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 Corner 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. 0:21God 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. 0:29And now, the Hamilton Corner.
11. 0:33Good evening everyone.
12. 0:34Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio.
13. 0:37I'm your host Abraham Hamilton, the third joined by the corner contingent right across from me.
14. 0:42My man a hundred grand Mr. Bobby, er, er, er, er, er, er, er, er, er, er, er, er, er, er, er, er, er, er, er, er.
15. 0:46And in the screening room, produce extraordinary often imitated but never duplicated the real J. Mac ladies and gentlemen, and we have
16. 0:54your friendly neighborhood Wooda Hallick perpetually in recovery. Still, Badwadjust is calling the recovering Wooda Hallick.
17. 1:03Mr. Marty Sparks ladies and gentlemen, lighten up the dark from there.
18. 1:07I want to ask you to pray for
19. 1:12our fellow citizens along the Gulf Coast in Florida
20. 1:16Georgia and the areas there
21. 1:18As this hurricane is barreling down there in their direction
22. 1:23It's predicted to be a category three storm at this juncture
23. 1:28They're all manner of tornado warnings
24. 1:31that are developing
25. 1:34I know firsthand
26. 1:35what a storm like that can do. And I just just pray for the people that had the area that they
27. 1:46wouldn't, that would be a minimal, really no loss of life and the impact would be minimal there.
28. 1:55It's just those folks in that portion of our country are just heavy on my heart this evening.
29. 2:01At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you are making your transition from your part-time
30. 2:06jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs where you cultivate an outcome.
31. 2:11And as you do so, I want to remind you to do it with intentionality, understanding the
32. 2:16primacy that God places on the family.
33. 2:21So much could be said about what's happening in our country.
34. 2:24It's we have reached a place that many of us never imagined what happened here.
35. 2:31We read about the kinds of things happening in other countries before and we would think
36. 2:37about how could it get to that point and then we're living in Sanity.
37. 2:42I don't have a clip of this to show and I get a lot of these stories and videos.
38. 2:48Do you realize that there are high schools across our country that literally have litter
39. 2:53boxes and things in the hallways because children are identifying themselves as furries and animal
40. 3:01I'm, it's crazy.
41. 3:03And you have the adults apparently going along
42. 3:05with some instances, it's not happening
43. 3:07in every single high school, of course,
44. 3:09but it's happening.
45. 3:12You got children coming to school dressed up as animals
46. 3:16and trying to walk around on all fours
47. 3:18and the administrators want to be tolerant and inclusive.
48. 3:25That's insane, that's insane.
49. 3:31But we're here.
50. 3:32We must be about our father's business.
51. 3:40We must. We must.
52. 3:42Look at the things around us, man.
53. 3:48It confirms the fact that the scripture is true.
54. 3:50It's a sad state of affairs.
55. 3:56And in many places, professing believers have no clue what it means to make disciples.
56. 4:01Great concern for our nation.
57. 4:07And our most enduring need is repentance.
58. 4:11But how can our nation embrace repentance if we didn't recognize we need to repent?
59. 4:16You know, George Barna's most recent worldview survey said the according to the data he compiled
60. 4:26was their exception to this.
61. 4:27But generally speaking, professing evangelical Christians are more likely to be influenced
62. 4:33by the world around us than we are to influence it.
63. 4:38Do you see evidence of that where you live?
64. 4:40Is that true where you live?
65. 4:42Do you see that?
66. 4:43I see it.
67. 4:45I see it.
68. 4:50And I just can't shake where I'm going to go in Scripture today, revisiting where we were
69. 4:55yesterday in Jonah chapter 3 verses 1 through 9.
70. 5:00You know, Jonah didn't want to go to Nineveh because of his hatred for the Ninevehites.
71. 5:06And it's remarkable that we have this account in Scripture because when you learn who the
72. 5:11Ninevehites were at the time of Jonah.
73. 5:13I mean, this was, you want to see a hedonistic people, a violent people, a savage, barbaric
74. 5:20people, a murderous, murderous bloodthirsty people.
75. 5:29I mean, I already said a hedonistic, a lascivious people, a
76. 5:33people that if you were to stop and think, wait a minute, there's
77. 5:40no way these people would turn from their wicked ways.
78. 5:43But then when the Lord gets Jonah's attention and says, Hey, I
79. 5:45want you to go.
80. 5:46Jonah knows something that most people at the time wouldn't know.
81. 5:49Like, no, I'm not going there because I know if God is sending
82. 5:52me, these people are going to hear what the Lord has to say and
83. 5:54going to turn and I'm I just can't shake what what what was going on in the Assyrian empire of
84. 6:05which Nineveh was a capital city that caused there to be such a a a priming of the soil of their
85. 6:13heart so to speak that would enable them to respond readily to Jonah's message of condemnation by
86. 6:19the way you know could it be that their inundation with hedonism and being love as a pleasure
87. 6:30and had led to kind of a bankruptcy
88. 6:34and an evacuous internal disposition.
89. 6:37Could it be?
90. 6:38Could it be?
91. 6:41Jonah chapter three, verses one through nine.
92. 6:43This is what the word of God says.
93. 6:45Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time saying,
94. 6:49arise, go to Nineveh, the great city and proclaim to it
95. 6:53the proclamation which I'm going to tell you.
96. 6:57So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh according
97. 7:00to the word of the Lord.
98. 7:03Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, a three-day walk.
99. 7:07Then Jonah began to go through the city one day's walk,
100. 7:10and he cried out and said,
101. 7:12"'Yet 40 days in Nineveh will be overthrown,
102. 7:17"'then the people of Nineveh believed in God,
103. 7:20"'and they called a fast and put on sackcloth
104. 7:23"'from the greatest to the least of them.
105. 7:25"'When the word reached the king of Nineveh,
106. 7:27"'he arose from his throne,
107. 7:29"'laid aside his robe from him,
108. 7:31"'covered himself with sackcloth
109. 7:34and sat on the ashes.
110. 7:36He issued a proclamation and it said,
111. 7:38in Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles,
112. 7:41do not let man, beast, herd, or flock taste a thing.
113. 7:46Do not let them eat or drink water,
114. 7:48but both man and beast,
115. 7:50but both man and beast must be covered with sackcloth,
116. 7:54and let men call on God earnestly
117. 7:56that each may turn from his wicked way,
118. 7:58and from the violence which is in his hands.
119. 8:04Who knows?
120. 8:06God made turn and relent and withdraw his burning anger so that we will not pair.
121. 8:18He struck me with reading this that the turning the the contrition began not with
122. 8:23a king, but it began with the people.
123. 8:27I am persuaded.
124. 8:28One of the major problems that we have is that we think the Lord wants to work in
125. 8:33our nation from a top down perspective, like start with the government or leaders,
126. 8:37then get to the people and I really don't believe that's the way the law wants to work.
127. 8:40I believe in a country that we have, the Constitution of Republic with Republic with
128. 8:46democratic features that very, very plainly and clearly and often the candidate pool is
129. 8:52a reflection of the people.
130. 8:59The contrition began not with the king, it began with the people.
131. 9:05Says in the verse five, then the people of Nineveh believed in God and they call, and
132. 9:09they, and they, and they called the fast.
133. 9:12The people called the fast and put on sack cloth.
134. 9:21And after that, it already started.
135. 9:24Verse six says, when the word reached the king,
136. 9:27then he arose from his throne, laid aside his robe,
137. 9:32covered himself with sackcloth and sat on the ashes.
138. 9:38And then he says in verse eight, this is what the king said,
139. 9:40but both man and beast must be covered with sackcloth
140. 9:42and let men call on God earnestly
141. 9:46that each may turn from his wicked way.
142. 9:52It was an individual exercise.
143. 9:54It sounds very similar.
144. 9:56second chronicle chapter seven verse 14 sounds very similar when Jeremiah went to
145. 10:05the Potter's house let each man be aware of the plague of his own heart the king
146. 10:11seems here in verse eight to acknowledge that the individual resident and
147. 10:15citizen of the Assyrian Empire resident and citizen in Nineveh each had a wicked
148. 10:22way and from the violence which was in his hands gives an indication of what
149. 10:33the populace was like, I cannot help but thinking if the Lord
150. 10:40regrets the Ninevites to repent. Could he do the same for us?
151. 10:47And I know many of some people are listening right now is like,
152. 10:49Abe, you are, you are gone pick home because people here ain't even
153. 10:55thinking nothing about what you're talking about. And I understand
154. 11:01that. But I'm pretty sure there weren't many in Nineveh who
155. 11:06were thinking about it either at the time. I'm pretty sure I
156. 11:19I can't help but think about this,
157. 11:21and the Lord keeps bringing me back to this.
158. 11:27And this is something that has to persist
159. 11:29beyond election times, man.
160. 11:33What will it take for the people of God
161. 11:35to share the Lord's heart for our nation,
162. 11:38for our fellow country?
163. 11:40Will the prophet and man again,
164. 11:41the whole world yet loses soul?
165. 11:44What would the prophet America to have an election turn out
166. 11:47the way the people want it yet the people remain unrepentant?
167. 11:52I believe with all that is transpiring
168. 11:55that the Lord is really trying to get the attention
169. 11:56the people of God in our country and confronting us with the reality of whether or not we have
170. 12:04divided loyalty, whether we have been overcome by our dollar tree.
171. 12:12What are the foremost concerns of our hearts?
172. 12:15What are the things we give ourselves to?
173. 12:17What are the things that we are most invested in?
174. 12:19And in light of all of those things, the grace of God is still sufficient in our day and the
175. 12:31blood of Jesus just as potent today as it has always been for people who will turn to him.
176. 12:41You and I cannot predetermine what God would do with our contrition.
177. 12:49We cannot predetermine how God will respond to our obedience.
178. 12:53We cannot.
179. 12:55We cannot.
180. 12:56It's very easy to get the long wagging finger of accusation out and pointed what everybody
181. 13:05else is doing.
182. 13:06And I'm not one of these people that will lie and try to twist the scripture in the scripture said judge not that's not what it says
183. 13:15Subscript says make sure you judge it externally with the same measure you apply to yourself in turn
184. 13:19We have a responsibility to judge but we have a responsibility to judge ourselves first
185. 13:24The gospel has advanced in the face of all manner of difficulty
186. 13:36Jesus said that the gates of hell will not prevail against this church
187. 13:39The Lord also included warnings in his scripture particularly those like dude around him in chapter eight
188. 13:44Be careful. Be careful when you have abundance. Be careful. When you have plenty of food. Be careful.
189. 13:51When you have eaten and you're full. Be careful when you're hers and your flocks have multiplied.
190. 13:55Be careful when you have silver and you have gold. Be careful when you have abundance.
191. 14:01Because that is the time when the other spectrum of temptation could be
192. 14:07be effective.
193. 14:10And mankind gets lost in the sauce and begin to live by my own hands out of me.
194. 14:16And we forget God.
195. 14:20By and large, we have forgotten God in our country.
196. 14:24And it's not just a casual, for absent-mindedness.
197. 14:28It has been an aggressive, rebellious rejection.
198. 14:34And much of what we're facing are the consequences of when the people turn away from God.
199. 14:38And just as an enterprise demonstrated, God is gracious.
200. 14:44And if we would return to Him in repentance and faith, we cannot pre-determine how the Lord
201. 14:51will respond to our contrition.
202. 14:54You can't set this election out.
203. 15:02I know a lot of Christians do.
204. 15:04This is true that God is sovereign.
205. 15:06I tell you that all the time.
206. 15:08But they fancy that somehow that is separate from their personal responsibility.
207. 15:12We are His hands and feet.
208. 15:14And so that's why we have to do what's right.
209. 15:17The Bible says to him that Noah could do good and just doesn't do it.
210. 15:22To him it is sin.
211. 15:23Sandy Rios 24-7 with your host Sandy Rios.
212. 15:27Listen on the podcast page at AFR.net.
213. 15:36Shiting lightning to the darkness.
214. 15:39This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
215. 15:43Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here.
216. 15:49New York City Mayor, Eric Adams, has got some terrible news from the Department of Justice.
217. 16:03He has now become the first sitting mayor of New York City to be indicted by the federal
218. 16:10government to be indicted period.
219. 16:13This comes after the feds raided his home, raided several businesses, not businesses,
220. 16:17I'm sorry, offices that he had.
221. 16:22indictment has come down. Eric Adams has been charged with illegally
222. 16:28funneling money into his mayoral campaign in exchange for approval of
223. 16:33favors for the Turkish government like the Turkish consulate in Manhattan and
224. 16:39other things. It is being reported that the mayor is facing a charge as a charge
225. 16:46of acting as an unregistered foreign agent after accepting donations from a
226. 16:52foreign entity. It is interesting that this is all transpired after the rating of his
227. 17:01home and shortly before shortly after being notified that charges were forthcoming against
228. 17:09the sitting mayor of New York City. He released a video for the citizens of New York, but he
229. 17:17did it on the world where I would have so I guess he wanted everybody to get access to
230. 17:21it. Listen to and watch clip number one.
231. 17:23No. It is now my belief that the federal government intends to charge me with crimes.
232. 17:31If so, these charges will be entirely false based on lies, but they would not be surprising.
233. 17:41I always knew that if I stood my ground for all of you, that I would be a target, and a target,
234. 17:48I became. For months, leaks and rumors have been aimed at me in an attempt to undermine my credibility
235. 17:57and paint me as guilty. Just this past week, they searched the home of our new police commissioner,
236. 18:04looking for documents from 20 years ago. If I'm charged, I know I am innocent. I will be
237. 18:12in the media trials so the New Yorkers can hear the truth.
238. 18:18New Yorkers know my story.
239. 18:20They know where I come from.
240. 18:22I have been fighting injustice my entire life.
241. 18:27That fight has continued as your mayor.
242. 18:32Now, if I am charged, many may say I should resign
243. 18:37because I cannot manage the city while fighting the case.
244. 18:42I can also understand every day New Yorkers will be concerned that I cannot do my job while
245. 18:48I face accusation.
246. 18:51Make no mistake, you elected me to lead this city and lead it.
247. 18:56I will.
248. 18:58So that was the video that Eric Adams put out before the indictment was formally released,
249. 19:03but he knew what what normally happens with the federal government is that they notify you
250. 19:07when you're going to be charged and they make arrangements for turn ins and that kind
251. 19:13of things. So him saying, well, maybe charged. Like you knew he knew he was going to be charged.
252. 19:23What is going on in New York? You know, we just had the story about the Lieutenant Governor's office.
253. 19:28Now Governor, Kat Hochl, who has Chinese spies, what's going on there? It is interesting. And I mean,
254. 19:36I'll just point this out. Many of you may, many of you may recall when Eric Adams took office,
255. 19:42he was a passionate advocate for it being a sanctuary city.
256. 19:46Do you remember that?
257. 19:49Then the Mike Tyson theorem proved itself again.
258. 19:53All of a sudden the southern border wasn't all the way so southern anymore.
259. 20:00And you had in Eric Adams's parlons, we have immigrants, not only from Venezuela, then no
260. 20:08no longer Vinzuela, but from Russia, from West Africa, from all over.
261. 20:20Lots of people say that was the beginning of the regime turning against Eric Adams.
262. 20:31Listen to and watch clip number two.
263. 20:33Go.
264. 20:34Go support.
265. 20:35And let me tell you something New York is never in my life have I had a problem that I
266. 20:42I did not see an Indian too.
267. 20:45I don't see an Indian to this.
268. 20:48I don't see an Indian to this.
269. 20:50This issue will destroy New York City.
270. 20:55Destroy New York City.
271. 20:57We get in 10,000 migrants a month.
272. 21:03One time we would just get in Venezuela.
273. 21:07Now we get Ecuador.
274. 21:08Now we get Russia speaking coming through Mexico.
275. 21:11Now we get in Western Africa.
276. 21:14Now we get in people from all over the globe
277. 21:16made their minds up and they're going to come through the southern part of the border and come
278. 21:20into New York City. And everyone is saying is New York City's problem. Every community in this city
279. 21:29is going to be impacted. We have a 12 billion dollar deficit that we're going to have to cut
280. 21:36every service in this city is going to be impacted. All of us.
281. 21:43Now he was he was with it, you know, he was with it. Send them to us. We're hospitable.
282. 21:52We're Americans. All right. All right. Then he gets this 10,000 a month. He said migrants
283. 21:59are destroying New York City. He started to say that. Right. Before I go on, let me mention
284. 22:04I want to continue today. We're going to open the phone lines in the third segment because
285. 22:07we had several people still holding to come on because I want to continue the conversation
286. 22:11we were having about how is it going in your portion of the country when you discuss this
287. 22:18election season with your friends or loved ones or neighbors or people in your communities.
288. 22:24I want to hear how that is going.
289. 22:25So we're going to continue that.
290. 22:27The number to call is 888-589-8840.
291. 22:32The number again is 888-589-8840.
292. 22:35We're going to continue that conversation with callers in the third segment.
293. 22:40I want you to be aware of that.
294. 22:42Um, but after the video I just shared with you when Eric Adams was like,
295. 22:47whoa, and, and those of you who don't know what the Mike Tyson theorem is,
296. 22:52Mike Tyson says, everybody has a plan to like a hit in the face.
297. 23:01Everybody has a.
298. 23:04Y'all should have saw Bobby.
299. 23:05You almost lost it.
300. 23:06He won the second.
301. 23:11Everybody, everybody, everybody, everyone, everyone has a plan.
302. 23:14Don't you have a plan? Everyone has a plan.
303. 23:17Until I get hit in the face.
304. 23:21Eric Adams had a plan. New York is going to be a sanctuary city.
305. 23:28And then he got hit in the face. Why do you have a face?
306. 23:33Migrants are destroying this city.
307. 23:36So then Eric Adams had the audacity to take his complaint to DC.
308. 23:41I see not many people saw this.
309. 23:44He went to DC expecting to have
310. 23:47Federal support for his efforts in New York City, but in his own words, he is not optimistic
311. 23:58when he arrived back home from Washington, DC.
312. 24:01Clip number three, go.
313. 24:03We are at an untenable situation right now and it is painful for us.
314. 24:09It is painful for the city.
315. 24:12And I think that you see it being reflected in the polls.
316. 24:16It is because our federal government actions have taken a toll on the people of this city.
317. 24:23We're going to continue to our job in this administration, but these are extremely challenging
318. 24:28times.
319. 24:29And as I left Washington, D.C., I did not leave with optimism.
320. 24:34I left with the cold reality that help is not on the way in the immediate future.
321. 24:41future. It is going to be at this moment is going to be up to New York is this administration
322. 24:47to continue to navigate this this challenge that we're facing.
323. 24:51So he was a dutiful soldier for quite some time, you know, but then when Texas, I'm sorry,
324. 24:57when New York began to feel what Texas has been feeling for years, Arizona has been feeling
325. 25:01New Mexico has been feeling California has been feeling. He thought he would get help
326. 25:09from the and he said it. This is the product of the federal government's policy and not
327. 25:24shortly after this, it comes in diamonds. Now I'm not I will never defend him and I'm not
328. 25:34saying you know cause causality is the equivalent to causation, you know, I'm just I'm just
329. 25:44pointing out these are the facts that transpired. Find a very, very, very interesting. So now
330. 25:54he becomes the first sitting mayor of New York City to be indicted. Very interesting.
331. 25:57Then you have this and I wonder, I really do. I'm not saying this just for rhetorical purposes.
332. 26:08And I really don't. I really wonder how Republicans in Congress feel now. So the Ukrainian president,
333. 26:17Zelensky, was flown to the United States of America, but in particular, in particular,
334. 26:25a facility in Pennsylvania. Now, Marty, you might need to help me remember, is it Pennsylvania,
335. 26:31a battleground state? In Zelensky was a yuckin in a... with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Appiro.
336. 26:44And they are signing their names to bombs, to munitions in Pennsylvania. That was pretty
337. 26:59weird and clearly munitions paid for by the American taxpayer. The flight to the US on
338. 27:07US military aircraft paid for by the American taxpayer. I want you to get a little gander
339. 27:15at this where they're having this little signing session, but they're signing these
340. 27:21munitions. Looks like portions of or if not of missiles frankly. Watch clip number four.
341. 27:30Just clip number four, go.
342. 27:38For those listening on radio, you heard that was, you know, the people surrounding Shapiro's
343. 27:43and Zilinski clapping for them.
344. 27:46Now Josh Shapiro is signing his name on a pretty significantly sized missile there.
345. 27:56And Zilinski is standing off to his right behind them.
346. 28:03And it is, it is quite, quite bizarre.
347. 28:07Again, all on taxpayer dying.
348. 28:11Then you have Zelensky giving an interview to the New York Magazine, and for some reason,
349. 28:19the New York Magazine interview asks him about the U.S. presidential election.
350. 28:25And Zelensky says that JD Vance is too radical.
351. 28:31Oh, yes.
352. 28:33Oh, yes.
353. 28:34He said this in response to JD Vance's description of what he thinks needs to happen to cause the
354. 28:42war between Russia and Ukraine to cease.
355. 28:45Where JD fans says something along the lines of
356. 28:49a stasis of hostilities that allows Ukraine to maintain their national sovereignty
357. 28:54but also will result in the commitment from Ukraine from
358. 29:00joining NATO or any
359. 29:03Alliance and
360. 29:06Zalinsky didn't like that so I am
361. 29:09You know because I sure that the standard bears in our nation are very very concerned about foreign election interference. Are they not?
362. 29:15for an election interference on taxpayer dime?
363. 29:19Are they not yet?
364. 29:20Zelensky has flown to the US on US military aircraft
365. 29:25and visits a battleground state with a surrogate,
366. 29:33with a common law campaign,
367. 29:37because remember he was potentially vice presidential.
368. 29:42Pick, remember?
369. 29:44And during his visit, he says,
370. 29:45oh, JD Vance is too radical.
371. 29:52I subsequently learned, you know, because there are Republicans in Pennsylvania. I thought why
372. 29:58Witten Zalinski's entourage include Republicans only to learn and of course, you can envision my
373. 30:08shocked face that no Republicans were invited to this little shindig. So, and that's got to sting a
374. 30:22a little bit don't you think because you have you know the turtle Mitch McConnell
375. 30:28your crying is the most important
376. 30:33bleh bleh
377. 30:34glasses lie down and then he pauses because we can have burn is not just in
378. 30:42the presidency we got we can have burn is Mitch too by the way and Mitch McConnell
379. 30:48can't do a whole lot of things but he sure can muster up you crime is the most
380. 30:52important issue yet to have who's crying to come and is could describe this as an
381. 31:09in-kind campaign contribution. This is a crazy world man. This is a crazy
382. 31:19world. This is the most insane election season I ever ever seen. Like yo Zielinski
383. 31:27you have no basis to come and to say who or who is not radical. You need to be
384. 31:31kissing the American ground.
385. 31:37You know, people get mad at me when I'm saying,
386. 31:41look, Russia is led by a wicked man.
387. 31:45The Russian nation has function as a wicked nation,
388. 31:48but guess what?
389. 31:49Ukraine and the nation are boy scouts,
390. 31:51and people got mad at me for saying that.
391. 31:55But I'll say it again.
392. 31:57Ukraine has been a corrupt nation.
393. 31:59I'm not saying all of its citizens.
394. 32:03There are citizens who are not corrupt,
395. 32:05but the governmental apparatus, the oligarchs,
396. 32:08the governing structures, it's been a corrupt nation for decades.
397. 32:16So I'm not gonna all of a sudden act like I don't know that
398. 32:20because Vladimir Putin starts to do stuff.
399. 32:24He never did when Trump was in office.
400. 32:30Sometimes I'm not a very good Christian
401. 32:32and the Lord still seems to love me
402. 32:34and do good things for me.
403. 32:36Grace is an outside force that works good in my life
404. 32:40rather than good pouring forth from what I do.
405. 32:43For the law was given through Moses, grace and truth
406. 32:46were realized through Jesus Christ.
407. 32:48In my own spiritual life, I'd much rather
408. 32:50ask a loving Savior to take control.
409. 32:53I'm Ed Vitegneano, and you can read the rest of,
410. 32:56for the grace of God has appeared at thestand.net.
411. 33:06Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Common Terrets
412. 33:09are available at efr.net.
413. 33:11Back to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
414. 33:16Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton,
415. 33:18The third here, we will open the phone lines this segment, the number to call is 888-589-8840.
416. 33:26That number again is 888-589-8840.
417. 33:30The question that I am asking of you is how has it been in your portion of the country,
418. 33:38communicating with friends, family loved ones, associates, maybe co-workers, those around
419. 33:46you about this election season.
420. 33:48We had some interesting conversation yesterday.
421. 33:51Several of the people called had different experiences.
422. 33:56So I'd like to hear you on that.
423. 34:01And as far as what we're talking about,
424. 34:03I'm just highlighting these things
425. 34:04because they continue to show just how absurd
426. 34:09this election season is.
427. 34:11And so as callers are making their way in,
428. 34:13especially if you called yesterday
429. 34:15and you weren't able to get on,
430. 34:16definitely want to give you priority for today's program. But it's just, you know, the continue
431. 34:24repeat of the Biden-based mid-campaign strategy is happening with the Kathleen Camilla, the remix,
432. 34:32you know, he refuses to do any substantive interviews. It's laughable when you see her
433. 34:39surrogates on TV saying that, well, what do you need to know about her? All you need to know is
434. 34:43she's not Trump. I'm like, Oh, so that's what we are. So that's that's that's what y'all think the American be all in you know, he's not Trump. That's it. That's it. That's enough.
435. 34:51You know, the American people had four years of Trump and many people are like, yeah, I sure had a lot more money in my pocket than, you know, I think we're very different than, you know, I didn't have a person running around saying that she wanted to
436. 35:05to break the filibuster so you can institute federal law
437. 35:10to slaughter children, unborn children in the womb.
438. 35:15So she did another pre-recorded, edited, curated,
439. 35:18nipton tucked interview with MSNBC,
440. 35:22Sica Fance, Stephanie Rule.
441. 35:24And it's just, I guess I'll play this one,
442. 35:28and now I'll play the first non-answer from the debate.
443. 35:31The only debate we're probably gonna get.
444. 35:34It's just amazing to me.
445. 35:35So a proportion of this interview, Stephanie Ruhl asks her,
446. 35:40you saying you want to do these things, but you know, where we find the money?
447. 35:43Because if the Republicans rent with the Senate, which by the way, is a very real
448. 35:47possibility, you have more Democratic comment, US senators campaigning for
449. 35:52reelection than Republican US senators.
450. 35:54So the potential for the red wave actually is now not two years ago,
451. 35:59because you actually could flip the Senate.
452. 36:02And so that's Stephanie Ruhl asks her.
453. 36:04So if the Republicans get the Senate, where are you going to get the money from?
454. 36:07Let me just tell you don't set your expectations too high for this response.
455. 36:13It's clip number five, clip number five, go.
456. 36:16Expanding that child tax credit, or you mentioned housing before, giving that extra money for
457. 36:21a first home, if you can't raise corporate taxes, or if GOP takes control of the Senate,
458. 36:27where do you get the money to do that?
459. 36:28Do you still go forward with those plans and borrow?
460. 36:31Well, but we're going to have to raise corporate taxes.
461. 36:35And we're going to have to raise, we're going to have to make sure that the biggest corporations
462. 36:42and billionaires pay their fair share.
463. 36:44That's just it.
464. 36:45It's about paying their fair share.
465. 36:47I'm sorry.
466. 36:52What do you do if you can't raise corporate taxes?
467. 36:57Her answer, we have to raise corporate taxes.
468. 37:04What do you do if you can't raise?
469. 37:13Can I make this stuff up?
470. 37:17Can I make this stuff up?
471. 37:19Cannot make this stuff up.
472. 37:20It is, it is, it is, would you say this?
473. 37:28They're not gonna cover it?
474. 37:30Who's not gonna cover it?
475. 37:32No, oh, of course not.
476. 37:34No, Bobby's saying that raising corporate taxes
477. 37:36is not gonna be enough to pay for this spending spree.
478. 37:38They wanna pay.
479. 37:40No.
480. 37:41You know, it's statistically demonstrable.
481. 37:44If you confiscated all of the wealth
482. 37:46of the top 1% of American taxpayers,
483. 37:48you'll be able to fund the US government
484. 37:49for all of four months.
485. 37:54All of four months.
486. 37:57like people don't realize the problem in our country is a spending problem.
487. 38:04We collect upwards of $4 trillion annually in tax revenue.
488. 38:07Yeah, we continue to run deficits.
489. 38:09I wonder why.
490. 38:12Let me go and translate that into everyday life for you.
491. 38:14All right.
492. 38:18You generate income of $1,000 a week.
493. 38:23Yet you continue to pay for $4,000 a week in groceries on your credit card.
494. 38:31This was going to happen eventually.
495. 38:34You do the same thing next week that $3,000 deficit becomes $6,000.
496. 38:40You do the thing the week after.
497. 38:42Everybody smelled the rockets, I mean, it's these are things we used to care about.
498. 38:49You know, and she's talking about raising corporate taxes.
499. 38:54She's talking about a 25% tax on unrealized capital gains.
500. 38:58You realize that is not just a progressive income tax rate.
501. 39:01You know, the more money you make, the more taxes you pay.
502. 39:04That is an anticipatory income tax rate gains that you may never get.
503. 39:07But you made them taxes though.
504. 39:09This is this that is his economic insanity.
505. 39:12That's his economic insanity.
506. 39:16The number to call is 888-589-8840.
507. 39:20888-589-8840.
508. 39:25Let's start the conversation in Mississippi with Steve.
509. 39:27Steve, thank you for calling the Hamilton Corner.
510. 39:29Welcome to the program.
511. 39:33Thank you for calling.
512. 39:34I just want to comment on some of my interactions when discussing this in particular presidential
513. 39:43election.
514. 39:46I will use some of your terminology.
515. 39:48I am a more melanated man.
516. 39:51And within our ethnicity, it seems like we have been brainwashed to feel that we have
517. 39:59to vote for the Democratic Party.
518. 40:01no matter how bad the economy is, all of the other issues.
519. 40:06I don't know if they don't see what's going on
520. 40:09and they just don't care.
521. 40:10If they're watching like ABC World News or whatever,
522. 40:14they will never hear some of the stories that you
523. 40:17and AFR talk about.
524. 40:20And when I bring them up, it's like I'm telling a fairy tale
525. 40:23or something.
526. 40:24And I try to get them to listen to your program
527. 40:26or look it up for themselves.
528. 40:28I brought up about how they paid to get Google
529. 40:31show what they wanted to say. Yeah. Yeah. Laptop on and on and on and on. And all
530. 40:37they'll say, well, you know, you just want to vote for racist Trump as if Kamala
531. 40:42Harris, when she was prosecuting black people, nothing wrong with that. Yes. Yes.
532. 40:48Steve, man. It is, it is, it is, it is overwhelmingly puzzling. All right. I tell
533. 40:59people I grew up in the hood in New Orleans. It's been over a century, a century of nothing
534. 41:06but Democrat rule in my city where I'm from. New Orleans right now as I'm speaking you
535. 41:12didn't even have a mall in its city limits. The city council and the mayor's office continue
536. 41:17to try to raise taxes municipally to where they literally forced the tax base to evacuate
537. 41:23the city. The suburbs all around New Orleans, bustling. You go across the GNO, the Greater New Orleans
538. 41:31Bridge, crossing the Mississippi River, go to the West Bank. All my people in the ones
539. 41:35say the West Bank is the best bank. That's this thing. I'm from the East Bank, get it right
540. 41:39and keep it right. But all of the tax base has been pushed outside of the city limits of
541. 41:44New Orleans. You find every major metropolitan area in this country where you have things like
542. 41:50outside violence where you have deplorable economic,
543. 41:53I mean sorry, education systems,
544. 41:54where you have deplorable all of these outside things,
545. 41:56and it's all happening in Democrat run,
546. 41:59portions of our country.
547. 42:04Everyone, I feel like Paul talking to the Galatians,
548. 42:07who has been with you?
549. 42:09You have all of these conversations,
550. 42:10the system does this, the system does this.
551. 42:12Well, who has been running the system?
552. 42:17The same thing, you go back eight years
553. 42:19of former president Obama.
554. 42:23Four years of Trump.
555. 42:24Four more years of Biden.
556. 42:25So let's see quick math.
557. 42:2712 out of the last 16 years at the top has been Democrat run yet.
558. 42:33They want to turn the page.
559. 42:36We want to close the door on the past.
560. 42:37I bet you do because you've been running the past simply puts Steve.
561. 42:42I feel your pain.
562. 42:45But what I will say, man, continue sharing the truth and see the
563. 42:48chair and when when when the argument evolves into ad hominem
564. 42:53personality contest, it's because they're no substantive argument.
565. 42:57points to be made. So it's almost like like your mama jokes.
566. 43:03You say, man, you made a 75 in your test your mama. Wait,
567. 43:09what about my mom? You made a 75 74 on your test. Your mom
568. 43:13because you'd have any substantive arguments back to the phone
569. 43:16lines. We'll go next to Oklahoma where Mark is on the line.
570. 43:20Mark, thank you for calling him to go and welcome to the program.
571. 43:24Thank you for having me. I got two comments. The first one
572. 43:28It's like a high school king and queen, but instead of king and queen, it's king or queen.
573. 43:38And I'm telling you right now, it is just bananas.
574. 43:41There is that the man that was just on the phone a minute ago is exactly right.
575. 43:48I have heard so much that this is my comment back to everybody that votes exactly what you
576. 44:00vote for.
577. 44:01People are complaining because they can't make rent.
578. 44:03You can't buy groceries.
579. 44:04They can't afford this.
580. 44:05Can't afford that.
581. 44:07You deserve exactly what you get.
582. 44:10The second comment that I've got and I'm not meaning to be harsh, but I, that's just the truth.
583. 44:16Anyway, the second comment is about the Nationalist for Christian Nationalist.
584. 44:22Please broadcast and repeat this over and over again because people don't get it.
585. 44:28The Democrats are calling us Nazis.
586. 44:30the Nationalist is the Nazi party back in Hitler's rule.
587. 44:36If you look up history, that's what the national,
588. 44:38it's the, it basically stands for Nazis.
589. 44:42So they're calling us Christian Nazis.
590. 44:44And they're laughing about it, they're behind their backs
591. 44:47and loving it.
592. 44:49Anyway, pray for this country.
593. 44:51I love your show.
594. 44:52Continue it.
595. 44:53God bless.
596. 44:54Thank you, Mark.
597. 44:55I mean, the German phrasing is National Socialist Workers Party.
598. 45:02National Socialists.
599. 45:06That's what the Nazi Party is.
600. 45:08And they attempt to use words as weapons always to try to
601. 45:12categorize, demonize, isolate those who would oppose their ideology, their radical ideology.
602. 45:21Back to the phone lines we'll go next to Maryland.
603. 45:23If I'm right, Maryland, where Edgar is on the line.
604. 45:26Edgar, thank you for calling the Hamilton Corner.
605. 45:28Welcome to the program.
606. 45:31Thank you.
607. 45:32Good to hear from you.
608. 45:33Called you once a long time ago, but I called you in light just to say that my part of Maryland,
609. 45:40which is blue as blue can be, it's virtually all Republican.
610. 45:46I'm in the western part surrounded by West Virginia, about 40 miles from Morgantown, West
611. 45:51Virginia.
612. 45:52Okay.
613. 45:53But I'm surprised Carmel has not been tapped with the name Chameleon.
614. 46:01you're hanging for your call in your comments.
615. 46:04Yeah, I mean, I've called it that,
616. 46:07among many other things.

622. 46:28We go back to the phone lines,
623. 46:29let's go to West Virginia, to where Emilio is on the line.
