that's the local government right So you know christians have really turned their attention in national politics in recent years And i think we need to turn our attention back to the local level once again Because that's where god gives us the greatest opportunity to make the biggest impact for him Amen Amen thanks mine thanks for all your work on yeah proposition one and all your work in Idaho Yes brother yeah man You know we got you know we got you Yep appreciate you cheers Um so basically over the over the next month we're we're playing on doing about a show a week as we're able yeah kind of into christmas And uh so make sure you guys be tuning in on on Tuesdays.

I'm making another bad analogy It's like if somebody puts sprite in in your in your in your bourbon. That's what it's like it's like Sprite in your bourbon and in your lemon juice and you know, it's just bad. It's just it feels horrible You know, right? The lemon juice is us and the bourbon is And then You're throwing sushi and then it's like you didn't have it What is it down Yeah, great way I'm gonna defend Gabe here because I think he's exact I think he just described everything that does happen exactly right Yeah, thank you I think he described it exactly right. I mean Gabe usually does have a good point I just wasn't sure exactly how the image was communicating that good. I mean, I assume you have a good point I mean that usually is Everyone looking out saying You know, what's crazy? I don't know if that makes us crazy or you crazy the fact that we knew exactly what you are Well, all right, you're gonna close this out Yeah, if you're single get marriage married have you a bunch of kids and if you have kids go baptize them until next time Love God with all your hearts soul mind and strength.
