  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. 0:15Delivering 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, everyone.
  12. 0:35Welcome to the Hamilton Corner.
  13. 0:36My name is Abraham Hamilton, the third.
  14. 0:38I'm the host of this program.
  15. 0:41Grateful that you have made the decision to tune in and looking forward to having a wonderful
  16. 0:46time with you.
  17. 0:47I understand with all of the information that is available, it seems like now that everybody,
  18. 0:53the mama, the uncles and the chipmunk has a podcast.
  19. 0:56So you making the decision to hang out with us here on this program, the Hamilton corner,
  20. 1:03we are grateful that you have made that decision.
  21. 1:05I'm joined by the corner contingent right across from me is our friendly neighborhood,
  22. 1:09Willaholic.
  23. 1:10He's in studio this time.
  24. 1:12Ladies and gentlemen, man in the controls, Mr. Rosa had a slight issue where he had to
  25. 1:19depart a little sooner than usual, but never fear Marty Sparks is here, lighten up the
  26. 1:23the doc from inside the studio, helping us with controls for the program and in the screening
  27. 1:28room. We have produced extraordinaire often imitated, never duplicated the real Jay Mac is their
  28. 1:36ladies and gentlemen helping us to deliver the program video to you and to my right. We
  29. 1:42have just a few more weeks, y'all. His internship will conclude later this summer. We will be
  30. 1:48very saddened by that, but also happy that he's continuing his university
  31. 1:54matriculation as he's refining his gifts, talents, and abilities.
  32. 1:59Double R is in Studio Read, Ritter, and we are ready to rock and roll with today's
  33. 2:04edition of the program. At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you, are making
  34. 2:08your transition from your part-time jobs where you generate an income to your
  35. 2:12full-time jobs where you cultivate an outcome. And as you do so, I want to remind
  36. 2:16you to do it with intentionality. You look at the things that are swirling around us, and I really am going to point our attention to scripture here in a moment.
  37. 2:26It is evident to those who have Bibles and use them, notice that was a and have Bibles and use them, that what we're facing currently in our nation and frankly around the world is evidence, frankly, of spiritual warfare.
  38. 2:43it's no doubt about it.
  39. 2:45And I don't mean that as a dismissive throw away,
  40. 2:48kind of a catch all excuse for everything.
  41. 2:50You are literally watching the Bible play out before you.
  42. 2:54We were talking about several Supreme Court cases
  43. 2:57that I'm still gobsmacked at the notion
  44. 3:00that these issues made it all the way to the US Supreme Court,
  45. 3:03that you would have people that would fight
  46. 3:05so contentiously, so passionately, so zealously
  47. 3:09for really nonsensical positions.
  48. 3:12we talked about the Scrimedy case.
  49. 3:15Like how could it be objectionable to say,
  50. 3:17you know what?
  51. 3:18You probably shouldn't permanently
  52. 3:19castrate a child or surgically mutilate their bodies
  53. 3:23while they're minors.
  54. 3:25Doesn't seem like an extreme position.
  55. 3:27Doesn't seem like that.
  56. 3:28Doesn't seem like the idea that a public school system
  57. 3:33and a public school board shouldn't be trying
  58. 3:36to teach theology to children.
  59. 3:39Hey, what are you talking about?
  60. 3:41Yeah, when you're teaching sexual deviancy,
  61. 3:44you're teaching transgender insanity.
  62. 3:47Guys, those have theological roots.
  63. 3:49Why am I saying that?
  64. 3:50Because in the beginning, he made them male and female.
  65. 3:54And for this cause, shall a man leave his father
  66. 3:56and his mother and be joined to his wife
  67. 3:59and the two shall become one flesh.
  68. 4:01That's in the scripture.
  69. 4:03But yeah, they talk about all kinds of things at school.
  70. 4:05So just because a school discusses God's business,
  71. 4:11it doesn't reclassify God's business.
  72. 4:16But you have a school and say, you know, we don't care what the parents think.
  73. 4:19We used to let you opt out.
  74. 4:20We're not letting you opt out anymore.
  75. 4:23We're going to teach your children whatever we want to teach them.
  76. 4:25And in fact, and we won't even give you notice that we're going to do it when we're going
  77. 4:29to do it.
  78. 4:30When I say children, I'm going to remind you, I'm talking about pre-kindergarteners up to
  79. 4:34fifth graders and remind you that not only did the school system do that when the parents
  80. 4:42sued, they lost at the federal district court and the appellate court.
  81. 4:48So not only did the school make that move, you had the legal system at the two previous
  82. 4:52points affirm the school's decision.
  83. 5:00Guys, this is, we're not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy.
  84. 5:03You better put total inside because the storms are brewing.
  85. 5:07To the word of God, we go Romans chapter one.
  86. 5:10Romans chapter one, unsurprising, it's in the scripto.
  87. 5:14The Lord has already told us what was to come, but too many of us are willfully ignorant.
  88. 5:22And I don't mean ignorance as a pejorative.
  89. 5:24I mean it as a description of a state of not knowing,
  90. 5:30not recognizing.
  91. 5:31When we allow ourselves to be reduced,
  92. 5:34I would say it that way,
  93. 5:35reduced into mere political rhetoric,
  94. 5:39the political gang banging,
  95. 5:40bloods and crips, reds and blues.
  96. 5:44And we conveniently become ignorant,
  97. 5:45but what does the word of God say?
  98. 5:49What does the word of God say?
  99. 5:52Look at what the text says,
  100. 5:53Romans chapter one verses 18 through 21, I'm gonna read,
  101. 5:57then actually I'm gonna go to,
  102. 6:01yeah, I'll stop maybe about 21.
  103. 6:04I'll mention some other portions of it.
  104. 6:06But this is what the word of God says.
  105. 6:12For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all
  106. 6:15ungodliness and unrighteousness of men
  107. 6:20who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.
  108. 6:24Because that which is known about God
  109. 6:26evident within them, for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world
  110. 6:33his invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, being
  111. 6:39understood through. Notice that through what has been made so that they are without excuse.
  112. 6:47For even though they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks, but they became
  113. 6:54in futile in their speculations and their foolish heart was darkened.
  114. 7:00The scripture is so rich and it gives us keen insight.
  115. 7:07Verse 18 says it plainly, it's not that mankind is enduringly,
  116. 7:11comprehensively and thoroughly ignorant of what is true.
  117. 7:16It is that mankind suppresses the truth in unrighteousness
  118. 7:22to say it in a simple modern way.
  119. 7:27The man sends in an effort to blunt the conviction of God concerning the sin.
  120. 7:36The repetition of conduct suppresses the truth.
  121. 7:40Have you seen an analogy before, having interviewed murderers numerous times, all the ones that
  122. 7:44I have interviewed and I've studied others that would say that the hardest murder they ever
  123. 7:47committed was the first one.
  124. 7:49The more they did it, the easier it became because there's a suppressing of the conscience.
  125. 7:55is a suppressing of truth.
  126. 7:58Verse 19 tells us why the suppression is necessary.
  127. 8:01There's no way you can continue
  128. 8:04at the same level of conviction
  129. 8:06in the sin-suppressing conduct bent,
  130. 8:12because verse 19 says that which is known about God
  131. 8:16is evident internally.
  132. 8:18There's an intrinsic capacity
  133. 8:20that God is hardwired within mankind.
  134. 8:24That's why we describe like serial killers
  135. 8:30others as sociopaths. They ignore that thing that's on the inside. Verse 24,
  136. 8:41since the creation of the world, God's invisible attributes, His eternal power and
  137. 8:47divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been
  138. 8:53made, being understood through what has been made so they are without excuse.
  139. 9:00You've ever wondered why there is such a concerted effort to twist basic foundational common understanding
  140. 9:07about fundamental notions of existing being creation biology.
  141. 9:13This is why.
  142. 9:15This is why the invisible attributes of God, His eternal power and divine nature are made
  143. 9:22demonstrably evident.
  144. 9:24Theologians call this general revelation.
  145. 9:26It's demonstrably evident in what God has made.
  146. 9:31Sociophilosophers, political theorists describe this often as natural law.
  147. 9:38There are things, even if you have not read Genesis Revelation, there are things that you
  148. 9:43know that are true and that are true about God as a result of peering into his general
  149. 9:49revelation.
  150. 9:53Since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes, his eternal power, his divine nature,
  151. 9:59been clearly seen, being understood, being comprehended through what has been made, so that
  152. 10:07they are without excuse.
  153. 10:09This is why there's such vehement attacks going all the way to the beginning to try to even
  154. 10:13nullify creation and continuing on.
  155. 10:20For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks, but became futile
  156. 10:26in their reasoning, futile in their speculation and their fullest hearts became darkened.
  157. 10:30This is the inevitable consequence.
  158. 10:33This is the inevitable consequence of a people of a society that sets itself against God and
  159. 10:45to remove him.
  160. 10:46You know, kind of like people want to remove statues, you know, want to serve pro society.
  161. 10:52People want to remove God.
  162. 10:53And this is not a new thing.
  163. 10:55You got Frederick Nietzsche, you know, for God is dead and we smell his rotten corpse.
  164. 11:00The reason why all of these efforts are employed guys, because there is an effort to try to
  165. 11:04peer away of that gnawing conviction on the inside.
  166. 11:09The inevitable consequences of that is that mankind becomes futile in their reasonings.
  167. 11:16Futile.
  168. 11:18The incapacity to understand basic things.
  169. 11:27If you ever wondered how we get to the place where people say, math, math is racist.
  170. 11:31This is how.
  171. 11:33is math is racist. Do we even need to go into any history on the origins of algebra and all
  172. 11:40this kind of stuff? We won't even get into all of that. But math, racist, punctuality,
  173. 11:47racist, grammatical accuracy, racist. You almost at the point where it was not racist.
  174. 11:57How long will it be before we say breathing?
  175. 11:59How do you get there?
  176. 12:02How do you get there when you have a man?
  177. 12:05No, a woman who has earned a law degree,
  178. 12:11but would get on national television
  179. 12:13and say a two year old, no, whether or not they're born in the wrong body.
  180. 12:17I mean, it's sad, but it's also startling when you see
  181. 12:29how popular these ideas have become.
  182. 12:33When you have for the longest time and society just collectively shrugs and winks
  183. 12:40for the longest time, the people that would advocate for the premeditated
  184. 12:43the pre meditated slaughter of children in the womb, they would say, oh, it's not a baby.
  185. 12:47It's not a baby. That's not a baby in there. And then, yeah, it's a baby. We don't care. We want to kill it anyway.
  186. 12:53We kill a baby anyway. Oh, and this comes from the people, but we're compassionate. How? How?
  187. 13:04Guys, this is insane. The very same society that'll say,
  188. 13:08they didn't have power dynamics. You don't need to have the will also rebuke Mike Pence for refusing to be
  189. 13:15alone with a woman in an elevator and a hotel room anything like that.
  190. 13:19Like how could you be able to the same society that will say, you know, we need, we need,
  191. 13:24you know, you, you fill in the blanks, but then you'll have the New York Times produce
  192. 13:30a smear piece on transportation secretary Duffy for one reason only.
  193. 13:34That he's married to the mother of his children and they're very happy.
  194. 13:40I can't believe that they want to act as if how could they be happy.
  195. 13:45We have nine children, not gonna be happy.
  196. 13:48Guys, these things are not,
  197. 13:50these are not the features solely of modernity
  198. 13:55and political discourse.
  199. 13:57No, guys, this is evidence of mankind
  200. 14:00becoming futile and reasoning.
  201. 14:05The scripture goes on to say,
  202. 14:06for mankind exchanged the truth of God for a lie
  203. 14:10and worshiped and served the creature
  204. 14:12rather than the creator.
  205. 14:15Yeah, that's another one.
  206. 14:17can't put the Tenk of Manmets in schools,
  207. 14:19but you can put everything else?
  208. 14:21Oh yeah, by the way, the same schools
  209. 14:23that will tell you, we're gonna teach your children,
  210. 14:25no matter what you think about it.
  211. 14:27Guys, all of this is evidence of a spiritual reality.
  212. 14:30I'm presenting it to you in this fashion,
  213. 14:32because if we think the only thing that needs to be done
  214. 14:35is past the big, beautiful building.
  215. 14:37We just gotta get this political party elected,
  216. 14:39and we just gotta have this financial policy implemented.
  217. 14:41If you do all of those things,
  218. 14:43but you don't address the spiritual rot that's at its core,
  219. 14:47you're not addressing the root of the problem.
  220. 14:51I say we need to address the root of the problem.
  221. 15:01A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
  222. 15:04The word of God is the sword of the Spirit
  223. 15:06according to Ephesians 617.
  224. 15:08Every disciple of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
  225. 15:10needs to be a diligent student of the word of God.
  226. 15:14We would be wise to continually learn more
  227. 15:16about the spiritual weapons found in the word of God.
  228. 15:18We must continually learn more about how to do battle
  229. 15:21with every spiritual weapon.
  230. 15:22because spiritual conflict is not something we deal with from only time to time.
  231. 15:26We encounter spiritual warfare every day and everywhere we go.
  232. 15:30When we put these spiritual weapons to work, we're building up the kingdom of God.
  233. 15:36Also, as we use these weapons, we're doing battle against the kingdom of darkness.
  234. 15:42Some people may think, I don't like the idea of having to deal with spiritual warfare.
  235. 15:46Well, like it or not, we face it every day of our lives.
  236. 15:49Let's be faithful to be kingdom warriors who know how to take some of the weapons we have in the word of God and use them to walk in
  237. 15:56victory daily
  238. 16:05Shining lightning to the darkness. This is the Hamilton Corner an American family radio
  239. 16:11Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner Abraham Hamilton the third here many of you probably are aware
  240. 16:16but uh
  241. 16:18The one big beautiful bill passed in the Senate. It was amended from the house version the Senate has amended it
  242. 16:25So it has to go back to the house now to see whether or not they will concur with the sentence amendments
  243. 16:33We're gonna get to that in a little bit
  244. 16:34But I want to continue on along the lines of what I was explaining before because I believe the you know the legislation
  245. 16:40I believe it's important
  246. 16:43But it's not more important than this man. It's not more important than this, you know the scripture bears it out plainly
  247. 16:49that God has revealed Himself to us via general revelation and a special revelation in His holy word.
  248. 16:56And you often have the conversations, I've often had the conversations when you consider the articulation from the
  249. 17:06Declaration of Independence that we have the right to pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
  250. 17:12The inclusion of life before liberty and the pursuit of happiness is instructive because what good is
  251. 17:20is liberty or the potential to pursue happiness if we don't have life. If you're dead, you ain't
  252. 17:28really wearing too much about liberty, you know? And when you have like the preamble to our constitution
  253. 17:35that says that it was created by our founders expressly to preserve the blessings of liberty
  254. 17:41to ourselves and to our posterity. Translation of posterity, cheering, children, offspring,
  255. 17:51future generations, yet we become so
  256. 17:54erudite in our modern dispositions
  257. 17:57what we think killing children is
  258. 17:59pinnacle expression of liberty. And
  259. 18:02I'm saying all of this man because I
  260. 18:05don't want us to miss the forest for
  261. 18:09the trees. God has granted our nation a
  262. 18:13reprieve. I mean, do I need to even walk
  263. 18:17us down the thought exercise? Can you
  264. 18:19imagine if she who shall never be
  265. 18:22the remixed was the one making decision.
  266. 18:25Let's just say, for example, concerning what just happened
  267. 18:28in Iran.
  268. 18:29Do you even want to consider?
  269. 18:33What's your, oh, baby, we have been unburdened from what has been.
  270. 18:46I mean, do we have to go the word salads, the vacuousness?
  271. 18:51I mean, I'm making myself, I'm shaking myself, the shakes thinking about it.
  272. 18:58That means that the untold damage that was done to our country through the, you know,
  273. 19:04Obiden regime, you know, the Obiden regime.
  274. 19:12God has granted our nation a reprieve, but we must not misconstrue or reprieve with the idea
  275. 19:22that we're walking in the abundant overflow of God's blessing.
  276. 19:27Do we realize what a reprieve is?
  277. 19:28A reprieve is you are on the brink about to go over the cliff to careen over the cliff.
  278. 19:38But divine providence grabbed you by the back of the shirt.
  279. 19:40Say not yet, but I'm concerned that too many of us are treating the reprieve as if.
  280. 19:52Oh, wonderful.
  281. 19:54Know my friends.
  282. 19:55No, everything is not wonderful.
  283. 19:59There's no need to be fearful and petulant and intimidated and all it.
  284. 20:05No, not in the least bit, but we do need to be sober minded.
  285. 20:09We need to be sober minded as to where we are.
  286. 20:17where we are. I mean, I said last week, was it Monday? Well, these days start to run together.
  287. 20:25Let's stop and think for a second time out. We go from ground 0, 911 to New York Democrats
  288. 20:32electing Zoron Momdani. That's where we are. How do we get there? And I made the point
  289. 20:45that many people are saying, whoa, this guy is for government grocery stores.
  290. 20:50We got government schools, not too many people have a problem with that.
  291. 20:57And I'm not trying to be unnecessarily provocative, but Zoramam Dani might even make it a campaign
  292. 21:03strategy to say, yeah, you know, in America's history, government schools used to be a wild
  293. 21:09idea.
  294. 21:10But then we did it, and most New Yorkers, many of you really love your government schools,
  295. 21:14don't you?
  296. 21:16And what do you think they'll say?
  297. 21:17Well, why don't you give the idea of the government grocery store's idea?
  298. 21:20You got me giving the government grocery store a chance.
  299. 21:23you end up liking that too?
  300. 21:25And I'm saying, hold it now.
  301. 21:28So are we as a society more astute to recognize
  302. 21:32the threat posed to our society by government,
  303. 21:35grocery stores than we are,
  304. 21:38the threat posed to our society by government schooling?
  305. 21:43What kind of cognitive dissonance is that
  306. 21:46if that is in fact the case?
  307. 21:52And the sad part, and I always use analogy
  308. 21:57before the nose blind,
  309. 21:58kind of from the Febreze commercial.
  310. 22:00We become so nose blind,
  311. 22:01well, we don't even recognize many instances
  312. 22:04just how damaging it has been.
  313. 22:16What we're facing guys is Romans one
  314. 22:18unfolding right before our very eyes,
  315. 22:20right before our very eyes.
  316. 22:24And it is increasing,
  317. 22:27the manifestation is futility and reasoning.
  318. 22:34We're in the era firmly,
  319. 22:35we're a lot to people complain about,
  320. 22:36you know, kind of a snowflake generation.
  321. 22:41How do we get here?
  322. 22:42It wasn't overnight.
  323. 22:44It wasn't overnight.
  324. 22:46Why do we have a loss of personal rigor?
  325. 22:49You know, just fold.
  326. 22:53The slightest wind blow.
  327. 22:55Oh, no, this is hard work.
  328. 23:00It used to be a common understanding.
  329. 23:02America, I mean, hard work is almost synonymous
  330. 23:04with being an American.
  331. 23:05No matter what discipline we were in,
  332. 23:07everybody was expecting to work hard.
  333. 23:13I'm saying, man, it's like the proverbial frog
  334. 23:15in the pond.
  335. 23:19Largely speaking, we become accustomed to this temperature.
  336. 23:24We don't realize it.
  337. 23:25It's increasing ever so slightly, ever so slightly.
  338. 23:30You know, how did we get to the place
  339. 23:31when climate alarmists have such a sway in our society?
  340. 23:36When, truthfully speaking,
  341. 23:38the climate has changed in our world for a long time.
  342. 23:43The issue, however, is that the change
  343. 23:46has been very, very, very modest.
  344. 23:51So what's really going on?
  345. 23:52and just become another front for the advancement of Marxist ideation,
  346. 23:57but with the same objective of Marxist ideation.
  347. 24:00How do we get to the place with our access to history and our own nation's history?
  348. 24:10And if you contemporary events all around the world,
  349. 24:13when we have such a ravenous, passionate society concerning gun control,
  350. 24:18how do we get that? How do we get there?
  351. 24:22We can witness what's happening in Venezuela and yet have Americans say,
  352. 24:26Oh, we, yeah, here's idea, gun control.
  353. 24:32It's honestly, it's foolish.
  354. 24:38You know, we had a caller yesterday talking about the frustration of having conversations
  355. 24:42with fellow citizens when they don't even know that impeachment and removal from the federal
  356. 24:48bench is a remedy that Congress has access to.
  357. 24:57How do we have a society where we have a large swath of our population who doesn't know that,
  358. 25:05alone would include that in our efforts to hold our elected officials accountable.
  359. 25:10What I'm saying, man, is that this is not merely political rhetoric, man.
  360. 25:17It's not when you had the passage of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913.
  361. 25:22People could think about it.
  362. 25:23This is just a banking mechanism.
  363. 25:25This is just not realizing it was a mechanism for slavery.
  364. 25:29The prior to the Federal Reserve Act, over 90% of the American population was completely
  365. 25:33debt free.
  366. 25:35When I say that, I know some people like, what?
  367. 25:38Can't even fathom.
  368. 25:39Wait, wait, nine, yes, nine over 90%
  369. 25:43of the American population prior to the Federal Reserve
  370. 25:47Act's passage were 100% completely debt-free.
  371. 25:52Because we used to understand things,
  372. 25:54like what the scripture teaches about the borrower
  373. 25:56and the lender, we used to understand these things.
  374. 26:00Yeah, it may be harder to get what we need to get.
  375. 26:02It may take a little longer.
  376. 26:04It may, that, that, that, that, that, that,
  377. 26:05a little harder, but hey, this is what we do. Now upwards of 90% of the American population
  378. 26:12is laden with debt. Combine that with the deleterious impact of inflation, rampant, continuous.
  379. 26:24We're our society and I'm not trying to accuse anybody of anything or insult anybody,
  380. 26:30but we become so accustomed to inflation. We think, oh, every cost of living increases are just
  381. 26:34regular. We have so many aspects in it and we can talk about Marxism but not as many people
  382. 26:46talk about the thrust of Marxism. Literally, and I did a show show on carmarks for this
  383. 26:51reason that Marx was a Satanist. Marx was a Satanist. He would write poems about how he
  384. 27:00knew that his mind would be fumes, his mind would be filled with the fumes of hell. He
  385. 27:05would write these things. That's why right now at highgate cemetery in England Satanists
  386. 27:12gather around his grave because we've been doled.
  387. 27:25We've been doled.
  388. 27:26I'll give you another example of it.
  389. 27:28And this is one, this is just a story that came up, but because people in the tension,
  390. 27:35if you don't connect the dots, it becomes a non-story.
  391. 27:39I mentioned the Ten Commandments earlier.
  392. 27:41Remember Judge Roy Moore from Alabama, who ultimately ran for the US Senate in Alabama?
  393. 27:46One of the things he sought to fight for was the public display of the Ten Commandments?
  394. 27:53entire weight of regressive society descended upon him
  395. 27:56culminating in a full on smear by major publications. Right.
  396. 28:05Well, I want you to listen to this and just stay tuned because
  397. 28:07I'm gonna fill in some blanks for you after this. There was a
  398. 28:13an arrest made by the Department of Justice on Friday by a reporter
  399. 28:19at the Washington Post named Thomas LeGrow. Listen to and
  400. 28:22watch this clip. Clip to clip to go post journal is his facing
  401. 28:28some serious charges tonight. 48 year old Thomas LeGrow was
  402. 28:31arrested at his DC home Thursday. He's accused of possessing
  403. 28:35child pornography. FBI agents say they found explicit videos on
  404. 28:39his laptop and what looked like a broken hard drive in his
  405. 28:42basement. LeGrow's name also came up in an investigation
  406. 28:46involving online payments for illegal content. He is now on
  407. 28:50leave from the post where he oversaw video content. His detention hearing is set for Monday.
  408. 28:56Now, tell me everything. Well, was it? Yeah. Okay. I see that was the significance of that.
  409. 29:04Old Thomas LeGrow was a reporter who won the Pulitzer Prize specifically for his reporting on Judge
  410. 29:10Roy Moore. Mm hmm. See, it's amazing how these news reports, they'll just throw that out there.
  411. 29:18Thomas LeGrow, watching the post reporter, arrested on child pornography charges.
  412. 29:23You know what they leave out? He won the Pulitzer Prize. The pull, he won the Pulitzer Prize
  413. 29:32for his reporting on Judge Roy Moore. And now he's being arrested for child pornography. Can't make
  414. 29:39this stuff up. Can't make this stuff up. Also, many people not even aware of,
  415. 29:43Judge Roy Moore ended up following a defamation lawsuit for some of these stuff.
  416. 29:47One, an $8.2 million judgment in trial. There was a Democratic political action committee
  417. 29:53that would run these ads about Judge Roy Moore. He sues them and wins $8.2 million.
  418. 29:57but people don't talk about that.
  419. 29:59And now one of these guys who were engaged and attempting to
  420. 30:07keep Judge Moore away from the US Senate,
  421. 30:12now he's just being arrested for child pornography.
  422. 30:18Isn't that interesting?
  423. 30:21Guys, there are people who are literally agents of Satan, frankly.
  424. 30:27I'll tell you that. Some knowingly, many of them unknowingly.
  425. 30:31He probably thought, yeah, yeah, we're going to use our media capacity,
  426. 30:34the power of this newspaper to make sure this guy stays away from Capitol Hill.
  427. 30:42And then look what he's doing behind the scenes.
  428. 30:48And it's amazing that you have all this, you know, you have that report that is issued,
  429. 30:53oh yeah, he's arrested.
  430. 30:54They don't add, they didn't tell you, oh yeah, this guy was, this guy won a Pulitzer for smearing
  431. 31:01or more.
  432. 31:05Because guys, there are things that political disagreement is fine.
  433. 31:09But there's also agitation for evil.
  434. 31:15People try to ignore that when Saul Alinsky wrote his book,
  435. 31:18Rules for Radicals, a pragmatic,
  436. 31:20prima-for-realistic radicals.
  437. 31:22He dedicated the book to Lucifer.
  438. 31:26Look it up.
  439. 31:28I know in later editions, they try to eliminate that dedication.
  440. 31:31The original versions of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals
  441. 31:34includes the dedication to Lucifer.
  442. 31:38He called Lucifer the original radical.
  443. 31:41That's what Allinsky did.
  444. 31:43This is the same Saul Allinsky that was she who should never be president's mentor at Wellesley College, which he was at Wellesley College.
  445. 31:49The same Saul Allinsky who Barack Hussein Obama taught his principles at Chicago University.
  446. 31:55The same Saul Allinsky that gave us the notion of a community organizer.
  447. 32:00It came from Allinsky's writings.
  448. 32:02In all of Allinsky's work and writings have been injected into the mainstream of American society,
  449. 32:09society, but people ignore the fact that his injection flows from his dedication to Lucifer.
  450. 32:15Y'all can think I'm playing if you want.
  451. 32:18But the Lord told us that we're not wrestling merely against flesh and blood.
  452. 32:24The spiritual wickedness of foot.
  453. 32:30And my concern is that too many people have been desensitized away from what is really happening.
  454. 32:40My encouragement is for us to recognize that God has given us a reprieve not merely to
  455. 32:46politically gangbang, but that we can recognize the times that we're in and we can move toward
  456. 32:52repentance and advocate for repentance.
  457. 33:00Some would say truth is relative and to the world, that's right.
  458. 33:04What the world considers to be truth fluctuates depending on the narrative they're trying
  459. 33:08to promote.
  460. 33:09Of course, we know truth is found in scripture and it never changes.
  461. 33:13The documentary, The God Who Speaks, proves the Bible's reliability as the source of
  462. 33:18of real truth and reinforces our belief in it
  463. 33:21as our firm foundation.

  466. 33:30The term providence means God's super intending care

  469. 33:38God has it worked performing his will in history.
  470. 33:43And so through this podcast,
  471. 33:45We're going to be taking a look at the Providence of God
  472. 33:49and the history and in particular
  473. 33:50in the history of America.

  477. 34:07are available at aFR.net.
  478. 34:10Back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
  479. 34:14Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham, Hamilton
  480. 34:16III.
  481. 34:17We're already in the last segment, what is time it's flying by?
  482. 34:21Well I mentioned earlier that the Big Beautiful Bill Act passed, and the guys I'm not kidding,
  483. 34:26every time I say that I left, that's the official name of the bill.
  484. 34:30The Big Beautiful Bill Act passed the United States Senate today.
  485. 34:35Three Republican senators voted against the bill, joining the Democrat caucus.
  486. 34:41I say the Democrat caucus because the independents in the US Senate caucus with the Democrats.
  487. 34:46I see a Bernie Sanders who's independent.
  488. 34:50Bernie is a self-described socialist.
  489. 34:54So I wonder who he would caucus with.
  490. 34:56Yeah, anyway, those senators are Senator Tom Tillis
  491. 34:59of North Carolina, Senator Susan Collins of Maine,
  492. 35:03and Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky,
  493. 35:06bringing the Senate count to a tie 50 to 50
  494. 35:10because Republicans have a three vote majority in the House.
  495. 35:14I'm sorry, in the US Senate.
  496. 35:16But with those three senators voting against the bill,
  497. 35:21it required Vice President JD Vance
  498. 35:23to participate in the vote.
  499. 35:25And so he was the tie-breaking vote
  500. 35:27to where the bill passed out of the Senate today, 51 to 50.
  501. 35:33Now the Senate version of the bill was,
  502. 35:36they amended the House pass version of the bill.
  503. 35:39So now the bill must go to the House
  504. 35:42to see if they will concur or deviate from the bill.
  505. 35:45The bill is over 800 pages long.
  506. 35:51I did a program before detailing what was in the house version of the bill.
  507. 35:56But there were several amendments and revisions of the Senate version of the bill that is challenging
  508. 36:05to track all of the different changes and things that are in the bill.
  509. 36:09It is interesting, obviously President Trump supports the measure and he has pledged to support
  510. 36:17primary challengers to any Republicans who voted against the bill, which has led to Senator
  511. 36:23Tom Tillis of North Carolina announcing that he is not running for reelection. Senator Tom
  512. 36:29Tillis said, I think I'm about out on this. Now, Republican House of Representatives member
  513. 36:38Thomas Massey opposed to building house representatives and in kind of a renewal of the Trump Elon
  514. 36:47Musk's bat Elon Musk has now pledged to financially support Thomas Massey.
  515. 36:58So it is man it is it is it is wild. I'm going to take some time to wrap my mind around the
  516. 37:07Senate amendments that took place today. I got some early indications that it's not an automatic
  517. 37:15that the House is going to pass the revision of what they previously passed.
  518. 37:23But President Trump was pushing very hard for this bill to be passed. And I shared before
  519. 37:29my conflict. I understand there's some things in the bill that are just fantastic. Like one of the
  520. 37:33amazing things is finally there's been a legislative measure and it is still in the bill as we're
  521. 37:38speaking right now to eliminate abortion providers from Medicaid funding. That's huge. Guess what that
  522. 37:45That means no more Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood.
  523. 37:51We had the Supreme Court ruling last week at the state of South Carolina remove Planned
  524. 37:56Parenthood from the state Medicaid funding scheme.
  525. 37:59This would be the federal legislative stripping of Planned Parenthood.
  526. 38:05To that point, this is a story that dropped today.
  527. 38:09A Planned Parenthood murder hood clinic in Cleveland, Ohio's Midtown neighborhood has
  528. 38:15is now permanently closed.
  529. 38:18The abortuary located at 7997 Euclid Avenue shut its doors permanently today.
  530. 38:26Why they cited the federal freeze on Title 10 funds, right?
  531. 38:32So Title 10 is another mechanism by which abortion providers secure funding.
  532. 38:36And I'm saying abortion providers because the legislation doesn't name plan perimeters
  533. 38:40specifically, but says any organization or entity that provides abortion, which is the
  534. 38:45way to go about doing that.
  535. 38:46an amazing provision in it. I think it's wonderful and it's needful for President Trump's tax
  536. 38:54cuts and jobs act from 2017 to be made permanent. That is in the big beautiful bill. Because
  537. 39:03if Congress doesn't do anything, President Trump's 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act expires
  538. 39:10and guess what that does is everybody's taxes. They go up. They go up. But for the longest
  539. 39:18time, there's been the necessity of returning to regular order
  540. 39:25concerned in a budget. When is that going to happen? Some people
  541. 39:27like me and they that's a pipe dream that that will never
  542. 39:30happen again. And I also understand that there's the world
  543. 39:34as we would like it to be and deal with the world as it is. That's
  544. 39:39true. The house of representatives has a very slim majority,
  545. 39:46very slim Republican majority, very slim. So the have all of
  546. 39:50those things coming into play. Getting back to Ohio for a second. Ohio on Ohio
  547. 39:55unfortunately still has three other Planned Parenthood of Bortuaries in
  548. 40:02Cayuga County, old Brooklyn, Rocky River and Bedford Heights. Those are other three in
  549. 40:10the county where this one was closed down. So it is, you know, it's high time the
  550. 40:15American public and you even have the overwhelming majority in the Republican
  551. 40:20party and you have a significant contingent of Democrat party members who opposed federal
  552. 40:26funding to abortion providers.
  553. 40:28There shouldn't be a high bar to cross to say, hey, we don't really want taxpayer, we won't
  554. 40:37allow taxpayer dollars to go to entities that kill children.
  555. 40:40Because taxpayers, taxpayers largely don't want their money going to entities that kill
  556. 40:46children.
  557. 40:50So you have these competing interests and these things percolating.
  558. 40:57and like I said, the bill is over 800 pages.
  559. 40:59So I literally could spend the whole hour
  560. 41:01telling you everything that's in the bill
  561. 41:02and I still wouldn't be finished by the time the show was over
  562. 41:05because it's one of these huge omnibus bills, you know?
  563. 41:11Which is how the government has been operating
  564. 41:13for how long now?
  565. 41:16There are lots of chicanery that's hidden
  566. 41:19within 800 pages, then you also have,
  567. 41:23are these people really reading these bills?
  568. 41:27Or are they saying they read them?
  569. 41:31It's wild, man.
  570. 41:34But as I was saying before, that's important.
  571. 41:39Legislation is important, but it's not exclusively,
  572. 41:42nor ultimately important.
  573. 41:45This is why I say every day, what goes on in your house
  574. 41:47is more important than what's going on in the White House.
  575. 41:50Because every day we have the opportunity to invest
  576. 41:53in creating the type of people who are either
  577. 41:56except or reject lies.
  578. 42:03And as Francis Schaeffer has explained,
  579. 42:05And ideas have consequences.
  580. 42:07I've added that I, and bad ideas create casualties.
  581. 42:14There's scores of lies, pernicious lies,
  582. 42:23that many don't even recognize their lies,
  583. 42:26but our society is functioning with the assumption
  584. 42:28that they're true.
  585. 42:33You know, when you have the phenomenon,
  586. 42:35as I mentioned earlier, life, liberty,
  587. 42:36and pursuit of happiness, what good is the pursuit
  588. 42:38of happiness if you're not alive?
  589. 42:42Then when you have those that are alive,
  590. 42:45you literally have, you know, again, agents of Satan attempting to corrupt the hearts and
  591. 42:50minds of people at the earliest levels.
  592. 42:52Why else would you want to try to introduce to a pre-kinder gardener?
  593. 42:57The idea, and I read to you yesterday from Justice Thomas' concurring opinion, when the
  594. 43:01teacher guides say that they're literally using these books and instructing the teachers in
  595. 43:06such a way so they can interrupt what the children already think about identity and sexuality.
  596. 43:11That's literally a part of their deliberations.
  597. 43:20We've had one of the consequences of the sexual revelation,
  598. 43:29revolution, the perpetuation of fatherlessness,
  599. 43:35fatherlessness and father absence.
  600. 43:38Guess who ends up suffering from that?
  601. 43:39Everybody, because little girls are deprived
  602. 43:42from learning what true godly manhood is supposed to be.
  603. 43:46Boys are deprived of learning what godly manhood
  604. 43:49is supposed to be.
  605. 43:50And then you have this thing.
  606. 43:52People grow up.
  607. 43:54you have adult bodies with adolescent minds and hearts.
  608. 44:00You have adult bodies with adolescent minds and hearts.
  609. 44:03Pursuing what the world said is the pinnacle of existence,
  610. 44:06which is hedonistic and self-gratification.
  611. 44:11And so you have a society of people that are pursuing it.
  612. 44:15And then they go to realize, man,
  613. 44:17I've made a baby with this woman, I don't even like her.
  614. 44:21So then what happens?
  615. 44:22Decimate the family, generation after generation after generation.
  616. 44:27It's one thing if you have one generation that say, oh, man, we messed up.
  617. 44:31We need to go back to what the previous generation did.
  618. 44:33But what happens when you have repeated generations that follow the same way you
  619. 44:38forget, wait, where do we deviate from?
  620. 44:40Where do we miss it? Where do we lose it?
  621. 44:43We could get back to what's needed to be gotten back to by the word of God, but oh,
  622. 44:47well, we don't use the word of God.
  623. 44:50Why will we include that?
  624. 44:51And the thing.
  625. 44:55So now you have this phenomenon
  626. 45:00that is perpetuating a degradation of society.
  627. 45:05And we all lose as a result of that.
  628. 45:08We lose temporarily because if you'd pay attention
  629. 45:12to the enlargement of the entitlement welfare state,
  630. 45:16it has corresponded directly to the decimation of the family.
  631. 45:22It tracks exactly with that.
  632. 45:25When we had higher percentages of intact families
  633. 45:30with children who are reared in a home with their married father and mother,
  634. 45:34we did not have the same penchant for the ever-enlarging Leviathan welfare state.
  635. 45:42But not only that.
  636. 45:48When sinfulness becomes normalized as societies norm,
  637. 45:56unless there's repentance, you have souls that will end up in eternal damnation.
  638. 46:01And in so many instances because the God of the Bible has been rejected, we are looking solely for
  639. 46:17society
  640. 46:18redress with no concern at all for what is eternal.
  641. 46:23Instead of recognizing our aims should be towards eternity and in the process of the trajectory towards eternity,
  642. 46:31we end up reaping the benefits of applying the wisdom of God in our societies.
  643. 46:40That is, you know, and a lot of people have made this assertion.
  644. 46:49This is not novel to me, but you have the French philosopher and historian Alexander
  645. 46:55de Tocqueville and on his two-volume works on democracy in America.
  646. 47:00No, forgive the French, when he doesn't understand we are a constitutional republic.
  647. 47:04But he was writing for the paradigm of the French Revolution in the 1800s and sought to
  648. 47:08compare the results of the French Revolution to the American Revolution.
  649. 47:13And he said, I sought for the source of America's greatness.
  650. 47:17And I saw for it in her banking industry.
  651. 47:20And they went there.
  652. 47:21I saw for it in her educational system and it went there.
  653. 47:23And I saw for it in names of all these different areas.
  654. 47:25And he says, it was not until I entered the American churches, pulpits, a flamed and righteousness
  655. 47:32that I then learned the source of America's greatness.
  656. 47:36And then he included this harrowing warning, America is great because she is good.
  657. 47:44But when America ceases to be good, she will cease to be great.
  658. 47:50The goodness that the talk feel identified, I would argue, flows from the proliferation
  659. 47:56of a biblical worldview applied into societies, neighborliness, and other features.
  660. 48:02Not perfect, by no means.
  661. 48:04I know it wasn't perfect.
  662. 48:07But when you compare, and from his standpoint, compare the atheist French Revolution to the
  663. 48:15The Just War theory advanced American Revolution and the consequences.
  664. 48:20You see what happened in America, post American Revolution, see what happened in France, post
  665. 48:25American Revolution.
  666. 48:30His conclusion was obvious because of his paradigm.
  667. 48:35This is why you often have legal immigrants to our country.
  668. 48:38They appreciate America more than people who are born here sometimes because they know the
  669. 48:44chaos, the treachery that they've come from.
  670. 48:47But we've kind of, many of us have inherited this freedom and we act as if this is common.
  671. 48:52And this is not common in world history,
  672. 48:55let alone common contemporarily.
  673. 48:58But it's easy to despise your home cooking
  674. 49:04because you eat meals every day.
  675. 49:07But when you ain't eating,
  676. 49:11it's harder for you to despise home cooking.
  677. 49:14What I'm saying, folks,
  678. 49:16this God has given us a reprieve.
  679. 49:17God has extended mercy to our nation,
  680. 49:20but prudence requires us to respond appropriately.
  681. 49:23If we focus solely on fiscal matters,
  682. 49:25focus solely on political matters and we do not reflect on the need for repentance
  683. 49:31we are missing the boat. May God grace our nation with repentance." The views and
  684. 49:40opinions expressed in this broadcast may not necessarily reflect those of the
  685. 49:44American Family Association or American Family Radio.
