1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Three Stories version of The Todd Herman Show. 2 00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:07,000 How to selectively edit God's word to support illegal immigration 3 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:12,919 and reparations in the WNBA and ESPN bosses hate hate 4 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,480 white woman, well woman, well because she represents white women. 5 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:23,879 We'll talk about this and does anyone remember joy not 6 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,480 the person the feeling. Talk about this with the help 7 00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:30,640 of God Almighty and our YouTube channel YouTube dot com 8 00:00:30,679 --> 00:00:33,039 slash at the Todd Herman Show. Thank you Lord for 9 00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:33,880 making that thrive. 10 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one disapproved by big pharma, 11 00:00:40,799 --> 00:00:49,039 technocurrats and tyrants everywhere from the high mountains of Free America. 12 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:55,920 Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman. 13 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 3: Today is the day the Lord has made. These are 14 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,920 the times to which God has decided where shall live. 15 00:01:11,719 --> 00:01:13,239 There's a pastor I've just learned. 16 00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:15,799 Speaker 1: Leanna has read his books and it seems to be 17 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,920 a good Guy's name's David Platt. So I got to 18 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,560 believe this is not something that he's doing on purpose. 19 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,920 But it's done all the time, and some people do 20 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,319 do it on purpose. It's taking God's word and finding 21 00:01:28,359 --> 00:01:31,079 ways to have it applied to circumstances where it doesn't apply, 22 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,280 And again I don't think David Platt's doing that given 23 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,480 his background as an evangelical pastor, and I trust out 24 00:01:36,519 --> 00:01:39,040 his views on this and is a good thinker. And 25 00:01:39,239 --> 00:01:42,480 she's someone who also is involved in worship leadership, so 26 00:01:42,519 --> 00:01:45,040 I know she walks with the Lord. I watched the 27 00:01:45,159 --> 00:01:48,040 clip and it made me sad. It made me sad 28 00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:53,359 because of the conflating of one single word. If we 29 00:01:53,439 --> 00:01:56,359 are going to be pastoral leaders, and I'm not, I'm 30 00:01:56,359 --> 00:01:58,359 not qualified to be a pastor. I've been through a 31 00:01:58,359 --> 00:02:01,359 pastoral residency, but I've not been ordained and probably shouldn't be. 32 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:03,359 Speaker 3: If we're going to. 33 00:02:03,319 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: Be spiritual leaders, Christian leaders, we need to really, really 34 00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:10,879 be careful with words, particularly when we're going to talk 35 00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:16,039 about political topics, because the enemy wants spiritual leaders, particularly 36 00:02:16,159 --> 00:02:19,439 Christian leaders, to be distrusted. Actually, he'd love people to 37 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,280 trust im, moms and others. He wants people to distrust 38 00:02:24,439 --> 00:02:28,360 Christian leaders. This is Pastor David Blattz so problem. 39 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 4: When Christians in the United States are the most resistant 40 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:38,360 to refugees in our communities, like we believe Acts Chapter seventeen, 41 00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:43,319 God orchestrates the movement of peoples among the nations that 42 00:02:43,439 --> 00:02:47,759 they might be found by Him, and the way God 43 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:52,479 has put in so many communities where we live, people 44 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,199 from other places in the world, even from places specifically 45 00:02:56,199 --> 00:02:57,919 in the world that have little to no access to 46 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,960 the Gospel, where it's hard to get to those places. 47 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,199 God has brought people from those places to our doorsteps, right. 48 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 5: Outside where we live and where we work. 49 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 3: So let's be intentional. 50 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,759 Speaker 5: The love of them, with the love of Christ to 51 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,560 help them amidst all the challenges they're walking through, just 52 00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:20,800 as a picture of doing justice and loving mercy, loving 53 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,960 our neighbors as ourselves. And as we do that, let's 54 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,319 share the greatest news in the world with people from 55 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,120 the nations that God has brought to our neighborhood. 56 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,719 Speaker 1: Yes, since from him a great, great love of the 57 00:03:34,759 --> 00:03:38,919 Lord you, so I truly believe you believes this. And 58 00:03:39,039 --> 00:03:41,240 I'll tell you something. One of the things I miss 59 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,479 about living in the big cities is the smells and 60 00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:50,800 the languages of different cultures. That is so enriching to me. 61 00:03:51,479 --> 00:03:53,159 To be able to go to a restaurant, just a 62 00:03:53,199 --> 00:03:57,439 restaurant in Seattle, Hope is still there because they've destroyed 63 00:03:57,439 --> 00:04:00,759 that neighborhood. Black Lives Matter incorporated in a who destroyed 64 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:01,479 that neighborhood. 65 00:04:01,639 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 3: It's called Chinatown. 66 00:04:02,719 --> 00:04:06,199 Speaker 1: They've tried to rename it the International District, but it's Chinatown. 67 00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:10,199 There's a restaurant there called Shanghai Gardens, and we used 68 00:04:10,199 --> 00:04:12,319 to go there as a family and they've got the 69 00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:15,680 most incredible barley green noodles that they handmake. And no 70 00:04:15,719 --> 00:04:18,639 one there speaks English. I mean, it's a place where 71 00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:21,160 you point and they can understand maybe the English, you know, 72 00:04:21,639 --> 00:04:26,560 in ecognized words for their menu, but to hear the 73 00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:28,759 language and to see the way they present their. 74 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 3: Culture, it's a gift, truly. 75 00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:36,639 Speaker 1: The conflating is this. I don't know Christians who are 76 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,079 anti refugee. What I see are Christians. 77 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 3: Who watch what the devil is doing. 78 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,399 Speaker 1: If you believe the United States is the home for 79 00:04:49,519 --> 00:04:53,040 displaced peoples mathematically five percent of the world's population. We've 80 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,720 taken in twenty percent of the world's displaced peoples. You 81 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,120 want the home to continue, right, you want to be 82 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,040 able to continue to practice your faith. The devil is 83 00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:08,560 using open borders to destroy the country that has been 84 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,480 the home for this and it's against our laws. When 85 00:05:12,519 --> 00:05:15,639 you use the word refugee, and you're not using the 86 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:21,519 word illegal immigrant. You're not recognizing the frustration. The frustration 87 00:05:21,879 --> 00:05:23,680 is we have to follow the laws. 88 00:05:23,959 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 3: They don't. 89 00:05:25,519 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: If we get pulled over for a dui, we rightly 90 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,319 go to jail. In the separate countries like Washington, Oregon, 91 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:36,759 in California, they don't. In California, people who grew up 92 00:05:36,759 --> 00:05:40,879 there are having to flee either economically or culturally, to 93 00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:43,639 places like Texas. Economically because they can no longer afford 94 00:05:43,639 --> 00:05:47,240 a house. Illegal immigrants are being given one hundred and 95 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,959 fifty thousand dollars to purchase houses, and then they don't 96 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,000 have to make mortgage payments. According to one program, they 97 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,560 simply stay in the house and it appreciates in value, 98 00:05:57,199 --> 00:06:00,279 and when they decide to sell quote their house us 99 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,000 the bank gets first dub money and the illegal immigrants 100 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:09,639 get second up, having never made a payment. God tells 101 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,240 the powerful to not lord their power over others. He 102 00:06:13,399 --> 00:06:17,079 tells them there's neither servant nor master, Greek nor Jew. 103 00:06:17,439 --> 00:06:20,240 In other words, the Lord in the body of Christ 104 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,920 wants to view us all equally. He says in the 105 00:06:23,959 --> 00:06:27,560 Old Testament, use weights and measures, honest weights and measures. 106 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,079 He says in Romans thirteen, we are to obey the authorities. Well, 107 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,240 in our country, the authorities have an authority and that's 108 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,160 the constitution, and we are to bring laws to bear 109 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:45,160 equally on everybody. Please, if you are a Christian leader 110 00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:49,959 of note you have any audience, you're making disciples of something. 111 00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 2: Now. 112 00:06:50,519 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: I fully believe that pastor is a man who loves 113 00:06:53,879 --> 00:06:56,959 the Lord Jesus. I fully believe David Platt is making 114 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:02,560 active disciples of Jesus Christ. But there's also this accidental 115 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:03,839 discipling into this. 116 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 3: Wow. 117 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: Even the Christian leaders don't recognize that illegal immigration is 118 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,759 designed to harm this country. And if they don't even 119 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,000 recognize it's designed to do that, how can I trust 120 00:07:17,079 --> 00:07:21,759 their words on things like refugees and God's word. Please 121 00:07:22,079 --> 00:07:26,000 recognize the reality our country is under attack, and I 122 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,800 think Satan's a good part of that attack. 123 00:07:30,439 --> 00:07:31,319 Speaker 3: Story number three. 124 00:07:32,199 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm going to sit here and talk 125 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,959 about the WNBA. You probably remember the story I talked 126 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,160 about when I first went or had the opportunity to 127 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,199 go to a WNBA game. So, okay, I can't call 128 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,759 her a friend. She used to be a friend. 129 00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 3: She's someone I. 130 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,079 Speaker 1: Worked with at Microsoft. And she is a brilliant woman. 131 00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:53,800 She is a successful woman. She is a creative woman. 132 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:59,720 She is a hard working woman, and she is a 133 00:08:00,079 --> 00:08:03,279 very much to the left woman. She's a creature of 134 00:08:03,279 --> 00:08:06,560 the sexual left. Creatures a terrible word. She's a person 135 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,439 of the sexual left. She was one of the early 136 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:14,199 owners of the Seattle WNBA team, and I got notice 137 00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:18,160 from her that I could take my daughter to one 138 00:08:18,199 --> 00:08:21,240 of their first games. And I wrote back and said, wow, 139 00:08:21,279 --> 00:08:23,720 this is phenomenal. Thank you, of course this is you know, 140 00:08:23,759 --> 00:08:26,160 this is to be incredible. Congratulations and being a partial 141 00:08:26,199 --> 00:08:29,879 owner of the team, and I told my daughter, Hey, 142 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,840 let's grab a friend and let's go to this WNBA game. 143 00:08:32,879 --> 00:08:33,519 Speaker 3: At the time, my. 144 00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:35,919 Speaker 1: Daughter was a competitive athlete, so she was on a 145 00:08:36,159 --> 00:08:38,360 really highly ranked speed skating team. 146 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 3: So some of her athletic girlfriends are going to come 147 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:40,759 with us. 148 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: I went to go get seats to honor the tickets 149 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,200 that my friend had offered us, and I realized that 150 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,159 the first two games, I believe were fund racists for 151 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,360 planing paradid. In fact, we were all supposed to wear pink. 152 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,159 And I brought my daughter in and showed this to 153 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,000 her and said here's what they're celebrating. Do you still 154 00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:06,080 want to go because I don't think I can. She said, wait, 155 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,519 they're abortion. That's where you kill a baby. I said, 156 00:09:08,639 --> 00:09:11,000 h she goes, and she looked at me. She said 157 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:17,039 why why? Why is this not just basketball? That was 158 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,440 my introduction to the WNBA. So I had to write 159 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,440 to my friends, and I think this is where she 160 00:09:22,519 --> 00:09:25,919 became a former friend, saying gosh, I'm sorry, I can't 161 00:09:25,919 --> 00:09:28,799 go to the game. I cannot support its planned parenthood. 162 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,399 I didn't hear back from her. The WNBA was born 163 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,240 effectively as a grievance league, and somehow this is the 164 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,600 marketing they've undertaken. But this is just a guy looking 165 00:09:40,639 --> 00:09:42,919 at it from afar. I mean, I could watch the 166 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,559 games and appreciate the athletic talent, just like anybody else. 167 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,399 Basketball is not my game. But when I'm watching a 168 00:09:48,519 --> 00:09:54,000 woman set scoring records, rebounding well, no, not rebounding records, 169 00:09:54,039 --> 00:09:58,799 scoring records, field goal records, defensive records, and not being 170 00:09:58,879 --> 00:10:02,519 recognized for that by ESPN and the WNBA, I'm watching 171 00:10:02,519 --> 00:10:05,320 a grievance league come around in full. I'll show what 172 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,559 I mean, including an assault one of the countless assaults 173 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:13,200 against Caitlin Clark. No, I mean countless. You won't believe 174 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,120 the percentage of assaults she's suffered in a league that 175 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,799 has been run by and four black women who support 176 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,480 the sexual left. I'll tell you about this in a second. 177 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,440 In our studio, just like his ESPN studios, we've got 178 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,039 expensive lighting, maybe not as expensive. 179 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:30,039 Speaker 3: As they have. 180 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: God built the studio with his money. I mean, he 181 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,960 didn't build it, but he gave us the money to 182 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,360 build it. So I'm surrounded by lights. I've got a 183 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,639 light on top of me. There's a microphone. You can't 184 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,600 see behind the camera. There are a whole series of 185 00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:44,840 devices that nan is at. There's a monitor or a television monitor. 186 00:10:45,039 --> 00:10:47,480 There's these three cameras in front of me, so we 187 00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:50,679 get all these different views. Now it can go camera one, two, three. 188 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,320 There's Nana sitting over. 189 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,159 Speaker 3: There with a board and a road cast pro. 190 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: And so there's a lot of money in this studio, 191 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,600 and we had to build the space out. Christopher and 192 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,960 Natta went through and they sound treated the room. You 193 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,799 can't see that either, but there's a reason that the 194 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,919 sound sounds so good. So you can't have something like 195 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,559 an air filter running during a program like this, because 196 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,000 it would drown out all that hard work and it 197 00:11:13,039 --> 00:11:14,799 would not be good stewardship of God's money. 198 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 3: But just as well, we can't spend six. 199 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,879 Speaker 1: Hours a day in here recording as we often do 200 00:11:20,039 --> 00:11:22,919 and not have fresh air. Windows are not an option 201 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,279 because of the sound quality. So plugged into the wall 202 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,600 over there, a stone's throw away. In fact, I could 203 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,759 toss a tiny penny at It is the oxy leaf 204 00:11:31,799 --> 00:11:35,120 to thunderstorm device. As you are listening to this, it 205 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:40,519 is producing ozone. Those three molecules bond to any bad 206 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,080 smelling molecules and they destroy them. So think through some scenarios. 207 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,000 Rooms in your house. Maybe a basement is just permanently 208 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:53,360 musty thunderstorm. Maybe you have cats thunderstorm oxy leaf two. 209 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,679 Maybe you have an airbnb and you have a very 210 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,559 successful airbnb business with people in and out of there. 211 00:12:00,159 --> 00:12:03,080 The oxy Leaf two will make sure it smells exactly 212 00:12:03,159 --> 00:12:06,000 like the day after a thunderstorm, no matter what the 213 00:12:06,039 --> 00:12:09,279 previous guests do. And obviously you'll clean your airbnb. Think 214 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,279 about your kids in a dorm or in a military barracks, 215 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,399 or someone who's a long haul trucker or someone who's 216 00:12:14,399 --> 00:12:15,720 out in an RV at the time. 217 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 3: All these scenarios. 218 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: Apply, it will absolutely change the way the space smells. 219 00:12:21,919 --> 00:12:24,519 So breathe a breath of fresh air.

This is a highlight reel of 224 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,240 Caitlin Clark and she is just absolutely killing it. It'so 225 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,720 a mini highlight reel doing the step back for the 226 00:12:45,799 --> 00:12:49,960 three buries it in the bucket one more time from 227 00:12:50,039 --> 00:12:54,399 the outside, almost a side shot. Boom three, boom three, 228 00:12:54,919 --> 00:12:57,320 boom three. 229 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:06,519 Speaker 6: She is so confident in her abilities and such a 230 00:13:06,519 --> 00:13:09,960 competent player that I've learned a phrase, the step back. 231 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 3: I didn't know what that meant. You dribble the ball 232 00:13:12,399 --> 00:13:13,519 up before the three. 233 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,399 Speaker 1: Point line, you realize, you know what I'm just this 234 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,399 is this defender's stepped back. I'm going to step back 235 00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:21,039 behind the three point line and boom. 236 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 3: Bury the bucket. Bury the ball in the bucket. See. 237 00:13:23,159 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: I don't do basketball, but I can watch her dominate 238 00:13:25,759 --> 00:13:29,720 this league when she came in, she became an enemy 239 00:13:29,799 --> 00:13:32,559 of certain people, such as Angel Reese. 240 00:13:32,919 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 3: I think there are people. 241 00:13:33,919 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: Who have built their brand on I'm gonna be the 242 00:13:37,159 --> 00:13:41,159 black woman beating up on the white woman, and this 243 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,600 has happened time and time and time again. People who 244 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,559 track sports are tracking some interesting statistics, suggesting, as the 245 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:54,440 Clark report does, that Catherine Kathy Ingelbart needs to make 246 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,639 it clear that teams that this behavior will not be 247 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,840 tolert she runs the WNBA. Caitlin Clark has received almost 248 00:14:01,039 --> 00:14:05,000 twenty percent of the fouls in the league, eighty percent 249 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:11,440 of those from one team, the Chicago Sky. She's assaulted 250 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,320 again and again and again. This is a quick one, 251 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:17,840 easy enough to describe for people. 252 00:14:17,879 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 7: Trust Tona. 253 00:14:18,519 --> 00:14:19,919 Speaker 3: The fever really stretched out. 254 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 5: This one takes a pass as we look at Dimond 255 00:14:24,639 --> 00:14:25,799 Caitlyn Clark. 256 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,679 Speaker 1: And this player for Chicago comes over and buries his 257 00:14:29,759 --> 00:14:30,600 shoulder into her. 258 00:14:31,399 --> 00:14:32,639 Speaker 3: It's not a basketball player. 259 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,159 Speaker 1: She had no opportunity to get to the ball, no 260 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,639 opportunity to even reach into the ball, so instead she 261 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,200 buries Caate and Clark into the floor. Caitland Clark, on 262 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:46,639 many occasions has had to argue for a enhanced penalty. 263 00:14:47,559 --> 00:14:49,759 There is a penalty you can have where the penalty 264 00:14:49,799 --> 00:14:52,360 is particularly grievous or particularly obvious, and I guess it's 265 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,279 from two shots to three at the foul line. Caitlin 266 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,279 Clark is being targeted, but not just by fellow players. 267 00:15:01,399 --> 00:15:05,919 ESPN has released its WNBA rankings for twenty twenty. 268 00:15:05,639 --> 00:15:06,919 Speaker 3: Four Rookie of the Year. 269 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,159 Speaker 1: They've placed seventh round draft pick Angel Reese again this 270 00:15:12,279 --> 00:15:16,279 is from Clark Report, at number one, and first round 271 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:21,039 draft pick Caitlin Collins at number two. So the author 272 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,399 of the tweet went to go look this up. It's oh, pardy, 273 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,879 this is a Mary King writing. A Mary King tracks 274 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,679 sports as well. He went to go look up the 275 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:35,279 statistics head to head, side by side Angel Reese versus 276 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,879 Caitlyn Clark in the regular season, Angel Reese is one 277 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:46,000 and three, Caitlyn Clark is three and one. Overall statistics goals, 278 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,200 Caitlin Clark slightly ahead at thirty two points per game. 279 00:15:50,519 --> 00:15:54,240 Caitlin Clark way ahead. She's at eighteen point four. Angel 280 00:15:54,279 --> 00:15:57,559 Reese is at thirteen point two. Total rebounds per game. 281 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,639 Angel Rees leads. There's pretty impressively twelve point nine versus 282 00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:03,399 five point seven for Caitlin Clark. Some of that has 283 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,039 to do with the position Kaitlin Clark plays. Assists per 284 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,480 game eight point three for Kitlin Clark, one point eight 285 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:17,000 for Angel Reese. It continues throughout the entire rest of 286 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,759 the scoring blocks per game she leads Caitlin Clark almost 287 00:16:20,879 --> 00:16:25,159 double field goal percentage point four to one nine for Caitlin, 288 00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:29,679 point three to eight six for Angel Reese, three points 289 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,799 point three to three seven for Kitlin Clark, point one 290 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,480 six seven for Angel Reese. 291 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,159 Speaker 3: Every statistic but. 292 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: Rebounds Kitland Clark leads. But ESPN has decided that Angel 293 00:16:44,639 --> 00:16:47,639 Rees needs to be Rookie of the Year. You remember 294 00:16:47,679 --> 00:16:51,399 in the Olympics that a black woman had to give 295 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,519 a medal back. Do you remember this? No, isn't skating. 296 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,519 She had to give him metal back? Why because the 297 00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:06,519 judges went and looked at the footage and said, no, no, 298 00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:12,079 the white woman actually won the medal. Here, when a league, 299 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,680 in a society becomes obsessed with reparations, it's not just 300 00:17:16,759 --> 00:17:20,440 going to be money. It's going to be achievements. It's 301 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,400 going to be things earned. And this should make sense. 302 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,680 After all, men can steal the trophies of women the 303 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,720 scholarships of women, the championships of women. Why would it 304 00:17:28,759 --> 00:17:34,319 be any difference in race. The WNBA players for years 305 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,640 have argued that they are underpaid in comparison to men. Okay, 306 00:17:39,599 --> 00:17:43,920 they also underproduced revenue at a very impressive amount in 307 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,079 comparison to men. But let me ask this question, why 308 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,880 are women in fashion paid so much more than men? 309 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,839 Why are male models paid so much less than female models? Because, 310 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,759 of course, the market for of female martyrs models is greater. 311 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,119 They sell more clothing, they sell more makeup. Most men 312 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,119 do not regard what male models wear as something. 313 00:18:04,839 --> 00:18:05,839 Speaker 3: That they should follow. 314 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: We're much more likely to look at a T shirt 315 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,359 one of our favorite athletes would wear if you're impressed 316 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:15,400 by anything like that. The WNBA should recognize this. Caitlin 317 00:18:15,519 --> 00:18:19,839 Clarke has put the league on the map, and it's 318 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,880 drawn attention from people like me. I now look at 319 00:18:24,079 --> 00:18:27,839 NBA highlights because Caitlyn's white. No, because I'm looking at 320 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,799 a level of play that I've not seen before in 321 00:18:29,839 --> 00:18:31,920 the WNBA and looking at the satistics. 322 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:32,839 Speaker 3: Nor is anyone else. 323 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 1: She is the record setter in terms of being the 324 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,319 rookie with the best performance in the history of this league. 325 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:46,200 Instead of promoting this and promoting her, ESPN is set 326 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,599 and obsessed with making sure a white woman does not 327 00:18:49,839 --> 00:18:54,440 steal the metal of a black woman who actually doesn't 328 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,519 deserve it. Statistically speaking, it makes sense in an era 329 00:18:57,599 --> 00:19:03,000 of reparations. And to ESPN understand this, you have already 330 00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:06,119 kicked people like me out of watching football on your network. 331 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,319 I don't watch your network. I have no exposure to 332 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,799 your network. If you keep going this way, you're going 333 00:19:10,839 --> 00:19:15,960 to win a whole bunch of treasures in heaven. Oh sorry, 334 00:19:16,279 --> 00:19:20,160 I meant on earth. In the body of Christ, God 335 00:19:20,319 --> 00:19:23,680 is very very clear he wants to view us equally, 336 00:19:23,759 --> 00:19:27,119 and he does. In the body of Christ, neither Servant, 337 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,559 nor Drew Greek, nor Master God invented all the so 338 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,839 called races, including white women like Caitlyn Clark. God loves 339 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:41,599 Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark equally. Why can't ESPN Story 340 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:46,359 number three? Do you remember joy? Like the last time 341 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,680 you just felt a surprise load of joy? There's been 342 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,880 some occasions recently where I did. My wife gave me 343 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,000 a really really great birthday surprise. She'd never met some 344 00:19:56,039 --> 00:19:58,839 of my CrossFit friends, so we went out to eat, 345 00:19:59,079 --> 00:19:59,759 and I kind of. 346 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 3: My wife was so furious that I knew. 347 00:20:03,079 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 1: I kind of knew because my friend Ben is not 348 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,400 an effective liar, and he didn't lie. He doesn't lie. 349 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,319 He's a very honest man. But he said something about, oh, 350 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,559 your birthday is coming up. I said, yeah, yeah, it is, yeah, 351 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,160 and he's and I said, hey, you should come and 352 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,759 do a birthday work out with me. I't me get 353 00:20:17,759 --> 00:20:20,440 ready for seal fit. And Ben's response sold it, I 354 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,119 got it. Oh wait, oh wait, wait, wait wait wait wait, 355 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,240 something to being set up here. Then my wife was 356 00:20:27,279 --> 00:20:30,000 taking me to my favorite restaurant, Ember's on the Lake 357 00:20:30,039 --> 00:20:32,000 and how's her Idaho? Go down there and try the 358 00:20:32,039 --> 00:20:34,400 Herminator pizza or the Uncle Charlie pizza. 359 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 3: Those things are well. 360 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,319 Speaker 1: The horminator is obviously named after me, Uncle Charlie, I 361 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,359 helped design Ember's on the Lake and howser Idaho. So 362 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,000 we go down there, and I know, we walk in 363 00:20:44,079 --> 00:20:46,680 the door and one of the young ladies I know said, hey, how. 364 00:20:46,519 --> 00:20:50,319 Speaker 3: Many tonight, Todd, And my wife steps and she goes four. No, wait, no, 365 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:51,720 pardon me, she said five. Five? 366 00:20:52,799 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: Oh okay five Wait a minute, wait a minute, this 367 00:20:55,279 --> 00:20:59,000 is somewhat of kids a kid. Oh wait, I knew 368 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:00,480 exactly it was gonna be as Ben and his wife 369 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:01,079 and his kid. 370 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,559 Speaker 3: I knew it. And my wife was so sad and 371 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:05,640 upset that I knew this. 372 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,039 Speaker 1: I said, no, this is great. I like to guess 373 00:21:08,079 --> 00:21:12,000 these things. It didn't kill the surprise to me at all. 374 00:21:12,279 --> 00:21:14,559 When I saw Ben's truck come around the corner. The 375 00:21:14,599 --> 00:21:16,079 only thing I was sad about was that his little 376 00:21:16,079 --> 00:21:18,279 boy didn't get to come. But we got to see 377 00:21:18,279 --> 00:21:20,880 them the day before, and this is actually the day 378 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:25,240 before my birthday, and his son, Praise God, was born 379 00:21:25,279 --> 00:21:27,880 on the same day as me. That was a surprise 380 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,119 amount of joy. Loved it. When was the last time 381 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,039 you had surprise joy delivered to you that way? I 382 00:21:34,079 --> 00:21:36,680 can think of another time. It had to do with music. 383 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,359 There is a clip that's quote resurfaced. This is a 384 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,720 trick on YouTube. Resurface clip has to do with one 385 00:21:43,759 --> 00:21:46,880 of my favorite artists being put into a position that 386 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,079 I remember what he did this, I remember talking about this. 387 00:21:50,519 --> 00:21:54,640 But imagine being a live audience that does not know 388 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,319 a legend in music is behind a curtain. When you 389 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,039 walk in to this bar and sit down, I'll show 390 00:22:02,079 --> 00:22:03,240 this to you in a second, and then I'll tell 391 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,440 you about the surprise joy that my friend Matthew and 392 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:10,039 I had that simply blew us out. I got this 393 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,920 note and it's not joyful, it's hopeful. 394 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 7: You know. 395 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 1: We work with Alan Soaps at alansoaps dot com slash todd. 396 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,200 That's the soap company that employs young people who the 397 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,920 party would have rather seen aborted. Young Allan is thirteen. 398 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,920 He's been through about eighteen operations. He's nonverbal, but he 399 00:22:29,039 --> 00:22:34,680 invents fragrances of soap from his memory important days. He's nonverbal, 400 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:39,640 he can communicate using a kind of iPad device from 401 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,720 time to time when he needs to, and he can 402 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,880 tell us about things he remembers, like, hey, remember when 403 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,960 Grandma cooked lunch or brunch and she gave us this 404 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,920 watermelon basil salad. He remembers this scent of that, or 405 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:58,000 another grandma with a honey with a cedarwood chest, and 406 00:22:58,079 --> 00:23:01,640 the smells of that are very unique. So is the 407 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,240 mission to employ young people like Alan. Ian now works there. 408 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,119 His brother, a young woman who's not in the family, 409 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,359 works there. All these young people are equally impacted by 410 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:12,799 things like autism and down center. 411 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 3: That's why Alan Soaps exists. 412 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,319 Speaker 1: The soap is high quality, it's made in America, all natural, 413 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,880 absolutely gentle. The family that makes it for John and Allan, 414 00:23:21,279 --> 00:23:23,839 they have three generations of soap making expertise. But I 415 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,519 want to pause on that and just ask you to 416 00:23:25,519 --> 00:23:26,279 pray for John. 417 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 3: He changed his life. 418 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,319 Speaker 1: He redirected his life away from digital marketing to run 419 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,680 this company so his kids will have a place to 420 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:39,160 work the dignity of work. He's battling cancer. He's on 421 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,640 treatment number three of eight of chemo. So I simply 422 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,720 want to just take a pause. This is a guy 423 00:23:44,759 --> 00:23:47,079 you've never met, and just ask you to pray for John. 424 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 3: Would you do that? Please do that. 425 00:23:50,319 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 1: This was a setup for a TV show. People are 426 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,200 invited in with a comedian filming a TV show, Hey 427 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,440 Free Beers. So they're in this bar and they're sitting 428 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,279 down and then people begin to go to a jukebox 429 00:24:02,319 --> 00:24:04,359 on the wall and it's a really obvious jukebox. There's 430 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,920 nothing else there. So they approached the jukebox and they 431 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,079 start to select some songs. Interestingly, there was a limited 432 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:15,680 number of songs in the jukebox. Drink and Woman hits 433 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:16,640 the button on the jukebox. 434 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 8: It sits down, curtains open, and he's there. 435 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:24,519 Speaker 7: There's Paul McCartney. 436 00:24:24,599 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 3: He's there. 437 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 8: He's learnally playing live with it's a band of a 438 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:51,079 howk your bass? These people are five feet from him. 439 00:24:51,319 --> 00:24:54,799 Speaker 1: I'm looking at a woman in her sixties dancing like 440 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,359 she was when she was eighteen, and next to her. 441 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 3: There's a young guy that looks like be in his twenties. 442 00:25:02,559 --> 00:25:05,559 Speaker 1: The older ladies, white lady, Now listen here, listen, here 443 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:10,119 you have if you want to song, go to the 444 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,119 jubebom and put it on and free for the rest 445 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:13,559 of the night. 446 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 2: Go. 447 00:25:14,599 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 3: So people race over to the jumbark. 448 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,079 Speaker 7: This is a brilliant idea. I know that comedia has 449 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:19,400 a name. 450 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,759 Speaker 3: I can't remember his name again. 451 00:25:21,559 --> 00:25:28,319 Speaker 1: It's McCarthy. 452 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 3: Mom. 453 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 7: Go. 454 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 9: So people are figuring out outside that you can go 455 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:42,839 on and do this. 456 00:25:44,119 --> 00:26:01,079 Speaker 7: Why this song? This is a trash beetle song. John 457 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,079 Lennon hated that song. By the way. 458 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 1: John Lennon called that McCartney just writing crash that's here 459 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:08,680 we go. 460 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 9: That sounds like it did on the record. 461 00:26:36,559 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: So Paul McCartney has the capacity to bring joy to people. 462 00:26:40,839 --> 00:26:43,079 Speaker 3: I really wish Paul was saved. He's not. 463 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: Paul believes because his mother said some words over him 464 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,200 when he was young, that he has his gateway into heaven. 465 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 3: He doesn't. 466 00:26:50,319 --> 00:26:54,039 Speaker 1: It saddens me because Macca has meant a lot to 467 00:26:54,079 --> 00:26:55,200 me his music. 468 00:26:56,039 --> 00:26:58,279 Speaker 3: It's met a lot of joy, a lot of introspection. 469 00:26:58,799 --> 00:27:00,559 And I'll tell you about a surprise. I'm going to joy. 470 00:27:00,599 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 1: My friend Matthew and I had that was so cool. 471 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,039 It was the More Theater in Seattle, and we went 472 00:27:07,079 --> 00:27:08,880 to go see a band that was on the rise, 473 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,319 a band called Crowded House. By my estimation, Neil Finn, 474 00:27:12,519 --> 00:27:15,279 the chief songwriter of that band, is probably the most 475 00:27:15,319 --> 00:27:19,200 gifted pop songwriter since Lennon McCartney. He works often now 476 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,079 with his brother Tim, who's not as equally gifted, but great, 477 00:27:22,079 --> 00:27:25,759 great singing voice. Tim was in the Split Ends and 478 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,400 brought Neil Finn into that band. 479 00:27:28,319 --> 00:27:29,799 Speaker 3: So we went to go see Crowded House. 480 00:27:29,839 --> 00:27:32,319 Speaker 1: This is during the Temple of Lowman tour and the 481 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,400 big songs they had at the time were Don't Dream, 482 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,799 It's Over, into Temptation. It didn't go up the charts 483 00:27:37,799 --> 00:27:39,960 like it should, a beautiful, beautiful song song called I 484 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,839 feel possessed and better be home soon. So we went 485 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,400 down to the More Theater and we're the straight you know, 486 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,480 non drinkers, non smokers, non druggers in the audience. And 487 00:27:51,519 --> 00:27:57,200 we sit down and we're probably six rows back and 488 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,119 excited to be there. And the lights come up a 489 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:06,359 little bit and some dude walks on stage and it's like, okay, 490 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,440 who's this. This is not Crowded House. There is no 491 00:28:08,519 --> 00:28:12,079 warm up act announced, but it's a guy with a guitar. 492 00:28:13,279 --> 00:28:17,119 He walks up to the microphone and Matthew elbows me 493 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,759 because that's a Rickenbacker. That's a twelve string Ricky. Sure enough, 494 00:28:20,799 --> 00:28:25,000 it was a twelve string Rickenbacker guitar electric. One guy 495 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,759 steps up to the microphone kind of strums it and says, Hi, 496 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,119 my name's Roger mcgwinn. I used to write a lot 497 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,880 of songs with a band called the Birds, and Crowded 498 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,359 House said I could come on stage and play some 499 00:28:39,519 --> 00:28:45,000 for you, some for my new record. A legendary artist 500 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:51,079 who happens to be a quiet Christian was on stage. 501 00:28:52,279 --> 00:28:55,359 Roger mcgwinn very quietly goes about the country sharing the 502 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,880 word of Christ. I truly wish he would be more 503 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,160 open about it, but maybe this is how God told 504 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,480 him to do it. Quietly, he lit up the rickey 505 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:10,960 and started to play some songs from the Birds my 506 00:29:11,079 --> 00:29:16,240 back pages, you remember that one, And he played a 507 00:29:16,279 --> 00:29:19,200 new song from his record called I'm Gonna Catch chat 508 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:24,640 Horse if I can. And it's supposedly about pursuing this beautiful, 509 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,720 beautiful race horse that he sees in the mountains, until 510 00:29:28,759 --> 00:29:33,039 you realize that it's actually the pursuit of faith, actually 511 00:29:33,119 --> 00:29:36,880 the pursuit of the living Lord Jesus. That becomes clear 512 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:42,240 to the lyrics. Then some guys came walking from off 513 00:29:42,279 --> 00:29:45,680 stage and they're in street clothes. They're not in performance 514 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,319 closed crowded house dresses up when they player they used 515 00:29:48,359 --> 00:29:51,480 to and off the stage. Are on the stage. These 516 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,000 guys walk and it's the house, crowded house, and they 517 00:29:55,079 --> 00:30:00,079 stand behind Roger mcgwin. They play eight Miles High. I 518 00:30:00,119 --> 00:30:03,960 want to be a rock and roll star, absolutely stunning, 519 00:30:04,359 --> 00:30:10,279 stunning harmonies, rhythms a we are five rows from a 520 00:30:10,359 --> 00:30:14,720 legendary rock star. Matthew and I built our connection based 521 00:30:14,799 --> 00:30:18,720 upon music, and that connection is what led me to 522 00:30:18,799 --> 00:30:21,599 becoming a believer in the Lord not just someone who 523 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,920 entertained the idea, but being a believer. It was music 524 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,039 that was that bridge. And I remember talking with him 525 00:30:28,079 --> 00:30:32,160 late at night in his dad's home about why music 526 00:30:32,279 --> 00:30:36,079 touches us, and he was the first one to ever 527 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,400 share with me that God designed us to be able 528 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,559 to receive joy like this. There's no evolutionary reason in 529 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:48,279 the world why you should enjoy a particularly beautiful song 530 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,119 or particularly beautiful harmonies. There's no reason in the world 531 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:58,799 that music hit. Music is also mathematically predictable in terms 532 00:30:58,839 --> 00:31:03,200 of chord structure and music theory. That's not evolutionary. That's 533 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,640 like DNA. I believe God signs his work. I believe 534 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:12,279 he signs the heavens and their beautiful design. I believe 535 00:31:12,279 --> 00:31:15,880 he signs DNA in its elegant code. And I believe 536 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,000 God signs his work in how a one, four or 537 00:31:19,079 --> 00:31:21,680 five chord structure that you've heard over and over and 538 00:31:21,759 --> 00:31:26,400 over again made me with a minor sixth why it 539 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:33,000 appeals so consistently through time. He gives certain people like 540 00:31:33,119 --> 00:31:36,839 McCartney to be able to deliver to us emotions in music, 541 00:31:37,799 --> 00:31:41,279 the chords of which can't exist without God because it's 542 00:31:41,319 --> 00:31:44,680 his air.
