Ep. 527: Donald J. Trump is now the 47th President of the U.S.A

as the world gives. Do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. I want to focus on the very beginning of that verse. Peace. I leave with you my peace I give you. This is Jesus, Son of God, but God, all God, as well as man. He was the mediator. He had to come to pay the price for our sins. But I want to focus on that piece. You know, last night I went to bed at seven thirty. I think I remember my wife telling me the results of the amendments.

But and look, this show's all about this. We're going to talk all about the election, the results, the amendments, everything. I went to bed in total peace because the peace

that Jesus offers us is his peace. So I want you to just unpack that though, don't don't, don't just okay, that sounds nice, whatever, No, no, no, no. The peace that Jesus offers is the peace that comes from one who sits on the throne, one who is the Alpha and the Omega, one who knows the end before the beginning, the one who knows everything that's going to happen and

when it's going to happen. When Jesus offers peace to you and me, his peace, he's offering us peace that comes from the perspective of the Son of God, God in the flesh, the one who was with God when heavens and earth were made. Whoa that That is an offer that I chose to accept long time ago. But only as I've matured and aged have I learned to live in dwell in, abide in sleep in. I got

up real early this morning. I was here early because I knew I got you know, I was not going to be able to do the news and prepare the show yesterday, because it was all going to be about what happened last night. I just threw my hands up and said, I'm going to bed, and I went to bed, and I got up early, and I wandered on in here, and I knew some things because my texts double figures text waiting for me when I woke up. But I had peace. No matter what the outcome would be his peace.

And it's offered to you ten past the hour. Inside the American Patriots Almanac, we go on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. And inside the American Patriots Almanac, we go on November sixth, eighteen sixty nine, and a cold, windy day in Lambeau. No, it's not Lambeoufield. New Brunswick, New Jersey. Two teams from Rutgers in the College of New Jersey now Princeton met in a contest often regarded

as the first intercollegiate football game. Each team consisted of twenty five men, and the only uniforms were scarlet scarves the Rutgers players wrapped around their heads. You imagine what that looked like. Look like a Benja Terris. That's what they look like. Anyway. About one hundred spectators looked on, including Rutgers professors, stayed only long enough to predict, you men will come to no Christian end. That eighteen sixty nine game was closer to soccer than modern American football.

Players kicked the ball down the field and scored by sending it between two posts. Whichever team scored six goals first was the winner. Rutgers won six to four. Five years later, the game took a turn toward football as we know it when a team from McGill University in Montreal showed up in Cambridge to play some fellows from Harvard. The McGill team, it turned out, had come to play rugby, which permitted players to run with the ball and tackle.

The Harvard team played a more soccer like game. They decided to play two games, first by Harvard's rules, then by mcgills. Most of the Harvard boys had never heard of rugby, but they went wild over the sport and soon introduced it to the US colleges. During the next few years, players began to mix rugby with American kicking game,

and out of that game football no way. The eighteen eighties, Yale coach and former player Walter Camp led the way in establishing rules about downs, yards to gain, snapping the ball to the quarterback, and tackling below the waist. Camp more than anyone else is remembered as the father of American football. Okay, I harkened back to that first comment by the professor, the men will come to know Christian end. Is that why they play the games on Sundays? Spike

it in the face of that guys. Anyway, now they play after church. It's over. Well, most churches that would have been on eight on this date in eighteen sixty nine. Seventeen eighty nine, John Carroll of Maryland is appointed as the first Roman Catholic Bishop in the United States. Eighteen sixty Abraham Lincoln defeats through other candidates to become the

sixteenth US president. Eighteen eighty eight, Republican Benjamin Harrison receives fewer popular votes but more electoral votes to defeat incumbent Grover Cleveland to become the twenty third US president. And in nineteen twenty eight, Republican Herbert Hoover defeats Democrat Alfred E. Smith to become the thirty first US president. So there you go. Well, now, what shall we talk about today? I could take calls, but I'm not gonna. There will

be time for that, but not today. Today. It's about going through the results, offering a little analysis here and there. We have invited some phone calls. We'll see what happens on that front of some guests. We do have Zack Smith from Heritage Foundation joining us. Was there election integrity generally speaking, or was it merely held at bay by the popular vote? There are still races to be decided that will be remarkably consequential. We will get to all

of that and more. We come back a little reaction to some phone calls we had yesterday, and I want to zero in on one in particular, with an honorable mention to another sixteen past the hour. It is the morning show with me, all right, there's I'm getting obviously a lot of email here and there's a lot to say, and we will we will get to that. I mean, this is just just a day. I told, I told it was a yesterday. I said that, don't expect to run down with a lot of a lot of specifics.

It's just going to be very broad because we're going to react to what happened, and so I don't have quote stories pulled. I'm in fact, even as I'm talking right now, I'm writing things that are coming to my mind on certain topics I thought and we will get to Amendment three, the marijuana amendment, and Amendment four, the abortion amendment, both failed, which is just awesome. I was shocked because the prediction was that they would both pass, but that if one was going to fail, one was

going to pass, it would be the marijuana one. The marijuana one fell by fell short by a great margin than the abortion amendment. I mean, electorally speaking, the marijuana amendment didn't come close to the sixty percent it needed. It just didn't. And that's interesting what I want to And I'm only hoping that Nelly is listening. Nell Nelly called in yesterday and her call about her story and

her family, and it just it touched a lot of people. Nellie, if you're listening, send me an email with the name of your restaurant, because I've got a whole lot of people that want to support your restaurant and go have a meal. So I'm putting out the request. Nelly, you can send me email Preston at iHeartRadio dot com and yeah, because I believe that your story touched a lot of people. Now in a similar way, Roger touched a lot of

people now. Roger doubled down in a note to me afterwards, saying he was called names, and some certainly called him. I don't believe I called him any names. I disagreed with him, and I pointed out why Roger's the alleged Republican that voted for Kamala. And let me just make it, make this really, really clear. You're not a Republican if you voted for Kamala, and that's fine, but don't claim being a Republican because there's not a true Republican that

vote for Kamala. You're just not. And like I said, that's okay. But if you missed the segment yesterday, Roger called in talking about how Trump's policies were awesome, but he won't vote for him, and the basis of his reasoning is a bunch of media spun lies that have been disproven repeatedly. You know, Roger fell victim to the idea that if you repeat a lie often enough, you begin to believe it, And in this case, you repeat

a lie often enough, people begin to believe it. And one of the reasons why I've been very successful doing what I do, even in a community that doesn't think at all like me, is because I'm very successful at explaining truth and explaining facts. And it's honestly why I don't get many personal attacks. I don't. I just don't because and so you know, yeah, Roger stirred up some people. But here's the thing. In four years, Roger's got himself

a real problem. And people like Roger because the policies that he so enjoyed, which he admitted he enjoyed under Trump, but he wasn't going to vote for him because he would rather sentence our country to four more years of Biden, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama misery. You talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face, right, I mean no, really, I mean it's just it's mind numbing to me. I don't understand it. I'm I'm you know, I don't. I

don't hate the guy. I just he represents and I commended him for being brave enough to call in and own it, and I commend him for that well done. But you're wrong, And in four years you're gonna have a real interesting situation because you're gonna have to reconcile that you didn't vote for the guy who made your life better and tried to fix what's been broken for the last four years and he's gonna be out of the picture. Donald Trump's not running for reelection in four years.

So now what are you gonna do? And what that's gonna cause for a lot of people across this country is it's going to cause this this moral confluence of uh oh, I actually voted for everything that I allegedly hated as a Republican. Now what do I do? Do you just ignore that? I mean, I don't know how

you do it. I really don't. But when we come back, we're gonna start to reset some results, and we'll start with local because we've got the tallassie audience primarily in the early hour here, and we'll broad and go stayed in national and and and we'll tell you what happened, and we'll go a little deeper and explain it all. Twenty eight minutes past the hour, Nelly Preston at iHeartRadio dot com, Nellie, send me an email. This is the

Morning Show with Preston Scott. Well thirty seven minutes past the hour, and it's the day after Here on the Morning Show with Preston Scott Election Day plus one. Nelly was listening and so good morning, Nelly and her restaurant that she and her family run is Pico's on Back Beach, Panama City Beach. And so for those of you that are in the Capital City area, when you hand head off over to the beach, you know where to go.

You go to Peter Park, hang out for a while, and you make sure you have yourself some food at Pico's on Back Beach. Nellie, I promise you there's going to come a time that my wife and I come visit you and have a meal at your place. Cannot wait to meet you in person, but she said, I start my day listening to your morning Bible devotional. Thankful for your support. I learned English by listening to Rush Limbaugh. That's how I learned to love America many years ago.

You go, girl, that's just brilliant. That just is. And like the this is not a typical show. So the big stories are all morning long, right. I just have to do this because a listener sent this to me. The Babylon b headline America unburdens itself from what has been with a picture of Kamala. Doctor Bob McClure said on this program that he believed that Donald Trump would win the popular vote. He will. I suggested that if the voter turnout was big enough, they were gonna just

fold up their tent and not try to cheat. I believe I've been proven correct because a lot of the states that we weren't sure when we were going to get results from, at least in the presidential race, we've got them. Trump will be returned to the Oval office. Now there's the Senate and there's the House, and there's much to be decided. But one thing I can say. The Republicans will gain back control of the Senate. They will likely retain control of the House. But we'll get

to that next forty minutes past the hour. It is The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Right now, Republicans look like they will retain control of the House. The numbers are not set. There are still races undecided. That's where you don't count your chicken too soon, because we're not done yet. Now in the Senate, they're going to have

fifty one seats at least. What's interesting is Republicans are leading in another I think four or five races, which could push the Republican majority to near historic levels if that holds. And that's where we just we don't know yet, you know, don't spike the football on that one. We're just gonna have to wait and see where it all shakes out. But that's going to lead to another set

of responsibilities. I'll put it to you that way. And again, I'll talk more about this in just a little bit, but I want to get to some local as in right here in Tallahassee, Leon County. In the County Judge Group four, rays Lashawn Riggins won by less than one percent, less than one percent. For the County Judge Group four seat County Commission at Large Group one, Carolyn Cummings, the incumbent, won easily, basically seventy percent to thirty percent over David Hawkins.

In District four, County commission Brian Welch Nearrow were margin, but still a substantial margin, sixty to forty or sixty one percent to thirty nine percent. Curtis Richardson held his seat, defeating Dott Edman Johnson. His win was roughly twelve hundred votes. He won by twelve hundred votes. The other important set of decisions made by city voters. You voted to give them a raise city commissioners. I'm shocked, but you did fifty six to forty four percent. Wasn't close. You want

to expand the Independent Ethics Board. That was seventy three percent to twenty seven That was a heck, yeah, we want more ethics. Okay, two candidate elections only resolved in the general election. No more August settling elections at least when there's only two you wanted that as well. Good, But we're not done yet. We need the state to do a couple of things. We need the state to step in and say, if your city's greater than an hundred thousand or more, you must have districts representing the

entire area. That's one thing that needs to happen. The second thing, relating to elections is that when there's more than two candidates, it cannot be settled in the general election. That can't happen again. So we'll work on that. Providing a periodic review of the Charter yes eighty percent to twenty percent. On that one eighty one percent to nineteen actually, and defining the role of the Inspector General. It was passed sixty five percent to thirty five percent. So those

are your results. Now here's what I want to caution you about before we switch gears and talk about some state races. Jeremy Mattlowe has gotten a bit of a punch in the face by this result, because he took roughly two hundred thousand dollars in dark money from outside of this community, outside of this state to try to sway this election, and he darnear did it, but he got beat. He's got problems because his campaign aid and

not campaign aid, his aid in office. Ryan Ray, the head of the local Democrat Party, is now answering a lot of questions about his personal life, and TPDS answering questions are going to be forced to Why you let a guy drive away from a DUI He should have been duied, probably probably when they're with a breathalyzer, don't know, but the camera, the videotape shows a guy with slurred speech that was let off, and they did not do background checks to find out this is not a new occurrence.

He got preferential treatment. It's interesting to me, and I'm just gonna throw this out there. It's interesting to me that Matt low and and Jared and Ryan Ray have decided to make TPD a target when he got preferential treatment from TPD. That's a ballsy move. But let me let me warn you, Tallahassee voters, the blueprint is out on what matt Loow is going to do and how he's going to do it. You barely pushed it off this time. And I will say to Curtis Richardson, you're

welcome because voters in the northeast, save your bacon. The readers of Tallahassee reports saved your bacon, the listeners of this radio program saved your bacon. The precincts don't lie. So I hope you're responsive to citizens in that part. But regardless, we're gonna get districts. We're gonna get it happen. It's gonna happen some way, somehow. It's gonna happen. May take may take a while, but it's gonna happen. But there's a warning here for all of you. Jerry Mattlow

has changed the game. So be it. That's how we'll play that. Forty eight minutes after the hour, it's the Morning Show with Preston Scott's. Another local race needing to be mentioned is Superintendent of Schools. Rocky Hannah took nearly seventy two percent of the vote, defeating principal Joe Burgess from Child High School. It wasn't even close. Wasn't even close, and I knew it wouldn't be. So Rocky gets what he says will be his final term in office. So

there you go local races. Now let's go to some state results that I think are interesting. Don Gates is back in the state Senate. Matt Gates's dad, who was Senate president some years ago, ran again District one, won sixty five percent of the vote, handily defeating Democrat Lisa Newell Corey Simon, a victory over liars. Corey got fifty six percent of the vote to forty four percent for

Daryl Parks. So Cory's won reelection. That's significant, and Daryl was demonstrated to be a liar, it didn't stop him. He kept lying. I personally think that the first set of lives are so egregious. He should have been sued

in court for not just slander, but libel. Get this District five State Senate Tracy Davis, a Democrat, out of one hundred and fifty five seven hundred and fifty eight votes, got one hundred and fifty five, seven hundred and fifty eight votes, got every single vote versus a write in candidate Vernon Leep Harker. That just made me laugh. In the State House, in District six, Griff Griffiths, Republican, won easily.

Shane Abbott won in District five, Republican easily. Pat Maney won Republican in District four, Alexandraid Republican one in district District two, Michelle Salzman Republican in District one. District three, Joel Rudman won. It changes at District eight, but Jason Chauff wins in District seven, Gallup Franklin wins Democrat in eight, and Alison Tant retains her seat in District nine. It's the second hour of the Morning Show with Preston Scott.

It is Wednesday, November sixth, day one of the day after and Show fifty two to seventies OSA in Studio one A. I'm here in Studio one B. Today it's mostly just kind of going through everything that happened and digesting it all. Some of you are probably pinching yourselves because in the grand scheme of things, it could not have gone much better. Buddy Mine on an email sent this sent in a note, and he said, one more chance, one more chance to repent as a country and stop

with the woke antichrist nonsense. We dodged as big of a bullet as this country's ever seen. That's true. And that gets to I've been writing some notes down. Needless to say, this is one of those rare shows. I could not prep for the way that I normally do, which is, you know, in the afternoon the day before and the night before, and then come in in the morning and just kind of tidy up. This was get in here early. So I went to bed, I mentioned

last hour. I went to bed with great peace, not because Trump would or wouldn't win, or you know, that had nothing to do with it. Just Jesus's Lord. And our verse today was was from John fourteen, and I'm gonna repeat it because it says peace I leave with you my peace I give you. I will take the peace that has offered me from the God of the

universe seven days out of seven. You know. Jose shared a story about how when he walked out of the voting booth yesterday, he walked outside and he just shouted Jesus's no matter what happens. Jesus is still on the throne, and it created quite a response in the parking lot, some shouts of amen and some I hear that and yeah, exactly. But this is how I would summarize this. First of all, it's not over now Trump's gonna be president. That is

over the hater sites that are out there. I almost want to watch the view today just to see them melt down. Their makeup will just melt off their faces. Some are gonna cry, I'll bet right now. Out of the five, I put the over under a two point five women crying on the panel. I'm setting it at two point five. No, I'm not watching that trash. But I want to be very sober minded here. I want to caution you as we took back this no you didn't, No we didn't, and that type of rhetoric. I want

to challenge you to avoid. Here's why. On the other side, there's there's some good people and I've always hated that language and to take back this country. I think it's arrogant language. I think it is divisive language. I think it is almost hateful language, and I know it's not productive language. Lest you forget, Trump didn't didn't win the popular vote by a land slide. He won the popular vote, which many thought was unthinkable that he was going to

win an electoral victory. Thank God, that's not going to be the case. No, truly, we didn't need that as a nation. But now comes a responsibility to govern. And I want to put some context to that and share a couple other thoughts before we start to unpack the state constitutional amendments that mercifully failed, as well as some other things. Ten past the hour. We're not spiking any footballs, not yet. I say you are all essential workers. Welcome

to the Morning Show with Preston Scott. Now, a lot of you know my feelings about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. He's been the resident of the White House and she the Vice resident. I don't believe they were lawfully and legally ever elected. I don't, And I thought it was imperative for Trump to win the popular vote, not just to squelch even though Clantifa is still being Clantifa. But the fact of the matter is that you know, Trump's going to win the popular vote. He's going to win

the electoral College as a result handily. But here's the thing. Donald Trump cannot govern with executive orders. This time around, there will be some he needs to take care of simply to undo executive orders of Biden, which is the Obiden administration. So there will have to be a flurry of executive orders just to cancel a bunch of executive orders that were just immoral and wrong. But that said, from the border to the defense of this country to

the energy sector. Donald Trump is likely going to have a majority in both the House and the Senate, and the Senate majority could be as slim as two, it could be as great as four or five, maybe even six. There's a chance Trump could be really given the room to govern and the support to govern. They've gained two seats in the Senate flipping West Virginia because Joe Mansram retired. They've got a Republican now in flipping Ohio. But they've got four or five other seats in the Senate that

they could take. Where they're leading right now, that's where we don't know what's going to happen. We just don't know. But here's the analogy I've come to that I think, if I need to say so myself, is pretty spot on because I believe Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have been squatters in the White House. Ergo squatters in running our government on behalf of Barack Obama and destroying our nation. I want you to look at it that way. This is what you see when squatters are thrown out of

a place destruction. Have you ever seen a home where squatters have lived? It's trashed. Now the work begins. Republicans in the House, the Senate, the President elect, and the Vice president. They need to fix the House that has been trashed for four years and I mean trashed. My message to any of you alleged Republicans that voted for Kamala you're not a Republican. You're not, and that's okay.

I would rather you become a registered Democrat if you really could stand and support that, than ever claim to be a Republican, just like don't claim to be a Christian. If you're not, you hurt the cause. If you come to your senses, because you're gonna see now with policy, good fiscal, economic, secure based policy, you're going to see this economy start to grow. Now, there are some problems that he's going to face, and we're going to detail

those and he better faced them smartly. And Trump better make better choices on his cabinet and who he surrounds himself with this time around, he better make much better choices. But just know this, it is up to you and I to now hold the elected members of Congress accountable. There are no excuses now, they're just aren't get it done, because you have two years till the next set of elections to make a case to the American people who voted against you, win them over with good policy and

results that you can message and point to. Seventeen minutes past the hour, it's morning show, Grand Allen, we witness history. Trump is the first president since FDR to win three presidential elections in a row. Brilliant, young man, brilliant. That's terrific. We'll get to that weet. We'll talk more about that and some of the interesting little oddities of the of the election. I told you if it was too big, we wouldn't have we wouldn't be seeing the drama, the

dramas in the House and the Senate. It's not the president. He's won. Look, I wasn't sure it was possible. The rig was in absolutely anyway state constitutional Amendments three and four failed. The amendments that passed, the right to fish and hunt, got sixty seven percent of the vote. It passed, surprising. Now, it's interesting not all hunters and fishermen are in agreement on this one. There are some that didn't like this for different reasons. And the adjustments to the value of

homestead exemptions. It passed. It got sixty six percent of the vote. Now I want to look a little deeper into the amendment for abortion. It got to fifty seven percent. It needed sixty. I wrote this note thank you to all of you involved in the messaging against Amendment four. I'm not going to name names because I'm just privy to some people that were key in the entire statewide campaign, the ads you saw on television messaging billboards. I happened

to know someone that was leading that charge. I'm not going to name that person. I knew before the campaign ever started that this person was going to be instrumental in it. You know who you are. Thank you. You and your team were brilliant because you chose the messaging of this is too extreme. You came up with a message that actually appealed to people that are pro choice that stepped back and went, you know, this isn't right, this is too far. This was not just a victory.

This was a massive spiritual win for this state. But you best recognize fifty seven percent favored it. There is a need to improve messaging on the issue of babies in mother's womb. Surprising to me, the amendment that got less support was Amendment three. A lot of the prognosticators felt that recreational marijuana was a slam dunk. It wasn't you're gonna find this maybe strange supporters, you can blame Kamala. Now hear me out the margin of Rick Scott his win,

the margin of Trump's win in Florida. Normally Florida is a single digit win. We're talking four points points three points, both one by twelve points or more, roughly double digits. For sure. Down ballot matters, there was if you look at a few of the state races and congressional races, Kama just didn't get it done. She did not bring people to the voting booth, and as a result, you didn't have the type of person that quite frankly, would have to be high to vote from Kamala Harris and

so think about it. The marijuana amendment got fifty five point eight percent statistically, not really close. And that leads me to my next Thank you Mark Wilson and the team at the Florida Chamber of Commerce that years ago recognized the need to raise the threshold to sixty percent on state constitutional amendments. They led that fight so that it could you imagine every single one of these passes if it was the way it was. Now here's what

I'll posit. You can make the argument that ought to be raised to seventy five percent because that's what's required to change the United States Constitution. Seventy five percent of the states. And maybe that's something to think about putting on the ballot. Making it very difficult to change our state constitution. Make it as difficult to change as it is to change the United States Constitution. Just throwing that out there. Twenty eight past the hour, Election Day plus

one on the Morning Show with Preston Scott. There are so many sidebar stories to the Trump win. There will be analysis coming up four weeks months. We're gonna ask Zach Smith next hour from the Heritage Foundation, what happens to these court cases? Would they dare try to put him in jail. Really, you know, I had something to say about that. He's a guy who was targeted by the Biden administration and the Department of Justice. Steve Bannon last night, he had something to say.

We've had his back. But I gotta tell you, he may be empathetic, he may have a kind heart, he may be a good man, but we're not okay, and you deserve, as Natalie Winters say says, not retribution justice, but you deserve what we call rough Roman justice, and we're prepared to give it to you.

There are some good people in California that don't want any part of what's going on in that state. But guess what, Adam Shift's their representative. And you know what, I'm glad because now we can ask him some questions under oath as a member of the United States Senate. Good luck with that, Adam. By the way, where is that smoking gun on the Russian collusion? Remember from twenty sixteen? Remember that? Remember that, Adam? Yeah, that's where I get

a little frosty, just just just a little frosty. Forty minutes after the hour, some more interesting little notes from the presidential race. Next to the M A D Radio Network, where we challenge you to make a difference in your world in a positive way, improving the lives of others. It's the Morning Show with President Scott. Last night on CNN, Jake Tapper gets shown a map that Mala Harris did

not outperform Joe Biden in one county. Eric Abernante posting Trump was the biggest winner tonight, Joe Biden the second biggest winner. Biden sitting back, laughing, if he can cognitively understand what happened, can you just hear Jill.

Doctor Bob called it. He called it last month. Come on, Justin Haskins had an inkling that he could win the popular vote. Doctor McClure more confident, justin hopeful Rick Scott wins his seat Florida Senate. There are some other races we need to to kind of take a look at in the Senate. Remember when we were being told Ted Cruz was going to lose, that Colin Aured was going to beat him. Ninety six point seven percent of the precincts reporting in ted Cruz has nearly a one million

vote lead in Texas. Texas is solidly read. That seat is retained. Montana, the incumbent tester is losing by eight percentage points with eighty six point five percent of the precincts reporting, And that brings up another point I want to get to. Bottom line, Republicans are likely going to gain a seat or two in the House, we think, but that it's still not decided yet. And that's where these vote totals it's problematic. In the Senate, they're gonna

have fifty one Republicans. The Republicans are going to take control. And oh, by the way, in case you forgot Mitch McConnell's out, they will be picking a new Senate majority leader. Rick Scott will be among the candidates, but the Senate could go as high as fifty two, fifty three, fifty four, maybe even fifty five seats. That means that Donald Trump will have a Republican Congress to work with. And let me tell you something, don't celebrate. That's when the work

begins and they better govern well. Forty seven minutes after them, more to come on The Morning Show with Preston Scott. Preston Scott. Trump made huge games with Latino voters, huge first Republican president I think in history to win Miami Dade. I mean, and I told you, I have told you for years, and I got hate mail, especially from one guy when I said Blacks are leaving the plantation that the Democrats have built for them. You see the Rhode

Island leader of Black Lives Matter voting for Trump. Do you see the numbers of blacks, males and females voting for Trump. There is a coalition building of working class minorities that are saying, what have we been doing blindly voting for Democrats all these years? What are we doing? Let's let's do what they do at college basketball time when they're doing the blind resumes. Let's cover up Democrat Republican. Let's cover up names. Let's just look at records. Let's

just look at records. Let's look at at when we prospered. When did we get manufacturing jobs back, When did we get raises? When did we see costs suppressed by the marketplace because it was thrive? When was unemployment driven down by opportunity? A perfect blending of opportunity and jobs and job seekers. And you pull off the tape and it's Trump's name. Check check check, check check. Trump's going to lower the tax rate on businesses. Some of you are

getting raises. Businesses are going to move back to America. They were here when Trump was here. Biden says, I'm raising taxes on businesses. Business says, peace out. They do a wily coyote. The dust spins out behind them, and off they go. They're gone. Now they're like, well, now I'm glad we're renting. We can go back. It's safe to do business in America. Quietly, Biden can tariffs in place that Trump had because they were working. The missing part of the ingredient was the US side tariffs on

China products. Chinese products good good, good good, But we missed on the US manufacturing side, because we added one hundred thousand pages to the Registry, the Federal Registry in regulatory paperwork. Man, give me the red pen. Let's just scratch that stuff out. Let's get energy back. Let's start drilling, let's start fracking. Let's start doing away with all of these mandates that you'll do this, and you'll do that, and you'll buy this and you'll buy that. You got

two years to get it right. And if you improve the lives of Americans in just two years, you can now start to talk about changing the trajectory of this nation. Does it happen?

that mic set first. Yes, that was a gentleman names Okay, go ahead. It's for a gentleman named Steve. He says that that miss Camps is in District nine, not eight. I don't know who that is. Christian Camp It's it's it's fleeting me at the moment. Are you talking about a state race or what are we talking about?

Republican District four, and this is state representative. You had Pat Maney winning Republican, Joel Rudman Republican in District three, alexandreid Republican District two, and Michelle Salzman Republican District one. That's the state's state house. In the state Senate, you had done Gates winning District one Republican, Cory Simon winning District three Republican. You had Tracy Davis, a Democrat, beat a write in getting every single vote in District five,

literally everyone. I mean, that's something to put on your wall. I don't care who you are that that you win that by you get everybody to vote for you that voted. Man, I'm doing a dance in the end zone. I'm doing the choreograph dance. I'm calling the whole team over and I'm doing the rowboat or the dice roll or whatever whatever you want to do. But yeah, if you can write me if you've got a question about But now we gave the results correctly in these state races, how

San Senate. Obviously Trump wins, right, and it's significant that he wins the pop popular vote as well as the electoral college, because that just shuts down the arguments on the electoral college being such a scam and a sham, and it's no. The electoral college is what separates us as a constitutional republic. It gives weighted, fair balance to the election process. Donald Trump winning the popular vote as well just speaks to Kamala just didn't get it done.

Now I'm grateful, but I'm also horrified the number of people that voted for Kamala Harris that just overlooked the fact that she did not ever go through the primary process. She wasn't vetted properly, she was a terrible candidate, and yet she came within a you know, a few percentage points I guess of winning. As of right now, Trump passed two hundred and seven electoral votes and Kamala Harris two twenty six, and you just need two seventy, so

he's got the margin. There are still some Senate seats US Senate seats, and I want to go through those next real quickly. Though Amendment three, the marijuana amendment failed to reach the necessary number. It did not pass. The abortion amendment failed to reach the necessary number. It did not pass. I think we need to look very hard at pushing the required numbers to pass a constitutional amendment, but not without a very good and coordinated messaging campaign.

I'd recommend the people that were involved in the No on four and No on three campaign have a powout together and put something together that forms the citizens that what the US Constitution does requiring three quarters of the states is good enough, let's require three quarters of the voters. Now, I'm reminded that we tried to do two thirds sixty

six percent and that failed. It did not pass. I say try again, try again with appropriate messaging on why the document that governs this state should not be changed at the whim of one business i e. True leave and out of state players that have a vested financial interest.

Ironically enough, John Morgan, a prolific weed smoker by his own admission, is not going to bet a fit from the passage of the marijuana bill because the marijuana bill would have indirectly profited personal injury lawyers by a massive amount. Think about it. More res more rex on the road due to people's driving impaired. Hello eleven, passed the hour. Okay,

some important stuff with regard to the United States Senate. Next, my cell phone is blowing up with text messages from friends and family.

But I was pretty much in bed at seven thirty. And I got up early because I knew I would be prepping for the show before the show, not the night day before the show, which is my pattern, because I knew that I would only be talking about what happened last night. And so from the low local results and national results, got a little bit to talk about with for those of you in Bay County election results locally there that will have a dramatic impact on your community.

But it's interesting if you look at the state of Florida before I transition here and talk about the US Senate, if you look at the state of Florida, there are these little pockets of Democrats that still survive, and those are the parts that are suffering dysfunction. But that's for another day. US Senate made some notes here. As of right now there are one, two, three, four, five, six seats in place. Still the day after now can someone

explain to me how that's possible. We knew by eight eight thirty last night what was going to happen here in Florida, because we have electronic tabulation with optical scanners by and large statewide and paper ballot backups. I don't know what's hard about this. We must do this nationally. A state that is interested in fair elections will use a system like we use. You always have a paper backup. Now that said, right now, Nevada, Montana, and Mission and Pennsylvania,

Republicans are leading. So Republicans hold in those seats. That pushes the Republican advantage in the Senate to fifty four. That is pushing historic territory there. They still have a shot in Michigan, They're like less than a percentage point away in Michigan. They still have a shot in Wisconsin and Arizona. Arizona, there are a lot of votes still out. It's likely Maricopa County again. And Maricopa County tends to

be a Republican stronghold. I lived there. They had to cheat last year, not last year, in twenty twenty, last election, So there's reason to con first, to continue to pray God your will be done. But don't let evil triumph. Look, if Democrats win fairly and honestly, I'm fine with that, I really am. I would hate it from a policy perspective, but I can live with that. I cannot abide by cheating, cannot will not win fair. Look credit to Mark Cuban.

Mark Cuban's out there saying President Trump won fair and square. Thank you, thank you. That's my approach towards Democrats winning these seats. If you win fair, good, fair enough, that's representative of the voters of that area. So be it. They've had their say. That's how our system of a constitutional republic works. But don't you dare cheat. I'm just

breaking the news to you right now. Right now, Republicans lead in three Senate seats that could push the number to fifty four in the Senate if for some reason they could. They pulled off Arizona, Wisconsin, and Michigan. And it's doable in Michigan. It's absolutely doable in Michigan. Now it could be so close to cheating matters because that one's razor I mean, we're talking razor thin. But just

think about it. You win all six of those you're staring at fifty seven seats, almost nineteen minutes past the hour. A little more some news for Bay County listeners. Next. All right, we're seeing reports here that some of the news outlets are calling Montana for a flip and it's going to go Republican. Former I believe Navy sealed Tim Sheehey is looking like he's going to win handily. Not a close vote. I think it's John Tester he's beating. And so that would now bump the margin in the

Senate to fifty two to forty eight. They get another, it's fifty three to forty seven. They get another, it's fifty four to forty six. It could be forty five. There might be an independent or two that are caucusing with the Dems, and there's one or two kind of sort of rhinos. At least that many rhinos. But this is where peer pressure comes in. This wave is a Trump wave. These you know, Ohio flipping. Is Donald Trump, Ohio going Republican in the Senate, the US Senate is

Donald Trump. That's down ballot. That is all the way down ballot. Because Trump won Ohio handily. By the way, I was told that the last Republican to win Miami Dade was George H. W. Bush in nineteen eighty eight, which would have been on the heels of him being vice president to Ronald Reagan, so on the heels of Reaganism in nineteen eighty had another email that came in that said, I think Trump's going to go down as the best president of the twenty first century. We'll see,

we'll see. He hasked to address the debt of this nation, among other things, and will unpack all of that. Remember, this election has to be certified by Kamala Harris, she's the vice resident. How ironic is that the election gets certified in the Senate. So there's more to come in all of this, we'll see right now. Trust me, they're thumbing through every possible scenario that they can to try to thwart this. But what was I saying? I was

talking about the Senate. Okay, we know where we are there. Anyway, Bay County by a significant margin, sixty percent to forty. You passed the one half cent sales surtax. You're keeping it good, good decision. We have Pat Chapin on the program from the Bay County Chamber and we talked about it, and you know it is interesting. I like, hey, can I talk about this? I said, absolutely, But you're gonna find no bigger proponent than me. Those of you in Bay County you were you did the right thing, and

those of who had voted against it. It's okay. You're going to benefit from voting from those who voted for it and out voting you, just like you already have. I personally would vote it to a penny. That's just me, though, because that has worked brilliantly here. The only flaw in the system that we have seen show up in Leon County is that the one cent, not half cent, one cent sales tax fifteen percent of that I think can be used for economic development. That was a bad decision

by the state legislature to let that happen. They need to do away with that and make all of that money go to infrastructure, sidewalks, roads, sewage, underground utilities. You could make that happen. It would take for it would take a long time, but for many many areas that don't have that, that's how you do it. And it's a consumption tax that visitors pay as well as residents. It's the best. So anyway, twenty eight past the hour,

Zach Smith from Heritage Foundation joins me. Next. All right, we got about ten good minutes with Zach Smith, friend of ours from the Heritage Foundation, Zach legal expert analyst, and Zach your thoughts this morning.

and yet here we are. Even though it was very late when the election was ultimately called, we knew at the end of the night who the winner of the presidential election was because the margins that Donald Trump ran up were so big, and so thankfully we evoided any questions about the legitimacy of election, whether it was rigged or not, any of that sort of stuff. And that is a good thing for us as a country.

tabulation machines. We saw Georgia and some other states coming in much slower, I think than many people would have liked still, and I think when you look in contrast to how things ran in Florida, Florida really has been for many years now, but particularly last night, I think showed it was a gold standard in many ways when

it comes to election integrity and running elections. Think about how big our state is Fela floridin as well, how diverse our state is in terms of population, in terms of the size of counties, and yet within two and a half three hours after the polls closed, FARDA had

all of its votes tabulated. We knew who won Florida, we knew which amendments had passed us, how things should run nationwide, and hopefully more and more states, the citizens in more and more states will continue pushing their elected officials to move in that direction.

regimes in the country. And unfortunately, I think the ballot summaries on both of those amendments were somewhat misleading, and so I was very thankful to see that we have flurity and saw through that we rejected both of these amendments. And frankly, I think Governor Ron DeSantis deserves a lot of credit for standing firm against both of these very very bad amendments.

ballot was actually very, very miss leading. It was brained as an effort to prohibit government infusion into come this private decision, and that is not what that amendment in particular would do. And so I think education on this issue needs to continue to happen. But thankfully, again we as Floridians saw through that and rejected those outside efforts. And look, the amount of money spent to back those amendments by left wing groups, by large cannabis corporations for

Amendment three was absolutely astronomical. And so to see that we saw through the effort as Floridians, even though it was backed by big, big outside money coming into our state, that is a good day for us as Floridians.

seventy five percent, and I suspect that's a conversation. It's happened in the recent pass in the legislature, and I suspect you'll continue to see that type of conversation happening again in the immediate future.

whether president can pardon himself or herself. I think the president likely has that power. Will be interesting to watch at the federal level precedents what happens between now and inauguration day, because at least so far, Jack Smith has indicated he's going to put the pedal to the medal and move as quickly as he can in those prosecutions. Now, in terms of the state prosecutions, Donald Trump can't pardon himself.

The DJ, the federal DJ cannot dismiss those charges. But I suspect those prosecutions are sentencings maybe put on pause essentially because I can't foresee a scenario where supremacy Clause or other provisions the federal constitution would allow for a sitting US president to be imprisoned by one of the fifty states. That's one of the things that Framers, I'm sure, did not want to happen when they drafted our constitution.

Our In terms of the January sixth defendants, I suspect you will see a push departon some, if not most, of those defendants, and we'll just have to wait and see how that plays out once Donald Trump is in office.

room to improvement for sure. But at the end of the day, we knew who won the presidential election last night, which is a better outcome I think to many people.

didn't just start the program. We mentioned throughout the program our verse, which is John fourteen twenty seven where Jesus said peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you. Spent some time talking about that this morning. Obviously, we unpacked the election results in our local community here in Tallahassee, where we are no real races in Panama City other than the half cent the syrtax and glad

you passed it, Well done, good for you. The state, thankfully, at least forty one percent or more of this state said no, we're not going to have unrestricted killing of babies in mother's wombs. We're not. And thankfully forty plus percent of this state said we are not going to have recreational marijuana in a monopoly and more people dead on the roads because of driving under the influence. No, we're not going to harm children. No, we're not going

to allow this to invade our public spaces. Thankfully, the state of Florida stayed reliably Republican, in our case, conservative republican generally speaking. Thankfully, we have a popular vote win. Well done, doctor Bob McClure. Thankfully, we have an electoral win, and there's a chance of fifty four seats or more in the US Senate. We'll talk tomorrow.
