0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
0:07This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
0:11It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
0:15Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
0:18And the philosophies of this world.
0:20God has called you and me to be His ambassador.
0:24Even in this dark moment.
0:26Let's not miss our moment.
0:29and now the Hamilton Quarter.
0:31And this is not the man,
0:36but I'm honored to sit in for the inimitable
0:40Abraham Hamilton the third.
0:42This is Bishop E. W. Jackson.
0:43Great to be with you again tonight.
0:45And thank you all as always for all of your support
0:49for American Family Radio and the American Family Association
0:53network of organizations that are supported by us and helped
0:57by us and that we work together in order to try to work together with in order to try
1:03to help save this great country of ours.
1:06So thank you all because we couldn't do it without your prayers and without your support.
1:11Look folks, we've got some heavy topics to discuss tonight given some of the things that
1:16are happening in our country right now and frankly happening around the world right now.
1:21But I've got a little bit lighter topic to address here first and it is some great news.
1:27yours truly has just become a grandfather for the second time. My grandson, Jaylen Bruce Simmons, was born on January the 10th.
1:40And in fact, I am not in my home studio because I'm of course with my daughter and her husband, and we are waiting for the beautiful little bundle to be brought home.
1:53And now to add icing to the cake, get this.
1:57Tomorrow is my birthday.
1:59And tomorrow is the day he likely will be coming in.
2:02So what a birthday gift there won't be ever
2:06a better birthday I don't think than having my grandson
2:11arrive home on my birthday.
2:12So folks, listen, I am elated.
2:15I have to tell you all that in my younger days
2:20and my youth, I'd meet people and they would talk
2:22about their grandchildren and they were doing this
2:24with their grandchildren going.
2:26And you know, it never really hit me.
2:28I just figured, well, you know, it's just a part of life.
2:31And, but I had a friend, some of you may know Tim Throckmorton.
2:35Tim Throckmorton's former pastor and out at Ohio
2:39and is now working for the Family Research Council
2:45as a kind of director of their ministry outreach
2:50and working with pastors around the country
2:52and he's a dear friend of mine.
2:53And he used to tell me, he would say to me,
2:57say something about his grandchildren,
2:58and he would say, you have any, I said,
2:59no, I don't have any grandchildren.
3:01He would say, well, just get ready to lose your mind.
3:04I'm telling you, talk about it.
3:06You know, you're saying, you don't get it yet,
3:11but just get ready to lose your mind.
3:12I said, I would look at him and say, okay, 10, all right.
3:14Bye.
3:15But folks, I'll tell you, I want to say, Tim, you were absolutely right.
3:23I have pretty much lost my mind, metaphorically speaking.
3:27And it is one of the great joys of life, folks.
3:31And I have been enjoying it.
3:33I've got a granddaughter.
3:34She will turn four in a couple months.
3:37And as a matter of fact, because my studio is not far from where she plays.
3:44And from time to time, she will break away from supervision and just walk right into the
3:49studio.
3:50There she is.
3:55But, but look, so folks, I am, I am, as always, listen, the joy of the Lord is our strength
4:01and God is so very, very good to us.
4:05You know, look, it, it may not be all that we'd like it to be in life, but praise God
4:14for his goodness and kindness and mercy toward us.
4:20You know, David said,
4:21I don't know what I'd do if I weren't for the Lord on my side.
4:25You know, he is in fact,
4:27sweeter than the honey in the honeycomb.
4:30And so I am grateful, first and foremost,
4:33to the Lord God Almighty,
4:36for allowing me to live long enough
4:37to see at least two grandchildren born.
4:40And just grateful for his goodness all around.
4:45So now, so that's that's that's something uplifting and joyful and happy and the
4:51baby's fine. My daughter's fine. Everything is wonderful. I just talked to my son a lot,
4:57not too long ago. And he's back and forth to the hospital and making sure that, you
5:01know, everything that she needs and is set home and my wife and I are basically taking
5:07care of our granddaughter while they're off taking care of the new son. But you know, I am indeed a
5:16happy warrior. There's no question about that. I do not allow the things that are happening in this
5:22world to get me down and to make me feel despairing or just depressed or discouraged or for that
5:30matter even filled with bitterness and anger and frustration and hatred. I just I'll just never
5:38let that happen. I mean that's that's not God anyway and we know what the outcome is. I mean we can be
5:43joyful warriors because we know what the outcome of this is. But I will say this or having grandchildren
5:53will certainly put some starch in you because you know that you are fighting to try to make sure that
6:01that the country that they grow up in
6:04is one where they can experience freedom
6:06and opportunity in hope.
6:09And the ability to worship God as they see fit
6:12and to pursue their God-given gifts
6:14and talents and abilities as they see fit
6:16and not have someone denigrate them and say,
6:19well, you believe in that stupid faith in God stuff
6:22and you believe in the Bible
6:23and you believe in certain moral rules,
6:27you're so, you're antiquated,
6:29You're a dinosaur, you're prehistoric, that's stupid.
6:33And we don't want you working for our company
6:35if you think that way.
6:36Oh, you're pro-life, what kind of nut case are you?
6:40You believe that marriage is only a union
6:42between one man and one woman?
6:44We left that stupid thinking longer ago.
6:46We know better than that now.
6:47I mean, I don't want my grandchildren
6:50to live in a country like that.
6:53I want them to live in a country that is rooted
6:55and grounded in Judeo-Christian values and principles
6:58where family is a firm, where faith is a firm,
7:00where freedom is affirmed and where their Judeo-Christian
7:03morals and values are affirmed, and they're not persecuted,
7:07prosecuted, fired from their jobs,
7:11told that they can't do certain things or be certain things
7:14because, not because of the color of their skin,
7:16but because of the way they think.
7:21Because I've said many times, folks,
7:23with all the talk that the left does about racism,
7:27racism, racism, they suffer from ROS,
7:29racial obsession syndrome.
7:31it is a mental illness.
7:36I've declared it so.
7:37I may not be a psychiatrist, but I play one on the radio.
7:41And this is a mental illness that I can identify.
7:45I can point it out to you because it's so glaringly obvious.
7:49You don't need to have a PhD or a medical degree to see it.
7:54I don't want my grandchildren to have to grow up
7:56in a country that is dominated by that kind of thinking.
8:00Dominated by DEI, they grew up in the accomplished things
8:02and people wondered did they really accomplish anything
8:05or were the standards lowered for them
8:07because of the color of their skin?
8:09I don't want my grandchildren to go up in a country like that.
8:13And I'm gonna fight until I breathe my last breath
8:19to make sure that America is in fact,
8:23a meritocracy, a Judeo-Christian nation,
8:25a nation whose God is the Lord.
8:29And just like when we stand before God,
8:32We're not standing before God is a collective.
8:35We're standing before God is individuals.
8:37And we won't be able to say,
8:38now Lord, now, now wait a minute, wait a minute.
8:41Lord, give a brother a break.
8:44You don't know what I mean.
8:46After all, do you know all I had to put, no, no, no, no, no,
8:50that won't work.
8:54We stand before God, we're gonna stand before God
8:57as individuals and give an account
8:58for the deeds done in the body.
9:02And God's well done is not gonna be based
9:05up on the color of one skin or one's gender,
9:10God's well done is gonna be based
9:12on whether you were a good and faithful servant.
9:15That's the way America ought to operate.
9:18That's the way America ought to run.
9:20And nothing else.
9:23So that when you have a medical degree
9:25or as I do a law degree,
9:26as Abraham Hampshire III does a law degree,
9:29nobody has to wonder.
9:33You think he really had to study
9:34and you think he might've,
9:36yeah, I don't know.
9:37you know with all that, you know, that DEI stuff, affirmative action, who knows, you know, you just
9:42never know. Let's find somebody else because you just, you know, I mean, folks, that's one of the
9:48things I've always, even before they called it DEI, remember they called it affirmative action,
9:52I've always resented it, always hated it. And again, please forgive me for this moment of some seemingly
10:00self-aggrandizement because I don't mean it to be such, but I just want to give the, to expose the
10:07lie of the left because when I got ready to go to law school, you all have heard me tell this story.
10:11They told me my professors from whom I got A is told me well yeah I wouldn't go to Harvard Law School,
10:16I wouldn't try because you know black people don't do well in the LSATs because they're culturally
10:21biased toward white people. And I thought to myself I don't even understand that and that doesn't make
10:27sense to me and my ancestors go back 200 years. I think I understand the culture and that just made
10:35That made me bad because I just said, well, you know what, then thank you for the heads up.
10:40And I began to study the LSAT, how it works, how it's structured. I started taking practice LSAT exams
10:50and all of that. I knew I was capable of doing well, so on the LSAT, I was buying into this nonsense.
10:56I don't want my grandchildren to grow up in a world in which that's what they're told.
10:59Well, you know, you can't, you know, black people can't or grow up in a world for that
11:06matter in which you guys told, well, you know, you're a white, you know, white guys are privileged
11:13and, and you know, you need to diminish your whiteness.
11:16I mean, what?
11:20It just folks again.
11:22All right.
11:24Now I've got two grandchildren and I am loaded for.
11:30Now look, that brings me though to what's going on right now.
11:34And I want to say this to you folks in all sincerity.
11:39We are witnessing in our country right now an attempted revolution.
11:46They want to talk about January 6 and insurrection, give me a break.
11:50A few hundred people going into the Capitol, all of a sudden that's the insurrection and
11:55attempted to overthrow the government.
11:56I mean, that's crazy.
11:59What we are witnessing here, we are witnessing an attempted revolution in our country.
12:06That's what Frye, Epiminipolis, and that's what Waltz in Minnesota, and that's what all of these leftists, these Democrats,
12:14or as I affectionately refer to them, demon-crats.
12:18That's what they're up to.
12:20Because look, they keep throwing out this language. You hear it again and again.
12:24They're breaking the law, these ICE agents. They're breaking the law.
12:29What they're doing is unconstitutional.
12:32But you never hear specifics as to exactly what they're doing that is unconstitutional now folks. I've looked at it
12:44the
12:45federal government title eight of the United States Code sections 1227 1229 1231
12:52section 1325 and
12:55and others
12:57Don't simply allow for the deportation of people who are here
13:01illegally or as their statute refers to it without inspection for proper entry, it mandates
13:11that those people be deported.
13:13It requires that those people be deported.
13:17Now if you're going to say to me that ICE is behaving unlawfully and unconstitutionally
13:24by trying to arrest and deport those who are here unlawfully, then what you're really saying
13:33is you don't care what the law says, it's unlawful because you'd say it is.
13:39I mean, you never hear them quote a statute.
13:43You never hear them say, well, wait a minute, section eight requires this and ICE agents are
13:47doing that.
13:48Do you?
13:49You never hear them say the Constitution requires this and ICE agents are doing that.
13:54You don't hear that about the president.
13:56You don't hear that of a Christian home.
13:57You don't hear that about Pete had said, you don't hear that about any of them, but they
14:00And they throw these accusations out there being rambling
14:02unconstitutionally because they are trying to rewrite what the
14:06Constitution actually means.
14:12We are witnessing an attempted revolution in our country.
14:16I'm going to respond to that and how we deal with that and give
14:19you some more on it in a few minutes.
14:21This is Bishop E.W. Jackson.
14:23I'm in for Abraham Hamilton III here on the Hamilton Corner.
14:26Stand by, folks.
14:27There is much, much more to come.
15:09A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
15:13A big part of the Christian life is listening to God.
15:16We listen to God by reading and meditating on his word.
15:19We listen by his spirit because yes, God speaks
15:21to all of his children every day.
15:23Sometimes what you think is a passing thought to your mind,
15:26maybe the Holy Spirit speaking to you,
15:28giving you guidance inside a wisdom about a matter.
15:31Now, by no means am I saying that every passing thought
15:33in your mind is the Holy Spirit, not at all,
15:36but often what you might think is a passing thought
15:39is the Holy Spirit speaking to you.
15:41Write down thoughts, ideas, or insights that just come to your mind that you think.
15:46Maybe that's God speaking to you.
15:48The more you're looking for God to speak to you, the more he will speak to you.
15:54Being deliberate about listening for the voice of God is very important.
15:57And remember, you can always hear the voice of God through his word.
16:01Spend more time reading the word of God and the voice of the Holy Spirit in life will
16:05get louder and louder and louder.
16:14live into the darkness. This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
16:19Now, I've said, this is Bishop E.W. Jackson in for Abraham Hamilton. The third, I've said
16:27that if what they're saying is, in spite of what the law says, we say that an ice agent
16:36has no right to arrest, detain, and deport illegal aliens, then what they're really saying is,
16:44We are the law, right?
16:48There's no other way you can parse that.
16:51We are the law.
16:53And imagine this, I just said that Title VIII,
16:57and I cited you the sections that don't simply allow
17:01for deportation, they mandate,
17:05that means they require deportation of illegal aliens.
17:10But if you say that an ICE agent,
17:11then Immigration Customs Enforcement agent
17:14has no right to then apprehend, detain, and deport
17:18these illegal aliens.
17:20That's the equivalent of saying,
17:22it is against the seal to commit murder,
17:24it's against the law to commit murder,
17:26but it is against the law for police officers
17:29who got an arrest a person and detain them
17:34for purposes of trial and ultimately
17:38either a conviction or acquittal,
17:42which means the law is meaningless.
17:47without the enforcement element,
17:51having laws is a meaningless exercise.
17:57So at some point they ought to answer the question,
18:00okay, well, since we know what the law mandates,
18:03we know what the law requires of immigration
18:05customs enforcement, in what way are they breaking the law?
18:11They are arresting illegal aliens, they're saying,
18:13they're also arresting American citizens.
18:15Bring me one, bring me one.
18:21the arresting people who have a right to be here.
18:23Oh, you mean like the Maryland father,
18:27a brago Garcia, who is a gang member,
18:33a human trafficker and illegal alien like him?
18:39You know, in fact, folks, I said,
18:42when I read for president, I was the first one,
18:44although the press didn't give me any credit for it,
18:46of course, because they hated it anyway.
18:48But I said, Americans just need to brace ourselves
18:51because we're gonna have to engage in mass deportation
18:54in order to deal with the millions
18:56that the Biden administration has brought into our country.
19:00I said that before I ever heard President Trump say it.
19:03And I'm not saying he didn't have the same thought,
19:05you know, before I said it,
19:08but I was the first one to say it publicly
19:10and I pay attention what, you know,
19:11political figures are saying publicly.
19:13I was the first one to say it publicly and here we are.
19:16And we've got these people on the left
19:18who have decided that they're going to obstruct
19:20that process no matter what.
19:22Now, let me tell you in the sense
19:24in which this is a revolution.
19:25First of all, in an under-constitution republic,
19:28the Constitution law says what it says.
19:31You don't get to, in spite of what the Supreme Court has done,
19:36you don't get to impose your own meaning on it
19:39and deny the obvious words of a statute
19:44or words of a clause of the Constitution
19:46and just make up what you want.
19:50But see, that's what the aversion of a democracy is.
19:55their version of a democracy means.
19:59Whatever we say, whatever we agree, something means.
20:04Whatever we agree is the reality, that is what it is.
20:08And we will not only impose that upon the text
20:11of the Constitution, upon the text of any statutes or laws,
20:15we will impose that on the people as well.
20:20That's their version of a constitution.
20:23That's the aversion of a democracy, I should say.
20:28And folks, that's a revolution.
20:30It was John Adams who famously said,
20:32we are an empire of laws and not of men.
20:36And what he meant was the law is the law,
20:38and it is not subject to the whims of human beings.
20:42But the Democrats in the left are saying
20:43exactly the opposite.
20:44They're saying, no, what is actually the law
20:49is whatever whim we are operating under at that moment.
20:53That's what they're saying.
20:56And right now, the win we are operating under is we want all of these illegal aliens in because
21:04we see them as a pathway to ultimate final power.
21:09I mean, who rules Minneapolis?
21:10Who rules Minnesota?
21:12And how do they do it?
21:14Well, we know that they're doing it, I think primarily to two vessels.
21:18One is they're indoctrinating every child they can into a leftist, communist, socialist, Marxist
21:26worldview. And number two, they're bringing in every foreigner they can that they can buy
21:35into supporting their agenda for their community, their state, their country. I mean, those are the
21:42two things that they're doing. Inductrination and importation. You could summarize it just that
21:51way. Inductrination and importation. I think I've told you all about this book called Brown is the
21:59new white by a guy named Steven Phillips. Steven Phillips is
22:04apparently one of the heirs. I think he married into the
22:07Waukovia family. They're a billionaire family. He wrote this
22:12book. And in the book, he argued that the way to fundamentally
22:16transform America is to bring enough people in, first of all,
22:20to mobilize the non European ancestral people, they want to
22:25make it ethnic and racial, mobilize those people because they are more
22:31susceptible to the leftist worldview because they can buy them into it. Folks,
22:42let me just, I say we are witnessing a revolution. It is a revolution by the
22:52party of slavery because what you have in Minneapolis and what you have in
22:57cities all across this country, I'm going to say it because it needs to be seen and it needs to be
23:02understood. What you have is a new slave system. The slave system is not about physical incarceration
23:12or physical control. It is about psychological control. But it is based upon the same thing.
23:19You buy people to control them and to use them for your own purposes. So it's packaged differently
23:30and it has different patina, but folks, it is exactly the same thing substantively. That's why they,
23:37that's why in Minneapolis they don't care how much money those Somalis were stealing,
23:44because they know that's part of the bargain. You're our slaves, you keep us in power,
23:52and we allow you to benefit from the the plantation we put you on. The political plantation we
24:02allow you to live on and you can have as much as you want. You can steal money, you can become,
24:09you know, you can buy porsches, you can buy mansions, you can send money to
24:16Islamic terrorists back in Somalia. You can do all of that as long as you behave as a good slave.
24:24We don't care what else you do. And being a good slave means you keep us in power. Now folks,
24:36that is the same thing as anti-bellum slavery
24:43in a different package and the Democrat party
24:45is still doing it.
24:47That's how they've got these inner cities locked down.
24:50They're buying people with welfare payments,
24:53with food stamps and that we're finding out
24:55with a whole bunch of fraud that allows people
24:57to stick their hands in the cookie jar
25:00and grab as much as they can get their hands on
25:03and we'll look the other way.
25:06Because that's part of our demonic bargain
25:10to keep our slaves happy.
25:14And then when election time comes,
25:17you load all the slaves into buses
25:21and you get all the slaves to the polls
25:24and you tell them who to vote for and how to vote.
25:29And you got a captive audience
25:31and they vote unlike almost any other demographic group
25:34overwhelmingly one way, because you bought them all.
25:39and the few who haven't been bought don't do it and won't do it.
25:44But you try to marginalize them and call them,
25:46they're the sellouts, they're the real sellouts,
25:49they're the people who have betrayed their race
25:52and all this nonsense or betrayed their gender
25:57if it's a woman who votes conservative,
26:00votes her own mind.
26:03I know it's folks, it paints an awfully ugly picture,
26:07but it's a real one and it's evil.
26:14And we're not gonna let this revolution succeed.
26:18And look at the other analogy.
26:19By the way, I'm gonna start taking calls
26:21in the next segment, the numbers,
26:22888-589-8840, that's 888-589-8840.
26:28I wanna get your thoughts on what you think
26:30is going on in this country,
26:31because I think it really is just that deep.
26:34I really think it's just that deep.
26:37When you start telling federal agents
26:39who are citizens of the United States,
26:41they cannot be in your city,
26:44but you start telling illegal aliens
26:46from all over the world,
26:47You want them in your city.
26:49Well, now what kind of sense does that make?
26:53Other than you've got something in mind
26:57far beyond so-called compassion for people.
27:03It's really about power for one's tribe.
27:08And in this case, the tribe is not racial.
27:12The tribe ultimately is ideological.
27:16It's Marxist.
27:18That's the tribe.
27:21And they'll take all comers
27:23and they're looking for people who they think are more likely,
27:26more easily that is to be bought.
27:33Now, you know, this shooting that took place
27:38in which this woman lost her life, folks,
27:44I have not seen this kind of outrage
27:48on the part of these politicians over the death
27:51of any child killed by illegal alien,
27:54any woman raped and murdered by an illegal alien.
27:58any family killed in an automobile accident
28:01because an illegal alien was driving drunk
28:04or driving a vehicle,
28:09a tractor trailer that he was not qualified to drive
28:12because he couldn't speak English.
28:13I have not heard any consternation, any outrage,
28:16any sadness, any sorrow expressed at any American
28:21whose life has been senselessly taken by someone
28:24who shouldn't be here in the first place
28:26and was here taking advantage of everything this nation had to offer
28:30and exploiting us, using us as American citizens.
28:35No sorrow, sadness, remorse for the American citizens
28:41who've lost their lives in those situations.
28:43But here's a woman who's obstructing ICE carrying out their lawful duty,
28:47tries to run over an ICE agent with her SUV.
28:52And because his life was in danger, that is my opinion about this.
28:56Of course, we'll wait for the trial to happen if there is one.
29:02I believe that that was a lawful shoot.
29:05But now, you know, it's like this is the end of the world.
29:08This is almost hard.
29:09I mean, it's just like, it's just like,
29:12all the police officers who lose their lives,
29:14all the police officers who are injured for life,
29:16they have no sympathy for them.
29:18One police officer gets into a configuration
29:20and one neared do well ends up getting killed
29:24and it's the end of the world.
29:25So my goodness, you know, the police are all racist.
29:27And it's the same deal.
29:29These people don't care about people.
29:32This group doesn't care about people.
29:33They care about power.
29:35And the only thing they make a big deal of is something
29:39that they think is going to make them more powerful
29:42when the dust settles.
29:43That's all.
29:46And in American citizens and the suffering of the American
29:49people at the hands of Trende Aragua and MS-13
29:54And these other gangs that have come into this country illegally
29:59with the door thrown wide open by Joe Biden,
30:01the things that they do to Americans
30:03and the suffering of Americans at their hands
30:05that means absolutely nothing to them.
30:12But you know, man,
30:14two illegal aliens shot in Portland
30:17and they were up in arms.
30:18Oh, this is horrible.
30:20Members of Trende Awagwa had found, we find out,
30:25trying to attack ICE agents.
30:26But oh, well, this is the end of the world.
30:29The world is falling in, ice agents are, I mean, folks,
30:34yeah, it's about much, much more than that.
30:37This, they see this as their strategy toward revolution.
30:45I mean, to say to ice agents,
30:46get the blank out of Minneapolis,
30:48I mean, who do you think you are?
30:51And doesn't that sound a lot like the segregation
30:54of the past saying to the National Guard, you're not, this school is not going to be open to these
31:01people, except in this case, you're saying to an actual lawfully installed, constitutionally qualified
31:13federal officer to get out of your city. I mean, what is this? The Wild Wild West?
31:20Be out of town by sundown. I mean, what, what, but you know, they're drawing a very clear line.
31:26It's saying those of us who are trying to uphold the Constitution, those of us who are
31:31trying to uphold the law, those of us who are trying to protect American sovereignty, those
31:36of us who are defending our brave law enforcement officers, our military, those of us who are
31:41doing this, we are the bad people who must be stopped.
31:49So if it takes an assassination of a Charlie Kirk, if it takes an attempted assassination
31:54of a Donald Trump, and again, notice you didn't hear any remorse about that.
31:59I mean, some people are forced to say,
32:00well, this is not a good thing.
32:01We don't want to, you know, it,
32:03but there was very little of that.
32:06And you heard a lot of, well, Charlie Kirk brought it on himself
32:10and initially even it was a conservative,
32:16they blaming the right.
32:20Yeah, folks, we are in, I said this many times before,
32:25the election of Donald Trump has not ended the danger
32:30for our country's future.
32:32We'll be back in a moment, but in the meantime,
32:36888-589-8840 is a number.
32:38The lines are open.
32:40I want to take your calls.
33:30Hey, even today, weekday mornings at 430 Central on American Family Radio.
33:36Listen online at AFR.net.
33:39America is about to celebrate her 250th birthday.
33:43In the beginning of our country, almost all American children were raised with a Christian
33:47worldview.
33:48That has drastically changed over the last 250 years.
33:52What's your opinion on what we can do to restore it?
33:55Your thoughts and your support will help us fight for our kids and will give you the
33:59with Stephen McDowell as our thanks.

34:08Leftism and Islamism.
34:11This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian World View.
34:14Minnesota, again, became a national flashpoint
34:17after it was exposed that Somali-Muslim immigrants
34:20have defrauded taxpayers of an estimated $9 billion
34:23through fake businesses.
34:26businesses. This was enabled by leftist politicians in the city and state who
34:31may be benefiting from the theft. The lesson here is that leftists and
34:35Islamists partner to undermine our nation financially and spiritually.
34:40Christian should oppose this assault following the biblical command to be on
34:45the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong let all that you do
34:50be done in love. Here are most recent programs on this topic at The Christian
34:55www.howilview.org and then tune in this weekend as we discuss whether hell is temporal or eternal.
35:02Listen to the Christian worldview with David Wheaton, Saturday mornings at 8 Central on American
35:07Family Radio. The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One Minute Commentaries are available at
35:17aFR.net back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio. You've heard me say and you've heard
35:27others on this network say this many, many times, we are really
35:30ultimately not in a political battle. We are in a spiritual
35:33battle. Because you see, if this were simply a political battle
35:38over facts and truth, when you bring the facts to bear, you
35:42bring the truth to bear, you use logic, people would just change
35:46their minds, they'd say, Oh, oh, I didn't know that I didn't see
35:48that. Okay, all right, I got you. All right, then we you then,
35:51you're right, I agree with you, because I have to tell you
35:53folks, I've had opinions about things or thought I
35:57I understood something and somebody comes along and says,
35:59well, were you aware of this?
36:01And if I was, I'll say, oh, no, I wasn't.
36:03And that's true.
36:04Then I said, ah, okay, well, yeah, that does.
36:06That does change the way I see this because that's a factor
36:10or a fact, if you will, that I didn't know about.
36:13But these folks are not subject to being moved by facts
36:17or truth because they are in great spiritual delusion.
36:25You cannot reason with them.
36:28The only thing that you can do with these folks is you have to pray that God would change
36:36their hearts because when the heart gets it, the head will get it.
36:41But when the heart is hard, the head is impenetrable.
36:47888-589-8840 is the number.
36:51What do you all think about the stuff that is going on right now?
36:55And particularly, you know, you would think in the era of Trump, things would have settled
36:58down, but in fact, they seem really to be heating up.
37:02And I have to tell you folks, we need
37:04to be praying hard about the upcoming general election,
37:07upcoming congressional elections, I should say,
37:10because the media is going to go hard and heavy with propaganda
37:16to try to paint for the country a picture of Trump
37:21as some kind of tyrant.
37:22The rest of us is his sick offense
37:24and his, you know, we're called like followers and the country's in danger of being lost.
37:31Our democracy is in danger. And you know, a lot of people aren't paying attention,
37:38could really kind of be drawn into the delusion themselves. We got to pray that that does not
37:45happen, that people will see clearly. That's why again, certainly we got to be politically active,
37:49We've got to be involved in the culture of life of our country, but we've got to be on our knees before God as well.
37:56And standing on God's word and believing for God's supernatural intervention in these situations.
38:02Because the devil is certainly busy in these people.
38:08Again, 888-588-58840, we've got some open laws, but let's come right to it.
38:13Let's go to John in Indiana.
38:17John, welcome.
38:18Good evening, Bishop.
38:21Thank you for your service to the artillery and for you and Abraham being willing to go
38:25through law school and all that learning about what lawfare is directed against us now at
38:31the Overton window and all that stuff.
38:33But I thank you for taking my call.
38:35I'm concerned that Elon Omar was blaming the ICE agent for moving into the path of a moving
38:42vehicle.
38:43And I don't remember the left blaming the victim when the fellow tried to escape from the mob
38:47been Charlottesville drove over and killed someone, I believe accidentally, but they made
38:53a martyr out of the person when they had the riots in the first Trump administration. And
38:58yet this time they're trying to say that ICE was provoking an unnecessary encounter. And
39:04I think it's just amazing how soon they switched just like when Venezuela fell, or when Maduro
39:10was captured, they've been jumping on Trump 10 years for not getting rid of them. Then when
39:14they get rid of them, they don't like the way he did it.
39:18Well, John, thank you for the call.
39:20And you just, you just made my point.
39:22Facts, truth, simply don't matter to them because they're in this great delusion.
39:29And see, they really believe that the only thing that can happen to save America
39:36is for them to take absolute power.
39:39I believe they believe that.
39:41Now, they'll do it in a way that won't seem like that's what they're doing.
39:44But they have absolute power in California.
39:48They have absolute power in Massachusetts.
39:50They have absolute power in Maine.
39:51They have absolute power.
39:53Well, maybe it may be not quite in Maine there.
39:56They're not quite there yet,
39:58but in Illinois, in Vermont, in Hawaii.
40:03I mean, their places where they basically
40:07are in total control.
40:11That's what they want for America.
40:14and nothing, no facts, no truth,
40:18will get in the way of that agenda.
40:21So thank you, John.
40:22Let's go to Jackie and where are you in Louisiana, Jackie?
40:31Yes, sir.
40:31I am in, like Charles, Louisiana.
40:34All right.
40:35Well, great to have you on the program.
40:38Yes, sir.
40:39Thank you.
40:40I was listening and I shared earlier,
40:42you know, I'm in total agreement, it is spiritual battle.
40:45You know, and sometimes the spiritual battle comes
40:49into the natural, you know.
40:51And, you know, like you were saying,
40:52our law enforcement does not have the backing
40:55that they're supposed to have, you know.
40:57And their government benefits are available to people.
41:03You know, you work all your life and pay taxes
41:05and you don't make enough to survive on, you know,
41:08but you could spend 30 years independent entry,
41:10never paid taxes, and come out and draw $1,000 a month
41:14and SSI, you know, are you illegal and you're complaining
41:19because you only get $400 a month boost
41:22when you've got people with their own disability
41:24and truly disabled, they get $23.
41:29Yeah, Jackie, thank you for the call.
41:32I don't know whether you saw the statistics at that hearing,
41:3581% of the Somalis in Minneapolis,
41:3981% are on welfare.
41:45And by the way, of those who have been there for more than 10 years, 78%.
41:54So that tells you that these folks are not here to add productivity, to contribute
42:04to our society.
42:06They're basically here to milk it.
42:09Now, they can say what they want to say about, you know, you're smearing a whole group.
42:13I'm sure there are decent Somalis who reject all of that.
42:17I'm sure of that. But when you have that many people on welfare, that you can't just chalk
42:25that up to, well, you have a few bad individuals. You've got a whole, what I call cultural pathology,
42:34where the norm in a group becomes abnormal. The abnormal becomes the norm. And look, what
42:45that tells me is we made a big mistake bringing them here. And we need to figure out a way
42:49to get them all out. And that's not a racist comment. That's that's that's just the fact we
42:54need to figure out a way to get them all out because they're not here for the right reasons.
42:58So go back to Somalia or somewhere. But again, you know, you say that and oh, you're a racist and
43:06you're you know, you're this that you're xenophobic. No, I'm an American first guy. And I believe that
43:14It is the biblical and responsible and the Christian thing to do to look out for my own country first.
43:23And I took that oath in the Marine Corps against all enemies, foreign and domestic,
43:29look out for my own country first. And that means keeping people out who I think are a threat
43:35and a danger to our country and kicking people out who are already here, but are a threat or danger
43:41to my country. So sue me, you know, because that's to me there that that is the only way to deal with
43:49this. And then you send them as to the rest of the world that no need going to America. Because if
43:54you're not contributing, you're not going there to contribute, you're not going there to help.
43:57And they figure that out, they're gonna kick you out. If you can get in, thank you for the call,
44:04Jackie. Let's go to Mike in West Virginia. Mike, welcome. The people who used this and the people
44:24who promised to create by keeping money away from next.
44:34All right. Well, Mike, thank you so much for the call. I'll certainly agree with the first part. I
44:39'm not sure I understand the second, but the first part I agree with. But again, that was the
44:44beginning of the revolution. That was the beginning of saying America is illegitimate.
44:51Therefore, our military people are illegitimate. Our government is illegitimate. Our Constitution
44:57is illegitimate, our founding fathers are illegitimate, and our being here is illegitimate. And the only
45:02way we can correct all the injustice that America represents is to turn things over to them,
45:08to the revolutionaries, to the Marxists, to the socialists. You all remember that Sean Penn and
45:15Danny Glover used to go down to visit Hugo Chavez and Venezuela all the time and talk about how
45:21how greedy was and how wonderful things were.
45:24Well, I'll tell you what, those are not people I want to look to for counsel because Hugo
45:33Chavez unleashed a destructive evil in Venezuela that has completely destroyed the economy of
45:39that country.
45:41But that's what they want for America.
45:42You see, because they've got this again, this delusional dystopian thinking that allowed
45:49to run his course, it'll destroy anything in his path.
45:53Let's go to Frank in Mississippi.
45:56Frank, welcome.
45:58Hey, hey, brother.
45:59You got to blame the Republicans, man.
46:03You know, they didn't nothing.
46:05Listen, Jenna Allison, the monster said they only got like 10 good Republicans in the Senate
46:11that you've been calling on.
46:12Where were they when Joe Biden was doing all of this?
46:16That wasn't when the borders were always lying.
46:22I mean, why do you can't find out how these people,
46:25who's paying these people out there doing all this stuff?
46:29And get to the head of the stinking snake.
46:33Yeah.
46:34Well, Frank, again, thank you for the call, my friend.
46:38Look, Frank, you are not off the mark.
46:44I've said many times, folks.
46:47There's some Republicans I really do admire
46:50and really do like and trust.
46:52But the party itself, I'll tell you what,
46:57and I wouldn't give two nickels for it.
46:59I really wouldn't.
47:00I mean, it's platform is more in agreement with me,
47:06which is why I identify myself as a Republican.
47:10But in terms of those who are willing to really fight
47:13for the principles that the platform enunciates,
47:16They just aren't very many of those.
47:21And if I start naming them or leave somebody out,
47:25and look, we know that nobody's perfect.
47:27So I'm not saying that every Republican has to be,
47:32Jesus as a registered Republican.
47:36I'm not saying that,
47:38but there's got to be courage and conviction and adherence
47:41to the principles of the party,
47:43and a willingness to fight for those,
47:45and an understanding that compromise never gets you anywhere
47:49with a party that will take all that you are willing to give it
47:52and then demand more.
47:54And by the way, I think this is part of the problem.
47:56The compromise is because there's very little there
48:01in the way of conviction.
48:03That's why they compromise, many of them.
48:06But again, you all can think of some of those
48:08that we do admire that we believe we can rely upon,
48:12but there are few and far between.
48:13There's no question about that.
48:14Wow, with a little time left, let me see.
48:17Let me get to Joe in Ohio.
48:22This is one of those important states.
48:24Joe, welcome.
48:26Yes, so thank you for all you do.
48:28Thank you for taking my call.
48:30Yeah, the last one of the previous callers
48:32hit the nail round they had.
48:33They're just too many rhinos and too many career politicians
48:37in there.
48:38You know, you have doge, Elon Musk, and doge come in there
48:42and six months, they find more fraud
48:44and the oversight committees in Congress
48:46have found in 20, 30, 40 years,
48:49they found it in six months.
48:51So in most of these career politicians don't wanna find it.
48:54You have a 23 year old kid,
48:56and he's a young man,
48:57I'm an old man, so I call him a kid.
48:5923 year old kid goes to Minnesota
49:02and finds more fraud in one day
49:03than the elected governor
49:05and the elected attorney general found in seven years.
49:07So there's just too many politicians on the dole,
49:10but thank you for all you do.
49:12God bless you and God bless American family radio.
49:15Hey man, thank you Joe.
49:16Well, look, you know, I learned this a long time ago, folks,
49:19and I involved in the politics.
49:21Most politicians are not leaders.
49:24See, a leader sees where we're supposed to be going
49:27and tries to persuade people to go that way.
49:30Most politicians are bellwethers who figure out
49:34which way they think people are already going
49:36or want to go, and then they just follow them.
49:39Like when we, when the, when the, the, uh, when same six marriage became the law of the
49:44land, uh, at many Republican conservatives, I would talk to it, say, I'm talking about
49:50politicians would say, well, that's shipping sale.
49:53We just have to, we just have to let that go.
49:55And I would say, well, if we did that with Roe v. Wade, you know, what would be the point
50:00of the pro-life movement.
50:03So they were only too quick to just discard the issue.
50:07I think it's still an issue and I think we can still change it back to the way it ought
50:10to be one man, one woman in the bonds of holy matrimony. But he, I'm not a politician. Well,
50:16folks, God bless you. Been great being with you. Love you all praying for you. Thank you
50:21so much for everything that you do and praise God for aFR. In the meantime, stand up, step
50:28up, speak up, refuse because we cannot be defeat, not quit because we are on God's side.
