3. 0:07This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
4. 0:11It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
5. 0:15Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
6. 0:18And the philosophies of this world.
7. 0:20God has called you and me to be His ambassador.
8. 0:24Even in this dark moment.
9. 0:26Let's not miss our moment.
10. 0:29And now the Hamilton Corner.
11. 0:31Good evening, everybody.
12. 0:35Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio.
13. 0:40My name is Abraham Hamilton III, and I am excited to be with you here in the year by Lord 2026.
14. 0:50Having some time off, much needed rest, and dealing with some things on the home front,
15. 0:56I'm grateful to be in studio yet again.
16. 1:00At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you, are making your transition from your
17. 1:03part time jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs through which and where
18. 1:09you cultivate an outcome.
19. 1:10And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality.
20. 1:15And in case you're wondering, yes, yes, yes, we are in studio with the corner contingent
21. 1:20right across from me.
22. 1:21My man, a hundred grand Mr. Bobby, rosa, who understands operation, absolute result.
23. 1:31it conducted by some bad boys.
24. 1:34Mmm.
25. 1:35Man in the screening room we have produced extraordinary, often imitated, never duplicated.
26. 1:41The real J. Mac, ladies and gentlemen, are ready to rock and roll with today's edition
27. 1:46of the program.
28. 1:47It is a new year, but I will still encourage you the same way we always do to recognize
29. 1:54the primacy that God places on family.
30. 1:58There are lots of things that are happening all around the world.
31. 2:01I'll tell you now, we're going to spend some time discussing these events.
32. 2:08Really, I'm going to process all on process during the show with you guys because I'll
33. 2:13tell you plainly, the world is a better place with Nicholas Maduro in U.S. custody.
34. 2:21Venezuela is a better country with Maduro gone.
35. 2:25The United States of America is better off with Maduro gone.
36. 2:35We also, however, are a nation that is a constitutional republic.
37. 2:41So there is a tension there between the policy, prerogatives and objectives, the reality of
38. 2:48the role that Venezuela plays and has played in the world.
39. 2:54Because if anybody thinks Venezuela was solely about Venezuela, you are, I'll just say this
40. 2:57This way, sadly, very sadly.
41. 3:00Mistaken.
42. 3:01For example, it should be noted that a pretty significant, if not majority, of Maduro's personal
43. 3:07guard were all Cubans.
44. 3:10And that's something.
45. 3:12You and Venezuela, you got Cubans.
46. 3:15Thirty-two.
47. 3:16Holy down, huh?
48. 3:17It would say thirty-two, huh?
49. 3:18You did.
50. 3:19It would say, what did it?
51. 3:20Trente dos?
52. 3:22You know?
53. 3:23I mean...
54. 3:24Go, second.
55. 3:25So you have that phenomenon, you have the phenomenon,
56. 3:28and some people may not be aware,
57. 3:30but guess what was a training ground
58. 3:33for Hezbollah operatives?
59. 3:36You guessed it, in Venezuela, in Venezuela,
60. 3:39you guess who was on the ground?
61. 3:44In Venezuela when Operation Absolute Resolve
62. 3:46was doing a little pickup, you know,
63. 3:48you want to talk about DoorDash, guess who was on the ground?
64. 3:53Give DoorDash a new name, right?
65. 3:57The Chinese delegates, they were,
66. 3:59They were in Venezuela at the exact same time.
67. 4:06We're gonna get into that in a moment,
68. 4:09but also there's a reality of legality.
69. 4:11So we'll get into all of that.
70. 4:12But as you are making your transition,
71. 4:15please do so with intentionality.
72. 4:16And let me say, because I have not said this yet,
73. 4:20to the entirety of this audience,
74. 4:23albeit live radio show listeners, podcast listeners,
75. 4:27television show watchers,
76. 4:30However you are tuning into the program, happy new year
77. 4:33and contrary to what anyone may say,
78. 4:372026 is the year of our Lord.
79. 4:40So with that, let us turn to the word of God.
80. 4:46We're gonna begin the show in first Timothy chapter two.
81. 4:50First Timothy chapter two.
82. 4:52This weekend's events that just transpired really
83. 4:56underscore the reality that functioning
84. 5:00as the United States president is probably
85. 5:03hardest job in the world, probably. And it is incumbent upon the people of God to pray for
86. 5:10our president, not merely because I've said so, and it is not an opinion expressed. That
87. 5:16is actually what the Lord God commands of his people in his word. In 1 Timothy chapter 2,
88. 5:23the Apostle Paul is writing to Timothy, the first of his two epistles, canonical epistles,
89. 5:30of the Timothy, addressing Timothy, I've mentioned before, time period, second Timothy is for the
90. 5:37latter part of the Apostle Paul's life. But in 1 Timothy 2 verse 1, God's word says this,
91. 5:43first of all then, it's a matter of first importance, I urge that in treaties and prayers,
92. 5:51petitions and thanksgivings be made on behalf of all men, for kings in all who are in authority,
93. 6:00So that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
94. 6:09This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior who desires all men to
95. 6:16be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and
96. 6:20one mediator also between God and men the man Christ Jesus who gave himself as a
97. 6:26as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.
98. 6:31This is what God's word said.
99. 6:33We've explained this passage before.
100. 6:37When Paul is writing, he writes that this is a matter
101. 6:40of first importance, first of all.
102. 6:44And what is that matter of first importance?
103. 6:46That in treaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings.
104. 6:50Paul lists these as examples of different types of prayer.
105. 6:54He doesn't mean for it to be an exhaustive list of types and forms of prayer, if you will,
106. 7:00but he lists them as examples of different types of prayer.
107. 7:05For the purposes of saying all men of prayer, all types of prayer should be made on behalf
108. 7:10of all men.
109. 7:13Very often when people point to this passage, they highlight the fact that kings and those
110. 7:18in authority are listed, but I want to remind you that the text doesn't say that kings and
111. 7:22authority of the exclusive object objects of this particular portion of scripture. It says that
112. 7:27all types of prayer, all men of prayer are to be made on behalf of all men. All right? Then when you
113. 7:34get to verse two, when the apostle Paul mentions for kings and all who are in authority, Paul mentions
114. 7:40them as a particular subset, if you will, of all men, a particular type of all men who are to be prayed
115. 7:48before. This is particularly noteworthy because during this time in the first century, the
116. 7:54head of the Roman Empire of which Israel was a part, including at this time, northern regions
117. 8:00of Africa, Egypt, other portions of the world, all the way over into Britain, ultimately,
118. 8:06and even further north. Nero was Caesar. Now Paul is mentioning this because when you're
119. 8:16talking to people about who should be prayed for at this time as persecution was on the
120. 8:22uptick. Ultimately Nero there will be a fire in Rome and Nero would blame Christians and
121. 8:27that served as an impetus for outsides overt hostile physical persecution of Christians
122. 8:33in the Roman Empire. He's probably someone that would not have come to mind. He's talking
123. 8:39about man we need to pray for people and say it's pray for all kind of a yes and started
124. 8:42with Nero, what? That probably would not have been at the top of the mind. But then the apostle
125. 8:49Paul explains why this is to be done. Why do you do this? So that we, so that we may lead
126. 8:56tranquil and quiet lives in all godliness and dignity. And I've explained before that expression
127. 9:03of tranquility and quietness doesn't mean silence. All right. The Greek text rendering literally
128. 9:09He means that we may be to live unhindered and undisturbed lives.
129. 9:13So in this context, with persecution against the body of Christ is increasing in the Roman
130. 9:17Empire.
131. 9:18You have a wicked Nero as Caesar of the Roman Empire.
132. 9:22God prescribes a mechanism for His body to be able to continually advance in obedience
133. 9:27to what He calls us to.
134. 9:30That we have the wherewithal to lay the groundwork for the bride of Christ to continue to execute
135. 9:38what God has called us to without the hindrance and the disruption and disturbances being effective.
136. 9:50And that we're able to do this in all godliness and dignity, in all godliness and dignity.
137. 10:00The quality with which we respond to and obey the Lord in this regard has direct impact on
138. 10:14the body of Christ's ability to execute what Christ has called us to.
139. 10:20This is right here in the Scriptures, guys.
140. 10:23So as we have, and it was remarkable to consider, you know, Venezuela, yes, with the largest verifiable
141. 10:35oil reserves in the world, over $17 trillion in value.
142. 10:42And then you, and for those people say, I need to notify Congress, please miss me with that.
143. 10:46If I cry, I cry, but she might as well tell Venezuela.
144. 10:50Tell China, tell Cuba, tell Russia what's going on.
145. 10:55But executing this mission was such amazing precision.
146. 10:57And you wanna talk about a superior military.
147. 11:00I mean, good.
148. 11:01Yes.
149. 11:05I mean, it is amazing.
150. 11:06And to have the reality,
151. 11:10and President Trump talked about it a lot,
152. 11:12but for a long time, man, that we've had people.
153. 11:15You have the apology tour with Obama going around the world.
154. 11:18And you know, you have, you want to talk about a contrast.
155. 11:24We have a military with the capacity to do what was done
156. 11:29when the Iranian nuclear facilities were addressed.
157. 11:35While sending the B2 bombers in different directions
158. 11:39and have that execution occur.
159. 11:40And then you have operation absolute resolve
160. 11:43and yet we saw the great embarrassment
161. 11:46in our Afghanistan withdrawal.
162. 11:48You want to talk about a contrast in presentation, goodness.
163. 11:56But you have the reality of dealing with Maduro,
164. 12:00and as it's been discussed publicly,
165. 12:04people like to diminish this reality,
166. 12:07but the Trump administration had been in contact with Maduro
167. 12:10saying, man, listen, it's time for you to get off the pot.
168. 12:17Maduro was, come and get me Trump,
169. 12:19and then all of a sudden, you start seeing differences,
170. 12:21I'll put out these little TikTok videos.
171. 12:23Don't worry.
172. 12:25Be happy.
173. 12:26Make peace.
174. 12:28Make peace, no war.
175. 12:30You know, you see that video?
176. 12:31He was singing.
177. 12:33Don't worry.
178. 12:34Maduro, be happy.
179. 12:36Make peace, this is the same.
180. 12:38Make peace, no war.
181. 12:44Then you have this transpire.
182. 12:48So what happens in the next stages?
183. 12:52What happens next?
184. 12:54It would be complete malpractice
185. 12:57immediately turn and leave.
186. 12:58And so you certainly have to ensure some type of stability,
187. 13:05but that don't mean I'm more president Trump,
188. 13:06more national TV saying, hey, yeah, we gonna run it.
189. 13:08We're gonna run it. We're running it.
190. 13:11We gonna run it.
191. 13:12With these guys behind me, we're gonna run it.
192. 13:15It's gonna be, we're gonna run it.
193. 13:16It's like, whoa, I think you can say that
194. 13:18a little bit different, man, you know?
195. 13:19But what that demonstrates, it's in my view,
196. 13:26but it's not nearly, not exclusively in my view.
197. 13:29the need for the leader of the free world to have wisdom, to have wisdom.
198. 13:36We need God's wisdom.
199. 13:38He needs God's wisdom.
200. 13:39He needs God the counsel.
201. 13:41He needs prudence.
202. 13:42We need the capacity to have vision that persists long down the line.
203. 13:48And I do believe he's getting some of that counsel.
204. 13:49I do believe many of these actions are pursued because he knows he's not going to be in
205. 13:54president forever.
206. 13:57He's not going to be in the office as the president forever.
207. 14:02So what decisions can be made that are best for our nation?
208. 14:05What decisions can be made that are best in this instance
209. 14:08with the Venezuelan people?
210. 14:11It cannot merely be the feature of human ingenuity.
211. 14:15I believe with everything in me that the Spirit of God
212. 14:19is what led our founders to create this vision for a nation
213. 14:24that is our constitutional Republican form of government
214. 14:27with our constitution that is the longest enduring constitution
215. 14:31in the history of the world.
216. 14:35That's not merely the feature of human ingenuity.
217. 14:38I believe the Lord was involved in that.
218. 14:41And just as the Lord was involved in that diffusion of power,
219. 14:46separation of power, as crafted by our Constitution,
220. 14:50that our President needs the Lord's wisdom now.
221. 14:52We are commanding the Scriptures of people of God
222. 14:54to pray for Him as well as all manner of people
223. 14:57with all manner of prayer.
224. 15:01A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker,
225. 15:04The Word of God is the sword of the Spirit according to Ephesians 6 17.
226. 15:09Every disciple of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ needs to be a diligent student of the Word of God.
227. 15:14We would be wise to continually learn more about the spiritual weapons found in the Word of God.
228. 15:19We must continually learn more about how to do battle with every spiritual weapon.
229. 15:23Because spiritual conflict is not something we deal with from only time to time.
230. 15:27We encounter spiritual warfare every day and everywhere we go.
231. 15:31When we put these spiritual weapons to work, we're building up the kingdom of God.
232. 15:37Also, as we use these weapons, we're doing battle against the kingdom of darkness.
233. 15:42Some people may think, I don't like the idea of having to deal with spiritual warfare.
234. 15:46But like it or not, we face it every day of our lives.
235. 15:50Let's be faithful to be kingdom warriors who know how to take some of the weapons we have in the word of God
236. 15:54and use them to walk in victory daily.
237. 15:58Shining light into the darkness.
238. 16:07This is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
239. 16:11Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here.
240. 16:16So, Nicholas Maduro and his wife, is it Celia?
241. 16:21Celia! Celia!
242. 16:23Not Celia Cruz.
243. 16:25They made their appearance, their initial appearances in federal court this morning in New York.
244. 16:32called arraignment, which is where the formal charges are announced in the presence of the
245. 16:39accused parties. They are then given the opportunity to formally enter their initial plea, guilty
246. 16:46or not guilty, of course. They both pled not guilty this morning with the aid of interpreters
247. 16:51in federal court. The Maduro situation is most closely aligned to the Noriega situation.
248. 17:01All right. And so there's a reality. Now I'm going to try to talk through this.
249. 17:05And I'm just going to tell y'all now this is going to take this whole segment,
250. 17:07if not more, probably more, because I mentioned that,
251. 17:13that yet I have a tension about this.
252. 17:17There's a reality about, uh, of that.
253. 17:20There are things that we'd want to happen in the way we'd like for them to
254. 17:22happen. And then there's a reality of the world that we live in.
255. 17:24And then how do we navigate all of it? You know,
256. 17:28so first I mentioned the Manuel Noriega situation.
257. 17:32So Noriego was the de facto ruler of Panama, who was indicted in 1988 in the United States
258. 17:41of America.
259. 17:43We didn't have social media and video and cameras everywhere then, but the United States
260. 17:46of America did something very similar to what happened here.
261. 17:50Went into Panama after Noriego held himself up in the Vatican Embassy in Panama.
262. 17:54Remember that?
263. 17:56And the U.S. said, sir, you either come out or you walk out or be carried out.
264. 18:05And so he decided, come on out.
265. 18:08That is precedent, the Noriega circumstances precedent, more closest aligned to what's
266. 18:19happening here.
267. 18:20So let's talk, man, I can go in many different ways.
268. 18:24I'm going to talk about the policy front first.
269. 18:28There are several things people need to understand.
270. 18:31For example, among the charges against Nicholas Maduro was that he is the head of the narco-terrorism
271. 18:39and the drug cartel, the sole Spanish for cartel of the sons.
272. 18:46And a lot of people have questions about that.
273. 18:48Where did that idea come from?
274. 18:49In our country, in our military, we have generals and they have various stars, four star generals,
275. 18:54stars, their rank is indicated by the number of stars that they are addressed by.
276. 19:01Well, in Venezuela, they didn't use stars, they used suns.
277. 19:06So when you have the cartel addressed as the cartel of the suns, what they're literally
278. 19:09saying is that this is a cartel that is run ultimately by our military, of which Maduro
279. 19:18is the al-hefi of the military.
280. 19:22Yeah, the chief of the military.
281. 19:25So he's the one that is the big dog, the big boss of this drug cartel.
282. 19:34So he was indicted.
283. 19:35He and his wife, some people were not aware, but in 2020, the Maduro was indicted for corruption
284. 19:45charges, narco-terrorism charges, drug trafficking charges, certain homicides in relationship to
285. 19:51the drug trafficking and the whole bit, hence the description of narco-terrorism.
286. 19:55terrorism. It's not only drugs, it's also the violence murder mayhem that accompanies the drug
287. 20:00trade. Alright. Another thing some people may not be aware of, and this goes to the federal
288. 20:07government's argument that what they did is somewhat akin to the execution of an arrest warrant,
289. 20:15not of a head of state because the United States of America did not recognize Maduro as the head of
290. 20:22of the Venezuelan state,
291. 20:25not just under Trump currently,
292. 20:26dating back prior to the current Trump administration,
293. 20:30that also included the Biden administration.
294. 20:32People fail to remember that.
295. 20:34The Biden administration never acknowledged Maduro
296. 20:37as the leader of Venezuela,
297. 20:39neither does does currently the European Union,
298. 20:43several other international nations, all right.
299. 20:47And much of that was even brought to a head
300. 20:49with the 2024 Venezuelan election.
301. 20:53and I'm putting the election in air quotes,
302. 20:55because the evidence that was documented from the election
303. 20:57is that Maduro lost that election by over 40 points.
304. 21:00The opposition won the election
305. 21:02with about 70% of the available vote total,
306. 21:07in which Nicolas Maduro just,
307. 21:09he pulled an effort from Dreamgirls,
308. 21:12and I'm telling you, I ain't going nowhere.
309. 21:17He's not going nowhere, what'd you tell him?
310. 21:18Lost, who lost?
311. 21:21You lost, because I'm still here.
312. 21:24In addition to all of that information,
313. 21:28people may not be aware.
314. 21:31And this is something that Maria Corino Machado,
315. 21:36the head of the opposition in Venezuela,
316. 21:38has pointed out, because they said,
317. 21:39well, the US is just,
318. 21:41in Venezuela is being invaded by the US,
319. 21:44and she was like, what?
320. 21:45Venezuela has already been invaded.
321. 21:47The Venezuela has been invaded by the Chinese
322. 21:49and the Iranians and the Cubans and the Russians,
323. 21:53it's been invaded.
324. 21:54Like, who do you think has been running
325. 21:56the oil business in Venezuela, since Hugo Chavez nationalized the industry.
326. 22:05All right.
327. 22:06We got to take a few steps back to make sure everybody understands history that Hugo
328. 22:10Chavez was elected president of Venezuela in 1998 by the Venezuelan people.
329. 22:17You don't hear me by the Venezuelan people upon being elected.
330. 22:21He began to nationalize all of various private industries.
331. 22:25It is a fact that it is the United States's oil and gas expertise that led to Venezuela's
332. 22:35thriving in the 50s and 60s.
333. 22:38That's just the truth.
334. 22:39They were working in coordination.
335. 22:41I'm talking to the private companies, not anything governmental, but the private companies,
336. 22:45the oil and gas companies, United States companies, American companies, were working to help them
337. 22:51to basically get the black gold, if you will, out of the ground, and to bring it to market.
338. 22:56That's just a fact.
339. 22:57But Chavez nationalized it.
340. 23:00Maduro, the former bus driver, turned Chavez confidant, was a success of an interest to that
341. 23:09under Hugo Chavez.
342. 23:11I mentioned previously that it is instructive that a significant, if not majority, of a Maduro's
343. 23:18personal guard or actually Cubans? Why would you ask would there be such a
344. 23:26robust Cuban presence in Venezuela? Well ladies and gentlemen it's because of
345. 23:33the ideological commonality. Venezuela was a hub for all things. Marxist nation
346. 23:42largely because of, sure, the ideological alignment but because of their
347. 23:49of present the president's oil and gas.
348. 23:52The combination of oil and gas and the drugs served as the monetary engine for much of the
349. 23:57Marxist engagement and expansion in South and Central America and the Caribbean area and
350. 24:04served as a source of fueling for Marxism internationally.
351. 24:08For example, with the nationalization of the oil and gas industry in Venezuela, guess where
352. 24:16the majority of Venezuelan oil exports went?
353. 24:19Anybody want to take a guess?
354. 24:20You know, you can put a blindfold on and take a dart out
355. 24:23and throw it at a world dartboard and hit this one.
356. 24:27I said this, I asked the same question to my children.
357. 24:29They said, China, say, bingo, China, China.
358. 24:37So much of the, many of the actions,
359. 24:41or should I say this this way, action in Venezuela,
360. 24:43it's not solely about Venezuela in the least bit.
361. 24:46It was a mechanism by which the Trump administration
362. 24:49had decided that, oh no, we have to pull the plug
363. 24:53as best as we can on China and on Russia and this is a means for us to do so.
364. 25:03You also have the reality that there's island off the coast of Venezuela.
365. 25:08Well, Hezbollah does all of the training for the Venezuelan military members.
366. 25:13Yeah, Hezbollah, the terrorist group.
367. 25:15Hezbollah.
368. 25:16From Iraq.
369. 25:18Yeah, yeah, those guys.
370. 25:20Uh-huh.
371. 25:21Yeah.
372. 25:22So it was a fulcrum for...
373. 25:27Guys, international chaos with a collegiality between these Marxists and these Islamic terrorists.
374. 25:42Guys, these are just facts.
375. 25:45You also have this reality.
376. 25:46And I don't hear many people talking about this, maybe because they don't want to talk
377. 25:49about it in public, but I will.
378. 25:52I will.
379. 25:53Equal opportunity truth teller.
380. 25:54Anybody want to guess what happened in 2018 under Nicholas Maduro?
381. 25:58Mm hmm.
382. 25:59Okay, I'll get to it. I won't make you eating longer guess who announced to the world that from now on we will no longer
383. 26:08export our oil
384. 26:11Using the American dollar or the petro dollar
385. 26:14Yeah, you remember that? Uh-huh guess who decided to do that?
386. 26:18Venezuela in fact
387. 26:21since 2018 they had been trafficking their oil and
388. 26:25Every currency possible except the US dollar while
389. 26:30while lobbying to become a member nation of bricks.
390. 26:36Mm-hmm.
391. 26:38You see, the petro dollar is one of the prominent reasons
392. 26:41why the dollar has been the world's reserve currency.
393. 26:46Maduro, along with, stop, you've heard this before,
394. 26:49but his Marxist and Islamic terrorist allies
395. 26:54sought every way possible to try to harm
396. 26:57the United States of America.
397. 27:00That was a huge component of what their commitments were.
398. 27:04So I understand the policy prerogatives,
399. 27:09and frankly, I agree with the policy prerogatives
400. 27:14of accomplishing what the president accomplished.
401. 27:17And again, another demonstration of the unmatched,
402. 27:21my United States military, I mean, goodness gracious,
403. 27:24and as I mentioned about praying for our leadership,
404. 27:28don't forget to pray for our military leadership.
405. 27:30Currently we have Pete Hegseth as the Secretary of War
406. 27:33for the Department of War,
407. 27:35but all of our military leadership.
408. 27:39And can we just take a second and breathe and exhale?
409. 27:44Doesn't it feel good for America not to be viewed
410. 27:46as a sap around the world for a moment again?
411. 27:50I could speak for myself as a father and a husband.
412. 27:55I was appalled when you had the American president
413. 27:59going around the world,
414. 28:00Virginia Flecting, to all these nations
415. 28:02bowing to these people, kissing the proverbial ring.
416. 28:04I'm like, what?
417. 28:07And then you had the previous longstanding
418. 28:10foreign policy position called the Monroe Doctrine and people might have heard those
419. 28:14terms thrown around.
420. 28:15You may or may not have been aware what that means.
421. 28:17Well that goes all the way back to the United States.
422. 28:19Fifth President James Monroe in 1823 in an effort to stymie, stop, get this, European
423. 28:27colonial expansion into Latin America, Central and South America.
424. 28:33James Monroe articulated publicly it wasn't anything in a secret corner, wasn't whispering
425. 28:39these things.
426. 28:40He articulated America's foreign policy that any efforts of these foreign nations to encroach
427. 28:45upon any events in our hemisphere is viewed as an act of hostility against the United States
428. 28:53of America.
429. 28:55James Monroe can articulate that position because this perspective was we are the preeminent power
430. 29:03in the Western Hemisphere.
431. 29:04And so any effort to set up a beachhead in our hemisphere will be viewed as an effort
432. 29:10to make an encroach when the gang starts.
433. 29:11That's what Jay-Fouro said.
434. 29:13This had been American foreign policy pretty much from 1823,
435. 29:18all the way up until you get to Clinton and,
436. 29:24and Obama and things of that nature,
437. 29:26and you get the little,
438. 29:27screamers, you wish you washy on that.
439. 29:30You know?
440. 29:32So I understand, you know, I was on this show,
441. 29:39screaming out loud.
442. 29:40It's like, hey, is this thing on?
443. 29:42Anybody wanna tell me why there's
444. 29:44international spy base being constructed 60 miles off of the coast of Florida on this
445. 29:51island called Cuba and it's been constructed by the Chinese anybody anybody any existing
446. 29:57on because of that same type of phenomena.
447. 30:02So I get it on a policy front, but the tension that I have and I think this is an appropriate
448. 30:06tension and this is why it's so amazing to be a citizen in the United States of America,
449. 30:11But we should have a conversation about the constitutionality.
450. 30:15So I mentioned before about the president and Marco Rubio, who's doing an amazing job,
451. 30:23articulating what's happening, saying that, well, because we did not view Maduro as the
452. 30:30head of state and because he had an outstanding, he was a fugitive of justice due to the indictment
453. 30:38that we were bringing this fugitive to justice.
454. 30:41on the one hand for people to say, ah, this is just a tyrannical movement.
455. 30:45Man, stop the presses.
456. 30:46They, they've been talking.
457. 30:48They had offered so many different offers to Maduro that they had made all kind of overtures
458. 30:52to him.
459. 30:53And in the words of Marco Rubio, he decided to play games.
460. 30:58He decided to play games, meaning Maduro.
461. 31:01Don't worry, be happy.
462. 31:03Make peace.
463. 31:04No war.
464. 31:05That's the song he was saying.
465. 31:07Make peace.
466. 31:08No war.
467. 31:09You decided to play games.
468. 31:10All right.
469. 31:12that what happened with Noriega, you can either walk out or be carried out. You choose my
470. 31:16man. She's the United States of America made the same proposition to Maduro. He decided
471. 31:23to be carried out. All right. And think about the precision. I mean, in conversations about
472. 31:29the execution that they were able to be in and out of that military compound in three
473. 31:32minutes when the green light goes, the entire scope of the mission surely took more than three
474. 31:39minutes. But the actual on the ground in and out three, three minutes. President Trump
475. 31:45said he was running for his safe room and he got to the safe room but he couldn't
476. 31:48close the door. What? This is wild. This is this is wild. And don't you think for
477. 32:00one moment that the message is only to the Venezuela's because as I mentioned
478. 32:04early in the previous segment guess who was still in Venezuela why this is
479. 32:07happening? The foreign diplomat from China. He just had a McVee that day. To
480. 32:19which the United States of America similar
481. 32:21to sending the B2 bombers out to the Pacific West,
482. 32:25to the Pacific, and we got our eyes on you.
483. 32:29Let in the world know, hey, by the way,
484. 32:31we have these capabilities and maybe to do all of that
485. 32:33would not want American casualty.
486. 32:40I'm grateful to God for the type of military prowess
487. 32:43and expertise we have, because you cannot have peace
488. 32:47through strength if there's no strength.
489. 32:51There is no peace through strength without strength.

507. 34:15someone to devour. One of the

511. 34:27inication, adultery, lust, pornography, and more.

520. 35:08are available at AFR.net.
521. 35:11Back to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
522. 35:15Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton.
523. 35:18The third here, we're already in the final segment, man.
524. 35:21Bob was saying, man, the breaks feel shorter.
525. 35:23The show feels shorter.
526. 35:30You know, I know there's a lot of screeching
527. 35:32by Democrat elected officials.
528. 35:34And you know, honestly, I don't want to hear it.
529. 35:37There's not a dictator or Marxist dictator
530. 35:39they won't defend.
531. 35:40You know, it just, it boggles my mind.
532. 35:44Like here's an example.
533. 35:45This is information that came out during the Christmas break
534. 35:49to where the state of Georgia, for example,
535. 35:51has come out and admitted, hey, by the way,
536. 35:53we did have like 350,000 some odd votes
537. 35:55that were counted in 2020 election
538. 35:57and never should have been counted.
539. 36:00These people literally tried to put President Trump in jail
540. 36:02for saying that.
541. 36:04And how many of his lawyers?
542. 36:06And many of his lawyers, including our college in Ellis,
543. 36:10for saying, hey, y'all cheated.
544. 36:14And the difference in Georgia was like 11,000 votes.
545. 36:1911,000 votes.
546. 36:22They'll try to put President Trump in jail for that,
547. 36:24but they want to defend Maduro.
548. 36:26And these people didn't say a word.
549. 36:29When you know, more Mark Gaddafi, he just, he gone.
550. 36:36He went, it just, they just spare me on that.
551. 36:40Like, I can understand the arguments that are made
552. 36:45in terms of questioning the legality.
553. 36:47I think that's appropriate.
554. 36:48I do think that's appropriate.
555. 36:50But these people defend Maduro personally, personally.
556. 36:54And you have all of these folks trying to be proxies
557. 36:56others when Venezuela's wailing people are dancing in the streets, dancing in the streets.
558. 37:01You got people in our country from Venezuela saying, I can't wait to go home.
559. 37:09It's crazy, man.
560. 37:11But getting back to the conversation that was happening about the legality, I understand
561. 37:14the argument that the administration is trying to make concerning there being an outstanding
562. 37:22criminal charges, being an indictment.
563. 37:26But as an attorney who I have prosecuted people who have been wanted domestically and yet
564. 37:36they've absconded into international locations, what you usually transpires in those instances
565. 37:41is that there requires, there is required a collaborative effort between the American
566. 37:48jurisdictional law enforcement agency and the foreign agency.
567. 37:53Hence, the notion of extradition.
568. 37:55Like you can't be the active party going and get somebody say about we just extraditing them
569. 38:06That I'm sorry that dog don't hunt and I understand what they're trying to say but
570. 38:10but
571. 38:11I'm not too sure about that and if for those who are who would have the statements and say well yet yes
572. 38:17We have to get get congressional approval
573. 38:20Did y'all see the list of folks that just came out in Congress says kind of on the on the dole from Venezuela?
574. 38:25Did you see that?
575. 38:27And if you're trying to accomplish something with the aid of the element of surprise, you
576. 38:36don't want to tell these folks on the front end.
577. 38:39And that is due to the corruption of our own Congress.
578. 38:43And that is something that has to be wrestled with.
579. 38:46That's something that has to be wrestled with.
580. 38:49We have the evidences of our own corruption in our own Congress.
581. 38:59It changes the weight that should be afforded statements from many of those exact same congress
582. 39:05members who said, oh, well, you should have checked with us first.
583. 39:12So there is, there are multiple levels with this.
584. 39:16And then in this, and I don't think I haven't heard anybody talk about this, but can we be
585. 39:20real about something else?
586. 39:22You all right?
587. 39:25Can we be real awesome?
588. 39:27How, let me say it this way, how ubiquitous and pernicious would drug trafficking be into
589. 39:36the United States of America if we didn't have such a significant percentage or population
590. 39:42of Americans who want the drugs, then change anything like the illegality.
591. 39:50We have to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.
592. 39:52So I'm saying these are all things that I'm holding intention.
593. 39:57I understand the policy position.
594. 39:59I understand the necessity of having an American foreign policy that we're going to have peace
595. 40:04through strength.
596. 40:05You got to have strength.
597. 40:08That's a lesson from the block.
598. 40:10Ain't nobody, ain't nobody checking for somebody who can't support themselves.
599. 40:14Even this whole thing.
600. 40:16I've been talking to my sons about this.
601. 40:20Unjust violence is wrong and sinful, but every man has to have the capacity of a certain
602. 40:26level of violence to defend myself and my family.
603. 40:29I have to have the wherewithal to do so.
604. 40:31If I don't have the wherewithal, this is why the spirit, the fruit of the spirit self-control in having, you know, a man of God who is meek, meekness is not weakness, it is strength under control.
605. 40:47But the under control part is made significant because of the presence of the strength.
606. 40:52You understand what I'm saying?
607. 40:58So I understand that.
608. 41:00Then you have the tension, but we have to be constitutional.
609. 41:04institutional.
610. 41:05So you do have circumstantial precedent with Manuel Noriega.
611. 41:16And if you're unfamiliar with that case, I encourage you to go in and examine that case
612. 41:20and look at the similarities and the differences.
613. 41:25But precedent alone, precedent alone is it cannot be the ultimate governing factor.
614. 41:33So I'll be talking more about this and more about this and processing this as more from
615. 41:38Information comes available.
616. 41:41You know, you do have the reality that President Trump has said that it's not going to be a
617. 41:47governmental exercise, but we'll have American private industry that'll be involved in helping
618. 41:52to replace the Marxist oil and gas industry, which will be profitable for Venezuelans first
619. 42:05for most just as it was in the fifties and the sixties and then decades past. But it also
620. 42:13be beneficial for the United States of America to no longer have right in our own backdoor,
621. 42:18right in our own hemisphere, a hub for Iran, China, Russia, you know, all things. Moses,
622. 42:27Mordecai, Mark's levy, right in our own backdoor. So having an interception and the guys, this
623. 42:32the consequence to have long-standing implications for our nation, far beyond the remainder of the
624. 42:38President's current term. It's also interesting and there were conversations as well about
625. 42:50you know, Colombia and Petro over there, the President said, he needs to watch out.
626. 42:56It's interesting. It's interesting what's happening there. Then you have this and I thought this was
627. 43:07like, boy, isn't that telling? So in a mere 18 months, you have in Minnesota, Tim Waltz,
628. 43:15who's gone from being the vice presidential candidate for the Democrat Party in the United
629. 43:19States of America to being thought of by some, not me, but some folks were talking like, Oh,
630. 43:25Tim Waltz, my wife for president in 2028. I was like, president of what? President of what?
631. 43:31The gumball machine distribution center? I mean, president of what? But there people
632. 43:35we're talking about that. Well, he's now announced that he is no longer seeking reelection to
633. 43:40the governorship in Minnesota. Now, Tim Waltz is a two-term Minnesota governor was seeking
634. 43:45a third term, seeking a third term as the Minnesota's governor. And there's one thing
635. 43:53really, one thing that led to this point and it is the Somali fraud scandal. You know,
636. 44:06have a young man I think is Shirley David Shirley I believe is the name it was
637. 44:12David Nick Shirley not David Nick Shirley who put together a documentary going to
638. 44:18different places around in Minnesota to saying these are these are child care
639. 44:23centers they are on the federal dole getting all kinds of money for all
640. 44:28kinds of programs even had one child care center to call itself the leering
641. 44:32center because it misspelled learning. Yeah, the, the
642. 44:36leering, no in and two eyes, you know, the leering center and
643. 44:39they're going and they, there's no children anywhere. There's no,
644. 44:43like what? And this is all happening on Tim Walsh's watch. And
645. 44:48y'all mean, I was gonna say you won't believe what he tried to, to
646. 44:52explain as a reason for this investigation.
647. 45:03And I was like, dude, you gonna say that out loud?
648. 45:07That's the reason for this?
649. 45:09That's the reason for this?
650. 45:10Yeah, I was gonna say you wouldn't believe me, but y'all believe me.
651. 45:13You believe me.
652. 45:14But you don't have to just believe me because I'm gonna show you what he said.
653. 45:17This dude had the audacity to say that the only reason why, this is what he said.
654. 45:22The only reason why they're investigating fraud by the Somalis in Minnesota.
655. 45:28Now, y'all, some of y'all beat me to the punch.
656. 45:30What do y'all think the reason why?
657. 45:32You know what it was, Bobby?
658. 45:35It was white supremacy.
659. 45:36Guys, I'm not joking.
660. 45:37I'm not joking.
661. 45:40That's what the reason was.
662. 45:41I would let you hear it for yourself.
663. 45:45Listen to and watch.
664. 45:47Clip number one, Tim Walz is explaining why this is why fraud is being investigated in
665. 45:53Minnesota against the Somalis, in the fraud in Minnesota.
666. 45:57Clip number one, go.
667. 45:58This is what happens when your own federal government wages war against you.
668. 46:02This is what happens when they target communities for their own benefit.
669. 46:05This is what happens when they scapegoat.
670. 46:07And this is what say happens when they no longer hide the idea of white supremacy.
671. 46:11Boy, you wild for that one boy.
672. 46:24Boy, you wild for that one, Tim.
673. 46:27Boy you put the tampons and the boys' bathrooms and how you put white supremacy on the Somali
674. 46:30frost scandal.
675. 46:31Boy, you wild boy.
676. 46:33Boy, you wild for that.
677. 46:36Guys, I heard that and I wasn't like, I was doing something else and I heard it and I was
678. 46:41like, wait, what?
679. 46:42I was like, can you run it?
680. 46:47supremacy. The idea of white supremacy. Oh boy. Boy, that's a
681. 46:57wiper boy. Boy, that's wow boy. I was what? So you have billions
682. 47:06of American taxpayer dollars. You got people being arrested
683. 47:13right and left. You got the immigration fraud on one hand
684. 47:17is like, it's like they they they listen into a paparejo, you
685. 47:22He emogates you front on one hand and he got the Somali front another hand and they just
686. 47:26hey ho and fro.
687. 47:28Alright now Bobby, Bobby might start dancing.
688. 47:34You guys saw a brig dancing.
689. 47:36And this boy says, oh this is what happens when the federal government wages the federal
690. 47:43government wages.
691. 47:45Why do you have the leering centers in Minnesota getting all that federal money?
692. 47:49the teacher when then he say he was a school teacher and the children's
693. 47:54leering centers. The leering centers, you know, where they're leering, they're
694. 47:58leering so well in the leering centers. And so the billions of dollars were
695. 48:01giving them for the for the leering is working out so very much so very well.
696. 48:05And so you've seen it, you've seen a complete reversal of fortune. Tim Walsh
697. 48:10just announced his reelection campaign that come on once and go. And so now, you
698. 48:15know, one thing these people know, they know I understand elections is like, man,
699. 48:19and I am about to be embarrassed here."
700. 48:23So he's now announced that he will no longer seek election.
701. 48:29Let me read what he said from his statement.
702. 48:32He will no longer seek reelection.
703. 48:34Let me get to it, let me get to it.
704. 48:39He said he didn't have the focus.
705. 48:43Yes, he no longer has the focus to run for election.
706. 48:47Quote, every minute I spend defending my own political interests
707. 48:50would be a minute I can't spend defending the people
708. 48:52Minnesota against the criminals who prey on our generosity and the cynics who
709. 48:57prey on our differences." In quote. Remember, remember, yes, so Bobby made a
710. 49:04great observation. He's referring to fraud as generosity. Remember what he said
711. 49:08about communism and Marxism before? He called it neighborliness. Remember? See,
712. 49:14there's a worldview that is there, but see it wasn't enough for him to have his
713. 49:20worldview exposed, it took for the political pressure surrounding this fraud.
714. 49:25You know, you got about what?
715. 49:26Nine, ten billion dollars that we're looking for.
716. 49:31Okay, where did it go?
717. 49:34Tim Walsh apparently thinks that's just nine billion in generosity, you see.
718. 49:38That's nine billion in generosity.
719. 49:40So, well, the generosity has led to him announcing he's no longer seeking office.
720. 49:45And so, what a precipitous fall from grace, so to speak, if there was a perch of grace in
721. 49:50the first place from the Democrat nominee to the presidency, a two term governor.
722. 49:55And now he's like, you know what?
723. 49:58I'm just going to bow out.
724. 49:59And then again, and once again, you think the people are not very bright because you'll
725. 50:02say everyone might not spend focus on my own political future.
726. 50:06What do you think a reelection campaign was, my man?
727. 50:08That's what you were doing.
728. 50:09You were running for reelection in the first place.
729. 50:10No, let's keep it a book.
730. 50:12The reason why you resign is that you can't explain why you allowed all that fraud on your
731. 50:17watch, simply because you really care about the fraud, as long as it didn't negatively
732. 50:22impact your political outlook.
733. 50:24That's the bottom line.
734. 50:26But what a weekend.
735. 50:28We'll get more into this throughout the week.
736. 50:30We're just scratching the surface frankly on this Nicholas Maduro story.
737. 50:34You all have a wonderful evening.
738. 50:35Woodwillings will be back tomorrow.
