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 here on American Family Radio.
0:39I am your host, Abraham Hamilton III, joined by the Corner Contingent, Mr. Bobby Tariffman
0:48Rosa.
0:50He's not really the Tariff Man.
0:54That would be Mr. Trump.
0:58We are joined by produce extraordinaire often imitate it never duplicated the real J Mac is in the screening room ladies and gentlemen and we are ready to rock and roll with this edition of the program.
1:08There is a lot that transpired over the weekend much of it actually started with a latter part of last weekend trade deals actually framework for trade deals first the UK that was the first domino to drop then Jaina.
1:26China framework for a trade deal with China. You had the cessation of hostilities between
1:35India and Pakistan, had eaten Alexander, the American, Israeli who was taking hostage. I was
1:43learning about his story. Actually, the first male abducted by Hamas on October 7th. The young
1:51man literally had recently graduated from high school because he had dual citizenship, took a
1:58gap year and during which he joined the Israeli Defense Forces and have been
2:02taking captive there and he had been in Hamas custody for 584 days. Wow.
2:10Thankfully, he's now been released and returned to his family. So much is
2:19happening. I know the day was yesterday but let me wish all the moms who are
2:25listening to this program right now are happy belated Mother's Day. I hope you
2:30were celebrated yesterday and that you were able to celebrate as well because moms are central
2:39to God's plan for building His kingdom.
2:44The world should be grateful to and for mothers.
2:53In contrary to what the world says, I know and more importantly, the scripture explains
3:02that being a mother is one of the most important people
3:07in the entire world.
3:09And while we are grateful, grateful to God for you.
3:13At this very moment, many of you,
3:15if not most of you are making your transition
3:18from your part-time jobs where you generate an income
3:21to your full-time jobs where you cultivate an outcome.
3:26And as you do so, I'd remind you to do so
3:29with intentionality, understanding the primacy
3:33that God places on family recognizing that if you are in the place and in the stage where
3:39young people, young children in your home or children regardless of how young they are,
3:45to understand that you don't get to repeat ages.
3:50So what we must do, we must do quickly and I'll just add into this exhortation that intentional
4:02teaching and instruction is important.
4:07But some of the most important teaching
4:08that we are going to do is the teaching
4:10that is done by our examples.
4:15And this is one of those areas where there's no middle ground.
4:20Our examples will either be runways
4:23or obstacle courses for our children.
4:26Our examples will be guide posts and runways
4:30for our children to see and do likewise,
4:32or it will be obstacle courses that our children
4:38will have to overcome and to avoid and duck under, climb over, dodge in order to fulfill
4:44God's purposes for their lives.
4:46And the simple fact is that there's no middle ground.
4:50It is either a runway or obstacles.
4:53Of course, there could be a combination.
4:55But when there is a combination, you actually end up diluting the potency of the runway
5:01version, if you will.
5:03With that, let us turn to the word of God.
5:05Deuteronomy 4 is where we're going to go.
5:08Deuteronomy 4 is as we celebrate and celebrated mothers, I just want to take a few moments to
5:21point you to Scripture to where God provides us in His holy word a vision.
5:27He casts a vision for us for not only the stage of life as mothers and fathers, but also grandmothers
5:36and grandfathers. God has given us in his word a rope map, if you will, or should I say a vision
5:43for the grand parental life stage. Deuteronomy chapter 4, just by way of reminded,
5:50the book of Deuteronomy is the Deuterocanical expression of Moses. It simply means second-telling.
5:57He recounts much of what is recorded in numbers and Leviticus, but he does so
6:00for a new audience, if you will.
6:04The second generation of wilderness Israelites
6:06are receiving instruction from Moses
6:08through the Book of Deuteronomy
6:10in anticipation and preparation
6:13for entrance into the Promised Land.
6:15That's what the Book of Deuteronomy is.
6:17Many you'll recall every Israelite
6:22over the age of 20 years old,
6:24except for Caleb in Joshua,
6:27passed away in the wilderness
6:28before entering the Promised Land.
6:31There were children who came out of Egypt,
6:32who became adults in the wilderness.
6:34There were actually children who were born in the wilderness.
6:37And so Moses is preparing a second generation.
6:42And here Moses is being basically quoted in this passage,
6:47Deuteronomy 4, verses 5 through 9,
6:49I don't think I said that yet.
6:50Deuteronomy 4, verses 5 through 9.
6:52And this is what the Word of God says,
6:54see I have taught you statutes and judgments.
6:58Just as the Lord my God commanded me,
7:01that you should do thus in the land where you are entering to possess it.
7:08Term of page.
7:11So keep and do them for that is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the
7:16peoples who will hear all these statutes and say, surely this is, sorry,
7:21surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people for what great
7:27nation is there that has a good, for what great nation is there that has a God so
7:33near to it as is the Lord our God, whenever we call on him.
7:40Or what great nation is there that has statutes and judgments as righteous as this whole law,
7:47which I am setting before you today, only give heed to yourself and keep your soul diligently
7:54so that you do not forget the things which your eyes have seen, and they do not depart
8:01from your heart all the days of your life, but make them known to your sons and grandsons.
8:09Some translations there say, says, make them known to your children and your grandchildren.
8:16This is one of not the exclusives, but one of the passages of Scripture that the Spirit of God
8:23moves Moses to convey that these second-generation wilderness Israelites should have a vision already
8:31in their hearts and minds for how their lives are to impact their grandchildren.
8:39This is the duterochanical expression of the same principle in Proverbs 13, 22, which says
8:46that a good man leaves it inheritance for his children's children.
8:50No doubt about it.
8:51The text in Proverbs is regarding material inheritance, but it is not excluding the non-material portions
8:59of the inheritance that a good man would leave.
9:01And I would argue that in many ways, the non material portions are even more important.
9:06The material is important, but it's not more important than the non material.
9:11And I want you to take note of the manner in which this is expressed, you, my brother,
9:19my sister should be cognizant of the prospective impact and influence that you could have that
9:26you should have on your children and grandchildren.
9:29looking what it says. But in order to have that type of impact in a godly way, I would say,
9:37the text says in verse 9, only give heed to yourself. Consider yourself keeping your soul
9:45diligently. What Moses is saying very clearly is that one of the primary ways
9:54that you can set the course for influencing the generations that follow you in a godly manner
10:00is by how you and I live now.
10:05As we celebrate and have celebrated Mother's Day,
10:09can we also have a vision for grandmothers?
10:12Can we have a vision for grandfathers?
10:16Do you want to be the kind of pop pop?
10:18Whether grandchildren are being told,
10:19well, you know, pop pop pop, you know,
10:21he was a role in stone.
10:22You know, it won't be like pop pop in these areas.
10:24Or do you want to be able to say, yeah, man,
10:26granddad, granddad was diligent.
10:29He kept his soul diligently.
10:31His work ethic reflected his commitment to his Lord.
10:35He was a worshiper and all he did.
10:37And it is because of his influence that I have been postured and positioned in this
10:41kind of way.
10:42And it is the cumulative impact of granddad and for me, your father, that we have
10:46laid the foundation for you to build from son to move towards godliness.
10:52Grandmothers, what kind of legacy do you want to have as a grandmother?
10:54And I know we have many grandmothers and grandfathers in this audience.
10:58We have some people who are not grandmothers and grandfathers.
11:00Regardless of your life stage by the Lord's grace,
11:05should the Lord tear in his reality?
11:07Yes, we should live as if the Lord is at hand because he is.
11:10The believer rightly has an earnest expectation of Jesus' return.
11:15And it is because we have that earnest expectation of Jesus' return
11:19that we live and we work while it is day.
11:21Because Jesus has given us commands as to how we are to conduct ourselves
11:26in anticipation of his return.
11:28return. So it's not an either or is a both end because heaven is my home and I cannot
11:35wait to behold my king face to face that it informs and influences the way I live right now
11:42and should my Lord Terry to the place to where I'm blessed to see my grandchildren,
11:48I want to have a godly impact on the lives of my grandchildren. I want to leave the type of example
11:55that the scripture lays out here so that we give heed to ourselves and keep our souls diligently
12:07so that we do not forget the things which the Lord has done in our lives, the things that our eyes
12:13have seen, that these things will not depart from our hearts all the days of our lives,
12:21but make them known to our children and our grandchildren. A mindful of my brother JJ's testimony,
12:28how he talked about his grandmother praying for him.
12:31But that's the enduring memory in his mind and his heart.
12:35Was his grandmother stretched out in prayer for him particularly?
12:40And then when God saved his soul, the Lord reminded him,
12:44but your grandmother prayed for you.
12:46And he's testifying right here in this studio,
12:48sitting right in his chair, his eyes dripping with tears.
12:52That he's a living testimony to God answering his grandmother's prayers.
12:56Guys, this is real.
13:05This is real.
13:06One of the components of being a Christ follower is that God gives us generational view.
13:10We recognize that we live for eternity from eternity and our lives are not our own.
13:17We've been bought with the price that will will for servants of our King and by God's grace,
13:25our lives could be an introduction of those around us to the discipline of Christ following.
13:32vitally important that the body of Christ rediscovers, first and foremost, the
13:38centrality of the family of God's plan for His kingdom.
13:41Secondarily, the significance of fathers and mothers.
13:45Thirdly, they recognize that not only the significance of fathers and mothers, but
13:51that grandfathers and grandmothers has the capacity to influence their children
13:58in a Godward direction, and their grandchildren in a Godward direction.
14:03but the bulk of fulcrum, the most potent components of that influence is going to come from our lived
14:09examples. Only give heed to yourself and keep your soul diligently so that you do not forget the
14:18things which your eyes have seen and they do not depart from your heart all the days of your life
14:23but make them known to your children and your grand children. The Word of God gives us vision
14:32for the grand parental stage of our lives.
14:36And we would do well to recognize
14:38that we put feet to that vision
14:40starting right here and right now.
14:43What type of legacy by God's grace
14:45do you want to leave for your grandchildren?
14:48Lord willing, even your great-grandchildren.
14:50It's going to turn on the quality
14:53of the lack thereof with which we live
14:55before the risen King.
14:57A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
15:03What should a pro-life church look like?
15:07It's a church that will prayerfully consider encouraging members to volunteer at local pregnancy centers
15:12and to volunteer for other pro-life ministries.
15:16It's a church that would prayerfully consider supporting a baby closed closet with diapers, clothes,
15:22wipes, and other needed items.
15:24It's a church that will prayerfully consider becoming a sanctuary church.
15:28They will help moms who find themselves expecting a baby at a difficult time.
15:33They will come alongside a mother who feels all alone and walk with her through her term of pregnancy and beyond.
15:39It's a church that will learn about important pro-life outreach miniatures that are doing vital work to
15:45In legalized abortion in different ways. Am I really seeking to honor the Lord in doing what he would have me to do?
15:52As an individual disciple of Christ to help stand for life.
16:05Shining light into the darkness, this is the Hamilton Quarter, an American family radio.
16:11Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham,
16:13Hamilton the third here.
16:17Boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, things.
16:20What an eventful weekend.
16:23Really dating back to the latter part of last weekend.
16:27I had this story in my stack, I didn't get to it,
16:29but I feel like it's appropriate to announce this
16:33to address it now when to do so first
16:35because the first major nation domino, if you will,
16:39to drop in this economic, I would say, resettling on the global stage, which really I think is
16:51for once and for all exposed to fallacy that has been globalization, you know, globalism
16:56and, you know, free trade.
16:58Thanks to President Trump, the whole world, and more importantly, the American citizens,
17:04I'll say this frankly, are being confronted with the fact and being introduced to just
17:08how unfair the international trade scheme has been.
17:15So the latter part of last week, the announcement was made both from the United States of America
17:22and from the United Kingdom that the framework for a trade deal had been established between
17:27the United States of America and the United Kingdom.
17:30Listen to and watch clip number two, clip number two, go.
17:35I don't think that was clip number two.
17:41I thought the Bible is about the breakouts.
17:43This morning, I'm thrilled to announce that we have reached a breakthrough trade deal with
17:47the United Kingdom.
17:49Incredible country.
17:51Today is a victory day for World War II.
17:54We won the war together exactly 80 years ago.
17:58Today's agreement with the UK is the first in a series of agreements on trade that my
18:02administration has been negotiating over the past four weeks.
18:07The deal includes billions of dollars of increased market access for American exports,
18:12especially in agriculture, dramatically increasing access for American beef, ethanol, and virtually
18:20all of the products produced by our great farmers.
18:24In addition, the U.K. will reduce or eliminate numerous non-tariff barriers that unfairly
18:30discriminated against American products.
18:33But this is now turning out, I think, really to be a great deal for both countries.
18:37Now with these trade deals, the framework was announced, and the announced provisions of
18:43the frameworks and obviously the details will have to be, we'd have to delve into the details
18:48once they're available.
18:52But what has been announced to date between the United States of America and the United
18:56Kingdom is that Britain's tariffs on U.S. goods will drop to 1.8 percent, yet the United
19:04kingdom will still have a 10% tariff on imports from the United
19:14Kingdom. In addition to that, the framework allows for the
19:21importation from the United Kingdom of 100,000 vehicles for
19:2610% tariff. And the United Kingdom will also be allowed to
19:31export to the US Rolls Royce engines and airplane park port,
19:34I'm sorry, and airplane parts to the United States, Tara free and Britain will purchase
19:41$10 billion worth of Boeing airplanes from the United States.
19:47All of this was announced Thursday last week.
19:51Then you may recall last week I covered for you how China was saying publicly pounding
19:59its chest that well the Americans are raising tears on us.
20:03We're going to raise our tariffs on the Americans, on American goods, 125%.
20:08So the US was at 145% after April 2nd.
20:14China was at 125% on American goods.
20:17Our trade war, trade war, trade war.
20:20The US Treasury Secretary said those rates, tariff rates are effectively an embargo from
20:25both nations.
20:26Then what happened was a little birdie slid me a little note.
20:30See, wait a minute, China is whitelisting certain US goods,
20:34exempting them from the tariff increase.
20:38Then Peru's a little bit of the going zone in Jaine,
20:43and I found that they had factories in their nations,
20:47in their nation, closing overnight.
20:49Like a factory worker would go to work one day,
20:53then the next morning would go back to work,
20:54and the factory was closed.
20:56Others have been going to work,
21:00and they were expecting their paycheck,
21:03And the two weeks went by and no pay.
21:07So that led to all kinds of protests breaking out
21:10all over China.
21:11And I reported that to you.
21:13Then as that was being reported,
21:16I then reported the United States of America
21:18was planning to send its trade delegation to Switzerland,
21:24to negotiate with the Swiss.
21:27But in preparations for that trip,
21:29the Chinese contacted the US trade delegation
21:33said, um, might we have a word with you while you are in
21:40Switzerland? We like to have a conversation. Of course, they
21:43say that way. What's that thought was, Oh, and I told you
21:48guys that wasn't a part of the original plan. But then that
21:52happened. And so as I said, the plan was it will start
21:56talking. They would have two days of discussions, culminating
22:02this over the weekend, which led to first president Trump
22:06announcing it on social media. And then this morning, you had press conferences, even a
22:11joint statement issued by the United States and China indicating that the two nations,
22:17the two largest economies in the world had come to a framework of an agreement between
22:26the two countries, listen to and watch clip number three, clip three, go.
22:32Yesterday, we achieved a total reset with China.
22:36After productive talks in Geneva, both sides now
22:41agreed to reduce the tariffs imposed after April 2nd
22:45to 10 percent for 90 days as negotiators continue
22:49in the largest structural issues.
22:52And I want to tell you that a couple of things.
22:55First of all, that doesn't include the tariffs that are
22:58already on, that are our tariffs.
23:00And it doesn't include tariffs on cars, steel, aluminum, things such as that.
23:06Or tariffs that may be imposed on pharmaceuticals because we want to bring the pharmaceutical businesses
23:12back to the United States.
23:13And they're already starting to come back now based on tariffs because they don't want
23:18to pay 25, 50 or 100% tariffs.
23:21Are they moving them back to the United States?
23:26Now, I will talk a little bit about the details that we have in the framework.
23:32Can we just pause for a moment?
23:34Because the UK announcement was a big deal.
23:38But this thing with China, this is very significant.
23:45I'm just going to tell you now, now that China has entered this 90-day pause with an adjustment of tariff rates,
23:52but it does not include the adjustment of tariff rates that were in place prior to April 2nd.
23:58Okay, I'm going to get to that in a moment.
24:00I'm just going to tell you, you should expect to see more of these deals announced going
24:09forward because all that has to happen is one or two of the big dogs come to a place of negotiation
24:15and then everybody else is going to recognize because the United States and China are the
24:19two largest economies in the world.
24:21You know, all right.
24:22Most of the people that produce stuff and buy stuff at some point they're interacting with
24:26the United States and China.
24:27That's just a fact.
24:28All right.
24:33So what are some of the particularities?
24:39First, both sides have agreed to reduce their tariff percentages by 115%.
24:46So what that means is, and this is on 115% on the post April 2nd, tariff increase.
24:53So on that front, both the US and China had reduced back to 10%
24:58tariffs reciprocally a piece.
25:01However, that does not include the tariffs that exist before that were in
25:04place from the US against China before April 2nd. So the effective rates, according to the
25:09joint statement that will take effect as of Wednesday in this particular manner, will
25:15be 10% on US imports to China and 30% tears on Chinese imports to the United States of
25:23America. This is a part of a 90 day pause in which further negotiations are going to
25:36take place. The U.S. Secretary, sorry, Treasury Secretary has announced that Terrace won't
25:42decline from this level, but the deal was brokered this weekend to bring an end to the trade embargo
25:49between the world's largest, two largest economies and is the end of de-escalation. Now, as you
25:59might imagine. Bobby can tell you how the markets responded. But this, this is a very significant
26:12development. Now, obviously the details are going to matter much. The 90 day framework is
26:21put in place simply basically to allow the two nations to continue negotiation on the additional
26:28details between that are going to be in place for trade between the nations.
26:32But when you have an agreement to negotiate, that basically says everybody puts the six
26:37shooters away while we hammer this thing out, it's kind of a big deal.
26:42It's kind of a big deal.
26:43And this does not, this reduction doesn't include, as I said, the pre April 2nd tariffs that the
26:49Trump administration had imposed concerning fentanyl, those are still in place.
26:53But this is a very big deal.
26:55The joint statement released by the two nations reads thus May 12, 2025, the government of
27:01the United States of America and the government of the People's Republic of China recognizing
27:06the importance of their bilateral economic and trade relationship to both countries and
27:10the global economy, recognizing the importance of a sustainable long term, mutually beneficial
27:15economic and trade relationship, reflecting on their discussions and believing that continued
27:22discussions have the potential to address the concerns of each side in their economic and
27:25trade relationship and moving forward in the spirit of mutual opening continued communication
27:31and cooperation.
27:32I'm sorry, continued communication cooperation and mutual respect.
27:36The parties commit to take the following actions by May 14 2025 and it goes on to talk about
27:41the details of the framework agreement that was brokered that the two nations have jointly
27:47announced today, which is a big deal.
27:50Now I'm gone. I look, I got a, I got a drum and I'm going to keep beating it. I think
27:54this is a good step. I believe we ultimately need to decouple from China. I do believe that's
28:01important for our national security. I think this is an effective step in the right direction.
28:08I think we need to deal with China as China is and has expressed itself to be, which is
28:14a nation that seeks to to, to thwart our nation. They're in the enemy of our nation, no doubt
28:19about it. But we also have to deal in the world as it exists currently. So you can't,
28:27you hear the old expression wrong wasn't built in the day. You cannot do everything all at once,
28:33but this is a gigantic leap in the right direction. And y'all know my stance when President Trump is
28:40wrong, he's wrong. When he's right, he's right. And the mainstream media is not going to do this.
28:46The lying snakes are not going to do this. President Trump needs to be applauded in this
28:50there's not been a president within the last half century that's been willing to take China.
28:56There hasn't been one. There hasn't been one. On this, he needs to be applauded. What else
29:05would have brought the Chinese to the negotiation table? Certainly what a send-and-old crack
29:11aid hunter over there, Air Force II, to secure another bag for the big guy, that sure sure
29:17when you want to do it, you know.
29:20So, and if you, you know, you follow the stock markets,
29:26and some reports is indicating that all that had been lost
29:31in the stock market when the tariffs were initially announced,
29:34that's all been recovered.
29:37So some of you who have 401Ks and things of that nature,
29:41you probably want to check your statements,
29:45you probably want to check.
29:47And of course, this is just, you know,
29:48the stock market follows all, and this is very early.
29:51but it's a pretty, pretty, pretty significant deal.
29:56All right, that's where
30:00President Trump should be applauded.
30:01Now we have this other deal.
30:03I'm not so sure about this one.
30:08Because this morning,
30:10the other thing you had to say, man,
30:11President Trump works.
30:12I mean, he hit the ground running.
30:13It doesn't seem like he stopped at all.
30:14It doesn't seem like that.
30:16I mean, you got this going and you got that going on.
30:19He does little things to keep, you know,
30:21the line media buzzing, you know,
30:23throws things out there and they go,
30:24was a Gulf of Mexico Gulf of Mexico Gulf of America. Oh, go from America. Ah, China tariff. You know,
30:34oh, well, you know, hey, I'm out one. Don't rule it out. Don't rule Greenland. Won't rule it out.
30:38Won't rule it out. Promise you to go drug prices. It's it's it's something to watch.
30:48It's something to watch. Now, as I mentioned, the pharmaceutical, by the way, let me let me add
30:54this in real quick. I probably finished this segment with this. Bijasi, this story, and this
30:59This is on the cultural front and really a biblical worldview front.
31:03So do you remember how the employees at Disney and executives at Disney went overboard?
31:15Ron DeSantis, Ron DeSantis and they lied about the legislation that was passed in Florida,
31:21Florida Plast legislation that said you can't talk about sexual orientation and pre-K kindergarten,
31:27first grade, second grade and third grade.
31:28Can't you talk about it?
31:30And these liars went on and on saying, he passed a don't say gay bill.
31:35Remember that?
31:36Lying through that thing.
31:37That's not even what the legislation said.
31:38Did you see what just happened with Disney?
31:43You know what the next Disney world theme park is being opened?
31:47Where's it gonna be opened?
31:49Uh huh.
31:51Abu Dhabi.
31:52The United Arab Emirates.
31:56You know what happens to people who are charged with the crime of homosexuality in Abu
32:01Dhabi?
32:03It's a capital crime.
32:06It's a capital offense.
32:08So I'll just ask you this question.
32:09Do you think the people over at Disney
32:12were having a principal stance
32:14when they were objecting to what was happening
32:17around the Santas?
32:21It's perverts, man.
32:22They want to corrupt American children,
32:25but they'll avoid the ability to corrupt
32:28Emirati's children as long as they can, you know,
32:33put another theme part.
32:35And Abu Dhabi is just shows the utter hypocrisy,
32:38but it also should highlight for you just how insidious and how evil some of these people at Disney are
32:43Is they want to corrupt your kids, but if the price is right, you know
32:47We'll abandon the children corrupting phenomena as long as we can get Mickey out there next to the Abu Dhabi Emiratis

34:04The Hamilton Quarter Podcast
34:06and One-Minute Common Terrors are available
34:08at efr.net.
34:10back to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
34:15Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner,
34:16Abraham Hamilton the third here.
34:18You know, it's these people, man.
34:27They're one for double standards,
34:28they're one having these standards at all.
34:30And when you see the insidious effort,
34:33you see what these people have done
34:35with Walt Disney's legacy, you know?
34:37It is really, really disturbing
34:40because they'll use the money
34:42that they're gonna make from Abu Dhabi
34:45to continue to try to voice their agenda on countries
34:49that don't have the boldness or don't employ
34:54the legal framework to say, no, you can't do that.
34:59You know, when you think about,
35:01and I think about this a lot,
35:02that we're the nation, we're the world where, you know,
35:05moving pictures were introduced to the world
35:07from our country.
35:08He used to have a code called the William Hayes code.
35:11Some portions of it were just like, come on, man,
35:13but a lot of it had, there were a lot of good things in it
35:15because they recognize the influence that moving pictures would have on people.
35:19And on society and the culture,
35:22what the moving pictures used as a technological innovation developed to the
35:25place where you could have them,
35:29you know,
35:29used to have things like you would never create a moving picture where evil would
35:33triumph. You know,
35:34they had codes for sexual ethics,
35:37how you depict married people to hold deal, you know?
35:40And then as it stands right now,
35:42somebody's saying people, they'll make a film and they'll edit it for China.
35:46and they'll edit it for the Muslim nations,
35:48but they'll foist all the smut on our own nation.
35:50And now you have Disney doing the same thing.
35:52You think they're gonna have a man
35:54hopping around in the dress doing Hansel and Gretel and Abu Dabi?
35:58You think that?
36:00Nah, that ain't gonna happen.
36:03They're sure gonna use the profits
36:05and try to influence the minds of the American people
36:10and other Western nations.
36:13It's really sickening.
36:14It's really sickening.
36:17All right, I was getting to this where,
36:20where they're competing notions.
36:26And this is related to President Trump's executive order
36:28that he announced today.
36:29I'll give kind of an overview that I have a clip for you on it.
36:33And that is President Trump and his effort
36:36to deliver on his promise, to put America first,
36:41signed an executive order this morning,
36:44targeted at slashing prescription drug costs
36:48for the American people.
36:51The simple fact, and this is one of the things
36:53that many people may not even be aware of,
36:55that you can have the exact same medication produced
36:58by the exact same company with the exact same branding,
37:02sold two, three, four, five times more
37:07in terms of costs here in America
37:09with exact same medication in another nation
37:12is exponentially cheaper.
37:14Like you have some medications that are $2,000
37:16in America that's 20 bucks overseas from the same company.
37:22Because what's happened, what's happening, I should say,
37:28if you have any international travel experience,
37:30especially in certain countries,
37:32what you pay is called the American tax.
37:34You heard of that?
37:35I know you experienced that, Bobby.
37:36Certain nations you go, oh, they see you coming.
37:40They detect your American.
37:41The price all of a sudden goes up.
37:44And that's a crude representation,
37:46but that's what's happening
37:47with the pharmaceutical drug industry.
37:49And a lot of it is happening
37:52because a lot of the medication costs
37:53are covered by insurance.
37:54And so, a lot of people don't even look at what it costs
37:59to just see what the insurance companies are billed.
38:02That's what's happening largely.
38:04You ever had the experience to go to a hospital,
38:06go to a medical care provider,
38:08and you tell them your cash pay,
38:10and see how the price changes.
38:12Like, wait a minute, why doesn't this cost?
38:16I'm getting beside myself on this.
38:20But President Trump, hearing the cries of the American peoples,
38:23you know, why is my insulin so much more,
38:25the exact same insulin in another country
38:27That's produced by an American,
38:28American, American pharmaceutical company.
38:30Why does it cost me so much more?
38:33Where President Trump issued his executive order,
38:36signed his executive order today,
38:38in which he will roll out a quote,
38:40most favored nation policy,
38:43where he simply is asserting that the United States
38:44of America's citizens are gonna pay
38:47what other citizens around the world pay.
38:50Listen to him talk about this policy.
38:52It's clip number four, clip four, go.
38:54Why doesn't somebody fight the drug price situation,
38:57meaning equalization.
38:58There's a term.
38:59It's called equalization.
39:01Nobody wants to mention that term.
39:04And I'm not knocking the drug companies.
39:05I'm really more knocking the countries than the drug
39:08companies because they're forced to do things.
39:12But the drug lobby is the strongest lobby in this country.
39:17They say the drug lobby.
39:19It's between that and lawyers.
39:21And they have a lot of power.
39:24But starting today, the United States will no longer
39:27subsidized the health care of foreign countries,
39:30which is what we were doing.
39:31We were subsidizing other health care countries
39:33where they paid a small fraction of what, for the same drug,
39:38that what we pay many, many times more for.
39:41And we're no longer tolerate profiteering and price gouging
39:45from big pharma.
39:46But again, it was really the countries that forced big pharma
39:52to do things that, frankly, I'm not sure they really
39:55felt comfortable doing.
39:56but they've gotten away with it.
39:57These countries, European Union, has been brutal, brutal.
40:03So on the one hand, immediately, it's like, of course,
40:08this is insane.
40:10We have five to seven percent of the global population.
40:14But pharmaceutical companies make 75 plus percent
40:17of their profits from the American market alone.
40:22You have these companies selling their drugs in America,
40:25making their profit, and literally we are subsidizing
40:28the cost of the medications for other countries around the world. What was that right? Then
40:41on the other hand, haven't we tried price controls, government or price controls before? How does
40:46the concept of price controls affect a free market buzzword there?
40:53Ding ding ding. Free market. Has there really been a free market with medications? The data
41:11shows that the United States of America is the largest purchaser of medications in the world,
41:18and the American purchaser pays on average or pays as much as 10 times as much for medications
41:29from major drug companies than other nations, for example, like Germany. So on the one hand, my
41:39I, Spidey senses go off.
41:41I said, whoa, so is the president gonna put in the government or price control?
41:49Is that what we do?
41:52Or is there another way?
41:55Is there another way?
41:56Now, this is another one that I was gonna say, hmm, we have to see how this is going to be
41:59implemented because according to the executive order, President Trump has directed health
42:09and human services secretary, Robert Kennedy, to set quote, clear targets for prescription
42:14drug and pharmaceutical price reductions within 30 days. Now, again, the art of the deal is going
42:22to make a big, beautiful deal. According to those closest to the president, they say that
42:28his hope is that this executive order will introduce negotiations between the department,
42:39health and human services, and pharmaceutical and percent in the prescription drug industries
42:43to see if there can be a voluntary negotiated means to reduce prices domestically and to
42:53show in the shift some of the desire in the efforts to generate profits away from America.
43:00Like you literally have a scenario where you have some companies that make almost all of
43:03their profits in America and they're literally giving the drugs away at cost to other nations.
43:09So that's once again, the big United States of America literally subsidizing these calls
43:15for the rest of the world into which I, man, when you keep going through these things and
43:22that all of these things are being exposed, like the stuff that Doge is doing.
43:26And then you see the master trade imbalances.
43:29You know, many people, I say, well myself, I didn't know there was a trade imbalance between
43:31the United States of America and Israel.
43:34Maybe I just took it for granted.
43:35I don't know.
43:36I didn't know that.
43:37When you see we have all of these things going on, it makes me want to say, what about the
43:41President's been doing.
43:46President Trump attempted to do something along this line
43:49in his initial term, but his regulation change
43:55got stymied in the courts,
43:57and the Biden administration just dropped it,
43:58so they didn't follow through with it.
44:05Why do we allow a pharmaceutical industry?
44:07And this could be my ignorance
44:08about the pharmaceutical industry, and I'm open to that.
44:12You know, there may be some of you in the audience right now
44:14that it helped me with some insight,
44:16but how do we allow there to get to the place
44:18where our nation, a large nation, no doubt,
44:24economically robust, no doubt, but population wise,
44:27we're not as large as some of the other nations.
44:31How is it that our nation that is producing
44:34pharmaceutical companies and selling medications
44:36all over the world, but 75, 80% of the profits
44:41are being made off of the American,
44:45of the American medication purchaser?
44:51That is a problem.
44:55That is a problem.
45:00Have we had leaders in our nation
45:03or we had people that were selling our nation out
45:08for their own grandisement and financial gain?
45:13I mean, I know all of these things have gone by,
45:17but I thought it was very telling, you know,
45:20off the top we got to save a cut for the big guy.
45:22We just gonna shrug our shoulder.
45:24Yeah.
45:25Gaining of function research.
45:26Oh, it's outlawed in America.
45:28Oh, Frouchy, we're still doing a little funded.
45:31We'll just do it overseas.
45:33brought you lies under oath and that pardon.
45:36That's it's becoming increasingly clear.
45:38We've had people in positions of public service
45:40that haven't been serving publicly.
45:43They've been serving private means,
45:47at least of which includes the lining of one's pockets.
45:53How do you just look the other way
45:55and watch your own nation get hollowed out like this?
46:01You know, is this a part of, you know,
46:03what Barack Hussein Obama attempted to do?
46:07You know, we have to be a part of rebalancing the world
46:09bring America down that we can fit into the globalist hole.
46:17You know, this is this is this is this is this is troubling, man.
46:28This is troubling.
46:29So on the on this drug pricing deal, I call the economic deals a straight up
46:36win with the UK and China.
46:40President Trump was winning on that front.
46:42I'm not sure about this one. I'm not sure about this one.
46:45We'll see. I still obviously support the president,
46:48but I'm going to be honest about these things.
46:50I hope this works out well.
46:53And like I've said in other areas,
46:56he's earned the right to wait and see.
46:57So I'm not going to come out here slamming him.
47:01But how do we get to the place when we're allowed the US
47:05purchaser to subsidize the purchase of medications
47:08for the whole world?
47:11That doesn't make sense to me.
47:15I'll end the show with this.
47:16And this is something that's just been bothering me, man.
47:20That's just been bothering me.
47:22That we are witnessing the erosion of the family
47:26our own nation. I've talked to you guys about the demographic winter that's
47:31transpiring and other nations is coming to rest in our own country who are not
47:38reproducing enough Americans to replace the existing population. There's never
47:45been a civilization that has thrived that hasn't had solid nuclear family at the
47:50nucleus, you know. There's a phenomenon and this is men, what's happening with women
47:57to like you had, you know, Tracy Ellis Ross coming out, you know, she's such a, you know,
48:02she's a boss. She can't do another but date young man. It's like, really that's what it
48:06is. And then you had, you know, Shannon Sharp, who's started pursuing for romantic relationships
48:13on 19 year old, this dude is in his late 50s, over 50. And now he's in a scandalous lawsuit
48:21to where he's made many cues of, you know, he's been accused civilly of sexual assault
48:29on his argue, his defense is always continuous,
48:32consensual.
48:34I'm like, do it with a child?
48:35Like, with 19 when you matter, what,
48:3921, 22 years old now, and then you got Bill Belichick,
48:42one of if not the greatest football coaches
48:45in American history, certainly the greatest defensive
48:47football coach in American history.
48:49So we got a 24 year old girlfriend
48:50and they've been with each other since 2021.
48:53So that's four years ago.
48:54Simple math, let's say it was not a four or four years,
48:57three years ago, you're 70 years old with a 20 year old.
49:02You know, there's no conscious and ick factor for you with that.
49:10What's going on with us?
49:11Man, we got men who's supposed to have wisdom,
49:18but they're producing, not producing pursuing 30, 40,
49:2650 years at Junior, that's insane.
49:30I can't help but think about Hebrews five.
49:31At the time you should have wisdom to offer you,
49:35you have need to be taught again.
49:37Something is happening terribly.
