A 20 00:01:23,879 --> 00:01:27,400 lot of us who weren't in the communications team. Those 21 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,120 of us who were some newcomers to Washington, d C. 22 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,239 And by us, I mean me and my team came 23 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:38,120 in as tech people, totally outside and I informed my 24 00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:40,680 team right away. If one of you leaks and I 25 00:01:40,719 --> 00:01:44,799 find out and you leak to reporter, you're fired. These 26 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:50,079 reporters are not our friends. Let's not pretend otherwise. And 27 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,200 when you brought in this outsider point of view and 28 00:01:52,239 --> 00:01:55,079 you treated these people as who they are, it was super, 29 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,760 super upsetting. There was a press secretary, a female press 30 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,319 secont arry who worked in that business forever, and I 31 00:02:03,359 --> 00:02:07,000 tweeted something about Katie Kuric because Katie Curic was making 32 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,360 fun of Sarah Palin and it was basically calling Sarah 33 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:15,400 Palin a loose woman, or you know, Sarah Palin wore 34 00:02:15,439 --> 00:02:18,240 these she was jogging, she was on Runners magazine and 35 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,560 so she wore I guess yoga pants, and Katie Kirk 36 00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:23,919 had something smart actually to say about showing. 37 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:24,319 Speaker 3: Off her body. 38 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: And then a video came out of Katie Kirk drunk dancing, 39 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,120 and I tweeted something about it and referenced to Sarah 40 00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:37,599 Palin piece, and Katie called that press secretary personally and 41 00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:42,400 said will you please have him take that down? And 42 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:48,199 we were in Maryland at a retreat, and I remember 43 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,800 that that female press secretary came up to my room 44 00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:55,479 at like ten thirty at night and knocked on the door. 45 00:02:57,159 --> 00:02:58,199 Speaker 3: Hey can I come in? 46 00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: And I'm looking out the key hole and it's her like, no, oh, no, 47 00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:10,280 I just want to talk to you privately. No, I'll 48 00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:11,960 come downstairs and talk to you. 49 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,199 Speaker 3: Well it's private. 50 00:03:15,439 --> 00:03:20,479 Speaker 1: No, we can talk privately in the dining room or 51 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,879 anywhere else, but no, not in my room or yours. 52 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,879 So we go downstairs and she says, hey, look, I'm 53 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,439 asking you as a friend. You know, I feel like 54 00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:33,039 we've become friends. Could you do something as a friend 55 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,319 for me? Could you take that tweet down? Like, wow, 56 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:42,400 we're friends. I didn't know we're friends because we've never 57 00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:49,759 done anything together as friends. And no, well it's really 58 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:55,000 hurting Katie's feelings. Oh thanks for telling me. Well she's 59 00:03:55,039 --> 00:03:56,639 a friend and she's been good to us. 60 00:03:56,719 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 3: No, she hasn't. 61 00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: So you look through that. They say, Okay, so hey, 62 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,800 why the big drama? Why do you understand the setup too? 63 00:04:05,879 --> 00:04:09,800 Can I come into your room? I mean, do you 64 00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:17,639 understand how that would work later. So they in that town, 65 00:04:17,879 --> 00:04:23,600 Republicans so so sought and begged for the media to 66 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:29,240 stop beating them, and the press secretaries and the comms directors. 67 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:34,439 They were so wrapped up in toxic emotional affairs with 68 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:39,279 these reporters. And I remember seeing a friend of mine, 69 00:04:39,519 --> 00:04:41,639 a guy I worked with who is a good guy, 70 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:48,360 generally speaking, laughing and yucking it up in the offices 71 00:04:48,519 --> 00:04:53,040 of the Obama White House Press secretary, leaning back in chairs, 72 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,560 having drink a poos. 73 00:04:55,759 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 3: Like they hate. 74 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: You and you can't see this. So President Trump modeled 75 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,920 something with the media. Yep, go talk to them. President 76 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,240 Trump likes to be on camera. Go do that, but 77 00:05:11,399 --> 00:05:14,199 understand they're not your friends, and it's not healthy to 78 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,480 think their friends. And the new White House practice Press Secretary, 79 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,040 I think, finally gets this. And this woman was not 80 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,639 selected simply because the camera loves her, and she loves 81 00:05:23,639 --> 00:05:26,959 it back. She's good at her job. That's a healthy 82 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,079 thing to see. And health can come in really quick hits, 83 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,199 or it can come over time. If you've let yourself 84 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,079 go over time and you've gotten let's say, way too heavy, 85 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,160 bad body composition, too much fat, not enough muscle.

Carolyn Levitts, the new White House 114 00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:26,079 Press Secretary, talking with an AP reporter. 115 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 4: Thanks Caroline, a question that we've asked your predecessors of 116 00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:32,360 both parties in this job. When you're up here in. 117 00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:34,839 Speaker 5: This free from room speaking to the American public, you. 118 00:07:34,879 --> 00:07:38,879 Speaker 4: View yourself and your role as speaking on, advocating on 119 00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:41,680 behalf of the president, or providing the unfurnished truth, that 120 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,639 is not to lie, not to off escape to the 121 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:45,240 American people. 122 00:07:45,639 --> 00:07:47,959 Speaker 6: I commit to telling the truth from this podium every 123 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,600 single day. I commit to speaking on behalf of the 124 00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:53,439 president of the United States. That is my job. And 125 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,519 I will say it's very easy to speak truth from 126 00:07:55,519 --> 00:07:58,480 this podium when you have a president who is implementing 127 00:07:58,519 --> 00:08:02,279 policies that are wildly popular with the American people and 128 00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:05,879 that's exactly what this administration is doing. It's correcting the 129 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,920 lies and the wrongs of the past four years, many 130 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,920 of the lies that have been told to your faces 131 00:08:10,959 --> 00:08:12,199 in this very briefing room. 132 00:08:12,439 --> 00:08:13,319 Speaker 7: I will not do that. 133 00:08:13,639 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 6: But since you brought up truth seek, I would like 134 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,759 to point out, while I vow to provide the truth 135 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,199 from this podium, we ask that all of you in 136 00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:23,720 this room hold yourselves to that same standard. We know 137 00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:26,199 for a fact there have been lies that have been 138 00:08:26,199 --> 00:08:29,319 pushed by many legacy media outlets in this country about 139 00:08:29,319 --> 00:08:33,879 this president, about his family, and we will not accept that. 140 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,360 We will call you out when we feel that your 141 00:08:36,879 --> 00:08:40,639 reporting is wrong or there is misinformation about this White House. 142 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,000 So yes, I will hold myself to the truth, and 143 00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:44,759 I expect everyone in this room to do the same. 144 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,279 Speaker 1: Krons was so well done, And just one thing I 145 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:52,360 would recommend. Don't use the language of the enemy. Don't 146 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:58,679 use misinformation or disinformation. It's meaningless. Stick with lies because 147 00:08:58,759 --> 00:09:03,679 lies are demonstrable. Resident Trump was not a Russian asset. 148 00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:09,879 Lies are demonstrable. This or misinformation is meant to confuse. 149 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,799 Don't use the language of the enemy. Other than that, 150 00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:13,440 great job on the. 151 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,399 Speaker 3: Topic, of the drones. 152 00:09:16,159 --> 00:09:20,639 Speaker 1: The drones, It was a fascinating story, I mean utterly 153 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,320 fascinating to dig into because everybody could make anything out 154 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,799 of it, and there were a lot of people and 155 00:09:26,159 --> 00:09:28,120 credit or credits due. My wife said, it's our government. 156 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,440 She said it on day one, tot it's our government. Well, 157 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,320 funny things of the new White House Press Secretary. 158 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,519 Speaker 8: Update on the New Jersey drones. 159 00:09:38,159 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 6: After research and study, the drones that were flying over 160 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,840 New Jersey and large numbers were authorized to be flown 161 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:50,159 by the FAA for research and various other reasons. Many 162 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,840 of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational and private individuals 163 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,039 that enjoy flying jones. In meantime, in time, it got 164 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,519 worse due to cure curiosity. 165 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 8: This was not the enemy. 166 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: Man that had been nice to know. So the drones 167 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,039 that were authorized to fly by FEMA, were they the 168 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:19,279 ones unspeakably fast that drone operators had never seen, that 169 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,000 military people had never seen. 170 00:10:22,919 --> 00:10:26,279 Speaker 3: That would be interesting to know. Do we believe her? 171 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,960 Here's powder recognition thus far? I don't see her lying. 172 00:10:32,279 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: So thus far, she's building up a position of trust. 173 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,159 The previous administration lied all the time. Anything they could 174 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,879 do to keep us on our heels, keep us guessing, 175 00:10:42,919 --> 00:10:45,519 to keep us feeling uneasy. That was part of the 176 00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:47,039 goal of the deep state and part of the goal 177 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,279 of administration. There's also this also from the same White 178 00:10:51,279 --> 00:10:53,919 House on the topic of agriculture. 179 00:10:53,399 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 6: Of everything, not just eggs, bacon, groceries, gasoline have increased 180 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,879 because of the inflationary policies of the last administration. As 181 00:11:01,919 --> 00:11:04,399 far as the egg shortage, what's also contributing to that 182 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,399 is that the Biden administration in the Department of Agriculture 183 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,120 directed the mass killing of more than one hundred million chickens, 184 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,919 which has led to a lack of chicken supply in 185 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,360 this country, therefore lack of egg supply, which is leading 186 00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:19,000 to the shortage. So I will leave you at this point. 187 00:11:19,399 --> 00:11:22,320 This is an example of why it's so incredibly important 188 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,279 that the Senate moves swiftly to confirm all of President 189 00:11:25,279 --> 00:11:28,519 Trump's nominees, including his nominee for the United States Department 190 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,320 of Agriculture, Brook Rawlins, who is already speaking with Kevin Hassett, 191 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,679 who's leading the economic team here at the White House, 192 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,360 on how we can address the egg shortage in this country. 193 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,919 As for costs, I laid out costs. I laid out 194 00:11:39,919 --> 00:11:44,000 the plethora of ways that President Trump has addressed saving 195 00:11:44,039 --> 00:11:46,720 costs for the American people over the past week. He 196 00:11:46,759 --> 00:11:48,519 looks forward to continuing to doing that in the days 197 00:11:48,519 --> 00:11:50,639 of head thank you, thank you. 198 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 1: So much to talk about in the ways of eggs 199 00:11:53,639 --> 00:11:55,679 and the food supply, and we'll do that on the 200 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,679 substack channel. That's the Todd Hermann showed that substack dot com. 201 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,519 Because there's a lot of information about why those birds 202 00:12:03,519 --> 00:12:06,600 were getting sick. The cause of that, you could say, 203 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,879 the source of that, the origin of that something we'll 204 00:12:09,879 --> 00:12:12,679 discuss at the Todd Herman show dot substack dot com. 205 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,960 She's not the only one, and she's very good at this, 206 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,200 and I think she's going to prove to be a 207 00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:20,679 very good press secretary if she'll stop using the language 208 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,480 of the enemy, continue to have this friendly stance, happy 209 00:12:24,519 --> 00:12:29,120 warrior stance. You've seen this guy on CNN, and it 210 00:12:29,159 --> 00:12:31,960 is phenomenal to me that CNN allows this guy here. 211 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,039 And I honestly believe CNN doesn't quite get at this 212 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,279 point how bad he makes the rest of their host look, 213 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,039 because CNN in that world is such a bubble that 214 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:49,240 I could see them leaving a beating like this saying, oh, 215 00:12:49,279 --> 00:12:52,240 we took him down. Oh oh, look at what we 216 00:12:52,279 --> 00:12:55,840 did to the bitter clinger. Watch this conversation Scott Jennings 217 00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,840 in the CNN panel saying that Americans are Havingyer's remorse 218 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,799 over President Trump being in office just criminals. 219 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 7: It would say, oh, Trump is not going to do that. 220 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 9: I didn't believe it. 221 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 10: I have on tape. I have them, they have all 222 00:13:11,399 --> 00:13:16,000 the anecdotes. The assertion, the assertion that all American voters 223 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,039 did not know exactly what Donald Trump is going to do, 224 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,279 Oh they didn't think it is totally false. There was 225 00:13:21,279 --> 00:13:25,120 a massive amount of polling during the campaign. Hispanic Americans 226 00:13:25,399 --> 00:13:30,360 supported deportations in majority. You and I debated this many times. 227 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:31,840 You claimed it wasn't true, and then what they do, 228 00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:36,120 They wouldn't vote it for don the There is no 229 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,519 buyer's remorse. The people who followed our laws and came 230 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,080 here legally are more than happy. 231 00:13:40,799 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 7: To see it. 232 00:13:41,639 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 9: But here's here's what's being I think this is very 233 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:50,440 critical in a vacuum. Yes, majority of Americans do support 234 00:13:50,519 --> 00:13:53,879 mass deportation, Scott, but you have seen this also in polls. 235 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,679 When you start telling them what that means illegal leaving 236 00:13:57,799 --> 00:14:03,120 they support support the Yes, they support the criminals. Let 237 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,799 me finish when you when you start telling them what 238 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:11,759 that means dreamers, veterans, teachers, and their family. Then they say, 239 00:14:11,879 --> 00:14:13,879 you know what, these are people that have been here 240 00:14:13,879 --> 00:14:16,919 for thirty years. They have contributed trillions of dollars to 241 00:14:16,919 --> 00:14:21,080 our economy. I prefer to give them a pathway to citizenship. 242 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,440 So you know what the solve is, Scott, in order 243 00:14:23,559 --> 00:14:25,799 to get rid of all of those illegals, Let's give 244 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,600 them a pathway to citizenship. That is a win win 245 00:14:28,799 --> 00:14:30,120 for the economy for us. 246 00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 7: In the last battle he's fighting the next. 247 00:14:33,679 --> 00:14:34,679 Speaker 3: It doesn't work anymore. 248 00:14:34,799 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: Here's say you get rid of the illegals, make them 249 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:43,879 non legal. Wave the ones now they're not illegal. I 250 00:14:43,919 --> 00:14:48,879 will say this, President Trump's team would be absolutely wise 251 00:14:49,039 --> 00:14:55,440 and brilliant to look into cases where an illegal immigrant 252 00:14:55,639 --> 00:15:01,600 may have earned a presidential pardon. They should put together 253 00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:07,759 a panel of review. You can pardon people. Maybe there's 254 00:15:07,799 --> 00:15:09,840 illegal immigrants who came into this country and they save 255 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,639 seven people in a house fire. Maybe they went to work, 256 00:15:13,679 --> 00:15:19,000 Maybe they actually paid taxes, Maybe they actually built contribute 257 00:15:19,039 --> 00:15:23,720 to society that happens. I know people like this take 258 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:30,799 some opportunities to show mercy and to use the power 259 00:15:30,799 --> 00:15:35,879 of the pardon and then balance a press conference. Announce 260 00:15:36,879 --> 00:15:38,600 to the mockingbird media. They s you're going to have 261 00:15:38,639 --> 00:15:42,120 a press conference the president is pardoning some illegal immigrants, 262 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,080 and you're going to have some people on Mega say 263 00:15:45,159 --> 00:15:47,720 what No. Then when they see the families and what 264 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,200 they've done, the human kindness the mercy. God gives us 265 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,440 mercy all the time. I need mercy about a thousand 266 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,879 times a minute. President Trump's not God, but he can 267 00:15:58,159 --> 00:16:01,440 give this mercy. At that same time, press conference, have 268 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,080 information on the violent criminals who's been taken back to 269 00:16:06,159 --> 00:16:11,120 their country's of origin, who committed unspeakable acts, and combined 270 00:16:11,159 --> 00:16:13,879 the picture hardening people who have done well within the 271 00:16:13,919 --> 00:16:18,960 country sending others back. Malcolm BERBETI would have trouble not 272 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,399 telling both sides of that story if the press conference 273 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:27,120 is well done. Story number two. So, in western North Carolina, 274 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,080 there have been people who have been cataloging what's been 275 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,240 going on with that part of the country for the 276 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:33,879 longest time. 277 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,279 Speaker 3: There are people who live there. 278 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,919 Speaker 1: One guy who's gotten a good amount of followers on 279 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,200 this is named Matt van Swall, head of subscription Growth, 280 00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:44,639 former nuclear scientist for his Department of Energy, ex photographer 281 00:16:44,679 --> 00:16:47,679 for Apple United Hyatt and there's a link to his 282 00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:49,399 work in the show notes and he should be getting 283 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,000 a lot more follows. 284 00:16:51,559 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 3: He's been doing a fantastic. 285 00:16:52,919 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: Job of showing what FEMA refused to do within western 286 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,720 North Carolina and now he's sitting in the perfect place 287 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,840 to sh what President Trump's team is doing within western 288 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,079 North Carolina. James Rosen has also done this with former 289 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,519 Fox reporter James Rosen TV. I'll talk about this in 290 00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:14,160 terms of the money, but also the action and what 291 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,759 they're putting to play in western North Carolina. A lot 292 00:17:16,799 --> 00:17:19,200 of it based on his work. Money's always at the 293 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,880 center of things and power, power structures always is. My 294 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,599 friend Zach Abraham is doing his first free live webinar 295 00:17:26,039 --> 00:17:30,000 of the year post election. It is the thirtieth of Tomorrow, 296 00:17:31,039 --> 00:17:34,400 January thirtieth, and in this he's going to talk about 297 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,799 the likely effects of Trump policies. His Energy Secretary, Commerce Secretary, 298 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,640 we get Agriculture in RFK Junior comes in. Is a 299 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,680 president serious about doing the way with the income tax 300 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:46,680 and replacing. 301 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 3: It with tariffs. 302 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: Is the Secretary of Energy serious about US being the 303 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,960 dominant energy provider in the world, including micro nuclear? All 304 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,119 those things sound like a watershed for the US economy, 305 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:02,000 and they probably would be. But what if your portfolio 306 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,559 is not set up to take advantage of that? Or 307 00:18:06,759 --> 00:18:10,359 what if the empire fights back? Because you know they will. 308 00:18:11,079 --> 00:18:12,880 So in this free live webinar, Zach is going to 309 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,799 go through those scenarios and we'll talk about how the 310 00:18:15,839 --> 00:18:19,119 Bulwark portfolio has performed through the year, what they're seeing 311 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,119 coming up, and how this affects your ability to retire 312 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,119 and stay retired. It's free, but you have to register 313 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,319 to tend.

Truck twenty 318 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,519 fives one oh three James Rosen TV put this on Twitter. 319 00:18:45,559 --> 00:18:49,920 Breaking flank by flotus in Franklin, Gray and in Ashville, 320 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,920 North Carolina, President United States Sales Reporters. He intends to 321 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,599 dissolve FEMA, seeing the nation's premier disaster relief agency, has 322 00:18:57,599 --> 00:19:00,839 itself been a disaster, and that governor should wield more 323 00:19:00,839 --> 00:19:04,480 authority in lending their states to leading their states to recovery. 324 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 3: Praise God. 325 00:19:05,319 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: Yes, this is a major shell game Washington DC plays. 326 00:19:11,599 --> 00:19:15,400 They take money from the states, they send it to DC. 327 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,640 They pay themselves, They pay their retirements, their pensions. No 328 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,079 one else in the world gets pensions but government employees. 329 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,359 They hire NGOs that are friends of theirs, who then 330 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,680 launder money back to the party of government, which is 331 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,720 the Democrats, and then they send a little tiny bit 332 00:19:31,839 --> 00:19:34,400 back to the states here and there. It's a major 333 00:19:34,519 --> 00:19:37,480 shell game. It is a huge myth that FEMA gives 334 00:19:37,519 --> 00:19:43,000 any states money FEMBA takes, it doesn't give. You'd be 335 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,400 much better off having a series of states agencies that 336 00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:48,720 can choose to work together. 337 00:19:48,759 --> 00:19:49,839 Speaker 3: If it's a multi. 338 00:19:49,519 --> 00:19:53,799 Speaker 1: State affair, there can be coordination efforts by the federal 339 00:19:53,799 --> 00:19:57,480 government coordinated between the states. But the financial shell game 340 00:19:57,519 --> 00:20:02,920 should end because it ends up that politicized governments and 341 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,960 other the people who around Joe Biden all things were politics. 342 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:13,720 Ends up that there's the foot dragging that bureaucrats brag about, 343 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,079 Oh sure, it's just it works. So then we're just 344 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,720 gonna be extra careful to make sure that people we 345 00:20:18,759 --> 00:20:21,279 don't agree with ideologically don't get the help they need. 346 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:26,680 This is from an actual FEMA press conference where they 347 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,240 were confronted about why on earth is this taking so long? 348 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:31,759 Speaker 11: Why is there such a delay? 349 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 6: Why is there only twenty seven trailers here and going 350 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:36,240 into winter. 351 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 8: There are a number of different complicating factors, So, for example, 352 00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:44,279 citing a mobile unit on a private property has a 353 00:20:44,319 --> 00:20:48,119 lot to do with, for example, topography here in Bunkom County, 354 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,519 we've got a lot of mountains. You've got a lot 355 00:20:50,519 --> 00:20:54,680 of considerations, not just with where is it to actually 356 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,799 put the unit, but then also hooking up utilities, making 357 00:20:57,839 --> 00:21:01,359 sure the electrical lines, the plumbing lines, everything is good 358 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,160 to go, and it's a safe for a family to 359 00:21:04,279 --> 00:21:04,759 stay in. 360 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,759 Speaker 3: Why is it taking a long time because stuff is hard? 361 00:21:17,759 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: Wait, the question was, you are the almighty FEMA with 362 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:30,759 gajillions of dollars taken from the States. You've barely constructed 363 00:21:30,759 --> 00:21:34,799 any tiny homes, but the Amish can in a couple 364 00:21:34,839 --> 00:21:40,960 of days. It's because there's mountains and stuff is hard. 365 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 3: Plus utilities. 366 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:51,319 Speaker 1: Maybe start with shelter, like four walls and in some insulation, 367 00:21:52,519 --> 00:21:54,480 and maybe a woodstove, because funny thing, most people in 368 00:21:54,519 --> 00:21:59,640 western North Carolina know how to deal with woodstoves. Wow, 369 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:07,079 FEMA under President Trump is a little bit different. This 370 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,440 is also from the same source we've been talking about. 371 00:22:10,599 --> 00:22:14,400 This is Matthew Ventswall, and he noticed something that started 372 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:20,920 to occur right after President Trump came into office. You're 373 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:25,920 watching the video, you see the storm damaged areas, and 374 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,359 you're going to notice something. They're starting to get cleaned up. 375 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,680 They're fixing the roads, they're moving the rubble off the roads, 376 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:39,680 they're beginning to move the wires off the roads. Biden 377 00:22:39,759 --> 00:22:43,960 didn't do any of this. The rubble stayed behind and 378 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,720 became a problem. They couldn't get to grocery stores, they 379 00:22:47,759 --> 00:22:52,680 couldn't get anywhere, so Biden ignored all of this. Matt 380 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,799 also posted videos of trucks coming in the Army cor 381 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,400 engineers bringing in massive convoys of trucks. I mean, and 382 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:04,039 it's just a trucks passing by. Trolls on Twitter came 383 00:23:04,079 --> 00:23:08,519 and said that's contextual editing, deep fake, so he had 384 00:23:08,559 --> 00:23:11,839 to release the entire video twenty minutes of tructually by 385 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,759 that didn't happen under the figurehead Biden ignored, it seems 386 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,680 the victims in North Carolina. 387 00:23:20,319 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 12: So we've been doing a little bit of battling with 388 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,000 our insurance and FEMA. We did have proper insurance with 389 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:32,400 flood insurance and homeowners insurance. Since we had proper insurance, 390 00:23:32,839 --> 00:23:34,559 FEMA has not been able to assist us with a 391 00:23:34,559 --> 00:23:35,400 whole lot of things. 392 00:23:35,559 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 1: And the President of the United States is standing here. 393 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,319 He has given this man his podium. That man is 394 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,359 speaking behind the seal of the President United States. As 395 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,440 President Trump looks on this man holding his little I 396 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,200 think Little Boy card to tell with the code on 397 00:23:50,319 --> 00:23:53,880 little Boy is detailing what he has dealt with with 398 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,920 FEMA and big insurance, which is of course big government. 399 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,200 As President Trump listens, phenomenal moment. 400 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 12: And again, we've been having some issues with trying to 401 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:08,279 get some payout for our insurance in a timely manner. 402 00:24:08,599 --> 00:24:09,079 Speaker 2: Uh. 403 00:24:09,279 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 12: We had to do mold mitigation on our home, which 404 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,559 is extremely expensive before the structural engineer even came out 405 00:24:15,559 --> 00:24:19,000 in order to get our flood payout. And to me, 406 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,440 that was not really acceptable. This company been responsive or 407 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,640 not not not so much. 408 00:24:27,559 --> 00:24:29,799 Speaker 1: That was the President asking, has your insurance company been 409 00:24:29,839 --> 00:24:30,799 responsive again? 410 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 2: Give the. 411 00:24:34,279 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 12: I'm hoping so, and we might we need some assistance 412 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,519 with that. We reached out to an attorney company, North 413 00:24:41,519 --> 00:24:42,519 Carolina Farm Bureau. 414 00:24:43,039 --> 00:24:47,799 Speaker 1: Oh, what's the name of the insurance company? Since the 415 00:24:47,799 --> 00:24:53,519 President United States? North Carolina Farm Bureau. Now, just imagine 416 00:24:53,519 --> 00:24:56,200 that you're the boss person of North Carolina Farm BREO 417 00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:01,720 and you go, oh, oh, oh, oh, yep. 418 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,039 Speaker 12: That's what we're after here. 419 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:09,799 Speaker 1: So when the insurance companies general, different insurance companies and 420 00:25:09,799 --> 00:25:13,359 they're all difficult or just the one particular one. 421 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 12: I've heard different stories from others, and a lot of 422 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,519 folks are and I've heard some some good instances of 423 00:25:20,519 --> 00:25:23,519 even Farm Bureau themselves. But in my case, you know, 424 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,240 they'd send out a third party adjuster. Immediately, well, they 425 00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:30,839 wound up firing that third party adjuster group. He gave 426 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,960 us a quote for a much higher estimate than what 427 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,680 we received and then he got let go. 428 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:36,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, he got fired. 429 00:25:37,319 --> 00:25:39,559 Speaker 12: So then they brought in another third party adjuster to 430 00:25:39,559 --> 00:25:40,640 come in and low ball us. 431 00:25:41,799 --> 00:25:44,880 Speaker 1: The President of the United States did something so vitally 432 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,480 important here is that he took the voices of people 433 00:25:47,799 --> 00:25:50,200 who had for months better ignored by the people who 434 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,079 run Joe Biden. I mean, this isn't California, after all, 435 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:59,720 this is western North Carolina. And that's a really compassionate 436 00:25:59,799 --> 00:26:02,880 you of the bully Pulpits letting the people speak. It's 437 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,440 smart politics, it's retail, but it also is FEMA under 438 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,759 President Trump. I intend to be there hearing you. 439 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:10,079 Speaker 2: Now. 440 00:26:10,079 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 1: You notice this that people like Biden and Obama are 441 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,000 often by the Muckenberg meta referred to as comforter or 442 00:26:16,039 --> 00:26:17,759 in chief. What do you think is more comforting? They 443 00:26:17,759 --> 00:26:21,079 come and do a flyby sign, some hats pretend to 444 00:26:21,079 --> 00:26:22,839 serve some coffee, or a man who says no, you 445 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,160 take my podium and standing there, And I think that's 446 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,799 a humble Donald Trump. He doesn't seem to be attention seeking. 447 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,559 Speaker 3: It seems to be humble Donald Trump. 448 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: After all of this, there was a little news that 449 00:26:35,279 --> 00:26:39,319 broke about FEMA and about what FEMA did and didn't do, 450 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,119 And again this is Matt van Swall. With this, the 451 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:46,559 local media learned some things about FEMA. What got accomplished 452 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,039 under the people who run Joe Biden, or rather ran. 453 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 7: Him on the armed guards and through the chain link 454 00:26:51,759 --> 00:26:56,039 fence taxes at hard of work, and you'll see what 455 00:26:56,279 --> 00:26:58,039 looks like a simple solution. 456 00:26:58,599 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 12: I wonder while they're sitting here out with the family 457 00:27:01,039 --> 00:27:01,720 that needs it. 458 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 7: Almost eighty FEMA trailers shipped in from Alabama and Maryland 459 00:27:06,759 --> 00:27:11,680 that Aiden Lingerfeldt, who works nearby, says haven't budged in months. 460 00:27:12,039 --> 00:27:13,599 Speaker 3: They came in, they've been sitting since. 461 00:27:13,839 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 7: He's far from the only one who shared those words. 462 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,839 A WCNC Charlotte viewer emailed me a picture of these 463 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,920 trailers and said they've been here since Thanksgiving. She wondered 464 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,960 when the federal government was going to deliver them to 465 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,880 the people of western North Carolina. So we came up 466 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,400 to Hickory and during our visit we ran into a 467 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,359 FEMA spokesperson who told us the agency is moving trailers 468 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,920 out of here all the time. The federal agency says 469 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,720 it's placed one hundred and forty households in temporary units 470 00:27:44,839 --> 00:27:48,880 like these, has forty nine trailers in Helene impacted counties 471 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,240 that are in the process of being installed, and has 472 00:27:52,319 --> 00:27:56,519 active work orders for another eighteen trailers that will eventually 473 00:27:56,559 --> 00:28:00,720 be delivered to a combination of private and commerce sites. 474 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,839 But it's not as seamless as the public would hope. 475 00:28:04,319 --> 00:28:09,039 County permitting requirements and weather delays have slowed down the process. 476 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 11: We got to get the victim in the home, and 477 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:17,119 logistically it has been tough. The weather has not cooperated 478 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,440 at all. But that can't be an excuse. 479 00:28:19,599 --> 00:28:23,799 Speaker 7: Philip Barrier says, ten families in Avery County need trailers, 480 00:28:24,079 --> 00:28:27,720 and so far FEMA has only delivered too. 481 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,559 Speaker 11: And I hear about them being deployed every day. They're 482 00:28:30,559 --> 00:28:32,440 just not deployed to Avery County. 483 00:28:32,599 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 7: The county manager says, as those families remain temporarily housed 484 00:28:36,759 --> 00:28:40,000 in hotels. FEMA has spent two weeks looking at a 485 00:28:40,039 --> 00:28:44,599 possible site where the agency could place several trailers. 486 00:28:44,599 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: Crazy that, you know, I mean, this is just me 487 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,440 and I ain't no FEMA genius. It's so weird that 488 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:58,279 they couldn't, you know, bring the families there and hook 489 00:28:58,359 --> 00:29:03,920 up power to the houses in that lot. I mean, 490 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:09,640 that can't be done. It's impossible to transport families. Yeah, 491 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,680 President Trump's right, FEMA should be dissolved. The power should 492 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,480 be given to the states, and with the power of 493 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:20,759 the expectations. Because there's a strange thing that happens Washington, 494 00:29:20,839 --> 00:29:23,160 d C. Doesn't need to particularly care about western North 495 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,839 Carolina because they're not there. They live in the center 496 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,119 of the center of the universe. There's never a recession 497 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:31,559 or depression, and if there is a natural disaster that hits, 498 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,880 it's taken care of immediately. Because they have endless access 499 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:39,680 to money, people are more responsive the disasters at home. 500 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,759 Speaker 3: Story number three. 501 00:29:44,079 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: Cannice Owen had a former CIA official named Kevin Ship 502 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,680 on the program and they talked about a reason that 503 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,200 he says that governments and the CIA don't like Christians. 504 00:29:57,319 --> 00:29:58,119 Speaker 3: And we'll talk. 505 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: About this and discuss it in just to say seconds, 506 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,519 I do need to make just sort of an uncomfortable announcement. 507 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,279 We have ended our work with Wisdom Nutrition, and I 508 00:30:08,279 --> 00:30:10,319 want to be clear that sound like a Biden person. 509 00:30:10,359 --> 00:30:12,240 I want to be clear. I love the product. I 510 00:30:12,279 --> 00:30:14,319 have it right over there. I took some last night. 511 00:30:14,319 --> 00:30:16,039 I think it's a really well done product. I've always 512 00:30:16,039 --> 00:30:19,359 thought that there was a pricing discrepancy and it was 513 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,119 a pretty dramatic one, and a apologies that we didn't 514 00:30:23,119 --> 00:30:26,440 catch that. We have a quad review program and we 515 00:30:26,559 --> 00:30:29,920 did not get that one. So Radio America when they 516 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,039 went through and looked at the pricing, they didn't notice this. 517 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,119 I didn't notice this. A friend of this show for 518 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,480 many many years, from radio to podcasting and now to 519 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,480 hear Rance Arnold notice this, so a gosh, thank you, 520 00:30:42,559 --> 00:30:47,119 rants b if you bought Wisdom, and again I love 521 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,319 the product. You didn't get the discount that they promised. 522 00:30:51,359 --> 00:30:54,400 In all likelihood, if that happened to you, here's what 523 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,039 I can do. If you send me go to the 524 00:30:57,079 --> 00:31:01,400 show page, send me the receipt paid for. I will 525 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,480 give you a free subscription to our video service, which 526 00:31:04,519 --> 00:31:06,839 has exclusive videos. They don't hit YouTube, they don't hear 527 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,559 anywhere else but Substack, and I'll give you that for 528 00:31:09,599 --> 00:31:11,839 a year, and that should make up the difference. So 529 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,599 just go to the Todd Herman Show dot com and 530 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,519 we'll take care of that. This is an ex CIA 531 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,599 official talk with Kids Owen about his idea of why 532 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,720 governments and the CIA, he says, don't like Christians. 533 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 5: Why Christians? Remember the Soviet Union made a statement that 534 00:31:27,279 --> 00:31:32,000 we could control all of our entire population except the Christians, 535 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,440 and they had to put them in prison and goologs. 536 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,079 And I remember nineteen ninety four when I was in 537 00:31:36,119 --> 00:31:39,359 the CIA. We ordered into a conference room. We all 538 00:31:39,359 --> 00:31:41,319 filed in. There's about thirty of us, and our division 539 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,200 chief starts off by saying, now, don't get mad at me, 540 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,839 I'm just the messenger. This comes down from the director 541 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:51,160 of the CIA. You can no longer say Merry Christmas 542 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,160 in any CI office space. You cannot have a major 543 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,880 scene on your desk or on your door, or you 544 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,200 will face administrative penalties. And the sad part there was 545 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,200 only two of us. Our jaws dropped like what And 546 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,839 the CI was actively against Christians and they used DEI 547 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,319 as a method to suppress them. And I remember it 548 00:32:10,359 --> 00:32:11,880 was Christmas Eve and I walked out, you know, I 549 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,079 thought about this period, about this overnight, and I said, 550 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,440 oh no, you don't. So I walked out on New 551 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,119 Year's Even. I turned around everybody and I said good night, 552 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,599 and by the way, Merry Christmas. I'm like, you know, 553 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,119 there is a line you don't cross. Well, there was 554 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:28,160 an outrage from the CII populace, and as as evil 555 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,039 people always do they, when they they got resistance, they 556 00:32:31,039 --> 00:32:33,359 backed off and said, well never mind. You know, but 557 00:32:33,559 --> 00:32:36,160 it has been Christianity because the Christians are the only 558 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:40,519 ones that will not answer to tyranny. We believe in God, 559 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,480 in a higher power, and we will not be manipulated 560 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,000 by a tyrannical regime. And that's why Christians are despised 561 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,799 around the world, including in this previous administration, my goodness, 562 00:32:50,839 --> 00:32:54,000 and going back to Obama, how they attacked Christians and 563 00:32:54,279 --> 00:32:57,839 eliminated the religious freedom a post at the Department of State, 564 00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,000 and on and on and on it went. 565 00:32:59,039 --> 00:32:59,839 Speaker 3: But that's the reason. 566 00:33:00,119 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: Nothing is secular, and anyone who says there is is 567 00:33:02,759 --> 00:33:07,039 an atheist. I mean you might think you are, but 568 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:13,839 God lets everything happen. Everything happened through his province, his decisions. 569 00:33:14,559 --> 00:33:17,160 I mean, he owns the world, so there's nothing secular. 570 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,000 But if we want to take this from a secular perspective, 571 00:33:19,079 --> 00:33:24,160 let's start here. Real Christianity in a modern sense is 572 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:28,319 difficult to completely politicize. I mean, you've got the Catholic Church, 573 00:33:28,319 --> 00:33:30,599 which in my judgment is right now captured by a 574 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,680 heretical pope. But a lot of Catholics know that there 575 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,440 are the heretical, fake Catholic churches that the Soros organizations 576 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,880 have funded. But again, a lot of faithful Catholics know 577 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,880 that at the heart of the Christian faith is God. 578 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,480 Jesus Christ, fully manned, fully God as he walked the earth, 579 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,880 who never sought government help with anything. He didn't organize 580 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,000 on behalf of government. In fact, one of the reasons 581 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,480 why a lot of Jewish people to this day believe 582 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,079 that Jesus Christ was and is the Messiah that's been 583 00:34:03,079 --> 00:34:07,880 predicted throughout Hebrew scriptures. It's difficult to read Isaiah and 584 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:12,480 not see Jesus. One of the reasons is he did 585 00:34:12,559 --> 00:34:18,760 not form a government, He did not form a military, 586 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,000 he did not go seize earthly power. In fact, he 587 00:34:22,039 --> 00:34:22,400 had no. 588 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:23,000 Speaker 3: Interest in it. 589 00:34:23,039 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 1: He made that super clear. Islam is political. It is 590 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:35,639 therefore easier to subvert and to use for political ends 591 00:34:35,639 --> 00:34:40,679 and political goals. You can say Zionism is as well. 592 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,519 It is a political movement Zionism. Yes, there are obviously 593 00:34:44,599 --> 00:34:47,920 Jewish people who are not Zionists, and there are people 594 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,920 who are Zionists and not particularly political, But Zionism is 595 00:34:52,079 --> 00:34:57,039 used as a political tool more easily than I think Christianity, 596 00:34:57,039 --> 00:35:04,880 which is also diffuse. So you can dislike Protestantism, but 597 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,599 the diffuse nature of Protestantism makes it difficult to organize 598 00:35:08,639 --> 00:35:14,599 into one political affair. But then there's also this The 599 00:35:14,639 --> 00:35:18,519 Lord Jesus said, do not lord your power over others. 600 00:35:20,119 --> 00:35:25,440 What has the CIA become. It's an organization that, from 601 00:35:25,519 --> 00:35:33,039 the top is lording its power over others. What partnership 602 00:35:34,079 --> 00:35:40,800 can darkness and light have? They are arguing, often at 603 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,480 the levels of the intelligent services, at the very levels, 604 00:35:43,599 --> 00:35:46,719 trying to control the nature of truth. What is allowed 605 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,280 to be seen and known and intellectually metabolized by the 606 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:54,840 American people and God himself is truth. When you declare 607 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,079 that you are going to control which truths the people see, 608 00:35:58,119 --> 00:36:02,039 which the CIA has done, you are saying we're going 609 00:36:02,079 --> 00:36:04,639 to control which aspects of God people get to see. 610 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,760 Because Jesus Christ said, I Am the Way, the Truth, 611 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:16,519 and the Life. So why do they hate Christians? Because 612 00:36:16,519 --> 00:36:18,320 some of them are fighting a battle on behalf of 613 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,639 an entity they don't even know they represent, and that 614 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:28,119 entity hates Christians because that entity hates Jesus. This is 615 00:36:28,119 --> 00:36:31,440 the Todd Herman Shaw. Please go be well, be strong, 616 00:36:31,639 --> 00:36:34,440 be kind, and please make every effort to walk in 617 00:36:34,559 --> 00:36:35,360 the light of Christ.
