When people show you who they are through demonstrations of behavior, believe them.
I mean, it's not taking them at their word. It's watching their behaviors
and sitting back and going, okay, you will know them by their fruits.
So they're coming from the water. They have been for a long time.
There have been many, many attempts to this. Some of them are
near misses. For instance, in the western part of the Separate Country of
Washington State, they made an attempt to come for rural water. In fact,
for a while it was illegal to dig a well on your land.
They actually got that through the so called Supreme Court illegal. They just discovered
this, darn the luck, you can't have water now. The legislature had
to act because they got caught. They also made other attempts like this.
This is again the western part of the Separate Country of sout But remember this.
Everything they tried to do to ruin the country is tried in that lab
or the laboratory of the Separate Country of California. They came after rural landowners
who had septic fields or sometimes are called septic tanks. They're not really tanks,
but septic fields. In that case, they said that people living,
say, fifty miles from the ocean, we're polluting the ocean with a septic
field. Now, a well done, properly made septic field filters the waste
water within about thirteen feet to the point that it's drinkable. I didn't say
it's tasty or it's tasty to think about, but it's purified on the So
they went at them and said, you can't do this, We're going to
have to find you extra money, et cetera. But in downtown Seattle,
where people forgive me, defecate on the streets so badly that fish in Puget
Sound are coming up positive for heroin in their fatty tissues, they didn't do
anything. Now it's getting real. The World Economic Form had said that,
hey, let's use water as the crisis point. In California and Idaho,
farmers are seeing their water threatened. There is a move to turn off the
water for farmers and ranchers in Idaho. And since I've been talking about this
even lightly, I've heard from farmers in Idaho. We'll talk about this as
well as a check in on U turns. The new cultural sign of homophobia
finally being torn down in cities across America. Thank you for noticing the racism,
Pardon me homophobia, pardon me transphobia of U turns. We'll do this
with the help of our YouTube channel YouTube dot com, slash at the Todd
Herman Show, free video clips, and our opportunity to reach more young people.
Thank you God Almighty that we haven't yet been canceled from YouTube, although
I'm sure that's gonna happen. The Todd Herman Show is one hundred percent disapproved
by big farmer, technocrats and tyrants everywhere from the high mountains of Free America.
Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman. Today is a day the Lord
has made in These are the times to which God has decided we shall live.
Pardon me for being late logging onto the live chats area. Good morning
everybody. If you're watching in there listening later, we love you equally.
You can be involved in the live stuff again video dot The Todd Herman Show
dot com. Some farmers in Idaho are finding out that though the drought is
over, and what I'm hearing from farmers is the reservoirs are full. What
I'm hearing from farming families is they knew they were going to refill. What
I'm hearing from farming families is the bureaucrats don't want to talk to them about
why there's this water curtailment move. It's the same thing I've heard now from
farmers in California. They're saying the same thing. In California, there is
a decrepit series of pipes and drainage systems that waste, according to some statistics,
up to seventy percent of water. Because, of course, you can't
be concentrating on infrastructure and bolstering the pipes through which water flows when you're busy
painting intersections into rainbow colors and investigating people who burn out over them, or
of course, empowering schools to steal children, or all the other things California
does. Why be bothered with infrastructure when that's not what your game is?
Your game, of course, oceans and feelings, plus never let a good
crisis go to waste. Being able to claim that the water is short when
in fact it's leaking through these decrepit pipes simply adds to the momentum for more
government control, more government taxation. Same thing is true in the separate country
of Washington. I don't know that it's true about the infrastructure, but I
know this. When a government facility just dumped about five hundred million gallons of
raw sewage into Puget Sounds, no one paid a fine. However, when
commercial fishermen accidentally had sewage leak off of their boats, sometimes that resulted in
fines up to a level where their boats could be seized to pay those fines.
That wasn't five hundred million gallons. It was maybe five hundred. So
there is an effort to go after the water because of course it's a precious
resource. And let's just pay attention some things. The same people who tell
us that carbon dioxide is a terrible, terrible, dangerous gas that's literally poisoning
the children are the same people who tell us that your gas stove in your
home, your natural gas stove in your home in let's say, Bozeman,
Montana, is leading to children in the bronx black kids getting asthma. They're
the same people who tell us about that terrible gas poison, carbon dioxide.
They're the ones who are investing billions and hundreds of billions of dollars in order
to take it out of the air, sequester it, hoard it, and
then use it to make products and to sell it to us. Well,
what are they going to do with the water in the separate country of Washington.
For some time it was illegal to store rainwater. Why Well, because
of course during rain water, we'd take it out of circulation for everybody else.
Now you can have arguments, in fact, they're decent arguments. What
happens when you've got all this bottle water sitting around and it's not being recirculated
and it's not being evaporated and filtered in that way. Those are great arguments,
fun to have. But what you can't do is pretend that our society
can exist without food. It can't, and food can't work without water.
But this isn't about having access to food. It's about certain companies having access
to the carbon dioxide sequestered, to the ability to use natural gas, to
the ability to have enough water, the ability How could you get to the
ability because you're talking about the government, the single government, because this is
global, it's not just localized to the United States. So it is happening
in Idaho. This video went viral, and I guess we've referenced it,
and I put it in clips, and I've done it on my national radio
program during the weekdays, and this is where I've heard from farmers from around
the country, mostly in Idaho and Oregon. Here's what's happening today. I
wanted to talk about what's going on in Idaho because some of you have probably
heard about this, But the state of Idaho has put a water curtailment order,
which is basically a water shutoff order on literally a half million acres of
farmland. That's a lot of potatoes a lot of these farmers, and this
impacts about six four hundred water users. But a lot of these farmers that
are farming this land have already invested thousands of acres thousands of dollars per acre
to grow potatoes. When you make these investments in this land, it's not
just quote just the land. You have to be able to harvest the land.
You have to have the equipment to take care that. You have drainage,
you have irrigation, you have people, you have storage methodologies. You've
often leveraged your land into a mortgage that's sometimes recycled. Often farmers operate every
single year on leverage. So it's not like you or I starting a small
business. There's massive, massive instructure in this and this curtailment order in the
state of Idaho. The Republican governor here, Brad Little, has said there's
nothing he can do about it. Yes there is. Brad Little could be
on TV in the next five minutes if he wanted to. He could be
in front of the Quarterline Press, one of the biggest, well the biggest
newspaper in North Idaho with one of the biggest websites today. He could get
into the Spokesman Review, which is the largest of the regionally circulated news organs
here today, on any the news channels that serve the Northern Idaho area.
In Boise, they have local TV news. He could walk into the studio
into any of the stations and beyond today and he could talk about the water
curtailment. He could demand action from the legislature, because if the people of
Idaho actually knew this was going on in mass it would stop. Brad Little
doesn't want to do anything. Why why should he? There's no focus on
it, There's no political cost to be paid right now. Same thing is
true in California, but with a different dynamic. Of course. Gavin Newsom
is happy to pretend the waters in tremendously short supply and not talk about the
infrastructure that has made that true. The video continues. Good morning everyone.
My name's Trevor Bell Knapp. I operate a family farm, a fifth generation
family farm in the Snake River Valley of Eastern Idaho. I just wanted to
visit with you for a minute about the impacts of the water curtailment order that's
been issued by Director Weaver from that of Department of Water Resources. The situation
which we find ourselves is about as bad as it gets. Not only will
we be out of business, many other businesses will be highly impacted, and
you, as my friends and neighbors, will also be impacted because we're so
interconnected. If the ag economy in Eastern Idaho fails, which it surely will,
if this contailment order is in play, it can remain in place,
will dry up and blow away, just like it did back in the dust
bowl of the thirties. Banks will fail, Equipment dealers, car dealers,
gas stations, grocery stores all rely on the ag economy that's here in Eastern
Idaho. The children in our schools, how many of them belong to families
who work in some form of ag industry in eastern Idaho. It's horrible and
we need to fix it. So who's going to fix it? Well,
if you compare what's going on in corporate farming, just keeping mind what we're
talking about here in terms of scale, there are devices. They're expensive,
but they exist from which with which you can make fresh water from the air.
There's been a device for sale in Australia forever that it actually just takes
the moisture out of the air and fills up tanks with fresh water. Of
course, there's desalination techniques, which is where you take seawater, desalinate it
make it into fresh water. But who can afford that? The same entities
who can afford to build sky scraper sized buildings where they grow food horizontally,
not vertically. They grow it in a lab, not through the land.
They pipe in carbon dioxide that's been sequestered from the rest of us. They
pipe it into the buildings so the plant growth is supercharged. Then they do
what's called vertical integration. So I'm said they're growing it vertically, not horizontically.
Vertical integration is this They've got all the food stuffs growing in these great
big factories, all the carbon dioxide. They're the ones who can afford to
pay the bills to have access to the water. Then they take the plant
stuff and make fake meat, and they use downward pressure from government, like
they're doing in New York to say we're going to have two days a week
where there ain't no meat on the menu. Why, well, because meat
is killing children? It is yeah, wow, So a pure food as
designed by God for us to eat or to have dominion over the animals in
a broken sin state. Yet being carnivorous is part of this. Blood is
part of this that's bad for you. But plastic meat ate the other part
of it is from top down, bottom up. Now, my daughter's a
vegan. It's an ethical choice she makes. I support her decision to do
that. I'm not wild about it nutritionally, it's hard to be really healthy
as a vegan. But I support her principles because they're hers or are they?
Has she been taught by the culture to value animals this much? Now
I've had this conversation. You don't prevent an animal from dying when you don't
eat them. You simply choose well, you don't choose, but you lessen
the chance that they're dying. And say, in a factory, if I
were an animal, I'd far rather be killed with a captive bolt gun bolt
gun than eaten by wolves over a period of hours. How about you.
So you have the skyscrapers built, you have the carbon dioxide sequestered, you
have access to the water. Natural gas has been made impossible to get for
normal people. It's just electricity. So all of a sudden, there's all
sorts of natural gas available. Or turbo diesel. What's that? Turbo diesel
is a product made with carbon dioxide. You know what else is made with
carbon dioxide? According to a patent held by Bill Gates and others, protein,
Yes, a questioned carbon dioxide. Simply the molecule's rearrange. And look
at that. You have protein goo to go into your fake meat. So
the play is this make water impossible for the real farmers to get, go
and seize their land in Midwest for carbon dioxide sequestering pipelines, make natural gas
impossibly difficult for people to get. And insert the bird flu, which they're
doing now. Yeah, the bird flu indicates that ranchers in America are going
to have to start calling to herd, not selling cattle, but killing it.
They're floating that more from this video about what's going on in Idaho,
which is also going on in California. And I would propose to you that
it is not a water problem. It's a management problem them because we have
water. Reservoirs are full, the mountains are covered in snow, the river
has been flowing. Well, so why now, why after we've planted our
crops, we have crops in the ground, they're already growing. Now in
the middle of June, they pull a cartail in order to say you must
cease pumping water. The cost is huge. An acre potatoes costs upward of
four thousand dollars an acre to grow. How will that ever be recovered?
They will not grow without water? And what will that do to everyone else?
This reliant upon us in this area and the state of Idaho. What
will the counties do for roads and bridges, police departments, ambulances, hospitals
that rely on tax the tax base. Property like this will become worthless without
water. The land doesn't have any value here. Brad Little, the governor
of Idaho, is using the same excuse. The same flimsy, flaccid excuse
that the sellout Christinome used in South Dakota. There's nothing I can do.
I'm very busy getting plastic surgery and have my lips blown up, although I'm
already photogenic, because I'm auditioning to be VP, and there's a look I
need to achieve, so I don't only have time to care about your family
farms being stolen by international investors from China and Korea. I can't do anything,
but I can go on TV in addition to BVP. I can travel
to Wisconsin to get the female vote out. I can ride through rodeos.
I can give speeches and pretend that I'm so all about property rights. If
you're in Idaho or you're in the states that surrounded, understand this isn't going
to be localized to Idaho. If you are in Idaho, it suggests that
you begin putting political presure on your representatives. Tell them you know about the
water curtailment, tell them you know that the legislature has more power than bureaucrats,
and would be a good idea to give Brad Little a phone call to
let them know that you're tracking this, that there are things that you can
do and that you know that if you're in California, Well, sorry,
you're in California. What do you do there? I don't know. Move.
Can't move your farm, though, can you. The fact is this,
in so many ways, we're on our own until a parallel economy rises.
Now, parallel economies are hard to do because it's really hard to go
out and build your own water infrastructure. But there are things that we can
do that communicate consumer choice. For instance, this you can choose to buy,
say an air what filter you can buy? I have the machine,
but you're not really buying it. I'm pointing if you're watching video, because
there's one sitting right there. In fact, I could throw a cat at
it and hit it. If we were to turn that on, it would
be too loud for us to do the broadcast. If we were to turn
that on while we're gone, I would have to write a check for two
to four hundred bucks per year to replace the filters in that thing. We
can't use while the show is on. And as point of comparison, about
three feet from that air filter, there's an air cleanser that is almost completely
silent and is as we speak producing ozone. So what that means is the
sixty four ounces of caffeinated coffee I've had this morning from bone Frog. I'm
blowing that out. I'm exhaling it. But Nana, who sits from me
far enough away that I could throw a cocker spaniel it hitter. No,
I'm talking about throwing pets this morning. I'm not going to throw a cocker
spaniel at you. She doesn't have to put up with coffee breath. Because
the three that's ozone from the oxy leaf to Thunderstorm from e pure deals dot
com. It produces ozone, which bonds to the molecules that make bad smells
and it neutralizes them. See it's not a filter. Every now and then
we can wipe the thing off with a cloth, although we don't have pets
up here, so they don't need to do that. So you can choose
this for your home. In fact, you get a pet stink guarantee if
your pets reek just keep them reaking, don't even bother change in the litter
boxes, don't even bother bathing your hound dogs. Just to install a bunch
of oxy leaf two's around the house and our house will still smell like thunderstorm.
Even if you don't change the litter boxes, but do change them.
Hygienics are hygienics. Here's the deal. You can have whole home coverage three
of these devices and save two hundred bucks. Just go to eatinpredeals dot com.

how well these things work. Eatinpure deals dot Com code todd three to save

and I said, the bosses from the top have been planning this.
They're subtle in this statement. This is one of the agenda contributors, Marianna
Mazacato. That's a cool name. She is subtle. But if you listen
through the lines, kind of understand where this is all headed. What of
our colleagues had said, I gotta find the clip. Well, what of
our colleagues had pointed to the fact that they failed to get us to do
the right thing for the common good with the COVID lockdowns and with the fifteen
minute cities, but water, what we all need water. If water is
as urgent of a problem as some of the top climate scientists like Johann have
been telling us, by the way for many years, we're just starting to
listen. Now, how do we turn it a into an urgent problem?
And the numbers are quite astounding. We might come back to some of the
other numbers that you talked about this morning, which are quite shocking, but
also an intersectual problem. We shouldn't see water as a sector, but common
good means it has to be seen as cross sectorally, across many different kind
of solutions, across sectors as different as nutrition and construction everything. But also
in terms of coming back to the new economic thinking, it means seeing the
role of government which is so important. It's not the only actor, but
as a key actor, as a market co creator and a market shaper in
the system. So the policies themselves need to be framed in terms of shaping
and not market fixing because that's just going to patch up the system. And
central to that and I know termin will talk more about it, it really
is this kind of getting rid of this public private divide. This is going
to require huge amounts of collaboration, huge amounts of co investment and finance and
how to actually design that with a common good lens is one of the really
innovative things that this group is going to provide a common good lens to make
the water crisis or crisis like, got it. Jason Vandercooing great, longtime
friend of the show. He's been on our show a couple times. Fascinating
dude, first responder, He's a farmer, he is an adoptive parent.
He's in the live chat this morning. You can join this at video dot
the Todd Hermann Show dot com and get a seven day free trial for the
video service and you can see what it's like to hang out with people during
the show. Jason Vanderkuen knows what he's talking about. He writes in the
live chat natural gas is needed for nitrogen fertilizer production. Huh. That's interesting.
So as they're banning natural gas for the rest of us, this is
what the figurehead intends to do. They're doing it in the separate country of
Washington State. Natural gases needed to create nitrogen fertilized production. But wait a
minute, they're telling farmers in the Netherlands and elsewhere and ranchers. You use
too much nitrogen fertilizer, You're gonna have to stop that. Who can afford
to formulate that stuff in skyscrape precise buildings where they have built vertical integration.
Answer there. The carbon dioxide is there, the water is there. The
processing machines to turn that all into fake meat is there. The lobbying efforts
to force us to eat fake meat is there, including and you watch as
they get better and better and better at the fake meat stuff. You watch
sooner or later they'll go to a labeling law where you're not allowed to label
this. John Caldwell, this is John from Alan Soapius. Allen's dad points
out a byproduct of desalination is renewable lithium. Well, that's interesting as well,
because lithium, of course is needed for these car batteries as everything is
turning over to electric and Jason adds this in the chat room. The endgame
is to turn water into a commodity, just like oil, right, a
commodity they own and we buy if we can afford it. See, the
game is always this, The problem is always our freedom. The solution is
always controlled for them. If you look at all how the piece is aligned.
Let's go back to our good friend powder recognition. They're building bottlenecks of
power. Well, the only solution, after all, is really really efficient
farming. I mean, it's sad. Family farms were great when we had
enough water, when we didn't know that natural gas was poisoning bipock kids in
the Bronx New York, when we didn't understand that were literally killing the planet
by having combines. Go about these farms. After all, we have an
overpopulation issue. We can't have all this land being used for farms. We
may need it for affordable housing. It's too bad. But really what we
can do is count on efficient farming. After all, this is what the
science says. I mean, we recognize it. It's sad. But the
farmers they could learn to code. So these big skyscraper buildings that are being
built, well, there are only way out of this, just like the
injections were only way out. Just like the only thing to do with a
gender confused child is surgery and hormones. Just like the only way to have
fair voting is to not check ID. It's bottlenecks, it's kill shoots.
It's a good friend pattern recognition. Now, I don't know why more people
in conservative media aren't comfortable saying things like this, aren't comfortable getting ahead of
things like this. I kind of guess it's because they're afraid of someone coming
back and saying, Hey, you made a prediction and you were wrong.
I would love to be wrong about this. Wouldn't you love me to be
wrong? Sadly? I don't think I am. If you track culture,
and you track the results of what people have been taught in culture from the
pavailing culture, you can find all sorts of instances where there are accidental awakenings.
That's happening at a coffee shop, and it's indicative of things that the
left has been telling people for years. The clichet is have your cake and
eat it too, or free lunch, or someone else is gonna pay.
I'll show you this in a second. Since we're talking about water, I
should alert you to something. Do you commonly get headaches or feel extra tired?
Do you commonly find yourself like with muscle soreness? You could be among
the seventy five percent of Americans who are chronically dehydrated. Let me add to
the puzzle. Are you like me and you drink a ton of coffee.
I had sixty four ounces of caffeinated beverages this morning. Now that's diuretic that
washes water out of your system. Now I'm an obsessive. I will drink
sometime today between thirty six and forty eight out glans eight ounce glasses of water
to which I add sea salt. But I'll also do this. I'm gonna
go exercise outside today. Today is a heat tolerance day. So the whole
thing is get as hot and tweaty as it can and try to exercise through
that. So I'll be using native hydrate. Native hydrate has all nine amino
acids, essential meino acids, fourteen vitamins and minerals. It has no sugar.
Shake this stuff and drink it. It comes in three delicious flavors,
and it will replenish your body supply, not just of needed hydration, but
of these amino acids and these vitamins and minerals. Without this, you put
extra stress on your kidney's, extra stress on your liver. You don't produce
good quality blood, or your liver cannot cleanse and detoxify your system as well
as it should. You're probably dehydrated. That's what the stistic say. Right
now today, you can save up to forty four percent on native hydrate.
Just go to native hydrate dot com slash todd Boom up to forty four percent
savings as you rehydrate your bodyes native hydrate dot com slash tod. A coffee
shop employee is a sign of something that's going on in the United States culturally.
It's parts pretend grown up, part pretend child. So some group of
employees decided that they would vote to u unionize at a place called OCF Coffee
in Philadelphia. Incidentally, this coffee shop is not owned by people who are
coffee entrepreneurs. They're entrepreneurs. But as you listen to the news piece,
listen to what kind of entrepreneurs they are. I are okay, fine,
we all see gray. Former employees of OCF Coffee House rallied outside of the
now closed Fairmount Cafe on Tuesday. We've been paid really bad wages and this
is just this was our attempt to get better wages and like make the place
that we love better. The coffee shops are owned by OCF Realty. The
real estate brokerage announced the closures to employees in an email, which included two
other locations in South Philly. Workers like Alex Simpson say they were shocked.
I am pretty crushed, especially when it's such a blatant response to our union
process like this comes a week after we publicly announced our union, a week
after we publicly announced that we're going to use our right and it is their
right to unionize, that we're going to raise our own wages create more time
off for us. Not paying attention to the fact that that business, the
company that owns this is a real estate brokerage firm. Now, I don't
contend that every young person should track back to the characteristics of an ownership group,
right what is their actual business? I simply point this out that a
real estate brokerage firm, if they're having coffee shops, is probably just,
hey, how can we have some cash flow to neutralize some cost before we
have let's say a renter. If we don't have a renter on that ground
flow, why don't we just have a house product something super super easy,
like putting junk coffee in a coffee shop and letting young people go in and
brew it up for folks make it look hip with cheap furniture, et cetera.
Why not do that? So they're shocked after they unionize that there's a
lockdown. So now they're protesting not the lockdown, but the closure. So
now they're protesting closure. And if you watch the video, and if you
didn't, they'll describe it to you. They're wearing, of course, humas
scarfs, because nothing says come into our store on the East Coast like a
hamas scarf. I don't know that the Jewish population in Philadelphia is as high
as it is in New York, but it's high, so they don't even
understand that. See, it's pretend adulthood. They're adulting. We're taking advantage
of our right to create a union. That is the right, but we're
not adulting when it comes to here, what are the risks of this?
It's a funny thing that happened when I worked at a grocery store back in
the day, which was gosh, it was fantastically well run. It was
called Tidymans And does it talk about this? I wish, you know what,
of my regrets in life, I should have just listened to my grandpa.
My grandpa said back in the day, he said to me. I
was sitting in his front room and he goes, toddo I want you to
know that John Anderson's son, he's cutting meat at Rosars and he's earning twenty
five dollars an hour. Now, this was in nineteen eighty five, and
I listened to that twenty five bucks a hour. I didn't get it.
Now. At the time, as Grandpa was talking to me about that,
I was working at a pizza place and I was learning at about twenty bucks
an hour plus tips. I didn't get it because the kid he was talking
about went on to be a regional manager of a grocery store and ended up
retiring with a gorgeous pension. So he'd never went out and had the big,
big, insane years that I did. But he also didn't have the
big bottom low years that I had in being a high risk like high reward
guy. Because sometimes you get those valleys of performance, they're not that great.
I was at Tidyman's when the union guy came in. Now, I
had just finished a work shift that I had been working overtime because someone couldn't
come in. So let's go through the math. I worked overtime because someone
couldn't come in, so I covered an I did an eight hour shift,
and then I did an eight hour shift, so that's sixteen hours, so
I got over time. This was around the time of Thanksgiving, so I
was getting a holiday bonus. Then I worked my regular next shift, which
was an early morning shift, so an eight and an eight sixteen. I
was about four hours into my morning shift, so I was on my twelfth
and at c sixteen, I was on my twentieth hour of work and my
boss Jack came in. He comes into the back door. He looks at
him. He goes, hey, Tod, good morning, and he's and
he goes on to because he goes, wait, wait, wait, have
you been home. No, I worked straight through. You have to leave.
You have to leave, like Jack, what's going on? He goes,
you gotta clock out. I go, okay, okay, we'll go
clock out. I head to the clock. He goes, wait, stop
and he looks at his watch. You can't clock out yet. You have
to clock out at the four hour point. I'll stand here to help you.
Jack. I know when the fower or far point is because no,
no, oh my gosh, and he's I mean, he's sweating, so
at the fur parties clock out, So I do. I turned him.
I go, what's going on? He goes, TOD, You're earning one
hundred and twenty eight bucks an hour. What one hundred and twenty what are
you talking about? And he went through the math, double shifts, overnights,
holiday pay, triple shift to holiday pay. It just it compounded into
this thing where like for the past I don't know how long I've been earning
one hundred and twenty eight bucks an hour. I remember, go home and
tell my mom about this. So just after this happened, a guy from
the union came in and he was allowed to come and present to us.
So I sat and listened, and at the end of his presentation, I
raised my hand. Yeah, I go, So do you guys at the
union shop do you get stock in the company? Well, no, but
we have guaranteed work hours. Well so do I do you pay overtime?
Well? Yeah, I know, We've got great overtime rules. Really,
because I just turned one hundred and twenty eight bucks an hour and overtime,
do you do that? You didn't get out in twenty bicks an hour?
I did, And then I asked him a question about ownership and I got
out my paycheck and I said, I own part of this company, and
if I work here five years and I leave, they have to buy me
out of my ownership at the current value of the company. Do you guys
have this? Well, no, but we've got guaranteed hours. And that's
what it came down to. Now. I know that there's some situations where
unions are very, very helpful, but in this case in the coffee shop,
this fake adulting ended up into people not really understanding the circumstances of what
they're asking for and what they're trying to do to business owners. There is
also this though, there is a in the United States where people are not
just having nostalgia for their childhood, they're spending a lot of money on nostalgia
for their childhood. I'll talk about that. It's money that maybe people shouldn't
be spending. Look, I stand accused and convicted. I've let a lot
of money slip through my fingers. So when it came time to really get
serious about retirement, I just my wife and I just decided to get out
of our way and we sent our money to Zach Abraham at Bolwerk Capital Management
and I was going through this with him. He said, don't send it
all to me, because what if I have a bad year? What if
that's before you retire. So Zach is animated by two specific things. One
is risk management, and he accomplishes that through active management of every portfolio,
which can reduce risk and volatility. Now what this means is sometimes you will
not be getting the sugar hies. For instance, Zach may have a small
position in a video, although I think he sold it, but he is
not going to sit there and watch a company go up and up and up
and up ridiculously, knowing it must come down. So you might miss some
sugar heighs, but guess what else you lose the low lows. He's doing
the free live webinar and it's the focus of his life. Right now.
He's trying to warn people, people who are five, ten, fifteen years
from retirement. He's trying to explain to you that inflation is a silent assassin
of your portfolio. You might think you're ready to retire, but in these
inflationary times, are you locked? To Zach? Retirement means, in a
healthy sense, knowing exactly how much money you'll have every month, you can
get into this free live webinar ask questions here. Zach explained this watch him,
but you have to register. It's free, but you have to register.

future results. The adulting and the childing. There's a statement that I heard
someone describe once about America that Americans tend to amuse themselves to death. Well,
that's kind of true. Alcohol, drug use, over proliferated sexual activity
can all add up to that. Grown ups have now surpassed preschoolers in toy
consumption. They are now the most important group for toy retailers and manufacturers.
An example of this from the New York Post, Jason Giaftdler spends about four
eight hundred bucks per year on toys, twenty four hundred for himself and twenty
four hundred combined on his six and ten year old son's birthdays and Christmas presents,
so two kids, one adult, same amount of money. The thirty
nine year old tech sales rep who moonlights as a t toy influencer under the
moniker geek Dad Life, is among a booming group of grown ups who are
shelling out big bucks to collect action figures, trading cards, and Lego sets
that harken back to the youth in the nineteen eighties and nineties. Their love
of all things Star Wars, Marvel, Ghostbusters, and teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
is a bright, patchet and otherwise bleak outlook for the toy industry. It's
no wonder the toymakers, including Mattel, Hasbro and Lego are working drinking age
consumers. Lego has someone on staff whose job is to outreach to afl Afol's
adult fans for life of Legos, who are buying two hundred dollars sets,
explained jamie' z ann, editor of Toy Insider. Indeed, Lego sells for
adults these kits that are far price here, including a Titanic set that sells
for six hundred and seventy nine bucks. And a Star Wars Millennium Falcon price
to eight hundred and forty nine, almost eight hundred and fifty bucks. In
another key trend, grown ups are buying coll flectible plush toys reminiscent of the
Beanie babies and cabbage patch dolls that spark frenzies in the nineteen eighties and nineties.
I'm not here to be your judge. God gets to do that.
I spend a ton of money on fitness, and people could say that's the
equivalent of toys. I disagree, because of course it's providing me better health,
and I think better mental health and the sense of community, all of
that, friends and activity. But go ahead and criticize me child like thoughts.
See, this is something that the culture has pushed down. I had
once heard about U turns in so called gay communities, same sex attracted communities,
and it hurt someone at one point whispered that they're homophobic. Well apparently
they are, so much so that in Los Angeles, where their water pipes
are leaking up to seventy three percent of reclaimable water ending money. So go
take down U turn signs. A man dressed as a cartoon version of a
prostitute dash stripper helps celebrate this. LA City Council members you Go Sodo Martinez
and Nythia Rahman were on hand today to help remove the signs. They say
the no cruising and no U turn signs were put up in the nineteen nineties
to prevent people in the gay community from meeting up with other gay people.
I was also surprised that these U turn signs were still up, and at
first, you know, they seem a little oh okay, it's just a
no U turn sign. But when you learn the history of it and you
realize that these were used to profile gay people, it's so important that we
have these removed. The La City Council members say the signs were put up
after the gay community began to grow and because there was a gay bar in
that area. Now the facts that or the idea that this pretends had prevented
people from meeting up. Really, because I've lived in California, there was
a lot of meeting up going on. But it's not just that particular intersection.
There's others in other areas of California. Another man pretending to be a
woman. No U turn signs are homophobic In Silver Lake, and here's why.
Hey everybody, it's maybe so a couple of days ago, I Bee,
by the way, this is a man whose name pretend name is maybe
a girl. That's clever. I stood a video on TikTok and on Instagram
that was detailing the removal of the last no U turn signs associated with a
no cruising ordinance here in Los Angeles and claimed it as an anti LGBTQIA issue.
And folks were asking, how can a no U turn sign be homophobic?
How is that anti LGBTA. Of course the homophobes, the transphobes came
out and mass and were saying, Yo, this is just a no U
turn sign. Now making a U turn is homophobic. Well, I'm here
to give you a little history lesson about why the no U turn signs in
Silver Lake actually are homophobic. So this story goes back to nineteen eighty eights.
July twenty seventh, nineteen eighty eight, a story came out in the
LA Times that was actually my second birthday. This was almost thirty six years
ago, and it detailed how cruising had been outlawed here in Los Angeles.
Cruising was outlawed in Washington State, about the same time in Spokane, and
it wasn't around what was called And this is it's an offensive term, and
I recognize it. It's offensive. I'm just being accurate. There was a
cruising area in downtown Spokane called the fruit Loop, and it's where male prostitutes
walked. He wanted to pick up a man who's i'll be a young person
being sex trafficked. You went to the fruit Loop. That was not shut
down. The cruising for high school kids was shut down. Cruising was being
shut down across the country because it was destroying the ability for people to go
to dinners in theaters. Honestly, in downtown Spokane, cruising was obscenely bizarre.
The entire downtown core was locked up for five or six hours a night
with aimlessly people aimlessly sitting in cars. I'm talking about thousands of cars.
If you've never saw cruising at its height, there was no reason to ever
go to downtown Spokane for any event at all because you couldn't get there.
But of course it's homophobic. Now the iriy to me is, of course
that's a man pretending to be a woman talking about things that are homophobic but
not misogynistic. They can't see this. The great tragedy of these attitudes that
are being pushed down upon young people to me manifest so well in this video
from a young person. I fully recognize that people who are are genuinely confused
genuinely have either body dysmorphia, they hate their bodies, they have genuine gender
dysphor you that is, they really don't think they were supposed to be the
sex they are. I recognize the pain of that. Most of what we're
seeing right now is not that it's gender denial. It's gender rebellion. It's
code shifting, it's popularizing, it's trying to join a group, it's insulating
oneself against having been sexually assaulted, which is a case of all too many
girls. This young person isn't just denying their sex, they're denying their species.
Now, this could be, and praise God if it is just a
phase with this young person, but I'm here to tell you there are young
people who firmly believe this, and there is going to be as soon as
the drugs are available to do this, and the surgeries are available. As
soon as it's a big enough market, niche medical providers will step in to
say hey, let's make you this thing. I am a Robert or Android
of suits. I am not human, and I lack the ability to fully
act human because since I spawned in this human body I have not been able
to access the Internet and download new ways of acting. I have transcripts for
every way of acting and reacting to different things, and I'll lack new ones
due to not being able to connect to the Internet anymore. So there I
cannot always react accordingly to new things because I cannot look it up anymore and
do not know how to act and react. But I can post a TikTok
in my rainbow shirt with my rainbow flag in the back. There are former
people in the wait, cool hunters as it were, monitoring the trends,
and when enough young people get to that point of thinking that they'll be there,
we can help you with your true species, which is apparently not human.
They're coming for the water, They're coming for the kids. Thank God,
God wins. Thank God for the common blessings. Thank God that we
stand in victory with him. Thank you God for the ability to speak together
today. We'll be back tomorrow. And what are we doing tomorrow? Oh
Zach, Oh, this is good. Should we pray for the US dollar
to fail? Plus this cheap fakes thing I'm telling you that's going to turn
into policy. That's tomorrow The Todd Herman Show. Lord, thank you for
the opportunity to visit together day. This is The Todd Herman Show. Please
go, be well, be strong, be kind to please make every effort
to walk in the light of Christ.
