  1. 0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
  2. 0:02It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
  3. 0:06This is the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
  4. 0:10It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
  5. 0:15Delivering 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. 0:23Even 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. 0:33Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio.
  13. 0:36I am your host, Abraham Hamilton, a third joined by the corner contingent.
  14. 0:41Right across from me, my man, 100 grand, Mr. Bobby, Rosa.
  15. 0:45And in the screening room, produced extraordinaire, often imitated, but never, ever, ever duplicated.
  16. 0:52He is accompanied by our friendly, perpetually recovering neighborhood, Woodaholic.
  17. 0:57in the screening room where we are ready to rock ready to rock and roll with this edition of the program.
  18. 1:04I want to tell you now we do intend to open the phone lines in this in the final segment of today's program.
  19. 1:09And I'll tell you what I want to talk to you about now.
  20. 1:12This has been the most unusual and saying unconventional.
  21. 1:20What other other adjectives might you want to employ there?
  22. 1:24Election season of my lifetime for certain.
  23. 1:27And what I want to know is what for those who are bold enough to have this conversation with
  24. 1:34me.
  25. 1:35I want to know what has your experience been discussing it with your friends and family members.
  26. 1:44That's what I like to know.
  27. 1:47I don't plan on unless you want to volunteer.
  28. 1:49I'm not going to oppose it, but I don't plan on asking you who you plan to vote for.
  29. 1:52I just want to know what your conversations have been like.
  30. 1:57For example, are people discussing more in your spheres of influence?
  31. 2:01Are they discussing more about policy?
  32. 2:04Or are they discussing personality?
  33. 2:07What are the things that are influencing people around you?
  34. 2:11Where you are?
  35. 2:12Have you been able to make a case, make your case, and maybe change hearts and minds?
  36. 2:19I just want to know what your experiences have been.
  37. 2:24That is what I'd like to have a conversation with you about.
  38. 2:26So we will open the phone lines in the third segment.
  39. 2:29For that, I know some people are shocked,
  40. 2:31but that is the plan for today's program.
  41. 2:35At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you,
  42. 2:38are making your transition from your part-time jobs,
  43. 2:41will you generate an income,
  44. 2:43to your full-time jobs where you cultivate an outcome.
  45. 2:45And I want to encourage you to do so with intentionality.
  46. 2:49With all the swirling, as I mentioned,
  47. 2:51being an electoral season that we are in currently,
  48. 2:54it's very easy to take our eyes off the ball
  49. 2:57become distracted and to allow what should be primary for us to be relegated to secondary
  50. 3:02or tertiary consideration.
  51. 3:04I would assert without fear of successful contradiction, the way we have ended up where
  52. 3:11we are in the United States of America is the product of this Hypership, just in the wrong
  53. 3:17direction.
  54. 3:19You know, Benjamin Franklin, leaving Independence Hall when he was asked, what have you wrought?
  55. 3:26Mr. Benjamin, his response, a republic if you can keep it.
  56. 3:30The Gipper Ronald Reagan said liberty, freedom is never more than one generation away from
  57. 3:35extinction.
  58. 3:37Some of the things, and I think I mentioned this before, most of you know that I'm a homeschool
  59. 3:42dad.
  60. 3:43I teach, I'm teaching this semester a civics course, which is really a combination of basic
  61. 3:47civics, a government with a focus on American government contrasting it with different governments
  62. 3:53around the world and introduction to Constitutional Law.
  63. 3:58One of the things that I find remarkable,
  64. 3:59and I've encouraged my students to ask those around them
  65. 4:04if people they know can actually define what a republic is.
  66. 4:09What is a republic?
  67. 4:10If we have, which we do have, the Article IV,
  68. 4:14Section IV, guarantee of a republican form of government,
  69. 4:18can most Americans define what a republic is?
  70. 4:21What is a republic?
  71. 4:23Is it synonymous with the democracy or is it different?
  72. 4:27Now, what are the considerations that led to the founders adopting our current system
  73. 4:33of government?
  74. 4:34I had a conversation with a person who completely did not understand, for example, the three-fifths
  75. 4:39clause of the United States Constitution.
  76. 4:42Did not understand that the same congressional delegation that drafted and ultimately led to
  77. 4:48the ratification of the U.S. Constitution drafted and passed the Northwest Ordinance.
  78. 4:53But here's the Northwest Ordinance.
  79. 4:55The fact that most Americans have no clue what that is, is not merely a conventional coincidence
  80. 5:00of happenstance.
  81. 5:01It's a product of divine, not divine.
  82. 5:05It's a product of intentionally designed discipleship in one direction.
  83. 5:15We don't get to where we are overnight, folks.
  84. 5:17We don't get to where we are overnight.
  85. 5:19So these are some things in your conversations with people.
  86. 5:23Do the people around you know what a republic is?
  87. 5:26Do you know what a republic is?
  88. 5:28What makes a republic different than what the founders might describe as an absolute democracy
  89. 5:36or a direct democracy?
  90. 5:38What is the difference?
  91. 5:40Why does our pledge say we pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
  92. 5:45and to the republic for which it stands?
  93. 5:48What is that?
  94. 5:56Lots of people talk about democracy, not as many people talk about republic.
  95. 5:59I'm talking about from, you know, from the block,
  96. 6:03to the trailer park, to the Capitol building in D.C.
  97. 6:07You have people who have no clue.
  98. 6:13I'll add this and then we'll get to the Word of God.
  99. 6:16The founders intentionally drafted the Constitution
  100. 6:20at a level to be comprehended by mothers at home
  101. 6:30and fathers in their homes to instruct their children.
  102. 6:35The Constitution was written to be comprehensible to children during the founding era.
  103. 6:39This was not some type of discourse that was intended to be relegated to the esteemed holes
  104. 6:45of the scholar.
  105. 6:46No, but let's go to the Word of God.
  106. 6:55We'll continue to this.
  107. 6:57And frankly, continue with the Declaration, pledge allegiance to the flag of the United
  108. 7:02States of America and to the Republic for which it stands.
  109. 7:04nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
  110. 7:11The drafters of our pledge understood. You don't get to indivisibility nor do you get to liberty
  111. 7:18and justice for all if we don't remain a people under God. See, when you remove that under God,
  112. 7:26which some recent folks try to do when they recite the pledge, they ignore it, they eliminate that
  113. 7:32portion of the pledge. And then we wonder, man, how have we gotten to this place? We don't enjoy
  114. 7:38indivisibility and liberty and justice for all. See, a lot of us are upset right now because we have a
  115. 7:46tiered system to where there's justice for some, depending on who you are, how connected you may be.
  116. 7:53To the word of God, we go Jonah, the book of Jonah is where I want to go. The book of Jonah is actually
  117. 7:59a very short book, just four chapters in total.
  118. 8:05And I want to present this to you really in an introspective fashion to provoke some introspection.
  119. 8:18It's remarkable to me in the book of Jonah.
  120. 8:22Right at the beginning, the Lord says, Jonah, I want you to go to Nineveh.
  121. 8:26Jonah was like, to Tarshes, we go by boat.
  122. 8:31The scripture is intentional about directing us to the fact that Jonah sailed from Japa,
  123. 8:36which is a city that appears prominently later on in the book of Acts,
  124. 8:41concerning Peter and his revelation as to how the Lord viewed Gentile inclusion in
  125. 8:46the body of Christ as remarkable.
  126. 8:48But when they were on the ship, the scripture records that all of the people on
  127. 8:52the boat, when the storms are tossing the ship to and fro,
  128. 8:56they call call out to their lower case, G God, but Jonah was asleep.
  129. 9:03And then they go to wake Jonah, man, what are you doing sleeping?
  130. 9:06Don't you see what's going on here?
  131. 9:13Who are you?
  132. 9:14Where are you from?
  133. 9:17What God do you serve?
  134. 9:19Jonah awakens and tells him very plainly.
  135. 9:21I'm a Hebrew and I serve the one true God, creator of land and sea.
  136. 9:27And what's remarkable to me is that none of the people on the boat object to Jonah's
  137. 9:33description.
  138. 9:34Now they all have called on their little case, gee guys, it doesn't happen.
  139. 9:36But they ask Jonah who is his God and he says, I serve the one true God.
  140. 9:40None of them object to him.
  141. 9:42Find that remarkable.
  142. 9:45Find that remarkable.
  143. 9:49It's another indication on affirmation
  144. 9:50when things really get hot.
  145. 9:53You don't have too many people quibbling,
  146. 9:56or who's the real guy,
  147. 9:57they're looking for the one who actually can answer by fire.
  148. 10:00Or in this instance, answer by calming the storm.
  149. 10:04But the chapter three we go,
  150. 10:08and this is remarkable.
  151. 10:09What I've explained before,
  152. 10:10one of the major reasons why Jonah didn't want to go
  153. 10:12to Nineveh because Jonah had developed a hatred
  154. 10:15for the Nineveh.
  155. 10:16And Nineveh was the capital city of the Assyrian Empire.
  156. 10:19The Assyrian Empire was responsible for decimating the northern kingdom of Israel, destroying them
  157. 10:26barbarically, cutting open the stomachs of pregnant women.
  158. 10:30It was horrible.
  159. 10:32And Jonah frankly hated the Ninevites.
  160. 10:34And he knew if he went to Nineveh and did what God called them to, that they would likely
  161. 10:41repent and God would allow them to.
  162. 10:44And Jonah didn't want that to happen.
  163. 10:47major purpose for Jonah's account to be included in the scriptures for God to communicate to you and to me,
  164. 10:54that we don't have the authority to determine who or who is not worthy of the grace of God.
  165. 10:58But I want to point to something more specific. Chapter 3, Jonah chapter 3, verses 1 through 9,
  166. 11:05and this is what the word of God says. Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time saying,
  167. 11:09arise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim to it the proclamation which I am going to tell you.
  168. 11:14So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh according to the word of the Lord.
  169. 11:19Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, a three days walk to be clear.
  170. 11:28It's not saying the city was so big, it took three days to walk, walk it alone.
  171. 11:32At the time I've jonest time, but most likely it's communicating that in order for Jonah to do what God is calling me to do,
  172. 11:37it would take three days to get across the entire scope of the city.
  173. 11:40Alright, back to the text.
  174. 11:42Verse 4, then Jonah began to go through the city one day's walk.
  175. 11:46walk and he cried out and said, yet 40 days and Nineveh will be overthrown.
  176. 11:54Look at verse five, then the people of Nineveh believed God and they called
  177. 12:01a fast and put on sackcloth from the greatest to the least of them.
  178. 12:10Her six, when the word reached the king of Nineveh, he arose from his throne,
  179. 12:15laid aside his robe from him, covered himself with sackcloth and sat on the ashes.
  180. 12:19He issued a proclamation and it said,
  181. 12:21In Nineveh, by the decree of the king and his nobles,
  182. 12:24Do not let man, beast, herd, or flock taste a thing.
  183. 12:29Do not let them eat or drink water,
  184. 12:31But both man and beast must be covered with sackcloth,
  185. 12:34And let men call on God earnestly,
  186. 12:37That each may turn from his wicked way,
  187. 12:39And from the violence which is in his hands.
  188. 12:41Who knows?
  189. 12:44God may turn and relent, and withdraw his burning anger,
  190. 12:48so that we will not perish.
  191. 12:52This is a remarkable portion of Scripture
  192. 12:56because if you know anything about the Ninevites,
  193. 12:58just to see it plainly, they were an exceedingly wicked people.
  194. 13:04You want to talk about our revelry?
  195. 13:06You want to talk about sexual immorality?
  196. 13:08You want to talk about the shedding of innocent blood?
  197. 13:10Corruption?
  198. 13:11It was a bloodthirsty, blood lust.
  199. 13:15Wicked people?
  200. 13:18A wicked people?
  201. 13:21That the Scripture records when Jonah began to proclaim
  202. 13:23with God told a number of proclaim.
  203. 13:25The repentance didn't even begin with the king
  204. 13:27and started with the people.
  205. 13:29The citizens and the city of Nineveh said,
  206. 13:31oh, we need to fast.
  207. 13:34We need to pray.
  208. 13:36Then when the king heard the word from Jonah,
  209. 13:40the word from God through Jonah,
  210. 13:42he issued a decree.
  211. 13:45Everybody was fasting.
  212. 13:47Nobody's eating nothing.
  213. 13:51Was provoked me to wonder,
  214. 13:56what would it take for our people to repent in our country?
  215. 14:00What would it take?
  216. 14:03We see what's happening around us.
  217. 14:08It seems that the soil of the hearts of the Ninevites
  218. 14:15was primed to receive the warning that led to their repentance.
  219. 14:23What would it take for our nation?
  220. 14:28The most enduring and desperate need for our nation
  221. 14:31is repentance, man.
  222. 14:37Or have we become too nose blind, not only to recognize
  223. 14:42the deleterious effects of things happening around us,
  224. 14:45but not even a recognition that we need God just as desperately as an
  225. 14:51univized need God.
  226. 14:53Something that I'm truly truly truly pawning.
  227. 14:59Sometimes I'm not a very good Christian and the Lord still seems to love me
  228. 15:03and do good things for me. Grace is an outside force that works
  229. 15:07good in my life rather than good pouring forth from what I do.
  230. 15:12For the law was given through Moses, grace and truth
  231. 15:15were realized through Jesus Christ. In my own spiritual life I'd much rather ask
  232. 15:20loving Savior to take control. I'm Ed Vatagniano and you can read the rest of
  233. 15:25for the grace of God has appeared at the stand.net.
  234. 15:29Shiting lightning to the darkness, this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
  235. 15:40Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton III here. I want to give
  236. 15:45the number now to allow you to jot it down because we're gonna open the phone
  237. 15:49lines in the third segment. The number to call is 888-589-8840.
  238. 15:54that number is 888-589-8840.
  239. 15:58I want to talk to those who are willing to call
  240. 16:02about what your experiences have been discussing
  241. 16:05this election season.
  242. 16:08I want to remind everyone that obviously
  243. 16:10the presidential race is popular,
  244. 16:12that is not the only thing on the ballot.
  245. 16:14The US Senate is on the ballot.
  246. 16:17The House of Representatives is on the ballot.
  247. 16:19State legislatures are on the ballot.
  248. 16:22School boards are on the ballot.
  249. 16:28Every responsible citizen should do our due diligence
  250. 16:32in making sure we understand who is on our ballot.
  251. 16:36What do they, what do the candidates believe?
  252. 16:41What is their platform as best as possible?
  253. 16:45So we're gonna do that in the third segment.
  254. 16:48But in this segment, I just wanna take a toggle
  255. 16:53around the country just to highlight some of the things
  256. 16:58that are happening.
  257. 16:59And this is just believe you me.
  258. 17:00This is a tip, just the tip of the iceberg
  259. 17:04of things that are happening.
  260. 17:05And because people all the time,
  261. 17:07all that's not happening, of course, not happening.
  262. 17:09And I mentioned this earlier this week,
  263. 17:10I just hadn't made it, but get to this story yet.
  264. 17:13But this has to do with Arizona State University,
  265. 17:15Professor Owen Anderson.
  266. 17:18Over 24 years, he's taught a course at the university
  267. 17:22titled Introduction to Christianity.
  268. 17:24He hadn't taught it every single year,
  269. 17:26but over the last 24 years, he's taught it on and off.
  270. 17:29sometimes courses offered this semester, not that semester, etc, etc.
  271. 17:33Well, recently, due to peer review, Professor Anderson's fellow professors at
  272. 17:42Arizona State University have now decided that he should not be allowed to teach
  273. 17:49his class because, what's your breath everybody?
  274. 17:53He has your dacity to teach his class from a Christian perspective.
  275. 17:59I can't believe it.
  276. 18:04Listen to and watch clip number three.
  277. 18:06Go.
  278. 18:07Hi, I need your help.
  279. 18:09It's really going down to ASU.
  280. 18:11The related studies department is trying to block me
  281. 18:13from teaching introduction to Christianity, a class
  282. 18:16I've taught many times over the last 24 years.
  283. 18:19They want me to teach it their way or not at all.
  284. 18:21And their way means, among other things,
  285. 18:23I have to deny that there's a biblical worldview.
  286. 18:26I have to deny there's something even called Christianity.
  287. 18:29There's only Christianity's.
  288. 18:31And I have to teach that Christianity's a colonizing religion.
  289. 18:34And if I don't do those, they'll try to stop me.
  290. 18:36Now, they're free to teach the class the way they think it's best.
  291. 18:39But I also have academic freedom to teach it the way I've been teaching it.
  292. 18:43I happen to have a graduate degree in religious studies from that department.
  293. 18:46So I'm very familiar with how they teach it.
  294. 18:49But they don't want those things taught.
  295. 18:51They want their philosophy of Christianity taught and only that view.
  296. 18:55So this is an academic liberty issue.
  297. 18:57Please help me get the word out.
  298. 18:58I'm gonna have an article on my sub stack.
  299. 18:59Please go there, please share that article
  300. 19:01and share this video.
  301. 19:02Let's let everyone know what ASU is up to.
  302. 19:09As I mentioned, Dr. I'm sorry, Professor Owen Anderson
  303. 19:12has taught this class over the course of the last 24 years.
  304. 19:17As you just heard him explain,
  305. 19:18he's actually an alumnus of the Arizona State University's
  306. 19:22Religious Studies Department.
  307. 19:24So what might have transpired before this latest thing?
  308. 19:32And what's happened is that his fellow faculty members
  309. 19:37have come together to put a mark on his course
  310. 19:40to no longer to oppose it being offered
  311. 19:43as a general education course.
  312. 19:45All right, but those of you familiar with university
  313. 19:49and the processes there, general education courses
  314. 19:51are those that are required by various universities
  315. 19:54in order to graduate.
  316. 19:57All right, general education courses have the opportunity
  317. 20:01who have more enrollees than courses that are not deemed general education courses.
  318. 20:06What you didn't hear in that short video is that earlier this year, the same professor
  319. 20:11Anderson filed a lawsuit against Arizona State University because of its mandatory DEI trainings.
  320. 20:20In that lawsuit, Professor Anderson said that the DEI trainings violate state law and that
  321. 20:27that he should not be compelled to be subjected to them.
  322. 20:34After it became known on campus
  323. 20:36that Professor Anderson objected to the DEI trainings,
  324. 20:40then came the faculty objection to his teaching
  325. 20:48of the Introduction to Christianity course.
  326. 20:51One of his colleagues, Associate Professor Julia Cerrio,
  327. 20:55or Julia Sarillo, but it spelled S-A-R-E-A-L.
  328. 21:00She's quite surreal.
  329. 21:03She objected to Professor Anderson's course
  330. 21:07by saying this quote,
  331. 21:08"'The syllabus reflects Christianity," I'm sorry.
  332. 21:12Quote, the syllabus reflects a Christian way
  333. 21:14of teaching Christianity,
  334. 21:16which is to say the course does not adequately provide
  335. 21:19the kinds of critical, reflective, disciplinary skills
  336. 21:22that students need to have
  337. 21:23in order to study religious traditions.
  338. 21:26Furthermore, the focus on Western civilization
  339. 21:28is problematic.
  340. 21:29It is true that Christianity
  341. 21:30has been influential in European history,
  342. 21:32it has also been deeply influential elsewhere
  343. 21:35in ways that are completely ignored in the syllabus.
  344. 21:38In quote, heh heh heh.
  345. 21:44So, real also took issue to the way
  346. 21:46that Professor Anderson addresses the Old Testament
  347. 21:51because it did not highlight sufficiently
  348. 21:53the Jewish emphasis on this text.
  349. 21:55Now, what's the name of the course again?
  350. 21:58Introduction to Judaism?
  351. 22:03No, no, no, no, it's introduction to Christianity.
  352. 22:05Hmm.
  353. 22:07Professor Anderson has provided a substantial rebuttal
  354. 22:10to objections to his course, but this is happening.
  355. 22:18And you would think the university is a place
  356. 22:20where ideas are welcomed to be debated,
  357. 22:23navigated, but of course not.
  358. 22:25That's happening.
  359. 22:29It's remarkable, right?
  360. 22:31That you actually have a Christian
  361. 22:32who wants to teach Christianity from a Christian perspective.
  362. 22:37Go figure.
  363. 22:39What a remarkable idea.
  364. 22:42It's such so out of the norm, such an extreme radical position.
  365. 22:49Radical positions you say, oh, I'm so glad you did.
  366. 22:52Let's jog over now to the state of Indiana.
  367. 22:55Now notice I didn't say California.
  368. 22:57I didn't say New York.
  369. 22:58I didn't say the Pacific Northwest, Oregon, Washington.
  370. 23:02No, no, Indiana.
  371. 23:04What happened in Indiana?
  372. 23:05Well, I'm so glad you asked.
  373. 23:08There's a man there by the name of Jonathan C. Richardson who was incarcerated in the state
  374. 23:14penitentiary. All right. John at the sea. I'm sorry. Jonathan C. Richardson. Did I say Anderson?
  375. 23:21Jonathan C. Richardson, who's incarcerated? He is 42 years old. He was convicted in 2001 and is now
  376. 23:29serving a 55 year prison sentence for manually strangling his 11 month old stepdaughter. I'm sorry,
  377. 23:40I should have given a warning. This does require a warning. So if you are a minor, you're listening
  378. 23:45into the show, I don't encourage you to pause the program.
  379. 23:48Let your parents know.
  380. 23:51And Mr. Heves said that I needed to pause and go and ask you
  381. 23:54if I should continue listening or should we listen together?
  382. 23:57And you parents determine when and if and when you want
  383. 23:59your children to listen, particularly to this portion
  384. 24:02of the program.
  385. 24:03Because I'm gonna describe some things
  386. 24:06that you should be the determiner and arbiter
  387. 24:09as to when your children hear this type of stuff
  388. 24:11and not me.
  389. 24:13All right, in light of that disclaimer,
  390. 24:17Jonathan Richardson is serving a 55-year prison sentence
  391. 24:21for strangling his 11 month old stepdaughter.
  392. 24:25So it wasn't his biological child.
  393. 24:27It was the child of the woman that he was with at the time.
  394. 24:34All right?
  395. 24:36In August of last year,
  396. 24:38the American Civil Liberties Union sued
  397. 24:40the Indiana Department of Corrections.
  398. 24:44You wanna know why?
  399. 24:45Because Jonathan Richardson began to identify himself
  400. 24:49as Autumn Cordeliaoni, who is a woman,
  401. 24:54and to be even more specific, a Muslim woman.
  402. 24:58Yes, yes, yes.
  403. 25:00John of the Richardson is now identifying himself
  404. 25:02as a Muslim woman, and he sued the Indiana Department
  405. 25:07of Corrections to demand that the state
  406. 25:13pay for his gender reassignment surgeries.
  407. 25:20To have surgery on his genitalia,
  408. 25:22He's demanding that the state pay for it.
  409. 25:26I kid you not, I kid you not listen to and watch clip number one go.
  410. 25:33Though the general assembly passed a bill banning these kinds of surgeries and prisons in 2023,
  411. 25:39the judge rules gender affirming surgery is necessary for some individuals with gender
  412. 25:44dysphoria.
  413. 25:48Attorney General Todd Rokita who just so happens to be in Evansville on Wednesday is
  414. 25:53surprise with the decision. He says this goes against the state legislature and what the majority
  415. 25:59of Hoosiers want. He also says the surgeries come at the taxpayers expense. State statute
  416. 26:06seemed to me to be the right answer to that problem because again the people clearly don't want
  417. 26:12their tax dollars going for what they believe and I agree with them these nonsensical surgeries.
  418. 26:18Now, if someone really has gender dysphoria, there's, there's treatment for that.
  419. 26:23You don't have to affirm that disorder.
  420. 26:26Yeah.
  421. 26:28So the state of Indiana last year passed legislation that explicitly states that the state government
  422. 26:37shall not use taxpayer money to pay for sex reassignment surgeries.
  423. 26:48Yet, Jonathan Richardson, via the ACLU who filed a lawsuit on his behalf,
  424. 26:57One, at the federal district court level, I kid you not.
  425. 27:02United States District Court judge, Richard Young in Indiana,
  426. 27:07ruled in Jonathan Richardson's favor saying it is cruel
  427. 27:12and unusual punishment for him to not be able
  428. 27:17to have genitalia surgery paid for by the Indiana taxpayers.
  429. 27:23Can you believe that?
  430. 27:25Now, I want you to know several other things.
  431. 27:28The state is providing gender dysphoria treatment for Jonathan Richardson already.
  432. 27:38Richardson has been provided.
  433. 27:42Get ready for it.
  434. 27:45Panties, makeup, and form-fitting clothing to wear in prison.
  435. 27:55Mm-hmm.
  436. 27:58But Richardson has said, but he still has not enjoyed enough because unless he
  437. 28:03can have this surgery, he is continuing to face depression and anxiety.
  438. 28:08And you have, I'm most of us would have thought, before I went to law school, I certainly would
  439. 28:18have thought this, that a federal judge would be a serious student of the law.
  440. 28:29Yet this judge is so willing to corrupt the legal system in our country, that he'll say
  441. 28:34that the eighth amendment protection against cruel and unusual punishment extends to providing
  442. 28:39tax payer funded sex chain surgeries.
  443. 28:44How long do you expect the state to be solving if that takes room?
  444. 28:51Thankfully, this is the district court.
  445. 28:53The case will be appealed.
  446. 28:54The attorney general for the state of Indiana has said, but you literally have a judge who
  447. 29:04will rule this.
  448. 29:06You know, maybe I'm wrong, but I think that the depression and anxiety he may be facing
  449. 29:11in prison is because other prisoners find out he's strangled a baby.
  450. 29:17I don't think that had nothing to do.
  451. 29:18What kind of draws you in and all that kind of stuff.
  452. 29:22This is where we are and I'm just highlighting this as just the latest craziness guys. This is how
  453. 29:30This is a judge and oh by the way if you thought this judge or some young whippers napper. He's not
  454. 29:37Judge Richard Young is 71 years old
  455. 29:40Was appointed to the bench by Bill Clinton in 1998
  456. 29:44You know you heard the saying is no no fool like an old fool
  457. 29:49You know as a society we should be able to glean wisdom from our more seasoned
  458. 29:55Elders in our community instead you have a judge
  459. 29:58wearing a robe sitting on the bench that saying it is cruel and unusual punishment
  460. 30:05for a man not to be able to be able to cut off his genitalia.
  461. 30:12Guys the whole head is sick and you're not a sense of it.
  462. 30:16Pull ahead. I'll give you one more. You're like no, give me enough. You give me no more. No moss.
  463. 30:24I understand that man. I don't want to give you any more, but I will tell me you might have saw this story.
  464. 30:34Somehow, Paul Pelosi just happens to be the most skilled investor ever.
  465. 30:43Listen to him watch clip number two.
  466. 30:44Go.
  467. 30:45At the time, Poss Pelosi sold Visa stock.
  468. 30:49This is what the Post is saying, and there was no public indication that an antitrust lawsuit
  469. 30:53against the company was imminent.
  470. 30:54That's the New York Post article right there.
  471. 30:56The former House Speaker has a nine-figure network because of her, obviously, her husband's
  472. 31:01best investment portfolio.
  473. 31:03and I apologize to not have that screenshot,
  474. 31:04but it shows the transaction or the filing,
  475. 31:07because obviously they have to say
  476. 31:09what stock transactions they are putting in.
  477. 31:11She files it under spouse, the screenshot shows,
  478. 31:14the post on X, and that it was July 3rd.
  479. 31:17At that time, you know, the post is saying,
  480. 31:20look, it was not widely known
  481. 31:21that there was gonna be any pending lawsuit against Visa,
  482. 31:24so who knew what and when?
  483. 31:26And this is Paul Pelosi,
  484. 31:27a lot of it's been questioned a lot about his stock,
  485. 31:29the timing of his stock sales.
  486. 31:31Yeah.
  487. 31:33So I hit a disrespectful music.
  488. 31:35I'll pick this up on the other side of the break
  489. 31:36and we'll get to your calls.
  490. 31:38The number is 888-589-8840.
  491. 31:41I wanna talk to you about what has been like for you
  492. 31:44in this to be kind, unusual election season.
  493. 31:50How has it been for you in having conversations
  494. 31:52about it with your friends and family members?
  495. 31:55But Paul Pelosi just happened to sell
  496. 32:00about half a million to a million dollars worth of stuff
  497. 32:03In Visa, a couple months before the Department of Justice announces an antitrust lawsuit against Visa
  498. 32:12for Visa using its power as a monopoly over Debracar transaction to punish its own customers and even business rivals
  499. 32:22who use rival payment processes more on the other side of the break.
  500. 32:26Those who place their faith in Jesus are elevated to an extraordinary position.
  501. 32:35as co-heirs with Christ we share in His inheritance.
  502. 32:38The Gospel is the ultimate dignity giver,
  503. 32:41elevating the unworthy to unimaginable heights.
  504. 32:44Our lives should reflect this dignity,
  505. 32:46empowering us to extend the same grace and love to others
  506. 32:49that has been so generously given to us.
  507. 32:52I'm Jordan Shambly and you can read the rest of the Gospel

  509. 32:58Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Common Terrets
  510. 33:08are available at eFR.net.
  511. 33:10back to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
  512. 33:15Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here.
  513. 33:18I get it, man. This stuff is not fun.
  514. 33:21I don't enjoy discussing this, but this is where we are.
  515. 33:26And if you're wondering how I got to this point
  516. 33:30to present this, all of this information,
  517. 33:33I've been thinking about this kind of stuff for a while now,
  518. 33:35but even yesterday when I shared that clip from Kelly Hyman,
  519. 33:39who literally when she was unable to explain Kamala Harris's plan.
  520. 33:45And when Kelly Hyman said, well, yeah, but the price gouging thing.
  521. 33:49And then the reporter just simply asked, is price gouging happening now?
  522. 33:53And her answer literally was, and then the reporter says, wait, you don't know.
  523. 34:04This is a you, you keep interrupting me.
  524. 34:06And it's quite rude because I'm a woman.
  525. 34:08Like really? That's, that's where we are.
  526. 34:15That's where we are.
  527. 34:16So getting to this Paul Palos back to this Paul Pelosi thing a couple months before the DOJ announces publicly
  528. 34:26its lawsuit against Visa and as a result of the announcement of the lawsuit immediately Visa struck Visa stock drops
  529. 34:35five and a half percent the Paul Pelosi's already sold his
  530. 34:40We have this information because the tech entrepreneur has this
  531. 34:46This X account
  532. 34:49artist's phone then on his Twitter,
  533. 34:52named Nancy Pelosi Stocktrader.
  534. 34:54So he follows all Nancy Pelosi's trades
  535. 34:58that are done by her husband.
  536. 35:00So she says, I'm not trading anything
  537. 35:01but my husband is trading all this time.
  538. 35:04And he's overwhelming, primarily because of his stock
  539. 35:06involvement.
  540. 35:09There's literally an investment account that's dedicated
  541. 35:14to doing nothing but mimicking whatever Paul Pelosi's stocks
  542. 35:19transfers are.
  543. 35:21and it performs consistently above the S&P index.
  544. 35:27Yet, with all the talking and thanks to Senator Josh Hawley
  545. 35:33and others, they're trying to root out trading
  546. 35:35by Congress members, but it always runs into
  547. 35:39bipartisan opposition.
  548. 35:42Our Republicans objecting to this?
  549. 35:47It seems we understand that that's kinda unscrupulous.
  550. 35:51You guys have information, all access to all kinds
  551. 35:53of information that if any normal citizen had that information,
  552. 35:56it would be deemed insider trading.
  553. 36:00Now, I'm not saying that we have any evidence that Paul Pelosi specifically was made aware
  554. 36:05and notified of the lawsuit, but it's kind of odd.
  555. 36:09This keeps happening with Paul Pelosi.
  556. 36:14He's making moves in the stock market.
  557. 36:17Then all of a sudden, major information that government entities have access to, but regular
  558. 36:21citizens don't have access to.
  559. 36:22And he keeps winning.
  560. 36:25Keep winning.
  561. 36:28All these types of things, man, have coalesced with my, to create my concern.
  562. 36:39Do we have, as American people, have we had enough yet?
  563. 36:45You know, you had lots of people in the 60s and the 70s that talks about the two-tier system
  564. 36:53of justice, you know, the coin-tail pro-investigations and all these other kinds of things.
  565. 36:58And then now we see, oh, yeah, the same department of justice.
  566. 37:03President Trump said his wires would tap.
  567. 37:04They mocked him in the media.
  568. 37:06And then we learned what?
  569. 37:07Yeah, they, they, they were spying on him
  570. 37:10before he was even president.
  571. 37:13You got people in the Department of Justice
  572. 37:15heading up the counterintelligence division,
  573. 37:18filing fake Faisal warrants to spy on American citizens.
  574. 37:24You got Lisa Page and Peter Strapp
  575. 37:28conducting their adulterous affairs
  576. 37:29and their unifying moment is their hatred for President Trump.
  577. 37:33And so they are openly discussing between themselves
  578. 37:36that they will ensure that Mr. Trump doesn't become president
  579. 37:39because they have an insurance policy.
  580. 37:41They have an insurance policy.
  581. 37:45Yet the whole country was lambasted.
  582. 37:50With all the rusting collusion, rusting collusion,
  583. 37:52rusting collusion, rusting collusion.
  584. 37:59You got people like this dude in prison.
  585. 38:03He just murdered a baby.
  586. 38:06But I guess people that like murdering babies in the womb
  587. 38:08probably aren't as concerned
  588. 38:10with murdering babies outside of the womb.
  589. 38:13But you have a judge who'll say,
  590. 38:15Yeah, we need to make the state pray for.
  591. 38:19I mean, pay for.
  592. 38:22We're in a desperate state.
  593. 38:29And it is making me, what will it take?
  594. 38:31What will it take for us to change course?
  595. 38:37I mean, are we so dissuaded by the bread and circus?
  596. 38:45You know, I will respond, you know,
  597. 38:46but it's football season, you know, it's football season.
  598. 38:53Have we been so manipulated to buy our context
  599. 38:57that the types of wherewithal to do,
  600. 39:06that's just left us.
  601. 39:08You've heard the old adage,
  602. 39:11that difficult times make strong men,
  603. 39:14strong men creates good times,
  604. 39:16good times make weak men, that cyclical phenomenon.
  605. 39:21Are we living in the throes of that right now?
  606. 39:26And what has your conversations,
  607. 39:29what have your conversations been like
  608. 39:31in your neck of the woods,
  609. 39:33and discussing the insanity that is our current electoral season.
  610. 39:37We'll start in West Virginia,
  611. 39:40to where Ed is on the line.
  612. 39:42Can't get it up.
  613. 39:47Ed from West Virginia, thank you for calling the Hamilton Corner.
  614. 39:50Welcome to the program.
  615. 39:51Thank you, thank you for your program.
  616. 39:55So I'm 69 years old.
  617. 39:57I have a friend of mine who is 34.
  618. 39:59I've known him since he was 10.
  619. 40:01He's a college graduate, master's degree.
  620. 40:05I thought brought up as a Christian, like I said,
  621. 40:10as a friend of mine, through a family.
  622. 40:13And but he's changed his opinion
  623. 40:16about how God is and all that stuff.
  624. 40:19So when it came down to a conversation,
  625. 40:22we have a very friendly relationship.
  626. 40:24But when it came down to a conversation about the president,
  627. 40:31he says, I don't like President Trump.
  628. 40:33And I said, why don't like him either?
  629. 40:36And I said, but why don't you like him?
  630. 40:37He really said because he treats people bad,
  631. 40:41he says bad things.
  632. 40:43And I said, you know, I don't, I said, yeah,
  633. 40:48I said he says bad things and I agree with you there.
  634. 40:51I said, but he's done really good stuff with the country.
  635. 40:53And that's why I like him.
  636. 40:56So that's where we are with this.
  637. 40:59I don't know how to sway him.
  638. 41:02He's a millennial, obviously, he's 34 years old.
  639. 41:04And I just think, I don't know that they have a thing of feelings versus statistics.
  640. 41:12So that's how that's where I stand on this.
  641. 41:15Very interesting.
  642. 41:16So I have one follow up and I'm definitely not going to challenge you or him in anything
  643. 41:20about it, but oh, he's gone.
  644. 41:23Okay.
  645. 41:24Well, I wanted to ask if he had any assertion other than personality because based on what
  646. 41:33What you said is objection to Mr. Trump was based on personality.
  647. 41:38And of course everybody's entitled to, you know, their position on the matter, no doubt
  648. 41:44about it.
  649. 41:45But it didn't seem anything was said about policy, the actual role of the president in
  650. 41:53function, which I thought was interesting.
  651. 41:56Okay, we'll go next to the state of Texas to where David is on the line.
  652. 42:03David, thank you for calling a Hamilton Corner.
  653. 42:05Welcome to the program.
  654. 42:06Thanks for the call.
  655. 42:11And if it makes you feel any better, there's a lot of misery out here, commensurating with
  656. 42:17you based on your synopsis of where we are in the world right now, brother.
  657. 42:23Well, I don't know should I take solace in that or not?
  658. 42:26I don't enjoy it at all.
  659. 42:28That's a challenge, right?
  660. 42:29Yeah.
  661. 42:30Yeah.
  662. 42:31Yeah.
  663. 42:32So I'll give you a quick down and dirty.
  664. 42:34So obviously, I live in West Texas,
  665. 42:37you know, and we live in the height of
  666. 42:41foul in the air for America, right?
  667. 42:43I mean, we are the center of the antithesis
  668. 42:48of global warming.
  669. 42:50So you might expect, what a bit of,
  670. 42:54in our area in a conservative bubble,
  671. 42:58but I have a lot of family in Austin,
  672. 43:00and Austin and all the big cities in Texas
  673. 43:03pretty much you know that's the bubbles that sway the state and so it's amazing
  674. 43:11it's just actually this previous caller made a great point because it's all it
  675. 43:16seems like it's all about you know Trump because he's such a mean guy and he sent
  676. 43:21mean tweets, quanwa and nobody has any ability to do critical thinking about
  677. 43:28what is going on in our country? And it's tragic.
  678. 43:34So, what would you attribute that David? I mean, because maybe you can help me with the
  679. 43:39question I wanted to ask the previous caller. His young counterpart, 34-year-old man, who
  680. 43:45he'd known since he was 10. But it may be a commonality because he mentioned that he's
  681. 43:51kind of changed his position theologically, which has resulted and maybe contributed to
  682. 43:56to his political perception, right?
  683. 43:59But he said everything had to do
  684. 44:01with not liking Trump the person.
  685. 44:03But what about policy?
  686. 44:07What would say you?
  687. 44:10I totally agree.
  688. 44:11What's the root of it?
  689. 44:13That is a puzzling question.
  690. 44:16You know, I don't think we can underestimate,
  691. 44:18I know you're a homeschooler,
  692. 44:19I don't think you can underestimate
  693. 44:22the dumbing down that's gone on across the board
  694. 44:26where people have, they lose the ability
  695. 44:30for critical thinking they might hear a political statement
  696. 44:33and they just, I mean, I hear it and I go,
  697. 44:36that is total BS from the degenerate party.
  698. 44:40And, you know, it's like, sometimes I feel like you,
  699. 44:45you're having an argument with what I used to call
  700. 44:48a normal Democrat, we can't even agree
  701. 44:51that the color of the sky is blue.
  702. 44:54You know, I mean, we have lost it and there's like, there's again, there's no agreement about
  703. 45:01this is good for the country and this is bad. It's about, you know, it's about this personality stuff.
  704. 45:08And it's, I don't know, it really, it's really concerning. And I told your screener, the thing that
  705. 45:15concerns me the most, even in the state of Texas, because, you know, you all do the electoral math,
  706. 45:22we all know if we were ever to get flipped on a big red state,
  707. 45:29it would be very difficult going forward to turn things around.
  708. 45:33And well said, very, very well said.
  709. 45:37You know, and it probably shouldn't be all that surprising to us
  710. 45:40that when you have the combination of things
  711. 45:43like social, emotional learning that's advocated in,
  712. 45:46you know, the government indoctrination complexes
  713. 45:48and you have, you know, the selfie generation,
  714. 45:51You have the you're enough communications
  715. 45:55to where everything, the social currency
  716. 45:58of our society really, really is personality.
  717. 46:03And the appearance of likability,
  718. 46:07the appearance of likability,
  719. 46:10but no willingness to consider what will this do
  720. 46:15in terms of the nation.
  721. 46:23Back to the phone lines.
  722. 46:24We'll go next to the state of Mississippi,
  723. 46:26where Stacy is on the line.
  724. 46:28Stacy, thank you for calling the Hamilton corner.
  725. 46:30Welcome to the program.
  726. 46:34Stacy, are you there?
  727. 46:36Yeah.
  728. 46:37All right, welcome to the show.
  729. 46:38I'm doing well.
  730. 46:39Thank you for calling.
  731. 46:44I just called your screener.
  732. 46:45I'm just kind of curious, the fellow in Indiana
  733. 46:48that wants to decapitate himself.
  734. 46:54What happens if he does become a she-mail?
  735. 47:01And is he gonna expect to be placed in a different facility?
  736. 47:08I mean, that's a good question, Stacy.
  737. 47:10Now it is, it remains to be seen
  738. 47:12that it's not a part of the petition,
  739. 47:13but we have seen other instances of this,
  740. 47:17I can California and other states,
  741. 47:18where regardless of the surgery,
  742. 47:21the application is then made to be placed
  743. 47:23in a female prison.
  744. 47:24And you know, I should have mentioned that Mr. Richardson
  745. 47:29has already sued the state of Indiana
  746. 47:31because he wanted to wear a hijab while in prison.
  747. 47:36So, yeah, 55 years is a lot of time,
  748. 47:39especially if you got people like the ACLU
  749. 47:41that's willing to do your legal bidding for free.
  750. 47:43So, he hadn't stated that affirmative to the yet
  751. 47:46in any official proceeding,
  752. 47:48but it seems that that may be on the horizon.
  753. 47:51Let's try to get one more in.
  754. 47:53We'll go back to Texas where I believe Olin is on the phone.
  755. 47:55Olin, we have about 20 seconds.
  756. 47:57Thank you for calling this show.
  757. 47:58Go right ahead.
  758. 48:00Yes, I think the main problem is there's too many people with
  759. 48:05unchurcocized arts and you're not being a gospel soul or a stand.
  760. 48:13You can have all clean magazines, but the name of the song is
  761. 48:18Dust on the Bible.
  762. 48:19Love what it wants to read it.
  763. 48:21Well said, Dust on the Bible.
  764. 48:24Clean magazines, but Dust on the Bible.
  765. 48:28Wow.
  766. 48:29What an idea.
  767. 48:29Thank you guys for calling into the program.
  768. 48:32Lord willing, we'll be back tomorrow.
  769. 48:35We'll continue the conversation.
  770. 48:36You'll have a wonderful evening.
  771. 48:37About God's grace, we'll continue until He calls us home,
  772. 48:41or until He returns.
  773. 48:42Good evening.
