1. 0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
2. 0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
3. 0:07This is the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
4. 0:11It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
5. 0:15Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
6. 0:18And the philosophies of this world.
7. 0:20God has called you and me to be His ambassador.
8. 0:24Even in this dark moment.
9. 0:26Let's not miss our moment.
10. 0:28And now, the Hamilton Corner.
11. 0:31Good evening, everybody.
12. 0:34Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio.
13. 0:37I am your host, Abraham Hamilton III.
14. 0:40Joined by the corner contingent today right across from me,
15. 0:43producer extraordinaire.
16. 0:44He's made the bold move to step out of the shadows
17. 0:47of the screening room.
18. 0:49He's taking the risk to be in the line of sight
19. 0:54and in the line of fire.
20. 0:57It's a real Jay Mac, ladies and gentlemen,
21. 0:59produced extraordinary often imitated but never ever ever ever ever duplicated and
22. 1:04in the screening room today we are graced with the presence of the ever lean and
23. 1:10mean and always pristine you know his name is cold green ladies and gentlemen
24. 1:14yes indeed he is in the screening room helping us bring to you the broadcast
25. 1:21video component of the program but you can see this face often shiny and greasy
26. 1:27before head.
27. 1:28Heh.
28. 1:29Ain't too greasy today though.
29. 1:31Ain't too greasy today.
30. 1:32The cold is like, man this man is ripping himself.
31. 1:34Yes.
32. 1:36Boy, head is greasy at times.
33. 1:37Cold, what do you want me to do about it?
34. 1:38That is where it is.
35. 1:39The little game you skin that's a little oily.
36. 1:41Heh.
37. 1:43Well, we're ready to rock and roll with today's edition
38. 1:45of the program.
39. 1:46So much is happening.
40. 1:47Oh man, in the world, I know there's a lot of other
41. 1:49headlines domestically, but a major, major, major strike
42. 1:55by Israel was conducted in multiple places
43. 1:59the exact same time. You had the this just by way of announcement, we'll talk about this
44. 2:05later. The program goes on, but you have the Hamas leader Ismail Hania, who was terminated
45. 2:14in Tehran inside of Iran's capital yesterday at the same time within a two hour span in Lebanon,
46. 2:25Lebanon, Hezbollah, commander, Fuad Shukar was also terminated.
47. 2:30Israel has not taken credit for it publicly, but reports indicate this is at Israel's execution
48. 2:42in fulfilling what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he is seeking to root out
49. 2:48and destroy Hamas.
50. 2:50You also have an Iranian Revolutionary Guard leader who was struck inside of Syria.
51. 2:57So you have this happening, particularly the Ismael Hania and Fuhad Shakur within the matter
52. 3:07of hours in separate places is interesting that it happened.
53. 3:12Nevertheless, at this very moment, many of you, that most of you are making your transition
54. 3:16from your part-time jobs where you generate an income to your full-time jobs where you
55. 3:20cultivate an outcome. And as you do so, I want to encourage you to do so with
56. 3:24intentionality, with an urgency, with a fervor, with an understanding of the times
57. 3:30that we are in, Lord, guys ready and not, we are here. We are here. We are living in
58. 3:35Bible days, the things we read about, we are living in them. You look at what's
59. 3:39happening in Venezuela, which if we do not change course, Venezuela is
60. 3:47instructive as to where America is going.
61. 3:51We have the opportunity to change course,
62. 3:54but we must change course.
63. 3:56And when I'm saying change course,
64. 3:58I'm not just talking about a willful political,
65. 4:02socio-political action.
66. 4:03I'm talking about a course change,
67. 4:05that is the byproduct of repentance.
68. 4:08We need to understand.
69. 4:11You remember this song?
70. 4:12Ain't no mountain high enough.
71. 4:15Listen, ain't no country big enough to hop box with God.
72. 4:19Ain't no country wide enough.
73. 4:23If we as a nation are intent on pursuing the course of rebellion,
74. 4:29we will eat the rotten fruit of that rebellion.
75. 4:35The way to turn that is by appealing to the hearts and minds of the citizenry,
76. 4:46anchored by the proclamation of the gospel, making disciples.
77. 4:51People say, oh, America's changed. No, no, no, no.
78. 4:53America has not changed.
79. 4:56The people in America.
80. 4:59America is not this disembodied entity.
81. 5:01America is comprised of people.
82. 5:04The preferences, the ideas, the values, the priorities
83. 5:10of the American people have run far field
84. 5:16from what God would have us to be as a people, as a nation.
85. 5:20The only way to reverse course is through repentance.
86. 5:23So as you make your transition today,
87. 5:25make it your business, that your home will be an altar of incense, a modern altar of incense
88. 5:31to where the presence of the Lord is not only acknowledged where the Lord is glorified,
89. 5:38where we worship Him in our homes, where the gospel is proclaimed in our homes.
90. 5:44And we commit ourselves to the disciple making mandate starting right in our homes.
91. 5:49And then we work outwardly from there.
92. 5:52We need to add to our commitment to worshiping with our families a time to will we do or knock
93. 5:57our own neighborhoods, invite our neighbors over, spend time with them in one heart, one
94. 6:09mind at a time. We do the will of our Lord. To the word of God, we go 2 Samuel chapter 11.
95. 6:16Second Samuel chapter 11 is where I want to go. This is a very infamous passage of scripture
96. 6:27where details David taking Bathsheba, the Hebrew word indicates that, taking Bathsheba. But
97. 6:36There are things that transpire prior to that,
98. 6:38that if we're not careful, we could speed by them
99. 6:40and miss some of the warnings
100. 6:42that God has given us in his word.
101. 6:43The word of God is filled with prescriptive,
102. 6:48I'm sorry, prescriptive things, meaning things
103. 6:51that God has prescribed for all men to emulate,
104. 6:55to internalize and to replicate.
105. 6:58There are also things that God has included in his word
106. 7:02that are just descriptive.
107. 7:03He's just illustrating what has happened.
108. 7:05He's not saying you need to repeat this.
109. 7:07In fact, he illustrates it so that you do not repeat it.
110. 7:11There are illustrative warnings that are included there.
111. 7:15We must be wise in understanding a proper division
112. 7:20and right division of the Lord's word
113. 7:21to understand which is which and what is what.
114. 7:25Second Samuel chapter 10 begins with an ominous,
115. 7:29ominous transition point in the story of David
116. 7:33as king of the unified nation of Israel.
117. 7:37I would remind you that when Samuel warned the Israelites
118. 7:41against getting a king, one of the things that he warned them,
119. 7:45and this is in first Sammy chapter eight,
120. 7:46I'm not gonna read that, I'm just gonna refer to it.
121. 7:47First Sammy chapter eight verse 20,
122. 7:49one of the things that the people said is that
123. 7:51we want our king to go before us in battle.
124. 7:54So one of the things they wanted a king,
125. 7:56like all the other nations,
126. 7:57is that the king would be the chief warrior, yay.
127. 8:01Then we come to second Sammy chapter 11,
128. 8:02and this is how the passage begins.
129. 8:05But then it happened in the spring.
130. 8:09At the time when kings go out to battle,
131. 8:12that David sent Joe Abman as servants with him in all Israel.
132. 8:16And they destroyed the sons of Ammon and Beseed Raba.
133. 8:19But David stayed at Jerusalem.
134. 8:23Verse two, now when evening came, David arose from his bed and walked around on the roof
135. 8:30of the king's house.
136. 8:31And from the roof he saw a woman bathing and the woman was very beautiful in appearance.
137. 8:36two seminal portions of the text that should be like,
138. 8:43a-ing, warning, warning, warning, warning,
139. 8:46to us as we read through.
140. 8:47First, then it happened in the spring,
141. 8:50letting us know the time of year,
142. 8:53at the time when kings go out to battle.
143. 8:56So this is something that had to become customary,
144. 8:57of all kinds of things, typography, weather,
145. 9:00and other things that are happening.
146. 9:03We could talk about that another time,
147. 9:05because a lot of those details are not purnt
148. 9:08the conversation we're having now. At the time, Kings are supposed to go out to battle. David,
149. 9:14who arose to the monarchy as what is the backdrop, him being a warrior, slaying Goliath.
150. 9:26Songs historically were saying about David. Saul is laying his thousands. David is tens of thousands.
151. 9:30You get all of this. David was a skilled military strategist, a skilled warrior, valiant, courageous.
152. 9:39He had a disjuncture in his tenure as the king of Israel.
153. 9:45He didn't see it necessary to be what kings are supposed to be.
154. 9:48So David stayed at Jerusalem.
155. 9:53That's indication number one.
156. 9:54The king is not what he's supposed to be.
157. 9:59People being out of pocket, people not being where they're supposed to be, supposed to be
158. 10:05that not only apply to the so-called unknown.
159. 10:10It happens with kings.
160. 10:11It happens with rulers.
161. 10:12happens with leaders. The word of God is conveying to us here is a man whom has whom God is entrusted
162. 10:20as the head of his nation, yet he is so consumed in himself that he is out of order. The next
163. 10:32indication, it's an intensifying of this disorder. King's supposed to be at war, David ain't at war.
164. 10:40King's supposed to be in battle, David ain't gone, he's send his servers, let them handle it.
165. 10:43The next thing now when evening came
166. 10:50David a row from his bed now this this ain't 21st century
167. 10:56This is not some you know some
168. 10:58Gen Z millennial Gen X or playing video games all night in their mama's basement
169. 11:03Waking up
170. 11:05afternoon. This is
171. 11:08The king who's supposed to be a feature of diligence who supposed to be a leader of the Lord's people
172. 11:15But he is arising from his bed in the evening
173. 11:17day is far spent and when you consider the fact that the way that affairs were conducted in Israel,
174. 11:27it was evening and there was morning and that was the first day just as the Bible says, usually people
175. 11:33awakened close to daybreak, even not earlier, because all of the things they had to do, there was no
176. 11:41electrical grid, anything that nature didn't do much official business, if you will, in the evening times.
177. 11:47So daylight had to be the time when you took care of things.
178. 11:50But the scriptures revealing that David is getting out of his bed at evening time.
179. 11:58These are two seminal and intensifying warnings to let you know danger, danger, danger, Will
180. 12:05Robinson, what's going to transpire hereafter is not very good.
181. 12:15This is one of those opportunities for us to have a word of God inspired checkup.
182. 12:24Are you where you're supposed to be?
183. 12:27Am I where I'm supposed to be?
184. 12:29Are you where you're supposed to be
185. 12:31when you're supposed to be there?
186. 12:33Or are our lives disordered?
187. 12:38Are we a people who say these are our priorities?
188. 12:41But when you look at our schedules,
189. 12:43you look at our calendars,
190. 12:44the things that we profess to be priority,
191. 12:46is that reflected in the way that we utilize our time?
192. 12:52See what sometimes we fail to understand
193. 12:55is the proverb writer told us that sin grows
194. 12:58as a man travels one step at a time.
195. 13:03Sometimes the chaos that is revealed in life
196. 13:07isn't the product of something that is transpired just now.
197. 13:11Sometimes it's the product of something
198. 13:12that is transpired long ago and little by little.
199. 13:20We'll out something, a little fly in the ointment
200. 13:26and a little sleep, a little slumber,
201. 13:27a little folding of the hands to rest.
202. 13:30And then then as a year's transpire,
203. 13:36You have the public calamity, the public collapse, the public failing.
204. 13:44When all along the Lord was saying, no, no, no, it's time to get up.
205. 13:54It's time to make the adjustment.
206. 13:57What I'm saying, that we need to be very diligent to refuse to allow what may be described
207. 14:04as passive instances of negligence to be formational for us, to where our lives are shaped by that
208. 14:11characterized by that. We should as much it has to do with us, endeavor, strive to be where
209. 14:21we're supposed to be when we're supposed. This is why I tried to daily remind us to refuse to allow
210. 14:27the headlines and the news media to divert our focus, to divert our attention, to make their priorities,
211. 14:36our priorities, but to recalibrate ourselves according to the Lord's word. Where are we supposed to be?
212. 14:41When are we supposed to be?
213. 14:45What are we supposed to be about?
214. 14:47So next thing you know, another five years have passed by, another seven years have passed
215. 14:51by, another ten years have passed by and we'll be saying, ahh.
216. 14:55I knew I shouldn't have been there.
217. 14:59You've heard a lot about saving babies on this show.
218. 15:02That's because it's important to me personally.
219. 15:04And let me just be frank with you.
220. 15:06We need to save them.
221. 15:08That's why we've partnered with Preborn, the nation's leader in introducing mothers
222. 15:11with unplanned pregnancies to their babies.
223. 15:14And once she hears that heartbeat and sees that precious life growing inside of her, she
224. 15:19is twice as likely to choose life.
225. 15:21Now that's a miracle.
226. 15:22But quite honestly, if we don't save them, who will?
227. 15:27Preborn receives no government funding so their work is completely dependent on us.
228. 15:31Preborn has rescued over 280,000 babies, and that's not all.
229. 15:36They provide love, support, and counseling for up to two years for free, saving lives
230. 15:41and souls.
231. 15:43One ultrasound is just $28 or $140 helps to rescue five babies' lives.
232. 15:49Abortion doesn't stop, so we can't.
233. 15:51Together, you and I can save lives.
234. 15:54Just dial pound250 on your cell and say the keyword baby.
235. 15:58That's 250 baby or go to preborn.com.
236. 16:02That's preborn.com.
237. 16:04Shiting light into the darkness.
238. 16:12This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
239. 16:16Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here.
240. 16:20Man, next week.
241. 16:22Yeah, this will be next week.
242. 16:24We will be in Farmerville, Louisiana at the Darbonne, say it properly, Church of Christ
243. 16:30for three days, August 9th, 10th and 11th.
244. 16:36That'll be the last trip for a while, for sure, I know until December.
245. 16:45I am so looking forward to my North Louisiana folks.
246. 16:49And I was told that I can tell you if you're in the area, you are welcome to join us for
247. 16:54the services.
248. 16:55It'll be 7 p.m. on Friday evening, August 9th, 7 p.m. August 10th, Saturday evening.
249. 17:02And then it'll be two services on Sunday, 11 a.m. and then 1 p.m. seating is limited, however.
250. 17:10So if you would like to be a part of that, if you're in the area, if you'd like to come
251. 17:13to the area. You are welcome to do so, but I would encourage you to get there early if
252. 17:18you want to have a seat. All right. I'm going to do something now. Several people have asked
253. 17:24me about it, whether I was going to talk about it, whether I had discussed it and have not
254. 17:28discussed this in detail yet for a number of reasons, but I'm going to do it now. And
255. 17:34what am I talking about? I want to talk about Project 2025. A lot of people have asked
256. 17:39what is Project 2025?
257. 17:42You help me understand what it is and
258. 17:45It is a worthwhile discussion and I know it became a media
259. 17:50Phenomenal recently and I know former president Trump has especially lately been bold in his
260. 17:59Protestations and his attempts to distance himself from Project 2025 because the media is trying to say
261. 18:06This is the Trump plan. This is the Trump plan. So let me explain what it is. First of all,
262. 18:15let me just tell you that this is nothing more, nothing more than a fear-mongering effort
263. 18:22by regressive in our country. They've just been able to adopt a new
264. 18:27a screed for their efforts to try to scare people.
265. 18:32Most of the people we've been talking about don't have a clue what it is. The second thing
266. 18:37thing I need you to know is that Project 2025 is nothing more than a presidential transition
267. 18:43plan.
268. 18:44All right.
269. 18:45It's an administration transition plan.
270. 18:47So a couple of things.
271. 18:48Let me take a few steps back.
272. 18:50Remember when former, and let me just say this too, that the regressors that are attempting
273. 18:54to fear manga were Project 2025 is so, so hypocritical because it's nothing different
274. 19:00than what Democrats have done.
275. 19:03It's no different than what former President Barack Obama did when he took office in
276. 19:082008. And so let me explain it to you. So remember when former President Trump ran for
277. 19:17the presidency came down to that escalator in Trump Tower, much to the shock and surprise
278. 19:25of regressive the world over, including in our own country. She who shall never be president
279. 19:33in spite of all of the predictions, in spite of all of the polls, in spite of all of, you
280. 19:40You know, Mr. Hussein himself, like this most qualified woman,
281. 19:43who ever it was, most qualified person ever for the presidency, you know.
282. 19:50She lost.
283. 19:51You know, let me just pause.
284. 19:53I have to just thank, celebrate and thank the Lord God almighty that I never
285. 19:59have to declare to you, shall I never be president has ever been president.
286. 20:06Yep, never been president.
287. 20:07And it's interesting.
288. 20:08Nobody, nobody called her an election denier, even though she wrote a book.
289. 20:12But I didn't win around talking about former president Trump is an illegitimate president and the rest of the illusion and all that kind of stuff now
290. 20:18Remember what was president Trump's major campaign?
291. 20:24Promise I won't say promise major campaign slogan and what he intended to do when he took office
292. 20:30Remember do you remember who it was?
293. 20:32Drain the swamp remember gonna drain the swamp. What a drain the swamp. We're gonna drain the swamp
294. 20:38But what ended up happening?
295. 20:42Did former president Trump drain the swamp?
296. 20:53No, in fact, the swamp fought back big time.
297. 21:00A lot of you, a lot of Americans are at home wondering,
298. 21:04okay, now what happened?
299. 21:05How was it able to happen?
300. 21:06Because I am grateful for former president Trump's term
301. 21:11in 2016, and frankly, I hope he wins in 2024.
302. 21:18But much of what he accomplished was only accomplished
303. 21:21at the executive level via executive order.
304. 21:25There were a few things, very minimally,
305. 21:27yeah, tax cut that happened, policy-wise.
306. 21:31Most of his accomplishments, accomplishments, however,
307. 21:34were solely at the executive branch.
308. 21:40So why did that happen?
309. 21:42You may recall that when I say the swamp
310. 21:46fought back against former President Trump,
311. 21:48what were the mechanisms of the swamp fighting back?
312. 21:52Remember my wires were tapped.
313. 21:53Who tapped the wires?
314. 21:56Who filed the false FISA affidavit before the FISA court
315. 22:01to get the illegally secured wire taps, right?
316. 22:06Who did this?
317. 22:08Who were the people working within the various apparatus
318. 22:11and various administrations?
319. 22:13And sorry, within the federal apparatus,
320. 22:15that was working against former President Trump.
321. 22:17What you need to understand,
322. 22:18and this should be the overarching tagline
323. 22:22for this portion of the show today, all right?
324. 22:27campaigning versus governing.
325. 22:31All right, campaigning versus governing.
326. 22:34It is one thing to be an effective campaigner,
327. 22:38but just because one might have had an effective campaign
328. 22:42does not mean that the campaigner is prepared to govern.
329. 22:46All right, one of the fundamental realities guys
330. 22:50is that as much as former President Trump
331. 22:52proclaimed his intention to drain the swamp.
332. 22:55Remember, drain the swamp, build the wall.
333. 22:58All of these things he planned to do, but the swamp fought him tooth and nail every step of the way.
334. 23:04It is because former President Trump campaigned but did not have a plan to govern.
335. 23:12And when I say a plan to govern, I mean specifically two primary components.
336. 23:19Policy articulation with three primary components.
337. 23:22Policy articulation, meaning explaining the policy prerogatives you want to accomplish.
338. 23:28Secondarily, policy implementation.
339. 23:31How will you implement the ideas you have to implement?
340. 23:36Thirdly, personnel for policy execution.
341. 23:41Those three components are indispensable.
342. 23:47All right?
343. 23:48What happened when former President Trump took office,
344. 23:52he took office governed by bureaucrats,
345. 23:58alphabet agencies and deep state in the shadows,
346. 24:03operatives who had been installed there during the Obama years.
347. 24:09A lot of us know some of the more famous Peter Stroke
348. 24:12and all these other people who behind the scenes working for the federal government,
349. 24:16working in the executive branch of the federal apparatus,
350. 24:20who are literally working against former President Trump at every step of the way.
351. 24:29You had them working against him within the bureaucracy,
352. 24:32you had forces outside working against him.
353. 24:35You had the whole Russian collusion, delusion scandal that that is well known
354. 24:39within DC that it was a fraud from the very beginning, but they still ran with it
355. 24:44because they just to be frank about this, they outmaneuvered President Trump
356. 24:49within the government to apparatus. Enter 2021.
357. 24:54All right. After the election season of 2020,
358. 24:58You had individuals and this was led by the Heritage Foundation, which is a conservative
359. 25:06organization and think tank in Washington, DC.
360. 25:11All right.
361. 25:12It led an effort to say should the Lord allow another Republican president to be elected,
362. 25:21this time around will be more prepared for the deep state.
363. 25:24Now let me take a few steps back to 2008 because guess who did this first?
364. 25:30former President Barack Obama.
365. 25:34When Barack Obama took office,
366. 25:36he was intentional about making sure he filled
367. 25:39every available spot within the federal apparatus.
368. 25:44And if there was no spots,
369. 25:45he sought to expand the federal apparatus
370. 25:48with people who shared his regressive insidious,
371. 25:54and I would just say frankly, wicked worldview.
372. 25:56He had them enter the federal bureaucracy at low levels.
373. 26:02And if you know anything about government,
374. 26:03employment, government service,
375. 26:05not always, but generally speaking,
376. 26:07one of the ways you arise to positions
377. 26:09of influence and authority is over time.
378. 26:12So if you think about people
379. 26:14who entered the federal bureaucracy in 2008,
380. 26:19that process was expedited exponentially
381. 26:21between the years of 2011 and 2013,
382. 26:25guess where they are by the time former President Trump
383. 26:27comes around.
384. 26:28And so if you have no plan to have your own people
385. 26:31that you've vetted,
386. 26:32that the organization that you've built,
387. 26:34that you've installed to take these positions,
388. 26:36guess what you're going to be doing?
389. 26:38You and me spending all of your time
390. 26:40working against the very people
391. 26:41who are supposed to be working for you.
392. 26:46So in 2021, Heritage Foundation led the effort
393. 26:51over a hundred conservative organizations
394. 26:54worked alongside the Heritage Foundation.
395. 26:57This was not something started by former President Trump.
396. 26:59This was started by the Heritage Foundation.
397. 27:04And yes, and as Paula was saying, once they get in,
398. 27:07and this is why the efforts using the civil service
399. 27:09other things are so hard once they get in to get them removed because unfortunately we
400. 27:16very often have a Democrat party who government is their god. So they often are playing chess
401. 27:23because the end all be all for them is government. You have a potent campaign through 2016 before
402. 27:30President Trump, but day one, was he ready to govern? And when I say govern, I'm not just
403. 27:35talking about policy articulation things you want to accomplish.
404. 27:39I think he was clear on policy articulation.
405. 27:41I think where there were failings were policy implementation and personnel for policy execution.
406. 27:49Those are the two additional rails that led to what I call the governmental rope-a-dope
407. 27:54put on former President Trump.
408. 27:56So 2021 occurs and the process begins.
409. 28:00So the project 2025 consists of four major components.
410. 28:05First component is policy.
411. 28:07922 pages of policy recommendations.
412. 28:10None of them have to be adopted by anybody.
413. 28:13These are just suggestions.
414. 28:14These are recommendations.
415. 28:17Any presidential candidate can review them, except some rejects them.
416. 28:22922 pages worth.
417. 28:24Most of the people were talking about this stuff.
418. 28:25They haven't even read any of it.
419. 28:28Secondarily, and remember this day is back to 2021 is when this started.
420. 28:31and this is what I just talked to you about.
421. 28:33Personnel, the process started in 2021
422. 28:40to identify and vet people who could help implement
423. 28:47a conservative, constitutionally conservative agenda
424. 28:53through the federal apparatus,
425. 28:55infiltrate the apparatus to destroy the apparatus.
426. 28:59I'm not destroyed, but to get it to function
427. 29:01within its constitutional limitations.
428. 29:03All right.
429. 29:05So there was a process of resume accumulation,
430. 29:08vetting potential candidates for potential particular roles.
431. 29:12So that on day one, you're ready not to re-rope-edope again.
432. 29:19Thirdly, you have the training component again
433. 29:21to have day one ready personnel.
434. 29:23And then the fourth component is a 180 day playbook
435. 29:26for the first 180 days in office.
436. 29:29These are the things we seek to accomplish.
437. 29:31None of this is new to politics, folks.
438. 29:33None of this is new to politics.
439. 29:40So the fear mongering around Project 2025,
440. 29:45it literally is just insanity.
441. 29:47Because if you are running for office,
442. 29:49any office, whether it be dog catcher school board,
443. 29:52president of your local parent teacher association,
444. 29:54city council member, state senate, whatever office,
445. 29:58don't you think you should be ready to do the job?
446. 30:00If you're elected, don't you think you should be prepared?
447. 30:04And if you are going to be the head of an operation
448. 30:06where there are over 8,000 federal governmental offices
449. 30:10that you're in charge of,
450. 30:13And more.
451. 30:17Don't you think you need to be ready?
452. 30:19Don't you think you just had an experience from,
453. 30:20I don't know, 2016, where you were rope-edoped
454. 30:23by the deep state that if you get another chance,
455. 30:25that you probably want to avoid being rope-edoped
456. 30:27the second time, that's what it is.
457. 30:33That's what it is.
458. 30:36So the fear monger is surrounded and just insane.
459. 30:40Now I understand because this project started long before.
460. 30:44Like I told you, starting in 2021,
461. 30:49President Trump wasn't a nominee there.
462. 30:50So when he says, this wasn't something I created,
463. 30:53he's right, he didn't create it.
464. 30:56He didn't create, he's right about that.
465. 30:58But where there's a problem is when he goes so far,
466. 31:01where now he's going to try to ingratiate himself
467. 31:04to Regressive's in our country by Slammy Project 25,
468. 31:08and the hundreds of Christian organizations,
469. 31:10the over 100 Christian conservative organizations,
470. 31:13and includes Christian organizations
471. 31:15that help participate in it.
472. 31:18You're compounding the error from the platform issue
473. 31:21where you're telling significant components
474. 31:23of your 2016 electoral coalition,
475. 31:25well, I don't care about you,
476. 31:26I wanna ingress your myself to these regressives
477. 31:28because I know that I'm gonna get,
478. 31:32let me just ask you this way,
479. 31:33how many Democrat and independent voters
480. 31:39you think President Trump is winning by saying,
481. 31:41oh, I have nothing to do with Project 2025.
482. 31:45You think that's gonna make them come your way?
483. 31:48So naive.
484. 31:49And I understand he has his agenda,
485. 31:51I'm sorry, agenda 47,
486. 31:53being the coming of 47 President of the United States.
487. 31:55What do you think that's gonna include?
488. 31:57Has the MAGA movement in former President Trump
489. 31:59built infrastructure,
490. 32:00vetted candidates to fill the federal government
491. 32:03to apparatus?
492. 32:04Has he identified people that would be able
493. 32:05to implement his vision at the expansive state?
494. 32:09Having developed it across the last four years?
495. 32:11Has he done that?
496. 32:15No.
497. 32:16So even if he wins,
498. 32:17guess what the real possibility is
499. 32:19with his distancing himself from Project 2025?
500. 32:21Even if he wins,
501. 32:23he's putting a vessel of self in a position
502. 32:25where he's estranged from those who would wanna help him
503. 32:28to implement his agenda, to be left with the very regressives
504. 32:32he said he wants to drain the swamp of,
505. 32:34to be left with them to fill and to continue operating
506. 32:38in the circumstances, which is why one of the things
507. 32:41I was greatly concerned about is that they know
508. 32:44if they have the rope adobe them again,
509. 32:46they only have to try to endure them
510. 32:47for the next two and a half years.
511. 32:49Because at year three, it's usually beginning
512. 32:52ramping up campaigning again, which is why this is a foolish,
513. 32:57Foolish public move.
514. 33:00Hamilton Quarter podcast and one-minute common
515. 33:12terrors are available at AFR.net.
516. 33:15Back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
517. 33:19Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton
518. 33:21the third here.
519. 33:22And so in discussing this Project 2025 thing,
520. 33:25I want you all to think about a couple things, right?
521. 33:29Keep in mind what I said to you that this Project 2025
522. 33:32started in 2021.
523. 33:35Okay.
524. 33:37This isn't something that just developed.
525. 33:39It started in 2021.
526. 33:41So the question you should ask yourself
527. 33:43in the question that former President Trump
528. 33:44needs to ask himself is that if this started in 2021,
529. 33:48why am I just hearing about it now and then?
530. 33:52Why am I hearing about it now in the media?
531. 33:55This isn't something that's been a secret.
532. 34:02This, it started in 2021.
533. 34:05Why is it happening?
534. 34:06because progressives in their most enduring propagandist,
535. 34:15assistant, the talking snake media,
536. 34:18has decided, I would say, in desperation,
537. 34:22that we need to lob all bullets we have at the time.
538. 34:28You know, 2025 came to national conversational prominence
539. 34:32as the Democrats are trying to decide,
540. 34:37oh, Joe Biden, no Joe Biden, no Joe Biden, no Joe Biden,
541. 34:40That's when that became a popular conversation topic.
542. 34:46When the media was attempting to deflect attention
543. 34:48away from the fact that we've had a weekend at Bernie's
544. 34:51president in the Oval Office for the last three
545. 34:53and a half years and everybody knew it.
546. 34:56Deflect attention away from the fact that what everybody
547. 34:59witnessed on June 27th is what everybody knew
548. 35:02what was going on for the last three plus years.
549. 35:05But they threw that out there to see,
550. 35:07well maybe we can get this to grow some layers
551. 35:08to grab some attention.
552. 35:11And because you have strange things in it,
553. 35:15like protecting the family,
554. 35:18protecting the fact that marriage consists
555. 35:19of one man and one woman seeking to incentivize,
556. 35:22to incentivize and protect family structure.
557. 35:25Heh heh heh heh heh heh.
558. 35:31It's amazing.
559. 35:33It's just amazing.
560. 35:35It's amazing.
561. 35:36But what's happened instead of,
562. 35:38instead of simply fielding a question,
563. 35:41and I agree, I think there's some tactical missteps
564. 35:44that transpired.
565. 35:45I think there could have been more conversation behind the scenes with the direct appeal to,
566. 35:53you know, former President Trump to if you wanted to get him to sign on or not, or if
567. 35:58not, don't present it as if this is something he's doing, present it as something that this
568. 36:01is an idea that you would like to see happen and do it independently.
569. 36:04But regardless of that, Mr. Trump is not going to strengthen his electoral prospects by trying
570. 36:15to make himself, yeah, I'm just, I'm, I'm Democrat like, it's just not going to work.
571. 36:21This is not gonna work and in the process is foolish to continue to continue to
572. 36:31Put your finger in the eye of people who supported you by and large in the past
573. 36:36And it's how you basically to declare
574. 36:40By your public statements and your campaigning that we don't we don't we don't care about these voters anymore
575. 36:46We don't need them anymore. So when asked about this, I know I've been known to give free advice. Oh
576. 36:54Oh, Mr. Trump had to say was, well, I didn't create Project 2025.
577. 37:01I am running for the presidency.
578. 37:02And it is my intention that I'll do win the presidency, but govern in such a way to what
579. 37:07we make America great again.
580. 37:09In that process, it is also my intention to take counsel to get insight from people from
581. 37:16all many different sectors.
582. 37:18And if there are things that are consistent with the agenda that we have for the country,
583. 37:23then we'll consider them.
584. 37:24There are things that are inconsistent with our agenda for the country.
585. 37:27We'll reject them, but it's always wise to get counsel from trustworthy sources.
586. 37:33Come on.
587. 37:37You can say very easily project 2025 is not my policy.
588. 37:42Parrogative.
589. 37:43The vetting process and things that have not something we started.
590. 37:46But if they are people in America, our movement is to make America great again.
591. 37:50The way that America is made great again is because of America's great people.
592. 37:54the people of America are made front and center in America. America is on a better posture than it is
593. 38:00now when those radical elites in DC and those radical leftists have no interest in democracy.
594. 38:06You pivot at that moment as demonstrated by their willingness to toss off their incumbent candidate
595. 38:13and just install someone else. They have no interest in actually engaging with the American people.
596. 38:19It's not like that over here. And this is why our movement is to make America great again.
597. 38:24It's bigger than any individual.
598. 38:25It's bigger than any political party.
599. 38:27It is moving America in the direction
600. 38:30to where the greatest nation and the greatest experiment
601. 38:33in individual liberty in the history of the world
602. 38:36is refitted to endure so that my grandchildren
603. 38:40and great-grandchildren have a better future
604. 38:42than my wildest imagination.
605. 38:45That's all you have to do.
606. 38:47But no, my concern, and this is not all criticism,
607. 38:51I'm gonna say some positive about pressure
608. 38:52coming in a minute, but this is some criticism.
609. 38:55My concern is that his his inclinations his leanings are leftist
610. 39:03His inklet his leanings are he takes it's important to him what the New York Times says. It's important to him
611. 39:11What the lion media says it's important to him. So his immediate reflexive
612. 39:16Responses all I don't know I have nothing to do I had to get him out of here destroy them
613. 39:21Without any consideration whatsoever. I mean he can literally say you know with a heritage organization
614. 39:27is a think tank. This is what they do.
615. 39:31They develop ideas. Sometimes they have good ideas.
616. 39:34Sometimes the ideas may not be so good.
617. 39:37But one thing that is for certain,
618. 39:39what we all know is bad is a swamp.
619. 39:41And you pay for it, you address it. Done.
620. 39:45That way you communicate the fact that it's not my plan.
621. 39:47So any effort to get asked me questions about this policy,
622. 39:51I simply say it's not my plan. Go and talk to them.
623. 39:54And at the exact time, you refuse
624. 39:58to slap in the face hundreds of conservative organizations
625. 40:02whose constituencies have supported him in the past.
626. 40:05And you simply say things that work, things that are good,
627. 40:07that's what we want, things that don't work,
628. 40:09things that are bad, we don't want that.
629. 40:10And you keep it moving.
630. 40:12That's what it is.
631. 40:13But again, it's because, I'm a President Trump
632. 40:18in the MAGA movement, campaigning is their thing.
633. 40:20Governing is not.
634. 40:23But the sad reality is that should you win,
635. 40:26you're going to have to govern.
636. 40:28So this is why it's so hypocritical.
637. 40:31Where is he going to turn when it's time to govern?
638. 40:33Because he has not done this work.
639. 40:35You cannot do this in 20 days.
640. 40:38I know you like to talk about it.
641. 40:39I can build bridges.
642. 40:40I can build these things real quick.
643. 40:41You cannot fit out the federal apparatus
644. 40:45with the endeavor to drain the swamp
645. 40:48and to have trusted people who you have vetted.
646. 40:50You can't do that in 12 minutes.
647. 40:54So he's taking something that could have been an asset to him.
648. 40:57It could have been a strength for him
649. 40:58and he's allowed it to become something
650. 41:00to weaken him to a degree.
651. 41:08That's what it is.
652. 41:09So I'm sharing this mainly for you
653. 41:20so that you'll be able to explain.
654. 41:23Prodigy 2025 was just its preparation for transition.
655. 41:26It didn't start with Trump.
656. 41:27It started before his, even before it was clear
657. 41:30that he would be the Republican nominee.
658. 41:33And it's the response to witnessing
659. 41:37the deep state outmaneuver him
660. 41:39during his initial tournament office.
661. 41:42To try to prevent that from being repeated
662. 41:44should another Republican take office after Mr. Robinette.
663. 41:49Now, conversely, this is where I think President Trump's
664. 41:52instincts are good. Today, he appeared from a President Trump at the National Association
665. 41:59of Black Journalists Convention or their conference. It's interesting. You have lots of people to
666. 42:09say lots of things. I think it's important and I think it's wise to go where people don't
667. 42:14expect you to go, you know, unless, let me say that better. If you have a plan that you
668. 42:19can execute with message discipline, I think it's wise. If you don't have a plan that you
669. 42:24can execute with message discipline. I think it's
670. 42:26improvement. Nevertheless, one of the things that
671. 42:29lots of American people like is that Mr. Trump has
672. 42:33the tendency to be himself wherever he goes. And so
673. 42:39appearing at the National Association of the Black
674. 42:42Journalists Convention today, he started this interview
675. 42:47off with a bang. Right out of the gate, he was asked a
676. 42:51question whether or not he believed Kamala Harris was a
677. 42:55DEI or as a vice president, listen to how he responded, some of his response, it's clip number two.
678. 43:00Go.
679. 43:01You have to define it.
680. 43:03Define it for me if you will.
681. 43:05I just defined it, sir.
682. 43:06Do you believe that Vice President Kamala Harris is only on the ticket because she is
683. 43:09a black woman?
684. 43:10Well, I can say, no, I think it's maybe a little bit different.
685. 43:13So I've known her a long time indirectly, not directly, very much, and she was always
686. 43:21of Indian heritage and she was only promoting Indian heritage.
687. 43:25I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black
688. 43:30and now she wants to be known as black.
689. 43:32So I don't know, is she Indian or is she black?
690. 43:34She is always, I don't know why.
691. 43:35But you know what?
692. 43:36I respect either one.
693. 43:37I respect either one, but she obviously doesn't.
694. 43:40I'm going to play it one more time.
695. 43:45Go.
696. 43:46Why not?
697. 43:48You have to define it.
698. 43:49Define it for me if you want.
699. 43:51I just defined it, sir.
700. 43:52Do you believe that Vice President Kamala Harris is only on the ticket because she is a black woman?
701. 43:56Well, I can say, no, I think it's maybe a little bit different.
702. 43:59So I've known her a long time indirectly, not directly, very much.
703. 44:05And she was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage.
704. 44:11I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn black.
705. 44:16And now she wants to be known as black.
706. 44:18So I don't know, is she Indian or is she black?
707. 44:20She is always.
708. 44:21I know the black.
709. 44:22I respect either one.
710. 44:23I respect either one, but she obviously doesn't.
711. 44:29So that was a large part, went out of large part, but that's the way the interview started.
712. 44:36You know, the whole interview was about 37 minutes long.
713. 44:40Mr. Trump explained that he took a little bit of ire at the fact that he was told that
714. 44:46he would appear at the convention opposite his opponent in the presidential race.
715. 44:51And he said whether it be Joe Biden or Kamala Harris, but he found out that neither of them would show up when he showed up, which I thought is interesting.
716. 45:00And he was told that he couldn't participate in the convention via zoom, but Kamala Harris may be able to participate via zoom.
717. 45:10So he mentioned that. But throughout the thing, I don't think there was a, and I got a good question I want to get to, I want to get to.
718. 45:19I don't think there was necessarily a major fumble.
719. 45:25He didn't say anything at the NABJ appearance
720. 45:29that he hadn't said publicly before.
721. 45:32And his appearance basically consisted of him
722. 45:35basically being classic Trump.
723. 45:37Now the thing that I think is a positive takeaway for him
724. 45:41and a positive indication is that I think people
725. 45:47at the convention, but his presence there really wasn't
726. 45:50for the people at the convention.
727. 45:51It's for the citizens.
728. 45:53It's like, it's the old attitude.
729. 45:54You have the opportunity to have a public debate.
730. 45:56Like, you know, if you have a Christian
731. 45:57publicly debating an atheist,
732. 45:59the focus of the debate is actually the audience,
733. 46:01not the debate opponent, you know?
734. 46:04And so there are lots of people who, in watching
735. 46:08that appearance at the convention,
736. 46:10first of all, show that he's willing to go
737. 46:13into what could rightly be described as an environment
738. 46:15that will be hostile toward him,
739. 46:17that you could expect to be hostile toward him.
740. 46:19Yet he remained consistent with what he always is.
741. 46:25And so you have, this is way I would describe
742. 46:28President Trump, I think his instincts
743. 46:30in terms of connecting with people in some ways are good.
744. 46:36But I think his execution is not always good.
745. 46:42The net takeaway in my view from his appearance
746. 46:45at the NABJ conference is positive for him.
747. 46:49Because lots of people, who's amazed,
748. 46:51in the coming and say this to your face. And you know, and the point about Kamala Harris,
749. 46:57you know, I can show you another clip out while running the other one real quick. I don't, I want
750. 47:01to get to this question. She has historically described herself as Indian, you know, that's just
751. 47:07the truth. But I think the most effective route for him is to get to the policy distinctions,
752. 47:17like, and make sure you connect Kamala Harris to everything that has transpired from the previous
753. 47:21administration. Most importantly, I think, because we're talking about campaigning for
754. 47:26campaigning purposes, most importantly, connect her to the fact that she knew what Mr. Biden
755. 47:30was like behind the scenes in the White House. And she said and did nothing. She is the person
756. 47:36solely with the constitutional authority under the 25th Amendment. She knew what Mr. Biden
757. 47:43was. And she said nothing. Now, one question online, Dewey says, stepping out of one so-called
758. 47:49right wing project 2025 angle to be expanded as his game plan against all those who are
759. 47:54not Christian are in the millions who are hearing him say that's not his attack plan.
760. 47:58Let's see the other positives in him being president.
761. 48:02I hear what you're saying, but how effective do you think that's going to be?
762. 48:05Do you think the quote unquote millions of people in America who are not Christians will
763. 48:11be more inclined to listen to him because he slams project 2025?
764. 48:16I'm saying that you can distance yourself from it without slamming the people who you
765. 48:22know have worked on Project 2025 because he knows organizations that have worked on Project
766. 48:272025.
767. 48:28What I think he thinks is that he's well he's underestimating people's unwillingness to
768. 48:33be energetic for him.
769. 48:35So I don't think that this is a good move for him.
770. 48:40Understanding what Project 2025 is.
