1:18 This is Undaunted Life a Man's Podcast.
1:22 I'm your host Kyle Thompson.
1:24 Let's get into it.
1:25 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1:28 According to His great mercy, He has caused us to be born again to a living hope through
1:32 the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
1:34 That is 1 Peter 13.
1:36 Guys, I'm so excited to be here with you today.
1:38 And I'm so thankful as always to our donors.

1:56 And guys, if you have not left a review, please leave us a five star review and don't keep
2:00 this episode a secret.
2:02 Make sure you share this with all your friends everywhere that you could possibly share it.
2:05 Because today we're not doing quick hitters.
2:06 Again, if you've been listening and if you're caught up, this week is the week before election
2:11 week.
2:12 Okay.
2:13 So we got all the election stuff going.
2:14 And I've told you right from the beginning that I'm going to be giving equal time to both
2:17 Kamala Harris and to Donald Trump and here I am to give you the reasons, the ultimate
2:22 list of reasons to vote for Donald Trump after I did so on Tuesday as well.
2:26 Okay.
2:27 So on Tuesday, well, on Tuesday, I did the Kamala Harris reasons to vote for her.
2:32 And then today I'm doing Donald Trump.
2:33 But guys, these are very easily shareable around with all the people in your life and
2:37 things like that.
2:38 So make sure that you get this content into other people's ears because I've already heard
2:43 since Tuesday that that is one of the best and most cogent and complete lists of reasons
2:51 to vote for Kamala Harris.
2:52 So if you skipped over the last episode to get to this one, make sure you go back to
2:56 listen to Tuesday's episode, reasons to vote for Kamala Harris.
2:58 I think it'll be a very interesting listen to you.
3:02 But before I get into the reasons to vote for Donald Trump, I think this is very, very
3:05 important.
3:07 I've heard that upwards of 42 million, 42 million Christians are planning not to vote
3:15 in this election cycle.
3:18 Now what that means is not only are they not going to be voting for the general election
3:21 for president, but they will not be voting for the senators in the states that represent
3:26 them for House of Representatives and members in the states that represent them.
3:31 And that also includes the local elections, right?
3:35 So these are everyone from their local sheriff to their mayor to any of their state representatives.
3:40 Over 40 million Christians in America are planning not to vote.
3:45 So first of all, let me just say this.
3:48 I totally get it.
3:51 I really do because if you remember, a lot of you have been listening to the show for
3:55 a long time.
3:56 We're so thankful for you back in 2016.
3:58 I decided to leave the top of my ballot blank.
4:01 So I went in the ballot box and I voted for everything else, right?
4:05 For state Senator, for US Senator representing a state of Oklahoma for local election stuff,
4:11 but I did not vote for president because I did not think that Hillary Clinton nor Donald
4:16 Trump met my basic standards of human decency and conservatism.
4:20 I didn't think that either one of them, of course, Hillary Clinton wouldn't, but I didn't
4:24 believe Trump that he was actually going to govern conservatively.
4:27 I thought he was trying to seem moderate, lifetime Democrat, trying to seem moderate so
4:31 that he could win the election.
4:33 I was just as shocked as everybody else that he won the election, but then I was even more
4:37 decidedly shocked over kind of the long length of time that over his four years, especially
4:45 in the first three years of his administration, he was very conservative in the things that
4:48 he did.
4:49 Now, he spent way too much money.
4:50 He did some things that I clearly am not a fan of and couldn't co-sign, but he really
4:57 did a fantastic job in those first three years in terms of doing things in a conservative
5:02 way.
5:03 Obviously, the three Supreme Court justices that he got on to the Supreme Court, the overturning
5:07 of Roe v. Wade, which happened during the Biden administration.
5:10 All those are very, very good things because he did such a good job, and because I was
5:15 so wrong in 2016, I decided to actively vote and support him in 2020, and I am doing so
5:21 again in 2024.
5:23 But for you Christians, I want to reiterate a few points from that sermon that I talked
5:28 to Josh Hougherton about last week.
5:30 This is directly from his sermon because these are things that should echo in your brain
5:33 as you are literally sitting there on your hands saying that you're not going to vote.
5:38 First thing I would remind you of is that a vote is not a Valentine.
5:41 Just because you are voting for a candidate, that does not mean you co-sign everything
5:45 that they've ever said or done.
5:47 It also doesn't mean that you co-sign everything they are pushing for right now.
5:50 If you have a candidate in any office that's running where you agree with them 100%, might
5:56 I suggest to you that you need to expand your personal philosophies and constitution just
6:01 a little bit?
6:02 Because I don't think I could find a single candidate on planet Earth that I would agree
6:06 with on 100% of issues.
6:09 So stop treating your vote as if it's a Valentine that you're granting to somebody.
6:12 Also, he said, the ballot box is not a mailbox.
6:15 You're not sending a message if nobody is reading it.
6:19 So I remember back in 2016, I said on the show at the time that I wanted to vote for
6:24 Senator Langford, who represents the state of Oklahoma, James Langford, that I would
6:29 have written his name in for president.
6:32 And so that would have made me feel good eight years ago, but it wouldn't have done
6:35 a damn thing.
6:36 It wouldn't have done anything.
6:37 You know why?
6:38 Because the only thing that matters on the night of the general election is who wins
6:43 your state.
6:44 That's it.
6:45 So the ballot box is not a mailbox.
6:47 And lastly, Jesus isn't on the ballot, so get over it.
6:50 And I would add not just get over it, but get over yourself.
6:54 Because look, I get it.
6:55 Jesus 2024, like, yeah, I get all that stuff, right?
6:58 And maybe that lands with you or something like that, but Jesus is not on the ballot.
7:04 And just because there are fallible sinners on the ballot doesn't mean that as Christians,
7:09 we can absolve ourselves or abdicate our responsibility to the process that we are in here in this
7:15 country.
7:16 And I want to read you Matthew 5, 13 through 16 because this will kind of set the tone
7:19 for the rest of my commentary here, and then we'll get into the reasons for Donald Trump.
7:24 So starting in verse 13 of Matthew 5, you are the salt of the earth.
7:27 But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?
7:31 It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
7:35 You are the light of the world, a town built on a hill cannot be hidden.
7:40 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
7:42 And so they put it on its stand and it gives light to everyone in the house.
7:46 So let me be clear about this guys.
7:49 We cannot be a preservative, which is what salt is, salt, you know, preserves things
7:53 and, you know, extends the time before something decays.
7:57 We can't be a preservative if we're left with nothing to preserve.
8:01 And we can't be the light if there is nothing and no one to shine the light on.
8:07 Because I don't like being hyperbolic about elections.
8:10 Every time for the last, you know, 12 years or so, every election was going to be the
8:14 last election.
8:15 Right?
8:16 You know, if this person gets into office, it's the end of the country.
8:18 If this person gets into the office, it's into the country.
8:20 But the signs right now of Kamala Harris wins are so dire in point directly to the opposite
8:27 of human flourishing that I think it is imperative for every Christian to vote in this election.
8:32 And I'm not going to be squishy like some pastors and not give you a name.
8:35 You have to vote for Donald Trump.
8:38 Not because he is a Christian because I don't believe that he is.
8:41 And not because Republicans can save us, of course not.
8:45 But what we see on the Republican side of the ticket versus the Democratic side of the
8:49 ticket is a focus on human flourishing, okay, because you might be tempted to clutch your
8:56 pearls as a Christian and virtue signal by not voting for Trump or not voting at all.
9:01 But guys, we do have a duty to vote for candidates that will put forth policies and laws that
9:06 lead to human flourishing.
9:08 It is not hyperbolic to say that if Kamala Harris gets into office, that World War three
9:12 might be in the offing.
9:13 I'm not saying that's going to happen.
9:14 I'm not guaranteeing that.
9:15 I'm not prophesying that.
9:17 But it certainly is more likely we'll get into some of the reasons here in a second.
9:21 And guys, I agree with what my buddy John Cooper has said many times and I'll paraphrase.
9:25 But neither the Republicans nor the Democrats can save us.
9:29 And a lot of people have said that to which I would say duh.
9:33 But as John Cooper said, the Democrats will get us to hell much faster than the Republicans
9:37 will.
9:38 And so you can simultaneously hold these two thoughts and tension, one being that neither
9:43 the Republicans nor the Democrats nor the Libertarians or any party in America can save
9:47 us, duh, right?
9:50 Go back to the verse I said from the beginning from first Peter, but we have a responsibility
9:56 to vote for candidates that will put human flourishing at the center point of their administration.
10:02 The Kamala Harris and Tim Walts administration would literally do the opposite of that regardless
10:07 of what they're signaling and the Trump administration would certainly do more of that.
10:13 So with that in mind, let's carry that into my discussion here about the reasons.
10:18 And this is the ultimate list of reasons to vote for Donald Trump.
10:22 Okay.
10:23 So the first reason I would give you is they, you know, whoever they is did try to kill
10:28 the guy twice.
10:29 Three times the third, you know, assassination attempt.
10:32 We don't know if it was actually a assassination attempt or not, but there were two separate
10:35 assassination attempts.
10:37 And here we are a week before the election.
10:38 And if you think Donald Trump is completely safe until the election, like I don't really
10:42 know what to tell you, I think that they are literally gunning for this guy, which makes
10:46 you have to think why, why are there nefarious actors or potentially even deep state actors
10:52 within this country that are wanting this guy to not get the reins of power again?
10:58 There's something in that.
11:00 And so that is a reason to vote for him because it's like, they clearly don't want him in
11:04 there.
11:05 And these are people that are not aligned with you and the things that you want to do.
11:09 Another reason is that, and guys, I'm going to be going fairly quickly through all these.
11:12 Cause again, I'm not going to go super into all this minutiae and details because there's
11:16 so much information, misinformation and disinformation, a mal information, all this kind of stuff.
11:22 I just want to give you kind of a little bit of a quick hitter as it pertains to these
11:25 reasons.
11:26 One would be he has an America first approach and agenda as it pertains to policy and legislation
11:32 because I am not completely anti supporting other countries and people in other countries
11:37 because I do want to see as much human flourishing as possible.
11:41 But God is pro borders.
11:43 God is pro sovereignty.
11:44 God is pro nations.
11:46 And when I see people in our nation, like people in Maui or people in the Carolinas right
11:52 now are in Tennessee that are suffering because of natural disasters.
11:56 And we're sending billions and billions and billions of dollars to other countries around
12:00 the globe for it to be used by corrupt politicians, not actually for their people.
12:05 I don't like that because as an American, I want Americans to be whole before we start
12:11 trying to support other countries because the reality is guys, if you're supporting these
12:16 other countries and you yourself fall or fold as a country, not only can you no longer support
12:22 those countries, but you can't even support yourself.
12:26 So it's it's kind of like when you're on an airplane, what do they tell you if you're
12:29 sitting next to a child, get your mask on first and then take care of the child next to you?
12:34 Why do you do that?
12:35 Because that seems counterintuitive because guess what?
12:37 If you pass out on the process of getting the mask on your kid, neither one of you get
12:41 your masks on.
12:42 Okay, so get yours on as quickly as possible and then secure the child.
12:46 Let's focus on America first and then we can work on focusing on everybody else later.
12:51 Another reason to vote for Donald Trump is his economic policies while he was in office
12:55 during his first term led to prosperity there.
12:57 I don't think even the most liberal amongst us would be able to argue against that.
13:02 And the Democrats as policies have led to an economic reality that is stagnation at best
13:07 and ruinous for the country at worst.
13:10 And I will say both parties have spent way too much money.
13:13 The looming debt crisis that we have in this country will cripple and kill this country
13:17 eventually.
13:18 Will it be in my lifetime, perhaps, maybe even probably, but certainly by your kids or
13:23 your grandkids, life, you know, lifetime, we are going to be absolutely crushed by our
13:28 national debt.
13:29 So neither party, neither candidate is going to do well on that, but you can't look at
13:33 especially the first three years of the Trump administration and compare that to these four
13:37 years of the Kamala Harris and Joe Biden administration and see them as anything even nearing comparable.
13:44 Okay.
13:45 We are much better off financially when Trump was in office than we are with the Democrats
13:50 in office.
13:51 Another reason to vote for Donald Trump, and this is one of the main reasons that a lot
13:54 of people will be voting for him in this election cycle, that's illegal immigration.
13:59 Obviously, and you can come up with a myriad of different reasons, the Democrats for some
14:04 reason want the borders to be wide open.
14:07 Not just the Southern border, but also the Northern border where we're seeing a tremendous
14:10 uptick in illegal aliens coming through Republicans at least signal that they want the border
14:16 to be closed.
14:18 Now, when Trump says that he'll finish the wall, I tend to believe him.
14:23 The wall doesn't completely stop illegal immigration, but it does stymie it considerably, right?
14:30 That's why we've for millennia, put walls around cities that we wanted to protect the
14:34 citizens there in, right?
14:36 But when Trump says that he'll deport millions of illegal aliens, I don't really believe
14:42 him that much because the process and the optics of that would be horrific, but, but,
14:47 but, I do think that he will prioritize getting known criminals, known murderers, known rapists,
14:55 known gang members that are not citizens of this country, terrorists and all that that
14:59 are not serious citizens of this country, the hell out of here.
15:03 I certainly believe him when it comes to that.
15:05 Because there are certain countries are like, oh, we're not going to take these people
15:08 back.
15:09 It's like, oh, I'm sorry.
15:10 You don't get a vote like in Venezuela.
15:12 They literally let out their insane asylum and their max security prisons.
15:17 They literally let these people go and said head north and they did.
15:22 And so people were like, oh, look at Venezuela.
15:24 What a country like their, their crime rate is plummeted.
15:26 Their murder rate is plummeted.
15:28 Why is that?
15:30 Because their murderers are here now.
15:32 Their crazy people, their sociopaths, they're in our country now.
15:37 Their gang members are in our country now.
15:40 So I do think that Donald Trump and ICE and the people under his administration will get
15:44 these people the heck out of here.
15:45 Okay.
15:46 Another reason to vote for Donald Trump is when he was in office, and yes, this is anecdotal,
15:52 our enemies around the world were pretty quiet, but under Biden and Harris, they came alive.
16:00 So everyone was a little bit terrified when Donald Trump was in office, because they didn't
16:05 know what he was going to do.
16:06 Ben Shapiro said this story a lot, I've repeated here on the show, but when he was hanging out
16:10 with Donald Trump privately, it's like, you know, how did these conversations go with Vladimir
16:13 Putin?
16:14 And he said while he was in office that he told Putin that if he invades Ukraine, that
16:18 he was going to bomb the sh out of him, you know what I mean, going to completely bomb
16:21 the crap out of Russia, right?
16:24 And basically Vlad was like, no, you won't.
16:26 And then Trump's response is I might, and just having that 5% chance that Donald Trump
16:31 was not bluffing was enough to keep Vladimir Putin and the Russians at bay.
16:37 And so when Biden gets into office, isn't it so interesting that the Putin didn't feel
16:42 that way and he invades Ukraine, we've seen a lot of posturing from the Chinese specifically
16:47 as it pertains to Taiwan.
16:49 We saw Hamas go through with a major terrorist attack of our ally Israel.
16:54 We've seen so many different things. We've seen the Houthis, you know, this random bag
16:58 of ragtag, you know, stinky pirates that we could literally take care of in an afternoon,
17:04 you know, create problems with shipping that affects the United States economy and the individual
17:09 consumer all while Biden is in office.
17:11 And it's because no one takes him seriously.
17:14 They see him as a paper tiger or not, but not even a paper tiger.
17:17 He's a paper puppy at this point.
17:19 And so when Donald Trump was in office, these people basically reminding their P's and Q's.
17:24 So I think that's a good reason to vote for him.
17:26 Another reason this is related to the previous one is militarily speaking.
17:31 Trump seems more focused on making sure that our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines
17:36 are really good at killing people and breaking stuff as opposed to Harrison Biden, who seem
17:42 to be way more focused on making sure that more Latinks to spirit trannies are able to
17:47 get into the military.
17:48 Because this is all we've seen wall to wall for the last four years is we clearly have
17:52 a problem with recruitment.
17:55 There isn't a single group.
17:56 I think other than the United States Marines that are hitting their recruitment numbers,
18:01 because a lot of the recruitment stuff is not attracting young, virile guys that are very
18:07 patriotic that want to go and fight for this country and protect this nation from enemies
18:11 foreign and domestic.
18:12 We don't really see that.
18:13 But we're seeing commercials about, Hey, I'm a young woman and I have two mommies and
18:17 maybe the military could be for me or, Hey, you know, I've never really thought about
18:21 serving my country at all.
18:23 But here's a commercial showing me that actually the country can serve me.
18:26 So I will selfishly join the military so that I can be served in some way.
18:31 But when Trump was in office, not only did the soldier, sailors, airmen and Marines seem
18:36 to love the commander in chief, but again, there was a strength.
18:41 There was a piece through strength approach with Donald Trump that says, if you push,
18:45 we will push back way harder and you're not going to like it with Biden.
18:48 It's like, if you push, well, I'm going to signal that I don't like it, but I'm not going
18:52 to do a damn thing.
18:53 All right.
18:54 Another reason to vote for Donald Trump is judicial appointments.
18:56 So this is not just the Supreme Court of the United States, but this clearly does include
19:00 the Supreme Court of the United States.
19:02 So as it pertains to the Supreme Court, two of the most conservative justices are Clarence
19:06 Thomas and Samuel Alito.
19:08 Clarence Thomas is 76 Samuel Alito, 74 neither are neither one of them is signaled that they
19:13 want to retire within the next four years.
19:16 But let's say they do, let's say God forbid one of those guys gets sick and is kind of
19:21 forced into retirement because of their condition.
19:24 Do you want Kamala Harris appointing those justices to the bench to the Supreme Court,
19:30 or do you want Donald Trump doing that?
19:33 Because if anything, Donald Trump is signaled that he will put even more conservative people
19:37 than he already did because Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Comey Barrett, they're not perfect, but
19:43 they are more conservative, but they have made some very odd decisions that I would say
19:48 so far.
19:49 So they're maybe not as conservative as I would like.
19:51 He signaled that he would put someone on us even more conservative.
19:54 I don't think we'll lose.
19:56 What is that?
19:57 Kagan?
19:58 Oh gosh.
19:59 Breyer.
20:00 One more.
20:01 So am I or I think those are the other three.
20:03 I don't think we're going to see either one of any of those three leave, but it's not just
20:08 the Supreme Court, it is justices all over the United States because that was one of the
20:13 quiet things about the Trump administration is the amount of judges and justices that
20:20 he got put into all the different federal courts.
20:23 Guys, this is how the country is molded because the law is a teacher.
20:28 And so if laws are passed and are able to be withheld or upheld rather all the way up
20:34 even to Supreme Court decisions, that will have an irrevocable change on our country
20:40 and our culture.
20:41 So that's very, very important.
20:42 I definitely trust Donald Trump's judgment with judicial appointments way more than I
20:46 would Kamala Harris.
20:47 Another reason to vote for Donald Trump is it is very unlikely that he will make the
20:51 same personnel mistakes that he made during the first administration.
20:56 Obviously his first administration was like a clown car.
20:59 It was just ridiculous.
21:00 It was like a Chinese fire drill or just this revolving door of people and some of the people
21:05 that he had representing in his administration were terrible, like horrifically stupid people.
21:12 And so I don't think he's going to make those same mistakes.
21:14 He's even come out and admitted that he allowed a lot of other people to say, Oh, yeah, yeah,
21:18 keep these people in office and bring these other people in.
21:20 And you know, when you're the president, you have a whole lot of decisions to make.
21:23 And so you offload and offboard some of those decisions to other people.
21:26 And he says, at not going to do that again, certainly not going to happen.
21:30 And with that, I think it is very likely that Trump will actually drain parts of the swamp
21:37 that can be drained during his second administration.
21:40 That was one of the things that I was excited about in 2020 at the possibility of a second
21:44 administration, because now there's really nothing.
21:47 I say nothing.
21:48 They tried to impeach the guy twice.
21:49 There's now nothing that they can do to get you out of office.
21:52 And so you might as well go for broke swing for the fences here, right?
21:54 Like what do you got to lose?
21:56 And so I do think that he learned a lot from last time, because he basically didn't get
22:00 the last year of his administration because of COVID, but because of COVID, we saw a lot
22:05 of the rot that was coming from the inside of the beast that is Washington, DC.
22:10 I don't think he'll make the same mistakes as I pertains to personnel.
22:13 Another reason to vote for Donald Trump is the health initiatives that he is signaling
22:17 that RFK Jr. will help with in terms of this administration.
22:20 He seen them talk about make America healthy again, those types of things.
22:25 Obviously, there are major, major issues with things that are approved via the FDA process,
22:29 with things that are in our food, with things that are in our water, with things that are
22:33 in our cosmetic products.
22:34 And I think that those are fantastic things that he would allow RFK and others to take
22:39 care of.
22:41 Also a reason to vote for him is the inclusion of people like Elon Musk in his administration.
22:45 Now, I know it's like, oh, you know, Elon will have an official capacity within the
22:49 federal government.
22:50 Do you actually see that happening?
22:53 Guys running SpaceX and running Twitter and running like all these other companies, like
22:58 do you honestly think he's going to have time to work for the federal government?
23:01 Possibly.
23:02 Wouldn't that be something?
23:03 Like he goes into Twitter.
23:04 It fires like 80% of the employees and Twitter has been better than it ever has been and
23:08 it runs essentially the same, if not better.
23:10 Could he do that within parts of the federal government, maybe, but he's at least signaling
23:14 that he wants people like that in house.
23:17 Another reason to vote for him, these last three elders go quickly through in general,
23:20 he is for less regulation, not more regulation.
23:23 And so being an entrepreneur, being a pro business guy, a capitalist, obviously the more regulation
23:28 you have the less you have to flex your capitalist muscles.
23:31 And so I think the fact that he for every one regulation that was added three or four were
23:36 dropped in his previous administration, that is a good thing.
23:39 Another reason to vote for him is he wants to get the United States back to energy independence.
23:44 We were a net exporter of oil and natural gas when he was president, a net exporter, which
23:51 is great for America.
23:53 We're not giving money to countries that are tolerating us or potentially even hate us,
23:57 but we are exporting energy around the globe.
24:00 Trump wants to get us back there.
24:01 I am fully pro that, especially here in Oklahoma, we're oil and gas is king.
24:04 And the last reason that I'll talk about explicitly in terms of reasons to vote for Donald Trump
24:09 is because, because the collective we that is America was better off during the Trump
24:16 administration than we have been during the Harris by administration.
24:20 Just think about that.
24:22 When you were in those first, especially three years of the Trump administration, what were
24:26 things like for you?
24:27 Could you go to the gas station and not feel anxiety?
24:30 Could you go to the grocery store and not have to put certain items back once you got
24:33 to the checkout counter?
24:35 It's the practical every day like, did you feel safer?
24:40 Because I was reliably informed in 2016 in that election that Trump was going to get us
24:44 into all kinds of wars, even people in my family bought into the lies that the, you know,
24:49 the mainstream media was feeding them that Trump gets into office.
24:52 He's going to get us into World War three.
24:54 But did you not just feel safer overall?
24:56 Did you not feel better overall during that time period?
24:58 Again, people are like, but Kamala, she's mamala and, you know, I'd rather hang out with
25:02 her and you know, whether, you know, she seems empathetic and like she will give me a hug,
25:07 but is she going to provide a better country for us or is she part of the administration
25:11 that has ran us into the ground?
25:13 Something to think about.
25:14 Hey, guys, real quick, very early on in undaunted life, I knew I wanted to partner with a meat
25:19 delivery service, but I didn't know which one to do.
25:22 So I tried out several different ones and here's the thing that I found out about some
25:25 of the most popular brands that you've heard of before.
25:28 These are people that are sending you stuff that is produced here in the United States,
25:33 but every single month, you might be getting beef from a different farm.
25:37 And so one month, your box may be full of amazing beef in the very, very next month.
25:42 You're going to get stuff that isn't up to snuff and stuff that you don't want to feed
25:45 yourself or your family.
25:47 And so I wanted to partner with a farm with an operation with a cattle producer that is
25:51 giving you the same high quality beef every single month.
25:56 And that's why I want you to use the official beef delivery partner of undaunted life, primal
26:00 beef.
26:01 Primal beef is a cattle operation owned and operated by Sean Glass.
26:05 He's a retired Navy SEAL that partnered with Jocko Willink, yes, that Jocko Willink to
26:09 launch primal beef.
26:10 So what makes primal beef different from the other beef delivery companies?
26:14 It's a combo of the following.
26:15 It's all American black Angus cattle.
26:17 The beef comes from one farm and that's in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley.
26:21 The beef is all natural, no hormones ever, no antibiotics ever, no MRNA ever.
26:27 After slaughter, the entire carcass is dry aged and then hand cut by artisan butchers
26:31 and then flash frozen to ensure that it maintains tenderness, marbling and flavor.
26:36 And here's another cool thing.
26:37 For every box sold, primal beef donates meet directly to a member of America's Special
26:42 Operations Forces through the C4 Foundation.
26:45 So you can take pride in knowing that your purchase will help put literal food on the
26:49 table for America's finest warriors.
26:52 Are you salivating yet?
26:53 If not, it's probably because you're a communist.
26:55 Don't be a communist and try primal beef out today by going to www.primalbeef.com.
27:01 That's primalbeef.com.
27:03 Use the promo code CHYLE to get 25 bucks off your first order.
27:06 Again, that's primalbeef.com promo code CHYLE to get 25 bucks off your first order.
27:12 All right, guys.
27:13 And with this next section, I just want to remind you because if you are on the fence
27:18 and you're thinking, oh, man, I really don't like Trump, Kamala, blah, blah, all these
27:21 different things, I want to remind you of some of the things that Kamala Harris is on
27:27 record saying that she wants to do.
27:30 So don't take my word for it.
27:31 Take her word for it.
27:34 Okay.
27:35 And before we even get into this list, I want to remind you of something before it was scrubbed
27:38 from the internet and memory hold, she was ranked as the number one most liberal United
27:44 States Senator, even over Bernie Sanders.
27:47 If you think Bernie Sanders is a crazy loombag communist, which he is, she was considered
27:53 to be more liberal than him.
27:55 And that was a title that she wore, you know, proudly until she became the Democratic candidate
27:59 for president and then needed to pretend to be more moderate.
28:02 And guys don't believe for a second that she is going to be moderate.
28:05 This is what every single candidate does during the primaries.
28:09 They go as far to the left or to the right as they feel like they need to to get the nomination.
28:15 And then when it comes to the general, they at least signal towards the middle.
28:18 But if you believe that Kamala Harris would govern as a moderate, bless your little dumb
28:23 heart if you believe that.
28:24 So here are some of the things that Kamala Harris has signaled that she wants.
28:28 She doesn't want the Southern border to be secured.
28:31 Okay.
28:32 She is totally okay with allowing murderous criminals and terrorists into our country as
28:36 long as these people or as many of these people as possible can be shipped to swing states
28:40 where they will eventually be able to vote in national and local elections in mass, thus
28:45 destroying the country from inside out.
28:47 She doesn't think that illegal immigrants coming into our country should be treated
28:50 as lawbreakers, even though the very act of them coming across our sovereign border is
28:56 breaking the laws of our country.
28:58 And with that, she wants to abolish immigration and customs enforcement.
29:02 That's ice, obviously because this works into the previous two things that I've talked about.
29:06 She is pro anti-American organizations like Black Lives Matter and Antifa.
29:11 Remember that she actively raised bail money for the rioters during George Floyd summer.
29:15 So don't forget that.
29:16 She wants to end the Trump tax cuts, even though they have done amazing things.
29:21 And I can speak from personal experience for the private sector, families and entrepreneurs.
29:26 She is pro gun confiscation, even though she calls it a gun buyback, which again, guys
29:31 would potentially lead to a second civil war in this country.
29:35 She wants Medicare for all, which would further bankrupt the country and destroy our health
29:39 care system.
29:40 But also we would no longer be the leading health care innovator because there wouldn't
29:44 be any money in it for the innovators.
29:46 She wants to do even more student loan forgiveness, as they call it, which would further plunge
29:51 this country into debt because there is no forgiveness.
29:54 You're just moving that debt onto other people, which would then punish American taxpayers
29:58 that chose not to rack up tons of debt to get a useless degree.
30:02 She wants a ceasefire from Israel and their war against Hamas and now with Hezbollah,
30:07 which would only incentivize more October seven style attacks in the future.
30:11 She supports a supposed or so called two state solution between Israel and Hamas, even though
30:17 is literally impossible to have a two state solution when one of the states express purpose
30:22 for existence is to stop the existence of the opposite state.
30:25 So Hamas literally wants Israel and all Jews to not exist.
30:30 And more basically Hamas is not a country.
30:33 It's a terrorist organization.
30:35 It's a terrorist organization that was voted into power and then they just kept power.
30:39 But if there was an election today in the areas that they are in control of, they would
30:43 be reelected into a position of power.
30:45 You can't have a two state solution with that.
30:48 She also wants to end fracking, which would thus further our dependence on foreign oil
30:52 for many countries that either don't like us or just tolerate us.
30:54 As I've said, as opposed to just going back to being a net exporter of oil and natural gas.
31:00 And guys, the list could continue.
31:02 The list could certainly continue with what she is on record as having said, okay, and
31:07 go back to the list that I just ran through.
31:10 If that was a little bit fascist, rewind, rewind, rewind and listen to it again, but the biggest
31:16 reason to vote for Donald Trump over Kamala Harris is that the hair and listen guys listen
31:22 in here, the Harris walls administration would be the most pro baby murder administration
31:30 in American history and there would be no close second.
31:35 Let me remind you of the current Democratic party official platform as it pertains to
31:41 abortion.
31:42 It's abortion for any reason at any point of pregnancy without protections for infants
31:49 born alive after botched abortions and all of that paid for by American taxpayer dollars.
31:58 Guys they want that to be the law of the land across the entire country essentially screw
32:04 your backwards red state essentially we're getting rid of federal federalism again abortion
32:08 for any reason at any point of pregnancy without protections for infants born alive after botched
32:13 abortions and paid for by taxpayer dollars.
32:16 Believe me, I want to challenge the fact that I would even say that here's the thing guys,
32:23 Kamala Harris is on record on record saying that she supports nuking the filibuster in
32:30 the United States Senate in order to codify abortion rights into federal law.
32:35 So if any of that was confusing quick civics lesson for you guys, the filibuster is where
32:39 a group of US senators or even a single US senator can exercise their right to unlimited
32:45 debate on the floor of the Senate, okay?
32:48 And if that happens what that basically means is the business of the Senate cannot continue
32:53 because this person is just going to debate debate debate debate debate they're filibustering
32:57 in that exact moment.
32:59 So the Senate business cannot continue.
33:01 Now in this scenario, the Senate majority leader can in the filibuster by filing a motion
33:07 to invoke cloture, which currently requires 60 votes of the 100 senators to succeed.
33:13 And now cloture, that just means that the debate has to end like, okay, great, heard
33:17 it.
33:18 The debate has to end.
33:19 There has to be a vote on the legislation now.
33:21 That's what cloture is.
33:23 So in the United States Senate, there is rarely a 60 seat majority for either of the Republicans
33:29 or the Democrats.
33:29 So this is a check that our founders and you know, the filibuster has changed over time,
33:34 but this is a check on any crazy legislation that would affect the entire country that
33:39 is put forth by a singular party, okay?
33:42 But by nuking the filibuster, a simple majority of 51 votes, so that's either 51 actual votes
33:48 from senators or in the event of a 50/50 tie, the vice president would cast the 51st vote
33:53 on one side or the other.
33:55 A simple majority of 51 votes would be all it would take to have cloture.
34:01 And if Democrats could find a way to establish an almost certain and permanent majority of
34:05 the United States Senate, more on that in a second, they could immediately ram through
34:10 all of their hyper left wing political agenda, just one by one by one.
34:16 So I want to repeat something that I said during the quick hitter section on episode
34:19 666 from last week, if Kamala Harris is elected, and if she does nuke the filibuster, which
34:25 she has said that she is a fan of, it will not stop at federal abortion law.
34:30 You're a fool if you believe that she will do it for federal abortion law and for nothing
34:34 else.
34:36 Democrats will move to make Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico states officially states the
34:40 51st and 52nd states in the United States, leading to four extra senators that will all
34:45 be Democrats, which would leave to potentially a permanent democratic control United States
34:50 Senate.
34:51 They will move to have term limits on Supreme Court justices, and they will make sure that
34:55 there is a stipulation in there where they can bounce current justices that have served
34:59 longer than that to period, which would mean Thomas and Alito would be out.
35:03 They would stack the Supreme Court so they would stack it from nine justices and they
35:07 would add way more justices, and then they would put all those justices in under a democratic
35:12 administration, thus leading to basically a permanent liberal bin on the Supreme Court.
35:17 Federal election law and control, and so you're not going to have a local election law and
35:21 control anymore.
35:22 So they're going to do federal election law.
35:24 We will see way more, a way less in person voting.
35:27 We're going to see more problems with the elections with ballot harvesting with all kinds
35:32 of things like that.
35:33 We would see blanket amnesty for illegal immigrants and or allowing non citizens to vote in all
35:39 elections, which would essentially end any Republican chances in federal elections.
35:43 And I added one that I didn't say last week.
35:45 They would enshrine the so-called so-called a quality act.
35:48 So basically anything that's even vaguely anti LGBTQ, maybe at your kid's school or in the
35:54 city that you live in, you're going to be able to be sued for those types of things, right?
35:59 So if you object to a male playing on your daughter's volleyball team in high school
36:05 or something like that, that's going to be problematic for you.
36:08 You could be sued for that.
36:10 You could potentially go to jail for trying to stop something like that.
36:13 But here's the larger point, okay?
36:16 If Kamala Harris is elected and the Democrats and her decide to nuke the filibuster, they
36:22 will not stop at reinstating the tenants of Roe v. Wade, okay?
36:27 They won't just stop there with what they had.
36:30 They will go way past that way past it, okay?
36:35 Again, the Democrats current party platform on abortion is abortion for any reason at any
36:41 point in pregnancy without protections for infants born alive after botched abortions
36:45 and paid for by taxpayer dollars.
36:47 When Roe v. Wade was basically enacted when it was still, you know, in force here in this
36:53 country, essentially the only states off top my head that I can remember that had laws
36:57 like that were California, Illinois and New York and perhaps New Jersey, okay?
37:02 So a small handful of states, but if Democrats get their way, that will be the law of the
37:08 land across the entire land.
37:11 Can you imagine the literal bloodbath if they were able to get that power?
37:16 Again, Christians, you don't feel any need to vote.
37:20 Here's the thing.
37:21 A lot of you Christians have taken the bait of allowing people to shame you for being
37:27 a one issue voter.
37:28 Oh, you can't just be a one issue voter.
37:30 Yeah.
37:31 If your one issue is tax policy, I would probably agree with that.
37:33 If your one issue is foreign aid, I probably agree with you, but if that one issue is life,
37:40 the most fundamental of all issues, if you really think about it, that's certainly big
37:44 enough to be a one issue, a one issue that is going to basically guide all your other
37:50 decisions because what you support as a politician, as a pertains to image bearers of God tells
37:56 me just about everything I need to know about you because if you are okay with the Democratic
38:00 Party platform, I'm going to keep repeating it because I want you guys to internalize
38:03 it, abortion for any reason at any point of pregnancy, including the day of birth without
38:11 protections for infants that have actually survived, thank God, a botched abortion and
38:16 paid for by taxpayer dollars paid for by you.
38:21 If you support that, it tells me everything that I need to know about you and it certainly
38:25 tells me that you're not a Christian.
38:27 Now, you might immediately respond with and rightfully, Hey, Kyle, haven't you seen the
38:32 things and heard the things that Trump and the campaign have have said about abortion?
38:37 Like he's signaling that he's going to moderate on the issue.
38:39 And what I would tell the Trump administration is that this is a big misstep.
38:43 If they lose, this is going to be one of the reasons that those 30 or 40 million Christians
38:47 sat on their hands because you signaled that you wanted to kill more babies.
38:51 But look, Trump is saying things that I don't like about abortion right now.
38:58 He certainly is.
38:59 I think some of the things that he has said out loud are egregious and I clearly do not
39:05 support the things that he said.
39:07 Also, I don't think and I've said this a bunch on the show.
39:10 I do not think that Donald Trump is pro life in his heart.
39:13 No, I don't think so, but also I don't care if he's pro life in his heart.
39:18 I care how he legislates like, let's say I gave you two options.
39:21 So we'll leave the candidates names out, but it's candidate one and candidate two candidate
39:26 one is fervently and legitimately pro life in their heart, but they will legislate in
39:32 a pro choice pro abortion way.
39:35 That two is not pro life in their heart, they're actually more pro abortion, but they will legislate
39:41 in a way that is more pro life.
39:42 Which one would you take?
39:45 Which one would you take one or two?
39:48 You have to go with number two.
39:49 I don't care what they think in their heart.
39:50 I care how they legislate because here's the reality guys, both Trump and Harris are signaling,
39:57 signaling moderation on the abortion issue, right?
40:01 Signaling it.
40:02 Well, I guess Harris really is and that's like the center point of her campaign.
40:05 So let me buy that back a little bit.
40:06 Trump is signaling moderation on the abortion issue.
40:09 However, it is clear that Harris will 100% legislate radically to the left on the issue
40:17 of abortion.
40:19 And it is pretty clear if his first four years in office or any indication that Trump will
40:23 legislate to the right on the issue of abortion.
40:27 Like if again, we can't tell the future, but it would be a complete 180.
40:34 But Kamala Harris got into office and was like, actually, no, we're not going to kill
40:37 a whole lot of babies.
40:38 That's actually not very good.
40:39 Right?
40:40 I mean, we should pray for that if she gets into office that she does repent of sin that
40:44 she does return to Christ and that she does legislate in a way that would be honoring
40:47 to God.
40:48 But Trump has actually been in office before.
40:51 And even though I don't think he's actually pro life, he in one administration became
40:55 the most pro life and most effective pro life president in the history of this country.
40:59 So that's the reality.
41:00 But as we wind do a close here, I do want to talk about the possibility that Trump loses.
41:05 Because right now, if I had to guess a month ago, I'm sitting in Joby Martin's house with
41:08 his wife and a couple of his neighbors, the cops and my wife was there and all that.
41:13 These are, it's funny because their last name is cop and the guy is actually a cop, but
41:17 there weren't just a bunch of cops hanging around.
41:19 So just to be clear, there were six of us.
41:21 Anyway, Joby just asked me in front of everybody, Kyle, what's going to happen in the election?
41:24 And before he could even finish the sentence, I'm like, Kamala's going to win.
41:28 Because a month ago, I was like, the polls look terrible for Donald Trump.
41:33 He was making some bad mistakes.
41:34 He wasn't performing well.
41:36 The debate did not go well.
41:37 This was like the day after the debate when we're having this conversation, I was like,
41:41 yeah, I think between her, the mainstream media, Trump's mistakes, what the polls look
41:45 like right now in any chicanery that might come with the actual casting of ballots.
41:51 I think that he could lose now where we're at now is Trump is currently reporting to the
41:57 best polls.
41:59 He's within one point nationally, which if he's within one point nationally, he wins
42:02 the election.
42:03 But also more importantly, he is leading in all the swing states.
42:06 So he's leading in Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, Nevada, Washington, or not Washington,
42:12 Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
42:15 He's leading in all those things as it pertains to to the polling in Vegas.
42:20 The Vegas odds again, they don't like losing money.
42:22 They have Trump winning as well.
42:24 So if I had to bet right now and put my life on, I would say that Trump probably wins.
42:28 But if Trump loses, here are some of the reasons why it would have happened.
42:33 First is that the Kamala Harris campaign and the mainstream media, but I repeat myself,
42:37 they will have actually fooled enough people into voting for her.
42:41 They would have convinced enough people that Donald Trump is actually, you know, orange
42:44 Satan Hitler, some combo of that, and that democracy would potentially end, even though
42:50 we're a constitutional republic and that Kamala Harris is a fresh new face and that she wasn't
42:55 actually in this administration and that she's not just Joe Biden, but dumber and female.
43:00 Like she's not any of those things.
43:03 She's actually the hope that we need the change that we need.
43:07 She is female half black Obama, like that is exactly who Kamala Harris is.
43:12 And so if Trump loses, I think that's going to be part of the reason why is because they
43:16 were able to romance people into thinking the exact thing.
43:19 The second reason would be that there would be ballot box chicanery.
43:23 Good word.
43:24 Second use of it today.
43:25 So here's the thing.
43:26 I don't believe that the 2020 election was decided by voter fraud, but I also believe that
43:30 there clearly was voter fraud in the benefit of Joe Biden in that election.
43:35 The reason why I'm saying it didn't decide the election is because the Donald Trump administration
43:39 or any of their lawyers, they didn't even allege that in court.
43:42 They certainly didn't prove that in court.
43:43 I don't care about the documentaries that you have to show me and I don't care about this
43:46 Reddit board that proves that this ballot box was dropped this and that and the other thing.
43:51 But if it's close and you're telling me that the Democrats could just drop 10,000 votes
43:56 for Kamala Harris into one area of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania or Michigan, which could flip
44:01 the entire election that they wouldn't do it.
44:04 It's possible they could.
44:06 And another reason why Donald Trump would potentially lose is that he was on the ballot
44:10 to begin with.
44:12 And that's enough for millions of people because you guys have clearly probably seen or you'd
44:19 probably seen these up to this point, but these man on the street interviews where people
44:23 have gone to the DNC to the convention when they've gone to these woke left-wing campuses
44:27 or they've just gone to left-wing cities or things like that and they're just man on
44:30 the street interviewing people and they ask people, what is Kamala Harris's greatest accomplishment?
44:36 And they can't come up with anything.
44:38 But then they'll ask them, wait, are you voting for Harris or Trump?
44:41 They're like, oh, Kamala Harris.
44:42 And they're like, well, why?
44:43 And they're just kind of, and then they eventually find themselves to the actual answer, which
44:48 is, well, she's not Trump.
44:51 I go back to 2020 and when a guy that I know that is actually pretty moderate was trying
44:54 to decide between Trump and Biden and he goes, Kyle, I just can't have a vote for Donald
44:58 Trump.
44:59 A guy like that.
45:00 I can't have a vote like that on my record.
45:03 And as dumb as that is voting for somebody because you just don't like them personally.
45:08 You wouldn't want to hang out with them.
45:09 You wouldn't want to have a beer with them is a really, really, really stupid reason to
45:13 not vote for somebody and to vote for the other candidate.
45:15 It's really, really dumb.
45:16 But guess what?
45:17 You're very, very smart and intelligent and well-informed vote is canceled out by the
45:22 vote of Amoron.
45:24 And that's a system of marine guys.
45:27 And that's the best we could probably do.
45:29 Now, there are other people that are like, hey, we shouldn't have as many people voting.
45:33 We should only have people that can probably spell their own names and give a basic, you
45:38 know, passive fifth grade civics test or something like that, which, you know, maybe
45:42 there's a good argument for that.
45:44 But the fact that he's even on the ballot hurts the Republicans because it's already
45:49 been memory hold that the guy was shot.
45:51 It's already been memory hold that he was trying to be killed again.
45:54 And all these things have come down.
45:56 But remember what I said from the very beginning when I was supporting Ron DeSantis is that
46:01 he's not nuclear.
46:03 Ron DeSantis may not get you excited.
46:04 He may not make you laugh.
46:05 Again, the fact that Donald Trump did the greatest maybe troll job of all time by working
46:10 temporarily at a McDonald's and, you know, serving up fries and doing, doing the checkout
46:15 counter and the drive-through counter and all that one of the greatest trolls of all
46:17 time because Kamala Harris claimed to have worked at McDonald's.
46:20 There's no evidence that she ever worked at McDonald's.
46:21 And so Donald Trump worked there for a half hour and that's a half hour longer than Kamala
46:24 ever did.
46:25 All that great.
46:26 It's great comedy.
46:27 When he did that roast at the little Catholic dinner thing a couple of weeks ago, New York
46:30 man, super great, super funny, you know, brutal jokes, all that.
46:34 But I'll take a boring guy that gets crap done.
46:37 Ron DeSantis is kind of a boring guy when you see him on the campaign trail.
46:40 He's not bombastic in debates and he's not going to absolutely get you super fired up.
46:45 But he also doesn't come with any of the foibles and any of the baggage of a guy like
46:47 Donald Trump.
46:48 So if he loses, I want you all to remember, we had other options, but I'm going to go
46:52 back as we wrap up here to the scripture that I shared from the beginning from 1 Peter 1
46:56 3, blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
47:00 According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through
47:04 the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
47:07 So guys, what I would say, and as a lot of people have said is yes, yes, our only ultimate
47:14 hope is the blood of Christ, but also go vote.
47:20 When you do vote Trump, all right, guys, that'll do it for today.
