I am, in the case of Microsoft, probably the most diverse person ever
to get a decent amount of responsibility there. That's a big statement. There's
millions of people work there, but Microsoft has canceled its DEI program and move
people around or fire them. And I want to talk about this from a
personal perspective of what diversity should actually look like, because you're looking at it.
In the case of Microsoft, you are looking at it. We'll talk
about this with the help of couple entities. One is Renewed Healthcare in Mexico.
There where I go get to my stem cells ethically gathered, nothing to
do with abortion. Always always from the placentas and umbilical cords of women who
renew pays to get through their pregnancy process so they're sure that they're healthy.
And of course they can't do their work without the mighty work of God,
Almighty, who also makes this show possible. The Todd Herman show is one
disapproved by big pharma technocrats and tyrants everywhere. Now from the high mountains of
Free America, here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman. Today is a day
the Lord has made, and these are the times to which God is the
Sadur we shall live. When my company that was called US three Purple Dots
was the company and we had to mind some grandiose ideas three products surrounding media.
We should have gone with the first one, but we went with spin
Spotter, which was Internet famous, and it was a very good idea.
We lacked social media, so it really couldn't be what it could have been
or what we wanted it to be. But that won this demo God Award.
And I remember my pr agent at the time, with whom I used
to be friends until Paul has got in between and she just can't stand me
or at all. And she came to me and said, they're calling you
the Rudy of technology. I like, what is that. She goes,
you know the movie Rudy. I goes, no, I don't know the
movie Rudy. Oh, it's about this guy who shouldn't have been on the
Notre Dame football team, but he made it on the Notre Dame football team.
And I looked it up and he's this roly poly dude. I'm a
great I'm Rudy. She said, no, I mean your it's not your
physique. I mean this is where Stilla is pretty heavy, and she said,
no, it's like you are the last guy that'd expect to go be
able to win a Demo God award. Why she goes, Well, because
I mean, you're just not from the tech world. I'm not. That's
weird because in my knowledge, I've been in it since nineteen ninety five.
Well, but you're not a coder. Really, I'm not a good coder,
but I taught myself to code so that I could be conversant with the
coders who worked for me. But she don't have a tech background. Really.
I built the first actual internet radio network with the first actual ad insertion
platform into which other people could plug their ads. That was based upon an
affiliate distribution model that allowed us to mimic national radio prom targeting before there was
geotargeting. We could target vi ISPs. We could run city level ads when
no one else could do that. We had audio ads that customized themselves.
So, for instance, we did this at Hoffn State Chicago in sears.
We were at the Series headquarters pitching them on working with our network. This
is what we did. We're in there with the dial playing. We got
called back because one of the executives found on one of our affiliates, I
don't remember which one, but found the dial, did the research, figured
out we were a company that it wasn't this website's internet radio, it was
us, and they brought us back to hoff and States to pitch them on
doing advertising on our platform. And during this meeting, I asked if we
could have the dial playing in the background. Now I knew when this was
going to happen, so it wasn't a distraction. I was listening through.
I knew after a specific song, I needed to get a vertie's attention.
So here we are at Hoffman's State, Chicago. This is back when Sears
was still a big, big deal, and that song came up. I
said, okay, listen, just heads up, everybody. At the end
of the song, I want you to listen to something. And one of
the executives had logged into his dial account and it was through this affiliate,
so it had his name. Here's what happened. The song is winding down
and then an ad comes on and it says this, and it was our
most i'd say talented, and I guess in an old sense you might say
seductive female voice. She reallyd a great voice. Simone, and simone voice
comes on and says, hey, Steve, it's Simone with the dial.
Sears has something they want you to know about. And there was shock in
the room. And we ran this test ad for Sears. And then we
had this thing called the go button. Instead of click on a banner,
you clicked on the go button. We did that on purpose because we wanted
to habituate clicking on the go button. So you click on the go button
to look at content related to what you were hearing in our fake news.
We had news that was like the Babylon Bee, like just funny news.
And he clicks in their boom on the screen there's the response page for Sears.
And he said, okay, you hardwired that you did that live.
I said, no, no, we didn't. What we'd done is sat
down and had our announcers read the most common names in the English language for
men and women, and then we could use that to create special announcements.
This is how good our back end platform was. I didn't build it.
I simply communicated what needed to be built. And it was because I had
talented tech people who work for me. So when I go back and I
think about my PR agent saying, well, but you're not from a tech
background. Really, it took a lot of companies a lot of time to
catch up with stuff like that, and we eventually sold the company from nowhere
near as much as it was worth because we were at the end of the
tech bubble. We should have sold it earlier on. Microsoft had made an
offer to purchase our company for about sixty five million dollars. It would have
made me someone worth about nine million bucks. I had a board member refused
to back that. I found out later he wasn't voting his own shares.
He was voting the shares of another company, another venture capital firm, and
he finally admitted that to me. The reason he couldn't vote for the sale
is because they wanted to get their company sold first, which didn't happen,
but they blocked ours from getting sold. I say this all by introducing how
I came to go to Microsoft. It was because of that interaction in trying
they were trying to purchase our company and it didn't happen. That I met
a guy who has since become a very dear friend, very dear He was
instrumental in getting me a look at Microsoft. I went in as a consultant
and became eventually a full time employee with a field title. This is how
I came to be one of the most diverse people in Microsoft. I mean
that, look at me, I'm walking breathing diversity. I'll explain that in
the second diversity doesn't always look like you would think it would look. There
are diverse series of products for keeping your home fresh. For instance, there
are air filters. Let's go through some other qualities. They take particulate matter
out of the air and they store it in filters. Okay, good enough.
Downside, you don't really own an air filter. They are something you
rent. You buy the hardware, you rent the filters, or you rent
the hardware. You buy the hardware, but you end up renting it because
you have to replace it with these filters for a couple hundred bucks per year.
They're allowed, and they do not remove bad smells from the air.
Air purifiers do that. And the best one on the market is the oxy
Leaf to Thunderstorm from edenperdeals dot com, where you use code tod three to
save two hundred dollars on whole home coverage. Three of these devices. The
big difference is they operate almost silently the ox leaf two and produce ozone in
the room, which smells great. It actually smells like the air after a
thunderstorm, and it destroys the molecules made up of the bad smelling things like
pet odor or like cigarette order cooking odor, any of these odors. It
also destroys viruses. It's the oxy leaf two. Go to edenprideals dot com
use code Todd three to save two hundred dollars on whole home coverage. To
breathe a breath of fresh air again oxy Pure from edenperdeals dot com enter code
Todd three. From that interaction of and some others with Microsoft speaking at some
of their events and getting to know them as I was a consultant for other
companies. After resold Ours, I came in as a consultant, and based
upon my work as a consultant, I was offered a job as a full
time employee, starting at MSNBC dot com before it went insane, and ultimately
ending up at Microsoft in the msn division. I am a community college dropout.
I am someone who never made it through the first u of community college.
I didn't want to. I am someone who though I was a class
speaker in school. It was only because I was voted into B class speaker.
I didn't have good grades. I had to in order to stay on
the football and wrestling teams, avoid anything like a C average. I think
I had to get a B average. I was also told if you get
in any form of disciplinary trouble, you're off both teams. Those two reasons
are the sole reasons initially that I stopped getting in trouble and stopped my process.
I had a policy of not doing homework. I stopped getting d's and
started to get b's and a's. And in my senior year, some of
my coaches took me aside and said, look, you're recruitable for small colleges
to play small college football. You're recruitable at bigger colleges to wrestle, but
not with the grades you have. You have to get straight a's if you
want a shot at this. So I said, okay, I got to
go get the straight a's. I'm not a guy who came out with this.
Then curriculum Batal Spokane Falls Community College for half a year is not going
to impress anybody. And when I got to Microsoft, I had to go
out and do things to impress people like this. A friend of mine took
me aside and said he was the guy who ran my board. He was
the head of my board of directors with my Internet rate of company, and
I sat down with him. I said, John, what do we have
to do? He said, no, matter what you do, find a
way to put a revenue number in your head. If you're on a product
team. I said, yeah, I'm on the product team. He said,
okay, you have to put a revenue number on your head because revenue
means everything. So in your commitments, argue to have revenue responsibility. So
I did. In my commitment setting with my boss, Charlie, one of
the best bosses I've ever had, I argued for a revenue commitment. He
said, Okay, if you make this commitment, you're going to be judged
on it. What do you need my support? So he didn't set that
up. I put on a revenue commitment and from there I had a whole
bunch of product control. It was a smart move. Ultimately, how I
came to realize how diverse I was wasn't having conversations with people about their backgrounds,
and people would ask me things like, well, where'd you go to
call? And I would tell them, oh, I'd drop out, and
the looks in their faces, these quizzical looks. I also started to notice
this that at Microsoft, if you were seeking to get a raise, sometimes
there would open jobs and they would contact you as an employee. I went
to LinkedIn and I entered an education in university. I entered streaming media university.
It didn't exist, of course, it didn't exist. There was no
such thing as streaming media when I started to get into it. But it
got me through the resume blockers because it checked off a box. Oh,
he has a college degree. I didn't say that. I simply said streaming
media you. And when I would sit down with recruiters, internal recruiters at
Microsoft, they'd say, what is streaming media you? Oh, let me
ask Let me answer that question for you. Ultimately, Microsoft, based upon
my performance of a product that grew from five million in revenue to twenty five
million to one hundred million across that period of time. Then then I was
somebody because it was shown that I could create these revenue things. Then I
was given a team of direct reports. Then I was given some responsibility.
Then I got this field title. Of Global General Manager of Media Strategy.
It's a great field title. I was really more of a senior director,
That's what I was, or maybe a director now a senior director actually level
sixty six senior director. And I had the ability to go out and purchase
companies if Microsoft would say yes. Hence my time in La Los Angeles,
Hollywood and New York. And again people said, well, you don't have
an entertainment background. I don't. I worked in radio for a whole number
of years at my internet radio company. I did deals with the record companies.
I did deals with the film studios. We had rights to run music
that no one else had. There was a reason why we had so many
channels when other people couldn't have this many channels. There's a reason that we
weren't paying out the teeth to the record labels because we figured out a way
to make ourselves valuable to the record labels. We give them data. We
went to their concert promoting entities and said, hey, we can tell you
where the best place for your bands to go play. You might not even
know this. We helped them map appearances. We gave them straight data feeds
so they themselves could look at the data of how their records were performing and
with who, and with a geographic overlay. I would make these points of
people that I've been in the entertainment business. You don't want to think of
it that way. See here's the thing they continually said to me. You,
well, goush, you don't work in tech. Well wait, wait,
gush, you don't work in entertainment. Wait, you're the streaming audio
guy. What makes you think you understand streaming video because it's the same business
model. When this all came very clear to me was two instances. Number
one, there was a woman who was pushing diversity at Microsoft, and she
came knocking on my door and she said, Hey, I work with HR.
We've been sending some emails to you about helping you diversify your team,
and I haven't gotten any replies. Could we please have a discussion. I
just wanted to come by. You've got a smaller team, no offense,
but it's really important that we do this and we can help you grow the
number of team members you have. Now do you do you see the ploy?
At Microsoft there were two things that really communicated power. One was a
big revenue number. The other was how many heads did you have. I
had a general manager one day tell me, because he was saying I was
trying to move up in the organization. He said, well, you got
to get some management under your belt. I go, Scott, right,
I manage people. He goes, Todd, twelve people is not going to
press anybody. You need to manage hundreds of people. That matters. So
what this HR lady was saying to me is I can help you get more
direct reports, therefore more power. And I knew exactly what was on my
bookshelf behind me. I knew it. She came in. I said,
please, yeah, come in, let me shut some things down and sit
down and have a conversation. And she sat down facing my bookshelf was behind
me. Wonder it was right behind my head Shakedown, a book about Jesse
Jackson. And now Jesse Jackson was a shakedown artist, right behind my head.
I knew she was looking at it. She was a black woman.
I knew she was offended, but she wouldn't say anything. And I said,
can we start on a baseline here, what does diversity mean? She
goes, what does diversity mean? Well, it means hiring people who are
diverse. It's right but what does that mean diversity? She goes, well,
people of different races. We were underrepresented with races. Oh oh,
oh, okay, okay, so we want to have more? What maybe
help me? Hear? Black people, Asian people, mostly black people.
Okay, I'm in. So how do we go find black people who are
great at coding and great at business in tech and bring them in or have
great promise intellectual prowess. How do we find the very smartest, high IQ
malleable, smart, adaptive black people? I'm in? What do I need
to do to help? She goes, well, that's not really the point.
The point is that we need we need more black bodies. I said,
but you mean the right black body. She goes, well, right
now, we're behind the curve, so we really just need black people.
I said, But you don't mean that we would hire people without promise or
talent? Right? Oh no, no, but that's not the first thing
we'd look at. Oh I don't think I'm comfortable with that. The look
on her face was insane and instructive. The insanity was she sat there with
her mouth open. I mean, I'm literally looking at her teeth. Then
her eyes glanced to the Jesse Jackson book, and she knew. I told
her, if you can come here with a plan to help us find the
smartest, most promising, brilliant, malleable, curious, humble black people,
I am in. I will do anything to help with that. But if
you're telling me you simply need black people, I can't do that. That's
unethical. That was one thing that indicated to me my diversity. Another came
in a meeting that was hilarious and instructive. When I was in that meeting,
I remember looking around the room and understanding something that I was going to
say. It was going to blow people's minds. It was. So.
I was in a yet another meeting, and this was one I voluntarily went
to because I was alerted to the move to diversify Microsoft. It was a
response, I think to my interaction with this woman that I got invited to
a discussion group, and I think the play was here to put some peer
pressure on me. It didn't work to have someone from HR come and say
this, now, by the way, had I not taken a product,
not me, but my team, if I'd not if our team had not
taken a product from five million to twenty five million to one hundred million in
revenue. She simply could have gone upstairs, we've got a troublemaker over here.
Well, when that product eventually became a billion dollar contributor to Microsoft,
I wasn't there for that. That sort of troublemaker thing didn't matter as much.
So I got asked to go to this meeting, and I said,
yeah, I'd love to attend this meeting. So we sat in one of
the conference rooms in Microsoft with the door closed, and there was a whiteboard,
and there was a lady leading this and she was a love Asian lady.
And is there a call? She was from Yale or Harvard. There's
a reason I'm saying Yale or Harvard. The beginning began and she discussed that
we were here with leaders of small to medium sized teams because it was based
upon us a new generation of leaders. They wanted to build a workplace of
diversity. So when we talked through diversity, and again everybody gave their backgrounds.
This is what you did at Microsoft. Hi, my name is Alyssa.
I'm from this business unit we concentrate on this. I reported too,
this executive. I went to school an undergrad here. I got my graduate
degree here and we were around the table, and it comes up to me.
I go, hi, I'm Todd, and I'm the most diverse person
here in the room. I'm the only college dropout. I barely made it
out of high school. I learned what I learned by working in radio and
then teaching myself to write some code and hiring people smarter than me, and
learning how to go to Silicon Valley and raise money, and learning how to
make technology to replicate the greatest forms of media. I'm very forte to work
at Microsoft under this boss. I won't say the boss's name, I'll say
his first name. I'm very fortunate to work here at Microsoft under John and
I'm gradually really blessed to be here as the most diverse member of the room.
And again the look of shocks in the faces, and the lady said,
what do you mean the most diverse? I said, no, I'm
just thinking of it. I'm sitting here Yale, Yale, Harvard, Stamford,
NYU, Yale, Harvard college dropout. And the lady who ran the
meeting, this very nice Asian lady read the room laughed, first nervously and
then genuinely. She said, he's right, he's actually right. I mean
all of us are coming at things from one direction. Academia, she got
it. Actual diversity is something Microsoft used to do. They used to take
people on based upon talent or promise. Bill Gates dropped out of college and
now we know he's a worldwide expert on vaccines and food. Right, and
the sociopath probably, but he had a saying smart people are malleable. Give
them a task and they will adapt. That's how you could take someone like
me who came in as a SMEE that means subject matter expert, a SMEE,
and turn me into someone they were grooming to have a much bigger management
role, including offering to have me to pay for me to go get my
MBA, something maybe I should have done. They offered to fly me to
London, let me live over there and run a team in London, and
in exchange for that, give me money, in fact, pay for an
entire education. I told him I don't have an undergraduate degree. They said,
we can help you with that. We can help you accelerate that process
very very quickly, get you an MBA and you can come back with a
full MBA having got in National Business experience living in London. Maybe I should
have done that. Microsoft practiced DEI in the greatest possible sense, with me
a guy who shouldn't have made it through the recruiting process. If I had
just submitted a resume, it would have been kicked out of the resume bought.
If I didn't have friends like Brad to help me get into Microsoft,
I wouldn't have gotten into Microsoft. If I didn't have people like Matthew who
had worked for me. It is my dearest lifelong brother who went to Microsoft
to back up that I should be there, or people had met at industry
events saying, hey, this guy's smart. He gets this streaming media stuff
really really well. If I didn't have those things, I wouldn't have gotten
in the door. But once in the door, I wasn't a diversity hire.
I was a white dude just like any other white dude on campus.
And I was well aware of the fact that I came from behind because I
did not have the education to stand on. Therefore, I had to come
in and be smart about how I developed a what's called a portfolio. I
had to be smart and intentional, starting with that great advice to go build
revenue and then to get great reports people who work for me, and I
really was a true believer in hire people smarter than yourself. That mattered to
me. Everybody on my team was smarter than me in every possible capacity.
When Microsoft fired it's DEI head or has fired its team, they're not really
doing away with diversity, equity and inclusion. They're doing a way with the
people who are the opposite of that. That theory get me black bodies has
cost good people their careers. There's a guy kept in touch with at Microsoft,
and we'd see each other from time to time. He was in Washington,
d C. We crossed over there and we'd have dinner from time to
time. He actually called me because he knows what I do for a living
and he knew I would get this. He lost a dream job at which
he had excelled in a core business area of Microsoft. They're a zero product
the cloud thing, which was a huge strategic thing he was on. He
was making a ton of money, had a great, big team, he
was traveling globally. This was the key to becoming a partner. Base salary
for partners or a millionaire year or used to be. You get these sabbaticals
every six years. I think. I think it's like a twelve weeks sabbatical.
You get massive, massive stocks. It is a huge jump. This
makes you you're mobbed up. He was on that path when HR called him
and said, Hey, this is going to be kind of a hard discussion,
but we need to have it with you. So he went and had
this discussion. I'll tell you about this in a second. It made him
absolutely sick. It makes me sick, and I have a question for Microsoft.
Does he get his gig back. Don't let yourself get sick. If
you're one of one hundred million Americans with fatty liver disease, please do not
let that come become liver disease. Please don't let that happen. If it
happens to you, that can lead to of course turning yellow, which no
one wants. And it's so utterly preventable. How do you know if you
have fatty livered this disorder? Well, there's this. If you are obese
or really heavy, you probably have it. It's one hundred million Americans have
it, and that maps about to obesity. What is it? There's all
this fat that gets around your liver. It puts pressure on it so that
your liver is less efficient. Why does that matter, Because your liver removes
toxins from your body. If it's not operating efficiently, the toxins remain in
the body. What are some of the symptoms feeling sluggish and slow and sleepy
and having trouble even motivating yourself to do even mild forms of exercise. So
what's a solution. Well, the prime solution is to drop body fat.
That's the best way to get rid of fat your liver disorder. In fact,
the people who make Liver Health Formula want me to tell you that every
time we talk about their products, please lose the belly fat while you're doing
this. Take Liver Health Formula. It has eleven clinically proven organic ingredients botanicals
botanicals to help protect your liver during this time and to help you lose belly
fat. So simply go to get leverhelp dot com slash todd. That's get
leverhelp dot com slash todd. When you purchase a thirty day supply, they
give you two free gifts and a three hundred and sixty five day money back
guarantee. It's get Leverhelp dot Com slash Todd. So the phone call goes
like this, Hey, we need you to come in and have a discussion.
So he's thinking, have I done something wrong? Did I offend?
Somebody walks into the room and they sit down and they say, hey,
this is a take one for the team moment. There's a woman who's gonna
come in and take over your role, and we're sorry to say that,
We're gonna help you find another role. It might involve a lateral transfer into
another division. Now at Microsoft there are core business divisions like Azure, and
there are non core. Non Core always get laid off for its Core are
always last to get laid off. Non Core get the leftovers. Core get
the first fruits. He knew this, and he said, okay, so
what if my performance reviews are four point zeros to four point five's Sometimes five
o's hard to get a five os five to five is a perfect And so
I haven't had any disciplinary issues, I had no lack of performance. I've
met all my commitments. Wise this happening, This is a diversity move.
The decision has been made, it is irrevocable. We're going to help you
find the lateral transfer somewhere else, same level. He ended up getting transferred
into a non core business unit and had no reports. In other words,
he was stripped of all influence at Microsoft, even though at that time there
wasn't an international business deal that could get done, any international business deal that
could get done out of the Azure unit without going over my friend's desk.
He had to review every single deal. That's power. He didn't have any
in this other job gone. The woman who came in to replace him was
Hispanic and had never worked in that field. She'd never done in a national
business. She had never worked in business development. She had never written or
reviewed contracts of this level ever once in her life. She came from a
communications dash PR background. When she was brought under the team and was doing
the first team call, believe it or not, it was another female who
addressed this very issue. She virtually raised her hand in the meeting and said,
I have a question, and this lady said yes. She said,
you do know that you're here replacing a great talented manager with all sorts of
experience in this business and in this business unit, and you're coming in with
absolutely no experience, and you expect us to accept this you're actually accepting this
job knowing it's because you're an Hispanic woman, right, You're doing this?
And the lady said, yeah, yeah, I am. I'm doing it.
I'm taking this and I'm going to need you guys to teach me this
business. I'm smart and talented and I'll learned, but I need you to
teach me. That woman who made that challenge to the new boss wrote an
email later and said, I will not sit and provide on the job training
for a person at this level of our business who has never worked in this
division, has never worked in core tech, is a communications person, because
what this means is do my job for me while I get to have the
title. She transferred herself out of that core business unit. Does she get
her job back Microsoft? Does my friend that you openly moved out of the
way because he was too white? Does he get his job back? Now?
Revenge is the province of God. It is, It's not the province
of mankind. I'm not seeking revenge, I'm seeking justice. It is the
Lord Jesus who tells us in the body of Christ, there's no servant nor
master, no Greek nor Jew. He invented all the so called races of
people. He made us all and wants to view us all equally. So
do I. So my question to Microsoft is, now that you've made this
change, are you going to rectify the change? The R and C is
taking a run at diversity. They are, and what they're trying to do
is diversify the people coming into the committee and on stage. We saw this
last week. Now, there are two people I want to spotlight in this.
One is David Sachs and the other is Amber Rose. Why the connection
Because they're connected. You may not think so, but they are. The
Republican base is an embarrassment to Washington, DC. Professional Republicans. We embarrass
them, Guns embarrass them, Obsession with the Second Amendment embarrasses them. But
nothing embarrasses them more than having to talk about the social issues such as biblical
marriage, such as same sex attraction. They had to be absolutely shamed into
defending children against gender ideology. As one of the guys who shamed them early
on and was talking about gender ideology eight years before it became a cause celeb
I know this because I had Republicans tell me this. It makes us so
uncomfortable to discuss these things. So we see events like Amber Rose speaking at
this committee. Now, Amber, I don't know. I don't know her
heart. I don't know if the Lord has called her. I don't know.
But what I do know is she's made a living with her body.
I do know she's made a living with sexuality. These are the things I've
learned. And I don't know that she's not a smart woman. Again,
I don't know, but I do understand the play. This is part of
Amber Rose's speech at the Republican National Committee. But I'm here tonight to tell
you, no matter your political background, that the best chance we have to
give our babies a better life is to elect Donald Trump president of the United
States. Now you may be wondering why I'm up here telling you this.
I'm no politician, and I don't want to be, but I do care
about the truth. And the truth is that the media has lied to us
about Donald Trump. I know this because for a long time I believe those
lies. So I'm here to set the record straight. The first person I
knew who supported Donald Trump was my father. I was shocked. My entire
family is racially diverse, and I believe the left wing propaganda that Donald Trump
was a racist. My father said, no, he's not, Amber,
what are you talking about? And when I insisted, he said, prove
it. So to prove my father wrong, I did my research and looked
into all things Donald trum Trump people have to do their research. I watched
all the rallies and I started meeting so many of you his red hat wearing
supporters. I realized Donald Trump and his supporters don't care if you're black,
white, gay or straight. It's all love. And that's when it hit
me. These are my people. This is where I belong. This is
my people, This is where I belong. But these are my people,
this is where I belong. Well, welcome, Amber, And maybe it
truly is concern for your kids, in which case you need to drop any
connection to anything related to the sex business. You cannot have concern for kids
and embrace the business of sex. You can't because it totally departs the word
of God. This is one of the things against which we're fighting. Why
am I saying this is DEI well, because the Republicans have been told you
need to expand the number of African Americans have on stage. Black people,
black women get it, young faces get it. But who are they Why
are they there. She's photogenic, she's a pretty lady. She's a good
speaker, she's convincing. Why is she there? She's there to draw people
like David Sachs. See, we the base of the Republican Party, and
I'm not a Republican, but I can't vote for Democrats. We embarrass them
by talking about same sex marriage as something that we should not outlaw. We
can't. That is inconsistent with the constant. But it's something we should discourage
because it goes against God law. God's law, just like we should discourage
adultery because it poisons families, and it poisoned souls, and it shakes a
part of society. Those positions embarrass professional Republicans, and they deeply embarrass a
certain class of donor. That doesn't mean that amber Rose didn't say some things
of value. This is a second portion of amber Rose's speech at the Republican
National Committee, So again, I'm not saying that she didn't provide some value.
When I met the President and Melania for the first time, he was
kind and generous and funny as hell, very funny. The first lady was
gracious and smart, with a smile that will brighten up any room. If
you're watching this tonight, you know our country is in trouble, just like
me. When you go to the store and buy food for your family,
you're shocked. When you fill up your gas tank, you're pissed. I
know I am, And when you turn on the news, you are just
exhausted. Inflation is out of control, and you know in your heart it
was not like this under Donald Trump. Those things are all true things.
And that's enough of what Amber said. So, Okay, we're pissed about
gas prices. Is it really the gas prices we're pissed about. I promise
you this. Pursue all the low gas prices you want while pursuing social liberalism,
and you'll end up back at the same place because social liberalism always ends
in destroying truth, because it cannot stand with truth, because it departs truth.
Truth is a person, God himself is truth. Again, I don't
know Amber Rose, and I don't mean to criticize her because they don't know
her criticizing the play the plays being done to bring money people to the table,
because Silicon Valley executives have told us the same things for years. When
I was at the committee, the Republican National Committee. I had many,
many executive meetings on the West Coast with Hollywood types and with Silicon Valley types,
and I was told the same thing, till your party drops its social
issue stances, we cannot give you money. And abortion now is a made
decision. Apparently they're okay with that made decision, but not on same sex
marriage, not on the so called transing of kids. Republicans were forced to
stand up against the transing of kids. But they want to have people like
David Sachs on board. And I get it. David Sacks is a brilliant
man. David Sacks is brilliant in the ways of this earth, in the
ways of this earth, and he's got a lot of money, and money
makes a lot of calls. Just ask my friend Zach Abraham at BULWARDT Capital.
You know Zach from the show. He's been with us multiple times because
he was in Idaho. He's with us nearly every Friday. Chief Investments Officer
Bulwark Capital Management at No Your Riskradio dot com. He's seen it all.
He was there for the housing collapse, the first one, and he warned
his bosses, we need the short housing stocks. And just like anybody who
said that at the time, he was laughed out of the room. Kids,
you don't get it. They're too big to fail. That's so so
long ago. Now Bulwark Capital Management has been blessed to steward the moneys of
many, many people, and that's how Zach sees It's stewarding. As a
consequence, he is doing now a regular series of workshops highly focused on inflation
as the silent assassin of retirement portfolios, and another one coming up the twenty
fifth of this month at three thirty Pacific. It's free, but you have
to have to register to attend. If you intend to retire in five,
ten, even fifteen years, understand that the money you have now is predicated
upon inflation. Now, if inflation goes up five, ten, fifteen points,
what happens to your ability to keep not working? It can evaporate again.

technology and technology investing, and he was at the Republican National Committee giving his
speech. By the way, you can purchase speaking slots with certain amounts of
donations. I'm not saying that David Sachs did this. And by the way,
David Sacks has been incredibly helpful, incredibly helpful with Republicans in San Francisco.
He's been incredibly helpful in putting pressure on them. I want to give
him all the credit in the world. This isn't to knock against David Sacks.
David is who he is. But amberrows in positions and platform changes are
meant to draw people like David Sacks to the table. This is part of
David sacks statements at the Republican National Convention. In my hometown of San Francisco,
Democrat rule has turned the streets of our beautiful city into a cessful of
crime, homeless encampments, and open drug use. Democrats led by Borders are
Kamala Harris have allowed millions of illegal migrants to invade our country. They tasked
homeland security notwith stopping the illegal aliens, but with busting them all over our
country. Democrats have recklessly spent trillions of dollars of wasteful and unnecessary govern programs,
setting off the worst inflation since Jimmy Carter. Well, it's not a
Barnberger's speech at all by any regard, but he's not a barn Burner speaker,
but inflation got it. Just talked about it with Zach. Find me
a way to have a non inflationary economy when you have people running the economy
who pretend that math doesn't exist, who pretend that binaries aren't real, that
there's not man and woman, who pretend that a debt of three hundred trillion
is actually just a debt of thirty trillion. You can't find me a way
to have truth in a socially liberal environment. It cannot be done. This
is the rest, not the rest, but another portion of David Sach's speech.
Again not a barn Burner of a speech. But worst of all,
the Bien Harris administration has taken a world that was at peace under President Trump
and they lit it on fire from pausing here. No one cares. He
was pausing to get applause. They lit it on fire. The international relations
in Ukraine, no one cares. David Sachs, we should care about the
human life. Jesus weeps. We should, But that is not what's going
on in the Republican national community's heart, not the grassroots people to restart.
First, President Biden bossed the Afghanistan withdrawal, displaying incompetence and weakness to the
whole world to see. Then he provoked, yes, provoked the Russians to
invade Ukraine with talk of NATO expansion. No one cares. He rejected every
opportunity for peace in Ukraine, including all to end the war just two months
after it broke out. Now, man, the lack of response to this
guy's speech is making me uncomfortable. I feel itchy. I feel itchy.
It's rude. David Sachs is a brilliant guy, drawn to the table because
he is deeply affected by what's going on in San Francisco. His companies are
affected, his safety is affected. And I respect that decision. But to
change the platform to draw people like David Saxon by departing God's word will simply
mean that you go down the same exact path that democrats went down. You
cannot get your country back this way. You could only get your power back.
And guess what power in an earthly sense is so temporary it is ash.
There is no real power except that which comes from God, and there
is no real home except for the eternal home. You make the decision to
choose up or down. It is up to you entirely. But thinking this
stuff's going to rescue us is just like thinking skin color is diversity just different
lies from the same liar. Lord, thank you for reminding us that you,
and fearing you, fearing disappointing you is in fact the beginning of wisdom.
That we don't have any wisdom on our own. I'm sure the true
source of that. This is the Todd Hermann Shaw. Please go, be
well, be strong, be kind, and make every effort to walk in
the light of Christ.
