This is Undaunted Life, a man's podcast.
0:21
I'm your host Kyle Thompson, let's get into it.
0:24
Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them of Ephesians 5-11.
0:29
We have 11 guys.
0:30
We've said that scripture a lot lately.
0:31
It might be a good luck scripture, and we'll get more into that here in just a second.
0:34
But I just wanted to say thank you to all of you guys that have been donors to us and
0:38
to what we've been able to do.
0:39
I've told you from not from the beginning, but in the last several months that the only
0:42
way we're able to expand what we're doing, and we have some huge expansion announcements
0:46
that we hope to get to before the end of the year.
0:47
The only reason we're able to do that is because of donors, and even just before I got on this
0:51
podcast today, we have a new $200 a month donor.
0:54
Okay.
0:55
On our website, undaunted.life/donate, that's where you can go to be a one-time donor, drop
1:00
in to do a one-time thing, or you can come in and be a part of what we're doing on a
1:03
monthly basis.
1:04
We have guys that are doing $5 a month, all the way up to $500 a month or even more.
1:09
Guys, this is how we're able to grow because I hate that everything costs money, but things
1:13
cost money.
1:14
It takes time.
1:15
The only way we're able to equip men to push back darkness is with you.
1:18
So that is the commercial undaunted.life/donate.
1:21
We appreciate you guys very, very much.
1:24
Now, I need to tell you something right from the jump here, okay?
1:28
You're going to 100% want to stick around on this episode until the quick resilience boost.
1:34
And I know, I know a lot of you guys turned this show off before the very, very end.
1:38
Usually the quick resilience boost is just kind of a summary of all the different things
1:41
that I've talked about in the show.
1:42
It's a summary of the links that I have, whether it's an interview or a regular podcast, but
1:46
not with this one.
1:48
I thought about doing an entire episode on what I'm going to talk about here on the
1:51
quick resilience boost at the end, but I'm going to save that for you.
1:54
I just want to put this as like a little Easter egg inside this episode.
1:57
I don't even know if I use that reference right, but it's at the end here.
2:00
And I guarantee you, you guys, if you haven't heard of this story already, you're going
2:04
to want to hear from me.
2:05
So don't don't turn this off until you get to the very, very end.
2:09
Okay.
2:10
Now, moving on to today's subject and speaking of which I give you a lot of content this
2:14
week.
2:15
All right.
2:16
I think this is the third podcast this week.
2:17
So, hey, I'm here for you.
2:18
I'm trying to keep you in the know.
2:20
But this statement that I'm about to make is going to be very satisfying to say out loud.
2:26
And that's why I'm calling the episode, what it is score one for the domestic terrorists.
2:31
And if you don't know what I'm talking about, I mean, you haven't been listening to the
2:35
episodes over last month or so, episode two 45 of this podcast, I did an episode called
2:39
when the government treats parents like domestic terrorists.
2:42
And I went into a lot of detail again, go back to episode two 45.
2:45
I went into a ton of detail about what was going on with the national school boards association
2:50
writing a letter to the Biden administration to the White House saying that they wanted
2:53
federal law enforcement to intercede for them in their school board meetings and things
2:58
like that.
2:59
You know, and basically asking them to use the Patriot Act, which would treat these
3:03
parents, these angry parents at school board meetings and angry for really, really good
3:06
reasons like anti LGBTQ stuff or anti trans stuff or anti critical race theory, things
3:12
that treating those people like domestic terrorists.
3:15
And that was sent over to the attorney general, Mayor Garland, and he basically went right
3:18
along with it.
3:19
He didn't do any of his own research.
3:21
He got exposed on on Capitol Hill as somebody that literally had no idea what was going
3:25
on.
3:26
He was taking the NSBA at their word.
3:27
So I talked about that on episode two 45, then on episode two 47 called school board hides
3:32
child rape in order to pass a transgender student policy.
3:35
I focused on what was going on in Loudon County, the story that was broken over there by the
3:39
daily wire folks about them hiding the rape of a couple of their students and the sexual
3:45
assaults of a couple of their students in their school board around the same time they were
3:49
trying to get a transgender policy passed and the parents finding out about this and
3:52
this, you know, causing everybody to freak out and go crazy.
3:55
So make sure you go back to listen to episodes two 45 and two 47 to get a little bit more
3:59
context.
4:00
But one thing that I mentioned, and I think I mentioned it on a couple of those episodes
4:03
and maybe even on one that I haven't listed there, I mentioned how all of this information
4:07
that was coming to light, all these news stories, all this breaking news, how it would directly
4:11
affect the gubernatorial race in the state of Virginia between heavy Democratic favorite
4:16
Terry McAuliffe, who had been the governor before and a relatively unknown Republican
4:21
businessman, a newcomer named Greg Yunken.
4:23
Okay, I kind of mentioned that as an aside, like, Hey, this is something to watch for.
4:27
But as of just even a couple of months ago, Terry McAuliffe was more than a double digit
4:31
favorite to become the governor of the state of Virginia again.
4:35
Now, what happened was is Tuesday of this week was that election.
4:41
But in the weeks and in the days and really even the hours leading up to that day, the
4:45
race was tightening.
4:47
And like I said, just a couple of months ago, this race was a foregone conclusion that Greg
4:51
Yunken would go down in a blazing defeat against Terry McAuliffe.
4:55
But the polls were tightening as every story came out about critical race theory.
5:00
And you know, again, shout out to the daily wire, shout out to Christopher Rufo for the
5:04
reporting that they did on critical race theory.
5:07
A lot of the things that were happening were causing these numbers to kind of contract
5:11
a little bit everything that was happening.
5:13
It with national politics, everything with Joe Biden, every gaff, the polls would tighten
5:17
a little bit.
5:18
And even in the days literally the days leading up to the race, there were polls that saw
5:22
it everywhere from a dead heat to a major victory for Republican Greg Yunken, right?
5:28
So and towards the end of the race, Democrats were attempting to do a lot of different things.
5:32
They were trying to paint the opposition is as domestic terrorists.
5:35
They were trying to paint them as racist.
5:37
You had the Lincoln project, which used to be a Republican think tank.
5:40
I believe in now they're just like an anti Trump think tank type of thing.
5:43
They did they did this thing where they tried to pretend like there were these white supremacists
5:46
since that came out to a Greg Yunken rally and they had Tiki torches and all that and
5:51
then they got exposed for that is very, very embarrassing for that organization and rightfully
5:55
so.
5:56
But they were trying to paint these people as extremists.
5:58
They were trying to say critical race theory doesn't even exist.
6:00
You know, all of you are just freaking out.
6:02
And you know, Terry McAuliffe, I guess to his credit, because people get very, you know,
6:06
Bernie Sanders credit for just basically sitting there and saying the same thing since the
6:10
70s.
6:11
Terry McAuliffe didn't back down from his comments.
6:12
You know, even whenever he's talking about in the election where he's like, look, parents
6:15
shouldn't be able to tell what these schools should teach.
6:18
They shouldn't be able to tell what the teachers should be teaching in the classrooms and he
6:22
kept doubling down on that and doubling down on that.
6:24
And then they brought out the big guns.
6:26
They brought out the one of the most popular presidents and modernity president Barack Obama.
6:30
He came out there and said, Hey, you know, these are trumped up culture wars.
6:33
You know, this is ridiculous critical race series and a real thing.
6:36
Don't let, you know, right wing media influence you, then they brought out the co-presidents,
6:40
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, basically to say, this isn't a big deal.
6:43
We're going to have a big sweeping victory in Virginia.
6:45
Don't worry about it, right?
6:47
And the media was all too happy to carry water for the Democrats as well to do the same things.
6:51
They were painting the opposition as as domestic terrorists, painting them as racist.
6:55
You know, Greg Youngkin, you know, oh, maybe he's QAnon.
6:58
Maybe he's this or all these different things.
6:59
That was the attempt and that was the pitch.
7:02
So the pitch by Greg Youngkin, the Republican was that, Hey, I want to make sure that we
7:06
can get this economy thing under control.
7:08
I want to make sure we do things that, you know, have Virginians in mind first and also
7:11
I want to make sure that parents understand that we're going to take care of their kids
7:14
and if they're in the public school system and not indoctrinate them.
7:17
But the closing pitch for Terry McAuliffe was, Hey, you know what?
7:20
If you don't vote for us, you're probably a terrorist.
7:23
You're probably a white supremacist, right?
7:25
So, so that's what was going down and that all culminated this past Tuesday, November,
7:29
the second.
7:30
So just a few days ago.
7:32
And then by now you've obviously heard the results for, for those of you that literally
7:35
have been sleeping under a rock, the gubernatorial race, Glenn Yunken, the Republican beat the
7:39
Democrat and former Virginia governor, Terry McAuliffe by around two and a half points.
7:44
An absolute bloodbath compared to where that campaign was just five, six weeks ago.
7:51
I mean, again, you've heard people say this before, all they had to do was not be crazy.
7:54
All they had to do was not have a gaff.
7:56
But I just got to tell you what Terry McAuliffe said at the debate with Glenn Yunken, where
8:00
he was talking about how parents shouldn't be able to tell schools what to teach their
8:04
kids.
8:05
That might go down as his Howard Dean moment, like that that might literally be his moment
8:10
that ended his political career.
8:12
This is a Clinton night.
8:13
This is a guy that I think used to run the DNC, like these are, this was a powerful democratic
8:17
individual.
8:18
And he went down by a fairly wide margin here, two and a half points.
8:22
But then the poll or the results kept coming in that night.
8:27
And the Virginia voters voted in a Republican, Lieutenant governor and a Republican attorney
8:33
general.
8:34
So the lieutenant governor race, a Republican named, when some Sears, she's a black woman,
8:38
which that shouldn't matter.
8:39
But she's a black woman.
8:40
She beat a Democrat named Hala Ayala by around two points.
8:44
And then a Republican named Jason Mayares beat a Democrat named Mark Herring for attorney
8:49
general by about one and a half points.
8:51
Okay.
8:52
First time since W Bush was in office, that these seats have been held by Republicans.
8:56
Okay.
8:57
And this all happened in a state that Joe Biden carried by 10 points in 2020 by 10 points.
9:06
I mean, it's absolutely astonishing, but then I just got to tell you, so that I wouldn't
9:10
say that that result was expected, but it looked like all the momentum was on the side
9:15
of Greg Youngkin as we, as we kind of led towards the end of that race.
9:18
I thought all of that was, was kind of in that area and in that vein, but right before
9:22
I went to bed, you know, I was flipping around.
9:23
I think I may have been watching baseball or some fights or something like that.
9:26
I flip it over to the news and I just wanted to kind of see what, what they were saying
9:29
and what was going on.
9:30
And they were talking about New Jersey.
9:32
And just to be frank with you, I had no idea that New Jersey would even had an election
9:36
in this off year.
9:37
I had no, I had no clue, but they're talking about the governor's race in New Jersey.
9:43
And at the time I, I clicked over, which was close around 11 o'clock central time, governor
9:48
Phil Murphy, the incumbent was behind a Republican that no one had ever heard of named Jack
9:54
Ciderelli.
9:55
Okay.
9:56
So I think this was a businessman.
9:57
I'm, I'm sure anything about this Ciderelli guys, I'm not going to pretend.
10:01
And at that moment, it looked like the heavily democratic state of New Jersey was going to
10:07
vote in a Republican governor.
10:09
Now about a day went by and, you know, all the results were counted and it came down
10:13
to basically the incumbent, the incumbent Democrat, Phil Murphy, he did end up beating
10:18
Jack Ciderelli, but by a hair, by, by not a very wide margin, especially when you look
10:25
at the fact that New Jersey was a state that Joe Biden won by 16 points in 2020.
10:31
But Phil Murphy has been known for maybe being the most extreme governor in the country when
10:36
it came to COVID policy.
10:37
So you had Republicans lose a race in New Jersey, but it was, it was actually a win
10:42
for them because it was even close to begin with.
10:45
And then there was something that a lot of people weren't really paying much attention
10:47
to the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
10:49
In 2020, obviously everybody knows about the killing of George Floyd.
10:54
Some people call it murder.
10:55
I called a killing of George Floyd by a police officer there.
10:58
And since that time, right, they've defunded the police department and then they decided
11:03
they were going to do this great idea that they were going to hold a vote to amend their
11:07
charter, their city charter in order to replace their police department with something that
11:13
they were going to call the department of public safety.
11:16
So as opposed to having police officers in a police presence, they would have like social
11:20
workers, right?
11:21
So if there's a violent attack of some kind, like a domestic assault of some kind, they're
11:25
not going to send a police officer.
11:26
They're going to send somebody with glasses and a clipboard, maybe even a porta couch that
11:31
they can lay people down on and ask them about their feelings and their childhood.
11:34
I'm being a little bit tongue in cheek there, but it's not that far from the truth in terms
11:38
of what they were trying to do.
11:40
And that proposal went down in flaming defeat that did not pass 56% of the residents voted
11:46
against it.
11:47
You might be thinking that doesn't seem like much.
11:48
It's only, you know, 56%.
11:50
You had to have 51% to pass this and they didn't have anything close to that.
11:55
I am a little bit surprised that that many people actually voted to get rid of their police
11:59
department.
12:00
But again, at the same time, most of the residents have seen what has happened in their city since
12:04
the police presence has been removed.
12:06
So you could count that as another win for kind of conservatism, even though this wasn't
12:10
kind of a Republican Democrat issue in terms of what was happening in the city of Minneapolis.
12:15
But in terms of all the things that we saw on Tuesday night, you have to really look
12:19
at why did those Republican and conservative issues do so well?
12:23
Okay.
12:24
And there's a lot of reasons for this.
12:25
The first and foremost is they messed with our kids.
12:29
And yes, I'm talking about that collectively, even though I myself am not a Virginian, you
12:33
know, I don't live in New Jersey or any of these other places that had those elections
12:36
on Tuesday, they mess with our kids.
12:39
They mess with the education system, right?
12:43
And or parents finally got turned on to what has been happening in the education system.
12:47
Maybe for decades, that's one of the positive things about COVID is parents got to actually
12:52
listen in as their kids were doing zoom school and being able to hear some of the things
12:56
that they were being indoctrinated into.
12:58
Parents started paying attention to the books that were in their schools, which we've talked
13:01
a lot about.
13:02
They started paying attention to the homework that was that was coming home.
13:05
Kids started to ask more questions like, Mommy, I'm white and I'm a, that's bad.
13:10
Why is that bad?
13:11
This is like six or seven year olds that are asking their parents these things, right?
13:14
But when you mess with people's kids, mama and papa bears are going to fight back, right?
13:21
Another reason is that as it turns out, calling parents domestic terrorists don't make them
13:26
want to vote for you.
13:28
They don't want to vote for you if you're just going to call them a terrorist.
13:32
Because again, that in the National School Boards Association, they came out and I told
13:36
you this.
13:37
They came out and they apologize for the letter that they sent to the White House.
13:40
And they did it about a week before this election on Tuesday, but it was too late at that point.
13:45
When you already call someone a name, you can't just say, oopsies, I didn't mean to do that.
13:50
But these parents took that on.
13:51
They're like, okay, I question what you're trying to put in my child's head.
13:56
And that makes me a domestic terrorist.
13:58
You're going to put me on a watch list.
14:00
Okay, watch this.
14:03
Watch what I'm about to do to your boy, to your candidate, right?
14:06
I mean, I guess also turns out calling parents and children racist that are in need of rehabilitation
14:14
don't make the parents want to vote for you either.
14:19
Because again, if you question what the school board was doing, if you were had the temerity
14:23
to say that critical race theory is something that exists, you were branded as a racist
14:28
outright.
14:29
If you're a child in the classroom and you push back against that, you would get in trouble.
14:34
But but again, parents and children who aren't racist, right?
14:39
Because nothing about a person's, you know, immutable characteristics automatically makes
14:43
them a racist.
14:44
Like my level of melanin in my skin doesn't automatically make me a racist, but critical
14:48
race theorists think so.
14:50
But that's one of those things that these, these people that were in power at the time,
14:54
they thought that they could do that.
14:56
That that would somehow be attractive to potential voters, calling them names, right?
15:03
But also another reason why these things did so well across the country is suburban women
15:07
and independents showed up, okay, suburban women and independents in 2020 went hard for
15:12
the Democrats.
15:13
Okay.
15:14
They liked the message.
15:15
They didn't really like Trump.
15:16
Everything was, you know, just creepy old Joe, but they could deal with it.
15:20
But they showed up in big time numbers, especially in Virginia, okay?
15:24
Because again, when you go poking the bear and the bear is mama bear and you're dealing
15:28
with her kids and their safety, the safety of their them physically, but also their brains,
15:32
that's a big deal, a big deal to suburban women.
15:35
But also another reason that things went well is Biden's a dead person.
15:39
And now everyone can finally see it because for the entirety of his campaign, right?
15:45
Because, you know, his, his people were pulling him along and dragging him across the finish
15:48
line and the media was doing everything they could to run interference for him.
15:52
People only focused on Donald Trump, which Donald Trump actually likes that, but they
15:56
only focused on Trump.
15:57
They didn't really pay attention to Biden.
15:59
Way more people, I think voted against Trump than voted for Biden, right?
16:03
I don't have anything to back up that statement, but I just think that that's true.
16:07
But now we've seen we've had 10 months going on 11 months of evidence to show that Biden
16:11
is not a real person.
16:13
He's just a thing.
16:14
He's a thing that gets up in front of the front of the, the podium every now and then
16:18
to say words that someone else has written.
16:20
And then he goes back into his lair.
16:22
He's not a leader.
16:23
He's not leading a government that is there for you and trying to do things for you.
16:27
He's trying to be a generational candidate, a generational president.
16:30
He wants to have his big feather in his cap.
16:32
He doesn't think he's going to be running a second term.
16:34
And now people can finally see that.
16:36
But the real reason and those were all real reasons to begin with the ones that I've already
16:40
cited here, but the other reasons and this is maybe one of the main reasons that Republicans
16:45
and conservative thought did so well on Tuesday is because Democrat policies aren't very popular
16:52
in practice.
16:54
So let me talk about that just in generalized terms.
16:57
When people will propose something like, hey, wouldn't it be better if you could just get
17:01
money for doing nothing?
17:02
And in general, people are like, yeah, that sounds great.
17:05
But then when you dig down and you do a multivariable analysis and you go, wait a minute, that's
17:09
going to cause my taxes to go up.
17:11
So I'm getting money from the government, but my taxes are going up.
17:13
Oh, and it's going to be lead to fewer jobs in a harder economy and higher inflation.
17:18
It's going to be harder to buy milk and meat and bread all at the same time because I've
17:21
got a budget I have to live by.
17:23
And so a lot of people when you just ask them generic questions about what they want in terms
17:26
of policy prescriptions, they'll give you the answer that you want.
17:29
But then if you were to ask them the subsequent questions about how you're going to get to
17:32
that result, they don't like it very much.
17:35
Because the reality is, is that critical race theory sucks, mask mandates suck, vaccination
17:41
mandates suck, inflation sucks, supply chain issues suck, violence in our cities sucks,
17:48
crimes in our neighborhoods suck an open southern border sucks, focusing on climate change and
17:54
not issues we can actually solve today sucks in a president that poops his pants in front
17:59
of the pope sucks.
18:00
These things suck, these people suck, okay, drinking game when I say suck, you got to
18:06
drink, but at the same time with all of these different issues, you can ask someone a question
18:11
that sounds good, that sounds beneficial, that sounds loving until you start digging
18:17
down deeper.
18:18
Oh, don't you want us to have a mask mandate because we don't want you to accidentally
18:22
get somebody sick.
18:23
Oh, shouldn't this vaccine vaccination mandate shouldn't this just happen?
18:27
Because again, if you're going to love your neighbor, I mean, you are a Christian, right?
18:30
If you're going to love your neighbor, doesn't that mean that you would want to take care
18:34
of them by injecting an experimental vaccine into yourself?
18:38
So Tuesday was not just a repudiation of particular candidates that may or may not have ran a
18:44
good campaign or not.
18:46
It was a repudiation on democratic ideology and left wing ideology, which makes me happy
18:52
as a conservative certainly and as a Christian, because most of what these leftists are proposing
18:56
doesn't have any backing or grounding in a biblical worldview.
19:01
Now there's been kind of the predictable reaction and fallout to what happened this week.
19:04
So obviously Republicans are doing a major victory laps right now on Twitter and on Fox
19:10
News and on all these different sites.
19:12
They're really having a good time about it, right?
19:14
I even had some guys text me on Tuesday.
19:16
They were clinking glasses together, you know, at the results of what happened there.
19:19
So that's obviously to be expected, right?
19:21
But in the pendulum of what we're seeing right now in politics, people were clinking their
19:24
glasses together on the blue side last year.
19:27
Here it is on this side this year.
19:28
How long until it goes back blue?
19:30
We'll look at that here in just a second.
19:32
But the interesting thing that I've seen in terms of the reaction to what happened on
19:35
Tuesday is Democrats seem to be doubling down or just pretending like it didn't happen.
19:41
You know, Joe Biden didn't do any media and Jen Psaki didn't do any media the day after
19:46
this on on Wednesday of this week, no media whatsoever, no reaction to it.
19:50
Biden didn't take any, any blame for the things that had happened for the fact that he so
19:54
unbelievably unpopular.
19:56
He even is just very dismissive of the polls like, ah, polls go up, polls go down.
19:59
But I'm here to be your president, not to be the best guy in the polls, you know, whatever
20:03
that means.
20:04
But the Democrats are doubling down on a lot of the idea prescriptions that they put out
20:07
there.
20:08
They're not saying, oh, I don't know.
20:10
Maybe this woke stuff isn't going to work for us.
20:12
Maybe if we keep going down this incredibly leftist extreme road, things are not going
20:18
to turn out well force in the very, very near future that they seem to be, you know, talking
20:22
about all the main talking points about how the only reason there are people lost is because
20:26
of the racist out there.
20:28
And that's what the media is doing as well.
20:29
The media is doubling down on this, especially on the racist narrative.
20:33
And I mean, immediately as we saw and as it became apparent, even though a lot of the
20:36
main news stations weren't calling it for a young can yet when it became apparent that
20:41
a Republican was going to become the governor of Virginia immediately MSNBC CNN dorks on
20:46
Twitter were immediately saying, well, I guess that's what happens when white supremacy is
20:51
part of the race.
20:52
All the while not realizing that the lieutenant governor of that state was a woman of color
20:57
checking to intersectional boxes.
20:59
So apparently the white supremacists just forgot about that.
21:03
Maybe they were checking the box because it had a name in it with an R next to it.
21:07
And they forgot that dang it.
21:08
It was a woman and dang it.
21:10
It was a woman of color, right?
21:12
Because because that's how these people in the media, Democrats think about these voters
21:15
is that, oh, they're just going to vote for somebody based on the letter next to their
21:18
name or on their mutable characteristics that they can't control.
21:21
So the narrative is absolutely bankrupt.
21:23
You know, going into specific examples is not really, you know, beneficial to the time
21:27
that we're going to be spending here together today.
21:29
Because again, it there's no grounding in reality.
21:32
Because again, it was two white men that were going against each other.
21:35
So you're telling me that if I vote for this white man, as opposed to that white man, that
21:39
that makes me a racist, how does that make sense?
21:41
I don't need to defend that statement.
21:43
You do.
21:44
You're the one claiming it.
21:45
Again, what other options could there be?
21:48
Is it possible that in the state of Virginia, there was a white supremacist that really had
21:52
a thing for Glenn Young or for for Greg Yunken?
21:54
I'm here.
21:55
I'm going to do this live because I think I've said that guy's a first name wrong a couple
21:59
of times.
22:00
So we're doing this live, not going to add this out later.
22:02
Glenn Yunken.
22:03
Okay.
22:04
If I said Greg Yunken earlier, guys, you can just maybe that'll be your drinking game as
22:07
well.
22:08
Every time I said the dude's name wrong, you can get on me.
22:09
So Glenn Yunken, Glenn Yunken.
22:11
But maybe there is somebody out there that thinks Glenn Yunken is, is the man.
22:16
And they're a, you know, big time white supremacist, white supremacist.
22:20
They love white supremacy.
22:21
They love the KKK.
22:22
They love Hitler.
22:23
They thought he was the greatest guy ever.
22:24
That's certainly possible.
22:25
But can we pretend for a second that of the hundreds and thousands of votes that went
22:30
for Glenn Yunken that that's not because of white supremacy?
22:34
Again, these people are saying these things as if it's true, no matter what, as if it's
22:39
just, you know, apparently true and they're giving no citations or giving no backing for
22:43
that statement.
22:44
The media is absolutely doubling down on this.
22:46
And you know, it's not really going to work out for them.
22:48
I mean, they can do whatever they want in terms of putting out whatever narrative they
22:51
want.
22:52
But again, this isn't going to work out for them long-term.
22:53
And again, we're going to look at that essentially right now, because what people were talking
22:57
about almost immediately when it became clear that Glenn Yunken, not to be confused with
23:01
Greg Yunken, when Glenn Yunken was going to win, you automatically heard people start
23:06
talking about the red wave, right?
23:09
So you can't really call, you know, off your elections when there's not that many things
23:13
that are in question around, not that many seats in question, a red wave.
23:16
But people are basically looking forward to the midterm elections in 2022.
23:20
Now, in general, as most people know at this point, in general, most that the party that's
23:25
in power, especially in the White House, the opposing party tends to do well in the subsequent
23:30
midterm election, right?
23:32
So there was a presidential election in 2021 by a Democrat.
23:35
You should expect just generically that Republicans would do well in the next midterm coming
23:40
in 2022.
23:41
And the same would be true in the opposite, okay?
23:44
But the red wave right now seems to be a real legitimate possibility, if not incredibly
23:50
likely at this point.
23:52
By this time next year, we could be sitting here talking about the fact that the Republicans
23:57
have flipped the House of Representatives.
23:59
It seems like a foregone conclusion at this point, but also flips the United States Senate.
24:04
Okay, there's, there's about four races.
24:06
I'm trying to remember off the top of my head, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia.
24:10
And there's another state that I can't really remember right now where these seats are really,
24:13
really in trouble for the Democrats there.
24:15
They're really in trouble.
24:17
There's a lot of things that they're going to have to do.
24:18
And again, the lock can happen in the next 12 months, but the House seems like a foregone
24:22
conclusion that they'll lose that.
24:24
And then also it looks like they might lose a Senate, which would basically leave Joe Biden
24:28
in the White House, you know, puttering around not knowing what to do because he basically
24:33
can't get any of his policy prescriptions through or the policy prescriptions of the
24:36
people that are basically pulling the strings, right?
24:39
So at this point, we really need to start discussing what could potentially keep this
24:43
red wave from happening, right?
24:45
And so Democrats probably think at this point, maybe the rapturous, maybe the only thing
24:49
I don't even know if they believe in that, but maybe the rapturous, the only thing that
24:51
could stop that from happening, but let's kind of dig in to some actual reasons.
24:55
One thing that I think could actually stop the red wave from happening is if the Democrats
24:59
don't throw any Hail Mary's when it comes to policy, right?
25:04
Because for people that are on the fence like Kirsten Sinema out of Arizona, the Senator
25:07
from Arizona and Joe Manchin in West Virginia, these people don't really have any reason
25:11
to go along with these extreme policy prescriptions of the Democrats that are currently on the
25:15
table with the infrastructure bill and, you know, bill back better and all these different
25:18
things that are trillions and trillions of dollars that will lead to even more trillions
25:21
in the future, right?
25:23
But there's no reason for them to go forward with those things.
25:26
So if the Democrats kind of chill out on some of those Hail Mary's that they're tempted
25:29
to throw, because look at it this way, if you think you're going to lose the house and
25:33
the Senate next year, you might just try to get while the getting's good while all the
25:37
houses, including the White House is still blue.
25:39
So if they can avoid doing that, that may prevent a red wave.
25:42
But also Democrats just bailing on their positions in general could really help them in 2022.
25:50
So if they back off the rhetoric of critical race theory, if they back off the rhetoric
25:55
of anyone that disagrees with us as a racist, which somehow has gotten worse since Barack
25:58
Obama, a black man has left office, right?
26:01
It started with him really in 2008.
26:03
He kind of started stoking those racial fires and it's just continued to go crazy since
26:07
he's even left office.
26:08
But if they bail out on some of those positions, if they actually pretend to moderate, because
26:13
I don't think they can moderate at this point, if they started ignoring kind of the AOC wing
26:18
of their party, if they start going a different direction, if they start coming more towards
26:21
the middle and appealing to those suburban mothers and those independents that carried
26:25
them in the presidential elections and other elections of 2020, that could be something
26:28
that could prevent this red wave from happening.
26:30
I don't know if it's too big right now for them to stop, but I think that's something
26:33
that they could do is just basically attempt to moderate.
26:36
But also a thing that I think, you know, moving from Democrats to talking about the Republicans,
26:40
one thing that could prevent the red wave is if Republicans refuse to lean into the culture
26:45
wars.
26:46
Because something that a lot of people pointed out is the reason why young can one in Virginia
26:51
is because he leaned into the culture war, the culture war being education and the culture
26:57
war being critical race theory, again, with the daily wire and Christopher Rufo and people
27:00
like that.
27:01
And in this podcast, basically pushing forward those narratives, that was stuff that was
27:05
fought in the realm of culture, not really in the realm of politics.
27:10
The realm of politics was kind of the setting for this, but it wasn't the reason for this
27:14
fight, right?
27:15
Because when Republicans go up there and they talk about, you know, marginal tax rates,
27:19
I think, you know, Ben Shapiro pointed that out, like that's, that's good.
27:22
That's good stuff.
27:23
That could affect people on a daily day, a daily basis, a day to day basis, a suburban
27:27
state, a home mom, isn't really worried about, you know, these minute things inside of, you
27:32
know, tax policy, or something that could affect, you know, a handful of people, you
27:36
know, on Wall Street, you know, that this is not something that's really going to really
27:40
resonate with her.
27:41
What is going to resonate with her is if she's afraid that her children might get assaulted
27:46
in the bathroom at their school because of a new transgender policy or that her chill,
27:50
her female children, who are athletes that they may not be able to get a scholarship because
27:54
that school district is going to allow biological boys to compete in those same sports, thus
28:01
removing a spot for their child.
28:03
That stuff that really lands, if they think that their kids are going to come home and
28:06
say, Mommy, is something wrong with you?
28:08
No, honey, what's wrong with you?
28:09
Well, it's because I'm white and the teacher said because I'm white, that I'm privileged
28:13
and I'm bad.
28:15
That stuff lands.
28:16
Depends need to lean into those things because culture matters a lot with people.
28:24
And so I feel like Republicans and conservatives and Matt Walsh just pointed this out, Dan
28:27
Crenshaw's pointed this out, everybody's pointed this out.
28:29
Republicans have kind of refused to get into that because it's like, Oh, we don't do that.
28:32
Like we're above the culture war.
28:34
We're going to let culture be downstream of us and it's like, it's not working out that
28:38
way.
28:39
So Republicans could shoot themselves in the foot if they don't lean into the culture
28:42
war. Another thing that could kind of maybe keep the red away from happening is some sort
28:47
of an incredible unforeseen Republican scandal.
28:50
So I'm just kind of like hedging my bets a little bit here because there could be a
28:53
crazy scandal about the RNC, the Republican National Convention or National Committee.
28:58
And there could be things that come up that make people just like, Oh my gosh, I can't
29:02
possibly vote for a Republican.
29:04
I can't even think I tried to like think creatively of what could possibly happen that could cause
29:09
that to happen and all I could think of are scenarios that would really only stay in one
29:13
person and not the entire party.
29:15
And so I'm not really sure about that.
29:16
But again, I'm just kind of hedging my bets.
29:18
But this last thing that I want to talk about that could prevent the wet, the red wave in
29:22
2020 and in 2024, since we're going to be talking about it, and this is not going to
29:26
make too many people happy.
29:27
But I would say please stick with me is if Donald Trump decides he wants to run for president
29:32
again in 2024, I think that could absolutely stop the red wave in its tracks.
29:38
Okay?
29:39
Because here's the reality.
29:40
So hear me out.
29:41
I already can hear somebody.
29:42
I'll get angry through through the airwaves here.
29:44
If Democrats don't have Trump, people generally won't go along with their policy agendas,
29:50
right?
29:51
But again, in 2020, I talked to so many people that just couldn't vote for Trump.
29:57
They said they couldn't have a vote for Trump on their resume.
30:01
That was their reason to vote for Joe Biden, like the ballot literally could have said Donald
30:06
Trump and not Donald Trump, because that's what they were doing.
30:10
You could have entered any name on the democratic side and they would have checked that box because
30:14
Donald Trump was so unbelievably reprehensible to them and that he's reprehensible in some
30:19
of his personal morality.
30:20
But then all these, the media created narratives about him being a racist and about him disrespecting
30:25
our military and a lot of these things that they didn't have any grounding or backing
30:28
for the media just or the people, the general public took those things, hook line and sinker.
30:33
And here's the thing is he is, he has his own gravitational force.
30:38
Okay.
30:39
He tried to insert himself into the race in Virginia and Yunken basically kind of waved
30:43
that direction, but then ran his own, his own race and it worked for him because the media
30:50
tried to tie Donald Trump to Yunken and all these different things, but there wasn't really
30:53
a tie.
30:54
There wasn't really a tie to that.
30:55
Yunken stayed true to the message.
30:56
He was talking about the economy.
30:57
He's talking about education.
30:59
He was talking about those things that mattered to Virginia voters.
31:01
And when you look at the exit polling, not to get too nerdy here, there were a lot of
31:05
people in the exit polling that still had incredibly negative thoughts about Donald
31:09
Trump, but voted for Yunken.
31:12
People that voted for Joe Biden last year, that voted for Yunken, a Republican this year.
31:18
Donald Trump is still very, very unpopular with the general public, right?
31:23
And some people think, Oh, well, he's been off Twitter for a year now and people are
31:26
going to be, they are going to be used to him and look at Joe Biden.
31:29
People are have buyers remorse and they want to go with Donald Trump over Joe Biden and
31:32
all that.
31:33
It's like they want to go with Republicans, potentially over another four years of Joe
31:37
Biden in the White House, but maybe not Donald Trump.
31:40
As I said from the beginning, I would prefer if Donald Trump would basically say, Hey, I
31:44
had my role as president.
31:45
I want to do what I can to continue to build and improve the country from here and maybe
31:49
throw his weight behind a governor DeSantis or a Nikki Haley or, you know, Marco Rubio
31:56
or somebody.
31:57
That you really, really like and that that could potentially be a good thing because you
32:00
have to keep the MAGA Trump people happy because that is the Republican base.
32:05
Republicans have to have every part of their party vote in order for them to win a national
32:09
election because that's how the electoral college breaks down for Republicans.
32:12
They're not going to win the popular vote, but they have to have everybody vote in order
32:15
for them to win the electoral college, but a candidate like Donald Trump, which he's made
32:20
indications that he likely wants to run again in 2024.
32:23
I think if that happens, that will cause people to have a little bit of pause next year in
32:27
the midterms, be like, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, Donald Trump's going
32:30
to run.
32:31
And what if he wins in 2024?
32:33
I don't want to, if he takes over the White House to also give him the house in the Senate.
32:38
And again, the reason why Virginia flipped and all those main races, governor, lieutenant
32:44
governor and attorney general is because Donald Trump was not on the ballot.
32:50
That's why those races flipped.
32:51
Donald Trump was not the issue.
32:53
They focus on the issues and again, demographically speaking, they won state or they won suburban
32:59
mothers and they won independence.
33:02
And those two groups of people painting with a broad brush do not like Donald Trump or his
33:07
policies.
33:08
And again, since the, the ending of the September or the sorry, the January 6th stuff and whether
33:13
you believe that that was like the worst thing that that's ever happened in the history of
33:15
politics and the worst thing that's ever happened in the history of our country or if it was
33:19
an inside job or if it was false flag operation, regardless of that, he's branded with that
33:23
for life.
33:24
Again, I don't think he called for that violence.
33:26
I've said that on the show repeatedly.
33:28
I don't think he called for that outcome by any stretch of the imagination, but that
33:31
doesn't matter.
33:32
The narrative matters and the media and the Democrats are in control of that narrative.
33:37
Again, I voted for Donald Trump in 2020.
33:39
I've talked about that.
33:40
I did an entire podcast episode last year on the reasons why you should vote for Donald
33:44
Trump.
33:45
And I also did a really thorough investigation as to the reasons why you should vote for Joe
33:48
Biden.
33:49
You should check that out, it was posted around the end of October of 2020.
33:53
But again, guys, I think if you want Republicans to be back in power, you have to be very,
33:58
very wary of the fact that Donald Trump is kind of lurking because again, if he runs
34:02
again, if Republicans like DeSantis and Haley and all that, they're going to get muddled
34:08
on them because that's what Donald Trump does.
34:10
They're not just going to get out of the guy's way and just let him have the Republican
34:13
ticket, but it's going to become a bloodbath and you don't want a situation like what happened
34:17
to Hillary Clinton when they they [inaudible] off the Bernie Sanders people so bad that most
34:21
of the Bernie people just sat home, assuming that Hillary Clinton was going to win anyway.
34:25
And then Trump ended up getting elected.
34:26
You don't want Donald Trump to suck all of the energy out of the room.
34:30
Another Republican to somehow make it and win the Republican ticket and all the MAGA
34:34
people stay home.
34:36
Republicans simply cannot afford it.
34:38
But again, as I started this episode, I talked about Ephesians 5 11, take no part in unfruitful
34:42
works of darkness, but instead expose them kind of taking it off the Trump thing and kind
34:47
of getting back to the overall point of what happened here is the them exposing the darkness
34:53
of what was happening in certain pockets of Virginia really led to this outcome.
34:57
Okay, a lot of parents, a lot of Christians were in the fight in Virginia and it flipped
35:03
that state to something that's more like a biblical worldview.
35:07
Again, don't see this as some sort of like American Republican Christian zealot type
35:12
of a statement, but you can't look at the Democratic ticket.
35:16
You can't look at the Democratic standards, the things that they believe in and looked
35:20
and think to yourself that this agrees with a biblical worldview.
35:24
This agrees with the Amago day and this goes way beyond the abortion issue, but certainly
35:28
includes the abortion issue.
35:30
The Republican Party in the United States has a closer platform than to the Bible than
35:35
what you would get from a Democratic platform.
35:38
I think that is unbelievably clear and that's not a conservative reading of Scripture.
35:42
That's just a reading of Scripture with my brain turned on.
35:45
Okay.
35:46
But now guys, as I've promised, we're going to do the quick resilience boost.
35:49
Now, please stick around with me.
35:51
I'm not going to do this like normal, but add on daunted life.
35:54
Our mission is equipping men to push back darkness with content that for just spiritual
35:57
mental and physical resilience.
35:59
Typically, I just leave the links here, but I'm going to read to you a part of this story
36:03
because it is just crazy again.
36:05
I thought about doing it as its own standalone show, but I'm just going to do it here as
36:08
a kind of a treat for those of you that stuck stuck around.
36:11
So this is from the blaze media.
36:12
Here's the headline.
36:14
Please say father hunted down and brutally killed man who allegedly sold his daughter
36:19
into sex slavery.
36:21
Social media users are calling him a hero.
36:24
So I'm just going to go ahead and read the first few paragraphs of the story and then
36:26
we'll flow on a little bit.
36:27
So here's from the story.
36:29
Commenters on social media are calling a Washington state father a hero in response to reports
36:34
that he allegedly rescued his daughter from sex traffickers and later killed the man he
36:38
believed responsible for selling his daughter into sex slavery.
36:42
So what happened?
36:43
In a press release issued on Monday, the Spokane police department said that it had discovered
36:47
the remains of a 19 year old male whom they believed to be the former boyfriend of the
36:52
60 year old, John Eisenman's daughter stuffed in the trunk of an abandoned vehicle.
36:57
Describing the incident as a complex case, police reported that Eisenman had set off to
37:02
avenge his daughter after learning that she had been sold into a Seattle area prostitution
37:06
ring in October of 2020 by her then boyfriend, the deceased, the 19 year old male was identified
37:12
by K XL Y TV as Andrew Sorensen, Eisenman has no prior violent criminal history, has been
37:19
charged with first degree murder and is being held on $1 million bail.
37:23
According to police, the father rescued his daughter from the ring from the prostitution
37:27
ring in October of 2020 before later obtaining information indicating that Sorensen was the
37:32
one who sold her to the traffickers armed with that information sometime in November
37:37
of 2020 police say Eisenman confronted Sorensen after learning that he would be at a certain
37:42
location, tying him up and placing him in the trunk of his vehicle.
37:46
He subsequently hit Sorensen in the head multiple times with a center block and stabbed him
37:50
repeatedly resulting in his death.
37:53
Following the fatal assault, Eisenman allegedly drove the vehicle to a remote area in North
37:57
Spokane County and abandoned the car with the body still inside.
38:01
Roughly a year later, Sorensen's remains were discovered.
38:05
So I've heard very many people talking about this, but I have been sharing this around
38:10
a lot.
38:11
So how I'm going to handle this story, guys, is I'm going to say what I'm supposed to
38:15
say first, and then I'm going to say what I really want to say.
38:21
So from supposed to say to want to say, so what I'm supposed to say is this.
38:27
Is that young man that was killed was worthy of going through the judicial system of justice.
38:35
He should have been handed over to the authorities and gone through the system that we have set
38:39
up of law here in the United States as undergirded by the Judeo-Christian ethic that we find in
38:44
the Bible and gone through the justice department and justice system that way.
38:48
And we would assume and we shouldn't have to cross our fingers that justice would have
38:52
came to him if he had had his fair trial and all the facts came out.
38:56
That's what should have happened, okay?
38:59
What also may be true in the situation is this young man could have been innocent.
39:03
If he was not, hopefully he would have been found guilty.
39:06
If he was guilty, what he would have done was a destruction of the Amago de selling somebody
39:12
that trusted him, a young lady into sex slavery, which is pushed on by horny men and sinful
39:18
men and men that look at porn and eventually go on into these masturbation or filled, you
39:24
know, tirades where they end up using women and all these different things.
39:27
It's, you know, it's that whole entire thing.
39:29
That's the reality.
39:30
And also we should take seriously and heed the call from God that vengeance is his.
39:36
This is not for us to take.
39:38
It was not that father's life to take in that moment because he hunted this man down.
39:44
He didn't find him in the act of doing this.
39:47
He wasn't in the process of being assaulted himself.
39:50
He hunted this man down and from, from all evidence that we've seen up to this point,
39:55
and I'm open to change my mind in light of new evidence, but all the evidence we've seen
39:57
out to this point is that this father committed first degree murder on this young man.
40:03
And that's unfortunate.
40:06
So that's what I'm supposed to say.
40:08
Now let's get into the, what I want to say part and the, what I want to say part is,
40:13
is I want this father to get time served.
40:17
I want him to go through, be declared guilty and then be sentenced to time served.
40:25
I also would like in the city of Spokane for them to have a day dedicated to this
40:31
father every single year and point to him as a reminder of if you do something like this
40:36
in our city, someone's going to get you and it might just happen to be Liam Neeson's brother, right?
40:41
I would be hard pressed to sit here and tell you in light of all the things I've talked about
40:47
scripturally and otherwise that I wouldn't want to do the same exact thing that this father did.
40:53
If someone tried to do this to sweet baby James, if they tried to do this to my spouse or if they
40:59
tried to do this to our other son that we are hoping to welcome in March of next year, that I
41:04
wouldn't want to do exactly what this father did. All the while knowing what I was doing was sinful
41:10
and destroying the Amago day and somebody else, the image of God and somebody else.
41:13
But my goodness, this story got me jacked up, like fired up that this father went out and did that.
41:21
Again, I can't say that what he did was right. I can't say that I cosigned it,
41:26
but I understand the feeling. I absolutely understand the feeling. And for those of you
41:30
that don't have children yet, that's one of the things that will change inside of you
41:35
is your propensity for violence. Even if you're not a violent guy, you're not a fighter, you'd
41:39
never been in a fight, you've never shed another man's blood, any of those types of things.
41:41
When you have a child and you start to think about what could happen to you and inside of you,
41:48
if someone were to hurt that child, to do anything to even harm a hair on their head,
41:53
it goes back to some of the stuff we were talking about earlier in the podcast with mothers and
41:56
fathers being just very protective of their children's sexual purity, but also their purity of what's
42:02
going on in their brains. The moment you sense that that's something that might happen to your child,
42:08
you start running through different scenarios in your brain and what you would do, right?
42:13
I've seen those stories about guys that have actually walked in on their children being sexually
42:19
assaulted and literally beating these people to death and then getting off with nothing
42:24
because they were defending their children. And for whatever reason, those stories really,
42:28
really appeal to me in some way, not to say that I hope I'm in that situation someday.
42:34
But man, if I'm ever in that situation, I feel really, really bad for the person that did the
42:39
bad thing. Okay, again, I don't cosign what this father did. I'm not telling any of you out there
42:45
that if your children have been wronged or if your spouse has been wronged in some way,
42:49
that it's up to you to go out there and go crazy. I think the most beneficial thing to do is do
42:54
what like work done did. He's a guy that used to be an NFL all star running back and all pro running
42:59
back and, you know, for the for the Buccaneers, his mother was murdered and he went to the prison
43:04
where his mother's murderer was and he forgave that man thinking about Dylan roof whenever he
43:09
went into that black church and killed all those black church members because they were black
43:15
and within 24 hours, all the family members of the murdered and slain people went in and
43:20
forgave this boy and desperately pleaded with him to accept the gospel. That's what I would hope
43:26
would be going through my head, but I'm not quite certain. So I've left that link for you guys in
