Speaker 1: In the history of social contagions. The one we're going
to talk about today is the one I want to
deal with most carefully, the transit of kids that came
about really, really cleverly. In the background, there was such
a massive effort the Thomas Reuters Foundation, as I've mentioned,
one of the world's biggest law firms, the human rights
campaign media figures. They behind the scenes built a legal
media and so called moral infrastructure for this, all behind
the scenes of voters going to human rights commissions and
states and building up partnerships to test this stuff out
with the y w c A in places like that,
to let men begin going and showering with women so
they could come along and say, oh, this has always happened.
And then the social influencing man it was going on
a long time. Netflix to the culture music, they started
to promote a lot of artists who were supposedly trans
and then doing this in the schools. It was such
such a smart move. And praise God, he's revealed us
to a lot of us. Now, this this social contagent
we're going to talk about today. I want to be very,
very careful because there's a lot of sioping going on
right now. In the world of the Christian faith. There
are fake churches. There are heretical churches that you paid
to one hundred percent of their operating budgets to usai D.
But something's going on with Catholic churches and young people.
And I want to be careful here because I don't
want to do what's called quenching the spirit, which is
to pour water upon the work of the Holy Spirit,
to quench the spirit, to put the spirit out. And
if the Holy Spirit's at play, okay, But man, I
see a massive social contagion. And this would be so
like Satan to take something that's very good and just
twist it just a tiny little bit to the point
where it is very bad. So I think Satan celebrates
these Catholics for Click's influencers. We'll talk about this all
with the help of God Almighty.
Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one hundred percent disapproved by
big pharma technocrats and tyrants everywhere from the highd mountains
of Free America. Here's the Emerald City, EXI.
Speaker 1: Todd Herman. Today is the day the Lord has made
in These are the times through which God has decided
we shall live. We're back to working with a friend
at Alan Solps. So just stay this off the top
of the show if you let your subscription lapse to Alan's,
because we'd stop talking about him. It wasn't that we
stopped caring. It's that my friend John, the guy who
started Alan Soaps, passed about six weeks ago now, and
his wife, Tina, was in the business of grieving and
ending up, you know, wrapping up her husband's affairs, dealing
with her boys and their grief. Ian and Alan, we're
really really hoping we can continue the soap company. This
is made in America, family with three generations of soap
making expertise. You know these things. No chemicals in these soaps.
This is our hope to keep this company going in
in thriving to honor John, but also these boys have
a place to work. But also so you get soap
that's not polluted by the world. So Tina put together
a package. It's the four soaps that started Alan Soaps,
the og package with the Cisele pouch for under toorna
nine bucks. It's at Alansoaps dot com, slash todd and hey,
drop her a note. By the way, some people did
this after John pass went to the website and social
sites and dropped a note she still is really grieving
very fresh for her alisaps dot com slash Todd promo
code Todd. When Satan takes something goods and twists it,
it is one of his most clever tactics. So what
I was noticing in the world of Catholic conversions and
less so the Orthodox Church, a lot of young men
are going into the Orthodox Church. There's no reason to
believe that's not genuine, that God's not calling these people
to themselves, to himself. And a lot of it's in
response to a world and young men are saying this
that We've done shows where we featured the voices of
young men and polls where young men have said, I'm
sick of being in a world where everything just suddenly changes,
where all of a sudden, if you want to be
a girl, you can be a girl, and where all
of a sudden, you know, it's vitally important that we
go to war for Ukraine because our most important ally
and then it's not Ukraine now is now they are
our most important ally? And let's forget Ukraine. What is Ukraine?
Isn't that an island in the South Pacific and so
these young men are saying everything suddenly changes. They're tired
of having their masculinity called poisonous and toxic, and so
they view the Orthodox churches is a place that there
are places that don't change. These guys still wear weird
black robes and the big jewelry, it hats and such,
and that looks very old and very standard and very unchanging.
And in a way it is, well, not in a
way it is. The Orthodox Church is Orthodox. So young
men are going to this, and God will use this
to his glory to bring them to himself. And maybe
they'll stay at the Orthodox Church and become Jesus loving
people out sharing the love of Christ and making disciples.
And maybe they'll do that, and praise God if that happens.
That's one thing. But the Catholic excessorizing and this is
what I'm seeing from influencers with lots and lots of
footprint and lots of attention, it hits and clicks, is
a merchandising of their Catholicism. And this is a Hey,
here's my rosary. And by the way, I sell some
of these, and there's some rosaries you can buy there
just like mine, and holding it up as if you're
going into battle with your rosary and giving a political
speech with your rosary. Now you could say, no, no,
I'm doing what you do, Todd. I am trying to
bring people to Christ. Fair enough, fair enough. Here's what
I want to examine is the fruits of this. Okay,
So let's go to the basis. To someone who's passed on.
He has no dog in this hunt. But he described
this from his timeline, and that was C. S. Lewis. C. S.
Lewis in writing The Screwtape Letters. And if you don't
know that book, it's a brilliant book that looks at
the world through the eyes of demons. So there's Screwtape
in Wormwood, and Wormwood is a junior demon and he's
working for his uncle demon Uncle Screwtape, and Screwtape is
a senior demon and he knows how to make disciples
of Satan. So Wormwood is in the world on assignment
and Wormwood they call us their patients. And so Wormwood
at one point is writing to Uncle Screwtape and he says, Hey,
I'm concerned, I'm losing my patients. They've joined the church,
and Uncle Screwtape writes back to his nephew Wormwood, and
he says, Okay, they must be very proud of that.
They must be very proud of themselves. Fill them with
that pride. Look at us go in the church. Yea,
church goers, we're better than the people who don't go
to church. Look how much better we are than the people.
Though there's people who don't go to church. We go
to church, man, we're something special. And then within the church,
he said, I imagine within the church there's people who
are needy and non hygienic and smell bads, and you
can put that in their mind that what they're Hey,
you know, thank goodness, we're not like them. Look at them. Wow,
thank goodness. We get to sit up front in the pews.
They probably don't give any money to the church. We're
giving money to the church, and they can share with
their friends how much money they give to church. And suddenly,
what Screwtape has done is taking a positive stepping into
a church environment. And he's not changed it. They're still
going to church. In fact, they're super proud of going
to church. They got a lot of human pride. They're
super proud that they're better than the people who don't
go to church, that God loves them more, and he
certainly loves them more than the stinky people sitting in
the back of the church. So he takes something positive
and they never even notice. Then it's become a negative.
What did they do with the trans thing? They took
something positive, empathy. It's a good thing to be empathetic
to people, and they made it a negative. It started
with sob stories of I just need a place to pee,
that's all. That's all I'm asking for. I work downtown
and I can't just hold my urine all day. I
need a place to pee. And a lot of very
very well meaning empathetic people said, you know what I mean,
it's just a bathroom. They're just going to go into
the stalls. It's like, you know, they're going to shut
the door. It might be a little bit uncomfortable, but yeah,
we can't have them walking around holding their urine or
urinating in their pants. We can't. And then it extended
a little bit, and then they took these sob stories
of kids they just knew they were born in the
wrong body from the very early on, and they put
a word on it that was a pseudoscientific transgender and well,
if we don't do anything, they'll kill themselves. We have
to do something, and so they took this empathy, we
have to do something, and then it went from we
got to do something too. Now we have to lie
and end. But look, we're lying for a good reason.
I know, I know my little cousin is not a girl,
but she thinks she's a boy. And I need to
be nice, and so I'm gonna say, I'm going to
use the boy name and I'm going to use the
boy pronoun and it's not harming anything. And look at
what they're doing. What they did very smart, took that
positive of empathy and compassion and twisted it to the
point that you are saying to a little kid, you're
so brave and stunning to be destroying your body for
the rest of your life. You're so brave and stunning,
and again, checking all spirits. What I see going on
here is displayed in the fruits, because you could look
at this and man, I love this. This is crowds
of young people lining up at Saint Joseph Church in Manhattan,
and this is so cool to see and a lot
of young faces and if you go to church, I mean,
if you go to a church, it's sort of an
old church, and this very young people there. This is astonishing.
We're blessed to have a big church and we've got
a huge number of young people that attend because we're
very intentional about shepherding young people and making sure they
stay connected to the church. I make absolutely no judgem
about these people. They're simply standing in line to go
to church. And the hashtag revival of Christianity, Praise God,
Almighty Palms Sunday in Manhattan now it is Palm Sunday.
There are people who are ethnically Christian or ethnically Catholic.
They don't know the Lord, they don't abide with the lords,
they don't live a particularly godly life, they sin against
the Lord, but they go in on Palm Sunday, and
they go in on Easter. That does happen, and it's
endemic to the church. There are people who are traditionalists.
I know, people who stand a verse to God's in
every possible manner in relation to sexuality and doctrines such
as well, God's you know, Jesus isn't the only way
to heaven and the Bible's filled with errors and contradictions,
and it's written by dead white men. And Jesus didn't
understand that most people, that people are all born gay,
that all gay people are born that way. And Jesus
didn't understand that he was a man of his time.
And you know he was after all, remember this, he
was an itinerant son of a of a carpenter. It's
not like he really studied anything. He wasn't even really
a trained rabbi, So you know, he didn't have all
the advantages that we have. So let's look past that.
Plus he had his biases of his time. But you know,
then those are the same people who go to church
on Easter Sunday, the Catholic Church. Why that's a tradition.
I just like the traditions. I'm comforted by the traditions.
I bet you are. I bet you are. It's like
seeing your favorite movie again. Sometimes my wife is astonished.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: And I'm a very lucky man to have had my
marriage of thirty years and a wife who puts up
with the fact that from time to time, I say, hey,
you know what, it seems like a Star Trek insurrection night,
or it seems like a Tombstone night. We've seen Tombstone
eleven times. Yeah, but let's watch it for the twelfth
because I'm comforted by it. I enjoy it. Those are movies,
not church. And if you're in church mindlessly going through
dogma and mindlessly going through tradition, you're not building a
relationship with the Lord Jesus, and he's not fooled. I
have not built a relationship with Kurt Russell, despite the
fact that I've seen Tombstone for times. Kurt Russell doesn't
know exists. Now God knows they exist, but they're not
building relationship. And I'm not judging these people. They may
well be very, very active, abiding Christian people, but they're
young and it's cool. Here's where it gets disconcerting when
people are taking the faith as a fashion accessory. And
this is where I begin to sniff the social contagion.
Why are you going to church because it's a fantastic
selfie opportunity, because lots of cool people are doing it.
Because I see people on stage holding religious artifacts, I
don't know what they mean, I don't understand them, or
becoming Catholic and then immediately becoming a Catholic commentator and
immediately going out in schooling people about the Catholic Church,
as some people have done, and they've got huge audiences
all of a sudden, and they're doing things like taking
on bishops when they've been and by the way, they're
not even confirmed Catholics. There's a confirmation process Catholics go
through and these people aren't even confirmed, but they deigned
to lecture bishops about what the Catholic Church should be
doing in relation to world events. But it's the accessorizing
that really killed me. Into this seems like a social contention.
Back when they were doing the transing of kids things
and behind the scenes they started to sell trans clothes,
so called trans clothes on Amazon, and if you knew
what you were looking at, you knew what you were seeing.
There were books that were designed to trans kids' minds.
These were being sold behind the scenes. They weren't being trumpeted,
they weren't being promoted, but they were there. And you
had t shirts that say I haven't this if I'm
a boy or a girl nine years ago, and there
were parents are buying that go oh that's cool, yeah, all,
let my kid decided they're a boy or a girl,
and it was accessorizing. We see this, and there are
plenty of people who turn to IVF pregnancies because they
couldn't They could not become pregnant as a couple any
other way. I've got friends who did this, and they're
the sort of people we want having eggs, kids want
having kids that there are people who are accessorizing children.
How do we know it's accessorizing when we watch videos
of same sex attracted men reviewing the bios and pictures
and videos of the of the women who they want
to they want to purchase their eggs. These are the
bodies we want to rent. These are the eggs we
want to buy, the bodies we want to rent. And
they're paging through, swiping wipes, swiping left and talking about
what they want. Well, I want some. I want a
baby who looks partly Asian but partly white, but most
of all hot. I want a baby that grows up hot.
So let's make sure that the mother's hot. And if
you doubt this, go look at the New York Post article.
And I didn't pull this. I should have pulled this
on sperm parties. Have you heard about sperm parties? It's
not what you think. It's not that, thank God, it's
not that. It's for women who are single. They want
the joy of motherhood. Therefore they invite their friends over
for a sperm party, where they get the Hey, here's
the two hundred men. We've boiled it down to these
two hundred sperm donors. So tonight we're gonna go down
from two hundred to one hundred. Then we're gonna go
to a vote again and go down from one hundred
to fifty, and then to twenty five and eventually the
top five. And then sometime around midnight, when we're good
and toasted on the champagne and the cocaine, we're gonna
go down to the sperm donor and I'm gonna buy
that sperm. And I'll buy that sperm tonight in front
of you all. Whoa sperm party? Mama? Why did you
have me? Well, you look like you were going to
be hot because your sprum donor was hot. How did
you decide? Oh? I didn't. I brought friends over and
devoted what we were drinking, accessorizing. Right. So over twenty
thousand people joined the Catholic church across France, and again
a lot of our young people. This came from Notre Dame. Again,
it's it's easy to look at this and say, Praise
God Almighty. These are them going through the Catholic sprinkling
of water. That's funny. In vegetical land, we don't believe
this counts as of as Baptist, by the way, and
the reason we say that is because Jesus was immersed
in water and we think we should do everything like
Jesus did it. It's still it's a lovely ceremony and
it happened to, you know, in Notre Dame Cathedral. There's
a lot to be said for these cathedrals. And one
day we could talk about why I'm not Catholic. If
you want, maybe you talk about why you are Catholic.
That's not accessorizing. I have no reason to believe that
those are very faithful people. I'm sure they love the
Catholic Church. I'm sure that many of them love Jesus,
and I'm sure that all of them love the Catholic Church,
and many of them love Jesus. Here's where it gets
disconcerting to me is we're about to shift gears into
what I think is what Satan loves. I'm checking the
spirits in this, and I'm thinking, if I've examined the
fruits of the spirits, is there anything in there about
making a public show or seeking cliques or getting clout
because of where you go to church? Or instead? Did
Jesus tell us when you pray, do so in private
where your father in Heaven hears you. Do not be
and he addressed specifically. He was addressing phariseical hypocrites who
would stand outside and loudly pray and make sure that
people saw them, and they would pray in the public square.
And this so goes on in some strict and observant
Jewish neighborhoods have seen this behavior where people dressed in
black and long beards, if they're men, rocking back and
forth and praying out loud. And that really that Jesus
didn't appreciate that when you pray, do not be like
the hypocrites in public, but go into private where your
father in Heaven hears you. And truly, I will tell
you've had your reward, Because what he's saying is, do
not be like the hypocrites praying in public out loud,
because truly, I tell you they've had their reward. Hey, folks,
saw your praying. That's what you wanted. You got it. Now,
God knows our hearts. If it happens that you're leading
a prayer service or you've been asked to pray at
Thankgiving dinner and your heart is true and you're praying
to join people together under the word of God's God
knows your heart. But if you're performing and it's performance
and you're praying to be seen by people, hey, look
how pious they are. Wow, he's got a rosary on stage.
He carries his rosary out and holds it up like
it's a sword.
Speaker 2: This.
Speaker 1: Oh, he's got to be super faithful. And Jesus is saying, hey, truly,
I tell you they had their reward. But Lord, didn't
I pray to you. Didn't I bring out a rosary? Yes,
And people clapped and you got clicks, and you got
your reward. That's what you wanted and you got it.
You didn't develop a relationship with me, but you got
that praise clicks. That's what we're going to shift into.
So we'll do this in a second. I'll give you
another example. Last night at our life group, we got
into a conversation about young men and the church and elders.
And at the end of this, our friend Steve closed
us in prayer. It was all related to what we
were talking about. So there we are, not in public,
but in a private setting. But Steve wasn't praying for
us to see him. You see Steve every week. I'm
having lunch with Steve on Friday. No offense to my friend,
but it's not a special thing that we get together.
It's not a special thing that he prays in front
of us. It's just what we do. But it was
a very sincere prayer. One of the members of our
life group grew ill last night and he had to
go pull himself aside and he reflected that that's not
that's not the same thing as what we're about to
talk about. Also, last night, my friends Mark Mark, I
want to say his wife's Saime. But Mark is now
asking me, Look, Todd, can you once you come down
to Mexico. I want to be down there. You put
the trip off because of the DHS travel stuff. That's
better now. They just got back from travel. They had
no problem in the airport, so I told them I'm
gonna check it with my wife and see I might
end up now see now, I guarantee Kathleen for my news.
Get to hear this, Kathleen. I'll text you if I
make this decision. I'll text Chef the show. Don't panic.
But I might make my trip down to Mexico as
early as next week. But that means I can't get
the anti aging protocol, so I'm probably not going to
do it. The anti aging protocol is the key for
me going into this next station in my life because
I'm going to be CEO of my health. I don't
have a regular doctor. I've got a naturopathic nurse practitioner
who's the closest thing is I have to a doc.
They got a sports medicine doc, and I'll probably go
get a new chiropractor. So these people combined to deal
with my health. When I go down and do the
anti aging protocol, I'm going to get an IV of
stem cells. I'm going to get IVS and hyperbredic chamber
related to my epigenetic aging. First step is determine the
age of my organs versus my chronological age. Second step
is to determine a plan of action with the three
to five things that are likely to take me out
or slow me down. Go down and do what they
can to reverse aging in the spot, and then give
me a kit I'll take home where I will do
exercises at home and take some of the things they
give me at home to help reverse the aging process.
So I become CEO of my health and anybody on
my health team. I communicate to the these are my
focus areas. It's a male clinic level look into my body.
And it's a week in Porto Arta, which is return
to normal. It went back to normal according to my
friends who lived there, about two days after the big
explosion of violence. It's all good again. So if you
want to join me in this, go to renew dot
Healthcare e n u e dot Healthcare. Talk to them
about their anti aging protocol and I will decide today
because I got a visit with my wife to see
if I can even pull this off to get down
there this soon. It's renewed r E n U E
dot Healthcare. So this is a piece. I mentioned the
New York Posts. They put up that article about the
sperm parties, and forgive me for bringing that back up.
I know that's not an image genuine needs in their mind,
just early in the morning, or maybe at all. Here's
the headline, catholic z influencers make church look cooler than ever,
snapping up hundreds of thousands of social media followers. I
hope this is not the reward. But when people seek
fame and adoration and they seek soul, social clouts and
social clout is the end all be all, and they
noticed that, Wow, there's lots of attention paid to people
who convert and they're Catholic. Wow. Catholic is the new rebellion,
like so called trans was the new rebellion. Like prior
to that, Punk was the rebellion. Sometime around there the sixties,
the hippie love ethos, which was really just a sexy ethos,
did and everything to do with love. That was the rebellion.
There was the motorcycle riding gangs and the cigarette smoking
was the rebellion. And there was the flapper girls that
there were rebellion. There was the Civil War bow that
was a civil war that wasn't just a pretend rebellion.
Here's part of the article, Jesus Rose from the Dead.
Now he's raising follower counts. Well, No, I guarantee that
is not Jesus's main goal to make sure his words
were widely seen. Sure, these follower accounts know a new
class of hip young Catholic content creators is making a
viral splash on social media, eagerly spreading the good news
in an age of uncertainty and making Catholicism cooler than ever,
just in time for Easter. From poking fun at idio
of the idiosyncrasies of age old customs, just how many
times do Catholics have to kneel during mass? Ha to
sharing passionate takes and religious texts and teachings, these young
virtual evangelists have made their mission to take the church
further into the twenty first century, with many simultaneously urging
followers to return to more traditional values. Okay, let's go
back to checking spirits. Let's check all spirits, like to takes,
all thoughts captives to Christ? Who are they promoting.
Speaker 2: To?
Speaker 1: Whose glory? If it's for clicks, for their clout. God
knows that, then I know I'll hear it because I
always do. Hey, hypocrite, you call yourself a Jesus centered host.
You're doing the same thing, yeah, except I would make
so much more money if I played the Red Versus
Blue game. In fact, I can tell you this right now,
were blessed to have one hundred and eighty one FM
stations for our American Family radio show. Utterly blessed. I
don't want to be in any other network, frankly, but
I would have been on another network five days a
week if I would just have done the Red Versus
Blue thing and move to New York. That's all I
needed to do. Move the family to New York, live downtown,
do some Fox News hits. But what we want you
to concentrate on is politics. We know you like to
talk about spirituality and medicine and health and pharma and
culture and all that, and that's all good and well,
but we need a political show that's ninety percent political,
focus on the national topics and really taking it to
the libs. That's what we need. No thanks, and it's
not that God hasn't blessed us.
Speaker 2: He has.
Speaker 1: Praise God. So here's a picture of some good, good
looking young people, very pure ash Wednesday with the ash
in their heads. And maybe they're super well meaning. I
just hope this isn't their reward, and maybe this is
just the phone generation it's the photo sharing generation. Then
there's things like this where people are putting up well
produced YouTube videos. If Catholic Saints livestream today, Saint Francis
of Assisi, that's pretty Jesus affirming. So Saint Francis of
Assisi is the Catholic Saint of animals. You'll remember this,
of course, because when they didn't have time to pass
the Save Act, they had time to bring in animals
and bless them. The Republicans. Did you remember this. They
didn't have time to pass the SA back, but they
had the time, these senators to bring in anams and
bless them. So I didn't want to run the TikTok.
He's trying to be funny about Catholics and Catholic saints
today and it's getting tossed around in Catholic circles. Said
he loves the Catholic Church. Who is this glorifying? And
I compleade guilty to this next one. I'll tell you why.
This past summer we had the great honor of baptizing
some of our boys and they came out to the
lake and John and I got to baptize them. Praise God,
their parents are there, men and women from the church
community came out, their football coaches came out, rustling coaches.
It was like forty people. And I wasn't thinking. I
just I wasn't thinking. We went out in the water
and the boys said, can we take our shirts off?
And I was thinking that don't want to get their
shirts wet. That's That's not what they wanted. They wanted.
They wanted a beefcake photo. And I knew I had
done wrong. When we got out there and one of
the boys gave a little flexshot, I knew I'd done wrong.
I should have said, go put your shirt back on,
Go put your shirt back on. Now. God has done
great works in this young man. They also happened to
be fifteen and maybe one Yeah, one of them is
now sixteen and fifteen year boys are gunn a fifteen
year old boy. But the church didn't run the videos
of the baptisms because we always run the videos at church.
If they happen outside at church or during non church hours,
we always have a little compilation video. They weren't in there,
and I went and I talked to the leader team
and I said, is it because they didn't have their
shirts on? They went, yeah, yeah, yes, that's got so
why because they're bringing glory to themselves. So here's a
Catholic influencer. Everything I consume will fasting for a lance
And sure enough he's ripped, sure enough he's shaved down,
no hair to distract from the abbey's he says, to
not starve. And by the way, looking at this, this
looks very clearly Manhattan to me where he's standing. And
of course this article is from the New York Posts
and it's about Manhattan. So we've gone from some kids
with ash on their foreheads young people with ash on
their foreheads. Okay, it's ashual Sunday or ashwant to say
okay to a Catholic making a or guy who says
he's a Catholic making a goofy video about Saint Francis
of ASSISI and getting one thousand, six hundred and fifty
four people joining him for a live stream with a
bunch of hearts and flowers, and ain't it funny? Plus
he's got a chicken to a Jim bro shirt off,
talking about everything he consumes well fasting for lent to
not starve. This is simply a a thirst video and
be a good old bro gym video on how to
restrict calories. But man, he's bringing Okay, I feel very
comfortable here saying Jesus looking at this guy going congratulations,
you've had your reward. You are ripped. I feel very
comfortable with Jesus looking at the guy with a TikTok
video saying congratulations, you've had your reward. People thought that
was funny, and then going further along through the article,
again this is just some young people going into church.
Maybe they find it very novel. But I can tell
you I go to church quite often. I'm there for
youth group every single week. I was there twice last
week and probably be there three times coming up. I
don't take pictures. I don't see anyone who's faithfully going
to church saying, hey, we're at church, let's take a picture.
Hey there's the pastor. Let's take a picture with the pastor.
Alex goes to church every weekend. Do you ever feel
tempted to go? Let's get a picture with the por
so I can post it. So the article said they're
gaining followers, So Satan takes something very good. People being
exposed to the word of the Lord in a church
environment in this case a Catholic church, and he can
do something very bad with it. Hey, we're getting views
people like this. We're part of a rebellious class. Jack
Prosibic retweeted me. So, when we look at these things
and we examine it from a perspective of social contagion,
let's step back and recompare it to the so called
trans thing. How many magazine articles did we have with
brave and stunning trans kids. You remember the Discovery magazine thing,
the young boy who, by the way, is deep into
so called transition regret, and he was the great so
called trans hope of the future, Jazz Jennings. Do you
notice that Jazz Jennings doesn't like to go do media
appearances or interviews because Jazz Jennings, according to media reports
and people who know that young man who has been
mutilated for the rest of his life, is miserable. But
for a while, Jazz Jennings was brave and stunning, and
so other people stepped in to be brave and stunning,
and the social contagent took off the difference being this
in that social contagion, they came along and said, hey,
if you're serious about this, get on hormones. If you're
serious about this, get on surgery or get surgeries done.
And young people who balked at that then they were told, oh,
you're not really trans, you're a pretender. There are kids
to this day, some of them now in their early
thirties saying, the only reason I gave in is because
the trans community so called wouldn't support me. They would
turn their back from me if I didn't. So I
knew it was wrong. I knew the second the test
saucerone was janned in my arm. It was a mistake.
I knew when I was going under Surgey it was
a mistake. I did it because I didn't want to
lose my community. Well, that's not eternal. If you gave
into that, you've got grandkids or kids that gave into that.
Jesus is anxious to forgive and forget and to bring
you back into the fold for lying. You know, you lie,
that you're not male or female, van delated the body,
which is the temple, all these things, and the Lord
Jesus is anxious to forgive. This can be eternal because
people can believe they've developed a relationship with God. After all,
look at their follower account, So I am not trying
to clench the spirit. I'm trying to call out an alarm.
It's been interesting to watch the discussion that went on
after the Space Crew. Some of the members of the
Space Crew went up and praised the Lord Jesus and
share the word of God. The Reddit community absolutely went nuts,
and I thought we'd pulled some comments from the reddit community.
I thought we had this in here, Alex, Yeah, But
so the Reddit community went nuts on this and it
was very, very funny to see. But I'll tell you what,
I bet Jesus respects it more than people who are
doing Catholic for clicks. So I'll show you this response
there in just a second. My friend Zach Gabraham, he
doesn't go out and say we are a Christian investment firm,
and I'll tell you why, because he finds it incredibly
distasteful to you. Is Jesus' name for marketing, but it
informs everything he does, such as this. There are investments
Bulwark will not make for you if there are directly
into companies that are standing completely averse to God. And
he'll tell you that there are whole realms of investment
he doesn't undertake because of that, he's also a realist
and understands that we are in this world not to
be of it, but in it. And his full animation
is risk management. So he's really really focused on all
the wealth and money pouring into AI and the fact
that we don't have enough power to produce enough AI
for all these promises. And he's willing to say things
that are pretty unpopular, like these big tech companies should
have to build their own utilities. They should not be
able to ride on the back of public utilities and
raise our rates. That's not a popular opinion, but this
is him looking at how we steward what we have.
He's putting out a free live webinar April twenty six,
three point thirty Pacific to talk about the effect AI
is likely to have on your portfolio this year last
year with all the AI mass, all the uncertainty, the
fund zach specifically managers at Bulwark did I think thirty
two percent above market and this happens because they thrive
in volatility. I think it's because of their risk management obsession.
So this is a free live webinar. All you have
to do is register to attend, so go to know
your Risk podcast dot com. That's k and Ow Know
Your Risk podcast dot com. And you're in Bulwick Capital
Managements and Investment Advisor representative of a Truck Financial LLC and
SEC registered investment advisor. Investments involved risk and are not
guaranteed past permance doesn't guarantee future results. Truck twenty six
Dash four seven. So you saw this from the space capsule. Incidentally,
did I mention the other day how many young people
in fact, not just young people, A ton of people
do not buy. For a second, now, we had we
talked about this Monday, didn't we? A ton of people
do not buy at all that were in space because
they don't trust any of our institutions, not any of them.
Any case. This is supposedly from space. I happen to
believe it's from space. But that's me and talking about
the Lord Jesus and the Word of God.
Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought that up, though. I think these
observances are important, and as we are so far from
Earth and looking back at you know, the beauty of creation.
I think for me, one of the really important personal
perspectives that I have up here is I can really
see Earth as one thing and you know, when I
read the Bible and I look at all of the
amazing things that were done for us who were created,
it's you have this amazing place, this spaceship. You guys
are talking to us because we're in a spaceship really
far from Earth, but you're on a spaceship called Earth
that was created to give us a place to live
in the universe and the cosmos. Think maybe the distance
we are from you makes you think what we're doing
is special, But we're the same distance from you, and
I'm trying to tell you, just trust me, you are special.
In all of this emptiness. This is a whole bunch
of nothing, this thing we call the universe. You have
this oasis, this beautiful place that we get to exist together.
I think as we go into Easter Sunday, thinking about,
you know, all the cultures all around the world, whether
you celebrated or not, whether you believe in God or not,
this is an opportunity for us to remember where we are,
who we are, and that we are the same thing,
and that we got to get through this together.
Speaker 1: Now, that is the least biblical of the statements. Other
guys came out and spoke directly from the Bible and
quoted directly from the Bible and quoted John three sixteen
part of it. They never get to the part about
Bayli command. It just people just don't do that. But
here's what happened in atheist twitter. And here's what I believe.
I think God respects this more. If people are going
to church for clicks, address that in a little book
called revelation. You do not want to appear in the
Book of Revelation in a bad light. And he addressed
the lukewarm churches. The Church of Ephesus is lukewarm. You're
neither hot nor cold. Therefore I want to spit you
from my mouth. Wow headed in the Judgment day, when
your knees gonna value, your tongue is cann infest. You
don't want Jesus look at you going. I want that.
I believe he respects boor this honesty. Artemis two fly
by Religiousness. Right before loss of signal, the pilot started
rambling about Jesus with the commander from the ground among
two commentators who were wearing prominence. I think a says
prominent crosses are on their necks, going along with the
pilot and praising Jesus has felt quite disgusting, like they
can't keep their religion to themselves during such a big moment. Well,
if you truly follow Christ, I love the fact that
the guy who botheredors this is man from posting in Reddit.
That's cool. If you truly follow Jesus and you're looking
back at his creation, his or from his orbit, yeah,
you're going to speak about it. But if it disgusts you,
you should wonder why what spirits in you that it
discussed you? As we check all spirits. If you get
creeped out of these pictures of these young influencers and
you have the Holy spirits, check all spirits? Is it jealousness?
I'm not jealous of this. I don't like social media.
I don't like taking pictures of myself. I don't like
being on video. It's not jealousness for me. Is it coveting?
I don't think so. I don't want those things. I
feel creeped out because I don't see Jesus at the
center of this. So I think Jesus might respect this
more because it's very honest. I'm irrationally angry about this
and glad others are too. Or maybe I'm rationally angry,
you know, because Math, because of course Math disproves the
existence of God in this guy's mind. When it lost
a signal, I love that he has to use the
acronym because he's an inside or you know, doubt NASA expert.
When it lost a signal medication, Shit was like, how
great thou art? I wanted to throw the remote at
the TV. Yeah, yeah, yeah, pauloate ReGenesis. That was the
first time there and Christmas even less evangelical. They got
sued and should know better. Forty eight years later, f
this American Taliban, Jesus didn't get you to the moon.
F and Math did. And as they said, I think
the other day, because Math got together and built an
a built a spacecraft. Math did that, not people that
were created by God. You get the story. But I
think that God would respect that more so if you
have young people in your life and here's the moral
of the story, and they're going to the Catholic Church,
are there going to the Greek Orthodox Church? Or they
begin to lean into faith, praise God. And our job
as more mature Christians is to make sure it's for Jesus.
It's our responsibility to speak into this and to say,
how are you developing your relationship with Jesus? How is
that growing for you? How are you changing in the
Holy Spirit? How are you changing in terms of your
daily thought life? How have your behaviors changed? Not your works,
but your behaviors? How have your attitudes changed? Are you
checking yourself for the signs of biblical love? Are you
checking yourself that you're within the fruits of the spirit.
Are you looking out for the traps of the enemy?
You want a good test with them, you want a
really good test. Ask him this, what do you think
about Satan? Not to fetishize him, but if you're asking
someone who contends to follow the word of the Lord Jesus,
and they're biblical and their attending church, and they've given
their lives back to God, what do you think about Satan?
And if you get anything other than he's a liar,
thief and a murderer from the very beginning. If you
get that, I don't know, I don't know if I
believe in him, then you have someone who is not
even near the word of God. Ask a simple question
like this, do you think that Jesus is the only
way to God? And if you get someone saying, you know,
I know people believe that. I don't know if I do.
They're not anywhere near even outside. They're not even at
this point adolescent Christians. They're still children. Praise God, they're there.
But then you can understand the depth of the faith.
And if, by the way, this is just for clicks,
then congratulations, you guys done got the clicks. This is
the Todd Hermit Show. Please go, be well, be strong,
be kind, and please make every effort to walk in
the light of Christ.
