That's legacy p.m. Investments.com. Ladies and gentlemen, he has a jar of peanut butter, and he's not afraid to use it. Here comes Eric Mattexas. Well, welcome back. This is our two. It just gets better and better. We have our friend Kevin McCullough. You know him as Votra Domas.

And by the way, Kevin McCullough, congratulations. I just learned from you. Something wonderful happened. Why don't you tell our audience about this? Well, I wrote my Sunday column as I normally do and it got published in townhall.com as it normally does. Townhall.com, Kevin McCullough, yes. And I do this after my Saturday night, huge, enormous TV hit on the Salem News Channel called Radio Night Live. Anyway, the next morning I published it, Town Hall published it, and I got an email

from someone in 45's office, President Trump, and the note was this. The president is out, wanted to make a specific reference of thanks for your article. Here's his quote. And then he said, Kevin, I love your work. Thanks for your diligence. Something about having a lot of work to do, Donald. And this is the second time in, I don't know, six weeks. He's done that. So I was flattered. And then this morning they posted it all over truth social. He truthed it not once, but twice on his account. So thank you, Mr. President. I don't know that it's deserving, but I tried to make sense and I hope that people understood it. I have to tell you, that's wonderful to hear that. I mentioned earlier, I have the great privilege of getting to be at Mar-a-Lago tomorrow night for the announcement.

I am a supporter of this president for many, many reasons, and I'm dismayed at the voices that are turning against him right now. I think it's simply preposterous to believe that Trump's day is over. It's so preposterous that I kind of just get speechless trying to answer it. I think it's so ridiculous that I don't know even what to say. I want to talk to you about everything, Kevin. So let's start with what I was talking to Steve Dase about. I can't get past the fact that there is fraud happening in our elections, that people are stealing.

Democrats are stealing elections. And we have leadership in the Republican Party that doesn't say one word, as though we're crazy for seeing what we see. That starts with McCarthy and McConnell. I don't really get it. How can they not deal with this? Do they not care? Are we seeing things? Are we imagining things?

What's happening? I want to be very clear that I do not put Kevin McCarthy in the same bucket with Mitch McConnell by a long shot. And I don't want to be associated with those comments specifically. but to your point that the rhinos, Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell would have done so. That's absolutely true. And all you have to do to just judge yourself on the test of what you're saying is they've had two years to do something about it. Why wasn't something done in Arizona where Governor Ducey was also one of the rhinos? He, of course, is no longer going to be governor.

But they did not in Arizona and in Nevada. they did not get the needed reforms done. You still got bad voting procedures in place. And despite the hope and the turnout of 6 million plus more voters for the Republicans across the nation, they were not able to overcome the, what looks like, direct corruption in those two states. So some states got their stuff really cleaned up. Wisconsin ran a super clean race.

Ron Johnson won with no problem. Florida cleared out all of its corruption. They counted seven and a half million votes in five hours. You had states that did a much better job than 2020. But if you allow this stuff to fester and to continue to sit there and not do anything about it, you're going to lose a lot of elections going forward. One of the real concerns I have for Pennsylvania is that Doug Mastriano was the only candidate in the Senate or the gubernatorial race that was talking about election integrity.

And Pennsylvania is permanently lost to corrupt elections. as I sit and look at them right now. I don't see any path for them to get back on track to having honest elections. So you're going to have to have an all-out rebellion of people that overtake them in elections going forward. And I just don't see the will to do it. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are going to run that state the way Chicago runs Illinois, the way New York City runs New York.

And that's, they're doom for right now because of the way the state party handled it in 2020. and even though Maastriano was out there every single day saying, hey, look at this, look at this. And he had the facts. They refused to do anything about it. It's tough to take in, I have to say. But let me give you some, you booked me to speak about the column that the president referred to. Absolutely. If you want to start there, let's start there.

Well, because it all matters, Eric. It all matters. And I want you to compare the efforts of Donald Trump. on one side and Mitch McConnell on the other. They both were influential in Senate races. But, you know, Mitch McConnell is going to pat himself on the back and he's going to warble out, well, I raised more money than they've ever spent in the Senate races ever. And that's true.

Like $178 million he divided up between four different, mainly four different Senate races, the last two of which he's just lost, Arizona and Nevada. Donald Trump, on the other hand, he gave money to candidates. But if you'll remember his successful presidential run, they financed that on like 16 cents a vote compared to what what his opponent Hillary Clinton spent and what Jeff Bush spent. They spent like dozens of dollars per vote. So Donald Trump's never said, well, you're going to solve the problem by throwing a lot of money at it. He likes efficient, hardworking effort. So what did he do?

He went out and he endorsed 219 candidates. No, no, no. he went out endorsed 235 candidates. Eric, as you sit and breathe, do you know how many of his 235 endorseees won? I do not. 219. Mitch McConnell couldn't even break 50% in the Senate races that he raised money for.

So I don't want to hear all this garbage about how much money you raise and how much our bark are fighting a good fight and we have poor quality of candidates. By the way, that's such an impression of a turtle that it frightens me. If there was a turtle in the room right now, I know that they would be crawling toward the camera. That was beautiful. The Trump endorses did. They performed well.

He lost some big high profile races like Oz, like Lack Salt in Nevada. They didn't pull through. But you can look at a lot of contributing factors to that. But it wasn't just that Mitch gave money. Trump went out there, held rallies, got people excited, drew media attention to himself. and didn't use it for himself. He said, I've got a big announcement coming up, and everybody thought he was going to announce.

And the media all shows up to capture the announcement. He goes, now here's who I want you to vote for. And he reads the whole list. This president, when he ran in 2016, he was wet behind the years. He didn't know the political system. He really had a lot of people on his staff that were in the same kind of category. He has learned from his time and being in politics now, these seven or eight years, that he's figured out a few things.

and he is he is becoming far more disciplined, far more precise, and far more on point. He's the wasted distractions off to the side are far fewer and the self-inflicted wounds are far fewer. So having said all of that, Mitch McConnell should be held to the same standard Nancy Pelosi should. She lost the House, if the votes hold. She will have lost the House. She needs to lose her leadership. He's lost the Senate, not one cycle, but twice. And I don't care how much money you're.

raise. If you continue to lose, you get fired and somebody else should become the minority leader in the Senate. And that person should be at the very least an America first proponent or advocate so that they are in line with where the party is when the party tries to elect a president come 2020. Okay. The title of your column at townhall.com is I worked on it really hard and it just slipped my mind. Oh, come on. I know the title. It's so, it's hard to pronounce people. It is McBy. Yeah, MC-B-Y-E. And it's a play on McConnell. Like so long. McBy. By. Bye. Adios. Yeah. It's time. Yeah. No, it's, listen, listen, Kevin. I think for me, part of the lesson in what we've been going through as a nation,

is it's ugly to see the corruption and the rot and the termites. It's ugly. It's not pleasant to see. But we have to expose it. We have to get rid of it. We have to build from the ground up in the right way. We'll be right back talking to Kevin McCullough. In case you haven't been paying attention,

the Biden administration has caused a financial crisis, and they have no clue how to fix it. Oil prices have skyrocketed. And when oil prices go, up the cost of transportation and shipping spikes, leading the prices of goods to rise. And when we're already seeing record inflation, that's the last thing we need. Our economy is in trouble, and you need to take steps to protect yourself. If all your money is tied up in stocks, bonds, and traditional markets, you are vulnerable.

Talking to Kevin McCullough, I call him Votes Tradamus. Votes Rue Damos knows all tells all. You are calling out the career politicians like Mitch McConnell.

I guess you have a better view of Kevin McCarthy. But I guess my question is, why doesn't somebody like Kevin McCarthy talk about voter fraud? Why does he – I just think it's such an offense against this nation that we would allow malfeasance, that we would allow that. allow that kind of corruption. It's hard for me to process, hard for me not to get angry when I see lying and cheating and people not saying anything. Full disclosure on Mr. McCarthy. Not only do we share the same initials, but at Atzinger, your boss and mine at the

Salem News Channel released an editorial just this weekend about why Kevin McCarthy is not a rhino. And if there's anybody in all of America that would know this, it would be at Atstinger. Stinger, who has basically mentored and shepherd Kevin McCarthy from the time he entered California politics as a local congressman 150 years ago. It's much shorter. Well, everybody knows I love Ed Adzinger. I appreciate what he says.

But why? But then why? But then just tell me that because there's a lot of good guys, let's say. He's got competing caucuses. So he's going to have several caucuses that are going to give him trouble in a very narrowly majority. Well, this is why I'm asking the question. I want to understand what's going on.

Maga caucus is going to compose about 80 members. So if he's at 220, that's going to be the largest caucus total. Then you're going to have the Freedom Caucus, which is going to vote most of the time in the same step with the Maga Caucus. You're also going to have the moderate caucus, which is going to be about 40 people. Now, they're not going to be able to get legislation done or much of anything else done unless they have that caucus voting with them on things. So right now, McCarthy is not out in front talking about all the stuff. in the news. That's what you and I do every day. He's actually sitting down trying to build this coalition that he's going to have to use in a kind of whipped way to make sure that people are

I want to be clear on this program. I am always very happy to be wrong. If I'm wrong about someone, I am happy to be wrong. I'm not saying you're doing it, but I'm hearing a lot of people, a lot of people, badmouth McCarthy confused. I think they're just confusing him with Paul Ryan, who was, who turned out to be a rhino of extraordinary measure. Okay. Well, so let's put McCarthy aside. I still am astonished at people who are willing to throw Trump under the bus. It doesn't make any sense to me.

Nobody has the charisma that he does. Miloianopoulos of all people did an interview the other day. And as he does, brilliantly explained what Trump has and that you could be as well, wonderful as Ron DeSantis is, Donald Trump has a kind of a magic with the electorate, an ability to fight and to communicate. I think, actually, it was Rick Rinell who said the other day in an interview that, look, if Trump wants the nomination, it will be his. And it appears that he does want the nomination.

And case closed. So I don't know why anybody, the never Trumpers seem to be really, really pushing right now. Let me just give you some insight on this because this is the other part of what my column was about. So behind the scenes with with and I'm grateful to McConnell for getting Trump's 300 judges approved in his term. That was that was monumental. That was historic. We have a, we, we repealed Roe v. Wade because Mitch McConnell got judges done. So I'm not going to, I'm not going to badmouth them on that.

But he dropped the ball in the last election cycle. He dropped the ball in this election. cycle. And the and the rationale for why he should stay as leader is just garbage, especially if these rumors are true that you're, you're kind of very, very covertly alluding to. But this, this get Ron DeSantis to oppose Donald Trump or get Glenn Yonkin to oppose Donald Trump is, is a, is a garbage argument. It's, it's, you know, it's a school, schoolyard brawl at best. And it's not, I don't even think it's legit. I haven't heard Ron DeSantis say he wants to run for president. I think either one of those men would be smart, though I think Glenn Youngkins ruined his chances

of it. I think both of them, either one of them would be smart if Donald Trump invited them to be on the ticket to accept. I think it would make sense. I think that this would be an amazing, I mean, Trump picking DeSantis would be a crushing combination. There would be nothing like it in modern politics. That's for sure. I'm guessing that that's where we'll end up. I don't think Ron is out they're going, hey, and there's this group ready for Ron. I know your producers have probably been approached by them. They approached us to get on the air. They're not formally associated with Ron DeSantis.

But you know who they are formally associated with? This group of elites that believe that they have the right to monkey up the primary. And Mitch McConnell has been rumored to be linked to that. So my very clear column yesterday was you deserve to lose your leadership for a lot of other reasons. But if there's even a hint of truth to this, you are willing to destroy what should be a very conflict-free primary cycle. If Donald Trump was the incumbent president going into his second term, nobody would oppose him. And nobody did in 2020. So you don't have, you don't, there's, and basically he's still the incumbent. He's still the top dog in the Republican Party.

Now, people have challenged sitting presidents for incumbencies. They've done that. They get beaten. They usually get run out of politics. That's the end of their career. But people run for president to accomplish different things. And in this situation, if Trump comes out strong, and I've already seen one poll since election night where Trump has a 50 point lead on the rest of the field, none of those guys are going to run.

Ted Cruz isn't going to run. Marker Rubio is not going to run. None of the future of the party is going to run because they're going to acknowledge that this is Trump's. It's his choice. If he chooses not to, if for some reason the sun goes down tomorrow morning instead of coming up and the whole world starts to reverse backwards like Superman's flying around it, then he says, no, I don't want to run. Then he should endorse whoever he wants to have take that mantle. But Trump's going to run.

And it's his to basically throttle everybody that's in the field with him. And then he'll have a clear path to just do one thing for the next two years. Call out the administration. Call out the corruption. call out the compromise, lower the boom and target the ammunition at the real problems, the progressive, the Marxists, they're trying to take our country away from us, and use that time to build that message and to build the coalition. He will unite the Republican Party.

I think he will have a very strong sway with independence if he stays issues focused in particular and doesn't get into these personal tete tetees. Like he's done a lot less of since he was in the White House. And I think at the end of the day, you want a united face point. pointing at the enemy, going towards the battle line. You don't want to have, you know, fighting in the ranks back behind the front lines. And if Mitch is stirring that up, he deserves to go. He deserves to lose leadership.

And when his terms over, Kentucky, shouldn't send him back to the United States Senate. To quote an article, I read it at townhall.com. McBuy. I got to tell you, Kevin, you know, if I'm very happy to be wrong about Kevin McCarthy, but I always worry about folks who are, you know, they're good at politics, but are, do they understand what is at stake? McConnell clearly is trouble. When he, you know, gave all this money to Murkowski, and that caused some of Trump's candidates

to lose. I mean, there's no question about it, that he is not, you know, he's not on the same team as we are. but for Carl Rove, I mean, again, these are people that we once thought were on our team. To oppose Doug Mastriano, it's just so dirty, I can't quite process it. I know we've talked about this before. Let me just give you one other example of why McCarthy doesn't belong in that conversation. Do you remember the raid on Mar-a-Lago this year? I certainly do.

I think most of the nation will admit that. President Trump could have spent three months talking about how wrong that was and making it all about him. He didn't. He stayed focused on the campaign and he stayed focused on the issues that the voters cared about it and he got people elected. You know what Kevin McCarthy did the day after that raid went down? I do not. He sent a direct message to Attorney General Garland and he said, this defies constitutionalism. When I become speaker, clear your calendar, save your notes.

you're going to be spending a lot of time with this. This is the best news I think I heard all day. There was no middle ground with McCarthy when President Trump's rights were violated. And he made that perfectly clear that he intends to hold people accountable. Okay. So this is a learning process for your humble correspondent in Arkansas. Actually, I'm so glad to hear that because I've been so sick of this. He sent him a letter.

He said, clear your calendar and save your notes. All right. Praise God. Well, listen. I still am trying to understand. understand we live in a country where elections are being stolen. What happened to carry, what's happening to carry Lake while we're talking. Who's going to look into this? Elections by the nature of what they are have to be looked into by the states that hold them. The Constitution empowers

each state to operate its elections under its own guise and authority. So if Arizonans are tired of corruption, they've got to fight to get it clean. And you, you know, You know where it starts? Clean your voter rolls. In every state, you have dead people that are still on the rolls that shouldn't be. They're not there in Florida. They're not there in some other places. Hang on. Forgive me, folks. Go to a break. We have a short segment coming up with Votes Stradamus. Tell me, Eric, why is relief factor so successful at lowering or eliminating pain? I'm often asked that question. The owners of Relief Factor tell me they believe our bodies were designed to heal. That's right, designed to heal. And I agree with them. So the doctors who formulated Relief Factor for, them selected the four best ingredients, yes, 100% drug-free ingredients, each helps your body deal with inflammation. Each of the four ingredients deals with inflammation from a different metabolic pathway. And that right there, approaching from four different angles, may be why so many people find such wonderful relief. So if you've got back pain, shoulder, neck, hip, knee, or foot pain from exercise or just getting older, you should order the three-week quick start discounted to only 1995 to see if it

will work for you. It works for me. It has for about 70% of the half a million people who've tried it and have ordered more. Go to Relieffactor.com or call 800 for relief to find out about this offer. Feel the difference. Talking to Kevin McCullough, Kevin, it's just great to get your perspective on everything. You know that I respect you. I wouldn't say publicly that I love you, but I do, but I would never say that publicly, but I will say that I respect you, man to man. So when When you look at what happened in this election, it is still happening. We still don't officially know that Congress is being turned over to the Republican Party. Is this not something that we need to deal with as a nation that the Democrats have played this game now for a number of years and they've worked it out where we're all somehow supposed to accept that it takes a week to count votes?

How do we proceed as a nation with this level of corruption? This is a moral issue as far as I'm concerned. It is, but you're talking about states that have been abandoning a moral basis for governance for a while. I mean, Eric, think about this. California is notorious for the amount of corruption and fraud that they have in their electoral processes. But what do they do? They elect one party to run everything all the time. Well, when you have one party in charge of everything, they're going to give themselves the advantage.

They're going to, they're going to, you know, go short on corners. They're going to do, they're going to all those things. And at the end of the day, if they're not really that interested in cleaning up voter rolls or making sure that prisoners aren't voting that shouldn't be and, you know, maybe a mail-in ballot system is really good because, you know, they can print them all, they can print all of them, regardless of how many actual voters are in a state, these types of ideas start getting floated and implemented. Then you have something like COVID come along and give them the perfect argument to the public to try to make that happen. Where you've seen elections get clean, you've seen efficiency.

It took New York and Florida one night to count all of their votes. One night, they had all of the races decided by the next morning. Why can't Arizona, a state that's not even one-tenth the size of either of them, be able to do that? That's a question worth asking. But Arizonans have to decide we've had enough and we want clean elections. If they're thriving in corruption, they're going to stay in corruption. It's a really good lesson, actually, about the depravity of man. Because when left to their own devices without accountability, which is what our system seeks to implement, this is what you get.

well um so where do you think we end up a week from now let's say i wish i had a crystal ball i thought we were going to possibly squeak out a win in both houses um i got to say of the what 19 races that are undecided uh the republicans need six seats and um they're leading in nine races so i would hope that those would hold and that we would have a small majority maybe a one or two vote majority um but we'll have to see in in in in the house of representatives yeah you you only think we will have a slight majority that's slight yeah well there's 19 races undecided uh republicans need six more seats to get the majority um and i think they lead currently in nine of the 19 races what do you think of the lauren

bobert race anything i don't know that one is really close um and she has built a slight lead from where it was at its closest. I think she's over 1,100 votes now. She was down to like, I heard at 1.12 and then 200, but it got back up to over 1,000, which is good. I don't know if there's an automatic recount statute in that state, but if she gets, if they get to the end and they certify it, if I were her, I would declare and go forward, not even look back. She's the anti-AOC candidate. She is, and she has been. Oh, no, she's terrific. So, you believe Kevin McCarthy will be the Speaker of the House. What happens to Nancy Pelosi?

I think she's done. I think she'll hold her seat for this term because she obviously got reelected. But I don't think the, I don't think the new Green Deal caucus, the AOCs, I don't think any of those people want her back. And she was a disaster for establishment Democrats last year, last term. So I don't, I don't see her. No, I could be wrong. Maybe, maybe she's got naked pictures on everybody. And she's going to blackmail them all.

I have no idea. But I don't see how she can forge a coalition that people would say, oh, yeah, she should be our leader. She, she irritated both ends of her own party, although maybe that's why they need, someone that, you know, they're all equally dissatisfied with. They're going to have to elect somebody. Do you think we'll ever get to the bottom of what happened with her husband and the man with the hammer? like we've gotten to the bottom of the Hunter laptop. Okay, that's a good segue since we just got a minute left. Jim Jordan, who is a hero.

And who Kevin McCarthy brought on to his leadership team. So again, he makes moves in the right direction. Okay. That's more good news. So Jim Jordan vows that he's going to launch all kinds of investigations. Are you excited about that? I only am as they produce evidence and bring justice about. If they set up hearings and goof off and make utter fools of themselves,

I wish we would then just focus on the agenda going forward. But there's a lot of questions about several different issues that have not been satisfied. The Hunter laptop, the big tech manipulation of the media coverage in 2016 and in 2020. What was behind the Hillary portfolio, the Russia dossier? Like how did all of these people do all of these wrong things? And no one's been held accountable for it. There's a lot of questions to answer. That's the question.

Where do you find yourself today? Are you back home? Are you traveling? Are you traveling? I'm back in sunny Southern California and we are taking a breather, a much needed breather after this wild year. And yeah, we're scheming and dreaming. Nobody seems to travel more than you. I'm so amazed at your traveling. You've been everywhere. I want to ask you a few things. First of all, you were with me in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. We were cheering on Doug Mastriano,

and we knew it was an uphill battle, but I've become convinced, and I'm never going to stop talking about this, that there is stealing and cheating going on in our elections. Nothing offends me. more. Maybe because my mom and dad are old, they go to vote. The idea that people across America believe in the system and they vote and then bums steal their votes or try to steal their votes, I don't know how you stop talking about that. I think whatever's going on in a number of

states is so corrupt and we've just got to deal with that. I mean, I just have to start there. Well, I think it's definitely disheartening. I think when you see, you know, like you look at like how in the world does a guy like Federman get elected. I mean, it's just the guy can't even talk. And you see that 52% of his votes came from mailing ballots or maybe even a greater percentage. And then you look at the states where right now that are in toss up like Arizona or Nevada

or whatever, and everything comes. down to mail-in ballots and like when the mail-in ballots start coming in they only favor one side and so you kind of begin to look at these things and you're like okay COVID you know was a smokescreen it feels like in many ways the lockdowns were you know not that the virus wasn't real but you know this this this this smoke screen to release mail and ballots to mandate that like in California, we just got told, oh, everyone's voting mail and ballots. And it's like, huh? Like, you know how easy it is to, to like do fraud with mail and ballots? I mean, you don't. Yes. Yes, they do. Shine it. Sign it. I mean, it's so easy. And so it's like, I feel like in a lot of ways,

I wish that the Republicans would have fought in the last two years a little bit more on that because now we're in the same predicament where, I mean, of course, me and my wife, we turned in our ballots, but who's to say someone couldn't get them from our mail and sign our name and no one's checking? And, I mean, it just is like kind of outrageous. Look, I told, I don't know if I told you this, but when I went to vote here in New York City, I gave the woman my driver's license. She refused to look at it. She just said, no, just tell me your name. What's your name?

What's your name? Just spell your name. And I said, uh, M-E-T-A, blah, blah, bye, she goes, met. Kevin Metzker, is this you? No, here's my driver's license. No, I don't need to look at that. They refused to look at my driver's license. And I actually said, excuse me, I said, this doesn't seem right. Don't you want to know that I'm the person that I'm saying I am? And she said, what are you a Republican? That's how gross it is. And so I said, you're saying Democrats cheat? And she smiled. And I got in an argument with another guy. But I thought to myself, this is happening

across the country and unless people stand up and scream and fight back. Anyway, I want to talk to you also about what you just had an experience. This is totally unrelated, but American Airlines destroyed your guitar. Yeah. It did. What happened? Well, you know, I travel, I've been doing it for, you know, 20, 25 years. And I always travel with really the industry's best flight cases. They're like, you can run over them with a tractor. I mean, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, They don't break. I don't have guitars break. However, it was like this guitar that I brought,

and I actually brought it with me to Washington, D.C., because I wanted to play it in the National Mall for a big event a few weeks ago. And it's one of my most expensive guitars. It's a handmade $15,000 guitar that's made by this famous Lutherer. And they totally destroyed this guitar. I mean, it was, I've never seen anything like it. It was almost like purposely sabotaging it. I don't know if it's because I have Jesus stickers on it or let us worship

stickers on. I don't know if it was like fair game for the American Airlines employees. But they destroyed it. I filed a claim, of course, and they refused to pay for the damages because they said that the case wasn't damaged as much as the guitar in their view, which is so ridiculous. I fly American all the time. I got a lot of stuff.

status with them. I'm very disappointed to hear that. That's this bizarre. That's bizarre, my friend. Let's talk about some good news. You have an album. Tell us about your album. How can we get your album? Brand new album came out live. It's live from Independence Hall in Philadelphia, downtown Philadelphia, the same place where we saw that horrific death speech by Biden. Two weeks later, we were there. We had this incredible, beautiful worship and prayer time with the churches of the city. And we captured that experience. And it's released today on iTunes, on Spotify, everywhere. And it really is, I feel like, you know, iTunes delayed it. They blocked it for several days, which is nothing new. I've dealt with this. However, it was finally released after the elections.

I wanted to come up before the elections. But I actually feel like it's a, it's really great timing, because we're grappling with the situation right now across America. There's a lot of hopelessness. And this album is just like a prophetic declaration, man. It just like lifts you up. What's the name again? It's called Let us worship Philadelphia. Let us worship Philadelphia and people can get it pretty much anywhere.

Let us worship. They can get it anywhere. And it is, it's powerful. It's one of my favorite live, live projects that we've done. It's got a lot of amazing, spontaneous moments on their prayer moments on there. My kids sing with me on the song Amago Day, the song of life that we wrote. And so, yeah, I think it'll be a great encouragement for people across America right now. Well, we've got to wrap this segment up, Sean, but you're just an encouragement to me.

It's great to see you around the country. We've got to pray for this country, folks, because God's hand has been on this country. And I know it's his will that we would continue to prevail and be a free people. But the church. has to get involved. The church has to be involved. We'll be right back to talking to Sean Foyt. You can find out more about my schedule at Eric Mataxis.com. Don't go away. Folks, I'm talking to my friend Sean Foyt, F-E-U-C-H-T. I'd like you to spell it correctly when you look him up, Sean Foyt. Let us worship Philadelphia is the new album right outside of Independence Hall. I just love that. That's a prophetic act of worship outside the place,

the Constitution and Declaration of Independence were created, historic spot. So where do we go from here, Sean Foyt? Yeah, I mean, I think that we've just been through a brutal, obviously brutal elections that are not, we've not yet over. You know, election day has turned into election week, our election month, who knows. And I think a lot of people are, yeah, caught in this place of, you know, what is our take? I will say this. This is my encouragement. I feel like it was historic that we overturned Roe v. Wade. That moment made history a 49-year prayer request of the church. And if it looks like we're coming out of that season and the pushback and the backlash from that is that we still maintain control of the house, which it looks like we will. I think that's an incredible win. And I think the party has to now go back and do some soul searching.

I do feel like, Eric, one of the things that's really heavy on my heart is Gen Z. And I put a tweet out there that Gen Z overwhelmingly, meaning D plus 28, voted for abortion on demand, mutilation of children's bodies, weed, LGBTQ, student loan forgiveness, lockdowns, open board. orders, casino and strip clubs being essential over the church. So we really need to go after the hearts of Gen Z. Revival is the only hope to touch that generation. I feel a burden for that. I think that's true, Sean, that revival is the only hope. And I think, look, just to be clear, I say this all the time,

we have spent like the last 50 years not teaching the truth to kids, It's not teaching the roots of, in my book, if you can keep it. I talk about America, and I realize I myself did not understand what it is that liberty really is and how God is necessary for liberty and how all the way that all works, that used to be baked into American life. And in the last 40 or 50 years, pretty much it hasn't been. So you have a whole generation of people that are completely ignorant of the, the outrageous blessing of what it is to have liberty, to be an American, and of what it takes

to maintain that. So it's really not a shock that they would vote that way. The media has been pumping out these false messages. So, but I think you're right. Look, I believe revival is coming. You've seen it. Mario Marillo is seeing it. There are people that are seeing this.

The news is not reporting on what happens at one of your events or at one of his events. So most people don't know it. It's why I want you on the program. so people understand there are things happening out there. Right. Yeah, no, you're right. And I mean, every time that we do a gathering, I mean, you saw it when we were together in Times Square, New York City,

5,000 people show up. And a large contingency of those people are Gen Ziers, you know, that are getting their lives rocked by Jesus. And I think we have to understand that the church has become so irrelevant in many ways to the lives of this generation, that this is why we have to bring the gospel to them. like we can't rely. I mean, I grew up, everybody was in youth group. Everybody, every kid in the 90s was in a youth group. You know, we all went to youth camp.

We went to youth meetings. We had some form of discipleship in our life. And that is not the reality anymore. And so we really have to expend our energy. We have to go and get these guys. We have to go believe that the gospel is strong enough to change our heart. I mean, we can look at their voting record and we can whining complain all day. However, the solution is the great commission. The solution is to see the gospel penetrate their hearts. And I believe they're hungry for it. This is why we're doing the kingdom to the capital. All 50 states were going every single capital city in the next two years. I want to talk to you more about that. We're at a time in this hour. Folks, look up Sean Foyt. Let us worship. Thanks for listening.
