1. 0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
2. 0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
3. 0:06This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
4. 0:11It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
5. 0:15Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
6. 0:18And the philosophies of this world.
7. 0:20God has called you and me to be his ambassador.
8. 0:24Even in this dark moment.
9. 0:26Let's not miss our moment.
10. 0:28And now, the Hamilton Corner.
11. 0:33Good evening, everyone.
12. 0:35Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here in American Family Radio.
13. 0:38I'm your host, Abraham Hamilton, the third joined by the corner contingent, right across
14. 0:43from me, my man, 100 grand, Mr. Bobby, Rosa.
15. 0:50But a little tang going on outside, I'm tired.
16. 0:55The Wiffleball battles, shenanigans going on in the office, you know, and in the screening
17. 0:59We have produced extraordinary, although from what I heard, I thought he was a say,
18. 1:05hey, kid, Willie Mays for a second there.
19. 1:07Slide into second, but a second might have slid into him a little bit.
20. 1:11You know what I mean?
21. 1:12The real Jay Mac is in the screening room where we are ready to rock and roll with
22. 1:18today's edition of the program at this very moment.
23. 1:21Many of you, if not most of you, are making your way, your transition from your part-time
24. 1:25jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs where you cultivate an outcome.
25. 1:31And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality.
26. 1:37Understand in the primacy that God places on family in welcoming God's view to govern,
27. 1:42guard and to guide your view and your engagement.
28. 1:48The things swirling around us in our world work feverishly to capture our attention, to
29. 1:55to capture our focus, to capture our devotion,
30. 1:57and our commitment to get us to give primacy and import
31. 2:02to everything but our families.
32. 2:04Too often, our families are left languishing
33. 2:09to really receive just the remnants of a day that's spent.
34. 2:16But I want to encourage you to reverse that.
35. 2:19Which is why I described our income generating functions,
36. 2:22whether we are entrepreneurs, employers, employees,
37. 2:25Now, wherever we may be to understand that that is our part time gig, that is what we
38. 2:30do part time.
39. 2:31Yes, we all have our responsibilities and obligations, but we should not allow those things to encroach
40. 2:37upon the jurisdiction of our families.
41. 2:39If you're in the life stage where I am, where you have young children in your home, as they
42. 2:45grow, as they grow in stature, as they grow in maturity, one of the things that God is
43. 2:50reminding us of by witnessing that is that you only have a small window with them.
44. 2:55You only have a small window.
45. 2:57So let us be intentional and invest in our families and invest in our homes.
46. 3:02And there is no question as to what can transpire in our nation and in our societies if we will
47. 3:07welcome the Lord to transform us in our homes, which is why I remind you on a daily basis,
48. 3:13what goes on in your house, what is going on in your home.
49. 3:17It's more important what's going on in the White House.
50. 3:19We do not have the direct responsibility and ability to dictate matters in the White House,
51. 3:26but you have that direct responsibility and ability in your home.
52. 3:30It is shameful for us to know more about what's going on on Air Force One than we know what
53. 3:35might be on our teenagers' devices.
54. 3:39You know what I'm saying?
55. 3:41We got to reverse that, man.
56. 3:43We've got to reverse it.
57. 3:46In many ways, if you examine the way that government has expanded and gotten out of control, it
58. 3:52corresponds with contractions in the families.
59. 3:56In many ways, people, if you witness, for example, second-way feminism, you've ever been talking
60. 4:05about it before you go over them saying, women is just as good as men.
61. 4:09I don't need a man.
62. 4:10I'm a woman.
63. 4:11Well, now I am a man.
64. 4:12And if you look at it, a lot of people have forsaken husbands, so to speak, in exchange
65. 4:18for the government functioning in some of the roles that husbands offer.
66. 4:22And then we have this corresponding contraction of authentic biblical masculinity because our
67. 4:29society is overly feminized in so many ways.
68. 4:33And the major, the major undergirding problem with all of that is that we have a massive
69. 4:44epidemic in our nation of biblical illiteracy.
70. 4:48And the consequences of that are outsized.
71. 4:55You really can't wrap your arms around
72. 4:57just how broad reaching the consequences
73. 4:59of biblical illiteracy are.
74. 5:01It sets the stage for deception to be most effective.
75. 5:07But that is why we endeavor on this program
76. 5:09to begin every show by turning to God's holy word.
77. 5:12The way we navigate our day is not by setting God's word
78. 5:15on a mantle, on a coffee table, by opening his word.
79. 5:18And as we read his word, we welcome the God
80. 5:21of the scriptures to read us.
81. 5:25Today we're gonna begin in Deuteronomy chapter 34.
82. 5:28The chapter is 34, I'm sorry, 12 versus long.
83. 5:35I'm excited to be here.
84. 5:36We'll be broadcasting on the road this week and next week.
85. 5:41But so much is happening.
86. 5:42I'll talk a little bit about that in a second segment.
87. 5:45But in this chapter, the closing of the book of Deuteronomy,
88. 5:49it describes Moses' death.
89. 5:54And now, started verse one in chapter 34
90. 5:56of the book of Deuteronomy.
91. 5:57And this is what the Lord's word says.
92. 5:58Now, Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo
93. 6:04to the top of Piska, which is opposite Jericho.
94. 6:07And the Lord showed him all the land,
95. 6:09Gilead as far as Dan, and all of Naftali,
96. 6:12in the land of Iphraim and Manasseh,
97. 6:15and all the land of Judah as far as
98. 6:17the western sea, and then the gev, and the plain, and the valley of Jericho, to the city
99. 6:23of palm trees as far as Zor.
100. 6:25Then the Lord said to him, this is the land which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
101. 6:31saying, I will give it to your descendants.
102. 6:34I will let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there.
103. 6:40So Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the land of Moab according to the word
104. 6:44the Lord, and he buried him in the valley in the land of Moab, opposite Bethpeor. But
105. 6:50no man knows his burial place to this day. Although Moses was 120 years old when he died,
106. 6:56his eye was not dim, nor his vigor abated. So the sons of Israel wept for Moses, and the
107. 7:05plains of Moab, 30 days. Then the days of weeping and mourning for Moses came to an end.
108. 7:12Joshua the son of none was filled with the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid hands on him,
109. 7:17and the sons of Israel listened to him, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
110. 7:25Verse 10, since that time no prophet has arisen in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face.
111. 7:33For all the signs and wonders which the Lord had sent him to perform in the land of Egypt against
112. 7:37Pharaoh, all his servants and all his land, and for all the mighty power and for all the great terror,
113. 7:43which Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.
114. 7:48Now, one of the things, several things,
115. 7:53stand out from that text to me, several things.
116. 7:59But one of them, and I pray this is encouraging
117. 8:04for all of our seasoned things who are listening.
118. 8:07Now, the scripture notes,
119. 8:10first it seems that God is functioning
120. 8:12as the eulogizer for Moses here.
121. 8:16You know, God is the one doing so.
122. 8:18And then the scripture says that the Lord is the one who buried Moses.
123. 8:23And there's not a person who's been able to find Moses's burial site.
124. 8:29The scripture also notes that though Moses was 120 years old when he passed, his eyes were
125. 8:34not dimmed nor his vigor abated at that late stage of his life.
126. 8:40Clearly, that is the result of divine preservation.
127. 8:45is protecting him in many ways. But I just want to offer a notion that this is something
128. 8:52that we used to understand in our society, that people aging wasn't always synonymous
129. 8:58with having the diminution of faculties consistently. There's an over and, you know, and this is
130. 9:07touching my own family. I got things going on and at the appropriate time I'll talk a
131. 9:11little bit about about that, some transitions that have gone on.
132. 9:16And I'll just say it this way, I love having the opportunity to be on the air with you guys
133. 9:20here.
134. 9:22The times when I'm unavailable, rest assured it's not because I don't want to be here.
135. 9:30I won't go too far into it, but one of them caring for my own parents.
136. 9:35Things happen unexpectedly, but I'll leave that there for the moment.
137. 9:39But there's this proliferation of cognitive decline and diminished capacities.
138. 9:44And these are things that are overrunning.
139. 9:47And what we fail to realize is some instances, a lot of the cognitive issues that we're seeing,
140. 9:53a lot of them are tailored to having this horrible consumption of chemically modified things that
141. 10:00might be edible.
142. 10:01But I'm not sure we should describe everything as edible as if it's food, having sugars and
143. 10:06everything and brain dehydration and all these other kind of things.
144. 10:11I would just encourage a bit of examination as to how in our own nation we age historically
145. 10:17versus how aging is happening now.
146. 10:20Because there are things that are happening that are not the natural product of aging in
147. 10:28our nation.
148. 10:29And I'll just leave there.
149. 10:30I'm not trying to go full my how on anybody.
150. 10:34I'm just saying it's worth an examination and you see it on one end with our more seasoned
151. 10:40saints.
152. 10:41Would you see it on the other end with children, you know, prevalent obesity in children?
153. 10:46Eight-year-olds?
154. 10:47Nine-year-olds?
155. 10:48Like, what's going on there?
156. 10:54But the other thing, um, I want to mention, and the Lord was intentional about highlighting
157. 11:03the fact that though Moses has passed away, the time had come for Joshua to ascend.
158. 11:11And I've been just chewing on this in my own heart and what prompted me bringing this to
159. 11:16the air today is I was just reflecting on the lives of Godly men, Christian leaders throughout
160. 11:25our country.
161. 11:26Some of them I've known personally, some who I have not known personally, but I've gleaned
162. 11:31from their wisdom and their witness from a distance.
163. 11:35And I wonder if we recognize what God may be attempting
164. 11:40to show us through this, like a couple of people.
165. 11:42This one may not be as well known as some as others,
166. 11:44but Bob Woodson passed away a couple weeks ago at 89 years old.
167. 11:51Now, for those who are not aware, Bob Woodson
168. 11:55is the founder of the Woodson Center
169. 12:01and of the 1776 Unites initiative,
170. 12:05which was a repudiation of the New York Times's
171. 12:091619 Project.
172. 12:11A lot of the critical examination of the 1619 Project
173. 12:15came from Bob Woodson.
174. 12:17He was a Christian who had an Imago Day-based understanding
175. 12:27of civic engagement, which led him to say,
176. 12:30Listen, we don't need to try to address poverty
177. 12:34with government handouts.
178. 12:36We need to unleash the reality of God's design for mankind
179. 12:39and allow people to flourish.
180. 12:41And one of the things about Bob Woodson,
181. 12:45and this is a man who I did not know personally,
182. 12:47but I know lots of people who did know him personally.
183. 12:50And I gleaned from him from a bit of a distance,
184. 12:53but that he was a man of integrity,
185. 12:56who walked it like he talked it
186. 12:59and did far more behind the scenes
187. 13:01than people ever saw in terms of his public engagement.
188. 13:05He did children's books and cartoons
189. 13:07and he did amazing things and then he passed away.
190. 13:12I've talked a bit on this program about Dr. Vodie Bakim
191. 13:15who passed away in September at 56 years old,
192. 13:19which was just about two weeks after Charlie Kirk
193. 13:21was assassinated at 31 years old, September 2025.
194. 13:26Then Dr. James Dobson passed away in 2025 at 89 years old.
195. 13:33Pastor John MacArthur 2025 passed away.
196. 13:37Phil Robertson, the founder of Duck Dynasty
197. 13:39from my home state in Louisiana passed away
198. 13:42in May of 2025 at 79 years old.
199. 13:46Don Wildman, he passed away in 2023.
200. 13:50Dr. Walter Williams, who has been a guest on this program,
201. 13:54It was a bit further passed away in 2020.
202. 13:58The televangelist James Robeson passed away just a couple of days ago.
203. 14:02And I'm just, you're looking at this so many, many other people who have passed away.
204. 14:07And I'm wondering if we're recognizing what God may be attempting to show us because there
205. 14:11are lots of giants who have made tremendous contributions for the faith in our nation.
206. 14:24And I'm wondering if we recognize when Moses passed away God had a Joshua available.
207. 14:31Do we truly have a generation of Joshua's who are ready to step up?
208. 14:36Because I'm concerned, as I've been saying quite a bit lately, that the continued secularization
209. 14:42of our nation has set the stage where so many people are looking for political solutions
210. 14:48to spiritual problems.
211. 14:50I'm just gonna tell you that square peg is not going to satisfy the round hole.
212. 14:55A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
213. 15:05How tragic it is for believers that don't get around to reading the Bible.
214. 15:09In other words, they don't get around to spending time with Jesus, listening to his counsel,
215. 15:14his wisdom, his grace, allowing him to touch their lives with his word.
216. 15:19Hebrews chapter 4 verse 12, for the Word of God is living in active, sharper than any
217. 15:23two-edged sword piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow,
218. 15:30and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Then, in Ephesians 6, verse 17 to 18,
219. 15:36and take the hamlet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
220. 15:42praying always with all praise and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all
221. 15:47perseverance and supplication for all saints. A kingdom warrior is a disciple of Christ who
222. 15:53who skillfully puts the word of God,
223. 15:55which is the sword of the spirit to work every day.
224. 16:06Shining, light into the darkness,
225. 16:08this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
226. 16:13Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner,
227. 16:14Abraham Hamilton the third here.
228. 16:16Just to continue the thought that I was providing before
229. 16:25that I, you think about this and the list of names
230. 16:29that I provided, just that's not everybody.
231. 16:31These are just some of the people who have been impactful to me and who I either knew personally
232. 16:41or knew through people.
233. 16:44But looking at what's happening, I think in a lot of ways that there's too many in our
234. 16:58country who don't truly understand from a spiritual standpoint how we even arrived at
235. 17:10a second term with President Trump.
236. 17:12And I've explained this before on the radio
237. 17:17that when President Trump was elected the first time
238. 17:21as a president and I did not rejoice,
239. 17:28not because of anything personal having to do with President Trump,
240. 17:33but because I believe I understood what was happening,
241. 17:37my expression of she should never be president
242. 17:40developed because I knew from a policy standpoint what she or shouldn't be president would do
243. 17:49and how a lot of the things that she would do would not have much. It had been very, very hard to
244. 17:54come back from. And so I recognize it as a reprieve. So more than a rejoicing, it was an exhale.
245. 18:04I was invited to an event at the inauguration and I respectfully declined that
246. 18:09that invitation in 2017, because I said very plainly,
247. 18:16I just said I don't believe God has called me
248. 18:19to be a sycophant of a person,
249. 18:26but to remain in a position to be able
250. 18:28to call balls and strikes, because as prestigious
251. 18:33and as important and as significant as the US presidency is,
252. 18:38is, I mean, it absolutely is the most powerful position in the world, frankly.
253. 18:46Leaders need godly encouragement and that encouragement is not all glad-handing.
254. 18:54You know, it's not yes-manning.
255. 18:56It's, that encouragement is calling balls and strikes.
256. 18:59When you do well, encourage that.
257. 19:01When you don't do well to say, hey, this is bad, this is wrong, and this is why.
258. 19:05And so I didn't want to be kind of roped in into a position and I believe it was from
259. 19:13the Lord at that stage.
260. 19:14Now there are other people who, and to be clear, I was not invited into an official capacity
261. 19:20as an advisor of a spiritual advisor, nothing like that.
262. 19:22No, nothing like that.
263. 19:23It was just an invitation to like a party, like a celebration event.
264. 19:27That's all.
265. 19:31And then we had the shenanigans of 2020 and by God's grace he spared us from she should
266. 19:38never be present at the remix.
267. 19:39And I mean that when I say spared us, this is not personal.
268. 19:45I don't have a personal beef with Kacklingly Kamala, but frankly she would have been the
269. 19:51disaster for our country and would have exacerbated a lot of the horrors that were initiated under
270. 20:03Miss Dye Scream Man.
271. 20:04I mean, you got this stuff happening now and politics is so disgusting at times.
272. 20:10You have Jill Biden saying, now, oh, she was so afraid her husband suffered a stroke during
273. 20:14the debate.
274. 20:15Yet you were going around the country saying, but yet he's fit to be president.
275. 20:26But getting back to what I'm saying here now with President Trump's election, the second
276. 20:34term to his second term, I'm gravely concerned that too much of the church is kind of, you
277. 20:41fall in the sleep or remain asleep,
278. 20:47and not recognize that, yo, this has to be,
279. 20:52if we're gonna have the type of course correction
280. 20:54we need in our nation, this has to be set in a stage
281. 20:57for what will come next, because this is a limited time,
282. 21:00this is a limited time, and I'm not sure
283. 21:08we have a sufficient understanding of what's needed
284. 21:12to be pressed forward in this window of time,
285. 21:14this window of opportunity that we have,
286. 21:17on the policy front.
287. 21:22And one of the things, like for example,
288. 21:25no matter how you slice it,
289. 21:29and I know ultimately President Trump is his own man.
290. 21:32There's been lots of banter back and forth about,
291. 21:34what is there, are there negotiations,
292. 21:36are there agreements, are there negotiations,
293. 21:38are there agreements?
294. 21:39And I said long before, many of you guys remember,
295. 21:41how can you negotiate with people who use
296. 21:47Takia as a tactic?
297. 21:49Like, how can you do that?
298. 21:53And I am certainly not in favor of just bludgeoning people,
299. 21:59but you have to understand the ideology
300. 22:01of the people that you're dealing with.
301. 22:02Every day that the Iranian murderous zealots
302. 22:11are breathing, they view it as victory.
303. 22:14Do you understand that?
304. 22:16Am I making sense, Bobby?
305. 22:18They view every day that they're breathing,
306. 22:22and they are in their minds,
307. 22:23staring down the great Satan, they view it as a modicum of victory. Now, I know none of this makes
308. 22:29sense to us and our understanding from a Western perspective, but you have to understand their
309. 22:34ideology. So when you understand that, that every day that they are persisting and they exist and
310. 22:43they're able to kind of embroil the US with they view as the great Satan in a quagmire,
311. 22:48because the quagmire for us is not military.
312. 22:52They know that we know, that they know that we know.
313. 22:55We could blow them away immediately.
314. 22:57So then from their perspective, they could just blow us away.
315. 23:00Why don't they?
316. 23:02See, they view the fact that the U.S. has not blown them away completely
317. 23:07as favor from their demonic deity.
318. 23:11Do you understand what I'm saying?
319. 23:14So this is some free advice.
320. 23:18I know that there are people in the White House who listen.
321. 23:22So I hope you're listening now.
322. 23:26Whatever you want to accomplish, the time is over in my estimation to rely on negotiating
323. 23:32continually because what they are going to do is going to try to rope a dope you.
324. 23:37They are wicked but they're not stupid.
325. 23:42They understand the political landscape in the United States of America.
326. 23:44They understand that President Trump is facing midterm elections with not him personally but
327. 23:50the party that supports him is facing midterm elections.
328. 23:53And they are of the mind that if they can just hold out, understand what I'm saying, if they
329. 23:57can hold out through the midterm elections and they would anticipate a changing of the
330. 24:04majorities in our Congress because these people understand how our politics works,
331. 24:12they are going to try to continue to rope a dope the United States of America to get
332. 24:16through the midterm elections in hopes that the midterms will turn in a way that will have
333. 24:22President Trump further embroiled in domestic quagmire.
334. 24:25Guys, I'm telling you that this is how they think so they're going to continue to say they're
335. 24:32going to do the whole keep up with negotiations.
336. 24:34Oh, yes, we're negotiating.
337. 24:36Oh, no, we're not.
338. 24:37Oh, yes, we're negotiating.
339. 24:38Oh, no, we're not.
340. 24:39Oh, we might we have a framework for a deal.
341. 24:43Oh, we we no longer have a framework for a deal all the while they also know President Trump
342. 24:47said that we were going to be there a couple of weeks and how the continuation of our presence
343. 24:53there also bolsters the political difficulty.
344. 24:57So the free advice is this, whatever you believe is what should be accomplished there for the
345. 25:08benefit of the United States of America and our objectives, you must do it regardless of
346. 25:15what they're saying.
347. 25:20You have to do it.
348. 25:21The only thing that these murderous zealous Shiites understand is exercises of force.
349. 25:38That's it because to continue to try to, you cannot use diplomacy with people who don't
350. 25:45have regard for diplomacy.
351. 25:46Do you do, do you understand?
352. 25:50They have no regard for diplomacy.
353. 25:57Merle's making a good point.
354. 25:59She says, I think Trump knows their song and dance.
355. 26:00He just not saying what he's doing.
356. 26:02That's perfectly fine.
357. 26:04That's perfectly fine.
358. 26:05But here's the problem with that though, domestically.
359. 26:08That's the problem.
360. 26:09Like, I'm not saying you even need to say what you're doing.
361. 26:13I'm saying there has to be some level of communication to the United States of American
362. 26:18citizens here because the longer it continues, the more you can anticipate a winnowing of support.
363. 26:30That's just a reality.
364. 26:31Now, if you've made that calculus and you've concluded that, well, that is a risk you're
365. 26:35willing to shoulder.
366. 26:38Okay.
367. 26:40Okay.
368. 26:42My suggestion will be simply whatever you got whatever whatever it is
369. 26:48That you identify
370. 26:50Then must be done
371. 26:51Then we have to we have to do it. I also will say you know and and
372. 27:06I hope people realize and maybe many of you already realize this but the
373. 27:16Term I ran is really an interpolation of Aryan into farcey
374. 27:23because the nation is mentioned
375. 27:26Throughout the scripture as Persia and as the descendants of of elum
376. 27:29He starts the scripture. You'll find that God has a plan unsurprisingly
377. 27:36for elum
378. 27:37for Persia
379. 27:39but it ain't
380. 27:42dealing with these murderous clerics and as a distinction between
381. 27:48clearly the zealous
382. 27:50murderous Islamic regime and and and the and the Persian people of course
383. 27:55But we've witnessed instances over the years of how the Persian people are tired of the mullahs
384. 28:03But the free advice I want to offer is meant whatever it is that is the United States of
385. 28:12America's objectives there, we have to just do it.
386. 28:17You cannot rely on negotiating with people who have no regard for diplomacy.
387. 28:21You can.
388. 28:22Which is why you have this consistent back and forth and back and forth and back and forth
389. 28:26and back and forth.
390. 28:30Alright.
391. 28:31I believe that's where it is.
392. 28:33I thought I didn't even mention this.
393. 28:35This is the week.
394. 28:36This week will be in Richmond, Virginia.
395. 28:39So be there will broadcast the show live from Richmond on Thursday and Friday.
396. 28:47This week will be at the HEAV convention.
397. 28:51It is a very, very large convention at the convention center downtown there in Richmond,
398. 28:55Virginia.
399. 28:56Looking forward to having an amazing, amazing time there.
400. 28:59Encouraging God's people.
401. 29:01Then the very next week will be in Pennsylvania.
402. 29:04Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, broadcasting from there as well.
403. 29:07If you're in the area willing to come to the area, I'd love to see you at one or both, if
404. 29:13you're interested.
405. 29:14I will be providing different presentations at both places and I'm looking forward to that.
406. 29:22After we finish those events, I'll give you some more information about events coming up
407. 29:27later this year because we'll still be on the road that's remainder of this year.
408. 29:33There's lots of work that is to be done.
409. 29:36I pray that it is done to the glory of God.
410. 29:40All right.
411. 29:41I'm going to go here next.
412. 29:43So today, all in some places around the country, do I have that?
413. 29:51Some of the states around the country, six or seven states, we have primary elections going
414. 29:57on right now in the country.
415. 30:00And one of those places, one of those states is the state of California.
416. 30:05Now, I know what people say and I know what people think, but just on Sunday, two days
417. 30:13before primary election day, local law enforcement officials found ballot box ballot boxes with
418. 30:23burned out mail in ballots.
419. 30:26You heard me right, burned out mail in ballots just two days before primary election day.
420. 30:33Listen to and watch clip number three, clip three, go.
421. 30:36Vote by mail ballots were found burned inside a ballot box in Los Angeles just two days before
422. 30:43the California primaries.
423. 30:45Election officials discovered the damaged ballots and they filed a report with the police department.
424. 30:50They say a separate voting center was also vandalized.
425. 30:54Investigators are looking into both incidents and are working to identify any voters who have
426. 30:57been affected.
427. 30:58What now?
428. 31:00What do you know?
429. 31:03Two days before primary election day.
430. 31:06What do you, what do you find?
431. 31:07And this isn't Los Angeles.
432. 31:11Burned out, million ballots.
433. 31:17That wouldn't be any more of that, you know,
434. 31:18not widespread voting chicanery.
435. 31:21Would it be not widespread?
436. 31:25I'm sure, I'm sure that, oh yeah, by the way,
437. 31:27that was also the local voting facility that was vandalized.
438. 31:32But I'm sure that's not widespread.
439. 31:34Do you think that's widespread?
440. 31:35Bobby, dude.
441. 31:39Two days.
442. 31:40It did get some coincidence.
443. 31:41That's two days before the primary elections.
444. 31:49And they find a ballot box with burned up mail-in ballots.
445. 31:57I wonder if any of those burned up mail-in ballots had,
446. 32:00you know, I don't know, a box checked for Spencer Pratt
447. 32:04to be the next mayor of Los Angeles.
448. 32:06I wonder.
449. 32:09Oh, and the mail-in ballot thing.
450. 32:13I guess the Save America Act really, we don't really.
451. 32:16need that because it's not widespread you see and we may have some fraud some irregularities
452. 32:28but but it's not widespread or what shouldn't we want to determine how wide it spreads and it's
453. 32:36mighty funny to me that though it's not widespread it seems to kind of happen all the time primary
454. 32:48What can we learn from California?
455. 32:50I wonder.
456. 32:51What can we learn?
457. 32:53The loss of a child through abortion, miscarriage, or stillbirth affects the emotional health of
458. 33:06families.
459. 33:07Feelings of anger, sadness, and regret can be overwhelming.
460. 33:11There is hope and healing in the aftermath of a reproductive loss.
461. 33:15Call the International Helpline at 866-482-LIFE to talk with someone who has been where you
462. 33:22has been where you are and healed to help others.
463. 33:25Your call is confidential.

465. 33:30Hi, I'm Tim Moore, senior evangelist on Christ in Prophecy.
466. 33:34With all the uncertainty in the world today, it's good to know that God's promises never
467. 33:39change.
468. 33:40On Christ in Prophecy, we'll examine the signs of the times and consider what's really happening
469. 33:44in the world today through the lens of God's prophetic Word.
470. 33:48To hear more biblical hope for the future, join me for Christ in Prophecy, Sundays at 11
471. 33:54a.m. Central right here on American Family Radio, and find out what's really going on
472. 33:59in the world.
473. 34:01Deal with Iran.
474. 34:02This is David Wheaton, host of the Christian World View.
475. 34:06President Trump's attempt to make a lasting deal with Iran to abandon their nuclear weapons
476. 34:10program is next to impossible because their core motivation is the destruction of Israel
477. 34:15and the West.
478. 34:17This motivation is based on their false, Shia Muslim religion that believes the 12th imam
479. 34:22or madi, a Messiah-like figure, will return through apocalyptic means such as more war.
480. 34:29This is a time for Christians to pray and trust Psalm 103.
481. 34:33The Lord has established his throne in the heavens and his sovereignty rules overall.
482. 34:39God ordains the present and the future, and that's the best thing.
483. 34:43We're in most recent program with author and radio host Steve Dase at theChristianWorldView.org
484. 34:48and then join us this weekend for another topic that will sharpen your world view.
485. 34:53Listen to the Christian World View with David Wheaton, Saturday mornings at 8 central on American
486. 34:58Family Radio.
487. 34:59The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Common Terrors are available at afr.net back
488. 35:10to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
489. 35:15Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner.
490. 35:18Do you expect to get any answers from the burned out balance in Los Angeles?
491. 35:25It just, and again, this is one of those laughing to keep on crime moments where, you know, I get
492. 35:33raked over the colds by people who say, oh, look at their Abraham again, talking about this election fraud.
493. 35:39I'm like, what would you call it? What do you call it when you can anticipate like clockwork, things like,
494. 35:44I don't know, two days before the primary burned out balance.
495. 35:46And I know it's not in the entirety of the country, but once again, schemes, fraudulent,
496. 35:58irregularities do not have to be widespread to be effective.
497. 36:07To be effective, they don't have to be widespread.
498. 36:09That's why the whole election fraud is not widespread.
499. 36:13It really is irrelevant to the conversation.
500. 36:16But if the question should not solely be isn't widespread, the question should be, well,
501. 36:21Huh, to what end?
502. 36:25To what end?
503. 36:30Since we're in California, you might as well stay there a little longer.
504. 36:35This is something that's interesting to me.
505. 36:40Some of you may remember or maybe aware of, some of you may not be aware of this, but in
506. 36:462020 with the combination of the schmovit responses and the status in regressive states
507. 36:56primarily, but really all across the country following the Minnesota riots related to George
508. 37:01Floyd. There were many universities around the country who dispatched with requiring standardized
509. 37:09test scores as a part of their application criteria. Many schools all around the country,
510. 37:21jettison that requirement
511. 37:23uh... one of them that that's on the top of my mind is m i t
512. 37:26uh... who actually reinced it
513. 37:28shortly after put it back in place and always still need to stand out as test
514. 37:31scores
515. 37:32uh...
516. 37:33but an explosive report
517. 37:36has now
518. 37:39published
519. 37:40that includes over nine hundred
520. 37:43members of the university of california systems faculty
521. 37:48uh... university california have their you know collegiate system
522. 37:52uh... you calberkeley u c san diego you see a lot you know goes on and on on
523. 37:58over nine hundred faculty
524. 38:01have published an explosive
525. 38:03uh... letter
526. 38:05and and the letter follows us as study that was conducted
527. 38:10by uc california san diego from twenty twenty to twenty twenty five
528. 38:14with university of california san diego found
529. 38:18that there was a 30-fold increase in the number of students
530. 38:22who had math skills that were below the high school levels
531. 38:27that were necessary in order to study
532. 38:29in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
533. 38:36What they found, and I'll just give you a little bit of it
534. 38:41that I'm gonna cut to a clip,
535. 38:44is that for the time period, since 2020 through 2025,
536. 38:48UC California San Diego, University of California San Diego, found that 42% of students who admitted
537. 39:02into the math program were unable to do middle school math.
538. 39:09And this is specifically students who had taken calculus or pre-calculus in high school.
539. 39:1644% had taken a statistics class.
540. 39:23But according to the University of San Diego,
541. 39:25UCal San Diego report that they were,
542. 39:28they now are teaching remedial math classes.
543. 39:31And for consecutive years, 20% to 30% of UC Berkeley's
544. 39:36first semester calculus students who
545. 39:40had participated in mathematical diagnostic testing
546. 39:45displayed severe preparation deficits.
547. 39:51What the study showed is that from 2020 to 2025,
548. 39:55that the percentage of students who are enrolling
549. 39:58for math disciplines, majors, minors, and math courses,
550. 40:02that they required a significant portion,
551. 40:06required remedial math training.
552. 40:10In the quantity of students that needed remedial math
553. 40:13increased 30 fold specifically in the five years since they've removed the standardized
554. 40:22testing requirement for college admission. Listen to and watch a brief clip from California
555. 40:28on this exact point. It's clip number four, clip four, go. The admissions they pick up really smart
556. 40:34kids, but they are unprepared for college. And it's my personal tragedy. That's the sentiment
557. 40:42Then from UCLA mathematics professor Dr. Oleg Glizer, one of nearly 800 UC professors signing
558. 40:47an open letter calling on the Board of Regents to bring back standardized testing for students
559. 40:52applying to science, technology, engineering, and math programs.
560. 40:56Those test requirements, the SAT and ACT, were eliminated by the Board of Regents in 2020 over
561. 41:02concerns about equity and bias.
562. 41:04The point is, you have to place people who want to learn and can learn in the situation
563. 41:11where I can give them what they need to learn.
564. 41:14The faculty letter points to a striking UC San Diego report, finding the number of incoming
565. 41:18students with math skills below high school level increased nearly 30 fold in just five
566. 41:23years.
567. 41:2470% of those students tested below middle school level.
568. 41:29So in light of this, this the letter from the 900 plus faculty in California, they're saying
569. 41:35we need to re-institute the SAT or ACT requirement just on the math side.
570. 41:42We need to go back to requiring an ACT, mask scores on an ACT on an SAT as we are admitting
571. 41:50these students because it's impacting everybody.
572. 41:53You have students who are coming to the colleges who are unprepared.
573. 42:00And so there's a widening gap just in these five years, guys, from 2020 to 2025.
574. 42:10There's a widening gap between the students who are prepared and those who are not prepared
575. 42:16for these classes. Now here's the thing and it's, and you know how it goes and it,
576. 42:25there is a reality that there are students who are brilliant, who are just not good test takers.
577. 42:33Then you also have a reality that you have some people who are good test takers, who are not
578. 42:36necessarily good students. But the entire premise of the discarding of the standardized testing
579. 42:44was based on the perception that these tests are biased racially.
580. 42:52All right?
581. 42:53But what's interesting is that there's a comparison of the status between the status of how many
582. 43:07students, including minority students, are admitted into schools who perform well upon being admitted
583. 43:13into school in the pre and the prior regime where the standardized tests were required
584. 43:18and in the regime with the data with the last five years from 2020 to 2025.
585. 43:24And it shows, and this is a part of the report.
586. 43:29It says quote of the students for whom the SAT score was decisive in guaranteeing admission,
587. 43:35because what happens, that the schools reported that there were instances where you had students
588. 43:41who had low GPAs, but they had high test scores, specifically in mathematics.
589. 43:49And these were minority students who had high test scores and mathematics, including black
590. 43:55students, Hispanic students, Asian students, that had higher admission and performance abilities
591. 44:08that were reflected by the test scores.
592. 44:10So getting back to the report, it says quote up the students for whom the SAT score was decisive
593. 44:14in guaranteeing them admission to the University of California system that you had thousands
594. 44:23of minorities who are admitted because of the test scores.
595. 44:27Now how often do you have that as a part of the conversation?
596. 44:31You don't really often have that as a part of the conversation because, and this is what
597. 44:34Thomas Sol would describe as when you have a narrative that rivals what is true.
598. 44:44The narrative did not allow for the discourse to include how many students who specifically
599. 44:51anywhere minorities were admitted into the universities because of their standardized
600. 44:56test scores.
601. 44:57You were not allowed to have that conversation because the focus was solely placed on the narrative
602. 45:03of the perpetual grievance industrial complex.
603. 45:07So now we have schools like MIT and the University of California faculty members cited MIT as
604. 45:13an example.
605. 45:14They say, no, it was a bad idea for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to no longer look at
606. 45:21standardized test scores in the math area to help them in assessing who should be
607. 45:26admitted
608. 45:27is certainly should not be exclusively despondative as it who is who is not
609. 45:31admitted
610. 45:31but you immediately conclude
611. 45:33that the test in and of itself the tests
612. 45:36in and of themselves are inherently of such
613. 45:39a a a bias component
614. 45:42that we jettison it across the board
615. 45:44well we're now learning
616. 45:46in this interesting that this is coming out of california guys that's why that's
617. 45:49that's why i'm pointing this out
618. 45:50You might expect to see something like this come from like Texas or Florida,
619. 45:55but did you expect to see this coming from California where you have over 900 faculty that says,
620. 45:59you know what? About those standardized tests.
621. 46:02As it concerns science, technology, engineering, and mathematics,
622. 46:09it turns out that those tests actually helped us a bit.
623. 46:14It helped us to identify students who are more likely than not,
624. 46:21who are closer towards being prepared
625. 46:24to build from a high school level foundation of mathematics to grow into the college disciplines.
626. 46:31But not having that
627. 46:36test being included
628. 46:38has resulted in us having to adjust our curricular offerings to where we're spending far more time on remedial
629. 46:46investments than we are on building what we seek and to build for
630. 46:49collegiate disciplinary mastery.
631. 46:58It, it, it, it, it, it agrees me, man.
632. 47:01It, it agrees me that this happens because what, what ends up occurring and this is, this
633. 47:05is the consistent evidence or the consistent result of Marxist intervention because when
634. 47:14it seeks to make everybody equal, they didn't tell you equal in what direction.
635. 47:18Communism makes, makes the majority populous equally poor.
636. 47:23You, you have equality in poverty.
637. 47:28not equally increasing quality of life, increasing things. And it just, when we don't employ the
638. 47:41Lord's Word, man, we are the ones who lose out. Just because people are pushing some kind of
639. 47:46new, fangled idea or policy, it doesn't make it good. It doesn't make it good. We have to examine
640. 47:53everything in light of the white, hot scrutiny of God's holy Word with the Spirit of God leading
641. 48:01in that query. Because you have situations like this, and as this has happened, it's been
642. 48:11five years. What's been the consequences of that? How many students have had their collegiate
643. 48:18life delayed by this? Where the time they should have been able to be building toward
644. 48:22whatever career or entrepreneur pursuit they were building towards, and now have to go and
645. 48:25do remedial courses? You know, how many seats in the schools at acceptance and admissions
646. 48:37that could have gone to more qualified students,
647. 48:39end up not going to more qualified students.
648. 48:42You know, it is infuriating to me when people assert
649. 48:53that ethnicity determines your capacity to function.
650. 48:58Like the University of Washington years ago,
651. 49:00they said that, well, you know, we're no longer requiring
652. 49:04grammatical correctness in the English department
653. 49:06because, you know, articulation of the English language
654. 49:10proper articulation of the English language, you know what, as racist.
655. 49:14I'm like, that's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard in my life.
656. 49:22Do you think you're helping these young people to grow to a success?
657. 49:26I'm saying, you know what, when you turn in your papers, you don't have to punctuation,
658. 49:32ah, who cares?
659. 49:34Spelling, ah, you know, grammar, ah, yeah.
660. 49:39Is that putting the students on a footing for success?
661. 49:43Or is that put in them closer to the position where they have to be dependent upon someone
662. 49:49else?
663. 49:55Oh man, Lord help us to understand the times that we're living in.
664. 50:02And while I'm saying all of that, I'm not saying that to cause you to be downtrodden
665. 50:05in the least bit, because we must never forget that God is ordained us for such a time as
666. 50:10this.
667. 50:12He has determined the boundaries of our habitation and the times in which we would live.
668. 50:18So he has planted us here before this time.
669. 50:21Let's be about our father's business.
670. 50:24Darkness is not an affirmative force.
671. 50:27It merely reoccupies the space that is vacated by the light.
672. 50:31Let's be the hands of the feet of Jesus
673. 50:33and light up the darkness.
