  1. 0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
  2. 0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
  3. 0:07This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
  4. 0:11It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
  5. 0:15Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
  6. 0:18And the philosophies of this world.
  7. 0:20God has called you and me to be his ambassador.
  8. 0:24Even in this dark moment.
  9. 0:26Let's not miss our moment.
  10. 0:28And now the Hamilton Corner.
  11. 0:33Good evening, everyone.
  12. 0:35Welcome to the Hamilton Corner.
  13. 0:36My name is Abraham Hamilton.
  14. 0:38The third I am the host of this program joined by the corner
  15. 0:40contingent right across from me, my man, 100 grand Mr. Bobby.
  16. 0:46Rosa, who by the way, is taking note of the 82nd Airborne in
  17. 0:52route to certain waters in an area that rhymes with schmiddle
  18. 0:58yeast.
  19. 1:00You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.
  20. 1:03Well, I don't know, Rahm, Rahm Alinsky.
  21. 1:08Also in the screening room, produce extraordinaire.
  22. 1:14Don't get too close to him, because you might get cut.
  23. 1:19The man is so sharp, produce extraordinaire.
  24. 1:21Often imitated, never duplicated,
  25. 1:23smelling like a full can of barberslaw.
  26. 1:25Fresh from the barbershop.
  27. 1:30Mr. J. Mac, ladies and gentlemen.
  28. 1:36We are ready to rock and roll with the day's edition
  29. 1:38the program. At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you already, are already making
  30. 1:46your transition from your part-time jobs where you generate an income to your full-time jobs
  31. 1:51where you cultivate an outcome. And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality,
  32. 1:57understanding the primacy that God places on the family and allowing God's view to inform,
  33. 2:04govern and guide your engagement in your families. We must, we must refuse to allow the hemorrhaging
  34. 2:14to continue in our families. When I say hemorrhaging, I want to be very clear about something. The
  35. 2:22scripture teaches that God has instructed parents to lead in making disciples of our children.
  36. 2:30The organizational church's role is supplementary to the parents' role, but the church's role
  37. 2:37is to equip the saints for the work of ministry, which includes equipping parents to understand
  38. 2:44what God has called them to.
  39. 2:46So one of the things that has to happen, I would argue with, as to borrow a phrase from
  40. 2:52Dave Ramsey, gazelle-like intensity is for churches to proclaim with repetition and from
  41. 3:01the highest perch possible and to equip parents to lead in this ministerial engagement.
  42. 3:10One of the major realities that is unfolded in our country is that each lurched towards
  43. 3:17secularism, to rejection of God as corresponded with retrenchments in the family combined with,
  44. 3:24I would argue a demonic onslaught against the family.
  45. 3:34But by God's grace, we can reverse that.
  46. 3:38We must reverse that and we have to understand
  47. 3:41the proper perspective as our founders have repeatedly
  48. 3:45told us, George Washington said, religion and morality
  49. 3:48are indispensable supports of our constitutional republic.
  50. 3:51It's the bottom line.
  51. 3:52We should not be surprised that the failure
  52. 3:56of discipling generations of Americans as
  53. 4:00corresponded with younger generations of Americans,
  54. 4:03more and more demonstrating, more and more willingness,
  55. 4:06to cast off our form of government.
  56. 4:11We shouldn't be surprised about that.
  57. 4:13But the lack of, let me say this,
  58. 4:16the political implications are downstream
  59. 4:19from the discipleship implications.
  60. 4:22And that's what we have to understand.
  61. 4:27And if we have that in place,
  62. 4:28we wouldn't be surprised, for example.
  63. 4:30And this really should make it abundantly clear, right?
  64. 4:33We wouldn't be surprised, for example,
  65. 4:35that the same party that have declared the Save America Act
  66. 4:39as Jim Crow 2.0, that opposes citizenship demonstrations
  67. 4:45and photo ID to vote is also the same party
  68. 4:48that supported open borders.
  69. 4:50Isn't that amazing?
  70. 4:52You think that's a coin getting, Mr. Rose,
  71. 4:55you think that's a coincidence?
  72. 4:57that is, is,
  73. 4:58seem to be kind of consistent thought, right?
  74. 5:02Hmm, I do not support citizenship requirements for voting.
  75. 5:08I also do not support the preservation
  76. 5:12of our national border.
  77. 5:16That's not surprising, man.
  78. 5:18Because the simple reality is
  79. 5:25that transformation via the word of God produces discernment.
  80. 5:31to that point to the word of God we go Joshua not Joshua judges chapter two we
  81. 5:36were in judges yesterday I want to go back here man my eyes filled with tears
  82. 5:43when I read this and when I read it now for you you were probably going to
  83. 5:50understand why Joshua chapter not Joshua judges judges chapter two the reason
  84. 5:56why I keep saying Joshua is because Joshua was mentioned in the passage
  85. 6:00Judges chapter 2, verses 7 through 10.
  86. 6:04Judges chapter 2, verses 7 through 10.
  87. 6:10This is what God's word says.
  88. 6:16The people served the Lord all the days of Joshua.
  89. 6:21And all the days of the elders who survived Joshua,
  90. 6:25who had seen all the great work of the Lord,
  91. 6:28which he had done for Israel.
  92. 6:35Verse 8, then Joshua, the son of none,
  93. 6:37the servant of the Lord died at the age of 110. And they buried him in the territory of his inheritance
  94. 6:43in Timnath-Herez in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gosh. Verse 10, and this is what I
  95. 6:51want to direct your attention to. All that generation also were gathered to their fathers,
  96. 6:59and there arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord, nor yet the work
  97. 7:08which he had done for Israel.
  98. 7:13Now, one of the things that's interesting about this passage is in verse 10, when it says,
  99. 7:19there arose another generation who did not know the Lord, the word know in Hebrew,
  100. 7:24Yaddah, which is the exact same word that is used in Proverbs chapter 3 verse 6.
  101. 7:29When verse 5, the scripture says, do not lean into your own understandings,
  102. 7:34but trust in the Lord and acknowledge him. The word for acknowledge there is Yaddah,
  103. 7:39which means it far exceeds mere mental ascent. It is a carrying forward of the full scope,
  104. 7:50breath, width, depth, length and height, height of the reality of who God is into the real time,
  105. 7:57present engagements that we pursue. Here the scripture is showing us, man, and it's a
  106. 8:05hebraic formula that as I read it, many of you recalled, that's the same verb,
  107. 8:15that was employed in Egypt when there was a Pharaoh who arose who did not know Joseph.
  108. 8:21Remember that?
  109. 8:24It's the phrasing that portends danger.
  110. 8:30Now you would think about this to a people who have been given instruction like Deuteronomy
  111. 8:366, you shall love the Lord, the schma, Elohim, Elohim, the instruction that you shall love
  112. 8:47love the Lord with all of your heart.
  113. 8:52Love the Lord with all that you are, and you shall teach this diligently to your children.
  114. 8:59Yet with that instruction as a backdrop, the Lord is showing us that there was a generation
  115. 9:10in Israel who did not heed that command.
  116. 9:15And on their watch, on their watch, because we talk about all the generation that was with
  117. 9:20Joshua, they were gathered to their fathers as verse 10 says, and as they were gathered to their fathers,
  118. 9:32another generation after them arose, who did not know the Lord. And then this, look at this
  119. 9:39next part, and the work which he had done for Israel, how is that possible? How is that possible?
  120. 9:48How is that possible? What you're witnessing there is a generational degeneracy. I'm pointing
  121. 9:59that out guys because in many ways that is what we are facing in our own country, that
  122. 10:10you have a previous generation yet for in their hosts of reasons, hosts of articulations, hosts
  123. 10:19of things that that that unfold that show that the subsequent generation arose and they
  124. 10:27did not yawdaw the Lord.
  125. 10:32You can see why my eyes filled with tears as I read this earlier this morning.
  126. 10:40Now, I know things have gotten to such a place to where you guys hear me daily talk about the
  127. 10:49great commission.
  128. 10:50I've had conversations with people behind the scenes and some have reached out to me after
  129. 10:53I've listened to the show who said to me, hey, we've never, never even, I've never heard
  130. 11:00the word discipleship discuss in my local church.
  131. 11:04That breaks my heart.
  132. 11:08Let alone, let alone having discipleship discussed in addition to that.
  133. 11:14Let alone, how do I go about making disciples?
  134. 11:20And I understand that this is something that is not limited to any particular area because
  135. 11:24this is something I've encountered all over our country.
  136. 11:28And it goes to show just how much the church and our nation has been bewitched, because they
  137. 11:38got out of conversations about lots of other things.
  138. 11:43A lot of people talk about tithes and pressure applied for money extractions, that's what I call it.
  139. 11:55Even though the scripture says in 1 Corinthians that you're not supposed to give on the compulsion.
  140. 12:00Somebody square that circle.
  141. 12:03They know lots about all the kind of things, building projects, all kind of things.
  142. 12:06But why don't we know about what Jesus instructed us?
  143. 12:10When that is the case, guys, we should not be surprised.
  144. 12:15And the generation of Rose would do not know the Lord.
  145. 12:17How do we get to the place we have my friend George Barner coming on this program and to say,
  146. 12:22you know, it's kind of scary, but the majority according to our data collection, the majority of
  147. 12:27these ministry workers don't even have a biblical worldview. What I'm saying guys is that we're living
  148. 12:35in the judges 210 phenomena. We're living in that right now. And my concern, we have lots of people.
  149. 12:47Let me just say that one thing I'm going to say the next thing.
  150. 12:50My greatest country, we have lots of people that can talk to you all day long about, you
  151. 12:56know, the latest going on with President Trump.
  152. 12:59We can talk all day long about, you know, what political parties this will.
  153. 13:04We don't have robust conversations about the cycle making guys.
  154. 13:06And what I want you to see is that this is evidence of a spiritual deficiency.
  155. 13:12You know, we've grown, grown, we've gotten to the place as a society to where we expect
  156. 13:20children to be rebellious.
  157. 13:23We expect it and this is what is what I was gonna say and I've talked about the kind of trajectory of Charlie Kirk's life and
  158. 13:31How he you know early on it was you know libertarian economics and political engagement as he grew he realized?
  159. 13:37Oh no, we got we have a world view problem. So owner is more than a world repar we have we have a rebellion problem
  160. 13:42Oh, we need disciples be made we need we need mayor city. Here's the issue turn it point USA grew to an amazingly large organization
  161. 13:49Do you think that organization would be as large and well funded if they started out?
  162. 13:54the way Charlie ended his life and saying,
  163. 13:58well, I want to be known for courage from my faith,
  164. 14:01that I want to proclaim the gospel,
  165. 14:03that I want to encourage men to get married
  166. 14:09and encourage people to enjoy the Lord's Sabbath.
  167. 14:13You think it would have grown that large?
  168. 14:15Just something for you to think about.
  169. 14:18If he would have started that way,
  170. 14:20would it have grown that large?
  171. 14:24In my experience, I found people are far more willing
  172. 14:26to give money for political engagement, then they are for things like, I don't know, disciples
  173. 14:34being made. What I want you to see from this passage is to a reminder that there's nothing
  174. 14:40new under the sun. And if you are familiar with the book of Judges, you'll understand why I'm
  175. 14:45saying this. We are living in a Judges chapter 2 verse 10 phenomenon. But we can reverse it,
  176. 14:54of repentance is the only way forward.
  177. 15:00A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
  178. 15:03The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.
  179. 15:07I came that they may have life in heaven abundantly.
  180. 15:10I am the good shepherd.
  181. 15:12The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep,
  182. 15:15verses 10 and 11 of John chapter 10.
  183. 15:18Jesus is the good and the great shepherd.
  184. 15:20He's the greatest shepherd there ever was.
  185. 15:22He's a shepherd that can be trusted.
  186. 15:24John chapter 12 verse 49,
  187. 15:27For I have not spoken on my own authority,
  188. 15:30but the Father who sent me gave me a command,
  189. 15:34what I should say and what I should speak.
  190. 15:36The Lord Jesus Christ Himself in His earthly ministry
  191. 15:39continually trusted His heavenly Father.
  192. 15:42His heavenly Father, His great shepherd,
  193. 15:45for wisdom, for guidance and direction,
  194. 15:47at every step of His life.
  195. 15:49He wasn't trying to do his own thing.
  196. 15:51He was simply trying to follow His heavenly Father.
  197. 15:54and Jesus again stands as a great role model for each of us.
  198. 16:04Shiting lightning to the darkness,
  199. 16:07this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
  200. 16:12Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton
  201. 16:15the third here.
  202. 16:18This is breaking just right now,
  203. 16:20as we're sitting here in the studio,
  204. 16:21Google and Meta were found liable for negligence
  205. 16:27negligence and their efforts at working to make their social media apparatus.
  206. 16:40Adictive. The verdict just came down as we're sitting here. It's a pretty significant case.
  207. 16:50I'll have to dig into it a little bit deeper after today's program because the verdict
  208. 16:57which is coming out, some of the details,
  209. 16:58some of the arguments into that nature.
  210. 17:00But a mom and a daughter sued Google for the various injuries,
  211. 17:06the daughter alleged that she, well, not now,
  212. 17:10the jury has vindicated her,
  213. 17:11she suffered as a result of being addicted to social media,
  214. 17:17and to scrolling and things online.
  215. 17:19Very, very interesting.
  216. 17:21I alluded to this earlier, I wanted to share this report
  217. 17:26because it's interesting, because apparently the Gulf States,
  218. 17:30like the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia,
  219. 17:33are encouraging President Trump to continue pressing the fight
  220. 17:37against Iran, which is very interesting.
  221. 17:41I don't think anybody would have predicted,
  222. 17:43even two years ago, that you would find Muslim nations
  223. 17:47like Saudi Arabia encouraging the US to strike Iran.
  224. 17:52strike Iran. Very, very interesting. But to that point, and this is what I alluded to,
  225. 17:59that the U.S. military is preparing to deploy the estimates range. I've seen estimates as
  226. 18:09money as 3,000, I've seen some several, 2,000, but several thousand troops from the 82nd
  227. 18:18airborne division to the Middle East, as I understand it is being reported that the 82nd
  228. 18:25airborne division is considered the Army's emergency response force, and they're typically
  229. 18:30deployed on short notice. Again, according to reports from a then military, but they spoke
  230. 18:37on condition of anonymity because they were not at liberty to disclose this information
  231. 18:41to the media, but I can assure you they disclose it with the consent of the Pentagon that the
  232. 18:49force from an 82nd Airborne Division would include a battalion of first brigade combat,
  233. 18:54of the first brigade combat team, as well as Major General Brandon Tettmeyer, the Division's
  234. 18:59Commander and Division Staff to the Middle East.
  235. 19:06would be the latest edition of American troops to the Iran war effort after U.S. officials
  236. 19:14recently said thousands of Marines aboard several Navy ships would be heading to the region.
  237. 19:22And this is, and Bobby, you can correct me if any of this is inaccurate, while Marine units
  238. 19:26are trained in missions that include supporting U.S. embassies, evacuating civilians, and disaster
  239. 19:31relief soldiers of the 82nd Airborne based at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, North Carolina
  240. 19:36stand up. Members, the soldiers with 82nd Airborne are trained to parachute into hostile
  241. 19:43or contested territory to secure key territory and airfields.
  242. 19:48Hmm.
  243. 19:50The motto is they're never surrounded.
  244. 19:53Uh huh. Mr. Rosa has opined that the 82nd Airborne Division's motto is we're never surrounded.
  245. 20:03I like that. I like that. We're never surrounded. Who's around it? You, you, who's around it?
  246. 20:12You, you, you, you, we're never, you surrounded members of the Senate Armed Services Committee
  247. 20:17are scheduled work. I'm sorry.
  248. 20:19I received a classified briefing from Pentagon officials today and they, the entire briefing
  249. 20:28was based upon the deployment, potential deployment. U.S. officials have also previously mentioned
  250. 20:37And I'm saying this because I want to make sure this audience is up to speed on all of
  251. 20:41this.
  252. 20:42U.S. officials have previously mentioned that the Japan-based USS Tripoli and the 31st Marine
  253. 20:50Expeditionary Unit had already been ordered to the Middle East, shifting from their exercises
  254. 20:56in Taiwan.
  255. 20:58They also have mentioned that the Navy has deployed a set of ships carrying rapid response
  256. 21:05Marine forces to the Middle East from their home post of San Diego and the pair of Marine
  257. 21:11expeditionary units will add about 5,000 Marines and thousands of sailors to the region
  258. 21:16where we currently have in excess of 50,000 troops in the region, not in Iran but in the
  259. 21:22area in the waters and carries and things of that nature. Now I want to remind you as always
  260. 21:29please pray for our soldiers, men. These are real people, fellow citizens who have families
  261. 21:36Because it's easy for people to talk about, you know, the political chicanery and, you know,
  262. 21:42and I mentioned about Arab states supporting the war effort, and these are real families.
  263. 21:47These are real people with real families.
  264. 21:50So please keep our soldiers lifted up in prayer as well, obviously, as our nation's leadership,
  265. 21:59Pete Hexeth, President Trump's cabinet, the National Security Apparatus and Advisors,
  266. 22:04and advisors because this is,
  267. 22:06man, this is not a joke, this is a real deal.
  268. 22:08This is a real deal.
  269. 22:09Now, some are, as I mentioned yesterday,
  270. 22:14like I said, MS now, they're showing maps
  271. 22:16of where ground troops would land.
  272. 22:19And honestly, I don't want that to happen.
  273. 22:23I don't want that to happen.
  274. 22:27I'm talking about having US troops with boots on the ground.
  275. 22:31And I also have said that how can you accomplish
  276. 22:36whole idea of creating an opportunity for the Iranians to take back their country. If there are no
  277. 22:43boots on the ground, and I'm not hankering for this. This is my opinion. This is what I think,
  278. 22:49and I think President Trump has shown that his willingness to do this, how he has used the
  279. 22:58mobilizing forces in different places to coincide with negotiations in an effort to kind of incentivize
  280. 23:06conversation shall we say? Ever heard of the expression? Walk softly but carry a big stick?
  281. 23:19I, this is my estimation. This is what I think the president is doing. But it's interesting because
  282. 23:26you have a lot of, you have several people who are purporting to speak for the Iranian regime
  283. 23:33and saying, we're not negotiating, we're not talking, we're not negotiating. And then
  284. 23:39back channel communications,
  285. 23:42think of that things that NHDR are,
  286. 23:44absolutely taking place.
  287. 23:46Absolutely they're there, negotiating.
  288. 23:50So it's just, you have the reality.
  289. 23:55How do you negotiate with a sycophantic
  290. 24:01apocalyptically inclined Islamic zealot?
  291. 24:05Or Islamic zealots, how do you negotiate?
  292. 24:07You know in my view I think I ran
  293. 24:13Popping off of those intermediate range missiles. I think they knew they would be shot down. I think they just wanted to show the world
  294. 24:19They had them. That's what that's what I think because they shot too. I
  295. 24:25Think they wanted to show the world that they had them. I think it's one of those things where you
  296. 24:32You have a weakened state and you have desperation that often sets in in that condition
  297. 24:41But, weakened doesn't mean not dangerous.
  298. 24:46You know, this is one of the things that I confronted as a prosecutor when people say,
  299. 24:50oh, the police shot an unarmed man.
  300. 24:52And I was like, come on, man, y'all got to stop with the gerbil zinc talking points.
  301. 24:58Because anybody in law enforcement will tell you unarmed does not mean non-threatening.
  302. 25:03You understand that's a difference.
  303. 25:06There's a difference between an unarmed suspect and a non-threatening suspect.
  304. 25:10There are many instances when there are suspects who are unarmed who still remain threats and
  305. 25:17who are attempting to get armed in the process when you have law enforcement officers that
  306. 25:23use force to neutralize a threat.
  307. 25:29I mean, I could tell you story after story after story.
  308. 25:31I know in a horribly sad incident where a police officer in New Orleans was executing a
  309. 25:39a routine arrest on a man who had an outstanding arrest warrant, and the suspect was unarmed,
  310. 25:44and guess what happened?
  311. 25:45The suspect ends up being able to maneuver and retrieves the officer's firearm and kills
  312. 25:51him with his own gun.
  313. 25:55So you miss me with all of this unarmed talk.
  314. 25:57You need to discuss in terms of threats, threats versus non-threats.
  315. 26:03That being said, we have a presence in the Middle East, which is obviously indicated by
  316. 26:12the bombings that have taken place.
  317. 26:16But there's a mobilization of forces.
  318. 26:19And the latest reported iteration of that is a dispatch from the 82nd Airborne Division,
  319. 26:27who as Mr. Arrosa has shared with us, whose motto is we're never surrounded.
  320. 26:33All right.
  321. 26:37Again, I want to reiterate that, man, please pray for our soldiers.
  322. 26:40Please.
  323. 26:42and for our nation's leadership.
  324. 26:43This is a very, very critical juncture in our nation's history.
  325. 26:52Very, very critical juncture.
  326. 26:55All right, on the home front, you can file this under the, under the,
  327. 26:59the California is as California does file.
  328. 27:05You cannot make this stuff up, man.
  329. 27:07So as every, as you know, and many of our Californians who watch and listen to the show,
  330. 27:11you guys already know, California's governor,
  331. 27:15Gavinito Nusilini is termed out. That's why he's trying to posture because he wants to
  332. 27:21run for president, of course. But there are a host of people that are seeking to fill the
  333. 27:30become the next governor of the state of California. There was supposed to be a gubernatorial debate
  334. 27:38yesterday in California, collaboratively hosted by the University of Southern California and
  335. 27:46the local ABC News affiliate KABC.
  336. 27:55The University of Southern California used the expertise of one of their political science
  337. 27:59professors, a man by the name of Christian Gross, to develop the formula that would be
  338. 28:06employed to determine what gubernatorial candidates qualify to participate in the debate.
  339. 28:16The formula included a combination of factors like polling data, where the candidates are
  340. 28:23polling and how much money they have raised to date.
  341. 28:28All right.
  342. 28:31Well taking those things into consideration, for example, the top two candidates polling in
  343. 28:37the state of California for the governorship, starting from the top, are Republicans Steve
  344. 28:44Hilton and Chad Bianco leading the slate of California gubernatorial candidates.
  345. 28:50them. They both were at the top of the polls with 16% of the polling electorate, each having
  346. 29:0016%. Following them, there were three Democrats. California representative Eric Swalwell, who's
  347. 29:06running for California. Bobby, do you think he'll have Fang Fang's vote?
  348. 29:16Some might call him Mr. Fang Fang. Some people say, some say, have you heard Fang Fang's
  349. 29:26running for God, not fang fang, Mr. fang fang, running for governor of California.
  350. 29:31Yeah.
  351. 29:33Then after Eric Swalwell, you have Representative Katie Porter and then the billionaire environmental
  352. 29:41activist Tom Steyer.
  353. 29:44They are the top three Democrats, candidates, all tied at about 10% of the polling data.
  354. 29:50Then all of the remaining candidates are polling in single digits.
  355. 30:00But one exception is the San Jose mayor, Matt Mahan, who though he's polling in single digits,
  356. 30:05he has raised a significant amount of money because he's received significant support
  357. 30:11from Silicon Valley.
  358. 30:13So the people that were going to participate in the debate were the top six people, according
  359. 30:19to the formula.
  360. 30:21Christian Grove said, when I came up with this formula, I wasn't thinking about who it would
  361. 30:24help or who it would hurt and nothing like that.
  362. 30:26I just came up with a formula because USC and KABC said we need to come up with something
  363. 30:33to determine who a qualified participate in debate because this is always what happens.
  364. 30:37You can have a lot of candidates, but we want the debate to be an effective debate for debate
  365. 30:42for the populace so that they can get the information that they need to cast their votes, the way
  366. 30:46they need to cast their votes.
  367. 30:48Well, it's never as straightforward as it seems because additional candidates who are
  368. 31:01polling far lower all have something in common.
  369. 31:06Now these all people have single digits.
  370. 31:08So you have the former Health and Human Services Secretary under Mr. Joseph Biden, Javier Bressera,
  371. 31:15The former Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villar goesa. I'm sorry if I mispronounced his name.
  372. 31:21Villar goesa. Thank you. Villar goesa. You have the California state schools, schools,
  373. 31:27chief Tony Thurmond, who is running. And you also have Betty Yee, who's a former state
  374. 31:35controller. Now here's the thing. Have you ever Sarah and Antonio Villar goesa are all
  375. 31:41Latino, both Latino, I should say, Tony Thurmond is a black man.
  376. 31:48And Miss Yee is Asian American.
  377. 31:51So what do y'all think happened in California?
  378. 31:53I'll give y'all a second before I get through it.
  379. 31:55What do y'all think happened in California?
  380. 32:01This is crazy guys.
  381. 32:04This is crazy.
  382. 32:07What do y'all think happened?
  383. 32:08I'll give you a chance to answer because I'll because the
  384. 32:10disrespectful music is on.
  385. 32:12You have the the criteria established for who get to
  386. 32:14participate in the debate.
  387. 32:15The S6 candidates are ready to go.
  388. 32:21The combination of funds raised and polling data,
  389. 32:23the top six polling candidates,
  390. 32:27and the top six fundraising candidates.
  391. 32:29Then you have the next four, the next tier,
  392. 32:31who were not qualified to participate,
  393. 32:34all polling significantly behind the top six.
  394. 32:39But they lodged an objection to being excluded
  395. 32:42from the debate.
  396. 32:43What do you think the objection was based on?
  397. 32:47I'll give you a hint.
  398. 32:48What I tell you about the ones who excluded
  399. 32:50the debate. We'll get more into it when we come back from the break.

  410. 34:00Differing views on Israel. This is David Wheaton, host of the Christian World View.
  411. 34:06Some Christians see Israel as just another god-rejecting nation, while others see Israel and the Jewish
  412. 34:11people as still having great significance. So why the difference? Interpretation of scripture.
  413. 34:18Some see God's promise to Abraham and Genesis 12 for land, descendants, and blessing to be literal and
  414. 34:24unchangeable, while others see the promise as spiritually fulfilled in a new Israel, the Church.
  415. 34:29We side with the former view, but this should encourage all of us to be diligent to present
  416. 34:36yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.

  422. 35:10Back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
  423. 35:15Welcome back to the Hamilton corner, Abraham, Hamilton the third here.
  424. 35:17Guys, you cannot make this stuff up.
  425. 35:20So the people polled in terms of who they want the next governor of California to be were the actual voters.
  426. 35:30And the voters are explaining or responding and showing who they want to be the next governor.
  427. 35:37One of the things to note about California is that their primaries, the primary election will allow everybody to participate all of their citizens
  428. 35:45to vote for wherever they want. And the top two vote getters within proceed to a run off.
  429. 35:52As this stands now, you have two Republicans in the field and all of the rest are Democrats
  430. 35:57and they are divided the vote amongst the Democrats, amongst the Democrats. I'm not trying to give
  431. 36:04anybody any advice, but if that were to continue, and I'm not saying it's very likely that it
  432. 36:10will, I mean, I'm not talking about likelihood here, but if that were to continue the possibility
  433. 36:17based on the polling currently with Republicans numbers one and two in the polling in California.
  434. 36:24You see what I'm saying? They get it dealt with Republican governor.
  435. 36:28Not a Democrat party in California is trying to lean on some of the other Democrat candidates
  436. 36:34say, guys, y'all know y'all don't have a chance to win. Get out of the race.
  437. 36:39All you have a chance to do is divide the vote amongst the Democrat candidates and you could make
  438. 36:44make the way for a Republican to win the governorship in California.
  439. 36:51God, this is hilarious.
  440. 36:53And this is the thing that's hilarious.
  441. 36:55So I gave y'all a chance to guess what happened.
  442. 36:59Well, I told you the debate was supposed to be yesterday.
  443. 37:03All the Californians listened to the show.
  444. 37:05They know because they're saying, Oh, the debate was canceled.
  445. 37:09You heard me right?
  446. 37:10They canceled the debate, canceled the debate.
  447. 37:13But why did they cancel the debate?
  448. 37:16Cancel the debate.
  449. 37:17Listen to and watch clip number four, clip four, go.
  450. 37:22The stage was set, but less than 24 hours before California's governor's debate,
  451. 37:27it was called off. The debate hosted by USC and ABC television stations coming
  452. 37:32amid a crowded field. The top two vote getters from the primary regardless of party will advance
  453. 37:38to the general election in November. What this means is a democratic party needs to figure out
  454. 37:43immediately, pretty quickly before June 2nd, which candidates say want to advance?
  455. 37:49Eight Democrats and two Republicans remain, but only a handful were invited on stage.
  456. 37:54Republicans Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco, who have led the polls, joined by the three highest
  457. 37:59polling Democrats, billionaire Tom Steyer and Congress members Katie Porter and Eric
  458. 38:03Swalwell.
  459. 38:04San Jose Mayor Matt Mayhan was also included despite single-digit polling after raising
  460. 38:09millions from Silicon Valley donors.
  461. 38:12of the state former health and human services secretary
  462. 38:15Javier Becerra, former state controller Betty Yee, former
  463. 38:19state superintendent Tony Thurman and former L.A. Mayor Antonio
  464. 38:23Villargoza. Debate organizers said those candidates were not
  465. 38:26included because of low polling numbers and fundraising. But
  466. 38:29that formula prompted backlash by excluding the four candidates
  467. 38:33of color. When we are a minority majority state, the idea
  468. 38:37that that of candidates of color are going to be joining a
  469. 38:40debate is just inappropriate for a state like California.
  470. 38:44Cole, you stupid.
  471. 38:51This is wild, guys.
  472. 38:55It's so the ethnicity and melanin display of the people who the California voters have
  473. 39:16said they would have vote for and the candidates who have been able to raise the most money,
  474. 39:23inappropriate for the state for them to have the most vote support and the most money raised.
  475. 39:30According to what standard? According to regressive ideology, folks. So others recommended to USC and ABC,
  476. 39:41the local ABC station, just let them all participate in the debate to which the response was,
  477. 39:51well, how are we going to have a meaningful debate with 10 people? So they canceled the gubernatorial
  478. 40:02debate. It's almost like the same thing the Democrat party did with the she'll should
  479. 40:08never be president the remix being appointed as the nominee. You know, who cares? The votes
  480. 40:14been cast. Who cares what the people want? Who cares about any of that stuff? We need
  481. 40:20to make sure the guys isn't sad. So the California voters then are then deprived of being able
  482. 40:32but it here from the people who have the most likely possibility of being the next
  483. 40:40governor's that that's how beholden they are.
  484. 40:47That's how beholden they are to regressive ideology.
  485. 40:50God, that's how beholden they are.
  486. 40:55If the, if the, the melanin display don't look right, we'll just cancel the debate.
  487. 40:59Nobody needs to know what they really think, what they believe.
  488. 41:02Who needs to have them being able to share a stage of debate?
  489. 41:05That's how insane we've become.
  490. 41:14And this guys, it goes along with what I was saying
  491. 41:17in the very first segment.
  492. 41:18The arose a generation who didn't know the Lord.
  493. 41:23We're a nation that we have been fighting
  494. 41:31and fought the inheritance of the partiality
  495. 41:35that we'd received from England,
  496. 41:38you know, the legislative changes, the Civil War,
  497. 41:41we're trying to advance to be a society that we're not making substance decisions based
  498. 41:51on non-substantive superficial external melanin display, but you see how it asks reversed?
  499. 41:58No, we do not want to be known by the content of our character or the substance of our offerings.
  500. 42:04We need to make sure we have a particular skin color display quotient met.
  501. 42:09If the skin color display quotient is okay,
  502. 42:11then you could proceed to have your debate.
  503. 42:16Guys, that's evil, man.
  504. 42:18That's evil.
  505. 42:19I know they're gonna,
  506. 42:19they're not gonna recognize that it's evil,
  507. 42:21but it's evil.
  508. 42:24And you're getting this from a place,
  509. 42:26I don't know, I mentioned Fang Fang,
  510. 42:27and I cracked a joke about it,
  511. 42:28but I'm partially serious in this regard.
  512. 42:30You got a dude who literally was caught up
  513. 42:33with a Chinese spy in the whole world knows it.
  514. 42:36And he's not summarily ran out of Congress
  515. 42:38by his own constituents, let alone his party,
  516. 42:42but they reelected this fool.
  517. 42:44And I mean fool in the biblical sense.
  518. 42:46And then he believes he's so confident in his political
  519. 42:49future that now he's running to be the head of the state
  520. 42:52of California.
  521. 42:57Remember what I said, send makes you stupid guys.
  522. 42:59This is what I'm talking about.
  523. 43:01So rather than utilize the criteria that when the USC
  524. 43:07professor created, he wasn't thinking about
  525. 43:09who's gonna benefit, he was like, man, we can't have it
  526. 43:11to bait with 25 people.
  527. 43:13And so it was going to be effective for the California voters.
  528. 43:15Then we need to have a criteria that they have to meet in order to qualify to
  529. 43:19participate. Some of you may remember we had the same conversation.
  530. 43:23I invited Bishop Jackson on this program when he was running for president,
  531. 43:26running for the Republican nomination for the presidency,
  532. 43:29but he was excluded from the primary debate.
  533. 43:32I would have loved to see Bishop Jackson participate,
  534. 43:43but they were criteria to be satisfied in order to do so. So instead of,
  535. 43:49God, can I make this stuff up? Can I make this stuff up? Stuff up?
  536. 43:54So rather than deal with the reality, they canceled the entire debate.
  537. 43:58They just canceled it.
  538. 43:59They just canceled it.
  539. 44:07We only get to this place, guys, through accommodation of neglect and idolatry.
  540. 44:16And we're living in the judges two-ten moment.
  541. 44:20We're living in a moment.
  542. 44:25On that same front, well, I won't say the same front, a similar front.
  543. 44:35I mentioned to you all previously.
  544. 44:38Yeah, here we go.
  545. 44:42While while we're having operation, Epic Fury, transpiring in Iran.
  546. 44:52I previously mentioned to you, North Carolina's governor Josh
  547. 44:54Stein, and issued a Ramadan proclamation on behalf of the state.
  548. 45:01Well, New Jersey's governor is Mikey Sheryl, who remember she campaigned
  549. 45:09as a moderate.
  550. 45:10Remember that?
  551. 45:13Mm hmm.
  552. 45:13Well, just last week, New Jersey's Governor Mikey Sheryl visited a mosque in New Jersey
  553. 45:25that has been linked to terrorist activity since its founding in 1989, and whose co-founder
  554. 45:32was convicted, not alleged or accused, the co-founder of this mosque was convicted of
  555. 45:40funneling money to Hamas. During Governor Cheryl's visit, she met with an Islamic cleric
  556. 45:50who faced deportation proceedings of his own due to his own alleged ties to Hamas, but
  557. 46:02he from that perch in Pasek County, New Jersey, is called for a new Intifada. Guys, I'm bringing
  558. 46:16it up because just just as in the hearing that Chip Roy chaired not too about a week or two ago
  559. 46:24citing Muslim Brotherhood documents that you have Islamic jihattest who want to quote
  560. 46:30use our own laws against us. In quote, I don't think this is benign guys. I keep referring to
  561. 46:42the shows we we we had Bill Feder on what really was Bill Federer doing the show with I was just
  562. 46:49You know, listening like all of you, because I think one of the most egregious things that
  563. 46:57has transpired following 9-11 was the George W. Bush, you know, religion of peace commentary
  564. 47:03that caused all of Americans, because none of us, American people don't want to be hostile,
  565. 47:11suspicious of people based on external forces, you know. But I think that was one of the major
  566. 47:19full pause because it caused the head of our national government set the stage for a lack
  567. 47:27of vigilance and diligence among our populace.
  568. 47:30I was having a conversation with a guy not too long ago and he said, well, Abe, you know,
  569. 47:33there are lots of Americans who just don't really know much about Islam.
  570. 47:37And I said, yeah, why is that?
  571. 47:39Don't you think following 9-11 would have been a good time for us to learn a little bit more?
  572. 47:43Don't you think?
  573. 47:44Don't you think?
  574. 47:45That's just want to have a lot of issues with George W. Bush have a lot of issues with him,
  575. 47:53but I think he took the wrong tact.
  576. 47:56I think he took the wrong tact.
  577. 47:59He should have encouraged the American people to understand the very same thing that Thomas
  578. 48:03Jefferson did during our founding time.
  579. 48:07Couldn't understand why were the Barbary pirates continuously attacking American vessels?
  580. 48:12He's like, we haven't done anything to you.
  581. 48:13We don't have any beef with you.
  582. 48:14We don't have any quarrel with you.
  583. 48:21And then Jefferson read the Quran for himself.
  584. 48:24And finally the bar reparous say,
  585. 48:26we're attacking you because you're not Muslim.
  586. 48:29That's why.
  587. 48:32And our Quran commands us to attack you.
  588. 48:38And now, and I keep pointing this out,
  589. 48:43much of the population in Dear Bonoham Trauma
  590. 48:46shares an ideology similar to the Iranian regime.
  591. 48:50And now we have, you know,
  592. 48:52you have the Islamianist in New York City.
  593. 48:54Do you realize he's leading?
  594. 48:58Islamic prayer meetings in New York City,
  595. 49:00like in the parks and stuff.
  596. 49:02Like where all of the people, where's the ACLU
  597. 49:05with their separation of church and state stuff?
  598. 49:08Where are they?
  599. 49:09They seem to be completely MIA.
  600. 49:12It's almost as if when people complain about religion
  601. 49:16and politics, they're really only concerned
  602. 49:18if you're Christians.
  603. 49:18That's the only thing that's objectionable.
  604. 49:20You could be every, you could be everything else
  605. 49:22and they seem to be perfectly cool with it.
  606. 49:24Isn't that interesting?
  607. 49:25It's kind of just like the same people
  608. 49:27who don't support the Save America Act,
  609. 49:29also don't have a problem with open borders.
  610. 49:36You know, Americans united for the separation
  611. 49:39of the church and the state, you might as well change
  612. 49:41your name to Americans united for the separation
  613. 49:43of state and Christianity.
  614. 49:46Y'all are conveniently absent when the Islamianist
  615. 49:49is leading Muslim prayer times in the park.
  616. 49:52Then you have the new North Carolina governor,
  617. 49:56and now you have New Jersey's governor.
  618. 49:58Now you're not doing much, just meeting with the dude
  619. 50:01who's calling for new infotives and a mosque where the co-founder was convicted of fundamentally
  620. 50:07money to Hamas.
  621. 50:08Man, we have got to wake up.
  622. 50:11We have got to wake up.
  623. 50:18The fundamental transformation is on the way, is what I'm telling you.
  624. 50:21And like I said yesterday, the Jebusites ain't leaving on their own.
  625. 50:24The Jebusites have to be encouraged to exit.
  626. 50:30Y'all have a great evening.
