Dead Reckoning
DR Radio: Electionpalooza, Evangelicals, and the Electoral College
Welcome to Dead Reckoning Radio! In this episode we will be looking at the history making presidential election and the results no one saw coming. We’ll also be looking at whether there will be an evangelical “reckoning” over the votes cast in support of Donal Trump and on Hadley’s Expand Your Horizons we’ll look at why the Electoral College exists.

Show Notes
Welcome to Dead Reckoning Radio. We are Live on Facebook! I’m your host, Jay Friesen joined around this old door-turned-table table by Hadley Heath and Dr. Brian Mattson. DR Radio is where the three of us, mostly the two of them, intelligently discuss those critical cultural moments from a distinctly Christian perspective.
And we have another 5-star rated show for you today! In addition to our Quick Takes, games of wit, Disney Boticelli and Two Truths and a Lie, we’ll be diving into three main topics: Electionpalooza! No, you cannot get away from hearing our overall thoughts on the crazy. Our second segment will be focused discussion on and Evangelical’s response to all this. And after our second and final break, Hadley’s going to Expand Your Horizons with your primer on the electoral college.
During the breaks, we’ll hear from today’s sponsor, Alliance Defending Freedom: defending your right to freely live out your faith. Visit them at www.adflegal.org to find out the latest in defense of religious freedom, sanctity of life and marriage. And be sure to thank them for supporting us!

Let’s get started with some…
Quick Takes
* Chess Championship Update! Brian, what’s the news out of New York City, where there’s an East v. West clash for the 21st century going on?
* New Films! Lots of new stuff coming from Hollywood! Anybody interested in, say, Arrival, Hacksaw Ridge, Doctor Strange, Moana, Fantastic Beasts? And, hey, speaking of beasts, Disney’s new live-action Beauty & the Beast?
* Saturday Night Live Eulogizes the Election Saturday Night Live did a “cold” open that sort of eulogized Leonard Cohen (who died this week) by having “Hillary” sing “Hallelujah.” It was… weird. Their sketch with Dave Chappell and Chris Rock at an election night party was better. Did you guys see any of this?
Segment One: ElectionPalooza!
Whoa. Just… Whoa.
