Speaker 1: Wouldn't you know it. The GOP loves the mark of
the beast, and most of them don't even know it.
Julie Barrett's Conservative Ladies of America joins us to talk
about the coming surrender to a digital ID. We'll talk
about this with renewed dot Healthcare and thanks to God Almighty, But.
Speaker 2: Todd Herman show is one hundred percent disapproved by big
pharma technocrats and tyrants everywhere from the high mountains of
Free America. Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman.
Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made, and these
are the times through which God has decided we shall live.
Julie Barrett's my friends who joins this Conservative Ladies of America.
Welcome back, Julie. Good to see you.
Speaker 3: Hi, Todd, thanks for having me back. It's always fun
to join in. And it's been a while.
Speaker 1: It has been way way too long, and we're just
visiting my wife and you having interesting back channel conversations.
All about me, I actually know about the world events,
not with me at all.
Speaker 2: About you.
Speaker 4: Is just telling me how amazing you are.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, that's a good one. That's a good one.
Appreciate that let's listen to a guy who knows a
thing or two about buying governments and forcing things through.
This is Bill Gates.
Speaker 5: Well, we believe having the ability to save and transact
is something that should be universal, and a lot of
forms have adopted that goal. We won't be able to
do that with traditional systems. That is the cost of
bank branches and paperwork. It's just too high.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But fortunately, starting with countries like Kenya, uh and more
recently with a robust system in places like India, we
see that you can have digital financial inclusion.
Speaker 1: Inclusion.
Speaker 5: India is a great example. They did a lot of
their own technology which won't be possible for other countries.
And so the role of the Gates Foundation is an
advocate for those who don't have access today is to
make sure there's technology and standards.
Speaker 1: Like a digital ID platform. Let's just cut to the chase.
A digital ID platform. It's inclusion. It's nice of him
to think of us.
Speaker 4: I like that digital inclusion. I hadn't heard that before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's a new one. Because you know, people
didn't have access to the shots or anything like that,
and they don't have access to the plastic meats and
all that. So bill's looking up for us. And I
know there's a lot of people who expected Republicans to
jump up against this and oppose this because President Trump
said no central bank digital currency. Enter my watch. You've
been looking into this, what have you found?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, this really slipped under the radar, and it's
been going on for are actually over a year now.
There's a model policy called the App Store Accountability Act,
and it passed this year in Texas, Louisiana, and Utah.
All of those are red states, Republican majorities, especially Texas,
like Texas is the like we think of that as
the Republican stronghold, right, and these slipped really kind of
under the radar. Recently, though, I've been seeing some media attention,
a lot of op eds coming from some right leaning
organizations in groups about this App Store Accountability Act is
a is a tool for parents.
Speaker 4: And so I started digging into it.
Speaker 3: There's a bill, there's legislation proposed in Congress in both
the House and the Senate. On the Senate side as
Senator Mike Lee and on the House side it's a
representative from Florida, Gus I forget his last name, and
John James, I believe it's from Michigan, both Republicans, So
obviously if it passes at a federal level, it'll impact
the entire country. This is not a tool for parents.
It is a government mandate that would require parental permission
for children to download any apps on their smartphone or devices.
Speaker 1: Right. So that's that's being sold, and that's what's being explained,
and that's true. But the second I want you to tell,
as Paul Harvey would say, the rest of the story,
because there's a big, big, big iceberg below the tip
of that thing. And Julie, do that a second. You
probably have plans for retirements. You probably have an image
of things you want to do, and if you're really
good planners, maybe you've got that all laid out. But
in the behind the scenes, do you know how much
of your retirement AI is eaten? I mean, do you know?
Do you know if you're exposed to certain industries and
industry groups that are being consumed by AI, or are
you super overexposed on things that are way way way
above value. For instance, if you had any ETF involved
in building your retirement portfolio and you are like the
average person, forty percent of what you think is your
wealth is tied up in seven companies, six of whom
are way overvalued by any mathematical rating at all, any
mathematical rating at all. So let me make a suggestion
for you. Get with my friend Zach Abraham, chief investment
officer a Bulwark Capital Management, and Zach will look through
your portfolio. He'll look through all of your accounts, liabilities, assets,
and those dreams, and he'll tell you if you are
over exposed to risk. Because risk management is Zach's jazz.
He loves that it is his gig, and they actively
manage every single portfolio which can reduce risk and volatility.
All of this is no obligation, and it ends if
you choose to proceed. You might have that first conversation
with Zach and go. This guy annoys me. I don't
want to work with him. Fair enough, no obligation. But
if you do decide you want to work together, Zach
will show you if he thinks you should move, because
if it doesn't think your move you should move, he'll
tell you stay put. All of it's free, no obligation,
easy to register for. Just go to Know Your Risk
Podcast dot com. Know Your Risk Podcast dot Com Investment
Advisory Services off their Truck Financial LC and sec wrinched
investment advisor investments involve risk and a not guaranteed past
performances isn't guarantee future results. Truck twenty five DESH three
three eight and Julie Barrett is with us. So, Julie,
Conservative Ladies of America, you looked into this, this this
this thing, this gift they're giving us the App Store
Accountability Act. Man, we're going to make sure the kids
prove who they are. They need parents of permission to
download the apps. And Senator Mike Lea, who's actually pretty
good on liberty, he's behind this, apparently sponsoring this. So
what laid beneath the iceberg that leads you to believe
this is a digital ID push?
Speaker 3: So they have to verify the parent child relationship and
the way they do this is by you and your
child are going to have to provide that identification.
Speaker 1: A m hm okay. So in order for my kid
to be able to download an app, I need to
give the app stores my ID and then they can
verify that they had this relationship. But what if my
kid wants my wife to do this, then she needs
to do this, and all of a sudden, we have
a whole family identified. But it's just to the app stores.
They would never share this with government.
Speaker 3: Right, Well, so you're giving it to the app developer.
Speaker 1: Oh that's good.
Speaker 3: A whole bunch of different app developers. How many app
developers todd are overseas?
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, any right, so probably most of them, right,
a whole bunch.
Speaker 3: So and there they can't per the legislation, they cannot
sell the data. Oh, but they're not prohibited from storing
it or sharing it or utilizing it data farming. So
they're getting this on your kids, they're getting this on you,
they're getting this on your wife. And this is all
to protect children.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 3: So let's say your child wants to download Snapchat and
you're really trying to protect your your child from you know,
these these chat bots and predators that are in these
social media apps. But you think, okay, I gave her
permission to download it, so then it's going to be okay, Well,
all you're giving is permission to download, and what happens
within the app nothing changes there. There's no regulation there
they so it's this all sense of security that parents
are protecting their kids by giving them permission to download
the app.
Speaker 1: Right, and they're building a database of who we are
and who they are. And they can't sell it, but
they can rent it. If they can't sell it, that
means changing possession. They can rent it. They can use
it any number of ways to identify who you are,
such as an ID cookie, cookie device, id IP addresses
if they're fit ips. There's a whole bunch of ways
they can use is to know now who you are.
And when you have this database built because people have
done this because of what kids have access to the stores,
all of a sudden you have let's say a third
of Americans into these databases, it makes it a lot
easier to push everybody else over the top because there's
multiple ways they're trying to do this. Like Apple will
not give up trying to get me to do biometrics.
That that's I was forced fundly to buy a new phone,
And it will not stop trying to get me to
take a picture of my face and use face ID.
I can't make it go away. So what you are
looking at is you see this as a precursor.
Speaker 3: Move absolutely, and in Utah, the Republicans in Republicans in
Utah are already proposing for expanding digital ID in their
twenty twenty six legislative sessions. So they've passed the app
store accountability that they've also passed some kind of digital
driver's license type of ID yep, and now they want
to expand that further in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4: So this is absolutely a gateway.
Speaker 3: Plus, you're conditioning the children that when they want something,
when they want some kind of good, they have to
give up their identity, you know, they and it's you know,
we're talking biometrics, government issued ID, social security numbers. Nothing,
there's no guardrails on what forms of identification you have
to provide. And so where I see this not only
as a gateway, but as a we're conditioning children that
this is just the way that life works.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you look at the way that they're
selling this, and this comes from some work Brian Lenny
did a substack. You sent this to me. The Digital
Childhood Alliance claims the current system place is an impossible
burden on parents. So it's simply impossible as parents to say, yeah,
you can't have Snapchat. And by the way, if I
were to do it, all again. I would have said
to my young daughter, Yeah, the day you turn eighteen
and purchase your own phone, God bless you go have
a phone and you pay for your own data. I
would have never, ever, ever fallen for this stuff, and
I feel bad that I did that, But it is
an impossible burden for parents to say, you can't have Snapchat,
and if I catch it on your phone, the phone's gone,
and we'll just disable phones from having it. We'll just
buy phones that don't put that on. So when they're
going to pitch it that way, that leads me to
believe that it has nothing to do with actually doing
anything for parents, because you just said nothing changes in
the app. So this they said that in regard to
the growth of this stuff. It's not just Bill Gates
saying this. And I want to finish the whole Bill
Gates piece we started the beginning. I want you to
hear this whole thing. Christy Gnome is coming at adults
from another angle. I have a real idea. I had
to such a travel and I guide an Idaho, so
I felt relatively safe on this. But now they're doing
everything they can to make you, if you want to
travel go into those biometrical and so let's go through
the whole thing.
Speaker 5: Bill Gates sit here, Julie, including open source work that
we're providing through the financial switch, which is called motion loop,
and through the Digital Identity system, which is extremely valuable
not just for financial activities but for health and voting
and education, and that's called MOSIP.
Speaker 6: So since there isn't going to be a one size
fits all solution, what is the role that you see
the private sector playing and being able to collaborate with
different governments to ensure that we move forward.
Speaker 5: Well, once you have the digital money system, then there's
all sorts of services and applications that can be built
on top of that, whether it's helping with health or
education or agriculture, you know, giving people visibility into their
financial status, giving them advice, you know, should they take
a loan, should they buy insurance? What makes sense?
Speaker 1: All of these things are available now. All of these
things are available. You can buy apps that do this
for you. Now can buy financial planning apps, you can
get them for free. All this is available. So when
you start stacking benefits on top of this, and then
you look at the pushdown and Julie, you brought this
to our attention. There's a reason that the app stores
meta doesn't want to be responsible for verification. Apple doesn't
want to, Google doesn't want to. Why do you think
they don't want to be responsible for verification.
Speaker 3: Julie, Well, I mean then they have to put in
all the guardrails, right, I mean, yep, they have. That's
the responsibility on these big tech companies. You're you're adding
a whole other layer, right.
Speaker 1: And there's one other thing. They're now lible if there's
a hack. So they want to push this down on
a whole bunch of small developers, which means us as
parents or US as citizens, we don't know who has
ourd data. You're not going to track down every maker
of every app that's under this LLC or that LLC
and then has a corporation that owns it and then
passes the data on. So this comes at the same
time as we're seeing this push it again people into
the biometrics, the safe fireless at airports, et cetera. So
are we just handwaving like conspiracy theorists all over this
or does this look very much like a bottleneck? Yeah?
Speaker 3: I one percent think it is, and we're not conspiracy theorists.
I mean, you you made the point yourself. You got
a real ID in Idaho. We had to get real
ID here in Florida. So this isn't This isn't conspiracy.
They are doing it. I know that DeSantis back in
the summer of twenty twenty four kind of put a
pause on some kind of digital ID that they were
doing with the Florida real IDs. But this is this
is happening, and I think you know, I mean, we
know that this is coming, We know this is going
to happen. But why are people who call themselves Republicans
or conservatives, why are they the ones ushering it in?
Speaker 1: Well, the people going to ushered in are the people
who are going to get on the back end benefits
from tech companies, right, and tech companies can buy a lot.
The real ID is one issue, and this is one database. Eventually,
understand all this this is your health database. Obamacare took
care of that, you like it or not, your health
information went into a federal healthcare database. That was one
big step. Other big steps now are having Facebook and
the tech companies have gobs of data on this that
the government already uses. They use this to find people
after January sixth, they use this to target ads. They
have the Israeli government using data like this to target
ads at church goers. And then we have Christy Nome
in this ad helpfully reminding everybody that you have to
get ready to have a real ID, which is a precursor.
Now they're going to be serious about this at airports,
and this is a problem the federal government saw are
cause and now they're pretending to solve it.
Speaker 7: Hi, I'm Christine Olm, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security.
If you plan on traveling, we need your help to
prevent delays and to prove your identity.
Speaker 4: Get a real ID. Starting May seventh, you.
Speaker 7: Will need a real ID to travel by error or
or to visit federal buildings in the United States. These
ideas keep our country safe because they help prevent fraud
and they enhance security.
Speaker 4: Please do your part to protect our country. Go today
and don't delay. To learn more.
Speaker 7: Go to DHS dot gov slash real dash ID.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 1: I guess I'd love to see the instances where terrorists
have used IDs to come in and be super super
harmful to us. It doesn't seem to me that antief
is bothering that or their drug cartels are bothering or that.
It doesn't seem to me that this is being used
in elections at all, So I guess I'm just looking
at this as another pressure point. Does that seem fair?
Speaker 3: Absolutely? And you know what it sounds like. It sounds
exactly like the pressure point that they used with COVID.
Speaker 4: Get the vaccine.
Speaker 3: You want to be healthy, you want to keep schools open,
you want to see Grandma, you know, you want to
be able to do all these things, So you have
to get the vaccine.
Speaker 4: It sounds exactly the same. Yeah, with the get your
real life so you can be safe and you.
Speaker 3: Can keep America safe and you can go where you
want to go. Absolutely, it's a pressure point. It's just
a different flavor.
Speaker 1: Right, And it's the same players. See when Bill Gates
is involved in this, and he's looking at this is
a platform, and he looked at COVID as a platform,
and he's looked at fake meat is a platform, and
he's looked at seequestering carbon carbon dioxide in the ground
to build proteins with and to fund his you know,
to drive carbondoxide into his big greenhouses for his fake meat.
It always comes with these kill shoots, and then they
don't want to talk about this. This is from the
Brian Lenny article when Casey's Temanski, executive director of the
Digital Childhood Alliance. So A're the ones who said that's
just parents can't possibly tell kids not to have an
app on the phone. It's just insurmountable. Refused to name
big tech backers in Louisiana. She refused to name who
are the companies who are giving money to the Digital
Childhood Alliance. Why would she not want to be proudly saying, Oh,
it's Meta in his Facebook, and it's Google, and it's Apple,
and it's defense contractors that should also raise our curiosity
about this. So what are you doing at conservative ladies
of Americans that help fight this.
Speaker 3: So it's what's interesting about the Digital Childhood Alliance. And
I've really tried to dig into who they are and
who's funding them, and there's really not a lot of
information available. They're a five oh one C four, so
you can't see who their donors are. But they came
online as an organization in January of twenty twenty five,
and they created this model policy the app Store Accountability Act.
And so for your viewers, a model policy is, you know,
they create the legislation and then it basically gets you know,
copy pasted to all these states and at a federal level,
and then they bring online an alliance, a coalition of
advocacy groups. You know, they've got like big groups like
the Heritage Foundation, Moms for Liberty, Family Policy Alliance, big
groups that I think a lot of citizens on the
right trust that are pushing this out there and writing
op eds and giving testimony for these bills. But there's
like this organization, as you point out, we don't know
who's backing them.
Speaker 4: Is it big Tech?
Speaker 3: Although big tech is against this bill, So who's backing
I have not been able to track who is behind
this because the Texas bill, which is Sentate Bill twenty
four to twenty already has a federal lawsuit by a
tech organization that's representing you know, Apple, Google for First
Amendment claims, and it looks, based on the original findings
of the court that they are going to have standing
for the constitutionality of this bill. And you've got a Republican,
the only Republican in Texas. His name's represented Brian Harrison
he was the only one to vote.
Speaker 4: Know and he excuse me.
Speaker 3: He has asked Governor Abbott to call a special session
to repeal this bill.
Speaker 1: Well, there's also, as you point out, there's people that
people listening, like Moms for Liberty, et cetera. I can
understand the desire to protect kids from online harm because
I happen to have a daughter who's no longer a kid,
and God's done amazing worker her life, and she's doing
very very well. She was harmed by stuff online and
we lived with a generation of kids who've been harmed
by this. Then you have partnerships like this Senator's Kristen Cinema.
She's the so called independent from Arizona. She is pretty independent.
Cynthia Lummis, Republican of Wyoming, have introduced the Senate Bill
eight eighty four, known as the Improving Digital Identity Act
of twenty twenty three. This is a twin bill. Look
at this. This came about in twenty twenty three. The
bill was introduced March twenty first order to proceed out
of committee March twenty nine, without amendments and with a
favorable recommendation. Here's what they were pitching back then. The
lack of an easy, affordable, reliable, and secure way for organizations, businesses,
and government agencies to identify whether individuals who they claim
to be online creates an attack vector that is widely
exploited by adversaries in cyberspace and precludes many high value
transactions being available online. Incidents of identity theft and identity
fraud continued to rise in the United States, were more
than two hundred and ninety three million people were impacted
by data bridges in twenty twenty one. So they're calling
for a public private partnership here based upon privacy, choice, equity, accessibility,
and innovation, Julie, because no one protects government data like government.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: Oh hold it wait, how many times has government been
hacked for information? So now it's about being more secure.
So anytime you have organizations that have proven themselves to
be insecure hackable coming along and saying this time we
mean it, We're going to be super secure and super hackable,
that raises the question. I have a theory as to
why big tech says they don't want this, and it
has to do with what they already have, and I'll
explore that with you in just a second. So how
can people get in touch with Conservative Ladies for America
rob Conservative Ladies of America Sorry, I said four Oh.
Speaker 4: Sorry conservative mate.
Speaker 3: They can reach us at Conservative Ladies of America dot
com and we're also on substack Conservative Ladies of America
dot substack dot com.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to play a little bit more from
Bill Gates this second, and then this theory on why
the big tech companies don't want to be seen as
being for this. My friend Tim Krukshank is the founder
and CEO of Bone Frog Coffee. He lost plenty of
people in the battlefield. He was a medic. He was
there to save lives. Didn't always work out, and then
he lost his wife a fifteen year battle with cancer
where Tim kept her alive for about ten of those
years because the doctors gave her a very short time
span and Tim refused to give up. She got to
see her daughters get into call her. She got to
see things. She got to take one last trip to
Disney World because she promised her young kid she would.
She flew across the country, just about killed her, but
she lived. Tim has created a very special Bone Frog bag.
It's called Sisterhood. It's a tribute to the wives of
Navy seals. And on the bottom of the bag there's
a writeup a tribute to his beloved wife, Liz. This
is a lamenta coffee from the Terrazou region of Costa Rica.
It's super clean, high altitude, one of the brightest bright
citrus flavors foral notes as this little chocolate finish to it.
This is arguably the top one half of one percent
of all coffees, and it is dedicated to Liz. And
when you purchase this, you will be giving money proceeds

little bit more from Bill Gates here Julia Verrett's Considered
Ladies of America. Bill Gates praises India's public infrastructure. And
I know what I think of countries in equity and fairness.
Speaker 5: I think of India, every country struggling to find that boundary.
The US is a tough one because you know, we
have the notion of the First Amendment, and so what
are the nose sentiins? You know, like yelling fire in
the theater, you know, and because you're anonymous online, you
know it can be worse. I do think over time,
you know, with things like deep fakes, most of the
time you're online, you're gonna want to be in an
environment where the people are truly identified, that as they're
connected to a real world identity that you trust, instead
of just people saying whatever they want. And so the
idea of providence who sent me this email, was that
really them, you know, we're going to have to have
systems and behaviors that we're more aware of. Okay, who
says that?
Speaker 2: Who?
Speaker 5: Who created this?
Speaker 1: So now, why do you think big tech wants to
be against this bill because it's already being built, because
they already have a whole bunch of this data. So
having all these little app stores do this, Okay, now,
it's all diffuse, it's not in one place they want that,
they want the big one. And this is a precursor
in behavior in getting to that does that make sense
as a theory?
Speaker 4: Oh, I think you're right.
Speaker 3: And you know, if you're monetized on any of these platforms,
you've already given them your government ID.
Speaker 4: Oh, I know, to get payouts.
Speaker 3: So a lot of people, you know, an x X
now that it's monetized. You know, I think most people
probably on X at least the ones that we see
in our feed, are all all monetized. They've all already
given their ID, So, you know, I think in that regard,
that's why you already have people are conditioned to give that.
But as far as to your point of why tech
companies are against this, I think absolutely. They already have
in their own apps, their own platforms. They've already developed assists,
so they don't need to have this in the in
the app stores itself, right, and.
Speaker 1: They'd rather have it diffuse and have all the little
individual app companies have to take care of their verification
because that's going to cost them money. That scale, they
can do that scale, Facebook, Google, those guys can do
this as scale. Secondly, they're behind this platform that Gates
wants to build because it's this all in one thing.
Now they're just going to fight for who owns what sector?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: If the Gates Foundation is willing to go out and
spend the time to build the platform, that's just argument.
Who's going to have the apps? And in case everybody
thinks that this is just me handwaving or Julie handwaving,
I went and found can we agree that the World
Economic Forum is a pretty good place to look into
what they intended you to us in the future? Okay?
Speaker 4: Absolutely?
Speaker 1: So I went and found from the World Economic Form
how they describe digital ID and I'll share that with
you to second and Julian, we'll go through this together.
Did you get a chance yet to go watch Thank You,
doctor Fauci. The more I think about that film and
the conclusions it's reached, the more I understand why no
one wants to talk about it. Jenner first, the director.
He is an award winning director, He's got a long history.
He worked with some of the most powerful people in
Hollywood to put this together. I didn't know that until
I chat with him. Some of the biggest names in
Hollywood backed this thing. And the conclusion they came out
with is you want to talk rigged game? A guy
Tony Fauci for forty years is responsible in their estimation
for in his labs, the labs hes Torun is responsible
for all the pandemics during that time. That's their analysis,
create the problem, charge people for the cure. So much
worse than that, though, they contend that we are the
victims of Chinese spies working against us in a bioterror,
but inconveniently not Chinese spies, spies for the Chinese Comments
Party working against us, But inconveniently they're American citizens with
a lot of power who are also working against the
Chinese government as double agents for us. We're in a
bio terror race with the Chinese Commonist Party, and Fauci
knew these things and hid these things. So it's an
extraordinary movie that actually takes The movie is a movie
within a movie. You're watching them make the movie, and
what's cool about that is you're watching them ract livetime
to research, and then watching Jenner go through the halls
of Congress to try to get someone to actually look
at the evidence that Fauci is a psychopathic killer. And
it's very frustrating but very illuminating. It's called Thank you,
doctor Fauci. You construme it right now at angel dot
com slash Herman. That's Angel dot com slash Herman. Don't
just stream the movie. Become a member of the guild
and you get to vote for more movies like this
to be made. Angel dot com slash Herman. So, Julie this.
This is a digital identity graphic that the people at
the World Economic Form put together. So it starts right
at the top. The top item is healthcare. Look at
that for United for users to access insurance, treatment, et cetera,
to monitor their health devices, all their financial services. Oh,
look at that your money. Food, sustainability for farmers and
consumers to verify products, the providence of products, the purity
of products, travel and mobility, humanitarian responses, e commerce, social platforms,
e government, telecommunications on a personal basis, telecommunications on a
government basis. To monitor all of this powered by digital identity, people, things, devices, entities.
All of this tied into precursor steps like Christy Nome
pushing us to a real ID and then a real
ID that we have to use outside of travel to
get into government buildings and then to open bank accounts.
And we already see care Starmer announce in the UK.
You will have a digital idea if you want to work,
so this doesn't seem to me to be handwaving centa.
What's been the response since you've been talking about this,
You're often yelled at by conservative for saying, why are
you coming after our side? You're conservative, ladies of America?
Why are you coming after Republicans?
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I got into all of this policy
stuff really because of what happened to our family back
in twenty twenty one, and through my connect really, I
think you kind of inspired me to like figure out
where did these laws come from? And so it's really
a gift from God that I have this sort of
obsession or passion to dig into the details of the legislation.
Speaker 4: And so when I saw this and I saw.
Speaker 3: I saw kind of two different viewpoints, and so I
pulled up the legislation and I read through it myself,
and I sent it to you pretty much right away,
because you're kind of the only person that I can
think of that is actually willing to tell the truth.
And I'm so grateful that that God connected us and
put you in my life as sort of a mentor
and friend to kind of help guide me through this,
because you have actually, you know, really been a good
source of courage for me. Wow, absolutely, Praise God. And
so I sent this to you so because I knew,
I thought this sounds up your alley, and I know you're,
you know, wanting to share the truth with your your
viewers and your listeners. And and that was when I
sent it to you last week. That was really kind
of the first that I started to get into it.
And I saw these op eds going out around the country,
especially here in Florida. And after seeing that this passed
in Texas, I thought, I really have to be vocal
about what's going on here in Florida. And I'm going
to have to write a rebuttal to some of these
op eds that have been written by people, you know,
Moms for Liberty or Heritage Foundation, and.
Speaker 4: That might ruffle some feathers.
Speaker 3: And you know, I had commonversations with my husband and
should I name names in the article, and he said, well,
they're the ones writing these opinion pieces, and so it
doesn't seem wrong for you to cite their work and
why you oppose what they're saying. And so I haven't
gotten too much backlash just yet. You will, I will.
Speaker 4: And you know, one of.
Speaker 3: The things is Todd Conservative Ladies of America is a
very small grassroots organization. We're small, but mighty. I mean,
God has been great in using our voice. I'm essentially
a volunteer and my team are all volunteers, and I
know that he will he will spread the word as
he wants it to be, as he wants it to
be heard. But because of that, I don't have any
donors to lose. I have nothing to lose. Yeah, And
I am truly committed to telling the truth. I believe
that I am in this space because God put me here,
and God opens the doors and he leads me to
what he wants me to see. And so you know,
I'm I'm obligated only to God.
Speaker 4: And so you know, if if.
Speaker 3: These groups on the right say we aren't going to
work with Conservative Ladys of America because of your position
on such a belt, well, then so be it. I'm
really here to alert other citizens and and try to
wake people up so that the laws don't impact them
in negative ways as it has impacted you know, you
and I both our families have been directly impacted by
big government.
Speaker 1: Big government, big pharma rights, big media, and so many
families have and you know, I had a friend of
mine say to me the other day. We're talking about
the business and growing audience in the podcast, and you know,
it made this investments in YouTube and that's sort of
paid off. But I think YouTube hates our guts. And
one of the things he said was, you know, I
could see you as part of a network, you know,
like joining one of these big network sites with concerned hostis. Oh,
that's never going to happen. You know, look, I love you, brother,
that's never gonna happen. I am full on idd as
the guy you don't bring into a network because when
the network says, hey, we're gonna go ahead and stay
away from the election was stolen, I'm the guy who
says you might but I'm not. Or you know what,
we're gonna go ahead and play games. We're gonna play
Big Pharma's game on this, or we're just gonna listen
to public health officials. Okay, three days, I'll keep my
mouth shut. On the fourth day, I'm going to come
out and say this is a swindle. And that's so
I'm not going to be part of a network. And
in a way, that's a disadvantage because of scope and
size and we're a small shop and et cetera. That's
where we rely on listeners from viewers for growth. Only
way the growth the show grows. It's for you guys.
But but the same token, I don't have an executive
director putting me on the phone and saying, hey, listen,
you can't do this in the digital ID thing. You
can talk about anything you want, but not the digital
I D thing. You cannot question Israel's move in the
West Bank or Gaza. You can choose not to talk
about it, but you cannot question it. And I'm here
to tell you there are plenty of great, big conservative networks,
great big, huge ones, and I assure you because I
know their hosts are under orders. These are things you
don't talk about. So Julie, stay independent and keep God
as the boss. That's my advice. As your mentor, keep
God in the books, all right. Appreciate you coming on.
There's a link to your work in the show notes
Julie Barrett's hontor to claim my friend Conservative Ladies of America.
I'm sure your wife or my wife and I have
a follow up call about how great I am.
Speaker 4: Something we will for sure.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much for your attention to this, and
thanks for your friendship, and appreciate the opportunity to be
on your show.
Speaker 1: Oh it's a great opportunity to have you here. This
is the Todd Herman Show. Please go, be well, be strong,
be kind, and go make every effort to walk in
the light of Christ. And I get to go see
