Speaker 1: Welcome to the Three Stories version of the Todd Hermer Show.
Speaker 1: Story number one, the Border War is a spiritual war.
Speaker 1: Story number two Trump Qatar's airplane, and the Bible and
Speaker 1: the New Pope versus the old media. Will do this
Speaker 1: with the help of Bisible. If you're a smaller medium
Speaker 1: sized business owner and you do not have real corporate credits,
Speaker 1: you are putting your personal assets at needless risk. To
Speaker 1: help you fix it in seven easy steps, it's go
Speaker 1: visible dot com. Of course, we don't do anything that
Speaker 1: matters in the long run without giving thanks to God Almighty.
Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one disapproved but big pharma
Speaker 2: technocorrats in tyrans everywhere from the high mountains of Free America.
Speaker 2: Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman.
Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made in These
Speaker 1: are the times to which God has decided we shall live.
Speaker 1: A man who will not care for his own family
Speaker 1: is worse than an unbeliever. This is what the Lord
Speaker 1: Jesus told us. We don't provide for our own families,
Speaker 1: We're worse than someone who denies the Holy Spirit, denies
Speaker 1: the Lord's deity. And you can extend our family to
Speaker 1: our nation. And now, look, we're called to be kind
Speaker 1: to sojourners. You are a sojourner, and I don't care
Speaker 1: if you consider yourself a citizen of whatever country you
Speaker 1: legally are, but if you are a Christian, you are
Speaker 1: a sojourner. You are traveling through this world. It is
Speaker 1: not our home. It is a place we're visiting, and
Speaker 1: just like any place we visit, our job is to
Speaker 1: try to leave it better than we found it. So
Speaker 1: how do we do that? We build the kingdom? Why
Speaker 1: because then his will be done on earth as it
Speaker 1: is in heaven. The more time we build, we spend
Speaker 1: building the kingdom, the better it is for everyone else,
Speaker 1: because the kingdom is filled with people who do display
Speaker 1: the sort of love that's explained in the Bible. Does
Speaker 1: not keep lists of grievances. It's neither anging nor proud.
Speaker 1: It is patient, it is loving, it is kind, and
Speaker 1: people experience the fruit of the spirit. That is actual tolerance,
Speaker 1: not to pretend kind for political reasons. That is patience,
Speaker 1: that is long suffering, that is joy charity. So people
Speaker 1: experience that when we're in the business of building the
Speaker 1: kingdom here, making God's will be done on Earth that
Speaker 1: is in heaven. Heaven has borders, doesn't it. Now if
Speaker 1: you are a if you're an absolutionist and you believe
Speaker 1: that everybody gets into heaven and there's no limits, then
Speaker 1: you don't believe in heaven. You believe in Earth two
Speaker 1: point zero. And if you believe that get into heaven,
Speaker 1: then you don't believe in hell. You just believe that
Speaker 1: you graduate from one year of junior high and go
Speaker 1: to the next. So borderers, you can say, are godly. Oh,
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know. Jesus was an illegal immigrant,
Speaker 1: except it wasn't because Egypt did not have border patrol.
Speaker 1: They didn't have border regulations. People at that time were currency.
Speaker 1: So when people came into your country and they were
Speaker 1: from a class of people, you were going to use
Speaker 1: his labor. You did just that. As Megan said, one
Speaker 1: of the great anti hero philosophers, people are a resource.
Speaker 1: Nagan from The Walking Dead, By the way, far be
Speaker 1: it for me to bring Megan into a conversation with Jesus,
Speaker 1: Except he represented evil that enjoyed being evil until he
Speaker 1: experienced mercy. By the way, that changed him. It's a
Speaker 1: great moment in that show. So this whole border war.
Speaker 1: This is a spiritual thing, and you can prove that
Speaker 1: ways that are deeply, deeply uncomfortable. Jesus Christ did not
Speaker 1: welcome everybody to the movement. He didn't welcome the Pharisees.
Speaker 1: The great and powerful religious authorities of the day were
Speaker 1: not welcomed. Why because they would not cross the spiritual
Speaker 1: border of recognizing their faults, of having added to the
Speaker 1: Word of God in some vicious ways that always seemed
Speaker 1: to protect them and their wealth and do nothing for
Speaker 1: people's salvations. So they weren't welcomed unless your name was Nicodemus.
Speaker 1: And if you were Nicodemus, and you sought Jesus out,
Speaker 1: and Jesus agreed to meet with you on a rooftop
Speaker 1: at night so no one would see you, and you
Speaker 1: asked a bunch of questions and came to understand in
Speaker 1: your heart that truly this man is the son of God.
Speaker 1: But you were too afraid to leave your wealth and
Speaker 1: privilege of being one of the religious technocrats. You wouldn't
Speaker 1: leave that, so you didn't walk with Jesus. When Nicodemus
Speaker 1: had been welcomed, he'd been invited, and he didn't specifically
Speaker 1: say no he just didn't do it until Jesus died
Speaker 1: for three days, and then Nicodemus is said through tradition
Speaker 1: to have been the one who provided the spice to
Speaker 1: anoint Jesus's bodies in the body and the oil. So
Speaker 1: he eventually then confessed in that way. So you can
Speaker 1: say that's a spiritual border. He wouldn't cross. Jesus Christ
Speaker 1: proves in my mind that this whole border discussion is
Speaker 1: a spiritual discussion. And there's a very uncomfortable answer to this.
Speaker 1: This is representative of Monica mcgiver and we're bleeping some
Speaker 1: things out here because she takes the Lord's name in
Speaker 1: vain multiple times, and she has an announcement for America.
Speaker 1: You may not know this, but you are at war.
Speaker 1: We will not take this.
Speaker 3: We will fight back.
Speaker 4: And as that calls out because I know we've been
Speaker 4: out here for a long time, and shut down the citate.
Speaker 5: We are have war.
Speaker 4: Anytime, anytime a person can paid two hundred and fifty
Speaker 4: million dollars into a campaign and they've been given access
Speaker 4: for access to the Department of Treasury of the United
Speaker 4: States of America, we are at war.
Speaker 1: This is the woman who went and body slam federal officers.
Speaker 1: And then she didn't body slam federal officers. She lied
Speaker 1: in that moment, she was trying to cross the border
Speaker 1: into a federal facility, she was trying to bring people
Speaker 1: with her who didn't belong in that federal facility her excuses,
Speaker 1: and was doing oversight. You can make an appointment to
Speaker 1: do oversight, you're a member of Congress. But she don't
Speaker 1: get to body slam federal officers. You don't get to
Speaker 1: threaten them. You don't get to say things like I
Speaker 1: put my MF and hands on any MF or I
Speaker 1: want to, which is basically what she said. I think
Speaker 1: it was one MF or not two. So how do
Speaker 1: we get this to a spiritual war? First of all,
Speaker 1: she's an elder. I mean, she's clearly not a pastor.
Speaker 1: She could never be a pastor. But clearly she's been
Speaker 1: given a position of responsibility. And people who are given
Speaker 1: that respicion position of responsibility have been given much and
Speaker 1: Mush's expected Titus, Chapter one, verse five through seven. This
Speaker 1: is why I left you in crete, so that you
Speaker 1: might appoint elders in every town, as I directed to you.
Speaker 1: If anyone's above reproach the husband of one wife and
Speaker 1: his children are believers and not open to the charge
Speaker 1: of debauchery or insubordination. For an overseers, God Stewart must
Speaker 1: be above reproach. In One Timothy, chapter three, verse two,
Speaker 1: we hear again an overseer must be above reproach. And she's,
Speaker 1: of course in that clip pretending that Elon must purchase
Speaker 1: access to the treasury. Elon Musk got volunteers to monitor
Speaker 1: our treasury, and to whom much is given, much as expected.
Speaker 1: And Jesus talked a lot about money and the necessity
Speaker 1: that we stirred it well. But back to the border,
Speaker 1: there's a lawless one that's to come. The Bible describes
Speaker 1: a lawless one when we are unable to remove from
Speaker 1: our country people who are wanted in their home countries
Speaker 1: for terrible acts of violence and unaliving people and abusing
Speaker 1: little children in the worst possible ways, and we are
Speaker 1: deporting them back to the country to face justice for
Speaker 1: that after they snuck into ours and committed similar crimes.
Speaker 1: If we can't do that, then we can't fight the
Speaker 1: lawless one. God's will be done on earth as it
Speaker 1: didn't Heaven. Yes, we need to pray for the people
Speaker 1: who've committed these crimes. We are called to do that
Speaker 1: even if their enemies. If their enemies were called to
Speaker 1: do it even more. But we have a nation to
Speaker 1: protect physically and then in course spiritually, and heaven has borders.
Speaker 1: President Trump is staking out in this very smart political
Speaker 1: territory and smart moral territory. And he's far closer to
Speaker 1: God's design in this than are the Democrats, and will
Speaker 1: prove that the second God's design runs everything. It runs
Speaker 1: day and nights. And just remember this. God does not
Speaker 1: need day and night. He does not need a calendar,
Speaker 1: he does not need reminders. He does not need food
Speaker 1: or water or air, none of that he needs. It's
Speaker 1: all provided for us because we need it. It's a
Speaker 1: common blessings. Day from night is a common blessing. Water
Speaker 1: from land is a common blessing. This stuff makes sense
Speaker 1: of our worlds. He doesn't need gravity. We're all freaked
Speaker 1: out without it. Remember that day there was no gravity.
Speaker 1: What was that nineteen seventy four and everyone was freaking
Speaker 1: out because we're floating around. We need this stuff. He
Speaker 1: designed our bodies. There are people who've been blessed to
Speaker 1: understand how we can use God's design to help our
Speaker 1: bodies achieve more or to fight back against the salt
Speaker 1: in our food system. Men my age are terrible at
Speaker 1: maintaining muscle. I'm in my late fifties. The man average
Speaker 1: man my age has over forty percent body fat. Young
Speaker 1: men in the age of thirty, they are in the
Speaker 1: thirty five thirty two to thirty percent thirty thirty two
Speaker 1: to thirty five percent body fat on average. That will
Speaker 1: eventually destroy you metabolically. It destroys your spinal system, et cetera.
Speaker 1: Too much load on the body makes it very difficult
Speaker 1: to do fun things physically, so there's a lot to
Speaker 1: unlocking that. And a pill, no matter how good the
Speaker 1: company is, isn't the way to do it. But there
Speaker 1: are ways to get there. So add to your regular
Speaker 1: metabolic exercise routines. And by the way, routine is the
Speaker 1: enemy of success, so make sure to change that up
Speaker 1: to your eating well that is whole foods, clean foods.
Speaker 1: Priority is protein and your consistent consumption of water. Add
Speaker 1: this on top. It's mass times from bioptos measures. It
Speaker 1: will help you properly digest proteins. It's now thirty percent
Speaker 1: stronger and prior to this reformulation, it provided sixteen hundred
Speaker 1: times more amino acids in our bodies versus people who
Speaker 1: didn't take it, and amino acids maintain your lean muscle,
Speaker 1: which is the only way to grow more. So go

Speaker 1: designed for the bodies He designed. President Trump has a
Speaker 1: political design, is what he's doing in terms of the border.
Speaker 1: It also happens to be a better moral design. Side
Speaker 1: by side comparison of Democrats agitating, body slamming, assaulting officers
Speaker 1: to get illegal immigrants who are wanted in their home
Speaker 1: countries for terrible crimes out of detention versus President Trump
Speaker 1: crooker Joe Biden.
Speaker 6: The US government has spent nearly one billion dollars to
Speaker 6: house illegal aliens and foreigns in expensive luxury hotels. Courtesy
Speaker 6: of you. The American taxpayer, and they want to spend
Speaker 6: billions and billions more. In many states, we are running
Speaker 6: out of hotel space because the rooms are all booked
Speaker 6: up with illegal aliens living in a very large way
Speaker 6: on the American taxpayer's dime. Meanwhile, we have thirty three
Speaker 6: thousand veterans in this country who are homeless and living
Speaker 6: very poorly, I might add, and it's a shame. They're
Speaker 6: living in filth and squalor on our streets. Nobody is
Speaker 6: doing a thing for them. We help them a lot
Speaker 6: during my four years, and it's all been dropped. Everything
Speaker 6: we did for our veterans has been dropped. It's a disgrace.
Speaker 6: Joe Biden puts illegal aliens before homeless veterans, and we
Speaker 6: cannot let this happen any longer. The American veteran is
Speaker 6: one of our greats. These are great, great people we
Speaker 6: have to take care of. When I am reelected, this
Speaker 6: national scandal will end. On day one, I will sign
Speaker 6: an executive order to cut off Joe Biden's massive spigot
Speaker 6: of funding for shelter and transport of illegal aliens and
Speaker 6: redirect a portion of those savings, a very large portion,
Speaker 6: I might add, to provide shelter and treatment for homeless
Speaker 6: American veterans.
Speaker 1: So contrast and compare. You have people who are willing
Speaker 1: to lay down their lives for another. And no greater
Speaker 1: love has man then to be willing to lay down
Speaker 1: your life for a brother. That's what veterans have been
Speaker 1: willing to do to the stance taken by the Democrats,
Speaker 1: and Trump wins morally. From a Christian perspective, are veterans
Speaker 1: better than others? From a Christian perspective? Are they better
Speaker 1: than others? Now? The veterans, I know, they don't want
Speaker 1: that hero status. They in fact get very uncomfortableted They
Speaker 1: don't like it, like, hey, I've heard fake from you
Speaker 1: enough Todd. I need to hear it anymore or I'll
Speaker 1: get saying to me, hey, stop emphasizing the fact that
Speaker 1: you didn't serve. You serve in your way, We served
Speaker 1: in ours. In fact, in the Bible we read if
Speaker 1: during a church service from the temple, you see someone
Speaker 1: super well dressed coming and say, hey, come sit up
Speaker 1: here with us, sit up a close to the front,
Speaker 1: and someone comes in who's needy and and no hygiene
Speaker 1: and perhaps homeless, you say no, no, no, stay and back.
Speaker 1: We don't want you up here. You're committing a grave
Speaker 1: sin because you're judging for God. God loves all of
Speaker 1: us equally. And the people who fought in our armed
Speaker 1: forces fought to uphold the rule of law that the
Speaker 1: behees to the civilian authorities. And Jesus Christ followed the
Speaker 1: civilian authorities right up to the cross, and it was
Speaker 1: mocked for that. Save yourself, if you're the Messiah, save yourself.
Speaker 1: And if you believe that Jesus was and is God,
Speaker 1: he could have, but he wasn't there to save himself.
Speaker 1: He was on the cross next to two criminals. One
Speaker 1: of them accepted Jesus and asked to be welcomed in
Speaker 1: the kingdom. And Jesus told him, very truly, I tell
Speaker 1: you today, he would join me in paradise. Could it
Speaker 1: have been a criminal like this on the other side
Speaker 1: of him? I just reported Mexican National Area Nunez Figuero,
Speaker 1: who's wanted it in Mexico for Mexico for his alleged
Speaker 1: role in unliving forty three students from a teacher's college
Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen. Forty three students unlived. They want him
Speaker 1: back to face justice. The Democrats would be saying, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: he's a Maryland man. Don't know what state he was
Speaker 1: living in at the time, but they would call him
Speaker 1: whatever state he's living in, that's lawlessness. Could that be
Speaker 1: like the criminal on the cross next to which Jesus stood,
Speaker 1: He didn't get in. The criminal who confessed to you
Speaker 1: is his lord and noticed that he was innocent and
Speaker 1: spoke those words. He got in. Because Heaven has borders.
Speaker 1: Jesus is on their cross. Because Jesus obeyed the civilian authorities,
Speaker 1: he could have crossed to a whole other border. Metaphorical sure,
Speaker 1: he could have raised an army in five seconds, an
Speaker 1: angelic army instantly, and five or ten thousand people to
Speaker 1: fight against Rome immediately within a week. He didn't. That
Speaker 1: was a figurative border he wouldn't cross. Jesus then crossed
Speaker 1: the border between life and death, and then he came
Speaker 1: back in the first person and only person in history
Speaker 1: to bring himself back from the dead cross that border.
Speaker 1: Heaven has borders, and as rules, they're gonna check ID.
Speaker 1: They don't really need the ID. Not everybody gets in.
Speaker 1: If you believe everybody gets into Heaven, you don't believe
Speaker 1: in Heaven, you believe in Earth two point zero. And
Speaker 1: if you don't believe that to whom much is given,
Speaker 1: much is expected, then take what you've been given and
Speaker 1: know that we can come and take it. The border
Speaker 1: war is a spiritual war. Story Number two, President Trump,
Speaker 1: the Qatar airplane, and the Bible. Now, why look at
Speaker 1: this from the perspective of the Bible, Because the Bible
Speaker 1: is good. God's word is good for teaching, instruction and
Speaker 1: rebuke across the board. And I've been thinking about this
Speaker 1: in a real worldly sense. In fact, I've been using
Speaker 1: my own wisdom to think through this, and I felt
Speaker 1: uneasy about it. Every time I tried to make an
Speaker 1: argument for this, I felt uneasy, starting with the fact
Speaker 1: that it's ABBC News that broke this story. So of
Speaker 1: course I believe ABC News is lying because it has
Speaker 1: to do with President Trump, and ABC News hates President Trump.
Speaker 1: This is the headline I first saw. Trump administration poised
Speaker 1: to accept Palace in the Sky as a gift for
Speaker 1: Trump from Qatar, sources. Luxury jumbo jed is to be
Speaker 1: used as Air Force one, sources told ABC News Jonathan
Speaker 1: carl and Catherine Falders sore. Right there. I know those
Speaker 1: are two people who loathe President Trump, and then Trump
Speaker 1: poised to accept as a gift to Trump.
Speaker 2: No way.
Speaker 1: The second I read that, I said, no, it's not
Speaker 1: going to be for Donald Trump. It might be for
Speaker 1: the White House. President Trump says it's for the Department
Speaker 1: of Defense. So right away, of course some suspect of
Speaker 1: the story. So because he's my guy, I want to
Speaker 1: defend him, even though he don't agree with everything he does.
Speaker 1: If youny think I don't agree with everything he says,
Speaker 1: I want to defend him. And also because ABC is
Speaker 1: an enemy and I failed to pray for him. So
Speaker 1: there you go, the huge force of logs in my eye.
Speaker 1: Some notes from their Twitter story breaking Katar to gift
Speaker 1: four hundred million dollar plane to President Trump lie. According
Speaker 1: to the ABC News, the Trump administrations is set to
Speaker 1: accept a luxury Boeing seven forty seven to eight jumbo
Speaker 1: jet valued around four hundred million from the Katari royal family.
Speaker 1: The plane will serve as Air Force One for Trump
Speaker 1: until just before he leaves office, after which ownership will
Speaker 1: transfer to his Presidential Library Foundation. So it's to say
Speaker 1: this may be the most valuable gift ever given to
Speaker 1: the US by a foreign government. Fox News host and
Speaker 1: part time I'm Attorney General Pam Bondi said Trump's White
Speaker 1: House lawyers David Warrington concluded the arrangement is legally permissible,
Speaker 1: and Bondi, who by way, in addition to being a
Speaker 1: lawyer for Pfizer, who was also a registered agent for Qatar,
Speaker 1: provided the legal memo approving the deal. So I wanted
Speaker 1: to defend it. President Trump did a pretty good job
Speaker 1: of defending it. So the fact that the Defense Department
Speaker 1: is getting a gift free of charge of a seven
Speaker 1: forty seven aircraft to replace the forty year old Air
Speaker 1: Force one temporarily in very public and transparent transactions, so
Speaker 1: bothers the crooked Democrats. They insist we pay top dollar
Speaker 1: for the plane. Anybody can do that. The Dems are
Speaker 1: world class losers. Mega make America great again. I want
Speaker 1: to defend it. Boeing can't seem to produce an airplane
Speaker 1: because they're busy defending DEI and of course they're absolutely
Speaker 1: not unliving people who have been whistleblowers against them. That's
Speaker 1: never happened. But they can't seem to get Air Force
Speaker 1: one delivered so I want to defend it. So why
Speaker 1: do I continue to feel uneasy? I mean, we could
Speaker 1: use all sorts of debate techniques on this. We could
Speaker 1: point to Joe Biden. This isn't going to Trump personally.
Speaker 1: What about the fifty million for Joe Biden? What about
Speaker 1: Barack Obama becoming a billionaire after your left office because
Speaker 1: he's an experienced film director. What about William Jefferson blythe
Speaker 1: Clinton the Third and the Clinton Foundation, and in Chelsea
Speaker 1: getting her wedding paid for in her townhouse. And we
Speaker 1: can do all of that, and it's all correct. It's
Speaker 1: all a great comparison. Why did I feel an easy
Speaker 1: I took a break between recording segments. I sat down.
Speaker 1: God spoken in my heart. Stop thinking for yourself, think
Speaker 1: about me, and I explain what God said to me
Speaker 1: here in just a second after I let my mind
Speaker 1: relax and God enter into my mind. God is the
Speaker 1: author of all things. He's the author of your mind.
Speaker 1: He's the author of the pains we have. I mean
Speaker 1: he allows it. I mean God probably didn't tell me
Speaker 1: when I was thirteen years old it'd be a super
Speaker 1: good idea to jump off of a three story house
Speaker 1: into three mattresses. I don't think God said that. I
Speaker 1: don't think God said, hey, you know what, as an
Speaker 1: old dude, why don't you try to bench press four
Speaker 1: hundred pounds and not get bones purst in your shoulder?
Speaker 1: Why don't you do that? I don't think God said that.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things I decided to do contrary
Speaker 1: to God's word, and I pay the price. But I
Speaker 1: pay the price for being active. If you are an
Speaker 1: active person and that activity is starting to become impossible.
Speaker 1: I know people who love riding bikes, they can't ride anymore.
Speaker 1: It's their knees. I know people who love skiing, they
Speaker 1: can't ski anymore. It's their knees or their back. Then
Speaker 1: there's work related stuff. People who love the trades and
Speaker 1: can no longer do them. They can't well because their
Speaker 1: hands don't work. They can't be in construction because they
Speaker 1: literally can't get in and out of their trucks, so
Speaker 1: they're handing off the businesses to their kids. Or this
Speaker 1: a woman who loved horse riding and training people to
Speaker 1: ride horses and being a coach. She couldn't do it
Speaker 1: because she fell off a horse and was hemispherically paralyzed.
Speaker 1: Every single one of those conditions has been addressed successfully
Speaker 1: by renew dot health Care. They are, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: the world leaders in using stem cells responsibly, and they
Speaker 1: use manipulated stem cells. That is what this means. They
Speaker 1: get to reject eighty percent of the stem cells they
Speaker 1: look at because they only want the best twenty percent,
Speaker 1: because then they magnify those. They multiply it. In other words,
Speaker 1: they culture them to grow more. They control possession of
Speaker 1: these stem cells from point of birth and tell the injections,
Speaker 1: and they constantly test them, and again only from umbilical cords.
Speaker 1: I've done this three times and I will probably do
Speaker 1: it a fourth because I want to continue to do
Speaker 1: the things I love physically. Go check them out at
Speaker 1: renew dot Healthcare. They will tell you if they can
Speaker 1: help you. They will tell you how much it will cost,
Speaker 1: they will tell you how long it will take, and
Speaker 1: if you can afford it and you're ready to do it,
Speaker 1: they'll welcome you with open arms. If it's not something
Speaker 1: you can afford or you are not comfortable, they will
Speaker 1: thank you for a time and maybe even give you
Speaker 1: some suggestions for other ways to go. It's renewed r E.
Speaker 1: Nue Dot Healthcare. I feel very comfortable telling you I
Speaker 1: stand by these guys. I felt incredibly uncomfortable every time
Speaker 1: I tried to defend President Trump's purchase of this jet,
Speaker 1: or not purchase, but acceptance of it from Katar where
Speaker 1: there's the optics in the mockingbird media. But the mockingbird
Speaker 1: media can't hurt President Trump. They've completely lost the ability
Speaker 1: to change anyone's opinion about President Trump. They can't cause
Speaker 1: more people to hate him. That's topped out. So why
Speaker 1: by worry, Because as God said to me, he's a leader.
Speaker 1: We want to see godly behavior from a godly man.
Speaker 1: President Trump says God saved his life. President Trump says
Speaker 1: he worships Jesus. President Trump has spoken great, great things
Speaker 1: about how God made us as individuals. But what God TECs.
Speaker 1: He just recognized the covenants the original settlers of Americ
Speaker 1: if you want to put it that way. The settlers,
Speaker 1: they created a covenant with God. He just recognized this
Speaker 1: in a proclamation. And this is what got to me.
Speaker 1: This comes from desiring God. Now it says what a
Speaker 1: pastor may be. I understand President Trump's not pastor in chief,
Speaker 1: but he's a leader. When we open up to the
Speaker 1: lists of elder qualifications in one Timothy three to one
Speaker 1: through seven and Titus one sixty two nine, we might
Speaker 1: be surprised to find, first and foremost a summary trait
Speaker 1: that may sound unimpressively low bar to some ears and
Speaker 1: unattainably high to others. Above reproach one Timothy, chapter three,
Speaker 1: verse two. An overseer must be above reproach Titus chapter one,
Speaker 1: verses five through seven. This is why I left you
Speaker 1: in crete, so that you might appoint elders in every
Speaker 1: town as I directed you. If anyone is above reproach,
Speaker 1: the husband of one wife and his children are believers,
Speaker 1: not open to the charge of debauchery or an some bordination.
Speaker 1: For an overseer as God, Stuart must be above reproach. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't contend to believe that a four hundred dollars
Speaker 1: airplane given the Department of Defense is going to make
Speaker 1: President Trump give Qatar extra things. I don't know that
Speaker 1: to be the case, but I know it does not
Speaker 1: communicate being above reproach. On the other side of this,
Speaker 1: if you'd like to go back to the secular, there
Speaker 1: is the statue of liberty that was gifted to the
Speaker 1: United States. It's pretty expensive and very important to us,
Speaker 1: and it belongs to everybody. And you can still go
Speaker 1: tour it like you can still go up in it,
Speaker 1: unless they've stopped that. I still feel uneasy. I don't
Speaker 1: want our president to be this face of Christianity. I
Speaker 1: prefer that he be above reproach. If you're watching or
Speaker 1: listening to this on a platform or you can give feedback,
Speaker 1: I would love to hear what you think, So tell
Speaker 1: me what you think. You can do it in comment sections,
Speaker 1: you can do it at the Todd Herman Show dot com.
Speaker 1: You can do it at social media. But tell me
Speaker 1: what you think that I get this one wrong? And
Speaker 1: did God get it wrong? Maybe I got God wrong?
Speaker 1: Story number three the new Pope versus the old media.
Speaker 1: So Pope Leo to me is very much and this
Speaker 1: is shocking, a mixed bag, really shocking because he's a
Speaker 1: human being, but he's pope, so it's to be perfect. Now.
Speaker 1: In fact, did you see that his brother's got a
Speaker 1: mouth on him? His brother has called what was it,
Speaker 1: Lizzie Warren? He called her a terrible word for women
Speaker 1: that only other women get to use. Against women. But
Speaker 1: it's that way that men can't use it. And I'm
Speaker 1: not even gonna say what letter begins with, because you
Speaker 1: already figure out what it is. They called her a
Speaker 1: drunken that, and to some people's eyes, that's comforting, like Wow,
Speaker 1: he has a brother who's like Billy Carter back in
Speaker 1: the day, and if you're both at the age of fifty.
Speaker 1: Billy Carter was the brother of a president named Jimmy
Speaker 1: who is the second worst president in history first until
Speaker 1: there came Joe Biden. So the new pope, though, is
Speaker 1: very much a mixed bag. He is more nuanced on
Speaker 1: the border and on immigration than was the heretical pope
Speaker 1: before him. It was a heretic on issues related to
Speaker 1: human sexuality and marriage, et cetera. He was also an
Speaker 1: extremist in relation to immigration and was a Marxist full
Speaker 1: bore Pope Leo is far more nuanced. He admits that
Speaker 1: nations need to be able to protect who comes into
Speaker 1: the countries, but he also admits, and correctly so, that
Speaker 1: we're all sojourners, and that we are to be kind
Speaker 1: to sojourners, and that we must be compassionate in how
Speaker 1: we carry out laws, all solid things for a Christian
Speaker 1: religious leader. The mockingbird media so wants him to be
Speaker 1: their guy that they're finding anywhere they can make him
Speaker 1: their guy. Even when they get asked questions about Popolio's
Speaker 1: stance on abortion and an lgb Q so called t beliefs,
Speaker 1: they kind of just like to move past that.
Speaker 7: Claudio, I want to quote from then Cardinal Robert Prevos,
Speaker 7: and this is what he has said. We are often
Speaker 7: worried about teaching doctrine, but we risk forgetting that our
Speaker 7: first duty is to communicate the beauty and joy of
Speaker 7: knowing Jesus. That was an interview with Vatican News. Claudio,
Speaker 7: Do we know where Pope Leo stands on the issues
Speaker 7: like abortion, the LGBTQ community, women in the church, et cetera.
Speaker 3: Well, what we know for now, of course, Anna, is
Speaker 3: why he's chosen that name, Leo the fourteenth, Because every
Speaker 3: time a pope chooses the name of a previous pope,
Speaker 3: he wants to follow in the previous pope's footsteps. Now,
Speaker 3: Leo the thirteenth was a pope at the end of
Speaker 3: the nineteenth century in the beginning of the twentieth century
Speaker 3: who was really concerned about social justices, especially for workers
Speaker 3: at the time of the Industrial Revolution, when that affected
Speaker 3: really the rights of workers, but also created jobs, and
Speaker 3: it also made some old jobs disappear. And what's interesting
Speaker 3: here is that there was an Italian There was an
Speaker 3: Italian newspaper that just published an interview with the Archbishop
Speaker 3: of Belgrade in Serbia, who revealed that last night during dinner,
Speaker 3: they asked him, They asked the Pope, why why did
Speaker 3: you choose that name? And at least according to the
Speaker 3: Archbishop of Belgrade, he responded that, well, because we are
Speaker 3: in the same situation as Leo the thirteenth. Was the
Speaker 3: difference here is he said that we are now facing
Speaker 3: the digital revolution and as a consequence, a lot of
Speaker 3: jobs are going to be affected as well as workers' rights. Now,
Speaker 3: this is according to an Italian news I.
Speaker 1: Forgot what was the question she asked, Was it about
Speaker 1: digital job rights? It was equal pay for equal work,
Speaker 1: that's right. It was about the LGBQ so called t people,
Speaker 1: and they didn't want to talk about that from the
Speaker 1: Vatican at least, Well, if only there was a way
Speaker 1: to kind of uncover or this pope might be except
Speaker 1: that would mean you'd have to go look at what
Speaker 1: he said about the new media and what he said
Speaker 1: or not new media, about the old media, about the
Speaker 1: ancient media and their relationship to human kind. You'd have
Speaker 1: to go uncover that, and that might come from all
Speaker 1: of twelve years ago. But he did speak about digital.
Speaker 1: So I'll show you this in just a second. Because
Speaker 1: the new Pope, I don't think he's a friend of
Speaker 1: the old media or the tech media, particularly what they're
Speaker 1: doing to kids, minds and souls. He would prefer that
Speaker 1: they have clean minds and souls, at least as much
Speaker 1: as we're able to do that. There's that phrase that
Speaker 1: cleanliness is next to godliness. Now why is that the case?
Speaker 1: Because Jesus made clear it's not what goes into the
Speaker 1: body that makes it dirty, but what comes out that is,
Speaker 1: in fact our words, what comes out of the mouth.
Speaker 1: He's famous for talking about whitewashed tombs, people who look
Speaker 1: good on the outside but are spiritually dead on the inside.
Speaker 1: And Jesus did, in fact go and wash the feet
Speaker 1: of its followers. Now that was an act of serving.
Speaker 1: It was deeply spiritual, deeply meaningful, and it wasn't about
Speaker 1: taking a bath. It was about him showing I came
Speaker 1: to serve, not be served. But that phrase godliness is
Speaker 1: clumsiness is next to godliness. We're given these bodies when
Speaker 1: we are when we're changed by the Lord Jesus, we
Speaker 1: accept them as our Lord and savior. We agree to
Speaker 1: be changed by him. They become a home for the
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. Were made in His image. Caring for our
Speaker 1: bodies and keeping him clean is an active course of
Speaker 1: self care and for the care around us people around us,
Speaker 1: Because if you don't wash yourself, you stink and people
Speaker 1: hate you. And that's right, they should hate you. Well,
Speaker 1: they have to pray for you. But if you stink,
Speaker 1: they should hate you and then pray for you and
Speaker 1: then tell you to take a bath. So what do
Speaker 1: you use to take the bath? You can go to
Speaker 1: a great, big, huge company and they're probably in the
Speaker 1: background laughing as they take their soaps and test it
Speaker 1: on people in China who are there against their will,
Speaker 1: maybe in a weaker camp, one of those terrible camps.
Speaker 1: Or you could go to Alan Soaps. A soap is
Speaker 1: made in the United States of America by a family
Speaker 1: and they construct the soaps that are natural, all natural,
Speaker 1: no chemicals, whatsoever, very very mild soaps because they are
Speaker 1: inspired by Alan, who's fourteen. He's been through about eighteen operations.
Speaker 1: He's effectively nonverbal, and the rest of the world didn't
Speaker 1: want him. I mean, he has friends, et cetera. But
Speaker 1: now he can't be a good employee except he is.
Speaker 1: He invents fragrances of soap. He works every single day
Speaker 1: in packaging and quality control. His brother Ian, also impacted
Speaker 1: by autism, works there, and Amy, who got autism late
Speaker 1: in life. So when you are cleaning the temple of
Speaker 1: your body, why not use something that proves all lives matter.
Speaker 1: These kids, too, were knit together in their parents' wounds,
Speaker 1: the mother's wounds. Go to alansaps dot com slash todd.
Speaker 1: You get fifteen percent off all the products there, including
Speaker 1: the soap. It's allansaps dot com slash todd. So way
Speaker 1: back twelve years ago, then Cardinal Provost made a statement
Speaker 1: about the mockingbird media in the digital media that seems
Speaker 1: to indicate where he might stand on these issues of
Speaker 1: LGBQ so called t people. While the Roberty Provosts Prior
Speaker 1: General of the Augustinian Order reads from the address to
Speaker 1: the snout of Bishop's.
Speaker 5: Western mass media is extraordinarily effective in fostering within the
Speaker 5: general public enormous sympathy for beliefs and practices that are
Speaker 5: at odds with the Gospel, for example, abortion, homosexual lifestyle, euthanasia.
Speaker 5: Religion is at best tolerated by mass media as tame
Speaker 5: and quaint when it does not actively oppose positions on
Speaker 5: ethical issues that the media have embraced as their own. However,
Speaker 5: when religious voices are raised in opposition to these positions,
Speaker 5: mass media can target religion, labeling it as ideological and
Speaker 5: insensitive in regard to the so called vital needs of
Speaker 5: people in the contemporary world. The sympathy for anti Christian
Speaker 5: lifestyle choices that mass media fosters is so brilliantly and
Speaker 5: artfully ingrained in the viewing public that when people hear
Speaker 5: the Christian message, it often inevitably seems ideological and emotionally cruel.
Speaker 5: By contrast to the ostensible humaneness of the anti Christian perspective.
Speaker 5: Catholic pastors who preach against the legalization of abortion or
Speaker 5: the redefinition of marriage are portrayed as being ideologically driven,
Speaker 5: severe and uncaring, not because of anything they say or do,
Speaker 5: but because their audiences contrast their message with the sympathetic,
Speaker 5: caring tones of media produced images of human beings who,
Speaker 5: because they are caught in morally complex life situations, opt
Speaker 5: for choices that are made to appear as healthful and good.
Speaker 5: Note for example, how alternative families comprised of same sex
Speaker 5: partners and their adopted children are so benignly and sympathetically
Speaker 5: portrayed in television programs and cinema today. If the new
Speaker 5: evangelization is going to come to these mass media produced
Speaker 5: distortions of religious and ethical reality successfully, pastors, preachers, teachers,
Speaker 5: and catechists are going to have to become far more
Speaker 5: informed about the context of evangelizing in a world dominated
Speaker 5: by mass media.
Speaker 1: For me, evangelizing in a world dominated by mass media,
Speaker 1: what it has to do with these issues that are
Speaker 1: so easily used to hurt starts with why did Jesus come?
Speaker 1: Because he was assigned the role God the Father set
Speaker 1: him down and said, look, there's something I'm going to
Speaker 1: have you do, and you're not going to want to
Speaker 1: do it, but I'm going to make you do it.
Speaker 1: Not if you believe in the train and Godhead, Father's
Speaker 1: son in the Holy ghost always existed, always will exist
Speaker 1: together described in Genesis, described out the Bible. Jesus volunteered
Speaker 1: to do it. But why because he wanted to come
Speaker 1: and check out what it's like to be human? Why
Speaker 1: why didn't he come and check it out and then
Speaker 1: go back? Why did he choose to be born into
Speaker 1: a relative slave class? Why why did he choose to
Speaker 1: be subjected to punishment? Why did he serve in such
Speaker 1: a submissive way? Why? Well, because a lot of need
Speaker 1: to be fulfilled. But why not just wave it? Why
Speaker 1: not just God give up? What's the thing in golf?
Speaker 1: A mulligan or a do over? Because God can't argue
Speaker 1: with himself. He's unchanging and unchangeable. So why why did
Speaker 1: Jesus come? Because God so loved the world, so evangelizing
Speaker 1: into communities like this has to begin with love. And
Speaker 1: if you don't have love in your heart for people
Speaker 1: who are have been told their whole life that this
Speaker 1: is good and well, that just as a man who
Speaker 1: might choose to commit adultery on his wife, or a
Speaker 1: woman wife on her husband, or whatever form of sexual
Speaker 1: sin or financial sin, been told their whole life, this
Speaker 1: is okay, that you're the one person to come along
Speaker 1: and say I love you, and it's not okay. That
Speaker 1: has to be driven by love, or I think you
Speaker 1: failed because you're bringing hatred to the equation, which doesn't
Speaker 1: belong in evangelism. Now, the mockingbird media doesn't want to
Speaker 1: face this about the new Pope and the things he said.
Speaker 1: They want to color that away, they want to erase
Speaker 1: it away. But all around us there's signs that the
Speaker 1: Pope then cardinal was right and is right now. This
Speaker 1: is from the subway, I think in New York. It's
Speaker 1: an ad for Apple phones refurbished, reducing the iPhone twelve, thirteen,
Speaker 1: fourteen and fifteen refurbished one for every member of your polycule.
Speaker 1: He was right then, he's right now. Jesus said in
Speaker 1: the end times pople were reject sound teaching. They will
Speaker 1: be lovers of themselves. And he spoke of people who
Speaker 1: have the appearance of knowing God but lack all the
Speaker 1: power thereof, whose love has grown cold, grown cold. Let
Speaker 1: that not be us. This is the todd Hermanshow please
Speaker 1: go be well, be strong, be kind, and choose to
Speaker 1: walk in the very clear light of Jesus Christ.
