Speaker 1: Welcome to the three Stories version of The Todd Herman Show.
Story number one Virtuous Racism, starring Michelle wou the Mayor
of Boston, Story number two why does President Trump seek Hatred?
And story number three is the Book of Acts? Really loveless.
We'll talk about this all with the help of Borck
Capital Management, Know Your riskpodcast dot com AND's God Almighty.
Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one percent disapproved by big
pharma technocrats in tyrone Sabrian ware from the high Mountains
of Free America. Here's the Emerald City XI Todd Herman.
Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has made in These
are the times to which God has decided we shall live.
Maybe this is the book I should write. If we're
going to write a political book about virtuous racism, you know,
I best stuck. We had a great, big hit with
toxic empathy, really really good title. Virtuous racism is something
that the left practices.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: There is no racism that's virtuous, just like there is
no reason that you should go out and have a
level of empathy to the degree that you're willing to
pretend along with someone's psychosis or to catdo criminals that
is in fact, maybe suicidal empathy, and there's no virtuous racism,
but virtuous racism always comes packaged in just that virtue,
and it is savage to people. It's savage to the
people who are being treated this way, the soft bigotry
of low expectations, and it's savage to a country where
young men have every stinking reason in the world to say,
what about us, particularly young white dudes, have every reason
of the world to let's say that young white men
who want to have their heritage respected have every reason
in the world to say, wait. The mayor of Boston said,
what now, You're going to disappear us from history? And
they speak in the language of being deracified. And this
is going to continue to fester when you have people
like Michelle Wu, the Boston's so called mayor, practicing virtuous racism.
She picks a group and she makes up an utter
fiction about this group and expects us to swallow this
fiction and not do the slightest bit of research. So
I'll show you what she said here at a second,
and you can watch her saying it. Then let's go
through just some quick little fact check it. Here's a
quick little fact check about the industrial complex of medicine
and pharma and insurance companies in our country. They are
not seeking cures. They're seeking pills and surgery and surgery
and pills. That's their goal. Consequently, they will do things
that make apps in no sense. If you're going to
eat sushi, do you stop at a gas station on
the side of the road and pick it up if
it's been there two days, or you do go to
a sushi restaurant where you watch it cut up fresh
from the tank, which one. In the case of Renewed
Healthcare in portavard To, Mexico, where they specialize in being
the world's best stem cell clinic, they take placentas in
umbilical cords from the birth room downstairs to a class
four bio lab, one step below what you'd use if
you're happening handling things like a bola. They analyze the
Wharton jelly's portion of the of the umbilical cord. They
reject ninety percent, sometimes eighty to ninety percent of the
stem cells because they don't meet their quality standards. Then
they grow the rest of them. They do that, they
culture them and create more of them. That's what goes
into your body, to help you stay out of his
shoulder surgery or knee surgery or back surgery. To help
you recover from our traumatic brain injury. To help you
with cosmetic things. Don't use botox, use stem cell replace
the hair in your head by revitalizing the follicles of
stem cells. What do we use in America? Frozen stuff
from whomever shipped for hoeverlong and frozen for hoever long.
They're not the same thing. Go to renew r E
n ue dot Healthcare. No matter what the healthcare concern is.
Ask them about this, even pain management, longevity and becoming
biologically younger. Renew r E n U e dot Healthcare.
This is the mayor of Boston, Michelle Woom. She's taking
a group of people. They're the new very special people.
This is part and parcel of virtuous racism. The creation
of the phrase bipock was virtuous racism. When your bipock,
you can do no wrong, You are always right in
every argument. We need to be allies, no matter what
the claim is, no matter how ridiculous, like defunding the police.
Speaker 2: Well, if the.
Speaker 1: Bipoks say it, then it's good. Now, just now, it's
not Hispanic people it's not illegal immigrants who are Hispanic.
Now it's sometimes illegal, sometimes questionably illegal, small the immigrants,
and the race is on for the soft bigotry of
low expectations or virtuous racism. This from Boston's mayor.
Speaker 3: You cannot talk about any achievement that the city of
Boston has had in safety, jobs and economic development, in
education without talking about the Somali community that has lifted
our city up. We are proud and we are grateful
for our Somali community and for our Somali American neighbors.
Boston and the country are clear that hate has no
place in our society. We will use every attack to
actually strengthen and expand the services available to empower and
work alongside our community members who are already doing so
much good in the world and sett an example for
the rest of the country.
Speaker 1: So the soft bigotry of low expectations is Somalians come
here and they built Boston, and you can go just
do some real quick number checking here. But they're being attacked.
God forbid, someone's going out and attacking anybody. Their actions
are being reviewed. The amount of fraud in this country
is reviewed. It should be reviewed because it's in the
billions of dollars and maybe multiple billions of dollars. That's
not attacking anybody. So there's this thing you can do.
You can go and ask this this this advanced search
engine which you're supposed to call AI. Just hey, what
percentage of Boston's population is of Somali origin or ancestry origin.
Here's what we get. According to the twenty twenty one
American Community Survey data from the US Census Bureau, approximately
zero point two to one percent of Boston's population reported
Somali industry ancestry. This place Boston third along with Massachusetts
and cities behind notable smalli percentages behind Springfield at four
point four to six percent in smaller towns. Other sources,
including community reports and recent discussions from twenty twenty four
to twenty twenty five, commonly estimate around fourteen hundred to
sixteen hundred people born in Somalia and reporting Somali industry ancestry,
and the city proper or eight thousand to the broader
Boston area. They built it. You can't have a conversation
about safety, about prosperity without the small community. Oh and incidentally,
they've grown. This is the high point of Smali membership there.
And it's not just this woman doing the the racism thing,
the virtuous racism thing. It's not just Michelle wou Lieutenant
Governor Flanagan from Minnesota, who was deeply concerned about Donald
Trump turning the country into the Handmaiden's Tail, you know,
where women have to walk around with head coverings and
and obey their husbands and stay home and breed and
give birth. She was deeply concerned about that. And then
there's this, Hey, there she is. She's with the Smalli community.
Look at that she's wearing a head cover.
Speaker 4: Name's Peggy Flanagan. I am the Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota,
and I'm really honored and humbled to be here with
all of you today.
Speaker 1: Am I mistaken? Or does the handmaid's tail also have
a triangle on the front? Don't they also red dresses
with a triangle? In this case, she's wearing like a
dark blue dress and then a lighter blue triangle.
Speaker 4: I am incredibly clear that the Somali community is part
of the fabric of the state of Minnesota. I think
about my friendship with Nimko. We've been friends for almost
twenty five years. And when I think of being part
of Minnesota and growing up here, the Somali community has
always been a part of my Minnesota.
Speaker 1: So I want to just encourage the.
Speaker 4: Community to know that we're with you, We've got your back.
I am here shopping today.
Speaker 1: Do you think that honest Somalians are harmed by fraud?
Do you think that Simonians who came here to pursue
liberty and happiness, having had their lives protected by our constitution,
rights granted to us because we're made by God Almighty,
do you think that the fraud harms them? Yeah? Sure,
because you can do the guilt by association thing, the
collective guilt thing. I'm not into that game. I'm into
this game. The collective refusal to apply guilt to this
group at the same time as her party and her
governor and her entire political structure is making everything the
fault of white men, including Tim Waltz, the soul called
governor of Minnesota. Asked about this fraud, said well, white
men do a lot of fraud. Young white men in
this country have every reason to say, wait, you're gonna
blame us for Somalion fraud. You're gonna erase the fact
that it was white people who built Boston, Massachusetts, not
Simalion immigrants. Can you see how this can push young
men towards racism? Can you see how this can say,
you're gonna make me ashamed of my race, I'm gonna
be prideful of my race. And that was God? What
does God hate and human beings? Pride? Pride goes before
a fall stand human pride because you did not make
you your race. I did not make me my race.
And in the body of Christ there are no races.
So I went back to that fancy search engine that
we're supposed to call AI, and I asked about the
growth of the Somali population in Minnesota, because this woman
had just said the Lieutenant governor, her entire life has
been about the Somali community. Around two thousand, there's a
virtually negligible percentage, less than one tenth of a percent.
Samali arrivals just beginning to ride post nineteen nineties. By
twenty ten, the Somali industry ancestry population grew notably estimates
around twenty five thousand to fifty seven thousand to Minnesota
roughly five tenths percent to zero point one percent In
twenty eighteen fifty eight thousand, eight hundreds. In the twenty
twenty census it was ninety one thousand Somalis. That's about
one point six percent of the entire state population of
five point seven one million people. Obviously this is on purpose.
Obviously this growth is on purpose. Obviously they were importing
yet another special interest group. Obviously they were doing this.
And the virtuous racism works both ways. It's virtuous to
be racist against your own race if you happen to
be white, which is incidentally not even a race. Oh yeah,
there's people saying, look, no one ever told you to
apologize for being white? In response to what now jd
Vance has said another people out of the White House,
You no longer have to apologize for being white. People
are saying, no one ever said you need to apologize
for being white. Really, meet Hollywood's California.
Speaker 5: I take responsibility.
Speaker 1: I take responsibility. I take responsibility.
Speaker 3: I take responsibility for every unchecked moment, for.
Speaker 5: Every time it was easier to ignore than to call
it out.
Speaker 1: For what it was.
Speaker 6: Every not so funny joke, every unfair stereotype.
Speaker 1: Its latent, no matter how big or small.
Speaker 5: Every time I remained silent. Every time I explained away police.
Speaker 1: Brutality are either all white or turned a blind eye.
Speaker 5: I take responsibility. Black people are being slaughtered in the streets,
killed in their own homes. These are our brothers and sisters.
Speaker 1: Our friends, our family.
Speaker 5: We are done watching them die.
Speaker 1: We are no longer bystanders. We will not be idle.
Enough is enough.
Speaker 5: I will no longer allow an unchecked a moment. I
will no longer allow racist hurtful words, jokes, stereotypes, no
matter how big or small, to be uttered in my presence.
Speaker 1: I will not turn a blind eye.
Speaker 5: Going for a job should not be a death sentence.
Sleeping in your own home should not be a death sentence.
Speaker 1: Playing video games with your nephew should not be a
death sentence. Never has been. And they go out and
this effectively apologizing for being white, another form of virtuous racism,
collective guilt they're putting upon themselves. Note that they didn't
ever really do anything. They talked a big game. I
don't know that it gets more virtuous racism than this.
There was a skeleton discovered some while ago in England.
It was tuned as being the first black Britain. Turns
out that No, in fact, that was not the case.
They went and looked into this, founds out that the
DNA tests from this actually reveals that Nope, that was
not a black woman. That was not the first black Britain.
It was a blonde woman who probably had blonde hair
and blue eyes. But man, it was such a beautiful
story that black people help build Britain. Lies don't help anybody.
God says you shall not lie. Virtuous racism is a
form of lying. It's not something that is going to
help anybody, particularly people to whom they're pandering. Story number two,
Why does President Trump see hatred? This is a very
serious question I have about President Trump and something he
tends to do, which is to prod and poke at
people so they hate him more. And I want to
know why he seeks hatred. Now I have a theory
as to why he seeks hatred, and this is coming
from a perspective of a guy who wants President Trump
to continue to succeed where he can because many of
his policies that back. There's a lot of frustrations I
have with President Trump, and we've talked about those. I
want to just focus on this dynamic President Trump does
things that make people hate him, and I think there's
a reason for this, and I think it goes to
one of the core sin challenges of human beings. All
of us are broken by sin, and there's many of
us who have pet sins and the sins that we
just can't quite let up, let go, We can't let
Jesus in. And there's classic instances of people who are
good Christians save this percentage of their life because, for instance,
business is businesss are sports is sports? Or look, you
know what, maybe I look at a little bit of
a bad video online having bad content, but at least
I'm not doing this. I think President Trump suffers from
a pretty common sin problem that exists in people who
are wildly successful, so he courts hatred. The problem is
it's making it difficult for people who want to help
sell his policies. I want the deportations to continue, I
want them to be permanent. I want people to go
through the process of coming into our country legally. I
want to get back to welcoming people into a country
who want to live in America and become American, who
understand that we protect your life so you can pursue
liberty and happiness who understand that the reason we're a
successful country is because we have a constitution that respects
the fact that there are things the government cannot take
from you because there given to you by God. I
want to get back to those days, and this is
making it very difficult. It's also giving the Democrats everything
they need to destroy the Republicans in the midterms. So
one of these I think, maybe you could agree with
me in this. Maybe this is being needlessly offensive. Maybe
to do this on Christmas Day is not a great idea.
This comes straight out of the Trump war Room, and
incidentally it's President Trump singing. And by the way, I
actually think he's better at singing than I thought he'd be.
Speaker 2: The season Codportom falla la la la la la la la.
Speaker 3: We love Ice and we support.
Speaker 6: Them, Falla la la la la la la la.
Speaker 2: Send them on one way vacations.
Speaker 1: Falla Lat's saying this has to be AI. Well, it
came out of the Trump war Room because I saw
it and said, there's no way, no one, And it
came out of their Twitter at the feed Trump Warroom.
So maybe it's an AI President Trump singing and it
sounds genuine to me. But then again, AI on Christmas Day?
How does that help us sell this policy to people?
People who are questioning this and should we really be
celebrating the fact that we're doing this. Yes, from a
political perspective, I am. What about from a human perspective.
We can love people and deport them. We can treat
them humanly and deport them. We can love our way
into acting righteously, but we can't hate our way into this.
That's one example. The next one's going to be maybe
more controversial. I'll share it with you in a second.
A lot of this stuff is all driven by money.
People get into politics for money. Let's not fool ourselves.
President Trump has made a lot of money on crypto,
lots and lots of money. He might be the first
to tell you that our country is going to go
through some massive changes. Crypto on one side, AI in
the other, which is takeing away jobs and entire industry segments,
and it's coming for things like hfac I just saw
my first HVAC robot. I've been watching my friends, young
friends I work with kids getting into HVAC because AI
is not can eat it. It's coming. There too, is

Truck twenty five Dash three three eight. President Trump decided
to go bomb Nigeria, and you can defend this. It is,
after all, a genocides breaking moments ago, President Trump announcing
a powerful strike against the Islamic state in Nigeria. Let's
go back to Madison' scarpino live in West Palm Beach
with the breaking deeds. So they broke this on Fox
News and then I found the President's statement. Tonight, my
direction as commander in chief, the United States launched a
powerful and deadly strike against Isiscum in Northwest Nigeria who've
been targeting and visually sleek killing primarily innocent Christians at
levels not seen for many years, even centuries. I've previously
warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the
slaughter of Christians there would be held to pay. Tonight,
there was the Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes.
Is only the United States is capable of doing. Under
my leadership, our country will not allow radical Islamic terrorists
and to prosper. May God bless our military. Merry Christmas
to all, including the dead terrorists, of which there's many,
if their slaught of Christians continue. As Donald J. Trump,
President of United States of America, I'm glad that we
hit ISIS. I hope that we'll apply this to other
terrorist groups. I would rather see the reluctant use of force,
because even in war, we can be loving. Story Number three.
Is the Book of Acts really loveless?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: It's kind of clickbaity, I admit that, But I learned
something about the Book of Acts, and the Book of
Acts could be more accurately called the Book of the
Acts of the Apostles of Jesus Christ. These are the
people who walk with the Lord Jesus. Or in the
case of the apostle, Paul, met Jesus on the road
to Damascus, met the spirit of Jesus and was changed
from a violent man who was out on a living
Christians on a regular basis and seeking to underlive more
of them. He was changed into Paul from Saul, and
became one of the most powerful of all the apostles
in terms of writing one third of the New Testament
and in terms of the breadth of his ministries. So
the Book of Acts could be the book of the
Acts of the Apostles of Jesus Christ. And there's something
funny about that book.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: The apostle Paul when he wrote to the Corinthian Church,
which was a church he planted, and he wrote back
to the Corinthians, and he was talking about that you
can be a lot of things, but if you lack
a certain substance, you're really just a noisy gong or
a resounding gong. This is First Corinthians thirteen.
Speaker 6: If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels,
but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong.
Or a clanging symbol. If I have the gift of
prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and
if I have a faith that can move mountains, but
do not have love, I am nothing. If I give
all I possess to the poor and give over my
body to hardship, that I may boast, but do not
have love, I gain nothing.
Speaker 2: Love.
Speaker 1: Love is something we'll get to. In the New Testaments.
If you take the King James version, the word love
appears about one hundred and eighty three times, or one
hundred and eighty three times the King James Version n
IV New International Version. Love appears around two hundred and
thirty two times in the New Testament and the New
Living Translation, which is a pretty i think liberal translation,
not not politically and not theologically, but language like it's
fun to read sometimes side by side with King James,
just because you can see the different different translations and
how that affects the reading. In the New Living Translation
it can be as high as three hundred plus in
the New Testament, and again it's a more dynamic translation style.
Some might say there is in the Book of Acts,
love appears zero times, not a single appearance. The Book
of Acts starts with Peter giving a sermon, the first
ever public sermon of a Christian, not Jesus. He gives
us in front of five thousand people and probably then
fifteen thousand people. He's doing love. So he's on this
rooftop and he's speaking, and people are hearing it in
their own tongues, and Peter says, Hey, it's noon, and
these men are not drunk as you suppose, but touched
by the Holy Spirit. Hence you're hearing these thoughts in
your own tongues, these words in your own tongues. It
was amazing people, wouldn't it amaze you? Hey, this guy's
a fisherman. He doesn't speak my language. Just all these
diverse languages and people hearing it this way. He was
doing love. The word love does not appear in Acts,
but the acts of love does notre Greater love has
manned than to lay down his life for his brothers.
They're doing love. Everyone in the Book of Acts would
eventually die for the faith, save the apostle John, who
God kept around to write the Book of Revelation, the
last book of the Bible. How things end. They simply
couldn't kill John and they even tried to do that
by boiling him an oil. Couldn't get it done. He
was doing love. When the apostle Paul wrote First Corinthians,
he wrote about what love means, and we'll get to
that in a second. But if you look at the
way they did love in the acts of the apostles
of Jesus Christ upon his death, they risked their lives
to speak about him and to tell people to be
baptize him. They did that in front of the people
who probably killed Jesus because they were probably there. Definitely
the Czechnocratic religious authorities at the time, the Pharisees were there.
There's no doubt they were observing this. We know that
people like Josephus, who was not a Christian but was
actually a Jewish Man, who was writing contemporaneously of this.
He was an observer to these things. He wrote about
these things. People went from that sermon to their other
countries and said, Wow, this guy really rose. People who
were not Christian went to Africa and started to just
tell these sorts. People began converting based just upon this.
When the apostle Paul was saved from hell on the
road to Damascus, where Jesus struck him blind and saved
him from hell and brought him into the family of Christ.
Paul would go out doing love, being shipwrecked, being beaten,
nearly killed, being jailed. Peter and John were jailed, they
were beaten in flogs. They were doing love. But the
word love does not appear, but the power of love appears,
the power of the Holy Spirit. You may also call
the Book of Acts the Acts of the Holy Spirit,
because it's a Holy Spirit driven text. So this Paul,
who was shipwrecked multiple times, who was beaten multiple times,
thought to be dead multiple times, who had forty Jewish people,
Paul himself, being of course Jewish, a pharisee of pharisees,
forty people had pledged to not eat or drink until
they took his life. He was only spirit at that
point because he was a Roman citizen, and for fear
of offending the emperor, some Roman soldiers, two hundred of them,
got him out of there. He was doing love. In
the West, we think of love as an emotion, soft,
fuzzy feelings for somebody. Now in the Bible is a
little bit different. In one Corinthians thirteen, we'd stopped just
before Paul described Love is patient.
Speaker 6: Love is kind. It does not envy, It does not boast.
It is not proud. It does not dishonor others. It
is not self seeking. It is not easily angered. It
keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseverce. Love never fails.
Speaker 1: But love never fails. The apostles did not fail at
their jobs. Eleven of twelve of them met their end.
Peter's wife was crucified. Tradition tells us as she was
being crucified, Peter said, think of the Lord. Tradition tells
us that Peter felt that he was not sufficiently holy
to be crucified like the Lord, so he asked to
be crucified upside down, which would be even more brutal,
And tradition tells us they did that he was doing love.
The word doesn't appear, but the actions do, which reminds
me of something from fiction writing. Bad authors tell you
a story. They tell you how a character is feeling.
They tell you the backstory. Great authors show you how
their character is feeling. They show you the backstory by
unpeeling it layer by layer, through images, interactions, never telling
you a thing. The Book of Acts would fail if
they'd just simply come out and talked about love, because
in those times as well, people had a different understanding
of love. So through the power of the Holy Spirit,
they did love, and doing love conquered the world. This
is a Todd Hermann show. Please go, be well, be strong,
be kind, and go out and walk today in the
love of Christ Jesus
