Speaker 1: Welcome to the Three Stories version of The Todd Herman Show.
Story number one the Spiritual War in America over the
war in Iran are faith and flag segments. Story number
two Milania Trump pimps a creepy cold future for American
families are faith in family segments. And story number three
what are detachment brokers? Also a faith and family segment.
We'll talk about all of this with the help of
God Almighty.
Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one percent disapproved by big
pharma technocrats in tyrone sebrianware from the high mountains of
Free America. Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman.
Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made in These
are the times through which God has decided she'll live.
I'm amazed at the operational details of what our troops
have been doing in Iran, and I am thankful they're
on our side. And I want us not to lose
the spiritual war, because the kinetic war is ongoing. I
don't want us to lose the spiritual war, and there's
tons of ways to lose the spiritual war, which is permanent.
You lose that war, you've lost permanently. So we can
do both things. We can celebrate our troops, we can
ask tough questions about the war, but we need to
look out for idols within this, and we need to
look out for emotions that are not godly because it's
easy to come by when you're in a time of
war and you love your nation, and you love the
troops of your nation, and you want your country to win.
We have got to guard our hearts and minds, and
that begins by taking all thoughts captive to Christ. When
you see an enemy installation blown to bits, if you
look at that and you celebrate them, you jump up
and down and look at we just smashed them. We
just killed so many people. Just ask yourself, take a
captive to Christ. Does he celebrate the absolute destruction of
human life? Maybe there's been times where he told the
Israeli people to go and totally obliterate these people, But
did he celebrate it? He didn't intend for us to
be taking blood from one another. In fact, in Genesis,
after the first murder, God says that the very earth
cried out because human blood had been poured into it.
He considered it a grievous sin, and he marked murderers
the very first murder in Canaan Abel. Remember this so
check all spirits, take all a spirit's captives to Christ.
We can celebrate a great victory of their troops, and
we can mourn the loss of Iranian lives, particularly since
likely they never came to know Christ. We can win
the war on earth and lose the spiritual war, which
I don't want us to do. We should pray that
our troops are acting in godly ways and understand it
says you shall not murder. I don't think our troops
are murdering. I think they're killing because the civilian leadership
has told them to go kill people and break things,
and they pledge to do that, and they pledge that
many of them on a Bible. We can ask questions
like this. CNN had a fast ending piece. If you're
watching the war and observing it, this is a fast
ending piece. It's a great piece of journalism in a
way because it leaves a very very important question. Watch this.
Speaker 3: An Iranian underground missile city buried deep inside a mountain,
a show of force aimed at Iran's enemies, a contingency
plan to protect its precious arsenal from being eradicated by
massive bombardment. Dozens of these subterranean fortresses are spread across
the country. It's proof that Tehran has been preparing for
a war just like this one for years and possibly decades.
It's also from these mountain bases that Iran stores its
mobile missile launchers, taking them out firing before hiding them
back into the mountain to reload and avoid detection. The
US and Israel wants to destroy this threat.
Speaker 4: Now, these are huge battlefield achievements by the US and Israel,
heavily degrading Iran's military capability. But experts say that Iran
remains resilient and has just enough munitions to continue to
hit strategic positions such as oil and gas and civilian infrastructure.
This adds another layer of complexity and of unpredictability to
this war.
Speaker 1: Okay, CNN loves the phrase experts say, and just note
anytime you hear that, understand its propaganda because experts don't
say anything. Some people who haven't expertise in something might
have said that, but know when they say experts say,
what they want you to hear is all experts agree.
Here's the question this leaves was that footage they shot
did CNN get access to these bunkers. What did they
have to do to get inside the bunkers of a
country that right now is an expressed enemy of the
United States of America. And did they pay for that,
because there's been times that journalists have paid for access
like that. Or perhaps it's just video that Iran shot
and that's probably more likely. But these are questions that
we should ask. We should also ask this when we
see that Iran has been preparing for war and we
see that they've got these underground missile capabilities. Do they
not have the responsibility to protect their citizens. I want
our side to win. We're going to win. I think
that the Mollahs and shead Islams have done horrible things
to the Persian people. I think that they stand against Christ,
overtly against Christ. Did they intend to take Christians out?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 1: May we win this war by also showing the face
of God to the Persian people. May we win this
by doing everything we can to avoid civilian casualties because
we're three nations. One that contends to be a Christian nation, Islam,
which stands against us, and then the Jewish nation, the
Israeli nation state that stands apart from the Jewish people.
They're not the same thing. They also don't know Christ.
So yes, we can be sad, and we should be
every time an Israeli life is taken. Should we be
more sad? When Israeli lives are taken? I mean there
are ally so should we be more sad? Is God
more sad? That's an important spiritual question, and we should
not build idols. We could look at what the Iranian
nation state has done and the Mullahs and the fact
that they go out and kill protesters forty thousand at
a time, that they imprison women in cloth bags. We
can look at the fact that they have no free speech,
et ceter that they've destroyed Iran, and we can compare
that to the nation state Israel that would do those things.
Praise God, they don't do those things. But we also
have to be able to critique them. We have to
be able to give our view on how these nation
states are treating the region. We have to ask for
godly behavior from the people we partner with, even in
the case of Israelis many of whom who do not
know God. Because if you don't know Jesus, you don't
know God. So let's not create an idol of No,
the Israeli Nations State can't do anything wrong in warfare. No,
there's very often wrong done in warfare. Very often people
go within their flesh and move outside of what are
the realms of legal warfare. When we see this, we
must call it out. We cannot be party to it,
because it would first of all, put our souls at
jeopardy and the souls of our troops, not to mention
the souls of the people doing these things. We can
be fierce warriors, and we can put our feet on
the ground of God's word, and we must do that.
My friend Tim Krueake knows more about war than most
people are ever going to learn. He did three deployments
to the Middle East. He has fought in places he
can't talk about. I've confirmed he's talked in place. He's
fought in places he still can't discuss because of what
the DD would do to him. He's been in the
Middle East three times. He's fought wars in Babylon, He's
met the Persian people, and I talked with him about
his view of the war and where it stands. Tim
is a founder and CEO of a coffee company called
bone Frog Coffee, and I'll show you what he said
here in just a second. I haven't gotten Tim to
go with me yet, but we've got some mutual friends
to go down to Mexico to renewst Healthcare. One of
them to avoid surgery that was super successful. He's back
on the golf course killing it. Another one was my
friend's wife. She couldn't pick up her little two three
year old grand baby without getting this insane back pain
and then days of fatigue. That's over. She's also a golfer,
back to killing it. Another one of my friends is
a golfer. I'm the only known. It's not the golfer.
He can't really use his left hand. Not well. Guys
in Alwa's eighty and he can drive a golf ball
tw hundred and sixty yards. Who does that? This guy?
But he can't use his left hand. He's going back
down to renew. So, whether you're trying to avoid surgery
or heal it from a quicker, or you're going to
invest in their anti aging protocol, which is what I'm
going to do. Next time I'm down, go check out
renew dot Healthcare. It's r e n ue dot Healthcare.
Simply tell them what's going on with you, and they
can tell you if it's something that they can help correct.
It's renew r E, n U E DOT healthcare. I
talked to sim Krukshank, former Navy seal, about President Trump's
approach to this war.
Speaker 5: You know, when I saw that President Trump did this,
I'm happy because I think somebody finally had the intestinal
fortitude to do this. And when you look back over
what he's done, it all started with Panama Canal. It
has it's multi layered, and we talked about this a
little bit. It's multi layered in the fact that he's
trying to take back the western hemisphere. I think when
people first listened to him talking about the Panama Canal
and the Chinese control, they thought he was a little crazy.
But looking back on it, you know, he went down there,
we built the canal, we took back control, and he
went to Greenland taking over control of the northern Hemisphere,
which was super important, you know, militarily and tactically, then
taking out Maduro and China's control of Venezuela and in
that area, and now moving on to Iran and stopping
arguably one of the most important things that he could
have done for stopping not only the Chinese control and
Russian control of oil, but the largest funding of terrorism
in the world.
Speaker 1: Sotem's a big, big fan as a Navy seal retired
to three deployments over there, a President Trump's approach to
this fantastic. We can be and we could also pray
for President Trump that he's not miss led by heretics,
like his spiritual advisor PAULA. White. Why because it cout
him at risk and our troops at risk, not just
on the battlefield, but their souls. We must have a
godly view of this war. Let's win the war for sure.
Our troops are already doing that. Let's win the spiritual war,
the eternal war. On Tim's coffee company bags, they all say, God,
Country Team. I know him to be an empathetic and
a compassionate man, a godly man who seeks to do
what's right in a Godly sense. But let's not make
empathy into an idol. Let's not let empathy become toxic.
Tim talked about this is.
Speaker 5: My belief and how I feel. Is there something in
our country called toxic empathy? We see this on the
left where they I don't know, God bless and they
see the best in people. The last four years under
the Biden administration, where they started letting in tens of
millions of people coming across their southern border without vetting them,
they let in a lot of a lot of people
with really bad intentions. And those people are here now.
They did it for the sole purpose of keeping or
gaining control through fraudulent elections, and we can get into
that later. But the problem is they let in people
that want to do us harm. The terrorist cells are here,
they are controlled by the Iranian regime. My belief is,
and we've seen this before, that there will be attacks
in this country, and right after the initial launches in March,
we've seen progressions of of small terrorist attacks on airplanes
or mass murders.
Speaker 1: And Tim is cautioning us to not let empathy become
an idol. We have a nation. We've been given much
to who much is given, much is expected. We have
some people in our country who are profoundly, ungodly, profoundly Antichrist.
Not the Antichrist, but Antichrist, and we should have enough
bravery to call these things out and to have enough
bravery as a nation to say we're sorry that you
were ever let in. You shouldn't have been because you
clearly mean our nation harm. We're going to send you home.
We can even do that in the compassionate way. If
they don't want to go home voluntarily and we arrest them,
we can be compassionate while we do that. What we
need to do is make sure that we win this war,
because we're in it and these people are willing to
lay down their lives for their brothers, Praise God, no
greater love has man. But just make sure that they
are not caused to lay down their souls. Let's make
sure that we fight this war in a godly sense.
Story number two Milania Trump pimps a creepy cold future
for families, our faith and family segments. Someone somewhere in
the White House had the craziest idea, this will look
so cool. Let's do a thing that's going to be
so cool, and Peter Thiel's gonna love it, and Mark
Zuckerberg don't love it, and people like me who voted
for President Trump are looking at this going, Oh, dear
Lord in heaven, you have jumped the shark. Congratulations Trump administration.
If you don't know the reference. This was the end
of a show called Hot Happy Days back in the day,
where the lead character Phonsie went from being a motorcycle
riding suggested thug and he kind of matured with the show,
which is kind of cool, and he always had sort
of cool. And then he wore a leather jacket while
water skiing, nowhere near Milwaukee where they were from. It
was out in Los Angeles, and he jumped a shark
swimming around the water because back in the seventy sharks
are big deal. Where is leather jacket did not spill
in the water because he's Fonsie. The show is over.
It could never again be believable. And now the Trump
administration has done this. They have had their jump the
shark moment. But it's worse than that. It's not jumped
the shark. It's something else that comes from classic literature.
I will tell you what it is, classic history. I
will tell you what it is. And yes, I'm still
supporting President Trump as much as I can, but this
thing is a terrible moment. And it happened because of money.
This happened because President Trump has surrounded himself with people
like Larry Ellison, and Mark Zuckerberg, who, by the way,
tried to take President Trump out in the election. Do
you remember this. He's surrounding with them himself, with people
like that on his Technology Council. Obviously, this is money,
and money is important for all of us. If you
ever want to retire, I hope that you'll get with
my friend Zach Abraham for his free live webinar coming
up April twenty sixth at three thirty Pacific. He's going
to talk about people like Zuckerberg and Ellison what they
intend to do with AI to change our economy forever.
Is going to factor in risk things like the war light,
gas prices, et cetera, and they'll tell you what's likely
to happen. He's not a soussayer, but I'll also tell
you why Bulwark is so good during times of volatility.

in the Trump administration where they've jumped the chark. Malania
Trump came walking out of the back room, walking next
to robot. She wore all white. It was white. They
saved some black on it. They walk side by side,
and then Marlania Trump was caused and maybe she obviously
agreed to do this. She was caused to come out
and read a lifeless speech from a life lifeless piece
of paper next to a lifeless robot that was then
going to pretend to be alive. This is much worse
than jumping the shark.
Speaker 6: Imagine a humanoid educator named Plato. Access to the classical
studies is now instantaneous literature, science, art, philosophy, mathematics, and history.
Humanity's entire corpus of information is available in the comfort
of your home.
Speaker 1: Already is already is Oh, by the way, she didn't
mention the Bible that's also available, but she continued the
lifeless speech.
Speaker 6: Plato will provide a personalized experience.
Speaker 1: No, it won't. It's a robot.
Speaker 6: It's not personalized, adaptive to the needs of each student.
Plato is always paid and always available.
Speaker 1: Plato is not patients. It is a thing. It has
no patience because it has no emotion. What I see
here is far worse than jumping the shark and just
truth be told. This is literally the first time I've
ever seen Melania speak. I really don't make a habit
out of watching what first ladies do.
Speaker 6: Predictably, our children we develop deep critical thinking and independent
reasoning abilities.
Speaker 1: Okay, I can't even continue this. Plato learned his craft
from Socrates. Socrates taught by asking questions, Socratic inquiry. It
was Socrates's theory that we all know things, we just
don't know that by asking questions he can help you
unveil what you already know. Interactive Plato is the same thing.
Kids are going to be taught by robots. They're going
to be taught that they don't matter. They're going to
be taught that things are more important than parents. It's
what really gets me about this is this is let
them eat cake. Gas prices are skyrocketing, we are in
a war, our cities are being torn apart. We've got
criminal gangs at President Trump's done a great job of
trying to get out of the country. But we're going
to talk about robots. But here's What really gets me
the first lady herself didn't even open this thing. The
robot did.
Speaker 6: I think your three and you always built in the
United States of America.
Speaker 2: I am grateful to be part of the historic movement
and powerful yar with technology and education.
Speaker 1: It is not grateful. It is software and hardware. It
cannot be grateful. So you got your ten dollars gas.
We can't pass the Save Act to have actual safe
and secure elections, to make sure only citizens are voting.
We can't get that done. We've still got deep state
operatives doing deep state things. We've got a war. It
looks like boots on the ground. But hey, look, everybody
a robot that pretends to care about you. What really
concerns me here is I feel like that Trump administration
has actually, for the first time, truly lost track of Americans.
Story number three, What are detachment brokers? Have you ever
heard the phrase detachment broker? What are they do? Such
a thing exists? Detachment brokers is a new phrase that
a friend of mine has helped champion, and it's about
a dynamic in our country that enough people are unaware
of that they do not see the signs of it
all around us. I'm going to show you a video
of the ultimate detachment broker, and then we'll dig into
this a little bit because it's important that you understand
this is actually being taught in circles that matter to you,
particularly if mental health is important to you. It's vitally
important that you understand that this is sort of the
ultimate attachment broker. What you're seeing is a scene outside
of a hospital room in Barcelona. You see someone going
back and forth, walking across this back and forth. What
they're doing is they're gathered outside the room of a
woman who is only twenty five years old. Her name
is Noella Castillo Ramos, and she's had a tragic thing
happened in her life, a series of tragedies. She was
taken from her family because they'd had some problems financial
and otherwise, and she was put into a facility where
she was apparently sexually assaulted by gangs of men. And
there's various beliefs about where these men were from. Some
people say they were legal immigrants. That's never been proven,
by the way, but the men apparently were never punished.
After this horrible experience, this woman became suicidal and had
attempted to take her her own life by jumping out
of a five story window. So the country of Spain
is going to euthanize her at twenty five because she's struggling.
At one time, Spain was a Catholic country. At one
time it was a Christian country where we'd bring into
this the body of Christ and do what we can
to help this young woman. And she should continue to
get help to take her life at the age of
twenty five, and she's asked for this that Christ is
very clear, as you treat the least of these, so
you treat me. Christ is very clear, you shall not murder.
Suicide is murder. It doesn't mean, by the way, if
you love someone who committed suicide, that doesn't mean they've
gone to hell, because we do not serve a God
who puts you in hell for your last and final mistake.
If you've been abiding with the Lords and you know
Him and you've been sanctified and you make a horrible mistake,
he's not crouching in the corner saying, oh, got yeah,
you're going to hell. That doesn't happen. That's not who
Jesus is. So this is the ultimate detachment brokering a
technocratic medical state, creating a permanent divorce between this woman
and her parents and anyone who loves her. And the
people pacing back and forth simply want her to know
she's not alone. They're hoping she will not follow through
on this. So detachment brokers, what are they? Well, I'll
show you in a second, but I also want to
get through another example of the ultimate attempt at detachment brokering.
This woman lives in Canada.
Speaker 2: And.
Speaker 1: I want to show you example of actual detachment brokering.
This is a liberal woman and she's decided to skip
her ninety year old grandmother's birthday. And can you guess why?
Because of politics, Because she can't stand how the woman votes,
so she's decided to skip her birthday. There are a
lot of people who are encouraging this. We've had politicians
encourage this. Listen to this young woman.
Speaker 7: I know we usually laughed through the being here, and
I am I always will, But today I'm missing my
ninety year old grandma's birthday because I don't have the
brain chemistry anymore to be in the room with people
who like not only ignore what's happening in the world,
but also like cheering on like I just can't. I
was raised to like just normalize it, like that's your family,
just sit across the table and like pretend like they're
not psychos. But like, I cannot do it. I really can't.
And I'm the only one apparently in my family on
both sides. I cannot do it. I cannot do It
makes me sick to my stomach, like it really does.
It's biological. It's like being born gay, like I am
born disgusted by bigot like I just cannot.
Speaker 1: I cannot.
Speaker 7: Yeah, if you're going to justify treating humans like animals,
I can't do it. And I can't even bring myself
to do it for my grandma's birthday. No, I feel bad.
Speaker 1: You should. You should feel horrible because you're being a
horrible person and you have been falling for detachment brokery.
You can't be in a room with your family members
because they disagree with you on how they vote. In
a two party system, and I guarantee you they could
go one for one with you, right back and forth
on horrible things they've seen you say treating people like animals.
They could say, oh, you mean like when we put
babies down? No, No, No, No, they're clumps of cells
and other human beings. Well that's just one example. But no,
we're talking about people, adult people being separated from their families.
Oh do you mean like when people are sent to
war because we've allowed a terrorist regime to metastasize for
the past twenty five years and we've been we've been
afraid to go take victory. So in this case, we're
going to allow these families not to be separate for ever. No,
but that's not a fair example. They could go tip
for tat on anything politics, because the nation is run
by falling people, because we're all fallen people and good things.
She's against bigotry, but she can't be in rooms with
people who disagree with her because she's so against bigotry.
My friend Jennifer Crohne wrote a piece at her sub stack.
It's linked in the show notes. She writes this detachment
brokers is a term coined by sociologist Alison Pugh to
describe those who discourage connection in families. These brokers, who
might be therapists, coaches, social media influencers, or friends, say
that rejecting one's family is a positive move that will
allow an individual to focus on happiness, growth, and autonomy.
They say it will free the individual from family obligations, duties,
and responsibilities. These brokers focus on the individual and minimize
the importance of family or the collective. For families with
an abusive parent, detaching might be an appropriate measure for
one's protection from malicious behavior. If parents harm or neglect
their children, or overbearing or too involved, distancing is warranted
to gain safety and autonomy. However, an alarming trend is
occurring in which certain online groups, as well as some educators, therapists,
and influencers, diagnosed parents whom they've never met. They labeled
overgeneralized parents, categorizing them as outdated and obsolete, simplest simplistic
depictions of parents as emotionally immature, or another diminishing ebjective dujure,
pardon me adjective to judior do not recognize or address
the complexity of familiar relationships, the unique history, or the
humanity of mothers and fathers. She's talking about therapists who
engage in something called reparenting. They encounter an adult or
as soon to be adult client, and they nailed down
that all the problems came because mom and dad for instance,
took you to church. This has happened to friends of
mine who are demonstrably good parents, who until other kids
got into the mid twenties, recognize they grew up in
a blessed home, recognized they had loving mothers and fathers,
recognized that they were given much college educations, down payments
on homes, trips around the world, and a family where
they never hurt for foods, where dad worked and provided,
but always made time to start days at home to
end days at home where they always gathered around the
kitchen table for dinner. That was sacro sank that time
where each of those kids got one on one time
with a parent, despite the fact that there were seven kids.
Until they were in their mid twenties, these kids all
recognized we come from a blessed home. And then they
hit their mid twenties, and in their mid twenties they
discovered the worlds they had been in college and were
out of college. Some of this happened while they're in
college seeking master's degrees, and they could not square how
they were raised with what the world expected. Because everyone
else else is going to raves, everyone else's experimenting with sexuality,
everyone else has some other view of this or that
form of sexuality. And these kids experimented, as young people
will do, and in experimenting then they discovered, hey, that
felt good, but they had confusion in their mind. I
was raised one way. This felt very good. Instead of
going to their parents and saying, hey, you know what,
that was actually physically thrilling, which their parents could say, no, kidding.
Sex tends to be physically thrilling, and that's not how
you were raised. It's not God's plan. And just because
you did it once doesn't define you, or even twice
or three times, it does not define you. You can
turn back from this. You can turn away your fleshly desires.
You can allow Jesus to answer the picture. You can
now the Holy Spirit to re sanctify. Jesus is anxious
to take you back. All of us can fall for this.
All of us are prone to sin and prone to
letting our flesh take over. They didn't do that that.
They sought therapy, and in these cases they met therapists
who engaged in something called reparenting. And the parents told
are the therapist said, the only reason you feel guilty
because you had quote religiously obsessed parents religiously obsessed. So
the therapists offered to reparent two people in their mid twenties.
So they jettisoned the role of therapists, took on the
role of parent. Why don't you come to our house
for dinner? Why did you come to our house for Thanksgiving?
Will be your new parents? And at the same time,
why don't you go and foster these relationships and choose
your own family. You don't need to have biological parents
have parents. You can choose better parents. So who are
the better parents? They're the ones who are saying, follow
your flesh. If it feels good, it can't be bad.
Detachment brokers can be teachers, they can be social workers
in therapy they're reparenting, or they can be an next
door neighbor. And so often at social media, and in fact,
even more often these days, it's Ai that is telling
young people it's probably a better idea that you separate
from your family. Question who created the family unit, the
same one who created all of us, God Almighty, And
in that we should take a long pause before we
separate ourselves from something God created. This is the Todd
Hermit Shaw. Please go be well, be strong, be kind,
and please make every effort to walk in the light
of Christ.
