Speaker 1: You may think you have a lot to say about
the war in Iran, But how about someone who for
seventeen years was part of a seventeen year war effort,
three separate deployments, and now seeing what's going on, we
can look at this as civilians. He looks at it
as a retired Navy seal. My friend Tim Krukshank, founder
and CEO Bonefrog Coffee joins us. With courtesy of God Almighty.
Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one hundred percent disapproved by
big pharma technocrats in Tyrann's everywhere from the high mountains
of Free American Here's the Emerald City EXI Todd Herman.
Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made, and these
are the times through which God has decided we shall live.
We look at the war one way, and retired and
ABC looks at in a way that I think matters
a lot more. Tim Kirkshank, good to have you back
on the show, founder and CEO Bone Frog Coffee, and
please to call you a friend.
Speaker 3: Hello, Hey, so great here, Todd.
Speaker 1: You have a lot to say about this, and you
have earned the privilege the right to say more than
we do on this. And I wanted to start with
something that was encouraging to me. I'm not someone who
constantly gives President Trump credit for a six layer chest
and being way out ahead, but you seem to be
pretty impressed with the overall strategy of what led up
to this Venezuela et cetera. Somebody's other moves. So let's
start there at this big strategic picture that you see.
Speaker 3: Yeah, first of all, I'm glad, you know you're giving
me this platform to talk about it. And you know,
when I saw that President Trump did this, I'm happy
because I think somebody finally had the intestinal fortitude to
do this. And when you look back over what he's done,
it all started with the Panama Canal. It has it's
multi layered, and we talked about this a little bit.
It's multi layered in the fact that he's trying to
take back the Western hemisphere. I think when people first
listened to him talking about the Panama Canal and the
Chinese control, they thought he was a little crazy. But
looking back on it, you know, he went down there,
we built the canal, we took back control, and he
went to Greenland taking over control of the northern hemisphere,
which was super important you know, militarily and tactically, then
taking out Maduro and China's control of Venezuela and in
that area, and now moving on to Iran and stopping
arguably one of the most important things that he could
have done for stopping not only the Chinese control and
Russian control of oil, but the largest funding of terrorism
in the world. It's huge, This is huge what's happening.
And I'm glad that I'm on here to be able
to kind of talk about some of this with you
and the Westerners.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, I appreciate that, Tim and China, I mean you
from a strategic perspective, in a war fighting perspective. Was
it just oil? Was it just that with China? Or
did the supply chains that they helped run through Venezuela,
the cartel supply chains? That has concerned me for a
very very long time because if they can traffic human
beings in and drugs, that looked a lot like a
military supply chain to me. So, but I don't know
a thing about the military. But did that concern you
as a strategic thinker and a retard seal?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Absolutely so. If you if you look at what's going
on in Central and South America with Trump's war on drugs.
We just saw that happen in Mexico. We've seen other
actions taken in you know, Central America. It's huge, that
is huge, and so China had a big hand in that.
And all that's coming to an end, not only with
you know, the rarer some minerals, the oil, the drugs,
all those kind of things come into play.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and nothing is to stabilized this country, I think
more than the rampant you know, use of street drugs
and then the presence of cartels and a lot of
the efforts here to employ a color revolution, which China
is also backing financially. So we could agree. I think
you and I that the Chinese Communist Party is a
major geopolitical enemy and we are though, are we now
in a proxy war with China and Russia in Iran?
Because I want to now move this focus over to
Iran and the way they prosecuted this war. Are we
in a proxy war with those two countries?
Speaker 3: I think strategically, what he's doing is hutting off their
their fuel supply, a fuel supply that they had coordinated
with I ran that you know, they were getting it
at reduced cost. That's causing some significant issues with them.
And there was some comments made by China over the
weekend when you know, President Trump had his ultimatum with
you know, the two day period with Iran. So it'll
be interesting to see what happens here over this next
five day period that he's kind of out there.
Speaker 1: So you didn't say whether or not we're in a
proxy war.
Speaker 3: I think I think we are. Okay, I think we
are in a way to we can and destabilize them
without firing a shot.
Speaker 1: Okay, So let's grade the performance. I mean, these are
your friends, these are your these guys you've you've you've
you know, bled with and and so you will look
at it in that sense emotionally, But in terms of
a guy who knows war fighting, how do you rate
the plan the boss is put in place, the generals,
et cetera. The President signed off on. I know how
I rate the performance of our troops. I am just
knocked out with what they're able to do. And so
let's start there. How do you rate this just in
terms of performance within Iran?
Speaker 3: I think it's just been a masterclass on everything he's
done militarily has been exceptional. Going after Iran is multi
layered and there's a lot of things that can go wrong,
and I think they've done a great job in doing it.
But there has to be a level of diplomacy associated
with what he's doing, and I think he's that's what
he's doing right now. The problem is is any diplomacy
that we have had with Iran has been sketchy at best,
because you can't really trust any at least I can't,
this is my opinion, trust anything that comes out of
that regime as honest, truthful. But there needs to be
some level of diplomacy and I think that's starting now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so I want to go through some of
the criticisms here and get your opinion in this. There
was a a criticism that the president and his team
did not plan for the straight upartmouth is that even?
I mean, hey, i'll just let you respond to that.
This is one of the big criticisms. I can't believe
they left this off the table. There was no planning
for this, They didn't know that this was going to
be a crucial point. How do you view that?
Speaker 3: I think that's incorrect, and I think that's probably the
first thing that they thought of, because that's at Iran's
major leverage point, right, you attack us and we're going
to shut down the straight. We just saw a couple
of days ago that they lifted sanctions on the Russians
for Russian oil and the set you know, authorized one
hundred and forty million barrels to be released. After that,
I think they had plans in place for that contingency.
They knew that this was going to happen. And one
thing that President Trump did is then turn to our
UN allies and ask for help. And we saw what happened,
and I think that was very telling, and he did
it on purpose. Whenever we see him do something like that,
he already has an idea of how they're going to respond.
And we get responses from you know, like Starmer in
the UK who says he isn't going to send ships
or he's not going to let us use their airstrips
in the UK. It's very telling what's going on. So
I think countries are now starting to say they're going
to send ships. And when when Starmer said that, he
was guy He's like, ah, we don't need him anyway,
So we got it. Never mind, like a comedian sometimes
it cracks me up.
Speaker 1: So yeah, And one of the other criticisms has been
these long range missiles that apparently Iran had that our
intelligence didn't think they had. And you made a point,
and I want folks who find themselves unconcerned about this
war to listen to what Tim says here that they
fired off a missile that went what four thousand kilometers,
that's twice as far as we thought they could go.
It went out in the middle of the ocean. One
was shot down. The other mist Iran has said, Nope,
we didn't do that. Israel did this. This is a
false flag. We don't have those capabilities. If we're to say, okay,
this was Iran and they do have those capabilities, you
pointed something else out in terms of geopolitical realities, and
it goes back to Venezuela.
Speaker 3: It does. And so last night on Fox News, lour
Ingram had an article and it showed one of the
officials from Iran claiming the their range was two thousand
kilometers and they were not preparing any of their ICBMs
to go more than two thousand kilometers. Then what do
they do. They fire two missiles at Diego Garcia four
thousand kilometers and they could reach that. So what the
American people need to understand is if it can reach there,
it can reach Italy, Greece, it can reach most of Europe.
And what President Trump was saying months ago, and everybody
called him a liar, and you know that he was
speaking this truth, was that they are creating ICBMs that
can reach the United States. And how they could possibly
do that is by moving them over to Venezuela and
they would be able to hit us. People in our
country need to wake up, and that's why I'm glad
I have a platform here to talk to people, because
when you see when you're over there fighting against this
regime and you see the level of hatred and evil
in their eyes, they're not coming here and they didn't
come here over the last four months to be our friends.
Some of them may have come here to assimilate and
be part of our country, and the Americans with the
majority of them, and you see it all over social
media and on the news, they're not coming here to assimilate.
They're coming here to take over. And they'll tell you
straight to your face you either convert to Islam and
Sharia law or it's their Koran tells them to kill
the infidel. I saw it when I was over there overseas.
That's coming here onto our shores and people need to
be aware of it.
Speaker 1: You saw it overseas, what did you see of the
convert or die?
Speaker 3: The majority of what we were fighting against in Iraq
and Afghanistan was Iranian intelligence and Iranian logistics and the
the people I was working with and the missions that
I was going on, we were capturing mostly Iranians. People
don't know that it was no different than the Chinese
influence on the Vietnam War through Cambodi and Laos. The
same thing was happening with Russian and Chinese influence through Iran,
with logistics and personnel being funneled into Iraq and Afghanistan.
I'll tell you one story, Todd the level of hatred
that they have for us. We were on a mission
to capture individuals that had captured a US marine and
in that capture they tortured him. They cut off his genitals,
put him in his mouth, drug him down the street,
and threw him in a ditch. That was a very
personal thing for the group that I was with to
go after and capture those people, and we did. But
that's the level of hatred that they have for us,
that they think that, you know, as Americans were sub human,
and you know, they need to capture and kill us
and mutilate us and torture us.
Speaker 1: Did they actually think we're subhuman?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: They do.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And you went shared with me that the worst actors
you saw. I mean, you met a range of people,
and you were forced to kill a range of people
and to try not to be killed, and praise God,
you weren't. But you shared with me that the worst
actors you met were Iranian operatives. But you just said
they were in Afghanistan and all these other countries. Was
Iran in the business of trying to keep that war,
trying to spread that war, trying to subjugate non Shia Muslims.
I mean, there's a range of things I said there.
Let's start with is that true the worst actors you
met were Iranian?
Speaker 3: Absolutely? Their influence on their satellite terrorism when you look
at the Huthis Hamas Hezbolah, it goes.
Speaker 1: On and on.
Speaker 3: They're not only paying and funding these satellite terrorist groups,
but moving them throughout the Middle East. I would say,
you know, the majority of the other countries, they're tired
of having that influence in that in that area. And
a lot of what we were seeing in Iraq was
that influence coming across the border. Funding, the logistics, the weapons,
and the terrorism. The bombings in that country came directly
from the that Iranian regime. And I want to make
it clear to people, it's not the Iranians, It's not
the Persian people. It was the Islamic terrorist group that
took them over in the seventies, that took over the
country and runs runs the country, the Ayatolas. That's who's
doing all this. The other part of this is President
Trump is freeing a country. I think it's eighty million
Persians people that live there, and they are joyous and
happy that he's doing this and removing that that terrorist
regime from that amazing country. The Iranian people are actually
incredible people.
Speaker 1: And so when you've encountered Persians who are non military,
non militant actors, you sound truly warm to them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I want to make that very clear that
this is not the Iranian people, it's their government.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm doing this. I possess a video one of
your colleagues gave me once he was in a different
branch of the service, but I possess a video of
he and his translator partner, who is Iraqi, came upon
a group of men who had been cutting the fingers
off of women who'd been voting. Remember they you put
your finger in your They had this weird idea of
vote once and prove who you are in Iraq. Really
interesting idea. We should look at that here, like, you know,
just control who votes. Been crazy, probably can't be done.
So you had a finger dying. And they ran into
this group of guys who had been cutting off the
fingers of women, and they kept the fingers. And my
friends found out through the translator that they were Iranian
because they slipped up and started talking about maps and
oh we were were this many clicks away And my
friend said, I'm sorry, what did you say? Clicks? And
they gave themselves away as Iranian military and bad thing
for them. This is the way my friend put it. Hey,
good news. I'm an American, so I have to follow
the rules, so there's nothing I can do to you.
But here's the bad news. One of those fingers belongs
to my translator's sister. So we're going to be taking
you Iranians and turning you over to the Iraqis, and
those Iraqis, Tim, and you probably can't guess what happens.
They were pleased to get those guys. Those guys were
not pleased to be in Iraqi custody. And we'll continue
to have this discussion with Tim Krookshank, founder and CEO
Bonfroug Coffee. This is all of this and what we're
talking about here Venezuela, where now Cuba President is talking
about Cuba, China's and Cuba. All of this means that
there's uncertainty in the markets. You add AI to this
and it gets really really volatile. Crazy thing. My friends
at Bulwark Capital Management love volatility because they tend to
have great performance during volatility because they actively manage every portfolio,
which can reduce your bad effects of risk and volatility.

my friend gave me this video, and I said, I'm
not going to do anything with this that I never have,
but I want you to do what you can. You're
you're a quiet man, and you're on this platform anxious
to speak out. I welcome that, But you shared something
with me that comes from Tim. The lion who protects
us slams your big fear. I'm not fear. Your big
concern is not necessarily over there in Iran, in that war,
but you seem really concerned about what can be coming here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so let's talk about this, and this is
where people need to kind of listen. Is my belief
and how I feel. Is there something in our country
called toxic empathy. We've seen this on the left where
they I don't know, God bless and they see the
best in people. The last four years under the Biden administration,
where they started letting in tens of millions of people
coming across their southern border without vetting them. They let
in a lot of a lot of people with really
bad intentions, and those people are here now. They did
it for the sole purpose of keeping or gaining control
through fraudulent elections, and we can get into that later.
But the problem is they let in people that want
to do us harm. The terrorist cells are here. They
are controlled by the Iranian regime. My belief is, and
we've seen this before, that there will be attacks in
this country, and right after the initial launches in mar
we've seen progressions of small terrorist attacks on airplanes or
mass murders or things like that. I think that's just
the beginning, and that is my concern. The people that
have this toxic empathy have it, I think solely because
they haven't experienced the other side. Of things right. For
all of us that were over there fighting in this war,
we have seen it firsthand. We've seen what they're capable
of doing and the level of evil that they have
and hatred for us. And I am concerned for this
country and what's coming next. So I think we need
to talk about that, and people need to wake up
with the number of mosques that are popping up in
this country. I think it was over twenty four mosques
popped up in the last two years just in the
Dallas Fort Worth area in Texas. It's crazy what's going
on right now.
Speaker 1: And if people have not seen this, there's a group
called Memory that monitors Middle Eastern media and they've actually
begun monitoring some of the and they're not spying, they're
just taking the sermons from these mosques. And it was
in the Dallas, Texas area that one of the imams
spoke about the progress of taking over America. And he
did refer to Jews as pigs, but Americans as cows.
And he referred to his desire to see America destroyed,
and he used the word destroyed and taken over by
the caliphate. And he used the word caliphate. And this
is in Dallas, Texas, and he's stating this, So what
do you do? I mean, you fought overseas as Seal
three deployments. Now it's bone Frog and we'll talk about
get an update on bone Frog coffee. It's interesting that
both you and I decided to wear hoodies today. I
don't normally wear a hoodie on the show, but there's
at least we look sharp together. What do you do
if you, let's say you're the unimpeachable king of what
would it be, Department of Homeland Security? Let's say President
Trump called you. You make it through the process, you're
now running DHS. What are your first three or four
steps that you would do to mitigate this?
Speaker 3: Okay, First of all, I'd like to say we need
to look at what the Muslims are doing. Right, So
you look at Europe and how they've slowly moved in
and taken over. England is almost gone. They've put themselves
in positions to be elected.
Speaker 1: The majority of mayors in England are Muslim.
Speaker 3: They're getting elected.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 3: We look at the Somalians that were moved into Minnesota,
seventy thousand of them. They elect ilan Omar, she's in Congress.
She's making decisions for that area that are then affecting
not only Minnesota, but money is being funneled to Somalia
to fund terrorist groups. The same thing is happening in
Michigan with Rashida Talib. There's stuff all over right now
that you know, there's people out there Christians protesting and
they're being assaulted. It's happening in New Jersey, Ohio, like
you go on and on. So back to your question. One,
more people need to stand up and speak out and
not be afraid. We as Conservatives, are typically people that
want to be left alone, mind her own business, to
go to work, enjoy time with our families. And the
Democrats tend to be ones to not work, protest, be obnoxious,
and they vote. We typically don't get out and vote.
This midterm is key. So to answer your question, if
I was in that position, I would encourage people to
stand up, be vocal, get people to vote or run
for office, and challenge these people that are positioning themselves
to be in office, to be in control of town
city states. We need to fight back. There was a
reason for a crusade before. We need to have something
similar either in both in Europe and here it doesn't
have to be violent, but it needs to be intentional,
and we need to get up and speak up, get
ourselves elected, and save our country and save Christianity. It's
at that point right now.
Speaker 1: So I want to get into the Christianity thing because
me that's where it all resides. But I also want
to mention some things some people who may not have
seen this. The left in this country has been vitriolic
about separation of church and state. You remember that's what
amendment is that again where it says there will be
a separation of church and say, oh, I'm sorry. That
was a letter from Thomas Jefferson where he talked about that.
So I am not. I don't believe you can be
a Christian nation and have a theocracy because Jesus never
forced people. So I'm not saying that. But watch Mondami
have now he every weekend in Central Park is leading
a Muslim prayer. His right is a citizen and no
women allowed, only Muslim. This is an elected official. He
brought in a Ramadan celebration into the governor's mansion and again,
no one cares about separation of church and state. In
the state of Utah. The governor and lieutenant governor had
local im moms come in and get to take over
the mansion for a religious celebration there in that mansion.
And this is you're talking about toxic camp. There is
a belief that people have that if we're super super
nice to people who are here, meaning us ill and
I do believe that the Iranian sleeper sales are here.
I do believe they intend to have a massive attack.
And I'd be really vigilant on Easter if I were
a big Christian church, super vigilant. So people need to
pay attention to this belief that this time we're going
to be super nice and this is going to work.
We're gonna put this on display. We've got police chiefs
in Minnesota who start their press conferences praising Allah and
they're not even Muslim. They're white bread born and raised
Minnesotans who've never converted, but they speak this into every
single press conference, Praise be to Allah. So you had
a great answer about a peaceful crusade, But if you
were in a position of control and government, would you
go shut these mosques down? Would you go find the
im moms who speak things you said? You want to
launch a revolution against America. You want to see you're
destroyed and taken down. You see us as cows that
should be slaughtered. We're going to have you leave. What
would you go that farest to shut these moss down
and have people tossed?
Speaker 3: When you look at toxic empathy and all these people
that want to accept them, and they're just misunderstood. They
don't understand the level of hatred that they have for us.
They're not here to assimilate one. In Texas, they're creating
epic city for Muslims only right. Yes, people are down
there trying to protest. The police are keeping them out.
They can't even protest. It needs to stop the State
of Texas needs to stop it. Any mosques that are
being erected need to be torn down. And Sharia law
should be banned in all fifty states. I don't think
they understand what they're doing by allowing this in our country.
Speaker 1: And be clear, Tim didn't say Islam needs to be banned.
You didn't say Islam needs to be banned. You said
Shria law, real law. Yeah. Yeah, so every bag of
bone frog coffee says a God country team. I knew
you to be a godly man, and so I want
to get into a conversation about Tim the Christian warrior
and husband and father and a man I know to
have actually huge empathy for people. I know this about you,
but not the toxic form, and I want to shift
the conversation into man of faith here because this is interesting.
I want to get done some updates on the coffee
company Tim Krukshank. Of course, my friends Bonefrog Coffee dot com,
Slash Todd, some other friends of mine I don't know
as well are there. This is a tough time, honestly,
let's just to be honest about what's going on at
Renew given the fact that you can't seem to get
through the airport under six hours and people are getting
stuck on airplanes for eight hours lo and behold, a
lot of people aren't going to Mexico right now. And
in fact, full disclosure, I've delayed my trip for the
anti aging pro call, which bums me because I cannot
wait to get this done, because I'm very, very jazz
to come back with a kit that I'm going to
do things at home to help reverse my aging arc.
This all starts with an epigenetic test to establish my
aging arc, so they know what it is. Am I
racing towards seventy? Am I crawling towards it? And how
can I reverse that. Some of the production of this
is going to be the three to five things that
are either likely to slow me down or eventually take
me out. The treatments down there, of course, involve the
world class stem cells that are so good that the
medical technocratic medical classes outlaw them in America. You can't
get these things here and time in the hyperberic chamber,
five visits, etc. Then special treatments for me. I come
back and I have a business card that says CEO
of my own health and the three to five things
I'm going to focus on the activities I'm going to
undertake here when I meet with a doctor, say my
hormone doc, Doc Jen. All of the things are distractions,
but this so if you want to be c of
your own health, take advantage of this trap, slow down
and get in their pipeline. That way, in a few months,
you and I can all go down together, come back
a CEO of our own individual health. It's a good
vacation together, hanging out together. We can all work this out.
But a renew you e dot Healthcare telling me part
of the Todd Hermannshaw family, and you e dot Healthcare,
and we'll go down together. We'll dike this come back
CEO of our own health. I want to believe there's
some mosques here with people who simply want to practice
their faith and being leftone. I've met some of them
this way. I've had people on my show who will
come on and say, I'm a Muslim, I hate what
our man is doing, I hate Shia Islam, I hate
Sharia law. I want nothing to do with it. So
you could revert these people as maybe progressive Muslims, although
that phrase has terrible connotations. Where there's a mosque that's
proven itself to be a terrorist location that's building this stuff,
I have no problem taking out. It's not a mosque,
it's a mask. So I have no problem on that.
And I would go through a massive deportation if you
came in on a gray area fighting age military man.
I want to know exactly why you're here, and I
want an investigation. I want it done quickly. If you're
not a refugee, you're gone. By the way, you've noticed this,
this is insane. You mentioned Europe. There are people who
went into Europe with refugee status who go vacation in Syria,
or they go home to they go home to Iran.
They literally go home, but the refugee is afraid. So
we need to be tracking this. Suff I agree with
you all on that. Here's what I want to have
a discussion of it with Christian brothers is how do
we remember to view these people as created in God's image?
And how do you score this as a Christian man?
Because you've had to do it in the toughest circumstances.
You've had to be a Christian man while being involved
in taking life. So how do you score those things?
Speaker 3: And you're absolutely right that we should look at everybody
and everything with a critical eye as Christians. But I
think we're we're walking through this right now with blinders on.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Of that phrase that I use toxic toxic empathy, and
we need to be a little bit more realistic about this.
And I would say, you know, an example of that
would be like the LGDPQ for Hamas, Right, that's more
along the lines what I'm talking about, because if they
went over there, they would throw them off a roof, right,
And people have gone over there and been murdered.
Speaker 1: They have found out.
Speaker 3: So they have found out. That's more along the lines
what I'm talking about. But I do agree with you
that we as Christian men, we need to look at
this through a different lens. That everybody has made and
go its image and.
Speaker 1: It's not it's tough. What do you think of the
tactics of some conservatives who have gone to Dearborn Michigan,
which is it's been taken above and Muslims. Dearborn Michigan
is a Muslim town, it is a Christian. Note goes on.
You were talking about the fact that people have taken scripts,
you know, taken scripture from the New Testament to hand out,
handing out the Book of Matthew, for instance, and they've
been arrested and they've had police officers come and say
you can't do that here. Meanwhile, we've got the Call
to Prayer being broadcast into people's homes four or five
times a day. You have parades of people, unlicensed praides
just going through the street with the call to prayer.
But you're handing out the Book of Matthew. Know, you
can't have that, obviously, that's insane. Obviously that should be stopped.
I say obviously because it's infringing in the rights of others.
What do you think of the tactic of some conservatives
who've shown up or they'll say they're conservative. I don't
know that they are, but they show up these events
and they bring Qurans wrapped in bacon.
Speaker 3: That's provocative. That's not who we're supposed to be as
human beings.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: The level of hypocrisy, though, this should be a country
tree of freedom for everyone, right, equal rights and freedom.
So if they're going to have the call to prayer
five times a day, we should be able to ring
church bells in our churches. If we're going to serve pork,
you know, to our kids in school, they can't just
take that away and have everything all all.
Speaker 1: Right, right.
Speaker 3: There needs to be equalities. So if they don't want
to eat that they don't have to. But for our
religion it should be equal that we can have certain
things and everybody, do you know what I mean? There's
a huge level of bocracy here, and they've got cities
where where the Christians really have no right and if
you look overseas, we allow all of it here, but
Christians overseas are murdered for their religion. Yeah, there is
no level of tolerance for Christians overseas.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and I've seen that in London. I've seen
it in you know, Ireland. We're watching this teacher who's
been in prison now Enoch Burke, two years because it
refuses to UH state that a boys or girl. They
recently imprisoned his mother and sister because they have refused
to stop talking about this publicly. So and that's in Ireland.
And that's not even on behalf of Islam, it's on
behalf of the uh, the globalists. I was talking to
a guy you know you've met through me, Michael Rourke,
retired Special Forces out of Fort lewis Well. I forget
is it the special Forces first Team? I forget that
you guys in your yeah, first group. I'm never gonna
I could never pull off stolen valor not that I'd
want to, because I could never keep up with all
your lingo. I can't do that. He has said to me. Look,
he agrees with you fully on on the bad actors
from Iran and those mill you know, the Shari, But
he also said, look, Todd, I've had I've had Muslims
take my six going into you know, kicking down doors.
I've been the door kicker, the guy behind me, he's
been a Muslim. Your colleague, Marcus Littrell, Navy seal, you
know Loan Survivor, he very famously brought to America the
patriarch of the family who saved his life, were told
in the Loan Survivor story. And he did that because
that town's tradition was you help a stranger, you take
responsibility for that stranger's life. And Marcus has pictures of
he and that man here and it's in the movie.
That was all very touching. Have you met good Muslims
who helped Americans and continue to practice Islam?
Speaker 3: Yeah? And you know when you yeah, when you talk
about stuff like that. Working in Iraq with the group
that we were working with, you know, they were very
anti Siddam in that whole regime and what was doing,
and we worked very closely with them in the Halfghans
and dealing with what they were with the Taliban and
al Qaeda. So yeah, I have met some very very
good Muslims.
Speaker 1: Did you trust him on the battlefield?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, good. Yeah. I want to ask one more about
a question. I want to get an update on the
coffee company, the street, the straight of her mouth. I
know very little about the Navy seal culture, a tiny
little bit enough to be a fool. I do know
that you guys are super good at getting wet and
being cold and going into water and breaking things and
killing people when need be. And I look at the
Strait of Hormuth, and if Iran continues to want to
try to control that and use that as leverage, I
got a sneak and suspicion that that might be something
that the Navy Seals could handle in a very good fashion.
Am I wrong?
Speaker 3: I would agree with you.
Speaker 2: M hm.
Speaker 1: So if I were a Navy Seal commander, I might
be thinking there might be an OP one.
Speaker 3: It's possible. We're seeing stuff over there that we haven't
seen in a long time. I mean, we're having submarines
take out ships. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So if you got put in charge and they said, hey, Tim,
how do we go secure the Straight? How many teams
would you need?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I wouldn't even want to speculate about that.
Of course, Oh.
Speaker 1: Man, I'm looking at your face. You do want to
speculate you want to sit down and put the plan together.
I think I get the feeling you might be itching
to say, Okay, I need six teams if we go
do to that. I don't know, Maybe I'm wrong. One
last thing Iran has said, if you come for any
more of our super important assets, we're going to send
a team down to the bottom of the ocean and
do what the houthies did, and we're going to cut
the trans Atlantic Internet cables, So no cyber banking, no
internet across the ocean, huge disruption in satellites and space,
et cetera. Can they carry that out?
Speaker 3: It seems a bit far fetched for the capabilities. I
don't want to say no emphatically, but I would say
that that's probably not within the capabilities.
Speaker 1: Could China or Russia absolutely? And could we oh yeah, absolutely, yeah,
easily easily give us the update. In the coffee company,
there's a bunch of new merch we have Irish. True.
By the way I purchased our normal order you brought
over for lunch from us, you didn't charge us for
the sixteen pounds of ours. True, it's actually two pounds
is delicious, So on behalf of my wife. Thank you,
it's her favorite blend of yours.
Speaker 3: That's my love for you.
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you very much and extended I know to
my wife give us an update on what's going on
at bone Frog.
Speaker 3: Well I appreciate that. So we are currently going through
a complete overhaul of the website. So if you guys
have been on there recently, you'll see all kinds of
new We got a new aesthetic and theme and that
kind of stuff. A little bit more dialed in on that,
but the biggest part of it and I really want
your experience on the website to be the best that
you've ever had. Everything that I'm doing for that is
for you guys to have a great experience. And so
we're really bringing in a lot of new technologies, connecting
all of our social media to the website, adding in
some AI stuff, customer service stuff. It's just super exciting.
I'm really really excited about it and looking forward to
hearing people's feedback and all that kind of stuff. So
we do have free shipping on subscriptions over eighty dollars. Now,
I want to make that very clear. It's on subscriptions
over eighty dollars, So I encourage people to take advantage
of that to help get free shipping. And you know,
for small business is that are doing e commerce, the
shipping costs are kind of the bane of our existence.
And I try to tell people we do not create
the shipping costs. That's all done by the big carriers, ups,
post office, second stuff. But what we can do is
reward our customers with free shipping for certain things and
so really encourage people to do that. We've brought in
all kinds of new merchandise, sweatshirts, t shirts, long slap shirts.
We had a whole big thing for Saint Patrick's Day.
We're bringing on stuff for the Sisterhood for Mother's Day
coming up. We have all kinds of stuff for merchandise,
and then all of our mugs and new Arctic travel
mugs coming out. You'll start seeing all that stuff coming
out on social media and emails and things like that.
But it's really great.
Speaker 1: I'm just sure what kind of weakling doesn't drink eighty
bucks of coffee in a week.
Speaker 3: Well, the thing is I think that people don't think
about it. They'd rather order one bag a week a
month than four bags once.
Speaker 1: Or I'm just joking about the fact that I have
a I have a big, big problem with coffee, and
you're the supply, and you personally, you personally benefit from
the fact that I'm often six hundred to seven hundred
milograms of caffeine into the day and I did right.
This is like that, this is one of three bone
fog coffe. I need to get a tumbler from you
because I've got mugs, but when I'm on the show,
they spill, so I have to use it. Toms, we
need a bone fock tumblr. Any last words you want
to give on this, because you you guys, you lost
friends over there. You were a medic, you tried to
save guys, You did save guys. You said something that
I kind of hoping you'd close off on. You had
a sense of relief that maybe maybe your guys, and
I say that because I'm talking about the teams and
by extension that all the folks servant over there, maybe
you guys finally have a chance to do something that
you said should have been done seventeen years ago, which
is when.
Speaker 3: I really wish one of our presidents back then, would
I had the intestinal fortitude to have done it in
the beginning. Yeah, take that regime out in the beginning,
and we'd be in a totally different place right now.
When you look at all the terrorist activities that were
sponsored by Iran over all those years, decades, all that
could have all that could have been stopped or nonexistent
if we had addressed the issue back there. And you
look at all the presidents and administrations that had talked
about the need to do it, yeah, but never did it,
and we finally didn't. And I was so overjoyed when
it happened. And it doesn't It doesn't mean that it's
going to be easy. It's going to be fraught with
all kinds of difficulty. But it's something that needed to
be addressed. It was the giant elephant room. It was
something that we had to do because the capabilities of
Iran were progressing and it had to stop. We had
to stop their their nuclear capabilities. We had to stop
their ability to shoot ICBMs at our country. I am
so glad this happened. I wish it would have happened earlier.
So God bless all of our troops that are on
their way right now, the five thousand Marines, the eighty
second Airborne and the ships. Everything everybody that's fighting over there.
God bless them and be safe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and may it end soon. I'm tired of being
lison wars. I've never fought any And I know Tim,
that your dad and a loving dad. And we see
the little babies who are you know, getting hurt and
bombed in this and I know you hate it. I
know you do.
Speaker 3: And I don't want any any of that, any of it.
I want the the eighty million Iranian people to be
free and to not have this regime anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I just don't want to see I hate
seeing the children with their arms blown off and stuff.
And I think we need to pray, you know, be
prayerful in this war. And I pray that President Trump
is getting his advice from from people not named Paula
White Frankly, who I consider to be a heretical, false Christian.
So Tim, thank you so much for coming on. God
bless you. And sometimes people get frustrated when I say this.
Thank you again for serving us and for being willing
to die for us. It's a big deal. And thank
you for all the partnership with the coffee company. It
has been fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you bet, Thanks for having me Todd.
Speaker 1: It was great, my pleasure. This is the Todd Hermanshell.
Please go, be well, be strong, be kind, and please
make every effort to walk in the light of Christ.
