11. 0:31Good evening, everybody.
12. 0:34Welcome to the Hamilton Corner.
13. 0:36Abraham Hamilton III is my name.
14. 0:38I am joined by the Corner contingent.
15. 0:40Right across from me, my man, 100 grand, Mr. Bobby.

20. 1:11I gotta have more cowbell.
21. 1:14the predator he might survive this show without cutting off the flow of oxygen to his brain.
22. 1:27Thank you for joining the program.
23. 1:28I'm just kidding.
24. 1:29Not extra smedium, maybe just smedium.
25. 1:34It's hard, man.
26. 1:38You can't you can't bust back when you don't have the mic.
27. 1:40That's the problem.
28. 1:41I mean, I can hear you with nobody else in here.
29. 1:44Like I didn't give me the warning for that one by me.
30. 1:47Thank you everybody for tuning into the program.
31. 1:50We are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the show.
32. 1:52I'm joking laughing now really to keep from crying because oh my gosh what a day what a day
33. 2:00what a day at this very moment many of you have not most of you are making your transition to your
34. 2:04from your part time jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs where you cultivate
35. 2:10an outcome as you do so I want to remind you to do so with intentionality understanding the
36. 2:19and primacy that God places on families.
37. 2:25Children are no doubt the heritage of the Lord.
38. 2:29The fruit of the womb is his reward, no doubt about it.
39. 2:33But God ordained the family as the first human institution.
40. 2:39We're gonna have a conversation today.
41. 2:42President Trump signed the executive order,
42. 2:44y'all know when he's right.
43. 2:46I support, but if he does something wrong,
44. 2:49I'm gonna talk about it.
45. 2:51I'm gonna do some of that today.
46. 2:51I believe he made a misstep with the executive
47. 2:53what he signed today concerning IVF.
48. 2:57So we'll get into that in a moment.
49. 2:59But before we do that, I want to remind you
50. 3:03of the opportunity you have as you make your way
51. 3:07to your full time jobs that it is your opportunity
52. 3:10as well as I have the same opportunity
53. 3:13to execute our Kings Commission starting right in our homes.
54. 3:17All too often, we've allowed, we allow the world
55. 3:21place, primacy and significance on everything else to the neglect of our own families in
56. 3:28our own homes.
57. 3:29And I simply want to encourage you to resist that press to resist that strain, the world
58. 3:34places significance and importance on everything else.
59. 3:38But I want to tell you, your home is your first ministerial outlet.
60. 3:42Your family is your first ministerial outlet.
61. 3:45I know we have a wide swath of demographic variance within our audience here.
62. 3:51God knows better than I do, the makeup of your home and the makeup of your of your families.
63. 3:56But regardless of that, the truth still remains that the first human institution that God established
64. 4:02was the family because the family is central to God's plan to establish his kingdom multi-generationally,
65. 4:09which he does in the hearts and minds of people.
66. 4:12So as you're making your way home, let today be a day, then you commit yourself to exalt
67. 4:20the king of glory, exalting the king of glory, starting right in your homes. To the word of God,
68. 4:25we go, Matthew chapter 22 is where I want to go today. Matthew chapter 22 verses 34 through 40,
69. 4:32a very familiar passage of scripture. Matthew is here recording Jesus' discourse after he had silenced
70. 4:40the Sadducees. The Pharisees say, Oh my turn, let me at him. And they thought that they would stump,
71. 4:47They thought that they would stump Yeshua, but they learned otherwise.
72. 4:55They learned otherwise.
73. 5:01Matthew 22 verse 34, but when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees,
74. 5:08they gathered themselves together. One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him,
75. 5:16teacher, which is the great commandment in the law? And he said to him,
76. 5:20you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.
77. 5:26This is the great and foremost commandment and the second is like it. You shall love your neighbor as
78. 5:33yourself. On these two commandments depend the whole law and the prophets. On these two commandments
79. 5:41depend the whole law and
80. 5:44the prophets. As the scripture bears it out, the Pharisees entered the conversation in this particular
81. 5:53particular portion of scripture solely because they had witnessed Jesus' silence, the Sadducees.
82. 6:01And so the Sadducees and the Pharisees had their intramural political beef, each group
83. 6:07thinking that they were superior to the others in numerous ways, including theologically.
84. 6:14And so one of the party of the Pharisees, a lawyer, you know, you got to watch those
85. 6:18lawyers now, they might start talking about your sweater size, you know, I don't know,
86. 6:22You know, one of them, a lawyer asked Jesus a question.
87. 6:29The scripture bears out that when this Pharisee and lawyer
88. 6:34asked Jesus a question, he wasn't making a request
89. 6:38in pursuit of knowledge or wisdom.
90. 6:40No, he presented his objection to and challenge to Jesus
91. 6:48in the form of a question.
92. 6:52See, I always say there is a difference between asking questions and questioning.
93. 7:01You can ask a question without questioning the one to whom the question is posed because
94. 7:09the distinction here is the attitude and the intentions of the heart.
95. 7:13When you ask someone a question and it is a genuine pursuit of knowledge and wisdom,
96. 7:20you are seeking maybe information that you did not have.
97. 7:22you're seeking perhaps the application, the proper application of some information you
98. 7:27may have, that would be evident that you are simply asking a question. But when one is questioning,
99. 7:35they're simply presenting their challenge or objection in an interrogatory form.
100. 7:43Discernment allows us to identify the difference when presented. In this instance, this is certainly
101. 7:51not some type of fishing expedition because the text tells us plainly what was going on
102. 7:56with this particular Pharisee lawyer.
103. 7:59The scripture tells us one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question testing him.
104. 8:06This was a challenge to Jesus.
105. 8:09And he also tried to conceal the evidence of the challenge by offering flattery with the
106. 8:18beginning of his question by saying, teacher.
107. 8:20See, the words out of his mouth were conveying that he was in a humble disposition as he presented
108. 8:28his interrogatory.
109. 8:30The attitude of his heart was not one of humility,
110. 8:33but one of maximum hubris, teacher,
111. 8:37which is the great commandment in the law.
112. 8:39He thought he was gonna catch Jesus up
113. 8:44in a no-win situation by basically saying,
114. 8:47you professed to be sent from God,
115. 8:49yet you are about to provide an answer that excuses people
116. 8:54for rebelling against the law of God.
117. 8:57Oh, but he didn't know who he was playing with.
118. 9:01He didn't know who he was playing with.
119. 9:03Jesus says to him, verse 37,
120. 9:04you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,
121. 9:08with all your soul and with all your mind.
122. 9:13This is the great and foremost commandment.
123. 9:20I've explained before when Jesus says this,
124. 9:22he actually quotes from, well, the second part quotes
125. 9:27from the book of Leviticus, chapter 19,
126. 9:28when it says love your neighbor as yourself.
127. 9:32But in this instance, he's quoting a Deuteronomy,
128. 9:36Chapter 6, verse 5.
129. 9:39So he is literally using the mosaic writings to answer him.
130. 9:45Oh man, it's just absolutely brilliant.
131. 9:49Citing Deuteronomy 5, Deuteronomy 6 verse 5,
132. 9:52you'll find if you read Deuteronomy 6, 5,
133. 9:54the word mind is not used
134. 9:55because the Hebrew term for heart in Deuteronomy
135. 9:58includes the mind.
136. 9:59So when Jesus quotes this, he's quoting it exactly right
137. 10:02as it would have been understood
138. 10:04from the Deuterocannical text, all right?
139. 10:07One of the major things I want to point out to you is Jesus says,
140. 10:10you are to love the Lord with all your heart, with all your soul,
141. 10:14and with all your mind. Brothers and sisters, Christianity is an
142. 10:22intelligent faith. The intellectual capacity, the reasoning functions,
143. 10:30the main, the parameters of the mind were never intended to be excluded
144. 10:36from our faith in the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
145. 10:40to say it differently, Christ followers should be a thinking people.
146. 10:48We should be a thinking people.
147. 10:51We should be a people who are not afraid of handling what many may perceive as difficult
148. 10:57matters.
149. 10:58We should be a people that we're not afraid to investigate.
150. 11:02One of the major things that my wife and I committed ourselves to in an effort to disciple
151. 11:06our children is to create an environment where they can ask probing questions.
152. 11:14We want them to explore the details of the faith because we want their faith ultimately
153. 11:18to be their own.
154. 11:19We don't want to put our children in a situation where they are attempting to defend daddy's
155. 11:23faith or to defend mommy's faith.
156. 11:29We want to create an environment where we are able to show why the Word of God is superior
157. 11:36to any other purportable religious text.
158. 11:44We can think through these issues when we say and we endeavor and I'm saying we're perfect.
159. 11:50We're striving in this way.
160. 11:52When we I know the common political expression is to be quote unquote pro life, but in our
161. 11:58home we talk about the sanctity of human life from conception until natural death because
162. 12:03we always want to want to make sure that we connect our beliefs to the word of God.
163. 12:11We believe in the sanctity of human life because of the author of life.
164. 12:16We value life because of the author of life.
165. 12:19This is not merely some political talking point for us.
166. 12:24Our commitment in this fashion is an extension
167. 12:28of our commitment to the Lord.
168. 12:32We value people because they're a bearance of God's image.
169. 12:37One of the things that share something my dad told me,
170. 12:43you know, even somebody says something to you.
171. 12:46You know, even if, you know, this is the old school tech,
172. 12:48they might be a whino.
173. 12:49Some of y'all don't know what a whino is.
174. 12:52You might be a writer, that's old school vernacular
175. 12:54who are drunkard, even a drunkard,
176. 12:57if they say something to you.
177. 13:00Don't discard them just because
178. 13:02would you perceive with them superficially.
179. 13:05Way it evaluated by the truth of God's word.
180. 13:08If it's wrong, cast it off.
181. 13:10But don't simply discard it because of what you perceive
182. 13:12the person to be, because every human being
183. 13:15is made in the image of God.
184. 13:18And people are worthy of respect.
185. 13:20I learned that from my father first.
186. 13:22And then I saw that in the word of God.
187. 13:26We have to be very careful that we don't allow ourselves to just carry the water because there's some political nomenclature,
188. 13:32but we haven't thought through what we really believe about this issue.
189. 13:35Or we haven't thought through what does the scripture truly say about these issues.
190. 13:39Call to worship the Lord includes, let me be even more biblically accurate.
191. 13:48Our call to love the Lord.
192. 13:50You shall love the Lord your God.
193. 13:52With all your heart, with all your soul, but also with all your mind.
194. 13:58Too many professing believers exclude their minds
195. 14:03from their commitments to love the Lord.
196. 14:09Loving the Lord with our minds includes
197. 14:12the New Testament command studying to show ourselves approved,
198. 14:16workmen worthy of our not to be put ashamed because we rightly
199. 14:22divide the word of truth.
200. 14:25Loving the Lord with our minds is intrinsic to Christ's followers.
201. 14:33It is a part of our commitment to be disciples.
202. 14:38We have to get out of this this posture to where we're lazy,
203. 14:44generally speaking, but also particularly speaking today,
204. 14:48in our cultivation of our minds in pursuit of loving the Lord.
205. 14:52We love the Lord with our hearts, our souls, and with our minds.
206. 15:00A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker,
207. 15:03someone beginning at verse one, it tells us these words.
208. 15:07Blessed is the man who walks not in the council of the wicked,
209. 15:12or stands in the way of sinners, or sits in the seat of scoffers,
210. 15:16but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
211. 15:19and on his law he meditates day and night.
212. 15:22The most powerful weapon in the universe is the word of God,
213. 15:26which is also known as the sword of the Spirit.
214. 15:29As a believer spends time reading and meditating on the word of God,
215. 15:33He or she is fortifying their mind, body, and spirit against the attacks of the Kingdom of Darkness.
216. 15:40Time reading and meditating on God's word prepares us to step out onto the battlefield of life
217. 15:46to walk in victory. We as believers are wise to make it a high priority to read and meditate on
218. 15:53the Word of God every single day of our lives. Being lighted into the darkness, this is the
219. 16:07Hamilton Corner on American family radio.
220. 16:11Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here.
221. 16:15Just a reminder March 1st we will be in Hope, Arkansas at the Garrett Memorial Christian
222. 16:19Schools Gala.
223. 16:21It is that afternoon, 530 PM that Saturday you can register by going to GMCS Gala 2025. Event
224. 16:32right dot com or you can register by mail. I will be
225. 16:38sharing at the gala there in Hope Arkansas. It's coming up.
226. 16:44It is not this Saturday, but next Saturday. Next Saturday. Let me
227. 16:50check. That's right. That's right. Next Saturday. So looking
228. 16:55forward to being there. And hopefully I'll get to see you
229. 17:01there. All right. I'll start with learn about this. Really was nauseating for me. So some of you
230. 17:11by now might have seen this story, but thanks to the work of Doge, the Department of Government
231. 17:18Efficiency, and they were working with the US Treasury Department, they discovered that US
232. 17:24Treasury spent up to $4.7 trillion. Yes, you heard that right.
233. 17:34A trillion dollars in untraceable payments. $4.7 trillion. Good night. According to the
234. 17:48reports, the Treasury Access symbol is TAS. It is an identification code linking a Treasury
235. 17:56payment to a budget line item. Now, I want to be clear, this is a standard financial process.
236. 18:05However, in the federal government, the TAS field was optional for $4.7 trillion in payments.
237. 18:17Again, with a T, not a B trillion, trillion, trillion, T-R-I-L-L-I-O-N, trillion dollars.
238. 18:27Well, $4.7 trillion, the identification code field was left blank, making the payment almost
239. 18:40impossibly untraceable, not almost making it impossibly untraceable.
240. 18:46Now I want to be clear about something.
241. 18:49I'm not saying that all of this, this, this spending is necessarily foul play in and of
242. 18:54itself. Much of the spending was on things that was appropriated by Congress, meaning it
243. 19:03was passed by Congress, but let me be clear about something else. We haven't had a budget
244. 19:09passed by Congress really in close to well over a decade approaching past two decades because
245. 19:19we have these temporary spending omnibus bills, 10 months here, nine months here. And that's
246. 19:24how the government has been quote unquote funded, which is kind of allowed some of this, some
247. 19:30of the secondary with USAID and all to take place because we haven't had open budgetary
248. 19:37processes. Now again, thanks to doge and working with the US Treasury Department under the
249. 19:43new administration, they've no longer allowed the identification code field to be optional.
250. 19:51Now, the U.S. Treasury Department is obligated to assign an identification code to every expenditure.
251. 20:03But this is the thing that's saying it's nauseating.
252. 20:06$4.7 trillion.
253. 20:09And I get it.
254. 20:10Government, workers, and the human condition generally.
255. 20:14Well, if you don't make it mandatory, people are not going to do it.
256. 20:16I understand that.
257. 20:19My question is, why has it been mandatory?
258. 20:23$4.7 trillion?
259. 20:25Four point is entering these payments to be processed.
260. 20:35You know, I shared on this program how the Department of Defense has never passed an audit.
261. 20:45Not, that's not passed an audit.
262. 20:47Why hasn't the US Treasury expenditures been audited to say, hey, can we match this?
263. 20:55Can we match this $500 to this line item?
264. 20:58What about that $5 million?
265. 21:01Or, or?
266. 21:07Hmm.
267. 21:08Maybe I need to have Bobby's kingle.
268. 21:10He has a hat on.
269. 21:11It might not quite be tin foil, but let's see.
270. 21:15If you pass me your cap for a moment, Bobby,
271. 21:18could it be that the lack of mandatory identification code
272. 21:26application was conveniently allowed to be optional?
273. 21:32Is it possible that, oh, oh, so I don't have to mark
274. 21:36specifically where this money is going?
275. 21:39Is that something, let's just say,
276. 21:40that would make it easier or would that make it more difficult to send money where you wanted
277. 21:46to go and not be traced. Who was entering these payments to be processed? Who approved
278. 21:56it? Who was validating the authorizations? What, what, and this is one of the reasons
279. 22:03why I'm beside myself. And you know, when, when it really boils down to, and I am thankful
280. 22:10for the work that Doge is doing, I'm thankful for the positive contributions of Elon Musk,
281. 22:16No, but I'm just going to say it right now.
282. 22:18I haven't forgotten that Elon Musk is also one
283. 22:21who is a transhumanist.
284. 22:22All right, I haven't forgotten about that.
285. 22:25All right, so, you know, I appreciate these positive things,
286. 22:29but I'm not like one of these people like,
287. 22:30oh yes, Elon Musk can do no wrong.
288. 22:32Oh no, I'm not one of these people
289. 22:34that says anybody can do no wrong.
290. 22:39But getting back to this, it just,
291. 22:45so I'm going to get to a story later
292. 22:46in these first three weeks,
293. 22:47Doge has reported that they've been able to cut $55 billion
294. 22:51waste fraud and abuse in three weeks. It provokes the question in me.
295. 22:57Why hasn't anybody else tried this before?
296. 22:59We get lots of a little rhetoric. We get lots of let me be clear. You know,
297. 23:07Rockles, say Obama open change. I hope you change. I hope we make change from
298. 23:13your cash. The bushes, you know, why, why haven't we done any of this before?
299. 23:23$4.7 trillion with no identification code applied.
300. 23:28So we cannot, we cannot trace where that money has gone specifically.
301. 23:35Again, I'm positive that much of it was appropriated spending,
302. 23:40but can we say all of it was?
303. 23:42No, we can't, you know why we can't?
304. 23:44Because we can't trace it.
305. 23:47We can't trace it.
306. 23:47So now we close that loophole and make identification codes mandatory.
307. 23:53Now, that 4.7 trillion is spent.
308. 24:02How much more?
309. 24:03We haven't gotten into this place.
310. 24:10where there's this outsized debt, 32 plus trillion dollars, that does not include unfunded mandates
311. 24:22in entitlement programs.
312. 24:23So the debt that America has is far more than 32 trillion.
313. 24:27That 32 trillion number does not include the unfunded mandates.
314. 24:31But we got into this spending more ass because it has been a bipartisan project.
315. 24:39You've heard me say that?
316. 24:41And I will continue to say that because that is a simple fact.
317. 24:45We are learning things now.
318. 24:48Thanks to this young lady, data Republican, she's posting all of this data.
319. 24:52She's one of the major reasons why the USAID story broke.
320. 24:55Okay.
321. 24:56And she's showing that the whole idea of the uni party is a real deal, especially when it
322. 25:02comes to money to that point.
323. 25:07I'll know it.
324. 25:08Equal opportunity truth teller.
325. 25:11Senator Tom Cotton from Arkansas is in the investigatory crosshairs at the moment.
326. 25:19Why is he?
327. 25:22Because he is the executive director of a taxpayer funded nonprofit organization called
328. 25:30the International Republican Institute, the International Republican Institute.
329. 25:38The International Republican Institute received more than $130.7 million in federal grants in
330. 25:462024 alone.
331. 25:49The International Republican Institute, its mission on its own website, touts its global
332. 25:56influence.
333. 25:57The tagline for the International Republican Institute is advancing democracy worldwide.
334. 26:03Hmm.
335. 26:04How do you square that circle with an America first agenda, I wonder?
336. 26:09That's that'll be interesting to see
337. 26:152024 alone the IRI international Republican Institute received over
338. 26:20130 point seven million dollars that
339. 26:26130 point seven million dollars to the international Republican Institute came from where
340. 26:33anybody want to take a guess
341. 26:37USAID
342. 26:40You can find this story at American family news.net AFN.net
343. 26:45The $130.7 million of federal grants to the IRI came from USAID.
344. 26:52In his role as the chairman, I'm sorry, as the executive director for the
345. 27:00International Republican Institute, Tom Cotton does not receive compensation.
346. 27:03However, IRI commits huge sums for its directors for things like travel and
347. 27:14pensions and fringe benefits. So when I say you've done received compensation,
348. 27:20You're not receiving under a salary, but there are some coins being put away for dare. I say a later time in
349. 27:292024 alone the IRI paid 12 million
350. 27:33173 thousand seven hundred forty one dollars for travel and
351. 27:3814 million two hundred thirty two thousand one hundred eight dollars for benefits. This is only in 2024 guys
352. 27:44only in 2024
353. 27:52Now I've mentioned to you that senator Tom Cotton is the executive director of the IRI
354. 27:56Did I mention to you some of his board members?
355. 27:59Oh, no, I didn't mention them to you yet.
356. 28:00I'm so glad you asked who they are.
357. 28:02Senator Dan Sullivan, Republican, is on the board of directors.
358. 28:05Senator Lindsey Graham from North Carolina is on the board of directors.
359. 28:09Senator Joni Ernst from Iowa is on the board of directors.
360. 28:13Mitt Romney, Mittens, put him on.
361. 28:16Mitt Romney is on the board of directors.
362. 28:20Not used to be, they're on the board right now.
363. 28:23They're on the board of directors right now.
364. 28:26Guess who just rotated off of the Board of Directors?
365. 28:33That would be the current Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.
366. 28:37Just rotated off the Board of Directors before being nominated as President Trump's Secretary
367. 28:44of State.
368. 28:46Representatives Kay Granger, Republican, Representative Jake Elsey, Republican, also currently on the
369. 28:52Board of Directors.
370. 28:53You find out that this nonprofit organization is a who's who of Republican lawmakers.
371. 29:09Why am I saying this?
372. 29:10at the very beginning folks I truly believe as we continue to dig deep into these things
373. 29:14you're going to see just how deep and I know I'm not saying that publicly we're going to get to the
374. 29:18depths but you're going to have more and more stories that are going to come out that you're
375. 29:23going to find that a lot of Republicans were on to take just like a lot of the Democrats
376. 29:30and so when you ask yourself wait a minute now why is it you know we have these candidates and
377. 29:34they seem like good candidates when they're campaigning in my backyard and they talk to talk
378. 29:38And they talk about that they are conservative and they are for cut wasteful spending and they want to they're taxing up already and all these
379. 29:44Then they get to Washington DC and somehow that
380. 29:47$174,000 salary that $200,000 salary and about six months they end up worth tens of millions of dollars. How does that happen?
381. 29:57This is how it happens. Now, connect the stories guys
382. 30:01$4.7 trillion in untraceable payments
383. 30:04How many of you included myself? Guys, I didn't know the international Republican, what is it the IRI?
384. 30:11The International Republican Institute, I didn't know that entity existed.
385. 30:16I didn't know that entity existed.
386. 30:19And most of you, I'm sure some of you might have known about it.
387. 30:22There may be a few, but I'm positive.
388. 30:24I'm pretty sure the majority of you listening me right now,
389. 30:26you didn't know the Institute, the International Republican Institute existed.
390. 30:29But guess what?
391. 30:31In 2024, they got over 130 million of your taxpayer dollars.
392. 30:34And mine, we didn't know this organization existed,
393. 30:40but they got over 130 million of our taxpayer dollars.
394. 30:43Why?
395. 30:44How?
396. 30:46And this is what I'm saying that's nauseating.
397. 30:48That it has been a bipartisan effort to rest control of our nation and our government away
398. 30:56from us.
399. 30:57This is why I appeal to people who are Democrats that I don't care if you don't like Elon Musk.
400. 31:01I don't care if you don't like Donald Trump.
401. 31:03I don't care about that.
402. 31:04What you should care about is that you're finally getting to learn what some of your taxpayer
403. 31:07money is going.
404. 31:08You're finally getting to learn.
405. 31:12Wait a minute.
406. 31:13So that's that could be how AOC is now worth what she's worth.
407. 31:18What'd you say?
408. 31:20$30 million.
409. 31:21How long has AOC been in Congress?
410. 31:24Five years in Congress, this woman goes from being a bartender to worth $30 million in terms of net wealth.
411. 31:29This is sickening.
412. 31:40How can a nation that we the people are supposed to be the ultimate arbiters of truth?
413. 31:45I mean, I'm being sorry, the ultimate arbiters of what our nation consists of?
414. 31:50But we can have an organization like this that none of us knows exists,
415. 31:53but it has 130.7 over $130.7 million of our money.
416. 31:58In 2024 alone, dare I ask how much money the IRA got in 2023?
417. 32:04In 2022? In 2021? These are the kinds of things that are sickening.
418. 32:12What should cause all of us to say, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
419. 32:15this has gotten out of control. And what can we and what are we going to do differently to change it?
420. 32:24We must champion the effort to reveal all of the corruption.
421. 32:35That's why you got the hit dogs hollering.
422. 32:37Oh no, USA is providing diapers for the children
423. 32:41in Mozambique.
424. 32:44We need to keep sending condoms to Gaza
425. 32:47because that's the front to let groups
426. 32:50that we didn't even know exist,
427. 32:51get hundreds of millions of our taxpayer dollars.
428. 32:53We didn't even know these people exist.
429. 33:00The American Family Association's mission
430. 33:02is to inform, equip, and activate individuals
431. 33:06to strengthen the moral foundations of our culture.
432. 33:09We also support the church.
433. 33:11Our goal is to be a leading organization
434. 33:13in biblical worldview training for cultural transformation.
435. 33:17AFA aims to evangelize the lost and disciple the believer.
436. 33:21We aim to strengthen biblical marriages
437. 33:23and equip parents to raise godly children.
438. 33:26Thank you for standing with the American Family Association.
439. 33:31We're going to dig a little deeper into the verse we started with, Matthew 624 and a few others.
440. 33:36We cannot serve God and money.
441. 33:39The generosity is a key piece of this as well.
442. 33:43I think about what Ron blew the authors says often.
443. 33:46That is that giving actually loosens the grip that money can have over our lives.
444. 33:53Faith and Finance with Rob West weekdays at 9 a.m. Central or on the AFR app.
445. 33:59Hamilton Quarter podcast and one-minute common terrors are available at aFR.net back to the Hamilton corner on American family radio
446. 34:15Welcome back to the Hamilton corner guys. I know that there are there are some good people in DC
447. 34:22I know that but I think we're gonna find out more and more with tangible evidence just how much
448. 34:32Both Republicans and Democrats have been selling American people down the proverbial river and it's it's sickening
449. 34:38And I'm not trying to, you know, posture some like moral equivalence and all of that, because
450. 34:44in terms of parties, they're not morally equivalent.
451. 34:47But I'm saying there is something that happens when people get into DC.
452. 34:52And I'm saying, and I'm telling you, I believe that something that happens is that people get
453. 34:55exposed to money and influence that causes them to change posture.
454. 35:00You know, I'm from Louisiana.
455. 35:01I appreciate Senator Kennedy's quips.
456. 35:05You know, he has great one-liners.
457. 35:08to be candid with Frank with you his votes don't reflect his quips.
458. 35:11So I'm more interested in your substantive votes than I am your sound bites for social
459. 35:17media and for the television, you know.
460. 35:21And I'm just, guys, it's disgusting.
461. 35:24$4.7 trillion doesn't just end up with the optional, you know, treasury account, what
462. 35:32is it called?
463. 35:33Symbol, treasure accounts, symbol identification code, conveniently going unchecked.
464. 35:38That doesn't just happen accidentally.
465. 35:42You can't just forget to click the box for $4.7 trillion in payments.
466. 35:54It's really, really sickening to me.
467. 35:57And again, I'm grateful that these things are happening now.
468. 36:00In many ways, it took somebody with President Trump's personality to do what's being done.
469. 36:04But my goodness, why did they have to come to this?
470. 36:10And we have so many within our citizenry that they're so consumed with benefits or well
471. 36:16for other things.
472. 36:17They don't care about anything else as long as that government check comes through.
473. 36:20It's crazy, man.
474. 36:30It's crazy.
475. 36:39I'm grateful for a lot of the things that's going on.
476. 36:41But President Trump signed an executive order today that I disagree with.
477. 36:51He signed an executive order today.
478. 36:53And again, I understand that this was in in in line with a campaign promise to where it's
479. 36:59is built as expanding access to in vitro fertilization
480. 37:04for families.
481. 37:05But here's the problem that I have with it.
482. 37:08Here's the problem that I have with it.
483. 37:10The executive order does not define family.
484. 37:19This is another step in the direction
485. 37:22toward commodifying children.
486. 37:24For children are not bearers of God's image
487. 37:27ordained by God pursuant to natural law
488. 37:30be anchored within a loving family with a married father and mother.
489. 37:35The father is married to the mother.
490. 37:38President Trump cited as one of his motivations that the reproductive rates in our nation
491. 37:46have reached record lows, which that is a true statement.
492. 37:49I have explained to you that our reproduction rates, the demographic winter in Europe is
493. 37:56approaching our shores as well.
494. 37:57And what I'm saying now is not meant to demean or diminish anybody who's been conceived through
495. 38:03IVF, not to cast dispersions on any individuals or families who've done that, but to talk about
496. 38:09the principle of the sanctity of human life within the context that God has designed for human life,
497. 38:15that is the family. And I know that is Elon Musk's position, you know, we need more babies, no Elon
498. 38:23We need more families.
499. 38:25We don't simply need more babies.
500. 38:28We need more families.
501. 38:30And I wasn't planning to get into this because in a lot of ways I felt like this was tabloid's
502. 38:34father, but it's not lost on me that this lady, Ashley St. Clair, who is known as a, I guess,
503. 38:41a right-wing influencer that after presenting herself to the public as if, you know, she's
504. 38:47an advocate for family value.
505. 38:49She comes out and announces that five months ago, she gave birth to Elon Musk's 13th child.
506. 38:56Elon Musk is pro-creating with no intention to raise his children himself, generally speaking,
507. 39:03some of these children, with no intention to be in the home and committed himself to his
508. 39:11mothers.
509. 39:12I mean, you could say what you want.
510. 39:13Elon Musk is on pace in Nick Cannon at this point.
511. 39:15He got, he got Nick Cannon like you had a catch up, chief.
512. 39:19And here's the other thing, the majority based on what's being reported of Elon Musk's
513. 39:24children have been conceived through in vitro fertilization.
514. 39:33And so this goes toward the reality of having a consistent, principled, biblically anchored
515. 39:38posture.
516. 39:40If we believe in the sanctity of human life and we believe that a person is a person from
517. 39:47conception through natural death, then that has to be consistent with the current popular
518. 39:54methodology within vitro fertilization.
519. 39:57It is undeniable that what is happening is that we are making people, we are conceiving
520. 40:02people with the expressed intention of terminating people.
521. 40:07I understand at the model and you have various clinics that want to have these high quote
522. 40:12quote success rates. So they end up creating more people than the end tend to allow to live.
523. 40:22There's this phenomenon of genetic testing that is prevalent in this guys. This, this is a branch
524. 40:32of the eugenics tree. This is not like natural cycle IVF when it was first created. But we have
525. 40:39this expansion and much of it is connected to the monetary angle. But this is where political
526. 40:45experience but sub against biblical truth.
527. 40:51It's not only babies that are needed, we need more families.
528. 40:58And so the lack of definition of the family
529. 41:01in President Trump's executive order leaves room
530. 41:05for children to be brought forth
531. 41:12and we are ascribing them and consigning them
532. 41:15with intentionality to live without a father or a mother.
533. 41:19in addition to the children that are being procreated
534. 41:24with the express intention to discard or to live
535. 41:26in perpetual cryo-freeze, we need to think through these things.
536. 41:33This is one area where I want to say very plainly
537. 41:36the president is wrong in this instance.
538. 41:39The counsel he's received is wrong.
539. 41:44Again, this is not the cast of spurs on any individual
540. 41:48or any family.
541. 41:49Some have pursued these things that didn't even know any better.
542. 41:53You know, we've done extensive programs on this show.
543. 41:56You can go and look it up in the podcast with the host of Hannah's Heart, where we talked
544. 42:03about in detail, you know, what is natural cycle IVF?
545. 42:07What is the prevailing methodologies?
546. 42:11What are non-discard facilities?
547. 42:13These are questions we need to have answers to because we can on one hand say that new
548. 42:23life is formed at a conception and then on the exact same turn pivot and then say,
549. 42:28Well, you can conceive children only to terminate them later.
550. 42:37That is not a consistent, biblically anchored position.
551. 42:45And you know, when it's just, it's sad for me to see.
552. 42:52For example, with this Ashley St. Clair announcement, people who were for years who said, oh, we believe
553. 43:01in family, every child needs a father and mother to rear them in the home when they grow.
554. 43:05And now, because Elon Musk is involved, and we know Elon Musk, and we know this because
555. 43:11as you saying, saying Claire is tweeting, posting on X,
556. 43:15that she's trying to call her baby daddy, he answering.
557. 43:19On X publicly for the world to see,
558. 43:21pick up the phone, Elon.
559. 43:25And people historically would say, wait, no, no.
560. 43:27Children need a father and a mother,
561. 43:28a married father and a mother.
562. 43:30And now because Elon Musk, maybe because he's, you know,
563. 43:32Uber billionaire on the right side of the political aisle,
564. 43:36and you have people who normally would have condemned
565. 43:39that kind of concept.
566. 43:41The same people who talked about baby mama's syndrome
567. 43:43all this kind of stuff, they're silent.
568. 43:45Now, this is inconsistent at a minimum,
569. 44:02if not far worse.
570. 44:05Now, I made it, and I didn't intend for this
571. 44:07to become a thing, but I say, man, don't kill.
572. 44:08Why, what has the babies done?
573. 44:11We have all these conversations, what about the children?
574. 44:14You know, children are not accessories like handbags
575. 44:17to be worn.
576. 44:20These are people made the demons of God, man.
577. 44:25In many ways, the measure of a society's civilization
578. 44:28is how do they handle the most vulnerable among them?
579. 44:33I'm not talking about some demented twisted notion
580. 44:35of partiality, but if we're gonna have a culture of life,
581. 44:39we need to have a culture of life
582. 44:40that's the product of thinking deliberately
583. 44:42and praying through these issues, sickening me.
584. 44:57It's funny, not because it's hilarious,
585. 45:00but with all of the fraud,
586. 45:04you have stories coming out that are talking about
587. 45:07the benefits paid through the Social Security Administration,
588. 45:09where you have people who have long since passed away,
589. 45:13but they're still collecting social security benefits.
590. 45:19Who is receiving those payments?
591. 45:26Guys, there's so much that there's so much
592. 45:31that needs to be done.
593. 45:32And I know when you hear these things,
594. 45:34and I feel it too, it can feel,
595. 45:36oh man, this is so big, where do we start?
596. 45:44By putting one foot in front of the other.
597. 45:51Start right where you live.
598. 45:53I know all kinds of things that have transpired.
599. 45:55People say, well, you know what I hear what you're saying now?
600. 45:58I've made these mistakes and I passed this.
601. 45:59And having made mistakes in the past,
602. 46:01don't disqualify you from walking up rightly now.
603. 46:05And I was talking to the person one time saying,
604. 46:07man, listen, I'm trying to appeal to my child
605. 46:09not to make the same mistakes I made,
606. 46:11but I feel like I'm disqualified from offering the council
607. 46:14that I know to be true because my own life undermines.
608. 46:18And I'm saying, no, it doesn't.
609. 46:20It does not.
610. 46:21God's truth, the truth is true, regardless of past errors or not.
611. 46:30And you communicate the truth because it's true.
612. 46:41We need two parent families, a mom and a dad,
613. 46:43not a parent with many random partners
614. 46:45who's all taking multitudes with kids.
615. 46:46Guys, this is, this is, like I said,
616. 46:50Elon Musk is outpacing Nick Cannon.
617. 46:55I know lots of you guys jokes about Nick Cannon
618. 46:58and his baby mama's.
619. 47:02And this is not about comparison to one another, but children need more than financial support.
620. 47:18Fathering is more than just providing financial support.
621. 47:26And coming back to the point I was making about if you've made mistakes and someone is trying
622. 47:32to disqualify you from communicating the truth because of mistakes that you've made, one of
623. 47:37the major sources of evidence of the truth is your communication of what it's like on
624. 47:44the other side. You know, the Apostle Paul wrote in his epistle to Timothy. You know, I
625. 47:49know one of the major reasons why God saved me is to show that there's nobody that's beyond
626. 47:56God's grace. There's nobody that's beyond God's grace. Past mistakes don't disqualify
627. 48:14you for living the truth, contending for the truth and conveying the truth now. It doesn't.
628. 48:24Does not in many ways and you heard of the logical fallacy at hominem attack when someone attempts to to refute
629. 48:33What you're saying by not contending with the notion that you're conveying but trying to make it about you personally?
630. 48:38That's an ad hominem attack
631. 48:43Okay, you're saying this about me, but what about what I just said to you?
632. 48:46What about the substance of what I presented to you is this true or not?
633. 48:49And I've been saying that we need to live locally. We need to do what we need to do guys
634. 48:58we have to. We have to. With the grace that God has given us this reprieve that we have,
635. 49:04we have to make adjustments. What are we going to do differently? What are we going to do differently?
