  1. 0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
  2. 0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
  3. 0:07This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
  4. 0:11It 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. 0:24Even in this dark moment.
  9. 0:26Let's not miss our moment.
  10. 0:29And now the Hamilton Corner.
  11. 0:33Good evening. Welcome to the Hamilton Corner. I'm your host, Abraham Hamilton. The third joined by
  12. 0:38the corner contingent. We have a full house today as we are a few days away from celebrating the
  13. 0:45two hundred forty ninth year of our independence from Great Britain. The reason why I don't have to
  14. 0:54know anything about any royal families. I'm not worried about the duchess and the dukes and the
  15. 0:59the princes and the pukes and you name them.
  16. 1:03I'm not thinking about them.
  17. 1:05Praise be to God for the United States of America
  18. 1:09and his sovereignty and allowing our nation
  19. 1:11to come to the fore really of its establishment
  20. 1:14and also in a short time, really to ascend
  21. 1:16to the dominant nation in the world.
  22. 1:18It's amazing how remarkable, well,
  23. 1:20it's amazing and remarkable that that happened
  24. 1:23in such a short amount of time.
  25. 1:25We still remain a relatively young nation
  26. 1:28you consider that the longevity of nations around the world, but yet God's hand has been
  27. 1:35on our nation for quite some time. But I do question whether or not people one recognize
  28. 1:42that to value it and three, whether or not it would be an enduring phenomenon going forward.
  29. 1:52At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you are making your transition from your
  30. 1:55part time jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs where you cultivate
  31. 2:00an outcome. And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality, understanding
  32. 2:05the primacy that God places on the family. We're actually going to talk about that a little
  33. 2:10bit in this segment and allowing the primacy that God places on family to guide your engagement
  34. 2:17in daily living. I am joined as is our custom here by the corner contingent I mentioned right
  35. 2:24across from me, my man, a hundred grand Mr. Bobby, her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her,
  36. 2:28Produce extraordinaire in the screening room often imitating never duplicated the real J. Mac and
  37. 2:34Your friendly neighborhood with a holic you ask him how he's doing
  38. 2:38fairly partly cloudy with a slight chance of brain
  39. 2:42It's Marty Sparks ladies and gentlemen lighten up the dark from there because I will tell you now
  40. 2:48That we're gonna open the phone lines in the third segment
  41. 2:51so get your
  42. 2:54Diling fingers ready because I want to have a conversation with you
  43. 2:58And as we go through the program, I want to get your reaction primarily.
  44. 3:01We're going to talk about some of these Supreme Court decisions that have been rendered recently.
  45. 3:06And inquire as to what do they say about the state of our nation?
  46. 3:10Additionally, what do they say about the state of the church?
  47. 3:13I want to welcome you to weigh in on that in the third segment.
  48. 3:17But as I've mentioned earlier, you're making your transition, most of you, at this juncture.
  49. 3:23Although I know we have some doing it in opposite directions.
  50. 3:25people are on their way to their part-time jobs.
  51. 3:28And no matter how you are tuning in and engaging the program, we thank you for doing so.
  52. 3:33Our podcast listeners, our live radio listeners, our live video streamers, our television show
  53. 3:38watchers, no matter how you're tuning in, we are grateful for you doing so.
  54. 3:42Because the simple reality is without your engagement and support, there would be no program.
  55. 3:47And it is because you enjoy the show that we continue to offer it to you.
  56. 3:53I want to remind you that what we try to accomplish,
  57. 3:56and I do know some days I feel like we are more effective
  58. 3:59than others, is to aid you in establishing a biblical framework
  59. 4:04through which we navigate the issues of the day.
  60. 4:06We don't want to try to engage in today's matters,
  61. 4:11but to do so severed from the truth of God's word.
  62. 4:15And I know some of you are listening to the show,
  63. 4:17are tuning into the show right now.
  64. 4:18You would say, well, Abraham, I don't share your biblical conviction,
  65. 4:22But I think what you say makes a lot of sense that I can tell you it happens so
  66. 4:25often as I travel, meet people, it'll, many conversations will begin.
  67. 4:29Man, I couldn't stand you when I first heard you on a radio, but I kept listening.
  68. 4:34Then after a while, I started realizing that you make a little bit of sense.
  69. 4:38Then after a while, I realized you made a lot of sense that happens so often.
  70. 4:41So if you are in that ilk right now, you're saying, Oh, here he goes.
  71. 4:44I can't stand him.
  72. 4:46Well, keep listening and invite you to keep listening to the word of God.
  73. 4:50we go, we're going to begin the program in Ephesians chapter five. Ephesians chapter
  74. 4:55five, many of you have perused the scripture for some of you. This will be your first time
  75. 5:01hearing this, but I want to point out something to you from God's word Ephesians chapter five,
  76. 5:09verse 22 and Marie to verse 26. Then I'm going to read in chapter six of Paul's Epistle
  77. 5:18to the Ephesians. The scripture says this, wives, be subject, who postososgrit were there,
  78. 5:25to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ
  79. 5:31also is the head of the church, he himself being the savior of the body. But as the church
  80. 5:38is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands and everything. Husbands
  81. 5:45love your wives. Just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself up for her so that he might
  82. 5:54sanctify her having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word. I've explained to you before
  83. 6:02starting in verse 22. It appears to be a command to wife solely, but it's not because of the Greek
  84. 6:08term employed, Hoopostaso. When it says, why is it subject to your own husbands? The term
  85. 6:14in the term, who postasso, which is translated in the N.S. being 95 that I'm reading now, as
  86. 6:19be subject to some translations say, submit yourselves that word literally means this.
  87. 6:28Hoopostasso is translated into the English compound word sub mission or sub and meter,
  88. 6:37sub meaning under meter, M.I.T.R.E. meaning vision. The call for wives to submit themselves
  89. 6:44to their husbands is not a calling to subjugate oneself to biology.
  90. 6:50It is a calling to voluntarily invest yourself
  91. 6:54in the vision for your family.
  92. 6:56So what is being articulated is that the Lord is saying
  93. 7:00through the Apostle Paul for men to be biblically qualified
  94. 7:03for marriage.
  95. 7:04And I know there are lots of examples
  96. 7:05and circumstances that derogate from this,
  97. 7:07but with the Scriptures explaining for men
  98. 7:09to be biblically qualified to be joined to a wife
  99. 7:12that man must have a vision for the family he seeks to found and must be affirmatively
  100. 7:20taking steps toward it.
  101. 7:23The other thing I want to say is that the term Hupostaso is a military term, and it's
  102. 7:27one that communicates a voluntary submission.
  103. 7:29It cannot be compelled externally.
  104. 7:32It is an internal disposition that's made evident in one's conduct.
  105. 7:37thing I will say is that the call to this voluntary who postasso is not a generalized
  106. 7:44call of males. I'm sorry, females being submitted to males. It is a covenantal one, which is
  107. 7:51why the scripture says, why is the subject to your own husband's? It is a covenantal context.
  108. 7:58All right. There's no need for a woman to be subject to some other man. It's no need for
  109. 8:06a woman who was a wife to one man to be a suitable helper for someone other than her husband.
  110. 8:13It is a covenantal reality.
  111. 8:16But notice the object always is as to the Lord.
  112. 8:22You then see verse 26, the command to husband to love your wives, the command to husband to
  113. 8:28love their wives is not merely an emotional investment.
  114. 8:32And actually is an a call to voluntary willing self sacrificial love.
  115. 8:41It requires husbands to live in such a way with our wives to our our wives know on a daily
  116. 8:46basis that we will lay our lives down for them.
  117. 8:52So often we have people who abuse this text and use it as if God is allowing men to be
  118. 8:59You know, machismo and me man, chest pounding.
  119. 9:02It's actually a call to die.
  120. 9:06It's a call to be the type of house band,
  121. 9:10to where nobody has taken bullets.
  122. 9:12We're taking bullets for everybody
  123. 9:13under our jurisdiction within our care.
  124. 9:15This reciprocal interchange between husbands and wives
  125. 9:20is the only human institution in scripture
  126. 9:23that the Lord continuously allows to be illustrative
  127. 9:26of Christ and the church.
  128. 9:29The only one.
  129. 9:31It's the only one.
  130. 9:33This is why I've said before,
  131. 9:35there's such intense and outsized warfare
  132. 9:40against the Amago dei, image bearers as individuals,
  133. 9:43so much warfare against marriage,
  134. 9:48so much warfare against husbands and wives.
  135. 9:55That's why there's such intense warfare.
  136. 9:58Similarly in this exact same epistle,
  137. 10:00as the Spirit of God is moving the Apostle Paul
  138. 10:02to close the epistle, you have this command and I'll explain why I'm saying these are commands.
  139. 10:06He feeds in chapter 6 verse 4, the scripture says, within the exact same context of just
  140. 10:14illustrated where Christ is the object, wives engagement and participation in marriage is
  141. 10:19as unto the Lord, husbands engagement and participation in marriage is as unto the Lord.
  142. 10:25Ephesians 6, 4 says, fathers do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in
  143. 10:32the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Some translations read that phrasing, the
  144. 10:37nurture and admonition of the Lord. Similar to Ephesians 5-22, when I said that the command
  145. 10:43in 5-22, it's addressing wives directly, but it's also an intrinsic instruction to males,
  146. 10:49specifically to husbands, prospective husbands, and husbands. This instruction is a command
  147. 10:55to fathers as being ultimately accountable, but it is not limited to fathers as simply
  148. 11:01saying fathers, you are ultimately responsible for this being executed. Very similar to the
  149. 11:07command in the garden, can turn in the tree in the center of the garden, applied to both
  150. 11:10Adam and Eve equally, but Adam was ultimately held responsible for the violation. Everybody
  151. 11:17with me. All right. When the scripture says fathers do not provoke your children, it's
  152. 11:22a command to fathers that's ultimately responsible, but God is not subject to the deficiencies
  153. 11:28of one Justice Kautaji Brown Jackson, God is not one who is
  154. 11:31is ignorant of the notion that in order for there to be a father,
  155. 11:35you have to have a mother in order for there to be a father.
  156. 11:39It by necessity requires a mother's participation.
  157. 11:43So the instruction, the command is to fathers and mothers,
  158. 11:46but with fathers ultimately responsible for the implementation
  159. 11:49and execution of the command.
  160. 11:51All right, make sense?
  161. 11:53Fathers do not provoke your children.
  162. 11:56Rather, in contrast to that provocation, rear them.
  163. 12:00in the discipline and instruction of the Lord, the pidea and the nuthisia of the Lord.
  164. 12:06The word pidea literally means the whole training of the mind and the morals.
  165. 12:13The whole training, the scriptures indicate, not indicating, it's commanding fathers. This is
  166. 12:20your responsibility. Fathers, you with the participation of your wives, the mother of your
  167. 12:26children, you are responsible for this coming into fruition. I've explained that this is a command
  168. 12:32Paul's he pitched it to the Ephesians, the first half is written in Greek in the
  169. 12:35indicative mood indicating who we are. The second half is written in the
  170. 12:41imperative mood. These are commands. This is not optional. It's not optional. This is
  171. 12:49ground zero foundational. This is one of the major reasons why I say the first
  172. 12:53institution that got created was the family with marriage at the center. Why did
  173. 12:57God create the family as his first institution with marriage at the center?
  174. 13:00because it is the primary institution that is vested with the obligation of
  175. 13:05generational fidelity to the King of glory. It doesn't mean we can't have others who
  176. 13:12aid us, but if those, if we have people aid us, it doesn't take away from us that it's
  177. 13:16our primary responsibility. But what has largely happened, there has been almost
  178. 13:22like a suesane seduction in society to where our children being reared in the
  179. 13:27nurturing admonition of the Lord has been made a secondary phenomenon in practice.
  180. 13:31We've allowed the popular, popular ideas of education to be degraded to the fact or degraded
  181. 13:40to the place to where we only see education as being directly related to occupations.
  182. 13:48Can I tell you something?
  183. 13:49The idea of education being tied to future occupation comes straight from, wait for it, the Karl
  184. 13:55Marx-Frederick Ingalls understanding.
  185. 13:58I mean, biblically speaking, the objective of pidea is the whole training of the mind and
  186. 14:07the morals, making one fit to function within God's economy.
  187. 14:14Others have articulated as the objective of instruction, we call it education, but it really
  188. 14:20is cultivation of the mind, but biblically the mind should never be cultivated in the absence
  189. 14:24of the morals being cultivated.
  190. 14:26ever pined that it is the establishment or the cultivation or the rearing towards virtue.
  191. 14:32But we don't often recognize just how much, worldly dare I say, anti-Christ dribble we
  192. 14:41have imbibed and made normal.
  193. 14:45So much so to it's strange to us to ponder, wait a minute, education shouldn't be something
  194. 14:55driving towards some occupation.
  195. 14:57A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
  196. 15:05John chapter 1 beginning in verse 1. That which was from the beginning which we've heard,
  197. 15:11which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and our hands have handled concerning
  198. 15:17the word of life. The life was manifested and we've seen in bear witness and declared to you
  199. 15:23that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us, that which we have seen
  200. 15:29and heard we declare to you that you also may have fellowship with us. Truly our fellowship is
  201. 15:35with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
  202. 15:38And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.
  203. 15:43This is the message which we have heard from Him
  204. 15:46and declare to you that God is light and in Him
  205. 15:49is no darkness at all.
  206. 15:52If we say that we have no fellowship with Him,
  207. 15:54we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
  208. 16:05Shiting light into the darkness,
  209. 16:07This is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
  210. 16:11Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton
  211. 16:14the third here.
  212. 16:14And some of y'all recognize I forgot to add in.
  213. 16:17Some folks prefer.
  214. 16:19Some folks prefer.
  215. 16:21The jams are preserves in the jar.
  216. 16:22Well, you take what you want, but I'll
  217. 16:24stay with double R, read ridders in the studio
  218. 16:26with this ladies and gentlemen.
  219. 16:27Y'all thought I forgot about it.
  220. 16:29Well, I did, but I got it back.
  221. 16:30I got it back.
  222. 16:32All right.
  223. 16:33So the US Supreme Court has made several decisions,
  224. 16:37And I do want to weigh into the substance and the merit of the decisions,
  225. 16:42but I want to extrapolate from the decisions to have a broader conversation.
  226. 16:47The first of which, and I mentioned with this happened, all of these decisions were six, three.
  227. 16:53How you could have three
  228. 16:55dissenters from these historically,
  229. 17:00foundationally normative decisions is just syndicative as to where we are.
  230. 17:05So the first one that I alluded to was decided, well, all of these are the first ones that
  231. 17:12decided the week before last, the Scramedic case.
  232. 17:15All right, this is the case that came from Tennessee.
  233. 17:18We've talked about this at length.
  234. 17:19It's a very, very simple notion that was addressed in that case.
  235. 17:26The state of Tennessee passed a law via its legislature.
  236. 17:29The governor signed the law, signed the passed the bill, the governor signed the bill into
  237. 17:33law that simply said that minors in the state of Tennessee cannot be subjected to
  238. 17:39chemical-crash-trading drugs nor genital mutilation surgeries in the name of transgenderism.
  239. 17:45That's it. That's it. The 6-3 decision the court ruled, yeah, right, right, the
  240. 17:54Bobby's laughing because it is gallingly sad but you can see this repeated notion that you
  241. 18:05You have people who are willing to engage in all types of sinful behavior, but they are
  242. 18:15more than willing to sacrifice children in the process of them pursuing what they want.
  243. 18:21This is no different guys than the biblical examples of sacrifices to Molek and others,
  244. 18:31of the un, uh, some of the CD details of, you know, by all more like worship and what
  245. 18:37you'll find is that really they always were the same demon, but they have different names
  246. 18:40based on what nations they were in.
  247. 18:43One of the features is that these pagan worship rites included shrine and temple prostitution.
  248. 18:52No different than prostitution in the 15th century, 16th century, 17th century, 18th century,
  249. 18:5719th century.
  250. 18:58of the inevitable consequences of prostitution has been children were produced.
  251. 19:05But because of the pursuits being whether they are puriant carnal pursuits in terms of
  252. 19:15the physicality or economic pursuits, it will end to kill children in furtherance of them.
  253. 19:22The same rings true today.
  254. 19:25So now you had, you had people who are making these arguments.
  255. 19:29I told you guys that a woman who calls herself a man, identifies herself by the name of Chase
  256. 19:35Strangio, argued from the posture that a two year old can know if they happen to be born
  257. 19:41in the wrong body.
  258. 19:44And what society should do, and the believer most importantly is evaluate that in light of
  259. 19:49the truth of God's work and in light of the truth of scripture.
  260. 19:56Are we really willing to say that four, five, six, seven, eight, nine-year-olds, ten-year-olds,
  261. 20:0311-year-olds?
  262. 20:04They know enough to make these, in many cases, permanent, irreversible decisions, permanent,
  263. 20:16irreversible decisions.
  264. 20:18Guys, there's a reason why we don't allow children to get drivers license to certain
  265. 20:23ages.
  266. 20:24reason why we have more scrutiny concerning people getting tattoos on their bodies, then
  267. 20:32we would have if Tennessee's law wasn't passed and ultimately sustained concerning children
  268. 20:37and what they do in mutilating their bodies.
  269. 20:42Our wicked culture has all of these alphabet mafia zealots, but they won't centralize the
  270. 20:49scores, the many, many, many thousands and millions of people would say, man, yeah, I
  271. 20:54I regret it.
  272. 20:54I regret it.
  273. 20:56They won't ever put them front and center.
  274. 20:59At a minimum, as a society, we should be able to say,
  275. 21:03you know, we probably shouldn't let this happen to children.
  276. 21:07You know, a 12 year old girl going through what they've identified
  277. 21:13as rapid onset gender dysphoria.
  278. 21:15What's another synonym from your experience?
  279. 21:19You listen to me, many of you, like me,
  280. 21:21I'm homeschooling my children, but I wasn't homeschooled.
  281. 21:25You're listening to me.
  282. 21:26What was another description for rapid onset gender dysphoria, which the studies show is only seems to be hindering young
  283. 21:34Preteen and early teenage girls. What do you call that? I'll give you a hint. Have you ever been in the place? Well?
  284. 21:40You have one early teen preteen or teenage girl, and they say I have to go to the bathroom. What happens next usually often
  285. 21:47They all go to the bathroom together one say I gotta go to bathroom. You have to go to bathroom girl
  286. 21:54You have to go to the bathroom. Yeah, we have to go to the bathroom. So one person becomes five girls young girls all going to the bathroom together
  287. 22:00Yeah, we almost going on rapid on said gender
  288. 22:08House is I'd have been pumping these ideas, you know, you follow the matriculation of
  289. 22:17Toward third wave feminism, you know, women are just as good as any woman is just as good as a man
  290. 22:25a woman that need a man, the best women are men.
  291. 22:31You see that happening, so you have these
  292. 22:34impressionable young girls who now say,
  293. 22:36yeah, and to further my commitment here,
  294. 22:39I want to cut off my very natural, fully functioning
  295. 22:47mammary glands.
  296. 22:48You gonna let children do that?
  297. 22:50It's insane.
  298. 22:53Greatfully, we currently have a Supreme Court
  299. 22:58that would affirm a state's ability to do so.
  300. 23:01But let me explain something else though.
  301. 23:04Supreme Court made the decision to say,
  302. 23:05yes, that Tennessee can protect their minor citizens
  303. 23:09and also articulate in any state that endeavors to do likewise,
  304. 23:13they can also protect their minor citizens.
  305. 23:15But we must not forget there are states
  306. 23:19that are not interested in protecting their minor citizens
  307. 23:21from this craziness.
  308. 23:24States like Minnesota,
  309. 23:29Well, they want to do the exact opposite.
  310. 23:33They want to rescue children.
  311. 23:35That's what they say.
  312. 23:36Rescue children from their parents' bigotry.
  313. 23:42So thankfully, the Supreme Court upheld Tennessee's ability
  314. 23:45to protect its minor citizens,
  315. 23:48but that doesn't do anything for children
  316. 23:51who don't live in those states,
  317. 23:53don't live in Tennessee in states
  318. 23:54that will protect children from that.
  319. 23:58What about those states?
  320. 24:02What about those circumstances?
  321. 24:04Then you have, I talked to you about this case before,
  322. 24:09finally we finally got a decision on it. This was released Friday last week. The
  323. 24:15case is stopped my mood versus Taylor. This is the case from the Montgomery
  324. 24:21County School District in Maryland. And I'll just I've explained it before but I
  325. 24:29want to remind you some of the details. I'll read to you some of the facts directly
  326. 24:32from Justice Thomas' dissent which he gives us a little historical assessment.
  327. 24:43But it's amazing to consider that this is what parents had to put up with, right?
  328. 24:52Families have to put up with this from their own governments.
  329. 24:56Justice Thomas writing quote, the Board of Education of Montgomery County adopted a series
  330. 25:00of controversial LGBTQ plus inclusive storybooks for use in its pre-kindergarten through fifth
  331. 25:09grade English language arts curriculum.
  332. 25:11Now let's just pause and reflect on that.
  333. 25:14The Montgomery County School Board adopted books for its English language art curriculum
  334. 25:23for pre-kindergarten children through fifth grade.
  335. 25:30You understand me?
  336. 25:31You are literally talking about four-year-olds, maybe three-year-olds, some instances, but
  337. 25:37let's just say four-year-olds up to 10 and 11-year-olds.
  338. 25:42That is who we're talking about.
  339. 25:44All right?
  340. 25:45Three and four year olds, potentially up to 10 and 11 year olds.
  341. 25:50All right.
  342. 25:51Back to Justice Thomas's concurrence.
  343. 25:55Hundreds of parents raised religious objections and sought to use the boards
  344. 26:00then existing apt out policy to exclude their children from lessons involving
  345. 26:06these books.
  346. 26:08The board responded by removing the opt out option.
  347. 26:13And then even refused to provide parents with notice of when schools would use the material.
  348. 26:23End quote.
  349. 26:24Now think about this guys.
  350. 26:27Pre-kindergarteners to fifth grade.
  351. 26:30Four year olds to ten and eleven year olds.
  352. 26:33The county used to have an opt out provision.
  353. 26:36Then the county said, nah, we ain't letting anybody opt out anymore.
  354. 26:40And not only that, you can't opt out and we won't give you notice parents of when we're
  355. 26:45going to use these books.
  356. 26:47And in the case, and I'll show you some of it, there's an appendix that shows the books
  357. 26:52that were at issue in the case, diabolical.
  358. 26:59You know, people have been up in arms rightly so about, you know, Zoramam Dhani, the Democrat
  359. 27:05nominee for New York mayor and his idea amongst, he's a communist based on his policies.
  360. 27:11that about it. And his idea is about government run grocery stores, right? Government run grocery
  361. 27:19stores. We're all government, government run grocery stores. That'll be terrible. But we
  362. 27:28cool with government run schools. We'll let that percolate in the Montgomery County School District
  363. 27:36with saying parents, okay, what you think? You send your children over here. This is what we will
  364. 27:41teach them and you can't opt out and we won't even give you notice of when we're
  365. 27:45gonna teach them this stuff and you'll see why in a few moments back to Justice
  366. 27:50Thomas's concurrence quote parents sued arguing that the boards knew no opt out
  367. 27:57policy violates their first amendment rights the court correctly holds that the
  368. 28:01policy contravenes parents free exercise right to direct the religious upbringing
  369. 28:06of their children so I want you to see what understand what's happening there
  370. 28:10Most parents send their children to school
  371. 28:13because they want them to learn reading, writing,
  372. 28:15their arithmetic.
  373. 28:16They don't want them indoctrinated
  374. 28:17against certain sexuality.
  375. 28:19When parents objected, the school said,
  376. 28:24no, no, we're not gonna let you opt out.
  377. 28:26Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
  378. 28:27we're not gonna let you opt out.
  379. 28:28And we'll do this whenever we choose to.
  380. 28:29You won't give me any notice.
  381. 28:32Well, in addressing this,
  382. 28:36Justice Thomas went on a little walk down memory lane
  383. 28:39to say, hey, you do realize that the whole idea
  384. 28:42of sex ed education.
  385. 28:44That wasn't anything that existed in schools until the 1970s.
  386. 28:49Do we realize that?
  387. 28:50There are things that we just accept as normalized
  388. 28:52that historically haven't been a part of what we've done.
  389. 28:55They said if general health communications
  390. 28:59about sexuality is a recent invention
  391. 29:01that has been utilized in schools,
  392. 29:04we certainly have no long history of gender studies
  393. 29:10being foisted upon elementary school children,
  394. 29:13pre-kindergarteners through fifth grade.
  395. 29:18Then he goes in for the boom.
  396. 29:21Justice Thomas on page four of his concurrence, quote,
  397. 29:23"'Instead of incorporating materials focused on health
  398. 29:26and reproduction, for example, the board chose the storybooks,
  399. 29:29listen to this, guys, the board chose the storybooks
  400. 29:33based on factors such as whether they reinforce
  401. 29:38or disrupted heteronormativity, cisnormativity,
  402. 29:43and power hierarchies that uphold the dominant culture.
  403. 29:48End quote.
  404. 29:50Time out.
  405. 29:50Flag on the plate.
  406. 29:52Did you know that's how the Montgomery County School Board
  407. 29:55decided which books that would include
  408. 29:56in this English language arts curriculum?
  409. 29:59Do you guys remember when I told you the quote
  410. 30:02from John Jay Dunphy and John Dewey and Harvard,
  411. 30:10Howard Pierce, Chester Pierce, I'm sorry,
  412. 30:12Howard Mann and others showing that this has been
  413. 30:14long plan and John Jay Duffy said, it doesn't matter what the subject is.
  414. 30:17It doesn't matter what age or what level of education, but what we must continue to
  415. 30:21assert is the agenda. Did you know that four and five year olds up to 10 and 11
  416. 30:28year olds were having English language, curriculum books chosen, specifically based
  417. 30:33on whether they quote, reinforce or disrupted hetero-normativity,
  418. 30:38cis-normativity and power hierarchies that uphold the dominant culture?
  419. 30:43Justice Thomas goes on, quote, the board further provided teachers with guidance about how to
  420. 30:52conduct LGBTQ plus inclusive instruction, which among other things suggested that teachers
  421. 31:00should disrupt their students either or thinking about sexuality and gender, end quote.
  422. 31:07Now, at the exact same time with Justice Thomas is explaining these facts.
  423. 31:13You have liars arguing, oh, just because information is presented doesn't mean the children are
  424. 31:18intended to believe it. Now take that back to what we talked about in the first segment.
  425. 31:25What did God say parents are supposed to do? Fathers and mothers were to do what?
  426. 31:30Rear children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, the discipline and instruction of
  427. 31:34the Lord. But you literally have the government in this instance of Montgomery County School Board
  428. 31:42saying, Nah, you parents want to do what the scripture says you should do with your children.
  429. 31:50We want to disrupt that and interrupt it.
  430. 31:58We rightly object to Zoramandani's presentation
  431. 32:02of government-run, government-owned grocery stores,
  432. 32:08but we don't have anywhere near the same scrutiny
  433. 32:11for government-run, government-owned education systems.
  434. 32:18Why such a discrepancy?
  435. 32:23Could it be that Zoramandani is being objected to today,
  436. 32:27but a time is in, there's a time in America's future,
  437. 32:30when the idea of government owned and government run grocery stores
  438. 32:34will get a collective shrug from the American society.
  439. 32:41My purpose in explaining this now is to highlight for us
  440. 32:47how much wickedness we have already embraced and normalized.
  441. 32:57Washington Watch with Tony Perkins.
  442. 32:59You look at three of the four justices there in Colorado
  443. 33:03that voted to remove him from the ballot.
  444. 33:05but they all came from Ivy League schools,
  445. 33:07schools that had been created as divinity schools.
  446. 33:10What a picture of the apostasy in America
  447. 33:14when it comes to the church.
  448. 33:15Stay informed with Tony Perkins
  449. 33:17and his guests on Washington Watch,

  463. 34:04A Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Commentaries
  464. 34:07are available at eFR.net.
  465. 34:10back to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
  466. 34:14Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner,
  467. 34:15Abraham Hamilton the third here.
  468. 34:17The number to call if you wanna join the program
  469. 34:19is 888-589-8840.
  470. 34:22That number again is 888-589-8840.
  471. 34:28Simply put, I'd like to have a conversation to you,
  472. 34:31with you, I'm sorry,
  473. 34:32concerning your reaction to the Supreme Court cases
  474. 34:35and what I'm driving towards with this.
  475. 34:38Similar to Scirmetti,
  476. 34:39Thanks, B to God, that we have a Supreme Court that ruled
  477. 34:4263 that the Montgomery County School Board
  478. 34:45does not have the lawful authority to intrude
  479. 34:48upon the parental province and indoctrinate.
  480. 34:52I'm gonna continue to say this, pre-Kinder Gartner's
  481. 34:54to fifth graders with LGBT propaganda, transgender insanity,
  482. 35:05you know, in the opinion, if you're watching the show,
  483. 35:07here's in the appendix for the opinion,
  484. 35:09they included some excerpts from the books.
  485. 35:13And again, these people are arguing,
  486. 35:14Yeah, just because the information is presented,
  487. 35:16it won't be believed by the children.
  488. 35:18When you have teachers presenting this stuff
  489. 35:20with the instruction that you need to disrupt the child's
  490. 35:25either or mentality concerning,
  491. 35:29guys, it's wicked.
  492. 35:32But here's what I want you to consider.
  493. 35:34What would happen if the decision was five to four
  494. 35:36in the other direction?
  495. 35:41Like our society, guys, is hanging on by the thread.
  496. 35:44If that type of insanity, first of all,
  497. 35:48someone would have the audacity to follow a lawsuit to say, yeah, I have the,
  498. 35:51I have the authority to refuse to allow you to opt your children out of this
  499. 35:58sexual confusion indoctrination and you can't do nothing about it.
  500. 36:04And to have the district court rule against the parents,
  501. 36:07the appellate court ruled against the parents. How long? How long?
  502. 36:21Remember prior to Roe versus Wade being passed,
  503. 36:27the abortion was not popular in America. The lie was passed as law.
  504. 36:3150 years.
  505. 36:36Now you have scores of younger generation of Americans, especially women who literally
  506. 36:40believe that there is a constitutional right to kill their own children.
  507. 36:52The same thing, prior to Obergefell being decided, 31 states amended their state constitutions,
  508. 36:58or passed legislation to recognize that marriage is exclusive union of a husband and a wife,
  509. 37:03a man and a woman.
  510. 37:05Following Obergefell, have you seen our country lately?
  511. 37:11You literally have in this instance the local government in Maryland and Montgomery County
  512. 37:16working against parents and families using the full apparatus of government and tax dollars
  513. 37:24to usurp and undermine with God commands of parents.
  514. 37:32What does that say about the state of our nation?
  515. 37:35When George Washington said that religion and morality are indispensable support to our
  516. 37:39constitutional Republican form of government, meaning it can't sustain, can't be sustained
  517. 37:44without it.
  518. 37:48of what's going on in our nation? What's going on in our churches? To us still to this day,
  519. 37:58the issue that provokes all manner of backlash, sexuality. You have another case and we're going
  520. 38:11to get to the phone lines. Number again, it's 888-589-8840. You had several cases with district courts
  521. 38:26It's attempting to basically usurp President Trump's authority.
  522. 38:31And Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote the majority opinion.
  523. 38:39And this will be funny if it wasn't serious.
  524. 38:45Another 6-3 decision and the ultimate conclusion from the case was district courts, you can't
  525. 38:51issue these nationwide injunctions consistently.
  526. 38:54You're upsetting the separation of powers that our Constitution affords.
  527. 38:58American people elected a president and they elected a president to do that to do the job
  528. 39:02that the Constitution outlines.
  529. 39:07Again Justice Barrett, Amy Coney Barrett wrote this majority opinion and she says this is
  530. 39:11from page 21 of the opinion.
  531. 39:13Quote, the principal dissent focuses on conventional legal terrain like the judiciary act of 1789.
  532. 39:19In our cases on equity, Justice Jackson however, chose a startling line of attack that is tethered
  533. 39:25neither to these sources nor frankly any doctrine whatsoever.
  534. 39:30Waving away, and this is what I want you to consider.
  535. 39:33Waving away attention to the limits on judicial power
  536. 39:38as a mind-numbingly technical query.
  537. 39:42She offers a vision, turn the page,
  538. 39:45she offers a vision of the judicial role
  539. 39:49that would make even the most ardent defender
  540. 39:52of judicial supremacy blush.
  541. 39:56What is Justice Barret saying?
  542. 39:59Justice Kataanjibra and Jackson doesn't have any discernible constitutional interpretive method.
  543. 40:05In her vision, the president and I supreme, the court is supreme.
  544. 40:12We've exchanged based on the founding articulation.
  545. 40:15We've exchanged a minorchial tyranny for an oligarchal tyranny for lawyers and black dresses.
  546. 40:24Back to the opinion, Justice Barrett is right.
  547. 40:26She said, quote, in her telling, Justice Jackson is telling, the fundamental role of courts
  548. 40:31is to order everyone.
  549. 40:34To order everyone.
  550. 40:37She literally, Justice Barrett said that Justice Jackson waved away attention, you know, to
  551. 40:44the limits on judicial power.
  552. 40:45I mean, the judiciary is limited fully on that.
  553. 40:48Who says the judiciary has limits?
  554. 40:50I remember reading this thing one time.
  555. 40:54The initial draft was finished in 1787.
  556. 40:57Oh yeah, it's called the Constitution.
  557. 41:01But the Justice Jackson has Justice Barrett is explaining it.
  558. 41:05She relegates the constitutional separation of powers to a quote, mind numbingly technical
  559. 41:11query.
  560. 41:12Let me translate that.
  561. 41:13Y'all know I translate legal ease.
  562. 41:15You know, just recently had the no Kings rally.
  563. 41:18We here America, we have no Kings.
  564. 41:22Justice Brown, Katajibra, Jackson was, yeah, we have no Kings.
  565. 41:24We have a judiciary.
  566. 41:30Justice Barrett went on and this you want to talk about a letter bomb.
  567. 41:38Mrs. Barrett says this and this really is the, the line from her opinion.
  568. 41:43Quote, we will not dwell on Justice Jackson's argument, which is at odds with more than
  569. 41:48two centuries worth of precedent, not to mention the Constitution itself.
  570. 41:53We observe only this.
  571. 41:55Justice Jackson decries imperial in zec, justice Jackson decries an imperial executive while
  572. 42:01embracing an imperial judiciary.
  573. 42:05End quote.
  574. 42:09Look, this woman's ruling says,
  575. 42:10this is Justice Barrett saying,
  576. 42:11this woman's rulings come out of the crackerjack box.
  577. 42:15She has no druthers, no pension, no affinity,
  578. 42:18no fidelity to the Constitution.
  579. 42:22She wants the Constitution to be,
  580. 42:23stop me from hearing this before, whatever she says it is.
  581. 42:28Now thankfully, again, in the 6-3 decision,
  582. 42:32the court concluded, Justice Jackson was wrong.
  583. 42:35But what does that say about the state of our union,
  584. 42:39the status of our nation?
  585. 42:41How long can we persist as a society in this direction?
  586. 42:47These are questions we have to answer.
  587. 42:49These are questions we have to consider.
  588. 42:50These are questions we have to answer.
  589. 42:52I have so much more to say, but as promised,
  590. 42:54let's go to the phone lines.
  591. 42:55We'll start in Indiana where Larry is on the line.
  592. 42:59Larry, thank you for calling the Hamilton Corner.
  593. 43:01Welcome to the program.
  594. 43:03Hello Abraham, thank you very much for your program.
  595. 43:06I really appreciate it.
  596. 43:07Few things, one, and it really has to do with we the people.
  597. 43:12I don't know how long we should just continue to be passively on the sidelines.
  598. 43:24Even Jesus got rude with the money changers.
  599. 43:29And if we can't be rude and impolite to people who are purposely, directly, consciously hurting
  600. 43:37our children, I don't understand how long we can do that.
  601. 43:40The other, the Supreme Court, they've ruled President Trump.
  602. 43:47He said what he thinks.
  603. 43:49We know what we, the people think.
  604. 43:50I don't understand how it's not illegal, being prosecuted for any, whether it's in a hospital
  605. 43:57or a school or a church or anywhere else.
  606. 44:00Well, I'm not sure what you're saying, how you don't know how I, it's illegal, but let
  607. 44:07me start with the first things first.
  608. 44:10I don't think rootness is necessary in order to expose the darkness, but I do think resoluteness
  609. 44:19is necessary.
  610. 44:21One of the major problems, and this is a part of the strata, some of you heard right before
  611. 44:27we came on how technology, chat, TPT, large language, learning models and things of that
  612. 44:32nature are really dumbing down society.
  613. 44:36This is one of the things you have the combination of our society being dumbed down in our capacities
  614. 44:43while simultaneously being distracted with constant, unending entertainment, right?
  615. 44:51To get us diverted in our thought processes to where we don't spend much time and effort
  616. 44:56considering weighty, substantive matters.
  617. 44:59And so when it comes down, we have people who have time for everything under the sun,
  618. 45:03but we don't have time for substantive things.
  619. 45:06In fact, if we're honest, too many out,
  620. 45:08because I don't want to be accusatory,
  621. 45:10but this is just a fact.
  622. 45:11Too many parents is so busy with life
  623. 45:13and many instances trying to earn an income,
  624. 45:15so busy with life we don't even have time
  625. 45:17to check without children even reading.
  626. 45:22We don't know what they're reading.
  627. 45:23We don't know what they're learning.
  628. 45:25So many parents were shocked to find out,
  629. 45:28oh, this is what they're teaching my children
  630. 45:29in these schools during the COVID time period.
  631. 45:32Now I want to add this question then.
  632. 45:34The Supreme Court has ruled and said
  633. 45:35the Montgomery County School Board
  634. 45:37was wrong with what they did, right?
  635. 45:40Do you think that's gonna automatically result
  636. 45:42in all of those schools within Montgomery County, Maryland,
  637. 45:45to all of a sudden no longer be interested
  638. 45:47in interrupting their children, the students, either,
  639. 45:50or understanding of gender?
  640. 45:51Do you think it's gonna automatically have the same school
  641. 45:54board that decided we don't want parents to be able
  642. 45:57to opt their children out?
  643. 45:58We won't even give the parents notice
  644. 45:59what we'll teach their kindergartners,
  645. 46:01pre-kendegartners of fifth graders,
  646. 46:03this thing that they're objecting to,
  647. 46:04that we know they're objecting to.
  648. 46:06We won't even notify them when we're teaching it.
  649. 46:08Do you think those people all of a sudden
  650. 46:09are gonna be like,
  651. 46:10ah, you know what?
  652. 46:12We're gonna let the parents be the parents.
  653. 46:14We're gonna, do you think that's gonna happen?
  654. 46:18Or do you think some of these people
  655. 46:21will try to find another way
  656. 46:24to get the same thing accomplished?
  657. 46:28What do you think?
  658. 46:29What do you think?
  659. 46:32Ponder that while I invite Jerry from Texas to join us.
  660. 46:35Jerry, thank you for calling to Hamilton Corner.
  661. 46:37Welcome to the program.
  662. 46:39and thank you brother.
  663. 46:40I appreciate it.
  664. 46:41Always love listening to your commentary
  665. 46:42and your insights and thoughts.
  666. 46:44Real quick to answer your last question that you pondered.
  667. 46:48No, they're not gonna change
  668. 46:49because one now colleges are changing DEI
  669. 46:51to new definitions.
  670. 46:52The Democrats already changed the definition of vaccine.
  671. 46:55They changed the definition of baby murder.
  672. 46:57They changed the definition of marriage.
  673. 46:59They didn't have definition change.
  674. 47:01They wouldn't have terms.
  675. 47:02So that's the answer to that one.
  676. 47:04Second one is is that the Constitution,
  677. 47:07I have taken classes and have my kids read
  678. 47:09I read it every 4th of July to them.
  679. 47:11And even my 11-year-olds can understand that the Congress has the power to unseat a Supreme
  680. 47:17Court justice on the terms of bad behavior.
  681. 47:20And there's no definition of that.
  682. 47:21The Congress, if they had any backbone, could take two or three of these justices and say,
  683. 47:26look, bad behavior is not following the Constitution.
  684. 47:30My 11-year-old, my 14-year-old, my 15-year-old, myself, just a lay person reading the document,
  685. 47:36the way it was written can interpret it and understand it.
  686. 47:39I tell you what, brother, the thing I have found more and more times with our corrupt education
  687. 47:44system is that when I talk to people, they're not even taught it.
  688. 47:48As our founding father said, if you're not taught your rights, it's easier to take them
  689. 47:52from you.
  690. 47:53I'll discuss with people and they think we're a democracy because all they hear is politicians
  691. 47:57saying it's detrimental to our democracy.
  692. 48:00They think that everything should be given.
  693. 48:01They don't read the documents.
  694. 48:03I get frustrated when I try to give these people the terms and the definitions of what
  695. 48:07it is and they refused to hear.
  696. 48:10Thank you so much for your calling your comments.
  697. 48:12You're absolutely right.
  698. 48:13And thank you for taking the time to read it yourself
  699. 48:15and to teach it to your children.
  700. 48:16But this is literally what's happening.
  701. 48:18And we have evidence of this.
  702. 48:20The historical understanding of good behavior
  703. 48:23included constitutional fidelity.
  704. 48:24The earliest one of the earliest impeachers we have
  705. 48:26is because a judge tried to render a ruling
  706. 48:29that violated the US Constitution.
  707. 48:32So it is exactly what you said.
  708. 48:34We'll try to get one more calling,
  709. 48:36oh man, the music is disrespectful.
  710. 48:38Tyrone, I'm gonna try to get you in from Oklahoma.
  711. 48:39You got 15 seconds, go.
  712. 48:42All right, when they took the 10th commemorates
  713. 48:46out of the schools, they'd say because people might be
  714. 48:49of followed and influenced by it.
  715. 48:51There would be the contraquentions of,
  716. 48:54after children decide not to kill, not to steal,
  717. 48:56not to destroy.
  718. 48:58Then they put the other deals in the concert
  719. 49:01was to follow and the Delft's couldn't even stand to hear it.
  720. 49:04Why don't the people who defend this stretch,
  721. 49:07Why what we should so you can opt out well said well said and the thing is that you often
  722. 49:15have lies that have been perpetuated and giving the given the appearance as if they're law.
  723. 49:22What I'm driving at folks is that we have to respond locally right where we live.
  724. 49:27God bless you all.
