1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,519 Speaker 1: We read an interesting piece of analysis about Syria and 2 00:00:04,919 --> 00:00:09,800 Bashad being gone, and that analysis began with how did 3 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,560 the people in organizations who are trying to take him 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,240 down over all this period of time, how did they 5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,600 suddenly become delta force? What broke the back? Now at 6 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,760 this point, remember, we have armed forces over there, are 7 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,480 men and women over there, and have been for three 8 00:00:22,559 --> 00:00:24,440 or four years. We're not supposed to talk about that 9 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,920 because it's an active war. But we just sent a 10 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,320 bunch of our military money, might etc. Think God, none 11 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,799 of our lives lost to destroy a whole bunch of 12 00:00:34,799 --> 00:00:39,280 aircraft and assets so that the regime that takes over 13 00:00:39,439 --> 00:00:43,880 doesn't have access to them. But figure out. Biden said 14 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:49,399 something then, and to me, this is a point of curiosity. 15 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,399 Everybody knows President Trump's coming in. Everybody watched him at 16 00:00:52,439 --> 00:00:55,880 the meeting with world leaders. Everybody watched the world leader's 17 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,799 genuflect to him. It's obvious they understand he's in charge. 18 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,920 So is there a reason that this happens now we'll 19 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,159 talk about that. Plus, yes, the title of the program, 20 00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:11,200 I got your doge hanging right here. That's the hanging 21 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,480 parts from my redneck youth, my apology. Such a rude 22 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,599 thing to say, I got your doge right here. So 23 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,439 there's a lot of ways that we could cut government 24 00:01:19,519 --> 00:01:22,519 to the Department of Government efficiency. We'll talk about that 25 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,599 and later on today. Some thoughts on John Lennon. This 26 00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:29,640 the anniversary day after his death, and it's a thought 27 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,319 that I have. We'll get into the show later. Not 28 00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:34,120 this show, but the next one we publish. That tend 29 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,359 to upset some John Lennon fans, so just let her 30 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,480 but know I'm a John Lennon fan too. We'll talk 31 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,159 about this all with the help of a YouTube channel 32 00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:42,239 on YouTube dot com slash at the Todd Herman Show 33 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,280 and with God Almighty. 34 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,519 Speaker 2: But Todd Herman Show is one hundred percent disapproved by 35 00:01:48,599 --> 00:01:56,640 big pharma, technocrarats and tyrants everywhere from the high mountains 36 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:04,040 of Free America. Here's the end old city exime. God 37 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:04,760 to her Man. 38 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,319 Speaker 1: Today is a day the Lord has made in These 39 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,879 are the times to which God has decided we shall live. 40 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,319 So the Dictator of Syria is gone. Meet the new boss, 41 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,360 probably same as the old boss, but the figurehead Biden 42 00:02:20,479 --> 00:02:22,800 has announced that he's got Bill into Bucks ready for 43 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,599 the new regime. Doesn't yet know who they're going to be, 44 00:02:26,599 --> 00:02:29,800 but he's ready with money. So why do you think 45 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,360 a move like this gets made. I would suggest that 46 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,719 there's a whole bunch of lobbyists in the Pentagon. And yes, 47 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,360 lobbyist are in the Pentagon. I know the halls of 48 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,120 Congress going there and saying, look, we have one chance 49 00:02:45,199 --> 00:02:47,360 to do this in Syria, to back these guys, to 50 00:02:47,439 --> 00:02:50,439 get a shahbasr out, to get rid of the dictator. 51 00:02:50,479 --> 00:02:53,120 There one chance. So this is not my analysis, this 52 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,599 is analysis of a mill blog. I fall We'll try 53 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,599 to get our friend Michael roorkon I'm tired Special Forces operative, 54 00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:01,360 see what he thinks of all this. But you got 55 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,039 this one chance because Trump's coming in on a promise 56 00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:06,960 of none of these endless wars. You know, they tried 57 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,680 to lock Trump into Ukraine spending. There are Republican senators 58 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,319 who say they will not back any nominee for any 59 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,240 cabinet position in Trump's cabinet if they're not all in 60 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,360 on Ukraine. So you have a lot of lobbyists who 61 00:03:20,439 --> 00:03:26,319 understand that the massive, massive bravy train may be ending, 62 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,080 and under President Trump, he's not going to be seeking 63 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,360 new wars. And it's not that he's weak. It's not 64 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,560 a particularly strong thing for the United States. And we're 65 00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:40,599 doing this through the beleaguered and corrupt Secretary of State 66 00:03:40,639 --> 00:03:43,400 Tony Blinken. Tony Blinken is saying the way for the 67 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,479 Ukrainians to win this war is to go get to 68 00:03:47,919 --> 00:03:52,439 Ukrainian youth and force them into service, to grab them 69 00:03:52,439 --> 00:03:53,919 out of their homes and off the streets and force 70 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,199 them into the military. That's the way to win. So expands, 71 00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:01,639 you're dead from six hundred thousand adults, maybe he could 72 00:04:01,719 --> 00:04:06,560 kill six hundred than teens. That's not strong. Sometimes the 73 00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:09,919 strong thing is you recognize that war is lost for Ukraine. 74 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,560 It was lost before it began, just given the numbers. 75 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,519 So that's not a strong position for the Democrats or 76 00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:20,120 Mitch McConnell or the others who love this war. It's 77 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,160 a cash machine. It's not a war of necessity. And 78 00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:27,959 I don't believe the war in Syria was a war 79 00:04:27,959 --> 00:04:31,360 of necessity for US. Hey, if Iraq wasn't a war 80 00:04:31,399 --> 00:04:35,480 of necessity, and going into Afghanistan beyond taking out Osama 81 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,480 bin Laden was not a necessity, how on earth is 82 00:04:38,519 --> 00:04:43,040 this a necessity? We those of us who support President Trump, 83 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,600 even if there are people who were supporting reluctantly. We 84 00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:49,399 should be hoping that President Trump focuses our military and 85 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,839 being able to defend us and to project force when 86 00:04:51,879 --> 00:04:57,000 it's absolutely necessary, and in doing that by reserving our forces, 87 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,000 by not being in the All and Wars, by modernized 88 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,720 our military to understand you can't shoot down drones. You 89 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,160 can try as hard as you want, but we're finding 90 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,279 out it's nearly impossible to shoot down drones fields of drones. 91 00:05:07,319 --> 00:05:10,439 They can take out our ships. We need to be 92 00:05:10,439 --> 00:05:13,600 focused on getting our act together in terms of technology 93 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,600 for today, and this is something that Pete Hegseth wants 94 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,920 to do, which brings us around to him. So the 95 00:05:18,959 --> 00:05:21,959 attacks on him continue. They're trying to take the guy out. 96 00:05:22,079 --> 00:05:24,079 And it's not because he's a stupid man. You don't 97 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,920 end up with two Ivy League degrees and be stupid. 98 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,639 And even though the Ivy League is fallen, you still 99 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,480 have to be sort of a smart guy to come 100 00:05:31,519 --> 00:05:35,519 out with that. It's because heg Seth is not going 101 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,079 to be owned by lobbyists, and the lobbyists know that. 102 00:05:38,079 --> 00:05:40,480 That's why I think we saw this sudden explosion and 103 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,079 activity in Syria where all of a sudden they had 104 00:05:43,079 --> 00:05:45,639 all the capabilities and everything they needed to just completely 105 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,879 close off the dictator's air supply and he fled. So 106 00:05:49,959 --> 00:05:51,680 watch Biden come up and say he's going to back 107 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,439 them with the billions of our dollars. Well, it says 108 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,720 everything possible about Joe Biden, who doesn't just lack any wisdom, 109 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,439 he lacks any fear of the Lord at all. Now 110 00:06:02,879 --> 00:06:05,720 number of people are send me emails asking about the 111 00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:08,360 product Wisdom. This is the Bible based herbal blend that 112 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,399 I've been taking. And they sent me a note saying, wait, wait, 113 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,399 what's the website? So apparently the website is hard to 114 00:06:14,439 --> 00:06:18,279 remember something to say this, it's try wisdomnow dot com 115 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,519 slash todd. So what is this stuff? Well, it's based 116 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:26,279 in an oil base and it's sacred herbs and spices 117 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,439 that come out of the Bible. I mean that the 118 00:06:28,439 --> 00:06:30,199 spices themselves don't come out of the Bible, but they're 119 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,199 mentioned so often in the Bible as ways to cleanse 120 00:06:33,319 --> 00:06:36,399 and to heal. So what does it do well? It 121 00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:40,879 helps with inflation, inflammation response, it helps with immune response, 122 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,439 and for me, it delivers a sense of calm, and 123 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,680 it's crazy that it tastes as good as it does. 124 00:06:46,759 --> 00:06:48,839 We're playing scrabble the other night, and by the way, 125 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,680 I won. My wife is a very very good scrabble player. 126 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,560 I want to buy about four points and praise God, 127 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,120 I got to be able to use all my pieces 128 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,199 so I could shut her out. Otherwise I guarantee she 129 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,399 would have found a way to come back. So as 130 00:07:00,399 --> 00:07:03,480 the game was wrapping up, I took wisdom and just 131 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,839 got this incredible sense of calm. And the doctor who 132 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,120 invented this was in the Holy Land when he was 133 00:07:08,439 --> 00:07:11,680 given the vision for this. His name is doctor Patrick 134 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,439 shen Tempo. So he took his advanced knowledge of science 135 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,360 to infuse this with light and sound waves, all of 136 00:07:18,399 --> 00:07:21,800 it to trap the potency of these herbs in this 137 00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:25,000 oil base. So you can do this. Try this yourself. 138 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,160 So try your yourself experience the power of wisdom. Go 139 00:07:28,199 --> 00:07:31,959 to try wisdomnow dot com slash todd and here's the payoff. 140 00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:34,959 You're going to get an incredible thirty three percent off 141 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,079 plus free shipping. That's each order comes to the one 142 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,360 hundred and eighty day money back guarantee it's that's try 143 00:07:41,399 --> 00:07:44,240 wisdom now dot com slash todd and do what I do. 144 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,040 Take a drop of this towards bedtime of throughout the day. 145 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,600 If you electromank Calm have that great immunersons, try wisdom 146 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:54,360 now dot com slash todd. In terms of the Department 147 00:07:54,439 --> 00:07:57,120 of Government Efficiency, we can start right away with the 148 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,800 Pentagon and an audit of the Pentagon that is pass 149 00:08:00,839 --> 00:08:05,000 fail because they failed every single one of them, so 150 00:08:05,279 --> 00:08:06,759 and we don't get to audit the Federal Reserve. But 151 00:08:06,839 --> 00:08:09,800 let's start with the Pentagon. Do we really need all 152 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,879 that money? We'd like to think that the Pentagon is 153 00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:14,360 playing on the up and up, but when you lose 154 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,360 six hundred million dollars, you're not. That's one thing the 155 00:08:17,399 --> 00:08:20,519 Department of Government Efficiency could do. The biggest thing it 156 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,079 could do is put on notice to Republicans that we 157 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,240 are on to the fact that they're the big spenders, 158 00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:30,399 just along with the Democrats. Chip Roy from Texas was 159 00:08:30,519 --> 00:08:34,559 in a meeting with Elon Musk and Vivid Ramaswami and 160 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,240 they talked about the Department of Government Efficiency and apparently 161 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,120 Vivic has been studying the laws. He's been studying the 162 00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:46,639 bureaucratic approaches, the things they can do to force spending cuts. 163 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,840 So he's trying to become an anti bureaucrats. To the bureaucrats, 164 00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:54,639 because they hide behind their ability to not be fired, 165 00:08:54,879 --> 00:09:00,559 you can't downsize us. So apparently during this meeting, Republicans 166 00:09:00,639 --> 00:09:03,519 were clapping their hands and jumping up and down. We 167 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,720 can't wait to get behind you on this. We've been 168 00:09:05,759 --> 00:09:08,679 waiting for this. We can't wait to cut the freight 169 00:09:08,799 --> 00:09:12,799 of the fraud, wasted abuse. And apparently behind the scenes, 170 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,440 chip Roy spoke up and said, you're all liars. You're 171 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,320 saying this right now, but I guarantee you when it 172 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,879 comes down the money for your district, that's not going 173 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,240 to happen. None of you are going to do this. 174 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,320 Mary Hemingway's reporting this. She knows something about the beltways. 175 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,639 There's great sources there that chip Roy want ballistic on them. 176 00:09:32,759 --> 00:09:35,480 Tell the truth to people you're not in favor of this. 177 00:09:36,919 --> 00:09:40,960 Chip Roy also talked about the lack of respect that 178 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,840 the president's nominees are getting here as we deal. 179 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 3: With all that, and on the spending issue, I watch 180 00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:53,559 the Senate Republicans doing this dance of handwringing and concern 181 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:59,919 about the president's nominees. The president was elected by the 182 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,600 American people to change this town. He has nominated people 183 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,440 who want to change this town. If you want to 184 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:11,279 go overturn every rock of everybody's past and then say 185 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:16,559 that they are not capable or they don't deserve to 186 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,759 serve in a position like Secretary of Defense as it's 187 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:26,200 currently occurring with the targeted attacks on Pete Hegsath, well, 188 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:32,120 maybe you should take the board out of your eye. 189 00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:35,440 I'm not saying that we don't have standards that are 190 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,799 appropriate in the advice and consent process. We do, and 191 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,840 we should. I'm a believer in that in separation of powers. 192 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:47,120 But the president also is deserving of the courtesy and 193 00:10:47,159 --> 00:10:50,759 the respect of his own party, in particular of the 194 00:10:50,799 --> 00:10:55,559 individuals he's nominating to change the town. He was elected 195 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:56,240 to change it. 196 00:10:57,159 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: What are the things the Department of Government Efficiency could do? 197 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:07,440 Start a pork reporting process for Republican senators. Let Republicans 198 00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:11,879 report it to republicans, publish it, read it into the 199 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,919 House record, Get people like Chip Roy to read into 200 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,279 the record what his colleagues are doing. Part of the 201 00:11:20,279 --> 00:11:22,639 Department of Government Efficiency is not just going in and 202 00:11:22,639 --> 00:11:25,440 cutting the bureaucracy. It's cutting the head off the bureaucracy 203 00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:28,200 because what the officeholders have done is really really brilliant. 204 00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:31,360 They get to blame the bureaucrats. Look with the bureaucratic waste, 205 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,360 fraud abuse, Look what they're doing. Anytime they choose to, 206 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,399 they can take their power back. Anytime they choose too. 207 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,399 They can say, yeah, you know what, no more, you 208 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,919 no longer get to make administrative rules as if their law. 209 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,039 We have to approve them. Because right now they make 210 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:46,559 these rules, and I think it's one hundred and day 211 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,399 days after that. If the House and the Senate don't object, 212 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,480 then those things become law with the force of law. 213 00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:55,120 They can stop that. They don't want to because they're 214 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,960 like being able to dance this way. So the doge 215 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,240 people musk and remiswamp. They should publish a list of 216 00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:06,360 the worst defenders on the Republican side. Sure do the Democrats, 217 00:12:06,759 --> 00:12:11,240 but you're going to get more more progress by spotlighting 218 00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:16,519 Republicans who are doing this. There's also then the bureaucratic shaming. 219 00:12:17,879 --> 00:12:21,679 There needs to be a process by which bureaucrats come 220 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:26,960 and beg for any money Now this is a term 221 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,279 that's using businesses called zero line budgeting or baseline budgeting. 222 00:12:31,919 --> 00:12:37,200 Your budget, FEMA is zero. You have no money. You 223 00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:39,679 need to come in and make an argument for dollar 224 00:12:39,919 --> 00:12:44,480 number one. Now here's how they say, this isn't possible. 225 00:12:44,759 --> 00:12:46,559 You can't run us down to zero. We can't then 226 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:51,039 predict our planning, et cetera. Okay, that sucks. That's going 227 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,759 to be really hard. I mean, surely you can make 228 00:12:53,799 --> 00:12:57,519 an argument for fifty percent of your budget. If they 229 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,159 can't do that, then they don't deserve to exist. So 230 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,840 go to a zero line baseline budgeting. Every budget cycle 231 00:13:03,879 --> 00:13:06,120 begins with an assumption of zero. Give them two years 232 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,759 to plant. Two years into President Trump's four years, your 233 00:13:10,799 --> 00:13:14,759 budget guides go to zero. You have two years to 234 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,720 prove you're focused on the American people. Because two years 235 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,000 from now you're going to come into Congress. You're going 236 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,000 to be able to come in six months early. Your 237 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,960 budget will be zero. You'll be making an argument for 238 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:35,519 any budget, and your argument must begin with here's our mission. 239 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,200 Lay out the mission. I'll give you a great example 240 00:13:40,919 --> 00:13:43,679 of why things like this are so important with something 241 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,360 that happened out of North Carolina, and it goes down 242 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:52,639 to bureaucrats need to bureaucrats, Bosses need to boss. I'll 243 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,440 tell you that the corruption in this stinks to such 244 00:13:55,519 --> 00:13:58,360 a high degree that you know it's costing lives. And 245 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,840 in this case, it just cost a woman two hundred bucks, 246 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,799 but it's costing lives. I can't yet get into detail, 247 00:14:04,799 --> 00:14:06,360 but I'm going to give you a glimpse of one 248 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,559 of the reasons why I love working with the people 249 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,000 at Renewed Healthcare in Mexico, because it has to do 250 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:16,240 with corruption. Some longtime listeners to my radio show, they 251 00:14:16,279 --> 00:14:18,360 started with me in Seattle back when I was doing 252 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:23,240 local radio, extended over into the podcast Praise God. They 253 00:14:23,279 --> 00:14:25,600 decided to go down to Mexico, and I'm going to 254 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,919 get the details on this for you. So they went down, 255 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,279 were impressed with the care. They had this abatement of 256 00:14:30,279 --> 00:14:33,399 their pain, which is expected when you use ethically gathered 257 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,279 stem sales from umbilical cords and placentas. And I don't 258 00:14:36,279 --> 00:14:37,559 have the details yet on what they were there to 259 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,000 get done, and they may not want to share that, 260 00:14:40,159 --> 00:14:43,480 but I can tell you this. During the process of 261 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:48,240 looking at them, they discovered that the lady had a 262 00:14:48,279 --> 00:14:54,320 heart condition that was going to be deadly. They discovered 263 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,840 this through the process of caring for her in the 264 00:14:57,879 --> 00:15:01,799 stem cell approach, and they suggested, in fact, told her, 265 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,679 you need to have surgery right now. You need stints 266 00:15:05,879 --> 00:15:09,919 inserted in your body. She did it the same day. 267 00:15:10,159 --> 00:15:13,240 See renew is right next door to a world class hospital. 268 00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:16,320 They've got a peering relationship. They share a cat scam machine, 269 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,320 which is probably how they found this in this lady. 270 00:15:19,039 --> 00:15:21,039 She was able to get those stints installed and be 271 00:15:21,039 --> 00:15:23,440 home the next day. She didn't go there for that. 272 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:28,080 That's not their business, but their business is caring for people. 273 00:15:29,159 --> 00:15:31,360 I have a friend of mine who's a professional athlete 274 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,080 for most of his life, and he's trying to get 275 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,559 down there to get an infusion. This is so high end, 276 00:15:36,759 --> 00:15:39,120 it's so unaffordable for most people. But if you have 277 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,679 the resources, an infusion of stem cells puts the stem 278 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,759 cells in your body. They go destroy inflammation. Then they 279 00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:49,679 travel throughout your body anywhere they can help rebuild tissue, 280 00:15:49,679 --> 00:15:53,399 be it cartilage, be it tendon, be it muscle. They'll 281 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,919 do that starting with the spots where they're needed most. 282 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,879 That's what the stem cells do. They build human tissue. 283 00:15:59,759 --> 00:16:01,360 Check these guys out see if they can help you. 284 00:16:01,399 --> 00:16:03,679 They'll tell you if they can or can't. It's renewed 285 00:16:03,679 --> 00:16:07,519 dot Healthcare r E n UE dot Healthcare r E 286 00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:12,600 n ue dot Healthcare. They didn't have to do that. 287 00:16:12,679 --> 00:16:14,720 In fact, in America, they probably wouldn't have done that 288 00:16:14,759 --> 00:16:17,720 because of liability. They did it because they wanted to help. 289 00:16:18,679 --> 00:16:20,840 I know there's people at FEMA, employees at FEMA who 290 00:16:20,879 --> 00:16:23,240 want to help. We know this. People don't go into 291 00:16:23,279 --> 00:16:26,600 the government necessarily to go rule over others. People stay 292 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,440 in government because they like the feeling of ruling over others, 293 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,120 or they like the feeling of being able to work 294 00:16:31,159 --> 00:16:33,080 from home and have no accountability or just take three 295 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,759 weeks off. They like this security. Plus they like the 296 00:16:35,799 --> 00:16:38,120 fact that they're paid two to three times the amount 297 00:16:38,159 --> 00:16:40,399 of money that the people who pay the bills are paid. 298 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,320 This is from FEMA. It's from North Carolina. It's a woman. 299 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:49,720 All she needed was a window on her home, listen 300 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:50,519 and watch. 301 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,399 Speaker 4: She had was a crack in her window. So she thought, 302 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,600 since FEMA is helping out people write damage from Helleen 303 00:16:56,759 --> 00:16:59,720 in Mecklmer County, maybe she could tap into some funds 304 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,919 from that agency. FEMA said no, but FEMA did offer 305 00:17:04,039 --> 00:17:07,920 to put her and forty others in a hotel, including 306 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,319 the South Park Marriott. 307 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,559 Speaker 1: For up to a month. 308 00:17:13,519 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 5: This little crack from Helene led to a situation that 309 00:17:16,799 --> 00:17:20,799 has seventy four year old Susan Lewis cracking up in disbelief. 310 00:17:21,279 --> 00:17:24,759 I kept rereading it thinking what am I missing here? 311 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,960 Just makes no sense. The damaged window was in her 312 00:17:29,079 --> 00:17:33,599 Force Ridge condo. Since FEMA is offering Mecklnberg County residents 313 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,400 Helena assistance, she applied for funding to fix it. She 314 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,839 says FEMA denied the claim and told her to submit 315 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,680 it to her home insurance. She ended up having to 316 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,440 pay two hundred dollars for the repair out of her 317 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,759 own pocket because she has one thousand dollars deductible. I'm 318 00:17:48,799 --> 00:17:53,039 living in Social Security. I'm Sidney four, your woman, and 319 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,599 you know all these eleg strips bitches really ad ups. 320 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,920 While FEMA wouldn't fix the window, she says, the agent's 321 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,880 offer her something else, a month's stay for up to 322 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,480 four people one a hotel. One of the hotels is 323 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,720 the South Park Marriott. The average rate is nearly two 324 00:18:10,839 --> 00:18:14,039 hundred dollars a night. The hotel even told her she 325 00:18:14,079 --> 00:18:16,640 could get two RUMs if she needed space for four. 326 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,640 Instead of paying two hundred bucks for the window, she says, 327 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,359 FEMA offered to spend thousand on an hotel. 328 00:18:23,519 --> 00:18:29,079 Speaker 1: She didn't need it. It makes no sense. Now, remember 329 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,759 there's still people in western North Carolina who are living 330 00:18:31,799 --> 00:18:36,720 in tents. And remember that when the Amish built tiny 331 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,519 houses for them and had them shipped down, there were 332 00:18:40,519 --> 00:18:43,960 local bureaucrats who blocked the tiny houses and took them 333 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,680 away and said go back under the overpasses and go 334 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,160 live in tents. Well, FEMA is saying, we won't fix 335 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,400 a window, but she can have a hotel room. The 336 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,839 Department of Government Efficiency needs to work with Congress to 337 00:18:56,279 --> 00:18:59,720 shame Republicans for their pork barrel spending. It's a shame 338 00:18:59,759 --> 00:19:03,640 decratspcially going to get more traction. Shamey Republicans. They need 339 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,640 to make an argument for baseline budgeting beginning in two years. 340 00:19:08,279 --> 00:19:11,440 Give every agency a head up. Heads up. In two years, 341 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,519 your budgets go to zero. Now, if you make a 342 00:19:15,519 --> 00:19:19,119 good argument for needing any money, the budgets will come back. 343 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,920 But you're not going to be making a good argument 344 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:26,000 when we can point to things like this. You can say, hey, 345 00:19:26,039 --> 00:19:28,799 it's a crack, we don't want female repairing cracks and ones. 346 00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:35,160 Fair enough, have that discussion, but don't have a continuing 347 00:19:35,519 --> 00:19:39,400 resolution that continues to increase the amount of money, because 348 00:19:39,519 --> 00:19:44,319 every federal agency can count on money continuing to go up. 349 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,920 Let me give you another example. A lot of schools, 350 00:19:48,519 --> 00:19:53,319 the education of American kids is at a low points 351 00:19:53,319 --> 00:19:55,440 compared to the rest of the world. I mean, there's 352 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,519 a lot of reasons for this. You know that the 353 00:19:57,559 --> 00:20:00,519 government schools are and doctor ending kids are not edguingating them. 354 00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:02,240 You know that the government schools are all in on 355 00:20:02,319 --> 00:20:06,440 DIEDI and on racism and on gender madness. It's not 356 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,640 about educating the kids in all too many government schools. 357 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,160 I mean, there's some decent ones. I've got some friends 358 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,440 of mine whose kids go to schools in Idaho and 359 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,440 their government schools, and they really like those schools. But 360 00:20:16,559 --> 00:20:20,079 in those schools, parents are welcomed every day, every single day, 361 00:20:20,079 --> 00:20:22,640 there's a parent there, and if any sort of gender 362 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,039 madness slips out, the parents who are there call them 363 00:20:25,039 --> 00:20:27,920 on it immediately. There are other schools in Idaho that 364 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,319 are not that way. Where the gender madness has slept 365 00:20:30,319 --> 00:20:33,200 into the hallways or crept into the hallways. So the 366 00:20:33,279 --> 00:20:38,960 schools overall government like have seen the effectiveness of government 367 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,079 schools decrease, particularly in comparison to the goal, but something 368 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,920 is increasing from the video service. I'm going to show 369 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,400 you a chart here in a second that is going 370 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,519 to make the case for not something else that the 371 00:20:52,519 --> 00:20:56,160 Department of Government Efficiencies should do, starting with the Department 372 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,400 of Education. And in their case, it's not baseline budgeting, 373 00:21:00,079 --> 00:21:03,640 it's not zero line budgeting. It's something else. It's something 374 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,160 that some people would see is more radical, except it's 375 00:21:06,279 --> 00:21:11,720 completely defensible, utterly defensible, and people should calm down about it. 376 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,720 Getting into the holiday season, a lot of people end 377 00:21:14,839 --> 00:21:18,839 up getting very very uncom or even stressed or anxious. 378 00:21:19,319 --> 00:21:21,680 It doesn't need to be the case. I've talked with 379 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,599 you about magnesium breakthrough and its ability to help people sleep. 380 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,319 That's true with me. It helps me sleep through the 381 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,640 night if I do wake up and go back to sleep. 382 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:33,319 It also helps with the ultimate absorption of nutrients in 383 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,759 your body, that is regularity. That's a phrase you don't 384 00:21:35,799 --> 00:21:37,640 like to talk about because it's icky, but it's also 385 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,240 something we all do. It also, though, controls the stress 386 00:21:41,279 --> 00:21:45,160 hormone cortisol, So if you're running around last minute chritsiskifts, 387 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,359 you're going to arrive on time, or too many people 388 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,720 come into the house. You might have relatives coming over 389 00:21:49,799 --> 00:21:52,000 that you don't really like what you love, and you 390 00:21:52,079 --> 00:21:53,559 know that can create a lot of stress. Maybe you've 391 00:21:53,599 --> 00:21:55,599 got a room that fits our house, that fits four people, 392 00:21:55,599 --> 00:21:58,640 but fourteen or coming. There's a whole series of stresses 393 00:21:58,759 --> 00:22:00,480 or suck under friend of mine the other day, he 394 00:22:00,519 --> 00:22:02,279 and his wife are argued about where they're going for 395 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,480 Christmas because he made the reservations in Hawaii, she made 396 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,920 the reservations elsewhere, and they might end up having Christma 397 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,160 Christopher part for the first time. There's also the situation 398 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,119 I heard of from her friend of mine whose wife 399 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,160 does not want the ex wife bringing the kids over. 400 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,079 She wants the kids brought over by an uber, anything 401 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,519 but the ex wife. He's saying, no, I'm not putting 402 00:22:20,519 --> 00:22:22,839 my kids in an uber. My ex wife is welcome 403 00:22:22,839 --> 00:22:24,640 to walk into the house and drop the kids off. 404 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,799 I was married to her for fourteen years. His current 405 00:22:26,799 --> 00:22:29,039 wife is saying, hey, you want wife number three? This 406 00:22:29,079 --> 00:22:33,599 can create a whole series of stresses. Obviously we find 407 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,880 calm ultimately in the arms of God. But then again 408 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,759 God made magnesium for things like this.

Since the year two thousand, there's 415 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,880 been some steady growth rate with the exception of twenty 416 00:23:06,039 --> 00:23:11,240 nineteen for kids in government schools. This chart shows administrative staff, 417 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:18,559 principles and assistant principles, teachers, and students their growth rate. 418 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,559 So since the year two thousands, we were watching about 419 00:23:23,559 --> 00:23:28,200 a ten percent growth rate for teachers and students. But 420 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,839 then the students dropped off and have stayed dropped off 421 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,519 about a five percent drop. The teachers have kept growing. 422 00:23:36,799 --> 00:23:45,200 The principles and assistant principles grew by thirty nine percent. Remember, 423 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:51,039 students have dropped, but the assistants have grown by thirty 424 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:58,160 nine percent. The administrative staff has grown by ninety five percent. 425 00:24:00,079 --> 00:24:04,000 Teachers were almost flatlined or ten percent growth, and students 426 00:24:04,079 --> 00:24:08,680 went down. This is an argument for an elimination of 427 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,720 the Department of Education. The Department of Education is many 428 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,559 many things. Part of it is it's the center foreign doctrination. 429 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,839 Part of it is it's the center for union growth. 430 00:24:19,799 --> 00:24:24,599 Those administrative staff are probably union members who, as you know, 431 00:24:24,759 --> 00:24:27,240 take that money. The unions do take a percentage of 432 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,440 everybody's paycheck pool. It pay themselves three to four times 433 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,039 the amount of money teachers get paid, give themselves pensions, 434 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,079 retirement plans that most of us will never see, and 435 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,000 then they turn around and they launder a bunch of 436 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,039 it to the Democrat Party. There is no reason on 437 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,440 earth for a Department of Education in Washington, d C. 438 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,160 Here's why every state has one. There are local school 439 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:56,000 districts who have their administrators. There's city school districts, there's 440 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,359 city level departments of education. There is no reason for 441 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,160 this to come out of Washington, d C. If a 442 00:25:02,279 --> 00:25:07,200 student's civil rights are violated, there's the Department of Justice. 443 00:25:08,079 --> 00:25:10,400 If the people in the schools are serving bad food 444 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,960 that are making kids sick, there's the Department of agriculture 445 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,279 if they're not hiring people because of their race or religion. 446 00:25:18,319 --> 00:25:21,240 Once again, you have the Department of Justice. You don't 447 00:25:21,279 --> 00:25:24,839 need a curriculum developed in Washington, DC. Because people are different. 448 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,160 There's things so people who live in the farmlands need 449 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,359 to know that people in the cities don't need to know. 450 00:25:31,839 --> 00:25:34,240 The elimination of the Department of Education is a no 451 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,359 brainer for the Department of Government efficiency because every single 452 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:43,200 job is duplicated throughout all of the various school districts. 453 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,960 In fact, I'll tell you one point of ridiculousness. Washington 454 00:25:47,039 --> 00:25:49,759 State is one of many states who employ people to 455 00:25:49,839 --> 00:25:53,000 go to meetings. This is their job. They work in 456 00:25:53,039 --> 00:25:56,839 a school district. When there's a meeting in the state capital. 457 00:25:57,079 --> 00:26:00,839 In this case in Washington it's Olympia, that person flies 458 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,920 or drives to Olympia. They attend the meeting, then they 459 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,000 fly or drive back to their school district, and they 460 00:26:08,039 --> 00:26:12,319 tell the principle what happened in the meeting, a meeting 461 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,400 the principle could have attended, or a meeting the principle 462 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:21,480 could have zoomed into. Those meeting goers now have staff, 463 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,440 I mean they can't go around scheduling their own trips 464 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,240 to the state capital. This is a self mistasizing cancer. 465 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,759 The Department of Education should be eliminated, and it's an easy, 466 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,640 easy argument to make. One other thing that should be eliminated, 467 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,400 of course, is any form of public broadcasting, at least 468 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,880 the moneys for public broadcasting. This is PBS promoting what's 469 00:26:44,079 --> 00:26:50,440 I think fair to call a pro in excuse that word, 470 00:26:50,799 --> 00:26:52,440 I'll say it, but Alex will make sure that the 471 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,160 people on YouTube never get to hear this. Only the 472 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,039 people doing this live or on the audio cast get 473 00:26:57,079 --> 00:27:01,599 to hear me say a pro pedophilia pioneer, that's true. 474 00:27:02,039 --> 00:27:04,680 The backing of a law that would make life easier 475 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,079 for pedophiles. This is PBS. 476 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 6: The issue of transgender rights has rarely been so prominent 477 00:27:11,279 --> 00:27:14,720 in American politics, from presidential campaign ads to the election 478 00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:18,000 of the first openly trans member of Congress to arguments 479 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,759 this past week at the US Supreme Court. William Brangham 480 00:27:20,799 --> 00:27:23,559 is back to talk with one recent pioneer about how 481 00:27:23,599 --> 00:27:25,000 she sees this current moment. 482 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,279 Speaker 1: And by see she he means he. 483 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,039 Speaker 7: My guest is no stranger to both the triumphs and 484 00:27:31,079 --> 00:27:35,400 the vitriol surrounding transgender rights in America. Two years ago, 485 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,240 Lee Thinking became the first transperson elected to the Minnesota 486 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:40,119 state legislatures. 487 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: To be clear, again, they're talking about a man. 488 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,079 Speaker 7: And even though she endured numerous threats, she leveraged her 489 00:27:46,079 --> 00:27:50,720 position and a Democratic majority to help pass legislation protecting 490 00:27:50,759 --> 00:27:52,920 other trans people in her state. 491 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,519 Speaker 1: So called trans people like you're about to hear. 492 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 2: Lee. 493 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 7: Think he's so nice to have you on the program. 494 00:27:59,079 --> 00:28:01,400 As I said, you've been in office almost two years now. 495 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,319 But this is a seemingly very fraught time for trans 496 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,240 rights in this country, with this past election and all 497 00:28:08,279 --> 00:28:11,279 of those attacks, the first openly trans member of the 498 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,000 US Congress, and now the Supreme Court case this week. 499 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,559 Speaker 1: I just wonder how this is. How has this been 500 00:28:17,599 --> 00:28:19,039 for you the last few months. 501 00:28:19,599 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's been a lot, and you know, thank you 502 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,960 so much for inviting me in for having trans voices 503 00:28:24,079 --> 00:28:27,960 on your show. I think what we have seen over 504 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,720 the last couple of months, I mean it is a 505 00:28:29,759 --> 00:28:34,440 compounding pile of difficulty for our community that is very 506 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,599 small that we receive so much outside attention. 507 00:28:38,079 --> 00:28:40,559 Speaker 1: Well, it's the most powerful community in America as well. 508 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,680 I mean it's small and it's the most powerful community 509 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,279 in America, the only community in America that can get 510 00:28:45,319 --> 00:28:47,519 you fired for refusing to pretend along with them. 511 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,599 Speaker 8: Given the impact and size that we have in the 512 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,480 communities that we exist in, we're struggling. We're all struggling, 513 00:28:54,559 --> 00:28:58,599 and no, there's no struggle trying to figure out what 514 00:28:58,720 --> 00:28:59,759 all of this is going to mean. 515 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,599 Speaker 7: You were here while the Supreme Court was arguing this case. 516 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,160 That case centered around Tennessee's attempt to ban trans care 517 00:29:08,279 --> 00:29:10,279 for trans children. 518 00:29:10,599 --> 00:29:15,599 Speaker 1: That Tennessee law focused on preventing children from having irreversible 519 00:29:15,839 --> 00:29:17,480 wrong sex hormones and surgery. 520 00:29:17,799 --> 00:29:21,799 Speaker 7: And the justices had a lot of different arguments about 521 00:29:21,839 --> 00:29:24,559 that case, and I wonder, listening to what they had 522 00:29:24,559 --> 00:29:26,000 to say, what stood out to you? 523 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 8: I mean, what stood out to me is that we 524 00:29:29,039 --> 00:29:33,000 are trying to figure out a very complicated answer to 525 00:29:33,079 --> 00:29:36,359 a very simple question, which is that gender affirming care 526 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:41,039 is healthcare, and healthcare decisions belong to families. 527 00:29:40,559 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: And platitudes platitudes. Cutting a gash between a boy's leg 528 00:29:46,279 --> 00:29:48,920 is healthcare. It's a wound that will never heal, that's healthcare. 529 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,759 Cutting a girl's breasts off so she can never breastfeed 530 00:29:52,799 --> 00:29:58,359 a baby is healthcare. So why was that person called 531 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,880 a pro how to fill a pioneer Well, NewsBusters reminds 532 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,799 us that Lee Finkey, that man pretending to be a woman, 533 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:14,519 backed an act in Congress that would strip language from 534 00:30:14,519 --> 00:30:18,319 this law and therefore make it easier for people who 535 00:30:18,359 --> 00:30:20,920 want to inflict their sexual desires in the bodies of children. 536 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,640 This is the language they wanted included. Sexual orientation does 537 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,200 not include a physical or sexual attachment to children by 538 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,079 an adult. This is part of the so called Take 539 00:30:32,119 --> 00:30:39,559 Pride Act. It's setting the groundwork, or making a heterophilic 540 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:45,759 view a sexual orientation that's being promoted by that person's 541 00:30:45,799 --> 00:30:48,680 presence on PBS. I mean, he didn't talk about it there, 542 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:53,799 but he promotes it on PBS using your tax money. Now, incidentally, 543 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,200 this week, we're going to be talking in some detail 544 00:30:56,599 --> 00:30:59,960 about the lawsuits in Los Angeles. A woman named Clem 545 00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:02,920 who's now twenty years old, is suing one of the 546 00:31:03,039 --> 00:31:08,119 nation's most famous so called gender docs, doctor Joanna Olsen Kennedy. 547 00:31:08,519 --> 00:31:13,200 I have some very distinct and very clear, and you 548 00:31:13,319 --> 00:31:17,799 might even say pungent thoughts about this so called doctor. 549 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,200 We're going to be featuring that on our substack channel 550 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,480 this week. If you haven't yet subscribed, go to The 551 00:31:22,519 --> 00:31:25,200 Todd Herman Show dot substack dot com. And I think 552 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,279 you're going to learn a whole lot about this lawsuit 553 00:31:28,519 --> 00:31:31,599 and about this woman, including seeing what I think is 554 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,720 the first ever interview with Clementine that actually happened with 555 00:31:35,759 --> 00:31:38,279 the friend of ours we've had on this program multiple times. 556 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,880 That's the Todd Herman Show dot substack dot com. There 557 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,599 should be no money going to the public broadcasting system. 558 00:31:46,039 --> 00:31:48,880 It is a publisher with a point of view. It 559 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,920 is a distinctly an American point of view. It's a 560 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,440 point of view that seeks to destroy families. There's no 561 00:31:53,519 --> 00:31:55,519 reason for our tax dollars to be involved in it 562 00:31:55,559 --> 00:31:58,319 in any way. But there's some other things that we 563 00:31:58,319 --> 00:32:01,960 should cut. One just goes to this issue of fairness. 564 00:32:02,599 --> 00:32:04,880 Remember that liberals look at things through the lens of 565 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:09,000 compassion and fairness. We have an opportunity to out compassion 566 00:32:09,079 --> 00:32:12,440 and out fair some of the liberals and to help 567 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,240 protect our money. And we need to do this. With 568 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,759 the war in Syria now supposedly at an end, and 569 00:32:19,839 --> 00:32:21,759 meeting the new boss, who's probably likely to be the 570 00:32:21,759 --> 00:32:24,160 same as the old boss, and Joe Biden, the figure 571 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,160 had already said We're going to give you billions of dollars. 572 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,400 So of course he is, I mean you have to 573 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,680 give them money so they can buy American weapons. I mean, 574 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,920 we can't have them not having American weapons. Lakeed Martin Boeing, 575 00:32:36,519 --> 00:32:38,079 all the big groups are going to be down there 576 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,559 arguing for this, all of the lobbyists, and yet President 577 00:32:41,599 --> 00:32:43,640 Trump seems to be standing on Nope, We're not going 578 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,359 to go get into these endless wars. There's some major 579 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,599 changes coming to economy. There's going to be an effort 580 00:32:49,799 --> 00:32:52,920 to create a central bank digital currency. President Trump has 581 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:57,119 said not on his watch. But President Trump is surrounded 582 00:32:57,119 --> 00:33:00,920 by people who want cryptocurrency to blow up. They want 583 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,720 it to go huge. You think Elon mus doesn't want 584 00:33:03,759 --> 00:33:06,720 to see that mainstreamed of course he does, so does 585 00:33:06,799 --> 00:33:10,880 Vivic Ramaswambi. Probably there are major changes coming to economy. 586 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,559 President Trump is really obsessed with bringing manufacturing back. He's 587 00:33:14,599 --> 00:33:17,880 already said the pipelines are coming back. He's talking about tariffs, 588 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,519 sometimes one hundred percent or more tariffs to encourage company 589 00:33:21,599 --> 00:33:25,400 or countries to stop playing games with us. Well, this 590 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,000 all means a massive change in when you're going to 591 00:33:28,039 --> 00:33:32,920 retire unless you can adapt. My friend Zach Abraham at 592 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:37,680 Bolwerck Capital Management operates this way. Number one operating rule 593 00:33:37,759 --> 00:33:41,599 is risk management. He is unbelievably obsessed with risk management. 594 00:33:41,799 --> 00:33:45,880 Operating tool number two is a tactic. Bower Capital Management 595 00:33:46,319 --> 00:33:51,160 actively manages every single portfolio which can reduce risk and volatility. 596 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,160 And Zach is a teacher at heart. He will talk 597 00:33:55,200 --> 00:34:00,519 with you for free, no obligation, no expectations, into every 598 00:34:00,519 --> 00:34:03,119 account that you have. You give maxis to your home, 599 00:34:03,319 --> 00:34:05,880 your equity, your plan to retire, and he'll tell you 600 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,480 if your current account's being actively managed and that's easy 601 00:34:08,519 --> 00:34:10,559 for him to see, and he'll talk to you about 602 00:34:10,599 --> 00:34:12,880 some ideas he might have for you. Most of all, 603 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:17,599 he'll tell you whether your retirement plan is actually reality 604 00:34:18,119 --> 00:34:20,840 or dream, and they'll invite you to work with him 605 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,000 if it's a dream.

They want you to know all 614 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,519 that stuff. See just another layer of bureaucracy that we 615 00:34:52,559 --> 00:34:57,119 could look at cutting. Tulsi Gabbert, that's your challenges for me. 616 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,719 My most challenging aspect of Toulsi is that she follows 617 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,199 a cult leader. That worries me, the guy who leads 618 00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,079 her faith as a cult leader. Is she taking orders 619 00:35:07,079 --> 00:35:09,719 from the cult leader? I want this question answered during 620 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:11,840 her confirmation hearings. I want to hear her discuss this. 621 00:35:12,519 --> 00:35:14,280 It might be that she's got a great answer. Maybe 622 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:17,159 she's distanced herself from the guy you've seen us discuss 623 00:35:17,199 --> 00:35:20,760 as sermons on the program full on cult leader. Beyond that, 624 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:22,760 I don't have a lot of concern about her being 625 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,440 the Director of National Intelligence. She can surround herself with 626 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,840 smart people who understand D and I, who understand the 627 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,400 bureaucracy and want to see the bureaucracy right size in 628 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,199 terms of focus. Remember she was called the domestic terrorist 629 00:35:36,199 --> 00:35:40,840 by this agency. Now we read this nearly one hundred 630 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,480 formal national security officials alarmed at the prospect of Gabbard 631 00:35:44,559 --> 00:35:48,360 leading the intel community. In a letter obtained by NBC News, 632 00:35:48,599 --> 00:35:51,559 the officials urged the Senate to carefully evaluate whether Gabbard 633 00:35:51,599 --> 00:35:55,199 is equipped for the position, which requires Senate confirmation. It 634 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,159 was obtained I love that game to media plays. They 635 00:35:58,199 --> 00:36:00,599 went and snuck it out of the files, obtained it. 636 00:36:01,159 --> 00:36:03,440 It was email to them. That's how they obtained it. 637 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:09,159 We're back to one hundred former national security officials, none 638 00:36:09,199 --> 00:36:13,440 of whom should have pensions. There should be no pensions 639 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,960 in Washington, d C. Whatsoever. Look, I've got a cousin 640 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,360 who works at the Social Security Administration. I'd be glad 641 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:20,480 to look them in the eye and say, no, you 642 00:36:20,519 --> 00:36:23,400 should not have a pension. Why because ninety five percent 643 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,480 of Americans don't. You should have the same exact retirement 644 00:36:27,519 --> 00:36:31,239 plan as ninety five percent of Americans, So that you 645 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,599 two are beholden to four one ks and four L 646 00:36:34,679 --> 00:36:38,079 three b's and every rule we have to play under. 647 00:36:38,599 --> 00:36:45,480 Because government pensions are not fair playgrounds. When you control 648 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:50,400 trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars, you can enrich 649 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,679 your pension plan in ways. No one else can. Government 650 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,880 employees should not be paid for not working, not out 651 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,760 of active accounts. They should have to pay themselves to 652 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,760 not work the same way you and I do. That 653 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:08,320 would also make it somewhat less obnoxious when read headlines 654 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,639 like hundreds of former national security officials they're earning pensions 655 00:37:13,159 --> 00:37:17,119 to help rig elections or in this case, to help 656 00:37:17,199 --> 00:37:20,320 rig a confirmation process. You're paying them to do that 657 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:25,480 if they retired with pensions. There's a Senator named Mark 658 00:37:25,559 --> 00:37:29,320 Queen Mullen who went on to talk about the nomination 659 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:33,400 of Pete Hegseth on CNN. He also is, of course 660 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,519 being attacked by people with pensions. 661 00:37:35,639 --> 00:37:39,440 Speaker 9: What he was describing is what most combat veterans have faced, 662 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,760 and for the media to go after him and start 663 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,559 describing that as a drinking problem is individuals that doesn't 664 00:37:45,679 --> 00:37:48,280 understand combat veterans because they've never been there. They've never 665 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,480 been in combat. They've never seen the horrific stuff that 666 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,639 comes by that. They've never tasted the dirt in their mouth, 667 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,559 they've never heard the horrible sounds in their ears. They 668 00:37:55,599 --> 00:37:57,360 never had the sites that they can't get rid of. 669 00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,039 They've never had the dreams in the middle of the night, 670 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,079 and I think it's or critical for them to even 671 00:38:01,159 --> 00:38:03,480 question that. Now, if he did have a drinking problem, 672 00:38:03,519 --> 00:38:05,320 that would be obvious, but to make something out of 673 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,920 it that isn't there just because he's going through Secretary 674 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,039 of Defense. The media should be ashamed of themselves. They 675 00:38:10,039 --> 00:38:11,760 should put their selves in their shoes and every other 676 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,000 combat veteran shoes before they got there and criticizing. 677 00:38:14,159 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 10: So I have done a lot of coverage of veterans 678 00:38:17,039 --> 00:38:19,039 and a lot of coverage of combat, and while I 679 00:38:19,039 --> 00:38:21,199 have never worn the uniform, I think I do have 680 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:25,360 an understanding of the need of our valiant troops when 681 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,119 they come home to self medicate. What I'm saying is, 682 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,039 when you're talking about drinking at ten in the morning, 683 00:38:32,599 --> 00:38:33,960 that's a drinking problem. 684 00:38:34,119 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 9: Now, it doesn't mean that there's there's a lot of 685 00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:41,800 politicians that have a drinking problem, Jake of Yes, of course, 686 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,280 But I guess my question is yeah, and then there's 687 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,480 probably a lot of media that has a drinking problem too. 688 00:38:47,119 --> 00:38:49,280 Speaker 1: And now I don't drink. I never, I haven't. 689 00:38:49,599 --> 00:38:51,800 Speaker 9: I haven't tasted alcohol in many, many, many years, and 690 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,079 never have drink at all in my life really, and 691 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,039 so I really don't understand that. But there's a lot 692 00:38:59,079 --> 00:39:01,800 of alcohol that flows through Washington DC on a regular basis, 693 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:05,039 and I wouldn't say that people are alcoholics or or 694 00:39:05,119 --> 00:39:06,679 they have a drinking problem because of that. 695 00:39:07,599 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 1: I I don't. I don't see it at all. Are 696 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:14,480 we the only ones who watched Nancy Pelosi stumble nearly 697 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:19,159 up to the microphones clearly lit? And there's a whole 698 00:39:19,159 --> 00:39:23,039 school of thought around Kamala Harris being clearly lit. And incidentally, 699 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:27,880 there are wet bars and ceremonial offices in Washington, d C. 700 00:39:28,079 --> 00:39:32,760 I've seen them. It's a whiskey at noontown. And the 701 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,800 incident is I understand that the ten am incident happened 702 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:39,079 after a filming at Fox News, but they've been talking 703 00:39:39,119 --> 00:39:43,119 about beers and apparently hag Seth helped himself to some 704 00:39:44,079 --> 00:39:47,920 shock and awe. Sure is there's some proof that he's 705 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,360 an alcoholic that's affected as work. He doesn't show up 706 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,679 for work, he shows up drunk. None of that has happened. 707 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,800 So heg Seth is being targeted by people with love 708 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,679 with with pensions, lobbyists who contribute to the pensions of 709 00:39:59,679 --> 00:40:03,320 these p people and the need to not really need 710 00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,880 the pensions, because if there's a think tanks, et cetera, 711 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:07,880 all of that should be blown up by the Department 712 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,280 of Governor efficiency. This last one, to me is the topper. 713 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:13,679 I mean, it's not the most important of them, but 714 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,719 it's the easiest topper. Luke Rosiak from The Daily Wire 715 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:20,719 reports the Social Security Administration just spent one hundred and 716 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,800 twenty million dollars renovating its massive headquarters. And there's a 717 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,559 picture of it, but the building is ninety one percent unused. 718 00:40:28,039 --> 00:40:30,360 And figure had Biden just signed an agreement giving them 719 00:40:31,039 --> 00:40:34,000 work from home throughout the Trump administration, even though Biden 720 00:40:34,079 --> 00:40:36,840 uses twenty twenty two State of the Union speech to 721 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,239 say workers must come back to the office to be productive. 722 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:44,960 So how about this sell that place? Make the people 723 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,639 the Social Security Administration sue, I mean, who could afford that? 724 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,159 I don't know. Intel, maybe one of the new AI 725 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,440 companies that the government has selected to be one of 726 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,679 the three companies that are going to allow to succeed and 727 00:40:57,199 --> 00:41:00,679 take Social Security Administration employees and distribute them throughout the country, 728 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,639 take away the pensions, distribute them about the country. They 729 00:41:03,639 --> 00:41:06,400 don't all need to work in Washington, DC. They can 730 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,159 work in Dubuque, Iowa, and Bozeman, Montana, and Spokane, Washington, 731 00:41:10,639 --> 00:41:13,639 and in the panhandle of Idaho all around the country. 732 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,719 Do that with every federal office. You know what, You're 733 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,960 going to have a whole bunch of people self deporting 734 00:41:20,039 --> 00:41:22,840 out of federal service because they'll no longer be earning 735 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,639 the three to four times the money the taxpayers do. 736 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:31,079 Because can combinate with the move is a shift and salary, 737 00:41:31,199 --> 00:41:34,000 you'll be earning the same amount of money the average 738 00:41:34,039 --> 00:41:38,840 employee with your level of work earns. There's a lot 739 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,880 that we could do. One of the other things that 740 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:44,239 we could do is remember this. If you sit at 741 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:48,119 home like I do, and carp about the government like 742 00:41:48,199 --> 00:41:51,480 I do, and you don't have your attention squarely focus 743 00:41:51,559 --> 00:41:56,480 on your primary ministry, well you're not helping. I mean, 744 00:41:56,519 --> 00:42:02,280 it's fun sport. Remember this. Our primary r responsibility is 745 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:06,280 to take care of the relationship between ourselves and God, 746 00:42:06,679 --> 00:42:10,159 our abiding From that then our home sphere. Are we 747 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,239 being the leaders in our homes that God has called 748 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,639 us to be. We're being the servant leaders we're called 749 00:42:14,639 --> 00:42:17,599 to be that extending then into our neighborhoods, and people 750 00:42:17,639 --> 00:42:20,920 that we have contact with our churches, in our church communities, 751 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:26,599 that a focused approach on that in this nation will 752 00:42:26,679 --> 00:42:29,480 drive a whole lot of change, because as the Holy 753 00:42:29,519 --> 00:42:31,280 Spirit begins to reign in us, we're going to see 754 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,880 a lot more clearly the corruption in DC, and we'll 755 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,320 be able to send a lot more godly people back 756 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,519 there who can actually make changes like this. May God 757 00:42:39,559 --> 00:42:43,800 help Elon Musk and Vivic Ramaswami in getting this all done, 758 00:42:44,199 --> 00:42:46,760 because God has said, do not lord your power over others. 759 00:42:47,679 --> 00:42:49,679 This is the Todd Hermann Show. Please go, be well, 760 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,760 be strong, be kind, and please make every effort to 761 00:42:52,840 --> 00:43:04,280 walk in the light of Christ.
