  1. 0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
  2. 0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
  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. 0:29And now, the Hamilton Corner.
  11. 0:33Good evening, everybody.
  12. 0:34Welcome to the Hamilton Corner.
  13. 0:35My name is Abraham Hamilton, the third.
  14. 0:38Grateful to be with you here another day.
  15. 0:41You know, one of the things that I'm learning and growing in, it's a constant thing for
  16. 0:51me.
  17. 0:52But I appreciate you all tuning into this program.
  18. 0:54I want you to know that I do not take that for granted at all.
  19. 0:58There are so many places where you can invest your time and invest your hearts and your minds
  20. 1:04and your ears, but you've decided to hang out here with us.
  21. 1:08And so I am grateful for that.
  22. 1:11Our whole team here is grateful to you for that.
  23. 1:15My hope through this program is that we establish a biblical foundation through which we navigate
  24. 1:21the issues of the day.
  25. 1:22Over time, through the program, we are able to view things more consistently and more stridently
  26. 1:33in a biblical fashion.
  27. 1:35And we set the course for our engagement solely, well, not say solely, but from the Word of
  28. 1:40God as our anchor instead of jettisoning the Word of God and attempting to navigate life,
  29. 1:46that the Word of God is the means by which and through which we live.
  30. 1:52I feel like I'll do a better job than others, but that is the goal as we have the privilege
  31. 1:57of opening these microphones.
  32. 1:59At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you are making your transition from your
  33. 2:03part-time jobs where you generate an income to your full-time jobs where you cultivate
  34. 2:09an outcome.
  35. 2:10And as you do so, I want to remind you to do it with intentionality, understanding the
  36. 2:14the primacy that God places on family.
  37. 2:18I cannot state this enough.
  38. 2:22What goes on in your house?
  39. 2:24What goes on in my house is far more important
  40. 2:26than what goes on in the White House.
  41. 2:28What goes on in our homes as insane
  42. 2:32as things like yesterday's oral argument
  43. 2:35and this morning's Capitol Hill hearing was,
  44. 2:38and we were gonna get into it with Dr. Nisha Verma.
  45. 2:41Goodness gracious.
  46. 2:43Those things persist.
  47. 2:46What I'm talking about, some people have the audacity
  48. 2:49to get before the Supreme Court to make an argument
  49. 2:51about whether or not Title IX and our Constitution
  50. 2:54provides equal protection and prohibit discrimination
  51. 2:56on the basis of sex.
  52. 2:58Oh, but we don't have a definition of sex for you.
  53. 3:01Like how could you say that with a straight face?
  54. 3:04How could you say that with a straight face?
  55. 3:06Or if you have a question,
  56. 3:08will you have a doctor who is coming to testify
  57. 3:10as an expert in reproductive care?
  58. 3:14Dr. Can women can men get pregnant?
  59. 3:20Well, um, should about a Chevy, should about a Honda.
  60. 3:24Like what?
  61. 3:27And what I hope to demonstrate right now in this segment,
  62. 3:32that is not merely evidence of intellectual decline.
  63. 3:36It is actually evidence with the scripture,
  64. 3:39told us what happens, told us what would happen
  65. 3:43when any people reject the knowledge of God.
  66. 3:48The inevitable consequence of rejecting God and the knowledge of God is that people become idiots
  67. 3:58But idiocy is not some benign phenomenon
  68. 4:06Ideas have consequences
  69. 4:09bad ideas create casualties in
  70. 4:12The process of bad ideas creating casualties the enemy
  71. 4:18Satan uses these bad ideas in an effort to create roles
  72. 4:24blocks and impediments to people be holding the grace and glory of God.
  73. 4:33The capacity and the opportunity to head that off at the past, to provide fortification before
  74. 4:42the deception efforts ever arise.
  75. 4:45The primary vehicle, the primary institution is the family.
  76. 4:51Is the family.
  77. 4:52very similar to one of the best things that could happen for young ladies who are born is that they
  78. 4:57are blessed to have godly fathers who fortify them against wack dudes who would try to deceive them
  79. 5:06into court them. Similarly, and I'm just using that as an analogy, God has given his creation the
  80. 5:14family as the primary mechanism of fortifying hearts and minds against the insane, demonically
  81. 5:22inspired deception that is offered by the culture and the spirit of this wicked age.
  82. 5:29To the word of God we go, Romans chapter 1, as you're making your transition, guys, understand
  83. 5:35what you have the opportunity to do.
  84. 5:42Romans chapter 1, verses 18 through 22.
  85. 5:53This is what the Lord told us through the Apostle Paul, and I'm going to read it slowly,
  86. 6:00for the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness
  87. 6:08of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident
  88. 6:23within them, for God made it evident to them.
  89. 6:30since the creation of the world. His invisible attributes, His eternal power, and divine nature
  90. 6:38have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without
  91. 6:48excuse, for even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks, but
  92. 6:59they became futile in their speculations and their foolish heart was darkened.
  93. 7:05Professing to be wise, professing to be wise, they became fools.
  94. 7:15Guys, Romans 1 verse 18 tells us that man's sin-laden suppression is not the product of
  95. 7:25institutional and comprehensive ignorance.
  96. 7:28When I say institutional, I mean in the core of who we are.
  97. 7:34When I say comprehensive, certainly there are things specifically that you mean I understand.
  98. 7:39There are aspects of specific revelation that are not replete in general revelation that
  99. 7:47you may not understand, but surely, surely the generally applicable notions of general revelation
  100. 7:55are accessible to all mankind.
  101. 8:00But what men do is through our wicked conduct we suppress the truth.
  102. 8:10God intentionally conveys that a case concerning his existence and his attributes is made articulably
  103. 8:18through his creation.
  104. 8:21God's human biology, physiology, DNA, cellular query, cellular examination, these things speak
  105. 8:39of what do men do? Though we have all of that accessible, generally accessible information,
  106. 8:48No, no, no.
  107. 8:50We don't honor God as God.
  108. 8:52We'll reduce him to a force or reduce him to, you know, the universe.
  109. 8:58Have you heard that recently?
  110. 9:00The universe.
  111. 9:03We'll reduce him to, you know, the big man upstairs.
  112. 9:09You know, something.
  113. 9:14So that diminution of the transcendent creator also results in mankind not being thankful.
  114. 9:28And so the consequence of this, the consequence of this,
  115. 9:32you know, cause people say, oh, you know, hey, what a,
  116. 9:35you know, what is your problem, two men loving one another?
  117. 9:38That's not hoyting anybody, it's not hoyting anybody.
  118. 9:41Oh yeah, that was the scripture series.
  119. 9:44When we refuse to acknowledge God,
  120. 9:46refuse to retain God and acknowledge we deny the truth,
  121. 9:50that is, that echoes, that screams at us from within ourselves.
  122. 9:55The way that God has made his creation.
  123. 10:00That's not, you know, to use the law enforcement terminology.
  124. 10:03That's not a victimless crime.
  125. 10:05Because the consequences of that is that man kind becomes futile in their reasoning.
  126. 10:14Futile in their reasoning.
  127. 10:18You remember the movie Dumb and Dumber?
  128. 10:23Dumb and Dumber?
  129. 10:24Dumb and Dumber?
  130. 10:25Dumber and Dumber and Dumber?
  131. 10:28I dare anybody in this audience to pick up the New England Primer.
  132. 10:32to pick up a middle school reader from the 1800s
  133. 10:36and ask a high school student to do that work.
  134. 10:41Take the mental math problems from the New England Primer,
  135. 10:44which is the equivalent of an elementary school textbook
  136. 10:46and ask your high school seniors to do the mental math.
  137. 10:48Well, you have to solve the math problem
  138. 10:50that's conveyed in a paragraph form
  139. 10:52and you only can do so without using pencil or pen.
  140. 10:57Mental math.
  141. 10:59And then ask me, then ask yourself the question,
  142. 11:02are we really getting dumber and dumber?
  143. 11:05We have all the data, the National Assessment of Educational Progress Data year in year out.
  144. 11:11I did an entire show how much money we spend on government education, but look at the results.
  145. 11:19And yet as a society we'll see, oh yes, yes we are progressing.
  146. 11:23We are advancing.
  147. 11:24Oh yes, yes, we are advancing at such a clip, at such a pace that we no longer understand
  148. 11:34Whether it is only women who can bear children, they, we cannot say mothers bear children because
  149. 11:45we have grown, we have advanced, we have progressed to the place to where we now understand the
  150. 11:52complexities of identity.
  151. 11:56And we have birthing people.
  152. 12:06And the thing that grieves me with this is how, how few people understand guys, this problem
  153. 12:18at his core is a spiritual problem.
  154. 12:20It's a spiritual problem.
  155. 12:23It's a spiritual problem.
  156. 12:25We as a society got pushed to the brink.
  157. 12:27We endured four years of the ice cream man, Mr. No Malarkey got to be in bed by 3 p.m.
  158. 12:35We're not going to get more money in his retirement pension than he got when he was in occupying
  159. 12:42the Oval Office. We had cackling, she was the number of you present at the remix. And it scared
  160. 12:49people to realize, man, I don't know what I want, but I don't want taxpayer dollars going
  161. 12:53to give sex changes to jail prisoners, inmate, prison inmates. And that's what it takes for
  162. 12:58people to wake up. And the waking up is not a fully awakening. It's just coming to the
  163. 13:04place where I don't want that kind of, I mean, that's just, and in less than 10 years went
  164. 13:11from, yes, same-sex marriage with a burger fell, and you got chase strange, yo, yes,
  165. 13:16change, change, change in front of our Supreme Court, arguing that that two-year-olds know whether
  166. 13:22or not they've been born in the right body.
  167. 13:25Guys, this insanity is an idiocy that is not merely intellectual deficiency.
  168. 13:30It's the product of rebellion.
  169. 13:34And that's what we do not see.
  170. 13:37That's what we do not see.
  171. 13:39The cobblestone road towards rebellion in the sexually perverse direction followed heterosexual
  172. 13:49rebellion against God's standards. Our society went at hormone ging. In heterosexual context,
  173. 14:00pulpits became silent on adultery and fornication. And guess what happens? Darkness is not an affirmative
  174. 14:07force. Immediately reoccupies the space vacated by the light. Compromise became far more prevalent
  175. 14:14in pulpits in our country. And as the old saying goes, what is tolerated in the pulpit will
  176. 14:22be amplified in the pews.
  177. 14:27To the place to where the body that's been called to be the pill and ground of truth has
  178. 14:31generally become a bi-word in our society.
  179. 14:38Our greatest need is repentance man.
  180. 14:40Our greatest need is for the Lord to pour out His Spirit in our nation, to open our eyes
  181. 14:45to the prevalence of rebellion.
  182. 14:48Because as it stands, right now much of our society is content that we have a few nips
  183. 14:52and tucks around the stock market and the economy, but are not interested in repentance.
  184. 15:00What if health care could be more than bills and bureaucracy?
  185. 15:04What if it could reflect faith, foster community, and offer spiritual support?
  186. 15:09At Redeem Health Share Ministry, the mission goes beyond medical bills.
  187. 15:13It's about honoring Christ and embracing health care that aligns with Christian values.
  188. 15:19Redeem members share medical expenses through monthly contributions, supporting one another
  189. 15:23in a Christ-centered community.
  190. 15:25It's not insurance, it's believers helping believers
  191. 15:28through financial support and prayer.
  192. 15:30And, Redeem Health Share provides freedom for members to select the doctors, hospitals,
  193. 15:35and treatments that are right for them.
  194. 15:37No networks, no restrictions, just faith-driven care.

  199. 16:00Shining light into the darkness, this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
  200. 16:12Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third.
  201. 16:15Here, grateful to be with you as I stated in the first segment.
  202. 16:20Tomorrow starts the Tabernacle Church's Leadership Summit in South Haven, Mississippi.
  203. 16:25We will be there January 15th through the 17th. You are welcome. Simply go to tabsSouthhaven.org
  204. 16:34for all of the information needed for this Leadership Summit. I'm excited to be a part of this event.
  205. 16:42This has been my first time participating in this event. In the next month, February 20th,
  206. 16:47through the 22nd we will be in Simsboro, Louisiana at First Baptist Simsboro located at 133 Tiger
  207. 16:55Drive, Simsboro, Louisiana 71275 for their family focus weekend. To participate in the event,
  208. 17:02there's no charge for the family focus weekend, but you are, we do ask that you register because
  209. 17:08the church is providing food for all attendees, and so we want to make sure we're able to get an
  210. 17:12accurate account of people beforehand. In order to register you need to go to FBC
  211. 17:19SMISBO.org that is FBC Simsborough.org. Click on the events tab and you'll see the family focus
  212. 17:28we can there and there is where that is where you'll be able to register. Alright, let's get into it.
  213. 17:34It's disgusting to me that we are at this place in our nation's history to where we're
  214. 17:45debating things that we're publicly debating things that my four-year-old understands,
  215. 17:56that we as a society have understood for the entirety of our existence until now.
  216. 18:05We have professional people who have earned certain indications of academic investment and
  217. 18:21we're having questions about some of the most rudimentary concepts and debating them, debating
  218. 18:31them, using big words, hiding behind, stare at the slices, jurisprudence was legislative
  219. 18:39definition for simple concepts. What am I talking about? I am talking about two cases,
  220. 18:50the first cases style West Virginia lawsuits, West Virginia versus BPJ and little versus
  221. 18:56HECOCs. These cases come from West Virginia and Idaho respectively. Because those states
  222. 19:03have the bright ideas to say, you know what, we recognize a trend in sanity that's sweeping
  223. 19:09the country, we think it's important to protect our girls from having boys invade their sports.
  224. 19:17We recognize there's this thing called biological distinctives.
  225. 19:23The facts are that God has made men and women differently.
  226. 19:26There's a reason why, for example, when powerlifting, you have men's world record holders, you have
  227. 19:30women's world record holders.
  228. 19:32And swimming, men's world record holders, women's world record holders.
  229. 19:36You know, track and field, men's world's record holders, women's world record, you name the event,
  230. 19:43we have this.
  231. 19:50Title IX was added to the Panoply of the Civil Rights legislation in full recognition of the
  232. 19:55distinction between men and women.
  233. 19:57You'll notice that Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex.
  234. 20:02You've heard me on this show say over and over and over that this is one of the main reasons
  235. 20:08Why? Because words have meanings that you will never hear me describe people in terms of gender.
  236. 20:15Once again, for the largest of the existence of the United States of America,
  237. 20:20we never use the term gender to apply to people until the sexual revolution. Why? Because
  238. 20:28wicked men and seducers heard that term before, you know, 2 Timothy 3, decided that we needed
  239. 20:34made it later foundation to create a distinction between how people feel and how they're made
  240. 20:41in order to make room for a confusing, amorphous amalgamation of gobbledygook that means nothing
  241. 20:50to a life of rebellion to be given legal sanction. Ultimately, to create protective classes in
  242. 20:56the American jurisprudence for people based on their wicked desires. They didn't say it
  243. 21:02that way, but that's what they sought to accomplish.
  244. 21:07We used to understand, even in our mental health communities,
  245. 21:10that homosexuality was a mental pathology
  246. 21:13to say differently that if you had attractions
  247. 21:16toward people who shared your biology,
  248. 21:18that there's something wrong with your mind
  249. 21:21and your development.
  250. 21:24That changed not as the product of scientific query
  251. 21:28and experimentation, it changed because of political lobbying
  252. 21:33at these places, the American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association, the
  253. 21:37American Medical Association.
  254. 21:39It wasn't study that was done.
  255. 21:42It was moneyed interests and politics.
  256. 21:47So here we are.
  257. 21:49So now we have a US Supreme Court that one of the current justices on the court, which,
  258. 21:55you know, I think if you don't know what a woman is, you probably should recuse yourself
  259. 22:00when the legal issue before the court is what is a woman?
  260. 22:04Maybe I'm a little, maybe I'm a little on tilt.
  261. 22:06No Bobby, maybe I had one too many cups of coffee today,
  262. 22:09which I didn't only have one hours ago,
  263. 22:13but if you don't know what a woman is,
  264. 22:14and there's an issue coming before the court
  265. 22:17that says we need to know what a woman is, right?
  266. 22:23Goodness gracious.
  267. 22:24And, oh man.
  268. 22:32You know what's the trick, Jeff?
  269. 22:34The same people who don't know what a woman is,
  270. 22:35these are the same people that were doing back flips
  271. 22:38because Kackling Camelot is running for president
  272. 22:42as a what? These are some of the same people that wanted a round of applause for she or
  273. 22:50she would never be president because she was running to be president as a what? Man, it's
  274. 23:02like the big green glob goblin had just ran around and just smacked our country across
  275. 23:06the head with a stupid stick. And you in very moderated tones, in very demure presentation,
  276. 23:19offering some of the most ridiculous things that could be stated within a professional
  277. 23:23context. So in this West Virginia versus B.P.J. and little versus Hecox's over argument
  278. 23:29that took place yesterday, the issue is simply whether or not these states have the lawful
  279. 23:34authority to keep boys who say they feel like girls, but they're boys, to keep these
  280. 23:41boys from competing in women's sports. That's the issue. Unsurprisingly, it's not the only
  281. 23:51one, but some of the sharpest criticisms of this ideology was presented by Justice Samuel
  282. 23:57Alito when he got right to the nut of the matter and is questioning of the ACLU attorney
  283. 24:04Kathleen Hartnett.
  284. 24:06We basically got to it.
  285. 24:07Okay.
  286. 24:08You can turn about prohibitions against discrimination on the basis of sex.
  287. 24:11What's the legal definition of sex?
  288. 24:14If you haven't heard this yet, buckle your seat belts because these are people.
  289. 24:19Thank you.
  290. 24:20They say, eight, breathe.
  291. 24:21Thank you.
  292. 24:22Thank you.
  293. 24:23I'm going to breathe.
  294. 24:28I'm going to breathe.
  295. 24:29Listen to this exchange between Justice Samuel Alito and ACLU attorney Kathleen Hartnett
  296. 24:33that took place just yesterday, alright?
  297. 24:36And, but wait, there's more.
  298. 24:39If you think it was just in scotish yesterday,
  299. 24:41well you would be mistaken, but we'll start there.
  300. 24:44This is audio from the oral arguments,
  301. 24:46just by way of reminder, the Supreme Court
  302. 24:48doesn't allow cameras inside,
  303. 24:49which is why you only have audio from oral arguments
  304. 24:52and Supreme Court hearings.
  305. 24:53Listen to clip number two, clip two, go.
  306. 24:56For a category of students classified as boys
  307. 25:01in a category of students classified as girls.
  308. 25:03Yes, Your Honor.
  309. 25:05If it does that, then is it not necessary for there to be
  310. 25:10for equal protection purposes, if that is challenged
  311. 25:12under the Equal Protection Clause,
  312. 25:15an understanding of what it means to be a boy or a girl
  313. 25:18or a man or a woman?
  314. 25:20Yes, Your Honor.
  315. 25:21And what is that definition?
  316. 25:22For equal protection purposes, what does it mean to be
  317. 25:26a boy or a girl or a man or a woman?
  318. 25:28Sorry, I misunderstood your question.
  319. 25:30I think that the underlying enactment,
  320. 25:31whatever it was, the policy, the law,
  321. 25:33the would have to have an understanding of how the state
  322. 25:36or the government was just understanding that term
  323. 25:39to figure out whether or not someone was excluded.
  324. 25:41We do not have a definition for the court.
  325. 25:43And we don't take issue with the,
  326. 25:45we're not disputing the definition here.
  327. 25:47What we're saying is that the way it applies in practice
  328. 25:49is to exclude birth sex males categorically
  329. 25:52from women's teams and that there's a subset
  330. 25:54of those birth sex males where it doesn't make sense
  331. 25:56to do so according to the state's own interest.
  332. 25:59Well, how can you, how can a court determine
  333. 26:02whether there's discrimination on basis of sex
  334. 26:06without knowing what sex means
  335. 26:08for equal protection purposes.
  336. 26:11I think here we just know that they've identified
  337. 26:16pursuant to their own statute, Lindsay qualifies
  338. 26:18as a birth sex male.
  339. 26:20And she's being excluded categorically
  340. 26:21from the women's teams as the statute.
  341. 26:23So we're taking the statute's definitions as we find them
  342. 26:26and we don't dispute them, we're just trying to figure out
  343. 26:28do they create an equal protection problem.
  344. 26:32Cole.
  345. 26:34Cole, you stupid.
  346. 26:43If we are debating whether someone is protected from
  347. 26:52discrimination on the basis of sex, how can a court weigh in
  348. 26:59if we don't have a definition of the word sex?
  349. 27:07And did you hear how she's got to run through that?
  350. 27:10Well, according to the statute, Lindsay is a bird sex male.
  351. 27:17Now, guys, I'm not a biologist.
  352. 27:23I'm not, I didn't go to medical school.
  353. 27:27I got babies, I made some by guys, Grace,
  354. 27:32but I'm not a biologist.
  355. 27:35But we've talked about this before.
  356. 27:38We could keep trying to play these stupid games
  357. 27:40as we want, but the stupid games are only played
  358. 27:42because you're trying to pause it a lie.
  359. 27:44What is the lie I'm talking about?
  360. 27:46Why are we talking about people in terms of birth sex?
  361. 27:49Guys, birth does nothing in terms of determining sex.
  362. 27:54You ask any mom in this audience,
  363. 27:57like we usually do these things.
  364. 27:58Remember this wondrous technology that developed,
  365. 28:02you know, called an ultrasound?
  366. 28:04What is the thing that people do,
  367. 28:05Jeff, Bob, y'all help me here.
  368. 28:07They do these things, they do them all kind of ways.
  369. 28:08Sometimes you have cakes that are pink and blue.
  370. 28:11Sometimes you have balloons, you know, the balloons,
  371. 28:13the things that get inflated,
  372. 28:14where you heal them, they have different colors.
  373. 28:15So what are the colors?
  374. 28:16Aren't the colors only pink or blue?
  375. 28:20Now help me here.
  376. 28:21Usually it's only, there's 156 colors that are employed.
  377. 28:25Only blue.
  378. 28:26Only blue.
  379. 28:27Okay.
  380. 28:27Okay.
  381. 28:28And what are we learning usually?
  382. 28:31And this normally happens, correct me if I'm wrong,
  383. 28:33but this normally happens when the baby's still
  384. 28:36in the tummy, nestled up, right?
  385. 28:38Warming, bacon, right?
  386. 28:40Am I right about it?
  387. 28:42And we have these events.
  388. 28:45Reveal part.
  389. 28:47Oh, reveal party.
  390. 28:49Oh, so these are revelations that occur
  391. 28:52prior to birth, am I right about it?
  392. 28:55Please.
  393. 28:57Guys, this is stupid.
  394. 28:58This is so, this is so,
  395. 29:01and I don't mean it as an invective,
  396. 29:04I mean it as a pause,
  397. 29:07as an invitation to pause and reflect on the status
  398. 29:11of the insanity that we have become as a nation,
  399. 29:17that we are taking up Supreme Court time.
  400. 29:21We are writing legal briefs.
  401. 29:22We are filing lawsuits.
  402. 29:24They're spending money on lawyers.
  403. 29:26We're doing all of these things to answer questions
  404. 29:29that have been answered for millennia.
  405. 29:32But you know why we're wrestling with these questions?
  406. 29:35And I want you to zoom out with me
  407. 29:37and consider what we're really doing.
  408. 29:39The only reason why we are wrestling
  409. 29:41with these questions today is because of Romans 1.
  410. 29:46Because of what is stated in Romans 1.
  411. 29:47It's not that men are ignorant.
  412. 29:49It is that men seek to suppress.
  413. 29:53It's very similar to trying to be slick
  414. 29:56and use a Latin word to describe a child
  415. 29:58you want to murder before they're born.
  416. 30:02And you simply saying, baby in another language?
  417. 30:09This, this, this is, this is.
  418. 30:13Guys, this is, do you see, do you see why,
  419. 30:17I continue to say the greatest and most desperate need
  420. 30:20is repentance in our land.
  421. 30:22Do you see?
  422. 30:26The only reason why these questions
  423. 30:28being debated publicly and has all of this emotion surrounding it and all of this
  424. 30:31attention going to it is because men are seeking to suppress the truth. We're seeking to justify
  425. 30:39ourselves, not submit ourselves to the transcendent objective truth that is even evident within us.
  426. 30:48us. You will say Lindsey is a birth sex male, but she is prevented from like Lord, Lord,
  427. 31:04we need you. We need you. And if you thought it was only in the Supreme Court, you would
  428. 31:13be mistaken. Thankfully, thankfully, the majority of the court seems to share my opinion
  429. 31:21on this matter. But can I tell you something that is startling? Y'all want to know what
  430. 31:26the lower court thought? So there are lawyers and black dresses on the lower courts that
  431. 31:33thought, well, yeah, short, certainly, you feel like a lighter than you're all like. You tell
  432. 31:42me how you feel. And then this morning, today, capital hill, yeah, capital hill. There was
  433. 31:59hearing. Let me tell you the committee. I have it right here. It was in the United
  434. 32:06States Senate's Health Education Labor and Pensions Committee. I have an acronym.
  435. 32:12It's a cute help. The Health Committee. Health. Health Education Labor and Pensions.
  436. 32:17Well you had Dr. Nisha Verma, medical doctor. Oh yeah, medical doctor. Who is
  437. 32:28is an obstetrician, a gynecologist, board certified,
  438. 32:33fellowship trained, providing full spectrum,
  439. 32:37reproductive healthcare.
  440. 32:40She was called to testify in a hearing
  441. 32:44on quote, protecting women, exposing the dangers
  442. 32:48of chemical abortion drugs.
  443. 32:50That was the name of the hearing.
  444. 32:50Y'all wanna hear this?
  445. 32:52She had a wonderful exchange with Senator Josh Harley.
  446. 33:00When you hear this,
  447. 33:03This is American Family News.
  448. 33:05You know what follows is the truth.
  449. 33:07Your news from a Christian perspective.
  450. 33:09Hundreds of teachers are going to have to walk into that school building
  451. 33:13and therefore to swallow political ideology.
  452. 33:16And in many cases, the highlights are very safe and constant.

  457. 33:32You look at three of the four justices there in Colorado that voted to remove him from the
  458. 33:38ballot.
  459. 33:39They all came from Ivy League schools, schools that had been created as divinity schools.
  460. 33:43What a picture of the apostasy in America when it comes to the church.

  463. 34:00This is David Wheaton, host of the Christian worldview.
  464. 34:05Minnesota, again, became a national flashpoint after it was exposed that Somali Muslim immigrants
  465. 34:11have defrauded taxpayers of an estimated $9 billion through fake businesses.
  466. 34:17This was enabled by leftist politicians in the city and state who may be benefiting from the theft.
  467. 34:23The lesson here is that leftists and Islamists partner to undermine our nation financially
  468. 34:30and spiritually.
  469. 34:32Christians should oppose this assault following the Biblical command to be on the alert, stand
  470. 34:37firm in the faith, act like men, be strong, let all that you do be done in love.
  471. 34:43Here are most recent programs on this topic at theChristianworldview.org and then tune
  472. 34:48in this weekend as we discuss whether hell is temporal or eternal.
  473. 34:53to the Christian worldview with David Wheaton,
  474. 34:55Saturday mornings at 8 Central on American Family Radio.
  475. 35:00Biblical marriage in America was once considered sacred,
  476. 35:03even according to the law.
  477. 35:04Marriage itself, one man and one woman,
  478. 35:07with legal enforceable duties towards their children.
  479. 35:10Had a structure that reflected a G.D.O. Christian tradition,
  480. 35:14and that was enforced in law.
  481. 35:15Laws used to be based on religion and morality,
  482. 35:18but what about today?
  483. 35:19Religion and morality have almost become this toxic word
  484. 35:22you can't talk about in government, right?
  485. 35:24Anything religious and moral,
  486. 35:25that's just gonna have to be the churches.
  487. 35:27In the next AFA at home, Walker Wildman and his guests
  488. 35:30take an in-depth look at strategies
  489. 35:32that will help restore state authority
  490. 35:34over marriage and morality.
  491. 35:35That was the standard.
  492. 35:37That was the norm.
  493. 35:38Rule, that was the norm for most of the history of our country
  494. 35:40and the courts giving us an opportunity to return to that.

  508. 36:28The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Common Terrets are available at eFR.net.
  509. 36:40Back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
  510. 36:45Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner Abraham Hamilton the third year.
  511. 36:48Man, the show was flying by.
  512. 36:51I mentioned Dr. Nisha Verma had an interesting exchange with Senator Josh Hawley, but it's
  513. 36:55that actually Josh Hollis exchange followed the exchange with Senator Ashley Moody in
  514. 37:05which basic biology was asked. And again, it's important to understand the context because
  515. 37:10if you see this clip, but you don't understand the context, actually these are a couple clips
  516. 37:14too, just too. It'll be easy or not easy. You could lose some of the gravity of the exchange
  517. 37:23because the entire purpose of this exchange, the title of the hearing is the entire purpose
  518. 37:31of the hearing, I mean, the exchange was a part of this entire hearing on, quote, protecting
  519. 37:38women, exposing the dangers of chemical abortion drugs, end quote, all right?
  520. 37:45Now, fellas, if the hearing is about protecting women, what would be the operative focus of
  521. 37:52the hearing you might think, right? Yes. Understanding what women are and what women aren't. Senator
  522. 38:09Hawley, in an effort to gain a basic baseline understanding with the witness who was presenting
  523. 38:16before him, asked the simple question, can men get pregnant? It followed up on Senator
  524. 38:25ask you Moody's line of questioning, but I'll let you take a gander.
  525. 38:32Apply your eyes and ears to this that took place today on Capitol Hill.
  526. 38:37Clip number three, clip three, go.
  527. 38:39Dr. Verma, I wasn't sure I understood your answer to Senator Moody a moment ago.
  528. 38:44Do you think that men can get pregnant?
  529. 38:48I hesitated there because I wasn't sure where the conversation was going or what the goal
  530. 38:52was.
  531. 38:53I mean, I do take care of patients with different identities.
  532. 38:55I take care of many women.
  533. 38:57I take care of people with different identities.
  534. 38:59And so that's where I paused.
  535. 39:01I think I wasn't sure where you were going with that.
  536. 39:05Well, the goal is just the truth.
  537. 39:06So can men get pregnant?
  538. 39:08Again, the reason I paused there is I'm not really sure
  539. 39:12what the goal of the question is.
  540. 39:13The goal is just to establish a biological reality.
  541. 39:16You just said a moment ago that science and evidence
  542. 39:19should control, not politics.
  543. 39:21So let's just test that proposition.
  544. 39:23Can men get pregnant?
  545. 39:25I take care of people with many identities,
  546. 39:27but I don't care if many women that can get pregnant,
  547. 39:31I do take care of people that don't identify as women.
  548. 39:34Can men get pregnant?
  549. 39:37Again, as I'm saying.
  550. 39:39Let me just remind you, you testified two moments ago.
  551. 39:41Science and evidence should control not politics.
  552. 39:45So can men get pregnant?
  553. 39:48You're a doctor, isn't it?
  554. 39:49I don't think science and evidence should guide medicine.
  555. 39:52Do science and evidence tell us
  556. 39:53that men can get pregnant, biological men?
  557. 39:56Can they get pregnant?
  558. 39:57I also think yes, no questions like this are a political tool and no yes, no questions are about the truth doctor
  559. 40:02Let's not make a mockery of this proceeding. I also think yes, no questions are a political tool
  560. 40:15What when okay? Oh?
  561. 40:20Yes, yes, yes, yes
  562. 40:22yes
  563. 40:23But in this instance, I actually I think it's far worse than the basics to pity guys. It's insidious
  564. 40:30It really really is
  565. 40:33It's insidious.
  566. 40:34It is, do not believe your lying eyes.
  567. 40:45We have all, we have known that there's only men who can get pregnant.
  568. 40:51She is the one who said that science should, in evidence, should govern not politics.
  569. 40:59I don't know about you all, but I will be very, very much not in favor of anybody that I
  570. 41:05know going to see this woman for medical help.
  571. 41:12I'll give you one more.
  572. 41:16from the United States Supreme Court, all the way to Capitol Hill. These are conversations
  573. 41:26that were, these are two conversations that happened this week, this last one this morning.
  574. 41:32Listen to clip two. I'm sorry, listen to the second part of the second clip I have for you
  575. 41:36for this exchange between Senator Hawley and Dr. Verma.
  576. 41:39Clip number four, clip four, go.
  577. 41:41This is about science and evidence. I'm asking you, you know, the United States Supreme Court
  578. 41:46just heard arguments yesterday at great links on this question.
  579. 41:50This is not a hypothetical question.
  580. 41:51This is not theoretical.
  581. 41:52It affects real people in their real lives.
  582. 41:55And you're here as an expert called by the other side
  583. 41:58as an expert.
  584. 41:59And you've been telling us that you follow, right,
  585. 42:02you're a doctor.
  586. 42:03And you follow the science and the evidence.
  587. 42:05So I just want to know, based on the science,
  588. 42:08can men get pregnant?
  589. 42:11That's a yes or no question.
  590. 42:12It really is, I think.
  591. 42:13I think you're trying to reduce the complexity of a lot.
  592. 42:16I'm not, it's not complex.
  593. 42:19I'm trying to get to an answer,
  594. 42:20and I'm trying to test, frankly, your veracity
  595. 42:24as a medical professional and as a scientist.
  596. 42:27Can men get pregnant?
  597. 42:28I think you're also conflating male with-
  598. 42:31This is extraordinary.
  599. 42:32No, I'm not conflating male and female.
  600. 42:34There are two different things.
  601. 42:35There's biological men, and there's biological women.
  602. 42:39And I want to know, can men get pregnant?
  603. 42:41What you were talking about is biological-
  604. 42:44You're not going to answer my question, it sounds like-
  605. 42:46males. This isn't hard, Doctor. Can men get pregnant? Yes or no? I would be more than happy to have a conversation with you that is not coming from a place of trying to be polarized and push me. I'm not trying to be
  606. 43:02polarizing. I'm trying to ask, I think it is extraordinary that we are here in hearing about science
  607. 43:09and about women and for the record it's women who get pregnant, not men. She's a doctor, guys.
  608. 43:20She's a doctor. We are having these conversations because of the prevalence of rebellion in our
  609. 43:30society. This is startling because these are the people who are professionals in many areas,
  610. 43:51and this is what we're discussing. And the unwillingness to say, the only reason why she would not say
  611. 44:00that, no, men can't get pregnant. She could easily, if I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt,
  612. 44:07she could easily say no, it is only women who get pregnant.
  613. 44:13However, she could say that, she could say however,
  614. 44:15there are people who identify themselves,
  615. 44:17I mean, I don't wanna get her any answers,
  616. 44:19y'all know what she could've said,
  617. 44:19but she didn't wanna say that, you know why?
  618. 44:21Because contrary to her original statement
  619. 44:22that she's gonna follow the science and evidence,
  620. 44:24she doesn't wanna follow the science and evidence
  621. 44:26because the political nomin-clature is more important to her.
  622. 44:32And I am saying that the reason why the political nomin-clature
  623. 44:36is more important to her is because she is a part of the idiocracy institute establishment
  624. 44:46that gives cover for the normalization of rebellion.
  625. 44:54They want you and I to accept the perverted mindsets as if they are normal.
  626. 45:05This is why she didn't want to say it's no different than nominee, Katajibriha and Jack
  627. 45:11Now, Justice Kataunce Brown Jackson being unwilling to say what a woman was, even though at the exact same time her supporters were celebrating, among other things, the historic nature of our nomination to the court, because she was a woman.
  628. 45:26I have so much more I want to say about that, and I will in the coming programs, but I don't want the show to run out before I have the opportunity to address the issue in Iran.
  629. 45:42So I did a commentary, some of you know I do one minute commentaries that air throughout
  630. 45:46the day on AFR.
  631. 45:48You can find those on, if you would like to on the AFR podcast page as well, they're one
  632. 45:52minute each.
  633. 45:53And I did a commentary on the Iranian issue in this regard that we should never forget historically
  634. 46:02that the great awakening in our nation preceded the American Revolution.
  635. 46:10where, you know, just as the Tocqueville mentioned, pulpits of flambin' righteousness,
  636. 46:16there's much conversation about the Black Rogue Regiment and how frankly pastors preaching
  637. 46:23the full counsel of God's word laid the theological framework that set the stage for
  638. 46:31our founders' willingness to make that gigantic effort to detangle from England.
  639. 46:44Well, the last two decades, the largest number of people who have been converted to Christianity
  640. 46:51in the world, according to our international missions organizations, have been in Iran.
  641. 46:58And in the commentary I said, could it be that the courage to stand in the face of the murderous
  642. 47:04Ayatollah regime has followed or has flowed from the proliferation of the gospel in the
  643. 47:12nation of Iran?
  644. 47:13I just posed a question.
  645. 47:14I don't have the way to quantify that at this moment, but it's a thought that crossed
  646. 47:18my mind.
  647. 47:20That being said, right now, and even just what a dare to of those CBS news broke a story that
  648. 47:28It said that the Iranian regime has slaughtered anywhere between 12 to 20,000 Iranian citizens
  649. 47:35as protests have broken out all across that country and the government while it is shutting
  650. 47:41off the internet largely, even though you have some people are still getting some videos
  651. 47:45out, but largely the internet is being shut down in the country.
  652. 47:50And why they're shutting the internet down because they don't want the world to see what they're
  653. 47:52doing to the people.
  654. 47:53I mean, come on, it's not rocket surgery.
  655. 47:56They shut the internet off because they don't want anybody to see what they're doing and
  656. 48:00And then the CBS story flowed from a correspondent who saw bodies lined up
  657. 48:05outside of a morgue
  658. 48:07According to the story. Well
  659. 48:11President Trump
  660. 48:12Has said more than once first posting on social media now in a speech that
  661. 48:20Stating to the Iranian protesters that help is on the way listen to and watch
  662. 48:25Watch clip number one, clip one, go.
  663. 48:30To all Iranian patriots, keep protesting, take over your institutions if possible, and save
  664. 48:39the name of the killers and the abusers that are abusing you.
  665. 48:42You're being very badly abused.
  666. 48:44If the numbers are right now, I hear five different sets of numbers.
  667. 48:48I hear numbers.
  668. 48:49Look, one death is too much, but I hear much lower numbers and then I hear much higher numbers,
  669. 48:54But I say, save their names because they'll pay a very big price.
  670. 49:00Then I've canceled all meetings with the Iranian officials until the senseless killing of protesters
  671. 49:05stops.
  672. 49:06And all I say to them is help is on its way.
  673. 49:11Help is on its way.
  674. 49:12Oh boy.
  675. 49:15Now one thing that immediately came to my mind is it amazing how quiet it is amongst most
  676. 49:23to the regressive spokesmiles and outlets,
  677. 49:26did they not saying anything about,
  678. 49:28I thought we were against genocide, you know?
  679. 49:31Mass murder, mass murder, we don't celebrate that at all.
  680. 49:36And information is being scuttled.
  681. 49:40Anybody seen any protests on college campuses
  682. 49:43about the slaughter of the Iranians?
  683. 49:46Now I might, I said the number 12 to 12 to 20,000 people
  684. 49:49murdered, I'm talking about since like December.
  685. 49:52like the latter part of December is when these protests began.
  686. 49:57And the Iranian regime's response has been,
  687. 50:00oh, all right, look, shut out the lights,
  688. 50:01cut the lights off, cut the internet off,
  689. 50:03and they're gunning people down in the streets
  690. 50:05according to the reports.
  691. 50:11I haven't seen Yale, not a one protest, Colombia, you see?
  692. 50:15I ain't seen it, Bob, I ain't seen nobody protesting
  693. 50:17in Colombia.
  694. 50:18Oh, okay.
  695. 50:22Yeah, let me see.
  696. 50:26Yeah, oh yeah, in fact, one October 7th happened.
  697. 50:29They were protesting in favor of Hamas.
  698. 50:31You see, when October 7th happened.
  699. 50:34Yeah, yeah, see it don't fit their narrative.
  700. 50:38Now, my heart breaks to hear about this slaughter,
  701. 50:46but I have questions.
  702. 50:50Nicholas Maduro, now Maduro Frio,
  703. 50:55a totalitarian dictator.
  704. 50:56I found, you know, testimonies of people
  705. 50:59they've been put, they have torture chambers.
  706. 51:01I mean, it's terrible there.
  707. 51:03I ran some of the same things that happening.
  708. 51:06But my question then turns to what exactly
  709. 51:09is American foreign policy?
  710. 51:11Because if the issue is, well,
  711. 51:14if we find out that governments are killing their own people,
  712. 51:18we're gonna do something about it,
  713. 51:20then does that apply to China?
  714. 51:25How broadly does that apply?
  715. 51:28So I really think that in the process
  716. 51:30of navigating these things,
  717. 51:34that the American people, and this is to President Trump,
  718. 51:37in order for the American people to stay with you, President Trump.
  719. 51:41You need to articulate clarity concerning the vision and what our foreign policy truly
  720. 51:49is because we can't be the world's police, you know?
  721. 51:54And if the policy is, if the government's killing their own people, then are we going
  722. 51:58to apply that broadly or selectively?
  723. 52:01And whatever it is, in order to maintain support, you're going to need to articulate that for
  724. 52:06the American people.
  725. 52:09The views and opinions expressed in this broadcast may not necessarily reflect those of the American
  726. 52:14Family Association or American Family Radio.
