Here's the Emerald City exime Todd to her Many. 16 00:01:10,239 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made, and these 17 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:19,920 are the times through which God has decided. This is 18 00:01:20,239 --> 00:01:23,640 a segment that's going to unfold over a couple different layers. 19 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,280 We're going to start with TikTok. We're going to move 20 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,840 on to an actual journalist who may well be a leftist. 21 00:01:28,879 --> 00:01:30,879 I don't know, and I don't care because of how 22 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,680 he was treated by the State Department and the previous 23 00:01:34,719 --> 00:01:36,959 White House that run by the people who ran Joe Biden. 24 00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:40,879 We'll get to Joy Reid, who's telling the big lie, 25 00:01:43,079 --> 00:01:44,799 and I need to be very careful about how I 26 00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:49,439 talk about that because I don't want my producer, Alex, 27 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,239 who's sitting over there. I should get a camera. I 28 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,879 should get an Alex cam. So anytime I reference to you, 29 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,480 I just hit a button. There's an Alex cam. So 30 00:01:56,519 --> 00:01:59,159 I'm talking about Alex. People can see him moving around. 31 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,920 And because I don't want to pay Alex s it's 32 00:02:03,959 --> 00:02:07,439 your whole bunch of editing for the YouTube platform. If 33 00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:09,479 you're listening to this on audio, you're getting the full thing. 34 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,879 You're Washington substat geting a full thing. But because these 35 00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:15,520 things end up on YouTube, it's their platform, their publishers, 36 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,479 they get to decide what they publish. So I have 37 00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:22,840 to be very very careful how I talk about the 38 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,840 big lie with Joey Read, and very careful about a 39 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,240 video we're going to play about some big lie type 40 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,159 activity that went on in California. Now, if you would 41 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:39,639 like to have the consistent, absolutely unedited version of the show, 42 00:02:39,759 --> 00:02:43,000 that's easy. Go to the Todd Herman Show dot substack 43 00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:47,120 dot com. Become a subscriber, and you will get daily 44 00:02:47,479 --> 00:02:51,240 video content exclusive to that platform. And there I can 45 00:02:51,319 --> 00:02:54,719 cuss I use the it do that. No, it's that 46 00:02:54,759 --> 00:02:56,479 way we do it. We just get to talk about 47 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,199 these things in ways they're not to be discussed on 48 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,280 certain platforms. If you get the audio show, you're largely 49 00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:03,360 already getting that, but without the video. So go to 50 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,560 the Todd Hermer Show dot substack dot com. There's a 51 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:12,680 journalist named Sam Husseini, And I would think that if 52 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,319 this were to happen under the Trump administration, I think 53 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:21,280 that there might be a stopping of the world on 54 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:26,000 its access, all journalists everywhere jumping up and down until 55 00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:30,879 the world dropped out of its ever love and orbit. Well, 56 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,319 they screamed about press freedom. There was no such response 57 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,439 because this was a journalist asking questions, or well rather 58 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,240 trying to ask a question. During the last press conference 59 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,400 of the beleaguered corrupt Secretary of State under Figure had Biden, 60 00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:54,159 Tony Blinken, who as you recall, while we were being 61 00:03:54,199 --> 00:03:58,919 forced to fund a war that Ukraine can't win, Tony 62 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,240 Blinken went over there to play with his rock and 63 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,479 roll band. That was important. Here's an actual journalist. Look 64 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:07,520 how he's treated. 65 00:04:07,319 --> 00:04:11,719 Speaker 3: Two or three people. You are you pontificate about a 66 00:04:11,759 --> 00:04:14,439 free press. You pontificate about a free press. 67 00:04:14,599 --> 00:04:16,959 Speaker 1: So incidentally, if you're not watching the video, you have 68 00:04:17,079 --> 00:04:20,560 a three cops, one of them still for whatever reason, 69 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,680 wearing a Wolke mask, maybe just to hide his face 70 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,279 because he's embarrassed at what he's doing. They're trying to 71 00:04:25,319 --> 00:04:27,639 pull an aged man away from the table, and the 72 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,040 aged man is winning. Dude has grip strength. By the way, 73 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,600 one of the indicators of male male potency is grip strength. 74 00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:35,240 Dude is potent. 75 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 4: You're hurting me. You're hurting me. 76 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:38,759 Speaker 5: You are hurting me. 77 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 3: I am asking questions after being told by Matt Miller 78 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,839 that he will not answer my questions until I'm ask 79 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:50,199 him questions. Wasn't wasn't wasn't was it the icy wasn't 80 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,040 the point of the a the May thirty first statement 81 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,639 to block the ICJ orders. He blocked the ICJ orders. 82 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,839 You respective, I respective process perspective. 83 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 6: Process all. 84 00:05:03,079 --> 00:05:08,399 Speaker 3: Everybody, everybody from the from Amstein International, from Answer National 85 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,959 to the icy Kate saying they're just roll doing genocide 86 00:05:11,439 --> 00:05:15,000 and extermination, and you're telling me to respect the process. 87 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: Criminal, Why aren't you on the hey, why aren't I 88 00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:23,560 don't agree that Israel is committing genocide, but I agree 89 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:28,040 with that man's right to ask that question. I agree 90 00:05:28,079 --> 00:05:30,240 with the right of journalists, even if they're a leftist, 91 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,600 to ask that question and to not be wrestled away. 92 00:05:35,399 --> 00:05:39,879 I didn't see Joy Reid talk about this. I didn't 93 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,959 see anyone in the press talk about this. Frankly, I 94 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,199 don't think I saw conservative media talk about this. Maybe 95 00:05:47,199 --> 00:05:48,600 we should try to get that gentleman on the show 96 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:53,120 and let them actually make his point. Joe Reid, she's 97 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,959 about to tell the big lie, y'all, the big lie 98 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,879 that is a national security risk that if you tell 99 00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:05,360 the you are a fascist, you hate America, and you 100 00:06:05,399 --> 00:06:10,839 should just leave ladies and gentlemen from her home set. 101 00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:11,680 Joy Read. 102 00:06:11,879 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 7: They're even talking about like stealing an election, and it's 103 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,240 making me rethink whether I do believe like election machines 104 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,920 can be hack because I've always been like, you can't 105 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:22,360 hack the election machines. 106 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,519 Speaker 1: But they're like convincing me. I don't know, maybe you can. 107 00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:25,000 I don't know. 108 00:06:25,879 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 3: I mean, to me, in this world, anything as possible. 109 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 7: Maybe I'm still I mean, there are all these conspiracy 110 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,519 theories out there about Trump and whether or not they cheated. 111 00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:37,480 I know you say that they didn't. 112 00:06:37,439 --> 00:06:38,639 Speaker 4: But I know you kind of hacked. 113 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 7: I say they didn't. What I said is what I 114 00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:45,639 said is there's a there is a rational explanation for 115 00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:47,319 why Kamala Harris could. 116 00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:49,319 Speaker 1: Have lost could have lost. 117 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,199 Speaker 7: Those swing states and Trump won them. There's a way 118 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,399 you can get to those numbers with people staying home 119 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,480 or only voting for Trump and not the other rest 120 00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:59,759 of the rest of the bout. I'm saying there's a 121 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,439 his three of that. However, however, oh, let me hear it, 122 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,879 because you know what I will say is there was 123 00:07:07,079 --> 00:07:10,720 absolute voter suppression that took place, and I consider that cheating. 124 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,199 If you think about the voter law in your state 125 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,879 of Georgia, that law is anti voter with. 126 00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: That states that had record turnouts again from black voters. 127 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,199 So she cozies right up next to the big lie 128 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,360 and rubs her shoulder on the big lie is a 129 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,600 big lie. Look at my eyes, just this one time, 130 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:44,040 big lie. What if I could show you footage and 131 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,040 just so I don't spend a bunch of my own 132 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:51,079 money making Alex edit this for the tube. What if 133 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,319 I just run the footage and look at this and say, 134 00:07:53,399 --> 00:07:57,680 what we're watching? Apparently according let me just say this. 135 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,319 This is according to some silly account on Twitter, some 136 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:08,720 dude named George Belzie tweets and it's sources. It's coming 137 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,720 from an election experts. Real Joe Hoft hosted The Joe 138 00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:14,920 hoff Show weekdays one pm Eastern on Frank speech Lindell TV, 139 00:08:15,319 --> 00:08:20,560 Conservative Daily author. Okay, so these guys contend, and Alex, 140 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,319 so put my face up next to this, so I'm 141 00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:26,480 doing a critique. These guys contend. What we're watching is 142 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,839 this is what they described. Footage has been obtained of 143 00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:31,439 an election worker in Orange County, California, counting the same 144 00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:33,960 large stack of ballots three times on the evening of 145 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,600 November eighth. Republicans lost to House seat in Orange County, 146 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,159 a month after the election. By the way, we don't 147 00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:42,480 know if there's a legitimate reason for the workers' actions, 148 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,600 but the worker pushed the same batch through the machine 149 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,440 three times. The real shocker of this entire episode caught 150 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,120 on video is that all this occurred after Orange County 151 00:08:50,159 --> 00:08:53,039 received a bomb threat and before the workers removed from 152 00:08:53,039 --> 00:08:56,960 the ballot counting facility. Election fraud expert that investigator, real 153 00:08:57,039 --> 00:09:01,600 Joe hoft Is said, so they exited the building. See 154 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,279 this is where I have to be super careful. None 155 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:09,279 of this proves vote fraud. None of its just a curiosity. 156 00:09:10,279 --> 00:09:13,080 It's just curious. Yeah, I'm tapping my foot out, so 157 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,600 sue me. It's it's it's just a curiosity. Like how 158 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,000 in Georgia there was you know, everyone was gonna die 159 00:09:20,039 --> 00:09:24,919 because the building was flooding. So here's the video, and 160 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,600 let's just watch this together, just you and me. So yep, 161 00:09:28,639 --> 00:09:31,320 true enough. Woman begins counting a stack about number one. 162 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,919 There it is into the machine. She goes to her 163 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,320 phone for a bit, and keep your eyes in the pile. 164 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,799 That's already been run through the machines once, and we're 165 00:09:41,799 --> 00:09:47,720 gonna do it again. I love the music because it 166 00:09:47,759 --> 00:09:50,519 makes it more dramatic. The woman appears to grab the 167 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,480 same stack of bouts and I went through the machine once. 168 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,759 She's going looking through them and she then proceeds to 169 00:09:56,759 --> 00:09:58,799 combine it with the stack that just finished going through. 170 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:05,759 She then runs it through the machine once again. Now again, 171 00:10:05,799 --> 00:10:10,200 maybe she made a mistakes. That's tedious work. Maybe she 172 00:10:10,279 --> 00:10:15,039 made a mistake, And is it gonna happen again? I mean, 173 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,039 she couldn't possibly do the same. Wait, hold on, it 174 00:10:19,039 --> 00:10:24,120 looks like is she actually she's gonna do some maintenance 175 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:30,039 on the machine, and once she's done adjusting the machine, 176 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,360 she wants the same batch abouts through for a third time. 177 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,960 So maybe they didn't count. Maybe the count wasn't shown up. 178 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:42,000 Maybe there's an innocent explanation for this, but maybe there's not. 179 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,519 I hope that President Trump will follow through on his 180 00:10:47,639 --> 00:10:51,480 promise to demand that we have paper ballots and that 181 00:10:51,639 --> 00:10:54,000 unless there is a good and reasonable exception as to 182 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,360 why you shouldn't do that, go vote on voting day, 183 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,240 that we actually make it voting day. If only there 184 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,600 was a way to bring God's word to this, but 185 00:11:01,639 --> 00:11:05,200 there's not, because elections aren't covered through the Bible. Sorry. 186 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:11,159 Oh wait, you shall not lie, use honest weights and measures. 187 00:11:11,919 --> 00:11:14,879 Do not have a deceitful heart, molsted are those whose 188 00:11:14,919 --> 00:11:16,200 spirit contains no deceit? 189 00:11:17,159 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 2: Oh? 190 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: So there is is some biblical word about that. There 191 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,039 always is. The Bible is always useful for teaching, rebuke, 192 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:32,159 and instruction. Story number two, from tacos to semiconductor creation. 193 00:11:32,519 --> 00:11:38,120 Energy runs the entire economy. Now that seems like an 194 00:11:38,159 --> 00:11:43,039 obvious statement, but if you really observe this throughout the day, 195 00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:47,200 everything you do is related to energy costs. You know, 196 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,559 I went this morning to this gym I go to 197 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,000 and it's a massive gym. It's one of the biggest 198 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,600 footprint gyms that exist these days, and it's great, but 199 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,639 so much time. There's a pool, there's the functional area. 200 00:12:00,639 --> 00:12:04,200 They've got these great dome ceilings. There's the bro area. 201 00:12:04,519 --> 00:12:07,679 Then there's the subbro area. There's the CrossFit functional area, 202 00:12:08,159 --> 00:12:11,240 there's basketball courts. There Borca in a twenty four hour 203 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,480 fitness thing where it's not that that brand, but they're 204 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,919 going to have on demand classes. So I guess you 205 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,720 could wake up a coach at home. Hey it's three 206 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,200 o'clock in the morning, get out of bed, teach me. 207 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,600 I think it's actually be video content. If you think 208 00:12:22,639 --> 00:12:25,639 about all of that, how much power did that take? 209 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,759 How much gas did I burn getting there? Because I 210 00:12:28,759 --> 00:12:31,600 actually have to drive away from where I live and 211 00:12:31,759 --> 00:12:34,000 go to that gym, and then drive past where I live, 212 00:12:34,159 --> 00:12:37,159 and then come to the studio, and then the studio itself. 213 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,159 You can't see this, but in this studio God built 214 00:12:40,159 --> 00:12:42,720 for us, there's a great, big, huge light up here, 215 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,200 and it's I mean, it's just energy everywhere, Which is 216 00:12:47,279 --> 00:12:51,360 why what President Trump talked about during his inauguration could 217 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,360 be one of the most important measures he undertakes to 218 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,799 bring our country back. No one talks about energy more 219 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,120 often than me, and he's the guy who really drilled 220 00:13:01,159 --> 00:13:04,320 home to me how important energy is for economy. Is 221 00:13:04,399 --> 00:13:08,720 Zach Abraham, Chief investment officer Bulwer Capital Management. Zach thinks 222 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,000 differently than a lot of fiduciaries. And what does that mean. 223 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,480 By the way, a fiduciary like Zach has to put 224 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,840 our financial interest before his own ours, and that we 225 00:13:17,879 --> 00:13:20,159 invest our money with him most of it. He won't 226 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,639 let us invest at all. This says, what if I 227 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,480 have a bad year. He's that fanatical about risk management. 228 00:13:26,279 --> 00:13:30,320 Zach started doing something few years ago no one else did. 229 00:13:30,919 --> 00:13:33,440 He was looking at Oh wait, so there's all these 230 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,639 pushes to force people to convert to electric and yet 231 00:13:37,759 --> 00:13:41,919 no one is investing in small regional utilities. Well, they're 232 00:13:41,919 --> 00:13:45,000 going to get all these new customers. So he began that, 233 00:13:45,759 --> 00:13:48,879 And now you're saying, but wait, President Trump has done 234 00:13:48,919 --> 00:13:52,360 away with the EV mandate or says he's going to write. 235 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,960 Which is why Zack hedges his bets hedge upon hedge 236 00:13:56,039 --> 00:14:00,320 upon hedge because risk management. He actively manages every single 237 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,879 portfolio which can reduce risk and voltilty and can position 238 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,039 you to take advantage for a massive change to our 239 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,240 economy that's coming. So if you're five or ten, even 240 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:15,320 fifteen years from retirement, you need to know your positions 241 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,159 to take advantage of this change.

Truck twenty five Dash one oh three. President 254 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,159 Trump talking about energy and false of fuels. 255 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 6: We will bring prices down, fill our strategic reserves up 256 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,840 again right to the top, and export American energy all 257 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,159 over the world. 258 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: We will be a rich nation again. 259 00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:24,279 Speaker 6: And it is that liquid gold under our feet that 260 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,840 will help to do it. With my actions today, we 261 00:15:27,919 --> 00:15:30,919 will end the Green New Deal, and we will revoke 262 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,720 the electric vehicle mandate, saving our auto industry and keeping 263 00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:39,759 my sacred pledge to our great American auto workers. 264 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: Part of this is the changing of the guards, the 265 00:15:51,399 --> 00:15:54,639 switching of the economic focus, the acceptance of the unions 266 00:15:54,679 --> 00:15:57,000 into this new tent, which is not a conservative tent. 267 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,279 It's a populous tent. It contains of conservatism. But the 268 00:16:01,519 --> 00:16:04,519 autoworkers aren't traditionally conservative people. Well that's not true. The 269 00:16:04,559 --> 00:16:09,080 workers are not the union. Hopefully they can become red pilled. 270 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,639 Hopefully they can start to step back and look and say, wait, 271 00:16:12,679 --> 00:16:16,600 we backed a party that was that ungodly, the Democrats. 272 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:21,279 Hopefully this is also good for their souls. President Trump's 273 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:26,159 Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen, who our friend we just talked about. 274 00:16:26,279 --> 00:16:28,879 Zach is a big fan of Besson getting in this position. 275 00:16:29,799 --> 00:16:35,000 He's been talking about green energy versus non green. There's 276 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,559 really no green energy. If you know anything about how 277 00:16:37,559 --> 00:16:41,759 they make these solar panels, those aren't green, particularly given 278 00:16:41,799 --> 00:16:44,039 the fact that a hailstorm can destroy them and suddenly 279 00:16:44,039 --> 00:16:46,000 they're in the landfill for the next I don't know, 280 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,360 trullion years. He was talking to Senator Widen during his 281 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:51,320 confirmation hearings. 282 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 8: Now there is a big effort in the Trump administration 283 00:16:54,759 --> 00:16:57,039 to reverse it. I think that's going to be bad 284 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,279 for the economy, but it is going to be damn 285 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,639 good for China because we are in an arms race 286 00:17:01,679 --> 00:17:03,919 and clean energy with them. Are you going to be 287 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,559 on the side of people who want to unravel. 288 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:13,079 Speaker 5: This, Senator the Senator Widen, Just so we can frame 289 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,519 this for everyone in the room, China will build a 290 00:17:16,759 --> 00:17:20,440 hundred new coal plants this year. There is not a 291 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:21,480 clean energy race. 292 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: There is an energy race. 293 00:17:23,839 --> 00:17:27,559 Speaker 5: China will build ten nuclear plants this year. That is 294 00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:32,960 not solar. I am in favor of more nuclear plants. 295 00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:39,079 And I would note that the IRA as scored by 296 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,799 the CBO, is wildly out of control in terms of 297 00:17:42,839 --> 00:17:43,440 spending on the. 298 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: Upside necronuclear, These are very small footprints nuclear plants that 299 00:17:50,079 --> 00:17:53,200 don't require all that water next to these rivers with 300 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,119 these weird, bizarre, scary the contall towers. I admit it, man, 301 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,119 when I drive past those old nuclear plants, I'm programmed too. 302 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,440 At them like that that blow up on here, I 303 00:18:01,519 --> 00:18:07,200 might be getting isotopes very different design. The reality is this, 304 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,160 we are not going to do away with energy unless 305 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,119 we want to die. We don't have fur. We're not 306 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,160 very good at being outside. My dog can sit outside 307 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,279 in a fourteen degree day and not notice. She's not 308 00:18:18,319 --> 00:18:23,319 even that tough a dog. He also talked about our 309 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:28,039 exports are oil and some of her enemies. Enemies. Again, 310 00:18:28,079 --> 00:18:31,920 this is Scott Bessen's President Trump's secretary to be nomine 311 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,119 to be Treasury secretary. 312 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,039 Speaker 5: I would view that as we can raise US production, 313 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:44,440 we would squeeze down the bad actors, especially Iran. I 314 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,000 think I'm right, maybe not in the exact numbers, but 315 00:18:47,079 --> 00:18:50,480 in order of magnitude, I believe Iran was down to 316 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:55,880 one hundred thousand barrels of oil exports when President Trump 317 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:56,759 left office. 318 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 1: I believe that. 319 00:18:57,599 --> 00:19:01,640 Speaker 5: They are now exporting an excess are approximately one point 320 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:06,839 seven million. So through sanctions policy, I believe that we 321 00:19:07,039 --> 00:19:12,160 can again, as I like to say, make Iran poor again, 322 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:18,119 not the Iranian people, the Iranian the government. And then 323 00:19:18,279 --> 00:19:23,359 at the same time they have our domestic producers push 324 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,319 that up with the highest energy standards in the world. 325 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 1: What a refreshing change to recognize that the government of 326 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,039 Iran hates us, wants to destroy us, wants to wipe 327 00:19:32,079 --> 00:19:34,119 Israel off the map, and then come for the big Satan. 328 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,559 They're the small Satan or the big Satan. Praise God 329 00:19:37,599 --> 00:19:41,799 that he recognizes this energy is part of or part 330 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,799 of the common blessings that God gave us. So God 331 00:19:44,839 --> 00:19:47,160 bring down blessings upon the earth, upon the righteous and 332 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,599 the unrighteous. There is wood for fire, there is sunlight. 333 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:56,640 We are to steward these resources. We are managers, and 334 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,720 the Bible is replete with examples of people being wise 335 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:06,799 stewards of money, of resources like vineyards. Now that's all 336 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,720 really about. How do you resource your gifts and sure 337 00:20:09,759 --> 00:20:11,799 your gifts to bring people into the Kingdom of heaven. 338 00:20:11,839 --> 00:20:16,119 That's always the point. But Jesus makes the point by 339 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,880 talking about wise stewardship of the resources. God gave us 340 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:23,079 the physical resources. If the Lord is looking at us 341 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:24,799 to be wise stewards is he really going to look 342 00:20:24,839 --> 00:20:28,559 at solar and so, Yeah, that's the wisest possible way 343 00:20:28,599 --> 00:20:32,000 to strew the resources. I give you. No, God gave 344 00:20:32,079 --> 00:20:35,759 us the ability to take nuclear power, and petroleum and 345 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,559 coal and all sorts of other forms of energy. There's 346 00:20:38,559 --> 00:20:42,720 now a new hydrogen engine that's been approved finally. That's 347 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:47,440 why stewardship. God invented all of these minerals and materials 348 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,160 for our use, for our wise use. And yes, we 349 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,920 should respect the earth, but we should respect the earth 350 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,240 and worship the God who gave it to us. I'm 351 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,880 pleased to see this change in the Trump administration. Hopefully 352 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:02,799 this guy is confirmed number three. I have sort of 353 00:21:02,839 --> 00:21:06,880 mixed feelings about mel Gibson in a way, you know, 354 00:21:07,319 --> 00:21:13,640 a he's Hollywood, but he sure seems grounded or what's 355 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:19,559 the phrase based, And he seems to be very consistently 356 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,839 desirous of abiding in the Lord Jesus. He seems to 357 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,039 love Jesus, and he seems to seek him, and he 358 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,680 seems to seek the truth of God through the Bible, 359 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,880 not through idols, et cetera. He seems to have somehow 360 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,759 maintained in ability to be relatable as sort of a 361 00:21:38,759 --> 00:21:42,440 common dude, and that's super hard given the amount of 362 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,720 money he's had. Now, of course he's put himself in 363 00:21:44,759 --> 00:21:49,759 some bad positions when you get completely ripped and are 364 00:21:49,799 --> 00:21:54,359 on video trashing Jewish people and having to go through 365 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,279 that whole well apologia that he went through, and I 366 00:21:58,279 --> 00:22:00,519 thought he did that sincerely. I thought looked at his 367 00:22:00,599 --> 00:22:03,319 performance in that video and said, that's sick. I look awful. 368 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,519 How could I do that? It's hateful, That's not who 369 00:22:05,559 --> 00:22:07,799 I'm called to be as a Christian. I think he's 370 00:22:07,839 --> 00:22:10,880 sincerely wouldn't change in that. So of these mixed feelings, 371 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,799 I also though because some of his movies. Apocalypto is 372 00:22:14,839 --> 00:22:21,480 a great movie and it is so just perversely violent. 373 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,279 Now you can say that, hey, Mayan culture was perversely violent. 374 00:22:28,319 --> 00:22:31,720 He's just showing you what it was like. So I've 375 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:36,200 got mixed feelings about mel Gibson. But he was talking 376 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:41,440 about his house being burned down in California, and I 377 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,680 saw some people who don't like God saying that mel 378 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:50,720 Gibson was blaming God. In other words, where's your Jesus now? 379 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,359 So I'll show you what mel Gibson actually said, and 380 00:22:54,559 --> 00:22:57,480 you can judge for yourself if he's actually blaming God. 381 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,880 You know, God gave us calm and blessings, as we 382 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,119 talk about a lot on the show. We've talked about 383 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,079 that in the form of energy. We've talked about that 384 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:09,079 form of radioactive isotopes we could wisely steward and safely steward. 385 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,960 But He also gave us needs in our body to 386 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,039 match the common blessings or the common blessing to matter 387 00:23:15,039 --> 00:23:19,119 our needs. Your body needs certain minerals, sometimes in very 388 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,720 high amounts that you are probably not getting. You are 389 00:23:21,759 --> 00:23:24,720 probably not getting enough magnesium, to which you can say, 390 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,599 I don't care. It's magnesium. I get plenty of French fries. 391 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:32,519 Good French fries are tasty. Magnesium helps your body avoid cramping, 392 00:23:33,279 --> 00:23:36,519 It helps keep you regular, it helps you sleep, it 393 00:23:36,559 --> 00:23:40,680 helps regulate stress, It helps with a ton of other 394 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,240 body interactions. In fact, magnesium is responsible for six hundred 395 00:23:44,799 --> 00:23:48,640 body interactions, either driving them or regulating them. So you 396 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,279 could go right now straight over to any of the 397 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,599 China marts, and there's China marts all over. Walk in 398 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,000 and just buy some magnesium, go home and just go nuts, 399 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,240 just snort its mainline at whatever you want to do, 400 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,480 You're not going to get enough. Why because A it's 401 00:24:02,519 --> 00:24:07,160 probably fake synthetic fake magnesium. B it's one type of 402 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,319 that your body needs. Full spectrum biptimizers is very different. 403 00:24:12,039 --> 00:24:15,480 It's a full spectrum magnesium supplements, all naturally drived in 404 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,519 other words, organic, so it meets all the needs. And 405 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,319 it's delivered in a four point zero a new formulation, 406 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,640 so it's more dissolvable, meaning more bioavailable, meaning it more 407 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:33,680 quickly helps you gain relaxation, freedom from stress, falling asleep, 408 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,200 and staying asleep.

The 420 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,400 chief nerd for Colungus out Mel Gibson talking about his 421 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,440 house burning down in Los Angeles. 422 00:25:16,559 --> 00:25:19,839 Speaker 4: As you know, I lost my house in Katrina. Our 423 00:25:19,839 --> 00:25:22,000 family lost our house, and it was gutting and it 424 00:25:22,079 --> 00:25:24,079 was awful, but you know, I came to see it 425 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,359 as a great blessing in my life. In time, I 426 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,160 was struck. This week you did an interview and you 427 00:25:30,279 --> 00:25:34,079 said in passing you see this loss of your home 428 00:25:34,279 --> 00:25:40,640 as a purification. How so well, it was an odd 429 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:41,200 mixture of. 430 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 9: Sadness and kind of a weird realization and blessing. I 431 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:53,119 think because I thought, you know, they're just things. I mean, yeah, 432 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,599 I'm gonna miss some stuff. There was valuable stuff. There 433 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,599 was personal stuff that just breaks my heart, you know, 434 00:25:59,319 --> 00:26:06,920 But you know, I feel like I'm you know, I'm 435 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:11,519 being stripped down and prepared for something else. Now that's 436 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,359 maybe very personal, but I feel like I feel. 437 00:26:14,079 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 1: Like the Almighty is preparing me to do something big. 438 00:26:16,599 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 4: Well. I have to say, when I heard that, I thought, 439 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,960 I wonder if this is or if you're regarding this 440 00:26:23,039 --> 00:26:27,559 as a spiritual preparation for the Resurrection movie you're about 441 00:26:27,599 --> 00:26:28,119 to embark on. 442 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,599 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think that's kind of it. It's like, hey, look, 443 00:26:32,039 --> 00:26:34,720 God gives, God takes. We come in with nothing. That's 444 00:26:34,759 --> 00:26:39,799 the same way we go out, you know. And here's 445 00:26:39,839 --> 00:26:43,839 the deal. You'll always be okay. If you seek first 446 00:26:43,839 --> 00:26:45,799 the Kingdom of God, you'll always be okay. You'll get 447 00:26:45,839 --> 00:26:46,359 what you need. 448 00:26:47,279 --> 00:26:50,759 Speaker 1: Ario Grandy is the Raymond Ario host set and it's 449 00:26:50,799 --> 00:26:54,240 an ihearts and you can go get the link. It's 450 00:26:54,279 --> 00:26:57,160 a beautiful portion of a conversation. And this is an 451 00:26:57,279 --> 00:27:04,359 uncomfortable truth that we cannot produce anything of value apart 452 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,039 from the vine. And we those of us who are 453 00:27:08,039 --> 00:27:10,359 not Jewish people are grafted onto the vine. They're part 454 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,400 of the vine. Those who follow the Lord Jesus, that is, 455 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,279 except them as Lord and Savior. And a good keeper 456 00:27:16,319 --> 00:27:20,960 of a vineyard will go out and prune, and sometimes 457 00:27:21,079 --> 00:27:30,400 a goods arborist will prune perfectly healthy leaves because they're 458 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:36,640 not growing the fruits. They look great, they're pretty, but 459 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,359 they're preventing the good fruits from growing. And so God 460 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,960 will come into our lives and he will prune. And 461 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:45,720 I don't know about you, but if I were a tree, 462 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:50,559 having my limbs cut off would hurt. Having some things 463 00:27:50,559 --> 00:27:54,759 that will rely on in a worldly basis snatched from 464 00:27:54,799 --> 00:27:58,920 us hurts. I'm here to tell you, I know what 465 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:04,319 that's like, having items prune from me. So Mel Gibson 466 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,720 views this as a pruning or purification, if you will. 467 00:28:08,279 --> 00:28:11,319 Maybe that home was not bearing fruit. Maybe mill had 468 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,920 become prideful on it, maybe he'd started to rely on it. 469 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,200 Maybe this is a reminder that God will replace those things. C. S. 470 00:28:18,279 --> 00:28:22,240 Lewis wrote very, very beautifully in a book called The 471 00:28:22,319 --> 00:28:26,079 Problem of Pain. C. S. Lewis was late to converting 472 00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:29,000 to Christianity. That happened to him because of his dear 473 00:28:29,079 --> 00:28:32,200 friend who wrote the Lord of the Ring series, who 474 00:28:32,279 --> 00:28:35,759 was a Catholic Christian and helped C. S. Lewis come 475 00:28:35,799 --> 00:28:39,039 to understand the God of the universe. These are a 476 00:28:39,119 --> 00:28:41,480 couple of quotes from this book that I really think 477 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,680 you should read. If you do struggle with this, well, 478 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,279 why does God let things happen that are so bad? 479 00:28:46,319 --> 00:28:48,599 Why does a good God let bad things happen to 480 00:28:48,599 --> 00:28:53,319 good people. Here's a couple of quotes. God whispers to 481 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,720 us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscious 482 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,400 but shouts to us in our pain. It is his 483 00:29:00,519 --> 00:29:05,920 megaphode to rouse a deaf world. God may whisper to you, 484 00:29:06,079 --> 00:29:09,559 this is not good to you, This is not going 485 00:29:09,599 --> 00:29:14,079 to serve you, This is not bearing good fruit. And 486 00:29:14,119 --> 00:29:20,000 then God may slap you sideways and do the pruning himself. 487 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,079 But what if it's something you love? What if it's 488 00:29:25,079 --> 00:29:29,359 something that's the greatest source of joy. God can see 489 00:29:29,839 --> 00:29:32,319 over the hills and valleys that you can't see. He 490 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,599 can see eternity. He knows what's going to happen to you. 491 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,880 If you engage in these things. It may be just 492 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,559 that you don't bear fruit. It may be that you 493 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:45,440 bear poisonous fruits. Also from the problem of pain. The 494 00:29:45,559 --> 00:29:50,039 creature's illusion of sufficiency must, for the creature's sake, be shattered. 495 00:29:50,799 --> 00:29:54,200 And this illusion of sufficiency may be at its strongest 496 00:29:54,279 --> 00:29:57,960 in some very honest, kindly entrumpant people and on such people. 497 00:29:58,079 --> 00:30:05,039 Therefore misfortune must fall the creature's illusion of sufficiency. We 498 00:30:05,079 --> 00:30:07,200 can do it on our own, we don't need God. 499 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,680 This is a very simple answer to that. God can 500 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,599 come along and say, do it all on your own, 501 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,200 you don't need me. How about this, I'll remove oxygen 502 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,680 from the environment for about Oh, I don't know two minutes. 503 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:24,920 How you doing. I don't think mel Gibson is blaming 504 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,200 God at all. I think people who hate God want 505 00:30:28,279 --> 00:30:31,279 every opportunity they can to try to shame God. I 506 00:30:31,279 --> 00:30:33,599 think what mel Gibson is saying is very very true. 507 00:30:34,039 --> 00:30:37,519 God allows these things. Sometimes to happen is purification, sometimes 508 00:30:37,559 --> 00:30:40,960 it's pruning, but always with the intent to grow us, 509 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,960 because that's what God wants to do. He's raising kids, 510 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,720 after all. This is the Todd Hermannshaw. Please go, be well, 511 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,319 be strong, be kind, and please make every effort to 512 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,119 walk in the light of Christ.
