1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:07,879 When people show you who they are through demonstrations of behavior, believe them. 2 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:12,919 I mean, it's not taking them at their word. It's watching their behaviors 3 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,039 and sitting back and going, okay, you will know them by their fruits. 4 00:00:18,359 --> 00:00:22,760 So they're coming from the water. They have been for a long time. 5 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,800 There have been many, many attempts to this. Some of them are 6 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:32,200 near misses. For instance, in the western part of the Separate Country of 7 00:00:32,359 --> 00:00:36,439 Washington State, they made an attempt to come for rural water. In fact, 8 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:42,079 for a while it was illegal to dig a well on your land. 9 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:49,719 They actually got that through the so called Supreme Court illegal. They just discovered 10 00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:54,920 this, darn the luck, you can't have water now. The legislature had 11 00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:00,200 to act because they got caught. They also made other attempts like this. 12 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,920 This is again the western part of the Separate Country of sout But remember this. 13 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,680 Everything they tried to do to ruin the country is tried in that lab 14 00:01:07,799 --> 00:01:14,200 or the laboratory of the Separate Country of California. They came after rural landowners 15 00:01:14,519 --> 00:01:19,159 who had septic fields or sometimes are called septic tanks. They're not really tanks, 16 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:25,439 but septic fields. In that case, they said that people living, 17 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:33,040 say, fifty miles from the ocean, we're polluting the ocean with a septic 18 00:01:33,079 --> 00:01:38,519 field. Now, a well done, properly made septic field filters the waste 19 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,879 water within about thirteen feet to the point that it's drinkable. I didn't say 20 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:51,879 it's tasty or it's tasty to think about, but it's purified on the So 21 00:01:51,959 --> 00:01:53,920 they went at them and said, you can't do this, We're going to 22 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:59,560 have to find you extra money, et cetera. But in downtown Seattle, 23 00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:07,000 where people forgive me, defecate on the streets so badly that fish in Puget 24 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:12,680 Sound are coming up positive for heroin in their fatty tissues, they didn't do 25 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,120 anything. Now it's getting real. The World Economic Form had said that, 26 00:02:17,199 --> 00:02:23,599 hey, let's use water as the crisis point. In California and Idaho, 27 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:29,120 farmers are seeing their water threatened. There is a move to turn off the 28 00:02:29,159 --> 00:02:31,960 water for farmers and ranchers in Idaho. And since I've been talking about this 29 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:38,560 even lightly, I've heard from farmers in Idaho. We'll talk about this as 30 00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:44,360 well as a check in on U turns. The new cultural sign of homophobia 31 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:51,360 finally being torn down in cities across America. Thank you for noticing the racism, 32 00:02:51,479 --> 00:02:55,919 Pardon me homophobia, pardon me transphobia of U turns. We'll do this 33 00:02:55,960 --> 00:03:00,879 with the help of our YouTube channel YouTube dot com, slash at the Todd 34 00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:05,360 Herman Show, free video clips, and our opportunity to reach more young people. 35 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,120 Thank you God Almighty that we haven't yet been canceled from YouTube, although 36 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:15,879 I'm sure that's gonna happen. The Todd Herman Show is one hundred percent disapproved 37 00:03:15,879 --> 00:03:24,000 by big farmer, technocrats and tyrants everywhere from the high mountains of Free America. 38 00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:39,120 Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman. Today is a day the Lord 39 00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:43,439 has made in These are the times to which God has decided we shall live. 40 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,759 Pardon me for being late logging onto the live chats area. Good morning 41 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,080 everybody. If you're watching in there listening later, we love you equally. 42 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,960 You can be involved in the live stuff again video dot The Todd Herman Show 43 00:03:54,400 --> 00:04:00,840 dot com. Some farmers in Idaho are finding out that though the drought is 44 00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:05,759 over, and what I'm hearing from farmers is the reservoirs are full. What 45 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:11,639 I'm hearing from farming families is they knew they were going to refill. What 46 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,680 I'm hearing from farming families is the bureaucrats don't want to talk to them about 47 00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:19,560 why there's this water curtailment move. It's the same thing I've heard now from 48 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:26,360 farmers in California. They're saying the same thing. In California, there is 49 00:04:26,399 --> 00:04:32,839 a decrepit series of pipes and drainage systems that waste, according to some statistics, 50 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,800 up to seventy percent of water. Because, of course, you can't 51 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:44,040 be concentrating on infrastructure and bolstering the pipes through which water flows when you're busy 52 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,439 painting intersections into rainbow colors and investigating people who burn out over them, or 53 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:53,759 of course, empowering schools to steal children, or all the other things California 54 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:58,639 does. Why be bothered with infrastructure when that's not what your game is? 55 00:04:58,959 --> 00:05:01,439 Your game, of course, oceans and feelings, plus never let a good 56 00:05:01,439 --> 00:05:08,040 crisis go to waste. Being able to claim that the water is short when 57 00:05:08,079 --> 00:05:12,639 in fact it's leaking through these decrepit pipes simply adds to the momentum for more 58 00:05:12,639 --> 00:05:16,079 government control, more government taxation. Same thing is true in the separate country 59 00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:19,199 of Washington. I don't know that it's true about the infrastructure, but I 60 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:28,160 know this. When a government facility just dumped about five hundred million gallons of 61 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:34,199 raw sewage into Puget Sounds, no one paid a fine. However, when 62 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:43,399 commercial fishermen accidentally had sewage leak off of their boats, sometimes that resulted in 63 00:05:43,519 --> 00:05:46,600 fines up to a level where their boats could be seized to pay those fines. 64 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:53,680 That wasn't five hundred million gallons. It was maybe five hundred. So 65 00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:58,240 there is an effort to go after the water because of course it's a precious 66 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,120 resource. And let's just pay attention some things. The same people who tell 67 00:06:02,199 --> 00:06:10,279 us that carbon dioxide is a terrible, terrible, dangerous gas that's literally poisoning 68 00:06:10,319 --> 00:06:15,720 the children are the same people who tell us that your gas stove in your 69 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,800 home, your natural gas stove in your home in let's say, Bozeman, 70 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:28,199 Montana, is leading to children in the bronx black kids getting asthma. They're 71 00:06:28,199 --> 00:06:31,360 the same people who tell us about that terrible gas poison, carbon dioxide. 72 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,720 They're the ones who are investing billions and hundreds of billions of dollars in order 73 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:45,439 to take it out of the air, sequester it, hoard it, and 74 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,680 then use it to make products and to sell it to us. Well, 75 00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:56,319 what are they going to do with the water in the separate country of Washington. 76 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,560 For some time it was illegal to store rainwater. Why Well, because 77 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,079 of course during rain water, we'd take it out of circulation for everybody else. 78 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:10,240 Now you can have arguments, in fact, they're decent arguments. What 79 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,519 happens when you've got all this bottle water sitting around and it's not being recirculated 80 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,279 and it's not being evaporated and filtered in that way. Those are great arguments, 81 00:07:17,279 --> 00:07:21,600 fun to have. But what you can't do is pretend that our society 82 00:07:21,639 --> 00:07:27,040 can exist without food. It can't, and food can't work without water. 83 00:07:27,439 --> 00:07:33,759 But this isn't about having access to food. It's about certain companies having access 84 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:41,560 to the carbon dioxide sequestered, to the ability to use natural gas, to 85 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:46,240 the ability to have enough water, the ability How could you get to the 86 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:53,680 ability because you're talking about the government, the single government, because this is 87 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:59,240 global, it's not just localized to the United States. So it is happening 88 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,759 in Idaho. This video went viral, and I guess we've referenced it, 89 00:08:03,839 --> 00:08:05,639 and I put it in clips, and I've done it on my national radio 90 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,800 program during the weekdays, and this is where I've heard from farmers from around 91 00:08:09,839 --> 00:08:13,519 the country, mostly in Idaho and Oregon. Here's what's happening today. I 92 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:18,199 wanted to talk about what's going on in Idaho because some of you have probably 93 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:24,879 heard about this, But the state of Idaho has put a water curtailment order, 94 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:31,759 which is basically a water shutoff order on literally a half million acres of 95 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,960 farmland. That's a lot of potatoes a lot of these farmers, and this 96 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:41,840 impacts about six four hundred water users. But a lot of these farmers that 97 00:08:41,879 --> 00:08:48,000 are farming this land have already invested thousands of acres thousands of dollars per acre 98 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:54,200 to grow potatoes. When you make these investments in this land, it's not 99 00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:58,480 just quote just the land. You have to be able to harvest the land. 100 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,720 You have to have the equipment to take care that. You have drainage, 101 00:09:01,759 --> 00:09:05,559 you have irrigation, you have people, you have storage methodologies. You've 102 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:13,159 often leveraged your land into a mortgage that's sometimes recycled. Often farmers operate every 103 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:18,720 single year on leverage. So it's not like you or I starting a small 104 00:09:18,759 --> 00:09:26,120 business. There's massive, massive instructure in this and this curtailment order in the 105 00:09:26,159 --> 00:09:30,720 state of Idaho. The Republican governor here, Brad Little, has said there's 106 00:09:30,759 --> 00:09:35,480 nothing he can do about it. Yes there is. Brad Little could be 107 00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:41,720 on TV in the next five minutes if he wanted to. He could be 108 00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:45,759 in front of the Quarterline Press, one of the biggest, well the biggest 109 00:09:45,799 --> 00:09:50,960 newspaper in North Idaho with one of the biggest websites today. He could get 110 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,840 into the Spokesman Review, which is the largest of the regionally circulated news organs 111 00:09:56,879 --> 00:10:01,639 here today, on any the news channels that serve the Northern Idaho area. 112 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,000 In Boise, they have local TV news. He could walk into the studio 113 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,039 into any of the stations and beyond today and he could talk about the water 114 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,960 curtailment. He could demand action from the legislature, because if the people of 115 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,759 Idaho actually knew this was going on in mass it would stop. Brad Little 116 00:10:18,799 --> 00:10:26,320 doesn't want to do anything. Why why should he? There's no focus on 117 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,840 it, There's no political cost to be paid right now. Same thing is 118 00:10:30,879 --> 00:10:33,960 true in California, but with a different dynamic. Of course. Gavin Newsom 119 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:39,720 is happy to pretend the waters in tremendously short supply and not talk about the 120 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,679 infrastructure that has made that true. The video continues. Good morning everyone. 121 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,759 My name's Trevor Bell Knapp. I operate a family farm, a fifth generation 122 00:10:48,879 --> 00:10:52,879 family farm in the Snake River Valley of Eastern Idaho. I just wanted to 123 00:10:52,919 --> 00:10:56,080 visit with you for a minute about the impacts of the water curtailment order that's 124 00:10:56,080 --> 00:11:00,919 been issued by Director Weaver from that of Department of Water Resources. The situation 125 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:05,600 which we find ourselves is about as bad as it gets. Not only will 126 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,080 we be out of business, many other businesses will be highly impacted, and 127 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,879 you, as my friends and neighbors, will also be impacted because we're so 128 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,200 interconnected. If the ag economy in Eastern Idaho fails, which it surely will, 129 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,279 if this contailment order is in play, it can remain in place, 130 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,320 will dry up and blow away, just like it did back in the dust 131 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:33,120 bowl of the thirties. Banks will fail, Equipment dealers, car dealers, 132 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,159 gas stations, grocery stores all rely on the ag economy that's here in Eastern 133 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:43,080 Idaho. The children in our schools, how many of them belong to families 134 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:50,279 who work in some form of ag industry in eastern Idaho. It's horrible and 135 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,679 we need to fix it. So who's going to fix it? Well, 136 00:11:54,679 --> 00:12:00,960 if you compare what's going on in corporate farming, just keeping mind what we're 137 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,600 talking about here in terms of scale, there are devices. They're expensive, 138 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:11,799 but they exist from which with which you can make fresh water from the air. 139 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:16,559 There's been a device for sale in Australia forever that it actually just takes 140 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:22,200 the moisture out of the air and fills up tanks with fresh water. Of 141 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,799 course, there's desalination techniques, which is where you take seawater, desalinate it 142 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:33,639 make it into fresh water. But who can afford that? The same entities 143 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:43,200 who can afford to build sky scraper sized buildings where they grow food horizontally, 144 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,000 not vertically. They grow it in a lab, not through the land. 145 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:52,480 They pipe in carbon dioxide that's been sequestered from the rest of us. They 146 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:58,360 pipe it into the buildings so the plant growth is supercharged. Then they do 147 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:03,200 what's called vertical integration. So I'm said they're growing it vertically, not horizontically. 148 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:09,960 Vertical integration is this They've got all the food stuffs growing in these great 149 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,039 big factories, all the carbon dioxide. They're the ones who can afford to 150 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:18,559 pay the bills to have access to the water. Then they take the plant 151 00:13:18,879 --> 00:13:26,840 stuff and make fake meat, and they use downward pressure from government, like 152 00:13:26,879 --> 00:13:30,600 they're doing in New York to say we're going to have two days a week 153 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,519 where there ain't no meat on the menu. Why, well, because meat 154 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:41,679 is killing children? It is yeah, wow, So a pure food as 155 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:46,159 designed by God for us to eat or to have dominion over the animals in 156 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,120 a broken sin state. Yet being carnivorous is part of this. Blood is 157 00:13:50,159 --> 00:13:58,039 part of this that's bad for you. But plastic meat ate the other part 158 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,440 of it is from top down, bottom up. Now, my daughter's a 159 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,320 vegan. It's an ethical choice she makes. I support her decision to do 160 00:14:03,399 --> 00:14:07,000 that. I'm not wild about it nutritionally, it's hard to be really healthy 161 00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:15,799 as a vegan. But I support her principles because they're hers or are they? 162 00:14:15,919 --> 00:14:20,360 Has she been taught by the culture to value animals this much? Now 163 00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:24,480 I've had this conversation. You don't prevent an animal from dying when you don't 164 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,159 eat them. You simply choose well, you don't choose, but you lessen 165 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,679 the chance that they're dying. And say, in a factory, if I 166 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,399 were an animal, I'd far rather be killed with a captive bolt gun bolt 167 00:14:35,399 --> 00:14:37,919 gun than eaten by wolves over a period of hours. How about you. 168 00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:43,480 So you have the skyscrapers built, you have the carbon dioxide sequestered, you 169 00:14:43,519 --> 00:14:48,480 have access to the water. Natural gas has been made impossible to get for 170 00:14:48,759 --> 00:14:52,000 normal people. It's just electricity. So all of a sudden, there's all 171 00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:58,679 sorts of natural gas available. Or turbo diesel. What's that? Turbo diesel 172 00:14:58,759 --> 00:15:03,279 is a product made with carbon dioxide. You know what else is made with 173 00:15:03,279 --> 00:15:07,120 carbon dioxide? According to a patent held by Bill Gates and others, protein, 174 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,679 Yes, a questioned carbon dioxide. Simply the molecule's rearrange. And look 175 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,080 at that. You have protein goo to go into your fake meat. So 176 00:15:18,159 --> 00:15:26,080 the play is this make water impossible for the real farmers to get, go 177 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:31,159 and seize their land in Midwest for carbon dioxide sequestering pipelines, make natural gas 178 00:15:31,159 --> 00:15:37,759 impossibly difficult for people to get. And insert the bird flu, which they're 179 00:15:37,759 --> 00:15:43,960 doing now. Yeah, the bird flu indicates that ranchers in America are going 180 00:15:43,039 --> 00:15:48,000 to have to start calling to herd, not selling cattle, but killing it. 181 00:15:48,519 --> 00:15:52,200 They're floating that more from this video about what's going on in Idaho, 182 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,000 which is also going on in California. And I would propose to you that 183 00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:02,559 it is not a water problem. It's a management problem them because we have 184 00:16:02,679 --> 00:16:07,279 water. Reservoirs are full, the mountains are covered in snow, the river 185 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,879 has been flowing. Well, so why now, why after we've planted our 186 00:16:11,919 --> 00:16:15,600 crops, we have crops in the ground, they're already growing. Now in 187 00:16:15,639 --> 00:16:19,440 the middle of June, they pull a cartail in order to say you must 188 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:26,200 cease pumping water. The cost is huge. An acre potatoes costs upward of 189 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,279 four thousand dollars an acre to grow. How will that ever be recovered? 190 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:36,320 They will not grow without water? And what will that do to everyone else? 191 00:16:36,639 --> 00:16:41,279 This reliant upon us in this area and the state of Idaho. What 192 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:47,440 will the counties do for roads and bridges, police departments, ambulances, hospitals 193 00:16:47,639 --> 00:16:52,759 that rely on tax the tax base. Property like this will become worthless without 194 00:16:52,799 --> 00:16:57,879 water. The land doesn't have any value here. Brad Little, the governor 195 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,879 of Idaho, is using the same excuse. The same flimsy, flaccid excuse 196 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:08,400 that the sellout Christinome used in South Dakota. There's nothing I can do. 197 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:17,279 I'm very busy getting plastic surgery and have my lips blown up, although I'm 198 00:17:17,279 --> 00:17:22,519 already photogenic, because I'm auditioning to be VP, and there's a look I 199 00:17:22,559 --> 00:17:27,160 need to achieve, so I don't only have time to care about your family 200 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:34,480 farms being stolen by international investors from China and Korea. I can't do anything, 201 00:17:36,799 --> 00:17:40,799 but I can go on TV in addition to BVP. I can travel 202 00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:45,759 to Wisconsin to get the female vote out. I can ride through rodeos. 203 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:51,160 I can give speeches and pretend that I'm so all about property rights. If 204 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,079 you're in Idaho or you're in the states that surrounded, understand this isn't going 205 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,519 to be localized to Idaho. If you are in Idaho, it suggests that 206 00:17:57,599 --> 00:18:03,359 you begin putting political presure on your representatives. Tell them you know about the 207 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:08,480 water curtailment, tell them you know that the legislature has more power than bureaucrats, 208 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,000 and would be a good idea to give Brad Little a phone call to 209 00:18:14,079 --> 00:18:18,000 let them know that you're tracking this, that there are things that you can 210 00:18:18,039 --> 00:18:25,680 do and that you know that if you're in California, Well, sorry, 211 00:18:25,799 --> 00:18:32,319 you're in California. What do you do there? I don't know. Move. 212 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,480 Can't move your farm, though, can you. The fact is this, 213 00:18:37,319 --> 00:18:42,160 in so many ways, we're on our own until a parallel economy rises. 214 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,440 Now, parallel economies are hard to do because it's really hard to go 215 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,960 out and build your own water infrastructure. But there are things that we can 216 00:18:49,039 --> 00:18:56,119 do that communicate consumer choice. For instance, this you can choose to buy, 217 00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,759 say an air what filter you can buy? I have the machine, 218 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,799 but you're not really buying it. I'm pointing if you're watching video, because 219 00:19:03,799 --> 00:19:06,759 there's one sitting right there. In fact, I could throw a cat at 220 00:19:06,759 --> 00:19:08,599 it and hit it. If we were to turn that on, it would 221 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,559 be too loud for us to do the broadcast. If we were to turn 222 00:19:11,599 --> 00:19:15,759 that on while we're gone, I would have to write a check for two 223 00:19:15,799 --> 00:19:18,480 to four hundred bucks per year to replace the filters in that thing. We 224 00:19:18,559 --> 00:19:23,759 can't use while the show is on. And as point of comparison, about 225 00:19:23,799 --> 00:19:29,480 three feet from that air filter, there's an air cleanser that is almost completely 226 00:19:29,519 --> 00:19:33,680 silent and is as we speak producing ozone. So what that means is the 227 00:19:34,279 --> 00:19:40,119 sixty four ounces of caffeinated coffee I've had this morning from bone Frog. I'm 228 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,000 blowing that out. I'm exhaling it. But Nana, who sits from me 229 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:45,799 far enough away that I could throw a cocker spaniel it hitter. No, 230 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,359 I'm talking about throwing pets this morning. I'm not going to throw a cocker 231 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:53,519 spaniel at you. She doesn't have to put up with coffee breath. Because 232 00:19:53,559 --> 00:20:00,880 the three that's ozone from the oxy leaf to Thunderstorm from e pure deals dot 233 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:06,319 com. It produces ozone, which bonds to the molecules that make bad smells 234 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,960 and it neutralizes them. See it's not a filter. Every now and then 235 00:20:11,079 --> 00:20:14,960 we can wipe the thing off with a cloth, although we don't have pets 236 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,839 up here, so they don't need to do that. So you can choose 237 00:20:17,839 --> 00:20:21,759 this for your home. In fact, you get a pet stink guarantee if 238 00:20:21,759 --> 00:20:26,839 your pets reek just keep them reaking, don't even bother change in the litter 239 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,839 boxes, don't even bother bathing your hound dogs. Just to install a bunch 240 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,240 of oxy leaf two's around the house and our house will still smell like thunderstorm. 241 00:20:34,599 --> 00:20:37,960 Even if you don't change the litter boxes, but do change them. 242 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,640 Hygienics are hygienics. Here's the deal. You can have whole home coverage three 243 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:47,839 of these devices and save two hundred bucks.

Eatinpure deals dot Com code todd three to save 247 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:06,359 two hundred bucks on whole home coverage. I said, the World Economic Forum, 248 00:21:06,519 --> 00:21:08,079 and I said, the bosses from the top have been planning this. 249 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:15,880 They're subtle in this statement. This is one of the agenda contributors, Marianna 250 00:21:15,279 --> 00:21:21,400 Mazacato. That's a cool name. She is subtle. But if you listen 251 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,480 through the lines, kind of understand where this is all headed. What of 252 00:21:23,519 --> 00:21:26,440 our colleagues had said, I gotta find the clip. Well, what of 253 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,759 our colleagues had pointed to the fact that they failed to get us to do 254 00:21:30,799 --> 00:21:33,359 the right thing for the common good with the COVID lockdowns and with the fifteen 255 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:37,440 minute cities, but water, what we all need water. If water is 256 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,599 as urgent of a problem as some of the top climate scientists like Johann have 257 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,880 been telling us, by the way for many years, we're just starting to 258 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,519 listen. Now, how do we turn it a into an urgent problem? 259 00:21:48,559 --> 00:21:52,119 And the numbers are quite astounding. We might come back to some of the 260 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,400 other numbers that you talked about this morning, which are quite shocking, but 261 00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:00,400 also an intersectual problem. We shouldn't see water as a sector, but common 262 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,599 good means it has to be seen as cross sectorally, across many different kind 263 00:22:03,599 --> 00:22:11,000 of solutions, across sectors as different as nutrition and construction everything. But also 264 00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:14,319 in terms of coming back to the new economic thinking, it means seeing the 265 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,880 role of government which is so important. It's not the only actor, but 266 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,839 as a key actor, as a market co creator and a market shaper in 267 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,960 the system. So the policies themselves need to be framed in terms of shaping 268 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,440 and not market fixing because that's just going to patch up the system. And 269 00:22:29,559 --> 00:22:32,319 central to that and I know termin will talk more about it, it really 270 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,680 is this kind of getting rid of this public private divide. This is going 271 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:40,200 to require huge amounts of collaboration, huge amounts of co investment and finance and 272 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,119 how to actually design that with a common good lens is one of the really 273 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,799 innovative things that this group is going to provide a common good lens to make 274 00:22:48,839 --> 00:22:59,519 the water crisis or crisis like, got it. Jason Vandercooing great, longtime 275 00:22:59,599 --> 00:23:03,039 friend of the show. He's been on our show a couple times. Fascinating 276 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:07,839 dude, first responder, He's a farmer, he is an adoptive parent. 277 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,519 He's in the live chat this morning. You can join this at video dot 278 00:23:11,559 --> 00:23:14,240 the Todd Hermann Show dot com and get a seven day free trial for the 279 00:23:14,319 --> 00:23:15,599 video service and you can see what it's like to hang out with people during 280 00:23:15,599 --> 00:23:18,440 the show. Jason Vanderkuen knows what he's talking about. He writes in the 281 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:29,279 live chat natural gas is needed for nitrogen fertilizer production. Huh. That's interesting. 282 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,920 So as they're banning natural gas for the rest of us, this is 283 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,839 what the figurehead intends to do. They're doing it in the separate country of 284 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:42,039 Washington State. Natural gases needed to create nitrogen fertilized production. But wait a 285 00:23:42,039 --> 00:23:47,039 minute, they're telling farmers in the Netherlands and elsewhere and ranchers. You use 286 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,559 too much nitrogen fertilizer, You're gonna have to stop that. Who can afford 287 00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:57,960 to formulate that stuff in skyscrape precise buildings where they have built vertical integration. 288 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,039 Answer there. The carbon dioxide is there, the water is there. The 289 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:08,279 processing machines to turn that all into fake meat is there. The lobbying efforts 290 00:24:08,839 --> 00:24:15,359 to force us to eat fake meat is there, including and you watch as 291 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,319 they get better and better and better at the fake meat stuff. You watch 292 00:24:18,039 --> 00:24:22,079 sooner or later they'll go to a labeling law where you're not allowed to label 293 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,400 this. John Caldwell, this is John from Alan Soapius. Allen's dad points 294 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:33,200 out a byproduct of desalination is renewable lithium. Well, that's interesting as well, 295 00:24:33,279 --> 00:24:37,880 because lithium, of course is needed for these car batteries as everything is 296 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,319 turning over to electric and Jason adds this in the chat room. The endgame 297 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,960 is to turn water into a commodity, just like oil, right, a 298 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:52,160 commodity they own and we buy if we can afford it. See, the 299 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,960 game is always this, The problem is always our freedom. The solution is 300 00:24:56,039 --> 00:25:02,039 always controlled for them. If you look at all how the piece is aligned. 301 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:07,960 Let's go back to our good friend powder recognition. They're building bottlenecks of 302 00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:12,519 power. Well, the only solution, after all, is really really efficient 303 00:25:12,599 --> 00:25:18,000 farming. I mean, it's sad. Family farms were great when we had 304 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:25,480 enough water, when we didn't know that natural gas was poisoning bipock kids in 305 00:25:25,519 --> 00:25:30,799 the Bronx New York, when we didn't understand that were literally killing the planet 306 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:36,240 by having combines. Go about these farms. After all, we have an 307 00:25:36,279 --> 00:25:40,599 overpopulation issue. We can't have all this land being used for farms. We 308 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,599 may need it for affordable housing. It's too bad. But really what we 309 00:25:44,799 --> 00:25:47,640 can do is count on efficient farming. After all, this is what the 310 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,039 science says. I mean, we recognize it. It's sad. But the 311 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:56,119 farmers they could learn to code. So these big skyscraper buildings that are being 312 00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:02,200 built, well, there are only way out of this, just like the 313 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,920 injections were only way out. Just like the only thing to do with a 314 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:11,519 gender confused child is surgery and hormones. Just like the only way to have 315 00:26:11,599 --> 00:26:18,079 fair voting is to not check ID. It's bottlenecks, it's kill shoots. 316 00:26:18,839 --> 00:26:22,799 It's a good friend pattern recognition. Now, I don't know why more people 317 00:26:22,839 --> 00:26:29,319 in conservative media aren't comfortable saying things like this, aren't comfortable getting ahead of 318 00:26:29,319 --> 00:26:33,440 things like this. I kind of guess it's because they're afraid of someone coming 319 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:34,880 back and saying, Hey, you made a prediction and you were wrong. 320 00:26:36,599 --> 00:26:38,880 I would love to be wrong about this. Wouldn't you love me to be 321 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:44,359 wrong? Sadly? I don't think I am. If you track culture, 322 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,680 and you track the results of what people have been taught in culture from the 323 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,680 pavailing culture, you can find all sorts of instances where there are accidental awakenings. 324 00:26:53,599 --> 00:26:57,240 That's happening at a coffee shop, and it's indicative of things that the 325 00:26:57,319 --> 00:27:02,240 left has been telling people for years. The clichet is have your cake and 326 00:27:02,319 --> 00:27:04,519 eat it too, or free lunch, or someone else is gonna pay. 327 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,359 I'll show you this in a second. Since we're talking about water, I 328 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:14,960 should alert you to something. Do you commonly get headaches or feel extra tired? 329 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,279 Do you commonly find yourself like with muscle soreness? You could be among 330 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:25,559 the seventy five percent of Americans who are chronically dehydrated. Let me add to 331 00:27:25,559 --> 00:27:26,960 the puzzle. Are you like me and you drink a ton of coffee. 332 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:32,960 I had sixty four ounces of caffeinated beverages this morning.

A coffee 349 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:48,319 shop employee is a sign of something that's going on in the United States culturally. 350 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:56,519 It's parts pretend grown up, part pretend child. So some group of 351 00:28:56,519 --> 00:29:02,400 employees decided that they would vote to u unionize at a place called OCF Coffee 352 00:29:02,599 --> 00:29:06,880 in Philadelphia. Incidentally, this coffee shop is not owned by people who are 353 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,960 coffee entrepreneurs. They're entrepreneurs. But as you listen to the news piece, 354 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,279 listen to what kind of entrepreneurs they are. I are okay, fine, 355 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,599 we all see gray. Former employees of OCF Coffee House rallied outside of the 356 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:26,559 now closed Fairmount Cafe on Tuesday. We've been paid really bad wages and this 357 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,440 is just this was our attempt to get better wages and like make the place 358 00:29:29,519 --> 00:29:33,400 that we love better. The coffee shops are owned by OCF Realty. The 359 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,880 real estate brokerage announced the closures to employees in an email, which included two 360 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,319 other locations in South Philly. Workers like Alex Simpson say they were shocked. 361 00:29:41,559 --> 00:29:47,640 I am pretty crushed, especially when it's such a blatant response to our union 362 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:52,920 process like this comes a week after we publicly announced our union, a week 363 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,640 after we publicly announced that we're going to use our right and it is their 364 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:03,640 right to unionize, that we're going to raise our own wages create more time 365 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,720 off for us. Not paying attention to the fact that that business, the 366 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:14,559 company that owns this is a real estate brokerage firm. Now, I don't 367 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,960 contend that every young person should track back to the characteristics of an ownership group, 368 00:30:19,559 --> 00:30:23,680 right what is their actual business? I simply point this out that a 369 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,240 real estate brokerage firm, if they're having coffee shops, is probably just, 370 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,920 hey, how can we have some cash flow to neutralize some cost before we 371 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,160 have let's say a renter. If we don't have a renter on that ground 372 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,400 flow, why don't we just have a house product something super super easy, 373 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,319 like putting junk coffee in a coffee shop and letting young people go in and 374 00:30:41,319 --> 00:30:45,440 brew it up for folks make it look hip with cheap furniture, et cetera. 375 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,759 Why not do that? So they're shocked after they unionize that there's a 376 00:30:48,799 --> 00:30:52,759 lockdown. So now they're protesting not the lockdown, but the closure. So 377 00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:55,960 now they're protesting closure. And if you watch the video, and if you 378 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,839 didn't, they'll describe it to you. They're wearing, of course, humas 379 00:30:57,839 --> 00:31:03,480 scarfs, because nothing says come into our store on the East Coast like a 380 00:31:03,519 --> 00:31:07,960 hamas scarf. I don't know that the Jewish population in Philadelphia is as high 381 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,240 as it is in New York, but it's high, so they don't even 382 00:31:12,319 --> 00:31:18,480 understand that. See, it's pretend adulthood. They're adulting. We're taking advantage 383 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,000 of our right to create a union. That is the right, but we're 384 00:31:22,039 --> 00:31:26,000 not adulting when it comes to here, what are the risks of this? 385 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,480 It's a funny thing that happened when I worked at a grocery store back in 386 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,359 the day, which was gosh, it was fantastically well run. It was 387 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,880 called Tidymans And does it talk about this? I wish, you know what, 388 00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:41,200 of my regrets in life, I should have just listened to my grandpa. 389 00:31:41,359 --> 00:31:44,200 My grandpa said back in the day, he said to me. I 390 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,880 was sitting in his front room and he goes, toddo I want you to 391 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,839 know that John Anderson's son, he's cutting meat at Rosars and he's earning twenty 392 00:31:52,839 --> 00:31:57,400 five dollars an hour. Now, this was in nineteen eighty five, and 393 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,680 I listened to that twenty five bucks a hour. I didn't get it. 394 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,519 Now. At the time, as Grandpa was talking to me about that, 395 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,279 I was working at a pizza place and I was learning at about twenty bucks 396 00:32:09,319 --> 00:32:15,319 an hour plus tips. I didn't get it because the kid he was talking 397 00:32:15,319 --> 00:32:21,240 about went on to be a regional manager of a grocery store and ended up 398 00:32:21,279 --> 00:32:24,880 retiring with a gorgeous pension. So he'd never went out and had the big, 399 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,839 big, insane years that I did. But he also didn't have the 400 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,400 big bottom low years that I had in being a high risk like high reward 401 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:37,559 guy. Because sometimes you get those valleys of performance, they're not that great. 402 00:32:37,359 --> 00:32:43,279 I was at Tidyman's when the union guy came in. Now, I 403 00:32:43,359 --> 00:32:49,400 had just finished a work shift that I had been working overtime because someone couldn't 404 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,880 come in. So let's go through the math. I worked overtime because someone 405 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,599 couldn't come in, so I covered an I did an eight hour shift, 406 00:32:55,039 --> 00:32:59,480 and then I did an eight hour shift, so that's sixteen hours, so 407 00:32:59,519 --> 00:33:04,920 I got over time. This was around the time of Thanksgiving, so I 408 00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:12,960 was getting a holiday bonus. Then I worked my regular next shift, which 409 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,359 was an early morning shift, so an eight and an eight sixteen. I 410 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:22,920 was about four hours into my morning shift, so I was on my twelfth 411 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:27,240 and at c sixteen, I was on my twentieth hour of work and my 412 00:33:27,319 --> 00:33:30,960 boss Jack came in. He comes into the back door. He looks at 413 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,000 him. He goes, hey, Tod, good morning, and he's and 414 00:33:34,519 --> 00:33:37,400 he goes on to because he goes, wait, wait, wait, have 415 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:43,759 you been home. No, I worked straight through. You have to leave. 416 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,240 You have to leave, like Jack, what's going on? He goes, 417 00:33:46,799 --> 00:33:49,759 you gotta clock out. I go, okay, okay, we'll go 418 00:33:49,799 --> 00:33:51,720 clock out. I head to the clock. He goes, wait, stop 419 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,799 and he looks at his watch. You can't clock out yet. You have 420 00:33:55,839 --> 00:34:00,599 to clock out at the four hour point. I'll stand here to help you. 421 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,759 Jack. I know when the fower or far point is because no, 422 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,880 no, oh my gosh, and he's I mean, he's sweating, so 423 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:13,840 at the fur parties clock out, So I do. I turned him. 424 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,400 I go, what's going on? He goes, TOD, You're earning one 425 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:23,800 hundred and twenty eight bucks an hour. What one hundred and twenty what are 426 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:29,639 you talking about? And he went through the math, double shifts, overnights, 427 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:36,320 holiday pay, triple shift to holiday pay. It just it compounded into 428 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:37,559 this thing where like for the past I don't know how long I've been earning 429 00:34:37,599 --> 00:34:39,679 one hundred and twenty eight bucks an hour. I remember, go home and 430 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:45,719 tell my mom about this. So just after this happened, a guy from 431 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,840 the union came in and he was allowed to come and present to us. 432 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,880 So I sat and listened, and at the end of his presentation, I 433 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:57,679 raised my hand. Yeah, I go, So do you guys at the 434 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,960 union shop do you get stock in the company? Well, no, but 435 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:07,320 we have guaranteed work hours. Well so do I do you pay overtime? 436 00:35:08,159 --> 00:35:10,119 Well? Yeah, I know, We've got great overtime rules. Really, 437 00:35:10,119 --> 00:35:13,639 because I just turned one hundred and twenty eight bucks an hour and overtime, 438 00:35:13,639 --> 00:35:16,519 do you do that? You didn't get out in twenty bicks an hour? 439 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:22,440 I did, And then I asked him a question about ownership and I got 440 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:29,599 out my paycheck and I said, I own part of this company, and 441 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:34,719 if I work here five years and I leave, they have to buy me 442 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,239 out of my ownership at the current value of the company. Do you guys 443 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:43,719 have this? Well, no, but we've got guaranteed hours. And that's 444 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,920 what it came down to. Now. I know that there's some situations where 445 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,480 unions are very, very helpful, but in this case in the coffee shop, 446 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:54,000 this fake adulting ended up into people not really understanding the circumstances of what 447 00:35:54,039 --> 00:35:58,400 they're asking for and what they're trying to do to business owners. There is 448 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,559 also this though, there is a in the United States where people are not 449 00:36:01,639 --> 00:36:07,599 just having nostalgia for their childhood, they're spending a lot of money on nostalgia 450 00:36:07,639 --> 00:36:10,159 for their childhood. I'll talk about that. It's money that maybe people shouldn't 451 00:36:10,199 --> 00:36:15,119 be spending. Look, I stand accused and convicted. I've let a lot 452 00:36:15,159 --> 00:36:19,440 of money slip through my fingers. So when it came time to really get 453 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,960 serious about retirement, I just my wife and I just decided to get out 454 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:27,679 of our way and we sent our money to Zach Abraham at Bolwerk Capital Management 455 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,559 and I was going through this with him. He said, don't send it 456 00:36:29,599 --> 00:36:32,280 all to me, because what if I have a bad year? What if 457 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:37,519 that's before you retire. So Zach is animated by two specific things. One 458 00:36:37,639 --> 00:36:43,960 is risk management, and he accomplishes that through active management of every portfolio, 459 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,760 which can reduce risk and volatility. Now what this means is sometimes you will 460 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:52,599 not be getting the sugar hies. For instance, Zach may have a small 461 00:36:52,639 --> 00:36:54,559 position in a video, although I think he sold it, but he is 462 00:36:54,599 --> 00:36:59,079 not going to sit there and watch a company go up and up and up 463 00:36:59,119 --> 00:37:01,320 and up ridiculously, knowing it must come down. So you might miss some 464 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:06,239 sugar heighs, but guess what else you lose the low lows. He's doing 465 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:10,760 the free live webinar and it's the focus of his life. Right now. 466 00:37:12,199 --> 00:37:15,760 He's trying to warn people, people who are five, ten, fifteen years 467 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:21,280 from retirement. He's trying to explain to you that inflation is a silent assassin 468 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,960 of your portfolio. You might think you're ready to retire, but in these 469 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:30,079 inflationary times, are you locked? To Zach? Retirement means, in a 470 00:37:30,119 --> 00:37:34,320 healthy sense, knowing exactly how much money you'll have every month, you can 471 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,000 get into this free live webinar ask questions here. Zach explained this watch him, 472 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,679 but you have to register. It's free, but you have to register. 473 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:45,760 Go to Know your Risk radio dot com.

Bwick Capital Management's and 476 00:37:52,559 --> 00:37:58,960 investment advisor representative a Truck Financial LLC and SEC registered investment advisor. Investments involve 477 00:37:59,079 --> 00:38:01,159 risk, you could lose money, and past performance is not necessarily indicative of 478 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:08,320 future results. The adulting and the childing. There's a statement that I heard 479 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:15,840 someone describe once about America that Americans tend to amuse themselves to death. Well, 480 00:38:15,559 --> 00:38:22,199 that's kind of true. Alcohol, drug use, over proliferated sexual activity 481 00:38:22,199 --> 00:38:28,800 can all add up to that. Grown ups have now surpassed preschoolers in toy 482 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:36,760 consumption. They are now the most important group for toy retailers and manufacturers. 483 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:44,079 An example of this from the New York Post, Jason Giaftdler spends about four 484 00:38:44,639 --> 00:38:47,639 eight hundred bucks per year on toys, twenty four hundred for himself and twenty 485 00:38:47,639 --> 00:38:53,320 four hundred combined on his six and ten year old son's birthdays and Christmas presents, 486 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:57,719 so two kids, one adult, same amount of money. The thirty 487 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,199 nine year old tech sales rep who moonlights as a t toy influencer under the 488 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:05,000 moniker geek Dad Life, is among a booming group of grown ups who are 489 00:39:05,119 --> 00:39:08,679 shelling out big bucks to collect action figures, trading cards, and Lego sets 490 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:13,519 that harken back to the youth in the nineteen eighties and nineties. Their love 491 00:39:13,559 --> 00:39:17,960 of all things Star Wars, Marvel, Ghostbusters, and teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 492 00:39:19,639 --> 00:39:22,800 is a bright, patchet and otherwise bleak outlook for the toy industry. It's 493 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:28,000 no wonder the toymakers, including Mattel, Hasbro and Lego are working drinking age 494 00:39:28,039 --> 00:39:34,039 consumers. Lego has someone on staff whose job is to outreach to afl Afol's 495 00:39:34,519 --> 00:39:38,039 adult fans for life of Legos, who are buying two hundred dollars sets, 496 00:39:38,079 --> 00:39:43,760 explained jamie' z ann, editor of Toy Insider. Indeed, Lego sells for 497 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,000 adults these kits that are far price here, including a Titanic set that sells 498 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:53,079 for six hundred and seventy nine bucks. And a Star Wars Millennium Falcon price 499 00:39:53,119 --> 00:39:58,280 to eight hundred and forty nine, almost eight hundred and fifty bucks. In 500 00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,920 another key trend, grown ups are buying coll flectible plush toys reminiscent of the 501 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:06,039 Beanie babies and cabbage patch dolls that spark frenzies in the nineteen eighties and nineties. 502 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,000 I'm not here to be your judge. God gets to do that. 503 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:14,159 I spend a ton of money on fitness, and people could say that's the 504 00:40:14,159 --> 00:40:19,320 equivalent of toys. I disagree, because of course it's providing me better health, 505 00:40:20,079 --> 00:40:22,679 and I think better mental health and the sense of community, all of 506 00:40:22,679 --> 00:40:30,119 that, friends and activity. But go ahead and criticize me child like thoughts. 507 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,840 See, this is something that the culture has pushed down. I had 508 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:38,800 once heard about U turns in so called gay communities, same sex attracted communities, 509 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:44,880 and it hurt someone at one point whispered that they're homophobic. Well apparently 510 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:50,559 they are, so much so that in Los Angeles, where their water pipes 511 00:40:52,039 --> 00:41:02,039 are leaking up to seventy three percent of reclaimable water ending money. So go 512 00:41:02,119 --> 00:41:09,039 take down U turn signs. A man dressed as a cartoon version of a 513 00:41:09,079 --> 00:41:21,320 prostitute dash stripper helps celebrate this. LA City Council members you Go Sodo Martinez 514 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,360 and Nythia Rahman were on hand today to help remove the signs. They say 515 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:29,639 the no cruising and no U turn signs were put up in the nineteen nineties 516 00:41:29,639 --> 00:41:32,639 to prevent people in the gay community from meeting up with other gay people. 517 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:40,280 I was also surprised that these U turn signs were still up, and at 518 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:44,480 first, you know, they seem a little oh okay, it's just a 519 00:41:44,519 --> 00:41:46,000 no U turn sign. But when you learn the history of it and you 520 00:41:46,119 --> 00:41:51,639 realize that these were used to profile gay people, it's so important that we 521 00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,440 have these removed. The La City Council members say the signs were put up 522 00:41:55,440 --> 00:42:00,039 after the gay community began to grow and because there was a gay bar in 523 00:42:00,079 --> 00:42:05,280 that area. Now the facts that or the idea that this pretends had prevented 524 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:12,000 people from meeting up. Really, because I've lived in California, there was 525 00:42:12,079 --> 00:42:15,480 a lot of meeting up going on. But it's not just that particular intersection. 526 00:42:15,559 --> 00:42:22,119 There's others in other areas of California. Another man pretending to be a 527 00:42:22,159 --> 00:42:27,119 woman. No U turn signs are homophobic In Silver Lake, and here's why. 528 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,840 Hey everybody, it's maybe so a couple of days ago, I Bee, 529 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:35,679 by the way, this is a man whose name pretend name is maybe 530 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:39,840 a girl. That's clever. I stood a video on TikTok and on Instagram 531 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:45,039 that was detailing the removal of the last no U turn signs associated with a 532 00:42:45,039 --> 00:42:52,960 no cruising ordinance here in Los Angeles and claimed it as an anti LGBTQIA issue. 533 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:58,599 And folks were asking, how can a no U turn sign be homophobic? 534 00:42:58,639 --> 00:43:02,440 How is that anti LGBTA. Of course the homophobes, the transphobes came 535 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:07,320 out and mass and were saying, Yo, this is just a no U 536 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,719 turn sign. Now making a U turn is homophobic. Well, I'm here 537 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:15,400 to give you a little history lesson about why the no U turn signs in 538 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:21,599 Silver Lake actually are homophobic. So this story goes back to nineteen eighty eights. 539 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,000 July twenty seventh, nineteen eighty eight, a story came out in the 540 00:43:24,119 --> 00:43:29,239 LA Times that was actually my second birthday. This was almost thirty six years 541 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:35,000 ago, and it detailed how cruising had been outlawed here in Los Angeles. 542 00:43:35,039 --> 00:43:42,239 Cruising was outlawed in Washington State, about the same time in Spokane, and 543 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,159 it wasn't around what was called And this is it's an offensive term, and 544 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:49,400 I recognize it. It's offensive. I'm just being accurate. There was a 545 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:54,840 cruising area in downtown Spokane called the fruit Loop, and it's where male prostitutes 546 00:43:55,119 --> 00:44:00,760 walked. He wanted to pick up a man who's i'll be a young person 547 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:05,039 being sex trafficked. You went to the fruit Loop. That was not shut 548 00:44:05,079 --> 00:44:08,360 down. The cruising for high school kids was shut down. Cruising was being 549 00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:13,719 shut down across the country because it was destroying the ability for people to go 550 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:19,239 to dinners in theaters. Honestly, in downtown Spokane, cruising was obscenely bizarre. 551 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,639 The entire downtown core was locked up for five or six hours a night 552 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:29,199 with aimlessly people aimlessly sitting in cars. I'm talking about thousands of cars. 553 00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,559 If you've never saw cruising at its height, there was no reason to ever 554 00:44:31,599 --> 00:44:36,480 go to downtown Spokane for any event at all because you couldn't get there. 555 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,159 But of course it's homophobic. Now the iriy to me is, of course 556 00:44:40,199 --> 00:44:44,519 that's a man pretending to be a woman talking about things that are homophobic but 557 00:44:44,559 --> 00:44:51,599 not misogynistic. They can't see this. The great tragedy of these attitudes that 558 00:44:51,639 --> 00:44:54,159 are being pushed down upon young people to me manifest so well in this video 559 00:44:54,199 --> 00:45:00,800 from a young person. I fully recognize that people who are are genuinely confused 560 00:45:01,199 --> 00:45:08,199 genuinely have either body dysmorphia, they hate their bodies, they have genuine gender 561 00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:13,280 dysphor you that is, they really don't think they were supposed to be the 562 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,599 sex they are. I recognize the pain of that. Most of what we're 563 00:45:16,599 --> 00:45:22,400 seeing right now is not that it's gender denial. It's gender rebellion. It's 564 00:45:22,639 --> 00:45:27,199 code shifting, it's popularizing, it's trying to join a group, it's insulating 565 00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,360 oneself against having been sexually assaulted, which is a case of all too many 566 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:37,920 girls. This young person isn't just denying their sex, they're denying their species. 567 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,360 Now, this could be, and praise God if it is just a 568 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:45,599 phase with this young person, but I'm here to tell you there are young 569 00:45:45,679 --> 00:45:49,960 people who firmly believe this, and there is going to be as soon as 570 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,320 the drugs are available to do this, and the surgeries are available. As 571 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:57,599 soon as it's a big enough market, niche medical providers will step in to 572 00:45:57,679 --> 00:46:01,280 say hey, let's make you this thing. I am a Robert or Android 573 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:09,280 of suits. I am not human, and I lack the ability to fully 574 00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:15,760 act human because since I spawned in this human body I have not been able 575 00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:21,639 to access the Internet and download new ways of acting. I have transcripts for 576 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:25,920 every way of acting and reacting to different things, and I'll lack new ones 577 00:46:27,039 --> 00:46:31,480 due to not being able to connect to the Internet anymore. So there I 578 00:46:31,599 --> 00:46:39,000 cannot always react accordingly to new things because I cannot look it up anymore and 579 00:46:39,079 --> 00:46:45,039 do not know how to act and react. But I can post a TikTok 580 00:46:45,159 --> 00:46:49,559 in my rainbow shirt with my rainbow flag in the back. There are former 581 00:46:49,599 --> 00:46:54,440 people in the wait, cool hunters as it were, monitoring the trends, 582 00:46:55,079 --> 00:46:59,039 and when enough young people get to that point of thinking that they'll be there, 583 00:47:00,039 --> 00:47:06,199 we can help you with your true species, which is apparently not human. 584 00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,760 They're coming for the water, They're coming for the kids. Thank God, 585 00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:15,320 God wins. Thank God for the common blessings. Thank God that we 586 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:19,199 stand in victory with him. Thank you God for the ability to speak together 587 00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:23,199 today. We'll be back tomorrow. And what are we doing tomorrow? Oh 588 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:27,760 Zach, Oh, this is good. Should we pray for the US dollar 589 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,079 to fail? Plus this cheap fakes thing I'm telling you that's going to turn 590 00:47:31,119 --> 00:47:34,639 into policy. That's tomorrow The Todd Herman Show. Lord, thank you for 591 00:47:34,639 --> 00:47:37,760 the opportunity to visit together day. This is The Todd Herman Show. Please 592 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:39,519 go, be well, be strong, be kind to please make every effort 593 00:47:40,039 --> 00:47:42,280 to walk in the light of Christ.
