1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,399 Speaker 1: Welcome to the three Stories version of The Todd Herman Show. 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,960 Story number one, what if President Trump seems so popular 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,039 because you seem so repugnant? Story number two, the irs 4 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,400 says pastors can endorse candidates from the pulpit, so should they? 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:20,239 And story number three when church spectacle crosses the line 6 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,920 the line talk about this with the help of Bulwark 7 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,480 Capital Management, that Know Your riskpodcast dot com And to 8 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:33,560 the great Courtesies of God Almighty, the. 9 00:00:33,359 --> 00:00:37,399 Speaker 2: Todd Herman Show is one percent disapproved by big pharma, 10 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:45,880 technocurrats and tyrants everywhere. From the high mountains of Free America. 11 00:00:47,119 --> 00:00:52,759 Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman. 12 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,479 Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made in These 13 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,040 are the times to which God has decided we shall live. 14 00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:09,439 And people continue to struggle with the popularity of President 15 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,719 Donald John Trump. They continue to struggle with why he 16 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,760 can be and maintain this popularity. And when I say people, 17 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,840 obviously there's folks who are traumatized by Trump, I do 18 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,319 believe and I don't mean this. I honestly do not 19 00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:27,079 mean this as a putdown because what the Mockingbird media 20 00:01:27,079 --> 00:01:32,400 has done has been so unrelenting and so cynical and 21 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,719 so dishonest that I think that Trump's arrangement syndrome has 22 00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:40,959 become a true and real thing. So people with Trump's 23 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,439 arrangement syndrome, of course they're going to wonder, how can 24 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,959 anyone even like this guy or anything he does? Because 25 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,640 if you've gotten the mental syndrome where you are completely unbothered, 26 00:01:50,719 --> 00:01:54,439 say by deportations under figure had Biden or under Obama 27 00:01:54,599 --> 00:01:57,400 or William Jefferson blythe Clinton the third, but now it's 28 00:01:57,439 --> 00:01:59,719 the most terrifying thing you've ever seen on earth because 29 00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:04,799 it's utter fascism, Well then you're kind of mentally captured. 30 00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:09,159 But the people who aren't fully mentally captured, they're just 31 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,319 in the business. They struggle with why President Trump seems 32 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,319 so popular and what if it has to do with 33 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,879 the fact that they seem so repugnant. This is MSNBC's 34 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,520 Eugene Daniels on twenty four elections. 35 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 3: Josh, one of the things that I took from the book, 36 00:02:25,479 --> 00:02:29,159 like kind of zooming out, is that maybe this was 37 00:02:29,199 --> 00:02:31,080 always how it was going to end with Donald Trump 38 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,840 back in the White House, right, because I think, you know, 39 00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:35,639 we think about twenty twenty as like, ooh, people really 40 00:02:35,719 --> 00:02:38,080 love Biden and didn't back Trump. Trump still almost won 41 00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:40,520 despite the fact that thousands of people in this country were. 42 00:02:40,439 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: Dying every day, a million over right, there. 43 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,719 Speaker 3: Was the assassination attempts. There were yet all these things 44 00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:50,000 that were happening that with other candidates maybe would have 45 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:55,280 been a problem. Have we just underestimated Donald Trump's popularity 46 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,319 with the American people? 47 00:02:57,039 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: I believe you have underestimated your republics. And I don't 48 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,560 know you. I've never met you, I probably never will 49 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,159 meet you. I have met Johnny K part name dropper me. Right, 50 00:03:11,439 --> 00:03:15,719 you are speaking on a fancy set for a whole 51 00:03:15,759 --> 00:03:18,520 bunch of money per year to say things like that, 52 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,039 And you just said millions of people died from what 53 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,439 people have cut onto this. And there's a lot of 54 00:03:29,479 --> 00:03:32,319 people who look at the continuing lies on that topic 55 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:37,080 and say this is repugnant, and you're in this business 56 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,159 of doing this. But there's a whole series of reasons 57 00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:43,080 for Presidents Trump's popularity. If you want to just do 58 00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:48,000 a comparison, there's reasons why people can find his personality 59 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,360 difficult or even hard to be around, or even dislikable, 60 00:03:52,719 --> 00:03:57,879 but still like the policies and there are comparisons, and 61 00:03:57,919 --> 00:04:01,919 I think Americans, even some liberals, have made these comparisons. 62 00:04:02,479 --> 00:04:04,840 These people in the mock and bird media can't afford 63 00:04:04,919 --> 00:04:08,199 to get it because if they God explained it. You 64 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,879 know what happens. If you get something like this and 65 00:04:10,919 --> 00:04:12,759 you explain it and you begin to voice it, so 66 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,520 you know what happens to you, you'll start to be 67 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:21,519 more open. So the idea that President Trump isn't Orange Hitler. 68 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,279 He is a flawed human being. We're all flawed human beings. 69 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,800 But they're in the business of this, and business is very, 70 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,800 very powerful as a motivator. Your bank is in business, 71 00:04:31,879 --> 00:04:33,920 and they're in the business sure of wanting to have 72 00:04:33,959 --> 00:04:35,920 you put your bank account there for your business or 73 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,519 your small business. And yeah, they might loan you some 74 00:04:38,519 --> 00:04:40,759 money for your business or small business, but not based 75 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,800 upon your business. They're going to do it based upon 76 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,600 your personal credit. I almost guarantee you that that credit 77 00:04:47,639 --> 00:04:49,839 card you have with your company name on it, or 78 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,800 that debit card, I almost guarantee you that is not 79 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,639 corporate credit. And if God forbid, there's a problem and 80 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,160 you end up getting sued, and that happens a lot 81 00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:02,279 more often than we'd like to think those people can 82 00:05:02,319 --> 00:05:05,360 go after your house and take it from you. They 83 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,839 can take your kids college fund. Get help. It's go 84 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,759 bisible g O b I Z A B l E. 85 00:05:14,199 --> 00:05:16,560 They will get you on the path to true corporate credit, 86 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,040 which grows more quickly, makes your business actually fundable, and 87 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,519 gives you the best protection against lawsuits affecting your personal 88 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,879 savings that you can imagine. They'll do most of this 89 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,800 for you seven ecy steps. It's go bisible dot com. 90 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,839 They'll give you a free, no obligation consultation gobisible dot com. 91 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,399 So the FBI, let's go by a point of comparison. 92 00:05:39,079 --> 00:05:42,759 The FBIS opens a grand conspiracy probe on the weaponization 93 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,079 of government. And what this means is that we could 94 00:05:45,079 --> 00:05:48,040 see a special prosecutor come in to look at all 95 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,519 the documents related to the DOJ and the FBI's targeting 96 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,279 of President Trump, all the Clinton Obama era antics, all 97 00:05:57,319 --> 00:06:00,920 of that. So, if President Trump is popular, could it 98 00:06:00,959 --> 00:06:03,800 be because you seem so repugnant because you told people 99 00:06:03,879 --> 00:06:05,800 time and again he's a Russian agent. 100 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,439 Speaker 4: You told people they've got credible proof. You put people 101 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,000 on your air who said they had seen the documentation 102 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,040 you continue to pretend that was the case. You have 103 00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:24,120 never apologized. What percentage of your viewers who turned out 104 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,120 to vote for President Trump did this because they realized 105 00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:29,519 you lied to them viciously for a whole number of years. 106 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:35,040 That seems really repugnant because you're still doing it. Eugene Daniels, 107 00:06:35,319 --> 00:06:37,600 just in that clip we just played, said millions of 108 00:06:37,639 --> 00:06:42,120 people died from what most people have caught onto the. 109 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: Fact that that never happened. Most people when they look 110 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,240 at a Department of Justice or an FBI deciding to 111 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:56,560 use the huge, almosts unopposable powers they've been given to 112 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,839 target a person for political reasons. If most people grow 113 00:06:59,879 --> 00:07:02,920 to understand it's political, that's going to seem really repugnant. 114 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,920 And then there's this President Trump stood against it. He 115 00:07:07,959 --> 00:07:12,680 didn't quit, He didn't fold. The people who convinced figure 116 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,800 had Biden to stepped down, the Nancy Pelosi AOC party 117 00:07:15,839 --> 00:07:19,319 forced him out with Obama playing an assist. They looked 118 00:07:19,319 --> 00:07:22,160 at that and said, oh, he's quitting, but President Trump 119 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,399 won't quit. That can add to the popularity of someone, 120 00:07:24,439 --> 00:07:28,600 even if you can't stand his personality. There are NFL 121 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,079 football players Neon Dian Sanders. I couldn't stand his personality. Man, 122 00:07:32,079 --> 00:07:34,600 I couldn't wait to watch him play. Richard Sherman when 123 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,360 he was on the field was loud, obnoxious, trash talking. 124 00:07:37,639 --> 00:07:39,360 I hated that stuff. He was also one of the 125 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,000 most brilliant strategists and tacticians in the game. Richard Sherman 126 00:07:43,079 --> 00:07:45,279 often knew the deef of the offense better than the 127 00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:50,519 offense did, so I could admire that while still disliking 128 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,240 his on field personality. So if President Trump is so popular, 129 00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:57,560 could it be because you seem so repugnant. This is 130 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,439 a clip of a guy now in Minnesota state senator. 131 00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:04,879 He's running to be the mayor of Minneapolis. And I know, 132 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,160 I know he's not on President Trump's level. I get that, 133 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,040 but he is becoming a mockingbird media rockstar because he 134 00:08:11,079 --> 00:08:14,399 says things like this. His name is Omar Faty. 135 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,199 Speaker 5: I heard them being called terrorists, we heard them being 136 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:23,759 called drug dealers, we heard a lot of insults. We 137 00:08:23,839 --> 00:08:27,240 heard that they're a threat to our national security, and 138 00:08:27,279 --> 00:08:30,839 that's a flat out lie. You want to know who 139 00:08:30,839 --> 00:08:34,200 the real threat is matter of president, I'll give you 140 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,440 a hint. It doesn't They don't look like our chief author. 141 00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:38,960 They don't look like the folks up in the gallery. 142 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,360 They don't look like the folks on the rotunda. They 143 00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:44,919 look like many of the members that sit in the front. 144 00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:47,720 And you don't have to take my word for it. 145 00:08:47,799 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: Okay, So he's too cowardly to say white people. 146 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:52,399 Speaker 2: Chrise. 147 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,759 Speaker 1: He wants to missa. I didn't say that, but that's 148 00:08:55,759 --> 00:08:57,600 what he's saying. And we all know that's what he's saying. 149 00:08:57,639 --> 00:09:00,759 So let's let the kind gentleman from small you continue. Oh, 150 00:09:00,759 --> 00:09:06,200 why did you say Simonia doesn't matter? Racis see that? 151 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,159 But no, I'm saying Somalia because he calls it his home. 152 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,960 To this day, this man says Smalia, it's his home. 153 00:09:13,799 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 5: According to the DHS Matter President, the domestic the greatest 154 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,320 domestic threat facing the United States comes from quote racially 155 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:27,960 or ethnically motivated violent extremists, specifically specifically those who advocate 156 00:09:28,159 --> 00:09:33,720 for the superiority superiority of the white race, not our immigrants. 157 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,679 We are safer and we're better off because of them. 158 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: This is in a city, Minneapolis, which has nearly burned 159 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,720 down twice in which people were locked in their homes 160 00:09:47,759 --> 00:09:53,799 because of violent riots, and what he's quoting comes from 161 00:09:54,039 --> 00:09:59,759 the weaponized government that took moms and dads who asked 162 00:09:59,799 --> 00:10:03,799 quot questions of school boards and called them domestic terrorists. 163 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,759 If you were told to leave a school board meeting illegally, 164 00:10:07,799 --> 00:10:10,799 by the way, if you were told to leave your 165 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:16,960 trespassing get out and you refuse boom, domestic terrorist. And 166 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,759 then the FBI just did this. Let's just do a 167 00:10:18,759 --> 00:10:22,240 threat assessment. How many viewers of the mockingbird media who 168 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,519 are obsessed with trying to continue to drive down President 169 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,799 Trump's popularity do not understand that they become so repugnant 170 00:10:27,799 --> 00:10:30,039 in people's eyes because of tactics like that, or the 171 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,879 DOJ's become repugnant, or the Department of Educations become repugnant, 172 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,360 or the FBI's become repugnant. Life does not exist in 173 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,039 a vacuum. Donald Trump's not walking around. Is the only 174 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,799 man on earth? If only there was another man. There's 175 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,960 another example. This is Dana Bash on CNN and she's 176 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,759 trying to go at Tom Homan talking about alligator Alcatraz. 177 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,360 And look, you can debate that. I mean, is that 178 00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:01,039 all drama? Yeah, it is. It's all also branding to 179 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,360 say to other countries, don't send your people here. We're 180 00:11:04,399 --> 00:11:06,440 not going to play the open border scene anymore. 181 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 6: This, of course, is a new detention facility set up 182 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:14,399 by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. What these congress people described 183 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:19,039 was sweltering heat, bug and thin infestations, meager meals. They 184 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,080 say they heard detainees crying out for help. The wife 185 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,399 of one man detained there said he has not been 186 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,600 given access to a lawyer. He's been in detention for 187 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,120 about two weeks. Is that acceptable to you? And is 188 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,159 that what you're saying when you go, I have. 189 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 7: Not been there yet, and I doubt a lot of 190 00:11:35,759 --> 00:11:39,879 that's factual. I mean, bottom line is, you know, from 191 00:11:39,919 --> 00:11:41,960 the day one, I've been doing this job since nineteen 192 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,159 eighty four, detainees complain about the conditions of detention. And 193 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,679 I said this many times. You can simply go to 194 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,679 ICE dot GUB and look at the detention standards. ICE 195 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,399 has had the highest detention standards in the industry. But 196 00:11:55,519 --> 00:11:58,720 these same congressmen that complaining about alligator alcatrasts, you didn't 197 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,639 see him complaining about under Biden administration, people being held 198 00:12:02,639 --> 00:12:05,559 in a borbital parking lot surrounded by a fence in 199 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:06,399 the Schwatter heat. 200 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,399 Speaker 1: Again, Trump drain syndrome is a real thing. And when 201 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,480 people can recall that, that's right, they did they put 202 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:19,399 up chailing fences on blacktop parking lots and put a 203 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,879 canvas cover over them and called it home. At least 204 00:12:22,919 --> 00:12:26,159 in this case there is really from the heat and water, 205 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,399 et cetera. President Trump might seem so popular mockingbird media 206 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,720 because you guys are so repugnant that when Tom Homan 207 00:12:32,799 --> 00:12:37,519 can simply answer question like that in fifteen seconds. This 208 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:42,159 is the PBS chief. Her name is Paula Krueger, and she, 209 00:12:42,279 --> 00:12:45,279 of course thinks President Trump is too popular. But PBS 210 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:46,200 isn't popular. 211 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 8: Enough because part of the argument from the administration is 212 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:53,120 that public broadcasting has become politically biased. They describe it 213 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,879 as radical, woke propaganda disguised as news. How do you 214 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,080 respond to that and being part of the reasoning for 215 00:13:02,279 --> 00:13:07,320 PBS and other public media no longer deserving taxpayer support. 216 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,519 Speaker 9: I don't think that Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood is a biased 217 00:13:12,519 --> 00:13:16,039 program that teaches children basic skills around letters and numbers. 218 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,840 And when you look at the breadth of programming. 219 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,639 Speaker 1: That with PBS and the breadth of programming. She goes 220 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,519 on to say she often struggles to come up with 221 00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:30,200 any examples we're talking about with PBS. Is that your 222 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,039 experience with PBS. I don't think it's anybody's experience with PBS, 223 00:13:33,799 --> 00:13:37,200 not anybody who's actually looking at it. So the Mockingbird media, 224 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,320 maybe President Trump is so popular because you're so repugnant 225 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,039 to the DOJ, to the FBI, to the Department of Education. 226 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,519 Maybe you've become repugnant. Maybe you should think about that 227 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,320 and maybe even pray about it. That is, if you 228 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:58,759 don't find God repugnant. Story number two. So the IRS says, hey, 229 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,919 they figured out that it's have this hold on a second. 230 00:14:02,919 --> 00:14:05,320 What's that called when you get to say things you believe? 231 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,399 Free speech? So thank you. No, it's helpful to have 232 00:14:10,399 --> 00:14:13,600 a research department. That was Stephanie. She's from Louisiana if 233 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,879 she's an assistant researcher, what Greg confirms, Yeah, so it's called 234 00:14:17,919 --> 00:14:21,759 free speech. So the IRS has kindly said that churches 235 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,720 can endorse candidates from the pulpit. Well, no, actually that's 236 00:14:25,759 --> 00:14:27,960 The New York Times says, it's not churches. It would 237 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,080 be pastors or elders humans in other words, in leadership 238 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,519 positions at churches, can endorse candidates from the pulpits. So 239 00:14:35,679 --> 00:14:40,000 here's my question. Should they I mean, the instant answer 240 00:14:40,039 --> 00:14:43,159 people would have is, of course they should, now that 241 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,399 this has been made clear. It never was the case 242 00:14:45,399 --> 00:14:47,360 that she could lose your tax coxemption, but now that's 243 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,559 made clear, maybe they should. Well, I want you to 244 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,159 picture some things because I'm not so certain that they 245 00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:54,360 should give into this. And maybe there's some cases where 246 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,440 they have to. But I'm not so certain they can 247 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,759 give into this because I can picture some things really 248 00:14:58,759 --> 00:15:02,519 really screwing up churches if this happens, because I know 249 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:03,879 Satan's going to step into this. 250 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 2: Now. 251 00:15:05,039 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: We live at a time where speaking God's word can 252 00:15:08,039 --> 00:15:10,639 come with a cost. It truly can, and there's an 253 00:15:10,679 --> 00:15:13,440 opportunity to ask yourself a question if you're willing to 254 00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:17,759 pay that cost. There's a new series out from Angel Studios. 255 00:15:17,759 --> 00:15:20,360 They're the ones who made Sound of Freedom and King 256 00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:24,519 of Kings and it's called Testament. So this series brings 257 00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:27,480 to life the Book of Acts. This is after Jesus 258 00:15:27,519 --> 00:15:30,159 Christ went back to Heaven and the apostles or to 259 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,080 set up Christ Church on Earth, but it's in the 260 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,559 modern era, the surveillance state, the censorship state, the state 261 00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:39,039 where people are so hostile to truth. So you'll follow 262 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,639 many of the people from the Bible, Paul, James Phillips, 263 00:15:41,639 --> 00:15:45,159 Stephen Marry, they're all dramatized in this series, and you'll 264 00:15:45,159 --> 00:15:47,759 see them as they live for their faith, and in fact, 265 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,480 many of them end up dying for their faith. Are 266 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,440 we willing to do the same thing? Join the Angel 267 00:15:53,519 --> 00:15:56,240 Guild that Angel dot com slash Todd.

It's almost see it 274 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,960 like a movie in my mind. So pastors give into 275 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,200 this and they start endorsing candidates from the Pulpits okay, 276 00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:31,840 in a situation between figurehead Biden and the Polo CAOC Party, 277 00:16:31,919 --> 00:16:37,000 the Obama Party, that's pretty easy. And that's the point. 278 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,639 If you're in the Bible teaching that God's word considers 279 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,080 the ending of an infant's life, right that what's it 280 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,919 they call that? What's the euphemism for that, a voluntary 281 00:16:50,399 --> 00:16:52,919 pregnancy termination? It's not voluntary for the child in Italy 282 00:16:54,159 --> 00:16:59,440 that this is considered a grave sin in the Bible. 283 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,679 Then you're in the Bible, then you should be able 284 00:17:01,679 --> 00:17:03,240 to look at a figurehead Biden and say, okay, I 285 00:17:03,279 --> 00:17:06,920 can't back in or what they do to kids' minds 286 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,000 spiritually and what they do them physically on behalf of pharma, 287 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,880 et cetera. With all the confusion about gender, you can say, 288 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,480 well God made male, Okay, so you can look at 289 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,759 all this, which is the point. If you're in the 290 00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:21,240 Bible and people are still voting for people who are 291 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,240 adverse to the Bible, then you can't fix that because 292 00:17:24,279 --> 00:17:27,359 you can't fixin problems. And people could say, well, there's 293 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,799 nuanced Trump is a very rough man. Okay, what's the 294 00:17:30,839 --> 00:17:33,400 part where he's violating the Bible. If you're talking about 295 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,440 our laws and that we are to follow our laws 296 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,519 with Romans thirteen, then you can go to the fact 297 00:17:38,519 --> 00:17:41,880 that immigration is a law. There's a way to come 298 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,319 in the United States, and there's a way to not 299 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,880 come in the United States. And if you're stressing to 300 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,000 people that we are to follow the law and tell 301 00:17:49,039 --> 00:17:51,359 the law says break the word of God, then you 302 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,799 shouldn't have to go endorse candidates and people are still 303 00:17:54,799 --> 00:17:56,759 going to go their own way. Pastors can endorse, but 304 00:17:56,799 --> 00:18:00,240 they cannot force Okay, they can't force people to vote 305 00:18:00,279 --> 00:18:03,079 a certain way. But here's how I can see this descending. 306 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,799 Once this happens and churches start doing this, do you 307 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:12,279 think that candidates aren't going to lobby. Do you think 308 00:18:12,279 --> 00:18:16,720 that the DNC or the RNC is not going to lobby. Look, 309 00:18:16,799 --> 00:18:20,240 I know of a very very successful evangelical church that 310 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,599 has a whole bunch of locations. They are very very 311 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,680 biblically strict, and I know that the Trump campaign went 312 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,400 to their state and said, we want to hold a 313 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:35,799 rally at your church, and the elders and the pastors 314 00:18:35,839 --> 00:18:37,759 prayed about this and came back and said, no, we 315 00:18:37,799 --> 00:18:40,000 can't do this. What are you talking about. Eighty percent 316 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,160 of your people support us. Yep, they do, but we 317 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,200 are not going to get into this politics thing. 318 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 2: Right. 319 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: They support you because we are biblical, because we teach 320 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:57,559 these things. The campaign sought to punish them. We're going 321 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:02,119 to publicize the fact that you said no to divide 322 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,720 the body of Christ. I could also see this becoming 323 00:19:05,799 --> 00:19:11,079 pastoral preference, because there's going to be some cases where 324 00:19:11,079 --> 00:19:16,039 there's nothing particularly biblical stake. It could be planning commission stuff. 325 00:19:16,079 --> 00:19:18,720 And I live in a state where real estate agents, 326 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:23,680 real estate companies own Idaho and they run the regional 327 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,119 planning districts and it's ruining North Idaho. And look, I 328 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:28,880 have friends who are developers, and I would tell them 329 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,359 the same thing. So I could see it becoming pastoral preference. 330 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,960 And now here's a new way for Satan to tempt pastors. 331 00:19:38,599 --> 00:19:41,640 I don't want two hundred and twenty homes in my area. 332 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,480 I don't either. I'll think I'll endorse this guy from 333 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,000 the pulpit, even though I know he's not a Christian man. 334 00:19:49,759 --> 00:19:52,799 I do not think pastors should give into this unless 335 00:19:52,839 --> 00:20:00,839 it's absolutely necessary. Story number three, when churches ross the 336 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,359 line with spectacle, and do you know what I mean 337 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,960 by spectacle. There's a ton of pressure that pastors put 338 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,119 on themselves to put quote butts in seats. And I 339 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:14,759 think there's a polite way to say that in the 340 00:20:14,839 --> 00:20:19,759 evangelical land, bottoms in the I don't know tushes in 341 00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:22,720 the because, by the way, if you're an evangelical and 342 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,680 you give in the evangelical speak, if I ever if 343 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,599 I ever see you personally in the chat, I say, 344 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,640 let's dialogue, I'm asking you to slap me as hard 345 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,359 as you possibly can, and I will. I will not 346 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,519 realize that just sometimes evangelical speak doesn't do it for me. 347 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,680 But when there's these spectacles and it's all about putting 348 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,839 tushes in the whatever they would call that, that becomes 349 00:20:42,839 --> 00:20:50,440 the motivating factor and it stands against Christ Jesus. Jesus 350 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:57,559 sometimes use signs and wonders sparingly and tell he was 351 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:02,400 asked for them. There are times in the Bible where 352 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,279 people said to him, Rabbi, show us a sign and wonder, 353 00:21:05,319 --> 00:21:10,480 and he said, you sinful generation, you breweded vipers. When 354 00:21:10,559 --> 00:21:12,839 will I not have to deal with this sinful generation? 355 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,119 You need to be able to believe without seeing. Jesus 356 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,839 also sometimes did things to make the crowds run away 357 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,799 from him. Very famously Jesus did, and I'll show you 358 00:21:25,839 --> 00:21:28,079 an instance of this mentioned an instant of this where 359 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,480 Jesus did do something that caused most of the crowd 360 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,680 to flee, even though they'd seen a massive, massive miracle 361 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,559 and they wanted to see it again and again and again. 362 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,880 They wanted the thrill of that. And then I'm going 363 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,480 to share with you a megachurch that crossed the line 364 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,720 in my opinion entirely because there's something in a massive 365 00:21:46,759 --> 00:21:51,440 demonstration with a massively expensive set. Something is missing. Can 366 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,200 you guess what it is? There's something missing sometimes in 367 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,960 American commerce, and it is a sense of responsibility. And look, 368 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,319 I get it. Businesses are designed to serve their shareholders. 369 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,839 I get that. And they're deserved their shareholders and increased 370 00:22:06,839 --> 00:22:09,039 by the company. I get that. Remember I used to 371 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,039 be a startup CEO. I understand this. I worked at Microsoft. 372 00:22:12,079 --> 00:22:15,039 They get at public companies have this fiduciary duty. I 373 00:22:15,079 --> 00:22:18,480 believe as Christian people we have a more important duty. 374 00:22:19,279 --> 00:22:22,359 Our businesses are our ministries. And look, I don't care 375 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,680 if you're starting out your career and your barista, Yep, 376 00:22:24,759 --> 00:22:27,720 that's a ministry. How you treat people. When people realize 377 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,839 you're a Christian and you've always treated them, well, that's 378 00:22:29,839 --> 00:22:32,359 an opportunity for people to see God's face through you. 379 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,720 Alan Soaps is not the market as a Christian company. In fact, 380 00:22:36,759 --> 00:22:39,000 I don't even think I've talked about it this way before. 381 00:22:39,319 --> 00:22:42,880 But it's definitely a ministry. It's a ministry to give 382 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,559 people like Alan a place to work. He is fourteen, 383 00:22:45,599 --> 00:22:49,240 He's been through eighteen operations. He's effectively nonverbal because of 384 00:22:49,319 --> 00:22:52,160 his placement on the autism spectrum. His brother, Ian is 385 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,240 also affected by this. Amy works there, and she'd had 386 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,240 an ordinary life neurotypical until her late teens early twenties, 387 00:22:59,599 --> 00:23:03,920 then she got autism. The ministry is this letting people 388 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,039 cleanse their bodies with soap that's all natural, made in America, 389 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,480 not a single bit of harshness to it, made by 390 00:23:09,519 --> 00:23:12,240 a family of three generations of soap making expertise, so 391 00:23:12,599 --> 00:23:16,839 that that excellent soap causes people to buy it, and 392 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:21,480 then we can hire more people like I, Amy and 393 00:23:21,599 --> 00:23:24,599 the namesake of the company, Allen. That's a ministry. Will 394 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,960 you join our ministry and clean your body with something 395 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,519 that can also help clean your soul. It's Alan Soaps 396 00:23:29,559 --> 00:23:32,799 dot com slash Todd Alan Soaps dot Com slash todd. 397 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,160 It is a way of doing for the least of 398 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,559 these by doing well in a business it does right 399 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,720 Alan soaps dot Com slash Todd. After Jesus had fed 400 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,680 the five thousand and traditionally, by the way, I think 401 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,279 that's a number of men, so it might have been 402 00:23:45,319 --> 00:23:47,920 ten or fifteen thousand people, because they only counted men 403 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,000 back in those days. So he feeds these people with 404 00:23:51,039 --> 00:23:54,200 the little bits of bread and the little tiny scraps 405 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,279 of fish, and it's evidently a miracle. Everybody sees it, 406 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,279 and he flees. He goes across the water, and people 407 00:24:00,319 --> 00:24:02,759 follow him and they show up. We want more miracles, 408 00:24:02,839 --> 00:24:05,640 And basically he's saying, what you're saying to the king 409 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,000 of the universe, and try this with Jesus walk up saying, hey, 410 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,720 maybe make me a sandwich. Then I'll believe make me 411 00:24:10,759 --> 00:24:14,920 a sandwich, but extra male, Hey, none of that pasts 412 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,319 so on at this time, I don't like ollips. You 413 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,799 got the gluten free Jesus. So they come and they 414 00:24:21,799 --> 00:24:24,960 want to see this again, and not only does Jesus 415 00:24:25,039 --> 00:24:28,519 challenge him on that, you sinful generation, you want more 416 00:24:28,559 --> 00:24:32,359 signs and wonders. And then he says, I am the 417 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,720 actual bread of life, and I am telling you unless 418 00:24:35,759 --> 00:24:38,000 you eat my flesh and drink my blood. You can 419 00:24:38,079 --> 00:24:42,000 have no peace of me, no part of me. And 420 00:24:42,039 --> 00:24:48,519 people flee. They think he means literally, so they flee. 421 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,920 And Jesus even turned to his disciples to become as 422 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,519 apostles and said are you going to run away to? 423 00:24:56,519 --> 00:24:59,680 And I believe it's Peter who says, Lord, you're the way, 424 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,839 that your the life. Where would we go? Great point? 425 00:25:02,839 --> 00:25:07,279 Where would you go? Jesus did the opposite of putting 426 00:25:07,319 --> 00:25:09,960 tushes into whatever the evangelicals will say, or the butts 427 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,400 in the seats, the opposite. He came with a hard teaching. 428 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:20,039 His goal was not to fill stadiums. Had Jesus Christ 429 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,200 wanted to fill stadiums, I think he could have put 430 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,599 on a spectacle. Here is a megachurch and they they've 431 00:25:26,599 --> 00:25:28,640 spent a ton of money on this, and I want 432 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,160 you to look at this and tell me if you 433 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,279 think they have crossed the line, And I'll tell you 434 00:25:33,319 --> 00:25:41,759 what the line is. So animatronic dinosaurs, Alex. That's an 435 00:25:41,799 --> 00:25:45,839 expensive set. And this set up, these caves, these walls 436 00:25:45,839 --> 00:25:48,240 that look like etch rocks. They've got all this ivy 437 00:25:50,079 --> 00:25:56,559 holographic dinosaurs dancing, real animatronic ones run round Jurassic Park 438 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,200 up on the walls production stage, moving head back, back 439 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,240 and forth of a t Rex, little baby animatronic dinosaurs 440 00:26:04,279 --> 00:26:09,799 that kids can play catch with in their lobby. The 441 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,640 lowering is this is the lowering of a calf, a 442 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:21,000 dinosaur calf into moving plants, tons of money. What's the line? 443 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:27,880 Go back through that and find Jesus Christ. Have someone 444 00:26:28,039 --> 00:26:32,319 come from in the Who's of the world and they 445 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:37,799 come into God's house and what is it? It's the world? Now, 446 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,000 I get it. I understand thet The tactic is to 447 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,759 get people in. So then once they came in the 448 00:26:43,799 --> 00:26:46,119 see the dinosaurs, maybe some of them will come and 449 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,519 join you and maybe hear the word of God. I 450 00:26:49,599 --> 00:26:51,759 understand that. And I'm not saying that our church doesn't 451 00:26:51,799 --> 00:26:54,960 do that. We give out Halloween Canyon sometimes that's very 452 00:26:55,039 --> 00:26:58,200 very controversy. It really is you have kids from miles 453 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,279 around who come to our church and they come to 454 00:27:01,319 --> 00:27:04,000 our fields. And one year I volunteered at that mission 455 00:27:04,079 --> 00:27:08,680 a ministry, and we gave away candy to I think 456 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,920 eight hundred one thousand kids, maybe more than that. And 457 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,960 I understand the criticism. And so you can say the 458 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,279 log in your eye. While we're out there, we're we're 459 00:27:17,279 --> 00:27:20,079 preaching Jesus. We are told to ask people, hey, do 460 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,680 you have a church home? We're told to ask people 461 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,519 and kids, do you know who Jesus is? You know 462 00:27:24,559 --> 00:27:27,400 what he did for you? And as we're having these 463 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,079 conversations with families, we actively invite them to church, We 464 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,440 actively speak the gospel. And I'm not saying that these 465 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,400 people didn't. But when you are just the spectacle and 466 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,200 people come in for the spectacle, it leads to the 467 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,880 same thing of coming back and saying, wait, where's the spectacle? 468 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,759 I thought church was about antibatronic dinosaurs. Can't we have 469 00:27:45,799 --> 00:27:48,720 animatronic attack fish or maybe you could bring us you know, 470 00:27:49,319 --> 00:27:52,559 spaceships and stuff, and churches fall into this, so now 471 00:27:52,599 --> 00:27:55,200 it's just butts and seats. Because what else happens is 472 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,599 people get the revenue reports. Wow, we got a lot 473 00:27:58,599 --> 00:28:00,599 of donations. People loved it. Story as we can do 474 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,640 a lot of good with this. The line is this, 475 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:15,680 when the spectacle is put on a bigger platform than eternity, 476 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:25,240 that's the line. The spectacle should be tied tightly to 477 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:30,279 an internal choice, and in something that expensive, it should 478 00:28:30,319 --> 00:28:35,799 begin with an eternal choice. It should begin with God 479 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:40,039 made the world and everything in it and all the 480 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,319 rules that govern it. Because the risk of spectacle crossing 481 00:28:44,319 --> 00:28:48,519 the line is that people come in of the world 482 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:54,039 and they leave of the world. That's not what Jesus pursued. 483 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,400 This is the Todd Hermann Shaw. Please go, be well, 484 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,359 be strong, be kind, and please make it this decision 485 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,799 today to walk in the light of Christ. I'm going 486 00:29:02,839 --> 00:29:04,880 to go home and see my beloved wife. I hope 487 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,599 you get to go see your beloved families.
