Speaker 1: Welcome to the three Stories version of the Todd Hermer Show.
Story number one, a clump of cells went out and
won the Heisman Trophy. Congratulation clump of Cells. Story number two,
Pete Hegseeth hates diversity, he does in a certain setting.
And story number three for a pastor who praised the
most evil king in biblical history. He had one motivation
to do that, diversity. We'll talk about this with the
help of Bulwark Capital Management to know your Riskgrader dot com.
And a reminder, we can't do anything of eternal value
if we're not attached to the vine. Thank you, Lord, But.
Speaker 2: Todd Herman Show is one percent disapproved by big pharma

Free America. Here's the Emerald City exime Todd to her Man.
Speaker 1: Today is to day the Lord has made, and these
are the times to which God has decided we shall live.
Dear friend of mine, friends since I think best friends
since eighth grades, and not kind of a brother, I
mean as much of a blood brother as I can
ever have. He's a very strict Catholic, and he made
a mistake. He and his girlfriends dash fiancee. They had
sexual relations before they got married, and man, it shocked
me because this is a guy who didn't do that
through all of high school. And it wasn't like he
didn't have opportunities. He was very popular with girls, and
it wasn't like I didn't go on double dates with
him out to Lake cabin is where we had overnight
to do that, you know, each with her own girlfriend,
and he didn't do it. So I remember when they
found out his girlfriend desh fiance was pregnant, and it
just crushed my friend and he called me and I
remember him weeping of the phone. My life is over
and I've screwed up my girlfriend desh Fiance's life. I've
just it's over. And if you were to look at
him today and ask him, what is what is your role?
What has God given you? And he would say the
unspeakable gift of seven children? And at that time, my
friend's obsession was being a world renowned pop star, dash
recording star who we used to write songs together, and
he can't relate to that person anymore. He looks at
his old CDs that he put out and the tours
he was on. He looks at pictures of himself warming
up for these big bands and these huge recording studios
in Los Angeles, And why why did I ever take
even an hour to focus on this rather than focusing
on my family. Now he still plays, he writes symphonies.
He's a brilliant musician, but he writes them all in
service of the church. He's a Catholic, and he's had
a lot of his work played in churches, never with
his name. Doesn't care. But God took this mistake and
turned it to good. Now he would be the first
to tell you, and he would tell you he's paid
a cost. Right, there's greatness, great family, Still married to
his wife, fruitfully so. But he'd be the first to
tell you. You can choose your sin, but not your accountability,
and he's he's paid. We all do when we sin,
might not be right away. Sometimes the sin is struggle,
extra struggle that you should not have or would not
have had. In the case of King David in the Bible,
when he sinned with Bathsheba, not that he wasn't sinning
before with a concubine, but when he sinned with Bathsheba
in such an open and defiant way, it destroyed his household. Forever,
there was never again peace in King David's home. His
own sons sought his death, attempted to steal his kingdom.
One of his sons was so angry, so defiant, so
filled with hatred, that, having kicked his father out of
the castle, he then had sex with his father's wife
on a rooftop for all of the city to see.
David paid a kaf We all pay costs when we sin.
We don't get to choose our accountability. And then there's
just the ordinary costs of life. I work around a
bunch of guys whose life has been building homes. Now
I can't build. I can't build a box. In fact,
this morning we had a water leak out our house
that I may have cost by leaving the garage or open.
It was only minus twelve. That's I heard that. I
thought that was good for houses. And I couldn't find
the stink and off valve for the hot water. So
I'm crawling around in the crawl space. Then I was thinking, wait,
it's not down here. I can't build things. But my
friends do. They build houses. They do the foundations, some
of them still do the framing, some of them have
now built these luxury hotels. But man, when I see
them walk, they paid such a price. Some friends of
mine were world class wrestlers, well into college, some of
them well into the Olympics, and they're paying the cost.
If you're in that position, and it's in general, it is,
it is pressing upon you. And you're done with the surgeries,
You stinking done with the stinking pills. Go see what
renew dot Healthcare can do for you. And look if
it's an ankle, if it's a shoulder, if this is
an affordable thing, and you do it as part of
a vacation at part of our tow Mexico, a simply
beautiful place. These stem cells will kill the inflammation in
your body. They will rebuild muscle, cartilage, tendon. The stem
cells come only from placenta's and umbilical cords, and renew
pays for the entire birthing process for these women. They
monitor the health of the baby and the mother prior
to and well after the birth to make sure that
you're getting the best quality stem cells. So for a
single joint, even multiple joints, this is very affordable. Go
to renew r E n U E DOT Healthcare. It's
r E n U E dot Healthcare. Tell them you're
part of the Todd hermitial family and know that I've
had this done twice and I'm going on a third time.
Oh so, speaking of stem cells, a clump of cells
wentz and won a Heisman Trophy. Travis Hunter's mother spoke
about a mistake she made and what the world told
her about this mistake. It's very similar to mistake my
dear friend made. Although his kids did not go when
a Heisman trophy.
Speaker 3: He's still never serious.
Speaker 4: So it's like, I love the person that he is,
but I'm also grateful that because what they said was
my biggest mistake turned out be the biggest blessing. So
there that just goes to show you you can have
you can make mistakes, but that does not define who
you are. And I'm so excited for him, but I'm
also so excited for all the people that's behind him,
all the people that look up to him and see
that he is just you can do it. That doesn't
matter if you fall, get back up. You only fail
when you stop.
Speaker 2: And he didn't.
Speaker 1: Now look at him, well.
Speaker 5: I just want to say this is for the strong
moms out there because you have just spoken truth.
Speaker 4: To all of Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: He looks like his mom. Look at this young man.
This is a handsome young man, this beautiful woman. So
she recognizes this mistake, she made it. It has become this
blessing for her. That guys, God is in this business.
This is his I don't want to say it's his
favorite thing. But you can look through the Bible time
and again and look at how He takes bad and
he makes it for good. Sometimes the bad is for
our good. Sometimes God is the storm, Sometimes he is
the water leak. Sometimes God is, in fact the crash
of a flying plane. You get an opportunity to see
a little boy, a former clump of cells himself. There
was an airplane crash and shrapnel came flying in and
a little boy named Trey Howard loves his friends and
in this case, his little sister, enough to give his life.
No greater love has man than to lay down his
life for his brother, in this case, his sister. This
is from ABC seven. The family of a ten year
old boy injured when the jet crashed down near their
car is sharing their experience. My baby's in there. It's
hard seeing him like that, said the boy's mother, Lashawan Hamiel.
Trey Howard is one of the survivors, despite being seriously
injured by flying Deprie felt like it was a movie,
like a horror movie, said Trey's dad, Andre Howard Junior.
Andrew says he was picking up donuts with three of
his kids, ages four, seven, and ten, when the jet
came crashing down. Sounded like a missile was firing bullets
metal at my car, everyone else's car. Andrea recalled, you
see a car on fire, A man walking on fire,
was just crazy. He immediately backed up his car oil
His son, Trey covered his little sister, protecting her. The
little boy did that, I turned around and he has
metal coming out of his head, Andrew described. He said
he used socks in another man's shirt to try to
stop the bleeding. A police officer rushed them to the hospital,
where Trey had emergency brain surgery that night. Andre says
the family was told it was a strong chance he
might not survive. Miraculously this ABC seven note that means,
in other words, because of an act of God, he's
now awaken, recovering and even talking. They did an A
plus job on my son. Praise God, they did a
great job, Andrew said. Andre told ABC News that his
first his son's first real words were about the super
He asked me, a dad, it was today Monday. Okay, wait,
we don't play. We didn't play yesterday. Did we know
you didn't miss a Super Bowl? Next thing he asked, Daddy,
did has saved my sister? He did, a clump of
cells went out and saved another clump of cells, and
then two far older clumps of cells could celebrate their
clumps of cells. God knit you together in your mother's womb,
and he's counted every hair in your head, and he
has very specific plans for you. And those plans are
something you can act upon when you decide to follow
the Lord Jesus and allow him to take the bad
in your life and turn it for good. Praise God.
Story number two, Pete hegseeth came out and set it.
I mean, he's giving the left exactly what they want.
He hates diversity, just loves it now. Personally, I love
me some diversity. I used to love. One of the
things I miss about living in big cities was the
opportunity to go immerse yourself even temporarily in a different culture.
In the separate country of Seattle, within the separate country
of Washington, there's a really vibrant place that everyone in
the world calls Chinatown, although the tyrannical authorities are very,
very insistent that we start to call it the International District.
But it's not an international district. It's Chinatown. And I
used to love to go there because you could eat
Chinese food that you couldn't identify. My friend Matthew, dear
dear brother of mine, he is fascinated with Chinese culture.
He has been the China multiple times as a tech
executive and even speaks a little bit of the language.
So he would take me to these places where no
one spoke English. They are no white people, and man,
you get the stink eye, the corner eye when you
walk in there, because what are you doing in here?
There are the sort of americanized places. No place down
there is really really Americanized, but this is these corner
of the wall sort of places. And when Matthew would
come in and speak a little bit of Mandarin and
ask them the menus, everything changed. We was sitting down
and I had food I'd never had before. It's fungus soup,
and it's the preparations of ducks. There is a place
down there called Oh Gosh, you never forget the name
of it, but they make a barley green noodle. I mean,
you want to eat about four hundred billion grams of
carbs in a setting and love it. It's just this
fresh barley in this green form that they make. You
could watch them do this and it tastes like you're
eating butter. And I used to love it when I
lived in Washington, d C. Because it could take a
quick train ride down to New York and you could
go from the Orthodox Jewish section of town, you could
go to a Hispanic section of town. You could go
through the downtown, the business corridor that you could just
experience all these cultures. I missed that. But Pete Hegseth
hates diversity, and he even admitted it.
Speaker 3: I think the single dumbest phrase in military history is
our diversity is our strength.
Speaker 6: I think our strength is our unity.
Speaker 3: Our strength is our shared purpose, regardless of our background,
regardless of how we grew up, regardless of our gender,
regardless of our race. In this department, we will treat
everyone equally. We will treat everyone with fairness, We will
treat everyone with respect, and we will judge you as
an individual by your merit and by your commitment to
the team and the mission. That's how it has been,
That's how it will be. Any inference otherwise is meant
to divide or create complications that otherwise should not and
do not exist.
Speaker 1: He's talking, of course, about what military units need to
be able to be to be a unit. Now, I've
never served, I don't know that I've ever had the
capacity to serve. In the tiny, little, small, minuscule joke
like sample, I got of this of my twelve hours
at seal Fit before my kidneys gave out. I noticed
we all dressed the same, no one had a first name,
and you always had a swim buddy with you. And
if you failed to take your swim buddy with you
to the bathroom to get something to eat on a
penalty run, that was one of the worst things you
could ever ever do, and you would pay a huge
cost if you were ever alone, regardless of the reason,
because they were making us a unit. Story number two,
Pete Hegseth came out and said it, I mean he's
giving the left exactly what they want. He hates diversity,
just loves it now. Personally, I love me some diversity.
I used to love. One of the things I miss

Speaker 3: I think the single dumbest phrase in military history is
our diversity is our strength.
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 3: Our strength is our unity, Our strength is our shared purpose,
regardless of our background, regardless of how we grew up,
regardless of our gender, regardless of our race. In this department,
we will treat everyone equally. We will treat everyone with fairness.

to the bathroom to get something to eat on a
penalty run, that was one of the worst things you
could ever ever do, and you would pay a huge
cost if you were ever alone, regardless of the reason,
because they were making us a unit. The first part
of seal Fit was to make us focus on ourselves
and forget the fact that we're a team, and they
were doing everything they could to divide us. And there
were even guys who'd been through seal Fit before saying, guys, remember,
they're trying to divide us. It wasn't until we jailed
as a team where things started to work. So you're
going to see in Pete hag Seth the difference. He's
already proving the difference. You had Lloyd Austin dress up
in that ridiculous veil with his ridiculous black suit to
march ridiculously around with our enemies, separating himself economically and
from a perspective of power and lording his power for others.
General white rage. The same thing. All the medals on
the chest, Guys, you've never won a war people who
are medals on their chests for diversity and employing diversity
at HR, Pete Haigseth showed he is the man who
absolutely means we're gonna treat everybody the same. And he
did it in a really, really important way. With physicality.
That's a language. People who serve in the military can
understand physicality to be consistently physical. Whether it's in your
daily work. Whether you're a law enforcement officer, you are
a firefighter, a paramatic, a logger, you work at homes,
or you're in a job where you stink and sit
all day, say behind a desk it looks like a motorcycle.
You have to take care of your physicality. I vouch
for the products at Bioptimizers across the boards. There are
some key products I use, particularly on sleep. So tonight
is a short sleep night. Tonight, I'll be lucky to
get five and a half hours of sleep, just given
my schedule. And this is a day where I woke
up at about three point thirty in the morning. I'll
get to sleep tonight somewhere around nine thirty. Get up
the next day at three thirty. So on the way
home from a life group, I will drink sleep Breakthrough
from Bioptimizers, and I'll use that to swallow probably four
of the tablets of magnesium Breakthrough. About ten minutes after that,
I'm gonna feel warmth. I'm gonna feel relaxation. When I
get home, I'm not gonna get a lot of time sleeping,
but I'll look at my watch in the morning and
I almost guarantee you I'm gonna get the correct amount
of deep and the correct amount of rams sleep. So
my watch is probably gonna say shorter than usual calm,
plenty of deep. That's what I'm gonna hear. If you
ever faced challengses sleeping or with relaxation or with regularity,
those two products stacked together have delivered great results for me.

the security defense Pete hagg Seth, unlike General white Rage
who couldn't do it, Unlike General Austin who couldn't do
it because they stopped being military men and became fat politicians,
Pete hag Seth decided to go work out with the troops.
Speaker 3: Point to do Kat and tenth group this morning on
very lovely.
Speaker 1: Why was it so important for you to do this
and tell.
Speaker 2: Us about the lookout?
Speaker 3: I did do pt with the troops this morning, so
it's not that long ago that I was right there
with them.
Speaker 6: I probably no offense general.
Speaker 3: I probably connect more with those guys than I do
with four star generals.
Speaker 6: But now I get the chance of working.
Speaker 3: With four stars and others who are committed to the troops.
But when I can get down, do push ups and
deadlifts with the troops and just hear from them what's working,
what is it?
Speaker 6: How do you see your mission set? I love that.
So there was never a doubt.
Speaker 3: Even though we got in it too in the morning,
that we were getting up a couple.
Speaker 6: Hours later to go deep DoPT.
Speaker 3: It's a reminder that you guys the press in Washington
might think I'm young, but in military terms, I'm old,
and that showed this morning with these young guys who
ran circles around me in that parking lot.
Speaker 1: If you lose touch of the people you're commanding, and
you no longer hear their voices or see their faces,
or have them have an opportunity to speak in to you,
you're losing touch with the battlefield. You're losing touch, then
with the enemy, you're losing touch with the engagement. You're
entering into the world of theory. You're no longer impacted
by this because you don't see the faces of the
men and women who are impacted by it, the ones
who have to actually carry out the orders. That's an
important part of diversity. He's the sec death and he
subjects himself to early morning workouts without a lot of sleep.
And by the way, I don't think the military is
making sure that everybody gets good, solid eight hours of sleep.
I don't think that's the lifestyle. If you lose that
form of diversity, you're losing any of the capability to
relate in a diversified way. So haig Seth considered a
table with four star generals and say, that's a great theory,
but I've talked to the troops. That doesn't work. By
the way, this is hag Seth recovering from the workout,
shaking hands. It's cool facility, and you know, I know
that's meaningful to those guys that the boss of bosses
came in and killed it with them and measured how
footed for them to murder him in a workout euphemistically speaking,
and a guy who enjoys that and gets a kick
out of it and is going to go in knowing
he doesn't train three times a day like these guys,
he's gonna get his head handed to him. Is a
guy who has some humility. This is a different sect death,
so he doesn't hate diversity. It doesn't belong in a
team setting. Now, we all have different gifts and different skills,
but in a team setting like this in the military,
sometimes you have to do their dirty job. And there's
pastors who'll use this example. They're all given gifts by God.
And I'm talking about spiritual gifts because that's divisive, and
there's people who think that spiritual gifts no longer exist
and spiritual gifting doesn't happen. But you could say, for instance,
pastors will tell this story like, you know, hey, pastor,
I want to serve in the church. I'm coming here
for a while. I realize they don't serve. So what's
a place I could serve? I really, you know, whatever
it is, I want to do it all right. You
know what, we are really short on people to shovel snow. Yeah,
so that's not my gifting. I you know, I'm really
gifted at leadership and at you know, at leading, I'm
gifted at you know, beat a boss. And so that's
not and I want to do something that that is
aligned with my gifting. Oh like when Jesus refused to
wash feet because he was gifted. Interesting view of serving,
interesting view of diversity, isn't it Jesus, with all those skills,
chose to do the least popular job. Oh and on
the topic of diversity, we're told that skin color decides everything,
but apparently it doesn't. There's some people who are willing
to look at the perform of someone and then make
a judgment, such as this lady talking about her Kamala
regrets and understand farmers working at a pill for this that
can help you get over the farmer regrets or the
Kamala regret. It has some side effects, but don't go
to tell you about those.
Speaker 5: Listen, let me be one of the first black women
that was a part of the ninety two or the
ninety three percent that voted for Kamala to come out
and just say it. I regret voting for Kamala. I
really do. I regret voting for her. Already into Trump's presidency,
not even a full month, and this man is already
secured borders, He's already signing bills that are taking place
that are uplifting this country. Me not doing my history
and really, you know, being investigative and seeing all the
things that Trump has done and now having an eye
opener and really looking at this man as seeing exactly
how this man works has really put something on my heart.
And I don't know what I was thinking going in
there voting for Kamala in the first place. I'm glad.
I'm glad of the results. Don't get me wrong, I'm
glad that I'm saying that I'm glad that Trump is
in there. But me being so lost and participating into
the whole Kamala run and now taking a step back
looking at how this president here is really running things
and it hasn't even been a whole month. It's something
that I do think about. So, you know, I advise
people that are on the Democratic that are in the
Democratic Party myself.
Speaker 1: To do your research.
Speaker 5: Really do your research, Okay, because I can definitely say
that as a black woman, a part of the ninety
three percent, I made an era. I can admit that
I can take accountability and admit that.
Speaker 1: That's almost like washing feet. Humility is hard and admitting
something like that is hard. And diversity, actual diversity. Man,
it's cool some settings where it has to be unity
above that. Story number three. So there's this guy who's
an adventist pastor and cool name. How come I can't
have the name Delbert? My name is a sound, it's
an utterance. You can you can say my name by mistake,
you hit your knee, your top. Yeah, I'm grateful for no,
I'm not. I was gonna say I'm grateful for my name.
I'm not. I wish my parents had named me something else.
I tried to rename myself a bunch of times, and
it never stuck. Delbert Snell was thinking through the reason
that Babylon became the most powerful nation in Biblical times,
and I'll show you what he came up with here
in just a second, because man, it took some thinking.
It took some thinking. Cap time, a Babylon was in
fact the most powerfulmation in earth. It could go out
and grab whatever they wanted and whoever they wanted, so
they had relatively unstoppable reach and resources. You probably don't.
You probably do not have unlimited resources or time. You
probably don't have unlimited time left on this earth. None
of us do. You would probably like to take the
time you have left on this earth and make it
as fruitful and as joyful as possible. And if you're
in constant pain from information, that's going to be super
super hard. Now, just some tips nutritionally to help stop inflammation.
Number one, if you eat a bunch of sugar, stop it.
Sugar destroys the body, and refine sugar and it drives inflammation,
It drives it crazy. That might be why you have
carpal tunnel, that might be while you have swollen joints.
Try that first. Make sure you're drinking an water. In
my case, I have three hundred and sixty ounces of
water a day, which is pretty extreme. But then again
I eat a bunch of protein and so I have
to do this. If you find yourself doing those things
and you still have the inflammation and it's still causing
you to reach in and buy eyberprofen and hide the symptoms,
just understand the trade off. When you eat yberprofin, you're
eating something that is eating away the lining to your guts.
And you are causing more inflammation. It's not a good trade,
So trade out. Go to get Native path krill. Go
get that native pathcrill. This comes from seventy three miles
off the Antarctic coast, the purest waters in the United
States of America, and that matters, so you don't get
a bunch of toxins in it. This is so potent.
It's fifty percent more absorbable than fish based omega threes,
and it's quick and easy. Take two soft gels before bed.
I've got the experience of I've never had to hutch
any form of iberprofune or any painkiller like that since
I started to take this three forms of omegas in
the most potent forms you can get. Go boost your
health today with Native path Antarctic krill. Visit get krill

That's get krill dot com slash todd. Here's the pastor
talking about babylon. The Babylonian Empire was they went throughout
the regions, they took people captive. They built up their
nation this way. Very famously in the Bible, they went
and took captive some young Jewish boys among them Daniel
and his friends. The Book of Daniel came from him.
He was giving prophetic powers by God. He ended up
being one of the guys who advised the king. But
there was some things he never did, and I don't
think the pastor addresses this well.
Speaker 7: The different metals represent the strength of the different kingdoms,
so that the goal the kingdom would be the best
one and each one would be inferior to it. And
what God is telling Daniel is that Babylon, the head
of Gold, would be the most powerful nation in the succession.
So then the question should be what would make Babylon
so great?
Speaker 6: I'm glad you asked.
Speaker 7: You just read it there in Daniel chapter one. Do
you realize that for all of nebukan Nezzar's eccentricities, he
had one good civil practice. What made Babylon stand out
was they instituted a diversity, equity and inclusion program.
Speaker 1: Okay, can we pause please. Nebukinezer wasn't eccentric. He was Satanic.
He worshiped gods, he burned people to death, he forced
people to poison themselves, he built temples for sex ceremonies,
and no, he did not practice diversity. Only in the
case of Daniels and his friends do we see that
when the king tried to force them to deny their diversity.
They were Jewish Men, and they refused to turn their
back on the God of the Bible. They refused to
engage in diversity. They wouldn't even eat the king's foods.
They were told, you have to eat the king's foods.
They said, we can't, and we won't. This is not
a Dei program. Secondly, they were captives who, by the
way tradition tells us, they were also castrated.
Speaker 7: Yeah, y y'all, y'all, y'all, too slow with me today?
Did you notice it was there? And Daniel chapter one,
so that what a Babylon did was every we captured nation,
they would take individuals from that group, and they would
train them in the science and literature of Babylon and
put them to work in the king's service.
Speaker 1: And they would take their names away from them, and
they would rename them, and they would steal their face,
and they would be forced to kneel before the king
to treat him as a god. And Daniel and his
friends said, no, we will not worship you. We worship
the God of the Bible only. No, we will not
eat your foods. We'll learn your science, we'll learn your language.
We'll even let you call these these made up names,
but we will not become part of your diversity program
that forces us to kneel to you. Amazing, this man
can take this view, and I actually wonder if he
really takes this view, for it's paid to take this view.
Speaker 7: And some believe that Nepti Kanzar learned from his father
Nabo Palaisa that in a kingdom that has a homogeneous
cabinet is going to have a lead in its prosperity.
In other words, neptikaon Nezer knew that if your cabinet
is homogeneous, if your military looks the same, if all
of those in leadership think the saying, guess what, your
blind spots are going to be permanent.
Speaker 1: And the only way to get a.
Speaker 7: Three hundred and sixty degree view of wisdom is to
have people from every nation represented in the leadership of government.
Speaker 1: Nepukitnezzer went nuts. He thought he was a cow and
Daniel was given the gift of understanding the king's dreams.
None of his advisers understood him. The king was putting
people to death because they couldn't explain his dreams. Daniel
could explain them, and Daniel made clearedhom No, no, it's
not me, it's my God. I'm not doing this. You
tried to kill us in the lion's den. That didn't work.
You tried to burnish the death, that didn't work. Our
God is protecting us. God took the evil of captivity
and used it for Daniel to witness to Nebeconezer. That
was his wisdom for periods of time. Nebucanzer said, you
know what, no one criticized the God of Daniel. That
great wisdom this guy's talking about. He went through crawling
through the fields on his hands and knees, eating grass
because he thought he was a cow, just like Daniel
said he would. God took people who had been taken
captive and preserved his word and in fact witness to
people who never would have believed him had they simply
been talking about conquered territories. The story of Daniel and
the fact that they couldn't kill him spread throughout the kingdoms.
There were people who inadvertently went and evangelized the God
of the Bible. That's not diversity. That's God taking evil
and making it good, using it for good. My goodness, gracious,
I want to pray for that pastor and the people
who are taken by these false teachers. Bible is so
very clear about the penalty for false teachers. Man, pastor,
please repent. This is a todd hermant Shaw. Please go,
be well, be strong, be kind to please make every
effort to walk in the light of Christ.
