00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,960

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,759
of August twenty twenty four. Thank you to aunsoaps dot

3
00:00:05,799 --> 00:00:08,439
com sas Todd and to God Almighty.

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one hundred percent disapproved by

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:19,839
big pharma, technocrarats and tyrants everywhere. Now from the high

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:26,879
mountains of Free America, here's the Emerald City exile Cod Herman.

7
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: Today is a day the Lord has made, and these

8
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,439
are the times suish. God is the satur we should live.

9
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,359
Welcome to the five minute Focus. If you ever doubt

10
00:00:44,039 --> 00:00:47,719
the fact that's God will lift up people who sacrifice

11
00:00:47,759 --> 00:00:51,119
for him if they listen and they find the way

12
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,600
with which God wants them to work together, then take

13
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,600
a look at my friend Katie Faust. Many years ago,

14
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,799
Katie started a blog called Ask the Biggest. It was

15
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,480
her first attempt at breaking into culture to talk about

16
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,159
issues related to family. Her mother, whom she dearly loves,

17
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,400
is same sex attracted and lives in a same sex

18
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,439
attracted partnership. They are good friends and they have a

19
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:16,640
great relationship, but people call her a bigot because she

20
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,920
defines marriage as between one man and one woman after

21
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,439
the Bible. She's not a bigot at all. She disagrees

22
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,840
with her mother and she's a loving person. Over time,

23
00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:31,599
her media career grew and grew and blossomed. With her

24
00:01:31,599 --> 00:01:34,000
friend Stacy Mannings, she wrote two books. She's now written

25
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,079
one or at least edited it, because she has used

26
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,000
her connections now in conservative media to bring some of

27
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,920
the biggest thinkers in conservative politics into her new book,

28
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,760
pro Child Politics. It looks even at things like national security.

29
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:53,680
I asked, Katie, who are the people who are actually

30
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,680
coming out and destroying parental rights?

31
00:01:56,959 --> 00:01:59,359
Speaker 3: Well, the problem is that all of this makes a

32
00:01:59,359 --> 00:02:01,799
lot of sense if you're living in the land of ideology.

33
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,879
If you never touch grass, as the kids say, then

34
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,680
sure all of this looks really, really good. I mean,

35
00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:11,360
you have entire sectors of academia there is saying that

36
00:02:11,439 --> 00:02:14,599
children need to be liberated. We needed children's liberation movement.

37
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,759
Speaker 1: But and Katie fully admits that a lot of this

38
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,800
is spiritual. But being clever as a serpent, why is

39
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,120
this a serpent? In gentle as a dove, Katie takes

40
00:02:24,159 --> 00:02:28,000
an approach to welcome people into talking about parental rights

41
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,759
and then beginning to introduce to it God's word.

42
00:02:31,199 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: Well, I think that it is to fervently argue on

43
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,319
their behalf in ways that are irrefutable and undeniable. That's

44
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:41,639
what I'm after, And unfortunately, I think that Christians did

45
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,919
not do the hard work of making their case in

46
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,599
a way that the world could understand, and instead fell

47
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,360
back on just quoting scripture. And I say just quoting

48
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,759
scripture because I love the.

49
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 4: Word of God.

50
00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 3: I mean like I'm in it. I try to read

51
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,560
the Bible with everyone that I'm with, But when it

52
00:02:56,599 --> 00:03:01,840
comes to communicating policy objectives, fortunately, that can serve to

53
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,360
discredit us in their mind rather than bring doing It's harder.

54
00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:11,560
It's harder to understand the historical, anthropological, social science, psychological

55
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:13,840
aspects of this and then bring to them a case

56
00:03:13,879 --> 00:03:16,879
that perfectly represents the Word of God, but doesn't a

57
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:19,800
way where they're not able to dismiss us because we

58
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:22,520
are only quoting an authority that they don't recognize.

59
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: I mentioned that her new book has a robust number

60
00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:29,840
of conservative authors. I asked her about national security as

61
00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:33,719
an issue of children's rights. That's Episode one thousand and

62
00:03:33,759 --> 00:03:37,240
seven hundred and eighty five the Clips three clips that

63
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,000
we focus on one issue. This may well become one show.

64
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:42,159
We're looking at that. I'm looking at all the feedback

65
00:03:42,199 --> 00:03:45,240
and getting from you guys. The left is very quick

66
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,919
to go out and try to play the meme game,

67
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,240
but they're not as good at as the right. This

68
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,840
is really really encouraging to me. It's an area in

69
00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:55,479
which the right is excelling and beating the left at

70
00:03:55,479 --> 00:03:58,000
the game of pop culture. You know that Jade Vance

71
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,479
did something I've been begging these guys today, show up

72
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:07,159
and extemporaneously extend an opportunity to debate. This time, he

73
00:04:07,199 --> 00:04:10,240
didn't do that right to Kamala Harris, but Jade Vance

74
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,680
went and shamed the media, parked his plane next to

75
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,279
Kamala Harris is playing and said, hey, since you guys

76
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,839
don't get audience with her, maybe you'll talk to me.

77
00:04:20,319 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 2: Had a little bit of fun.

78
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: I don't think the Vice president of waived that mean

79
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,879
as she drove away, But I'm glad to have done it,

80
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:26,720
and I'm glad to.

81
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 4: Be here in wiscont that actually trying to persuade people

82
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,560
to vote for US as opos of just giving another

83
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:31,319
scripted speech.

84
00:04:31,879 --> 00:04:33,759
Speaker 1: So what are some other things that they could do?

85
00:04:33,959 --> 00:04:36,720
Disruptive things like this. This was disruptive, it was smart.

86
00:04:36,959 --> 00:04:39,879
It helped bring up the base. There's something President Trump

87
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,439
should and could do, should and could or could and

88
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,600
should Which order is it going? I don't know that

89
00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:49,920
it matters. We'll talk about that, Tim Waltz. They're trying

90
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,839
so hard to bring the Obama juice around this creepy pervert.

91
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,680
Tim Waltz, tampon, Tim that stuck. You talk about memes

92
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:01,720
that is sticking to the man. He is a guy

93
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,759
who is spending a lot of energy trying to be

94
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,199
the insulter and at the same time the friendly uncle.

95
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,000
And then there's this.

96
00:05:08,519 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 4: Looks like somebody might have fainted up here if we

97
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:18,360
got some of the ems somebody, don't worry about Folks

98
00:05:18,439 --> 00:05:20,160
do this all the time in my meetings.

99
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,319
Speaker 1: I mean, that may have been someone fainting. Probably was.

100
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,240
There was a whole series of those that rush Limbaugh,

101
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,360
God rushed him used to run and what he showed

102
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,920
it was always the same speech. It was always the

103
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,600
same remark from Obama. It always happened at about the

104
00:05:37,639 --> 00:05:40,160
same time. Now, I'm not saying that people don't faint

105
00:05:40,199 --> 00:05:43,319
at speeches. I'm sure that happens. I know it does.

106
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:49,319
But this consistently, and for Tim Wolls, they're trying so

107
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,600
hard to bring the Obama juice on this. And yes,

108
00:05:51,639 --> 00:05:54,920
I'm going to remind you that in the churches, the

109
00:05:54,959 --> 00:06:00,319
black churches they're bringing up. Plus, the Washington Post wrote

110
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:02,560
an article saying that Camby Harris is going to be

111
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,839
pardon me, I've promised not to do that figurehead Kamala

112
00:06:05,879 --> 00:06:10,680
Harris is going to be a revolutionary president. Okay, that's

113
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,680
their right. Then they ran an ad promoting the story

114
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,959
on Twitter. Is that not an inkind donation? We'll talk

115
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,720
about that, plus the other things that arise over the weekend.

116
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:26,959
That is the five minute focus. Please do share it

117
00:06:26,959 --> 00:06:29,639
with friends, and much more importantly, please go with God's

118
00:06:29,639 --> 00:06:30,120
good grace.
