Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the three Stories version of The Todd Herman Show.
Story number one, are you and by that, I mean
we strong enough to trust Jesus with the latest so
called trans murders. Story number two the cracker barrough shareholder
lawsuits should start with the CEO's bank statements. And story
number three selling God's masterpieces at bulk discounts. We'll talk

Speaker 2 (00:43):
The Todd Herman Show is one percent disapproved by big
pharma technocrats and tyrn s everywhere from the high mountains
of Free America. Here's the Emerald City EXI God to
her Man.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Today is the day the Lord has made in these
of the times to which God has decided we shall live.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
And I have a theory. It's a tough one.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
I've watched this series of latest murders by a very
gender confused human being, and I'm not saying that's why
he did this. But I do believe, and so does
the Diagnostic Statistical Manual, that being convinced that you are
the opposite sex is a psychoses and that means it's
a break with reality. And I'm wondering about God's purpose

(01:42):
for allowing all this, And I'm wondering if God's purpose
is to see are we strong enough to trust Jesus.
I got admit when I watched the outcome of this,
my first response was not.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Lord, you know what you're doing. It was doubt. It
was anger, and why wouldn't it be.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
I want to go through some comparisons to responses as
we build up into this discussion about how Jesus response
to this, but we can start with two words. Jesus wept.
It was not supposed to be this way. It was
not God's choice for us to live with death and
to live with violence. That was our decision, when we
decided as a species to turn our back on God
and say we have a better plan. You warned us

(02:21):
about the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
but we wanted it. So let's compare some responses. This
is a young kid, a fifth grader, who praised God
made it out of the attack, and he has his
point of view, which I considered to be far more
mature than what we heard from politicians. This kid had
been praying when this attack happens, and listen as he
interacts with the media.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
Yeah, I think he's going to be okay. And then
my friend, he was like laying on top of me,
like making sure I was safe and he got hit.
So that was really brave of him.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
And on your neck.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
Yeah, that was I don't even know what it is from.
Kind of looks like debri ors something.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
That came from doing this. Yeah, what are you feeling?
You see who you put together in here? Whether that's
got to be a tough.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
Yeah, I'm just like confused.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
He's probably in shock, the poor little boy and communicating
so clearly. No greater love has man than to lay
down his life for his brother. Someone did that? Now,
Praise God. That little boy is not dying, it appears
according to him. So are we willing to trust Jesus
in situations like this? That little boy laid his body
down on top of another little boy to save him.

(03:36):
No greater love has man, we see it. Are we
brave enough to tout Jesus? To know that the kids
who died praying to him went straight to him. Are
we brave enough for that? Are we brave enough to
remember that at the Trum of Lazarus. There's a whole
bunch of debates as to why Jesus wept, but we
know he wept in the face of death, the stench

(03:59):
of it. But I also happen to believe that the
subtext of this is he told people who he was,
and people said, Lord Lord, if you'd been here, my
brother would have not died. And Jesus, I wonder if
he was weeping that. You still don't get it. I
control death completely. It has no it is nothing I

(04:22):
can't stop. It has a meaning to you, It does
not to me. The little ones who died, I believe,
went straight into the arms of the Lord Jesus, and
he was overjoyed to see them. Because this is what
we're told in the Bible. So let's compare this to
the mayor of Minneapolis who decides to do something you

(04:43):
can't do. I trust God when he says he will
not be mocked. The Bible tells us God will not
be mocked. The mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fray, apparently doesn't
believe that.

Speaker 5 (04:55):
And don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers
right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the
first week of school, they were in a church. These
are kids that should be learning with their friends. They
should be playing on the playground. They should be able
to go to school or church in peace without the

(05:19):
fear or risk of violence, and their parents should have
the same kind of assurance.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
This is the same guy who came out to mock
thoughts and prayers. This is the same guy who came
out and said his priority was in fact, protecting the
so called transcommunity from hate. So are we brave enough
to touch Jesus in these circumstances because we were told
there would come a time where most people's hearts would
grow cold, where people would teach, would seek teachers who

(05:48):
would tickle their itching ears tell them falsehoods. And people
are being told falsehoods like kids are being told you
were born in the wrong body. It's falsehood, and it's
being promoted and propagated, and it's harmful when kids break
from reality. But we're also told this, if thoughts and
prayers don't matter, that would mean that there's no spiritual
overtones to this. The entire thing has spiritual overtones to it.

(06:13):
A young man confused about his gender and this is
promoted and it's good and it's healthy, and you're brave
and you're stunning, and change your name, and here's a
legal document. Now you're legally a woman. And if the
rest of the world doesn't get it, it's because the
rest of the world is their haters.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
That's why they don't get it.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
And if you doubt there is an overtone too this,
let me tell you about one of his drawings, because
one of the drawings washes as clear of any delusions
on this, or at least it should. I know that
you want to wash your body clear of things you
get dirt during the day, sweat, et cetera. I don't
mean to be super super blunt, but I just do
mean to be very very clear. The companies you're buying

(06:51):
soap from probably don't care about your values. For instance,
you probably believe all lives matter. At alansoaps dot Com,
Sash Todd, we believe that, and we employ people that
the rest of the world would have seen unalived in
the womb. And I'm not saying maybe this is what
doctors wanted to do to Alan and his brother Ian. Well,

(07:11):
his parents said no, and so their kids can have
a place to work and other young people like them.
They invented Alan Soaps and turned to a family that
makes soap as a love affair. They've done it for
three generations. Hence the soap is all natural. It's made
in America. I think it's in Pennsylvania. I know it's
in the Midwest. Has no chemicals in it, and it's
as gentle as it can be in your skin. And

(07:32):
it promotes work for the kids and other young people
who are told you're worthless to society.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
They're not. We love them.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
It's Alan Soaps dot com slash todd. Get ten percent
off all the products there. That's Alansoaps dot com slash Todd.
If you're watching this, it's a difficult image to wash
out of your mind. This comes from the notebook of
the shooter, the murder who used a gun. I say
that because shooter implies it's just the gun that did it.
It's an image of him with the gun on his back,

(08:01):
looking into a mirror and looking back at him as
a demon.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
And if you do not.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Believe in the spiritual overtones of this, then think again
about the target, the most innocent beings. You can find
little kids in the most innocent moment praying. It is
an attempt to mock God.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
And I've seen it. I've seen members of the left
come out and.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Say, hey, if prayer works, Hakkama didn't protect the kids
who were praying. Because God did not design us to
be in a broken world.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
We chose the broken world. And when you remove prayer
from society as a whole, you.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Remove a connection to God. Now you can say, look,
I believe in God. I just don't spend a lot
of time praying. I believe in God. I just don't
go to church. I believe in God, I just don't
read the Bible. Then you don't know God. And Jesus
tells us even people who believe in him, even people
who've done miracles, like you could say, look, I feed
the poor. I've got a nonprofit I feed the poor.

(09:08):
Certainly I'm going to heaven. And Jesus has told us, no, wait,
I don't know you. I can't confess you with my mouth.
You haven't confessed me with yours. I trust Jesus when
he tells us that there's going to be times like this.
I trust God when he says, when you install human
kings instead of me, you're gonna end up with kings

(09:28):
who seek to enrich themselves. And this is one of
the things that's been going on with promoting this psychosis,
this mental illness, this tragedy of kids being confused about
their gender. It's a money making enterprise. It's a power
seeking enterprise for politicians on the left, money making for
people in pharma and for medical devices, and for Madison

(09:49):
Avenue who can now sell specific lines of clothing to
little kids like they sell these packers for babies, so baby,
little girls below the age four.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Can pretend to be boys.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Are we brave enough to touch Jesus When Jesus said,
when God explained that he has made us in his image,
that he counted every hair in her head, that he
has specific plans for us, are we willing to trust
the sacrifice?

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Now?

Speaker 3 (10:22):
See this goes straight to this, this unaliving of these kids.
It's a brutal act.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Jesus knows what that feels like. The Lord of the
universe knows what that feels like. He knows what it
feels like to be unlived in brutal fashion. God the
Father knows what it's like to watch his own son.
They're relatable. A single God and multiple in three personalities

(10:48):
knows what it is to be in pain this way.
Can we trust that Jesus had a purpose and perhaps
the purpose is for more people to understand the spiritual
connection to this and let's go back and compare again responses.
There are prayer vigils going on. Some of the kids
who survived this went back into a prayer vigil. There

(11:08):
are people talking about SSRIs. Hey was this kid on
too many SSRIs? There are people talking about what is
the connection between having a break with reality? As the
DMS five refers to genderdics for you, it's a psychosis.
So with this break from reality, should we look into this?
Maybe this is a symptom. Maybe this should be treated
as a call for help. On the other hand, you

(11:29):
have again Jacob Fray going back at what he thinks
needs to be done.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
I have heard about a whole lot of hate that's
being directed at our trans community. Anybody who is using
this as an using this as an opportunity to villainize
our trans community or any other community out there has
lost their sense of common humanity. We should not be

(11:57):
operating out of a place of hate for anyone. We
should be operating from a place of love for our kids.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Kids died today. This needs to be about them.

Speaker 5 (12:12):
This needs to be wrapping our arms around these families
with every bit of love that we can possibly show them.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
Let's do that to the families whose other kids are
confused about their gender. Does it strike you as a
call for help, Let's have love for the kids who
went through this by not standing by and ignoring one
of the symptoms of this. When you speak of good
and evil, you're speaking of sides. And when you think

(12:41):
about what Jesus spoke about in terms of the devil,
who is he? He's a liar, thief, and a murder
from the beginning. How does he behave angel of light?
He masquades as an angel of light. The masquerading lie
here is that affirmation only is the way to go.
But try this in any other sense. If you had
a kid who came to you and said, you know what,

(13:04):
I am adopted, and you had proof, you had the
video of the child being born, and the child said, no,
that's not me. I refuse to believe it's now affirm me.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
Would you? Could you?

Speaker 1 (13:16):
By the same logic, you should because we have pictures
of them as boys and girls, and the question is
can we trust Jesus?

Speaker 3 (13:25):
Is there a reason for this? Yes?

Speaker 1 (13:26):
How do I know this? Because I know the being
who allowed it to happen. And maybe the reason is this.
Some people somewhere have woken up and had their final
dose of reality and have said it's just too broken.
This can't be explained humanly. This can't be explained in

(13:47):
a scientific sense. There's something deeply spiritual going on. I
say that because every single week at our church in
North Idaho, we get exiled families from the separate countries
like California and Washington coming in and saying the same thing.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
I trust that Jesus has a plan.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Story number two, The Cracker Barrel shareholder lawsuit should start
with the CEO's bank statements. You know, because I did
the todtter Herman Show radio shows for all those years
and still continue to do it. Obviously taught Herman Show
radio shows. I lived in a world where we talked
about living the brand. This is something we used to

(14:23):
say in music radio and I worked in music radio
for a very brief period of time. But if you're
going to be successful in music radio, it's important that
you live the brand. So if you have an ACR station,
you need to be able to communicate with the ACR
audience by hanging out with them. And if you're running
a country music station, you need to be able to
learn to hang out with country music fans and get
to know them. Living the lifestyle means you're being genuine,

(14:44):
particularly if you're an on air personality. Now if you're
in sales or management, maybe that's a little bit different,
unless you're a program director, and then you need to
be able to speak with them in ways that they
will understand. So much about what happened at Cracker Barrel
indicates to me that this is no longer understood or
even cared for, which is why I say, in the
upcoming lawsuit, the shareholder lawsuit, and there's got to be one,

(15:06):
they should start with the CEO's bank records because of
the glasses she wore.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Literally, the glasses.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
She wore mapped up to an in depth insider analysis
into her moves to quote refine the brand of Cracker Barrel.
So let's explain this in just a second. I actually
had a chance to talk with my friend Zach Abraham
about this. Zach is the chief investment officer Bulwart Capital
Management that Know Your riskradio dot com.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
He sits on some boards.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
He thinks the board of Cracker Burrel should be fired
for what they've done. And he agrees with me that
the lifestyle thing is very, very important. Your lifestyle is
important to you. What's going on in our country is
the battle for the existence of the American economy as
a dominant force or as a subservient force. You are
on a precipice, and if you're about to retire, if

(15:53):
you're five to ten, even fifteen years from retirement, you
would really be a silly goose. That's a technical phrase,
a silly goose. If you didn't take Zach up on
his free opportunity to have a no obligation series of
meetings where he will give you a second opinion on
your retirement plan, you will end these three meetings understanding
what Zach thinks you are at where you're at in
terms of getting to retirement. Are you exposed to too

(16:16):
much risk? Are you being actively managed? Because active management
portfolios can reduce risk and volatility. So go find out.

Performance, dosn't guarantee future results Trek twenty five, DASH two
five to two. The upcoming lawsuit should start with the
glasses and then the bank account. Here's why I say
that it was a fascinating dynamic to see Twitter users
see the glasses of the CEO of Cracker Barrel, Julie
Fel's messino, and based upon that say the brand is

(16:53):
in trouble. Those glasses are a uniform for many many people.
They're the uniform of wanting to be on MSNBC as
a co commentator. They're the uniform of smart glasses. Is
a leftist thinker. Leftism in brands like Cracker Barrew cannot
coexist because the brand Cracker Barrel was built around a
nineteen twenties nostalgic memory of the United States of America.

(17:14):
Leftism does not like the United States of America, particularly
not back in the nineteen twenties or in the founding era.
They want to envision the future unburdened by the past.
In Cammy Harris Gibberish, so people saw the glasses and
they said this will and poorly. There's the fourteen percent
stock dip. The glasses were the indicator. I'm saying, her
personal bank account is what the lawsuit should really dig into,

(17:36):
and it's not even the big money she makes as
Cracker Burrew. I want to see her last five year
bank records, debit cards and credit cards. I want her
entire spending pattern for the last five years because I
have a theory. There's an investor. His name is sar
Dar Big Laurie, and this comes from Fox Business News.
Arson Nomani wrote a great article that this guy is

(17:57):
a major investor in Crackerburrow so happens to own Steak
and Shake. He warned the board, this is going to
be catastrophic. He responded to Julie Fellow's memo she was
viewing a transformation planned strategic transformation to quote refine the brand.
He came out and said, no, the brand's fine. What
we need is a churnaround. We've got a broken board,

(18:19):
not a broken company. Cracker Barrel's not broken.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
The board is.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
He warned the company about a coming catastrophe. He actually
created one hundred and twenty page PowerPoint slide deck with
the presentation titled Cracker Barrel is in crisis in red.
This was on October twenty fourth, twenty twenty four. For
an investor to spend his time creating something like this

(18:44):
and then to be ignored is extraordinary. This is why
I think the lawsuit will happen. The CEO and the
board rejected Sedar Big Glory's criticism, and he published another
slide deck warning again about the catastrophe that was to come.
And now we know the catastrophe came. The stock has dumped.
People have woken up to the fact that this is

(19:05):
a woke company and it's going to continue to harm
them unless they fire the board of the CEO and
apologize for losing their way. So why her bank accounts.
I've been to Cracker Barrel maybe three times. It's okay food,
it's not my thing. I like the entire interior. I
think it's funky. I like the sense of nostalgia that
I like. It's just not my bag for food or

(19:27):
is it hers I'm gonna bet. I don't know this
to be the case, and I don't want to wish
for bearing false witness. I'm not gonna say it's true,
but I'm willing to bet. If you went back to
her last five year bank records and spending records, do
you think she was a big fan of Cracker Barrel?
Do you think she likes comfort foods? If you're looking

(19:47):
to her spending patterns, do you think you'd see anything
that supports a nostalgia for historic America? Or do you
think you'd find the opposite, Someone who disdains the historical America,
who disdains the founding, who can't wait to drag Cracker
Barrel into modern society, where they also shun all things
not invented before twenty twenty. Story number three selling God's

(20:11):
masterpieces at bulk discounts. I am not against in vitro fertilization.
I am against selling God's creations at bulk discounts. I
have friends of mine who had to turn to in
vitro fertilization because they were unable to conceive children without it,
And they're the exact short of people we want to

(20:32):
be parents, and they gave thoughts to doing this the
old fashioned way, because parental surrogacy is as old as
the Bible, and in many cases in the Bible, people
carried this out through their own wishes and it turned
out to be Yeah, they got kids, but they also
got themselves disasters. This is not the new way of thinking.
It's just done at new scale and with new people,

(20:54):
and done with far less care for the kids who
result in this. In the Bible, read about Abram before
he became Abraham, being promised to have multiple multiple kids,
and his wife Sarah, who was very ild, didn't think
this was going to happen. They got frustrated God's plan
was not working. He had his timing wrong.

Speaker 3 (21:14):
God was late.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
God is never late, and his timing is never wrong.
But that's how they felt. So Sarah took it under
herself to allow.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
Abram to lay with her handmaid, her.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
Servant, and they conceived the child, and the united the
united nature of the people at that time split. This
is one of the splittings of mankinds along theological lines.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
We live with this to this day. That mistake.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
Now, the life was a blessing, the son was a blessing,
The splitting of mankind continues to be a curse. It
was not God's plan. Now is it God's plan that
there's in virtual fertilization. I don't know. I know he
said to be free, full, and multiply. I know he
allows us to look into how our bodies are made.
I know he signed his work. I consider DNA to

(22:07):
be God's signed work. I consider it to be language,
well because it is. It's readable, it's understandable, it's repeatable,
it's falsifiable. It's language just like any other language. And
I believe it's God's beautiful signature. I believe the skies
are a signature. I believe the very outcome of our
bodies are a signature. And then I know the Bible
tells us God made us in his image. Therefore I

(22:28):
know these things are his signature. He also calls us
his masterpiece. So I'm not against in vitro fertilization. I'm
not against surrogacy. I'm against doing it in bulk, and
particularly when it's being done as people, for people who
seem to be treating kids as an accessory at them,
like a line of shoes or a series of purses,

(22:49):
and they seem to see that often. It also deeply
concerns me that men, and it's usually men who have
no business being around any kids at all, are allowed
to purchase babies in bulk, sometimes not in bulk, sometimes individually.
So it's not that I'm against the IVF, it's I'm

(23:10):
against it in bulk.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
This starts with me for a look at.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
How our bodies come together, how we're knit together in
our mother's womb. This is this is a time time
lapse video of us being knit together.

Speaker 3 (23:25):
In our mother's womb.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
This is a sixteen hour time lapse of an embryo
forming its spinal cords. And as you see the pieces
begin to come together, look at the structure, look at
the plan as it begins. That happens in the womb
because DNA says, here's how you build it, and you

(23:47):
could track that throughout the entire creation of a human being.
So when God said we are knit together in the womb,
that He's counted every hair in our heads. Christians have
to believe this. And if you're not Christian, you don't
believe in God. You need to explain to me this
how random mutation got us to that point and where
we're missing, and how can we do not see all

(24:08):
sorts of transitional fossils, and why we don't see human
beings continuing to mutate. I know billions and billions in
billions of beers. Again, you have no real transitional species
to go back and point two. At no point can
you point to a giraffe that had a short neck.
They didn't happen that way, or a honey bee that
couldn't fly backwards. They've always had that ability. So God's

(24:29):
design is so miraculous that it should not be sold
at bulk discounts. This is a man who's describing the
links to which he and his partner went to have
the perfect baby. So they purchased forty eggs and maybe
they got a bulk discount.

Speaker 6 (24:49):
Quick recap. We're having two babies. We bought forty frozen
eggs from our egg donor. Twenty eight of those eggs
survive the thying process in them were fertilized. Twelve of
those fertilized eggs did not develop into usable embryos. So
that make sixteen embryos that were sent to PGT testing
and we.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
So some of them did develop, but they chose not
to allow them to continue to life unless you believe
that life begins at conception as I do.

Speaker 3 (25:12):
Well. That creates an ethical dilemma, doesn't it.

Speaker 6 (25:14):
Us got in those PGT testing results, starting with Joshua side,
his one embryo that was rated good to average came
back as chaotic, which checks out that one is no
longer usable. This one, which was originally graded good, came
back annuploid. Chromosome thirteen only had one in the pair.
On my side, the one that was originally graded as
bad indeed came back annuploid. It's chromosome thirteen also only

(25:37):
had one in the pair. This one, which was originally
graded as good, came back with no DNA detected, so
that's no longer usable. This one, too, which was also
originally graded as good, came back annuploid. Chromosome number four
only had one in the pair. Lastly, this one, which
was originally graded good to average, came back as high.
Mosaic chromoson number two had three when it was supposed
to have two. All in all, were so happy that

(25:58):
we decided to purchase as many ros and eggs as
we could forty because that leaves us with these ten
embryos for two babies, and we're told that the majority
of journeys take two to three transfers to get pregnant.
We've decided which embryo on both sides that we want
to transfer to our two surrogates. Will keep you updated
as we do the transfers and as we find out
whether or not we're pregnant, and continue to be transparent

(26:20):
of how many transfers it takes. But we're not going
to share the sex of both babies until we're officially pregnant,
just like any other expecting parents would. Thanks for following
along and we're excited to keep you updated.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
How do you feel at that a bulk purchase of
human eggs? Now again, I have friends who've done this
and yep, they're opposite sex attracted.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
And they're married. And that's better.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Because kids deserve to have the experience of having a
male and female parent. Because Gods said it is not
good that man is alone. He did not create another
man for him. I know that sounds like the bigoted
Adam and Eve versus Adam and Steve thing. I get that,
and we can talk through same sex attraction and the

(27:11):
difficulty it must be to experience that and to know
that this is not God's plan, and to have to
deal with that like people who are sex addicts or
addicts of seeing sexual acts on phones, etc. It's very
difficult and it's not the topic of this particular segment.
What is the topic is the purchasing in bulk. So
am I more bothered that it sees two many?

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (27:32):
I am because I believe kids have a right to
parents of opposite sex, because God created a compliment between
male and female. They're things men are greater, ats are
better at than women. Likewise, and I know there's are generalities.
It's the purchasing in bulk that bothers me. Nearly two
dozen children receies from a Los Angeles couple accused of

(27:52):
running a surrogacy scam. Two dozen, that's twenty four kids.
And this this is from next Shark at Yahoo News.
Nearly two dozen children sees from Los Angeles couple accused
of surrogacy scam. Authorities removed twenty one children from the
custody of a Los Angeles couple after discovering a surrogacy

(28:13):
operation that allegedly deceived multiple surrogate mothers.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
Across the country. Business busted.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
The investigigation began in May second when a two month
old baby was hospitalized with head injuries, prompting police to respond. Soon,
officers discovered fifteen more infants than toddlers under the care
of six nannies at a nine bedroom mansion in Arcadia.
Surveillance footage revealed physical abuse of the children, including one
nanny shaking the injured infant. Ghan Juan sixty five and

(28:40):
Sylvia Soong thirty eight, were arrested on May nine on
suspicion of fairly child endangerment, but released four days later
without charges. Six more children were later removed from other locations,
bringing the totals to twenty one children under thirteen years
of age. How the scam ran, Juan and Zang operated
their business, Mark Surrogacy from their Arcadia home, recruiting through Facebook.
Zang allegedly provided different accounts to various surrogates, telling some

(29:03):
she had only one daughter. Court records, on the other hand,
show she told a Los Angeles judge she and Juan
had at least a dozen children. Surrogates were allegedly paid
tens of thousands of dollars each and told they were
helping a couple was struggling with infertility. Police responded to
at least six calls at the property since January twenty
twenty two, including some reports of suspected child abuse and
illegal business operations. The big picture, the case highlights regulatory

(29:26):
gaps and commercial surrogacy industry, particularly involving international clients seeking
US citizenship for newborns. Research shows that between twenty fourteen
and twenty twenty, forty one point seven percent of foreign
intended parents using US surgate services were Chinese nationals. Zang
told investigators she wanted many children after seeing how China's
one child policy had damage families. It's in bulk, and

(29:50):
my friend Katie Faust, who tracks these things with them
before US, has some commentary about this, and that is
that it's not a swindle.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
This is house does mind.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
In separate countries like Washington State, you can actually purchase
kids upfront. You can purchase them and the thing you
have to do to take them home will astonish you,
as well as the thing you don't have to do
to take them home. I'll talk about that in a second,
as well as the reality is what goes on in

(30:24):
the womb between twins. My friend Katie Fauss Organization also
posted that there's a lot that goes in our bodies
that can go unnoticed, and as you age, things can
add up over time. Right, you can suddenly end up
with this or that ache or pain. What's very common
for people is to realize, man, I've put on a
ton of weight, and if you're above the age of forty,
it can be really, really difficult to take that weight

(30:45):
off or keep yourself at a good body weight. There's
a hack I'm aware of, and I became aware of
because I started using it for insulin resistance. As moniocal
as I am about my diet, I track every macronutrients.
I drink three hundred and sixty ounces of water every day,
exercise for two to two and a half hours a day,
five to six days a week. I was shocked on
I had insulin resistance, so I started to take Bourbing Breakthrough.

(31:09):
As I've learned about this product and how it works,
it occurred to me, this is fantastic for weight loss,
and in fact, Bioptimizers says the same thing. This product
Bourbing Breakthrough energizes your mitochondria and these are the energy
centers in your cell. Their job is to take fat
and utilize it for energy. The other option is to
shorter on your mid section or your thighs, or wherever

(31:31):
your body stores fat. So if you're sick of having
your fat burning switch turned off, then this is a
way to turn it on. Go to bob demizers dot

before us is my friend, Katie Foules, organization that fights
for the rights of children to know their parents, and

(32:06):
she writes this on Twitter or at least organization does.
Studies show that twins begin interacting with each other as
early as fourteen weeks. By eighteen weeks, twins are touching
each other's faces, hands, and even holding hands or hugging.
This surrogacy won't only sever him from his mom, it
destroys the bond between babies too cruel. Now Katie is

(32:28):
completely against surrogacy unless it's between families, and even then
she's suspect of it. But on a massive industrial scale,
it is becoming very very clear that this is going
to be used for distinct evil. In the separate country
of Washington State, you can bring eighteen, twenty, even twenty
two women, the number is just cap by your money.

(32:51):
You can bring them into the separate country of Washington,
have them impregnated. They stay there, the babies just date
and as long as you visit one single time during
the gestation once you can come back and at the
ninth month.

Speaker 3 (33:07):
Take all the babies to wherever you live.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
Now, that's following, of course, a big, big background check
like they do with adoptions. You know, when you adopt
a baby, you need to go through these big background checks.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
Oh I'm just kidding.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
No, No, In the case of the book purchase of
the babies, there's no background check.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
Just bye bye, enjoy the kids.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
Them.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Before US has tracked fourteen or fifteen cases of people
with criminal backgrounds who choose to use bulk commercial surrogacy
to purchase children. Some of them already had plans to
exploit the children in the worst possible ways that was
already part of the plan. There are people in courts,

(33:51):
there are people going to prison for having done this
through commercial surrogacy in bulk. DC Dreno on Twitter points
this out. This has become a mainstream story for people
who track such things. We come to Pennsylvania were a
man convicted of violating children has been banned with contact

(34:11):
from children. He's not to contact children, it's illegal, but
he was able to adopt a baby via surgacy.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
Insane.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
It is insane, and this is one of the reasons
why I'm against bulk levels of commercial surrogacy. On the
let's say, I don't know, hysterical libertarian side of things,
Richard Hannania wrote, is opposition to surrogacy the worst political position.
It has at least unusual combination of a lot of
bad traits. Totalitarian, anti market, dysgenic, anti life, anti utilitarian,

(34:43):
naturalistic fallacy.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
It's anti life.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
What sort of life did the eggs that those guys
rejected when they bought them? In bulkcalf Even the UN
is talking about violence and exploitation of women through surgacy.
Even the UN is doing that. So is a brave
therapist named Stephanie Wynn. She talks about the feminism of
freedom versus the feminism of caring.

Speaker 7 (35:08):
I'm curious if you've been following the work of Mary
Herringpen lately. Yes, right, So she talks about feminism of
freedom versus the feminism of care, and I've never heard
anyone put it that way until recently. But it makes
you think, you know, when I listen to all these
interviews that I've been listening to with Mary Hairton, thinking like, Yeah,

(35:32):
who convinced us as women that our primary value was
around autonomy? Not that our freedom isn't important. Of course
it's important. I value my freedom. I'm not saying I
want to be oppressed, But who convinced us and whose
idea was it that that should be our primary guiding
value when actually so much of what it is to

(35:53):
be a woman is to be a caregiver.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
A caregiver not an eggmaker. There's a big difference. God's
intended us to be fruitful and multiply. I see nothing
there where he said, plus make a lot of money
selling my children in bulk. After all, they're just my masterpieces.
I stand against selling God's masterpieces at any point, even

(36:19):
at bulk discounts, even if it's masquerading an Angel of light.
Stuff you know, to fulfill people who biologically are incapable
of having kids.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
This is the Todd Hermannshaw.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Please go, be well, be strong, be kind, and please
make every effort to walk in the light of Christ.
