But then they went 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,800 and did this thing where they erased Kamala's words and 6 00:00:16,839 --> 00:00:19,480 then made it seem like she made sense. We'll talk 7 00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:22,039 about this all with the help of our YouTube channel 8 00:00:22,039 --> 00:00:25,120 YouTube dot com slash at the Todd Herman Show and 9 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:26,320 with God Almighty. 10 00:00:28,559 --> 00:00:32,439 Speaker 2: The Todd Herman Show is one percent disapproomed by big 11 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:40,280 pharma technocrats and Tyrone Sebrywhere from the high mountains of 12 00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:48,200 Free America.

But yeah, this is the 25 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,200 Lord's work, this is his ministry to Steward, my grandfather 26 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:38,840 started it, and I'm just glad to be a part 27 00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:39,079 of it. 28 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,159 Speaker 1: I wanted to compliment you on your office being small, 29 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,560 your dad's office being small. I've seen it on video. 30 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,280 I've been in a lot of offices, media offices in 31 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,959 New York Times, Associated Press, NPR, multiple times, NBC, black 32 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,560 you know, Black Rock. The lobby is gorgeous. It honors 33 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,680 Jesus Christ. I love that. But I love the fact 34 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,879 that here are well done, beautifully done. But none of 35 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,319 this is the fancier Herman Miller couches and all that. 36 00:02:06,439 --> 00:02:07,079 So thanks for that. 37 00:02:07,319 --> 00:02:07,519 Speaker 2: Yeah. 38 00:02:07,519 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: Absolutely. 39 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 3: We went through the building planning process when we built 40 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,319 this Don Wildman Center for Cultural Transformation, and the architects 41 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,080 were kind of going through the formulas and they were 42 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,719 talking about, yeah, the executives, they usually get bigger offices, 43 00:02:18,759 --> 00:02:21,280 which makes sense. But then we started looking at the 44 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:22,919 square footage, and we were like, you know, we only 45 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,840 need like one hundred and fifty square foot a person, 46 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,080 even for executives. So we went with what's practical and 47 00:02:28,159 --> 00:02:30,719 it works. It's a nice quality building, but yeah, to 48 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:31,919 your point, it's not elaborate. 49 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm glad to see that as someone who 50 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,919 works for you and then ultimately works for God through 51 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,960 the donors. And you were the grandson of one of 52 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,599 the original cultural warriors before that was even a phrase, 53 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,159 and I want to talk about what that was like 54 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,599 to grow up that way. What's grap is a cultural 55 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,159 warrior and his name was Don Wildman. He's gone home 56 00:02:52,159 --> 00:02:53,800 with the Lord, So we'll talk about that in a second. 57 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,599 There are people who have special needs kids and this 58 00:02:58,759 --> 00:03:02,680 happens that they have to adjust their expectation for their kids. 59 00:03:02,759 --> 00:03:05,599 And this is really hard for parents. Parents say, well, 60 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,400 my kid's going to be he's going to go to 61 00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:09,560 my college and he's going to pursue my profession. And 62 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,520 when they find out the kids have are non neurotypical, 63 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,000 a lot of times for parents that can be oh 64 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,960 my gosh. And it's a difficult thing to adjust expectations. 65 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,360 Doesn't mean that you stop loving you stop pushing, stop believing. 66 00:03:21,879 --> 00:03:24,400 For parents of kids have special needs, for them to 67 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:29,719 understand that Alan has it really tough. He's effectively nonverbal. 68 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,719 He has at eighteen operations. He's only fourteen years old. 69 00:03:34,039 --> 00:03:37,520 But he works. He invents soap. He works at the 70 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,039 company in quality control. His brother Ian is impacted by autism. 71 00:03:41,159 --> 00:03:46,439 He works. He contributes Amy who got late on set autism. 72 00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:49,919 She's thriving, helping with social media, et cetera. She was 73 00:03:49,919 --> 00:03:54,439 told she's hirable and the soap is of pristine quality. 74 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,560 There's no way John would put his son's name on 75 00:03:57,639 --> 00:04:00,599 a soap that sucked. So they researched a family. They 76 00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:04,159 found them in the Midwest. They are three generations into 77 00:04:04,199 --> 00:04:07,960 the soap crafting world. That's what that's all they do. 78 00:04:08,639 --> 00:04:10,719 They took on the fragrances that Alan thought of, that 79 00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:13,719 came from special memories for him. They create those soaps. 80 00:04:13,719 --> 00:04:16,600 They are all natural, they're made in America. To give 81 00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:19,360 this to families with kids with special needs, partic of 82 00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:21,800 the younger kids, it's a side of hope. And every 83 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,360 time they washed their bodies they can remember that. Yep, 84 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,240 our kids too can work. Our kids can contribute what 85 00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:29,120 the word saying is not true. So go to Alan 86 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,600 soaps dot com slash todd. That's Alan Soaps dot com 87 00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:39,560 slash todd. So you growing up, Grandpa's job is culture warrior. 88 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:44,040 He's on TV. And do you remember the first thing 89 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,240 in culture that he kind of on what she sort 90 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,600 of declared war in the name of God. Well, that 91 00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:50,040 would have been network television. 92 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 3: Back in the you know, in the mid to late seventies, 93 00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:55,800 there weren't one hundred channels, right, there were five or six, 94 00:04:55,879 --> 00:04:58,600 three or four depending on which region of the country 95 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,160 you lived in. So yeah, he went to war against 96 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,800 network television, and there weren't a lot of options out there. 97 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,480 So if there was sex, violence, and nudity on television, 98 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:09,560 that was pretty much it. 99 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: You were stuck with it. 100 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,079 Speaker 3: So network television was his first battle, and he got 101 00:05:15,079 --> 00:05:18,519 a lot of publicity. All the major papers covered it, 102 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,720 and how did they cover them? It was very cynical 103 00:05:22,759 --> 00:05:28,199 and negative because he was this Mississippi Methodist preacher who 104 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,399 had a little bit of a Mississippi slang to it, 105 00:05:31,079 --> 00:05:34,800 which we're still carrying strongly today with our Southern accent. 106 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,639 But yeah, he was kind of the joke of the country. 107 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,399 And these network television executives were on their high horse. 108 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,920 You know, they were thinking, you know, we're bringing in 109 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000 millions of dollars through these advertisers and through these shows, 110 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,120 and television is the new thing, right, every family watches 111 00:05:50,199 --> 00:05:53,439 television in the evening at the time, and they thought 112 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,279 to themselves, this Mississippi preacher is really going to bring 113 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,720 us down. And he did. He did many of them. 114 00:06:00,439 --> 00:06:04,720 And he figured out that the advertisers was where the 115 00:06:04,759 --> 00:06:08,639 vulnerability was because at the time, in the late seventies, 116 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,759 there was, of course the where you had the sexual Revolution, 117 00:06:12,959 --> 00:06:16,160 and things were trending in the wrong direction culturally to 118 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,519 a degree depending on what you were looking at specifically, 119 00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:25,560 but companies still actually had some sort of attention to decency, right, 120 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,480 They cared what the consumer thought, and they didn't want 121 00:06:28,519 --> 00:06:32,160 to be viewed as being vulgar or explicit or pornographic 122 00:06:32,199 --> 00:06:34,639 with some of their stuff and what they're sponsoring. So 123 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,079 companies responded to one hundred two hundred letters from customers 124 00:06:39,079 --> 00:06:42,199 that were upset about their advertising dollars. So he figured 125 00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:44,279 out that if you target advertisers, you can make a 126 00:06:44,399 --> 00:06:47,639 huge impact on the types of shows that are being sponsored. 127 00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:50,639 Speaker 1: And as the grandson. I mean, you grew up in Mississippi, 128 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,120 and it's different here than I grew up in the 129 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,839 West Coast, and I grew up in a conservative portion 130 00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:00,560 of the West coast. Spokane is different than Seattle. Member 131 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,879 people who did later picked up on what your grandpa 132 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,800 did being jokes and oh, these southern rednecks, forgive the phrase. 133 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,680 I'm seventy nine point seven percent red neck myself, so 134 00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:14,480 I get to say it. How did it feel as 135 00:07:14,519 --> 00:07:19,000 a young man that the network, TV bosses and newspapers 136 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,160 were trying to make Grandpa joke? 137 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know I didn't, for whatever reason, for 138 00:07:24,399 --> 00:07:26,560 better or worse. I was kind of insulated to the 139 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,079 whole culture war concept until I got into my teen 140 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,560 in high school years, because you know, it was just 141 00:07:33,279 --> 00:07:36,120 Don Wildman was my grandfather, and it was just normal, 142 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,480 right for him to be engaged in the culture war, 143 00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:41,040 running the ministry on the front page news. 144 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: That was kind of normal. 145 00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:44,959 Speaker 3: But as I grew up, I began to really grasp 146 00:07:45,959 --> 00:07:48,839 what was going on in our country and how my 147 00:07:48,839 --> 00:07:51,519 grandfather was really being targeted for his approach to the 148 00:07:51,519 --> 00:07:54,879 issues of our day. And I'll tell you what you 149 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,319 can't operate around here, and you can't really operate in 150 00:07:57,319 --> 00:08:00,199 this cultural environment that we're in America without a bit 151 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,319 of a thick skin. And I learned quickly not to 152 00:08:03,399 --> 00:08:06,920 really care what other people think about you, unless it's 153 00:08:06,959 --> 00:08:09,279 your loved ones, your family, and your friends that are 154 00:08:09,399 --> 00:08:12,079 using things through a biblical lands, that are analyzing things 155 00:08:12,079 --> 00:08:16,000 through a biblical lands. Because what the pagans think about 156 00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:19,560 us really shouldn't bother us, right. A lot of Christians 157 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,600 are too concerned about what the world thinks and they 158 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,519 want to be perceived well in the world. That's really 159 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,399 a backwards way of looking at it. I want to 160 00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,360 know what does God's word say about how I'm living 161 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,840 and how I'm conducting myself, and that's really all that matters. 162 00:08:32,879 --> 00:08:35,720 And so that's really a challenge for people who think 163 00:08:35,759 --> 00:08:40,960 conservatively and think biblically. We shouldn't care what the enemies 164 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,080 of God think about us. 165 00:08:42,279 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: And I'd love that you see pagans, and I know 166 00:08:44,279 --> 00:08:47,919 that you're not saying that lightly. There are pagan lands, yeah, 167 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,240 And if you've not been to a pagan land, I'll 168 00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:55,080 give you an example that there is a where I 169 00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:58,879 live across the border and Spokane, which is largely conservative. 170 00:09:00,159 --> 00:09:03,919 A bar downtown and the bar is hell. I mean, 171 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,120 it's not kind of hell. It says out front, welcome 172 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,240 to Hell, and the drinks in there are named after demons. 173 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:18,080 It says upfront, you know, to blank with your liver. 174 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:23,240 And it is a place where they encourage excess, where 175 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,799 the more perversity you show going in, the further up 176 00:09:27,799 --> 00:09:32,360 in line you get to enter. So that's paganism on display. 177 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,759 And I talk to young people that say, oh, it's joking. No, 178 00:09:35,799 --> 00:09:38,080 they're just being ironic. It's just a fun place to go, 179 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,960 And I go, no, no, no, Do you think the 180 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,279 devil cares that you think it's a joke? 181 00:09:44,759 --> 00:09:44,919 Speaker 2: Right? 182 00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: What he cares about is you're celebrating this stuff from 183 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,200 your position in Tuplum, Mississippi. And obviously you're aware of 184 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,559 the culture given what you do. What does that sound 185 00:09:55,639 --> 00:09:57,960 like to you in terms of kids driving by and 186 00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,399 seeing that. Is that just some bizarre to you? 187 00:10:00,039 --> 00:10:03,799 Speaker 3: Well, it's unfortunate that that's even acceptable, right, Right, there's 188 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,080 not a large outcry that that type of darkness is 189 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,679 being promoted and really mocked. And yeah, I use the 190 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,360 word pagan actually use it on my daily show. Pretty often, 191 00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:15,200 and some people may think I'm using it as a 192 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,879 kind of an inflammatory term, but when you look at 193 00:10:17,919 --> 00:10:22,399 human history, every human culture is going to worship something right, 194 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,679 there's no this this whole talk about neutrality, and we 195 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,679 could get into neutrality and how companies could remain neutral 196 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,080 and focus on their primary business purposes, which is what 197 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,519 my grandfather talked about, But when it comes to our affections, 198 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,000 there is no neutrality. We are going to draw ourselves 199 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:45,919 to something someone, And so when cultures abandon the God 200 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,240 of the Bible and the Creator, they end up worshiping 201 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,159 something else. And that's how you get pagan cultures. Whether 202 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:58,799 it's alcohol, pornography, sex, abortion, every culture that really displaces 203 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,679 God ends up worshiping something go, So that term pagan 204 00:11:01,799 --> 00:11:05,159 is actually very accurate throughout human history of cultures that 205 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:05,879 abandon God. 206 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,039 Speaker 1: And you know, Satan is an expert at casting himself 207 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,519 as a creature of light, right, and he pretends to 208 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,080 be this light filled being. People end up worshiping their kids. 209 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,120 Now this sounds really strange, which you think about you know, 210 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,720 child sports society, Well, yeah we'd like to go to church, 211 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,399 but man, our kids they're on a traveling team now 212 00:11:28,919 --> 00:11:31,799 and anything that is removing you from God or separating 213 00:11:31,799 --> 00:11:33,480 you from God. You're spending more time and that can 214 00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:36,639 become worship. People worry about this with we with CrossFit, 215 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,240 Like you spend so much time on fitness. Are you 216 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,960 sure that's not separating you from God. Hey, there's a 217 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,759 lot of things that might separate me from God. It 218 00:11:41,799 --> 00:11:44,759 wouldn't be that for me to be politics, it'd be 219 00:11:44,799 --> 00:11:50,879 concerned about the world. What do you do personally to 220 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,480 make sure that your work? You're in ministry, but how 221 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:01,279 do you make sure that work doesn't become a thing 222 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:06,120 you worship versus ministry for God? Because that's I hear 223 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,279 a lot of pastors say, that's that's the difficult thing. 224 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,919 Is all of a sudden you don't even enjoy praying 225 00:12:11,919 --> 00:12:14,600 anymore because it's, oh my gosh, it's just another prayer. Yeah. 226 00:12:14,879 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 3: Well, I think we have to ask ourselves two things. 227 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,240 Why do we do what we do? And where do 228 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,919 we get our satisfaction from? Those are the two primary 229 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,279 questions that we have to ask ourselves. And whether it's 230 00:12:25,799 --> 00:12:29,840 running a ministry, running a business, or even shepherding your home, 231 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,480 why do we do what we do? And what is 232 00:12:32,519 --> 00:12:36,039 our motivation, and if it's not, if it's anything outside 233 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,960 of being a good steward for God's kingdom purposes, then 234 00:12:39,039 --> 00:12:42,039 you often lose track, right. So, and we have to 235 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,120 find peace when we're not in our element, so to speak. Right, So, 236 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,000 when we're not in what we love to do, what 237 00:12:48,039 --> 00:12:51,960 we have passion for, whether it's business, nonprofit, parenting, et cetera. 238 00:12:52,919 --> 00:12:55,039 We have to be able to have peace outside of 239 00:12:55,039 --> 00:12:58,200 our quote unquote comfort zone. And so that's what I 240 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,879 tend to stay focused on, is doing everything that I'm 241 00:13:01,879 --> 00:13:04,600 doing to be a good steward and whether it's CrossFit. Look, 242 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,840 there's a lot of things that we can do with 243 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,799 enjoyment that God gifted us with and it can all 244 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,440 be centered towards Him and his purposes without us losing 245 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,200 focus on the big picture. But you do have to 246 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,159 be very careful because every culture can tend to idolize something, 247 00:13:20,879 --> 00:13:25,720 and idolizing children is a thing and God here's a thing. 248 00:13:26,519 --> 00:13:30,000 And it's true with every culture, good things can turn 249 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,000 to bad things right without the proper perspective. So children 250 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,000 are a blessing from the Lord. Genesis says, be fruitful 251 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,840 and multiply. But if you're not careful, and you don't 252 00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:43,000 keep Christ first in a biblical worldview and your role 253 00:13:43,039 --> 00:13:45,720 as a parent and a disciple and a razor of 254 00:13:45,799 --> 00:13:48,159 children in focus, and before you know it, you're just 255 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,120 doing everything you can to make your kids happy. So 256 00:13:50,919 --> 00:13:53,200 the question is why do we do what we do 257 00:13:53,879 --> 00:13:56,639 and what gives us fulfillment and purpose? And we just 258 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,360 have to keep the main thing the main thing. 259 00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: I love it. And there's a movie coming out, a 260 00:14:00,519 --> 00:14:03,120 Cultural Warrior about your grandpa, and that's going to be 261 00:14:03,159 --> 00:14:05,320 seen around the country and you can go to sit 262 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,639 Cultural Warrior movie. Yeah, Cultural Warrior dot movie. Get tickets 263 00:14:08,639 --> 00:14:10,240 for that. And I would just say this as a 264 00:14:10,279 --> 00:14:14,480 guy who fell victim to idolizing my little girls athletic 265 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,080 promise that was Satan hiding as an angel of light. 266 00:14:18,759 --> 00:14:20,960 And I would just offer you guys this thought as well. 267 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,480 If you find yourself hiding portions of the Bible from 268 00:14:26,519 --> 00:14:30,240 your kids, this is a big one. Let's not talk 269 00:14:30,279 --> 00:14:33,840 about the messy social issues. Let's make sure that our 270 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:38,840 kids like they like God. Let's make God hip. Maybe 271 00:14:39,159 --> 00:14:45,759 maybe you're worshiping the world. Story number two with Walker Wildman. 272 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,639 Walker's with me, He's with the American Family. Radio and 273 00:14:48,799 --> 00:14:51,159 American Family Radio is eight what one hundred and eighty 274 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,200 radio stations. I should know this since I'm gifted to 275 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,720 have a program there. It is books, it's films. There's 276 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,159 a film coming out about your grandpa Don Wildman called 277 00:15:00,159 --> 00:15:02,240 Culture Where is one of the original culture wars. I 278 00:15:02,279 --> 00:15:07,919 wanted to show you a video that Caitlin Clark. She's 279 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,000 in an interview and she's speaking to children. I want 280 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,559 you to see this in a second. But first of 281 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,200 if you watched this response to Caitlin Clark and the WNBA, 282 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,440 and she got eighty percent of fowls of egregious fowls, 283 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,799 she broke some nine hundred records. You've watched this phenomenon? 284 00:15:22,799 --> 00:15:24,519 What have you made of this? The WNBA and her 285 00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:25,159 response there? 286 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 3: So what is the WNBA without Caitlin Clark? 287 00:15:28,559 --> 00:15:30,879 Speaker 1: Right, it's twenty percent of what it is? 288 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, she's made the WMA NBA what it is today. 289 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,279 I mean, who used to watch that? Now it's very popular. 290 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,720 So yeah, I've kind of kept an eye on this. 291 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,639 Speaker 1: So I've watched her be assaulted effectively yes on the 292 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,559 court right and hunted down and assaulted. Meanwhile, she's setting 293 00:15:45,639 --> 00:15:47,639 all of these records, and I don't know if you 294 00:15:47,679 --> 00:15:49,600 remember this. Do you remember when the WNBA started? Did 295 00:15:49,639 --> 00:15:50,639 you tracked that when it started? 296 00:15:50,679 --> 00:15:50,879 Speaker 2: Now? 297 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: So we got free tickets to the first WNBA game 298 00:15:54,399 --> 00:15:55,799 in Seattle or one of the first. I don't know 299 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,720 what was the first, but I knew a woman at 300 00:15:57,759 --> 00:15:59,639 Microsoft who was one of the owners of the team. 301 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,879 So wow, oh my gosh, thank you for this. You know, 302 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,759 my little girls an athlete. And so we got the 303 00:16:05,799 --> 00:16:08,039 tickets and said to my little girl, he invite some 304 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,559 of the girls from skating. I go in and look 305 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,279 at the website to see where our seats are. That 306 00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:17,519 night was about planned parentoed. Everyone was to come in 307 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,759 wearing pink to support planned PARENTOED. And my heart broke 308 00:16:20,759 --> 00:16:22,159 and I went to my little girl and said, here's 309 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:23,720 what they're doing. She goes, oh, we can't go to that. 310 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,519 I mean, would they why would they do that? Why 311 00:16:26,559 --> 00:16:29,200 would they talk about killing babies there. I think there's 312 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,200 a genesis of the WNBA where it was almost born 313 00:16:32,279 --> 00:16:34,480 as a grievance league, or let's say it this way, 314 00:16:34,519 --> 00:16:37,360 as a coveting league. Does that seem overblown to you? 315 00:16:37,399 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 3: No, it doesn't. And when you look at the WNBA. 316 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,039 It's truly not able to operate as a standalone entity. 317 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,679 It's often subsidized by the NBA. Right, So, I don't 318 00:16:46,679 --> 00:16:49,759 know what the purpose of the WNBA was as far 319 00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:52,639 as their motive. Was it this like equity thing, where 320 00:16:52,679 --> 00:16:54,120 if we've got a male thing, we have to have 321 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,879 a female thing. I don't know, but it's good. I 322 00:16:57,919 --> 00:17:01,919 think it's entertaining. Katelin Clark has made it popular. But yeah, 323 00:17:01,919 --> 00:17:04,559 I don't know much about the history of the WNBA, 324 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,640 but I know in and of itself, the business model 325 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,200 really doesn't function. They have to have the NBA as 326 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:09,720 a subsidy. 327 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,599 Speaker 1: They do. And then Kaitlin Clark's come along and the 328 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,599 games that she's in are and you made this point 329 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,720 five six times as much viewed. Oh yeah, as a 330 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,440 game she's not in. So I wanted you to see 331 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,880 this video in a second of Kaitlin Clark sort of 332 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,960 giving advice to kids, and she got a cool message 333 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,759 from her third grade teacher. So we'll get to that. 334 00:17:29,079 --> 00:17:31,839 Corruption follows money. The love of money is the root 335 00:17:31,839 --> 00:17:34,519 of all evil. The love of money. Now, my friend 336 00:17:34,599 --> 00:17:37,319 Zach Abraham, the chief investment officer Bori Capital Management, he 337 00:17:37,319 --> 00:17:40,759 doesn't love money. He stewards it. What he loves is 338 00:17:40,839 --> 00:17:43,920 managing risk for people. What he loves is seeing people 339 00:17:44,079 --> 00:17:48,200 enter into retirement with a successful plan. And Zach has 340 00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:53,000 a unique way of describing what a successful retirement means. 341 00:17:53,559 --> 00:17:56,160 It's not what some other people would do. Other people 342 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,119 will show you pictures of beach vacations and two million 343 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,720 dollar RVs, multiple homes, and maybe that's what you want. 344 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,920 What is it what you could afford? Zach engages in 345 00:18:07,039 --> 00:18:11,119 risk management by actively managing every single portfolio, which can 346 00:18:11,319 --> 00:18:14,799 reduce risk and volatility.

My current students and I are now the 370 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,319 biggest Fever fans the weaver. 371 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, it's so cute. That was my third 372 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:34,319 grade teacher. 373 00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 5: She's gonna do with me in third grade, and I 374 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,119 was so competitive, So I'm sorry to her. 375 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,559 Speaker 3: I'm a bad but the. 376 00:19:41,559 --> 00:19:44,079 Speaker 5: Fever is framelant, She says, she and her class and 377 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,400 all the kids at your school, And how about all 378 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:47,039 the kids out there? 379 00:19:47,039 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: What kind of message do you want to send to them. 380 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,119 But what would you like to say to them about 381 00:19:51,599 --> 00:19:53,960 achieving their dream? Because this has been your dream as 382 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:54,920 long as you can remember. 383 00:19:55,039 --> 00:19:57,319 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the biggest thing is like just dream big. 384 00:19:57,319 --> 00:19:59,319 And you know, obviously I went to the University of Iowa. 385 00:19:59,319 --> 00:20:00,920 I'm from Iowa. Like I kind of just bet on 386 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,559 myself and I always believed in myself, and I think 387 00:20:03,559 --> 00:20:05,119 that's the biggest thing. From a young age, Like my 388 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,319 parents always instilled confidence in me. You know, they never 389 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,440 told me I couldn't achieve something. But also like I 390 00:20:10,519 --> 00:20:12,720 worked really hard for it, and I think that's what 391 00:20:12,759 --> 00:20:14,200 I'm really proud of, is like I earned it. I 392 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,640 deserved it, and nothing was ever like given to me. 393 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,160 And yeah, more than anything, just believe in myself. And 394 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,640 that's what I'm gonna try to take to the next level. 395 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 6: You know, you said you had this dream since second grade. 396 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,039 Where what was the initial spark? 397 00:20:24,079 --> 00:20:25,279 Speaker 1: Where did it first come from? 398 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:26,799 Speaker 5: Well, I grew up with an older brother and a 399 00:20:26,799 --> 00:20:28,319 younger brother, and I always wanted to be like my 400 00:20:28,319 --> 00:20:30,599 older brother, Like whenever he was playing sports, I would 401 00:20:30,599 --> 00:20:33,000 always tag around. I would cry all the time. Like 402 00:20:33,039 --> 00:20:35,839 my mom did not like it, Like I just wanted 403 00:20:35,839 --> 00:20:37,359 to be like him. And then my dad played college 404 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,400 sports too, so and he was my first ever basketball coach. 405 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:41,519 So I would say, like all that. 406 00:20:42,599 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: So at the beginning of that, her response, Okay, me too, brother, 407 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,799 me too. I'll let you go first, because you've got 408 00:20:51,839 --> 00:20:52,599 to be the first to say it. 409 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,519 Speaker 3: Walker Rob This is the antithesis of wokeness, right, because 410 00:20:56,519 --> 00:20:59,440 there was nothing about you know, we need more government 411 00:20:59,519 --> 00:21:02,799 to help people get to this level, or you know 412 00:21:03,079 --> 00:21:05,559 I didn't make it here because you know there was 413 00:21:05,599 --> 00:21:07,799 a white person who jumped in front of me, or 414 00:21:07,799 --> 00:21:12,160 whatever type of guiltness wokeness that's the type of narrative today. 415 00:21:13,039 --> 00:21:16,319 But that was all centered on hard work, good parents, 416 00:21:16,559 --> 00:21:19,519 and work ethic and that's the motto that we need today, 417 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,480 right because everybody wants to blame their circumstances on everyone else. 418 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,839 But she took ownership and she's excelling tremendously. 419 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,319 Speaker 1: She is, and that's all positive. And here's what kind 420 00:21:31,319 --> 00:21:34,599 of broke my heart a little bit is I didn't 421 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,960 hear her say, hey, I just you know, God gifted 422 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,880 me with height, no, none of that. He gifted me 423 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,279 with a love for this. He gifted me with fast 424 00:21:45,279 --> 00:21:49,680 twitch muscle fibers, and look, you can you can create 425 00:21:49,799 --> 00:21:52,680 more fast twitch muscle fibers by working and being diligent, 426 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,400 and you can have neurological adaptations where even if you 427 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,359 have solwer Twisch, I mean, you can get there. So 428 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,240 I love what she said. I love what you said. 429 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,039 But this is to me such a part of modern 430 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,240 society that I kind of see God up there going 431 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:12,759 oh uh wow, I think, wait, did you make yourself 432 00:22:12,759 --> 00:22:13,839 all these things? Yeah? 433 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 2: Right? 434 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: And I don't mean to bag on her because that's 435 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,519 a very small clip. And for what I know, she 436 00:22:19,559 --> 00:22:21,480 goes around speaking the Lord's name othough I've never seen 437 00:22:21,519 --> 00:22:26,839 her do that. Is that a part of what America 438 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:31,079 misses that we can see something like that, she's so accomplished, 439 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,559 but that the rest of the world, or at least 440 00:22:33,559 --> 00:22:35,720 of the rest of America, it's not weird to them 441 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:36,920 that people don't thank God for that. 442 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's but it's it's part of a society 443 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:46,559 that really doesn't have a proper view of creation and 444 00:22:46,599 --> 00:22:48,400 a proper view of where we all get our gifts 445 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,920 and abilities from. And when you look at how we're created. 446 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:57,559 To your point, Todd, it's clear that we have a creator, right. 447 00:22:57,599 --> 00:22:58,960 I was dripping on the car the other day and 448 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:00,799 I was thinking to myself. I was looking at this 449 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,799 beautiful sunrise, and I'm thinking, how does an unbeliever look 450 00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:07,839 at the world and go, yeah, this is just an accident. 451 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:09,960 You know, this is part of the Big Bang theory. 452 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,640 You just can't do that with any semblance of integrity 453 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,880 and logic and reason. Clearly, we all have a created 454 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,640 order here and it's all by God. So yeah, that's 455 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,680 the unfortunate thing that you do get by a lot 456 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,119 of these pop stars and these sports athletes, is they 457 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,640 they Now, there's exceptions to the rule, right, there's Patrick 458 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,720 Mahome Mahomes, there's others Mahons that that give credit to 459 00:23:32,759 --> 00:23:34,880 God for their abilities, and that's the first thing they 460 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,720 say at press conferences. But then there are the others 461 00:23:37,839 --> 00:23:41,079 like you just played there, and and the the self 462 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:45,960 help kind of UH coaching, And this is very prevalent 463 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,240 in high schools around the around the country and in 464 00:23:49,319 --> 00:23:52,279 elementary schools where you bring in this kind of inspirational 465 00:23:52,319 --> 00:23:55,160 speaker and it's all about you can do better, believe 466 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,759 in yourself. And there's a place for that, right, especially 467 00:23:57,799 --> 00:24:00,880 with a lot of young people that have anxiety don't 468 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,039 have any self esteem, right, they need some of that. 469 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:04,960 But at the end of the day, we shouldn't have 470 00:24:05,039 --> 00:24:08,000 any doubt in our mind where we get our abilities from, 471 00:24:08,039 --> 00:24:09,000 and that is God, our. 472 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,279 Speaker 1: Creator, absolutely, And that's beautifully, beautifully well said. And I 473 00:24:12,319 --> 00:24:15,119 would just I would maybe closes out this way when 474 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,440 you think about what Walker brought up that look, none 475 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,599 of this can be happenstantial. I love when we accidentally 476 00:24:23,599 --> 00:24:27,519 see atheist organizations admit that. I love it. And this 477 00:24:27,599 --> 00:24:32,279 recently happens with NASA and they were scanning the universe 478 00:24:32,319 --> 00:24:34,680 and they came across a shape that was perfectly round, 479 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,599 and they came along and said, well, perfect roundness doesn't 480 00:24:39,799 --> 00:24:47,720 happen accidentally. Oh really, thanks for admitting that. 481 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 3: That's good. 482 00:24:49,039 --> 00:24:54,559 Speaker 1: Story number three, So sixty minutes went in memory. Hold 483 00:24:54,759 --> 00:25:01,359 this absolute babbling that Kamala Harris issued forth on Israel 484 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,559 and Walker Wildman's with me. He is the grandson of 485 00:25:04,599 --> 00:25:08,200 the great Don Wildman, who started American Family Radio, American 486 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:14,200 Family Association one hundred and eighty radio stations, publications, documentaries, films, 487 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,000 and Walker is a program there, as father's a program there. 488 00:25:17,039 --> 00:25:19,720 I have a program there, and Walker, I wanted to 489 00:25:19,759 --> 00:25:21,799 get you and to respond to this and think about 490 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,440 I find it difficult to just admit it, to to 491 00:25:26,519 --> 00:25:29,880 not hate Kamala Harris. Yeah, and we're called to not 492 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,519 do that. And I will look you in the eyes 493 00:25:32,519 --> 00:25:34,960 of brother in Christ and tell you I've never prayed 494 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,880 for her. Yeah, and I know we're called to do that. 495 00:25:38,559 --> 00:25:39,880 Will you look me in the eye and tell me 496 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,519 you love Kaila Harris. 497 00:25:43,279 --> 00:25:45,519 Speaker 3: Well, I can't do that, Todd, with honesty, and I 498 00:25:45,519 --> 00:25:47,720 can't with honestly look in look in your eyes and 499 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,039 tell you that I prayed for her specifically. Now I 500 00:25:50,079 --> 00:25:52,680 pray for our leaders right broadly, but not her by name. 501 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:58,680 And there it is a hard balance, Todd, to love 502 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,359 people because people are all created in the image of God. 503 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,680 Not all people are children of God, which is a 504 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,640 common misconception, right right. The only people that are children 505 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,920 of God are those who believe in Him and believe in. 506 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 1: Jesus for salvation. 507 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,079 Speaker 3: But everyone, even unbelievers, are all created in His image 508 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,200 right and under His authority, and so Kamala Harris is 509 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:25,119 no different. So there's this fine balance as believers because 510 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:29,039 we don't like what she is promoting, and it's really 511 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,119 an ideological and a heart thing. And what she's promoting, 512 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:37,279 whether it be abortion, homosexuality, transgenderism, or just a complete 513 00:26:37,279 --> 00:26:40,880 loss of sovereignty as a nation through illegal immigration, it's 514 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,680 very evil and wicked things. So we have to strike 515 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,839 that balance between being against what she is for, which 516 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,000 are very evil things, but also not forgetting that she's 517 00:26:50,039 --> 00:26:52,240 a human too, and she needs her soul saved and 518 00:26:52,279 --> 00:26:53,119 rescued by Jesus. 519 00:26:53,279 --> 00:26:55,839 Speaker 1: And that's our job. That's our job. I use imagery 520 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,759 to remind myself of this. I'll share this with you 521 00:26:57,799 --> 00:27:00,680 in a second. We'll go through what's sixty has decided 522 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,480 to do to try to rescue this, because the clip 523 00:27:02,519 --> 00:27:06,480 of her issuing forth this babble went absolutely viral and 524 00:27:06,519 --> 00:27:09,359 it's corrupt. What SEBIS does? They do this from time 525 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,519 to time. Sixty minutes, I forget the producer's name, exec producer. 526 00:27:12,759 --> 00:27:15,240 He admitted during the Clinton administration. Of course you're trying 527 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:20,799 to get Bill Clinton elected. There's a belief that Mike 528 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,119 Lindell simply created my pillow and it bloomed up, and 529 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,400 he got on TV and he made those funky ads, 530 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,559 and he made those ads. It's him doing the pillows 531 00:27:28,559 --> 00:27:30,920 and they're kind of cringe, and it was a cringe 532 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,599 that sold the pillows. That's not true. I mean there 533 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,480 are cringe I mean, he could afford a better logo, 534 00:27:36,519 --> 00:27:38,880 So why doesn't he get one because his daughter made 535 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,559 that one when he was a drug addict or a 536 00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:46,160 guy recently out of drug addiction, alcohol addiction, gambling addiction. 537 00:27:46,839 --> 00:27:50,039 He'd been sleeping on people's couches in the small town 538 00:27:50,079 --> 00:27:53,319 where my pillow is still located, and he had trouble 539 00:27:53,319 --> 00:27:55,640 sleeping given what he's done to his life and how 540 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,480 to end up. I know this because they interviewed Mike 541 00:27:57,519 --> 00:28:03,000 about this before he became a political personality. That's when 542 00:28:03,039 --> 00:28:06,240 the second change happens. Mike went around the county fairs 543 00:28:06,279 --> 00:28:09,400 all around the country selling the pillows, being there personally 544 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,279 twelve hours a day, five days a week, fair after 545 00:28:12,319 --> 00:28:15,000 fair after fair. Finally he sold enough of these pillows 546 00:28:15,039 --> 00:28:17,799 that he didn't afford to buy some TV ads and 547 00:28:17,839 --> 00:28:21,920 then some infomercials, and then the big success came. Now 548 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,680 that he has come out in stat's opinion on election integrity, 549 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,079 things like this happen. Major retailers just, oh, you know what, 550 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,480 we're going to cancel that order. And since we know 551 00:28:32,759 --> 00:28:35,680 that the people who run Joe Biden used banking et 552 00:28:35,759 --> 00:28:37,799 cetera to help control Americans, why wouldn't they put a 553 00:28:37,839 --> 00:28:40,759 note into big retailers saying, hey, can you cancel this guy? 554 00:28:41,279 --> 00:28:44,160 He's making problems for us. So Michael Wndll reached out 555 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,000 to us. We haven't worked with him for a number 556 00:28:46,039 --> 00:28:49,000 of years, not out of any sense of negativity love Mike, 557 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,839 just because we haven't. So we created this a way 558 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,000 to help Mike sell these pillows at the lowest price 559 00:28:54,039 --> 00:28:57,839 that's ever been offered.

Let's look at this, 567 00:29:23,799 --> 00:29:27,799 this sixty minutes gift that they are trying to give 568 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,400 Kamala Harris. Although they're getting caught at this let's watch. 569 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,519 Speaker 6: But it seems that Prime Minister net and Yah who 570 00:29:33,559 --> 00:29:34,799 is not listening. 571 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 7: Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted 572 00:29:40,839 --> 00:29:46,240 in a number of movements in that region by Israel 573 00:29:46,359 --> 00:29:52,000 that were very much prompted by or a result of 574 00:29:52,519 --> 00:29:56,160 many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen 575 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:56,680 in the region. 576 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 6: But it seems that Prime Minister net and Yah who 577 00:29:59,559 --> 00:30:00,799 is not listening. 578 00:30:01,119 --> 00:30:04,599 Speaker 7: We are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary 579 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,599 for the United States to be clear about where we 580 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,839 stand on the need for this war to end. 581 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: Looking at that side by side, you are an executive 582 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,039 and a host at a huge media network. Yeah, if 583 00:30:17,039 --> 00:30:19,240 someone in your team did that and it went out 584 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:20,400 an afar, what happens. 585 00:30:20,599 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 3: It's selective editing, it's it's termination worthy. And that's what's 586 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,400 happening here. And this is not a campaign app put 587 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,480 out by Kamala Harris. This is supposed to be news. 588 00:30:29,039 --> 00:30:31,960 This is propaganda. And one thing Todd that needs to 589 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:36,000 be explored legally is what is an in con contribution 590 00:30:36,119 --> 00:30:40,359 to a campaign good degree more and our networks selectively 591 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,880 colluding with campaigns to make candidates look good with the public. 592 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,960 And if they're in that, if they're doing that with intentionality, 593 00:30:48,319 --> 00:30:52,119 that is an in con campaign contribution. Campaign contributions, folks, 594 00:30:52,559 --> 00:30:55,680 are not just cash contributions. There's such thing as in 595 00:30:55,799 --> 00:30:59,000 con contributions. Look it up. That really needs to be 596 00:30:59,039 --> 00:31:01,799 explored in our nation because that's one of the only 597 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,960 legal remedies to getting these major networks to stop colluding 598 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:06,960 with the Democrat Party. 599 00:31:07,119 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more. And we all watched the so 600 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,440 called Twitter files and the Facebook files. I remember when 601 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:19,759 Barack Obama floated the idea of putting FCC observers in newsrooms, 602 00:31:20,319 --> 00:31:22,160 just in government deservers, just to make sure that the 603 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:26,359 news was applied equally. Do we arganlessly believe as people 604 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,960 in this business, that the same forces that were going 605 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,039 to Facebook et cetera, Twitter weren't also going to NBC 606 00:31:34,319 --> 00:31:37,160 and the other networks CBS and saying we need you 607 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,519 to change this story. Yeah, well we saw. 608 00:31:39,559 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 3: I played the clip deal down my show of Hillary 609 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,759 Clinton saying that basically, we've got to have the tech 610 00:31:45,799 --> 00:31:48,039 companies step up to the play with this election cycle 611 00:31:48,519 --> 00:31:51,279 and sensor and d platform conservatives. She said, that's the 612 00:31:51,319 --> 00:31:54,160 only way we're going to win is if you censor 613 00:31:54,359 --> 00:31:56,359 you and me and everyone else who shares the truth 614 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,359 on social media. So I think there's two paths forward here. 615 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:04,720 There's the legal path of exploring the incon contributions case 616 00:32:04,799 --> 00:32:07,640 law that's out there and maybe creating some new precedent 617 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,759 in the courts. But also we're gonna have to really 618 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:16,119 defund these major media conglomerates. CNN. Now they're putting up paywalls. 619 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,440 You can't read a CNN article without a paywall. Now 620 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,839 why because less people are watching their networks, less people 621 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,559 are reading their articles, so they're having to bring in 622 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:28,240 money somehow because the ad moneys aren't doing it. So 623 00:32:28,799 --> 00:32:31,079 that we're just gonna have to create alternative media. And 624 00:32:31,079 --> 00:32:33,400 that's what we do through your podcast, through various shows, 625 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:37,200 or American Family Radio, and create an entire ecosystem of 626 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:41,440 alternative media to really end up bankrupting the left wing media. 627 00:32:41,519 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, bankrupting them and then maybe one day they 628 00:32:45,279 --> 00:32:48,559 might get a little introspective. Yeah, maybe one day they 629 00:32:48,599 --> 00:32:50,200 might remember what it is to be journalist. Because I 630 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,440 got to give Bill Whittaker credit. I mean Bill Whittaker, 631 00:32:54,039 --> 00:32:56,319 and he's been a sixty minute correspondent for a long time. 632 00:32:56,599 --> 00:32:59,559 He knows the risk he played in asking questions like 633 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,920 this of Kamala Harris. Let's watch him question her about 634 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,319 who exactly is hurting democracy? This is video clip number four. 635 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 6: Was democracy best served by President Biden stepping down and 636 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,799 basically handing you a nomination. You didn't have to go 637 00:33:18,799 --> 00:33:21,400 through a primary process, you didn't have to fight off 638 00:33:21,759 --> 00:33:25,400 other contenders. That's not really the way our system was 639 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:26,319 intended to work. 640 00:33:27,519 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 7: President Biden made a decision that I think history is 641 00:33:32,039 --> 00:33:39,039 going to show is rare among leaders, which was to 642 00:33:39,079 --> 00:33:44,440 put country before self. And I am proud to have 643 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:49,240 earned the support of the vast majority of delegates and 644 00:33:49,359 --> 00:33:53,680 to have been elected the Democratic nominee. I am proud 645 00:33:53,759 --> 00:33:58,359 to have received the endorsement of leaders around this country 646 00:33:58,359 --> 00:34:03,400 from every background and walk of life to fight in 647 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:08,480 this election over the next month for our democracy. 648 00:34:09,079 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 6: But I think this truncated process is why people think 649 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,639 or see they don't really know who you are. 650 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 7: Look, I've been in this race for seventy days. 651 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:22,800 Speaker 3: What an admission? 652 00:34:23,079 --> 00:34:23,280 Speaker 2: Yeah? 653 00:34:24,679 --> 00:34:26,679 Speaker 1: The point I heard she grew up middle class? Did 654 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:27,039 you hear that? 655 00:34:27,119 --> 00:34:30,519 Speaker 3: And she worked at McDonald's though even though corporate doesn't 656 00:34:30,519 --> 00:34:31,159 even have her name in. 657 00:34:31,159 --> 00:34:33,840 Speaker 1: This record, that no record of that. Do you give 658 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,239 Whittaker credit for that? For that? I mean bold? Right? 659 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:37,800 That was bold? 660 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 3: And you know the campaign didn't agree to that going in. 661 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,400 There's no way, right, there's no way. 662 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:41,639 Speaker 2: Now. 663 00:34:41,639 --> 00:34:43,320 Speaker 3: They what they did is they said, if you're going 664 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,400 to do that after the fact, then we're going to 665 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,199 edit the clips and make it to the final production, 666 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,400 which is why you have two variations there. But yeah, 667 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,639 she was not ready for that. It was clear. 668 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,199 Speaker 1: If you've ever been interviewing someone who is Avisara to 669 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,239 you and they think they're locked and loaded for the 670 00:34:58,559 --> 00:35:00,639 interview and you ask them a question, have you ever 671 00:35:00,639 --> 00:35:04,159 seen someone just literally blue screen just just can't lock up? 672 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:04,519 Speaker 2: Yeah? 673 00:35:04,639 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, Do you remember any instance, because I got to 674 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:07,679 share one with you because it's so funny. 675 00:35:07,679 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 3: Well, I don't interview many hostile people. Yeah, we take 676 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,360 occasional hostile calls. Sure, Yeah, what's what's your story? 677 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:13,599 Speaker 2: Oh? 678 00:35:13,639 --> 00:35:15,559 Speaker 1: So there was a guy this was this is really 679 00:35:15,559 --> 00:35:18,280 cool when I worked in radio and Spokane back before 680 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,079 I did tech and all that, and this guy wrote 681 00:35:21,119 --> 00:35:24,199 a he created a cartoon of me, and it got 682 00:35:24,199 --> 00:35:25,840 into this spokes and review. It was like a letter 683 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,079 to the editor and this spokes review the newspaper. They're 684 00:35:28,079 --> 00:35:32,239 hated my guts and they published this cartoon and it 685 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,840 was me shooting out the phrase well regulated militia from 686 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:40,679 the Second Amendment. So I apparently didn't understand about regular 687 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,360 militia or was trying to erase that. So back in 688 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,559 the days of phone books, I looked this guy up, 689 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,400 called him, said, hey, this is this is Todd Herman. 690 00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:54,239 Oh my gosh, are you mad at me?

And my producer, Scott, 716 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,440 he said, I don't think so, because he just emptied breakfast. 717 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,760 Speaker 3: But his entire setup right of blaming inanimate objects as 718 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,559 if guns, like right, ran on the street, right, so right. 719 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:46,199 Speaker 1: I once showed a lady and this was my podcastin's 720 00:37:46,199 --> 00:37:48,440 heard this before, but you haven't, so I abuse you 721 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,639 with it. We lived in Seattle, as you know, and 722 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,159 across the street there was his family that moved in 723 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,519 and our kids kind of got together a few times. 724 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:58,559 So we had him over the house and the lady 725 00:37:58,559 --> 00:38:01,400 came downstairs. She said to me, well, she's sitting and 726 00:38:01,519 --> 00:38:03,719 she's in the farm. She goes, I understand that you 727 00:38:06,119 --> 00:38:16,360 have uh guns? Yes, yes I do. Are they are 728 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,880 they locked up? Yes? There, they're locked up so kids 729 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,960 can't get them. Would you like to see them? Yes? 730 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,039 So I took her downstairs and there's my gun safe 731 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,760 and from this great company, Northwest safe. And so I 732 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:34,679 opened the safe and she jumped back and I said, 733 00:38:34,679 --> 00:38:38,719 they're not snakes. They're not going to invite you. And 734 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,559 she she looks at the guns and there's there may 735 00:38:41,559 --> 00:38:43,960 have been three or four r setups and some other 736 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,519 things in there are a lot of pistols, a lot 737 00:38:45,559 --> 00:38:49,239 of ammo. So she goes, you must really like hunting. 738 00:38:51,039 --> 00:38:55,159 I go, yeah, it's it's all hunting. That's why I've 739 00:38:55,199 --> 00:38:57,960 got all the red dot scopes and stuff, because that's 740 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:02,039 why mac right, so that it is hunting. And so 741 00:39:02,159 --> 00:39:03,639 she I locked it up because do you feel about 742 00:39:03,639 --> 00:39:05,840 She goes, I do. I'm glad those are secured. She 743 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,960 invited us over to her home. She was a farmer 744 00:39:08,039 --> 00:39:12,079 rap and so we're sitting, we're sending the kitchen and 745 00:39:12,119 --> 00:39:14,480 the husband's making us espresso and the kids are playing, 746 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,400 and I said to her, I go, hey, Kim, I 747 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:22,400 know that you're a farmer, rap and probably have sample drugs. 748 00:39:22,639 --> 00:39:25,519 Are those in the house? Oh yes, but they're in 749 00:39:25,559 --> 00:39:34,599 my office. Is the office door locked? Oh? Oh no, 750 00:39:35,639 --> 00:39:39,440 so the kids can get out those? Oh my gosh, 751 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:43,679 Well let me show you. There's samples all over. Does 752 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,320 the door lock? No? 753 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:51,400 Speaker 3: There you go, right, and she had been tuitioned close dangerous, 754 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:52,800 the most dangerous thing of society. 755 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,360 Speaker 1: I'll keep an eye on it's and the way, the 756 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,079 story and what I loved. As I walk back into 757 00:39:56,079 --> 00:40:02,159 the kitchen, her husband goes, well done right, so perfect. 758 00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:07,079 We started this conversation talking about neither of us specifically 759 00:40:07,079 --> 00:40:12,679 prayed for Kamala and both of us. Should I have 760 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,000 a trick I use to not hate people like this? 761 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:21,239 You kind of mentioned it. I picture them in chains. 762 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:26,000 If you and I were walking through two below and 763 00:40:26,079 --> 00:40:30,440 we came upon a woman chained to a tree, you 764 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,039 and I would stop and we would probably call the police. 765 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,360 We would definitely go talk to her. What happened. I've 766 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,119 been chained to the tree. No one will let me out. 767 00:40:39,199 --> 00:40:40,800 We would do what we could to get a release 768 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:44,400 from the tree. We'd call the police, right, we'd feed her, 769 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,920 we'd give her water. You or I would probably take 770 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,440 the shirts off our backs and warmer, does it work 771 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,599 for you to take people like Kamala and she's not 772 00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:59,639 chained to a tree, she's chained in hell. I think 773 00:40:59,639 --> 00:41:00,760 we should you that more often. 774 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,519 Speaker 3: Absolutely, we'll do that. 775 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 1: Walker Wildman, American Family Radio one of my bosses, kind 776 00:41:06,519 --> 00:41:08,559 of technically that boss one of my colleagues as well. 777 00:41:08,639 --> 00:41:11,960 American Family Radio.
