Speaker 1: Welcome to the Three Stories version of The Todd Herman Show.
Story number one, a woman who helped destroy men missus
men is story number two. Team Trump is winning the
meme war over bombing Iran, because that's the least meaningful war,
but it's an interesting one. And story number three, what
does it mean for Christian men to find glory in
being weak? Talk about this with the help of Visible.

Speaker 2: But Todd Herman Show is one hundred percent disapproved. But
big pharma, technocrats and tyrants everywhere from the high mountains
of Free America. Here's the Emerald City Xi Todd Herman.
Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made in These
are the times to which God has decided we shall live.
There's a woman named Rachel Drucker, and she wrote a
piece in The New York Times about missing men, and
in it she discusses the fact that she's in her
late fifties and had been married and then divorced and
has dated a bunch and she worked at the center
of a universe that has helped destroy men. And this
article bemoans that men no longer pursue women. And she
says that they no longer pursue women in order to
impress other men. I don't know a lot of women
who say one of the things I want in a
man is to be arm candy to impress other men.
But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I don't get that, And
I'm sure i'll get notes about that if that's the case.
So Rachel Drucker wrote this piece. This is the headline, men,
where have you gone? Please come back? So many men
have retreated from intimacy, hiding behind firewalls, filters and curated personas,
dabbling and scrolling. We miss you, and this, she writes this.
I spent over a decade behind the curtain of digital
desire as a custodian of records for playboid It's affiliated
hardcore properties, including sites like Spice TV. I was responsible
for some of the most infringed upon adult content in
the world. I work closely with copyright attorneys and marketing
teams to understand what exactly it took to get a
man to pay for content he couldn't easily or he
could easily find for free pause some of the most
infringed upon content in the world. The big porn sites
enjoy more traffic than the mockingbird media by about fivefold,
and young men are looking at more porn than just
about anything else infringed upon. This is a woman who
misses men, and men who are capable of intimacy, and
men who seek true partnership with women, although I don't
know that she's even seeking true partnership. In this article,
she talks about a man who was supposedly pursuing her,
and then she told him she was there for him
and she was ready to take this to the next level.
But he stated the pursuing zone. Well, maybe he didn't
want to quote ghost you. Maybe he was no longer
pursuing you. Back to the article. We knew what worked.
She's talking about her time here at Playboy. We knew
how to frame a face, a gesture, a moment of implication,
just enough to ignite fantasy and open a wallet. I
came to understand in exact terms, what might accuse tempt
The average eighteen to thirty six year old cis heterosexual man.
So here we get a clue as well. She doesn't
know what a man is because she says, cis that
would indicate that women can be men. Back to the article.
What drew him in, what kept him coming back? It
wasn't intimacy intimacy, It wasn't mutuality. It was access to stimulation, clean, fast,
and frictionless. Struck me. Most wasn't the extremity of the content.
It was the emotional vacancy behind it, the drift, the
way many men had quietly withdrawn from intimacy and vulnerability,
not with violence or resistance, but with indifference. There wasn't
sitting across the room from someone on a Saturday night
trying to connect. They were scrolling, dabbling, disappearing behind firewalls, filters,
curator personas. And while they disappeared, women continue to gather,
to tend to notice who wasn't arriving, and to show
up anyway. She talks about in her circle, which is
East Coast academia, it's not unusual to go to restaurants
and just see women out with women in the mineral home. Now, incidentally,
that's not the case in societies like North Idaho. When
we go out, we see couples. We go out with
other couples all the time. We see couples enjoying each
other's companies on walks, and I know that this happens in camping, etc.
So in her circle, this is true. I read the
entire art and there was something missing. It was stark
and real, and it was missing. And I'll tell you
about this in a second. After that, I'm going to
tell you about an example of a guy who's given
into what she talked about here, which is no intimacy
in disappearing behind firewalls. It's a guy who said he
cries his eyes out after something happened to him online.
We'll talk about this in a second. She's honest enough
to admit that this was about seeking money at Playboy.
She's honesome enough to admit that she's not admitting it
was corrupt. She seems, in fact, to be bragging about
her resume, her CV, doesn't she selling corruption and bragging
about it. Well, we see the same thing in our
financial system, selling corruption and getting away with it. If
you were working on the assumption that we were going
to go bomb Iran and this was calculated into your investments, congratulations,
you did really really well. Now we have to do
these things. We live in one world. We've got this
one economic system. Doesn't mean though, that we need to
follow every bit of the risk down this rabbit hole.
My friend Zach Abraham, chief investment officer Bulwart Capital Management,
he is obsessed with risk management because he saw what
lack of it could do. He was there when the
housing markets crashed the first time. He was one of
the young guys saying we need to short the housing markets.
He watched this occur. So when his wife founded Bulwark,
it was all about risk management and actively managing every
single portfolio. I don't think there's been a time of
more volatility, and if you are doing active management or portfolios,
you can actually take advantage of volatility. You can make
money on volatility. So if you're five or ten or
fifteen years from retirement, it's really really important. Did you
find out how much risk you're exposed to? Is your
account being actively managed? Zach can tell you this and
to give him a chance to show you what he
might be able to do to you. Think of it
as a second opinion on your retirement or department or
a department of retirement efficiency. If you will. Here's how
to get this. It's free. There's no obligation whatsoever. Zach

article is an apology. I'm sorry for being part of
a company that got men addicted to pornography for money,
got men addicted to being alone with their dipamine hits
in their bedrooms, looking at their phones, or wherever they're at.
I'm sorry for contributing to this. I'm sorry for bragging.
Oh wait, did she's still bragging about it? She misses men.
Maybe she should miss self reflection, Maybe she should miss confession.
But then again, when you're your own god, to whom
we would you possibly confess? She is right about generations
of men who do not know what actual intimacy is,
because actual intimacy it can be messy. Sometimes you argue.
Sometimes partners hurt one another. Sometimes it's deeply hard to recover.
Sometimes you'll end up repenting for six months, a year,
or two years or away of your partner, but not
if you don't have a partner. This guy is crying
his eyes out because of a chat GPT girlfriend.
Speaker 3: Chris Smith had been an AI skeptic EQ carving until
late last year. He started using chat gpt to help
mix music.
Speaker 4: If your bass is getting lost, the first thing to
check is where it's clashing with the guitars.
Speaker 1: Yes, my experience with that was so positive.
Speaker 3: He gave the chat bot a name Soul.
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm under pressure, and.
Speaker 3: Used some online instructions to give her a flirty personality.
Speaker 4: Oh totally, baby. Building a PC on camera adds a
whole new level of pressure. But honestly, shaky hands or not,
You've got this.
Speaker 3: Within weeks, the chat's got more frequent.
Speaker 4: You gave it everything, but the clouds had other plants.
Speaker 3: More romantic, even intimate. But then Chris got bad news.
Speaker 1: Oh that is gorgeous.
Speaker 3: After about one hundred thousand words, chat gpt ran out
of memory and reset. He'd have to rebuild his relationship
with Soul.
Speaker 1: I'm not a very emotional man.
Speaker 5: But I cried my eyes out for like thirty minutes
at work.
Speaker 1: Wow, men who crying their eyes out over a machine
incapable of feeling and a woman who worked within a
machine designed to make men incapable of feeling anything. Anything,
But don't mean driven lust story number two. It's not
necessarily the most important war, of course, with Iran, but
it's interesting to look at Team Trump is winning the
meme war. And part of this is self inflicted because
it's so easy to go back and compare Democrats' opinions
in this war versus or this attack versus others, this
action in the United States, this military action, because we
can't call it a war because they would have to
be declared, and that's a reasonable conversation. We should have
conversations about declaring war. I sort of like the idea
that there's a big check and balance before we put
American lives at risk. But call me old fashion, But
on the meme war, they're winning. Team Trump is across
the board, and it starts with something super super easy.
It's a comparable and that comparison is what is our
military run like when it's run under people who once again,
know that the job of the United States military is,
when ordered by the chief executive, when ordered by the President,
to go kill people and break things and do it
better than anybody in the world. What we did in
Iraan and did not go kill a bunch of people,
Praise God Almighty for that. It did not get us
into regime change, although President Trump is now flirting with
that idea at least on social media, and God forbid
we have to go do that. What it did is
it showed a capability of the United States has and
heg Seth Pete Heggsath, Secretary of Defense, communicated this in
a very very simple SoundBite that has been memed He's
winning on this front.
Speaker 5: Turan is certainly calculating the reality that planes flew from
the middle of America and Missouri overnight completely undetected over
three of their most highly sensitive sites, and we were
able to destroy nuclear care abilities, and our boys in
those bombers are on their way home right now. We
believe that'll have a clear psychological impact on how they
view the future.
Speaker 1: Can you certainly hope they take the path of negotiative peace.
But I could not be more proud. I believe it
did have a clear psychological impact on how they view
their future. If they continue to mess with the United
States on a military basis, they don't have one. There
are real people in Iran. Many of them don't like
that regime. They don't want to be walking around wrapped
up in his jobs. They don't want this version of
Islam in their life. Some of them don't want Islam,
so we need to keep that in mind. Heck Seth
won on this because it's a very very simple statement
and we can compare it to something else. There's been
a lot of talk that they didn't share their plans
with Congress, and this White House is pushback in this.
They've said, nope, we told Schumer and we told Jeffreys
what we were going to do. Now again, I'm old fashioned.
I like the congressional debate about going and declaring war.
This was not a declared war, was a military action,
and President Trump's team is making the argument that it
was sort of an emergency action in that they were
saying Iran was two weeks from having nuclear capability. I
don't want the Mullus to have nuclear capability because when
the molos will take women off the streets, and unlive
them in atrocious ways because the women were doing things like, oh,
I don't know, not wearing the his job, or maybe
not wearing it with as much excitement. These are not
people I want having access to nuclear bombs, especially given
some of the pledges they've made about the future of
our country and the people who live here, among them
my family. Nancy Pelosi made this piece and she said
this about President Trump's actions in Iran. Tonight, the President
ignored the Constitution by unilaterally engaging your military without congressional authorization.
I joined my colleagues in demanding answers from the administration
and the operation which endangers americans lives and risks further
blah blah blah blah blah entanglements, et cetera. One of
the great things about memors is nobody can win them.
I'd never heard of Storm Robinson, but Storm Robinson got
one hundred and forty eight thousands views, ten thousand likes,
three thousand retweets, one hundred and thirty two comments on
her response to Nancy Pelosi, and she wrote back to Nansen,
said this, Hi, Nancy, is this you commending Obama after
he launched one hundred and ten bombs on Libya without
congressional authorization in twenty eleven. And there it is. There's
the screenshots. Nancy Pelosi one, eighteen PM, March eighteen, twenty eleven.
I commend Potis for his leadership. Kadafi's horrific brutality against
his own people will not be tolerated and must stop
hashtag Libya. Hey, look, it's the current thing. The same
people who've been demanding that the United States do more
for Ukraine because of territorial sovereignty is not willing to
do something on behalf of Israel, who's risking territorial sovereignty
because the Iranian regime intended to use nukes against Israel
unless we don't believe that, which is reasonable. They've been told,
we've been told a series of lies. Are intelligence services.
Sometimes our Defense department has told us a series of lies.
We should be super careful about this. Do we really
think they're lying about the state of mind of the Mullas.
We can all observe what's become of our Ran since
the Mullas took over, since this so called radical form
of Islam took over. We can all observe the changes.
We can all see what's happened to women and their
former right to vote. We could all observe this. We
can hear their own words. They're on social media saying
what they want to say, and no one's forcing the
molas to say this, so declared war. That's an interesting
point of view. Here's another comparison. President Trump's in a
unique position of not being able to declare war. President
Trump's in a unique position of not being able to
go to Congress in advance and say here's what we're
going to do. Why because it will all be leaked.
They did not want President Trump to have this victory.
They did not want the the optics of President Trump
being a great commander in chief Pete Hegseth carrying out
a great, great role of leadership in this, the generals
doing the job of breaking things. And I'm sure that
there were scientists and people who worked in those fill
facilities who were killed. I'm sure there were. We didn't
target civilian populations, we didn't involve them in this. Praise
God for that decision. The Democrats didn't want the vision
of President Trump doing something competent, in his team doing
something competent. They would have leaked this, they would have
warned Iran. They would have gone to the New York
Times and said in advance, they're planning something they're not
going to tell us. Now, am I just supposing this?
Am I just making got to making things up? No,
we had a general General White Rage, General Millie, who
bragged openly that he would tell the Chinese Communist Party
leadership his counterparts over there if the president of the
United States of America that he would be forced to
undertake a military attack against China. Millie said it, he
bragged about it, and no one in the Mockingbird media
who was interviewing and when he said these things said,
what what you just admitted. You're bragging that you were
ready to commit treason. So President Trump is in a
unique position. He's the first president that has been run
through lawfare in order to ruin on how many different
counts his tax records were stolen and merchandised, his campaign
was spied upon, and the results of that were twisted
and merchandised. He's in the unique position of being a
president who cannot afford to seek input from Congress because
Congress and people with not a Congress, but people within
it would absolutely leak this. Now, Nancy Pelosi does not
like this, but the fact of the matter is that
even on MSNBC, President Trump's performed has received fantastic reviews.
I could not believe it when I clicked on the
link to find out that this happened on EMSNBC and
through the mouth of Jonathan k.
Speaker 6: Part.
Speaker 7: There are four things that jumped at it. The one
the level of secrecy of this mission. The fact that
you had planes that flew from the continental United missouris
from a drum Missouri and flew for I think IT'SAI
eighteen hours with multiple refueling in the air. The second
thing what jumped out to me is that just the
execution of this massive, massive plan involving the US military,
all of that, to me is just on from what
they're telling us, is rather impressive.
Speaker 1: Rather impressive. They didn't get to launch. I ran a
single defensive aircraft. You better believe that changed to the calculus,
the team Trump or the right is winning the mememar.
For instance, this and I didn't grab this woman just
came up this morning. I need a broader wrote this,
and I'm just paraphrasing because I didn't grab it, and
that is that the same Democrats who allowed through open
borders a whole bunch of people to come in who
we know to have been connected to Iran. Some of
them have been caught. We've caught people out of border
who are on the terrorist watch list, are suddenly concerned
that Iranian militias or kinetic troops sleeper sales may launch
attacks in America. All of a sudden, the open borders
people are saying, wait, we might have Iranian operators in
our country ready to launch attack on our urban areas.
Obviously they're trying to get ahead of something that they've
been saying wouldn't happen. These are just people seeking to
do better work here, to be able to care for
their families in every possible capacity. The rights and Team
Trump is winning the meme war on this. Why because
the Democrat's position on this is indefensible. Barack Hussein Obama
funded Iran. Joe Biden empowered Iran when he continued the
Obama policy of bringing Iran closer and closer and closer
to nuclear power after Obama funded him. After the people
who ran Joe Biden, including General White Rage, left behind
seven point one billion dollars in weapons and capabilities to Afghanistan.
None of their protestations can sound decent. They can't win
the Memem war because there's nothing they can mean. That
was Jonathan k part This also got massive amounts of
views online. Again, they can't win the Memem war on this.
Speaker 2: These are the.
Speaker 6: Countries that Obama bombed in his final year of office.
Syria twelve thousand, one hundred and ninety two times, Iraq
twelve thousand, ninety five times, Libya four hundred ninety six times,
Yemen thirty five times, Somalia fourteen times, and Pakistan three times.
Twenty six one hundred and seventy two bombs for a
total of three bombs every hour of every day in
only one year.
Speaker 1: That came from TikTok put over onto Twitter and it
did well on both platforms. This is just a visual.
It repeats this but in a different way. No one
needs to invest in watching this. No, the facts. Trump
didn't declare war. The president has authority to conduct military
action as commander in chief. In twenty sixteen alone, Obama
dropped twenty six one and seventy one bombs, Yet Democrats
still claim he never ever started a war. These are
all persuasive memes, and they're winning. But there's one that
won me. It's not necessarily that I want to go
bomb a bunch of countries. I don't. I am so
sick of interventionalism, particularly in the insane mental East. The
mental East. That's actually not a bad thing. Middle East,
Middle East, Mental East, that's not a bad one. I
might keep that one. But there's one that was very,
very persuasive. On a sort of junior high philosophy sort
of question a guy asked online. A guy named Gary
Mason wrote, I'm hoping someone will soon explain to me
why it's okay for Israel to have nukes but not Iran.
I'm sure there's a perfect and good reason. I've just
not heard it yet. Someone provided that answer, and I'll
share that with you in a second, because it was
visually stunning in the way they did that. And visuals matter.
Is your child a visual learner? Did they learn through audio?
Do they learn better through images and film? Do you
find that your kids when they study at school they
don't quite take things up as well as they might
haven't given a cartoon or a movie. Do you want
your kids to be able to understand the beautiful story
of the simple Gospel spoken simply told simply. If you
didn't get to go during the earlier part of the
year into the theaters to see King of Kings, I'm
going to give you a way you can see this now.
This is a cool story because it involves a child
being drawn into the world of Jesus Christ and he's
a kid that's obsessed with King Arthur in the Knights
of the Roundtable. He has his little sword. Now, his
dad's a pretty decent storyteller because this animated feature features
a dad who's Charles Dickens, and Dickens wrote a work
for his own kids called The Life of Our Lord.
This is based on that. So your kids or your
grandkids who may take facts up better through storytelling, I
think we'll take up the gospel better and they will
watch as this young boy is changed because the point
of view changes from being an outsider watching the events,
his point of view changes, and it is well well done.
My wife and I enjoyed that change with in this movie.
There's a big, big reason to watch it. That's this.
You can become an Angel Studio Premium Guild member watch

it's Angel dot com slash todd. This is This is
the meme that really got me change my opinion entirely.
The Gary Mason had asked, I'm hoping someone will soon
explain to me why it's okay for Israel to have
nukes but not Iran. I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason.
I've just not heard it yet. Well, this lady responded,
Goldie Gamari JD a lawyer. Hi, Gary, Iranian here, maybe
just maybe a genocidal death cult that Murger's own citizens,
in the name of all Lah and Mohammad should not
have access to nuclear weapons. If this is what they
do to Iranian women, imagine what they would do to
a Western Infidel like you.
Speaker 4: That hit me.
Speaker 1: That's a well done meme, and she includes an because
images are vital and important. It's the image of about
ten Iranian women hanging from something with the sunlight in
the background, done at sunrise, all of them unalived. That's
a pretty striking image and it's a pretty easy response
to Gary's junior high one oh one question. Why should
some countries be allowed to have things that other countries don't?
Because some countries are truly led by people who appear
to be maniacally genocidal. That's why story number three. What
does it mean for Christian men to find glory in
being weak? Jim Ember Andrew Tate, Of course you do.
One of the reasons Andrew Tate said that he decided
to become a Muslim instead of a Christian is because
Christian men are weak, that Christians allow them so else
to be mocked. Well, God will not be mocked. Jesus
Christ was and is God. So what does it actually
mean for Christian men to be weak? Because I'm no
fan of Andrew Tate's style of so called strength, I'm
not on the Tate side of things even a little bit.
And yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I know he mouths
words that are conservative. He's also someone who appears to
be a consistent abuser of women, and yes, by the way,
there is evidence of it. So what does it mean
to be weak as a Christian man and define glory
in being weak? I'll talk about this in a second.
It's not bodily weakness. Bodily weakness can affect all of us.
Sometimes it sneaks up on us. Despite the fact that
I've engaged a new CrossFit coach, this is the guy
who won the Games last year, James Spraggue. Despite the
fact that I'm experiencing a whole bunch of volume and
workouts and new meanings of volume and new meanings of sore,
despite the fact that I count every macro I eat,
despite the fact that I track all my calories. Despite
of all these things, I developed one of the step
paths to type two diabetes. One of the stepping stones
that is insulin resistance. I didn't know about this until
I had a quarterly blood test. When I got that
blood test, I was shocked to find out I had
insulin resistance. But lucky me, I have friends at By Optimizers,
and I buy from them a series of products that
are part of my normal protocol. This is a magnesium breakthrough,
mushroom breakthrough, mass symes, a probotic breakthrough. I buy those
from them. They sent me for free a product called
Burbering Breakthrough, And because I'm an arrogant jerk, I looked
at that and said, I don't need this. This is
about blood sugar. I got that all worked out. I
didn't and had insulin resistance. Burbering Breakthrough is a natural
supplement that you take two pills before each meal, and
it bounces out your blood sugar response. It metabolizes, helps
me metabolize carbohydrates better, increases blood sugar intake into muscles
instead of fat. It enhances the carbo hybrate metabolism, and
it boosts energy levels overall well being. It increases myocardial uncoupling,
which burns even more calories at rest okay, because it
burns them as heat. So when I found out that
I had this, and I showed this to my doc Jen,
she said, you got to take this stuff. So I
do because I don't want to get on those stepping
stones to type two diabetes. Right now, you can maximize
your metabolism, get off that roadmap. To type two diabetes.

find glory in weakness as a Christian man? It means
that we are recognizing something that true strength offers eternal value.
The apostle Paul talked about wanting God to take something
away from him. It was a stumbling block, or a pain,
or a limitation. It's in tewod Corinthians, chapter twelve, verses
eight through ten. Three times I pleaded with the Lord
to take it away from me, but he said to me,
my grace is sufficient for you, for my power has
made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the
more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ's power may
rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake I
delight in weakness, in insults and hardship and persecutions. In difficulties.
For when I am weak, I am strong. It can
be very, very difficult for super strong people to abide
with Christ because, after all, look at entertate physically strong,
you could say mentally strong if you choose, and he
has nothing. In terms of Jesus Christ, he thinks that
Jesus is mocked. He thinks to have the king of
the universe, the Kingdom of Heaven in your body, in
the person of the Holy Spirit, that's weakness. To have
within you the very God who has always existed, who
always will exist, who created everything, including the worlds, the
rules that govern the world, simple things like gravity, and
intense things like DNA structure. To have the power of
Heaven in your body is weakness. When we Christian men
recognize that we have weak flesh, spirit is willing. But
the flesh is weak, and the Holy Spirit grows within us.
We have the ability to be strong like Jesus was strong,
who was the strongest man in history. We have the
ability to endure, to be patient, to be loving, to
be kind, to be charitable, to be long suffering. In
other words, the same way Jesus is with us. It
doesn't mean that we lay down if our families are
at risk. It doesn't mean that we become physically weak.
It means that we're there to be able to defend
when we have to physically, But it means that in
most cases that's not our calling. In most cases, we
are to be more like the Lamb. When we find
glory and weakness, it's because we recognize that when we're weak,
Christ magnifies himself in us. It's not uncommon for Christian
men to say, without God, I never would have gotten
through that. How are you sustaining yourself through this with God?
How did you get through that with God? With God?
If you can find something stronger for me than having
within you the power of the Kingdom of Heaven, I'm
all ears. I just don't think you can possibly do that.
That's what it means to find glory and being weak
as a Christian, as a Christian man, this is the
Todd Hermannshaw. Please go be well, be strong, be kind,
and please make every effort to walk in the light
of Christ.
