0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
0:07This 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.
0:35Welcome to the Hamilton Corner.
0:37My name is Abraham Hamilton, the third.
0:39I am the host of this program joined by the Corner Contingent.
0:44Right across from me, my man, 100 grand, Mr. Bobby.
0:47Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
0:49And in the screening room, produce extraordinary, often imitated.
0:53I never duplicated the real Jay Mack, ladies and gentlemen,
0:56we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program,
1:00at this very moment, many of you, if not most of you are making your transition from your
1:04part time jobs where you generate an income.
1:08What are you laughing at about it?
1:11There's a stronger song today.
1:14You're strong.
1:16Transitioning from your part time jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs
1:21where you cultivate an outcome.
1:22And as you do so, I want to remind you to make your moves with intentionality, understanding
1:29the primacy that God places on family and welcoming his view to inform your view and my view.
1:37To remember that what goes on in your houses is far more important than what goes on in
1:45the White House.
1:46I say that not to diminish the significance of what goes on in the White House.
1:50I talk about things that are happening in the White House quite frequently because they
1:53are important, but those things are not more important than what goes on in your home and
1:58what goes on in my home. We add the responsibility of cultivating an outcome, starting first in
2:04our homes so often, so often we neglect what's happening at home in an effort to be fruitful,
2:12effective and productive in the greater world surrounding our homes, which those things are
2:17important as well, but they should not be pursued at the expense of what happens in our homes.
2:22If you're in the stage of life as I am where we have young children in our homes, we do
2:26not get to repeat their developmental stages, man.
2:29You know, I've been talking, I'm at the stage now, I got a 14-year-old who's learning how
2:33to drive.
2:34I can't go back to him being 10, can't go back to 8, can't go back to 7.
2:39I don't get to do that over again.
2:41And so I offer this reminder daily to encourage us to place significance and importance where
2:48it rightly belongs.
2:49Our responsibilities, even before we get to serving our children, those of us who are married,
2:54We have an obligation to honor the Lord and how we interact with our spouses, how we serve
3:00our spouses.
3:01The Lord moved the apostle Peter to write that husbands are to dwell with our wives in an understanding
3:06manner so that our prayers are not hindered.
3:08We want to talk about heavy.
3:10Do you realize that the Scripture communicates that the quality with which we serve our spouses
3:15will have a direct impact on our prayer lives?
3:17I don't know about you, but I don't have time for my prayer life to be hindered at any capacity,
3:23not in the least bit.
3:26So let us be about our father's business, but that doesn't start when we hit the streets.
3:32That doesn't start in our places of employment.
3:34That doesn't start out, excuse me, excuse me, sneeze.
3:40It doesn't start outside the home that starts right in our homes.
3:44So let us serve the Lord well there.
3:47The first human institution that God established was the family with marriage at the center.
3:52The first command that God gave to mankind, he gave within the familial context.
3:59All of that is instructive for us.
4:01We would do well to understand that and respond accordingly.
4:07Thank you to all of you who are wishing me, God bless you for my sneezes.
4:13Always sneez more than once.
4:14That's crazy.
4:16To the word of God, we go Matthew chapter 15, Matthew chapter 15.
4:21I, I, I am compelled to continue to highlight this because there are lots of things happening
4:27on a lot of different sectors, but I simply want to remind this audience.
4:31that there is an internal capacity that's necessary amongst the people who populate our
4:38great nation in order to preserve this experiment in individual liberty and self-governance.
4:47All right, we've said numerous times.
4:50John Adams pointed to the fact that our constitutional Republican form of government is only sufficient
4:56for religious and moral people.
4:58It is, he said, wholly inadequate to the governance of any other.
5:02George Washington said the same thing in his farewell address when he talked about religion
5:06and morality are being indispensable support to our former of government in order for our
5:13nation to remain our nation with fidelity to our founding documents.
5:21And the principles articulated therein a particular people are only fit for that type of governance.
5:31And that is a self-governed people.
5:34We cannot have an enduring system of government of self-governance, but we don't have a self-governed
5:40people, which is why as our nation has become increasingly wicked.
5:47And I know that that's not fun.
5:48I take no joy in highlighting that.
5:51Well, I think on one hand, and this is a fact that I say this often, United States of
5:55America is the greatest nation in the history of the world.
5:58while at the exact same time, it is also true
6:03that our nation has become increasingly wicked,
6:06overwhelmingly wicked.
6:10It should not be surprising to us
6:14that the more wicked our nation has become,
6:17the less willing our nation has been
6:19to remain faithful to our founding documents.
6:21Why is that?
6:24Because the wicked people will not
6:25do a good godly government.
6:27That's just the fact.
6:29So if we want to have all of these things,
6:33President Trump's campaign slogan,
6:34making America great and all that kind of stuff,
6:36America cannot be great focusing on the stock market,
6:39focusing on economic things,
6:40and we ignore the core of our nation.
6:43Now we have an overwhelmingly wicked nation,
6:47and I'm not talking about some humanistic moralism,
6:50I'm talking about our nation requires
6:52in order for our nation to be the type of nation
6:55as we were founded to be.
6:57And I wanna make sure everybody's clear
7:00what I'm saying here, that I believe God inspired the principles that outlined our
7:05founding. And those principles were aspirational, which is why our preamble says
7:11that one of the purposes of the Constitution's creation is to form a more
7:15perfect union, meaning simply to become better and better qualitatively over time.
7:21The only way that's going to happen, folks, is if we have a people who
7:25individually recognize their desperate need for Savior. To the word of God, we
7:30Matthew, chapter 15, Jesus was being challenged about ceremonial hand
7:36washings and particularly how a failure to comply with that result results in
7:40defilement of the individual to which Jesus responded very plainly and he's
7:45explaining his answer to his followers. Verse 17, Matthew, chapter 15, verse 17.
7:52This is what God's word says, but sorry, do you not see that whatever goes into the
8:00mouth passes into the stomach and is and is expelled. But what comes out of the mouth
8:08proceeds from the heart and this defiles a person for out of the heart come evil thoughts murder,
8:21adultery, sexual immorality or some translations say for one occasion with the Greek word there's
8:27poor Nea. I'll explain that in a moment. From out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder,
8:32adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander. These are what defile a person. But
8:42to eat with unwashed hands does not defile anyone. Jesus incorrectly identifying the source of
8:52defilement for a person. He brings it right to the core of where it is, the wickedness of
8:58human heart. I've pointed the
9:02description over the years.
9:03Whenever you have regressives
9:05who try to make political points
9:08on the back of national
9:10tragedies and things of that
9:11nature and those would assert
9:12things like gun control and I
9:13highlight the fact that the per
9:15capita number of and the per
9:18capita and the pro-rata number
9:20of guns to American citizens is
9:22the same today as it's always
9:23been in America's history.
9:25Yet America's experiences with
9:27mass shootings and things of
9:28that nature is a relatively recent phenomenon.
9:32So we have 150 plus years, 200 years of existence, but we don't have mass shootings, but we
9:38have mass shootings following what?
9:40Things like the removal of prayer from America's school systems and efforts to formally eject
9:47God from public life.
9:54That's what's changed.
9:57It's not the presence of firearms.
10:03That's what's changed.
10:07The problem in America is a heart problem.
10:10We have a heart problem.
10:12The massive notions of entitlement that I have a right to extract funds from my neighbor to
10:18accomplish all kinds of dreams and panacea.
10:22That's nothing but sanitize covetousness.
10:27The idea that I'm not entitled to anything that I do not earn is reflective of a person
10:33into as an individual conviction about honoring the Lord
10:37and refusing unjust gain.
10:41We will not have a great nation if we try to continue
10:44to trim around the hedges, but we ignore the central source
10:49of deterioration of our society, of our nation.
10:52Stay wickedness of the human heart.
10:55While we are endeavoring to advance
10:57to develop all kinds of constructs, yes,
10:59let's deal with illegal immigration, yes,
11:01let's get sound fiscal policy, yes, let's deal with,
11:04You know, unjust scales and criminal justice, yes.
11:06But all of those things without addressing the main problem
11:10will continue to nip around the periphery
11:13without getting to the core.
11:16The most desperate and enduring need
11:19for the American people is repentance.
11:24That's right, greed.
11:26Greed is a feature of the human heart.
11:32Sexuality, I'm gonna get to a story today.
11:37The Department of Justice today announced
11:39the arrest of 205 people charged with child sex offenses.
11:44And I'll speak right to you,
11:45I mean, including one illegal immigrant,
11:47but 204 out of 205 people arrested
11:50were all American citizens.
11:56What's the problem there?
11:57Why is pornography so popular?
12:01Why?
12:04Because of the gravity of the human heart.
12:08And instead of using our resources
12:11and technological advances for God glorifying purposes,
12:16we've made the adjustment when Brother Don
12:17fighting against the smut magazines on convenience store,
12:22shelves, now the smuts not the magazines
12:25is in these little devices we call phones,
12:27but that microcomputers people carry in their pockets
12:30in purses.
12:34And it's something that's not merely entangling young people
12:37and boys increasing amounts of girls
12:40and women are being engineered by this.
12:42Guys, this is indicative of the human heart.
12:44And I'm not talking about this from some moralistic
12:48disposition. I'm talking about it because of the writing of the human heart that results in eternal
12:54damnation for those remain unrepentant. And when we have a massive population of the unrepentant in
13:04our nation, guess what? That's going to filter its way out into our culture. That's how you go from
13:12a time period where the idea of slaughtering one's unborn child would be unthinkable to a now where
13:18that people arguing for it as a constitutional right,
13:21that when you have the Supreme Court overturn the despicable
13:24Roe versus Wade decision in Planned Parenthood versus Casey,
13:27you have an increase in abortions
13:29and state policies advance because they're not merely
13:32surgical but they're chemical.
13:34What's really going on?
13:35People are attempting to deal with the consequences
13:39of sexual immorality.
13:44That's generally what we're talking about.
13:48I understand that there's circumstances
13:51of impoverished conditions and things of that nature.
13:54But folks, I just wanna say it plainly.
13:59Physical intimacy is not a need for the human,
14:02you won't die if you don't have it.
14:05You won't die.
14:07But our society treats that as if it's just as much of a need
14:11as oxygen and food and water.
14:20The problem is that we're a sin-laden people
14:27and society is thriving and pushing forward in such a way
14:31to have a modern resurgence of anti-nomionism.
14:36Simply says, well, just do it anything you want.
14:38God is so good.
14:40He's gracious.
14:42That's not God as he reveals in the scripture.
14:45That's the God that people have created in their own minds.
14:48And that is by and large, the most worship God in America.
14:51It is the God of self.
15:00A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
15:04We live in a world full of people who are living their lives.
15:06They're doing what they do.
15:07they work, they buy homes, they have children,
15:10they live their lives.
15:12But you know, the Word of God clearly tells a Sikh
15:14first, the kingdom of heaven, and it trashes us
15:16and all these things shall be added.
15:19Yet for many people again, their goals are,
15:22well, I'm just kind of seeking my own dream
15:23and one happiness, I want life, I want to be fulfilled,
15:27I want to do what I want to do.
15:29The purpose of life is not to fulfill our dreams,
15:32it's to fulfill God's dreams and how important it is.
15:35Lord speak to every listener.
15:38Help them to recognize, Lord, that you have a work and a will
15:41and a design for every one of our lives.
15:43You have a calling up on each of our lives.
15:45Our job is to be listening to your word and your spirit
15:49in doing what you call us to do.
15:51Help us to answer that call.
15:53We thank you in praise in Jesus' name.
15:55We do pray. Amen.
16:04Shiting light into the darkness.
16:07This is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
16:10Welcome back to the Hamilton corner Abraham Hamilton the third year.
16:13Lots of things happening all over the world.
16:15You have India and Pakistan standing off with each other when I'm just
16:20standing off.
16:22They shoot.
16:23They shoot at each other.
16:27You have as I mentioned that this FBI investigation that netted these
16:32child predators arrest.
16:36But I'll start here in this really picks up on something I reported yesterday.
16:40And this information broke after we got off the air yesterday.
16:48But it's rather convenient, I would say, and simply confirms what we've been reporting
16:58because to date with all of the liberation days, liberation day in America, believe me,
17:03it's liberation day.
17:05And President Trump easing tariffs on some nations, the main one he didn't ease up on
17:11was Giaen actually increased their tariffs.
17:15Of course, China announced the reciprocal increased tariffs.
17:18But then as I reported yesterday,
17:23riots breaking out all over China,
17:25millions of people hitting the streets,
17:2716 million jobs threatened.
17:29Factories closing without announcement,
17:30literally just open today, close tomorrow,
17:33open one day, close the next day,
17:36causing a little bit of a kerfuffle there,
17:39China secretly, white listing specific American produced manufactured items from their tariff
17:50regime. What were those things indicative of? Well, as I said yesterday, it's painful for
17:57all parties involved, but the Trump administration has posited that they believe that we, the United
18:05States of America, can endure more than China can. Well, to date, China had not been one of
18:11nations that had agreed to come to the negotiating table with the United States of America. That is
18:19now. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent went on air actually to share that the Trump trade team was
18:28planning to be in Switzerland this weekend to negotiate with the Swiss until they happen to be
18:36contacted by a Chinese delegation that said they wanted to have conversations in person
18:44with the Trump administration's trade team. So now talks are set between the United States of
18:49America and China regarding trade this Saturday and Sunday in Switzerland. Listen to and watch
18:57Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent talk about this. It is clip number four, clip four, go.
19:05The world has been coming to the U.S., and China has been the missing piece.
19:10I was going to be in Switzerland to negotiate with the Swiss.
19:15Turns out the Chinese team is traveling through Europe, and they will be in Switzerland also.
19:21So we will meet on Saturday and Sunday.
19:26And look, we have shared interest that this isn't sustainable, as I said before, especially
19:33on the Chinese side and 145% 125% is the equivalent of an embargo. We don't want to
19:41decouple what we want as fair trade. Very interesting, don't you think? Now,
19:48I know he's a Treasury Secretary and he's serving President Trump. I want to decouple from China,
19:53but of course he, I'm not saying he needs to say that. I want to decouple from China.
20:00But whether or not that's the most effective strategy to stay that out loud and trade now,
20:04right now, y'all that remains to be seen that as that's their prerogative.
20:07But when you see these things and they're aligning as they are, as I mentioned to you,
20:12riots, protests in China, factories closing, workers not being paid in China, it's affecting them.
20:23China whitelisting American manufacturing goods and products, it's affecting them.
20:27Now for the first time and I've didn't say this and my initial discourse on this point,
20:31China has confirmed these talks on their end.
20:34So they're admitting that they have sought an audience
20:37with the United States of America's trade delegation.
20:41And I find it very interesting that the US is in Switzerland,
20:46the Chinese just happened to be there.
20:47They just happened to be there.
20:51Now, of course, I have my thoughts.
20:54I'm pretty sure that the Chinese have been trying
20:56to cut side deals with nations all around the world
20:59try to get around needing to interact with the United States of America.
21:04But it's just a major thing when you have 40 plus percent of your exports going
21:08to one nation is kind of hard to replace that.
21:12You know, in every nation has to acknowledge that there is no consumer
21:17market in the world like the one in the United States of America.
21:21That's just a simple fact.
21:24That's just a simple fact.
21:26The United States of America has the largest population with the highest
21:29value of disposable income in the world.
21:32That's just a fact.
21:34So I find it very curious that the Chinese just happen to be in Switzerland at the same
21:41time that the US is there.
21:45Now I've said long before I've never been a tariff guy, but my posture has been from the
21:52very beginning of this.
21:53President Trump has earned the right for us to wait and see.
21:57It's very clear that the terrorists are never meant to be a permanent notion, but merely a
22:03strategy to assert leverage to provoke renegotiations.
22:11Think a clear objective has to be for the United States of America for reestablishment of our
22:15manufacturing sector.
22:19So I just find it very interesting and I felt the need to report this in light of what we
22:26talked about yesterday.
22:28It's pretty interesting that they just happen to be in Switzerland at the same time.
22:35We'll see what happens.
22:37We'll see what happens.
22:40But I wanted to bring that to your attention.
22:43Now this is another interesting development.
22:50This is on the global stage.
22:55Earlier today, what the difference is in time zone, so it's today, but the time zone in India
23:01is different than what it is now.
23:03people are aware India and Pakistan are nations that are adjacent to one another. All right,
23:09if you haven't seen pictures or watched video of the standoff of the Indian and Pakistan
23:16soldiers at the border, it is quite the display. All right, well, there have been
23:26strains between these two nations for a while, but about two weeks ago, there was a pretty significant
23:33attack on a portion of India, but it includes significant Pakistani influence in Kashmir,
23:49where 26 Indian tourists in the pahulgum town of Kashmir were murdered.
23:57All right.
23:59A day after the murders, an organization or group called the Kashmir Resistance, or
24:05also known as the resistance front TRF took credit for the attacks. The TRF is a well known
24:13Islamist terrorist outfit, but they're related. They're an offshoot of the Pakistan based
24:19Lakshar Itaiba or L, lowercase ET, L.E.T. is recognized as an Islamist terrorist organization in the
24:28US, United States of America regards them as a terrorist organization. They were all too eager
24:32to come out and to take credit for the attack.
24:38Well, early this morning, India launched missile strikes on both Pakistan and Pakistani
24:46administered parts of Kashmir, and the Pakistan government claimed that it shot down five Indian
24:53Air Force jets in quote unquote, self-defense.
24:58Now this is significant because both of these nations are known to have nuclear weapons.
25:08Listen to and watch this short report on what's happening between India and Pakistan.
25:14It's clip number two, clip two, go.
25:17These two countries now essentially on the brink of war.
25:21Those strikes into Pakistan early Wednesday morning local time were apparently in response
25:26to that terror attack that took place in Kashmir about two weeks ago, as you mentioned,
25:31killing 26 civilians, mostly Indian Hindu tourists. Now, we know India has blamed Pakistan for the
25:38attack, which notably read, was the deadliest attack against civilians in India in about
25:4317 years. Over night, the Indian government retaliated. It says that its forces have struck
25:49nine sites in Pakistan. And then this morning, Pakistani officials say the overall death
25:55has now risen to at least 31 people.
25:58You know, there's serious things to talk about one up,
26:03but I hear the report, Pakistan.
26:04Remember, Obama doing that, Pakistan?
26:06Like, why are you still doing that?
26:08He's in the middle talking regularly,
26:09like an American person.
26:10Hey, yes, we have hamburgers and hot dogs and Pakistan.
26:13I just, that always struck me as well.
26:16I was like, man, what'd you say back as the head?
26:19I guess what I'm gonna tell him how to say it,
26:21but I just thought that was odd.
26:24What you trying to do and press the word
26:25that you can say, I can say, pop too?
26:29Or I can say Park to or I can say to pop which one you want me to say
26:36Pakistan
26:38Anyway, India in Pakistan is standing off against one another though. They're both doing this. I didn't do it. He did it
26:48India is claiming that the Pakistani government is waging a proxy war against them using these terrorists
26:54Stop me if you've ever heard this before using the terrorists as a proxy for their efforts
26:59to attack Indian sovereignty.
27:03India is responded saying that we ain't gonna
27:07shoot us like that.
27:09We ain't gonna take this until you have this going back and forth.
27:13Similar attack happened back in 2008 in Mumbai.
27:16Terrorist groups again claimed credit, so to speak,
27:21for the murderous activities.
27:23India responded, Pakistan backs down.
27:28That's what has happened historically.
27:30I'm bringing this up primarily because these are two adjacent nations that are armed with
27:39nuclear weapons.
27:41So it's something that we, by God's grace, would want to see die down.
27:54And I can't help but think about, and this is specifically Indian civilians who were attacked.
28:00They weren't military targets, wasn't soldiers, they weren't tanks.
28:04These are tourists in a tourist town.
28:07I can't help but to think about the fact that if these people are not born again, having
28:15placed their faith in Christ Jesus, they have no hope for eternal life.
28:28And I'm grateful we have relationships with one brother, Passae, LA, Zara, living sacrifices,
28:33ministries in India, but he's in Southern India, not near where the Pakistani border is,
28:37who's doing an amazing work of proclaiming the gospel.
28:41Because of the prevalence of Hinduism, they have a very harsh cultural opposition towards
28:48orphans.
28:49And you have the two competing notions because prostitution is legal in India, but because
28:58of the prevalence of Hinduism when you have the inevitable consequences of physical intimacy
29:03between men and women, which is what children, you have lots of orphans.
29:10according to Hindu dispositions, they believe if there are orphaned children, it's because
29:14the orphans have done something in a previous life that's produced the bad karma to where
29:20they deserve to be orphans.
29:21So lots of people in India have other disdain for orphans.
29:26And the only people that would do anything for orphans in India are Christians.
29:29I pray that the gospel man would continue to penetrate this nation.
29:38I'm thankful for the relationships that I've been able to forge directly with living sacrifices,
29:42ministries in India.
29:43and I pray that the Lord would continue to resource them to allow them to expand the work.
29:48And Pastor Eliexar and his wife, they are amazing, man.
29:54They take these orphans in, they feed them, house them, clothe them, educate them, nurture them, and many of them,
30:02they train to become missionaries to go back into the various towns and villages to proclaim the gospel and make disciples.
30:13and it's amazing you go into Pastor Elliot's,
30:15Elliot's office, he has maps of where they've placed
30:19graduates from LSM all throughout the country.
30:21It's an amazing thing to see a man gospel is so needed there.
30:34So that's happening.
30:37Then we have this, and this will probably carry us over
30:39into the break with Tulsi Gabbard taking over
30:47as the head of the Department of National Intelligence.
30:51He just released a memo that the Joseph Robinette administration
30:57had created from the National Security Council
30:59that laid the foundation for what ultimately became
31:03investigations on parents that would,
31:05that had the audacity to question policies
31:08at their local school boards that led to FBI
31:12trying to spy on certain Catholic people in the country
31:15certain Catholic people in the country and all of these things.
31:24What we now know, thanks to Tosi Gabbard, is that the Joseph Robin
31:30administration had this memo directed to target Americans, quote,
31:35engaged in concerning non-criminal behavior.
31:40They did this in the name of fighting domestic terrorism with a specific focus
31:45on American citizens who were military service members, those who owned firearms, or those who
31:52spread what Biden administration officials considered to be quote unquote disinformation.
32:00I get into more, I'll get into more of this when we come back from the break.
32:05Because for many of us, it's more evidence confirming what we already knew.
32:09But when you see the formal steps that have been taken to literally turn
32:13our own government against private American citizens.
32:17It's sickening. It's sickening.
32:20And it makes me even the more grateful that we can stand and say that the Biden administration days have ended.
32:31But it also makes me wary as to how many long-term regressives have infiltrated the bureaucracy in our nation,
32:39who are all too eager to pursue this end,
32:42to from the inside to turn our nation
32:45into something else, kind of like fundamental transformation.
32:49Heard that one before?
32:51Still at work?
32:53More on the other side of the bridge.
32:54AFA action takes attacks on the family seriously.
33:03The enemies of the family constantly employ new tactics
33:06to try to sneak past our radar.
33:08They know if we stand together, their evil plans will fail.
33:11Your gift to AFA action allows us to stay vigilant
33:15against their onslaught.
33:16And if you give this month, you'll receive access to the
33:19Cultural Institute video when your faith is illegal by
33:22Frank Harbor on AFA Stream as our thanks.
33:25You can make your gift today at AFAAction.net.
33:29We today morning's at 8 Central.
33:31Pastor Jeff Shreve offers real truth for today.
33:34I'm the pastor of First Baptist Church in Texas and a
33:38founder of From His Heart Ministries.
33:40The world around us is rapidly changing.
33:42The God and His truth will never change.
33:45I may be the host of the show, but I want God's word and his truth to be the star of the show.
33:51Join Pastor Jeff Shreve each weekday morning at 8th Central for real truth for today on American Family Radio.
33:58The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Bitted Common Terrets are available at eFR.net
34:09back to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
34:13Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here.
34:19Before the break was talking about the memo that Tulsi Gabbard has now released.
34:25That set the formal foundation for the Biden administration to turn the investigative lens on
34:32private American citizens as potential purveyors of domestic terrorism. The June 2021 memo, that's
34:40where when it was drafted, June 2021, the June 2021 memo, which has now been exposed for the first
34:46time and exposes that the law enforcement and intelligence framework that led the FBI to monitor
34:53monitor and probe American citizens, including parents who has the audacity to protest against
35:00some school board policies, justified the utilization by Homeland Security to engage in
35:07censorship or the banking of Americans or spying on Americans at the administration deemed to be
35:16potential enemies of the state. Listen to this clip about this. We have no video for this one,
35:23but we have audio for it is clip number five, clip number five.
35:26The Biden administration authorized federal law enforcement four years ago to target Americans
35:32engaged in, quote, concerning non criminal behavior. Did this in the name of fighting domestic terrorism,
35:38but basically they were targeting people who weren't committing crimes. And had a specific
35:42guy on those serving in the military owning guns or spreading what officials considered
35:47to be disinformation, which in many cases turned out to be true information that the
35:51Biden administration just simply disagreed with.
35:54We now know this because Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, recently released
35:57a fully unredacted version of the prior administration's, quote, strategic implementation plan for
36:03countering domestic terrorism.
36:05It might otherwise be known as the plan to get conservatives.
36:15decades, the threshold or the standard that federal government law enforcement agents had
36:21to apply, sorry, comply with, with stringent stringent requirements that were needed in order
36:29to open criminal or national security investigations, it had to satisfy a certain it's called predicate.
36:36The predicate for full investigation required quote, an articulable factual basis that reasonably
36:41indicates a crime or national security threat has or is about to occur.
36:47Guys, this is documented in the publicly available Attorney General's guidelines for domestic
36:52FBI operations.
36:54However, what the J. Robinette administration did was to lower the standard from an articulable
37:04factual basis that reasonably indicates criminal activity or national security threat.
37:11To mere quote unquote concerning
37:14Behavior to not have to have any it's concerning
37:21Behavior well thankfully that has been exposed and again for many of us that simply confirms what we
37:28Already
37:29Suspect it what was happening, but it shows
37:34That this is the the formal steps that were employed in order to move in the direction that it moved and again
37:41And it just brings it to the fore, how many of the people that were willing to carry out
37:50these, frankly, illegal activities against American citizens?
37:56You know, whenever I talk to people about the Second Amendment, I remind them that the
38:00true purpose of the Second Amendment was to provide American people a recourse against
38:04an overbearing national government.
38:07You understand that?
38:10That's one of the major reasons why we don't suffer the fate, I wouldn't say the circumstances
38:19that people in Venezuela are suffering right now.
38:21Like, do you realize in the last election that they had in Venezuela where the people clearly
38:28asserted that they voted to get Maduro out, but Maduro just declared himself a winner.
38:33Now, all of the people have the audacity to run against Maduro.
38:37Many of them have had to escape the country to save their lives.
38:40of them are dead, others have been secretly arrested and they're locked up and their family
38:44members don't even know where they are.
38:46And one of the major reasons why is that the Venezuelan people have no recourse to protect
38:53themselves because the Venezuelan government has all the gun.
38:58I'm not an advocate for it nor am I calling for violence, but totalitarianism has always
39:10followed an initial salvo that imposed gun control on an unwitting society. Hence my refrain,
39:21the only vote for socialism wants in the Venezuelan people voted for Hugo Chavez. And now they regret
39:29it desperately. I alluded to this story. And then think about this, man, that the United
39:41States government sought a foundation to spy on our own military servicemembers. Think about
39:50that people who have and are serving our country to put their lives on the line to protect our
39:59freedoms yet our own government says, and we need to spy on them. Then to this announcement,
40:17in many ways, I and many others have been disappointed with some of the things that have not yet
40:26transpired at the Department of Justice under Pam Bondi and with Cash Patel at the FBI. I mean,
40:31Remember that big bruja ha about?
40:34Oh, you're going to get the F-steering files.
40:35Oh, really?
40:36What happened to that?
40:43Well, I want to share this story, but I'm sharing this for a couple reasons.
40:48As I've alluded to, the Department of Justice announced today that the FBI has
40:53arrested 205 child sex predators and offenders throughout the country in an
40:59operation called Operation Restored Justice.
41:02It was part of a nationwide crackdown on child sex trafficking and trafficking
41:06and abuse. And thankfully, it included the rescue of 115 children. This is an America, man.
41:16This is an America. Listen to and watch this clip. It's clip number three, clip number three.
41:23Go. Today, we are proud to announce the results of the FBI's Operation Restore
41:30Justice Initiative. This historic, unprecedented, and nation wide operation led to the arrest of
41:37205 child sex predators, unbelievable in just five days.
41:46This was an incredible operation done in conjunction with the FBI and our prosecutors.
41:54Children and their families now have a chance to heal.
41:58These are online predators.
42:01Think about this.
42:03115 victims, victims, children.
42:08In five days, we were able to help.
42:16I said this in the early, the first segment,
42:20these 205 people that were arrested,
42:22that's not illegal aliens.
42:23One of them was, one of them was an illegal alien from Mexico.
42:27The 204, the 205 were not illegal aliens.
42:32You talking about American citizens?
42:35I'll never forget my first time experiencing this.
42:39I was a prosecutor in Houston, Texas,
42:41And the Super Bowl was being played in Houston, Texas.
42:48And I had to be a part of a briefing
42:51from the sex crimes unit because they explained
42:56how prostitution and sex trafficking exponentially
43:00is amplified surrounding the Super Bowl.
43:03I was like, what?
43:07Was brings me back the very first thing we started off
43:10with Matthew chapter 15.
43:15Guys, our nation has degraded to the place
43:19to where there is an abundance of perversion and rebellion,
43:29an abundance of it in our nation.
43:31And there are strident efforts of foot
43:36to normalize the wickedness.
43:42Why is it that things are at such a place
43:44where we can have an investigation
43:46that nets a five day operation,
43:49that nets 205 people,
43:52get arrested for child sex offenses?
43:59Why is it?
44:02Why is it that you have this phenomenon where you can have this thing called only fans
44:11and you have young ladies saying, who needs a job?
44:13I just need to be and I don't want to be insulting, but to be an online prostitute
44:19and perform degrading acts for money.
44:27Guys, there's a, there's a, there is a sickness in our nation and I believe the
44:32prevalence of pornography is indicative of the sickness.
44:37It is a sin sickness that has become normalized.
44:41And I thank God for the voices that are objecting to it and attempting to work with people and
44:56to help people get free from these various bondages.
44:59But it's not enough.
45:00It's not enough.
45:10The most desperate and enduring need for our nation is repentance, man.
45:14I want to make this as plain as I can make it.
45:18America will never be a great nation when sin is the most prevalent national currency.
45:25Never.
45:26And there's never been a time when America has been perfect, no doubt about it.
45:31But you would have to lie to yourself to say that there hasn't been times where America
45:36had a greater, there I say, conviction concerning our duty toward God and the resulting duty we
45:47have towards our fellow man.
45:49And I know about the horrors of the histories of slavery and Jim Crow and all of those things.
46:00many have used that history as an impetus to further degenerate in rebellion.
46:12When the answer all along is repentance, I've said numerous times and I will continue to say
46:29cries for justice, void of the cross will only result in the pursuit of vengeance only.
46:37And it is true it will never be perfect until Jesus returns.
46:46that shouldn't cause us to not to refuse to strive towards what is necessary.
46:52Earlier this week, I've been talking about a well-resourced person or nation that
46:58does not have the internal composition and disposition to manage those resources.
47:02They simply become purveyors and weapons of mass destruction.
47:09Like Jose, I'm sorry.
47:10Yeah, Jose confronted the Israelites, a luxuriant vine, but the rich of your land,
47:16The more you produce this, I dollars your sacred pillars.
47:26Guys, I am saying this because I know there are lots
47:30of other people that are talking about.
47:31We need constitution fidelity.
47:32We need a restoration.
47:33We need military vigor.
47:35We need sound banking policies.
47:37We need this to happen in educational front.
47:39But we need more people saying that in order
47:41for all of those other things to work well,
47:43we need a repentant people.
47:47We need a repentant people.
47:54And without a repentant people,
47:58we are going to continue to see the types of
48:03degradations that have become popular to discuss today.
48:14In order to enjoy this, experiment itself government.
48:19We need a people who are self-governed.
48:25Explain before people try to say,
48:26oh yeah, we can secure morality without Jesus,
48:29based on who standards.
48:33We have people that have an atheistic framework
48:34that have to borrow from a biblical worldview
48:36to even assert notions like justice and fairness.
48:42I didn't come from an atheistic godless worldview.
48:45You have to borrow from a biblical worldview
48:48to adopt that into your framework.
48:51But here's a not so secret secret.
48:54We can never side step God to enjoy what God produces.
49:00To enjoy the fruit that is available to us
49:03through submission to the Lord,
49:05but we avoid seeking the Lord.
49:12We cannot be cultural Christians
49:17and enjoy the culture that Christianity produces.
49:20So by God's grace, as these other things are happening, what must happen is that men and
49:31women must come to the foot of the cross and recognize that we're all desperately in need
49:36of the safety.
