0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
0:07This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
0:11It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
0:15Delivering people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
0:18And the philosophies of this world.
0:20God has called you and me to be His ambassador.
0:24Even in this dark moment.
0:26Let's not miss our moment.
0:29And now, the Hamilton Corner.
0:31I certainly don't want to miss this moment.
0:34This is Bishop E.W. Jackson in for A-Wam, Hamilton the 3rd.
0:37It is my pleasure and honor, as always, to sit in this chair
0:42and try to do as good a job as I know that young man does.
0:45And thank all of you for all of your prayers and support
0:49for making American Family Radio possible, frankly,
0:52because we could not do this without you.
0:54So God bless each and every one of you.
0:56Well, I've got a very interesting program planned for you.
0:59In fact, I expect to be with you tomorrow night as well.
1:02So please tune in again.
1:04I will have a guest with me tomorrow night.
1:06Bunny Pound, who is the woman who pioneered America
1:09reads the Bible.
1:10I'm sure you all heard about that.
1:12At almost week long reading of the Bible by many people
1:16from across the country, including the president
1:18of the United States.
1:20So it's gonna be interesting to hear Bunny tell the story
1:23about how all that happened.
1:25So tune in tomorrow.
1:26She will be with me for a good part of the program.
1:29tomorrow. Now look, today I'm going to talk to you about something that I have been thinking
1:34about for the last several days, particularly given Memorial Day weekend, which has just
1:39passed. You know, Memorial Day weekend for, I would dare say, the overwhelming majority
1:46of Americans, maybe 75%, 80% of Americans, is a time for remembering all of those people
1:54who sacrifice their all in behalf of our liberty.
1:59And we don't take that for granted
2:01because we know that liberty is not the gift of our government,
2:04it is the gift, the grant of Almighty God.
2:08And we take that very, very seriously.
2:10And we ought to, and I think most of us who think normally
2:17have grateful hearts for that.
2:19Most of us who know anything about the world around us
2:22rather than being resentful and bitter and angry and at our country as if, you know, America's
2:28the most terrible place on earth to live or to be, we are grateful that we are here, grateful
2:35that God saw fit for us to be born here, grateful that God saw fit for us to live in the greatest
2:44nation of opportunity that the world has ever known.
2:49And folks, that is not an overstatement.
2:51I mean, that is an accurate and factual statement.
2:56There's no better place that's ever existed on Earth for human beings to no better nation
3:03that's ever existed on Earth for human beings to fulfill their God-given gifts and potential
3:08and to follow those gifts, to follow that potential to the highest place they are capable of going.
3:13There's no better place on Earth for that.
3:18One would think that we would be grateful first and foremost to God who gave us this nation
3:25and to all of those who have shed their blood and given their lives that we might enjoy the
3:30liberty that God has given us, that we might protect it and defend it.
3:35You know, the ultimate steward of our liberty is each of us.
3:40You and I are ultimately responsible for our own personal liberty and we delegate some of
3:46responsibility to our government because we know that it is a responsibility that we alone
3:54cannot take on in every instance. So for example, when in Iran wants to destroy us with nuclear
4:01weapons, we know that you and I are in no position to defend ourselves alone against such a possibility
4:09and for them an inevitability from their perspective. And so we charge our government with the responsibility
4:15protecting us from these monsters who would seek to destroy us all. But that
4:22ultimate responsibility is ours and we delegate it where necessary. That means
4:27that individual liberty is a precious gift to each of us and each of us is a
4:32steward of that liberty. That's when the Second Amendment becomes so
4:37important because people who don't understand that they devalue, in fact they
4:42would like to invalidate the Second Amendment because they simply don't
4:45realize that the Second Amendment protects our right to defend our individual liberty
4:53from criminals, from predators, from a tyrannical government that would seek to enslave us,
5:03that would seek to completely control us.
5:08And the sad reality is that even in the United States of America, we cannot take for granted
5:13that such tyranny could never arise.
5:17We just can't.
5:19Think about this, show you heard excerpts of Zoron Mamdani saying that if buildings do not
5:27in New York do not meet his specifications, they will seize those buildings and they will
5:35convey those buildings over to others, non-profit corporations or other people who they believe
5:44will do a better job.
5:45In other words, the government will take the property from the owners and give it to whom
5:49they will.
5:52Can you spell communism?
5:56Because that's exactly what that boils down to.
6:01Here in Virginia, we are counting down the days now because on July 1st, all so-called
6:07assault weapons will be banned.
6:10All firearms, which have magazines, well let's put it this way, all magazines of 15 or more
6:18rounds will be banned. You will not be able to buy NAR 15, you will not be able to buy
6:24a semi-automatic shotgun and you will not be able to own a magazine that has 15 or more
6:30rounds, that holds 15 or more rounds. Now they've grandfathered in in order not to lock up the
6:34entire population because that's what that would ultimately require. And in order not
6:40to end up trying to put people in jail who are otherwise law-abiding citizens and the
6:44since the law has now changed, they want to turn you into a criminal. They've released
6:47the criminals, of course, to run the streets and hurt people, rape people, rob people,
6:51kill people. But the law-abiding citizen who has done nothing to anyone, it just happens
6:56to be a firearm owner because you have a magazine that they have decided is no longer approved,
7:02they want to give you a fine and put you in jail up to one year in prison. That's what
7:08the law has been changed to in Virginia, sadly. George Washington must be looking over the
7:13the balcony of heaven thinking what in the world has gone wrong with my beloved Virginia?
7:19Well we're going to do what we can to correct it. My point is, and I'm not in any way suggesting
7:25that we take up arms against the government of Virginia over this. What I'm suggesting
7:29is that this is precisely what the founding fathers had in mind, a government that would
7:34step by step encroach upon our rights and our liberties to the point where we ultimately
7:39had to fight the government in order to be free because that's exactly how this country
7:42She was birthed.
7:43Yeah, the country was birthed by the founding fathers and a bunch of other patriots saying,
7:50we will no longer accept the tyranny of King George over us, period.
7:56And if we're not willing to accept our peaceful withdrawal from his authority, we will fight
8:03to throw off the authority.
8:06Not God forbid that that ever becomes necessary in our country, but I believe that the founding
8:10fathers being very sensitive to that because they themselves had to face that eventuality
8:18wanted to make sure that every American had that right and the wherewithal with which to
8:25protect that right.
8:29And of course there are people who want to take that right away.
8:33And that leads me to something.
8:36I mentioned Mamdani and there's Abigail, I call her Spinnberger, her name is Spinnberger,
8:43Spinnburg because she spun away into office and said, oh, I'm a moderate. I'm a moderate. I'm a moderate. I don't want to do that
8:47I don't I don't want to change anything. I don't I don't I don't want to get rid of ice
8:51I don't want to and then she got elected and I mean the radicalism just began to ooze out of her every poor
9:00But you know have you thought about this and we discussed this before
9:07what is the commonality between these radical Muslims and these communists
9:14Yes.
9:16Because they are joined at the hip.
9:20I'm sure you know that there's an investigation of what right now of Hassan Piker over his
9:31trip to Cuba.
9:34Now Hassan Piker is a Muslim.
9:37Now they said, well, he's not a practicing Muslim.
9:40You are Muslim by virtue of your father's religion.
9:44If your father's a Muslim, you're born, you are Muslim.
9:47He's a Muslim, but he just seemed apparently loves communism.
9:52And I've thought about what is the commonality because we've often joked that if Islam actually
10:01took over, these radical leftists, the so-called LGBTQ crowd and the socialists, they'd be
10:13the first ones to go.
10:16I mean, they would, it wouldn't take but two seconds for them to get executed.
10:24If the radical Muslims actually got the mochte that they're looking for, who would establish
10:31Sharia law and implement it at the point of a gun or bayonet.
10:38And these people who are liberal and we want to kill unborn babies and we think guys are
10:45born into girls' bodies, they would wipe them out in the blink of an eye.
10:54But right now, they joined it.
10:57Why?
10:58Here's the reason.
11:00And I want to expound a little bit further on this in the next segment.
11:03But let me just give you the thumbnail.
11:06Number one, they share a common hatred of the United States of America.
11:14The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
11:19They hate our country.
11:20They hate our culture.
11:22They hate our Judeo-Christian values.
11:25They hate our liberty.
11:28They just hate the United States of America.
11:31They hate our commitment to Israel.
11:35The left and Islam have somewhat different reasons, but nevertheless, they are joined in their anti-Semitic
11:43passions.
11:44But here's the second thing.
11:49This is something that we don't really think about.
11:54Most people don't.
11:56They share a common love of controlling
12:02and enslaving people.
12:06Oh yes, folks.
12:08See, that's why the partnership inevitably,
12:11where one or the other to take over,
12:14the partnership would ultimately dissolve
12:16because they both want absolute power and control
12:20and enslavement of others.
12:23Right now they're joined at the hip because neither of them has that, but that's what they both want.
12:31You know, I've said this before and forgive me if this is repetitive or redundant,
12:36but you know, communism is really nothing but a glorified slave system.
12:41That's really all it is.
12:43When the government owns all the property, the government controls everything.
12:47They control how much food you get.
12:48They control where you live.
12:50They control where you work.
12:52They control what you can do.
12:54They control where you go to school.
12:56That's slavery folks.
12:58I mean, it's slavery when they have life
13:02and death control over you.
13:06And almost virtually with a word,
13:09they can take your life away
13:12and it couldn't even be challenged.
13:17That's slavery.
13:20And that's really what Marxism, socialism, communism,
13:23it's ultimately is.
13:25And the left is toying with this under the guise of compassion.
13:31Oh, the government needs to do this and the government needs to do that and the government
13:35needs to do this and the government needs to take care of that and the government needs
13:38to do everything.
13:40This is attributed to Thomas Jefferson, whether he actually said it or not, I believe this really
13:44captures his sentiment, the government that's big enough to give you everything you want
13:48is big enough to take everything you have.
13:54And that's exactly where Sharia law, radical Islam, Islam in general, that's where it
14:00goes and that's exactly where Marxism goes to totalitarianism, to absolute control and
14:07slavery and enslavement of everybody.
14:10That's where they want to go.
14:12And they're mutually compatible in that sense, except neither one of them would accept the
14:20other sharing power.
14:21And I'll get a little bit into that when we come back.
14:23This is Bishop E.W. Jackson and for Abraham Hamilton the third, this is the Hamilton Corner.
14:27We'll be back in just a moment.
15:00a discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
15:03We live in a crazy, dangerous world
15:06that includes spiritual warfare,
15:08raging everywhere you go.
15:10We who are followers of Christ need to be warrior minded
15:13in our approach to how we follow and live for Christ
15:15in this dangerous world.
15:17Not being alert, making unwise decisions,
15:20moving without a sense of urgency,
15:22any and all of these actions in wartime
15:24can literally cause someone to get killed.
15:27Psalm 91 is a unique weapon in scripture
15:30that addresses many of the perils in life.
15:33Are you making it a priority to pray?
15:35Psalm 91 every single day.
15:38If not, why not?
15:40Well, I'm not a fanatic
15:42and I don't see a need to pray
15:44this particular scripture every single day.
15:47Well, if that is you,
15:48I believe you'd be wise to change your mind
15:51and to begin to pray this prayer every day.
15:53No one or nothing can protect you like God can.
16:04Shining light into the darkness.
16:06This is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
16:11And this is E.W. Jackson in the Abraham Hamilton.
16:14The third, great to be with you.
16:17I wanna start taking calls in the next segment.
16:19And of course it's open lines.
16:20You can raise any issue you like.
16:22But you like to comment on the things I'm talking about.
16:25Of course I'd be glad to hear what you have to say about that.
16:29Think about what we saw during Memorial Day.
16:34I said, we expressed our most of us,
16:38expressed our gratitude for those who have given their lives
16:41on behalf of our liberty.
16:44But on the left, you had some really very strange reactions,
16:50ugly reactions, frankly.
16:52Did you hear about the congressional candidate
16:55from California who refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance,
17:00refused to look at the flag, turned her back
17:03whenever she saw the flag?
17:04This is during Memorial Day weekend.
17:07This is how the left, the demon-crat party,
17:12this is how they choose to express themselves
17:16because again, they have this hatred, this bitterness,
17:20this anger, this resentment of the United States of America
17:24instead of an attitude of gratitude.
17:27And then there was Jacob Fry,
17:30the infamous mayor of Minneapolis,
17:33who in his statement honored George Floyd,
17:41not the people who surrendered their very lives
17:46who shed their blood in our behalf
17:49all across this world, not them, no, no, no, no,
17:52George Floyd.
17:56Now, you know, sometimes you really,
18:03the level of demonic deception is almost in scutable, folks.
18:08I mean, it's just unfathomable.
18:12Yes, I believe that George Floyd did indeed
18:15suffer an injustice, but he brought that injustice
18:21upon himself by engaging in fentanyl use
18:28and methamphetamine use and trying to pass counterfeit money
18:35and not cooperating with the police.
18:38And he sadly fell into the clutches of a police officer
18:41who just had terrible judgment.
18:43I don't know whether it was based upon racial animus,
18:46or if I don't know what it was.
18:48For me, that stuff is irrelevant.
18:51The only question for me is the behavior itself.
18:54Is it lawful?
18:55Is it unlawful?
18:55Joy found that it was unlawful.
18:57He's in jail now.
18:57But what we know is that George Floyd's system
19:01was filled with fentanyl, filled with methamphetamine.
19:05His heart may have given out to me.
19:09He had all kinds of problems that he brought on himself.
19:13And people want to erect statues and then associate him
19:17with the brave, heroic people who gave their lives for us,
19:25doing everything right in that instance, and nothing wrong.
19:32And finally, he got so much blowback from it
19:34that he finally did, dang, to put out a statement
19:37that acknowledged the people who'd given their lives
19:40Memorial Day two, but that was an afterthought because it wasn't wasn't about that because
19:45as I've said many times, they don't even like us folks. They don't like Americans. They are
19:53Americans, at least in name only, at least legally, but they don't like us because they
19:58don't like our values. They don't like our ideals. They don't like our patriotism. They
20:02don't like us honoring the servicemen. Oh, no, no, you ought to be honoring George Floyd.
20:09why? What did he do to earn me honoring him? He was a victim, yes, but that doesn't mean
20:19that you're some, that doesn't mean I should somehow lionize you and somehow you become a
20:24hero because you're a victim, particularly when your victimization was in part contributed
20:28to by yourself. You know, and when I was practicing law, we had a concept called contributory
20:38negligence. And what that means is, and they probably still use the concept, what that means is that
20:44even when you are injured by someone, by somewhat as a result of someone else's negligence,
20:54did you in some way contribute? In other words, should you have taken some action to prevent
20:59the injury and you were, you were negligent too by not seeing that or foreseeing that by doing
21:07whatever you did, it would likely lead to injury, even if the person who set the situation up,
21:13who created the problem. I mean, so for example, you're walking in a supermarket and you see a great
21:18big old puddle of water and there's a sign there that says, do not walk slippery, do not walk.
21:26Now, maybe the sign is not enough. Maybe there should be a gate offense or something,
21:34something around that spot. So to some extent, you might say, well, the company's negligence
21:38because they should have prevented people from walking.
21:40But if you walked in that spot, you've got some responsibility too because you could have
21:44walked around it.
21:47So you were contributory negligent in refusing to acknowledge that that was a dangerous thing
21:54you did.
21:55Even if the person on the other side of that, the person responsible for that situation could
22:00have taken further actions to prevent the accident.
22:06So in other words, maybe you win $10,000 for your back injuries.
22:11And the jury says, but you know what, we're going to deduct $5,000 from that because you
22:15should have known better than the walkthrough that.
22:19So this is the situation.
22:20I mean, yeah, I think the George Floyd did suffer some mistreatment, but he brought that
22:26on himself.
22:27He put himself in the position where that could happen.
22:33You know, we've got these team rages.
22:36rages or what they're calling now,
22:38teen takeovers happening all over the country.
22:42Now we had one here in Virginia,
22:45in Norfolk, in the Ghent area where some guy
22:46went out there with a flame door,
22:48dropped the poured gasoline all over the street
22:50and hit it with a flame floor and lit the whole street
22:53up in flames and fire.
22:56I mean, I realized how many people could have been
22:58horribly disfigured or killed by this kind of action,
23:02but it was part of this teen takeover.
23:04We're here in the streets and we're gonna do
23:06whatever we want to do.
23:09I mean, if you get injured in a situation like that,
23:14well, you're a part of that, well, guess what?
23:15You might be a victim, but you're
23:18a contributor to your own downfall too.
23:22And you don't turn a person like that into a hero.
23:28You may lament that they were stupid enough to do what they did
23:30and lament whatever else contributed to that situation,
23:34but you don't erect a statue.
23:38So yeah, Jacob Fry comes out on Memorial Day.
23:40We're going to honor George Floyd.
23:41I mean, oh my goodness gracious folks.
23:44I think about the brave men and women.
23:47I think of Michael Mansour who during the Iraq war,
23:51if I'm not mistaken, I think it was during the Iraq war,
23:53Navy Seal up on a rooftop providing cover
23:57for some fellow troops and somebody,
23:59Islamic terrorist throws a hand grenade up there on the roof.
24:03And Michael Mansour, who was, he was the head of his team,
24:07he was leader of his team,
24:09And he was near the stairwell from which the grenade came,
24:14but the grenade went past him.
24:16He was in the best position to escape injury
24:19by running down the stairs, but he didn't.
24:23He turned and dived on the grenade to save his fellow seals,
24:28and every single one of them was saved,
24:30and Michael Mansour was killed.
24:32Now you mean to tell me, you want me
24:34to put George Floyd in that category
24:36if you've lost your mind?
24:42He doesn't deserve it.
24:44And anybody who does that is insulting every military veteran
24:49who gave their lives or shed their blood for this great nation.
24:54Yeah, it makes me godly angry and turning your flag,
24:59your back on the flag.
25:00Just leave.
25:02Go find a flag that you don't mind honoring and acknowledging
25:08instead of standing around here in our country
25:10and salting all of us.
25:14And look, these, are you ready for this one?
25:23Did you hear AOC talking about the Northerners need
25:29to roll up on the South?
25:33What?
25:36I mean, what is wrong with these people?
25:40But again, what's wrong with them?
25:42They just don't love our country
25:45and they don't like the rest of us.
25:49You know, because the love of God
25:50and she had in it brought in our hearts, I don't like AOC.
25:54I don't like anything she stands for.
25:56But as a Christian, I love her because I realized,
25:59God loves her and wants to save her.
26:01He wants to deliver her.
26:03He wants to redeem her.
26:04She has just as lost as a duck in a hailstorm.
26:07She doesn't know which way is up or down.
26:11But she's convinced that she knows it all.
26:15And is calling on, because I guess because
26:18of the redistricting stuff, is calling on
26:20in Northerners to pull up on the South.
26:25Now what in the world is she talking about?
26:31Not to mention, if she's in fact talking
26:35about a violent confrontation, I would not recommend that.
26:39Because we southerners, and even though I was raised
26:44in North, my family came from Virginia,
26:47I consider myself a southerner, we southerners don't play.
26:52We believe as I said earlier, we do have a right to defend ourselves.
26:55Now don't get me wrong.
26:56I am not in any way encouraging violence against anybody or harming anybody.
27:00But I will reaffirm again our fundamental right to defend ourselves against those who
27:06would do violence against us and against our families.
27:08You barking up the wrong tree system.
27:13But again, these folks just don't have any respect for the rule of law, any respect
27:21for common decency.
27:24You hear them complaining about, you know, they've had some recent protests at some of these
27:30ICE detention centers and they're complaining about the treatment.
27:34But, you know, not a single American killed by some illegal alien,
27:39not a single child abused in trying to traffic that child into this country
27:45and make money off that child. Not a single woman raped
27:48has been, has been highlighted by these leftists in these demon
27:54crafts. Never, ever, ever. They don't, they don't even bring that up.
27:59Why? Because they don't really care about what happens to the American
28:02people. They care about their own power, their own control. And
28:05they see these illegal aliens as an opportunity to get where they
28:08want to go. And they don't care what they do to you or me. Just,
28:13just, just protect them. Just justify them. Just, just keep the
28:18moving toward the voting booth so that one day they can vote us in and we can have absolute
28:23power and control. We can enslave the American people the way they deserve to be enslaved.
28:30I'll tell you folks, we are in a spiritual crisis in our country because we've had so many
28:44people who think this way. You know, 30% of ages 18 to 29, 30% of people ages 18 to 29,
28:53I believe that socialism is superior to capitalism and we ought to move toward a socialist system.
28:59That's almost a third of the young people coming along in our country.
29:03These are the people who are going to move into positions of power and influence and authority
29:07and a third of them believe that nonsense.
29:10Well, they've been indoctrinated to believe it.
29:13They've been taught to believe it.
29:16Well, here at On American Family Radio at least, we're seeking to disabuse people of these wacky notions.
29:26Well, look, in the next segment, I want to hear your comments about the things that are
29:33going on, and particularly the craziness.
29:36You know, Memorial Day used to be a time like July 4th when we were all united in our patriotism,
29:42and now you got people, I'm not celebrating July 4th.
29:45Why should I celebrate July 4th?
29:46You know that Colin Kaepernick craziness.
29:49You know, and I want to say, you don't have to celebrate July 4th.
29:56You don't have to stay here.
29:59I mean, do yourself a favor and go live where you will be happy.
30:04And they say, I think I'd be a little bit happy if you left, you know,
30:07because I wouldn't have to hear this nonsense from a person who benefits from
30:12all the blessings this, this country bestows upon you.
30:15Because it's always wealthy celebrities, people who are living the best,
30:20driving the best, protected by bodyguards, eating the best,
30:25eating in the finest restaurants, buying the finest foods,
30:29who are complaining about how terrible the country is and how much they hate it.
30:35And you want to say, you know what?
30:37Don't let the door knob hit you on the way out.
30:41You don't just...
30:43I mean, why do you suffer living in this country that you so abhor?
30:54But we know what the game is. The game is better to reign in hell than serve in heaven.
31:02they would rather have a socialist dystopia to control than have a wonderful, free, prosperous
31:09nation in which they can't have absolute control.
31:16That was the Devil's attitude.
31:18According to John Milton, I think he nailed it too.
31:22John Milton's Paradise Law, he said that that's the Devil's attitude, better to reign in hell
31:29than serve in heaven.
31:32I think that's the attitude of the left.
31:34We would rather reign over an absolutely wrecked America as long as we're in power than to
31:46serve in a country where we've got this little irritant called the Constitution of the United
31:54States that stops us from having absolute power in control.
31:58You know, I've raised this question with people and they have often sort of looked at me because
32:07They hadn't thought about it before I said,
32:09what was wrong with heaven that the devil rebelled?
32:13What was wrong?
32:14I'd say what was wrong with his sight?
32:16He didn't run it.
32:20We've got the same attitude on the left.
32:22The numbers 888-589-8840, that's 888-589-8840.
32:27This is Bishop E.W. Jackson in for Abraham Hamilton the third.
32:30Here on the Hamilton Corner stand by,
32:32we're coming back to take your calls.
33:09If we lose this cultural war,
33:12We're going to have a hedonistic humanistic society.
33:15Discover the story of the culture warrior Don Wildman
33:18and how he went head to head with Hollywood,
33:21Playboy, the homosexual agenda, and the Disney Empire.
33:25The movement Don started paved the way for Christians
33:28to boldly stand for truth and righteousness
33:31in a hostile culture.

33:38The Awakening with Bishop E.W. Jackson.
33:41We have not been made the greatest nation of history of mankind,
33:45by denigrating God.
33:47We have become the greatest nation on earth
33:50because we are a nation that acknowledged all by the God
33:54to be the source of our values, our rights, our liberties,
34:00and that therefore we are accountable to Him.
34:03The Awakening on the Podcast page at aFR.net.
34:13The Hamilton Quarter podcast and one-minute commentaries are available at aFR.net back to
34:19the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
34:22All right, we're back.
34:24This is E.W. Jackson in for Abraham Hamilton III.
34:27The number is 888-588-8840.
34:31That's 888-588-58840.
34:34Would love to take your calls here, which you have to say about this.
34:37Let me just say because this is some pretty dark stuff we're talking about and it's very,
34:42real and I think we're at a crisis point in our country, culturally and spiritually.
34:50We've got to pray.
34:51We have got to pray in prequatory prayers against these folks and pray that God would just introduce
34:56such confusion.
34:58I would say we have to pray prayers like Jehoshaphat prayed.
35:03Lord, we don't know what to do but our eyes are on you and then set ourselves and stand
35:07still and see the salvation of the Lord.
35:09By the way, when they set themselves, they didn't go home and go to sleep.
35:12They took to the battlefield.
35:14They took to the battlefield and God stepped in and gave them a mighty deliverance and turned
35:20the armies of the Moab's, the Moabites and the Ammonites and the people of Mount Seer
35:26against one another and they destroyed themselves.
35:31They had come together hoping to destroy God's people and they ended up destroying each other.
35:37So look, I don't want anybody's destruction, but if it comes between they're destroying
35:42this country and destroying themselves by their own wicked plans, I'll accept a ladder
35:49any day of the week and twice on Sunday because they're basically reaping what they've sown.
35:55I don't have ill will toward these people, but I certainly have ill will toward their plans
35:58for our country.
36:00So we got to pray against this stuff and then of course fully engage in the process to the
36:04full extent that God allows us to. The number again is 888-589-8840. Let's go to your calls.
36:13We've got Brian from Indiana. Brian, welcome.
36:18Thank you for taking my call, Bishop. I just wanted to first of all thank you for your faithfulness
36:23to the Lord and your love for the gospel of Jesus. And secondly, thank you for your love
36:30for this country. I appreciate you so much. You know, it just sickens me that these communists
36:38want to take over our country. And you know, if only we would have listened to Joe McCarthy
36:44back in the day, maybe we wouldn't be where we're at today. Anyway, thanks, take my call
36:49and I'll let you.
36:50Thank you.
36:51I'll comment from there.
36:52Thank you. Well, listen, you know, when you mentioned Joe McCarthy and it conjures up
36:56such monstrous things in the hearts of so many people.
36:59But I'll tell you something, Joe McCarthy had a point
37:02and they destroyed him.
37:03I mean, they really did a job on him.
37:06And he may have contributed to that a little bit himself as well.
37:10And I'll tell you this why I think
37:12rather than a single person leading this charge,
37:15we need a lot of people leading it.
37:17I've called for a national security audit.
37:20We need to look at all of the ways
37:24in which our country is being undermined from within.
37:27Birthright citizenship, the extent to which
37:31communist China is financing a lot of these protests
37:35and a lot of these anti-American activities
37:37going on in our country.
37:40The spies that they have all over the country,
37:42every now and then we see one arrested.
37:45There was a time when we saw several,
37:47about in fact I think at one point
37:49there were like a dozen of them being charged.
37:50Of course the Biden administration
37:52to drive a lot of the charges against them.
37:54But we've got communist spies.
37:56Remember the, I think it was Arcadia, California?
38:00The mayor, the mayor was convicted of spying
38:04for communist China.
38:07And then the institutional infiltration,
38:09all the Confucius Institutes, the purchasing of land
38:12near some of our most sensitive facilities,
38:15the purchasing of our meat plants and farmland,
38:20the extent to which communist China has been allowed to take over certain essential industries that we are dependent upon for our own sustenance.
38:29All of that, we need to do a national security audit and correct all of that.
38:35I mean, there's no better president to do with than President Trump.
38:38Not on the way that he started, but in those holistic terms.
38:41But somebody's got to, and they'll call that a witch hunt, and they'll say, you know, you're racist, and, you know,
38:48I mean, you know, they'll try it out all the usual bromides, but it's got to be done anyway
38:53for the survival of our country.
38:57Thank you for the call.
38:58My friend, let's go to Mike in West Virginia.
39:00Mike, welcome.
39:01Who planted time bombs and you were able with the ship and running the Democrat party leadership.
39:29Wow.
39:30Well, you may be right, Mike.
39:32I tell you one thing.
39:34In my humble opinion, and thank you for the call, by the way, Mike, in my humble opinion,
39:40The spirit of the demon-crat party has not changed.
39:45It has always been the party of control.
39:48It has always been the party of slavery.
39:51And it has nothing to do with race.
39:55It's the spirit of domination as opposed to appropriate dominion.
40:03See, God gave man dominion, but man in his perverse thinking,
40:07once he became separated from God, didn't want dominion.
40:10He wanted domination.
40:13And that's exactly what they become the party of.
40:18They don't believe in individual liberty.
40:19They only believe in collectivism because the collective should have a right to impose upon
40:23you what you think, what you say, and what you do.
40:27And so in that sense, it really hasn't changed.
40:29The packaging has changed.
40:31The patina has changed.
40:33But the real, this insatiable thirst and hunger and desire to control people, it hasn't
40:43changed. It has not changed. Whether it's the Ku Klux Klan or it's Antifa, right? And you
40:54see the Southern Poverty, Southern Poverty Law Center, take all that, because it's not
41:00about being Southern, it's not about poverty either. I'm insulted. It does the Southern Poverty
41:06Law Center. What's it? Here they were five millions of dollars financing the very organizations
41:13they claim to be against, you know, to manipulate people to give them more money so they could
41:16fight these.
41:19Once again, folks, it just goes to show these people don't care about our country and they
41:23certainly don't care about you and me.
41:25They care about power.
41:27The number is 888-589-8840.
41:31That's 888-589-8840.
41:33We've got a few open lines.
41:34You can comment on anything we're talking about or something that we haven't talked about,
41:38that you want to raise.
41:39Feel free.
41:40888-589-8840.
41:41for zero. Let's go back to the lines. We've got Benjamin in Alabama. Benjamin welcome.
41:49I wanted to say that I agree with most everything you say related to how the liberal side is pushing.
42:00But I do feel that capitalism is failing us also. I think that it is basically,
42:07I can't put it into words, but I think that's what the third of the youth see is the failures
42:14of capitalism that push them towards the idea that socialism might be better, even though
42:20we kind of know it is not.
42:22Benjamin, well, tell me quickly, in what way you think what you think they see that tells
42:31them that capitalism is failing us?
42:33Well, think about current inflation.
42:36about how the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poor.
42:40Whenever you're on that bottom side, you look up and you see no way forward.
42:44And I mean, capitalism does that.
42:47It allows people who are in really rich situations to use their wealth to further their wealth.
42:51That's a reality that we live in.
42:54Okay, Benjamin, thank you so much for the call.
42:57I would recommend to Benjamin and to all of you who may hear this that you read.
43:04Oh man, I wish I had the title of that book in front of me.
43:08But I'm sure if you look up Thomas Sol's books,
43:12I'm not sure whether it's his, he wrote a book on communism,
43:17but he will explain something very, very important
43:21that all of us need to know that most people don't.
43:25This notion that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer is not true.
43:30Because here's what actually happens in our capitalist system,
43:33I'm not, believe me, I'm not saying that capitalism is perfect.
43:37We're not in heaven, folks.
43:39You know, I think it was Winston Churchill
43:42who said at least it's been attributed to him.
43:44Capitalism is the worst system in the world,
43:47except for all the others.
43:49So it's not perfect, no.
43:51But here's what heat Thomas Sol points out
43:54from a statistical point of view that most people don't know.
43:57That top 20%, that top 10%, that top 5%,
44:00that people say the rich keep getting richer
44:02and the poor keep getting poorer, guess what?
44:04That's not a permanent group of people. It's changing all the time. There are people now,
44:11there are people at the very, very, very top echelon that have a lot of money and they're
44:16not likely to slip into poverty. But most of the people in that top echelon of income earners,
44:23they start out poor and they end up in that top 5, 10%. And then at some point, depending upon how
44:33much wealth they've amassed, they may end up slipping back, not necessarily into poverty,
44:38but back down into the lower percentiles when they get into retirement, when they start
44:42spending down whatever wealth they've had.
44:44In other words, he points out that, you know, when people say the rich, it's as if they're
44:49talking about a single identifiable fixed group.
44:53Well, they're not.
44:54I mean, if you will forgive the personal reference, look, I started out my early life at times eating
45:03mannae sandwiches, biscuits and syrup as my dinner because there wasn't any other food in the house.
45:12Now my wife and I eat whatever we want. And I'm not going to share our personal information,
45:20but I'll tell you what, we're not in the lowest percentiles of income anymore. In fact, there are
45:26many people who would say, well, you are in the wealthy percentile, but that's not where I started
45:32out. And guess what? There are people I remember a story not too long ago about a guy who was
45:39worth, oh I forget what he was worth, but you know, a million or more dollars. And because of the
45:46the the the internet burst in, you know, the the the burst in the bubble of the what happened
45:55with the internet when the internet kind of went bust. He lost almost all his money and
46:00and ended up working at a fast food restaurant.
46:04So that's the point.
46:06Capitalism is not perfect, no,
46:07but it is far more fluid and far more mobile
46:10than people want to admit,
46:13because they always talk about the rich and the poor,
46:16as if they're always the same group,
46:19and it's just not true.
46:21888-589-8840 is the number.
46:23Let me see, I've got some more calls here.
46:25Let me try to get to these.
46:26Let's go to Jeremy in Kansas.
46:30Jeremy, welcome.
46:31Thank you, Bishop.
46:34I appreciate you being on the radio and saying the things that you do.
46:38I just wanted to say that no government is good without good people running it.
46:44That's why we need to check our i-loader guide, know who we're voting for and get out and vote.
46:50Amen.
46:51Jeremy, you said everything that needs to be said about that subject.
46:56I just agree with you entirely.
47:01Let's go to Tom in Arkansas.
47:04Tom, welcome.
47:05Hey there, Bishop.
47:06Thank you.
47:07You're always glad when you sit in.
47:09I just wanted to comment on the collar before last because, you know, when I was a kid and
47:13when you were a kid, it was pretty easy for someone to open their own hardware store or
47:18you could walk into sun records and record something.
47:21You know, the capitalism is just not scaled in a way that I think a lot of people can even
47:28figure out how to get their foot in the door with it.
47:30You know, it's just, you know, it's a matter of a huge population and the fact that we don't
47:35pay attention to God anymore and you combine all that together.
47:38And I think people just look and they're overwhelmed plus they don't get a good education.
47:42You know, so yeah.
47:44Yeah.
47:45Yeah.
47:46Tom, thank you so much for the call, folks.
47:48We're getting close to being out of time.
47:50Look, you're right.
47:51There are obstacles there hurdles and yet people keep breaking through them, don't they?
47:58Let's try to get Marty in here before I have to go Marty. Welcome to the program. I think Marty's from Iowa welcome
48:05Bishop, thank you so much, you know, just one of the examples of us being in slaves would be the property tax
48:12And I love how president Trump talks about you don't own your house
48:17You're renting it from the government and not one American is opposed to taxes
48:23but when they become overwhelming and overburdened them,
48:28and we watch services drop and the price of our property going up,
48:35and it is. It's a sign that we have become so stupid
48:39that we allow this to happen, and then we see some of the
48:43crazy political things. I live in Iowa and they've turned our
48:47beautiful Iowa into a Chinese fan corporation where
48:52these fans that are supposed to make electricity and they cannot sustain themselves.
48:58And that's one of our property taxes, which is-
49:01We're out of time, Marty.
49:02Marty, we're out of time.
49:04Thank you so much for the call.
49:05It was Chief Justice John Marsh who said the power to tax is the power to destroy.
49:10True words were never spoken.
49:11That's going to do it for today.
49:12Great to be with you.
49:13I'll be back again tomorrow.
49:14In the meantime, you know what to do.
49:16Stand up, step up, speak up, and refuse to back up,
49:19because we cannot be defeated if we will not quit,
49:22because we are on God's side.
