5. 0:16Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
6. 0:19And the philosophies of this world.
7. 0:21God has called you and me to be his ambassador.
8. 0:24Even in this dark moment.
9. 0:27Let's not miss our moment.
10. 0:29And now the Hamilton Corner.
11. 0:33Good evening, everyone.
12. 0:36Welcome to the Hamilton Corner right here on American Family Radio.
13. 0:39I'm your host Abraham Hamilton, the third broadcasting live from downtown Richmond, Virginia, as we are here for the Home Educators Association of Virginia's 2026 convention.
14. 0:54We're right at the facility where the convention center is diagonally from where we are right
15. 1:01now, where the convention will take place.
16. 1:04There are several thousand families here from all over the state of Virginia, looking forward
17. 1:10to that.
18. 1:11My speaking responsibilities and ministry duties publicly at the convention will begin tomorrow,
19. 1:18we wanted to kick off today with a broadcast from this lovely, lovely, lovely event. At
20. 1:24this very moment, many of you, if not most of you are making your transition from your
21. 1:29part time jobs where you generate an income. Yes, you heard me right, your part time jobs
22. 1:35where you generate an income to your transitioning to your full time jobs where you cultivate an
23. 1:41outcome and as you do so I want to remind you to do so with intentionality.
24. 1:47I'm joined by the corner contingent here with me in the broadcast suite is produced extraordinary
25. 1:53often imitated never duplicated the real J. Mac back at home base man in the board for
26. 1:59us is the I would say the Virginian expat got out of here on the fly on the fastest thing
27. 2:06smoking. None other than my main man, my man 100 grand Mr. Bobby.
28. 2:11Roosau. And we are here to encourage families who have gathered for this
29. 2:19convention because of what I just said a few moments ago. Our full-time jobs is
30. 2:24cultivating outcomes and that responsibility starts in our homes. One of
31. 2:30the reasons why I love to participate in events like this in support the
32. 2:35organizations and to serve the families at events like this, because it is helping to
33. 2:41sharpen one's blade to accomplish that outcome cultivation duty. One of the things that happens,
34. 2:48or several of the things that happen at events like this is that you have a curriculum fair
35. 2:53or in a used curriculum fair, often what often happens is you have families as they matriculate
36. 2:59from one stage to the next, they kind of seek to pay it forward or pay it backwards,
37. 3:04you want to think about that and say, hey, I've used this. This has been a benefit to my family and I,
38. 3:10you know, one of those those tools similarly that my family has used is Israel Wayne's Catechism. You
39. 3:15know, we've told, I don't know how many families about that because that has been the tool that God
40. 3:20has equipped and has allowed our family to use to help to equip our children with. So we want to make
41. 3:26sure as many people as possible are aware of that. So you're able to get curriculum at massive,
42. 3:31of massive discounts.
43. 3:32One of the things people ask me about often
44. 3:34is how much it costs to disciple our children
45. 3:37from the home, including cultivating their minds,
46. 3:39or some would say, educating them at home.
47. 3:42And you'll find it is so much less expensive
48. 3:47than really both private school and public school.
49. 3:49The reason why I say public school is because how many
50. 3:53of you guys know, and I know this, that you have public school,
51. 3:55but then you have this fee, then you have that fee,
52. 3:58you have this fee, you have these supplies,
53. 3:59you gotta get this, by the time you add it all up,
54. 4:01you realize you realize you could have actually purchased the amount of materials
55. 4:05that you needed for your entire family. You know, as you know, we have six children
56. 4:09and we we invest in our six children for the amounts that really it often is spent
57. 4:15on one child per academic year regardless of what type of schooling so to speak is
58. 4:21chosen for the child. It's often much less expensive. One of the other things
59. 4:25that you have everything from vision casting all the way down to kind of homeschool
60. 4:30101. I live in this state where do I begin here since we're in Virginia there are lots of things that are tailored to
61. 4:36Virginians, but that is what you can look forward to at home school conferences across the state and in fact if you're listening to this show and
62. 4:42You're interested. I would encourage you to start by going to HSLDA's website
63. 4:47Which is a national organization the home school legal defense association which as many of you know
64. 4:51I'm on the board of directors for the home school legal defense association
65. 4:54but from HSLDA's website, you can get connected to your local state organization and find out if there are events like this in your local area.
66. 5:04I can tell you there are events like this in every state in our country and I participated in many of them and I have and I'm scheduled to participate in more this year.
67. 5:12But it is a great one-stop-shop type of resource to help get you started if you're completely unfamiliar.
68. 5:18Then on the opposite end, if you're the type of person where you've been in it for a while,
69. 5:22But just need some encouragement that these types of conferences are great sources of that type of encouragement as well.
70. 5:29So it has something for everybody regardless of the stage of life that you're in.
71. 5:33It'll be a great blessing to you.
72. 5:35Alright, to the Word of God we go.
73. 5:37Proverbs chapter 4, and this is actually going to relate to what we were just speaking about.
74. 5:42Proverbs chapter 4 verses 1 through 5, and this is what God's Word says.
75. 5:49word says, here, O sons, the instruction of a father, and give
76. 5:54attention that you may gain understanding. For I give you
77. 5:59sound teaching. Do not abandon my instruction. When I was a son
78. 6:04to my father, tender, and the only son in the sight of my mother,
79. 6:08then he taught me and said to me, let your heart hold fast my
80. 6:13words. Keep my commandments and live. Acquire wisdom. Acquire understanding. Do not turn
81. 6:22away from the words of my mouth. You know this scripture is profound in its
82. 6:29admonition and exhortations and it underscores the reality that fathers, we
83. 6:35fathers and many of you know if you don't know that I'm a father of my wife and I
84. 6:39to have young children in our home, we fathers are ultimately responsible for discipling our
85. 6:45children. This is not my opinion. This is what God's word commands. Ephesians 6-4, the scripture
86. 6:53I refer to often because it is one that the Lord gripped me with. It's one of the scriptures
87. 6:59that convicted me deeply, which says fathers do not exacerbate your children but rear them
88. 7:05and the nurture and admonition of the Lord and it is a command of God. It's a command of God. Now
89. 7:11on the on the immediate face of the text in Ephesians 6-4, it's evident and obvious that the command is
90. 7:17addressed to fathers. The command however is implicitly addressed to mothers as well because
91. 7:24in the familial equation where you solve for the variable x, fathers plus x equals children.
92. 7:33What do you think X is if you're solving for the variable?
93. 7:38Fathers plus mothers equals children. God knows full well that you can't have fathers and children
94. 7:43without mothers. So the command is to fathers in an ultimate sense, very similar to the ultimate
95. 7:51responsibility for the Garden of Eden was Adams. The house band, the man's responsibility, is not
96. 7:58not as if Eve bore no responsibility, but she was not ultimately responsible. You study
97. 8:05the scripture you'll see, Genesis 2, verse 7, Genesis 8, Genesis 2, verse 15 through 17.
98. 8:14It shows you that God created man outside of the Garden of Eden, infused him with the
99. 8:19breath of life, and then placed him in the garden, which was east from where he had created
100. 8:25man. You read the scripture, you'll find that. All right. And then the Lord tells us in verse 15,
101. 8:30as I mentioned in chapter two of the book of Genesis, why he did that. He placed man in the
102. 8:35garden that he'd created for a man to dress it and to keep it or to cultivate it and to protect it.
103. 8:42The man was ultimately responsible for all that went down in the garden, which is why when the
104. 8:47rebellion transpires, does God say Eve, where are you? No, the Lord says Adam, where are you?
105. 8:54because Adam was ultimately responsible. Similarly, in Ephesians 6-4 when the
106. 9:01Scripture says fathers do not exacerbate your children, rather rear them in a
107. 9:04nurture and admonition of the Lord. It's not excluding mothers from
108. 9:07participation. It's simply articulating that we fathers are ultimately
109. 9:11responsible. Now when you understand that and then you zoom out and examine or
110. 9:17or assess in terms of
111. 9:21ecclesiastical life,
112. 9:23ecclesial life, church life,
113. 9:25who historically in our country,
114. 9:30I would say better, recent historically, in recent history, who's been most involved in so-called church matters, church affairs,
115. 9:39how often do we see that as usually women?
116. 9:43Spiritual things often have
117. 9:46women's involvement,
118. 9:48And the men often check out and a part of the reason why I won't get it to hold a whole big deal on it
119. 9:53But much of what has become American churchy and it he has it to been the product has been feminized in many ways
120. 9:58You know now before anybody he says been feminized don't think that I'm saying masculinity is synonymous with some godless
121. 10:06Humanistic idea of machismo. No, what the scripture bears out is
122. 10:13That biblical masculinity includes traits that a godless culture can never understand God made men to be
123. 10:20men of his word, God made men to be men of his work, not humanistic selfless ambition,
124. 10:26his work, God made men to be men of his presence. So when you see that we fathers are ultimately
125. 10:34responsible for this, what the scripture is saying is that what I just said, we will be held
126. 10:40accountable ultimately for the quality with which the children that God has entrusted to our
127. 10:46stewardship and our care have been reared in his nurturing admonition. This is why, and I have,
128. 10:53I say this without fear of any successful contradiction.
129. 10:56This is why the enemy, the spirit of the age, the press of the culture works over time
130. 11:02to cause men to be unspiritual and to lack spiritual discernment.
131. 11:07And we see that territory often, yeah, that's the wife's job.
132. 11:11That's the wife's job.
133. 11:13I even challenge fathers oftentimes because sometimes I'll catch men saying,
134. 11:18yeah, my wife homeschools are children.
135. 11:19And I'm saying, whoa.
136. 11:21And I just often ask the question, is the biblical command to homeschool?
137. 11:24Or is it the disciple?
138. 11:28And when you examine that type of assertion made biblically, what you'll find is that
139. 11:33yo, clearly our wives have a vital vital role to play. There's lots that they're involved in. Some
140. 11:39of the hands-on technical aspects they're definitely involved in. But that'll mean you shouldn't be
141. 11:43involved at all. And guess who our brother? Guess who God is going to hold ultimately accountable
142. 11:51and responsible for what does or does not transpire in our home? You and me. So I just want to take
143. 11:58some time and I alluded to this. Early this week at I met Pastor Carl was made a post in
144. 12:04the live stream feed and he's talking about, man listen, time is out for men to be playing
145. 12:10the background. Lots of things are happening and we talk about, I talk about the feminization
146. 12:18of our society and the feminization of many things of that nature, which is true. But here's
147. 12:25a real deal, Holyfield, fellas, we have an obligation to step up, man. And with all the
148. 12:30things that are surrounding us, you want to talk about what's worth living for, what's
149. 12:36worth stepping out for, aren't our children worth stepping up for, aren't our children
150. 12:43worth us being engaged to provide them with a vision for life, not just existing, not just
151. 12:51breathing the death, that's what I call existing. There's a difference between people living
152. 12:56and existing, much, many of the people you encounter on a daily basis, man, they are
153. 13:03this inhaling and exhaling on their way to expiration.
154. 13:08I don't know if y'all can hear that,
155. 13:09it sound like the fire truck is on the move outside
156. 13:14of downtown Richmond.
157. 13:15What's on fire?
158. 13:16They're saying the microphone's on fire, Jeff.
159. 13:18Get the extinguish.
160. 13:19Heh heh heh.
161. 13:22I don't mean this as some type of, you know,
162. 13:25cause I know you hear the old adage a lot of times
163. 13:28in churches and mothers day, mothers are celebrating,
164. 13:30the fathers are pounded.
165. 13:31I'm not trying to just gratuitously pound men,
166. 13:36but by God's grace, man, and I'm praying even before
167. 13:38coming on the air that I pray that I'll overuse this program to summon the
168. 13:44brother to stand up. Brother you and me, we are responsible as thermometers on the
169. 13:52wall in our homes are what set the temperatures for the heat or coolness
170. 14:00levels in our homes. We set the temperature for life in our homes. We do.
171. 14:09And that temperature will be set regardless of whether you want to be the
172. 14:15who determines it to be said or not. And it will be said either by our intentional engagement to
173. 14:23set the temperature with direction or by negligence. There really is no middle ground.
174. 14:31The temperature will be set intentionally and affirmatively or it will be set by negligence
175. 14:37and passivity. We have to choose how the temperature is going to be set in our homes.
176. 14:45I challenge you and encourage you and urge you today to determine.
177. 14:51As Joshua said, ask for me in my house.
178. 14:54This temperature is going to be set to follow the Lord.
179. 14:57Okay, here's an assignment for you, if you will.
180. 15:03I want you to take some time and think about a getaway that gives you a chance to get together
181. 15:07with other people of faith, deepen your walk with God and make new friends,
182. 15:12all while enjoying the Creation Museum and the Arc Encounter in Kentucky.
183. 15:17I'm talking about joining AFA at the Arc, October 29th and 30th.
184. 15:22This is a great opportunity to break away from the grind of everyday life and draw closer
185. 15:27to God through special presentations from Patricia Inglor and Brian Osborne of Answers in Genesis.
186. 15:33It also includes entrance to the Creation Museum on Thursday and the Arc encounter on Friday.
187. 15:38Friday's dinner includes a panel discussion with Tony Vatagliano, Walker Wildman and Wesley
188. 15:43Wildman, Vice Presidents of American Family Association.
189. 15:47This is an event that can fill up quickly.
190. 15:49So hurry to AFA.net slash events to register
191. 15:53for AFA at the Arc 2026.
192. 15:56AFA.net slash events.
193. 15:59And we'll see you at the Arc.
194. 16:01Shiting light into the darkness,
195. 16:08this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
196. 16:12Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner,
197. 16:15Abraham Hamilton III here.
198. 16:18Yeah. Things keep happening. And before I get into let me just mention if you have not registered and you want to come to the H.E.A.V. Convention, you are welcome to do so the convention started today.
199. 16:30But you can still register some people come to exhibit. I mentioned the use curriculum fair. I mentioned the encouragement. One of the other things that's available here is an exhibit hall.
200. 16:40And at the exhibit hall, you get not used curriculum,
201. 16:43but opportunities get new curriculums,
202. 16:45but also get to see the various things
203. 16:48that are available to you
204. 16:49in offered by other homeschooling families in your communities.
205. 16:53Often you get connected to local organic farms.
206. 16:56Sometimes you get connected to various co-ops
207. 16:59in your portion of the state,
208. 17:00because Virginia is a pretty large state.
209. 17:01And so you have people who are here from all over the state.
210. 17:05You can find out what is going on in your neck of the woods.
211. 17:08As I mentioned, this is a great, great, great resource.
212. 17:12And so you don't want to miss being a part of it,
213. 17:14even if you're just curious and want to learn,
214. 17:16hey, what is available?
215. 17:17I'm not sure how my family and I are going to proceed,
216. 17:20but I'd like to know what's all available.
217. 17:22This is the best one-stop shop available.
218. 17:25And we'll do this again in Pennsylvania next week.
219. 17:29In Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, that'll
220. 17:31be the 11th through the 13th next week in June.
221. 17:35But this is available to you this week.
222. 17:38All right, now what I'm talking about,
223. 17:41that I was alluding to when I first started this segment,
224. 17:44and I tend to come across this information,
225. 17:47I think partially because I've gone down
226. 17:51these routes in the past,
227. 17:53which is why I think I still come across
228. 17:55a lot of this information,
229. 17:58but just yesterday, man, just yesterday,
230. 18:02you had two NIH researchers, one of them an NIH virologist,
231. 18:07who were arrested, two NIH staff members, one of them in NIH virologists.
232. 18:17And the main virologist's name is Vincent Munster, who runs a virus ecology, who runs
233. 18:29the virus ecology section at one of our nation's premier biohazard safety level four labs.
234. 18:36the top tier safety level labs, and Vincent Munster and his, what I want to call them,
235. 18:45confidant, accomplice. They were arrested at the Detroit, the Fort Wayne airport, let
236. 18:52me make sure I got the right airport, I don't want to give you wrong facts, but they defra-
237. 18:58Detroit Metropolitan Airport, I'm sorry, the Detroit Metropolitan Airport trying to enter
238. 19:05our country with 113 vials of biological material. Now this time they're entering our country.
239. 19:14They're trying to come in to come through the border protection having just traveled internationally
240. 19:21from the Congo in border patrol sees a yo what's that black box you got right there and they go
241. 19:29like my boy brother man on martin just chilling what's in that black box right there
242. 19:35Nuns, just diagnostic instruments.
243. 19:41Wait, you sure?
244. 19:42What's in that black box?
245. 19:43Nuns, we just got equipment in the box.
246. 19:49Where you got the equipment from?
247. 19:53Fifth flow.
248. 19:57Do you mind if we check the box?
249. 20:00What'd you need to check the box for?
250. 20:02I done told you what's in it.
251. 20:05Now we gotta check the box.
252. 20:06We aboard a protection.
253. 20:07And guess what they find in the box?
254. 20:09113 vials of biological material, including deactivated monkey pox, human DNA, and other
255. 20:25nasty soup. Listen to and watch this clip. It's clip three. Clip number three. Go.
256. 20:32This just into our newsroom. Two NIH researchers and foreign nationals are now charged in Detroit
257. 20:37with conspiring to smuggle the epochs virus into the U.S. and then lying to investigators
258. 20:42about it. Federal prosecutors say 53-year-old Vincent Munster, a 38-year-old Claude Quay,
259. 20:48got to Detroit Metro Airport January 25th after travel from Brauseville and the Republic
260. 20:54of Congo. In court paper show, they told Customs Agents a large case held testing equipment
261. 20:58only. But investigators say it contained 113 vials, some containing epochs, others containing
262. 21:05chickenpox, and two with human DNA samples. Both men face up to five years in prison for
263. 21:11The US Attorney's Office does not say why these men were trying to bring the viral pathogens into the US.
264. 21:17Now did y'all see that so funny to me?
265. 21:21But we live in such a crazy world.
266. 21:23So they don't want to say monkeypox anymore.
267. 21:26They're saying, empox.
268. 21:28Now it's fine to say chickenpox.
269. 21:30So the vials had chickenpox, virus in it, monkeypox, virus in it, human DNA.
270. 21:37DNA. And this led to a powerful thread on X by Dr. Robert Malone, who is an expert virologist
271. 21:46who's done all kinds of work on vaccines. Many of you will recall along with Dr. Christina
272. 21:51Parks. He was one I referred to in Dr. Peter McCullough in terms of providing wisdom and guidance
273. 21:56during the whole schmovit insanity that was happening. And Dr. Malone just left the CDC's
274. 22:03vaccine panel working under HHS and he's one of the main ones saying that there are some
275. 22:10people working within HHS that are trying to undergird, under mind, not undergird, but undermine
276. 22:17the whole mahaw moving to things of that nature. But I want you to listen to this what Robert
277. 22:21Malone posted and he posted this quote, federal prosecutors just charged an NIH virologist with
278. 22:27smuggling, biological materials into the United States, his name is Vincent Munster. He's not
279. 22:32a minor scientist. Vincent Munster runs the virus ecology section at one of the US government's
280. 22:38premier biological safety level four labs. This is bigger than a customs charge. I'm
281. 22:45going to pause for a second. You have lots of people that are trying to spin this as
282. 22:50if this is nothing more than a customs charge. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
283. 22:55This is not a mere customs charge.
284. 22:58Munster, this is back to Dr. Robert Malone's post.
285. 23:02Munster, quote, Munster and colleague Claude Quay,
286. 23:06returned from the Republic of Congo carrying a large case
287. 23:09that they told CBP contained diagnostic equipment.
288. 23:13Inside 113 vials and styrofoam coolers,
289. 23:1617 of which contained deactivated monkeypox,
290. 23:19one contained chickenpox and two contained human DNA.
291. 23:22both face up to five years in prison.
292. 23:26Why does Munster's name matter?
293. 23:29And I'm explaining this because I know many of us
294. 23:34in our busy lives, we don't have the time to dig down
295. 23:37into the details of every single thing that comes across,
296. 23:40our desks that comes across our fees
297. 23:43that we can become aware of.
298. 23:45And that's a part of the reason why you tune into this program
299. 23:47because we'll dig where you're not able to.
300. 23:51And you kind of try to put the cookies on the bottom shelf
301. 23:53so that we can be conversing the things that we need to be conversing in while not being
302. 23:57inundated and overwhelmed by the the the plenteous nature of the information that's available to
303. 24:02us. Now back to this. Why does Munster's name matter? Quote, why does Munster's name matter?
304. 24:08In April, 2024, Senator Ampar released documents showing Rocky Mountain Laboratories, which is
305. 24:14Vincent Munster's facility was listed as a participant in eco health alliances diffuse proposal. The
306. 24:23same proposal that DARPA rejected for posing unacceptable biosafety risks.
307. 24:32Diffused contemplated experiments on novel back coronaviruses, spiked protein manipulation,
308. 24:39and insertion of furin cleavage sites. DARPA said no, but NIAID kept funding the same research
309. 24:49ecosystem. EcoHealth, the Wuhan Institute of
310. 24:54Virology, the same scientific objectives.
311. 24:58Remember, Schmovit emerged in Wuhan.
312. 25:04Moving away from Dr. Malone's post, that's why I called it the
313. 25:08Kung flu. Back to Dr. Malone.
314. 25:13Quote, this is not a single bad actor.
315. 25:17It's a pattern. Congressional investigations
316. 25:21documented missing records without information, reporting violations, institutional obstruction,
317. 25:29and gain of function monkeypox experiments, nobody told the public about.
318. 25:38Every time officials, I'm sorry, every time officials said critics didn't understand the
319. 25:45science in quote, for now, I'm going to get back to it.
320. 25:48It's important to note this because whenever people like me would bring up questions, especially
321. 25:54following schmovid, say, wait a minute.
322. 25:55Now, how are we funding these gain of function research?
323. 25:59Funding this gain of function research.
324. 26:00And remember, what gain of function is when you have certain bacteria, certain pathogens
325. 26:05that are present in animals, gain of function research is research that is conducted on
326. 26:11those pathogens to amplify them to make them detrimental to human beings.
327. 26:17That is what gain of function means.
328. 26:18It's gaining the functional capacity to become threatening to humans.
329. 26:24All right.
330. 26:26Every time Dr. Maloney said every time officials and others would bring up
331. 26:32objection to these things, the we let the electron doctor Frouci
332. 26:36and company would say, Oh, you critics don't understand the science.
333. 26:41You don't understand.
334. 26:42You don't understand.
335. 26:43So that is a big deal that Vincent Munster has just been arrested for
336. 26:48bringing these things into our country. Back to Dr. Malone, quote, the trust problem, the public cannot
337. 26:58expect, no, say it better, the trust problem, the public cannot inspect biosafety level four labs.
338. 27:09Taxpayers don't sit on review committees. We, the taxpayers are asked to trust that the experts
339. 27:15follow the rules. After eco-health, after defuse, after covid, after the monkeypox gain a function
340. 27:24controversy, after Munster that trust is gone, the burden of proof has shifted. So what should
341. 27:32happen now? This is what Dr. Malone proposes. One, a permanent ban on taxpayer funded gain
342. 27:39a function research, domestic or overseas. Two, terminate overseas pathogen collection programs.
343. 27:46replace institutional self-policing with independent oversight for public disclosure
344. 27:53of every grant collaboration and enhancement experiment." I agree with
345. 28:00Dr. Malone's conclusions. I mean don't you think in the wake of the
346. 28:06Shmoven debacle? In the wake of 15 days is low to spread? In the way the wake of
347. 28:14of scarf lady saying, oh, there's nothing scientific
348. 28:17about 15 days, we just had to start something that we knew
349. 28:19that would get Trump to go along with it.
350. 28:22And then once we got him started, we just kept getting more
351. 28:24information that would cause them to expand it.
352. 28:26Even though they knew that what they were proposing wasn't
353. 28:30based on science.
354. 28:32Even though the We Little Leprechaun Dr. Fraucci initially
355. 28:35said, no, no, this one, this didn't come from the wet
356. 28:37market of Wuhan and then almost a days notice about face pivoted
357. 28:41and then began to malign anybody who suggested,
358. 28:44Yo, this is not a natural occurring phenomenon.
359. 28:47This came from a lab somewhere.
360. 28:51In the wake of, oh, that's a conspiracy theory too.
361. 28:53Well, the only workable theory is that it came
362. 28:55from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
363. 28:58When we knew at the time that the Chinese shut down travel
364. 29:02domestically inside of China from Wuhan
365. 29:04to everywhere inside China, they only allowed travel
366. 29:07outside of Wuhan, I'm sorry, only allowed travel
367. 29:10from Wuhan if you were going internationally
368. 29:15in primarily to the United States of America.
369. 29:16Ain't that something?
370. 29:21In the wake of, we knew masking and social distancing,
371. 29:26physical distancing wasn't scientific.
372. 29:28The UN told us it was just an exercise
373. 29:30to see how willingly the populace would comply.
374. 29:33Don't you think at a minimum,
375. 29:36we as the public should be made aware of every gain
376. 29:40a function grant that exists from the United States of America?
377. 29:43Oh, and don't leave out.
378. 29:44Of course, Dr. Fraucci saying,
379. 29:46denying that the NIH under his authority
380. 29:50and leadership was funding gain of function research overseas internationally, only to find
381. 29:54out, yeah, he was funding it.
382. 29:56And with all his denials, isn't it something that on the way out of the door, Mr. Ice-Green
383. 30:01man, Mr. Joseph Robinette, offers a pardon to Dr. Frouci, and that's something, what, why
384. 30:06do you need a pardon if you haven't done anything criminal?
385. 30:10A preemptive pardon, never charged with anything but you get a pardon?
386. 30:13I think at a minimum, public disclosure of every grant, collaboration, and gain of function
387. 30:19enhancement experiment should be made we should be made aware of it. I think we
388. 30:23should accompany that with a permanent ban on gain-of-function research. Now
389. 30:28nobody wants to say the choir part out loud but the reality is that there are
390. 30:32evil and malign actors in our nation that that prepare to use biological
391. 30:37warfare. That's that's an ugly reality. That's an ugly reality. One of the places
392. 30:46that has been known to have such laboratories in the Ukraine. Isn't that
393. 30:52interesting. Putin also has been known to dabble with a little bit of biological
394. 30:58experimentation, the Chinese likewise. And so you have people in our country and
395. 31:05they don't want to say it out loud, but you have people in our country that have
396. 31:08been doing some of the same things. But but isn't it? Wouldn't it would it not be
397. 31:15appropriate to bring this stuff out in light of day? And yes, I agree, terminate
398. 31:20the overseas pathogen collection program. This this is this is and I know this
399. 31:31might not be the hottest topic for a lot of people. But man, I cannot stop seeing all of
400. 31:35these engines is happening over and over and over again. And you barely hear anything about
401. 31:41it in the media, barely anything. When you have repeated Chinese agent after Chinese agent
402. 31:47getting arrested in our country for just casually handling vials or biological materials and
403. 31:54then all of a sudden they hop a plane and vamos and they, okay, turn the end up in China.
404. 32:02And this time we have a story, not too long ago, we talk about the stories of those biohazard
405. 32:09labs in California and Las Vegas.
406. 32:12Remember that?
407. 32:13That's a couple months ago.
408. 32:14And now this time you have a current NIH official, Vincent Munster, who is the virus ecology
409. 32:25section leader at a top American biohazard safety level 4 lab and he's
410. 32:33arrested for bringing deactivated monkeypox vials into our country. While lying to
411. 32:40border protection says, what's the thing you see in a plastic box?
412. 32:47We got diagnostic issues in the bottom.

422. 33:40back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
423. 33:44Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. We are already in the third segment, man.
424. 33:50Wow, this time is flying by. Time flies when you're having fun.
425. 33:55You know, Jeff couldn't recover from Bruh, man. Bruh, man is a parent.
426. 33:59I didn't know he was gonna make an appearance, Jeff. I would have warned you, man. I didn't know.
427. 34:03If you're not aware yet, many of you, some of you might recall,
428. 34:09but oh yeah, that did happen.
429. 34:11Former National Security Advisor John Bolton,
430. 34:15who served in President Trump's first administration from,
431. 34:20what was it, April or of 2018?
432. 34:25I'm sorry, I'm doing that wrong.
433. 34:26I'm saying it wrong.
434. 34:28From 2018 to 2019 is when he was the National Security Advisor
435. 34:33and he was indicted for mishandling classified documents.
436. 34:38And he also was originally indicted for transmitting classified information to foreign nations.
437. 34:47Well, John Bolton has now agreed to plead guilty.
438. 34:52Yes, you heard that right.
439. 34:54John Bolton has agreed to plead guilty to a felony to a felony.
440. 35:02Listen to and watch a clip about former Ambassador Bolton.
441. 35:08It's clip number four.
442. 35:09Clip four.
443. 35:10Go.
444. 35:11Former Trump administration national security advisor John Bolton has agreed to plead guilty
445. 35:17to a single count of retaining classified information.
446. 35:21The deal with the Justice Department could allow him to avoid prison time.
447. 35:25And the deal would resolve a criminal case filed in October that charged Bolton with 18 counts
448. 35:31of either retaining or sharing diary-like notes with family members.
449. 35:36Officials said the material contained classified information.
450. 35:40Bolton could also face a $2 million fine.
451. 35:44Yes, according to the report, John Bolton has agreed to pay a $2.25 million fine,
452. 35:52and his guilty plea, which he scheduled to appear in federal court on June 26th to enter this plea,
453. 36:02to one felony count now that narrows the
454. 36:06Charitable felony offenses from the previous 18 charges to just one singular
455. 36:11Felony count will make no mistake about it a guilty plea to this account to this one count would make John Bolton Bolton the former
456. 36:20US National Security Advisory would make him a felon it would make him a felon and
457. 36:26The singular count and it would be for mishandling
458. 36:29classified information, classified not necessarily documents, but classified materials and information.
459. 36:37You could face up to five years in prison, but considering that this would be a first
460. 36:42defense, it is expected, although you can't say for certain until it happens, but it's
461. 36:46expected that John Bolton will end up with some form of probation.
462. 36:50Now I was following this story and I'm reading and I'm going, okay, okay, until I get to this
463. 36:56part of the story.
464. 36:57At the end of the story, you find that a spokesperson close to John Bolton, who sought
465. 37:06to remain nameless.
466. 37:07Don't you love those nameless sources?
467. 37:10The source close to John Bolton says that the former national security advisor has agreed
468. 37:17to plead guilty in part to avoid a trial that could require additional classified information
469. 37:25to be disclosed in court.
470. 37:29This was very difficult, a very difficult decision for him.
471. 37:34Most importantly, he's doing what leaders do
472. 37:37and take your responsibility.
473. 37:41Oh, okay, okay.
474. 37:42All right, so you guys know that I was a prosecutor
475. 37:45for a decade, and I read this, I go, come on, man.
476. 37:50Now I know you have your spinsters and all this
477. 37:52kind of stuff, I'm like, come on, man.
478. 37:54First of all, nobody, it's not like a civil trial.
479. 37:58You know, in civil trials, you often have people that enter settlement agreements in lieu of
480. 38:09going to trial because they are a host of reasons, it would be more expensive to litigate
481. 38:13it yada yada yada.
482. 38:16But in the criminal context, you very rarely have people who agree to plead guilty, plead
483. 38:22guilty, and to become felons.
484. 38:27Especially in the context where if a person with no criminal history, they now agree to
485. 38:31become a felon. That rarely happens unless there's an evidentiary basis for it. Now, John
486. 38:42Bolton team will kind of will try to stress and say, well, of course he did not plead
487. 38:46guilty to the account that charged him with transmitting classified documents to foreign
488. 38:50countries. Uh huh. But does that mean that's not a part of the calculus for his plea deal?
489. 38:58And I love how the spokesman says, in part, John Bolton is pleading guilty because he doesn't
490. 39:02want to further reveal classified information in court. Would you say that? No, no, I don't
491. 39:09buy it. No, I don't buy it. Usually, usually, not always, not always, but usually when a
492. 39:18guilty plea is entered, usually it's because of some evidentiary reason. I'm not saying
493. 39:26always, but usually if John Bolton was charged inappropriately, charged wrongly, and there's
494. 39:35insufficient evidence to substantiate a charge against him. Do you believe a man who will likely
495. 39:41agree to pay a 2.5, sorry, $2.25 million fine would be incapable of lodging an appropriate
496. 39:50vigorous defense of himself against these wrong charges? Do you really believe that?
497. 39:58See, man, what I'm getting at, what I'm getting at with this is I don't think we understand just
498. 40:07how swampy the swamp is. Surely he and President Trump have a falling out, but
499. 40:21he was charged with transmitting classified documents to foreign countries.
500. 40:24So you got beef with the president, so you're gonna send stuff to foreign
501. 40:27countries, allegedly of course. And I just, it's one of those things, man, why
502. 40:35saying, man politics is so disgusting, and so disgusting. And now all of the people,
503. 40:40all of the people where all the people were saying, and of course June 26 is when
504. 40:44the police are supposed to be formally entered. So it's not until June 26, can we
505. 40:48say this with a bit of finality. But where are all the people who
506. 40:51would say, you see, these are just no pun intended trumped up
507. 40:55charges against john Bolton. They just made these up out of
508. 40:59thin air. There has no merit or substance to them whatsoever.
509. 41:05Really? I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure a man of
510. 41:11john Bolton stature has to wear with all to mount the best
511. 41:15defense available to him to protect himself against rogue
512. 41:18charges. I don't think he's unable to secure adequate representation. But it would seem
513. 41:32that upon the advice of learned counsel and after having reviewed the evidence, because
514. 41:37here's the thing. And I know in times past these things didn't work like this, but in
515. 41:43modern times, you know, from the very first day I stepped foot in the prosecutor's office,
516. 41:48There are two primary rules based on Supreme Court precedent, Brady versus Maryland and Louis
517. 41:54versus Giglio, that require the prosecution to tender to the defense, which means in each
518. 42:02one of my cases that I ever had, I had an obligation to give to the defense attorney in
519. 42:08each one of my cases any evidence that I had that was either, here are two big words, exculpatory
520. 42:15or mitigating the word exculpatory means any evidence that I had as an assistant district
521. 42:21attorney working as an agent of the charging office.
522. 42:27My office is charging the defendants with the crime.
523. 42:30Any evidence that I had that indicated that the defendant that was charged with the crime
524. 42:37did not do that crime.
525. 42:38I had an obligation to surrender that to turn that over to a defense attorney.
526. 42:43I would do this, especially when prosecuting in Louisiana,
527. 42:47I would do it as an open court.
528. 42:49I would file, it would call it my Brady disclosure.
529. 42:52That's the same thing in Texas.
530. 42:53I would file Brady disclosures.
531. 42:56The heading of the filing would be Brady disclosure.
532. 42:58And I was filing an open court so that the court knew
533. 43:00that I'd turn it over to the defense
534. 43:02and I would give a copy, I would personally give a copy
535. 43:05into the hand of the defense attorney.
536. 43:08In addition to exculpatory evidence,
537. 43:10I had an obligation to turn over any mitigating evidence.
538. 43:14Now mitigating evidence is no evidence
539. 43:17concerning the guilt or innocence
540. 43:18as it pertains to the charge crime,
541. 43:20but it would be evidence that would mitigate
542. 43:23the exposure, the defendant's exposure in sentencing.
543. 43:29So any evidence that I had that showed
544. 43:33that this is a mitigating circumstance
545. 43:34for the defendant in sentencing phase,
546. 43:36I had to turn that over.
547. 43:37All of that was a part I just found one thing
548. 43:39it's called the braided disclosure,
549. 43:40it had my braided and my giggle-y-o-disclosures.
550. 43:42In every case, every case,
551. 43:45I expect the same thing happened with John Bolton
552. 43:50and not only did I have to turn over Brady evidence,
553. 43:53but also would turn over the bases
554. 43:56of the charging instrument.
555. 43:57I would turn over the office report.
556. 43:59It would be no surprise,
557. 44:00is the defense would know who the witnesses
558. 44:01were expected to call?
559. 44:04You know, not with their personal contact information,
560. 44:06they would just know who they were.
561. 44:08You know, I would redact the files efficiently
562. 44:10without contact information, all that kind of stuff.
563. 44:12But I was legally obligated to do that
564. 44:14because I wanted to be above board
565. 44:15And both the offices I worked in had policies that wanted to be above board policies.
566. 44:20And what I anticipate, and this is some of the behind the scenes stuff that a lot of people
567. 44:23don't realize, there's no hiding the ball in criminal law.
568. 44:27He talks about most defense attorneys especially in large metropolitan area, metropolitan, metro
569. 44:31politics and areas that will tell you, there's no hiding the ball.
570. 44:35The defense knows exactly the case that they expect to be presented against them.
571. 44:40That information is necessary in order for the defendant to be able to truly assess whether
572. 44:44not any plea bargain offers are viable offers.
573. 44:49All right?
574. 44:50So I expect this one happened with John Bolton, that he got all of the evidence that was punitive
575. 45:00or indicated that he was guilty of the charge crimes, as well as any brady or giggly material,
576. 45:05any exculpatory mitigating evidence, and with the consult of learned council, probably quite
577. 45:10expensive council.
578. 45:12John Bolton said, you know what?
579. 45:16Isn't that all of this?
580. 45:18Now obviously I don't want to part of the conversations,
581. 45:19but very likely would happen, John Bolton,
582. 45:21looked at all the information and all the evidence
583. 45:24after his lawyers have evaluated everything
584. 45:26and they say, you know what?
585. 45:27I think the best thing to do in this scenario
586. 45:29is try to get the best deal for me possible.
587. 45:32Because if I go to trial on all 18 of those charges,
588. 45:34I might beat a couple of them, but I ain't gonna beat them all.
589. 45:38And if I don't beat them all, my exposure will be ABC or D.
590. 45:43But if we're able to work out some deal
591. 45:44where we can limit my exposure to say,
592. 45:46you know, something to wear the maximum prison time I could face is five years.
593. 45:51And that would allow me to maybe to pay a fine and to get the probation.
594. 45:55Y'all want to see if y'all can work that out for me.
595. 45:58The bench attorneys go to the DOJ attorneys and say, Hey, what do you think about this?
596. 46:06Again, I don't know for a fact, but I suspect something like that occurred in this
597. 46:09instance, which leads us to where you have the public announcement of June 26.
598. 46:15No more needs to discuss the potential of a trial because we will have a guilty plea
599. 46:24entered marking the former National Security Advisor from now and forever as a felon.
600. 46:31Since we're talking criminal law, did you see the information that came out of Minnesota?
601. 46:40You'll remember when the 39 protesters, and that's what I'm calling them,
602. 46:46because you can't protest on private property.
603. 46:49That would be the criminal violation of trespass.
604. 46:51And I'm saying that for a reason.
605. 46:52All right.
606. 46:54And when you commit the private property violation
607. 46:57of criminal trespass with the intent of some form
608. 47:01of political maneuvering, hmm, that adds a little bit more
609. 47:10to this flavor, does it not?
610. 47:12Yet, 39 protesters are, as we speak, facing federal charges, the St. Paul City Attorney,
611. 47:29Irene Cow, who's responsible for bringing state charges, has announced that there will
612. 47:35be no state charges filed against the 39 protesters, protesters, who interrupted a worship service
613. 47:42in a city's church in Minnesota.
614. 47:47Remember, remember when easy peasy lemon squeezy down,
615. 47:50let me show up with his camera crew?
616. 47:53And I'm sure that's how all protests happen, right?
617. 47:55Camera crew and a journalist in tow, right?
618. 47:58I'm sure that's how it happens.
619. 48:01You know, organic protests.
620. 48:02You know, Jeff, you know the kind that's not organized
621. 48:05and paid for by any particular social agitant source, you know?
622. 48:14Irene Calcid, quote, the decision not to prosecute
623. 48:17these protesters should not be interpreted as an endorsement of unlawful behavior or
624. 48:22public disorder. The right to peacefully protest is protected as is the right to exercise one's
625. 48:28religious beliefs. Balancing these equally important rights is paramount to our decision today. I'm
626. 48:33sorry, man, but you're not telling the truth. No, your decision not to prosecute through the state,
627. 48:41the state of Minnesota, these criminal trespassers is an endorsement of unlawful behavior. How was
628. 48:47what you read it. It is an endorsement of public disorder. And the right to peacefully protest
629. 48:55does not allow one to do so on private property. No, no, no, Irene Cow did exactly what she planned
630. 49:02to do, encourage unlawful behavior in public disorder. The views and opinions expressed in
