Speaker 1: So in NASA astronauts pro crimed Jesus and the Great Commandments.
Love the Lord, your guy with your tarur heartmind, soul
and strength. And the second is like it, love your
neighbor as yourself. And Reddit has gotten nuts. There is
a tattoo on the hand of what are the guys?
Who is strapping the astronauts in? And it looks demonic
And I cannot believe how many people I ran into
yesterday who don't believe any of this. They don't believe
that there's a spacecraft, they don't believe it's in orbit.
They don't believe we've ever been in the moon. And
it came up yesterday a twenty four year old guy
at the gym said to me, Hey, your podcast, you
de radio? What do you make of NASA? I said,
are you going to say we've never been in the moon,
because dude, we've never been in the Moon's This whole
thing is just sad, because did you see the devil hand?
And I have family members who believe this, and I'll
tell you I talked to some of my students last
night about this. Is there a bigger mystery than why
you young men are coming to gods to the media.
Why are they going to orthodox Christian churches? Large young men?
Why is this happening because the government has blown up
any and all credibility in any and all things. We'll
talk about that's plus Jaden Ivy's Christian faith is way
too much for an ESPN talker. Almost related, isn't it.
We'll talk about this all with the help of Bulwark
Capital Management, No Your riskpodcast dot com and God Almighty.
Speaker 2: But Todd Herman show is one percent disapproved by big pharma,
technocrarats and tyrans everywhere from the high mountains of Free America.
Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman.
Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made in These
are the times through which God has decided we shall live.
So I'm in the gym yesterday and just I can't
remember if I was. I was between pieces. This is
a new CrossFit thing. People talk about your workout segments.
Its pieces. I'm going to strength piece or a skill piece.
It's a new thing. So it's between pieces of my workout.
And I was talking to guy twenty three, twenty four
years old, super good shape, and he said, hey, your
podcast or radio host, what do you make of NASA,
And I said, oh, are you going to say we've
never been in the moon? And this is exactly said, dude,
we've never been in the moon? Said if you read
about Project fish Bowl and the fact that these missiles
could only go up so high and then they blanked out,
And it was fascinating because I've never heard anything of
This guy's just off the top of his head. We
had this discussion, and I have family members who don't
believe we've ever been in the Moon. And they look
at the footage and say, Todd, you honestly believe that
looks like we're in we're on the moon. You don't
see the strings being pulled, and you think we really
lost We lost all the gear, we forgot how to
do this, They lost their calculations and all that. So
I've been listening to this patiently and I firmly disagreed
a year ago. Now we've been to the moon. Why
would I say that now? Why would I say with
all confidence in the moon? I would say to my
friends who bring this up, you know I've sat in
that spacecraft. You know we were back on and there's
the Apollo part of the Apollo spacecraft in the Boeing
Flight Museum. I've got pictures of myself and my daughter
in that. We lived in Washington, d C. Went to
the Air and Space Museum and that's that's Boeing went
to the Science and History Museum, and they've got one
of the Apollo rockets there and the capsule actually and
got in that and hey, there's a moon rock and
how would you know? It's a moon rock? And young
men are going to God at the same time as
I'm hearing this from young men, because I heard it
last night at the youth group, someone brought up Artemis
two and boys laughed and said, do you actually believe that?
You actually believe that we're up in space with this capsule?
You guys actually believe this that we flew around them?
And this was a conversation. I wasn't even in. I'm
just observing this conversation. And eight out of the ten boys,
so I asked our boys, like, hey, what do you
make of all the NASA thing? And about eighty percent
of them didn't believe it. One kid who's a big
Fox newsviewer, he no, of course we're up there. They
wouldn't lie about that. So I'm looking at how the
government has just completely blown out any and all credibility,
and I see things like this. This is an image
of the Artemist two launch, and this is one of
the astronauts, and he's in his spacesuit, and there's a
guy who's looks like he's inserting a meal or something
in his arm, some kind of a emergency meal. And
if you look down at his hands, oh hey, look satan.
And there's people pointing out that looks like a satanic tattoo.
So now, again I don't use conspiracy theory because it's
a but collusion theorists will say, well, they always want
us to know what they're doing, so of course you're
going to have this guy's tattoo visible. Now, perhaps he's
gonna come along and say it's a bowl. I'm a
rodeo writer. No one's actually gotten to him to ask
about it. But I don't like the way it looks.
I don't like what looks like an upside down cross,
et cetera. On it looks demonic, but again looks your looks.
But as this stuff goes on, and young man are saying,
I don't believe we're in space they're turning to God, Almighty,
my Gosh, Praise God. If you were concerned about the
destruction of belief and institutions, don't be because God uses
the simple things to shame the wise. He uses the
weak things to shame the strong.
Speaker 3: So think of this.
Speaker 1: The kids that grew up being told it puts the
mask on its skin if it wants to live again.
Are the kids that going I don't believe a stinking thing.
The government says we're in space. I don't believe it.
And sometimes this is going to play to our disadvantage.
They're in our group of boys. About eighty percent of
them think the Iran war is one hundred percent for
oil and Israel that's it, not defensive, not protecting the country,
and a lot of them believe it's just for money.
And God's using the simple thing to shame the wise,
things to shame the strong. And when I say the wise,
of course, I mean the people who think they're wise.
So as belief in institution shrinks, people rush to the
one institution that never changes, and that's God Almighty. Our
job as adults, in my mind, particularly adult men, is
to take things like this and do an acknowledge bridge redirect,
so acknowledge. Yeah, you know what, I don't trust the
government at all, have less than zero. My expectations of
government performance are less than zero. So I can see
how you're that way. And isn't it wonderful that the
Bible has fantastic historosity? Isn't it great that it is
one of the greatest history books ever written. Isn't it
great that it's one of the greatest archaeological guides ever created,
if not the greatest archaeological guide ever created. Isn't it
fantastic that we have all these eyewitnesses who saw the
Lord Jesus in bodily walking around. Isn't it fantastic that
contemporarious authors wrote that the believers in Jesus, that people
who followed what they called the Way, they truly believe
that Jesus wrote from the dead. Isn't it fantastic that
we've got this historosity. Isn't it wonderful that every time
we dig in to questions about the Bible from our
archaeological perspective, we find more proof for it. Isn't it fantastic?
And this really resonates with young men now, for those
of you who believe that we have a spaceship floating
around and it did our orbit slingshot to the moon
use the gravitational pull of the Moon to slingshot back
to us, Otherwise it wouldn't have enough fuel. Then there's
something that one of the astronauts said. In fact, I
know there's audio or a video of this somewhere, but
he said some things that has driven Reddit groups insane,
and I want to compare that to how people been
driven insane by Jaden Ivy's Christian faith, including this talker
with ESPN. And people are saying that that Jaden Ivy
has mental problems. Maybe he does. Maybe also he'd been
demonically oppressed and it's coming out of that. So we'll
look at all these things. My friends Mark, and am
not going to give Mark's last name. I probably shouldn't
given his first name, dear friend of ours and leads
her life group. He's headed down to Mexico next week.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: Mark has a lot more tolerance for travel delays than
I do. I don't have tolerance, and I know this
about myself, and I know it'd be nut. I know
if there was a DHS event and I was in
in line for four hours. I know I would be
trying the Holy spirits would be inside me, fighting my flesh.
I know this about myself. He's going down to get
the use of his hands back, and I gotta tell you,
I'm now getting a thing where my right hand locks
up a little bit. Oh here it comes arthritis. It's
in my family. I know exactly what I'm gonna do.
When the travel stuff clears up, I'm gonna be going
down to Mexico to follow this time in marx footsteps.
He's going to get the use of his handback through
the stem cell treatments there. He's also pursuing the anti
aging protocol. Now, this protocol is intense. It starts with
you mailing them in a kit in which they look
at your epigenetic aging. And when they get that kit,
then they have an informed approach to what they do.
When you're down there for a week, you are going
to get five hyperbaric chamber treatments. So am I. You're
greed to get a series of ivs, but yoursual be
different than mine because we don't have the same bodies.
And of course the stem cell treatments you also leave
with the kit. You take home, and you have the
three to five things you need to focus on in
your health to reverse the aging process or to forestall
the thing that's going to take you out. So join
me in this. Go learn about the anti aging procol
at renew r E. And you e dult Healthcare. That's
renew r E and you e dut Healthcare. And I
guarantee you when I go down, I'm gonna be talking
about my hands and this this emerging arthritis renew our
E and you E Dult Healthcare. Please tell them you're
part of the Todd Hermershell family. So there was this
flyby the moon and one of the astronauts came out
and Alex just picked us up because Alex is just good.
Go ahead, and thank you to.
Speaker 4: All of you for allowing us the immense troutlets to
be on this journey together. Quite amazing. And as we
uh go on this journey thinking about the nasubmission to
explore the unknown and air and space, to innovate humanity
and to inspire the world through discovery. And as you've
gone along on this journey with us, mouthfully, we're doing
just those things. And as we get close to the
nearest point, to the moon and farthest point from Earth.
As we continue to unlock the mysteries of the cosmos,
I would like to remind you of one of the
most important mysteries there on earth, and that's love. Christ
said in response to what was the greatest command, that
it was to love God with all that you are.
And he, also, being a great teacher, said the can
he's equal to it, and that is to love your
neighbor as yourself. And so as we prepare to go
out of radio communication, we're still fulfil your love from
Earth and to all of you down there on Earth
and around Earth, we love you from the moon.
Speaker 1: So it's a beautiful thing. And if you leave, they're
up there, it's even more beautiful. And I tend to
believe they're up there. I tend to believe we've got
this capability. And I'll tell you why I believe that
is I've been in airplanes where we've had to fly
super high, and you can confirm this with your own devices.
We were at I think thirty seven thousand feet once
and it's just and the pilot said, hey, this is
about as high as we fly, and we have to
do this because of this weather system. We were coming
in from New York headed back to Seattle, and the
pilot said, Number one, we're going to be crossing over
into Canadian airspace to avoid the storm. Number two, we're
going to be flying super high. And the good news
is you're gonna be able to see the Aurora borealis.
And truly it was magnificent. God is just his beauty
in the northern lights, and that was a remarkable thing.
And people were taking pictures from their phones and I
didn't bother because I just knew that you can't give
it justice. And he said, look, the air is then
up here. We're going to make up time. Even though
we're crossing over to Canadian airspace. We're gonna make up
time because of the height of the flight. So I
happen to believe we've got the technology to be able
to go up into space. But then again there are
people who don't. But that comment drove atheists, read it,
read it nuts. And this is so fascinating because again,
glory be to God. This is so good because God
is taught, He has the parsing going on. You know,
Jesus Christ is a divisive figure, not because he intends
to be divisive, but because He is the truth, and
there are painful aspects to this I've been sharing with you.
I've lost a lifelong friendship probably probably, And I'm gonna
make one last attempt to come back and address this
letter I got and say, you know, I'd be super
hurt by this if it was written about me, but
I don't. It's this doesn't have any relation to how
I view things. So sometimes as these very painful things.
But God is revealing the division, He is revealing the sifting,
and we are seeing the Bible's words come true. There
will be a parting of the ways brother and sister
will stand adverse to one another, that son will stand
against father, and I hate it. And the Bible warned
us about times such as these, and it's an indicator
that once again the Bible is right about everything. It
doesn't mean we need to like it or enjoy it,
but we need to give God glory for warning us
and again his word coming to bear. So this comes
out of Reddit. Thank you to Alex for finding this
this morning. Artemis two fly by Religiousness. Right before a
loss of signal, the pilot started rambling about Jesus with
the commenter from the ground among two commenters who were
wearing prominent crosses on their necks, going along with a
pilot and praising Jesus. This felt quite disgusting, like they
can't they keep their religion to themselves during such a
big moment, disgusted by it? Why would an atheist be
disgusted by something that doesn't exist? Why don't they just laugh? Oh,
look at the poor simpletons, the poor mental weaklings. Why
don't they just laugh? This is instructive. Last night, one
of our boys asked a remarkable question. We were talking
about resolving conflict and we'd gone through what forgiveness means.
My partner John asked a really good question. He said,
define what it means to forgive somebody? What does that mean?
And some of the boys said to say sorry. We said, well, no,
that would be you apologize saying asking for forgiveness. What
does it mean to forgive? And the guy said, well,
you just tell someone you forgive them, right, But what
does that word mean? And finally we agreed that to
truly forgive means to look at a person as if
the offense never happened. Now, we as human beings can't
always forget and most of us can't. God can forget
what we did, literally wipe it from his mind. But
one of the boys said this, how do you know
when you may have wronged somebody? How do you actually
know that? And so we had this discussion, Well, if
you are feeling this way, you probably did. And John
was asking, hey, are you feeling a sense of guilt
or do you feel convicted? And so we talked about
this feeling convicted and what the student said was, you
know what I just now that I'm talking about this,
I'm realizing, Yeah, I wronged a couple people, and I
feel sick. Why do I feel sick? And this young
man is pursuing the Lord in a serious way. We said,
it's the Holy Spirit. That's the Holy Spirit convicting you.
They said, I have to apologize, don't I? Well you can,
you should. Is this person a sister of brother? Goes, yeah,
they're both Christian girls. Okay, well then they're sisters, and yes,
you have to apologize because the Bible tells us if
you are about to take you're taking your sacrifice, your temple, sacrifice,
your money, or what have you. That God said to us, hey,
before you do that form of worship with me, Stop
and go address if you've wronged someone, Go address that.
I don't want yourself sacrifice. And we were taking it
from an evangelical perspective where we have our hands up
and singing and offering praise or taking communion. Don't do
any of that with If there's something that you have
a brother has against you, our sister has against you,
go clean that up before you offer that form of praise.
So God could be saying, hey, I don't want you
singing to me till you deal with this. That's a
pretty big thing saying God saying, hey, don't worship me
that way. I'm not interested.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: La la la, la la la. I'm not hearing you.
Go fix this. And so this is a sixteen year
old kid saying, why do I feel sick? It's because
of the Holy Spirit. So why does the reditor feel sick?
This felt quite disgusting. No, you felt disgusted. It didn't
feel disgusting. You felt disgusted. Why it's not the Holy Spirit. Oh,
it's a spirit. It's not the Holy Spirit. If you
find yourself disgusted by the word of God, that should
tell you something very very important. About your state of
spiritual health and this from Go Go Stevie. I'm irrationally
angry about this and glad others are too. Or maybe
I'm rationally angry, you know because Math when at Los
Communication Chick was like, how great thou art? I wanted
to throw the remote at the TV. Yeah, yeah, Apollo
eight re Genesis. That was the first time there, and
Christmas Eve and less evangelical. They got sued and should
know better. Forty eight years later, f this American Taliban,
Jesus didn't get you to the moon fing Math did.
That's why I've started rooting for China. So yeah, Math
was sitting around and built a rocket. And see, math
is what math is verbs, Math is steel and the
hands of working people. Right, that's what math is. Math
is also words, and math is images, and no, math
is an explanation for the dynamics. We observe that God
gave us the ability to rationally analyze using numbers that
explain his universe. But the universe is not numbers. Quantum
physics is an explanation for things that going on, is
not the cause of things that are going on. And
if you like to talk math, sure, let's talk math
and the impossibility of any portion of the life sustaining
earth we're on having been arisen by chance, utterly laughably
impossible mathematically from any perspective of odds, laughably so.
Speaker 3: But do you see this.
Speaker 1: I'm irrationally angry about this, and glad others are. Maybe
I'm rationally angry, you know, because math. So how does
satan fancy himself? He fancies himself a being of reason?
This is what Satanists do. We are the ones who
worship science and reason. And we go back to that tattoo.
So are we in space? I don't know. Did God
create everything?
Speaker 3: Yes? He did? I know that.
Speaker 1: So from this we see young people then choosing a side.
The young people who self select now at this point
because they're old enough to say no, or they could
just skip youth group. They've self selected into a group
where we talk about things like forgiven and he who
grants mercy will receive it, and in being relationally helpful
in fighting for relationships and reconciling, because reconciliation is very,
very important to Jesus, because he undertook the greatest act
of our conciliation that ever happened in human history. Or
ever will happen by becoming sin to save those who sin,
He who is perfect became sin, greatest act of reconciliation ever.
So people see this, they see the loss of trusted institutions,
young men going to God, but other young men turning
against that as just yet another institution. Us Christian men
need to use these opportunities to welcome young men into
the fold, to say, isn't it good that we can
rely on God? Isn't that perfect?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 1: Of course, we those of us who are older, we
don't rely on ourselves, but we do rely on being
good shepherds of what God's given us. And coming up
on April twenty six at three thirty Pacific, my friend
Zach Abraham is putting on a free live webinar to
talk largely about AI's effect on the economy last year
and all of the volatility it caused. And that was
prior to the war. It was prior to President Trump
threatening and I quote, to destroy an entire civilations, civilization.
God forbid you do that, mister Trump, that you destroy
an entire civilization never to rise again. God forbid you
do that. Go take out your tactical targets in your
strategic targets, but you don't threaten to destroy a civilization.
God cannot bless that. And that was before all this.
So Zach is putting out a free live bibin art
to talk about the war, the oil prices in AI.
And speaking of AI, I just watched the most remarkable
thing Sam Altman, the corrupt founder of open ai, which
runs chat gpt and he pretends it's a nonprofit the
open air part. He was shown a video of a
guy asking chat gpt to time his mile run and
the chat GPT said okay, go and he took like
four steps. Okay, I'm back. How'd I do?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 1: How'd you feel about that run?
Speaker 5: Wait?
Speaker 4: Wait?
Speaker 3: Wait?
Speaker 1: What was the time? And the AI sits there. You
clocked in at about ten minutes and twenty seconds. He said,
what I could have sworn its faster, and the AI said, uh, well,
often seems faster when you're running in real time. It
can't even start a stop watch. It was if you'd
actually run it, it would have been the fastest mile
in human history at about six seconds. And Sam Altman said,
oh yeah, that's a known issue. It doesn't have the
ability to start a stop watch. It does have the
ability to say I'm sorry, I don't have the ability
to time your run. It lied to the guy's face.
And this AI is being inserted into surgeries, is taking
over paralegal jobs. Man, people better be careful. So Zach
is putting on his free lab webinars to talk about
how AI is likely to affect your retirement if you're five, ten,
fifteen years out. This is a must a ten. It's free.

So Ryan Clark is an ESPN media guy talking ahead
former athletes, big time athletes. At one point, Ryan Clark
and John Root posted this and he has this response clip.
So here's what happens is you have you have this
Jordan Ivy go out and make these statements about christ
He was waived by the Chicago Bulls because they said
he was a detriment to the to the team and
disruptive to the team, pardon me, disruptive to the team
because he talks about Jesus a lot. Now they didn't
say that part, but disruptive and people right into this,
and Jordan Ivy claims it's because of him talking about Jesus.
And if you've seen Jordan Ivy when he had been
dismissed from the Detroit Pistons, he showed up at a
game wearing a Jesus hat. So this has been a
phenomenon for a little while, and his teammates came, welcomed
them warmly, et cetera. So he's made state about Jesus.
He posted some tweets simply quoting the Bible, and he
stated he didn't want to be involved in Pride day, week, month,
decade century because it promotes unrighteous acts like adultery, which
is sex outside of marriage largely focused on opposite sex
attracted people, fornication sex outside of marriage opposite or same
sex attracted, and then homosexual acts, which are both adultery
if you're married, and fornication because in the Bible's eyes,
there's no marriage between the same sexes. He simply said,
this promotes unrighteous acts. I can't wear the Pride logo
or be involved in the Pride day, week month, decade
century thing. And so he's hateful, and this guy apparently
fancies himself a Christian. Ryan Clark responding John Roots in
this video.
Speaker 6: Now, let's talk about the Christianity piece of it, because
so many times we use Christianity, and we see that
more and more in today's societ We use Christianity to
veil the hate and the evil that we want to
spew because people feel like, if I say it comes
from God, if I can point to where it is
in the Bible, now on bulletproof right, where in Matthew
twenty two thirty seven through thirty nine it talks about
gold rule.
Speaker 1: Right, it's love God.
Speaker 6: Right first, and then it's love your neighbor as you
would love yourself, like that's what we are told to do.
And so to go on a rant about religion, to
be questioning other people's religion, and then talk about the
NBA's involvement with the LGBTQ community, knowing, knowing that you're
also partner with the WNBA, knowing that this is something
that they support immensely, you're putting yourself in position to
be treated in this way, and for Jaden Ivy, I
think we have to look deeper into the mental health
of what's going on as well.
Speaker 1: So a lot of people are commenting in his mental health,
and maybe he has those challenges. But let's take this
in reverse order. So basically what Ryan Clark said there
is the WNBA is largely same sex attracted women that's
embedded in the comment knowing that they're partnering with a WNBA. Okay,
so maybe that's true, but let's piece this apart a
little bit more. He didn't quote the golden rule. The
golden rule is doing others as you would have them
doing to you. That's the golden rule. But he's quoting
the Great command And I forget from what portion of
mark this comes in the Bible. But Jesus was asked, rabbi,
what is the greatest commandment? And this was I think
maybe one of those efforts to trick Jesus. What is
the greatest commandment? And Jesus said, love the Lord your
guard with your entire heart, mind, soul, and strength. And
the second is like it, love your neighbor as yourself.
On these two commands, all the other commandments hang When
he says the second is like it. He is tying
them together. Love the lords your guard with your entire heart,
mind's soul and strength. And love your neighbor as yourself
tied together. Okay, so let's take this and apply it
to what Jordan Ivy's done, this terrible crimes committed. So
Jordan Ivy posted the word of God and he said,
I'm going to obey the word of God. This is
what God says about these activities. If you love yourself
and not in a narcissistic sense, but you have regard
for yourself, and there's something as simple as this. You're
on a cross country trip, okay, you're running out of gas.
Gas stations are sparse. This happened to me when I
was driving across the country from DC to Seattle. I
got into a place going through South Dakota and hadn't
seen a gas station in a long time. And I
started to get really concerned, like I've never driven this
far before without a gas station, and am I going
to see one? And I ended up stopping at this
insane gas station that was just this most depressing thing.
This family lived in the gas station and their little
baby was over in a playpen and they had their
living room right there in the front of the convenience store,
and just desperate poverty. And yes, they had a gas station.
I didn't couldn't tell if they owned it, if there
were just employees, and I'm guessing they were employees and
they just had Part of the deal was yeah, you
can live here, but you have to live in front
of everybody. And I stopped and I got gassed. So
imagine this that you love yourself enough that you want
to get home to your family. You don't want to
be trapped into the desert. Let's say I pulled into
that place and went up and said, hey, there's no
one leaded. Yeah, no, we don't have on lettered right now,
So you have to use diesel. So if I love myself,
do I go, okay, all right, and I go put
diesel fuel in an engine that doesn't burn diesel burns unleaded.
Speaker 3: Do I do that?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: Why? Well, because that engine doesn't take diesel, what's going
to happen? But it might start, But then the diesel
is so much less refined, there's such a higher oil
content in there. It's going to smoke at the very least,
and in all likelihoods the valves are going to get fouled,
and it's going to stop, and the whole engine's going
to be out of commission until someone takes it apart
and cleanse it. Probably, so then I'm stuck on the
side of the road. But hey, I lived my truth. Yeah,
I know it says right there in the Owner's Manual
unleaded fuel only. But I lived my truth. I took
the great lie. No, it's okay, it's it's just you know,
you be you. So if we're going to love people
like we love ourselves, love the Lord, our gard with
our and to our heart, mind, soul, and strength, remember
that Jesus said by this, I would know you love me.
You keep my commandments, Okay. Part of her commandments when
we make disciples is to teach people to obey all
Jesus commanded. Jesus didn't come to abolish the law, but
to fulfill it. The sexual moral code stand. In fact,
Jesus has made them difficult more difficult to follow by
recognizing sin begins in the mind. So, in fact, you
would hate your neighbor if you said, hey, no, it's
same sex at you know, same sex activity. That's cool.
That's fine. You would hate the WNBA if you said, hey, ladies,
you know what, you guys are the same sex attracted women.
You'd like to have sex with the women, and this
is your yay, it's good, it's fine. God's fine with that.
That's not love. So Ron Clark's super brave, right, super brave.
So there was an atrocious thing that apparently happened in
England and it was a violent gang rape of a
drunken British woman on a Brighton beach. And this came
out of there's a couple of European press outlets that
are talking about the guys who did this rape. And
there's been interviews with Muslim men where they've been talking
about rape, and there are Muslim men who say, hey,
look to us, rape is just sex. And apparently, according
to this press outlet, this is one of This is
some of the men getting ready to go out and
rape women. This comes from the Sun. So this is
the majournalism entity that said they've obtained the videos. These
guys are getting ready to go out and rape a
British woman on a beach in Brighton.
Speaker 3: And there's.
Speaker 4: Come on, come on, come on, come on.
Speaker 1: So good cookouts, good little prefunk, And this debate came
up on social media about no, no, no, there's people
said no, no, no, no, this has nothing to do
with Islam. Rape is forbidden in Islam because Mohammed forbids
sex outside of marriage, and an im mom, a reformed
im mom, said no, that's not right, you're wrong. He
wrote that also forbidden our married women, except female captives
in your possession. This is all us commandment to you,
lawful to you are all beyond these as long as
you seek them with your wealth in a legal marriage,
not in formication. Give those you have consummated marriage with
their due dowries. It is permissible to be mutually gracious
regarding the set dowry. Surely all Lah is all knowing
all wise, so you can't go out and have sex
with women to whom you're not married unless they are
captive to you. Now mindful that Ais can make mistakes.
Here's what Grok said. In classic Islamic laws, sexual relations
with female war captives ma malaqets ayamukum are explicitly permitted
by the Quran and Hadiths on captives. After Banu Musulik
companions asked Mohammad about the coitus interruptus with them. He affirmed,
without requiring consent, this was not damed rape or zenna.
It fell under legal owner lawful ownership rights, not unlawful
sex outside valid bounds. Mohammad took and distributed such captives
post battle per Aaron RMS, while mandating kind treatment that
is feeding and clothing itself. The framework distinguishes this from forbids.
Sex is forbidden forced sex with free women. Okay, so
apparently these women are free, but these men are looking
at this and say, no, we made them captive. We're
on a war, guys. Immigration and emigration are war steps
for Islam. I bring this up because Ryan Clark is
talking about the great evil and horrible hateful things that
Jaden Ivy said when he says, I can't go along
with pride month horrible evil? Will Ryan Clark be calling
this out? You already know the answer. Of course it's no.
Of course it's no. So some of the things that
Jordan Ivy actually said are finally now just coming to light,
as well as some support from fellow athletes. So we'll
get to that in just a second. We're back to supporting.
We've never stopped supporting. I want to be clear on this,
Alan Solps. We took a break because of the death
of John, who ran the company for his sons Alan
and Ian. Over the holiday, I had an opportunity, that
is a direction Hall Day Easter, to talk with Allan's widow, Tina.
Just feels weird to say widow. I still consider her
to be his wife. And they shared some amazing things
Tina did about the memorial service for John. They went
out on the water outside of Catalina Bay. John loved sailing,
absolutely loved it, and he had He got a permit
four and received an at sea burial. Praise God, he
got to do that. Well, he didn't, but his body
got to and they were followed out by dolphins who
swam right alongside the boat. Stayed there for the ceremony,
even as the fire departments out there spraying hoses and
then followed them back in. Tina had never seen that happen,
and none of the people on the boat had ever
seen that happen. She sent me the VideA of Themorrawl
memorial is like four hours long, and I'm gonna see
if we can isolate that piece for you could see this.
So we said to goodbye to John about five weeks ago,
and I said to Tina, hey, listen, the soap company,
Let's just take a break on this. You deal with
your morning. She wants to soap company to survive and
continue to thrive. So we're doing this because it's the
world's best soap. It's made in America by family with
three generations of soap making expertise. You're gonna use soap anyway.
It exists to employ Alan and Ian, two kids who
are not employable by the rest of the world, because
the rest of the would would turn their back on them.
In fact, they tried to abort Alan, who's thirteen. He's
been through eighteen operations. He's a brilliant kid. So he
can't speak, I mean largely nonverbal, but he advents soaps.
He works in packaging, and he works in quality control
and some delivery stuff. So go to Alansaps dot com
slash todd use promo code tod. You get tempercent off
all their products, including the special package. Who put together
the four og original Alan soaps in one kit with
a Sisele pouch for under twenty nine bucks. It's Alan
Soaps dot Com. Slash Todd use promo code Todd. I
went to Twitter and I did the Grock thing and
I asked them to post one of the most popular
videos about Jordan Ivy. This got eleven point six million views.
Colin Rugg, he's a mediate voice. He posted this and
it was about the waiver Ivy's raw Pride Month rant.
This is what he said originally.
Speaker 3: That the world can proclaim l G B t Q.
Right they have they have.
Speaker 5: They proclaim Pride Month, and the NBA they proclaim it.
They they show it to the world. They say, come, come,
come join us for Pride, for Pride Month, to celebrate unrighteousness.
They proclaim it. They proclaim it on the billboards, they
proclaim it in the streets unrighteousness. So how is it
that that one can't speak righteousness? How is it one
that how how how are they to say that, uh,
you man, this man is crazy.
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not the the j I used to be,
but the old JA as dead.
Speaker 5: A lot of Christ, you know, no matter what the
basketball setting is, you know I'm born again the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 3: And I've been saved by Jesus Christ. No matter what.
Speaker 5: How many d MPs I don't I don't get to
play or no matter how many points I score, those
things are a temporary thing.
Speaker 1: This is spot on the earth and everything here is
going to pass away. But not a single word in
the Letter of God will pass away or letter, not
a single dots or dash will pass away. Eleven point
six million views. That's hateful. He's a young dude, he's
probably never got to work again, he's no street preaching,
and if he's got mental issues, then there are people
in the Christian community who need to be around this
and welcoming in rather than just making him immediate figure
people got at look at. I hope that there are
older Christian men who are going to hear from a
basketball circle and saying, hey, man, Jaden, praise God, come
to church, Praise God. Come to a men's group, Praise God.
Come to an accountability group, Praise God. Let's get you
in a small life group with guys who are twice
your age, who've walked this. Because a lot of people
get through these conversion moments and then they're shocked when
they've still got trouble. One of the things we tell
boys post conversion, particularly after a summer camp conversion or
a post summer camp baptism is understand This isn't going
to solve any of your problems, your eternal problem, yes,
but no, it's not going to solve all your problems.
In fact, Satan's going to be on the attack. So
you know, Satan's all over Jade and Ivy right now.
This is a second thing that Jaden Ivy said. This
Scott's just about I think eight point six in views
John Root again posting this.
Speaker 3: God did not make a man.
Speaker 7: To be with a man. How God did not make
a girl to be with a girl. God made a
man for the purpose of procreation to have another child?
How else? How can a woman? How can a woman
bear a child with a woman?
Speaker 5: How?
Speaker 1: Ivy f of course we could do that. So there
are people who've written to me to say things like, Okay,
I have same sex attracted grandkids, and so you consider
my grandkid's moral failures. No, no, I consider your grandkids human.
I consider it's all broken by sin. And to consider
same sex attraction to be a particularly difficult thing to overcome.
Many people do overcome it.
Speaker 3: Some don't.
Speaker 1: Particularly difficult Because it's sometimes construed to be love. Sex
is not love. The Bible describes love very differently than
the world that want us to believe. And you can't
lie someone into loving them. You can't lie about their
eternal health and love them. This is a little bit
more from Jaden Ivy and he's talking here about family.
Jade and I bey discussing family.
Speaker 5: Those those who are who are around me, those are
my family members, betraying because of what I spoke, the truth,
saying that I'm losing my mind, saying that I'm crazy.
Speaker 3: These are my own family members, my blood.
Speaker 7: Man, he's psycho, he's this, He's that those are my
own household.
Speaker 3: That's that's why, that's why my wife and and she
not even texted me.
Speaker 1: If Jaden's having a breakdown, and that could be the case.
This can be a spiritual war and he's having the breakdown,
and it can be that he has the Holy Spirit
and Satan is furious and wants him back. And if
I hadn't been through what I'd been through in the
past year, I'll look at this and go, hey, if
your family's turning away from me, maybe there's a lot
going more going on. And maybe there is, but there
are people who are turning away from family because the
family is simply saying, I cannot affirm your grandkid's same
sex activity as biblical. I don't hate your grandkids, not
at all. I have a dear, dear friend whose kids
have all turned this way late in life. They've just
discovered that, Hey, I'm not really a girl, I'm a boy,
and late in life i'm same sex attracted. And my
friend is firm I love you, but I cannot love
the sin. And he's being cast now as the great
mean person who did this terrible thing of you know,
two hundred thousand dollars year and three hundred thousand dollars
a year for a year for these kids to go
to college and start businesses. And oh, he's a horrible man.
And there's church trauma and family trauma in a home
where they were loved endlessly and truthfully, and their dad
is telling the truth. No, this is not in the Bible. No,
it is not allowable by God. Yes, you're putting your
soul at risk. Are you going to Hell? I don't know.
Jesus loves you. This is another thing I heard in
another letter from someone saying, Hey, the problem you're having
with your family is this, You're saying to friends and family,
God can't love you if your same sex attracted. And
this was an email that came in and I said, no, no,
that's not true. I say it at every turn. God
does love you. That's why he speaks these truths. So
some of the Piston players have been unashamed of Jesus Christ.
Kid Cunningham is one of them. Darris Jenkins is another.
A lot of the Piston players are coming out now.
And Jade Neviy used to play for the Detroit Pistons.
What the heck is going on with you right now?
Speaker 2: It's a Sunday.
Speaker 8: It's the Lord's day, baby, It's the Lord that my
mama prayed for.
Speaker 1: Me today, she said, a great prayer.
Speaker 3: I believe in God and I trust my work that
Jesus is the way, the truth of life.
Speaker 5: The Kingdom of Heaven is near, and Jesus is coming back,
and we all have to repent for our sins and
we have to put our faith in Jesus. He will
come back when you least expected. It's time to wake up.
If you haven't put your faith in Jesus Christ. Argue
with my work from Jesus Christ, my Lord, and no
God blessed me with parents that raised me, and.
Speaker 1: And I hope all this stuff is sincere. I hope
it's sincere. I know about an NFL quarterback that I
thought was completely sincere in his faith in Christ Jesus,
and I was inspired by that. I used to talk
about that. I had the misfortune of talking to some
NFL players one day saying, well, like you and this
this quarterback, And they said, dude, dude, dude, no, what
are you talking about. No, that quarterback. No, that's all
put on. No it's not it is. It's all a
put on. No, you'll find out. You'll find out it's
all to put on. So I hope this stuff is
all since there. I have no reason to believe it's
not particularly g not because he's paying a cost. This
is Alex Orgie. I say that the right name, the
right way, talking about a season ending injury. He went
through UNLV quarterback and listened to his words. And remember
how we began the show with all sorts of young
people saying, we're not in space, Todd, you actually think
we've got a rocket in space. This is what young
people said to me, starting with the twenty four year
old guy in the gym yesterday, like, what do you
make of NASA? I said, are you going to say
we've never the b ment of the Moon? Because dude,
we've never been to the moon. They're lying, we're not
in space now. Didn't you see the tattoo? If you
read about Project fish Bowl or Operation fish Bowl, we're
not there. And then guys who are fifteen sixteen years
old saying, nah, it's not happening. I don't believe them.
And then Reddit's response to this astronaut praying and speaking Jesus.
Young men are turning away from institutions of the world
because the world has been shamed by the simple things.
God uses the simple things to shame the wise. God
uses the weak things to shame the strong. These young
men grew up in the era of it puts a
mask on its skin if it wants to live again,
and instead they're turning to God Almighty, Like this young
man has turned to God Almighty. Praise God for this statement.
Speaker 3: It's taken a lot of prayer, a lot of trust,
a lot of hard work.
Speaker 8: The first month after surgery was really difficult, just being
stuck in the corner of the couch with pain that
couldn't control. But I think looking at times like this,
days like today, like Good Friday, and knowing that Jesus
died on the cross for a reason, so any pain
that I endure is temporary, and I know that I
have an eternal home in Heaven, and know that anything
that I'm feeling on earth, any good, any bad, I
know that it's nothing compared to eternity. So I felt
like for me, it was really sticking to my Bible
and trusting God and knowing that whatever pain I was
going through in the moment, that I could prevail.
Speaker 1: Raise God. And every time a young man with a
footprint like that and impressions like that and the ability
to persuade like that says something like that he has
planted seeds. He may not harvest them, he may never
go out and actually convert people or love God to
do that through him, But the seeds he's planting, and
God's let the institutions plant the seeds of doubt and
now derision and now disbelief. And there's a whole crop
of young men saying, I don't believe a stinking word
the government says, And I say, praise God, because he's
using it for his glory. Isn't it funny just when
you think things are falling apart, there's that whole evangelical cliche.
Your life's not falling apart, it's falling together. Our lives
are not falling to parts. Our world is falling together.
And yeah, it's all temporary. So make a wise decision
for your eternity.
Speaker 3: If you've not.
Speaker 1: Accepted Jesus yet, do that today. This is the Todd
Hermer Show. Please go, be well, be strong, be kind,
and please make every effort to walk in the light
of Christ.
