1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: Welcome to the three Stories version the Todd Herman Show. 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:08,160 Story number one Axios says Trump has killed race relations 3 00:00:08,199 --> 00:00:12,279 in the United States. Story number two Elon versus President Trump, 4 00:00:12,359 --> 00:00:19,039 a Christian response, And story number three The Good, the 5 00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:22,960 Bad and the Ugly a pastoring. We'll talk about this 6 00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:24,679 courtesy of God Almighty. 7 00:00:26,679 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one disapproved by big Pharma 8 00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:38,399 technocorrats in Tyrn, Cebrian where from the high mountains of 9 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:46,320 Free America, here's the Emerald City exime Todd Herman. 10 00:00:55,799 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made, and these 11 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,479 are the times to which God has decided we shall live. 12 00:01:02,439 --> 00:01:06,560 I know that there is the Elon and Trump thing, 13 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,519 and we'll get to that today. And I got to 14 00:01:09,519 --> 00:01:11,480 tell you, I don't have a ton to say about it. 15 00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:15,959 So I turned to God's word, because God has lots 16 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,239 to say about stuff like this, quarreling and arguing. I 17 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,159 do have a lot to say about race relations. And 18 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,239 there is a piece in Axios that's a headlined like 19 00:01:27,239 --> 00:01:32,200 a pendulum. Pendulum, how America's racial reckoning unraveled. And guess 20 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,439 how it happened. It wasn't when Barack Hussein Obama, who 21 00:01:36,519 --> 00:01:41,879 was trained under Sololynsky's writings, who considered Sololinsky his community 22 00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:48,840 community organizing guru, went out to stoke racism. You know 23 00:01:48,879 --> 00:01:51,280 he's a you gotta a weird sound of name. And 24 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:52,920 did you hear he's black? 25 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:54,719 Speaker 2: Uh? 26 00:01:55,519 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: And Trayvon Martin looks like my son, and the police 27 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,719 act stupidly and hispanics. You need to punish your enemies. 28 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,120 Remember that. That wasn't it. It wasn't when he brought 29 00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:12,439 Black Lives Matter Incorporated into the White House prior to 30 00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:16,080 the launch of that attack around the death of Michael Brown, 31 00:02:16,199 --> 00:02:18,960 after Michael Brown tried to unalive a police officer. That 32 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:25,039 wasn't it. It was not when the people who ran 33 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,400 Joe Biden took good words like diversity and equity and 34 00:02:29,439 --> 00:02:34,639 inclusion and made them into bad policy, full on racist policy, 35 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:40,599 such as denying aid to white people and creating unemployment 36 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,280 programs and government aid programs specifically for black people, or 37 00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:48,319 the blatant racism of Harvard University doing everything they could 38 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,080 to block Asian men from getting into the schools so 39 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,759 that they could get more black men in. That wasn't it. 40 00:02:55,759 --> 00:02:58,960 It wasn't what Carol Swain had predicted when she wrote 41 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,599 her book about the new white supremacy. She's an academic. 42 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,840 Prior to that, she was a pretty a political academic. 43 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,479 She simply looked at the ctity, what's causing this? Why 44 00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:12,039 is there a resurgence? What she determined was because of 45 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:18,240 the racism of DEI type programs. But no, it's obviously 46 00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:22,680 not that it's Trump axios. This is part of the peace. 47 00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:26,479 The America that marched for George Floyd five years ago 48 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,400 is gone very beneath a blackclash that has hardened for 49 00:03:29,479 --> 00:03:33,319 now into a new political and cultural order. Why it matters. 50 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,280 Floyd's murder by Minneapolis police officer shocked the national conscience, 51 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,439 But what looked like historic momentum for racial justice has collapsed, 52 00:03:40,759 --> 00:03:43,080 the eclipsed by a reactionary movement backed by the full 53 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,120 force of the US government. Still, activists aren't giving up. 54 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,599 They're recharging and refocusing their efforts, shifting from mass protests 55 00:03:49,639 --> 00:03:52,719 to defending what remains, implanting the seeds of what's next. 56 00:03:53,159 --> 00:03:55,599 The fight has moved from the streets to the margins, 57 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,439 in courtrooms and classrooms, in city council's. A quieter form 58 00:03:58,479 --> 00:04:01,360 of resistance is taking shape out of the spotlight, but 59 00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:05,319 no less determined, just pausing. There was at no time 60 00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:08,560 a nation that marched for George Floyd. That never happened. 61 00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:12,719 There were people who march for what they thought was 62 00:04:12,759 --> 00:04:17,120 George Floyd, a nation that did not understand and still 63 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,800 to this day, does not understand that George Floyd, at 64 00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:26,360 best participated in his death, at worst caused it. As 65 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,439 we now know, there was no collapse of the airway. 66 00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:33,480 Derek Chauvin did not collapse the airway of George Floyd. Now, 67 00:04:34,079 --> 00:04:36,920 I hated that video. That was one of the most 68 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,759 awful things I've ever watched in my life. I felt 69 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,279 just like many of the bystanders saying, do something, get 70 00:04:43,319 --> 00:04:46,240 him off that hot payment pavement, pick him up, cool 71 00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:51,439 him down, do something. And the jury has delivered a 72 00:04:51,439 --> 00:04:55,800 response and Derek Chauvin is still in prison. But there 73 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,480 was never a time when the nation march for George Floyd, 74 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,600 and those people who did did not understand that George 75 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,639 Floyd was a very, very violent man. Now there are 76 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,879 statues of George Floyd, a man who famously held a 77 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,839 weapon to the belly of a pregnant woman. So that 78 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,279 wasn't it. It wasn't a nation, and it wasn't about 79 00:05:15,319 --> 00:05:17,519 George Floyd. It was about the vision, which is what 80 00:05:17,639 --> 00:05:20,959 DEI has been used for. It's been used as a cudgel. 81 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,360 It's been used to tell white people you are oppressors. 82 00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:27,000 No matter what you do, you cannot be on racist. 83 00:05:27,079 --> 00:05:29,000 You have to be anti racist, which means you have 84 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,639 to fashion in yourself some form of anti white sentiment. 85 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,959 I've been in media companies where we've had race based 86 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,079 struggle sessions and I was the one person who asked 87 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,600 during a meeting, Hey, what's black privilege? And the trainer 88 00:05:45,639 --> 00:05:47,319 didn't like that at all. She said, well, there's no 89 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,360 such thing as black privilege. I said, no, I'm sorry. 90 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,279 If there's white privilege, there's black privilege. She didn't like that. 91 00:05:52,319 --> 00:05:54,759 She also didn't like when I raised my hand and said, hey, 92 00:05:54,759 --> 00:05:58,079 when's it my turn to present? What are you talking about? 93 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,240 This is my presentation? Well, equity, Well I'm a trained 94 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,399 presenter on this topic. Well, you know what, we don't 95 00:06:03,399 --> 00:06:04,720 all start at the same place, so I should have 96 00:06:04,759 --> 00:06:08,040 a chance to present. It all breaks down back to 97 00:06:08,079 --> 00:06:11,720 the Axios piece that contends President Trump is the reason 98 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,519 that race relations, in their eyes, have gotten worse five 99 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,160 years later, the pendulum has swung hard in the opposite 100 00:06:18,199 --> 00:06:21,959 direction DEI. On his first day in office, President Trump 101 00:06:22,079 --> 00:06:25,000 ordered a government wide purge of DEI programs and offices, 102 00:06:25,399 --> 00:06:29,920 the opening sovognist systemic efforts dismantle the racial justice agenda 103 00:06:29,959 --> 00:06:34,639 that emerged in twenty twenty. This was not justice. Giving 104 00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:37,519 people jobs based upon race is not racial justice. It 105 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,240 is the opposite of racial justice. It is racial injustice. 106 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,680 It is, in fact, racism. Civil rights. The Trump administration 107 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,600 has moved aggressively to unravel President Lynnon Johnson's civil rights legacy, 108 00:06:48,959 --> 00:06:52,680 including by rearenting DOJ parties to focus on anti white racism, 109 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,600 which they put in quotes because of course it can't happen. 110 00:06:56,639 --> 00:07:00,959 It was Johnson who said, in a disgusting way, put 111 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,839 together enough government programs, give black people enough government money's 112 00:07:04,879 --> 00:07:07,199 break up black families, and you'll have black America eating 113 00:07:07,199 --> 00:07:09,319 out of his hands. Only he didn't say the word black. 114 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,079 He used a word I don't use, and you probably 115 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:16,720 don't either. History. Trump ordered a federal view of Confederate 116 00:07:16,759 --> 00:07:19,560 monuments toppled during the twenty twenty protests, targeting what he 117 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,639 called a concerted and widespread effort to rewrite our nation's history. 118 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,600 What he called the Civil War was one of the 119 00:07:26,639 --> 00:07:29,920 bloodiest wars in history, and part of the reason it 120 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000 was fought, perhaps the main reason, was over the topic 121 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:39,560 of slavery. The Confederate monuments are history. Those were historical figures, 122 00:07:40,279 --> 00:07:43,839 and when I see them, I hate them. I can't 123 00:07:43,879 --> 00:07:47,839 stand driving by him. When I see him, it reminds 124 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,600 me of an uncomfortable past. I like that. I like 125 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,879 seeing a statue that brings that back, because a nation 126 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,800 that erases its history is erasing its future. If we 127 00:07:58,839 --> 00:08:01,079 can't regard the things of the past and the mistakes, 128 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,199 then we are going to be more prone to remake 129 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:08,120 those mistakes. Police reform. Days before the anniversary of Floyd's murder, 130 00:08:08,199 --> 00:08:12,120 the Justice Department scrapped proposed consent decrees for the Minneapolis 131 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,240 and Louisville police departments and drop nearly a dozen other 132 00:08:15,279 --> 00:08:20,920 investigations into alleged police abuse. These consent decrees were used 133 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,519 to d police cities. If you want to see the 134 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:29,720 fruits of these consent decrees, look at Seattle, where it 135 00:08:29,879 --> 00:08:32,960 is legal to vandalize a building, to break into a building, 136 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,759 to use drugs, to traffic people, and it is a 137 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,120 legitimate defense in court to come in and say I'm sad, 138 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,240 I have a depression issue, I have a drug issue. 139 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,080 Where illegal immigrants will not be charged with dois because 140 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,519 they can then be targeted for removal by the FEDS. 141 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,720 These consent decrees were depolicing decrees and they should have 142 00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:59,240 been canceled. Refugee policy. This is axious again pretending that 143 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,919 race relationship have suffered because of Donald John Trump in 144 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,360 the office refugee policy. The administration has effectively ended most 145 00:09:05,399 --> 00:09:09,480 refugee programs except for one tailored to white South African farmers, 146 00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:12,879 justified by Trump's false claim of white genocide. You know 147 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,320 that false claim that he then went on to prove 148 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,840 when he had the President of South Africa in the 149 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,360 Oval office and all the media was there, that false claim. 150 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:27,320 He's canceled refugee programs because like DEI, refugee programs were 151 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,799 being abused. They were being abused to bring in people 152 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,639 who weren't refugees. You are not a refugee. If you 153 00:09:34,759 --> 00:09:37,759 come to America from Somolia and say you're scared for 154 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,720 your life, so you come here, you get all the 155 00:09:40,799 --> 00:09:42,879 lars yes of being a refugee. You get to twenty 156 00:09:42,879 --> 00:09:44,679 two hundred bucks a month, You get to ten thousand 157 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,559 dollars walking around money that some states give five thousand 158 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,679 some tates, and then you go to vacation in Somolia. 159 00:09:52,879 --> 00:09:56,639 You never were a refugee. Mark Rubio makes this case 160 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,559 with Cuban so called refugees. They come here fear for 161 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,000 the life, and then they go vacation in Cuba. You 162 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,559 are not a refugee. Furthermore, USAID had used that program 163 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,320 to import people into our country who hate our values. 164 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,039 That is not a good idea because you import people, 165 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,879 you import their ideas and what they're going to do 166 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,720 with those ideas. And look what we've seen. We've seen 167 00:10:19,759 --> 00:10:24,360 people with those ideas go and enact bizarre, horrible forms 168 00:10:24,399 --> 00:10:27,879 of violence against our citizens and against visitors to our country. 169 00:10:28,039 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaking of the Jewish diplomats, Jake Tapper is not a 170 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,080 guy who you can turn to to have honest analysis 171 00:10:36,159 --> 00:10:40,639 of news. But Jake Tapper lets slip something about and 172 00:10:40,759 --> 00:10:43,039 it's obvious that he's a liberal. He says he doesn't 173 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,720 vote for either party, he can't stand either party. I 174 00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:49,200 personally don't buy it. But he lets slip something in 175 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,120 relation to race relations in America. That had to do 176 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,039 with his son. 177 00:10:54,240 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 3: A left leaning podcast that He'll Remain nameless. And we 178 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,240 were talking about my kids, because I think they were 179 00:11:02,279 --> 00:11:05,759 both people without kids. And they asked me about my son, 180 00:11:05,799 --> 00:11:08,679 and I said he was you know, he's a football 181 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,360 player and he wants to be a policeman. And their 182 00:11:12,519 --> 00:11:15,120 joke was about my fifteen year old son, Oh, how 183 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,039 does he feel about minorities? Like the idea that he 184 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,559 wants to be a policeman, therefore he's racist my son, 185 00:11:19,639 --> 00:11:21,600 And like you know, that was the big laugh. And 186 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,120 then I got dragged in the comments and all that stuff, 187 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,000 and I thought to myself, this is why you are 188 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:36,679 losing elections. Like my football playing son, who has no 189 00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:41,600 political views. He's fifteen. He thinks about World War two 190 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:47,320 and gaming and playing linebacker. That's his world. 191 00:11:48,879 --> 00:11:52,759 Speaker 1: He just gave it away. Now it's joke material on 192 00:11:52,799 --> 00:11:54,919 the left. It's anybody who wants to be a cop 193 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,639 is someone who wants to go around unliving black people. 194 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,559 That wasn't President Trump. And by the way, this piece 195 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,639 and Axios we've been talking about where they contend that 196 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,799 President Trump has broken race relations. You've been hearing most 197 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,840 of the piece. Three people wrote it. They put three 198 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,080 people on this piece, and these are the facts that 199 00:12:16,159 --> 00:12:22,120 can deliver facts absence of you know, fact, race relations 200 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,879 have been poisoned to the degree that people can pretend 201 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,120 to be a race Rachel Doleozol and get away with it. 202 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,919 But people who are of mixed race don't get what 203 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,440 is in fact a form of black privilege, as you'll 204 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:36,440 hear in this clip this. 205 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,159 Speaker 4: So I got into a heated argument with the woman 206 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,120 the other day that told me that I'm not allowed 207 00:12:42,159 --> 00:12:45,919 to say the word ninja. If you know what I mean. 208 00:12:46,039 --> 00:12:48,159 Speaker 1: Yes, she means the N word, and incidentally, she's a 209 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,120 mixed race woman. 210 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,879 Speaker 4: I don't usually come on here and give story times. 211 00:12:51,879 --> 00:12:53,879 It's really not my thing, but I just felt like 212 00:12:53,919 --> 00:12:57,320 this would be a real teachable moment. So I'm out 213 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,600 a function my best friend had a barbecue, chilling, cooling, vibing, 214 00:13:01,759 --> 00:13:05,440 conversing with people how I know to converse, and out 215 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,639 of nowhere, this girl says to me, excuse me, what 216 00:13:09,799 --> 00:13:12,919 are you like? Where are you from? So I explained 217 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,559 to her that I'm white and black. Now the room 218 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,919 is silent, and she's like, and you think you're allowed 219 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:20,879 to say ninja. 220 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,399 Speaker 1: See this has gotten to this point, this thought policing 221 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,240 and this race policing, that there is now a new 222 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,879 litanus test for whether or not you're black. And Joe 223 00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:38,240 Biden introduced that litmus test. If you didn't vote for me, 224 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:42,240 then you ain't black. Now that woman could in fact 225 00:13:42,799 --> 00:13:45,399 go out and identify more firmly as black if she 226 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,440 became more radicalized. And this is the Nancy Pelosi version 227 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,639 of this. It gives us Jasmine Crockett, who's not an 228 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,080 ebonic speaker, but suddenly became one when she walked into 229 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,559 the halls of Congress. And I'm firmly convinced it was 230 00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:03,919 Nancy Pelosi saying, look, we love you, the camera loves you. 231 00:14:04,279 --> 00:14:06,759 You're quick on your feet, You're not here to accomplish 232 00:14:06,799 --> 00:14:10,360 anything legislatively. You're smart, you went to one hundred thousand 233 00:14:10,399 --> 00:14:12,320 dollar per year private school. But if you could be, 234 00:14:12,399 --> 00:14:15,960 you know, more black, it was not President Trump who 235 00:14:16,039 --> 00:14:22,240 broke race relations. Story number two, the dust up and 236 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:28,120 the probable divorce between Elon Musk and President Trump. And 237 00:14:28,159 --> 00:14:31,559 I'm going to disclose something to you. Sometimes a job 238 00:14:31,559 --> 00:14:33,919 I do, well, it's a blessing, and it's a job 239 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,000 most people don't get to do, and it's unique, and 240 00:14:36,039 --> 00:14:39,120 I get to speak God's word into things. Sometimes it's 241 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,519 a struggle because I would be frank with you, I 242 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,240 cannot build up some big, fake head of steam to 243 00:14:44,279 --> 00:14:48,080 talk about Trump versus Elon. I'm sad about it. I'm 244 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,320 sad because we were this close to a win. I'm 245 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,679 sad because I can see both guys points on this. 246 00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:56,279 I'm sad because Elon Musk, a guy who goes around 247 00:14:56,279 --> 00:15:00,080 fathering children every other week and doesn't bother to actual 248 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,600 be a father, is accusing President Trump of being in 249 00:15:03,639 --> 00:15:06,279 the Epstein files. And I would suggest if President Trump 250 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:11,000 was in the Epstein files, the Democrat Party who tried 251 00:15:11,039 --> 00:15:15,879 to take him out, as it were, through legal systems 252 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,080 and a coup attempt, and am I judgment, Oh gosh, 253 00:15:19,159 --> 00:15:22,759 let's put some lazy, poorly trained secret Service agents on 254 00:15:22,799 --> 00:15:25,919 his protection detail. Do you think they wouldn't have taken 255 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,120 that selectively out and used that instead of the Russia hoax? 256 00:15:30,159 --> 00:15:32,679 Do you you don't think they would have leaked the 257 00:15:32,759 --> 00:15:35,519 portion of the Epstein files with President Trump in it 258 00:15:36,159 --> 00:15:40,200 if it existed. And on the topic of Elon, in 259 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:45,080 his view, the guy sacrificed nearly his entire company. He 260 00:15:45,159 --> 00:15:47,679 was willing to see his facilities burned down. He was 261 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,799 willing to see his stock destroyed, to go and use 262 00:15:51,919 --> 00:15:58,240 tech tools to uncover massive structural fraud in the federal government. 263 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:03,919 Massive structural fraud meaning a system set up to encourage, 264 00:16:04,279 --> 00:16:10,960 to steward and to hide corruption. On the topic of 265 00:16:11,039 --> 00:16:13,720 Elon and his assertion that President Trump is in the 266 00:16:13,759 --> 00:16:17,759 Epstein files, David shown I had been a lawyer for 267 00:16:17,879 --> 00:16:20,120 Jeffrey Epstein. He wrote, I was hired to lead Jeffrey 268 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,759 Epstein's defense as as criminal lawyer nine days before he 269 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:28,799 was unalived. He sought my advice for months before that 270 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,799 I can say authoritatively and equivocally and definitely he had 271 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,120 no information to hurt President Trump. I specifically asked him, 272 00:16:37,039 --> 00:16:39,519 and he's of the opinion that Jeffrey died. But he 273 00:16:39,559 --> 00:16:42,840 didn't say the words that a lot of people think happened. 274 00:16:43,919 --> 00:16:46,919 Although now we hear Don Bengino saying, damn Magio saying 275 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:52,039 it didn't happen. So what is a Christian response to this, Well, 276 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,679 one of them is to look at what was actually 277 00:16:53,679 --> 00:16:56,639 going on behind the rules. Are the walls of Congress 278 00:16:56,919 --> 00:17:00,399 Anna Paulina Luna back concession. The rules commit in House 279 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,759 leadership has decided to not bring anything to the floor 280 00:17:02,799 --> 00:17:06,319 to codify Trump's EOS or doge no code off I votes. 281 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,880 Guess what, no votes. Half the reason the GOP even 282 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,319 took the majority is because of Trump and Elon. Then 283 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,240 now you guys are too scared to codify. They are 284 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,480 too scared, And there's a pragmatism to this, and the 285 00:17:19,519 --> 00:17:25,839 pragmatism is that the establishment is waiting out Trump, that 286 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,599 they don't really want things to change. So how do 287 00:17:29,599 --> 00:17:32,839 you respond to this as a Christian? Because that's my 288 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,480 concern on this. President Trump is a Christian. He talks 289 00:17:36,519 --> 00:17:39,160 about Jesus, he prays to Jesus. I believe in the 290 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,759 developmental process of his faith. We refer to that as 291 00:17:41,759 --> 00:17:43,720 being a baby Christian, and it is not an insult. 292 00:17:43,759 --> 00:17:47,119 Everyone starts somewhere. Elon Musk has talked about Jesus, but 293 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,000 he doesn't know the Lord and he's not a Christian, 294 00:17:49,319 --> 00:17:51,359 so we can't expect Christian behavior out of them. But 295 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,400 we can use Christian teaching for instruction to see where 296 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,440 this is going off track and maybe why. I'll explain 297 00:17:57,519 --> 00:18:00,279 that in the second, as we cleanse our minds for 298 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,880 just seconds. We have all sorts of choices in this world. 299 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,039 We can quarrel or not quarrel. We can fight with 300 00:18:06,079 --> 00:18:08,559 people like Elon. We can fight with brothers and sisters, 301 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,680 or we cannot. You also have a choice on how 302 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,680 you clean your body in your hands. We all know 303 00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:17,559 that great, big companies very commonly do not have our 304 00:18:17,599 --> 00:18:20,279 best interests at heart. They do not agree with our positions. 305 00:18:20,599 --> 00:18:23,240 They're doing things like making their products with slave labor 306 00:18:23,279 --> 00:18:26,480 in China. That is not the case with a single 307 00:18:26,519 --> 00:18:31,119 soap company, Alan's Artisan Soaps. The soaps are made in America. 308 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,039 They're all natural, they're made with no chemicals, and they're 309 00:18:34,039 --> 00:18:36,680 as gentle as soap can be. And it's called Alan 310 00:18:36,839 --> 00:18:41,519 Soaps because the reason it exists is to employ people 311 00:18:41,599 --> 00:18:44,359 like Alan, who's thirteen. He's been through eighteen operations. He's 312 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,920 effectively nonverbal. Ian now joins him. Working there is Alan's brother, 313 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,039 also affected by autism. Amy is now working there. Amy 314 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,480 got autism late in life, late onset autism. Imagine how 315 00:18:54,519 --> 00:18:57,200 frustrating so the soap is world class, made by a 316 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,519 family of three generations of soap making expertise and made 317 00:18:59,559 --> 00:19:02,599 in America to Alan Soaps dot Com slash Todd use 318 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,759 promo code Todd to get temper sent off all their products. 319 00:19:04,759 --> 00:19:09,200 Alan Soaps dot Com slash Todd. In James, in the Bible, 320 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,640 we read what causes quarrels and causes fights among you? 321 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,759 Is it not this that your passions are at war 322 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,359 within you? You desire and you do not have, So you 323 00:19:20,599 --> 00:19:24,079 end lives you covet and cannot obtain. So you fight 324 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,400 in qrarel you do not have because you do not ask. 325 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,880 And in that they mean you do not have because 326 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,519 you do not ask the Lord to fill you with 327 00:19:31,559 --> 00:19:34,440 that which would fulfill. We can look at Elon and 328 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,440 we can look at President Trump, and both their hearts 329 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,160 wants something. I think both met are patriots. I think 330 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:45,480 President Trump deeply, deeply wants to heal this country, particularly financially. 331 00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:49,039 And I think Elon Musk is truly, truly terrified that 332 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,759 the country's going bankrupt. And they're both right. They're both right, 333 00:19:53,519 --> 00:19:57,680 and they're both wrong. Choosing this quarrel in public is 334 00:19:57,799 --> 00:20:03,200 exactly what Satan would want. A moment of precipice where 335 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,680 a nation uniquely blessed with resources had an opportunity to 336 00:20:07,799 --> 00:20:12,960 at least begin to etch away at thieving, because a 337 00:20:13,079 --> 00:20:16,319 nation that has encoded you shall steal and be rewarded 338 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,960 cannot be fully rewarded by God. Story number three, The Good, 339 00:20:22,759 --> 00:20:26,680 the Bad, and the Ugly of pastoring. If we wouldn't 340 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,160 get in trouble licensing style. Back in the day, Alex 341 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,160 who's produces this program, we used to do a feature 342 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,839 called just a Few More Things, and then we do 343 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,559 a sub feature that just a Few More Things, where 344 00:20:37,559 --> 00:20:39,079 we had clips that were the good, the bad, and 345 00:20:39,079 --> 00:20:41,640 the ugly. We use that great Clint Eastwood movie music. 346 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,119 And everybody can make mistakes. Pastors can make mistakes, and 347 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,240 mistakes are some of the greatest opportunities in the world 348 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:57,079 to build relationships. Mistakes and errors and being wrong and 349 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,200 treating people wrongly are some of the greatest ways to 350 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:05,279 make relationships. Now, there's a difference between mistakes. There's a 351 00:21:05,279 --> 00:21:09,359 difference between making mistake and apologizing having made a mistake 352 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:16,759 and sort of apologizing and then building your personality as 353 00:21:16,799 --> 00:21:24,559 a pastor around something that is uniquely not pastoral. That's 354 00:21:24,559 --> 00:21:26,680 how we get the goods, the bad, and the ugly. 355 00:21:27,519 --> 00:21:32,039 This is a pastor named John L. Hamadu of church 356 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,119 eleven thirty two, and he's delivering an apology. This is 357 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,000 an important moment. This is a great moment. Apologies are 358 00:21:40,079 --> 00:21:44,880 great times where you can build faithful friendships and relationships 359 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,480 and let Christ face show through your own. 360 00:21:47,559 --> 00:21:49,279 Speaker 5: Two things that I said, I would say, you know, 361 00:21:49,319 --> 00:21:51,799 tell a story about how he was lifeless, had no 362 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,519 heartbeat for over eight minutes. He was just like laying 363 00:21:54,559 --> 00:21:56,519 there and I'm praying, and I'm praying. 364 00:21:56,519 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 1: I'm praying, and this is what I said. 365 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 5: I said, I'm not praying weak pansy prayers like oh God, 366 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,960 please be with us. I'm praying bold prayers like God 367 00:22:05,039 --> 00:22:06,799 raise him from the deaths. I said that, and then 368 00:22:06,799 --> 00:22:08,359 I would say and then I felt the presence of 369 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,240 God come into the room. And when the presence of 370 00:22:11,279 --> 00:22:16,279 God comes, death has to leave, Darkness has to leave. Literally. 371 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,319 June twenty eighth, I'm preaching that a way of it. 372 00:22:19,759 --> 00:22:24,000 June twenty ninth, I'm in a hospital room again and 373 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,599 Kaylee is eight months pregnant with our third son, Cole, 374 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:33,400 and there's no morph beat, and readuce her. She gives 375 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,839 birth and literally I'm holding my son, praying God, please 376 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,559 be with me. And I'm feeling the overwhelming sense of 377 00:22:41,599 --> 00:22:42,599 the presence of God. 378 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: So I used to preach, when. 379 00:22:45,079 --> 00:22:47,599 Speaker 5: You know, when the presence of God comes, death leaves here, 380 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,359 I am holding both. I used to say, I wasn't 381 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,160 praying pansy prayers like God here, I am. God, Please 382 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,920 be with me. And I feel like I need to 383 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,839 apologize to a bunch of teenagers because I have made 384 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:02,319 people feel like if you had enough faith, if you 385 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,400 prayed a little harder, if you were just a little 386 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,920 bit more intellectually convinced, things would have been different. And 387 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,759 sometimes it rains. 388 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: Sometimes the answer is no. Sometimes the answer is I'm 389 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,200 not going to do that for you. And I question 390 00:23:22,519 --> 00:23:25,680 after a season like that that I've learned to ask, 391 00:23:25,839 --> 00:23:28,960 is what am I to learn from this? Because God 392 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,759 is always acting for a good What am I to 393 00:23:31,799 --> 00:23:35,359 learn from this? At youth group a couple months ago, 394 00:23:36,319 --> 00:23:40,079 a new kid came in. He's a bigger kid, and 395 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,799 it's kind of a rambunctious night, and I got a 396 00:23:43,799 --> 00:23:46,640 little bit frustrated, and I'd not met this kid before, 397 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,640 and I got snarky with him and said something about, hey, 398 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,119 when you're done interrupting me, I'll start interrupting. I'll stop 399 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,640 interrupting you, and then I can get back to doing 400 00:23:54,640 --> 00:24:02,519 my job. So stop. And I saw his and it 401 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,880 communicates to me that he was not angry, he was hurt. 402 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:09,960 And I meant to catch him that night and I 403 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,640 didn't get to and God presented an opportunity for me 404 00:24:13,799 --> 00:24:15,880 the next week, and he was in the hallway before 405 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,319 class and I said, hey, can I chat with you 406 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,119 privately for a second. I said, God put you on 407 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,519 my heart. I wasn't gentle with you. I didn't even 408 00:24:23,559 --> 00:24:25,559 give you any warning. You're new to the group. I'm 409 00:24:25,599 --> 00:24:29,079 super glad you're here. You really contributed to the group. 410 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,119 And I was wrong, and I'm asking you to accept 411 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,839 my apology and please forgive me. And in this ninth 412 00:24:37,839 --> 00:24:42,359 grade boy's eyes, there were some tears, and I didn't 413 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,240 make him say the words I forgive you. This is 414 00:24:44,319 --> 00:24:49,039 really tough for boys, but it was there. And this 415 00:24:49,079 --> 00:24:52,119 has happened foreign life with young people with whom I've worked. 416 00:24:52,799 --> 00:24:56,119 That's an opportunity to man up and to do what 417 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,039 Jesus would do, and to let God's face shine through, 418 00:24:59,079 --> 00:25:01,319 and to not be prideful, to not just ignore a thing. 419 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,160 So I love that moment of pastoring because it shows 420 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,880 the human frailty. The that's the good the bad, and 421 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,640 I don't know that it's I mean, it's bad, but 422 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,279 it's also not a complete apology, and it's not also 423 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,720 completely bad. This guy's name is Francis Chan, and these 424 00:25:19,759 --> 00:25:22,720 will come from protestea dot com. Such a great source. 425 00:25:22,799 --> 00:25:24,559 We need to get him back on. David Moran, who 426 00:25:24,599 --> 00:25:28,960 runs that. David moral who runs that. We need to 427 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:35,279 get him back on. Francis Chan tells Lecree that he 428 00:25:35,799 --> 00:25:39,359 at a point would talk about having had a bigger 429 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,480 church than Jesus. 430 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,559 Speaker 6: I remember, I remember you, like you had a megachurch 431 00:25:48,279 --> 00:25:54,079 in southern California. You had sold crazy amounts of books. 432 00:25:56,799 --> 00:26:01,680 Everyone was doing, your Bible studies, your DVD people kids 433 00:26:01,839 --> 00:26:08,759 DVDs are these things you watch. It's amazing, right, But 434 00:26:08,799 --> 00:26:11,440 then one day you just said you walked away from it. 435 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 2: Right. 436 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 6: And I'm not saying that you do that because of 437 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,160 what you're talking about, but I'm interested. I'm interested, like, 438 00:26:18,039 --> 00:26:22,839 was it clarity, was a conviction? Was it like restlessness? 439 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,680 Like what were you processing in that time period? 440 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 7: There were a few things. I remember one night telling 441 00:26:29,039 --> 00:26:30,599 my wife because I had a church in see Me 442 00:26:30,759 --> 00:26:34,359 Valley And one night I just looked at her and 443 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,599 I thought, came, mago, honey. I feel like if the 444 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:43,240 Apostle Paul or Jesus had a church in see Me Valley, 445 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:50,799 mine would be bigger. And that is bothering me. I 446 00:26:50,839 --> 00:26:53,359 would have a bigger church than Jesus because I know 447 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:54,240 how to keep a crowd. 448 00:26:54,279 --> 00:26:54,759 Speaker 1: They didn't. 449 00:26:55,759 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 7: And so you start realizing, well, am I really being 450 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,200 like Christ? And then as I'm looking in the scriptures 451 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,440 and I'm looking at okay, what's commanded? Like if God 452 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:11,119 could have anything of a church, what is the main 453 00:27:11,279 --> 00:27:16,039 thing in scripture? And there was such an emphasis in 454 00:27:16,079 --> 00:27:19,240 the New Testament on loving one another as much as 455 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:25,279 Christ love us. That's how much like, like, do I 456 00:27:25,319 --> 00:27:28,920 really care about you? Like genuinely? It's great, we can 457 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,640 be a show, we can be friends, we give each 458 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,279 other a hug, see in five years, But do I 459 00:27:33,599 --> 00:27:39,119 really genuinely love you like Jesus love the church to 460 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,759 where I go look anything, I'll give you the shirt 461 00:27:41,799 --> 00:27:45,640 off my back, whatever you need, Like that's what he wanted. 462 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,079 And so I'm like, that's not what I created. I 463 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,000 got a bunch of people. Thousands of people were playing churches. 464 00:27:54,079 --> 00:27:54,599 Speaker 2: We got call. 465 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 7: You know, podcast is going crazy, But are we loving 466 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:00,200 each other like that? 467 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 1: So the thought that you have created a bigger church 468 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:10,480 than Jesus is blasphemy because there would be no Christian 469 00:28:10,559 --> 00:28:14,160 Church without Jesus Christ, who has existed forever it always 470 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:18,079 will exist, who became man to come and pay for 471 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,920 our sins. There would be no Christian Church without his suffering, 472 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,440 without what happened to him on the cross, and with 473 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,079 what he did later in a resurrection. So it's blasphemy 474 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,440 and that deserves a lot of repentance because this human 475 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,480 pride thing. It also requires I think an apology to 476 00:28:37,599 --> 00:28:41,440 people who follow him, and he does sounds sad about it. 477 00:28:41,759 --> 00:28:45,680 Maybe he sounds a tiny bit repentant. But on that topic, 478 00:28:45,799 --> 00:28:49,359 Jesus didn't want a big church. I mean, he wants 479 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,559 a lot of people to be saved. It's not that 480 00:28:51,599 --> 00:28:55,200 he's against big churches. Five thousand people where there are 481 00:28:55,279 --> 00:28:57,920 actually five thousand men. Probably more like fifteen to maybe 482 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:02,319 twenty thousand people were there when Peter spoke the first 483 00:29:02,319 --> 00:29:11,240 sermon from the rooftop, days after Jesus returned, resurrected and 484 00:29:11,279 --> 00:29:13,720 spoke those words in front of the people who unlived 485 00:29:13,799 --> 00:29:21,279 Jesus very bravely. But Jesus made it difficult to the 486 00:29:21,359 --> 00:29:23,359 rich young ruler, go and sell all you have and 487 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:28,480 come and follow me. The rich young ruler couldn't. He said, truly, 488 00:29:28,519 --> 00:29:31,079 I tell you, if you do not eat of my 489 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,880 flesh and drink my blood, you can have no part 490 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:40,240 of me. And people left. He wasn't seeking haantity. He 491 00:29:40,279 --> 00:29:45,160 was seeking quality, people who understood who he was and 492 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,599 is and were unafraid to say it in the face 493 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:53,480 of massive, massive fuck pushback and threats of yourself being 494 00:29:53,559 --> 00:29:57,519 unlived as all but John ultimately were. They just couldn't 495 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,880 seem to unlive the apostle John. God just wouldn't allow it. 496 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,640 So Jesus didn't seek a big church. That's not to 497 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,599 say that he doesn't like to see lots of people 498 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,039 in church, But I don't think he wants to see 499 00:30:10,079 --> 00:30:13,920 lots of butts and seats. I think Jesus wants to 500 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,920 see a lot of people saved. He doesn't want people 501 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,680 who drop in the church to see a rock and 502 00:30:18,759 --> 00:30:22,359 roll show or a big truck rally. He wants to 503 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,440 see people who are in church having repented of their 504 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:30,759 sins and to be there to worship him with gladness 505 00:30:31,079 --> 00:30:34,759 and gratitude. Thank you, Lord God for everything you have 506 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:39,319 done for me, which is everything. So that's the bad. 507 00:30:40,559 --> 00:30:45,200 The ugly form of pastoring is the it's the snippy, 508 00:30:46,079 --> 00:30:53,319 it's the it's the irreverent, it's the borderline well obnoxious 509 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,960 form of pastoring. I'll share with you next. While we're 510 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,000 talking about pastoring, let's talk about Jesus Christ as pastors. 511 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,200 Let's talk about his love for children. There are many 512 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,960 passages in the Bible that refer to this, that the 513 00:31:06,039 --> 00:31:09,720 children wanted to come to Jesus, and the apostles were saying, no, no, no, 514 00:31:09,759 --> 00:31:12,279 the rabbi's tired, and no, no, no, let the children 515 00:31:12,319 --> 00:31:14,559 come to me. And truly, I tell you, any who 516 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,359 becomes something blocks between me and these little ones would 517 00:31:17,359 --> 00:31:20,599 wish a millstone was tied around her necks and they'd 518 00:31:20,599 --> 00:31:23,640 be tossed into the ocean. So Jesus loved children, he 519 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,279 loved families. He happened to have invented families. And there's 520 00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:29,599 a new movie that I think puts this into a 521 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,160 really interesting perspective in that in this film and it 522 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,440 comes from Angel Studios. In this film called King of Kings, 523 00:31:38,279 --> 00:31:42,119 a little boy gets an opportunity to be in the 524 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:46,079 gospel story as it's unfolding. He gets an opportunity because 525 00:31:46,119 --> 00:31:48,920 his father is a very skilled storyteller. It's based upon 526 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,359 Charles Dickens this animated feature. Because of his father's skill 527 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,519 as a story teller, this kid who had been obsessed 528 00:31:56,519 --> 00:31:59,119 with King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table 529 00:31:59,119 --> 00:32:03,519 and his sword, he's transported into the world of Jesus Christ, 530 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,200 first as an observer and eventually even as a participant. 531 00:32:07,279 --> 00:32:10,279 There is a turn in this film that is so 532 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,440 magical because the little boy is watching Jesus go to 533 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,799 the cross and he is remembering the miracles, some of them, 534 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,079 but in this case it's the little boy who receives 535 00:32:22,119 --> 00:32:24,920 the miracles, the last of which is being called out 536 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:29,039 of the tomb, so he changes. Now, this did a 537 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,240 great bit of business in theaters that blew out the 538 00:32:31,359 --> 00:32:34,880 ridiculous Snow White movie Praise God. But you can't see 539 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:40,240 it anymore unless you join Angels Studio Guild become a 540 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,319 Premium Angel Guild member. Then you can see the film. 541 00:32:43,319 --> 00:32:45,480 But there's a lot more to this, and it's vital 542 00:32:45,519 --> 00:32:49,079 to understand one aspect to this that matters to me particularly. 543 00:32:49,119 --> 00:32:51,559 I want to share with you.

Angel dot Com slash Todd. So 561 00:33:52,799 --> 00:33:56,000 this is a pastor who has made a habit of 562 00:33:56,079 --> 00:33:58,759 going around and saying that he will do something to 563 00:33:58,839 --> 00:34:01,960 people if they expe preuss views on race. He doesn't 564 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,480 care for. His name is Jeff Durban and Defiant Baptist 565 00:34:05,599 --> 00:34:08,440 brought this out and made disavailable to us. So this 566 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,000 actually doesn't come from protests. It comes from Defiant Baptist. 567 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:16,360 And in this case, Whitebeard is making a claim about 568 00:34:16,599 --> 00:34:19,519 Pastor Ninja, and a claim that's pretty disturbing. 569 00:34:19,639 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 8: Don't don't try to sneak this stuff into our fellowship 570 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:26,239 it it's not going to go well for you. Especially. 571 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,519 I would not stand in front of Jeff and pull 572 00:34:29,559 --> 00:34:32,480 any of this Corey Mohler stuff because, like I said, 573 00:34:33,119 --> 00:34:34,440 he can be saying in front of you and the 574 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,320 next thing you know, his foot is in your face 575 00:34:39,559 --> 00:34:42,199 and lights go out. Don't do that. That would be 576 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,639 really a bad thing to do. So what they'll put 577 00:34:44,679 --> 00:34:45,480 up with it What. 578 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: Is suggesting is that that Pastor Ninja Jeff Derbertt, will 579 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:50,920 kick you in the face and knock you out if 580 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,280 you express views on race with which Jeff disagrees, and 581 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:59,440 that sounds pretty questionable. Then there's this on Jeff Durbin's 582 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,599 Soul social pages. Pastor at Apology at Church, Head of Apology, 583 00:35:03,639 --> 00:35:07,320 a studios, husband's a candy, father to seven, grandfather to six, 584 00:35:07,599 --> 00:35:13,360 martial arts master. I like to kick people. I hope 585 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:17,719 that the kicking is actually two consenting adults kicking one 586 00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:21,599 another in an actual martial arts session. But truly, if 587 00:35:21,639 --> 00:35:23,599 you go around saying that you're going to kick people 588 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,920 if they express a view on race with which you disagree, 589 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,719 that's bad. It's particularly bad from a pastoring perspective. We 590 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,719 are to be ambassadors to Christ for Christ, all of us. 591 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,360 If you're a Christian and you've been changed by Him 592 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,000 and you're being changed by him, did you know that 593 00:35:39,039 --> 00:35:42,400 you're an ambassador and you're expected to be a good one. 594 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,039 I've failed on that multiple times, and every time I've 595 00:35:45,039 --> 00:35:48,920 done it, I felt incredible shame. This is the Todd Hermanshaw. 596 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,239 Please go be well, be strong, be kind, and please 597 00:35:52,280 --> 00:36:00,239 make every effort to walk in the light of Christ 598 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:00,960 and
