Speaker 1: We got to be honest. President Trump is doing some
great things, undoing a lot of the evil that was
done through the figureheads. And I am not at all
wild about the AI meeting. And then Zach Abraham just
told me something about meme coins. Please please, let's be
honest people, Let's be consistent people, Let's be wide eyed.
Speaker 2: Meme coins from the Trump family.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about this with the help of Zach Abraham,
my friend, the brother, chief investment officer of Bullet Capital Management.
And we'll do this only through the good grace of
God Almighty.
Speaker 3: But Todd Herman show is one hundred percent disapproved by
big pharmer technocrats and tyrant's everywhere from the hind mountains
of Free America. Here's the Emerald City exime. Todd to
her Man.
Speaker 1: Today is a day the Lord has made, and these
are the times through which God has decided we shall live.
Zach Cabraham joins me, Chief Investment Officer, Bulwark Capital Management.
Speaker 2: Zach, welcome back to the program.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 2: Good to have you, good to be back.
Speaker 5: Good to be back.
Speaker 1: So, just as I was getting all jazzed some things
that Trump administration is doing, can we start with some
of This is just shock and awe to the Democrats.
I mean, I'm not a big fan of governing through
executive order, but this is undoing what has been done
and the poison that's been done by the Biden administration.
Speaker 2: So what are you thinking of all that?
Speaker 6: I love it, and it's you know, I think we
all wish that that. You know, I'd be in favor
of virtually no legislation or anything getting done via executive order, right,
I mean, technically legislation can't, but you know, the way
they've worked executive.
Speaker 5: Orders, yeah, right close.
Speaker 6: But but that's the game, right like, so, uh, you know,
I mean that's that's what Biden did. You got to answer, serve.
I love what they've done. I love the stuff, the
approaches they've taken already. I yeah, I mean, no complaints.
He's hitting he's hitting the ground running like I think
we all thought he would. And you know, yeah, man,
so far, so good. I love it, And uh, I
also love I also it feels much It feels much
more calm and less vitriolic than it did last time.
Speaker 5: It just seems much more just down to business. And
I like it. I like it.
Speaker 6: I there seems to be I I mean, call me crazy,
but this feels to me like the broadest coalition I
think we've seen in a really long time, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 1: Oh, there's no doubt this isn't a conservative party anymore.
It's a very broad coalition. As you're saying, yeah, I mean,
he the auto manufacturer, the union's death thrilled. Uh and
Trump kept promises to them. There's people in energy.
Speaker 2: Who are thrilled.
Speaker 1: You know, real actual law enforcement people with the FBI,
they're thrilled. You know that he's bringing in law and
order to this. I mean, there's a lot of people,
and obviously there's people who are terrified. I mean, I'm
telling you because I'm experiencing with family members, people who
have same sex attracted kids. A lot of them actually
believe that federal troops are coming to the schools to
grab the kids and take them out, that they're not
allowed to go to schools anymore. And I mean because
I have loved ones who feel this way. I mean,
it's terrible and it's terrifying for them. So but that's
not gonna happen. So that's going to be shown that
that's not going to happen. But you raised something to
me I was unaware of, and I want you to
explain this in just a second. It's called meme coins.
A lot of people know what that means, but the
Trump family is launching meme coins. Yeah, okay, give me
a second because I want to I want to relax
for seconds and get ready to receive criticism and hatred
because a lot of people in the podcast family don't
criticize my boy. So let's take a break for a second.
Let's think about another form of a scam. Here's the
way the scam goes. This is the scam is you
go in for back surgery. One time, you get the
back surgery and you're good, and then the doctor's like
you're good, and then you go I'm good, and then it's.
Speaker 2: A little further up your back. Well it's just one
more surgery, Okay, Well then I'm good.
Speaker 5: Yep.
Speaker 1: Then you're good, and then you go back and it
happens with hips, it happens with knees. And I'm not
saying that orthopedic surgeons do this on purpose. Most of
them don't. They simply don't want to recognize it doesn't
have to be this way. Your body is able to
heal itself much quicker, much more, much better.
Speaker 2: When you're younger, you grow muscle.
Speaker 1: When you're younger, you repair torn muscle fibers, which is
why you can put on muscles so much better when
you're eighteen, because your stem cells ain't shot. When you're older,
your stem cells are old. So you can go to
Mexico five days or so at Portavarre, to a very
beautiful place and on resort five minutes if that, from
the actual clinic. They'll give you stem cells up to
forty two million of them that come only from placenta's
and umbilical cords.
Speaker 2: Instantly, they go through.
Speaker 1: An attack information and they are rebuilding superstars, muscle, tendon, cartilage.
Speaker 2: It just rebuilds it. And I am witnessed to this
two times.
Speaker 1: And I'm going back A because I like it down there,
B because I want my lowre back. Taking care of
it doesn't have to be farmer or surgery. So just
get in touch with them. Go to renew dot Healthcare.
It's r e n ue dot Healthcare. Please tell them
you're part of the Todd Hermanshaw family. They'll tell you
if they can help you or not. It's renew and
you e dot healthcare, so zach the mean coins. This
isn't Baron. I see Baron's doing luxury luxury apartments and
condos and threatening Biden. Did you see him? Did you
see him square up to Biden? No, Baron's eleven and
a half feet tall, and so Biden's.
Speaker 2: Given him, young man, let me sniff your neck.
Speaker 1: And you can't really tell what Baron says, but Biden's
got the fake you know, cap grin, the politician handshake.
That it's called the human touch. Or no, they call
it the human thing. That's what they call it, the
human thing. And Biden leans and and Baron leans in
and says something and the figurehead goes blankly gulp. And
I'm imagining Baron goudn. I watched you try to destroy
my entire family. I'm coming for yours.
Speaker 2: I'd love it. I'd love it right, Right.
Speaker 5: I got a unique set of skills.
Speaker 1: Right, And guess what, they're not technically illegal in this country.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 2: It has to do with how I bland money.
Speaker 6: Well, and thanks to the precedent you said, whatever I
do to you, Pops is just gonna pardon me.
Speaker 5: At the end of the four.
Speaker 2: Years or maybe emptively, right, just we'll try that.
Speaker 1: You can go do a mass pardon of crimes that
haven't been tried, we know.
Speaker 2: Actually it says that they can't do premptive pardon.
Speaker 6: So let's he did, so how does that play? But
he did, he effectively did do a preemptive pardon, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's but that's not how they look at because
it's he's referencing past events, so crimes known and unknown
past events. So the Constitution's prohibitive, I think on saying,
you can't say I pardoned this guy from many crimes
he's going to commit, right, such as shooting one of my.
Speaker 2: Political rivals, right, just for instance.
Speaker 1: So the Trump family they're doing meme coins? Who in
the Trump family is doing meme coins?
Speaker 5: And let me just and let me just say one thing.
Speaker 6: Really, yeah, guys, there, I was just as excited as
all of you, probably more so in a lot of ways,
just because in a lot of ways I had I
had personal I mean, we all had skin writing in
the selection, but due to the issues, you know, due
to some of the comments Trump's made about the SEC,
I've got personal skin in the game, yep.
Speaker 5: And so I'm cheering form. Just this isn't.
Speaker 6: The reason I think that this is important to talk about,
Todd is because it's what differentiates us from the people
on the left. Yes, meaning we will hold our own
side accountable and we will ask the hard questions that
we don't want to ask, right, And if we quit
doing that, then we're just like them.
Speaker 2: Right. I do not want to turn into those people.
Speaker 6: Nope, can't do it. And more importantly, we all need to.
I think we need to embrace we can hold accountable
while supporting and cheering on right we can't, right, And
I think it's incumbent on us to do that. I really,
I think that we all need to take that type
of level of responsibility. But so this is not me
dogging on Trump. Just this is concerning to me. Now
there isn't enough data out so I think it's also
important that we don't don't jump to conclusions about this.
Speaker 5: But it doesn't look good from the outset.
Speaker 6: So they have launched They've launched the Millennia coin already.
The word on the street is is they're planning to
do a meme coin for every member of the family.
Speaker 2: Who's the They though, which which Trump family members? Do
you know.
Speaker 5: I believe what I have heard is all of the kids.
Speaker 6: So the kids Trump and Milanga, okay, and and guys,
here's the problem with it. Okay, those there's the majority
of the crypto space. Now I use the word majority
on purpose. I didn't say ninety percent. But the majority
of the crypto space is complete grift.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 6: It is pump and dump grift, griftgrift. And I'm concerned
on a couple levels. A. If you got forty, if
you're worth four billion dollars, what do you need to
make a couple million off or you know, ten million
or twenty million.
Speaker 5: Off of a meme coin? A. B. We have so much.
Speaker 6: Bigger issues to deal with. See, here's what's really concerning that.
I think we actually need to pass some rules against
when a politician were to launch a mean coin for himself,
like the Millennia coin, okay, or let's put the.
Speaker 5: Hunter Biden coin. Okay, it's called the Hunter Biden coin.
Speaker 6: Corruption gets way easier at that point, right, it goes
in it's a mean coin, not a lot of volume.
Speaker 5: Somebody could go in there and.
Speaker 6: Splash a five hundred dollars a five hundred million dollar bid, right,
and provide the exit liquidity for that person to exit
and cash out big, and it.
Speaker 5: Would be completely You couldn't. You couldn't.
Speaker 6: It'd be an open market transaction. So you couldn't enforce it, right, Like,
you couldn't sit there and say it's bribery. But of
course it is, and we we need to And I
am not saying that that is the Trump family's intention.
I don't believe it is. But what I'm saying is
we need to take a look at this this thing.
Speaker 5: We got to shut this down. You can't.
Speaker 6: We cannot have elected officials being able to launch mean coins.
Speaker 5: That is a corruption nightmare, right.
Speaker 1: It takes the insider trading thing, and it almost cuts
out a middleman. Wait, I don't have to pay a
fiduciary or a broker, I don't have to pay a commission,
I don't have to pay any points.
Speaker 5: And it's an open market transaction, right, So they can't.
You can't.
Speaker 6: There's nothing you couldn't. You can't enforce it. I mean,
you can't sit there and throw them in jail for it.
Speaker 1: And this is coming at a time where they're discussing
at the Treasury level. And I know you like this
guy that's President Trump is nominated to run the Treasury.
They're talking about a strategic reserve of bitcoin that the
United States government would go out and purchase a massive
amount to bitcoin as a strategic reserve. So now you
are goosing and fluffing. Not that it needs fluffing. Bitcoin's
done well, but now you're blowing up the is it
that marketplace, or at least the value of that marketplace
ends you're coming along with meme coins.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just not a good look. It's not a
good look.
Speaker 6: And like I said, I don't think that there's intentionality
behind it. My bet, my bet from the outside looking
in is that the Trump family. You know, they're real
estate folks, right, So I don't think their view of
crypto is probably the same as mine or somebody that
looks at it all the time. I think they probably
see the potential the innovation involved, and I think people
around them that know more about crypto probably said, Hey,
in an effort to help us get more you know,
notoriety to what this wonderful freedom of money is, you
know all that kind of stuff, help us bring more.
Speaker 5: Notoriety to it.
Speaker 6: We're going to launch mean coins for you right, and
I would bet you that's probably how we got there. Regardless.
What I'm saying is it is a very bad look.
And it freaked me out when I saw it because
I hadn't thought about this until I saw that and went,
uh oh, we got to address this. Nobody in elected
office should be able to do that. Nobody in elected
office should be able to ipo a publicly traded stock
for that matter.
Speaker 2: Totally, totally great.
Speaker 1: I mean they need to be hands off on that
or or this. When they decide to place the trade,
we get twenty four hours notice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, right, okay, cool.
Speaker 1: Well just tell you twenty four hours ahead of time,
then we can follow you and then just do inside information.
Speaker 5: God, that's such a good point, man.
Speaker 6: I've got so many clients that work for places like
Microsoft and Boeing, and it is it is insane to
me that my clients who are not directors, they're not
on the board, right, they're not in the c suite. Okay,
their rules around trading that company's stock are infinitely more
strict than what it would be for a senator.
Speaker 5: And that is mind blowing.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: I made the mistake of being on an M and
a team we were in. I was on an M
and A team for Microsoft, and I got brought in
on this.
Speaker 5: Oh, you had to probably take blood tests. Every time.
Speaker 1: I got the scariest email, microsoft Legal must open Action required.
Speaker 2: And I'm looking at that, going, oh wow, that's a
little scary.
Speaker 1: I'll open that the second and like five minutes later
I gets a call. Hi, this is Kathy with Microsoft Legal,
just making sure that you received our notice action required.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was gonna open that in a bit when I
could open it. Now click and I'm reading it. She goes, Okay,
I seen you've opened it.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: And it was you can't trade, Yeah, you can't buy,
you can't sell, and for your convenience, we've locked down
your four one K through Fidelity for your convenience, so
you don't have to.
Speaker 5: And how and how insane is that?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 6: That is the that's the that's what you have to
go through, right, And you've got a senator that's in
meetings with the and none of those restrictions apply.
Speaker 5: It's just it's just that it.
Speaker 1: Is insane, right, And so I agree with you fully
and completely on the on the mean coin thing. Instantly,
while we're talking about coins. What whatever came of this,
this outage that Capital One had.
Speaker 2: Did you read about.
Speaker 1: This a bunch of depositors, like I'd actually like to
have access to my paycheck?
Speaker 5: Yeah I did. I heard about it briefly, but I.
Speaker 2: Didn't that be a bigger deal?
Speaker 1: Shouldn't that actually be something we want to know about, Like, yeah,
i'd I'd like to know why one of the biggest
financial organizations in the country was having.
Speaker 2: To say the depositors.
Speaker 1: So we're horribly sorry we are not able to allow
you to pay your bills or feed your kids. And
I know you've got that house closing coming up, but
just unfortunately, due to circumstances, been our control. Uh, And
we apologize for anyone who feels hurt by this, and
our intention is.
Speaker 2: To do better later, right, I mean, they shouldn't get
away with that.
Speaker 1: So before we get out of the because we need
to talk about this AI meeting, and Larry Ellison would
very much like to insert his code into you. Yeah
that I know a lot of people excited about that.
We need to talk about a couple of different things,
and then we need to talk energy because dude, President
Trump looks like he's going to kill it on energy.
Speaker 2: But there are some risks.
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about this with Zach Abraham, Chief Investments
for Vote Capitoiage. And if you, Alex is my witness,
did you happen to notice it? When I came in here,
I set some tap some pills down on my motorcycle desk. Okay,
say that loud, yes, okay, So you're my witness.
Speaker 2: That's here's what that was.
Speaker 1: That was P three to h M and that was
mass seems from biopsimizers.
Speaker 2: Why did I do that?
Speaker 1: Because today I've had a lot of supplements, and so
I will double down on that because I remain more regular.
Plus it allows me to get more out of the
protein I eat. Okay, So that's why I take the
things in conjunction. This is all by way of saying
I don't make stuff up here. I use these products. Tonight,
when I'm coming back from life group, God willing, I
will have my toothbrush in the car and my toothpaste,
which endlessly annoys my wife. But I have to be
up at four o'clock in the morning. Life group is late,
and just before I brush my teeth, I will take
MAGNESI and breakthrough while you're driving. Yes, because it's not
a sleeping pill. It relaxes you. I always feel warm,
a sense of relaxation, and that helps me fall into sleep.
And falling into sleep and staying asleep is one of
the greatest pleasures God ever gave us. If it's been

Speaker 2: So, Zach, I'm on the topic of our economy.
Speaker 1: I know you like this guy, Treasury Secretary nominee Scott Bessont.
He had a face off with Ron Wyden and let's
watch this together, Senator Widen during the confirmation hearings talking
about something that's allegedly called green energy.
Speaker 4: Let's watch now, there is a big effort in the
Trump administration to reverse it. I think that's going to
be bad for the economy, but it is going to
be damn good for China because we are in an
arms race and clean energy with him, are you going
to be on the side of people who want to unravel.
Speaker 7: This, Senator the Senator widen Just so we can frame
this for everyone in the room, China will build a
hundred new coal plants this year. There is not a
clean energy race. There is an energy race. China will
build ten nuclear plants this year. That is not solar.
I am in favor of more nuclear plants, and I
would note that the IRA, as scored by the CBO,
is wildly out of control in terms of spending on
the upside.
Speaker 1: So what I love about that is is that widen
Men is a decent guy on like the medical charity state,
and he's a decent dude, not a terrible, horrible dinner,
but he's he's doing the talking points. We're in an
arms race and energy race for clean energy, and I
like Bessett, Like, no, China's not in that race. They're
building coal plants and nuclear plants. He just just nails him.
Is this way you like this guy?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I like him.
Speaker 6: And here's the other reason why I like him is
that in terms of at least in my experience. I'd
have to go back and really look at it. But
from my recollection, we haven't had a Treasury secretary that
was this much of a practitioner some of the greatest
investment minds in history the way this guy has been.
Speaker 5: And obviously that's going to be more important to me
because of what I do for a living.
Speaker 6: But I also think it's getting increasingly important for the
world because we have a more like, whether you like
it or not, we've got a more financialized system than
we ever have before. And so often, and you and
I have talked about this at great length. There's so
many things in the world of finance and economics that
are taught and believed in books and yet laughed at
in the world of practitioners, right, And there have been
so many times, you know, I think, for instance, if
you look at look at the decision to cut rates
the way that they did, the way that they have
and when they started cutting rates, both me and my
head of research, look who, we don't have anywhere near
the backgrounds, pedigrees, educational backgrounds.
Speaker 5: Of any of the people on the FED.
Speaker 6: Right, But why is it that we were right saying
that we believe they were cutting too early and risk
inflation normalizing at a higher level or even increasing. And
it has actually increased since they started this, right, well,
not the whole cutting cycle, but but yeah, and why
is it that we were right, Well, because we're looking
not because we're smarter.
Speaker 5: They probably have higher IQs.
Speaker 6: It's because we're looking at it through the lens of practitioners, right,
and they're not, and they're following their model.
Speaker 5: It's just it. Bessent knows full well that models can
be helpful.
Speaker 6: If you rely on him, you're dead. He has to
He worked at Soros Fund Management. He worked now people
will be like he worked at Sorrow. There's a lot
of great traders that have gone through Soros because whether
or not you agreed with his politics, he's one of
the best to ever do it.
Speaker 5: Now maybe he has never do it. Accessing the dark arts.
Speaker 2: Well, he's you know, a demon right right right, So
I'm not.
Speaker 5: Look, I'm not and I'm not. I wouldn't accept a
job there.
Speaker 6: I will that Soros was not nearly seen when Drunken
Miller and Vescente worked for him.
Speaker 5: He was not the political activist that he is today.
Speaker 2: No, he was just a guy who cooperated with the Nazis.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, he's an No, there's no don't even keep
smearing the mascara on the swine.
Speaker 5: Yeah no, no, I'm not okay.
Speaker 6: But my point is, my point is on the flip side.
He's worked with Jim Chenos, He's worked at Brown Brothers Harriman,
He's worked with Jim Rogers, He's worked with Stanley Druckenmiller.
I mean these, he is a practitioner. He is going
to give us a significant advantage in terms of other
Treasury secretaries. And then also I think, you know, dealing
with international uh, you know.
Speaker 5: Economic issues.
Speaker 6: I just I think it is huge to have a
guy he's got all of the knowledge that that that
you know that Yellen had. He just has a whole
nother suite. Oh wait, but Yellen, I'm just wanting pure
academic right.
Speaker 1: No, here's the thing that here, let me describe Yellen
to you. She is she has all all sorts of
knowledge that has inbred itself in her brain and the
circle of five people she surrounds yourself for her entire
career has inbred and it's self amplified and self passed
back and forth through them until it's like a fifteenth
generation of an inbred, cloistered way of thinking. That is
the absolute bubble filled with pus in her heads.
Speaker 5: I mean, I think you're being a little too kind.
Speaker 6: I but no, no, yeah, I mean so my whole
point is people are like, well, does you know? Like, yes, guys,
all you have to do is pick up an econ book.
These people are not dynamic. All they're doing is just
regurgitating information they were force fed in college.
Speaker 1: This is what I liked about this conversation with Widen,
Is I see Best? He's kind yeah, like, no, it's
not a current energy race.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you and I, you and you and I
have had this conversation many times on the energy subject.
Speaker 5: And this is what, you know.
Speaker 6: All the things that excite me is you've got so
many more guys like Best and being plugged in here
right what his comment that he made?
Speaker 5: And I struggle with this all the time.
Speaker 6: And you and I've had these conversations, like I said previously,
where you go. Look, I don't disagree with what you're
I don't disagree with you. You're just you're not right right,
Like we're at a green energy rate. You think China
tears like they don't tear it all.
Speaker 1: Just imagine the Chinese. You know, they've got their death camps.
They're the ethnic minorities and they're they're they're selling their organs.
And I'm just imagining these death camps. You know, you're
a weaker woman. You've had your hair shorn like a
sheep fifteen different times. Now someone wants your kidney. They
put a bid on the left kidney, and now you've
done your right kidney and now they want the right kidney.
Speaker 2: So you're gonna die.
Speaker 1: And they take into the room and they're getting ready
to kill you and take your kidney and for your
body at a fire and the Chinese hinna comes is
hold it you use winnis.
Speaker 5: Yeah, good green energy?
Speaker 2: Where is the natural cleaner?
Speaker 1: And you're like, you're you're you're the weaker woman going
you gets your hooked out.
Speaker 2: No, they don't care. They are I've told the story
of the show.
Speaker 1: They when they pretend to recycle computers, they give them
to townspeople who break them open on rocks and take
out the precious metals and get a rake on that.
And then downstream there's little kids bathing and swimming and
mom's taking the water.
Speaker 2: Out to cook the soup.
Speaker 1: You think they give a flying leap of a rip.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we just live in an odd time where especially
the people on the left, they just believe all of
these things.
Speaker 5: That this dark darn true.
Speaker 6: We're in a green energy and if you say that
around them, they're like, yes we are, Yes, we are.
You look at them and go, guys, fifty year olds
are non smokers are dying in Shanghai from lung cancer.
Speaker 5: It is so polluted.
Speaker 2: Yep, what race are you taught?
Speaker 6: China cares about one thing, China, that's it, and and
whatever cost that comes at, they don't care.
Speaker 5: Yes, hey, when somebody tells you who you are, believe
them right.
Speaker 6: These people are they're suicidal, man like you just look
at him and go okay. But we're in a green
energy race with China. It's like, are we in a
human rights race with Syria?
Speaker 2: What were you talking about?
Speaker 1: I was in a I was at a wrestling a
clinic back and then, well I've told the story about
the Iowa wrestling clinic and some kids said to me,
because we were we had this opportunity to go, you know,
one on one with with guys who'd won college championships and.
Speaker 2: You know, head of the Olympics.
Speaker 1: And he said, and this guy was the guy's gonna
go at was he taught double leg takedowns. He was
the guy that coaches always turned to to have Scott
come out and teach the double leg takedowns.
Speaker 2: So this guy says to me, you know what I'm
gonna do.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna shoot in on him, to shoot a double
in on him. Yep, why because you won't expect it. Yeah,
no one's gonna shoot a double on him, like single
outside ankle pick, upper body throw. There's a ton of
things you can do. You're gonna use his expert move. Yeah,
And here's my response, you should do that. You should
you should go do that. So he goes out and
does that. Can you guess how that ended?
Speaker 2: Like I will, but I'll tell you the point. I'd
see that, Jim, I've lost you, but I'll give you
the point here.
Speaker 1: It ended with Scott laughing, sprawling, turning the guy and
pinning him in.
Speaker 2: One of the most painful possible ways in the world. China.
Speaker 1: They're looking at this guy widen saying we're in a
clean energy race.
Speaker 2: We need to catch up. We need to go all
in and wind bills and just look at him, going,
you should do that. That's a good idea.
Speaker 5: Ron love it. Meanwhile, meanwhile, can we buy some more oil?
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly.
Speaker 6: It's just it's we were just talking about this earlier
this morning in the office, and it really is a
you know, like for instance, yesterday when that quote unquote
Bishop is giving the you know, eulogy or whatever. Uh,
she's like, transgender and gay and lesbian children all around
the around this country are fearing for their lives and
you look at her and go, uh, why why.
Speaker 1: Well, because they've been told a fit for the lives
by the mockingbird media. I have family members I love
dearly and they're terrified, and I am. I'm looking in
the eye and I'm telling you, I have family members
who are smarter than you and I combined, who believe
that there are shock troops headed to colleges that receive
federal funding, and they're going to come in and say,
V have your instagrams zoo you mean contracted and you're done?
Speaker 5: You mean, just like they did from twenty sixteen to
twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Right, Well, but he's a new man. I mean, so okay, right,
I know it never happens, but you can't age it's
one thing on oil. The other thing that you the
guy you seem to like this Scott Best, neet a Best,
And he made this other point when he was talking
to Widen. Iran was down to one hundred thousand barrels
of oil exports when President Trump left office. They're now
exporting one point seven million. We can make the ira
genium the Iranian regime broke again at the same time
increase our domestic production, highest energy standards in the world.
If that happens, if we go all in on this
for four years, I have to imagine that the after
effect on increasing oil supply, oil exports here all of
a sudden, Does am I wrong?
Speaker 2: Or does the nature of real.
Speaker 1: Backed in secured capital change significantly in this country? This
construction change, the house prices changed. Is there anything that's
not benefited it doesn't get the benefit of an oil.
Speaker 2: Move like that?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 6: No, I mean, and oil is one of those you know,
it's we've talked about this before too, which is oil
is one of those things that like it is an
economic indicator.
Speaker 5: And uh, I mean it goes into everything, right, So yeah,
it it benefits us.
Speaker 6: And the other part of it too, is just it's
just a projection of power, right, meaning bottom line is
the higher percentage of global oil production your country produces,
you know, the more the more power you got, right,
and the more projection of path you know what I mean,
just because everybody needs it and not everybody has it,
and no, it's it's yeah, and that's it's a weird
place where we are in this country, where you're like,
there's so many easy things we can do to improve
things so quickly. The biggest obstacle we have are fantasies,
you know, made up, made up, made up stories and
and you know, I think to a large degree the
whole climate thing in general is one of them.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of that, you got to hear this. This
is from the UK Guardian. I think it's a Guardian
UK households with a fireplace face one thousand pound finds
this winter house households with fireplaces could be handed a
fine for having.
Speaker 2: A fireplace at all.
Speaker 1: They're to fill them up, they're supposed to brick them
over because God knows, you're always going to have access
to other forms of heat. You'll never need to burn
a log to keep your family alife. That doesn't happen anymore,
I know, I know.
Speaker 6: Well, and not only that, but quite honestly, I'm not
saying it's like, but technically speaking, if you're comparing it, like,
if you want to take a hard line environmental stance,
you should probably like firewood more than you like any
else because every piece of wood on this planet is
going to is going to rot and emit its carbon
that it contains inside of it back into the atmosphere.
Speaker 5: So you might be speeding it up a little bit.
Speaker 6: But like you know, whereas if we're pulling oil and
that gas from the ground, that was never going to
end up in the atmosphere.
Speaker 5: Right right, So you want me to use that gas
instead of.
Speaker 1: Wood, Well no, now they want to ban that gas.
The figurehead didn't know he banned it. Did you know
that he didn't know that he paused it? Oh, he
had literally no idea?
Speaker 5: Did he pause?
Speaker 2: What the exports of liquid natural gas?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Speaker Johnson finally told us that one other thing I
want to touch on in terms of energy, then you
have got to talk about this AI thing. It has
to do with, oh, do you think you would want
to allow Let's say, let's see you had a neighborhood's
uh pedophile, and he said to you, Hey, can I
have a key to your house so when you're gone,
if there's a I can come in and you know, like,
let's let's say I hear your cat stuck in a
room and I don't want it to pooh, how about
a backdoor access to your house? Well, i'll tell you
why I'm saying that in just a brief second here, Hey,
will you say a prayer police for our friends at
Alan Soaps? And I'll tell you why, because they're down
in CALIFORNIAA and it's burning again. And I tried to
talk John Leave into leaving come up to the high
mountains of North America. He can't because his kids are
locked in down there with support, his mom, everybody down there.
And I want you to say this prayer for them
to be safe in these fires. And I want to
stop with that today. Let's just say that the soap
company it's there. You should use the soap.
Speaker 2: If you don't, you're a stink in communist.
Speaker 1: But I just want to stop and just I don't
want to politicize the thing, honestly, because it's a tragedy
and you know, it's not like I'm going to sit
here and say if you don't buy Allen's you know
you love Nancy Pelosi far better than your country and
because that what you're known.
Speaker 2: So I'm not going to politicize it.
Speaker 1: We'll just we'll just pray for them today at Alan
SOPs dot com slash Todd Zach, this is a This
guy's name is Tommy Walter and he's a former Force
recon Marine. Incidentally, if you ever offered the opportunity to,
let's say, go into the woods and fight a Force
recon marine, maybe don't like and they might do the
same where they give you a three day head start.
Speaker 5: It's not enough.
Speaker 6: Enough. The Force recon Marines are really interesting individuals because
most people don't realize who they are.
Speaker 5: These guys are just as bad as any Navy seal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, these are bad mothers, right, and maybe don't challenge
him to things new right?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 1: So he was talking about a transformer that came into
our country. Watch this and listen to this, and thank
you to Wall Street Apes for pointing this out to me.
Speaker 8: The summer of twenty nineteen, a massive transformer was seized
at the por to Houston by the US federal government
and the Department of Energy put under federal escort to
Sandia National Laboratory. As during the Trump administration, when we
were serious about these things, why why was that transformer seies?
Why was it brought to San Diem? Came from China,
came from China. What did they find in it? Officially
we don't know. That report is still classified. But one
of the Trump administration officials that worked at the National
Security Council, Latham Sadler, he discussed on an interview how
they had found a hardware backdoor in this transformer that
would allow someone to remotely switch it off. That was
twenty nineteen. May first, twenty twenty, President Trump passed an
executive order called Securing the Bault Power System. President Trump
declared a grid security emergency. At the time, our nonprofit
was tracking the numbers these things. He's Chinese transformers. There's
about three hundred and the grid. That executive order was
meant to address that threat. On the very first day
of the Biden administration, that executive order was suspended and
the floodgates were reopened to the importation of Chinese transformers.
We pulled the numbers two weeks ago, four hundred and
ninety two.
Speaker 1: So to boil this down, I mean, just to repeat
what we just saw. They seize a transformer that came
into America federal government's Department of Energy, and they find
hardware a backdoor into the transformer that would allow someone
to remotely switch it off. So President Trump leaps into
action twenty twenty. He secures our energy system says it's
at risk. Obviously, the backbone of energy systems at risk.
On day one, the people who run the figureheads either
sign something on his behalf because he doesn't know what
he's signing, or he signed something and they probably told
him this is to get Hunter the help he needs,
because he's the kindest, wisest man we've ever known. Someone
explained this to me in a way that doesn't involve
people being either compromised or paid.
Speaker 2: You got nothing, Yeah, no, yeah, we prefer.
Speaker 1: To have the Chinese Communist Party be able to turn
off our electrical game whenever they want.
Speaker 2: Incidentally, there are Lenovo laptops.
Speaker 6: Well and to go to go to go for what
you're saying this is and and and Trump's been pounding
on this and again, there's just you. You can't no
rational person can argue at this point. Those transformers, which
we're talking about, the big dogs, right, so people, I
think people are thinking the ones that are up on
the powerpot.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, talk about those big ones. Right.
Speaker 6: We don't even manufacture those in the United States period anymore.
Speaker 5: Right, we know that our grid is one of the
most exposed.
Speaker 6: We don't even manufacture them here. We don't have an
option to buy them here.
Speaker 5: Okay, you think about that.
Speaker 6: That's just insanity, right, Uh, I know, and we all
know that our grid is like the most exposed vulnerable.
Speaker 5: Thing, right.
Speaker 1: And yeah, there's nothing else to add to this. It's
not energy, but it's very related to the economy. I
saw a ton of people so jazz about operations stargate,
and so it has to be named after a sci
fi thing. I get President Trump's zeal for bringing in
business people. They're better they they're used to working in
a world of accountability, but they're entering a world of
no accountability. There's no accountability in government.
Speaker 2: Now, doge in.
Speaker 1: That's you know, Elon Musk is going out and going
to trim down government. They got to vivid Grahmaswami out
of the way.
Speaker 2: Praise God. He's gonna go run for governor. I think
that guy is a total grifter, so he's not gonna.
Speaker 1: Be on doge Elon. Smart Man moved him out of
the way. So that's one thing. But this AI Council,
there's a personality involved in this that isn't quite the
Sam Bankman Freed level dude.
Speaker 2: But who's this guy?
Speaker 1: The the open AI guy Sam Sam Altman. Can we
once again kind of explain this because I'm deeply disturbed
that this guy's involved in this because he has a
profit of for profit nonprofits. That's it not for profits,
but it's a for profits and it doesn't it doesn't
report its revenues, and yet it's it's the value of
the company is a good jillion dollars, but it's not
because it's a nonprofit.
Speaker 2: Did I nail that?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 6: And and Musk has been pretty vocal about the criticisms too.
Here's the other thing on a personal level, And man,
I hate to bring this up because I don't think
people are careful enough about this, but they're just some
very concerning stories around Altman and his family as well.
There are He's got a sister who, multiple times written
and spoken, has accused him of sexually abusing.
Speaker 5: Her repeatedly as she lord God.
Speaker 6: The family, including the parents, have said that she suffers
from mental illness, and I I've I've dealt with mental
illness in my family as if we Yeah, that wouldn't
surprise me at all to see a to see you know,
a non uh an accusation that that had no merit
to it. At the same time, she's been pretty vociferous
about her claims, and I let me just put it
this way. I just think that there's a lot to
be concerned around the guy. And when I see Sam,
when I see Trump standing next to Altman, the one
thing I will say is Trump. You know, Trump's got
access to people and data and information on Alman.
Speaker 5: That you know, I don't.
Speaker 2: So that's good fun.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna trust his read on it.
Speaker 1: Plus the intelligence services would never set him up with
that information.
Speaker 5: Oh no, way, right, No, he.
Speaker 2: Better have his own people vetting people.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, And I just, uh, let's put it.
Speaker 6: There's just there's enough around Altman to not trust him.
Speaker 2: Well, it's by by not trust.
Speaker 6: I don't mean knowing he's evil, But I truly the
definition of I.
Speaker 1: Don't know when I heard this guy say I'm not
making any money in this effectively say that.
Speaker 6: And he owns two five million dollar cars, Yeah, something
like that.
Speaker 1: Right, And I'm not doing this for the money and
I don't really make any money out of it. And
that profit nonprofit partnership thing that they set up the foundation,
I'm sorry, that's scam ville. But I'll tell you the
one that really gave me nightmares is seeing Larry Ellison,
who Oracle. People don't get this, Like, you don't hear
about Oracle a lot, no one. You don't go talk
to your friends and say I'm getting an Oracle phone.
I mean, Oracle for a while tried to make a
couple of consumer products. It didn't work, and so they
went back to what they're really really good at, databases,
crunching data and at rates and at volume that no
one can do.
Speaker 2: He is so tied in.
Speaker 1: To the intelligence services that there are people who consider
Oracle to be a second CIA or a second NSC.
And I'm talking about operators who consider that. Yeah, so
to have him say, you're going to come into a
medical center and we're going to do a in and
find out you got the cancer real bad, and then
we're gonna have our AI design a MR and a
cure for you in forty eight hours. No thanks, I
opt out.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know, this is such a
confusing time to look at so many of these things,
because technology is enabling things to occur and happen that.
Speaker 5: Has never right, and yet so much of it is.
Speaker 6: In the hands of people that you can't trust as
far as you throw them, you know what I mean. Like,
So anyway, I like, for instance, the MRN a thing
I've read about it.
Speaker 5: I probably I.
Speaker 6: Don't know as much about it as you, so feel
free to jump in and correct me where I'm wrong.
But I think that it's been horrific how it's been handled.
But also on the flip side, there is some really
interesting potential there as it relates to or at least
there was correct Again, I haven't done as much work
on it as you have, But isn't it when you
put it in the category of something that just needs
a lot more work done on it? It's not people ready,
but there is reason to continue exploring down that road.
Speaker 5: Wouldn't you say that's fair?
Speaker 2: Uh no, really?
Speaker 5: Okay, so it's just bad all around.
Speaker 1: So let me let me present it this way. If
you accept the premise that we are uninstalled unit bases,
we're uninstalled user bases, or as Microsoft woul referred to
us as OEMs. Okay, so there's a bunch of computers
out there without our stuff on it. If you accept
that premise, and you look at mRNA and say, yeah,
you know what I'd like you to do is I'd
like you to start building computer code to compete with
my body's DNA. And I don't think that that's ever
going to turn bad. And I don't think that anyone
in business will ever construct computer code in the human
body that requires content updates or you get sick, then yeah,
go with the MR and A. But when Bill Gates
calls this a platform, these guys, one of the things
about Silicon values, none of them think they're wrong.
Speaker 2: You're the guy who pointed that out.
Speaker 1: And a guy like Ellison, with all the money, all
the time, all the strategists, all the scientists he can
pay all day long, they don't five your plans tomorrow
to them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So if you look out from this step by
step by step by step, let's let's just do some things.
Speaker 1: Eighty percent of Americans are on some form of psychotropic
eighty stinking percent crazy of probably one third of Americans,
eighty percent of young people one third of Americans, thirty percent,
eighty percent of people under age of twenty five, Those
things are addictive.
Speaker 5: Is psychotropic? How would we define that?
Speaker 2: That's a depressant anti anxiety?
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, so kids, young people under twenty five.
By some measures, it's twenty five percent, it's eighty percent, Zach.
That stuff's addictive. It's as bad as phentonol. Some people
say worse. Do you see farmer stepping up to say, hey,
you know what, We're going to figure out some ways
to get you off this now, Todd, How.
Speaker 6: Is eighty percent of any population that's just insane?
Speaker 1: I know, and many of them are on multiple pills.
That's our soul design data pressants. Okay, so there's that.
So the same people who are pharmatypes now are bringing
Ellison types. You tell me they're not going to formulate
the code that they're writing in the body, because this
stuff is computer code to need.
Speaker 2: Updates, of course they are.
Speaker 1: Okay, So what happens when you need an update, Well,
there's some things we're going to need you to change.
And I'm telling you this opens the door to something else.
If it can be coded, it can be.
Speaker 5: Hacked, right, Yeah, that's true. Yep.
Speaker 1: And when they're starting to talk about self amplifying so
called vaccines, self replicating vaccines, you walk next to somebody
who got this stuff, and you get this stuff.
Speaker 2: Suddenly they're doing forced downloads.
Speaker 1: Do you remember how angry people got at you two
when they gave away their album on iTunes because people
up on the phone like what the heck, my phone's
saken forever? To like what, oh, well, thanks you too for.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Now, just imagine when they forced an upload into you,
into your bodies.
Speaker 2: So I don't buy the.
Speaker 1: Premise that I want human code in my body. And
consequently on the m R and I I'm I'm I'm
no to the idea that I need additional human code
in my body.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I'm also I'm looking at the trajectory of the
MR and as there's been nothing positive from them, there's
I can tell.
Speaker 5: Yeah that's true.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was operating off the when I first heard
Mcca Peter McCulla talk about it, and he was saying,
how there's really interesting possibilities, but he was like, this
is just not anywhere close to being game time ready.
Speaker 2: And that's that's a very shredable way to put it.
Speaker 1: And doctor McColo knows more about this yesterday, he forgot
more about it than I do. And so all I'm
saying is, Overton windows aren't just political, right. Overton windows
are in personal relationships, you know, you expand boundaries of
personal relationships. They're in business, they're in and they're in science.
And the Overton window that I don't want to open
the door to is, yes, please let human beings write
code that is going to compete with the the code
God wrote, and I'll put that in my body. That
makes sense. Yes, I happen to think God writes clean code.
Speaker 5: I would trust it much better than ours.
Speaker 2: Right, That's that's what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 1: Fascinating discussion today, my brother, Thank you as always for coming.
Speaker 2: On the program, and thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: You bet we'll see you soon, hopefully back over here
in the High Mountain to free America one day.
Speaker 2: Real soon.
Speaker 5: We need to make that happen.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll do that. This is Todd Herbert Show.
Speaker 1: Please go, be well, be strong, be kind, and please
make every effort to walk in the light of Christ.
