Tuesday was a mixed bag of electoral results that further demonstrate the need to “live locally.”

1. 0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
2. 0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
3. 0:06This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
4. 0:11It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
5. 0:15Delivering people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
6. 0:18And the philosophies of this world.
7. 0:20God has called you and me to be His ambassador.
8. 0:24Even in this dark moment.
9. 0:26Let's not miss our moment.
10. 0:28And now the Hamilton Corner.
11. 0:31Good evening, everyone.
12. 0:34Welcome to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third.
13. 0:37Here I am the your host for this program.
14. 0:42Thank you for joining us this evening.
15. 0:44I am joined by the corner contingent right across from me,
16. 0:46my man, 100 grand, Mr. Bobby.
17. 0:48R-R-Rosa.
18. 0:50We were discussing too terror for not too terror,
19. 0:53if that is the question before we came on the air.
20. 0:57Having a spirited discussion about that is interesting to see how nations are already beginning to respond
21. 1:04This is something that I would encourage our audience here to have a long-term vision on not just react
22. 1:11to the immediate things because this is what I say to Bobby before coming on the air we
23. 1:17witnessed
24. 1:18the
25. 1:20Exportation of the most most robust manufacturing sector in the world
26. 1:24world, would it away over time? And frankly, it's immoral to have allowed that to happen
27. 1:30and to get right down to it. We've had people in positions of authority that have been willing
28. 1:34to sell out the American people for a book. It's about online. They'll get paid with no
29. 1:41concern whatsoever. But what would happen to what we have now deemed a rust belt to allow
30. 1:48a rust belt to develop in the United States of America should have been unconscionable
31. 1:54and should be unconscionable going forward.
32. 1:57So we were just talking about that.
33. 1:59But in addition to Mr.
34. 2:00R-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r.
35. 2:03We have produced extraordinary looking dapper in this short sleeve, but the polo, you know.
36. 2:11He ain't on top of the horse, but he playing a little pouleau.
37. 2:15You know, the real J. Mac, ladies and gentlemen.
38. 2:20And if you find us around the country this summer,
39. 2:23you probably will run into J. Mac.
40. 2:26I ain't saying nothing else, that's all I'm saying.
41. 2:29Kevin Schruzmann.
42. 2:30Heh heh heh heh.
43. 2:32At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you,
44. 2:34are making your way from your part-time jobs
45. 2:36where you generate an income to your full-time jobs,
46. 2:40where you cultivate an outcome.
47. 2:41And as you do so, let me remind you to make your moves with intentionality, understand the
48. 2:49primacy that God places on family, allow his view to inform your view and respond accordingly.
49. 2:56I have been saying and I will continue to say we must live locally.
50. 3:00The Lord's desires for our external engagement and ministry to be the result of the overflow
51. 3:06of what we enjoy in him personally, it is appropriate for our chief affection to be the
52. 3:15Lord himself.
53. 3:16Psalm 37 talks about feeding on God's faithfulness.
54. 3:21I believe it was Pastor John Piper who said that sin is what mankind pursues when we are
55. 3:28not satisfied in God.
56. 3:31And old brothers and sisters, I can tell you that the Lord is more than sufficient.
57. 3:37an abundant privilege it is to be a son of the king, in my instance, and for those who
58. 3:43are listening, if you are a daughter of the king, what a glorious privilege it is.
59. 3:47I cannot imagine having a life void of the counsel of the Lord by His Spirit, the guidance
60. 3:58and instruction from His holy word.
61. 4:00I cannot imagine that form of life.
62. 4:03And for those who are listening to me, you may not be as familiar with the scripture.
63. 4:07You may not even yet be a believer.
64. 4:09I want to say to you just as the scripture says,
65. 4:11taste and see that the Lord is good.
66. 4:15Taste and see that the Lord is good.
67. 4:20Contrary to popular understanding,
68. 4:23there is no such thing as natural life void
69. 4:27of the spiritual reality and the implications
70. 4:31upon natural life is just a simple truth.
71. 4:34One of the things that has been
72. 4:39problematic for quite some time,
73. 4:42And I believe, it's not even just believe I know President Trump's tariff plan is an effort to rebalance things in the nation, because largely the American populace has been cultivated to such a such a degree where many people are addicted to the government dough and cannot imagine any cuts and spending.
74. 5:03And that's just, it's just untenable long term.
75. 5:07So we have overwhelmingly crushing debt.
76. 5:11The numbers have reached 37 trillion.
77. 5:13That does not include the unfunded mandates
78. 5:17in the entitlement program.
79. 5:19It's unsustainable.
80. 5:20But we have payment, interest payments,
81. 5:23on our national debt exceeding our gross domestic product.
82. 5:28It's absurd.
83. 5:29But what I want you to see,
84. 5:30I'm gonna show you this from scripture,
85. 5:33that out of controlled national debt
86. 5:34not merely evidence of fiscal responsibility. It's actually far deeper. Turn with me if you can.
87. 5:40Now if you're driving, don't turn. Don't turn. Just keep your hands on the steel one. Turn your car.
88. 5:45I know some of you are at home. You can turn with me in your Bibles through the book of Deuteronomy.
89. 5:51Deuteronomy chapter 15, this is as I've described before, the Deuterocanical expression
90. 5:58from Moses preparing the second generation, wilderness, Israelites, the first generation,
91. 6:05those who refused to enter the promised land immediately, all passed away in the wilderness,
92. 6:12save for Joshua and Caleb. This is what the scripture teaches us. So here Moses is recounting
93. 6:19for this next generation prior to his expiration and prior to their entre into the promised land,
94. 6:25what Yahweh has revealed to him for them. Deuteronomy chapter 15 verses 5 and 6
95. 6:33have keen insight and instruction for us.
96. 6:37It says this, if only you listen,
97. 6:39obediently to the voice of the Lord your God,
98. 6:41to observe carefully all this commandment,
99. 6:44which I am commanding you today,
100. 6:47for the Lord your God will bless you as he has promised you.
101. 6:52You will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow.
102. 6:56You will rule over many nations,
103. 6:58but they will not rule over you.
104. 7:01You can cross reference verse six here with Proverbs 22, verse seven,
105. 7:06when the Proverb writer says very simply,
106. 7:11the borrower is slave to the lender.
107. 7:15The borrower is slave to the lender.
108. 7:20Fiscal matters as described to these verses that I've just mentioned are not
109. 7:23merely natural phenomena of reading from, sorry, of arithmetic.
110. 7:28It's not merely economic policy.
111. 7:30God conveyed to His people that evidence of His blessing upon them is that they would not be a
112. 7:38debtor nation. They would not be a debtor nation. In fact, they would be in a position to lend to
113. 7:49other nations, but they would not be borrowers from any nations. This is not Abe's idea. This is
114. 8:02would God reveal to his people that evidence of his blessing upon his people is that they
115. 8:08would not be a detonation.
116. 8:12For the larger part of American history, we have not been a detonation.
117. 8:20In fact, prior to the passage of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, over 90% of the American
118. 8:26populace was debt-free.
119. 8:30Over 90%.
120. 8:34The passage of the Federal Reserve Act changed that. The creation of the Federal Reserve started
121. 8:40the trajectory for the American nation to move forward towards becoming a detonation.
122. 8:47You had the massive, regressive Woodrow Wilson, who signed the Federal Reserve Act.
123. 8:53Well, so by the way, is responsible for re-instituting,
124. 8:58governmentally established sinful partiality throughout the entirety of the Federal Government
125. 9:05structure, even screening the nation, the movie Birth of a Nation in the White House,
126. 9:12which were Wilson was aided by Teddy Roosevelt's creation of the Bull moves party as an expressed
127. 9:21move to prevent constitutionalist and conservatives from winning government to elections, which by
128. 9:27the way, the Bull moves party ultimately renamed itself to progressives, ultimately renamed themselves
129. 9:31liberals. But somehow Teddy Roosevelt is a little wrong, right? Somebody tell me how Teddy
130. 9:37Roosevelt. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
131. 9:41What I want you to see here is that crushing national debt,
132. 9:46not according to the latest figures, not according to a Treasury Secretary,
133. 9:51according to Scripture, was evidence of disfavor spiritually.
134. 10:03God said evidence of His blessing upon His people was that the nation, His nation,
135. 10:07would not be a debtor nation. So when we're having conversations about
136. 10:11national debt and and subsequent
137. 10:15administrations kicking cans down the
138. 10:16street. I want to be clear about this.
139. 10:17The national debt problem has been a
140. 10:19bipartisan project. No doubt about it.
141. 10:23No doubt about it. Well, your
142. 10:25family says that regressive. I call them
143. 10:26regressive because people like Teddy
144. 10:28Roosevelt and the Boamoos party and all
145. 10:29of them, they kept renaming themselves
146. 10:31rebranding so they can really deceive
147. 10:33the American populace as to what they
148. 10:34were really up to. Woodrow Wilson
149. 10:37fancied himself the American version
150. 10:39of a Stalinist Russian Politburo.
151. 10:45Not necessarily Stalinist, maybe Leninist, Politburo.
152. 10:49That the American people were too juvenile and infantile
153. 10:53in their intellectual capacity to know what was right for them.
154. 10:57So we need to control it for them.
155. 10:59You know, kind of like Michelle Obama's desire
156. 11:00to tell everybody what they need to eat.
157. 11:03Before there was a Michelle Obama, there was Woodrow.
158. 11:06Doing the same kinds of things.
159. 11:09But what I want this audience to see and to understand
160. 11:12is that crushing national debt is not merely a fiscal policy phenomenon, not merely.
161. 11:21In our personal lives, the way we manage our finances is an extension of a fruit of the spirit
162. 11:26called self-control, self-control. Living beneath your means, only spending what you can afford,
163. 11:35notice I didn't say not spending what you can make payments on, and I'm not trying to shame
164. 11:40anybody and condemn anybody for particular practices, but it needs us to understand that all
165. 11:45all of our conduct has a spiritual foundation to it in allowing this thing to metastasize.
166. 11:55And we continue to borrow and we continue to borrow and we continue to borrow and we
167. 11:59have numbers that begin to be meaningless to people.
168. 12:08The elimination of economics as a study in our schooling systems guys is not a coincidence.
169. 12:19I've shared with you before when the Federal Reserve Act was passed, it was first attempted
170. 12:22to be passed in 1910 and it failed then.
171. 12:27But the members who attended the Jekyll Island meeting
172. 12:31between 1910 and 1913, it did something
173. 12:33that was novel in American history.
174. 12:35They began to fund chairs of economics
175. 12:37at America's universities to where you started to have
176. 12:44debt to be viewed as something that was positive.
177. 12:51Later you have the development and the employment
178. 12:53of Keynesian economics.
179. 12:58And then you began to see not immediately,
180. 13:00but over time, over time.
181. 13:03Oh, we don't need to teach the American children
182. 13:06about economics anymore.
183. 13:08I ask them to waste time.
184. 13:08Let's get on to other things.
185. 13:11You think that was just a coincidence?
186. 13:13Some of my more seasoned listeners and viewers
187. 13:16who are watching, you remember when you were in school,
188. 13:18you had economics classes.
189. 13:22People who my generation and younger
190. 13:24didn't have economics classes.
191. 13:25You think that's a coincidence?
192. 13:29The term supply and demand mean nothing
193. 13:32to an entire generation of Americans.
194. 13:36And we have a populace that is so accustomed to debt.
195. 13:43Now we have over 90% of the American populace that's in debt.
196. 13:46So when we have the citizens that are in debt
197. 13:48and then they learn that the nation is in debt,
198. 13:50they just feel like, well, I'm guessing the nation
199. 13:52is just doing the same thing we're doing,
200. 13:55which is foolhardy.
201. 13:59And we're reaching the place guys,
202. 14:01what that can that's been perverbially kicked down
203. 14:08the road for later attention.
204. 14:14Ultimately that builds will have to be paid.
205. 14:17So I want you to see this so we can have an appropriate
206. 14:22biblical estimation of what it means to be a detonation.
207. 14:27Because God's word reveals that evidence of his blessing
208. 14:30upon his people, so that they would not be a detonation,
209. 14:35it would borrow from no one.
210. 14:38They would be in a position to lend,
211. 14:39but they would borrow from no one.
212. 14:41No word says that the borrower is slave to the lender.
213. 14:44You know why?
214. 14:45Because no matter what you may want to do,
215. 14:48If you're in debt, you ultimately got to pay the pipe.
216. 14:51So your entire thrust of engagement and decision-making
217. 14:53will be determined by what is owed.
218. 15:00A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
219. 15:04Genesis is a wonderful, powerful, and supernatural book.
220. 15:08It's the book that begins to answer our questions about God.
221. 15:13People ask many questions about life,
222. 15:16real questions that they wish to get answers for,
223. 15:18questions such as where did we come from? Who created us? Who created the world? Who created the universe?
224. 15:27What is the purpose of life? These are only a few of many legitimate questions that people often ask.
225. 15:33If you'd ask many scientists in our culture today, what are some of your main goals and what is your purpose in studying science?
226. 15:40We're trying to find out who we are and where we came from.
227. 15:44from. The Word of God has answers, many, many answers. It's God's Word that gives us answers
228. 15:51to all of our questions. He, of course, has answers that no one else would even begin to
229. 15:57have.
230. 16:05Shiting light into the darkness, this is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
231. 16:11Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton. The third here, May 22nd through the
232. 16:1524th 2025. We will be at the NCHE Thrive Conference in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
233. 16:23We will be broadcasting the show live from this conference. I will be minishing at the
234. 16:28conference. It is going to be an amazing time. You are invited to attend Winston-Salem if you're
235. 16:33in the area or willing and able to come to the area May 22nd through the 24th is the
236. 16:38date simply go to nche.com to register that is nche.com. Alright, last night there were
237. 16:50several elections around the country that have significant implications for our nation.
238. 17:01Further in my estimation it shows why there is an outsized necessity for us to live locally.
239. 17:08You have elections on several fronts in Wisconsin and you had special elections to fill to recently
240. 17:15vacated congressional seats in Florida.
241. 17:20So I want to share a little bit about that.
242. 17:22The unfortunate reality is this.
243. 17:25It was constant Supreme Court race that I share with you to where Susan Crawford, who
244. 17:29is a proud regressive, you know, excuse me.
245. 17:38We won the judicial seat and will now serve a 10-year term on the Wisconsin State Supreme
246. 17:43Court, the likely redistricting plan that will come following the 2030 census may very well
247. 17:53be decided by the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
248. 17:55But the voters in that state apparently have selected Susan Crawford over Judge Schimmel in
249. 18:04the state.
250. 18:05I explained before that Susan Crawford, I mean there, I could give you a list of her not so great hits,
251. 18:17but I think they all could be being capsulated in this, that she was playing a pair in the
252. 18:21hood of Wisconsin's attorney. That gives you a very clear indication of her worldview,
253. 18:28her judicial philosophy, and she was quite boisterous about her engagement there.
254. 18:44That is what happened.
255. 18:46In addition to that, Wisconsin had a statewide election
256. 18:50for what they called in their state
257. 18:52through superintendent of public instruction.
258. 18:55And you had a regressive incumbent, Joe Underley,
259. 18:58he was also reelected in the state of Wisconsin.
260. 19:02Then in contrast to that, because the same people
261. 19:06who were campaigning for, rallying for,
262. 19:09Susan Crawford and for Joe Underley,
263. 19:13They were also campaigning in opposition to Wisconsin's question number one,
264. 19:21which was a ballot initiative that the voters in Wisconsin got to decide whether
265. 19:28or not they wanted to require photo identification in order to participate,
266. 19:34in order to participate in elections in the state.
267. 19:37And you want to know what?
268. 19:39Question one, passed overwhelmingly, 63% to 37%
269. 19:46hence my description of it as a mixed bag.
270. 19:52Because you have candidates who were regressive
271. 19:57in their ideology, who were elected
272. 20:01and in one instance reelected,
273. 20:02yet you had the citizens vote to require identification
274. 20:07to participate in the franchise,
275. 20:10the electoral franchise in the state.
276. 20:13very, very, very interesting. Wisconsin is continuing with their description of being,
277. 20:24I guess, a swing state or a toss-up state. This is a state that in the 2024 presidential
278. 20:33election, President Trump won. All right. So what is happening? Well, according to these
279. 20:40results it is showing on one hand the citizens of Wisconsin are quite fine with their judiciary
280. 20:49continuing in what I would call an anti-constitutional direction.
281. 20:55It was interesting as Susan Crawford's celebration party that she had members of the judiciary,
282. 21:01the current judiciary there.
283. 21:03Now, I know that we like to describe the judiciary as nonpartisan, but how you explain that?
284. 21:14There it is, celebrating, whoop, whoop, you know, very, very interesting, which is why
285. 21:24the necessity of appealing to hearts and minds cannot happen from a helicopter disposition
286. 21:31and has to happen on the ground.
287. 21:36Then you have in addition to the superintendent of public instruction, you have school board
288. 21:45races throughout the state of Wisconsin that were on the ballot yesterday.
289. 21:50And you have in 26 races, 20 of those 26 races, you had constitutionalists and conservatives
290. 21:58who won 20 out of 26 races.
291. 22:01Again, a mixed bag.
292. 22:04I'm seeing and you don't have to be, you know, a Maharashi to come to this conclusion with
293. 22:13the judiciary and at the superintendent level, the state's voters seemed more inclined for
294. 22:22regressive candidates.
295. 22:23But then when you come to the ground for their local school boards, the states, I'm sorry, the
296. 22:31districts, if you will, the municipalities of more local areas that had candidates for school
297. 22:37boards that are closer to the state's children, the voters in that state didn't want to go.
298. 22:44What progressives?
299. 22:45Could it be?
300. 22:46Could it be that they didn't want people who were, you know, socially transist and children,
301. 22:55much to the disdain of parents and families?
302. 23:01Very interesting.
303. 23:02Then in Florida, you had two special elections.
304. 23:04Florida's first congressional district.
305. 23:07You had a special election to fill the seat vacated by Matt Gaetz, which he was just reelected
306. 23:13to by the way in 2024.
307. 23:16The Republican Jimmy Petronas won that seat, although not by the same margin, percentage
308. 23:23wise that Matt Gaetz won the seat.
309. 23:26And in Florida's sixth congressional district, Republican Randy Fine won the seat that was
310. 23:31vacated by Representative Mike Waltz, who is now serving as President Trump's National
311. 23:36security advisor, which is why I said when I learned of these nominations, I don't know
312. 23:42if it's so necessarily why I said President Trump to to winnow the Republican majority
313. 23:47in the House of Representatives in order to feel his cabinet because you could be in challenging
314. 23:53positions.
315. 23:54But these two seats of apparently wearing districts that Republicans deemed safe, deemed safe.
316. 24:02So the balance of power in the United States House of Representatives currently stands with
317. 24:07Republicans having a majority of 220 seats. Democrats holding 213 seats. There are still
318. 24:14two vacant seats because two Democrat Congress members passed away in office. Representative
319. 24:19Raoul Grijalva in Arizona passed away and his seat is still vacant and representative
320. 24:26Sylvester Turner in Texas has recently passed away. So those seats are still vacant. If those
321. 24:33seats are later won by Democrats, and that would bring the balance of power in the House
322. 24:39Representatives to 220 Republicans to 15 for the Democrats if those seats would be populated
323. 24:50or won by Republicans that would increase the Republican majority to 22 to 213. This is
324. 24:57also why New York Congresswoman Elise Tefanek has now announced she is not going to pursue
325. 25:05President Trump's nomination of her to serve in his administration.
326. 25:09I believe as an ambassador to the United Nations.
327. 25:13But again, you got to be prudent enough not to when you have slim majorities, not to win
328. 25:22know that majority and assume that you're going to be able to have to maintain that majority,
329. 25:29you know, but I guess better late than never on that front.
330. 25:35Guess it is better late than never, but it didn't need to be late at all.
331. 25:40If you say, wait a minute, why don't we get somebody else that we maintain these majorities?
332. 25:44Again, on the whole, what it shows, what it shows is that vigilance is required.
333. 25:51into hearts and minds, I strongly believe that the room exists to appeal to people.
334. 25:58I've explained my own testimony in this regard.
335. 26:00I knew nothing about, you know, reds and blues, political knowledge, other kind of stuff.
336. 26:05I knew the Lord saved me.
337. 26:07That's what I knew.
338. 26:08And I knew that I wanted to live as closely as possible to what the scripture reveals,
339. 26:14to which someone attempted to insult me by saying, you're just conservative.
340. 26:17I was like, I didn't even know what it meant.
341. 26:19I just said, well, you call me whatever names you want,
342. 26:21but I know that was then trespassing the sins
343. 26:25and Jesus saved my soul.
344. 26:27And now the life I live now was no longer my own.
345. 26:32The mind that I have is no longer my own.
346. 26:34I pray that the Lord will renew my mind.
347. 26:42And so there are many who have allowed the reality
348. 26:46of transcendent truth to be downgraded
349. 26:49into common notions of political rhetoric
350. 26:53and refused to delve into the reality of transcendent truth and its outsized implications.
351. 27:01You know, it shouldn't be lost.
352. 27:04And I'll just pick him because he's popular at the moment.
353. 27:07Elon Musk's awakening, if you will, wasn't an awakening.
354. 27:10He got slapped in the face personally with the radical ideology among the people he supported.
355. 27:16Elon Musk was a committed lefty, a committed regressive himself, started Tesla because
356. 27:21he believed the whole the world is on fire kind of thing.
357. 27:26It's gonna be good. We got 10 years. We have to do this.
358. 27:29It's still the reason why he's trying to go to Mars
359. 27:33because of environmentalism that he wants to build a
360. 27:42repeat capacity to travel to Mars because he believes that the Earth is
361. 27:46deteriorating so we need to have colonies elsewhere.
362. 27:50Dead serious.
363. 27:53That's why I said, I'm watching.
364. 27:57Now I'm thankful for the positive things he's done,
365. 28:00but keep it watch.
366. 28:05Things he's doing with those phenomenal.
367. 28:11This is why we have to continue to endeavor to be salt and light.
368. 28:18This is why we have to continue to live locally, appeal to our friends and relatives and neighbors.
369. 28:23Because it would have been far better for someone to be able to get access to Elon Musk's
370. 28:31and his multiple baby mamas before, as he described it, one of his sons is dead now.
371. 28:42And he says, because for me to call my son the name,
372. 28:46my son's name, that would be dead naming him.
373. 28:48So I no longer according to them have a son.
374. 28:51And he goes on his whole spiel about the woke mind virus
375. 28:53and all this other kind of stuff.
376. 28:56But it's the Mike Tyson theorem.
377. 28:57Everybody has ideas until you get punched in the mouth.
378. 28:59And then reality sets it, because ideas have consequences.
379. 29:06And bad ideas create casualties.
380. 29:09And you have people like Chloe Cole who are sounding the alarm,
381. 29:12All sin is the same in terms of his eternal impact,
382. 29:15but not all sin is the same in terms of its temporal impact.
383. 29:20They have young girls all over the country
384. 29:21who are heeding the lives of the culture
385. 29:23and will never be able to breastfeed their own children.
386. 29:27If they're even able to have children,
387. 29:29some haven't gone far enough to where they can no longer
388. 29:32have children.
389. 29:40These are real consequences, man.
390. 29:43These are real consequences.
391. 29:48And that's why one of the most loving things we can do
392. 29:51live and proclaim the truth. Not with belligerence, not with hostility, but compassion. Biblical
393. 29:59compassion. The scripture records Jesus was moved with compassion, so he taught the people many things.
394. 30:11Compassion doesn't cause you to just sit on the side and just emote. Oh, I feel your pain.
395. 30:21Empathy is positive if it's positive, but compassion, biblically compassion moves us toward truth.
396. 30:32Love, biblically, doesn't rejoice in a lie.
397. 30:36It's not loving to indulge lies.
398. 30:39Love rejoices in the truth.
399. 30:47Speaking of, joys in the truth, do you guys recall when President Trump announced his desire
400. 30:59for states to comply?
401. 31:00He had an event where the state's governors were all with him in DC and he was describing,
402. 31:09I'm not gonna have enough time to get to this.
403. 31:10I'm gonna carry this over to the, on the other side of the break.
404. 31:13But he was describing the executive order he signed to keep men out of women's sports.
405. 31:19Mm hmm.
406. 31:23And how much time?
407. 31:25Okay.
408. 31:27And he was describing some of the things that were impactful to him.
409. 31:31He referred to the Paris Olympics where you had, you know, bodybuilders and
410. 31:38the weightlifting competitions.
411. 31:40And you had rule, I'm sorry, you had records
412. 31:42that had been on the books for years, you know?
413. 31:47And they said when the records would be approached
414. 31:49by women, weight lifters, they may put, you know,
415. 31:51another ounce on one side of the barbell
416. 31:54and maybe another ounce on the other side of the barbell.
417. 31:57And the records were being increased incrementally,
418. 32:03and ounces, they said, then all of a sudden,
419. 32:05you have men entering women's competition,
420. 32:10competitions under the guys that oh yes yes they they're women too and he said and
421. 32:18then all of a sudden these women weightlifting records are being smashed by
422. 32:24hundreds of pounds we refer to that referred to boxing the series describing
423. 32:32that this is what the people voted for this is what I can't paint on and federal
424. 32:39law is consistent with my executive orders and so governors you need to comply
425. 32:44and then he highlighted one governor in particular,
426. 32:47because he had heard,
427. 32:50oh, Maine has declared that they will not comply.
428. 32:52Governor Janet Mills has said she will not comply.
429. 32:55More when we come back, stay with us.
430. 33:00In Denver, Colorado, Jamie Sanchez
431. 33:02obeyed the Lord's call and opened the drip cafe
432. 33:05to create jobs to help unhoused people
433. 33:07get back on their feet.
434. 33:08Of course, the LGBTQ community began persecuting him
435. 33:12for his Christian beliefs,
436. 33:13his inspiring story of standing boldly for God's truth
437. 33:16in the face of great opposition is part of our Impact series.

455. 34:14Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham, Hamilton
456. 34:16the third before we went to the break, I was just explaining the blast from the past where
457. 34:23President Trump was announcing, not announcing the executive order as if he was signing. He
458. 34:29already signed it, but he had a meeting with the nation's governors and he was talking about
459. 34:36this order. And in describing it, he basically said he'd gotten word that the state of Maine
460. 34:44would refuse to comply with the executive order,
461. 34:47particularly as it pertains to keeping women out of,
462. 34:51I'm sorry, keeping men out of women's sports,
463. 34:54keeping boys out of girls sports in high school
464. 34:58and collegiate athletics.
465. 35:00And he'd learned that Maine had no intention to comply.
466. 35:02So I just want to remind you of this,
467. 35:04and of course y'all know me.
468. 35:05I'm reminding you of this for a reason.
469. 35:07Listen to and watch this from February 21st, 21st.
470. 35:11This year, 2025, when President Trump
471. 35:13was addressing governors concerning his executive orders.
472. 35:18Clip number one, go.
473. 35:20Two weeks ago, I signed an executive order banning men
474. 35:25from playing in women's sports.
475. 35:28Many Democrats are fighting me on that.
476. 35:30I hope you continue because you'll never win another race.
477. 35:33And it's just crazy if you look at what happened with the boxing,
478. 35:37if you look at what happened with the weightlifting numbers,
479. 35:39were a record that hadn't been broken for 19 years,
480. 35:44got shattered, but they put up an eighth of an ounce here,
481. 35:48an eighth of an ounce here on his 218 pounds,
482. 35:51or whatever, a lot.
483. 35:53And hadn't been broken in 19 years,
484. 35:56and then Guy walks up, he transitioned,
485. 36:02and he knocked out that record by about 100 pounds.
486. 36:05That would be a record not going to be broken again in a longer.
487. 36:08So we put a ban on it and to protect women.
488. 36:14I mean, the women, if you watch the Olympics,
489. 36:16you had two transitioned people that were fighting
490. 36:19in the women's boxing category.
491. 36:21And if you saw that, it was brutal.
492. 36:25What happened to the Italian woman was a really good boxer.
493. 36:29After one punch, she said, no, no, no more.
494. 36:32No more.
495. 36:33It was a left.
496. 36:34It was not even a, it was just a left jab.
497. 36:37She had hit so hard.
498. 36:37She said, I can't do it.
499. 36:40They forced her to go out.
500. 36:41No, go out.
501. 36:41Go out again.
502. 36:42You'll do it.
503. 36:43Because I'd again hit, said again.
504. 36:45No, no.
505. 36:45That's it.
506. 36:47She didn't want to die.
507. 36:48And that's crazy.
508. 36:49But the NCAA has complied immediately, by the way.
509. 36:54That's good.
510. 36:55But I understand Maine.
511. 36:57Is the Maine here the governor of Maine?
512. 37:01Are you not going to comply with it?
513. 37:03I'm going to state the federal law.
514. 37:05Well, we are the federal law.
515. 37:08Well, you better do it.
516. 37:09You better do it because you're not
517. 37:10going to get any federal funding at all if you don't.
518. 37:12And by the way, your population, even though it's somewhat
519. 37:14liberal, although I did very well there,
520. 37:17your population doesn't want men playing in women's sports.
521. 37:20So you better comply because otherwise you're not
522. 37:23getting any federal funding.
523. 37:25See what court?
524. 37:26Every state, good.
525. 37:27I'll see you in court.
526. 37:28I look forward to that.
527. 37:29That should be a real easy one.
528. 37:34So that was Maine's governor.
529. 37:36I mean, this is.
530. 37:39I don't remember seeing it like this on camera.
531. 37:41you know, uh, President Trump, you better do it. You better comply. Maine's Governor
532. 37:46Janet Mills said, see you in court, to which president or Trump responded, we'll good. I
533. 37:50hope you do it. It'll be easy when, why am I bringing it up? Because today, today, the
534. 37:59United States Department of Agriculture informed the state of Maine that federal funds to the
535. 38:08state were frozen. In the address, President Trump said, quote, you, well, the Trump administration
536. 38:18said, quote, through the Agriculture Secretary, Brooke Rollins, said, quote, you cannot openly
537. 38:24violate federal law against discrimination in education and expect federal funding to
538. 38:29continue unabated. Your defiance of federal law has cost your state, which is bound by
539. 38:34Title IX in educational programming.
540. 38:38Today, I am freezing Maine's federal funds for certain administrative and technological
541. 38:43functions in schools.
542. 38:44This is only the beginning, though you are free to end it at any time by protecting women
543. 38:49and girls in compliance with federal law.
544. 38:53In order to continue to receive taxpayer dollars from USDA, the state of Maine must demonstrate
545. 38:58compliance with Title IX's protection of female student athletes from having to compete with
546. 39:04or against or having to appear unclothed before males. USDA alongside other federal agencies
547. 39:14will continue to pause and wear appropriate terminate categories of education programming in Maine
548. 39:21if these Title IX violations are not resolved to the satisfaction of the federal government.
549. 39:26In addition, USDA has launched a full review of grants awarded by the Biden administration to the
550. 39:32main Department of Education. Many of these grants appear to be wasteful, redundant, or
551. 39:37otherwise against the priorities of the Trump administration. USDA will not extend the Biden
552. 39:42administration's blow to bureaucracy and will instead focus on a department that is
553. 39:47farmer-first and without a leftist social agenda. We look forward to the state's cooperation
554. 39:53with all federal reviews and future compliance with federal law and policy in quote.
555. 40:02Why are you crying the man said y'all better comply
556. 40:11Janet Mills will see you in court. I'll see you in no money first. Oh
557. 40:21Man, oh man. Oh man. Oh man. Oh man. Oh man
558. 40:24Y'all think the bed is playing plan at all
559. 40:31Not to mention I mean I want Delvin to this now
560. 40:36But according to certain sources the USAID programs in seem to have sent quite a few um
561. 40:42unaccounted funds to Governor Mills is a
562. 40:45husband is that is that is that well well well what I want to say that allow Bob
563. 40:50yeah man this this is this is wild but this is what should happen this is exactly
564. 41:00what should happen you cannot flaunt and flout federal law yet continue to receive
565. 41:07unabated federal funding in fact this is why here we go civics 101 the US
566. 41:15Constitution divided Congress into two chambers, House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate,
567. 41:23the Founders Constitution had the House of Representatives to be the representative of
568. 41:27the individual citizen.
569. 41:29The U.S. Senate was supposed to be comprised of members who represented the interests of
570. 41:33the states.
571. 41:35It is in fact the state legislatures that would elect U.S. senators, which is why I would
572. 41:40simply say that if U.S. senators were continuously elected by state legislatures and had the
573. 41:45responsibility of seeing to it that the state's interests were preserved and protected. You
574. 41:49never would have seen a Department of Education created at the federal level because it was
575. 41:53the state's interest issue from the very beginning. But I digress in addition to that division
576. 41:59of constitutional authority, the House of Representatives always was the house that was responsible
577. 42:05for instituting and initiating not instituting, but initiating bills having to do with the
578. 42:11public purse, the US Treasury.
579. 42:19So the Trump administration is right.
580. 42:23You pass a call, so you can't smack your dad
581. 42:26and then ask him for $10.
582. 42:27Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
583. 42:31Oh, that's funny.
584. 42:32That's funny.
585. 42:34Well, Governor Mills says, see you in court.
586. 42:38The Trump administration says, not if I see you first.
587. 42:45All right, I shared the story with you guys
588. 42:46about the East Plano Islamic Center's efforts
589. 42:50to establish Epic City in the Dallas area,
590. 42:56Dallas Metroplex area. Texas Governor Greg Abbott, as of Monday has announced that the
591. 43:07state's primary criminal investigative branch is now fully investigating the East is East
592. 43:15Plano Islamic Center. And any of the mosques affiliates for, as you said, quote, potentially
593. 43:25violating criminal law. In quote, this proposed epic city, as I've explained to you guys before,
594. 43:35was the plans aren't a building on a 402 acre site and includes over a thousand homes and mosques,
595. 43:42etc. All of these things. Well, Texas Governor's Greg Abbott said they are now under investigation.
596. 43:54So I wanted to give you that update since I broached this subject with you a few days ago.
597. 43:59Additionally, something I wanted to share just as interesting to note that Newsmax, the conservative
598. 44:09television network, just announced its initial public offering Monday.
599. 44:17And as of Tuesday yesterday, the stock has apparently soared in a dizzying fashion over
600. 44:28or nearly 180% in share prices have risen over 1,500% when the IPO was made.
601. 44:37The initial public offering share price was $14 per share.
602. 44:41As of close on Tuesday, the share price had ballooned to $233 per share, causing Newsmax
603. 44:50founder and CEO Christopher ready to join the ranks of America's billionaires because
604. 44:55he owns roughly 32.39.2 million class A shares of stock in the company and 81.4% of the voting
605. 45:03stock bringing his valuation personally to about $9 billion. In addition to him, Thomas
606. 45:14Petterfi, who is also a major GOP donor, also owns about 23 million shares of the stock.
607. 45:22The surge is really surprising to a lot of people who are Wall Street types. Listen to
608. 45:33and watch this. Well, no video for this one. So listen to this clip discussing Newsmax,
609. 45:41Newsmax's IPO and the ascendancy of its stock value. Clip number four, clip four. Go.
610. 45:47Newsmax shares. Now, they are skyrocketing in their trading debut here after, of course,
611. 45:53$5 million initial public offering.
612. 45:55So this one is soaring, Christine.
613. 45:57Of course, conservative media outlet now,
614. 46:00officially trading on the Nicie, ticker, NMAX.
615. 46:04What a move.
616. 46:05And in terms of its place in the broader competitive landscape,
617. 46:08saw the CEO, Ebby Christopher Ruddy, telling reporters today,
618. 46:11Newsmax, he says, is actually the number four cable news
619. 46:15channel he said in the United States right behind CNN.
620. 46:18But what a reaction here to this topic.
621. 46:20I saw that.
622. 46:20Like you said, certainly buoyed by Trump being elected president.
623. 46:24Yeah, you would put this up in sort of the broader Trump trade.
624. 46:28You think that's getting caught up in that?
625. 46:30Right.
626. 46:30It's certainly getting caught up in that.
627. 46:32But that stat that I heard that as well, the fourth most
628. 46:34watch news network would just absolutely blows my mind.
629. 46:37And so the stock was, I think, halted at one point today
630. 46:40because of its rise.
631. 46:42But yeah, a complete different story than the core weave.
632. 46:45And that story may have been flipped last year
633. 46:48had these two debuted.
634. 46:49Interesting.
635. 46:51In terms of viewership, Newsmax is still far beyond behind some of its primary competitors.
636. 46:57Like as you heard in the clip, the fourth most watch, watch program, but they saw a vulnerability.
637. 47:03This is according to CEO, ready.
638. 47:05Simply put, they felt like some people were disaffected with Fox News.
639. 47:10And so they saw an opening and so they tried to take the opening.
640. 47:13And now while you see things going in the opposite direction, shall I say,
641. 47:18and places like MSNBC, CNN and other places.
642. 47:22It's interesting to see the investors response
643. 47:26to Newsmax's initial public offering.
644. 47:30So that's something to keep watch on, to note,
645. 47:34as things are transpiring.
646. 47:36Now with the remaining literally waning seconds
647. 47:40of the show today, Bobby says two minutes.
648. 47:44So 120 seconds, Bobby.
649. 47:48I'd simply want to remind you what I do all the time
650. 47:49And darkness is not an affirmative force.
651. 47:52It's not, it's not.
652. 47:53And I don't say that to just to hype or,
653. 47:57or just to rouse emotional response.
654. 48:00I say that soberly and even clinically,
655. 48:04so that we will take full advantage
656. 48:07of the time that God has given us.
657. 48:09You know, the fact that you and I have awakened
658. 48:14in this day, the Lord has given us breath in our lungs,
659. 48:17our organs are functional.
660. 48:20He's ordained us for this time.
661. 48:21and we cannot miss our moment.
662. 48:24Christ's following is not a spectator sport.
663. 48:26It's not one of these things we stand on the sideline
664. 48:28and cheer everybody else on.
665. 48:30The questions we all need to be asking is,
666. 48:32Lord, what would you have me to do in this moment?
667. 48:34How would you have me to respond?
668. 48:38We have to batten down the hatches at home.
669. 48:41If we are consistently disappointed
670. 48:44by people serving in various capacities,
671. 48:46I simply say, what would the Lord have us to do?
672. 48:50Many of you listening to me,
673. 48:51you need to go ahead and start the business
674. 48:52God has put in your heart.
675. 48:55Some of you need to run for office.
676. 48:56Some of you need to part of planning
677. 48:58of biblically solid biblically faithful churches.
678. 49:02We don't need fewer.
679. 49:03We need more biblically faithful churches in our country.
680. 49:06And we need to endeavor to be salt and light
681. 49:08right in the communities where God has planted us.
682. 49:11Let us bloom where he has planted us.
683. 49:14The order of the day is lived locally.
684. 49:18Income generation is a part-time gig.
685. 49:20Outcome cultivation is a full-time gig.
686. 49:23The Lord has called his people
687. 49:24to execute his commission.
688. 49:26As far as it pertains to you and to me,
689. 49:30we must be about our father's business.
690. 49:31You all have a great evening.
