Speaker 1: Welcome to the three Stories version of The Todd Herman
Show and its notes from the road. You know, hotel room,
so it sounds a little bit different. Story number one,
God bless the people who make things. I'm serious, God
bless the people who make things. And story number two,
who's going to heal the children's minds? That's something we'd
better be asking ourselves. And story number three is this
why people like Andrew Tate say Jesus Christ was and
is weak. We'll talk about this with the help of Bisible.
Don't let your business put you at risk. Make sure
you get legitimate corporate credits. The people at bisible will
show you how to do that in seven easy steps.
It's gobisible dot com. And thank you to God Almighty.
Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one hundred percent disapproved by
big pharma technocrats and tyrn s everywhere from the hind
mountains of Free American. Here's the Emerald City tired of
her Man.
Speaker 1: Today is a day the Lord has made, and these
are the times through which God has decided we shall live.
And I continue to be in portugarph to Mexico. Continue
to get health care, not disease care. Health care, and
I continue to be amazed at the difference of going
and seeing people who make things at their hands. Now
this happens in America. There's plenty of people who cook,
and plenty of people who take great pride and artistry
and their cooking. And it's not just that I went
out this morning and was early for an appointment at
the clinic. And apparently I didn't know this, but apparently
on Tuesdays they set up a vendor mole down by
the clinics. So I went walking around and a guy
came out, businessman, and he convinced me to buy some
things for the family. And actually one of these is
for me, but in a way it's also for the family.
And no, I'm not going to tell you what it
is because they don't have these yet. But he showed
me a video of him making these things. And this
is what sold me, because anyone can come along and
say it's handcrafted and it's made in Mexico, and you
know who knows. But he showed me videos of his
shop and his store and then him making these items.
Now I can't do that. God did not gift me
in the way of making things. I probably couldn't fashion
a box like this. This box I probably couldn't fashion,
but there are people who can. But this in the
United States of America is starting to become. It's not
just a lost art or trade, it's a lost way
of being. Making things is a way of being. I
can remember when I did do construction, even though I
seriously I cannot build a stinking thing. I actually took
pride for many years in driving by the apartment buildings,
and all I did was dug the ditches. That's all
I could do. But I remember taking girlfriends by and
male friends by and saying, yeah, I built those right,
So I said, yeah, I dug the ditches. But people
who can legitimately build things can step back and look
at a world that they have made fundamentally better for
other people. And the change in the United States, this
massive massive change of Oh, we're all going to be
white collar and we're all going to code, etc.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I know, coding is sort of building a thing, and
hardware sort of building a thing, but it doesn't really
get down to taking your hands and hammering together the
elements God created. Mike Rowe, of course, has done a
brilliant job of making work interesting again. Or you might say,
making it sexy again. He spoke with Moms for Liberty
about a trend he's seeing which is deeply disturbing.
Speaker 4: It's a horror story, but it's important to read because
it's true. And the stat that sticks with me and
worries me today is seven per two million able bodied
men today and their prime working years are not only unemployed,
they're affirmatively it's just in the United States. Yes, seven
point two million. This number has never existed in peacetime before,
but right now seven point two million men officially not
even looking. Now, that's bad. But what's worse is the
answer to the question of well, what are they doing.
Are they volunteering with the JCS, the Kawanas Club, the
Lions Club, the Boy Scouts Skills USA four h Are
they involved with their church? Two thousand hours a year
on average on screens?
Speaker 1: And look what the world is telling many of these
young men two thousand hours a year on screens. They're
telling them, Hey, you're an e athlete, you play in esports, No,
you don't. Putting your hands on an implement and I
know a video game handle is an implement of whatever
you call the thing that you hold in video games.
It's not a football. You're not catching a football, you
are not running on a football field. You are not
tackling people. You are not making plays, you're not making baskets.
You're not wrestling, you're not fighting. You're playing a video game.
But the numbers around tradesmen the United States, Cordier, Mike Rowe.
There are for every five trades people who retire only
to replace them. Now, I know that the smartest people
in the world, like Janet Yellen, who's been wrong about
every significant thing and our economy and everything she's ever
ever done as an economist to us, has destroyed or
God is on the path the destruction. I know they
don't like these sorts of jobs because in their mind,
everybody wants to be them, sitting in a chair and
being part of the laptop class. And then there's people
like me. Dang it, I wish I could build things.
God gave us all these elements. He gave us a
desire to take these elements and to combine them into things, useful,
things that are beautiful, things that last. They don't last,
like the Kingdom of Heaven. That we are robbing young
men of something innate in many young men, and that
is the desire to build. Now where I live in
North Idaho, it's very very common for young men to
want to go into HVAC, heating and air conditioning, etc.
They want to go be plumbers, they want to go
work in construction trades, and God bless them for that.
They want to build. But I'll tell you something very
common with those young men. There's a commonality. They also
want to build families. I've noticed that the young men
who are pursuing those trades, and those trades are going
to pay well. They're also pursuing the building a family,
intentional building a family. I know young men who are
twenty three and twenty four years old who have spent
their lives learning how to be men. Now they are men,
and they're learning how how to raise families, how to
build families. We're all called to be fruitful and multiplied.
Some of us are not gifted with kids. It's not
our gifting and it's not something that the Lord intends
for us. Most of us are, and most of us
he does expect to have kids. Just look at the data.
But the building of things when people can take their
children out to a housing development, they built, or art
they've created, or food they've cooked. They are showing their
kids how they took the elements God gave us the
common blessings and didn't just build something, but also glorified God.
Building well done always glorifies the ultimate maker, because we
didn't make any of the elements. And back to these
mystery gifts. Yeah, there's something in relation to building the
kingdom in there. God bless the people who build. Story
number two. We need to be discussing who is going
to heal the minds of children. There's a dynamic in
families with kids that if mom and dad are not
getting along, the kids are not solid. There's a dynamic
in families where kids feel that they need to choose sides.
And we watched this when we were in the teen
and adolescent mental health world. Praise God, that's over. Praise
God what God has done in our family with our daughter.
Praise God that that time is so far past. But
the education remains. The things we observed and learn remains.
So when a family is kind of set apart at
one another, house divided cannot stand. The kids sense this
and sometimes they choose sides. They feel it's their job.
Their duty to choose sides, and that creates a whole
bunch of emotional dissonance in the family because one parent
could be on the out when there is an unsettled
nature in a family that has these results. But what
about the uns nature of the government attacking family? Now,
this is purposeful. It is part of the year's year
of program. It's MAOS to the core, and it is
destroying the minds of children, the safety of children, the
emotional welfare of children, because if you're being told that
your mom and dad are not trustworthy people, you're being
forced to choose a side. And sadly, most kids spend
more time awake with other people than their parents. If
they're going to government school and then going to government
sports programs and then going to other programs, you might
want to look and see who's actually spending the most
time with your kids, and all too often its organizations.
They do not mean your kids. Well, so who's going
to heal their minds? Well, there's a shift happening. There
are parents now aware of the fact that their kids
are under attack, and they're beginning to speak out. But
now the attack is shifting all the way down to
a first grade. I'm going to tell you about a
first grader who was punished for writing three words. Did
he already guess what the words are? Clearly there's a war.
Clearly we're fighting in this and clearly I believe that
all war is spiritual, in all things are spiritual. My
friend Tim Krukshank, he's the founder of bon Frog Coffee
and he's a retired Navy seal, did three deployments on
our behalf, one of them in Babylon. By the way,
every bag of bone Frog Coffee says God Country Team
on it, God Country Team, because that's how Tim sees
the world, and to him, team also means family. There's
an amazing bag that he has made with an amazing
roast of coffee, and it's called Golden Age, and you
got it. It comes straight out of what President Trump
promised about our economy, a new Golden Age. And praise God,
President Trump's policies are doing so well in the polls,
even among Democrats, some of his core policies. It's so
good to see. So this bag is a recognition of
our chance to have our country back. This is how
Tim sees it, and I think it's how you see it.
The bag is a collector's item in my opinion. Go

It's Bonefrogcoffee dot com slash todd. This is from Jefco
Public Schools and a dad is now alert and awake,
and he is speaking out about how the school intended
to undermine him alienate his daughter from him. There is
a changing. Parents are alert. Praise God.
Speaker 3: I'm not a politician. I'm not allowed voice on social media.
Speaker 5: I'm a father, a quiet one when it goes to work,
tries to write by his family and stays out of
the spotlight. But now now you're gonna remember my name.
You'll remember it because I'm not just fighting from my daughter.
I'm finding make sure that what happens to me to
my family never happens to another parent in this district.
My daughter changed for identity, not after years a discussion
or family dialogue, not a joint input from both of
her parents. No, this happened quickly, secretly, encouraged my school
appointed therapist and a system that never thought to include me,
and the school didn't inform me.
Speaker 3: They didn't include me, they didn't even ask me. They
replaced me.
Speaker 5: By the time I found out, I was already labeled
the problem. My objections weren't tree as concerns, their tree
as opposition. My voice was dismissed as hateful. My presence undermined.
The therapist, the school, and eventually the court appointed investigator
all decided that because I would affirm something, I didn't
deserve to parent my daughter equally anymore. They didn't accuse
me of abuse, they didn't claim I'd caused harm. The
only evidence against me was that I said I'm not
ready to affirm this yet. That's it, And now I'm
at risk of losing parenting time, of being erased from
my daughter's life. Not because I failed as a father,
but because I dared to ask questions.
Speaker 3: And it started in your schools.
Speaker 5: Your systems made it possible, and your silence made it permanent.
You gave my ex all the tools she needed to
take our daughter from me, tools that she.
Speaker 3: Couldn't have forged on her own.
Speaker 5: You gave her the therapist, you gave her the ideological support,
and you never once thought, shouldn't the father be involved too?
I was supposed to have one opponent in this fight
for my daughter, one voice with equals, say, one person
across the table who I would battle for influence, and
that person was supposed to be my ex But you
gave her reinforcements.
Speaker 3: You gave her a system that cut me out of
the picture.
Speaker 5: You handed her the tools to eliminate me for my
daughter's life, and with your help, she's trying to erase
me altogether. You replaced my voice, you stole my seat
at the table, and you made decisions about my daughter
without me. Mary Parker, Paula Reid, Aaron Kenworthy, Danielle Varna,
and Michelle Applegate. Your names are etched into my memory,
not for who you are before. You're an in action
cost me, and I'll make sure my name is etched
in yours.
Speaker 3: Two.
Speaker 5: I don't care if you personally signed the policies, stayed
silent while they passed, or simply chose not to know.
Speaker 3: You were all responsible.
Speaker 1: There is going to be an apple absolute reckoning, because
when you take efforts like this and steps to remove
a father from having anything to do with his daughter,
you are breaking the family unit that God invented. And
unless these people were parents, I can't promise things on
behalf of God, but I can read his word. And
one of the harshest things Jesus ever said was about
people who caused the little ones to stumble on their
way to him, and he said, you would be better
off having been tossed into the ocean with a millstone
around your neck. So think about that. You would be
better off drowning in the ocean if you're causing little
ones to stumble on the way to him. But who's
going to fix her mind? Who's going to be there
for her when she is twenty five and she's got
a massive, massive hole in her life where the father belonged.
You and I are well familiar with people with parental issues,
people who are abandoned. They can't trust men, or they
go the other direction and they trust every man, every
boy with intimate contact because it's a proxy for love.
These people are setting children up for this. So who's
going to heal their minds? It has to be a
community of people. It has to be us. If this
is bothering your conscience, this is going on around you.
That is, if you're a Christian. That's the Holy Spirit
speaking to you. You're being called to be a watcher
at the gate. You're being called to speak, You're being
called to warn others. And if the Holy Spirit is
convicting you and you work in these worlds like schools,
et cetera, and you're convicted, he's calling you to leave
or to fight for real meaning going after the bosses
by name, going after the policies by name. That's what
he's calling you to do. Who's going to heal the children? Well,
ultimately God is the ultimate physician, but God has to
be brought to them. We are going to have to
be a generation of people who go and evangelize like
it's never been done, and it's working. When people become conservative,
something happens. It's so fascinating. It's almost now axiomatic. People
become politically conservative and then suddenly they're becoming Christian. And
as I said the other day, I believe God is
using politics in this way because one side of the
political equation is so far outside the lines that God
is making it clear to others that they're flat and
seeing people. There was a first grader, a little kid
who decided to use three words to describe an opinion,
and a California school district decided she was in big trouble.
And this is before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
In an argument in Pacific Legal Foundation, attorney Caleb Trotter
has argued this case it's BB versus Capistrono United as
a unified school district, and BB is a young girl.
She was forced to apologize, banned from giving future drawings
to classmates, and excluded from recess for two weeks over
an innocuous drawing. Pacific Legal Foundation. I have a link
to this in the show notes. You can go and
read this, but here is part of a hearing where
this was discussed. We're not dealing with.
Speaker 5: First graders who are engaged in discussions in the marketplace
of ideas.
Speaker 1: First Graders are supposed to be learning to tie their shoes.
Speaker 3: They're supposed to be learning.
Speaker 5: Maybe then you don't give a Black Lives Matter course
to a first grader, maybe you teach tine shoes beautiful.
Speaker 1: The woman responding maybe you don't give a Black Lives
Matter poster to a first grader was one of the jurists.
Praise God, one of the judges see these schools have
been teaching that black lives matter, and as have said
a good jillion times, of course black lives matter. That's
why I do not support the MAOIs group Black Lives
Matter Incorporated. Because they're getting Black people killed and they're
ruining the minds and the souls of black people. So
of course they don't support them. How could I? And
what the little girl drew and there's a picture of
this in the show notes is she wrote any life matters.
She misspelled matters. Maybe that should be what the school
is concerned about. She spelled an m at er, but
she had drawn a picture of any life any color.
Who's going to heal her mind? She's been told she's
a thought criminal. She's been told she's a bad girl
for saying any life matters. We're going to have to
be a nation of people who beg God to allow
his voice to shine through ours, his face to shine
through ours, because ultimately, ultimately he's the ultimate physician. There's
going to be a reckoning, there's going to be a
judgment day, and Jesus will ask these people, why did
you do this to my kids? So, if you're one
of these people doing this, and you happen to stumble
upon a right wing, bitter, clinging Bible thumpin idiote me,
maybe you should just go consult the Bible about what
happens to people who separate kids from Jesus. Because I'm
telling you, and the Body of Christ, Jesus has made
very very clear he does not see race at all.
Story number three. I don't like Andrew Tate, although I
would platform him in five seconds. A friend of mine
is done so well in publishing and defending children. Her
name is Katie Faust. She's written I think now three books,
two with her friends Stacy Manning, and now One is
the third book she's written. She is a child's right advocate,
and she and I had a discussion at one point
about Andrew Tate and platforming him. I would platform Andrew
in five seconds. He wouldn't stay on the set because
of the questions I would ask Andrew Tate, beginning with
is Jesus Christ Week? Because Andrew Tate had said that
Christians are weak because they allowed themselves to be intimidated,
so I would ask him is Jesus Christ Week? I
would also ask him, of course, about the abuse allegations
that continue to mount and yes there are allegations, and
yes there are court cases, and yes they are believable,
and yes there are photos, and yes there are textic changes.
But he did come out and say that Christians are
weak because they allow themselves to be intimidated and they
allowed themselves to be made fun of. Was Jesus Christ week?
I mean, after all, he was the suffering servant. That's weakness.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk through this, including the thirty pieces of
silver that Judas is Scariot sold Jesus to the religious
authorities for. And it wasn't about money. I don't think
it was about money with Judas. I mean he loved money.
That was one of his sin problems, one of his
sin issues, one of his idols. But I think what
he was really seeking was power. And this is what
money has become in the United States. Money is power,
and it's true globally. It's not just the United States,
but money is so powerful in the United States that
people are using it in ways that are going to
lead to destruction. For instance, the artificially high, insane profit
margins of companies based upon working with our most vital,
most dangerous geopolitical foe, the Chinese Communist Party. That's a stupid,
shortsighted decision, and anytime China wants, they can pull the plug.
So praise God that President Trump is finally trying to
right size this, albeit with one step forward and two
step back. So my friend Zach Abraham at Chief investment
officer a Bulwark Capital Management, he's been calling this out
for decades, as he's been calling out the massive inflation,
as he's been calling out the fraud of the Federal Reserve.
And it doesn't win him any big friends in the
financial world to do this, but he's a truth teller.
So he will truthfully look at your portfolio if you're five, ten,
fifteen years from retirement, and he will truthfully tell you
if you're overexposed to risk in his mind, because risk
management is an obsession and he does that by actively
managing every single portfolio which can reduce risk and volatility.
He'll have this discussion for free, with no obligation and
a guarantee at the end of that you're going to
have a different opinion about your retirement account. Go to
know your Risk radio dot com. That's Kanow Know your

six seven to seventy nine Risk Bowick Capital Managements and
Investment Advisor representative at Truck Financial LLCN sec Richister Investment Advisor.
Investments involved risk and are not guaranteed. Past performance doesn't
guarantee future results Truck twenty five one three seven. So
was Jesus Christ week for being the suffering servant? And
if you don't know that phrase, it comes from the
book of Isaiah. And this is a book, Isaiah fifty
three that has some of them remarkable prophecies about Jesus
Christ in history, and there's a ton of them, and
Jesus is fulfilled nearly every single one of them. It
was written long, long before Jesus Christ was born. In
Isaiah chapter fifty three, verses three through seven, we read
a prophecy that describes a servant despised, rejected, bearing the
sorles and sins of others, wounded for transgressions, and led
like a lamb to slaughter. Jesus fulfilled every single one
of these. He is rejected by many. That's John chapter one,
verse eleven, crucified for humanity sin first Peter chapter two,
verse twenty four, silent before his accusers, Mark fifteen, verses
three through five. You can also reference Matthew eight eight seventeen,
John twelve thirty eight, and Acts eight thirty two through
thirty three for all of these things led like a lamb. Indeed,
when he entered Jerusalem where he was going to go
be crucified, he entered through the sheep's gate. Why because
he was the lamb. He was a pass oberlamb. So
he's weak, right Andrew Tate? This is weakness, right Andrew Tate.
In Psalm twenty two one, verses sixteen eighteen, we read
about the cry of anguish and the crucifixion detail begins
with my God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Does that sound familiar? It should, because that's what Jesus
said on the cross. Jesus quoted that twenty two one
on the cross. According to Matthew twenty seven, verse forty six,
his crucifixion included the piercing of hands and feet, that's
Luke twenty four thirty nine. And soldiers divided his clothes
John nineteen twenty three through twenty four. Did that make
Jesus weak? Because he was crying out to the Father,
why have you forsaken?
Speaker 4: Me.
Speaker 1: Is that weakness?
Speaker 3: Andrew Tate.
Speaker 1: In Zachariah chapter twelve, verse ten, we read of looking
upon me whom they have pierced, and mourning for him.
Jesus was pierced with the spear, John nineteen thirty four.
His death led to sorrow among his followers, later seen
as a fulfillment of redemption. That's John chapter nineteen, verse
thirty seven. Was that weakness that he allowed himself to
be pierced. In Isaiah fifty, verse six, we read about
humiliation and beating. The servant gives us back to those
who strike him, and his face to shame and spitting.
Speaker 3: That was fulfilled.
Speaker 1: Jesus was beaten. He was scourged. In all likelihood, he
was beaten and scourged so badly that his ribs were
showing through his back. Think of that, Matthew chapter twenty six,
verse sixty seven, twenty seven, Chapter twenty seven, Verses twenty
six through thirty. Verify this. Psalm sixty nine, verse twenty one.
Gall and vinegar offered. The prophecy was to suffering. One
has given gall for food and vinegar to drink. Jesus
was offered vinegar to drink while on the Cross, John
nineteen twenty nine through thirty was it weakness? Genesis chapter three,
verse fifteen. The seed of the woman will bruise the
serpent's head, but is he he will be bruised. Jesus,
born of a woman Galatians four to four, defeated Satan
through his death and resurrection Hebrews chapter two, verse fourteen,
though he suffered the so called bruised heel in the process.
In the Book of Daniel, another messianic book and a
prophetic book, this is chapter nine, verse twenty six, we
read about the anointed one will be cut off and
have nothing. When Jesus was crucified, seemingly ending his mission,
it was part of the redemptive suffering, and as written
about in Mark chapter fifteen, verse thirty seven and in
Psalm thirty four twenty no bones will be broken. Jesus's
bones were not broken, though they tempted to break, as
they were a tempted to break his bones, but they
did not, unlike the thieves who are crucified with him.
That's in John chapter nineteen, verses thirty two through thirty six.
So this is weakness, right Andrew Tates at one time
was sort of a fighter, an MMA type fighter. He's
a guy that keeps himself in good physical condition, and
one would assume that when he's not apparently beating up women,
which appearance to be most of the time, he can
probably defend himself against men, maybe even be the aggressor
against men. That is, again, when he's not apparently beating
up women. Is it weakness that Andrew Tate doesn't walk
around beating up every man who sees or is it
discernment because even the devil has times or he shows restraint.
Was it weakness that the god of the universe allowed
this to happen? Was it weakness that Jesus knew every
pain he would suffer, but he went through it anyway?
Is that weakness to allow yourself to be scourged and
beaten and hung on across and people to attempt to
humiliate you when you're doing it to save the souls
of many? Is that weakness? Now, people like Andrew Tate
are going to find out just how unweak Jesus is
when he returns as king and judge, and every knee
will bow and every time will confess. And I'm not
trying to make fun of it. I'm at my own
challenges on Judgment Day, though I know I'm saved in
the blood of Christ. I do want to see Andrew
Tate's face when he realizes that these weak Christians are
led by a king who's going to banish evil forever
in a massive war that he's already won. This is
the Todd Hermannshaw. Please go, be well, be strong, be kind,
and please make every effort to walk in the light
of Christ.
