  1. 0:01Darkness 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. 0:15Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
  6. 0:19And the philosophies of this world.
  7. 0:21God has called you and me to be His ambassador.
  8. 0:24Even in this dark moment.
  9. 0:27Let's not miss our moment.
  10. 0:29and now the Hamilton Corner.
  11. 0:33Good evening, everyone.
  12. 0:34Welcome to the Hamilton Corner,
  13. 0:36Corner Abraham Hamilton III is my name.
  14. 0:40Grateful to be with you again.
  15. 0:41Thank you to each and every one of you
  16. 0:43for tuning into the program,
  17. 0:44wherever you are,
  18. 0:45however you tune into the show,
  19. 0:47podcast listeners, live radio listeners,
  20. 0:51television show watchers, live video streamers.
  21. 0:56However you're watching the show
  22. 0:57or listening to the show,
  23. 0:58So we are grateful that you have done so.
  24. 1:02We understand that there are a lot of different places where you could spend this time.
  25. 1:07And so I am grateful and our team here is grateful that you've decided to hang out here with us.
  26. 1:12I am the host of the program, Abraham Hamilton III.
  27. 1:15As I mentioned, joined by the corner contingent right across from me, my man, 100 grand Mr.
  28. 1:21Bobby, Rosa, who is still grateful that he has escaped to migrate into the United States
  29. 1:29of America, keeping his passport handy.
  30. 1:32Because you venture out to certain places, northern and eastern, you end up in a foreign
  31. 1:40terrain, you know?
  32. 1:41I mean that literally and figuratively to a degree.
  33. 1:45So, one of the things, people don't know this, but I go to Washington DC a couple times
  34. 1:50a year at a minimum. And I like to take walks and just listen. It's interesting the many languages
  35. 2:01you'll hear walking around the United States of America, the capital that is of the United
  36. 2:08States of America. It's just interesting thing. I am grateful for the diversity we have in
  37. 2:14country in the melting pot, but, but I am a citizen of the United States of America. Mm hmm.
  38. 2:26That there is a common language that is spoken in the United States of America. Language is a
  39. 2:36vital component of culture. Uh huh. Yeah. Yeah. I'll just move on. I won't spend too much time
  40. 2:48I'm not even playing the linger there.
  41. 2:50At this very moment, many of you,
  42. 2:51if not most of you are making your transition
  43. 2:53from your part-time jobs where you generate an income
  44. 2:57to your full-time jobs where you cultivate an outcome.
  45. 2:59And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with
  46. 3:03intentionality.
  47. 3:07I talk about the understanding of the family,
  48. 3:10that what goes on in your house is more important
  49. 3:12what goes on in the White House guys
  50. 3:14because that is true.
  51. 3:15And I'm going to say this more so going forward.
  52. 3:20I've been saying in the past about the necessity
  53. 3:23for us to live locally.
  54. 3:25We need to truly view ourselves as constructing
  55. 3:29or reconstructing our lives in the direction
  56. 3:35that God has commanded on a daily basis.
  57. 3:37Each day that you transition to your full-time job
  58. 3:40and you invest yourself in your home,
  59. 3:42you pour yourself into your children,
  60. 3:44those of us who have young children still in our homes and in rearing them in the nurture
  61. 3:48and admonition of the Lord.
  62. 3:50Every day you break open the Word of God, the bread of life with your family.
  63. 3:54You are building, you are building each day.
  64. 3:58Each day you break open the Lord's Word and your personal devotion at all times.
  65. 4:01You are building and we have to see it in that fashion because much of what has been lost in
  66. 4:08our country has been lost via forfeit as opposed to it being strong armed away from us. And we
  67. 4:19need to understand that we have the capacity to turn things in the direction where it needs
  68. 4:25to go, where things need to go, and where things need to be, but it has to start with us. It
  69. 4:30has to start with us at home. We can't continue to complain about what's going on, you know,
  70. 4:36over there and oh boy.
  71. 4:39Pam Bondy's performance and the hearing on Capitol Hill.
  72. 4:45I plan to get to that yesterday.
  73. 4:46I ran out of time, but I'm gonna get to it today.
  74. 4:50The one bleak spot in President Trump's cabinet appointments.
  75. 4:54Well, one of the bleak spots.
  76. 4:59Before we get to all of that, let us turn to the word of God.
  77. 5:05Proverbs chapter eight is where we're gonna go today.
  78. 5:07Proverbs 8 verse 13 is what we're going to go. Proverbs 8 verse 13. We must resist popular
  79. 5:19efforts to make a caricature of who God is. You know, we have people who try to depict God as,
  80. 5:26they want him to be saying things like, God is love, which he is, but he love is not defined
  81. 5:31based on rom-coms or your latest rainbow jihod drag queen story hour, you know,
  82. 5:40that's not the definition of love, you know, love requires truth, grace requires
  83. 5:48truth, all right. In Proverbs chapter 8 we learn something that is tremendous, that
  84. 5:56the Lord shares with us a bit of clarity concerning the evidential, let me say, the
  85. 6:05the demonstrable evidence in the life of one who fears the Lord.
  86. 6:11The scripture gives us this.
  87. 6:13And I would submit to you that we need a lot more of this evidence
  88. 6:19that flows from a lot more of a reverential fear for the Lord.
  89. 6:22Proverbs chapter eight verse 13,
  90. 6:24look at what the Lord's word says there.
  91. 6:27The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil, pride and arrogance,
  92. 6:32Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech.
  93. 6:40I hate.
  94. 6:41I read that again.
  95. 6:43The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil, pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted
  96. 6:51speech I hate.
  97. 6:54Now before we move too quickly through this, I want to first say that this demonstrable
  98. 7:01evidence of the fear of the Lord is first made demonstrable within ourselves.
  99. 7:05All right?
  100. 7:08One of the things that happens when one is born again and the Spirit of God indwells the
  101. 7:17new believer is that that new believer is confronted with the plague of his or her own
  102. 7:25heart first.
  103. 7:30This is something that happens.
  104. 7:32There is a brokenness and a lament over one's own sin.
  105. 7:38There is a brokenness over how one conducted their lives previously.
  106. 7:45Often you hear statements when you're in a discipleship relationship and this takes place
  107. 7:48with a new believer.
  108. 7:49And I can't believe I used to think that way.
  109. 7:52I can't believe I used to live that way.
  110. 7:54I can't believe those are the places I used to like to go.
  111. 7:57I can't believe that those are the things I used to like to wear.
  112. 8:00That is where I used to be.
  113. 8:01That is why I used to, that is one of the real things that transpires in the life of a believer.
  114. 8:10And then it grows over, it grows from looking historically to looking prospectively.
  115. 8:20When the fear of the Lord, reverence for God calls this the new believer to despise pride
  116. 8:25in oneself.
  117. 8:30When the believer begins to learn that the Lord said in his word that he opposes the proud,
  118. 8:37The believer who fears the Lord also grieves at pride, evidence of pride in their own lives.
  119. 8:46Now, I'm talking about a believer.
  120. 8:48I'm not talking about a churchian because we have to be very intentional and specific about
  121. 8:55not conflating churchianity with Christianity, Christianity, following the way of Messiah
  122. 9:00that we cannot conflate to.
  123. 9:04We have some places where they try to sanitize pride and covetousness and take the thing that
  124. 9:11God says it's odious and sinful, and then they slap a new banner on it, and they try to make it now
  125. 9:18acceptable. Guys, I'm going to just tell you plainly, covetousness is never acceptable to God.
  126. 9:27In covetousness drives at the heart, the attitude of the heart,
  127. 9:35it's never acceptable to God. The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil, pride, and arrogance.
  128. 9:48Now you might think those terms, pride and arrogance aren't they synonymous terms, they're not?
  129. 9:52because again, similar to Cabbages-ness pride deals with the internal heart
  130. 9:58condition, but arrogance confronts the display of pride in one's life. Arrogance.
  131. 10:06Arrogance often manifests itself in condescending tones, in condescension,
  132. 10:13but fear of the Lord causes one to hate arrogance. And you would see, it seems,
  133. 10:20pretty obvious that the despising and the hatred of arrogance will flow readily from
  134. 10:25a heart condition that despises pride.
  135. 10:31The fear of the Lord hates the way of evil.
  136. 10:35Now I'm particularly presenting this today because in our society it's a consistent refrain.
  137. 10:41God is love, God is love.
  138. 10:43Yes, God is love.
  139. 10:45But the loving God who saves mankind from our sins, if we accept the free gift of salvation,
  140. 10:51also the same God that despises evil and works within us a hatred of evil.
  141. 11:01This is where we have to think thoroughly about conversations that I'm not trying to impose
  142. 11:16my morality on somebody else.
  143. 11:19But the scripture teaches that a lifestyle pursued and sin without repentance produces eternal
  144. 11:24damnation.
  145. 11:26My love for my neighbor compels me to share that with my neighbor.
  146. 11:32My love for my neighbor compels me to communicate that.
  147. 11:37The Lord reveals to us in His holy word Galatians chapter 3.
  148. 11:39The law in and of itself, biblically speaking, concerning Israel, was not salvific, but the
  149. 11:45Apostle Paul wrote to the Galatians, but that the law was a schoolmaster.
  150. 11:50It was a tutor.
  151. 11:52It was a trainer of the conscience to prepare the trained to be able to receive the grace
  152. 12:04of God and salvation.
  153. 12:06Guys, similarly, the legal status in our country is a trainer of the conscience.
  154. 12:13It's a speed bump, if you will, that interrupts the sinner from the auto bond pursuit of the
  155. 12:25way of rebellion that will result in eternal damnation without repentance.
  156. 12:29And it's a tool that God uses.
  157. 12:37It is not in and of itself, salvific, but it's a schoolmaster.
  158. 12:43a trainer when we come to know the true and living God.
  159. 12:50And he indwells us by his spirit, having regenerated us to make us alive in him.
  160. 12:56Guys, that reverence has tangible fruit.
  161. 13:03Things we used to be okay with, we're not okay with anymore.
  162. 13:07The fear of the Lord is the hatred of evil.
  163. 13:15The fear of the Lord is to hate pride, arrogance, and the way of evil.
  164. 13:19And this is a big one.
  165. 13:23The fear of the Lord is the hatred of perverted speech, twisted speech, speech that misrepresents
  166. 13:37or conceals the truth, lies that we confront that are lies of co-mission, affirmative misrepresentations,
  167. 13:48lies of omission where salient cogent principles are glossed over or excluded from popular and
  168. 13:56public discourse.
  169. 14:03for God has tangible evidence in the life of a believer. And as I said before you ever get to
  170. 14:12assessing anything external, it's applied internally. We hate these things if they are present within us
  171. 14:31and we likewise confront it externally as we are transformed. We become advocates, agents of the
  172. 14:40the very transformation that we enjoy.
  173. 14:46Not surprisingly, the fear of the Lord is also
  174. 14:52the beginning of knowledge and wisdom.
  175. 15:01A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
  176. 15:04What should a pro-life church look like?
  177. 15:07It's a church that will prayerfully consider encouraging
  178. 15:09members to volunteer at local pregnancy centers
  179. 15:13and to volunteer for other pro-life ministries.
  180. 15:16It's a church that would prayerfully consider supporting
  181. 15:19a baby closed closet with diapers, clothes, wipes,
  182. 15:22and other needed items.
  183. 15:25It's a church that will prayerfully consider
  184. 15:27becoming a sanctuary church.
  185. 15:29They will help moms who find themselves
  186. 15:31expecting a baby at a difficult time.
  187. 15:33They will come alongside a mother who feels all alone
  188. 15:36and walk with her through her time of pregnancy and beyond.
  189. 15:39It's a church that will learn
  190. 15:41about important pro-life outreach ministers
  191. 15:43that are doing vital work to in legalized abortion
  192. 15:46in different ways.
  193. 15:48Am I really seeking to honor the Lord
  194. 15:50in doing what he would have me to do?
  195. 15:52as an individual disciple of Christ
  196. 15:54to help stand for life.
  197. 16:04Shining light into the darkness,
  198. 16:07this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
  199. 16:11Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham,
  200. 16:13Hamilton the third here.
  201. 16:17Next weekend, not this weekend, but next weekend,

  205. 16:29have the page and we can put up on the screen.
  206. 16:31And Jay Mack is going to put the page on the screen that when you go to FBCCimsborrow.org,
  207. 16:39which is the site where you would need to go in order to register, the registration is to
  208. 16:45allow the church to know to anticipate how many attendees to expect.
  209. 16:51There's no charge at all for the event because the church wants to feed the attendees to the
  210. 16:56family focus weekend.
  211. 16:57So by registering, you let them know you are coming.
  212. 16:59And when you go to that page, go to fbcimsborrow.org,
  213. 17:06click on the events tab.
  214. 17:08On the events tab, you'll see the family focus weekend
  215. 17:11right there.
  216. 17:12And as you scroll down, you'll see an itinerary
  217. 17:15for the weekend and it, I'm telling you, man,
  218. 17:18we're gonna have a tremendous time in the Lord together
  219. 17:21that I pray at the time of encouragement
  220. 17:23and refreshing, but in addition to those things,
  221. 17:25time of equipping that we will be fortified to execute what the Lord has
  222. 17:32called us to in this day and time. It will be next weekend February 20th through the
  223. 17:3622nd at Simsboro Baptist Church and I haven't told you guys this yet but next
  224. 17:43week we will be broadcasting live from the Opryland in Tennessee because we will
  225. 17:50be attending the National Religious Broadcasters Convention. I am a member of
  226. 17:54the NRB board of directors, so we'll be broadcasting there at its annual convention.
  227. 18:01It's going to be an amazing time there. Next week you never know who you see on the show,
  228. 18:05who will be joining me there next week. So we're looking forward to that as well,
  229. 18:08and we'll be leaving from NRB head and head to North Louisiana to join the Saints of God and
  230. 18:15Simsboro. So we're looking forward to that. It's going to be an amazing time.
  231. 18:18Stay tuned, we're putting some things together so you can keep up with where we are all around
  232. 18:25the country will be traveling, doing some remote broadcast, it's going to be an amazing
  233. 18:29time.
  234. 18:30Alright, foolishness not necessarily to sure but this hearing, I hope to get to this yesterday
  235. 18:37when I ran out of time.
  236. 18:41So yesterday Pam Bondi appeared before the US House Judiciary Committee and she was called
  237. 18:51before the committee to discuss her handling of the release of the Epstein
  238. 18:55files. Okay. Generally speaking, President Trump's cabinet has been amazingly
  239. 19:02impressive. It is been, it has been, you know, eye opening to me on a host of
  240. 19:11fronts, one of them being Marco Rubio. What happened to this cat? You know, so
  241. 19:15he might he he's a different guy to guide these days, you know, and he's been
  242. 19:22doing performing exceedingly well in his role. But it hasn't all been good. You know, I,
  243. 19:30the shakeup at the FBI, which led to Dan Bajino leaving, I think that's something that's concerning.
  244. 19:41And the low light in my view in the cabinet has been pam-bonged. I mean,
  245. 19:49we'll talk about the handling of the Epstein files. That's one thing, but
  246. 19:52But is she delivered anything noteworthy from the Department of Justice?
  247. 20:02And I'll just say this now.
  248. 20:04I don't anticipate that she will continue on as Attorney General beyond the midterms.
  249. 20:13I actually think an adjustment will be made.
  250. 20:17Probably it will be made after the midterm elections if I had to put a fine point of expectation
  251. 20:24on it. But she's been horrible. She's been horrible. And you talk about the unforced
  252. 20:33errors. I don't believe the Epstein issue would be as big as it is if it weren't for
  253. 20:40her. When you think about the top things people were expecting when President Trump was elected
  254. 20:46in 2024, you would probably see the Epstein issue wasn't even top 10 probably for many
  255. 20:53voters. Certainly people care about it and do care about it and I care about it and I think that care
  256. 20:59was amplified
  257. 21:01by
  258. 21:02Pambond in particular. I mean when you when you see her
  259. 21:08Go on national television, you know, and I'm not trying to just
  260. 21:11To bag on her, but she she this these are unforced errors. Nobody told you to go on Fox News and say oh, yes
  261. 21:19The Epstein files, listen, I've read them.
  262. 21:22That's the first thing you first thing she said.
  263. 21:24Remember that, Bobby?
  264. 21:25I've read them.
  265. 21:26I have them on my desk.
  266. 21:27They're sitting on my desk right now.
  267. 21:29That's what she said.
  268. 21:31That's what she said.
  269. 21:32Nobody may or say that.
  270. 21:34I have them on my desk right now.
  271. 21:38We're going to release them.
  272. 21:40Then don't forget she called for a media event and invited certain, you know, conservative media
  273. 21:48conservative media personalities and social media influences and all, all to come to DC
  274. 21:54to receive their own white binders, which purported to have the quote unquote, files in them, only
  275. 22:03for the people to realize, man, there's nothing in here that, there's nothing in here.
  276. 22:10Then after that debacle, I mean, I'm telling you, she just digging herself deeper and deeper
  277. 22:15and deeper.
  278. 22:17she said, oh, the issue is, and I remember all of this so much because I remember I posted
  279. 22:24on social media about it.
  280. 22:25When she was on TV saying that I got the files, they're on my desk, I'm going to release them,
  281. 22:28I posted on social media about it.
  282. 22:30I talked about it on this show, you know?
  283. 22:36So, after the television appearance that I got the files, they're on my desk, I'm about
  284. 22:41to release them, calling the media event in Washington DC for media personalities to come
  285. 22:47to DC to receive their binder the individual copies of the newly released information.
  286. 22:52She then said, oh, you know what? No, I don't have any newly released information. It's because
  287. 22:59there are FBI officials in New York. They are prohibiting me from getting to the information.
  288. 23:04Remember that? And then after all of that, she then comes and says, oh, you know what? There
  289. 23:10There are no files.
  290. 23:11Like, come on, man.
  291. 23:14Come on.
  292. 23:15What?
  293. 23:16There are no files.
  294. 23:19Then after that, oh, you know what?
  295. 23:21Yeah, there are files here, a million documents.
  296. 23:24Boom, a million documents.
  297. 23:26And then shortly after that, another three and a half million documents.
  298. 23:33At a minimum, she was lying at several of those stops.
  299. 23:41And you know, I want to be gracious to people.
  300. 23:43But I think we have to be equal weights and measure applicants.
  301. 23:46You know, what was, uh, before Loretta Lynch, what was my man's name?
  302. 23:55Eric Holder.
  303. 23:56If Eric Holder had done these things, how would people respond to it?
  304. 24:03You know, equal weights and measures.
  305. 24:05So a lot of the problems concerning this honestly are, is Pam Bondi's fault.
  306. 24:11If she never would have made that television appearance saying I've read the files and
  307. 24:15they are on my desk.
  308. 24:16I mean, at a minimum, that has, at a minimum, that's a lot.
  309. 24:23Now there are people who tried to opine, it's what they're happening, I think some of this
  310. 24:27might be true, that she had the wind beneath her wings, so to speak, of the new Trump administration,
  311. 24:34this cabinet is being compiled, she's a confirmed attorney general, she performed well in the
  312. 24:39hearing, the confirmation hearing, and kind of trying to elbow her way into some camera
  313. 24:44time.
  314. 24:45So how do you get camera time?
  315. 24:46You make these claims that would get attention.
  316. 24:51And then the process is so doing.
  317. 24:55And it's just made it, it's created the spectacle
  318. 25:00that it is now.
  319. 25:03And so she then appears in this hearing yesterday
  320. 25:07and honestly it was an embarrassing performance.
  321. 25:11It's one of those things like,
  322. 25:15I remember being young, my grandmother saying,
  323. 25:16Don't try to show out now.
  324. 25:19Don't try to show out now.
  325. 25:21You being held to account.
  326. 25:24These are the things that are happening.
  327. 25:27People sometimes try to show out
  328. 25:29because they don't have a substance of rebuttal
  329. 25:31was being offered.
  330. 25:32And so I'll give you a little snippet.
  331. 25:35She was very defensive in the hearing.
  332. 25:36And now I get the reality that when you're talking to people
  333. 25:40and they are trying to embarrass you
  334. 25:43or to try to do things to you,
  335. 25:45I just have this radical idea of maybe I'm wrong about this,
  336. 25:48But the whole deal about being a public servant
  337. 25:52is that you're there to serve the public, you know?
  338. 25:55Not to advance yourself, but that's,
  339. 25:58I guess that's been long done away with.
  340. 26:00Her performance contrary to how she did
  341. 26:05during the confirmation hearing,
  342. 26:06I thought she performed relatively well
  343. 26:08during the confirmation hearing,
  344. 26:09the hearing yesterday, I honestly,
  345. 26:11I think was embarrassing for her, you know?
  346. 26:17Let me give you a snap, snippet of what I'm talking about.
  347. 26:20All right, so there was a point in the hearing
  348. 26:22to where Jerry Nadler was questioning her
  349. 26:26and then representative Nadler was questioning her
  350. 26:30and then representative Jamie Raskin took issue
  351. 26:33with how she was answering
  352. 26:36and it led to Pam Bondy calling Jamie Raskin
  353. 26:40a loser lawyer.
  354. 26:43Listen to and watch clip number one, clip one, go.
  355. 26:48So we will do that but when you ask a question,
  356. 26:50the question was you may not like the answer
  357. 26:53But she gets to A.
  358. 26:54The question was how many of EBSC?
  359. 26:55They don't like the answer, Chairman.
  360. 26:58It's okay in my time.
  361. 26:59Because it's honest.
  362. 27:00So he asked a four minute question.
  363. 27:02And I am going to ask you, Mr. Chairman, answer.
  364. 27:07You can let her filibuster all day long, but not on our watch.
  365. 27:10Not on our time.
  366. 27:11No way.
  367. 27:12I told you about that, Attorney General, before you started.
  368. 27:15You don't tell me.
  369. 27:16No, I didn't tell you.
  370. 27:17Because we saw what you did in the Senate.
  371. 27:19Your law, you're not even a lawyer.
  372. 27:20Maybe we'll be in order.
  373. 27:21You don't tell me anything. You washed up loser lawyer. You're not even a lawyer.
  374. 27:28No, it is about asking what's the repercussions for this? Nothing. There are no repercussions.
  375. 27:38You know, and I just shared that clip for you because they shared that clip with you because
  376. 27:44it kind of demonstrated her pam-bondie's position throughout the hearing, you know. A lot of
  377. 27:51the fire that she's getting on this point is self-inflicted in many ways. And honestly,
  378. 28:00I believe President Trump just needs to move on from her. I appreciate that he doesn't want
  379. 28:10to kind of throw her under the bus and these kinds of things, but I think he needs to move
  380. 28:18on from her because she is, she is one of the lowlights in this administration and she's
  381. 28:28not going to be able to live down what we all saw play out publicly.
  382. 28:32You know, you can't go from saying, I read them there on my desk to they don't exist to
  383. 28:38hear millions of pages of them that did not exist that were on my desk that are, you know
  384. 28:41what I'm saying?
  385. 28:42That just, that just doesn't work.
  386. 28:47All right.
  387. 28:49In addition to that, this is kind of a day of Capitol Hill hearings because this didn't
  388. 28:55get the attention, I think it should have gotten, but there was also a hearing on the
  389. 29:01House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government.
  390. 29:07This subcommittee is chaired by Congressman Chip Roy of Texas, and he started a caucus
  391. 29:15last year called the Sharea Free America Caucus that has now grown to 38 members.
  392. 29:21in short order. And the hearing that Representative Roy chaired was a hearing concerning the threat
  393. 29:31of Sharia rising in the United States of America. As he went through his opening remarks, Representative
  394. 29:46Roy kind of set the tone for the hearing. And one of the major witnesses in the hearing
  395. 29:52was Robert Spencer, who was wrote and written extensively on this.
  396. 29:59And this is how Representative Roy kind of set the tone for the hearing.
  397. 30:03Listen to and watch clip number two, clip two, go.
  398. 30:06It's safe to say that the goal of those organizations and the Muslim Brotherhood, as my friend Mr.
  399. 30:10Gill said, also from Texas, that the goal of those organizations in advancing Islam,
  400. 30:15Islamist movement in the United States, that the goal is for the Western Hemisphere, for
  401. 30:21of Western civilization in the United States
  402. 30:23and Texas as ground zero to become Islamic.
  403. 30:27Oh, there's no doubt about it.
  404. 30:29That's very clear from the explanatory memorandum
  405. 30:31of the Muslim Brotherhood saying that the goal
  406. 30:33is that Allah's religion is victorious over other religions.
  407. 30:37And they're working toward eliminating
  408. 30:39and destroying Western civilization from within.
  409. 30:42And all the non-Muslim apologists for Sharia
  410. 30:44that we see are indications of how successful
  411. 30:47that effort has been.
  412. 30:49He's absolutely right.
  413. 30:52And you know, Robert Spencer clarified after the hearing, he said, when I'm talking about
  414. 30:55non-Muslim apologists, I'm including people like Jamie Raskin and Ed Cohen from Tennessee
  415. 31:01and these representatives that are trying to act like, ah, this sure thing is much ado
  416. 31:06about nothing.
  417. 31:07And I'm going to get to Robert Spencer's comments in a moment.
  418. 31:10But getting back to, to represent in Aurora doing his open statements, he rightly, you know,
  419. 31:15discussed the concerns that Texas has become ground zero for radical Islamists, Islamists
  420. 31:20to infiltrate the U.S. and implement Sharia law. He pointed to Epic City. We've talked about
  421. 31:26that. You guys know if you've been listening to this show, we've been talking about functional
  422. 31:31Sharia in places like Dearborn, Michigan and Hamtramic, you know. Guys, these things are
  423. 31:36happening. These things are happening. And I see the disrespectful clock. So I won't get
  424. 31:42to this now, but Representative Brandon Gill from Texas also brought out some of the statistics
  425. 31:47in this hearing concerning Muslims in the United States of America and what percentage
  426. 31:53of them actually want.
  427. 31:55Shari alaw, you know, and disturbingly but not surprisingly, you had numerous Democrat
  428. 32:07Congress members who were just like, ah, come on.
  429. 32:12There's nothing to see here.
  430. 32:13Nothing is going on.
  431. 32:14This is not a big deal.
  432. 32:16a big deal. You guys are making just saying this stuff. They
  433. 32:20we don't even really need to be need to have this hearing on this
  434. 32:23topic because this is not happening. And so to the remarks
  435. 32:29that Robert Spencer made is like these are the non Muslim
  436. 32:32apologists that I'm talking about who are enabling these things
  437. 32:37to come to fruition. And guys we we can understand through a
  438. 32:41history but we'd also can see what's happening right now on the
  439. 32:44other side of the ocean in England, because they're not even able to enforce domestic
  440. 32:49abuse laws because Sharia says husbands can beat up their wives.
  441. 32:56Over the last 10 years, young people have been deconstructing their faith, or more accurately,
  442. 33:02decrystionizing.
  443. 33:03The first Great Awakening was a supernatural move of God that happened in the American
  444. 33:07colonies just before the American Revolution.

  458. 33:56The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Commentaries
  459. 34:04are available at afr.net.
  460. 34:07Back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
  461. 34:11Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton
  462. 34:13On the third here, Representative Roy said if Texas falls to Syria, so does the nation.
  463. 34:19These efforts to undermine the Constitution and demonstrate political Islam have only been
  464. 34:24worsened by an unchecked immigration system that admitted Sharia adherence into our borders.
  465. 34:37As I played in the video already, Robert Spencer pointed to the Muslim Brotherhood's
  466. 34:44own documents that say, oh yeah, this is exactly what we want to do.
  467. 34:48Yeah, we exactly are intending to overthrow every other religion and to topple Western
  468. 34:56civilization.
  469. 34:57That's exactly what we want to do.
  470. 35:01He referred to the internal Muslim Brotherhood memorandum that described their goal of waging
  471. 35:08quote a grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the western civilization from within and sabotaging
  472. 35:17its miserable house by its own hand.
  473. 35:22End quote.
  474. 35:25Guys, this is not opinion.
  475. 35:27This is an objective fact that people like the Muslim Brotherhood and care and all these
  476. 35:32other organizations, they have literally said, oh, yeah, we're going to use the American
  477. 35:38system here in the United States and we'll use the European system to overthrow what's
  478. 35:46the civilization. I mean it's not a secret. So the question then becomes why are we tolerating?
  479. 35:57Why are we playing footsies with this kind of stuff when we know this is happening? Well
  480. 36:04because you have people like Jamie Raskin who say,
  481. 36:09Oh man, come on, come on.
  482. 36:12You guys are making a big deal about anything.
  483. 36:15And then of course he made this predictable turn of phrase
  484. 36:19with it about face.
  485. 36:21We don't need to be worried about Sharia.
  486. 36:24The real boogie man we need to be worried about
  487. 36:26is Christian nationalism.
  488. 36:28Listen to Jamie Raskin.
  489. 36:33Well, he may not want to.
  490. 36:37But I'm sharing it with kids because sometimes people tell me,
  491. 36:39eight people and I were saying it, are they saying it?
  492. 36:40Are they like, yes, they are saying these kinds of things.
  493. 36:43Listen to them, watch clip number four, clip four, go.
  494. 36:46We live in a country so great that we don't need the anti-Sharia
  495. 36:50and anti-muslim legislation.
  496. 36:52Our friends are proposing today because our Constitution already
  497. 36:57forbids theocratic imposition and establishment of any kind at all.
  498. 37:01whether it's Christian white nationalism expressed in compulsory 10 commandments displays,
  499. 37:07and Orthodox Jewish Set-aside School District in New York,
  500. 37:11or any effort to replace secular public law with a religious sectarian code,
  501. 37:17whether that's Sharia law, the anisex of Confucius, the Torah, or anything else.
  502. 37:22You see what he did there, right?
  503. 37:24The predictable...
  504. 37:26Oh, man, we don't have to be worried about this.
  505. 37:30Even though we know, we know.
  506. 37:34Like, for example, I've already pointed to you just
  507. 37:37the domestic abuse cases in England.
  508. 37:40They're not prosecuting them there.
  509. 37:42You know why?
  510. 37:43Because the critical mass of the Muslim population
  511. 37:47in England, in sections of England,
  512. 37:53and then the no-go zone areas,
  513. 37:56they view Sharia as supreme.
  514. 38:00So it doesn't matter if you say a husband can't
  515. 38:03slap his wife around.
  516. 38:05Garan says that a husband can't slap his rifle wife around.
  517. 38:12And the English twist themselves into a pretzel
  518. 38:15in saying that, oh, we don't want to discriminate
  519. 38:16against them on the basis of religion.
  520. 38:24And so you have Jamie Raskin, and it's amazing.
  521. 38:26He'll say, white Christian nationalism.
  522. 38:32So it's only white Christians who want to think of mammoths.
  523. 38:37And what's wrong with the think of mammoths?
  524. 38:38You know, teaching our children things like,
  525. 38:40you shall not murder.
  526. 38:42Man, this, our country has been twisted
  527. 38:48far away from what we have been ordained
  528. 38:50and established to be.
  529. 38:52And you have people like Jamie Raskin.
  530. 38:54And for him, I don't think he is a benign,
  531. 39:01complicit participant.
  532. 39:02You have some people who, as Linen said,
  533. 39:05they're useful idiots.
  534. 39:05They don't know what they're doing.
  535. 39:06They're just doing it.
  536. 39:07I'm not sure Jamie Raskin falls into that category.
  537. 39:10I think he has an idea of what he's doing,
  538. 39:12which is why he immediately is saying,
  539. 39:13That's not a threat, but oh, it's the Christian nationalist that are a threat, even though it
  540. 39:20was Christianity that birth Western civilization.
  541. 39:22I have so much more I want to say to this, but I want you to hear Representative Brandon Gill
  542. 39:29when he walks through several statistics that many in the very reason I want you to hear
  543. 39:34this because I want you to be aware of these statistics.
  544. 39:38I want you to be aware of this information right here in our own country.
  545. 39:42Listen to brand representative Brandon Gill as he's very good at this.
  546. 39:45He's a new representative.
  547. 39:47I've seen him do the same type of thing on several different issues, and it's caused me
  548. 39:51to take note of him.
  549. 39:53Listen to Representative Gill talk about the percentage of Muslims in the United States who
  550. 39:58actually favor implementation of Sharia and seek to do so within the next 20 years.
  551. 40:04Clip number three.
  552. 40:05Clip three.
  553. 40:06Go.
  554. 40:07What percentage of U.S. Muslims believe that Sharia law should be implemented in the United
  555. 40:12States?
  556. 40:13So I'm not aware of survey data on that specific question, however...
  557. 40:17I can tell you, it's 39%, 39% of Muslims in the United States want Sharia law implemented
  558. 40:25in the next 20 years.
  559. 40:27Do you know what percentage of Muslims in the United States support the formation of
  560. 40:32a Muslim political party?
  561. 40:34Again, I'm not familiar with survey data on that particular question.
  562. 40:38is 46%. Do a couple more. Do you know what percentage of Muslims in the United States support making it illegal to show a picture of the cartoon or cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad?
  563. 40:50So as with the other questions, a lot depends on the wording and the sample and I would want to see this.
  564. 40:5650% that's a lot. Do you know what percentage of Muslims in the United States believe that Islam should be declared as our national religion?
  565. 41:07Once again, I would want to look at the methodology of the survey to question the 33%
  566. 41:12This is from a survey conducted by the Heritage Foundation in 2024 in September of 2024
  567. 41:19It was published on October 6th 2024
  568. 41:24Now I wanted you to hear that as well because the conversation went on the
  569. 41:30Witness didn't want to deal with the actual statistics
  570. 41:34He then wanted to turn to try to invalidate the survey
  571. 41:37Now, with any survey, with any poll, I think it's prudent to learn the sample sizes, the
  572. 41:43methodology employed, but the witness didn't want to deal with the reality of the statistics.
  573. 41:51I brought this to your attention because I want you to think about this.
  574. 41:56What if those statistics are accurate and I have no reason to doubt that they are?
  575. 42:01People can disagree with the Heritage Foundation on a lot of different things.
  576. 42:04They tend to do a tremendous job on empirical analysis.
  577. 42:11is true that 33% of Muslims in the United States want Islam to be declared the nation's
  578. 42:18religion, the national religion. 50%. You heard those numbers, 46%. 39% want to see Sharia
  579. 42:28implemented within two years. What if that's accurate? What evidence do we have already?
  580. 42:39We already talked about the internal memorandum and the Muslim Brotherhood.
  581. 42:42And guys, the assertion that we are, quote, we are waging, quote, a grand ji-hard in eliminating
  582. 42:56and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by
  583. 43:05its own hand, end quote.
  584. 43:11Is that happening?
  585. 43:14Do we have evidence that that is happening?
  586. 43:19One of the main slides of hand is the representation that Islam is merely religion.
  587. 43:30You had the Council on American Islamic Relations say, ah, Sharia is not a legal system.
  588. 43:39It describes private morality that Muslims follow, private morality.
  589. 43:45Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's private morality that was washed across North Africa and Europe.
  590. 43:53I'm sure I'm sure a caliphates were pursued because of an effort for private morality.
  591. 44:01Man, this is this is insane. Robert Spencer explained during this hearing,
  592. 44:07the quote, Sharia law that is derived from the Quran is inherently political,
  593. 44:12supremacist, expansionist, and violent, end quote. Some of you remember the show we had
  594. 44:19with Bill Federer right here on this network. The many programs we've had with Brigitte Gabriel
  595. 44:24right here on this show. We've seen what's happened in history. We see what's happening
  596. 44:30right now in Nigeria. I'm sure that they're killing Christians by the thousands because
  597. 44:36of their commitment to private morality. And is it interesting, no matter if it's Islamists
  598. 44:42in Africa or Islamists in Europe or Islamists in the Middle East, that they tend to see a
  599. 44:49a consistent effort. I'm not saying it's every person who identifies themselves as Muslims
  600. 44:58who are doing it, but every person who seeks to establish a real tends to be Islamist. Are
  601. 45:06we going to continue to stick our heads in the sand? And one of the major problems is
  602. 45:11the twisting in the version of our First Amendment, which is why, you know, Gramsey's
  603. 45:15long-mart student institutions, it's included the legal system in our country, that the progressive
  604. 45:20Movements, which you guys know I call regressive, the regressive movement away from the Black
  605. 45:24Stoneian, ethic as it applies to the American Constitution understanding.
  606. 45:30Moving toward the Darwinian evolution applied to the legal policies position concerning
  607. 45:35jurisprudence to where legal positivism was implemented to supplant the Black Stoneian
  608. 45:43common law approach to where originalist construction was not a means of interpretation.
  609. 45:51It was the means of understanding the Constitution.
  610. 45:54What did the Founders mean when they wrote it?
  611. 45:56What did the American citizens who ratified it understand it to mean?
  612. 46:01And how does that apply to us?
  613. 46:05How does that understanding apply now?
  614. 46:07The Founders never would have supported the twisting of our first amendment into a vehicle
  615. 46:13to allow Shari Allah to be established.
  616. 46:18And here's another thing.
  617. 46:19You know, because, you know, Jamie Raskin points to Jefferson's wall of separation, which is
  618. 46:26not in the Constitution, it's in the Dan's Berry Baptist letter, letters to the Dan's Berry
  619. 46:31Baptist.
  620. 46:32Guys, you also have Article 6, Clause 2.
  621. 46:37In addition to Article 4, which guarantees to every American citizen a constitutional
  622. 46:42Republican form of government.
  623. 46:44Sharia is not conducive to Article 4.
  624. 46:49not only that, Article 6 describes the U.S. Constitution as a supreme law of the land,
  625. 46:54which would prohibit any effort to undermine the consent of the governed as to how we shall
  626. 47:04be governed.
  627. 47:10But you have the Jamie Raskins and the Steve Cohen, who by the way wasn't even there for the
  628. 47:13whole hearing.
  629. 47:14He slipped in late and popped out early, just came in to drop his, you know, his grandstanding,
  630. 47:19aw, shocks you guys.
  631. 47:21We don't even, what is our point even having a hearing?
  632. 47:24We shouldn't even need, we didn't, you need to have it here on this, this, and this, and
  633. 47:28this, and not even anything that's happening.
  634. 47:33God says happening, it's happening right here.
  635. 47:37It's happening right here.
  636. 47:38The whole epic city plan didn't just come out of nowhere.
  637. 47:43That's not something that's popular.
  638. 47:44You know what?
  639. 47:45Yay, we're stressing more.
  640. 47:46Man, why don't you put some toaster strudel and toaster for me?
  641. 47:48You know what, how about this?
  642. 47:49How about we get a 400 acre tract of land and create our own Muslim city?
  643. 47:53How about that?
  644. 47:54Right deep in the heart of Texas.
  645. 48:00in the Dallas Metroplex area. Let's go ahead and plop it right there. Guys, we have got to wake up.
  646. 48:09We have got to wake up because this is happening right here and you have these people. They have
  647. 48:20no concern. Oh, no, sharia. Real issue is if you got to take commandments in the classroom,
  648. 48:27now that's the real issue. Guys, pray for our country. We our nation needs prayer and our nation
  649. 48:39He needs God's people to stand up and obey with the Lord commands of us having pray.
  650. 48:48Because we did not get to where we are today overnight.
  651. 48:53And we're not going to get out of where we are overnight.
  652. 48:57But here's the beautiful thing.
  653. 48:59The scripture is filled with examples that when people thought, man, this is a done deal,
  654. 49:06this is a rap, nothing can be done here.
  655. 49:10That kind of calculus concludes, or should I say, excludes God from the considerations.
  656. 49:20Let's not make that mistake.
  657. 49:21Let's turn to the Lord, the humility and contrition, to cry out to Him, and to resolve in our hearts
  658. 49:29to obey Him into what He calls us to.
