  1. 0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
  2. 0:02It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
  3. 0:06This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
  4. 0:10It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
  5. 0:15Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
  6. 0:18And the philosophies of this world.
  7. 0:20God has called you and me to be his ambassador.
  8. 0:23Even in this dark moment.
  9. 0:26Let's not miss our moment.
  10. 0:28And now, the Hamilton Corner.
  11. 0:32Good evening, everyone.
  12. 0:34Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio.
  13. 0:37I'm your host, Abraham Hamilton III.
  14. 0:41Joined by, I don't know if he's so extraordinary today,
  15. 0:43he's starting off mocking me talking about,
  16. 0:46you got your collar popped.
  17. 0:49I say, well, you have azaleen on your lips.
  18. 0:51So what would you going to do about it?
  19. 0:56Thank you for tuning in to the program.
  20. 0:59My name is Abraham Hamilton III.
  21. 1:01I'm the host of this program.
  22. 1:02joined as I just mentioned by a produce extraordinaire often imitated never duplicated the real Jay
  23. 1:07Mac ladies and gentlemen we had a good time on the road in North Carolina we'll be back on the road next week
  24. 1:14in Burbinee Illinois at the ICHE conference Illinois Christian Home Educators looking forward to being
  25. 1:22there as well will broadcast alive from there as well in Burbinee Illinois at the Olivette University
  26. 1:29Olivet Nazarene University campus. That's where the conference is being hosted,
  27. 1:33delighted for that opportunity. If you're in the area willing to come to the area, you would have
  28. 1:39to register at iche.org.org and you will be in the building at this very moment. Many of you, if not
  29. 1:49most of you are making your transition from your part time jobs where you generate an income to your
  30. 1:54your full time jobs where you cultivate an outcome.
  31. 1:56And as you do so, I want to remind you to do it
  32. 2:00with intentionality.
  33. 2:01As we discussed earlier this week,
  34. 2:04I've just been meditating personally
  35. 2:06on the Apostle Paul's words about having finished his course
  36. 2:11and kept the faith in encouraging you to consider
  37. 2:15what is your course?
  38. 2:18Life hits us in different ways.
  39. 2:20We have various stages of life.
  40. 2:22I'm currently in the stage where I have young children
  41. 2:24still in my home, but should the Lord tear, I know there will be a time when I won't have
  42. 2:29young children in my home.
  43. 2:31Yet the Lord still would require fruitfulness and faithfulness through me and from me.
  44. 2:38And the same applies to you just as it applies to me.
  45. 2:42My prayer is that I will be faithful continuously, but in order for the Apostle Paul to be able
  46. 2:47to say he finished his course, he had to have clarity as to what his course was.
  47. 2:52I'm a viewer in a life stage and this happens to us at different stages to where life has hit you in a peculiar way and
  48. 2:59Kind of you kind of stunned, you know, I remember old
  49. 3:03Nintendo
  50. 3:05Boxing game Mike Tyson's punch out, you know, you hit glass jolta right way he dazed up for a moment, you know
  51. 3:11The old-school cartoons would have the the birds circling the Tweety birds and everything circling him when you dazed up
  52. 3:17But there's no error or sin or anything wrong in being
  53. 3:22dazed up, being mystified temporarily.
  54. 3:26But the question is what do we do thereafter?
  55. 3:28You know, some things occur in light that we didn't anticipate.
  56. 3:32And I'm telling you I'm right there with you.
  57. 3:35Navigating things that transpire, calling my attention away
  58. 3:40at various points.
  59. 3:42I don't think I haven't noticed the necessity
  60. 3:46having fill in hosts from me from time to time.
  61. 3:49That's because life is hit me as well.
  62. 3:51You know, and at the appropriate time,
  63. 3:54maybe I'll get into that a little bit more,
  64. 3:56but that's real, man.
  65. 4:00But none of those things are sufficient justification
  66. 4:03for us to not have clarity concerning what our course is
  67. 4:07and a commitment and a resolve to finish our course
  68. 4:10and to finish our courses well.
  69. 4:13So as you are making your transition
  70. 4:15from your part time jobs to your full time jobs.
  71. 4:17Understand the privacy to God places on family.
  72. 4:20Understand that what goes on in your house
  73. 4:22is far more important than what goes on in the White House.
  74. 4:25And understand that God desires for what we do,
  75. 4:28what flows to us externally.
  76. 4:30He desires God that is, desires that to be
  77. 4:33the result of what overflows in our personal
  78. 4:36relationship with the Lord.
  79. 4:40That is available to us, man.
  80. 4:42That is available to us.
  81. 4:42So as you are making your transition,
  82. 4:46Do so with intentionality.
  83. 4:48Don't allow life to just happen to you.
  84. 4:52I know Dave Ramsey has the expression concerning finances.
  85. 4:55If you don't tell your money to where to go,
  86. 4:57you'll be wondering where it went.
  87. 4:59That's true.
  88. 5:01That's true.
  89. 5:02If you don't have a plan,
  90. 5:04it'll just, you'll wake up one day and,
  91. 5:08man, what happened?
  92. 5:09I didn't realize all of this transpired.
  93. 5:10Well, it's even true in a more expanded context,
  94. 5:14concerning life.
  95. 5:16that we're not intentional and directing our lives
  96. 5:20in a particular manner.
  97. 5:22We'll be running man, where has the time gone?
  98. 5:25Then you wake up five years past, 10 years past,
  99. 5:2820 years past.
  100. 5:30You remember you were 25, now you're 36.
  101. 5:34And he's like, huh, wow, that happened quicker
  102. 5:37than I expected.
  103. 5:38Yeah, it does, it does.
  104. 5:42It's not gonna wait for you.
  105. 5:44I fought the good fight.
  106. 5:46I have kept the faith.
  107. 5:48I have finished my course.
  108. 5:51What is your course?
  109. 5:53To the word of God, we go John chapter one.
  110. 5:56John chapter one is where we're gonna begin the program today.
  111. 6:00John chapter one, verse 14.
  112. 6:04Critical, critical, critical.
  113. 6:06Revelation is provided for us there.
  114. 6:09The apostle John is writing and he records this.
  115. 6:12And the word, notice in the text word is capitalized.
  116. 6:16and the word became flesh and dwelt among us.
  117. 6:24And we saw his glory also capitalized.
  118. 6:28Glory as of the only begotten from the Father
  119. 6:31also capitalized.
  120. 6:33Full of grace and truth.
  121. 6:41Full of grace and truth.
  122. 6:48We live in a society that loves to talk about the grace of God.
  123. 6:55You might even have a booming preacher for the grace of God.
  124. 6:59You know, while simultaneously dealing in the time,
  125. 7:04we're being too interested in truth.
  126. 7:08No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, there's no.
  127. 7:15Concerning Messiah, the scripture records that he was full of grace and truth.
  128. 7:25You cannot have one without the other.
  129. 7:27The world likes to talk about God is a God of love.
  130. 7:30He's a God of love.
  131. 7:32It's a loving God.
  132. 7:35He is a loving God.
  133. 7:38And truth is one of the things that aids us in coming to grasp
  134. 7:45with exactly how loving he is.
  135. 7:50There is no such thing as an appropriate gospel presentation
  136. 7:54that excludes truth from the conversation.
  137. 7:57There's no such thing as an appropriate gospel presentation that
  138. 8:02excludes repentance from the conversation.
  139. 8:05Faith, yes, is vitally important.
  140. 8:07We are saved by grace through faith.
  141. 8:11But if faith is discussed and grace is discussed, but repentance is excluded,
  142. 8:18you have not received the gospel presentation.
  143. 8:25I've said long, I've long said the gospel is the gospel in Sudan, just as
  144. 8:32much as it is in China, in Iran, in Iraq, in America, in North Korea, and South Korea,
  145. 8:43the gospel is the same in every country.
  146. 8:46If you have to adjust what is presented based on your locale, you're not talking gospel.
  147. 8:57You're not talking so tearyology.
  148. 9:02Full of grace and truth, we've described before and the word became flesh.
  149. 9:10God the Son is described in John's recording of the Gospel as the logos of God, the word
  150. 9:17capitalized.
  151. 9:18The word became flesh and dwelt among us this description of the logos of God's incarnation.
  152. 9:28We saw His glory full of grace and truth.
  153. 9:38We absolutely 100% indisputably require.
  154. 9:42We need God's grace.
  155. 9:44God's grace.
  156. 9:47But without truth, without truth, mankind is deprived of the wherewithal of appropriately
  157. 9:57esteeming the grace of God, which results in lives that bear that out.
  158. 10:07I've explained before the heresy of anti-nomianism, how the Apostle Jude said or wrote, I should
  159. 10:14say, that I wanted to write you to address our common salvation, but because false brethren
  160. 10:21had crept in unawares, what was the main commitment,
  161. 10:27main thrust of these false brethren,
  162. 10:29that they perverted or twisted God's grace.
  163. 10:35How do they twisted?
  164. 10:36They twisted God's grace into the civiousness.
  165. 10:39They twisted God's grace into a license
  166. 10:42for all manner of wickedness.
  167. 10:46Lasciviousness and licentiousness
  168. 10:49is a particular application of wickedness
  169. 10:51in a sexually immoral display or engagement.
  170. 10:57God's grace was twisted into sexually rebellion.
  171. 11:06Kinda like, well, Delman Coates is spouting.
  172. 11:10Don't think I've forgotten about it, I might have it.
  173. 11:12I just have to give appropriate treatment to that.
  174. 11:15Diabolical, I can't call that a sermon,
  175. 11:19diabolical, sin espousing, endorsing,
  176. 11:22and advocating presentation.
  177. 11:26that if you embrace that notion, unrepentantly,
  178. 11:32you're in peril of eternal damnation.
  179. 11:38Similarly, truth requires grace.
  180. 11:43God doesn't want us overwhelming people,
  181. 11:51bludgeoning them with truth void of his grace.
  182. 11:58I remember when I was younger,
  183. 11:59and I've talked about this in the past,
  184. 12:09I'll just say it this way,
  185. 12:10I've matured a bit in my delivery,
  186. 12:12I'll just say it that way.
  187. 12:15Truth requires grace,
  188. 12:18but the interaction between grace and truth culminates
  189. 12:24in what Jesus exemplified with the woman
  190. 12:27who was caught in adultery.
  191. 12:30Woman, where are your accusers?
  192. 12:32Neither do I accuse you.
  193. 12:34Go your way, go your way.
  194. 12:38Jesus never contested what was presented
  195. 12:41in terms of her sin required judgment.
  196. 12:44Jesus never said, your sin no longer requires judgment.
  197. 12:48In that judgment, in that instance,
  198. 12:50was a mortal condemnation.
  199. 12:55The talents we had picked up stones.
  200. 12:59That judgment was a right judgment.
  201. 13:01But Jesus interceded on the woman's behalf and simply said,
  202. 13:05let you, who is without sin, meaning let you,
  203. 13:12who also is void of the necessity
  204. 13:15of having your sin judged,
  205. 13:18Many of you engaging and have engaged in sin that requires mortal condemnation as well.
  206. 13:23You let you who's without sin cast the first stone.
  207. 13:27In other words, you guys have made your judgment.
  208. 13:30You have made your assessment, right?
  209. 13:33Let you who has the right internal composition being guiltless concerned in the very same
  210. 13:41tone and tenon that you seek to apply to this woman.
  211. 13:44You are the only one who has the lawful authority to enforce the penalty that you've assessed.
  212. 13:50you who without sin, you cast the first stone to which the scripture records stones
  213. 14:00start hitting the ground and they all walk the way.
  214. 14:03With Jesus response, woman, where your accusers need to do I accuse you, go your way and send
  215. 14:12no more.
  216. 14:13The interaction between grace and truth doesn't result in an abuse of grace that perpetuates
  217. 14:22The rebellion.
  218. 14:25The interaction between grace and truth results in a gratitude
  219. 14:31in the heart of the One who has been benefited by grace.
  220. 14:37To live in truth that now responds accordingly
  221. 14:43to being a recipient of God's grace.
  222. 14:45Paul said, should sin abound because grace abounds?
  223. 14:48God forbid.
  224. 14:50And the Word became flesh and brought to among us,
  225. 14:53and we saw His glory.
  226. 14:55Full of grace and truth.
  227. 15:01One Million Moms has received complaints about an Arm and Hammer laundry commercial
  228. 15:05where Meg and trainer deliberately insinuates profanity.
  229. 15:08Instead of a wholesome commercial Arm and Hammer deliberately chose to produce something controversial.
  230. 15:14One Million Moms finds this highly inappropriate.
  231. 15:16Arm and Hammer should have the corporate responsibility not to offend families.
  232. 15:21Arm and Hammer needs to know that parents disapprove.
  233. 15:24at 1 million moms.com. That's 1 million moms.com.
  234. 15:28Shiting light into the darkness. This is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
  235. 15:40Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here. I'm going to try to get to some things today that
  236. 15:48you know I just ran out of time to address during the week. There's always so much going on.
  237. 15:55on always had far more show than I have time on the air.
  238. 16:00But I want to start with Elon Musk's announcement yesterday
  239. 16:06concerning his departure as a special government employee.
  240. 16:10Many of you may recall, I described
  241. 16:11that that was Elon Musk's formal status
  242. 16:16to serve as the head of Doge.
  243. 16:17And he did so in a volatine capacity
  244. 16:20and that you can only function in that capacity for so long
  245. 16:23before either becoming a paid employee or resigning from the position.
  246. 16:29And his announcement, you know, I must say, quote, as my scheduled time as a special
  247. 16:34government employee comes to an end, I would like to thank president at real
  248. 16:39Donald Trump. He posted this on next, by the way, for the opportunity to reduce
  249. 16:44wasteful spending. The Doge mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes
  250. 16:50a way of life throughout the government. And quote, and I said, you guys,
  251. 16:54before, Elon Musk is no fool. So there were there have been there. He put people in place long before
  252. 17:02now to continue the mission of those after his departure, because he could only serve in that capacity
  253. 17:07for the amount of time that he has been there. And the objective from the very beginning is for
  254. 17:14dozed to wrap up its work. I believe in two years was the original objective. I raised this
  255. 17:25because over the previous weekend, you know, Elon Musk was on the Sunday shows and he had
  256. 17:37some interesting things to say. This comes at a particular interesting time, a particularly
  257. 17:41interesting time because you have the legislation that was passed out of the House of Representatives,
  258. 17:46the, the, a big beautiful bill act.
  259. 17:50I'm, I every time I say that I chuckle, that's literally the name of the bill.
  260. 17:55You know, and it just, man, it seems when Democrats name bills, they always name them, you know,
  261. 18:03the quality act, you know, the respect for marriage act.
  262. 18:07They always have these wonderful sounding names,
  263. 18:10but then Republicans come away,
  264. 18:11a big beautiful bill act.
  265. 18:13You know, like what is, okay,
  266. 18:16we can't do anything better than that.
  267. 18:19You know, there's no better title for it other than that.
  268. 18:22And I expressed during the show I did from North Carolina,
  269. 18:26my conflict over the measure,
  270. 18:32because I understand the landscape as it is,
  271. 18:35very extremely narrow,
  272. 18:37Republican majority in house representatives,
  273. 18:40a little bit more breathing room in the Senate,
  274. 18:43but you also have the filibuster.
  275. 18:45So this is a measure that is being presented
  276. 18:47via the reconciliation process.
  277. 18:51So you have limits as to what you can do
  278. 18:53via reconciliation and I'm sensitive to that.
  279. 18:59But what happened to the Republican disdain
  280. 19:02for omnibus bills?
  281. 19:06So how do we navigate that?
  282. 19:08How do we balance that?
  283. 19:09I believe Speaker Johnson has done what he believes is,
  284. 19:12is believes is best in the circumstances
  285. 19:16and getting the bill through the House of Representatives.
  286. 19:18The Senate is considering it now.
  287. 19:20Several Republican senators, frankly,
  288. 19:22have come out expressing their concern
  289. 19:24about the legislation.
  290. 19:25Of course, the Democrat senators don't want it to pass,
  291. 19:29or well, let me say it this way.
  292. 19:32They won't publicly come out and endorse it,
  293. 19:37but you have a lot of Democrats spending priorities
  294. 19:39that in the bill.
  295. 19:40There's some things in the bill that I like, good things.
  296. 19:42There's some other things that I do not like.
  297. 19:45I mean, for example, with the massive debt we're in nationally,
  298. 19:48we're gonna hike the debt limit,
  299. 19:50another $4 trillion, that's what we're gonna do.
  300. 19:52And the spending cuts, where are they?
  301. 19:56Where are they?
  302. 20:00We have some no doubt about it,
  303. 20:01but are they sufficient in light of what we're facing with,
  304. 20:05Social Security, I'll just say it like this,
  305. 20:13being at a stage in a station that is sub-optimal,
  306. 20:19it's very interesting, but Elon Musk,
  307. 20:23he's going out, but he ain't going out quietly.
  308. 20:27On the CBS show, he was asked about the big beautiful bill
  309. 20:34and he questioned, well I should've said he posited,
  310. 20:39A bill can be either big or beautiful.
  311. 20:45It can't be both.
  312. 20:45Kind of sound like what I said from North Carolina.
  313. 20:47Listen to and watch clip number two, clip two go.
  314. 20:52So, you know, I was like disappointed to see
  315. 20:57the massive spending bill, frankly,
  316. 21:00which increases the budget deficit, not just decrease it.
  317. 21:03And it reminds the work that the Doge team is doing.
  318. 21:06I actually thought that when this big beautiful bill
  319. 21:08came along.
  320. 21:09everything he's done on Jones gets wiped out in the first year.
  321. 21:13I think a boat can be big or it can be beautiful.
  322. 21:17I don't know if it can be both. My personal opinion.
  323. 21:21Now I don't think this is a risky thing to say.
  324. 21:26Elon Musk helped President Trump win the White House.
  325. 21:30No doubt about it. No doubt about it.
  326. 21:34From campaigning for him to having created a political action
  327. 21:39Committee for funding. No doubt about it. Doge's whole thrust was to cut governmental wasteful,
  328. 21:51fraudulent, and unlawful spending with the specific objective to reduce the deficit. This
  329. 22:07bill does the exact opposite. And so it's one of those things, man, that I feel people's
  330. 22:14pain when they express perpetual frustration.
  331. 22:17Because it's like, wait a minute, man.
  332. 22:20No.
  333. 22:21All the stuff we did, all the campaigning, all the zeal and the energy surrounding doge.
  334. 22:27I mean, learning about the millions of people receiving federal funds and over 120 years
  335. 22:34of age.
  336. 22:35And it's like, so when one fell swoop, we could just trash all of that.
  337. 22:40But hey, if you got to deal with the world as it is and not how you want it to be, I
  338. 22:45get that, man.
  339. 22:46But why is it, I heard Representative Rokana on TV talking about what all the Democrat
  340. 22:56party has done.
  341. 22:58Why is it so often, Democrats set objectives and they accomplished it.
  342. 23:04I mean, you're going to have the creation of the on rep to a single payer, health insurance
  343. 23:10system in America called Obamacare.
  344. 23:14They passed that.
  345. 23:15You get that passed.
  346. 23:18comes to major structural institutional changes that need to happen in the conservative direction.
  347. 23:24It's always, you know, very small, move very lightly. You know, I've long said that the overwhelming
  348. 23:33spending crisis in Washington DC has been a bipartisan project. It's been a bipartisan project. And you
  349. 23:41see things like this, man, things like this, it puts a wet blanket on your excitement that we finally
  350. 23:48moving in the direction, we're learning about insane things that are happening with the government
  351. 23:55down. And then the very next thing, we got a big beautiful bill that's just gonna,
  352. 24:00four trillions of deficit, you know, dojoo, who let the doj out now? That being said,
  353. 24:09is reconciliation the proper measure considering, you know, the bird rule and the US Senate,
  354. 24:14is that the proper measure to, for example, codify the proposed cuts via from doj. I understand that
  355. 24:21argument. I'm sensitive to that argument. All right. But it feels like and I know feelings
  356. 24:29y'all I'm the guy who always says feelings are horrible generals but tremendous foot soldiers.
  357. 24:35But feelings are something we have to navigate as people and and feelings probably isn't the
  358. 24:39best description. The perception is I'll just speak for myself. Yeah, everybody know you want to see
  359. 24:46government, rain and spending you want to see you know DC operate the way that every American
  360. 24:51and family has to operate in terms of functioning
  361. 24:53within the budgetary constraints.
  362. 24:56What an idea, having a balanced budget.
  363. 24:58I mean, you know you want all of those things,
  364. 25:00but you just wait, you just wait.
  365. 25:02We'll get to that later.
  366. 25:03We'll get to that later.
  367. 25:04We'll get to that later.
  368. 25:05And then I'm just like, y'all understand what I'm understanding,
  369. 25:10you do realize President Trump is out in 2026, right?
  370. 25:19Not automatic.
  371. 25:21I know his term expires in 2028,
  372. 25:23But in 2026 is when you have the midterm elections
  373. 25:29and midterm campaign in for 2026 is about to start.
  374. 25:34It's about to start.
  375. 25:36Once we turn the corner hit the fall of 2025,
  376. 25:39you're gonna have senators
  377. 25:40beginning to ramp up their campaigns for the incumbents.
  378. 25:46You're gonna have vying for the open sentences.
  379. 25:49There have been the slew, several, I say a slew.
  380. 25:51There have been several Democrat senators
  381. 25:56who've announced that they are not seeking reelection.
  382. 25:58So those will be open seats.
  383. 26:01You'll have the congressional elections
  384. 26:02and the House of Representatives in the midterm.
  385. 26:05Congress is not gonna be focused on passing bills.
  386. 26:09Many of them are gonna be campaigning.
  387. 26:13And then you're gonna have, just like you have now,
  388. 26:16the deep state agitents using law fair,
  389. 26:21and then you're gonna have with the
  390. 26:23imminence and the pressing of the reelection
  391. 26:25and the election concerns,
  392. 26:26they're gonna try to run out the clock on President Trump.
  393. 26:31I hope and I pray and even like the conversations about, you know, Trump 2028.
  394. 26:36I think that's foolish.
  395. 26:37We know that what the Constitution says that meant.
  396. 26:40Constitutionalists are supposed to be the ones who adhere to what the Constitution says.
  397. 26:43So if you're trying to make the statement that in 2028, we need to continue
  398. 26:47America first policy that President Trump was made popular for and was elected
  399. 26:52for as he campaigned on them.
  400. 26:54Say that.
  401. 26:55Why not see America first 2028?
  402. 26:59Why not see America first 2024?
  403. 27:01America 1st, 2028 and America 1st always. Why not say that? I think some are trying to
  404. 27:09hitch their wagon to President Trump's personality, you know, but I think the GOP is going to have a
  405. 27:15rude awakening coming soon because I think they have conflated President Trump's popularity
  406. 27:21with the Republican Party's popularity. Now let me just tell you bluntly, they ain't the same chief,
  407. 27:27you had people voting for President Trump, they weren't voting for the Republican Party,
  408. 27:30And you have those who did vote for President Trump,
  409. 27:36that they are working to change what it means
  410. 27:40popularly to be a Republican.
  411. 27:43So I'm just, you drop that bomb.
  412. 27:49Elon Musk I'm talking about now,
  413. 27:51with this disappointment concerning the spending bill.
  414. 27:53I mean, the big beautiful bill act,
  415. 27:55and he says the bill can be either big,
  416. 27:57or it can be beautiful.
  417. 27:59I'm not so sure it can be both.
  418. 28:02I gotta tell ya, I disagree with Elon Musk
  419. 28:04on a lot of things, but I agree with him there.
  420. 28:06Like you saw him in that clip with his Occupy Mars shirt.
  421. 28:08Oh, he won Occupy Mars.
  422. 28:12This old boy want to put a robot in everybody's home.
  423. 28:14I'm not endorsing y'all to go see it,
  424. 28:16but I saw the movie, I robot.
  425. 28:19And if you look closely, the I robot robots
  426. 28:22look a lot like the Tesla robots.
  427. 28:24Am I lying, Jeff?
  428. 28:26They look a lot like the Tesla robots.
  429. 28:29You know, in NS5, robots are trying to take
  430. 28:34Will Smith's character out.
  431. 28:36You're having a car accident.
  432. 28:4011, I'm doing, I ain't in a car crash.
  433. 28:46You're about to be in a car accident.
  434. 28:50Nah, I haven't seen enough of those.
  435. 28:54You know, this is the same man.
  436. 28:56You know, he's a transhumanist.
  437. 28:57I told y'all before, I appreciate what he's doing.
  438. 29:00You know, I appreciate his stance on what he describes as a woke mind virus.
  439. 29:04You know, I recognize that he has, you know, been awakened by what has happened in his own life,
  440. 29:09own son, as he said, stripped from him
  441. 29:14because of the insanity of transgenderism.
  442. 29:17But this is also to do, you're talking about
  443. 29:19we need more babies, he needs more families,
  444. 29:22husbands and wives.
  445. 29:24You know what I'm saying?
  446. 29:25There are a lot of things I disagree with him about.
  447. 29:26But on this one, I don't know if you can have a bill,
  448. 29:29a big, the bill can be big or it can be beautiful.
  449. 29:33I'm not so sure it can be both.
  450. 29:35I'm not so sure.
  451. 29:37So again, the tension, the word as you would like it to be
  452. 29:40or the word as it is, that's the tension,
  453. 29:41doubt about it. Do we have equivalent resolve in Congress currently to immediately seek to
  454. 29:52codify the doge cuts? I mentioned several Republican senators objecting to the Big Beautiful Bill
  455. 29:59Act as his currently stands. You know, Senator Rick Scott, he indicated the need to apply line
  456. 30:13by line cuts to spending in this legislation. He said, quote, you've got to go through every
  457. 30:19line. Senator Rick Scott from Florida, I'm saying, he said quote, you've got to go through every line.
  458. 30:25You're not going to do enough if you just focus on the Green New Deal and you focus on making sure
  459. 30:29Medicaid goes back to its original purpose. The Green New Deal, that's not enough. I already,
  460. 30:40I played Senator Ron Johnson's comments for you from North Carolina. I'll go next to Senator Mike Lee.
  461. 30:46He said, he posted this on X quote, raise your hand. I should have said the artist formerly known
  462. 30:52as Twitter, that's what I call it. That's how long it'll say the next but I don't like calling
  463. 30:56and I just, I know you trying to have consistency
  464. 30:59in branding SpaceX, it's social media, man.
  465. 31:05You ain't going to Mars via social media.
  466. 31:08Senator Mike Lee said on the artist
  467. 31:10formerly known as Twitter, quote,
  468. 31:12raise your hand if you want Congress
  469. 31:13to codify the doge cuts, end quote.
  470. 31:17Senator Rand Paul,
  471. 31:19Senator Rand Paul said, quote,
  472. 31:21Congress can't cut spending through doge
  473. 31:24without the president sending a formal rescission bill.
  474. 31:27That's the law.
  475. 31:29It only takes a simple majority to pass,
  476. 31:31but so far, no bill has been sent.
  477. 31:34In this case, Congress is waiting on the White House."
  478. 31:37In quote, mm.
  479. 31:41Representative Keith South from Texas
  480. 31:43in the House of Representatives said this quote,
  481. 31:44I haven't heard anything about Doge.
  482. 31:46And as far as I know, we're not codifying Doge's findings
  483. 31:50as fast as we should end quote.
  484. 31:53Now that being said, there's a reality
  485. 31:56that reconciliation may not be the vehicle
  486. 31:59to implement Doge's cuts.
  487. 32:02Speaker Mike Johnson said the very said the very same thing
  488. 32:05following a statement by White House adviser Stephen Miller.
  489. 32:08Stephen Miller said quote Doge cuts are to discretionary spending.
  490. 32:13E.G. the federal bureaucracy.
  491. 32:15Under Senate budget rules, you cannot cut discretionary spending
  492. 32:19in a reconciliation bill.
  493. 32:21End quote.
  494. 32:21You can only cut mandatory spending.
  495. 32:24I understand that argument.
  496. 32:25More when we come back from this break.
  497. 32:30All right, Sandy Rios with you.
  498. 32:31One more drama playing out.
  499. 32:33Is the sky falling? Are we going into a recession? Are you going to lose all of your 401k? Are you going to lose your job?
  500. 32:40Are you going to be able to afford groceries?
  501. 32:41People better be trained in their kids, get back into church, Sunday school, read in the Bible.
  502. 32:46That revolution will save this country.
  503. 32:48We've got a political revolution now. We need a spiritual revolution.
  504. 32:52Sandy Rios on Sandy Rios 24-7. Listen on the podcast page at aFR.net.
  505. 32:59Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Common Terrets are available at
  506. 33:08AFR.net back to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
  507. 33:14Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton III here. We're talking
  508. 33:18about the big beautiful beautiful beautiful bill act so far. And before we
  509. 33:25went to the break I was explaining that I understand the reconciliation process
  510. 33:29in the Senate's bird rule that makes it difficult for the Senate or should I, yeah, for the Senate
  511. 33:37to make changes to a legislation through the reconciliation process that are not primarily
  512. 33:43budgetary in nature. I understand that. Doge cuts are what would be directed toward discretionary
  513. 33:58spending and it's funny that one of the strange quirks in the Senate's process is that increases
  514. 34:11in discretionary spending have not been scored as mandatory spending in the past since it didn't
  515. 34:18include appropriations committees. So basically they just sidesteped appropriations committees
  516. 34:23and so is because the appropriations committees are not involved. Voila discretionary. The
  517. 34:33Economic Policy Innovation Center explains, quote,
  518. 34:36unspent discretionary funds could be rescinded in theory,
  519. 34:40but this would have to involve the appropriations committees,
  520. 34:43receiving spending instructions,
  521. 34:45which has not happened since fiscal year 1982,
  522. 34:50before the Senate's Byrd rule was instituted.
  523. 34:55I'll add, I guess I'll just say this way,
  524. 34:58I should have looked this up.
  525. 35:00But was it Obamacare passed to reconciliation?
  526. 35:05What was that past or direct financial process?
  527. 35:09I may need to look that up.
  528. 35:13But I'm just saying it just seems like the things
  529. 35:17that would be constitutionally aligned,
  530. 35:19you always have to kick down the street, kick the campers
  531. 35:21or down the street.
  532. 35:22And I don't know, they're regressing people
  533. 35:23that would want more regressive policies
  534. 35:26and implemented as well.
  535. 35:28But I just feel like on big things,
  536. 35:31big things that need to happen,
  537. 35:34Regressive seemed to implement them more consistently than constitutionalist efforts.
  538. 35:44The only exception I could say is when you have to have Republicans advocating for legislation
  539. 35:53that cuts tax rates, albeit sometimes they sunset.
  540. 36:02Jeff, do you recall that being a sunset provision on Obamacare?
  541. 36:11Yeah.
  542. 36:12Yeah, no, no, there's no sunset provision in Obamacare
  543. 36:17You know what I mean by sunset meaning that well, we'll implement this policy, but after x amount of years it automatically goes away
  544. 36:28No, there's there's no sunset provision in a matter of fact Obamacare still in a silly effect currently with this exception that the
  545. 36:36penalty for not having health insurance
  546. 36:39Has been zeroed out
  547. 36:42But the law is still in place.
  548. 36:46So all that would need to happen for the Obamacare horrors
  549. 36:48to come right back to us,
  550. 36:50specifically requiring every American citizen
  551. 36:53to have insurance or else,
  552. 36:55is that you amend the existing law
  553. 36:58to raise the penalty.
  554. 37:02And that is a wonder.
  555. 37:05Obamacare, every this past reconciliation,
  556. 37:07they have no sunset.
  557. 37:09But the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from 2017,
  558. 37:11it has a sunset.
  559. 37:13Oh, funny how that tends to happen.
  560. 37:19Just man.
  561. 37:22Something else that happened this week
  562. 37:23that I wanted to bring to your attention,
  563. 37:25that I didn't have the opportunity to get to.
  564. 37:30I have to tell you, and I have to be honest,
  565. 37:32when I'm right, I'm right, when I'm wrong,
  566. 37:35I'm gonna admit that I'm wrong.
  567. 37:36And I won't say I was wrong completely,
  568. 37:39because this is just the truth.
  569. 37:40I didn't say that I completely objected
  570. 37:42to his position here, but I just wasn't so sure about him.
  571. 37:47And I'm talking about Marco Rubio as Secretary of State.
  572. 37:51But I have to say, Marco Rubio has been doing an amazing job as Secretary of State.
  573. 37:55So far, I mean, the things he's putting out, he's putting out policy, position, papers on
  574. 38:00sub-stack and what he's doing, what he's doing. He came into his position, his position, man,
  575. 38:08listen, we ain't playing. We ain't playing, we going in. And it's obvious the way that he's doing his job.
  576. 38:15up. I have to say so far, Marco Rubio has been doing a tremendous job as United States
  577. 38:22Secretary of State. Something that may seem small, but I would argue that it is substantive,
  578. 38:29is that Marco Rubio as Secretary of State has shut down the office of Palestinian affairs
  579. 38:38and has consolidated its operation into the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem. Let me explain a
  580. 38:45bit of what it is. The Office of Palestinian Affairs, the OPA, also I refer to here on
  581. 38:52out as the OPA, the OPA operated operated as a quasi independent diplomatic mission to the
  582. 39:00Palestinians, Palestinian Authority. The head of the OPA did not report to the US ambassador
  583. 39:10in Jerusalem, no. The head of the OPA side stepped the US ambassador in Jerusalem and
  584. 39:19remade his report directly to the State Department. So with that resulted in, this is I'm telling
  585. 39:30you, it's amazing. And I know some of you might have known this, some of you may not
  586. 39:33of known this. But what that resulted in is a two tracks, if you will, of diplomacy in
  587. 39:43Israel. One tracked toward Israel, an entirely separate track for the self-described Palestinian
  588. 39:54Authority. That wouldn't be confusing at all, would it? The U.S. ambassador is stationed
  589. 40:09in Jerusalem, its presence at the heart of Jerusalem.
  590. 40:17You then had the OPA with the separate diplomatic track
  591. 40:27that had its report separate from the U.S. Embassy.
  592. 40:30So whenever you communicating something
  593. 40:32into the Middle East and to Israel in particular,
  594. 40:34you would have two separate means of communication.
  595. 40:41I mean, not to mention we have the Jerusalem
  596. 40:43as the Embassy Act of 1995
  597. 40:44which recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's capital
  598. 40:47and directs that the US embassy be located there.
  599. 40:50You know, you had that.
  600. 40:59Well, this isn't the first time the Trump administration
  601. 41:01has ordered the closure of the OPA,
  602. 41:04because when Trump was president previously,
  603. 41:08the OPA was closed in 2019 for precisely the exact same reasons.
  604. 41:11But see what happened was,
  605. 41:13Mr. Joseph Robinette became the Oval Office occupant.
  606. 41:17He reopened the OPA,
  607. 41:19resurrecting the two tracked approach
  608. 41:22of diplomatic engagement in Israel.
  609. 41:24entirely separate from the US ambassador to Israel.
  610. 41:32And so, President Trump, once again,
  611. 41:35this time through Marco Rubio as the Secretary of State,
  612. 41:38has shut down the office of Palestine and the affairs.
  613. 41:43Now, it's just interesting to me,
  614. 41:45because people, you know, you're not surprised,
  615. 41:48but there's people screaming bloody murder over this,
  616. 41:51the usual suspect, that people that are always screaming
  617. 41:53but bloody murder over anything,
  618. 41:56that is right or true or sane or constitutional.
  619. 41:59It's the same people.
  620. 42:07You have this consistent effort to try to treat different people
  621. 42:15with different convictions and commitments
  622. 42:17as if they're the same guys.
  623. 42:20It says plainly, we have mothers they not too long ago.
  624. 42:24Mothers at Hamas moms ain't looking for the same thing
  625. 42:26that other people in the civilized world are looking for.
  626. 42:30You have these moms that cheer if their children die
  627. 42:34to advanced terrorism.
  628. 42:36It's not the same.
  629. 42:39And you had the gruesome murder of Yaron Laskinski
  630. 42:46and Sarah Milgram outside of the Capitol Jewish Museum
  631. 42:50just last week.
  632. 42:52Now both of them worked in the Israel's embassy
  633. 42:56to the United States, the couple that were planning
  634. 43:00to be married, the very next week,
  635. 43:02which would have been this week,
  636. 43:03they were planning to go to Israel,
  637. 43:05where your own Lishinsky was going to propose a Sarah Milgram,
  638. 43:08from what I understand, your own Shilinski,
  639. 43:11Lishinsky was a Messianic Jew.
  640. 43:18I mean, he was a believer in Yeshua's Messiah,
  641. 43:20the Yeshua's the Messiah.
  642. 43:25But you have the, you know, have to call it a lead,
  643. 43:31because it hasn't been the trial yet,
  644. 43:33but you have the murder that takes place right outside
  645. 43:35at the Capitol Jewish Museum.
  646. 43:36And you have, you know, the shooter
  647. 43:44Removing all doubt as to his motivation.
  648. 43:48Listen to him, watch clip number one, clip one, go.
  649. 43:53Yaron Laskinski and Sarah Milgram had just left an event
  650. 43:56for young Jewish professionals at the Capitol Jewish Museum.
  651. 44:00They emerged onto the street where a gunman was waiting.
  652. 44:04A guy came up and looked like gun.
  653. 44:09I couldn't tell what it was.
  654. 44:10I shot this young couple.
  655. 44:13After the execution in the street, witnesses
  656. 44:15say the shooter walked into
  657. 44:17the museum and bragged about
  658. 44:21reaches into his backpack
  659. 44:24and says I did it. I did th
  660. 44:28Palestine. He was still c
  661. 44:32took him away. People like
  662. 44:41as police take him away.
  663. 44:45travel from Chicago to com
  664. 44:49this act of terrorism and
  665. 44:54this murderous act of terrorism. I know people want to be skittish about that, you know, the
  666. 45:01whole, the federal definition for a terrorist act is an act of violence in order to perpetuate
  667. 45:06a political objective. He's yelling free, free Palestine. Yeah, yeah, I think it's a good
  668. 45:14idea to close the office of Palestine in affairs. Yeah, yeah, it's a good idea. We don't
  669. 45:19need two tracks of diplomacy in Israel. We don't need two tracks of diplomacy in Israel.
  670. 45:30And you know the thing that and I haven't seen this reported very much and it's possible that maybe I just haven't seen it
  671. 45:37But it is being reported. Do you realize that a part of the the reason for the gathering at the capital Jewish Museum?
  672. 45:47That your own Laskinski and Sarah Milgram were gathered to participate in
  673. 45:52They were strategizing and and discussing ways of
  674. 45:57getting humanitarian aid to Gazans
  675. 46:00You know and again as maybe people are reporting this
  676. 46:09and I just haven't seen it, but that's the event that they were attempting. So
  677. 46:19Yaron Laskinski and Sarah Milgram were there planning, strategizing, attempting to
  678. 46:28discuss resources to get humanitarian aid to thousands and upon exiting that
  679. 46:36event is when they were murdered. You can't make this stuff up, man. You cannot
  680. 46:46make this stuff up. It's just, it's, it's, it's exceedingly sad to me that you continue to have in the
  681. 46:57face of evident factual information, efforts to try to make moral equivalents and circumstances like this,
  682. 47:06which means you're right back to where we started the program. In order to be a people that is gracious
  683. 47:12to where the grace of God permeates our engagement,
  684. 47:16we must have truth.
  685. 47:20It is not loving to sidestep truth in an effort
  686. 47:27to pacify people.
  687. 47:31We gotta have truth.
  688. 47:33It's the reality of the truth that moves one
  689. 47:36to be able to fully appreciate and embrace.
  690. 47:40Grace, we beheld him, Jesus, yeshua,
  691. 47:49the anointed one, Messiah, full of grace and truth.
  692. 47:53We must be a people full of grace and truth.
  693. 47:57And something I've learned has been an effective tool in evangelism
  694. 48:01is that when you're dealing with people,
  695. 48:05that you present the law to the proud,
  696. 48:08and present grace to the humble,
  697. 48:13presenting the law to the proud and grace to the humble.
  698. 48:19I pray you have a wonderful, wonderful weekend.
  699. 48:21Lord willing will be back Monday live on the program.
  700. 48:26And then we'll be on the road later that week broadcasting live from
  701. 48:30Bourbon A, Illinois at the ICHE conference.
  702. 48:34You all have a wonderful weekend.
