1
00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:04.519
<v Speaker 1>We read an interesting piece of analysis about Syria and

2
00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Bashad being gone, and that analysis began with how did

3
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:12.560
<v Speaker 1>the people in organizations who are trying to take him

4
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:14.240
<v Speaker 1>down over all this period of time, how did they

5
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:18.600
<v Speaker 1>suddenly become delta force? What broke the back? Now at

6
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:20.760
<v Speaker 1>this point, remember, we have armed forces over there, are

7
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:22.480
<v Speaker 1>men and women over there, and have been for three

8
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:24.440
<v Speaker 1>or four years. We're not supposed to talk about that

9
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.920
<v Speaker 1>because it's an active war. But we just sent a

10
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:32.320
<v Speaker 1>bunch of our military money, might etc. Think God, none

11
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:34.799
<v Speaker 1>of our lives lost to destroy a whole bunch of

12
00:00:34.799 --> 00:00:39.280
<v Speaker 1>aircraft and assets so that the regime that takes over

13
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:43.880
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have access to them. But figure out. Biden said

14
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:49.399
<v Speaker 1>something then, and to me, this is a point of curiosity.

15
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:52.399
<v Speaker 1>Everybody knows President Trump's coming in. Everybody watched him at

16
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>the meeting with world leaders. Everybody watched the world leader's

17
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:59.799
<v Speaker 1>genuflect to him. It's obvious they understand he's in charge.

18
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>So is there a reason that this happens now we'll

19
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:07.159
<v Speaker 1>talk about that. Plus, yes, the title of the program,

20
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>I got your doge hanging right here. That's the hanging

21
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.480
<v Speaker 1>parts from my redneck youth, my apology. Such a rude

22
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:17.599
<v Speaker 1>thing to say, I got your doge right here. So

23
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:19.439
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of ways that we could cut government

24
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.519
<v Speaker 1>to the Department of Government efficiency. We'll talk about that

25
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.599
<v Speaker 1>and later on today. Some thoughts on John Lennon. This

26
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:29.640
<v Speaker 1>the anniversary day after his death, and it's a thought

27
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:31.319
<v Speaker 1>that I have. We'll get into the show later. Not

28
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:34.120
<v Speaker 1>this show, but the next one we publish. That tend

29
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:36.359
<v Speaker 1>to upset some John Lennon fans, so just let her

30
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>but know I'm a John Lennon fan too. We'll talk

31
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:40.159
<v Speaker 1>about this all with the help of a YouTube channel

32
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.239
<v Speaker 1>on YouTube dot com slash at the Todd Herman Show

33
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:43.280
<v Speaker 1>and with God Almighty.

34
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:48.519
<v Speaker 2>But Todd Herman Show is one hundred percent disapproved by

35
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:56.640
<v Speaker 2>big pharma, technocrarats and tyrants everywhere from the high mountains

36
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:04.040
<v Speaker 2>of Free America. Here's the end old city exime. God

37
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:04.760
<v Speaker 2>to her Man.

38
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.319
<v Speaker 1>Today is a day the Lord has made in These

39
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.879
<v Speaker 1>are the times to which God has decided we shall live.

40
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.319
<v Speaker 1>So the Dictator of Syria is gone. Meet the new boss,

41
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.360
<v Speaker 1>probably same as the old boss, but the figurehead Biden

42
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:22.800
<v Speaker 1>has announced that he's got Bill into Bucks ready for

43
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:25.599
<v Speaker 1>the new regime. Doesn't yet know who they're going to be,

44
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:29.800
<v Speaker 1>but he's ready with money. So why do you think

45
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:34.360
<v Speaker 1>a move like this gets made. I would suggest that

46
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:37.719
<v Speaker 1>there's a whole bunch of lobbyists in the Pentagon. And yes,

47
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.360
<v Speaker 1>lobbyist are in the Pentagon. I know the halls of

48
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Congress going there and saying, look, we have one chance

49
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.360
<v Speaker 1>to do this in Syria, to back these guys, to

50
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.439
<v Speaker 1>get a shahbasr out, to get rid of the dictator.

51
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.120
<v Speaker 1>There one chance. So this is not my analysis, this

52
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:55.599
<v Speaker 1>is analysis of a mill blog. I fall We'll try

53
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:58.599
<v Speaker 1>to get our friend Michael roorkon I'm tired Special Forces operative,

54
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.360
<v Speaker 1>see what he thinks of all this. But you got

55
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:04.039
<v Speaker 1>this one chance because Trump's coming in on a promise

56
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.960
<v Speaker 1>of none of these endless wars. You know, they tried

57
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:10.680
<v Speaker 1>to lock Trump into Ukraine spending. There are Republican senators

58
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:14.319
<v Speaker 1>who say they will not back any nominee for any

59
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.240
<v Speaker 1>cabinet position in Trump's cabinet if they're not all in

60
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.360
<v Speaker 1>on Ukraine. So you have a lot of lobbyists who

61
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:26.319
<v Speaker 1>understand that the massive, massive bravy train may be ending,

62
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.080
<v Speaker 1>and under President Trump, he's not going to be seeking

63
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>new wars. And it's not that he's weak. It's not

64
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.560
<v Speaker 1>a particularly strong thing for the United States. And we're

65
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:40.599
<v Speaker 1>doing this through the beleaguered and corrupt Secretary of State

66
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Tony Blinken. Tony Blinken is saying the way for the

67
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:47.479
<v Speaker 1>Ukrainians to win this war is to go get to

68
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:52.439
<v Speaker 1>Ukrainian youth and force them into service, to grab them

69
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:53.919
<v Speaker 1>out of their homes and off the streets and force

70
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:58.199
<v Speaker 1>them into the military. That's the way to win. So expands,

71
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:01.639
<v Speaker 1>you're dead from six hundred thousand adults, maybe he could

72
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>kill six hundred than teens. That's not strong. Sometimes the

73
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:09.919
<v Speaker 1>strong thing is you recognize that war is lost for Ukraine.

74
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.560
<v Speaker 1>It was lost before it began, just given the numbers.

75
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.519
<v Speaker 1>So that's not a strong position for the Democrats or

76
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Mitch McConnell or the others who love this war. It's

77
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:25.160
<v Speaker 1>a cash machine. It's not a war of necessity. And

78
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:27.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe the war in Syria was a war

79
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.360
<v Speaker 1>of necessity for US. Hey, if Iraq wasn't a war

80
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:35.480
<v Speaker 1>of necessity, and going into Afghanistan beyond taking out Osama

81
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.480
<v Speaker 1>bin Laden was not a necessity, how on earth is

82
00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 1>this a necessity? We those of us who support President Trump,

83
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>even if there are people who were supporting reluctantly. We

84
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.399
<v Speaker 1>should be hoping that President Trump focuses our military and

85
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:51.839
<v Speaker 1>being able to defend us and to project force when

86
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:57.000
<v Speaker 1>it's absolutely necessary, and in doing that by reserving our forces,

87
00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.000
<v Speaker 1>by not being in the All and Wars, by modernized

88
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.720
<v Speaker 1>our military to understand you can't shoot down drones. You

89
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:04.160
<v Speaker 1>can try as hard as you want, but we're finding

90
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:07.279
<v Speaker 1>out it's nearly impossible to shoot down drones fields of drones.

91
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:10.439
<v Speaker 1>They can take out our ships. We need to be

92
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.600
<v Speaker 1>focused on getting our act together in terms of technology

93
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 1>for today, and this is something that Pete Hegseth wants

94
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.920
<v Speaker 1>to do, which brings us around to him. So the

95
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:21.959
<v Speaker 1>attacks on him continue. They're trying to take the guy out.

96
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:24.079
<v Speaker 1>And it's not because he's a stupid man. You don't

97
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.920
<v Speaker 1>end up with two Ivy League degrees and be stupid.

98
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.639
<v Speaker 1>And even though the Ivy League is fallen, you still

99
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:31.480
<v Speaker 1>have to be sort of a smart guy to come

100
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:35.519
<v Speaker 1>out with that. It's because heg Seth is not going

101
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:38.079
<v Speaker 1>to be owned by lobbyists, and the lobbyists know that.

102
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:40.480
<v Speaker 1>That's why I think we saw this sudden explosion and

103
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:43.079
<v Speaker 1>activity in Syria where all of a sudden they had

104
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.639
<v Speaker 1>all the capabilities and everything they needed to just completely

105
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:49.879
<v Speaker 1>close off the dictator's air supply and he fled. So

106
00:05:49.959 --> 00:05:51.680
<v Speaker 1>watch Biden come up and say he's going to back

107
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:54.439
<v Speaker 1>them with the billions of our dollars. Well, it says

108
00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:58.720
<v Speaker 1>everything possible about Joe Biden, who doesn't just lack any wisdom,

109
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:02.439
<v Speaker 1>he lacks any fear of the Lord at all. Now

110
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:05.720
<v Speaker 1>number of people are send me emails asking about the

111
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.360
<v Speaker 1>product Wisdom. This is the Bible based herbal blend that

112
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:11.399
<v Speaker 1>I've been taking. And they sent me a note saying, wait, wait,

113
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:14.399
<v Speaker 1>what's the website? So apparently the website is hard to

114
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:18.279
<v Speaker 1>remember something to say this, it's try wisdomnow dot com

115
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:21.519
<v Speaker 1>slash todd. So what is this stuff? Well, it's based

116
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:26.279
<v Speaker 1>in an oil base and it's sacred herbs and spices

117
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:28.439
<v Speaker 1>that come out of the Bible. I mean that the

118
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:30.199
<v Speaker 1>spices themselves don't come out of the Bible, but they're

119
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.199
<v Speaker 1>mentioned so often in the Bible as ways to cleanse

120
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:36.399
<v Speaker 1>and to heal. So what does it do well? It

121
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:40.879
<v Speaker 1>helps with inflation, inflammation response, it helps with immune response,

122
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:44.439
<v Speaker 1>and for me, it delivers a sense of calm, and

123
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.680
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy that it tastes as good as it does.

124
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:48.839
<v Speaker 1>We're playing scrabble the other night, and by the way,

125
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I won. My wife is a very very good scrabble player.

126
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I want to buy about four points and praise God,

127
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I got to be able to use all my pieces

128
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:58.199
<v Speaker 1>so I could shut her out. Otherwise I guarantee she

129
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:00.399
<v Speaker 1>would have found a way to come back. So as

130
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.480
<v Speaker 1>the game was wrapping up, I took wisdom and just

131
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:05.839
<v Speaker 1>got this incredible sense of calm. And the doctor who

132
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.120
<v Speaker 1>invented this was in the Holy Land when he was

133
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:11.680
<v Speaker 1>given the vision for this. His name is doctor Patrick

134
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.439
<v Speaker 1>shen Tempo. So he took his advanced knowledge of science

135
00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:18.360
<v Speaker 1>to infuse this with light and sound waves, all of

136
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:21.800
<v Speaker 1>it to trap the potency of these herbs in this

137
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:25.000
<v Speaker 1>oil base. So you can do this. Try this yourself.

138
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:28.160
<v Speaker 1>So try your yourself experience the power of wisdom. Go

147
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:57.120
<v Speaker 1>of Government Efficiency, we can start right away with the

148
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Pentagon and an audit of the Pentagon that is pass

149
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:05.000
<v Speaker 1>fail because they failed every single one of them, so

150
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:06.759
<v Speaker 1>and we don't get to audit the Federal Reserve. But

151
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:09.800
<v Speaker 1>let's start with the Pentagon. Do we really need all

152
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:12.879
<v Speaker 1>that money? We'd like to think that the Pentagon is

153
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:14.360
<v Speaker 1>playing on the up and up, but when you lose

154
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:17.360
<v Speaker 1>six hundred million dollars, you're not. That's one thing the

155
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:20.519
<v Speaker 1>Department of Government Efficiency could do. The biggest thing it

156
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.079
<v Speaker 1>could do is put on notice to Republicans that we

157
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:26.240
<v Speaker 1>are on to the fact that they're the big spenders,

158
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:30.399
<v Speaker 1>just along with the Democrats. Chip Roy from Texas was

159
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:34.559
<v Speaker 1>in a meeting with Elon Musk and Vivid Ramaswami and

160
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:38.240
<v Speaker 1>they talked about the Department of Government Efficiency and apparently

161
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Vivic has been studying the laws. He's been studying the

162
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:46.639
<v Speaker 1>bureaucratic approaches, the things they can do to force spending cuts.

163
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:50.840
<v Speaker 1>So he's trying to become an anti bureaucrats. To the bureaucrats,

164
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:54.639
<v Speaker 1>because they hide behind their ability to not be fired,

165
00:08:54.879 --> 00:09:00.559
<v Speaker 1>you can't downsize us. So apparently during this meeting, Republicans

166
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.519
<v Speaker 1>were clapping their hands and jumping up and down. We

167
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:05.720
<v Speaker 1>can't wait to get behind you on this. We've been

168
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:08.679
<v Speaker 1>waiting for this. We can't wait to cut the freight

169
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:12.799
<v Speaker 1>of the fraud, wasted abuse. And apparently behind the scenes,

170
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:17.440
<v Speaker 1>chip Roy spoke up and said, you're all liars. You're

171
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:19.320
<v Speaker 1>saying this right now, but I guarantee you when it

172
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:22.879
<v Speaker 1>comes down the money for your district, that's not going

173
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:25.240
<v Speaker 1>to happen. None of you are going to do this.

174
00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Mary Hemingway's reporting this. She knows something about the beltways.

175
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:32.639
<v Speaker 1>There's great sources there that chip Roy want ballistic on them.

176
00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Tell the truth to people you're not in favor of this.

177
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Chip Roy also talked about the lack of respect that

178
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.840
<v Speaker 1>the president's nominees are getting here as we deal.

179
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:47.600
<v Speaker 3>With all that, and on the spending issue, I watch

180
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:53.559
<v Speaker 3>the Senate Republicans doing this dance of handwringing and concern

181
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:59.919
<v Speaker 3>about the president's nominees. The president was elected by the

182
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.600
<v Speaker 3>American people to change this town. He has nominated people

183
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:06.440
<v Speaker 3>who want to change this town. If you want to

184
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:11.279
<v Speaker 3>go overturn every rock of everybody's past and then say

185
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:16.559
<v Speaker 3>that they are not capable or they don't deserve to

186
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.759
<v Speaker 3>serve in a position like Secretary of Defense as it's

187
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:26.200
<v Speaker 3>currently occurring with the targeted attacks on Pete Hegsath, well,

188
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:32.120
<v Speaker 3>maybe you should take the board out of your eye.

189
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:35.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm not saying that we don't have standards that are

190
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:37.799
<v Speaker 3>appropriate in the advice and consent process. We do, and

191
00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:40.840
<v Speaker 3>we should. I'm a believer in that in separation of powers.

192
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:47.120
<v Speaker 3>But the president also is deserving of the courtesy and

193
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:50.759
<v Speaker 3>the respect of his own party, in particular of the

194
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:55.559
<v Speaker 3>individuals he's nominating to change the town. He was elected

195
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:56.240
<v Speaker 3>to change it.

196
00:10:57.159 --> 00:10:59.840
<v Speaker 1>What are the things the Department of Government Efficiency could do?

197
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Start a pork reporting process for Republican senators. Let Republicans

198
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:11.879
<v Speaker 1>report it to republicans, publish it, read it into the

199
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:15.919
<v Speaker 1>House record, Get people like Chip Roy to read into

200
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:20.279
<v Speaker 1>the record what his colleagues are doing. Part of the

201
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:22.639
<v Speaker 1>Department of Government Efficiency is not just going in and

202
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:25.440
<v Speaker 1>cutting the bureaucracy. It's cutting the head off the bureaucracy

203
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:28.200
<v Speaker 1>because what the officeholders have done is really really brilliant.

204
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:31.360
<v Speaker 1>They get to blame the bureaucrats. Look with the bureaucratic waste,

205
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:34.360
<v Speaker 1>fraud abuse, Look what they're doing. Anytime they choose to,

206
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:37.399
<v Speaker 1>they can take their power back. Anytime they choose too.

207
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:39.399
<v Speaker 1>They can say, yeah, you know what, no more, you

208
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.919
<v Speaker 1>no longer get to make administrative rules as if their law.

209
00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:45.039
<v Speaker 1>We have to approve them. Because right now they make

210
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:46.559
<v Speaker 1>these rules, and I think it's one hundred and day

211
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:49.399
<v Speaker 1>days after that. If the House and the Senate don't object,

212
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:52.480
<v Speaker 1>then those things become law with the force of law.

213
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:55.120
<v Speaker 1>They can stop that. They don't want to because they're

214
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.960
<v Speaker 1>like being able to dance this way. So the doge

215
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.240
<v Speaker 1>people musk and remiswamp. They should publish a list of

216
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:06.360
<v Speaker 1>the worst defenders on the Republican side. Sure do the Democrats,

217
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:11.240
<v Speaker 1>but you're going to get more more progress by spotlighting

218
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:16.519
<v Speaker 1>Republicans who are doing this. There's also then the bureaucratic shaming.

219
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:21.679
<v Speaker 1>There needs to be a process by which bureaucrats come

220
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:26.960
<v Speaker 1>and beg for any money Now this is a term

221
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:31.279
<v Speaker 1>that's using businesses called zero line budgeting or baseline budgeting.

222
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Your budget, FEMA is zero. You have no money. You

223
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:39.679
<v Speaker 1>need to come in and make an argument for dollar

224
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:44.480
<v Speaker 1>number one. Now here's how they say, this isn't possible.

225
00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:46.559
<v Speaker 1>You can't run us down to zero. We can't then

226
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:51.039
<v Speaker 1>predict our planning, et cetera. Okay, that sucks. That's going

227
00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:53.759
<v Speaker 1>to be really hard. I mean, surely you can make

228
00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:57.519
<v Speaker 1>an argument for fifty percent of your budget. If they

229
00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:00.159
<v Speaker 1>can't do that, then they don't deserve to exist. So

230
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.840
<v Speaker 1>go to a zero line baseline budgeting. Every budget cycle

231
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:06.120
<v Speaker 1>begins with an assumption of zero. Give them two years

232
00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:10.759
<v Speaker 1>to plant. Two years into President Trump's four years, your

233
00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:14.759
<v Speaker 1>budget guides go to zero. You have two years to

234
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:18.720
<v Speaker 1>prove you're focused on the American people. Because two years

235
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.000
<v Speaker 1>from now you're going to come into Congress. You're going

236
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:25.000
<v Speaker 1>to be able to come in six months early. Your

237
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:28.960
<v Speaker 1>budget will be zero. You'll be making an argument for

238
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:35.519
<v Speaker 1>any budget, and your argument must begin with here's our mission.

239
00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Lay out the mission. I'll give you a great example

240
00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:43.679
<v Speaker 1>of why things like this are so important with something

241
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:47.360
<v Speaker 1>that happened out of North Carolina, and it goes down

242
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:52.639
<v Speaker 1>to bureaucrats need to bureaucrats, Bosses need to boss. I'll

243
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:55.440
<v Speaker 1>tell you that the corruption in this stinks to such

244
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:58.360
<v Speaker 1>a high degree that you know it's costing lives. And

245
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:00.840
<v Speaker 1>in this case, it just cost a woman two hundred bucks,

246
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:04.799
<v Speaker 1>but it's costing lives. I can't yet get into detail,

247
00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:06.360
<v Speaker 1>but I'm going to give you a glimpse of one

248
00:14:06.360 --> 00:14:08.559
<v Speaker 1>of the reasons why I love working with the people

249
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:11.000
<v Speaker 1>at Renewed Healthcare in Mexico, because it has to do

250
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:16.240
<v Speaker 1>with corruption. Some longtime listeners to my radio show, they

251
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.360
<v Speaker 1>started with me in Seattle back when I was doing

252
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:23.240
<v Speaker 1>local radio, extended over into the podcast Praise God. They

253
00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:25.600
<v Speaker 1>decided to go down to Mexico, and I'm going to

254
00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:27.919
<v Speaker 1>get the details on this for you. So they went down,

255
00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:30.279
<v Speaker 1>were impressed with the care. They had this abatement of

256
00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:33.399
<v Speaker 1>their pain, which is expected when you use ethically gathered

257
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:36.279
<v Speaker 1>stem sales from umbilical cords and placentas. And I don't

258
00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:37.559
<v Speaker 1>have the details yet on what they were there to

259
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:40.000
<v Speaker 1>get done, and they may not want to share that,

260
00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:43.480
<v Speaker 1>but I can tell you this. During the process of

261
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:48.240
<v Speaker 1>looking at them, they discovered that the lady had a

262
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:54.320
<v Speaker 1>heart condition that was going to be deadly. They discovered

263
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:57.840
<v Speaker 1>this through the process of caring for her in the

264
00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:01.799
<v Speaker 1>stem cell approach, and they suggested, in fact, told her,

265
00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:05.679
<v Speaker 1>you need to have surgery right now. You need stints

266
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:09.919
<v Speaker 1>inserted in your body. She did it the same day.

267
00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:13.240
<v Speaker 1>See renew is right next door to a world class hospital.

268
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.320
<v Speaker 1>They've got a peering relationship. They share a cat scam machine,

269
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:18.320
<v Speaker 1>which is probably how they found this in this lady.

270
00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:21.039
<v Speaker 1>She was able to get those stints installed and be

271
00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:23.440
<v Speaker 1>home the next day. She didn't go there for that.

272
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:28.080
<v Speaker 1>That's not their business, but their business is caring for people.

273
00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:31.360
<v Speaker 1>I have a friend of mine who's a professional athlete

274
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:33.080
<v Speaker 1>for most of his life, and he's trying to get

275
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:36.559
<v Speaker 1>down there to get an infusion. This is so high end,

276
00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:39.120
<v Speaker 1>it's so unaffordable for most people. But if you have

277
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:42.679
<v Speaker 1>the resources, an infusion of stem cells puts the stem

278
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:45.759
<v Speaker 1>cells in your body. They go destroy inflammation. Then they

279
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:49.679
<v Speaker 1>travel throughout your body anywhere they can help rebuild tissue,

280
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:53.399
<v Speaker 1>be it cartilage, be it tendon, be it muscle. They'll

281
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:55.919
<v Speaker 1>do that starting with the spots where they're needed most.

282
00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:58.879
<v Speaker 1>That's what the stem cells do. They build human tissue.

283
00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Check these guys out see if they can help you.

284
00:16:01.399 --> 00:16:03.679
<v Speaker 1>They'll tell you if they can or can't. It's renewed

285
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:07.519
<v Speaker 1>dot Healthcare r E n UE dot Healthcare r E

286
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:12.600
<v Speaker 1>n ue dot Healthcare. They didn't have to do that.

287
00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:14.720
<v Speaker 1>In fact, in America, they probably wouldn't have done that

288
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:17.720
<v Speaker 1>because of liability. They did it because they wanted to help.

289
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:20.840
<v Speaker 1>I know there's people at FEMA, employees at FEMA who

290
00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:23.240
<v Speaker 1>want to help. We know this. People don't go into

291
00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:26.600
<v Speaker 1>the government necessarily to go rule over others. People stay

292
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:29.440
<v Speaker 1>in government because they like the feeling of ruling over others,

293
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:31.120
<v Speaker 1>or they like the feeling of being able to work

294
00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:33.080
<v Speaker 1>from home and have no accountability or just take three

295
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:35.759
<v Speaker 1>weeks off. They like this security. Plus they like the

296
00:16:35.799 --> 00:16:38.120
<v Speaker 1>fact that they're paid two to three times the amount

297
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:40.399
<v Speaker 1>of money that the people who pay the bills are paid.

298
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:44.320
<v Speaker 1>This is from FEMA. It's from North Carolina. It's a woman.

299
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:49.720
<v Speaker 1>All she needed was a window on her home, listen

300
00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:50.519
<v Speaker 1>and watch.

301
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:53.399
<v Speaker 4>She had was a crack in her window. So she thought,

302
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:56.600
<v Speaker 4>since FEMA is helping out people write damage from Helleen

303
00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:59.720
<v Speaker 4>in Mecklmer County, maybe she could tap into some funds

304
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:03.919
<v Speaker 4>from that agency. FEMA said no, but FEMA did offer

305
00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:07.920
<v Speaker 4>to put her and forty others in a hotel, including

306
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:10.319
<v Speaker 4>the South Park Marriott.

307
00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:11.559
<v Speaker 1>For up to a month.

308
00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:16.680
<v Speaker 5>This little crack from Helene led to a situation that

309
00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:20.799
<v Speaker 5>has seventy four year old Susan Lewis cracking up in disbelief.

310
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:24.759
<v Speaker 5>I kept rereading it thinking what am I missing here?

311
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:28.960
<v Speaker 5>Just makes no sense. The damaged window was in her

312
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:33.599
<v Speaker 5>Force Ridge condo. Since FEMA is offering Mecklnberg County residents

313
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:37.400
<v Speaker 5>Helena assistance, she applied for funding to fix it. She

314
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:39.839
<v Speaker 5>says FEMA denied the claim and told her to submit

315
00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:42.680
<v Speaker 5>it to her home insurance. She ended up having to

316
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:45.440
<v Speaker 5>pay two hundred dollars for the repair out of her

317
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:48.759
<v Speaker 5>own pocket because she has one thousand dollars deductible. I'm

318
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:53.039
<v Speaker 5>living in Social Security. I'm Sidney four, your woman, and

319
00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:56.599
<v Speaker 5>you know all these eleg strips bitches really ad ups.

320
00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:59.920
<v Speaker 5>While FEMA wouldn't fix the window, she says, the agent's

321
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:03.880
<v Speaker 5>offer her something else, a month's stay for up to

322
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.480
<v Speaker 5>four people one a hotel. One of the hotels is

323
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:10.720
<v Speaker 5>the South Park Marriott. The average rate is nearly two

324
00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:14.039
<v Speaker 5>hundred dollars a night. The hotel even told her she

325
00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:16.640
<v Speaker 5>could get two RUMs if she needed space for four.

326
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:20.640
<v Speaker 5>Instead of paying two hundred bucks for the window, she says,

327
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:23.359
<v Speaker 5>FEMA offered to spend thousand on an hotel.

328
00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:29.079
<v Speaker 1>She didn't need it. It makes no sense. Now, remember

329
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:31.759
<v Speaker 1>there's still people in western North Carolina who are living

330
00:18:31.799 --> 00:18:36.720
<v Speaker 1>in tents. And remember that when the Amish built tiny

331
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:40.519
<v Speaker 1>houses for them and had them shipped down, there were

332
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:43.960
<v Speaker 1>local bureaucrats who blocked the tiny houses and took them

333
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:46.680
<v Speaker 1>away and said go back under the overpasses and go

334
00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:49.160
<v Speaker 1>live in tents. Well, FEMA is saying, we won't fix

335
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:52.400
<v Speaker 1>a window, but she can have a hotel room. The

336
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:55.839
<v Speaker 1>Department of Government Efficiency needs to work with Congress to

337
00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:59.720
<v Speaker 1>shame Republicans for their pork barrel spending. It's a shame

338
00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:03.640
<v Speaker 1>decratspcially going to get more traction. Shamey Republicans. They need

339
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:07.640
<v Speaker 1>to make an argument for baseline budgeting beginning in two years.

340
00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Give every agency a head up. Heads up. In two years,

341
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:15.519
<v Speaker 1>your budgets go to zero. Now, if you make a

342
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:19.119
<v Speaker 1>good argument for needing any money, the budgets will come back.

343
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:21.920
<v Speaker 1>But you're not going to be making a good argument

344
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:26.000
<v Speaker 1>when we can point to things like this. You can say, hey,

345
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:28.799
<v Speaker 1>it's a crack, we don't want female repairing cracks and ones.

346
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Fair enough, have that discussion, but don't have a continuing

347
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:39.400
<v Speaker 1>resolution that continues to increase the amount of money, because

348
00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:44.319
<v Speaker 1>every federal agency can count on money continuing to go up.

349
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Let me give you another example. A lot of schools,

350
00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:53.319
<v Speaker 1>the education of American kids is at a low points

351
00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:55.440
<v Speaker 1>compared to the rest of the world. I mean, there's

352
00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:57.519
<v Speaker 1>a lot of reasons for this. You know that the

353
00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:00.519
<v Speaker 1>government schools are and doctor ending kids are not edguingating them.

354
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:02.240
<v Speaker 1>You know that the government schools are all in on

355
00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:06.440
<v Speaker 1>DIEDI and on racism and on gender madness. It's not

356
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:08.640
<v Speaker 1>about educating the kids in all too many government schools.

357
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:11.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's some decent ones. I've got some friends

358
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:13.440
<v Speaker 1>of mine whose kids go to schools in Idaho and

359
00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:16.440
<v Speaker 1>their government schools, and they really like those schools. But

360
00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:20.079
<v Speaker 1>in those schools, parents are welcomed every day, every single day,

361
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:22.640
<v Speaker 1>there's a parent there, and if any sort of gender

362
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:25.039
<v Speaker 1>madness slips out, the parents who are there call them

363
00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:27.920
<v Speaker 1>on it immediately. There are other schools in Idaho that

364
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:30.319
<v Speaker 1>are not that way. Where the gender madness has slept

365
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.200
<v Speaker 1>into the hallways or crept into the hallways. So the

366
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:38.960
<v Speaker 1>schools overall government like have seen the effectiveness of government

367
00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:43.079
<v Speaker 1>schools decrease, particularly in comparison to the goal, but something

368
00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:46.920
<v Speaker 1>is increasing from the video service. I'm going to show

369
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:49.400
<v Speaker 1>you a chart here in a second that is going

370
00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:52.519
<v Speaker 1>to make the case for not something else that the

371
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Department of Government Efficiencies should do, starting with the Department

372
00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:59.400
<v Speaker 1>of Education. And in their case, it's not baseline budgeting,

373
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.640
<v Speaker 1>it's not zero line budgeting. It's something else. It's something

374
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:06.160
<v Speaker 1>that some people would see is more radical, except it's

375
00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:11.720
<v Speaker 1>completely defensible, utterly defensible, and people should calm down about it.

376
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:14.720
<v Speaker 1>Getting into the holiday season, a lot of people end

377
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:18.839
<v Speaker 1>up getting very very uncom or even stressed or anxious.

378
00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:21.680
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't need to be the case. I've talked with

379
00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:24.599
<v Speaker 1>you about magnesium breakthrough and its ability to help people sleep.

380
00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:26.319
<v Speaker 1>That's true with me. It helps me sleep through the

381
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:28.640
<v Speaker 1>night if I do wake up and go back to sleep.

382
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:33.319
<v Speaker 1>It also helps with the ultimate absorption of nutrients in

383
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:35.759
<v Speaker 1>your body, that is regularity. That's a phrase you don't

384
00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:37.640
<v Speaker 1>like to talk about because it's icky, but it's also

385
00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:41.240
<v Speaker 1>something we all do. It also, though, controls the stress

386
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:45.160
<v Speaker 1>hormone cortisol, So if you're running around last minute chritsiskifts,

387
00:21:45.200 --> 00:21:47.359
<v Speaker 1>you're going to arrive on time, or too many people

388
00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:49.720
<v Speaker 1>come into the house. You might have relatives coming over

389
00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:52.000
<v Speaker 1>that you don't really like what you love, and you

390
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:53.559
<v Speaker 1>know that can create a lot of stress. Maybe you've

391
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:55.599
<v Speaker 1>got a room that fits our house, that fits four people,

392
00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:58.640
<v Speaker 1>but fourteen or coming. There's a whole series of stresses

393
00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:00.480
<v Speaker 1>or suck under friend of mine the other day, he

394
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:02.279
<v Speaker 1>and his wife are argued about where they're going for

395
00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Christmas because he made the reservations in Hawaii, she made

396
00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:08.920
<v Speaker 1>the reservations elsewhere, and they might end up having Christma

397
00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Christopher part for the first time. There's also the situation

398
00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:14.119
<v Speaker 1>I heard of from her friend of mine whose wife

399
00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:16.160
<v Speaker 1>does not want the ex wife bringing the kids over.

400
00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:18.079
<v Speaker 1>She wants the kids brought over by an uber, anything

401
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:20.519
<v Speaker 1>but the ex wife. He's saying, no, I'm not putting

402
00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:22.839
<v Speaker 1>my kids in an uber. My ex wife is welcome

403
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:24.640
<v Speaker 1>to walk into the house and drop the kids off.

404
00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:26.799
<v Speaker 1>I was married to her for fourteen years. His current

405
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:29.039
<v Speaker 1>wife is saying, hey, you want wife number three? This

406
00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:33.599
<v Speaker 1>can create a whole series of stresses. Obviously we find

407
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:35.880
<v Speaker 1>calm ultimately in the arms of God. But then again

408

415
00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:05.880
<v Speaker 1>been some steady growth rate with the exception of twenty

416
00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:11.240
<v Speaker 1>nineteen for kids in government schools. This chart shows administrative staff,

417
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:18.559
<v Speaker 1>principles and assistant principles, teachers, and students their growth rate.

418
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:23.559
<v Speaker 1>So since the year two thousands, we were watching about

419
00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:28.200
<v Speaker 1>a ten percent growth rate for teachers and students. But

420
00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:30.839
<v Speaker 1>then the students dropped off and have stayed dropped off

421
00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:35.519
<v Speaker 1>about a five percent drop. The teachers have kept growing.

422
00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:45.200
<v Speaker 1>The principles and assistant principles grew by thirty nine percent. Remember,

423
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:51.039
<v Speaker 1>students have dropped, but the assistants have grown by thirty

424
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:58.160
<v Speaker 1>nine percent. The administrative staff has grown by ninety five percent.

425
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Teachers were almost flatlined or ten percent growth, and students

426
00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:08.680
<v Speaker 1>went down. This is an argument for an elimination of

427
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:12.720
<v Speaker 1>the Department of Education. The Department of Education is many

428
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:15.559
<v Speaker 1>many things. Part of it is it's the center foreign doctrination.

429
00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:18.839
<v Speaker 1>Part of it is it's the center for union growth.

430
00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:24.599
<v Speaker 1>Those administrative staff are probably union members who, as you know,

431
00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:27.240
<v Speaker 1>take that money. The unions do take a percentage of

432
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:31.440
<v Speaker 1>everybody's paycheck pool. It pay themselves three to four times

433
00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:35.039
<v Speaker 1>the amount of money teachers get paid, give themselves pensions,

434
00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:38.079
<v Speaker 1>retirement plans that most of us will never see, and

435
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:40.000
<v Speaker 1>then they turn around and they launder a bunch of

436
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:43.039
<v Speaker 1>it to the Democrat Party. There is no reason on

437
00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:45.440
<v Speaker 1>earth for a Department of Education in Washington, d C.

438
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:50.160
<v Speaker 1>Here's why every state has one. There are local school

439
00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:56.000
<v Speaker 1>districts who have their administrators. There's city school districts, there's

440
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:59.359
<v Speaker 1>city level departments of education. There is no reason for

441
00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:02.160
<v Speaker 1>this to come out of Washington, d C. If a

442
00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:07.200
<v Speaker 1>student's civil rights are violated, there's the Department of Justice.

443
00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:10.400
<v Speaker 1>If the people in the schools are serving bad food

444
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:13.960
<v Speaker 1>that are making kids sick, there's the Department of agriculture

445
00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:18.279
<v Speaker 1>if they're not hiring people because of their race or religion.

446
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Once again, you have the Department of Justice. You don't

447
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:24.839
<v Speaker 1>need a curriculum developed in Washington, DC. Because people are different.

448
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:28.160
<v Speaker 1>There's things so people who live in the farmlands need

449
00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:30.359
<v Speaker 1>to know that people in the cities don't need to know.

450
00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:34.240
<v Speaker 1>The elimination of the Department of Education is a no

451
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:38.359
<v Speaker 1>brainer for the Department of Government efficiency because every single

452
00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:43.200
<v Speaker 1>job is duplicated throughout all of the various school districts.

453
00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:46.960
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I'll tell you one point of ridiculousness. Washington

454
00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:49.759
<v Speaker 1>State is one of many states who employ people to

455
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:53.000
<v Speaker 1>go to meetings. This is their job. They work in

456
00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:56.839
<v Speaker 1>a school district. When there's a meeting in the state capital.

457
00:25:57.079 --> 00:26:00.839
<v Speaker 1>In this case in Washington it's Olympia, that person flies

458
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:04.920
<v Speaker 1>or drives to Olympia. They attend the meeting, then they

459
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:08.000
<v Speaker 1>fly or drive back to their school district, and they

460
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:12.319
<v Speaker 1>tell the principle what happened in the meeting, a meeting

461
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:16.400
<v Speaker 1>the principle could have attended, or a meeting the principle

462
00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:21.480
<v Speaker 1>could have zoomed into. Those meeting goers now have staff,

463
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean they can't go around scheduling their own trips

464
00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:28.240
<v Speaker 1>to the state capital. This is a self mistasizing cancer.

465
00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:31.759
<v Speaker 1>The Department of Education should be eliminated, and it's an easy,

466
00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:35.640
<v Speaker 1>easy argument to make. One other thing that should be eliminated,

467
00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:39.400
<v Speaker 1>of course, is any form of public broadcasting, at least

468
00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:43.880
<v Speaker 1>the moneys for public broadcasting. This is PBS promoting what's

469
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I think fair to call a pro in excuse that word,

470
00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll say it, but Alex will make sure that the

471
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:55.160
<v Speaker 1>people on YouTube never get to hear this. Only the

472
00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:57.039
<v Speaker 1>people doing this live or on the audio cast get

473
00:26:57.079 --> 00:27:01.599
<v Speaker 1>to hear me say a pro pedophilia pioneer, that's true.

474
00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:04.680
<v Speaker 1>The backing of a law that would make life easier

475
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:07.079
<v Speaker 1>for pedophiles. This is PBS.

476
00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:11.240
<v Speaker 6>The issue of transgender rights has rarely been so prominent

477
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:14.720
<v Speaker 6>in American politics, from presidential campaign ads to the election

478
00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:18.000
<v Speaker 6>of the first openly trans member of Congress to arguments

479
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:20.759
<v Speaker 6>this past week at the US Supreme Court. William Brangham

480
00:27:20.799 --> 00:27:23.559
<v Speaker 6>is back to talk with one recent pioneer about how

481
00:27:23.599 --> 00:27:25.000
<v Speaker 6>she sees this current moment.

482
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:27.279
<v Speaker 1>And by see she he means he.

483
00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:31.039
<v Speaker 7>My guest is no stranger to both the triumphs and

484
00:27:31.079 --> 00:27:35.400
<v Speaker 7>the vitriol surrounding transgender rights in America. Two years ago,

485
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:39.240
<v Speaker 7>Lee Thinking became the first transperson elected to the Minnesota

486
00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:40.119
<v Speaker 7>state legislatures.

487
00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:42.160
<v Speaker 1>To be clear, again, they're talking about a man.

488
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:46.079
<v Speaker 7>And even though she endured numerous threats, she leveraged her

489
00:27:46.079 --> 00:27:50.720
<v Speaker 7>position and a Democratic majority to help pass legislation protecting

490
00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:52.920
<v Speaker 7>other trans people in her state.

491
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:55.519
<v Speaker 1>So called trans people like you're about to hear.

492
00:27:55.720 --> 00:27:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Lee.

493
00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:58.240
<v Speaker 7>Think he's so nice to have you on the program.

494
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:01.400
<v Speaker 7>As I said, you've been in office almost two years now.

495
00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:05.319
<v Speaker 7>But this is a seemingly very fraught time for trans

496
00:28:05.400 --> 00:28:08.240
<v Speaker 7>rights in this country, with this past election and all

497
00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:11.279
<v Speaker 7>of those attacks, the first openly trans member of the

498
00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:15.000
<v Speaker 7>US Congress, and now the Supreme Court case this week.

499
00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:17.559
<v Speaker 1>I just wonder how this is. How has this been

500
00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:19.039
<v Speaker 1>for you the last few months.

501
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:21.359
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, it's been a lot, and you know, thank you

502
00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:23.960
<v Speaker 8>so much for inviting me in for having trans voices

503
00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:27.960
<v Speaker 8>on your show. I think what we have seen over

504
00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:29.720
<v Speaker 8>the last couple of months, I mean it is a

505
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:34.440
<v Speaker 8>compounding pile of difficulty for our community that is very

506
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:37.599
<v Speaker 8>small that we receive so much outside attention.

507
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:40.559
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's the most powerful community in America as well.

508
00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:42.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's small and it's the most powerful community

509
00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:45.279
<v Speaker 1>in America, the only community in America that can get

510
00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:47.519
<v Speaker 1>you fired for refusing to pretend along with them.

511
00:28:47.640 --> 00:28:50.599
<v Speaker 8>Given the impact and size that we have in the

512
00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:54.480
<v Speaker 8>communities that we exist in, we're struggling. We're all struggling,

513
00:28:54.559 --> 00:28:58.599
<v Speaker 8>and no, there's no struggle trying to figure out what

514
00:28:58.720 --> 00:28:59.759
<v Speaker 8>all of this is going to mean.

515
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:04.599
<v Speaker 7>You were here while the Supreme Court was arguing this case.

516
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:08.160
<v Speaker 7>That case centered around Tennessee's attempt to ban trans care

517
00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:10.279
<v Speaker 7>for trans children.

518
00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:15.599
<v Speaker 1>That Tennessee law focused on preventing children from having irreversible

519
00:29:15.839 --> 00:29:17.480
<v Speaker 1>wrong sex hormones and surgery.

520
00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:21.799
<v Speaker 7>And the justices had a lot of different arguments about

521
00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:24.559
<v Speaker 7>that case, and I wonder, listening to what they had

522
00:29:24.559 --> 00:29:26.000
<v Speaker 7>to say, what stood out to you?

523
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:28.960
<v Speaker 8>I mean, what stood out to me is that we

524
00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:33.000
<v Speaker 8>are trying to figure out a very complicated answer to

525
00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:36.359
<v Speaker 8>a very simple question, which is that gender affirming care

526
00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:41.039
<v Speaker 8>is healthcare, and healthcare decisions belong to families.

527
00:29:40.559 --> 00:29:46.240
<v Speaker 1>And platitudes platitudes. Cutting a gash between a boy's leg

528
00:29:46.279 --> 00:29:48.920
<v Speaker 1>is healthcare. It's a wound that will never heal, that's healthcare.

529
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:52.759
<v Speaker 1>Cutting a girl's breasts off so she can never breastfeed

530
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:58.359
<v Speaker 1>a baby is healthcare. So why was that person called

531
00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:02.880
<v Speaker 1>a pro how to fill a pioneer Well, NewsBusters reminds

532
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:06.799
<v Speaker 1>us that Lee Finkey, that man pretending to be a woman,

533
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:14.519
<v Speaker 1>backed an act in Congress that would strip language from

534
00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:18.319
<v Speaker 1>this law and therefore make it easier for people who

535
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:20.920
<v Speaker 1>want to inflict their sexual desires in the bodies of children.

536
00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:25.640
<v Speaker 1>This is the language they wanted included. Sexual orientation does

537
00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:29.200
<v Speaker 1>not include a physical or sexual attachment to children by

538
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:32.079
<v Speaker 1>an adult. This is part of the so called Take

539
00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:39.559
<v Speaker 1>Pride Act. It's setting the groundwork, or making a heterophilic

540
00:30:39.640 --> 00:30:45.759
<v Speaker 1>view a sexual orientation that's being promoted by that person's

541
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:48.680
<v Speaker 1>presence on PBS. I mean, he didn't talk about it there,

542
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:53.799
<v Speaker 1>but he promotes it on PBS using your tax money. Now, incidentally,

543
00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:56.200
<v Speaker 1>this week, we're going to be talking in some detail

544
00:30:56.599 --> 00:30:59.960
<v Speaker 1>about the lawsuits in Los Angeles. A woman named Clem

545
00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:02.920
<v Speaker 1>who's now twenty years old, is suing one of the

546
00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:08.119
<v Speaker 1>nation's most famous so called gender docs, doctor Joanna Olsen Kennedy.

547
00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:13.200
<v Speaker 1>I have some very distinct and very clear, and you

548
00:31:13.319 --> 00:31:17.799
<v Speaker 1>might even say pungent thoughts about this so called doctor.

549
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:20.200
<v Speaker 1>We're going to be featuring that on our substack channel

550
00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:22.480
<v Speaker 1>this week. If you haven't yet subscribed, go to The

551
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Todd Herman Show dot substack dot com. And I think

552
00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:28.279
<v Speaker 1>you're going to learn a whole lot about this lawsuit

553
00:31:28.519 --> 00:31:31.599
<v Speaker 1>and about this woman, including seeing what I think is

554
00:31:31.640 --> 00:31:35.720
<v Speaker 1>the first ever interview with Clementine that actually happened with

555
00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:38.279
<v Speaker 1>the friend of ours we've had on this program multiple times.

556
00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:41.880
<v Speaker 1>That's the Todd Herman Show dot substack dot com. There

557
00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:45.599
<v Speaker 1>should be no money going to the public broadcasting system.

558
00:31:46.039 --> 00:31:48.880
<v Speaker 1>It is a publisher with a point of view. It

559
00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:50.920
<v Speaker 1>is a distinctly an American point of view. It's a

560
00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:53.440
<v Speaker 1>point of view that seeks to destroy families. There's no

561
00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:55.519
<v Speaker 1>reason for our tax dollars to be involved in it

562
00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:58.319
<v Speaker 1>in any way. But there's some other things that we

563
00:31:58.319 --> 00:32:01.960
<v Speaker 1>should cut. One just goes to this issue of fairness.

564
00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Remember that liberals look at things through the lens of

565
00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:09.000
<v Speaker 1>compassion and fairness. We have an opportunity to out compassion

566
00:32:09.079 --> 00:32:12.440
<v Speaker 1>and out fair some of the liberals and to help

567
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:16.240
<v Speaker 1>protect our money. And we need to do this. With

568
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:19.759
<v Speaker 1>the war in Syria now supposedly at an end, and

569
00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:21.759
<v Speaker 1>meeting the new boss, who's probably likely to be the

570
00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:24.160
<v Speaker 1>same as the old boss, and Joe Biden, the figure

571
00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:26.160
<v Speaker 1>had already said We're going to give you billions of dollars.

572
00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:28.400
<v Speaker 1>So of course he is, I mean you have to

573
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:31.680
<v Speaker 1>give them money so they can buy American weapons. I mean,

574
00:32:31.720 --> 00:32:35.920
<v Speaker 1>we can't have them not having American weapons. Lakeed Martin Boeing,

575
00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:38.079
<v Speaker 1>all the big groups are going to be down there

576
00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:41.559
<v Speaker 1>arguing for this, all of the lobbyists, and yet President

577
00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Trump seems to be standing on Nope, We're not going

578
00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:46.359
<v Speaker 1>to go get into these endless wars. There's some major

579
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:49.599
<v Speaker 1>changes coming to economy. There's going to be an effort

580
00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:52.920
<v Speaker 1>to create a central bank digital currency. President Trump has

581
00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:57.119
<v Speaker 1>said not on his watch. But President Trump is surrounded

582
00:32:57.119 --> 00:33:00.920
<v Speaker 1>by people who want cryptocurrency to blow up. They want

583
00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:03.720
<v Speaker 1>it to go huge. You think Elon mus doesn't want

584
00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:06.720
<v Speaker 1>to see that mainstreamed of course he does, so does

585
00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Vivic Ramaswambi. Probably there are major changes coming to economy.

586
00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:14.559
<v Speaker 1>President Trump is really obsessed with bringing manufacturing back. He's

587
00:33:14.599 --> 00:33:17.880
<v Speaker 1>already said the pipelines are coming back. He's talking about tariffs,

588
00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:21.519
<v Speaker 1>sometimes one hundred percent or more tariffs to encourage company

589
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:25.400
<v Speaker 1>or countries to stop playing games with us. Well, this

590
00:33:25.480 --> 00:33:28.000
<v Speaker 1>all means a massive change in when you're going to

591
00:33:28.039 --> 00:33:32.920
<v Speaker 1>retire unless you can adapt. My friend Zach Abraham at

592
00:33:32.920 --> 00:33:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Bolwerck Capital Management operates this way. Number one operating rule

593
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:41.599
<v Speaker 1>is risk management. He is unbelievably obsessed with risk management.

594
00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Operating tool number two is a tactic. Bower Capital Management

595

<v Speaker 1>And Zach is a teacher at heart. He will talk

597
00:33:55.200 --> 00:34:00.519
<v Speaker 1>with you for free, no obligation, no expectations, into every

598
00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:03.119

599
00:34:03.319 --> 00:34:05.880
<v Speaker 1>your equity, your plan to retire, and he'll tell you

600
00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:08.480
<v Speaker 1>if your current account's being actively managed and that's easy

601
00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:10.559
<v Speaker 1>for him to see, and he'll talk to you about

602
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:12.880
<v Speaker 1>some ideas he might have for you. Most of all,

603
00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:17.599
<v Speaker 1>he'll tell you whether your retirement plan is actually reality

604
00:34:18.119 --> 00:34:20.840
<v Speaker 1>or dream, and they'll invite you to work with him

605
00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:24.000
<v Speaker 1>if it's a dream. Again, no obligation. Go sign up

613
00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:49.280
<v Speaker 1>the government helping you. They want you to know all

614
00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:52.519
<v Speaker 1>that stuff. See just another layer of bureaucracy that we

615
00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:57.119
<v Speaker 1>could look at cutting. Tulsi Gabbert, that's your challenges for me.

616
00:34:57.440 --> 00:35:00.719
<v Speaker 1>My most challenging aspect of Toulsi is that she follows

617
00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:04.199
<v Speaker 1>a cult leader. That worries me, the guy who leads

618
00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:07.079
<v Speaker 1>her faith as a cult leader. Is she taking orders

619
00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:09.719
<v Speaker 1>from the cult leader? I want this question answered during

620
00:35:09.719 --> 00:35:11.840
<v Speaker 1>her confirmation hearings. I want to hear her discuss this.

621
00:35:12.519 --> 00:35:14.280
<v Speaker 1>It might be that she's got a great answer. Maybe

622
00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:17.159
<v Speaker 1>she's distanced herself from the guy you've seen us discuss

623
00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:20.760
<v Speaker 1>as sermons on the program full on cult leader. Beyond that,

624
00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:22.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a lot of concern about her being

625
00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:26.440
<v Speaker 1>the Director of National Intelligence. She can surround herself with

626
00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:29.840
<v Speaker 1>smart people who understand D and I, who understand the

627
00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:32.400
<v Speaker 1>bureaucracy and want to see the bureaucracy right size in

628
00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:36.199
<v Speaker 1>terms of focus. Remember she was called the domestic terrorist

629
00:35:36.199 --> 00:35:40.840
<v Speaker 1>by this agency. Now we read this nearly one hundred

630
00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:44.480
<v Speaker 1>formal national security officials alarmed at the prospect of Gabbard

631
00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:48.360
<v Speaker 1>leading the intel community. In a letter obtained by NBC News,

632
00:35:48.599 --> 00:35:51.559
<v Speaker 1>the officials urged the Senate to carefully evaluate whether Gabbard

633
00:35:51.599 --> 00:35:55.199
<v Speaker 1>is equipped for the position, which requires Senate confirmation. It

634
00:35:55.239 --> 00:35:58.159
<v Speaker 1>was obtained I love that game to media plays. They

635
00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:00.599
<v Speaker 1>went and snuck it out of the files, obtained it.

636
00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:03.440
<v Speaker 1>It was email to them. That's how they obtained it.

637
00:36:04.360 --> 00:36:09.159
<v Speaker 1>We're back to one hundred former national security officials, none

638
00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:13.440
<v Speaker 1>of whom should have pensions. There should be no pensions

639
00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:16.960
<v Speaker 1>in Washington, d C. Whatsoever. Look, I've got a cousin

640
00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:19.360
<v Speaker 1>who works at the Social Security Administration. I'd be glad

641
00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:20.480
<v Speaker 1>to look them in the eye and say, no, you

642
00:36:20.519 --> 00:36:23.400
<v Speaker 1>should not have a pension. Why because ninety five percent

643
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:27.480
<v Speaker 1>of Americans don't. You should have the same exact retirement

644
00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:31.239
<v Speaker 1>plan as ninety five percent of Americans, So that you

645
00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:34.599
<v Speaker 1>two are beholden to four one ks and four L

646
00:36:34.679 --> 00:36:38.079
<v Speaker 1>three b's and every rule we have to play under.

647
00:36:38.599 --> 00:36:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Because government pensions are not fair playgrounds. When you control

648
00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:50.400
<v Speaker 1>trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars, you can enrich

649
00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:54.679
<v Speaker 1>your pension plan in ways. No one else can. Government

650
00:36:54.760 --> 00:36:57.880
<v Speaker 1>employees should not be paid for not working, not out

651
00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:01.760
<v Speaker 1>of active accounts. They should have to pay themselves to

652
00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:03.760
<v Speaker 1>not work the same way you and I do. That

653
00:37:03.840 --> 00:37:08.320
<v Speaker 1>would also make it somewhat less obnoxious when read headlines

654
00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:12.639
<v Speaker 1>like hundreds of former national security officials they're earning pensions

655
00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:17.119
<v Speaker 1>to help rig elections or in this case, to help

656
00:37:17.199 --> 00:37:20.320
<v Speaker 1>rig a confirmation process. You're paying them to do that

657
00:37:20.880 --> 00:37:25.480
<v Speaker 1>if they retired with pensions. There's a Senator named Mark

658
00:37:25.559 --> 00:37:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Queen Mullen who went on to talk about the nomination

659
00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:33.400
<v Speaker 1>of Pete Hegseth on CNN. He also is, of course

660
00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:35.519
<v Speaker 1>being attacked by people with pensions.

661
00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:39.440
<v Speaker 9>What he was describing is what most combat veterans have faced,

662
00:37:39.800 --> 00:37:42.760
<v Speaker 9>and for the media to go after him and start

663
00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:45.559
<v Speaker 9>describing that as a drinking problem is individuals that doesn't

664
00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:48.280
<v Speaker 9>understand combat veterans because they've never been there. They've never

665
00:37:48.320 --> 00:37:50.480
<v Speaker 9>been in combat. They've never seen the horrific stuff that

666
00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:52.639
<v Speaker 9>comes by that. They've never tasted the dirt in their mouth,

667
00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:55.559
<v Speaker 9>they've never heard the horrible sounds in their ears. They

668
00:37:55.599 --> 00:37:57.360
<v Speaker 9>never had the sites that they can't get rid of.

669
00:37:57.400 --> 00:37:59.039
<v Speaker 9>They've never had the dreams in the middle of the night,

670
00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:01.079
<v Speaker 9>and I think it's or critical for them to even

671
00:38:01.159 --> 00:38:03.480
<v Speaker 9>question that. Now, if he did have a drinking problem,

672
00:38:03.519 --> 00:38:05.320
<v Speaker 9>that would be obvious, but to make something out of

673
00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:07.920
<v Speaker 9>it that isn't there just because he's going through Secretary

674
00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:10.039
<v Speaker 9>of Defense. The media should be ashamed of themselves. They

675
00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:11.760
<v Speaker 9>should put their selves in their shoes and every other

676
00:38:11.800 --> 00:38:14.000
<v Speaker 9>combat veteran shoes before they got there and criticizing.

677
00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:17.000
<v Speaker 10>So I have done a lot of coverage of veterans

678
00:38:17.039 --> 00:38:19.039
<v Speaker 10>and a lot of coverage of combat, and while I

679
00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:21.199
<v Speaker 10>have never worn the uniform, I think I do have

680
00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:25.360
<v Speaker 10>an understanding of the need of our valiant troops when

681
00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:29.119
<v Speaker 10>they come home to self medicate. What I'm saying is,

682
00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:32.039
<v Speaker 10>when you're talking about drinking at ten in the morning,

683
00:38:32.599 --> 00:38:33.960
<v Speaker 10>that's a drinking problem.

684
00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:37.480
<v Speaker 9>Now, it doesn't mean that there's there's a lot of

685
00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:41.800
<v Speaker 9>politicians that have a drinking problem, Jake of Yes, of course,

686
00:38:41.920 --> 00:38:44.280
<v Speaker 9>But I guess my question is yeah, and then there's

687
00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:46.480
<v Speaker 9>probably a lot of media that has a drinking problem too.

688
00:38:47.119 --> 00:38:49.280
<v Speaker 1>And now I don't drink. I never, I haven't.

689
00:38:49.599 --> 00:38:51.800
<v Speaker 9>I haven't tasted alcohol in many, many, many years, and

690
00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:55.079
<v Speaker 9>never have drink at all in my life really, and

691
00:38:56.760 --> 00:38:59.039
<v Speaker 9>so I really don't understand that. But there's a lot

692
00:38:59.079 --> 00:39:01.800
<v Speaker 9>of alcohol that flows through Washington DC on a regular basis,

693
00:39:01.800 --> 00:39:05.039
<v Speaker 9>and I wouldn't say that people are alcoholics or or

694
00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:06.679
<v Speaker 9>they have a drinking problem because of that.

695
00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:10.000
<v Speaker 1>I I don't. I don't see it at all. Are

696
00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:14.480
<v Speaker 1>we the only ones who watched Nancy Pelosi stumble nearly

697
00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:19.159
<v Speaker 1>up to the microphones clearly lit? And there's a whole

698
00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:23.039
<v Speaker 1>school of thought around Kamala Harris being clearly lit. And incidentally,

699
00:39:23.480 --> 00:39:27.880
<v Speaker 1>there are wet bars and ceremonial offices in Washington, d C.

700
00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I've seen them. It's a whiskey at noontown. And the

701
00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:35.800
<v Speaker 1>incident is I understand that the ten am incident happened

702
00:39:35.880 --> 00:39:39.079
<v Speaker 1>after a filming at Fox News, but they've been talking

703
00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:43.119
<v Speaker 1>about beers and apparently hag Seth helped himself to some

704
00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:47.920
<v Speaker 1>shock and awe. Sure is there's some proof that he's

705
00:39:47.960 --> 00:39:50.360
<v Speaker 1>an alcoholic that's affected as work. He doesn't show up

706
00:39:50.360 --> 00:39:52.679
<v Speaker 1>for work, he shows up drunk. None of that has happened.

707
00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:55.800
<v Speaker 1>So heg Seth is being targeted by people with love

708
00:39:55.880 --> 00:39:59.679
<v Speaker 1>with with pensions, lobbyists who contribute to the pensions of

709
00:39:59.679 --> 00:40:03.320
<v Speaker 1>these p people and the need to not really need

710
00:40:03.360 --> 00:40:05.880
<v Speaker 1>the pensions, because if there's a think tanks, et cetera,

711
00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:07.880
<v Speaker 1>all of that should be blown up by the Department

712
00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:11.280
<v Speaker 1>of Governor efficiency. This last one, to me is the topper.

713
00:40:11.960 --> 00:40:13.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's not the most important of them, but

714
00:40:13.719 --> 00:40:16.719
<v Speaker 1>it's the easiest topper. Luke Rosiak from The Daily Wire

715
00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:20.719
<v Speaker 1>reports the Social Security Administration just spent one hundred and

716
00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:23.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty million dollars renovating its massive headquarters. And there's a

717
00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:27.559
<v Speaker 1>picture of it, but the building is ninety one percent unused.

718
00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:30.360
<v Speaker 1>And figure had Biden just signed an agreement giving them

719
00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:34.000
<v Speaker 1>work from home throughout the Trump administration, even though Biden

720
00:40:34.079 --> 00:40:36.840
<v Speaker 1>uses twenty twenty two State of the Union speech to

721
00:40:36.880 --> 00:40:39.239
<v Speaker 1>say workers must come back to the office to be productive.

722
00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:44.960
<v Speaker 1>So how about this sell that place? Make the people

723
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:47.639
<v Speaker 1>the Social Security Administration sue, I mean, who could afford that?

724
00:40:47.840 --> 00:40:51.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Intel, maybe one of the new AI

725
00:40:51.239 --> 00:40:53.440
<v Speaker 1>companies that the government has selected to be one of

726
00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:56.679
<v Speaker 1>the three companies that are going to allow to succeed and

727
00:40:57.199 --> 00:41:00.679
<v Speaker 1>take Social Security Administration employees and distribute them throughout the country,

728
00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:03.639
<v Speaker 1>take away the pensions, distribute them about the country. They

729
00:41:03.639 --> 00:41:06.400
<v Speaker 1>don't all need to work in Washington, DC. They can

730
00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:10.159
<v Speaker 1>work in Dubuque, Iowa, and Bozeman, Montana, and Spokane, Washington,

731
00:41:10.639 --> 00:41:13.639
<v Speaker 1>and in the panhandle of Idaho all around the country.

732
00:41:14.280 --> 00:41:16.719
<v Speaker 1>Do that with every federal office. You know what, You're

733
00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:19.960
<v Speaker 1>going to have a whole bunch of people self deporting

734
00:41:20.039 --> 00:41:22.840
<v Speaker 1>out of federal service because they'll no longer be earning

735
00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:25.639
<v Speaker 1>the three to four times the money the taxpayers do.

736
00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:31.079
<v Speaker 1>Because can combinate with the move is a shift and salary,

737
00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:34.000
<v Speaker 1>you'll be earning the same amount of money the average

738
00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:38.840
<v Speaker 1>employee with your level of work earns. There's a lot

739
00:41:38.840 --> 00:41:40.880
<v Speaker 1>that we could do. One of the other things that

740
00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:44.239
<v Speaker 1>we could do is remember this. If you sit at

741
00:41:44.280 --> 00:41:48.119
<v Speaker 1>home like I do, and carp about the government like

742
00:41:48.199 --> 00:41:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I do, and you don't have your attention squarely focus

743
00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:56.480
<v Speaker 1>on your primary ministry, well you're not helping. I mean,

744
00:41:56.519 --> 00:42:02.280
<v Speaker 1>it's fun sport. Remember this. Our primary r responsibility is

745
00:42:02.320 --> 00:42:06.280
<v Speaker 1>to take care of the relationship between ourselves and God,

746
00:42:06.679 --> 00:42:10.159
<v Speaker 1>our abiding From that then our home sphere. Are we

747
00:42:10.239 --> 00:42:12.239
<v Speaker 1>being the leaders in our homes that God has called

748
00:42:12.320 --> 00:42:14.639
<v Speaker 1>us to be. We're being the servant leaders we're called

749
00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:17.599
<v Speaker 1>to be that extending then into our neighborhoods, and people

750
00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:20.920
<v Speaker 1>that we have contact with our churches, in our church communities,

751
00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:26.599
<v Speaker 1>that a focused approach on that in this nation will

752
00:42:26.679 --> 00:42:29.480
<v Speaker 1>drive a whole lot of change, because as the Holy

753
00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Spirit begins to reign in us, we're going to see

754
00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:33.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot more clearly the corruption in DC, and we'll

755
00:42:33.880 --> 00:42:36.320
<v Speaker 1>be able to send a lot more godly people back

756
00:42:36.360 --> 00:42:39.519
<v Speaker 1>there who can actually make changes like this. May God

757
00:42:39.559 --> 00:42:43.800
<v Speaker 1>help Elon Musk and Vivic Ramaswami in getting this all done,

758
00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:46.760
<v Speaker 1>because God has said, do not lord your power over others.

759
00:42:47.679 --> 00:42:49.679
<v Speaker 1>This is the Todd Hermann Show. Please go, be well,

760
00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:52.760
<v Speaker 1>be strong, be kind, and please make every effort to

761
00:42:52.840 --> 00:43:04.280
<v Speaker 1>walk in the light of Christ.
