President Trump’s plan for dealing with the cartels is a welcome departure from the disaster that was the last four years.

1. 0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
2. 0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
3. 0:07This is the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
4. 0:11It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
5. 0:15Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
6. 0:18And the philosophies of this world.
7. 0:20God has called you and me to be his ambassador.
8. 0:24Even in this dark moment.
9. 0:26Let's not miss our moment.
10. 0:29And now the Hamilton Corner.
11. 0:33Good evening, everyone.
12. 0:34Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio.
13. 0:38I'm your host Abraham Hamilton.
14. 0:39The third joined by the corner contingent right across from me,
15. 0:43my man 100 grand, Mr. Bobby.
16. 0:47And in the screen, I'm a producer extraordinaire, often imitated,
17. 0:49but never duplicated to the real J. Mac is in the building.
18. 0:55And we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program.
19. 0:59I am intending to get to a more discourse on Trump administration nominations. It was announced
20. 1:07just today that RFK Jr. has been officially declared Mr. Trump's pick for Secretary of Department
21. 1:15of the Department of Health and Human Services. So it is interesting. I said yesterday, I'll say
22. 1:21it again. Most of his picks, I think, have been good, but there's some that I'm concerned about,
23. 1:28You know, but I will tell you my posture will be more wait and see I'm not gonna bang a drum and be a fire breathing dragon on it
24. 1:38Because clearly to me he seems far more prepared president Trump. I'm talking about to govern
25. 1:43You know I've said long said
26. 1:45Campaigning is one thing governing is an entirely different phenomenon. He seems far more prepared to govern
27. 1:51Then he was in when he was elected in 2016, so
28. 1:54So I will lodge my concern, express my concern about those nominations that I'm a little
29. 2:00bit more cautious about, but I'm not going to blow the house down huff and puff like the
30. 2:08big bad wolf because it's clear that the American people made their voices heard and wanting
31. 2:15to have a radically different direction for our nation, which I completely am on board
32. 2:21with.
33. 2:22very moment. Many of you, if not most of you, are making your transition from your part-time jobs,
34. 2:29where you generate an income to your full-time job, your full-time jobs, which is outcome
35. 2:36cultivation. As you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality, understanding the
36. 2:42primacy that God places on the family. And I want to tell Jay Mac, I didn't tell him before that,
37. 2:49that the scripture I'm going to go to today is Proverbs 14, verses 33 and 34, Proverbs
38. 2:5514 verses 33 and 34 is what we're going to go today.
39. 3:03But it's vitally important as you're making your transition to understand the primacy that
40. 3:06God places on family to recognize the truth of the statement, what goes on in your house
41. 3:13is far more important, far more important than what goes on in the White House.
42. 3:19It is imperative that you understand that.
43. 3:23We have cast our votes.
44. 3:25We've made our voices heard in terms of how we want the government to be filled.
45. 3:32But I have to tell you, the change in trajectory for our nation cannot solely be an economic
46. 3:39change.
47. 3:40I'm sorry, a political change, a governmental change.
48. 3:44We have to change course in our nation.
49. 3:48The people in our nation must chart a different course, which means the gospel must be proclaimed
50. 3:55and disciples must be made.
51. 3:57We have to understand the urgency of the moment.
52. 4:00And you've heard me say long, long, long, long times, many times repeatedly that an increasingly
53. 4:06wicked populace will not endure godly government.
54. 4:10Government is not the root.
55. 4:13It's the fruit.
56. 4:14It's the evidence of where our nation has been by and Lord.
57. 4:19And we have to be very wary of the fact that many can conflate or more, I say it said better,
58. 4:27misconstrued what's happening in the government and function as if government is God.
59. 4:32Now, I know a lot of people, especially those who voted for the current administration and
60. 4:36you know, GOP majority in the Senate and ultimately in the House, they wouldn't verbally say government
61. 4:41is God.
62. 4:42But I'm asking practically and functionally, where does our hope lie?
63. 4:47Where does our confidence lie?
64. 4:50I, like many of you, will enjoy seeing major changes
65. 4:55transpire on the governmental front,
66. 4:56but make no mistake about it,
67. 4:58the most enduring and desperate need
68. 4:59for the American people is repentance.
69. 5:03Straight up, it's repentance.
70. 5:05Proverbs 14, as I said, is what we're gonna go.
71. 5:07Proverbs 14, verses 33 and 34,
72. 5:14as a reminder of the book of Proverbs,
73. 5:15it's wisdom, literature,
74. 5:17where the depths of each verse can be plumbed individually.
75. 5:20It's one of the only, one of the few portions of scripture
76. 5:24and what they only book certainly,
77. 5:26the entire book is a book of Proverbs.
78. 5:31But it's, the wisdom of God is made available to us.
79. 5:34I still marvel at the supernatural blessing it is
80. 5:40to have the word of God available to us.
81. 5:43And this is what the word of God says.
82. 5:45Word of God says wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding.
83. 5:55But in the hearts of fools, it is made known righteousness exultation, but sin is a
84. 6:06disgrace to any people.
85. 6:09Read that again.
86. 6:09Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding, but in the hearts of fools,
87. 6:15it is made known.
88. 6:16Righteousness exults a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.
89. 6:23One of the major things that the scripture points out over and over and over again
90. 6:28is that a man of understanding is one who doesn't have the need to talk a lot.
91. 6:40Notice I said the need.
92. 6:43It doesn't mean that a man of understanding doesn't talk a lot.
93. 6:46It doesn't mean that you can't talk a lot, but doesn't have the need to talk.
94. 6:52Have you ever been in a situation where you're having a conversation and in supposed to be a conversation where really it's a monologue with
95. 6:58Paulism in between
96. 7:01because the other party is talking and
97. 7:03They don't really want to hear what you have to say they just are waiting for the next opportunity to speak
98. 7:08Well the converse of this this very verse another verse and proverb says
99. 7:13That a fool is counted as wise as long as he stays silent
100. 7:18You have a man who is foolish
101. 7:20But as long as he don't say anything, long as the foolish man doesn't talk, nobody knows.
102. 7:28He's a fool.
103. 7:29But the moment the yap opens, the yap reveals all.
104. 7:38This first verse is describing the wise man who because he is a wise man, because this is
105. 7:46a wise person, there is no need, no need to speak. The wise person can speak. The wise person,
106. 8:01when they do speak, it'll be phenomenal what they share, but they don't have the need to speak,
107. 8:06because wisdom rests in them. The same book of Proverbs lays out repeatedly over and over again,
108. 8:14How does one become wise that the Lord's word makes wise the simple that you become a man of understanding by feasting on
109. 8:23The spread that is the Lord's word
110. 8:27Wisdom rests in the heart of one who has understanding
111. 8:30but in the hearts of fools because the fools
112. 8:36cannot resist the necessity to
113. 8:40verbally up chuck
114. 8:43and so when that blabber is
115. 8:47is exposed, wisdom confronts the blabber,
116. 8:51and what's made evident is what is imprudent versus what is prudent.
117. 8:57As I'm speaking, I know many of you have had those experiences.
118. 9:01This person doesn't know up from down, but they cannot stop talking.
119. 9:06Can I stop talking? Another example of the same scripture?
120. 9:12Respond not to a fool according to his folly.
121. 9:19Don't allow the fool to draw you in to their territory.
122. 9:22Then it says, in his conversion, they respond to a fool according to his father.
123. 9:27I mean, the word about his replete, Proverbs 18, he who speaks first seems right until another
124. 9:34comes and examines him.
125. 9:35That's what this verse is talking about, that the fool is expressive, but in expressing
126. 9:42that idiocy wisdom is made evident because it's contrasted with what is presented from
127. 9:48the fool.
128. 9:50It's not coincidental that the very next proverb begins.
129. 9:55Righteousness exalcination.
130. 9:58You'll see all throughout the proverbs that righteousness and wisdom are paired often.
131. 10:04Righteousness and wisdom are paired often.
132. 10:06You have the proverb writer articulating an individual phenomenon and then exporting the
133. 10:14cumulation of that individual phenomenon as to what transpires in a nation.
134. 10:20I've described it to my children this way.
135. 10:22God being infinitely wise, He's giving you how many eyes?
136. 10:26Two, He's giving you how many ears?
137. 10:28Two, and how many miles has He's given you?
138. 10:30Has He given you?
139. 10:32One, I said, you should listen and observe far more
140. 10:35than you speak?
141. 10:37That means you shouldn't speak,
142. 10:39but you should listen and watch far more than you speak,
143. 10:41because that is one of the ways God has given us to learn.
144. 10:45Now, doesn't mean you remain mute,
145. 10:47because we must speak, but we wanna make sure
146. 10:50that our words are waiting and that this season with salt,
147. 10:53we don't wanna be people who are frivolous in our speech.
148. 11:01So when you watch wisdom and then it's pairing
149. 11:05with righteousness, the Lord then goes on to explain
150. 11:08through his proverb writer, righteousness exalts a nation.
151. 11:12That's right, that's why the word of God tells us.
152. 11:14Be slow to speak, slow to anger, quick to listen.
153. 11:25Then righteousness exalts a nation.
154. 11:28But sentence is it is grace to any people.
155. 11:35I am speaking in this way consistently
156. 11:37because I wanna make sure our audience here understands
157. 11:40what the target must be.
158. 11:42We cannot afford to get off of what the target must be.
159. 11:46The target that our nation must be trained toward
160. 11:49is righteousness.
161. 11:52I want to have a booming economy.
162. 11:55I enjoyed when home mortgages were at 2%.
163. 11:59That was fantastic.
164. 12:01You know, I want people to be able to keep their possessions and work hard and eat the
165. 12:08fruit of their wages, but that is not the primary target.
166. 12:13I want people to be able to speak freely.
167. 12:16But more importantly than speaking freely, is speaking wisely with the freedom that we
168. 12:21had.
169. 12:23I want people to have the rights that are protected, secured to us by government that would allow
170. 12:28the Christ followers to advance our kingdom objective.
171. 12:34We cannot afford to get off of the target.
172. 12:38Righteousness is what exultination.
173. 12:42My prayers for this audience is when you hear the expressions,
174. 12:45make America great again, make America healthy again,
175. 12:48that your immediate refrain is make America righteous
176. 12:52because greatness and health even.
177. 12:55What good would a do a man have physical health
178. 12:58yet his soul is eternally damned?
179. 13:04We want to have the perspective that we have the eternal view that impacts our engagement in the here and now.
180. 13:13It is because of our eternal confidence that we are motivated, that we are invigorated to do life according to the auspices of our King.
181. 13:26Righteousness, exultination, sin is our approach to any people.
182. 13:36You want to study what transpired all across the nation, all across the world and various iterations?
183. 13:42Sin is what doomed them.
184. 13:48We should never have the type of hubris to think that what we know has transpired in
185. 13:54world history would happen to Israel, what happened to Judah, what happened to Rome, what
186. 14:00happened to Babylon, what happened to Persia, what happened to Greece, to think that it cannot
187. 14:04happen to America.
188. 14:05What happened to England?
189. 14:11The M.A.G. and President Trump slogan must be make America godly, make America godly.
190. 14:18There are steps that must be taken in that direction, but what I want you guys to understand
191. 14:22that the tip of the spirit, the leader of this trek is not government.
192. 14:26It's the people.
193. 14:29It's the people.
194. 14:31The leaders are servant leaders.
195. 14:36They are not the ones that are going to be the bellwethers.
196. 14:38So what type of nation we will be?
197. 14:40It starts with the people.
198. 14:41And then we have the wherewithal to demand the quality of leadership that will reflect
199. 14:48the core of our nation.
200. 14:51Target must be aimed appropriately.
201. 14:54Righteousness, exultination.
202. 15:01A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
203. 15:05What if God wrote a book?
204. 15:06Would you read it?
205. 15:08Well, the fact is God did write a book
206. 15:10and it's called the Bible and we have the privilege of reading it.
207. 15:13The author of the Word of God is God our Heavenly Father.
208. 15:17He used about 40 or so secretaries to write the Word of God.
209. 15:21But God is the one that inspired every word of the Word of God.
210. 15:24So it's a book by God about God.
211. 15:28The word of God is Jesus and Jesus is the word of God.
212. 15:32And so from Genesis to Revelation,
213. 15:34you're reading an autobiography, a book by God about God.
214. 15:38And God continues to introduce himself to us.
215. 15:41And more and more, we come to know who Jesus is
216. 15:44and his personality through the word of God.
217. 15:48We live in a world where people read lots and lots of things,
218. 15:50but the most important book in all of the world for you to read
219. 15:54is the book written by the creator of the universe,
220. 15:57the precious Word of God.
221. 16:02For your walk with Jesus,
222. 16:04I'm David Wolin with Haven Today,
223. 16:06inviting you to anchor your day in God's Word.
224. 16:10In North America, fall is an important time for farmers.
225. 16:13It's the time they harvest various crops,
226. 16:16including corn, and in the process,
227. 16:18they often plant winter crops like wheat.
228. 16:21In farming communities, it's not uncommon for churches
229. 16:24to even hold prayer services to ask the Lord for a fruitful harvest.
230. 16:30That's in keeping with what God's people have done throughout the ages.
231. 16:35Like in Psalm 85, when the people saying,
232. 16:38the Lord will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest.
233. 16:43So this fall, a time when we already have a holiday to give thanks,
234. 16:48let's be sure to pray and thank God for His bounty.
235. 16:51The Lord has given us what is good.

264. 18:07This is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
265. 18:12Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton.
266. 18:14The third here.
267. 18:17Yesterday I talked a little bit about the people
268. 18:19saying that they were leaving the country because of the election.
269. 18:24Now you have a whole slew of you have a couple. Well, at least one news outlet and
270. 18:31so called celebrities are saying they're leaving X. Because I know I no longer feel
271. 18:37safe to digitally engage in communications. I am no longer feel comfortable. I don't
272. 18:47want to help to prop up a platform for a man's platform who would dare put the
273. 18:59orange man barking power. Um, by Felicia ain't nobody's studying you. You know it's
274. 19:09just it's it's so it's crazy that that is the case. Leave! And you know what I
275. 19:13don't understand as well? Like I've never been in a place physically or in any
276. 19:17the other environment where if I want to leave, I have to get on here you come here you gather
277. 19:24round gather round come everyone want it all come I have decided that you just time for
278. 19:32me to depart man just leave if if you want to leave listen I learned this playing high
279. 19:40school basketball you know I was playing going to go get your hat your coat and get on out
280. 19:45the door, you know, go.
281. 19:48And it's, and, and,
282. 19:50bro, we have such a,
283. 19:52we have become such a soft society.
284. 19:56All of this pansified,
285. 19:58if you have thought dancing to make a statement,
286. 20:00you make it public,
287. 20:02articulate your view,
288. 20:03or how about this?
289. 20:04Don't respond to people.
290. 20:08You're not obligated to respond
291. 20:10to every comment on your post,
292. 20:11but now we have people that want a virtue signal
293. 20:14and just, just soft, just soft.
294. 20:19Now my wife and I was talking to our children the other day about, you know,
295. 20:21the difference between younger generations and all go to the doctor's and child, man,
296. 20:28I came home, daddy, I'm bleeding, man, put some dirt on it.
297. 20:32Put a rub some dirt on that boy.
298. 20:35All right.
299. 20:36Look, in the summer, and this is the real truth in New Orleans, uh,
300. 20:39my parents work out, I would be my grandmother in the, in the summer time.
301. 20:43My grandmother would say, when, when, when your parents need to go to work,
302. 20:46you got to get out of here.
303. 20:47I don't care where you go.
304. 20:48You got to get out of here.
305. 20:49And you don't come back inside today, come home from work.
306. 20:53And that's the truth.
307. 20:56But we have such a soft society.
308. 20:59It's absurd.
309. 21:00Like all of these people, Bette Midler, Jamie Lee Curtis,
310. 21:05Don Lemon, man, nobody care if you want X or not, get on.
311. 21:10And Don Lemon tried to say, oh, I'm upset
312. 21:12because the new terms of service indicated any litigation
313. 21:16has to take place in the Northern District of Texas.
314. 21:19He's trying to force us to litigate
315. 21:20if we have concerns in a conservative jurisdiction.
316. 21:23So you're not entitled to use the platform.
317. 21:28He bought it.
318. 21:32If you don't wanna be on it, get off the Guardian.
319. 21:37Now, and I want you all to know this,
320. 21:38the Guardian, the news outlet, the Guardian,
321. 21:40which is a UK outfit.
322. 21:43It's based in the UK,
323. 21:44but they also have an outlet in Australia.
324. 21:50This was the Guardian's statement.
325. 21:51We think that the benefits of being on X
326. 21:53are now outweighed by the negatives of that resources,
327. 21:57could be better used promoting our journalism elsewhere.
328. 22:02This is something we've been considering for a while
329. 22:04given the often disturbing content promoted or found
330. 22:07on the pla-
331. 22:08Get off, go!
332. 22:10But I want you to know about this
333. 22:11because I want you to know that this is a journalistic
334. 22:14publication.
335. 22:17So when you see the Guardians links,
336. 22:19Chabiran, just remember that, you know,
337. 22:24it's too rough and tumble for them on X, so they have to-
338. 22:27Shut the journalism elsewhere.
339. 22:30You know the Berlin Film Festival?
340. 22:33young get out of here and we can one time with y'all.
341. 22:37I wanted to get to this yesterday because it is vitally important.
342. 22:44The policy prescription offered by President Trump and his plan for dealing with the cartels
343. 22:50on the southern border.
344. 22:51And actually I'm going to tie this to this next story that I have out of Tennessee.
345. 22:54I'm going to get to the appointments, but this is something I want you guys to be aware
346. 22:58of.
347. 22:59This is how President Trump said he would deal with the cartels on the southern border.
348. 23:03It's clip number one.
349. 23:04Go.
350. 23:05Our country is being poisoned from within by the drugs
351. 23:08and by all of the other crime that's taking place.
352. 23:11The drug cartels are waging war in America,
353. 23:15and it's now time for America to wage war on the cartels.
354. 23:19In this war, Joe Biden has cited against the United States
355. 23:23and with the cartels.
356. 23:25They are making more money than they've ever made
357. 23:28before times 10.
358. 23:30There's never been anything like it.
359. 23:32They're major, major companies.
360. 23:33They're bigger than even some of our biggest companies.
361. 23:37Biden's open border policies are a deadly betrayal of our nation.
362. 23:42When I am President, it will be the policy of the United States
363. 23:46to take down the cartels just as we took down ISIS
364. 23:50and the ISIS caliphate.
365. 23:52And just as unlike the situation we're in today,
366. 23:55we had a very, very strong border, the strongest border,
367. 23:58in fact, in the history of our country.
368. 24:01And drugs were at a low of 45 years.
369. 24:05There's been nothing like what we did just two years ago.
370. 24:08We will show no mercy on the cartels.
371. 24:11Every day, drug traffickers are using the waters of our region
372. 24:16to ship their lethal poisons to America,
373. 24:19killing so many of our people and ruining families.
374. 24:23In addition to restoring strong border security,
375. 24:26I will deploy all necessary military assets,
376. 24:29including the U.S. Navy, to impose the full naval embargo
377. 24:33in the cartels.
378. 24:34I did that before, and it worked.
379. 24:37What we did was incredible.
380. 24:38We will guarantee that the waters of the Western Hemisphere
381. 24:42are not used to traffic illicit drugs to our country.
382. 24:45Furthermore, I will order the Department of Defense
383. 24:48to make appropriate use of Special Forces,
384. 24:51cyber warfare, and other overt and covert actions
385. 24:55to inflict maximum damage on cartel leadership,
386. 24:59infrastructure, and operations.
387. 25:02I will designate the major cartels as foreign terrorist
388. 25:06organizations.
389. 25:07We will sever their access to global financial systems.
390. 25:11I will also work to forge an unprecedented partnership
391. 25:15with neighboring governments in our region,
392. 25:18just like I did in Mexico.
393. 25:20And remember, in Mexico alone, an estimated 100,000
394. 25:25civilians have been tragically murdered or gone
395. 25:28missing at the hands of these cartels.
396. 25:31The Mexican government run by a very fine man.
397. 25:35The President is really working hard, but it's not
398. 25:39working out.
399. 25:41These cartels are vicious and they're violent, and
400. 25:44they have Mexico for now stymied.
401. 25:47Well, we have to help Mexico, and we have to
402. 25:50stymie the cartels.
403. 25:52Either we will get the full cooperation of other
404. 25:54governments to stop this menace, or we will expose every bribe, every kickback, every payoff,
405. 26:01and every bit of corruption that is allowing the cartels to preserve their brutal reign.
406. 26:06And it is indeed brutal.
407. 26:08Finally, as I have said before, I will ask Congress to pass legislation ensuring that drug
408. 26:15smugglers and human traffickers receive the death penalty.
409. 26:20The drug cartels and their allies in the Biden administration
410. 26:23have the blood of countless millions on their hands.
411. 26:26Millions and millions of families and people
412. 26:30are being destroyed.
413. 26:32When I'm back in the White House,
414. 26:34the drug kingpins and vicious traffickers
415. 26:37will never sleep soundly again.
416. 26:39We did it once and we did it better than anybody else.
417. 26:42There's never been a better border
418. 26:44than we had just two years ago.
419. 26:46It was strong.
420. 26:48It was powerful and it was respected all over the world.
421. 26:52And now we're laughed at all over the world.
422. 26:54And we're not gonna let that happen much longer.
423. 26:58We have to take over, we have to be tough,
424. 27:01we have to be smart, we have to be fair.
425. 27:04But if we don't do something immediately,
426. 27:07our country is gone.
427. 27:12Pretty.
428. 27:15Now I know many of these policy presentations
429. 27:17have been available for a while,
430. 27:20the Trump transition team is re issuing them because when people are asking, well, what
431. 27:25are you planning to do? The plans are quite detailed. This is, this is a different run.
432. 27:30And so just this week, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, there was a hearing in the
433. 27:37state of Tennessee where you remember we covered the story how the Venezuelan gang, Glinde
434. 27:43Aguaj, had taken over apartment complexes in, in Aurora, Colorado was not just Aurora, Colorado,
435. 27:49The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation informed its Governor, Governor Bill Lee, that this Venezuelan
436. 27:55gang is in all of Tennessee's major cities.
437. 28:00Listen to and watch the clip.
438. 28:02Clip number two, go.
439. 28:04So I want to start off this morning just talking about some concerning trends.
440. 28:07TBI Director David Roush meeting with the Governor, sharing new information about Trend Day Aragua.
441. 28:12A Venezuelan gang that is being seen more and more prevalent.
442. 28:18The FBI says it's a gang started in a Venezuelan prison two years ago.
443. 28:22Their members with distinct tattoos were spotted in Tennessee, known primarily for abducting
444. 28:27and bringing Venezuelan women to the United States and Tennessee.
445. 28:31In that operation, we recognize the number of the members here, trafficking females that
446. 28:38they have abducted.
447. 28:40For more than a year, there hasn't been a concern arresting some investigators not spotting any
448. 28:45more of their criminal activity until recently.
449. 28:48back in all of our major cities.
450. 28:50They are running human trafficking operations.
451. 28:53That's where they start.
452. 28:55TBI didn't offer specifics on instances on recent criminal behavior or exactly where this
453. 29:01gang has been spotted, saying they've been connected to human trafficking, organized retail
454. 29:05theft and drug crimes across the state.
455. 29:11All of this happened, guys, on the Biden-Harris Watch.
456. 29:17This is why the American people were saying close to border, and this is why the American
457. 29:21people elected President Trump and those who shared his vision.
458. 29:26Now, I understand that this is going to be a seismic effort.
459. 29:36And if you think the swamp rats are going to just roll over, you got another thing coming.
460. 29:44You got another thing coming.
461. 29:46But I wanted to put those two pieces of information side by side to let you see this is not just
462. 29:52hypothetical.
463. 29:53This is real.
464. 29:56is real where we are. Now, I don't want to run out of time. So I'm going to start this now on these
465. 30:04appointments when you hear that it's exhaustive agenda. And I just shared just literally the last
466. 30:09two days, three of the policy areas of at least 15 of those same types of videos that have been
467. 30:16that President Trump has put out. And you and you have this happening all around the country.
468. 30:26I mentioned yesterday some of the nominations that I'm excited about that I'm happy with
469. 30:34Susan Wiles as Chief of Staff.
470. 30:40She has proven to be an extremely wise woman and her position and a lot of people made a
471. 30:48big deal about it.
472. 30:49The first woman Chief of Staff ever nominated.
473. 30:51She wasn't nominated because he was nominated because he did a great job and does a great
474. 30:56job.
475. 30:57You know, that's why she was nominated.
476. 31:01Tom Holman.
477. 31:02Oh boy, I'm telling you, he might be my favorite.
478. 31:07He might be my favorite of all of these nominations, simply because it is very focused
479. 31:14in purpose, very focused and job objective, very, very focused.
480. 31:21Let's just go through some of these.
481. 31:24President Trump has, well, let me start this one.
482. 31:26This is probably the most high-profile and controversial to date.
483. 31:29President Trump has announced his nomination of Matt Gates to become the next Attorney General.
484. 31:36And there's been a lot of news, media surrounding this.
485. 31:40There's some things about Matt Gates that I like.
486. 31:42He's clear that he's willing to take a sledgehammer to the deep state.
487. 31:50But at the exact same time, you know, you have some other things, some temperament things, some other things that are concerning.
488. 31:55And then of course you have the Criminal Investigation at the Department of Justice launched.
489. 31:59And this is the reality. I don't have any inside information. All I know is what is publicly available
490. 32:04you had the investigation into
491. 32:07You know illicit sexual activity of the criminal sort with no charges
492. 32:14All right now
493. 32:15We're in such a such a topsy-turvy world at allegations
494. 32:23It could look just like Brett Kavanaugh the allegations made against him his whole life
495. 32:30life, man serving in the federal judiciary. Nothing came came up when he was the an appellate
496. 32:38court judge in a DC circuit. But when he's nominated to Supreme Court, then all of these
497. 32:42things come from come out of nowhere. Now the allegations prove to be nothing. So the same
498. 32:51thing could happen in the Matt Gates scenario. I'm just not certain. You know, there's been
499. 32:57some expression of resistance already from Republicans in the Senate. John Cornyn has
500. 33:03come out already. You know, John Corning, the same John Corning that was up to be Senate
501. 33:10majority leader, the same John Corning that opposed questioning whether or not the 2020
502. 33:17election had some funny business, the same John Corning who is an act of like of Mitch
503. 33:22McConnell the turtle. The same John Corning who's pro gun control who bought all into the Russian
504. 33:31collusion hoax. I'm not a fan of John Corn. But the reality is, you know, I'm just like,
505. 33:40okay, if you have evidence and have things to communicate that should oppose that should
506. 33:45prevent Matt Gaetz from being confirmed to the AG position, bring it out. Let's bring it out.
507. 33:51Bring it out for good battle. You know, if it's, if it's, if it's horrible and he shouldn't
508. 33:59be confirmed, don't confirm it. But if y'all are lying about it, bring that out too. Something
509. 34:05certainly cooking because as soon as President Trump announced that he was
510. 34:08nominating Matt Gates, he resigned his position in Congress. People don't do that
511. 34:12unless they expect to be confirmed. Now you have some other things he wants to make
512. 34:16sure that Governor Ron DeSantis has the opportunity to nominate his replacement
513. 34:19there. I probably would have picked somebody other than Matt Gates, you know. But I
514. 34:26think President Trump has earned the right for us to say, okay let's see. Let's see.
515. 34:34And so as I said, that's the position I'm gonna take on these nominees. Most of
516. 34:39them alike. Some of them I don't. But I'm still going to maintain the position. Well,
517. 34:44let's see what's happening because one thing that I know for certain that swamp is so swampy
518. 34:49and is so deep that we have to have people in there that some that's going to need wrecking
519. 34:54balls instead of meat cleavers.
520. 35:01Streaming.afa.net has now become a a stream and you can find it at stream.afa.net. You
521. 35:08See, we remove the letters ING.
522. 35:11Our experts have determined that eliminating those three keystrokes multiplied over hundreds
523. 35:16of thousands of AFA stream visits could reduce the national debt and maybe increase the gross
524. 35:21domestic product.
525. 35:23AFA stream, formerly streaming.afa.net.
526. 35:27Improvements to the economy are purely theoretical.
527. 35:29The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Bitted Common Terrors are available at aFR.net.
528. 35:40back to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
529. 35:45Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here.
530. 35:47And I have to tell you with the announcement of Matt Gates to head up the Department of
531. 35:53Justice, boy, you should see the squirming in a squawking in DC.
532. 35:58Oh boy, all of the legal channels, these these career justice department employees, they
533. 36:05are they are scared and it could be President Trump announced Matt Gates for that purpose alone
534. 36:13to send a signal to the DOJ we ain't playing with y'all. We're coming in with the sledgehammer and I
535. 36:18said not a meat cleaver I meant scalpel because we need the sledgehammer you think about what this
536. 36:23country has gone through the last four years on top of all that they they did personally
537. 36:31to President Trump and it wasn't about him personally because it was about what he represented
538. 36:37The ad insult to injury, they actually literally tried to kill the man.
539. 36:44And we still don't know heads or tails of of that.
540. 36:50So his pick of Matt Gates could be for no other reason than the signal.
541. 36:54Everybody needs to understand that we're not playing.
542. 36:57So, but the Matt Gates nomination is one of one of the ones I'm like,
543. 37:04I said yesterday about Pete Haggseth.
544. 37:06Yeah, he's not a traditional four star pentagon general, but the man is two
545. 37:11bar brown stars and everybody who celebrate it. We talked about this yesterday. Sam Britain
546. 37:17and Richard Levine. Excuse me. Excuse me, Richard. Y'all had to sit this one out. Then I already
547. 37:29announced today it was formally announced, President Trump announced that RFK Jr. will
548. 37:33be his nomination to be the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. I think
549. 37:42RFK Jr. will do a good job in that role, but I'm concerned about the potential of his ideas
550. 37:49in other areas influencing President Trump.
551. 37:56As long as he stays focused on getting the poisons out of our food and that kind of stuff,
552. 38:02I'm cool with that.
553. 38:03And then the other thing I want to make sure of that he does so without adding massive regulatory
554. 38:08regime.
555. 38:09Because that's not what we need.
556. 38:11what we need is for the American people to understand that when you're drinking that mountain
557. 38:15do whatever it is that it has, you know, die numbers so and so that these yellow things,
558. 38:20you know, these Cheetos, they have that tartar zine in it. That's what we need. We don't, we
559. 38:27don't need an, an a right wing regulatory regime. All right. And his other insane ideas,
560. 38:40even his position on the innocent unborn children. No, I don't trust him in that area. I don't trust
561. 38:49him in that area. So again, I want to wait and see. I do think he'll do a good job with
562. 38:59addressing the poisons. And I think he's wise enough to recognize, okay, he's not president.
563. 39:06President Trump wants him to be a part of his agenda, not for RFK to go off on his own
564. 39:11tangent. No, we don't need high fructose corn syrup and everything. You know, Christy
565. 39:23Christy Gnome, I'm not a fan of that pic.
566. 39:25Christy Gnome is nominated to be the Secretary of Department of Homeland Security.
567. 39:30I'm not a fan of that one.
568. 39:32Tulsi Gabbert, similar to RFK, I think if she focuses on intelligence, Department of National
569. 39:40Intelligence, I mean remember she was blacklisted, couldn't even fly.
570. 39:45If she focuses there, I'm okay with it, but she has some other ideas I don't agree with.
571. 39:52I think she can do a really good job in that area.
572. 39:54And like I said, that I'm willing to wait and see.
573. 40:00No, toasted gabber.
574. 40:00At least Stefanik, I'm not a fan.
575. 40:03I'm getting all the ones I don't like out first.
576. 40:04Cause I think, what'd you say?
577. 40:08You do like her?
578. 40:09At least Stefanik?
579. 40:10The hammer of the US.
580. 40:11No, I don't like her.
581. 40:12At least Stefanik voted for the Equality Act
582. 40:14as a Congresswoman.
583. 40:17That's a big deal.
584. 40:19That's a big deal.
585. 40:19Should I expect her to do anything other than that
586. 40:21at the UN? No.
587. 40:23She is going to be the US ambassador
588. 40:26to the United Nations.
589. 40:31Well, since I'm on it, I tell you all the ones I don't like.
590. 40:33And Vivek Ramaswami, you know, I think he has some good ideas,
591. 40:37but I don't trust him.
592. 40:39I feel like Vivek Ramaswami is making a very naked push
593. 40:44for political positioning prospectively.
594. 40:48Now, I do think he can do a good job
595. 40:51in the Department of Government Efficiency.
596. 40:54And I was laughing, I saw like,
597. 40:56Laiowatha, y'all know what that is, huh?
598. 40:58Laiowatha.
599. 41:00That said it, Elizabeth Warren.
600. 41:02Liah Waffa thought she was being slick.
601. 41:06Oh, that's what you need to do.
602. 41:07Regulate government by creating a new government
603. 41:09and department to which Elon Musk fired back.
604. 41:12Yeah, we'll do good, because unlike you,
605. 41:14we're not getting paid.
606. 41:17The Department of Government Efficiency
607. 41:19is going to be an extra governmental organization.
608. 41:23And it's important to note that
609. 41:25because if Elon Musk became an employee
610. 41:27of the federal government,
611. 41:28he would either have to rescind all of his contracts
612. 41:31with the government with SpaceX,
613. 41:33or he would have to disavow himself from his own company,
614. 41:41which he's not gonna do.
615. 41:43So he is going to function.
616. 41:44Him and Vivek Ramaswami are gonna operate
617. 41:46as private citizen civilians who are watching governmental
618. 41:51spending and advising the Trump administration
619. 41:55concerning the regulatory regime.
620. 41:56And this is also why the people talking to leave
621. 41:58an ex are ridiculous,
622. 41:59because Elon Musk has already come out
623. 42:00and saying that they're gonna post on X
624. 42:02all the various iterations of wasteful spending
625. 42:05and invite the American people to weigh in on it
626. 42:07as they're evaluating them, evaluating them expenditure
627. 42:10by expenditure by expenditure.
628. 42:14Yes, please, and some more as it should be,
629. 42:19as it should be.
630. 42:22So I am pumped about that, just, you know, the way.
631. 42:30And since we're on that point,
632. 42:31I think Elon Musk would do a good job in that role
633. 42:34as long as Elon Musk's role is confined to what that is.
634. 42:39And I said yesterday, another little thing
635. 42:40That's just interesting to note that I said this,
636. 42:44the little birdie told me that Elon Musk
637. 42:47is keeping this pack around that anybody
638. 42:49who opposes the American First,
639. 42:50American First Agenda as congress members
640. 42:54that he will fund primary opponents against them.
641. 42:59So you're gonna see some people getting in line
642. 43:04and standing line.
643. 43:05That's right, something you said,
644. 43:06I'm gonna get on X just so I can see all of the government
645. 43:10expenditures that they're gonna be eliminating.
646. 43:12One of the first things that they announced is eliminating half of the
647. 43:16federal bureaucracy on day one, firing half.
648. 43:21I mean, interesting how that is rolled out.
649. 43:25But a that's the way it looks now, having said that, and at least the
650. 43:28fonic for those who don't know, was a congresswoman from New York, um,
651. 43:33who was nominated for that UN position.
652. 43:36But there's something that I love, you know, Mike Huckabee is UN ambassador to Israel.
653. 43:41Yes, sir.
654. 43:42He shoots, he scores.
655. 43:44All right, Steve Whitcalf.
656. 43:47I don't have any opposition to him.
657. 43:49He's serving as special envoy to the Middle East.
658. 43:51He's gonna work with Mike Huckabee
659. 43:54on a lot of things there.
660. 43:55Mike Waltz as national security advisor.
661. 43:57I don't necessarily have any strong opposition to him.
662. 43:59John Ratcliffe as CIA director,
663. 44:02I'm not so sure about him.
664. 44:03I'm not so sure about John Ratcliffe.
665. 44:06As I said, I'm gonna wait and see,
666. 44:08but I probably would have picked somebody else
667. 44:10for that position.
668. 44:11Lee Zeldin, former gubernatorial candidate for the state of New York, he has been tapped
669. 44:18by President Trump to become his Environmental Protection Agency administrator, head of the
670. 44:25EPA.
671. 44:26I like it.
672. 44:27I like it.
673. 44:28It fits Lee Zeldin's expertise.
674. 44:31It's a good, good pick.
675. 44:33Bill McGinley, White House counsel.
676. 44:36I might have gone different there, but I don't oppose Bill McGinley's position there.
677. 44:43and Scavino, Deputy Chief of Staff, I like it.
678. 44:47I like it, I like it.
679. 44:51This is another one of my faves.
680. 44:52This is right up there next to Tom Holman for me.
681. 44:57Stephen Miller, Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy
682. 45:01and Homeland Security Advisor.
683. 45:04I like Stephen Miller.
684. 45:06I really like Stephen Miller.
685. 45:10Yes, sir.
686. 45:11I think that is an excellent pick.
687. 45:14And while we were on the air, the Trump transition team announced that Congressman Doug Collins
688. 45:20from Georgia is going to be President Trump's Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
689. 45:25I like Doug Collins in that position as well, but he is my concern.
690. 45:28So Matt Gates, Doug Collins, Elise Stefanik, they're all members of the House of Representatives.
691. 45:33John Radcliffe, members of the House of Representatives.
692. 45:35President Trump, I think is going a little bit too much into Congress to get these nominees,
693. 45:41because these people are going to all have to be replaced.
694. 45:44So they'll have governors nominate their placements temporarily and special elections
695. 45:50coming up to fill those positions.
696. 45:54Then you have this is one I don't like too much Marco Rubio as secretary of state.
697. 46:00I'm not the biggest Rubio fan.
698. 46:06I'm gonna just tell you and I don't think he'll do a bad job.
699. 46:08I think he can do a good job in his role, but you know, and that that is a role that
700. 46:16Marco Rubio would take because he asked you to aspirations.
701. 46:21That's right, cannibalizing Congress.
702. 46:22Question, good question.
703. 46:24Will those seats flip?
704. 46:26The seats won't automatically flip.
705. 46:27And so far, all the denominations have come from places that are widely regarded as safe
706. 46:32Republican districts.
707. 46:35And with the exception of at least the phonics seat in New York, the governors will appoint
708. 46:39Republicans to fill those seats.
709. 46:41Most likely, at least the phonics will be replaced with a Democrat by Kathy Hochl, but
710. 46:47only be a short term because then they'll have to have a special election soon after the appointment.
711. 46:56Yeah, Marco Rubio, man. I mean, I think he's, I think his position on Hamas is right.
712. 47:01They have to be destroyed completely period end of sentence. But Marco Rubio, man, I don't,
713. 47:10I would have picked somebody differently for that position. James Blair, Deputy Chief of Staff
714. 47:15for legislative, political and public affairs.
715. 47:19I'm good with that.
716. 47:20I'm good with that.
717. 47:21Taylor Butterwich, Deputy Chief of Staff
718. 47:23for Communications and Personnel.
719. 47:24I'm good with that as well.
720. 47:26Now, one thing you need to know,
721. 47:27not all of these are cabinet positions,
722. 47:29like Tulsi Gabbard's nomination to be
723. 47:32head of the Department of National Intelligence.
724. 47:36Not all of these are cabinet positions,
725. 47:38so not all of them would have to be subjected to confirmation.
726. 47:42So I know President Trump is selecting people
727. 47:45that he expects to be confirmed.
728. 47:49The only exception to that to date really is Matt Gates.
729. 47:52You're already seeing opposition from both some Democrats
730. 47:55and Republicans to Matt Gates, but that remains to be seen.
731. 48:01But that being said, and their new announcements
732. 48:04are being made because it's a big job
733. 48:07filling out an administration.
734. 48:10But one major place you wanna talk about
735. 48:12the Department of Government Efficiency,
736. 48:15that they'll be able to start straight away
737. 48:17is in the Department of Education.
738. 48:18We talked about yesterday.
739. 48:20That's 4,300 employees right there.
740. 48:24Like we talked about yesterday and it's amazing.
741. 48:26Man, I got a lot of feedback from PBS to the same.
742. 48:28Hey, I didn't know that's not an apartment education
743. 48:29started.
744. 48:31It was a political bargain between Jimmy Carter
745. 48:33and the National Education Association.
746. 48:37I agree, I like with what Marco Rubio says about Israel,
747. 48:42but other things he has said
748. 48:45in the run up to here, give me Paul.
749. 48:48So that is what I have to date on the, the nominations.
750. 48:55And just to give you an idea just how challenging this
751. 48:57is going to be.
752. 48:58I told you guys about the secret vote for the Republican
753. 49:01leader of the Senate, majority leader of the Senate
754. 49:03that took place.
755. 49:05It came down to John Corning, Rick Scott and John Thune,
756. 49:11all US senators, they voted for John Thune.
757. 49:19Again, I just, I want to remind you who John Thune is.
758. 49:22Also, a Mitch McConnell henchman during President Trump's administration, he wanted Mike Pence
759. 49:30to take over for President Trump.
760. 49:33He's a buddy buddy with Liz Cheney.
761. 49:36He mourned January 6th, you know?
762. 49:44That's who John Thune is.
763. 49:46What I suspect happened behind the scenes, like listen, you get some position, you're
764. 49:50going to agree to recess appointments, which is something Mitch McConnell did not agree
765. 49:57to Mitch McConnell opposed President Trump's ability to staff his administration.
766. 50:05The expectation would be that John Thune and John Cornyn both McConnell acolytes would probably do
767. 50:11the same except for JD Vance's in the Senate. So I think the combination of JD Vance being in
768. 50:16the Senate, the electoral mandate, I think the message has been conveyed loudly and clearly
769. 50:23that you either get on the train or get ran over by the train. You pick which one you want to do
770. 50:28because the train is coming.
771. 50:29The train is on the tracks.
772. 50:31So we'll see as we get more nominations,
773. 50:34we'll talk about them.
774. 50:35I haven't seen any more yet.
775. 50:37Not because it haven't happened,
776. 50:38I just haven't seen them yet.
777. 50:40But if they're more, definitely check them out.
778. 50:43Stay with us throughout this process
779. 50:45because buckle up
780. 50:46because it is about to be a very interesting ride.
781. 50:49President Trump has sent a clear message
782. 50:51that things are not the same.
783. 50:52There is a new sheriff in town,
784. 50:55and this sheriff's boots are made for walking.
785. 50:58You all have a greeting in everybody.
