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. 0:15Delivering 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. 0:28And now, the Hamilton Corner.
11. 0:33Good evening, everyone.
12. 0:35Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio.
13. 0:38I'm your host, Abraham Hamilton, the third joined by the corner
14. 0:42contingent right across from me, my man, 100 grand.
15. 0:45Mr. Bobby, Rosa is in the studio,
16. 0:49and in the screening room produce extraordinary,
17. 0:51often imitated, but never duplicated.
18. 0:54The real J. Mack, y'all, is with us,
19. 0:56and we are ready to rock and roll
20. 0:58with today's edition of the program.
21. 1:00At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you,
22. 1:04are making your transition from your part time jobs,
23. 1:06where you generate an income to your full time jobs,
24. 1:11where you cultivate an outcome.
25. 1:12And as you do so, I want to remind you to do it with intentionality, understand in the
26. 1:17primacy that God places on family.
27. 1:22I know for some of you, it's like, man, you say that every day and I'm going to continue
28. 1:27to say it every day because with all of the things swirling around us, it's very easy to
29. 1:33take our eyes off the ball and become distracted.
30. 1:37But it's vitally important that we don't allow our attention to be diverted to such a degree
31. 1:43to where we become neglectful of what should be ground zero,
32. 1:50which is battening down the hatches at home.
33. 1:52We will never, guys, never be able to out politic,
34. 1:57out vote, out Supreme Court opinion,
35. 2:00frankly even out church deficiencies
36. 2:02that abound in the home.
37. 2:06We cannot sidestep God's means yet enjoy God's results.
38. 2:11results. That's just a fundamental reality. And much of what has befallen us here in the
39. 2:17United States of America really is the outside manifestation of the deficiencies that have
40. 2:23abounded in the home for far too long. I was talking yesterday about how it's so, it's
41. 2:32sad, frankly, how we have so many generations of Americans recently who have not been the
42. 2:38the beneficiaries of things like studies in economics.
43. 2:42We used to teach economics in school in America.
44. 2:45When the last time you had someone say,
45. 2:47hey, my child had economics course.
46. 2:50And I said yesterday that that's intentional, guys.
47. 2:54It's far easier to manipulate people
48. 2:59concerning economics if they're ignorant of it.
49. 3:03While we could easily point the finger and complain,
50. 3:05oh, look what the school system is doing.
51. 3:08What does the scripture say?
52. 3:09Who is the scripture say is ultimately responsible
53. 3:11for what happens with our children?
54. 3:13So we can complain about the quote unquote system,
55. 3:16but ultimately we parents are the ones who are responsible
56. 3:18for it.
57. 3:20And here's the thing, here's the thing, a failure to apply
58. 3:25oneself to a study in economics is a failure to recognize.
59. 3:31That economics truly is a study in the discipline of managing
60. 3:35the resources that God entrusts to our care.
61. 3:39and an awareness that God cares about what he entrusts to our care because he cares about
62. 3:46us. One of the things we talked about in the class we had recently, and it's fresh on my
63. 3:51mind because we just finished the semester in the study of economics with my children and
64. 3:57some children from our church and our homeschooling community here locally and started at the very
65. 4:03beginning we had a conversation about the term economics is derived from the Greek word
66. 4:07economists, which means Stewart.
67. 4:11That's literally what it means.
68. 4:12So the very term that we use to describe,
69. 4:15you know, macroeconomics, microeconomics,
70. 4:18including things like the stock market is borrowed
71. 4:21from a worldview that we simply are repeating the word Stewart.
72. 4:25We wouldn't even know it.
73. 4:28And so that, I'm using that as an example to show
74. 4:31that I don't think anybody sat out and said,
75. 4:33hey, let me make sure that I am defying
76. 4:36what the scripture says about economics,
77. 4:37But it is a rebellion, but it's the byproduct of an ignorance.
78. 4:44And that ignorance was compounded generationally.
79. 4:48And it's led us to the place where our nation is outside's debt.
80. 4:51But not only our nation, we went from a nation where over 95% of the populace was completely
81. 4:57debt free.
82. 4:58Following the Federal Reserve Act of 719-13, now over 95% of our populace is riddled with
83. 5:03debt.
84. 5:04And not just debt.
85. 5:05We have outsized consumer debt.
86. 5:07of control interest rates. That's why you have, just like when the Tarte bailout came out,
87. 5:12you have lots of Americans saying, hey, we need to do long things because we need a personal
88. 5:15bailout. But all of that flows from a combination of financial illiteracy, a lack of understanding
89. 5:21economics. But the truth of economics, the root of it is that God cares about the resources he
90. 5:28entrusts our care. So it's frankly and summarily a deficiency in stewardship, which unsurprisingly
91. 5:37comes all the way back around to discipleship.
92. 5:42That's what I'm talking about.
93. 5:42That's just an example,
94. 5:44that's just an example of what I'm talking about.
95. 5:48You know, we've talked before, you know,
96. 5:49economics, civics classes.
97. 5:53Well, don't even get me started on that.
98. 5:56But that's an example of what I'm talking about.
99. 5:57Now, to the word of God, we go.
100. 6:00I'm saying all of that to say that as you're making
101. 6:01your transition to your full-time jobs,
102. 6:04do so with intentionality.
103. 6:06Do so with intentionality.
104. 6:08For those of us who are in the life stage as I am with young children at our home,
105. 6:11guys, you and I are ultimately responsible for what happens and what we do with God's
106. 6:17heritage that he's entrusted to our care in the form of our children.
107. 6:21We can't complain about the system because we're ultimately responsible for them.
108. 6:27To the word of God we go.
109. 6:29I want to go back to the book of Jude.
110. 6:32And I want to just have a conversation with you based on this scripture.
111. 6:35Jude, you recall it's a very brief epistle, didn't have any chapter divisions because it's
112. 6:43all one notion.
113. 6:44So the first four verses of the book of Jude read thusly, Jude, a bond servant of Jesus Christ
114. 6:49and brother of James.
115. 6:52To those who are the called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ.
116. 7:00May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.
117. 7:04Beloved while I was making every effort to write to you about our common salvation, I felt
118. 7:08the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith which was
119. 7:13once for all handed down to the saints. For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those
120. 7:21who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn or
121. 7:26who pervert the grace of our Lord God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and
122. 7:33Lord Jesus Christ. I want to point out something that is clear in the text but
123. 7:43it's something that because of culture and kind of I would say a Darwinian hubris
124. 7:50for that leads to a modernity bias you know we act as if ancient people
125. 7:55automatically ignorant in imbeciles the whole kind of thing of who the
126. 8:00underthalls guys I'll just say it plainly that's an
127. 8:04on the book of Notion.
128. 8:05We have these people that ascribe to these Darwinian mindsets concerning prior generations
129. 8:12of mankind, and we still can't figure out how peer me has got constructed.
130. 8:22The scripture says that I'm writing to appeal to you that you contend earnestly for the faith
131. 8:34which was once for all handed down to the saints.
132. 8:41The reason why I wanted to have a conversation
133. 8:44about that portion of this text is because truth
134. 8:50is transcendent, objective, immutable, and enduring.
135. 8:59Many people have noted, as I have on this program,
136. 9:03the reality that younger men
137. 9:08are ascribing to conservative values and younger men
138. 9:14are returning to church and outside fashion.
139. 9:20That we are in a moment in time
140. 9:22to where our nation has experimented frankly
141. 9:25with the folly of modernity.
142. 9:30There's an old saying, if you open everything,
143. 9:32you're so open minded to be careful
144. 9:34that your brain don't fall out kind of thing.
145. 9:36And the sad reality is that we've had generations of Americans
146. 9:42who have experimented with the kind of flow
147. 9:48from modernism to post-modernism
148. 9:52to really post-truth culture.
149. 9:57But as Mike Tyson offered his theorems,
150. 9:59everybody got a plan until they get hit in the mouth.
151. 10:02And then they get hit in the mouth
152. 10:04with the reality of life, you know?
153. 10:08So you had younger men historically being promiscuous,
154. 10:14rampant fornication,
155. 10:17staving off marriage commitment, young women,
156. 10:20abandoning family for career and pursuit.
157. 10:23And then Ruttrow, the Sex and the City phenomenon I said
158. 10:26and lots of the people who tried those things
159. 10:28are realizing, man, here I am.
160. 10:33But it's cold and lonely in this house
161. 10:35and this is Christmas time.
162. 10:37What I'm saying is that you're witnessing a society
163. 10:40having a turn in this moment toward something that is transcendent and enduring and immutable.
164. 10:50And folks, that simply is the truth.
165. 10:52It is noteworthy that the Scripture says that the gospel, the faith which was once and for
166. 11:00all handed down to the saints.
167. 11:03I made this point in a couple of places I was speaking privately.
168. 11:06We have to understand places like universities and in some seminaries really are a business
169. 11:11model where they're generating revenue. And so one of the things that they use to generate
170. 11:16revenue is they come up with the freshest, newest, flashiest thing to which I would say,
171. 11:23how are you going to come up with something new when the faith has been once and for all
172. 11:27handed down to the saints millennia? To millennia ago. In fact, you should be wary if somebody
173. 11:33comes up with a new gospel. And how much she canery? Like a critical theory and critical
174. 11:43race theory and efforts to try to reconcile those things with the scripture.
175. 11:48All of that came out of academia.
176. 11:52What they were kind of like, uh, act 17 and coming from places where they just want to talk
177. 11:57about what's the fastest and latest newest idea that I'm trying to live anything.
178. 12:01They just want to have their, oh, did we talk about these yesterday?
179. 12:04Ears tickled.
180. 12:06And so then you have these ideas that filter their way out into, into society and then society
181. 12:11tries these ideas and then you realize, man, you know, it's kind of stupid to have a whole
182. 12:15society bending over backwards to try to accommodate some kind of DEI policy.
183. 12:19That's absurd.
184. 12:22And as that is happening, the people of God have a clear and present opportunity to say,
185. 12:30hey, you're looking for something that is immutable, though mankind fluctuates, though the winds
186. 12:37and waves of society change, there is a rock that is higher than us.
187. 12:44I want to encourage you to boldly proclaim the enduring transcendent objective immutable
188. 12:55truth in this generation, in this generation.
189. 13:03I never forget I had the privilege to be a part of it.
190. 13:05I was facilitating a Bible study in the Orleans, Louisiana, and we met on Friday nights.
191. 13:12We didn't have any smoke machines.
192. 13:14we have no fancy band.
193. 13:16What we had is God's word and his word alone.
194. 13:19And we would break open the bread of life.
195. 13:21And you won't believe what would happen.
196. 13:23You would think on a Friday night,
197. 13:24you got all kind of stuff to do in the Orleans.
198. 13:28What did the Lord do?
199. 13:29He drew young men, 20 something.
200. 13:36For one purpose to break open the bread of life.
201. 13:41The Lord said, if I be lifted up,
202. 13:42I would draw all men to myself.
203. 13:44What I'm saying, and this is one of the things
204. 13:45that one of the legacies,
205. 13:47and during legacy from Charlie Kirk's life.
206. 13:50You know, encouraging young men to get married,
207. 13:52become husbands, become fathers.
208. 13:55Don't delay those commitments,
209. 13:57invest yourselves in such a way.
210. 13:59It's a huge component of maturation as a young man.
211. 14:02And you're seeing more and more young men realizing this
212. 14:07because truth guys plainly put this objective,
213. 14:11transcendent, immutable, and enduring.
214. 14:17The scripture says we must work
215. 14:19while it is day.
216. 14:21Let us be a part of connecting the dots for people
217. 14:24who have been exhausted by the vacuousness
218. 14:28and the superficiality of modern,
219. 14:34pun intended, transient,
220. 14:37ways in society and desire something
221. 14:42that is immutable and enduring and transcendent.
222. 14:46I will tell you without fear of contradiction
223. 14:50that that yearning is for the eternal truth of the gospel.
224. 14:55And the gospel is the only place
225. 14:57that yearning will be satisfied.
226. 15:01A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
227. 15:05Genesis is a wonderful, powerful, and supernatural book.
228. 15:09It's the book that begins to answer our questions about God.
229. 15:14People ask many questions about life,
230. 15:16real questions that they wish to get answers for,
231. 15:19questions such as, where did we come from?
232. 15:22Who created us?
233. 15:24Who created the world?
234. 15:26Who created the universe?
235. 15:28What is the purpose of life?
236. 15:30These are only a few of many legitimate questions
237. 15:33that people often ask.
238. 15:35If you'd ask many scientists in our culture today,
239. 15:38what are some of your main goals
240. 15:39and what is your purpose in studying science?
241. 15:42We're trying to find out who we are
242. 15:44and where we came from.
243. 15:46The word of God has answers, many, many answers.
244. 15:50It's God's word that gives us answers
245. 15:52to all of our questions.
246. 15:54He, of course, has answers that no one else
247. 15:57would even begin to have.
248. 16:01What if health care could be more than bills and bureaucracy?
249. 16:04What if it could reflect faith, foster community,
250. 16:08and offer spiritual support?
251. 16:10At Redeem Health Share Ministry,
252. 16:12the mission goes beyond medical bills.

270. 17:06Shining light into the darkness,
271. 17:08this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
272. 17:12Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner,
273. 17:14Abraham Hamilton the third here,
274. 17:15as I mentioned yesterday.
275. 17:17Next week, January 15th through the 17th,
276. 17:20we will join the Tabernacle Church in South Haven,
277. 17:23Mississippi for their Leadership Summit.
278. 17:26January 15th through the 17th, as I mentioned,
279. 17:28will be hosted at their church which is located at 7701 US 51 South Haven,
280. 17:34Mississippi 38671 is a zip code. Their website is TAB S-O-U-T-H-A-V-E-N.org.
281. 17:43That is tab Southhaven.org for more information. You have to go there to
282. 17:51register for the summit and then in February,
283. 17:55I'm telling you, 2026 is we're already out of the shoot.
284. 18:00February 20th through the 22nd,
285. 18:02First Baptist Church in Simsboro,
286. 18:04Louisiana is having their family focus weekend,
287. 18:08where I will be ministering as well as my wife.
288. 18:11My wife will do a session for the women
289. 18:14at the church concerning the Ministry of Mayors.
290. 18:17The wife's role in the Ministry of Mayors
291. 18:19is gonna be amazing.
292. 18:20The event, there is no charge for the family focus weekend.
293. 18:24However, the wonderful brethren at Simsborough,
294. 18:28First Baptist Church have asked
295. 18:30that you register for the event
296. 18:31because they're gonna be providing food for attendees.
297. 18:34So to do so, you will need to go to
298. 18:36fbcsimsborough.org, that is FBC, S-I-M-S-B-O-R-O-R-G.
299. 18:45Click on the events tab.
300. 18:46I don't think I said that yesterday.
301. 18:47When you get to their website,
302. 18:48look to the upper right-hand side of the site,
303. 18:50click on their events tab.
304. 18:52And when you do, you will see the family focus weekend page there where you'll need
305. 18:56to register just so they can have an accurate count of how many people to anticipate.
306. 19:03We've been preparing and praying for these events in particular for quite some time.
307. 19:08If you're in the area, either one of those areas, South Avon, Mississippi or in North
308. 19:12Louisiana, Simsboro, Louisiana, you are welcome to attend these events or if you will
309. 19:17to travel to do so. You are welcome to do that of January 15th through the 17th and February
310. 19:2420th through the 22nd respectively are those dates. All right. Having said that, I know we've
311. 19:33been talking quite a bit about Venezuela this week, but I have not spent any time frankly
312. 19:39talking about Iran, at least not a lot of time. I might have mentioned it in passing because
313. 19:44it is it should be noted that the things that transpired in Venezuela and are unfolding in Venezuela
314. 19:51are happening at the exact same time that there is uh that that Iran is in a bit of flux if not
315. 20:00chaos at the moment. So all the way since December 28th, there have been protests and demonstrations
316. 20:08because frankly the economy in Iran has basically the bottom has fallen out. The bottom has fallen
317. 20:15out. And as I mentioned to you, I did I did mention I ran in this regard. I mentioned I
318. 20:19ran in passing, but I did mention I ran in this regard that Iran became the Islamic Republic
319. 20:24of Iran following the Vietnam following the American engagement in Vietnam. And now as the
320. 20:32U.S. began to be viewed on the world stage as a bit of a paper tiger, more so, then all
321. 20:39of these other rogue regimes kind of start trying to flex Russia invading Afghanistan.
322. 20:48You had this atomic revolution in Iran and just to name a few of those things.
323. 20:52And so there are lots of the citizenry in Iran that they're not feeling the Ayatollahs,
324. 20:59but the Ayatollahs have had, you know, a tyrannical grip on the nation.
325. 21:04And so we know that there was a green revolution in Iran under during Obama's time in office
326. 21:11here in America.
327. 21:13But right now you have Iran in a state of flux.
328. 21:16And so I mentioned to you concerning Venezuela, you know that they have the largest verifiable
329. 21:20oil deposits in the world in terms of an individual nation, 17 plus trillion dollars worth.
330. 21:25Well the largest recipient of Iranian ex, I'm sorry, of Venezuelan exported oil has been
331. 21:32China.
332. 21:34Well, guess who else is a major exporter of oil to China?
333. 21:40Iran.
334. 21:41So, you have the U.S. making its way to dictate terms for Venezuelan oil.
335. 21:53If Venezuela has occurred at this as it has, at the exact time, that same time, that Iran
336. 22:05crumbles.
337. 22:07You have just applied a vice-script on China.
338. 22:12And so what people need to realize is that Venezuela is important in and of itself, but
339. 22:17it's not exclusively important.
340. 22:19It's a part of a broader effort.
341. 22:22And I believe that the Trump administration's focus and their truly strategic objective kind
342. 22:28of bolstering the Monroe Doctrine is really a global rebalancing to where it's using the
343. 22:37I'm on road doctrine as a backdrop, you know, in our hemisphere, we the big dog, you know,
344. 22:43don't try for the in our hemisphere, but also to send a shot across the bow saying, and
345. 22:48we see you, we know what you're trying to do.
346. 22:52And frankly, that's prudent.
347. 22:53It's what people say.
348. 22:54We don't know what Xi Jinping is trying to do.
349. 22:55Well, yeah, yeah, we do because he said it.
350. 22:57He said his goal is to supplant the United States as the preeminent global superpower.
351. 23:08All right.
352. 23:10So when I mentioned to you that Venezuela had became the Western hemisphere fulcrum for
353. 23:17all bad actors around the world to have their way to apply their trade, to have their access.
354. 23:24I mentioned to you that at the very moment that the U.S. was escorting Maduro, you know,
355. 23:31I said, Bob, I say he was escorting, you see, escorting Maduro for a trip, you know, to
356. 23:40who lost United. You had the Chinese delegation in Venezuela at the time. I mentioned the Cubans
357. 23:54made up a significant component of Maduro's personal guard, Cubans who are directly linked
358. 24:00to the Russians. And so you have all of these things transpiring at the exact same time and
359. 24:07remains to be seen. What will happen with Iran. But just looking at this from a broader
360. 24:15perspective, you can see what the strategic objective is. And even when you have conversations
361. 24:21about, you know, Greenland, and I mentioned Greenland before when they were talking about
362. 24:26this when you, if you recall, Charlie Kirk and Don Jr. in JD Vance, if you remember, they
363. 24:36all flew on President Trump's plane to Greenland. Do you guys remember this? This is not a new
364. 24:40thing. This is guys, this is one of them. Look, I can't stand the lying media. You know, they,
365. 24:48they, they're acting as if, oh, and Greenland, like President Trump has been talking about
366. 24:54the Greenland for a long time. But the whole purpose of the conversation is a strategic one.
367. 25:00You know, you have, yes, you have resources, things in Greenland, but you know, one of
368. 25:04the main benefits, if Russia is going to do anything concerning the lower 48 of the United
369. 25:10States of America. Guess what they got to fly by. Don't you think it would be
370. 25:14prudent for the United States of America to have the opportunity to shoot a
371. 25:18missile down before it can reach the lower 48 in terms of defense defense
372. 25:22of strategic strategic. And then another thing is and again this is why you cannot
373. 25:27trust these people. You want to know what we already have military bases? Anybody
374. 25:32want to guess? We already have military bases in Greenland. So why do you
375. 25:37people trying to add brand new as if we are completely ignorant.
376. 25:41Oh my God. Can you believe that?
377. 25:44The Trump is talking about green.
378. 25:45Why do you think the US already has military bases in Greenland?
379. 25:49Huh? What do you think?
380. 25:50Yeah, you think we just got the bases there for fun?
381. 25:52We want to go out and play a little bit of ice hockey,
382. 25:55shuffleboard in the snow?
383. 25:59Yes. You want to you want to you want to you want to have a hot
384. 26:02tub on the snow and kind of that the cold hot cold combo?
385. 26:06Cause it's insane.
386. 26:09It's insane.
387. 26:10The deception is what I'm saying is insane.
388. 26:13The deception is insane.
389. 26:16The US already has military bases in Greenland having the capacity to deter.
390. 26:27Remember we had the conversation earlier this week about peace through strength?
391. 26:32Peace through strength?
392. 26:35If anybody's paying any attention, it's clear that President Trump is not a fan of war.
393. 26:40Does anybody have any, any, any disagreement with that notion?
394. 26:44No, if you're paying attention and being objective, there are things that I will object
395. 26:50to why I want today, right after Escorta Maduro, President Trump had a meeting with the GOP
396. 26:56at their annual retreat, where they discussed the prospect of the political agenda for the
397. 27:00next year.
398. 27:01And he said something that was like, no, that's a bad idea.
399. 27:06I told you that I personally have a bit of tension.
400. 27:09I understand the policy prerogatives and the benefits of operation absolute resolve for
401. 27:18the Venezuelan people, but frankly, for the United States of America.
402. 27:23I understand the benefits of establishing clarity pursuant to the Monroe Doctrine to say,
403. 27:30hey, y'all can play all you want, but an incursion in the Western Hemisphere is an incursion
404. 27:35against America's interests.
405. 27:37interests. I can understand that. But at the same time, we have a law. We have laws.
406. 27:46And in order to assess the legalities of what is transpired, we have to also take into consideration
407. 27:52the reality of the corruption in our own Congress. You know, it is it is galling to me to have so
408. 28:00many elected officials that happen to be Democrats that run, you know, with with Carl Lewis, Fervor,
409. 28:06and zeal and rapidity to defend a dictator.
410. 28:12Like, like, what?
411. 28:15It's insane.
412. 28:18So anyway, and that's exactly right.
413. 28:22Recognizing what's happening in Venezuela
414. 28:24in light of what's transpiring in Iran,
415. 28:29you can see that these are chess moves.
416. 28:31This ain't Chuck or his chief.
417. 28:32This is, these are chess moves.
418. 28:36And there is a strategic benefit
419. 28:39to the United States of America
420. 28:41having a robust presence in Greenland.
421. 28:45Which, by the way, many of its citizens are not too fond of their relationship with Denmark
422. 28:53at the moment.
423. 28:54So that's just something to consider.
424. 28:56But the main thing I wanted to mention is that we should keep our eyes on our end and recognize
425. 29:03what's happening there.
426. 29:04today news broke about the US dispatching elite level aircraft.
427. 29:15These are not escorts.
428. 29:16These are elite level aircraft because you have basically Iranian oil tankers that are
429. 29:23trying to avoid sanctions flying under a Russian flag.
430. 29:28You have the implication of some of the oil that sanctioned the oil out of Venezuela that's
431. 29:35implicated in this. Just today, news broke concern in that. So these are things that are
432. 29:41happening at a broad level, which just I mean, obviously I haven't talked to anybody in the
433. 29:47Trump administration, but I can see what's being employed here, that this is an effort
434. 29:53to really bring a sledgehammer to the globalist world economic forum panacea to where, you
435. 30:03you know, there's an effort to rebalance things globally.
436. 30:06We'll see how it works, but that is what it seems like it is happening now.
437. 30:11All right.
438. 30:13Having said that, many of you have heard me say numerous times that we have enjoyed the
439. 30:17benefit of, I would say, God's inspiration to our founders to separate power in our governmental
440. 30:26apparatus, separating it both vertically and horizontally to where you have a separation
441. 30:31of power at the executive level which consists of not co-equal branches of government but a
442. 30:37system of checks and balances combined with accountability within the verticality of the
443. 30:44structure.
444. 30:45You know the 10th Amendment literally says whatever rights have not been exclusively delegated
445. 30:51to the federal government in this Constitution are expressly reserved to the states and the
446. 31:01people. That is profound to have that. Well, in order for the system of checks and balances,
447. 31:11the constitution of checks and balances that we have, it has to be a willing to check and
448. 31:15balance. And the Constitution gives the authority within the federal governmental apparatus of
449. 31:23checking and balancing the Article III judiciary that authority is given to the House of Representatives.
450. 31:29And I have said much of the chicanery that has unfolded domestically has occurred as
451. 31:36a result of the judiciary asserting more and more and more federal authority, while at
452. 31:44the exact same time the people's Congress has contracted.
453. 31:49And what needs to occur is that the Congress needs to reassert its role in holding the judiciary
454. 31:57accountable.
455. 31:58Article three judges in particular, when they rule in such a fashion that violates the Constitution,
456. 32:08that all it would take is for Congress to say, you know what?
457. 32:11We're not playing these games anymore.
458. 32:13We will impeach you.
459. 32:14And no, this is not about a partisan interpretation of a judicial opinion.
460. 32:19I've said to you guys before that the assessment of constitutionality was never meant to be
461. 32:25the exclusive province of the judiciary.
462. 32:28The executive branch needs to know what it means to function constitutionally.
463. 32:31The Congress has to understand what it means to function constitutionally and to function
464. 32:35constitutionally.
465. 32:36Well, to that end is today January 7th.
466. 32:40That's today I believe.
467. 32:43To that end, today.
468. 32:44If you would, Mr. J. Mack, I don't want to have a minute or so in this segment.
469. 32:48I'm going to carry it over to the next segment.
470. 32:50Put the letter up on the screen for the people.
471. 32:53Today, Senator Ted Cruz serving in his capacity as, and I'll explain, say it the way he said
472. 32:59the chairman of the subcommittee on federal courts,
473. 33:04sent a letter to speaker Mike Johnson,
474. 33:08urging the House of Representatives
475. 33:11to take up two impeachment matters.
476. 33:16One, Chief Judge James Boweberg,
477. 33:19Boweberg from the United States District Court for DC,
478. 33:25and Judge Deborah Boardman,
479. 33:28U.S. District Court Judge for the District of Maryland.
480. 33:31Some of you may recall Judge Boseburg is the one who said,
481. 33:35Hey, Mr. Trump, you can't deport those illegal aliens.
482. 33:37Turn that plane around.
483. 33:40The nerve.
484. 33:41And he also is a judge that presided over the authorized ceiling
485. 33:47of subpoenas and non-disclosure art orders targeting sitting US senators.
486. 33:53Judge Boseburg, you've been notified.
487. 34:00America is about to celebrate her 250th birthday.
488. 34:04In the beginning of our country, almost all American children were raised with a Christian worldview.
489. 34:09That has drastically changed over the last 250 years.
490. 34:13What's your opinion on what we can do to restore it?
491. 34:16Your thoughts and your support will help us fight for our kids
492. 34:19and will give you the DVD, Educated for Liberty with Stephen McDowell as our thanks.

496. 34:36Here's Nancy Demos-Wolgamuth.
497. 34:38If our way is perverse before God, what a mercy it is when God sets out to oppose us in that
498. 34:47way.
499. 34:48God's way of getting your attention.
500. 34:50On the next, we have our hearts with Nancy Demos-Wolgamuth.
501. 35:04The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Common Terrets are available at efr.net.
502. 35:10back to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
503. 35:15Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton III.
504. 35:17Before we went to the break, I was describing the letter,
505. 35:21or mentioning the letter that Senator Cruz sent today
506. 35:24to speaker Mike Johnson concerning the impeachment
507. 35:32that has been filed by Representative Brandon Gill.
508. 35:36He's filed articles of impeachment against Chief Judge
509. 35:39James Boseberg.
510. 35:40And this is one of the moments guys where you could feel like you're just speaking into
511. 35:46the air and nobody's listening.
512. 35:48But I'm telling you, this is evidence that people are listening.
513. 35:51People are listening.
514. 35:52There have been lots of other things that have been happening.
515. 35:55So the news concerning this hasn't been focusing attention here, but that's why I'm highlighting
516. 36:01it.
517. 36:02This is highlighting the fact that Representative Brandon Gill has introduced articles of impeachment
518. 36:07in the House of Representatives concerning Judge James Boseburg.
519. 36:12And he specifically cites the Judge Boseburg authorizing sealed subpoenas in non-disclosure
520. 36:22articles, sorry, non-disclosure orders targeting sitting United States senators, including
521. 36:30Senator Cruz.
522. 36:31You know now I would have preferred that it would have taken
523. 36:35for Senator Cruz to
524. 36:37personally
525. 36:38bear the brunt of uncut constitutional actions taken by a sitting district court judge
526. 36:44But my high school basketball coach told me a long time ago. Sometimes it takes pain to stimulate the brain
527. 36:51So when he sees that these things have been turned upon him
528. 36:55Senator Cruz I'm talking about and now he's a US senator
529. 36:57So he doesn't have the unilateral authority to file articles of impeachment
530. 37:01But I'm pretty sure him personally realizing that, hey, Judge Boseburg authorized the Biden
531. 37:08administration to spy on you, chief, that he goes, you know what?
532. 37:14Perhaps it's time to rein in these article three judges, isn't it?
533. 37:18And then you have Maryland Federal District Court Judge Deborah Boardman.
534. 37:24And if you're wondering who Deborah Boardman is, Deborah Boardman is the judge who presided
535. 37:28over a case styled United States versus Nicholas Ross, R-O-S-K-E, who was Nicholas Ross.
536. 37:35Nicholas Ross is the young man, the man, the man who was convicted, you know, not for anything,
537. 37:42much, just the attempted assassination of a sitting US Supreme Court justice, you know,
538. 37:47a little lightweight matter.
539. 37:50Remember old boy showed up with zip ties?
540. 37:52Gee, I wonder what he planned to do with those zip ties and other things.
541. 37:56Well, he was convicted facing incarceration up to 30 years in prison.
542. 38:07Judge Boardman, unilaterally reduced that sentence to eight years, citing as a mitigating circumstance.
543. 38:18Y'all ready for the, many of you all remember this, citing as a mitigating, excuse me, citing
544. 38:24as a mitigating circumstance, Nicholas Roskis, Nicholas Rosk's self-declared status as a
545. 38:31quote transgender woman," unquote. And Judge Boorbmann expressed concern that, quote,
546. 38:38she would be housed in a male facility. So Senator Cruz highlights in his letter,
547. 38:45Judge Boorbmann's partisan predilections have overridden her oath to uphold the constitution
548. 38:50and support and defend its government. So Senator Cruz is asserting and urging the House
549. 38:58representatives to take up these articles of impeachment and send them to the Senate for trial.
550. 39:04I have long said that if we're going to rain in a runaway judiciary, this has to happen.
551. 39:13This has to happen.
552. 39:17The very first US federal judge who was impeached was impeached because he made an unconstitutional
553. 39:23ruling.
554. 39:28This has to happen.
555. 39:29And really, this is connected to a broader point that I want to make.
556. 39:34And I've been saying it and some people have asked me, why haven't you talked more about
557. 39:38the evidence of corruption and how Obama literally was responsible for launching basically a
558. 39:45cool effort to undermine President Trump coming into office with things of that nature.
559. 39:48And we've talked about it quite a bit, but I've consistently said somebody called me when
560. 39:53criminal charges have been filed.
561. 39:55I'm going to offer a warning here, guys, if with all of the information the evidence is
562. 39:59around and it is only useful political purposes and nobody's held accountable.
563. 40:08I hate to tell you this, but I am gravely concerned that the backlash will be fierce
564. 40:14from society.
565. 40:16In the backlash, I'm not talking about in terms of an affirmative act taking place of
566. 40:20rioting and things of that nature.
567. 40:21I'm talking about people becoming significantly disenchanted because you've got all this evidence.
568. 40:33You literally have documented evidence of Barack Obama asking for asking our intelligence apparatus
569. 40:43whether or not the Russians influenced the 2016 presidential election.
570. 40:47They came back and told him, now the Russians ain't do it.
571. 40:49No, they have the capacity to do so.
572. 40:51And he responds, no, you go back and give me a new directive and explain to me how
573. 40:55they did it. You have evidence of that.
574. 40:57And then we all going to just, yo, yo, and tell them about the college football
575. 41:03playoff, man.
576. 41:04Whoo. You know what I mean?
577. 41:06In the end of number one, that's what's going to happen.
578. 41:10Guys, I'm just selling you, you, you, you got,
579. 41:16The big guy, you have them literally attempt to put President Trump in jail for the rest
580. 41:25of his natural life for saying that they cheated in 2020.
581. 41:29And then you come to find out Georgia comes out and says, hey, by the way, we counted 300
582. 41:33plus thousand votes illegally.
583. 41:35That shouldn't have been counted.
584. 41:36We counted them.
585. 41:39And we just yawn and move on.
586. 41:40And then you have this story.
587. 41:42I ain't this rich.
588. 41:43You know, no malarkey Joe Biden, Mr.
589. 41:46the ice cream. His his pension, his retirement
590. 41:55pitching is gonna be higher than his salary as president. Did y'all see this? Did you see this?
591. 42:02That that the the the man who in guys I hate having to say this but you will remember
592. 42:11immediately followed the 2020 election. I came on this these airways and told you guys
593. 42:17as Joe Biden ain't going to be the Democrat nominee for the president in 2024.
594. 42:21I told you that.
595. 42:22I said because they are simply using him as a wedge to get Trump out.
596. 42:31That's what they're trying to do.
597. 42:33In law and behold, yes, his pension is going to be more than his salary as president.
598. 42:40Now the pension is going to be a combination of his retirement from being a U.S. Senator
599. 42:47and vice president and president combined.
600. 42:52But you mean to tell me,
601. 42:54auto pin Biden, auto pin,
602. 42:59is gonna get more taxpayer dollars in retirement than he did in the White House?
603. 43:06Yeah, Hunter Biden has zero experience in oil and gas,
604. 43:09but he's just so happy to have a six-figure monthly salary
605. 43:12for being on a board for an oil and gas company because of his expertise.
606. 43:19The expertise he offers in between bumps of cocaine.
607. 43:23Man, come on, man.
608. 43:26Guys, I'm just...
609. 43:35This is... these are the things, guys.
610. 43:37If... what's the point?
611. 43:40If all of this evidence can be made public,
612. 43:42we learn all this information and nobody is held accountable.
613. 43:45Nobody.
614. 43:47Scar-flated Deborah Burke's wrote in her book.
615. 43:52Oh, yeah, we knew it. I was nothing to, you know.
616. 43:54Yeah, what was it?
617. 43:5515 days of flattening the curve.
618. 43:56We knew it, we knew it, and that's just six, six,
619. 43:58we just had to start somewhere that we knew Trump would go for.
620. 44:01What?
621. 44:04And then once we started, then we kept,
622. 44:06and nobody saw the column.
623. 44:0910 feet and six feet were made up too.
624. 44:11Yeah, six feet made up, 10 feet made up, all of it was made up.
625. 44:16Then you have this at the GOP retreat at the newly named
626. 44:20Trump Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
627. 44:24I think he likes his name.
628. 44:27the house, I'm sorry, not the house, but the congressional GOP had their retreat.
629. 44:31But in the midst of the conversations, President Trump offered bad advice in my view in which
630. 44:39he said the Republicans may need to soften their objections to demanding the hide amendment
631. 44:46and get this.
632. 44:47What are they talking about?
633. 44:49They're talking about the potential of making permanent Obamacare subsidies.
634. 44:56Didn't the GOP just win that fight?
635. 45:00So why are they considering that?
636. 45:02Your guess is as good as mine.
637. 45:04Listen to and watch clip number one, clip one, go.
638. 45:07Let the money go in the healthcare account or however you do it.
639. 45:13Let the money go directly to the people.
640. 45:16Now you have to be a little flexible on hide.
641. 45:19You know that.
642. 45:20You got to be a little flexible.
643. 45:22You got to work something.
644. 45:24You got to use ingenuity.
645. 45:26You got to work.
646. 45:28We're all big fans of everything, but you got to be flexing.
647. 45:31You have to have flexibility.
648. 45:35Now many people know it's no secret not supported President Trump, voted for him twice.
649. 45:43No three times actually, you know, three times.
650. 45:48But respectfully, sir, you're wrong on this.
651. 45:50So what is he talking about?
652. 45:51We flexible on the hide.
653. 45:52He's talking about the hide amendment.
654. 45:53The hide amendment is the standard that has been employed for quite some time that expressly
655. 46:01states that federal tax dollars cannot be used for murdering unborn babies. When Democrats
656. 46:09had power in the house, they removed the Hyde Amendment from legislation to allow taxpayer
657. 46:14dollars to go to kill unborn babies. And so here you have President Trump telling the Republican
658. 46:19call because that, hey, you guys need to be more flexible. You need to be a little flexible
659. 46:22on Hyde. Now, understand he's a deal maker. Understand all of that. Understand all of that.
660. 46:30But I'm going to tell you very plainly, President Trump, it is not a winning message to encourage
661. 46:34anyone, let alone elected officials, that they need to be flexible to allow taxpayer money
662. 46:39to go towards killing unborn children.
663. 46:42I'm just telling you.
664. 46:43So no, you don't have to be a little flexible on hide.
665. 46:46Now I understand the realities of what's happening in Congress.
666. 46:51Like, I mean, Speaker Johnson has done an amazing job because what a lot of people don't realize
667. 46:55is that the margin of the majority in the house is so narrow.
668. 46:59And then you have, unfortunately, the passing of California Republican Representative Doug
669. 47:05Lemaufa who just passed away.
670. 47:09Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned from Cara Gris, she wants to run for president.
671. 47:14Then you have Jim Baird of Indiana, he was just in the car accident, he was sidelined
672. 47:18for, he's been see sidelined because of the car accident.
673. 47:20So effectively you have about a 216 to 213 margin in the House of Representatives.
674. 47:27There are four open seats in the house right now.
675. 47:31Two of them are in red-leaning districts.
676. 47:33Two of them are in blue districts.
677. 47:35It's a very, very narrow majority.
678. 47:41But guys, simply put, there's some things you don't compromise on.
679. 47:45Using American taxpayer's money to kill unborn children is one of those things that cannot
680. 47:50be compromised on.
681. 47:52And the president needs to hear people, hear from people who will say that.
682. 47:55And I know he already has, since he said these comments, he said this yesterday.
683. 47:59He said this yesterday.
684. 48:01I know there have been people who said President Trump, listen, this is not a moment, this is
685. 48:05not an occasion, this is not an area where compromise is the opening salvo.
686. 48:11And one of the problems when you have these comments that are made that are made publicly
687. 48:15accessible, guess what happens?
688. 48:16The Democrats hear that and they say, oh, the President Trump is saying they may be willing
689. 48:20to compromise on the Hyde Amendment.
690. 48:21So guess what's going to happen when it comes to negotiating in the run up to the midterms,
691. 48:28which you all know the Democrats are trying to run their message about affordability.
692. 48:33They're going to run out their usual playbook concerning abortion and all these kind of
693. 48:36things.
694. 48:37They're going to use that.
695. 48:43And the midterms, which folks, we are here, will determine whether or not there is an absolute
696. 48:50halt applied to President Trump's domestic agenda at the federal level.
697. 49:00And if a hold is applied by there being a flipping of the majority in the House of Representatives,
698. 49:08then we're talking lame duck status on domestic issues.
699. 49:13So it's very important, very important that you don't go into the midterms with this kind
700. 49:19of position.
701. 49:22Certainly yes, on one point because of the political results, but also guys, this is the
702. 49:28very beginning.
703. 49:29is transcendent, objective, immutable, and enduring.
704. 49:36You don't compromise truth for political efficacy.
705. 49:39That's just the reality.
706. 49:40And I'm talking truth with a capital T.
707. 49:43You don't compromise truth for political efficacy.
708. 49:47Now Lord willing, I didn't get to it today.
709. 49:49Tomorrow I'll get to it.
710. 49:51I know the Democrats are talking about affordability,
711. 49:52but there's a way to counteract that very simple.
712. 49:55It's very simply.
713. 49:56In guess, the revelation has come to us
714. 49:59through tampon, Tim, with the outside corruption in Minnesota, but it's not just Minnesota.
715. 50:04It's New Yorkers corrupt, California is corrupt, but you have to connect the corruption to democratic
716. 50:12policy and communicate very plainly.
717. 50:14The reason why affordability is such a challenging phenomenon is because of the outside impact
718. 50:20of runaway, over-broad, bloated government.
719. 50:26So you can counteract that very well by explaining waste fraud and abuse, but that waste fraud
720. 50:31abuse is directly connected to these policy positions. We'll talk more about this Lord willing tomorrow.
