00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Three Stories version of The Todd Herman Show.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:08,519
Story number one a super righteous North Carolina tax ruvolts,

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,160
You're probably not hearing about. Story number two President Trump's

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:16,079
very cool air Force hire, You're probably not hearing about.

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:21,600
And story number three was Esa the Bible a paragonon

6
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,359
of modern masculinity or of toxic masculinity, because now they're

7
00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:31,399
back the leftist church is all about toxic Biblical masculinity.

8
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,520
We'll talk about this with the help of a YouTube

9
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,039
channel YouTube dot com slash at the Todd Herman Show

10
00:00:36,359 --> 00:00:40,679
and speaking of God, Lord, thank you for another day

11
00:00:40,759 --> 00:00:41,600
you've made.

12
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,079
Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one percent disapproved by big

13
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:54,880
pharma technocrats in Tyrn Sabran Where from the hind mountains

14
00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:02,240
of Free American here's the Emerald City exime, Oh God

15
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:02,960
to her Man.

16
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made, and these

17
00:01:08,879 --> 00:01:13,480
are the times to which God has decided to show life.

18
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,120
Lots of changing under President Trump. Had a discussion yesterday

19
00:01:20,239 --> 00:01:23,200
with a friend of mine at church about the great changes,

20
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,719
the flooding the zone, the massive numbers of executive orders

21
00:01:27,799 --> 00:01:30,040
that he's forcing the left to figure out which one

22
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:33,560
to fight, the fact that he's not giving them a

23
00:01:33,719 --> 00:01:36,599
target to build their too minute tat on. There's just

24
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,040
too much going on, so they've retreated in the J six,

25
00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:41,560
they're going to try to make this attempt. And then

26
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,200
we also talked about some of the very scary things

27
00:01:44,239 --> 00:01:47,519
that are going on, such as the AI meeting. I

28
00:01:47,519 --> 00:01:50,560
don't want to Larry Ellison anywhere near my healthcare. In fact,

29
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,719
I won't have Larry Ellison anywhere near my healthcare or

30
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,159
anything that comes out of the CDC or the federal governments. No,

31
00:01:58,359 --> 00:02:02,959
but there's something happening beneath the lines. And as we're

32
00:02:02,959 --> 00:02:06,920
watching President Trump restructured governments, we're starting to see some

33
00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:10,560
signs of what it could be. There are bureaucrats who fled,

34
00:02:10,759 --> 00:02:16,159
they're brewing, and there's been announcements. You can flee and

35
00:02:16,199 --> 00:02:18,800
you can burrow, but we're going to go aheads and

36
00:02:19,159 --> 00:02:23,479
demote you and relocate you. We can't fire you because

37
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,120
the civil service stuff is so insane. They can't fire

38
00:02:27,199 --> 00:02:32,159
these people, but they can relocate them. We're going to

39
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,879
move you out of the Beltway. We can demote you.

40
00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:38,439
And that's the sort of thing that's going to I

41
00:02:38,479 --> 00:02:42,120
think create self deportation. But there's something else. The America

42
00:02:42,199 --> 00:02:46,879
first thing is real, and I don't think people have

43
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,800
given enough credence to how close this country was to

44
00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:58,240
a real, four reel, actual revolt because Biden was so

45
00:02:58,439 --> 00:03:03,599
clearly inept and so clearly allowed great evil to be

46
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,080
done through him. It was so clearly thought up to

47
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,240
the task of being president, It was so clearly not

48
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:13,120
running things. And Kamala Harris was so clearly installed as

49
00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:16,159
the nominee. There was well she wasn't the nominee, there

50
00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:20,439
was no nominating process, and the mockingbird media so clearly

51
00:03:20,479 --> 00:03:23,759
tried to shove it down people's throats. They so clearly

52
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,680
tried to pretend there was some special form of affection

53
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,240
for Kamala Harris and this organic bubbling up and the

54
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:36,400
joy of the campaign. Had they actually rigged this thing

55
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,960
and gotten away with it, this country I think would

56
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,000
have exploded into sparks of violence. And I mean that

57
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,800
I'm not wishing for that, don't wish it for that

58
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,400
at all. I don't think people realized how close we

59
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,319
were about a couple hours. No, it was a couple

60
00:03:53,360 --> 00:04:00,759
of days before the figureheads stopped being the figurehead. He

61
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:04,520
demonstrated what his figurehead ship was all about. This is

62
00:04:04,759 --> 00:04:09,680
while the people of California were still suffering to the fires,

63
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,400
and I know there's still fires going on there. May

64
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,000
God be with the folks in California. Well that was

65
00:04:14,039 --> 00:04:19,000
going on while FEMA was still apparently doing everything they

66
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:21,839
could to not help the people in North Carolina because

67
00:04:21,879 --> 00:04:24,560
President Trump is all of a sudden has money for them,

68
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,160
how because he took it away from the illegal immigrant programs,

69
00:04:28,959 --> 00:04:30,519
so now it can be given to where it was

70
00:04:30,519 --> 00:04:32,319
supposed to go in the first place, which is to

71
00:04:32,319 --> 00:04:36,839
help people recover from national disasters. But weeks or not

72
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,600
weeks days before he left, Biden reminded us who he

73
00:04:40,759 --> 00:04:43,959
is with all those events going on, all those people suffering,

74
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,160
here's the figurehead. And I want to be clear.

75
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,639
Speaker 2: We're not waiting until those fires are over to start

76
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:51,480
helping the victims.

77
00:04:52,079 --> 00:04:54,079
Speaker 1: We're getting in help right now, as you all know,

78
00:04:54,959 --> 00:04:57,399
people impacted by these fires who are going to receive

79
00:04:57,439 --> 00:05:02,839
He's reading, reading a piece of paper, a script in

80
00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:03,360
front of him.

81
00:05:03,399 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 2: He one time payment of seven hundred and seventy.

82
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: Dollars seven hundred and seventy dollars y'all, one time payment

83
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:13,360
so they can quickly purchase things like water. They can

84
00:05:13,439 --> 00:05:18,040
purchase it's like water because FEMA doesn't happen before prescriptions.

85
00:05:18,639 --> 00:05:23,120
So far, nearly six thousand survivors have registered to do

86
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:28,000
just that and five one million dollars has gone out.

87
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,120
Five point one million dollars. Wow.

88
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:32,519
Speaker 3: Wow.

89
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:42,079
Speaker 1: He in the same timeframe figure headed his way into

90
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:50,759
three point five billion dollars for the retirement funds of

91
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:58,480
government workers in Ukraine, the most important country in the world.

92
00:06:00,519 --> 00:06:05,839
We were that close had this continued, we were that

93
00:06:05,959 --> 00:06:11,079
close to actual I think explosions of violence. I really

94
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,360
believe that there's a righteous tax revolt that's going on.

95
00:06:15,439 --> 00:06:17,879
I don't think you've heard enough about this, so I'm

96
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,800
going to tell you about this right after I share

97
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,319
this with you. I was just going through my quarterly

98
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,040
plan on how I'm going to work with bioptimizers and

99
00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:27,800
the things I'm going to have, and it occurred to me,

100
00:06:27,879 --> 00:06:29,600
I haven't shared with you the products that I have

101
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,120
on autoship with these guys. Now this is me se

102
00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:35,199
You're going to have needs that I might not have.

103
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,920
For instance, they have a product that is designed to

104
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,800
help people right size their blood sugar levels and This

105
00:06:42,879 --> 00:06:46,360
is called barbean breakthrough. I don't need that. My blood

106
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,439
sugar is good, so I'm not going to be buying that.

107
00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:51,839
You might need that mushroom breakthrough. We haven't talked about

108
00:06:51,879 --> 00:06:54,079
in a long time. I'm ordering this. This is something

109
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,439
I drink with my coffee. I'll put this on autoship.

110
00:06:56,879 --> 00:06:59,040
It's not on autoship right now. This is something I

111
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,079
drink with my coffee that delivers me a real sense

112
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,240
of mental focus. And you know what the other thing is.

113
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,959
I noticed this, and this is before Adox came on board.

114
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,079
Nanna said that I was in a better mood when

115
00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:11,000
I had my mushroom breakthrough. She could actually say to

116
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,199
me one day, you didn't drink mushroom breakthrough because you

117
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,839
didn't come in a sense of calm. So here's what's

118
00:07:14,839 --> 00:07:17,759
an autoship with me. P three am. This is a

119
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,160
it's a probiotic mass. That's a probiotic mass. SIMS is

120
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,959
a probiotic and that makes sure that I get as

121
00:07:25,079 --> 00:07:29,480
much protein digested as possible. It's phenomenal the amount of

122
00:07:29,519 --> 00:07:31,959
lift you get in terms of amino acid production in

123
00:07:31,959 --> 00:07:36,360
your body. It's insane. Mushroom breakthrough obviously, and then I

124
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:41,120
take an HCl this it's to boost the hydrochloric acid

125
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,839
in your stomach. Now I use that for a hack,

126
00:07:44,079 --> 00:07:47,079
and I don't really need it, accept when I go

127
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,560
out on my gorging days, because once a week I

128
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,680
go gorge on pizza and Caesar salad, my beloved pizza

129
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,680
paste and Embers on the lake. And when I do that,

130
00:07:55,879 --> 00:07:58,040
I go in four thousand calories in a hole. But

131
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,240
I sit there and eat twenty nine hundred calori, he said,

132
00:08:00,279 --> 00:08:04,079
about an hour. So you figure out why I like

133
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,040
that stuff in my stomach and stuff like that. That's

134
00:08:06,079 --> 00:08:08,639
what's an autoship with me. You saved ten percent on

135
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,319

141
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:33,679
com slash Todd. There is a very righteous tax revolt

142
00:08:34,159 --> 00:08:37,559
that to me speaks to what we were about to

143
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,799
see in this country. Because I was nearing a point

144
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:46,159
where I wouldn't be able to pay taxes anymore. I

145
00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:51,360
waited until December thirty first to allow the government to

146
00:08:51,399 --> 00:08:55,720
seize from me thirty four thousand dollars. And I did

147
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,399
that late, and praise God, I had the money because

148
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:04,039
I was way really to see if they stopped President

149
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,240
Trump from taking office. I didn't wait till January twentieth,

150
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:11,960
because the fine was just going to be insane. But

151
00:09:12,039 --> 00:09:16,919
I waited that long on purpose, and I knew I

152
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,320
was inning into a year where I might not have

153
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,679
been able to pay taxes to that government. I was

154
00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:27,039
that close. Had they done what they said they were

155
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,320
going to do, Kamala Harris and the people who run

156
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,159
them and Joe Biden, had they installed in this country

157
00:09:34,639 --> 00:09:38,120
the right for government officials to seize your kids if

158
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,279
you wouldn't pretend that they're a hippopotamus, well, I mean,

159
00:09:42,399 --> 00:09:46,559
or you know, a boy or a girl. I couldn't

160
00:09:46,639 --> 00:09:51,279
pay taxes, and I talked to my wife about this.

161
00:09:51,039 --> 00:09:56,080
This at that point, that level of godlessness I can't support.

162
00:09:57,879 --> 00:10:03,360
I think we were that close. The challenge is that

163
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:08,360
there has been no change in many bureaucratic minds, even

164
00:10:09,399 --> 00:10:17,320
in a place like Buncombee, North Carolina. They told their

165
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,399
residents they were going to have to pay property taxes

166
00:10:20,519 --> 00:10:29,360
on homes that no longer existed, and funny thing happened.

167
00:10:29,399 --> 00:10:33,279
They are falling really, really shorts on their tax collection.

168
00:10:33,399 --> 00:10:33,879
Praise guys.

169
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 4: Hey, the county is going to have to take unexpected

170
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,799
mid year reductions due to a loss of revenue.

171
00:10:39,159 --> 00:10:39,519
Speaker 1: She says.

172
00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 4: Their biggest loss is from property tax collections. We are

173
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:46,519
way under collecting where we should be at this point.

174
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,279
We are normally at about a ninety nine point seven

175
00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:52,679
ninety nine point nine percent collection rate, and we are

176
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,120
falling way short of that. And taking a look at

177
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,399
their economic conditions, in October, the county went from having

178
00:10:59,399 --> 00:11:03,159
the state's lowest unemployment rate to the highest. New construction

179
00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:06,759
is down significantly, as are both sales and occupancy tax

180
00:11:07,399 --> 00:11:09,879
right now, the county's budget for this fiscal year is

181
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,320
four hundred and forty four point six million dollars. Their

182
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,120
biggest expense by cost is salaries and benefits. To help

183
00:11:17,159 --> 00:11:19,600
on that front, there is a hiring freeze for county

184
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,039
employees and the Sheriff's office. While there are eighty.

185
00:11:22,879 --> 00:11:26,879
Speaker 1: Nine notice a hiring freeze but not a contraction in.

186
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 4: Labor vacancies, and no estimate for when the freeze will end.

187
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,919
This should save around four point two million dollars. The

188
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,240
county is also asking both Ashville City and Bunckham County

189
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,559
Schools to each give up four percent of what the

190
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,600
county normally provides. This means that Ashville City could lose

191
00:11:43,639 --> 00:11:47,279
around seven hundred and eighteen thousand dollars and Bunckham County

192
00:11:47,279 --> 00:11:49,360
Schools could lose close to four million.

193
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: But no bureaucots using their jobs under that can't have that.

194
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,519
Speaker 4: Right in the middle of their school years.

195
00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: The reality of it is the four percent is going

196
00:11:59,279 --> 00:12:02,440
to hit both to tricks incredibly hard. There's no way

197
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:02,879
around it.

198
00:12:02,919 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 5: We understand that the accounting commissioners are going to consider

199
00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:08,480
a decision that they would rather not consider.

200
00:12:08,799 --> 00:12:09,919
Speaker 4: But at the same time, a.

201
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 5: Significant cut to our budget potentially could significantly impact our

202
00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:18,679
ability to serve our students and families.

203
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: But no cuts a bureaucrats, no furloughing. So what things

204
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,879
you could do is work every other day and have

205
00:12:31,919 --> 00:12:37,039
a commensurate reduction. It's always this happens in the real

206
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,679
world when there's a massive contraction in the real world

207
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:47,000
people sometimes are furloughed. Sometimes you give employees a choice.

208
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,639
I've worked places where bosses have said, hey, you know

209
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,480
we had this a stupid pizza place. Well this was

210
00:12:55,519 --> 00:12:57,960
is stupid. It's actually a great pizza place. But we

211
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,159
had a month of the absurd weather and I was

212
00:13:02,279 --> 00:13:05,519
one of the managers there in high school. With this

213
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,080
absurd weather, we couldn't deliver pizzas. We got very few

214
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,759
people in and the boss just drew us all together

215
00:13:11,799 --> 00:13:16,120
and said, okay, here's the deal. We had such a badge,

216
00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:20,039
like forty five days. I can't continue to pay everybody.

217
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,759
So what do we want to do. We had a

218
00:13:21,799 --> 00:13:25,919
discussion about it. What if we just reduce our hours

219
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,840
work every other day. The folks that are here apply

220
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,799
extra effort, and it's not something that we can keep up,

221
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,120
like it just running and running and running. But if

222
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,399
it means that few people get fired or no one

223
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,039
gets fired, we do. That's it's a pizza place. We

224
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:47,960
like fifteen employees. But this somehow cannot happen. In government,

225
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,720
people refused to pay their property taxes because they don't

226
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,720
have the property. Now, if you take that and you

227
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:01,960
multiply it against where people's emotions are in regard to

228
00:14:02,039 --> 00:14:04,519
a godless governments. Do you think I was the only

229
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:09,360
one who was looking at a government's ready to legalize

230
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,840
the seizing of kids because parents wouldn't look at their

231
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,559
little boy and say, yes, son, you are a hippopotamus.

232
00:14:16,759 --> 00:14:20,799
I couldn't have been. One day this country will face

233
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,600
a reckoning on the godless things we do pay for.

234
00:14:24,159 --> 00:14:27,559
And I'll tell you what if I have major concerns

235
00:14:27,559 --> 00:14:30,440
about Judgment Day. I know I'm saved. I know I've

236
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,759
accepted the Lord Jesus is my Lord and savior. I

237
00:14:32,799 --> 00:14:35,200
know I do everything I can to abide, and I

238
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:40,799
know I messed it up really really bad. But I

239
00:14:40,799 --> 00:14:46,679
also wonder about this, how many of US Americans on

240
00:14:46,799 --> 00:14:50,200
Judgment Day will kneel before the throne and the Lord

241
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,799
will say, why did you pay taxes to support abortion?

242
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:03,279
Was my teaching not clear on this? Did the apostles say, yeah,

243
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,639
we'll follow the governments right up and tell you tell

244
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,919
us to stop preaching the word of God my word?

245
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,320
In other words, if he was speaking to us, and

246
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,720
did you see them not do that? So why did

247
00:15:15,759 --> 00:15:22,080
you continue to support things like that? What's the answer? Well,

248
00:15:22,159 --> 00:15:24,480
the honest answer in my heart is, Lord, I didn't

249
00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:31,039
hear you clearly say stop. But in regard to seizing

250
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:36,039
kids to force parents to accept a delusion, I did

251
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:42,639
hear God's voice. You can't pay for that. Praise God

252
00:15:42,639 --> 00:15:45,120
that he made that voice clear, and praise God that

253
00:15:45,159 --> 00:15:47,600
President Trump got in there to stop that. I'm still

254
00:15:47,639 --> 00:15:51,399
waiting on the ban that he promised. We'll see if

255
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:56,039
that comes through. Story number two. Of all the things

256
00:15:56,159 --> 00:16:01,240
President Trump has done, I've had the biggest thrill out

257
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,200
of one single hire because of the way it was done.

258
00:16:05,159 --> 00:16:07,080
And this is something that President Trump will do that

259
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,720
no other Republican would ever think of doing or ever

260
00:16:09,759 --> 00:16:12,720
get near doing. And it speaks to his personality and

261
00:16:12,759 --> 00:16:16,200
it could be a judgment issue. You know, you can

262
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,559
all have love at first sight and then you figure out, wow,

263
00:16:18,639 --> 00:16:21,000
that person's a mess, or respect at first sight, Wow,

264
00:16:21,039 --> 00:16:24,759
that person's a mess. That's what happens here. It's a

265
00:16:24,799 --> 00:16:27,480
great sign of who President Trump can be when he

266
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,320
wants to be. And man is their shakeup. The JFK,

267
00:16:33,399 --> 00:16:36,440
RFK MLK junior files are coming out, or a bunch

268
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,440
of them, and the way that these executive orders are written.

269
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,679
You know, that the bureaucratic agencies are going to do

270
00:16:41,679 --> 00:16:44,000
everything they can to say, well, give them this, but

271
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,840
not this. So I'll spend the weekends reading as much

272
00:16:47,879 --> 00:16:50,159
of this stuff as I can and other people who've

273
00:16:50,159 --> 00:16:52,399
read it, so we can talk about this. If this

274
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,480
is coming from the FBI, it might shock you, but

275
00:16:54,519 --> 00:16:58,440
I might not trust the FBI just for whatever reason.

276
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:03,159
Don't know why. So President Trump ordered these declassifications, and

277
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:04,839
this is part of what he did.

278
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,839
Speaker 3: Lastly, sir, we have an executive order ordering the.

279
00:17:07,799 --> 00:17:12,839
Speaker 1: Declassification of files relating to the assassinations of President John F.

280
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 6: Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Reverend Doctor Martin Luther

281
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:17,920
King juniors.

282
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 2: A big one, huh.

283
00:17:20,079 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: A lot of people are waiting for this for along,

284
00:17:22,039 --> 00:17:25,039
for years, for decades.

285
00:17:27,799 --> 00:17:40,799
Speaker 3: So Trumphian man, okay.

286
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 2: Give that you.

287
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: R K Junior is gonna get the pen with which

288
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,839
the President say is so trumpious. Everybody knows whos been

289
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,920
waiting for decades. But President Trump needs to repeat that.

290
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,720
The man honestly, let's just be honest. He lives for affirmation.

291
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,799
He absolutely lives for this, and it's it's gosh, it's

292
00:17:59,799 --> 00:18:02,599
good to be a problem. The flattery thing works. All

293
00:18:02,599 --> 00:18:05,160
of a sudden, we're buddy buddy with Mark Zuckerberg. All

294
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,799
of a sudden, we're buddy buddy with Larry Ellison, who's,

295
00:18:07,839 --> 00:18:09,920
by the way, a little bit better politically because he's

296
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,160
so tied into the Defense Department. But the Defense department's

297
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,200
a loss institution these days. So that was a cool moment.

298
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,400
But there's another cool moment, and it goes to a higher.

299
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:23,119
He made a military higher. There are all sorts of

300
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,039
videos and we'll get to some of these next week

301
00:18:25,279 --> 00:18:29,759
of military guys saying, thank god, President Trump's here. He's

302
00:18:29,759 --> 00:18:31,519
going to get us out of these wars. He's going

303
00:18:31,519 --> 00:18:33,799
to put pressure on Russia to settle the thing in Ukraine.

304
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,200
I don't know if you saw this, but Zelensky has

305
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,519
said what he wants now is American boots on the ground.

306
00:18:42,079 --> 00:18:47,440
That's that's his next step, because that'll really stop the war.

307
00:18:48,519 --> 00:18:51,640
Good idea, Let's put our boots on the ground and

308
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,319
get into World War three on your behalf, because you're

309
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,319
not corrupt enough. I've seen a lot of guys in

310
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,279
the military thing for this. My friend Tim Krukshe because

311
00:19:00,319 --> 00:19:03,039
the founder and CEO of Bone Frog coffee and Bone

312
00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:06,319
Frog sellers. He celebrated this set me a notes on

313
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,039
Inauguration Day. We're getting our country back. There's a lot

314
00:19:10,079 --> 00:19:12,839
of relief. Friend of mine who was a Navy seal,

315
00:19:13,079 --> 00:19:15,559
not Tim, his name is Cody, sent me a note

316
00:19:15,559 --> 00:19:19,119
as well, saying there's signs of hope, and he gotten

317
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,039
to a point where he was starting to regret his

318
00:19:21,079 --> 00:19:25,599
military service because of what the country was becoming. Praise

319
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,400
God that these guys and women can breathe a little

320
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,640
bit more free and have a little bit of job enthusiasm.

321
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,240
Tim's job now is different. It is running a coffee

322
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,480
company and a wine company. Bone Frog Coffee has become

323
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,319
it's become pretty solid. We still need to break through

324
00:19:43,319 --> 00:19:45,319
on some things. The biggest thing we need to break

325
00:19:45,319 --> 00:19:49,200
through on with Tim is subscription coffee. So if you've

326
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,160
been drinking the coffee and you have it shipped to

327
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,880
you when you go and order it, A, that's a

328
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:58,039
bothersome process. B. It doesn't help us grow the company

329
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,160
with predictable revenues. I don't want you to do this

330
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,119
just to grow the company. Even though it says God,

331
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,240
Country team own it. Even though people love Crook Shank

332
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,880
and his story was a Navy seal three deployments on

333
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,160

342
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:44,720
So President Trump announced a very very cool hire. It's

343
00:20:44,759 --> 00:20:46,960
cool because of the way it came about. You might

344
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:47,640
remember this.

345
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:50,839
Speaker 2: Here.

346
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 6: I got it, mister President. First off, I want to

347
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,200
speak on behalf of everyone here and say thank you

348
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,640
for taking time tonight to thank me for our troops.

349
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,759
Thank you, thank you.

350
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: We got a lot of good looking men of this audience,

351
00:21:07,519 --> 00:21:11,319
so trophy a lot of good looking women.

352
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 3: Also.

353
00:21:11,799 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: By the way, by the way, this dude is a

354
00:21:14,039 --> 00:21:16,640
good looking dude. I mean, I'm not that way you know,

355
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,720
not that there's anything wrong. So it's a sideful joke.

356
00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:22,880
I'm not that way. But he's clearly good looking, are

357
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:23,519
you do.

358
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:24,519
Speaker 3: You think he's good looking?

359
00:21:25,559 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: He's well, okay, right, the scideful reference. So this guy's

360
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,160
name is Matthew Lomyer and he's on stage with President Trump,

361
00:21:33,319 --> 00:21:35,920
and President Trump's now going to say we got good

362
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,200
looking dudes. Are you gonna not address the women?

363
00:21:38,799 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 2: Thank you very much.

364
00:21:40,319 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 6: Okay, go ahead, I'm going to revisit something you've talked

365
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,640
about already. My name is Matt Lomier, is an Air

366
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,200
Force F fifteen pilot, and I was a commander in

367
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:57,279
your newly created US Space Force. I am also the

368
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,599
first veteran of the Space Force because i'm the Biden

369
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,079
Harris regime. I was fired for my command and lost

370
00:22:04,079 --> 00:22:07,599
my pension for criticizing DEI trainings that were rampant in

371
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:14,759
the military. Those trainings are still dividing our troops. And

372
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,200
thank you for saying you would fire those few woke

373
00:22:17,319 --> 00:22:20,720
generals who are a big problem. Big I'm going to

374
00:22:20,799 --> 00:22:26,240
suggest that it might in fact require ongoing oversight and

375
00:22:26,319 --> 00:22:31,759
a persistent, consistent watchful eye within the Pentagon to ensure

376
00:22:31,839 --> 00:22:35,160
this monster never returns to the Defense Department. Will you

377
00:22:35,319 --> 00:22:42,119
consider establishing a special task force office or position to

378
00:22:42,319 --> 00:22:45,480
ensure that these monsters never returned to the Defense Department?

379
00:22:45,599 --> 00:22:47,480
Well do, and I'm pretty good at this stuff.

380
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes you get it wrong. I'm going to put you

381
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,079
on that task force. I think it's good, not going

382
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,039
to do better than hell.

383
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:54,279
Speaker 2: I'll put you on.

384
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,519
Speaker 6: Make sure you give them a fancier a beautiful man, Mike.

385
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: I have your approval, Yes, sir, I have your approval.

386
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,079
We're not going to get better than him.

387
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 2: You're right about it. You're right.

388
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,039
Speaker 3: I'm saying, thank you.

389
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: He did it. He's going to be the next under

390
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:22,160
Secretary of the Air Force. He's not on the committee,

391
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:29,279
he's the undersecretary. The president is making a habit of

392
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,440
hiring people who actually did the work. You know, I

393
00:23:33,519 --> 00:23:36,119
don't watch TV, and we have to have a TV

394
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:42,160
for many, many years, like twenty but one show I

395
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:47,720
remember that actually had some virtue to it was The

396
00:23:48,079 --> 00:23:52,640
Undercover Boston Secret CEO where they go in to the

397
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:57,319
businesses they run and discover sometimes great things, sometimes awful

398
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:02,160
things like wait, we're doing what I remember A couple

399
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,920
of different episodes. One was a cookie company. Was it

400
00:24:06,039 --> 00:24:08,920
missus Fields? I can't remember, but it was one of

401
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,839
the fact I can't remember that name. But they used

402
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,440
to be right next door to the radio station in

403
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:14,759
Salt Lake City. Do what I worked there at I

404
00:24:14,799 --> 00:24:18,680
weighs well about four hundred pounds, so I'd like to

405
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,160
be some cookies. And they gave away cookies because they'd

406
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,440
come out and taste tests. Anyway, she went into her

407
00:24:25,559 --> 00:24:28,920
some of her franchises as a, you know, an employee,

408
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,759
and she walked in one morning and the lady said, Okay,

409
00:24:32,759 --> 00:24:34,519
this is gonna be a tough day. We don't have

410
00:24:34,559 --> 00:24:37,720
cookie dough for the following cookies. These are best sellers,

411
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,559
so we're gonna try to push some other cookies, but

412
00:24:39,599 --> 00:24:42,599
people are gonna be upset. And also some people have

413
00:24:42,759 --> 00:24:46,279
pre ordered these cookies and we're just not gonna be

414
00:24:46,279 --> 00:24:48,200
able to fulfill those orders, so we're gonna give them

415
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,200
other cookies. We can't really give him discounts. But and

416
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,960
she's she's the boss, going what, yeah, it's gonna be

417
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,640
some really upset customers. So she discovered that, okay, we're

418
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,880
not supporting a franchise ease. They got to be able

419
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,359
to have this. This is one of the reasons they

420
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,279
pay us. And she made changes and went back to

421
00:25:09,319 --> 00:25:12,039
that franchise and said, I'm bringing you on the team.

422
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,440
I want you to let people manage your stores. I'm

423
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,079
going to pay you extra. I want you to come

424
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,319
and get this figured out with us. The other was

425
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,559
a hardware store and this guy went ins and he

426
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,039
was the chief, one of the chiefs big bosses at

427
00:25:26,039 --> 00:25:29,119
the hardware store. And he's in there working and there's

428
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:34,680
a guy who's utterly brilliant, knows all the tools and

429
00:25:34,759 --> 00:25:37,160
knows where they're all set up. He has all sorts

430
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,519
of construction background. He can help people figure out which

431
00:25:40,519 --> 00:25:41,920
tools to use, how to get it done, and give

432
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,039
them advice on the project. And he's not respected, he's

433
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,640
not given hours. And the guy who's running the place

434
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:55,200
is a literal pothead. But he knows the owner's family

435
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,880
or not the owners, but the manager's family sk just

436
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,559
is behind the scenes going nuts. So when he reveals

437
00:26:05,599 --> 00:26:08,400
who he is, he didn't fire the pothead, but he said,

438
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,160
you don't get to smoke pot anymore, and come into

439
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,680
this store. You're taking some time off. You can come back,

440
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,880
but you're going to work in the back room. You're

441
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,359
not going to manage anything. This guy is going to

442
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,359
be the manager, and I want him to get a

443
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,519
trot at being the regional manager. See, there's something to

444
00:26:25,559 --> 00:26:28,359
be said about people who see the way things really work,

445
00:26:29,279 --> 00:26:33,480
and that means that you're on the ground with people

446
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:40,599
who really make things work. It takes humility to do that.

447
00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:48,039
Maybe President Trump really was touched with humility when he

448
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:54,119
almost died twice. Story number three. There's a great, big

449
00:26:55,079 --> 00:27:02,799
attempt to confuse people about Biblical masculinary It's an ongoing attempt,

450
00:27:04,519 --> 00:27:07,839
and there's a great big attempt to turn God into

451
00:27:08,319 --> 00:27:14,440
a toxically or a toxically masculine entity. And we played

452
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:19,240
clip after clip of fake pastors describing God as toxically

453
00:27:19,319 --> 00:27:23,759
masculine because he's angry all the time. He's not in

454
00:27:23,799 --> 00:27:31,160
touch with his feminine side. He invented women and females

455
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:38,319
and femininity, but he doesn't understand it and he's always angry. Well,

456
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:43,880
he's not because he's always been the Holy Spirit, the Lord, Jesus,

457
00:27:44,519 --> 00:27:49,119
and God the Father. He invented love. He in fact

458
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:54,640
defined love healthy forms of love. He in fact gives

459
00:27:54,759 --> 00:27:58,119
us the fruit of the spirit, So he's not this

460
00:27:58,279 --> 00:28:01,799
toxically masculine being or talks yeah, toxic of masculine being.

461
00:28:02,559 --> 00:28:05,720
But this is a very interesting tweet. In exchange, it

462
00:28:05,759 --> 00:28:10,519
comes out this is a guy named Rob Bernatsky. He's

463
00:28:10,559 --> 00:28:13,960
talking about one of the principal characters in the characters

464
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,039
but people in the Bible, Esau. And if you don't

465
00:28:16,039 --> 00:28:17,880
know the story, I'll share it with you. Esau is

466
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:22,119
a paragon of modern masculinity. Harry probably had a great beard, hunter,

467
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,920
very manly, not a mama's boy, a man's man. If

468
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,000
there ever was one quote, see to it. There be

469
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,920
no immoral or godless person like Esau. End quote. Maybe

470
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:38,599
those things aren't biblical manliness after all. Well they're also yeah, okay,

471
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,119
so your beard, you're Harry Arms. That doesn't make you

472
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,000
biblical masculine. But it also doesn't mean you're not Biblical

473
00:28:45,079 --> 00:28:48,200
masculine because you have these things. And Ali Beth Stuckley

474
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,000
is a great, great commentator on things like this. She

475
00:28:51,079 --> 00:28:55,279
writes back and says, good points. Is it, I guess

476
00:28:55,319 --> 00:28:59,559
if you're trying to address people's fascination with surface level masculinity, Okay,

477
00:28:59,599 --> 00:29:03,440
it is, But are really at that point where there's

478
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,319
a lot of Christians who think you're masculine or biblical

479
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,160
masculine because you have a beard or your harry. I

480
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,200
don't think that's the case. I don't think we've done

481
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:16,240
a good job of describing what biblical masculinity is. So

482
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,480
the story of Jacob and Esau real quick. Jacob and

483
00:29:18,599 --> 00:29:21,160
Esau were twin brothers born to Isaac and Rebecca, and

484
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,079
the Bible tells us they struggle together in Rebecca's womb,

485
00:29:24,119 --> 00:29:27,440
a foreshadowing of their troubled relationship. Esau was born first

486
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,160
and thereby became a legal heir to the family's birthright,

487
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,160
which included, among other things, being heir to the covenant

488
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,920
between God and Abraham. This birthright was a link of

489
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,279
dis scent through which promised Messiah was to come. In

490
00:29:40,319 --> 00:29:42,400
contrast with Eso, who was a skilled hunter in his

491
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,480
father's favorite, Jacob was a plane man, dwelling intense in

492
00:29:45,519 --> 00:29:48,279
his mother's favorite. The Hebrew word for plaine is the

493
00:29:48,319 --> 00:29:51,880
same word translated in other scriptures is perfect, upright, undefiled,

494
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,599
So the word plane refers to Jacob's character as a

495
00:29:54,599 --> 00:29:57,720
man of God. God records his highest praise and blessings

496
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,279
for Jacob. The Lord has chosen Jacob unto himself. Esac

497
00:30:01,319 --> 00:30:03,200
came from the field that he was faint, and he

498
00:30:03,279 --> 00:30:06,359
said to Jacob, feed me with the same red potter

499
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,400
stew for I am faint. Knowing the character's brother, Jacob replied,

500
00:30:10,759 --> 00:30:14,039
sell me this day thy birthright. Isa had no interest

501
00:30:14,079 --> 00:30:16,200
in spiritual things, so he agreed, saying, I'm at the

502
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,200
point to die, and what profit shall this birthright do

503
00:30:19,279 --> 00:30:21,440
to me? Esa could not have been at that point

504
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,640
to die while missing one meal, but how he revealed

505
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,680
how worthless he considered his birthright. When Isaac came close

506
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,160
to death, it became time to give Esau his blessing.

507
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,920
Isaac asked isa to go hunt for a special meal,

508
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,119
after which he would pass the blessing. Rebecca overheard and

509
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:40,119
helped Jacob disguise himself as Esa and bring back Isaac

510
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,240
the meal instead of his brother were hunting. Because Isaac

511
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,319
had poor sight, he was tricked into blessing Jacob. Esau

512
00:30:46,359 --> 00:30:48,680
was so enraged and Jacob had to run away to

513
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:53,359
save his life. Neither boy was particularly godly. It seems

514
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,480
to me I mean to deceive the father with the

515
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,880
help of the mother to sell your birthright for a

516
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,440
bit of pottage or porridge. Neither of them were particularly

517
00:31:05,519 --> 00:31:09,400
godlike or godly. So why is it in the Bible

518
00:31:11,279 --> 00:31:16,599
Because we're fallen, because we're broken, because all of us

519
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:24,359
can err hairy arms and beard, no beard, still hairy arms. See,

520
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,680
God has told us that it is not what goes

521
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,839
into the body that defiles us, but what comes out. Therefore,

522
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,599
it's not what's on the body that defiles us, but

523
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:41,839
what comes out. Godliness, masculine Christianity for men begins with

524
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:48,759
this sword sticking out of our mouths our tongues. This

525
00:31:48,839 --> 00:31:50,599
is one of the reasons it's difficult to do what

526
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,640
I do as a Christian, because man, would I like

527
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,200
to rip people apart rhetorically like I used to do,

528
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,759
I can't because I have to guard his tongue. It

529
00:32:01,799 --> 00:32:05,599
extends then into how we discipline and how we love.

530
00:32:06,319 --> 00:32:11,119
Lord Jesus disciplined. He did it rhetorically with his friends

531
00:32:11,119 --> 00:32:15,759
and disciples who became his friends. He gave them nicknames

532
00:32:16,119 --> 00:32:18,319
the Brothers of Thunder, because they wanted to strike people

533
00:32:18,359 --> 00:32:21,839
down for trying to belitter the Lord Jesus. He demonstrated

534
00:32:21,839 --> 00:32:26,240
that restraint on those very few occasions where he spoke

535
00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:32,200
really clearly, calling the Pharisees the sons of the devil. Effectively,

536
00:32:33,119 --> 00:32:35,119
he didn't go to them and say you do likewise,

537
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,640
he was reminding them he is God. He has this judgment,

538
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,960
and when it came time for him to face the

539
00:32:41,079 --> 00:32:46,200
ultimate accountability on her behalf, he did it with dignity.

540
00:32:46,279 --> 00:32:48,559
He in other words, lived up to the things he taught.

541
00:32:49,119 --> 00:32:51,799
He allowed himself to be taken captive and beaten and

542
00:32:51,839 --> 00:32:54,000
scourged and put up on a cross. He didn't have

543
00:32:54,079 --> 00:32:58,519
to allow it. People will turn the other corner on

544
00:32:58,599 --> 00:33:01,160
this and say, oh, okay, so Christians have to fold,

545
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:06,559
have to bend over. No. At the same time, the

546
00:33:06,599 --> 00:33:12,119
Lord Jesus demonstrated the fact that there is a line,

547
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,759
and that line you don't cross is where you're told

548
00:33:15,799 --> 00:33:18,200
to violate God's word. That's why we have the just

549
00:33:18,319 --> 00:33:23,759
war theory. Masculinity is complicated and simple. As close as

550
00:33:23,799 --> 00:33:28,720
we can be to Jesus is the path. The hard

551
00:33:28,759 --> 00:33:31,960
things are where you have to step in and be

552
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:36,400
kinetic or physical. How does that line work in defense

553
00:33:36,519 --> 00:33:39,680
of life of the least of these? And that brings

554
00:33:39,759 --> 00:33:43,839
us back to that whole conundrum of paying for abortions.

555
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,119
This country still does. Hopefully the President Trump will make

556
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,079
sure that's all all gone. Lord, thank you for this

557
00:33:51,119 --> 00:33:54,359
opportunity to speak again together. This is the Todd Hermannshaw.

558
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,599
Please go, be well, be strong, be kind, and please

559
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,240
make every efforts to walk in the light of Christist
