1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,439 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Three Stories version of The Todd Herman Show. Hey, 2 00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:09,199 flood victims. FEMA is very busy relocating illegal immigrants, and 3 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,320 a general with the Army Corps Engineers is super busy 4 00:00:12,359 --> 00:00:14,279 doing some other stuff. Oh wait, that's later in the show. 5 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,600 A pastor got himself arrested because he defended a girl 6 00:00:19,839 --> 00:00:23,960 who was forced to read pornographic content in school. She 7 00:00:24,039 --> 00:00:27,839 didn't want to, they made her. And yeah, the Army 8 00:00:27,879 --> 00:00:30,440 Corps engineer is this this boss, This lieutenant general just 9 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,759 recorded a campaign ad for Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris. I'll 10 00:00:35,799 --> 00:00:38,560 never get it right. Talk about these things with the 11 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,960 help of our YouTube channel YouTube dot com, slash at 12 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,880 the Todd Herman Show and with God oh. 13 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:49,119 Speaker 2: My, The Todd Herman Show is one percent disapproved by 14 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:57,280 big pharma technocrats and tyrants everywhere from the hind mountains 15 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,920 of Free America. Here is the Emerald City exime. 16 00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:07,879 Speaker 1: God to her Man. Today is the day the Lord 17 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,040 has made. These are the times to which God has 18 00:01:10,079 --> 00:01:18,519 the satured. We shall live three stories in a greater story. 19 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,239 Let's start with the greater story. It's fascinating how we 20 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,840 live in a time of performative politics. This is a 21 00:01:24,879 --> 00:01:30,079 phrase my friend Chris Bray invented, performative politics. The performance 22 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,799 is the thing. It's more important to act like you're 23 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,640 doing the thing than to actually do the thing, and 24 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,480 that enables us to see. For instance, as Brady just 25 00:01:39,519 --> 00:01:42,079 pointed out in a piece as reading this morning, that 26 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:49,719 as the federal government's budget explodes explodes, its capabilities shrink. 27 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,879 So you have FEMA acting like there's still the Federal 28 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:04,560 Emergency Management Agency even as their capabilities are shrinking. Disgraced 29 00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:09,560 Homelands Security Secretary Aljandra Mayorcis just said, we're out of money. 30 00:02:10,159 --> 00:02:15,080 FEMA ain't got no cash, but we are paying for 31 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,680 the retirement of Ukrainian bureaucrats. We have money for that. 32 00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:24,599 We have money to hand twenty two hundred dollars a 33 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,360 month to illegal immigrants coming into our country and often 34 00:02:28,599 --> 00:02:31,520 ten grand just to come here. We have money to 35 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,439 relocate them, to fly them from states like California, where 36 00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:37,039 there are enough illegal immigrants that's already one party state, 37 00:02:37,199 --> 00:02:42,120 into the state of Texas that they're desperately trying to 38 00:02:42,159 --> 00:02:46,080 flip using every means possible. So they're acting like they're 39 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,400 doing the thing, and there is some relief, praise God, 40 00:02:48,439 --> 00:02:51,280 getting to the flood victims, but not as much as 41 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,039 there should be. All of this is into a even 42 00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:03,960 more grand narrative, the great, great swindle of Dei as equity. Man, 43 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,400 this is brilliant. Satan is clever and scheming. This is 44 00:03:09,479 --> 00:03:13,120 so brilliant. Here we are all of us, many, well, 45 00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:16,159 I should say ninety nine percent of us in conservative 46 00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:20,840 Christian media saying Dei is it's part of the color revolution, 47 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:28,000 the cultural revolution. True, true, But man, it's also great 48 00:03:28,039 --> 00:03:32,319 for business. I was curious why so many businesses folded 49 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,520 and gave into this. I mean, it's so obviously upside 50 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,120 down in America. But I think the answer is pretty clear, 51 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,960 and it goes to that old phrase of fall of 52 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,159 the money, because the love of money is the root 53 00:03:44,199 --> 00:03:46,680 of many kinds of evil. As it says in the Bible. 54 00:03:47,319 --> 00:03:50,080 We all need money, particularly if you ever want to retire, 55 00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:53,120 You're going to need some cash. So let me ask 56 00:03:53,159 --> 00:03:55,639 this question, how do you refine how do you define 57 00:03:56,199 --> 00:04:00,199 a successful retirement? What does that mean to you? Friend, 58 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,599 Zach Abraham, Chief investment Officer a bo or coupital management. 59 00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:04,840 It means knowing exactly how much money you're going to 60 00:04:04,879 --> 00:04:08,960 have every month for the rest of your life in retirement. Now, 61 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,560 with the curt events, we're witnessing wars and rumors of wars, 62 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,680 as it says in the Bible, so we see a 63 00:04:14,719 --> 00:04:18,920 removal of rules from corporate America. Insider trading once again 64 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,560 not just legal in Congress, but laughed about. Your retirement 65 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,000 account was not created for a time like this or 66 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,800 times such as these. This, it says in the Book 67 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,639 of Esther. It was created for a time where there 68 00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:30,879 were rules and not big risks like this. So times 69 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,920 have changed. Here's something you can do to make sure 70 00:04:33,959 --> 00:04:36,319 that you're still on track for retirement. Take Zach up 71 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,160 on his free offer. He'll get on a video call 72 00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:41,160 with you, a phone call with you and your spouse 73 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,279 or just you, and he'll look at all your investments 74 00:04:44,759 --> 00:04:46,560 and he will tell you if it's set up for 75 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,040 risk management and if it's being actively managed which can 76 00:04:50,079 --> 00:04:53,279 actually reduce risk and volatility. He'll do that and then 77 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,600 tell you are you set up for a retirement or 78 00:04:55,639 --> 00:04:57,800 do you need help? He just told my friend's father 79 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,600 he's all set, doesn't need their help. Oh, this is free, 80 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,839 no obligation.

DEI was 94 00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:45,360 saying to companies, listen, trust the plan. Back us with this. 95 00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:49,920 DEI help us the Democrat Party, get a whole bunch 96 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,600 of new voters. Help us make the case that we're 97 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,920 the only ones who care about the bipos such a 98 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,879 ridiculously dismissive phrase for human beings. Let us invent an 99 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,040 entire new, so called sub race of human beings completely 100 00:06:05,079 --> 00:06:09,519 dependent upon medicine, you might say, for their existence. Help 101 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,120 us do that, and we're going to help you lower 102 00:06:12,199 --> 00:06:18,759 employment costs like you have never imagined. We're going to 103 00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:24,399 use DEI to flood cities with new immigrants, many of 104 00:06:24,439 --> 00:06:29,920 them here in a slightly legal only through dictat process 105 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,720 flown over the border custom Border Patrol lab. We're going 106 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,680 to let them do that, this is what they're saying 107 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,160 to the employers. And we're going to take key cities 108 00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:44,639 like this, and we're going to give you employees that 109 00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:48,920 cost you sixty percent of what Americans would get and 110 00:06:48,959 --> 00:06:52,160 you're not going to have to move your factories. You 111 00:06:52,199 --> 00:06:57,199 can do that here, will bring Haiti here, five percent 112 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:04,079 of Haiti's population here. So when you see Kamala Harris 113 00:07:04,199 --> 00:07:08,360 speaking about storm relief and speaking about how FEMA would 114 00:07:08,439 --> 00:07:12,160 work on an equitable basis, keep in mind what the 115 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:13,959 uber goal is. 116 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 4: It is our lowest income communities and our communities of 117 00:07:20,079 --> 00:07:25,639 color that are most impacted by these extreme conditions and 118 00:07:26,519 --> 00:07:30,519 impacted by issues that are not of their own making. 119 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,800 And so I mean absolutely, and so we have to 120 00:07:34,839 --> 00:07:38,759 address this in a way that is about giving resources 121 00:07:38,759 --> 00:07:42,240 based on equity understanding that we fight for equality, but 122 00:07:42,279 --> 00:07:44,639 we also need to fight for equity understanding not everyone 123 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,399 starts out at the same place, and if we want 124 00:07:47,439 --> 00:07:49,360 people to be in an equal place, sometimes we have 125 00:07:49,399 --> 00:07:53,720 to take into account those disparities and do that work. 126 00:07:55,199 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: You're talking here about people who have been flooded out 127 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,560 of their homes and people who have seen their loved 128 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:09,120 ones drowned. There were people who watched their loved ones 129 00:08:09,639 --> 00:08:14,360 on rooftops. They weren't rescued. FEMA was busy doing some 130 00:08:14,399 --> 00:08:16,879 other things we'll talk about, and they had to watch 131 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,959 them float away and drown. I'm sure they're comforted though, 132 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,000 that any same sex attracted person in North Carolina South 133 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,800 Carolina states so hit by this that they got help first. 134 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:38,840 That's not just cold. Well, it's ungodly to take one 135 00:08:38,919 --> 00:08:42,159 human being above another and say we'll rescue you first 136 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:47,600 because equity. But when you are working with a grand narrative, 137 00:08:48,279 --> 00:08:50,960 all the pieces have to fit together. And when the 138 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,559 grand narrative is we are doing this all for compassion 139 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,200 and all for good, when the behind the scenes reality 140 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,720 is there's a whole bunch of money changing hands, you 141 00:08:59,759 --> 00:09:04,840 see things like this. America First Legal looked into what 142 00:09:04,919 --> 00:09:07,000 the people who run Joe Biden have done to the 143 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,320 federal mergency managety system, emergency management system, and they've taken 144 00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:15,240 things like food emergency food and shelter programs, and they've 145 00:09:15,279 --> 00:09:17,960 included paragraphs like this. This is straight from their website. 146 00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:21,399 The program may also receive funding to award to the 147 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,639 National Board for distribution to local social service organizations that 148 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:30,600 provide humanitarian relief to families and individuals encountered by the 149 00:09:30,639 --> 00:09:33,720 Department of Homelown Security. Oh, you know that means people 150 00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:37,039 at airports encounter by the Department of Homeland Security. It doesn't. 151 00:09:37,399 --> 00:09:41,039 It means illegal immigrants. This is a distraction from the 152 00:09:41,039 --> 00:09:44,679 core mission of FEMA. But remember it's more important that 153 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,720 they act like they're doing their thing than actually doing 154 00:09:48,759 --> 00:09:52,039 the thing, because what they're really doing is supporting the great, 155 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,879 big money shifts of the newcomers. We can't hate them, 156 00:09:56,919 --> 00:09:59,039 We're to love them. They are, in fact our neighbors. 157 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,080 We can hate they're doing to America. So they looked 158 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,240 into the money and you see programs like one billion 159 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:12,120 dollars FEMA gave to cities and organizations within cities to 160 00:10:12,159 --> 00:10:17,080 relocate illegal immigrants. Thirty eight million to New York, twenty 161 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:21,080 one million to PMA County, Arizona. There's a separate thing 162 00:10:21,159 --> 00:10:23,720 that's been set up, six hundred and eighty five million 163 00:10:23,799 --> 00:10:26,360 dollars in that emergency food and shelter program. This going 164 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,440 to illegal immigrants, all of it wrapped up in equity. 165 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,879 I'm sure this makes the people who are flood victims 166 00:10:31,879 --> 00:10:35,000 feel really, really solid. We wouldn't want this to be 167 00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:41,639 an unfair approach. The doing of the thing versus the 168 00:10:41,759 --> 00:10:44,840 appearing to do the thing sometimes happens by way of 169 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:50,159 authorities simply panicked at a moment of great, great stress. 170 00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:53,320 And maybe that's the case here. A gentleman who knows 171 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,360 exactly what he's doing, flying helicopter relief, was helping people 172 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,440 using his helicopter. He and his son were helping people 173 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,720 when a local authority became disturbed by these activities. 174 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,519 Speaker 5: The cries for help from people stranded without food, water, 175 00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:11,720 or electricity hit social media soon after the flooding last Friday. 176 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:12,879 Speaker 3: So my parents are. 177 00:11:12,799 --> 00:11:15,919 Speaker 6: Struck, their addresses, banner out. 178 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,399 Speaker 7: They are in the first condo. 179 00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:20,919 Speaker 6: If he received this, please give me a call back. 180 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 8: Thank you. 181 00:11:21,799 --> 00:11:25,399 Speaker 5: Sidnam's phone started lighting up on Saturday with people begging 182 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:25,879 for help. 183 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,159 Speaker 7: Man, I can hear the desperation in her voice. And 184 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,960 this is multiple phone calls. I've received what this voicemails, 185 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,600 text messages and you could hear people desperate for help. 186 00:11:35,759 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 5: Cinnam and his son rescued four people on Saturday and 187 00:11:38,519 --> 00:11:41,639 spent the night in a nearby pilot's lounge, then decided 188 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,320 to fly again Sunday morning. 189 00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 7: I spoke with my son, which is my co pilot. 190 00:11:46,759 --> 00:11:48,639 I said, HEYI you want to go back out and 191 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,440 try to help today. And his response was, there's so 192 00:11:52,519 --> 00:11:55,000 many messages. I don't think we can't not go help. 193 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 5: Cinnamon his son, We're headed up to Black Mountain. Flight 194 00:11:58,039 --> 00:12:01,559 tracking shows no flight restrictions in place Saturday or Sunday 195 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,759 morning when Syddam flew through the Lake Loud Gap. But 196 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,279 that was all about to change. The sytem spotted in 197 00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:11,759 older couple waiting for help. Then landed and what's left 198 00:12:11,799 --> 00:12:12,559 or their driveway. 199 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,519 Speaker 8: Hey, I want you to let me get in. You 200 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,120 step out and go out and help her in. Put 201 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,200 her bag in the back, get her strapped in. I'm 202 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,279 gonna take her down and go back. I'll take him. 203 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,879 I'll go back and then I'll get you a little good. 204 00:12:25,279 --> 00:12:28,919 Speaker 7: I originally left my son co pilot on the side 205 00:12:28,919 --> 00:12:32,000 of the mountain. It was it was kind of unstable, 206 00:12:32,039 --> 00:12:34,799 so I didn't want to put more weight in the 207 00:12:34,799 --> 00:12:37,080 helicopter to lift back off, So I left my son 208 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,600 with the other victim and I was just gonna take 209 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,840 one person down at the time, and you could hear 210 00:12:41,879 --> 00:12:44,679 me in the video talking through with the victims and 211 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,360 with my son what we're gonna do. 212 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,879 Speaker 5: Three minutes away, spotted a group of rescuers just down 213 00:12:49,919 --> 00:12:52,600 the river. He landed and found someone in charge. 214 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 7: Told him my background experienced law enforcement, firefighting, a pilot. 215 00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:02,360 He immediately started helping with coordination. He gave me radio 216 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,519 frequencies to coordinate with them on set up a landing 217 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,240 area for me to come back with the other victim. 218 00:13:09,159 --> 00:13:12,279 In the middle of the whole conversation, and then blocking 219 00:13:12,279 --> 00:13:15,879 the road off, I was greeted by at that time 220 00:13:15,919 --> 00:13:18,799 I didn't know but Lake Lure fire chief or assistant 221 00:13:18,879 --> 00:13:21,840 chief maybe, and he shut down the whole operation. So 222 00:13:22,159 --> 00:13:24,399 at that point there was I felt like the conversation 223 00:13:24,519 --> 00:13:27,159 wasn't going any further, and again he asked me to leave, 224 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,840 and I said, hey, I have no problem getting out 225 00:13:29,879 --> 00:13:31,360 of your area. If that's what you want us to do, 226 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:32,799 we'll leave no issue. 227 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 5: Sit them in is nearly fourteen hundred flight hours, turned 228 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,000 his chopper around and headed back to South Carolina, passing 229 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000 people waiting for help along the way. 230 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 7: As I was actually leaving to go back to get 231 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,960 my son, the original chief or captain that I spoke 232 00:13:48,039 --> 00:13:52,600 to his crew and himself, they came back over and said, Hey, man, 233 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,440 we can't tell you to go get the victim. We 234 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,240 can't even ask you to go get the victim, but 235 00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,399 we can't tell you if you come back with the victim, 236 00:13:59,399 --> 00:14:01,080 we'll have you a day as a native landing spot, 237 00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:04,440 and they won't. We'll make sure they don't come over here. 238 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,879 Speaker 5: So there was no flight restriction when you went. 239 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 7: In, no no flight restriction when I went in. It 240 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,440 went in place twenty or thirty minutes after the confrontation 241 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:14,960 with mister. 242 00:14:15,039 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 5: Do you feel like that was coincidental or do you 243 00:14:17,399 --> 00:14:20,240 think that that was because of what happened. 244 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 7: I don't think it can be coincidental when there has 245 00:14:22,679 --> 00:14:26,279 not been one in place the day before doing rescue operations. 246 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,399 The night of the morning of that took place after 247 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,000 our altercation, I think there would have never been a 248 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,840 TFR put in place have we not had that conversation. 249 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,080 If I had to do it over again, I would 250 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,120 have stopped and I would have rescued as many people 251 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,440 until they decided they were going to arrest me. 252 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: Praise God. We're men like this. Sometimes authorities authority so 253 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,120 they can be authorities. No, just think through that. Sometimes 254 00:14:53,159 --> 00:14:57,080 authorities authorities so they can be authorities. Sometimes bosses boss 255 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:01,360 so they can be bosses. Sometimes it's the human instinct 256 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,960 to be in charge rather than looking at the distributed 257 00:15:05,039 --> 00:15:09,879 gifts that God gave us. There's that trite phrase from 258 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,159 Sunday School. We are the hands and feet of Jesus. 259 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,200 What we are that man was given a gift, a 260 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,799 gift that someone else for the sake of whatever. I 261 00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:26,679 think it's authority for the act of authoritatively authoritating decided 262 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,320 to stop. It's a sin issue. It's one that some 263 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,360 people suffer from, and it's so funny that they find 264 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,000 their way up in the governance we're pretending to do 265 00:15:37,039 --> 00:15:41,279 the thing has suddenly become more important than doing the thing. 266 00:15:43,159 --> 00:15:47,919 Story number two. There's a pastor whose name is very 267 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:53,480 difficult to pronounce Pastor John Amana Chugukua or try it. 268 00:15:53,679 --> 00:15:56,840 You'll hear it done the right way in a second. Now, 269 00:15:56,879 --> 00:15:59,120 I want to be clear eyed on what this guy's doing. 270 00:15:59,679 --> 00:16:02,440 First of all, he is defending the word of God. 271 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,440 He is defending school children from being forced to read 272 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:11,600 pornographic content. He is confronting school boards who are perverting 273 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,960 the minds of kids with sexual content that does not 274 00:16:14,039 --> 00:16:16,960 belong in schools. He's been called the book banning pastor, 275 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,960 and he's proud of that phrase, even though he's never 276 00:16:20,039 --> 00:16:23,639 banned a book. There has never been a book banned 277 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,600 in America of recent times. I mean it's happened, but 278 00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:29,440 not recent times. Certainly not the sexual and explicit books 279 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,960 that are being pushed in the school libraries. Those are 280 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:37,080 not being banned. If every single government school library in 281 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,519 the world said we're not going to have sexual books 282 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,399 in our libraries, they wouldn't be banned. They simply wouldn't 283 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:49,039 be there. There's this thing called curating, and this is 284 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,039 one of the ways you can push back on people 285 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,960 who make the claim of book banning. Now, I gave 286 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,480 that background in this pastor because there's some other details 287 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,279 of this story that matter. I'll give that to you 288 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:03,440 in just a second. He was put in handcuffs, and 289 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,519 part of that was because he was defending a young 290 00:17:05,599 --> 00:17:11,799 girl named Loreena Benson, who was forced to read pornographic 291 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,000 content in front of fellow students, forced by a teacher 292 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,119 to do that by an adult. So the details matter, 293 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,839 and what he's doing matters, but so does the comparison 294 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:27,279 will make between the unhealthy form of so called teaching 295 00:17:27,759 --> 00:17:30,759 and the healthy form. There's some other comparisons you can 296 00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:35,240 make pretty simply on topic of health versus unhealthy. If 297 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,200 the conclusion for you when you walk into a doctor's 298 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,400 office is already known, it's already known. You're sitting in 299 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,920 the lobby, you are ready to go in and meet 300 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,119 with a doctor, explain your condition, and sitting back there 301 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,920 in a laptop connected to a database is already a 302 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,839 series of answers, will it be this drug, that drug, 303 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:01,559 or this surgery? And as you explain your symptoms, you'll 304 00:18:01,599 --> 00:18:04,279 notice doctors these days are right there on their iPad 305 00:18:04,559 --> 00:18:07,319 and here's often what's going on. They're listening to you, 306 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,839 and in the background, this is software searching a Medicare 307 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,359 and Medicaid database or your own insurance company's database, and 308 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,359 it's looking for things they could do for you that day, 309 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,240 pretend to do for you. It's called claim mining. Then 310 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,880 you may not need these things, but they don't really 311 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,599 care because it's money. So it might come across that 312 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,880 your doctor says, hey, have you considered a statin? Did 313 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,079 you know that you qualify for a discount on statins? 314 00:18:29,759 --> 00:18:31,680 Or you might be in their in severe pain, maybe 315 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,079 something like neuropathy where your fingers are numb and they 316 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,599 tingle and you get these shooting arms, so you're paying 317 00:18:37,599 --> 00:18:40,799 through your arms or carpal tunnel. Maybe you've had a 318 00:18:40,839 --> 00:18:43,359 serious injury and it's just not recovered and you just 319 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,480 can't move your back the right way, and maybe you 320 00:18:45,519 --> 00:18:47,640 can't do the things you love anymore. Well, it goes 321 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:53,599 into that database, this pill, that surgery, or you could 322 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,359 go get an interview with my friends at renew dot Healthcare. 323 00:18:56,759 --> 00:18:59,240 Go to renew dot Healthcare and they will tell you 324 00:18:59,319 --> 00:19:03,400 if they're ethic gathered stem cells that come from that 325 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,400 come from umbilical cords and placebos only never anything to 326 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,160 do with the board of babies. Ever, if those could 327 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,640 help you, how would they help you? Number one, it 328 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,559 would reduce information. Number two. Where there's tissue damaged, maybe 329 00:19:16,559 --> 00:19:20,920 there's cartilage gone, maybe you're bone on bone. It rebuilds 330 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:25,920 the tissue, including cartilage, muscle, tendons, and it does that 331 00:19:26,279 --> 00:19:30,759 without the use of drugs. Stem cells happen by nature. 332 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,480 This is simply gathering them, culturing them, and putting them 333 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,519 into your body. In my case twice, I have had 334 00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:40,599 it done by a Harvard certified surgeon. Got to renew 335 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:45,200 dot Healthcare, that's our e n ue dot healthcare. So 336 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,000 this pastor apparently goes around the country and he goes 337 00:19:48,039 --> 00:19:51,200 and confronts these school boards, and at this point this 338 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,440 detail does matter. He decided to not sit down after 339 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,160 his allotted speaking time was over. Now that allotted speaking time, 340 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,039 that is sort of a noxious thing in a so 341 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,039 called republican democracy or republican form of democracy, because the 342 00:20:05,079 --> 00:20:07,839 school board gets to decide what that is. You citizens 343 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,640 only need three minutes. We can't all sit here all 344 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,880 night and listen to you. We have important things to do, 345 00:20:13,039 --> 00:20:14,759 like to speak to you, to tell you what you're 346 00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:18,160 to think. It is a false limit put on us, 347 00:20:18,559 --> 00:20:21,519 and oftentimes it is becoming more and more absurd, Like 348 00:20:21,519 --> 00:20:26,000 in the state of California. They limited debate debate on 349 00:20:26,079 --> 00:20:30,079 a bill to something like ten seconds. Why because they 350 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:34,359 don't want debate. This is how WRL reported this. 351 00:20:34,559 --> 00:20:37,519 Speaker 6: A pastor disrupted Away County school board meeting, calling out 352 00:20:37,559 --> 00:20:40,839 district leaders and refusing to leave. This comes after a 353 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,519 high school student told the board that she was uncomfortable 354 00:20:43,559 --> 00:20:46,720 reading and discussing a passage in class that she described 355 00:20:46,759 --> 00:20:52,359 as incestual. That bro Destiny Patterson explains, say her. 356 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,839 Speaker 1: Name Justice from Mareena Benson. 357 00:20:57,039 --> 00:21:00,519 Speaker 9: I can't sorry at this point, I must instruction to leave. 358 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 10: So vocal about his conservative views, Pastor John Almanchukwu challenges 359 00:21:05,759 --> 00:21:07,640 school boards across the country. 360 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:08,759 Speaker 9: You are breaking in all. 361 00:21:09,079 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: He refused to. 362 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 10: Leave the podium after his three minutes for public comment 363 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,599 work up during the Way County. 364 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:15,759 Speaker 1: School board men it should be. 365 00:21:16,559 --> 00:21:21,519 Speaker 10: School board chairman called it a publicity stunt. It all 366 00:21:21,599 --> 00:21:25,559 started with this short story. An Alpin's high school student 367 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,079 told school board members a couple of weeks ago she 368 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,119 felt uncomfortable by a passage that made reference to sex 369 00:21:32,279 --> 00:21:33,240 and incests. 370 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: She left the school a week later. 371 00:21:35,759 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 5: This graphic, incestral sexual language should not be taught in 372 00:21:40,519 --> 00:21:43,680 any class, much less an Honors English class. 373 00:21:43,799 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 10: Lorena Benson's father, Bruce Benson, agrees, there's thousands. 374 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 3: Of thousands of great books that could be taught to kids. 375 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,119 Why does someone does the school system and the teeners 376 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,359 have to go out of the way to teach. 377 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,079 Speaker 9: Content that is so clearly. 378 00:22:00,759 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 10: Over the line. The fifteen year old says her family 379 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,240 moved to North Carolina from the Dominican Republic a few 380 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:06,720 months ago. 381 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,319 Speaker 1: I am deeply bothered and deeply disappointed. 382 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 10: District officials declined an on camera interview, citing privacy laws 383 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,759 for students in personnel. However, they say they're evaluating the 384 00:22:16,799 --> 00:22:21,799 appropriateness of the assignment. Destiny Patterson w Oril News Waitcount. 385 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:28,039 Speaker 1: Quoting privacy district personnel working in a public school. That 386 00:22:28,079 --> 00:22:32,599 phrase is an interesting phrase, isn't it public? But they 387 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,000 need to maintain the privacy in a public school that 388 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,880 you run with your money. There's a lot of ways 389 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,599 to talk about this. This is footage. If you're watching 390 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,799 the video of the pastor being arrested. There's a lot 391 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,160 of ways to talk about something like this, But here's 392 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,160 a way to view it a little bit differently. If 393 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:58,400 you came home, walked into your house, and your neighbor, 394 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,559 let's call him Jimmy Bobby. Jimmy Bobby was sitting on 395 00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:07,599 the couch with your fifteen year old daughter, and Jimmy 396 00:23:07,599 --> 00:23:10,799 Bobby had your fifteen year old daughter reading him sexual content. 397 00:23:12,279 --> 00:23:15,920 How long would Jimmy Bobby live? I mean, I don't 398 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,160 want to be a man of the flesh, and I 399 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,440 don't want to give into that instinct for doing things 400 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,079 that way, to dealing with things that way. But honest 401 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,640 to goodness, if you saw that happening in your home, 402 00:23:24,799 --> 00:23:27,720 with Jimmy Bobby on the couch making your daughter read 403 00:23:27,799 --> 00:23:33,559 him sexual content, your response would be what you'd want 404 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:42,039 Jimmy Bobby arrested. But these are teachers. A very simple 405 00:23:42,279 --> 00:23:47,799 way to confront people who call this book batting, ask them, 406 00:23:47,839 --> 00:23:55,440 this is every single book in the world available in 407 00:23:55,480 --> 00:24:00,480 all government schools. They have to say no, unless they're 408 00:24:00,519 --> 00:24:03,160 completely ignorant of physics. There's not enough room in any 409 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,920 government school for every single book in the world. We're 410 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,599 not talking about censorship, we're talking about curation, and so 411 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,839 what belongs there. If only there was a way to 412 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,200 have a method to say what belongs in schools, well, 413 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:19,680 that would mean that you'd have to have a mission 414 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,359 for schools. What is the mission for a school? Reading 415 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,640 and writing and arithmetic is what it used to be, 416 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,480 all wrapped up in this teaching kids how to think, 417 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:37,759 not what to think. Research like this, little stories like this, 418 00:24:38,279 --> 00:24:42,279 sexual stories like this, sexual content like this is not 419 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:47,400 just teaching kids what to think, it's teaching them how 420 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:54,359 to feel. At inappropriate ages, you can track the mind 421 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,480 of kids, the brains of kids, the brains of all 422 00:24:56,519 --> 00:24:58,720 of us. There's a window in time where we can 423 00:24:58,759 --> 00:25:02,039 pick up languages very, very easily. I'd wish i'd done 424 00:25:02,039 --> 00:25:04,240 this with my daughter, that taught her a foreign language, 425 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,319 because kids who learn multiple foreign languages, you know what 426 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,640 else they can do. They can pick up computer coding 427 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,400 really really easy, because it's just language. And then those 428 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,400 portions of the brain close and it becomes harder for 429 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,640 us to pick up new languages or new skills. It 430 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:25,200 closes as you age, things like neuroadaptation under physical stress 431 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,839 becomes harder. Learning new movements, new gymnastics, movements becomes harder. 432 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,039 God also designed our brains to be ready for certain 433 00:25:32,079 --> 00:25:35,480 sort of stimuli at certain ages, and kids are not 434 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,880 ready for sexual stimuli because they do not have the 435 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,200 maturity to handle what comes with sexual stimuli, which is 436 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:48,839 this wise decisions about with whom you engage in such activity. 437 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,359 But they do have the gift of the creep factor. 438 00:25:54,519 --> 00:25:58,960 Gavin Newsom's great book, The Gift of Fear teaches kids 439 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,720 that not all strange are dangerous. It teaches adults that 440 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,519 no strangers are dangerous. But when you have a feeling 441 00:26:04,559 --> 00:26:07,799 in your gut that you know, Jimmy Bobby's a creep, 442 00:26:09,079 --> 00:26:11,240 My parents aren't home, and Jimmy Bobby wants me to 443 00:26:11,279 --> 00:26:14,000 read this sex book to them on the couch, this 444 00:26:14,039 --> 00:26:18,640 doesn't seem right. If it doesn't seem right, it usually 445 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:23,440 isn't right. What's happening in school is is robbing kids 446 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,440 of that god given gift of fear. Fear of creeps. 447 00:26:28,039 --> 00:26:32,079 That's not something that should be taken from them. Story 448 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:37,680 number three. I don't want to overblow this, but it 449 00:26:37,759 --> 00:26:41,400 is truly offensive, particularly if you look at this from 450 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,000 the perspective of people who have lost their loved ones 451 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,240 in the floods and the aftermath of the hurricanes. It's 452 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,480 truly truly offensive. But it goes to this theme we've 453 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,480 been talking about on the larger show on the full 454 00:26:53,519 --> 00:26:55,160 Todd Herman Show. This you can get at Todd Herman 455 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,640 show dot com. Wherever you are seeing this and are 456 00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,400 hearing this, it's an easy place to go see the 457 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:04,119 full show or hear them. We've been talking about it 458 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,519 is now more important to act like you're doing the 459 00:27:06,559 --> 00:27:09,279 thing than to actually do the thing. But this is 460 00:27:09,319 --> 00:27:12,119 truly offensive to me. It's not like it took a 461 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,960 lot of time, and it's a guy who's the Lieutenant 462 00:27:15,039 --> 00:27:17,400 journal of the Army Corps of Engineers. It didn't take 463 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,880 a ton of time. It's not the time. It's what 464 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:26,519 he did during a hurricane response, and it's for whom 465 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,559 he did it, and it should offend all of us. 466 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,039 Show what I mean here in a second. I do things 467 00:27:35,079 --> 00:27:38,960 that sometimes offend friends of mine, I mean lightly offend. 468 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,160 They get kind of frustrated with me for my focus 469 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,519 on fitness. Truly, truly, I've gone through this very frustrating 470 00:27:45,759 --> 00:27:49,200 couple six months or a lot of my friends have said, 471 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,079 you spend too much time exercising, You spend too much 472 00:27:52,079 --> 00:27:53,799 time in this and it's time away from the family. 473 00:27:53,799 --> 00:27:55,319 And we'll tell them, well, you know what, most of 474 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,240 my working out actually happens before five o'clock in the 475 00:27:58,279 --> 00:28:01,359 morning or five point thirty, when most of my exercise happens. 476 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:06,759 My family's asleep, Most decent human beings are asleep, and 477 00:28:06,799 --> 00:28:09,759 they don't recognize the difference until I explain that to them. Oh, 478 00:28:09,759 --> 00:28:11,720 I thought, well, I know you thought, but that's not 479 00:28:11,799 --> 00:28:15,240 the reality. Then I'll do this comparison with them. And 480 00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:16,839 I was having lunch with a dear friend of mine 481 00:28:16,839 --> 00:28:19,440 the other day. I was talking about golf. Oh, this 482 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,200 was this incredible golf weekend we went on, and it 483 00:28:22,279 --> 00:28:25,559 was this three day love affair with golf, and oh 484 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,960 my gosh, my friends I hadn't seen in years. And 485 00:28:28,559 --> 00:28:30,480 I sit there and listen to this and go, Wow, 486 00:28:30,559 --> 00:28:36,440 three full days away from your family playing golf. Touche. 487 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,240 This is all in good fun. It's all in good love. 488 00:28:40,279 --> 00:28:42,319 And I know my friends are speaking to me through love. 489 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,119 I don't feel any offense from it. But I am focused, 490 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,599 and I've taken some shortcuts. I'm going to share one 491 00:28:48,599 --> 00:28:51,480 with you. If you have been through any form of 492 00:28:51,559 --> 00:28:54,400 restrictive dieting or you're in a phase of that now, 493 00:28:54,839 --> 00:28:58,039 you want to ensure that you maintain muscle, because if 494 00:28:58,079 --> 00:29:00,200 you do otherwise it can really scrip your body, your 495 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,279 skeletal system, your metabolism. So let me share the secret 496 00:29:03,319 --> 00:29:05,240 with you. I've only now been allowed to talk with 497 00:29:05,279 --> 00:29:08,759 you about. I used a product called mass Zymes. This 498 00:29:08,839 --> 00:29:12,079 took my friends at Bioptimizers, Weide and Matt two one 499 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,640 hundred and forty three experiments before they would release this 500 00:29:15,799 --> 00:29:19,240 to us. They capped that off with a study at 501 00:29:19,279 --> 00:29:23,279 Birks International University in Bosnia and they compared people who 502 00:29:23,319 --> 00:29:27,480 took mass Symes to people who didn't. Us who took 503 00:29:27,599 --> 00:29:32,000 mass Symes saw a one thousand, two hundred percent increase 504 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,839 in amino acids in our bodies. Amino Acids and particularly 505 00:29:37,119 --> 00:29:40,200 branch chain aminos, are the building block of protein, which 506 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,000 is the building block of muscle. These products, also mass 507 00:29:44,039 --> 00:29:47,240 Symes provides you great digestive comfort and it's as simple 508 00:29:47,519 --> 00:29:51,039 as three tablets a day from a great company, Bioptimizers. 509 00:29:51,079 --> 00:29:54,440 So take action on this.

We do military construction 520 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,599 for the Army and the Air Force. We also have 521 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,720 a large civil works mission. We help ensure that our 522 00:30:39,759 --> 00:30:42,640 ports and our rivers are open to commercial navigation. Second 523 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,799 big mission we do is flood risk management on the 524 00:30:45,839 --> 00:30:48,799 coasts and also in the uppland areas. The President gave 525 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,640 us guidance to make sure that we're leaning forward to 526 00:30:51,759 --> 00:30:55,160 help the citizens of the impacted area from Hurricane Helene 527 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,759 as much as we possibly can, and we had teams 528 00:30:57,799 --> 00:31:02,200 prepositioned under FEMA authority down in southern Georgia. The President 529 00:31:02,279 --> 00:31:05,160 was very clear for us to work with local communities, 530 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,720 the state communities, and to provide as much help as 531 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,880 we possibly can. So all of the forces that we 532 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:14,000 had assembled that were prepared to provide relief on the coasts, 533 00:31:14,039 --> 00:31:17,039 we've moved them all up to the Carolinas and are 534 00:31:17,039 --> 00:31:20,640 prepared to respond as the situation unfolds. 535 00:31:21,319 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: It's just a campaign ad. Now, Kamala Harris doesn't appear 536 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:30,000 in the ad, but she doesn't need to. Figurehead. Biden appears, 537 00:31:30,319 --> 00:31:34,400 Mayor Pete appears. It's a campaign ad. It's written by 538 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,720 campaign staff, communication staff. How do I know that because 539 00:31:38,759 --> 00:31:42,200 they use the catchphrase of Democrats who are doing everything 540 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,319 they can to confuse Americans. Let me be very clear, 541 00:31:47,319 --> 00:31:51,279 the more they gaslight us, oh, Ukraine's the most important 542 00:31:51,319 --> 00:31:53,480 country in the history of the world. It's always been 543 00:31:53,519 --> 00:31:56,359 our key ally. FEMA just doesn't have the money. The 544 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,119 federal government just said, of money, we can't close the borders. 545 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,759 That can't be done. I've never done that. Let me 546 00:32:02,799 --> 00:32:10,759 be clear. He said that Biden gave them guidance to 547 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,480 lean in the sick commander in chief saying lean forward 548 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:20,880 into this. That's guidance. He admitted in the campaign ad 549 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:25,599 for Kamala Harris that they were already positioned there, they 550 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:32,039 saw the storms coming. But Biden was really really clear 551 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:38,160 that they should work with local authorities. Wow, thank you, 552 00:32:38,279 --> 00:32:41,720 we hadn't thought of that. What bothers me about this 553 00:32:41,759 --> 00:32:43,920 again is not the time it took to produce. It 554 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,880 took him very little time, assuming he did that in 555 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:51,000 you know, five takes or something, maybe just one. It 556 00:32:51,079 --> 00:32:55,519 said he saw it as normal. Why am I doing this? 557 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:02,519 How does this help? It helps because of public image. 558 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,799 There was this thing called Katrina. Do you remember it? 559 00:33:07,519 --> 00:33:13,000 George W. Bush let black people die after Hurricane Katrina 560 00:33:13,559 --> 00:33:16,799 because he didn't dispatch help quickly enough. Now, never mind 561 00:33:16,799 --> 00:33:19,759 the fact that the mayor of Nolins Ray Nagan left 562 00:33:19,839 --> 00:33:23,240 a whole fleet of school buses sitting there that could 563 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,319 have taken people out of the city he chose not 564 00:33:25,359 --> 00:33:28,000 to do that, or that they didn't close down all 565 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,200 the highways. They left some routes into the city open 566 00:33:32,279 --> 00:33:35,000 rather than turning them all into escape routes. Never mind 567 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,359 all that that there was a governor, there was a mayor, 568 00:33:38,519 --> 00:33:41,559 there were local officials. No, it was George W. Bush's fault. 569 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,960 Figurehead Biden took seven days to fly down into these 570 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,960 storm ravaged areas. Now, I am not one who believes 571 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,319 that the presence of a president or in his case, 572 00:33:49,359 --> 00:33:52,839 a figurehead, really solves anything. It doesn't comfort me. He's 573 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:57,160 just an employee to me. But that act, by that 574 00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:01,359 Lieutenant General of filming a campaign ad wrapped up in 575 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,720 We're helping people. Well, it goes up into that theme, 576 00:34:03,799 --> 00:34:07,039 doesn't it. Pretending to do the thing is suddenly more 577 00:34:07,039 --> 00:34:10,440 important than doing the thing itself. Since we talked about 578 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,000 the storms and the hurricanes, let me remind this all 579 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:17,760 of this, particularly myself, when one member of the Body 580 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:22,239 of Christ hurts, were all to hurt. Let's find a 581 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,880 way to hurt this week for the people who've lost 582 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,000 homes and loved ones in the aftermath of this flood. 583 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,280 And Jesus, thank you for putting that on my heart. 584 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,239 You to be better, remembering that this is a todd harmershell. 585 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,920 Please go be well, be strong, be kind, Please make 586 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,559 every effort to walk in the light of Christ.
