Speaker 1: Welcome to the Three Stories version of The Todd Herman Show.
Meet the grandson of one of America's first culture warriors,
Tim Wildman. Caitlin Clark's advice to kids in sixty minutes lied,
but the reserport is a hero. But then they went
and did this thing where they erased Kamala's words and
then made it seem like she made sense. We'll talk
about this all with the help of our YouTube channel
YouTube dot com slash at the Todd Herman Show and
with God Almighty.
Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one percent disapproomed by big
pharma technocrats and Tyrone Sebrywhere from the high mountains of
Free America. Here's the Emerald City exile Todd Herman.
Speaker 1: Today is the day the Lord has and these are
the times to which God has decided we shall live.
And I'm sitting next to Walker Wildman and we're in Tupelo, Mississippi.
He is part of the storied Wildman family, and the
Wildman family has been given a responsibility by God to
steward network of one hundred and eighty radio stations and
films and documentaries and books. And Walker, it's great to
be sitting in I was gonna say, your studios do
you don't view it that way to the donor studios, right,
that's right.
Speaker 3: We're a nonprofit, so we wouldn't be here without donors
and supporters around the country. But yeah, this is the
Lord's work, this is his ministry to Steward, my grandfather
started it, and I'm just glad to be a part
of it.
Speaker 1: I wanted to compliment you on your office being small,
your dad's office being small. I've seen it on video.
I've been in a lot of offices, media offices in
New York Times, Associated Press, NPR, multiple times, NBC, black
you know, Black Rock. The lobby is gorgeous. It honors
Jesus Christ. I love that. But I love the fact
that here are well done, beautifully done. But none of
this is the fancier Herman Miller couches and all that.
So thanks for that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
Speaker 3: We went through the building planning process when we built
this Don Wildman Center for Cultural Transformation, and the architects
were kind of going through the formulas and they were
talking about, yeah, the executives, they usually get bigger offices,
which makes sense. But then we started looking at the
square footage, and we were like, you know, we only
need like one hundred and fifty square foot a person,
even for executives. So we went with what's practical and
it works. It's a nice quality building, but yeah, to
your point, it's not elaborate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm glad to see that as someone who
works for you and then ultimately works for God through
the donors. And you were the grandson of one of
the original cultural warriors before that was even a phrase,
and I want to talk about what that was like
to grow up that way. What's grap is a cultural
warrior and his name was Don Wildman. He's gone home
with the Lord, So we'll talk about that in a second.
There are people who have special needs kids and this
happens that they have to adjust their expectation for their kids.
And this is really hard for parents. Parents say, well,
my kid's going to be he's going to go to
my college and he's going to pursue my profession. And
when they find out the kids have are non neurotypical,
a lot of times for parents that can be oh
my gosh. And it's a difficult thing to adjust expectations.
Doesn't mean that you stop loving you stop pushing, stop believing.
For parents of kids have special needs, for them to
understand that Alan has it really tough. He's effectively nonverbal.
He has at eighteen operations. He's only fourteen years old.
But he works. He invents soap. He works at the
company in quality control. His brother Ian is impacted by autism.
He works. He contributes Amy who got late on set autism.
She's thriving, helping with social media, et cetera. She was
told she's hirable and the soap is of pristine quality.
There's no way John would put his son's name on
a soap that sucked. So they researched a family. They
found them in the Midwest. They are three generations into
the soap crafting world. That's what that's all they do.
They took on the fragrances that Alan thought of, that
came from special memories for him. They create those soaps.
They are all natural, they're made in America. To give
this to families with kids with special needs, partic of
the younger kids, it's a side of hope. And every
time they washed their bodies they can remember that. Yep,
our kids too can work. Our kids can contribute what
the word saying is not true. So go to Alan
soaps dot com slash todd. That's Alan Soaps dot com
slash todd. So you growing up, Grandpa's job is culture warrior.
He's on TV. And do you remember the first thing
in culture that he kind of on what she sort
of declared war in the name of God. Well, that
would have been network television.
Speaker 3: Back in the you know, in the mid to late seventies,
there weren't one hundred channels, right, there were five or six,
three or four depending on which region of the country
you lived in. So yeah, he went to war against
network television, and there weren't a lot of options out there.
So if there was sex, violence, and nudity on television,
that was pretty much it.
Speaker 1: You were stuck with it.
Speaker 3: So network television was his first battle, and he got
a lot of publicity. All the major papers covered it,
and how did they cover them? It was very cynical
and negative because he was this Mississippi Methodist preacher who
had a little bit of a Mississippi slang to it,
which we're still carrying strongly today with our Southern accent.
But yeah, he was kind of the joke of the country.
And these network television executives were on their high horse.
You know, they were thinking, you know, we're bringing in
millions of dollars through these advertisers and through these shows,
and television is the new thing, right, every family watches
television in the evening at the time, and they thought
to themselves, this Mississippi preacher is really going to bring
us down. And he did. He did many of them.
And he figured out that the advertisers was where the
vulnerability was because at the time, in the late seventies,
there was, of course the where you had the sexual Revolution,
and things were trending in the wrong direction culturally to
a degree depending on what you were looking at specifically,
but companies still actually had some sort of attention to decency, right,
They cared what the consumer thought, and they didn't want
to be viewed as being vulgar or explicit or pornographic
with some of their stuff and what they're sponsoring. So
companies responded to one hundred two hundred letters from customers
that were upset about their advertising dollars. So he figured
out that if you target advertisers, you can make a
huge impact on the types of shows that are being sponsored.
Speaker 1: And as the grandson. I mean, you grew up in Mississippi,
and it's different here than I grew up in the
West Coast, and I grew up in a conservative portion
of the West coast. Spokane is different than Seattle. Member
people who did later picked up on what your grandpa
did being jokes and oh, these southern rednecks, forgive the phrase.
I'm seventy nine point seven percent red neck myself, so
I get to say it. How did it feel as
a young man that the network, TV bosses and newspapers
were trying to make Grandpa joke?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know I didn't, for whatever reason, for
better or worse. I was kind of insulated to the
whole culture war concept until I got into my teen
in high school years, because you know, it was just
Don Wildman was my grandfather, and it was just normal,
right for him to be engaged in the culture war,
running the ministry on the front page news.
Speaker 1: That was kind of normal.
Speaker 3: But as I grew up, I began to really grasp
what was going on in our country and how my
grandfather was really being targeted for his approach to the
issues of our day. And I'll tell you what you
can't operate around here, and you can't really operate in
this cultural environment that we're in America without a bit
of a thick skin. And I learned quickly not to
really care what other people think about you, unless it's
your loved ones, your family, and your friends that are
using things through a biblical lands, that are analyzing things
through a biblical lands. Because what the pagans think about
us really shouldn't bother us, right. A lot of Christians
are too concerned about what the world thinks and they
want to be perceived well in the world. That's really
a backwards way of looking at it. I want to
know what does God's word say about how I'm living
and how I'm conducting myself, and that's really all that matters.
And so that's really a challenge for people who think
conservatively and think biblically. We shouldn't care what the enemies
of God think about us.
Speaker 1: And I'd love that you see pagans, and I know
that you're not saying that lightly. There are pagan lands, yeah,
And if you've not been to a pagan land, I'll
give you an example that there is a where I
live across the border and Spokane, which is largely conservative.
A bar downtown and the bar is hell. I mean,
it's not kind of hell. It says out front, welcome
to Hell, and the drinks in there are named after demons.
It says upfront, you know, to blank with your liver.
And it is a place where they encourage excess, where
the more perversity you show going in, the further up
in line you get to enter. So that's paganism on display.
And I talk to young people that say, oh, it's joking. No,
they're just being ironic. It's just a fun place to go,
And I go, no, no, no, Do you think the
devil cares that you think it's a joke?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: What he cares about is you're celebrating this stuff from
your position in Tuplum, Mississippi. And obviously you're aware of
the culture given what you do. What does that sound
like to you in terms of kids driving by and
seeing that. Is that just some bizarre to you?
Speaker 3: Well, it's unfortunate that that's even acceptable, right, Right, there's
not a large outcry that that type of darkness is
being promoted and really mocked. And yeah, I use the
word pagan actually use it on my daily show. Pretty often,
and some people may think I'm using it as a
kind of an inflammatory term, but when you look at
human history, every human culture is going to worship something right,
there's no this this whole talk about neutrality, and we
could get into neutrality and how companies could remain neutral
and focus on their primary business purposes, which is what
my grandfather talked about, But when it comes to our affections,
there is no neutrality. We are going to draw ourselves
to something someone, And so when cultures abandon the God
of the Bible and the Creator, they end up worshiping
something else. And that's how you get pagan cultures. Whether
it's alcohol, pornography, sex, abortion, every culture that really displaces
God ends up worshiping something go, So that term pagan
is actually very accurate throughout human history of cultures that
abandon God.
Speaker 1: And you know, Satan is an expert at casting himself
as a creature of light, right, and he pretends to
be this light filled being. People end up worshiping their kids.
Now this sounds really strange, which you think about you know,
child sports society, Well, yeah we'd like to go to church,
but man, our kids they're on a traveling team now
and anything that is removing you from God or separating
you from God. You're spending more time and that can
become worship. People worry about this with we with CrossFit,
Like you spend so much time on fitness. Are you
sure that's not separating you from God. Hey, there's a
lot of things that might separate me from God. It
wouldn't be that for me to be politics, it'd be
concerned about the world. What do you do personally to
make sure that your work? You're in ministry, but how
do you make sure that work doesn't become a thing
you worship versus ministry for God? Because that's I hear
a lot of pastors say, that's that's the difficult thing.
Is all of a sudden you don't even enjoy praying
anymore because it's, oh my gosh, it's just another prayer. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, I think we have to ask ourselves two things.
Why do we do what we do? And where do
we get our satisfaction from? Those are the two primary
questions that we have to ask ourselves. And whether it's
running a ministry, running a business, or even shepherding your home,
why do we do what we do? And what is
our motivation, and if it's not, if it's anything outside
of being a good steward for God's kingdom purposes, then
you often lose track, right. So, and we have to
find peace when we're not in our element, so to speak. Right, So,
when we're not in what we love to do, what
we have passion for, whether it's business, nonprofit, parenting, et cetera.
We have to be able to have peace outside of
our quote unquote comfort zone. And so that's what I
tend to stay focused on, is doing everything that I'm
doing to be a good steward and whether it's CrossFit. Look,
there's a lot of things that we can do with
enjoyment that God gifted us with and it can all
be centered towards Him and his purposes without us losing
focus on the big picture. But you do have to
be very careful because every culture can tend to idolize something,
and idolizing children is a thing and God here's a thing.
And it's true with every culture, good things can turn
to bad things right without the proper perspective. So children
are a blessing from the Lord. Genesis says, be fruitful
and multiply. But if you're not careful, and you don't
keep Christ first in a biblical worldview and your role
as a parent and a disciple and a razor of
children in focus, and before you know it, you're just
doing everything you can to make your kids happy. So
the question is why do we do what we do
and what gives us fulfillment and purpose? And we just
have to keep the main thing the main thing.
Speaker 1: I love it. And there's a movie coming out, a
Cultural Warrior about your grandpa, and that's going to be
seen around the country and you can go to sit
Cultural Warrior movie. Yeah, Cultural Warrior dot movie. Get tickets
for that. And I would just say this as a
guy who fell victim to idolizing my little girls athletic
promise that was Satan hiding as an angel of light.
And I would just offer you guys this thought as well.
If you find yourself hiding portions of the Bible from
your kids, this is a big one. Let's not talk
about the messy social issues. Let's make sure that our
kids like they like God. Let's make God hip. Maybe
maybe you're worshiping the world. Story number two with Walker Wildman.
Walker's with me, He's with the American Family. Radio and
American Family Radio is eight what one hundred and eighty
radio stations. I should know this since I'm gifted to
have a program there. It is books, it's films. There's
a film coming out about your grandpa Don Wildman called
Culture Where is one of the original culture wars. I
wanted to show you a video that Caitlin Clark. She's
in an interview and she's speaking to children. I want
you to see this in a second. But first of
if you watched this response to Caitlin Clark and the WNBA,
and she got eighty percent of fowls of egregious fowls,
she broke some nine hundred records. You've watched this phenomenon?
What have you made of this? The WNBA and her
response there?
Speaker 3: So what is the WNBA without Caitlin Clark?
Speaker 1: Right, it's twenty percent of what it is?
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's made the WMA NBA what it is today.
I mean, who used to watch that? Now it's very popular.
So yeah, I've kind of kept an eye on this.
Speaker 1: So I've watched her be assaulted effectively yes on the
court right and hunted down and assaulted. Meanwhile, she's setting
all of these records, and I don't know if you
remember this. Do you remember when the WNBA started? Did
you tracked that when it started?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: So we got free tickets to the first WNBA game
in Seattle or one of the first. I don't know
what was the first, but I knew a woman at
Microsoft who was one of the owners of the team.
So wow, oh my gosh, thank you for this. You know,
my little girls an athlete. And so we got the
tickets and said to my little girl, he invite some
of the girls from skating. I go in and look
at the website to see where our seats are. That
night was about planned parentoed. Everyone was to come in
wearing pink to support planned PARENTOED. And my heart broke
and I went to my little girl and said, here's
what they're doing. She goes, oh, we can't go to that.
I mean, would they why would they do that? Why
would they talk about killing babies there. I think there's
a genesis of the WNBA where it was almost born
as a grievance league, or let's say it this way,
as a coveting league. Does that seem overblown to you?
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't. And when you look at the WNBA.
It's truly not able to operate as a standalone entity.
It's often subsidized by the NBA. Right, So, I don't
know what the purpose of the WNBA was as far
as their motive. Was it this like equity thing, where
if we've got a male thing, we have to have
a female thing. I don't know, but it's good. I
think it's entertaining. Katelin Clark has made it popular. But yeah,
I don't know much about the history of the WNBA,
but I know in and of itself, the business model
really doesn't function. They have to have the NBA as
a subsidy.
Speaker 1: They do. And then Kaitlin Clark's come along and the
games that she's in are and you made this point
five six times as much viewed. Oh yeah, as a
game she's not in. So I wanted you to see
this video in a second of Kaitlin Clark sort of
giving advice to kids, and she got a cool message
from her third grade teacher. So we'll get to that.
Corruption follows money. The love of money is the root
of all evil. The love of money. Now, my friend
Zach Abraham, the chief investment officer Bori Capital Management, he
doesn't love money. He stewards it. What he loves is
managing risk for people. What he loves is seeing people
enter into retirement with a successful plan. And Zach has
a unique way of describing what a successful retirement means.
It's not what some other people would do. Other people
will show you pictures of beach vacations and two million
dollar RVs, multiple homes, and maybe that's what you want.
What is it what you could afford? Zach engages in
risk management by actively managing every single portfolio, which can
reduce risk and volatility. And he will look at your accounts.
He'll look at your equity and your home, your investment accounts,
any sort of outstanding debts you have, and he will
tell you how exposed you are to risk and how
near you are to successful retirement. And here's how Zach
defines success in retirement, knowing exactly how much money you
will have every month for the rest of your life.
And he'll look at these portfolios for free, no obligation.
Just call him at eight sixty six seven to seventy
nine Risk. That's eight sixty six seven seven nine risk,
or go to Know your Risk radio dot com and
he'll make that happen for you well work Capital Managements
and Investment Advisor representative of Truck Financial LLC and sec
Register Investment Advisor. Investments involve risk and are not guaranteed.
Past performance isn't current future results. Truck twenty four Dash
three seven eight Walker. Here is Caitlyn Clark a message
to kids about achieving their dreams. So let's watch this.
We have a special message for you. Oh gosh, take
a look. That's scary.
Speaker 4: Huh Hi, Caitlyn, It's Kathleen Dre, your old third grade teacher.
Just wanted to let you know how proud of you
we are all at Saint Francis. Seems like just yesterday
you were in my class. We are all cheering love
for you. My current students and I are now the
biggest Fever fans the weaver.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's so cute. That was my third
grade teacher.
Speaker 5: She's gonna do with me in third grade, and I
was so competitive, So I'm sorry to her.
Speaker 3: I'm a bad but the.
Speaker 5: Fever is framelant, She says, she and her class and
all the kids at your school, And how about all
the kids out there?
Speaker 1: What kind of message do you want to send to them.
But what would you like to say to them about
achieving their dream? Because this has been your dream as
long as you can remember.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the biggest thing is like just dream big.
And you know, obviously I went to the University of Iowa.
I'm from Iowa. Like I kind of just bet on
myself and I always believed in myself, and I think
that's the biggest thing. From a young age, Like my
parents always instilled confidence in me. You know, they never
told me I couldn't achieve something. But also like I
worked really hard for it, and I think that's what
I'm really proud of, is like I earned it. I
deserved it, and nothing was ever like given to me.
And yeah, more than anything, just believe in myself. And
that's what I'm gonna try to take to the next level.
Speaker 6: You know, you said you had this dream since second grade.
Where what was the initial spark?
Speaker 1: Where did it first come from?
Speaker 5: Well, I grew up with an older brother and a
younger brother, and I always wanted to be like my
older brother, Like whenever he was playing sports, I would
always tag around. I would cry all the time. Like
my mom did not like it, Like I just wanted
to be like him. And then my dad played college
sports too, so and he was my first ever basketball coach.
So I would say, like all that.
Speaker 1: So at the beginning of that, her response, Okay, me too, brother,
me too. I'll let you go first, because you've got
to be the first to say it.
Speaker 3: Walker Rob This is the antithesis of wokeness, right, because
there was nothing about you know, we need more government
to help people get to this level, or you know
I didn't make it here because you know there was
a white person who jumped in front of me, or
whatever type of guiltness wokeness that's the type of narrative today.
But that was all centered on hard work, good parents,
and work ethic and that's the motto that we need today,
right because everybody wants to blame their circumstances on everyone else.
But she took ownership and she's excelling tremendously.
Speaker 1: She is, and that's all positive. And here's what kind
of broke my heart a little bit is I didn't
hear her say, hey, I just you know, God gifted
me with height, no, none of that. He gifted me
with a love for this. He gifted me with fast
twitch muscle fibers, and look, you can you can create
more fast twitch muscle fibers by working and being diligent,
and you can have neurological adaptations where even if you
have solwer Twisch, I mean, you can get there. So
I love what she said. I love what you said.
But this is to me such a part of modern
society that I kind of see God up there going
oh uh wow, I think, wait, did you make yourself
all these things? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: And I don't mean to bag on her because that's
a very small clip. And for what I know, she
goes around speaking the Lord's name othough I've never seen
her do that. Is that a part of what America
misses that we can see something like that, she's so accomplished,
but that the rest of the world, or at least
of the rest of America, it's not weird to them
that people don't thank God for that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's but it's it's part of a society
that really doesn't have a proper view of creation and
a proper view of where we all get our gifts
and abilities from. And when you look at how we're created.
To your point, Todd, it's clear that we have a creator, right.
I was dripping on the car the other day and
I was thinking to myself. I was looking at this
beautiful sunrise, and I'm thinking, how does an unbeliever look
at the world and go, yeah, this is just an accident.
You know, this is part of the Big Bang theory.
You just can't do that with any semblance of integrity
and logic and reason. Clearly, we all have a created
order here and it's all by God. So yeah, that's
the unfortunate thing that you do get by a lot
of these pop stars and these sports athletes, is they
they Now, there's exceptions to the rule, right, there's Patrick
Mahome Mahomes, there's others Mahons that that give credit to
God for their abilities, and that's the first thing they
say at press conferences. But then there are the others
like you just played there, and and the the self
help kind of UH coaching, And this is very prevalent
in high schools around the around the country and in
elementary schools where you bring in this kind of inspirational
speaker and it's all about you can do better, believe
in yourself. And there's a place for that, right, especially
with a lot of young people that have anxiety don't
have any self esteem, right, they need some of that.
But at the end of the day, we shouldn't have
any doubt in our mind where we get our abilities from,
and that is God, our.
Speaker 1: Creator, absolutely, And that's beautifully, beautifully well said. And I
would just I would maybe closes out this way when
you think about what Walker brought up that look, none
of this can be happenstantial. I love when we accidentally
see atheist organizations admit that. I love it. And this
recently happens with NASA and they were scanning the universe
and they came across a shape that was perfectly round,
and they came along and said, well, perfect roundness doesn't
happen accidentally. Oh really, thanks for admitting that.
Speaker 3: That's good.
Speaker 1: Story number three, So sixty minutes went in memory. Hold
this absolute babbling that Kamala Harris issued forth on Israel
and Walker Wildman's with me. He is the grandson of
the great Don Wildman, who started American Family Radio, American
Family Association one hundred and eighty radio stations, publications, documentaries, films,
and Walker is a program there, as father's a program there.
I have a program there, and Walker, I wanted to
get you and to respond to this and think about
I find it difficult to just admit it, to to
not hate Kamala Harris. Yeah, and we're called to not
do that. And I will look you in the eyes
of brother in Christ and tell you I've never prayed
for her. Yeah, and I know we're called to do that.
Will you look me in the eye and tell me
you love Kaila Harris.
Speaker 3: Well, I can't do that, Todd, with honesty, and I
can't with honestly look in look in your eyes and
tell you that I prayed for her specifically. Now I
pray for our leaders right broadly, but not her by name.
And there it is a hard balance, Todd, to love
people because people are all created in the image of God.
Not all people are children of God, which is a
common misconception, right right. The only people that are children
of God are those who believe in Him and believe in.
Speaker 1: Jesus for salvation.
Speaker 3: But everyone, even unbelievers, are all created in His image
right and under His authority, and so Kamala Harris is
no different. So there's this fine balance as believers because
we don't like what she is promoting, and it's really
an ideological and a heart thing. And what she's promoting,
whether it be abortion, homosexuality, transgenderism, or just a complete
loss of sovereignty as a nation through illegal immigration, it's
very evil and wicked things. So we have to strike
that balance between being against what she is for, which
are very evil things, but also not forgetting that she's
a human too, and she needs her soul saved and
rescued by Jesus.
Speaker 1: And that's our job. That's our job. I use imagery
to remind myself of this. I'll share this with you
in a second. We'll go through what's sixty has decided
to do to try to rescue this, because the clip
of her issuing forth this babble went absolutely viral and
it's corrupt. What SEBIS does? They do this from time
to time. Sixty minutes, I forget the producer's name, exec producer.
He admitted during the Clinton administration. Of course you're trying
to get Bill Clinton elected. There's a belief that Mike
Lindell simply created my pillow and it bloomed up, and
he got on TV and he made those funky ads,
and he made those ads. It's him doing the pillows
and they're kind of cringe, and it was a cringe
that sold the pillows. That's not true. I mean there
are cringe I mean, he could afford a better logo,
So why doesn't he get one because his daughter made
that one when he was a drug addict or a
guy recently out of drug addiction, alcohol addiction, gambling addiction.
He'd been sleeping on people's couches in the small town
where my pillow is still located, and he had trouble
sleeping given what he's done to his life and how
to end up. I know this because they interviewed Mike
about this before he became a political personality. That's when
the second change happens. Mike went around the county fairs
all around the country selling the pillows, being there personally
twelve hours a day, five days a week, fair after
fair after fair. Finally he sold enough of these pillows
that he didn't afford to buy some TV ads and
then some infomercials, and then the big success came. Now
that he has come out in stat's opinion on election integrity,
things like this happen. Major retailers just, oh, you know what,
we're going to cancel that order. And since we know
that the people who run Joe Biden used banking et
cetera to help control Americans, why wouldn't they put a
note into big retailers saying, hey, can you cancel this guy?
He's making problems for us. So Michael Wndll reached out
to us. We haven't worked with him for a number
of years, not out of any sense of negativity love Mike,
just because we haven't. So we created this a way
to help Mike sell these pillows at the lowest price
that's ever been offered. For the standard my Pillow, go
to my pillow dot com slash todd, use promo code Todd,
and you will get the standard my Pillow at the
lowest price it's ever been offered at fourteen eighty eight.

this sixty minutes gift that they are trying to give
Kamala Harris. Although they're getting caught at this let's watch.
Speaker 6: But it seems that Prime Minister net and Yah who
is not listening.
Speaker 7: Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted
in a number of movements in that region by Israel
that were very much prompted by or a result of
many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen
in the region.
Speaker 6: But it seems that Prime Minister net and Yah who
is not listening.
Speaker 7: We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary
for the United States to be clear about where we
stand on the need for this war to end.
Speaker 1: Looking at that side by side, you are an executive
and a host at a huge media network. Yeah, if
someone in your team did that and it went out
an afar, what happens.
Speaker 3: It's selective editing, it's it's termination worthy. And that's what's
happening here. And this is not a campaign app put
out by Kamala Harris. This is supposed to be news.
This is propaganda. And one thing Todd that needs to
be explored legally is what is an in con contribution
to a campaign good degree more and our networks selectively
colluding with campaigns to make candidates look good with the public.
And if they're in that, if they're doing that with intentionality,
that is an in con campaign contribution. Campaign contributions, folks,
are not just cash contributions. There's such thing as in
con contributions. Look it up. That really needs to be
explored in our nation because that's one of the only
legal remedies to getting these major networks to stop colluding
with the Democrat Party.
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more. And we all watched the so
called Twitter files and the Facebook files. I remember when
Barack Obama floated the idea of putting FCC observers in newsrooms,
just in government deservers, just to make sure that the
news was applied equally. Do we arganlessly believe as people
in this business, that the same forces that were going
to Facebook et cetera, Twitter weren't also going to NBC
and the other networks CBS and saying we need you
to change this story. Yeah, well we saw.
Speaker 3: I played the clip deal down my show of Hillary
Clinton saying that basically, we've got to have the tech
companies step up to the play with this election cycle
and sensor and d platform conservatives. She said, that's the
only way we're going to win is if you censor
you and me and everyone else who shares the truth
on social media. So I think there's two paths forward here.
There's the legal path of exploring the incon contributions case
law that's out there and maybe creating some new precedent
in the courts. But also we're gonna have to really
defund these major media conglomerates. CNN. Now they're putting up paywalls.
You can't read a CNN article without a paywall. Now
why because less people are watching their networks, less people
are reading their articles, so they're having to bring in
money somehow because the ad moneys aren't doing it. So
that we're just gonna have to create alternative media. And
that's what we do through your podcast, through various shows,
or American Family Radio, and create an entire ecosystem of
alternative media to really end up bankrupting the left wing media.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, bankrupting them and then maybe one day they
might get a little introspective. Yeah, maybe one day they
might remember what it is to be journalist. Because I
got to give Bill Whittaker credit. I mean Bill Whittaker,
and he's been a sixty minute correspondent for a long time.
He knows the risk he played in asking questions like
this of Kamala Harris. Let's watch him question her about
who exactly is hurting democracy? This is video clip number four.
Speaker 6: Was democracy best served by President Biden stepping down and
basically handing you a nomination. You didn't have to go
through a primary process, you didn't have to fight off
other contenders. That's not really the way our system was
intended to work.
Speaker 7: President Biden made a decision that I think history is
going to show is rare among leaders, which was to
put country before self. And I am proud to have
earned the support of the vast majority of delegates and
to have been elected the Democratic nominee. I am proud
to have received the endorsement of leaders around this country
from every background and walk of life to fight in
this election over the next month for our democracy.
Speaker 6: But I think this truncated process is why people think
or see they don't really know who you are.
Speaker 7: Look, I've been in this race for seventy days.
Speaker 3: What an admission?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: The point I heard she grew up middle class? Did
you hear that?
Speaker 3: And she worked at McDonald's though even though corporate doesn't
even have her name in.
Speaker 1: This record, that no record of that. Do you give
Whittaker credit for that? For that? I mean bold? Right?
That was bold?
Speaker 3: And you know the campaign didn't agree to that going in.
There's no way, right, there's no way.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: They what they did is they said, if you're going
to do that after the fact, then we're going to
edit the clips and make it to the final production,
which is why you have two variations there. But yeah,
she was not ready for that. It was clear.
Speaker 1: If you've ever been interviewing someone who is Avisara to
you and they think they're locked and loaded for the
interview and you ask them a question, have you ever
seen someone just literally blue screen just just can't lock up?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Do you remember any instance, because I got to
share one with you because it's so funny.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't interview many hostile people. Yeah, we take
occasional hostile calls. Sure, Yeah, what's what's your story?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: So there was a guy this was this is really
cool when I worked in radio and Spokane back before
I did tech and all that, and this guy wrote
a he created a cartoon of me, and it got
into this spokes and review. It was like a letter
to the editor and this spokes review the newspaper. They're
hated my guts and they published this cartoon and it
was me shooting out the phrase well regulated militia from
the Second Amendment. So I apparently didn't understand about regular
militia or was trying to erase that. So back in
the days of phone books, I looked this guy up,
called him, said, hey, this is this is Todd Herman.
Oh my gosh, are you mad at me? No? No, no,
this is great. Congratulations and getting it published. I'd like
to invite you on my radio program. Really, yes, so
talk about what guns? Yeah, Second Amendment?
Speaker 3: Let's talk this out.
Speaker 1: Okay, you're on, Okay, good. Can I ask you a favor? Please? Research?
Please come in. I do this every day, Yeah, every
single day. I know this these topics very very well.
I know all the numbers. Will you please come in
well researched. I want this to be a good conversation. Absolutely,
And by the way, I'm getting a big copy of
this made and I want to put it on my wall.
I want to frame it. Would you consider signing it
for me? Oh my gosh. Absolutely, both in the opinion business.
So the guy comes in and he sits down and
I'm talking about the cartoon his background. I said, so,
why why do you hate guns so much? He goes, well,
because so many people are murdered by them. I go, really,
how many silence? Well, thirty million a year? No, three million, No,
gotta be a million zero zero, And I got the number,
if you remove suicides, is about it's about thirty thousand, right,
and honestly good this. He began turning white, lips got
a little purple, and then he ran out of the studio,
ran downstairs, true story, true story, vomited.
Speaker 3: So he wasn't ready for Proud Times.
Speaker 1: I'm like, is he coming back? And my producer, Scott,
he said, I don't think so, because he just emptied breakfast.
Speaker 3: But his entire setup right of blaming inanimate objects as
if guns, like right, ran on the street, right, so right.
Speaker 1: I once showed a lady and this was my podcastin's
heard this before, but you haven't, so I abuse you
with it. We lived in Seattle, as you know, and
across the street there was his family that moved in
and our kids kind of got together a few times.
So we had him over the house and the lady
came downstairs. She said to me, well, she's sitting and
she's in the farm. She goes, I understand that you
have uh guns? Yes, yes I do. Are they are
they locked up? Yes? There, they're locked up so kids
can't get them. Would you like to see them? Yes?
So I took her downstairs and there's my gun safe
and from this great company, Northwest safe. And so I
opened the safe and she jumped back and I said,
they're not snakes. They're not going to invite you. And
she she looks at the guns and there's there may
have been three or four r setups and some other
things in there are a lot of pistols, a lot
of ammo. So she goes, you must really like hunting.
I go, yeah, it's it's all hunting. That's why I've
got all the red dot scopes and stuff, because that's
why mac right, so that it is hunting. And so
she I locked it up because do you feel about
She goes, I do. I'm glad those are secured. She
invited us over to her home. She was a farmer
rap and so we're sitting, we're sending the kitchen and
the husband's making us espresso and the kids are playing,
and I said to her, I go, hey, Kim, I
know that you're a farmer, rap and probably have sample drugs.
Are those in the house? Oh yes, but they're in
my office. Is the office door locked? Oh? Oh no,
so the kids can get out those? Oh my gosh,
Well let me show you. There's samples all over. Does
the door lock? No?
Speaker 3: There you go, right, and she had been tuitioned close dangerous,
the most dangerous thing of society.
Speaker 1: I'll keep an eye on it's and the way, the
story and what I loved. As I walk back into
the kitchen, her husband goes, well done right, so perfect.
We started this conversation talking about neither of us specifically
prayed for Kamala and both of us. Should I have
a trick I use to not hate people like this?
You kind of mentioned it. I picture them in chains.
If you and I were walking through two below and
we came upon a woman chained to a tree, you
and I would stop and we would probably call the police.
We would definitely go talk to her. What happened. I've
been chained to the tree. No one will let me out.
We would do what we could to get a release
from the tree. We'd call the police, right, we'd feed her,
we'd give her water. You or I would probably take
the shirts off our backs and warmer, does it work
for you to take people like Kamala and she's not
chained to a tree, she's chained in hell. I think
we should you that more often.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, we'll do that.
