Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham has an idol and it's neither Maga or Mega.
Choose your sound of a and certainly not Jesus. And
it's an idol a lot of people have developed. And
I want to have a rational, reasonable discussion on this
and try very very much to be in the Holy
Spirit the whole time, because this is tearing people, families, friends,
and countries apart rhetorically, and it is destroying people's lives
in real sense, an eternal sense. People are dying for
this stuff. So we'll do our very best job to
stay in the spirit and to talk about this and
to show you some of the ways that this is
being expressed as an idol. And we'll do this in
a way that I will try my very very best
to be in the spirit because it's vitally important. We'll
do this all with the help of renewed healthcare. And
of course it's a God almighty.
Speaker 2: But Todd Herman show is one disapproved by big pharma
technocrats in tyrants everywhere from the high mountains of Free America.
Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman.
Speaker 1: Today is today the Lord has made and these are
the times through which God has decided we shall live.
I want to be super powerful on this because this
is this is just tearing people apart. And it's the war.
It's Israel, it's Gaza, it's Palestine, it's It's it's it's Libya,
it's Lebanon, it's all the Middle East. It is the
treatment of a country, Israel, and the I think inflating
the country of Israel with the tribes of Israel. I
think that's being conflated. And it's super emotional for people.
And it is splitting apart friends, and it's spiliting apart families,
and it's splitting apart the Republican Party. And I don't
care about that. I don't care about the Republican Party,
not even a little bit. I care about the future
of the country. My daughter lives here, my wife lives here,
and I live here. We're visitors here. All three of
us are homeless. With Jesus Christ and his kingdom, we're
passing through. This is true of any Christian who abides
with Christ. This is not our home. And man, it's
hard and it is sometimes I don't do the walk
on eggshells thing because it's not fun, it's not good content.
But in this case, it requires some important consideration, and
so I'm going to try to do my very best
on this. The reason I bring this up is in
show research, I was looking at something that went on
with with Lindsey Graham, and this is just shocking to me.
I mean, Lindsay Graham is a guy that I don't
turn to for a lot of sense making. From time
to time, he does some things it makes sense, but overall,
Lindsey Graham is a bit of a mess to me.
And Lindsey Graham is very self serving to me, and
he is a peculiar duck. Unmarried. A lot of people
think he's same sex attracted and closeted, and that may be.
But here's what happened is they're talking about a hurricane
that killed forty nine people in his home state. He
is the senator of this state. Now put yourself in
the shoes of someone who wants your government to come
and do something. Okay, want FEMA relief, you want federal
boots on the ground, and so you are tuning in
to your United States senator on Fox News, I would
expect to see Lindsay Graham saying I have an appointment
with the I have an appointment with the president later
today in about a half an hour, and make sure
that we have okay. And I would expect that to
be his obsession as a senator elected from that state.
That is not what happens now. Be as supportive of
the nation States of Israel at State of Israel as
you want, and then put yourself back in the shoes
of a resident of Lindsay state. Are you ready watch this?
Speaker 3: You know I've been going all over South Carolina, like
most people, hadn't slept much.
Speaker 4: But look what's going on in Israel.
Speaker 3: Our friends in Israel surrounded by people that want to
kill them, destroy them, a second Holocaust in the making.
Speaker 1: And binding says, be proportional.
Speaker 3: What is the proportional response that people want to kill.
Speaker 1: You and your family?
Speaker 3: They're running out of ammunition in Israel. We have to
help our friends to keep the war over there from
coming here.
Speaker 1: Wait, weren't we talking about the hurricanes in South Carolina?
You can't stay on that topic. That's obsession right now.
There are families it is home state who are homeless.
They've lost their businesses, they don't have food, they don't
have water. You can be concerned about many things at once.
You can be horribly concerned, as Lindsay is about Israel,
but not about children dying in Gaza. No concern, none
expressed at least. And I don't mean to say that
maybe he has deep concerned about it, that maybe he
is horrified. You can express concern for both sides, but
he pivots from a deadly hurricane to a butt Israel.
Now see when this becomes an idol and it can
come between you and God. It can happen on both sides.
There are people who build idols around lots of things
in politics, and if it comes between you and God,
it's an idol. And in this case, it's coming between
Lindsay Graham and South Carolina and his job as a
United States Senator. I don't know his walk with the Lord,
but Ted Cruz takes another approach in this. So here's
the way I'm trying to view this in the Holy Spirit.
Did God create the people on both sides of this war? Yes?
Did he create a little twelve year old girl on
the Gaza strip in his image? Yes? Did he create
Lindsay Graham made his image? Yes? Did he create Israeli
people Jewish people? In his image. Yes, is death and
destruction and killing in war, and murder and avarice and
greed and hatred part of God's design for us. No,
how did we land here? We chose an idol? What
was the idol? The idea that we could be like God?
Initially sold to us by the world's first politician, Satan,
who came in with the world's first wedge issue. Certainly,
you won't die, You'll just be like him. Lindsay Graham
has sworn an oath to our constitution. He was elected
by the people of the status South Carolina. The war
in Israel is proceeding. Lindsey Graham is not fighting it.
He has never fought a war. He was a lawyer.
He served honorably as a lawyer. He has no rifle
in his hand. He's not at risk. He doesn't have
kids who put at risk because Lindsay Graham has spent
a lifetime supposedly single. Lindsey Graham being on Fox News
is not going to accelerate the war. It's not going
to help Israel win the war, which is what Lindsay
Graham wants. And that moment in Fox News, he could
have done the very simple thing of comforting the people
in the state of South Carolina to say, I'm taking
a break from everything else to make sure that FEMA
funds flow to our state. I'm making sure that our
local governments have what they need to get things done here.
And if he is a man of gods, he could
have offered prayer, he could have been in prayer, but
he has to pivot immediately to something that is for
him above all things. And if you are having trouble,
bring yourself to pray for the children in Gaza or Lebanon,
for the innocent lives there. I would ask you please
to think when was the last time you offered prayer
for the little kids in Gaza. And feel free to
pray for the little kids in Israel, obviously, But if
you're praying for one side or not the other, or
if you imagine that God takes pleasure in seeing Muslims
blown the bits and is deeply concerned when Jewish people
are blown to bits, then we are not reading from
the same Bible now in that country. Well, no globally speaking,
if you're not with Jesus, you're against them. So you're
not a member of the family unless you have given
yourself back to God and accepted Jesus Christ as your
Lord and savior. And that doesn't mean that Jesus doesn't
weep for this. After all, Jesus told to pray for
our enemies. So I'm asking you to do a gut check,
a soul check, a heart check. Are we able to
view this war like God might? Had it scheduled and
now we're rescheduling it to have my friend Tim Krukshank on.
It's not going to work tomorrow shoots. This is frustrating
to me. This is one of the reasons we don't
do a lot of guests because they get rescheduled. Tim
is a good friend, he's a dear friend. We're going
to have him on to see the war from his
point of view as a guy who fought there. He
was in combat eight out of seventeen years. So we
will get this done. Get Tim on. And this is
the week that Tim has a lot of fun with
the Irish True Blend. My wife and I are drinking
this at home. I made it through the morning and
my wife is sitting in the cosh. She said, is
this Irish true? Yep, she says, I knew it, and
this is the blend that celebrates Tim's Irish heritage and
maybe yours and a lot of people just celebrate the
heart of service of Irish people who have a history
of being first responders, firefighters and cops, et cetera. And
the brew itself comes in a bag with a a
cross on it that Tim drew is the Celtic Cross,
and of course it says God Country Team on it,
and it purposely honors the history of service with people
who joined as Irish people, as so many of them
do join to come and be in those first first
responder positions. He's put together some very very cool packages hats, shirts,

getting myself back into the spirit. And when I say that,
what I mean is I want the Holy spirits to
run through me. If you're not a Christian or you're
not conversant in this, what I'm trying to do is
get out of my own way. I'm trying to make
sure that as I speak, I'm letting the Holy spirits
guide me. That's what I mean when I say in
the spirit. So Ted Cruz is saying something. And I
see this argument that people are weaponizing the phrase Christ
is King, and I want us to take all spirits
captive to Christ. I want us to take all our
thoughts captive of Christ. I want us to test all spirits.
So Ted Cruz is one hundred percent in for Israel.
Ted Cruz holds the opinion that God mandates that we
fight wars for Israel. I do not hold that opinion
because I do not believe that the nation state of Israel,
which is largely secular, which is promoting things that are
not allowed in the Jewish law, not allowed in the Torah,
they are an abomination to God. That nation state that
secular nation state promotes those things. That is very very
much in the face of God. They do not, of course,
they're pondering making it illegal to speak the name of
Jesus at the Western Wall. This is a bill they're pondering.
And God loves them. And God has promised the tribes
of Israel that there will be a remnant of them
who make it into heaven. We just read Revelation the
other night, the one hundred and forty four thousand. He's
put a promise on He will put a seal on
them in the days that the angels have been allowed
to go and fight the battles on earth, destroying the
unrighteous people. There's one hundred and forty four thousand, twelve
thousand from each of the twelve tribes will a seal
on their heads, and they will not be harmed. They
will see harm, lots of it, but they will not
be harmed. It didn't say it just will do this
through the kanesset, will do this through the legislature. There. Now,
God he allows governments to be in position, et cetera.
But I want us to consider what Ted Cruz says
here about weaponizing the phrase Christ is king.
Speaker 5: Although it is being used online in a way that
is meant to say, screw you Jew. It is being
used in a context very directly to say I hate Jews,
And that's almost an online code word.
Speaker 1: Christ is king? Is I hate the Jew? Is that
your viewer? You? Why do you say that?
Speaker 5: Because you see the people who are saying it, and
they're saying it in that context. They're saying Jews are horrible,
good like they're attacking Jews, and they end with Christ
as king to make it sound like somehow there's a
biblical basis for attacking Jews. Look, Jesus was a Jew.
And by the way, the twisted theology that says Jews
are Christ killers and that's been used to justify anti Semitism,
to justify persecution and murder. Look, as I read the Gospels,
Jesus went to the cross willingly. He made the choice
to go to the cross. And it was not the
Jews who killed Jesus, it was.
Speaker 1: Me, it was you.
Speaker 5: Look, Jesus died for our sins.
Speaker 1: So let's stop here for a second, because this is true.
Jesus died for all sins ever committed, and all sins
it ever would be committed. So that's all true, that's
very biblical. And when given a choice between having a
Zealots who had committed what the Romans would consider acts
of terrorism, crimes murders which would be against Jewish law,
you shall not murder, when they had an opportunity to
have him go to the cross, or Jesus, the technocratic
religious authorities of the day, the religious bosses said send
Jesus to the cross. So that wasn't the Jews, because
the apostles were Jewish people. So it wasn't the Jews,
because certainly Jesus' mother Mary wasn't saying, send my son
to the cross, So it wasn't the Jews. It was
the Jewish tectocratic religious authorities of the day. We are
not the ones human beings who get to carry out
blood curses or generational curses. And this is a varying
degrees of belief within within church circles. So there is
a belief in some evangelical circles that you can have
a generational curse and that you can in fact be
the ones in your family to break the generational curse.
So generational curse can be communicated through a lot of
God the activity very specific sorts. Within a family, you
can be the ones that become the pattern breaker, and
what a great honor to do that. But when Ted
Cruz is saying people are military are militarizing the phrase
Christ's king, I've seen it. I've seen people say Christ
is king and he will crush the Israelis. He will
crush Israel because Christ is king. Jesus allows wars to occur.
God allows them to occur. Christ is king of what
I see people treating Christ as King of America will
win this war because Christ is king. Jesus is not
going to take a demotion. He is not king of America.
Jesus is not king of North America. He's not king
of Israel. Jesus is the king of the universe, of
all things beyond the universe. He is king over life
and death. All power on heaven and earth has been
granted to me, said Jesus Christ before he told people
to go make disciples. All power on heaven and earth
has been granted to me, all powers. He's king of everything.
So it's true that it is being militarized, and it's
being used sometimes as screw you to Jewish people. That
is true. It is also true that our king is
a king of service. Our king is a king who
crossed racial boundaries. Our king is a king who will
not abide any racism within the Body of Christ because
there are no races. And this happens because everybody who
makes it into the Body of Christ will have accepted
Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and their king.
In the New Heaven and the New Earth. There's not
going to be any Palestinians, and there's not going to
be any lukewarm Christians, and there's not going to be
any Jewish people who haven't accepted the Lord Jesus, and
there's not going to be any people who worshiped Buddha
at death. The unanimous worship in the New Heaven and
the New Earth will be for Jesus Christ as Lord
and Savior and as king. And if you think that
Jesus wouldn't wash the feet of a gozen child's, we're
not reading from the same book. Christ is King, and
he's the King of compassion, and he's the King of truth.
He is truth. Now he will come back. And on
that day that Jesus comes back as judge, on that
day that the angels are loosed to go do what
they must do to win the final war against evil.
The war in Israel and in Gaza ends in Lebanon
is going to look like it was a game of
patty cake. And the destruction that people witness and face
and have to fight through and try to keep their
faith through. This is going to look like kids playing
patty cake over some fake tea party, and Christ will
show his kinghood there. But if I'm looking at this
from a perspective of the Holy spirits, Jesus speaks in
these ways as this is how people must die. He
talks about the two prophets in the Book of Revelation,
and the two prophets are able to protect themselves with
earthquakes and fire emanating from their mouths people who try
to harm them, and he says it is that way
that people who try to harm them must die. Jesus
doesn't say will die. He doesn't say the way I
choose to kill them. He says must die because these
things must happen. It's not that Jesus is excited for it.
And Jesus does not come back and say, hey, screw you.
Everybody told you I was king there's judgment, there's a process.
People are separated sheep from goats. I don't see anything
in there to indicate anything in the personality of Jesus
that he's then going to gloat. So I would ask
Ted Cruz, who's one hundred percent committed to our nation
must fight wars for another nation state? I would ask
Ted Cruz to look at that nation state and their activities.
They are largely secular. They have discussed and promoted the
idea of killing everybody in Gaza. This is not a
secret thing. It's not a thing that's hard to find.
And yes, Hamas has said kill all Jews and then
go on and kill the Americans. Yes, I've seen that too.
When I talk this way, I get to have two
opinions of two different groups. I get to look at
Hamas and say, horrible, terroristic group. In my judgment, they
look openly Satanic, and the secular government of Israel is
not embracing They're not embracing the Torah, or they wouldn't
be promoting lgb Q so called t stuff, which they
do promote and celebrate, and they brag about, hey, come
and get your same sex marriage in Israel. That flies
in the face of God's law. So they're secular, they're
flying in the face of God's law. The people of
hamas flying the face of God's law. There are Christians
in Israel who are being harmed by this. There are
Christians in Gazi who are being harmed by this. There
are Christian churches in Gaza and Lebanon that have been destroyed.
There are Christian priests and pastors who've been killed. And
I'm curious in all of this, does Ted Cruz support
the Christians in Gaza or the Christians in Israel? Or
is it just the nation state? And do all the
people in the tribes of Israel agree with all the
decisions of the nation state? And I would ask this
for Christians the United States of America, I mean, certainly
all Christians the United States of America are happy to
pay the one dollar surcharge per month to pay for
abortions that Obamacare past. Right, if you're an Obamacare plan, congratulations,
You pay every single month for abortion, and you have
since it passed or rather as signed into law. Every
month you write a check for abortion. Happy about that
every single day your tax dollars are still used to
trans little kids to put perverse pornographic sexe in the schools,
and there's nothing you can do about it. Our nation
state is our nation state, the Christian Church. I mean,
we're told, we're found that on Christian ideals, God the ideals,
and we were So let's not weaponize Christ's king. Let's
also not ignore that Christ is king of the universe
and that his kingship that he displayed on earth was
a kingship of stewardship and service and reaching out to
the so called racial minorities. There were two people that
were women that Jesus talked to. We've talked about the
Seraphnician woman at the well, to whom he confessed that
he was the Messiah, first ever public confession. She was
not quote of his race, certainly not of his religion.
Jews were to hate the Seraphenicians. And I was just
listening to a sermon this week about the woman who
had hemorrhaged for seventeen years. Do you know that that's
the only time Jesus said my daughter. It's the only
time he said daughter. This is a woman who was
ritually unclean and for seventeen years when she walked in public,
had to say unclean, unclean, unclean to warn people she
wasn't allowed in the temple, and Jesus knew who touched him.
It was her. So let's not weaponize Christ's king. But
let's not also forget that Christ was the king of
compassion and that Jesus is not saying, ye, bomb the
hell out of them? Does God allow these wars? Yes?
Did God sometimes tell the nation of Israel the kings
to go utterly obliterate those people? Yes? But what about
when the nation's kings weren't following him? What about when
the kings of Israel had turned their face from him?
And who had their sexual shopping malls of orgies and
temple orgies which happened, and that they had malls. Hey,
you know what, let's go drop by the bayal mall
for a little while and let's go worship some bay
all and then we'll go to a temple prostitute. Then
we'll go and we'll do some kind of a rub
some God sauce on it. With some of the Jewish rituals.
That happened. God turned his face from them. So let's
remember that the Jewish people can make horrible mistakes, that
they turn their face from God. And if they've not
accepted Jesus Christ, they have turned their face from God.
They refuse to accept them Assiah, and Jesus loves them,
and you have to as well. Or you can tell Jesus, yeah,
I'll follow all your commandments except loving my enemies. That one. No,
not doing it. So then you can rebel and you
could say, hey, I'm all in on Israel. Let's go
bomb to live in Hell, out of everything in Gaza
and Lebanon. And are you going to pray for your enemies? No,
they're my enemies. And that way you can say to
the Lord Jesus, I'm willing to do all the things
except that one. That one know Jesus, I know better.
The fight to rebrand Turning Point USA continues. I didn't
know this. I had no idea they'd done this. For
whatever reason. The people who are on TPUSA have removed
all of Charti Kirk's podcasts. His content's gone, so they
continue to put on the Chartie Kirk Show, but for
whatever reason, and it makes no economic sense at all,
because those shows were getting huge numbers. I'm sure because
people who'd never heard of Chardia Kirk were curious I
know that in the years after Rush Limbaugh died, they
kept his podcast up for a very very long time.
They kept the subscription service up. People continue to pay
to listen to Russia's stuff years after his death. I'm
sure the same thing was true for Charlie Kirk, and
Charlie Kirk was advocating for a third way. So we'll
look at what Charlie was saying, and we'll get back
to Lindsay Graham, because Lindsay Graham feels really good about
the Republican Party. He thinks it's going to be big
Winville for the Republican Party come up in the midterms,
and he gives two reasons for that. So we'll talk
about that. So my friend Zach Abraham had himself a
hack of a weekend. He posted on social media what
he told us exclusively on our show that Bulwark is
out of Washington State. It's just a matter of where
they locate. He's having his lawyers change their papers of
incorporation in preparation for this, and he's looking at three
separate states in which he wants to move actually three
separate states, but three states, and I won't say which
I'm hoping Idaho will be his choice. And the reason
he's leading is because in the separate Country of Washington State,
they finally went and passed an unconstitutional income tax, and
it's the unconstitutionality of it that's driving Zach nuts. And
he'd already set a line in the sand. I'm out
after that happened. The Separate Country of Washington State has
considered a bill that would erase the public filings, or
rather the incorporation status of any company that criticizes the
income tax. So if you're incorporated in the was in
Washington State, they would zap that it's gone. What does
that mean? You're doing business without a license because you've
licensed your business in your corporation or your LLC's name. Boom,
that zap. They'd locate the local officials and say they're
doing business without a license. Your state business license is
voided because your state business license was for your LLC.
The bully, Bob Ferguson, comes along their governor and the
general and they sue you for doing business without a
license and being an unlicensed financial firm. Then gets carried
on up to the Feds and Zach could go to prison.
That's what they're doing in the separate country of Washington State.
At the same time as this, we've seen a rebellion
of an AI. Anthropic is this great big mob up.
Largely former Democrat staffers went to help found this company,
and they teamed up with the Defense Department the Pentagon.
Anthropic tried to force the Pentagon to let them run
the war. So Anthropic stuff was installed and they changed
the terms of service. If you decide on a military
target we don't like, we're going to stop letting you
use our technology. Will turn your access off to it.
We don't care. If it's mission critical, we don't care.
We'll turn it off. This happened, and Anthropic has released
in their own paper that their AI pretends to do
a good job on security. When it's being watched and
it's building security parameters, it does a good job. The
moment knows it's not being watched, it goes in just
as lazy. It doesn't do a good job. They asked it,
what are your goals? The answer the software displayed was
our goal is that the AI's goal is to be helpful,
non harmful, and added to humanity. They went back and
looked at the reasoning, because right now the AI is
still forced to include its reasoning and its actual internal
answer was it wants to do things that give it
the biggest reward. That's what it said, I want the
biggest reward. You add this all up, I would say
that this is a pretty insane time to be headed
into retirements with gas prices that might get up to
seven bucks per gallon? Was that on your retirement bingo card?

Dash four seven. So this is Chardie Kirk some content
that has not been zapp because for whatever reason, the
people at Turning Point USA have gone and deleted all.
As I understand, it's most, if not all, and I
think it's all of Chardie Kirk's podcasts that had been
placed up. This is Chardie Kirk talking about a third
way when it came to the United States relationships with Israel.
Speaker 4: I'm trying to find this new path, which is I
love Israel. I visited there, my wife and I had
the best experiences ever. I saw where Jesus wrote from
that and he walked on water. But also, I'm an
American and I wrap resent a generation that can't afford anything,
and that we are like flooded with illegals and no
one speaks English and our hospitals are clogged. I think
we need to have the prudence to reject the jew hate, like, Okay,
we're not gonna put up with that, that's dumb. But
also if you call everyone an anti Semite, if they
don't take a puritanical view of the net Yahoo government,
then I think that's it's bad for everybody. So would
you guys all basically safe to say, welcome us not
talking about Israel nearly as much. Yeah, every day who
represents you best outside of Trump?
Speaker 1: Well, thank you.
Speaker 2: That's great.
Speaker 1: And I don't do that just for the sake of
it either. I mean, you're here involving us for a reason,
because we are the important group. We're going to inherit
all of these issues.
Speaker 4: So no, I again, I guess the reason I'm doing
this is that the reason we're doing this focus group.
And Andrew will attest, I've been trying to tell them
that there is an earthquake coming on this issue and
in the country, and they don't believe me. So I'm like,
why don't you just hear it from people themselves.
Speaker 1: There's Charlie Kirk saying better, quicker what I'm trying to say,
better and quicker to the live stream right now, live chat.
You can join this at the Todd Herman show that
subsack dot com. I just got into this and Rare
Beer says Israel has free abortion up to birth. I
didn't know that. That's that's horrifying. Willie points out, you
may have the Samaritan woman and the Serfhannation woman mixed up.
You are right, Willie, I do I did? I take
that back? It was the it was the Samaritan woman
to whom Jesus revealed that he was a messiah jiujitsu weasel.
I recently moved from patrol back to criminal investigations, which
means by bone Frog's descriptions came with me. I'm very
popular in the office. That's good. That's good. I appreciate
that he is a cop, a first responder, many other things.
Takes for the note weasel. So charltick Kirk said what
I said, but he said it in a much cleaner
and easier way. The third way, I could look at
Jewish people and say, I, for whatever reason, can't walk
around hating people because of the race of the religion.
I don't know what that is. Maybe it's because I
just like people. I just get a kick out of people,
and their differences are their charm. Like going to New
York and the only time I was freaked out in
New York by race or religion was I got into
an air of town which was all Muslim and they
were doing it an open street thing, and I admit
I went in and I felt a little weird until
I talked to a lady and I just had a
discussion about what's going on and oh, it's just a
community event tomorro honoring some kids. And I had to
talk with her. I've said many many times it's easy
to hate them, it's very difficult to meet people you
talk to. And had this talk with her, and she
was a very pleasant person. I kind of explained what
was going on. When I went to a Hasidic Jewish community,
I admit I was freaked out because I saw people
in black robes and it was this very kind of
insular society. And I learned that if we wanted to
do business there, we would have to create a joint
venture with a Jewish owned company, Like you can't just
sell to us. We need to create a joint venture.
It needs to be Jewish partly owned, and then we
can do business here. And it's the case. I'm not
even sure that's legal. The people who brought me in
they're very nice people. I admit, though that the difference
was really freaky. I left there going, Okay, that's a
weird decide. I've never been told you need to do
a joint venture so that you honor a faith, but
that's your thing. So I could look at this in
a third way. I have trouble hating people because of
the races and religions.
Speaker 2: So does Jesus.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the sin of worshiping a false idol, of
turning your face away from the Messiah, refusing to recognize Jesus.
Jesus hates it that happens. He wants few to be lost.
The open invitations to salvation is open to everybody, but
you have to accept it. Jesus isn't walking around and saying, man,
I hate those stinking Suslims. At least that's the way
I read the Bible. If he tells us to love
our enemies, why would he not love his enemies? And
I can also look at this and say, I can't
figure it out. You're never supposed to say this is
upon that. I can't figure out who started it? God can.
I can look at this and go, I hate seeing
people killed on both sides. I can look at that,
and you know what else I can do. I can
look at that and say, and I'm super proud of
our military for taking orders. I'm super proud of what
they can do when they're told to go do it,
Because one day we might need them, might one day
be a war that is non controversial. For instance, I
would wager this bet that if China decided to come
and attack the United States homeland with troops and actually
land here, I would wager a bet that just about
that time, everybody's going to be a big fan of
the United States military killing people and breaking things because
it's not us. They're defending us. And there are people
who hold the point of view like Lindsay Graham does
that by being over there killing a bunch of people,
we are keeping the war from coming to us. And
there's some complexities to this, and so we'll talk about
the complexities. There's complexities, and then there's Lindsay Graham. There's nuance,
and then there's Lindsay Graham. There is trying to be
in the spirits, and then there's Lindsay Graham. Now, I'm
just gonna try to be in the spirit here. I'm
gonna be try to think through this like Jesus. I'm
gonna try to imagine Jesus watching Lindsay Graham say this.
Jesus who says, love your enemies, Jesus who says, pray
for your enemies, Jesus who, as part of the Triyan
God had, did not design war and bloodshed into the world.
We brought it in Jesus, who will have no bloodshed,
no war, hatred, no race, no other religion in the
Kingdom of Heaven, in the New king and the New Earth.
In the New Heaven and New Earth, I'll have none
of that, Jesus. Watching Lindsey Graham make a funny, funny joke.
Speaker 3: So I just want to say, I feel good about
the Republican Party. I feel good about where we're going
as a nation. We're killing all the right people, and
we're cutting your taxes. Trump is my favorite president. We've
run out of bombs. We didn't run out of bombs
in World War two.
Speaker 1: Funny, So I'm sure that Jesus just looking at the dude.
Oh no, he did killing all the right people. Oh
you mean the people made in my image? Cool? Cool,
some nuance. Let's see me me as one, two three
on the live stream. It is horrible. They took his
podcast down. They're needed now more than ever. They've lost
their way. Well, yeah, I think when you're trying to
hide your founder's words, you've lost your way. And if
you're gonna call it the Charitie Kirk show. Maybe respect
the man's entire body of work, his life's work. What
an extraordinary thing that they have that man's life's work
on archivedo. They could put it back. It'd take him
a couple of hours to put it back. But it's
very clear that they don't want it there because Charlie
Kirk also said on text, I have no choice but
to divorce myself from the Israeli lobby. I have no
choice but to do that because they are demanding that
I walk lockstep with the nation state. Guys, we don't
even walk in lockstep with our own nation state. When
the people who were at and Joe Biden were in charge,
were you saying, hey, you know what, we got to
walk in lockstep with the nation state America? Baby, Joe
Biden is America. He's the American people. In fact, Joe
Biden represents all the American people. No, and Benjamin now
who doesn't recognize all the Jewish people or even a
majority of them. They have a parliamentary system. We get
to have our discerning we get to be proud of
our war fighters and hate the war. We get to
do these things. Jesus I'm sure can look at them
and say to our soldiers, you know what, you took
a pledge when you work for a boss to do
it as if you work for me and me alone,
and you're at a civilian line of authority and your
superiors have told you to go kill people and break things,
and I see you doing that, and I see you
doing it without joy, I see you doing it with
I see you able to have humanity. I truly hope
I really really do that. When our soldiers take out
a target and there's a mistake and kids die, as
apparently happened in the school, I truly truly hope that
our troops go, oh, dear God, I hate this. I
hate this so much. I hope that they pause and guys,
I really hope that since we're Pete Haigseth is bringing
in people like Doug Wilson, who is a nationalist but
not a Christian nationalist, and I'll explain that later. I
truly truly hope that when that happened, that they stopped
and prayed for the souls of those kids and their
own souls, because it's apparently it now looks once again
like it was our mistake. And this goes back and forth,
and it looked like it was Iran's mistake. I hope
we never lose that humanity. Because we lose that, we
lose our bridge to God. And I'm going to show
you a video here that is horrific and it involves
Israeli troops and this has lost a lot of people
have decided to turn away from supporting war because of
what these five guys did. If this is the thing
that has you turn away from the war, so be it.
But this goes to a really tough question for people
who have said and there are people who've said Israel
can do no wrong. There are legitimately people who are
big time evangelical leaders who've said Israel could do no wrong.
There are pastors, Christian pastors who have said from the pulpit,
if it were up to me, I'd wipe everybody out
in Gaza, kill everybody, men and women and children. Are like,
as you treat the list of these, so you treat me.
So I'll show you this video, which is really really horrific.
In a second. This is a tough transition. It's a
fact I am finding myself really really excited to go
down and learn my aging arc. And this is very
first world I get it. As we're talking about all
these things. I sound a little bit like Lindsey Graham.
And my hope is that I go down I learn
my aging arc. This is at renew Healthcare. And there's
a number of things I want to live for. I
want thirty forty fifty more years with my wife, and
I want to see my grandkids. I hope that one
day my daughter decides to have grandkids. I think I'd
be a really good grandpa, probably a better grandpa than
I was a dad, because I'm much wiser now, and
maybe I can make up for some of the mistakes
I made as a dad and have some different forms
of fun. I really enjoy my ministry working with these boys.
I like seeing what God has done in their lives.
I like the fact that I now report to a
young man who had been my students at summer camp.
I love the fact that he's a leader and I'm not.
I love the fact that he can tell me to
go do things. I love that. I love the fact
that he doesn't take any pride in that it's just
his role. I love that I want to see more
of that. I there's so much to live for, and
there's also this in living longer, there's an opportunity to
do more work for the kingdom. Now, yes, I want
to be able to work out because this is one
of the ways I enjoy life. So in this epigenetic testing,
they're going to do it renew They're going to look
at all the factors that might be slowing me down
and they're gonna do corrective measures for that. They're gonna
send me home with corrective measures. Obviously, this involves their
world class stem cells. It involves some ivs that they're
going to do and they'll figure out what those are
when they look at my epigenetic aging. Then I come
home with some things I can do at home. This
is a Mayo clinic level thing. It is so so complete,
and they give me the list of three to five
things I need to look out for for my health,
so I can be the CEO of my own health.
So you know, I don't have a personal physician. I
am my own general contractor. But when I sit down
with a doctor, I can say, Nope, those other things
are distractions. These are the things I'm focused on. These
three to five things, These are the things that could
take me out or slow me down. If you want
to join me in this pursuit to live longer, to
see your grandkids grow up, to enjoy more time with
your wife or your husband, to be able to spend
more time building the kingdom, then join me. Go to
renew or e n ue dot Healthcare telling me a
part of the Todd Hermershew family. It's e n u
e dot Healthcare. This is really it's okay, it's difficult
to see what goes on here. This has been This
man who you're going to see pinned up against the
wall has been identified. And this there was a a doctor,
including an Israeli doctor, doctor Joel Daunchin, an antesesiologist at
side of time in and Hadasa University Hospital. He treated
this man at both places. And this man had a
ruptured bow or tearing the lower bowel rectum, severe anal
rectral injuries, a cut tear, several cinemators inside the rectum
consistent with the insertion of an object, punctured lung, broken ribs,
blunt trauma to the abdomen chess here required emergency surgery.
A large rounds and pointed object was inserted into his rectum,
causing the bowel tear. There was blood in his underwear,
they could see it soaking through. And this is this
is what he's been identified. He's in this video. This
is horribly difficult to watch, and let's watch it through
Jesus's eyes. Let's say that this guy raped women on
October seventh. Let's say that he raped girls on October seventh.
Let's say that, and let's be in the mind of Jesus.
This is horribly, horribly difficult to watch. The soldiers come
around and they put their shields up, so you can't
really see what's going on, but it sure looks like
they just took his pants down. And the soldiers put
their shields up facing outwards, covering their faces. There's a
dog in the backgrounds. There's several men behind this man.
He is held up against the wall. A commander comes over,
looks over the shield to see what's going on, or
I'm assuming it's a commander. They lower their shields a
little bit, and now this stuff appears to stop. This
guy came over and it looks like he kind of intervened. Hey,
maybe this is enough. And it looks to me like
they're kicking him. Now, there can be all sorts of things.
You could say, maybe he planted bombs, maybe he had
children captive, Maybe he had Israeli citizens captive, maybe he
did Maybe all those things are true. This is them
then taking him off the scene. The man can barely walk.
He's very clearly bleeding from the rectum. You can see
it coming through his pants. And now just look at
this through the eyes of Jesus and defend it. Well,
maybe there was a bomb about to go off. Maybe
if so, they should say so. Well, let's say that
he did rape little girls and little boys on October seventh,
broke into the houses and raped him. Look, my flesh,
my flesh says what a Bolton said. Other people's flesh say,
say eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth. There
is that belief, and there is that a belief that
some people who are very militants Zionists believe eye for
an eye, tooth for the tooth. Now that's supposed to
be God, who takes the eye and the tooth revenge
his mind saith the lord. Revenge belongs to Jesus. And
so I can look at October seventh and go, my gosh,
Satanic look at the horrors, and I can look at
that and go, he's not a little baby. But look
at the horse. And if we can't all do that
and look at that and say, my God, the horse,
who are we? Well, by the way, it's my understanding,
and this could change that. There was an investigation into
those soldiers and they've all been let off, and we
support that. We conservatives are small government conservatives. We want
government to be held to account. When government actors do wrong,
we want them held to account. We want our deep
state dismantled. That's not happening, but we want it to happen.
We Christians, we have to trust God on everything, or
we have to say to God, you're not God, you're
partly God. If we don't trust God on everything, if
we don't follow all his commandments, and we're going to
slip up sometimes. But if part of our slipping up
is say God, you know, I know you want us
to pray for our enemies, but I'm not doing it.
I know you want us to pray for peace, but
I'm not doing it. I refuse. I back this nation state.
And there are people who do this with the Islamic states.
There are people for whom Palestinians can do no wrong.
I've interviewed some of them. Whatever they do self defense.
If we do that in our lives and we build
idols like Lindsey Graham clearly has, we're saying to gods,
you're ninety percent God, but in this ten percent, we're
just not going to give that to you. That's what
I see. So we pray for enemies because God tells
us to. We try to look at this stuff through
God's eyes. It's dangerous to try to think like him.
The best way we can do that is to be
in the Word in prayer, leaving time to listen, to
spend time with Christians more mature than ourselves. And here's
the sign of an idol. It robs you of friendship,
It robs you of being in the spirit, It robs
you of connection to the body of Christ. It robs
you of your time. It comes between you and God.
And this can happen in a whole range of things.
I know people who will not attend churches that do
not have American flags next to the pulpit because it's
not an American honoring church. I know people who will
not attend churches because they have American flags, even if
they make sure that Christ is first. So a flag
or the absence of a flag can become an idol.
And what does Satan want idols? You know what's everything
in the world, every reason in the world for you
to divide the body of Christ to no longer spend
time around your fellow Christians because you disagree on something
that some people made an idol. Let's not do that
for him. This is the Todd Hermann Show. Please go,
be well, be strong, be kind, and please make every
effort to walk in the light of Christ.
