Speaker 1: This is the five minute Focus from Monday, the twelfth
of August twenty twenty four. Thank you to aunsoaps dot
com sas Todd and to God Almighty.
Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one hundred percent disapproved by
big pharma, technocrarats and tyrants everywhere. Now from the high
mountains of Free America, here's the Emerald City exile Cod Herman.
Speaker 1: Today is a day the Lord has made, and these
are the times suish. God is the satur we should live.
Welcome to the five minute Focus. If you ever doubt
the fact that's God will lift up people who sacrifice
for him if they listen and they find the way
with which God wants them to work together, then take
a look at my friend Katie Faust. Many years ago,
Katie started a blog called Ask the Biggest. It was
her first attempt at breaking into culture to talk about
issues related to family. Her mother, whom she dearly loves,
is same sex attracted and lives in a same sex
attracted partnership. They are good friends and they have a
great relationship, but people call her a bigot because she
defines marriage as between one man and one woman after
the Bible. She's not a bigot at all. She disagrees
with her mother and she's a loving person. Over time,
her media career grew and grew and blossomed. With her
friend Stacy Mannings, she wrote two books. She's now written
one or at least edited it, because she has used
her connections now in conservative media to bring some of
the biggest thinkers in conservative politics into her new book,
pro Child Politics. It looks even at things like national security.
I asked, Katie, who are the people who are actually
coming out and destroying parental rights?
Speaker 3: Well, the problem is that all of this makes a
lot of sense if you're living in the land of ideology.
If you never touch grass, as the kids say, then
sure all of this looks really, really good. I mean,
you have entire sectors of academia there is saying that
children need to be liberated. We needed children's liberation movement.
Speaker 1: But and Katie fully admits that a lot of this
is spiritual. But being clever as a serpent, why is
this a serpent? In gentle as a dove, Katie takes
an approach to welcome people into talking about parental rights
and then beginning to introduce to it God's word.
Speaker 3: Well, I think that it is to fervently argue on
their behalf in ways that are irrefutable and undeniable. That's
what I'm after, And unfortunately, I think that Christians did
not do the hard work of making their case in
a way that the world could understand, and instead fell
back on just quoting scripture. And I say just quoting
scripture because I love the.
Speaker 4: Word of God.
Speaker 3: I mean like I'm in it. I try to read
the Bible with everyone that I'm with, But when it
comes to communicating policy objectives, fortunately, that can serve to
discredit us in their mind rather than bring doing It's harder.
It's harder to understand the historical, anthropological, social science, psychological
aspects of this and then bring to them a case
that perfectly represents the Word of God, but doesn't a
way where they're not able to dismiss us because we
are only quoting an authority that they don't recognize.
Speaker 1: I mentioned that her new book has a robust number
of conservative authors. I asked her about national security as
an issue of children's rights. That's Episode one thousand and
seven hundred and eighty five the Clips three clips that
we focus on one issue. This may well become one show.
We're looking at that. I'm looking at all the feedback
and getting from you guys. The left is very quick
to go out and try to play the meme game,
but they're not as good at as the right. This
is really really encouraging to me. It's an area in
which the right is excelling and beating the left at
the game of pop culture. You know that Jade Vance
did something I've been begging these guys today, show up
and extemporaneously extend an opportunity to debate. This time, he
didn't do that right to Kamala Harris, but Jade Vance
went and shamed the media, parked his plane next to
Kamala Harris is playing and said, hey, since you guys
don't get audience with her, maybe you'll talk to me.
Speaker 2: Had a little bit of fun.
Speaker 1: I don't think the Vice president of waived that mean
as she drove away, But I'm glad to have done it,
and I'm glad to.
Speaker 4: Be here in wiscont that actually trying to persuade people
to vote for US as opos of just giving another
scripted speech.
Speaker 1: So what are some other things that they could do?
Disruptive things like this. This was disruptive, it was smart.
It helped bring up the base. There's something President Trump
should and could do, should and could or could and
should Which order is it going? I don't know that
it matters. We'll talk about that, Tim Waltz. They're trying
so hard to bring the Obama juice around this creepy pervert.
Tim Waltz, tampon, Tim that stuck. You talk about memes
that is sticking to the man. He is a guy
who is spending a lot of energy trying to be
the insulter and at the same time the friendly uncle.
And then there's this.
Speaker 4: Looks like somebody might have fainted up here if we
got some of the ems somebody, don't worry about Folks
do this all the time in my meetings.
Speaker 1: I mean, that may have been someone fainting. Probably was.
There was a whole series of those that rush Limbaugh,
God rushed him used to run and what he showed
it was always the same speech. It was always the
same remark from Obama. It always happened at about the
same time. Now, I'm not saying that people don't faint
at speeches. I'm sure that happens. I know it does.
But this consistently, and for Tim Wolls, they're trying so
hard to bring the Obama juice on this. And yes,
I'm going to remind you that in the churches, the
black churches they're bringing up. Plus, the Washington Post wrote
an article saying that Camby Harris is going to be
pardon me, I've promised not to do that figurehead Kamala
Harris is going to be a revolutionary president. Okay, that's
their right. Then they ran an ad promoting the story
on Twitter. Is that not an inkind donation? We'll talk
about that, plus the other things that arise over the weekend.
That is the five minute focus. Please do share it
with friends, and much more importantly, please go with God's
good grace.
