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.
524. 33:00AFA action takes attacks on the family seriously.
525. 33:03The enemies of the family constantly employ new tactics to try to sneak past our radar.
526. 33:09They know if we stand together their evil plans will fail.

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.
784. 50:29You guys have a wonderful evening.
