Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 322 | It Ain't Over

Episode Date: November 4, 2020

There's still a lot of ground to cover before America will know for sure who its next president will be. It seems Democrats are on track to retake Michigan and Wisconsin, but the Left can't understand why their policy plans don't result in landslide victories. Trump's numbers among the black and Hispanic communities improved from 2016, leading Democrats to trot out their tired old excuse: racism. And, regardless of who wins the 2020 elections, there are reasons for Christians and conservatives to remain hopeful about the future of the nation.

Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Wednesday. Happy day after the election. So obviously you guys know this episode did not come out when it usually does on the listening site. It comes out first thing in the morning. But what good would an episode be that I recorded yesterday and that came out this morning without any analysis of the things that happened last night?

And so I'm going to go through some of the things that happened in the election, some of the things that are still happening, why so many people on both sides of the aisle are freaking out, why there are some rumors of fraud, some surprising numbers, and why I feel good, even though I don't know the results of the presidential election. I'm actually pleasantly surprised. I went to bed at midnight last night, feeling good about everything. I woke up this morning feeling good about everything, even though there's a lot of contentious things going on and we're going to go through some of that. And I'll talk a little bit more

about why I think there is a reason for conservatives and especially conservative Christians to be comforted about the state of the election right now. So Trump had a pretty good night. I mean, if you were on the pessimistic side of this and you were listening to the polls and you were watching the news, you were thinking this is going to be a landslide for the left. I mean, definitely the past five years since Trump announced his candidacy. It's been an onslaught of negative media attention towards Trump, especially while he's been president. And then especially since the coronavirus started, it has been nonstop peddled to the metal,

negative coverage of Donald Trump and his incompetent leadership. And so we were told that this was going to be a blue wave, that there was absolutely, no way that Joe Biden could lose because this is the most unlikable, the most incompetent, the dumbest candidate that we could ever have in Donald Trump. And so of course, good old Uncle Joe is going to lose or is going to win. That's what we were told. And I'll be honest, I kind of bought into that a little bit, obviously not believing those negative things about Trump, but thinking, okay, the hatred towards Trump, the vitriol towards this candidate really does seem unprecedented, even more than it was four years ago, I actually think that there might be some kind of blue

wave for Joe Biden. It's not because I thought that Joe Biden think that Joe Biden is a compelling candidate at all. Obviously, he's not. I still hold to the position that no one is really for Joe Biden. There's a lot of people against Donald Trump. And so I just thought that the hatred against Donald Trump was going to end, maybe not in a blue wave, but in a better night for Democrats. And So that's why I kind of feel good because no matter how you shake this, this was a much worse night for Democrats than Democrats themselves anticipated and certainly the Democratic media anticipated. That much is true. When Trump finally won Florida, I mean, we knew that he won Florida early in the night. For some reason, some media outlets refused to report on that.

But when they finally called Florida, I said, okay, this is actually going to be interesting. We knew that Florida would probably go red, but you never know. It's a contentious state. Obviously, there are a lot of electoral votes there. It's the state that both candidates want at the beginning of the night. And it could have really gone either way. What was interesting about that is that Trump performed so much better than he did four years ago. And what is typically a very liberal county, Miami-Dade County. And the reason for that is because a lot of Cuban-American supported Trump.

Why? Because they've watched the Democratic Party shift so far to the left and start echoing so much of the social justice, socialistic rhetoric that they heard back in Cuba. And so they are hearing echoes of the dictatorship of Fidel Castro. They know what communism is like. And when they see people on the left, even if it's not Joe Biden himself, but Kamala Harris putting out a video the other day that's saying equity means equality of outcomes, that is communism. When they hear things like that, when they hear Bernie Sanders, who is on the Joe Biden Unity Task Force, talking, about socialized health care, talking about reconfiguring the suburbs in a way that ensures

equality of outcome, Cuban Americans realize, okay, that sounds eerily similar to what we heard in Cuba that ran the country into the ground. We don't want that again. And of course, you have Democratic pundits here and you've got a left-wing activist on Twitter saying, oh, Cuban Americans, they've just been propagandized. They don't understand. No, let me tell you, the person who has been a beneficiary of capitalism in America, how great communism and socialism actually is, you refugees from a communist country. It's amazing how patronizing the left becomes towards these minority and immigrant groups that don't end up aligning with their dogma. There was a lady last night who says that she is also a Cuban American. She is some kind of

left-wing activist. And she actually said, okay, her name is Andrea Elpino Silva. And she's got a blue check mark. She said she's a movement scholar. And she is co-founder of an organization to end rape on campus, which that sounds great.

But also her heard bio says that she would like to abolish la policea. So that's where she stands on things. Here's what she tweeted about the Cuban vote in Florida going for Donald Trump. She said that Cubans have been sold a narrative that they have a guaranteed path to whiteness. And many will sell out every other minority

to get at Trump's appeal is the appeal of white supremacy. So the reason why Cubans voted for Trump, according to this left-wing activist, is not because Trump had an appealing message of economic opportunity, of freedom, of fundamental human rights, things that are denied to Cubans on a daily basis. the reason why so many Cubans have fled here for freedom.

It's not because of that. It's because these Cuban Americans who are not white have been appealed to by white supremacy. Now, how many mental hoops do you have to jump through to get to that conclusion? It's really amazing. Here's another tweet about how racism is really the thing that is working in Trump's favor. Mike Freeman, he's another blue checkmark, a journalist USA Today Sports Race and Inequality Editor, interesting job title, said that polls don't have an algorithm for racism. So the reason why Trump had a better night and the polls didn't indicate that he was going to have a good night is actually because of racism.

That is something that we're seeing not just in regards to Trump winning Florida because of the Cuban-American vote, but also because he performed a lot better than he did four years ago. among black Americans and among other Hispanic Americans. So this is from Charles, Charles Blow. He is a writer for the New York Times. He said, let's see, is it the New York Times? I just want, yes, he's New York Times columnist. He said this, this is so personally devastating to me.

The black male vote for Trump increased from 13% to 18%. So 13% in 2016 to 18% to 18%. this year. The black female vote for Trump doubled from 4% in 2016 to 8% this year. So Trump did a lot better among black voters than he did four years ago, a lot better among black voters than most Republicans typically do. He worked very hard for that vote. And then among Hispanic voters, some polls say that he got about 47%. I think that's the highest number I saw of Hispanic voters. Others say about 41% way, way outperformed his performance from last year, way outperformed expectations for the Hispanic vote. Now, there are a few reasons for this.

Some of them I listed. A lot of these people are immigrants from socialist countries, from countries that have a lot of unrest. So not only are they hearing the message of economic opportunity and hope and freedom from Trump. And they're like, yeah, that's why it came to America. And they're hearing. the doom and gloom message from Democrats about how America is this awful, terrible place. And it is so racist and it's not the land of opportunity. And actually, we just need more big government and we need more socialism. And they're like, hey, that's, you know, not why it came to America.

I also think because of these Hispanic communities or in these Hispanic communities in particular who fled a lot of these places that are filled characterized by social unrest, they're looking at what's happening in the streets in these Democrat-controlled cities and states Black Lives Matter in Antifa. These are left-wing activist groups that really the Democrats will not denounce by name. They will make generalized comments about how violence and looting is bad, but they won't call out these organizations by name. They won't dissociate from them. I think that Hispanic voters are probably looking at that and they're like, I just left that. Like I just left Honduras. I don't want that again. You're talking about Democrats defunding the police or you're talking about at least like Joe Biden said redirecting some money away from the police. I don't want that. I came here for economic opportunity. I came here for liberty. I came here because America is supposed to be better than the country I left. I came here for safety and security. I don't want that. I also think another reason why Trump did so well with the Hispanic vote and is doing. I'm going to be. I'm doing. I also think. I also think another reason why Trump did so well with the Hispanic vote and is doing.

doing so well. As you guys know, votes are still coming in and we'll talk about that in a second is because the media has actually been pretty quiet on the whole immigration issue. In 2016, that was a whole big thing, how the wall was so racist and how Trump was so racist against immigrants. And actually, that has not been a main pitch in the left wing media for the past few months. And so it just makes you wonder, sans propaganda, targeted propaganda, that the media just loves to peddle against minority groups. Since that kind of propaganda, you wonder if certain groups are finally just free to think for themselves and free to actually assess the candidates and assess their rhetoric, assess their

policies and promises, and then decide which one is better for them, rather than waiting in the muck and the mire of identity politics and victimization. But what's interesting is that definitely the left-wing media have been targeting with propaganda, black voters, more than they did probably four years ago, saying how awful Trump is, how racist he is, how white supremacist he is, and talking about how America is this white supremacist country. I mean, the past few months have been just an onslaught of criticism towards America as this white supremacist country and how Donald Trump is a tool of that white supremacy, all white people and especially white Christian conservatives are tools and perpetrators of white supremacy.

That has been the main propaganda for the past few months. And we have debunked those myths a thousand times on this podcast. And obviously, black voters predominantly voted Democrat this go round. But Trump improved among them, again, increased from 13 percent. in 2016 to 18% and 2020 among black men. And then the black female vote even doubled from 4% to 8%. So obviously black males and black females are still predominantly voting Democrat. But the fact that Trump improved at all among these groups when so consistently the media is saying that he is a vicious racist, racist shows that that message is not quite as convincing.

it's not quite as effective as the left thinks that it is. And I think that's what this knight speaks to in general, that Trump, that he, obviously he won Florida, he won Texas. Some people for a while were saying, oh, I'm really nervous about Texas. I mean, we knew that Texas was going to stay red. You have to look at which counties are reporting when you're looking at these numbers. Even if a state says, okay, 75% reporting and Biden's up in Texas, you have to look at the map and you have to say, okay, well, what counties are not reporting?

And when Biden was up or when it was really close in Texas, you had Harris County and you had Dallas County and you had some border towns that are so deeply blue that, of course, it's going to skew in that direction. But if you looked at the rest of the state, you saw that there were a lot of counties that were uncounted and were going to go Trump because that's oil country. And Mr. Joe, I'm going to ban fracking Biden, was not going to. win those counties. And so Texas was never really was never going to go blue. It was never really close. So Trump won Texas. He won, he won Florida. So obviously those were big wins for him. He is leading in Georgia right now. He's leading in North Carolina. He's leading in Pennsylvania,

although that is very precarious. As I'm telling you this, now, by the time you listen to this, it could be totally, it could be totally different because things seem to be changing. by the minute. Biden is barely up in Michigan. He's barely up in Wisconsin. He is up in Nevada. He is also a little bit up in Arizona. So these are the most contentious states right now. And the reason why people are freaking out. The reason why people are, some people on the right are saying, okay, this is an example of, you know, this is fraud, things are going awry. Why is this happening? Is because they seem to to stop counting the votes in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Arizona, when Trump was up, and then all of a sudden they started counting votes again and Biden was up or the margin was

much thinner. Now, that in and of itself is not evidence of fraud. That in and of itself, that alone is not evidence of fraud. Now, one weird thing that people are talking about in Wisconsin that I do think is that I do think is a very weird that, or sorry, in Michigan, that Donald Trump was up in Michigan and then they had about 128,000 absentee ballots that they counted in apparently 100% of those went to Joe Biden. Reportedly, 100% of those went to Joe Biden, not a single third party vote, not a single Donald Trump vote and all of those absentee ballots. And that closed the gap very significantly between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. And so people think that's weird. People think it's weird that

Pennsylvania and Arizona, that Wisconsin and Michigan seem to be putting a hold on the counting. Some people are saying, you know, this is an indication that they're going to find more votes, that they're going to, you know, make sure that these states go for Donald Trump, that the governors and that the officials in those states are just going to ensure that Biden wins by doing some, you know, some fishy things. We don't have any evidence of that right now. I do, however, think that there is a reason for people to be concerned about that. I mean, we had the Attorney General of Pennsylvania already say, he already said two days ago, look, if, if every vote is counted in Pennsylvania, Trump will lose. And so what he is saying by that very partisan statement, because he is expressing a desire for that to happen, and he's not supposed to do that.

But what he is saying is that if Trump wins Pennsylvania, it's because not every vote was counted. Well, that is obviously a very premature statement. That's a partisan statement. That's an inappropriate statement to make before an election because you are already sowing seeds of doubt. You are assuming that if Trump wins Pennsylvania, that it's because of fraud or it's because of voter suppression or it's because not all the votes were counted when that is that is not a given in Pennsylvania. So there is a reason for conservatives, for Republicans to wonder, okay, what is really going on in these states. Now, in the state of Georgia, the county that we don't have is Fulton County.

And I think there are some other votes that we are waiting on. What happened in Fulton County, it's a county of Atlanta. They were counting the absentee ballots and apparently a pipe broke in that room. And so they were unable to keep counting the absentee ballots, which again is a little bit weird. Now, Georgia is really close. It's too close for comfort, quite honestly. Now, I predicted that Georgia was going to go blue because I spent some time in Georgia last week. And I said, whew, these are a lot of signs for Biden in what should be a stronghold for Republicans.

But you also, you never know. There is the shy Trump voter. There are people who are going to vote for Donald Trump aren't going to put a sign in their yard. I'm not going to put a Trump sign. I mean, we didn't put a Trump sign in our yard. And we wouldn't because we're uncomfortable in some ways because of that and because of the district that we live in. And so, of course, a lot of people in Georgia are probably the same way. it's not necessarily an indicator of what's going to happen.

But when I was there, I was surprised in the areas that I was in that I knew were very strongly conservative areas, the number of Biden signs that I saw. And I drove throughout the state and I saw that. And so I just made a little prediction that I thought that North Carolina would go red, that it would go for Trump, spent some time in North Carolina too. It was the vibe I got. I'm getting this off of vibes, by the way. This is not any like quantitative data that I am going from.

And my feeling, my vibe was that Georgia was going to go blue. I still don't think, now looking at the numbers, I don't think that's going to happen. Now, Fulton County did go for Hillary Clinton last time. And so it is very likely that it'll go for Donald Trump this time. We don't know that for sure. In Arizona, it looks like Joe Biden's going to win. The weird thing about Arizona, the reason why people were upset about Arizona last night is because it seemed like it was called too early.

And that a lot of people were upset with Fox News for calling it so early. And people were also upset with different networks for not calling Texas, for not calling Florida, for not calling North Carolina. But, you know, every decision desk at these networks, they have a different, they have a different strategy. They have different standards that they have to reach before they'll call a state. but calling Arizona so quickly was a point of contention for a lot of people, in particular the Trump campaign saying, hey, it was way too early to call that.

And that's just unfair. There's still a chance that Trump can win Arizona. That is looking less and less likely right now. And Fox News and other outlets, of course, stood by their decision to call Arizona. Martha McSally, she lost her Senate race in Arizona, but she said, you know, I'm not going to concede because, again, she believes that her race was called too early. So there's a lot of contention right now. We still don't know a lot of information about certain states that are saying that, you know, it's going to take them a while to count all of the votes. I don't have proof right now

of any kind of voter fraud. My prayer is that there's not. Like even if if Joe Biden wins, my hope is not that this is endlessly litigated. Now, it probably will be. Like there's probably going to be litigation. They're probably going to be questions. There might even be recounts in some of these states, depending on how close it is. That's not my desire. My desire is for whoever wins, whether it's Joe Biden or Donald Trump, to win fair and square and for it to just be over with.

And if Joe Biden is the president, then we learn how to live with Joe Biden as the president. The reason I'm not too anxious about it is because it looks like Republicans are going to keep the Senate. and we've got a conservative Supreme Court. Joe Biden is not going to be able to pack the court if the Democrats don't take the Senate. So he is not going to be a Joe Biden president if he wins. And by the way, that is not a given at all. I'm just saying worst case scenario, if Joe Biden does win the presidency and Republicans keep the Senate,

which it's looking very well like they will. And Republicans gained as much as they did. did as well as they did in the House, then Biden and Harris are not going to be nearly as powerful as they want to be. They're not going to be able to accomplish all the things that they want to. Now, is he going to make broad use of executive orders? Yes, probably so. But again, that can only go so far. That's true under Trump. That was, of course, true under Obama. There's going to be a lot of pushback. I think state legislatures probably happened along predictable lines. Now, when I say predictable, I guess that even is a controversial term because I think Democrats really predicted that

there would be a blue wave, not just in the presidency. I think they probably thought Biden was going to get Florida. Like there was a possibility that he was going to get Texas. Like he was probably a shoe in in North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Michigan. I think that they probably assumed all of those things. And that just hasn't been the case at all. But I think they also thought that they were going to flip the Senate, that they were going to take control of the Senate and that they were going to gain all of these seats in the House. And guys, that just did not happen. So as of right now, according to the New York Times, Dems flipped two seats in the House. Republicans flipped seven seats for a net gain of five seats. Democrats in the House did not see that coming. Democrats in the media did not see that

coming. So Democrats or Republicans are still going to be a minority in the House. I saw I heard someone last night say that it's possible that Republicans take control of the House. I don't see the possibility of that happening at all. I mean, hopefully I'm wrong, but I don't think that that's possible at all. We're so waiting on, I think, a few results to come in, but it's just not going to happen. But Republicans have a very strong minority in the House. Democrats did not anticipate that. And they thought in the Senate that it was very likely that they were going to take the majority. They flipped two seats, gaining one so far. Again, we're still waiting for some results there. And Georgia, there's going to be a special election between Kelly Loughler and Warnock.

Warnock is a far-left Democrat. It would be terrible if you won that Senate race against Kelly Loughler. I don't think, I don't know if she's a strong enough candidate. I honestly don't. But we'll see what happens, I think, come January. Republican flipped one in the Senate and the one that they did flip was pretty obvious. Doug Jones got ousted out of the Senate. That was honestly kind of a mistake that he won in the first place against Tommy Tuberville. Republican Tom Tillis will probably win in the Senate race in North Carolina.

David Perdue will probably win in the Senate race in Georgia, but we are still trying to figure that out right now. So it just was not the blue wave that Democrats, anticipated at all. And I think that in and of itself is amazing to me. Like that in and of itself gives me a comfort because what you hear so constantly is that the Republican Party is totally out of step with most of the country. Some of the exit polls that we saw last night, it was, I mean, they were ridiculous exit polls. I was like, there's no way this is true. This is before, before we got any results, the election or the exit polls were asking questions

like do you want government health care? What do you think about abortion restrictions? And it was so far to the left. It was like 72% of exit poll responders said that they want, said that they want government-run health care. And 60% of exit poll responders say that they don't want any restrictions on abortion, like something like that, something crazy like that. And 60% say they want a mask mandate, a federal mask mandate. And I was like, wow, if this is really how the country thinks, than I am in more of a minority than what I thought. But what we see from last night, even if Joe Biden wins, is that it's going to be a close presidential race, first of all.

Republicans made gains or Democrats said that they could not make gains. This country just is not as far to the left as Democrats want to believe that it is. This whole game of critical race theory and white guilt in identity politics, it just doesn't resonate with enough people. And I have to remind myself of that the world is not Twitter, that very few Americans spend their time on Twitter or even Instagram. And that kind of colors my view of the world. And it makes me think people in America are a lot further left and more people are on the left than really are. But the reality is that most people vote with their pocketbooks.

Most people vote for the safety and security of their family, both economically and the physical safety and security of their family. They're voting for jobs. They're voting for economic opportunity. and a lot of Americans aren't stupid enough to believe that the Democrats who have been calling for lockdowns are also going to be the ones to save the economy. I mean, Joe Biden and Barack Obama oversaw the slowest recovery, economic recovery after the recession that America has ever seen. That recovery accelerated massively under Trump due to a lot of its policies.

And I think a lot of Americans see that. maybe Donald Trump loses because, you know, the media campaign has been effective against him. The negative rhetoric against him has just, you know, caught hold of a lot of people. And, you know, he works against himself in a lot of ways. And so maybe Joe Biden in a razor thin margin. Maybe he pulls it off and he wins the presidency. But the fact that it was so small when there's been so much negative coverage of Donald Trump, when the entirety of big tech, when all of corporate America, when all of the mainstream media

and social media is against Donald Trump, internationally there is a push against Donald Trump. The fact that Joe Biden might, well, Donald Trump might win, but the fact that Joe Biden might win by a tiny, tiny margin shows you that this country is not where Democrats think that it is and not where leftists around the world want it to be. It just isn't. That's the truth. Now, let's look at some of the demographics and how they broke down. So 58% white men went for Donald Trump, 40% for Joe Biden.

55% white women went for Donald Trump, 43% for Joe Biden. Now, that is interesting because it went up a little bit among white women for Trump. In 2016, 52% of white women voted for Donald Trump, 43% for Hillary Clinton. So in 2020, it's 55%. And we have been hearing that there is going to be this big falling away of white woman from Donald Trump because white women are just realizing that, you know, Donald Trump is the antichrist and they are just going to leave him in droves. Well, that didn't happen. He gained 3% of the white female vote. 18% black men voted for Donald Trump, again, compared to 13% last time, 8% black women, Latino men, 36%.

went for Donald Trump compared to 32% last time. Latino women, 28% for Donald Trump compared to 25% last time. And so he made gains there. And so that's the gender and racial breakdown between last year and this year. So I mean, Trump gained in a lot of these categories. Now, among evangelical Christians, let me let me, let me, pulled that up. Are you, so New York Times asked this in an exit poll. Are you a white evangelical or white born again? Christian 76% voted for Donald Trump compared to 23% voted for Joe Biden. Now, that is a little bit down among white evangelicals from 2016 for Donald Trump. It was, let's see, last time it was 81% voted for Donald Trump, white evangelical Christians, and this time it was 76%. So it did go down five points. That's not very significant, but it is, it is something. It is something to speak of. And I think, honestly, that goes, that speaks to the efforts of Joe Biden's campaign to recruit those white evangelicals. I mean, I'm in the white evangelical world and I see a lot of it. A lot of them have gone woke.

a lot of pro-life white evangelicals I've seen on social media say, oh, you know, I'm voting for Donald or I'm voting for Joe Biden for decency. I am voting for him because he cares about all of these other issues. We've also debunked that myth on this show. But even with all of that, there was only a 5% difference. That is something, but it's not a lot. It is not really relative to the effort that they seem to put in in the Biden campaign to get those white evangelicals. It just didn't work as well as they wanted it to. Seventy-six percent still went for Donald Trump. And of course, people in the left are going to say that's because of racism. They're going to say that that is, that that's just because, you know, bigotry and all that

craziness. They will not make any effort. They won't make any effort whatsoever to try to understand why we care about our constitutional rights and how we see the current state of the Democratic Party fighting against those constitutional rights. It was Chrissy Teigen who said on Twitter, it's insane what our fears are if we lose. I'm guessing she's talking about people on the left compared to their fears, conservatives. If Biden wins, like we will, like we will prob all die or be handmaids and they're worried about bathroom safety. Now, Chrissy Tee, in, I came to your defense when people were, I think very viciously and cruelly calling you out for taking pictures when you lost your sweet, precious child. And I am still so sad and sorry about that.

I prayed for you during that time. And I didn't think that anyone had the rights to be criticizing you during that time and your personal decision to post pictures, which I thought, you know, I had nothing wrong with that decision. So, You know, I'm not saying this out of hatefulness, but this statement that you made is so perfectly indicative of why the left isn't more popular. Like, why the Democrats, even if they win the presidency, why they don't have these landslide victories that they assume that they're going to have, like, they assumed that they were going to have in 2016, in 2018, like they assumed that they were going to have this year.

They just don't. And the reason why that is is because you guys do not understand or make anything. effort to understand why we vote the way that we do. Maybe it's because we don't like socialism. Like maybe it's because we actually believe in free speech and in the First Amendment, the electoral college and the impartiality of the Supreme Court. Maybe we don't want socialism. So Megan McCain, I think, explains this really well. She says this in a tweet, normalizing socialism, mostly peaceful protesting, cancel culture, insane tax rates, arrogant identity politics, apologizing for loving America and patriotism, and overall coastal elitism about Christianity,

and anyone making under 100K a year. There, I explained it, Democrats. And she is replying to a tweet that talks about that Tuesday was a failure for Democrats, the tweet that I will read in just a second from someone that works at Politico, but she's absolutely right. And Democrats, people on the left, especially the celebrity left, because they are so insulated from reality. They don't understand why people possibly could think differently, why people who make less than 100K a year actually want an economy that provides them with some kind of opportunity and freedom. They don't understand that in the slightest. They're like, why don't you just care about my transgender bills like I do?

Because it doesn't affect people's life the way that you think that it should. So normalizing socialism, absolutely true. And you can say that's fearmongering, that's propaganda. It's not. They have Democratic Socialists in the party that almost won the Democratic nomination that worked on Joe Biden's Unity Task Force. They are self-described socialists. I mean, you've got a self-described Marxist organization supporting the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party supporting them. And so it is totally normal for people who have fled socialism, for people who have read about socialism to be scared of socialism coming to America via the Democratic Party.

that is totally rational based on the things that they have said and the things that they have promised. And again, Kamala Harris coming out and saying, oh, we need equality of outcome. Yeah, that's communism. That's what every communist dictator has said for the past 100 years. And so people are worried about socialism. Normalizing socialism is going to push people away. Mostly peaceful protesting. She's referring to the media saying that, oh, yeah, Kenosha might be burning down. Minneapolis might be burning to the ground.

People might be looting and rioting and little kids and elderly people and vulnerable women and children in these areas. Poor women and children in these areas are put at a lot of risk, but it's probably fine. And you know what? Riots are the voice of the unheard. It's probably okay, but it's mostly peaceful anyway. Anyone with eyes watches that and is like, I don't want that to come to my county, I don't want them to come to my county, my city, my neighborhood. Meanwhile, they're talking about Joe Biden is talking about taking away my. guns, making it harder for me to get guns and defunding the police. That doesn't sound safe.

That's why you're not getting more people. Yeah, that actually scares people, Chrissy Teigen, who don't have private security and don't live in a gated community within a gated home. Like, yeah, that affects people's life. And she also talked about Megan McCain, cancel culture. People don't want to live in a country to where free speech might be a part of the Constitution, but it doesn't actually exist because if they express, they're very, normal political opinions, they might get fired from their job or they might be facing a social media mob. Arrogant identity politics, again, assuming people, assuming that people actually care about intersectionality, it just, it's not something that normal middle of the country people care about,

thinking that someone like Kamala Harris, who couldn't even pull it 1% in the Democratic primary was going to win any of the black vote when she didn't at all. That's arrogance. It obviously didn't work. Apologizing for loving America and patriotism, we have seen that only 22 percent, according to Gallup in 2019, of Democrats said they're extremely proud to be Americans. They think patriotism is bad. I mean, they're the party of the 1619 project. They're the party that says America is fundamentally bad. We need to basically start over. Most Americans don't feel that way. Overall coastal elitism about Christianity. Yes, that is absolutely true. we saw that when they were talking about Amy Coney Barrett and her family and how she is able to do all the

things that she does and condescending her and just completely misunderstanding anything about evangelicalism or conservative Catholicism. That comes out and people don't like that. I mean, the people who are reporting, the journalists in the media, they don't, most of them do not understand the rest of the country. Like on a fundamental level, they don't understand our concerns. Like they don't understand our fears that is reflected in these elections. Again, even if Joe Biden wins. I'm not saying no Democrats ever win. And they have a lot of effective strategies, I think, to try to win over some conservatives.

But the reason why they're not seeing the blue wave that all the money that goes into their campaigns indicate that they should be getting is because of this. It's because of these issues. And until the Democrats take a good, hard look. at themselves and say, you know what, we've gone too far left and we're having too hard of a time. We're having too hard of a time getting the people in the middle of the country and we're just not going to be able to convince them. And uh-oh, we might be losing some of the black vote and the Hispanic vote. That's not good. Unless they take a good, hard look at themselves and realize that the country is not the country of the 1619 project. We're not the country of critical

race theory. We're not the country of intersectionality. We're not the country of Antifa riots. we're not the country who wants communism. Like you might be able to indoctrinate enough young people into thinking that these things are okay, but you're going to have to live with the rest of us for a while. And you're going to have to figure out at some point that it's you. It's not everyone else.

Like I was thinking about this earlier. I was talking to my husband. I was like, they're like the women in, and he's just not that into you. They don't realize that the reason why the guy didn't call is because you're annoying because he doesn't want to talk to you because after the first date, you were a creep. That is how a lot of people, that's how the Democratic Party needs to think.

They need to think, okay, you know, like, why didn't these voters, these Christian voters, why didn't more of these people, why didn't Cuban Americans vote for us? Instead of saying, which so many people are now saying on Twitter that it's racism and sexism, that that's the real reason why Donald Trump is doing well and Republicans are doing well, instead of just playing that same old game that is so tired, that people are so tired of, why don't you just look in the mirror for one second and say, oh, the reason why they didn't call us back is because I'm terrible, because I'm super annoying, because I'm just like, I'm not attractive and I'm not appealing.

Like maybe you should just have a self-reckoning for a second and realize most people don't want the brand of leftism that you're selling. Yes, at one point, the Democratic Party had a better platform that was appealing to a wider swath of Americans that could still be appealing. I think that you could probably say, you know, we want better health care. You could run on that. You could say, you know, we want, you could even say we want common sense gun laws. And we want to make sure that the poor are taking care of, whatever. But most people see that the Democratic Party is the party of abortion through nine months on demand funded by the taxpayer. You are the party of either soft socialism,

or outright socialism. You are the party of Antifa. You're the party of Black Lives Matter rioters. And most people don't want that. You're the party of intersectionality and critical race theory. Most people don't even comprehend what the heck you're talking about. You're the party run by the guy who said that it's fine for eight-year-olds to be transgender. Most people don't want that.

Most people don't want that. And so until the Democratic Party looks into the mirror and says, okay, we got to, we got to get out these radicals. We got to denounce the radicalism. and we've got to kind of move to the center and we've got to focus on these policy issues that are popular. And we've got to stop the radicalism and the far leftism that has just intoxicated our party. You're not going to see a blue wave. You're just not outside ballot harvesting voter fraud and just outright tyranny.

You're just not going to see it. You're going to win some elections here and there, of course. You're going to win over some voters. Yeah, that's true. That's going to happen. But you're not going to see the blue wave that you've been. predicting at least since 2016. It's just not going to happen. Even when Barack Obama was president, Republican legislatures were dominating in the states. And it's because the majority of Americans,

even if some of them vote Democrat moderately, they think that they're moderate. They're not on board with the far leftism. And until Democrats realize that it's not us, it's you, you're not going to see the blue wave that you want to see. So that's my take on all of that. It's a crazy time. We don't know what's going to happen quite yet. I feel pretty comfortable as long as it is sure that Republicans are going to keep the Senate no matter what wins with what happens with the presidency.

Of course. Do I want Donald Trump to win the presidency? Of course I do. And there's still a chance for him to do that. And I think this is going to be litigated. Donald Trump is already talking about them trying to steal the election. I don't think that he should be talking about that. I think that that is a little premature to be talking about that.

I also just don't think it's helpful. I don't think it's helpful. Like, let's not raise the temperature anymore in this crazy, contentious time. Just say, like, look, I'm going to be patient. We're going to figure this out. We're not going to let any fraudulent stuff happen. Democrats should say the same thing. We're not going to let fraud happen.

We're going to make sure every vote is counted. we're going to make every make sure every vote is counted with integrity. Say that. Don't make accusations yet. Don't jump to conclusions yet. The last thing we need to do is to raise the temperature by saying that the election is stolen when we just don't know that. That's, I think that's all. Oh, let me say this. I thought that this was interesting. So, and this just goes to show again what we were talking about, how Democrats just have not been able to reconcile with reality. Amy McGrath, she ran against Mitch McConnell and Jamie Harrison, he ran against Lindsay Graham in South Carolina. Amy McGrath and Jamie Harrison raised a combined $199 million $4,686. That is $200 million combined their campaigns spent and lost to both Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham by a combined 35 points. That's, that is something. I mean, we kind of see this a lot. Like John

Ossoff in Georgia, he's been well funded. We saw this with Beto back in 2018, so well funded, just national push for these people to unseat these incumbent senators and celebrity endorsements and all that stuff. And to no avail, to no avail, hundreds of millions of dollars, avail. I just don't think Democrats have a good, they don't have a finger on the pulse of America. Oh, let me read you this tweet from Politico, from Anna Palmer at Politico. I really like her. I think that she is a fair person that works there. She said, she said this. Today's, so today's playbook, what blue wave? Tuesday was an abject disaster for Democrats in Washington. This is not a, This is not a conservative commentator, by the way.

An abject disaster for Democrats in Washington to imagine the amount of soul searching and explaining the party will have to do after Tuesday is absolutely dizzy. The infighting will be bloody, as it should be. Democrats told us in the weeks and months leading up to the election, leading up to election date that they were on track to win the majority of the Senate, and they don't appear poised to do that. D's and R's said that Dems would win a dozen seats in the House and knock off a whole host of Republican incumbents, and that was completely wrong. Instead, they'll have north of 200 house seats making house ours extremely powerful minority with no matter who wins the White House. Wow, that is crazy. And so that's kind of the commentary that we are getting from some people in the media.

And I appreciate that. Like, I appreciate that on his commentary rather than just saying it was racism and sexism, which just gets us nowhere. So as you guys know, God is not surprised. He's not thrown off. He's still on his throne. He's not wondering what's going to happen. he's not still counting up the votes. I mean, the Bible says that all of the heroes on our head are all numbered.

That's what Matthew 10 says. And so God has all of the votes number, too. He knows exactly how many votes there are for each candidate. He knows exactly what's going on behind closed doors. He knew exactly who each of us were going to vote for before we did. He knew the results of the election. He knows how the litigation is going to go. He knows every single thing that is going to happen and nothing can thwart his wealth. Nothing happens. apart from his sovereign will. That doesn't mean that he likes everything that happens. That doesn't mean that he approves of everything that happens. But nothing thwarts his will. Job 42 says that and says, nothing is too hard for you.

And so God can do anything that he wants to do. We should pray for a speedy process. We should pray for integrity in this election, no matter which way it goes. We shouldn't assume just because Joe Biden wins, even if it seems weird to us, which it does seem weird in places like Wisconsin and Michigan. But we shouldn't assume that that is because of fraud.

We shouldn't automatically latch on to that narrative. We can, of course, be skeptical. We can ask questions, but we can't just assume that. We have to pray for an efficient and an honest process, for a quick process, for there to be as little controversy as possible. I know that's hoping against hope for God to be glorified. And for Christians, for us to be joyful and for us to be at peace, for us to go about doing the things that we are called to do, to love our neighbor, to love our family, to be

obedient, to be in prayer, to be in the word, to not let our anxiety crush us. I mean, I slept fine last night. I slept fine the night before last, too. I know God is completely sovereign. So we can enjoy the beauty and the peace of God being in complete control, knowing that he knows exactly what's going to happen. He's never thrown off or surprised. And he is not limited by time or space. He is certainly not tied to the outcome of the election. His kingdom ever never ends.

And he will rule in perfect peace forever. And so we can trust in that and rejoice in that. So that's where I am right now. I'll keep you guys updated on Instagram. We'll probably do like an Instagram live later because I know all this stuff is changing by the moment. but I will be back here on Friday. I'll talk to you guys then.
