  1. 0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
  2. 0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
  3. 0:07This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
  4. 0:11It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
  5. 0:15Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
  6. 0:18And the philosophies of this world.
  7. 0:20God has called you and me to be His ambassador.
  8. 0:24Even in this dark moment.
  9. 0:26Let's not miss our moment.
  10. 0:28And now the Hamilton Corner.
  11. 0:31Good evening, everybody.
  12. 0:36Welcome to the Hamilton Corner.
  13. 0:38Here on American Family Radio, I'm your host, Abraham Hamilton, the third joined by the
  14. 0:42Corner contingent right across from me, my man, 100 grand, Mr. Bobby, Rowsa, and in the
  15. 0:49screening room, produced the extraordinaire to reel J. Mac.
  16. 0:54We are frankly all still reeling from Charlie Kirk's assassination.
  17. 1:05is there are a number of profound,
  18. 1:13some might call them ironies,
  19. 1:15I wouldn't necessarily call them ironies,
  20. 1:20that here we are 24 years after September
  21. 1:24on the anniversary, or should I just say,
  22. 1:2724 years after the attack, frankly,
  23. 1:34on the American way of life,
  24. 1:37launched by Islamic jihadists
  25. 1:41that killed more than 3,000 Americans 24 years ago.
  26. 1:47And as I am broadcasting now yesterday
  27. 1:54with the assassination of Charlie Kirk,
  28. 1:58who according to all reports and indications,
  29. 2:03was assassinated because he dare exercise
  30. 2:07as God given constitutionally protected right
  31. 2:12to freely exercise what he believes.
  32. 2:26because he had the audacity to have a belief system.
  33. 2:37And not only have it, but to articulate it
  34. 2:41in the public square, in a reasonable
  35. 2:44and persuasive manner, those who could not abide
  36. 2:49his public witness decided that they wanted to shut him up
  37. 3:03and make no mistake about it.
  38. 3:10It is the ballistic equivalent to those
  39. 3:15You may be in a reasonable conversation, you're unable to contend with their opponents reason,
  40. 3:21wisdom and logic.
  41. 3:24They would begin to talk louder or begin to shout.
  42. 3:28And as I've said before, just because you talk louder, that mean you're right.
  43. 3:35And often the loudness of that expression is actually an admission that they know they're
  44. 3:41losing.
  45. 3:46But the increased volume is an effort to intimidate the speaker, as well as all who
  46. 3:51may be in the audience, to say we will not abide your capacity to persuade.
  47. 4:07And what we all became aware of from yesterday was a repeat of that phenomenon and a heightened
  48. 4:16and temporally final mechanism to say to Charlie Kirk, but also any others who would be willing
  49. 4:30to do what Charlie Kirk did to say you all need to shut up. That is why there's a concerted effort to
  50. 4:42describe reasonable disagreement as hate speech, which is why that type of rhetoric has been used
  51. 4:55to justify political violence?
  52. 4:58Because if there is a Hitler on the loose, who are surely we don't want to repeat of
  53. 5:01Hitler, so what is the appropriate response to a Hitler or a Nazi?
  54. 5:07And you saw some people online in the most, one of the most grotesque displays I've seen
  55. 5:13to say, well, who was shed tears for Hitler?
  56. 5:20My question is how will we respond?
  57. 5:26Unsurprisingly, the word of God gives us great encouragement.
  58. 5:32to the word of God we go.
  59. 5:34Acts 14, I'm gonna read the first, what?
  60. 5:40Six verses, Acts 14, verses one through six.
  61. 5:44Then I'm gonna drop down to verses 19 and 20.
  62. 5:48And this portion of scripture details,
  63. 5:51the Apostle Paul's missionary engagement in Iconium
  64. 5:57and Lystra and Derby.
  65. 6:00All right.
  66. 6:02And this is what the word of God says.
  67. 6:05Now at Iconium, they entered into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed.
  68. 6:14But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds.
  69. 6:22Listen carefully to the word of God here and poisoned their minds against the brethren.
  70. 6:30So they remained there for a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who bore witness to the
  71. 6:37Word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
  72. 6:43But the people of the city were divided, some sided with the unbelieving Jews, and some
  73. 6:51with the apostles.
  74. 6:54When an attempt was made by both Gentiles and unbelieving Jews with their rulers to
  75. 7:01You mistreat them and to stone them.
  76. 7:04They learned of it and fled to Lystra and Derby, cities of Lyconia and to the surrounding country.
  77. 7:16And there they continue to preach the gospel.
  78. 7:21Now look at verse 19.
  79. 7:25But unbelieving Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and having persuaded the crowds, they
  80. 7:35owned Paul and dragged him out of the city,
  81. 7:40supposing that he was dead.
  82. 7:43I'm gonna pause there.
  83. 7:43I wanna make sure you see these things.
  84. 7:46First, this portion of scripture begins in Iconium.
  85. 7:50All right?
  86. 7:51In Iconium, the Apostle Paul and his ministerial team
  87. 7:54entered the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way
  88. 7:58that a great number of both Jews and Gentiles
  89. 8:01came to faith in Christ.
  90. 8:03A great number of people were persuaded
  91. 8:06by the Apostle Paul's public presentation
  92. 8:09and public witness.
  93. 8:11But there also were in the crowds,
  94. 8:14there as verse two says,
  95. 8:17some Jews who are unbelieving.
  96. 8:18So hear me clearly, there were some Jews
  97. 8:20who were persuaded.
  98. 8:21And remember the Apostle Paul himself was a Jew,
  99. 8:23Jewish Rabbi of Pharisee.
  100. 8:25And he was as successful in his appeal,
  101. 8:27his public witness, his bold presentation
  102. 8:30was effective in persuading some.
  103. 8:33is what the scripture says.
  104. 8:37And so though the Apostle Paul and his team
  105. 8:41were able to persuade some,
  106. 8:43verse three says they stayed in Iconium
  107. 8:45for a long time speaking boldly.
  108. 8:50But can you imagine how the Apostle Paul's
  109. 8:53bold consistent public witness agitated the unbelieving
  110. 8:58in the audience?
  111. 8:59Can you imagine, you don't have to just imagine
  112. 9:01and I'm gonna explain how much it agitated them.
  113. 9:04It agitated them as they continued in Iconium
  114. 9:07day after day publicly proclaiming with boldness the truth of Yeshua, Hamashiyok.
  115. 9:16Look at verse 4, but the people of the city were divided. Stop me if you heard some of that before.
  116. 9:23There was some in the city who agreed with Paul, championed his message, who would show up
  117. 9:32in increasing crowd sizes day after day. But there was still some who disagreed with them.
  118. 9:40So what happened?
  119. 9:44An attempted assassination occurred.
  120. 9:47Look at verse five.
  121. 9:48When an attempt was made by both Gentiles and Jews,
  122. 9:51this is referring to unbelieving Jews with their rulers,
  123. 9:56with their rulers to mistreat them.
  124. 10:01Oh, it's just a little mistreatment.
  125. 10:02That's on one part about, oh, well,
  126. 10:04that's an end of mistreat them and what?
  127. 10:05And to stone them, they tried to kill Paul at Iconium.
  128. 10:12They tried to kill his team at Iconium.
  129. 10:14But what is verse six tells us,
  130. 10:16But they learned of the efforts to stone Paul and his team,
  131. 10:20and they fled to Leistre and Derby,
  132. 10:23to the cities of Lyconia and to the surrounding country,
  133. 10:26but they continue to preach the gospel.
  134. 10:31Look at verse 19.
  135. 10:33Verse 19 transpires in the city of Leistre.
  136. 10:36Now remember earlier I said that some of the unbelievers in Iconium,
  137. 10:40they were so agitated.
  138. 10:42The agitation was palpable.
  139. 10:44And though Paul labored an Iconium for a long time, as the scripture says,
  140. 10:47They moved on to Lystra.
  141. 10:49Guys, Lystra is over a hundred miles away from Antioch and Iconium.
  142. 10:56And what does verse 19 tell us?
  143. 11:00But some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium.
  144. 11:03Guys that took their agitated, hate-filled show on the road.
  145. 11:08And back then, remember, the little trains, planes and automobiles,
  146. 11:11they on this joint by foot, huffing it.
  147. 11:14or at best using some manner of beast of burden,
  148. 11:23but over a hundred miles to follow Paul to Lystra.
  149. 11:28And then what do they do in Lystra?
  150. 11:29They agitate the crowds, they persuade the crowds
  151. 11:34so that the crowds agree to do in Lystra,
  152. 11:39what these murderous intended agitators
  153. 11:42could not accomplish in Iconium,
  154. 11:45they stone Paul and Lystra.
  155. 11:48and the scripture explains it,
  156. 11:49that they stone Paul and dragged him out of the city,
  157. 11:53supposing he was dead.
  158. 12:00So they stone Paul inside of the city.
  159. 12:05Paul had a ministerial team.
  160. 12:07Can you imagine what could have happened
  161. 12:10with the ministerial team when Paul is being stoned?
  162. 12:14They perceived Paul as being dead
  163. 12:18and sought to drag his lifeless body outside of the city.
  164. 12:22Now the question I wanna ask you is
  165. 12:25Why do you think they stone Paul?
  166. 12:28You think they had a personal animal saying,
  167. 12:29Paul, like your sandals.
  168. 12:33Paul, you have the Nike Soush on the wrong side
  169. 12:35of your flip-flop.
  170. 12:37Or, or is it more likely that they sought the stone Paul
  171. 12:42because of what he said and how effective it was
  172. 12:47at persuading, not everybody,
  173. 12:53but persuading a consistent, consistent portion
  174. 12:59of the audience that he was appealing to.
  175. 13:04Can you imagine what might have washed over those who were traveling with Paul
  176. 13:09who were there, Leistra, who came with him from Iconium all the way to Leistra?
  177. 13:14Man, should we continue this?
  178. 13:15I shared yesterday, this is why the Apostle Paul wrote in his, in his epistle,
  179. 13:19a second, it, it pissed with a Timothy that way we made Paul, I'm in change.
  180. 13:22And yes, I'm aware that I'm, this is the end of my life, but you got,
  181. 13:26it's not giving you a spirit of fear, but a power and love and a sound mind.
  182. 13:36But what happens?
  183. 13:37I'll read 19 again, but the Jews came from Antioch and Econium and
  184. 13:41have them persuade of the crowds.
  185. 13:42They stone Paul and dragged him out of the city,
  186. 13:45supposing that he was dead.
  187. 13:46But when the disciples gathered about him,
  188. 13:50he rose up and went right back into the same city he had just came from.
  189. 13:56Brothers and sisters, I would submit to you that this is the will of God for
  190. 14:02his bride and our nation, that with the evil intent of this murderous assassin in
  191. 14:08Assassin in all of these wicked sycophants who are celebrating a husband and a father's assassination
  192. 14:16That we by the strength of God by the grace of God refused to be cowed
  193. 14:23By the demonic spirit of the age and we find it within ourselves to get up and go right back into the city
  194. 14:30That we continue doing what God has called us to do
  195. 14:34And in fact, those of us who might have been on the sidelines, who need to find your place
  196. 14:39and to get off the couch ministry.
  197. 14:41Today is the day.
  198. 14:42Let's get about it.
  199. 14:45Because similar to 9-11, when they sought to destroy the American way of life, and our
  200. 14:49nation said, no sir, you will not have that, we must do the same in this day that we will
  201. 14:54not stop speaking truth.
  202. 15:00A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
  203. 15:04What are some of the battles that our children are dealing with?
  204. 15:06Why is it so important that we're equipping them to be warrior minded in their world and
  205. 15:12in their circumstances as well?
  206. 15:14Some might say, well children are young, let them grow up.
  207. 15:17Well the fact is sadly some children never get to grow up because the world is such a dangerous
  208. 15:22tragic place in so many ways.
  209. 15:24What are some of the battlefields our children and youth deal with?
  210. 15:27Bullying and dealing with bullying, drug abuse, alcohol abuse.
  211. 15:31The list could go on and on.
  212. 15:33Parents, a very wise strategy, a kingdom strategy, and a spiritual warfare strategy is figure out
  213. 15:40a way to motivate your child and have them to begin to read the Word of God to you every
  214. 15:45day, out loud as something we've mentioned before.
  215. 15:48Having your child read daily is a great way to begin to instill the eternal Word of God
  216. 15:52in the mind of the hearts of our children.
  217. 15:55That's a very important battle strategy for every parent.
  218. 16:05live into the darkness. This is the Hamilton corner on American family radio. Welcome back
  219. 16:11to the Hamilton corner. I want to clear up some things that I said yesterday while I was
  220. 16:21on the air and this was being reported in real time whenever you have an investigation happening
  221. 16:25in real time. Often you have early reports that ended up being you know changed somewhat
  222. 16:31and so while I was on the air I mentioned well first you know there was an initials a person
  223. 16:38of interest detained immediately and older gentlemen who was released after FBI investigation.
  224. 16:43While I was on the air yesterday, I mentioned that the FBI was reporting that they had detained
  225. 16:47another suspect, which they had at that time.
  226. 16:49But upon their further review, they concluded that he was not the shooter in this incident,
  227. 16:56and so they released him.
  228. 16:58Well, as you might expect with the rapid pace of information being acquired and the continued
  229. 17:05investigation by the FBI, there are more details that have been unearthed currently.
  230. 17:12But I'll start by saying they the law enforcement officials have not yet
  231. 17:18apprehended who they believe to be the suspect.
  232. 17:21However, there's information that is aiding them in the process of arresting Charlie
  233. 17:28Kurtz assassin.
  234. 17:30I'm going to take this portion of the program to just give factual information
  235. 17:35to update you on the process and the progress of the investigation.
  236. 17:41Well, early this morning, Stephen Crowder posted publicly a report that he had received
  237. 17:50that was leaked to him according to him by an officer at ATF.
  238. 17:58And Stephen Crowder is one that has shown historically that when he receives tips and leaks
  239. 18:04from law enforcement, they tend to be accurate.
  240. 18:07He's the one who first received the manifesto
  241. 18:11from the murderer of the children in Tennessee
  242. 18:15at the Covenant Presbyterian School,
  243. 18:19just to give you an example of that.
  244. 18:20So I'm gonna read this report.
  245. 18:23It's not a long report,
  246. 18:24but this is what Stephen Crowder shared this morning.
  247. 18:26And then I'm gonna explain why I'm sharing this with you.
  248. 18:29Was Stephen Crowder shared that this is the email he received
  249. 18:32from an officer at the ATF.
  250. 18:36And this is what the email reads, quote,
  251. 18:37on September 10th, 2025 at approximately 12, 24 p.m.
  252. 18:41conservative political influencer Charlie Kirk
  253. 18:43was shot and killed at the Utah Valley University
  254. 18:46in Orm, Utah.
  255. 18:47Mr. Kirk was speaking at the university
  256. 18:49as part of the American comeback tour.
  257. 18:51Multiple SLC one in three agents responded immediately.
  258. 18:56The suspect fired one shot from an elevated position
  259. 18:58on a rooftop in the Jason building on the campus.
  260. 19:01and surveillance video shows the suspect jumping off
  261. 19:04and fleeing the area on foot.
  262. 19:07ATF and other law enforcement located an older model
  263. 19:10imported Mauser 30-06 caliber bolt action rifle
  264. 19:14wrapped in a towel in a wooded area near the campus.
  265. 19:17The location of the firearm appears
  266. 19:19to match the suspect's route of travel.
  267. 19:22The spent cartridge was still chambered
  268. 19:24in addition to three unspent rounds
  269. 19:26at the top fed magazine.
  270. 19:28All cartridges have engraved wording on them."
  271. 19:32Listen closely, guys.
  272. 19:33Back to the email,
  273. 19:34all cartridges have engraved wording on them,
  274. 19:38expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology.
  275. 19:43An emergency trace has been submitted,
  276. 19:46an ATF SLC is working, leads generated by the trace.
  277. 19:50The firearm and ammunition have been taken by the FBI
  278. 19:54for DNA analysis and fingerprint impressions.
  279. 19:57Upon completion of forensics, the firearm will be disassembled for additional imported
  280. 20:02information.
  281. 20:04Multiple people of interest have contacted or detained because of eyewitness testimony
  282. 20:11and review of video footage.
  283. 20:13The primary suspect is yet to be identified.
  284. 20:15ATF is assisting the investigation with multiple other federal, state, and local partners,
  285. 20:22and the case is co-led by the FBI and the Utah State Bureau of Investigation.
  286. 20:27Now, I'm sharing this with you because not long after, and this report is current as I'm
  287. 20:33speaking to you.
  288. 20:34This has not been contradicted or repudiated.
  289. 20:37The FBI, Robert Bull, Special Agent in Charge for the FBI has come out publicly, and he confirmed
  290. 20:46the majority of the facts that were included in Stephen Crowder's email post, or Stephen
  291. 20:54Crowder's post.
  292. 20:55Now, I want to turn your attention now to Special Agent in Charge, FBI Special Agent in Charge,
  293. 21:01Robert Bowles, publicly corroborating many of the facts that Stephen Crowder reported
  294. 21:09first.
  295. 21:10Listen to and watch clip number four, clip number four, go.
  296. 21:20To be that was used in yesterday's shooting.
  297. 21:22It was a high powered bolt action rifle.
  298. 21:26rifle was recovered in a wooded area where the shooter had fled. The FBI
  299. 21:32laboratory will be analyzing this weapon. Investigators have also collected
  300. 21:37footwear impression upon print. Now I want you to note first FBI Special
  301. 21:50Ladies in Charge Robert Bowles added information that was not included in
  302. 21:53Stephen Crowd as post that said that the FBI has recovered footprint impression
  303. 21:58most likely in the wooded area where this rifle was recovered and a palm print.
  304. 22:07A palm print is important for it is in the identifying capacity and they very well
  305. 22:12may. I don't know this was certain depends on the condition of the palm print. They
  306. 22:17may be able to obtain DNA evidence from the palm print perhaps from the rifle as
  307. 22:22well depending on what the condition I don't know you know gloves no gloves
  308. 22:25things of that nature. But I also want you to notice that special agent Robert
  309. 22:32bulls confirmed several of the facts that Stephen Crow
  310. 22:35pointed out. One, that they have recovered the weapon they
  311. 22:39believe to be the weapon that was used to assassinate Charlie
  312. 22:42Kirk. That in of itself is huge. Anybody who's worked in law
  313. 22:47enforcement will let you know that having the weapon is
  314. 22:53vitally important to process ballistic evidence. Some people
  315. 22:57are familiar with firearms depending on whether or not any
  316. 23:00He spent shell casings are recovered or ballistic projectiles that may be recovered from the
  317. 23:05scene that that projectiles awfully often have what's called rifling on the projectile itself
  318. 23:11that that comports with the uniqueness of the barrel of the firearm that the projectile is
  319. 23:15ejected through.
  320. 23:16It's almost like DNA for a gun.
  321. 23:20All right.
  322. 23:21All right.
  323. 23:22I'm trying to it's a crude analogy, but very often I've prosecuted numerous cases that if
  324. 23:25you can recover, you know, ejected projectiles or the shell casings and you can recover the
  325. 23:31firearm, you can you have forensic analysts who can assess the projectile connected to the gun.
  326. 23:38That's vitally important. The next point, the FBI confirms that the rifle was a bolt action rifle.
  327. 23:48Steven Crowder identified it as a Mauser 30-odd-six caliber bolt action rifle. The FBI confirmed
  328. 23:57that they recovered a bolt action rifle. Again, I am not a firearms expert, but I have
  329. 24:04just said this way. We at the American Family Association and American Family Radio believe
  330. 24:09fervently in the Second Amendment. My name is Abraham Hamilton, the third and I approve this message.
  331. 24:15Okay, those who are familiar with firearms would tell you that a bolt action rifle with a 30-out
  332. 24:23six caliber has the capacity to execute a shot from the reported 200 yard distance.
  333. 24:33You'll find some who will say 300 to 700 yards, a 200 yard shot with that weapon is for a
  334. 24:42person that may have moderate competency.
  335. 24:44Would that be fair, Bobby?
  336. 24:46Moderate competency with that weapon.
  337. 24:49And that distance would a good scope.
  338. 24:53There could be some facts that are adding up there.
  339. 24:56Then notice the report from Crowder indicated that the weapon is being processed for forensic
  340. 25:03analysis, forensic analysis which is what Robert Bowles said and confirmed that fact as well.
  341. 25:10But did you notice what was missing from the FBI Special Agents confirmation?
  342. 25:17You notice that the FBI Special Agent didn't say anything about?
  343. 25:23What was engraved on the cartridges?
  344. 25:25Did you notice that?
  345. 25:28Now as I paid attention to the reporting throughout the day, continued research, I've
  346. 25:32heard some additional law enforcement officials begin to even say, well yes, there were engravings
  347. 25:41on some of the cartridges, but they did not go into what was engraved on the cartridges.
  348. 25:50But the Crowder report would seem to be corroborated at a minimum, multiple salient facts from the
  349. 25:57the Crowder post were corroborated by the FBI, subsequent reports corroborate that they were
  350. 26:03engravings, and I want to read it again, the way the Crowder's report includes it.
  351. 26:07All cartridges have engraved wording on them, expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology.
  352. 26:15Reports now are indicating there are cartridges with engraving on them, but there is not broad
  353. 26:21reporting as to what has been engraved on the cartridges.
  354. 26:25Anybody want to take a guess why?
  355. 26:30anybody remember how long that the manifesto from the murderer and covenant in Nashville,
  356. 26:39Tennessee was kept from public? Okay, I'll go further. Yesterday I reported that when Charlie
  357. 26:45Kirk was speaking, he entertained one, one questioner who he had a dialogue with concerning religion.
  358. 26:51They were debating the, the, the, the, the gentleman in the audience wanted to bait Charlie
  359. 26:55Kirk about Mormonism. They end up concluding that conversation, the very next person, the
  360. 27:00The second person who was given the opportunity to speak, I reported yesterday was asking Charlie
  361. 27:05Kirk about transgenderism.
  362. 27:08I want to report now more specifics of the questions that were being asked concerning
  363. 27:12transgenderism.
  364. 27:13When the second questioner asked Charlie Kirk a question, he asked Charlie Kirk whether
  365. 27:19or not he knew how many public shooters were identifying themselves as transgender.
  366. 27:27To his Charlie Kirk responded too many.
  367. 27:30The questioner continued asking another question about the number of transgender shooters.
  368. 27:39And as Charlie was about to and beginning to answer that question, that is when he was
  369. 27:43shot.
  370. 27:45Is that a coincidence?
  371. 27:48Is that a coincidence?
  372. 27:51I don't know.
  373. 27:52We don't know yet.
  374. 27:53Stephen Crowder is reporting the email he received from the ATF agent that cartridges that were
  375. 28:01recovered by the law enforcement with the rifle in the woods had engravings on them expressing
  376. 28:07transgender ideology. I never want to get ahead of the evidence. But I will tell you now that I
  377. 28:17will not be surprised, I will not be surprised if that is in fact confirmed engravings on the
  378. 28:32cartridges that were recovered in the woods with the rifle. Hey, why are you focusing on this?
  379. 28:40I'm focusing on this guys because we can play around if we want, but there is a palpable evil
  380. 28:50that is percolated to around our nation right now.
  381. 28:54And we can act like we don't know the root cause of it, but it is directly connected to
  382. 28:59a collective fist being shaken in the face of Almighty God.
  383. 29:04We can play if we want, but this is the reality.
  384. 29:12And when you boil down the phenomenon and consider the scripture I shared with you a
  385. 29:16few moments ago, there were people who sought to oppose the Apostle Paul.
  386. 29:20They did not like the effectiveness that he had in persuading the crowds.
  387. 29:23A very similar phenomenon occurred when Jesus resurrected Lazarus from the dead that the
  388. 29:28religious leaders, they wanted to destroy Jesus' influence.
  389. 29:33So yes, they said a plot to kill him.
  390. 29:35But what else did they said a plot to do?
  391. 29:36We got to kill Lazarus too.
  392. 29:39We got to kill the evidence of this rabbis instruction because he's becoming too popular.
  393. 29:45He's becoming too effective.
  394. 29:47He is appealing to too many.
  395. 29:48He is persuading too many.
  396. 29:50We cannot contend with this public presentation.
  397. 29:52So our only option is to kill him in the evidence of what he represents.
  398. 29:57It's said that history author repeats itself.
  399. 30:04It does, but it also rhymes.
  400. 30:07The jihadist, the murderous jihadi's.
  401. 30:09And look, let's be real.
  402. 30:11Let's keep it an entire book.
  403. 30:13Why do Islamic terrorists murder?
  404. 30:16Because these jokers, they want an Islamic caliphate,
  405. 30:20a global caliphate.
  406. 30:21What is ISIS, the Islamic state?
  407. 30:26In school, many of you learn,
  408. 30:27Istanbul with Constantinople.
  409. 30:29Why did Istanbul become Constantinople?
  410. 30:32Because it was an effort to establish a caliphate.
  411. 30:37People wanna talk about the Crusades.
  412. 30:38They don't wanna talk about the context of the Crusades.
  413. 30:40They don't wanna talk about that the Crusades
  414. 30:42who are response to an exercise in Islamic Jihad.
  415. 30:45I'm not saying all the things that Crusaders did were right,
  416. 30:47but we must understand the context.
  417. 30:53And why did you hide this murder?
  418. 30:54Because they want the entire world to submit to Islam.
  419. 30:58And in Islamic panoply, you have two options.
  420. 31:01Convert and submit, or maybe a third,
  421. 31:03you can be a demi, a second class citizen, DHIMI.
  422. 31:10But you're basically cannon fodder and property.
  423. 31:13So you either submit or you are annihilated,
  424. 31:16which is why they attacked our trade towers.
  425. 31:21It's not the exact same ideology,
  426. 31:23but it's the same commitment to utilize violence
  427. 31:26when they're unable to persuade reasonably.
  428. 31:37And I wanna be clear,
  429. 31:38what I'm saying about the transgender engravings
  430. 31:41on the cartridges, it is the murderer,
  431. 31:44the assassin engraving his ideology into the cartridges.
  432. 31:51In addition to that, Jeff,
  433. 31:52would you display the picture on the screen?
  434. 31:56The FBI has also announced that they have a potential suspect, as a result of, and we'll
  435. 32:01come back with this, but you go ahead and put it on the screen now, we'll come back with
  436. 32:04them from the break.
  437. 32:05They have a picture of who they believe the suspect is.
  438. 32:08They're circulating this, the FBI is circulating this nationwide, and they're asking for the
  439. 32:14public's help in identifying this person of interest.
  440. 32:17For those who are listening to the show only, it appears to be a college-aged male with a
  441. 32:22a hat, a black long sleeve t-shirt with seeming jeans on and sunglasses,
  442. 32:29appearing to have a backpack on his back, the FBI is offering $100,000 for a $100,000
  443. 32:36reward that leads to the arrest of this suspect.
  444. 32:41If you have any information, you go to tips.fbi.gov, that is tips.fbi.gov.
  445. 32:48There is an amen hot underway to find and arrest the shooter.
  446. 33:24at AFN.NET and sign up for our daily news brief at AFN.NET.
  447. 33:31The test of a person's character is what they would do
  448. 33:35if they were absolutely certain nobody would find out.
  449. 33:39What you are is what you would do
  450. 33:41if you're absolutely certain nobody would ever know.

  483. 35:00The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Commentaries
  484. 35:08are available at eafr.net.
  485. 35:10Back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
  486. 35:16Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton
  487. 35:18the third here.
  488. 35:19Jeff, would you please put back up on the screen
  489. 35:21the picture of what the FBI believes
  490. 35:23is the suspect in this case, as I shared earlier.
  491. 35:27that this picture was obtained as a result of surveillance footage,
  492. 35:31including video of the alleged suspect jumping off the roof and fleeing the area on foot.
  493. 35:41Or should I say, jumping off and fleeing the area on foot?
  494. 35:45And FBI is asking for tips to help identify this person of interest is how they're describing him.
  495. 35:55I said, and in this, this, there's also yesterday, a shooting at a high school in Evergreen,
  496. 36:10Colorado, a 16-year-old assailant after shooting two students turn the gun on themselves.
  497. 36:33According to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, this teenager was radicalized online.
  498. 36:44Guys, this is what's happening in our country.
  499. 36:55There's only one way forward.
  500. 37:06of the objectives of terrorists, those who murder in order to assert their sociopolitical
  501. 37:12ideology and to advance it, is to shut the mouth of the speaker as well as anybody else
  502. 37:22who would be inclined to speak.
  503. 37:24But as we discussed in Acts 14, we have an example in scripture that when murderous terrorists
  504. 37:33sought to crush the gospel proclaimed through the Apostle Paul by stoning him and they thought
  505. 37:41He was dead.
  506. 37:42But as the disciples gathered around him, he popped right up and went right back into
  507. 37:49the city where he come from.
  508. 37:55My prayer is that this would be a moment to where the body of Christ awakens and we commit
  509. 38:08ourselves to proclaiming the truth, having embraced a life disposition from heaven down,
  510. 38:22an eternal perspective on our engagement and allowing that to guide our engagement.
  511. 38:38Will this be a moment that causes us to back up, to dumb down?
  512. 38:46And I want to be abundantly clear in what I'm talking about.
  513. 38:50I am talking about advocating for the life, the eternal life-giving virtue of the gospel,
  514. 38:58which has a direct impact on our societal engagement.
  515. 39:11There must be a rediscovery of a Holy Spirit inspired
  516. 39:18bonus within the body of Christ
  517. 39:20and a Holy Spirit inspired compassion for our citizens,
  518. 39:24our fellow citizens, that we love them enough
  519. 39:27to even be willing to be inconvenienced,
  520. 39:33where we commit ourselves to following the King of glory.
  521. 39:39Come with me, come with me.
  522. 39:46I played the clip of you, played the clip for you yesterday of Matthew Dowd, who worked at MSDNC,
  523. 39:56where he basically blamed Charlie Kirk for his own assassination.
  524. 39:59I have the clip, I'm not going to play it again.
  525. 40:02I played it yesterday, unless y'all think I need to play it.
  526. 40:09MSMBC fired him today.
  527. 40:18They fired him, I'm laughing because Bobby and Jeff are giving me mixed messages.
  528. 40:25They fired him today.
  529. 40:28they apologized for first MSNBC apologized for Matthew Dow's comments.
  530. 40:34That was appropriate. Then they fired Matthew Dowd. That was appropriate.
  531. 40:40We cannot tell you something. Well, let me say let me ask you something.
  532. 40:45Do you believe they fired Matthew Dowd because of what he said?
  533. 40:50Or did they fire Matthew Dowd because of where he said it?
  534. 40:57If Matthew Dowd would have said the exact same thing he said on the air,
  535. 40:59but just kept that in the break room, you think they were firing him?
  536. 41:01Now, I understand the responsibility that sings off their air than things they say on the air.
  537. 41:08I understand that.
  538. 41:10But the point I'm getting at is they fired him because of the public blowback.
  539. 41:16You know, that when people apologize, sometimes people apologizing is because they are rightly
  540. 41:21contrite for the era that they've caused.
  541. 41:25Right.
  542. 41:26Sometimes people apologize because they simply saw it and they got caught.
  543. 41:30They're simply sorry because they got caught.
  544. 41:32They're not sorry about what they did.
  545. 41:33They're not sorry for what they said.
  546. 41:35They are sorry that they got caught.
  547. 41:37They may be sorry for the consequences that flow
  548. 41:39from having gotten caught, but they are not sorry.
  549. 41:45I'm not going to intend to delve into the mind
  550. 41:49of Matthew Doubt, but this is not the first thing
  551. 41:52to do to sit off the cuff.
  552. 41:57That's the network trying to cover themselves
  553. 42:00based on the public blow black blowback from what it said.
  554. 42:02But that network has spewed similar things
  555. 42:05over and over and over and over.
  556. 42:08Now, this is where some of you are gonna be
  557. 42:10really rubbed their own way.
  558. 42:11Do you know that Matthew Dowd worked in the George W. Bush
  559. 42:15White House?
  560. 42:22Worked in the George W. Bush White House?
  561. 42:26Why am I saying that?
  562. 42:28Because for the longest time, there are many people
  563. 42:31who have objected to the functioning of the uni party,
  564. 42:36which is why it requires a principled righteousness-anchored
  565. 42:42populist to demand what we require.
  566. 42:51If Charlie Kirk had no following and believe what he believed and even said what he said,
  567. 42:56but was not effective in persuading people to embrace his ideas, do you think he would have been
  568. 43:02murdered, assassinated? I'll answer my own question. No. The reason why the assassin
  569. 43:12trained his sights on Charlie Kirk is because Charlie Kirk was effective. It's no different.
  570. 43:22It's no different than what I read to you today from Acts 14.
  571. 43:27And this is what I mean, there's no different.
  572. 43:29There was no way that the hate-filled adjutants, and I mean hate literally, not like people that
  573. 43:34are saying disagreeing with somebody, oh, that's hate.
  574. 43:37No, it's not.
  575. 43:38No, it's not.
  576. 43:40But the hate-filled adjutants and Acts 14, they started to destroy the Apostle Paul and
  577. 43:45everything he represented.
  578. 43:50Just like in Acts chapter 4, when you had the members of the Sanhedrin after having executed
  579. 43:55Jesus.
  580. 43:56Don't forget that having executed Jesus and then Peter and John
  581. 44:02We're persuading the populace
  582. 44:04There's that oh no no no we cannot afford to allow this to spread
  583. 44:08So what do they do they can't gather them?
  584. 44:12Threatened them first then ultimately beat them and commanded them to speak no more in this name
  585. 44:21history repeats itself and it often rhymes
  586. 44:25But here's a strange thing as persecution
  587. 44:29amplified, when Jesus declared, became evident the gates of hell were not prevailed against
  588. 44:39the church. As persecution amplified, the gospel continued to spread, hence the expression
  589. 44:50that the blood of the martyrs became the fuel for the church. The more they sought to shut
  590. 44:58the Christ followers up, the more the gospel spread.
  591. 45:03My prayer is that the sober reality of where we are as a nation, where our nation has, I
  592. 45:15would argue as a product of a generational neglect and disciple making to where you have
  593. 45:25an insidiously evil ideology that is percolating in our own countries, within our own shores,
  594. 45:34But the love of Jesus Christ and the zealous passion and commitment to him would well up
  595. 45:38in his bride where we would take where we would take his commission seriously and we would seek
  596. 45:51to saturate our areas of the nation that God has afforded us to live in with the love of
  597. 45:56Jesus Christ and the proclamation of the truth.
  598. 45:59It's the same.
  599. 46:05It's very similar.
  600. 46:06It's just Kerry pointed out in the chat.
  601. 46:08They tried to tap President Trump's wires, the full Russian collusion delusion, the false
  602. 46:17impeachment, the false law fair, the 91 indictments, all of the, and when none of that stopped,
  603. 46:26and they literally tried to kill him.
  604. 46:31Again, history repeats itself, but it often rhymes.
  605. 46:35It is the penchant of a totalitarian ideology that says, I cannot contend with my opposition
  606. 46:42And so I must dispense of my opposition.
  607. 46:50It's why you have the precursors
  608. 46:52with what many want to do here in our country wearing,
  609. 46:54and the UK, you have a comedian who's arrested
  610. 46:57because he tweeted the wrong thing.
  611. 47:01And you got people roving around,
  612. 47:03raping women all over England,
  613. 47:07yet you got armed officer that show up at the airport
  614. 47:09to arrest the comedian because he tweeted the wrong things.
  615. 47:14The mighty squared ass circle for me.
  616. 47:24I can't help thinking.
  617. 47:28this morning, Charlie Kirk's wife woke up with no husband.
  618. 47:32The two children woke up and their father is gone.
  619. 47:45The assassin more than likely didn't even know Charlie Kirk personally.
  620. 47:48All they knew was what they heard of him publicly and he wanted to kill what he represented.
  621. 47:52There's numerous videos and you can find them around.
  622. 47:56Charlie Kirk was interviewed one time he was asked if this would have ended today, even
  623. 48:01if he would have died, what would he want to be known for?
  624. 48:03And you know what his response was?
  625. 48:06all of the political participation he's been involved in and participating in helping President
