Speaker 1: Welcome to the Three Stories version of The Todd Herman Show.
How to selectively edit God's word to support illegal immigration
and reparations in the WNBA and ESPN bosses hate hate
white woman, well woman, well because she represents white women.
We'll talk about this and does anyone remember joy not
the person the feeling. Talk about this with the help
of God Almighty and our YouTube channel YouTube dot com
slash at the Todd Herman Show. Thank you Lord for
making that thrive.
Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one disapproved by big pharma,
technocurrats and tyrants everywhere from the high mountains of Free America.
Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman.
Speaker 3: Today is the day the Lord has made. These are
the times to which God has decided where shall live.
There's a pastor I've just learned.
Speaker 1: Leanna has read his books and it seems to be
a good Guy's name's David Platt. So I got to
believe this is not something that he's doing on purpose.
But it's done all the time, and some people do
do it on purpose. It's taking God's word and finding
ways to have it applied to circumstances where it doesn't apply,
And again I don't think David Platt's doing that given
his background as an evangelical pastor, and I trust out
his views on this and is a good thinker. And
she's someone who also is involved in worship leadership, so
I know she walks with the Lord. I watched the
clip and it made me sad. It made me sad
because of the conflating of one single word. If we
are going to be pastoral leaders, and I'm not, I'm
not qualified to be a pastor. I've been through a
pastoral residency, but I've not been ordained and probably shouldn't be.
Speaker 3: If we're going to.
Speaker 1: Be spiritual leaders, Christian leaders, we need to really, really
be careful with words, particularly when we're going to talk
about political topics, because the enemy wants spiritual leaders, particularly
Christian leaders, to be distrusted. Actually, he'd love people to
trust im, moms and others. He wants people to distrust
Christian leaders. This is Pastor David Blattz so problem.
Speaker 4: When Christians in the United States are the most resistant
to refugees in our communities, like we believe Acts Chapter seventeen,
God orchestrates the movement of peoples among the nations that
they might be found by Him, and the way God
has put in so many communities where we live, people
from other places in the world, even from places specifically
in the world that have little to no access to
the Gospel, where it's hard to get to those places.
God has brought people from those places to our doorsteps, right.
Speaker 5: Outside where we live and where we work.
Speaker 3: So let's be intentional.
Speaker 5: The love of them, with the love of Christ to
help them amidst all the challenges they're walking through, just
as a picture of doing justice and loving mercy, loving
our neighbors as ourselves. And as we do that, let's
share the greatest news in the world with people from
the nations that God has brought to our neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Yes, since from him a great, great love of the
Lord you, so I truly believe you believes this. And
I'll tell you something. One of the things I miss
about living in the big cities is the smells and
the languages of different cultures. That is so enriching to me.
To be able to go to a restaurant, just a
restaurant in Seattle, Hope is still there because they've destroyed
that neighborhood. Black Lives Matter incorporated in a who destroyed
that neighborhood.
Speaker 3: It's called Chinatown.
Speaker 1: They've tried to rename it the International District, but it's Chinatown.
There's a restaurant there called Shanghai Gardens, and we used
to go there as a family and they've got the
most incredible barley green noodles that they handmake. And no
one there speaks English. I mean, it's a place where
you point and they can understand maybe the English, you know,
in ecognized words for their menu, but to hear the
language and to see the way they present their.
Speaker 3: Culture, it's a gift, truly.
Speaker 1: The conflating is this. I don't know Christians who are
anti refugee. What I see are Christians.
Speaker 3: Who watch what the devil is doing.
Speaker 1: If you believe the United States is the home for
displaced peoples mathematically five percent of the world's population. We've
taken in twenty percent of the world's displaced peoples. You
want the home to continue, right, you want to be
able to continue to practice your faith. The devil is
using open borders to destroy the country that has been
the home for this and it's against our laws. When
you use the word refugee, and you're not using the
word illegal immigrant. You're not recognizing the frustration. The frustration
is we have to follow the laws.
Speaker 3: They don't.
Speaker 1: If we get pulled over for a dui, we rightly
go to jail. In the separate countries like Washington, Oregon,
in California, they don't. In California, people who grew up
there are having to flee either economically or culturally, to
places like Texas. Economically because they can no longer afford
a house. Illegal immigrants are being given one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars to purchase houses, and then they don't
have to make mortgage payments. According to one program, they
simply stay in the house and it appreciates in value,
and when they decide to sell quote their house us
the bank gets first dub money and the illegal immigrants
get second up, having never made a payment. God tells
the powerful to not lord their power over others. He
tells them there's neither servant nor master, Greek nor Jew.
In other words, the Lord in the body of Christ
wants to view us all equally. He says in the
Old Testament, use weights and measures, honest weights and measures.
He says in Romans thirteen, we are to obey the authorities. Well,
in our country, the authorities have an authority and that's
the constitution, and we are to bring laws to bear
equally on everybody. Please, if you are a Christian leader
of note you have any audience, you're making disciples of something.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I fully believe that pastor is a man who loves
the Lord Jesus. I fully believe David Platt is making
active disciples of Jesus Christ. But there's also this accidental
discipling into this.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: Even the Christian leaders don't recognize that illegal immigration is
designed to harm this country. And if they don't even
recognize it's designed to do that, how can I trust
their words on things like refugees and God's word. Please
recognize the reality our country is under attack, and I
think Satan's a good part of that attack.
Speaker 3: Story number three.
Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm going to sit here and talk
about the WNBA. You probably remember the story I talked
about when I first went or had the opportunity to
go to a WNBA game. So, okay, I can't call
her a friend. She used to be a friend.
Speaker 3: She's someone I.
Speaker 1: Worked with at Microsoft. And she is a brilliant woman.
She is a successful woman. She is a creative woman.
She is a hard working woman, and she is a
very much to the left woman. She's a creature of
the sexual left. Creatures a terrible word. She's a person
of the sexual left. She was one of the early
owners of the Seattle WNBA team, and I got notice
from her that I could take my daughter to one
of their first games. And I wrote back and said, wow,
this is phenomenal. Thank you, of course this is you know,
this is to be incredible. Congratulations and being a partial
owner of the team, and I told my daughter, Hey,
let's grab a friend and let's go to this WNBA game.
Speaker 3: At the time, my.
Speaker 1: Daughter was a competitive athlete, so she was on a
really highly ranked speed skating team.
Speaker 3: So some of her athletic girlfriends are going to come
with us.
Speaker 1: I went to go get seats to honor the tickets
that my friend had offered us, and I realized that
the first two games, I believe were fund racists for
planing paradid. In fact, we were all supposed to wear pink.
And I brought my daughter in and showed this to
her and said here's what they're celebrating. Do you still
want to go because I don't think I can. She said, wait,
they're abortion. That's where you kill a baby. I said,
h she goes, and she looked at me. She said
why why? Why is this not just basketball? That was
my introduction to the WNBA. So I had to write
to my friends, and I think this is where she
became a former friend, saying gosh, I'm sorry, I can't
go to the game. I cannot support its planned parenthood.
I didn't hear back from her. The WNBA was born
effectively as a grievance league, and somehow this is the
marketing they've undertaken. But this is just a guy looking
at it from afar. I mean, I could watch the
games and appreciate the athletic talent, just like anybody else.
Basketball is not my game. But when I'm watching a
woman set scoring records, rebounding well, no, not rebounding records,
scoring records, field goal records, defensive records, and not being
recognized for that by ESPN and the WNBA, I'm watching
a grievance league come around in full. I'll show what
I mean, including an assault one of the countless assaults
against Caitlin Clark. No, I mean countless. You won't believe
the percentage of assaults she's suffered in a league that
has been run by and four black women who support
the sexual left. I'll tell you about this in a second.
In our studio, just like his ESPN studios, we've got
expensive lighting, maybe not as expensive.
Speaker 3: As they have.
Speaker 1: God built the studio with his money. I mean, he
didn't build it, but he gave us the money to
build it. So I'm surrounded by lights. I've got a
light on top of me. There's a microphone. You can't
see behind the camera. There are a whole series of
devices that nan is at. There's a monitor or a television monitor.
There's these three cameras in front of me, so we
get all these different views. Now it can go camera one, two, three.
There's Nana sitting over.
Speaker 3: There with a board and a road cast pro.
Speaker 1: And so there's a lot of money in this studio,
and we had to build the space out. Christopher and
Natta went through and they sound treated the room. You
can't see that either, but there's a reason that the
sound sounds so good. So you can't have something like
an air filter running during a program like this, because
it would drown out all that hard work and it
would not be good stewardship of God's money.
Speaker 3: But just as well, we can't spend six.
Speaker 1: Hours a day in here recording as we often do
and not have fresh air. Windows are not an option
because of the sound quality. So plugged into the wall
over there, a stone's throw away. In fact, I could
toss a tiny penny at It is the oxy leaf
to thunderstorm device. As you are listening to this, it
is producing ozone. Those three molecules bond to any bad
smelling molecules and they destroy them. So think through some scenarios.
Rooms in your house. Maybe a basement is just permanently
musty thunderstorm. Maybe you have cats thunderstorm oxy leaf two.
Maybe you have an airbnb and you have a very
successful airbnb business with people in and out of there.
The oxy Leaf two will make sure it smells exactly
like the day after a thunderstorm, no matter what the
previous guests do. And obviously you'll clean your airbnb. Think
about your kids in a dorm or in a military barracks,
or someone who's a long haul trucker or someone who's
out in an RV at the time.
Speaker 3: All these scenarios.
Speaker 1: Apply, it will absolutely change the way the space smells.
So breathe a breath of fresh air. Go to edenprideals
dot com enter code Todd three and I will save
you two hundred dollars three of these devices. So you
breathe a breath of fresh air again edenper deals dot com,
enter code Todd three. This is a highlight reel of
Caitlin Clark and she is just absolutely killing it. It'so
a mini highlight reel doing the step back for the
three buries it in the bucket one more time from
the outside, almost a side shot. Boom three, boom three,
boom three.
Speaker 6: She is so confident in her abilities and such a
competent player that I've learned a phrase, the step back.
Speaker 3: I didn't know what that meant. You dribble the ball
up before the three.
Speaker 1: Point line, you realize, you know what I'm just this
is this defender's stepped back. I'm going to step back
behind the three point line and boom.
Speaker 3: Bury the bucket. Bury the ball in the bucket. See.
Speaker 1: I don't do basketball, but I can watch her dominate
this league when she came in, she became an enemy
of certain people, such as Angel Reese.
Speaker 3: I think there are people.
Speaker 1: Who have built their brand on I'm gonna be the
black woman beating up on the white woman, and this
has happened time and time and time again. People who
track sports are tracking some interesting statistics, suggesting, as the
Clark report does, that Catherine Kathy Ingelbart needs to make
it clear that teams that this behavior will not be
tolert she runs the WNBA. Caitlin Clark has received almost
twenty percent of the fouls in the league, eighty percent
of those from one team, the Chicago Sky. She's assaulted
again and again and again. This is a quick one,
easy enough to describe for people.
Speaker 7: Trust Tona.
Speaker 3: The fever really stretched out.
Speaker 5: This one takes a pass as we look at Dimond
Caitlyn Clark.
Speaker 1: And this player for Chicago comes over and buries his
shoulder into her.
Speaker 3: It's not a basketball player.
Speaker 1: She had no opportunity to get to the ball, no
opportunity to even reach into the ball, so instead she
buries Caate and Clark into the floor. Caitland Clark, on
many occasions has had to argue for a enhanced penalty.
There is a penalty you can have where the penalty
is particularly grievous or particularly obvious, and I guess it's
from two shots to three at the foul line. Caitlin
Clark is being targeted, but not just by fellow players.
ESPN has released its WNBA rankings for twenty twenty.
Speaker 3: Four Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 1: They've placed seventh round draft pick Angel Reese again this
is from Clark Report, at number one, and first round
draft pick Caitlin Collins at number two. So the author
of the tweet went to go look this up. It's oh, pardy,
this is a Mary King writing. A Mary King tracks
sports as well. He went to go look up the
statistics head to head, side by side Angel Reese versus
Caitlyn Clark in the regular season, Angel Reese is one
and three, Caitlyn Clark is three and one. Overall statistics goals,
Caitlin Clark slightly ahead at thirty two points per game.
Caitlin Clark way ahead. She's at eighteen point four. Angel
Reese is at thirteen point two. Total rebounds per game.
Angel Rees leads. There's pretty impressively twelve point nine versus
five point seven for Caitlin Clark. Some of that has
to do with the position Kaitlin Clark plays. Assists per
game eight point three for Kitlin Clark, one point eight
for Angel Reese. It continues throughout the entire rest of
the scoring blocks per game she leads Caitlin Clark almost
double field goal percentage point four to one nine for Caitlin,
point three to eight six for Angel Reese, three points
point three to three seven for Kitlin Clark, point one
six seven for Angel Reese.
Speaker 3: Every statistic but.
Speaker 1: Rebounds Kitland Clark leads. But ESPN has decided that Angel
Rees needs to be Rookie of the Year. You remember
in the Olympics that a black woman had to give
a medal back. Do you remember this? No, isn't skating.
She had to give him metal back? Why because the
judges went and looked at the footage and said, no, no,
the white woman actually won the medal. Here, when a league,
in a society becomes obsessed with reparations, it's not just
going to be money. It's going to be achievements. It's
going to be things earned. And this should make sense.
After all, men can steal the trophies of women the
scholarships of women, the championships of women. Why would it
be any difference in race. The WNBA players for years
have argued that they are underpaid in comparison to men. Okay,
they also underproduced revenue at a very impressive amount in
comparison to men. But let me ask this question, why
are women in fashion paid so much more than men?
Why are male models paid so much less than female models? Because,
of course, the market for of female martyrs models is greater.
They sell more clothing, they sell more makeup. Most men
do not regard what male models wear as something.
Speaker 3: That they should follow.
Speaker 1: We're much more likely to look at a T shirt
one of our favorite athletes would wear if you're impressed
by anything like that. The WNBA should recognize this. Caitlin
Clarke has put the league on the map, and it's
drawn attention from people like me. I now look at
NBA highlights because Caitlyn's white. No, because I'm looking at
a level of play that I've not seen before in
the WNBA and looking at the satistics.
Speaker 3: Nor is anyone else.
Speaker 1: She is the record setter in terms of being the
rookie with the best performance in the history of this league.
Instead of promoting this and promoting her, ESPN is set
and obsessed with making sure a white woman does not
steal the metal of a black woman who actually doesn't
deserve it. Statistically speaking, it makes sense in an era
of reparations. And to ESPN understand this, you have already
kicked people like me out of watching football on your network.
I don't watch your network. I have no exposure to
your network. If you keep going this way, you're going
to win a whole bunch of treasures in heaven. Oh sorry,
I meant on earth. In the body of Christ, God
is very very clear he wants to view us equally,
and he does. In the body of Christ, neither Servant,
nor Drew Greek, nor Master God invented all the so
called races, including white women like Caitlyn Clark. God loves
Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark equally. Why can't ESPN Story
number three? Do you remember joy? Like the last time
you just felt a surprise load of joy? There's been
some occasions recently where I did. My wife gave me
a really really great birthday surprise. She'd never met some
of my CrossFit friends, so we went out to eat,
and I kind of.
Speaker 3: My wife was so furious that I knew.
Speaker 1: I kind of knew because my friend Ben is not
an effective liar, and he didn't lie. He doesn't lie.
He's a very honest man. But he said something about, oh,
your birthday is coming up. I said, yeah, yeah, it is, yeah,
and he's and I said, hey, you should come and
do a birthday work out with me. I't me get
ready for seal fit. And Ben's response sold it, I
got it. Oh wait, oh wait, wait, wait wait wait wait,
something to being set up here. Then my wife was
taking me to my favorite restaurant, Ember's on the Lake
and how's her Idaho? Go down there and try the
Herminator pizza or the Uncle Charlie pizza.
Speaker 3: Those things are well.
Speaker 1: The horminator is obviously named after me, Uncle Charlie, I
helped design Ember's on the Lake and howser Idaho. So
we go down there, and I know, we walk in
the door and one of the young ladies I know said, hey, how.
Speaker 3: Many tonight, Todd, And my wife steps and she goes four. No, wait, no,
pardon me, she said five. Five?
Speaker 1: Oh okay five Wait a minute, wait a minute, this
is somewhat of kids a kid. Oh wait, I knew
exactly it was gonna be as Ben and his wife
and his kid.
Speaker 3: I knew it. And my wife was so sad and
upset that I knew this.
Speaker 1: I said, no, this is great. I like to guess
these things. It didn't kill the surprise to me at all.
When I saw Ben's truck come around the corner. The
only thing I was sad about was that his little
boy didn't get to come. But we got to see
them the day before, and this is actually the day
before my birthday, and his son, Praise God, was born
on the same day as me. That was a surprise
amount of joy. Loved it. When was the last time
you had surprise joy delivered to you that way? I
can think of another time. It had to do with music.
There is a clip that's quote resurfaced. This is a
trick on YouTube. Resurface clip has to do with one
of my favorite artists being put into a position that
I remember what he did this, I remember talking about this.
But imagine being a live audience that does not know
a legend in music is behind a curtain. When you
walk in to this bar and sit down, I'll show
this to you in a second, and then I'll tell
you about the surprise joy that my friend Matthew and
I had that simply blew us out. I got this
note and it's not joyful, it's hopeful.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 1: We work with Alan Soaps at alansoaps dot com slash todd.
That's the soap company that employs young people who the
party would have rather seen aborted. Young Allan is thirteen.
He's been through about eighteen operations. He's nonverbal, but he
invents fragrances of soap from his memory important days. He's nonverbal,
he can communicate using a kind of iPad device from
time to time when he needs to, and he can
tell us about things he remembers, like, hey, remember when
Grandma cooked lunch or brunch and she gave us this
watermelon basil salad. He remembers this scent of that, or
another grandma with a honey with a cedarwood chest, and
the smells of that are very unique. So is the
mission to employ young people like Alan. Ian now works there.
His brother, a young woman who's not in the family,
works there. All these young people are equally impacted by
things like autism and down center.
Speaker 3: That's why Alan Soaps exists.
Speaker 1: The soap is high quality, it's made in America, all natural,
absolutely gentle. The family that makes it for John and Allan,
they have three generations of soap making expertise. But I
want to pause on that and just ask you to
pray for John.
Speaker 3: He changed his life.
Speaker 1: He redirected his life away from digital marketing to run
this company so his kids will have a place to
work the dignity of work. He's battling cancer. He's on
treatment number three of eight of chemo. So I simply
want to just take a pause. This is a guy
you've never met, and just ask you to pray for John.
Speaker 3: Would you do that? Please do that.
Speaker 1: This was a setup for a TV show. People are
invited in with a comedian filming a TV show, Hey
Free Beers. So they're in this bar and they're sitting
down and then people begin to go to a jukebox
on the wall and it's a really obvious jukebox. There's
nothing else there. So they approached the jukebox and they
start to select some songs. Interestingly, there was a limited
number of songs in the jukebox. Drink and Woman hits
the button on the jukebox.
Speaker 8: It sits down, curtains open, and he's there.
Speaker 7: There's Paul McCartney.
Speaker 3: He's there.
Speaker 8: He's learnally playing live with it's a band of a
howk your bass? These people are five feet from him.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at a woman in her sixties dancing like
she was when she was eighteen, and next to her.
Speaker 3: There's a young guy that looks like be in his twenties.
Speaker 1: The older ladies, white lady, Now listen here, listen, here
you have if you want to song, go to the
jubebom and put it on and free for the rest
of the night.
Speaker 2: Go.
Speaker 3: So people race over to the jumbark.
Speaker 7: This is a brilliant idea. I know that comedia has
a name.
Speaker 3: I can't remember his name again.
Speaker 1: It's McCarthy.
Speaker 3: Mom.
Speaker 7: Go.
Speaker 9: So people are figuring out outside that you can go
on and do this.
Speaker 7: Why this song? This is a trash beetle song. John
Lennon hated that song. By the way.
Speaker 1: John Lennon called that McCartney just writing crash that's here
we go.
Speaker 9: That sounds like it did on the record.
Speaker 1: So Paul McCartney has the capacity to bring joy to people.
Speaker 3: I really wish Paul was saved. He's not.
Speaker 1: Paul believes because his mother said some words over him
when he was young, that he has his gateway into heaven.
Speaker 3: He doesn't.
Speaker 1: It saddens me because Macca has meant a lot to
me his music.
Speaker 3: It's met a lot of joy, a lot of introspection.
And I'll tell you about a surprise. I'm going to joy.
Speaker 1: My friend Matthew and I had that was so cool.
It was the More Theater in Seattle, and we went
to go see a band that was on the rise,
a band called Crowded House. By my estimation, Neil Finn,
the chief songwriter of that band, is probably the most
gifted pop songwriter since Lennon McCartney. He works often now
with his brother Tim, who's not as equally gifted, but great,
great singing voice. Tim was in the Split Ends and
brought Neil Finn into that band.
Speaker 3: So we went to go see Crowded House.
Speaker 1: This is during the Temple of Lowman tour and the
big songs they had at the time were Don't Dream,
It's Over, into Temptation. It didn't go up the charts
like it should, a beautiful, beautiful song song called I
feel possessed and better be home soon. So we went
down to the More Theater and we're the straight you know,
non drinkers, non smokers, non druggers in the audience. And
we sit down and we're probably six rows back and
excited to be there. And the lights come up a
little bit and some dude walks on stage and it's like, okay,
who's this. This is not Crowded House. There is no
warm up act announced, but it's a guy with a guitar.
He walks up to the microphone and Matthew elbows me
because that's a Rickenbacker. That's a twelve string Ricky. Sure enough,
it was a twelve string Rickenbacker guitar electric. One guy
steps up to the microphone kind of strums it and says, Hi,
my name's Roger mcgwinn. I used to write a lot
of songs with a band called the Birds, and Crowded
House said I could come on stage and play some
for you, some for my new record. A legendary artist
who happens to be a quiet Christian was on stage.
Roger mcgwinn very quietly goes about the country sharing the
word of Christ. I truly wish he would be more
open about it, but maybe this is how God told
him to do it. Quietly, he lit up the rickey
and started to play some songs from the Birds my
back pages, you remember that one, And he played a
new song from his record called I'm Gonna Catch chat
Horse if I can. And it's supposedly about pursuing this beautiful,
beautiful race horse that he sees in the mountains, until
you realize that it's actually the pursuit of faith, actually
the pursuit of the living Lord Jesus. That becomes clear
to the lyrics. Then some guys came walking from off
stage and they're in street clothes. They're not in performance
closed crowded house dresses up when they player they used
to and off the stage. Are on the stage. These
guys walk and it's the house, crowded house, and they
stand behind Roger mcgwin. They play eight Miles High. I
want to be a rock and roll star, absolutely stunning,
stunning harmonies, rhythms a we are five rows from a
legendary rock star. Matthew and I built our connection based
upon music, and that connection is what led me to
becoming a believer in the Lord not just someone who
entertained the idea, but being a believer. It was music
that was that bridge. And I remember talking with him
late at night in his dad's home about why music
touches us, and he was the first one to ever
share with me that God designed us to be able
to receive joy like this. There's no evolutionary reason in
the world why you should enjoy a particularly beautiful song
or particularly beautiful harmonies. There's no reason in the world
that music hit. Music is also mathematically predictable in terms
of chord structure and music theory. That's not evolutionary. That's
like DNA. I believe God signs his work. I believe
he signs the heavens and their beautiful design. I believe
he signs DNA in its elegant code. And I believe
God signs his work in how a one, four or
five chord structure that you've heard over and over and
over again made me with a minor sixth why it
appeals so consistently through time. He gives certain people like
McCartney to be able to deliver to us emotions in music,
the chords of which can't exist without God because it's
his air. That carries them, and his signals that reach
our ears designed by him. There's no evolutionary.
Speaker 3: Reason for that.
Speaker 1: If you have this gift God's given you, how can
you use it to do what Matthew and I did
in that conversation where he brought me to the Lord,
which Roger mcgwinn does quietly going and letting people see
God's face through him as he goes around playing listen
to their music. To whom much.
Speaker 3: Is given, much is expected. He's good, been given musical talent.
Let's just expect it. If you don't, how you use that?
Speaker 1: This is the Todd Herman Show. Please go, be well,
be strong, be kind, and please make every effort to
walk in the light of Christ.
