In this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable the guys review President-Elect Trump's Cabinet picks. They also take a look at DOGE--how will this work? And what about Representative Lauren Boebert and others questioning UFO experts on underwater civilizations? They'll also talk about the governors who say they will push back against Trump's deportation plans.

"Elections 2024 are over, most thankfully!
The campaigns for elections began so early and lasted so long that Americans experienced:
ELECTION FATIGUE"
"And burnout, and even despair. It seemed like the election season would never end.
But it did, and Americans resoundingly and clearly voted Donald Trump as President of the United States and JD Vance as Vice President. Trump and Vance won a clear majority of the popular vote and a resounding majority of the electoral college vote, both.
Now comes four years, again, of Donald Trump in office, January 2025 through January 2029. WE THE PEOPLE experienced four years of Trump, 2017-2021. His record is clear. Now the question becomes:
WHAT KIND OF PRESIDENCY WILL DONALD J. TRUMP PRODUCE FOR AMERICA IN HIS NEXT AND LAST FOUR YEARS AS PRESIDENT?"
"Many think Trump has changed, and for the better. Many believe that Trump has become more conciliatory, considerate of other people, cooperative, even with those hostile to him, in order to make certain that he does what is right for America. May it be so. The main objective of a new Trump administration will be to reverse what many feel is the disastrous policies of Biden-Harris and the Democrats in the last four years. WOKE has gone wild. Progressives have ruled the day. Trump intends to reverse all of that and:
MAGA – MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
That is, restore American values as of old, become once again a constitutional country with deep respect for the rule of law. Trump has promised that in this next presidency, he will:
DRAIN THE SWAMP."
"And he pledges to do a far better job of draining and dredging the Washington political swamp.
WE THE PEOPLE should hold him to those promises. We should watch, and pray, and stand up and be heard if Trump breaks any of these promises.
THE ECONOMY. Trump has promised to curb and control inflation. Prices are out of control. We should hold him to that promise.
TAXES. Trump has promised to lower and control taxation. He has also promised to de-politicize the INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS). That organization, constructed to be objective, has become a weapon when needed by the progressives in Washington. That organization needs to be restructured top to bottom. WE THE PEOPLE must hold Trump to that promise.
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS. Trump has promised a massive de-regulation clean-up in Washington and, like Ronald Reagan of old, to get government off the backs of we the people. We must hold Donald J. Trump to that promise.
EDUCATION. Trump has promised to do away with the Department of Education. It has become weaponized, politicized, and aggressively progressive. We must, we must hold Trump to that promise.
THE BORDER. Trump has pledged to shut down the border. He has emphatically promised to stop the ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. We must hold our new president to that promise without exception. It is just simply unbelievable that the Biden administration could operate in such illegal fashion, ignoring the constitution, endangering the economy, our cities, and so many of our citizens by forcing literally millions of illegal immigrants on them. Trump has pledged such ILLEGALITIES will stop the first day of
his presidency. WE MUST HOLD HIM TO THAT PROMISE, WE MUST!"

"FREEDOM. Trump has pledged a revival of the First Amendment and its precious freedoms, protecting without abridgement and without government interference, our rights as citizens to the freedom of:

1. RELIGION
2. SPEECH
3. PRESS
4. ASSEMBLY
5. PETITION
   And nothing is more important to WE THE PEOPLE, the citizens of this great country, than the absolute guarantee of the right to and enforcement of those freedoms by anyone in power, including and especially Trump.
   ISRAEL. New President Trump has promised to support Israel even as the Biden administration has not. Trump has promised to encourage Israel to combat and defeat"
   "Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and especially Iran and any other mid-eastern force which wishes the extinction of the Jewish state and all of its Jewish citizens.
   THE TRUMP AMERICA WILL STAND WITH ISRAEL!"
   "CHINA. China is the most dangerous and lethal foe and enemy of the United States. Military experts believe that there is no other course but war with China, sooner or later. That can occur soon on if China invades Taiwan. WE THE PEOPLE pray that will not happen, but it seems inevitable. Like it or not, America must stand up to China.
   And more. There is much more that the Trump-Vance administration has promised WE THE PEOPLE. We must hold Donald J. Trump to those promises. We must:
   WATCH PRAY
   STAY INVOLVED
   WE MUST HOLD TRUMP TO THOSE PROMISES. Trump has promised to protect the integrity of the Supreme Court. He has promised that there will be no change to the ELECTORAL COLLEGE. We must hold him to those two promises. He has promised to drain the swamp, defang, de-weaponize, and defeat the growing power of the force of state, the agencies of the Federal Government, and we must hold Trump to that promise. We must.
   Donald J. Trump will be our 47th President. WE THE PEOPLE must watch, pray, and not just hope, but demand the promised performance of the Trump administration. WE THE PEOPLE voted for him with a very strong majority. Now, WE THE PEOPLE must hold:
   DONALD J. TRUMP TO THE POLITICAL PROMISES HE MADE!"
   "Then, and only then, can we expect that: GOD WILL BLESS AMERICA!"

In this National Crawford Roundtable podcast episode, the guys review the 2024 Election results. How did we go from "razor-thin margins" and "most narrow election in history" to "landslide"? Who are Trump's most notable appointments so far? What about the "criminal" cases? Will the Fed cases just "go away"?

"It’s over! Finally, Elections 2024 are over and done with.
It may have been, say many American legal citizens, the worst elections ever. It was a season of negativity, lies, half-truths, slander, personal attacks, all of which adding up to national and international disgrace for our once-great country. The candidates and their conduct, almost all of them, were indeed an embarrassment to WE THE PEOPLE. Do you feel that way?
Many Americans are deeply concerned. They worry, fret, and are deeply concerned with the future of our country. They worry about the future, do you? They know that most politicians say and do what they need to do in order to get elected, and then, with virtually no compunction, do what they please, join the power structures, and fly their true political colors. They worry. They are afraid. They are concerned. They have little faith in government and rulers. Are you like that? Do you, as seemingly millions of others, believe that the end is near for America, do you?
Our Lord Jesus Christ has a message for you. He says emphatically in Matthew 6:25: DO NOT WORRY!"

"Don’t worry, Christian. Rather, move on, or as Paul says: “PRESS ON FOR THE PRIZE OF THE HIGH CALLING!”"
"DON’T WORRY! And more from scripture:"
"LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED, NEITHER LET IT BE AFRAID."
"Our God is in control. We may not understand the means, but that control is real. All governments are ordained by God. They come about by His will. So do rulers, dictators, kings and presidents. When it comes to government, elections, and the authority given to those who exercise power:
THEY ARE ORDAINED BY GOD!
Nothing happens politically other than as a result of HIS WILL. Nothing. We should never forget that. If we have done everything we can for the good, for right, for justice,"
"we have voted, stood tall, done what we are expected to do, all the rest is up to the God of the universe.
And our God reminds us, constantly reminds us: MY WAYS ARE NOT YOUR WAYS!
My will, which will be done in heaven and on earth, may or may not be something you understand. We should ask for that understanding, that wisdom, and we should pray without ceasing for the answers we seek. But, if we do not understand or agree, we should always recognize that what happens, everything that happens, EVERYTHING is
according to His will. EVERYTHING!"
"If then, we set our affections on things above and not on things on this earth, then and only then will we not worry. Then and only then will we not give a single thought for the morrow, for no matter how much we plan, worry, none of us can add one single
hour to his or her life, no not one. So, says Jesus of Nazareth, don’t worry, DON’T!"
"The more we worry, the more our Lord describes us as persons of: LITTLE FAITH"
"O YE, O YE OF LITTLE FAITH."
"The more worry, the less faith. The more faith, the less worry. We may worry about earthly kingdoms and kings, but Jesus admonishes us to seek first HIS kingdom and HIS righteousness, and all will be well. The structure of His kingdom, the rules and regulations, and the standards for his righteousness never change. They are eternal, abiding, consistent, always just, where love, real love, abounds. So, set your affections there, up there, in there where there is nothing but faith, hope, love, and justice, and
none of it ever changes, NEVER!"
"There are some who seek vengeance for wrongs done. Don’t, says the Lord: VENGEANCE IS MINE SAYS THE LORD. I WILL REPAY!
Not you, but me. We, on the other hand, should:
REJOICE."
"And, the Apostle Paul confirms. In fact, Paul says we should rejoice in all things, and he says again, and for the second time, I say:"
"REJOICE."
"Think positive. Don’t let your heart be troubled. Rejoice in the Lord. GIVE THANKS IN ALL THINGS. All things. Think on those things, says Paul, which are just, pure, lovely,
commendable, praiseworthy, happy, joyful, and loving. And, says Paul, always have"
"hope, grow and stand by your faith, and remember that everything ultimate comes down to one word:
LOVE,"
"and especially that of the love of Jesus Christ which passes all understanding!
So, don’t worry, my fellow Christian, DON’T WORRY! Render under Caesar the things
that are Caesar’s. Abide by the law, unless Caesar, the government and its rulers cross over from government to the spiritual realm and trespass on the things of God. Then, you are required to stand up, protest, resist, and do everything in your power to protect and defend the things of God. You are commanded to do that knowing that, with the power of our Lord,:
“YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS US.”"
"You can. So:
REJOICE – AND AGAIN I SAY REJOICE.
Live by the joy of the Lord, never lose faith, hope, or love, and:
DON’T WORRY."
"Our Lord tells us that he will guide us with His eye, that He will give us the words we need, that He will meet our needs for food, clothing, and shelter, and so those mighty and reassuring words in Matthew 6:25-31, which you should read, and with this absolutely necessary admonition:
DON’T WORRY - REJOICE!"
"Our God is in control."

In this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable podcast, we look at the current 2024 election results.

So many of the governments, the ruling authorities in this temporal, human world, are controlled and run by dictators. There is no freedom, no individual rights or rule of law, and no constitutions which protect the people, the citizens of that country. No freedoms at all.
Those human beings, God created, have one burning priority, which totally dominates their lives. That is, the prayer, the hope, the wish for:
FREEDOM.
They want to live their lives, pursue their destiny, develop their talents, change without fear, and most importantly, worship as they please or not, and speak as they will without fear of retribution. That simply doesn’t happen, whether in Iran, Iraq, Gaza, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, China, Russia, North Korea, and so many of the African and Central American countries. THERE SIMPLY IS NO FREEDOM!
Not so in America. We The People have, and so often take for granted, what those poor human beings pray for every day. That is, freedom in every facet of our lives, and especially the freedom to:
VOTE.
We American citizens can elect those who would govern, those who would exercise the power of our constitutions, to govern, interpret, and rule. We can vote for anyone we wish; or perhaps tragically so, we are not required to vote at all if we so choose. Perhaps unfortunately, should we choose not to vote, we would still enjoy the freedoms, the lifestyle, the benefits, the protections, and the guarantees which our great and one-of-a-kind America still offers. We can choose not to vote when people the world over are ready to even give their lives if necessary for the rights to choose their governments and their leaders, whatever the cost. I for one think that to be the strongest kind of dereliction of civic duty. That precious right, privilege and opportunity was ours Tuesday, November 5. We had the privilege of electing 537 men and women, leaders who would govern, rule, and make decisions for our lives for the next 2, 4 or 6 years. Those leaders would choose the next Supreme Court justice, determine our military policies and investments, secure our borders or not, protect our incredible rights under the First Amendment of our Constitution, including the freedom to worship, the freedom of speech, press, assembly, and petition, and perhaps most importantly to millions of Americans, determine in moral terms, America’s position on abortion, the murder of the unborn, whether or not we would support Israel, how deep our American debt would be, our policies on taxation, and so much more. I wonder how any individual could watch those policies unfold knowing that he or she never voted. IT IS OUR AMERICA (WE THE PEOPLE) A PRECIOUS REPUBLIC, IF WE CAN KEEP IT! I wonder if we can.
Franklin Graham reminds us that the Bible clearly teaches that governments are ordained by God to restrain evil and enable righteousness to flourish (Romans 13:3-4). Graham believes that it was and is our Christian duty to pray and vote for candidates who best align with and stand for biblical principles. I hope and pray that you did just that.
The Apostle Paul admonishes us, we the Christian people, in I Thessalonians 5 that:
WE SHOULD TEST EVERYTHING; AND HOLD FAST TO WHAT IS GOOD.
I pray we elect leaders at any time who believe just that.
In recent years, the evangelical, the biblical church, has made concessions to the demands of this apparently anti-Christian culture, so much so that the power of the gospel in our society has been watered down, abused, ridiculed, and in so many ways rendered null and void. So many of the once fiery and faithful pulpits have fallen silent, refusing to speak out against the moral decay of this present time, fearing retribution or alienation. It is well past time for those in the pulpits to experience a full-boar revival and return our pulpits to the mission of the real gospel once again.
But, my fellow Americans and my fellow Christians, when the elections are over, when our leaders federal, state, and local have been chosen, it is time for us to put aside partisan differences and to pray for those in office as we are so admonished in scripture:
PRAY FOR EVERY ONE OF THEM!
But then comes the next phase of our civic responsibilities, and as such, we should never neglect our duties as citizens or relinquish our duty as those citizens to make certain that our leaders exercise Godly wisdom in public life. We can not withdraw from public life. The Godly wisdom of biblical Christians is needed now more than ever and it is our duty to make that happen.
But perhaps most importantly, never forget, my fellow Christians, the marvelous admonitions of our Lord in Matthew chapter 6 where we are admonished in verse 25:
THEREFORE, I SAY TO YOU, DDOO NNOOT TT WWOORRRRYY ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WHAT
YOU WILL EAT OR WHAT YOU WILL DRINK.
Or anything else for that matter, and especially the world of politics. We live under governments ordained by God, rulers he allows, and perhaps it is up to us, We The People who cherish the good, to do our very best to make certain that our leaders do what is good. As long as we do everything we can and should, we can rely upon the fact that the will of God, the will of our Lord, is at work, and his will shall be done. So then, whether or not we understand or agree with everything which happens in this world, we can know it is God ordained and we should:
PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!
