0:01Darkness 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.
0:16Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
0:19And the philosophies of this world.
0:21God has called you and me to be His ambassador.
0:24Even in this dark moment.
0:27Let's not miss our moment.
0:29And now, the Hamilton Corner.
0:32Good evening, everybody.
0:35Welcome to the Hamilton Corner.
0:37Abraham Hamilton III here.
0:40Ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program.
0:43I was delayed getting started in the program
0:45because our team here is wanting to distract me
0:47with conversations about laying Kipp and LSU,
0:50to which I just simply say, even when Ole Miss wins, they lose.
0:54Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
0:58He is a bad man!
1:02Even when they win, they lose.
1:05Best season in history of the school,
1:06lose a coach immediately.
1:08Ain't that something?
1:10I won't go into all of that.
1:12Needless to say, there was much discussion about that
1:14before coming on the air.
1:17The payers, they're gonna be more discussion.
1:19The some folks don't wanna leave the screening room.
1:22At this very moment, many of you,
1:25if not most of you are making your transition
1:27from your part-time jobs where you generate an income
1:29to your full-time jobs where you cultivate an outcome.
1:32And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so
1:35with intentionality, understanding the primacy that God places on family.
1:41And I'm not selling out to the highest bidder.
1:50I mentioned I'm Abraham Hamilton III.
1:52I'm the host of this program.
1:54I am joined by the corner contingent right across from me, my man, 100 grand Mr. Bobby
1:57Herr, Rosa, man in the screening room produced extraordinaire often imitated but never duplicated
2:04the real J. Mac.
2:06he is accompanied by a friendly neighborhood
2:08with a holoc perpetually in recovery.
2:12Mr. Marty Sparks, ladies and gentlemen,
2:13as we do intend to open the phone lines, this program,
2:16I'm grateful to be back in studio, had a wonderful Thanksgiving
2:20holiday with my family.
2:23However, we talk about this all the time.
2:25Thanksgiving for the believer is never
2:27meant to be a particular Thursday in November,
2:29but it's actually a consistent disposition that we enjoy.
2:37And I'm excited to be able to do so.
2:39So many things are happening in the world.
2:42I'm glad to be in studio again.
2:45I do have some vacation time coming up toward the end of the year.
2:49And I'll talk more about that as we get closer, but how we strapped in as we head
2:54toward the end of the year by Lord 2025.
2:58So much is happening in the world, man.
3:00So much is happening in our nation.
3:01thinking about things internationally is because
3:06who I'm married to, I have the opportunity to peruse
3:10Spanish media sometimes and boy oh boy oh boy you should hear how they're talking
3:14about
3:15Maduro in hiding. Oh yeah
3:19oh yeah he's apparently vacated
3:22Venezuela and he's in hiding in another country
3:26some say he's in Nicaragua and the people are pining from President
3:33in the Trump, but I just and I said this and I don't mean to be offensive in saying this,
3:37but the Venezuelan people want to have, you know, Marubio, President Trump to rescue them
3:46from their decision to elect Hugo Chavez. I have a long say in our opinion, say you only
3:52get to vote for socialism once we will be prudent in our country to take heed to the
4:01negative examples that are swirling all around us. Never has socialism because it's a demote
4:08that is programmed to to bludgeon the people were subjected to it into poverty, destruction, and death frankly.
4:20To the word of God we go. Colossians chapter two is what we're going to begin the program today.
4:28A portion of scripture we've talked about before, but unfortunately we are living in a time period to where much of what the scripture has warned about is coming to fruition before our very eyes.
4:41our very eyes and I'm gravely concerned, not many of us recognize truly where we are.
4:51Colossians chapter 2, we've talked about this in the past, which is why I'm going to just
4:57zero in right on verse 8. The chapter begins with the Apostle Paul warning the Colossian
5:07believer against beguilement or delusion, which is seduction that is, sorry, which is deception
5:14that is connected to seduction.
5:17And when I say seduction,
5:18don't confine that idea to some type of
5:22puriant interest in the kind of sexualized context.
5:28People are seduced by things like free money.
5:33People are seduced by free this, free that,
5:36free things are seductive,
5:38which is why demagogues and politicians use that kind of
5:41enticement on a regular basis.
5:45But Colossians chapter two verse eight says,
5:47this is C to it, this is the Apostle Paul
5:50inspired by the Spirit of God,
5:52writing to the believers in Colossae.
5:57And the Lord says to the Apostle Paul to the believer,
5:59C to it, that no one takes you captive,
6:04that no one takes you captive
6:08through philosophy and empty deception,
6:12according to the tradition of men,
6:16according to the elemental, elementary principles
6:20of the world rather than on Christ.
6:24Guys, this is one of the verses in scripture
6:27that punctuates the absolute necessity
6:32and the enduring necessity of cultivating
6:37a biblical view of life,
6:42a biblical worldview.
6:45The scripture reveals that having a biblical worldview is the way to fortify yourselves,
6:53to fortify ourselves against deception that leads to captivity, deception that leads to
7:07destruction.
7:08And it's important that we understand it in these terms.
7:12As I mentioned in this same chapter in verse 4, Paul initially states I'm writing, so
7:17that you would not be beguiled, so that you would not be deluded, that delusion if left
7:22unchecked, if left unconfronted and left uncasted, not cast down, if not combated vigorously,
7:33vigorously combated. It will, not may, it will end in captivity.
7:43The scripture has given us that warning. And in many ways, man, we have sauntered and
7:52And we have, you know, I was just thinking about how many people I came across in my own life
8:01who said, Oh boy, man, we sure ate a lot on Thanksgiving.
8:05And I'm just like, you don't even realize how rare that statement is in all of human history
8:10over time in and let alone in our current time.
8:15How many nations of the world do you think people can say, Oh boy, we ate so much.
8:22We ate so much.
8:23Guys, that's a relatively rare phenomenon currently, and it is an objectively rare phenomenon
8:33historically.
8:39But in our time, and our brother Rick Green was sharing this one, I was in his shop a couple
8:47weeks ago, how in the cycle of nations, when you get close to about the 250th year, which
8:52we are approaching, the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence is next year
8:582026. That's when you normally see the deviation. You know,
9:05whole cycle, strong men makes good times, good times make
9:07weak men that whole cycle that that's been discussed. I've
9:10discussed it as well. I think we have failed to understand
9:18just when I say we, I'm talking about the body of Christ
9:21generally in our country. Certainly there are exceptions. I
9:25believe this audience is an exception. I believe those who
9:29are new to this audience are joining the exception. But I'm
9:34sharing this in the hopes to provide encouragement and equipment to warn and share with others.
9:43I think many among us, our fellow citizens, fail to understand how rejecting God's view of his world,
9:53rejecting God's view of his world. That's right. Tittler's cycle of nations. I've talked about that.
9:59Good eye, Kurt.
10:04Rejecting God's view of His world leaves us imperiled.
10:10I don't think people understand and appreciate the significance of that.
10:16When mankind rejects God's view of His world, the world that He created, the world of Scripture
10:20says that is His and the photos thereof, we and those who dwell therein.
10:26We become the casualties of that rejection.
10:29That is what I don't think people fully understand or appreciate.
10:39The scripture tells us plainly, see to it, that no one takes you captive.
10:46What is the mechanism of that captivity?
10:48I'm glad you asked.
10:50Through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary
11:00principles of the world, this is a way that the Romans want phenomena out of men refusing
11:05to worship the Creator, but worshiping the creature.
11:10develop traditions in rebellion against God's view of his world. Then we pit man's world,
11:18sorry man's word or man's view against God's word and God's view. And if and when we embrace man's
11:28view in man's word, we end up suffering. Guys, that is literally what the Hebrew scripture in the book
11:36of Judges, for example, explains, God delivers man.
11:43Man enjoys God's deliverance temporarily and temporarily.
11:51A generation arises and does not know the Lord.
11:55It results in those people enduring untold pain.
12:00The people cry out to God for deliverance.
12:04God delivers them in the cycle repeats and the cycle repeats.
12:11We've embraced ideologies like the wicked ideology to sever the pleasure of physical
12:21intimacy from the covenantal context of marriage and the intrinsic component of childbearing.
12:26And we put ourselves on the course for self-annihilation, demographic winters all over Europe, demographic
12:34winters in Japan, demographic winter comes home to America. And our city of Syria is not
12:43reproducing at replacement rates. Then the argument becomes we need as a matter of necessity
12:52immigration in order to sustain our population. Historically, the idea was America being the melting
13:03pot e pluribus unum out of many one. People come from where they come from to become American,
13:09not to come to America to wave other people's flags, to celebrate other people's flags and to
13:17to burn American flags?
13:19That's not would it,
13:21just to be, but that's what it's become.
13:25We have, are you gonna hear this in a few moments?
13:28A candidate for Congress in Tennessee,
13:30special election actually happened tomorrow.
13:33Says she envisions herself, she had a dream, you see.
13:36Talking to a therapist about it.
13:38I don't, she's screaming, I don't want children,
13:40I want power.
13:44Now she's seen Marty's face.
13:45We got the clip, we're playing for you.
13:47Come next segment actually.
13:50I don't want children, I want power.
13:57Statement is breathtaking in and of itself.
13:59But when we open the phone lines, I wanna ask the question,
14:01how widespread have you encountered that idea being spewed?
14:07When we open the phone lines, I wanna ask you,
14:11have you heard this in your regular life?
14:13Not just somebody talking about it on the radio
14:15and some public presentation of some sort,
14:18but in your everyday lives.
14:19Have you heard people saying these types of things?
14:22Not just women, men and women,
14:25But to have a woman who is hardwired biologically
14:28to be a mother, to say, no, no, no, no, no,
14:30I don't want to be a mother, I want power.
14:35That's wild, man.
14:37That's wild.
14:39When we reject God's view of his world,
14:42we imperil ourselves.
14:45The failure to ascribe to God,
14:50the gravity that is necessary concerning his holy word,
14:55has put us in a very, very precarious position.
15:05A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
15:08What are some biblical characteristics
15:10and some biblical standards that help us see
15:13and define what a godly man looks like?
15:16Here are a few.
15:17Number one, he has received Jesus Christ
15:20as Lord and Savior of his life.
15:23Number two, he seeks to read the word of God daily for himself.
15:27Number three, he spends time daily in prayer.
15:32Number four, he seeks to have a time daily
15:34to bring the family together to read the Word of God,
15:37teach from the Word of God and pray together.
15:41Number five, he takes and or makes time to train
15:44and instructs his children.
15:46Teach them about God, the Word of God
15:49and teaching them wisdom for all ears of life.
15:52Number six, he seeks to lead and take his family
15:55to church regularly, such as worship service
15:58Sundays and Bible studies on Wednesdays. Number seven, he has a sense of mission in his life.
16:13Shiting life into the darkness, this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
16:19Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here.
16:24God's Word must be given appropriate gravity because it is, and I don't mean to be dramatic,
16:30It is God's Word. Because of our ease of access and the frequency of exposure I was talking to even
16:41recently, I had the privilege of growing up in my home church that we had somewhere I seized in
16:45saints. And this is in the 90s, to mid to late 90s. Some of the sisters who were part of our
16:55evangelism, not evangelism, missionary team, and they would smuggle Bibles into China. And they would,
17:00They would probably shouldn't say this on the air,
17:03but they would take the Bibles, let's just say this one.
17:08They would do with Bibles with drug dealers
17:10who do try to get drugs into our country.
17:11I'll just say it that way, leave it there.
17:13I know this in the late 90s,
17:15they're sure they've changed strategies by now.
17:17But I am confident that these sisters helped
17:22some of the house churches to become as fortified
17:24as they are currently because they got Bibles there.
17:27But the house churches valued the word of God so much,
17:30And we would intentionally smuggle Bibles in
17:34in the man in Mandarin and in the various dialects.
17:38But they valued the Lord's words so much,
17:40they were saying, no, no, no, we don't want to be greedy.
17:43We'd only like to have one Bible per house church.
17:46If you can get the Bibles to us,
17:48we will hand copy our Bibles for our people.
17:55But all we need is one.
17:56You can take the others to the other house churches.
18:01But in many of our families, even in our number of even homes,
18:02They got Bibles on mental pieces and things,
18:05but they don't value it as God's holy word.
18:07And that's how we treat God's word practically,
18:11that we think and act as if we escape unscathed
18:16by rejecting God's word.
18:20And I'll just say it just as the Apostle Peter wrote,
18:24y'all tripping God is not slack concerning his promises.
18:28He's just long suffering,
18:32but don't think long suffering is synonymous
18:34with forever suffering.
18:40We suffer when we reject God's Word.
18:45We suffer when we neglect God's Word.
18:51I'm grateful to God to this very day
18:53for having that experience,
18:55to witness these sisters preparing
18:56for these mission trips.
18:58So we'd be praying for them for their protection
18:59and their safety,
19:00and to successfully get the cargo dropped off
19:07and returned home safely,
19:09but to learn how our eternal brothers and sisters,
19:14Values got values.
19:15Guys were so much so.
19:18Just one, one, we need one per church.
19:20We don't want to be greedy.
19:24We'll make sure we reproduce it for our people.
19:31All right.
19:32I want to bring this up for two reasons.
19:35One is a special election that's going to happen tomorrow in the Nashville, Tennessee
19:39area.
19:41But the election has brought ideas and concepts to the forward that I believe we need to address.
19:51So what am I talking about first?
19:52I'm talking about Tennessee's seventh congressional district to where, what's her name?
20:04Afton Bin is, she's a state legislator in Tennessee and she's running in a special election to
20:13fill the vacated congressional seat.
20:16The incumbent Republican is retiring from Congress.
20:19Bobby, would you look up who Afton Bin is running against for me just because I need to
20:23to mention. Yeah. Mark Van Epps. Mark Van Epps, that's right. Mark Van Epps is her Republican
20:29opponent in this race. But after Ben has, I mean, let's just start here. She is a Democratic
20:35candidate. She has lots of problems. In addition to her political aviation, her very own ideology.
20:46And I'll start here in 2023, October of 2023, a an online publication based in Tennessee called
20:5410 Beat published an interview with the then newly elected state representative, Afton
21:01Ben. The person who conducted this interview and later published this article, her name
21:06is Catherine Rickmeyer. And I'll mention why I'm telling you sharing her name and why it's
21:10important in a moment. All right. So in the interview with Catherine Rickmeyer, Afton Ben
21:16provided for the 10 beat publication, she described herself in 2023 as the AOC of Tennessee.
21:26That's actually described as a cell as the AOC of Tennessee.
21:30The article that Katherine Rickmeyer ends up publishing following the interview with Afton
21:36Ben, chronicles charts her rise from University of Texas psychology student to quote progressive
21:44community organizer.
21:46In the interview, Afton Ben, and just guys you don't know, the term community organizer
21:52comes from Saul Alinsky's Rules of Radicals.
21:54It's the same thing that Barack Obama didn't have had himself with.
21:57Rules of Radicals, a pragmatic primer for realistic radicals that gave the introductory
22:03shout out to Lucifer.
22:05All right?
22:06That's what she's calling herself now, a community organizer.
22:11In the article, she goes, that's right.
22:13the Sanders said, that is not a compliment, exactly. That's the point I'm making.
22:18And the article she goes on to say, and Catherine Rickmeyer is quoting her and
22:23says, quote, during her senior year at the University of Texas, after being interned
22:27at the Ark of Texas, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives
22:32of persons with disabilities. The article written by Catherine Rickmeyer notes that
22:38been, quote, developed talking points on disability policies for the state
22:42legislature during that internship, giving her an early taste of political life that
22:46led her to spend the summer. After graduation, canvassing for Democrat Representative Lloyd
22:53Doggett. Now here's the problem. Here's the problem. Folks have the tendency to check out
22:59what you say. So the Ark of Texas, the nonprofit group, was contacted and asked about the years
23:07of Afton Bins, employment and or internship or other relationship with the Ark of Texas,
23:14and guess what?
23:15The Ark of Texas had to say.
23:16Guess?
23:17Y'all want to guess what they had to say?
23:21I'll tell you what they had to say.
23:23The Ark of Texas says, quote, we have no record of an intern or employee with the name of Afton
23:29Bins, end quote.
23:35We have no record.
23:38We have no record of her ever working for us.
23:42Katherine Rick Myers, the author of the article, was contacted and said,
23:46Katherine, you published this stuff about Afton Bin in 10B.
23:49You published this.
23:51You know what Katherine Rick Myers says?
23:53Well, everything I put in an article about her working for the Ark of Texas,
23:56she told me that herself.
24:02The Ark of Texas said, we ain't ever had nobody to work for us by that name.
24:08So in, in, in a word, somebody lying and I tend to think what would be the
24:15incentive for the Ark of Texas to deny that why would Katherine Riffmeyer lie? Then you asked
24:22the question why would Afton Ben lie? Mm-hmm. And then not only that, the same Afton Ben who is a state
24:37legislator and I'm saying this to a man because this is some insidious ideology because I don't
24:43know how y'all feel but I don't want liars to be my football coach. Certainly don't want liars to be
24:51in Congress. I mean, you start, you ain't even in DC yet and you, and you line, man, you
24:58line. You ain't never worked for architects. Not only that. In 2020, before she was elected
25:08as a state legislator, you see, no, let me take a few steps back. In a podcast interview,
25:16in 2020, she was asked about what she really thought about Nashville. And I won't say what
25:25she said, I won't try to characterize her comments.
25:27I'll let you hear what Afton Ben has to say about Nashville,
25:30all on her own.
25:31Listen to clip number three.
25:33This is an audio clip only.
25:35Clip number three, go.
25:37I've been heavily involved with the Nashville mayoral race,
25:42because I hate the city, I hate the Bachelorette,
25:44I hate the pedal taverns, I hate country music.
25:47I hate all of the things that make Nashville barely.
25:50And it's city to the rest of the country.
25:52I hate it.
25:53Yeah, I'm not girls at airport,
25:54that all these bachelors are giddy walking out in there
25:57in their two-toned colored pant-ton pink shirts
26:00and they walk out and I'm like,
26:01oh my god, national!
26:03Super-bobble!
26:04That's so loud.
26:06So she hates the city that she's running to be congress.
26:08Congress to be the congress,
26:10congressional representative for.
26:12Now I would add to this that she also is
26:16the state legislature right now,
26:18her district includes downtown Nashville.
26:23Somebody don't wanna explain to me why
26:25you will wanna represent a location that
26:29You hate, I'm sorry, that's right.
26:30Matt Van Epps, not Mark Van Epps, thank you for that correction.
26:33She hates the city, now.
26:36She tried to be as fair as possible.
26:38After this audio started making arounds,
26:43and Afton Ben decided she wanted to run for Congress.
26:45She started saying, oh no, no, I don't hate Nashville.
26:50I was just complaining about tourism.
26:52Mm, not what I really feel, no.
26:57But I would just simply say, why, why you never
27:00try to correct that before you start running for Congress.
27:02Easy.
27:06Oh, but the answer to your question,
27:09no, I guess I should say the answer to my question.
27:12As to why would you run for office in a place that you have
27:16said nobody made these words out of your own mouth?
27:18You said you hate Nashville.
27:25Then why would you want to run for office in that area?
27:29I'll just let you hear her own words once again.
27:35So this next little diddy, in addition to some other things I'm going to share with you,
27:43was again, I make sure I got the right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
27:46In 2020, she explained that her therapist wants her to, you know,
27:58transcribe her dreams and her dream. She had something very, very revealing to say,
28:05listen to clip number two, clip two, go.
28:09My therapist always asked me to transcribe my dreams when they happen.
28:15And the recurring dream I've had is standing up in a cafeteria full of women.
28:22I don't know why I was there or what happened.
28:25And saying, I don't want children, I want power.
28:27And just screaming at the top of my lungs.
28:31And for someone who grew up with my mother telling me never have kids because you will,
28:38you'll have to give up a lot.
28:40You'll have to sacrifice professionally,
28:41which is what she was saying.
28:43And where I am now with seeing the consequences
28:50and the ramifications of women having kids
28:52and being in the political field
28:53and what they're able to achieve,
28:55because we don't offer, you know,
28:57it's like the political field hasn't met
28:59the challenge of working moms, they really haven't.
29:01But also the deeply patriarchal structures
29:05that these women are involved with
29:10because they have chosen marriage
29:12and they've chosen to raise children.
29:15And I think in the South,
29:16it's incredibly difficult to shake those,
29:19especially if you've grown up here
29:21and that's all you've been told
29:23is the definition of success,
29:25the metrics of success,
29:26how many kids you have,
29:27the bigger square footage of your house.
29:30And where are your kids to go to school?
29:35Why would you want to run for office in an area where you, out of your own words,
29:40in your own mouth, you said you hate this place. Oh, but you didn't mean it. No.
29:45As you said, I don't really believe that, but when people tell you who they are,
29:56believe them. So she began that comment by referring to her therapist. Okay.
30:06And then she doesn't want children. She wanted,
30:14Isn't that an interesting phrasing?
30:20Like, I don't want babies, I want power.
30:26Huh.
30:28So she clearly articulated the idea.
30:32And for anybody who would say, well,
30:35she says she had a dream for it.
30:36Did you know that's how she began to explain her own dream?
30:39And saying, oh, by the way, her mom told her,
30:41you don't ever want to have children.
30:43Can you imagine the head game that would have done
30:45to the child, having your own mom say, hey,
30:48by the way, you don't want to have children
30:49His children will ruin all your dreams.
30:51And you're the child of the person's enemies.
30:54Maybe that's why she's had a therapist, man.
30:59But to have the notion that having power is what she wants.
31:05It's not children.
31:11I have obviously lots of thoughts and comments on that idea.
31:15But that is what I want to ask when we open the phone lines.
31:18Have you heard, talking to those who are going to call in, in your own lives, in your own
31:23interactions with people, have you personally heard people repeat the same type of idea
31:33that children are an impediment to the life that I deserve? Having children is a trap.
31:44Who wants to be bogged down with children? Sure many of you won't be surprised that the same
31:56would be Wonder Woman. Also, a champion seems like, you know, abolition of prisons. She tried
32:02to scrub her social media. I have to see her saying these things publicly. Now she's running
32:05for Congress, trying to scrub her social media. But internet is forever. And the disrespectful
32:11music, grabbing me. But I'm gonna play next out of our greatest hits. Her espousal that,
32:16you know, men and women can give birth. And in fact, we should use the birthing. Birthers.
32:23We should use that for collective bargaining. What in the world? Guys, these are the type
32:28ideologies that persist when God's view of his world has been rejected and you say
32:35that these are empowering but really you are imprisoning yourselves with your own
32:39chains. Kind of like brave new world said would happen. More when we get back and we
32:50plan to open the phone line to 888 589 884 0 is the number to call we're gonna
32:55get in a couple more notions of show content and then we'll get to your calls
32:59after this break.

34:08The Pilgrims. This is David Wheaton, host of the Christian worldview.
34:13A small group of Christians known as the Pilgrims are widely considered to be the founders of America.
34:19They said they came to America, quote, for the glory of God in the advancement of the Christian
34:25faith. Their biblical beliefs and personal and civic life led directly to the principles of the
34:30Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. This year is the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrims
34:37first Thanksgiving when they thanked God for a bountiful harvest after a brutal first winter.
34:44The Bible says, in everything give thanks, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

35:06Family Radio.
35:07The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Bitted Common Terrets are available at AFR.net.
35:18Back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
35:22Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton III here.
35:26Before we went to the break, I played audio for congressional, that made by congressional
35:32candidate Afton Ben.
35:34She's running against, she's a Democratic representative, she's a state representative,
35:39She's a Democratic candidate for Tennessee's seven districts congressional race.
35:44She's running against Matt Van Epps, and the special election is tomorrow.
35:49That's why I'm giving attention to this now, that if you are, we have a significant audience
35:54in the national area.
35:55One, you may not be aware that there's a special election tomorrow, tomorrow, that will contribute
36:03to the makeup of Congress.
36:04So you got to shake off the trip the fan from your turkey and get out and vote because this
36:14woman, this woman's ideology, the United States of America's Congress must be spared from this
36:19woman.
36:22Nothing personal against her.
36:24Her ideology.
36:26Her ideology.
36:27Excuse me.
36:28Excuse.
36:30In addition to stating she hated Nashville, what she's running to represent them again,
36:35by the way, she ran to represent that area in the state legislature and run it again in
36:39Congress. Then why would she do so? Well, she said that, you know, in her dreams, she confronted
36:44the notion that she didn't want babies. She wanted power. She wanted power. When you say
36:49stuff like that, I listen, I listen and power to do what? Well, she gives you an indication.
36:57I've already mentioned and she tried to scrub her social media, but she advocated for the
37:02abolition of prisons, you know, she said, quote, as a legislator who believes in prison
37:07abolition, I'm committed to addressing the root causes of crime rather than implementing
37:11punitive measures that often perpetuate a cycle of harm."
37:15So you want to address the root cause of crime like sin?
37:18That's what you want to confront?
37:20What do you think she has other ideas?
37:23In case you want to write that, she also said, you know, she said white people needed to
37:27join the movement to abolish prisons.
37:29Yeah, yeah.
37:30She posted that on June 19, 2024.
37:33On this June 19th, we need less white folks posting
37:35Canva graphics and more adopting prison abolition
37:38as a political foundation.
37:39Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
37:42That was she saying.
37:43Not only that, she also believes that both men
37:45and women give birth.
37:47Yeah, yeah.
37:49And birthing people should use their capacity to give birth
37:54as a collective bargaining chip.
37:56I am not joking.
37:57Listen to clip number four, clip four, go.
38:01I think as an organizer and as an activist,
38:05like we really have an opportunity here in this country
38:08to talk about what type of policy, progressive policies
38:13we want to see as young women.
38:15And I think we have, as birther, as women who can give birth,
38:20men and women who can give birth, we
38:22could maybe leverage that as collective bargaining, which
38:24is the basis of this book that I'm not, I've just started
38:28reading, but called Birth Strike, and how
38:31we can really leverage collective bargaining when it comes to
38:35uh... having children in this country and so for example like i'm not going to
38:38give birth until the united states government concedes
38:42a bcd
38:45seems a little much
38:50and that you want that kind of person
38:52and and and congress
38:55and and
38:56listen i i'm bringing it to this
38:58to you for this conversation yes for the reality of there's a list of special
39:02election is tomorrow guys in Nashville, the National District 7.
39:06All right.
39:08But also to highlight the ideologies.
39:10And for some of you, we know generally people might think these kinds of things, but hearing
39:15them actually say them and to say, hey, and by the way, I want to represent you in Congress.
39:22I specifically want to talk to you, those who are calling in now and depending on how
39:27many calls we have or we even some other stuff, because of course I want to talk about President
39:31Trump's moratorium on immigration from third world countries and conversations we need to
39:39have around that.
39:41How do we go from Western civilization being a beacon for freedom and now we have no-go
39:45zones in our own countries?
39:49I shared on social media not too long ago, that was a pastor who was mourning, Vodie
39:55Bockham's death and he happened to have been traveling and he was in the DFW airport and
39:58he wanted to go to the chapel and spend some time with the Lord in prayer.
40:03He was forbidden from entering the chapel because you had a Muslim press service going on in
40:10DFW.
40:16I just flew through DFW with my wife and children.
40:20I have to tell you it was an interesting experience.
40:29Have you encountered this is a question.
40:33Here's a number first and I'll get to the question again.
40:37The number is 888-589-8840-8888-589-8840.
40:46The question I have is, have you encountered in your personal life someone, man or woman,
40:55doesn't matter, who espoused to you the idea that children were an impediment to a successful
41:04life?
41:05I don't want babies, I want power.
41:08That's what Afton Ben said.
41:11Have you experienced someone in your life has said that because what I'm trying to see
41:17is in this audience how widespread
41:21has this ideology been
41:23how how
41:25personally
41:28how widespread personal encounters with this type of ideology
41:32has been in this audience in particular
41:34will start in mississippi
41:36where he would is on the line he would thank you for calling the hamilton
41:38corner welcome to the program
41:41well thank you mister hamilton and god bless you for what you do
41:44you expose the truth in these hard times
41:47and here's what i've got to say
41:49Okay, obviously this is a pro-life question.
41:54This lady running, they want power and you asked the question, do you know anybody?
42:01I've known four or five women that match that description.
42:06And unfortunately, abortion was a one of the greatest sins ever committed, but
42:13thank you, Jesus, he gave me.
42:14But in the meantime, this lady is demonic and I will promise all your listeners, as long
42:23as Kid Rock and Trace Atkins are in Nashville, she will not get elected.
42:27But in the meantime, thank you for what you do and God bless you.
42:33And this is a demonic spirit.
42:36It's the spirit of murder.
42:38The greatest thing on America's ever committed was abortion.
42:42until we stop abortion, just stop it.
42:45We will never be blessed as a nation.
42:48Thank you for your calling your comment, Taylor.
42:50Thank you for your calling your comments.
42:51You know, the only thing I would say is that this lady
42:55is currently a state legislator in this area
42:56that includes downtown Nashville.
42:59So, and, you know, I didn't even posit the idea.
43:04Clearly, yes, it's a pro-life question, no doubt.
43:12I didn't even posit that specifically abortion.
43:16But she said, I don't want babies.
43:18I want power clearly communicating that bearing children in her view was an impediment to her
43:26procurement of power.
43:30Whoa, I reiterate what I said in the first segment.
43:36When we reject God's view of his world, we are imperiled by that rejection.
43:41Back to the phone lines we go.
43:43To Tennessee, Mary is on the line.
43:47I shudder to ask, Mary, would you happen to be in the 7th Congressional District in Tennessee?
43:52now i'm in chad niggas i think that okay
43:55okay
43:55they can i didn't even know the election
43:57but i might call the election people that the next one was martin next year
43:59where i wasn't even where
44:00was especially it's a special it's it's not a normal is a special election because
44:04the
44:05con congress member
44:06in the seventh district is resigning from congress
44:09so it's it's a special election is now one of the normal schedule
44:14but welcome to the program go right ahead
44:22she was fighting this for years we've been dealing with this is like this is
44:26for very all of this
44:30and people don't know it's lack of knowledge ignorance like a mallet we just
44:33don't know
44:33we don't know you don't know
44:35yeah very well said have you encountered this type of ideology in your personal
44:38life
44:39with others
44:41yes i have yet to have a private family and so forth and in
44:47like you know they are much of the have more than you know one child and
44:51the thing is we're heading down the road if this keeps going we're gonna be
44:53enforced
44:54it can be enforced on us but the force in china right now
44:57mmm or worse
44:58mary mary thank you for your calling your comments i mean
45:01you're right about the issue after this is one of the major things that she
45:05uh... their entire movement with equal form and all was founded on this
45:09idea to wear
45:10uh... the concept
45:13of motherhood being conflated with misery she was like one known that's that's
45:17not what i experience
45:19this is absurd what you're abdicating for
45:22uh... back to the phone lines we go again the question on the table
45:26is based on after bins comments that she did not want babies she wanted power
45:32Clearly an ideology that flows from feminist theory,
45:36I would wanna reiterate for those who may not be aware,
45:39feminist theory is actually a subset of critical theory,
45:44which is the ideology that was utilized
45:46to force global Marxism that required the casting off
45:52of existing, this is their term, hegemony.
45:54And so critical theory, which gave rise to critical race theory,
45:57to queer critical theory and to feminist theory,
46:00They're all substrata of the same critical theory ideology.
46:05Have you encountered this in your own lives?
46:09And what is the context in which you've encountered this?
46:11If you're welcome to share that, the idea that children are an impediment to a successful
46:17life where, as after Ben said, she didn't want babies, she wanted power.
46:22We go next to Kansas, where Kay is on the line.
46:25Kay, thank you for calling the Hamilton Corner.
46:27Welcome to the program.
46:28I need so much for all you do and I was going to speak to something else but I will say that I know of, I'd say this I know of a pastor that believes that way and you know I think there are a lot of people that have been influenced and they may not be able to articulate it.
47:00that are influenced by this
47:04feminist and cute thinking.
47:08And I guess one thing that I wanted to ask you on that is,
47:13is there anything in the Bible that talks about where God
47:19encourages his own people when things get really bad?
47:25Oh yes.
47:26In the nation to not to live as if they are not married and not be having a lot of children
47:35at a certain point or is that just during fasting and praying?
47:40Oh no, there's not scripture that talks about that.
47:43In fact, you have specific examples in scripture when, for example, the Israelites were exiled
47:49to Babylon and the Lord specifically said to them, don't shrink, have children, be fruitful,
47:55families even though you're in this exiled disposition, you continue doing what I called
48:00you to do.
48:02Paul writes the Timothy specifically in latter times when there's insidious evil, metastasizing
48:08evil, but as for you, you continue in what you know to be true because you're familiar with
48:12the sacred writing.
48:13Simply put that there is not an external circumstance or observation that dictates what the children
48:19of God is supposed to say and to do.
48:22But we continuing what God has called us to do, regardless of what's happening around us,
48:26and then so doing there will be a clear contrast in the lives of the people of God that are
48:30contrasted from those that are surrounding.
48:34So no, the exact opposite is true.
48:38There's no scripture that would support that kind of somewhat even describe it as kind of
48:42an inescapous, dispositional orientation.
48:45But we'll try to get a couple more calls and we'll back to the phone lines.
48:48We'll go next to Virginia to where Lee is on the line.
48:50thank you for calling him to welcome to the program
48:54thank you so much brother hamilton you probably know me from my comment about
48:57when can't bring in a not
48:59hahahaha
49:01i remember you
49:03thank you but i don't have a good right ahead
49:05well usually on the website all my name is robin but
49:09you know one last thought based on her perspective on power
49:13is there not a famous quote
49:16that says
49:17He who rocks the Cradle or she who rocks the cradle controls the world.
49:22And yes, there is a famous quote that says that.
49:25But apparently that quote may not either be made aware to miss Ben or she ascribes to
49:35some other type of understanding.
49:38But it is true.
49:40Oh man, that clock is so disrespectful.
49:43We have more people on the line.
49:44I'll try to revisit, not try.
49:46I'm gonna plan to revisit this conversation tomorrow.
49:48We have other things I wanna get to,
49:50but it's unfortunate that ideologies like this
49:54have so infected our society.
49:58So what used to be firmly established
50:00and well understood truths have now become
50:03really cannon fodder and societal regression
50:09that'll even have a young woman like Apton Ben
50:11to deny the God-given potency of doing something that only women are uniquely created to do,
50:20which is to incubate and cultivate image bearers.
50:25And it literally, literally is a central ingredient that God has given us to the expansion quantitatively
50:33and generationally of his kingdom.
