What's your PhD? In I've a PhD? In shut your whole PhD and shut up. It's another show about credentialism, this time inspired by the great work of my friend Chris Bray, who are in the show from time to time. Why bother ha him on the show when I could just steal his stuff. I'm not really stealing him giving credit, just a reminder about empty credentialism. PhD and shut up. And a master's degree and because I said so, And you know what, I've got a dual masters and do you
know who I am? Those are important degrees. We'll talk about this with the help of God Almighty. I don't know how he is, how impressed he is by your PhD. I'm just saying the Todd Herman's show is one disapproved by big pharma technocrats and tyrants everywhere. Now the Hi'm mountains of Free America. Here's the Emerald City exile God Herman. Today is a day the Lord has made, and these are the times to which God has decided we shall live. Welcome, Welcome, one and all to the Todd Herman Show.
A very important show. After all, I'm a credential The talk show host and do you know who I am? And let me tell you a little bit about all the things. So there's a difference between credentials and ability, and there's a difference between empty credentials and credentials that actually mean something. Credentialism is the is sort of like scientism. So science, of course is
a process. You arrive at a theory and around that you build a thesis, and from that thesis then you attempt to disprove your thesis because by if you cannot disprove it, then you can say that the thesis looks strong. So that's a scientific method. It doesn't mean that you come out and say this is absolutely what happens, but it's an indicator that this might be what's happening. Scientism is trust the scientists, all right, but which ones?
Well, the right ones? Well, but how do you know the right well, because they're the ones that everybody says is right. Who's everybody people on the TV? So what should we trust them about? Well? All the things? Well, like what, well, the science says you should not make your bed. Science says you should you should leave your bed unmade so that the sleep bacteria gets winded out of it. The science says, okay, I can see that. Science says you should vote Democrat. So
the science says, well, yeah, I read an article. It says that scientists say that Republicans are depressed. To me, was there an organic test for that? Well, I don't know. I'll just trust the scientists. That's scientism that you turned to scientists to make all decisions in life. The science says religion is a fancy of the week, says it's the opioids
of them. So that's scientism. Credentialism is this you say to somebody, well, why do you think that it's such a great idea to not check voter id Well, first of all, I should say that I'm a I'm a lawyer. Huh, that's cool, you're a lawyer. But that means what I asked you. Why you think that Credentialism is the ability to shut others up by saying I don't know how technical you are. That was a
thing back in Microsoft. I used to love this when I'd been given a field gender manageable title and had some juice as it were on product teams and at one time I was explaining why we needed a certain feature within a product and a guy said to me, well, I don't know how technical you are. I mean, I don't want to talk over your head. I do have a couple of degrees in computer science and engineering. I said, I don't know how much time you've spent in the media business, checkmate.
So dentialism can be meaningful if you actually have credentials that you put into play, that you can point at, say, my credentials have produced these fruits. It's almost like know them by their fruits. It's almost like the fruits of the spirit. It's almost like wisdom. Are they relying on their own? In many cases, they're not even relying on wisdom, man made or God inspired. They're simply relying upon the credentials. Credentialism allows you to do
things like this. If you're on the video service and you're watching this, this is Nate Hotchman. Nate's a smart guy. He's credentialed. No, actually, he's the guy pointing out how ridiculous this is. He doesn't need credentials because he's using common sense. This is the ap writing about not using the uppercase B in white but using it in black. Nate writes the apie Stibok justification for capitalizing black but not white is just as insane as you'd expect.
But these are credential journalists. Why we will lowercase white. This is John Denizwensky, vice President for Standards, in July twenty twenty twenty. AP's style will continue to lowercase the term white in racial, ethnic, and cultural senses. The decision followers are moved last month to capitalize black in such uses. We consulted with a wide variety of people internally and externally around the globe, and considered a variety of commentary in making these decisions. We agree that
white people's skin color plays in the systemic inequalities and injustices. Then we want our journalism to robustly explore those problems. But capitalizing the term white, as is done by white supremacists rests risk subtly conveying legitimacy to such beliefs. So
we'll go with black supremacy because we're credentialed. Incidentally, why do you think what they call white supremacists, Why do you think they've started to capitalize white because they want to pretend it's a race, just like you want to pretend black is a race. But they're very credentialed. I had a conversation during the credentialism of all credentialism, and this was during the height of the COVID
lockdowns. And I had a doctor say to me, and this was on Russian show, God Rush Rush Limbaugh, and thank you Rush for everything he did for me. And I took a call from a doctor and it so often went this way is we were talking about lockdown policy and my opinion that it was an utter and complete swindle and a scam. And he called up and said, Hey, Todd, I appreciate you filling in for Rush, love your stories about Seattle. We agree on a lot kind of disagree with
you on the lockdown stuff. And I should tell you in advance that I, uh, and they always do it this way that I well, I'm a I'm a doctor. And I just let that sit there for a second and I said, why why are you telling me that? Well, I just thought you should know. Oh, okay, Well, no, I think it's important because I'm coming at this from a credential point of view. Credentialed. Did you take classes on lockdownism in college? Well? No,
but it took courses on immunology. Okay, did they ever mention lockdowns? Well no, But I'm coming this at a perspective of someone who has, you know, a credential background and infectious diseases. Oh okay, well gaining those credentials, did you study lockdowns? Well no, But what I guess I'm saying is I'm coming at this from a perspective of someone whose job it is to protect society. Oh okay, that's your job to protect society by
studying lockdowns. Well okay. So here's what I wanted to say, though, is that there's there's reasons for this. What are they? Well, it's to protect society. Oh okay. Why are abortion facilities open? Well, that's a medical necessity for who. Well, I don't want to get into the specifics of abortion. Okay. Well, then why are strip clubs open? Well not, no, no, they are. They're in the state of Nevada. Strip clubs and casinos are open. In the state of
Washington. Pot shops are open, liquor stores are open, but churches are to be closed. Why is that? Well, that's not My greater point is that there's a reason for this. There's a reason. Okay, Well, I don't think that you're going to enough respect to my credentials here, I simply said, luck doctor. In terms of how to treat the human body for disease, in terms of how to look up which surgical process is required, in terms of discerning what might be causing some sort of illness,
I bow to your knowledge. But in terms of looking at something like a lockdown, I don't. Because there's history I can look at, and I can look at when we had the Spanish flu, and I can look and say, wow, that didn't work. When you could be held by gunpoint
in your house by the local sheriff, that didn't stop the disease. I can look at the note written by the guy who ran public health policy for the United States of America where he apologized forever putting people in face coverings because more people died of bacterial pneumonia than they ever died of the Spanish flu, that he apologized for doing that for lockdowns, I can read that history, can you. I didn't say I had a history degree. Okay, appreciate
the phone call credentialism. See it's a poison because it's weakness. It's the weakest possible way to argue well, do you know who I am? So let's get into what Chris Bray has done here and his inevitably brilliant style of writing. We'll get to that, and I want to get to some of his analysis about a new powerbroker in the state of California. This is the new Scott Wainder. But he has a very important credential. A. He's
black. B he's a social worker, sort of sort of haus. Chris dug into that as well, Chris Bray doing what Chris Bray does, going and exposing some empty credentialism in the state of California. Chris writes, Corey Jackson is the Junior Scout winner, a first termer in the California Assembly who's quickly made a name for himself by successfully five against hold on for a moment while I sigh heavily. I'll do it for you, Chris. The white
nationalistic far right and its fascist book bands. Yes, what this actually means is that assemblaman Jackson is cursuiting, crusading for eight year olds to get plenty of books at school about how to engage in I will not use the word Chris does oral satisfaction. Here's Jackson with California governor. So he goes through with this guy Jackson, and he is showing how very learned he is. He's here arguing against this book ban and he's with California governor, Governor Patrick
ba Or California Governor Patrick Bateman, No said California Governor. California's governor is caff dis m'd be getting all sort of Biden brain on this celebrating the signing of his anti book band built into law. Note that Jackson fumbles the very first of the few sentences he has to read into the camera. And that's applanning the responsibility of every generation to making sure that the rights go on for
the next generation to be able to enjoy. And today is a special day, and so I want to thank the governor for being able to make sure that we meet this moment in history. Well, I appreciate you and your
leadership. Remarkable that we're living in a country right now in this banning bitch, this cultural purge that we're experiencing all America now, increasingly here in the state of California, where we have school districts large and small, banning books, banning free speech and pers and we want to do more than just push back rhetorically against that. And that's what this legislation provides. It allows us to become the second state. Illinois did a version of this that goes in
effect in January. When I sign your bill will go in effect immediately in the state of California ban on book bands here in the state. This is long overdue and this banning binge has to come to an end. This banning budge for your leadership, and with the simple signature, we can make that happen. I'm grateful for your leaders Okay, So humor aside, here's the thing in my defense, I thought Chris screwed up saying Patrick. I don't
know who Patrick Bateman is. I'm utterly disconnected from pop culture. Patrick Bateman is a fictional character created by novelist Brett Deston. Ellis. Okay, I read that book American Psycho. I forgot the name. So that's what the inside joke from. Bray's actually calling the governor the American Psycho. But yeah, the guy stumbles the very first thing he's supposed to say, Chris Bray. The video makes me feel like George Gras a George Gross Penning again.
Why more America needs expression It's expressionist depiction of moral and intellectual decay. If anyone has the time, make the face really, really jagged and solemn. Now, if you doubt the blunt aggressiveness of Jackson's framing, here, he is inducing a bill in a clip that runs for less than a minute eighteen AB ten seventy eight. Thank you very much, mister chair and members of
the Committee. I would like to begin by stating that I will be accepting the Committee's amendments and thank the Committee for working with me on this measure. AB ten seventy eight is a bill that intends to combat the national Christian white supremacist movement, which is aimed to ban Book's school curriculum and even more in our schools, even more, even more, this issue is quite makes people uncomfortable. It's a tough discussion and it's a tough issue. So but he's
a social worker and he's going to say that. In further clips, here's how he's being portrayed in California. Corey Jackson on trackt to by California's first black capital b openly LGB so called TQ state lawmaker, the Paris Democrat could also become Riverside County's first B capital B black state legislator credentials. Now, incidentally, here's some of the ways that this career social worker is being framed
in California. Assemblymen Doctor Corey A. Jackson appointed as chair of Budget Subcommittee number two on Human Services. Now remind you budget subcommittee with a social workers background. Assemblyman doctor Corey A Doctor Corey A. Jackson to announce one million dollar state budget allocation to ie CF. At the State of the black Ie Symposium, some of themen, Doctor Corey Jackson makes request to widen investigation into
Riverside County Sheriff's correctional facilities. In his leadership, he is a social worker Ish Ish, so Chris dug into his backgrounds. Doctor Jackson graduated from CSU San Bernardino, where he received his degree in political science and served as a member of the CSO Board of Trustees and chair of the Santa Manuel Student Union Board of Directors. He is also a graduate of California Baptist University, where received his Master's in Social Work degree and a Doctor of Social Work degree.
Well, by the way, about that school, Apparently, as Chris found out, the doctor of Social Work program at California Baptist ranked one hundred and fourteenth nationwide among schools of social work is delivered through a flexible online modality. He's an internet social worker. Academic research is a public service, of course,
and so California Baptist puts his DSW dissertations online. You can download doctor Corey Jackson's dissertation Afrocentric Capacity to Building Building Agency in the African American Community runs to adaunting eighty pages, but non scholarship, we relieved to know that only fifty six pages of that is actual text of the thing. Let's take a look for a moment. We'll pause and hear more from doctor Jackson, and
then you'll hear his credentialed work that's outlined by the great Chris Bray. Thank you very much, mister speaker. You know, as a social worker, there we go. How important this bill is an online social worker, I can't tell you how important and how complicated the families of this state are.
Many of us come from communities in which has a large stigma when it comes to mental health, and when it's a professional that it would be necessary and certainly a professional person knows that they need a pause when a professional deems it necessary and a young person knows, Wait a minute, where are the credentials of the young person? Do parents have credentials? Here's my credential. My
daughter has been in my life for nineteen years. Here's my credential. I know when she started cutting herself and locking herself in a room for three weeks at a time, I knew something was wrong. Parents whose kids they've known for their entire life suddenly say hey, I'm not a girl. I'm a boy. They can go wait a minute, No, you're not because we saw you in the We saw you when he came out of the your mother, and you were a girl then, and you're a girl now. But
I'm a social worker. Parents don't have any credentials do support and what their family can give them. It is critical that they get the hope that they need. We can also not forget about various families within our state and throughout this nation who in many cases are not living in very safe environments, and in many cases these mental health issues originate from the family's situations. So this is not just something that we can continue with this talking points and this narrative
about parents' rights. Let's just talk about saving lives. The most utterly simplistic and silly thing credentialists do is take a position like that. So let's break down what he's actually talking about. He's talking about kids being able to sequester themselves into the hands of a glitter family to reparent them as their true,
authentic selves. Meaning born in the wrong body, meaning I will celebrate this with you, meaning that the mental illness signs of depression and anxiety are going to be solved by mutilating you, meaning parents have don't have the necessary credentials to be able to say no, no, it's not that they're born in the wrong body. They were raped, they were beaten. That we learned
this about them. The world's telling them of this. My daughter made this decision after five boys harassed her, after she saw porn for the first time, and a neighborhood boy said, no, watch this, it's cool. That's when she made the decision. No, that doesn't matter. You don't have the credentials for this. After all, I became a social worker by
going in an online school. Those are my credentials. So in a second you'll hear some of how doctor Corey Jackson created his no doubt brilliant thesis courtesy of the work of Chris Bray in California. There are parents who have a circumstance that many, many people would say, you don't have the credentials for this. Let's just give you an example. So, my friend John is
the dad of Alan and Alan soaps. So here's the conversation. John and his wife go in for an ultrasounds to a credential doctor and during the ultrasound, the doctor notices that there are very unique things about Alan's body. Alan is going to have a whole set of structural challenges, and that's come true. He's thirteen, He's been through about eighteen operations. The latest one was fusing some vertebras so he could walk more elegantly, more comfortably, I should
say. So, this credential doctor looks into the ultrasound and tells John and his wife, let's kill this thing, because as a doctor with credentials, I'm saying that thing is never going to have any quality of life. That thing should be killed. Where's John and his wife are saying? What that's our son? What are you talking about? You don't have that authority? God has that authority. God, by the way, God has credentials. He has a whole series of credentials, walking on water, creating the world,
conquering death, all those things. But you know no degree. So they say, we're going to make the decision. No, We're going to have this baby come to full term and raise this baby that is now Alan from Alan Soaps. He is the chief soap office there. He invents the soaps, he invents the fragrances based upon his memory. He's effectively nonverbal, but he's a brilliant kid. His mom could understand him, and when he has to speak, he has a tablet he can use. I've asked you
to examine the products with which you wash your body. Simply decide do I want to continue to buy it from them, or do I want the soaps from Alan's, which are all natural, made in America, absolutely gentle and made with the expertise of a family with three generations of soap making expertise. To me, the answer is very very clear. You also participate in something bigger than just having great soap. Allen and his brother Ian worked there,
and we want to employ two more kids with special needs. By the end of the year. You contribute to that by simply changing where you get your soap and the deliver it to your home. You can even subscribe so you never run out alansoaps dot com slash todd you get ten percent off everything there alansoaps dot com slash todd. Chris Bray looked into Corey Jackson's background and his
dissertation because he's a doctor. Here's what Chris writes, Doctor Jackson created a survey of nineteen questions, and he got twenty five members of local African American American community organizations to complete the survey. This is the dissertation that makes him a doctor. This is why he gets to say, well, I'm a doctor of social work. So for what questions like this about racial equity and
inclusion in Afrocentric community based participatory speech. To assess the RII development of participants, the question air asked if respondents felt very close in their ideas in thinking of the African American community, if respondents wanted to learn more about their African identity, and if the ACBPR process strengthened the African identity. Correspondents were asked to write those questions on a scale ranging from one very close to strongly agree
to four not at all close or strongly disagree. By asking these questions, the study intended to understand the extent to which respondents viewed ARII is important to their lives and to what extent this system is furthered their development of RII. So yeah, African Americans. Study participants said they favor racial equality and feel close to the African American community. Here's his conclusion. This is the dissertation
that makes him a doctor. Conclusion African Americans have experienced profound historical inequalities and social vulnerability that must be addressed due to systepic racism other forms of marginalization throughout American history. The African American Committee lacks the person and communal agency to necessarily
address these issues or these inequities. Through the ACBPR model, African American partnerships have identified the necessary capacity building components needed to build power that can transform their environment and biopsychological biosocial outcomes. I didn't want to finish it. This is a dissertation of a doctor in social work. Is there any social work in
this No? But that's how doctor Jackson, MSWDSW became doctor Jackson with that dissertation, and he gets to then speak in to meetings to say, well, well, I'm a social worker, so shut up. I'm a doctor, so put the mask on and shut up. I'm a journalist, so we're going to capitalize be but not black, so shut up. This is also how people perpetuate this scam. Figurehead Biden deciding to pretend that he has the authority to wipe out one point two billion dollars in student loan Dad,
is this going to make these things worse? Because people can go get their credentials and then not pay for their credentials, which all to often end up being empty. Credentials need more proof? How about the credential journalism of Stephanie rule? But what about this idea that wealth equals expertise in all fields? Is this a new phenomenon? No, it's complete fiction, a Stephanie. But you know, Bill Ackman doesn't think that, Elon Musk doesn't think that
Donald Trump doesn't think that. They think they're experts and everything, and they surround themselves with people who are generally speaking, don't tell them that they're wrong about these things, or they should just be quiet. So to be clear, MSNBC gleefully had Bill Gates on their program to talk about vaccines. They gleefully pretended he was an expert on vaccines. Why because he paid for that. They gleefully have Donnie Deutsche on. Donny Deutsch sits and proclaims his opinion
in all sorts of societal things, political and otherwise. Donny Deutsch is famous for what how did he get on that program? Donny Deutsch invented a very successful advertising agency, you know what, was called Deutsch. He sold it to one of the bigs. Donnie used his relationships with media because he placed a lot of media on MSNBC again on occasionally talk about advertising. Donnie's really good at it. He's clever, he's a good speaker, he's fun to
listen to. He's aggravating because he is a liberal, and he's completely unmoored from the word of God, not tapped into the vine at all. Therefore realizes fully in his own wisdom. But this is what MSNBC does. But it's a myth when it comes to Elon Musk and this conversation continued on MSNBC. William Cohen now in this conversation with credential journalist Stephanie Ruhl. And it's not only because you know, Twix allows them to do that. They've been
like this for a long time. I mean, you remember Bill Ackman in his herbal life fight. He put himself right at the center of that, got himself on CNBC in a big fight with Carl Icon. I mean, this is just a guy who likes the limelight and likes to be out there with his positions. And now you know, this platform X gives him, you know, unlimited amount of characters to do that, unfiltered by you. And I these people wait, wait, wait, unfiltered by you. Guys.
Wow, I'm so glad that you have the credentials to filter us field of expertise right right. And that's what's amazing to me. And they face no consequences for the idiotic things that they say that have nothing to do with electric cars or investing. So Elon Musk looks at the border which doesn't exist. We have no southern border, and Elon Musk goes, wow, we
don't have a southern border. And Elon Musk reads about the Mayor of New York handing out ten thousand dollars debit cards through a mobbed up fake bank, but it's minority owned. They're going to get the fifty three million dollars and make about seven million dollars for handing it out to illegal immigrants. We think since they don't have to perform they don't have to have getten any form of ID, they can simply have the debit cards and go spend it. And
Elon Musk looks at that and says, this is insane. We don't have a border. We're incentivizing this. We want more illegal immigrants, and it has nothing to do with electric cars. He doesn't have the credentials to do this. What credentials do you have to say? He doesn't have the credentials necessarily to speak about this, you can go talk to Let me go find
the least credentialed person I can find near me. Well, actually we're just in the TV studio and Christopher's doing the recorded Chris, he's credentialed in all things. All of us are credentialed to say. When you pay people to break the law and then you don't arrest him for breaking it, they're gonna do more of it. What credential do you have for that? Wisdom because I understand the sin problem, because I know that God didn't design us for
such things. Because I know you shall not steal, this sounds like thieving. I know that you should not take from workers their wages. You should pay them their wages. This sounds like stealing the wages of New Yorkers to give to people who broke the lot to get there. That seems wrong. I can look at patterns. If I go to enough people and say I will pay you one thousand dollars to steal my car since I want a new card, I want to go to insurance, eventually someone's gonna go, oh,
I'll steal your car for those bucks. We know this. There are things we know and we don't need credentials to know. Credentialism also allows us to relax into just absolute falsehoods. So let me ask you a question. Is there a social security lock box? Remember when Algory used to talk about the lock box? Does that exist? Is there a social security fund? No? Is there a fund? When a fund is bankrupt and you are now in a situation where it takes about twenty five working people to pay for
the retirement of one retiree, is that sustainable. Does that sound like a pyramid scheme to you? In certainly, I'm not blaming the retirees other than people have continued to vote for people who pretend we have a Social Security fund? Do we have a federal reserve? No? Is chat GPT or a rather open API? The company that makes chet GPT? Is it worth eighty billion dollars? They say, so, they're letting their employees sell stock at
that level. What are their revenues? They're not really clear on that. Does it make sense to purchase stock because other people are purchasing the stock? No? That sounds a lot like if your friends stuck a stick in their eye, would you do it? Yeah, it's very popular. Mom. All the kids are sticking sticks in their eyes when you're doing the because other kids stick their stick in their eyes. Retirement plan. That might work for
a while, but what about when rationality comes back? If your portfolio five, ten, fifteen years from retirement is plugged in where forty percent of your money is going to five companies, can I tell you that's not risk management? If you've bought open API and you're up at this level and you're investing in this and great, get out or just buy and hold to what well the system are credentialed people have set up? Oh, I prefer to go
with the truth teller. I use Capital Management. My friend Zach Abraham is the chief investment officer there. You see him here.

all sorts of fields. Glenn Greenwald made a fascinating comment about CNN CNN. He said, how does CNN not know that this plot to kidnap or assassinate Juliana Shan by the CIA, who was reported several years ago by Michael Isikoffen team and then he links to it. But remember CNN their credential journalists. What is Assinger's argument for not being extradited to the US. There are several.
One of them, at the most basic level, is that he has some mental health issues and a concern that he may take his life if he's moved to the US to face trial. Another is that this is politically motivated. He was just a journalist doing his job, so it would breach his human rights if he was transferred to the US. Quite extraordinary claim now coming in just in the last hour or so that his lawyers are presented to the court. Obviously we need to investigate this further. But this is all presented
in open court. According to Assange's lawyer, there is compelling evidence now in existence that senior CIA and US administration officials requested a detailed set of plans and drawings of the embassy, the ecuador In embassy or remember he was holed up in for all of that time. And they are suggesting the President Trump at the time himself requested options and sketches were even drawn up. When we're talking about options, the legal team is basically suggesting that there was evidence of a
CIA plot to kidnap or assassinate Julian Assange. These are extraordinary claims. Well, there are a lot of new details coming out. Again, those accusations have to be verified and looked through. New claims. Oh, but they're not new, they're several years old. Glenn Greenwald points it out now. But Glenn is no longer a credential journalist. He's not. He no longer
works at the Intercept, the publication he co founded. He got kicked out why because he wrote a piece criticizing the media for hiding the Hunter Biden story. So they took his credentials. But what's his body of work? No one has written more and more than more correct about the US intelligent services global intelligent services than Glenn Greenwald. After all, he's broke story after story that has changed all of our knowledge about what the intelligent services do and mean.
Now, I'm not a doctor, so I have do not have the credentials to say it might not be a good idea to work with China to make bird flus more infectious, but you are don't worry. These are credentialed scientists who are working with the Chinese Communist Party to make bird flus more infectious because that's what the credential people said is a good idea, and after all, they're doctors and scientists. Credentialism sometimes completely empty, as in the case of
doctor Jackson. There's no actual credential not when your dissertation was a survey of twenty five groups puffed up into sixty pages of racial harassment of white people. That's what it is. Sometimes the credentials are real, but so is the ego. As we'll learned today in the video of the Day, I told you about this. Those of you who are on the video service, you're going to see some kids. They look like eleven year old girls. It's
that the greatest video quality. But we did what we could, so's pay special attention to this. If you're not yet on the video service, you can get there by going to video dot the Todd Herman Show dot com. Doing While my mom is meeting with the woman in her mom's group, I'm
gonna be hanging out with their daughters. Oh don't die. No. Jazz to me is such an inspiration because like, growing up, I didn't really have like an advocate when that I look to like as a transgender like role model, and happy bad Jazz is sharing what happened to her and her complications because she has been so honest with everyone for so long, Like why hy this? Okay? So when are you getting your surgery? About a year
from now? What about you, Charlie. So I'm looking to do my surgery probably after I graduate high school because school is just really hard, Like people were like bullying me, Like people will call me and like threaten me. So it's just a lot right now to like tackle on all that and then like a surgery on top of it. You guys know that I've just got my surgery. How are you feeling? So this is an older video because Jazz did not just get his surgery, and Jazz also at that point
is not sixty pounds heavier. Bad things happen when you flood a male body with estrogen. Jazz is also apparently desperately pressed. But the boys dressed like girls. There. They's seventeen and fifteen and they look eleven. The credentialed experts have told us that puberty blockers are reversible. Puberty is not just about genitalia. It's about intellect. Your mind grows during that period of time. But the credentialed experts have told us that's not important. The credentialed experts have
told us that puberty is a disease. They've told that to mothers like this, you're starting the process and she just wants a vagina right now. She's blocked early off. So yes, yeah, this is like the new wave of kid Yeah, oh oh wow. The network of moms has been everything. You don't feel as alone. You have a level of confidence in your
decisions when you have this tribe. Oh this is the perfect time for jo Oh yes, but I have to be you know, straightfor and honest that I am very afraid and nervous and scared about Nicole having a surgery next year. So how's your daughter doing? Those are women enjoying cocktails. They look like Manhattan's, by the way, very tasty. Understand it's good with pasta.
I don't eat pasta. I don't rink Manhattans slurping on the alcohol juice as they're talking about having an eighteen inch gash sliced between the legs of their son, their testicles removed, thrown away, by the way, the skin of the testicle then inverted and made into a fake labia. The lining of that wound is often filled with intestinal tissue, and funny thing, the intestinal tissue stinks. It's not a self lubricating wound. It's not self cleaning.
That's the miraculous thing about the female body, well many miraculous things. God designed the vagina to be self lubricating and self cleaning. Not so an eighteen inch wound which is going to get infected time and time again. And as you probably know, those boys will have to insert a wedge shaped like an axe into that wound for the rest of their lives lest it close up. Because it's just that it's a wound. But I'm not a doctor. Who
am I to say that's a bad idea? Who am I to say the Hippocratic Code was a good idea first, you know, harm Father God, please please please have mercy in a nation that's turned itself from You into empty credentialism instead of fearing You, which is the beginning of true wisdom. This is the Todd Hermannshaw. Please go, be well, be strong, be kind, and please make every to be right with God. H
