Speaker 1: Welcome to the three stories version of the Todd Herman Show.
Story number one, the check I wrote the irs versus
the money Harvard is suing to keep. Story number two,
did Trump backstab his voters and crash the economy? I
respond to a commenter and a kind viewer, dash listener
plus and a past pretends that Jesus did a drag
show on Palm Sunday.
Speaker 2: Who cares I do?
Speaker 1: Because the people who attended that sermon do not understand
that they are probably blaspheming the Holy Spirit, which is
an unforgivable sin, the only one. We'll talk about this
with the help of Bulwark Capital Management, Know your Riskgrady
dot Com, and of course to the Great Province of
God Almighty.
Speaker 3: But Todd Herman Show is disapproved by big pharma technocrats
in tyrn Sebrian ware from the high Mountains of Free America.
Here's the Emerald City XI Todd Herman.
Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made, and these
are the times to which God has decided we shall live.
Speaker 2: I should say something up front.
Speaker 1: I have a problem with elite educational systems. Yeah, I know, shocking,
and there's a reason for that. And part of it's
a personal thing. It is. I'll tell you there's a
grievance got me a grievance back in the day when
I was kind of exploring myself and who I wanted
to be, and I realized that I liked intellectual pursuits
and I liked reading about government and law. I liked study,
I liked learning things, unlike in school where I was
resistant to this because it was being pushed on me.
And I really, I said, God had given me an
intellect and enjoyed this stuff.
Speaker 2: I went and.
Speaker 1: Sought to go get a head start in college. I
say dropped out first year of community college.
Speaker 2: After football was over, I was.
Speaker 1: Over, and I went and took a test to clap
to get credits for life experience. Said to take these
tests and determined what level of knowledge I had. And
had a conversation with the counselor at this college and
she said, hey, you know this is awesome. You already
have four You got a knowledge level of a four
year degree.
Speaker 2: There's a couple of things you'd need to learn.
Speaker 1: But basically you already have a college degree based upon
the tests and responses to this, and so we can
get you a college degree in under a year.
Speaker 2: Awesome, I'm in let's do this thing, all right.
Speaker 1: So here's how much it will cost you for the
credits that you were giving you.
Speaker 2: What what you want me to pay you.
Speaker 3: For what?
Speaker 2: I know?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it wouldn't be fair of the one because all
the other students have to pay. But all the other
students learned it from you. I learned it by independent
study and working in the real world. That's just the
way it works.
Speaker 2: Do I even get a discount? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, no, you only pay It's seventy five
percent of what they paid.
Speaker 2: But I taught it to myself. Well, there was that.
Speaker 1: Then there was also the time when I delivered a
lecture at NYU and I was invited.
Speaker 2: To do that.
Speaker 1: I used to do guest lectures at ucilly Anderson School
of Media and their NBA School, et cetera. And he
gave this lecture and this teacher or this this professor
came up. She goes, oh my gosh, oh my gosh,
it was thrilling. The students love that you got great ports.
And asked the question, because I don't know what Microsoft
pays you, but if we could even get near that,
would you ever consider coming here and teaching and leaving
Microsoft and coming here and teaching.
Speaker 2: I said, oh my gosh, absolutely. Oh I love that.
Speaker 1: I love interacting with young people, and I love sharing knowledge,
and oh my gosh, that would be a dream. Here's
the deal. I don't have a degree. She goes, that
doesn't matter. We can get you a degree super serap quickly.
So what was the last year in college? You had
first year of community collegure? Oh? I said, that changes everything,
doesn't it. She goes, yeah, it does. She went, Wait,
this doesn't say anything good about my profession. I go,
doesn't because all of a sudden, that wasn't.
Speaker 2: A great lecture.
Speaker 1: So I have a challenge with elite institutions. I also
have a challenge with Harvard, and particularly because it's already
corrupt and President Trump doesn't want them to have nine
billion dollars of our money. And this announcement happened the
day I went into the bank to pull thirty four
thousand dollars of my hard earned money out of that
bank so my wife and I could pay our taxes.
I don't want to pay the taxes because our government
that's corrupt. I take very little in government resources I
don't want the government to provide a lot of resources.
But if I don't pay this, then I go to prison.
Because my name is on Hunt Biden. And because God
said pay the taxes. Jesus said, give to Rome. What's
Rome's given the Caesar? What is Caesar's given to God?
What is God's I'm ordered to pay the tax.
Speaker 3: I pay the.
Speaker 2: Tax, and part of it goes to Harvard.
Speaker 1: Harvard has succeeded in forcing me to give them money,
despite their massive endowment, which I think now is like
seventy billion or more dollars. They have succeeded in forcing
you to give them money, you who never went to
school there. The fact is Harvard could afford on carried
interest on that endowment on carried interest alone, the principle
never dropping. They could pay their staff, and they could
have people come to college literally for free. But then
their endowment wouldn't grow. And and who cares? Why do
they need their endowment to grow? Why do they need
it to be one hundred and forty billion dollars? They're financial,
I mean, yeah, there are a financial institution. They're supposedly
an educational institution. So President Trump has seen fit to
take from them nine billion dollars of our money. And
I'm going to go through a ton of reasons why
I support all of this, a ton of reasons right
after I point something out to you. That check I
had to write is a check you write. You probably
don't write checks. It's probably taken out of withholding. And
we supposedly have all these retirement systems built up for us,
so security, et cetera. Do you understand to the degree
that our country is our finances are based upon absolute
corruption from the conjuring of money. That's called quantitative easying.
This is just pretending stuff is money to the treasury
illegally spending that pretend money to purchase real assets on
behalf of great big companies illegally. So much of your
retirement and mine, well mine used to be yours might
well be both to ninety percent of it is puffery,
sugar high stuff. If you're five, ten, fifteen years from
retirement and the sugar high hits the sugar crash.
Speaker 2: You could be in big trouble.
Speaker 1: Retirement doesn't happen. So here's a simple, easy way to
find out where you're at, with no obligation, no hard feelings.

Christopher Rufel a guy that the Left shouldn't have angered.
You know, all he was doing back in the day
was running to be a city councilman in the separate
country of Seattle.
Speaker 2: That's all he was doing.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a brilliant, brilliant man, but that's what
he was doing. So they decided to dox his wife,
who's Asian, and they decided to race shame her. So
rufo stepped out of the race, and people said, always
a coward no, he said, oh, okay, you want to play,
let's play.
Speaker 2: So he took his elite education.
Speaker 1: Which has worked for him, and he turned his target
on elite on the left and the culture wars they're called,
which are no such thing. You're either in the war
or you're not. And he opposted this about Harvard. Harvard
hosted racially segregated graduates and ceremonies for every group except
whites and Jews, in violation of the Civil Rights Act.
Speaker 2: The President has.
Speaker 1: Every right to withhold funding until Harvard stops practicing racial
discrimination and these sigregrades it's programs affinity, celebrating and honoring
graduates with disabilities, with Indigenous graduates, African American graduates, Hispanic graduates,
everybody but white people and Jews, because well, I mean Jews.
Harvard has allowed its campus to become a center for
anti Semitism. And look, you can, in fact hate the
country of Israel's government. Please don't, because we're called to
love our enemies. And if you consider the government of
Israel to be your enemy and you're a Christian, you
have to love them. There's also the inconvenient fact that
the Lord has an everlasting covenant with the Jewish people.
There's going to be a remnant of them who turn
to Jesus.
Speaker 2: That's promised.
Speaker 1: So there's that inconvenient fact, and we're called to pray
for them. But Harvard, you don't even have to like
Israel to know that they're allowing people to propagate hate
against a specific group of folks. We'll get to that.
There's also the admissions. Harvard is obviously rigging the system
to make sure that few white people get in. They
have bragged about this. They succeeded in winning a loss
suit because our court system is corrupt. But look at
the admission rates Harvard admission rates and disparities in the tenth.
Speaker 2: Dead style Black people a plus.
Speaker 1: Forty one point five percent in comparison to the population,
Hispanic plus sixteen point seven percent, White plus seven tenths
of a percent, and Asian people minus one point nine
percent in comparison to the population.
Speaker 2: Or the population.
Speaker 1: But the people who apply to get into school. They
went on a war agihad against Asian men. And the
way Harvard did this was very clever and very cynical.
After they were called out on it, they started to
have a personality test.
Speaker 2: So how did they achieve that perconse test. You flew to.
Speaker 1: Harvard's, you went out and you hung out with people,
You went bowling or whatever elite people do for sports.
Speaker 2: You go sail boating or play the cricket or whatever.
That's not what they did. You wrote a paper.
Speaker 1: And then someone read the paper, and then someone came
back and said, Eh, they're not a cultural match. They're
not going to rich the culture. They don't have enough,
they're not social enough. They did that to block Asian
men from getting it. And I had to go into
the bank and take thirty four thousand dollars of our
account and give it to the government. And one of
the reasons why is because Harvard demands their nine million
bucks nine billion dollars. We're forced to fund organizations we
don't like for services we can't use. I can't get
into Harvard, right, I just prove that I have the
equivalent now of probably a master's degree.
Speaker 2: I can't get into Harvard, but we're forced to fund it.
Speaker 1: They think Harvard thinks they have a right to this money.
And all we're telling him is, hey, look, go be Harvard.
Just don't use our money to be Harvard. You want
to be a racist organization, Go do it. A reporter
asked President Trump about this about Harvard, Are you considering
changing the tax status of Harvard?
Speaker 4: Disgrace? I think what they did was a disgrace. They're
obviously anti Semitic, and all of a sudden they're starting
to behave But when you see where they what they
were saying, what they were doing, when you see the
way they took care of events, when you watch that woman,
that horrendous president, that ruined the image of Harvard, maybe
permanently in Congress, in the halls of Congress. When you
take a look at what happened there's it was horrific.
And you know, I've looked at a lot having to
do with it. I'm not involved in it being handled
by lawyers. I read about it just like you did.
But tax exempt status, I mean, it's a privilege. It's
really a privilege, and it's been abused by a lot
more than Harvard. Buy a lot more than Harvard. So
we'll see how the doll works out. I don't think
I don't think they've made a final rulin. I don't
believe they've made a final ruling. But it's it's something
that these schools really have to be very very careful with,
very anti Semitic. When you take a look, whether it's Columbia, Harvard, Princeton,
I don't know what's going on, but when you see
how badly they've acted in other ways also, so we'll
be looking at it very strong.
Speaker 1: Of course, the fact that some of these campuses were
seized by activists with permission to some of the professors,
participation to some of the professors. There's the instances of
a Jewish professor being blocked from going on a campus
despite having his ID and senior members of the staff
they're watching this go on. There is the fact that
on the Harvard campus, students tore down the American flag
and replace it with the flag of Hamas, which is
a recognized terrorist.
Speaker 2: Group which by the way, has pledged.
Speaker 1: To destroy the Jewish people, to murder them, and to
destroy Israel, to kill all the Jews in Israel and
then come for us.
Speaker 2: And Harvard's cool with this.
Speaker 5: That's free speech, but we don't have to pay for it.
You want to promote those ideas that, you're right, it's
our right to say, we.
Speaker 1: Don't promote it. And in fact, it's the law. That's
what the civil rights laws are about. You don't get
to use federal money to discriminate. President Trump said that
in the Oval Office, and he also posted something on
True Social Everyone knows that Harvard has lost its way.
They hired from New York Bill Dee and Chicago Lori
l are ridiculous high salaries and fees, two of the
worst and most incompetent mayors in the history of our country.
To quote, teach municipal management and government. These two radical
left fools left behind two cities. It will take years
to recover from their incompetence and evil. Harvard has been
hiring almost all woke, radical left idiots and bird brains
who are only capable of teaching failure to students and
so called future leaders. So look at the recent pass
that they're plagiarizing presidents who so greatly embarrassed Harvard before
the United States Congress. When it got so bad they
just couldn't take it anymore. They moved this grossly enough
woman into another position teaching, rather than finding her on
the spot. Since then, machelse has been found out about her,
but she remains in place. Many others like these leftist
dopes are teaching at Harvard, and because of that, Harvard
could no longer be considered even a decent place of learning,
and should not be considered on any list of the
world's great universities of colleges. Harvard is a joke, teaches
hayt and stupidity, and should no longer receive for her funds.
Thank you for attention to this matter. Now that's President Trump,
But he disagrees with another man, a man of course
at peace reconciliation, man whose favorite saying was pick a target, isolated,
cut it off from its support base. Yes, Barack, who
say it? Obama led a protest at Harvard in nineteen
ninety in support of then Professor Derek Bell.
Speaker 6: And one of the persons who spoke at that orientation
was Professor Bell, and I remember him sauntering up to
the punt and not giving us a lecture, but engaging
us in a conversation and speaking the truth. Now, how
did this one man do all this? How's he accomplished
all this? He hasn't done it simply by his good
looks an easy charm, although he has both an ample man.
The scholarship has opened up new vistas and new horizons
and change the standards and what legal writing at about
open up your hearts in your minds to the word
Professor Derek.
Speaker 1: Belt, again, that was Obama's right, and Jack Bell decided
to protest with.
Speaker 2: An unpaid leave of absence from Harvard.
Speaker 1: And this happened in the nineteen ninety Harvard Lar School had
sixty tenured professors.
Speaker 2: Three of them were black men, five or women. None
of them.
Speaker 1: None of these women were African American women. And displeased
with that, he decided to go on an unpaid leave
of absence.
Speaker 2: His right. And that's one to the least.
Speaker 1: Of the things that Barack Obama has done to damage
his country. Harvard does not have any right to this
nine billion dollars. They decided to forfeit that right in perpetuity.
I think when they became a tool to indoctrinate rather
than teach, and they've made the decision Nope, we're going
to continue to segregate and teach racism. And we don't
care what the Civil Rights access the Supreme Court should
swiftly say. When he's gone, Bye bye. But John Roberts,
we'll see story number two. Great note and great challenge
from a listener and a viewer to the program, and
he writes in this.
Speaker 2: Way to us Todd, I've got.
Speaker 1: A genuine question, he said, if this economic crash happened
under Biden when he took office after Trump, how would
you feel about Democrats saying we needed this. I'm a
long term Mega supporter, even wielded signs for his campaign
in twenty twenty four. I don't understand how people are
justifying a literal depression, an economic crash in the same
fashion as the first Prussian happened. I'm always a huge
fan of your logical and opinion. It takes one of
the best and worll word voices in the concervative scene,
is you. I'm going to get laid off because of
these steel and aluminum tariffs. And I wish that someone
on the right would stand up and ask Mega, if
we actually know what's going on? Are you telling me
my job wielding heavy machinery frames? Are welding heavy machinery
frames is only propped up by the Chinese economy. No,
it was propped up in America being a country free trade.
Please try try to understand from the perspective a hardworking
family man, just like yourself. How hard it is to
be backstabbed by the person you put in office. Crashing
the economy is not a reset and mean losing my
job in a red state is proof. And I wish
I could use this gentleman's name, but he wrote this
on our YouTube channel YouTube dot com slash at the
Todd Herman Show, so I can't, but I will respond
in just a second, because we are backed up by
working people. For instance, my friends who run Alan SOPs.
Alan is fourteen years old, He's been through eighteen operations.
He's effectively nonverbal because of autism and how high he
is on the spectrum, but he works every day just
like this gentleman.
Speaker 2: It is quality control.
Speaker 1: In fact, he also invents fragrances of soaps you will
not find anywhere else. Fragrance is very very important to
a young man who can't speak that This is a
way of communicating. The soaps are made in America, just
like this gentleman. They are made by family with three
generations of soap making expertise, and they're absolutely unique. And
it's not just Allan who works there anymore. Ian works there,
also impacted by autism and amy also works there, the
world would have these guys. These young people tossed out.
In fact, they tried to unlive Alan in the womb.
His parents refused.
Speaker 2: Go to alansoaps dot com slash todd.
Speaker 1: You get ten percent off all their products, and every
time you wash your body or your hands with their
liquid soap, you will be proving that all lives matter
to you. It's alansoaps dot com slash todd. So respond
to this number one brother. That is so scary and
so painful to be facing a job loss. I'm not
gonna lie. That is scary and it is painful. And
understand something as well.
Speaker 2: When you lose your job, God forbids.
Speaker 1: If that lasts, we lose advertisers, we lose money in
the cast. Things for me get more expensive. We end
up having to constrict what we do. I don't have
any guarantees here. No one pays the bills. God is provided.
I believe God will continue to provide. I believe that
with my whole heart. We've been through cycles like this before.
That doesn't change the fact that you're facing something different
than I am right now. Is this what we must do?
I want to ask you something because you didn't say this.
Do you have grandkids?
Speaker 2: Do you have kids?
Speaker 1: I choose to go through this for my daughter and
for God willing her kids, because if we don't do this,
if we do not go through this battle, if we
do not trust in God Almighty to continue to provide,
if we do not remember that God said, look at
the sparrows in the field, they sell for a little
bit of money. I forget what he said, tiny little
bit of money. And and Father and Heaven, not one
is lost without our Father and Heaven knowing. And how
much more do you matter than the sparrows of the field.
God's going to provide. That's what I fully believe. But
if we don't do this, and we do not go
through this economic war, if we do not reset with China,
the end is going to be the same. We're going
to crash at that point. It's not a recession, it's
not a depression, it's a crash. It's gone. The country
is gone. This is the design of China. Am I
telling you that the only reason that you have a
job of welding heavy equipment is because of China?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: But I'm saying this your management, if it's a big
company meeting sized company. Most companies have become addicted to
China and slave labor and fake economics. This is a drug,
is an addiction to our country. Addictions only go in
one direction unless you choose to stand up to them.
I'm praying that as President Trump's team goes around around
the globe, going around China making economic agreements with other countries,
which is already starting to happen, We're starting to see
people invest in these countries. We have Nvidia coming in
to build chips here. We had a biotech company make
announcement they're going to do this here. Apple is onshoring stuff.
I fully believe that other companies are going to make
that decision because they're looking at the calculus. China is
a great, big market, but most of its people can't
afford to buy things. The United States, for our shame,
is the number one consumer market in the world because
we've been taught to consume and consume and consume. And
I believe that entrepreneurs are going to need people like
you because they're not going to just simply say, well,
I guess, I guess we can't make things out of
steel anymore. There's too much invested in this. I think
the steel buildings, the.
Speaker 2: Steel shops where I live, people are always buying these things.
I think that's going to continue to rise. Now we're
in a.
Speaker 1: Dip and it's scary, but if we don't go through this,
we're going to be saying to our grandkids later as
the country fully crashes, well, we had a good time.
We could have done some things, but it would have
caused us a lot of discomfort and pain, so we
decided to put it on your shoulders instead. Congratulations, we're
gonna enjoy our retirement. Good luck ever buying a house.
I can't do it, bro, I can't. And I appreciate
you writing in and looking at the clips and your
kind words about the program, and I hope that we
can still be virtual friends. Story number three, our friends
at protest. You have invented a word, and I wish
they had put a trademark on it, so I'm trademarking
it for them.
Speaker 2: It's the phrase and pastor.
Speaker 1: There is a massive obsession on the left, the sexual left,
with sexualizing Jesus Christ. He must be made either pan sexual,
he must be made bisexual. He must be made gender
defiant or gender confused. He must be all these things.
He simply cannot be a man who is fully man
and fully god, fully aware of who he was, and
is a man who fulfilled the law, who lived a
sinless life.
Speaker 2: That can't be Why.
Speaker 1: Because if Jesus did that, if Jesus was who he
said he was and he is, then the Bible itself
is a true thing. And all the words of Jesus.
And he said, none of my words will pass away.
The earth will pass away, these things you see will
pass away, but not my words. That means that it's
an internal truth. The rules for life are eternal. The Guidebook.
Jesus spoke a lot about relationships. He spoke about love,
he spoke about money, and he spoke about hell and
the devil a lot. And he warn't so people of
the sexual left are a obsessed with making Jesus into
someone who is broken like us.
Speaker 2: Jesus was depressed. He lacked an identity. That's why he.
Speaker 1: Said to Peter, who do you say I am? Because
Jesus didn't know who he was, which, your course, defies.
Speaker 2: Any form of logic.
Speaker 1: A man who knew he could pray to his father
in heaven to bring a person back to life, a
man who knew why he was here, who know what
his task was, who had worn from the very beginning.
I'm going to be taken to the cross. The son
of man must be raised up. He's going to be tortured.
Jesus knew exactly what he was saying, he knew what
his mission was, he knew his role in life. He
wasn't confused. But they need to make him confused.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: The danger isn't that you or I who are believing,
confessing Christians who've given our life to Jesus and agreed
to be changed by him and considering our Lord and Savior,
and those of whom understand the spiritual warfare that we're
just constantly under attack and we need to wear the armor.
Speaker 2: And from time to time the enemies just go boom,
surprise attack us.
Speaker 1: We need to be able to stop mentally as we're
driving and go, oh, our Father Heart and Heaven Hell
will be that name. Now, we're not particularly danger from
these pastors, except for this. In the Bible, we describe
or we read about watchers at the gate, watchers at
the gate, and watchers at the gate have given the
responsibility of warning others about danger and God tells the
watchers at the gate.
Speaker 2: If you see.
Speaker 1: Danger coming and you warn others and they don't listen
to you, and their blood is shed, you're innocent.
Speaker 2: However, if you see danger.
Speaker 1: Coming and you choose not to warn people and their
blood is shed, that's on you. Now, that's the Old Testament.
We have redemption in Jesus that we do not deserve.
And remember that Jesus said to people who had cast
out demons in his name, who'd perform miracles in his name,
and they went to Jesus and said, Lord Lord, and
he said, you know what, go away from the evil doers.
Speaker 2: I never knew you.
Speaker 1: Every time we fail to abide with God to carry
at what's expected of us. To whom much is given,
much is expected. If we're watchers at the gate and
we know spiritual dangers coming and we say, well, it's
not our circus, not our monkey, or what good is
it saying this? So that's just the left, and that's
just the West Coast, and that's just the separate country
of California, and they deserve it. We are giving ourselves
over to a risk of on Judgment Day, looking Lord
Jesus in the face and there's his beauty, his majesty.
You fall to your face. Oh my gosh, I'm ruined.
Look at your perfection. And you walk up to the
throne and you kneel and you sit before him and
you say Lord, Lord, Lord, and he says, oh, I.
Speaker 2: Don't know who you are. Go away from me. We
put ourselves at risk.
Speaker 1: So I'll show you what this in pastor said and
why this is so very very dangerous for this flock
that she is misleading. We'll do this in a second.
Into the spiritual warfare. You have a friend of mine
who didn't just do spiritual warfare, but he did spiritual
warfare in Babylon while fighting a physical war.
Speaker 2: That's nuts.
Speaker 1: My friend, him Kookshaik, is a founder and CEO of
Bone Frog Coffee. He did three tours on her behalf
as a medic attached to the Seal teams, and he
actually got to fight a kinetic war in Babylon. And
Tim is a fully confessing Christian man. Every bag of
coffee from Bone Frog says God, Country team on it
God obviously the Lord Country. Clearly he was willing to
die for his country, and no love, no greater leve
has man than the laid on his life for his
brother in team. He extends that to family. He built
a team at bone Frog that includes an advisor. In fact,
he makes some of the roast. Dave Stewart started Seattle's
Best Coffee that became so good that Starbucks was forced
to purchase Seattle's Best Coffee. So Dave Stewart makes some
of the roast and he mentors Tim's team on doing it.
Tim hires veterans whenever he can. In fact, he just
set two of his team members to Buds to go
be seals.
Speaker 2: There There There now. So there's a new bag.
Speaker 1: It's called Golden Age New Roast in honor of a
chance to have our country back economically and socially. This
is Tim's decision to honor that. It's limited time. You
can buy it now at Bonefrog Coffee dot com slash todd.
If it's your first purchase, you go there Bonefrog Coffee
dot Com sash todd use code tod to get ten
percent off your first purchase. Once you love the coffee
and discover the greatness of the company, go back Bonefrog
Coffee dot Com slash todd and you get fifteen percent
off subscription ca for life from her friends at Protestie.
This is a fake pastor, or, as they call her,
an inpastor. And here again she is sexualizing Jesus.
Speaker 7: Jesus's triumphant drag queen entry into Jerusalem is doomed. Much
of fascism is a bluff. Look at our loyal cult.
Listen to our outrageous language, heat, our threats of violence.
We are inevitable. It's a bluff. It's a ridiculous mirage
of might that is made up to make us feel small.
And in the face of this, Jesus laughs, because that
is what Palm Sunday is. It is a total drag,
a total drag show of a military parade, homespun and homemade,
with the simple things that people simply had on hand.
Jesus didn't need shining armor or powerful horses or lions
in chains, because Jesus is the lion of Judah, and
Jesus in this moment is doing a drag show.
Speaker 1: She's doing a brilliant job of spiritual catfishing. And catfishing
needs a thing online where someone pretends to be a
beautiful woman or a sexy man, and so they get
you to give them money, and then they've got you hooked,
and you keep giving him money because you know they're
gonna fly her from Russia and marry you.
Speaker 2: She's describing a Jesus that is partially correct.
Speaker 1: Jesus was taking on the power establishment, but not to
overturn it, not military. He was taking on the power
establishment of a corrupt church environment.
Speaker 2: False teachers like her. But drag.
Speaker 1: Here's fulfilling scripture. He entered through the lambsgate because he
was the lamb of God. He rode on a donkey
because it was foretold in scripture. He did that because
he showed the habit of serving rather than being served.
He showed humility because he was the humble Savior. He
did that to welcome all. He did not seek the powerful.
He did not confront the powerful, other than in the
temple or when they perverted the word of God.
Speaker 2: Only then. He didn't care a wit about Rome. And
he was not in drag.
Speaker 1: Now, of course, this fake pastor, this past risk, this impastor,
think she's being clever, but there.
Speaker 2: Is a big, big, big issue with.
Speaker 1: The people who backed this stuff, and she is putting
herself at great spiritual risk.
Speaker 7: Not so like quote myself. But I do talk about
this in my book, and I have a chapter called
a drag Queen Messiah that I want to read from.
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I wonder if she's going to quote scripture
and Alex check. Has she quote a scripture? Yet not
a single bit of scripture, but she's going to quote
her own book self referentialism here, here we go.
Speaker 7: Drag is a performance art form that takes the bizarre
and the banal to an extreme, holding up a mirror
to our lives so we can find humor and release
in the silliness of being alive. Drag queens use bold
makeup and exaggerated dance moves to illumine the ludicrous beauty
standards and at the same time uplift what is beautiful
in the mundane reality of life.
Speaker 1: It's certainly not anything you know, lustlie or anything like that.
Certainly not fleshly. Here's the problem. You know that phrase
from the Bible, God will not be mocked. There's lots
of ways to look at that, such as you can
try to mock them, but it doesn't. That's one way
to look at it. There is another way to look
at it. Let's go with Jesus, the Suffering Savior.
Speaker 2: He was mocked.
Speaker 1: They mocked him going to the cross, when he was
on the cross, why don't you save yourself? At one
point then they were beating him before the cross, prophesied
they had a hood over him so they couldn't see, Prophesy,
who's hitting you, who's beating you? Prophesy, cast yourself down,
the Savior. And I'm sure they said a lot of
other things to him as they scourged him and spat
upon him and beat him.
Speaker 2: So they were mocking him.
Speaker 1: And then when his body gave out, the earth shook,
the sky turned dark. This massive curtain in the temple
was torn down forever, and some of the gospel accounts,
the dead rose to life and the people who had
been mocking him. At least one of the Roman soldiers said, uh, oh,
truly this man was the son of God. Oh they mocked,
but mocking. When it comes back to the reality of
who you mocked was in fact God and the Son
of God, it doesn't feel much like mocking anymore, does it.
It feels like a massive mistake. But that was the
suffering Savior. Jesus Christ will return as judge as triumphant king.
Every knee will bow, every tongue will confess, and that
woman will be brought to account, and Jesus will say,
why did you say I was a drag queen? Why
did you mock me? My worry is to people listening
to this who don't understand that they are in fact
endorsing the mocking of God. In scripture, Jesus describes one
unforgivable sin, that is to blaspheme the Holy Spirit, and
the context is important. The techocratic religious authorities of the
day had called Jesus. They'd said to him, you are
casting out demons by the power of the demonic. They
were calling him a demon, they were calling him the devil.
And he introduced the fact that to blaspheme the Holy
Spirit is an unforgivable sin, and they were blaspheming him
by calling him the devil. Now she's not calling him
the devil, but she's saying he was putting on a
pseudo sexual performance as a drag queen when he was
on his way to the cross, to be tortured, belittled, beaten,
and to die an incredibly painful.
Speaker 2: Death, which was the least of it. He also had.
Speaker 1: Poured upon him the cups of wrath for all sin
ever committed and all sin that ever will be committed,
And he was the only being who could ever sustain that.
So the people in her flock, I think, will be
asked on judgment Day as they kneel before the throne,
why did you participate in mocking my walk to the cross.
Speaker 2: We are supposed to pray for people who are misled
this way. We're supposed to pray.
Speaker 1: For that woman and those of us who are committed
Christians changed by the Lord Jesus seeking to abide with him.
We would do well to remember that unless we abide
and do pray for people like that, so we can
also put ourselves at risk of the Lord.
Speaker 2: Saying, go away from me. I never knew you. This
is the todd Hermanshaw.
Speaker 1: Please go, will be strong, be kind, and please make
every effort to walk in the light of Christ.
