Speaker 1: It's dangerous to try to think like God. We can
consult His word in the Bible, we can pray, we
can ask the Holy Spirit to guide us. We can
spend time around friends who are more spiritually mature than
we are, and we can do what we can to
understand how God is working around us to build the Kingdom,
and we can lean into that, and in that way
we can get to know the Lord. It's important for
us to think about how God might view something, and
I think increasingly so in relation to news events. I'd
originally designed five stories to examine in this regard, just
added a bonus one because I failed. I failed to
heed First Corinthians, Chapter twelve, verse twenty six, and I'm
going to guess you might also be failing. We'll talk
about this. With the help of bioptimizers mass zymes. This
can help you keep muscle on as you go through
restrictive fat loss and as a digestive comfort. Have been
using it for two years. It is a phenomenal product.
Go to bibptimizes dot com Sash Todd to get temper
sent off. Of course, we can't do anything that really
matters apart from the vine, the vine of Christ. Thank
you God for making it all possible.
Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one hundred percent disapproved by
big pharma technocrats and tyrants everywhere. Now from the high
mountains of Free America, here's the Emerald City exile Tod Herman.
Speaker 1: Today is a day the Lord has made, and these
are the times to which God has decided we shall live.
You ever lost an entire house overnight, it's just gone.
Think about what that would be like to drive quote
home and it's not there, and everything that had been
there is gone. Your pets, your prized photos of the family,
your guns, everything is gone. And as you drive up
to where home had been, you don't know which of
your neighbors are alive, or across town, if your mother
is alive, or your kids where were they? They're at school.
It's a school, Okay, we don't know yet. In five
states in our country, people have just been through this.
So we cannot do from afar anything to help their feelings.
Only God can do that. God, community family can do that.
We owe them something, particularly as members of the body
of Christ, we owe them pain. In One Corinthians, Chapter twelve,
verse twenty six, it says it very simply. This is
in reference to the body of Christ. If one part suffers,
every part suffers with it. If one part is honored,
every part rejoices it. So I've been doing something this
morning and late last night, quite purposely, trying to cause
myself some pain by looking at some of the footage.
I mean, this is waterfront and you'd expect this, but
it's not your house. Houses gutted completely from the inside out,
and you don't know who died in there. Away from
the water, buildings utterly demolished. God knows how many lives
lost in that particular home. Perhaps none. It's hard to
think of how as collapse on themselves without lives being lost.
As I watched this, I'm trying to think of the cold,
the inability to get warm, because everything you have is soaked,
even in warm temperatures like this, and some of these climates,
being soaked eventually gets to you, particularly on the sea.
And then imagine walking through that house and that's the
bedroom where your kids were when the winds took them.
There's going to be acts of heroics. It's already happened.
I saw a man drive a backo. I should have
grabbed this video but I just realized I hadn't talked
about this. I saw a man take a back hoe
down to the edge of floodwaters, and that back ho
should have gone into the river. Not the river, but
the floodwaters. It should have The angles were all wrong,
the weight distribution was all wrong, and somehow, like an artist,
he was able to reach the bucket of the back
ho out and reach a person trapped so they could
get into the bucket and then safe they come back
in Praise God for heroics like that. What we can
say is that God always uses bad for good. He
allows these things to happen. Maybe it's an opportunity for
us to live our faith. It's not a test, it's
a chance to live our faith. This is another video
of the aftermath, and these are what you're seeing if
you're watching the video version of the show, you're seeing
what used to be maybe a small river, now utterly
filled with the ruined parts of houses. A chimney's chimney,
it's not a chimney, right, And all the eye can
see are former houses floating in the water, and in
each of them you have to ask the question, who
died when that was going on, Whose life was lost
and extinguished when Jesus went to his friend's home to
learn that Lazarus was dead. And of course Jesus knew this.
He knew this on the way, he told his followers
always only sleeping. Well to Jesus, he was sleeping. Jesus
knew he was going to raise his friend from the dead.
He knew what the ending would be. So why was
it that he stood outside the tomb and we get
that famous shortest verse in the Bible Jesus wept, shortest sentence,
Jesus wept Why because it wasn't supposed to be this way.
There wasn't supposed to be death and destruction that came
about because we decided to choose our way instead of
God's way. Now he knew that was going to happen,
but he has the capacity to be sad about that.
We are called to feel hurt when a member of
the body hurts, We're all to suffer. So, cand I
make a suggestion. I hate to say this, but could
you take an effort today, in the next few days,
to cause yourself from some pain by looking at this
And remember as well, though the people who knew the Lord,
who have lost their lives here. They will never know fear,
they will never know discomfort, they'll never again be cold.
It's those of us left behind who suffer these things.
God has thought of everything in that regard. He's thought
of how to conquer things that exist within this broken
sphere because we're broken people, broken by sin. He's left
behind a guide book in the Bible. But he's also
left behind the guidebook of our DNA. Our DNA is
a remarkable thing. It is code that builds code, code
that writes code. It is hardware that builds hardware. And
as our bodies break down, sometimes with age, sometimes with attrition,
it could be something as simple as this. You could
be going through right now, the debilitating pain of bone
on bone, and if you've ever been there, I've talked
to people who've had this happen. The cartilage is damage
or compressed to a degree where your bones are rubbing
against one another. Are you in that case? The stem
cells God created are building block cells, and my friends
a renewed healthcare and port of art to Mexico, the
safest place in Mexico. They use ethically gathered stem cells
from placentas and umbilical cords to put into your body
to do things like rebuild cartilage. Here's what they'll do
in this case, or a case where your lower back's
gone nuts, or you've got neuropathy, or maybe you're facing surgery.
They will look at your MRI results. They will determine
if there is enough live tear issue there for them
to be able to accurately inject up to forty two
million stem cells into that portion of your body, and
then put you in a hyperbaric chamber, which is nothing
more than sitting in a room and it's like going underwater.
That decreases the inflammation. It drives the stem cells further
into the tissues, and that stuff will instantly do away
with inflammation. The stem cells will but then from that
location in your body, they will begin to build cartilage,
build muscle, tissue, tendons, et cetera. This even works where
there's been neurological damage. I've seen the results of people
who were told your life is in a wheelchair who
then walked out of the renewed clinic. Go find out
if they can help you. They'll tell you thumbs up
or thumbs down, it's our e nue dot Healthcare. Please
tell them you're a member of the Todd Herman Show
podcast or radio show or YouTube family. It's our e
ue dot healthcare five news stories. What would God think
of these five news stories? Well, we can go down
to this and this is sort of an endemic of
all things government right now. Do not lord your power
over others. That's from one Peter. That's chapter five, verse three,
and he's discussing here talking with the other apostles and
the Disciples and us. You've been given some authorities, so
don't lord it over others. That's what the gentiles and
others do. This is before Peter had worked with Paul
to become the apostle to the gentiles. Do not lord
your power over others. There is a fantastic series of
articles that doctor Peter McCullough and some guest writers have
put together, in this case John Leek, who's a consistent
partner of doctor McCullum, on agency capture, captures of agencies
from industry who are using their power to lord it
over others. And this is part of this article, speaking
of age he captured. Fellow Substack author Sasha Latprova just
reported the appalling news that George Watts the George Wats
versus d D case was dismissed by federal courts claiming
sovereign immunity. For readers unfamiliar with this story, a perfect
expression of President Eisheander's Eisenhearer's warning about the undue influence
and power of the military industrial complex. This twenty four
year old college student, George Wats Junior, died and an
autopsy confirmed this of mile carditis related to a substance
he was forced to put into his body. He was blackmailed.
His family sued the Department of Defense for propagating defraudulent
claimed that the Pfijer biolin tech injections are safe, and
a federal court just dismissed this lawsuit under the doctrine
of sovereign immunity. In other words, when it comes to
matters of so called public health, injured citizens will have
one blank of a time getting justice from the US agencies.
Uncle Sam is above the law in this domain. In
a contest with him, the message is clear. Abused citizens
are to blank off and die. That's agency capture. There's
this A top neurologist has bulwn the whistle. ADHD does
not exist. It was invented to hook kids on drugs.
That's from September twenty six, twenty twenty four, Baxter Dmitri.
Now that's also comparable to the news that came out
about a year and a half ago that there was
no serotonin problem that never existed, the serotonin reuptake stuff,
that was never a thing. So how can we view
this through the eyes of Jesus. Well, again, it's dangerous
to try to think like God, but we can consult
his word, We can consult fellow Christians who are more
mature than we are. Does God go around forcing people
to do things? Nope, even God, God the Lord, even
he doesn't war his power over others. When Jesus walked
the earth, he didn't need to take no nothing from nobody.
He could have turned people into walking salamanders who questioned them.
He could have made him disappear, he could have killed
him on the spot. He could have gone yep, now, yeah,
you like me. But he doesn't do that. So when
we look at news stories like this, we can go
back to the Bible and say, what are we watching.
We're watching this sin problem of people lording their power
over others. It's not supposed to be this way, and
as Christians, we need to respond in a positive manner,
which is to pray for them. They're spiritually captured. We're
called to do that. Jesus didn't say, Hey, if you
get around to it and I feel like it and
it's okay, and you can lean into it just a
little bit, maybe give some thought to one day kind
of uttered a prayer for your enemies. Nope, he said,
pray for your enemies. Have to do that story number
two that we can look at through God's eyes again, carefully,
Let's not make ourselves into God. Let's not have that
pretense and that form of arrogance. This has to do
with an article in the New Yorker. It's interesting. As
I'm going through the show, I realized this is the
week that we are announcing that we're going to be
in a little less than two weeks, we're switching the
audio platform from anything on Substack is not going to
be there anymore. If you listen to the Stubzac app.
They just can't support our business. And it's frankly could
cost me a lot of money, and probably money I
don't want to pay and might not even have. So
we're moving away from stubs subtac in that way. We're
also going to be putting a lot of stuff over
into YouTube, and we're going to be taking the substack
channel and making it very very intimate, so to be
live chats. It'll be videos I cut on my own
outside the studio talking to you about the things I
can't say here because it just occurred to me. These
first two news story or he is can't even go
on YouTube. We get blocked, We'll get we'll get strikes.
So it gives you the second news show. This is
going to get us a strike in a second because
it has to do with big business. Big business has
become big governments, and that is a there's a word
for that. What is it again, when business and government
become one thing and are using their power to lord
it over others. Yeah, biblically, but what is it? There's
a political theory? No, not common Yeah, fascism, that's the
f word. Well, that's happened, and your retirement account was
not set up for stuff like this. It was not
set up for a time where there were no rules. Fortunately,
there's a guy who studied the rules of no rules
and how to deal with an economic system where nothing
is designed to make sense. That guy Zach Abram's the
chief investment officer of Bulwark Capital Management. If you have
any question at all in terms of your ability to
retire right now or what that's going to take, get
a free phone call or video meeting with Zach and
his team and he will look at all of your investments,
your income, your plans for retirement, and he will tell
you if you're ready to retire what it's going to take. Incidentally,
you should know Zach's definition of successful retirement is knowing
exactly how much money you'll have every month for the
rest of your life. That's his that's his definition. He
does this to risk management and active management of every portfolio,
which can reduce risk and volatility. So just go to
Know your Risk radio dot com, sign up for a
free consultation and know this. About two weeks ago, a
dear friend of mine had his dad call Zach. They
had an hour long discussion and it ended with Zach saying, hey,
what you know what, you don't need us your set,
don't change a stinking thing. Great job you did well,
You're good to go for retirement cost Zach money, but
he likes to do the right thing. Go to Know

Speaker 1: The New York Times or The New Yorker pardon me,
ran quite the article. It's about the highest paid female
CEO in America who used to be a man. Well,
I mean still is a man. Martin Rothblatt is now
on the Male Clinics board of Directors, the Male Clinic being,
of course, an agency that helps lord its power over others.
In this case, the great pretense in this article is
this man, and there are women who've made this case
that this man went through the same struggles as all
women to the degree that you believe in the glass ceiling.
And incidentally, just so for the record, that's real. I
mean in some cases that's real. I had a thing
weird happened to me at Microsoft. It was really it
was actually horrifying. There was a woman there who I'd
grown to be friends with. When we first met each other,
we hated each other. I mean we actually admitted I
think we hate each other. We did that at a
corporate retreat where we were teammaking and we were trying
to come to some agreement. And I said, you know what,
I think it would help us get to the agreement
if we could just admit that you and I kind
of hate each other. And she said, I don't hate you.
I said, no, no, meet you do. I guess I
kind of do. We laughed, We laughed about it. Yeah,
but why, like we barely know each other. Well, yes,
I think you're arrogant. Okay, let's talk about that. I
think you're arrogant. And we made peace and we ended
up working together on several projects. Now it happens that
she is a same sex attracted woman, which is immaterial
to any of this stuff. And when I got to
work with her, I met man, This lady's brilliant. Maybe
that's why I hated her. She's brilliant and so we
did a couple of projects together, and I'd had this
idea and this opportunity to launch a media lab in Microsoft,
so I kind of got to do a little bit
of that. I got to call it the Media Experiences Team,
and I got to be General Manager of Media Experiences,
which was a field title, but man, it was fun.
I had a team of coders who worked with me,
and our job was to make it better to watch
TV on computers than on TVs. That was our job.
It was really really cool we got to do. I
got to be involved in the Arrested development life and
seeing that we did and brought that show back, et cetera.
I never seen the show, still haven't, but people loved it.
So I'm at lunch with this woman whose name is Barbarie,
and I said, hey, I have this opportunity to create
this media lab and we should do this together, like,
I want you to be part of this because it's
a brilliant lady, And so we started going to this
planning and then she said to this, She goes, well,
I guess here's the big question is someone has to
be the boss. Who should that be? I said, oh, well,
you absolutely you know I'll be a I want to
be your second in command, but you're a senior to me,
so you should absolutely be the boss. She goes, Okay,
I wasn't going to say that, but because by the way,
what level are you? I said, Oh, I'm a sixty six? What?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 1: What level are you? I'm sixty five? Wait wait wait wait,
you've been here like twenty years. Yeah, and you've been
here like four When did you become a sixty six
about six months ago? How I threatened to quit? Were
you gonna quit? Yeah? And they made you sixty six? Yeah.
It was horrifying because she should have been my senior.
She wasn't. She's I don't know if I can work
for you. I go, I want to blame you. Actually,
I can work for you, and she didn't. We didn't
get to pull the media lab together, but I got
to have the Media Experiences team. She and I keep
in touch from time to time, and but that glass
ceiling existed. So she went through this, but Martin Rosenblatt
never did because Martin Rosenblatt is not a woman. And
so you can go and consult God's word on this.
Let us make man in our image male and female.
He made them Genesis, chapter one, verse twenty six, And
that's pretty simple. But we can do this a little
bit differently. We can also think about what it is
to vandalize God's creation. See, God made us in his image,
in his image, he made us. He called us this masterpiece.
So you can go to this from a site that
tracks golf, and it's a good morning golf. Transgender golfer,
someone has changed that. Male golfer Hayley Davidson says he
fears for they wrote her. They've corrected that to his safety.
After winning a place on a US tour designed to
provide growth opportunities for female players, he has been accused
of having an unfair advantage because he can hit the
ball further than a female born player, meaning woman. They're
literally pretending that this poor woman is being targeted because
this particular woman happens to be stronger than all the
other women women, because he is a magical phrase, a
magic word, called a trans woman. You can look at
this as a choice that man made to pretend to
be a woman, like Rosenblatt made his decision to try
to pretend to be a woman, and society is going
to ask us to go along with this. You shall
not lie. We can look at it that way. When
you say that trans women are women, you're lying. When
you do this to kids, you are vandalizing God's creation.
That that's not good. We can also rope into this
racism to some degree, and that is that God created
us in his image, all of us, and it was good.
It wasn't good that man was alone, but it was good.
This little girl probably shocked the people who were watching
this and filming this. She's a lovely little girl. She
happens to have dark skin. Therefore we're supposed to call
her black. Reminder that black is not a race. It
is a shade. Why is not a race? It is
a shade? Watch and or listen to this.
Speaker 4: It'd be good for us to have a black woman
as president for the first time in history. Yeah, but
my vote's kind of still on Trumps.
Speaker 1: Ten and eleven year old students give their opinion on CNN.
I got it. I bet in the background, man, can
you imagine the camera people at CNN and this going
back and hey, you know what, in defense of CNN
they put it on the air. I mean, give them that,
give the devil his due they put them on the air.
We continue to look at how God would view these
news stories and just let's just remember that it's dangerous
to think you're thinking like God. The Consultant's word. We
spend time around his people, particularly people who are more
spiritual mature than we are. We look at how God
is working to build the Kingdom in our midst We
do what we can to work alongside Him to build
the Kingdom. We pray we have the Holy Spirit to
guide us. Here's an example of a godly view of something,
and I think an ungodly view. So godly this is
next to Clenson is remember that. So we're to care
for the temple, and part of that is keeping the
temple clean. So here's here's a couple ways to do this.
Go right now and go to any grocery store, drug store.
Walk down the soap aisle. It's all the same, it
smells a little bit of difference. It's probably all made
in China, and you might find some sort of artisan
stuff and it says artisan soap. And then you do
the research and go, wait a minute, hold on, this
is Pfizer Consumer Health. It's yeah, they pretend it's artisan
and they probably back causes you don't agree with, like
abortion and wrong sex hormones for kids and DEI and
CRT and all that. On the other end of the
spectrum completely is Alan Soaps. It is artisan. It is
created by a family with three generations of soap, big expertise,
and they do back your values. In the very person
of Allan thirteen, he's been through eighteen operations. He is
effectively nonverbal because of being so high up on the
spectrum of autism. And he helps design the soaps, the
fragrances of the soaps. This family from Europe, there's three
generations of family from Europe. They make the soaps. It
is also all natural everything in it. There's no chemicals,
it's all natural. It's extremely gentle, and when you purchase it,
you are backing things like the Special Olympics. You are
backing things like programs for kids like this, and you
are employing not just Alan, but Ian and another now
young woman who works there because the goal of the
company is to be a workplace for people that the
party would rather have had aborted, and they really did
try to kill Alan. See the difference. Go to alansoaps
dot com slash Todd. Commit to do this today. No
more of that. That big company doesn't care, doesn't care
about lives coming into your house. They'll ship you this
soap Alan Soaps dot Com slash Todd. You get ten
percent off everything there Alan Soaps dot Com slash Todd.
This might be YouTube save there is Oh wait, no
it's not. Ah, this is going to be such an
interesting experiment. See, these are the things that we can
go deep in on substack when we make this move
over of YouTube. So subsection get really cool because the
live chats and the really intimate stuff. But again, I
can't do this on YouTube. Use honest weights and measures Levitigus,
Chapter nineteen thirty five through thirty six. Gosh, what should
I What could I be talking about? From the Los
Angeles Times with an election looming, the US is approving
citizenship applications at the fastest speed in years. What why?
You shall not lie, You shall not lord your power
for others. You shall use honest weight and measures. Roman
thirteen is pretty consistently put in the face of evangelical Christians. Oh,
you're not going to agree with the government. Touh, You're
not going to let them look at your text messages
Roman thirteen. Got to respect the authorities. True, we also
have a constitution. We also have ways in which votes
are to count to not count. We're also to look
with our own eyes and the own skepticism God gave us,
and to say, gosh, why are they rushing people into
citizenship so they can rush them on the voter rolls?
And then we're to do something that's even harder. I think. See,
we can watch the rigging. We saw the drop boxes.
We all saw that coming. Many of you saw the
mail in ballot phenomena, saying oh, here comes the voter fraud.
Particularly anybody who's lived in forced mail in voting states.
We know how that works. We're used to, Oh, we
haven't figured out who won yet. The accounting is going
to take I don't know, two three months days. But
we're called to do something else in relation to they
are called to use honest wage and measures. They're supposed
to follow the authorities. The Constitution of the United States
is our authority. They're not to lie, they're not to
empower coveting, and they're coveting when they want to take
away our votes within the Electoral College, or rather our
power within the Electoral College when they have twenty three
to twenty eight fraudulents congressional seats. That's the result of
coveting and theft and lying. Those seats are in and
of themselves a result of sin problems. So what do
we have to do in this? I mean, yeah, we
call it out, We seek for redress on this. We
use the First Amendment to speak about it. We pressure
Republican governors to do what they can in their states
to law collection down. We go back to the relatively
sane method we use in North Idaho, which as we
all vote on the same day. Unless you can make
a compelling case to get an absentee ballot. You show up,
you have your ID checked three times, your signature check twice.
It's always the same ladies who are doing this. And
if you want to go watch that, just ask a
couple months in advance. You can observe the counting. You
can sit there and watch every ballot counted. So what
else are we asked to do? To trust? To trust
that God is using this, he knows what's going on.
At no point in time did God step back from
this and go, oh, shoot, immigration, I didn't think of that.
He knows. So we're called to trust that God is
allowing this to happen for our own good. But how
could this be good for us to watch the United
States being overthrown by degree through the electoral College. Maybe
it's this, Maybe the flag has become our God. Maybe
we care more about the country than we do. Souls,
What the Lord your God, with your entire heart, mind
and strength, worship him and him only. Maybe God is
revealing this to us that look, you can worship that thing.
You can go beyond loving a country and you can
worship it. You can think that the help is coming
from Washington, DC. And you will not be loving me
with all your heart and mind strength. You'll be loving
the flag what America used to be. And God might
well decide that these are the ends of fair elections.
What will we do? It's utterly terrifying, just like it
was in the time of Jesus, when people lived under
Roman rule, and some of the greatest advance is in
the Kingdom of Heaven occurred. Some of the greatest thinkers existed,
some of the greatest inventions were created, some of the
strongest family units were cemented together.
Speaker 2: Some of the.
Speaker 1: Greatest love stories started proceeded wrapped up beautifully. People began
having the free gift of redemption, being able to live
forever and ever with the Lord Jesus. All that happened
under Roman rule, corruption, and people somehow find a way
to trust. So we're called to trust God. Another way
we can look at this now, this story number four,
this has to do once again with race. This, this
twisted way of thinking of the human race. Race should
be interesting, Like if you've ever gotten to know someone,
say on an airplane flight where you're trapped together and
you ask questions of people, and sometimes people find that
uncomfortable and you ask questions and it goes beyond. So
what do you do for a living?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: I was on this. I was on a rental car
bus and I sat down and they made a sit good.
Bus was packed, and I sat down next to this
young lady and I saw that she had a Microsoft
staff bag. I know what that stuff looks like. So
I sat down next to her. And she was young,
and she was on a phone, and I saw that
she had a second phone. I go, okay, see yep, yep,
she's a softie. And she said to me. She turned
to me, and she said, hey, when we get there,
do you mind if I get up first. I was
supposed to be on a flight like five minutes ago,
and Alaska Airline is always boards earlier. I said, yeah,
you hit it back to red. She laughed. She goes, yeah,
how'd you know? I go work there for a long time.
I understand the signs, and so I said, hey, how
are things by the way at Microsoft? And she said,
oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, it's hired to fire.
I go, what does that mean? She goes, we just
hire people in order to fire them. Why what good
makes it harder to hire through competitors? That's a thing
that's you're living through that. Yeah, it's really not a
great environment right now. Would you like your job?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: I love my job. Are you coder? She goes, yeah,
but I really don't get to code that much. When
you do get to code, I love it. And hey,
I know you can't say a lot and I wouldn't
want you to, but you know what the visionary you're
working in, Well, I do cloud stuff. Okay, as you're
you're pretty safe. She goes, yeah, you know, it's an
important job and I'm lucky that way. And she's what
was it like when you were there? So I shared
her through what it was like when I was there,
and she laughed. I told her some stories about one
of the senior executives throwing a full coke can at
a guy's head and beating him in the head, and
that guy could have worked there forever, I mean, and
in defense of the executive he went and apologized immediately,
Oh my gosh, I can't believe I did that. I'm
so sorry. There was a corporate attorney there who said, yeah,
you could add to that. By the way, you've got
a job for life. She laughed and said, okay, well
it's not quite that bad. And then she said something
really really interesting. Because we were going through all these
security gates at the San Diego airport, she said, wow,
I didn't know that getting to my flight was going
to be the hero's journey. I said, please tell me
you said that because you've actually read about the hero's journey.
She was, oh, yeah, yeah, of course I have cool
a coder who gets story. Oh well, I grew up
in India. Story is a big deal. Cool bus stops,
door opens, She says, hey, great chat, Please good luck
getting to your flight there where it's gone. She's from India.
Story is a big thing, no idea her name. I'll
never see her again in my life, but her background
is interesting. Race should be interesting. It should contain elements
of culture and myth and story and music and borders
and political theory and family relationships and how families work,
and who's the head of the household if there is one,
what's the relationship with extended family? Color can be beautiful,
but the colors white and black can't be all that
interesting unless they really talented artist puts them together like
an esher. So they've taken race and they've made it
color because it's easier to divide. I love seeing black
people speak about this, and I love to be affirmed
in my belief that we're really not the inexorably racist
country that everybody wants us to believe to be.
Speaker 2: Heyo, former ESPN announce you say steel breaks down a
fear of black voters.
Speaker 5: Well women about my A black woman came up and
wanted to tell me how scared she is for herself,
her family, and our country if Kamala Harris is elected.
I've been here in Tennessee. I've been in Mississippi, I've
been in Texas, and I've been in Atlanta over the
last week. The number of black people who've come up
to me and said exactly that is astounding. And their
message is, what do they think? We all vote the
same and aren't smart enough to think for ourselves, aren't
smart enough to bring an ID to vote you guys.
It's so sad, but it's good that there's a groundswell
for this, And I just wanted everybody out there, people
who look like me and people who don't know you
are not alone, and you gotta do something about that fear.
You can't just sit quietly, talk to your friends, talk
to your neighbors, and do not allow them to take
you for granted because of the color of your skin.
So we've got a fight on our hands. And I
just hope and pray that you guys get out there
and vote to do the right thing. Don't vote on
personality or feelings. You vote on policy and what's best
for our country. So you're not alone.
Speaker 2: I think it's not illegal.
Speaker 3: Yet.
Speaker 1: I love videos like that just because it's just whoever
and responding to something said, she will say, I don't
mean to discount that man. Whoever, maybe he's a very
big deal on TikTok. Maybe it's a bigger platform than
I do. So how can we think about this from
a god the perspective for the spirit of God, the
spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but
gives us power, love and self discipline. Two Timothy, Chapter one,
verse seven. And these people are exercising that self discipline
in being unafraid to speak. And black people have been
shown for many, many decades, you don't come out and
admit your conservative or that you're thinking of voting for
Donald Trump. But earlier in the show, we had a
little girl do it ten or eleven years old. It
would be nice to have a so called first black
female president. But I'm voting for Trump, or she's not voting,
but I lean towards Trump at this point, ten eleven
year old girl, black girl. And there's that color, which
isn't a race. White isn't a race either. Get to
the last story here, and it's something on which conservatives
are really really divided. It has to do with changing
your brain chemistry. And there's some debate in Christian circles
about how to treat this and how to view stuff
like this when you compare it to all that's being
done to America. Though, I think there's a pretty pretty
easy way to come down against what this proposal is
in Florida. I'll tell you about this in a second.
And look, I changed my brain chemistry. I'm not here
to tell you I don't. I don't choose to use
drugs like marijuana or fentanyl or cocaine or meth or
anything like that. I don't drink alcohol, but I do
change my brain chemistry with caffeine. And it used to
be that I would do this with stuff. I think
I purposely made it gross. I think it was passive aggressive.
I think I was really really tired of doing morning radio.
I loved it, don't get me wrong. It was a blessing,
and I'm deeply thankful for that opportunity and all that
work and the money and the security and getting to
know a bunch of you that way, And we wouldn't
have this show or the two national radio shows without that.
But I did kind of get tired of having to
be on at four o'clock in the morning and show
prep and then on at six o'clock in the morning.
I'm blasting out, you know, so I think it was
kind of a protest vote of taking a mason jar
and filling it with three or four scoops of Folger's
coffee and chugging it, and I kind of badge of honor.
I guess so now that I actually enjoy my coffee
because I get it from bone Frog Coffee at Bonefrog
Coffee dot com slash todd, and because I'm friends with
the owner CEO, Tim Krukshank, who's a retired Navy seal
did three deployments on our behalf. He's the real deal
in that regard. He was a buds instructor. He made
it through that thing and thrived. And he puts God
Country team on every bag. So I've got that great feeling.
The coffee's made by coffee legend, or at least he
mentors the teams on the roast. He does make some
of the roasts. I enjoy the coffee, but I tell
you it does change brain chemistry. If you are given
to depression or laziness, can I suggest that you take
this great, great common blessing of caffeine that God gave
us and try this. And I ain't no doctor, a
goat check at the doctor if you really are concerned
about this. But for me, high doses of caffeine have
been a real God sends. It helps me in the
gym and it helps me as well in life. So
you may as well have coffee that tastes good or
taste great. In the best coffee I've ever had. Go
to Bonefrog Coffee dot com slash todd. If you're brand new,
get this six fraut samples. Get the sample pack, then
figure out which are the coffees you love. It's in
ca cup, it's in French roast, it's in drip, it's

what exactly causes you to want to spend more money
on it? Why do you want more expensive coffee? Go

could call me a hypocrite. I'm talking about changing my
brain chemistry, and I'm going to criticize other people doing it. Yeah,
because there is a difference caffeine making you alert and awake,
being an antioxidant. To me, it's different from this Florida
Baptist church. They brought it in a speaker named Nikki Freed,
chairwoman of the state's Democrat party. This is a Harris
Waltz rally. And it was at this Saint John First
Missionary Baptist Church. And she's here talking about a very
very important ballad initiative good for all the people Democrats
up and down the valley. Other things on the ballot.
Speaker 2: We've got an even four you've all heard about.
Speaker 5: And we've got an em A three to finally legalize
cannabis here in the state of Florida.
Speaker 1: So legalizing cannabis, and she means, of course pot. She
doesn't want to say that, or marijuana because cannabis sounds better. Biblically,
we can turn to Ephesians Chapter five, verses fifteen through twenty.
Be very careful then, how you live, not as one wise,
but wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the
days are evil. Therefore, do not be foolish, but understand
what the Lord's will is. Do not get drunk on wine,
which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the spirit
speaking to one another with psalms, hymns and songs from
the spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to
the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for
everything in the name of your Lord, Jesus Christ. There's
so much in here that is a command to sing
and make music to the Lord. So those of us
in church who have difficulties sometimes singing along with the
bands or the music or the hymns, we're told to
do that. But there's also this do not get drunk
on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with
this spirit. Okay, you could extend wine into marijuana. And
what they're saying here is don't be ineberated. I don't
know about you. I found that when I was a
food addict, I couldn't eat just one big mac. My
thing my drugg at choice was a double quarter pounder
with cheese actually, and I couldn't eat just one of them. Likewise,
with chips, things like that, it's very difficult for me.
My big drug is sugar. Now, if you are someone
who is drinking a lot, obviously that's hard to get
off on your own. I hope you'll seek help, but
think about the priorities of the Democrat Party more intoxicants,
because Americans just aren't intoxicated enough. We need more of it.
I'll say this again, there is not a single policy
prescribe at the Democrat Party that doesn't stand fully and
completely adverse to God's will. Not one, Oh, well, taxes,
We're to pay our taxes right, and not for things
like abortion or wrong sex hormones, or to empower coveting
through the first read your distribution of our monies from
people who never held slaves to people who never were slaves. Lord,
thank you for your word, Thank you for creating it
as a guidepost in a way for us to take
all spirits captive through you. This is the Totterman Show.
Please go, be well, be strong, be kind, and please
make every effort to walk in the light of Christ.
