0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
0:02It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
0:06This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
0:10It 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.
0:23Even in this dark moment.
0:26Let's not miss our moment.
0:28And now, the Hamilton Corner.
0:33Good evening, everyone.
0:34Welcome to the Hamilton Corner.
0:36My name is Abraham Hamilton III.
0:38I am the host of the program joined on this evening
0:43by the Corner Contingent, as is the custom right across
0:47from me, my man, 100 grand Mr. Bobby.
0:49Rosa, which is commenting on Emmanuel Macron's
0:53pension for aviators, apparently.
0:58This guy.
0:59In the screening room, we have Purdue's extraordinaire.
1:01often imitated but never duplicated successfully. That is many try, but you know they fry none
1:09other than the real Jay Mac ladies and gentlemen. We are ready to rock and roll with today's
1:13edition of the program at this very moment. Many of you, if not most of you are making your
1:18transition from your part time jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs where
1:24you cultivate an outcome. And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality.
1:31in the primacy that God places on family and allowing the primacy that God places on the
1:39family to guide and to govern our engagement.
1:45We will never be able to, as a society, as a nation, and most importantly, as a church
1:51of the living God, be able to outpace deficiencies that abound in the home.
1:58There's a reason why people, unfortunately, many evil people who had wicked intentions,
2:05they understood the significance of children.
2:09They understood the significance of that formative stage of life.
2:16But we all too often place significance and importance on everything else, only to realize
2:24sometimes when it's too late, that man, this is where I should have been spending my time.
2:30I've shared before, one of the great blessings in my life.
2:33My pastor in New Orleans had the wisdom and the foresight,
2:38as he discerned God was calling me to serve in ministering
2:41various capacities, to assign me to the season saints.
2:47So I got to spend a significant amount of time
2:50with some people in the latter years and the latter days
2:53of their lives, and I never, never, not once.
2:55There's not a person that I spend time with that ever say,
2:58you know what?
2:58I wish I just could have got another overtime shift.
3:02It's never happened, never happened.
3:04You know, I wish I could have,
3:06I wish I could have just spent a little bit more time
3:08trading stocks and never what has happened most routinely
3:12were expressions and laments concerning family life.
3:19The reason why I often exhortation that I do
3:21on a daily basis on this program about our full time jobs
3:25is because my hope and my prayer
3:27is that this audience will consist of people
3:30will contribute to a reduction in the quantity of people
3:35who would say in the latter stage of their lives,
3:37I wish I would have done more in my family.
3:40We have got to understand the significance
3:42that the God places on family, man.
3:44When we consider the commission that God gave to his disciples
3:48to execute his commission to make disciples,
3:51we have an opportunity to do that,
3:53starting right in our own homes.
3:56So as you're making your transition,
3:57take full advantage of the breath that God has given you
4:00and the time that he's given you on his earth,
4:01on this side of eternity to be about his business
4:05starting right in our homes.
4:08And I'm not talking at you with this.
4:10I am talking with you because I endeavor to do the same thing
4:14in my family and my home as well.
4:15To the Word of God we go.
4:17Colossians chapter two,
4:19it's a portion of scripture we've talked about
4:21quite a bit on this program,
4:24but I wanna go back to it
4:26because when you see things like
4:29the coordinated plan strategic invasion
4:33into the city's church in Minnesota,
4:38you have to understand that this,
4:40and I'm gonna get into this in the second segment,
4:42but this was a specified coordinated planned faux test,
4:47promulgated to spur specific responses.
4:53Within the reality of the emotional fallout
4:57of witnessing that, I mean,
4:58the pastor was about to lead the church
5:01and celebrate the Lord's table.
5:02You know, that is a visceral phenomenon, but it shouldn't be lost on you that these people
5:11showed up with a professional camera crew and Don easy peasy limit you squeezy.
5:20You think that was a coincidence?
5:22He just happened to be in a stubble.
5:23Hey, what do you want to do?
5:24Hey, let's just show up.
5:25Don let me clearly knows nothing about the first amendment because you asked in the past
5:31and we'll do don't you know we have a first amendment?
5:33Um, Cole.
5:35You stupid.
5:36You show are.
5:42You show is the first amendment.
5:46They'll give you the right to trespass
5:47on private property chief.
5:51But the word of God, Colossians chapter two, verse eight,
5:54we've talked about this entire framework before.
5:59But today I want to remind you what it says here.
6:03See to it, remember that the Lord is speaking to the church
6:08through the Apostle Paul.
6:10When he writes this, see to it that no one takes you captive
6:15through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary
6:21principles of the world rather than according to Christ.
6:27The warning here was to the body of Christ to make sure that Christ's followers remain
6:36anchored to the truth of God's Word and resolve to obey the Lord no matter the circumstances.
6:47When people sin against you, it does not give you a license to sin against them.
6:55It is not sinful to protect yourselves and others from harm.
7:01That is not sinful.
7:03This is why we talked about this before.
7:05The commandment, the Sixth Commandment says, Thou shalt not murder.
7:08It doesn't say, Thou shalt not kill.
7:09What's the difference?
7:10Thou shalt not murder, the command is,
7:12you shall not take innocent human life.
7:16Innocent human life.
7:20But if one conducts himself in a manner
7:22to where they are attacking you,
7:25or attacking your children,
7:27or attacking your loved ones,
7:29or attacking someone more vulnerable,
7:31you would not be sending,
7:33in neutralizing that threat,
7:35and protecting yourself, your person,
7:38the people near you, the people with you,
7:39the loved ones, et cetera.
7:40That's not sinful, all right?
7:44One of the things that we need to come face to face with,
7:47and we've talked about Isaiah 59, for example,
7:50in this regard, lawlessness, lawlessness is not something
7:57you can keep in the corner, you know, like a pet pooch.
8:02Okay now, okay now, boo boo, I'm gonna let you out,
8:05and you get in the corner, stay.
8:08Lawlessness don't work like that, chief.
8:11Lawlessness is more like Hurricane Katrina flood waters.
8:15When them levees breach, that water goes everywhere, everywhere.
8:25It shouldn't be surprising that the whole scenario and the fallout of things surrounding
8:35George Floyd happened in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area.
8:39They were one of the first areas to want to defund the police.
8:47They were one of the lightning rods to cultivate an acceptable normalization of lawlessness.
8:54in our country. There have been efforts to make the American populace comfortable with
9:05infectives first. And this is always how it goes guys. You dehumanize people, then you attack them
9:14rhetorically using words to diminish their significance within the culture, and then you
9:21attacked them physically. Our culture has been seeking to normalize lawlessness and a disrespectful
9:28law enforcement. Now it is true, all people are made in the image of God, yes, but all
9:37people have a sin nature. So you have good and bad within any profession. A person's profession
9:42doesn't automatically sanitize their character, but they're also simultaneously there is a
9:50responsibility, especially for believers, to understand the reality of Romans 13, in which
9:59God refers to law enforcement in particular as his minister for justice, communicating what
10:06government should be and do in a right manner versus what has happened in the wrong manner.
10:11But what has happened in our society has been a cultivation of a normalization of lawlessness.
10:21We've seen that lawlessness even reflected in a lack of reverence for God, shootings in
10:30churches.
10:35And now we've seen just this past Sunday, a full-on theatrical performance put on, oh,
10:42yeah, they called it a protest, but that was a full test.
10:46That was a full test.
10:47And I'm going to get into this in the second segment.
10:49It was a full test meant to prop up their flailing efforts to come up with the latest
10:55civil rights movement.
11:02I was reading somewhere that said,
11:04immigration enforcement is white supremacy.
11:06Huh?
11:08Hmm.
11:09Immigration enforcement is white supremacy.
11:12But it just smacks of ignorance.
11:14It just smacks of ignorance.
11:18Do you realize how many people who live in our country
11:23who have migrated legally also want immigration enforcement?
11:31And you know, the consistent effort to try to,
11:35It's kind of like you went to white supremacy.
11:37What's more white supremacy than you trying to tell
11:39Spanish-speaking people how they supposed to say their language.
11:41You will say Latinx.
11:45That word doesn't exist in Spanish, man.
11:47No, but you need to say it
11:48because you're willing to be political, correct.
11:49Says who?
11:51Man, go sit down somewhere.
11:53Go sit down somewhere.
11:56But I'm presenting this Colossians to eight
12:00because my concern is that there will be good God-fearing
12:06people who are frustrated about the way things are unfolding in our country and they will
12:17allow their emotions to overwhelm their response, which I'll just tell you plainly, that is what
12:23the full testers want.
12:27The full testers want Bible believing, God-fearing people to allow their emotions to override
12:36their intelligence and to respond emotionally.
12:42Like, here's an example on a lawful front, right?
12:48I've read and seen and heard,
12:51well, let me go into other direction first,
12:52and I'll say this.
12:54How long have we been, have people like me
12:56on this program been calling for the repeal
12:59of things like the Face Act?
13:01How long have we been doing that?
13:04Now following this Minnesota thing,
13:05now you have good intentioned people
13:10who probably share my love for the Lord and His bride
13:13who would say that we need to use a face act to prosecute this case.
13:16Like what?
13:20And I know some people are like, well, well, sure, they did it.
13:23Guys, they did it should never be the marching order or the tone and the Raison Detra for your
13:34engagement.
13:35The reason for your engagement should never be, well, they did it.
13:37I mean, do you remember that back?
13:40I remember.
13:41Well, Mom, why'd you punch your brother?
13:43He hit me first.
13:44And what did your mom say?
13:45I didn't ask you what he did.
13:46I asked you what you did.
13:50Guys, we cannot be able to be jerked around by our emotions.
13:54Never forget God has given us emotions and they have a purpose,
13:57but God didn't give us our emotions so that they lead us.
14:01Emotions are horrible generals, but they're tremendous foot soldiers.
14:07My concern is that there's some who will allow this horrendous affront to God and His church
14:18and to the people of God to overwhelm their capacity to truly assess what's going on.
14:23and may unintentionally find themselves falling right into the trap that the full testers wanted
14:32all along before we go any further and before we get to the second segment just stop I think
14:37for a moment why did they have a professional camera crew with them how and why did they dig up
14:46easy peasy down limit you squeezy to show up on the scene and who else was involved oh that's right
14:53paid organizers.
14:56More when we get back from this break.
14:58A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
15:04Time reading and meditating on God's work is so valuable.
15:08It blesses you in ways that you and I don't fully comprehend.
15:12But remember this, when you're reading the Word of God,
15:15you're spending time with Jesus.
15:16You're spending time in the presence of Jesus.
15:19Jesus is touching you,
15:20ministering to you, giving you wisdom,
15:23insight and the knowledge of God.
15:25Let me say to every parent listening again,
15:28having your child to read the word out loud to you every day,
15:31I can't overemphasize how important that very important
15:34spiritual habit is in your home for you and your family as well.
15:38Remember when the child is reading the word of God out loud to you.
15:41They're spending time with Jesus.
15:44Jesus is touching their life.
15:46He's ministering to them.
15:47He's pouring grace, peace, and light into your child's heart and mind.
15:51Nothing will bless your child more than the powerful word of God.
15:57Shiting light into the darkness, this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
16:11Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here.
16:15I just want to remind you February 20th through the 22nd, we will be in North Louisiana at
16:23Simsboro Baptist Church for their family focus weekend and I've been announcing this
16:29It's going to be a wonderful time that we share just delving into the Lord's Word and really put in the focus on the family
16:36The way that I believe God would have us to do so. There is no charge for this event
16:41However, the church will provide food for attendees and so they've asked
16:46That all who are planning to come to this event to please go to their church's website to register and the registration
16:53and simply allows the church to prepare
16:55for the proper number of people,
16:57the appropriate number of people who will be coming.
16:58So to do so, you simply go to fbcsimsborough.org,
17:04that's FBC SIMSBOROG.org.
17:08Click on their events tab on the right-hand side,
17:11and then you will see the family focus weekend,
17:13and that is where you'll be able to register.
17:14I'd love to see you there.
17:16Thank you, sir.
17:17Jeff has put the link in the show notes and in the comments.
17:20We'd love to see you there.
17:21We're going to have an amazing time together.
17:24All right.
17:26I've been alluding to this already,
17:30but I'm going to go into a little bit more detail now
17:35because, you know, during the break Bobby meter reference
17:39to the low information voters,
17:41and that's a phrase that Rush Limbaugh coined,
17:44which unfortunately is an appropriate description
17:47for some people,
17:49But you had trained protesters and agitators who show up at a church with a professional
18:00camera crew and they dug up, dug up Don Lemon to show up and it's just laughable the things
18:15that Don Lemon says.
18:16And I'll get into his comments in a moment because he's exchanged with the pastor of the
18:20the church, it was laughable.
18:28The pastor Jonathan Parnell, the protestist came announcing the name of an elder, who's
18:33a lay elder in the church because he works for ICE.
18:39But they showed up in this fashion to provoke the type of response because the truth is
18:50their efforts to whip the nation into a frenzy, you know,
18:55trying to turn Renee Goode into their latest,
19:01right to their latest focal point.
19:06It's not working, you know, because people have these things
19:09called computers and they've seen video when they saw
19:13where the vehicles were positioned and all and,
19:16and realize, oh, it's no doubt a tragedy.
19:19Any loss of life is a tragedy.
19:21But if we're going to be candid about the scenario, it is a tragedy of Renee Goode's
19:27causing.
19:28That's just, it was an entirely unavoidable scenario.
19:34Her actions leading up to the final actions of her life, unfortunately, caused the scenario.
19:46So you have these protesters and it's unfortunate, but if you read their writings, like for example,
19:54Those were radicals, a pragmatic primer for realistic radicals written by Saul Alinsky.
19:59He explains these tactics.
20:01It's not like they're hidden anywhere.
20:04The tactics aren't playing sight.
20:06And I really believe that this was kind of a desperate effort to redefine a narrative
20:13around this entire scenario because they're literally calling it like Operation Ice Floyd
20:18or something like that.
20:20ice-fluid, they're trying to make a George Floyd remix out of Renee Good.
20:28But the purpose has nothing to do with Renee Good as an individual and has everything to
20:32do with their efforts to foment chaos and to use chaos as a circumstantial phenomenon
20:40that will cause American citizens to willingly seed their lawful authority in their rights
20:46and freedoms.
20:49That literally is the objective.
20:54And so what they're seeking to accomplish and you just read their writings, they want to provoke
21:00who they believe are their enemies into a predictable emotion led response and a rhetorical version
21:15of that two seconds ago, you were against the face act.
21:20Now you're saying we need to use the face act.
21:21There is sufficient legal basis to prosecute the criminals, and I want to be absolutely clear about this.
21:31The people who encroached upon private property interrupted a worship service demanded the course of the service to be changed.
21:44Those are criminal activities. There is no first amendment right to criminal activity.
21:50I mean, this is a crude analogy, but I can still get stuff and say, no, it is just a protest.
21:54I'm just protesting. What are you protesting? I'm protesting my lack of stuff. How are you doing so?
21:58By taking yours. It's just a protest. It's a foolish thing to assert and to say that you can
22:07shield yourself from criminal culpability by saying, we're just protesting. That's absurd.
22:14So you have this and I'm sure many of you have seen this video, but I'll play this one
22:18when Don Lemon finds himself, I guess, grilling the pastor of the church.
22:26It's a laughable phenomenon, but he does so nonetheless.
22:30Listen to it, watch clip number two, clip two, go.
22:32What do you think of it?
22:33I mean, this is unacceptable.
22:34It's shameful.
22:35It's shameful to interrupt a public gathering of Christians in worship.
22:42But there were folks who was, I have to take care of my flock.
22:47Listen, we live in a, there's a constitution in the First Amendment to freedom of speech and freedom to assemble and protest.
22:52We're here to worship, we're here to worship Jesus because that's the hope of these cities, that's the hope of the world is Jesus Christ.
22:59That's very respectful. Please don't push me though. We're here, we're here to worship Jesus. That's why we're here.
23:05That's why we're here. That's what we're about.
23:07What do you think Jesus would be understanding of?
23:09We're about love these folks. We're about spreading the love of Jesus.
23:13Did you try to talk to them?
23:15As the only one is willing to talk.
23:17Okay, I have to take care of my church, my family.
23:19So I asked this, you actually would also leave this bill.
23:22You don't want us to-
23:23In relationship with your worship.
23:24I'm always worse if I'm a Christian.
23:26We're here to worship.
23:27We're here to worship.
23:28We're here to worship.
23:29Okay, thank you very much.
23:31Nah, bro.
23:32Okay, so first of all, I'm gonna be respectful,
23:35but please don't push me.
23:36You barged into the church where this man is a shepherd.
23:39You barged into the church where this man is a shepherd,
23:41And you're going to demand that we're going to be respectful.
23:44Please don't push me.
23:44Um, call you stupid.
23:48You picked the right one.
23:51Okay.
23:52Legalities.
23:52First, you don't have a lawful right.
23:55The first amendment protects citizens and they write the protest against the
23:58government, the government.
24:02You, you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't get the right to encroach or
24:07trust pass upon private property and say that my trust pass is protected by the
24:11first amendment. It's called criminal trespass. It's literally called criminal trespass. Then,
24:27then he went on and said, did you try to talk to these people? Come on down. That was a go for
24:34them to talk. The whole purpose of the footage, the truth in the trick said have a reasonable
24:39discourse over whatever issues. And the pastor said it right. They don't want to talk. They didn't
24:44come there to talk. They didn't come there to talk. But I want you to see what's happening. So,
24:51So, the entire phenomenon was a trained, tactical phenomenon provoked not merely, and this is
25:02how you know, not for the people who are in the building, not for the people in the building,
25:07this was for the world's consumption, hence the presence of a professional film crew.
25:15They weren't there to converse with the locals.
25:20No, guys.
25:22They were using the locals and using the church as a stage to put their show on for the rest
25:28of the world.
25:33That's why they were there with a film crew.
25:36That's why they were there with even a moderator for the evening's events, Don Lemon.
25:43We have a Constitution.
25:44We have a First Amendment.
25:45Yes, Don, and it doesn't apply to a private gathering for the church.
25:47In fact, the First Amendment prohibits Congress from making any law to infringe upon our capacity
25:52and ability to do what we're doing right now.
25:54And the First Amendment does not protect your ability to illegally interrupt our worship
26:01service.
26:02So get out.
26:10The next thing I want you to see, that the tactic is employed for the world's consumption
26:16in an effort to cause Christians to voluntarily stop speaking. It's an effort to intimidate.
26:29It's an effort to intimidate and to delegitimize Christians from public discourse. Don't fall for
26:38in fact, not responding emotionally to this, respond with clarity and insight and wisdom.
26:56Remember when Jesus was passing by in Bartimaeus, the blind man was trying to get Jesus' attention
27:05and the people wanted to shut Bartimaeus up.
27:08And what did Bartimaeus do?
27:09He cried out all the more.
27:12I want to tell you very plainly, brothers and sisters, don't allow this to dissuade you,
27:15to intimidate you, to cause you to be unwilling to speak the truth of God's word to issues
27:20that are unfolding in our public discourse.
27:23Speak it even more.
27:26Speak it even more.
27:29proclaim the truth even more reasonably and with clarity and thoroughly articulate their
27:34perspectives.
27:37You go through this, you know, Don Lemon randomly pulled a guy up to say, to try to make a point
27:43that this is a, a grassroots protest and he turned to a man by the name of Jamal Lundy.
27:50Who is Jamal Lundy?
27:52Well, I'm glad you asked.
27:55Jamal Lundy just happens to be the Intergovernmental Affairs Coordinator for Hennepin County,
28:00attorney mark mary moriotti moriardi
28:04Well, yeah, well jamao
28:06old jamao lundi
28:10jamao lundi's job
28:12This old jamao bobbie he is right here. This old jamao jamao
28:16Lundy's job is to coordinate and into governmental affairs
28:21You know like if the federal government has to prosecute a matter in minnesota
28:26The hinepin county attorney's office would would confer with the with the department of justice guess who would be doing it
28:33Jamal Lundy. You know Jamal Lundy also just happens to also be married to a
28:46government worker. Can I make this stuff up? So this is just a grass roots
28:57I'm to a local Minnesota government worker. This is just a grass roots
29:03protest huh? Guys it was not a grass roots protest at all. It was a staged
29:13and planned and coordinated left wing theatrical performance.
29:21That is what it was.
29:24So what I started off with in Colossians Chapter 2, don't be taking captive.
29:33Don't be taking captive.
29:37Yes, Jamal Lundy is married to an elected official.
29:45I had an ami, had an ami, oh, and by the way, I left this out.
29:48And Jamal Lundy is running for this Minnesota State Senate.
29:52Now he's running for the Minnesota State Senate.
29:55You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.
29:57Bingo, bingo.
30:00Or Jamal is running for Senate District seat.
30:04I'm sorry, Senate seat 65.
30:09He's running for 65.
30:11There he is.
30:11Jamal Lundy running for Senate District 65.
30:17But it was a grassroots protest, you know, spontaneous.
30:21Guys, it was not any sort.
30:25Any sort.
30:27It was a paid, trained, organized effort to use the provocative stage of invading a church,
30:40which is egregious, and sinful, and criminal.
30:44And guess what?
30:47It has been investigated criminally.
30:54allow this to cause any of you to become or to lean toward vigilantism.
31:01Now, don't think I'm saying something or not. I'm not saying.
31:04And this day and age, churches need to consider security. It's sad, but it's a reality. When I'm
31:11traveling to different places, we have to have conversations about security. That is the reality
31:16of the world that we're living in. So don't misconstrue what I'm saying at all. But also,
31:20So don't allow the Marxist organizers to provoke you into a predictable response.
31:34They predict that this will cause some Christians who attend worship services, who are also
31:45Second Amendment law abiding citizens to move over towards vigilantism simply out of the
31:54frustration of the moment.
31:55What I'm saying is don't allow that to happen.
31:59your churches, protect your families, but don't allow these people to move you to go beyond
32:10what the scripture says.
32:12The thing that fortifies us as the bride of Christ from being captive is not the flesh,
32:19is not letting emotion lead.
32:21It is by being anchored to the word of God.
32:24Now we're going to do our diligence, develop our security teams at our churches to keep people
32:28from trespassing.
32:29We're going to have staff that understands the Constitution.
32:32He understands what Don Lemon juice squeeze.
32:35He talks about a first amendment.
32:36We'll be able to rightly say yes,
32:37and that applies to the government,
32:38not to our private property.
32:45And we hold our ground in truth,
32:50truth of God's word, and the truth of being lawful citizens.
32:54Lawlessness won't provoke lawlessness in us.
33:01If we lose this cultural war,
33:03we're gonna have a hedonistic humanistic society.

33:10and how he went head to head with Hollywood,

35:00The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Bitted Common Terrets
35:07are available at afr.net.
35:10back to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
35:15Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner,
35:16Abraham Hamilton III here.
35:18Here's another goal of these photo testers.
35:24Very similar to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey or Fry.
35:30How do you pronounce his name?
35:31Is it Fry?
35:32Fry Jacob Fry and Tim Waltz.
35:40I wanna be vice president, no, I wanna be president,
35:42no, I wanna be governor again, no,
35:44I'm not running for government anymore.
35:50I'm going to told you then that a lot of their fermentation, we have trained national guardsmen
35:57ready to, you know, I was like, y'all trying to take the heat off yourselves.
36:01Well, to that point, subpoenas have just been issued to Jacob Frey,
36:09Intim Waltz, and other Minnesota government elected officials for their criminal activity
36:19in the state. Listen to and watch clip number three, clip three, go.
36:23That's right. Thomas Slough of subpoenas now coming from the Department of Justice
36:26to officials in Minnesota, state and local as well from the Minnesota Attorney General
36:31to the office of the governor there, the Minneapolis mayor Jacob Fry, who has been
36:35very public, very front and center in this. We can pull it up on screen. You can see
36:39the list of subpoenas there according to a document reviewed by NBC News and a person
36:43familiar with the investigation. The subpoenas according to the DOJ are that
36:47related to this idea that Minnesota public officials according to the Trump administration
36:50conspired to impede law enforcement during immigration operations there.
36:55We already have a response now from the office of the Minneapolis mayor from mayor Fry, who
37:00suggesting that the federal government is weaponizing its power to try to intimidate local leaders
37:06for doing their jobs, going on to say that every American should be concerned.
37:09He says we shouldn't have to live in a country where people fear that federal law enforcement
37:13will be used to play politics or crack down on local voices they disagree with
37:18is that what it is
37:20friday
37:20french fry
37:22yeah yeah yeah
37:24excellent observation sir so by the states what for doing their jobs
37:28uh... no sir you see the federal government in order to sustain any criminal charges
37:34they have to prove criminality
37:36and if you are doing your jobs there is nothing in your job description it says
37:40commit crimes
37:44I might have been born at night, but it wasn't last night, French fry.
37:47French fry statement says, we're the department of justice is attempting to intimidate us for
37:55doing our jobs.
37:56That's what it is, bro.
38:02So how long have you been in office and how many federal subpoenas have you received since
38:07you've been in office?
38:08Huh?
38:09Oh, none until now, you say.
38:12Oh, and this is what I'm saying.
38:16Now, on the other hand, I've been saying this, right?
38:19And one of the commenters made the true observation, you know, even if it's been a whole lot of
38:23investigations, we don't see any consequences.
38:27I'm with you.
38:28That is a point.
38:29That is a salient point.
38:31That's why you don't see it.
38:32Hear me on this show every day going through every stitch of evidence that has been publicly
38:37released, for example, uh, concerning Barack Obama's efforts to undermine President Trump's
38:41election in 2016, you know, she doesn't ever be president.
38:46these things over and over again. I just wake me up when somebody is going to jail. I've said that,
38:52and I agree. But at the exact same time, we do not have the lawful authority to become vigilantes.
39:00Vigilantism is not just, is not, Anken the truth. Now, somebody come to attack, you know,
39:09as I've said, churches should and must in this day and age have security teams,
39:13You know, and be prepared to neutralize threats because these things are happening in our day
39:20and age.
39:21So don't miss sure what I'm saying.
39:25You know, so I get the point that's being made when it's said that investigation, investigation,
39:30investigation and no consequences.
39:33I'm sick of that as well.
39:34But being sick of it doesn't put me in a position to say, well, then I guess we'll do
39:42what?
39:43Guess we'll do what?
39:44Take it into our own hands?
39:48I'll never get out.
39:49I'll tell this story.
39:52I never told this.
39:53I've never told this story publicly.
39:53I won't go into details because this is a real case.
39:56One of my final criminal law trials was a homicide case.
40:03And man, I can go into facts.
40:04I remember this case just like it was yesterday,
40:05but the bottom line,
40:07there was a guy who really had a little bit
40:08of a little man syndrome.
40:10He, the murderer was an abuser
40:20and he lived in an apartment complex.
40:22and the neighbor across the hall from the abuser heard the little man abusing his girlfriend
40:29at the time.
40:31And basically the neighbor checked him.
40:33So man, look, y'all keep it down.
40:35I got to go to work.
40:37Keep it down.
40:38The abuser got into another spat with his girlfriend on a later date.
40:44And the girlfriend said something that sent the abuser off said, well, you want to abuse
40:48me, but you didn't have anything to say when that man checked you the other day.
40:52Well, that sent him off.
40:54He takes his gun, goes, and then he shoots and kills the neighbor.
40:59All right.
41:00This is a real story.
41:04This really happened.
41:06And I remember, because I was a prosecutor, signed a prosecute, the Napoleon Complex dude
41:13who was the murderer, and by God's grace, you know, the Lord's will was done.
41:19But I remember in talking to the family members, the family members of the victim of the
41:23the homicide were very, very upset, very, very upset. And the victim of the homicide had a brother,
41:30and the brother was very, very upset. And I remember I looked at the brother and said, listen,
41:37I take my cases seriously. I believe God put me in his position to secure justice.
41:42And by God's grace, we're going to prosecute this case. All right. I said, however, you,
41:48and I turned to the brother and I looked at him and I pointed at him and said, you,
41:50don't try to take vengeance into your own hands.
41:55Because if you take vengeance into your own hands,
41:59you are going to put me in a position where I would have to prosecute you,
42:02just like I had to prosecute the dude who killed your brother.
42:06Don't do it.
42:07You know, talk to him through the evidence.
42:10I say, we found him. He was arrested.
42:12We got this evidence that he is going to be held accountable.
42:16But that does not put justify you taking this into your own hands.
42:20And I said, and rest assured, though I am empathetic
42:26with you and your family, I grieve the senseless murder
42:30of your brother.
42:32If you take vengeance into your hands
42:35and you become a murderer, you will be prosecuted too.
42:37I told him that.
42:42And I'm saying that in a similar sense.
42:49Don't allow these full testers who's showing up
42:53because their operation ice-floid, guys,
42:56That's literally what they're calling it.
42:58In these regressive circles, these paid protesters,
43:01they're calling these faux tests,
43:03operation, ice floyd.
43:07All right.
43:09They want to gin up emotion societally
43:15and hope of provoking someone to become a vigilante.
43:21Don't fall for it.
43:23Don't fall for it.
43:25Protect your homes, protect yourselves,
43:27protect your churches, have your security teams,
43:29all of that.
43:30but don't allow this to cause you to become a vigilante,
43:37because as Christ follows, we don't return evil for evil.
43:40You understand what I'm saying?
43:42Don't allow them to have that much control over you.
43:49Much of what's happening is an attempt to deflect,
43:53to reshape narratives using these Marxist tactics
43:59to engender emotional sentiment,
44:01to take the heat away from a Tim Walson French fry
44:06is squirming because the white hot light of scrutiny has turned their way concerning criminal
44:11violations. You have this happening at the exact same time. Don't forget that, that the
44:18Samalian financial scandal, billking the American taxpayer payer out of billions of dollars is
44:25happening on these dudes watch. You don't think they sent out the whistle to their protesting
44:32friends and hey, we got to get the heat off of this. You know, we have to try to delegitimize
44:36is that we need to try to like,
44:37conflate all of these issues.
44:39And to make all these issues seem like it's just one big issue,
44:43and it really is just orange man bad.
44:45That's what we really need to try to do.
44:50Because the heat is on there.
44:52The heat is on there.
44:53Now I agree.
44:56I'm sick of investigation and investigation,
44:59investigation, investigation, and investigation,
45:01and no consequences.
45:04Not because I just want this pound of flesh.
45:07No, because what happens when lawlessness abounds,
45:12when I say lawlessness, don't just think
45:14about the protesters.
45:15Also think about the places that are supposed
45:18to provide justice, but justice never coming.
45:21Two-tier justice systems.
45:23Depending on what your political intonations are,
45:25then you get prosecuted.
45:26But if you happen to be connected,
45:27and you happen to have money,
45:28and you happen to have these things,
45:30you don't get the ultimate goal of all of that activity,
45:33it's to cause the populace to lose complete confidence
45:36trust and faith in these systems. And what I'm saying is don't have confidence, trust
45:41and faith in the systems, place your confidence, trust and faith in the truth of God's Word
45:44is what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Now with all of the chicanery and the foolishness
45:52that's going on, man, we were provided with some heartening news. So JD Vance and his wife,
46:12who's advanced have announced that they are expecting their fourth baby, a baby boy, who
46:20should vances pregnant and they expect their fourth baby to be born in July, in July. Yeah,
46:30be born in July of this year, which you want to talk about a pro-family administration.
46:35When was the last time we've heard of a president or vice president adding a new member to their
46:42their family while they're in office.
46:45I mean, that is something that is one great for their family.
46:50The scripture tells us that children are a blessing from the Lord.
46:53So this is another little blessing coming to their family.
46:56It's also a blessing for our nation, our nation,
47:01to see tangible, demonstrable evidence of what it looks like
47:09for families to grow.
47:12And then it's also a blessing for the world.
47:16It gives us a front and center opportunity looking
47:19at one of the most visible features of our federal apparatus to cause us all to stop
47:30and think about what are we doing this for?
47:34That's right, Caroline Levitt is expecting a baby as well, the press secretary.
47:38That's right.
47:40We should all seek, you know, as the founders articulated in the preamble to our constitution
47:46in order to form a more perfect union,
47:49founders anticipated each generation of Americans
47:53to strive toward the betterment of our country.
47:57It gives us an opportunity to refocus
48:01on what should be a national priority.
48:04We should seek to make our country better
48:08for the next generation of Americans
48:09that are coming behind us,
48:11and the ones coming behind them.
48:13And it gives us a great opportunity to highlight that reality.
48:22And then, of course, you know, you have despicable, you know, like under the bridge, troll dwellers
48:28are trying to say things about, you know, so seeds of division between JD Vance and his wife.
48:34And apparently they came to be that divided. I mean, I don't think you can make babies divide it.
48:41Well, that's what JD Vance said.
48:48I didn't say that.
48:49So that's a bit of good news and congratulations to the Vice President and his wife.
48:57And man, pray for our country.
49:00You know, the inescapable reality is that spiritual warfare is real, whether you want it to be
49:07or not.
49:08But God has showed us in his word that the weapons of our warfare, they're not carnal,
49:13divinely powerful to the destruction of strong holds.
49:20The best way for us to advance forward is by taking heed to God's word and engaging from
49:27the anchor, the strong anchor that is a revelation of God through His word.
49:33By God's grace we'll be back tomorrow.
49:34You all have a great evening.
