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.
0:15Delivery 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.
0:33And grateful to God for an opportunity to sit in for Abraham
0:37Hamill to the third. I'm Bishop E. W. Jackson. Great to be with you again tonight.
0:42And glad to be with you. Thank you all as always for all of your prayers, your support
0:48in so many ways of this network and its hosts. We couldn't do what we do without you. So
0:54God bless each and every one of you. Merry Christmas.
0:56I hope this is the most wonderful Christmas you've ever had and that this new year is going to be the greatest
1:04Year of your life thus far. Amen. May it be so
1:10Well, we've got a lot of things to talk about. I'm going to be taking your calls a little bit later on
1:15So please get ready for that. I'm going to cover about three topics
1:19But you can feel free to bring up anything you want to bring up
1:23The first thing I want to deal with is this Brown University shooting.
1:29I've been watching the news on that and I don't know whether you've paid any attention
1:35to it but you know this is like the Keystone cops.
1:39And I'm not referring to the law enforcement officers who are serving that community.
1:44I'm referring to this school administrator, the president of the college, apparently whatever
1:53security they have on the campus, it's been laughable. Five days out, they still haven't
2:00found this guy. Now, you may or may not know this, because initially we were hearing they
2:09have cameras all over the campus. Well, now we know that many of those cameras are antiquated.
2:15They are very unclear.
2:17They don't do a very good job of showing
2:24what they're supposed to be showing.
2:26And so, you know, I mean, they've got some pictures
2:29of the guy, but they could have had a lot more.
2:32Apparently the perimeter of the campus is not covered.
2:37Brown University has an $8 billion endowment,
2:42endowment, not, not M eight billion dollar endowment. And that means folks that they've
2:52got that money sitting in the bank. That's before they collect a single dime of tuition.
3:00That's before they receive any kind of government grants. They've got eight billion dollars sitting
3:09in the bank. They use the interest off that money and try not to touch the principle
3:16but the interest of that money produces anywhere from about $350 million to about
3:22$800 million a year there. They've been earning on average 10 to 12% on that money.
3:28So that money is producing for them anywhere from without touching the
3:32principal anywhere from $300 million or $350 million to about $800 million a year.
3:41That's before a dime of tuition is collected.
3:48You know, it strikes me that these universities,
3:54I had someone say to me not too long ago,
3:56we were talking about, you know, where to give your money,
4:00where to fulfill your charitable impulses,
4:06and the person was saying, I start giving scholarships.
4:09I don't give money for scholarships unless I know specifically
4:14who the student is, what the student is doing, where the student is going, she said, because
4:18I'm not giving my money for scholarship to have it used to indoctrinate some student and turn him
4:25against God, against his country, against his family or her. And I'm just not doing it.
4:33Yeah, these universities, Brown is by the way, Ivy League. Brown is supposed to be one of the elite
4:39universities in the country, they can do everything except what they're supposed to do.
4:48I mean, they can certainly indoctrinate kids to hate their country. They can certainly turn them
4:52into Marxists. They can certainly turn them into sexual deviance, convince them to transgendarism
4:57and homosexuality and all that is a great thing. But they can't manage to educate them. And apparently
5:07they can't keep them secure. Brown University isn't a no-gun zone. The entire
5:15campus is a no-gun zone, a gun-free zone. But apparently the shooter didn't get the memo.
5:23And this is what passes for our elite universities. Folks, these people are dumb.
5:32They really are because they have their heads so far into the Ivy League
5:40rarefied air that they're frankly of no practical use. They're second
5:52responsibility in addition to educating these children ought to be these young
5:56people, these students, ought to be keeping them safe. Okay, that doesn't mean
6:04that no matter what you do somebody can't slip in and do something bad, something
6:08wrong, but my goodness gracious, you ought to make it hard for them and you ought to
6:12make it difficult for them to get away with it. One of the security people apparently,
6:21who the shooter walked by his car was asked, well did you get video footage because the cars
6:28are supposed to be equipped with video cams? Did you get any footage of this guy going by
6:37your car? The answer was, I don't know. You don't know. I'll tell you folks, you parents,
6:50grandparents out there, choose the school you send your children to very, very
6:57prayerfully. Because if this is what passes for the elite institutions of our
7:03country, well I shut it for the future of America. I really do folks. I really do.
7:09If these are the people who are going to be in positions of influence and power
7:13and exercising control over the institutions of our country, they're
7:21being trained by these idiots. I tell you. But at any rate, we need to pray obviously, forgive
7:33me folks, pray for the victims' families and all the people who have been affected and injured
7:38by this. But I'll tell you, I think it's appropriate to be angry over what I consider to be the incompetence
7:47and the lack of frankly, the lack of diligence and vigilance
7:53about the safety and security of their student body.
7:56But as I've said many times before,
7:58these leftists really don't care about people,
8:01but they care about his power.
8:03That's really what drives them.
8:05They try to cloak what they say and compassion and all that,
8:08but there's no compassion for people there.
8:12This is all about power and control,
8:14having a perspective on life
8:16that you believe you are supposed to impose on everyone else.
8:19They accuse us of doing that,
8:21but actually we are persuaders, not imposers.
8:26Because we know that if a person's heart
8:28does not get right with God, there's nothing
8:30we can do for them anyway.
8:33So imposing on someone is a waste of time.
8:38And as far as imposing our worldview
8:40and our moral principles upon our government,
8:44now we are doing simply what every citizen
8:46and a free nation is supposed to do,
8:47which is participate in the process of developing the policies and the practices and the laws
8:53that govern the people.
8:57Every law reflects some one's value, some one's perception, some one's worldview of the difference
9:03between right and wrong.
9:05And the question is, whose perception, whose worldview is it going to be?
9:10You remember the days when they said, well, you can't legislate morality, all legislation
9:13is moral.
9:15That's why it's there.
9:16It's to say you can do this, you can't do that.
9:19Well why not?
9:20Because somebody finds it inherently wrong to do this or inherently wrong to not do that.
9:27And so it becomes enshrined in law as something that you can be penalized for in one way or
9:32another for failure to adhere to that principle.
9:36That reflects somebody's view of what is morally right and what is morally wrong.
9:43It is in the nature of the case.
9:45The question is whose view?
9:49When a city council passes a law that says
9:53the school is not allowed to tell a parent
9:55about a child's gender dysphoria
10:00and can keep that a secret from the parent.
10:03And that that is the policy and a teacher will be punished
10:06even if the teacher wants to,
10:07or tries to reveal this to the parent.
10:11That is a moral decision, but it's the wrong one.
10:18It reflects the skewed, perverse morality of godless people.
10:24So all laws, all legislation,
10:26is going to reflect somebody's morality.
10:28We want them to reflect the Judeo-Christian values
10:31that this country was based upon.
10:35But anyway, enough, I just wanted to point that out.
10:39So let's be praying for those families that have been affected.
10:42And I pray that Americans would get a revelation,
10:45don't send your children to some of these godless institutions
10:49that not only will ruin them educationally,
10:52but potentially put their lives at risk
10:53because of their inability or unwillingness
10:55to do what is needed to take care of the safety
10:58and security of those kids
11:00because they're too busy with other things.
11:02They've got another agenda.
11:07The second thing I wanna mention
11:08is the Susie Wiles Vanity Fair debacle.
11:14Apparently this Vanity Fair piece is a hit piece
11:17on Susie Wiles and mainly on Donald Trump.
11:22The first thing I'd say is, I don't read Vanity Fair, I don't subscribe to Vanity Fair, I don't
11:26care what Vanity Fair thinks, and I'm not interested in what they have to say about Susie Wiles or
11:32about President Trump.
11:33Now Trump's cabinet is rallying around her and beside her and standing up for her and saying,
11:39you know, this is a hit piece, and I don't doubt at all that it is.
11:44But I would raise this question.
11:47Why in the world would any member of the Trump administration give vanity fair a shot at you?
11:58You might as well hand them a straight razor and bear your throat.
12:06When I ran for the lieutenant governor in Virginia and had the press all over me about comments
12:12I had made about homosexuality, nothing vulgar and nothing profane, just basically biblical
12:16world view stuff.
12:18This is my view.
12:19This is sin.
12:20This is wrong.
12:21This is not good for people.
12:22It's not good for society.
12:23The people who engage in this and live this way are not healthy or not happy or not good
12:28that they are morally sick and so forth.
12:30Well, you know, they conjured all that up and they resurrected.
12:33You know, look at how these homophobic, you know, and everywhere I went.
12:38That's what they tried to dog me with.
12:41Well, I talked to my campaign manager at the time about what is going on and what we might
12:47do to try to cure the situation. And he said something that I never forgot. And I don't think
12:53I really understood it up until he sort of drove this point home. And this is what he said to me.
13:00He said, you don't understand. They don't just disagree with you or even dislike you.
13:06They hate you. They hate you. They want to destroy you because they hate you. And you know, I stepped
13:19back for a moment, I thought, wow, is it really that deep?
13:26Yes, it is.
13:28See, because we don't hate them.
13:30Now we hate what they do and we hate their views,
13:33but we don't hate them.
13:36I mean, I just, it's just not, we're, it's Christians,
13:39we're just not wired for that.
13:43And I thought back when I was first beginning to be
13:47in the public eye, this is back in Massachusetts,
13:50and I ended up doing an interview with two anchors
13:53I think the ABC News affiliate, it was Natalie,
13:59I think it was Brett and Natalie Jacobson,
14:01I will never forget it.
14:03And you know, at the end of the interview,
14:06it struck me, they didn't like me,
14:10but I couldn't figure out why.
14:12I'm thinking, well did I say something wrong?
14:14Did I do something wrong?
14:15It took me a while to realize they didn't like me
14:18because they knew I was conservative and they were liberal
14:21and they had no use for liberals,
14:23even though they claim to be so enamored of black people.
14:26Huh, not if you have the wrong ideology.
14:30This is Bishop E. W. Jackson in for Abraham Hamilton III.
14:33He won the Hamilton Corner standby.
14:35Be back in a moment.
15:08A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
15:12What are some of the battles that our children are dealing with?
15:14Why is it so important that we're equipping them to be warrior minded in their world and
15:20in their circumstances as well?
15:22might say, well children are young, let them grow up.
15:25Well the fact is sadly some children never get to grow up
15:28because the world is such a dangerous, tragic place
15:31in so many ways.
15:32What are some of the battlefields our children
15:34and youth deal with?
15:35Bullying and dealing with bullying, drug abuse, alcohol
15:38abuse, and the list could go on and on.
15:41Parents, a very wise strategy, a kingdom strategy,
15:45and a spiritual warfare strategy is figure out a way
15:48to motivate your child and have them to begin
15:51to read the word of God to you every day
15:53out loud as something we've mentioned before.
15:56Having your child read daily is a great way
15:58to begin to instill the eternal word of God
16:00in the mind and hearts of our children.
16:02That's a very important battle strategy for every parent.
16:13Shiting light into the darkness,
16:15this is the Hamilton Quarter, an American family radio.
16:20This is E.W. Jackson in for Abraham Hamilton the third.
16:24Glad to be with you again tonight.
16:26Look, the press hates our guts.
16:35And I don't know that Susan Wiles did not know that.
16:43I'm not sure what her thinking was,
16:47and I'm not being critical.
16:48I'm really just asking the question,
16:51because I can imagine exactly what,
16:55how she was approached,
16:56because I was approached the same way
16:58by news outlets from time to time.
16:59I mean, the last interview I did with MSNBC,
17:03the Marxist Socialists, no brains channel,
17:05they've now changed their name to MSNBC,
17:08I guess, now it's just the Marxist Socialist Network,
17:12or the Marxist Socialist nincompoops, in that cases.
17:16But anyway, they wanted to interview me
17:20and talk about the Tea Party.
17:21Well, they left me claiming Tea Party's a bunch of races,
17:25they're angry white people, blah, blah, blah, blah.
17:28I spoke at the first Tea Party meeting,
17:29one of the first Tea Party meetings ever held,
17:32when it kicked off on April 15th, 2009.
17:35I was there at the rally and spoke,
17:38and it spoke many times for the Tea Party.
17:42One of the finest group of people you ever wanna meet.
17:46I mean, just wonderful people treated me wonderfully.
17:49I didn't think about any races or racism nonsense.
17:54But when they did the interview,
17:56they got some B-rolls to put behind me,
17:59and they conjured up every racist image they could find,
18:03whether they were Tea Party people are not, you know,
18:05flying the Confederate flag and, you know,
18:07Cluke Cluck's client, all of it.
18:10As I'm defending the Tea Party,
18:11they're showing this stuff behind me as if to say,
18:13this is what the Tea Party is.
18:15Look at this idiot.
18:16He's defending these people.
18:19And I didn't really, believe it or not,
18:21I didn't know they were showing that B-roll behind me
18:23until somebody told me that I went and looked at my wife,
18:28wife take the interview, I went and looked at and thought to myself, boy, you know, that
18:34was, that's just pure evil because they weren't honest with me at all. They didn't tell me
18:40what they were really doing. But the point was not to interview me. The point was to discredit
18:45me to make me look like a complete idiot and to make the tea party look like complete racist.
18:51Here I am defending them. But look at the images behind him. That's who they really are. Well,
18:56That was a lie.
18:57That's not who they really were.
18:58I don't know where they got these images from.
19:00They conjured them up from somewhere.
19:02They picked and chose something here or there that maybe they could find some anomaly because
19:08the Tea Party rallies I went to.
19:11If you came to the Tea Party rally, you were flying a Confederate flag or had anything racist.
19:15They asked you to leave.
19:17You had to go because it wasn't about that.
19:21And frankly, the Tea Party started out, focused on our nation's fiscal health.
19:28We weren't even really dealing with a lot of social issues.
19:33So maybe, maybe Susie Wiles is a little naive about this because I'll tell you, I was,
19:42I told you when I first started out and did my first interview with two people, Chet
19:46and Natalie Jacobson, the ABC affiliate in Boston, I walked away trying to understand
19:52why they seem to dislike me so much because it was hostile.
19:58And I'm thinking, did I do something to them?
20:02Because I was a young Christian conservative who didn't understand the level of hostility
20:09in the mainstream media.
20:14Or, you know, the name slips my mind, but the son of one of the top news editors of,
20:25I don't know, 30, 40 years ago, Ben Bradley.
20:34Ben Bradley, that's right, it was Ben Bradley.
20:38His son came to my church to interview me.
20:40And it was always the same, oh yeah,
20:42we want to give you a perspective,
20:44we want to be fair to you, we want to,
20:47no they didn't, no, they wanted to do a hit piece on you.
20:51And what they wanted was your complicity.
20:54And so they lied to you and pretend that they really wanted to just help people see you for
21:00who you really are and do a fair piece and show your humanity.
21:05And no, they want to paint you into a monster and they want people to hate your guts and
21:12they want people to believe that you are the scourge of the earth.
21:16They hate us.
21:18So I'm not quite sure what they thought they were going to get out of vanity for you, but
21:23I'm sure that was the approach that was taken over.
21:25Yeah, we really want to show the human side.
21:27We really don't believe you've gotten a fair shake.
21:30We don't think that people have really seen you
21:32and seen the President for the,
21:34we want you to give us that perspective.
21:36We want, I'm sure that they just basically poured on the honey
21:42knowing that there was a barb in it, a poison pill.
21:48So I don't know, look, it's irrelevant to me.
21:52It's irrelevant to the administration
21:54not trust that it hasn't heard her because people know that she was ambushed a lot of
21:58stuff that she said, taken out of context and all of that.
22:02So I don't know whether she has no experience dealing with the press and I'm not sure who
22:06advised her, who told her that that was worth taking, but she probably just got caught up
22:11as Vanity Fair and they want to interview me.
22:14And this is going to be a nice piece.
22:16This is going to be a feature.
22:17This is going to be a feature story.
22:19Yeah.
22:21featuring the monster that they have conjured up in the wickedness of their own minds.
22:30Okay, well, last when we come back next segment, I want to start taking your calls. The number is
22:34888-589-8840. That's 888-589-8840. But the last thing I want to talk about before we get to that
22:43is the President's speech tonight, because the President's coming on at 9 p.m. He's going to give
22:47give a speech. Most people expect the speech to be primarily about the economy, although
22:53he may talk about his plans for Venezuela and what he's doing there. And so I won't try
22:59to second guess or preempt the president. I think he is very, very serious about enforcing
23:05these oil embargoes and restrictions. And I don't think he's going to let the Stug, Maduro,
23:13way with anything. I don't think we're going to war down there anything but I think the president
23:18is letting the world know, letting him know, letting the world know. We mean business. You
23:24remember when Obama drew a red line in Syria and said the use of chemical weapons is a red
23:29line and we would take action and he used chemical weapons and Obama just basically did the same
23:37song and dance, you know, little if feet kind of, you know, avoidance of the issues.
23:45Well, all that does is convey weakness and invite conflict. Weakness invites conflict.
23:55President Trump is letting the world know, you may not like me, and maybe I'm not the kind of
24:02president you think I ought to be, but I'm here to defend the interests of my country and I'm not
24:07not weak at it. Don't try to play me because you are going to get hurt. I think the president
24:18is just, look, the president is just really going street on him and letting them know,
24:25you know, I am not to be trifle with in the United States of America is not to be trifle
24:29with and I will not put up with it. You will not ship drugs into our country and kill our
24:34people without consequence. And you better believe the cartels, China, Russia, everybody
24:46is taking notice. Good for him. On the economy, which he may talk about like I said tonight.
24:55Look, I don't know when you call in a number again, 888-589-8840. When you call in, you can
25:04tell me how you're doing economically and how you feel the economy is doing to you or what the
25:09economy is doing to you. I would say this, we are moving in the right direction. Are we there yet?
25:19No. But look, folks, 39 states now have gasoline under $3 a gallon. Do you remember when under
25:27Biden it was $5 a gallon? I remember filling up my tank during the Biden era when
25:35And he had basically just dumped all of this paper money, printed all this money and dumped
25:43it into the economy like a tidal wave.
25:46And in it washed, driving up the price of everything because you had too many dollars
25:52taste chasing too few goods.
25:55And we all paid the price.
25:56And the pump was one of the first places we noticed it.
26:00But those gas prices are down significantly now.
26:05prices are down. The private sector is gaining jobs and those jobs are going to Americans as
26:15opposed to underbiting those jobs are primarily going to foreigners and the public sector is
26:20down jobs. Private sector up 121,000 public sector down 168,000. Too many people working
26:26with the government. I would only make this footnote. Mr. President, please disperse the bureaucrats
26:35of Northern Virginia across the land and get them out of our blessed Commonwealth, because
26:45these people are ruining Virginia. These Washington DC bureaucrats living in Northern Virginia are
26:51ruining our state because they're trying to turn it into the Marxist state. And look, purchasing
27:04power has increased in the less than a year that Trump has been in office. The buying power
27:11of the average family is going up by $1,000. Under Biden, it went down, I think, by about
27:19$2,800. Maybe more. I know it went down. I think it was $2,800 that went down. So this
27:27year coming up, we're going to no tax on tips. We're going to have the standard deduction
27:33doubled for those people who don't file the long form.
27:37I file the long form, so I have to document all of my deductions,
27:40but people who don't file the law form,
27:42you're gonna have a doubled standard deduction.
27:47This is all part of the big, beautiful bill.
27:51When all of this money from tariffs,
27:53from investments in America begin to come into our country,
27:57as I believe they will in 2026,
28:00I think we're going to see
28:02economic renaissance folks.
28:05And remember, when you get all those jobs coming into the country
28:08and people competing for them, you know what that's going to do?
28:11That's going to drive wages up.
28:13It's going to mean people need to be paid more because there's more
28:18competition for the labor.
28:21So that's the economy.
28:22I think that the president can acknowledge that the job is not yet
28:26done, but we made a lot of progress and we're moving in the right
28:29direction, not to mention aside from that.
28:32I mean, this has been the most peace initiating president in not only in my lifetime, I think,
28:43in the history of the country. I mean, this president is on the war path for peace, if you will.
28:53If you'll forgive that little mixed metaphor there, but he is really out to bring peace into this
29:01world and God bless him for it. All this trans stuff particularly in the military and our schools,
29:10he has certainly slowed that down and in the military he has put a complete halt to it.
29:14It has to put a stop to it because again it is utterly ridiculous for people in the military
29:21to have to be walking on eggshells over which pronoun they use and this guy used to be a man
29:25and this woman used to be a guy and what I mean it's just ridiculous. These people are charged with
29:32defending our lives, defending our sovereignty, putting their lives on the line, shedding their
29:38blood and perhaps having to kill other human beings who pose a threat to our safety and
29:43security as Americans. And you got them all caught up in guys wearing dresses and women wearing
29:51men's clothes and doing seminars where they have to learn about, they have to find
29:58sensitivity to give me a break. You know, Rush Limbaugh used to
30:03say the military's role is to kill people and break things.
30:09You know, that's pretty crude, but that's about what it boils
30:12down to, isn't it? Now we hope it doesn't ultimately come to
30:16that. But that's really what they're trained to do. Blow stuff
30:20up and kill people who are trying to kill us. And the
30:27president has refocused the military on its core mission, as opposed to all this politically
30:39correct nonsense that it's focused on.
30:44I mean, there's now an acknowledgement, a common sense acknowledgement again.
30:49Physically, women, as a general matter, cannot do what men can do.
30:54Physically, it is not possible.
30:57Now of course, there are always going to be exceptions, particularly weak men, particularly
31:01strong women, always you'll find an exception, but we know that that's the exception, not the
31:08rule.
31:10And pretending that women can endure the same physicality or physical requirements that men
31:17do, pretending that they can, and then quietly lowering the standards so that nobody really
31:24notices is a farce.
31:27It's a fraud.
31:31Listen, no disrespect meant to the women who want to serve.
31:34Those women who want to serve find a place where they can serve and they can serve effectively,
31:40but let's not pretend that 125-pound woman can drag a 250-pound guy out of the line of
31:51fire in a crisis situation because she can't.
31:56She doesn't have that ability.
32:03President Trump has restored common sense to all of our institutions.
32:12The numbers 888-589-8840, that's 888-589-8840. Feel free to raise any issue you want. I brought up three,
32:21but you may have something else on your mind and that's just fine. This is E.W. Jackson in for Abraham
32:26Hamilton the third. We'll be back in just a moment.

33:34The term Providence means God's super intending care over his creation.
33:44America's providential history with Stephen McDowell.
33:47God is at work performing his will in history.
33:52And so through this podcast we're going to be taking a look at the providence of God and
33:57the history in particular in the history of America.
34:32Just look at what is taking place in Dearborn Michigan,
34:35Minneapolis, or New York City.
34:37Jesus told his disciples to be shrewd as
34:40serpent and innocent as doves.
34:42Christians should be shrewd about not letting this
34:45false religion take over our land, and yet
34:47innocent in living pure lives that proclaim
34:50and exemplify the gospel.
34:52Here are most recent program with Darryl Harrison
34:54on Islam at TheChristianWorldView.org, and then
34:58tune in this weekend for a special Christmas program.
35:00Listen to the Christian worldview with David Wheaton, Saturday mornings at 8 Central on American Family Radio.
35:08The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Common Terrets are available at AFR.net.
35:17Back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
35:23We're back! This is Bishop E.W. Jackson.
35:25And for Abraham Hamilton, the third, great to be with you tonight.
35:28I'm taking your calls, 888-589-8840.
35:32Fox Poll shows the president under water on the economy with 60% disapproving of his job
35:39on the economy, 40% approving.
35:43I think that that can change pretty dramatically.
35:45I think the president simply has to show empathy for the American people.
35:50I think I may have shared this with you all.
35:53I priced an HVAC system for part of our house
35:59before Biden inflation began,
36:04and I was given a price of $8,000,
36:07and I said, you know, I can output that off.
36:10I mean, I'll get to it, it ain't broke.
36:12I'm not gonna fix it.
36:15Folks, after the Biden inflation took hold,
36:18that same system went from $8,000 to $15,000.
36:24eight to 50 almost doubled in price.
36:30Now that's not President Trump's fault,
36:34but I'm stuck at this point.
36:38I'm gonna pay an additional $7,000 on a system
36:41because of Biden's inflationary policies.
36:46Now President Trump can't give me that money back
36:49and he can't relieve the pain of having to pay
36:52those extra dollars that I shouldn't have had to pay.
36:55Now you can, you know what I'm thinking of,
36:57I should have done it when I didn't need to do it, but I didn't foresee what was going to happen.
37:03So people are still feeling pain from what Biden did, but President Trump is not to blame,
37:10and we need to give him an opportunity. He's only been in office still less than a year.
37:15We need to give him an opportunity to see his policies really take effect.
37:21I really believe this, folks. I'm not blowing smoke at you, just saying it because
37:24I happen to support President Trump. I really believe that we're going to see an economic
37:29residence, a renaissance in our country. I really do. But you know, look, when people are having a
37:35hard time paying their bills and all of that, they may find little comfort in that. So I do
37:42hope things turn around quickly because of course this could have an impact on the midterms too.
37:47And Lord knows the last thing in the world we need is for the president to have a Congress
37:52that is controlled by the demon credits.
37:55888-589-8840 is the number.
38:00Let's go to our first call, Phil in Texas.
38:03Phil, welcome.
38:04Thank you, Bishop.
38:07It's been a little bit since we talked.
38:09I just wanted to tell you that I agree with your assessment at the beginning about colleges.
38:14Parents need to be aware of where there's been in their children.
38:18I say this being a professor at a university in Texas, pretty famous, Texas A&M University,
38:27but myself and a small remnant, I want to say, of believers teach in a program at Texas A&M
38:35University.
38:36And we are afforded the latitude to be able to witness, to disciple, to talk to those in
38:42non uh... the term i wanna say is to
38:45post-allitized way so to speak
38:48but we've not caused by the university
38:51right non-coerces uh...
38:53way to express our faith in our understanding of the word in our
38:57savior
38:58and a few prep uh... professors
39:00even give an optional
39:03last class of the semester
39:05where they give their testimony
39:07and give the difference between
39:10creation versus the secularism of
39:15evolution, so like why God's design fits better
39:20than evolution's chaotic thing?
39:23Because it's construction, so to speak.
39:25And so you can see the similarities in that.
39:29There's always a design.
39:30Well Phil, thank you for the call.
39:32That is a blessing to go to a school
39:35where you have that latitude, which you should have
39:38because these are voluntary exchanges of ideas
39:43and information that should be able to take place
39:45under any circumstance.
39:47Part of the problem is that the ideology
39:50in a lot of these liberal schools is coercive.
39:53They're basically intimidating and pressuring kids
40:00to believe in a Marxist and evolutionary
40:03and secular and atheist worldview.
40:06So God bless you that you're in a position
40:08where you can actually share the truth
40:11without someone telling you we're gonna get rid of you
40:14because we don't want you talking to kids.
40:17I'll tell you all a quick story
40:19and then I'm gonna come right back to your calls.
40:21When my children were in elementary school,
40:23the teacher brought a witch in to talk to our children.
40:26Talk to children in the classroom, my children were there.
40:29My children came home and told me that their witch
40:32was brought into the classroom to teach them
40:33about wickedness and so I went up to the school and said,
40:36Why are you bringing witches into the rest?
40:38Well, we have to broaden their views.
40:40We have to, you know, a lot of nonsense.
40:42I said, well, spring is here and Easter's coming.
40:45I said, would it be okay if I come up
40:48and teach children about the resurrection of Jesus Christ
40:51and why we believe in him as our Lord and Savior?
40:55The teacher said, oh, oh, that's a different matter.
40:59Oh, that we would have to,
41:01we'd have to get permission of the superintendent
41:03to do something like that.
41:04I said, well, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
41:06didn't you just say you brought a witch into the classroom?
41:09Oh yeah, but that, to see that's different, is it?
41:13I said, well, what do you have to do to get permission
41:15for me to come and teach the gospel?
41:19We'd have to check.
41:20So they checked and they knew I was not gonna take
41:22no for an answer, so I ended up doing it.
41:24But I mean, here again, that's the mindset.
41:28Acceptance of a witch hostility toward the true
41:33and the living God and a representative of his.
41:36let's come back to lines let's go to george
41:40in missouri george welcome
41:43well what do you do it here with me i got parkinson's i'm an old guy
41:47uh... that's okay george you know i i wish you and your family a merry christmas
41:53thank you
41:55and a f r all the people that a f r
41:59what worked green said before
42:03uh... he said
42:06the Democrats didn't want President Trump firing
42:11underneath anybody.
42:13They didn't talk about Bill Clinton
42:15when he fired 400 Republican lawyers.
42:20They just say a word about that
42:21and all the stuff that Biden and Obama done.
42:26They don't want Trump to do it.
42:28And the other thing is these ICE agents
42:32and these policemen are our children, our daughters,
42:36our son and you should be honoring them instead of trying to kill them.
42:42Amen. Thank you for the call, George. We'll be praying for you, brother. You are so right.
42:49They act like these ICE agents and for that matter, law enforcement officers in general
42:55are aliens from some planet somewhere. It's kind of dropped down in the middle of nowhere
43:02to harass and bother the rest of us.
43:05You're right, these are part of our families and communities,
43:10and they have chosen to take an oath to the Constitution
43:13of the United States and to serve the people of this country
43:16and the people of their community.
43:18And you're right, we ought to honor them.
43:19And by the way, all you law enforcement folks out there
43:22who are listening right now, we do honor you.
43:24Merry Christmas to you.
43:25Happy New Year to you.
43:26Thank you all so much for your service.
43:30God bless you.
43:31Let's go back to the calls. Let's go to Mark in Ohio. Mark,
43:36welcome.
43:38Hi, good evening. Bishop, number five.
43:42Separ five, brother.
43:44Ooh, rock. I joined the Marine Corps during the Clinton
43:51air and didn't really have political identity at the time.
43:57But actually during that time, that was the don't ask, don't
44:02tell
44:05mentality
44:07and I guess my question or comma is do you think that
44:12them that Obama repelling that was harmful or helpful?
44:19Repelling that you may not ask, don't tell.
44:23Don't ask, yeah, don't ask, don't tell.
44:27Well, you know, thank you for the call. First of all, Mark,
44:31appreciate that. Look, my recollection is that Bill Clinton put
44:37don't ask don't tell him as sort of a compromised position. In
44:40other words, we're gonna let homosexuals in, but we're
44:43simply not going to talk about it. We're not going to ask
44:45them about it. Obama comes in and Obama doesn't like the policy
44:50because he wants homosexuals in the military. He wants them to
44:54be able to serve openly. And and that was a disaster, because
45:00Look, I think we're all Christians.
45:04We believe that heterosexuality is normal.
45:07That's the way God created us.
45:08Homosexuality is abnormal.
45:11It is an anomaly.
45:13It is a departure from the norm.
45:17However, however, I think all of us as Christians believe this.
45:22I mean, how you live your life is none of our business.
45:25I mean, we care about you as a fellow human being,
45:28But we're really not interested in trying to dictate to you how you live your life.
45:33Just don't try to impose it on us and don't try to have the standards of society changed
45:39in order to reflect what you want as opposed to what is right.
45:44But other than that, go live your life.
45:48But when you decide you're going to join the military and you want an operation, you want
45:51your sex change, you want to wear dress instead of a male uniform, you want to wear a female
45:58uniform, you want the military to spend a million dollars and two or three years transitioning
46:04you from one gen. No, no, no, no, no. You wouldn't do that. Go do that on your own. Don't
46:12ask us as taxpayers and don't ask the entire society to get in on that with you because
46:17we're not doing it. So as far as I'm concerned, we ought to go back to the policy that says,
46:25if you are homosexual, you are not allowed in the military. If you are open practicing
46:29out with that say put it out homosexual no you can't come in because to me it undermines
46:35decency and order the good order of the military because again you put two guys bunking together
46:43right one of the homosexual now that's that's the equivalent of putting a man in a woman
46:48together because one of these guys is looking at this other guy not as just his his fellow
46:54soldier fellow sailor whatever fellow marine he's looking at his other guy as a potential
46:59sexual partner. You don't need that. They put men and women together on these ships and it's been a
47:05disaster. A bunch of sale is coming home pregnant often not by their husbands sadly because you throw
47:17people in a year for a year's time you put them in close quarters living together with one another
47:24you're asking for trouble. So I hope that that answers your question mark.
47:30Folks, the numbers 888-5898-40.
47:32I might have time to get one more phone call in,
47:36and we've got some open lines.
47:37Let's go to Chris in Ohio.
47:39Chris, welcome.
47:41Yes, sir, Bishop.
47:43Oh, we love you.
47:44Merry Christmas.
47:46Thank you.
47:46The breath of it, my wife said,
47:48Chris, the Bishop's on the radio.
47:50I dropped everything, and I'm a rugged outdoorsman.
47:54And I was right over to the radio.
47:56Oh, what everything you said, Bishop,
47:59is right on the money.
48:00craze god well i was of course i you were a marine i'm army the up and i'm
48:06veteran back to the southward iraq all you bet of bishop you were a marine i
48:12tipped my hat well anyway two of our sons were
48:16navy and our army in iraq and one was over there with jd
48:20vance
48:21so we're very much god family and country
48:24while i worked in law enforcement i retired from law enforcement
48:29I got around the Muslim people and I thought, my gosh, with what's just happened again.
48:37Well, I ended up an Emon kept trying to convert me. Well, and he had 12 apostles and he kept trying
48:45to convert me. He knew I was a Christian and finally I had Lord. What do I do? How do I handle this?
48:53because he was constantly after me and then it came to me, offer to let him read the Gideon's
49:00Bible in your back pocket. And so right in front of his 12 apostles, I said, sir, I will read your
49:09Quran. If you promise to read my Gideon's Bible, and he said, you will read, I said, I swear, I swear
49:17before God, I will read that Quran, even though I'd heard so much about it, but I never read it.
49:23So and I've been all around the world met all kinds of people
49:27So we traded bibles right in front of the kids 12 people and me as the officer
49:33And it was about a month later. So it would be about a month for me to read this
49:39My wife. She said I won't even pick that up
49:42But I almost out of time you got to get to the punch line. There must be one here, chris. What is it? Okay?
49:47Oh, yeah
49:48I promised and I did read it
49:50And when I gave it back when we gave our Bibles back to each other, he would not.
49:54He said, I can't. I did not read your Bible.
50:00I got to go, brother. Listen, thank you so much for the call, Chris. Appreciate it. We're out of time.
50:05Listen, I'll be back tomorrow though. So if you want to continue the conversation, all of you,
50:10please give me a call then. In the meantime, you know what to do. Stand up, step up, speak up,
50:16and refused to back up because we cannot be defeated if we will not quit because we are on
50:21God's side."
