Look 8 00:00:28,519 --> 00:00:31,440 who's sitting here, Zach Abraham, right here in the studio with me, 9 00:00:31,559 --> 00:00:34,320 right here in the free mountain, high Mountains of Free America. And we're 10 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:41,119 going to talk about very very bad racism versus very very good racism, because 11 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,600 I've learned there is very very bad racism and very very good racism according to 12 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,479 the theories of the left. We've got started with the help of Bonefrog Coffee 13 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,640 dot com, slash Todd and with the great grace of God Almighty, who 14 00:00:53,640 --> 00:01:00,200 brought our friend Zach here safely. The Todd Herman Show is one disapproved by 15 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:10,120 big pharma technocrats and tyrants everywhere. Now from the high Mountains of Free America. 16 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:23,680 Here's the Emerald City Exile God her Man. Today is a day the 17 00:01:23,719 --> 00:01:27,079 Lord has made in These are the times so which God has decided we shall 18 00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:34,599 live. What a super cool experience to have Zach Abraham in studio with us 19 00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:38,359 in the early days of going from a radio show to a podcast. And 20 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,519 we've told this story in detail, so I will just recognize it again. 21 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:49,120 Zach Abraham stepped in to bring us to a point where we couldn't have gotten 22 00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:53,879 without him because my former radio station refused to let us have access to you 23 00:01:55,239 --> 00:01:57,120 through something called the RSS feed. To this day, most people listen to 24 00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:00,560 us through audio. We're in all the audio podcast platforms. Our video service 25 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,640 is growing, thank god. Our YouTube presence is growing. That's YouTube dot 26 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,439 com slash. At the Todd Herman Show, Zach came in and wanted access 27 00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:13,599 to speak with you, and he did a deal with the radio station they 28 00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:15,919 wouldn't do with me. We got access to what's called the RSS feed. 29 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:21,520 Had that not occurred, I would probably be doing something along the lines of 30 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,879 welcome to Walmarts. Nothing wrong, that's that's that's hoddest work. Nothing wrong 31 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,960 with that, But brother, thank you, and it's God's money that built 32 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,879 the studio for us, but that that couldn't have happened without you making decision 33 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,000 that you wanted to be able to talk to this audience regularly. You know 34 00:02:37,039 --> 00:02:43,879 what's funny that that wasn't really the motivating factor in the beginning, the because 35 00:02:43,879 --> 00:02:46,560 we'd never done anything like this, and and and when you build, not 36 00:02:46,719 --> 00:02:49,719 as you build, you build a business, you build a certain way of 37 00:02:49,759 --> 00:02:53,520 doing things, and it's always intimidating to go a different route, you know, 38 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,439 or or to try something that you've never tried before. But when you 39 00:02:55,479 --> 00:03:00,680 told me the purpose and and and what the show was going to be focused 40 00:03:00,719 --> 00:03:02,400 on, and how you were going to inject God into it every single day, 41 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,719 I've just since my wife and I started down this path and when we 42 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,080 you know, I grew up a Christian, but really rededicated my life right 43 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,319 around twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, And you know, like you and I 44 00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:17,560 have had the conversation before, it wasn't like we were living in sin or 45 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,680 doing something. You know, we're still going to church and things like that, 46 00:03:20,719 --> 00:03:23,719 but it just wasn't It wasn't the it wasn't the first thought of my 47 00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:25,680 mind when I woke up in the morning. It wasn't the basis of my 48 00:03:25,719 --> 00:03:31,919 decisions. And you start going down this path and you start realizing that it 49 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,759 should look weird if you're doing it right right, it should look bizarre to 50 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,479 the outside world. And so I remember when you and I first had that 51 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,360 conversation. You sort of get used to that general nudging of God where you 52 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,599 go, I don't know why I'm doing this, but I know I'm supposed 53 00:03:46,639 --> 00:03:47,919 to. Yeah, you know what I mean. And so that's what that 54 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,520 was, and I what it's turned out to be the people that I've met 55 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,159 through doing this with you. It wasn't why we did it. It was 56 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,280 it just wasn't why we did it. And then the way it's been blessed, 57 00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:03,199 in the way it's prospered has been it's humbling it. It really is. 58 00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:08,520 Yeah, definitely that. And you've been blessed with a family and a 59 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:14,759 wife who I mean, you've called her your intellectual better She's correct me if 60 00:04:14,759 --> 00:04:16,480 I'm wrong, But chief operating officer at Bowler Capital Management, you're the chief 61 00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:20,720 investment officer, and you guys have been blessed with kids who the world calls 62 00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:25,639 bipops. We joke about that sometime and very good naturedly. You know where 63 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,279 my heart is and I know it is. But this topic of very very 64 00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:31,959 bad racism versus very very good racism, I didn't know it was going to 65 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,759 work this way, and when I was laying out the shows for the week 66 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:40,160 and doing the research. But it's fortuitous that you're here, and so I 67 00:04:40,199 --> 00:04:42,240 want to make sure that we take advantage of the fact that you can look 68 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:47,199 at this and through a very unique view a dad who is married to a 69 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,160 black woman and you have these beautiful kids. So we'll dig into this with 70 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,959 Zach. When Zach came in, and we may talk about this Monday too. 71 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,360 Just when that came in, he walked in and said the coolest thing. 72 00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:02,399 He goes, wow, oh, Zo, and he smelled it right 73 00:05:02,439 --> 00:05:05,040 away. This is what you will smell when you come into the studio. 74 00:05:05,519 --> 00:05:12,040 Because we have the oxy Pure two thunderstorm device and it's plugged into the wall. 75 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,839 It's not going to be here this weekend because this weekend I'm headed to 76 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,199 youth camp, so I'm going to have that with me because I'm going to 77 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:27,360 be quote sleeping, and the bedtime that in cabin is eleven am or eleven 78 00:05:27,399 --> 00:05:31,680 PM. Our staff meetings start at seven. Oh, there are going to 79 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:38,319 be ten junior high boys sleeping in the cabin with me sleeping. Quote. 80 00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:41,240 So, and you know I'm going to be getting up at four o'clock to 81 00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:44,879 work out at camp. You are, Oh, I can't slow down. 82 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,519 Wow, I can't, won't. I'm shocked. So I'm taking the oxy 83 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:53,480 Leaf to Thunderstorm device with me to plug into the wall next to my bed. 84 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,959 And it's not an air filter. Those things are a loud. You 85 00:05:55,959 --> 00:05:58,800 have to replace the filters every year for two to four inner bucks. So 86 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,560 basically rent the device. This thing you plug into the wall. It produces 87 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,120 ozone. The three molecules bond to the bad smelling molecules. They zap them. 88 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,879 They are gone. I will see if you two hundred dollars, you 89 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,839 get three of these devices for your junior high boys, or your cats or 90 00:06:12,879 --> 00:06:15,360 dogs, your cigarette smoking please stop smoking, or your musky cabin that you've 91 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,160 opened up a little late. Go to eatinpere deals dot com. Use code 92 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:24,360 toon three to get to a to save twutter box eatingpure deals dot com. 93 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,480 And that's uh two hundred dollars savings. That's that's insane. Well, if 94 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,319 a bonds to the bad smelling molecules, what's probably gonna happen is you're gonna 95 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,639 wake up to an empty Cabby. She's just gonna suck those eleven year olds 96 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,439 right out right. The parents are, where's our kids? Okay, funny 97 00:06:39,439 --> 00:06:43,879 story. Actually your kid, so that's really funny. Yeah, my son, 98 00:06:43,959 --> 00:06:46,560 my youngest is twelve. Man, I did, I'm having it. 99 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,000 We're working on that eight. You gotta go put on some deodor, a 100 00:06:48,079 --> 00:06:51,360 buddy, you know what, something about the adalyscient body. I get it, 101 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:56,399 it's the hormones and all that, but they actually don't value hygiening that 102 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,920 much. Nope, Nope, had had those conversations last can't find my toothbrush? 103 00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:08,240 Come on right, come on, use the carpets. Okay. This 104 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,560 is an example of what the world would call very very bad racism, and 105 00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:20,639 it's a marching of the Patriot Front group. Reclim America is racism. I 106 00:07:20,639 --> 00:07:25,600 don't know much about these groups because I think I see a Confederate flag, 107 00:07:28,439 --> 00:07:31,120 and I don't know a lot of concertives who walk around with their faces covered 108 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,480 and in the same outfits. And there's the Confederate flag again. Personally, 109 00:07:34,519 --> 00:07:38,800 I get. I understand people's view of the Confederate flag as the state's right 110 00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:43,879 thing. There's people who fly them in Idaho. I personally don't like it 111 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,759 because I connect it to slavery. That's me. I get to have my 112 00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:48,480 view. That's why I connect it. I understand the view that is a 113 00:07:48,519 --> 00:07:53,519 state rights thing. But that's an example of very, very bad racism, 114 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,879 even though all the racism is implied, I think by that flag and by 115 00:07:56,879 --> 00:07:59,759 the fact that they're all white. Man. You watch an interview with one 116 00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:01,720 of these guys, Cprently, Yeah, the founder of it, and first 117 00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:05,079 of all, he's like twenty four, twenty four, twenty five, and 118 00:08:05,439 --> 00:08:09,199 he's a racist, unequivocally. I'm just there. You go, yeah, 119 00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:13,319 he just is, So what did he say that was racist? He just 120 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:20,720 he just believes that the staple of being a successful you know, community or 121 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,519 a successful country or whatever, you know, however you want to call it 122 00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:28,560 or group it or whatever, but he believes that that it's only achievable if 123 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,879 you're of the same race. Okay, And it's just I mean that's counter 124 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,759 to political, but you know, it's you think about the Bible and the 125 00:08:35,759 --> 00:08:39,480 way that the Bible spoke about Uriah the Hittite right like in hit Tits were 126 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,919 supposed to get wiped off the face of the earth. Yet the Bible like 127 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,600 put him and like set him above David in terms of the way they discussed 128 00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:50,320 him, right, his morality, cyrus king Cyrus right, like my actually 129 00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:54,000 named my son after him. There were some other motivating factors in there, 130 00:08:54,159 --> 00:09:00,039 but but you know, he was one that God called beloved and he So 131 00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:03,320 the Bible's got tons of example. There's neither Greek nor Jew, a servant 132 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,440 nor master right in the body of Christ. The Lord Jesus wants to cease 133 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,320 this as as all of us is won. Okay, So I've not seen 134 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,279 that interview, and I'll tell you why because I haven't paid attention to the 135 00:09:13,279 --> 00:09:16,399 Patriot Front group. Because only the mockingbird media seems to care about the Patriot 136 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,919 Front group. They promote the Patriot Front Group. And I guess this kid 137 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,960 is he's he's succeeding and putting people into this group. Does it sound like 138 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,559 it's growing. Yeah, it does sound like it's growing. And naturally, 139 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,080 if you're on the right and you disagree with the mainstream media, we're all 140 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:31,639 you know, we're all part of that. We're all part of the Patriot 141 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,159 Front group. Oh okay, yeah, I mean wait yeah, because we're 142 00:09:35,159 --> 00:09:37,720 wait so wait oh that's on my America expressing. I keep saying this withdrawal. 143 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,200 Right, so racism inc. Okay, Oh oh see, I thought 144 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,320 that was my other racism group. No, no, no, yes, 145 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,720 you got it. But you got to get on that monthly installment plan. 146 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,519 We gotta keep doing it. Okay. So there's a discount if I if 147 00:09:50,519 --> 00:09:54,120 I purchased a year in advance. So that's racism. We got that. 148 00:09:54,799 --> 00:09:58,639 And I haven't seen the interview, but you're my brother and my friend, 149 00:09:58,639 --> 00:10:01,639 then I trust you. So that's very very bad racism. That that white 150 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,120 people sounds like a superiority complex and all that. Okay, got it. 151 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:11,000 Now what about this though? Is this very very bad racism? So this 152 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,840 is figurehead Biden, and I don't know you this. He grew up in 153 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:18,039 the black church yep, yep, yeah, naturally right and by the way, 154 00:10:18,039 --> 00:10:22,600 the Polish church, well, in the Irish church. Yeah, because 155 00:10:22,639 --> 00:10:28,679 there's tons of thriving, you know, gospel type black churches in uh yeah, 156 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,639 I just come on, I know. And it's the Hillary Clinton thing. 157 00:10:31,639 --> 00:10:35,279 I don't feel no ways tired. Do you remember that quote? I 158 00:10:35,279 --> 00:10:41,200 don't see no way tard. It's so insulting. Right, This is actually 159 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,759 when my wife and I started dating. She she grew up in a really 160 00:10:45,799 --> 00:10:48,879 a political house. Actually her father worked for the state, and so you 161 00:10:48,919 --> 00:10:52,799 know, her and I we had different political views. Put it that way. 162 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:58,480 Statements like that and me just not being hard because she's she's super smart. 163 00:10:58,519 --> 00:11:01,480 You're not gonna tell her things, you know, I mean, and 164 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,080 and statements like that are really what opened her eyes where all of a sudden 165 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,320 she goes this is so like, I'm uncomfortable. This is really insulting getting 166 00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:13,759 up like, how is that any different? That's the auditory version of blackface? 167 00:11:13,159 --> 00:11:16,679 How's it any different? And I tell you this, if you're if 168 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,679 you're new to the program and you've not heard this story before, it's it's 169 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,440 absolutely a great story. V Brandon Smith, good morning. Great to see 170 00:11:24,519 --> 00:11:26,759 Zac today. Love it. You can also make comments when to join the 171 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,960 chat. If you're a subscriber, you can do that video dot the Todd 172 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,840 Hermershaw dot com. So when I worked back, we talked about We've talked 173 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,320 about Kyl Rady before, in that building. I worked at KTTH. They 174 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,840 were trying to set me up to do a show with a guy who now 175 00:11:39,919 --> 00:11:43,919 is a very successful TV show. He is a beautiful man. His name 176 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,679 is Terry Holloman. Ye T T Halla, Yes, love it and T 177 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,279 T is so good. He's such a good father, a good man, 178 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,279 great husky football player, didn't quite make the NFL, wasn't quite big enough, 179 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,559 great running back in college. And so they were trying to set me 180 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,559 and Tea up to do a show together. And we had a lot of 181 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,480 fun together on the air, and he went and did other things, and 182 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,200 he worked with Marcus trafont and the barbershop and wonderful guy. My wife actually 183 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,440 went to a dance with Marcus traffont oh no see anyway, she was She 184 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,360 and Marcus went to school together. She was friends with them. So when 185 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,519 Terry would walk into the studio, because he wasn't there commonly, he would 186 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:22,039 come into the building and everybody be like, oh Terry, oh hi, 187 00:12:22,279 --> 00:12:26,639 it's so good to see you. Hey, everybody Terry's here, Oh hi, 188 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:31,600 te Haula, how are you hey? What's up? And he'd sit 189 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,879 down next to me. I could cross the desk and one day. He 190 00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:37,039 just gave me this look. I go, you get sick of that? 191 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,240 He goes, Oh my god, it's worse than racism. Yeah, he 192 00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:43,279 goes, I know that, you get that when you walk in here. 193 00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:46,600 I go, No, I mean I do, cause you're married to a 194 00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:50,320 black woman there. So this is the pandering we're talking about here. This 195 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,399 is the figurehead. He's in a black church. If you're not watching the 196 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,720 video service, I'll kind of do the play by play. So the figurehead's 197 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,639 on stage. They're wrapping up the service and it's time to give money. 198 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:09,320 So there's the black pastors and elders and deacons behind them. This is going 199 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,000 to be that is I think the pastor because he's got the black thing around 200 00:13:13,039 --> 00:13:18,480 his neck and he is handing the figurehead a hundred dollars bill. Now watch 201 00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:35,720 the figurehead's confusion. Come. I think he thinks it's work. He has 202 00:13:35,879 --> 00:13:45,919 no idea that there's a collection plates because he's Catholics. That yeah, yeah, 203 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,720 but he grew up the Black church. He said it time. No, 204 00:13:48,919 --> 00:13:52,480 exactly, the man has said time and again he grew up in the 205 00:13:52,519 --> 00:13:58,919 black church, the Black Catholic Church, the black church. Now he's standing 206 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:05,720 there with this utterly befuddled he looks like he's looking for a celphone. I 207 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:13,039 was told they'd be sniffing. So when when he is in that position, 208 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:18,039 can you pull the video Nana real quick of him just walking past the young 209 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,679 black woman. Can you pull that and get that in there? So when 210 00:14:22,799 --> 00:14:24,639 when you watch that, if you're a member of that black church, number 211 00:14:24,639 --> 00:14:28,639 one, I'm sitting there going wait, so he doesn't use his own money? 212 00:14:28,879 --> 00:14:33,720 Is he an equal opportunity sniffer? Or is that you? You you 213 00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:35,720 think I'm lying? Okay, okay, no, you because you hadn't seen 214 00:14:35,759 --> 00:14:39,840 that one put put yourself in that position of you guys are at church, 215 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,720 here's your black wife, your kids, who are the beautiful result of you 216 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:50,200 being one flesh, and you're sitting there and this old, decrepit, mentally 217 00:14:52,159 --> 00:15:00,639 deficient old man is there and you're watching this. Go on. No, 218 00:15:00,759 --> 00:15:07,000 it's it's it's really, it's a. It's a it's a I think it's 219 00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:09,240 a. I think it's a neat place to be. I think it offers 220 00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:16,519 me a really good perspective. But it also really highlights just how the condescension, 221 00:15:16,919 --> 00:15:20,039 right, It just it highlights that because you sit there and you're looking 222 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,200 at your children, you know, like here it go drives me nuts. 223 00:15:24,639 --> 00:15:26,759 So this is and now it's going to pull this up in a second. 224 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,960 I'm sorry I interrupted you. It drives you us because it's pandering, is 225 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,720 condescending, and and Mike like, I don't want my children like the whole 226 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,360 it's really funny. Uh. We were just with a group of friends where 227 00:15:41,399 --> 00:15:43,600 we came before, came before here, right, So so we were over 228 00:15:43,639 --> 00:15:48,120 in eastern Washington with all my college buddies, and we used to do this 229 00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:52,159 college all we'd all get together and do this golf tournament. Right. Well, 230 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,840 after a while we'd sit there and go, you know, why are 231 00:15:54,879 --> 00:15:56,799 we leaving the kids, and why it's behind so and then it became like 232 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,799 a family deal, right. And so my my daughter her friend along and 233 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,720 her her friend happens to be half Filipino and half black, and listening to 234 00:16:04,799 --> 00:16:08,320 them, they made several people uncomfortable because they give each other racial jokes all 235 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,960 the time. They're joking. No, yeah, and my wife and I 236 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,799 if you think about it, like that's the absence of racism. What do 237 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,559 kids do? They tease each other, they're friends, right, Like when 238 00:16:21,639 --> 00:16:25,440 we can have those conversations, and they can. You know, I'm not 239 00:16:25,519 --> 00:16:26,960 saying that like white kids should be going down the street, but I think 240 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,120 everybody knows what I'm saying. Kids are gonna do what kids are gonna do. 241 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,759 And quite honestly, if you live in a post racial world, and 242 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,600 this might offend some people, but if you live in a post racial world, 243 00:16:34,799 --> 00:16:37,720 one of the hallmarks of that post racial world is that you'll see all 244 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,679 these little kids together of all different races, given each other, ribbing about 245 00:16:41,679 --> 00:16:45,600 it, joking Joe. Why, because that's what kids do. And what 246 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,759 it means is that there's no separation right where all kids and and we're gonna 247 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,320 joke about the fact that your hair stands up higher than mine and you're skinnier 248 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,879 than I am. We're gonna tell these jokes, right, That's that's the 249 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,919 end. So when I see this kind of stuff and that kind of pandering 250 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,119 and that kind of singling kids out and playing a role or or if I'm 251 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,960 authentically black, it means I don't don't speak you know, the I don't 252 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,960 speak with the King's English if you will, or whatever. Right, those 253 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,599 those stereotypes where to connect to black people. I have to get up here 254 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,519 and quote unquote talk like one right, right, right? What do they 255 00:17:19,559 --> 00:17:22,400 talk like? Right? My wife doesn't talk like what do they talk like. 256 00:17:23,039 --> 00:17:26,799 I've seen people come to the high mountains of North America in North Idaho 257 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:33,720 and and code shift a little. And I've seen people say some I've watched 258 00:17:33,759 --> 00:17:37,839 people who are from the city come in and say something like, well, 259 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,799 you know, like you folks, you folks sure know how to throw a 260 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:49,519 shin dig what that's a Southern thing. We're not. We're not from the 261 00:17:49,559 --> 00:17:52,240 South. We don't we don't say folks here. Yeah, right right, 262 00:17:52,559 --> 00:17:57,599 yeah, it's but it's not anything near racial pandering. You got to see 263 00:17:57,599 --> 00:18:00,640 this. And again I'll do a play by play. Most people listening on 264 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,799 audio, and you can try the video service for free seven day free trial. 265 00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:06,240 It's video dot the Todd Herman Show dot com. And we'll do this 266 00:18:06,319 --> 00:18:08,680 in just a second. So here, this is the this is the video. 267 00:18:08,759 --> 00:18:14,759 What this is a setting we talked about this week earlier. The figurehead 268 00:18:14,759 --> 00:18:18,920 has given a speech he's read from a teleprompter. There are people excited to 269 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,559 meet him. I want you to focus on the lovely young black woman here 270 00:18:22,079 --> 00:18:30,279 in this in this video. Get a selfie with the white dude. Good 271 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:41,480 selfie skips over somebody. Look at her face. Look at that young woman's 272 00:18:41,519 --> 00:18:48,960 face. Watch watch now she's gonna try to get us attention. Do you 273 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,960 see me? She's look at her beautiful smile. Watch watch her hands a 274 00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:02,599 second hair, So he sees the white hispanic and she's in tears. Okay, 275 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,000 white woman, you just keep keep your eye of that. She's got 276 00:19:07,039 --> 00:19:12,279 a low bar for heroes. Man, Right, he did some and he 277 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:17,359 sniffed. You could tell, oh, we're not going to get the part 278 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,079 where she reaches for his arm. Was she already reached for his arm? 279 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:27,119 So now your honest emotional reaction as that man does not see that young black 280 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,400 woman. Well, okay, first of all, the fact that she's like 281 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,440 the youngest person there too, right, Like naturally you'd think you'd go that 282 00:19:34,559 --> 00:19:41,079 way, right, you just you'd say, yeah, I here's the other 283 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,839 frustrating part. But but honestly, her facial expression, Yeah, no, 284 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,039 I mean she was crushed. Yeah, she looked just completely passed over. 285 00:19:48,519 --> 00:19:51,599 I mean she just did. I mean, it's it's I haven't seen that 286 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,680 clip before, but objectively, that was uncomfortable. It was uncomfortable, and 287 00:19:55,839 --> 00:19:59,200 and and had Trump, had that happened in a Trump rally, that'd be 288 00:19:59,319 --> 00:20:02,599 that'd be that leading news for everybody. You know what I mean. Oh, 289 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,160 look at this right, evidence of his racism. Right yeah, right 290 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,240 now, this is going to make other people uncomfortable. I use Revolver dot 291 00:20:11,319 --> 00:20:15,000 News. I think it's a very good news site. I think Darren Beattie's 292 00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:19,440 a genius investigative reporter. I think he's a great mind. I believe that 293 00:20:19,599 --> 00:20:26,640 he tends to fall into the habit of the blacks. Now I don't. 294 00:20:26,759 --> 00:20:30,480 I'm not accusing me of racism at all, because that, to me, 295 00:20:30,079 --> 00:20:33,960 that's a serious claim. You don't toss that around. I'm not saying that. 296 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:41,480 I'm saying that this headline this bothered me. Okay, here's the headline. 297 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,640 It's time to have a discussion about how black people are destroying carnival cruise 298 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:51,240 line. I read that, and ay, I get it. Their job 299 00:20:51,319 --> 00:20:53,559 is to get clicks. Our job is to get clicks. So the head 300 00:20:53,599 --> 00:20:57,079 of the title of this episode that people will see is very very bad racism 301 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,559 versus very very good racism. Now, I think that's what we're talking about. 302 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,200 Because the party says, Hey, it's a good thing to be racist 303 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,839 against whites, it's a bad thing to be racist against blacks. That's the 304 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,519 whole genesis of very very good racism versus very very bad racism. Very very 305 00:21:11,559 --> 00:21:15,759 good racism. That Joe Biden goes in panters to a black audience, after 306 00:21:15,799 --> 00:21:18,599 all, that's outreach, you bet. So. Here are some of the 307 00:21:18,759 --> 00:21:23,319 videos they present, and I have my view on how this headline should have 308 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:29,960 been written from a perspective of our Lord Jesus. Okay, so let's watch 309 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,359 some of these. And this is what he's basing it off. Hardly the 310 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:37,480 images you would expect from a ten day cruise around the South Pacific, but 311 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,759 it's what passengers saw board the Carnival legend, a series of violent brawls and 312 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:47,839 it just took into the last died. That's one sort that is the good 313 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:52,599 Morning America piece. There's this next one here from the Carnival cruise line. 314 00:22:02,319 --> 00:22:06,319 So they have been marketing to young black people and they've been getting scenes like 315 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:22,799 this fight and this stuff that some of these have lasted all night, Zach, 316 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:34,440 like this one next one up here. It's not just the cruise lines. 317 00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:49,480 This guy makes a case, it's also happening at Spirit Airlines. And 318 00:22:49,599 --> 00:22:53,720 that's some that I mean, it's wild. Yeah. So the headline again, 319 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,960 it's time to have a discussion about how black people are restoring carnival clues 320 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,880 lines. Very very good racism, very very bad racism in it, I 321 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:06,039 mean, accidental racism. Honestly, how do you view it? Well, 322 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,160 I mean, first of all, I think we have to add some context 323 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:15,400 here. Okay, if you mark it toward young people, period, and 324 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:21,599 part of the deal is free booze, unlimited boos. I don't care what 325 00:23:21,759 --> 00:23:23,400 color they are. You're going to see that, right. And you know, 326 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,759 as a guy that went through college, played football in college, lived 327 00:23:26,759 --> 00:23:30,400 with ten football players in the house. None of us were black, But 328 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,160 I mean we didn't get that crazy. But I mean, you know that's 329 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,319 gonna happen like that's spring break. I mean, go down to Florida right 330 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,079 during spring break, Panama Beach. Yes, you're going to see this everywhere, 331 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,559 right, I mean, and this is the this is the whole part. 332 00:23:45,839 --> 00:23:49,079 And this is why I think talking about race and having good racism and 333 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:55,200 bad racism is so regressive, right because it has nothing to do with the 334 00:23:55,319 --> 00:23:59,599 race. Just it just doesn't like, are there are there cultural things that 335 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,240 might let this or something like that. Yes, but it has nothing to 336 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:03,839 do with the color of their skin, I believe it or not. My 337 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,920 wife's never been in a big brawl. Really. Yeah, it's shocking. 338 00:24:08,079 --> 00:24:11,400 We could, Yeah if she wanted to. And she grew up in a 339 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,720 black neighborhood too, she wasn't. Your wife is not a weak woman. 340 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,880 No, your wife is a strong physically strong. So if you because we 341 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,039 do a thing here where we get a wive's and fight like chickens, yeah, 342 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,119 of course, right, yes, yes, it's High Mountains of Free 343 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:26,839 America. Right. Well, yeah, and this happens around dinner time too, 344 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,720 my wife, my three kids getting a brawl. I don't right, 345 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,119 as you're white, we have but red naturally, right, So I look 346 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:38,680 at this same way alcohol, same thing came to minds of spring break, 347 00:24:40,319 --> 00:24:42,680 and then I also think about the things I've done where I had too much 348 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:47,960 alcohol and I don't drink and I have not had a sip of alcohol. 349 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,640 And I'm thinking to hold my daughter as it was just before we left for 350 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,279 the High Mountains of Free America. It's eighteen years wow, since and it's 351 00:24:56,319 --> 00:25:00,880 not like I praise got it. I never became an alcoholic, but I 352 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,640 grew up in alcohol ville in this part of the country. When I was 353 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,759 a kid, I got my first drunk on when I was in sixth grade. 354 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,279 We split a case of beer at my friend Eric's house, a case 355 00:25:11,759 --> 00:25:15,960 of six on our own, hammered, hammered. We took beer to school 356 00:25:17,039 --> 00:25:19,759 in sixth grade with our with our bell bottomed pants and our our tube sox. 357 00:25:19,799 --> 00:25:25,000 We put three beers each and we went out to the so that was 358 00:25:25,039 --> 00:25:27,680 two six packs. We went out to the corner of the of the playground 359 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:33,599 and drank body temperature beer on like an eighty degree day. Ah it was, 360 00:25:33,039 --> 00:25:37,079 and of course none of us could say it was gross because beer. 361 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,759 I remember this, and this is to my point about this is when I 362 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,359 was an honorary member of a frat, which was a truly disgusting place, 363 00:25:45,559 --> 00:25:52,559 disgusting, horrible. What they did to girls unspeakable, truly truly unspeakable. 364 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:57,839 One night we had Kamikazi night. They put up a whiteboard and we had 365 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:02,039 a contest who drank the most kama kazis in the least amount of time. 366 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,799 And this guy, I kind of knew we played football against each other. 367 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,000 His name was Eric. I won't say his last name. We drank. 368 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:15,920 I drank twenty nine kamakazis isn't an hour and a half, and Eric drank 369 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,440 something similar. And I remember when he and I decided it would be a 370 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,960 good idea to wrestle. And this is what I just got done playing my 371 00:26:23,079 --> 00:26:30,559 little one year of small college football. And he similarly was big, and 372 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,119 we destroyed a hallway. I was gonna say, it's like that's a Godzillan 373 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,599 king kongoing at it. We destroyed this hallway, yep. And then one 374 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,480 of the brothers who happened to be black, his name was Lee. He 375 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,680 came to try to stop this, and to my eternal shame, I put 376 00:26:45,759 --> 00:26:48,680 my hand on his forehead and shoved his head through a locker like and broke 377 00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:55,799 broke part of the metal locker. And what I remember next was being in 378 00:26:55,880 --> 00:27:00,480 an emergency room. This was after we went to another fraternity. Yo. 379 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:06,000 Yeah, we decided, hey, what we should do is climb their water 380 00:27:06,599 --> 00:27:08,720 pipe and go into their frat because they have a closed door dance with a 381 00:27:08,799 --> 00:27:11,799 sorority because no one will notice us. It sounds like a great idea, 382 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:17,359 right, So we got beat up. Someone called the emergency and I remember 383 00:27:17,519 --> 00:27:22,359 waking up and they were putting charcoal down my throat and I had to go 384 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,440 back into the frat and quote sleep it off. And I've never been more 385 00:27:26,519 --> 00:27:32,559 sick. That was the last time. Now, the one black person in 386 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:37,240 that was the one human being Lee. And Lee came and said and I 387 00:27:37,519 --> 00:27:41,440 remember him saying, you're breaking things, man, You're going to hurt each 388 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,079 other. And my response is to shove his head through a locker. Yeah. 389 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,000 So none of that was racism. There are people who are racists, 390 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:55,079 but I want to transition this into government sponsored, very very good racism in 391 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:56,960 a second, because this is important. Obviously. I'm here with my friend 392 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,839 brother Zach Abraham, chief Investment offs for Board Capital Management, and Zach, 393 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:06,880 you've been doing more. I've never seen this before, the velocity of your 394 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:14,119 free live workshops talking about inflation as a silent assassin of retirement portfolios. And 395 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,119 I've been noticing that these things are selling out. I mean, are people 396 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,079 catching on to how bad inflation is for their retirement? Yeah? I think 397 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,880 so. And one of the one of the most pernicious parts of it is 398 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,319 the most successful form of investing really through this whole cycle over the last fifteen 399 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,200 years, has just been to just jump into the index funds, what we 400 00:28:33,279 --> 00:28:36,440 call it, just ride the market. Right, So yes, S and 401 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:41,000 P five hundred slowed up, and it's gained in popularity because it's worked, 402 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:48,599 and it's created a feedback loop where we're going to explain what that feedback loop 403 00:28:48,759 --> 00:28:52,759 is. But here you have people in these portfolios that think that they're diversified 404 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:59,839 and that they think they're safe. Right, those general portfolios just by way 405 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,640 of market composition right now, meaning the stocks at the top of the market 406 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:08,240 have become so large, right, and so overvalued in a lot of different 407 00:29:08,319 --> 00:29:14,839 fundamental ways you look at them, that the average portfolio is less diversified than 408 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,720 it has ever been, and the thing it owns the least of are things 409 00:29:18,799 --> 00:29:22,839 that historically do well during inflationary periods. So it really isn't you know, 410 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,680 it's not us having you know, we had to go through a whole compliance 411 00:29:26,759 --> 00:29:30,839 thing with this. It's not us saying hey, we've got the silver bullet. 412 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,880 We're just sitting there saying, hey, guys, you're in a portfolio 413 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,000 that is least diversified than it has ever been. It has the least amount 414 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:44,160 of stuff that it traditionally does well in an inflationary environment. And you need 415 00:29:44,279 --> 00:29:47,359 to get more to a balanced position because right now you're not. The average 416 00:29:47,359 --> 00:29:51,279 portfolio is betting on seven stocks. That's it. Those If those seven stocks 417 00:29:51,359 --> 00:29:52,519 go up, you're gonna be fine. If they go down, you won't. 418 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,400 I mean, it really is that simple. So just trying to explain 419 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,240 it because you know, it's, oh, it's different this time. It's 420 00:29:59,319 --> 00:30:02,960 never to it is a little bit because it is different this time because we've 421 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,400 never seen the mark. You know, right now, you look at you 422 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,079 we here two in the math on this. The other day you look at 423 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,039 like four companies at the top. So you go, like in Nvidia, 424 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,880 Microsoft, you know, Amazon, a couple of those. You add those 425 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,680 just like four companies together and they equal forty percent of the entire size of 426 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,720 the United States economy. Wow. Right, So it's it's wild. And 427 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,039 what people need to understand is, look, it's not my opinion. I 428 00:30:27,079 --> 00:30:30,400 can just show you empirically, here's what the market has looked like over the 429 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,160 last hundred years. Here's what it looks like today. You know, point 430 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,960 the odd man out and it's just so yeah, just trying to get the 431 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,400 word out there and let people know. And you know, like we always 432 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:42,240 say, two people are like, why are you giving you know what? 433 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:47,559 Why would you just tell people this? And I'm my point of view is 434 00:30:47,559 --> 00:30:48,759 always, you know, do the right thing. The business side of it 435 00:30:48,799 --> 00:30:52,079 will take care of itself. So there are people that get on there that 436 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,720 have no intention of becoming clients, just a lot of the stuff we give 437 00:30:55,759 --> 00:30:57,839 and they can go, they can go put it to work themselves. Right. 438 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,559 I'm not one of those guys. It makes my eyes bleed, No, 439 00:31:02,799 --> 00:31:06,119 it does. This just not the way my brin works. It's not 440 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:07,559 how God built me. He built you that way. That's why we work 441 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,720 with you.

They had to add that one. This that's really important 450 00:31:37,319 --> 00:31:40,799 that people know trek twenty four two four four Yep. I felt dirty that 451 00:31:40,839 --> 00:31:44,640 we've not said it. So yeah, I'm glad it's being out. This 452 00:31:44,839 --> 00:31:52,279 is from a great Twitter guy who runs a he follows Dei's name is John 453 00:31:52,359 --> 00:31:55,039 Sailor. There's a thread app on this, you guys grease in the show 454 00:31:55,079 --> 00:31:57,720 notes scoop, the National Institute of Health is giving two hundred and fifty million 455 00:31:57,759 --> 00:32:02,759 dollars to university to hire medical scientists who show quote an interest in Dei. 456 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,200 The NIH says the program doesn't discriminate against any group. Public records tell a 457 00:32:07,359 --> 00:32:14,519 different story, and they he polled as an investigative reporter. Some of the 458 00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:20,240 communications with these organizations such as this hijane. Yes, good luck for me. 459 00:32:20,319 --> 00:32:22,960 As long as we're diversifying an apartment and go with what we wrote in 460 00:32:22,039 --> 00:32:25,039 the proposal, I am happy. I don't want to hire white men, 461 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,599 for sure. We did a very good job on the grants with the tables 462 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,240 and numbers, that's what we should follow in my opinion. Thanks, so 463 00:32:32,559 --> 00:32:37,279 she shows mathematically, here's how we're going to not make it racism, but 464 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,480 make sure we ain't hire no whites. But okay, that's what I mean 465 00:32:40,559 --> 00:32:45,440 by very very good racism. Someone at the NIH said, hey, let's 466 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:50,160 employ very very good racism. So if you're looking at this again from your 467 00:32:50,359 --> 00:32:53,039 unique perspective, and there's these and we'll get to some of the things other 468 00:32:53,039 --> 00:32:57,400 people doing, like Vanderveilt University. But if you're looking at things like this 469 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,240 and you're thinking of your kids and your if your kid got a scholarship and 470 00:33:02,519 --> 00:33:05,680 went to school and someone took him asad and said, hey, by the 471 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,559 way, you got that because you're half black, Right, your your response 472 00:33:07,599 --> 00:33:12,720 to be, what, Oh, I'd be irate, I'd be I right, 473 00:33:12,799 --> 00:33:15,440 and and and I'll back it up further. When my wife was applying 474 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,880 to get into college, she refused to fill out the racial information. God 475 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,640 bless her, Yeah, because she just said, I I was a salutatory 476 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,000 in my class. I don't need to get a token, you know, 477 00:33:23,839 --> 00:33:27,680 like, let let my let my accomplishment stand on their own, right, 478 00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,440 I don't I don't want your form. And this was my Like I said, 479 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,240 my wife grew up in the inner city, single working mom, below 480 00:33:34,279 --> 00:33:37,559 the poverty line. Like so this isn't you know, she wasn't like my 481 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,000 kids. My kids grew up in a country club for crying out loud. 482 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:43,519 Yeah right, but no, And this is the soft racism behind it, 483 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,160 Like that's the only way you're going to get ahead because you're inferior and you 484 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:52,160 need white people's help, you need a handout. That is the to me, 485 00:33:52,759 --> 00:33:57,839 what hurts my heart about what the left has done and the Party's done 486 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,880 to Black people. It's that. Yep, you talk to a vibrant, 487 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:05,559 young soul who may not be an academic. Not everybody is. I'll just 488 00:34:05,599 --> 00:34:07,599 said the day on my AFR radio show. It's talking again about how much 489 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:14,639 massive respect I have for people who can build things, Like who can build 490 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,760 or fix things? My brain doesn't work that way. So I look at 491 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:21,960 that and I'm in awe me too, And so you could be someone who 492 00:34:22,079 --> 00:34:23,840 that's what you should do. This is how God gifted you. But that 493 00:34:24,079 --> 00:34:29,440 message to a vibrant young thirteen to fifteen year old black young woman or young 494 00:34:29,559 --> 00:34:32,719 man kid, you can't make it without Nancy Pelosi and you look at that, 495 00:34:34,039 --> 00:34:37,320 or you can't make it without Joe Biden. Is that's your savior? 496 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,440 This buffoon on stage, he doesn't know there's such a thing as a collection 497 00:34:39,559 --> 00:34:43,960 plate, but but he grew up in the black church. Yeah, that 498 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,840 how utterly demoralizing that has to be for black people. No, look, 499 00:34:50,519 --> 00:34:52,639 you know it could get me again. It could get me to the point 500 00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:55,119 where I could say some things that I shouldn't say. Okay, well don't 501 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:59,239 I won't. But no, it takes me off, and it really takes 502 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:04,960 me off. It takes me off in general again, having kids that are 503 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:09,559 of mixed race, my wife, you know, her family members. It's 504 00:35:09,599 --> 00:35:13,280 just it's it's infuriating because I sit there and I'm like, you know what, 505 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,480 why don't we do this? Why don't we have an IQ test? 506 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:20,280 Why do we have an aptitude test? Because why the Florida Johnny tone? 507 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,519 Why don't we have a spelling contest that's more your speed? Right? And 508 00:35:23,639 --> 00:35:28,599 it's just that soft racism of of you need my help. Well, we're 509 00:35:28,599 --> 00:35:30,880 going to lower math standards because it's not fair for you know, go tell 510 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:35,440 that to Frederick Douglas. Tell it to Obama, tell it to Clarence Thomas. 511 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:40,840 I mean, example after example after example, It just and and I 512 00:35:42,039 --> 00:35:45,840 think the good news is is that more and more black people and more and 513 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,639 more minorities period are picking up on it. Oh well, look at the 514 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:52,639 increased support for President Trump. But twenty two percent, it's tripled. You 515 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:53,880 mentioned Frederick Douglass. I just have to tell a story real quick, because 516 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,320 I don't know if you've had a chance to this. If you're taking your 517 00:35:55,360 --> 00:36:00,639 kids to the Smithsonian Institute. Uh no, my wife just with my daughter, 518 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:05,199 okay, but I haven't taken the other kids. So we went to 519 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,760 my daughter and I many times because we lived in DC for a little while, 520 00:36:07,039 --> 00:36:10,800 to the Smithsonian Institute. And one time we were walking through and came 521 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:15,800 up to this display and it was just a desk. It's just this wood 522 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:17,920 desk and there wasn't any plaque, there was nothing, and I thought, 523 00:36:19,039 --> 00:36:21,559 gosh, whose desk is that? And what are they setting up? And 524 00:36:21,639 --> 00:36:23,440 then one of the employees came out. I said, hey, sir, 525 00:36:23,519 --> 00:36:28,360 I'm sorry to bother you may ask whose desk this is? He says, 526 00:36:28,559 --> 00:36:32,159 yes, this is Frederick Rugis's desk. And I get ti your eye. 527 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:36,360 Yeah, I stood there and I went, this is what he wrote on 528 00:36:37,639 --> 00:36:42,000 just a giant and I'm standing there and my daughter says, what, so 529 00:36:42,119 --> 00:36:45,239 remember the book I've read to you. These hands are not my own, 530 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:51,079 for I stole them from another man. Yeah, this is desk. And 531 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,239 we just stood there for a moment, and somehow it made it more special 532 00:36:54,639 --> 00:36:58,880 that there wasn't yet the plaque. And later they set up that this is 533 00:36:59,039 --> 00:37:02,639 how his office looked, but somehow just his desk, and I so wanted 534 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:07,639 to touch it because I'm that sort of person that I can lay hands on 535 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:12,760 something like that. Right, it becomes more real. And I don't like 536 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,960 I actually don't take a lot of photos of even special times. But I'm 537 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:20,920 a keepsake guy a little bit, ye, right, So I hope your 538 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,320 kids get to see that one day. Nearly half of Americans think DEI is 539 00:37:24,519 --> 00:37:30,079 causing discrimination. Most Americans think diversity, equity and inclusion programs are making companies 540 00:37:30,159 --> 00:37:35,599 better, and many suspect DEI is being used to justify discrimination against white males. 541 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,480 The latest Rasmists and Report National Telephone Online Survey finds that only twenty nine 542 00:37:39,559 --> 00:37:45,480 percent of American adults believe diversity equity inclusion programs are making companies better. Slightly 543 00:37:45,559 --> 00:37:47,119 up from twenty five percent in March. Well, thirty eight percent now think 544 00:37:47,199 --> 00:37:52,519 DEI is making companies worse, twenty two percent say DEI programs don't make much 545 00:37:52,559 --> 00:37:57,320 difference, and twelve percent are not sure. Do you remember a time in 546 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,519 America where you could make the argument and be intellectually honest that look, no 547 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:07,519 company wants worse talent. All companies are going to compete for the highest talent. 548 00:38:07,159 --> 00:38:12,519 That was true, right, That was the capital human capital market, 549 00:38:13,519 --> 00:38:17,880 just like everything else leftists and authoritarians do. They could not let that market 550 00:38:19,039 --> 00:38:22,480 rule, except for basketball, because then that's very very good racism because only 551 00:38:22,519 --> 00:38:27,800 black people can play, oh naturally. Right, So this is economically speaking, 552 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,079 putting on your chief investment officer had This is just another rigging about economy. 553 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:36,440 It is, and it ties back to, in my opinion, it 554 00:38:36,519 --> 00:38:40,119 ties back to some real issues that you've got in this economy. And I 555 00:38:40,159 --> 00:38:45,639 think they're big issues, and I think they're constitutional issues. And in my 556 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,960 opinion, this is all about look over here, while you're not paying attention 557 00:38:50,039 --> 00:38:54,280 to what's going on over here, right, let's ask the question about why 558 00:38:54,480 --> 00:39:00,519 some of these companies are all too willing to make uneconomic decisions. Yep, 559 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:06,559 Why are they because they know that they are not exposed to the cost. 560 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,199 Why do I say that, because the anti trust rules haven't been enforced. 561 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:14,599 So many of these companies are so big, they are in bed with government, 562 00:39:15,159 --> 00:39:19,400 and it is you've got the greatest level of economic inequality in the history 563 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,000 of this country. Right, And they're throwing you cookies. Right, They're 564 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:28,400 they're not doing the job that our constitution was supposed to do. If we 565 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,199 don't have a free mark for all intents and purposes, we do not have 566 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:35,960 a free economy. Right. And so addressing this, like everything else, 567 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:40,960 we're we're symptom treating, and and we're and we're we're we're pacifying, and 568 00:39:42,079 --> 00:39:45,599 we're condescending to cover up the real sin, right, the real sin, 569 00:39:45,679 --> 00:39:49,679 which is we're not doing our jobs. Uh, you've got to. You've 570 00:39:49,679 --> 00:39:52,840 got to. You've got the federal government picking winners and losers. You've got 571 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:58,480 central banks subsidizing criminal activity via the banks. Which is why I was teasing 572 00:39:58,519 --> 00:40:00,480 that that discussion with HS be c with you, which is a that that's 573 00:40:00,519 --> 00:40:05,199 a lengthy conversation as well. But that that, to me is the real 574 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,679 crime, is that the underlying issues aren't being dealt with, and they're it's 575 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:12,360 insulting. They're throwing you a cookie. You need it. You. If 576 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,119 we don't do this, you're not gonna be able to work, You're not 577 00:40:14,159 --> 00:40:16,840 gonna be able to live, and it just it's just so disingenuous, and 578 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:21,079 I just I love the fact that there's that people are catching on. I 579 00:40:21,159 --> 00:40:22,360 love the fact that people are going wait a second, right, wait, 580 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,400 wait, wait, Like, for instance, you know, if if, 581 00:40:25,559 --> 00:40:30,800 if, why not go to a historically black college as opposed to getting pandered 582 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,400 to by some call, Oh, we're gonna let you in because you're black. 583 00:40:34,599 --> 00:40:37,599 I don't need to be letting because I'm black. Right, Let me 584 00:40:37,679 --> 00:40:39,599 stand on my merits, like my wife said, but judge me by my 585 00:40:39,679 --> 00:40:43,079 record. I think it's pretty good. Yeah, you know, when you 586 00:40:43,559 --> 00:40:45,960 people have these different views on this, and I was just thinking about this, 587 00:40:46,159 --> 00:40:51,719 this this example that so because you've been to my gym, the crustfit 588 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:58,960 gym, and I have a female coach, and from time to time she'll 589 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,719 give me this look where she's racking weights for me, Like between a set 590 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,800 and oh no, no, let me get that. She gives me sook, 591 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:09,519 like I'm your coach. I'm probably stronger than you. I could throw 592 00:41:09,599 --> 00:41:15,400 some iron around. Let me do my job. And I am of the 593 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:20,159 generation of men do that. And it's taking me a while to learn that 594 00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:28,000 women that age who are not man haters, they like politeness. They in 595 00:41:28,079 --> 00:41:31,880 that gym. We have a very polite culture. It's a it's a community 596 00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:37,480 culture, but that can come across as pandering, like, hey, you 597 00:41:37,559 --> 00:41:40,679 know, Bud, I can lift weights on my own and I can rack 598 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:45,920 a weight for you. Yeah. I mean, as a guy that's gone 599 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,039 and worked out in that gym, I might make them. I may make 600 00:41:49,119 --> 00:41:52,840 those similar offers, but it's more just to steer clearity because I don't want 601 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:54,320 them turning on it. Like no. I remember I came home and I 602 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,280 told my wife. I was like, and she kind of gave me a 603 00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,840 weird look. I was like, honey, I wasn't checking the women out. 604 00:42:00,199 --> 00:42:04,280 What I was telling you is that these women were throwing weight around right 605 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,000 and I played college football right like, and I was just man, I 606 00:42:07,119 --> 00:42:09,480 was just blown away. I just blown away some incredible athletes for yeah, 607 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,440 and it's a blessing to be able to train run them and the male athletes, 608 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,199 et cetera. But it's just this, it's this view. We're gonna 609 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,679 be gammed this with a bit of Biden, and I want to wrap it 610 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:22,159 up with a bit of Biden and then a question. This is from the 611 00:42:22,599 --> 00:42:25,880 live discussion that's going on. Jummen writes, My question might be for tomorrow's 612 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:31,800 show, Nelson Nash's infinite banking concept scam or plan thoughts. So that does 613 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,480 sound like a thing for tomorrow show because it's financially we can work in the 614 00:42:35,599 --> 00:42:38,079 HSBC conversation if that's okay. Yeah, just teasing that, all right. 615 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:45,000 When we talk about free markets, there is this crazy place called Mexico, 616 00:42:45,039 --> 00:42:50,440 and you can have all sorts of neat things about Mexico. There's parts of 617 00:42:50,559 --> 00:42:54,199 Mexico where I wouldn't be paid to go, like northern Mexico because it's a 618 00:42:54,679 --> 00:42:59,199 bad place right now. I wouldn't do that now. In Southern Mexico, 619 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,639 for instance, part of it is a relatively safe place. In fact, 620 00:43:01,639 --> 00:43:07,639 it's very safe. There are seven separate police forces patrolling it. One of 621 00:43:07,639 --> 00:43:13,360 those police forces exists only to protect tourists and the cartel that runs that place. 622 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,239 So Jlisco cartel has put out word you mess with tourists, you are 623 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:21,719 messing with us, and this is so weird. They've also said no fentanyl, 624 00:43:22,039 --> 00:43:27,519 and they have a more reasonable drug policy than the separate countries of Washington, 625 00:43:27,559 --> 00:43:30,079 Oregon, and Idaho. That's where I go get my stem cell treatments, 626 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:35,119 and the stem cells I use are first of all, all of renewed 627 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,679 healthcare stem cells. All of them are ethically gathered. They come from placentas 628 00:43:38,679 --> 00:43:45,119 and umbilical cords. Renewed pays for the health care of the women going through 629 00:43:45,159 --> 00:43:52,039 their process, whether or not they end up accepting their stem cells period, 630 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,679 so they pay for that. When they take the stem cells in, they 631 00:43:55,760 --> 00:44:00,559 only take in the most healthy stem cells. They monitor the child and the 632 00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:06,679 parent I think eight or six two months to a year afterwards to make sure 633 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:10,199 that the health continues. Then they culture those stem cells. So in my 634 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:14,159 shoulder I got forty six million of them, and my ankle twelve million right 635 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:20,119 down near my achilles heel, which is utterly fixed. It's not just injuries 636 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,440 or avoiding surgery, say with lower lumbar pain et cetera. Neurological issues can 637 00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:29,119 be addressed this way. Things like carpal tunnel can be destroyed by this absolutely 638 00:44:29,199 --> 00:44:31,280 turned around. So if you've been told you have to have surgery or worse, 639 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,599 hey, just live with the pain, right, rub some dirt on 640 00:44:34,679 --> 00:44:38,320 it. Go to renew dot Healthcare. Simply have them interact with your doctor, 641 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:42,599 look at your medical records, and they will tell you yes or no 642 00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,960 if they can help you. It's renew dot Healthcare. It's important that you 643 00:44:45,039 --> 00:44:49,880 say you heard about it or saw it on the Todd Hermshew renew dot Healthcare. 644 00:44:50,639 --> 00:44:52,800 So this journalist looked into Biden, who grew up in the Black Church, 645 00:44:53,880 --> 00:45:00,679 and this thing where they put out this idea that Biden stuttered. All 646 00:45:00,679 --> 00:45:01,800 of a sudden, it was, oh, well, this is covering up 647 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:06,639 childhood Sutter. There was a piece in the New York Times that we covered 648 00:45:06,679 --> 00:45:13,280 earlier this week where they literally described his stammering and his forgetting things, his 649 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:20,880 dementia as a late stage artist like Bob Dylan singing with a different voice they 650 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:27,480 did, or the later stages of Shakespeare's writing career. They literally described it 651 00:45:27,519 --> 00:45:30,400 as late stage art. Yeah, because he's a literary giant. Right, 652 00:45:30,679 --> 00:45:35,840 yeah, you gotta truly they tried this. So this gentleman decided there's a 653 00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,039 link in the show notes Poppy Fields and this is again, this is at 654 00:45:38,039 --> 00:45:43,400 Revolvert News. We were just criticizing him a little bit earlier. Obviously nicknamed 655 00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:50,880 Poppy Fields looked at forty three hours of Biden clips and didn't find one instance 656 00:45:51,519 --> 00:45:58,280 of any stuttering. They did find an LA Times opinion writer who wrote what 657 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,679 others see as Joe Biden's mental lips, I see as the tricks of a 658 00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:07,599 master stutterer. So he's saying that when Obama can't remember things, I mean 659 00:46:07,639 --> 00:46:09,800 probably a Biden like I just did, Biden can't remember things, he's actually 660 00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:15,400 formulating. Okay, how could I say this without stuttering? Is that writer? 661 00:46:15,559 --> 00:46:17,800 Joe Scarborough? Is that? Who that is? I have to check 662 00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:21,840 back on this. When did you see him say the other day that he's 663 00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:28,239 a black woman who Biden? No. No WRD radio we ran this and 664 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:32,079 he was doing an interview where they scripted the questions. The host later admitted 665 00:46:32,159 --> 00:46:36,559 she got fired for this, that she only accepted the questions that the campaign 666 00:46:36,599 --> 00:46:40,000 gave her during a scripted interview. He fell into proud to be the first 667 00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:45,320 black vice president working for a black president, a first black woman vice president 668 00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:52,519 working for like no no. So this article then said, Okay, Biden 669 00:46:52,639 --> 00:46:58,880 didn't stutter, we can't find any but Obama did. And Obama's stuttering was 670 00:46:59,079 --> 00:47:04,719 called academic stuttering. This is the stuttering of a high I Q. That's 671 00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:15,239 true for the yeah, but but you know so point number but but but 672 00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:27,840 which is well but but but but but but Let me let me let me 673 00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:32,000 just speak more generally of that I I I this would make sense because I 674 00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:40,679 I guess all all sung everybody, I want everybody. That's why whatever. 675 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:52,599 I don't think that. So Biden stutters Obama didn't, which brings us back 676 00:47:52,639 --> 00:47:57,760 to very very good racism versus very very bad racism. It was racism when 677 00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,280 it's stuttering got called out right. Yeah. I'll never forget this moment. 678 00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:04,920 It was when I had come out as a conservative because I'd worked in Silicon 679 00:48:05,079 --> 00:48:07,039 Valley and entertainment all that time, and when I announced that I was going 680 00:48:07,079 --> 00:48:10,679 to the Republican National Committee, I got notes from people who worked in media. 681 00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,840 I assume that you're a fiscal conservative and a social liberal. More of 682 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:21,760 a libertarian, I love you anyway. And then I got this email when 683 00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:27,480 brock Hussein Obama, God bless Russal Limba, was trying to make us do 684 00:48:27,599 --> 00:48:30,280 away with their air conditioning, and he was saying things like, look, 685 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:38,440 you can't go around keeping her house at sixty nine degrees and tell the rest 686 00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,599 of the country that the world they're just going to have to live with a 687 00:48:40,679 --> 00:48:45,320 climate change. Folks, folks, draft fick some changes turned that air condition 688 00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:51,599 off. There was an article during that time where David Axelrod, who got 689 00:48:51,639 --> 00:48:54,480 that man elected, said, yeah, one of my challenges with Barack is 690 00:48:54,559 --> 00:49:00,000 he keeps the White House at seventy nine degrees. It's like a tropical eyland 691 00:49:00,079 --> 00:49:04,920 and in there no one can breathe. So I took that piece. I 692 00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,599 turned it into a video. My team did. We pushed that out with 693 00:49:09,119 --> 00:49:13,440 that video of Obama saying, you know, folks, just I have to 694 00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,079 give up their you know, heat and air conditioning. You can't. I 695 00:49:16,119 --> 00:49:23,280 got an email from a friend who came to my wedding and said, Todd, 696 00:49:23,639 --> 00:49:29,400 this is what I was worried about. This is blatant racism. I'm 697 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,480 disappointed to know that you hit this all these years, Yeah, pointing out 698 00:49:32,519 --> 00:49:38,239 Hyppocer's blatant racism. And I wrote back and said, well, yeah, 699 00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:44,679 my heart's broken. What is racist about it? If you don't know that 700 00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,480 it's racist to say black people prefer the hot weather, then it shows you're 701 00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:52,760 also ignorant. And I think that you said he preferred the hot weather. 702 00:49:53,679 --> 00:49:58,960 I think I said, he's trying to take away our heat and air conditioning. 703 00:49:59,039 --> 00:50:02,079 Right. He cranks up the heat to seventy nine degrees at all times 704 00:50:02,159 --> 00:50:05,280 in the White House. Now, to be fair, to add to that 705 00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,960 racist trope, my father in law, God bless him, keeps his house 706 00:50:08,079 --> 00:50:12,800 hotter. In a song, he smokes me out of there, God bless 707 00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:15,800 him. I love him. He's like, but yeah, he but so 708 00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:17,360 I don't want to add to the racist trope here, But yeah, no, 709 00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:22,480 no, I And that's the thing if we can't. I mean, 710 00:50:22,679 --> 00:50:27,079 look, he he makes public policy. To critique public policy has nothing to 711 00:50:27,119 --> 00:50:29,440 do with race unless you make it about it, right, And to sit 712 00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,760 there and say him saying we don't need it, and then easy for him 713 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:36,280 to say right, like it's like you know, it'd be like the equivalent 714 00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,159 of you were sitting there saying, you know, kids shouldn't be allowed to 715 00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:43,079 graduate high school until they can do you know, twenty pull ups or something 716 00:50:43,119 --> 00:50:45,599 like that. Yeah, well, I mean good, that works for you, 717 00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,239 right, bright, But how is that? How is that fair to 718 00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:50,440 everybody else? There's kids in there that you know what I mean, Like, 719 00:50:50,519 --> 00:50:52,800 it's just yeah, and this and then this is part of the reason 720 00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:57,400 you can't have real productive conversations about this exactly right, right, Like, 721 00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,159 for instance, one of the things my wife will go off on and we 722 00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:04,920 will is if we want to have a racial conversation, how about we talk 723 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:09,119 about how the black family has been destroyed by government policies, and how we 724 00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:14,760 can sit there and track one of the biggest definers of economic progress is whether 725 00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:16,159 or not you have one or two parents in the home. Right, why 726 00:51:16,159 --> 00:51:20,920 don't we talk about that? Right? And and all of these conversations that 727 00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:22,400 get pushed under the rug, And why do they get pushed under the rug? 728 00:51:22,519 --> 00:51:25,440 They get pushed under the rug because it works for the people the powers 729 00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:30,079 would be right, it works for them, And and that's the that's the 730 00:51:30,159 --> 00:51:34,559 frustrating part, because you're like, we're not even addressing the issues that are 731 00:51:34,639 --> 00:51:39,039 actually that are racist right, that are disenfranchising people, that are putting them 732 00:51:39,039 --> 00:51:43,440 at structural disadvantages. And it's you know, like, for instance, school 733 00:51:43,519 --> 00:51:46,719 choice, right way, Why can't we have school choice? Why because the 734 00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:50,760 Teachers Union is one of the biggest donors, if not the biggest donor to 735 00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,280 the DNC, and they don't. It's not about what's good for kids, 736 00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:58,000 right What about these kids that are in the inner cities, that are young 737 00:51:58,039 --> 00:52:00,920 black kids that show incredible how and their parents want him to go across town 738 00:52:01,159 --> 00:52:06,639 to the white school and that system, that system that's supposedly working for them, 739 00:52:06,639 --> 00:52:07,800 that isn't racist, won't allow them to do that. Watch the movie 740 00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,599 called The Cartel. If you guys doubt what Zach said, and I know 741 00:52:10,679 --> 00:52:15,000 that in this podcast family, most people don't watch a movie called The Cartel. 742 00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:19,920 He was a liberal who set up to go, who went out to 743 00:52:20,119 --> 00:52:22,599 show the evils of school choice and what it would do. He was a 744 00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:28,519 former teacher, and he came back going, dear God, we have to 745 00:52:28,559 --> 00:52:31,039 have school choice. Yeah, waiting for Superman's another one, right, another 746 00:52:31,039 --> 00:52:35,280 one, yep, exactly right. That is you've been so kind with your 747 00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,239 time.
