Radio Lux Lucet 128

You're listening to Radio Looks List and I'm your host Steve Matthews. Thanks for joining me for episode 128.

The title of this episode is Trump's big win and what lessons can we take from it?

So yeah, this has been an exciting week here this past week. It's been a really good week. I'd even say this

It's actually been a real blessing this past week. Some of the events that happened, you know, so sometimes yeah I'm I'm always just this glass half -empty guy or yeah glass half -empty guy

Um And by nature, I tend to be pretty pessimistic and it's not a good thing.

It's something I really need to repent of But I'm working on it. I'm working on it. But you know, sometimes it can be easy to be overcome by No by negativity and and you think sometimes things are gonna be just everything's gonna be horrible and terrible and you find out you know it

Isn't as bad nearly as bad as what it could have been and I think certainly this last week I think was actually something very positive for America and for Liberty in the

United States and and not just here in the United States, but I think Really I think throughout the world

I think this is gonna have some big repercussions and I think they're gonna be positive repercussions And I think this is something as Christians we can be happy about And we're gonna talk about that here in a little bit.

I hope everybody has had a good week Boy, you know I was

I was out working earlier today. I was just getting some of the final fall cleanup around the yard done.

You know our Big maple tree in the backyard and I think the thing dumped almost all of its leaves here this week

It actually been holding up pretty well but this week it decided it was gonna shed about 90 % of its leaves and I made a big mess and I had to go back and get that cleaned up and yeah do a few other things around the yard and I wasn't able to get started on my

Preps for the show here as soon as I wanted to that and the other thing I had a stubborn camera that was on a

Conference conference call earlier today and I don't know if that's what did

I was using a new a new application I hadn't used before please call that clout hub is the name of it it's kind of like zoom, but it's their their big selling point is is data security and So I Had that meeting and got off of that and I went to set up my stream here for tonight and my camera decided not to Work, I was like, well, why didn't the camera not working?

I checked the connection and everything looks good I went in the settings on my computer and it was working fine there but for whatever reason it would not pull in to to my

My streaming service. I've got to use a an outfit called restream never had that problem before But anyway,

I fiddled around think took me about half an hour and finally got it working again, you know I mean computers are sort of this.

I don't know. They're they're kind of like this necessary evil, you know, it's like sometimes When they work you can do great things and then for some weird reason they decide

I don't know the third temper tantrum they decide not to work and you don't really know why it's not at all obvious why that is or why that should be the case, but Anyway, I finally got it up and running.

So here I am even though it's a bit later than what I wanted it And you know probably in some weeks,

I probably just to gone to bed honestly, but you know, this has been I think such a compelling story with with Trump's win and and Yeah, I just I really wanted to talk about it that and I also had a friend of mine

Jim sent me a really good article one of the best things I've read in a while on the bits of political analysis

And what we're gonna do what I thought tonight tonight's show I do is just just walk through this this piece

I'm not gonna read every sentence of it But we'll touch on the main points of it and and I'd like to offer some some additional commentary on it

I'm gonna go ahead and put the article in the show notes But let's let's take a look at this here.

So Here we go, well, you know what that's not exactly what

I want let's get out of that I'm gonna stop that showing Stop that Here yeah, here we go.

This is more like it Let's see how this does

Yeah, there we go. There we go. I like that you know, I was I was

I was doing some editing that actually of my my live stream on that I did on the election night on Tuesday and Well, I owned a whole lot in that live stream and it's just like this drives me nuts and it's like it's funny when you

You are doing a live stream. You're not necessarily aware of that But boy when I was I was editing the audio

I was like, um, um, um, and I had to keep going in and snipping these things out and I should know better than that right because I I Used to be in Toastmasters, you know

One of the things if you if you ever in Toastmasters, Toastmasters is where they teach you to speak in public And it's actually a really good program.

You know, there's there's that old saying that you know, the the the I think there's

Supposedly based on some survey. I don't know but they say that the the greatest fear that people have isn't death

It's actually speaking in public and and I can kind of understand that and and if you're like that or if maybe you don't

You know, maybe you've done some speaking in public and you don't think that you've you necessarily are getting the results you like You're not comfortable.

You don't feel like you know what you're doing Toastmasters is actually a really good program to learn how to get up and speak in public

So if it's something a skill that you want to develop, you know, you can find a club You know, they're they're all over the place and in the

United States and overseas And they've got a very structured program. It'll walk you through How to learn how to speak in public and it can be as I say,

I think it can be very helpful but one of the things the reason I bring that up is because when you when you do that one of the things they

Do they actually have people that count ums? It's part of me at least we did it in my club that I was in I'm not haven't been in it for a while But when

I was in the club there would actually be somebody whose job it was to put it You have a piece of paper to him. They have a little tick and they put a little little mark

And there I did it just did it then it just said I'm right there But they put this little tick tick mark on the page and as part of the meeting wrap -up they would would talk to this person who is sort of the you know, the grammar the grammar person and one of the things they would talk about is how many times people said um in the speeches

Presentations and various goings -on in the club. It's so easy to kind of use those filler words and kind of fall back on them, but It's better off Not to use them if you can help it or at least limit it

I don't know that's a necessary thing wrong with saying um ever, you know It's not as if that's some horrible sin, but if you're always going um, um, um, um, well, you know

That can be a little bit distracting. So anyway, I just noticed that when I was doing my editing I was like, oh good grief

Steve. You're just um, and I'm an all over the place there. Anyway, so enough of that So this article this was actually something sent to me by a friend my friend

Jim so Jim thanks so much for doing that I really appreciate it. I wouldn't have I don't know if I'd have seen this.

Otherwise, it's a Article really well worth spending some time going through which we're gonna do and I'm gonna put this this article

I'm gonna put a link to it in the show notes so you can see it. It's something that's publicly available It's not behind a paywall or anything.

So that's a good thing about it All right, so the title of the article here is election aftermath notes on the grand realignment as we stare down the precipice

Final ruminations, so that sounds a little bit foreboding but it's actually some really I think some things that here that should be encouraging to us as If you're a

Christian if you're somebody who loves Liberty if you love the Constitution you love limited government There's a lot of really good takeaways in here

I'll read through it and we'll just comment on it a bit So I'm reading here quote

I encourage you to read it in particular read it particularly because the prediction set out in the opening of it

Well, let's see. That's not actually the beginning. Let's see here. Here we go Some post -election thoughts are due firstly

I'd like to announce the most recent paywalled article has now been opened up to the public on this occasion.

I Encourage you to read it particularly because the prediction set out in the opening of it has proven accurate thus far

Insofar as Trump winning and causing a tangible realignment and soul -searching on the left So the remaining prognosis may have a special resonance

I like to point point you to a couple of the biggest takeaways from the election result. Here's my biggest of all

The election proved one thing the deep state and hidden hostile powers known as the globalists a quote put doesn't scare quotes

That scheme behind the scenes and secretly run the country are not all powerful They can clearly be defeated when the people are fed up enough.

Okay, so let's stop there for a moment so the author here and in the the name of the

Obviously, this is a pen name of sorts. He goes by simplicious So, I don't know what his actual name is, but that's his pen name so well we'll go with simplicious

So simplicious tells us a couple of things here Yeah, he he first of all acknowledges that there is such a thing as a deep state and there are things as global he doesn't say, you know, that's just a some sort of There I go.

I mean again, I'm gonna try to stop that. He doesn't just say that these are figments of people's imagination or Rumors or conspiracy theories or things like that.

He acknowledges that these are real things, but he also acknowledges They're not all powerful. And that's something

I think that I said that maybe in last week's podcast Or maybe it was in an article that I wrote because I had written a follow -up blog post last

Sunday just with some additional thoughts about the up cut what was at that time the upcoming election and One of the things that you know, we need to keep in mind

Yeah, I kept my mind kept going back to this verse from Isaiah. It's Isaiah 29 and it reads now the

Egyptians are Men and not God and the horses are flesh not spirit and the point that Isaiah was making here is that The you know the the

Egyptians or you could apply this to to any great power whether it's the Babylonians or the

Romans Or the Greeks or you know in modern -day terms, you know any of the

You know the United States or any of the enemies, you know Enemies real or imagined that we might have in the world.

They're men. Not God our political enemies I mean, these are people, you know, the the

Democrats are clearly, you know, the the party of tyranny That's what they are.

I mean there are all these attacks on on the First Amendment You know Kamala Harris is out there attacking the

First Amendment. Tim Wallace is attacking the First Amendment Hillary Clinton's attacking the First Amendment. John Kerry's attacking the

First Amendment They all don't like the idea that you and I can speak freely Especially that you and I can speak freely on the internet that we can post what we want

We can do podcasts so we can do videos this really bothers them in the point The reason it bothers them is because it keeps canceling out their narrative

You know, they can't push out the propaganda the way they want to And sometimes you know, it's you look at these people and you think well

You know, they've got all this money I mean, you know, these are famous people Hillary Clinton John Kerry, you got a you know, those are both both a couple of former presidential nominate nominees with Democrats We've got

Kamala Harris. You've got all these billionaires That you know run the banking system and run the the media that run the social media companies and you think yeah

Well, what do I have? How can we stand up against them how can we stand up against the deep state and the

CIA and the Bilderbergers and the the Roman Catholic Church and and just all of these organizations that are plotting to to take away your liberties to loot you of your your financial resources to put you under their put their boot on your neck forever and How did how can you fight back against them?

I mean, they're so much larger so much wealthier so much more powerful than Any of us are

How can you stand up to these people and it's easy to kind of almost put them in the place of the these omnicompetent omniscient

Almighty, you know kind of almost attribute these godlike powers to them, but they're not God These people are not

God. These deep staters are not God these FBI CIA types these are not they're not

God Hillary Clinton is not God. The Democrat Party isn't God. The Pope of Rome is not

God The US Congress the Catholic bishops aren't God. The Jesuits are not

God. These are powerful organizations. They're evil. They do a lot of bad stuff but they're not

God and They can be defeated. He says, you know, he says they the the author here supplicious

He says they can clearly be defeated when the people are fed up enough Well, yeah that they can be defeated

I've said for a number of years that Donald Trump's victory in 2016 I really do think he stole a march on the establishment.

You know when he first started running he was sort of an object of derision and I think it did talk about this last week, but Thinking about for instance

Jeb Bush when Jeb Bush declared he was gonna run It was like our coronation all the media everybody was

Oh Jeb Bush Oh Jeb Bush Oh Jeb Bush is just awesome Yeah, it was you know, can we hand you the nomination on the silver platter, please?

They were they were almost throwing themselves at his feet And it was just assumed that he was going to win and and that you were going to have

An election would be Hillary Clinton versus Jeb Bush I mean, I'm sure Hillary Clinton would have won and Jeb Bush would have graciously accepted defeat said

Oh, well, you know we did the best we could and and and all this stuff and and then you'd had eight years of Hillary Flying around under broomstick, you know had the monstrous regiment of Hillary Clinton And that would have been awful a little bit horrible for the nation, but that didn't happen

You know Donald Trump, you know, despite the fact of having just massive negative news coverage in 2016

The fact that the entire establishment was against him He still managed to pull off this this amazing victory that not too many people expected

And it looks apparently from what we can tell he defeated the deep state again here in 2024

It's quite a minute quite an amazing thing and it's something that I think should encourage us You know, sometimes we need to learn how to take take the

W take the win I think I mentioned before, you know, I tend to be by nature a bit of a

I Know I guess a pessimist glass half -empty guy that sort of thing. Well, I Think sometimes when we get a win, sometimes there's always people looking around trying to find

Oh, you know, what's you know, what Wednesday? When's the next shoe gonna drop this type of thing? Well, maybe there isn't gonna be another shoe drop

No, I'm not saying everything's gonna be smooth sailing and we've still got all these evil people around that want to do evil stuff

They're not gonna give up. I mean you're gonna have They're going to be difficulties and and we have to understand that on one hand so we have to we have to acknowledge

Yeah, okay. There's going to be struggles and additional difficulties. Maybe things we haven't even thought of yet One of the things some people have talked about for instance is well, you know

The economy is not good and there's a an interview out with a guy that I think does some really good work Ed Dowd And I haven't watched it yet, but I can tell from the title of it

He is of the view, you know that the economy isn't a dumper and the things could get a lot worse and you know

What might happen you we've got? Got Donald Trump in power and you may be some people and in powerful places would like to tank the economy

You know what would they like to you know? Manipulate the the economy to to bring on a bring on a recession and make it worse than what it should be

Maybe you know, I mean I I can't say that that that's that's impossible there's actually precedent for that type of thing in in history if you you read about Andrew Jackson president

Andrew Jackson. I mean, this was almost 200 years ago But he wanted to end the the first Bank of the

United States and the first Bank of the United States it was almost like a it wasn't quite like the

Federal Reserve, but it was almost like a proto Federal Reserve Central Bank and The this guy who was the the head of the bank his name was

Biddle actually intentionally induced a recession while Jackson was president hoping to Turn the public against Jackson Well, it didn't work and Jackson actually won his fight against the the first Bank of the

United States and shut him down Some reason I don't think

I'm saying that quite right Let's take a look here It's the second Bank of the

United States. Okay That's what it was. It was the second Bank of the United States I said the first Bank of the

United States is the second Bank of the United States I got the you know how sometimes you say things and you're like that doesn't sound quite right

Yeah It was the second Bank of the United States that Andrew Jackson fought his pitch battle with and won And this this guy by the name of Biddle actually did induce

Induced a recession and you know caused economic problems with banking policies in order to turn the public against Jackson.

Well, it didn't work and Jackson shut down the the second Bank of the United States so good for Andy Jackson So is it possible that somebody today could do this, you know banking interest powerful people behind the scenes

You know, these these these deep state types. Well, yeah, I mean that's that is possible. I Don't know that will happen but it is a possibility

It's something we at least have to be aware of and I don't say that again to be negative or to say oh, you know

You know the other shoes gonna drop look we can face this stuff by God's grace We have to speak the truth.

We have to to stand on the Word of God And we have to continue to rebuke people who

Speak evil and and who practice evil Any of these people can be defeated and that's that's one of the that's

I guess the big takeaway that Simplicious wants to leave us with here and I agree with them. I think that's absolutely Critical to to understand that as Christians these people can be beaten

They're not they're not You know, they're not omnipotent They're not all powerful

When he continues here, he says in this election cycle They tried virtually everything and none of their previous methods were enough to rig and steal the election for their candidate from alleged cases of electronic vote machine rigging via machine anomalies to ballot harvesting false polls and surveys

Rigged search results on Google and elsewhere to the big one mass illegal Migrant invasion meant to install a permanent

Democrat voting regime in perpetuity none of it worked and Trump still wanted a massive

Republican landslide Republicans won the Senate and as of this writing or way up to winning the house is on the way to winning the house as well

With multiple seats flipped in each the Republican side controlling every branch of government could give

Trump carte blanche power To do a great deal of housecleaning of the housecleaning he promised

And the writer he didn't even mention the two assassination attempts. Yeah, I mean they tried to kill Trump twice

Yeah, I I do think that those were were deep state attempts I think there's a lot of evidence to suggest that and we can't ever really know for sure

Because of course nobody's gonna say but if you look at what went on, you know

In particular the the initial attempt there in Butler, Pennsylvania That was just laughably

Incompetent on the part of of the Secret Service now There's a guy that I used to follow while he's he's deceased now

It's why I don't follow him but follow his work, but he was a financial guy. He was a gold He's particularly known as a this is somebody influential within the the gold community

Name was Jim Sinclair and he had a saying that I heard him use in many occasions

He would say such and such a thing is too stupid to be stupid Well, what did he mean by that well what he meant is that that when you you see something you're just going yeah

How could these people be so stupid as to believe? X Y or Z Well what he was saying is it's not stupidity

They're lying to you and then you have to you know So when you see something that is just outrageously stupid or incompetent really

I think what we should be thinking I think this is a correct way of looking at this. We ought to be asking ourselves. Okay, what's going on here?

You know, well, what's the there's something going on behind the scenes? It's not being stated up front that whether we need to be a be aware of and and when you saw how just how horrible the

The Secret Service was in Butler, Pennsylvania in July. I just cannot believe that that was incompetence

I think that that what you saw going on there was a it was a deliberate attempt to You know to to do some harm to Donald Trump and it didn't work

They failed and they try it again with that that guy down there in Florida And of course the guy down there in Florida The the question about him was well, you know, who's paying this guy's freight?

And it's never it's never it's interesting how that's never come out and now maybe maybe something will come out in the trial

I don't know, but I don't expect very much. I Think we there are some people probably some very powerful

Special interests that are behind all of this and it's probably all gonna get whitewashed in my opinion.

We'll see I'd like to think we would get the truth. But I mean trying to get the truth out of government, you know, that's a

Bit of a challenge to say the least So here's something else that simplicious that talks about I think this is really important here, too he says the other huge elephant in the room exposed by this election is

The now undeniable irrevocable fact the 2020 was in fact stolen now

This is something that I've been talking about for years. And of course many other people have been talking about this for years as well the let's just say the

Anomalies that took place or apparent anomalies don't want to get

YouTube too angry here I'm I'm live -streaming on YouTube. I don't know. Maybe there there's that me here or something, but The Unusual activities that were surrounding the 2020 elections

He's got a graph here and one of the the graph that you see it shows the total Democrat vote count in the last four elections of 2012 2016 2020 and 2024 and the 2012 2016 and 2024 numbers are all very similar

But in 2020 had this huge spike in votes the

The other three elections were like all around 65 66 67 thou 67 million votes for the

Democrat candidate But in 2020 it blew out to over 80 million votes for Joe Biden And in fact, he he quotes here the the

Democrat vote total counts for the last six elections and and even Obama in 2008 who really set a

High watermark for presidential election totals. He got sixty nine and a half million votes

Kamala Harris got sixty six point four million But Joe Biden in 2020 he got eighty one point three million

So he blew Obama out. He blew everybody out of the water. How is that possible? Hmm When simplicious continues here, he says

Obama's first victory was a grand transformative National Awakening Even Republicans must admit that pivotal 2008 campaign was special and Obama brought a new kind of energy influence a cultural shift

Signified by the now famous hope poster which captured a kind of historic zeitgeist

And the numbers reflect this the 2008 vote had a record turnout of sixty nine point five million for Obama Harris's 2024 campaign spent a record -breaking one billion dollars one billion dollars sounds like who's that guy dr.

Evil Yeah, one billion dollars. I think he said 1 million dollars. This is 1 billion dollars and Yet could not even get close to Obama's Religious first election turnout let alone binds miraculous read anonymous

Anomalous, excuse me. Eighty one point three million. So yes, that's we'll use anomalous to describe

Joe Biden's vote total that we won't say anything about how that may have occurred But it is certainly an anomaly a very curious anomaly.

Yeah, we'll just we'll leave it at that And he continues there.

He says there's simply no mathematically possible way that Biden had such an anomalously high record -breaking turnout

Eclipsing both before and after Democratic candidates for the record Steve Bannon is now declared

They will not let the issue slide and will pursue true pursue the truth and all remediations for what was perpetrated in 2020 and Simplicious to ask a very good question.

He says so the other big question How did the establishment lose exactly if they had their foolproof plan of millions of new migrants, etc.

What exactly went wrong for them? Let me provide some pretty good answers here. This is what he says well it appears that Trump's team did in fact prepare the ground for the contingencies a

Member of his team claimed an army of 500 lawyers per state per state

Had descended last night to watch for all irregularities and in fact appeared to even To have even countered several attempts in the vein of 2020.

He provides an example So simplicity's continues for example Not only were statewide irregularities reported mostly smaller ones like playing with vote times

Officials showing up late or machines allegedly going down to mostly red counties, but there was also this in Centre County, Pennsylvania and this is a

Post from X that he cites here. It's a gentleman named John Strand and This post says this

Breaking another legal win Centre County, Pennsylvania Officials were planning to stop county ballots throughout the night in violation of state law the

RNC threatened to sue and that was enough Officials agreed to continue the count as required this time.

We don't fold Hmm. So that was a post that was actually on election night. It was 10 o 4 p .m

I suppose it's probably Eastern Time on November 5th. So that was election night Simplicity's continues

Well likely never know for certain but it did appear that RNC and Trump's team were far better prepared to handle all the tricks and gimmicks the lack of covered protocols

Obviously obviated a lot of the mail -in ballot chicanery from last time But it is still a bit of a mystery why tens of millions of new illegal migrants

Did not massively swing the election the way they had planned In truth, maybe they did swing it far more than we know

But it was simply that Kamala is so unpopular. They couldn't even get her close to the finishing line

Perhaps without an illegal vote. She would have ended up with 30 or 40 million votes rather than 65 million

So that's a bit of speculation here, but that is certainly a possibility Maybe it turns out that there were a ton of illegal illegal votes out there, but it was just too big to rig, right?

I mean that was what one of the things the Trump campaign talked about quite a bit in the months leading up to this election

Too big to rig, you know, they wanted to have a victory That was too big to rig and and this is true

You know, we talked a little bit earlier about the fact that these these deep state types

They're they're men and they're not God. So they're not omnipotent and Since they're not God since they're not omnipotent that means that there's

Some sort of upper limit to how much they can can rig how many?

anomalies they can create so Maybe it's possible that they that this was just too big of a win for Trump.

It just could not be Be be flipped the way that they wanted to it's definitely possible

And the simplicity is actually goes on he says this he says there's some circumstantial evidence to back this up that is the the

The elite dealing with the illegal votes for Kamala but possible illegal votes for Kamala There is some circumstantial evidence to back this up Kamala just happened to win only the states which did not require

IDs According to this chart and if you're watching this on video, I'm going to show this you can see in in the lower chart here, it shows the

United States and There's this as a green or gray my something's my color vision isn't so great

It looks like it may be green here But it shows these states were no ideas required for instance

If you look along the left coast the West Coast, you've got you've got Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada No, these states do not require

Any any type of ID to vote what states did Kamala win Washington, Oregon, California, she did not win,

Nevada and She won

Colorado and New Mexico now, Colorado does require some ID, but it's a non photo

ID And of course they flooded. I know the the mayor of Denver has been flooding

Denver with illegal aliens He calls them newcomers. That's that's his nice little buzzword that I I don't know

He picked that up from the US comes to Catholic bishops, but he yeah, he likes to call him newcomers

But yeah, he's flooding Colorado with all of these illegal aliens. And of course, New Mexico They New Mexico does not require a voter

ID Illinois does not require voter ID Kamala won there, Minnesota does not require any voter

ID. She won, Minnesota and The New England states they don't require for the most part voter

ID she won those but she did not win a state in which

Well, I guess New Hampshire maybe is the exception. So maybe maybe that's true. But Yes, I mean, it's it's amazing how the the map of the states that Kamala Harris won is almost a perfect overlay with the states that Don't require don't require voter

ID. That's an amazing thing That's an amazing thing so yeah that that kind of does suggest that you know

So some anomalies going on there in those states Hmm interesting and Simplices continues here.

He says the 2024 was billed as having a record turnout for an election Both sides knew was more critical and pivotal than ever yet it's total votes cast were dwarfed by an election held during the worst health pandemic of several generations and And Simplicious he lists out the the total votes.

This isn't just votes for an individual camp This is the total votes cast for instance like 2004

He had about 21 million votes cast 2008 yet about 129 million votes cast 2012 126 million 2016 128 million in 2020 had 155 million votes cast and 2024 you had it in 29 million

So all of those, you know what like what they used to say on was that Sesame Street? One of these things is not like the others yeah, one of these things is not like the others the

Thing that's not like the others is 2012 with this really high vote total of 155 million and all of these other vote totals these were all in the 120 million range 120 130 million range.

So 2020 is definitely an outlier. No question about it Then you had this thing here with a bellwether counties

And the bellwether counties there are certain counties that almost always select

The winner of the president whoever wins these counties then goes on to win the election They're they're just certain ones and they list out and I was at about 15 or so counties different states in the nation for instance, you know, there's a

Couple here in Ohio Ottawa County in Wood County, they're considered bellwether counties.

They always pick the presidential winner and Again, this goes he goes back to 1984 and it shows how this really plays out and in 2020

Donald Trump Dominated in the bellwether counties. He only lost one bellwether county fact

Let's count how many bellwether counties are I see one two, three, four five six seven eight nine ten

Eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen seventeen, okay So in 2020

Donald Trump won 2016 Donald Trump swept all 17 bellwether counties in 2012

Obama swept all 17 bellwether counties he won in 2008

Obama swept 16 out of 17 bellwether counties and he won so you can see this pattern that That really does hold true in 2020

Donald Trump won 16 out of 17 bellwether counties Joe Biden won one

But guess who won the election in 2020 and there's nothing suspicious about that And then back to 2024

Trump won 15 of 17 bellwether counties and went on to win the election

Hmm That's another another sign there that maybe there was a few anomalies there in 2020.

I'm just saying YouTube, you know, don't get angry at me That's just this looks a little anomalous some anonymous anomalies, so hey, well, we'll just we'll just kind of leave it at that And Simplicious concludes here.

He says where there's smoke there's fire. Yeah. Yeah There's there's there's a whole lot of smoke there and I think he does a very good job laying out laying out the case

So well done. This is a really good piece I had not read this author before but I'm gonna try to pay a little more closer attention to him

I think he does have some very good work here And he there's a video here of Scott Jennings.

He's somebody he's on CNN not sure if he's a CNN reporter or if he's a

Political operative, I don't know what his role is, but it's about a two -minute video and I Actually watched this a few days ago

It's very interesting He he really actually lays this thing out to the the

CNN people the way the way it is Let me go ahead and play this. Let's see.

Let's see what he has to say here the mandate Has won the national popular vote for the first time since for a

Republican for the first time since 2004 This is a big deal. This isn't backing into the office

This is a mandate to do what you said you were going to do Get the economy working again for regular working -class

Americans fix immigration Try to get crime under control try to reduce the chaos in the world

This this is a mandate from the American people to do that. I think I'm interpreting the results tonight as The revenge of just the regular old working -class

American the anonymous American who has been crushed Insulted condescended to they're not garbage.

They're not Nazis they're just regular people who get up and go to work every day and are trying to make a better life for their kids and they feel like They have been told to just shut up When they have complained about the things that are hurting them in their own lives

I also feel like this election as we sit here and pour over this tonight is Something of an indictment of the political information complex.

I mean we've been sitting around here for the last couple of weeks and The story that was portrayed was not true

And we were told Puerto Rico was gonna change the election Liz Cheney Nikki Haley voters women lying to their husbands before that It was

Tim Walz in the camo hats Night after night after night. We were told all these things and gimmicks.

We're gonna Somehow push Harris over the line And we were just ignoring the fundamentals inflation people feeling like that they were barely able to tread water at best that was the fundamentals of the election and So I think that both parties should always look at the results of an election and figure out what went right and what went wrong

But I think for all of us who cover elections and talk about elections and do this on a day -to -day basis we have to figure out how to understand talk to and listen to the half of the country that rose up tonight and said

We've had enough Wow, that was some strong stuff that was on CNN That's that was some really good commentary.

I thought particularly what he said there about how the

Democrats Insulted all of these people who are Trump voters. I mean, this is one of the things that's been so striking to me in In recent years over the past 10 years or so Really this started with Obama and he made his comment about the fact that he was talking about people in pencil small towns in Pennsylvania who were bitterly clinging to their guns and religion

That was the way he put it and then Hillary came along in 2016 She upped the ante she called them, you know of course famously called called

Trump voters deplorables and irredeemable or irredeemably deplorable or something to that effect and Then of course you have

Joe Biden just a couple weeks before the election he's calling Trump voters garbage and That was on that was after spending most of the last four years insulting

Republicans and Trump voters conservatives what -have -you it calling them? Yeah, just all these just terrible names

You know fascists and racists and Nazis and all of this just awful stuff really insulting types of things

And in doing it repeatedly I mean this is not like it wasn't like a one -off thing for Joe Biden where that was just a slip of the tongue or Something he's been doing this since day one.

He took office he had this this stuff was embedded in his his inaugural speech in January of 2021 and he hasn't taken his foot off the gas since then and this stuff has got to stop

I mean, you can't just go around say everybody who disagrees with me as a Nazi But I mean that's essentially the line of argumentation that the

Democrats use and I think Scott Jennings did a really good job of Calling that out pointing that out

You know, they spend all this time Mocking you and and insulting you and telling you to shut up and calling you all these horrible names and but vote for us

You know pro tip for you guys for the Democrats out there if any Democrats listen this don't do that It's a really bad idea to go and insult half the country at least half the country or more than half the country

Really bad idea and not as not a good look. That's not a good way to win elections You might want to think about that just saying and simplicity has continued

So he says he makes a good point Trump won the popular vote last night. Not just the Electoral College This was a huge slap in the face of the establishment organ predictions like that of the

Council on Foreign Relations in the very day of the vote and Here's this is the Council on Foreign Relations if you don't know about the

Council on Foreign Relations the the CFR They're one of these big globalist outfits and all these muckety mucks

Work there and there's a lot of funding big money involved in this thing, but they put this post out

I guess this is on X and Here's how the post reads from the from the Council on Foreign Relations Quote even if Trump wins the count in the

Electoral College He is still likely to lose the popular vote And so the more fundamental charge lobbed against him will be that he does not represent the general will of the people

That looks like it's a company here. I guess maybe that's an excerpt from an article called America's era of violent populism

So yeah They want to tell you how violent how horrible and terrible you are if you don't want to be ruled by people who are trying to overthrow the

Constitution Not Kamala Harris and Tim Walz wanted to do if you don't want to do that.

You're a bad person You just might be a fascist It's kind of like that was that Jeff Foxworthy.

He used to have that that routine You know, he'd say something like you just might be a redneck. Well in this case

Yeah, if you don't agree with Kamala Harris, you don't think overthrowing the First Amendment's awesome.

Well, you just might be a fascist That was their message. I mean, it's just it's ridiculous and it's unbelievable how they think that this is

Somehow I don't know that that is this is actually a workable strategy and people are just fed up with it

I've been fed up with it for years. I'm glad to see the more my fellow Americans are saying enough of this It just needs to stop

And simplicity continues. He says know how they preheated the oven to roast Trump on the very charge that he's now

Meteorically acquitted himself on it's talking about, you know, this Council on Foreign Relations article

Well, he's gonna he might win the Electoral College He's gonna lose the popular vote. No, no, he didn't do that either So, I mean they they preheated the oven in the words of simplicity

Yeah, they're trying to plant this seed this idea in people's mind he says similarly even Brian Stelter at CNN was striking a self -reflective penitent note and Brian Stelter's he was one of the never

Trumpers over there at CNN during Trump's first term in office He actually got canceled because his ratings were so bad

If you ever watch Mark Dice Mark Dice used to make terrible He used to just mock this guy endlessly and he deserves to be mocked by the way

There's probably not too many people in the media that were more deserving of being mocked than Brian Stelter but here's a piece that Stelter wrote

Trump's return to power raises serious questions about the media's credibility and Simplicity is quotes from Stelter's piece

Quote a quote in a recent New York magazine column channeled that question The quote from an anonymous

TV executive was recirculated on social media Wednesday morning If half the country has decided that Trump is qualified to be president that means they're not reading any of this media and we've lost this audience completely the executive said a

Trump victory means mainstream media is dead in its current form. And the question is what does it look like after in?

Quote so yeah, that's that's actually some pretty good stuff in it. There are some people in the media there

Yeah, maybe they're not gonna say Trump's a great guy. Maybe we don't agree with him. But you know, maybe we need to Look at the way we are our packaging things.

Maybe look at the way we're talking about people So either there does seem to be some reflection there

Let's see He continues simplicious does everywhere you turn today mainstream pundits are agonizing their way through this painful inner search

Searching asking where did we go wrong? Well, I could say spending years and years and years insulting huge swaths of the population

Yeah, that's that that might be a good place to start He talks about Chuck Todd Chuck Todd, for instance grudgingly admits how

Trump treated Hispanics like normal working -class people Talking Hispanics like normal people who knew whereas Democrat turned them into identity tokens with flat insulting messaging using bastardizations like Latin X See, you don't want to say

Latino because I guess that's I don't know sexist or something like that. So they called him a Latin X It's just a ridiculous locution.

It's just laughable and I can't imagine Anyone with any self -respect would call himself

Latin X That's one of those that's one of those words like BIPOC you ever hear that that word by pocket stand

Let's see. It's it's one of the it's an acronym. It stands for black indigenous persons of color

BIPOC and and there was a guy he placed I used to work He used to like to suck up to all the

D IE nonsense that was going on at the company Yeah, I I remember he had some post or something out on on Facebook and he was he was using

BIPOC in a sentence now The only time somebody uses the word BIPOC in a sentence is when they want a virtue signal

I mean, it's almost it was sad and it's kind of laughable at the same time and in Latin X strikes me as Was it

Latin X? I I don't know if it's Latin X or Latin X. I don't know both in both either case however, you say it it's a ridiculous term and it should be banished to the

The outer darkness as far as I'm concerned, it's really pathetic stuff

Bastardizations like let Latin X that don't actually resonate with the majority of them Yeah, I can't imagine these all these these

Hispanics thinking. Oh, yeah, let's go call ourselves Latin X or Latin X good grief And let's see.

Here's another one. He says even MSNBC's morning Joe Scarborough unleashed on identity politics rightfully declaring that something has gone wrong in the country his friends college -age children report being terrified even raised their hands in school because of the

Lack of freedom of thought has gotten so bad Wow, you know, I I can't even imagine that I mean when

I went went to school at the college This was back in the 80s Yeah, I mean it was filled with liberals and stuff like this, but you didn't have these kind of real

You know there when I was in school you had you started to get a little bit of that They start talking using the term political correctness.

We don't usually talk political correctness doesn't seem to be So much that term isn't so much in vogue now.

It was maybe kind of like an earlier form of woke ism They will call it that you know woke is the more popular term now, but in the 80s and 90s

Yeah, you started to get some of this this political correctness, which was very silly

But it wasn't anywhere near at the pitch at the level that what it has been over the last few years

And I feel bad for young people that they have to try to negotiate these these verbal landmines.

I can't imagine Having to deal with that So I mean you're afraid to even raise their hands in school because the lack of freedom of thought's gotten so bad

And this is coming from a guy who's works at CNB at MSNBC Which is

I think the most far left of all of the cable news channels over and over the self You know, this is a simplicious right again

He says over and over the self -reflection soul -searching was evident in every major establishment outlet New York Times front page heralded a national turning point evoking a quote

Populist revolt against the elites vision of the u .s. End quote. Yeah. Yeah, that's that's

I think pretty much spot -on there He continues suddenly all the establishment organs are becoming self -aware and openly admitting the vast

Disconnect the elite class is allowed to fester between themselves and the commoners the most illustrative example of this was the

DC tally which showed just how detached the beltway cast is from national sentiment and it shows the the vote totals in the

District of Columbia Kamala Harris got ninety two point five nine percent of the vote Donald Trump got six point five seven percent

So, yeah, and then he shows the electoral map of the United States and it's overwhelmingly read

But that that District of Columbia is overwhelmingly Democrat other major pundits may know with Matt Tabees headline being a prime example giant electoral asteroid strikes

America's intellectual class which fails to notice That's that's pretty funny and it's true to that I think that's that's spot -on a

Matt Tabee He's a he's a very talented writer and that's a good headline. And I think he's he's spot -on with that as well

Let's see. So And there's some some comical stuff some of this is from the

French press Apparently this this political commentator in a French newspaper He calls he says that the

Trumpist project is revenge of the American South projected on a planetary scale Well, that's really interesting because of course

Donald Trump's not from the South. He's some New York City He's a New Yorker and it's it's just you know, people are tired of having their economy destroyed they're tired of being censored they're tired of The the attacks on their

Liberty whether it's it's civil liberties whether it's their freedom of speech whether it's their economic liberties

They don't like that. People don't like having their their country flooded with an illegal alien horde

It's like almost like a like a swarm of locusts Devouring their land in their presence if you want to use put it as Isaiah as Isaiah did

Isaiah chapter 1 he says your land strangers devouring your presence Well strangers been devouring the

United States in our presence for the entirety of the the Biden regime And of course, he's just working for his boss over there in the

Vatican Joe Biden I mean that that's that that's what's been going on If you don't know about that all of this this flood of illegal aliens coming to the

United States Or even if they're legal in some very nominal way, it really doesn't matter the socialist immigration policy is the

Biden regime this is the practice of the Vatican's theory on on immigration, it's it's the

Vatican's socialist globalist theory of Of immigration

I mean, it's antichrist attempt to to overthrow the United States. That's what this is.

Yeah. No, I don't know Let's see. What else we got here. Oh, here's here's a lovely picture. This is from the New Yorker This is what the

New Yorker thinks of normal Americans the Americans prepping for a second Civil War, you know, it shows kind of a shattery figure here

Standing on I guess kind of a log cabin so I guess he's this homesteader and and he's got what looks like a

I guess probably an ar -15 there and He's an all he's a scary menacing kind of a fellow

And this is the this is the kind of this is the way the New Yorker wants to prevent norm What to present normal Americans to its readers and it's just this is just nonsense.

Let's see. What else we got here Oh, this is an interesting thing This is an article from Politico and it's talking about says

Schultz set stage for German snap elections as government collapses So yeah, the the government of Germany collapsed

The and Read a little bit about what to see what simplicious has to say is here Tell us here

He says an example of the indirect effect mentioned earlier major changes already be falling the world just owing to Trump's victory

Victory sheer inertia for instance mere hours after Trump's victory the German government began to collapse under Schultz Politico asserts that it was no mere coincidence

Trump's victory left German elite badly shaken as to the repercussions Trump's policies could have and they're already ravaged

German industries so yeah, the the German elite are panicking and this is interesting too, of course is that the the government of Germany Just like the governments throughout the

West has spent a great deal of time and energy trying to destroy the German people

You know The government of Germany hates the Germans just like the government of France hates the French or just like the

Biden regime hates the people the United States or Justin Castro hates the Canadians that he supposedly

Governs I call him gut Justin Castro because if you haven't heard the rumor There's there's some rumors out there and I would say not entirely without merit in fact,

I think they do have some merit that he actually may be Fidel Castro's son

Now I'm gonna get too far into that right now But there are some people who think he is and even if he isn't he certainly his his policies are very communistic

So it's it's probably not bad to call him Justin Castro regardless and let's see what else we have here yeah,

I think that's that's there's there's more in this article and I would encourage you to read this through on your own and And digest it is just some really good stuff and go back and reread it because there's there's a lot of information in there

But it's very well written and and I think that you'll find it It's very informative certainly one of the best things that I've read on on politics in a while So I think we'll probably bring things to an end there

But anyway, I I just wanted to say, you know, once again in closing, I'm so thankful for for the events over this past week

You know I go to a couple Bible studies and I know That the guys in the Bible studies that that I went to this last week

They were very encouraged by this and they really did see this as a gift of God and and I agree with them and again

It's not because They think or that I think that that Donald Trump is perfect that he's without flaws that that everything's been solved

And you know, we can all go back to you know Kind of go back to sleep or something like that in fact I think what you and I do is we need to view this as a gift of God and I think we need to really focus on on each one of us individually

Finding ways to get better to to learn more to become more faithful to to study the

Word of God more to be aware of what's going on and learn how to apply the Word of God to the

Individuals and the situations that we face to pray for discernment in Matters that deal with with politics and economics and in policy and things of this sort

You know, there's there's so much there's so much evil out there But you know, it's kind of like this, you know, the hymn says to it's it is my father's world and we you know

We as Christians we have to remember that And at some point the Lord Jesus Christ is going to return and and he will reign

You know the kingdom of this world will become the kingdom of the Lord and of his Christ We know that and and so we have reason to be optimistic, but we also know, you know in this life.

We're going to have tribulation And the you know, these these forces of darkness that want to impose

Tyria's they're not just gonna go away they're still going to be here and We just have to be ready for them.

We have like I say we have to learn learn discernment We have to learn, you know, what does the

Bible have to say about politics? What does the Bible have to say about economics? And a whole host of other things

So, I mean, this is something I think we really need to To go to the Lord and pray for I say pray for discernment pray for wisdom pray for knowledge

You know the with knowledge and wisdom aren't the same thing You know knowledge is is is knowing the the truth of Scripture wisdom is the ability to to apply those in an effective way

We need both of those So anyway, I don't leave you with some encouragement and you know again, you know

These these guys that we're dealing with they're not God and you and I if if you are saved in Christ Jesus You have the right man on your side.

So be encouraged That's all for this week until we talk again next time may the spirit of truth guide you in all truth
