  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. 0:28And now, the Hamilton Corner.
  11. 0:33Good evening, everyone.
  12. 0:35Welcome to the Hamilton Corner.
  13. 0:36My name is Abraham Hamilton.
  14. 0:38The third, I'm the host of the program
  15. 0:40joined by the corner contingent right across from me.
  16. 0:43Mr. Marty Sparks lightened up the dark inside the studio.
  17. 0:47This evening, still in perpetual,
  18. 0:49would a hollit recovery, but he's making it.
  19. 0:52He's making it in the screening room.
  20. 0:54Produced extraordinaire, J. Mack often imitated
  21. 0:57never duplicate kid whether you travel by boat train or car don't forget the
  22. 1:03real double R is in studio as well we're ready to rock and roll with today's
  23. 1:08edition of the program and I'm so many things are swirling around the nation I'm
  24. 1:13heavy-hearted in Kentucky had a gunman who enters the church and kills a
  25. 1:19grandmother and her daughter injures others including the pastor of the church
  26. 1:26man, our country, man, we used to have a respect for the house of God, you know, but you see
  27. 1:36that as eroding, it is the thing that is unraveling in our society, it's happening in the hearts
  28. 1:42and minds of our fellow citizens.
  29. 1:44And in some instances, non-citizens who just happen to enter the country illegally, you
  30. 1:52have what I will describe in the next segment as frankly the biggest scandal and at a minimum,
  31. 2:02the last half century. And that is what I'm calling the weekend at Bernie 1600 Pennsylvania
  32. 2:07Avenue edition. You know, and I know this kind of funny to mention it, but we literally
  33. 2:15had a time in American history where the elected president of the United States was not the executive
  34. 2:21operating as a chief executive of our nation.
  35. 2:24We'll get into that.
  36. 2:28What is going on with Jimmy Joanna Gaines?
  37. 2:32It's just a host of things that are happening.
  38. 2:37But none of those things are more important
  39. 2:38what's going on in your home, man.
  40. 2:40And I'm gonna talk about training ourselves
  41. 2:41for godliness in a moment here,
  42. 2:43but that it has to happen in our homes.
  43. 2:48One of the sobering sources of scriptural texts
  44. 2:52is when the Bible says,
  45. 2:54Samson, the glory of God had departed from Samson, but he was unaware of it.
  46. 3:00And he said to himself, he would shake himself as he had done in the past and
  47. 3:04expect to produce the same results he had in the past.
  48. 3:07And y'all know how that story ended for him.
  49. 3:10Um, it was not so, you know, uh, clearly a, a complex and tortured person in scripture,
  50. 3:21but I'm concerned that not many people are recognizing what has and what is
  51. 3:26happening to our country and we need to be aware of it, but not just at a macro level,
  52. 3:31what's happening on a ground level.
  53. 3:32So at this very moment, as many of you are making your transition from your part time jobs
  54. 3:37where you generate an income, transitioning to your full time jobs where you cultivate
  55. 3:42an outcome.
  56. 3:43I cannot emphasize enough how important it is for each and every one of us to respond
  57. 3:48to the Lord's call starting right in our own homes.
  58. 3:52We sometimes don't recognize how important it is for one person.
  59. 3:55You know, can one person make a difference?
  60. 3:58Absolutely, absolutely.
  61. 4:02We just have to make sure that we set our hearts
  62. 4:06on what God describes as being successful.
  63. 4:09We need to understand that from God's standpoint,
  64. 4:13what he requires of us is faithfulness,
  65. 4:15his faithfulness, and for us to have an appropriate
  66. 4:20significance applied to eternal matters.
  67. 4:27We will never as a society outvote out politic
  68. 4:32or even outchurch the deficiencies that persist
  69. 4:35in our homes, man.
  70. 4:39We have to be about our father's business
  71. 4:41starting right in our homes.
  72. 4:43To the word of God, we go first Timothy chapter four,
  73. 4:47verses six and seven, first Timothy chapter four,
  74. 4:51verses six and seven.
  75. 4:54The word of God says this, the Apostle Paul is writing
  76. 4:56as he's being carried by the Spirit of God.
  77. 5:00And he says this, if you put these things before the brothers,
  78. 5:04you will be a good servant of Jesus Christ,
  79. 5:07being trained in the words of the faith
  80. 5:11and of the good doctrine or the sound doctrine
  81. 5:14that you have followed,
  82. 5:16have nothing to do with irreverent silly miss.
  83. 5:20Rather, train yourself for godliness.
  84. 5:26Now I wanna pause right there
  85. 5:28And the Apostle Paul goes on to describe, you know,
  86. 5:31a contrast between, you know, physical training,
  87. 5:36it's good to be physically fit.
  88. 5:38You know, I'm doing some things,
  89. 5:39making some adjustments, trying to get more fit myself.
  90. 5:42Well, I'm telling you it's much harder to get back in shape
  91. 5:45than it is to stay in shape.
  92. 5:49And physical training has its benefit,
  93. 5:53but spiritual training has eternal benefit,
  94. 5:56eternal benefit.
  95. 5:58You will never find me denigrating physical fitness.
  96. 6:02But if we are physically fit, but we're spiritually unfit,
  97. 6:08guys, we're not fit.
  98. 6:10The scripture here discusses training oneself for godliness
  99. 6:15that should cause us to have as an immediate takeaway
  100. 6:20that godliness requires training.
  101. 6:24You don't just wake up, bloop, eyes open,
  102. 6:27well, I'll be godly today.
  103. 6:29It requires us to put into practice the foundations and fundamentals of the faith of Christ following
  104. 6:38in our daily lives.
  105. 6:40You know, I often say, you will never understand the fiery furnace if you don't understand the
  106. 6:4610 day table of testing.
  107. 6:48What am I talking about?
  108. 6:49Daniel and his friends had the 10 day table of testing in the very beginning of the book
  109. 6:54Daniel long before there was a fire
  110. 6:57of furnace long before there was you
  111. 7:00know a golden statute and that's it
  112. 7:02long before there's a lion's den there
  113. 7:04is the 10-day table of testing and this
  114. 7:0710-day table of testing transpires in
  115. 7:09anonymity there's no lights camera action
  116. 7:11there's no big stage but because the
  117. 7:15three Hebrew Yaleid the four including
  118. 7:18Daniel when there were boys in Daniel
  119. 7:20chapter one and y'all know I've said that
  120. 7:22they often have described as a three
  121. 7:24Hebrew boys, but really they were only boys in the first chapter, from chapter two on.
  122. 7:28They grow them in.
  123. 7:30But it is the godliness that was cultivated at the 10 day table of testing for themselves
  124. 7:37being in Babylon and having a resolution beginning with Daniel and then cascading it
  125. 7:43with his friends, the resolution not to defile themselves, not to defile themselves, not to
  126. 7:48allow their physical geographical location in Babylon to corrupt their
  127. 7:53internal disposition. I often say that they were in Babylon, but Babylon never lived
  128. 7:58in them. You know, their boys in chapter one, by the time you get to Daniel and
  129. 8:02the lions, then Daniel was approaching, if not already, at 80 years old or they're
  130. 8:06about an octogenarian. I know there are a lot of paintings that try to
  131. 8:10present it as if Daniel's a little boy, then he ain't a little boy when the
  132. 8:14lions are coming. When the lions dinner coming, the lions didn't
  133. 8:17coming and Daniel persists throughout numerous changes of
  134. 8:22administrations from prominent heads of state. But nevertheless,
  135. 8:26Daniel never changes. You have a high level intelligence agency
  136. 8:31agency investigation promulgated to try to find some way to
  137. 8:35compromise Daniel almost like an Epstein list or something like
  138. 8:38that. But they're not able to find anything on Daniel. The only
  139. 8:43way they can get him to ensnare him is if you make his commitment
  140. 8:46to his god illegal. That's what the sad traps said about him.
  141. 8:53But in order to understand that longevity of fidelity to Yahweh,
  142. 8:58you have to go back to the 10 day table of testing. You don't wake up.
  143. 9:03But now I'm 25. I shall be godly.
  144. 9:07Well, godliness requires training, man.
  145. 9:09Godliness requires training.
  146. 9:11Godliness requires truth in the inward parts.
  147. 9:14Godliness requires a willingness to stand firm on God's word when it's not
  148. 9:18popular in the smaller circumstances around the water cooler,
  149. 9:22you know, in the locker room, you know, in the private conversations.
  150. 9:27Are we godly there? Because if we're not godly in the private conversations,
  151. 9:30in the lesser known, less visible, showing up moments, you can't expect to shake yourself.
  152. 9:37And in the more visible showing up moments, yes, I shall remain faithful to God here.
  153. 9:41Mm, are you sure? Are you, are you the type where the little white lies should give a pass?
  154. 9:48I say, you know, what's the big deal?
  155. 9:52When I talk to people, I don't really converse directly,
  156. 9:55but there are people who I'm connected to,
  157. 9:58who do with women, but when I talk to men about a pornography,
  158. 10:03I say, sometimes you have more reference of respect
  159. 10:07for other people than you do for God.
  160. 10:10Oh, people get mad.
  161. 10:12I can go dare you.
  162. 10:13I can say that.
  163. 10:13I say, well, would you do that?
  164. 10:15If so, so was in the room with you?
  165. 10:17Well, of course not.
  166. 10:18Would you do that?
  167. 10:20If your wife was in a room with you?
  168. 10:21Well, of course not.
  169. 10:22And I just said to say, do you have more respect for God
  170. 10:24for your wife than you do for God?
  171. 10:27How can you say that?
  172. 10:28Well, God is in a room with you even when your wife is not.
  173. 10:31You know?
  174. 10:32But the private anonymous showing up moments
  175. 10:35are what provide the foundation that provides the impetus,
  176. 10:38the drive and the potency for the public showing up moments.
  177. 10:42Train yourself for godliness.
  178. 10:46It has to come to a point that as we are living
  179. 10:49this post-truth culture in order to desire truth to be promulgated and established publicly,
  180. 10:57we have to be lovers of truth privately.
  181. 11:00We have to be lovers of truth personally.
  182. 11:04We have to seek to walk upright when there are no human beings around.
  183. 11:08Nobody else is looking.
  184. 11:10You often hear the adage said that the real you is who you are when no one else is around.
  185. 11:14There is some truth to that.
  186. 11:17But the facts are that even when nobody is around physically, God is still there.
  187. 11:22And it is cultivating, it is as a result of cultivating godliness as a manner of living.
  188. 11:29That's how you move away from being a performative Christian.
  189. 11:32A performative Christian is one who puts on a performance depending on the audience that's
  190. 11:36around.
  191. 11:37The quantity of the audience, the makeup of the audience.
  192. 11:40If I'm at church, quote unquote, I put on church face, use church lingo, use church vernacular.
  193. 11:46I know how to act in a church environment.
  194. 11:49Then when I'm not in the proverbial church environment,
  195. 11:52I'm an entirely different person.
  196. 11:55That's performative.
  197. 11:56But when it's you, the real you is you,
  198. 11:58no matter what environment you're in.
  199. 12:03In order for there to be enduring godliness, folks,
  200. 12:07that godliness has to be cultivated
  201. 12:10prior to anybody else's watching eyes.
  202. 12:14And what happens so often when we see, you know,
  203. 12:18you know, the so-called Christian celebrity,
  204. 12:20And, you know, in a moment, you know, of public scrutiny,
  205. 12:27we often see, not always, but we often see him fold.
  206. 12:29You know, I'm thinking about the whole situation.
  207. 12:31We're Lauren Daggle years ago.
  208. 12:33And maybe she's changed.
  209. 12:34I don't know.
  210. 12:35I haven't followed her, you know, the whole deal.
  211. 12:37But she was on a secular interview
  212. 12:39and she was a Christian singer
  213. 12:40and she was asked whether or not homosexuality was a sin.
  214. 12:43She said she didn't know.
  215. 12:44You know, she asked the secular show hosts,
  216. 12:47if you know, if y'all find out, would you let me know?
  217. 12:50Then she went on to say, you know,
  218. 12:51I have friends and I have this and I don't really know if it's a
  219. 12:54synonata. I'm just like, and that on the insult and she's from my own state.
  220. 13:01You know, I'm like, Nah, not from Louisiana with this kind of
  221. 13:04squeamishness to which I said, I don't know really how to take that to
  222. 13:09cause today you don't know you don't have a Bible. You never want to
  223. 13:11buy or do you know you simply unwilling to say what you know is true in
  224. 13:15front of these folks, you know, or you don't really want to say it
  225. 13:21because you have people close to who you care about and you don't want to offend
  226. 13:24them, you don't want to hurt their feelings. To which I'm just simply saying, I'm not trying to be,
  227. 13:28you know, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, to bludgeon anybody, but I think it's far worse to have somebody close to
  228. 13:35you and tell them the truth and the truth that you refuse to tell them contributes to them going to
  229. 13:38hell. I think that's far worse. That's far worse than making them uncomfortable. You don't have to
  230. 13:44be belligerent. You don't have to be obtuse. You don't have to be, you know, a, a, an intentionally
  231. 13:49offensive person, but love requires truth. And the thing that's so wild is that we have people
  232. 13:55unwilling to say truth on this particular issue because of the cultural prevalence of the issue.
  233. 14:00But you would never say the same thing to a thief. You would say, nah man, you're stealing,
  234. 14:04you need to stop stealing. You probably would stop hanging around people with thieves. Maybe.
  235. 14:12Fornicators liars. I guarantee you if Lauren Dego was asked if a friend of hers was committing
  236. 14:18adultery, let's say it's a male friend who was committing adultery on his wife. If she was asked
  237. 14:22As is that a sin, I'm pretty sure she wouldn't say,
  238. 14:24I don't know, that's a sin.
  239. 14:27But godliness, folks, is not a suespentae phenomenon.
  240. 14:32You don't instantly come across it.
  241. 14:34Godliness is the product of training.
  242. 14:38And as we come to learn what is true,
  243. 14:41God knows that as we grow through the sanctification process,
  244. 14:45we have to mature into godliness,
  245. 14:48but in order to do so, we have to train ourselves
  246. 14:51Godliness, godliness, it's a product of training.
  247. 14:59A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker in Exodus 1
  248. 15:04is a wonderful story of two little midwives, Shippen Pua,
  249. 15:08who Tferal told them, kill the baby boys when they're born.
  250. 15:12And they had it in their heart.
  251. 15:14They just knew this is wrong.
  252. 15:15And their perspective was, we're not going to do this,
  253. 15:18because this is against God's will, and they refuse to do it.
  254. 15:21What wonderful role models, Shippen Pua,
  255. 15:24are not only for pastors, but for every believer in every context,
  256. 15:27because it is always going to take courage to really
  257. 15:30follow Jesus accurately.
  258. 15:32And it's one of those things where I believe absolutely
  259. 15:35every believer should diligently say,
  260. 15:37Lord, show me what you want me to do to help end the slaughter
  261. 15:41of children in our country.
  262. 15:43And I believe God has something for every believer to do to help.
  263. 15:46The devil hates grown folks, and he hates children.
  264. 15:49The devil can't stand children, and he loves to abort them.
  265. 15:53So it's important for us to understand,
  266. 15:55this is serious business.
  267. 16:04Shining light into the darkness,
  268. 16:06this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
  269. 16:10Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton
  270. 16:13the third year.
  271. 16:13I should mention this week, July 18th and 19th,
  272. 16:18in Phoenix, Arizona, I will be one of the speakers
  273. 16:23and ministers at the Arizona Families for Home Education
  274. 16:26Convention.
  275. 16:28I am actually doing a keynote address Saturday morning at 8 30.
  276. 16:33And I also have three other workshops during the convention.
  277. 16:38If you're in the area or willing to come to the area at the Phoenix Convention Center, you
  278. 16:41would have to go to afhe.org to register.
  279. 16:45It's going to be an amazing time.
  280. 16:47I was looking at the schedule earlier this morning.
  281. 16:49I said, wow, this is going to be just an amazing and amazing time encouraging people to pursue
  282. 16:56really what God had for them and helping to provide some nuts and bolts. How do you do this? You know,
  283. 17:02if we start up, I remember, I remember being there. My wife and I had nobody around us who were
  284. 17:08disciplining their children from their home, including the education, and the Lord has brought us an
  285. 17:14amazing way. And so if we could be a blessing and a benefit to anyone, we certainly love to do that.
  286. 17:19So afhe.org is a website July 18th and 19th at the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, Arizona.
  287. 17:25will be there this weekend looking forward to that.
  288. 17:29All right, one of, if not the most, the biggest scandal in the last, at a minimum half centuries,
  289. 17:40what I said is what I describe as the weekend at Bernie's 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue edition.
  290. 17:47You know, and if you're familiar with the movie, I'm not saying you need to go and watch it,
  291. 17:52but Bernie, Bernie's body was in the building, but Bernie was gone.
  292. 17:57And in fact, they even simulated Bernie's body for a while, you know, and in the movie.
  293. 18:03And there were a lot of people when the Democrat powerbroker said, okay, now is the time.
  294. 18:12Some of you will recall following the 2020 election to where Mr. Joseph Ramen Ed Biden
  295. 18:20was declared the 40, what, sixth over office occupant.
  296. 18:26Some of you have been very keen to notice how I refer to him as the Oval Office occupant
  297. 18:31as opposed to elected president because I've long said and I've always and I maintain that
  298. 18:39the 2020 presidential election was a ruse.
  299. 18:41I've long said that and I'm going to continue to say it.
  300. 18:45Now I recognize he was the Oval Office occupant, Mr. Joseph Robin Ed Biden talking about, but
  301. 18:51it was a ruse.
  302. 18:53And soon after that election I said, oh man, they just use this guy to try to stop the
  303. 18:57of a minimum of President Trump had developed
  304. 19:00and how the pandemic was one of the primary tools
  305. 19:04that was utilized to try to interrupt his presidency.
  306. 19:07And I got a lot of heat for saying that.
  307. 19:09I remember YouTube kicked my channel off
  308. 19:11for saying these things, for having Dr. Christina Parks
  309. 19:15on to talk about why we do using these emergency
  310. 19:18authorization for these injections.
  311. 19:21Why is I have remekton being scuttled?
  312. 19:23Why these other things?
  313. 19:24I'll talk about all of that.
  314. 19:26And I wasn't the only one.
  315. 19:27So I'm not trying to make myself a grandize myself,
  316. 19:30but these are just true facts.
  317. 19:33And I said, as soon as it is executable,
  318. 19:40Joseph Robin Edbine will not be the Democrat candidate
  319. 19:43for the 2024 presidency.
  320. 19:45I said that in 2021.
  321. 19:50And what happened?
  322. 19:53We saw what happened.
  323. 19:56So when the power brokers decided,
  324. 19:57following the June, 2024 debate performance by Mr. Biden
  325. 20:04after lying to the American people for several years.
  326. 20:08I mean, do we have to go over the lies?
  327. 20:11Oh, the laptop.
  328. 20:13Oh, all the lies.
  329. 20:14I mean, I remember having a conversation in person
  330. 20:16with an AFR supporter who was so frustrated
  331. 20:20because a passionate, consistent listener would say,
  332. 20:23hey, some of the stuff, I only hear it on your show.
  333. 20:26I only hear it on AFR.
  334. 20:27And some of my family members and friends think I'm crazy.
  335. 20:30Cause they say to me, if those things were true,
  336. 20:33they would be everywhere.
  337. 20:37And this was a conversation particularly about the laptop.
  338. 20:41With that, you know, we got to make sure we take care
  339. 20:43of the big guy and all of these things that are happening.
  340. 20:45Remember Bob Alinsky, remember that?
  341. 20:48Why is it this being covered?
  342. 20:50And so now all the information is coming out.
  343. 20:52All these people know, yeah, yeah, laptop was true.
  344. 20:54And now we got FBI's evidence of, you know, false,
  345. 20:58Uh, drivers license is used to get mail-in ballots from China.
  346. 21:03Like, all this stuff is coming out and it's like, so once the Democrat power broker said,
  347. 21:10all right, operation go, get Joe off the ticket.
  348. 21:14On a moment's notice, you notice the entire media apparatus reverse.
  349. 21:19You know, they were almost like they were doing the cha-cha slide, you know, reverse.
  350. 21:27And do you need reverse.
  351. 21:28Oh, I can't believe Jiggie Joe Biden's performance.
  352. 21:32Oh my goodness.
  353. 21:33Oh, maybe he shouldn't be the candidate.
  354. 21:35Oh, I'm like, you suck as a liar.
  355. 21:38Like Jake Tapper with the audacity.
  356. 21:39He was one of the main ones.
  357. 21:41Say, oh, you're making fun of Joe Biden's stutter.
  358. 21:43Like, do you have a liar?
  359. 21:45Do you go publish a book?
  360. 21:46Talk about the cover up you were part of the cover up.
  361. 21:50But my question was, why was there such a willingness
  362. 21:53to talk about Joe Biden's inability to campaign
  363. 21:58for the presidency?
  364. 21:59But nobody wanted to discuss who's the president now?
  365. 22:04Who has been the president?
  366. 22:06How long has he been so incapacitated,
  367. 22:10or to say it differently, so mentally declined
  368. 22:14that he was incapable of operating the presidency,
  369. 22:18then you start having the dueling stories coming out.
  370. 22:21How the Democrat establishment forced him out,
  371. 22:23how Nancy Pelosi and all this forced him out.
  372. 22:24Now all these people come, oh, he put a lid on his days
  373. 22:27at three o'clock, four o'clock he's sleeping,
  374. 22:29All these other things and all that stuff
  375. 22:30that had come out, but nobody wanted to dress,
  376. 22:32but who was the president?
  377. 22:35Who had been the president?
  378. 22:36Then you have, oh yeah, all of a sudden,
  379. 22:38Mr. Biden has stage four cancer, and we just found that out.
  380. 22:45What? Guys, this, and the reason why I'm saying
  381. 22:50this is the biggest scandal is you have the leader
  382. 22:53of the free world, even in our decline,
  383. 22:58the United States of America is still the most potent
  384. 23:00nation in the world and we literally have an executive branch that nobody knows who's really
  385. 23:07running it. Who's running it? Who's running it? So then you have following President Trump's election,
  386. 23:17Mike Howell, president of the Oversight Project using, you know, FOIA requests and
  387. 23:26technological innovation, what he brings to the fore, the record number of pardons that
  388. 23:34that Mr. Joseph Robinette signs,
  389. 23:36including the last minute preemptive pardon
  390. 23:40of Dr. Froulchy and family members
  391. 23:43and he pardons his son after the world was told.
  392. 23:46Oh, he would never pardon a family member.
  393. 23:48And then he pardons his son for 11 years, backdated.
  394. 23:54And the world's like, oh, wow, what's going on?
  395. 23:58So Mike out of the oversight project said,
  396. 23:59hey, by the way, we're examining these things.
  397. 24:01And it looks like none of these things have been signed
  398. 24:04by pen, they've been signed via auto pen.
  399. 24:08Then you have, and I'm explaining this,
  400. 24:11because I want you to see the backdrop,
  401. 24:12because the New York Times published a story Sunday
  402. 24:16saying, oh, Mr. Biden says he gave the official,
  403. 24:19this is the headline, no, I'll read the exact headline.
  404. 24:21The exact headline was quote, Biden says,
  405. 24:23he made the clemency decisions
  406. 24:25that were recorded with auto pen,
  407. 24:26end quote, New York Times, that beacon of truth.
  408. 24:33So that's the headline they ran with,
  409. 24:35but the actual story when you read it
  410. 24:37provides evidence to the contrary.
  411. 24:41Scores of emails from the National Archives reveals,
  412. 24:45oh snap, Joe Biden didn't make individual decisions
  413. 24:49concerning the pardons.
  414. 24:53You had staffers making decisions.
  415. 24:56And in fact, there's no documented evidence of Joe Biden
  416. 25:02instructing this to, is to be,
  417. 25:04autopilot should be used this way.
  418. 25:06At best you have, oh, I orally said this,
  419. 25:09But the emails indicate, oh no, I'm going to get to that in a moment.
  420. 25:14So, but what happened that precipitated this story?
  421. 25:18Well, the New York Times got on the phone with Joe Biden and interviewed him for 10 minutes.
  422. 25:26Well, what had happened before that?
  423. 25:29Oh, this is what happens, guys.
  424. 25:32The week prior, White House doctor Kevin O'Connor was testifying before the House of Representatives
  425. 25:40oversight committee and something very, very interesting happened with a physician testifying
  426. 25:47about the care that he offered to Mr. Biden during his time in the White House. Mr. Kevin
  427. 25:53O'Connor invoked his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination to avoid answering
  428. 26:00questions presented to him by the White House Oversight Committee.
  429. 26:03Now, why would a doctor do that? The doctor is simply being asked about his care for Mr.
  430. 26:10asked about certain things, the cancer diagnosis that just popped up all of a
  431. 26:15sudden, which the Bidens have publicized. So there's no risk to the doctor patient
  432. 26:20privilege there. So when Dr. O'Connor is being asked, and this story kind of went
  433. 26:25under the radar, when Dr. O'Connor is being asked about the treatment in the
  434. 26:30care rendered to Mr. Biden during his time in the White House, he responds, I
  435. 26:37I plead the fifth.
  436. 26:40I invoke my fifth amendment privilege against self-discrimination.
  437. 26:44He also mentions that he don't want his answers to violate doctor patient privilege.
  438. 26:48Understand that, respect that.
  439. 26:50But I'm saying this because most people don't understand they have a general idea about what
  440. 26:54the fifth amendment is.
  441. 26:57But the invocation of the fifth amendment privilege has a very specific application.
  442. 27:01What is that application?
  443. 27:03The Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination only applies in a criminal context.
  444. 27:09What the doctor is saying is that I am not going to answer this question because the
  445. 27:13Constitution protects me from incriminating myself criminally with the answer to this
  446. 27:18question.
  447. 27:19In other words, if I answered what y'all asking me, I could end up being charged with a criminal
  448. 27:25offense.
  449. 27:26Oh, yeah, good doctor.
  450. 27:31tell what criminal defense could be charged against you if you answer these questions.
  451. 27:38And so these are the events that led up to Mr. Biden getting on the phone with the New
  452. 27:44York Times because for some reason I guess he felt like the doctor's response gave some
  453. 27:50credibility to the notion that he was, you know, he had declined and he wasn't operating
  454. 27:58as the president, but that horse was out of the barn already.
  455. 28:03But is that more evidence of the decline?
  456. 28:06But you have to connect these things.
  457. 28:10So it was Dr. O'Connor's invocation of his Fifth Amendment privilege, which is constitutional
  458. 28:15privilege.
  459. 28:16Every American citizen enjoys that privilege that you cannot be compelled to testify against
  460. 28:20yourself in a criminal proceeding.
  461. 28:22But with Dr. O'Connor's invocation of the Fifth Amendment privilege indicates that at a minimum,
  462. 28:27He believes if I answer these questions with the truth is the discus is on me being charged
  463. 28:32criminally and I ain't going to do that.
  464. 28:36Why would he do that?
  465. 28:39Doctors usually are not well versed in the law.
  466. 28:45Clearly the doctor at some point received some type of legal counsel.
  467. 28:50Why would he do that?
  468. 28:52Well, this could be why.
  469. 29:01Listen to and watch clip number four.
  470. 29:05The New York Times is reporting that former President Biden told them that he had orally
  471. 29:10granted all the pardons and commutations issued at the end of his term, meaning he did not
  472. 29:16personally sign the official warrants for clemency.
  473. 29:20Biden told the times that he did in fact make every single one of the clemacy decisions himself,
  474. 29:26but says that the auto pen was used to sign the warrants since there were a lot of them.
  475. 29:31Now according to the Times Biden called Trump and Republicans liars for saying he was incapacitated
  476. 29:37and his aides used the auto pen without his authorization.
  477. 29:41So that was a headline for the story.
  478. 29:44But again, when you dig into the emails in the New York Times, this is so, this is a wild.
  479. 29:49As you read the story, when you get past the fluff that's trying to affirm the headline
  480. 29:57and you get into the nitty gritty of the piece, they admit.
  481. 30:00But when we looked at the emails from the National Archives, it turns out that the one
  482. 30:06who was directing the use of the auto pin at the end of the Biden administration was
  483. 30:12White House Secretary Stephanie Feldman.
  484. 30:15According to the email, Stephanie Feldman requested some type of documentation before
  485. 30:21she agreed to employ the auto pin to sign these pardons.
  486. 30:27Well in response, and I have to give Stephanie Feldman credit for that because I bet she's
  487. 30:30He's like, man, I ain't pressing that button unless I have some bases to do it.
  488. 30:34You're basically using the auto pin to sign Biden signature.
  489. 30:37She's like, I need some documentation before I do that.
  490. 30:41So the emails that reveal from the White House through the National Archives showed that the
  491. 30:48assertions that Biden met with senior aides and said, do this and do that, the ones who
  492. 30:56actually wrote the accounts that Stephanie Feldman required, they called them blurbs.
  493. 31:01The one who actually wrote those blurbs
  494. 31:02weren't even in the room with Biden.
  495. 31:05They were not in the room with Biden.
  496. 31:07The ones who wrote the blurbs that Stephanie Felton used
  497. 31:10before she pressed the button to apply the auto pin
  498. 31:13were provided to her by people who weren't even in the room.
  499. 31:18So how did that transpire?
  500. 31:20You have senior Biden administration officials
  501. 31:22like Jeffrey Zients, Z-I-E-N-T-S
  502. 31:26and White House counsel Ed Sisko
  503. 31:28who allegedly would convey to the lower level age
  504. 31:32This is what Biden said.
  505. 31:35This is who Biden said she'd get a pardon.
  506. 31:39This is what he said.
  507. 31:42What do you call that?
  508. 31:44Secondhand information.
  509. 31:48What do you call that?
  510. 31:49You're saying for the exercise
  511. 31:53of an absolute executive power that it only applies
  512. 31:58to the US president elected by the people
  513. 32:02through the Electoral College
  514. 32:03And you have the secret, the White House staff secretary,
  515. 32:08pressing the button based on secondhand blurbs.
  516. 32:13The Biden conversation went on to say,
  517. 32:15well, you know how to make every individual decision.
  518. 32:17There were categories, categories that, you know,
  519. 32:20I didn't read individual names.
  520. 32:23There were categories of people.
  521. 32:26And layer by layer guys, this onion is being unf-
  522. 32:29this onion is being scaled back.
  523. 32:35Following the New York Times story,
  524. 32:38Rand Paul referred Anthony Fauci
  525. 32:40for criminal investigation by the Department of Justice,
  526. 32:43saying that his pardon most likely is illegal
  527. 32:47because it was very likely was signed via auto pin
  528. 32:50without Joe Biden's knowledge.
  529. 33:02You might be familiar with the parables Jesus taught.
  530. 33:05Maybe you see them as simple stories
  531. 33:08that teach moral lessons,
  532. 33:09but was that the Lord's intention?
  533. 33:11Why did he teach in parables?
  534. 33:13then what can you take away from them today?
  535. 33:16Find out as John MacArthur looks at some of Jesus' best known stories with purpose.
  536. 33:22On the next, grace to you.
  537. 33:31Some would say truth is relative, and to the world, that's right.
  538. 33:35What the world considers to be truth fluctuates depending on the narrative they're trying
  539. 33:39to promote.
  540. 33:40Of course, we know truth is found in Scripture, and it never changes.
  541. 33:44The documentary, The God Who Speaks, proves the Bible's reliability as the source of
  542. 33:49of real truth and reinforces our belief in it
  543. 33:52as our firm foundation.

  546. 34:01Hey, I'm Brandt and her name is Sheri.
  547. 34:03Hello. She's a friend of mine
  548. 34:05who we were just praying for because of a surgery
  549. 34:08she just went through.
  550. 34:09Yes, and I am very happy about something.
  551. 34:11You actually talk about all the time, which is?
  552. 34:13Metashare. That is right.
  553. 34:14Yeah, so what was your experience like
  554. 34:16with Metashare and the healthcare bill?
  555. 34:18Honestly, brand seamless and what a blessing that is.
  556. 34:21When you're already nervous about a health issue,
  557. 34:23which I was, members shared my expenses.
  558. 34:26There were zero problems.
  559. 34:27And let me tell you, having people pray with you
  560. 34:30when you call in with your knee, that is just, I.
  561. 34:33It is refreshing.
  562. 34:34Yes, that's what it is.
  563. 34:34But I keep telling people, people love Medicare
  564. 34:37and they love saving tons of money too.
  565. 34:40The typical family can save $500 a month.
  566. 34:43I am very thankful for Medicare.
  567. 34:45It is so different and I mean different in a very, very good way.
  568. 34:49It is good, different.
  569. 34:50Call it now.
  570. 34:50They're easy to talk to and you can get a price within two minutes.

  574. 35:05The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Common Terrets
  575. 35:08are available at aFR.net.
  576. 35:11Back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
  577. 35:15Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton.
  578. 35:17the third year Marty brought up a good point during the break when Dr. O'Connor was called
  579. 35:21to testify before the House Oversight Committee. He wasn't, he was asked questions like, did
  580. 35:29someone tell you to do this? Did anyone tell you to lie? Did anyone tell you to do this?
  581. 35:34And his response would be the invocation of his privilege against self-discrimination under
  582. 35:38the Fifth Amendment, which obviously provokes the question, what are you afraid of, good sir?
  583. 35:47Why would the answer to this question put you in jeopardy of criminal prosecution?
  584. 35:53So you have that in addition to this, I know Mr. Robinette thought he was clearing up clearing
  585. 35:59the air, but he made it worse for himself because he admits, well, you know, I said orally, but
  586. 36:07not every single decision.
  587. 36:10And then you have the emails indicating that these lower level aides were basically writing
  588. 36:16up the blurbs, whatever the senior level aides told them to write.
  589. 36:21And then that would be sent to Ms. Feldman, and then she would approve the use of the
  590. 36:29auto pin concerning a January 19 meeting where the aides reportedly were up past 10 o'clock.
  591. 36:35Emails revealed that the preemptive pardon for Biden family members were discussed during
  592. 36:41this meeting.
  593. 36:42Three minutes after the meeting, White House counsels Cisco sent a draft summary of the
  594. 36:47former president to lead decision to Zients.
  595. 36:51The Zients is assistant who then forwarded it for approval.
  596. 36:55A final version went to Feldman minutes later, followed by a message from Zients saying,
  597. 37:00quote, I approve the use of the auto pin for the execution of the following pardons, end
  598. 37:04quote.
  599. 37:05Zients is saying that not Biden.
  600. 37:12We can have Bernie's man.
  601. 37:14Who was running the White House?
  602. 37:17Who was running the White House?
  603. 37:19The evidence is increasingly mounting.
  604. 37:22Now we all have believed it.
  605. 37:23I'm going to say this way.
  606. 37:24I long felt that way, but you have things like this that are coming out repeatedly over
  607. 37:29and over and over again.
  608. 37:30That's providing more evidence.
  609. 37:34And then you can't forget things like this.
  610. 37:36And man, I got to move quickly.
  611. 37:38But remember in 2023, well, this was later, but Speaker of the House Mike Johnson talked
  612. 37:45about his experience with Mr. Biden shortly after he became Speaker in 2023.
  613. 37:54And I just want to bring this back to your attention because these things should not be
  614. 37:58ignored.
  615. 38:00How can we be a nation that is governed, that is of the people, by the people, for the people
  616. 38:06where the people exercise ultimate authority when the people are intentionally being misled
  617. 38:10and deceived away from what's actually happening in the country?
  618. 38:14Listen to and watch clip number two where Speaker Johnson makes the statement, Mr. Biden
  619. 38:21obviously had not been in charge for some time.
  620. 38:24Number two, go.
  621. 38:25I do stand by it and I say this without any personal animus at all.
  622. 38:29I mean, in some ways, I actually kind of feel sorry for Joe Biden.
  623. 38:32I mean, he's in the twilight years of his life.
  624. 38:34He has not obviously has not been in charge for some time.
  625. 38:38And I know this by personal observation and now the whole world knows it.
  626. 38:41And it's been very, very concerning to me over the last, you know, year and a half since
  627. 38:45I've had this position.
  628. 38:46Can you tell us a story when you say personal observation?
  629. 38:48Well, I mean, it's public now because the Wall Street Journal got it and put it on the front
  630. 38:53page. But January year ago, almost exactly a year ago, I had been asked, I became a speaker
  631. 38:59in October 2023 and there were all sorts of big national security concerns and everything
  632. 39:04going on and I started requesting a meeting with the president because, you know, I'm
  633. 39:07kind of old school. I'm a constitutional law guy. The speaker of the house should be able
  634. 39:10to talk to the president, especially in times of great national interest and calamity. But
  635. 39:15they wouldn't let me meet with him and his staff kept getting an excuse. This went on
  636. 39:18for like eight or nine weeks. I'm sorry, I'm a speaker. He doesn't have time. What are
  637. 39:21talking about him second line of the presidency he has time I need to talk to him.
  638. 39:25We had, I can't say the class of ed parts but we had some big national concerns at the time
  639. 39:31that I was losing sleep over.
  640. 39:32Finally, I just went to the Hill Press Corner and said the president is not being allowed to
  641. 39:35meet with the speaker.
  642. 39:36There's a problem.
  643. 39:37So they started putting pressure on him.
  644. 39:39Long story short, they finally relented, they invited me to the White House, I show up and
  645. 39:42I realize it's actually an ambush because it's not just me and the president, it's also
  646. 39:47Kamala Harris, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem, you know, the whole
  647. 39:50the CIA director, everybody. And then so I walked in the
  648. 39:53over and I know what this is. This is a they're going to
  649. 39:56hotbox the speaker on Ukraine funding. That's what it was. This
  650. 39:59is probably third week of January.
  651. 40:02Now this conversation continued. He's talking to Barry Weiss of
  652. 40:05the free press during this interview. Listen to and watch
  653. 40:08clip number three, clip three, go.
  654. 40:11I'm we're in the midst of it in the cold conversation and I'm
  655. 40:14going, we don't need to have this conversation. The president
  656. 40:16reaches over just like this. We're sitting in the right next
  657. 40:18fireplace in the oval and he grabs my arm and he says, the speaker and I just need a couple
  658. 40:22of minutes together. Well, y'all just leave us alone and I looked up on the faces of some
  659. 40:26of the staff standing around the wall and they're like, oh no, he did it. So he called it. He's
  660. 40:30the commander in chief, so everybody leaves. He and I are standing awkwardly in the middle
  661. 40:32of the Oval Office right over the rug by that coffee table. And I said, Mr. President, thanks
  662. 40:37for the moments. You know, this is very important. I got some big national security things I need
  663. 40:41to talk to you about that I heard and I think you know and what do we do. But first, real
  664. 40:45quickly, Mr. President, can I ask you a question? I cannot answer this from my constituents in
  665. 40:50Louisiana. Sir, why did you pause LNG exports to Europe? Like, I don't understand, you know,
  666. 40:56liquefied natural gas is in great demand by our allies. Why would you do that? Because
  667. 40:59you understand, we just talked about Ukraine. You understand your fuel in Vladimir Putin's
  668. 41:03war machine because they got to get their gas from him, you know, and he looks at me,
  669. 41:08stunned with this, and he said, I didn't do that. And I said, Mr. President, yes, you
  670. 41:13did it was an executive order like you know three weeks ago and he goes, no I didn't do
  671. 41:16that and he's arguing with me. I said, Mr. President, respectfully can I go out here and ask your
  672. 41:21secretary to print it out, we'll read it together. You definitely did that and he goes, oh you talk
  673. 41:25about natural gas. Yes sir. He said, no no you misunderstand. He said, what I did is I signed
  674. 41:31this thing to, we're going to conduct a study on the effects of LNG. I said, no you're not
  675. 41:37sir, you paused it. I know I have the terminal, the export terminal is in my state. I talked
  676. 41:41for those people this morning,
  677. 41:42this is doing massive damage to our economy, national security.
  678. 41:46It occurred to me, Barry, he was not lying to me.
  679. 41:49He genuinely did not know what he had signed.
  680. 41:51And I walked out of that meeting with fear and loathing
  681. 41:53because I thought, we're in serious trouble.
  682. 41:56Who is running the country?
  683. 41:57Like, I don't know who put the paper in front of him,
  684. 41:58but he didn't know.
  685. 42:00Yeah, no clue that he had stopped the exportation
  686. 42:05of liquid natural gas, liquefied natural gas.
  687. 42:10And now you, we have evidence indicating that the auto pin was used and he didn't know.
  688. 42:20He has no clue who's using the auto pin.
  689. 42:24Guys, I'm telling you, this is, and I know the media is this interesting.
  690. 42:30They moved on other things, but I'm going to stay on this because to have the United
  691. 42:34States of America with a shadow presidency.
  692. 42:39And I know, you know, you can talk about conspiracies and things of that nature, but this is in front
  693. 42:43of the world. You think the man you saw in the June debate who couldn't complete a sentence
  694. 42:48within the first five minutes of the debate was actually making decisions concerning executive
  695. 42:54actions for the country in the White House? I don't think so. I don't think so. I'm going
  696. 43:03to move on a little bit here. And this was just, you know, this is just disappointing. And it's
  697. 43:10the goal to the point I was making earlier about training oneself for godliness. So Chippin
  698. 43:18Joanna Gaines that they became famous as a result of the HGTV series Fixer Upper from
  699. 43:252013 to 2018.
  700. 43:28Many of you remember the show and they had occasionally to discuss how they're Christians,
  701. 43:33you know, how their Christian faith guides what they do and they actually took some heat
  702. 43:39at one point for not having homosexual couples on Fixer Upper, you know.
  703. 43:45But some things happen, I remember, you know, when the whole target situation went down and
  704. 43:49it seemed like the games is amplified their business relationship with target.
  705. 43:57I remember thinking, huh, ain't that interesting?
  706. 44:02But the games is built, you know, their Magnolia company into a very successful brand, including
  707. 44:07the Magnolia market, a bakery, restaurant, real estate company, home decor lines, even
  708. 44:12the Magnolia television network, which is what they have now.
  709. 44:17Well, they are executive producers,
  710. 44:21if you would Jeff put the image on the screen
  711. 44:23for the people of a show that is coming out
  712. 44:27on their network on the Magnolia television network
  713. 44:32called Back to the Frontier.
  714. 44:33If you're watching the show, you'll see the add-on
  715. 44:36on the show Back to the Frontier,
  716. 44:38working with Max Original.
  717. 44:40And at the very top you see from executive producers,
  718. 44:43Chip and Joanna Gaines.
  719. 44:46The whole thrust of the show is that it places three families in 1881 like pioneer conditions
  720. 44:55with no electricity and no modern amenities, no toilet paper even for eight weeks to gain
  721. 45:02perspective on the pioneer Americans' lives.
  722. 45:09But there's one small problem, which is not a small problem, that it prominently features
  723. 45:17There's a homosexual couple, two men who were purporting to be married with two twin boys
  724. 45:22as their children.
  725. 45:26And the show apparently features this couple as a normal, loving family.
  726. 45:36And of course, many Christians came out, I didn't post anything, say anything publicly
  727. 45:42up until this point.
  728. 45:46many Christians have come out to say, what are y'all doing? I thought you guys were Christians.
  729. 45:52Why would you do this? And so far, the response from the Ganges and only public response has been from
  730. 46:03Chip Ganges, the husband, and he posted this on the artist formerly known as Twitter on X. Would
  731. 46:08you put the tweet up? See, the problem is not with him. You see, the problem is not with the decision
  732. 46:15that the gains have made the problem is with you Christians his post 533 in the morning yesterday
  733. 46:27quote talk ask questions listen maybe even learn too much to ask of modern american christian culture
  734. 46:35judge first understand later never later slash never it's a sad sunday when non-believers have
  735. 46:43have never been who have never been confronted with hate or vitriol until they are I'm sorry
  736. 46:47and we say that better. I'm really right. It's a sad Sunday when nonbelievers have never
  737. 46:51been confronted with hate or vitriol until they are introduced to a modern American Christian.
  738. 46:59Then he includes heartbreak emoji on his tweet. So the problem is not him and his wife featuring
  739. 47:11And I'm not trying to be insensitive here,
  740. 47:13but with the Bible called Sodomites
  741. 47:17and representing that as a normal American family,
  742. 47:22just like every other normal American family.
  743. 47:25That's not the problem.
  744. 47:26The problem is Christians who say
  745. 47:28that there's a problem with that.
  746. 47:29And here's,
  747. 47:32this is what I'm talking about,
  748. 47:33training oneself for godliness.
  749. 47:36A part of the problem that I have
  750. 47:40is that when you have a public representation
  751. 47:44Christianity that defies what the scripture teaches, it makes it harder for people like
  752. 47:51me to contend for the faith in a public square.
  753. 47:55What ends up happening is when the term Christian is used in an American context, it causes the
  754. 48:01people to whom or with whom the term is used to ask the next question, well what kind of
  755. 48:06Christian are you?
  756. 48:08Are you the type of Christian that says the Bible is the ultimate authority for all matters
  757. 48:14of life, doctrine and practice, or are you the type of Christian that would be quote unquote
  758. 48:19affirming?
  759. 48:20Would you be a gay affirming Christian?
  760. 48:23Would you be the type of Christian that you would be kind of like the United Methodist Church,
  761. 48:27that you would welcome homosexual clergy and marry homosexuals and allow homosexual clergy
  762. 48:31to lead the, what kind of church are you?
  763. 48:35What kind of Christian are you?
  764. 48:39And I'm just, I'm saying, wow.
  765. 48:42So on a show, your names are on the top of,
  766. 48:47and you are presenting this
  767. 48:49because the entire thrust of your brand
  768. 48:51is that it's family friendly and that,
  769. 48:55it's a family-centered presentation.
  770. 48:58And even in this show, that is focused
  771. 49:01on how families respond to pioneer conditions.
  772. 49:04You don't see a problem?
  773. 49:06We're presenting what the Bible says is abominable.
  774. 49:08What God has said is abominable.
  775. 49:10You don't have a problem presenting that as if it's normal.
  776. 49:13You want me to believe, you know, with your tweet
  777. 49:15when you say, you know, ask questions, maybe even learn.
  778. 49:18You know, judge first, understand never.
  779. 49:22So I'm supposed to just suspend what I know from the scripture.
  780. 49:26And I'm supposed to think that in the year of our Lord 2025
  781. 49:29that you are going to use your show to present the gospel
  782. 49:32on a network associated with HBO, man, please, man, please.
  783. 49:39It's people like this, and I'm not giving them personally,
  784. 49:42But it's this type of representation and presentation
  785. 49:45that has people going around and saying,
  786. 49:47ah, I see, Abe, you just a little bigot.
  787. 49:49You're a religious bigot.
  788. 49:51It's not bigotry, it's the love of God that compels me
  789. 49:55to tell someone who is endangering their souls
  790. 49:58with hellfire, that you are endangering your souls
  791. 50:02with hellfire.
  792. 50:03I would say the same to a heterosexual adulterous
  793. 50:06Christian, the same to a heterosexual fornicating
  794. 50:09Christian, the same to a thief, the same to a murderer,
  795. 50:12The same to the coverages.
  796. 50:17But we have got to get out of this mindset.
  797. 50:20That becoming squishy is gonna make us
  798. 50:23more palatable to the world.
  799. 50:26My question is, what is your chief objective, Chip?
  800. 50:30Godliness or profitability to your show.
