WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:06.599 What's your PhD? In I've a PhD? In shut your whole PhD and 2 00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:12.279 shut up. It's another show about credentialism, this time inspired by the great 3 00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:15.919 work of my friend Chris Bray, who are in the show from time to 4 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.000 time. Why bother ha him on the show when I could just steal his 5 00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:25.480 stuff. I'm not really stealing him giving credit, just a reminder about empty 6 00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:29.879 credentialism. PhD and shut up. And a master's degree and because I said 7 00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:34.600 so, And you know what, I've got a dual masters and do you 8 00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:40.560 know who I am? Those are important degrees. We'll talk about this with 9 00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.560 the help of God Almighty. I don't know how he is, how impressed 10 00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:51.520 he is by your PhD. I'm just saying the Todd Herman's show is one 11 00:00:52.399 --> 00:01:00.479 disapproved by big pharma technocrats and tyrants everywhere. Now the Hi'm mountains of Free 12 00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:15.879 America. Here's the Emerald City exile God Herman. Today is a day the 13 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.200 Lord has made, and these are the times to which God has decided we 14 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:26.959 shall live. Welcome, Welcome, one and all to the Todd Herman Show. 15 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:32.000 A very important show. After all, I'm a credential The talk show 16 00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:36.159 host and do you know who I am? And let me tell you a 17 00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:41.280 little bit about all the things. So there's a difference between credentials and ability, 18 00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:46.959 and there's a difference between empty credentials and credentials that actually mean something. 19 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:55.760 Credentialism is the is sort of like scientism. So science, of course is 20 00:01:55.760 --> 00:02:00.280 a process. You arrive at a theory and around that you build a thesis, 21 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:05.480 and from that thesis then you attempt to disprove your thesis because by if 22 00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.039 you cannot disprove it, then you can say that the thesis looks strong. 23 00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:13.479 So that's a scientific method. It doesn't mean that you come out and say 24 00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:17.319 this is absolutely what happens, but it's an indicator that this might be what's 25 00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:25.479 happening. Scientism is trust the scientists, all right, but which ones? 26 00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:30.039 Well, the right ones? Well, but how do you know the right 27 00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:38.560 well, because they're the ones that everybody says is right. Who's everybody people 28 00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:43.280 on the TV? So what should we trust them about? Well? All 29 00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:50.159 the things? Well, like what, well, the science says you should 30 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:55.319 not make your bed. Science says you should you should leave your bed unmade 31 00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:00.759 so that the sleep bacteria gets winded out of it. The science says, 32 00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:07.000 okay, I can see that. Science says you should vote Democrat. So 33 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.360 the science says, well, yeah, I read an article. It says 34 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:16.240 that scientists say that Republicans are depressed. To me, was there an organic 35 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:21.400 test for that? Well, I don't know. I'll just trust the scientists. 36 00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:27.919 That's scientism that you turned to scientists to make all decisions in life. 37 00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:34.879 The science says religion is a fancy of the week, says it's the opioids 38 00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:44.439 of them. So that's scientism. Credentialism is this you say to somebody, 39 00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:51.879 well, why do you think that it's such a great idea to not check 40 00:03:51.960 --> 00:04:00.960 voter id Well, first of all, I should say that I'm a I'm 41 00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:09.360 a lawyer. Huh, that's cool, you're a lawyer. But that means 42 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:15.360 what I asked you. Why you think that Credentialism is the ability to shut 43 00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:20.319 others up by saying I don't know how technical you are. That was a 44 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:25.319 thing back in Microsoft. I used to love this when I'd been given a 45 00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:30.639 field gender manageable title and had some juice as it were on product teams and 46 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:34.079 at one time I was explaining why we needed a certain feature within a product 47 00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:38.720 and a guy said to me, well, I don't know how technical you 48 00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:41.480 are. I mean, I don't want to talk over your head. I 49 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:47.519 do have a couple of degrees in computer science and engineering. I said, 50 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:56.480 I don't know how much time you've spent in the media business, checkmate. 51 00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:05.000 So dentialism can be meaningful if you actually have credentials that you put into play, 52 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:10.079 that you can point at, say, my credentials have produced these fruits. 53 00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:15.360 It's almost like know them by their fruits. It's almost like the fruits 54 00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:19.920 of the spirit. It's almost like wisdom. Are they relying on their own? 55 00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:26.279 In many cases, they're not even relying on wisdom, man made or 56 00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:32.040 God inspired. They're simply relying upon the credentials. Credentialism allows you to do 57 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:36.759 things like this. If you're on the video service and you're watching this, 58 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:43.040 this is Nate Hotchman. Nate's a smart guy. He's credentialed. No, 59 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.639 actually, he's the guy pointing out how ridiculous this is. He doesn't need 60 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:54.920 credentials because he's using common sense. This is the ap writing about not using 61 00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:59.720 the uppercase B in white but using it in black. Nate writes the apie 62 00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:03.160 Stibok justification for capitalizing black but not white is just as insane as you'd expect. 63 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:11.399 But these are credential journalists. Why we will lowercase white. This is 64 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:17.079 John Denizwensky, vice President for Standards, in July twenty twenty twenty. AP's 65 00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:21.519 style will continue to lowercase the term white in racial, ethnic, and cultural 66 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:27.319 senses. The decision followers are moved last month to capitalize black in such uses. 67 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:31.720 We consulted with a wide variety of people internally and externally around the globe, 68 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:36.560 and considered a variety of commentary in making these decisions. We agree that 69 00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:42.120 white people's skin color plays in the systemic inequalities and injustices. Then we want 70 00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:47.279 our journalism to robustly explore those problems. But capitalizing the term white, as 71 00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:58.120 is done by white supremacists rests risk subtly conveying legitimacy to such beliefs. So 72 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:08.639 we'll go with black supremacy because we're credentialed. Incidentally, why do you think 73 00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:15.000 what they call white supremacists, Why do you think they've started to capitalize white 74 00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:20.879 because they want to pretend it's a race, just like you want to pretend 75 00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:29.920 black is a race. But they're very credentialed. I had a conversation during 76 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.399 the credentialism of all credentialism, and this was during the height of the COVID 77 00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:38.600 lockdowns. And I had a doctor say to me, and this was on 78 00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:42.000 Russian show, God Rush Rush Limbaugh, and thank you Rush for everything he 79 00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:44.959 did for me. And I took a call from a doctor and it so 80 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:49.319 often went this way is we were talking about lockdown policy and my opinion that 81 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:54.680 it was an utter and complete swindle and a scam. And he called up 82 00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:57.439 and said, Hey, Todd, I appreciate you filling in for Rush, 83 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:01.600 love your stories about Seattle. We agree on a lot kind of disagree with 84 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.639 you on the lockdown stuff. And I should tell you in advance that I, 85 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.199 uh, and they always do it this way that I well, I'm 86 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:15.079 a I'm a doctor. And I just let that sit there for a second 87 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.240 and I said, why why are you telling me that? Well, I 88 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:22.639 just thought you should know. Oh, okay, Well, no, I 89 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.920 think it's important because I'm coming at this from a credential point of view. 90 00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:35.720 Credentialed. Did you take classes on lockdownism in college? Well? No, 91 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:41.840 but it took courses on immunology. Okay, did they ever mention lockdowns? 92 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.320 Well no, But I'm coming this at a perspective of someone who has, 93 00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:54.000 you know, a credential background and infectious diseases. Oh okay, well gaining 94 00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:58.600 those credentials, did you study lockdowns? Well no, But what I guess 95 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:03.759 I'm saying is I'm coming at this from a perspective of someone whose job it 96 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:09.960 is to protect society. Oh okay, that's your job to protect society by 97 00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:16.600 studying lockdowns. Well okay. So here's what I wanted to say, though, 98 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.919 is that there's there's reasons for this. What are they? Well, 99 00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:31.240 it's to protect society. Oh okay. Why are abortion facilities open? Well, 100 00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:37.639 that's a medical necessity for who. Well, I don't want to get 101 00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:39.559 into the specifics of abortion. Okay. Well, then why are strip clubs 102 00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.399 open? Well not, no, no, they are. They're in the 103 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:46.679 state of Nevada. Strip clubs and casinos are open. In the state of 104 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:50.240 Washington. Pot shops are open, liquor stores are open, but churches are 105 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.519 to be closed. Why is that? Well, that's not My greater point 106 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.399 is that there's a reason for this. There's a reason. Okay, Well, 107 00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.559 I don't think that you're going to enough respect to my credentials here, 108 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.799 I simply said, luck doctor. In terms of how to treat the human 109 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.559 body for disease, in terms of how to look up which surgical process is 110 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:16.720 required, in terms of discerning what might be causing some sort of illness, 111 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:22.320 I bow to your knowledge. But in terms of looking at something like a 112 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.320 lockdown, I don't. Because there's history I can look at, and I 113 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:30.080 can look at when we had the Spanish flu, and I can look and 114 00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.360 say, wow, that didn't work. When you could be held by gunpoint 115 00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.080 in your house by the local sheriff, that didn't stop the disease. I 116 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:39.360 can look at the note written by the guy who ran public health policy for 117 00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:45.759 the United States of America where he apologized forever putting people in face coverings because 118 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:50.919 more people died of bacterial pneumonia than they ever died of the Spanish flu, 119 00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:54.519 that he apologized for doing that for lockdowns, I can read that history, 120 00:10:56.240 --> 00:11:01.639 can you. I didn't say I had a history degree. Okay, appreciate 121 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:09.200 the phone call credentialism. See it's a poison because it's weakness. It's the 122 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.480 weakest possible way to argue well, do you know who I am? So 123 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:20.200 let's get into what Chris Bray has done here and his inevitably brilliant style of 124 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:22.840 writing. We'll get to that, and I want to get to some of 125 00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:28.360 his analysis about a new powerbroker in the state of California. This is the 126 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:33.480 new Scott Wainder. But he has a very important credential. A. He's 127 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:41.840 black. B he's a social worker, sort of sort of haus. Chris 128 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:46.639 dug into that as well, Chris Bray doing what Chris Bray does, going 129 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:52.159 and exposing some empty credentialism in the state of California. Chris writes, Corey 130 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:56.480 Jackson is the Junior Scout winner, a first termer in the California Assembly who's 131 00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:01.919 quickly made a name for himself by successfully five against hold on for a moment 132 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:07.120 while I sigh heavily. I'll do it for you, Chris. The white 133 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:11.039 nationalistic far right and its fascist book bands. Yes, what this actually means 134 00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:15.919 is that assemblaman Jackson is cursuiting, crusading for eight year olds to get plenty 135 00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:22.120 of books at school about how to engage in I will not use the word 136 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:30.919 Chris does oral satisfaction. Here's Jackson with California governor. So he goes through 137 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.919 with this guy Jackson, and he is showing how very learned he is. 138 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:43.720 He's here arguing against this book ban and he's with California governor, Governor Patrick 139 00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.039 ba Or California Governor Patrick Bateman, No said California Governor. California's governor is 140 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:52.120 caff dis m'd be getting all sort of Biden brain on this celebrating the signing 141 00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:56.120 of his anti book band built into law. Note that Jackson fumbles the very 142 00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:01.639 first of the few sentences he has to read into the camera. And that's 143 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:07.080 applanning the responsibility of every generation to making sure that the rights go on for 144 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:11.320 the next generation to be able to enjoy. And today is a special day, 145 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:13.759 and so I want to thank the governor for being able to make sure 146 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:16.639 that we meet this moment in history. Well, I appreciate you and your 147 00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.840 leadership. Remarkable that we're living in a country right now in this banning bitch, 148 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:26.759 this cultural purge that we're experiencing all America now, increasingly here in the 149 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:31.919 state of California, where we have school districts large and small, banning books, 150 00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:37.039 banning free speech and pers and we want to do more than just push 151 00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:41.240 back rhetorically against that. And that's what this legislation provides. It allows us 152 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:45.840 to become the second state. Illinois did a version of this that goes in 153 00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:50.320 effect in January. When I sign your bill will go in effect immediately in 154 00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.879 the state of California ban on book bands here in the state. This is 155 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:58.600 long overdue and this banning binge has to come to an end. This banning 156 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:05.799 budge for your leadership, and with the simple signature, we can make that 157 00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:11.440 happen. I'm grateful for your leaders Okay, So humor aside, here's the 158 00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:15.480 thing in my defense, I thought Chris screwed up saying Patrick. I don't 159 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:20.120 know who Patrick Bateman is. I'm utterly disconnected from pop culture. Patrick Bateman 160 00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:24.120 is a fictional character created by novelist Brett Deston. Ellis. Okay, I 161 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:28.879 read that book American Psycho. I forgot the name. So that's what the 162 00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:33.120 inside joke from. Bray's actually calling the governor the American Psycho. But yeah, 163 00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:37.799 the guy stumbles the very first thing he's supposed to say, Chris Bray. 164 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:41.480 The video makes me feel like George Gras a George Gross Penning again. 165 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:46.240 Why more America needs expression It's expressionist depiction of moral and intellectual decay. If 166 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:50.919 anyone has the time, make the face really, really jagged and solemn. 167 00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:54.600 Now, if you doubt the blunt aggressiveness of Jackson's framing, here, he 168 00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:58.360 is inducing a bill in a clip that runs for less than a minute eighteen 169 00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:07.720 AB ten seventy eight. Thank you very much, mister chair and members of 170 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:15.360 the Committee. I would like to begin by stating that I will be accepting 171 00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:20.440 the Committee's amendments and thank the Committee for working with me on this measure. 172 00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:33.480 AB ten seventy eight is a bill that intends to combat the national Christian white 173 00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:41.759 supremacist movement, which is aimed to ban Book's school curriculum and even more in 174 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:48.039 our schools, even more, even more, this issue is quite makes people 175 00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:54.440 uncomfortable. It's a tough discussion and it's a tough issue. So but he's 176 00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:58.919 a social worker and he's going to say that. In further clips, here's 177 00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:03.360 how he's being portrayed in California. Corey Jackson on trackt to by California's first 178 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:11.679 black capital b openly LGB so called TQ state lawmaker, the Paris Democrat could 179 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:21.960 also become Riverside County's first B capital B black state legislator credentials. Now, 180 00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:26.879 incidentally, here's some of the ways that this career social worker is being framed 181 00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:33.159 in California. Assemblymen Doctor Corey A. Jackson appointed as chair of Budget Subcommittee 182 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.519 number two on Human Services. Now remind you budget subcommittee with a social workers 183 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:42.519 background. Assemblyman doctor Corey A Doctor Corey A. Jackson to announce one million 184 00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:47.600 dollar state budget allocation to ie CF. At the State of the black Ie 185 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:52.000 Symposium, some of themen, Doctor Corey Jackson makes request to widen investigation into 186 00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:57.960 Riverside County Sheriff's correctional facilities. In his leadership, he is a social worker 187 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:14.000 Ish Ish, so Chris dug into his backgrounds. Doctor Jackson graduated from CSU 188 00:17:14.559 --> 00:17:18.519 San Bernardino, where he received his degree in political science and served as a 189 00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:22.440 member of the CSO Board of Trustees and chair of the Santa Manuel Student Union 190 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:26.039 Board of Directors. He is also a graduate of California Baptist University, where 191 00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:32.440 received his Master's in Social Work degree and a Doctor of Social Work degree. 192 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:40.440 Well, by the way, about that school, Apparently, as Chris found 193 00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:44.680 out, the doctor of Social Work program at California Baptist ranked one hundred and 194 00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:53.240 fourteenth nationwide among schools of social work is delivered through a flexible online modality. 195 00:17:53.960 --> 00:18:02.359 He's an internet social worker. Academic research is a public service, of course, 196 00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:06.799 and so California Baptist puts his DSW dissertations online. You can download doctor 197 00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:12.839 Corey Jackson's dissertation Afrocentric Capacity to Building Building Agency in the African American Community runs 198 00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:17.000 to adaunting eighty pages, but non scholarship, we relieved to know that only 199 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:19.599 fifty six pages of that is actual text of the thing. Let's take a 200 00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:27.200 look for a moment. We'll pause and hear more from doctor Jackson, and 201 00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:34.039 then you'll hear his credentialed work that's outlined by the great Chris Bray. Thank 202 00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:40.480 you very much, mister speaker. You know, as a social worker, 203 00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:44.519 there we go. How important this bill is an online social worker, I 204 00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:48.440 can't tell you how important and how complicated the families of this state are. 205 00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:56.160 Many of us come from communities in which has a large stigma when it comes 206 00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:00.799 to mental health, and when it's a professional that it would be necessary and 207 00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:07.359 certainly a professional person knows that they need a pause when a professional deems it 208 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:15.799 necessary and a young person knows, Wait a minute, where are the credentials 209 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:21.480 of the young person? Do parents have credentials? Here's my credential. My 210 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:27.119 daughter has been in my life for nineteen years. Here's my credential. I 211 00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:32.240 know when she started cutting herself and locking herself in a room for three weeks 212 00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:37.400 at a time, I knew something was wrong. Parents whose kids they've known 213 00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:41.240 for their entire life suddenly say hey, I'm not a girl. I'm a 214 00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:42.640 boy. They can go wait a minute, No, you're not because we 215 00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:47.000 saw you in the We saw you when he came out of the your mother, 216 00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:48.920 and you were a girl then, and you're a girl now. But 217 00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:56.920 I'm a social worker. Parents don't have any credentials do support and what their 218 00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:03.079 family can give them. It is critical that they get the hope that they 219 00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:11.519 need. We can also not forget about various families within our state and throughout 220 00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:19.319 this nation who in many cases are not living in very safe environments, and 221 00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:32.400 in many cases these mental health issues originate from the family's situations. So this 222 00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:37.000 is not just something that we can continue with this talking points and this narrative 223 00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:45.079 about parents' rights. Let's just talk about saving lives. The most utterly simplistic 224 00:20:45.160 --> 00:20:52.039 and silly thing credentialists do is take a position like that. So let's break 225 00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:56.000 down what he's actually talking about. He's talking about kids being able to sequester 226 00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:03.519 themselves into the hands of a glitter family to reparent them as their true, 227 00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:07.680 authentic selves. Meaning born in the wrong body, meaning I will celebrate this 228 00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:12.599 with you, meaning that the mental illness signs of depression and anxiety are going 229 00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:18.119 to be solved by mutilating you, meaning parents have don't have the necessary credentials 230 00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:21.720 to be able to say no, no, it's not that they're born in 231 00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:23.880 the wrong body. They were raped, they were beaten. That we learned 232 00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:27.640 this about them. The world's telling them of this. My daughter made this 233 00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:33.000 decision after five boys harassed her, after she saw porn for the first time, 234 00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:34.880 and a neighborhood boy said, no, watch this, it's cool. 235 00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:37.559 That's when she made the decision. No, that doesn't matter. You don't 236 00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:41.200 have the credentials for this. After all, I became a social worker by 237 00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:48.920 going in an online school. Those are my credentials. So in a second 238 00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:59.759 you'll hear some of how doctor Corey Jackson created his no doubt brilliant thesis courtesy 239 00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:04.480 of the work of Chris Bray in California. There are parents who have a 240 00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:07.599 circumstance that many, many people would say, you don't have the credentials for 241 00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:11.640 this. Let's just give you an example. So, my friend John is 242 00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:18.440 the dad of Alan and Alan soaps. So here's the conversation. John and 243 00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:23.480 his wife go in for an ultrasounds to a credential doctor and during the ultrasound, 244 00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:27.839 the doctor notices that there are very unique things about Alan's body. Alan 245 00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:33.279 is going to have a whole set of structural challenges, and that's come true. 246 00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.160 He's thirteen, He's been through about eighteen operations. The latest one was 247 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:42.559 fusing some vertebras so he could walk more elegantly, more comfortably, I should 248 00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:48.200 say. So, this credential doctor looks into the ultrasound and tells John and 249 00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:55.839 his wife, let's kill this thing, because as a doctor with credentials, 250 00:22:55.920 --> 00:23:00.519 I'm saying that thing is never going to have any quality of life. That 251 00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:07.240 thing should be killed. Where's John and his wife are saying? What that's 252 00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:11.359 our son? What are you talking about? You don't have that authority? 253 00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:15.079 God has that authority. God, by the way, God has credentials. 254 00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:18.319 He has a whole series of credentials, walking on water, creating the world, 255 00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:22.519 conquering death, all those things. But you know no degree. So 256 00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:25.799 they say, we're going to make the decision. No, We're going to 257 00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:29.200 have this baby come to full term and raise this baby that is now Alan 258 00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:33.039 from Alan Soaps. He is the chief soap office there. He invents the 259 00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:37.319 soaps, he invents the fragrances based upon his memory. He's effectively nonverbal, 260 00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:41.240 but he's a brilliant kid. His mom could understand him, and when he 261 00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:45.200 has to speak, he has a tablet he can use. I've asked you 262 00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:49.640 to examine the products with which you wash your body. Simply decide do I 263 00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:52.640 want to continue to buy it from them, or do I want the soaps 264 00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:57.440 from Alan's, which are all natural, made in America, absolutely gentle and 265 00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:03.440 made with the expertise of a family with three generations of soap making expertise. 266 00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:07.240 To me, the answer is very very clear. You also participate in something 267 00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:11.079 bigger than just having great soap. Allen and his brother Ian worked there, 268 00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:15.279 and we want to employ two more kids with special needs. By the end 269 00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:18.880 of the year. You contribute to that by simply changing where you get your 270 00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:22.200 soap and the deliver it to your home. You can even subscribe so you 271 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:26.200 never run out alansoaps dot com slash todd you get ten percent off everything there 272 00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:34.519 alansoaps dot com slash todd. Chris Bray looked into Corey Jackson's background and his 273 00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:41.480 dissertation because he's a doctor. Here's what Chris writes, Doctor Jackson created a 274 00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:48.519 survey of nineteen questions, and he got twenty five members of local African American 275 00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:56.519 American community organizations to complete the survey. This is the dissertation that makes him 276 00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:00.200 a doctor. This is why he gets to say, well, I'm a 277 00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:07.759 doctor of social work. So for what questions like this about racial equity and 278 00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:14.720 inclusion in Afrocentric community based participatory speech. To assess the RII development of participants, 279 00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:18.839 the question air asked if respondents felt very close in their ideas in thinking 280 00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:23.240 of the African American community, if respondents wanted to learn more about their African 281 00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:30.680 identity, and if the ACBPR process strengthened the African identity. Correspondents were asked 282 00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:33.960 to write those questions on a scale ranging from one very close to strongly agree 283 00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:38.400 to four not at all close or strongly disagree. By asking these questions, 284 00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:44.279 the study intended to understand the extent to which respondents viewed ARII is important to 285 00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:48.480 their lives and to what extent this system is furthered their development of RII. 286 00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:55.200 So yeah, African Americans. Study participants said they favor racial equality and feel 287 00:25:55.200 --> 00:26:00.480 close to the African American community. Here's his conclusion. This is the dissertation 288 00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:07.839 that makes him a doctor. Conclusion African Americans have experienced profound historical inequalities and 289 00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:12.880 social vulnerability that must be addressed due to systepic racism other forms of marginalization throughout 290 00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:19.000 American history. The African American Committee lacks the person and communal agency to necessarily 291 00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:26.039 address these issues or these inequities. Through the ACBPR model, African American partnerships 292 00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:30.160 have identified the necessary capacity building components needed to build power that can transform their 293 00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:40.160 environment and biopsychological biosocial outcomes. I didn't want to finish it. This is 294 00:26:40.200 --> 00:26:45.240 a dissertation of a doctor in social work. Is there any social work in 295 00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:55.200 this No? But that's how doctor Jackson, MSWDSW became doctor Jackson with that 296 00:26:55.319 --> 00:26:59.960 dissertation, and he gets to then speak in to meetings to say, well, 297 00:27:00.039 --> 00:27:06.799 well, I'm a social worker, so shut up. I'm a doctor, 298 00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:08.759 so put the mask on and shut up. I'm a journalist, so 299 00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:15.640 we're going to capitalize be but not black, so shut up. This is 300 00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:22.599 also how people perpetuate this scam. Figurehead Biden deciding to pretend that he has 301 00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:26.440 the authority to wipe out one point two billion dollars in student loan Dad, 302 00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:30.480 is this going to make these things worse? Because people can go get their 303 00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:36.200 credentials and then not pay for their credentials, which all to often end up 304 00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:41.799 being empty. Credentials need more proof? How about the credential journalism of Stephanie 305 00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:48.960 rule? But what about this idea that wealth equals expertise in all fields? 306 00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:52.960 Is this a new phenomenon? No, it's complete fiction, a Stephanie. 307 00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:59.160 But you know, Bill Ackman doesn't think that, Elon Musk doesn't think that 308 00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:02.720 Donald Trump doesn't think that. They think they're experts and everything, and they 309 00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:07.720 surround themselves with people who are generally speaking, don't tell them that they're wrong 310 00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:11.880 about these things, or they should just be quiet. So to be clear, 311 00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:22.920 MSNBC gleefully had Bill Gates on their program to talk about vaccines. They 312 00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:29.920 gleefully pretended he was an expert on vaccines. Why because he paid for that. 313 00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:37.759 They gleefully have Donnie Deutsche on. Donny Deutsch sits and proclaims his opinion 314 00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:44.920 in all sorts of societal things, political and otherwise. Donny Deutsch is famous 315 00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:48.799 for what how did he get on that program? Donny Deutsch invented a very 316 00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:52.680 successful advertising agency, you know what, was called Deutsch. He sold it 317 00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:57.279 to one of the bigs. Donnie used his relationships with media because he placed 318 00:28:57.319 --> 00:29:03.160 a lot of media on MSNBC again on occasionally talk about advertising. Donnie's really 319 00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:04.880 good at it. He's clever, he's a good speaker, he's fun to 320 00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:11.119 listen to. He's aggravating because he is a liberal, and he's completely unmoored 321 00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:14.480 from the word of God, not tapped into the vine at all. Therefore 322 00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:18.440 realizes fully in his own wisdom. But this is what MSNBC does. But 323 00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:26.000 it's a myth when it comes to Elon Musk and this conversation continued on MSNBC. 324 00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:32.039 William Cohen now in this conversation with credential journalist Stephanie Ruhl. And it's 325 00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:34.759 not only because you know, Twix allows them to do that. They've been 326 00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:38.559 like this for a long time. I mean, you remember Bill Ackman in 327 00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:42.119 his herbal life fight. He put himself right at the center of that, 328 00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:45.880 got himself on CNBC in a big fight with Carl Icon. I mean, 329 00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:51.079 this is just a guy who likes the limelight and likes to be out there 330 00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:55.640 with his positions. And now you know, this platform X gives him, 331 00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:59.279 you know, unlimited amount of characters to do that, unfiltered by you. 332 00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:03.640 And I these people wait, wait, wait, unfiltered by you. Guys. 333 00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:10.279 Wow, I'm so glad that you have the credentials to filter us field 334 00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:15.000 of expertise right right. And that's what's amazing to me. And they face 335 00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:18.279 no consequences for the idiotic things that they say that have nothing to do with 336 00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:26.680 electric cars or investing. So Elon Musk looks at the border which doesn't exist. 337 00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:30.519 We have no southern border, and Elon Musk goes, wow, we 338 00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:37.240 don't have a southern border. And Elon Musk reads about the Mayor of New 339 00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:45.640 York handing out ten thousand dollars debit cards through a mobbed up fake bank, 340 00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:51.559 but it's minority owned. They're going to get the fifty three million dollars and 341 00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:55.920 make about seven million dollars for handing it out to illegal immigrants. We think 342 00:30:56.759 --> 00:30:59.920 since they don't have to perform they don't have to have getten any form of 343 00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:03.119 ID, they can simply have the debit cards and go spend it. And 344 00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:07.599 Elon Musk looks at that and says, this is insane. We don't have 345 00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:12.119 a border. We're incentivizing this. We want more illegal immigrants, and it 346 00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:17.599 has nothing to do with electric cars. He doesn't have the credentials to do 347 00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:22.240 this. What credentials do you have to say? He doesn't have the credentials 348 00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:26.279 necessarily to speak about this, you can go talk to Let me go find 349 00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:30.680 the least credentialed person I can find near me. Well, actually we're just 350 00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:34.039 in the TV studio and Christopher's doing the recorded Chris, he's credentialed in all 351 00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:40.480 things. All of us are credentialed to say. When you pay people to 352 00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:44.400 break the law and then you don't arrest him for breaking it, they're gonna 353 00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:49.839 do more of it. What credential do you have for that? Wisdom because 354 00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:56.079 I understand the sin problem, because I know that God didn't design us for 355 00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:59.759 such things. Because I know you shall not steal, this sounds like thieving. 356 00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:02.880 I know that you should not take from workers their wages. You should 357 00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:07.839 pay them their wages. This sounds like stealing the wages of New Yorkers to 358 00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:10.200 give to people who broke the lot to get there. That seems wrong. 359 00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:15.720 I can look at patterns. If I go to enough people and say I 360 00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:21.359 will pay you one thousand dollars to steal my car since I want a new 361 00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:23.160 card, I want to go to insurance, eventually someone's gonna go, oh, 362 00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:28.920 I'll steal your car for those bucks. We know this. There are 363 00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:34.519 things we know and we don't need credentials to know. Credentialism also allows us 364 00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:39.160 to relax into just absolute falsehoods. So let me ask you a question. 365 00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:44.680 Is there a social security lock box? Remember when Algory used to talk about 366 00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:49.319 the lock box? Does that exist? Is there a social security fund? 367 00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:55.759 No? Is there a fund? When a fund is bankrupt and you are 368 00:32:55.839 --> 00:33:02.519 now in a situation where it takes about twenty five working people to pay for 369 00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:08.440 the retirement of one retiree, is that sustainable. Does that sound like a 370 00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:13.039 pyramid scheme to you? In certainly, I'm not blaming the retirees other than 371 00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:16.279 people have continued to vote for people who pretend we have a Social Security fund? 372 00:33:17.079 --> 00:33:22.799 Do we have a federal reserve? No? Is chat GPT or a 373 00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:27.920 rather open API? The company that makes chet GPT? Is it worth eighty 374 00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:32.440 billion dollars? They say, so, they're letting their employees sell stock at 375 00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:36.759 that level. What are their revenues? They're not really clear on that. 376 00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:40.799 Does it make sense to purchase stock because other people are purchasing the stock? 377 00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:45.720 No? That sounds a lot like if your friends stuck a stick in their 378 00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:49.279 eye, would you do it? Yeah, it's very popular. Mom. 379 00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:52.960 All the kids are sticking sticks in their eyes when you're doing the because other 380 00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:57.559 kids stick their stick in their eyes. Retirement plan. That might work for 381 00:33:57.559 --> 00:34:04.880 a while, but what about when rationality comes back? If your portfolio five, 382 00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:09.039 ten, fifteen years from retirement is plugged in where forty percent of your 383 00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:14.119 money is going to five companies, can I tell you that's not risk management? 384 00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:17.559 If you've bought open API and you're up at this level and you're investing 385 00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:22.679 in this and great, get out or just buy and hold to what well 386 00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:28.920 the system are credentialed people have set up? Oh, I prefer to go 387 00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:31.960 with the truth teller. I use Capital Management. My friend Zach Abraham is 388 00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:36.400 the chief investment officer there.

That's eight six 401 00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:30.639 six seven seven nine risk, Borwick Capital Managements and investment advisor, Representative Truck 402 00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:37.880 Financial LLC, and sec red Shirt investment advisor, credentialism. It goes across 403 00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:45.480 all sorts of fields. Glenn Greenwald made a fascinating comment about CNN CNN. 404 00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:50.159 He said, how does CNN not know that this plot to kidnap or assassinate 405 00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:54.000 Juliana Shan by the CIA, who was reported several years ago by Michael Isikoffen 406 00:35:54.039 --> 00:36:00.039 team and then he links to it. But remember CNN their credential journalists. 407 00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:07.320 What is Assinger's argument for not being extradited to the US. There are several. 408 00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:10.280 One of them, at the most basic level, is that he has 409 00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:15.519 some mental health issues and a concern that he may take his life if he's 410 00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:20.880 moved to the US to face trial. Another is that this is politically motivated. 411 00:36:20.960 --> 00:36:24.199 He was just a journalist doing his job, so it would breach his 412 00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:30.639 human rights if he was transferred to the US. Quite extraordinary claim now coming 413 00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:36.079 in just in the last hour or so that his lawyers are presented to the 414 00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:40.199 court. Obviously we need to investigate this further. But this is all presented 415 00:36:40.199 --> 00:36:45.719 in open court. According to Assange's lawyer, there is compelling evidence now in 416 00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:52.559 existence that senior CIA and US administration officials requested a detailed set of plans and 417 00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:58.360 drawings of the embassy, the ecuador In embassy or remember he was holed up 418 00:36:58.400 --> 00:37:04.440 in for all of that time. And they are suggesting the President Trump at 419 00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:08.599 the time himself requested options and sketches were even drawn up. When we're talking 420 00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:14.280 about options, the legal team is basically suggesting that there was evidence of a 421 00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:22.360 CIA plot to kidnap or assassinate Julian Assange. These are extraordinary claims. Well, 422 00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:24.840 there are a lot of new details coming out. Again, those accusations 423 00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:30.760 have to be verified and looked through. New claims. Oh, but they're 424 00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:36.599 not new, they're several years old. Glenn Greenwald points it out now. 425 00:37:36.599 --> 00:37:42.400 But Glenn is no longer a credential journalist. He's not. He no longer 426 00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:47.920 works at the Intercept, the publication he co founded. He got kicked out 427 00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:54.039 why because he wrote a piece criticizing the media for hiding the Hunter Biden story. 428 00:37:54.159 --> 00:38:00.440 So they took his credentials. But what's his body of work? No 429 00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:07.719 one has written more and more than more correct about the US intelligent services global 430 00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:13.639 intelligent services than Glenn Greenwald. After all, he's broke story after story that 431 00:38:13.679 --> 00:38:19.239 has changed all of our knowledge about what the intelligent services do and mean. 432 00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:24.159 Now, I'm not a doctor, so I have do not have the credentials 433 00:38:24.239 --> 00:38:32.239 to say it might not be a good idea to work with China to make 434 00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:40.920 bird flus more infectious, but you are don't worry. These are credentialed scientists 435 00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:47.519 who are working with the Chinese Communist Party to make bird flus more infectious because 436 00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:51.519 that's what the credential people said is a good idea, and after all, 437 00:38:51.559 --> 00:38:59.440 they're doctors and scientists. Credentialism sometimes completely empty, as in the case of 438 00:38:59.559 --> 00:39:06.239 doctor Jackson. There's no actual credential not when your dissertation was a survey of 439 00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:13.679 twenty five groups puffed up into sixty pages of racial harassment of white people. 440 00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:19.960 That's what it is. Sometimes the credentials are real, but so is the 441 00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:23.360 ego. As we'll learned today in the video of the Day, I told 442 00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:27.960 you about this. Those of you who are on the video service, you're 443 00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:32.280 going to see some kids. They look like eleven year old girls. It's 444 00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:37.400 that the greatest video quality. But we did what we could, so's pay 445 00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:40.039 special attention to this. If you're not yet on the video service, you 446 00:39:40.079 --> 00:39:45.239 can get there by going to video dot the Todd Herman Show dot com. 447 00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:50.480 Doing While my mom is meeting with the woman in her mom's group, I'm 448 00:39:50.519 --> 00:39:54.199 gonna be hanging out with their daughters. Oh don't die. No. Jazz 449 00:39:54.239 --> 00:39:58.400 to me is such an inspiration because like, growing up, I didn't really 450 00:39:58.440 --> 00:40:02.599 have like an advocate when that I look to like as a transgender like role 451 00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:07.280 model, and happy bad Jazz is sharing what happened to her and her complications 452 00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:15.000 because she has been so honest with everyone for so long, Like why hy 453 00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:17.119 this? Okay? So when are you getting your surgery? About a year 454 00:40:17.159 --> 00:40:21.719 from now? What about you, Charlie. So I'm looking to do my 455 00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:25.599 surgery probably after I graduate high school because school is just really hard, Like 456 00:40:25.920 --> 00:40:30.880 people were like bullying me, Like people will call me and like threaten me. 457 00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:34.840 So it's just a lot right now to like tackle on all that and 458 00:40:34.880 --> 00:40:37.960 then like a surgery on top of it. You guys know that I've just 459 00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:42.079 got my surgery. How are you feeling? So this is an older video 460 00:40:42.159 --> 00:40:47.719 because Jazz did not just get his surgery, and Jazz also at that point 461 00:40:49.039 --> 00:40:54.679 is not sixty pounds heavier. Bad things happen when you flood a male body 462 00:40:55.000 --> 00:41:01.559 with estrogen. Jazz is also apparently desperately pressed. But the boys dressed like 463 00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:10.440 girls. There. They's seventeen and fifteen and they look eleven. The credentialed 464 00:41:10.519 --> 00:41:17.119 experts have told us that puberty blockers are reversible. Puberty is not just about 465 00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:22.760 genitalia. It's about intellect. Your mind grows during that period of time. 466 00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:28.719 But the credentialed experts have told us that's not important. The credentialed experts have 467 00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:32.880 told us that puberty is a disease. They've told that to mothers like this, 468 00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:37.360 you're starting the process and she just wants a vagina right now. She's 469 00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:40.679 blocked early off. So yes, yeah, this is like the new wave 470 00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:47.559 of kid Yeah, oh oh wow. The network of moms has been everything. 471 00:41:47.840 --> 00:41:52.800 You don't feel as alone. You have a level of confidence in your 472 00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:55.960 decisions when you have this tribe. Oh this is the perfect time for jo 473 00:41:57.039 --> 00:42:00.960 Oh yes, but I have to be you know, straightfor and honest that 474 00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:06.960 I am very afraid and nervous and scared about Nicole having a surgery next year. 475 00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:15.400 So how's your daughter doing? Those are women enjoying cocktails. They look 476 00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:19.320 like Manhattan's, by the way, very tasty. Understand it's good with pasta. 477 00:42:19.400 --> 00:42:24.480 I don't eat pasta. I don't rink Manhattans slurping on the alcohol juice 478 00:42:24.960 --> 00:42:30.480 as they're talking about having an eighteen inch gash sliced between the legs of their 479 00:42:30.519 --> 00:42:35.400 son, their testicles removed, thrown away, by the way, the skin 480 00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:40.199 of the testicle then inverted and made into a fake labia. The lining of 481 00:42:40.239 --> 00:42:50.679 that wound is often filled with intestinal tissue, and funny thing, the intestinal 482 00:42:50.679 --> 00:42:55.760 tissue stinks. It's not a self lubricating wound. It's not self cleaning. 483 00:42:57.639 --> 00:43:02.079 That's the miraculous thing about the female body, well many miraculous things. God 484 00:43:02.159 --> 00:43:07.159 designed the vagina to be self lubricating and self cleaning. Not so an eighteen 485 00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:14.639 inch wound which is going to get infected time and time again. And as 486 00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:19.840 you probably know, those boys will have to insert a wedge shaped like an 487 00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:22.920 axe into that wound for the rest of their lives lest it close up. 488 00:43:24.239 --> 00:43:31.480 Because it's just that it's a wound. But I'm not a doctor. Who 489 00:43:31.519 --> 00:43:37.199 am I to say that's a bad idea? Who am I to say the 490 00:43:37.280 --> 00:43:43.519 Hippocratic Code was a good idea first, you know, harm Father God, 491 00:43:43.559 --> 00:43:50.199 please please please have mercy in a nation that's turned itself from You into empty 492 00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:54.119 credentialism instead of fearing You, which is the beginning of true wisdom. This 493 00:43:54.159 --> 00:43:57.880 is the Todd Hermannshaw. Please go, be well, be strong, be 494 00:43:58.000 --> 00:44:07.199 kind, and please make every to be right with God. H
