0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
0:06This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
0:11It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
0:15Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
0:18And the philosophies of this world.
0:20God has called you and me to be his ambassador.
0:24Even in this dark moment.
0:26Let's not miss our moment.
0:28And now, the Hamilton Corner.
0:33Good evening, everyone.
0:34Welcome to the Hamilton Corner.
0:36Abraham Hamilton III is my name.
0:38I'm the host of this program.
0:40I am joined by the corner contender right across from me,
0:43my man, 100 grand, Mr. Bobby.
0:45and no, he was not included in the signal texting group.
0:51And in the screening room, we have produced extraordinaire often imitated, never duplicated.
0:59The real Jay Mac, ladies and gentlemen, he is joined by our friendly recovering, perpetually
1:06recovering neighborhood, woulda, Hollick.
1:07Mr. Marty Sparks, and we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program
1:13at this very moment, many of you, if not most of you are making your transition from your
1:18part-time jobs where you generate an income to your full-time jobs where you cultivate
1:22an outcome.
1:23And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality, understanding the
1:29primacy that God places on family, allowing the reality of what our Lord has conveyed
1:37and recorded for our benefit to inform our engagement.
1:41And as a result of that, aligning ourselves with God's holy word and understanding that
1:49significance and that primacy.
1:51We will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, out church, out politic, out vote deficiencies
2:02that abound in the home.
2:04In fact, I'm going to, we want to open the phone lines later on in the program, the last
2:08But I want to ask a question while things are swirling all around us.
2:13Basically, it's a twofold question.
2:16How do you perceive things currently in terms of the state of affairs in our nation?
2:22And then secondarily, what is the most important thing?
2:25The most important thing we as a nation should secure, should pursue right now.
2:31That is what I want to know from you as we get further on in the program.
2:35but right now, we're going to do what we always do on this show.
2:40Begin the program by turning to the Word of God.
2:44It is
2:46Indispensibly necessary for us to recognize that we should not expect
2:52to navigate this life well if we place our place,
2:56the Word of God on the proverbial shelf.
2:58But far are too many of us,
3:01but far too long in our nation,
3:03the Bible has been regarded as an accessory.
3:07as opposed to a necessity.
3:09We must, we must, we must recognize and seek to implement
3:17what the scriptures require of us.
3:18Very, very, very simply.
3:21And regardless of where you may be,
3:24I have conversations often with people who would take
3:28Umbridge, who would have an objection to me
3:32and to say, well, we can pursue morality
3:36without adhering to the Word of God.
3:37And I'll simply say, okay, based on what standard?
3:42Well, you know, it would be based on what we come to
3:45as a consensus for the values of a civilized people.
3:49Okay, well, where does the foundation for that consensus?
3:54You know, I'm not Captain America,
3:56but we can do this all day.
3:58You know, because ultimately foundational truths
4:03require a foundation.
4:05Ultimately, civilizational consensus has to be based upon
4:09something and if it's solely based upon humanistic preference,
4:14then what would be the binding and enduring agent
4:18that would keep us as a society
4:23from changing our humanistic preferences?
4:27See the old, the age old contention will be God's word
4:31or man's word, which one will prevail?
4:35God's word or man's word,
4:36you can't, it is an inescapable reality.
4:40And so whoever you may be, you know,
4:42there are many people who would even profess to be atheist,
4:45but they like to borrow from a biblical worldview.
4:48People that would purport notions of justice,
4:50where do you get those ideas from?
4:53They don't come from a world of view that says,
4:55might makes right.
4:58So from where do they hail?
5:04Which is why we turn to the word of God
5:07to provide the foundation for all things that we do
5:10in this program.
5:10And frankly, the scripture that we're going to delve
5:12into tells you even better than I could ever tell you why
5:16it's important to do that.
5:16Second Peter chapter one.
5:19Second Peter chapter one versus one through three.
5:212 Peter chapter 1, verses 1 through 3 is where we are going to go today.
5:30And this is what the Word of God says.
5:34Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received a faith
5:42of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ, grace
5:50and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
5:57Seeing that his divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and
6:07godliness through the true knowledge of him who has called us by his own glory and excellence.
6:19One of the first things I want you to see, and this is something that is common in
6:23in Peter's writings, you'll see this in the Apostle Paul's writings as well.
6:28You'll see this in the Apostles of Christ, those who lived and had the first hand encounter
6:40with Messiah.
6:42You'll see this consistently.
6:46Simon describes himself first and foremost before he gets to get anything else as a doolos,
6:50a bond servant of Jesus Christ.
6:54This is first communication, a doulos of Jesus Christ.
7:02Then he addresses his audience to those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours.
7:08This is again an epistle, that's the genre of literature this is in.
7:12This is one of the sources that I always encourage big chunk readings.
7:16The word Epistle is just a fancy word that means letter, it's a letter that the spirit
7:20got moved, the apostle Peter to write.
7:24So this is one that should be consumed in one sitting, if possible, or I won't say a possible,
7:29we can, we can do whatever we determine this priority for us to do.
7:37But after identifying himself as a do-loce and then turning to address his audience to
7:41those who have received the faith of the same kind as ours, this is what I was describing
7:47when I said this is something that is consistent throughout Peter's writings, that he always
7:53Endevered to communicate to the recipients of his writings that the faith that they had was exact same faith
8:01the same quality the same kind as his own
8:05The apostle peter did not attempt to exalt himself
8:09Above the other members of the body of christ but identified himself and articulated to the recipients of his epistle
8:17That the faith that you have is the same faith that I have
8:20We are all in the same family of God.
8:22We are all in the same boat.
8:26This is one of the key distinctions between those who endeavor to be servants of the Lord
8:30God.
8:31As they endeavor to make disciples, they endeavor to cultivate disciples of Christ Jesus and not
8:36clones or mini-meas of themselves.
8:40One of the major distinctions between those who are our solid, godly disciple makers
8:47is that they consistently point people to Jesus,
8:52as opposed to pointing people to themselves.
8:56They consistently direct people to Messiah,
9:00as opposed to directing people to themselves.
9:05This is a vitally important and significant recognition
9:13that the Lord gives us in His word.
9:16Peter affirms to the people who will receive his epistle, which applies to all believers in the body of Christ,
9:23that the faith that he has is of the same sort of as yours.
9:30For those who receive the faith of the same kind as ours, then he goes on to explain by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ.
9:42Affirmative fact of salvation is not a factor of feature of works in which any man should boast, but it is a free gift of God.
9:50It is a gift of God, but we should never conflict the
9:54freeness of this gift with a cheapening of the gift of salvation.
10:00And Peter says something that's amazing grace and peace be
10:05multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
10:11And this exact same epistle and we won't get to it today.
10:14But if you continue reading versus four through nine, Peter goes on
10:22to explain that faith is not the penultimate object in and of itself, but it's a mechanism.
10:27It's a vehicle in that our faith must be supplemented, must be bolstered, not as a risk,
10:33not in effort to secure justification, not in effort to make ourselves please in a God
10:39to where we earn our salvation.
10:40No, the supplementing of our faith happens for those of us who are already born again,
10:45who are already regenerative.
10:47Remember, Peter is addressing people who are already believers.
10:52it is to the believers, Peter says, made the grace of our Lord and peace of our Lord be
10:58multiplied to you in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. What is this communicating? That now
11:05that we are in Christ, we should seek to abound in Him. We should seek to increase in Him. The
11:12verses I alluded to, verses 4 through 9, talked about various qualities and characteristics
11:17that if there are hours and there abounding and they're increasing, they fortify us against
11:22being buried and unproductive in our knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
11:26The unfortunate reality is because of sadly the deficiency and understanding
11:33discipleship and the mandate for discipleship, we have lots of people who have had,
11:39and I should say suffered an arresting of the development in Christ.
11:45So we have a protecting of spiritual adolescence to which the Hebrew writer
11:49says at the time that you should be able to help others, you have need to be
11:52taught again the basic principles of the faith.
11:54that it is available to us to have a multiplication of peace and our knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ that is a product of those who are hungering and thirsting after Him.
12:12Jesus is recorded in Matthew's Gospel that a major, major, major promise of Christ Jesus is that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness shall be filled.
12:27That's a promise, man.
12:29That's a promise.
12:30The text goes on, seeing, verse 3,
12:35Seeing that is divine power
12:40Has granted to us everything
12:46pertaining to life and
12:49godliness through the true
12:51knowledge of him who has called
12:52us by his own glory and excellence.
12:54Rather than simply simply put,
12:56the word of God must be
12:58our continued enduring
13:01and ultimate authority
13:03for all manner of life, doctrine, and practice.
13:12Does God's Word has something to say to us
13:16about identity, you better believe it.
13:18Does God's Word have anything to say to us?
13:24Our sexuality, you better believe it.
13:25Does God's Word have wisdom for us,
13:27for financial management, for relationship engagement?
13:31And I'm not talking about romantic relationships,
13:32but it includes that too.
13:34The Word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword,
13:38in any two-edged sword.
13:42And this is something that we have not secured for ourselves.
13:45This is something that his divine power has made
13:47available to us.
13:52That in him, we have all that we need for life and godliness.
13:57Now, I don't want anybody to misconstry what I'm saying.
13:59It is because we are in him,
14:01that we as the scripture says, supplement our faith
14:03with knowledge and supplement our faith
14:05with brotherly love and with kindness.
14:10It is because we're in Christ,
14:13that the reality of life on this side of eternity
14:16It has outside significance, has outside meaning.
14:21It transforms everything about us.
14:24There's a reason why brothers and sisters.
14:27Christ followers historically, I'm talking about it
14:29in human history, have led the way in the sciences,
14:32have led the way in philosophic development,
14:35have led the way in artistic development,
14:37have led the way across the board
14:42because the light of Christ illuminates everything
14:45about us as mankind.
14:49The divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness.
14:55Through the knowledge of him was called us by his own glory and excellence.
15:00A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
15:041 Samuel 17 verses 50 and 51.
15:08So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone.
15:12Instruct the Philistine and killed him.
15:15There was no sword in the hand of David.
15:17When David ran and stood over the Philistine and took his sword and drew it out of his
15:22sheath and killed him and cut off his head with it.
15:25When the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they bled.
15:29Every disciple of Jesus Christ would be wise to strive to become a kingdom warrior.
15:35I would define a kingdom warrior as a disciple of Christ who wisely and skillfully puts the
15:40word of God, the sword of the spirit to work every day.
15:44All people everywhere are facing intense spiritual warfare,
15:48facing at home, at school, at work, in public, every day.
15:54We see it in the news, in our government, in our culture,
15:56and all across the world.
16:05Shiting light into the darkness,
16:07this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
16:11Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton,
16:13the third here.
16:15Man, this is gonna be a very, very busy year.
16:17Let me share an event with you that's coming up in May, May 22nd through the 24th.
16:24The corner team is hitting the road again.
16:26We will be in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where we will broadcast live from the North
16:32Carolina, sorry, North Carolinians for home educations, Thrive Conference.
16:38It'll be, as I mentioned, May 22nd through the 24th at the Benton Convention Center in
16:43Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
16:45You simply go to NCHE, that's the acronym for North Carolinians for Home Education, NCHE.com
16:51to register.
16:53I was told I can invite all of you to come.
16:55It's going to be an amazing time to where we're really going to talk about the blessing,
17:01the privilege, the opportunity to make disciples starting right in our own homes.
17:06And I will be actually speaking multiple times during this conference.
17:11And I'm greatly, greatly looking forward to it.
17:13We definitely want to tune in because we'll have a busy travel schedule this year and it's
17:19ramping up.
17:20It's already started, frankly, but some of the things we've been in haven't been necessarily
17:25public events, but this is an event where the public is invited to come.
17:31That is in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, made 22nd through the 24th, 2025.
17:38your calendars. I'll be providing more information to you and to everyone really on this front
17:46going forward. And as well as everywhere else will be everywhere else will be throughout
17:52this year. All right. Oh boy. The announcements keep coming. And my response has been who don't
18:02threaten me with a good time. Don't threaten me with a good time. What am I talking about?
18:08the Trump administration and this is being reported by the Wall Street Journal, they broke
18:12the story first. The Trump administration is planning to freeze what's described as family
18:20planning grants. That's right. Family planning grants, these family planning grants largely
18:28are what has been popularly discussed as Title 10 funding. Well, why is this important? Why am I
18:34saying don't turn me with a good time. Well, simply because
18:42title 10 is one of the mechanisms that one of the most
18:46egregious and immoral organizations ever created in the
18:50history of the world gets access to federal tax payer dollars.
18:54What I'm talking about the eugenicist outfit that was started
19:00under Margaret Sanger who sought to utilize every tool that
19:05disposal to eliminate what she described as human weeds that included black people that included
19:11the infirm that included, you know, all kinds of people she deemed was unfit for reproduction.
19:19That is why to this day, the overwhelming majority of Planned Parenthood murdering
19:25facilities, you can't really call them clinics, they're in inner city neighborhoods. That was
19:32by design. That was a part of their strategy because they needed to have quick access to the people they
19:37wanted to kill. Well, something that I have long advocated for, I've been alone many people who are
19:45advocates for the sanctity of human life, for the establishment, the cultivation and development
19:48of a culture of life. We've long said that there's no reason why my hard-earned money that I work for
19:56and I contribute to the federal coffers as a taxpayer, it should not be used to murder unborn
20:03children innocent unborn children. But that is in fact what has transpired. You know,
20:09many of you know the numbers from 2019 to 2021 Planned Parenthood killed over 100,
20:14I'm sorry, over a million 1.1 million babies. And that's in surgical abortions. That's not
20:19including chemical abortions. All right. Over that same time period, 2019 and 2021,
20:27Planned Parenthood received nearly $2 billion in federal funding, nearly $2 billion in federal
20:33funding for an average for an average of almost 600 million dollars a year, which represents
20:40over 40% of the annual revenue.
20:42Now, I know many of you because you know, you pay attention to these things.
20:49You are aware of it.
20:50There are lots of other people who don't realize that.
20:52Like, wait a minute, if Planned Parenthood is so wonderful, why can't they survive without
20:58taxpayer money?
20:59And again, you know, let's just let's just talk Turkey for a moment.
21:08I checked according to our Declaration of Independence that governments derived the just
21:12powers from the consent of the governed.
21:14How many of you have consented for your money to be used to go to plan murder?
21:18I mean, our money, frankly, frankly, our money is being used for all kinds of evil all over
21:27the world.
21:30Do you get much more evil than using taxpayer dollars to murder innocent children?
21:36Oh, yeah, that's right.
21:38Abraham Planned Parenthood does not use tax money to murder babies.
21:43They use tax money for everything else that allows them to murder babies. I mean
21:51Right do we do we do we need to do the hamburger and a bun again?
21:54Do we need to do that?
21:56Money is fungible everybody understands that money is fungible. It's just insane and when you look at these numbers
22:02I mean
22:04According to the government accountability office
22:07I am paranoid gets money through a through a cadre of means including Medicare Medicaid and chip
22:13reimbursements. And I want to be clear about what the Trump administration is
22:18announcing. They're announcing their plans to freeze funding. Notice I didn't say
22:26eliminated immediately. To freeze funding. Why? To freeze the funding to determine and
22:33to ensure that money is being expended in a manner that is consistent with the
22:39federal law and that complies with the president's executive orders, including
22:43those that he signed recently.
22:49That's well within his parameters.
22:51I know some people that are discussing, well, it doesn't require legislation, not to freeze,
22:59or to make it even more plain to let the doge out to determine whether or not the money
23:11is being expended consistent with appropriate law.
23:20I'd also add that that often federal grants are used for I see over there.
23:28International purposes, exporting this wickedness to foreign shores.
23:33Now, it is the Wall Street Journal broke the story that President Trump was considering
23:40an executive order detailing his plans to dismantle the Department of Education.
23:47That happened.
23:48Did it not?
23:49He signed that executive order.
23:50Well, then you have the articulation of these plans to freeze funding federal funding for family grants
23:59Family planning grants I should say
24:03And that is something that didn't have to tell you plainly
24:07That I'm excited about I'm excited about it
24:13Looking forward to it looking forward to these things happening
24:16And you know one of the major things that that's going to come out from all of this
24:19You know all of the previous Republican
24:22administrations that talked a good game on these things, but didn't follow through on it,
24:28they're going to look really silly, you know, that it was Trump that appointed the Supreme Court
24:35justices that overturned Roe versus Wade. And if it pans out, it turns out that it is Trump
24:41who operated in such a manner to dislodge our hard-earned tax money from the clutches
24:50of a satanic organization like Planned Parenthood. And I know people might get upset.
24:55I don't care. It's a satanic organization.
24:58Do your own research, study Marcus Sanger's history for eugenics,
25:01study how frankly the Nazis learned a eugenics program from the American eugenic
25:06look it up to wicked organization.
25:13It's an evil satanic organization.
25:16And the really shouldn't take us to study history.
25:18If you have any organization that commit themselves to dismembering innocent
25:22babies, that tells you a lot about what you need to know concerning that organization.
25:29All right.
25:30So be on the lookout for that.
25:31I would be on the lookout for that.
25:32And in addition to simply being on the lookout for it,
25:35but I'll be praying for it, not only for the executive action,
25:41but for our nation, that we would have a conviction about us
25:46concerning human life.
25:49You could debate a whole lot of policies,
25:51but really a lot of policy don't matter if you did.
25:57And it is a foundational determination
26:01as to what type of society we have been
26:03and what we will be going forward.
26:07All right, I'm going to turn a bit to, and this is a story that really broke.
26:14I wanted to get all of my details together before I brought it to you.
26:19And y'all know I'm an equal opportunity to tell her, I'll say when we got it right.
26:24And I'll say when folks have gotten it wrong.
26:27I've been a supporter of much of what the Trump administration has done to date.
26:34This is an unforced error, what I'm about to talk about here.
26:37Well, a story was published yesterday in the Atlantic by, I can't even really call this,
26:45I mean, I guess he's a journalist.
26:47I know I can't really call him a journalist because of the lies.
26:50He's so fancifully and eagerly spouted in times past under the guise of journalism.
26:55But Jeffrey Goldberg, who was the editor-in-chief of at the Atlantic, but it was interesting,
27:02the simple fact that he published his story as an op-ed, an opinion piece is what it is,
27:06supposed to a news story gives an indication that he knows when I really breaking news here.
27:12But Jeffrey Goldberg broke a story to where he was added to a private texting group that
27:20included the top officials in the Trump administration, including Defense Secretary, Pete
27:25Headset, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Vice President JD Vance, Director of National
27:33intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, you know, Steven Miller, really the top of the upper echelon
27:39of the Trump administration. And they were discussing through a text group on the encrypted
27:48app called Signal. All right. And they were discussing the plan concerning the Houthis
27:58in Yemen. And ultimately, you know, a lot of people may know some may not know that we
28:04We bombed the Houthis because they had been doing what terrorists do, the Iranian-backed
28:10terrorists, Houthi, they had been really acting as pirates.
28:14And this isn't new for the Houthis because you may recall that we have this military outfit
28:20called the US Navy.
28:21Does anybody remember why the US Navy was formed?
28:24Well, that's right.
28:25To stop the Barbary pirates from attacking US merchant vessels.
28:34To which Thomas Jefferson asked, well, why are you guys attacking us?
28:36We haven't done anything to you.
28:37And I said, well, you're not Mohammedans.
28:42Y'all ain't Muslims.
28:43So we supposed to attack you.
28:44That's literally, so the US Navy was literally created
28:48to thwart terrorism on the high seas.
28:52This is just a fact.
28:56So unsurprisingly, terrorists and Yemen
29:00are continue to try to do terrorist activities.
29:02And they were really strangling trade in the region
29:05through merchant vessels.
29:08The thing that is problematic, however, is that this journalist at the Atlantic, Jeffrey
29:16Goldberg, was invited to join the chat group.
29:21So you have a text chat group with the upper echelon of the Trump administration, and they
29:29also included a journalist.
29:32These are just facts.
29:35And they're discussing all of the, well, I will say all of it.
29:38they're discussing the reality of the possibility of bombing the Houthis. Some of the how that
29:47was going to happen. And Pete Higgs even said, Oh, in two hours from now, the bombs is dropping,
29:58right? Now, I know a lot of people trying to spin it. I don't, I don't care what you
30:04say you can't spin this. This is just an unforced error. Now, the reality is you had
30:09Mike Walts, one of the Trump administration officials, who added JG, Jeff Goldberg, was
30:19seemingly attempting to add another Trump administration whose official, whose initials
30:23are JG.
30:24Just, just a, just a mistake.
30:26That's what it was.
30:30Yet it happened.
30:35And several things have come out from it, but I want to let you hear Defense Secretary
30:39repeat hegseth respond to a reporter's question about, and what happened when you guys added
30:45Jeffrey Goldberg to the, to the text chat about, about the Houthis. Listen to and watch clip
30:55number two, clip two, go.
30:56Can you share how you, so I'm talking about a deceitful and highly discredited so-called
31:16journalist who's made a profession of pedaling hopes this time and time again to include the,
31:22I don't know, the hopes is that Russia, Russia, Russia or the fine people on both sides hopes or
31:29suckers and losers hopes. So this is the guy that pedals in garbage. This is what he does.
31:35I would love to comment on the Hootty campaign because of the skill and courage of our troops.
31:41I've monitored it very closely from the beginning.
31:44And you see, you've been managing four years of deferred maintenance under the Trump administration.
31:49Our troops, our sailors were getting shot at it as targets.
31:53Our ships couldn't sail through.
31:55And when they did shoot back it was purely defensively or at shacks in Yemen.
31:59President Trump said, no more.
32:02We will reestablish deterrence.
32:04We will open freedom of navigation.
32:07And we will ultimately decimate the Houthis.
32:10which is exactly what we're doing as we speak
32:12from the beginning, overwhelmingly.
32:15Why were those details shared on a signal
32:17and how did you learn that a journalist was privy to
32:20the targets, the types of weapons used by me?
32:23I've heard I was characterized, nobody was texting
32:27war plans and that's all I have to say about that.
32:29Thank you.
32:33So that was his response to it.
32:34I'm gonna dig into that a little bit,
32:37but the bottom line is that's an unfortunate error.
32:40I don't care how you're trying to spin it.
32:42But I think the Trump administration did a good job
32:45of making sure that this doesn't grow legs
32:47and become something more outsized in the fact
32:49that somebody simply just made a mistake.
32:51And so what do we do going forward from this point?
33:00The feature-linked documentary culture warrior Don Wildman
33:03in the battle for decency,
33:05premiering November 11th, chronicles the life
33:07and ministry of Don Wildman.
33:09It takes you through the founding
33:11of the National Federation for Decency,
33:13what has become AFA.
33:15It's a call to stand firm for righteousness and shows how that resolve can make a huge difference
33:20in our world.
33:21If we lose this cultural war, we're going to have a hedonistic humanistic society.

33:30The Middle East, that's one part of the world we need to pay attention to, especially the
33:34country of Israel.
33:35Each week, I hope you make sense of what's happening in that region through a biblical
33:39lens.
33:40I'll bring you important information about security threats, archaeological discoveries,
33:43Bible prophecy, ministry is happening on the ground and much more.
33:47I'm John Riley.

33:50Every Saturday at 6 30 p.m. Central on American Family Radio, as I connect you to the people,
33:56places, and geography of what we read in God's word.
34:00The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-mitted Common Terrors are available at efrd.net.
34:11Back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
34:14Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here. Let me tell you, we're
34:19going to open the phone lines this segment. The number to call is 888-589-8840. That number
34:26again is 888-589-8840. Questions? The two questions that I'd like you to answer. Or I guess a
34:38two part question, the first part. How do you feel about the country's direction now that we are
34:46firmly within the Trump administration.
34:51All right.
34:52Second question, what is the most important thing?
34:54Number one, not the top two, not the top three.
34:57What is the most important thing we need to pursue in your estimation for our nation
35:04at this juncture?
35:05That's what I'd like to hear from you.
35:07888-589-8840 is the number.
35:09The number again is 888-589-8840.
35:11Now, getting back to Pete Hagg-Seth and really the Trump administration, you could try to
35:17that's been it if you want, but that was just as an
35:19unforced error, you know, it's an unforced error. I think you
35:24probably see the elimination of tech of signal usage, what these
35:29types of communications, there will be some adjustments made. But
35:33that that that is an unforced error. Thankfully, it did not
35:36result in a compromise of the of any of our troops in the
35:44Yemen, excursion, thankfully.
35:49That is an unforced error.
35:52You know, I think they're legitimate questions as to why Jeff Goldberg stayed in the chat as
35:58long as he did and the way that it worked is that he was sent an invitation to join signal
36:05and to join the text group and he joined it.
36:10And when he realized that this is what he said now, I don't know if this is true, this
36:14is what he put in his article.
36:16And he realized he was actually a legitimate official communication that he finally exited,
36:24but not before he could write a story, of course.
36:27And so I think the Trump administration has handled it very well the fallout of the era.
36:31One, they hadn't hit run from it.
36:33They said it, yeah, that was a legitimate conversation.
36:36But then the second thing they did, which I think is also pretty wise to do, is to highlight
36:41the, say it this way, the type of writings that Jeffrey Goldberg likes has written in the
36:46past to simply bring to the fore, what would you, dear American citizen think Mr. Goldberg's
36:54motivation would be in staying in the group and writing this piece in light of what he's
37:00done in the past. I think it's a wise way to do so. And so you keep, I think they've
37:04been very effective in keeping clear evidence of an era from expanding, metastasizing into
37:12something bigger, because the reality is most of the American people will move on from
37:21the story tomorrow. Had however, the Trump administration tried to hide from it, try to
37:29obfuscate, try to lie about it, to not acknowledge the mistake, then I think the story would become
37:35bigger than it then would have become bigger than it is. But having confronted it the way
37:44have they have thus far. And I think there's some some technical qualification going on
37:49because a press secretary of levity said there was no classified information exchange in
37:54in the chat class of out of now,
37:57if you have the defense secretary saying two hours from now,
38:00the bombs are falling,
38:01and then two hours from then the bombs are falling.
38:03I think that's pretty official communication.
38:05But again, thankfully, none of our troops
38:07were compromised as a result of this.
38:11And so I think the way the Trump administration
38:12handled the fallout from the era
38:14is something that was effective in enabling them
38:16to keep the mistake from becoming something bigger
38:18than it should have been.
38:20All right, to the phone lines, we'll go, we'll start in Texas.
38:24And of course, y'all know I got all kind of other stuff
38:26that I was planning to get to.
38:30Hadn't been able to get to yet,
38:31but we'll go to the phone lines.
38:32We'll start in Texas where Jerry is on the line.
38:34Jerry, thank you for calling the Hamilton Corner.
38:36Welcome to the program.
38:38Thank you brother.
38:39Always a pleasure to love listening to you.
38:41Wanted to call in yesterday.
38:43I think first, I'm retired Navy,
38:47so I'm gonna use some vernacular here.
38:49We're kind of getting the ship turned back on course
38:52a little bit.
38:53We started to write it, but we're not there yet.
38:55I think that overall after reading George Barna's book and a few of these others Christians
39:01true believers in fellowship and relationship with Jesus Christ have some backbone to stiffen and start standing up straight and
39:11Pronouncing the truth however bad it goes against the grain
39:15And I think that from a homeschooler to a private school parent that the fact of the matter is is that for
39:23Christians when we talk to other people outside even in our community as brother and
39:28sister we need to get the term public school out of our mouth and government school needs
39:34to replace it because nobody can publicly walk into any school in this country.
39:38I'm going to let you go and comment brother.
39:41Pleasure as always.
39:42Terry, thank you for your call and your commentary.
39:43I mean the necessity of having a backbone as a believer really is intrinsic to Christ
39:51following me the scripture says the righteous are as bold as lions, you know, and so we have to
39:58have the wherewithal to stand and do what's necessary and that's not to say we're all human
40:06beings so we're all in face situations like this one is tough but courage is not the absence
40:14of concern it's a refusal to adjust our conduct in light of the concern.
40:19Back to the phone lines we'll go next to Iowa where Marty is on the line.
40:22Marty, thank you for calling the Hamilton Corner.
40:25Welcome to the program.
40:27Hey, man.
40:28What a privilege.
40:29What an honor.
40:30Yeah, I think it's just an absolute blast
40:34what we're going through.
40:36It is amazing to see this cabinet working together hand
40:41in hand and still having many of the liberal left.
40:45It's just freaking out.
40:47I pray for those poor people.
40:50I think a Chuck Schumer, my heart just breaks
40:53when I hear his voice, but I still, the second thing I think our number one priority still
41:01is the life issue that we have as Americans allowed millions die and it's mostly due to
41:14education where we have not taught, we believe lies like the word fetus thinking it's some
41:21fancy big word when it only means baby in the womb in another language.
41:27And we believe these lies in the repentance word God says, if my people who were called
41:36by my name will humble themselves, turn from their wicked ways.
41:47Then will I hear from heaven and I will heal your land.
41:54Thank you, Todd. Wow. Thank you so much for your concern for the innocent unborn babies.
41:59That's not just your concern. That's God's heart. And you said, you lamented the millions
42:05of children have been murdered in America. And I just have to say very soberly, the slaughter
42:11continues guys. It's not, it simply has changed from the majority happening via surgical abortions.
42:17And what I mean, surgical abortion, I'm talking about DNA abortions, dismembering
42:21babies later on in the gestational developmental stages, but now the majority of babies that
42:30are being murdered are being murdered chemically through these pills.
42:37So it is vitally important that we continue to contend to establish a culture to where
42:43murdering unborn children is an unthinkable phenomenon.
42:48Back to the phone lines, we'll go next to Arkansas where Todd is on the line.
42:51Todd, thank you for calling the Hamilton Corner. Welcome to the program.
42:56Abraham, I want to give you, you asked for the most important thing. I want to give you my top
43:01three right off the bat real quick. Number three is we need to get our military straightened out
43:10and built back up so that we're a strong presence in the world and we can hold our own and protect
43:16ourselves and those that can't. Number two, we need to get God back in the country. That
43:27is number one, really, but not everybody's going to do it. So we need to get as much as
43:33we can get Christians back involved in government. And number one is we need to let Eli must
43:41go through and eliminate a lot of the government, make this a smaller government, make this a
43:48more efficient government and make it a government providing and acting for the people not for
43:55all these politicians that are filling the pockets.
43:58Thank you, Todd, for your call in your comments. Now I was gracious to you, Todd. I say you
44:01top one you gave us three. Don't think I missed that, Todd. Thank you for calling, brother.
44:09Back to the phone lines. We go next to Kentucky where Greg is on the line. Greg, thank you
44:13for calling the Hamilton Corner. Welcome to the program.
44:17Abraham you are on target as always I love you brother I appreciate you using
44:22your intellect and your passion for the kingdom amen thank you for those kind
44:28words so you're so welcome there are well there's much to do I am pleased with the
44:34way we're going and especially on the heels of the news that you broke the
44:40story about the defunding the abortion mills how do you I just I literally let out a
44:47yell when I heard that. That's such good news. Number one priority, I think that Congress
44:55needs to rein in the district judges because it's going to continue to be law fair regardless
45:02of what President Trump tries to accomplish. Things are going to be bottled up, they're
45:08going to be slowed down in the court, and that needs to be our priority. So the rest of things
45:14Like the Planned Parenthood defunding can go through because I don't know how soon that's going to get to court, but I imagine it's going to be great next
45:22speed. And brother, I really appreciate your legal analysis too. It helps to lay them like myself better understand what's going on. So that's all I got for you, brother. I love you. Thank you for your ministry.
45:36Oh, thank you, Greg, for your call and your comments. So many different things. And one of the major reasons why I wanted to do this because I wanted our audience to see
45:44the wide swath of things that our fellow citizens recognize
45:50as high priorities to be pursued.
45:53And when we talk about the necessity of God
45:56being back in our country,
45:58that includes proclaiming the gospel and making disciples.
46:02You had this, just as an indication of how far a field
46:05our society has gone, did you all see the story
46:08to where DoorDash now is making it available
46:11for you to put your burrito on a payment plan.
46:15You can get your nachos on layaway now.
46:18Y'all think I'm joking.
46:19I'm not getting that all.
46:20DoorDash is into the financial partnership
46:23with a company called Klarna
46:25to where you can now use installment payments.
46:28You can finance your dashing for the door.
46:30Listen to you and watch this clip.
46:32Clip number three, go.
46:33So, what Klarna has a new partnership with DoorDash.
46:35It was just announced.
46:37Klarna is one of those big buy now pay later services
46:40where you can choose to buy something,
46:43and then you can split that up into payments
46:45or sort of push that payment off.
46:47And so this partnership with DoorDash,
46:49you're gonna see, when you open up the DoorDash app
46:51and you order something from your local pizza shop,
46:54you want it delivered, there's gonna be an option
46:56to buy now, pay later with Klarna.
46:58You can either fully pay,
46:59you can break it up into four installments
47:02that are interest-free, or you can pay later.
47:04This is really interesting.
47:05I mean, Klarna has announced that it is going to go public
47:08on the New York Stock Exchange.
47:09This is the first, or the second big partnership.
47:12They're also doing one with Walmart,
47:13that they've announced in a couple of weeks.
47:15The thing that gives me a little bit of anxiety read though,
47:18is we've seen these buy now, pay later things,
47:20get very popular with large clothing orders,
47:24but buy now, pay later for food.
47:26At some point, you are going to have to pay
47:29that balance that you have.
47:30And I was actually talking with an analyst
47:32about this earlier today, and he said,
47:34you know, this could be a recession indicator.
47:36people are putting more balances on their credit cards
47:39and as you start to see people do that
47:41with things like food and necessities like that,
47:44that's a little bit of a warning sign.
47:46Dad!
47:48Ha ha ha!
47:49I wanted you to hit that last little part,
47:51just so y'all far people will reach.
47:53You know, but look, I have a,
47:55I have an extreme idea for you.
47:58Here you go.
48:00If you can't afford your burrito,
48:05if you gotta have,
48:07if you wanna have Taco Tuesday,
48:09but you want to pay for it next Wednesday,
48:11you probably don't need a taco.
48:14Guys, this is insane.
48:16Why are you crazy?
48:18I was glad to play you on Saturday
48:21for the hand boigah that I have today.
48:25I'm presenting that to you guys
48:27to show you the level of insanity.
48:31Now we can understand that as it applies to DoorDash,
48:33but can somebody email Congress
48:37and let them know the same logic applies to you?
48:41Guys, this is crazy.
48:44And I understand DoorDash is expanding their offerings, right?
48:46It's more than just your pull-boy sandwich.
48:51But if you can't afford your taco supreme,
48:56you probably should wait until you can.
48:59Now, look, I'm gonna order my handboigler today,
49:05and then I'm gonna cash-app you to money next week,
49:08Tuesday, and give me a couple more weeks,
49:12then I'll pay interest on that burger,
49:15Because I'm loving it.
49:22Guys, that's insane.
49:24Continue to pray for our country.
49:26By God's grace, putting one foot in front of the other,
49:27we will move in the direction that God has ordained for us.
49:29Y'all have a wonderful evening.
