  1. 0:01Darkness is not an affirmative force.
  2. 0:04It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
  3. 0:08This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
  4. 0:12It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
  5. 0:16Delivery 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. 0:25Even in this dark moment.
  9. 0:27Let's not miss our moment.
  10. 0:30And now the Hamilton Corner.
  11. 0:32Oh indeed, let's not miss our moment.
  12. 0:39Good evening everyone.
  13. 0:40Welcome to the Hamilton Corner.
  14. 0:41My name is Abraham Hamilton the third host of the program joined by the produce extraordinaire
  15. 0:47often imitated but never duplicated the real.
  16. 0:50The real J-Mac.
  17. 0:52Y'all heard that out there.
  18. 0:53The real.
  19. 0:54Not all of these imitators.
  20. 0:56I'm telling you, man, since we've been calling you J-Mac, they got a whole bunch of other
  21. 1:01people.
  22. 1:02that's trying to be called J. Matt.
  23. 1:04You know, the dude on Colin Cowher,
  24. 1:08like, oh, that boy name is Jason.
  25. 1:11They call him Jason, you know what I mean?
  26. 1:13Anyway, at this very moment, many of you,
  27. 1:16if not most of you are making your transition
  28. 1:17from your part time jobs, where you generate an income
  29. 1:20to your full time jobs, where you and I, we all do it.
  30. 1:26We cultivate an outcome.
  31. 1:27And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so
  32. 1:29with intentionality, understanding the primacy
  33. 1:31that God places on family.
  34. 1:36Man, I am, I got so many thoughts going through my mind
  35. 1:41at the moment, you know, took some time to digest
  36. 1:45the state of the union address, you know.
  37. 1:49I feel like the state of the union address came,
  38. 1:51it included obviously President Trump's remarks,
  39. 1:55but all of the histrionics, he got, you know,
  40. 2:01Joyless Read with her people stated it is just I think all of it really is indicative of I
  41. 2:10Won't say the comprehensive
  42. 2:13Population of our country meaning me. I mean let me say that better. I don't meet every single person in a nation is represented by that
  43. 2:20but
  44. 2:21Some of the most influential sectors of our society was represented in this
  45. 2:26Address including the shenanigans and Tom Foolery in the audience
  46. 2:29some of the things that did not go addressed, you know.
  47. 2:36But anyway, before I get into all of that,
  48. 2:40I remind you about your full-time job,
  49. 2:43and which is also my full-time job with regularity,
  50. 2:48because we have to, and I know it may sound like,
  51. 2:50you know, I'm DJ Jazzy Jeff,
  52. 2:54with my repetitious mixes concerning making disciples,
  53. 3:02but guys, the only way forward for our nation is
  54. 3:04through proclaiming the Lord's gospel and making disciples.
  55. 3:07That's the only way, that's the only way.
  56. 3:11And the more we seek to find alternative investments
  57. 3:16and to pour ourselves into other areas
  58. 3:20without attending to the disciple making function,
  59. 3:24that we are setting ourselves up for disappointment, sure.
  60. 3:29But we create room for the types of things
  61. 3:33that we're witnessing on the national stage.
  62. 3:37I've said it repeatedly, I will continue to say it.
  63. 3:41I am grateful for people on the front lines.
  64. 3:43I'm grateful for having a man who I personally know
  65. 3:48is a brother in the faith
  66. 3:50as the speaker of the House of Representatives.
  67. 3:52And I know people have all kinds of things
  68. 3:54that wanna say I know that to be true personally.
  69. 3:57But if we have all of the offices,
  70. 4:00man, by people that we appreciate and respect,
  71. 4:02but we are not making disciples within our nation's populace.
  72. 4:07We are going to continue to see what we have seen.
  73. 4:13I mean, we often say it in passing,
  74. 4:15I've said it in passing things like,
  75. 4:18JFK couldn't get elected in today's Democrat party.
  76. 4:24Guys, it's a fact that Marxists have overthrown
  77. 4:29the Democrat party.
  78. 4:30That's a fact.
  79. 4:32That's why you had Abigail Spannberger,
  80. 4:35who campaigned as a moderate, who was governing as a Marxist,
  81. 4:38to do the response.
  82. 4:39That's why you have the New York City Islamianist as mayor.
  83. 4:48And you have this, it's so laughable when I saw that,
  84. 4:54I was almost speechless for about 30 seconds.
  85. 4:57And what I'm talking about, I saw that Mom Donnie
  86. 5:02invited emergency snow shovelers.
  87. 5:07I don't give you that.
  88. 5:09and the emergency snow shovelers had to show
  89. 5:12several forms of identification to shovel snow.
  90. 5:16Jeff, they had to have two photos,
  91. 5:20two versions of official ID,
  92. 5:22Aniston Social Security card to shovel snow in New York City.
  93. 5:31And somebody's saying folks,
  94. 5:32because he's a member of the Democratic
  95. 5:33Socialists of America.
  96. 5:36That's the political affiliation that
  97. 5:38Mom-dominis has, has.
  98. 5:41And the DSA opposes voter ID.
  99. 5:46Now think about that, you gotta have ID to shovel snow,
  100. 5:52but you don't not.
  101. 5:54We don't want you to have to have an ID to vote.
  102. 5:57Now somebody squared that circle for me.
  103. 6:01This is why guys, to the word we go,
  104. 6:04to the word of God we go,
  105. 6:05because you cannot make sense of this insanity.
  106. 6:07It is beyond logic.
  107. 6:12The brother Abdu Murray coined the phrase,
  108. 6:15a post-truth culture.
  109. 6:16We are far afield from post-modernism.
  110. 6:20That ship has sailed.
  111. 6:24When you have people who will endorse and support
  112. 6:30identification being required to shovel snow,
  113. 6:35but the same people will not support identification,
  114. 6:39voter identification to vote,
  115. 6:42is because they want to make it easier
  116. 6:44to cheat during the vote, and they are no longer ashamed to say that publicly.
  117. 6:53To the word of God we go, Matthew chapter 5, man.
  118. 6:57Verses 13 through 16, this is a part of Jesus' longest recorded sermon, the sermon on the
  119. 7:02Mount, and he says this, you are the salt of the earth.
  120. 7:07If the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again?
  121. 7:13It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.
  122. 7:20You are the light of the world.
  123. 7:22A city set on a hill cannot be hidden, nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket,
  124. 7:29but on the lampstand.
  125. 7:31And it gives light to all who are in the house.
  126. 7:34Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works and glorify
  127. 7:42your Father who is in heaven."
  128. 7:49The Father's glory is the objective of our sultan light duty.
  129. 7:55The Father's glory.
  130. 7:59The Father's glory and seeing the eternal family of God expanded as individual image
  131. 8:06bearers surrendered themselves to Him in faith and repentance and experience regeneration.
  132. 8:16The Father is glorified as these people who have been born again by the power of the Spirit
  133. 8:21of God.
  134. 8:27Their eyes are opened to the transcendent value of living, surrendered lives, living lives
  135. 8:39of surrender.
  136. 8:40I've explained numerous times on this show, and this is just one aspect of, you know, of
  137. 8:50my life.
  138. 8:51But I never sought to be on the radio.
  139. 8:57I never sought a microphone.
  140. 9:01So I was speaking at any event in a child's ass, how do you, what do you do to get into
  141. 9:05radio?
  142. 9:06What did you do to get into radio was a question.
  143. 9:08And I said, honestly, I can't answer that question
  144. 9:09because I didn't do anything to get into radio.
  145. 9:12What I found to be the most effective life advice
  146. 9:18is to obey the Lord's leading.
  147. 9:24If you've been listening to this show,
  148. 9:25or watching this show for any length of time,
  149. 9:27you know my testimony in this regard
  150. 9:29that I didn't join the American Family Association
  151. 9:31to do anything on the radio.
  152. 9:34The only thing at that time, I sense the Lord leading me
  153. 9:36toward was when AFA's president informed me that their general counsel was preparing to
  154. 9:43retire and they wanted me to be the replacement for the retiring the outgoing general counsel.
  155. 9:53My agreement was solely to do the legal side, the legal work that I still continue to do
  156. 9:57now behind the scenes.
  157. 9:59That was the only thing I was agreeing to do.
  158. 10:03But because God is smarter than we are, wiser than we are because he knows the end of a
  159. 10:07thing from the beginning, he knew that his plan was for me to be right here behind this
  160. 10:12microphone right now.
  161. 10:14I didn't know that.
  162. 10:15But what I did know is that the God that I had entrusted my eternity to and with whom
  163. 10:27I was blessed to cultivate a relationship with was worthy of being trusted with my life
  164. 10:34direction.
  165. 10:35That's what I did know.
  166. 10:40And what an adventure it has been following the Lord.
  167. 10:43of things have occurred that led to me meeting my life partner, my wife, my best friend, which
  168. 10:59drives me to this, the first verse that we read, if the salt has lost his saver, man,
  169. 11:03what is it good for? What is it good for? We have too much of the professing body of Christ,
  170. 11:10chasing the acclaim, the approval of the world. And it's a fool's errand because the world
  171. 11:20will only accept you on its terms.
  172. 11:25To say it differently, the world only accepts worldliness.
  173. 11:30Why isn't it enough to be peculiar?
  174. 11:35What is it about Christ that makes him unworthy
  175. 11:42of following even when it makes us unpopular?
  176. 11:46With the broad road, instead of being salt and light,
  177. 11:52man, we've largely become lightly salted.
  178. 11:54We try to out world the world,
  179. 11:55We're trying to out-entertain the world.
  180. 11:57We really feel good about ourselves
  181. 12:00when the world recognizes our claim.
  182. 12:03It's kinda like the Christians wanting a Grammy.
  183. 12:07And I understand that the Grammy awards
  184. 12:09represent kinda the zenith of accomplishment for music.
  185. 12:15But why do we care?
  186. 12:16Why do you care so much?
  187. 12:18And I'm not trying to be like a funny duddy.
  188. 12:19Everybody enjoys being appreciated,
  189. 12:22especially if you have a skill or a profession
  190. 12:25or something you've worked at.
  191. 12:27I enjoy thoroughly seeing people execute something they've dedicated themselves to for their entire lives
  192. 12:32Some things more than others. We just had the Olympics
  193. 12:35Somebody had to explain to me how curling became an Olympic sport
  194. 12:38Because if you ask me what it is, you know, you're rolling a ball and we played cool can in the one
  195. 12:44It's called cool can we know nothing about quick cricket really cool can't really just cricket
  196. 12:48But they're using they call them things the stones rolling on ice and then they using the Swiffer Dusters
  197. 12:53You could swiffer faster
  198. 12:55You know, so that's not one I appreciate, you know, and then the lose can they what is the lose the lose? You just I
  199. 13:05Call that nap time when I'm from you know who can get the best nap posture that that's an Olympic sport
  200. 13:10So that's not included but man being able to see
  201. 13:12Like skis or whatever I appreciate people have a skill that they've dedicated themselves to this Xs shows exercise of self-discipline
  202. 13:19Seeking to maximize their talent to accomplish different things
  203. 13:23So understand that people enjoy being appreciative of different things
  204. 13:26but I'm talking about for us as believers.
  205. 13:29Why do we care?
  206. 13:30Why do we care if the world thinks we're great?
  207. 13:33Why?
  208. 13:35Why?
  209. 13:38And this is not the case universally.
  210. 13:40I'm not saying I know everybody's hearts,
  211. 13:41everybody's minds, but often that is the case because
  212. 13:47we think little of Jesus.
  213. 13:50Jesus's approval is not enough.
  214. 13:56And I'm thinking about this, the salt losing its savor,
  215. 14:02The consistent effort to cast off our American system of government is because as John Adams said,
  216. 14:09our nation, our nation's constitution is only adequate for religious and moral people.
  217. 14:17The religion John Adams was talking about was Christianity. Our constitutional form of government
  218. 14:22is wholly inadequate for the governance of any other. What we see tumbling around us guys is simply
  219. 14:31the revelation of the necessity for the gospel to be propounded once again in
  220. 14:38power in our nation. In next coming weeks I'm gonna share some things I won't do it
  221. 14:48today but I want to share some things simply calling on our nation for a time
  222. 14:54of prayer and fasting because repentance is our most desperate need.

  234. 15:37Shining light into the darkness, this
  235. 15:39is the Hamilton Quarter, an American family radio.
  236. 15:44Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here.
  237. 15:49Just was, I was just reflecting on the state of the union address and, um, you
  238. 15:53know, President Trump appropriately highlighted, um, quite pointedly the
  239. 15:59insanity that insanity that's present in the Democrat party.
  240. 16:04Um, and then he did it.
  241. 16:06He was a pro, it was right for him to do so, you know, it doesn't matter.
  242. 16:11I've said it before, President Trump can cure cancer and people will say, oh,
  243. 16:20President Trump's cancer elimination strategy is a problem. You know, it's crazy. And they want to
  244. 16:30acknowledge the reduction in inflation and the strength of the stock market. And I understand the
  245. 16:36stock market is not the economy. And we should never conflict the stock market with the economy.
  246. 16:41but it is an economic factor. It is a factor that should be considered. But we have to come to grips
  247. 16:50with some things that are just, they are signs of the difficulty of our times.
  248. 17:05How do we, have we wrestled with the fact that we have people like Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar
  249. 17:17in our Congress. That is just wild. I mean, these people are radicals and I believe that
  250. 17:31they are at a minimum, I would say, demonically charged. I mean, Rashida Tlaib, am I tripping?
  251. 17:51Or was she wearing watermelon earrings, which indicated her solidarity with the the terrorists in Gaza, you know, like Hamas.
  252. 18:04You know, she's wearing watermelon earrings and solidarity with these people.
  253. 18:11And it is documented evidence that these people murdered babies and old people and raped us.
  254. 18:26Used rape as a tactic.
  255. 18:31I'm not struggling to communicate necessarily.
  256. 18:41I'm struggling to be very careful in what I say.
  257. 18:48Because this is our National Congress.
  258. 18:55And I get it.
  259. 18:57Like people will say, well Abe,
  260. 18:59You know, I'm not from the district that elected her and I'm not, but she has been elected in her
  261. 19:06involvement in our Congress affects all of us. You have Ilhan Omar who was stated that she's in
  262. 19:23Congress to advocate for the interests of Somalia. Think about that. And just a couple weeks ago,
  263. 19:35when they had the hearing on the rise of Sharia in America and you had we referred to the Muslim
  264. 19:41Brotherhood document that says they want that the Muslim Brotherhood intends to use our own legal
  265. 19:46system against us. You have you know predictable you know Democrat regressive being thrown out
  266. 19:57of the state of union even after you had everything that happened previously you still still gonna
  267. 20:00put on that show and and there's been a degradation of our Congress you know to to political theater
  268. 20:08man, it's political theater. It is political theater. So President Trump's broadside against
  269. 20:17these regressives was appropriate. But in addition to things that were done and said that were problematic,
  270. 20:25did you also notice that President Trump didn't say anything about abortion? You know, you'll recall
  271. 20:31in his first administration that he repeatedly described himself as the most pro-life president
  272. 20:36in American history. I mean, notice none of that talk is happening these days. And guys,
  273. 20:44and I understand, I know, you know, about political expediency and all of these things.
  274. 20:52And, and I also, and one, I understand that President Trump has his own ideology. He is not a,
  275. 20:58a, a, a constitutionalist. And I was, as I would describe it, he's more of a pragmatic populist.
  276. 21:05I get that. But for the status of our country, I mean, because this is a state of the union address,
  277. 21:16it's interesting to me that while you have the histrionics going on in the audience,
  278. 21:25the Republican president is speaking, but there's no conversation concerning the protection of
  279. 21:29innocent human life. No, I understand it's not it's not politically expedient to talk about this.
  280. 21:37But we have what we have in this binary generally in our country, we have the
  281. 21:47Democrat Party that has been taken over. That has been taken over. I mean we could
  282. 21:52talk about the history. There used to be a Communist Party USA. It still exists but
  283. 21:58many of its former members simply have become Democrats. You know and then you
  284. 22:02have the Republican Party largely that enjoys playing the role of spunky
  285. 22:09minority party, you know, like, it's just tailors old, old as
  286. 22:14time. When the Democrats, I'm sorry, when the Republicans are
  287. 22:18the majority in the Senate, they don't really do much. But
  288. 22:22they make red meat, conservative speeches in campaign for elections.
  289. 22:26But they don't really do anything like, like the whole idea
  290. 22:30of requiring the filibuster rule to be tweaked ever so slightly
  291. 22:36to require any US senator that wants to filibuster
  292. 22:40a measure or a vote that you actually have to be physically present in the Senate chamber and speak.
  293. 22:48Is that, do you see that as a high bar? Jeff, do you see that as a high bar? If you want to do a filibuster,
  294. 22:58you got to actually, you have to actually be in the Senate and talk. But what we have, and they call it a fake
  295. 23:07filibuster, I can't really even call it a fake filibuster. You just got, well we have now, we have the filibuster email.
  296. 23:12And so the way the filibuster email works is well, I don't like this measure.
  297. 23:18I don't like this vote.
  298. 23:19I'm going to send my email.
  299. 23:21I'm going to send my text massage and tell everybody I don't like this and I don't
  300. 23:26want us to vote on it.
  301. 23:27So filibuster and then then you go to the Hamptons and the entire business of the
  302. 23:35Senate as it applies to this measure.
  303. 23:41It doesn't know to go for it.
  304. 23:42And it is a thing.
  305. 23:43The email filibuster or the text message filibuster.
  306. 23:47Well, a lot of Senate to go do other stuff.
  307. 23:49See the whole point of the filibuster of the once most deliberative body in the nation was
  308. 23:57that the business of the Senate has to stop because this measure is so important that this
  309. 24:01Senator has taken it upon themselves to stop the business of the Senate to require the entire
  310. 24:06body to give attention to the remarks as poignant and pertinent and important as they are because
  311. 24:12we cannot allow any other business to take place because this matter is so important.
  312. 24:18I think my stop and I must be heard on this.
  313. 24:21But with the fake filibuster,
  314. 24:22the email for the Buster the text message for the Buster.
  315. 24:25I'm a fellow, I'm a text my filibuster on this.
  316. 24:28We do all this stuff.
  317. 24:30We don't go do all this stuff.
  318. 24:32But we not going to do anything on this bill.
  319. 24:36Guys, I'm just tired of it.
  320. 24:38I'm tired of it.
  321. 24:39I'm tired of it.
  322. 24:40I'm tired of the government shutdowns.
  323. 24:42That's the predictable government shutdowns.
  324. 24:45You pass a nine month continuing resolution.
  325. 24:48You know you're not gonna pass a whole budget.
  326. 24:50You have this political posturing,
  327. 24:52all these things going on over and over and over again.
  328. 24:56I'm just tired of it.
  329. 24:57I'm just tired of it.
  330. 24:58And then we have a populace
  331. 25:00that has been intentionally deprived of civic education.
  332. 25:03We have a populace that has been intentionally deprived
  333. 25:05of reasoning and logic and understanding.
  334. 25:08We have a populace that is largely intentionally deprived
  335. 25:11of study and history, intentionally deprived
  336. 25:16of any conversant understanding in economics,
  337. 25:19and it just has tenderized us and made us pliable,
  338. 25:22made us passable, made us weak.
  339. 25:25It's made us weak.
  340. 25:30And so you have these predictable shenanigans
  341. 25:32during the State of the Union address.
  342. 25:33I mean, the whole idea of wanting to conduct yourself
  343. 25:35in such a manner to where our nation is respected
  344. 25:38by our citizens, to where our nation is respected
  345. 25:40around the world.
  346. 25:41And I'm not laying the blame of this
  347. 25:43and on any particular individuals.
  348. 25:48But I remember, I remember, I personally remember,
  349. 25:51I'm not as old as some people, but I personally remember that was,
  350. 25:54it was a big deal to continue to talk about how, you know,
  351. 25:57Bill Clinton, for example,
  352. 25:58demeaned the office of the presidency, degraded the office of the presidency.
  353. 26:07You know, and it's, it's a sickening phenomenon to where it's not where we are,
  354. 26:17where we are.
  355. 26:18And in y'all know,
  356. 26:19I'm an equal opportunity truth,
  357. 26:20teller, there been things that President Trump has said that I was just like,
  358. 26:23man, what?
  359. 26:26And I understand the reality of the moment.
  360. 26:27I understand that we are at a place where the nation appreciated, appreciates
  361. 26:32plain spokenness and a willingness to be direct and frankly a willingness to
  362. 26:35refuse political correctness.
  363. 26:40But at the same time while we refuse in political correctness, don't tell me
  364. 26:44that, you know, you're asking about the Epstein files and all who's still talking
  365. 26:46about that. Nobody's still talking about that.
  366. 26:48When you know people are talking about it.
  367. 26:51I'm just sick of it all, man.
  368. 26:53I'm sick of it all.
  369. 26:54Sick of the two tier justice system.
  370. 26:56I'm sick of these people, you know, they want to cry racism all day long about
  371. 27:02You know, who knows what, but won't even raise a finger to recognize.
  372. 27:05You know, it's racist to force children born into neighborhoods to go to schools where the
  373. 27:11children ain't even learning to read, but you're still going to make them go there so that the
  374. 27:14teachers unions could keep getting money.
  375. 27:18You know, like, I mean, come on, man, I'm from a city and people know, largely speaking, in
  376. 27:24my city, there are only a few public schools where you can go to to get a decent shot at
  377. 27:33learning.
  378. 27:36But the majority of the people, if they could, they would send their children to private schools
  379. 27:41and in most places around the country.
  380. 27:42That's the same thing.
  381. 27:43The same is true.
  382. 27:44But we're going to keep a system in place when we know our populace is illiterate, when
  383. 27:49we know we have eighth graders that are not even proficient at history, when we have children
  384. 27:54that are not even proficient in civics education, when we have children that don't even know
  385. 27:59how to read and we spend more money per student on education than any other nation in the
  386. 28:03world.
  387. 28:04And we gonna just keep that going in the name of what?
  388. 28:09And I'm just sick of it, man.
  389. 28:11I'm sick of it.
  390. 28:17You got all these people, these apologists,
  391. 28:19and I watch them cause I try to keep up
  392. 28:21with what's being spoken.
  393. 28:23They'll say it's a problem
  394. 28:25because we need people to prove their citizenship
  395. 28:28to register to vote in our country.
  396. 28:32If you are so certain, and this is how you know
  397. 28:34this is a lie, guys, if you are so confident
  398. 28:37that people are not voting illegally in our elections,
  399. 28:40Why do you care if we require them to prove their citizenship to register?
  400. 28:48That's because deep down you know it's true.
  401. 28:52And you want to use like provocative language.
  402. 28:54This is a return to Jim Crow because you know your position is flawed on the merits.
  403. 29:00So you want to make up an alternative emotional appeal to get people to agree
  404. 29:06with you against their own benefit.
  405. 29:11and this Nancy Pelosi tearing up the speech from speech in his first term, remember that?
  406. 29:24But if you really pay attention, you zoom out, Congress and hardly pass any bills in the first
  407. 29:29place, not anything substitute. The majority of the stuff they're passing, some of those
  408. 29:32have the street being renamed and so and so is having this little thing going on. But
  409. 29:36you don't even have a bunch of bills getting passed. But you have these little convenient
  410. 29:48Exclusions, you know, like we'll pass an Obamacare, but we'll exempt the Congress
  411. 29:53from Obamacare in its requirements. Of course. We have a government shutdown and federal employees
  412. 29:59don't get paid, but Congress still gets paid. The American people are tired of it, man. I'm tired
  413. 30:07of it. I'm tired of it. But as I'm describing being tired of it, you know, one of the unspoken
  414. 30:15realities that's contributing to all of the shenanigans. It's a professing church that's lost
  415. 30:22it's safer. Over time, we have conducted ourselves in a way that has led to a diminished significance
  416. 30:37within our societies. And I'm not trying to place the whole of the blame in this manner,
  417. 30:49but we need to be honest about it. But the beautiful thing, man, about the grace of God and
  418. 30:54the mercy of our God is that we can turn. We can change course. You know, people often refer to
  419. 31:02the second chronicle 714 scripture referring to the people of God. If my people who are called by
  420. 31:08my name will humble themselves and repent and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from
  421. 31:17heaven, then I will heal their land. The turn must happen within the family of God first.
  422. 31:29It is a contracting bride of Christ in our nation that has led room for the ever so slight
  423. 31:43encroachments to occur.
  424. 31:48And those ever so slight encroachments compile over time to accumulate over time.
  425. 31:58To now we have the watermelon earring wearing Rashida to leave in our Congress.
  426. 32:07But if we will turn then, if we will turn, there's no question.
  427. 32:11as the wood could be done in our society, but it has to start in our homes, with our families.
  428. 32:17It has to start with us.
  429. 32:20Lord, help us to see and understand the time that we're in.
  430. 32:23Okay, this is crazy, and I can't believe it even has to be said, but only U.S. citizens
  431. 32:33should vote in U.S. elections. It's common sense, but Republican Senator John Foon and
  432. 32:38some of his fellow senators aren't sure if they want to vote to pass H.R.22, also known as the
  433. 32:44the SAVE Act. It requires proof of U.S. citizenship and a valid voter ID to register and vote
  434. 32:50in federal elections. Join us in calling on our senators to support and pass the SAVE Act.

  436. 32:58The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Bitted Common Terrets are available at AFR.NET.
  437. 33:10Back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
  438. 33:15Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the Third.
  439. 33:18Here I've been announcing this and because we are
  440. 33:23Rapidly approaching I'm it'll be here
  441. 33:30Before you know it
  442. 33:32Number three well, it'll be here before you know it March 27th through the 29th
  443. 33:37I will be ministering at the Kingdom come conference at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale
  444. 33:45Florida
  445. 33:46Which is as I've been mentioning the church that was founded by the late D James Kennedy?
  446. 33:51And some of the people I'm looking forward to hearing at this conference include obviously
  447. 33:56our friend and brother Bill Federer, Rosaria Butterfield.
  448. 34:02I've never had the chance to hear her in person.
  449. 34:04I'm looking forward to that.
  450. 34:06Oz Guinness, you know, a tremendous thinker and writer and just those are just some of the
  451. 34:14people that will be there and I will be speaking at the conference as well.
  452. 34:18That is March 27th through 29th.
  453. 34:23Looking forward to that.
  454. 34:24If you're in the area, well, and then come to the area, this will be a tremendous conference.
  455. 34:28The subtitle for the conference, the Kingdom Come conference is Kingdom Citizenship.
  456. 34:34Being a Kingdom citizen, what is that?
  457. 34:38In tail.
  458. 34:39And so Eric Metaxas will be speaking at the church, Pastor Rob Passienza is the host of
  459. 34:45the conference and pastor of the Cool Ridge Presbyterian Church.
  460. 34:48So looking forward to that conference, and I'd love to meet you if you're in the area,
  461. 34:53will come to the area at the conference March 27th through the 29th.
  462. 34:59All right.
  463. 35:00I'm going to read to you now some of the specific requirements.
  464. 35:06And this is what is posted on the New York City Sanitation Department's website for emergency
  465. 35:14See snow shovelers in New York City, which is department that is under the behest and auspices
  466. 35:23of one islamianist mayor, zoron mom Donnie.
  467. 35:28The New York City website says that any person who seeks to register as an emergency snow shoveler,
  468. 35:38okay, an emergency snow shoveler, they must provide here are the requirements.
  469. 35:43must provide two not one two small photos to suit two two small photos
  470. 35:50sized one to one and a half square inches two original forms of identity
  471. 35:56identification plus copies and your social security card did you get two
  472. 36:05small photos one to one and a half square inches two original forms of ID plus
  473. 36:09copies and your social security card all of that is needed in order for you to
  474. 36:15register not even for you to be hired but in order for you to register to apply to
  475. 36:21become an emergency snow shoveler in New York City that is what they require of you
  476. 36:27does anybody see the hypocrisy here anyone anyone so and I need a shovel snow the
  477. 36:44No, no, no, no ID to vote though. No ID to vote. Guys, this is just another example. I mean, I pointed out the Democrat party largely opposes the notion of a voter ID, even though they're voters though the Democrat party, the party as an entity opposes it.
  478. 37:09But the voters support the measure.
  479. 37:13Upwards of 76% of the population all across the board support the measure.
  480. 37:1983% of Americans now, all Americans.
  481. 37:26An overwhelming majority of Democrats voters prefer voter ID.
  482. 37:30But the party doesn't.
  483. 37:32I wonder why.
  484. 37:35Yeah, I wonder why.
  485. 37:41That is another example of what I'm saying that demonstrates the insanity that persists.
  486. 37:53You hear it all the time.
  487. 37:54Darkness is not an affirmative force, but it does reoccupied the space that's vacated
  488. 37:59by the light.
  489. 38:04It does reoccupied the space that was vacated by the light.
  490. 38:09You know, one of the things in the foundation summit that I've been attending here in Greenville,
  491. 38:16South Carolina, we're still here.
  492. 38:19Zann Tyler's just, man, she's a woman small of stature,
  493. 38:24but her and her husband Joe, man, these are people.
  494. 38:28And I know they're not big name and lights kind of people,
  495. 38:30but these are people who in my estimation
  496. 38:32are heroes in the faith.
  497. 38:34She reflected on Ronald Reagan's quote
  498. 38:37for one part of the presentation,
  499. 38:39and this is not one of her entire presentation.
  500. 38:42But you often hear people refer to Ronald Reagan's quote
  501. 38:44that freedom is never more than one generation
  502. 38:46away from extinction, right?
  503. 38:50Well, that quote goes on to say,
  504. 38:54otherwise we'll be in a time period
  505. 38:59where we're telling our children and our children's children
  506. 39:03and we'll reflect upon the days
  507. 39:07when in the United States of America, people were free.
  508. 39:13There was a time in the United States of America
  509. 39:15when people were free.
  510. 39:18And for so many of us, that's hard to fathom.
  511. 39:21But when you think about following October 7th,
  512. 39:25did you see all of the colleges and universities
  513. 39:28that had protests supporting?
  514. 39:31I must kinda like the watermelon earring wearer.
  515. 39:35Isn't that an interesting phenomenon?
  516. 39:38Kind of like a watermelon earring wearer.
  517. 39:45You know, where just at the very moment
  518. 39:47where you had a 20 something year old young dude
  519. 39:50who just had an iPhone and he had the audacity
  520. 39:54to walk around to the quality leering centers in Minneapolis in the Minneapolis area. And
  521. 40:00all of these places, they're getting federal tax dollars for children's daycare centers,
  522. 40:08daycare centers, daycare centers and things of that nature. And you mean to tell me, nobody?
  523. 40:17Nope, not one, not one person thought about, man, I wonder how this federal money is being
  524. 40:23spent in Minnesota. Let's go take a tour around the quality, quality leering centers.
  525. 40:29And then almost on a time, guys on a dime. Soon after it's found that the governor is complicit,
  526. 40:36a couple billion dollars, not a couple eight plus billion dollars. Just missing, we don't know
  527. 40:39where this is going. subpoenas being delivered to Jacob Fry and then the next thing you know,
  528. 40:49Oh, well, you know what?
  529. 40:51Ice is the problem in Minneapolis.
  530. 40:54Isn't that remarkable how that tends to happen?
  531. 40:57How do you reconcile the type of hypocrisy
  532. 41:06that will have a party position to where they oppose voter ID,
  533. 41:12but in order to do a job in the city,
  534. 41:15a job as a simple job like clearing snow,
  535. 41:20you got to have ID for that.
  536. 41:21The registrants must apply an ID for that.
  537. 41:28It is a puzzling phenomenon to recognize a quite puzzling phenomenon to recognize.
  538. 41:46Did you also notice at the, I mean, again, this goes back to the insanity that's being allowed
  539. 41:53and being welcomed as normal in our country. Did you notice how during the state of the union address,
  540. 42:03the young lady who was murdered on the train in North Carolina when President Trump sought
  541. 42:08to honor her memory. And you don't have people. It's not okay to honor the memory of a person
  542. 42:17who was brutally murdered and is all on camera and the whole country saw it. That's a problem.
  543. 42:22We don't have the humanity. We don't have the humanity to stand and guess not if partisan
  544. 42:30politics are in the way. If partisan politics are in the way, we don't have any room for humanity.
  545. 42:40And it's just a disgusting display.
  546. 42:47It's a disgusting display, but it's a predictably disgusting display.
  547. 42:54Because while I'm asking these questions,
  548. 42:56where any of you surprised by any of that,
  549. 42:58and I don't know how to do you like,
  550. 42:59hey, we didn't watch that. That's why we listen to you.
  551. 43:01We know you are watching for us,
  552. 43:05so we don't have to listen to and watch that garbage.
  553. 43:08I get that.
  554. 43:10And I guess I signed up for that.
  555. 43:11I signed up for it.
  556. 43:13as one of the things my wife does not like about my work
  557. 43:16that the
  558. 43:18say if you watch the whole thing
  559. 43:20the whole thing a
  560. 43:22and
  561. 43:28it is
  562. 43:32troublesome
  563. 43:34and it is interesting that president trumps from our state of the union was the longest state of the union address and history
  564. 43:40of the
  565. 43:44And the reason why I'm laughing is
  566. 43:48These people while they knew behind the scenes like once president Trump
  567. 43:53One reelection you have all these people trying to come out and say well
  568. 43:56You do know, you know, Mr. Joseph Robin at Biden went to sleep at 4 p.m. Every day
  569. 44:00I was like you people were trying to tell us this man was running the White House, you know
  570. 44:04He's doing auto pin parns and all of the stuff and y'all doing all this stuff and you covering and I'm not gonna read
  571. 44:11He go back over all of these things, but these things are galling to me.
  572. 44:15Like, like I shared with you guys how Jake Tapper was one of the main ones.
  573. 44:18I mean, he went in on Lara Trump when she's had the audacity to say that, you know, this
  574. 44:23dude is not really, he can't really articulate his use.
  575. 44:26Is he really competent to do the job?
  576. 44:30And he went, he harpoons Lara Trump, then he has audacity to write a book.
  577. 44:36So what they deceived us, they deceived us.
  578. 44:48concern and I've been saying this all along that these people who are the
  579. 44:56regressive who are I call them regressive institutionalists these are the people
  580. 45:01that populate what we refer to as the deep state because they were able to do
  581. 45:06this in the first Trump administration their plan is to I mean we just saw the
  582. 45:17men's and women's US hockey teams win the national win the gold medals they are
  583. 45:23playing goalie against anything President Trump could do legislatively. Obviously, we know there's slim majorities in the US House of Representatives.
  584. 45:31There's a larger majority in the Senate, but if you can do an email or text message filibuster,
  585. 45:40you're not getting anything done in the Senate, except for the annual reconciliation package, which thanks to the parliamentarian tends to exclusively be
  586. 45:51financial policy, primarily financial appropriations bills and tax policies.
  587. 45:59But I'm much anything other than that.
  588. 46:02And so what they do is use the hockey analogy.
  589. 46:05They're playing goalie or to use the football analogy.
  590. 46:09They're just blocking big lime and blocking, keeping anything from happening domestically.
  591. 46:13That can be an enduring change.
  592. 46:16They'll stomach still try to, you know, lie about it, do spins about it about different
  593. 46:24things on the foreign policy front, but they're not really concerned with stopping in totality,
  594. 46:34President Trump's foreign policy agenda, because they know generally speaking that while foreign
  595. 46:40foreign policy can help an incumbent party.
  596. 46:47Foreign policy alone is not going to win the day.
  597. 46:53It can help.
  598. 46:54Foreign policy can be a great help and you can discuss it.
  599. 46:57There are ways to, you know, to communicate to the American people concerning the foreign
  600. 47:00policy victories and things of that nature.
  601. 47:03But when it gets right down to it, there's going to be questions and challenges unless
  602. 47:08something changes.
