Speaker 1: So what does it mean when there's one attempt against
the president's praise God that doesn't go through, against a
president's life, and then a second attempt to praise God
that doesn't go through, and yet one of his close allies,
a guy who helped him get elected, is then assassinated
in public. What does that mean to our souls? We've
talked about that to our nation. What should it mean
to the American financial system? Anything. Zach Abraham, Chief best
Officer Bulwark Capital Management, joins us under Todd Herman Show,
and we'll talk about this with the help of God Almighty.
Speaker 2: But Todd Herman Show is one disapproved by big pharma
technocrats and tyrants everywhere from the high mountains of Free America.
Here's the Emerald City exile.
Speaker 1: Todd Herman. Today is the day the Lord has made,
and these are the time to which God has decided
which you'll live. Joining me is my friend and brother,
Zach Abraham, chief investment Officer, Bulwark Capital Management. And I'm
going to ask you a question I haven't asked anyone
else on this which was where were you when you
heard about Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 3: I was sitting in my office and my head of
operations ran in and said, hey, they just shot Charlie Kirk,
and you know you hear that, and so many different
thoughts go through your brain like so many other people,
and first thought was hopefully this isn't as extreme as
it sounds, and then pulled up some video and obviously
saw what happened and realized, you know, right away, when
I saw the video, I was knew, you know, I
knew he was gone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I was. My wife told me I was.
I was doing some show prep, had stepped away from
the computer. I was cooking, do prep, cooking for both
of us. My wife eats differently than I do, so
two different dishes going. And my wife said, oh my gosh,
oh lord, they shot Charlie try to Kirk. And she
just saw it on a social media feed. And then
you know, this is my business. And I'm really shamed
because I went immediately I saw the video and I
immediately went into show prep mode, like, oh my gosh,
I got to gather the facts on this. And I
don't think it was I think it was like an
hour before my wife said, oh my gosh, what are
we doing. We need to pray for Charlie, we need
to pray for his family. And watching that video, like you,
I looked at that and then I only one time
saw the really up close version of that, and I
like you, maybe this is cynical. I just said, that's
not survivable. That's catastrophic blood loss in the way his
hands came up and it was so hard. And did
your boys see it as yours? Your kids are they
aware of it?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're aware of it. I don't believe that that
they've seen the video. They've told me they haven't. I
or my boys have. I believe my daughter may have.
She's a sophomore in high school. And I'll tell you what.
So many thoughts on this, and obviously nothing outweighs the
loss of his family, the loss of his wife, in
my opinion, the loss of our country, but or a
loss for our country. But the fact that it was
him as extra chilling, because this wasn't a guy that
had made decisions to send people to war. This wasn't
a guy that was a blank drawer. This wasn't a
guy that has ever said anything hateful. And what I
think it is highlighted is two things. And I think
there are things that for me that I knew but
I didn't really know, which is A. There is a
statistically significant swath of this country that truly believes that
the political opposition is evil, that they truly believe it right,
and that B there's a statistically significant portion of the
country that do not care if they have to lie, cheat, steal,
They have no care about where the trajectory of the
country is going as long as they win another election.
And those two things are terrifying. And when I hear
people sitting there going Charlie was homophobic, Charlie was racist.
He was a man of Hay, I instantly sit there
and say, so, you're telling me you've never heard him talk,
and you're telling me that you listen to somebody that
told you that.
Speaker 1: Right, right, it's the Stephen King phenomena. Stephen King puts
up on social media. That's Charlie Kirk wanted you same
sex attracted people still in the death And then Stephen
King spends the weekend of his new movie sitting on
social media. I'm sorry, I retract that I was wrong,
And someone said to him, you didn't think that.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz putted this out. You know, he said, you decrepit,
old hypocrite. You don't think that someone told you that.
You never heard Charlie speak. You know, I was just
watching a video Charlie with a young man who came
and was saying that same sex attracted people should be
purged from the Republican Party. And Charlie was saying, well, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
we can have political agreement with people. I'm a Christian man,
I know that God defines marriages between one man and
one woman and sexual union within that. And yeah, what
we don't want Peter Thiel's help. We don't want the
help of these other people who are same sex attracted
in politics. We can't agree on national defense and crime
and taxation. And it's like you have such hatred for them,
you can't even have a partnership in business. That doesn't
make any sense, man. And that's the homophobic Charlie Kirk this, yeah.
Speaker 3: The hoopoe. Yeah, the homophobic and racist one that's sitting
there saying that he doesn't want anybody to be judged
by the color of their skin. That has hired so many,
you know, countless black people that have worked for him,
been you know, studied underneath them. They just sit there
and extole that I'm where I'm at because Charlie Kirk
gave me a chance. And it's just this the saddest
part to me outside of Charlie being stolen from his
wife and his children, is it? It is? We do
not battle things of this earth.
Speaker 1: Right, you know, our spirits are not fleshing. Our battles
not against flesh and blood.
Speaker 3: No, it's and it's not. And this is a perfect
This is a perfect example. If you just listen to
what the man says, it's all you have to do.
You don't even to do any research. Listen to what
the man says. All of those narratives, everybody, they just gone.
They're just totally fabricated and totally untrue.
Speaker 1: Well, and the spiritual capture of people, Zach watching this
on loop, You're probably right about the teacher in Canada
who currently had his ten and eleven year old students
watch the murder on Loop while he sat there and
told him he deserved this. And I know I know
you as a dad, like you did what to my kids?
Speaker 3: And and and and you're you're doing that because he
was a hateful man. What what do you what do
you call.
Speaker 1: That right, right, you call that a snuff film.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're showing to eleven and twelve year olds. You
you can't just say you can't even make it up.
And that's why I just go back. If your brain
is spinning and you're looking at this and just aggravated
and churning stomach and how can this be? Then I
would just tell you, hey, I understand the feeling, but
you're not looking at this through the right lens. You
have to look at this through a spiritual lens, because
it's just I don't want to you know, I don't
want to make everything about you know, God and Christ.
Speaker 1: But everything is about God in Christ.
Speaker 3: Sorry, Right, And if you want to know what evil
looks like, it's this, right and the other thing I've encountered,
and I think it's also really scary. Again, something we've known,
but something that has just been highlighted in this The
American people's brains have been hollowed out to the point
where the average person walking around is honestly too stupid
to be a responsible citizen. Right, And that might sound
really extreme, but let me explain. I have seen so
many videos of people trying to make the argument that
because Charlie supported gun ownership. He deserved what was getting
coming to him. Okay, it's the law of the land.
It's he doesn't support child slavery. He doesn't support forced polygamy,
he doesn't. Right, he supports something that is in our constitution.
So if you live here and pay taxes, you support
it too. Right, it's the law of the land. So
supporting something it is existing law. How in the world
does that make you an extremist or or that means
you should be king? It's the law, right.
Speaker 1: So if you take people who they support wrong sex
surgery and hormones for kids, and one of these people
dies in these surgeries, we celebrate.
Speaker 3: Whoa, look at that.
Speaker 1: Oh you've got an infection. Yeah, it's your third infection.
I love it.
Speaker 3: Oh wait, you know what.
Speaker 1: The injections has screwed up your voice and now you
don't like the way you sound.
Speaker 3: Whoa.
Speaker 1: No, we don't do that because you made a choice,
and it's a choice that we don't want it to
be harmful. And that's not the perfect metaphor. But I
want to ask you something about it as a business
owners Act, and it has to do with cancel culture.
This is really interesting to me watching suddenly the left say,
oh well cancel. Culture is bad. We'll talk about this
in a second. A sack Abraham, chief of this mothster
Bord Capital Management. Let me present a scenario. You so
you know how business owners. I don't know about uzach,
but I love a surprise bit of mail from the
irs you know where it's out of cycle. I love that.
Or you get a note from you know, like a
county taxing authority, something like that. Or you show up
at work and oh, hey, you know that big expensive
production equipment we bought, it's broken. I love those days,
and I particularly man, I would love a day where
you walk into the office, you sit down, and there's
a knock and your assistance comes instances, this is sheriff
step in here to see you. Oh well yeah, send
the sheriff out. Hi, sheriff, I can help you. Hands
your piece of paper you've been served. Oh and you
open it up and it's a lawsuits and let's say
it's slip and fall. Or there's an employee you had
to let go and they're making these claims. Or someone
in one of your rental properties got hurts they decided
to deep fry a turkey inside and burn themselves. So
you look at this and it names your company and
you and you're reading this going, wait, you can my
rental properties that's in an LLC or a corporation. You
can't sue me. So the first thing you do is
you go to your lawyer. You give them that notes, Hey,
we just make sure that they understand they have to
assume my company. And your lawyer looks at your foundation
of paperwork and goes, yeah, so about that. You actually
don't have a corporate veil because turns out when you
founded your company, your tax attorney didn't realize this doesn't
give you this corporate veil or do it forgot and
this could be the situation for you. To avoid this
situation with a free now obligation consultation with Bisible that's
with a Z bisible. Go to the website go bisible
dot com. They will give you a free now obligation consultation.
If you have a corporate veil. Man, they're gonna jump
up and celebrate for you. Woo, you're protected you eight.
If you don't, after they make fun of you, they
will fix it for you in seven easy steps. It's
gobisible dot com. And I think the making fun thing
it's pretty light, right, don't they just go like with
the l loser on the head. I think it's just
basically that they go very much beun this go visible
dot com. So, Zach, I am a free speech absolutist.
So now, if you're threatening to kill a person or
to un alive a person, that's that's illegal. That's making
a threat, right, it can be terroristic threats. Okay, got
that if you use your words to lie. Let's say
to a police officer like this guy in Utah, did
I'm the shooter? That old man you saw that he
did that to let the real murderer get away? And
now and you'll be shocked to find this Apparently media
reports indicate he's being charged with the possession of child porn.
Another shocker, right, real weird. So I'm a free speech absolutist.
And here's my contention. If you are a emergency room
doctor who celebrated the murder of a man for speech,
you have no business being an emergency room doctor because
I do not trust that you would address my medical
concern if you knew who I was. If you are
a teacher, celebrating the death of someone and showing it
to kids. You have no business around kids. So the
left is saying, oh, suddenly the right wants cancel culture.
As an employer and someone who sits on boards, how
do you view this.
Speaker 3: So nuanced? Because I despise the term hate speech, I
do not despise the term threat. I do not despise
the term death threat. I think there are legitimate things
like that that fall underneath that. But I do not
believe I believe that hate speech is a negative term
for free speech. Yeah, because, by definite, the definition of
free speech is my ability to say something that you despise.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: However, it does not mean that I cannot be held
responsible for what I say. I e. My employer does
not at all. Almost every single employment contract has inside
of it that four cause statement, right which if you
make us look bad or say something that we disagree
with as an institution or a company, we hold the
ability and the right to fire you at any given time.
So am I all for people putting on pressure pressure
for companies to fire people like that? One hundred percent.
The public has the right to do that and pressure
a company. The company has the right to fire you
or not fire you. When it comes down to somebody
like a doctor, I'm torn. I would like to sit
there and say it is totally It is up to
the hospital that hires him. They can fire him. And
I would say, Now, what I would say is that
I wouldn't go to a hospital like that. I'd be
afraid that the guy would find out what I'd set
on a few podcasts and leave me dying on the bed.
Right now, flip around. Talk about education. That's different. They're
taking government money, right then the government consider I think
the government has a prerogative of the surrounding politics of
this do not matter. If you are showing snuff films
of people getting shot in class to children, you should
be fired. I don't care what the explanation is. I
don't care what the politics surrounding it are. If you
are celebrating somebody getting killed, you have absolutely no right
to be working with children. If you work for a
private school, I'd say it's up to the private school. Right.
I'm just a believer, and I'll be honest with you.
I heard Pam BONDI come out and say the things
that she said, and that made me extraordinarily on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, she was going to prosecute hate speech. We
have no room for this. I'm going to have a
DJ look into that. And then later she stepped that
back to say, oh no, no, no, no, no no, I
meant to threats. We're just gonna do threats. I had
the same thing. I made a video about it, and
let me try to present it to people who disagree
this way. So let's say that a let's say that
a same sex attracted person is unalived in a public way.
I don't know who's the same sex attracted celebrity. Everyone knows,
because I don't know any Ellen Degenerous, okay, so well
that's from our generation or sort of Ellen Degenerous. Yeah,
she's a celebrity. So she's unalived. And let's say that
an emergency room doctor said, you know what, live a
sinful life, have a sinful exits. Bye bye Ellen and
joy hell. And that's very hateful thing to say. Now,
if you were a same sex attracted person, or your
kid was same sex attracted, would you take that child
of yours to that doctor?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: And what would be the response societally if emergency room
doctor said that about a same sex attracted celebrity who died.
What would be the media response. They'd absolutely be running
stories on homophobic doctors and how this puts lives at risk, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I don't think if your point is,
I certainly don't think that they'd be trying to publish
glowing love letters between the doctor and his lover.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, saw that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I and this to me is where
I stop. And you know, when I sit there and
I think to myself, I go this, the irony, the
irony of this whole thing is the only way you
can think that if if you, if Jesus is your
Lord and Savior, and He's in your heart, there is
no way that your response with something like that is
that there's no way, right, because all life is precious
and it is not yours to choose and decide and
even cheer for when a life is taken like that.
And that is the cruel reality of the world that
we live in that I think about all the time,
all of these problems that they all address, I know
one thing that fixes all of them, all of them,
and yet it's the one thing that they all despize.
It's the one thing that they're all pushing away and
it's just and then turning around and saying that we're right,
that's the problem, right.
Speaker 1: I got to push back from someone on YouTube who
said to me, because I was talking about the people
who are celebrating Charlie's death and the murder and some
of the most vile statements about this, there's one guy
as a teacher and Clark Kenny Nevada who said he's
watched it like fifty times and not the far away
version of the close up version, and every time he
watches it, he loves it more. And I was addressing
things like this and saying, yep, it's very reasonable as
parents to say this guy cannot be around our kids.
And I got this guy I wrote back to me
on YouTube, and he said, isn't it your god small
g who says love thy neighbor, look at yourselves. You
can't even do the simplest thing of loving that neighbor.
And wait, wait, wait, I can't be loving to this
teacher and say to this teacher, what you've said is
so vile and so dangerous that you cannot possibly be
around children. And I love you so much, I'm going
to pray for you. I don't love what you did.
But Jesus told me to love you, and so I do.
And this duality they set up is so poisonous, and
it is one of the things that's allowed people to
create a God out of sexual attraction, sexual identity, gender identity,
anything but God Almighty, because they're small g gods. They're
idle gods. They're idle gods to say, yeah, U bu
go get more, go have more flesh, go have more hatred,
et cetera. But that guy actually thought he was owning
me with that comment.
Speaker 3: Oh well, for sure he did. And this is the
wonderful thing that you know that the enemy uses is
to be one of the one of the best tacklets
is the twist language. Right, We've got an entire culture
that doesn't even know what the word love is.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: Love is what is compelling me to get this man
removed as an educator because I love those children, and
love prioritizes those who cannot protect themselves, yeah, right above
those who can. So that is the definition of love.
Love is doing what is good for people, regardless of
what the implication is for myself. So, yes, I love
those students because I'm willing to deal with adults and
morons like you, and back and forth on social media,
because as mentally exasperating and infuriating as it is those children,
I clearly care more about them than you do, because
to you, they're just political dunking fodder to make a
point and own a conservative or do something right like
something like that. Where yeah, like I said, even to
term love love now all of a sudden in this
culture means anybody can do or say whatever they want.
And you and I go, no, you know what that
actually sounds like. That actually sounds like apathy. Right, this
whole do whatever you That isn't love. That isn't how
somebody lives a fulfilling life that is beneficial to themselves
and the society they live in. Love's apathy.
Speaker 1: Love always has boundaries, and that boundary is that's going
to hurt you. Yes, I don't want you to do that,
because that's going to hurt you. And the hardest thing
for people to do, and I get it, is to
love people like that teacher, or to love Tyler Robinson,
because guess what Jesus does. That's part. That's the part
of being a Christian. And there's nothing about being a
Christian that's easy. And I know I hear people say
this all the time. Well, you just choose the easy
way out. You just have your tooth fairy God and
so you're going to live forever. So that's the easy
way out. No, when Jesus says love your enemy and
we go before the Throne of Judgment, he might say, Hey,
remember when Charlie Kirk got killed, and remember what you
said about Tyler Robinson and how you wished a painful
death upon him. Can we talk about that. I think
Tyler Robinson, if he doesn't repent, I believe he goes
to Hell. I don't believe he's a Christian man. I
don't believe he knows the Lord Jesus. I don't believe
he wants an know the Lord Jesus. I think he's
spiritually captured. But can you imagine if he did come
to the Lord.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yeah, well look and nobody's beyond grace. But
what I would say is anybody that says there goes
that you take the easy way out, I would look
at them and go, you're a morally compromised person, intensely
morally compromised. If you cannot sit back and look at
living the tenets of Christianity truly and truly attempting to
live them every day. If you think that's the easy
way out, once again, you're an idiot. Yeah, because it
is one of the reasons it's compelling to quote unquote
alpha men like you and I is that once you
start getting older and you start looking around, you realize
that there, first of all, there is no higher mountain
to climb, There is nothing that asks more of you
because it asks you to do things outside of your
own best interest right and truly. Then you also realize
there is also no better way I can benefit those
I love most and that rely on me than to
pursue this right and it is the hardest thing to
do in the world. It's the biggest challenge that I
climb on a daily basis.
Speaker 1: It's the opposite of being a You and I are
talking about alpha males, so called alpha males. We are
to be independent, We don't need anything, to be self
sufficient to the degree that we can physically, financially, emotion
all these things. And you know what following Jesus is
the inverse of that. The more we mature as Christians,
the more dependent we become upon him. The less independent
we are, the more we're willing to say, Jesus, I
can't do it. I need you to do that. That's
so so difficult. I want to ask you a question
that's financial and in some ways the least of my concerns.
In other ways, it just speaks again to a nation
I think, devoid from examination of reality. And I'll ask
you this question about a big time impactful assassination not
of a president. Charlotte Kirk as you said, didn't make
decisions to go to war, didn't place our troops around
the world, but he advised a president who did. And
I want to talk about that what it should mean financially.
In a second, we had our great live Free webinar,
a phrase we stole directly from Bulwick Capital Man with
renewed healthcare. An amazing thing happened during that discussion. A
doctor joined that call and the doctor said he has ED.
He had prostates cancer and had to have his prostate
removed or at least operated on, and for fifteen years ED.
He's tried the pills, he's tried the shots, and I
got to listen to him have a clinical discussion with
the staff there about where they put the stem cells,
how they do it, and heard that and how many
stem cells they use, and that doctor sat there and said, oh, okay, wait,
so you do it here. Oh okay, I'm in and
he's doing this follow up. There are people I did
not know this. They can reboot people's entire immune system,
and immune dysfunction is a huge issue. I have loved
ones who have this that manifest in these rashes, et cetera.
People can't stop itching, they can't digest more than three,
four or five foods. They've rebooted im immune system. And
then I did know this. I'd learned this during this process.
You know, the whole long COVID symptoms stuff that people have.
They're they're just having such great success. And that, by
the way, a lot of times that's not long covid,
that's long injection. So for all these reasons, go check
them out. It's renewed dout Healthcare are E and you
etult Healthcare. They're advising people now to take a test
to figure out how old your internal organs are chronologically
in reality, and they can help you with that. I
now have this test at home. I'm going to take
it and find out how old my internal organs are
chronologically versus physically renew rn U E dot healthcare. So Zach,
we had the assassination attempt against President Trump. Assassination and
attempt number one did not go through. Praise Gods. Although
the fact that that kid was allowed on that rooftop
for that period of time and the rangefinder, all those
things are incredibly suspicious. No one taking the high point,
no overwatch on that tower. Attempt number two happens. That
guy hides at President Trump's golf course in a place
where the paparazzi hid for I think he was there
for six or eight hours, just waiting for the president,
lying in wait. That didn't go through, Praise God. Now
we have the assassination of Charitie Kirk that comes on
the heels of a lot of murderers that came from
people associated with the sexual left. We're seeing signs that
groups like the Armed Queers of Salt Lake City were
at least tangentially tied to this, if not pushing it.
What should that mean to a financial system in a
democratic republic that we're entering into an assassination culture, man A,
That's a big.
Speaker 3: Question, YEP. What I believe it should mean for a
portfolio or on the investment side is that when you
stack it with everything else that we were looking at.
I very much believe that we are at a turning
point in so many ways that I think the only
way to describe it as a fourth turning And if
people aren't familiar with that, I suggest it to be
a read. The book is called Fourth Turning, and it's
got incredible evidence, and it's incredibly well sourced and backed up.
But I think that you're in a fourth turning event.
And what a fourth turning event? They're all different, but
it's basically where short term cycles and long term cycles
marry up and people go, what do you mean by cycles? Well,
if you look sequentially throughout history, you will see that
society tends to move in sixty to eighty year cycles,
which effectively is dynamic or a generational turnover the pace
of generational turnover. Right, So kind of a way to
think about it is this, how far do we go
until all of the people alive that learn the lessons
of World War two are no longer or alive?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: Well, you're there now, right, That's that's part of that
fourth turning, and so in in environments like those, they're
incredibly volatile, a tremendous amounts of wealth are typically eviscerated.
And when you look at the ways to go through
those times, it's all about owning real assets, owning real
assets that are in safe jurisdictions that don't get repossessed
by governments, and staying nimble, right, staying nimble, and not
putting all of your eggs in one basket. And I
don't I'm very hesitant to say this because one of
the things I've learned in my life is that talking
about investments and finances extraordinarily complicated, and nobody, nobody knows
exactly what's going to happen or exactly how it's gonna
play out. And I think, and so knowing that, you
look at history, you look at the things that have
worked before, you look at the things that haven't. And
what I think it says is that we're in for
difficult times. We're in for times where we're going to
see tremendous of wealth get evaporated, either through asset price
drops or through inflation. I think that everything. I also
know that what you should cling to in times like
this are things that the culture doesn't cling to, right,
you want to be a contrarian in fourth turning events. You,
like I said, you want to stick to your knitting.
You want real assets, you want to spread those assets out.
And I think that, honestly, that is showing up in
one of the reasons that our portfolio has performed so
well this year being up. You know, I don't know
somewhere between twenty eight thirty percent something like that. But
I don't know that, right, I don't know that. Maybe
we're just having a hot seven or eight months, and
so I don't I don't know what's happening tomorrow. Nobody does.
My crystal b and cloudy as anybody else's. But what
is my mind tell me? What is my gut tell me? What?
Do I also think my heart is telling me? It's that,
and I think it adds tremendous implications, and it's further
evidence of a society that is unrattling. Do we have hope, Well,
well Jesus well, of course we have hope. We always do.
At the same time, I don't think that that. I
don't think that that's what we're going to see, and
I hope I'm wrong. But I think the societal up
people is beginning. I don't think it's subsiding.
Speaker 1: I agree because now there's a momentum that the left
is seen, and particularly the violent portions of the left,
of the revolutionary left, the Color Revolution left, the Cultural revolution left.
They too, by the way, and everybody should remember this.
They too, are watching online and going, wow, there's a
lot of people celebrating this. We've done a really good
job of winning the minds of many. And you know,
Satan's looking at this from a perspective of his army,
because don't think he doesn't have an army. I mean
he has generals of ten and kernels of hundreds, and
lieutenants of thousands, and he's looking at this. He looks
at the data, not the way you or I do,
but he looks at the data. Look at all these people,
so bloodthirsty. And I want people to remember that as
Christ went to the cross, there were demons all around celebrating.
They were on rooftops, they were on the street corners,
they were in the crowds. They were yelling at Jesus,
save yourself if you're the Messiah. They were laughing and cackling,
and we ran a video this week of a woman
filming in her car zach if anyone's demonically oppressed this woman,
she could not stop hysterically laughing about what they're going
to do next. And as Christ went to the cross
and the hammer put the nails in his hands and
his feet, and as that cross was erected, and there
he is between two criminals. They were there and they
were celebrating. And the ones you could see, you could
probably look and see the look in their eyes is
they're celebrating and they're gambling for his clothes. And the
ones you couldn't see, they're the ones that are invisible,
floating around and whatever demons do to celebrate, high five, fist, bump,
bro hug, whatever is going on with that. And then
when the body shook and he said it is finished,
you know that they just raised holy are franking not
holy Hell, but the opposite of that. It's hell itself.
And the celebrations and the dancing and the orgies and
all this, and then imagine what happened when he re
entered the earth.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and.
Speaker 1: Just yeah, it does me too. It's just the demons going, wait, yeah.
Speaker 3: That we did. We didn't think about that and and look,
I've seen several things online that are like that, but
there they to be that remember, and it's something that
we all have to keep in mind. It has we
must be in a loving, peaceful mindset because if we're not,
that's not of Christ and doesn't mean fierce. We can
be fierce and loving and peaceful at the same time.
But you see this, these people popping up all over
the place. It's like, i haven't been a church in
twenty years and I'm going back. I'm Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 1: I've gotten emails this week, three of them from people
saying that did the morning I had two brothers tell me.
Close family members have said, because what was done to
Charlie Kirk, I'm going back to church. Charlie was not Jesus,
nor was he confused in that topic. But he spoke
the word of Christ. And you mentioned this the love
letter between the alleged murderer and his boyfriend. This is
what Montel Williams said. There are people trying to pigeonhole
this is a leftist thing and a right thing, and
what we're really talking about, we're talking about a love
torn child. Somebody was disparaging the person he loved. So
that's the explanation that Charlie Kirk personally was disparaging the
alleged killer's boyfriends.
Speaker 3: Okay, so let's I'm just gonna flip it around on Montel. Okay,
let me just show you how, like mister William le
shae a bankrupt that thinking is. Okay? When I hear
people say that they are getting rid of higher math, right,
that they are getting rid of higher levels of accelerated
math in inner cities because it's not fair to black kids,
does that entitle me to go out and shoot somebody? Right?
Speaker 1: Like I can look that up.
Speaker 3: Yeah no, But I mean, like, what what insanity are
we like? So let's say Charlie said that that guy's
boyfriend thing whatever it was, that that she should be
that she shouldn't be allowed to be trans Let's say
that he said she's not a human being and doesn't
deserve to live or something like that. That that'd be
a that'd be a despicable thing to say. Does that
mean that someone is entitled to go a shoot him?
I don't know what.
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk said is that's not a woman. He didn't
say it personally about that person. But what Charlie Kirk
correctly said is you can't change sex.
Speaker 3: Well, and that's something really important now. But the left
crying out about cancel culture because you go whoboa, whoa, whoa. Woh, guys,
hold on a second. Cancel culture is when I say
something that is objectively true, as in, a man cannot
have a child, and I lose my job in my
livelihood for that. Okay, cancel culture is not celebrating the
murder of somebody in the public square. Therefore your employer
doesn't want to be associated with you, so they fire you.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: Those are completely not unequal things, right, And they go, well,
you said it's an objectable fact. It's not. And I'm like, okay,
you can sit there and tell me all you want
to that the mountains I'm looking at aren't really mountains
and that they're actually sleeping dinosaurs, right, and you can
believe that all you want. That does not make it
objectively true. Somebody that is born with the penis cannot
have a child, right, right's the facts.
Speaker 1: Right, So that's that's not hate speech.
Speaker 3: No, And if you can, if you can, if you
can show me how I am wrong, then maybe you
have grounds for that being hate speech. So I will
wait until you show me objective, you.
Speaker 1: Know, but you may not want them to show you
the evidence. I'm just no, Yeah, well it may not
be a thing you want to see. Did you hear
what Brendan Carr is apparently suggesting doing to Jimmy Kimmel
and others.
Speaker 3: I haven't, but I I well with the FCC.
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, I want to discuss this with you in
just a quick second. Guys, we are right now. I
really I don't know. I don't want to call it
a sad time. Because John, who runs Alan Soaps, is
headed to the Lord. That's a happy thing. But he's
not thrilled to leave his family behind. In fact, it's
that's the part that's hard for him. It spending the
last few months he can with his family. John is
cancer and he's just it's been too long. He's done
and his doctors have told him he got a four
month extension on life. Praise God, may it be more.
And so when we've been talking about Alan Soaps and
there are people who say, okay, so you're going to
turn it into a charity. No, No, I'm just saying
to you a bunch of you've heard me talk about
Alan soaps, and a bunch of you praise God about it.
Zach buys it. It's in the office. It's the only
soap I buy. If you go to Bulwark you'll see
it's there. Just like he does. This is bone Frog,
just like I do. This as Bone and Frog. It
come to our house. It's bone Frog coffee. It's Alan Soaps.
Some of you have not yet tried it, and all
I'm asking you to do is so you take your
shot while John is living. Try the soap. If it's
better than the soap you used, now subscribe and buy,
and then just know that it's made in America. It's
all natural. Alan helps design this. This is a place
for Alan and Ian to work. The rest of the
world won't employ them. And if you love it and
you subscribe, this is going to help John's wife take
over this company and be successful, so Ian and John,
Ian and Allen continue to have a place to work.
That's not charity, because this If you do not like
this soap, this is directly from the family, do not
buy it. Try it, but if you love it, subscribe
and just help with this transition. It's aunsoaps dot com
slash Todd so. Brendan Carr, one of the commissioners of
the FCC, is apparently going to begin to think about
what they can do for the licensing of companies like
Disney and ABC, et cetera. Jimmy Kimmel recently said that
the right is doing everything they can to pretend that
the killer of Charlie Kirk was not one of them,
was not Mega, and they're so desperate to pretend that
they're not Mega, they're willing to say anything about this.
And on that specific topic, Brendan Carr has apparently said
there's an easy way or a hard way to solve
this problem. These companies are licensed to the FCC, and
because they have an FCC license, they have to operate
with the public good in mind. Would you, Zach, business
owner guy's got a successful podcast, a guy who is
partnered with someone who's a su successful podcast. Would you
back Brendan Carr going into ABC Disney saying yeah, you
know what, Jimmy Kimmel needs to pay a cost for this.
Jimmy Kimmel doesn't get to have this job. Jimmy Kimmel
has to, you know, doing something to them. You need
to make Jimmy Kimmel response for this. He has to apologize,
he has to state, fact, would you back the FCC
doing that?
Speaker 3: In just that case, my initial read on this is,
let me first and foremost. I would need to dig
into FCC rules and regulations and all that kind of
stuff before I could say yes or no. Yeah, I'll
be honest with you. This might not make everybody happy,
but my initial inclination is no. Just look, and I'm
just a firm believer in the marketplace of ideas. Meaning
if ABC wants to pay for that, and if viewers
want to tune in and pay for that, and advertisers
want to advertise on it, that's their prerogative. And the
reason I say that is I think the freedom of
speech is something that we need to be absolute about.
I think if the freedom of speech isn't offensive and
inconvenient at times, it's probably not being defended correctly. Do
I hate I think Jimmy Kimmel is a despicable human being.
I think he's a nasty human being. I think he
is exactly what he professes to not be, and I
would love nothing more than to see him get shut down.
But not at the cost of free speech, and not
at anything that sets precedent that could threaten free speech.
And I honestly think that that's what made me cringe
when Bondi said that, because what I believe modern conservative
should be is what the ACLU was so many decades
ago in Scowkey, Illinois. That when we say we believe
in free speech, that includes the ability for you to
stand up and say horrific things about us, and yes,
we're even going to back you when you do that.
Speaker 1: What about institutionalize because I think I agree with you
in this. I don't want the FCC coming in determining
what's true. Okay, Now, Jimmy Kimmel is lying. This kid
was not Mega, nothing like Mega. He did not have America. First,
he apparently hated Donald Trump. There's nothing in his lifestyle
that indicates he had any form of conservatism.
Speaker 3: Todd a Yankee fan, doesn't shoot bay Ruth. Okay, Like,
I mean, come on, what a ridiculous assertion it is.
Speaker 1: And and so now let's let's take this to a
different direction. So I'm talking about institutionalized. CNN to this
moment has an official position that we don't know the
motive of the shooter. Yeah, okay, So everybody who watches
CNN and believes it is legitimately right now making electoral decisions,
they're making life decisions, they're making pre decisions, they're teaching
their kids something that is demonstrably false. The guy's own
text messages, if we believe those are from him, state
he did this because certain forms of evil cannot be
negotiated with. That's what he said. That was the motive
why his own boyfriend said, why did you do it?
Because certain forms of evil cannot be negotiated with. So
you look at that. This is demonstrably plainly a lie.
And yet it is CNN's decision as an organization that
all of their news heads say, we don't know the motive. Now,
in that case, CNN is a cable entity, so FCC
has no no purview over that. But if ABC or
CBS to someone who does have an FCC license or
to say that, now, can the FCC come in and
say this is so demonstrably false that you are acting
against the public good Because what you're supposed to do
if you have an FCC license, you're supposed to act
in the public interests. Act so That's why they can
force stations have public interest programming. That's why music stations
have like the hour interview at six am with the
drug and alcohol expert.
Speaker 3: Well, that's why. And to be fair, and this is
why I said, I'd really want to check FCC laws
because also the broadcasting standards are different, right, Like, you
don't have unfettered free speech on public airwaves, right, you know,
right like you can't go in there and start dropping
f bombs. You can get respond you know, you get
fined for it, right, big time fines from the FCC.
So that that is why I said I would be
open to that, because if there is a mechanism in
existing FCC law that would support that, I would definitely look.
Would I want to go after it? Yes, I would
just be sitting there all the time going. My constraint
is the freedom of speech. Unlike these people, I will
not trample a constitutional right because I am a pault right.
But if it, like you said, I know that there
is some ambiguity there because unadulterated pre speech isn't allowed
on public airways anyway, So there may very well be
a mechanism. I'm not familiar enough with the laws, the guidelines, restrictions,
et cetera. If there was a mechanism legally, sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a tough line to walk because
but there is that phrase enemy the people, which was
a communist phrase President Trump applied against the muckingbird media.
But but Zach, they proved themselves to be that in way, way, way, way, way, way,
way too many cases.
Speaker 3: The shooting itself through that, right, Like when they sit
there and go, we don't know the motive. Well, guys,
you may not know. That's a ridiculous statement. But let's
say you don't know the motive. I'm pretty sure you
calling everybody like Charlie Kirk a xenophobe, a homophobe, a transphobe,
a racist, a fascist. I'm pretty sure that played into it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly, So they helped manufacture the motive. I
have a closing question for you that comes from it's
a generation of kids. It's really interesting, Zach. I had
this fascinating discussion with three young men. Let's see, they
are now sophomores and then a senior in high school.
You know, I had a conversation. They all said the
same thing, and I want to get your opinion in
this because it's about their financial futures. So Zach and
I are of the same mind on coffee. Both of
us use Bonefrog Coffee Bonefog Coffee dot com. So I
taught I'm having some now. In fact, you look here,
this is an iced version of bone Frog coffee. Now
I do not and I will not show you the
logo in this because this is before I realised this
is a Wolke company. But inside here is more bone
Frog coffee. It's ice. It's got oat juice in it.
My friend Jason, who's a Jerry farmer, sent me a
direct message on Twitter saying thank you for saying oat
juice because it ain't milk. By the way, it's not
juice either. But we're still friends. So I'm now about
I don't know, four order and fifty milligrams of coffee
into the day. One of the reasons I stand by
bone Frog is when something goes wrong, you can tell
how good a company is when something goes wrong. Other
day I got a note from Bruce. He's been buying
bone Frog threw me for about three years, loves the brand.
All of a sudden he couldn't get a phone call
back from Tim, Tim Crookshank, former Navy seal runs Bone Frog,
couldn't get a phone call back, disconnected, numbers, emails bouncing.
So I text Tim because Bruce got in touch with me.
I said, hey, brother, this guy loves you by the coffee.
He can't seem to get through you. And Tim wrot
back to me, says, dude, this is so frustrating. I
can't get through to him. I've been trying to call him.
I'm getting the same thing. So occasionally get these things
where your number won't call. His numbers so bizarre. So
I said, can I give him your personal bubble number?
And Tim said, please do send it to Bruce. Just
got a note from Tim. We finally talked, got this
all worked out. He's a very kind man. Hope he's
a customer for life. Do you know how busy this
guy is running a coffee company and he takes the
time to do this. That's who this guy is. The
bags say God Country team on it for a reason,
because it's how Tim lives his life. And the coffee
within the bags is either created by coffee legend named
Dave Stewart or it's mentored into existence by Dave Stewart.

So Zach I had the most fascinating conversation. I think
you're going to smile upon this. I was hooking up
with some of the guys hadn't seen in a while.
We're back into the regular Monday youth groups. And when
we're talking with them, what's new in life, how's football,
how's the fam? How's your walk with the Lord Jesus?
How are these things? And said, hey, you guys, I
know it's early. I'm not asking for commitment, any idea,
like what you want to do with college. Two of
the guys said, I'm not going to college. It's all
about trade schools. These are sophomores, right, It's to me,
it's all about the trades. I want to be a
builder or a general contractor. I want to be an electrician,
I want to work in HVAC and that's what I'm
going to concentrate on. Senior in high school, he's getting
ready to graduate. He's got all sorts of offers from colleges, universities,
academic scholarships. He's come out and said, you know what,
I'm not doing it. I want to learn business. I'm
going to work for my dad at the family business
and they work in finance. I want to go work
in finance and learn that because I want to run
a private school. I want to start a private school.
I want to run it. I don't think I need
to be a teacher to do this. I want a
school that fulfills needs. I want to entrepreneurily. And he said,
I think college is for suckers. And he said AI
is going to be that problem to sophomores in high
school in North Idaho. Sophomores fifteen sixteen years old said,
you know what, AI is going to destroy a lot
of those jobs. I'm going to go to the trades.
So where do you stand on that in regard to
making decisions like that for the future of young people?
Speaker 3: Man, I my opinion on that has evolved quite a
bit as I've gotten older. And I think that for Look,
everybody's a little different, right, so for different people, you know,
different courses of action are appropriate and beneficial. But if
I was starting it out again, because what I do
is sort of like a trade anyway, right, Like, technically speaking,
you do not need to go to college to manage money,
and so I'm very sympathetic to that. The other thing
I'm sympathetic to as a guy that owns a business.
I'll tell you what, man a lot of perks to
own in your own business, and now there are oftentimes
not the perks that young people think they are. Meaning
if you own your own business, you're gonna have to
work all harder. But you know, I look around and
see HVAC companies. I look around and see a company
like Visible that I'm a part owner in. I look
around at so many of these companies, and you know,
I've got a lot of clients like this. Guys, you
can go out and make a quarter of a million
dollars a year, four hundred thousand dollars a year, five
six hundred thousand dollars a year, and more significantly working
and operating in the trades and being an owner. And
if that's what you're interested in. The one thing I
will say to people is figure out what you're passionate about, right,
Because people go, I want to make a lot of money. Okay,
there are people that are intrinsically motivated by money. I'm
not one of them. But if you are, then okay,
then that path is good for you. The one thing
I will say is figure out what you're passionate about,
and work in a field that's at least related to that. Right,
Because I will tell you this, the easiest way to
distinguish yourself professionally is to work harder, right, and longer,
harder and kinder yep, yep, and and just and just
be on the money. And when you love and you
are interested, and you have a natural curiosity for what
it is you're doing. Like, for instance, I don't have
to set my alarm clock to be up at the
market open every morning. I'm usually up an hour before.
And the reason why I'm excited to get up and
see what's going on, right, So so I And that's
a perfect example. I'm up at five point thirty in
the morning every morning. Not because I'm so disciplined, It's
because I love what I do. Yeah, right, and that's
that's a huge advantage. So I would applaud those kids
that are saying that. The other thing is, I see
these kids although I've got a client of mine who
built a seven million dollar net worth running a three
man operation doing ass false ceiling for twenty years. Okay,
ass false ceiling. Okay, guys now fifty eight years old,
retired with more money, and he knows what to do
with and do whatever the heck he wants.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's awesome, and and look at I look at
these kids and go, look, it's gonna take less work,
and it's easier just to get a corporate job where
somebody's paying you. But I'll tell you what, it doesn't
provide the It doesn't provide the freedom. It doesn't you
know anyway. So I love when I hear kids doing
that if they're doing it for the right reasons. And
I furthermore, I think that they can do online classes
the places like Hillsdale, they can also take selective classes
learn you know, accounting. I think accounting is really great.
I think everybody, even if they're not going to college,
should get online courses and take some accounting, especially if
they want to run their own business. But yeah, I
think they generally speaking. I mean, I'll just tell you
as an employer, I've got twenty people that work for me.
I now, I've known some of them have gone to
college and stuff. I'm realizing this we're talking right now.
Not once have I ever asked any one of them
if they have a degree, and once it did. As
a matter of fact, I'm sitting here thinking, I've probably
got five or six employees and I don't even know
if they did go to college.
Speaker 1: But you know what they do in your job and
what they do for your customers.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And the referral they got from people that I
knew and trusted meant a lot to me. Right, So yeah,
I think it's a great move.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my daughter got a job she's been really really
focused on. Really, this is the company she wants to
work for. This is why she wants to work there.
It's so funny because she was talking to a friend
of hers, you know, on text, and it's like, my daughters,
it's like six o'clock in the morning, and your friends like,
what do you do up?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: I need to be at work, but like at eight,
why are you awake. What are you talking about? Like,
what if there's traffic, you know, what if my car
doesn't start? What if something happen. So, yeah, I'm so
proud of my daughter. She shows up for the first
day of work at this new company, or her shift
starts at eight. She's there at seven thirty in the morning.
Speaker 3: And oh, yeah, see that. These these are the things
that catch.
Speaker 1: My eye right right, I'm a business owner and I'm
looking at Oh, look at that. The new young lady
is here at seven thirty in the morning. She sits
in her car for a bit, comes in and then
apologizes for being a little bit early. Hey, I know
I'm a little bit early. I'm excited to get started.
And that's exactly what catches my eye to And it's
some of these simple, simple things that last throughout life.
First to arrive, last to leave, take on the jobs.
Look at this. Find the things that your boss hates doing.
Now you see your boss over there, like your boss
hates doing that stuff? Hey, you know what can I
can I do that for you? You shouldn't be doing that.
Then all of a sudden, when you're doing a bunch
of things that everybody that these so called important people
hate doing. You are that person they can't live without.
So when it comes time to lean out, well, we
can't let them go. Why because they do all this stuff.
And when you do that stuff, well, you will earn
the position as someone coming and saying, you know what,
we've got a big project, could you come and take
this on. I have a friend of mine who had
his degree was in literature, literature and he Suma cum
Latti from the University of Washington, top five percent in literature,
and he went into radio. His dad's from radio. He
was at a point at Microsoft where if a contract
existed in the Western Hemisphere period, it went across his desk,
not a lawyer like learned Biz dev that and before
it went to get the signature of Gates or Sashia
or Bomber, any of the tops, they wanted to make
sure did he sign off before it comes to my desk. Literature.
Speaker 3: Hey, I've got a great example of that. I've got
an employee twenty five years old and we'll make six
figures this year because they have made themselves indispensable to
my business and I need to pay them that to
keep them from looking at going somewhere else.
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it well. I will tell
the young man that you bless their ideas and yes,
find that thing you're passionate about. Zach Abraham go check
