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. 0:20God has called you and me to be his ambassador.
8. 0:24Even in this dark moment.
9. 0:27Let's not miss our moment.
10. 0:28and now the Hamilton Corner.
11. 0:33Good evening, everyone.
12. 0:35Welcome to the Hamilton Corner.
13. 0:37Here on American Family Radio.
14. 0:39I am your host, Abraham Hamilton III.
15. 0:43I am excited to be with you today.
16. 0:46You certainly don't want to go anywhere with today's program
17. 0:50because we have a very special program for you today.
18. 0:54We're going to take a look as to what's
19. 0:57the ground in Michigan have a friend who's become a friend I've been able to appear on his program this will be the first time he's been on my program who happens to live in Michigan has some interesting insights that I want to share with you all because Michigan will play a significant role as it has in recent years.
20. 1:20but things tend to be changing in Michigan,
21. 1:23and I want to bring that to your attention.
22. 1:25But before we get there, thank you to each and every one of you
23. 1:28for tuning in to the program.
24. 1:30As you've heard me say numerous times before,
25. 1:32there would be no program if you all didn't tune in.
26. 1:35So I greatly appreciate you doing so.
27. 1:37And in light of you committing yourself to this program,
28. 1:43I do endeavor to make sure it is something as best as I can
29. 1:50hand that is beneficial to you. I hope that you are edified and encouraged and informed
30. 1:58and convicted when necessary and provoked in a proper manner when necessary, provoked in
31. 2:02the godly way when necessary. But that is what we seek to accomplish through this program.
32. 2:06At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you are making your transition from your
33. 2:10part-time jobs where you generate income to your full-time jobs where you cultivate an outcome.
34. 2:15I want to remind you what I do as I do on a daily basis that what goes on in your house
35. 2:23is more important, far more important than what goes on in the White House.
36. 2:27As you know, I don't make that statement to detract from the significance of what occurs
37. 2:34in the White House.
38. 2:36But I make this statement because it's very easy to be so consumed in what's happening
39. 2:40in society, especially during an election season, that you be kind of seduced into a tacit neglect,
40. 2:48a tacit neglect of what God really requires of you and me on a daily basis. In our homes,
41. 2:56we have the opportunity to shape destinies. In our home, we get to contribute to what the nation
42. 3:04will be going forward. And most importantly, our homes are the first external output or outpost
43. 3:12that we have to discharge our faithfulness to our God and King.
44. 3:18As you've heard me say before, worship is not an activity.
45. 3:21Worship is a lifestyle.
46. 3:22The pinnacle of the lifestyle of worship is obedience.
47. 3:26Unfortunately, many instances people sacrifice or neglect the home in an effort
48. 3:30to be effective and be impactful and to win the world.
49. 3:33But I want to encourage you to reverse that.
50. 3:36To have a proper estimation as to what happens in our home, our Lord recorded in
51. 3:40scripture that the first human institution that was established before there was
52. 3:44and ever modern iterations of civil government before there was a modern iterations of pre of a priest even before there was a New Testament church.
53. 3:51The first human institution to God established was the family.
54. 3:53The first command that God gave to mankind was given within the familial context. Simply put, family is important, primarily important to God.
55. 4:03And therefore it should be important to us. Now, I know we have people that are in all walks of life at different places and different stages.
56. 4:10In order for us to be effective in our families, what they should be presented with is the overflow
57. 4:19of what we enjoy with the Lord directly.
58. 4:21So as you're making your transition to your full-time jobs, part-time jobs is where we
59. 4:26generate income.
60. 4:28Our full-time jobs is where we cultivate an outcome.
61. 4:31As you commit yourself, devote yourself to outcome cultivation, I want to encourage you
62. 4:36to do so with intentionality.
63. 4:39that you welcome the primacy that God places on family
64. 4:41to inform how you engage in your family.
65. 4:44And by God's grace,
66. 4:45and we're gonna get into this in a moment,
67. 4:48we have no guarantee of the outcome.
68. 4:52What is required of us is that we are obedient and faithful.
69. 4:57And this is what we want to live in light of.
70. 4:59The reality of eternity should guide and drive
71. 5:03what we do with the time that God gives us
72. 5:06on this side of eternity.
73. 5:07With that in mind, let us go to the Word of God.
74. 5:091 Corinthians 4, just want to encourage you with this.
75. 5:131 Corinthians 4, verses 1 and 2.
76. 5:19And this is what God's word says.
77. 5:20This is how one should regard us as servants of Christ
78. 5:24and stewards of the mysteries of God.
79. 5:27Moreover, it is required of stewards
80. 5:31that they be found faithful.
81. 5:35Some translations render that term faithful
82. 5:37as trustworthy.
83. 5:39duty is ours, results are the Lord's.
84. 5:44As you've heard me say it, we're not contending for victory,
85. 5:46we're contending from the victory,
86. 5:48but the Lord uses a metaphor to describe his body
87. 5:51as a body intentionally.
88. 5:54There's one body, many members.
89. 5:58The Lord doesn't want every member of his body
90. 6:00doing the exact same thing.
91. 6:01He doesn't call us to be identical to one another,
92. 6:04clones of one another, the metaphor,
93. 6:06and 1 Corinthians 12 is beautiful.
94. 6:08If all were eyes, where would the sense of hearing be?
95. 6:10If all with noses, where would the sense of sight be?
96. 6:16If all with thumbs, where would the big toes be?
97. 6:18Y'all get the analogy, you get the point that I'm making.
98. 6:22It's not that we all need to be doing the exact same thing,
99. 6:25but we all need to be another metaphor
100. 6:26in rolling in the same direction
101. 6:28and rendering our offering.
102. 6:31You know, there are some people, you know,
103. 6:33that God has gifted to be kind of,
104. 6:37that He's giving communication gifts to,
105. 6:40and that they use those gifts,
106. 6:41and they're kind of upfront gifts,
107. 6:43but the Lord is intentional in verse 12 and describing
108. 6:46that it is those less visible gifts that are indispensable.
109. 6:51Think about your own body as much as your beautiful hair is
110. 6:54and your, oh, look at those lovely eyes,
111. 6:57I can get lost in those eyes.
112. 7:00It's one of your radiant skin as beautiful as that is.
113. 7:02What would you be if your heart stopped working?
114. 7:05What would you be if your kidneys just decided,
115. 7:09you know what?
116. 7:11I'm gonna punch out.
117. 7:14Where will we be without our lungs?
118. 7:17These are organs clearly that are more discreet.
119. 7:21They're not externally visible,
120. 7:23but they are indispensable to the function of the body.
121. 7:25The same is true in the Lord's body.
122. 7:29Sometimes, and this is because of the combination
123. 7:32of corporate culture and even celebrity ideology
124. 7:35permeating into the minds of people
125. 7:37that are professing Christ followers,
126. 7:39to where we tend to think that visibility equals,
127. 7:42that visibility is synonymous with qualitative assessment.
128. 7:45No, it's just that we have different roles to play,
129. 7:48but make no mistake about it,
130. 7:49every single one of us has a role to play.
131. 7:52I've been explaining before as well
132. 7:55that God could have made you and planted you
133. 7:59at any other time in history, point in time in history,
134. 8:01and at any other point in the world.
135. 8:03You know, you could be as presidase as you are,
136. 8:06you could live right now, you know, when Sudan,
137. 8:08you could live in Germany,
138. 8:10but God by His divine providence has placed you
139. 8:14in the nation where you are.
140. 8:15I know we have a contingent of listeners who are in Canada.
141. 8:18Thank you for tuning in.
142. 8:19I know we have some that are,
143. 8:22I guess I should whisper this part,
144. 8:23that are pirating the show in China.
145. 8:26We have listeners all over the world,
146. 8:27but the dominant reality for the majority of our audience
147. 8:31is that you Americans just like me,
148. 8:34and in God's divine providence, he knew
149. 8:36that you will be alive in the 21st century.
150. 8:38He knew that you would be alive,
151. 8:43that you being in America at this time
152. 8:44what we have this crazy election season going on,
153. 8:49where it is remarkable to me,
154. 8:54how you have a person who was unanimously regarded as
155. 8:58one of the worst vice presidents in American history.
156. 9:01I remember reading the headlines
157. 9:02and seeing all of the interviews and the television shows
158. 9:04that said the Biden ticket has a Harris problem.
159. 9:07And then all of a sudden, serve pro,
160. 9:10like it never even happened.
161. 9:12Now, Pamela Harris might just walk on water.
162. 9:16It's amazing to me that this is happening all at the same time.
163. 9:22But more than it is amazing to me, God knew it would happen.
164. 9:27So the question then becomes, what is God requiring of you?
165. 9:30What is he requiring of me?
166. 9:33I've been talking about November 5th, no doubt about it, but November 6th,
167. 9:37where are you going to be?
168. 9:40Where are you going to be?
169. 9:41What are you going to be engaged in?
170. 9:43What is the Lord requiring of you?
171. 9:44What is foremost required of a servant is that he be found faithful.
172. 9:53Our founder brother down is known for saying that God doesn't call us to be successful
173. 9:59He clearly is communicating success as it's
174. 10:03Culturally expected and defined God calls us to be faithful
175. 10:09That that concept is one of the things that as the Lord wakes me up in the morning
176. 10:14I hop out of my bed that is on a forefront of my mind. How can I be faithful today?
177. 10:20We are at the same 25 hours in a day. We all need rest. We all need fuel
178. 10:25What are we going to do with the time that God gives us?
179. 10:30I've explained before and I like to reflect on this myself.
180. 10:35Do we even realize that time is something that God has created?
181. 10:40And He's blessed us with innovations and instruments that aid us in measuring the passage of time.
182. 10:45When I consider the measuring of the passage of time, I also consider and assess,
183. 10:50how am I using the time that is passing as I measure it?
184. 10:55What have I done today with my time?
185. 11:00Who am I? Am I a vessel that is that is filled sufficiently?
186. 11:06So that I may be one that overflows into the lives of those
187. 11:10Who around me I think about you all think about this program. I've met some of you
188. 11:17I have not met all of you
189. 11:19But I can tell you that you are important to me mostly because you're important to God
190. 11:23How can I be a blessing? How can I be a benefit?
191. 11:30Sometimes you guys ask me a be watch that stuff, you know, it's not because it's fun
192. 11:34I don't want to have to sit around and wait through word salads.
193. 11:38You know, it's in the cloud. It's above us.
194. 11:46Bobby asked me, what time are you going to be in the studio today?
195. 11:48Well, I grew up in the middle class family.
196. 11:58But I do it because I want to be faithful with the time that God has given me as well.
197. 12:01What has God requiring of you?
198. 12:04What is He deposited in you that He would like to see come to fruition through you?
199. 12:14How can you be maximally effective in this time that God has given us?
200. 12:25One of those things, and I certainly would encourage you, and I would never try to improve
201. 12:32and intrude on anybody's consciences, but one of the low-hanging fruit is civic engagement.
202. 12:38Listen, we have an opportunity and an opportunity to do what is a rarity in world history.
203. 12:44anybody who considers the reality of humanity over the spans of time, you realize, wait a
204. 12:52minute, this concept of self-governance, constitution of Republican government with democratic features,
205. 13:02man, that's not common in the world, throughout world history.
206. 13:07But because that's where we live and I see this with people who try to condemn and complain
207. 13:12about America usually, and I don't mean this as an insult or condemnation, but usually
208. 13:18people that complain about America so vigorously have never really been anywhere else.
209. 13:22Usually not everybody and I don't want to be over-broad in my assessment but usually
210. 13:28they haven't been anywhere else.
211. 13:29But if you talk to people who have been in other places and you see people literally risking
212. 13:34their lives literally to get to this nation it should cause us to stop and consider.
213. 13:42And what?
214. 13:44I'll never forget one of my first days in law school.
215. 13:50You know, I had a classmate who was a, who was Cuban in ethnic ancestry.
216. 13:57Her parents came over first.
217. 14:00They had her here.
218. 14:03And at our loss of graduation, man, the parents gave me the biggest hug ever.
219. 14:09And the first thing I never met, this young lady's father, the first thing he said to me
220. 14:13was, I thank God for America, because God has saved my family through America.
221. 14:20When you got other people, I just want to trash the nation.
222. 14:26What is foremost required of a servant is that he or she is found faithful.
223. 14:33How can you be faithful today?
224. 14:37Do you have a vision for how you may be faithful tomorrow?
225. 14:44If you consider the reality of our lifespans, they are really the accumulation of choices
226. 14:48and decisions that we make moment by moment, day by day.
227. 14:52Resolve it in your heart that you will be considered among the ranks, counted among the
228. 14:55ranks of the faithful.
229. 15:00Those who place their faith in Jesus are elevated to an extraordinary position.
230. 15:05As co-heirs with Christ, we share in His inheritance.
231. 15:08The gospel is the ultimate dignity giver, elevating the unworthy to unimaginable heights.
232. 15:14Our lives should reflect the dignity, empowering us to extend the same grace and love to others
233. 15:19that has been so generously given to us.
234. 15:22I'm Jordan Shambly, and you can read the rest of the gospel dignified by the undignified
235. 15:27on TheStand.net.
236. 15:35Shining light into the darkness. This is the Hamilton Corner an American family radio
237. 15:41Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner Abraham Hamilton the third here. I am delighted to have on the program with me a
238. 15:47Man who was an award-winning journalist. He's a television broadcaster and radio host with over 30 years of experience

240. 16:00syndicated radio program in Michigan. It is the Steve Groover show which can be heard

244. 16:29I know many of you get the real america's voice network because you tell me please join me in welcoming to the program for the first time
245. 16:36None other than Steve Gruber Steve. Thank you for joining me here on the Hamilton corner
246. 16:42Well, it's great to be here. Thank you for having me on the corner
247. 16:45Oh, man
248. 16:46It is absolutely my privilege and I thank you because you've had me on your show your radio show once and several times
249. 16:53multiple times on your television show.
250. 16:55And so I said I want-
251. 16:56Well, because you're so good-looking.
252. 16:57Oh, well, you know, my wife does agree.
253. 17:01My wife does agree.
254. 17:03Yeah.
255. 17:05But I wanted to have a conversation with you
256. 17:06because I found you to be such an encouraging
257. 17:11wealth of information, a wealth of understanding
258. 17:12and analysis, but also you happen to live in Michigan,
259. 17:18which is gonna play a critical role
260. 17:21in this election cycle. So let's just start right there. Historically, Michigan was viewed
261. 17:26to be a part of the blue wall yet, but recently, for the first time in this election cycle,
262. 17:34polls are beginning to indicate that President Trump may win Michigan at the top of the ticket.
263. 17:38What are you seeing on the ground there in Michigan?
264. 17:41Well, there had been seven polls in a row, and it was all pretty obvious that it still is.
265. 17:47There's an outlier pool that came out today from Quinnipiac that shows Kamala Harris leading
266. 17:52by four points in Michigan.
267. 17:54Don't believe it, it's an outlier.
268. 17:55I don't know how they got that because there were, like I said, seven polls in a row that
269. 18:00showed the race either tied or Donald Trump leading by as much as three points.
270. 18:04And the polling companies, by the way, I own a company called Michigan News Source as well,
271. 18:09which is a straight news platform.
272. 18:11Great team over there does wonderful journalism.
273. 18:14We did a poll with Mitchell Research.
274. 18:15We've done three.
275. 18:16another one coming here and another week and a half just before maybe a week I guess before
276. 18:21the election day. My poll showed Trump plus one in Mitchell research is the most accurate
277. 18:28pollster in Michigan, according to Nate Silver for whatever that's worth. Atlas Intel that
278. 18:32was the number one poll back in 2020. An organization on Brazil has Trump plus three,
279. 18:38Trafalgar that's historically done very well in predicting these swing states has Trump plus
280. 18:43too. So the way I feel about it here on the ground and there's a variety of reasons for it.
281. 18:48You can start with the EV mandates that are doing great damage to the auto industry. So union folks
282. 18:54and UAW folks and people connected to the auto industry are leaving the Democrats. Listen,
283. 18:59these have always been Democrat constituents. They've always been a voting block, have the unions,
284. 19:03but you saw what happened with the Teamsters here just recently Abraham and that is the
285. 19:07teams who voted 60% and said, yeah, we're not going with Kamala Harris. We're supporting Donald Trump
286. 19:13and the teachers instead of doing the right thing and saying, well, 60% of our members
287. 19:17support Donald Trump are going to endorse him. They just didn't endorse. But here in Michigan,
288. 19:21we're seeing a great swing. And this is true around the country, working people, blue collar
289. 19:26people, people that are looking at their monthly investments or their monthly bills and going,
290. 19:32man, we're just not doing very well. I mean, my electric bill here at my house has doubled
291. 19:37in the last three years, doubled, not just gone up some, it's doubled in. And that's not unique to me.
292. 19:43I hear that story from all sorts of people.
293. 19:46So in Michigan, my feeling is the economy is the number one driver of what's going to
294. 19:50happen.
295. 19:51The Democrats have tried desperately to infuse abortion into the conversation because what
296. 19:57else they have.
297. 19:58But in Michigan, we voted on abortion a number of years ago.
298. 20:01That's coming going.
299. 20:03That's over.
300. 20:04It's been codified.
301. 20:05I don't agree with the way it happened, but that's off the table now for most people.
302. 20:09But another section of the voting population here in Michigan that is significant is the
303. 20:14Muslim population in Southeast Michigan, places like Dearborn and Hamtramic in Southeast Michigan
304. 20:19and the suburbs around Detroit, a significant number of folks who by the way don't support
305. 20:23Kamala Harris because of what's going on in Gaza.
306. 20:26And they are threatening and predicting in fact some that 200,000 votes could go to Jill
307. 20:33Stein who's on the ballot here in Michigan.
308. 20:36So a lot of games were played here.
309. 20:37Let me just dig into that for just a second.
310. 20:39Jill Stein, the Democrats sued to keep Jill Stein off the ballot in Michigan.
311. 20:44They failed.
312. 20:46They sued to keep Cornell West off the ballot.
313. 20:50They failed.
314. 20:51They sued to keep Robert F. Kennedy Jr. off the ballot.
315. 20:53They failed.
316. 20:54And then they sued to keep him on the ballot after he dropped out and they succeeded.
317. 21:00So these are the people, by the way, to tell you they want every vote to count its democracy
318. 21:04and depending. They want to vote to count. If that's true, why would they sue to keep Robert
319. 21:08F. Kennedy on the ballot when he has dropped a pursuit of the White House? I mean, it speaks
320. 21:14for itself. But right now, I believe Donald Trump's winning Michigan by about a point, maybe
321. 21:20a point and a half. Now, I don't know what the variables are going to be. We know that he
322. 21:24outperformed the polls in 2016. He outperformed the polls again in 2020. I mean, Joe Biden
323. 21:30only won the presidency by 44,000 votes spread across three states, Arizona, Wisconsin and Georgia.
324. 21:37That's it. There's the White House. There's the whole shooting match. Those three states
325. 21:41determine the outcome of the election at 44,000 votes. And it's going to be close. But I think,
326. 21:48I think in Michigan, you're looking at about 60, 80,000 vote margin for Donald Trump. It'll be
327. 21:55close because they demonize down in front of every step of the way here in Michigan.
328. 22:01And everywhere else you saw it again with Kamala Harris basically saying, well, Donald Trump
329. 22:05is Hitler and he wants generals that are like Hitler and all this. It's just like, you know,
330. 22:10we see this too often. But right now in Michigan, if I was going to put my finger in the air,
331. 22:15I will say, and I talked to Donald Trump a number of times this year. And every time he
332. 22:20talk to you as you know, if we win Michigan, we win. He believes that I believe that and
333. 22:25I believe right now it's advantage Trump in Michigan.
334. 22:29That leads me to my next question because I was literally about to ask you, what do you
335. 22:33see the significance of the outcome in Michigan for the electoral college in terms of who ultimately
336. 22:38wins the presidency? You alluded to it already. Why do you believe Michigan as Michigan goes
337. 22:44so goes the presidential race?
338. 22:46Well, because I think if Michigan ends up in the red column, so does Pennsylvania. Wisconsin
339. 22:52probably as well, but if Michigan goes Pennsylvania goes. And so that's a significant block right
340. 22:57there. I mean, if you look at the map, if you consider the seven swing states, I think
341. 23:03you can probably at this point take Arizona and Georgia off the map. I think that the lead
342. 23:10by Donald Trump in Arizona and Georgia is significant enough that they're probably not
343. 23:14really up for grabs anymore. I think they're outside the margin of error. I do. Not everybody
344. 23:22will agree with that. North Carolina is more problematic. North Carolina's voted for Donald
345. 23:27Trump twice, but that whole hurricane thing. So I had boots on the ground. People in North
346. 23:34Carolina here just a couple of days ago, they spoke to a woman as an example whose polling
347. 23:40place had been destroyed by the floods. Her pulling place had been two miles from her house.
348. 23:45They said, no problem. We have a new polling place for you. You can go vote there. It's 50
349. 23:49mile, 50 miles away. That's her new polling place. These are not people of means. These are people
350. 23:56that are, you know, struggling as much as anybody, maybe more so. The western part of
351. 24:01North Carolina, the mountains, these are not wealthy people by and large. These are
352. 24:04working class, lower middle class people, and driving 50 miles, 100 miles round trip,
353. 24:11and putting gas in the car to do that, it's an ask. It's a pretty big lift for some folks.
354. 24:16So carpool people, please. So North Carolina, less likely. But Michigan would offset North
355. 24:24Carolina because here's the math of it. If Donald Trump wins Georgia, North Carolina,
356. 24:29in Pennsylvania, that's the ball game and holds on to the other states he had in 2016.
357. 24:35That's the ball game. It's over. He wins. So if you lose North Carolina, his path then
358. 24:40needs Michigan to get there, right? Or Arizona or whatever. Michigan's easier. Arizona's only
359. 24:4711, Michigan's 15. And so North Carolina's what 15 as well, I think. So that's how you
360. 24:53get there. That's why it's so important. 16. There you go. Yeah, we lost one. They didn't.
361. 24:58right. That's right. Yeah. So there you go. That's why it's so important and critically important.
362. 25:03And in North Carolina, I mean, it was all red until a couple of recent polls where
363. 25:10atlas intel, again, one of the most accurate polls had Harris plus two here on the 17th of October.
364. 25:17We'll see what happens because as you know, Donald Trump is always outperforming the polls.
365. 25:22And you're seeing that here are some big indicators for me. You look at Pennsylvania.
366. 25:27And you look at the Senate race there and you see the Democrat, you know, incumbent is now saying, I
367. 25:36supported Donald Trump on this and in in Alissa slot can in Michigan the Democrat
368. 25:41for an open seat there doing the same. You know, I voted for Trump on this and the same thing
369. 25:46with Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin. Yeah, Wisconsin doing the same thing. These senators Casey and Bob
370. 25:53Casey in Pennsylvania, Alyssa Slodkin in Michigan, Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin.
371. 25:58Oh look, Donald Trump, he's a threat to democracy, he's Hitler, but hey, I voted with him. I mean,
372. 26:03really? I mean, that's your line. There's Chuck Schumer sitting at the Al Smith dinner, chuckling
373. 26:09along to Donald Trump. He's a threat to democracy, he'll destroy America. Oh, but I can go to dinner
374. 26:14with him and have jokes. Come on, people. I mean, that is such dishonest reporting. I've met Donald
375. 26:20Trump a number of times. He is not at all what they've described. In fact, he was never a racist
376. 26:26until he decided to run for president. And then I guess that NAACP award that he won and
377. 26:31the time that he spent without Sharpton and all these other folks and come on.
378. 26:36Look, they made fun of Mitt Romney for having a black grandchild that had been adopted into his
379. 26:41family. I mean, this is how grotesque some of these people on the left will be.
380. 26:45But I think that is, I think it's catching up with him. Go ahead.
381. 26:47No, I think you're absolutely right.
382. 26:49And it is very, very telling, which you just stated
383. 26:53is worth running a highlighter over,
384. 26:55where you have Senator Tammy Baldwin and Ms. Wisconsin,
385. 26:58you have senators in Pennsylvania,
386. 27:00that are Democrat senators,
387. 27:02that are now publicly affirming the things
388. 27:06that they voted along with President Trump with.
389. 27:10That's right.
390. 27:11Why would they do that?
391. 27:12Harry Baldwin and Bob Casey.
392. 27:13Well, yeah, Bob, why would they do that?
393. 27:16But and here's the thing about Wisconsin.
394. 27:18This is why I think it's dangerous for the Democrats.
395. 27:21Here's the thing, right now,
396. 27:23the average in Montana is Tim Sheehy,
397. 27:25the challenger to John Tester,
398. 27:27long time incumbent Democrat John Tester,
399. 27:29who I went to college in Montana, let me tell you,
400. 27:31this guy, he might be from Montana.
401. 27:33He lost a couple of fingers to a corn picker somewhere along
402. 27:35the way, yes, he's a farmer this net,
403. 27:37but he does not fit Montana.
404. 27:38I mean, him voting with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
405. 27:40and open borders and so forth, look, they're not buying that.
406. 27:42So Montana's going red, West Virginia's already gone,
407. 27:46Trust me on that, I mean, that's done, that's red.
408. 27:50So there's two, that gives the Republicans 51.
409. 27:54There's some thoughts that they could lose Nebraska,
410. 27:56that's not gonna happen.
411. 27:57Deb Fisher will hold onto Nebraska,
412. 27:59mark my words on that.
413. 28:00There's a good challenger there, Osborn,
414. 28:03who's an independent, but he's not gonna pull it off.
415. 28:06Not they're dumping tons of money in there.
416. 28:08So then you've got four close races
417. 28:09because I didn't mention Ohio.
418. 28:11Marino's doing really well in Ohio against Sherrod Brown.
419. 28:15So you've got that happening as well.
420. 28:16So you've got four states that are all like neck and neck now for Senate seats.
421. 28:20I'm going to guess the Republicans pull two of those, which two, I don't know, you know,
422. 28:25if you go back and look at what's happened in Wisconsin historically, right?
423. 28:31They told us Senator Ron Johnson in 2016 was getting creamed.
424. 28:34He was dead.
425. 28:35He was six points under.
426. 28:36He was all done, right?
427. 28:38That's what they say.
428. 28:39Yeah.
429. 28:40Yeah.
430. 28:41And he won.
431. 28:42And that's why I think that Tammy Baldwin's in real trouble.
432. 28:44This content is notoriously tough state to pull.
433. 28:47I don't know why, but everybody says the same thing.
434. 28:50All these pollsters that I know, and I know Robert Cahaly at Trafalgar.
435. 28:55I know some of these people.
436. 28:56I know Mark Mitchell at Rasperson, and they say Wisconsin is just really hard to pull.
437. 29:01I can't tell you why it's just really hard for them to get accurate numbers.
438. 29:05And so when they say, Tammy Baldwin's winning by a point, nobody there's going to be surprised,
439. 29:10very hooved, comes out and wins by two.
440. 29:12They're just not going to be surprised.
441. 29:14I'll tell you right now.
442. 29:15So you've got those four states,
443. 29:16all the Great Lakes States, Wisconsin, Michigan,
444. 29:19Pennsylvania and Ohio for the Great Lakes States
445. 29:22right there that could certainly put Republicans
446. 29:27in a commanding lead, but it really doesn't matter.
447. 29:29If you have 51 or 53 or 54,
448. 29:32not a heck of a lot of difference until you get to 60.
449. 29:34But it would be nice.
450. 29:35Anything under 60 is the same, pretty much.
451. 29:37For the most part, right.
452. 29:39But it would be nice to have 53, 54, 55
453. 29:43a really good night. And take that into the next election cycle. That would be a nice place to be
454. 29:49going in to the next round. So it's all important stuff. Donald Trump is in the position to carry
455. 29:58these people over the finish line. Now, yeah, I think your assessment is right. And it's
456. 30:05to be good for people to know we'll have election night coverage right here in American Family
457. 30:08Radio. I'll be a part of it that evening. I want to ask this question to be getting close to the break.
458. 30:13So I expect to have to carry this over into the next segment.
459. 30:16But the question is twofold.
460. 30:19One, would you describe our audiences here, what you think the significance is of the Senate
461. 30:26racist?
462. 30:27Because there are lots of people who focus on the top of the ticket, they don't realize
463. 30:29there are lots of down ballot races, its implications for the interaction with the executive, but
464. 30:35also for the things happening in people's, in their own neck of the woods.
465. 30:39and then secondarily the political impact of having president Trump at the top of the ticket
466. 30:43and how that could affect down ballot races.
467. 30:45Let's start with the first half first.
468. 30:47What is the significance of the makeup of Congress in the Senate in particular?
469. 30:53And it's in matter.
470. 30:54Yes.
471. 30:55Let me tell you why it matters.
472. 30:56This is very simple.
473. 30:58At the end of the next term, whoever the president is, at the end of the next term, Clarence Thomas
474. 31:04will be 80 and Thomas Alito will be 78.
475. 31:09your Supreme Court majority. So if the Republicans get 51 votes or more, and it's probably better
476. 31:18to have more because you have people like Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski who are both
477. 31:21a little mushy to say the least.
478. 31:23Don't forget about me. Put them up. Put them up. Mittens are on the put them all. He'll
479. 31:28be gone. Thank you. Yeah, he'll be gone. But my point being is, and as much as I don't
480. 31:34like Mitch McConnell. I have to give credit where credit is due. Mitch McConnell delivered
481. 31:39three conservative Supreme Court justices, maybe not as conservative as I'd like. They're
482. 31:44not Samuel Alito, but they're better than what we had. And so why is the Senate important?
483. 31:49Three things the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court. That's why it matters.
484. 31:54Well said. You are listening to the Hamilton corner. My guest is Steve Gruber, host of the
485. 31:59Steve Gruber show, which can be heard six to nine a.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday.

488. 32:15his insights, being on the ground in Michigan and his awareness with his experience and his
489. 32:19context.
490. 32:20You need to tune in, tap in, tell a friend, share the show.
491. 32:30The following is from an article by Dr. Jessica Peck, host of the Dr. Nurse Momma Show.

499. 33:15Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third. We're already in the final segment
500. 33:19of the show is speeding by today. My guest is Steve Gruber, host of the Seize
501. 33:24Gruber Show, which can be heard Monday through Friday's 6 to 9 a.m. Eastern. I
502. 33:28I wholeheartedly commend to you his website,
503. 33:30stevegruber.com.
504. 33:33There are lots of information available to you there.
505. 33:35Those who are in Michigan,
506. 33:36if you don't already know how you can catch Steve's show,
507. 33:39you can connect to all of the affiliates right there
508. 33:41on his website, or you can go in addition to that.
509. 33:45I encourage you to go to americasvoice.news,
510. 33:48which is where you can be connected
511. 33:49to his television show,
512. 33:51a real America's voice that airs
513. 33:52in the afternoons one to three PM Eastern.
514. 33:55Before we went to the break, I was asking a question
515. 33:58to Steve about the Senate.
516. 34:00And while we were doing the break,
517. 34:01he mentioned he wanted to bring up one point in particular.
518. 34:03Steve, I wanted to give you the floor
519. 34:04to go ahead and make, to address the point you want to address.
520. 34:08Well, I want to point this out
521. 34:10because I keep hearing this number,
522. 34:11and you might know more about it than I do,
523. 34:13but I keep hearing this number that in 2020,
524. 34:1732 million self-identified Christians did not cast a ballot.
525. 34:23Guys, what are we doing here?
526. 34:26What are we doing here?
527. 34:27I mean, honestly, if you want abortion up to the moment
528. 34:31of birth or up until fifth grade,
529. 34:33I guess like a lot of Democrats would like, I suppose, right?
530. 34:38Then don't vote or let them control the narrative
531. 34:40because here's what will happen.
532. 34:42When I talk about the Supreme Court,
533. 34:43this is why it's so critically important.
534. 34:45If the Democrats ended up in the White House
535. 34:48this time or next time or whenever they get there
536. 34:51and they have a Senate that's either 50, 50 or 51, 49
537. 34:56in their favorite, they're gonna get rid of the filibuster.
538. 34:58Yeah.
539. 34:59And when they get rid of the filibuster,
540. 35:01they're going to pack the Supreme Court.
541. 35:02It's not a matter of whether they're gonna do it.
542. 35:04It's a matter of whether they get a chance to do it.
543. 35:06And so we need to stop that and keep that obey
544. 35:09for as long as possible and put things in place
545. 35:12that prevent that from happening
546. 35:13because most people in America don't want that to happen.
547. 35:15So I say to anybody listening or watching here today,
548. 35:18you've got to vote.
549. 35:19I've already voted in Michigan
550. 35:20and look, it's the first time I've ever done it.
551. 35:22And I get that a lot of people do not trust the system
552. 35:26or they think that the machines won't work right
553. 35:28or whatever the case may be,
554. 35:29but I can guarantee you this.
555. 35:31There's one way to make sure your vote doesn't count.
556. 35:36That is to never cast it.
557. 35:38And I guarantee if you don't cast a vote,
558. 35:39it will never count.
559. 35:41So you have to have some faith in the system,
560. 35:45and yet it has some faith in massive numbers.
561. 35:49Because as I look around,
562. 35:50I see enthusiasm for Donald Trump.
563. 35:52Everything's trending in his direction.
564. 35:54And I know a lot of people,
565. 35:55well, they're turned off by Trump.
566. 35:56They don't like what he says.
567. 35:57Look, I'm not voting for a pastor.
568. 36:00I'm not voting for a teacher to be in the pulpit.
569. 36:02I have people that I deal with in that world
570. 36:07that teach me the word of God
571. 36:09and we share experiences and so forth.
572. 36:12But we have to have somebody that believes in this country,
573. 36:15that believes that is a general proposition,
574. 36:18abortion is wrong, that having an open border
575. 36:21and not vetting people and just letting anybody come in
576. 36:24and move into your neighborhood is wrong.
577. 36:26That having governments stand on the backs of small businesses
578. 36:28and regulate them out of existence is wrong.
579. 36:32To take and destroy our energy sector
580. 36:35so that other countries can dominate us is wrong.
581. 36:39And that the idea that you can take a boy
582. 36:41and send them into surgery
583. 36:43and turn them into a girl is wrong.
584. 36:46We need something that has the fundamental understanding
585. 36:48of the world that we live in, a fundamental common sense.
586. 36:51And so I say to anybody of those 32 million Christians,
587. 36:54and people in faith that have not voted, I say, what's wrong with you? Make a plan, get out there
588. 36:59and vote. I don't care what it takes and take a couple of people with you. There are no excuses
589. 37:04to sit on the sidelines this time around. That's the end of my little speech.
590. 37:08Well, I can tell you your speech is well received by this audience. I can tell you that for sure.
591. 37:14And you say it for the first time you did it for the first time. I'm pretty sure you're referring
592. 37:17to voting early as opposed to. I am. So yeah, you know, in fact, I filled out Michigan has
593. 37:24the voting began in late September here. You can get an absentee ballot and I took it down to
594. 37:32the drop box. I just live in a township. It only has a couple thousand people in my township. It's
595. 37:37not big, it's not small, it's just somewhere between Lansing and Arbor and Southern Michigan.
596. 37:42But I called my township and said, hey, how does it work? What's the drop box like? It's a drop box,
597. 37:47it's secure, it's got a camera on it 24 hours a day. And did you see this, by the way, speaking of
598. 37:52which how far would the Democrats go in Montana today? A Democratic Senator of Campaign Committee
599. 38:00operative, Lozlo Gendler, was caught on one of those 24-hour cameras trying to remove
600. 38:06a ballot drop box from the wall where it was in Glacier County, Montana. And again,
601. 38:14I go back to that critical Senate race in Montana. Some of these folks will do anything.
602. 38:21Why does it always Democrats get caught doing this stuff? Why is it always
603. 38:24Democrat? You know, the ones that want every vote to count and all that nonsense. Believe in
604. 38:27democracy, no, they don't. They don't. Anyhow, I don't guess. Well, well, no, you haven't digressed
605. 38:33at all. And I was thinking and I have some sound on it, but I just want to ask you for the sake of
606. 38:37time, because I'm pretty sure you saw this story where it's being reported now that the British Labor
607. 38:43party. The British Labor Party has paid for staffers that are just happening to make that
608. 38:51trek across the ocean to volunteer for the Harris campaign. What do you make of that story? Because
609. 38:59I thought foreign interference into our elections was a problem. Was that?
610. 39:04Well, there's that. And there's that. I just saw Tim Wal standing there, telling his son how to
611. 39:11voted a polling place, by the way, that's the illegal in Minnesota and pretty much everywhere
612. 39:14else.
613. 39:15But I also saw the British Labor Party was targeting Elon Musk trying to figure out how
614. 39:19to destroy Twitter.
615. 39:20Yes, and specifically, is specifically gaining an audience over the last several years with
616. 39:25elected Democrat officials, including Senator Amy Klobuchar.
617. 39:28Of course.
618. 39:29I mean, these people all, they're all together in this.
619. 39:33And when you hear them saying these outrageous things about, oh, you know, people have done
620. 39:36They're fascist.
621. 39:38They are the masters of projecting.
622. 39:42The masters, anything they're accusing the other side of doing, take a look a little bit
623. 39:46closer, you're likely going to find them doing the exact thing they're accusing others of
624. 39:50doing by projecting it onto them.
625. 39:52Oh, look at this over here.
626. 39:53Look at the he's just terrible what he's doing over here.
627. 39:56Look, Donald Trump didn't weaponize the Department of Justice.
628. 40:00The people that are there now did that, or maybe when Barack Obama got there, they did
629. 40:04that.
630. 40:05Donald Trump didn't suppress news stories.
631. 40:09The corporate media in America did that
632. 40:11with the help of their friends and Democrats oricals.
633. 40:14I mean, let's just be honest about what we know
634. 40:16and what we know is when they keep telling you things
635. 40:19like that, the truth is they're almost always doing it
636. 40:24themselves.
637. 40:25Yeah.
638. 40:27That is it's striking.
639. 40:30So what do people in our nation,
640. 40:34and as I mentioned you during the break,
641. 40:36this audience is surprised people from all over this country, you know, from coast to
642. 40:39coast, north to south, you name it, they're in. What do the people listening to us need
643. 40:45to know about the British Labor Party? What is it about the Labor Party that would have
644. 40:49them to make a choice in the American election so much so where they're willing to travel
645. 40:53to canvas? Here's what you need to know. When you look at the people that gather in Davos
646. 41:01every year. When you look at the World Economic Forum, when you look at the World Health Organization,
647. 41:08it's funny he keeps you in the same faces pop up, right? John Kerry shows up lurch as I like to climb,
648. 41:13hoo, hoo, hoo, John Kerry shows up, you know, pontificating about, you know, climate change and
649. 41:19he's too important to fly commercial. He needs to fly a private jet. He's really busy in
650. 41:24an hurry, you know, and such other disingenuous things like that. You know, and Greta Thunberg
651. 41:30against the person that's the brain trust for these folks.
652. 41:32It's pretty dangerous.
653. 41:33How dare you?
654. 41:34Yeah, how dare you.
655. 41:36The bottom line is this.
656. 41:39These folks that are globalists are all in this mindset together that somehow they're smarter,
657. 41:47more gifted, more apt to give the right answer about how we should live.
658. 41:52They want us in 15-minute cities so that we can own nothing and be happy.
659. 41:58They want us to be subservient to them in a place where there is no God, of course, God
660. 42:02will be removed from the conversation because that's just deviant behavior to worship God.
661. 42:09You see, what they really hate is the indispensable right.
662. 42:14And the indispensable right is the first amendment of the United States Constitution.
663. 42:19That is the indispensable and the most hub of it of all rights.
664. 42:26I mean, think about it.
665. 42:27Freedom of speech, freedom of press,
666. 42:28freedom of religion, freedom to gather peaceably
667. 42:31and a redress of grievances.
668. 42:33I believe those are the five things you'll find
669. 42:35in the First Amendment, the United States Constitution, right?
670. 42:38It is the most envied piece of governance
671. 42:43written anywhere in the world.
672. 42:44It has been for almost 250 years.
673. 42:47I mean, it is the indispensable amendment.
674. 42:50The First Amendment of the United States Constitution
675. 42:52is the envy of the world.
676. 42:54And these people want to destroy it.
677. 42:56I mean, when you hear these people out here,
678. 42:59Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, Hillary Clinton,
679. 43:02oh, you know, free speech doesn't include hate speech
680. 43:05and disinformation, of course it does.
681. 43:08That's specifically what it would defend.
682. 43:11If I say something that you find highly offensive,
683. 43:13sorry, that's my right to do that.
684. 43:16If you're offended or angry, that's okay.
685. 43:18And this goes all the way back for me.
686. 43:21I don't know how old you are, but 1977,
687. 43:24was 11 years old in the summer of 1977, and the Nazis marched in Illinois, right? Little
688. 43:31town in Illinois that was a Jewish town, right? And the United States Supreme Court issued
689. 43:38a ruling saying, yes, the Nazis can march down the street in this Jewish community. And I
690. 43:43said to my mother, I said, that's terrible. Why would they allow that to happen? They
691. 43:47should never know that's just awful. My mother said, listen, my mother who taught fifth grade
692. 43:51for 30 years. So listen, the only way you know whether you agree with something or disagree
693. 43:58with somebody or somebody's right or somebody's doing something terribly wrong is to hear
694. 44:01them talk. If they don't talk, you never know what they're thinking. You never know what
695. 44:04they're up to. You never know what their motives are. So we need more speech. We need to be able
696. 44:08to hear these people. She was right. And that's why the Nazis marched in 1977 through the
697. 44:15the streets of a Jewish community in Illinois.
698. 44:19It's why the Klan can still have gatherings
699. 44:25on the public square, but by doing that,
700. 44:28you know how awful the Klan is,
701. 44:30you know how awful the Nazis were that marched there
702. 44:33in Skokie, Illinois, you know how awful they are
703. 44:36because you were able to hear their disgusting,
704. 44:39abhorrent comments, right?
705. 44:41And if you didn't know, you wouldn't know how awful they were.
706. 44:44So I want more speech.
707. 44:45And when these people say, oh, misinformation,
708. 44:47who are you to decide for me what's real and what's not real?
709. 44:52I mean, are you to go shut down the National Enquirer?
710. 44:54I mean, I write on the National Enquirer
711. 44:55that monkeys live on the moon
712. 44:57and that Elvis is serving hamburgers in Kalamazoo.
713. 45:01Should we shut them down for disinformation
714. 45:03or misinformation for violating,
715. 45:05you know, the rights of being accurate?
716. 45:09No, and I don't want a government agency
717. 45:10telling me what I'm allowed to see reader here.
718. 45:14We already have enough control
719. 45:15of the things that you see reading here, because there's a small group of people that in my
720. 45:18entire life have controlled pretty much everything that I see reading here by way of, you know,
721. 45:22corporate media and publication companies and those that produce books and CDs and everything
722. 45:28else. So there's a handful of people that control most of that already anyway. And that's why I think
723. 45:34one of the greatest things that's ever happened is Elon Musk spending $44 billion to buy Twitter
724. 45:42and set it free. I still call it Twitter, by the way, I'm old school.
725. 45:46And I call it the artist formerly known as Twitter.
726. 45:49Right. The artist formerly known as, but I mean, that is the most wonderful thing.
727. 45:54Yeah.
728. 45:54Speech.
729. 45:56Well, you still understand it.
730. 45:57I'm not anybody to say anything. Go ahead.
731. 45:58Well, you still understand in this country that the answer when you have
732. 46:02putrid ideas, you know, anathema ideas, the solution was never to crush their ability to
733. 46:09to espouse them, it was to expose the fallacy and the problems with those ideas with more
734. 46:15speech.
735. 46:16But what you have happening and you rightly point out that the seemingly consistent connector
736. 46:23to the globalists among us, whether they be domestic Americans or not, is their universal
737. 46:29disdain for the First Amendment.
738. 46:31You mentioned Lurch, which I call him Lurch too, that was funny.
739. 46:34Lurch was in front of the World Economic Forum a couple of weeks ago lamenting that we
740. 46:39We had a first amendment that it was a hindrance to being able, and this was his exact word,
741. 46:44to hammer out ideas that he found non-approachable within public discourse.
742. 46:53That seems to be a consistent phenomenon.
743. 46:55We're coming to the very end of the program.
744. 46:57I'm sorry?
745. 46:58Yeah.
746. 46:59It's thoughts that he did like the thought police.
747. 47:00I mean, welcome to 1984.
748. 47:02It came a few years late, but it came.
749. 47:05It absolutely did.
750. 47:07I'll do with you, what you often do with me on your program.
751. 47:11I'll give you the final word as we're heading up to the end of the show because what you describe
752. 47:16seems to be a clash of worldviews.
753. 47:19Is it not?
754. 47:20It is a clash of worldviews.
755. 47:22Do you want to be free?
756. 47:24Do you want to be able to speak your mind?
757. 47:25Do you want to be able to worship?
758. 47:27I mean, in other countries, Christians have to go off in secret and worship.
759. 47:33like Jews did in Germany in the 1930s. Or do you want to be able to worship in public as you see fit?
760. 47:39You know, these folks would strip these churches of the non-profit status they have.
761. 47:44And in order to do that, you have to save the Supreme Court. In order to save the Supreme Court,
762. 47:48you have to vote. Vote for freedom. That's Donald Trump. That's for Republicans to be senators.
763. 47:53God bless you, Save America. We can do this together.
764. 47:57Steve, grew with ladies and gentlemen. Steve, thank you so much for being
765. 48:01on the program with me.
766. 48:02Folks, share the show with your friends and loved ones.
767. 48:05As I started the program, I will conclude it.
768. 48:08What is foremost required of a servant
769. 48:09that he be found faithful.
770. 48:12We all have the same 24 hours in the day.
771. 48:13We all have the same opportunities.
772. 48:15What will we do with the time and the opportunities that we have?
773. 48:21What is foremost required of a servant
774. 48:22is that he or she be found faithful.
775. 48:25Faithfulness is the order of the day.
776. 48:28You will have a wonderful evening.
777. 48:30Lord willing, we'll be back tomorrow. Have a great evening, everybody.
