0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
0:06This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
0:11It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
0:15Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
0:18And the philosophies of this world.
0:20God has called you and me to be His ambassador.
0:24Even in this dark moment.
0:26Let's not miss our moment.
0:28And now, the Hamilton Corner.
0:31Good evening, everyone.
0:35Welcome to the Hamilton Corner.
0:36My name is Abraham Hamilton the third.
0:38I am the host of this program I'm joined by the corner contingent right across from me,
0:46often imitated but never duplicated successfully that is.
0:50Produced extraordinaire, the real J. Mac, ladies and gentlemen, and you can take your
0:53time cold, give him some nice camera time, take your time.
0:57Give him, give him nice.
1:01Minutus and second of FaceTime.
1:08Also in the screening room, I've already said he's here.
1:11He's never mean always pristine.
1:13And of course he's very clean.
1:14He's cold green ladies and gentlemen.
1:16And we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program.
1:22I know I say this daily, but it cannot be stated enough.
1:28What goes on in your house?
1:32is far more important than what goes on in the White House.
1:36And just as what happens in your house is more important in the White House, it is
1:42exceedingly important that we understand that.
1:46The world works tirelessly to push and pull and
1:52and slate our time and to make us give attention to all of these other things
1:59often to neglect of our own homes. And I simply want to encourage you to reverse that.
2:04and refuse to allow that to become your reality.
2:08At this very moment, many of you,
2:10if not most of you are making your transition
2:12from your part-time jobs where you generate an income
2:16to your full-time jobs where you cultivate an outcome.
2:21Outcome cultivation is the immovable,
2:28cultural feature for the body of Christ.
2:32I want to rightly emphasize, however,
2:36that outcome cultivation from God's standpoint is intended to be the overflow or should I
2:44say that out working of the internal reality of our commitment and devotion to God personally?
2:52To say it differently, the Lord doesn't necessarily want you working for Him if He's not working
2:58in you.
2:59That makes sense.
3:02He certainly wants us working for Him, but He wants the work that we do for Him to overflow
3:07from the relationship we have in him and with him.
3:16Obedience is the zenith, the pinnacle
3:19of this lifestyle of worship.
3:25Worship is the only appropriate response
3:30to having been redeemed like a brand from the burning
3:36from eternal damnation.
3:41There are so many things happening around us
3:43and there's so many ways we could get bogged down
3:47and distracted and diverted away from what must be central for us.
3:52For us, what must be central for us is easy to be diverted.
3:58And one of the things that I hope and pray that we accomplished
4:01through this program is snapping our attention back
4:03to what should be primary, snapping our attention back
4:06to what should be primary.
4:08If you are in the stage of life as I am with young children
4:11in your home first and foremost, you are amazingly blessed,
4:16amazingly blessed.
4:19Secondarily, you are amazingly blessed with the glorious opportunity to contribute to invest
4:27in shaping eternal destiny.
4:29Guys, I know what the world says.
4:33I know the world is in all people like Elon Musk because of their billions and the bank
4:37and all of that.
4:38But can I tell you, God doesn't evaluate what wealth the way the world does, man.
4:43And frankly, God is the creator of all who owns a cattle on a thousand hills.
4:48You think he's impressed by mega bucks?
4:52He's not.
4:54And I'm not saying this as a license
4:56or to advocate for some kind of poverty equals piety
5:00and that kind of thing, not in the least bit.
5:02But if you're in a situation where you don't recognize
5:05that your resources are simply that resources,
5:07get you a scribe identity and self-worth and self-esteem
5:11to what you have in the bank, honestly,
5:14my heart breaks for you.
5:17But if we could get to the place,
5:19When I say we, I'm talking specifically about the body of Christ,
5:22so we can be fully persuaded as to God's perspective of this life for us.
5:30And we embrace that perspective.
5:33There's no telling how effective we can be.
5:38So as you make your transition to your full time jobs,
5:40do so with passion and intentionality and resolve in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
5:48To the word of God, we go second Timothy chapter four.
5:51I've talked about this epistle quite a bit, quite a bit.
5:582 Timothy 4, verses 1 through 8, this is an epistle that is written near the very end of the
6:06Apostle Paul's life. 2 Timothy 4 verses 1 through 8, I'm just going to begin reading the Lord's Word.
6:17I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the
6:23day and by his appearing and his kingdom, preach the word, be ready in season and out of season,
6:32reprove, rebuke, exhort with great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they
6:42will not endure sound doctrine, but wanting to have their ears tickled. They will accumulate for
6:48themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires or their own lusts and will turn
6:58away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to miss. But you be sober in all thing.
7:08Indoor hardship. Do the work of an evangelist.
7:14Fulfill your ministry. For I am already being poured out as a drink offering and the time of my
7:21departure has come, for I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.
7:31In the future, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord,
7:35the righteous judge will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but also all who have loved
7:41his appearing. One of the things I want to point out to you that as the Apostle Paul is writing this,
7:47He's keenly aware that his execution is imminent.
7:51So when he says, there's laid up a crown of righteousness for me in the future.
7:56He's not talking about, no, someday, end, you know, he's saying he's recognizing this is,
8:02this is imminent for him.
8:04But the thing that struck me from this passage that I want to present to you for consideration today
8:09is the Apostle Paul's expression.
8:12I have finished the course.
8:16I have finished the course.
8:19clearly the Apostle Paul is talking about the course of life on this side of eternity that
8:29was set before him.
8:31The thing I want to offer for your consideration today is are you aware of the course that God
8:42has for you?
8:44What is your course?
8:48What is your course?
8:51We have the generally applicable reality of the Great Commission.
8:54The only variable there is to how, what role we are to play in that process?
8:59Are we the seed planter?
9:00Are we the seed water?
9:02You know, are we the one to introduce the gospel in conversation?
9:06Are we one?
9:07Are we to be the disciple maker in that instance?
9:11You know, are we to be?
9:12Are we in a place where we need to be discipled?
9:14We recognize that?
9:15You know, we're all supposed to be engaged in the Great Commission.
9:18What is the course that God has placed before you?
9:24I think about, for example, Brother Don Wildman and the Lord gave him the vision to begin what
9:30is now the American Family Radio Network, to have a mechanism to communicate directly to
9:35the American people without a filter, for the purposes of communicating gospel centrality
9:44to include the proclamation of the gospel, but also the application of the gospel.
9:50I think about ministries like Alliance of Indian Freedom, who the Lord used people like Brother
9:55Don Wildman and Brother James Dobson and Brother Bill Bright and others to show, hey,
9:59we need to have Christian legal heft muscular legalities, which has led to several tremendous
10:12Supreme Court victories, right?
10:14We have others like the Kendrick brothers, the Lord gave them a passion to use the medium
10:18of film to communicate transcendent, glorious truths, you know, others and music.
10:25What is the course that God has for you?
10:29When I say the course, don't think I'm assessing your course based on how the world perceives
10:36the size of the particular platform or whatever.
10:38I'm not at all.
10:39For some, it meant like my wife, the Lord has given her a course to where she is dedicated
10:43for this stage of her life to investing in the children that God has entrusted to our
10:48care, pouring all of her talents and her gifts and abilities, all of her biblical acumen,
10:55of her energy outside of her personal relationship with the Lord and her interaction with me as
11:02her husband. She's dedicated this stage of her life to our children. What is your course?
11:09What is your course? In the beginning, before I even opened the scripture, I talked about how the
11:14world tears at us to divert our attention, divert our resources, divert our energies, so that we could
11:20spend ourselves on all kinds of things. When the simple truth is, guys, only things that will remain
11:24you know, things that are eternal, things that are eternal.
11:30Have we been deceived to a degree where we've allowed you name it the world, the flesh of
11:35the devil to get us to invest ourselves into fleeting, temporal, empty pursuits, vain pursuits,
11:41as the scripture says.
11:43I'm not knocking anybody, not condemning anybody, but we must be about our father's business
11:48man.
11:49We need all hands on deck.
11:51You know, I understand it, but frankly, I'm tired of complaining about helli wood being
11:57hellish.
11:58You know, the world is going to a world.
12:00I don't expect people who live their lives giving over
12:04to darkness to produce light in the arts.
12:06I just don't.
12:08I just don't.
12:10And a part of the problem is just simply put too many believers
12:13still patronize in the darkness.
12:16You know, I'm not trying to tell anybody what to do with their money.
12:19But honestly, if we stop patronizing a lot of the darkness,
12:21it wouldn't be as robust.
12:23I still know some people are zealously committed.
12:25I'm not saying it would be completely eradicated,
12:27But I'm saying, if one patronizes much, it may not get as much attention.
12:33But the other thing is, why don't we build something?
12:38You understand what I'm saying?
12:39Why don't we build something that is light bearing?
12:44Instead of, and the critique is right, rebuke is right.
12:49But at some point, we have to get to the place where we're not only cursing the darkness,
12:52but we're setting up the light on the lampstand.
12:56And I know there are people that are doing it.
12:58So I'm not saying they're saying nobody's doing anything because that's not true.
13:01I know too many people who are actively engaged.
13:04And here's another thing.
13:11Thank you for that comment.
13:12If you're in a place where you don't know for certain, where your course is, there is no need
13:19to be condemned there.
13:20But I do want to encourage pursuit of the course.
13:25Lord, where do you want me now?
13:27Seek in the Lord individually, availing oneself to wise, trustworthy counsel.
13:33This is why the body of Christ is itself a means of grace.
13:36And this is frankly why it is such warfare to try to dilute the witness of the church.
13:41And as the most popular question I get whenever I travel around this country,
13:45Abe, can you help me find a good church?
13:50We have to recognize folks very simply in plain that we are at war.
13:55It is spiritual warfare.
13:58And much of the deceptive efforts, they say,
14:00tanically deceptive efforts is to persuade people that there is no war.
14:04So that we have a peacetime disposition when the truth is the bullets are flying.
14:11What is your course the Apostle Paul was able to write? I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I
14:20Have kept the faith the only way the Apostle Paul could write that he's finished the course is if he knew what his course was
14:28Brothers and sisters is vitally important that we
14:31Identify our course and that we are not functioning like dreamers
14:36I'll often say there's a difference between dreamers and visionaries dreamers have all kinds of ideas whenever put feet to anything
14:41Visionaries have amazingly
14:43God-as-part ideas and put feet
14:45those ideas to bring them into fruition.
14:47We need more visionaries and
14:49we need more members of our family
14:51putting feet to the pavement
14:53pursuing our course so we can be
14:55like our Apostle Paul, our brother.
14:58A discipleship minute with
15:03Joseph Parker.
15:04I was recently in conversation
15:06with another pastor and we were
15:08discussing the issue of some of the
15:10news stories about youth in our
15:12and nation. The pastor remarked,
15:14I've been praying and asking the Lord for what to do
15:17about all that's going on with our youth,
15:20without question we're wise to pray and ask for wisdom
15:23in addressing most any problem in our world.
15:26God in His word always have an answer
15:28for every challenge we can possibly face.
15:31The answer to the challenges we face with our youth
15:34isn't complicated.
15:35In fact, the answer is much more simple
15:38than we may wish to admit.
15:40The answer to the problems in our culture for all that's going on amongst our youth
15:45is Jesus.
15:46Our children need to know Jesus Christ.
15:49And our children and youth need to be discipled in their faith.
15:53They need to be taught and trained to read the Word of God and walk in its wisdom.
15:57Shiting light into the darkness, this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
16:12Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here.
16:17The need to remain consistent and vigilant is ever before us.
16:23I'm looking forward to next week joining the Illinois Christian Home Educators for their 2025 conference in Bourbon A.
16:32Illinois hosted at the Olivette Nazarene University.
16:35I will be presenting at the conference in addition to broadcasting live from there.
16:41We'll have the corner on the road.
16:43So I guess the corner will be out of the corner.
16:46I'm looking forward to that. You are welcome to come to the conference. If you go to iche.org
16:51to register if you're in the area or will it come to the area to be interesting because Illinois just had
16:56this horrendous bill there that sought to really curtail home schooling in the state. Thankfully,
17:04the citizens in that state have risen up against that piece of legislation, but that will be next week
17:09week, June 5th through the 8th next week in Burbanet, Illinois.
17:15I began stating that the need for continued vigilance is one that is ever before us because
17:22a case that is arisen from the town of Middleboro in Massachusetts having to do with the 12-year-old
17:30boy, at least 12 years old at the time, whose name is Liam Morris.
17:34Liam went to the John T. Nichols Middle School in Middleboro, Massachusetts, and he had the
17:41audacity to do something, you know, the, of course, this is outrageous that he had the
17:46audacity to wear a shirt to school that said that there are only two genders.
17:54Well, he was reprimanded by the school or required to remove his shirt.
18:00Later that year, this was in March of 23, by the way.
18:02that year he came back with the shirt, but he had covered the words only two in the shirt.
18:09So the shirt read, there are tape covered genders and he had the words censored written over that.
18:16He was rebuked again by the school, ultimately leading to his parents filing a lawsuit against
18:21the school on his behalf.
18:23Thankfully our friends, I mentioned them earlier, at Alliance of Ethnic Freedom, represented Liam
18:27Morrison and his parents in this litigation.
18:31But first, let me just give you a little bit and let you actually hear a little bit from
18:37Liam in his own words.
18:39When he presented to the school board, all his concerns about basically, frankly, they're
18:45crushing his first amendment freedoms.
18:48Listen to and watch Liam Morrison and a brief report on Liam Morrison.
18:53It's clip number one, clip number one.
18:55Go.
18:56Old-year-old boy attending middle school in Middleboro, Massachusetts was sent home from
19:00school recently for wearing a t-shirt which teachers complained made some students feel
19:06unsafe.
19:07A shirt that Liam Morrison wore looked like this one with five words.
19:12There are only two genders.
19:14Liam recently told the school board that he refused to remove the shirt because he was only
19:19stating facts.
19:20I have been told that my shirt was targeting a protected class.
19:25It was this protected class.
19:27Are there feelings more important than my rights?
19:30I don't complain when I see pride flags and diversity posters
19:33hung throughout the school.
19:34Do you know why?
19:35Because others have a right to their beliefs just as I do.
19:38Even at 12 years old, I have my own political opinions,
19:41and I have a right to express those opinions.
19:43Even at school, this right is called the First Amendment
19:48to the Constitution.
19:49I feel like these adults were telling me
19:51that it wasn't OK for me to have an opposing view.
19:53their arguments were weak in my opinion.
19:56I didn't go to school that day to hurt feelings
19:58or cause trouble.
19:59I have learned a lot from this experience.
20:01I learned that a lot of other students share my view.
20:04I learned that adults don't always do the right thing
20:06or make the right decisions.
20:09Now, that was Liam Morrison.
20:16Y'all gonna be not shocked to hear what I'm about to say.
20:19Liam's parents filed a lawsuit with the help of Alliance
20:22of Indian Freedom on his behalf.
20:24the district court ruled against Liam saying the court was well with it. I'm sorry, the
20:29school was well within its lawful authority to prohibit Liam from wearing a shirt. And
20:34he heard him say that I was told that I might offend to protect class, which is interesting
20:40because legally transgenderism is not a protected class as it pertains to the full scope of civil
20:50rights legislation federally. I don't know. I can't speak necessarily for the state of
20:55Massachusetts. Maybe it's protected in the state of Massachusetts, or perhaps that is
20:59the case. Well, Liam's parents appealed the district court decision to the first circuit
21:04court of appeals, which also ruled against Liam. What's that to y'all know what's next, right?
21:17parents with a ADS assistance appealed to the United States Supreme Court asking for the
21:27court the technical term is to granted the granted appeal shirt certiorari which means
21:33the Supreme Court would hear the case.
21:36But the court declined to hear the case.
21:39The US Supreme Court announced its rejection of this case just yesterday and in rejecting
21:50the case. They leave in place. The first circuit quarter of appeals is ruling, which says that
21:56Liam is not allowed to wear his shirt simply saying that if your first amendment freedoms
22:04comes crosswise against the sexual deviancy social political orthodoxy of the day, then
22:11When you little boy lose your first amendment freedoms, now the two most trustworthy judges
22:22on the bench, y'all already know, dissented from this opinion.
22:26Justice is Samuel Alito and Justice Clarence Thomas said it's absurd that we did not accept
22:33the case, but it remains that the Supreme Court refused to hear the case.
22:44to hear it. Now, 80s CEO, Christian Wagoner, released a statement amongst the things she
22:53said to say, quote, Liam's story is clear evidence that is too early to declare victory
23:03in the fight against gender ideology, which relies on censorship to survive. Our basic
23:11right to tell the truth is at stake and we can't be complacent in defending it."
23:19In quote, she's absolutely right. So I know there are lots of people that are saying, you know,
23:24they're like, oh, look at the election and look at this. Guys, if you think that we've turned the
23:35corner and there's been broadside victory, everybody understand this, that is not the case.
23:41That is not the case.
23:44This is the most conservative Supreme Court we've had in quite some time, but not even
23:49this Supreme Court is willing to take up this case.
23:54Justice Samuel Alito, as I mentioned, both he and Justice Thomas wrote, descents scathing
24:01descents, rebuking the Supreme Court itself, rebuking the first Circuit Court of Appeals
24:09and rebuking Nichols Middle School in the process.
24:13Among the things that Justice Thomas says,
24:16I'm sorry, Justice Alito said,
24:18and you tell me where the lie is in this.
24:20You tell me where the error is in this rationale.
24:26Justice Alito says, quote,
24:28if a school sees fit to instruct students
24:34of a certain age on a social issue
24:36like LGBTQ plus rights or gender identity,
24:40then the school must tolerate dissenting students' speech on those issues.
24:45If anything, viewpoint discrimination in the lower grades is more objectionable because
24:53young children are more impressionable and thus more susceptible to indoctrination.
25:00And this is, you want to talk about lower the boom.
25:10as Alito continues quote inside and outside the classroom, Nichols Middle School promotes
25:19the view that gender is a fluid construct and that a person's self-defined identity, not
25:27biological sex determines whether that person is male, female, or something else in quote.
25:36See the thing that the newscasters won't tell you and I've seen some of the regressive
25:41people trying to talk about this, that because this was a denial of certiorari, the court
25:48doesn't have to provide a full opinion on it, but Justice Alito is letting us see what's
25:52really going on in his dissent.
25:55He says, Liam Morrison had to go to school every day, where's pride flags all over his
26:01school.
26:04You got pride flags all over his school.
26:08the classroom, you have lessons instructing the students that quote unquote gender is
26:15fluid. It's a fluid construct. So all of that is fair game. All of that. But if this
26:24boy has the audacity to wear a shirt, he can't wear the shirt. And I want you to zoom out
26:36and I know it's hard because you're dealing with a 12 year old boy. Can you imagine what
26:40the classmates are saying? What they're dealing with the discussion they're having with their
26:44right? Zoom out because what you literally have and this is the thing that this try as I made a
26:52rap my medulla oblongata around it. I have still been unsuccessful in doing so that you're in a place
27:02that is supposed to be about learning but the authorities refuse to allow truth in the door.
27:10Just let that sit. Let that sizzle in your spirit for a minute. Children are supposed to be learning
27:19right? But it is hate speech, unconstitutional, a violation of civil rights for truth to enter
27:30the discussion. This is why I tell people all the time you're saying this is a political
27:44issue guys. This is a gospel issue. This is a gospel issue. You have the authorities,
27:49the adults at the school, now the court system, and now even the US Supreme Court as it pertains
27:55to Liam as it pertains to Liam Morrison in Nichols Middle School in Middleboro, Massachusetts.
28:04You can have a lot of opinions, but you cannot bring truth in this door.
28:09You cannot, you cannot bring truth here.
28:13You cannot bring truth here.
28:23This, this is, this is a, this is the latest example.
28:33I would echo Christian Wagner's statements.
28:38Liam's story is clear evidence that it is too early to declare victory in the fight against
28:45gender ideology, which he said.
28:47I was simply saying lies as a potential biology and sexuality.
28:55And because the lies, and guys, please see this plainly, because the lies cannot rebut
29:01truth, the only option for the lies to proliferate is to censor truth.
29:09See where this is and see where it's going.
29:15The censorship is the blood flow, if you will, the life blood of deception.
29:24But the Supreme Court just refused that particular case.
29:40Listen to a brief report talking about the Supreme Court's decision to decline this case.
29:45Clip number two, go.
29:47The Supreme Court declined to hear a Massachusetts students challenge to his middle school's
29:51ban on him wearing a t-shirt with the slogan, there are only two genders.
29:57administrators pointed to the student dress code, which bars
30:01any hate speech or imagery saying they were merely enforcing
30:05those requirements in order to avoid disruption in school.
30:09The students lawyers argue the dress codes restrictions on speech
30:13are unconstitutional. Both a federal district court judge
30:17and the Boston based first US Circuit Court of Appeals
30:21ruled in favor of the school.
30:27The dress code that presents clothing,
30:29you hit the last part, imagery.
30:32While at the exact same time,
30:33you can have flags and posters and even content
30:36conveyed inside of the classroom along the same regard.
30:43We can enclose this to this break,
30:44but I'll introduce this subject, this story,
30:47and you can pair these stories together.
30:51I told you before, back on April Fool's Day,
30:53the Colorado State Legislature introduced a legislation,
30:57Colorado's House Bill 25-1312.
31:02This is a law as originally promulgated, was created that could be used in legal proceedings to remove children from their parents homes.
31:12If the parents refused to indulge the gender insanity.
31:19Well, Colorado strikes again.
31:24They have now passed House Bill 25-1312.
31:28It's an amended version of the bill.
31:30though amended the bill is still for niches listen to and watch clip number three clip three go
31:37Under the new law intentionally misgendering or dead naming someone is considered a discriminatory act under the Colorado
31:44Anti-discrimination act it also creates requirements for school districts about chosen name and dress code policies
31:50The bill originally called for records to consider misgendering a child in custody cases
31:55But sponsors struck that part out of the legislation
31:57Now I want you to see the bill has been passed. The governor of Colorado, Jared
32:03Polis, has now signed this into law. They've made the colloquial terms,
32:12dead-naming and misgendering violations of Colorado's Anti-Discrimination Act.
32:19This law has implications, not just implications, has directives for Christian
32:27schools, camps, other organizations that uphold dress codes
32:32and or bathroom or overnight accommodations policies
32:35that aligns with a child's God given sex.
32:39If these organizations and entities refuse
32:43to adopt so-called inclusive policies mandating the use
32:48of preferred pronouns and names, according
32:51to preferred gender identity, they could face penalties
32:54and lawsuits more when we come back from this break.
33:01Some chances come along once in a lifetime.
33:04When they do, you've got to be ready.

33:58Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Commentaries are available at
34:09AFR.net back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
34:15Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton III here.
34:19This egregious legislation in Colorado also threatens parental rights
34:24While they've removed from the bill, the provision that said this, you know, this language would
34:32be viewed basically akin to child abuse for use in child removal proceedings, they still,
34:39they still are signaling that parents who refuse to affirm a child's pursuit of so-called transgenderism
34:53that they are running a file of the law.
34:58And I'm presenting this to you guys for several reasons.
35:03One, obviously I want you to be informed
35:05concerning things that are happening on the legal front.
35:09Two, to underscore the fact that we are in a spiritual war.
35:13It's spiritual warfare guys.
35:16And thirdly, to highlight the necessity
35:18of the continued engagement and making disciples guys.
35:26guys. You know, we talk about, you know, certain places, certain cities, you know, that are, you know,
35:36overrun or wickedness in different ways. How did that happen, man? How did that happen? How did that
35:43happen? You know, where's the body of Christ? And this is a thing, and y'all know me if you've
35:56been following me for any length of time, I'm not saying this to say we need to be afraid to be,
36:01you know, intimidated, not in the least bit. My biggest concern is that souls hang in the
36:07This is the time that we've been planning for.
36:11We've been planning for this.
36:14We have to.
36:18We have to be about our father's business, which is why I began the way I did.
36:23What is our course?
36:25That's right.
36:26I often say live locally.
36:27How are we navigating our own communities and our own neighborhoods?
36:35Are we reaching out to our neighbors?
36:39Do we have conversations with our neighbors?
36:43Now, one of the most potent sources of ministry is our kitchen tables, man, our dinner tables.
36:54It's high time for us to be about our father's business.
36:58Another movement on the policy front that this is, this is encouraging.
37:06There's a movement that is percolating throughout the country, but it's going somewhat under
37:11the radar right now.
37:14You know, we're confronted with runaway inflation.
37:17No thanks to Mr.
37:18Well, Robinette is setting dollars on fire.
37:24inflating the American dollar by printing money just foisted it into circulation using computers to do so now
37:35States are recognizing that and for quite some time now some of the more wealthy among us have been utilizing
37:42You know precious metals like gold and others as a hedge against inflation
37:46And it's being it has been used in many instances as a as a wealth protection tool for some of the more wealthy
37:52but states now are involved in moving toward kind of an effort to return to the gold standard
38:02by simply allowing intrinsic metal to be used ultimately, transactionally.
38:11There have been bills last year, for example, 2024.
38:13The majority of the state legislatures all around the country had bills introduced in
38:17that direction.
38:18Over 10 years ago, the state of Texas passed legislation to allow its citizens to have a
38:24a gold bullion reserve to where they could basically save in gold.
38:32All right.
38:33Now a movement movement is afoot and this is thanks to many people including
38:38the economist Kevin Freeman who is dedicated his life to understanding how
38:51basically money is weaponized.
38:54And so he's encouraged legislators all around the country.
38:57He's written a book called Pirate Money.
38:59It's a very, very powerful book, but even as recently as, as today, Governor Ronda Santas
39:07signed a bill recognizing gold and silver as legal tender in the state of Florida. Listen to
39:13and watch clip number six, clip number six, go.
39:17Floridians, you're going to soon be able to see some bills with gold or silver coin under a new law.
39:22Governor Ronda Santas signed a bill yesterday that would allow people to use gold or silver
39:27as legal tender in the state.
39:29The governor said only two states have done it and it would make Florida the largest state
39:33to do it so far.
39:34This legislation will authorize money services business like check cashers or paypal to transmit
39:40and accept payment in gold and silver.
39:43That means these precious metals can start functioning like real currency again, not just
39:48investment vehicles for the wealthy.
39:53So Florida has passed this legislation.
39:55Governor Santis assigned it into law, the state of Arkansas has passed legislation to allow for electronic transfers relating to gold and silver to be used
40:04transactionally the state of Utah has passed legislation so the main thing I want you to be aware of is that there is a movement that is happening and
40:13It is underreported at this stage. I think for several reasons some don't understand it
40:18and then secondarily
40:20I'll show I say this.
40:24Some legacy media outlets have a vested interest in the American populace remaining ignorant as
40:31it pertains to currency, inflation is invisible theft of our purchasing powers.
40:40I was talking to my own children about how when I was young and there's some of you, you
40:43remember even further back than me that it didn't use the cost $5 for a loaf of bread.
40:48And then used to cost that much.
40:51You know, in New Orleans we had this bunny bread bakery that I used to be able to ride my bike
40:55to.
40:56And the same loaf of bread, same size.
41:00This cost them four and five dollars depending on where you live.
41:03It could be even more expensive.
41:05I'm saying that that is a product of inflation.
41:11But as the, you know, the wise Walter Williams has told us when you have government policy
41:17that inflicts in an inestimable financial harm on the populace, the government act actors often
41:28conceal the perniciousness of that policy by using some type of expansion of the welfare
41:36state to some degree to make it available. So the idea, the reality is, is when America
41:47ascended to the place that we ascended to.
41:50We used to be on the gold standard,
41:51which is why our currency was trusted more than any currencies
41:54around the world at the time,
41:55because we had both the robust economy,
41:57but our Federal Reserve notes were connected
41:59to actual gold in the US Mint,
42:04which is why the Trump administration is moving
42:05to a one and even the audit that meant
42:07to see if we have as much gold as we're supposed to have
42:10in our Federal Mint.
42:12But when you remove that,
42:13you have the reality of fiat currency,
42:15which makes it easier to infuse our society
42:19with so-called dollars because it's not connected
42:22to anything of an intrinsic value.
42:26So you just, that's what the whole deal is,
42:27you just print more money, you just print more money,
42:29but the thing is the numbers of the number of goods
42:32and services are paying the same.
42:33So you simply have more dollars chasing the same amount
42:36of goods and services, which is why inevitably inflation
42:39is a result of prices going up.
42:41And many of us have been kind of cultivated
42:44to believe inflation is just a natural economic phenomenon
42:47because on many of our jobs you have what's called,
42:49you know, cost of living increases,
42:51or that are related to inflation,
42:53or inflation increases,
42:54as if inflation is just an automatic.
42:57Inflation is not an economic automatic.
43:00It's not.
43:01There are things that occur that cause inflation.
43:06So there's movement being made.
43:14That's right, look, people are under-chat saying,
43:15I remember my mom buying five loads of bread for a dollar.
43:18Can you imagine that?
43:19I mean, look, I got six children, look at Cole's face.
43:21He said, what?
43:23Yes, Cole.
43:25Five, look, this is their online writing,
43:27they said, I remember my mom buying five loaves of bread
43:29for a dollar.
43:32Now you need five dollars for one loaf.
43:36Has the inherent value of bread just increased?
43:41Sent to it housing prices, I remember my grandmother.
43:43For the first time in my family's history,
43:44she moved out of the desire project in New Orleans
43:47and bought a house.
43:47Her house cost $25,000.
43:50I remember that.
43:55Anybody buy a house for $25,000?
43:57though, has the inherent value of the home, the lumber, the concrete, has that increased?
44:04All of these are the results of inflationary prices, which is this is the invisible theft,
44:08it causes more federal reserve notes in order to get the same goods and services.
44:15That is why you have some young people saying that, wait a minute, my parents are able to
44:21buy a home at this stage of life, but I am nowhere near the capacity to be able to buy
44:26a home because look at the cost of these homes.
44:30Guys, the inherent value of the, this is what we need to have a distinction in our minds for
44:34as concerned and consumer goods.
44:37We have to be able to distinguish between sale prices and value.
44:43You understand what I'm saying?
44:45Sale prices and value.
44:47Those things are not synonymous terms.
44:54If you consider the value of what, for example, a particular quantity of gold can get you
45:00today.
45:01If you trace it back to history, you could use this.
45:04That quantity of gold would have gotten you the same thing
45:07in the first century.
45:12But the invisible theft,
45:14that is the reason why it's been allowed to occur
45:17because it's pernicious, it's almost undetectable.
45:21We just don't, man, the prices go up, man,
45:23this is amazing.
45:24I remember when I could get five loaves of bread for a dollar.
45:27I remember my grandmother buying the house for $25,000.
45:31What happened?
45:32Inflation happened.
45:34How did it happen?
45:35the continual printing of money that is not connected
45:40to the production of goods and services,
45:43results in a larger amount of Federal Reserve notes
45:47and now in these days, ones and zeros chasing the same amount
45:51of goods and services.
45:58That results in the prices increase.
46:04So having a mechanism of exchange that has intrinsic value,
46:10Previously, many wealthy people have used the precious metals and others as a heads against inflation, meaning that, okay, I have these investments over here, but I'm going to keep this gold on the side because even no matter happened in ones and zeros and those sort of reserve notes.
46:27I know this gold is still going to maintain its value.
46:30Even if you have a deflation of the value of purchasing power afforded through federal reserve notes.
46:37This is how you have things like recent examples, Venezuela, 15,000 Venezuelan dollars to buy
46:47a loaf of it.
46:49It's unsustainable.
46:50The Greek economy completely pressed because they deflated the purchasing power of that
46:58currency by severing it from an intrinsic mechanism of value.
47:04And it's in its wild because the whole notion with the central bank and all in other nations
47:09had already been tried in America was still on the gold standard.
47:12And then with the Federal Reserve Act from 1913, which already had in mind the initial effort
47:18to pass it in 1910, but it failed when it passed it in 1913, the goal was to ultimately
47:22be removed from the gold standard.
47:26But they took a long time to put it into practice so that when implemented until Nixon came into
47:29power.
47:36So there's a behind the scenes push that our government has been involved in prior to the
47:41Trump administration coming into the power called central bank digital currencies.
47:48And so there's some who recognize like Kevin Freeman and others say, whoa, well, you've
47:53already deflated the value of the dollar.
47:54Now you're going to create a central bank digital currency directly from the federal reserve.
48:00No, thank you.
48:01States are saying how about we allow intrinsic metals, precious metals with intrinsic value
48:09we use for trade.
48:11Kevin Freeman show pirate money, by the way, airs on the American family radio network on
48:15Saturdays at 10 a.m.
48:17about this at length. We're working with people. We may have them on the Hamilton
48:21Corner coming up soon. But I just wanted to make you aware that this is happening.
48:26As I mentioned, Texas already passed some legislation. They have not yet made it
48:31available for consumer transactions. Florida is now moving in that direction.
48:36Utah is moving in the direction. Other states are moving in that direction.
48:39And it is a move that can be done to help ultimately to protect America's
48:47middle class to protect our our wealth accumulation and to maintain that value because it will be
48:54a non-Washington DC based means of returning to some sanity with having purchasing power
49:03directly connected to intrinsic value. It will be a prudent step in my estimation. We're going to
49:10talk more about that going forward, but I wanted you to be aware that this is happening. And if
49:14If it's happening in your neck of the woods,
49:16talk to your friends, family, neighbors about it.
49:19Kevin Freeman's book, and this is not a paid endorsement,
49:21he didn't ask me to say this.
49:22It's a good resource for you to consider that regard
49:25and to become conversant, to understand it
49:27and become conversant on these points
49:29as another way of protecting yourself
49:31and your families, your neighbors and your community.
49:34Lord willing, we'll be back tomorrow.
49:36I have a great evening.
