0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
0:07This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
0:11It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
0:15Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
0:18And the philosophies of this world.
0:20God has called you and me to be his ambassador.
0:24Even in this dark moment.
0:26Let's not miss our moment.
0:29And now the Hamilton Corner.
0:31Good evening everybody.
0:34Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio.
0:37I'm your host Abraham Hamilton, the third joined by the corner contingent right here with me
0:43in the AFR broadcast suite at the Opera Land Hotel and Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee.
0:50At the NRB Convention, 2026 is our produced extraordinaire often imitated, never duplicated
0:55the real J. Mac.
0:57And we got the home team at home.
1:01My man 100 grand, Mr. Bobby erb, erb, erb, erb, erb, erb, erb, erb, erb, erb, erb, erb
1:05OH size, man in the board again today.
1:07And our friendly neighborhood, Wooda Haulick, Mr. Marty Sparks is aiding us in bringing today's
1:13program to you, which we are ready to rock and roll with delivering.
1:21At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you, are making your transition from your
1:24part time jobs to your full time jobs. And as you do so, I want to encourage you to do so
1:31with intentionality, but also do so with a bit of understanding of the times that we are in, guys,
1:40I have been pondering and reflecting on where we are in our nation. You know, I've been talking
1:51A little bit about that on the air, more so about it off of the air.
1:55Today, I'm going to get to a story later on by God's grace where you have a man who made the
2:07decision to become an educator who was told by his charter school that he must read
2:18LGBTQ plus material to his first grade class or else be terminated from his job.
2:26What you're going to hear about when we cover the story is the teacher's
2:34objection was merely to be forced to do it himself. If the curriculum required it
2:39he was going to make room for a substitute teacher to come in to do that
2:45portion of the curriculum. But the school said, nah you have to read this.
2:49It's kind of like, no, that's not enough for you, Jack Phillips, to allow another cake to
2:55be right.
2:56You got to create one yourself.
2:58You know, when you think of the coalescing of forces, domestic and foreign, you know,
3:07the kind of intentional collusion to outsource our manufacturing space from the United States
3:12of America to international sources, you see the efforts to execute the long march through
3:20the institutions to sever our national anchor in the Lord and our citizenry's capacity to
3:31be reared in the Lord's nurture and admonition. When you see the things that are happening
3:37all across the board, you know, the lawlessness that abounds in the street, the cultivation
3:43of disdain for our own nation, these things are happening all at one time and it's not
3:49a coincidence where we see largely speaking the witness of the church compromised if not
3:57completely nullified in our own country. It's desperate times, man. It's serious times.
4:09And I am prayerfully pondering whether or not we understand where we are. I have endeavored
4:18to communicate while we rightfully applaud brothers like Pastor Wang Yi in China standing
4:27to pastor in the underground church where you have overt hostile persecution from the
4:31Chinese government, the brethren and Nigeria standing in the face of the efforts to establish
4:37a caliphate in Islamic caliphate in Africa through Boko Haram, we rightly stand and support
4:47these people. But I similarly wonder if we recognize physical or persecution is a trial
4:56on one end of the spectrum, if you will. But abundance includes trials of its own. You know,
5:06we don't have those things at the same level of intensity in our country that's happening
5:10like in Nigeria and other places. But it is a trial as well to remain faithful to the
5:18King of kings and the Lord of lords in the face of material, wealth, relatively speaking.
5:26And I feel like because we live in our own nation, we kind of minimize the significance
5:32of that while executing that minimization, ask ourselves, what is the rate at which we
5:40have children reared in the nurturing admonition of the Lord and who go on into adulthood to
5:45remain faithful to the King of kings in the Lord of lords?
5:48Or is it a more common phenomenon that we've experienced in our lives to find young people
5:56who are, quote unquote, raised in the church?
6:03Where are they going forward as they follow?
6:07Are they continuing to follow the Lord?
6:09Is the church a overwhelmingly successful institution in propagating Christ following generationally
6:21or is something else happening?
6:24And if something else happening, do we have any idea why or how it's happening, let alone
6:30an urgency about us that it is happening.
6:34These are things that are continually on my mind.
6:41As we turn to the Word of God today, a very familiar passage of Scripture, 1 Chronicles
6:4712, it's often discussed, I've discussed it often multiple times on this show.
6:52I want to revisit it again, because there's an intrinsic reality in the text that we could
6:59miss if we're not giving attention to it.
7:03But a very simple one verse, when I say simple, don't misconstrue simplicity with ease of comprehension
7:10or depth of understanding.
7:13This text comes to us as the nation of Israel was considering whether or not to remain faithful
7:19to the house of Saul in terms of its monarchy or to follow David.
7:24All right.
7:26And then 1 Corinthians, 1 Chronicles chapter 12 verse 32, it says of the sons of Isakar,
7:34of the sons of Isakar, men who understood the times with knowledge of what Israel should
7:41do.
7:43Their chiefs were 200 and all their kinsmen were at their command.
7:48One of the things that is intrinsic to the text that may not seem obvious is that the
7:54highlight placed by God on the sons of Isakar and their understanding of the times implicitly
8:03indicts other tribes in Israel and people in Israel and chiefs in Israel by articulating
8:13that they did not understand the times.
8:16There were some in Israel who understood the times.
8:19There were others in Israel who did not understand the times.
8:26I'm saying that because I want to kind of short circuit the temptation that some in this audience
8:37might have.
8:38And I've said this before.
8:39This is one of the most informed audiences in the country.
8:43You guys are paying attention.
8:44You guys are up to date on a lot of things.
8:49I don't have as expansive a team as some other people might have,
8:53but I get to read a lot of your communications.
8:56I don't get to respond to them as quickly as I'd hope to.
9:00But Lord willing that that'll change as we go forward.
9:02We'll be able to get to the responses a bit more quickly.
9:06But I'm saying that because the same is true today.
9:10There are some in our nation.
9:13There are some within the body of Christ
9:15to understand the times that we're in.
9:20Who understand the need for urgency
9:23in the areas that are most important.
9:27One of the most challenging things to do
9:29in an environment where luxury exists.
9:33And I know many of you listening to me are saying,
9:35hey, I'm not kidding me, I'm not wealthy,
9:38I'm not rich, I'm not talking about wealthy
9:40in terms of your comparison of other people
9:42in our own nation.
9:43I'm talking about wealthy in terms of our stance
9:45in the world, our nation within the entire world
9:48that we're in currently and the assessment
9:51of where we are vis-a-vis mankind,
9:53preceding us in history. That's what I'm talking about.
9:57You know, to be fair for the most part,
9:59and there are exceptions to this,
10:00but the exceptions are very, very rare.
10:03For the most part, people in America,
10:05their question is what are we going to eat today?
10:08Not if we are going to eat today.
10:10You hear what I'm saying?
10:12You know, in many parts of the world,
10:13as you and I are speaking,
10:15there are people who ponder if they will eat today.
10:21You hear what I'm saying?
10:21Does that put the point on it?
10:23I'm trying to put on it?
10:24Most Americans are not asking the question,
10:26I wonder if I am going to eat today.
10:29And again, there are some, but it's not a whole lot.
10:33It's not a whole lot.
10:35And for the some that there are,
10:36this doesn't reduce the reality of their suffering
10:39and their struggle, but it's to simply articulate
10:43where we are today.
10:45Considering that, there are people in our nation
10:47who do not understand the times that we're in.
10:49They do not understand it.
10:50They do not understand it.
10:54How do we get to a place when a teacher could be fired,
10:57be threatened with being fired.
10:59If they refuse to read what the Bible says
11:02is an abomination to six-year-olds.
11:10We'll get what I'm saying.
11:12Not only did the scripture identify the sons of Issacar
11:15of understanding as understanding the times,
11:20the scripture says of them
11:21that they not only understood the times,
11:23they also had knowledge of what the nation should do.
11:30All right?
11:31So I don't want us to speed by that.
11:34These are people who understood the times,
11:36but their understanding of the times was accompanied
11:41by knowing what needed to be done in light
11:44of the times that we're in.
11:47There are a lot of people in our country
11:51who will say, man, something is off.
11:52They'll say that, you know, something is just not right.
11:55There's not as many people who are able to get right down
11:58to the core of what the issue or issues are,
12:02what the issue is or what the issues are,
12:04Let alone who would know what to do in response.
12:10That's a question I get a lot as I travel.
12:12Hey, what should we do?
12:14Hey, what can we do?
12:19And I don't represent myself as being someone who knows
12:22everything about everything,
12:23because I'm not an expert on all things.
12:27I don't consider myself an expert pretty much in anything.
12:29There's some things my guys grace,
12:31the Lord has afforded me some insight in,
12:33but there are lots of other things where I rely
12:35on other people, have wisdom and skill and prudence
12:37and in love with the Lord that I that I rely upon them for other areas of expertise, but we have kind of
12:48Let me say it this way. I was taught I heard an
12:56More seasoned sister chronologically in the faith
13:01discussing
13:02That young people today younger parents
13:06Newly married people who are parents who have young children
13:09She said this that they have to consider things with their children that we never had to consider.
13:15And while at first blush I understand what she means when she said that,
13:20but then my question is, well why didn't you have to consider that?
13:25Did you assume some things that were not true?
13:30You see when we understand that the conversation that we're having in education today,
13:35like I'm talking about this teacher, I'm going to get to it,
13:37there's a teacher in Nashville, Tennessee who was threatened with being terminated
13:41for refusing to read an LGBTQ plus book to six year olds.
13:44The first graders, he's a first grade teacher.
13:46Dude, he's a first grade teacher.
13:50Some of the lack of discernment I'm talking about,
13:52that the generations that proceed
13:53our current generation didn't realize,
13:55that when they see that territory,
13:59as to whether or not God was an indispensable,
14:04central feature of what we call education,
14:07and build a system around that,
14:09what they don't recognize is that the battles
14:11that their children are fighting in the school today,
14:14they're the offspring of the battles
14:16that should have been fought in generations prior.
14:18Now I'm not saying that to place blame on anybody,
14:21but I'm asking the question, why didn't we realize
14:25that it wasn't okay for 90 plus percent,
14:28really over 95% of the American populace
14:31to be indoctrinated in the system of instruction
14:34that denies an dollars for God.
14:35Why didn't we in previous generations fight against that
14:39with the fervor and the urgency that was necessary.
14:43Because failure to fight there
14:45is what laid the foundation for us now
14:47to have to have conversations about teachers getting
14:50threatened with termination of their employment,
14:53for refusing to bow at the sexual idolatry
14:57golden statute of our day.
15:01A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker,
15:04we live in a crazy, dangerous world
15:07that includes spiritual warfare raging everywhere you go.
15:11We who are followers of Christ need to be warrior-minded in our approach
15:15to how we follow and live for Christ in this dangerous world.
15:18Not being alert, making unwise decisions,
15:21moving without a sense of urgency, any and all of these actions in wartime can
15:26literally cause someone to get killed.
15:29Psalm 91 is a unique weapon in scripture
15:32that addresses many of the perils in life.
15:35Are you making it a priority to pray Psalm 91 every single day?
15:40If not, why not?
15:42Well, I'm not a fanatic,
15:43and I don't see a need to pray this particular scripture
15:46every single day.
15:48Well, if that is you,
15:49I believe you'd be wise to change your mind
15:52and to begin to pray this prayer every day.
15:55No one or nothing can protect you like God can.
16:05Shiting light into the darkness,
16:08this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
16:12Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner,
16:13Abraham Hamilton the third here,
16:16broadcasting live from the Opry Land Hotel and Convention Center in Nashville,
16:21Tennessee at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention,
16:242026. I started with this.
16:28I didn't plan on starting with the show,
16:32but it's just starting with this topic, I should say,
16:35for today's show, but it's just in light of the conversations we've been having all week.
16:41There's so much to this that is problematic.
16:44So let me give you guys more detail on what I'm referring to.
16:48So there is a charter school in Nashville, Tennessee,
16:51where I am right now.
16:54I might have to take a ride tomorrow.
16:58Kip Antioch College Prep Elementary School
17:01is the school that I'm talking about.
17:04Where a first grade teacher, first grade teacher,
17:10who is a man who has Christian convictions.
17:16His name is Eric Rivera.
17:19All right.
17:22Kip Antioch College Prep Elementary issued a final warning and placed in Mr. Rivera's
17:29file.
17:30It should a final warning to him threatening termination of his job and place it in his
17:38employment file as a disciplinary measure against him.
17:47Why you might ask?
17:51the Mr. Rivera is a Christian and he's a Christian who refused to read two books that
18:04are LGBTQ themed books. I'm sorry, read a book. The book features a same-sex couple that purports
18:15to be married and this couple has a child. All right. Mr. Rivera said that he is convicted
18:26by the Holy Word of God concerning the institution of marriage that people of the same sex cannot
18:35be married and did not want to participate in presenting that to his students in normalizing
18:44a societal construct that violated God's Holy Word.
18:52He says that this has no place in the elementary charter schools language arts curriculum.
19:01Now Mr. Rivera had never had any previous disciplinary history, not one mark on his record in the
19:11entirety of his career.
19:15Another not so fun fact of this circumstance is that Mr. Rivera secured a colleague to stand
19:24in for him to read the book to his class of first graders while he remained in the classroom
19:30to observe, but he did not want to be compelled to read the material himself.
19:41The final warning letter that the school issued to Mr. Rivera accused him of failing to meet
19:46the expectation of teaching the curriculum with fidelity.
19:51Think about that.
19:52And said that as a result of his conduct, his students would miscontent aligned with the
20:00scope of the unit.
20:03mind you they said this about him in the disciplinary measure even though he secured a colleague to do
20:08the reading on his behalf. The principle of the elementary school indicated that the belief in
20:16same-sex marriage is so fundamental to the language arts unit that Mr. Rivera could not possibly be
20:22permitted to teach any portion of the unit and therefore had to be terminated from his job.
20:31Now that being said thankfully Mr. Rivera was able to secure the legal representation of our
20:36friends at First Liberty that they have fired off a letter to the school on Mr.
20:42Rivera's behalf making all of the appropriate legal demands which you know
20:45First Liberty knows what they're doing. They're gonna win the legal argument.
20:48They're gonna win the legal argument and then for example senior council at First
20:53Liberty attorney Cliff Martin said this quote requiring a teacher to violate
20:57their religious beliefs in order to keep their job is blatant discrimination that
21:01violates the United States of America's law, Constitution and statutes. I mean
21:06that. So the legal issue guys is not I'm not even quibbling with you on that. But let's
21:11let's step back a couple steps. Remember the conversation we've been having, right? How did
21:16the nation of Israel who walked across the Red Sea on dry ground, who was commanded by the
21:21Lord to build memorials? How did it get to a place where you have a Gideon who would say
21:26where is this God that we heard about? How does it happen? How do we get to a place where
21:34you have, you know, a command for kings of Israel to hand write their own copy of the God of God's law,
21:43hand copy the Torah, hand copy God's word, till you get a Josiah who's like, man, you know, we were
21:51doing this reconstruction campaign, you know, they found this thing and it's called the book of the law.
21:55How does that happen? Guys, we're living in it. This is what I'm saying. This is what I'm saying.
21:59How did we, as a United States of America,
22:04the United States of America get to the place,
22:06think about this, where we have a charter school.
22:12So everybody, in case you're not familiar with a charter school,
22:16a charter school is an effort to create
22:19a educational institution that performs at a better rate
22:28than the more conventional and traditional public schools.
22:31So the whole purpose of the formation of the charter schools generally is to make a better offering in educational instruction.
22:43And so we have gotten to the place in a nation where right here where I am in Nashville, Tennessee,
22:51where this Kip charter school has made the decision that
22:56Reading to first graders about relationships that the Lord says are abominable.
23:10And then you have a Christian man who has made the decision to dedicate himself his life in his career to helping to educate children.
23:23But because of his biblical convictions who says that I cannot be a part of this.
23:34to where the school will say, nah,
23:37if you want your job, you gonna do this.
23:42The school gonna play like Debo.
23:48What you got on this man?
23:50Nah man, I ain't got nothing for you, I can't.
23:53Nah, nah, you gonna do this.
23:55If you want your job, you gonna do this.
24:02Now clearly, Mr. Rivera, brother Rivera,
24:05doesn't believe in this information.
24:09But he has no choice but to allow the children
24:11to be presented with this stuff.
24:18How do we get here, guys?
24:22Might I reiterate something I've said before?
24:25That this is the pathway that was paved when our society decided
24:32that it was okay to offer instruction to children that denies
24:37the knowledge of God at its foundation.
24:40When I travel and speak in different places and I make the point concerning Sir Isaac Newton
24:46that he could rightly be described as a theologian who did science on the side
24:52of his theological investments because it's true, he wrote twice as much about the Bible
24:58in particular and theology than he did about scientific experimentation.
25:03And we have an entire country who knows about Newton, the physicist, the scientist, and
25:09our world larger than those nothing about Newton's theology.
25:13Knows nothing about the fact that Newton experimented with the Lord's creation because of the revelation
25:19of the Lord in his word.
25:25We have a society he refused to take God at his word when he says that reverence for
25:31me, fear for me is the beginning of not, you can have no knowledge without me.
25:40You can have no wisdom without me.
25:43And what do we largely have in our society today?
25:45Would you say that one of the most defining features of American life of the majority
25:51of the American population is that we have a population that is characterized by wisdom.
25:57Would you say that? Or would you say something else?
26:06Guys, what I've been endeavoring to communicate is that we as a country have gone nose blind.
26:12We have accepted as normal living in a cesspool and we largely comfort ourselves in this cesspool
26:26because we got high speed internet. We got Wi-Fi. That'll give me wrong. I am
26:40grateful for a lot of the creature conference we enjoy in our country. But
26:47at what cost is what I'm saying to you? At what cost? It has gotten to the place
26:58to where, you know, this school thought they would, they thought they were cookie
27:05We're Greece.
27:06Now Mr. Rivera, we didn't told you now,
27:08this is your final warning.
27:10What are you warning?
27:17Guys, this is right here in our country.
27:22This is happening now.
27:27The people of that school should be embarrassed to say
27:29that they've done this, but they're not, you know why?
27:33Because our society is going nose blind.
27:36It's the antithesis of the sons of Isakar
27:41and the scripture.
27:47How do we get to that place to where the school
27:51fell like a school to threaten his teacher with his job. How do we get to the place
27:56to where a school will feel comfortable including this and their curriculum? One
28:02of the things that First Liberty pointed out to this school, and you know again they
28:09they put this final warning and Mr. Rivera's personnel file, Tennessee State
28:17Law requires schools to give notice to parents when they're delving into topics
28:22like this. This is the first Liberty pointed out to the school, but the school
28:30failed to disclose not just one two books. That's why I said too early earlier. And the
28:36books are listed on Amazon for example. The books are listed in the LGBTQ plus category.
28:43Tennessee state law requires the school to notify the elementary school students parents
28:47that this was going to be required reading but you think they notified the parents.
28:55Well what do you think? Do you think that the school and I'm going to say the name of the school
28:59that Kip Antioch College Prep Elementary.
29:02Do you think they notified the parents?
29:04According to what first Liberty said,
29:09they didn't tell the parents nothing.
29:12So think about this, and I say this all the time,
29:14guys, you cannot unring a bell once it's wrong.
29:16So imagine your child is in this elementary school class.
29:20You thought, but the state law says they have to let us know
29:24if they're gonna read these kind of books.
29:26You've gone through the syllabus for the semester,
29:30for the school year, you seen this book, see, all right.
29:33This is what they can be learning from.
29:34And now you found out, and you don't find out
29:36because of school admission, you find out
29:38because you heard about this on the Hamilton Corner.
29:42Like imagine you driving home right now
29:45from your part-time job, and your child goes
29:48to Kip Antia College Preparatory Elementary School,
29:51and you are finding out now that the school had two books
29:56that are LGBTQ plus books, but they didn't tell you about it.
30:00And they were requiring your six year old to have that read to them.
30:07Think about that.
30:10And it only came to the floor because Mr. Rivera said, I can't do it.
30:14I'm not going to do it, but I'll have one of my colleagues fill in for me to do it.
30:18And now you're finding it out and try to work with you all the time.
30:23Once you present information to a jury, you cannot unring a bell once it's wrong.
30:35Guys, there must be an urgency, an urgency for the heart of God in our society, man.
30:43There must be, you want to talk my love, God, and love your neighbor.
30:47What greater love can you have for your neighbor than a yearning for them not to experience eternal
30:52damnation separate from the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
30:59How, what, the script to tell us what greater love than any man had than this that he laid
31:04down his life for his friends.
31:10I've said numerous times that the objective that Maria and I are striving to work with
31:14our own children is third John four.
31:16We have no greater joy than to know that our children are walking in the truth.
31:23And we have a similar investment for our neighbors.
31:25Yes, I want my children to walk in the truth.
31:29But I don't want J-Max children to be blind in darkness.
31:32I don't want Bobby's family to suffer in darkness.
31:39I don't want a culture that cosines wickedness.
31:46But guys, this is where we are.
31:49You can talk to your red state, blue states, all you want.
31:51But everybody knows, you know as well as we got red states.
31:54Guess what the majority cities are?
31:56The major cities in these states?
31:59This is one of the major beats I have
32:00with the Republican Party on the political front.
32:02They talk all of the jazz,
32:03but they won't go anywhere near the inner cities.
32:07And they'll say things like,
32:08oh yeah, I don't want to waste resources
32:09because they enter a city who will never vote.
32:11And at the exact same time, the Democrats
32:13are beating down the doors,
32:14getting the housewives to vote blue.
32:18They don't see any areas
32:19where they won't try to get into.
32:20Right now they're trying to turn Texas blue.
32:27What greater, don't we have a greater cause as the kingdom of God beyond even the politicians?
32:37Guys, we have, we need to wake up. In many ways, the body of Christ has been seduced into a practical
32:45disengagement, a seduced into a normalized negligence because we don't even realize what it is that we're
32:53neglecting. I'm Dr. Ray Rooney. The mission of American Family Association is to inform,

34:02Freedom from Lust.
34:03This is David Wheaton, host of the Christian worldview.
34:07Lost is sinful desire contrary to God's will.
34:11While it is associated with the craving
34:13for sexual pleasure outside marriage,
34:15lust can also be a sinful desire for power, money,
34:19material things and more.
34:21The Bible says, do not love the world, nor the things
34:24in the world.
34:25If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father
34:27is not in him.
34:29For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh
34:32and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life
34:35is not from the Father but is from the world.
34:38As we cultivate a deeper love of God,
34:41satisfying our lusts will become far less enticing.
34:45Here are most recent program on freedom from lust
34:48at theChristianworldview.org
34:50and then tune in this weekend
34:51for another topic that will sharpen your worldview.
34:54Listen to the Christian worldview with David Wheaton,

36:11Alright, there was an explosive, really unplanned explosive moment before the United Nations Geneva
36:22summit that just transpired. And it was spurred on by the Iranian American, she ended up in
36:35exile from Iran because they were trying to kill her in Iran. I'm talking about Masi
36:41Alan Jad, and if I forgive me, I've mispronounced her name. But she came to the United States
36:48in 2009, she has been the focal point of several assassination attempts by the Iranian government,
36:58and she was invited by the UN.
36:59She'd already appeared before a congressional committee in the United States of America,
37:03and following her appearance in the US, she was invited by the United Nations to speak
37:10before the UN at its Geneva Summit.
37:13And I'll tell you plainly, she excoriated the UN and the European nations primarily who
37:21were there at the summit and to really kind of put a fine point on her remarks and I have
37:29a couple of clips from her appearance for you in a moment.
37:36She said that the United Nations is a joke.
37:42She said the United Nations is a sad joke.
37:48She said it's embarrassingly sad how Europeans have been duped to give safe harbor and safe
37:58passage to killers.
38:00She said it's not Islamophobic to treat ISIS like ISIS.
38:06But her marks taken together, one can do anything except, or should I say, one will be forced
38:13to conclude that she's saying you guys have allowed ISIS to have a seat at the table at
38:19the United Nations.
38:21I want you to hear my C. Elena Jad in our own words.
38:27Listen to and watch clip number one, clip one, go.
38:31Thank you so much everyone.
38:34I am supposed to talk only in three minutes,
38:37but in my country in 24 hours,
38:40they killed 40,000 people in Iran.
38:44And I am here at the United Nations
38:47while the killers are walking here.
38:50I saw them with expensive Gucci bags.
38:53I saw them with expensive brands walking here at the United Nations.
38:59And this is the right time you will watch, invited me, I'm very thankful, but I am going
39:06to talk the truth.
39:08United Nations is a sad joke.
39:12Ironically I was invited by the US government recently to testify at the Security Council
39:21at the United Nations.
39:24I said that the Secretary-General of United Nations
39:29stand with dictators.
39:31Here I'm going to ask you three steps that they took.
39:35And I will ask you whether they stand with dictators
39:38or with the victims.
39:40As Hila mentioned, this is should be the United Nations stand
39:45with the victims.
39:46Three steps.
39:48First, the Secretary-General of United Nations
39:52send a congratulation letter to Islamic Republic
39:56for the anniversary of this murderous regime.
40:01You tell me, do they stand with dictators or the victims?
40:04The victims are here, these two women.
40:07They, one of them lost her eye,
40:09because the revolutionary gods shot her in her eye,
40:12Khosar, one of them carried the bullets on her arm, Sima.
40:17Do they stand with them?
40:18No, we have only three minutes.
40:20But the killers have everything here.
40:26We have three minutes to talk.
40:30She's saying the Secretary General of the United Nations
40:33is sending a letter congratulating this murderous republic,
40:37this murderous regime.
40:40She said in her remarks, 40,000 people
40:43were killed in the span of 24 hours.
40:45That's what she said.
40:48And you're going to send a congratulations letter?
40:52You're going to send a congratulations letter?
40:54She was just getting warmed up.
40:55But those remarks got you.
40:56I was going to see.
40:57She was just getting warmed up.
40:58She said that they're murdering people in the streets and they're strutting around here
41:02with Gucci bags.
41:03You want to tell me something about humanitarian?
41:10Concerns?
41:14She wasn't done.
41:15She was not done.
41:17She continued before the United Nations.
41:19Listen to and watch her here.
41:20Clip number two, clip two, go.
41:22I want Geneva to hear the voice of Iranians.
41:26Right now, after killing 40,000 people, they are storming to hospitals.
41:30They're finishing up the injured ones.
41:32They arresting doctors and nurses.
41:34They put the political prisoners on the death row,
41:37they're executing them.
41:38I want to ask Geneva to host a peace conference,
41:42invite the opposition from Iran,
41:45invite the leaders of Europe,
41:47invite the leaders from European country and free world here
41:52to talk about Iran without Islamic Republic.
41:55I know my time is over, three minutes,
41:57but I'm gonna show you something.
41:59This, okay, the West waited too long.
42:06That doesn't call you Islamophobic.
42:08If you treat ISIS the way that they deserve to be.
42:12Yes.
42:14And the West waited too long.
42:17Too long when I was fighting against compulsory jobs.
42:20They were like, oh, this is Islamophobic.
42:22Oh, no, we have to respect others' culture.
42:25All the female politicians from West,
42:27they went to my country, they bowed the compulsory job
42:29from Sweden, Netherlands, Germany,
42:32France from everywhere,
42:33high representative of Europe.
42:36They waited too long until Maxar's you know, I mean he got killed suddenly.
42:40They realized oh this is not their culture.
42:42They started to cut their hair to show their solidarity with us.
42:45Stop cutting your hair.
42:47Cut your ties with our killers.
42:51Stop cutting your hair.
42:53Cut your ties with our killers.
42:57You ain't saying that on the evening news.
43:0040,000 people slayed and I told you guys the numbers range.
43:03The Iranian regime admitted yeah we're probably about somewhere between 4 and 7,000 people killed.
43:08Really? If they're admitting that they killed about four to seven thousand people in the streets, do you think that's a real number?
43:19Are you hearing on the evening news that they're not only killing people in the streets?
43:23But the ones that they wounded that you have Iranian government officials going into the hospitals killing the wounded in the hospitals
43:31But they're they're allowed to traipse up and down the United Nations
43:45It's a it she said you need to have a
43:50a conference, a peace conference where we are discussing in Iran without the Islamic Republic.
43:57Because there was an Iran before there was an Islamic Republic.
44:03And the conference is I pray she has some bodyguards.
44:05I can tell you I know for a fact she does,
44:08the Iranians attempted to kill her several times.
44:17And I cannot help but to think about, and I've said this before,
44:21what the impact of the gospel spreading in that country,
44:27how it's contributed to the boldness and the courage that we're seeing.
44:36Don't cut your hair, cut your ties with the killers.
44:40That's what she said.
44:43Can anybody find fault against what she's saying?
44:50Here's another comment.
44:51They're also going into the houses to identify whether or not people showed up at the protests
44:56and if they were shot in the protest, if they find evidence that they were shot at protest,
45:00they'll kill them in their own homes.
45:13Do we really understand what's going on?
45:16through really understanding times. And while this is percolating in Iran, in our own country,
45:26you know I had to take it back home right, in our own country, we saw the miracle of Rome
45:33and Planned Parenthood versus Casey overturned only to see the fidelity to this death cult
45:43to take root at the state level. I saw one of these kind of man on the street videos,
45:49I should have brought this for the day show.
45:51When you had a guy who was on the college campus,
45:53he was talking to a young man and a young lady
45:55on the college campus, and he was explaining really
46:00the details of a DNC abortion, but saying that people
46:03were doing this to puppies.
46:04Saying that this is how people are doing,
46:07they're murdering unborn puppies.
46:09Would you be willing to, and as the guy is talking
46:12to him, you can see it, and the girl gets teary-eyed,
46:16you know, starts dropping tears.
46:19And the guy is incredulous, I cannot believe they're doing this to innocent human beings.
46:24I cannot believe this is happening.
46:27And then the man, let me say, oh, I'm sorry.
46:29I said this happened in the puppies.
46:30They're actually doing this to children, to unborn babies.
46:32Will you still sign a petition?
46:34You should have saw those students change course.
46:39They were willing to sign a petition to stop the procedures from being done to puppies.
46:43But when the students learned that they were actually doing this to children, human beings,
46:48refused to sign. That's in the land of the free and the home of the brave. That's in the
47:00place where we have in God we trust on our money. Oh and by the way don't forget that some of the
47:09same stuff we're talking about and I ran because I have a you're gonna hear a show that I was able
47:15to interview a guest I won't spoil it but interview a guest here at NRB that the goal of the Islamic
47:22Republic following the 1979 revolution was to have a nation that follows to the
47:28tea what Islam requires. That's what that's what the Iranian Islamic Republic
47:36was supposed to be. And people who share that ideology many of them have
47:43migrated to our country, significant percentages of which would prefer to
47:51have the US Constitution supplemented. Should I say replaced with shurrying? Mm-hmm.
48:00Is there not a cause? Is there not a cause? Remember the old adage from the Roman Empire?
48:11Bread and circus. Remember that? As Rome was imploding, bread and circus kept the
48:18people distracted from what was actually happening. Do you think there's a little
48:23but it ain't going on in our own country.
48:27I am not, look, I still,
48:29this day love basketball.
48:31I still to this day.
48:32I just love some things more than basketball.
48:35But do you think there's some of the bread and circus
48:38going on here?
48:42Like we haven't had a budget, a formal budget past
48:45in over 40 years, do you realize that?
48:48So this emergency emergency, government shutdown,
48:51government shutdown, government shutdown emergency emergency,
48:53is that an accident or is that a product of, well,
48:56We got it. We've gotten away with it before.
49:05Government was never meant to be worshipped
49:07as central to all things America,
49:09based on the way our Constitution was formed.
49:16But we got people that want to grandstand.
49:19They don't want to serve the people.
49:24That's right, lots of bread and even more circus.
49:26Pshh, Sarah, you cooking?
49:30You're right.
49:33And we have people continuously distracted
49:37from what is most important.
49:44Our nation's 250th anniversary is just a couple months away.
49:50What kind of people will we be?
49:53My prayer and my hope is for the body of Christ
49:56and this audience in particular,
50:00that what is foremost required of a servant,
50:01that that servant is found faithful.
50:05May we be a part of our king's faithful remnant.
50:11And with the time that we have,
50:13this let's use every moment that our Lord affords us
50:19to work while it is dead, because eternity truly hangs in the balance.
50:25And then when it's all said and done, those of us who have found refuge in the eternal arc of safety,
50:31we will enjoy one another in the presence of our King forever.
