The Eric Metaxas Show - Kevin McCullough and Albin Sadar

Episode Date: November 12, 2024

Our friends Kevin McCullough and Albin Sadar weigh in on the the election results. 

Welcome to the Eric Metaxas show. They say it's a thin line between love and hate, but we're working every day to thicken that line, or at least to make it a double or triple line. But now here's your line jumping host, Eric Mattaxas. Folks, welcome to Hour 2, our special day after the election coverage on the Eric Mataxis show. We thought on a day like today, we want to go. to the big guns, but we couldn't get them. So instead we have our friend Kevin McCullough. Vostradamus, welcome to this program. Can you believe that we are alive to see what we saw last night and this morning? Can you believe at Kevin McCullough, my friend? You asked me last week

and have Chris or James or whoever pull up the tape if you'd like, you said, Kev, what time will we know? You remember what I said? No. You asked me specifically, do you think we will know by midnight and my answer was very specific. I said, I don't think we'll know by midnight eastern, but by the time it turns midnight on the west coast, I think we will know. And at 217 Eastern time, Wednesday morning, Donald Trump clinched Wisconsin after having clinched Pennsylvania. That put him over the top at 277, at 217 in the morning, 43 minutes before midnight on the West Coast. And here we are.

47 is in office. The red wave not only took the White House. It expanded the Senate. It expanded the House of Representatives. And for all the whiners out there, he won the popular vote by $4 or $5 million at the final count. And there won't be any way that they'll be able to say, oh, well, you know, he didn't really win like Hillary Clinton did in 2016.

No, he won, and it was a crushing victory for the forces of freedom, and it was a suffering defeat for those that had tried to tell us that gaslight us, basically, and tell us that our lives were just fine. Right. Well, I got to be honest, there's no news in what you just said for me. I always knew both Stradamus was right on the money. I didn't doubt that. It's just, you know what it is, Kevin? And I said this many times before. you know, it's one thing to say something for it to be true.

It's for another thing for the rest of the world to acknowledge it. Trump won four years ago, and we went through hell. There was corruption, malfeasance, evil. We had to live through four years of hell. The deep state, you know, came out of the woodwork to show their actual, to show the evil that they've been hiding. And so I was not expecting this to go normally to wake up today and say, oh, it's over. Trump won.

Everybody says he won. I was not expecting that, not because it hadn't happened, but because we're living in a new world. And I have to say, to be sober about this, just because he won doesn't mean that the next three months before January 6th, when they certify before January 20th, is going to be easy. the forces of evil, and I say the forces of evil just because I can't remember all of the three-letter agencies. And so I don't need to mention them. I'll just say the forces of evil.

Those who are at war with we the people, they're not done. Today, they're planning in their covens and their bunkers what they can do to disrupt the will of we, the people. But for today, this needed to happen. Trump needed to win and he won. Praise Jesus. And now we get to go to work and to do the will of the American people to restore this nation to what it once was a place of real liberty where people understood that. We've got a long way to go. But praise God that we get to do it. Praise God. Now, so you live in the weeds. Tell us what can we look at. Is Carrie Lake, is she definitely going to lose her Senate seat. Yeah, that's, that race is done. She, she made some last minute stumbles in her race and unforced errors. And to be honest, you know, the Kamala campaign was the, was the quintessential comedy of errors down the stretch. She couldn't, she couldn't go a single day without making some sort of dumb mistake. And did you hear, did you hear that she picked Tim Wals as her running mate?

That's too crazy to believe. Trump just hit every single day he, he was. was at bat and he got he got on base like he was getting singles doubles triples every day he didn't always hit a home run every day but he didn't have a lot of fielding errors and the and the beauty of that is that over time it became very cumulative and i think the kind of the quintessential that this is really going to be one of those symbols that political science professors are going to talk about but when they used his sketch with jimmy fallon on s andl to highlight her in the final weekend that was the quintessential I'm copying your playbook. She had already taken taxes on tips.

She had already done all these other things. She said, I'm going to get tough on the border. Nobody believed in any of it. But the kind of the quintessential cherry on the Sunday was for her to do the mirror sketch with Maya Rudolph. And as I heard multiple people say, Guy Benson from townhall.com being one of them last week on Gutfeld, Maya Rudolph's a better Kamala than Kamala was. I mean, this was probably the fact that you're talking about SNL makes me like you a little less. Do we need to talk about SNL? Does anybody watch SNL except?

You asked about we all heard. We all heard about the unforced errors. And I was saying that she made her campaign was targeted for young people in the mainstream. And she couldn't even do that right. So it was what I find interesting, Kevin, though, is like we're always talking about how they campaign. And it's an interesting thing. because how did Washington campaign? How did Lincoln campaign?

He won the Revolutionary War. Like he accomplished something like Donald Trump did. But this is kind of my point. Like it's all about the campaign. On some level, who cares about the campaign? It's about the candidate. She is a jug-headed fool. I mean, it doesn't get worse than Kamala Harris.

So if they run a great campaign, it's all about deception. I mean, the idea that you have a campaign, candidate that's just, I'll be honest with you. The fact that she got as many votes as she did is a black mark in the book of America. The idea that we have enough people ignorant enough to have voted for this woman who is just as bad as it gets, as liberal, insane, inability, unable to speak properly. The idea that that many Americans were fooled, that's the work we have to do. Going forward from here on, because we're We're just crossing the starting line.

We have work to do in the nation. And I talk about it's about the culture. We have to re-catechize the culture. And we have to say thank you. And we have to say thank you to President Trump for opening the door for us to do that work. And let me break down some of what I mean. Yeah. The coalition that he built of inner city African-American families, Latinos, women, young people, across the board, he opened doors that Republicans have not

had open to them for a very long time. And he didn't just say, please vote for me. I'm going to do good things. I'm going to give you fun things. He said, come be a part of this vision that I have. Because even in his acceptance speech at 2, you know, 45 this morning, he was saying, we have work to do. There's a serious job to be done. And as my friend Trey Gowdy said on Fox News last night, when he came to power the first time, he came to office the first time, I hate the word power. When he came to office the first time, He did not have his agenda straightened out. Correct. He was figuring out appointments.

He was figuring out how Congress worked. He was figuring out the Senate. He needed some clarity on how all that stuff operates. Trey Gowdy said last night, that will not be the mistake this time. He's going to hit the doorway at 8 a.m. on day one, and people are going to have to get on board. This man is not a guy that lets grass, you know, grow up. under his feet. He works and he works and he works. And he worked in the campaign. The brilliant moves of McDonald's and taking out the trash and all the things that they tried to put on him.

Brilliant doesn't even do it justice. They thought they were death knells and he turned them into messaging points. And he connected with black young people because he put on a McDonald's apron and made some fries. Like this is the kind of thing you don't see in public service very often. people who are true servant leaders, and Donald Trump is a true public servant. He never knew what politics was before, but he became the kind of preeminent public servant to the people that he seeks to serve. And unlike most presidents, he has lowered his rank in position in that office. And he will do it again.

He'll probably lose more money to his net worth overall. Every president's gotten richer. He's the only one that's gotten $2 billion poor. When they put you in the coffin, when they put you in the coffin, when they put you in the coffin, you don't get to take any money with you. You get to take your name, your reputation, your legacy, what your kids think of you. God bless Donald Trump.

Folks, we're talking, and I'm not kidding, with Votesradamus. Some of you know him as Kevin McCullough, but those of us who are really know him. We know him as Vostradamus, who is a prognosticator of things political on a level that is spooky, eerie. Recount Virginia. Recount Virginia. I only missed the map by one state. Recount

Virginia. Well, listen, Kevin, first of all, I wanted to ask you this before, and I forgot, what time did you go to bed? I went to bed. Let me just say at like 1145, because I said, I'm not going to do this to myself. What time did you go to bed? Well, I was anchoring Salem News Channel coverage until 5 o'clock this morning. So it was a late night. Wow. Yeah. Salem News Channel, that's a thing.

Oof. Yes. And I'm very proud of the coverage we did last night. I know, but I'm like, I'm embarrassed that I wasn't watching that because that's the funny thing is that like you start realizing that everyone is finding alternative media. I'm joking around about the Salem News channel, but that's kind of the point. What do you want to watch?

I want to watch Kevin McCullough on the Salem News Channel. I want to watch Alex Jones. I want to watch. There's so many people that are exciting to watch and they've got their finger on the pulse. It's not Fox News. It's not, you know, it's just interesting to me. Well, and let me tell you how this is going to change part of that landscape because Trump clinched at 2.17 a.m. That's when they called Wisconsin and he had Pennsylvania called just.

a few minutes before. So we had enough to get over the 270 line. I then go and host the 3 to 5 a.m. coverage midnight on the West Coast, three in the east. And we had a great show and we did a great Does Phil Boys pay you double overtime? I can't reveal my contractual. Three to five a.m. We go from there and I hand off the baton to Hugh Hewitt at 5 a.m. And I'm headed to bed because I'm dead tired. I've been up since 4 a.m. the day before. And I say, I'm just going to change. check the coverage just to see. So I turn on CNN and there's Jen Saki and she still has Trump at 266 on her screen and she's talking to some former cabinet official for somebody about actually I know who it was. It was Beffomet. No. It was a former elected, a former cabinet

official for Obama, a Latino guy from Texas, I forget. But anyway, they still had him at 2606. I turn over to MSNBC and they still have him. at under 270. And this, by now, it's been two and a half going on three hours since he clenched. And both of those networks were like, well, you know, we're not really sure. And I'm like, this is why you guys are losing to the online streaming platforms. This is why Salem News Channel had double the number of minutes watched in October that we did from September.

And in November, we're going to blow October away. Because this is what people are tired of you. guys doing, not telling the truth and jerking us around. So I was a camp at a 530 that we were on it and had been a very, very good resource for people. So look, this does change the media landscape. I really, I recognized it last night. I thought we're in a new world right now. What am I watching? Where am I getting my news? If people are listening right now and they don't know how to find the Salem News channel, what's the best place? It's everywhere. So you can get the, we have a proprietary app that you can get on Roku or Apple TV, any Apple device, any Android device.

But beyond that, we are in these fast channel aggregators like Pluto TV and Samsung Plus. If you just look for Salem News Channel on your guide, you're going to be able to find it in more and more places. And we literally have tens of millions of minutes watched each month. We know what that minute looked like because now on the digital side, you can track every single viewer and tell advertisers exactly how many. and we have yet one more big announcement that we're going to be in. But we're in over 80 million homes now. So it's one of those things where, and last night I'm going to, I'm going to predict that we set a brand new record with our coverage

because we just give people what they're looking for, which is the truth and insightful opinion from the perspective that the Salem media world has in terms of our expert voices, like you, like you, Hewitt, like Mike Gallagher, like Sebastian Gorka, like Charlie Kirk. we are offering the folks something that they can't find anywhere else. I want to ask you, did you watch, I mean, this morning, I'm not kidding, I said this before, like I woke up not knowing, like I said, I'm going to go to bed. Really? Wow. I would have never been able to sleep.

Well, I'm perfectly able to sleep. And let me say that I woke up, I didn't even look at my phone or my computer. I went downstairs. I wanted to hear the news from my sweet wife, Suzanne. And she told me he won. And I get tears in my eyes. And he didn't just win. This was a litmus test on his messaging. And there's like four or five tests that a presidential candidate has to pass

to really have a mandate from the people. And he won all five categories. He won the electoral college, which is the technical win. He won the popular vote, which is the argumentative win. Nobody can say he's not the winner because he won the popular vote. he won all of the swing states, not just one of them, not just a couple of them. She only needed to win Pennsylvania and hang on in a couple of other places, and she could have gotten there. He won all seven. He took them all away from her.

But he also dragged Senate candidates across the line with him, and he expanded the lead in the House. You know, there's five points. Only people who are deep into politics are even aware of this term. It's one of those political terms. But it is, I'm pretty sure it was coined in the 20th century, but it's called a thorough going ass kicking. That's the political term. You can shorten it to just a pure thrashing.

Thorough going ass kicking. And I got to tell you, we still don't know. I mean, we're taping this now. It's about noon. We don't know what the final electoral count will be. I guess it's going to be north of 300 for Trump. It will be. We do know.

Absolutely we know. The networks are saying we don't know. No, the decision. desk that Salem News Channel partnered with last night. We have called every state in the race, and he is the clear winner. He's up by more than 100,000 votes in Arizona and Michigan. There's no way she's coming back. Look, we know he's the winner, but you're telling me, what is your best guess on the electoral? He needed 270. It's north of 300. I don't know the exact number, but it's above 300. Okay. Well, that's a big deal. That's a big deal. So, so Kevin, I keep saying we've just crossed the

starting line. I mean that in several senses. For one thing, between now, I mean, he's going to be sentenced on November 26th. No, he's not. A lot of stuff that we have to keep fighting, keep fighting, keep praying, ladies and gentlemen, fast and pray that the Lord carry us through these battles ahead. We are, you know, it's like, like Joshua taking the promised land. You know, we, we, we, okay, we got I that next, Jericho, next, next, next, next. We got a lot to do to take back the land. So what do you see? Joe Biden's going to ask the Department of Justice to drop the lawfare cases because he needs and wants President Trump to not stand in the way of a pardon for Hunter. I heard.

It's going to be mutually assured discussion. Information from the campaign. I heard that Biden was looking at pardoning Trump. He could do that too. Either way, if Merrick Garland won't go along with it, then he could do that. Merrick Garland may not go along with it because he still wants to have a career. Joe Biden's like, oh, he's not going to do anything else. He still believes in Baphomet.

So let me just say then November 26th, what do you think is happening on November 26th? I don't think it'll be still pending before the court. I think it'll be done. Really? Yeah. One way or the other. Either through a presidential pardon or he'll have the DOJ drop all charges. See, this is a big deal.

This is a big deal. And if he didn't have the win that he had, look, if he had just eeked across the electoral college last night, these jokers would still be trying to pull this shenanigans. But it was such a convincing and crushing blow that, and it had to be. And he was so humble in his speech last night. He could have come out and gloated and rubbed everybody's noses in it. And he just stayed focused on the job that's in front of him. And let me tell you what this does to other power brokers,

like Barack Obama and the rhinos that were working against him, the never Trumpers, these people are so far beyond dead in the political water. Obama has no more brand, no more cachet. He's going to be about as helpful as Oprah Winfrey was in this cycle going out and talking to people. People like him because he's a little bit of a celebrity, but that's about it. And in terms of, look, down the last two stretches, the two weeks stretches going into the final election day, There was tons and tons and tons of pressure coming from never, never Trumpers, trying to manipulate George W. Bush and coming out and criticizing Trump and to endorse Kamala.

And to George W. Bush's character's benefit, he has always said, I'm not going to criticize those that come after me. I'm going to pray for their support. I'm going to hope that they do well. And that's what he did. He stayed out of it. That was a smart move because every one of those losers that were out there saying, you need to endorse Harris and put down Trump. once and for all? Wait a minute. First of all, it wouldn't have made any difference. You're giving George W. Bush credit or not?

He should have endorsed Donald Trump. I give him zero credit. He didn't endorse Mitt Romney. He didn't endorse John McCain. Yeah, well, he's, look, he's a bum for not having endorsed Trump. We were in an existential crisis. He just doesn't get involved, and he's held that principle. You know what, what baloney.

What garbage. He's a former Republican president. Shame on him. I'm sorry we had to end on that note. Kevin, we love you. We're great. to you, get some sleep. God bless you. Thanks for coming on. We'll be talking to you a lot in the days and weeks ahead, my friend. You got it. Be well. Hey, this is Eric Mattaxas. For years I've told you

Before we bring on our friend Albin Seder, who's in the house, I want to say that yesterday, I was telling everybody I'm going to be on Newsmax at 710, right? Newsmax, they keep doing this to me.

They don't call you up with the Skype or whatever. I don't know what's going on over there. We know we love Newsmax, but they drive you crazy. So I wait and wait and wait. Finally I get on. I mean, it was an agony of waiting. They give me like three minutes. And then Suzanne and my mom in the other room watching Newsmax said, you weren't on.

I think I was on like maybe Newsmax too. And the producers never bothered to tell me. I have no idea. But my mother, my aunt in Virginia and Uncle Kurt, they're waiting to see me on Newsmax. Nobody saw me on Newsmax because I guess I was on Newsmax too. A little bizarre, but I didn't have anything interesting to say anyway. So, Albin, can we believe that we are alive to say Donald Trump will be president, Donald Trump? Can we believe this?

When did it hit you last night? What time did you go to bed? That's my first question. I didn't go to bed until 3.30. I just stayed up and fell asleep, but watching in bed and fell asleep for three hours. and then I had a like in 2016, she woke me up and said, Donald Trump won, you know, Florida, he's going to be the president. I couldn't believe it.

So now I will occur up at around 2 o'clock and said, he's won, right? And I'll tell you, today's verse, today's verse is, the Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy, right? Here's something else. I've been going through the Old Testament, and I just happened today in my Old Testament reading, read Job chapter 5 and I wish everybody would read Job chapter 5 and this verse struck out at me. I have seen that fools may be successful for the moment, but then comes sudden disaster.

That's Job chapter 5 verse 3. Yeah, but you know it's freaky and a lot of people don't know this, but in the original Hebrew, it actually says Kamala Harris. Is that not interesting? No, that is Jonathan couldn't miss that. Why didn't Jonathan gone tell? us about that. Yes. I go to his church and he didn't mention it. Yeah, well, even Jonathan Conn misses stuff sometimes, not much. And verse, verse nine says, God does great things too marvelous to understand. He performs countless miracles. And that's obvious for my book. Wait a minute. Did you write a book and you didn't tell us? What's wrong with you? Yeah, it's so funny, too, that you know what? It's brilliant what the, the Republicans did this time. They said,

vote early, vote early, vote early. And what the Democrats did, they walked right into the trap. They did all the crazy things they did in the 2020 election. And I covered that in obvious. They did all those crazy things, but they had to do it before election day. So now suddenly we see all their conniving and all their tricks. And the Republican Party, because it was led by Trump's people like his children, they were able to attack all that.

and they weren't able to bring in those truckloads of votes they were hoping to bring in. But we're not saying that Jesus is political by speaking against corruption and lying and stealing, right? We're not saying that oven. Oh, by the way. Of course he would never take a stand against corruption and lying and stealing, because that would mean that he's against the Democrats. And we know that he's above politics. Right. And this is, I think, this was a turning point.

I think for Christians recognize what was going on, because we, can't forget that that moment of Kamala's rally where David French yelled out from the crowd, Jesus is Lord. And then she said, that's, oh, wait a minute, that wasn't David French. No. Well, I got that wrong. Okay. You know what I mean. That was an one man named Barabbas. That's right. Give us David French. I mean, Barabbas. I mean, gee, I mean, who, wait a minute. So, so like, listen, I think, I want to be clear. I've said this many times before. folks, this is this is, this is not politics.

This is about good and evil. And a lot of Christians are going to churches that they don't, they have no idea what's at stake. There's a level of ignorance. And I don't mean that to be insulting. I don't know what other word you use. If you don't know something, that's ignorance, right? Now, on some level, it's pejorative. But it's also just a statement of fact.

Like, there are people that they live in another reality. They don't know what's at stake. They don't know that when you have an open border, that there's children are being raped and trapped. And they don't know that. Or they kind of think it's just, you know, mega propaganda or something. And so I hope by the grace of God, a lot of these people are come to their senses. I hope that I put on Twitter the last lines from Lincoln's second inaugural, where he, says we need to bind up the nation's wounds with malice toward none.

We have been through a civil war. Now, to some extent, we're still going through it, but we really, I have to believe that, I shouldn't say this, I know, I know that God spared Donald Trump's life for God's purposes, not for us, not for God's purposes in history. And we have a lot to look forward to. we're going to see a lot of good things. I think we're going to see revival. I're going to see a lot of people come to Jesus who weren't there before.

I see great things. And by the way, one thing, a friend of mine sent me a text message this morning. He said, Eric, you should be the next press secretary, Trump's press secretary. And I thought, it's kind of funny. It's very rare that people say stuff to me that I go, that never crossed my mind like ever in the years of watching press secretaries that I would ever want to do that or could do that. But when my friend said that to me, I thought, not that I'm looking for the job, but if there were ever something that I might actually do, like, again, not that I'm expecting Donald Trump to ask

me to do that, but I really think I could do it at this point. And it would be fun. It would be a joy actually to do it. But I thought, we don't know what the next administration is going to be. Who's going to be in there. And Trump has learned the lessons by the grace of God because of the hell he went through in the first term, because the hell he went through in the last four years, I believe he understands whom to a point and whom not to appoint. You sheltered me from her. Get me warm. Get me warm. I'm so sorry. I interrupted you, Albin. We went to a break there. You were just saying something beautiful. Go ahead. Yeah, yeah. Your favorite verse at Romans 828, all things work together for good. And remember what Joseph said to his brothers, you intended it for evil, but God used it for good.

We saw it throughout this when they tried to assassinate him. Nope, he only got stronger. When there was that Puerto Rican joke and everybody said, oh, Trump is making fun of Puerto Ricans. But if he, if that joke had not been said, Joe Biden would not have called people garbage. And when Joe did that, it just, again, it was used for good. It was intended for evil, but used for good. When that four little squirrel peanut got executed by the state, you know, it was used for good. It's just amazing. I had to keep laughing and laughing to me, you know, him almost getting shot in that iconic photo.

To me, the other iconic photo was him leaning out the window at McDonald's given a big wave. It reminded me of my dad. My dad would be mowing the grass and somebody would go driving down, you know, the street. And they'd say, hey, Tony. And he would just give a big wave and go, hey, because everybody in town knew my dad. And it was like, he was your dad just saying hi. And everybody could relate to that. And I'll tell you something.

I've had tears in my eyes ever since getting up. I mean, I was up until 3.30 in the morning. And then I had to take my wife down to the train to go into work. But I've been having tears on. my eyes, just watching all this stuff and just remembering what's been happening for the last nine years. Let's face it. This is such a great victory. And my twin brother, I think, nailed it too. He said, the thing about Donald Trump, he's authentic. He's the real deal. He could be a jerk. He could make mistakes. He could be, but he's a real person. And he really loves this country.

And that's the difference between the Dems and the deep state. And Trump is not a Republican. he's Trump. That's what he is. He brings everybody in and on board, and it's going to be an exciting, exciting, hopefully four years and another eight and on and on and on. Well, you just, I mean, you've summed it up. There's something so beautiful. Something is happening in this country. This is big. This is big. And I want to underscore it's at its root. It's spiritual. We have had very, very dark forces. attacking. And the idea that so many people voted for Trump, I mean, the left wants to vilify him as the ultimate toxic male. And somehow people aren't buying that. Somehow people are saying,

no, no, he's a good dad. Yeah, he might not be perfect, but he's a good man. He loves his country. He's willing to fight for his country. And I tell you, what really astonishes me, I think it's what really lit me up was when I saw Trump's interview his conversation with Elon Musk on X. And I see these two geniuses just talking about everything and possible solutions and crazy stuff. And I thought, imagine if guys like this and RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard and Naomi Wolf and on and on, we could put our heads together. There used to be a phrase called American ingenuity, and that has been tossed in the grave, and it's time to dig it back up. And I think it's time to go. I honestly think that we forgot how to dream.

We just kind of thought, oh, it's managed flying on the Obama model. And it's like, no, no, we, the same country that put a man on the moon, we can solve our health problems. We can do, we can have things. I think Trump keeps saying it. And only Trump would go so far as to say something like this. Nobody else would dare to say it. He says, we're going to have a golden age. And I think to myself, you know, an evil person like Hitler would say, oh, yeah, we'll have

a thousand-year Reich. It's totally satanic. When Trump says we're going to have a golden age, there's something beautiful about that. And he's actually saying, no, we can be America again. We can have real freedom where kids are blessed in the schools that they go to, where people are blessed in their jobs. And so I... Yeah, I just want to say, and all of this came about,

if you think about the last line of the Declaration of Independence, where it says with a firm reliance and protection of divine providence on God, we mutually pledge, and this is all the people on board Trump's team, and all of us here on this broadcast, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. They went after Trump's sacred honor. They went after his fortunes.

They went after his very life. Those three big things from the Declaration of Independence. They went after all of them. And he beat them all with God's help, with reliance on the divine providence. I mean, it just blows your mind when you see that God really wasn't. I had been praying for miracles for a couple months. I said, I want to see miracles, Lord, that you can't say, oh, this was just coincidence. ends. And we saw miracle after miracle after miracle. I mean, it's just incredible. If people want to know

that there's a God who loves us, who's involved in our lives, this was it. This was it, folks. This election was it. Honestly, I mean, I had the privilege of talking to Trump was a little bit over a week ago at that event in Atlanta. And I don't even know how it happened, but I grabbed his hand and I said to him emphatically. Nobody else could hear what I was saying to him. But, and I'm sure many have said it, but I said it as emphatically as I could. I said, you need to know that your life was spared for God's purposes. You need to know that, not like maybe, but that's a fact. And understand that God has called you to do something great for the nation. This is about God. It's not about Donald Trump. It's not about America. It's about God. And the Lord spared him. And I think

did it in such a way so that everybody could see, wow, he should be dead. He should be dead. Can you imagine what would have happened if that bullet had entered his brain and exploded out of the back of his skull like JFK, the nightmare and where we would be today? But by the grace of God, God spared him for his purposes. And I really do believe we're on the cusp of something. Many of us, we haven't been able even to dream that could we have a new golden age in America? Could we put tariffs on other countries so that our economy would boom and America would thrive economically? Albin, before we go to the break, we just have one final segment coming up.

I just want to say, I got so excited when I found out that you and Ann were coming on the cruise. Because we're going to be on the go-kart track album. I'm telling you right now. And we're going to film it. We're going to film it. Yeah, well, it's funny. When you wrote to me and said, there's a three-story high go-car track, I said, you had me at go-car track.

Am I right? Okay, folks, if you want to look it up, you can look up the go-car track. Go to Ericmetaxis.com slash cruise. Ericmataxis.com slash cruise. We're going to have a party on the Mediterranean. Don't go away. folks final segment tomorrow on this program james o'keith Naomi wolf and john Zamirak but right now i've got three heavy hitters my friends chris hymns albin sadar keith junta albin final thoughts my friend

yeah real quick they falsely imprisoned j6 prisoners they must have been jumping up and down their confinement is almost over right and that Tina Peters person it's so sad. That's one of the saddest things, not just the stolen election of 2020, but these guys were in prison to cover up the crime of stealing an election. And one last thing about my twin brother and I, for months, we had been dreading because our birthday was on, was on yesterday, November 5th, and we said the best birthday present ever for us, and our combined age now is 140 years, by the way, but the best present ever would be Donald Trump reinstated in the White House. And God bless us and God bless America.

That present is all of ours now to share. Enjoy. Unbelievable. The J6 thing, I met Tina Peters. Mike Lindell introduced me to Tina Peters at Mar-a-Lago. That was like two years ago. All of this stuff. We've got a lot of work, a lot of work to do.

We need to get her out of there. Eric, but you know, you mentioned in the earlier segment that someone suggested you could be Trump's press secretary. And I think if you do get tapped to do that, you absolutely have to say yes, but I think you should consider doing it in character as one of your Greek cousins, you know. As the Greek, as the Greek, Caralambos, Camilo-Polos, the Greek person who has a thoughts about many things, but you are not prepared to hear what he's saying, because you cannot but receive this news. Okay, so Keith Jinta, you got any final thoughts?

Two quick things. As your brothers in Christ, we will have an intervention in Danbury. We are going to come up there in hazmat suits, and we're going to tear out that asbestos drop ceiling you've got in your new studio. We are going to make you safe again. And then I do want to say something. You referenced how the left has lost. their sense of adventure and greatness.

You know, like Elon wants to go to Mars and we're fighting about gender. And Douglas Murray said it perfectly. He said, the barbarians will be storming the gate and will be fighting about what pronouns to call them. They hate make America great again because they've lost a sense of what greatness is. And so we're swimming through gender and pronouns and nonsense. And it is time for that new age that you were talking about. Well, listen, and this is, this is all in God's hands, folks.

If it's not in God's hands, listen, I'm ready to go to glory yesterday. We all should be. But it is vital that we understand. God has called us to these things. This is for his purposes. I say this as bluntly as I can. I want to say, God bless America. And this is folks, I want to, before we go, I just want to remind everybody,
