  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. 0:34Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio.
  13. 0:37I'm your host, Abraham Hamilton, the third,
  14. 0:40joined by the corner contingent right across from me,
  15. 0:44my man 100 grand, Mr. Bobby.
  16. 0:46rosar or today will be a great day to call them.
  17. 0:51Cain goes slim.
  18. 0:54Cuz he's in here.
  19. 0:55And in the screening room producer extraordinaire often imitated but never duplicated the real.
  20. 1:03Jay Mac Ladies and gentlemen.
  21. 1:04And we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program.
  22. 1:08At this very moment many of you, if not most of you are making your transition from your
  23. 1:13part-time jobs where you generate an income to your full-time jobs where you cultivate
  24. 1:18and outcome. And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality, understanding
  25. 1:24the primacy that God places on the family and welcoming God's view to inform your view in
  26. 1:31my view. And as a result of that in formation that hopefully for us is formation, oh, it
  27. 1:41will completely transform the way that we view and do life. I say it on a daily basis and
  28. 1:48And I will continue to say it because it is true.
  29. 1:53What goes on in your house is more important than what's going on in the White House, guys.
  30. 1:57Not because the White House is insignificant.
  31. 2:01Clearly the things that are happening in the White House are important, but they're not
  32. 2:04more important to you and me than what we are to do in our homes.
  33. 2:12There are concerted efforts that I would submit to you that are animated by wicked, evil,
  34. 2:20intentions, and they are seeking, quite frankly, they are seeking to decimate the Lord's people
  35. 2:30in our country. There's an effort to stamp out the light of our nation simply because
  36. 2:39in many ways our nation is the impediment to all kinds of secondary unfolding on the global
  37. 2:50stage. I think it's patently obvious if we would look and see what's going on in that
  38. 3:02regard. There's an effort to cause Shikane on the international front. There's an effort
  39. 3:07to continue to cause our nation to implode domestically. But by God's grace, our Lord
  40. 3:15is the one who has the final say. So you and I have the express privilege to be about our
  41. 3:21father's business and if you're listening to this program and I know there are some
  42. 3:26who are listening and they are in this group of people and you would say,
  43. 3:30man, hey, by here you talking about the Lord, you read the Bible every day in the
  44. 3:33show, frankly I don't know what would happen to me once I passed away. I don't
  45. 3:40know, I don't know. Please do not hearten your heart in the day of salvation. The
  46. 3:45things that are unfolding around us guys confirms the fact that the Bible is
  47. 3:47true, confirms the fact that the Bible is true. Eternity is a long time to be
  48. 3:55wrong. Sometimes it sounds like it's not just good news, it's too good to be true news, but
  49. 4:01the good news is simply that God having none other to swear by swore by himself, recognizing
  50. 4:08that the chasm between himself and mankind was so broad, so deep, so wide, the only way
  51. 4:16it could be mended was if God put on an ursuit himself. So the lamb that was lame before the
  52. 4:23foundation of the world invaded human history, was born as a product of immaculate conception
  53. 4:32fulfilling the prophecy through the prophet Isaiah that the virgin would be would give birth
  54. 4:41to our Messiah.
  55. 4:42He lived a sinless life, was crucified on a cross for sin he did not commit, for sin he did not
  56. 4:49commit, but he was the once and for all Passover lamb, the Exodus with the institution of the
  57. 4:56the Passover, it was pointing to the Messiah.
  58. 5:00That's why in Passover, saders all around the country, when you come to the end of this
  59. 5:06Passover meal where the matzatosh is brought out, that's the bread bag.
  60. 5:12The bread bag has three components, but interestingly, only the second component has bread that is
  61. 5:19broken.
  62. 5:20That broken bread is then wrapped and buried until the end of the meal and the meal cannot
  63. 5:25in until the bread that was broken from the mazatosh is brought back, the brought back bread. What
  64. 5:31is that pointing to? It's pointing to the one who died for your sin and mind and who was
  65. 5:37entombed, but death could not hold him down. And we serve a resurrected Christ and it is
  66. 5:46by grace alone, through faith alone, placing our confidence in what he has secured for our
  67. 5:51benefit that we become the inheritors of eternal life.
  68. 5:56I know it sounds like it's too good to be true.
  69. 6:04It's one of the major ways that Christ's following deviates from all of the many of the world's
  70. 6:10presentations, that we don't have to work our way to get to God, but God made his way to
  71. 6:15us through Christ Jesus.
  72. 6:22So if you're listening to this program and you're not yet a believer, do not reject the free gift of
  73. 6:28salvation of this Christ.
  74. 6:30The gift it is free, but it is not, and it was not cheap.
  75. 6:35He secured it for us.
  76. 6:36To the word of God we go, Joshua 22, Joshua 22, verses 10 through 20.
  77. 6:45That's what I'm going to read and I've got to read fast.
  78. 6:49Just for context purposes, Joshua 22 is sword the latter part of the Promised Land Campaign
  79. 6:55when the tribes on the eastern portion of the Jordan River, the Rubenites, the Gaddites,
  80. 7:00the half tribe of Manasseh were allowed to return to their lands on the east side of the
  81. 7:06Jordan.
  82. 7:08All right, this follows the events that have already transpired in Numbers 25 with Bail,
  83. 7:15Bailam at Peor, the sin of Aiken and Joshua chapter 2.
  84. 7:21This is actually the first threat of civil war in Israel's history.
  85. 7:26And this is what the text says, Joshua chapter 22 verse 10.
  86. 7:30And when they came to the region of the Jordan, that is in the land of Canaan, the people of
  87. 7:35Ruben and the people of Gad and the half tribe of Vanessa built there in altar by the Jordan,
  88. 7:41an altar of imposing size.
  89. 7:43And the people of Israel heard it, said, Behold, the people of Ruben and the people of Gad
  90. 7:48and the half tribe of Vanessa have built the altar at the frontier of the land of Canaan,
  91. 7:54in the region about the Jordan on the side that belongs to the people of Israel.
  92. 7:58And when the people of Israel heard of it, the whole assembly of the people of Israel gathered
  93. 8:02at Shiloh to make war against them.
  94. 8:06Then the people of Israel sent to the people of Reuben and the people of Gad and the half
  95. 8:10tribe of Manasseh in the land of Gilead, Finihos, the son of Eleazar the priest.
  96. 8:16And with him, ten chiefs, one from each of the tribal families of Israel.
  97. 8:22Every one of them, the head of a family among the clans of Israel.
  98. 8:26And they came to the people of Reuben, to the people of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh,
  99. 8:30in the land of Gilead, and they said to them, thus says, the whole congregation of the Lord,
  100. 8:36what is this breach of faith that you have committed against the God of Israel, in turning
  101. 8:40away this day from following the Lord by building yourselves, and alter this day, and rebellion
  102. 8:46against the Lord?
  103. 8:48Have we not had enough of the sin at Pior?
  104. 8:52From which even yet we have not cleansed ourselves, and for which there came a plague among
  105. 8:56congregation of the Lord. I'm sorry, I play upon the congregation
  106. 9:00of the Lord that you too must turn away this day from following
  107. 9:05the Lord. And if you too rebel against the Lord today, then
  108. 9:09tomorrow he will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.
  109. 9:13But now if the land of your possession is unclean, pass over
  110. 9:17into the Lord's land where the Lord's tabernacle stands and take
  111. 9:20for yourselves a possession among us. Only do not rebel against
  112. 9:24against the Lord of make us as rebels by building for yourselves
  113. 9:28and alter other than the altar of the Lord our God.
  114. 9:32Did Aiken the son of Zara break faith,
  115. 9:35I'm sorry, did not Aiken the son of Zara break faith
  116. 9:38in the matter of the devoted things
  117. 9:40and wrath fell upon all the congregation of Israel?
  118. 9:43And he did not perish alone for his iniquity.
  119. 9:50What's going on here?
  120. 9:51Simply put, you have the tribes of Israel
  121. 9:55who were on the west side of Jordan, they learned that the Rubenites, the Gaddites, and the
  122. 10:01half tribe of Manasseh had built a replica altar, an altar that is a replica of what was
  123. 10:07in the tabernacle.
  124. 10:11Just as the texts unveiled, they were keenly aware and imminently aware of what had happened
  125. 10:17in the history prior, Numbers 25 with the sin of Balaam, how sexual sin and compromise
  126. 10:26wreaked havoc in the nation of Israel, upon the people of Israel.
  127. 10:30They were reminded, imminently aware of the sin of Aiken and Joshua chapter 2 after having
  128. 10:35had tremendous victory at Jericho.
  129. 10:38They were overwhelmed at AI, which was a much less formidable opponent.
  130. 10:44And so the first threat of civil war in Israel's history was due to the fact that the West
  131. 10:52side, as I'm going to call them, those on the West side of Jordan were like, man, we
  132. 10:55cannot do this compromise thing anymore.
  133. 10:59The Lord is the one who's ordained the construction of the tabernacle.
  134. 11:02He gave Moses the guidelines for what should be there.
  135. 11:04The altar is in the tabernacle.
  136. 11:06Are you guys entering into idol worship already?
  137. 11:10You continue reading the chapter and I encourage you to do so.
  138. 11:12Read the entire chapter.
  139. 11:15The Gaddites and the Rubenites and the half-type of an Assah.
  140. 11:18We're going to explain, no, no, no, no, brothers.
  141. 11:20We're not entering into any form of idolatry.
  142. 11:23We wanted to make sure that in the time to come,
  143. 11:26the time to come, that your children,
  144. 11:29the West Side's children won't come to the place
  145. 11:31they think the e-side is not a part of the Commonwealth of Israel.
  146. 11:35So we wanted to make sure that the Westside is new, that we constructed an altar that's
  147. 11:39a replica to the one in the tabernacle, not to use it, not to burn incense, not to make
  148. 11:44sacrifices with, but simply to show we are one people.
  149. 11:50We are one people.
  150. 11:54So after the conversation happened and they sent Finney House, sending Finney House to inquire
  151. 11:58about this matter was a big deal.
  152. 12:00Go back and read numbers 25 to find out why.
  153. 12:02But why am I presenting this now?
  154. 12:07I'm presenting this because when you see this is
  155. 12:12the first instance in his history that
  156. 12:17Presented a threat of civil war and you see what it was about the main focus was solely this
  157. 12:23The potential for fighting was just to make sure that everybody remained faithful to Yahweh
  158. 12:28Now we know I've been talking about the book of Judges
  159. 12:32It didn't always remain this way
  160. 12:34We know what happens after the after Joshua passes away and the elders who were Joshua's contemporaries pass away
  161. 12:40But at this juncture we get a snapshot an interest history that the first threat of civil war had to do with
  162. 12:46contending
  163. 12:47To ensure that they made that there was a maintenance of national fidelity to Yahweh
  164. 12:53And I said numerous times I would never try to read
  165. 12:59Ourselves into the scripture but the scripture has things like the apostle Paul wrote in Romans 15 that the things that are written
  166. 13:04in the Lord's Word, in the Hebrew scripture in particular,
  167. 13:07written for our learning that through patience
  168. 13:09and the comfort of scripture, we might have hope.
  169. 13:14When I look at that, I can't help but think about
  170. 13:16what are the things that we fight about in our country?
  171. 13:19Right now, think about that, think about that.
  172. 13:26What are the things that are,
  173. 13:31that raise the national concern in our country right now?
  174. 13:35And then as you ponder that,
  175. 13:37what does that tell you, if anything, about our country?
  176. 13:42There were things we used to understand about honor, you know, what?
  177. 13:51One of my colleagues here sent a thing around.
  178. 13:55It was George Washington's advice for civil interactions.
  179. 14:01You know, an entire book called How to Conduct One's Self with Civility in Decorum, written by George Washington.
  180. 14:08Man, our country is in a position where we are desperately in need.
  181. 14:14And as I've been saying this, as I said yesterday, I've been saying in other shows,
  182. 14:19but I said it yesterday in particular as it comes to my mind,
  183. 14:23that I'm gravely concerned that there are not enough people in our country
  184. 14:26who recognize just how desperate our condition is.
  185. 14:31In many ways, we've been consumed in bread and circus, you know?
  186. 14:36And to where we can't even recognize that it's bread and circus,
  187. 14:40because we think, well, this is living.
  188. 14:45Hey, don't bother me while I was going on about the nation's condition.
  189. 14:49Don't you know the NFL draft is around the corner?
  190. 14:52Don't you have any advice about the draft picks?
  191. 14:55Something we need to consider.
  192. 15:01A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
  193. 15:05It's like all of creation was screaming, God is good.
  194. 15:09His goodness just flows from everything he created.
  195. 15:13But when the devil came to the garden, tempted Adam and Eve, his approach was, is God really
  196. 15:19good?
  197. 15:20And sadly, they kind of went along with his deception.
  198. 15:24They fell into sin.
  199. 15:26But the reality is God's creation is good
  200. 15:29and God is totally good.
  201. 15:31And so he can be totally trusted.
  202. 15:32So our worship and praise is acknowledging
  203. 15:35that he's good even when we don't fully recognize
  204. 15:37or see what he's doing.
  205. 15:39On the other hand, complaining is God, you're messing up.
  206. 15:43I'm not sure if you really are good in this situation.
  207. 15:45So I think clearly it's important.
  208. 15:47And complaining is never a good thing.
  209. 15:49It really is a way to curse something.
  210. 15:52Praise and worship,
  211. 15:53even though we may not fully understand
  212. 15:54what all is going on, it's so productive.
  213. 16:06Shining light into the darkness.
  214. 16:08This is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
  215. 16:12Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton,
  216. 16:14the third here.
  217. 16:16The entrusted homeschool conference will be May 2nd,
  218. 16:19Saturday, May 2nd, and Waco, Texas.
  219. 16:22You do not want to miss this if you're in the area
  220. 16:25or willing to come to the area.
  221. 16:26I believe with everything in me, one of the most important things that we can and must do
  222. 16:30in this day and age is for us, who are parents of young children, that we take the leadership
  223. 16:35in discipling our children, that discipleship includes the cultivation of their minds.
  224. 16:40Honestly, I don't think we can afford to continue to outsource the discipleship responsibility
  225. 16:46to the anti-Christ ideologies that permeate our country at the moment.
  226. 16:50We cannot do so.
  227. 16:51We cannot do so.
  228. 16:52You know, the late Dr. Vodie Bakam used to always say, we cannot continue to send our
  229. 16:56children to Caesar for discipleship and then act surprised when they come home as Romans.
  230. 17:03If that ain't a bar, I don't know what it is.
  231. 17:07I mean, that hits it right on the nose.
  232. 17:10And so if you are looking into this, considering it, or if you're already in this fight and
  233. 17:15you're looking for some encouragement, some sharpening, maybe even some additional resources,
  234. 17:20this will be a great time for you at the entrusted homeschool conference, the entrusted Christian
  235. 17:24Homeschool Conference. You simply need to go to entrusts.org to register and you will have
  236. 17:32your face in the space. Then, a couple weeks after that, we will be in Lansing, Michigan
  237. 17:38at the Inspirational Networking Conference for Homeschoolers. Another great resource is
  238. 17:43this conference. It will be a little longer. It will be May 14th through the 16th in Lansing,
  239. 17:49Michigan. I would love to meet you there. We're going to have a powerful time together. It
  240. 17:54is put on by the Michigan Christian homeschool network
  241. 17:57to register for it, you need to go to mission.org,
  242. 18:00that is M-I-C-H-N.org.
  243. 18:04And I would love to meet those who are in that region
  244. 18:07of the country.
  245. 18:08This will be the first time I'll have the opportunity
  246. 18:10to minister in Michigan.
  247. 18:12And so I'm looking forward to that as well.
  248. 18:14All right.
  249. 18:16Just a little while before coming on the air,
  250. 18:19President Trump announced on True Social
  251. 18:22an extension to the ceasefire with the Iranians and in this,
  252. 18:27and by the way, I may need your help on this,
  253. 18:30because the way that President Trump articulated this,
  254. 18:36is it should we take it to be like an indefinite ceasefire,
  255. 18:39which I don't think is his intentions,
  256. 18:40because he concluded by saying that if we get a deal or not,
  257. 18:45we will resume striking if we don't get a deal.
  258. 18:48He said that in the announcement,
  259. 18:50But I'll read what he posted on True Social.
  260. 18:53President Trump posted this quote,
  261. 18:54based on the fact that the government of Iran
  262. 18:56is seriously fractured, not unexpectedly so,
  263. 18:59and upon the request of Field Marshal,
  264. 19:02I see Munir and Prime Minister Shabaz Sharif of Pakistan,
  265. 19:06we have been asked to hold our attack on the country of Iran
  266. 19:10until such time as their leaders and representatives
  267. 19:13can come up with a unified proposal.
  268. 19:16Okay. He said, quote, the US military will extend. It's more than week long, naval blockade
  269. 19:25of Iranian ports. And that in all other respects, it will remain, we will remain ready and able
  270. 19:32and will therefore extend the ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted and
  271. 19:37discussions are concluded one way or the other. Okay. So am I to read to understand that he's
  272. 19:45saying that the ceasefire is extended until the Iranians come up with a proposal and submit
  273. 19:52a proposal, a unified proposal? Yes, and it has to be suitable. And it has to be suitable.
  274. 20:00So my question, so my question is to say, yes, the ceasefire is extended until the Iranians
  275. 20:04present a proposal and it's a quote unquote suitable proposal. Okay. So how long we talking
  276. 20:13about that? That my immediate question is, what are we talking about in terms of time?
  277. 20:18Because the previous ceasefire communications have already included a particular date because
  278. 20:25the current ceasefire was going to expire tomorrow.
  279. 20:29So my immediate question is, is this supposed to be construed or understood to be an indefinite
  280. 20:38ceasefire?
  281. 20:39Or is this something that's a bit more short term?
  282. 20:42And there may be more information.
  283. 20:43There may have more information that comes out while I'm on the air right now because
  284. 20:46this just broke just as release right before coming on to the air.
  285. 20:51But I'm just so you've gone from one with the time deadline to now there is an extension
  286. 20:57of the ceasefire, but it's not a it's not time determinant based on what has been posted
  287. 21:04today so far, which is interesting.
  288. 21:09Of course the Iranians and again, if they're fractured who's speaking for them, I guess
  289. 21:13is a spokesperson for the parliamentarian dude, you know, he's saying, well, this is Trump
  290. 21:17just trying to delay to give themselves more time for another strike against Iran.
  291. 21:21I'm just like, dude, there are a lot of things I don't know.
  292. 21:26But one thing I know for sure is the United States of America don't need to delay to strike
  293. 21:30Iran again.
  294. 21:31I mean, that's just that's just absurd.
  295. 21:35But one of the things that President Trump said in addition to this.
  296. 21:38Now this was in response to a question on this point by an anchor on CNBC because some
  297. 21:53of she may be aware that the US provided escort services for a vessel.
  298. 21:59I was trying to go to the Strait of our moves flying an Iranian flag and our military members
  299. 22:06said, not so fast my friend.
  300. 22:08Said our Iranians are saying, well that's an act of war.
  301. 22:11It's like, what do you mean?
  302. 22:12We put up a naval blockade.
  303. 22:13We told y'all, don't send nothing through here.
  304. 22:14Yet you try to send something through here to evade what we're doing and we, we're doing
  305. 22:18what we said we're going to do.
  306. 22:20According to US Central Command, there have been 28 ships that have been told by a military
  307. 22:23to turn around or return to port.
  308. 22:26Yet this Iranian vessel didn't heed those warnings and so the Iranian vessel quickly
  309. 22:32became occupied by Americans.
  310. 22:35That was what a day or two ago.
  311. 22:38But in discussing what was coming, and this is before the ceasefire announcement was made,
  312. 22:44President Trump was on CNBC, and he said this, which is interesting to me, he said, quote,
  313. 22:50Iran can get themselves on a very good footing if they make a deal.
  314. 22:54They can make themselves into a strong nation again, a wonderful nation again.
  315. 22:59They have incredible people, but they seem to be bloodthirsty.
  316. 23:03They're led by some very, very unfortunately tough people, and I don't mean tough in a good
  317. 23:08way.
  318. 23:10leaders need to use reason and they have to use common sense and they can get themselves
  319. 23:15into a great position to make themselves into a great country, but a legitimate country, not
  320. 23:19a country based on death and horror."
  321. 23:23Now, let me just, our news media is so dishonest, man, because they're going to be people that
  322. 23:30are going to take the president's comments out of context and try to make it seem as if
  323. 23:34President Trump is saying out there, Iranian populace is bloodthirsty.
  324. 23:37That's not what he's saying at all.
  325. 23:39And he says that their bloodthirsty, he's talking about the leadership.
  326. 23:41He's not talking about the people because he said about the people that they're incredible
  327. 23:44people.
  328. 23:45Yes.
  329. 23:46But y'all, y'all know what they're going to do.
  330. 23:48You know, they're going to try to verify people that it's just like they do other things,
  331. 23:52you know.
  332. 23:53But the thing that's noteworthy to me in this is that he says that they can put themselves
  333. 23:58in a position to make themselves into a great country, but a legitimate country, a legitimate
  334. 24:04country, not a country based on death and horror.
  335. 24:09So what that shows me is that he's understanding that a country that's based on death and horror
  336. 24:21is not a legitimate country.
  337. 24:25I don't recall ever hearing him describe Iran in that way publicly before this.
  338. 24:30Have you have in it?
  339. 24:32And I'm not I'm not purporting to hear everything that president says.
  340. 24:37I'm not the White House press corps.
  341. 24:38I ain't following them around all day long, you know, and we ain't toasting over big backs,
  342. 24:42you know what I'm saying?
  343. 24:43So I don't hear everything he sends, but I hadn't heard him describe them in this way
  344. 24:48before this when he says that they can make themselves into a great country, a legitimate
  345. 24:54country, not a country based on death and horror.
  346. 24:58I've never heard it described that way.
  347. 25:00And it just, it makes me, I just don't know.
  348. 25:07There's no way I could know this, but what percentage of the country is kind of like in
  349. 25:12Venezuela, you had the Chavismo.
  350. 25:14You know, you had the people who supported Hugo Chavez, you know, and they kind of kept
  351. 25:19that name even under Maduro, but I do think there needs to be some understanding as to
  352. 25:26what percentage of the people there would support the mullas, you know, how many of the people
  353. 25:33oppose him.
  354. 25:34And I do think that there's far more than oppose him than support him, sure.
  355. 25:40But that is interesting to see, you know, and we had a good comment, I believe, saying
  356. 25:45Maybe he's stopping the strategy of a timeframe since that hasn't worked,
  357. 25:49giving them a more realistic period of time.
  358. 25:51That very well could be the case.
  359. 25:53That very well could be the case.
  360. 25:54But I just noticed that that is a departure from what had been done in the past.
  361. 26:01And, and, and it left me with questions about what we should expect going forward.
  362. 26:06Now, something else, I had this story in my stack yesterday, but I didn't get to it
  363. 26:12because over the weekend there was an arrest here in our own country.
  364. 26:18of a woman whose name is Shami Mafi.
  365. 26:23Shami Mafi, 44 years old, she was arrested in California
  366. 26:28at the LAX Airport, attempting to board a plane to Turkey.
  367. 26:34I suspect she was attempting to board a plane to Turkey
  368. 26:37because she realized the jig is up.
  369. 26:41What jig am I talking about?
  370. 26:42Listen to and watch a brief clip about Shami Mafi.
  371. 26:46It is clip number four, clip four, go.
  372. 26:49Dornador, people shocked in this Woodland Hills complex after a woman living here was arrested
  373. 26:53by the FBI and accused of trafficking weapons for Iran.
  374. 26:56You never know who's next door.
  375. 26:59And with everything that's going on, it's just absolutely crazy to me.
  376. 27:02I don't even know what to think about.
  377. 27:04Federal investigators say 44-year-old Shamim Mafi was taken into custody at LAX while trying
  378. 27:08to fly to Turkey.
  379. 27:09She's accused of helping Iran sell hundreds of millions of dollars in weapons and ammunition
  380. 27:14to the nation of Sudan, violating decades-old U.S. sanctions against doing business with Iran.
  381. 27:19So, right off the bat, that kind of business is a problem.
  382. 27:23Couple that with the facts that Ms. Maffee is accused of selling weaponry or brokering
  383. 27:29the sale of weaponry, that's a whole other problem.
  384. 27:32In a criminal complaint, federal investigators say Maffee helped Iran sell Sudan more than
  385. 27:37$70 million worth of armed drones, as well as hundreds of bombs, 70,000 AK-47 rifles and
  386. 27:4410 million rounds of ammo.
  387. 27:46say Maffi called and met with an Iranian intelligence officer dozens of times and used
  388. 27:51her business in the Middle East to take payments from Sudan for the weapons. The criminal complaints
  389. 27:55as Maffi used the encrypted messaging platform WhatsApp to communicate and told others involved
  390. 28:00in the deals to delete their messages.
  391. 28:04Now I'm presenting that to you because there have been lots of conversations about, you know,
  392. 28:10the significance of oil and things of that nature. I wanted you to see this story because
  393. 28:16People are people and people are resourceful.
  394. 28:19And here you have this woman who is a legal resident
  395. 28:24in the United States of America.
  396. 28:25If I have the data correctly,
  397. 28:28she became a legal resident in 2016.
  398. 28:31And she had established a business in Oman
  399. 28:35called Atlas International Business, LLC.
  400. 28:39And she established, the LLC was established here.
  401. 28:42She has a similarly named business in Oman.
  402. 28:45But her indictment was 69 pages long, 69 pages long.
  403. 28:54And she has been, for quite some time, some reports indicate for a decade there about,
  404. 29:05have served serving as the brokerage person for illegal arms sales on behalf of our rent.
  405. 29:12And as you heard in the report, I mean, she lived in a pretty somewhat describe it normal
  406. 29:25looking apartment complex, but she's broken these deals on behalf of the Iranian government.
  407. 29:38According to the federal criminal complaint that was filed against her, her operation shows
  408. 29:48how Iran bolstered its treasury in recent years by selling drone technology, the same drone technology
  409. 29:56it's using to cause havoc in the Persian Gulf right now.
  410. 30:02In violation of all kinds of prohibitions, not least of which includes sales to the Sudanese
  411. 30:10government which has been known to use weapons to do things like genocide.
  412. 30:16It's kind of interesting how one nation who is about genocide would be willing to sell weapons
  413. 30:21to another genocidal nation, almost like genocitals, birds of a feather like the genocidal flock
  414. 30:31together.
  415. 30:32Did I say genocidal already?
  416. 30:36This is, man, another reason why I think we need to have a much better regime, a much tighter
  417. 30:47vetting process for who we led in our country.
  418. 30:50She came to our country and she followed the rules to become a legal permanent resident.
  419. 30:55she utilized our country as a foundation from which according to the criminal, allegations
  420. 31:00made against her to sell weapons illegally to enrich herself, of course, but at the behest
  421. 31:08and for the profiting of the Iranian government.
  422. 31:14I cannot help but think who are we letting our country the last several years before President
  423. 31:19Trump took office?
  424. 31:20You know, here's a person who is an Iranian national legal permanent resident, but it can't
  425. 31:29But you can't help but think about the whole notion of potential sleeper cells, you know,
  426. 31:33pointed out to you before how the evil dude who drove his car into the synagogue in Michigan
  427. 31:42that he was the brother of a Hezbollah commander.
  428. 31:45I mean, I could be wrong and listen, I know one person shouldn't be held responsible for
  429. 31:54their siblings' crimes if their crimes.
  430. 31:56Can you think of a good reason to let the brother of a Hezbollah commander into our country?
  431. 32:03Can you think of a good reason?
  432. 32:05I mean, that might be one out of the bonus of caution we might just say no, don't you think?
  433. 32:10If you try to come legally?
  434. 32:17And I shared before how it seems that the children of the Iranian regime in particular tend to come to America for their education.
  435. 32:28It's interesting.
  436. 32:30And of course, they're partying.
  437. 32:34You'll listen into the Hamilton Corner.
  438. 32:37When we come back, we'll get into a little bit.
  439. 32:40You don't need any speculation about what is going
  440. 32:43coming down the pipe.
  441. 32:45When James Carrville is around,
  442. 32:47more Hamilton Corner when we come back.
  443. 33:01As we watch world events unfold and fulfill scripture,
  444. 33:04it's hard to believe anyone could doubt God
  445. 33:06and his word are real.
  446. 33:08And yet there are so many who either question
  447. 33:10or completely refuse to believe it.
  448. 33:12The God who speaks is a 90 minute documentary that hits the doubt head on with evidence that
  449. 33:18proves God is real and His Word is the ultimate authority.
  450. 33:22Watch it anytime and invite others to watch with you.

  452. 33:28That's stream.afa.net.
  453. 33:32Not only do sinners not deserve salvation, there's nothing anyone can do to earn it.
  454. 33:38Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone.
  455. 33:41Once you're saved, what part, if any, do you play in your own spiritual growth and development?

  458. 34:01Trump a doctor? This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian Royal View.
  459. 34:06On his social media account last week, President Trump posted an AI image of himself dressed in
  460. 34:12a white robe and red sash with glowing hands touching the forehead of a man in need of healing.
  461. 34:19Public outrage was swift for the obvious representation of Trump as Christ. Trump deleted the post,
  462. 34:26but said the image simply portrayed him as a doctor healing the nation. The president
  463. 34:31has implemented many policies Christian support, but he and we all need truth tellers around
  464. 34:37us reminding us to be vigilant against pride.
  465. 34:40As the Bible says, pride goes before destruction in a haughty spirit before stumbling.
  466. 34:46Here are most recent program at TheChristianWorldView.org and then join us this weekend for another
  467. 34:51topic that will sharpen your worldview.
  468. 34:54Listen to The Christian World View with David Wheaton, Saturday mornings at 8 Central on American
  469. 34:59Family Radio.
  470. 35:01The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Comment Terrence are available at EFR.net.
  471. 35:11Back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
  472. 35:16Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here.
  473. 35:21So James Carville, who happens to be from my home state, former advisor to Bill Clinton
  474. 35:31the Adi Adi Adi, all of that blah blah blah Yakity Smackity.
  475. 35:35But he still is influential in the Democrat party and he appeared on one of their favorite
  476. 35:41regressive podcasts, the politics war room podcast.
  477. 35:45And he just, he just shared the Spamburger regressive DNC plan to, you know, you know,
  478. 35:57don't say what you really going to do once you take office.
  479. 35:59But when you take office, it's, you know, it's a no holds bars, no holds barred cage match.
  480. 36:06And you just, you just do whatever you want.
  481. 36:13And I wanna make sure I didn't mention this.
  482. 36:16We got the bleep on here, don't we Jeff?
  483. 36:18Heh heh heh heh.
  484. 36:21Cause Bobby asked me that.
  485. 36:22We got enough bleeps for James Carville.
  486. 36:24And I mentioned, man, this is a brief clip.
  487. 36:26And then I was like, oh wait, there is one.
  488. 36:28That must be bleeped.
  489. 36:30And usually I'll say, just make sure we bleeped this.
  490. 36:33But I didn't say that this time.
  491. 36:34I want the double check.
  492. 36:36Cause you can't take it back once it's played.
  493. 36:37That's what I'm saying.
  494. 36:38that back. I'd rather go without it than play it. And you know what I mean? But James Carvel
  495. 36:43is on his podcast and he's like, listen, man, you, you, you get back in, you win the president
  496. 36:48and you win the house. You win the Senate, make Puerto Rico and DC States. You pack the
  497. 36:56court straight away with 13 people. You say, eat our dust. So what, this is what we're gonna
  498. 37:03do. That's, that's what he said. Here he is. It's just 11 seconds. Here's James Carvel in
  499. 37:09his own words. Clip number five, clip five, go.
  500. 37:11If the Democrats win the presidency and both have the Congress, I think on day one, they
  501. 37:16should make Puerto Rico DC estate.
  502. 37:18They should expand the Supreme Court to 13.
  503. 37:21He's our dust.
  504. 37:25Thank you, sir.
  505. 37:27He immediately followed up by saying, don't run on it.
  506. 37:31Don't campaign on it.
  507. 37:33Don't speak about it.
  508. 37:34Don't tell anybody that's what you're going to do.
  509. 37:36Just get power and do it.
  510. 37:38That's what he said.
  511. 37:40Now, people like myself have been telling you this is what these people say.
  512. 37:44This is not theoretical.
  513. 37:47Let's go right now actually and 646 polls are about to close in Virginia in about 14 minutes,
  514. 37:54but you know, they don't have election day to have election season.
  515. 37:58But right now, Virginians are about to vote on an electoral redistricting plan that Abigail
  516. 38:04Spamberger straight up said she would not do when she took office.
  517. 38:08She would not agree to any redistricting plan.
  518. 38:10And what is she doing right now?
  519. 38:15Guys is it's high time for us to wake up.
  520. 38:18This is, this is, this is why I've said, and you know, you get all the explanations, all
  521. 38:23the hand-ringing.
  522. 38:24That's why I said the Republicans, if they were serious, they would just change the filibuster
  523. 38:29rules to get stuff done that the president promised, like the Save America Act.
  524. 38:34That's, that's so basic.
  525. 38:36That's so basic.
  526. 38:40And the constant, the Senate rules concerning the filibuster are not in the US Constitution.
  527. 38:44The Senate makes them up as they go.
  528. 38:47If you look at the history, how do we get to the threshold being 60 votes?
  529. 38:51The answer is very simple, the Democrats reduced the threshold from 66 votes to 60 votes because
  530. 38:58at the time they no longer had 66 votes in the Senate.
  531. 39:02So they did a quick whipping of the vote and said, well, we got 60, so well that's what
  532. 39:05we put the threshold.
  533. 39:06And then when you find out why they reduced it to 60, because the Democrats were trying
  534. 39:11to fight against civil rights legislation, I frankly don't know why the Republicans don't
  535. 39:18use that against them.
  536. 39:19I don't know why.
  537. 39:21I don't know why.
  538. 39:22It's almost as if they like losing.
  539. 39:31I mean, I can see it now, John Thune, and the joint press conference,
  540. 39:38get Speaker Johnson, who has already said that the Senate needed to fight,
  541. 39:42to get to save America, act passed, and say, you know,
  542. 39:45we sick and tied the Democrats dictating to our nation what is,
  543. 39:51and what is not policy worth considering for a full vote of the Senate.
  544. 39:55The last time this Senate threshold was changed,
  545. 39:58Democrats reduced it from 66 to 60 because they wanted to continue to fight against what
  546. 40:04we had already articulated in our Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal
  547. 40:09and that the United States of America is for every American citizen. And so to affirm that notion,
  548. 40:16we're going to suspend the 60-vote threshold to vote on the Save America Act. And then once the vote
  549. 40:22is taken and we're finished, we'll put it back. Is that so hard? You think the American people
  550. 40:31wouldn't understand that. When you have James Carver and how long have you been hearing it?
  551. 40:38Hey, listen, right now we can't do nothing about it. It's six Republican appointed judges to three.
  552. 40:44You can't call it really a six, three court because it's not really a six, three court,
  553. 40:48you know, but you do have a six judge justice majority debt that is voted in a certain way in
  554. 40:55certain issues. James Carver said, man, forget it. We just going to make the court 13. We just
  555. 41:00going to make it 13 and we're going to add four more justices that we want to go and just do it.
  556. 41:05He said do what they want.
  557. 41:06Just do it.
  558. 41:07Eat our dust.
  559. 41:08What can they do about it?
  560. 41:13It's high time for people to wake up, man.
  561. 41:16If you don't recognize it yet, the Spam Burger phenomenon is not an aberration.
  562. 41:21This is today's Democrat Party.
  563. 41:25They only campaign in a moderate fashion when that's necessary to win because Virginia just
  564. 41:29had the Republican governor Glenn Yunken.
  565. 41:32But when they don't have the campaign in a moderate fashion, you're not going to hear
  566. 41:35any moderate rhetoric.
  567. 41:37You're only going to hear moderate, red, red, red, red, red, when it's necessary to campaign,
  568. 41:42but make no mistake about it.
  569. 41:43The governing commitment is entirely Spamburgerish, entirely Mamdani-ish, entirely Moses Mordecai
  570. 41:52Marxish, entirely.
  571. 41:57You know, I got a story in my stack that I probably won't get to all the details of it
  572. 42:00today, but Mamdani, all of the stuff he promised, he's finding out straight away that they don't
  573. 42:06have enough money to do it all.
  574. 42:09You don't say, Mamdani.
  575. 42:11You don't say and water is wet.
  576. 42:15Why you crazy?
  577. 42:17This dude proposed, oh we're gonna have five city owned grocery stores in the budget for
  578. 42:23all the grocery stores.
  579. 42:24It's gonna, $30 million for grocery store and then the first store to project projection
  580. 42:28is $70 million for the first store for one.
  581. 42:32That's before losses.
  582. 42:34Yeah that's the project to construct it.
  583. 42:37If you build it, no one will come.
  584. 42:41And you know how many times you heard people say, man we need to have like chicken, chicken,
  585. 42:45for the efficiency of the DMV.
  586. 42:47No, Mom, daddy said, let's do the opposite.
  587. 42:48Let's get rid of Chick-fil-A and bring the DMV to your groceries.
  588. 42:51Let's DMV your groceries.
  589. 42:53Let's do that.
  590. 42:53Let's do that.
  591. 42:56And the people say, oh, you can't believe this.
  592. 42:59There's not enough money to do all of these things.
  593. 43:02And water is wet.
  594. 43:03On the troubling front, some of you might recall in December, RFK Jr., who is the point
  595. 43:13person for the Make America Healthy, again, initiative, issued a declaration from the
  596. 43:21Health and Human Services Department, which he is the secretary, all right?
  597. 43:24He is.
  598. 43:25It's a cabinet position for which he was confirmed that seems it's been effectively neutered in
  599. 43:32that position.
  600. 43:33And I have to tell you, I saw, I thought when Dr. Robert Malone resigned from the vaccination
  601. 43:38advisory committee, I thought, oh, this is not good.
  602. 43:42And this is not good.
  603. 43:45Well back in December, RFK Jr. announced that they were changing the advice and removing
  604. 43:58what he called the sex rejecting procedures from being able to be funded through Medicaid
  605. 44:02and Medicaid.
  606. 44:03You can't use tax dollars to abuse children.
  607. 44:08He made that announcement.
  608. 44:11For those who may not remember it, I'm going to take us back to December for a moment to
  609. 44:15hear RFK's announcement on that regard.
  610. 44:17I'm saying this because there was a lawsuit concerning what he announced back in December
  611. 44:20and I'll bring you up to speed.
  612. 44:22After we listen to him watch this brief clip, clip number seven, clip seven.
  613. 44:26Go.
  614. 44:27This morning I signed a declaration, sex rejecting procedures are neither safe nor effective treatment
  615. 44:33for children with gender dysphoria.
  616. 44:37These procedures fail to me professionally recognize the standards of care.
  617. 44:42Medical professionals or entities providing sex rejecting procedures to children are out
  618. 44:47of compliance with these standards of healthcare. This declaration is a clear directive to providers
  619. 44:54to follow the science and the overwhelming body of evidence that these procedures hurt
  620. 45:00not help children. Additionally, CMS is proposing two new rules. The first rule are hospitals
  621. 45:09that participate in Medicare and Medicaid, which is almost every hospital from performing
  622. 45:15these dangerous and harmful procedures.
  623. 45:18The second rule prohibits the federal Medicaid dollars from funding the sex-rejecting procedures
  624. 45:23on minors.
  625. 45:24Furthermore, HHS is also moving to reverse the Biden administration's attempt to include
  626. 45:31gender dysphoria within the definition of disability.
  627. 45:36Well I play that for you because RFK's announcement there may complete sense that we have all data
  628. 45:43from around the world now and data from our own country. I reported on this show how you
  629. 45:49had that trans insanity clinic in LA that we had that are on for years that said that
  630. 45:56social transitioning and medicating children who struggle with dysphoria didn't help them
  631. 46:01at all at best. It made the circumstances worse. And they had the data but it just wouldn't
  632. 46:06publish it because it went against the narrative. Where R.K. Jr. announced that but unfortunately
  633. 46:12a coalition of states plus one state governor, Josh Shapiro, and I'm going to name the state's
  634. 46:18Delaware, New York, Michigan, Rhode Island, Oregon, Minnesota, Vermont, Massachusetts,
  635. 46:24Illinois, Washington, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, New Mexico, California, Wisconsin, Connecticut,
  636. 46:29New Jersey, Hawaii, Nevada, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania's governor, Josh Shapiro,
  637. 46:35sued the Department of Health and Human Services to invalidate RFK Junior's announcement and
  638. 46:45to say, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
  639. 46:47We need to continue to trans kids and we need tax dollars to flow through Medicaid and Medicare
  640. 46:51in order to do so.
  641. 46:54And you have this judge, this federal judge, oh man, Mustafa Kashubai is his name.
  642. 47:05Stauffer Keshubai, who is himself, basically a transgender activist who was appointed by
  643. 47:11Mr. Ice-cream man by the way.
  644. 47:14This is his article, if you're watching this show, this is his article he published in the
  645. 47:17Advanced Sheet, which is a quarterly publication in the Oregon Women Lawyers' Public Periodical
  646. 47:26to where he takes on pronouns and privilege.
  647. 47:29Aww.
  648. 47:31You need to, you know, call people by their pronouns.
  649. 47:37But this is the judge.
  650. 47:38This is the judge in the case.
  651. 47:40I mean, I could be wrong here, but I think a motion to recuse would have been in order because
  652. 47:45you have a lawsuit specifically concerning gender dysphoria treatments for children.
  653. 47:51And you have a judge who's already written about what his position is on it.
  654. 47:55So you think the 20 states who filed that lawsuit who just happened to land in his district,
  655. 47:58you think that was an accident, they just happened to land in Judge Koschubai's court,
  656. 48:05Koshubai's court.
  657. 48:07I don't think so.
  658. 48:11And so you have, you have this guys and this is why civics is so important.
  659. 48:16We have to understand the constitution.
  660. 48:17You literally have a judge saying, no, he has the authority to nullify a decision announced
  661. 48:22by the secretary for health and human services because the federal recommendations concerning
  662. 48:29health care policies, which is governed under the executive branch because the judge that
  663. 48:35like it, he says, no, you can't do it.
  664. 48:37No, you cannot do it.
  665. 48:38You can't do it.
  666. 48:42And I mentioned that I was concerned when Dr. Robert Malone resigned from his CDC vaccine
  667. 48:48advisory role because some of you may recall, Dr. Malone was one of the few people along
  668. 48:53with Dr. Peter McCullough and along with the docs we had on this show to say, yo, this
  669. 49:00mRNA vaccine stuff, this is not a vaccine.
  670. 49:06This is not.
  671. 49:08And so he resigned from the vaccine advisory committee following another court's ruling
  672. 49:18that, oh, no, no, the way that RFK Jr. appointed the advisory committee was illegal.
  673. 49:24And here's something that's concerning.
  674. 49:25The Trump administration did not appeal that decision.
  675. 49:29They did not appeal that decision.
  676. 49:31A judge can't tell the secretary of health and human services how advisory committees are
  677. 49:36to be appointed.
  678. 49:37On what ground?
  679. 49:40What case and controversy and grant you standing to challenge that?
  680. 49:45For the knowledge.
  681. 49:46Yeah.
  682. 49:48said or the knowledge, but the Trump administration didn't
  683. 49:52challenge it. So have we entered the place where RFK
  684. 49:58juniors has been kind of neutered to the point of being a
  685. 50:01figurehead? Man, I'm telling you, the surest way to frustrate
  686. 50:08the American people was campaign on one thing and do the
  687. 50:11exact opposite. And we have got to see some of the things that
  688. 50:18have been promised, come to the front come to the fore I have a
  689. 50:22storm I stack I even covered I told Bobby about it, we have
  690. 50:25cast retail promising arrests for the people who were involved
  691. 50:27of the shenanigans in the fraud in the 2020 election.
  692. 50:32I might not be from Missouri, but you got to show me.
