Southern Baptist pastor D. Michael Clary talks with Eric about his new book, Loser Theology: Why the Weak Will Not Inherit the Earth, and the passive, retreating faith he says has trained many Christians to lose.Clary explains why Jesus said the meek, not the weak, will inherit the earth, and why meekness means strength under control. He also covers what "turn the other cheek" does and doesn't mean (including whether a Christian may defend his home), the difference between real humility and a performance of humility, and why he says the biggest tell about a pastor is what he won't say.

Democrats flipped Texas blue with historic victories in governor and Senate races. Democrats pulled off twin upsets, with James Talarico defeating Attorney General Ken Paxton and Gina Hinojosa unseating Gov. Greg Abbott. The victories defied expectations in a state President Trump carried by double digits just two years earlier.

FOX's Eben Brown speaks to Josh Kraushaar, FOX News Radio political analyst and Editor-in-Chief of the Jewish Insider, who says while it was big shift for the state, he doesn't see Texas voting for a Democrat candidate for president.

On the morning after the Republican midterm wipeout, Erick Erickson pushes back on JD Vance's one-cause blame of the Iran war and asks when Pete Hegseth gets fired. He walks through the exit data on corruption, Trump's presidential library fundraising, the cruelty of the immigration process, tariffs and cost of living, and plays Ronald Reagan's 1974 choice, not an echo speech. His case: the GOP is recoverable if it returns to its principles and stops living on one man's whims.

• Midterm wipeout aftermath: why Erick says the Iran war was an accelerant, not the only cause, and why he asks when Pete Hegseth gets fired
• JD Vance, the Iran memorandum of understanding, and Erick's warning against telling voters their priors were all correct
• Corruption as the top voter issue: Trump presidential library foundation fundraising, Public Square, and the Donald Trump Jr. ties
• Immigration policy vs. process: why voters backed the policy but saw ICE tactics and the Vivek Ramaswamy ad on Amy Acton as cruel
• Conservative ballot wins (California billionaire wealth tax defeated), 1974 and Reagan's choice not an echo, and why the GOP can recover in two years

How can the GOP win back the trust of voters who gave it a historic rebuke? Glenn urges his audience to reject rage and revenge, as tempting as those feelings may be, and focus on rebuilding Americans' trust by living out core American principles and serving your neighbors. Glenn heads to the phones to gauge how Americans are feeling after such a decisive political loss. Glenn reacts to the terrifying responses by the radical Left after it retook the government, threatening ICE, lawsuits, jailing political opponents, and advocating for abortion and socialism. Glenn urges anyone who is concerned that America is about to go down a dark path to put God first in their families and lifestyles, which is the opposite of what Democrats are doing. Glenn reacts to conservative ballot measures that passed across the country, showing that many Americans still hold conservative policy beliefs. Glenn tries to make sense of Texans voting for James Talarico and how when you look at the voter turnout, the majority of voters appear to be nonreligious. Just a few days after Democrats swept the elections, multiple companies are reporting a significant market dive. What is happening?
