1. 0:00This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
2. 0:07It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
3. 0:11Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
4. 0:14God has called you and me to be his ambassador.
5. 0:19Even in this dark moment.
6. 0:22Let's not miss our moment.
7. 0:24And now, the Hamilton Corner.
8. 0:27And now the Hamilton corner.
9. 0:30Good evening, everybody.
10. 0:33Welcome to the Hamilton corner, Abraham Hamilton, the third here host of the program joined by
11. 0:39the corner contingent right across from me, my man, 100 grand, Mr. Bobby, a Rosa, who is
12. 0:48a veteran of our United States Air Force.
13. 0:55We're talking before coming on the air about this tragic crash at Reagan DC airport over
14. 1:05the Potomac River in Washington DC, which I literally just flew from that same airport
15. 1:11Tuesday.
16. 1:13My heart breaks for the family of the deceased.
17. 1:23And I'm going to get into this later in the show, but I am uncomfortable with this old scenario.
18. 1:31I mean, DCA is one of the busiest airports in the country.
19. 1:37You know, when the traffic in and out of that airport
20. 1:39where you have this American Airlines flight,
21. 1:42that is landing.
22. 1:43So the American Airlines flight,
23. 1:45and there was some people saying that the American Airlines
24. 1:48plane crashed into the helicopter, but that's not possible
25. 1:52because the American Airlines plane is landing.
26. 1:56But the plane certainly would have been
27. 1:59within view of the helicopter.
28. 2:02I mean, I'm no pilot.
29. 2:04I'm not fancy.
30. 2:05I just, I'm very, I'm very, I'm grieved for the deceased
31. 2:12and I'm concerned about what all transpired.
32. 2:16The latest reports is that there are no survivors
33. 2:20from this crash, that what we began as a rescue mission
34. 2:24over the frigid Potomac River has now become
35. 2:27a reclamation project for the bodies of the deceased.
36. 2:35Last report I saw they recovered about 27 of the bodies of the deceased, and it's just a tragedy that is disconcerting.
37. 2:51In addition to Mr. Rosa we have produced extraordinaire, the real J. Mac often imitated, never duplicated.
38. 2:58I'm mystified as to how this could happen in the year of our Lord 2024.
39. 3:14I won't get into speculation, but I am concerned as to what all transpired.
40. 3:21I know lots of investigations is under way.
41. 3:22I'm going to play some audio and video from Secretary of Defense Pete Hexeth.
42. 3:30But first on my heart, I would just invite you to join me in praying for the families of the deceased.
43. 3:35to be honest, pray for our nation, pray for our leaders.
44. 3:47It's very, very, very, very disconcerting.
45. 3:53And I don't want to get ahead of investigators that are
46. 3:57recovering information.
47. 3:58Of course, you have black box data on the plane.
48. 4:00And I am not on the helicopter.
49. 4:05No, no, that's why I said the plane, not the helicopter.
50. 4:10Yeah, yeah, helicopter is not going to have black box.
51. 4:16in addition to what is what I've said already, that the American Airlines
52. 4:20plane included people from the United States and Russia's US figure skating teams,
53. 4:24including Russians who were coaches and they were there in the DC area for
54. 4:34actually returning from a training session following a competition I believe
55. 4:39that was in Kansas. It is grieving when you have life lost in that fashion.
56. 4:52Let's turn to the word of God.
57. 4:54I want to revisit the text in Daniel chapter 2, because there's wisdom there for us.
58. 5:04And I know what the bright lights component of the text having the Lord reveal.
59. 5:12Nebuchadnezzar's dream to Daniel.
60. 5:13And I guess let me set it up again.
61. 5:16The chapter 2 begins with Nebuchadnezzar having a troubling dream.
62. 5:21He's disturbed in his sleep.
63. 5:24He summons his wise men and counselors, but he suspects that he has charlatans among his
64. 5:32ranks because he's a non non non I fall for the old Okeydoke.
65. 5:39You busters got to tell me my dream and then tell me the interpretation.
66. 5:44The Babylonian wise man is like, oh, Neb, come on man, come on man, you know, nobody can't
67. 5:49tell you what you dream.
68. 5:50Just tell us what the dream is and they will interpret it before you never can that your
69. 5:53response now you suckers lie.
70. 5:55And this is in the Bible.
71. 5:57Now of course, the way I'm describing it is the Abe standard version.
72. 6:00He says, you suck us a lot.
73. 6:02I'm not telling you what the dream is.
74. 6:04No, you tell me what my dream is, then you tell me the interpretation.
75. 6:08They say, nah, we can't do it.
76. 6:10Never gonna, that's a response, fine.
77. 6:13And I don't need wise men.
78. 6:14All the wise men, they died today.
79. 6:17This is what's in the Bible in Daniel chapter two.
80. 6:19But then Ariak, A-R-I-O-C comes to Daniel and his friends abode, coming to kingdom.
81. 6:28Kill them.
82. 6:30Daniel's like, whoa, what's happening, Harry?
83. 6:33What's going on here?
84. 6:35Why is the King's order so urgent?
85. 6:37Ariak explains to him what's happening.
86. 6:40Daniel, filled with confidence in Yahweh,
87. 6:43says you set an appointment time for me
88. 6:46to gain an audience with Nebuchadnezzar,
89. 6:48because the guy that I serve will reveal his dream to me
90. 6:51as well as interpretation.
91. 6:52This is what the scripture says.
92. 6:57After departing from Ariak's presence,
93. 7:00Daniel immediately finds Azeriah, Hananiah, and I, Amisiah,
94. 7:03he says, man, this was going on, will you join me in prayer?
95. 7:07They pray together.
96. 7:13And then Daniel's immediate response
97. 7:15before even gaining an audience with Nebuchadnezzar
98. 7:18is to offer praise and worship to God.
99. 7:20And that is a portion of the text
100. 7:22you're gonna visit today.
101. 7:23Daniel chapter two, verses 27 through 30,
102. 7:31I'm gonna pick up right at Daniel chapter 27.
103. 7:34So once Daniel tells Ariac, give me some time and instead of appointment time for me to have
104. 7:41an audience for Nebuchadnezzar, because I am going to share with him what God shows me,
105. 7:47show me what his dream is and the interpretation.
106. 7:55This is what Daniel goes on to say.
107. 7:58Daniel answered before the king and said, as for the mystery about which the king has
108. 8:02inquired, now this where I'm reading now is a part of what Daniel says to Nebuchadnezzar.
109. 8:09All right, after he worshiped the Lord and all,
110. 8:11this is a part of what he says to never can ever.
111. 8:14And I'll just tell you, I'm not gonna get into the dream
112. 8:16and it's interpretation right now,
113. 8:17but it's profound for world history
114. 8:19because Daniel is still right.
115. 8:22Here we are centuries later, Daniel is still right.
116. 8:25But look at verse 27, Daniel answered before the king
117. 8:27and said, as for the mystery about which the king
118. 8:31has inquired, neither wise men, conjurers, magicians,
119. 8:36nor diviners are able to declare it to the king.
120. 8:39that's those who practice divination, that's for Daniel.
121. 8:41Daniel's saying everybody can get it
122. 8:42because y'all are all charlatans.
123. 8:45None of these people are able to declare,
124. 8:47declare it to the king.
125. 8:48However, verse 28, there is a God in heaven
126. 8:53who reveals mysteries and he has made known
127. 8:56to King Nebuchadnezzar what will take place
128. 8:58in the latter days.
129. 9:00This was your dream and the visions in your mind
130. 9:03while on your bed.
131. 9:06As for you, O King, while on your bed,
132. 9:07thoughts turn to what would take place in the future. And he who reveals mysteries has made known to you
133. 9:14what will take place." And look at verse 30. But as for me, but as for me, this mystery has not been
134. 9:23revealed to me for any wisdom residing in me, more than in any other living man, but for the purpose
135. 9:33of making the interpretation known to the king, and that you may understand the thoughts of your mind.
136. 9:39What I want you to see is Daniel's character in the course of rejoicing, being this profound
137. 9:49prophet of God, revealing this mystery. If you're familiar with this passage, what actually happened
138. 9:55that Nebuchadnezzar has this dream about this statute figure with, you know, gold head, iron,
139. 10:02clay, and really is showing the transition of global superpowers that culminates with the kingdom of God,
140. 10:10the transition from the Babylonians to the Medes and Persians to the Greeks,
141. 10:18then to the Romans, and then with a stone that becomes larger than all of them.
142. 10:24Like this is literally world history being unfolded, but in the course of this
143. 10:31profound revelation taking place, Daniel says, never can I just need you to know,
144. 10:38Oh man, I know what you dreamed and interpretation,
145. 10:42not because I have any wisdom residing in myself,
146. 10:46more than any other living man.
147. 10:48I'm not special.
148. 10:49This is what Daniel was saying.
149. 10:51Never gonna say, I'm not special.
150. 10:54I'm just a vessel that God has determined in this moment
151. 10:58to communicate to you because you're the king
152. 11:02and so that you can be aware of what it is God
153. 11:05is trying to show you.
154. 11:07What I'm saying here, folks,
155. 11:09is that once again, the Lord is giving us a scriptural foundation upon which to plant
156. 11:17ourselves in knowing God is far more concerned about our character than even our function.
157. 11:26It's not as if he's not concerned about our function, but our character is of utmost importance.
158. 11:37This is uncommon humility on display.
159. 11:43It's not because I'm so special in that the Lord has shown this to me.
160. 11:47I'm simply the vessel that God has ordained for this moment so that you can have clarity
161. 11:51as to what it is he's trying to show you.
162. 11:54I know what God is trying to show you.
163. 11:56He's showing me already, but he's appointed me for this moment so that you can be aware.
164. 12:04He's also set the course for you to understand that the revelation of mysteries, they're going
165. 12:09to come from your divination peddlers, from your conjurers, from your charlatans who you
166. 12:16already know lie.
167. 12:18That's why you're interested from the get-go.
168. 12:20God wants you to know in addition to what's been troubling your sleep through this dream,
169. 12:25he wants you to know that there's a God in heaven.
170. 12:30I am gobsmacked by this display of humility.
171. 12:34This is literally the Old Testament version of this ain't about me, man.
172. 12:41This is not about me at all.
173. 12:44And it is incumbent upon you and I to learn from Daniel, this example, and to recognize
174. 12:49that what we get to do, we get to do.
175. 12:52That us being called by God to be a service,
176. 12:54that the Lord saves us and calls us into a service,
177. 12:57is not because it is to inggrandize ourselves.
178. 13:01We have to be continually mindful.
179. 13:03I've been hearing a phrase in many different places.
180. 13:05You know, we all have egos, should we?
181. 13:11More specifically, should there be egos
182. 13:13in the body of Christ?
183. 13:17He possible said, it is by the grace of God that I am.
184. 13:20What I am.
185. 13:24I am appealing to you in this fashion,
186. 13:28because God is ordained,
187. 13:29He's willing to be peculiar.
188. 13:31And that peculiarity is not just what we look like
189. 13:34to people on the outside,
190. 13:35but it's also a peculiar disposition internally,
191. 13:41whether we live in the era,
192. 13:42where the athletes are superman in the chest,
193. 13:45and it's, hey me, I'm a bad man, I'm a bad man,
194. 13:49I'm this, I'm that.
195. 13:52If a person who professes to be a representative of Christ,
196. 13:57But it's very hard for you to discern any humility.
197. 13:59I'm just wanting you to be very careful.
198. 14:02Because God is the one who said
199. 14:04that he opposes the proud.
200. 14:07But he gives grace, more grace, my Zon Karras to the humble.
201. 14:15The Lord has ordained us for the time that we're in God.
202. 14:20But as Daniel said, it's not because we're so special.
203. 14:23And it's not that we should have a self-loathing disposition
204. 14:26either, and we should have an appropriate assessment
205. 14:29as to who we are recognized.
206. 14:31I stand there before I high and holy God living before the audience of one.
207. 14:36We should be able to echo Daniel's sentiments and I know that this is not about me.
208. 14:43I simply have the honor and privilege of being the vessel that the Lord desires to reveal himself
209. 14:48through in this moment in this particular way.
210. 14:50And I pray that this is my continued disposition internally as well as yours and it's evident
211. 14:56in our display of character.
212. 14:59A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
213. 15:02The work of being a parent is an awesome responsibility.
214. 15:05It's a great responsibility.
215. 15:07It's a privilege, it's a joy.
216. 15:09Our job is to do all we can to help our children come to know Christ,
217. 15:13and then to passionately be involved in the work of disciples,
218. 15:16and to be helping them to grow up in their faith,
219. 15:18to become a sure, strong, vibrant young men and women
220. 15:22who love Jesus and live for Jesus every single day.
221. 15:26Lord, with every passing day and more and more,
222. 15:28help us all to grow an understanding of how critical it is that we do our job, that we carry out what
223. 15:33you've called us to do, but help us to know, Lord, that your Word is a wonderful tool, a wonderful
224. 15:38guidebook in helping us to be faithful disciples and faithful disciples and makers as well. Use us
225. 15:45in a wonderful way to help them to come to know Christ and then use us and work through us to help
226. 15:51our children to come to fall in love with you and with your Word. In Jesus' name we do pray.

252. 18:14said I was going to share this. This morning, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, got to get
253. 18:24used to saying that. Communicate it directly with the American people concerning the tragic
254. 18:36crash in Washington DC and in fact before I get to Pete Hagg Seth I'll show you
255. 18:41because of the plethora of cameras in the Washington DC area. You know I know that
256. 18:46the Atlanta airport is the most is the busiest airport in the in the world frankly but Reagan
257. 18:52is pretty close to being just as busy in terms of flights in and out the moment where
258. 19:01the was being described as a helicopter reported as a helicopter a crashes into the American Airlines flight was actually captured on
259. 19:11Video there won't be any audio on this so those who are listening via live radio or the podcast audio podcast only
260. 19:20You won't hear what's happening, but those who are watching the program and I encourage you to watch the program
261. 19:25You can watch it just get it you can open a free account at a F.A. streaming service stream that a F A dot net
262. 19:31You can also follow the Hamilton Corner on YouTube, social media, Insta-Face, all of this stuff
263. 19:39so that you can watch. You're not having an Insta-Face? Yeah, Insta-Face Graham, my face.
264. 19:47Feed, post, hexadecimal. Here it is. This is the...man, this is...it's hard to watch.
265. 19:59This is the moment of the tragic collision. Clip number one, clip one, go. I'll describe it as the
266. 20:10video is showing there you see in the distance. Yeah, you saw the explosion. Yeah. Yeah, you can
267. 20:19see here's a closer view of it. You can see the smaller light heading toward the larger light.
268. 20:24And then you see this moment of collision as I refer to Secretary of Defense PDHEC Seth
269. 20:42talked about where things were from the military standpoint because the helicopter is reported as
270. 20:48military Black Hawk helicopter. Listen to and watch Defense Secretary
271. 20:54Hagg Seth describing and discussing this matter. Clip number two, clip two.
272. 20:58All right, update this morning. Just got off the phone with the self-comm
273. 21:03commander and the chairman, the Joint Chiefs talking about our efforts at
274. 21:06Guantanamo Bay. That is ongoing. We're leaning forward on supporting the
275. 21:10president's directive to make sure that we have a location for violent criminal
276. 21:15illegal as they are deported out of the country. No one's going to wait on the
277. 21:20Defense Department and we're working that in real time. But I also wanted to give an
278. 21:24update on the tragedy that happened last night here in Washington DC and provide a
279. 21:28little bit more information as we are actively working to investigate and
280. 21:34understand what occurred and why. At about 848 last night a UH-6D assigned to the
281. 21:41US Army Aviation Brigade in the military district of Washington, Fort Belvoir, Virginia, collided
282. 21:47tragically with a civilian airliner. The unit involved, the Army unit involved with Bravo
283. 21:54Company 12th Aviation Battalion at Fort Belvoir. It was an annual proficiency training flight.
284. 22:01And when we look at the crew and we're not all, not all can have been notified, so we're
285. 22:05We're going to withhold ranks and names at this point.
286. 22:08We do know on our side who was involved, it was a fairly experienced crew and it was doing
287. 22:16a required annual night evaluation.
288. 22:18They did have night vision goggles.
289. 22:23The 12th aviation battalion as of now is granted a 48-hour operational pause on continuous
290. 22:29team missions as what happened is reviewed and a senior level aviation team, an investigative
291. 22:35team from our aviation safety center was deployed last night and already is in Washington, DC
292. 22:40to investigate what's going on. We anticipate that the investigation will quickly be able
293. 22:45to determine whether the aircraft was in the corridor and at the right altitude at the time
294. 22:50of the incident. As I mentioned, next of kin notifications are ongoing. It's a tragedy,
295. 22:56a horrible loss of life for those 64 souls on that civilian airliner and of course the
296. 23:03three soldiers in that black hawk. They're in our prayers, their families and their communities,
297. 23:10as people are notified, I can't imagine. And I know it's gone from a rescue mission to a recovery
298. 23:16mission. And we're with all the first responders that are moving actively too. So at the Defense
299. 23:22Department, our thoughts and prayers go out. We are actively investigating to find out what happened
300. 23:27and why, and as we get updates, you will have them.
301. 23:31God bless.
302. 23:34Now let me just say I'm glad that Pete Hetsek's
303. 23:39was head Seth was confirmed.
304. 23:42It was a tight vote.
305. 23:43JD Vance had to cast a deciding vote because it was a tie,
306. 23:4750-50, three Republican senators opposed,
307. 23:51Pete Hetsek's confirmation, which caused Vice President
308. 23:55of JD Vance's say, I thought I was done voting in the Senate
309. 23:57because you know he was a state senator
310. 23:59from the state of Ohio before being elected vice president
311. 24:02of the United States.
312. 24:05I have to tell you, I'm not trying to be,
313. 24:10you know, I guess you have to create another term,
314. 24:13conspiratorial necessarily.
315. 24:16I just have a hard time reconciling how this is possible.
316. 24:22As I said to you before, the American Airlines flight,
317. 24:25and for those who were watching the video
318. 24:26was kind of confused, which was which.
319. 24:28In the video we showed, the larger light
320. 24:30was the American Airlines plane.
321. 24:32The smaller light was the helicopter that crashed into the plane.
322. 24:37The American Airlines plane was in descent as it was preparing to land at Reagan in Washington,
323. 24:44DC.
324. 24:49Based on the descent and where the American Airlines plane was positioned, that it would
325. 24:57not have been able to see the helicopter, but the helicopter certainly with as, you know,
326. 25:06Secretary Hexant said it was equipped with night vision,
327. 25:09capacities that the helicopter certainly would have been able
328. 25:12to see the airplane.
329. 25:19This is very, very much so unsettling to me.
330. 25:26And it again causes me to ask the question,
331. 25:29how is this possible?
332. 25:30I understand there, errors, there are some reports
333. 25:33indicating that the helicopter ignored
334. 25:36the air traffic control warnings in alert.
335. 25:44And again, I'm not a pilot.
336. 25:48So I'm not trying to offer expertise beyond the scope of my capacity, Billy Carson.
337. 26:03So I will reiterate my appeal to you to pray for the families of the deceased.
338. 26:15But I pray that righteousness and truth will prevail in our nation.
339. 26:21We have been in an environment of deception and lies.
340. 26:28So repeated.
341. 26:29I mean, we still, I mean, how far do we need to go?
342. 26:36which should be recognized as the biggest scandal in American history.
343. 26:44We had a week in that Bernie's president for the last four years.
344. 26:50House Speaker Mike Johnson just came out and said he came to him to ask him about an executive order he signed.
345. 26:55Mr. Biden insisted. I didn't sign that.
346. 26:59Though his signature is on the page.
347. 27:01People coming out after the fact that you can't really talk to him after three o'clock because he loses it.
348. 27:06which is indicative of sundowner syndrome
349. 27:09from those who are suffering with dementia
350. 27:13and Alzheimer's at different stages.
351. 27:16Anybody who has family members that have gone through that,
352. 27:18you know what sundowners are symptoms of sundowners.
353. 27:21Things are okay earlier in the morning,
354. 27:23but as the day goes on and yet you have all of these people,
355. 27:30oh yeah, yeah.
356. 27:32I'll even tell you, I believe that the debate
357. 27:38when Biden's mental decline was put on display
358. 27:40everybody, the people inside the White House weren't surprised by that. They weren't surprised.
359. 27:48Oh, can't you believe it? Look, I just pray for righteousness and truth to prevail in our nation.
360. 28:04Today, you had day two of, that's right, Mitch McConnell seems to be struggling with some decline
361. 28:12mentally. Don't forget he was at a press conference and was asked about running for re-election,
362. 28:17dude, just blanked out in front of everybody. And then his handler's, that's enough. No more
363. 28:22questions which led to him announcing his resignation from Senator Majora
364. 28:27leader at some point in the future. Yeah day two of Robert Kennedy Jr.'s
365. 28:36confirmation hearings for his position at Health and Human Services as the
366. 28:39Secretary of Health and Human Services which is the agency under which the CDC
367. 28:44exists, the National Institutes of Health exists, NIA exists, all of those
368. 28:49underneath the HHS. All right. You had Cash Patel nominated to be the FBI
369. 28:56director, Tulsi Gabbard, nominated to be the director of national intelligence. And I just,
370. 29:10I've long said, particularly R.K. Jr. Tulsi Gabbard, I have questions about. I did not until today
371. 29:19have questions about Cash Patel. Now, I'll tell you, I like Cash Patel. I think his nomination
372. 29:25was profound. And I mean, he demonstrated, he acquitted himself
373. 29:29stupidly today, but there's one portion of today's hearings that caused the hair in the back of my neck to stand up and say,
374. 29:39Oh, I didn't know he had that position. And I'm not trying to bag on him. I'm not. This is just something that gives me concern.
375. 29:47And y'all know, I'm an equal opportunity truth teller. I'm grateful that the Lord gave us President Trump has granted us a reprieve.
376. 29:56But I'm going to tell you guys the truth. All right.
377. 29:59This one thing that Cas Patel said make me concerned.
378. 30:03I'm grateful he seems very willing to let it all,
379. 30:08let it all tell the truth about everything.
380. 30:10You know, but it's one thing he said
381. 30:12about warrantless searches under Section 702,
382. 30:17which is commonly understood as the FISA authorization,
383. 30:22Amy Paulson.
384. 30:23What it was is that he described the necessity
385. 30:27of law enforcement, the FBI in particular,
386. 30:30getting warrants to come through Americans' data secured by FBI under Section 702 under
387. 30:37FISA, it's impractical to have to get a warrant to come through that data.
388. 30:42Listen to and watch clip number five, clip number five, go.
389. 30:46The issue for me is not with FISA and 702.
390. 30:49The issue has been those that have been in government service and abused it in the past.
391. 30:55So we must work with Congress to provide the protections necessary for American citizens,
392. 31:00dealing with these matters, including hostage rescue operations in real time,
393. 31:04which we use FISA collection to find and save American hostages.
394. 31:09Having a warrant requirement to go through that information in real time
395. 31:15is just not comportive with the requirement to protect American citizenry.
396. 31:21I'm all open to working with Congress on finding a better way forward.
397. 31:24but right now these improvements that you've made go a long way.
398. 31:29Now, y'all know I'm going to translate again.
399. 31:33I like Cas Patel generally.
400. 31:35I was eagerly supportive of his nomination before I heard this today.
401. 31:40Then when I heard this, I was like, whoa, wait a minute.
402. 31:43What he's saying is as things stand currently,
403. 31:48he is not in favor of the FBI having to secure a warrant before coming through the
404. 31:55data collected by the FBI under FICE's 702 authorization.
405. 32:01I will remind you, this is the exact same provision that was used to spy on the Trump
406. 32:07campaign.
407. 32:08This is the exact same provision that allowed Carter Page to have warrantless searches of
408. 32:12his material.
409. 32:13This is the exact same provision.
410. 32:16Now I am grateful that Catherine Tell said I'm open to Congress to get a better fix, but
411. 32:23he says having to secure a warrant to come through the data
412. 32:27would be impractical.
413. 32:29Now I wanna be clear what everybody understands.
414. 32:32They collect the data.
415. 32:33The warrant would only be necessary
416. 32:35in order for them to comb through it.
417. 32:37I, maybe something's wrong with me.
418. 32:39I don't think it's an unnecessary step
419. 32:41to make sure law enforcement agencies satisfy
420. 32:44the Fourth Amendment considerations to get warrant approval
421. 32:47before coming through Americans' data
422. 32:50because 702 was authorized originally solely for foreigners,
423. 32:55not for American citizens.
424. 33:01At Wesley Biblical Similarly,
425. 33:02we believe God is raising up a movement across our nation
426. 33:05and around the world who hold fast
427. 33:07to the inerrancy of scripture and the hope of holiness.
428. 33:10We do this through bachelor's, masters,
429. 33:12and doctoral degrees, certificate programs,
430. 33:15and even training for laypeople.
431. 33:17So whatever your next step is
432. 33:18in being equipped for ministry, we're here for you.
433. 33:21And if you believe these are the kind of pastors
434. 33:23we need leading churches in the future,
435. 33:24we invite you to think about giving to Wesley Biblical
436. 33:27Seminary.

438. 33:31The enemy of your soul wants you to believe that where you are
439. 33:35is where you have to stay, that it's
440. 33:37some kind of a dead end street and you can't get out.
441. 33:39It's a cul-de-zac and it's a lie.
442. 33:41It's not true.
443. 33:42You don't have to be where you are if you don't want to be.
444. 33:47Dr. David Jeremiah continues his series, Hope,
445. 33:50and Anchor for Life.
446. 33:51next time on Turning Point 530 AM and 7PM Central on American Family Radio.
447. 33:58The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Bitted Common Terrets are available at
448. 34:09eFR.net back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
449. 34:15Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner Abraham Hamilton the third here. I want to be clear
450. 34:19about what I'm saying guys again I like Casmetel and I don't think the
451. 34:23concerned that I'm raising is going to thwart his confirmation. And I do think
452. 34:29perhaps if he is asked this question again, he I would hope you would offer a
453. 34:33different answer. But I want to make sure you understand what he's discussing. Okay,
454. 34:39he's discussing the section 702 for an intelligent service authorization. Okay,
455. 34:48the provision was passed to allow the Department of Justice to investigate
456. 34:55terrorists and foreigners with expediency.
457. 34:58But over time, and what he said his concern was,
458. 35:02my concern is not the existence of Section 702's authorization.
459. 35:05My concern is that we've had people in these positions
460. 35:08who have abused that authorization in the past.
461. 35:11Well, my response to that is,
462. 35:12well, why continue authorization?
463. 35:14Because here's the problem.
464. 35:16You're not always gonna be the same people in government.
465. 35:20Okay, when we pass laws, we can't allow laws
466. 35:22for people that we think are the good guys,
467. 35:24But take it away from people we think are the bad guys.
468. 35:29All right, I don't think we should exchange
469. 35:31our first amendment Bill of Rights protections
470. 35:34for expediencies in investigations,
471. 35:37especially after just witnessing the scope of FISA abuse.
472. 35:44Now, a part of my response to this is informed
473. 35:46by my law enforcement background.
474. 35:48I worked in the law enforcement agency
475. 35:51because of continual investigations by detectives
476. 35:54and federal and local PD task force with gang,
477. 35:58narcotics investigations and things of that nature,
478. 36:01where we have to have 24-hour access to judges
479. 36:04to secure warrants to conduct these investigations.
480. 36:08I have been, you know, the on-duty DA overnight
481. 36:13from midnight to 8 a.m.
482. 36:15so that a detective can get a warrant at 3 a.m.
483. 36:17because you know this drug dealing murder
484. 36:19is about to make a move, okay?
485. 36:21I don't think it is a impractical hurdle
486. 36:25to preserve the integrity of the freedoms that we as Americans enjoy while simultaneously
487. 36:31exercising law enforcement authority.
488. 36:34All right?
489. 36:37The collection of the data is going to happen.
490. 36:40It's happening.
491. 36:41What 702 authorizes is the Department of Justice to comb through the data without a warrant.
492. 36:50That makes me uncomfortable.
493. 36:54To Casper tells credit, he said, I am open to working with Congress to revise these authorizations.
494. 37:01So we protect Americans' freedoms while still exercising the law for enforcement duties, even in
495. 37:08exigent circumstances. Now what he also did is that he mentioned a circumstance where there's an
496. 37:13exigency present, but the law, as it states, currently is not narrowly tailored to what exigencies.
497. 37:19And the reason why you have the Fourth Amendment, and so I want everybody to understand that it
498. 37:25protects American citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures. So in order to secure a warrant to
499. 37:30comb through that data, as you use myself, for example, logic is use of John Doe.
500. 37:35Let's say the FBI is investigating, you know, Osama bin Laden, right, a non citizen, but Osama
501. 37:45bin Laden is conferring with John Doe, who is an American citizen.
502. 37:52Because of their interactions, the FBI has collected data that includes information interactions
503. 37:57between Osama bin Laden and John Doe, but they also have a whole bunch of data from John
504. 38:01that doesn't include Osama bin Laden.
505. 38:03What Casper Tal is saying is that I want to be able to look at all of John Doe's communications
506. 38:08without having to get a warrant because that aids me to efficiently thwart threats that could be present
507. 38:14on American citizens. What a warrant would require is that Casper Tal and his Department of Justice,
508. 38:19assuming he's confirmed, would have to go to a judge and say, judge, listen, we have specific
509. 38:27factual evidence that gives us indication of a reasonable suspicion or an articulation of
510. 38:32probable cause that John Doe is involved in potential criminal activity in order to review
511. 38:38John Doe's data. Cash
512. 38:55because it is 702 that led to President Trump's campaign being investigated.
513. 38:59It is 702 that was the foundation of the Russian collusion hoax.
514. 39:07You had, you had the dossier that was used to pursue Carter Page.
515. 39:17You see what I'm saying?
516. 39:18So when I heard that, my spotty sense is without, wait a minute, you can't just be in favor
517. 39:24or disfavor a particular provision of law depending on who is using the law.
518. 39:28And I agree, I'm grateful that we'll have better people in these positions, but you can't just
519. 39:34act like we haven't just witnessed the very reasons why we should be concerned about Section
520. 39:42702.
521. 39:43Now, another fact that Section 702 is up for reauthorization next year.
522. 39:50What needs to happen is that it needs to be revised so that we can balance appropriately
523. 39:56secure the American citizens' rights while also exercising law enforcement, investigatory
524. 40:03powers. But I am unwilling to sacrifice American citizens' freedoms for the sake of law enforcement
525. 40:11purposes. I don't find that to be an unnecessary or impractical step. So that is something
526. 40:16I was like, hmm, I didn't know that was your position on that Casper tell. All right,
527. 40:25I'm going to go a little further.
528. 40:29Get to Tulsi Gabri, but I also I'll explain to you guys.
529. 40:32And I've said this before.
530. 40:33This isn't new.
531. 40:34Again, I'm grateful for President Trump.
532. 40:37And for what he wants to do, I just have concerns about Robert Kennedy, Jr.
533. 40:43I do.
534. 40:45Robert Kennedy, Jr.
535. 40:46He's not 25 years old.
536. 40:47He's not forming his opinion, opinions about things.
537. 40:50He has a lifelong commitment on in areas that are concerning to me.
538. 40:54My hope would have been that you can get somebody who has the same positives as
539. 40:59Robert Kennedy Jr. without the negatives. For example, President Trump has announced
540. 41:03he's nominated, he's tapping Jay Baddacharya, Dr. Jay Baddacharya, to be the head of the NIH.
541. 41:09Well, NIH is under the authority of the Department of Health and Human Services. I would
542. 41:13prefer for Jay Baddacharya to be the HHS Secretary nominee. But you can have the
543. 41:18appropriate disposition, currency, and current and COVID, and investigating that,
544. 41:22you can have the appropriate concern about making sure that, you know, vaccines and
545. 41:29companies that make them are held accountable, right? But you don't have to
546. 41:35have the history of Robert Kennedy Jr. support for it. Let's start here. The
547. 41:40slaughter of unborn children in the womb. He's never said that I no longer have
548. 41:43that position. But in addition to that, and that's one of the more well-known
549. 41:48positions that he's held. But how about this? And I was disappointed that no
550. 41:55Republican senator asked this question. Did you know that
551. 41:58Robert Kennedy Junior once described gun owners as a
552. 42:01terrorist group? Did you know that? I'm not talking about
553. 42:06these gotcha questions. You know, Bernie's and you do you
554. 42:10see your organization that you founded these onesies? You see
555. 42:13these onesies you made up? That was so embarrassing to me. I
556. 42:16was like, you taking a Senate confirmation hearing to talk
557. 42:18about onesies, man. Do these onesies represent your position on
558. 42:22vaccines? Mr. Kennedy. I'm telling you Bernie Sanders, that's
559. 42:27to do that's the doctor from from back to the future. I'm telling you that's who he
560. 42:31is. I'm telling you and he spends his off them get off my lawn. All three of my
561. 42:36lawns that I got when I decided to support Hillary Clinton for president. Oh, I'm sorry.
562. 42:41She shall never be president. I am a Democratic Socialist but my campaign and
563. 42:47my fight for the poor has resulted in me having beach one property. But did you
564. 42:56know Robocated DeGene describe gun owners as a terror group? Why am I
565. 43:03mentioning this. Do you also know that Department of Health and Human Services
566. 43:06was used just in the previous administration? It was weaponized to target
567. 43:10firearm owners? Did you know that? How about this one?
568. 43:16Robert Kennedy Jr. previously called oil and gas companies, leaders,
569. 43:22quote, traitors who should be jailed for all eternity and demanded that they
570. 43:27be put to corporate death. So you want to be booed? That's like a rabbit fossil
571. 43:36fuel opponent. Now, why am I saying again, the Center for Disease Control, the CDC, was
572. 43:44the entity that prohibited American citizens from collecting rent and their properties.
573. 43:48The CDC was on the schmovin and no Republicans asked these questions. Why? I just, I just,
574. 44:00and I'm not, I'm just bringing this to your attention. I feel like President Trump could
575. 44:05have made a better nomination and I get the whole political thing, you know, because
576. 44:08They made this alliance politically,
577. 44:10but Robert Kennedy, the junior health
578. 44:11these positions like last week.
579. 44:14Like don't forget, dude was trying to run
580. 44:15for the presidency as a Democrat
581. 44:17to advance these positions.
582. 44:19There was a pivot and a moderation to focus
583. 44:21on making America healthy again,
584. 44:23as you made as a politicalizer, President Trump.
585. 44:25And I know President Trump did what he did,
586. 44:26you know, to get support.
587. 44:30And I'm aware that Robert Kennedy's support
588. 44:32helped him in some sectors of our society.
589. 44:35But I'm talking about me, what I believe.
590. 44:38And didn't we just have the same analysis that we applied to
591. 44:42cackling she or she never be president 2.0 when all of a
592. 44:44sudden to be president.
593. 44:46Now all of the positions she's held she don't hold him anymore.
594. 44:49Do we not hold Robert Kennedy to the same standards?
595. 44:53I want to know, Mr. Kennedy, do you believe gun owners are
596. 44:56terrorist group or terror group?
597. 45:00I need to know that.
598. 45:02I just feel like President Trump could have nominated a
599. 45:05person with all of Robert Kennedy strength, maybe not his
600. 45:07name recognition.
601. 45:09But with all of his strengths without any of his weaknesses.
602. 45:11And so I'm concerned about that.
603. 45:14Now the potential exists that Robert Kennedy can surprise all of us and you know that he
604. 45:21know he really doesn't believe none of the other stuff he used to believe.
605. 45:25But the reason why he said that oil and gas heads were traders because he was one of the
606. 45:30climate alarmists.
607. 45:31So I'm just concerned about that.
608. 45:36I'm just telling you the truth.
609. 45:37And I if I was a senator, I first would take my position in my role to advise and consent
610. 45:43Seriously, so I would offer advice to President Trump.
611. 45:48And I would either consent or not consent
612. 45:50because of my concerns.
613. 45:57And it's also very possible President Trump says,
614. 45:59listen, you stay in this lane,
615. 46:01you know, I don't know if you're moving a hitch.
616. 46:04Albert Brineman, you learn how to dance.
617. 46:07We don't need none of that.
618. 46:08We don't need all that right here.
619. 46:10Right here, this way you go, right here.
620. 46:12This way you go, you don't move right here.
621. 46:14You move, I'm firing you.
622. 46:16None of this, none of this.
623. 46:17No, no, no, no, right here.
624. 46:19That could be, but I'm just telling you, I would ask.
625. 46:28Which brings me to, man, I have so much other stuff
626. 46:31maybe I'll get to these last two, Tossie Gabbard.
627. 46:36I hope she does, well, I think she may do well
628. 46:37and I learned something that I didn't know.
629. 46:38She said that she's Hindu.
630. 46:40Did you know that?
631. 46:41She said that today, I didn't know that.
632. 46:46And she says that some are trying to target her
633. 46:47for religious bigotry.
634. 46:49I don't know, but I just, I feel like you could have found
635. 46:52somebody with Tossie Gabbard's strengths
636. 46:54without her weaknesses.
637. 46:58You know, I, she's not as chronologically seasoned
638. 47:03as Robert Kennedy, but I have a hard time believing someone
639. 47:06as experienced as Robert Kennedy to Jr.
640. 47:08is all of a sudden willing to abandon his core convictions.
641. 47:12And I don't think I'm unreasonable for thinking that.
642. 47:14Pussy Gabbard is not as chronologically seasoned,
643. 47:16but she's had core convictions for quite some time.
644. 47:19I do believe she could be good for intelligence, could be.
645. 47:24But when you have an opportunity to nominate somebody
646. 47:26in my opinion, I would rather have someone
647. 47:30who I know how they were functioned versus,
648. 47:32But I think could be.
649. 47:35Last one.
650. 47:36I'll end with this.
651. 47:37I don't think I can get both of these in.
652. 47:38Man, I'm minding my business.
653. 47:40All of a sudden I come across a reporter on Al Jazeera, Julia Galliano calls herself shame
654. 47:45in the United States of America because we have the audacity to send the millions of
655. 47:49illegal immigrants back out of our country and you won't believe what she said about
656. 47:54that.
657. 47:55I'm not going to spoil it for you.
658. 47:56Listen to and watch clip number three, Julia Galliano reporting on the million Americans
659. 48:02Repatriating illegal aliens.
660. 48:03Clip three, go.
661. 48:05Mexico cannot cope, not sure any country can,
662. 48:08but Mexico can't cope with like a sudden influx
663. 48:10of millions of people.
664. 48:11I mean, as much as she wants to embrace them,
665. 48:14to use her word when they come back
666. 48:16and make them feel welcome.
667. 48:17It all sounds very nice when you're listening to it,
668. 48:19but the reality of that is just completely unsustainable.
669. 48:22A lot of these people have lived in the US for decades.
670. 48:25They have lives there, they have families,
671. 48:26they're good standing citizens,
672. 48:28so they're not in a position to just be deported
673. 48:32and say like, oh, okay, well, I'm just gonna come back here
674. 48:34and take a job making a fraction of what I used to make
675. 48:37and go to my town where I don't have anything left,
676. 48:39which has maybe been overrun by violence.
677. 48:41I mean, it's just, it's unrealistic to think
678. 48:44that that wouldn't lead to a crisis.
679. 48:46Now she's talking about the Mexican president.
680. 48:48Now wait a minute, Mexico can't absorb millions
681. 48:51of people being brought back to that country,
682. 48:53but we're supposed to?
683. 48:55We're supposed to just absorb millions of people
684. 48:59in the United States of America?
685. 49:02You gotta be kidding me.
686. 49:04I just find out to be so ironic.
687. 49:07The nerve of you, ma'am.
688. 49:11I know the Mexican, she's talking about the Mexican president.
689. 49:13Mexican president's saying they're all welcome,
690. 49:15but Mexico can't absorb millions of people
691. 49:17with a sudden influx of millions of people.
692. 49:18I'm not sure any country can.
693. 49:20Ain't that what they just tried to do with our country?
694. 49:23Boy, oh boy, oh boy, I'm telling you.
695. 49:25And I didn't even get to let you see
696. 49:27the former Kenyan president who was saying that,
697. 49:29wait a minute, why y'all crying
698. 49:30because there's an America first policy.
699. 49:33American all you nothing?
700. 49:34Maybe I have to get to that later.
701. 49:35Y'all have a green evening.
