Our Faith and Fitness segment. 8 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,519 We'll talk about this all with the help of Bulwark 9 00:00:29,559 --> 00:00:32,640 Capital Management, the Other riskpodcast dot com, and God Almighty. 10 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one percent disapproved by big 11 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:46,240 pharma technocrats and tyrn s everywhere. From the high mountains 12 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:54,280 of Free America. Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman. 13 00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:05,599 Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made, and these 14 00:01:05,599 --> 00:01:08,480 are the times through which God has decided we shall live. 15 00:01:09,519 --> 00:01:12,719 What can we say to people who are corrupted, judges 16 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,040 who are corrupted, and citizens who are so tired of 17 00:01:16,079 --> 00:01:20,920 seeing corrupt judges make corrupt decisions. Well, we can give 18 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,159 everybody some peace of mind, and that is that this 19 00:01:23,239 --> 00:01:24,959 isn't the way things are going to be forever, that 20 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,799 there's going to be a final judgment, and that final 21 00:01:27,879 --> 00:01:31,840 judgments will never change, so people should get their stuff 22 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,840 together right now. I bring this up because it's difficult 23 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,879 to look at the news and not see instances where 24 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,840 judges are doing things that are utterly corrupt. And let's 25 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,640 start with a little bit of framing away from their judiciary. 26 00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:49,840 If you ever had a strict but fair father in 27 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,239 biblical design homes, it's the father who's really supposed to 28 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,519 be the disciplinarian. Not that mothers can't, but in a 29 00:01:56,519 --> 00:01:59,519 biblical design home, it's really the father's job. I aired 30 00:01:59,519 --> 00:02:02,719 on this front, un tried to discipline and did that 31 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,239 to a degree. But I was never the father who 32 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,120 was scary when dad came home. My wife never got 33 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,960 to say you wait till Dad gets home. It's because 34 00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:13,719 not who I was. But if you've ever been in 35 00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:17,599 the home of a father who is a godly father, fair, 36 00:02:18,719 --> 00:02:21,879 just gentle, but hard line when it comes to having 37 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,560 done wrong, then if you've never seen that, you've never 38 00:02:24,599 --> 00:02:28,319 seen the majesty of how this works, of a mother 39 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,960 saying here's the deal. You guys broke this rule. Here's 40 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,759 what I'm going to do. This thing is gone. You 41 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,919 can't do this. Now you're grounded for the day, and 42 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,280 then you wait until your dad gets home, because your 43 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,319 dad will have the final say. And in a Christian home, 44 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,360 the parents are communicating in the back end, they're doing 45 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,280 phone calls. Oh my gosh, honey, the kids did this. 46 00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:51,919 Here's what I've done. And the dad's job is to 47 00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:55,159 be the one that comes home. And the kids have 48 00:02:55,319 --> 00:02:58,319 love and fear and respect. But it's the fear of 49 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,560 having disappointed. It's not the fear of taking a beating, 50 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,680 not a physical one, but it's this fear of your 51 00:03:05,759 --> 00:03:08,240 dad coming home and saying, you're in your room. And 52 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,400 I've seen it. I lived in a good Christian home 53 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,520 where there was a dad was like this, he's my godfather. 54 00:03:13,759 --> 00:03:17,080 I've been in the room when my friend's younger brother 55 00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:21,639 had done something pretty horrendous and the truck pulled up 56 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:28,639 their father's jeep, and the room went silent, and my 57 00:03:28,719 --> 00:03:32,599 friend's younger brother looked up and his mother in the 58 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:38,719 kitchen didn't even need to say anything. Dad's home. His 59 00:03:38,759 --> 00:03:42,599 father came through the door, kissed his wife, kissed his 60 00:03:42,639 --> 00:03:46,719 other sons, kissed Drew in the forehead and said, son, 61 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:52,599 come with me. I remember all the other kids looking 62 00:03:52,639 --> 00:03:58,080 around like ooh, Dad's home. I'd remember specifically what he did. 63 00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:02,560 But the judgment was final. There's no arguing. It was 64 00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:06,439 delivered in love and clarity, and it was final. And 65 00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:09,280 I think in that case what happened was Drew lost 66 00:04:09,319 --> 00:04:10,840 a lot of his possessions and a lot of his 67 00:04:10,919 --> 00:04:16,000 money gone forever because he'd made a tremendous mistake. In 68 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,680 our society, we see judges that are doing things that 69 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,279 aren't just tremendous mistakes. It's difficult to see how they're 70 00:04:22,319 --> 00:04:26,959 not personal, how they're not personally directed at us. There 71 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:32,959 was a man who ended the life of a little 72 00:04:32,959 --> 00:04:38,360 baby under the age of one, and a judge got 73 00:04:38,399 --> 00:04:39,600 to render judgment on this. 74 00:04:40,199 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 3: Jan Moni's Rabino was sentenced to probation for the death 75 00:04:43,399 --> 00:04:46,920 of seventeen month old Kai to Soro, who suffered fatal 76 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,920 injuries while in his care. Prosecutor said Kai was rushed 77 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,879 to hospital in June after being found unresponsive. Doctors reported 78 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,240 severe head trauma, bruising, and broken bones. They said the 79 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,600 injuries were consistent with abuse, not an accident. Rabino initially 80 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,079 told investigators the child had fallen. The injuries could not 81 00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:07,879 be caused by a simple fall Kai was placed on 82 00:05:07,959 --> 00:05:11,959 life support and died days later. Rabno was originally charged 83 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,040 with murder and child abuse charges that could have sent 84 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,399 him to prison for decades, but prosecutors later agreed to 85 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,279 a manslaughter plea deal. They cited major risks at trial, 86 00:05:22,399 --> 00:05:26,839 including inconsistent witness statements and a lack of direct eyewitnesses. 87 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,160 At sentencing, the judge acknowledged the seriousness of the case 88 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,120 and said she did not like the outcome, but approve 89 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:33,920 the agreement. 90 00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:36,639 Speaker 1: She didn't like the outcome, but she approved the agreement, 91 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,600 which she didn't need to approve. This could be taken 92 00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:44,600 to a jury. And are there risks in this, Yes, 93 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,720 but that's the case that you could at least defend 94 00:05:47,879 --> 00:05:50,319 a little bit. If you don't like out the outcome, 95 00:05:50,399 --> 00:05:53,680 why are you approving the outcome? Other stuff cannot be defended. 96 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:59,360 It comes across as completely corrupt. So there's a massive 97 00:05:59,399 --> 00:06:02,600 number of a Maryrias who are calling for a really 98 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,600 pursing of the courts given what's going on in San Francisco, 99 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,639 and this happens in the separate countries California and Washington, 100 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,000 Oregon all too often. In this case, it is a 101 00:06:14,079 --> 00:06:18,279 clear active assault It is a man who just decided 102 00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:22,279 to go blindside an eighty four year old guy, landing 103 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,680 him in the hospital. And this guy was not given 104 00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:30,120 prison time for a very specific reason. Watch this. This 105 00:06:30,199 --> 00:06:32,720 guy's just walking along with his mask and a big, 106 00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:36,399 big dude comes up and just chest tackles him, just 107 00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:38,920 blocks him to the ground. Eighty four year old man. 108 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,600 And he see it again. He sees him coming, but 109 00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:42,839 he's eighty four. There's nothing he can do. There is 110 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,360 no reason for him to do this. He just decided 111 00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:47,240 to do it. Well, Audrey. 112 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,959 Speaker 4: The family of Vitro Atana Patti is not happy about 113 00:06:49,959 --> 00:06:53,759 this sentence, and they are especially critical of the judge 114 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,680 who oversaw this trial. They say that Judge Linda Colfax 115 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,279 unfairly kept some details of watson prior juvenile record from 116 00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:04,800 the jury, but then considered his successful completion of juvenile 117 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,759 probation in her sentencing decision. Today, because of technicalities and 118 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,519 the law, she decided to focus on one of the charges. 119 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,279 He was convicted of assault causing great bodily injury, carrying 120 00:07:15,279 --> 00:07:18,399 a three year sentence. That's because the jury also found 121 00:07:18,439 --> 00:07:21,879 that when Antoine Watson violently attacked Meature a ton of 122 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,240 Poctey on January twenty eighth, twenty twenty one. They also 123 00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:28,959 found him guilty of two enhancements on that charge. Judge 124 00:07:28,959 --> 00:07:32,800 Colfax says the law allows an additional five years for 125 00:07:32,879 --> 00:07:36,600 those enhancements. Because Watson has already served five years in 126 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,759 jail and then earned additional credit for time served for 127 00:07:39,879 --> 00:07:42,959 good behavior, she decided, instead of sending him to prison 128 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,680 for two more years what's left of the sentence, she 129 00:07:45,839 --> 00:07:47,480 instead granted him probation. 130 00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 5: The judge already had in mind what she was going 131 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,800 to do, in my opinion, and they just carried it out, 132 00:07:53,959 --> 00:07:54,879 and her in the. 133 00:07:57,319 --> 00:07:58,639 Speaker 3: Her in the defense. 134 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: Very well together. They said it would have a poor 135 00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:04,879 impact on this guy to be sent to prison, and 136 00:08:04,959 --> 00:08:08,199 it may have. This is one case upon other cases, 137 00:08:08,279 --> 00:08:11,199 upon other cases of people who've been let out after 138 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,839 ninety eight arrest four or five different felonies. Then we 139 00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:17,680 could spend the next two hours going through cases where 140 00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:21,920 Jesus has done unthinkable things. There's going to be a 141 00:08:21,959 --> 00:08:25,639 final judgment, and when that final judgment comes, there's no 142 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:30,240 way out, there's no redress. And Jesus Christ, who is 143 00:08:30,639 --> 00:08:35,600 almost endless with mercy, almost endless with us to come 144 00:08:35,639 --> 00:08:39,639 to him with our corruption, our human sin, to repent 145 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,919 of these things. He's holding out his hands. And there 146 00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:47,039 are some people who look at that as corrupt. That 147 00:08:47,159 --> 00:08:51,240 Jesus is willing to forgive murderers and rapists as well 148 00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:54,720 as people who commit so called minor sins. It's not corruption, 149 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:59,480 it's mercy. But to these corrupt human judges, the decisions 150 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,200 you make in the black rooms, in the black robes, 151 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,440 in private, Jesus is there for the discussion. He knows 152 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,679 if they're corrupt, he knows if it's well intended. He 153 00:09:08,759 --> 00:09:11,360 knows all of these things. And you may not be 154 00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:14,919 a Christian, you may not believe Jesus ever existed. Here's 155 00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:17,799 what the Bible says. Every knee will bow and every 156 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,879 tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. That doesn't 157 00:09:20,919 --> 00:09:26,120 mean that every knee bows an exultation or excitement or yes, 158 00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:29,000 Jesus is here. It means that some people are going 159 00:09:29,039 --> 00:09:31,279 to bow because they don't want to, but they have to. 160 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,320 It's in the sight of the majestic Lord. On that 161 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,000 judgment day, Jesus has all the evidence. Nothing is held back. 162 00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:43,320 So to human judges who are corrupt, you're going to 163 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,519 be given your day in court, and if you haven't 164 00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:49,440 repented and accepted the Lord Jesus, at that point, you 165 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,639 are going to convict yourself to a life eternal. Apart 166 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,080 from him and to us who look at corrupt human judges, 167 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:03,080 we're no different. We make decisions sometimes that are corrupt. 168 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,840 We try to hide our sins, We try to bury 169 00:10:06,879 --> 00:10:10,360 them below these excuses, or forget them or blame other people. 170 00:10:10,759 --> 00:10:12,879 We can turn to all the corrupt human judges in 171 00:10:12,919 --> 00:10:15,519 the world, and Jesus can come and say to us, yes, 172 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,159 but the forest of logs grown out of your eyes 173 00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:21,080 while you're looking at the specs and others. We can 174 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,440 be corrupt judges of our own activity. We can look 175 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,200 at our sin and say, yeah, but it's not as 176 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,919 bad as their sin. Human judges should be careful because 177 00:10:31,039 --> 00:10:34,279 people are waking up to how corrupt the governments are. 178 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,799 Or show you an instance of this in Canada that 179 00:10:36,879 --> 00:10:38,879 if you're a gun owner, it should have great, great 180 00:10:38,919 --> 00:10:41,799 hope for you that people are at least aware to 181 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,159 what the government's trying to do. But even here there 182 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,639 exists a risk for our souls. I'll share that in 183 00:10:47,639 --> 00:10:50,919 a second life is filled with risk. If you're someone 184 00:10:50,919 --> 00:10:53,919 who takes physical risks and you're my age, you can 185 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,919 go out and have something like a shoulder tear or 186 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,720 an acl tear, and maybe it's not catastrophic, but it 187 00:10:59,759 --> 00:11:03,080 will be. Our bodies simply don't heal the way they 188 00:11:03,159 --> 00:11:06,039 used to. If you're someone who loves skiing or weightlifting 189 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,240 or running and you've got one of these tears and 190 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,559 it's nagging, or you've got the cartilage on your knee 191 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,559 going away, your doctor has said something to you like 192 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,360 one day you might be bone on bone here. What 193 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,240 if you could stop that in its tracks? What if 194 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,919 you never had to be cut open? What if you 195 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,039 could go down to portavart to Mexico to Renew Healthcare. 196 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,200 Where I've been, I've taken my very best friends, I've 197 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,879 taken my life group leader, I've taken people I love dearly, 198 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,000 and I've taken people who are viewers and listeners to 199 00:11:35,039 --> 00:11:37,759 the show. What if they could help you avoid surgery 200 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,600 in a couple of days where you take a beautiful vacation. 201 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,360 That's what I suggest. Simply check with them Good or 202 00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:48,279 renew r E n ue dot Healthcare. They will look 203 00:11:48,279 --> 00:11:51,559 at your condition, your mrize your scanned whatever you have, 204 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,600 and they will tell you if they can help you. 205 00:11:53,919 --> 00:11:57,559 They don't do fifty percent likely to help. If it's 206 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,440 not well above fifty percent. They don't even want you 207 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,519 to come down and renew and ue dot Healthcare. Please 208 00:12:02,519 --> 00:12:05,759 tell them you're part of the Todd Hermannshew family. The 209 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,200 corrupt government in Canada is now going out to force 210 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,759 people to comply with giving up their weapons. There is 211 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,159 a trap here. This was a law passed by the 212 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,559 Canadian government. Canadians are, in fact refusing that there is 213 00:12:19,639 --> 00:12:21,159 a spiritual danger here. 214 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 5: The declaration period for firearms owners as scheduled to end 215 00:12:23,879 --> 00:12:27,000 next week. So far, only two point five percent of 216 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,559 the estimated two million affected firearms have been declared and 217 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,279 ninety eight percent of firearms owners haven't made a declaration. 218 00:12:34,039 --> 00:12:36,720 So if they're not declaring by next week, what's your plan, Minister? 219 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 6: The RCMP and other agencies will be available throughout the 220 00:12:44,159 --> 00:12:46,639 spring of the summer to do the collection. 221 00:12:47,399 --> 00:12:49,279 Speaker 5: And you're saying that your plan is over the spring 222 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,440 in the summer to deploy RCMP officers to go door 223 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,120 to door to firearms owners and seize their firearms. 224 00:12:55,799 --> 00:12:57,279 Speaker 7: These are additional resources. 225 00:12:57,279 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 5: So these are those who are off duty, those who 226 00:13:00,279 --> 00:13:04,080 may be retired. I just find that very concerning. 227 00:13:04,639 --> 00:13:09,279 Speaker 1: People should find it concerning, and yet Canadians voted for this. Sadly, 228 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:14,320 if you're Canadian Christian Romans thirteen, you have to turn 229 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:21,080 over your firearms otherwise you sin. This is why it's 230 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,600 very very important for us to care about politics the 231 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,440 same way Jesus did. Love the Lord, our God with 232 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,840 entire heart, mind, soul, and strength, love our neighbor as ourself, 233 00:13:28,879 --> 00:13:31,799 but not be obsessed by politics, and to walk a 234 00:13:31,919 --> 00:13:35,240 very very careful line. In America, we have the Second Amendment. 235 00:13:35,799 --> 00:13:39,480 It is unalienable. It's a right given us by God. 236 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:45,000 Absence a constitutional amendment. They can't do this, and we 237 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,320 have to follow laws, even the ones we don't like, 238 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,120 because it's not just corrupt human judges and black robes 239 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:55,840 who will face Jesus as final judge. Story number two. 240 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,440 We should care about politics the same way Jesus does 241 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,879 our faith and flag segments. I'm really struggling with how 242 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,720 much I should care about politics. Are you in the 243 00:14:07,759 --> 00:14:10,320 same place? How much should we care? This is something 244 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,159 we should care about more. If you're a Christian and 245 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,440 you engage in politics. We really needed to pay attention 246 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,360 to some things. I've spent most of my life in 247 00:14:17,399 --> 00:14:20,120 and around politics. I started to get political in my 248 00:14:20,159 --> 00:14:22,720 early twenties, you know, when I was a twenty one 249 00:14:22,759 --> 00:14:24,600 year old kid. I was one of those weirdos to 250 00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:27,720 subscribe to The Weekly Standard and National Review and the 251 00:14:27,879 --> 00:14:32,200 Washington Times. I even subscribed to policy newsletters that read 252 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,720 these things at home and kind of inform my political views. 253 00:14:35,759 --> 00:14:37,279 And this is one of the ways I started to 254 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,679 back up my conservatism. I became a conservative when I 255 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,120 was in sixth grade and I saw how much power 256 00:14:43,399 --> 00:14:46,039 school teachers can have in school principles, and like, wow, 257 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,399 government can be way too powerful. But I was sort 258 00:14:48,399 --> 00:14:51,879 of intellectualizing this at this point, and politics has been 259 00:14:51,919 --> 00:14:53,840 a passion for me since then. I spent years in 260 00:14:53,879 --> 00:14:56,720 talk radio, my first run through talk radio nineteen ninety 261 00:14:56,759 --> 00:14:59,440 three through nineteen ninety seven. After that, I took a 262 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,840 break and so or some tech companies and inter Rated Company, 263 00:15:03,039 --> 00:15:06,639 did some time at Microsoft and in DC in starting 264 00:15:06,679 --> 00:15:09,440 a couple of startups and selling Dose. But my passion 265 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,440 has always been radio, political talk radio. So my passion 266 00:15:12,559 --> 00:15:15,240 was the politics, and I love reading about the politics. 267 00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:17,519 And I love fighting for the political change, and I 268 00:15:17,559 --> 00:15:21,279 loved holding these people to account. I love having positionholders 269 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,200 on my show back when they would come on my show. 270 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,960 A funny thing happens when you take a couple of 271 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,840 Republicans out as a conservative talk show hosts. All of 272 00:15:29,879 --> 00:15:31,440 a sudden, the Republicans don't want to come in your 273 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,840 show because you don't pay. You don't play a paty 274 00:15:33,879 --> 00:15:36,480 with them, you don't play Paddo cake. You're actually not 275 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,039 afraid to take out a Republican who's corrupt or Republican 276 00:15:40,039 --> 00:15:44,440 who's lying. So I sit here today doing a talk 277 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,360 show where we tried to do everything we can to 278 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,320 have God at the center, and I ask myself, how 279 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,840 much should I actually care as a Christian man? How 280 00:15:52,919 --> 00:15:56,639 much time should I give politics? As someone who wants 281 00:15:56,679 --> 00:15:59,559 to serve the Lord Jesus? How can I think of 282 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,799 the same way the Lord Jesus talked about politics or 283 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,919 thought about it. Let's take this from a thought experiment perspective. 284 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,440 This is probably deeply angering to a lot of people. 285 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,879 It is to me. This is how the so called 286 00:16:13,919 --> 00:16:16,919 Republican Senate make sure that President Trump doesn't get to 287 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,720 do recess appointments for judicial nominees. Remember that the Senate 288 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,879 has done almost nothing to help President Trump with his 289 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,399 judicial nominees. I want the President's judicial nominees in place. 290 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:27,919 This is how they do it. 291 00:16:28,039 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 5: Will be in order. Chair Lee is before the House 292 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,200 of Communication from. 293 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,039 Speaker 1: The Speaker. 294 00:16:37,159 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 8: The Speaker's Rooms, Washington, d C. August eighth, twenty twenty five. 295 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,399 I hear by a point the Honorable Mike Kelly to 296 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,639 act as Speaker pro temporary on this day, signed Mike Johnson, 297 00:16:48,919 --> 00:16:50,679 Speaker of the House of Representatives. 298 00:16:50,679 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: That's the House Clerk reading a communicate. This is an 299 00:16:57,279 --> 00:17:00,799 example of how the Senate is a to pretend to 300 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:05,240 not be in recess. They have little, tiny fake meetings 301 00:17:05,279 --> 00:17:09,720 like this that could be accomplished through email. They do 302 00:17:09,799 --> 00:17:12,720 this on purpose. They're not on recess. Look at all 303 00:17:12,759 --> 00:17:14,839 the busy, busy work they're doing. They're busy, busy people. 304 00:17:14,839 --> 00:17:20,559 It's a great example. Does that anger you? It enrages me, 305 00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:25,640 which is why I can't care about it. Rage is 306 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,400 not a godly emotion. Indignant feeling indignant about something, it's godly. 307 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,759 Being frustrated by it more godly. But how would Jesus 308 00:17:34,759 --> 00:17:36,799 look at something like this. Let's think about this in 309 00:17:36,839 --> 00:17:40,559 a second. How does Jesus look at the least of these? 310 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,200 I mean, to Jesus, we're all the least to these. 311 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,720 To Jesus, we all struggle, and yet there are people 312 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,440 among us who struggle in some different ways. Alan and 313 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,920 Alan Soaps is thirteen. He's been through eighteen operations. He 314 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,400 is nonverbal effectively, very high up on the autism spectrum, 315 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,160 and he just lost his dad. His dad's start did 316 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,640 a company called Alan Soaps for his son to have 317 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,319 a place to work because John and Tina, John's widow, 318 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,400 were absolutely convinced their sons needed to work. Now Alan 319 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,920 has structural health concerns as well. It's very difficult from 320 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,000 the walk, hence the eighteen operations. His brother Ian is 321 00:18:16,079 --> 00:18:19,079 also deeply impacted by autism. But they both work at 322 00:18:19,079 --> 00:18:21,559 a soap company where the soap is made in America 323 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,759 by a family. That family has three generations of soap 324 00:18:24,759 --> 00:18:27,680 baking expertise. You'll never find a chemical in any of 325 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,720 this soap, because that's not the way they do things. 326 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,759 John did die and Tina has taken over the company. 327 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,160 This is an uphill battle. She's never run a soap 328 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,519 company before the soap is continues to be world class. 329 00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:44,799 The company continues to have the mission of employing Ian 330 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,119 and Allan. They continue to make the best soap in 331 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,920 the world. So it started a package to honor John 332 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,440 in his life. It's the four original soaps that got 333 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:57,640 Alan started. Watermelon Basil, Vanilla, lime, Cedowoo, jasmine, and lavender Rosemary. 334 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,359 You get these for under thirty bucks, and Tina's throwing 335 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,319 in a simple sisle pouch for everyday use. Please help 336 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,400 these guys get back on the feet, get the company 337 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,720 back rolling, and enjoy the best soap that the world 338 00:19:08,759 --> 00:19:11,160 has to offer.

We're 345 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,759 to have a defense for our optimism as Christians, because Jesus, 346 00:19:36,599 --> 00:19:38,480 we're to have a reason we wake up in the morning, 347 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:43,000 a reason we feel satisfied a job to build the kingdom. 348 00:19:43,839 --> 00:19:47,559 We can look at politicians the way Jesus does. Absolutely 349 00:19:47,839 --> 00:19:50,319 fall in human beings in need of him, in need 350 00:19:50,319 --> 00:19:53,880 of Jesus Christ likely to do very, very corrupt things, 351 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,559 just like us. I think if we look at politics 352 00:19:56,599 --> 00:19:58,680 this way, we have a lot better time making clear 353 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:03,319 decisions and not fall into spiritual traps. Story number three 354 00:20:03,599 --> 00:20:07,119 is the NBA against Jesus Christ our faith and fitness segment. 355 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,359 Is it fair to say that the National Basketball Association 356 00:20:11,599 --> 00:20:15,200 is against Jesus Christ. Well, let's measure this. One of 357 00:20:15,279 --> 00:20:18,160 their players, a guy named Jaden Ivy, has been said 358 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,759 to men at the end of his game, a bunch 359 00:20:19,759 --> 00:20:22,640 of injuries, etc. On the other hand, there are colleagues 360 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,440 of his in the NBA who say, now Jaden was 361 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,440 coming to practice, he was coming back, he was fine. 362 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,359 Jaden Ivy did something unthinkable. He posted some Bible verses 363 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:37,400 about the lgb Q and so called t phenomena. He 364 00:20:37,599 --> 00:20:40,599 said that these things are unrighteous. He was frustrated that 365 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,839 the league wants him to celebrate the unrighteous. In point 366 00:20:44,839 --> 00:20:47,400 of fact, he's right. This is what the Bible says 367 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:52,200 about all forms of sexual perversion outside of God's plan. 368 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,160 Fornication and adultery usually thought of as happening between opposite 369 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,880 sex attracted people, and then same sex activity, which clearly 370 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,200 happens between same sex attracted people. The Bible calls it sin. 371 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,119 And it's not just the apostle Paul. It's also in 372 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,880 Revelation that this is brought up. It's brought up across 373 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,319 the Bible, in the Old Testament as well. Jesus didn't 374 00:21:13,319 --> 00:21:16,319 erase the Old Testament. He came to fulfill the law, 375 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,000 not to erase the law. And when he made changes 376 00:21:19,039 --> 00:21:21,119 to the law, he made that very very clear. And 377 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,759 Jesus did change the law in regard to sexuality. Oh 378 00:21:24,799 --> 00:21:28,759 you didn't know that. Jesus absolutely changed the law in 379 00:21:28,799 --> 00:21:32,400 regard to sexuality. We'll talk about that. So Jaden Ivy 380 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,920 was thrown off the team and he's facing interacting to 381 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,480 stuff about this. Reacted live on Instagram after this happened. 382 00:21:39,599 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 9: They said, my conduct is detrimental to the team. Right, 383 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,920 Why didn't they just say we don't agree with his 384 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:52,240 stance on LGBTQ. Why didn't they say that? Well, how 385 00:21:52,319 --> 00:21:54,400 is it? How is it conduct detrimental to the team? 386 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 1: What did I do? 387 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:55,559 Speaker 9: To the team. 388 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: What did I do to the players? 389 00:21:58,079 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 9: I did nothing but practice with them, play with them, 390 00:22:01,799 --> 00:22:05,039 pass the ball to them. Good teammates to them said 391 00:22:05,039 --> 00:22:10,240 good job, good shot. I said, I said, uh uh, 392 00:22:10,839 --> 00:22:12,119 good job, good job. 393 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 1: Good past. 394 00:22:12,839 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 9: Way to play bro right. 395 00:22:15,759 --> 00:22:18,079 Speaker 1: I said these things to my teammates. 396 00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 9: Was never detrimental to them. So why is it that 397 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,079 the NBA and the Chicago Bulls say that I'm detrimental 398 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,400 to the team. How because I because I have because 399 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,799 I believe, and the truth, because because I know Jesus 400 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:38,599 is the way, the truth in the life. 401 00:22:40,519 --> 00:22:44,599 Speaker 1: How apparently he was preaching in the locker room. Well, 402 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,240 people preach a lot of things in the locker room. 403 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,960 As a matter of fact, this is a true statement. 404 00:22:48,279 --> 00:22:50,920 If you have any form of persuasion over anyone else, 405 00:22:51,319 --> 00:22:53,920 if you're famous, if you have footprints, if you have respect, 406 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,279 you're making disciples of something in your house. You might 407 00:22:58,319 --> 00:23:01,279 maybe making disciples of golf. Man Dad gloves golf. He 408 00:23:01,319 --> 00:23:03,279 takes his golfing all the time. You might be making 409 00:23:03,279 --> 00:23:08,160 disciples of NBA football or probably the NBA basketball. You 410 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,279 might be making disciples of the sports you like your 411 00:23:10,319 --> 00:23:13,880 kids to play. We're all making disciples of something. So 412 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,039 in this case, he was going about the process of 413 00:23:16,079 --> 00:23:20,000 maybe trying to make disciples. But is the NBA anti Christian? 414 00:23:20,039 --> 00:23:23,799 Well if they fired him for this, Yeah, now, Jesus 415 00:23:23,839 --> 00:23:26,160 did change the laws on sexuality. Maybe this is what 416 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,759 the NBA means because Jesus, being god fully, god fully human, 417 00:23:30,799 --> 00:23:33,000 he has the right to change the laws on sexuality. 418 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,519 And we'll get to how he changed the laws on sexuality. 419 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,200 Maybe Jade and I even he doesn't know that Jesus 420 00:23:38,279 --> 00:23:42,039 changed the law on sexuality because he did. An NBA 421 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,880 player named Daniel Geffert was at a press conference and 422 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,720 he wore a shirt that says faith isn't for the week. 423 00:23:49,799 --> 00:23:52,240 Here's what happens with him And he was asked about 424 00:23:52,279 --> 00:23:52,880 his shirts. 425 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 2: I mean, there's a fast. 426 00:23:54,559 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 1: No, I didn't really even see what it has to 427 00:23:57,759 --> 00:23:59,440 until you just said something about it. 428 00:23:59,519 --> 00:24:01,279 Speaker 9: But I mean, you know, faith isn't for the week 429 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,599 because God gives his tests to the strongest. 430 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: Soldiers most definitely. 431 00:24:06,319 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 6: And you know, I really can't really kind of go 432 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,880 deep into that, you know, with the stuff that's kind 433 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,880 of going on with you know, the IVY situation, I 434 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,359 don't want to, you know, get waved. 435 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 2: With anything, so go keep it at that point. 436 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,799 Speaker 1: So there he is on a set, making a disciple 437 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,839 of Gatoray drinkers and making disciples of Southwestern Medical Center 438 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,359 ut Southwestern Medical Center, making a disciples of basketball fans, 439 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,160 and yet he's talking about Jesus. He very clearly says 440 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,079 he understands No. If I explain this, I'm gonna get 441 00:24:35,079 --> 00:24:38,200 fired too. That would seem to me if you have 442 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,759 a player of his caliber afraid to speak the Lord 443 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,119 Jesus' name or to actually say who Jesus is the Way, 444 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:47,799 the truth, and the life. No one comes to the 445 00:24:47,839 --> 00:24:50,200 Father but through Jesus. It seems to me the NBA 446 00:24:50,319 --> 00:24:53,039 is pretty anti Christian. But maybe the NBA is really 447 00:24:53,039 --> 00:24:56,920 interested in this change Jesus Christ made to sexual rules 448 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:01,039 because he did change them. This this isn't the NBA, 449 00:25:01,079 --> 00:25:03,720 it's NFL football, but it's professional football. This is the 450 00:25:03,759 --> 00:25:08,039 head coach of the Patriots, Mike Vrabel, who incidentally lost 451 00:25:08,039 --> 00:25:09,519 to the Seahawks. And I used to live in sad 452 00:25:09,599 --> 00:25:11,720 and I enjoyed watching that, even though I can't stand 453 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,960 the NFL, which is in fact anti. 454 00:25:13,839 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 10: Christon quoted some Bible versus supporting a Chicago Bulls player 455 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:24,599 who got released. Okay, some comments okay that he made, 456 00:25:24,599 --> 00:25:26,519 and I just what how do you measure the line 457 00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:31,039 between conduct detrimental to the team, which is why the 458 00:25:31,039 --> 00:25:34,000 Bulls released the player in their view, and allowing the 459 00:25:34,039 --> 00:25:37,400 twenty three year old to, you know, express his personal part. 460 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 6: I think there is a fine line. I want to 461 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,440 tell you. I love Trevion. I love the person. 462 00:25:42,599 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 2: There. 463 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 6: He cares deeply about our team, he cares deeply about 464 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:50,799 his faith, he cares deeply about his family, his wife, 465 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,440 the people in our building, and so I want them 466 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,599 to be able to express what they believe in their 467 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,119 heart and in their mind, but also want to make 468 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,160 sure that they're educated. And we want to be inclusive. 469 00:26:06,279 --> 00:26:09,240 We want to everything we want to do wants to 470 00:26:09,279 --> 00:26:13,079 provide an environment for people to one feel comfortable, but 471 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,960 also to share their personal beliefs. And then also we 472 00:26:17,039 --> 00:26:19,279 represent the team, and then we represent the organization. 473 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: Kind of a weak answer, at least he says he 474 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,200 loves the guy wants to maybe express himself, but be inclusive. 475 00:26:24,799 --> 00:26:29,519 Expressing yourself is not inclusive. You're not exclusion people by 476 00:26:29,599 --> 00:26:32,359 expressing yourself. Now, if you're yelling at them and belittling them. 477 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,759 They could feel in fact they're excluded. But that's not 478 00:26:34,799 --> 00:26:38,880 what this Trevion did. He posted this to social media. 479 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,839 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for 480 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,319 theirs is the kingdom of heaven. He's quoting Matthew five, 481 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:49,000 verse ten. So regard to the NBA, a guy named 482 00:26:49,039 --> 00:26:52,680 Steve Kerr can go on and make some pretty interesting 483 00:26:52,759 --> 00:26:56,359 claims and accusations and he gets to keep his job. 484 00:26:56,839 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 7: You're recognized in her life and the tragic nature of 485 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:02,519 her death. 486 00:27:02,599 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 1: We're talking about Renee Good. The tragic nature of her death, 487 00:27:05,079 --> 00:27:08,640 certainly tragic. Young women put herself in a position to 488 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,920 try to interrupt law enforcement, caring about the duty. That 489 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:11,799 was certainly tragic. 490 00:27:11,839 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 7: Steve Caerr continues, it's shameful, really that in our country 491 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,359 we can have law enforcement officers who commit murder and 492 00:27:24,039 --> 00:27:25,559 seemingly get away with it. 493 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: So that's his assessment. They committed murder by the virtue 494 00:27:29,279 --> 00:27:32,440 of defending themselves from being run over with a vehicle. 495 00:27:33,599 --> 00:27:38,240 They're supposed to just get run over. He's fine, But 496 00:27:38,319 --> 00:27:41,640 a guy who posts Bible verses, a guy who says, yeah, 497 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:46,440 I'm not going to celebrate Pride month decade century. Because 498 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,319 pride is an emotion in humans that God abhors. Because 499 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,359 about what are we proud? We didn't create anything. God 500 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:58,319 gave us everything. We're managers. We're stewards. Some of us 501 00:27:58,319 --> 00:28:00,799 aren't even to that level yet, we're not even yet. 502 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:05,359 Night managers were users and users of all the blessings 503 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,519 of God. We don't even steward them, says the NBA. 504 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,160 Anti Christian sure looks like it. Maybe they're anti fear. 505 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,480 Maybe they're afraid of via LGBQ so called t mafia. 506 00:28:18,519 --> 00:28:21,480 Maybe they're afraid of that. Maybe they're leaning on the 507 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,960 fact that Jesus Christ changed the sexual rules. Because he 508 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:30,119 did this is uncomfortable, But Jesus Christ himself changed the 509 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,680 sexual rules. He said, you've heard it said you shall 510 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:40,200 not commit adultery, But I tell you, a man who 511 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,319 looks at a woman with lust in his eyes has 512 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:47,960 already committed adultery. You can take that same principle. You've 513 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,400 heard it said you shall not commit same sex acts. 514 00:28:52,519 --> 00:28:56,359 But I tell you, a man who looks at another man, 515 00:28:56,519 --> 00:28:59,319 or a woman at another woman with lust in their 516 00:28:59,359 --> 00:29:03,839 eyes has already committed the sin of same sex activity. 517 00:29:04,279 --> 00:29:07,960 Jesus Christ did change the rules for human sexuality. He 518 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:12,359 raised the bar. This is the Todd Hermann Shaw. Please go, 519 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,279 be well, be strong, be kind, and please make every 520 00:29:15,279 --> 00:29:17,200 effort to walk in the life of Christ.
