Speaker 1: Wouldn't you know it.
Speaker 2: The GOP loves the mark of the beast, and most
of them don't even know it. Julie Barrett's Conservative Ladies
of America joins us to talk about the coming surrender
to a digital ID. We'll talk about this with renewed
dot Healthcare and thanks to God Almighty, But.
Speaker 3: Todd Herman show is one hundred percent disapproved by big
pharma technocrats and tyrants everywhere from the high mountains of
Free America. Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman.
Speaker 2: Today is the day the Lord has made, and these
are the times.
Speaker 1: Through which God has decided we shall live.
Speaker 2: Julie Barrett's my friends who joins this Conservative Ladies of America.
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Julie. Good to see you.
Speaker 4: Hi, Todd, thanks for having me back. It's always fun
to join in. And it's been a while.
Speaker 2: It has been way way too long, and we're just
visiting my wife and you having interesting back channel conversations.
All about me, I actually know about the world events,
not with me at all.
Speaker 3: About you.
Speaker 4: Is just telling me how amazing you are.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, that's a good one. That's a good one.
Speaker 2: Appreciate that let's listen to a guy who knows a
thing or two about buying governments and forcing things through.
Speaker 1: This is Bill Gates.
Speaker 5: Well, we believe having the ability to save and transact
is something that should be universal, and a lot of
forms have adopted that goal. We won't be able to
do that with traditional systems. That is the cost of
bank branches and paperwork. It's just too high.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But fortunately, starting with countries like Kenya, uh and more
recently with a robust system in places like India, we
see that you can have digital financial inclusion.
Speaker 1: Inclusion.
Speaker 5: India is a great example. They did a lot of
their own technology which won't be possible for other countries.
And so the role of the Gates Foundation is an
advocate for those who don't have access today is to
make sure there's technology and standards like.
Speaker 2: A digital ID platform. Let's just cut to the chase.
A digital ID platform. It's inclusion. It's nice of him
to think of us.
Speaker 4: I like that digital inclusion. I hadn't heard that before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's a new one.
Speaker 2: Because you know, people didn't have access to the shots
or anything like that, and they don't have access to
the plastic meats and all that. So bill's looking up
for us. And I know there's a lot of people
who expected Republicans to jump up against this and oppose
this because President Trump said no central bank digital currency.
Speaker 1: Enter my watch. You've been looking into this, what have
you found?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, this really slipped under the radar, and it's
been going on for are actually over a year now.
There's a model policy called the App Store Accountability Act,
and it passed this year in Texas, Louisiana, and Utah.
All of those are red states, Republican majorities, especially Texas,
like Texas is the like we think of that as
the Republican stronghold, right, and these slipped really kind of
under the radar. Recently, though, I've been seeing some media attention,
a lot of op eds coming from some right leaning
organizations in groups about this App Store Accountability Act is
a is a tool for parents, and so I started
digging into it. There's a bill, there's legislation proposed in
Congress in both the House and the Senate. On the
Senate side as Senator Mike Lee and on the House
side it's a representative from Florida, Gus I forget his
last name, and John James, I believe it's from Michigan,
both Republicans, So obviously if it passes at a federal level,
it'll impact the entire country. This is not a tool
for parents. It is a government mandate that would require
parental permission for children to download any apps on their
smartphone or devices.
Speaker 2: Right, So that's that's being sold, and that's what's being
explained it and that's true. But the second I want
you to tell, as Paul Harvey would say, the rest
of the story, because there's a big, big, big iceberg
below the tip of that thing. And Julie, do that
a second. They're always going to make this it's for
our commedians. Or heard Bill Gates say digital banking inclusion,
digital currency inclusion. With that coming over the cliff at us,
staring us in the face, do you think it would
be time to get a second look at your retirement?
Speaker 1: Give my friend Zach Abram.
Speaker 2: A chance to look through your retirement plans and he'll
piece them apart and tell you what's your dreams?
Speaker 1: What are plans?
Speaker 2: Are you super exposed to let's say Bill Gates taking
over digital currency? What can that do to your retirement?

in the mix enough. They are obsessed with risk management

Trek twenty five. That'sh two nine eight. And Julie Barrett
is with us. So, Julie, Conservative Ladies of America, you
looked into this, this this this thing, this gift they're
giving us the App Store Accountability Act. Man, we're gonna
make sure the kids prove who they are. They need
parents of permission to download the apps. And Senator Mike Lea,
who's actually pretty good on liberty, he's behind this, apparently
sponsoring this. So what laid beneath the iceberg that leads
you to believe this is a digital ID push?
Speaker 4: So they have to verify the parent child relationship. And
the way they do this is by you and your
child are going to have to provide that identification.
Speaker 1: M h okay.
Speaker 2: So in order for my kid to be able to
download an app, I need to give the app stores
my ID and then they can verify that they had
this relationship. But what if my kid wants my wife
to do this, then she needs to do this, and
all of a sudden, we have a whole family identified.
Speaker 1: But it's just to the app stores.
Speaker 4: They would never share this with government, right, Well, so
you're giving it to the app developer.
Speaker 1: Oh that's good.
Speaker 4: A whole bunch of different app developers. How many app
developers todd are overseas?
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, any right? So probably most of them, right,
A whole bunch.
Speaker 4: So, and they're they can't per the legislation, they cannot
sell the data. Oh, but they're not prohibited from storing
it or sharing it or utilizing it data farming. So
they're getting this on your kids, they're getting this on you,
they're getting this on your wife. And this is all
to protect children, right. So let's say your child wants
to download Snapchat and you're really trying to protect your
child from you know these these chat bots and predators
that are in these social media apps. But you think, okay,
I gave her permission to download it, so then it's
going to be okay. Well, all you're giving is permission
to download, and what happens within the app nothing changes there.
There's no regulation there. So it's this all sense of
security that parents are protecting their kids by giving them
permission to download the app.
Speaker 2: Right, and they're building a database of who we are
and who they are. And they can't sell it, but
they can rent it. If they can't sell it, that
means changing possession. They can rent it. They can use
it any number of ways to identify who you are,
such as an ID cookie cookie or a device id
IP addresses if they're fixed ips.
Speaker 1: There's a whole bunch of ways they.
Speaker 2: Can use is to know now who you are. And
when you have this database built because people have done
this because of what kids have access to the stores,
all of a sudden you have let's say a third
of Americans into these databases. It makes it a lot
easier to push everybody else over the top because there's
multiple ways they're trying to do this, Like Apple will
not give up trying to get me to do biometrics.
That I was forced fundly to buy a new phone,
and it will not stop trying to get me to
take a picture of my face and use face ID.
Speaker 1: I can't make it go away.
Speaker 2: So what you are looking at is you see this
as a precursor move.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And in Utah, the Republicans in you know, Republicans
Utah are already proposing for expanding digital ID in their
twenty twenty six legislative sessions. So they've passed the app
store accountability that They've also passed some kind of digital
driver's license type of IDEP, and now they want to
expand that further in twenty twenty six. So this is
absolutely a gateway. Plus you're conditioning the children that when
they want something, when they want some kind of good,
they have to give up their identity, you know, they
and it's you know, we're we're talking biometrics, government issued ID,
social security numbers. Nothing, there's no guardrails on what forms
of identification you have to provide. And so where I
see this not only as a gateway, but as a
we're conditioning children that this is just the way that
life works.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and if you look at the way that they're
selling this, and this comes from some work Brian Lenny
did a substack.
Speaker 1: You sent this to me.
Speaker 2: The Digital Childhood Alliance claim the current system place is
an impossible burden on parents. So it's simply impossible as
parents to.
Speaker 1: Say, yeah, you can't have Snapchat.
Speaker 2: And by the way, if I were to do it
all again, I would have said to my young daughter, yeah,
the day you turn eighteen and purchase your own phone,
God bless you go have a phone and you pay
for your own data. I would have never, ever, ever
fallen for this stuff, and I feel bad that I
did that. But it is an impossible burden for parents
to say, you can't have Snapchat, and if I catch
it on your phone, the phone's gone, and we'll just
disable phones from having it.
Speaker 1: We'll just buy phones that don't put that on.
Speaker 2: So when they're going to pitch it that way, that
leads me to believe that it has nothing to do
with actually doing anything for parents, because you just said
nothing changes in the app. So this they said that
in regard to the growth of this stuff. It's not
just Bill Gates saying this. And I want to finish
the whole Bill Gates piece we started the beginning. I
want you to hear this whole thing. Christy Gnome is
coming at adults from another angle. I have a real idea.
I had touch you travel and I guide an Idaho.
So I felt relatively safe on this. But now they're
doing everything they can to make you, if you want
to travel, go into those biometrical and so let's go
through the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Bill Gates sit.
Speaker 5: Here, Julie, including open source work that we're providing through
the financial switch, which is called motion loop, and through
the digital Identity system, which is extremely valuable not just
for financial activities but for health and voting and education,
and that's called MOSIP.
Speaker 6: So since there isn't going to be a one size
fits all solution, what is the role that you see
the private sector playing and being able to collaborate with
different governments to ensure that we move forward.
Speaker 5: Well, once you have the digital money system, then there's
all sorts of services and applications that can be built
on top of that, whether it's helping with health or
education or agriculture, you know, giving people visibility into their
financial status, giving them advice, you know, should they take loan,
should they buy insurance? What makes sense?
Speaker 2: All of these things are available now. All of these
things are available. You can buy apps that do this
for you. Now, you can buy financial planning apps. You
can get them for free. All this is available. So
when you start stacking benefits on top of this, and
then you look at the pushdown and Julie, you brought
this to our attention. There's a reason that the app
stores Meta doesn't want to be responsible for verification. Apple
doesn't want to. Google doesn't want to. Why do you
think they don't want to be responsible for verification.
Speaker 4: Julie, Well, I mean then they have to put in
all the guardrails, right, I mean, yep, they that's the
responsibility on these big tech companies. You're you're adding a
whole other layer, right.
Speaker 2: And there's one other thing. They're now libel if there's
a hack. So they want to push this down on
a whole bunch of small developers, which means us as
parents or US as citizens, we don't.
Speaker 1: Know who hazard data.
Speaker 2: You're not going to track down every maker of every
app that's under this LLC or that LLC and then
has a corporation that owns it, and then passes the
data on, so this comes at the same time. So
we're of seeing this push to get people into the biometrics,
the safe fireless at airports, et cetera. So are we
just handwaving like conspiracy theorists all over this or does
this look very much.
Speaker 1: Like a bottleneck?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I one percent think it is. And we're not conspiracy theorists.
I mean, you you made the point yourself. You got
a real ID in Idaho. We had to get real
ID here in Florida. So this isn't This isn't conspiracy.
They are doing it. I know that DeSantis back in
the summer of twenty twenty four kind of put a
pause on some kind of digital ID that they were
doing with the Florida real IDs. But this is this
is happening, and I think you know, I mean, we
know that this is coming, We know this is going
to happen. But why are people who call themselves Republicans
or conservatives, why are they the ones ushering it in?
Speaker 2: Well, the people are going to usher it in are
the people who are going to get on the back
end benefits from tech companies, right, and tech companies can
buy a lot the real ID is one issue, and
this is one database. Eventually understand all this. This is
your health database. Obamacare took care of that, you like
it or not, your health information went into a federal
healthcare database.
Speaker 1: That was one big step.
Speaker 2: Other big steps now are having Facebook and the tech
companies have gobs of data on this that.
Speaker 1: The government already uses.
Speaker 2: They use this to find people after January sixth, they
use this to target ads. Have the Israeli government using
data like this to target ads at church goers. And
then we have Christy Nome in this ad helpfully reminding
everybody that you have to get ready to have a
real ID, which is a precursor. Now they're going to
be serious about this at airports and this is a
problem the federal government saw are caused and now they're
pretending to solve it.
Speaker 7: Hi, I'm Chris than you know home the United States
Secretary of Homeland Security. If you plan on traveling, we
need your help to prevent delays and to prove your identity.
Speaker 4: Get a real ID. Starting May seventh, you.
Speaker 7: Will need a real ID to travel by error or
to visit federal buildings in the United States. These IDs
keep our country safe because they help prevent fraud and
they enhance security. Please do your part to protect our country.
Speaker 4: Go today and don't delay. To learn more.
Speaker 7: Go to DHS dot gov slash real dash ID.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 2: I guess I'd love to see the instances where terrorists
have used IDs to come in and be super super
harmful to us. It doesn't seem to me that antief
is bothering that, or their drug cartels are bothering with that.
It doesn't seem to me that this is being used
in elections at all. So I guess I'm just looking
at this as another pressure point.
Speaker 1: Does that seem fair?
Speaker 4: Absolutely? And you know what it sounds like. It sounds
exactly like the pressure point that they used with COVID.
Get the vaccine. You want to be healthy, you want
to keep schools open, you want to see Grandma. You know,
you want to be able to do all these things,
so you have to get the vaccine. It sounds exactly
the same. Yeah, with the get your real ID so
you can be safe and you can keep America safe
and you can go where you want to go. Absolutely,
it's a pressure point. It's just a different flavor.
Speaker 1: Right, and it's the same players.
Speaker 2: See when Bill Gates is involved in this, and he's
looking at this is a platform, and he looked at
COVID as a platform, and he's looked at fake meat
as a platform, and he's looked at seequestering carbon carbon
dioxide in the ground to build proteins with and to
fund is, you know, to drive carbondoxide into his big.
Speaker 1: Greenhouses for his fake meat.
Speaker 2: It always comes with these kill shoots and then they
don't want to talk about this. This is from the
Brian Lenny article when Casey's Temantski, executive director of the
Digital Childhood a line. So are the ones who said,
that's just parents can't possibly tell kids not to have
an app on the phone. It's just insurmountable. Refuse to
name big tech backers in Louisiana. She refused to name
who are the companies who are giving money to the
Digital Childhood Alliance. Why would she not want to be
proudly saying, Oh, it's Meta in its Facebook, and it's Google,
and it's Apple, and it's defense contractors that should also
raise our curiosity about this. So what are you doing
at conservative ladies of Americans that help fight this?
Speaker 4: So it's what's interesting about the Digital Childhood Alliance. And
I've really tried to dig into who they are and
who's funding them, and there's really not a lot of
information available. They're a five oh one C four, so
you can't see who their donors are. But they came
online as an organization in January of twenty twenty five,
and they created this model policy, the App Store Accountability Act.
And so for your viewers, a model policy is, you know,
they create the legislation and then it basically gets you know,
copy pasted to all these states and at a federal level,
and they bring online an alliance, a coalition of advocacy groups.
You know, they've got like big groups like the Heritage Foundation,
Moms for Liberty, Family Policy Alliance, big groups that I
think a lot of citizens on the right trust that
are pushing this out there and writing op eds and
giving testimony for these bills. But there's like this this organization.
As you point out, we don't know who's backing them.
Is it big Tech? Although big tech is against this bill,
so who's backing it? I have not been able to
track who is behind this because the Texas bill, which
is Sentate Bill twenty four to twenty already has a
federal lawsuit by a tech organization that's representing you know, Apple,
Google for First Amendment claims, and it looks, based on
the original findings of the court, that they are going
to have standing for the constitutionality of this bill. And
you've got a Republican, the only Republican in Texas. His
name's represented Brian Harrison. He was the only one to
vote know and he excuse me, he has asked Governor
Abbott to call a special session to repeal this bill.
Speaker 2: Well, there's also, as you point out, there's people that
people listen, like Moms for Liberty, et cetera. I can
understand the desire to protect kids from online harm because
I happen to have a daughter who's no longer a kid,
and God's done amazing worker her life, and she's doing
very very well. She was harmed by stuff online, and
we lived with a generation of kids who've been harmed
by this. Then you have partnerships like this Senator's Kristen Cinema.
She's so called independent from Arizona. She is pretty independent.
Cynthia Lummis, Republican of Wyoming, have introduced the Senate Bill
eight eight four, known as the Improving Digital Identity Act
of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: This is a twin bill. Look at this. This came
about in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2: The bill was introduced our twenty first order to proceed
out of Committee March twenty nine, without amendments and with
a favorable recommendation. Here's what they were pitching back then.
The lack of an easy, affordable, reliable, and secure way
for organizations, businesses, and government agencies to identify whether in
individuals who they claim to be online creates an attack
vector that is widely exploited by adversaries in cyberspace and
precludes many high value transactions being available online. Incidents of
identity theft and identity fraud continued to rise in the United States,
where more than two hundred and ninety three million people
were impacted by data bridges in twenty twenty one. So
they're calling for a public privates partnership here based upon privacy, choice, equity, accessibility,
and innovation July because no one protects government data like government.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: Oh hold it wait, how many times has government been
hacked for information?
Speaker 1: So now it's about being more secure.
Speaker 2: So anytime you have organizations that have proven themselves to
be insecure hackable, coming along and saying this time.
Speaker 1: We mean it.
Speaker 2: We're going to be super secure and super hackable. That
raises the question. I have a theory as to why
big tech says they don't want this, and it has
to do with what they already have, and I'll explore
that with you in just a second. So, how can
people get in touch with Conservative Ladies for America rob
Conservative Ladies of America Sorry I said four, Oh sorry Conservative.
Speaker 4: They can reach us at Conservative Ladies of America dot com.
And we're also on substack Conservative Ladies of America dot
substack dot com.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to play a little bit more from
Bill Gates this second, and then this theory on why
the big tech companies don't want to be seen as
being for this. Look, there's a lot of data that
you gave your bank when you started your business. You
gave them your home address, you gave them your phone number,
you gave them your email address, you gave them your
social Security number. Oh, you also gave them your employee
identification number and your corporation name, business license and all that.
Did you know that if there's one tiny shred of
your personal information left in your business formation.
Speaker 1: You probably do not have the corporate veil? Did you
know that? So that if you got sued God.
Speaker 2: Forbids a lawyer could go after your four one K
or four or three B whatever you have, retirement plan,
home equity, your house and total.
Speaker 1: Did you know that?
Speaker 2: Your bank also may have given you corporate credit, so
you took out a business loan. Again, if a single
shred of personal information is maintained on your business formation
docs your bank, if God forbid the business did poorly,
your bank could go after your personal assense.
Speaker 1: They probably didn't tell you that, did they.
Speaker 2: So here's a way to find out if you have
actual corporate credit and or the corporate veil. Finding out
is free. It's go bisible dot com. That's with a Z,
go bisible dot com. And if you do not have it,
they'll offer to fix it for you in seven easy steps.
You pay for that part, but it is absolutely legible
considering the risk. Journder right now, it's go visible dot com.
A little bit more from Bill Gates here Julia Verrett's
Considered Ladies of America. Bill Gates praises India's public infrastructure
and I know, when I think of countries in equity
and fairness, I think of India.
Speaker 5: Every country struggling to find that boundary. The US is
a tough one because you know, we have the notion
of the First Amendment, and so what are the nose sentiins?
You know, like yelling fire in the theater, you know,
and because you're anonymous online, you know it can be worse.
I do think over time, you know, with things like
deep fakes. Most of the time you're online, you're gonna
want to be in an environment where the people are
truly identified, that as they're connected to a real world
identity that you trust, instead of just people saying whatever
they want. And so the idea of providence who sent
me this email, was that really them. You know, we're
gonna have to have systems and behaviors that we're more
aware of. Okay, who says that? Who created this?
Speaker 2: So now, why do you think big tech wants to
be against this bill because it's already being built, because
they already have a whole bunch of this data. So
having all these little app stores do this, Okay, Now,
it's all diffuse, it's not in one place they want
that they want the big one, and this is a
precursor in behavior in getting to that.
Speaker 1: Does that make sense as a theory?
Speaker 4: Oh, I think you're right. And you know, if you're
monetized on any of these platforms, you've already given them
your government ID. Oh, I know, to get payouts. So
a lot of people you know, an x X now
that it's monetized. You know, I think most people probably
on X at least the ones that we see in
our feed, are all all monetized. They've all already given
their ID. So you know, I think in that regard,
that's why you already have people are conditioned to give that.
But as far as to your point of why tech
companies are against this, think absolutely, they already have in
their own apps, their own platforms, they've already developed a system,
so they don't need to have this in the in
the app stores itself, right, and.
Speaker 2: They'd rather have it diffuse and have all the little
individual app companies have to take care of their verification
because that's going to cost them money. That scale, they
can do that scale, Facebook, Google, those guys.
Speaker 1: Can do this as scale.
Speaker 2: Secondly, they're behind this platform that Gates wants to build
because it's this all in one thing. Now, they're just
going to fight for who owns what sector.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: If the Gates Foundation is willing to go out and
spend the time to build the platform, that's just argument
who's going to have the apps? And in case everybody
thinks that this is just me handwaving or Julie handwaving,
I went and found can we agree that the World
Economic Forum is a pretty good place to look into
what they intended you to us in the future.
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 4: Absolutely so I.
Speaker 2: Went and found from the World Economic Form how they
describe digital ID and I'll share that with you to second, Julian,
we'll go through this together.
Speaker 1: We're living in a world.
Speaker 2: That is changing bit by bit, and I mean that
computer bit by computer bit, but also law by law
and regulation by regulation.
Speaker 1: Particularly worldwide.
Speaker 2: If you've seen worldwide the attacks on people being able
to speak the Word of God, just consider the attacks
on being able to carry it truly. In the EU
and Scotland, there are bills that have just about become
law that would make it a hate crime to have
a Bible. Because the Bible contains the Word of God.
Speaker 1: It is a hate crime. Inspired by these laws, etc.
Speaker 2: Angel Studios made a movie called Disciples in the Moonlight
and it tells the story of an America not too
far from now, where the government has.
Speaker 1: Decided that the Bible is hate speech.
Speaker 2: After all, God made man a woman, made us in
his image, male and female. After all, God has rules
about marriage and sexuality. These are hate speeches, etc. So
the Bible has been banned, but the government has helpfully
replaced it with a new Bible. And in the movie
Disciples in the Moonlight, you will see the new Bible.
In fact, they do a very clever job of having
it in a sermon, and if you're a new Christian
you wouldn't even notice the change. But being almost Jesus
isn't being Jesus. So twelve people decide to smuggle Bibles,
and none of them are perfect. In fact, one of
them is pretty bad guy aside from being disciple, very
bad parent, but he's the disciple of Jesus and he's
on that mission.
Speaker 1: So go check this movie out.
Speaker 2: It's Angel dot com slash Herman that will take you
directly to the film Angel dot Com slash Herman. And
when you join the Angel Guild, you're not just watching,
you are giving power to movies like this to help
change Hollywood, Brave Christian filmmaking, Angel dot com.
Speaker 1: Slash Herman, So Julie.
Speaker 2: This is a digital identity graphic that the people at
the World Economic Forum put together. So it starts right
at the top. The top item is healthcare. Look at
that for United for users to access insurance, treatment, et cetera,
to monitor their health devices, all their financials services. Oh,
look at that your money. Food, sustainability for farmers and
consumers to verify products, the providence of products, the purity
of products, travel and mobility, humanitarian responses, e commerce, social platforms,
e government, telecommunications on a personal basis, telecommunications on a
government basis. To monitor all of this powered by digital identity, people, things.
Speaker 1: Devices, entities.
Speaker 2: All of this tied into precursor steps like Christy Nome
pushing us to a real ID and then a real.
Speaker 1: ID that we have to use outside of travel to.
Speaker 2: Get into government buildings and then to open bank accounts.
And we already see Caro Starmer announcing in the UK
you will have a digital idea if you want to work.
So this doesn't seem to me to be handwaving, etcetera.
What's been the response. Since you've been talking about this,
you're often yelled at by conservatives for saying, why are
you coming after our side? You're conservative ladies of America,
Why are you coming out for Republicans?
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I got into all of this policy
stuff really because of what happened uh to our family
back in twenty twenty one, and and through my my
connect really you, I think you kind of inspired me
to like figure out where did these laws come from?
And so it's it's really a gift from God that
I have this sort of obsession or passion to dig
into the details of the legislation. And so when I
saw this and I saw I saw kind of two
different viewpoints, and so I pulled up the legislation and
I read through it myself and that and I sent
it to you pretty much right away because you're You're
kind of the only person that I can think of
that is actually willing to tell the truth. And I'm
so grateful that that God connected us and put you
in my life as sort of a mentor and friend
to kind of help guide me through this, because you
have actually, you know, really been a good source of
courage for me.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, praise God. And so I sent this to you
so because I knew I've this sounds up your alley,
and I know you're, you know, wanting to share the
truth with your your viewers and your listeners. And that
was when I sent it to you last week. That
was really kind of the first that I started to
get into it. And I saw these op eds going
out around the country, especially here in Florida, And after
seeing that this passed in Texas, I thought, I really
have to be vocal about what's going on here in Florida,
and I'm gonna have to write a rebuttal to some
of these op eds that have been written by people,
you know, Moms for Liberty or Heritage Foundation, and that
might ruffle some feathers. And you know, I had conversations
with my husband and should I name names in the article,
and he said, well, they're the ones writing these opinion pieces,
and so it doesn't seem wrong for you to cite
their work and why you oppose what they're saying. And
so I haven't gotten too much backlash just yet. I
will And you know, one of the things is todd
Conservative Ladies of America is a very small grassroots organization.
We're small, but mighty. I mean, God has been great
in using our voice. I'm essentially a volunteer and my
team are all volunteers, and I know that he will
he will spread the word as he wants it to be,
as he wants it.
Speaker 5: To be heard.
Speaker 4: But because of that, I don't have any donors to lose.
I have nothing to lose, and I am truly committed
to telling the truth. I believe that I am in
this space because God put me here, and God opens
the doors and he leads me to what he wants
me to see. And so you know, I'm I'm obligated
only to God. And so if you know, if if
these groups on the right say we aren't going to
work with Conservative Ladies of America because of your position
on such a bill, well, then sobeit. I'm really here
to alert other citizens and try to wake people up
so that the laws don't impact them in negative ways
as it has impacted you know, you and I both
our families have been directly impacted by big government.
Speaker 2: Big government, big pharma rights, big media, and so many
families have. And you know, I had a friend of
mine say to me the other day we're talking about
the business and growing audience in the podcast, and you know,
made this investment in YouTube and that's sort.
Speaker 1: Of paid off. But I think YouTube hates our guts.
Speaker 2: And one of the things he said was, you know,
I could see you as part of a network, you know,
like joining one of these big network sites with concerned hostis. Oh,
that's never going to happen. You know, look, I love you, brother,
that's never going to happen. I am full on ID
as the guy you don't bring into a network because
when the network says, hey, we're going to go ahead
and stay away from the election was stolen, I'm the
guy who says you might, but I'm not.
Speaker 1: Or you know what, we're going to go ahead and
play games.
Speaker 2: We're going to play big Pharmer's game on this, or
we're just going to listen to the public health officials. Okay,
three days, I'll keep my mouth shut. On the fourth day,
I'm going to come out and say this is a swindle.
And that's so I'm not going to be part of
a network. And in a way that's a disadvantage because
of scope and size and we're a small shop and etc.
That's where we rely on listeners from viewers for growth.
Only way the growth the show grows.
Speaker 1: It's for you guys. But but the same token.
Speaker 2: I don't have an executive director putting me on the
phone and saying, hey, listen, you can't do this in
the digital I D thing. You can talk about anything
you want, but not the digital ID thing. You cannot
question Israel's move in the West Bank or Gaza.
Speaker 1: You can choose not to talk about it, but you
cannot question it.
Speaker 2: And I'm here to tell you there are plenty of great,
big conservative networks, great big, huge ones, and I assure
you because I know their hosts are under orders. These
are things you don't talk about. So Julie, stay independent
and keep God as the boss. That's my advice as
your mentor keep God is the boss, all right? Appreciate
you coming on. There's a link to your work in
the show notes. Julie Barrett's hoantor to callim my friend
Conservative Ladies of America. I'm sure your wife or my
wife and I have a phone up call about how
great I am.
Speaker 4: Something we will for sure. Thank you so much for
your attention to this and thanks for your friendship and
appreciate the opportunity to be on your show.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's a great opportunity to have you here. This
is the Todd Herman Show.
Speaker 2: Please go, be well, be strong, be kind, and go
make every effort to walk in the light of Christ.
And I get to go see aforementioned beloved wife now
