Welcome to the Three Stories version of The Todd Herman Show. Story number one the dumbing down of feminized American boys and some good news on that front. Story number two, Joe Biden wants to fistfight Jake Tapper. Has Jake said anything about this since he's had his epiphany? And story number three a Christian musician Brandon Lake kind of sounds like he wants to pander to the bubbas. We'll talk about this with the help of renewed dot Healthcare ends ourminder.
We can't do anything that really matters without God, Almighty, Thank you Lord.

Todd Herman. Today is the day the Lord has made, and these are the times to which God has decided we shall live. I think we can probably all agree that there is an effort to feminize American boys. There is an effort on the food front to make sure that they don't eat enough protein and they don't get enough testosterone. And we've been seeing the poison fruits of that for years. There's an effort to feminize them and
their behaviors at school. That's boys are to sit in desks and be comfortable sitting down all day and not going out and having physical activity. And boys and girls are different, and boys need that activity. Of course, there's the combat sport things we can't do that got to play soccer instead of football, We can't have your wrestling, etc. We're also seeing it in how boys are supposed to interact in a Christian sense, which is the eternal sense,
which is the important sense. Men are to be the spiritual leaders of their home, so long as men are taking their direction from Christ Jesus. If they're not doing that, then they're not being spiritual leaders. And in that regard, women are to follow their husbands as if they're following Christ, because the husband's supposed to be following Christ. And that's so tough for millennial girls to hear, or for even slightly older women. I think it's a tough thing for
all women. And then we're both to come under each other and lift up. That's men, not boys, but boys of course become men. There is now an efforts and this has been going on for some time, but it's accelerating, and it's being done under the guise of equity to dumb down boys who've been feminized. And this is going across cities like San Francisco. Same thing has gone on in the separate country of Seattle. We'll talk about that
in a second. This matters because if we're going to have a society that can protect itself, you need to have someone who is intellectually hefty and people who are capable of being physically haffy. Now there's good news here. I'll get to that in a second. And the good news is coming from the one source that always brings good news. My friend Justin Hart posted this on Twitter.
Justin came to fame during COVID as one of the rational people on that topic, and he lives in California and said that San Francisco just redefined a c as forty one percent. Plato warned this would happen, Juvenal wrote poems about it. The Eloy lived it. When you lower the mountain for kids, don't be shocked when they can't climb anything at all, Well said Justin, here's what's going on.
This is from the voice in San Francisco, without seeking approval of the San Francisco Board of Education Superintendent of Schools Maria Sue, plans to unveil a new Grading for Equity plan on Tuesday that will go into effect this fall at fourteen high schools and covered over ten thousand students. The school district is already negotiating with an outside consultant to train teachers in August in a system that awards a passing C grade to as low a score as
four forty one percent on one hundred point exam. Grading for Equity eliminates homework or weekly tests from being counted in the student's final semester grade. All that matters is how the students score on a final examination, which can be taken multiple times. Students can be latering in an assignment, or showing up to class, or not showing up at
all without affecting their academic grade. Currently, a student needs a ninety four and A and at least sixty one for a D under the San Leandro Unified School Districts Grading for Equity system touted by the San Francisco Unified School District and its consultants, A student who gets less than that goes on They did the same thing in the separate country of Sattle where they banned AP courses advanced placement courses because it turns out that they were
being peopled with the wrong people. Too many Asians were in advanced placement, too many white people in advanced placements, and the bipocs weren't getting into device into the advanced platesment classes, so they banned them. Now we've been dumbing people down for decades. This is an actual efforts that began long ago to create people who were workers. It used to be that school was about creating thinkers and people who could debate and reason, and that's what had
been the plan for schools for decades forever. If you look at the Latin based learning systems, that was all about you being able to look at any words and suss out what it means. You look at the rhetoric that people were taught, and the debate tactics they were taught, and the history they were taught, all of that came together. There's a teaching method called the tranmvrant and a lot of homeschoolers use this and it maps to where kids' minds are, so they work on memorization early on. Then
that memorization becomes meaning fasciut with language. They begin then to insert literature into this and the debate, and they do this all at the right time for the kids' minds to take this on. Now, when people came along and said, wait, we don't need thinkers, we need people who can stand in a factory at day and put things together, then this began to change. But now this is shifting gears into this something else. It's not people that can think. It's not workers, it's people who need.
They're creating people who need. If you've never been taught to show up on time, you can't have job success one on one, because no one keeps a job if they can't show up on time unless the rules change. And the rules are changing. There are states like these, separate countries that have passed laws that you don't have to show up for work for a period of time and you can't be fired. You don't have to call in,
you don't have to tell your boss. You just cannot show up for a period of days, and your boss is not add to fire you or hire someone in your place. So the change that's happening in the schools is being replicated in the workplace to create people who need to make businesses into welfare centers. Now, this was in San Francisco. This has also happened in the separate country of Washington State, and I happened to be familiar with this guy in this video. His name is Chris Rakedall.
So Chris Rakedahl was asked about the abysmal test scores in the separate country of Washington and he had this response. So, let me just go back to what the Sale time said. Thirty five percent of low income kids in Washington are reading at grade level, thirty five percent of low income kids even fewer can handle math.
Fifty four percent of kids who get a two, which most of the media says is failing because they don't understand psychometrics. But again, you got to look at the larger context and understand that the school system we went to is very different than the one that kids are going to today. So I want to keep preparing kids for what they need, not what we thought was the gold standard. So they're taking the rigorous coursework at levels
we've never seen before. But we've introduced this test in the last two decades, and we drew a line and said everyone who doesn't get to that line as a failure. I think it's damaging and there's a better sense.
So would you ditch the tests?
I would ditch the test in a harpy to federally mandate test. But we're still going to need assessment.
So when he's talking about the rigorous class work, he's lying. There is no rigorous class work in the separate country of Washington State. When you're seeing the results of the testing, nothing's rigorous. When you don't even had advanced placement courses because it hurt the feelings of some people, nothing can be rigorous. And if you look at the results of kids who are leaving these government schools compared to kids leaving homeschool, you look at a shocking and dramatic difference.
Kids who leave homeschool are better prepared for college. They're better prepared for work than many of these government schools because the government schools are not teaching them any longer to be workers. They're teaching them to be needers. When God gave us families, he gave men a unique position, and this makes people feel uncomfortable. The Bible addresses fathers saying do not exasperate your children, but teach what is
right and bring them in what is right. There is to bring them up in the word of God and write it on the doorstops of your home, et cetera. And of course he addresses the family unit, and he addresses kids. Obey your parents so that you live long in the land. That's the first commandment with a promise. If you obey your parents, you will live long in the land. So there is a comeback. Jesus Christ is the greatest comeback story in history, and it is him
who's leading young men back. And this is sometimes to the frustration of Hollywood. There's a movie that just frustrates the heck out of Hollywood because they couldn't see it coming. It's called King of Kings. And this thing was giggled at. It did better than that stinking snow white movie by a long shot. It dominated some theaters. It's a cool story.
It's animated. My wife and I watched it and loved it. Actually, so the guy who plays Charles Dickens in this he's reading a work or is based on a work that Dickens created called Life of Our Lord. It's the Life of Jesus Christ. And he is doing this on stage and is rambunctious and I think pretty obnoxious. Little boys there playing King Arthur. And that's the sword he carries, this little boy King Arthur. Now you off with their heads,
et cetera. That sword, by the end of the movie becomes trash to the boy because the boy interacts with Jesus Christ in his mind is his father. One of the greatest storytellers in history, Charles Dickens talks about the life of Our Lord. This is something you should see with your family, but you can't well unless you listen to this, and I'm going to give you something else.

Do you know this apologist named Wesley Huff Christian apologists who explains the faith to people. He has some great news. Jesus Christ, the King of comebacks, is coming back, and he's coming back in culture.
Jill Rogan and I have had on and off communication since then. I can tell you for a fact that he is attending a church and that that has been a consistent thing. We're seeing what I don't think is an exaggeration to say, somewhat of a resurgence in interest in these topics that we've been talking about, even the nitty gritty. We had someone who reached out to us recently at Apologetics Canada, who is probably the last bricks
and mortar Christian bookstore that I've ever heard of. But they said, we have people walking through our doors asking young people, teenagers, saying I want a Bible. All my friends are reading this.
We've seen the same thing on our YouTube channel. We've seen young men. We've seen the phrase Jesus Christ being one of the top search phrases on all of YouTube. Praise God, we're also seeing politicians finally speaking the name of Jesus. This is Josh Holly.
It's the idol. It's the version of this idol that says to be a real man. True manhood consists in doing whatever you want, whenever we want, to whomever you want, no matter the cost. The truth is Jesus Christ was the strongest man who ever lived, and he led a life of sacrifice. This is a false idol, and you know it is because there's no cost to it. True manhood has cost. It costs you something. True manhood is the denial of self. It is a war on sin.
It is sacrifice for other people. That's what it means to be a man after the pattern of Jesus Christ, Christ.
God, and thank you, senator. And you can look at this as a body. Being weak, fat and out of shape is hard. Being focused in shape and muscular is hard. Choose your heart. Being lost without direction, divorce after divorce is hard. Working through tough spots in marriage is hard. So choose your heart, my giant advice, choose Christian pain and become a real man. Story number two. You know
the epiphany that Jake Tapper's had, this massive epiphany. Jake got blessed some hat that they got fooled by the Bidens and the people who ran Joe Biden. Has that delivered any real change to Jake? Has he changed his behavior? He's on this never ending book tour about this best selling book, which is certainly going to be made into a movie. Jake and Alex Thompson are gonna make tons of money off this. We've talked about this as a
wash and replace piece for the Mockingbird media. They can pretend, oh, we were fooled, that wasn't us, We weren't participating in all this. The more we learned about what went on, there is reason to thank them for some of the details in the book. But have they truly changed their behavior? I don't think so. Because Joe Biden just said that he wants to fistfight Jake Tapper effectively. I haven't seen
Jake Tapper respond to this at all. And it's not the first time Biden's gone out and done something like this. This is from the Daily Mail. Joe Biden got lost in his own closet at the White House while staff
hid a mental decline. Former President No, he wasn't, he was figurehead Joe Biden got lost in his own closet to the White House a secret service whistle ble orclaimed to mega Senator Josh Hawley, the Missouri Republican showed the intel of Fox News is Sean Hannity Friday, adding to the ongoing speculation that Biden's administration was working to cover
up his declining mental state. Speculation, speculation, speculation. So when you see Biden go out and not just be mentally incompetent, but mocking and physically mocking that same thing he used to do in the campaign trail, shut up fat, Let's have a punk push up contest. Remember that you remember what he threatened to take a retired marine who was working as an automotive mechannic or not working on the production line. He threatened to take him into the parking
lot and beat him up. So I'm going to show you this instance of what he said, and then we'll see if you can find anything. Jake Tapper said to respond to this, because the whole thing reeks of corruption. We're living through an era where financial coruption is either going to get super attacked and really dealt with, or it's going to blossom into ten thousand poisonous poisonous plans. You have to retire in either case. In either case, and if you're in a buy and hold position, you
got to explain to me how that works. Buy and hold, no matter what happens, if you're five, ten, fifteen years from retirement, how does that actually work in this era of corruption, It's so important that you get a second opinion in a retirement. Consider this a department of retirement efficiency. My friend Zach Abraham, the chief investment offs are capital management. Will get with the phone on you, meet with you in person and video call whatever you want, you and
your spouse or it's just you. Whatever. He will look for any hidden risk that he can see in your portfolio. He'll look for hidden costs, ways that he can lower costs, which means more money in your retirement account. He'll look to maximize upside potential. And in a quick series of three meetings, he'll arrive at a point where he will put in front of you a proposal on how he might change your retirement. Now, by the way, if when he looks into what you've done and your set, he
will tell you, congratulations, don't change anything. You don't need me, you got a rockstar advisor, or you're doing well on your own, So schedule your free Know your Risk portfolio review.

And there's also been a lot of discussion recently about your mental and physical capabilities while you were in office.
You can see that mentally incompetent get watched and I can jeep the hell out.
Over do you want to reply to any of those reports?
And also for fact that there are some Democrats who are now questioning whether you should have run for reelection in the first.
People. If you're watching the video, do you see that creepy old man leaning into that girl's face. That's behavior that in some parts of the country, like where I live in North, Idaho. That'll get your slap upside the noggin, and Joe Biden would find out right away how tough he's not. I can beat the h out of both of them. Talking about Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper. Jake has yet to respond to this. This is normal behavior.
I thought the press was under attack, but Jake continues to reflect upon his coverage of Biden's mental decline.
I wish we had broke I wish these two hundred sources had talked to us two years ago, and I wish I'd known what I know now. I would not say I was incurious. I would say that I was one of the many people who was asking about this and was lied to over and over and over. And it wasn't just You have to remember the Biden people were not only lying to the press, and they were not only lying to the public. They were lying to donors, they were lying to their cabinet secretaries, they were lying
to Democratic members of Congress. At the end of the day, the Democrats did this. At the end of the day, the Biden family and the polyp euro did this. And yes, there were those of us who should have pushed back more. But if you can't get any official to tell you it's really bad behind the scenes, let me tell you how bad it is. I don't know what more we could have done.
You could have said, he can't remember his name, he can't remember that he was president. He thinks he's fine president. He thinks Kamala Harris's president. He thinks his son was the Attorney General of the United States of America. He thinks his son died in combat. And he thinks that he grew up as a young man driving an eighteen wheeler and was also a better quarterback than Roger Staubach. Just start there, Jake. Story number three. There's a Christian
musician I quite like. His name is Brandon Lake. I didn't know he was full on yoked, and he is full on yoked. He was talking on a podcast about Christian music and some of the challenges with Christian music and specifically worship music. And this is a very small clip. It's unfair to judge a man I'm based on the small clip, But in this I have a great feeling of hurt because I fear the creeping in of elitism.
It's a phrase he uses, and it's a phrase that's pointed at friends of mine because I live in North Idaho and I live around a lot of guys who are in the construction business. They're in the concrete mixing and laying business. They're in the logging business. They're in the farming and ranching business. So in the words, they're due to work with their hands. Ell and by the way, having done all that, most of them are multimillionaires. Most
of them don't have to work anymore. A lot of them are in the PayPal checking business, the account checking business, because they've taken their lands and turned them into other people to use. They're very successful men, but they're a word apparently to Brandon Lake. Now, I fully believe his heart is in the right place because he wants to reach people for Jesus through music and through worship music.
But I want you to tell me right, hit me up in the comet section wherever you're at, and tell me do you think this guy has the Reek of Pride in this? And if I have the Reek of pride sake, tell me I'll show you this in just a second. I'm can I say proud. I am happy. I am happy to be able to recommend a healthcare provider that truly provides healthcare, and they provide it in comparison to some really awful things that go on in
the States. For instance, aesthetics. I know people who are using botox or they want to do you know what that is. That's a cow toxin that people put it in their face to paralyze their nerves so they don't look like they have wrinkles. If you could instead have stem cells from umbilical cords that actually revitalize your skin, actually do away with the wrinkles by revitalizing your skin. Would you choose that or would you choose the cow toxin. There are men who struggle with eed. It's not a
fun topic. There's all sorts of things you can use. There's surgery, there's pumps, there's drugs. If you could have that part of your body revitalized with stem cells from umbilical cords that go through some of the most rigorous procedures of screening in the world. Renew rejects eighty percent of the stem cells they get from umbilical cords, and
they control the production process end to end. Do you choose the drugs of the surgery or the stem cells and then there's this, do you choose to go through a surgery, say a lower back surgery that often requires follow up surgeries, or would you rather go down and do what I did, which just have stem cells injected in your back. There's a reason that this can't happen the United States because they have such control over the stem cells they use that they can reject eighty percent
of them. That's not the case in the States. They can't even manipulate the cells in the States. So I am happy to share this. In fact, I'm headed down with two of my best friends from Idaho and one of my brothers and one of the big big backers of this podcast. He's a business partner. You think I'm gonna go down and recommend read new to them risk that friendships and brotherships, brotherhood, No way, go check them out. It's renew r E and you E dot Healthcare. It's
our E and you E dot Healthcare. Please tell them you're part of the Todd Hermanshaw family. So this is Brandon Lake again. It's a quick clip. I'm just curious if you get from this the whiff of arrogance.
Last thing I'll say is like I'd love to see more worship sets, more churches, like kind of keep Bubba in mind. Yeah, Like we call him Bubba, the guy who's like in the back of the room and he's like he got dragged there by his wife.
Yeah, yep.
And I just don't know if like when you're opening song or the most of your songs, I have so much Christian Eese language. Yeah, I think he has a hard time going like can I sing that?
Like I'm not there yet.
I think he hears a hard fight and I'm not I'm not saying hard fight is the answer, but like I love like like when your first song is like Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of God Almighty, I think he's going like what does holy mean?
Yeah? Holy crap?
Like what like I don't you know, Like I don't know. Obviously, That's where we want to get to in a worship set, is where it's just every eye is fixated on him, right, and it's just like everyone it's like vertical. But like, give Bubba some language he can be like all right, I find myself in that song. I feel like that, you know, and and hopefully that's what some of my music can continue to do.
I just I don't like the name calling. We say immature Christian because at some point all of us are immature Christians, or we'll say baby Christians or adolescent Christians and eventually become an adult Christian or a leader of leaders and eventually become a spiritual parent. And I just find that far different than the bubbas. And instantly, the bubba's at the back of the room, I'm here to tell you, I tend the world would call a megachurch, and the bubba's at the back of the room have
memorized scripture. There's sometimes the ones bringing their wives there, and it's yes, more common for women to drag men in, but this is happening as well. And if you can't count on a bubba to walk into church and to be confronted with the majesty of God Almighty and to hear a phrase like holy, Holy, Holy, and know that he can go on the magic Google machine and say
what does holy mean? Or ask his wife, then maybe you're not in a church that's that welcoming any other way, because a good church will explain terms like that, a good pastor will welcome newcomers, a good pastor will try to make sure he is not using tons of Christianese. Maybe it's just the phrase bubba that bugs me. Incidentally, he mentioned the song hard Fought, and he said that that might be the solution. The saying is not necessarily, but that's his song and this is part of it.
And if you're not a fan of Christian music, you'd probably not heard this. And there's the reason that Brandon Lake's a successful normise fee.
Yeah, but that's when I need it the most. So I'm gonna keep on sing you my soul kitches up with my song.
I think the dude knows more about Christian music than me.
Times when my hands go of free, times out of course, and there's days when a praise comes out east, days when it takes all.
This strength dot got.
I'll bring my.
Heart fought heart phil Pits to Hell.
Highly. It's funny I never dug this song until now.
Honestly, bring my storm, tossil store rings tale.
Holly, Okay, so we can bring that down. Let's just say to this, Brandon, do the Bubbaus know what hallelujah means? God You've been patient, God, You've been gracious? Do they know what hallelujah means? Brother? Please trust? Please, that when the bubbas as you call them as you call my friends. When the bubbas get in and they see people singing and they want to know what holy means, they can go find it. And sometimes they don't need to know
because the Spirit of Christ is there. The Holy Spirit is there, and when the Spirit calls, and when God decides, you're one of the ones he's going to call. And when God reaches to you, the call is unavoidable and you can be drawn in in that moment and your heart can be changed, and that music can help, and the details can come later. I don't know what holy means, but I love the feeling. I don't know what lujah means in your song, but I'm going to go to it.
I don't know when you say gracious, I don't know how God can be gracious, because he's a living God. I didn't know any of that, but I felt it. And when the altar call came, I couldn't believe. I stood up and walked forward. How many times have you heard that story? The altar call came. If you want to give your life to Christ today, I've heard story after story from men who said I couldn't believe it. All this sudden. I was walking up there and I
didn't intend to. I've seen this and heard about it in marriages, where the husband walks up and the wife says, what are you doing? I'm giving my life to Christ. I know this. I have a friend who's a great Christian brother, a Bubba. His wife walked up to the altar call and he was upset. You didn't asked me about that, She said, I'm not asking anybody. This is the Lord and the change he saw in her drew him into the faith, and now he can go and
go scripture toe to toe with anybody. So please, let's not pander to the bubbas. And please, please, Brandon Lake, I beg you with all your success and all the talent God's gifted you in this heart you have for the Lord Jesus, which is so so bad, beautiful. Please trust God to know how to reach the bubbas, because He made the Bubbas and it was good. This is the Todd Hermannshaw. Please go, be well, be strong, be kind, and please make every effort to walk in the light of Christ.
