1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,839 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Three Stories version of the Todd Hermer Show. 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:09,679 Story number one idolators can buy Sydney Sweeney's bathwater, but 3 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,919 that's just one idol. Story number two Why Trump wins 4 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,199 hearts and minds? And story number three Jesus Christ can 5 00:00:16,359 --> 00:00:20,800 save all who run to him? Can Will people allow that? 6 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,839 We'll talk about this with the help of Bulwark Capital, Maagement, 7 00:00:24,879 --> 00:00:28,559 New Your riskpodcast dot com, and courtesy of God Almighty. 8 00:00:30,519 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 2: But Todd Herman Show is one percent disapproved by big pharma, 9 00:00:35,039 --> 00:00:42,640 technocrats and tyrants everywhere from the high mountains of Free 10 00:00:42,679 --> 00:00:50,200 American Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman. 11 00:00:53,439 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made, and these 12 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,640 are the times to which God is decided where shall live. 13 00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:03,200 I didn't bother to look to see who Sidney Sweeney is. 14 00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:05,959 I'll be frank and honest with you, because I truly 15 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,519 don't care. I did learn because I happened to see 16 00:01:09,519 --> 00:01:12,200 this come up on a Facebook page that she's from 17 00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:16,400 my former hometown, spoken Washington. I guess I wasn't born there, 18 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,599 but that's where I grew up. So I know that 19 00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:22,079 I know that she's super famous because I know there 20 00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:28,040 are people who are willing to buy soap that's made 21 00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:35,680 with drops of her bathwater, and I guess people consider 22 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:41,480 her very attractive. Now, NBC Chicago has this quote here. 23 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,959 It's weird in the best way. It's not. There's no, 24 00:01:45,159 --> 00:01:48,319 it can't be. There's no good, there's no. And incidentally, 25 00:01:48,879 --> 00:01:52,079 is there one woman one well, let me say this, 26 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,079 one opposite sex attract No. No, I don't even think 27 00:01:56,239 --> 00:01:59,920 same sex attracted women would say yeah, yeah, I need 28 00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:05,519 some soap made with the bathwater of another woman. Then again, 29 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,879 there are people who are buying shoes with the blood 30 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,560 of celebrities embedded in the heel. So what is idolatry. 31 00:02:15,879 --> 00:02:20,520 Idolatry is anything that separates us from God, that replaces 32 00:02:20,719 --> 00:02:25,080 in our heart's, minds and souls worship for God. I mean, 33 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,319 that's the biblical form of idolatry. Obviously, people can idolize 34 00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:30,599 someone like this to the degree that it gets super creepy. 35 00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:33,240 And if you're buying this soap, you have arrived at creepy. 36 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,599 You're at creepy level one hundred and creepy level one 37 00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:40,759 oh one is where you show up at Sydney Sweeney's 38 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,080 apartment and say, I bought your soap. I love you. 39 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,560 But there's another form of idolatry that's a little bit 40 00:02:49,719 --> 00:02:52,719 closer to my heart because it has to do with 41 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,639 someone I support. It has to do with someone for 42 00:02:56,719 --> 00:03:02,280 whom I voted. And there is a line, man, there's 43 00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:07,439 a real line, because it's not just the adoration, it's 44 00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:13,400 the idolatry around President Trump, expressed in one headline from 45 00:03:13,479 --> 00:03:19,439 a super well meaning writer. Super well meaning, but dang it, 46 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,439 this really drove me into a state of concern for 47 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,360 our souls. I'll explain that a second president Trump is 48 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,120 supported for many, many reasons. He spoke the words that 49 00:03:29,159 --> 00:03:30,960 aren't to be spoken. I'm going to build a wall. 50 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,680 It's going to be beautiful. That was prior to first term. 51 00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:37,000 He continues to speak words that shouldn't be spoken in 52 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,960 this society of speech codes. Mexico isn't sending their best 53 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,759 and brightest, sending their criminals. He continues to speak this 54 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,719 that America is getting ripped off for the joke of 55 00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:49,759 the world. Financially, we're paying all the bills, getting very 56 00:03:49,759 --> 00:03:52,919 little bit of the benefits. He's trying things economically that 57 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,080 are vitally important, and he's being told by rogue judges. Nope, 58 00:03:56,159 --> 00:03:58,879 you can't do it. So in the middle of all 59 00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:03,919 this is hanging your retirement future. So if President Trump wins, 60 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,879 it's one future. If he loses, we have another future altogether, 61 00:04:08,199 --> 00:04:11,800 and that's a future just of increasing amounts of debt, debt, debt, debt, debt, 62 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,039 and getting taken advantage of by the world. That either 63 00:04:14,039 --> 00:04:16,120 way it goes, you have to be able to retire. 64 00:04:17,439 --> 00:04:20,560 So here's a suggestion to you. Go find out to 65 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:26,680 what degree your portfolio is riddled with unnecessary risk, unnecessary costs, 66 00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:32,360 look at ways to lower costs to maximize your upside potential. 67 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,600 Because you only get one retirement, as you only get 68 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,600 one life on this earth, So get a second opinion. 69 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,120 Consider a Department of Retirement efficiency run by my friend 70 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,160 and brother, Zach Abraham. Zach will meet with you in 71 00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:48,680 person or on video via phone, whatever you like, you 72 00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:50,720 and your spouse or just do you. If that's the case, 73 00:04:51,079 --> 00:04:53,560 and all you have to do is go to the 74 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:59,160 website it's Know your Risk podcast dot com.

This is a song by Natasha Owens, a 80 00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:22,519 country singer, and it's a beautiful song. I love the song, 81 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:30,120 and it's describing President Trump in a certain way. 82 00:05:30,199 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 3: I am the children. 83 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:40,439 Speaker 2: Chosen. 84 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 4: Somebody had to do it. 85 00:05:49,639 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: All leaders are chosen by God or at least allowed 86 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,120 to be there. Joe Biden was allowed to be in 87 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,839 the White House because God allowed it. I do believe 88 00:05:57,879 --> 00:06:01,360 that President Trump is in act being far more godly 89 00:06:01,439 --> 00:06:05,720 policies and trying to I think President Trump is trying 90 00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:08,120 to push Pam Bond to do the right things about 91 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,639 what's going on in California in so called female sports. 92 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,800 I do believe that on the topic of unaliving babies, 93 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,079 I do believe President Trump has been far more godly 94 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:23,720 on many things. He's been far more godly. The chosen one. 95 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:28,279 We are all chosen. If you've accepted the Lord Jesus 96 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,000 and agreed to be changed by him and to abide 97 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,439 with him, you've been chosen, and you have very important 98 00:06:33,439 --> 00:06:36,959 tasks as well. That it begins in your home starts 99 00:06:36,959 --> 00:06:39,600 with abiding with Christ and then being a leader in 100 00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:43,079 your home depending on your gender, and how you lead, 101 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,319 to come under and lift up your spouse. To love 102 00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:48,920 your wife as Christ loved the Church, to respond to 103 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,319 your husband's spiritual direction, and the way that you respond 104 00:06:53,319 --> 00:06:55,680 to Jesus. So long as your husband is following Jesus. 105 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,000 To bring your kids up this way, that's being chosen too. 106 00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:01,439 You have a you have a ministry where you're at. 107 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,959 If you're a Christian, wherever you're at is a ministry. 108 00:07:05,079 --> 00:07:07,519 Your job and how you're seen is in ministry. So 109 00:07:07,639 --> 00:07:10,240 President Trump has been allowed to be in a role. 110 00:07:10,279 --> 00:07:12,439 And I do believe God protected him. I don't think 111 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,160 for five seconds that he survived those two things without 112 00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:19,839 God's help. The chosen One, there's only one true chosen one. 113 00:07:19,839 --> 00:07:25,439 That's Jesus Christ. He's the chosen one. Through him, all 114 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,759 of the things are made. Without him, nothing was made. 115 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,680 He is the way, the truth in the life, and 116 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,759 no one gets to the Father but through Jesus Christ, 117 00:07:33,839 --> 00:07:39,639 that's the chosen one. JD. Hall is a very smart writer, 118 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,480 and he writes a substack that is well worth reading, 119 00:07:43,639 --> 00:07:47,800 and in fact it's something to which you subscribe. He 120 00:07:47,839 --> 00:07:51,480 wrote a headline that really really got me concerned. The 121 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,759 data is in Trump is a unifying force in the church. 122 00:07:56,879 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 2: Love. 123 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 1: What have you believed? Churches are divided? Do not believe them? 124 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,319 They lie? Well, yeah, the media does lie. The left 125 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:07,120 does lie. And what we're seeing in this is statements 126 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,800 like this. I let a chapel this morning at Saint Brendan's. 127 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,680 This is Brian Suave writing on Twitter. At Saint Brendan's. 128 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,439 We usually begin with a call and response Welcome to 129 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,800 another day at Saint Bendan's, to which the students respond 130 00:08:18,839 --> 00:08:21,360 a gift from the Lord. Before I could get to that, 131 00:08:21,399 --> 00:08:25,360 the students began to chant Trump Trump, Trump. Absolutely sent 132 00:08:25,439 --> 00:08:30,240 me smiley face. Then they sang Palm Psalm two with 133 00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:33,519 more gusto than I've heard in some time. Scott Barbera 134 00:08:33,759 --> 00:08:38,879 retweeted this and add, yeah, this is a church in blasphemy. 135 00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:46,799 Uh yep. The name above all names is what name? 136 00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:53,240 Jesus is the name above all names. And the point 137 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,759 that he makes in this article JD. Hall, is that 138 00:08:57,159 --> 00:09:00,960 in fact, President Trump is very popular with evenge There 139 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,200 were some so called evangelicals said I can't stomach voting 140 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,080 for Trump, I won't vote. I refuse to vote for 141 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,039 Trump because he says rough things, and he has rough tweets, 142 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,279 and sometimes he says things that are horrible about women 143 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,559 or even two women, and I can't and I won't, 144 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,519 And they're the people who refuse to remember what Cammy 145 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:24,360 Harris was doing. Her closing argument to American males was, 146 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,840 you need to have access to these videos that you 147 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,399 don't tell people you look at, but you do it 148 00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:32,360 nights on your phones. That was her closing argument. One 149 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:37,679 of them. So President Trump, it can be a unifying 150 00:09:37,799 --> 00:09:42,080 force for the political beliefs of evangelicals. But in the church, 151 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:49,000 there is only one name around which Christians rally in 152 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,000 a church, and that is the name of Jesus Christ. 153 00:09:51,039 --> 00:09:53,720 And if you find yourself rallying around the name of 154 00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:56,759 any other person in a church, you are not in 155 00:09:56,799 --> 00:10:01,600 a Christian church. There was a church we talked about 156 00:10:01,639 --> 00:10:04,240 some time ago where they had put out a coloring 157 00:10:04,279 --> 00:10:09,440 book and it said that we unite around our leader, 158 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:17,639 and the leader was not Jesus, it was their visionary pastor. Guys, 159 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:23,600 that's not a Christian church. Jesus said, it is upon 160 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,200 this rock I will build my church speaking of Peter's 161 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,559 confession that Jesus is the Messiah. It is upon this 162 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,200 rock I will build my church, and the gates of 163 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,159 Hades will not prevail against it. He didn't say churches 164 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,600 or I'm going to go out and build a series 165 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:46,600 of let's say micro churches and different flavors of churches 166 00:10:46,639 --> 00:10:50,440 and franchises. And my church and his church has a definition. 167 00:10:50,799 --> 00:10:54,360 It is his name above all other names. Please keep 168 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,759 that in mind. Idols are anything that separates you from gods. 169 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:03,320 And if you are idolizing any politician and chanting his 170 00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:07,639 or her name and church, you have an idle issue. 171 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,759 Story number two, why President Trump wins Hearts and hands. 172 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,519 There's a saying in the evangelical world that we are 173 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:21,240 the hearts and hands of Jesus. We can also be 174 00:11:21,279 --> 00:11:23,240 his eyes and ears. And this is all coming from 175 00:11:23,279 --> 00:11:25,759 the apostle Paul. But we get to be the hearts 176 00:11:25,759 --> 00:11:28,639 of Jesus to care for his people. Let him care 177 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,639 for his people through us his hands in building things 178 00:11:31,639 --> 00:11:34,799 for the kingdom and building the Kingdom of God. I 179 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,159 love the saying heart, minds, in hands, and we look 180 00:11:38,159 --> 00:11:39,679 at this in our task and the things that we 181 00:11:39,759 --> 00:11:44,200 carry out today. And President Trump is winning hearts and 182 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,480 hands together. This is something he does for which he 183 00:11:48,519 --> 00:11:51,759 does not get enough credit. I truly believe that President 184 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,360 Trump has somewhere in his heart a massive desire to 185 00:11:55,519 --> 00:11:58,720 rebuild American manufacturing. It makes sense because what did God 186 00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:01,639 give him as a love of doing. President Trump loves 187 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,799 to build. He also loves deal making, he loves being 188 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:09,240 the financial guy. Those two aspects are winning hearts and hands, 189 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,360 and it doesn't get enough attention, even as much as 190 00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:16,360 President Trump dominates media because you know, he owns the media. 191 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,120 And President Trump and some of his allies have opened 192 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,639 the door to Hollywood in a way that has never 193 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:27,399 been done in our history. Angel Studios when they made 194 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,879 Sound of Freedom, this faced massive opposition, and once it 195 00:12:31,919 --> 00:12:34,639 got into theaters. Do you remember the response of the 196 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,799 left when people who align with President Trump were saying, 197 00:12:38,919 --> 00:12:42,759 finally a movie about the trafficking of God's children in 198 00:12:42,759 --> 00:12:45,799 that great line, and that God's kids are not for sale. 199 00:12:45,879 --> 00:12:48,080 They started to say, this doesn't happen, None of this 200 00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:50,639 ever occurred, and they attacked the guy who was featured 201 00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:53,679 in the film, whom the film was based. They tried 202 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:58,960 to take him down. Angel Studios created that movie. They're 203 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,879 out now with another film that just got done with 204 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,759 the theatrical release, so you can't see it, except I'm 205 00:13:03,759 --> 00:13:05,039 going to give you a way to get to it. 206 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,559 This is a great film to sit through with the family, 207 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,480 the kids and their grandkids. It's called The King of 208 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,600 Kings and it's a story told through the eyes of 209 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,200 Charles Dickens. In this animated feature, Charles Dickens takes his 210 00:13:16,279 --> 00:13:19,639 little boy aside and one on one in the study 211 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,519 late at night, he reads from an actual work that 212 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,480 Dickens created called The Life of Our Lord, on which 213 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,480 this is inspired, and that little boy's life changes on 214 00:13:28,519 --> 00:13:31,600 that spot. He goes from being obsessed with King Arthur 215 00:13:31,759 --> 00:13:36,559 and the slicing off of people's noggins to a kid 216 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,000 who cannot wait to burst from that room and go 217 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,279 share the Gospel with his sleeping older siblings. It's a 218 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,360 fantastic tale that made me want to be involved in it, 219 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,360 just like the little boy became involved with the Life 220 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:53,639 of Jesus.

This is a report 235 00:14:41,519 --> 00:14:47,039 from someone who is facing a brand new future. The 236 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,720 Pennsylvania steel companies and the workers there felt like they 237 00:14:50,759 --> 00:14:53,039 were going to be extinct. I got emails from people 238 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,960 saying I voted for President Trump, I supported President Trump. 239 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,039 These tariffs are killing me. We got multiple emails like this, 240 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,320 please please, please don't support the tariff's thought. My response was, look, 241 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,840 if we don't do something, our economy is going to 242 00:15:06,919 --> 00:15:09,200 crash and burn, and it will be on our kids 243 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,759 and grandkids. I'd rather live through it than them. Listen 244 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,879 to this in regards to winning hearts through hands, for one. 245 00:15:17,679 --> 00:15:20,559 Speaker 3: And a half long years, US steel workers have held 246 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,840 their breaths, unsure of what their future held. 247 00:15:24,279 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: How I feel is I could take a breath today. 248 00:15:26,799 --> 00:15:31,440 It seemed like through this whole sale that was pending, 249 00:15:31,759 --> 00:15:33,879 it was. It just gave you stress. 250 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,039 Speaker 3: Now third generation steel worker Andrew Macy has the deal 251 00:15:38,159 --> 00:15:42,080 he's pushed hard for all just months before he retires. 252 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:43,559 Speaker 1: It's just wonderful. 253 00:15:43,679 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 4: It's like early Christmas man here in the mont Valley 254 00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:51,480 and he's protecting at least eleven thousand jobs for Pennsylvanians. 255 00:15:51,559 --> 00:15:53,919 Speaker 3: North Braddock Mayor Cleaneslee was one of a group of 256 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,720 Mond Valley leaders who came together in recent months to 257 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,559 push leaders in Washington to approve a deal that led 258 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,879 to invest in the Man Valley. Reacting to this news, 259 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,080 they all feel similar. 260 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: They all should feel similar. This is their livelihood and 261 00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:10,600 it's beyond that. It's something they were given the power 262 00:16:10,679 --> 00:16:15,080 to do with their hands. I stand in awe of 263 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,039 that form of work because I can't do it, but 264 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,200 I benefit from it, and so does everyone else. President 265 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:27,240 Trump wins hearts through hands. He also wins hearts by 266 00:16:27,279 --> 00:16:30,440 having a heart for our own money. To who much 267 00:16:30,519 --> 00:16:32,919 is given, much is expected. The Bible talks a lot 268 00:16:32,919 --> 00:16:35,480 about money. Jesus talks a lot about money. He talks 269 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,960 a lot about stewarding it. Sometimes it's metaphorical for how 270 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,919 we steward what we've been given in terms of the 271 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,600 gift of redemption. Hey, you've been redeemed? Are you willing 272 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,279 to share it with others? Because you remember the Bible 273 00:16:46,279 --> 00:16:48,240 where Jesus said, Hey, if you feel like it, you've 274 00:16:48,279 --> 00:16:51,039 got some extra time on the weekend, would you think 275 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,960 about maybe once in a while telling people about me, 276 00:16:54,039 --> 00:16:57,720 but not too hard. Don't thump the Bible. Actually it 277 00:16:57,759 --> 00:16:59,799 was the command go and make disciples of all nations. 278 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,600 Remember that because we've been given much. Well, our country's 279 00:17:03,639 --> 00:17:07,400 been given much in terms of resources, our location, our 280 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,319 relative safety, the relative difficulty of attacking us, a constitution 281 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:16,400 written by men who observed how God gave us rights 282 00:17:16,559 --> 00:17:21,519 and unalienable. So President Trump is also winning hearts and minds, 283 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,480 and winning hearts through having a heart for our money. 284 00:17:24,559 --> 00:17:30,480 Rick Grinnell announced something incredible ish about the Kennedy Center. 285 00:17:30,519 --> 00:17:34,799 I say incredible ish because through Elon Musk's efforts. We 286 00:17:34,799 --> 00:17:38,079 have learned that we've had a system in Washington, DC 287 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,240 custom designed for fraudsters to take advantage. 288 00:17:42,279 --> 00:17:46,759 Speaker 4: Here's Rick Renard, our great new CFO went through the 289 00:17:46,839 --> 00:17:50,119 twenty four and twenty five budgets of the Kennedy Center 290 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:56,039 and found twenty six million dollars in phantom revenue, fake revenue. 291 00:17:56,839 --> 00:18:00,720 It's criminal. We're going to refer this to the US 292 00:18:00,799 --> 00:18:05,480 Attorney's Office here. We're lucky enough to have the Attorney 293 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,920 General on the board of the Kennedy Center who. 294 00:18:07,799 --> 00:18:09,319 Speaker 1: Heard all the details today. 295 00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:14,559 Speaker 4: She heard the details, and this is unacceptable in America 296 00:18:15,039 --> 00:18:20,799 to have a fake revenue of twenty six million dollars, 297 00:18:20,799 --> 00:18:26,480 fraud on previous donors. 298 00:18:25,799 --> 00:18:29,519 Speaker 1: It's unacceptable. And he's going to take it right over 299 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:34,640 to Pam Bondy. Well, she'll talk a lot about it 300 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:40,599 on the Fox News. The willingness to uncover a system 301 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,039 that has been set up to encourage frauds, to enable 302 00:18:44,079 --> 00:18:47,279 it to nurture it is winning hearts because we've all 303 00:18:47,319 --> 00:18:50,599 had a sense of this. President Trump has been unafraid 304 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,079 to show us in vivid detail. Here is the fraud, 305 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,480 Here are the systems that create fraud. So he's winning hearts, 306 00:18:57,519 --> 00:19:01,240 he's winning minds, he's winning with her hands and hearts. Meanwhile, 307 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:12,119 the Republicans are arguing about nine billion dollars cutting nine 308 00:19:12,599 --> 00:19:17,960 billion dollars. The Republicans who are unwilling to cut NPR, 309 00:19:19,079 --> 00:19:23,640 they're not winning hearts and minds because everybody knows Washington 310 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,200 d C. Has been given much and much is expected. 311 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:32,319 So their tactic is, hey, you need to give us 312 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:38,799 much more. Story number three. Jesus can save all who 313 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,640 run to him. And some would say that Jesus saves 314 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,960 all who run to him. Now, I believe there are 315 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,480 people who run to Jesus to be saved, and they 316 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,400 want very much to walk with him, but the cost 317 00:19:51,519 --> 00:19:55,400 is too high. You think of the rich young ruler 318 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,279 who went to Jesus and said, Rabbi, Rabbi, Rabbi, how 319 00:19:59,279 --> 00:20:01,119 do I inherit the Kingdom of God? How do I 320 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,119 do this? And Jesus said, well, follow all the commandments. 321 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,759 And the rich young ruler said, I have. I've done 322 00:20:06,799 --> 00:20:09,279 this my whole life. I followed the commandments. And then 323 00:20:09,319 --> 00:20:12,960 the God of the universe always existed, always will exist, 324 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,480 said to him, then sell all your possessions and come 325 00:20:15,519 --> 00:20:19,400 and follow me, and the rich young ruler went away 326 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,920 sad because the cost was too high. It wasn't the 327 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,839 fact that Jesus was telling everybody give up everything to 328 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:33,119 follow me. He had his apostles who did that, and 329 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,920 he showed them through ways various that he could provide, 330 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,960 that God would provide, that they wouldn't need things, they 331 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,759 would be taken care of. They grew to trust him 332 00:20:40,799 --> 00:20:43,000 and to need him. But he didn't go to every 333 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,880 single person to say, Okay, sell everything, all your five thousand, 334 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,759 come with me. Don't do business, don't provide for your families, 335 00:20:48,799 --> 00:20:50,599 just come with me. In the case of the rich 336 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,680 young ruler, he knew what was going to happen. 337 00:20:54,279 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 2: Here. 338 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 1: He was being given an opportunity to be a thirteenth 339 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:03,119 apostle was too high. He went to be saved, observed 340 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,920 the costs and said, I don't want it. Sometimes people 341 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:12,440 have to be at the bottom of their life to 342 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,119 finally put a hand up and accept Jesus. I don't 343 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:21,079 think it gets to a closer bottom of life below 344 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,240 the bottom than David Berkowitz. Do you remember David Berkowitz. 345 00:21:25,599 --> 00:21:29,000 David Berkowitz was called the son of Sam and he 346 00:21:29,079 --> 00:21:32,759 went about unliving people in New York. Said he'd been 347 00:21:32,799 --> 00:21:35,039 inspired by the barking of a dog who told him 348 00:21:35,039 --> 00:21:40,119 to do this. He's in prison, and at that bottom 349 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,359 he went running to Jesus. We'll share with you his 350 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:49,279 story here in just a second. Sometimes there is physical need, 351 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,440 right There are times where, for instance, you have got 352 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,519 to sleep. I'm this guy that if I don't if 353 00:21:55,559 --> 00:21:57,599 I wake up at a certain time in my sleep cycle. 354 00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,480 It's the bizarre thing. It only happens to me a 355 00:21:59,519 --> 00:22:01,640 couple times year, But I wake up at a certain 356 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,839 point in the sleep cycle, and I know I will 357 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:08,319 not be awake, fully awake until I repeat or complete 358 00:22:08,319 --> 00:22:10,480 that twenty minute sleep cycle. It's so bizarre. This happened 359 00:22:10,519 --> 00:22:13,519 in the day producer Alex saw this. I told him, man, 360 00:22:13,559 --> 00:22:15,599 when we're done, I'm to take a nap. I had to. 361 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,119 And it's not like I didn't get a lot of sleep. 362 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,920 I got like seven hours and forty minutes of sleep. 363 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:20,799 But I woke up at this certain point in a 364 00:22:20,799 --> 00:22:23,799 sleep cycle. Literally the moment Alex walked out the door, 365 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,680 I laid down on this floor. I've got this thing 366 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,720 I sleep on over here. Sometimes I take a nap poop. 367 00:22:27,759 --> 00:22:31,519 I'm out. Your body would communicate you in ways like 368 00:22:31,599 --> 00:22:33,519 that that you can feel. But your body. If you're 369 00:22:33,559 --> 00:22:36,759 twenty five, you have entered a point where you are 370 00:22:36,759 --> 00:22:40,160 losing muscle, and you can look at this through a 371 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,920 body composition scale. By the time you're thirty five, you 372 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,640 could lose a lot of muscle. If you're my age, 373 00:22:46,759 --> 00:22:48,960 I'm in my late fifties, and you want to be 374 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,400 able to steward the lean muscle you have with or 375 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,440 even attempt to put any on male or female. You 376 00:22:54,559 --> 00:22:58,720 need every tool that your disposal. Consistent resistance training, don't 377 00:22:58,759 --> 00:23:01,400 do the same exercises all the time, variant you know. 378 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,200 I'm a big, big, big fan of the CrossFit methodology. 379 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,119 That's what I use. Make sure you get metabolic hits 380 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,599 in there. Do some cardio, but don't go out and 381 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,400 run two miles, three miles, five miles, seven miles, ten 382 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,519 miles all the time. That's catabolic. It eats muscle. Make 383 00:23:15,559 --> 00:23:17,640 sure that you eat a ton of protein. In my case, 384 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,720 I eight three hundred and sixty grams of protein every 385 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,039 single day. And yes, that's a lot. And then here's 386 00:23:22,079 --> 00:23:25,160 the hack. About four times a day I use mass 387 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,079 simes This comes from Bioptimizers. They've been in the supplement 388 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,920 business for decades. That matters because they're one of the 389 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,079 good players in the supplement industry that is otherwise filled 390 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,440 with some pretty bad players. Mass Simes will help you 391 00:23:39,519 --> 00:23:43,279 steward the lean muscle you have by producing sixteen hundred 392 00:23:43,319 --> 00:23:46,640 times more amino acids in your bodies. Wait check, it's 393 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,799 now thirty percent more potent, so even more than that. 394 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,960 Go to Biptmizers dot com slash tod.

Foptimizers dot com slash Todd 399 00:24:04,799 --> 00:24:09,000 promo Coo Todd. This is David Berkowitz. He'd been called 400 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,519 the son of Sam. He was known as a person 401 00:24:11,559 --> 00:24:14,200 who went and unlived people in and around New York 402 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,640 because a barking dog told him to do it. Here's 403 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:18,640 where he's at today. 404 00:24:18,759 --> 00:24:20,759 Speaker 5: I had a lot of, you know, mental health issues. 405 00:24:20,799 --> 00:24:24,960 I really was losing my mind. I've become schizophrenic, and 406 00:24:25,319 --> 00:24:29,200 I believe that was a result of the demons that 407 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,559 were really inside to be working. And I opened myself 408 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,839 up to and ten years into my prison sentences, I'm struggling, 409 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,079 you know, to survive day by day. Along comes this 410 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,119 fellow and he said, listen, I know I know about 411 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,400 your case and everything, but I would like to just 412 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,279 tell you that Jesus Christ loves you and he's got 413 00:24:50,319 --> 00:24:52,400 a plan of purpose for your life. And I say, okay, 414 00:24:52,559 --> 00:24:54,599 I've heard that before, but there's no way God could 415 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,559 love me. I've done too many things that are bad. 416 00:24:56,759 --> 00:24:59,920 There's no way God could forgive me. He says, no, David, run, 417 00:25:00,279 --> 00:25:03,319 God wants to forgive you, and he sent me here 418 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,519 to tell you that. And suddenly, once again, it was 419 00:25:05,519 --> 00:25:09,079 around midnight, in the darkness of my cell, I got 420 00:25:09,079 --> 00:25:11,480 down on my knees on the concrete floor, and I 421 00:25:11,559 --> 00:25:13,480 just began to pour my heart out to the Lord. 422 00:25:13,559 --> 00:25:16,079 The Bible says, whosoever shall call upon the name of 423 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,359 the Lord shall be saved. He promises that every man 424 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,640 and woman throughout the ages of time, whoever puts their 425 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,319 trust into the Lord Jesus Christ, not only are they 426 00:25:25,319 --> 00:25:27,720 going to be received forgiveness of sins, but they're going 427 00:25:27,759 --> 00:25:30,039 to start a whole new life. One day I see 428 00:25:30,079 --> 00:25:32,599 the Lord Jesus Christ face to face, I'm. 429 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: Going to look into his eyes. 430 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 5: Thank you, Jesus, Thank you so much for saving a 431 00:25:37,079 --> 00:25:39,759 wretch like me. And then my message has always been 432 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:41,799 that if he can do it for someone like me, 433 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,519 who is one of the chief of sinners, he can 434 00:25:44,599 --> 00:25:46,920 do it for anybody who just put their trust in him. 435 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: That's from Holy Bible believer on Instagram. Put that up. 436 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:57,279 Does it bother you that the Son of Sam having 437 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,799 accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as this Lord and savior, 438 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,200 he is apparently attempting to bide with him, is absolutely 439 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,559 trying to make disciples. That's a disciple making video. He's 440 00:26:07,559 --> 00:26:10,920 doing is he was commanded to go and make disciples. 441 00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:14,559 Does it bother you that he will be in heaven 442 00:26:14,599 --> 00:26:17,960 with you? If you're a non Christian, do you look 443 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,799 at that and say, see, that's the hypocrisy, that's the hypocrisy. 444 00:26:23,759 --> 00:26:26,920 I have friends who are good people, they've never harmed anybody. 445 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,160 They just don't believe in God, and so God would 446 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,519 strike them down, he would send them to hell. Does 447 00:26:31,559 --> 00:26:35,359 that bother you? That's a very common worry, and I 448 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,119 can see why I bother you, and I would ask 449 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:45,039 you this question, Do you want heaven to be a 450 00:26:45,079 --> 00:26:51,599 carbon copy of Earth? Do you want pain for eternity? 451 00:26:52,079 --> 00:26:55,319 Do you want arguments for eternity? In thieving for eternity 452 00:26:55,839 --> 00:27:01,880 and cheating for eternity and violence for eternity? The Lord 453 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,759 will not have that. The new Heaven and the new 454 00:27:03,799 --> 00:27:06,519 Earth is a return to the design of the garden. 455 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:11,640 And where did the garden fall apart? For humanity? You 456 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,039 could say it wasn't a big deal. All Adam and 457 00:27:15,079 --> 00:27:18,000 Eve did was eat from the tree of the knowledge 458 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,960 of good and evil? Right, That's all they did. 459 00:27:20,039 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 5: Right? 460 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:26,559 Speaker 1: Nope, what they did was disobey the God who loved 461 00:27:26,559 --> 00:27:28,559 them and who walk with them on a daily basis. 462 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,680 They looked him in the eye, They had a very 463 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,880 personal relationship walking around with each other. He told them 464 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:41,000 in person, you can eat from all of the plants 465 00:27:41,039 --> 00:27:43,079 here as you tend the garden, just not that one 466 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,759 that's the tree of the knowledge of good and evil 467 00:27:44,799 --> 00:27:47,839 that belongs to me. Do not eat it. So number 468 00:27:47,839 --> 00:27:52,400 one they stole. Number two. They tried to make of 469 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,079 themselves gods because that's what Satan promised them. But above 470 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,039 all of this was they said to God, now we're 471 00:27:58,039 --> 00:28:01,319 going to go our own way. That was the opening 472 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,400 of the doorway to sin, and it's what eventually led 473 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:13,079 to their being unalived spiritually and us. So, yes, I 474 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,359 have friends and family who are great people. They're good people, 475 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:23,039 and they don't believe. Therefore they disobey God on many issues. 476 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,319 And it's very popular to say, well, but they're not 477 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:32,319 harming anybody. They're harming themselves. God's not going to have 478 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,279 the New Heaven and the New Earth filled with people 479 00:28:34,279 --> 00:28:38,480 who dissent. There's going to be no descent, there's going 480 00:28:38,559 --> 00:28:41,279 to be no disagreement. There's going to be no defying 481 00:28:41,359 --> 00:28:43,960 God in the New Heaven and New Earth. And part 482 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,799 of our task here on earth is to allow the 483 00:28:46,799 --> 00:28:50,039 Holy Spirit to change us, to sanctify us, to make 484 00:28:50,119 --> 00:28:52,279 us more holy, more and more and more. So we 485 00:28:52,359 --> 00:28:55,000 want more of God, more of Jesus, so that we 486 00:28:55,039 --> 00:28:56,960 want to have the New Heaven in the earth. We 487 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,000 want that relationship, we want that closeness grave, the looking 488 00:29:01,039 --> 00:29:05,720 in his eyes. That's what he's seeking. He's not seeking 489 00:29:05,759 --> 00:29:12,359 people who say, well, neat story, bro. So Jesus Christ 490 00:29:12,599 --> 00:29:14,839 can save all who run to him. And if you 491 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,160 run to him with pureness of heart. He'll know that 492 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,279 and in that case you will be saved. This is 493 00:29:20,319 --> 00:29:23,200 the Todd Herman Shaw. Please go, be well, be strong, 494 00:29:23,359 --> 00:29:26,839 be kind, and please make every effort to walk in 495 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:27,640 the light of Christ.
