11. 0:33Good evening, everybody.
12. 0:34Welcome to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton third here.

17. 0:48And in the screening room, I wasn't so sure
18. 0:50was you going to have anybody in the screening room today.
19. 0:52I was wondering.
20. 0:53I was wondering, a little word.
21. 0:55I was a little worried.
22. 0:56Uh-huh.
23. 0:59I was like, did...
24. 1:00did an lepercon grab, Jeff, and how away are something?
25. 1:03We need APB on Jeff McIntosh stat.
26. 1:09But he made it, y'all.
27. 1:14He made it.
28. 1:15He's breathing a little more heavy than normal, but he made it.
29. 1:19A Carl Lewis sprint down the hall tends to cause one to be temporarily winded.
30. 1:28Well we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program at this very moment.
31. 1:32of you, if not most of you are making your transition from your part time jobs where you
32. 1:36generate an income to your full time job where you cultivate an outcome.
33. 1:41And as you do so, I want to remind you to make your moves intentionally, understanding
34. 1:48the breath, depth, scope, scope and significance that God places in particular on family.
35. 1:56There are a lot of things that we can do.
36. 1:59There is one thing in particular that Jesus instructed his disciples to do, and that is
37. 2:03make disciples.
38. 2:04In Acts 1, he explained that his disciples were to Terry, to they be in dude with power
39. 2:11to be his witnesses.
40. 2:14First in Jude, Jerusalem, and in Judea, Samaria, and then to the uttermost parts of the earth.
41. 2:24put the Lord was explaining or instructing his disciples to establish a home base and
42. 2:31expand from there.
43. 2:33It is instructive for us to recognize that we must execute our Lord's Commission beginning
44. 2:39in our home base and expanding from there.
45. 2:44We will never, societally, out church, out politic deficiencies in the home.
46. 2:54That's just a simple reality.
47. 2:56simple reality and we have to understand that Jesus told us spiritual warfare is inevitable.
48. 3:08I know it makes some people uncomfortable.
49. 3:11We think about this or to consider this.
50. 3:13But whether you recognize it or not, we are at war.
51. 3:18And one of the great deceptions that is causing difficulty currently is that too many of us
52. 3:29fail to recognize we're actually it's warfare and it's not about to start it has already started
53. 3:39it has already started so as you are making your moves man resisted temptation to be seduced
54. 3:47by our context I am grateful to God to be born and raised in the greatest nation in the history
55. 3:53of the world the United States of America simultaneously by God's grace I pray that the Lord
56. 4:02God empowers me to refuse to be deluded or seduced by our context.
57. 4:11That we won't misunderstand the reality of freedom.
58. 4:15We won't mis-manage the reality of provision.
59. 4:18That we won't abuse or even worse waste provision.
60. 4:28That we utilize the time that God affords us.
61. 4:31That we would work while it is day.
62. 4:35that negligence would not be a part of our testable.
63. 4:45You know, the Hebrew writer said at the time
64. 4:47that some should be able to teach others
65. 4:49they have need to be taught again
66. 4:50the basic principle of the faith.
67. 4:56And Satan's strategy, if he wants you to join him
68. 5:00in eternal damnation and torment,
69. 5:02if he cannot do that,
70. 5:03he wants to limit your impact as a believer.
71. 5:06One of the ways he endeavors to do that
72. 5:08is by setting a course for you and I to suffer
73. 5:12from an arrested development,
74. 5:15to have protracted spiritual adolescence,
75. 5:19and to cause all kind of chaos,
76. 5:20and cause and inflict all kind of wounds, war wounds.
77. 5:24So we spend all of our time in a medical tent.
78. 5:29And about a time we get good and ready to get good and ready.
79. 5:36Then we have all of these years
80. 5:39that could have been fruitful and faithful,
81. 5:43but they present nothing but regret.
82. 5:46Thanks be to God that His grace is efficient,
83. 5:48that He is a restorer,
84. 5:53but I know it's the heart of God,
85. 5:55for there to be a minimization of mulligans
86. 6:02and an increased potency and a quantity of those
87. 6:08who are about our Father's business.
88. 6:11To this point, let us go to the word of God,
89. 6:13Ephesians 6, and I just want to illustrate something
90. 6:20from the scripture that is clear in the scripture, but we can, we can miss it.
91. 6:27We can miss it if we're not intentional.
92. 6:30So Ephesians chapter six, as the Apostle Paul is concluding this epistle to the
93. 6:36believers in Ephesus, as I mentioned before the first half of this epistle,
94. 6:41verse three, chapter is written in the imperative mood.
95. 6:43The last half is written in the, I'm sorry, the first half is written in the
96. 6:48indicative mood in the Greek text.
97. 6:49The last half is written in the imperative move getting giving providing commands to us
98. 6:56And as Paul is wrapping up his letter just before
99. 7:00He starts to
100. 7:02Discourse concerning the full armor of God. He says this finally
101. 7:07Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might
102. 7:11return nearest kratos or the power fear strength of
103. 7:16his might verse 11
104. 7:18Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil
105. 7:27The tense of the Greek text here is that the armor is put on never to be removed
106. 7:33The armors is is dawned with no concept of removing it
107. 7:39All right
108. 7:40To stand against the schemes of the devil is not minting and vain that the armor is applied for defensive purposes
109. 7:48All of the features of the armor are
110. 7:50are all forward facing, all for advancement, all primarily for offensive usage with a defensive
111. 8:00detail made available.
112. 8:02But it's all forward facing.
113. 8:03And then look at verse 12, for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers,
114. 8:13against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against
115. 8:19spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
116. 8:27Whether we like it or not, we are in a war, brothers and sisters.
117. 8:32This is the same Paul that has all manner of glowing, transcendent theological truths articulated in chapters one and two.
118. 8:40And as he comes to the close of this epistle, he reminds the Ephesians, hey, remember, we engage naturally.
119. 8:49But the true contention is a spiritual war that is raging, that is raging.
120. 8:58And ready or not, you in it.
121. 9:02This is something, this is something that the Ephesians would have understood.
122. 9:09If you toggle over to Acts, chapter 19, and this is why it's important to understand the
123. 9:15full counsel of the Lord's Word in Acts, chapter 19, that's what we have, the account
124. 9:21of the Apostle Paul going to Ephesus, first, proclaiming the gospel and providing apologetics
125. 9:32defenses for the gospel and argument for the gospel in the synagogues.
126. 9:40Then the scripture says there were there were stubborn acts after 19 verse 9, but there
127. 9:44was some stubborn and some people who persisted in rejecting the logically demonstrated truth
128. 9:51of the gospel.
129. 9:52So Paul was like, man, enough of this.
130. 9:54And he went to the Hall of Tyranus and he stayed in Ephesus for two years.
131. 10:02The Bible records for us all of this in Acts chapter 19.
132. 10:05For two years proclaiming the Gospel.
133. 10:10The Bible says in verse 11 of Acts chapter 19, doing extraordinary miracles, laying hands
134. 10:17on people in the sick of recovering.
135. 10:19And then there were some Jewish exorcists who saw what Paul was doing.
136. 10:24You'll remember this.
137. 10:25The Bible identifies them, Dr. Luke identifies them as the seven sons of Sceva.
138. 10:30Remember this in the text?
139. 10:33The seven sons of Sceva.
140. 10:35And they found a man who was demon possessed.
141. 10:38And they tried to cast out the demon.
142. 10:40The Bible records, they say, we are you in the name of Jesus whom Paul preaches.
143. 10:45You remember this?
144. 10:47And the Bible records almost like a matrix movie.
145. 10:49The demon turns around.
146. 10:51They Paul, I know.
147. 10:53And Jesus, I know.
148. 10:55But who are you?
149. 10:56this in the text. Guess where all of that happened, guys? All of that happened in Ephesus. And when
150. 11:10all of this transpired, when the seventh son of Sceva were whooped physically, the Bible
151. 11:21says in verse 17, all of this was made known to all of the people in Ephesus, both the Jews
152. 11:29and the Gentiles in Ephesus. And the Bible says, fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord
153. 11:36Jesus was extolled and even those who had become believers came confessing their sinfulness,
154. 11:44divulging their practices and those confessing that they had participated in divination, in
155. 11:52magic arts and they took all of their books, their witchcraft stuff and they burned it out
156. 12:00in the open.
157. 12:03And the scripture says that the value of all that was burned eclipsed 50,000 pieces of silver.
158. 12:10You convert that to modern-day revenue.
159. 12:12That's over $6 million worth of just an Ephesus.
160. 12:16This is in the city of Ephesus.
161. 12:18So when Paul sums up his epistle to the Ephesians and he says, finally, be strong in the Lord
162. 12:24and in the power of his might, the Ephesian believers will say, word, Paul.
163. 12:28I'm picking up what you're putting down.
164. 12:30I'm understanding what you're saying.
165. 12:32I'm understanding what you're saying.
166. 12:33When Paul says, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might, put on the full
167. 12:37armor of God.
168. 12:38The Ephesians would recognize, oh yes, you're right.
169. 12:41Why?
170. 12:42Because we are in a war.
171. 12:47We are in a war.
172. 12:49And when Paul says, for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood to the Ephesians, but
173. 12:56our true contending is against principalities and rulers and spiritual wickedness and the
174. 13:05heavenly realms, this would not have been just something that the Ephesians would have winked at.
175. 13:13They would have recognized and remembered Paul I know and Jesus I know but who are you?
176. 13:19The seven-sons of skiva were attempting to engage in business that eclipsed their capacity.
177. 13:25The seven-sons of skiva were attempting to call on someone whom they did not know
178. 13:31personally. They'd heard of Jesus, they'd heard of even more impressed by the things that were
179. 13:37performed in his name, but they didn't know him.
180. 13:41And what I'm saying, but I'm saying, is ready or not,
181. 13:47we are here, brothers and sisters.
182. 13:50We are here.
183. 13:52One of the great evidences of demonic activity in our nation
184. 13:56is that many professing believers don't even recognize
185. 14:00that we are at war.
186. 14:04When the Apostle John, the Spirit of God
187. 14:05told us through the Apostle John, love not the world,
188. 14:08nor the things in it.
189. 14:09He wasn't just talking about not loving the world
190. 14:11when you live in a place that doesn't have sanitation systems.
191. 14:16He's also talking about in the context where you have 401Ks and direct deposits.
192. 14:22Not because the direct deposits and 401Ks are evil in and of themselves, but don't allow
193. 14:27that to seduce you into not realizing that we're still in war and it's a spiritual war.
194. 14:35These things that are being discussed on the national level, children not knowing who they
195. 14:41They are by sex assigned at birth, redefining masculinity, redefining femininity.
196. 14:53It's evidence of the spiritual reality that we're facing.
197. 15:01The following is from an article by Dr. Jessica Peck, host of the Dr. Nurse Momma Show.
198. 15:06Some children feel fear in places they should feel safe every day.
199. 15:11So let's be challenged to speak words of life and encouragement.
200. 15:15The next time the student shares a discouragement or difficulty with you, try listening first
201. 15:20and then engaging them in compassionate and encouraging conversation.
202. 15:26Read the full article School Mom Hope on thestand.net.
203. 15:37Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner.
204. 15:46Abraham Hamilton III here.
205. 15:53We are in the war guys.
206. 15:54this and as the scripture says we rest are not against flesh and blood but
207. 16:01against spiritual wicked. Now these things are connected remember Isaiah chapter 1
208. 16:08when the scripture talks about one of the evidences of rebellion taking root and
209. 16:20judgment. One of the things is the scripture talked about the foreigner devouring
210. 16:27the land of God's people before them. That's what the scripture says. I found this story
211. 16:36actually yesterday and maybe nauseous. I've been nauseous a lot lately. Been nauseous a lot lately.
212. 16:48And I saw a news story where Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was being interviewed
213. 17:00and he was specifically being interviewed concerning the federal emergency management
214. 17:07agency's response to the suffering of the people in North Carolina and Florida and Georgia and Tennessee concerning Hurricane Helene.
215. 17:19All right.
216. 17:20And Andrew, I'm sorry, Alejandro Mayorkas said a lot of things.
217. 17:26There's one thing, just a short snippet.
218. 17:29I said, what?
219. 17:30Which made me, it peaked my spidey senses.
220. 17:36And so while he's talking Alejandro Mayorkas lets out say, hey, by the way, FEMA doesn't
221. 17:45have enough money for the hurricane season.
222. 17:48All right.
223. 17:49Y'all ready for this?
224. 17:50Listen to and watch clip number one.
225. 17:52It's just 14 seconds.
226. 17:53We'll listen to and watch clip number one.
227. 17:55Go.
228. 17:56We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have.
229. 18:01We are expecting another hurricane hitting.
230. 18:04We do not have the funds.
231. 18:06Fima does not have the funds to make it through the season.
232. 18:10Mmm.
233. 18:11Fima does not have the funds to make it through the season.
234. 18:20Really?
235. 18:21Um, alright.
236. 18:23I'm still doing a little looking around and I almost said you won't believe what I found
237. 18:32but you will, you'll believe what I found.
238. 18:34You guys know I'm the editor.
239. 18:36Cross my teas and dot my eyes.
240. 18:39It turns out that the federal emergency management agency has enjoyed over $1 billion of allocation
241. 18:47within the last two fiscal years to be specific, $363.8 million in fiscal year 2023, and an
242. 19:00additional $650 million allocated to it with a 2024 fiscal year.
243. 19:08That's over $1 billion.
244. 19:11Now, we already know it seems we can't stop giving money to Ukraine.
245. 19:22And by the way, what's going on with that money?
246. 19:29What is it being used for again?
247. 19:31Well, put that on the side for a moment, folks, because the money I just told you about was
248. 19:38allocated to FEMA for a specific program.
249. 19:41Oh, yes, a very, very specific program.
250. 19:46You see, the funds I just mentioned to you, over a billion dollars was allocated to FEMA
251. 19:50was specifically for its shelter and services program.
252. 19:55Mm-hmm.
253. 19:57Shelter and services program.
254. 19:59What is that, Abe?
255. 20:00I'm glad you asked.
256. 20:02The Shelter and Services Program is a FEMA program
257. 20:06that sends money to cities, counties, and states
258. 20:09to help them settle immigrants in the United States of America.
259. 20:13You heard me right.
260. 20:15You heard me right.
261. 20:16The Shelter and Services Program provides shelter, food,
262. 20:19transportation, acute medical care, personal hygiene supplies, and much, much more specifically
263. 20:26for illegal immigrants.
264. 20:29Yeah.
265. 20:30So, what I'm explaining to you is that FEMA has had over a billion dollars and has allocated
266. 20:38people and resources that's supposed to be for federal emergencies for American citizens,
267. 20:47it's been utilized or illegal alien
268. 20:53resettlement. Can't make this stuff up,
269. 21:01folks. So when my orchas says,
270. 21:07you don't have enough money for the
271. 21:09remainder of the hurricane season,
272. 21:10we're at the latter part of the
273. 21:12hurricane season now. What what
274. 21:14have you been spending the money on
275. 21:16chief? And as always, trust
276. 21:21the verify going look it up for
277. 21:22yourself. The FEMA shelter and
278. 21:26services program. Mm hmm.
279. 21:30No money for American citizens to help them. Nah, nah. We have other priorities. And don't even get me started on how FEMA has had such an intense focus on, you know,
280. 21:50quote, racial justice training and funding diversity and equity and inclusion studies and, and, you know, climate resilience.
281. 21:59But no money to actually help American people.
282. 22:05And you know, I was telling my civic students this in the class that I teach, like you do
283. 22:11realize the government don't have money of its own, right?
284. 22:13So, when I say over a billion dollars, please understand what I'm saying, over a billion dollars
285. 22:20of United States taxpayer money that was allocated to the federal emergency management agency,
286. 22:30for the purposes of serving non-American citizens.
287. 22:35I saw Kamala Harris talking about, yes, we're doing a program where we're going to offer
288. 22:41$750.
289. 22:42Again, not laughing because it's funny.
290. 22:50Guys, this is galling.
291. 22:54This is galling.
292. 22:57And there are people who will say, let me just say it like this.
293. 23:05Is it truly unreasonable to think that we the American taxpayer, American taxpayer dollars
294. 23:14should probably utilize to help Americans?
295. 23:19What an idea, right?
296. 23:21What an idea.
297. 23:22So we don't have enough money in FEMA for the hurricane season, but we got enough money
298. 23:27for illegal immigrant.
299. 23:29What's the name of the program again?
300. 23:34Shelter and services program.
301. 23:41Shelter and services program.
302. 23:44You want to talk about diverging views of the world?
303. 23:50And I'll just ask you plainly.
304. 23:52And it is clear, maybe I don't have to say it, but I will.
305. 23:55This has clearly been made a priority by the Harris Biden's.
306. 24:01You know, is this your vision for the country?
307. 24:10It's not mine.
308. 24:11It's not mine.
309. 24:13It's, you know, and this is, you know, having lived through Hurricane Katrina, this is causing
310. 24:21me all kinds of problems. Let me just say that one. Causing me all kinds of problems.
311. 24:32In contrast to this insanity, there's been a development in Florida that might provide
312. 24:49a little insight into what could be on the horizon specifically concerning the port workers
313. 24:56strike that is happening. So as I've shared with you the day before yesterday and the day before that
314. 25:05is a strike. The Port Workers on strike because they the last cogent contract you're offering
315. 25:13included a 50% wage increase over the next eight years that was rejected. All right, so the Port
316. 25:18Workers on strike the contract expired Tuesday Tuesday morning. We've known for the last six years
317. 25:23that they was coming and here we are. Well, as Governor Ron DeSantis detailed his state's
318. 25:29response and it's amazing because a lot of their emergency preparedness, they're taking
319. 25:33down now because they're coming online so quickly. It's only about 3,000 people between 9,000
320. 25:39and 3,000 people that may not have electricity still today. And that number is reducing minute
321. 25:45by minute. Grocery store is opening up again. Different things are happening. It's pretty
322. 25:51remarkable. So because the state of Florida is already recovering, which is amazing what happens
323. 25:57when you have competent leadership. That's in that amazing. Among the things he announced, Governor
324. 26:06Rhonda Santis announced today that the Florida National Guard and the Florida State Guard are being
325. 26:14dispatched to ports impacted by the strikes to keep order at the ports and also to perform
326. 26:22necessary tasks to keep the goods flowing to Floridians. Listen to and watch
327. 26:29clip number four. Go.
328. 26:31I direction the Florida National Guard and Florida state guard will be deployed to
329. 26:36critical ports affected to maintain order and if possible resume operations which
330. 26:42would otherwise be shut down during this interruption. Florida deployment
331. 26:48transportation is coordinating calls with Seaport Rail and trucking partners to
332. 26:52ensure that all are prepared and positioned appropriately to limit disruptions to the supply
333. 26:58chain and other areas should this continue.
334. 27:02I'm also directing Florida to apply my transportation to temporarily waive the collection of tolls
335. 27:07and other fees for commercial vehicles using public highways in Florida and waiving the
336. 27:12size and weight restrictions normally governing vehicle transportation further duration of
337. 27:18this emergency.
338. 27:19This will help expedite the movement of goods that have been impacted from seaports to intermodal
339. 27:25logistics centers, distribution centers and delivery points and very well may help offset
340. 27:32additional costs incurred by operation during this period.
341. 27:36Finally, I'm directing the Florida Highway Patrol to manage the flow of traffic from all
342. 27:40Florida seaports and adjacent roads and highways as needed to further expedite the flow of goods
343. 27:47that are currently being held up.
344. 27:49This will include the provision of law enforcement escorts for commercial motor vehicles by FHP
345. 27:54officers upon request.
346. 28:00So the Florida National Guard and the Florida State Guard with cooperation from the Florida
347. 28:06Department of Transportation stepping in to help the continued facilitation of goods flowing
348. 28:15in the state of Florida.
349. 28:17Could this be something that other governors follow suit in doing?
350. 28:21like Governor Land, during the state of Louisiana, the Alabama governor, and should governors and
351. 28:29state guards step in to help fill in the gaps, what pressure might that put on other states
352. 28:36to follow suit? If that occurs, how might that impact negotiations? Everybody knows the
353. 28:54the name of the game and negotiations is leverage.
354. 28:58This is remarkable.
355. 29:01So Governor DeSantis announces that recovery is going so well in the state of Florida that
356. 29:07they can focus on using their state resources to aid or to fill in the gap in terms of goods,
357. 29:16the flow of goods due to the port strikes.
358. 29:23Boy, boy, boy, boy, boy.
359. 29:29This is an interesting development.
360. 29:34This is a very, very, very, very interesting development.
361. 29:40You know, and I want to be clear.
362. 29:42I'm all four people being compensated fairly, but people need to be reasonable on all side.
363. 29:54People need to be reasonable.
364. 29:58And I'm just saying, this is going to be interesting.
365. 30:06here is Governor Ronda Santis leading. Imagine that. Imagine that. Another story that was
366. 30:20maybe I'll only be able to introduce it. That was, say, huh, well, you look at that.
367. 30:27The young man, 21 year old, AJ Griffin, is in the NBA. First round draft pick drafted number 16 overall
368. 30:36in 2022 played one year at Duke University was a name to the ACC Atlantic Coast Conference
369. 30:45all freshman team. Prior to that it was McDonald's All-American if you know anything about basketball
370. 30:51that's some of the top high school players place he goes from being a McDonald's All-American
371. 30:55to being ACC freshman all freshman at Duke then the very next year being drafted in the first round
372. 31:01in the to the NBA, any announces he's leaving the NBA retiring, because he got saved and he
373. 31:11sends us a call to ministry. Listen to and watch clip number five. Go.
374. 31:17I gave a basketball to follow Jesus and I know that a lot of people's eyes, that seems
375. 31:23like it seems like a lot of us in the world's eyes. But I just want to let you guys know that
376. 31:30I'm super excited because I truly get to serve, you know, with my full yes.
377. 31:35And I feel like letting go of basketball somehow and me to go into full-time
378. 31:40ministry and truly serving the Lord with all my heart, with all my time too, as well.
379. 31:44So I'm just excited to see where that leads me.
380. 31:49A.J. Griffin, six foot, six inches tall, 220 pounds, first round draft pick.
381. 31:54NBA star says, you know what?
382. 31:59Full-time ministry is where God is calling me.
383. 32:00NBA, I'm out.
384. 32:05Very, very interesting.
385. 32:08He shares his testimony, he said he became a Christian in 2020.
386. 32:12So by his own testimony, he's a new believer.
387. 32:15I asked that you would pray for this young man.
388. 32:17I prayed that this brother would be discipled well so that he won't have a zeal.
389. 32:24That's not according to knowledge.
390. 32:31Those who place their faith in Jesus are elevated to an extraordinary position.
391. 32:35co-heirs with Christ we share in His inheritance.
392. 32:38The Gospel is the ultimate dignity giver, elevating the unworthy two unimaginable heights.
393. 32:44Our lives should reflect the dignity, empowering us to extend the same grace and love to others
394. 32:49that has been so generously given to us.
395. 32:52I'm Jordan Shambly, and you can read the rest of the Gospel Dignifies The Undignified
396. 32:57on the stand dot net. The Hamilton Quarter podcast and one-minute common
397. 33:07territory are available at aFR dot net back to the Hamilton Corner on
398. 33:12American family radio. Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner Abraham Hamilton
399. 33:17the third here. My mentioning of a J Griffin man it is it's encouraging to hear
400. 33:25the young man twenty twenty one years old recognizing the surpassing greatness
401. 33:29and treasure that is in Christ that would have him to value Christ even above an
402. 33:33NBA career. It's remarkable. I pray that he would have strong men around him to help him
403. 33:40and to disciple him because it is true that his salvation doesn't automatically mean he
404. 33:46has to leave the NBA. But if that's something that God is calling him to, then God is calling
405. 33:51him. But I pray that he would be allowed to grow and to mature in anonymity. One of the
406. 33:58the great downfall of this celebrity,
407. 34:04obsessed culture that we in,
408. 34:05we sometimes tend to think because somebody is popular
409. 34:09in the world, their salvation is more important
410. 34:12than other people, and I know nobody would actually say that,
411. 34:15but people tend to get excited, you know?
412. 34:17And I know, I know his wife is Puerto Rican
413. 34:20and Daddy Yankee, one of the premier,
414. 34:24reggaeton artist has become a Christian,
415. 34:27and lots of people talking about that,
416. 34:28like man, let the man be discipled in anonymity, you know, and let them mature, let them grow.
417. 34:37And as God grows them, may he minister in them to them and through them for his glory.
418. 34:45But I was encouraged by this story because we have so much news and information about young people
419. 34:52doing things that are crazy, exercising poor judgment in different ways. And I know for a
420. 34:58fact, it's not all young people. I know lots of young people who are godly. But to have this
421. 35:04story is encouraging. And my hope and my prayer by sharing it is that the young people listen to
422. 35:08this show because we have quite a quite a few. It's amazing how God has brought this audience
423. 35:14together, man. We have a wide range from, you know, varying ages and demographics and life stages
424. 35:21ethnicities and it's a wonderful, wonderful cross-pollination that happens here.
425. 35:29But I pray that young people who are listening to the show would be encouraged.
426. 35:32And those of us who are working with and serving young people will likewise be encouraged
427. 35:36to recognize, man, God is still in the business of doing what He does, drawing people to Himself,
428. 35:42transforming them and positioning them within His Kingdom to execute His commission.
429. 35:46It's a wonderful, wonderful thing.
430. 35:49and I pray that the Lord would continue to,
431. 35:52but still his grace upon Brother Griffin.
432. 35:56Now more foolishness.
433. 35:59I'm like, oh, he became a good story,
434. 36:00now you're back to the foolishness.
435. 36:02It's just so much foolishness.
436. 36:04It truly, truly, truly is.
437. 36:10This is, it is, it is the stuff that happens in our country,
438. 36:14especially in the media, it's just so laughable.
439. 36:16So not many people saw this interview.
440. 36:19I saw it because of what I do.
441. 36:20But Circleback Saki, remember her?
442. 36:25Remember her Circleback?
443. 36:27Well, you know, she abandoned Mr. Robinetta as quickly as she could get that gig at MSDNC.
444. 36:35And she's a television personality now, go figure.
445. 36:41And Circleback Saki has a program on MSDNC.
446. 36:47And she interviewed Doug Imhoff, husband of one Kamala Harris Imhoff.
447. 36:57And you want to talk about a fawning, hyperventilating, puff interview.
448. 37:03I mean, if you want to translate the interview, oh my goodness, Doug, you're so amazing.
449. 37:09So amazing you are a dog, oh Doug.
450. 37:12How are you?
451. 37:13So amazing.
452. 37:15But there is a particular portion of the interview that I thought was important, not just for
453. 37:20circlebacks being enamored with Doug Imhoff, but really for what it represents in our society.
454. 37:33So she came to a portion of the interview where she literally said, I kid you not.
455. 37:37I know I know some of you listen to me when I say this, you go, if you're drinking something,
456. 37:41go ahead and swallow now because when I say this, you're going to spit it out.
457. 37:45Among her glowing, effusive praise for Doug Imhoff, she said that he embodied a redefinition
458. 38:00from a positive perspective now, embodied a redefinition of masculinity for America.
459. 38:08And I know you guys, you think Doug Imhoff, y'all think, yeah, now that's a man right there.
460. 38:13I'll you know it. I want you to listen to and watch circle back saying this out of our own
461. 38:24night. Listen to watch clip number three. Go. Something that is all you've all there's also been an
462. 38:31important part and interesting part of how people have talked about your role here is how your role
463. 38:36has reshaped the perception of masculinity. And I'm not sure you planned on that but you are a
464. 38:42incredibly supportive spouse. Has that been an evolution for you? And do you think that's
465. 38:46part of the role you might play as first gentleman? It's funny. I've started to think a lot about this.
466. 38:52I've always been like this. My dad was like this and to me, it's the right thing to do.
467. 38:59I've always been like this. My dad has been like this. You know, my dad was a pansy, you know,
468. 39:05So, pansy is my familial inheritance.
469. 39:10And I don't know if you planned this, Doug, but I mean,
470. 39:20your rule, it's been a redefinition of masculinity.
471. 39:25Well, you had continued that as first gentlemen.
472. 39:31And I know I'm speaking funny at the moment,
473. 39:41but this is what I want you guys to see.
474. 39:44Out of all the things you're going to say,
475. 39:46and to put on national television.
476. 39:51This is what you wanna do.
477. 39:52And I want y'all to listen to me well
478. 39:53and I say, yes, this is what they wanna do.
479. 39:56You see, all of the trends,
480. 39:58and I'll never forget back in high school in New Orleans.
481. 40:02I remember as trends were changing,
482. 40:05and you had dudes at first using the saggy pants
483. 40:11and not knowing the history of saggy pants,
484. 40:13from jail culture and all that kind of stuff.
485. 40:15then you had this massive shift thereafter to where if anything was men's clothing, it's
486. 40:21tight fitting and it's snug and what is going on here?
487. 40:26Then you have all of these women's clothing that's more loose than you have masculine cuts
488. 40:30on women's clothing and feminine cuts on men's clothing.
489. 40:35And now you full on God do is wearing dresses.
490. 40:40And they hide the fact that they're normalized and cross dressing by saying, but this is
491. 40:46This is horticulture, this is high fashion.
492. 40:49This is horticulture.
493. 40:51They're in a very high fashion.
494. 40:56Those low level proletarian, they don't understand,
495. 40:59up across culture.
496. 41:03Fashion that is high.
497. 41:05Well I might be high while I'm wearing fashion,
498. 41:08but you figure it out for yourselves.
499. 41:12And you have this consistent push,
500. 41:15and this is why I've said repeatedly,
501. 41:16we are at war. It's not merely a war on masculinity, you know, toxic masculinity.
502. 41:21What a lie from Satan.
503. 41:25Masculinity is not toxic.
504. 41:29Sinful men, sinful women are sinful,
505. 41:34but God designed men to be men.
506. 41:38It's not like men decided, Hey, we want to have thicker,
507. 41:42more musculature, higher bone density women that say, Hey,
508. 41:49we're, we're, we're going to have pelvic floors that are conducive to childbearing.
509. 41:53God made that, man.
510. 41:55God made that.
511. 41:56And I'm not talking about some sinful development
512. 41:58of machismo where you know you gotta have the shirt open,
513. 42:01you know, and have a little bit of the taco meat visible
514. 42:04with the gold chains are flapping.
515. 42:06No, I am talking about understanding masculinity
516. 42:11and femininity biblically,
517. 42:14and glorying in what God has designed.
518. 42:17But you know what?
519. 42:18Where Circleback Socky has provided herself,
520. 42:21provided a platform for and made herself
521. 42:23mouthpiece for is the talking snake.
522. 42:26It got surely same.
523. 42:29So now I got Dougie not so fresh, M-Huff sitting across from me, and I want to let the world
524. 42:35know Dougie not so fresh represents the embodiment of the redefinition of masculinity where he
525. 42:43is perfectly willing to be a, uh, sidelined, feminized, almost non-existent.
526. 42:53And this is what we want men to be going forward, because this is the era of woman hear me roar.
527. 42:58Y'all know I got a mama.
528. 43:03I love my mom.
529. 43:04I got sisters.
530. 43:05I got a wife.
531. 43:06I got daughters.
532. 43:07I love all of them.
533. 43:08And my love will never cause me to twist God's design for mankind.
534. 43:16And so when you see this, what you need to understand what her propagandistic presentation
535. 43:21is offering is that what they want is a new America to where feminized men are normalized.
536. 43:29Feminized, inactive men who are not heads of their families, men who are not spiritual
537. 43:36leaders, men who are not what God designed men to be, that is what regressives want.
538. 43:43Similarly, they want masculineized women, women who have the audacity to kill their unborn
539. 43:53children in pursuit of secular notions of success, which is why they always present to you if it was
540. 44:00not for my ability to kill my child, though I had sex and wasn't ready yet to be a mother.
541. 44:06If I wasn't able to murder my child, I wouldn't have been able to accomplish ABC and D.
542. 44:15And what I want you to know is that this is not merely political discourse.
543. 44:20When did I start off telling you? We're at war. It's a spiritual war. The whole notion that has
544. 44:30overwhelmed various communities. I don't need no man to live. That is one of the most foolish
545. 44:36statements ever made because men need women and women need men if we're interested in having
546. 44:43and enjoying the life that God has designed for us to enjoy and more importantly propagating
547. 44:48generationally. It's a stupid idea. Mo, no, worse than stupid. It's a demonic idea,
548. 44:56which is why you had the feminist notion.
549. 45:00Men are just as good as women,
550. 45:03equal in value, but distinct from men.
551. 45:06Women are distinct from men.
552. 45:07Men are distinct from women.
553. 45:08No, the culture says men and women are interchangeable
554. 45:11and just as good as a man.
555. 45:19Don't need a man.
556. 45:22I am a man.
557. 45:24The, the, the devolution is obvious because when you reject God's way
558. 45:33at the foundation, you open yourself up to everything else.
559. 45:37So, circle back, Saki thinks she's doing groundbreaking media, but she's using her platform and her
560. 45:43mouthpiece to advocate for the notion that men should be comfortable not being men biblically.
561. 45:48And women should seek that and be comfortable with having men.
562. 45:52And listen, here's the thing.
563. 45:53You talk to any woman like on the ground in real life, ask them whether or not they want
564. 45:57a weak man.
565. 45:59Even women who come from broken families don't necessarily understand a manhood from experience
566. 46:06is one of the massive casualties of having the family
567. 46:08decimated as it has been in our country.
568. 46:12Even now tell you man, I wanna weak man.
569. 46:16And then what about this?
570. 46:18A lot of women are complaining today
571. 46:20because you have men saying things like,
572. 46:23I like traditional women.
573. 46:25What are they saying?
574. 46:26They want women who embrace the complimentary distinctions
575. 46:32between men and women, understanding that we're not the same.
576. 46:37And we never want men to be the same.
577. 46:39never meant to be. So I'm sharing this with you. So you will be adept at identifying the
578. 46:45line, understand not just what is being presented to you, but the underlying sales pitch that
579. 46:52is going on that is seeking now to be made culturally normative. That's why I say at the
580. 47:01very beginning, what goes on in the White House, what goes on in your house is far more
581. 47:06important than what goes on in the White House. We don't allow the world, nor the culture,
582. 47:11the spirit of the age to set the tone for who we are and what we pursue. We have a manual.
583. 47:18We have an instruction manual. It's called the Holy Word of God. I want my boys to be men.
584. 47:26I want my girls to be women. I want my boys to want to marry women. I want my girls to want to marry
585. 47:35men. I'm raising my girls to identify biblical manhood. And by God's grace, I'm endeavoring to
586. 47:44demonstrate that for them.
587. 47:47Same for my boys.
588. 47:49Our young women and our young men need to know what
589. 47:52Biblical man it is, what Biblical woman it is.
590. 47:59Because darkness is not an affirmative force,
591. 48:01but believe you me.
592. 48:03It reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
593. 48:07If we are not intentional in establishing and pursuing
594. 48:12God's ways, the world will infiltrate.
595. 48:18The world will infiltrate.
596. 48:22So excuse me, circle back, Saki.
597. 48:24But I reject your offering.
598. 48:27And it ain't just me.
599. 48:28More than me.
600. 48:30Most important, God reject your offering.
601. 48:33Dougie ain't fresh.
602. 48:35At all.
