11. 0:33Good evening, everybody.
12. 0:34Welcome to The Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio.
13. 0:37I'm your host, Abraham Hamilton, the third joined by the corner.
14. 0:42Contingent right across from me, my man, 100 grand Mr. Bobby,
15. 0:46R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-Rosa.
16. 0:48And then the screening room, producers, Treud Nair, often
17. 0:51imitated and ever duplicated the real J.
18. 0:54Mac ladies and gentlemen, and we are ready to rock and roll
19. 0:58with today's edition of the program at this very moment,
20. 1:02many of you, if not most of you,
21. 1:03are making your transition from your part-time jobs,
22. 1:07where you generate an income to your full-time jobs,
23. 1:11where you cultivate an outcome.
24. 1:12And as you do so, I want to remind you
25. 1:16to do so with intentionality,
26. 1:19understanding the primacy that God places on family,
27. 1:22recognizing that of the human institutions
28. 1:25that God established,
29. 1:27those institutions being civil government,
30. 1:30Romans 13 bears that out, that it is established by God,
31. 1:34the New Testament church, the household, the faith,
32. 1:37the family of God, also obviously established by God.
33. 1:41And the first of these institutions was the family
34. 1:45with marriage at the center.
35. 1:48It is vitally, vitally important that we recognize that
36. 1:53and order our lives accordingly.
37. 1:56we will never be able to out politic, to out vote,
38. 2:03even to out church deficiencies that abound in the home.
39. 2:05I had a question one time,
40. 2:07presented to me from a pastor at a conference,
41. 2:12and he was asking me about education,
42. 2:15and I just simply came down to it,
43. 2:18I said the majority of the circumstances,
44. 2:22and the overwhelming majority of parents,
45. 2:25almost all parents, it's a rarity when parents
46. 2:27don't love or care for the children, but we live in a system where things operate a certain
47. 2:31way. And if we don't examine what we do in light of Romans 12, then we could find ourselves
48. 2:37working against ourselves. And so the pastor was asking me about whether or not I thought
49. 2:41it was important to address the necessity of disciplining the children from the home from
50. 2:45the pulpit. And I say, yeah, very simply. I said, where do you, in your upbringing, where
51. 2:49did you learn most of the things that were counterproductive? I'll say it that way in your
52. 2:54life. You know, did you learn it at home? And, you know, he said, no, similar to me. I didn't,
53. 2:58my parents weren't teaching me the insanity that, that peanut and pluck and nutty were teaching.
54. 3:05That's what a lot of cicandery came from. I said, and sometimes if we're not willing to
55. 3:10be, you know, to stand firmly on what God teaches, we can find ourselves working against ourselves.
56. 3:18Oftentimes, especially when we were talking about endeavoring to disciple young people,
57. 3:22find ourselves trying to work out of them, things that they've learned in the places where
58. 3:28we send them and tell them to learn. Of course, we're not telling them to learn anti-social
59. 3:33and regressive behaviors, but the Scriptures are true. Those who walk with the wise shall
60. 3:38become wise, the companion of fools shall be destroyed. A lot of the things we're trying
61. 3:44to unlearn is to buy a product of people being discipled well, especially children being
62. 3:50disciple one of the places where the adults send them and tell them to go.
63. 3:53How long? And I know it's a phrase, a statement that that Vodie
64. 3:59Bockham coined, how can we continue to send our children to Caesar for
65. 4:05discipleship, yet whack surprise when they come home as Romans. It's so well put.
66. 4:13It's so well put. The deficiencies that are bound in our nations, they don't start
67. 4:19in the streets, they start at home either by affirmative presentation or
68. 4:23often by negligence. As you've heard me say darkness is not an affirmative force, but it
69. 4:28reoccupies the space that is vacated by the light. You talk to any gang bangers, what do most gang
70. 4:35bangers say? Man, the gang is my what? My family. People often look to gangs to get what they don't get
71. 4:45at home. I can go on and on and on and on with this. But at some point we have to realize the word
72. 4:51God is not only true, it's comprehensively true. To the word of God we go, Galatians chapter 1,
73. 4:59Paul's Epistle to the Church at Galatia. The background here, this is an earlier Epistle
74. 5:07from the Apostle Paul about the late 40s AD, all right? And the Apostle Paul addressed the
75. 5:16believers in Galatia following a circuit, if you will, by Judaizers. But I'm going to focus on one
76. 5:26aspect of the introductory portion of this epistle today.
77. 5:30In Galatians 1 verses 10 through 17 is where I'm going to go.
78. 5:36And I pray that the wisdom of God's word will strengthen us all today.
79. 5:43This is what the Lord's word says.
80. 5:45It says, for I am I now, this is Paul writing, for am I now seeking the favor of men or of God?
81. 5:53Or am I striving to please men?
82. 5:55If I was still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
83. 6:01For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.
84. 6:07For I neither received it from man nor was I taught it, but I received it through revelation of Jesus Christ.
85. 6:14For you have heard of my former manner of life in Judaism, how I used to persecute the Church of God beyond measure,
86. 6:20and I tried to destroy it.
87. 6:22And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries
88. 6:26among my countrymen,
89. 6:28being more extremely zealous for my ancestral traditions,
90. 6:32or the traditions of my father.
91. 6:37But when God who had set me apart even from my mother's womb
92. 6:40and called me through His grace
93. 6:42was pleased to reveal His Son in me
94. 6:44so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles,
95. 6:46I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood,
96. 6:49nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles
97. 6:52before me, but I went away to Arabia and returned once more to Damascus.
98. 6:59Now, what am I pointing out here?
99. 7:06The Apostle Paul is sharing here how his commitment to Christ does not afford him to be a man pleaser.
100. 7:16Another portion of the scripture of the order of God says the fear of man brings a snare.
101. 7:20In this portion of his epistle to the Galatians, Paul is explaining, is my apostolic commitment
102. 7:25to proclaim in the gospel and being an immissary for Christ all across the modern, the existing
103. 7:30world at the time, is that because I'm trying to seek the favor of men?
104. 7:36Or am I doing this because God has convicted me, has called me, consecrated and sent me?
105. 7:43Am I doing this for men or am I doing this for God?
106. 7:47And then Paul's just started laying out, look, this is the eighth version.
107. 7:51Paul said, man, look, keep it above.
108. 7:54my resume. Check my resume. If I was still trying to please men, I wouldn't have went
109. 8:01against my ancestral traditions. I would have you to know, brethren, what I am proclaiming
110. 8:08to you is revelation of God. If I was trying to please men, I would not have abandoned my
111. 8:13ancestral traditions. I would have gone against what I was taught as a rabbinical Pharisee.
112. 8:22I would have, if I'm man pleasing, I never would have made an adjustment from that.
113. 8:28Then conversely, on the other side, now that I'm a Christ follower, and I'd like to remind
114. 8:33people that the Apostle Paul continued to be a Pharisee.
115. 8:38He never rescinded his, the fact that he was a Pharisee.
116. 8:44He was a messianic Jewish believer in Yeshua.
117. 8:53How much he?
118. 8:54The Messiah.
119. 8:56He says, then, and when I became a Christ follower, when I became a Christ follower, and the Lord
120. 9:03helped me to see that I'm to preach this gospel to the Gentiles, I didn't then consult with
121. 9:07flesh and blood.
122. 9:08That's in verse 16.
123. 9:10Verse 17, he says, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, because
124. 9:15the fulcrum of Christianity when Paul became a Christ follower was Jerusalem.
125. 9:19Paul said, I didn't go to seek an audience with them either, but I went away to Arabia
126. 9:23and returned once more to Damascus.
127. 9:25If you may recall that it was Barnabas who ended up having to appeal to believe it to say listen Paul is not the old
128. 9:32He's not the old Rabbi shawl who was attempting to as he says destroy the church. He's been converted
129. 9:40But the point that Paul is making in this portion of his epistle is that man as a Christ follow I'm not trying to please men
130. 9:48in this this appeal had particular
131. 9:51residents with the Gentile believers in Galatia, because what was happening is that they were
132. 9:57being tempted to perform works of the Jewish law to prove to other Jews that they were accepted
133. 10:06and approved by God, almost to earn their justification.
134. 10:14So the context, the context of this passage gives us clarity as to what Paul is saying
135. 10:24that listen, man-pleasing and Christ-following are mutually exclusive.
136. 10:30We have enjoyed and we continue to enjoy it to date in the United States of America an aberration
137. 10:37in the history of the Lord's Church, relatively speaking.
138. 10:43Prior to the acts of toleration and things under Constantine, the Church has always persecuted.
139. 10:50You had an abatement of that persecution as it kind of conflated, became conflated with
140. 10:57Roman imperialism, but as the church kind of re-established its footing as being counter-cultural,
141. 11:05the persecution will continue.
142. 11:06And as I'm talking to you right now, Christ following is being persecuted physically and
143. 11:10overtly in other parts of the world.
144. 11:14But we, we, we, I never forget, Elder A, he's a single song in the church that I grew up
145. 11:19in.
146. 11:20Who's report do you believe?
147. 11:21Who's report do you believe that we have to mature to the place as Christ followers,
148. 11:27to where our commitment to the King of Kings
149. 11:29and the Lord of Lords and our willingness to stand in truth
150. 11:33and therefore stand for truth,
151. 11:36it moves beyond the fickle notions of,
152. 11:39well, what did the people think around me?
153. 11:44We cannot be man pleasers
154. 11:46and serve the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
155. 11:48As Paul said, if I am seeking the favor of men,
156. 11:52oh no, verse 10, for am I now seeking the favor of men
157. 11:55or of God or am I striving to please men?
158. 12:00If I was still trying to please men, I would not be a boss or a bit of Christ.
159. 12:05Because Christ's following is the way of the narrow road.
160. 12:10Christ's following is not the way of the broad road.
161. 12:13That's why the phenomenon of so-called broad road believers is a conundrum.
162. 12:18The scripture says, you should be careful when all men speak well of you.
163. 12:28And the additional consideration is that we don't seek to merely be opposite for the sake
164. 12:33of being opposite.
165. 12:34But we're clinging to truth.
166. 12:37that word have I hit in my heart, oh Lord,
167. 12:39that I might not sin against you.
168. 12:40Where wherein may a young man keep his way pure
169. 12:44by taking heed according to your word,
170. 12:46we're not trying to just be out of context.
171. 12:49I mean, just opposite and to be antagonist
172. 12:52and just opposing so the sake of being opposing,
173. 12:55man, we have been captured.
174. 12:57We've been captured.
175. 13:01And as a result of that,
176. 13:03we don't bend based on how the tide turns.
177. 13:06holiness is still right, modesty is still right,
178. 13:12because God is still right.
179. 13:16I'm not endeavoring to cling to the truth of God's word
180. 13:19because I'm hankering for the good old days.
181. 13:21No, actually, I'm hankering for what my future holds for me.
182. 13:25Actually, I yearn to be in the tangible,
183. 13:28fully revealed presence of my Lord.
184. 13:30And in the meantime, until that appointed time
185. 13:33is made available to me, I'm endeavoring to occupy
186. 13:36until he returns, to be so enlightened until he returns,
187. 13:39because he has commanded me to do so.
188. 13:42But I'm not hankering for some good old days.
189. 13:44It happens, it just so happens to be true
190. 13:47that if we live according to what God instructs us, life
191. 13:52and circumstances are better.
192. 13:54Look, this is not rocket surgery.
193. 13:56I don't have to study 50 different sociological theses
194. 14:00to know that the best environment for a child
195. 14:03to be reared, nurtured, and trained,
196. 14:05and prepared for life is in an environment
197. 14:07where a father and mother who are married to each other
198. 14:10rear that child together.
199. 14:13I don't have to be a sociologist to know that.
200. 14:16Just like I don't have to be a biologist
201. 14:18to know what a woman is.
202. 14:24We cannot be Christ followers
203. 14:26and man pleasers at the same time.
204. 14:28We don't seek to be obtuse.
205. 14:30We don't seek to just be, you know,
206. 14:33antagonistic for the sake of being antagonistic.
207. 14:39But I'll tell you and I'll say this often,
208. 14:41I ain't looking for a fight,
209. 14:43but I ain't backing down from none either.
210. 14:47And I'm not talking about a fleshly humanistic fight,
211. 14:49But if you take aim at the truth of God's word,
212. 14:52I am duty bound to stand.
213. 15:01A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
214. 15:04My encouragement and challenge to every single listener
215. 15:08is that you pray and ask the Lord the question,
216. 15:10Lord, what do you want me to do?
217. 15:13You know, that's the prayer that Paul prayed right after he
218. 15:16received Christ and put his faith in the Lord
219. 15:18on the road to Damascus.
220. 15:19He asked the question, Lord, what do you want me to do?
221. 15:23And as it relates to following and serving the Lord,
222. 15:25That's a wise question to pray actually every single day.
223. 15:28It's a good prayer and a question to ask the Lord every day.
224. 15:31Lord, what do you want me to do?
225. 15:34And as it relates to being involved
226. 15:36in this important cause of standing for life
227. 15:39and standing against the tragedy of abortion,
228. 15:42the question and prayer is a wise one to pray,
229. 15:44Lord, what do you want me to do?
230. 15:46There are many that God would have them
231. 15:47to become faithful intercessors who pray every day.
232. 15:51Lots of spiritual warfare happens
233. 15:53around every pregnancy clinic and lots of spiritual warfare happens around abortion clinics as well.
234. 15:58Shining light into the darkness, this is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
235. 16:11Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here. Popular, I should say it this way,
236. 16:22best-selling author. Let me give you all of his his things, best-selling author of eight books,
237. 16:30journalists from Canada public speaker, host of the podcast titled Revisionist
238. 16:39History, or that's rich, and recipient of the appointment to the order of Canada,
239. 16:53which is I had to look this up, the second highest honor for merit in the
240. 16:57system of orders, decorations, and medals in Canada because he's Canadian nationality.
241. 17:07None of them Malcolm Gladwell. I should have mentioned he's also a columnist for the New York,
242. 17:12the New Yorker, the New Yorker. That's one of those Polish publications, the New Yorker.
243. 17:20Well, he went on a record recently and in this, you want to talk about not being a man, please.
244. 17:26Malcolm Gladwell, who I'm calling uneffectively Malcolm Sadwell, is 62 years old, 62 years old.
245. 17:35And I'll tell you why I'm calling him Malcolm Sadwell, is one of the blessings when I first did an internship in ministry at my home church,
246. 17:45and one of my pastor assigned me to the elderly. I've explained this before, and the Lord has given me a love in my heart for more seasoned saints.
247. 17:55And I think that, I don't think I know, I think I know modern civilization and even in
248. 18:02many ways that the modern church in our country has an inappropriate disdain for seasoned saints.
249. 18:09It is God's desire for his kingdom and his body in particular to be comprised of a multi-generational
250. 18:18array of Christ followers to where there's reciprocal benefit from the younger believers
251. 18:23relationship with the older believers and older believers and
252. 18:25relationships with the younger believers. That is God's desire.
253. 18:28And so I have a great appreciation for season saints and being able to
254. 18:34seek wisdom from my elder brothers on various issues as they've seen
255. 18:39lots of things I often reflect on polycarbon statement when he was
256. 18:45being called upon to renounce Christ in favor of worshiping Caesar.
257. 18:49And they were like, no, no worry. We don't want you to just abandon
258. 18:51Jesus, we just want you to worship Caesar as God along with your God.
259. 18:55So we don't have any problem with polytheistic orientations in the Roman
260. 19:01panoply and poly carp responded according to church history.
261. 19:05I have been young and now I'm old and Christ has done nothing to offend me.
262. 19:10How then can I offend him at this late stage of my life?
263. 19:14Oh, man, that just that moves me every time I read it.
264. 19:20So now you have the 62 year old man.
265. 19:24And I'll just let you hear for yourself, here for yourself what he said, but he is a celebrated
266. 19:31figure within the halls of regressiveism in western civilization.
267. 19:38I mean, this is a person who many of these regressives view as an ideological and intellectual
268. 19:44highmark.
269. 19:45They listen to this fool.
270. 19:47And I don't mean fool as an insult.
271. 19:49I mean it in the biblical sense.
272. 19:51A lot of people listen to this fool.
273. 19:54So he was on a podcast recently where he had to admit publicly.
274. 20:03He's like, yeah, in 2022, I was on this panel at this conference.
275. 20:09It was called the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference in the topic as to whether or not
276. 20:16boys and men should be allowed to participate in women's sports.
277. 20:21And y'all know the drill, how they call it.
278. 20:23Well, trans women should be allowed to participate with women.
279. 20:26It's like, man, just keep it real.
280. 20:28I mean, you talking about men, you talking about dudes.
281. 20:30He talking about Will Thomas, man, stop the presses.
282. 20:33Joanna Mann was a movie that was supposed to be a fictional story.
283. 20:35Now y'all done made it real life.
284. 20:40This is absurd.
285. 20:41This is absurd on its face.
286. 20:45Yet in 2022, Malcolm Gladwell, you know, he got, he daunt his official sounding voice
287. 20:53and yes, and wax eloquent and
288. 20:57decrying all of the bigots and all of these things.
289. 21:02And now, oh, and I left out the best part.
290. 21:07He said, you know, well, he was being dishonest.
291. 21:11You see in 2022, he knew that wasn't he didn't believe that.
292. 21:14But you know, he went along with it.
293. 21:16He said he was cowed.
294. 21:18He was cowed, you know, that's a great poop on pinky extended
295. 21:22conno way to say he got poked.
296. 21:23He was scared to say, you know, and I don't believe that boy should be allowed to participate
297. 21:29in girls for it.
298. 21:30And I don't believe men should be able to participate in women's boys.
299. 21:32He wouldn't say it.
300. 21:33Why?
301. 21:34Well, he said he was cowed.
302. 21:37I'll let you hear for himself, hear for yourself what he said.
303. 21:40Then I'm going to come back to it.
304. 21:42This is Malcolm Gladwell, where I'm calling Malcolm Sadwell, explaining that he's disappointed
305. 21:49in himself because he was dishonest in 2022.
306. 21:51Listen to him watch clip number four, clip four, go.
307. 21:54There's many interesting things to say about that conversation. One was that it was a particular moment, which has passed.
308. 22:00If we did a replay of that exact panel at the Sloan Conference this coming March, it runs in exactly the opposite direction.
309. 22:10And it would be, I suspect, near unanimity in the room that trans athletes have no place in the female category.
310. 22:20I don't think there's any question. I just think it was a strange. I mean, I was the reason
311. 22:28I'm ashamed of my performance of that panel because I share your position a hundred percent
312. 22:34and I was count. The idea of saying anything on this issue, I believe in retrospect in a
313. 22:43dishonest way. I was objective in a dishonest way. I let a lot of really, of howlers pass.
314. 22:50I was objective in this. I was I was I was objecting in the dishonest way. I was
315. 22:59cowed. Now look if you're watching the show those who are listening you can't see
316. 23:03the video but if you're watching the show over his right shoulder are left on
317. 23:06your left. He has a picture of Miles the tongue.
318. 23:11Mao Chairman Mao from the Chinese Communist Revolution over his right
319. 23:17shoulder as he's yes I was I was dishonest. I was dishonest in my opinion
320. 23:22And if you have the exact same panel today, it would be the, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a complete
321. 23:28opposite direction.
322. 23:29All right.
323. 23:30Y'all ready for the translation of this?
324. 23:34Um, Cole.
325. 23:35Yeah.
326. 23:36You stupid.
327. 23:37Mm hmm.
328. 23:38Yeah.
329. 23:39Show a little, not only stupid, you're a coward.
330. 23:44You're a simple coward.
331. 23:45You see, Mr. Malcolm said, well, was unwilling to say what he really believed.
332. 23:50That is I mean because one one of the things that happens when you lie
333. 23:53The question has to be asked what are you where you lying then or you lying now because you tell them you were lying then
334. 24:01But here's the rub you say you were cowed then because in your circles that you did the brilliant ocean is
335. 24:08You know you had to have this opinion to walk the line
336. 24:11But then in his comments now
337. 24:13he says
338. 24:16If I was at the same panel I suspect
339. 24:19my comments would run exactly in the opposite direction and it would be near
340. 24:26unanimity in the room that trans athletes have no place in the female category I
341. 24:31don't think there's any question so now you're saying now that you recognize there
342. 24:35be unanimity in which you would say now that's what you say now so because the
343. 24:41crowd would agree with you if you say that no boys and men don't belong in
344. 24:45women and girls sports and because that would be the embrace view now you'll be
345. 24:49willing to say that now publicly, you know, because that would be the unanimous position
346. 24:52in the room at the conference.
347. 24:54Man, come on, man.
348. 24:56Come on, man.
349. 24:58And this is, you know, you want to talk about man-pleasing.
350. 25:03So this dude basically saying, you know, my opinion is up for sale to, you know, to whatever
351. 25:08the most popular notion is at the time.
352. 25:10That's what it, he may not intend to say that, but that is in effect what he's saying.
353. 25:14I don't even think he recognizes that he's saying that now the perspective I'm offering
354. 25:19now objecting to so called trans women biological males oxymoron males now he's saying his opinion
355. 25:28would be embraced if he's so would he really really believe guys when you just tell the truth
356. 25:34you don't have to figure out you know let me see which which way is the wind blowing which
357. 25:39opinion will I have today let's see because basically what he's saying is he wasn't willing
358. 25:44to lose his gig at the New Yorker you know he wasn't willing to risk his social currency
359. 25:50This is this is why what's the what's the lady who authored Harry Potter?
360. 25:55We got her name in England.
361. 25:58Um, you're looking it up for me.
362. 25:59She's been she's been willing and she's not a believer, but she's saying, listen,
363. 26:03women are women men can't wake up one day and determine that they're women.
364. 26:07And she's been basically, you know, kick.
365. 26:11That's right.
366. 26:11JK Rowling is her name.
367. 26:12She's basically been excluded from the cool kids table because of her.
368. 26:17Willing is to say that.
369. 26:18And this is why a continued encourage the believer man you have to draw your line in the sand
370. 26:24The scripture says to train the one self-forgoddliness
371. 26:27This dude is so lame to me Malcolm glad glad wells Malcolm sad well cuz this is the thing you ain't 22 years old cheat you
372. 26:3362 years old
373. 26:3662 years old saying oh I was code
374. 26:38You already got all the money in the world at least all the money that you need and you're in your 60s at that time
375. 26:46That's okay 59 58 talking about you are cowed
376. 26:50for simply stating biological fate.
377. 27:01He twisted himself into a pretzel.
378. 27:03I don't see, I don't follow this dude no way.
379. 27:06I don't know, probably many of you listening
380. 27:07who don't follow this dude.
381. 27:08But as I said earlier, there are lots of folks
382. 27:10that listen to this guy.
383. 27:11Even though his hair might look like
384. 27:13he stuck his finger in an electric socket,
385. 27:14let's put that aside.
386. 27:16You know, electronic funk to be dismissed at the moment.
387. 27:21That's like Mr. Soonum.
388. 27:22I just, and so there are people who listen to him
389. 27:29and people who shared that position,
390. 27:32and they've gone along.
391. 27:32How many people were persuaded into repeating
392. 27:35and regurgitating the lie, trans women are women
393. 27:37because they heard this fool.
394. 27:39And now he's saying, well, I was lying through my teeth
395. 27:41back then.
396. 27:42I only said what I said because I was bullied
397. 27:45into that position, because I read the room
398. 27:47and all of the people in my room was saying
399. 27:48that you gotta have this opinion.
400. 27:50And if you don't have this opinion,
401. 27:51you'll get kicked off the cool kids table.
402. 27:58That, you wanna talk about a dearth in masculinity.
403. 28:10I'm from the school, but you had men who were men.
404. 28:13They might not have all your degrees,
405. 28:14but they would say things like this,
406. 28:15if I give you my word, my word is my bond.
407. 28:18I say what I mean and I mean what I say.
408. 28:20If I tell you I'm gonna be there at 915,
409. 28:22I will be there at 915.
410. 28:25And these are all sort of same men who would say,
411. 28:27if you tell me you will be somewhere,
412. 28:29I treat your word as if it's your bond.
413. 28:33But to have this man be pay me squishy,
414. 28:35oh, I was cowed.
415. 28:37I was intimidated by those in my room
416. 28:40who would, you know, revoke my access,
417. 28:43my regressive access card, if I dare state
418. 28:46what I truly believe.
419. 28:47How can anyone take this man seriously going forward?
420. 28:51Because based on what your public track record,
421. 28:54based on your public track record,
422. 28:56you'll say whatever you think is popular.
423. 28:59You'll say whatever maintains you access
424. 29:02at the cool kids table.
425. 29:03You wanna, and then the thing that,
426. 29:05his podcast is called Revisionist History.
427. 29:07But you are living revisionist history.
428. 29:13You are living revisionist history.
429. 29:18But that type of approach is acceptable amongst regressive because for them, the ends justify
430. 29:27the means.
431. 29:29Who cares about integrity as long as your objective is accomplished?
432. 29:34And so he may be trying to save face and preserve, but you read the room now, now it's
433. 29:39become somewhat popular because you have some people who will undertake the things in arrows
434. 29:43and say, Nah, nah, nah, y'all saying this is the emperor,
435. 29:46he got in fashion, he have fine designer robes on,
436. 29:49but this dude is naked.
437. 29:51This emperor has no clothes.
438. 29:54This, this, this, I hear look.
439. 29:55Oh, oh, so you have to be extra special to see it.
440. 29:57Nah, I hear what you saying, but that dude up there
441. 30:00stark, or even naked.
442. 30:02And I don't care what y'all say,
443. 30:03there's no amount of money to get me to change this.
444. 30:07And this is, man, this should be one on one for the believer.
445. 30:13Truth isn't determined by consensus.
446. 30:20Truth isn't determined by a pole.
447. 30:25In fact, truth is determined by the truth,
448. 30:29determiner.
449. 30:31It is our distinct privilege to discover truth.
450. 30:35We don't determine what is true.
451. 30:36We discover what is truth.
452. 30:40The creator of heaven and earth,
453. 30:41the king of kings and the Lord of lords determines what is true.
454. 30:48Years ago, when I first got on the air and it's amazing,
455. 30:51Man, it's almost 10 years.
456. 30:53We've been on this program.
457. 30:55Isn't that something?
458. 30:57But something I said soon after coming on the air
459. 31:00is that we have to be liberated from this idolatry
460. 31:02of the so-called expert.
461. 31:06You may be wonderful in your profession.
462. 31:09You know, Friday we did the program.
463. 31:10Tom Brady is a great NFL quarterback,
464. 31:12but I'm not taking family and marriage advice from Tom Brady.
465. 31:15No shade to him.
466. 31:16I think he's a tremendous athlete.
467. 31:18He's had tremendous accomplishments.
468. 31:21You know, congratulations on your accomplishments.
469. 31:25But I'm not listening to the Tom Brady to tell me how to love my wife as Christ loved the church,
470. 31:34and gave himself for her.
471. 31:37Tom Brady can't tell me nothing about that.
472. 31:39So, what I'm driving at, guys, this Malcolm Sadwell is the latest example of this.
473. 31:48How many more of these people they write and speak and say things they don't believe them at all?
474. 31:56They don't believe them at all.
475. 31:58They're just going along to get along.
476. 32:00And they are the influencers and they're shaping culture because they get paid
477. 32:06So they'll do and say whatever it takes so they keep that that gravitrain running and keep their position
478. 32:16Within the regressive echelon of society
479. 32:20I ain't stuck these folks
480. 32:23Listen, I don't care if you don't have one degree by your name if you have the holy word of God and you are
481. 32:29indwelled by the Spirit of God, you have all that you need to be who God calls you to be.
482. 32:35Now God can add to that to add additional qualifications and abilities to you,
483. 32:40but don't you for one second tuck your Bible in because somebody's approaching you and they have
484. 32:46Ph.D. element of P.M.D.M. div. Got a shiv, I might live behind their names, stand fast on the word of
485. 32:53God and let God be your vindicator.
486. 33:01The term Providence means God's super intending care over his creation.
487. 33:06America's providential history with Stephen McDowell.
488. 33:09God as it were performing his will in history.
489. 33:14And so through this podcast we're going to be taking a look at the providence of God and
490. 33:19the history and in particular in the history of America.
491. 33:55and sign up for our daily news brief at AFN.net.
492. 34:25use of marijuana and focus on satanic darkness or the contributing factors.
493. 34:31The answer is not affirmation, but proclamation of God's truth in the gospel.
494. 34:36Jesus said, If you continue in my word, then you are truly disciples of mine.
495. 34:41And you will know the truth and the truth will make you free.
496. 34:45Here are most recent programs on this topic at theChristianworldview.org
497. 34:49and then tune in this weekend for another topic that will sharpen your worldview.
498. 34:53Listen to the Christian worldview with David Wheaton Saturday mornings at 8
499. 34:57Central on American Family Radio.
500. 34:59The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Common Terrets are available at
501. 35:09AFR.net back to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
502. 35:14Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here.
503. 35:18Some of you guys probably saw this story. It was
504. 35:23over the weekend.
505. 35:26There was a Hyundai LG battery plant in Ellebell, Georgia.
506. 35:32Ellebell is about 23 miles west of Savannah, Georgia.
507. 35:38So for those who may not be aware, Hyundai Hyundai Hyundai, some of you go to Hyundai.
508. 35:47It's a South Korean corporation.
509. 35:51Yes, quite large, huge South Korean corporation.
510. 35:57They make cars and here is producing car batteries with LG and a little birdie let Tom Holman
511. 36:12in them know.
512. 36:13Hey, you'll tell them anybody to say like this.
513. 36:16Hey, you'll tell them.
514. 36:18It's the new legal's over there in Ellebell, Georgia.
515. 36:22You never want a serious price to go to waste.
516. 36:26So, Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted an operation at the Hyundai plant, only to
517. 36:33discover 475 illegal aliens operating in this plant.
518. 36:42475.
519. 36:47They were detained by ICE.
520. 36:50Now, South Korea is a nation that we obviously have, implemented, warm and friendly diplomatic
521. 36:57relations with.
522. 36:58But I'm sharing this story with you for several reasons.
523. 37:02One, to show that though we have a large percentage of Eluba aliens who have entered the country
524. 37:07through our southern border and who are of Mexican ancestry, it's not exclusively Mexican
525. 37:14and even Hispanic ancestry.
526. 37:16Here, you have, sure, this is all a coincidence, Bobby and Jeff.
527. 37:21This is just a coincidence, I'm sure, that you have 475 South Korean illegal aliens working
528. 37:27in a South Korean corporation in America.
529. 37:31I'm sure that's all coincidental.
530. 37:34But some of you may be surprised
531. 37:40at President Trump's response to this.
532. 37:44Listen to, oh, we don't have the video for this one.
533. 37:46Listen to President Trump's response to this raid
534. 37:51at this Hyundai plant in LBL, Georgia.
535. 37:53Clip number three, clip three, go.
536. 37:55That's your reaction to South Korea's regrets,
537. 37:59and we're calling it regrettable what happened with their workers at the Hyundai plant.
538. 38:03Well, I'll speak to them, you know, look, it's a battery factory in that case, it's up to home.
539. 38:09And, you know, when they're building batteries, if you don't have people in this country right now that know about batteries,
540. 38:17maybe we should help them along and let some people come in and train our people
541. 38:22to do, you know, complex things, whether it's battery manufacturers or computer manufacturers or building ships.
542. 38:29So we're going to look at that whole situation.
543. 38:32We have a lot of industries that we don't have anymore,
544. 38:35and we're going to have to trade people.
545. 38:37And the way you trade people is bring people in
546. 38:39to know what they're doing and let them stay
547. 38:41for a little while and help.
548. 38:43So I'm going to look at that just a very interesting
549. 38:45situation that can place in your ship.
550. 38:49And we heard about it yesterday.
551. 38:52At the same thing, at times ICE was doing right
552. 38:55because they were here illegally.
553. 38:57But we do have to work something out, but we bring in experts so that our people can be trained so that they can do it themselves. Does that make sense?
554. 39:05Right?
555. 39:06It's training the relationship with Korea at all. We have a great relationship with South Korea. Really good relationship. You know, we just made a great deal.
556. 39:14But I'm going to look at it because I understand exactly what does.
557. 39:19Hmm.
558. 39:21Isn't that interesting?
559. 39:24Isn't that interesting?
560. 39:27I know some people are trying to say, oh, these people are not from Korea.
561. 39:33Pump you breaks a little bit.
562. 39:34The Republican Korea president, that's South Korea, Lee J. Muong has confirmed that, yeah,
563. 39:43y'all got our people over there.
564. 39:46As soon as the administrative process is done, we are chartering a plane to bring them all
565. 39:51back to South Korea. That's funny how the line media says, oh, they're not illegal aliens.
566. 40:03Yeah. So why is the South Korean president saying, um, about that? We're going to send a plane over
567. 40:08to pick them up and we're going to get them. But, but, uh,
568. 40:13some president Trump is saying, so we don't have, we don't have people who can make the batteries.
569. 40:17Is that what you're saying, Mr. President? We won't have folks who know how to make batteries who
570. 40:22who could work with LG in Hyundai.
571. 40:24We'll have folks, we can't learn how to make a matter.
572. 40:28I don't know about that chief.
573. 40:31I don't know about that.
574. 40:32And you know one of the first things I thought about?
575. 40:34Because if you've heard the way that these deals work,
576. 40:37you have these foreign corporations
577. 40:39that will announce through these deals,
578. 40:40we're investing so well billion dollars in the United States
579. 40:44and to build certain things in the United States of America.
580. 40:52Did that foreign investment also include them importing illegal
581. 40:56aliens to work in like the whole idea of the foreign investment is so that you have Americans
582. 41:03who are employed. Am I wrong? Am I missing that? Like all of these trade deals that are
583. 41:08being worked out when you have, hey, this foreign nation has committed to 800 billion
584. 41:13in investments over the next two years. We're going to build a manufacturing facility in
585. 41:18L.L.B.L. Georgia. Do you think that that also included? And by the way, that factory in
586. 41:22And L.L.L.L. George will be staffed by 475 illegal aliens.
587. 41:27I'm just, man, y'all know me,
588. 41:32equal opportunity truth teller.
589. 41:34Is it me or does it sound like President Trump
590. 41:36kind of hit a new tune a little bit?
591. 41:38And saying, well, we don't have people looking to do the jobs.
592. 41:42We need to have them to come over
593. 41:44and they need to train us in how to do it.
594. 41:47Now, I do agree on one point,
595. 41:49having had manufacturing outsourced for so long,
596. 41:52it can have, not can.
597. 41:54does have a deleterious impact on having immediately ready staff, but shouldn't there be some
598. 42:01consideration if you're going to build your factories here that we need to make sure we make
599. 42:05a way to make sure that you don't have people working in your factories that are breaking our
600. 42:10immigration laws? I mean, is that too much to ask? I'm just, I'm just tired of it, man, like,
601. 42:19for the longest people had, people had things saying, they go, oh, their American workers won't do this
602. 42:23job, speak for yourself, that's a lie. I know scores of people that will do all of the jobs
603. 42:30that you're saying they won't do because they used to do them. It's not like we had these jobs
604. 42:36that weren't being done before. We had mass influx of illegal immigration of illegal immigrants.
605. 42:41No, the jobs were being done before. Now you have this thing that's happening with a combination
606. 42:47of illegal immigration and greed in some instances that are resulting in this. So I'm just listen,
607. 42:56I know people some may be upset with me.
608. 42:59There's some people that all Trump all the time.
609. 43:01I'm saying, President Trump, you seem to have hit
610. 43:03a different tune on this point.
611. 43:05And if we're going to have an America first,
612. 43:07and I'm not, y'all know this.
613. 43:11I'm not offering this as a condemnation,
614. 43:14but somebody has to be willing to say,
615. 43:16hey, wait, President Trump, are you serious?
616. 43:19Are you saying that we don't have Americans who could do
617. 43:20this work?
618. 43:21How long do you think it'll take to train Americans
619. 43:25to make batteries?
620. 43:26How long do you think that will take?
621. 43:29And I'm not saying this as if I have a pre-determined conclusion or answer to that question, but
622. 43:33that should be a part of the calculus.
623. 43:35Hey, Oh, Honda, if you're going to, if you're going to make batteries here in America, you
624. 43:39can't break our laws.
625. 43:41How about that?
626. 43:45What do you think is going to happen at that factory that they're going to shut down now
627. 43:48that these 475 illegal immigrants are getting chartered back to South Korea?
628. 43:55No, they're going to be employed with other people.
629. 44:01We either are going to enforce our immigration laws or we're not.
630. 44:04either going to re-enfranchise the American worker in the American middle class or we're not.
631. 44:11This whole notion, oh we gotta have this and we gotta have that. And I agree to a degree,
632. 44:17but why can't we train our folks? This another one of those man, I got all kind of stuff. I'm not
633. 44:28gonna get to all of the stuff today. I know it. I'm gonna cover this story because I want to hit this
634. 44:32one. This is and you think these kind of things are always in one sector or another sector,
635. 44:38but it happens across the board. So in the state of Arizona, you have a state senator,
636. 44:44Annalise Ortiz, who uses her social media accounts or who has used her social media accounts
637. 44:56to post alerts in her state as where ICE raids will take place. Well, another state senator,
638. 45:04Jake Hoffman, has filed an ethics complaint against Senator Ortiz and said that you
639. 45:10are conducting yourself in a manner that is not only reckless but is dangerous.
640. 45:14Because if you, as a result of your position as a state legislator, learn about ICE activities,
641. 45:19and then you disclose prospective ICE activities, you are placing our law enforcement officers in harm's way.
642. 45:31This is something that at a minimum should cause you to lose your position in the state legislature.
643. 45:39That is what Senator Hoffman has asserted. Listen to and watch this clip.
644. 45:43It's clip number two, clip two, go.
645. 45:46An ethics complaint has been filed against state senator
646. 45:48Annelies Ortiz over her social media warnings
647. 45:52about immigration enforcement.
648. 45:54The complaint was filed by Republican Senator Jake Hoffman.
649. 45:57He calls for the Democrats expulsion.
650. 46:00Ortiz has been under fire for posting an alert
651. 46:02about ICE activity in the Phoenix area.
652. 46:05Republicans claim that she violated federal law
653. 46:08while Ortiz maintains she was informing the community.
654. 46:12The complaint has been sent to the US Attorney's Office for a review.
655. 46:20Guys, listen, this is, this is not hard.
656. 46:23If you interfere with a federal law enforcement operation, you, you can, you can
657. 46:32place stupid games, but you're going to win stupid prizes.
658. 46:34You can find yourself with that Wisconsin judge, load it up and cuffs yourself.
659. 46:41Why are you crying?
660. 46:42Why are you crying?
661. 46:43Why are you crying?
662. 46:45This is not your country.
663. 46:45Why are you crying?
664. 46:48You're gonna find yourself in a bad way.
665. 46:50They're like, yeah, we're doing this for our people.
666. 46:53Like what are you talking about?
667. 46:54If you get on social media,
668. 46:57you posting these videos,
669. 46:59you're gonna find yourself getting the rest of yourself.
670. 47:03Okay?
671. 47:04And she attempted to assert,
672. 47:06and these people act like they don't understand
673. 47:08any differences.
674. 47:10Senator Ortiz said that her activity
675. 47:13is protected by the First Amendment.
676. 47:15She's doing nothing illegal,
677. 47:17and it's similar to an app alerting drivers to a police presence on a highway.
678. 47:21Ma'am, you are dead wrong and I'll tell you why.
679. 47:24I'll tell you why.
680. 47:26When you have police officers that have, for example, checkpoints on streets,
681. 47:33they are not conducting an existing law enforcement investigation.
682. 47:41When you have police officers patrolling the streets and patrolling the highway,
683. 47:46setting up checkpoints, they are establishing a non-subjective place to evaluate people who
684. 47:56have already been licensed, presumably to drive. Everybody driving the vehicle are presumed
685. 48:00to be licensed. A license is an agreement between the driver and the state that the driver
686. 48:06will comply with the laws. That's not an ongoing warranted investigation. An ICE raid,
687. 48:17For example, an ICE investigation is usually the product of a previous accumulation of evidence
688. 48:24that mounts to the standard of reasonable suspicion, if not probable cause, oftentimes
689. 48:29the ICE raids are exercising arrest and detention warrants for people who have been notified
690. 48:36that they are already in the country illegally.
691. 48:39These are not the same thing.
692. 48:40And so to have a state legislator whose job is last time I read checks notes, oh yeah,
693. 48:45legislators make laws.
694. 48:46They make laws. Notifying people publicly of an ex of a prospective ice warranted investigation.
695. 48:59You are intervening and interfering with a lawful exercise, a lawful exercise of duty,
696. 49:08which in itself can be felonious. So you keep playing these games if you want. And this is
697. 49:16This is why you saw the mayor of Los Angeles back down,
698. 49:20Karen Bass, because she was saying these other things,
699. 49:22and good old Tom Holman gave her a little visit,
700. 49:24and say, man, I just want to let you know,
701. 49:25this is where the line is.
702. 49:27You crossed this line, you will be in cuffs,
703. 49:29and what did Karen Bass do?
704. 49:32You got it, big man, you got it.
705. 49:34You got it, she's no longer warning people about ice raids,
706. 49:39because Tom Holman said,
707. 49:40I know things about these people here
708. 49:41that you don't even know, you haven't seen their records,
709. 49:43you don't know the warrants that we have,
710. 49:45you don't know any of these things.
711. 49:47So this is just man, we're living in a silly, silly, silly time.
712. 49:52Silly time.
713. 49:57And at a minimum, this senator, her position in the state legislature should be called into question at a minimum.
714. 50:06And if she presses forward, depending on what she does thereafter,
715. 50:11she might very well find herself with her liberty in jeopardy.
716. 50:18Thank you guys for tuning in to the Hamilton Corner.
717. 50:21Lord willing, Lord willing, we'll be back tomorrow.
718. 50:23will continue weighing in on the issues and navigating the foolishness of
719. 50:28your most importantly delving into God's word not pray that we add value to your
