    Election Day Analysis

    The fallout from Tuesday's election continues to unfold. Those who allege that President Trump was going after political opponents are now telling those in this administration to "Lawyer Up." Yesterday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said it was a "close to extinction-level event for Republicans." He warned the impact of the election results are going to last "far beyond just two years." Ballot questions on abortion lost in 3 out of 4 states, not to mention the abortion measures that will be advanced by a new Democratic legislative body. And although some ballot questions went against the LGBTQ agenda, the LGBTQ Nation is touting the fact that at least 16 LGBTQ+ lawmakers will be sworn in to the House and Senate next year, making them what they report to be "the largest group of queer legislators ever to serve in Congress." The Daily Signal reports, "Democratic Socialists of America chapters are already mobilizing to gain nation power in the 2028 election, passing resolutions urging member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for president." The goal is to derail the Trump agenda and certainly to advance leftist causes. All Israel News reported, "The National Exit Polls showed that white Evangelical or born-again Christians accounted for just 17% of the national electorate, compared with 24% in the 2022 midterms and approximately 23% in 2024."

But before that we'll discuss the blue wave that hit the nation. The Red/Green Alliance has intensified. Both the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate have flipped to Democratic Control. It's been reported that Speaker Mike Johnson will not be seeking the speakership in the next term. Washington DC has elected its first ever Democratic Socialist Mayor. Not a single Republican won statewide in Texas flipping both the office of the Governor and the U.S. Senate Seat. The first elected Muslim is going to the U.S. Senate, Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan. Kansas is sending a Democrat to the Senate for the first time in nearly 100 years.

    Election Day 2026

    Today is Election Day. Before you go to vote, check your polling hours and take the proper ID with you. Stay in line because if you're in line when polls close, you can still vote. If you have a mail ballot, drop it off today at it's proper location. Friends, there is too much at stake to sit this one out. Every seat in the U.S. House is being voted on today as is one-third of the U.S. Senate. This means that today's election will determine control of both the House and the Senate along with the agenda of whatever party is in control. Some 36 states are voting on the office of governor. 15 of the incumbent governors are term-limited. Six are Democrats and nine are Republicans. There are 31 lieutenant governor seats on the ballot. 30 attorney general seats are on the ballot as are 26 secretary of state positions. There are some 296 state executive offices in 43 states on the ballot. These include school superintendents, stage agency commissioners and others. Most states are voting on their state legislative offices. The makeup of the legislatures also will determine what agenda is furthered. Then there are the referendum questions in individual states.

    Election Eve 2026

    Mat Staver is founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel. Mat is a constitutional attorney with three landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. He is an author and the host of the radio broadcasts Faith & Freedom and Freedom's Call and the TV broadcast Freedom Alive. We are now on the eve of the 2026 election. Early voting is over and what matters at this point is who will show up at the polls and vote tomorrow. There is much at stake as it relates to the outcome of this election, not just for today, but for the America that we are passing down to our children and grandchildren. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has indicated in an interview with Newsmax that the total number of noncitizens on the voter rolls could exceed 300,000. People are being influenced by the polls, yet Western Journal reported last week the collapse of the polling industry continues with the total number of fake polls which have been exposed reaching 15. The Ohio Secretary of State, which is the state's top election officer, indicated he's concerned that pollsters are chronically under sampling Republicans as we lead up to election day. Noah Webster in his writing "History of the United States" wrote: "When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers just men who will rule in the fear of God. The preservation of government depends on the faithful discharge of this duty." Don't miss this broadcast that covers aspects of the upcoming mid-term election that you simply won't get from mainstream media.

    Apologetics Guide to Trusting the Bible

    Some call the Bible just a book of fairy tales, some call it a bronze age book that cannot be trusted. Some claim that it's a book filled with contradictions, historical inaccuracies and that it conflicts with modern scientific thought. But the Bible says in Psalm 119:160, "Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever." John 17:17 says, "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth." And Jesus said, as is recorded in Matthew 5:18, "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." So is it possible to make a compelling case that Christian belief is based in evidential reality and is far from being a blind or naïve leap of faith? The answer to that is yes! Why do people question or even attack the Bible? Does "apologetics" mean Christians are apologizing for the Bible or their faith? What does it mean that the Bible is inspired by God? Is it inerrant, sufficient and complete? What are six of the most compelling lines of evidence related to the Bible? These and other related questions are answered by Todd Hampson. Todd is an author, speaker, illustrator, animation producer, and co-host of the Prophecy Pros podcast. Todd's award-winning animation company, Timbuktoons, has produced content for many well-known ministry organizations. Todd has a burden to reach the next generation with the Gospel through the convincing proofs of Bible prophecy and apologetics--the very things that led to his salvation as a teenager. He is author of the newly released, "The Apologetics Guide to Trusting the Bible."

    November Election: Faith is on the Ballot

    The clock is ticking and the calendar pages are turning as we approach the November 3rd election, one week from today. What's on the ballot? It's socialism vs. capitalism. Abortion vs life. Many genders vs. male & female. Anti-Israel or pro-Israel. Secure borders or open borders. The abolition of police or law enforcement. The advancement of Islam or the advancement of Christian values. Indeed, faith is on the ballot. You must realize that those who are victorious in this election will vote on issues like these one way or the other. The control of the U.S. House and Senate weighs in the balance. But it's not only Washington DC, it's your state offices, your state legislatures, your courts, your sheriffs, your referendum questions and the list goes on. There will be decisions made that will impact and shape your schools, your courts, your communities. Former U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower said, "The future of this republic is in the hands of the American voter." We must recognize both the wonderful privilege we have and with that comes an important duty, a stewardship before God. That's why the guest on this edition of Crosstalk is urging Christians to get off the sideline. That guest was Debbie Wuthnow. Debbie is president of iVoterGuide, a division of American Family Association Action. She was named president in 2018. They provide information on many thousands of candidates in thousands of races nationwide. What can we learn from the 2020 mid-term election? Will this election bring momentum to the 2028 presidential election? How extensive is the information presented by ivoterguide? Get the answers on this edition of Crosstalk!
