British PM Keir Starmer provides the latest example of the Hegelian dialectic at work. 31:00 - 48:00. In reality, this whole government shutdown mess is over nothing more than the Democrats' effort to move even closer to a single-payor health care system.

0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
0:07This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
0:11It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
0:15Delivering people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
0:18And the philosophies of this world.
0:20God has called you and me to be His ambassador.
0:24Even in this dark moment.
0:26Let's not miss our moment.
0:28And now the Hamilton corner.
0:34Is this thing on?
0:36Is this thing on?
0:38Check.
0:39You'd have to be tuning in yesterday to know why I'm doing that.
0:42Welcome to the Hamilton corner everybody.
0:44My name is Abraham Hamilton the third.
0:46I am the host of the program joined by the corner contingent right across from me.
0:50My man a hundred grand Mr. Bobby.
0:52And the screening were produced extraordinary often imitated never duplicate yet.
0:59Real J. Mac.
1:00Is he crying?
1:03The real J. Mac, ladies and gentlemen,
1:05a little technical difficulty we had yesterday
1:07was none of our teammates.
1:08We had some engineering assistants that was needed,
1:11but we're back on and ready to go with today's edition
1:14of the program at this very moment.
1:16Many of you, if not most of you,
1:17are making your transition from your part-time jobs
1:20where you generate an income to your full-time jobs
1:23where you cultivate an outcome.
1:24And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so
1:28with intentionality.
1:30You know, I was thinking about this this morning and last night.
1:35What greater cause is there to sacrifice for, if not our children?
1:41You know, we move heaven and earth for all kinds of things
1:45that we've identified as priorities.
1:48But when it comes to our children,
1:51sometimes we accept justifications
1:55and I would never attempt to intrude upon anybody's jurisdiction
1:59or to intrude upon your homes, you know what's going on
2:02within your homes.
2:03But what I have found is that in many instances
2:07where some people might tell me,
2:09you know, anybody here you're talking about
2:10disciplining your children in the home
2:12and not co-parenting with the government
2:14and you know, leaving as Dr. Fodie Bakam would say,
2:18Pastor Bakam would say,
2:21Caesar to cultivate the minds of your children,
2:25but we just can't do it.
2:27And I know we have all kinds of life circumstances.
2:30I mean, there was a time in my life
2:32and my wife and I's lives together,
2:34married where we couldn't afford to become HSLDA members.
2:37We had to set it as a goal to pursue down the line.
2:41And as we set that goal,
2:42we were able to become lifetime members.
2:44This is long before I was ever a member
2:46of the Board of Directors for HSLDA.
2:49But at that time, I was an attorney,
2:51I was practicing law, very comfortable with going to court.
2:53So I didn't want to become a member for my own benefit.
2:56I wanted to be a member to pass it,
2:57kind of pay it forward for other families
3:00to have the comfort and the confidence to know
3:03that if you have any problems with any governmental entity,
3:05you'd have the legal muscle to back you.
3:12But we honestly, we sacrificed for the things
3:14that are important to us.
3:15That's just the bottom line.
3:16I tell you guys all the time,
3:17growing up in the hood, people were poor, but guess what?
3:21People got what they would think
3:22that was most important to them.
3:24That's why we are so used to go to the projects
3:25to try to see the newest cars and things
3:29because those things were important to people.
3:31That's just the truth.
3:32So I just would say to prayerfully consider,
3:36and I know there are lots of variables
3:38that contribute to this.
3:41Sometimes you have one spouse that's willing to do it,
3:44another spouse is not on board,
3:47but what is more important than sacrificing for our children?
3:52What is more important?
3:55So as you're making your way from your part-time jobs
3:57to your full-time jobs, understanding,
4:00if you're in the life stage
4:01or you have young children in your home,
4:02guys you know it flies by it flies by I'm having whiplash you know I had two of my
4:10boys in studio with me yesterday Bobby saw my oldest son he's like hey you have
4:14boys no more you heard you heard that voice hey how you doing mr. Bobby what is
4:18going on well I got hair on this chin and everything you know what's more
4:25important than that man what's more important than that we must
4:29It's batting down the hatches at home.
4:32The first line, if you will, for kingdom engagement, for young people born into the family of Christian
4:40parents, are the parents.
4:42The first line.
4:43And we will either be runways for our children to come to know the Lord or obstacle horses.
4:51They're going to have to, oop, sidestep our demonstrations in order to come to know the
4:59Lord.
5:00We can be runways, pave a smooth path by God's grace.
5:05It's not easy, no doubt about it.
5:08It does entail sacrifice, but can you tell me anything that doesn't entail sacrifice?
5:14I never forget finishing law school.
5:17I had great counsel from a legal mentor to the aid, give the bar exam that we're expecting
5:21deserves.
5:22It took sacrifice.
5:23I had to study 12 hours a day, six days a week for the first bar exam I passed.
5:28Yes, it was a sacrifice, but I'm looking beyond this temporary sacrifice for the
5:33the benefit that I'm seeking to procure.
5:36Anything worth attaining, worth accomplishing,
5:39is going to require sacrifice.
5:41Anything, where are priorities?
5:47To the word of God we go.
5:49Ezekiel chapter 11 is where I want to go today.
5:52By way of reminder, Ezekiel was a by lineage,
5:58a priest who during the Babylonian exile,
6:02the Lord moved him to serve in a prophetic function.
6:07to the exiles in Babylon.
6:11And what we're going to delve into today is a portion of the of a revelation
6:15that God gave to him that I find to be particularly poignant in light of the
6:21things that are happening in our country and some of the things we discussed
6:24yesterday, you know, like 274 plainclothes FBI agents that just happen to be in
6:30the crowd on January 6, 2020.
6:33And just took over four and a half years for us to learn that.
6:36Ain't that something?
6:37You know, you got James, comedy clown being indicted.
6:41He should be the first of a long line of miscreants who use their official positions to work against
6:49the United States of America.
6:50And more importantly, her people, her people in Ezekiel chapter 11, verses one and two.
6:57I want you to see something.
7:00This is what the scripture says.
7:01Moreover, the spirit lifted me up.
7:03This is a spirit lifting up Ezekiel.
7:06over the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the East Gate of the Lord's house, which
7:12faced eastward.
7:14And behold, there were twenty-five men at the entrance of the gate.
7:21Among them I saw Jaz and Ia, son of Azure, and Pelotiah, the son of Beniah, leaders of
7:30the people.
7:32He, referring to the Spirit, said to me, Son of Man.
7:37These are the men who devise iniquity and give evil advice in this city.
7:48These are the men who devise iniquity and give evil advice in this city.
7:57One of the big lifts in my own formation and development, I would study things like the
8:05hope of the wicked.
8:06That's the name of a book and a reading, G. Edward Griffin's, the creature from Jekyll
8:10island concerning the history of the Federal Reserve and learning things in the reality of evil people.
8:21Let me say it better. Evil operating in high places in our nation almost overwhelmed me.
8:29It was hard to look at. I would have to read these books, study these historical pieces.
8:33And those are just a snapshot. Tragedy and hope. All of these things. And I'm like, wow,
8:38Oh, guys, Lord, this is what it looks like
8:40when you said that they're evil in high places.
8:46There are some people who are,
8:48I would call them spiritual useful idiots,
8:49that they don't necessarily know
8:51that they're the agents of evil,
8:52but they're some who do.
8:54In this portion of scripture,
8:56the Lord gives Ezekiel a prophetic revelation,
8:58prophetic insight to identify 25 men,
9:02only names a couple of them,
9:04only names a couple of them,
9:06but they're 25 men who the Lord shows
9:09by his spirit to Ezekiel,
9:10that these are men who devise iniquity.
9:13One of them pelt here, the son of Beniah.
9:17Pelt is name means the Lord delivers.
9:19And his father, Beniah's name means the Lord builds.
9:26What's communicated to us here,
9:27these are people who are supposed to be advocates
9:29for of righteousness, advocates for righteousness
9:33in the positions that they're in.
9:36But instead of being advocates for righteousness,
9:39the spirit of God reveals Ezekiel,
9:41that these are men who devise iniquity.
9:45Brothers and sisters, I know it's hard to hear,
9:48but in our own nation,
9:50we are experiencing the tangible evidence
9:52of people who devise iniquity.
9:57There are people in our nation.
9:59Like as the show goes on,
10:00I'm gonna go in, for example,
10:02this latest government shutdown talk.
10:04There's people talking about the shutdown,
10:06but do you know what it's really about?
10:08There are lots of other details,
10:10but the top line issue that has caused this standoff
10:14between Republicans and Democrats in Congress.
10:16So you know what it is?
10:17We'll get into it.
10:19When you find out what it is,
10:20many of you are going to be spitting mad, spitting mad.
10:27But as Maya Angelou once said,
10:28when people tell you who they are, believe them, believe them.
10:35Brothers and sisters, as hard as it may be to stomach,
10:38it is no doubt that there are people who devise iniquity.
10:44advise iniquity. These are people who set out plots to gain access to positions of influence
10:51in our society and their ultimate objective is evil. Many of them know it, guys. Many of
10:58them know it. Many of them know it. But they worked feverously to reformat what is clearly
11:06evil, clearly evil into something else. I can, for example, there's this cartoon and a number
11:15of them. Another one on Netflix, Obama's
11:17executive producers of it, supposed to be a show that's dedicated to seven year olds.
11:22What are they doing?
11:25Advocating for transgenderism for children.
11:27Talk about how wonderful it is, how great it is, how fantastic it is.
11:31Guys, this is evil.
11:34This is evil.
11:36You got, you know, the British Prime Minister, Khair Starmer, Starmer, talking about digital
11:41ID.
11:42And we talk about devising evil.
11:44This dude had the responsibility of enforcing the laws at a prosecutorial level before he
11:49got into the Parliament and now he's the British Prime Minister and every point along the way
11:54he is advocated for open borders policies in England.
11:57At every step, at every step, and not as Joker has the audacity, they come out and say, hey,
12:03I know some of you are concerned about illegal immigration.
12:06This is why you need to take digital ID.
12:09Like really, the sort of whole time you've been advocating for digital ID and then you have
12:16These parliamentarians are saying, yes,
12:18and this is going to help us with the workforce
12:20to make sure illegals are not able to get jobs
12:22in our country.
12:24We have other presidents saying, time out,
12:26don't we already have,
12:27because we have the single payer healthcare system,
12:29don't we already have this national insurance number
12:32that you can only get if you're an English citizen,
12:35if you're here, we can't use that to make sure
12:38we'll have illegals getting jobs,
12:40we'll have a bunch of other things
12:41that we already have in citizens
12:42that illegals don't have to make sure we can work,
12:46And they keep with the lie, and they repeat the lie long enough.
12:49And repeat it over and over again, and you have the sycophants
12:52and the government media that are willing to go along with it.
12:57I'll give you another one.
12:59The people that decry, oh, this Christian nationalism.
13:03Well, what would you prefer?
13:06Nobody is trying to establish the a theocracy,
13:09but I'm a Christian.
13:11And yeah, you know, I think it's more important
13:13to clean up in my own house before I go to anybody else's house.
13:15So if you want to call me a nationalist, that's cool.
13:17But what would you prefer?
13:19Oh, would you rather an atheistic globalist?
13:24Is that what you prefer?
13:26You know, would you rather have a godless preference
13:28for we are the world?
13:31When people charge you with that,
13:33it's just fine.
13:34So would you prefer me to be an atheistic globalist
13:36or even more a demonic globalist?
13:39What's wrong with me being a Christ follower
13:41who loves the nation of God is planning me in pursuing
13:43to Acts 17?
13:44Why is that a problem?
13:47Because, guys, there are people who devise evil.
13:51They know it's not a problem,
13:53but they want you to think it's a problem,
13:55so you succumb to the propaganda
14:00and enable the pilfering of your own nation,
14:07your own commitment, even a perversion of your own theology.
14:15To get you to take the light,
14:17as opposed to put on a lampstand,
14:19to intimidate you to put Christ,
14:21the light of Christ under a busher, so that you refused to enter the fray of the public
14:27square and be salt and light for the glory of God.
14:33And remember this, for the betterment of your neighbor, the command that we live by.
14:39And there are two as Jesus encapsulated for us that we love the Lord with all that we
14:44are for Christ followers.
14:45And we love our neighbors as ourselves.
14:48We know it's best for neighbors as well,
14:51to have husbands and wives who are married
14:53and love each other and they raise their children together.
14:56That's better for our neighbors,
14:57just as much as is good for us.
15:02A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
15:04The Word of God is the sword of the Spirit
15:06according to Ephesians 617.
15:09Every disciple of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
15:11needs to be a diligent student of the Word of God.
15:14We would be wise to continually learn more
15:16about the spiritual weapons found in the Word of God.
15:19We must continue to learn more about how to do battle
15:21with every spiritual weapon.
15:23Because spiritual conflict is not something we deal with
15:25from only time to time.
15:27We encounter spiritual warfare every day
15:30and everywhere we go.
15:31When we put these spiritual weapons to work,
15:35we're building up the kingdom of God.
15:37Also, as we use these weapons,
15:39we're doing battle against the kingdom of darkness.
15:43Some people may think,
15:43I don't like the idea of having to deal
15:45with spiritual warfare.
15:46But like it or not, we face it every day of our lives.
15:50Let's be faithful to be kingdom warriors
15:52who know how to take some of the weapons we have
15:54in the Word of God and use them to walk in victory daily.
16:06Shiting light into the darkness,
16:08this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
16:12Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton.
16:15The third here, I wanna pull up, Jeff,
16:21because I think I played yesterday,
16:23Kyra Stormer's announcement of Digital ID.
16:28I wanna show his post on the artist form,
16:32let me know on his Twitter, you know,
16:34to illustrate exactly what I'm talking about.
16:36This dude was an open borders,
16:38and soon as you have it up, just go ahead and throw it up there.
16:40An open borders politician, at every stage,
16:43he was a prosecutor who refused to deal with illegal immigrants
16:47who were committing crime, especially Muslim immigrants
16:49in the UK.
16:50At each step of his journey, he was an open borders politician.
16:54Now as British Prime Minister, he advocated
16:56to support open borders policies.
16:58And now, while he's announcing that every British citizen
17:04is required to have a digital ID immediately,
17:07like it's not like they're gonna have a run up
17:08like pretty soon to the end of the year,
17:11but you gotta have it.
17:13This Joker posted, look, it's on the screen
17:15if you're watching the show, if you're listening to
17:17the podcast or you're listening on the radio,
17:19this is what Car Stormer posted, quote,
17:21I know you're worried about the level
17:22of illegal migration into this country. Digital ID is another measure to make it tougher to
17:28work here, to work illegally here, making our borders more secure. When, I'm sorry, I have
17:36as one more line on this post, when has car storm ever wanted to make the borders more secure
17:42in Britain? When? When? And then he ends his post back to the post, quote, ours is a fairer
17:52of Britain built on change, not division in the quote.
17:55So, you know, it's because of something that went down July 4th, 1776, and what happened
18:04thereafter has made it so I don't have to keep up what was going on in Britain.
18:12But I didn't know, put the post back up there real quick, I didn't know that Britain was
18:17based on change.
18:18That's what it's based on.
18:20Did y'all see that?
18:22is, is, I'm sorry, built on, excuse me, not based, built on change. That's what it's built
18:29on. Excuse me. Not only him, you have other parliamentarians that are equally, I would argue
18:38that fall into the category of what Ezekiel recorded as those in positions of authority,
18:46that devise iniquity. You have British parliamentarian Lisa Nandy. She's on TV saying, Hey, listen,
18:55the bridge you, you have to do it.
18:57You gotta get this digital ID.
18:59It'll make you, you might not have to show it,
19:02but you gotta do it because it's gonna make it easier
19:05to verify your right to work, right to work.
19:07Clip number two, clip two, Jeff and Bobby, go.
19:11The major benefit of digital ID, of course,
19:13is that it makes it far easier for employers to check
19:16whether somebody has the right to work here.
19:19So for people who come here and want to work,
19:21it will be compulsory to show it.
19:24For all other UK citizens, it will be compulsory to have it, but not to show it.
19:30People will be able to choose whether they use it or not.
19:33But we think for a lot of people, me included, who spend a lot of time digging out utility
19:38bills and national insurance numbers and copies of passports to prove verification in lots
19:44of different ways, that this will have a big benefit as well.
19:49A big benefit.
19:50I have a big benefit as well.
19:52Yeah, fine, my mind.
19:54I would national insurance number and all and and why am I doing this guy's you have to understand this is a predecessor for
20:01Central bank digital currencies. This is a predecessor in the west of you know
20:06The social credit score in China and it's it's interesting that all of this is unfolding all around the world at the same time
20:13Gee, I wonder why I wonder if there's this entity that has kind of this agenda 2030. Oh, yeah, that's right the world economic forum
20:21So they're kicking this in Britain like digital ideas limited to the employment context.
20:26It's gonna make things better when the reality is go ahead and put the put this image up for
20:31the people, Mr. McIntosh, that you can see that the true objective of utilization of digital
20:39ID just so you can know because you guys it's only a matter of the things that are happening
20:44in England.
20:45They are there are many people in our own nation who are pining for the very same thing
20:50to happen here.
20:51You can see on the screen healthcare at the top in the center of the screen.
20:56They want to use digital identity for healthcare purposes,
20:58where users to access insurance, treatment to monitor health devices,
21:03wearables for care providers to demonstrate their qualifications.
21:06Oh, what's next?
21:07Oh, financial services.
21:09Hmm.
21:10Financial services to open bank accounts carry out online financial transactions,
21:15almost like, oh, well, Mr. Mr. Rosa, you've eaten enough for laymen
21:20on this week, your digital ID card will no longer work to allow you to purchase any more stake
21:25because you've had enough. You and your lovely bride as wonderful as she is. You've had enough,
21:31no need for you to purchase anymore. Then what's next? Oh, yeah! Food and sustainability. Digital ID
21:37will be used for farmers and consumers to verify provenance of produce, to enhance value and trace
21:43ability in supply chains. Oh, and what's next? Travel and mobility. Hmm. To book
21:51trips and to go through border control between countries and regions, you have to
21:56have this digital ID. Now, I remember reading somewhere. I don't know that I
22:00made this. It's a book. It's an ancient text though. Bobby, I remember there was
22:03something on the lines that said that, oh, unless you had this particular
22:06identification, you wouldn't be able to buy or sell. Where did I remember seeing
22:10I mean, oh, I'm not saying his name is Mark.
22:13I'm not saying his name is Mark, but he sure is feeling kind of beastie.
22:17Sure is feeling kind of beastie.
22:20Oh, there's more.
22:21Don't worry, humanitarian response to access services to demonstrate qualifications to work in a foreign country.
22:28E-commerce to shop to conduct business transactions and to secure payments, social platforms.
22:34Oh, you like to be on the social media's and not unless you have this digital ID,
22:39social platforms for social interactions to access third-party services that rely on social media logins.
22:46E-government for citizens to access and use services, you know, like filing taxes. Maybe even to vote.
22:53Maybe even to collect benefits. You're on Social Security. No, you're not. If you don't have your
22:58digital ID, you can do it. Don't telecommunications for users to own and use devices for service
23:03providers to monitor devices. Oh, did I read that right? For users to own and use devices
23:12for service providers to monitor devices and data on the network. And of course, telecommunications
23:19to monitor devices. And since it does anybody else see what I'm seeing, this is for control.
23:26This is for control. Brits are saying we don't need digital ID to identify illegal aliens from
23:32British citizens, we already have stuff that we can do if that's what we want to accomplish.
23:36If that's what we are trying to accomplish, we already have stuff ready for that.
23:42But you got car stormers and no, no, no, no, don't believe your lying eyes.
23:45You know, you're concerned about illegal immigration.
23:49You can we fixed it. You see, you see, you guys were concerned.
23:54Y'all will concern. We fixed it. You see? Digital ID. And once again, you have your people to say,
24:02Oh, guys, there's no different from the way the Federal Reserve Act was sold here in America.
24:08The Federal Reserve Act, which was passed in 1913 after the previous efforts in 1910 failed,
24:14by the way.
24:16They had a different name for the measure, had not done the groundwork to tenderize the culture
24:22to accept it.
24:23But one of the things they did to advocate for the Federal Reserve Act, in terms of it being
24:27accepted popularly, is that they sold American people that this will make better.
24:36banking stable. So we were no longer have to worry about instability in commerce. And what
24:41happened soon after the Federal Reserve Act was adopted? Oh, nothing big, just the Great
24:46Depression, the greatest economic downturn in American history to date, followed the establishment
24:54of the Federal Reserve, which at its very instance already had plans to remove the United States
25:00of America from the gold standard, but they just took their time working toward accomplishing
25:07that objective by simple point here, folks, to highlight this in that image.
25:13This is a publicly available image I provided for you.
25:16This was drawn from the documentation used to discuss digital ID in Britain and guess where
25:22it came from the original source, the World Economic Forum.
25:27Yeah, no that same
25:31Forum that coined the expression bill back better that became a certain candidate for presidents
25:37Campaign slogan remember what that was I ain't saying his name is Martin
25:45Sure is feeling kind of beastie. I share this with you guys to bring this to your attention to watch the Hegelian
25:53Dialectic on display car stormer has been an open borders advocate for entirety of his public life
25:58If and now he's concerned about illegal immigration.
26:01If you believe that, I got a glue for sale.
26:08You know, this is absurd.
26:13Since we're already on the subject,
26:15you wanna talk about deception.
26:19Because I said, this whole government shutdown thing,
26:22do you know what the real cause of it is?
26:26And then of course, there's some ancillary detail,
26:27all work out, put you know what the top line objection is,
26:32where the Democrats are standing off with the Republicans.
26:37The top line threshold issue is that the Democrats in Congress are fighting to extend a higher
26:43threshold for healthcare subsidies originally passed as part of legislation to combat the
26:51COVID-19 pandemic.
26:53Let me explain what I mean.
26:55Remember they had this whole debate in America in Bernie Bernie Sanders?
26:59We need single payer health care.
27:01We need single payer health care.
27:03You know, remember how that was a drum roll?
27:05Remember she said it would be president before she ever ran for president when her
27:08big deal when she was the Mrs. to Bill Clinton, remember? Her thing was, what was it? Healthcare.
27:14Remember that? Remember that? Mm-hmm. And so the big debate back then, oh single pair healthcare,
27:19that's what we needed in America. I'm telling you guys, Hegelian on display. And then Barack Obama
27:23comes to the scene like a knight in shining armor. Boy, have the solution for you. If you like your
27:32doctor, you can keep it. We want to drive healthcare costs down. But for those who want a public option,
27:38We want to have a public option available for them, which by the way, translation with is a public option,
27:43cause American taxpayers to pay their taxes and they either have their own health insurance
27:53that includes a portion of your premiums that are going towards these subsidies for Obamacare
27:58or you pay a tax penalty. Either way it goes, you're going to pay money into other people.
28:03Whoever heard of this phrase redistribution of wealth, you are going to pay money so that people who are
28:07who are in less materially well off, who are poorer,
28:12they can still have health insurance.
28:13That's the whole scheme, right?
28:18President Trump said he wanted to repeal it
28:19in his first term, didn't get to repeal it.
28:21They tried to pass the skinny repeal.
28:23Remember that?
28:24And John McCain shut that down.
28:27Remember that?
28:28Remember all of these things?
28:29So Obamacare never went anywhere.
28:31The only thing that happened was
28:32the Trump administration was able to zero out the tax penalty.
28:35But if you listen to this show,
28:36I told you a zero-out tax putty does to change the fact that Obamacare is still on the books,
28:42which brings us to today's conversation.
28:45The issue right now is that Obamacare created these subsidies, what these subsidies are,
28:50are payments taken from US taxpayers that are utilized to pay for health insurance for
28:57those who are within certain range of the poverty level, as determined by the Congressional Budget
29:02Office.
29:05And these subsidies exist to offset the cost for healthcare premiums.
29:10When initially passed, Obamacare limited those subsidies by income.
29:15So, how much you get in subsidies will be determined by your income.
29:19Offering the top level subsidies, the premium subsidies means you get the most amount of
29:24taxpayer dollars for people whose incomes fell between 100% and 400% of the poverty level.
29:31those who were not as impoverished as those people, they then had the next level,
29:38the next level you had cost sharing subsidies to those with incomes at 100% to
29:43250% of the poverty level. So those up to 400% of the poverty level, they got the
29:48premium subsidies, which means that they paid nothing for their health
29:53insurance. For those at the next level, they had to pay a little bit, which
29:57So let's be candid about what that was.
29:59It ranged generally from about $27 to $50 a month
30:03for these people.
30:05What would happened in 2021, Joe Biden's administration
30:10lobbied for an ultimately Congress passed
30:12the American Rescue Plan.
30:14The American Rescue Plan temporarily lifted
30:18the income thresholds for the top level of subsidies.
30:22All right, the premium level of subsidies.
30:25So you know what?
30:26We're gonna make it more readily available.
30:29you know, the American recipe plate.
30:31And then it reduced the amount of premium payments
30:34for some enrollees at that next level,
30:36for those who are paying some toward their own coverage.
30:41And then with the additional step,
30:43entirely eliminating any buy-in
30:47for those whose incomes fell below 150% of the poverty line.
30:52You see what I'm saying?
30:53So Obamacare created the subsidies in the first place
30:57related to income.
30:59under the Biden administration in light of COVID,
31:02eliminated a lot of the buy-in for some people,
31:05lower the amounts others paid,
31:07and expanded the quantity of people
31:09that paid zero premiums for their health insurance.
31:13Following the American Rescue Plan Act,
31:17the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 expanded
31:21these additional subsidies, the new binary subsidies,
31:25all the way to this year 2025.
31:28those subsidies are set to expire, expire this year.
31:35And I would add in for you that what the Biden era
31:41expansion of the Obamacare subsidies did
31:44is that it extended the applicability of these subsidies
31:46to illegal aliens.
31:51The Republicans are literally saying,
31:53nah, we're not renewing these subsidies.
31:55The Democrats are saying we need to make the Biden expansion
31:59of the Obamacare subsidies permanent.
32:02That's it.
32:03That's really what it is.
32:05Oh, I'm getting to the numbers after this.
32:07Bobby says that's a trillion and a half dollars.
32:09Oh, no, I know it.
32:12And also the net effect of this making these expanded Obamacare subsidies permanent is that
32:23it moves our nation further toward a single payer health system because it will end up in 3 million
32:28additional people losing their private insurance premiums continuing to go up for people with
32:33private insurance, which had the net effect of driving even more people into Obamacare,
32:37which you'll find exploded as a result of the binary subsidies.
32:42It's a slight of hand, which began with Obamacare, that now the Democrats are trying to seize
32:47on this moment to move us closer to a single-payer healthcare system, just like the Brits, just
32:53like Canada.
32:54That's what this government shutdown talk is all about.
33:00When you hear this...
33:03This is American Family News.
33:05You know what follows is the truth.
33:08news from a Christian perspective.

34:01For giving your husband's murderer, this is David Wheaton, host of The Christian World
34:05View.
34:06The Charlie Kirk Memorial Service was remarkable with the repeated proclamation of the Gospel
34:11of Christ and for what Charlie's widow, Erika, said,
34:15On the cross our Savior said, Father forgive them, for they not know what they do.
34:24That man, forgive him.
34:36This is very hard, but for the believer, how can we not forgive when God has immensely
34:42more forgiven us?
34:44Here are most recent programs on the Charlie Kirk Memorial Service at TheChristianWorldView.org
34:49and then tune in this weekend for another topic that will sharpen your worldview.
34:53Listen to The Christian World View with David Wheaton, Saturday mornings at 8 Central on
34:57American Family Radio.
35:04The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Common Terrets are available at AFR.net.
35:10to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
35:15Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner.
35:16Guys, listen, this is what I do.
35:18This is why I'm here for you.
35:21These people are not going to tell you
35:22that this is what they're arguing for
35:23in terms of this government shutdown,
35:24but that's what it is.
35:26And they want to have the extended subsidies
35:29under the Biden administration to be made permanent
35:33and to allow them to be received by illegal aliens.
35:40Prior to the Biden era subsidies,
35:42a number of people who enrolled in Obamacare
35:43was pretty stable. 13.7 million people drew a subsidy in 2019. Now, y'all know, if you've
35:53been following the show, I oppose Obamacare from the very beginning. All right. In 2025,
35:58the number of people received subsidies under Obamacare, more pretty much doubled to 26.7
36:04million people in the first quarter of 2025 alone. The Congressional Budget Office estimates
36:11at extending these subsidies permanently would result in what I told you already, a 3 million
36:19drop in private insurers in terms of people who have insurance privately.
36:25But what's going to happen with those three million people?
36:28Oh, will they end up in the Obamacare exchanges?
36:34It'll cost a trillion and a half dollars to the American taxpayers.
36:40And an additional 6.9 million people aren't estimated to join Obamacare when they receive
36:46an average annual subsidy of over $5,000.
36:50Guys, the whole objective here is to try to fulfill Bernie Sanders' vision from a long
36:55time ago to create a single-payer healthcare system in the United States of America.
37:03That was the goal when Obama came here as first adopted.
37:07They literally concluded, we'll take Obamacare now.
37:11And just like the Federal Reserve Act, we know the gold standard being removed from
37:15our currency and to remove the fiat currency is what we want to go.
37:19Let me know that American people aren't ready for that just yet.
37:21So let's get this in the works and we'll move little by little to the place and then when
37:25they're ready for it, then we'll do it.
37:29This is why he had Richard Nixon when he finally did it, removing America, the gold standard.
37:33He lamented that he feel like felt like he had just sold his country down the drain.
37:43And extending these benefits to illegal aliens is a key component of the Democrats argument.
37:52But you know there was a time when this kind of stuff wasn't merely a Republican conversation.
38:00You had people like Chuck Schumer, you know, the one who's leading the negotiations with
38:05Democrats right now and the one who's responsible for the Democrats threatening a shutdown right
38:10now.
38:11Well, the 1996 when he was little, when he was little, Chuck, you know, Chuck, you know,
38:16Chuck, you know, he had a different approach.
38:19You don't have to take my word for it.
38:23to and watch Chuck Schumer in his own words from 1996,
38:26opposing the idea of providing taxpayer-funded benefits
38:30to illegal aliens.
38:31Clip number five, go.
38:33This is an anti-fraud amendment.
38:36All over where we go, people say, well, why can't you stop
38:41illegal immigrants or others from coming here?
38:45And the number one answer we give our constituencies,
38:48when they come here, they can get jobs, get benefits
38:51against the law because of fraud.
38:54And here the gentleman from Florida has put together
38:57the most effective anti-fraud measure we can find
39:01without it changing the actions of the government one bit.
39:05And we find all this opposition.
39:08Ladies and gentlemen of this chamber, what I worry about
39:12is that this bill, which started out with good intentions,
39:16whether you agree with it or disagree with it,
39:18is gonna end up being the same kind of thing
39:21that the public gets angry with us on.
39:24We say we're doing something and we do nothing.
39:28Because every time someone makes a rational
39:31and small proposal to get something done,
39:36people say, well, what about this hypothetical,
39:38that hypothetical, et cetera.
39:40I urge support of this amendment.
39:42If you believe you want to stop fraud in immigration,
39:45you have no choice but to support this amendment.
39:50That's what young Chuck used to sound like.
39:52You know, not he's the man one leading a guess we'll shut it down. It's just it's just and and I say this
40:03And again highlighting the scripture for me seek you
40:07People that are sitting in positions of influence devising
40:09Iniquity why?
40:11Don't most of the American people know that this is what the fight is all about
40:15What why why like if you talk to your friends and your loved ones and your family members say what they're talking about a shutdown
40:21What is it? What are they arguing about? If we had a
40:25a journalist wing with integrity, every American citizen
40:29I know what I just shared with you.
40:33But no, well they're depending upon, meaning those
40:38who are the agents of evil in Congress,
40:40they are depending upon their cobaliturants in the media
40:44to give them cover.
40:45So the usual talking points of another Republican shutdown
40:49are used to pressure the Republicans to do
40:52what they know they would never have voted for
40:54because the Republicans completely objected to
40:57the binary expansion of the subsidies in the first place, not one Republican voted for it.
41:05But now they're going to use the leverage of a government shutdown or attempt to use the leverage
41:08of a government shutdown to get Republicans to do what they had already expressed they were
41:12unwilling to do. I mean, while I'm talking about it, you remember Joe Biden himself used to be against
41:18illegal immigration. Remember that? When he was a senator, my point in all of this, guys,
41:26is for you to see not just what are the partisan perspectives on these things,
41:31things, but to rightly employ discernment to diagnose chicaneary and wickedness.
41:39Then you have this, it was sad to see how many people were wringing their hands, who Pete
41:46Haggseth is summoning all of the generals from all over the world to Quantico.
41:51What is going on?
41:52What?
41:53He got everybody in one room for one reason.
41:56He said, hey, it's a new sheriff's in town.
42:00whole deal of using the American military as a social experiment to advance the latest
42:06regressive orthodoxy of the day, that's over. That's over. And then there are a lot of people
42:14upset about his comments about having the war fighters meet a physical fitness standard,
42:21a male standard for war fighting
42:28And that has a lot of people upset
42:33Like look if you and our military just because you're a general you shouldn't be born to roll around
42:39But the top of your pants look like fruit roll-ups cuz they fold it under your belly
42:44How you're gonna lead and inspire our war fighters?
42:47when you are the physical embodiment of
42:52Disinterest in war fighting fair
42:54Here, listen to Pete Haggseth, clip number six, go.
43:00Today at my direction, each service will ensure that every requirement for every combat MOS,
43:07for every designated combat arms position, returns to the highest male standard only.
43:15Because this job is life or death.
43:18Standards must be met.
43:19And not just met at every level we should seek to exceed the standard, to push the envelope,
43:24compete, its common sense, and core to who we are and what we do it should be in our DNA.
43:32Today at My Direction we are also adding a combat field test for combat arms units that
43:38must be executable in any environment at any time and with combat equipment.
43:44These tests that look familiar, they'll resemble the Army Expert Physical Fitness Assessment,
43:49or the Marine Corps Combat Fitness Test.
43:53I'm also directing that war fighters in combat jobs execute their service
43:57fitness test at a gender neutral age-normed male standard scored above 70%.
44:07Well, you have people completely losing it over this.
44:12And he said it when he was first nominated to put to the position,
44:17if we're going to have a military whose responsibility is war fighting,
44:20shouldn't we be capable of fighting wars?
44:24And, and this is the thing that, that, that, that I want you to recognize.
44:29And he said in this speech, he said, listen, me communicating the standards we're going to
44:34have and not trying to exclude women.
44:35If they can meet this standard, they can meet the standard.
44:38It's also going to eliminate weak men from participating because they can't meet the standard.
44:44But I want you to be able to zoom out and recognize is that what Pete is driving at a worldview
44:49level.
44:50The undergirding notion is that God has made men and women distinct from one another.
44:56There's a reason why men have differences in bone density and musculature, okay?
45:03There's a reason for that.
45:05There's a physical reality in terms of how God made his image bearers that one is clearly
45:13designed more for the protection function than the other.
45:17It's not saying that there are not roles and other capacity, but in what world will we want
45:22to put our women on the front lines in kinetic warfare?
45:28And now you got people that are doing video games, using drones, you got people in Nevada,
45:34dropping bombs in other countries and all that kind of stuff.
45:36I get all of that.
45:37But we're talking about kinetic war fighting.
45:43And I'm grateful that he's willing to say what should not be the quiet part out loud is
45:48that men and women are different.
45:51We understand that.
45:56We understand that.
45:57This is not a slight to anybody.
45:59But I'm sorry I can tell you the best WNBA team couldn't be the high school all-star team and boys basketball
46:06I'm just telling you the truth one of the primary reasons why is that you're not gonna have a team full of women that's
46:136'10 6'11 7' with a 38 to 40 foot 30 inch vertical a 38 to 40 inch vertical
46:20That's just a reality
46:22The balls that we use are different sizes the women's balls are smaller
46:26There's a reason for that
46:29When it comes to certain aspects of physicality, there's a difference between men and women in one of the main areas where the difference should be recognized and respected is in war fighting.
46:37So what I want you to recognize as in full view of Ezekiel 11 that they're men in high places that advocate for wickedness,
46:49God's is wicked and insidious to assert that maleness and femaleness are mutually interchangeable.
46:56Because it's not. It's not. That's just the reality.
47:03And so Pete Hegg says, speech, the reason why that's such a visceral reaction,
47:07because the wickedness is prevalent in our culture, that the sick of fans to the spirit of the age,
47:11they want mankind to be reduced to an androgynous, indecipherable amalgamation of human goo.
47:19They want a society that embraces the idea that mayo-ness and femialness, no matter interchangeable parts,
47:25They want a society no longer we say fathers and mothers happy fathers day happy mothers day
47:30No, we need parent one and parent two no longer when we say happy mothers day
47:35No, because we have pregnant people we want the spirit of the age wants a society that says that you know well men can get pregnant
47:42And it's absurd. It's absurd
47:46and that is why you have
47:52the visa reactions
47:54That's why so to say hey guys
47:59If you can't get with this program, it might be time for you to find a new occupation.
48:07Even by enforcing these new standards on the services of far exceeding their goals.
48:13Yeah.
48:14So look, in the studio, right on the screen, even with the new standards, all the services are far exceeding the recruiting goals.
48:20That shouldn't be surprising, guys.
48:26And so, what I want you to recognize, guys, is that the way to facilitate having the appropriate
48:36having the appropriate lethality in our fighting forces,
48:40is to understand God's design at a fundamental level,
48:47at a baseline level.
48:49It is not eliminated or ariodite or metropolitan and complex
48:59and forward thinking for you to get basic biology wrong
49:05and to act as if the differences between men and women
49:08have no real world application. That's absurd. So at every point, at every point, and this
49:18is a part of the challenge of being ambassadors of Christ, at every point we have an obligation
49:25to love the truth, adhere to the truth, and to live the truth, to refuse to live according
49:33to a lie. You are entitled to your delusions. You have a constitutionally protected right
49:40to your delusions, but you cannot compel me to live by them. And for those who would try
49:46to use the type of conversation concluding condescension, you must be a Christian nationalist.
49:57Would you prefer I be a demonic globalist, sir? Would you prefer an agnostic globalist?
50:04Would you prefer an atheistic globalist?
50:10Time is short, man.
50:11We must be about our father's business.
50:13And the beauty that we have access to is that if you are in Christ, you have the privilege
50:19of living life from heaven down.
50:21That eternal reality illuminates our temporal engagement.
50:29If you are not yet a member of God's eternal family, look what's going on around you.
50:34Word of God is true.
50:35Heaven is real, so is hell.
