This is a five minute focus for
the thirtieth of April twenty twenty four.

00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:09.240
Thank you to alansoaps dot com.
Slash Todd is on a godly mission to

3
00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:13.359
employ young people that the party would
rather see dead. It's blunt, but

4
00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:18.239
that's what they do. All natural
soap, made in America, absolutely brilliant.

5
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:25.480
Praise God. The Todd Herman Show
is one hundred percent disapproved by big

6
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:33.960
pharma technocrats and tyrants everywhere. No
from the high mountains of Free America.

7
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:48.960
Here's the Emerald City exile Tod Herman. Today is a day the Lord has

8
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.840
made, and these are the times
in which God is decided we shall live.

9
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:54.640
Welcome to the five minute Focus.
My opportunity to share with you what's

10
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:58.880
coming up in the next couple hours
of podcasting in a super easy way to

11
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:00.320
share the show with friends. If
this has been shared with you, it's

three cameras, big TV studio God
built for us. Just go to

15
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.959
video dot The Todd Herman Show dot
com. First time I met Wade Lightheart,

16
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.000
one of the co founders of Optimizers, who had a business meeting,

17
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.000
and at the end of the business
discussion, I said, dude, would

18
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.159
you ever come on my podcast.
You're going to see why. I've developed

19
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:32.519
what we evangelicals call a burden for
speaking in to the lives of young people,

20
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.000
probably because I get so much out
of it. I get to work

21
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:41.319
with young guys in the church ministry, and I'm fed by it, probably

22
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:45.879
more than they are. But because
I've stumbled through life in some ways and

23
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:51.760
made some pretty significant mistakes and I'm
still okay during thanks to God, I

24
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:57.480
feel this burden to help young men. Wade Lightheart grew up poor, desperately

25
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.359
poor, but he always knew that
with work, it didn't need to stay

26
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:05.000
that way. I felt I got
a raw deal. I felt that my

27
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.280
life sucked. I felt that I
was being pushed down and nobody understood my

28
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:12.520
situation. I'm taken away from my
friends, I'm taken away from my environment.

29
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.280
I'm stuck in the middle of the
woods. And all I had was

30
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:23.840
this idea of what my life could
be, and the pathway was self discipline,

31
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:30.080
a positive attitude, and hard work. And he has very specific advice

32
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.360
for young men. This is one
of the reasons I wanted to have him

33
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:36.800
on is because he also likes to
speak into the minds and hearts of young

34
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:40.599
men, and this is about doing
things with intentionality, planning your life,

35
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:47.719
making goals that are huge and seemingly
impossible, the feeling of setting a long

36
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:55.479
term, difficult goal that is really
hard to get and actually achieving it.

37
00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:00.520
Because it was who I had become
in those tenters. I became someone that

38
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:05.560
could handle the obstacles of my life
where I was overwhelmed with them when I

39
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:07.800
was fifteen years old. Well,
we didn't sock specifics, but I hope

40
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:13.599
to one day as well. Wade
is also guided by what he calls the

41
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.960
Divine and of course what I call
the Lord Jesus. He wrapped it up

42
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:22.120
with some very specific advice for young
people, very very specific about how to

43
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:27.759
have a life that matters. The
first step is to become physically disciplined.

44
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:37.719
Number two, find a mentor.
The third element that you wanted to realize

45
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:45.960
is that financial success is important.
That's episode one thousand, five hundred and

46
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:49.680
sixty four notes to younger men,
do this, not that that's with Wade

47
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:53.120
Lightheart, one of the co founders
of by Optimizers. Episode one thousand,

48
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:57.560
five hundred and sixty five is entitled
what will the Biden generation remember about the

49
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:01.560
figureheads abuses? I do wonder about
this. What young people who are being

50
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:05.840
brought up under this figurehead or remember? Is it the banning of TikTok?

51
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:10.439
I think they'll remember that. I'll
remember it. I remember that they're Republicans

52
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.159
who want the government to have the
power to tell you where you get your

53
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:16.079
news because they've been bought off by
Facebook. I'll remember that. They might

54
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:23.560
remember an era where they were hated, where kids were hated and not wanted.

55
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:26.439
For the first time in our nation's
history, a thirty year old man

56
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:28.920
or woman isn't doing as well as
his or her parents were at thirty.

57
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:32.680
That is the social compact breaking down. People aged thirty to thirty four.

58
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:36.879
Sixty percent of them in nineteen ninety
had one child. Now it's twenty seven

59
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.199
percent. People are opting out of
America. They're not optimistic about it.

60
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:45.199
They're not having kids. Young people
aren't having sex. They're not meeting they're

61
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:50.079
not meeting the pool of emotionally and
economically viable men shrinks every day, which

62
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:56.040
lessens household formation. So we have
a real issue. Young people are enraged.

63
00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:00.120
So it turns every cut, every
movement into an opportunistic infection because quite

64
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.759
frankly, they are just pissed off. This author of a book, his

65
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:09.279
name is Scott Gallowa, is called
The Algebra of Wealth. The Algebra of

66
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:14.319
Wealth is partly about the growth of
a society. We'll talk later about the

67
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:20.199
fact that Politico ran an article accusing
the far right of doing something dastardly,

68
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:27.240
trying to get people to have more
babies. Good gracious, not that I

69
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:30.199
think that the people forced to be
brought up under the corrupt figurehead, who

70
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:32.839
is in fact satanic. He may
not know what, but he is.

71
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:38.120
Well. Remember the time that some
young women took a stand, young girls,

72
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:43.199
in fact, this was in West
Virginia. Riley Gaines called us our

73
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.480
attention or our attention to this.
It was at a shot put competition.

74
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:51.879
We ran the video last week of
girls refusing to participate because there was a

75
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:57.439
boy there to steal their metal,
which he in fact did. This got

76
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:00.000
noticed and one of these girls got
to go speak get a press conference.

77
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:04.079
Luckily, I found four lovely young
girls willing to take a stand with me.

78
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.959
I think I can speak for all
them when we say that we had

79
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.959
no clue that this was going to
be as big as a god, but

80
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:21.639
we knew that. We hope that
it opens eyes to many more to see

81
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:25.839
that this is not right and a
situation is eventually going to kill women's sports.

82
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.920
It's designed to kill women's sports.
It's designed to divide because, of

83
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:34.360
course it comes from the pit of
hell, and Satan always masquerades as an

84
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:39.040
angel of light, doesn't he.
That is the five minute focus. Please

85
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.480
do share it with friends. Much
more importantly, please go with God's good grace.
