What many fail to realize is that violence, to the regressive, is tactical.

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. 0:16Delivering people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
6. 0:19And the philosophies of this world.
7. 0:21God has called you and me to be His ambassador.
8. 0:24Even in this dark moment.
9. 0:27Let's not miss our moment.
10. 0:29And now, the Hamilton Corner.
11. 0:34Good evening, everybody.
12. 0:35Welcome to the Hamilton Corner.
13. 0:36My name is Abraham Hamilton.
14. 0:38The third I am the host of this program joined by the corner
15. 0:42contingent right across from me, my man, 100 grand, Mr. Bobby.
16. 0:46a
17. 0:50Long one and a lot on my mind this weekend Bob. Yeah, you know get a little Rosa or rolling catharsis, you know
18. 1:01And in the screening we produce extraordinaire often imitate it never duplicated
19. 1:06The real J Mac ladies and gentlemen is
20. 1:09In the screening room and we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program
21. 1:14at this very moment, many of you, if not most of you are making your transition from your part-time jobs,
22. 1:20where you generate an income to your full-time jobs where you cultivate an outcome.
23. 1:27And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality.
24. 1:33If there was never a time before where intentionality was required,
25. 1:39it is most certainly required now.
26. 1:46Like many of you, I have been just praying and reading the Lord's word and
27. 1:55considering the state of affairs and our nation.
28. 1:59We have not gotten to where we are overnight.
29. 2:06We have not gotten here overnight and we're not going to be able to reverse course
30. 2:15overnight.
31. 2:17Not everything is doom and gloom.
32. 2:19There are some good things that are happening in our country, but the overarching
33. 2:22trajectory in our country has been heading in the direction that requires
34. 2:27and about face. We cannot afford to parent on autopilot. If we have young children in our families,
35. 2:39young children in our homes, we cannot afford to let the screens do the parenting. Oh, we don't have
36. 2:50time for it. So put them in front of a device. We don't have time for them. Let them have unfettered
37. 2:57access to the internet. Sure, that won't go right. That'll go swimmingly well. We've got a bat down
38. 3:06down the hatches at our homes. In many ways, in many places, we've allowed the world to
39. 3:12seduce us away from our homes, but there must be a turnaround there. The first human institution
40. 3:24that God created was the family with marriage at the center. He did that intentionally because
41. 3:29the family is central to his kingdom of his kingdom agenda. The family, unsurprisingly,
42. 3:36also central to building thriving society, the family is central to both of those. It behooves
43. 3:51us to recognize that and respond accordingly. So at this very moment, understand this is a
44. 3:56drive time show in the central time zone and some portions of the eastern time zone. And
45. 4:04by God's grace, we have listeners and viewers and other time zones. But guys, we cannot afford
46. 4:10any longer to just be spectators as the world goes on, we have to get engaged.
47. 4:18And I'm saying we because the world is going to world, you cannot expect
48. 4:27darkness to produce light.
49. 4:28Cannot expect it.
50. 4:31This is why the greatest commandment when Jesus was asked, he said, the first is
51. 4:34to love the Lord with all that you are, or your heart, soul, mind, and strength.
52. 4:38And the second is like it to love your neighbor as yourself on these hang the
53. 4:43entirety of the law and the prophets. Love for God will find external expression and
54. 4:52demonstrable overt engagement with our neighbors, not from some critical theorist perspective,
55. 5:03but anchored and armed with the truth of the word of God, which the scripture describes
56. 5:07as the sword of the spirit, sword of the spirit. To the sword of the spirit, we go Hebrews
57. 5:13Hebrews chapter five, Hebrews chapter five, I believe this portion of scripture really
58. 5:20diagnosis much of what is transpired in our country.
59. 5:24In this portion of scripture, the Hebrew writer is describing Yeshua, the Messiah, and
60. 5:34says as much that needs to be discussed concerning him concerning his Messiah should be walks through
61. 5:40the Hebrew scripture to point through.
62. 5:42That's the Old Testament, the point to the fact that we're no longer waiting for the
63. 5:45Messiah, he has come. He has come. Then the Hebrew writer goes on to explain, by now you,
64. 5:55the audience, should be able, should be able to help others to understand what I'm trying
65. 6:04to convey to you, but you can't because you become dull of hearing. And instead of being
66. 6:09sufficiently equipped to help others you have need to be taught again, the elementary principles.
67. 6:16Hebrews 5 verse 11.
68. 6:19Concerning him, we have much to say.
69. 6:23It is hard to explain since you have become dull of hearing.
70. 6:30For though by this time you ought to be teachers,
71. 6:35you have need again for someone to teach you
72. 6:37the elementary principles of the oracles of God.
73. 6:40And you have come to need milk and not solid food
74. 6:43for everyone who partakes only of milk
75. 6:46is not accustomed to the word of righteousness.
76. 6:49For he is an infant,
77. 6:52The solid food is for the mature,
78. 6:54who because of practice, have their senses
79. 6:58trained to discern good and evil.
80. 7:04Let's go back to verse 10.
81. 7:05I say verse 11, I meant to say verse 10.
82. 7:09No, verse 11, I said it right.
83. 7:10I said it right, verse 11.
84. 7:13The Hebrew writer explains concerning him,
85. 7:15that is the priest in the order of Melchizedek,
86. 7:16referring to Yeshua the Messiah.
87. 7:19We have much to say, but it's hard to explain
88. 7:21since you have become dull of hearing.
89. 7:23What the Hebrew writer is saying that
90. 7:24I'm communicating is not in and of itself difficult to communicate.
91. 7:29It is not in and of itself difficult to comprehend.
92. 7:32It is only become difficult for you because your hearing capacity has become
93. 7:41diminished. You have become dull of hearing.
94. 7:44You have made this a complex area not because your intellectual capacity has
95. 7:52capacity has diminished, but there is a hardness that is taken root.
96. 7:59Then the Hebrew right of diagnosis, what is the basis of this hardness?
97. 8:05The basis of this hardness is that there is a muscle that was made to be
98. 8:12exercised, but out of negligence, it has atrophied.
99. 8:17What is that atrophied muscle?
100. 8:18What is the muscle that has atrophied?
101. 8:24The discernment quotient.
102. 8:25The discernment quotient, quotient has atrophied.
103. 8:32Well, how did that happen?
104. 8:34That he would write it explains.
105. 8:37You see, the discernment quotient quotient is made robust
106. 8:42by reason of employment.
107. 8:47Some translations literally say by reason of use.
108. 8:50The way the discernment quotient remains robust
109. 8:53is by routine, repetitious, and constant, constant employment.
110. 8:58If you do pushups on a regular basis, it's more likely that you'll be able to do more pushups.
111. 9:04If you do pullups on a regular basis, it's more likely that you'll be able to do more pullups.
112. 9:08Even if you used to be able to do 25 pullups straight, but then you stop doing pullups.
113. 9:14Let's say you stop doing pullups for two years.
114. 9:18Do you think you'll approach a pullup bar and immediately be able to bang out 25 more pullups
115. 9:25after having not done 25 pullups in two years?
116. 9:29No.
117. 9:30So a capacity that you possessed has actually, it has diminished.
118. 9:37And that diminishment is not because there was something that attacked you.
119. 9:41It was an internal willingness to no longer employ.
120. 9:46That's what the Hebrew writers are explaining because by practicing, by employment, by routine,
121. 9:54utilization, your senses for discernment become trained.
122. 10:02my description of push-up and pull-ups become trained. But when we're not actively engaged in
123. 10:12utilization of the discernment quotient, that muscle atrophies, the atrophy sets in and causes
124. 10:24the one who should be fit to help others, now you have need to be taught again.
125. 10:36Now let me explain something. My purpose here is not to condemn anyone,
126. 10:39not to condemn anyone. Guys, life is real. Sometimes life will mollywop you in a way.
127. 10:46You thought you were on a perch and now you realize, man, hey, Byron, realize I haven't touched a pull up barn two years.
128. 10:53But the purpose of conversations like this is like the scripture says, a brother is born for adversity.
129. 10:59Faithful are the wounds of a friend. It's because God loves us. He refused to allow us to continue on in spiritual,
130. 11:07sedentary living. So we bring things like this to our attention. I've been saying repeatedly that
131. 11:14we are living in the era that the prophet Isaiah warned when good would be called evil and evil
132. 11:19would be called good. We hear routine conversations about this is no longer conventional political
133. 11:25environments, but it's good versus evil. But we are literally living at a time where people don't
134. 11:30understand what is good and what is evil. And one of the major reasons why and again, we don't want
135. 11:38We don't want to embrace this many times,
136. 11:40but there's no silos in our society, you see.
137. 11:44When we as a society decided to say,
138. 11:46well, even though the word of God
139. 11:50is the anchor of what we call Western civilization,
140. 11:52but when we as a society, we become grown enough,
141. 11:57my parents, you say, getting big for your britches,
142. 11:59start smelling ourselves enough to say,
143. 12:01oh, we don't need the Bible for morality, all right?
144. 12:06All right, keep, keep, play stupid games,
145. 12:08win stupid prizes.
146. 12:09All right, you don't need to buy for morality, okay?
147. 12:11you don't need a Bible for morality,
148. 12:13then what's the standard for morality?
149. 12:17Morality then becomes whatever we want it to be.
150. 12:21So then you throw a sprinkle in a little portion
151. 12:24of a sololensky style strategy where he argues,
152. 12:28well you no longer can have conventional political opposition
153. 12:30that you must isolate and demonize your opponent
154. 12:33to make them have a public moniker of bearing evil.
155. 12:41And then we have a gerbil zinc,
156. 12:42which is why I call him gerbil zinc,
157. 12:44we can't have conventional disagreements
158. 12:46about policy and things of that nature.
159. 12:47No, we have a gerbil's ink that is routinely willing to say that person is Hitler, that
160. 12:52person is a Nazi, that person is a fascist.
161. 12:55Notice they never endeavored to define fascism, they never endeavored to define Nazism.
162. 13:01And when they do, they word salad the definitions to intentionally confuse them.
163. 13:10And that is allowed to persist generationally, generationally.
164. 13:20And at the time, we should have a robust populace that's able to help others.
165. 13:24We have need to be taught again to basic principles.
166. 13:27Wait, why do I believe what I believe again?
167. 13:31You know what, yeah.
168. 13:32What, why do I, why do I believe what I believe again?
169. 13:39Because we've assumed certain things.
170. 13:41I get in conversations with people, I ask them,
171. 13:43have you read the document that you were asserting?
172. 13:46And guys, I'm not trying to pop off like a know-it-all
173. 13:47because Lord knows I don't know it all.
174. 13:49I have lots to learn.
175. 13:50One of the things I'm continuing to recognize
176. 13:52that the more I learn is the more I know I need to learn.
177. 13:56The more I read, the more I learn there's more to read.
178. 14:00The more I understand, the more I know I need understanding.
179. 14:07But we have an entirely dumb-down society.
180. 14:11And many of us, you're listening to me, you'll say,
181. 14:13yes, amen, but can I add something to that consideration?
182. 14:15We have an entirely dumb-down society.
183. 14:17We have many people who are church-a-tenders
184. 14:19who don't even read their Bibles.
185. 14:23So when you get a quack who pops up and says,
186. 14:25compassion requires you to embrace critical race theory,
187. 14:28you have scores of people that have to go,
188. 14:29Oh yeah, that's the loving thing to do.
189. 14:32God is love, right?
190. 14:39We have people who hate Christ, who hate His word,
191. 14:43who will then try to weaponize, decontect your life scripture
192. 14:47to put you in a pretzel and render you inactive.
193. 15:01A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
194. 15:05You know, often schools have mass gods of animals
195. 15:07that I'll reflect a certain air of strength
196. 15:10or boldness or something to be admired.
197. 15:13You know, you think of schools with a mascot of the lions,
198. 15:16the tigers, the bears, the bulldogs, the wild cats,
199. 15:20all kinds of mascots.
200. 15:22As I think about it, I've never heard of a school
201. 15:24with a mascot.
202. 15:25It's a sheep, because sheep don't strike fear or terror
203. 15:30or great admiration in their ability
204. 15:32to lead, to conquer, to overcome.
205. 15:35Sheep are very, very helpless.
206. 15:39so many places in scripture.
207. 15:41God alludes to people as being like sheep.
208. 15:45Obviously that's never an insult on God's part.
209. 15:47It's a statement of reality.
210. 15:50And the fact is she desperately need a shepherd.
211. 15:53And we are like sheep.
212. 15:55We desperately need our shepherd,
213. 15:56our good shepherd, the Lord Jesus Christ.
214. 16:05Shiting light into the darkness.
215. 16:08This is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
216. 16:12Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner,
217. 16:13Abraham Hamilton III here.
218. 16:17As I mentioned a few moments ago,
219. 16:19I've just been prayerfully pondering where we are
220. 16:23in our nation.
221. 16:24And I'm convicted that we need to have a conversation today
222. 16:31to change where I hope this will aid
223. 16:35in your assessment of what's transpiring around us.
224. 16:39And I'll explain to you what has prompted this line
225. 16:43of thought for me.
226. 16:46So the world witnessed the wicked, and I'm saying that intentionally, the wicked attack
227. 17:01that took Charlie Kirk from his wife, from his children, from the organization he'd found it,
228. 17:07from the movement that really he'd led, and still processing that. I'm still processing it, frankly.
229. 17:17But I read a lot and I was listening a lot, and I kept seeing things like this Larry Alex
230. 17:24taunton posted on the artist formerly known as X on September 14 at 725 p.m. He posted
231. 17:33quote number of cities burned zero number of stores looted zero number of people murdered in
232. 17:43retribution zero we are not the same in quote i've seen lots of people repeat that idea
233. 17:56There were no cities burned, there was no riots that took place, no reciprocal violence
234. 18:04employed, things of that nature.
235. 18:10That is just that those are true statements.
236. 18:14Those are true statements.
237. 18:17But the thing that is gravely concerning to me is that I don't believe many people understand
238. 18:23why those are true statements.
239. 18:25See, I'm going to posit this idea this way.
240. 18:31of the things that is a that is an overarching reality for people who I describe as regressives.
241. 18:36And I use that terminology drawn from President Calvin Coolidge's 1926 address celebrating
242. 18:43the Declaration of Independence. When he talked about the principles enshrined in the Declaration
243. 18:47are final. There is no advance you can make from the notion that all men are created equal
244. 18:51and things of that nature. Any movement away from those principles so you can only go in
245. 18:55one way backward. That's what Calvin Coolidge said. Hints my description of these people
246. 18:59as regressives. Regressives, no doubt include people that fall under the Marxist panopling.
247. 19:06But with what with what with regressives, what I don't think a lot of people recognize is
248. 19:11that they advocate for regressivism, but they do so borrowing from our worldview. You see,
249. 19:23when you have regressives, for example, calling for justice, that's a that's a terminology that's
250. 19:28that's drawn from our lexicon. If you don't have a fixed law giver, a standard for morality
251. 19:36upon which basis do you employ a term such as justice? So you have to borrow from our worldview
252. 19:44in order to even articulate what it is you're trying to advocate for. The same thing happened
253. 19:50if you remember when President Trump ran and he beat, thank the Lord, she who should never be president,
254. 19:55the original and you had the homosexual male provocateur Don Lemon, Don Lemon Juice, clutching
255. 20:10his proverbial pearls, citing the Billy Bush access Hollywood tape from years prior.
256. 20:17Can you believe what he said?
257. 20:22When as I've explained on this show before Don Lemon was trying to and hoping to get people
258. 20:26like you and me who have a biblical worldview whose morality is based on scripture to take
259. 20:34our worldview and get us to do to manipulate us to do what he wanted us to do, which was
260. 20:39either vote for you should ever be president or at a minimum don't participate at all.
261. 20:43When Don Lemon has no standard at all for what morality is because of his lifestyle practice.
262. 20:49Don Lemon doesn't share your worldview, but he wants to use your worldview, weaponize your
263. 20:57world view against you wanted to. That's what he's taught to
264. 21:00accomplish. That's an example of what I'm talking about here. So
265. 21:09the quote Larry Alex Taunton made who is a writer who I greatly
266. 21:12appreciate and refer to his works before in this program. Zero
267. 21:16cities burned, zero cities looted, zero people murdered in
268. 21:18and retribution. But do we know why that that is the case?
269. 21:27Simply put, I'll speak for myself here. And I've explained my
270. 21:32testimony that I have been described as a conservative in
271. 21:36in terms of civic engagement,
272. 21:38what my civic engagement posture flows from
273. 21:41my religious convictions, my spiritual convictions.
274. 21:45It is right to describe political engagement
275. 21:48as the externalizations of one's faith.
276. 21:51It's true.
277. 21:53People who vote consistently
278. 21:54with what they really, really, really believe.
279. 21:58For me, I am gripped at a heart level
280. 22:03by the Sixth Commandment You Shall Not Murder.
281. 22:09I am gripped by the biblical teachings concerning violence.
282. 22:13I have a transcendent value anchored in scripture
283. 22:18that causes me to behold my neighbor
284. 22:20as a fellow bearer of the image of God.
285. 22:24So for me to abuse my neighbor would be for me
286. 22:28to sin against God, hence my reticence against it.
287. 22:36The reality is that people who share my worldview
288. 22:39have far more firearms than people who don't.
289. 22:46But it's not people who share my worldview, who's sticking up people on the corners
290. 22:50who being referred to as Y ends, even though we can have more guns than anybody.
291. 22:56Why is that?
292. 22:57It's because of our worldview.
293. 22:58Well, consider that in the opposite.
294. 23:02See, what many of us fail to realize is that for people who are regressive,
295. 23:07violence isn't merely a coincidental phenomenon.
296. 23:13Violence is a tactic.
297. 23:17Violence is a tactic.
298. 23:19This is why you see violence employed in certain times, in certain reasons, in certain seasons
299. 23:28after certain events transpire, you can almost predict it like a clock on the wall that, oh,
300. 23:33you need to be careful because something might pop off now.
301. 23:36Why?
302. 23:37Because violence is a tactic.
303. 23:38And I'm going to explain what I mean with support.
304. 23:41If you're watching this show, I'm holding up a little red book.
305. 23:47This book serves as a foundation for much of the ideology that regressive adhered to and
306. 23:55employ at this very moment.
307. 23:59This little red book is the Communist Manifesto.
308. 24:03I'm referring to it not to say that every single line is what is being employed moment by moment,
309. 24:13by step, but the ideology serves as a foundation for the overarching worldview.
310. 24:23What I want, what I'm going to point out to you now, because there've been many who tried
311. 24:25to lie about this, but this is why you go to original sources.
312. 24:28You don't take people's word for it.
313. 24:31You go to original sources from his own words.
314. 24:35I should say their own words, because you had, you know, Karl Marx living with his sugar
315. 24:39daddy, Frederick Ingalls.
316. 24:40And I don't mean that there's a point literally he's living off of this dude.
317. 24:43I mean, it should be enough to cite all of the people who described themselves as Marxists,
318. 24:51you know, Pol Pot, Stalin, Lenin, you know, Mao Zedong, all of these guys, they just happen
319. 24:58to murder millions of people, you know, just the coins, you can win, but beyond that, I
320. 25:03want to get you straight to the source.
321. 25:10And I want to reiterate something.
322. 25:13When Marx and Engels postulate, it's not merely an economic theory.
323. 25:18Guys, this is straight up evil, straight up evil.
324. 25:21I've referred to you before on the shows I've done on Moses Mordecai, Mark's Lovey Demand,
325. 25:25how he would know, he would talk about how the fumes of hell would fuel his mind before he
326. 25:30would write.
327. 25:31This is why Satanists did this very day do all kind of rituals at his grave site at high
328. 25:36gate seminary, cemetery, not seminary, cemetery in England, right to this day.
329. 25:46Marks, that's right.
330. 25:47Another one, Chay Guevada.
331. 25:49Why do all of these regrets to celebrate this dude?
332. 25:52he wasn't even Cuban. He was a mass murderer imported from Argentina. They seem to celebrate
333. 26:03all these folks that did I played his video yesterday who do you have a picture of his
334. 26:07right shoulder? Maude. Beside having an extreme, unbiblical anthropology that reduces all of humanity
335. 26:21into this whole oppressor, dichotomy, you know, where marriage is reduced to, you know, men just
336. 26:30He's using their wives as a means of production and lusting for other men's wives.
337. 26:34It's just absurd.
338. 26:38But Marx described his ideology that advocating for socialism en route to communism.
339. 26:45Communism is always the goal.
340. 26:47Keep that in mind.
341. 26:48I'm looking at you, Zoron Momdani.
342. 26:52Always a goal.
343. 26:53He described his ultimate objective to be the dictatorship of the proletariat.
344. 27:00That's what he said.
345. 27:01The dictatorship of the proletariat.
346. 27:08He specifically described it as history marching inevitably toward a communist future in which
347. 27:13all government would quote, would, would magically quote wither away after a period of sociistic
348. 27:19tatorship of the proletariat.
349. 27:22He never, never to explain how that would happen.
350. 27:24So the dictatorship gets all of this power and then all of a sudden they go to say, okay,
351. 27:29that's enough.
352. 27:30I'll walk away.
353. 27:31Sure.
354. 27:32But let's dig right into the manifesto itself.
355. 27:37If anybody read this or if you read it and this, this is a thing we used to require reading,
356. 27:43I would, I would urge everyone in this audience to read this for yourself.
357. 27:50My children have read that.
358. 27:52We've discussed this.
359. 27:55Marx writes quote in this paragraph, the proletariat will use its political supremacy to rest, to
360. 28:03by degrees all capital from the bourgeoisie to centralize all instruments of production in the hands of the state
361. 28:11i.e. the proletariat organized as a ruling class and to increase the total productive forces as rapidly as possible in quote
362. 28:19I would direct your attention to the first sentence from that paragraph I just read the proletariat will use its supremacy to rest
363. 28:27W. R. E. S. T. Now that's a word that's not employed as commonly today, but it literally
364. 28:32means to forcibly pull against one's will forcibly pull against one's will. Guys, this
365. 28:40is an advocacy for violence. Well, it doesn't stop there. He goes on and it makes it abundantly
366. 28:49clear. First, you should recognize that in in Marx's mindset, the state is the organized
367. 28:56proletariat and it is specifically organized as a dictatorial ruling class, a dictatorship
368. 29:07of the proletariat.
369. 29:11He goes on quote another paragraph, listen closely.
370. 29:14Of course, in the beginning, this cannot be affected.
371. 29:18That is the dictatorship of the proletariat.
372. 29:20Okay.
373. 29:23This dictatorship or the proletariat cannot be affected.
374. 29:28Of course, quote, of course, in the beginning, this cannot be affected except by means of
375. 29:32despotic inroads.
376. 29:37This cannot be affected except by means of despotic inroads.
377. 29:42Let's get out of the dictionary.
378. 29:43What are despotic inroads?
379. 29:46Guys, despotic, the root of it is a despot.
380. 29:51A despot is a synonym for a tyrant.
381. 29:56Move the last time you heard of a peace-loving tyrant.
382. 30:01Whenever you ever seen a we are the world dictator,
383. 30:08despot, marks literally, literally,
384. 30:11not figuratively, literally argued
385. 30:13that his objective cannot be accomplished
386. 30:16without despotic means, despotic inroads,
387. 30:20and that's from the very beginning.
388. 30:24While am I going through this?
389. 30:25For progressives, guys, violence is a tactic.
390. 30:30Violence is not a coincidental occurrence.
391. 30:33Violence is not something.
392. 30:34Oh man, I lament why it's happened.
393. 30:42You ever wonder why?
394. 30:44Man, I knew our country was wild,
395. 30:46but I didn't realize it was so many people
396. 30:49that we were willing to celebrate a man's murder.
397. 30:52Like, and you're not just talking about the purple hair,
398. 30:55crazies, you know, in the Pacific Northwest.
399. 30:59No, you have, you know, medical professionals,
400. 31:02and HR departments, and teachers, and schools,
401. 31:04and professors, and colleges.
402. 31:06Oh, so, oh, oh, what'd you say?
403. 31:08Military members, you have across the entire scope of the American populace, you have people
404. 31:15that are celebrating Charlie Kirk's murder.
405. 31:17How did this happen?
406. 31:23And then you have someone to say, well what happened to the Constitution that's protection
407. 31:27of free speech?
408. 31:28Time out player.
409. 31:30The First Amendment protects you from being jailed for saying what you want to say in
410. 31:33expressing of opinion, but the First Amendment doesn't give you the right to advocate for
411. 31:36violence.
412. 31:38Nor does the First Amendment protect your private employer,
413. 31:42protect you from your private employer,
414. 31:44including, oh, snap, I don't want crazy people
415. 31:47who celebrate murder on my staff.
416. 31:52But why do you think there were so many people
417. 31:54that were all, and I'ma play some of this stuff,
418. 31:57and this is grotesque, and I'm not gonna play
419. 31:59some of the most egregious forms of it.
420. 32:02Why do you think these people are so comfortable with it?
421. 32:04Because for them, violence is a tactic.
422. 32:10You try these other things,
423. 32:11Today, you can't work.
424. 32:13They don't work anymore.
425. 32:14They're not involved.
426. 32:14They can operate.
427. 32:15So we'll resort to violence.
428. 32:17And I'm talking more generally, more broadly,
429. 32:20than just what happened last week.
430. 32:22But I want you to understand why,
431. 32:24that there's so many people in our country,
432. 32:26that are okay with it.
433. 32:27Because for them, violence is just another one
434. 32:30of the tools and the tool belt.
435. 32:33And I'm communicating this to us today,
436. 32:35so we can understand it.
437. 32:37So we shouldn't stop and say,
438. 32:39you know, no, no burned cities, no looted stores.
439. 32:43There's a difference between us.
440. 32:44No, we need to say, no, your willingness to use violence as a tactic causes you to no longer
441. 32:49be welcomed in civic discourse and engagement.
442. 33:01God is at work and he's calling his people to rise in truth.

457. 34:02Hello.
458. 34:03She's a friend of mine who we were just praying for because of a surgery she just went through.
459. 34:07Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually talk about all the time, which is?
460. 34:12Metachary.
461. 34:13That is right.
462. 34:14So what was your experience like with Metashare
463. 34:16and the healthcare bill?
464. 34:17Honestly, brand seamless.
465. 34:19And what a blessing that is,
466. 34:20when you're already nervous about a health issue,
467. 34:22which I was, members shared my expenses.
468. 34:24There were zero problems.
469. 34:26And let me tell you, having people pray with you
470. 34:29when you call in with your need, that is just, I.
471. 34:31It is refreshing.
472. 34:32Yes, that's what it is.
473. 34:33But I keep telling people,
474. 34:34people love Metashare and they love saving tons of money
475. 34:38to the typical family can save $500 a month.
476. 34:41I am very thankful for MetaShare.
477. 34:44It is so different, and I mean different
478. 34:46in a very, very good way.
479. 34:48It is good, different.

485. 35:00The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Common Terrets
486. 35:07are available at eafr.net.
487. 35:10Back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
488. 35:15Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here.
489. 35:18Mark's literally wrote, of course, in the beginning, this cannot be affected except by
490. 35:21means of despotic inroads on the rights of property and on the conditions of bourgeois
491. 35:29production by means of measures, therefore, which appear economically insufficient and untenable,
492. 35:36but which in the course of the movement outstripped themselves necessitate further inroads upon the
493. 35:44old social order and are unavoidable as a means of entirely revolutionizing the motor production,
494. 35:50end quote. What does all of that mean? Translation in order for us to do what we want to do,
495. 35:55we're going to have to stomp the snot out of a lot of folks. That's literally what this dude is saying.
496. 36:03It's literally what he's saying. Marx even goes so far as to mock people who profess to be socialists,
497. 36:14but they were weirded out by the whole violence thing. You know, they were like,
498. 36:17Oh, no, we want we like your ideas about the the communist stuff, but we don't want the violence
499. 36:22part of Marx, mock them.
500. 36:24Marx literally says that they were naive.
501. 36:30He wrote quote, they naively, no, they naively quote wish to attain their ends by peaceful
502. 36:36means.
503. 36:38But that effort is necessarily doomed to failure.
504. 36:42End quote.
505. 36:44So he literally mocked people who was saying they wanted the end that he wanted, but they
506. 36:48They were unwilling to invest themselves into utilizing violence to accomplish it.
507. 36:52He mocked them saying that they were woefully naive.
508. 36:57They want to try to do this by peaceful means.
509. 36:59You can't do this by peaceful means.
510. 37:00That's necessarily doomed to failure.
511. 37:05He concluded by saying, quote, in short, the communists everywhere support every revolutionary
512. 37:10movement against the existing social and political order of things.
513. 37:14They openly declared that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of
514. 37:21all existing social conditions."
515. 37:27The forcible overthrow.
516. 37:29What is force?
517. 37:31What's a forcible overthrow, Bobby?
518. 37:34I went to public school until I got to ninth grade, Bobby.
519. 37:37What's the forcible overthrow?
520. 37:40Huh.
521. 37:41Huh.
522. 37:43The forcible overthrow.
523. 37:45And then how much is included in all?
524. 37:47He said the forcible, it can only be attained by the forcible overthrow of all existing social
525. 37:52conditions.
526. 37:54How much is included in all?
527. 37:58That's what I thought.
528. 38:00All.
529. 38:02I'm doing this guys because it is only when you recognize that this is a playbook, they
530. 38:09run in their power slam from, you know, that's the I have 44 powers football play, you know,
531. 38:17playbook that they're running from or the sheet of music that they're
532. 38:20playing from has as a tactic violence. So it is only when you understand that
533. 38:29that you will then be able to understand this. Listen to this is a little
534. 38:33sampling of how people from all walks of life responded to a 31 year old
535. 38:40young man being shot in front of the whole world for having the audacity to
536. 38:46have a belief system to speak it publicly to proclaim his faith in Jesus Christ and the
537. 38:52application of his faith to public life for having the audacity as an American citizen
538. 38:56in the United States of America to believe it, to speak it publicly. And here's the biggie
539. 39:00to be effective and persuading others to embrace his ideas. He was murdered. Yet this is our
540. 39:09other Americans respond. Clip two, clip two, go. Some of those celebrating the assassination
541. 39:16of Charlie Kirk Online are
542. 39:18the first amendment prote
543. 39:20people don't understand th
544. 39:22protection from being arre
545. 39:25in jail for what you say
546. 39:29you from losing your job
547. 39:32be an export, firing a fi
548. 39:35for calling Kirk and evil
549. 39:38rhetoric. The carolina pant
550. 39:40a communications coordinator
551. 39:43with a Wu Tang Clan song
552. 39:45Kirk died from a shot to the neck.
553. 39:47DC Comics canceled a new book series
554. 39:50after the author wrote a post saying,
555. 39:52hope the bullets okay after touching Charlie,
556. 39:54Ole Miss and Middle Tennessee State University
557. 39:57firing employees for sharing insensitive comments
558. 40:00about Kirk, a high school teacher in Maryland
559. 40:03under fire for writing, wrong guy,
560. 40:05but we'll take what we can get, I guess.
561. 40:10Think about that.
562. 40:13You got shot in the neck and you gonna post
563. 40:16Wu-Tang Clan lyrics and protection neck.
564. 40:20Guys, this is just, look, I told you, medical professionals,
565. 40:22military professionals, across the broad cross section
566. 40:27of our society, you have people responding that way,
567. 40:29because for them, violence is a tactic, world view wise.
568. 40:34I'm not saying individually, each of them
569. 40:36would perpetuate the violence, but notice,
570. 40:40they wouldn't mad at it, a lot of them did not mad at it,
571. 40:50and all of this brings me back to the reality of discernment.
572. 40:54So it's amazing to me that when these types of things happen,
573. 40:58then some of the same people, many of them are regressive in inclination,
574. 41:02regardless of their partisan affiliation. Yeah.
575. 41:04People like David French and others, this is a time for unity.
576. 41:07It's amazing how so many so-called conservatives are willing to participate
577. 41:11in cancel culture. Like really do that. Now, now you want to say that?
578. 41:16That now you want to say that? Really? And what is it?
579. 41:21It is an entire lack of discernment. Guys,
580. 41:24understand that unity in and of itself is not a biblically sanctioned objective.
581. 41:31Remember, Genesis 11, there was this thing called the Tower of Babel.
582. 41:35We had a whole bunch of human beings that were, they were unified. All right. Sure.
583. 41:40They were unified in what? Unified in rebellion. Unified in rebellion.
584. 41:47Guys, we must employ discernment. We cannot be the violators in Hebrews 5.
585. 41:54We must employ discernment. Unity is not an objective in and of itself to pursue. We must seek unity
586. 42:02in righteousness. Today, Vice President J.D. Vance hosted Charlie Kirk's talk show. And he talked a
587. 42:11little bit about that. Listen to him and watch clip number one, clip one, go. There is no unity
588. 42:16with people who scream at children over their parents' politics. There is no unity with someone
589. 42:22who lies about what Charlie Kirk said in order to excuse his murder.
590. 42:26There is no unity with someone who erases an innocent family the day after the father of that family
591. 42:32lost a dear friend. There is no unity with the people who celebrate Charlie Kirk's assassination.
592. 42:39And there is no unity with the people who fund these articles, who pay the salaries of these
593. 42:44terrorist sympathizers, who argue that Charlie Kirk, a loving husband and father,
594. 42:50deserved a shot to the neck because he spoke words with which they disagree.
595. 42:57Did you know that the George Soros Open Society Foundation and the Ford Foundation,
596. 43:02the groups who funded that disgusting article justifying Charlie's death,
597. 43:06do you know they benefit from generous tax treatment? They are literally subsidized by you,
598. 43:12and me, the American taxpayer, and how do they reward us? By setting fire to the house built by
599. 43:18the American family over 250 years.
600. 43:22I'm desperate for our country to be united in condemnation of the actions and the ideas
601. 43:28that killed my friend.
602. 43:29I want it so badly that I will tell you a difficult truth.
603. 43:34We can only have it with people who acknowledge that political violence is unacceptable and
604. 43:40when we work to dismantle the institutions that promote violence and terrorism in our
605. 43:46own country.
606. 43:49What we need guys is a Psalm one resolve as a nation
607. 43:57People abuse the scripture take it out of context
608. 44:00You're christian you shouldn't judge wrong the Bible commands me to judge
609. 44:04But the Bible teaches is that I am not God. I do not have the authority to put anybody in
610. 44:11Heaven or put them in hell
611. 44:13But I have a duty living on this planet to evaluate
612. 44:18and make prudent decisions in light of
613. 44:21of that evaluation.
614. 44:23What we need is a Psalm one resolve.
615. 44:26Psalm one says this,
616. 44:27how blessed is the man who does not walk
617. 44:31in the council of the wicked,
618. 44:33nor stand in the way of sinners,
619. 44:36nor sit in the seat of scoffers.
620. 44:40But as the light is in the law of the Lord
621. 44:43and in his law he meditates day and night,
622. 44:45he will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
623. 44:49which yields its fruit in its season
624. 44:51and its leaf does not wither.
625. 44:53And in whatever he does, he prospers.
626. 44:55The wicked are not so,
627. 45:00but they are like chaff, which the wind drives away.
628. 45:03Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
629. 45:07nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
630. 45:09For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
631. 45:11but the way of the wicked will perish.
632. 45:14What the scripture requires for you and me
633. 45:17is that before we hitch our wagon in any direction,
634. 45:19We have a God ordained duty to evaluate what is righteous and what is wicked.
635. 45:29You want to enjoy the maximized flourishing on this side of eternity?
636. 45:34God has given directions.
637. 45:36Step 1, how blessed is the man who refuses to walk in the counsel of the wicked?
638. 45:45God requires me.
639. 45:47God requires you.
640. 45:49before we ascribe towards any ideal,
641. 45:51before we participate in any movement,
642. 45:54before we join ourselves to any contingent,
643. 45:57we must assess, is this a wicked contingent
644. 46:01or is this a righteous contingent?
645. 46:05A couple suggestions in assessing righteousness
646. 46:08versus wickedness.
647. 46:10The first thing is that it's not righteous
648. 46:12and so wickedness according to a humanistic standard.
649. 46:15The standard is God's own standard.
650. 46:21couple guiding principles. Life. Does the idea or principle or
651. 46:28movement presenting? Is it one that is presented from a
652. 46:32foundational understanding that life is sacred because life is
653. 46:37the byproduct of the giver of life? If the notion the idea, the
654. 46:42movement is hostile to the sacredness of life is probably
655. 46:47more akin to the wickedness that the scripture compared commands
656. 46:51me to avoid the idea of liberty. Liberty must be understood as something
657. 46:59contradicting the notions of autonomy. Autonomy sounds a lot like every man that
658. 47:07was right in his own eyes. Liberty is the freedom to function liberally within
659. 47:14God's ordained order. If it's a pursuit of liberty, is it consistent with God's
660. 47:22order for liberty or is it
661. 47:24violative of God's order for
662. 47:27liberty? If it's consistent with,
663. 47:30it's probably more likely to fall
664. 47:33in the category of toward
665. 47:35righteousness. If it's
666. 47:36violative of God's ordered
667. 47:39liberty, it's more likely to fall
668. 47:40in the category of the wicked.
669. 47:43Another, just these are just
670. 47:44guiding principles, not
671. 47:45exhaustive, but just guiding
672. 47:47principles. The pursuit of
673. 47:52happiness does the principle or
674. 47:54idea or movement facilitate maximize human flourishing or does the principal
675. 47:59militate toward a contraction or an elimination of human flourishing? These
676. 48:05are guiding principles. This is why I love our brothers at the Cornwall Alliance,
677. 48:10who seek to steward the earth for mankind's maximized flourishing, the
678. 48:16prosperity of mankind, the elevation of the poor from poverty, not to keep them
679. 48:22shackled in poverty to remain a group of people that we can abuse our own political
680. 48:26objectives and agendas. This is why I've warned. If you ever have somebody saying that we are the party or the candidate of the poor,
681. 48:34what do they need to stay in power? They need poor people. The scripture, not Charlie Kirk, not Abe, not Bobby, not Jeff, not any person.
682. 48:45God through his word says, blessed is the man who does not walk in the council of the wicked. I've explained before that
683. 48:54Psalm employs the term walking in the Council of the Wicked as indicative of one's manner of living.
684. 49:00Blessed is the man who doesn't live with the guidance and the instruction and the shepherding
685. 49:07and the shaping of wickedness governing your life engagement. No, the Blessed Man refuses to walk
686. 49:16in the Council of the Wicked. We can no longer afford guys to passively do kind of an all-sides
687. 49:25evaluation of everything. We have to discern wickedness from righteousness. And Hebrews 5
688. 49:32explains that we started the show with the reason why we become dull in our capacity to
689. 49:38functionally apply the discerning mechanism is because we have neglected to do so. It's
690. 49:45time to get off the couch. One of the first features of the get off the couch ministry is
691. 49:49that your senses for distinguishing good from evil. And as Charles Spurgeon said, right from
692. 49:55almost right must be put into practice.
693. 49:59We gotta put it into practice.
694. 50:01And once we have clarity as to what is righteous
695. 50:04versus what is wicked that we should have the wherewithal
696. 50:07to say so.
697. 50:10There are objectives here are not merely too pontificate
698. 50:14about the musings of the day,
699. 50:16but to love the Lord so much that we love our neighbors
700. 50:18sufficiently to say, hey yo, that's wicked.
701. 50:22I ain't participating in that because that's wicked.
702. 50:25And if you want to enjoy what God has for you, you should refuse to walk in the counsel of the wicked.
703. 50:31May God open our eyes and move our hearts to be obedient servants.
