  1. 0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
  2. 0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
  3. 0:07This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
  4. 0:11It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
  5. 0:15Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
  6. 0:18And the philosophies of this world.
  7. 0:20God has called you and me to be His ambassador.
  8. 0:24Even in this dark moment.
  9. 0:26Let's not miss our moment.
  10. 0:29And now the Hamilton Corner.
  11. 0:33Good evening everyone. Welcome to the Hamilton Corner. My name is Abraham Hamilton. The third.
  12. 0:40I am the host of this program I'm joined by the corner contingent right across from me.
  13. 0:47My man a hundred grand Mr. Bobby.
  14. 0:52Rosar is in the building and in the screening room produced extraordinaire.
  15. 0:56here often imitate it never duplicated the real J Mac ladies and gentlemen I'm talking
  16. 1:01about Mr. Jeff McIntosh aiding us in providing the visual depictions for the program that
  17. 1:10allows you to watch it in addition to listening to it.
  18. 1:14No matter how you are tuning in today whether you are listening on the radio, you are podcast,
  19. 1:20listeners, listener, you are a television show, listener, shout out to NRB TV, you are a video
  20. 1:27podcast watcher.
  21. 1:29No matter how you've tuned in, we are grateful that you have done so.
  22. 1:33It is because of your faithful support of this program that we're able to bring it live and
  23. 1:38direct to you as we do at this very moment.
  24. 1:42Many of you, if not most of you, are making your transition from your part-time jobs where
  25. 1:46you generate an income to your full-time jobs where you cultivate an outcome.
  26. 1:50And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality, understanding the
  27. 1:55primacy that God places on family, welcoming that primacy to govern and guide your engagement
  28. 2:03in your families.
  29. 2:05This is why we say daily, what goes on in your house is far more important than what goes
  30. 2:11on in the White House.
  31. 2:13put the things happening in the White House are obviously critically,
  32. 2:16and vitally important, but they should not supplant your investment
  33. 2:23and commitment and the diligence you discharge in your homes.
  34. 2:30We will never outvote out politic, frankly, even outchurch deficiencies
  35. 2:37that abound in the home.
  36. 2:39the world works over time.
  37. 2:41The forces in the world work over time
  38. 2:44to get us to play significance and importance
  39. 2:46on everything else
  40. 2:48and neglect our own homes.
  41. 2:51And what happens when that transpires
  42. 2:54because the reality is discipleship is a constant.
  43. 2:57It will take place.
  44. 2:59The question is, who is doing the discipling?
  45. 3:03And in too many instances, what has transpired
  46. 3:07is that children born into Christian families
  47. 3:09these end up being frankly discipled by the world.
  48. 3:13Right under our noses and while under our roofs.
  49. 3:16And as Ken Ham put in this book already gone,
  50. 3:19what often transpires is that young ones abandoned the faith
  51. 3:22while they're still living under their parents' roofs.
  52. 3:24And there simply is a delay until they have
  53. 3:27the physical freedom and capacity to demonstrate
  54. 3:33what they really believe and what they have really believed.
  55. 3:36And it often looks like children have walked away
  56. 3:40from the faith after they get to things like college and things like that.
  57. 3:45But the truth is they're simply living out what is often been cultivated several years
  58. 3:50prior.
  59. 3:51And so my urge and instruction, not just instruction, but encouragement, I mean, is to refuse to allow
  60. 3:58that to happen as far as it has to do with us.
  61. 4:01Now I want to be clear, our investment is no guarantee on the result.
  62. 4:06What I'm talking about is our faithfulness.
  63. 4:09God requires of us what is foremost required of a servant is that he or she be found faithful.
  64. 4:16And that is what I am talking about because we endeavor to obey the Lord and we trust him
  65. 4:22with the results.
  66. 4:23Now, no matter where you may be, what life stage you may be and even what is going on
  67. 4:27in your home, the grace of God is sufficient and things are never over until God says so.
  68. 4:33But my encouragement through this program is that we would have an ascending quantity
  69. 4:39of believers who are battening down the hatches at home realizing, yeah, there are things that
  70. 4:44are important outside of our families. They're not more important than our families. And when
  71. 4:50you consider and this is something I've been pondering quite a bit lately, because I now
  72. 4:54have two teenagers in my house, two of the six Hamiltonians, little Hamiltonians, one third
  73. 5:00of the Hamiltonian offspring have entered the ranks of the teenagers. Can you believe that?
  74. 5:06And it's just a reminder to me that time is fleeting.
  75. 5:09Time is fleeting.
  76. 5:12The admonitions from Brother George Barna, worldviews are set very early.
  77. 5:18It's far easier to shape wet clay than to have to break a solid vase and start over.
  78. 5:24You know?
  79. 5:26It's far easier, as Frederick Douglass said, to raise strong boys and to repair broken men.
  80. 5:34What I'm simply saying is, let us work while it is day.
  81. 5:40the word of God we go. Second Timothy chapter three. Second Timothy chapter three. I mean,
  82. 5:44every time I read this, I feel like this is breaking news headline state of America. When I read this,
  83. 5:52I've shared numerous times. Second Timothy is written toward the latter part of the Apostle Paul's
  84. 5:57life shortly before his execution at the hands of Nero and the Roman Empire. But it says it's
  85. 6:06in 2 Timothy chapter 3, verses 1 through 5 says this, but realize this, then in the last
  86. 6:13days difficult or perilous times will come, for men will be lovers of self, lovers of pleasure,
  87. 6:23lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents,
  88. 6:33ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal,
  89. 6:50haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
  90. 7:00according to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power, avoid such men as these.
  91. 7:14Now every time I read this, it's always striking.
  92. 7:17The same thing happens in Romans 1 as the Apostle Paul is identifying some of these heinous
  93. 7:22categories of rebellion against God, heinous categories of sin.
  94. 7:27And right in the midst of it, he notes disobedient to parents, disobedient to parents.
  95. 7:37In our day, in our culture currently, it's sad to say this, but oftentimes people are surprised
  96. 7:44to find obedient children.
  97. 7:49This is a surprise because a two often experienced phenomenon is exactly what the scripture is
  98. 7:58saying here.
  99. 7:59Oh, adolescents, children,
  100. 8:03oh that's synonymous with disobedience.
  101. 8:07That's, that's, that's, that's not a matter.
  102. 8:11To which I simply say, and look,
  103. 8:12I'm not talking about the world
  104. 8:13cause y'all know what I say, the world is gonna world,
  105. 8:15but I'm talking about to the body of Christ.
  106. 8:17Why is that the expectation?
  107. 8:20We are a people who God is called to be peculiar,
  108. 8:23which means that the things that are normative
  109. 8:26amongst the family of God should contrast
  110. 8:32with what's prevalent in the world.
  111. 8:35The world has rebellious children, the church has rebellious children.
  112. 8:38Now listen, I know we, I'm a parent, so I know they're instances of transpire.
  113. 8:42I'm talking about generally with a consistency, you know?
  114. 8:51Have we become far too hospitable to evidence of spiritual decline?
  115. 8:59Because according to the scripture, this phenomenon of disobedience to parents is listed right
  116. 9:04along with some of these Hollywood sins.
  117. 9:10of these Hollywood sins, we wouldn't, we would not be viewed as tolerating.
  118. 9:15But why do we tolerate this one? And if you look at these, you know,
  119. 9:21boastful and arrogant, ungrateful, irreconcilable, and that was one, you know, as seemingly on a
  120. 9:32moment's notice, thanks to some wicked seminarians, you know, with the whole critical theory ideas
  121. 9:42So we're percolating all around the society
  122. 9:43and all of a sudden you have people, you know,
  123. 9:47refusing to be reconciled, you know.
  124. 9:50You don't understand the plight.
  125. 9:53You don't understand my plight.
  126. 9:54Well, can you help me understand?
  127. 9:55No, I can never help you understand it either.
  128. 9:57It's not my job to help you understand.
  129. 9:59It's like, what?
  130. 10:00You say I don't understand, but you do understand,
  131. 10:04but you refuse to help me to understand.
  132. 10:07Again, the world is gonna work
  133. 10:08but how does that work in the body of Christ?
  134. 10:09When we supposed to bear with one another in love,
  135. 10:11how do I do that supposed to work?
  136. 10:15And that's why I found myself off the repeating the phrase
  137. 10:17from Tertullian, what is Athens to do with Jerusalem?
  138. 10:20I don't need some pagan Marxist philosopher
  139. 10:24to aid me in navigating the scripture.
  140. 10:26The scripture commands me, love my neighbor as myself.
  141. 10:31The royal laws love my neighbor as myself,
  142. 10:33as James explained it.
  143. 10:35Quoting all the way back from Leviticus.
  144. 10:38I don't need some 20th century Marxists telling me
  145. 10:40how I supposed to use my Bible.
  146. 10:42And go sit down somewhere with that.
  147. 10:44But the scriptures indicate that this is indicative
  148. 10:47of these last days perilous times,
  149. 10:49that you have men who are irreconcilable.
  150. 10:51And the Greek term literally means there
  151. 10:53that there is an invitation and offering made
  152. 10:55for conciliation, yet it is refused with consistency
  153. 10:59and zealousness, a zeal with a consistent zeal
  154. 11:04to say, I will never be reconciled to you.
  155. 11:09That's not biblical, treacherous, haters of good.
  156. 11:14Think about that.
  157. 11:16Haters of good, good exists.
  158. 11:19And there's a despising of what is good.
  159. 11:25To sum up this, I would say that what the script is communicating is a palpable irrationality.
  160. 11:34It's like, man, this doesn't make any sense at all.
  161. 11:39And here's the thing, it doesn't make sense.
  162. 11:41You know why?
  163. 11:42Because at its root, it's spiritual.
  164. 11:45It's spiritual.
  165. 11:47It's the kind of irrationality.
  166. 11:48And we're going to get into some stories that indicate this to where it doesn't matter
  167. 11:53what the issue is in terms of what the facts are, what the truth is, what the objective assertions
  168. 11:58may be. No, all the matter. Oh, you said it. Oh, I know I'm against it. Oh, you ain't read. I'm
  169. 12:03wearing blue. Oh, you ain't blue. I'm wearing red. It don't matter what I don't get what I don't
  170. 12:10get what you have to say. You want to ask out of this, I'm on this out of the street. It is a palpable
  171. 12:15irrationality, a refusal to pause, consider, reflect, deliberate, and then may be offered.
  172. 12:29Oh, no, none of that. I joke with my wife all the time. I say, sometimes and some folks are just ready,
  173. 12:34shoot, aim, ready, shoot, aim. They're not aiming. Oh, no, they're just shooting everywhere.
  174. 12:43Look, one of the treacherous, reckless, reckless, reckless.
  175. 12:52But look at what the scripture says, hold into a form of godliness, they've denied his
  176. 13:00power.
  177. 13:02Avoid these kinds of people.
  178. 13:04That's what the scripture says.
  179. 13:08The word of God has a way, man, of cutting is a double-edged sword.
  180. 13:12It cuts going and coming.
  181. 13:14It cuts all across the board accurately and with precision.
  182. 13:22And as we read God's Word, and I often pray this for myself
  183. 13:25as I'm seeking the Lord and spending time
  184. 13:27with the Lord in my personal devotional times,
  185. 13:32as the Lord allow me to behold your glory in your Word.
  186. 13:35And as I read your Word, Lord,
  187. 13:37I welcome you to read me through your Word.
  188. 13:44As we submit ourselves to God's authority
  189. 13:46through His holy Word, man, it exposes the areas
  190. 13:48in our own lives where we have to make adjustments.
  191. 13:54And we are in a stage and in a place
  192. 13:58where this palpable irrationality has taken on
  193. 14:01outsized forms because it's caring with it,
  194. 14:07a scent and a hint of morality in this sense.
  195. 14:12It's not that it is moral,
  196. 14:14but you have people on both sides as often said,
  197. 14:16there's no longer about ours and deeds,
  198. 14:18this is about good versus evil.
  199. 14:19But we're living in a time period
  200. 14:21where people no longer understand what is good
  201. 14:22and what is evil, hence what the scripture says,
  202. 14:24you have people who are haters of good,
  203. 14:30which is why the body of Christ cannot afford
  204. 14:33to allow ourselves to be co-opted
  205. 14:35into anybody else's agenda,
  206. 14:37but that we live and function according to the Lord's agenda.
  207. 14:43I'm not looking for new marching orders.
  208. 14:45I have my marching orders.
  209. 14:47They come in the form of 66 books written across 1500 years
  210. 14:52with 40 different authors.
  211. 14:53It is the Holy Word of God.
  212. 15:00A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker,
  213. 15:03We live in a crazy, dangerous world
  214. 15:06that includes spiritual warfare raging everywhere you go.
  215. 15:10We who are followers of Christ need to be warrior minded
  216. 15:13in our approach to how we follow and live for Christ
  217. 15:16in this dangerous world.
  218. 15:18Not being alert, making unwise decisions,
  219. 15:20moving without a sense of urgency,
  220. 15:22any and all of these actions in wartime
  221. 15:25can literally cause someone to get killed.
  222. 15:28Psalm 91 is a unique weapon in scripture
  223. 15:31that addresses many of the perils in life.
  224. 15:34Are you making it a priority to pray Psalm 91 every single day?
  225. 15:39If not, why not?
  226. 15:41Well, I'm not a fanatic,
  227. 15:42and I don't see a need to pray this particular scripture
  228. 15:45every single day.
  229. 15:47Well, if that is you,
  230. 15:48I believe you'd be wise to change your mind
  231. 15:51and to begin to pray this prayer every day.
  232. 15:54No one or nothing can protect you like God can.
  233. 16:04Shiving light into the darkness,
  234. 16:07This is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
  235. 16:10Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton.
  236. 16:13The third here, I'll give you an example
  237. 16:16of this palpable irrationality.
  238. 16:20Monday, I believe I was on the show when I was explaining
  239. 16:24with all of this consternation and hand-ringing
  240. 16:26for how long, well, at least a week, maybe two weeks
  241. 16:30in the national line media, and they're talking
  242. 16:32about President Trump being a dictator
  243. 16:33because of his utilization of the Home Rule Act
  244. 16:37in Washington, D.C., which as I explained,
  245. 16:40is congressionally passed,
  246. 16:42which is a congressionally passed statute
  247. 16:44that gives the president the commander and chief
  248. 16:46the Lawful Authority to federalize local police officers
  249. 16:49solely in the D.C. metropolitan area,
  250. 16:53because the Washington District of Columbia
  251. 16:56is a locale unlike any other in the entirety
  252. 16:59of the United States of America,
  253. 17:01because it is the seat of the National Federal Capital.
  254. 17:07All right, I explained it
  255. 17:10that the authorities can only be utilized temporarily.
  256. 17:15Any efforts to extend such authority
  257. 17:17would have to be the product of a joint resolution
  258. 17:20between both the United States House of Representatives
  259. 17:23and the US Senate.
  260. 17:25But our lying sycophantic media is far more interested
  261. 17:29and whipping the populace into a frenzy,
  262. 17:36using the, we ain't gonna drive to sell newspapers
  263. 17:39or whatever, it's not obviously not
  264. 17:41the tangible newspapers, but to sell subscriptions.
  265. 17:44But they're not interested in having an informed populace.
  266. 17:49They're not.
  267. 17:50They are, generally speaking, propagandists.
  268. 17:54But what ends up happening with these propagandists,
  269. 17:57They don't even recognize when they're, when they're propaganda, propaganda is so
  270. 18:03overblown that they end up working against themselves.
  271. 18:06And so you had a, I had a moment where, you know, like the light bulb,
  272. 18:10you remember those school commercials with Wiley Coyote and the real runner,
  273. 18:13meet, meet, you know, and something would happen.
  274. 18:15And then you have a thought bubble with pop over Wiley Coyote's head.
  275. 18:18Finally after running into the sides and amounting over and over and over again,
  276. 18:22right?
  277. 18:23You, you, there was an example of this.
  278. 18:27recently on MSNBC because the popular refrain from people like
  279. 18:34Hakeem Jeffries and others is what Donald Trump is talking about
  280. 18:38because the the crime rate is going down the crime rate is going down
  281. 18:43it's going down you know it goes you got others
  282. 18:46others you know say others they see others as if you know as a v in that word
  283. 18:50others are saying things just not true but the one thing they don't
  284. 18:56factor into their calculus is oftentimes the murder rate is ascending. So it's not as if people
  285. 19:05are saying, you know, you know, things like jaywalking is on the rise and and other things of that nature.
  286. 19:12You're talking about people being murdered in some of these places. And the evidence is just
  287. 19:19is there for everybody who will be honest about it.
  288. 19:23And so in a moment of a salient moment of clarity,
  289. 19:30big new Brzezinski's daughter,
  290. 19:31and I'm gonna keep saying his name every time
  291. 19:33as I get because a lot of people wanna talk about Mika,
  292. 19:35but do you know who big new Brzezinski is?
  293. 19:39And is Azia at the beginning of his name,
  294. 19:42but Azia is silent in English pronunciation.
  295. 19:46That's Mika Brzezinski's dad,
  296. 19:48You know, a globalist who, you know, of the Henry Kissinger school of trilateralism.
  297. 19:58Oh boy, we can do a whole show on big New York.
  298. 20:00I keep saying I need to do it.
  299. 20:01I keep saying I'm going to do it.
  300. 20:04I need to do it.
  301. 20:05But in the moment of clarity, she had, you know, Chris Wallace on there like, wait a minute,
  302. 20:09wait a minute, wait a minute.
  303. 20:10Y'all can't keep saying talking about Democrat politicians.
  304. 20:13You can't keep saying violent crime is down while ignoring the fact that murder rates in
  305. 20:19these same locales are ascending.
  306. 20:22And then Wallace and Przyski were like, wait, stop, please, because you're falling for the
  307. 20:27Donald Trump trap.
  308. 20:28And it's like, it's not a trap.
  309. 20:30It's that these people are so sycophantic in their palpable irrationality.
  310. 20:37If Donald Trump says up, they say down.
  311. 20:38It doesn't even matter what is down.
  312. 20:42It's just whatever he says they want to say, the opposite.
  313. 20:46And so, big news daughter, in Crystal Wallace on TV saying, gosh, y'all have to stop doing
  314. 20:53this, because y'all telling people nothing is happening when they see it happen.
  315. 21:03And there's this little thing that if people are being murdered and increasing numbers,
  316. 21:07regular American citizens don't like murder.
  317. 21:11So they're going to tend to side with the person who is trying to stop murder.
  318. 21:16You see.
  319. 21:17And if you guys keep saying, oh, there's nobody being murdered.
  320. 21:20that seeing a family members dropping and body's hitting the ground and blood in the streets.
  321. 21:24If they're seeing it, they're not going to believe you.
  322. 21:31Let me give you an example what I'm talking about.
  323. 21:33Listen to and watch this exchange from Mika Brzezinski, Chris Wallace and the panel on MSNBC
  324. 21:39explaining this exact same thing that I'm talking about.
  325. 21:42What'd I say?
  326. 21:43Chris Wallace, I said, Chris Matthews, I'm sorry.
  327. 21:45Chris Matthews, not Wallace.
  328. 21:46Why am I saying Wallace?
  329. 21:48You know, he still maybe get, you know, Chris Matthews.
  330. 21:52doing watch this is clip number four clip four
  331. 21:55and the murder rate
  332. 21:57you can't keep saying violent crime is down with the murder rates up
  333. 22:01to the average person the murder of about life and death
  334. 22:04you don't brag about a rising murder rate
  335. 22:07and the democrats are
  336. 22:09i agree with you mica they're falling into the trap of defending what's
  337. 22:12indefensible it's a trap
  338. 22:14yes it's a trap i mean if it's not a winner politically
  339. 22:18uh... to say oh you're wrong look at the data
  340. 22:21because if one violent crime happens in a very heavily
  341. 22:27popular part of the city, people hear about it
  342. 22:29and it's visceral, they don't want it.
  343. 22:32And they'll gravitate to the person
  344. 22:35who appears to be doing something about it.
  345. 22:41So that, and I think, so it's just hilarious that
  346. 22:50hilarious that there's a
  347. 23:00while it's going down but murder rates are going up so the people like wait a
  348. 23:06minute and I got a great chuckle out of Chris Matthew saying you know to the
  349. 23:11average person murder is about life and death Chris pointed personal
  350. 23:18privilege Chris I have a question that I have a question for Chris is okay my
  351. 23:21I have a question, Chris.
  352. 23:23To what is there any type of person to where murder is not about life and death?
  353. 23:29Call.
  354. 23:30He's a to the average person and I think the point he's trying to make is in order to communicate
  355. 23:37to American to everyday citizens, but the facts are guys to every person who is a person.
  356. 23:43Murder is always about life and death.
  357. 23:45But it just shows how detached these folks are.
  358. 23:47when they feel like they have to interpret how regular people receive murder.
  359. 23:54And then the other thing that is just, and maybe I'm the one who's off on this, I don't
  360. 24:03think I am.
  361. 24:04I don't think it's prudent to talk about murder in terms of its political efficacy.
  362. 24:11You know what I mean?
  363. 24:12Politically it's a loser.
  364. 24:13Isn't that part of your problem?
  365. 24:17You have people that are concerned for their safety, but their family's safety.
  366. 24:21because you ain't come from a place where gunshots were heard with regular basis.
  367. 24:26You don't know what it feels like.
  368. 24:28You know what I mean?
  369. 24:29You don't know what it feels like having to live and walk down the street and your head
  370. 24:32has to be on a swivel and you just trying to, I don't know, go to school.
  371. 24:35Think, well politically it's a loser.
  372. 24:42You think politically it's the least stuff that concerns that should be.
  373. 24:47How about your concern for the people that are being gunned down in the places where they
  374. 24:52they're being gunned down and the fall up for their families and the actual terrorism domestically.
  375. 24:58I'm not talking about, you know, political terrorists. I'm talking about living in an environment
  376. 25:05where survival is a real time consideration. People like this, they don't, they never live
  377. 25:12like that. If the environment where I described it, it's like growing up in prison with no
  378. 25:20bars. What children don't smile because you don't want to be seen as soft. Because if
  379. 25:26you've seen this too soft,
  380. 25:27you're gonna have to have three or four fights
  381. 25:29on your way to the bus stop before you even get to school.
  382. 25:34But people are like, they don't understand this.
  383. 25:37And it's just, it's just amazing to me.
  384. 25:42And so, Brzezinski and Wallace,
  385. 25:44I'm sorry, Wallace, Chris Matthews are saying,
  386. 25:46you're calling for the trap.
  387. 25:47It's not a political trap.
  388. 25:51It's just about being human.
  389. 25:55People are being murdered in certain cities.
  390. 25:59People are being murdered in Washington, DC.
  391. 26:00And President Trump is saying, we need to stop this.
  392. 26:03How can this be our nation's capital?
  393. 26:07And we have people being mugged on their way to work
  394. 26:09with regularity.
  395. 26:13And that's what I'm talking about,
  396. 26:14the palpable irrationality.
  397. 26:16The knee-jerk reaction when President Trump is saying
  398. 26:18that it's violent crime in Washington DC,
  399. 26:20murderers on the uptick, and we need to stop it.
  400. 26:23Their visceral reaction is, no, oh, no, it's not.
  401. 26:29Based on what?
  402. 26:31No, no, oh, no, it didn't.
  403. 26:36People are getting no, they're not.
  404. 26:38How do you know, because they're not, you say they are,
  405. 26:42and I say they're not.
  406. 26:45It's just sad, man.
  407. 26:46It's the palpable irrationality I'm talking about.
  408. 26:48So instead of having compassion for the deceased
  409. 26:54and the families of the deceased,
  410. 26:56instead of having concern, expressing concern
  411. 26:59for the people who are living in these environments,
  412. 27:02that's the thing.
  413. 27:02Y'all talk about it on the news.
  414. 27:05They're folks that live in these neighborhoods.
  415. 27:08They have to walk these streets.
  416. 27:13But because it's so far from your reality,
  417. 27:15all you can do is talk about,
  418. 27:16well, it's politically not a winner.
  419. 27:22That's how you talk about it.
  420. 27:24So you have to, you know, Chris Matthews,
  421. 27:26thank you for the translation,
  422. 27:27to the average person,
  423. 27:28murder has to deal with life and death.
  424. 27:30Well, thank you, thank you, Chris.
  425. 27:31Thank you for that, for that,
  426. 27:34that amazing observation.
  427. 27:38Thank you, Chris.
  428. 27:39I mean, what a, what a, what a,
  429. 27:40what a student here, huh?
  430. 27:43This one, you're going somewhere, Chris.
  431. 27:44I'm telling you,
  432. 27:46to the average person,
  433. 27:47that's the deal with life and death.
  434. 27:51And the reason guys why I'm pointing this out
  435. 27:53is to show the insanity of it,
  436. 27:55but frankly to highlight how we as a society lose
  437. 27:58when this is what's happening.
  438. 28:00Can we for one moment just stop?
  439. 28:03Just stop with the political gang banging.
  440. 28:07Trump says up, you say down, he says right, you say left.
  441. 28:14Can we stop for a moment?
  442. 28:17There's real blood on the streets.
  443. 28:20Maybe I'm too sensitive to it,
  444. 28:22because I've been to a few too many funerals in my lifetime.
  445. 28:27That could be, but I don't think I'm overly sensitive to it
  446. 28:31to where it's unreasonable.
  447. 28:35This is just absurd.
  448. 28:40It's not a trap.
  449. 28:42President Trump insetting political traps.
  450. 28:46Yeah, this one, I'm really gonna get a AA,
  451. 28:49well, boy, yo, check this out.
  452. 28:50This is what I'm really gonna do.
  453. 28:51I'm gonna get him.
  454. 28:52I'm gonna figure out a way to get the Democrats
  455. 28:55to support murder.
  456. 28:56That's what I'm gonna do.
  457. 28:57That's not what he's doing.
  458. 29:00That's not what he's doing.
  459. 29:03But that's how they think about it
  460. 29:04because all they can think about is, you know,
  461. 29:08ours and these.
  462. 29:09And look, I'm not, I don't even wanna even open up
  463. 29:12this can of worms, but I'll just drop this in.
  464. 29:14Ain't these some of the same people?
  465. 29:16I don't know, I didn't say isn't or aren't.
  466. 29:19Ain't these some of the same people
  467. 29:20that were saying Donald Trump should have called
  468. 29:22to the National Guard on January 6th?
  469. 29:27Ain't these the same people?
  470. 29:28What did he call it as a national guard?
  471. 29:31And then what President Trump said,
  472. 29:32well actually I did, I told Nancy Pelosi she had to do so,
  473. 29:35and she goes, no, oh, that's what I'm saying.
  474. 29:38There's no logical or rhetorical consistency
  475. 29:42because these people are filled
  476. 29:43with palpable irrationality.
  477. 29:46These are some of the same folks that was,
  478. 29:49say you know the January 6th Commission,
  479. 29:51remember that?
  480. 29:52The bipartisan committee.
  481. 29:54Donald Trump should have called in the National Guard
  482. 29:56on January 6th.
  483. 29:58And these are some of the same folks
  484. 29:59goes, President Trump is saying, man, it's too much killing going on in DC.
  485. 30:02We're going to need to use federal authority to put a stop to this murder.
  486. 30:09Oh, tyrant.
  487. 30:12Y'all give what I'm like, don't you see that, that logical inconsistency?
  488. 30:18But it also becomes very confusing to their base.
  489. 30:21Yeah. Yeah.
  490. 30:22Bobby says it becomes very confusing to their base.
  491. 30:24Well, of course, because their base has no foundation.
  492. 30:27The foundation is whatever is opposite Trump.
  493. 30:30And whatever they need to get in power.
  494. 30:33And this is why the populace loses in this,
  495. 30:36because we have jettisoned the ranks of reason and rationality and concern for one's neighbor.
  496. 30:46The issue is never the issue is always an effort to procure power.
  497. 30:51So I wanted you guys to be aware of that, to see that
  498. 30:55even some of these folks are realizing maybe a couple of weeks too late
  499. 30:58after the media's going on and on and on, you've got all of these bobbleheads
  500. 31:01Democrat politicians talking about these things and they end up now they end up in
  501. 31:06a position where defending murder.
  502. 31:08They're having a lie about the data, the crime data.
  503. 31:12When they say violent crime is down, how are you defining violent crime?
  504. 31:17You know, and then in the footnotes and then the asterisks, they have to say, well, the
  505. 31:20murder rates though.
  506. 31:21I mean, come on, man.
  507. 31:23When you talk about violent crime, where do you think most people think murder fits into
  508. 31:27the conversation about violent crime?
  509. 31:28Do you think it's included or excluded?
  510. 31:30Is this insane?
  511. 31:32is this insane? Is this insane? All right, moving on. FBI Director
  512. 31:41Cas Patel released about another 266 pages of documents declassifying them.
  513. 31:52Turns out the scheme to leak classified data during President Trump's first term came right from
  514. 31:59the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence's ranking member.
  515. 32:03Mm hmm. That would be Adam Schiff. According to the declassified documents, the leaking of
  516. 32:15this information wasn't a one off individual enterprise. It was a product of systematic links
  517. 32:24that required the approval of one Adam Schiff. That when the leaked information,
  518. 32:31When the information that was to be leaked was decided upon,
  519. 32:35always looking to damage the Trump administration,
  520. 32:39Adam Schiff, according to the declassified documents,
  521. 32:43and Catherine Herridge broke this story,
  522. 32:45that Adam Schiff would decide who would be the best leaker
  523. 32:50for that particular piece of information. More on that when we come back from the break.

  525. 33:03The enemies of the family constantly employ new tactics to try to sneak past our radar.

  531. 33:31Children of course are given to parents by God, not to the state.
  532. 33:37Children don't belong to the state and we need to make sure that those lines are very
  533. 33:41clearly protected and increasingly secularized culture where the government has not only tried
  534. 33:49to make the church completely irrelevant but basically replace parents.

  536. 33:59Climate change is truth exchange.
  537. 34:03This is David Wheaton, host of the Christian worldview.
  538. 34:06When God created Adam and Eve, he gave them a dominion mandate
  539. 34:10to wisely rule the earth and worship God.
  540. 34:13Instead, man rebels against God and worships himself and the earth.
  541. 34:17This has led to all manner of foolishness with the environment.
  542. 34:21Cows and crops are bad, oil and gas are bad,
  543. 34:25and humans are especially bad because we cause climate change.
  544. 34:28Their failed predictions of doom and gloom prove their false prophets.
  545. 34:33Romans 1 says,
  546. 34:34They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator.
  547. 34:41Here are most recent programs on climate change with a Christian climatologist at theChristianWorldView.org
  548. 34:48and then tuning this weekend for another topic that will sharpen your worldview.
  549. 34:52Listen to the Christian worldview with David Wheaton,

  551. 35:04The Hamilton Quarter podcast and one-minute comment
  552. 35:07territories are available at AFR.net.
  553. 35:09Back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
  554. 35:14Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton,
  555. 35:17the third here.
  556. 35:18So I was talking about this declassified documents
  557. 35:22from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
  558. 35:26That shows that the tip of the spear, if you will,
  559. 35:29for the consistent leaks from,
  560. 35:33I'm sorry, leaks to damage the Trump White House
  561. 35:36during his first term,
  562. 35:39can't basically point to Adam Schiff,
  563. 35:42and according to the declassified documents,
  564. 35:47staffers on the House Permanent Select Committee
  565. 35:50on Intelligence documented Adam Schiff
  566. 35:53being specifically angered by President Trump's 2016 electoral victory because, according to
  567. 36:02the documents, she who shall never be president, he expected, Adam Schiff, that is expected,
  568. 36:08she who shall never be president, to nominate him to be the CIA director.
  569. 36:16Now just just say law on that for a moment
  570. 36:21lying Adam Schiff as CIA director
  571. 36:30Man when I talk about
  572. 36:33When I think about the goodness of God sparing us from she you should never be president
  573. 36:38Can you imagine the carnage that would have been fortunate born our nation if this dude was a CIA director?
  574. 36:44But this is where I'm also challenged
  575. 36:50because
  576. 36:52he's not CIA director
  577. 36:54but
  578. 36:57Californians rewarded him with a promotion because in 2016-2017 he was a member of the House of Representatives
  579. 37:05but now he's a United States Senator. This is one of the examples of why I say our greatest
  580. 37:17need in America is repentance, man. We have a poignant divergence in our nation. I mean
  581. 37:28whole notion of the moderate middle and that has almost evaporated, you know. The Democrat
  582. 37:37party purged from his ranks nearly a decade ago, the whole notion of the blue dog Democrat.
  583. 37:42Remember that the pro-life Democrat? Remember that? You still have vestiges and not even
  584. 37:50vestiges. You still have a whole slew of rhino Republicans. Yeah, I'm looking at you in Alaska.
  585. 37:58What's her name Lisa Murkowski and what's what's her bosom buddy?
  586. 38:03Pippin pop
  587. 38:05Susan Collins in Maine
  588. 38:07But but that's that's the top shelf
  589. 38:10Then you have somebody want to remind I want to tell me again
  590. 38:14And I know I raised this issue before but I'm gonna say it again
  591. 38:16Can somebody explain to me why you have a Republican majority in the Senate and you still have?
  592. 38:22Over a hundred Trump administration vacancies and his administration
  593. 38:27You somebody don't want to explain that to me?
  594. 38:30Why does this seem like Republicans seem over the moon eager
  595. 38:33to confirm all Democrat presidential nominees,
  596. 38:35but when you have a Republican president,
  597. 38:37Republican nominees can't be confirmed.
  598. 38:39How does that work?
  599. 38:42I know there have been a lot,
  600. 38:43but you still have pretty significant amount of vacancies.
  601. 38:47You don't want to tell me why
  602. 38:47Republicans have the majority that you have,
  603. 38:50the blue slip still governing judicial nominees?
  604. 38:53That's wild, man.
  605. 38:56It's just wild to consider.
  606. 39:00So that's happening.
  607. 39:01I'm gonna zoom out a little bit.
  608. 39:04Well, I guess let me just mention this.
  609. 39:06So the stage has been set for the Trump summit
  610. 39:13with Vladimir Putin Friday in Alaska.
  611. 39:19Ukrainian President Zelensky has said,
  612. 39:22quote, Ukrainians will not gift their land
  613. 39:25to the occupiers in quote, and that's in response
  614. 39:28to speculation that the Trump Putin meeting
  615. 39:33will require Ukrainian concessions land-wise in order to reach a ceasefire.
  616. 39:39Zelensky is saying, not going to do it, not going to do it.
  617. 39:42And then today, President Trump was speaking to leaders of the European Union, and he said
  618. 39:50to them that, quote, he would not negotiate territorial matters with Vladimir Putin.
  619. 40:00We will not talk to you Vladimir about territorial matters.
  620. 40:04take your rubles and your dirty oil and you try to sell.
  621. 40:11So President Trump say he not taught he's not going to discuss
  622. 40:13negotiate territorial matters with Vladimir Putin. So you have
  623. 40:19that that's supposed to take place on Friday. And then you have
  624. 40:23this little skirmish that we happen to have video of. So y'all
  625. 40:28might have heard about this, you know, this communist nation
  626. 40:31called Jaina Jaina. It came from China, waking up here came from China, came from China.
  627. 40:39Um, we the United States of America have a bilateral defense guideline with the nation
  628. 40:48of the Philippines. That guideline simply suggests that if Filipino forces come under
  629. 40:56attack, including in the South China Sea, then you may very well be barking up the wrong
  630. 41:06tree because America is going to respond thereafter.
  631. 41:10Well, on Monday, on Monday, in the South China Sea, there are significant portions of it that
  632. 41:16are contested in terms of to whom does this portion of the sea belong in terms of sovereignty.
  633. 41:24So you have disputes on international waters, well, unsurprisingly, as China has been kind
  634. 41:29of, you know, pounding the chest, you know, back in the hood, somebody, they talking noise
  635. 41:34about the fight, you see people that get chest to chest, you know, you bump.
  636. 41:37I'll just give you a little secret.
  637. 41:38You see dudes getting chest to chest, that means they're probably not going, they're not
  638. 41:41going to fight because you're going to fight normally they just start swinging.
  639. 41:45But you start chest bumping, you know, made that may not result in the squabble.
  640. 41:51said that China has become increasingly furtive. I'll see it that way. And wanting to say no,
  641. 41:57no, no, we own this portion of the sea. Nobody can float their boats in this part portion of
  642. 42:03the waters without our permission. Well, the Philippine Coast Guard had a small vessel in
  643. 42:12the South China Sea and a Chinese Coast Guard vessel, according to the Filipinos, chase them
  644. 42:22and high speeds in the South China Sea that led to two Chinese vessels crashing into one another
  645. 42:30in the South China Sea on Monday. Listen to and watch this clip. This indicates what happens Monday.
  646. 42:36And I'm saying this because something happened today following this incident Monday where two
  647. 42:43Chinese ships collided into one another as they were trying to basically run off a Filipino coast
  648. 42:49First Guard ship in the South China Sea. Listen to and watch clip number three clip number
  649. 42:53three go.
  650. 42:54Let's watch this video together and you will see this Chinese warship colliding with a Chinese
  651. 43:01Coast Guard ship. As you mentioned, they were chasing some boats from the Philippines. The
  652. 43:05Coast Guard ship, the Chinese Coast Guard ship was so damaged it took off part of its
  653. 43:11bow. And as you can see there, the water is very choppy at the time of this of this whole
  654. 43:19incident, three Chinese Coast Guard members were actually on the bow of the boat when the
  655. 43:25impact happened.
  656. 43:26I think you can see that in the video.
  657. 43:28This video I should point out was all captured by the Philippine Coast Guard.
  658. 43:33And according to an official from the Philippine Coast Guard, they were being chased at a high
  659. 43:40rate of speed when this happened.
  660. 43:44There were some pictures you saw a water cannon.
  661. 43:47the Philippines boat was also being targeted with a water cannon and avoided being hit.
  662. 43:51You see those images there now.
  663. 43:55Now I'm not I'm not in the Navy.
  664. 44:00I'm not a sailor.
  665. 44:02But um, did somebody on the Chinese boats have cold driving?
  666. 44:08Cold.
  667. 44:09You stupid because they're chasing the Filipino boat, right?
  668. 44:15and maybe this is raw, maybe because I'm yum, they got
  669. 44:20you know, you race cars, you just like,
  670. 44:22you know, you race cars, you just like,
  671. 44:24the two Chinese boats collided to one another,
  672. 44:27did the Filipino boat hit him with the pull in the chair
  673. 44:31from under him?
  674. 44:32They were going in and stopped and they left the two Chinese
  675. 44:34boats crashing to each other?
  676. 44:35They could have just kept going, right?
  677. 44:37Like, why do you, and look, they're filming this.
  678. 44:40And the two Chinese boats collided to one another.
  679. 44:42Well, that's set the stage to what happened today.
  680. 44:46Now that video that I played was from Monday.
  681. 44:48And as the video indicated that it came from the Filipino Coast Guard.
  682. 44:52Well, today the USS Higgins, which is a guided missile destroyer, entered the
  683. 45:01South China Sea Chat.
  684. 45:05And according to the report, tensions rose between the US and China because
  685. 45:11The Chinese People's Liberation Army accused the USS Higgins of entering its sovereign waters.
  686. 45:22To its the US Navy said, nah, that ain't Charles Waters.
  687. 45:27No, no, it's not Charles Waters.
  688. 45:29The USS Higgins, according to the US Navy, conducted a quote, freedom of navigation operation
  689. 45:42today.
  690. 45:45They conducted a freedom of navigation operation today to say, y'all are on these port part of
  691. 45:51the waters.
  692. 45:52We can roll over here as much as we want.
  693. 45:54Y'all can't do nothing about it.
  694. 45:58The USS Higgins and Commander Megan Green of the 7th Fleet said the USS Higgins conducted
  695. 46:05a freedom of navigation operation in accordance with international law and then continued on
  696. 46:10to conduct normal operation.
  697. 46:12The operation reflects our commitment to uphold the freedom of navigation and lawful uses of
  698. 46:16the sea as a principle.
  699. 46:19The United States is defending its right to fly, sail, and operate wherever international
  700. 46:26law allows as the USS Higgins did here."
  701. 46:31In other words, and look, I know you have to do political speech and they have to get
  702. 46:36their formal statements, but y'all know I translate all of this stuff right.
  703. 46:40So see what happened was the Filipinos were in the South China Sea,
  704. 46:44minding their business, thinking they cool.
  705. 46:45They know they rolling around and they know $3 trillion worth of money,
  706. 46:48worth the goods and merchandise flows to the South China Sea.
  707. 46:51They want to just make sure everything cool, everything's copistetic.
  708. 46:54The Chinese are feeling froggy.
  709. 46:56They're like, nah, we gon look here, son.
  710. 46:58We run everything in this region.
  711. 47:01Y'all can't come in these waters that y'all check with Debo first.
  712. 47:04And so they tried to basically run off the Filipinos.
  713. 47:08the Filipino say, oh, oh, y'all, you gonna try to park at me?
  714. 47:12Let me call my homeboy.
  715. 47:13Hey, yo.
  716. 47:14You asked those Higgins with the guided missile destroyer.
  717. 47:19They're trying to say we can't have it.
  718. 47:21We can't be in these waters to which commander green say,
  719. 47:25oh, word, that was they say, hola, let me put my shoes on.
  720. 47:31Let me put my shoes on.
  721. 47:32I'll be over there.
  722. 47:33I'll be right over there in a minute.
  723. 47:35I'll be right over there in a minute.
  724. 47:36So the USS Higgins says, well, I want to stroll around.
  725. 47:39This is a, what does it call it?
  726. 47:41A freedom of navigation operation, a final FONOP,
  727. 47:45FONOP, freedom of navigation operation.
  728. 47:49I just wanna make sure that y'all know that I know,
  729. 47:50that y'all know that I know,
  730. 47:52that I know that y'all know that I know,
  731. 47:53that we can be right over here as much as we wanna be.
  732. 47:56Now you try to run the Filipino boat off,
  733. 47:58I dare you to try to do it to me, I dare you, I dare you.
  734. 48:01Now why they're doing all of this?
  735. 48:03Listen, I'm not a sailor, I'm not in the military,
  736. 48:08but I'm gonna tell you what Commander Green said,
  737. 48:11This is a freedom of navigation operation.
  738. 48:15Simply put, the US is letting China know
  739. 48:17that wherever y'all show up,
  740. 48:19we want you to know that we're not gonna back away from you
  741. 48:21because you have all the saber-addling,
  742. 48:22concerning Taiwan.
  743. 48:24This is also why, and I said this,
  744. 48:25when you had the B2 bomber mission
  745. 48:28to take out the nuclear facilities in Iran,
  746. 48:31don't think it was a coincidence
  747. 48:32that you had several of those bombers
  748. 48:34that flew out west towards Guam.
  749. 48:36You see, that was the US's ability,
  750. 48:39In the US's way of telling China, I see you too.
  751. 48:45Yeah, yeah, I'm B2 busting, bunker busting over here in Iran, but don't think I got my
  752. 48:50eyes off of you.
  753. 48:51I see you too.
  754. 48:53It might even took out the Miss Sealy fingers from color purple.
  755. 48:57Everything you done to me.
  756. 48:59Already done nothing you do, Gomp, Rossper.
  757. 49:04That's what this seems to be about.
  758. 49:06Now nothing else happened.
  759. 49:07Nothing kinetic transpired.
  760. 49:08There were no more bumper boats today.
  761. 49:11And I do find it interesting that, and this is in great contrast to Mr.
  762. 49:17Robert Ets administration, that the U.S. under President Trump and with Pete
  763. 49:20Hagg Seth as a defense secretary, that I'll just say it this way, the posture has
  764. 49:27changed concerning China.
  765. 49:30There's a little bit more willingness to let the Chinese know that we are not
  766. 49:36going to be bullied by you, and we are not going to allow you to bully others.
  767. 49:42It's an interesting phenomenon and just having that video
  768. 49:46is not something you see every day,
  769. 49:48where you see ships colliding on the high seas.
  770. 49:52So this is something that I wanted to present to you
  771. 49:55and I want to certainly keep an eye on.
  772. 49:57I don't expect the Chinese to escalate this at all,
  773. 50:01but it is something that is interesting
  774. 50:03to keep watch on.
  775. 50:05That even on the high seas,
  776. 50:07you have this kind of standoff happening
  777. 50:11where the Chinese are trying to assert themselves
  778. 50:13saying a little bit more of this territory is ours.
  779. 50:16And the US is saying, no, this is international waterways.
  780. 50:18We have just as much of a right to be here as anybody else.
  781. 50:21Thank you for tuning in to the Hamilton Corner.
  782. 50:23Lord willing, we'll be back tomorrow, live and direct
  783. 50:27on American Family Radio.
