  1. 0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
  2. 0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
  3. 0:07This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
  4. 0:11It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
  5. 0:15Delivering 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. 0:29and now the Hamilton Corner.
  11. 0:33Good evening everyone, welcome to the Hamilton Corner,
  12. 0:36Abraham Hamilton III here.
  13. 0:39I'm the host of the program joined by the Corner contingent.
  14. 0:43Right across from me my man, 100 grand, Mr. Bobby,
  15. 0:46rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
  16. 0:49...because I saw it when you came in, you had the kango on it.
  17. 0:52Now the kango is gone.
  18. 0:54I said wait a minute, there, there, there, there it is,
  19. 0:57there, there, there it is.
  20. 0:59There it is, there it is.
  21. 1:02Can't go slim, you understand me.
  22. 1:04And in the screening where we have
  23. 1:05producing extraordinaire often imitated
  24. 1:07but never duplicated the real J. Mac.
  25. 1:11It's Mr. Jeff McIntosh and he's joined by Richie Rich.
  26. 1:15Never try to find him in the ditch.
  27. 1:19If you try to rat, he might call you snitch.
  28. 1:22Y'all see y'all wrong with see where your minds went,
  29. 1:24where'd your minds go?
  30. 1:26Where'd your minds go?
  31. 1:28You gotta split in your seams and your pants,
  32. 1:30He might give you a stitch.
  33. 1:33You need to toast something on your truck.
  34. 1:34He might lend you his hitch.
  35. 1:36I could do this all day, folks.
  36. 1:38I could do it all day.
  37. 1:41Ritchy Ritch is in the building, y'all.
  38. 1:42We're ready to rock and roll with today's edition
  39. 1:44of the program.
  40. 1:45At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you,
  41. 1:48are making your transition from your part-time jobs
  42. 1:50where you generate an income to your full-time job,
  43. 1:55where you cultivate an outcome.
  44. 1:56And as you do so, I want to remind you
  45. 1:59to do so with intentionality, understanding the primacy
  46. 2:02God places on family and welcoming his view to govern, to guide, and to guard your view
  47. 2:10and engage from that perspective. You will never regret going the Lord's way. You'll never regret
  48. 2:20it. You never regret it. However, rejecting the Lord's way often is accompanied by massive amounts
  49. 2:29of regret. One of the purposes we seek to accomplish through this program is to convey
  50. 2:36the Lord's heart in such a fashion where it could minimize the amount of regret that we endure
  51. 2:43and enable us to enjoy what the scripture calls or describes as the peaceable fruit of righteousness,
  52. 2:51the peaceable fruit of righteousness, and then do life from our eternal perspective, from our
  53. 2:58heavenly abode from heaven down with the great glorious hope being what drives our engagement
  54. 3:07in the here of now, refusing to sever that connection. One of the major reasons why people
  55. 3:14who describe themselves as Marxists and humanists or atheists, one of the reasons why they
  56. 3:21so feverishly function away they do is because they do not have an eternal hope. They're
  57. 3:29greatest expectation is to try to turn this world into a humanistic utopia.
  58. 3:36And those of you who have a biblical worldview, you'll see the folly in that immediately because
  59. 3:40you're going to have fallen people in a fallen world who are attempting to remedy fallenness.
  60. 3:50With nothing transcendent as we were discussing yesterday, that hubris that's accompanied
  61. 3:58with that pride is often blinding hubris.
  62. 4:02they can't see the folly. They can't see the folly of, you know, communism having tried over
  63. 4:07and over and over again and leading to nothing but death, poverty and destruction. But yet,
  64. 4:12hubris says, but you haven't tried communism my way. Try my brand of communism, you see.
  65. 4:22And then everything will work out guys. That is, that is a dangerous hubris. But by God's
  66. 4:31grace as we delve into his word and allow his word to form us.
  67. 4:36You know, often say, I don't merely read the Scriptures.
  68. 4:39I welcome the God of the Scriptures to read me through his text so that I may be continually
  69. 4:44transformed and I grow from dokes out to dokes are from glory to glory.
  70. 4:49And I pray that is the same for each and every one of you.
  71. 4:54One of the features of engaging in that, the Lord says that he makes wise the simple.
  72. 5:00He takes us who are simple and makes us wise.
  73. 5:04It's very similar to when the apostles John and Peter were in the Sanhedrin, acquitting
  74. 5:12themselves expertly that led the Sanhedrin members to say, where did these guys study?
  75. 5:19And I learned something from my wife and I'll tell you what it was when the Sanhedrin members
  76. 5:26realized, oh no, they haven't studied anywhere, but these men have been with Jesus.
  77. 5:31When the Scriptures describe them as ignorant and unlearned men, my wife's Spanish Bible
  78. 5:36describes them as unlettered.
  79. 5:41It's the Lord who takes the unlettered and makes them sound more astute than the most
  80. 5:45de-greed.
  81. 5:47This is the God we serve because when you've been with Jesus, that makes all the difference.
  82. 5:51To the Word of God we go Hebrews chapter 5.
  83. 5:55Hebrews chapter 5.
  84. 5:56This is a portion of scripture that we will continue to revisit because it highlights a
  85. 6:02feature, highlights a condition that can be a repetitious phenomenon in the professing body
  86. 6:09of Christ if we are not intentional to identify it and to adjust away from what is there.
  87. 6:16The Word of God includes things we are to obey, that we are to imitate and things we are
  88. 6:20to avoid.
  89. 6:22This is a portion of scripture that the Lord has included to allow his people to say,
  90. 6:25I don't want to be like that.
  91. 6:26Mm, not like that.
  92. 6:28Hebrews chapter five, verses 11, no,
  93. 6:34verses 12 through 14, Hebrews chapter five.
  94. 6:39This is an epistle that is promulgated to persuade
  95. 6:43that he and he abreate people to recognize
  96. 6:46that you are no longer waiting for a mashyak.
  97. 6:50For yeshua, how mashyak, he has come,
  98. 6:54and he is Jesus, yeshua.
  99. 6:58This is what the text says, for though by this time you ought to be teachers,
  100. 7:04you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God.
  101. 7:10And you have come to need milk and not solid food for everyone who partakes only of milk
  102. 7:19is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant.
  103. 7:24but solid food is for the mature,
  104. 7:27who because of practice, because of practice,
  105. 7:32have their senses trained to discern good and evil.
  106. 7:38One of the major things the scripture is telling us here
  107. 7:42is that discernment requires exercise.
  108. 7:47Discernment requires practice.
  109. 7:49Practice is used here, not in the sense of, you know,
  110. 7:53like address rehearsal, waiting for the big show.
  111. 7:55It's not using the sense of, you know,
  112. 7:57we're gonna do practice and then the game days another day.
  113. 8:00No, practice is employed here.
  114. 8:01The way that an attorney practices law.
  115. 8:04The way that a doctor practices medicine.
  116. 8:07The term practice is employed here
  117. 8:09to communicate that there is a ready exercise
  118. 8:13of this disposition that is intrinsic
  119. 8:16to the practitioner's position.
  120. 8:20You see, it's a lawyer who practices law.
  121. 8:23You can even go to law school, finish law school,
  122. 8:25but until you pass the bar exam,
  123. 8:27you are not admitted to the practice of law.
  124. 8:32Discernment requires practice.
  125. 8:35This is the antithesis of the world that would say,
  126. 8:38well, doesn't your Bible say,
  127. 8:39judge not?
  128. 8:40You're not supposed to judge, no, no, no, no,
  129. 8:42no, the exact opposite is true.
  130. 8:44The Lord God of heaven and earth requires me to judge.
  131. 8:49The distinction between the ignorant,
  132. 8:52attempted bludgeoner with the Bible who would say judge not and a disciple
  133. 8:57understands that what Jesus is teaching is that we as his followers his disciples
  134. 9:02we have no authority nor well-athal to condemn anyone. We are not the judge or
  135. 9:07the jury that sentences and places anyone in eternal damnation. We do
  136. 9:14however have an obligation to judge. We do have have however an
  137. 9:19and obligation to exercise discernment.
  138. 9:25The discernment muscle requires exercise.
  139. 9:29I'm stressing this in such a way
  140. 9:31because I want you to recognize
  141. 9:32the straight up demonic stratagem
  142. 9:35to deprive the body of Christ from the exercise,
  143. 9:38the discernment by trying to neutralize us
  144. 9:41with a misapplication and a decontextualized reference
  145. 9:45to our scripture.
  146. 9:50How you gonna tell me just not family as the Bible says,
  147. 9:52you don't even believe the Bible.
  148. 9:54You can't use my text to tell me what I was supposed to do.
  149. 9:57You don't even believe the Bible.
  150. 10:01No, I have an obligation to exercise discernment
  151. 10:03and that exercise of discernment starts first with me.
  152. 10:08But that discernment exercise is not limited to me.
  153. 10:17But solid food is for the mature.
  154. 10:21What is one of the indications of maturity here?
  155. 10:25Who, because of practice?
  156. 10:28One of the markers of maturity in our faith,
  157. 10:35the Hebrew writer is explaining
  158. 10:37is the consistent repetitious and routine exercise
  159. 10:42of discernment.
  160. 10:44This is evil.
  161. 10:46This is good.
  162. 10:48That is right.
  163. 10:49That is wrong.
  164. 10:51This is the way to go.
  165. 10:52That is not the way to go.
  166. 10:56Now what is our metric for doing so?
  167. 11:00Unlike the Romans 1, professing to be wise became fools world, our metric is right here.
  168. 11:11Oh my grandmother knows she's right, it's right here, it's right here, it's right here.
  169. 11:15This is our metric right here, right here.
  170. 11:20This is it.
  171. 11:21I don't have to form an opinion.
  172. 11:23What I have to do is examine the text in the God of the text forms me.
  173. 11:33I have now the express privilege to align myself with what God has revealed.
  174. 11:41One of the indications of maturity is that, you know, you talk about getting into him looking
  175. 11:45at Chuck, you all see Chuck, you know, Chuck has rhythm muscles, you know, you get them
  176. 11:51jokers on layaway, you know, you got to return them for an expiration date.
  177. 11:55It's like milk, there's sour after a while.
  178. 11:58Now I'm playing Chuck is very, very fit.
  179. 12:01Chuck, Chuck has had a routine of exercise for quite some time, decades, because you know,
  180. 12:06he's old too.
  181. 12:07They're like, don't tell my secrets.
  182. 12:11If you look at him, you wouldn't think he was old though.
  183. 12:13He does not look as seasoned as he is.
  184. 12:18Check is like, they've always made bring them.
  185. 12:20You walked in, I didn't tell you to come in here.
  186. 12:23You walked in.
  187. 12:24But Chuck has tangible evidence of a consistency over time.
  188. 12:30We were some rumors in Arizona,
  189. 12:32the guy walked up to you at the lunch table.
  190. 12:33Oh man, look at all these veins popping out everywhere.
  191. 12:36You didn't just get those yesterday.
  192. 12:37You think I remember that.
  193. 12:38I remember that.
  194. 12:40He didn't look at me and went,
  195. 12:42See, Chuck has been alone in the gym.
  196. 12:49But he's gotten them with consistent usage over time.
  197. 12:53For him now, it's not like a, for Chuck, it's not like a strange thing.
  198. 12:59The gym is a part of his daily routine.
  199. 13:02This is what discernment should be for the believer.
  200. 13:05This is a part of our everyday living.
  201. 13:06This is not some strange thing, some new fangled phenomenon.
  202. 13:09This is the byproduct of being in Christ.
  203. 13:12Exercising discernment is what we do.
  204. 13:14for our own well-being and secondarily for our commitment to be and do what God has called us to.
  205. 13:21An indication of maturity is exercising discernment with regularity and normalcy.
  206. 13:31But solace for the mature who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.
  207. 13:43I've referred to it before. I'm going to refer to it again, Charles Spurgeon's description
  208. 13:47of discernment is not exclusively distinguishing right from wrong, but distinguishing right from
  209. 13:53almost right, because the most effective deceptions will always include a twist on a modicum of truth.
  210. 14:05You cannot have a society of people who say we're loving people, but their love looks nothing like Jesus.
  211. 14:11Nothing like Jesus. They reject the God of the Bible, but yet want to to graph to themselves
  212. 14:20certain terms and words and create their own unilateral self-induced standards.
  213. 14:29And concerning Chuck's rin of muscles, he got him two for one sale, certain big box stores.
  214. 14:40But I saw the receipt, he got a return on before the expiration date.
  215. 14:46Guys, discernment requires exercise.
  216. 14:49The regular exercise of discernment is an indication of spiritual maturity.
  217. 14:54A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
  218. 15:03Psalm 92, beginning at verse 1.
  219. 15:07It is good to get thanks to the Lord,
  220. 15:09to sing praises to the Most High.
  221. 15:12It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning,
  222. 15:15your faithfulness in the evening,
  223. 15:18accompanied by a tin-stringed instrument,
  224. 15:20a harp and the melody of a liar.
  225. 15:23You thrill me, Lord, with all you have done for me,
  226. 15:26I sing for joy because of what you have done.
  227. 15:30O Lord, what great works you do, and how deep are your thoughts?
  228. 15:35Only a simpleton would not know, and only a fool would not understand this.
  229. 15:40Though the wicked sprout like weeds and evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
  230. 15:46But you O Lord will be exalted forever.
  231. 15:48Your enemy's Lord will surely perish.
  232. 15:51All evildoers will be scattered.
  233. 15:54But you have made me as strong as a wild ox.
  234. 15:58Shining light into the darkness.
  235. 16:07This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
  236. 16:11Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton.
  237. 16:14The third here want to remind you that August 7th through the 9th,
  238. 16:19that will be a Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
  239. 16:21We will be at Darbonne Church of Christ in Farmerville, Louisiana.
  240. 16:26Looking forward to being there, man.
  241. 16:28We've been there several times in the past, looking forward to returning
  242. 16:31to North Louisiana to be there.
  243. 16:33be there if you're in the area or willing to come to the area is cool. I saw some folks
  244. 16:38at the culture group of conference who would say, oh, a, be coming back to Farmerville. I
  245. 16:41said, yeah, they said, well, we'll be there. I said, oh, I'm looking forward to that. So
  246. 16:46if you're in the area or willing to come to the area, you are welcome to come to those events.
  247. 16:52If you've been in the past, you are welcome to bring people with you. There is no charge
  248. 16:57or anything for it. We're just going to have a time in the Lord together for those three
  249. 17:03All right, speaking of discernment, remember yesterday, I told you guys, well, we discussed
  250. 17:09this horrible, horrible story out of Canada where you have their surrogacy laws and the
  251. 17:20case where you had this homosexual couple who rented a woman's body to use in vitro fertilization
  252. 17:31to have a baby and then the homosexual couple end up suing the woman who bore the child two
  253. 17:38years later after they had the two homosexual men instructed the woman to kill the baby
  254. 17:46because of a potential cleft palate and cleft lip and a minor heart issue.
  255. 17:51It ultimately ended up being no problem.
  256. 17:53The baby boy was born healthy, healthy in 2024 and two years later the lawsuits all
  257. 18:00unfold.
  258. 18:01And I told you guys this is a story that came from Canada, but you know a lot of those things that happened there ended up happening here and
  259. 18:09frankly the surrogacy rent a womb phenomenon is
  260. 18:14Happening here in our country
  261. 18:17it's happening here and
  262. 18:21This what I'm about to share now this just unfolded while I was on the air obviously I wasn't scouring social media while I'm on the air
  263. 18:27Which is why I didn't see it till after I got off and as soon as I got off the air say see man
  264. 18:30And this is what I'm talking about.
  265. 18:32This is what I'm talking about.
  266. 18:34This is why I'm saying,
  267. 18:36maturity and indication of maturity
  268. 18:38is the exercise of discernment.
  269. 18:40I've told you guys, long,
  270. 18:43many, many, many, many, many times
  271. 18:45that you have to plant your feet
  272. 18:47on the truth of God's Word
  273. 18:48because political machinations
  274. 18:51and organizations that will come and go.
  275. 18:53And as the spirit of the age continues to drift
  276. 18:56with the Hegelian dialectical process,
  277. 18:59re-aired that show again recently because it's happening. It's happening right now to where
  278. 19:06the positions that the Republican Party is holding are the positions the Democrat Party used to hold.
  279. 19:15You see what I'm saying? And many of you have recognized it, even lamented it,
  280. 19:20understand, understand your, yours and mine. I don't mean this as if this is an exclusive
  281. 19:27phenomenon for those people out there, it includes me, that whatever can be shaken, we'll be shaken,
  282. 19:32and our allegiances will be tested. As for me and my house, Joshua 2415, we will serve the Lord.
  283. 19:39My commitment is to Christ above political gang banging, partisanship. Even if I agree with some
  284. 19:48people in most instances, it doesn't mean I agree with them across the board. And the one thing
  285. 19:52that has become consistently true and is demonstrated over and over and over again,
  286. 19:57The Democrat Party is insane as a party.
  287. 20:00And so is the Republican Party in many degrees.
  288. 20:03It's less insane than the Democrat Party,
  289. 20:08but the Republican Party is not synonymous with being Christian.
  290. 20:12I mean, that's just the truth.
  291. 20:15It's just the truth.
  292. 20:17And we have to be very careful that we don't fall into a mindset
  293. 20:22that because the Republican Party is not as insane
  294. 20:25as the Democrat Party.
  295. 20:27And, you know, it's all been said many times.
  296. 20:30It's not the issue of right versus left anymore, it's the issue of good versus evil.
  297. 20:37It's the issue of truth.
  298. 20:39Truth with a capital T over narrative as Thomas soul would put it.
  299. 20:52I'm not going to go back and have a question.
  300. 20:53I'm not going to go back and read to yesterday's show, but the homosexual men tried to sue the
  301. 21:00surrogate mom because there's a question in the chat about it because she didn't terminate
  302. 21:05the pregnancy when they tried to exercise the cause of their surrogacy contract that
  303. 21:11gave them the authority to dictate to the mom whether or not she could care the baby
  304. 21:14to full term.
  305. 21:15So she cared the baby to full term and delivered the baby.
  306. 21:19And her initial decision to do so was against their will, which they ultimately agreed to
  307. 21:23do so.
  308. 21:24But they're suing in Canada alleging emotional trauma and for pain and suffering.
  309. 21:29I'm not saying the claim is legitimate claim or anything like that, but it shows just how
  310. 21:33insane things get when we reject God's way. Now I said that these insane things are happening
  311. 21:39in Canada and these same things will be tried here in our country. Well, this is one of the things
  312. 21:44that's become a public trial of allegiances. Is your allegiance going to be to someone you
  313. 21:52consider to be a friend? Is your allegiance to someone you consider to be a political ally?
  314. 21:57Or is your allegiance going to be to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and the truth?
  315. 22:03that is articulated in this word and confirmed in his creation where he
  316. 22:09releases his fall fall. Well, while we were on the air yesterday,
  317. 22:16Guy Benson, right, who's a homosexual man. And he's also a Fox News
  318. 22:23pundit, political pundit. He's on TV from time to time. He writes from
  319. 22:28time to time. And he made a post yesterday, made it public,
  320. 22:35celebrating the arrival of what he called his quote baby girl in quote. Now
  321. 22:42Guy Benson purports to be married to a man. So the very same thing we were talking
  322. 22:47about yesterday in Canada, Guy Benson and his man friend, whatever you want to call
  323. 22:52him, did the same thing here in the United States of America and they are
  324. 22:58celebrating it publicly. And the same thing happened with old boy from California. I
  325. 23:04I forgot his name.
  326. 23:05You know, Bob, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
  327. 23:08He's a homosexual commentator,
  328. 23:11before he'd be conservative.
  329. 23:12He used to be on the blaze.
  330. 23:18I'm gonna get his name during the break.
  331. 23:20Let's Bob, he could pull it up for me.
  332. 23:24He was talking about, well, he and his quote unquote,
  333. 23:27partner, having a child and people like me
  334. 23:29and others are saying, listen,
  335. 23:31understand what you're all saying?
  336. 23:33I celebrate God bringing new life into the world.
  337. 23:38But when you intentionally deprive a child of a father or a mother, that is not something I can celebrate.
  338. 23:43That's not something I can celebrate.
  339. 23:47That's that's not an occasion to rejoice.
  340. 23:52So Megan Basham, Dave Rubin, that's his name.
  341. 23:56I could not remember his name.
  342. 23:57Dave Rubin, that's his name.
  343. 23:59So Guy Benson has this thing, sharing, you know, he and his, his man, friend, his partner, whatever, you know,
  344. 24:07Welcome to baby girl into the world that they've rented a woman's body in
  345. 24:14order for this baby girl to come into the world. I don't know everything you know
  346. 24:21I'm not a biologist but I know baby girls need their moms you know my wife and I we
  347. 24:30have four sons and two daughters I can tell you the innumerable occurrences when
  348. 24:37things transpired in our homes. And my oldest is a teenager, a teenage daughter. How many
  349. 24:44times there's been circumstances that have arisen where my girls needed their mom. I love my daughters
  350. 24:52and my daughters love me. I will lay my life down for my daughters. There are certain things that
  351. 24:59my baby girls need that they need from mom. And to have this man to loudly proclaim, you know, because
  352. 25:08because technology innovations and such, you know, and weaves as a society advanced beyond
  353. 25:14the days of backwards bigotry, you know.
  354. 25:17Well he can say out loud with his whole chest, yeah this baby girl is coming to the world
  355. 25:21and we don't think she needs a mama.
  356. 25:23We cool with her not having a mama.
  357. 25:25So Megan Basham who is a Christian, she just provided a keynote address at my friend and
  358. 25:32brother Dr. Cal Byzner's conference in Memphis not too long ago with the Cornwall Alliance.
  359. 25:38And she responded to Guy Benson's announcement with this quote, this is on social media while
  360. 25:43we were on the area today.
  361. 25:44She said quote, Benson is an incisive pundit, but there's nothing conservative about deliberately
  362. 25:50creating motherless children.
  363. 25:51I pray Benson and those like him on the right would consider what they are telling the world
  364. 25:56about how unnecessary they believe mothers or if we're talking about two women fathers
  365. 26:02are to the needs of children because that is what they're declaring when they treat these
  366. 26:08children through, I'm sorry, when they, this is what they're
  367. 26:14declaring when they create these children through the surrogacy
  368. 26:17process. Then mothers and fathers serve no specific purpose.
  369. 26:22In quote, make bashing was exactly right. She's exactly
  370. 26:25right. But then in response to Megan Bashham's post, there's a
  371. 26:31response from it. If you're watching this, so it's on your
  372. 26:34screen now that came from Lisa Kennedy Montgomery. That's a
  373. 26:38full government name. I'm gonna, I'm on a call to Lisa Montgomery
  374. 26:42Lisa Kennedy Montgomery, that's what I'm gonna call it to.
  375. 26:46But she goes by the one named Kennedy.
  376. 26:50She's a host on the Fox News channel,
  377. 26:53and she replies to Megan Basham with a crude joke,
  378. 26:58which I will not repeat on the air, the crudeness,
  379. 27:00and I blurted out on your screens if you're watching the show.
  380. 27:04But she responded to Megan Basham by saying,
  381. 27:05quote, bless your heart, Megan.
  382. 27:08While you're at it, go replace the batteries in your,
  383. 27:13And I'm not going to say what she says because that's so, so this is what I'm talking about
  384. 27:20guys discernment.
  385. 27:25So because she's cool with it, Kennedy and I did a little dig in and realize, oh, Kennedy
  386. 27:29was the officiant at Guy Benson's purported wedding to a man.
  387. 27:41Kennedy doesn't attempt to engage the argument that Megan Basham is offering.
  388. 27:45She responds with condescension and a lewd joke indicating a lack, lack, lack of sexual
  389. 28:03engagement.
  390. 28:04I'll just leave it there.
  391. 28:05All right.
  392. 28:08But this is on the so-called right.
  393. 28:11You see, who are you, Megan, bashing to express your opinion and offer an argument in favor of
  394. 28:20God's view of the family?
  395. 28:22We have a better idea, a better way.
  396. 28:26And this is why I'm saying this is where discernment comes in.
  397. 28:34If you have a Bible, believe a Bible, you're not coming up with your position on this because
  398. 28:39God bent and made a post.
  399. 28:40You already know where you stand.
  400. 28:43But what I want you to see is that if you're going to stand on God's word, you will face
  401. 28:48opposition from all across the political spectrum.
  402. 28:53And Kennedy's low rent response really is a combination of all societies moved on, all
  403. 29:01morality all, you're a backwoods,
  404. 29:03roob, you this, you must be
  405. 29:06unfulfilled as a woman in order
  406. 29:07to have these opinions all, but
  407. 29:09we're not engaged in the actual
  408. 29:10argument that make mess from
  409. 29:11our offer. I thought ad hominem
  410. 29:14attacks was the trade of
  411. 29:18regressives. Oh, it is. Remember, I
  412. 29:20told you regressive is a bipartisan
  413. 29:23institution. So, lewdness,
  414. 29:27crudeness, degradation, and
  415. 29:29condescension is a feature of
  416. 29:33regressive ism, which is a
  417. 29:34bipartisan institution. Yes,
  418. 29:39Today we were talking about what was happening in Canada.
  419. 29:41Today we're talking about what's happening right here in our own country.
  420. 29:52It's grievous that this is where we are, but make no mistake about it.
  421. 30:00This is where we are because for too long, too long, we haven't had enough people willing.
  422. 30:08We've always had something.
  423. 30:09God has always maintained a remnant, but I want you to notice how over time as the Hegelian
  424. 30:16dialectical process has unfolded to where the Republican Party, the GOP as a party, I'm
  425. 30:22not talking about individual candidates.
  426. 30:23They are individual people and candidates and office holders that I respect and I appreciate,
  427. 30:28but the overarching thrust and direction of the party has continued in one direction.
  428. 30:40This is a part of the reason why, you know, President Trump and his first term was resisted
  429. 30:45so hard.
  430. 30:50But in some ways, it's because of an unwillingness to continue to go along with the trend and
  431. 31:03the shifting of the overton window with those things continuously, you have those who are
  432. 31:09attempting to adhere to truth that are marginalized.
  433. 31:14Do you remember the Tea Party movement and how the Tea Party movement was snuffed out?
  434. 31:19The Tea Party movement was not defeated by the Democrat Party, the establishment Republican
  435. 31:23party snuffed out the Tea Party. I know this is not common knowledge because the
  436. 31:31establishmentarians don't want it to be common knowledge, but you have people like
  437. 31:35Carl Rove working behind the scenes to interrupt and to strip funding from
  438. 31:39Tea Party candidates. You had Carl Rove and the establishmentarians working
  439. 31:43together with the Democrats to stop Tea Party candidates all over the country
  440. 31:47because they wanted to eliminate, dare I say, the impact and the influence of the
  441. 31:53the Tea Party upon the nation and in particular on the Republican Party.
  442. 31:58Going to your research.
  443. 32:01What I am saying to you is that this is another play of that same notion.
  444. 32:07The establishmentarians, this is how they say it.
  445. 32:10The establishmentarians can't stand quote unquote social conservatives.
  446. 32:15They find social conservatives to be a hindrance to their agenda, to which I simply would say,
  447. 32:21well what is your agenda, my man?
  448. 32:22Because you call yourself conservative. What is that? Are you conserving again?
  449. 32:25And you can't stand social conservatives and at the exact same time you just you're just as eager to blow the budget as a
  450. 32:36Party so what what exactly are you conserving? It's almost as if you're using
  451. 32:42the Republican Party as cover
  452. 32:46To advance I agenda items that are foreign to what we've understood conservatism to be can somebody tell me again why to save America
  453. 32:54Act hasn't passed yet
  454. 33:00Hello, my name is Andy Miller and I'm the president of Wesley Biblical Seminary based in Ridgeland, Mississippi
  455. 33:06We are developing trusted leaders for faithful churches and we do that based in the authority of scripture and in the reality that Christians can be transformed
  456. 33:16We do that also through bachelor's masters and doctoral degrees
  457. 33:20We'd love for you to learn more about Wesley Biblical Seminary at WBS.edu where we're developing trusted leaders for faithful churches
  458. 33:28Children, of course, are given to parents by God, not to the state. Children don't belong
  459. 33:38to the state, and we need to make sure that those lines are very clearly protected and
  460. 33:43increasingly secularized culture, where the government has not only tried to make the
  461. 33:50church completely irrelevant, but basically replace parents.
  462. 33:55Jenna Ellis in the morning, weekdays at 7 Central, on American Family Radio.
  463. 34:01The Hamilton Quarter podcast and one-minute commentaries are available at EFR.net
  464. 34:10back to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
  465. 34:14Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here.
  466. 34:18Man, oh man, oh man.
  467. 34:23So I'm going to say this.
  468. 34:27I alluded to it to yesterday how there's some people who really owe Senator Joseph McCarthy
  469. 34:33an apology. As he was, I guess as they say a little ahead of his time, I don't think
  470. 34:41so. We've gone from, it's a conspiracy you're talking about, communist, coming to America.
  471. 34:53And now you got the democratic socialists of America winning elections. It's an important
  472. 34:59of the country. Well, this has drawn the iron and I'm bringing this up because thank
  473. 35:07God for our First Amendment, the antidote to horrible speech is not censorship but better
  474. 35:11speech.
  475. 35:12So we need to examine bad ideas and articulate why these ideas are bad.
  476. 35:17That examination should of course include sociological examinations, academic study,
  477. 35:25so on and so forth.
  478. 35:26But the most important portion of the examination should be examining these ideas in light of
  479. 35:31what the word of God says.
  480. 35:32What does God's word say?
  481. 35:35right? Well, Van Jones is worried. Well, he will brag and this is true that he is one of
  482. 35:43the early authors of the Green New Deal. Kyle Flage on this whole deal. Some people may forget,
  483. 35:50but remember he was an early member of the Obama administration and he was deemed to be
  484. 35:55too radical for the Obama administration. So Barakus saying politely said, uh, Van, Van,
  485. 36:00we need you to step back. Help me to get elected. No, I need you to distance yourself from me.
  486. 36:05The same way while the shoot that Barack Obama smokes cigarettes like a train, which you never
  487. 36:11saw a picture of him with cigarettes in his hand.
  488. 36:13I wonder why that is.
  489. 36:16Probably the same reason why nobody still at this date is giving an account as to what
  490. 36:20goes on in that mansion in Colorado, just a few blocks down away from the White House.
  491. 36:27A former president lives down the street from the White House and that is not interesting
  492. 36:31to anybody in the media.
  493. 36:32Geez, I wonder why.
  494. 36:35Well, Van Jones is worried because the Marxists who are out front Marxists, unlike him, who
  495. 36:44was a concealed Marxist for as long as he could be, they have taken over largely the energy,
  496. 36:53the funding sources of the Democrat Party, and they've demonstrated that they're not
  497. 36:57afraid to run primary elections against establishment Democrat candidates.
  498. 37:02candidates, we just saw this in New York, in the congressional delegations, the congressional
  499. 37:08primary elections and in other places.
  500. 37:12Well, Van Jones is concerned and he expresses his concern by raising a particular word.
  501. 37:21Now many of you may recall, inspired by one of my favorite presidents, Calvin Coolidge, that
  502. 37:30I don't refer to people who describe themselves as progressive, I call them regressives.
  503. 37:34Why?
  504. 37:35Because as Calvin Coolidge articulated that there are certain facts that are established
  505. 37:42and that are transcendent.
  506. 37:44And I would add that are anchored in biblical truth.
  507. 37:46And if you move away from them, there is no way you can be moving forward or advancing
  508. 37:52humanity forward.
  509. 37:53The only way you can be moving is backwards.
  510. 37:55Hence description that I use to call these people regressives.
  511. 37:59Well, Van Jones is a little concerned, you know, because the Democrat party, as he wanted
  512. 38:05to be is one thing, but he's saying these socialists self-described socialists, they're
  513. 38:11taking the party in an entirely different direction.
  514. 38:14Dare I say a regressive one?
  515. 38:18Listen to and watch clip number five, clip number five.
  516. 38:22Go.
  517. 38:23I am a progressive Democrat.
  518. 38:25In other words, everything that's good in our party, I believe and have believed in for
  519. 38:30a long time.
  520. 38:31Do I want universal health care, Medicare for all, whatever you want to call it?
  521. 38:34Absolutely. If you are sick, you should be able to go see a doctor. That's a good idea.
  522. 38:38I want free education for everybody as long as they want to keep learning. I think I say good idea.
  523. 38:44The Green New Deal, I'm the author of the Green New Deal. The Green New Deal is my phrase for my first book in 2008.
  524. 38:52There's nobody more committed to criminal justice reform than me,
  525. 38:57ecological solutions, the whole deal. These are our
  526. 38:59are ideals as progressives.
  527. 39:02We should fight for them.
  528. 39:04We need them now more than ever.
  529. 39:06But what does it have to do with supporting Hamas?
  530. 39:09What does it have to do with putting up candidates who say we should have no police, no prisons,
  531. 39:16we can't deport anybody, even if they commit rape or murder, Israel shouldn't exist.
  532. 39:21These are terrible ideas.
  533. 39:23These are awful ideas.
  534. 39:25Where did these ideas even come from?
  535. 39:28We want people to join this party.
  536. 39:30When people come to the party, you want to give them a wonderful punch bowl of wonderful ideas like this.
  537. 39:35Who is putting the poop in the punch bowl?
  538. 39:38Why are these ideas in our punch bowl?
  539. 39:41These are regressive ideas.
  540. 39:45Yes, man. They are regressive ideas. Yours are too though.
  541. 39:49Don't you go on Jedi mind trick us away from recognizing that your ideas are regressive too.
  542. 39:53And you want to say who put the excrement in the punch bowl?
  543. 39:58You, you did.
  544. 40:00You and your home boys and your home girls
  545. 40:03who all came around and said,
  546. 40:05we gonna sing a regressive kumbaya all together.
  547. 40:08Y'all put the excrement in the punch bowl.
  548. 40:10But here's the thing, because as I said yesterday,
  549. 40:12hubris is blinding.
  550. 40:14Hubris is blinding.
  551. 40:16You didn't recognize when you embraced these people,
  552. 40:20you talking about you for criminal justice reform,
  553. 40:22Now they like, Nah fam, abolish the prisons.
  554. 40:26Get rid of them.
  555. 40:28To which Van Jones said,
  556. 40:28but what are you gonna put on the pedophiles?
  557. 40:31Oh, oh, oh, so she gonna act like you don't know
  558. 40:33about that one too, Van, you wanna know why?
  559. 40:35Cause there are people on your side, Van,
  560. 40:37who don't have a problem with pedophiles.
  561. 40:40That's your people talking about,
  562. 40:42we need to stop talking about pedophilia and peterasty
  563. 40:45and describe them as minor attracted persons.
  564. 40:47Oh, you don't know that, Van?
  565. 40:52He said, what are we gonna put on a Klansman?
  566. 40:53Van, you don't know that it's your party who made the clan popular in the first place?
  567. 41:02But he's scared though.
  568. 41:03He's scared.
  569. 41:06Because what's happening is the same thing that has happened in places all over the world
  570. 41:10whenever they've had their proletariat's uprisings.
  571. 41:16What happens is that the establishmentarians also end up being eaten by the revolutionaries.
  572. 41:24That's why, and he's scared.
  573. 41:26That's why he's now trying to draw a line to distinguish himself from these people.
  574. 41:38But I got bad news for Van, it's too late, my boy.
  575. 41:41It's too late.
  576. 41:43It's too late.
  577. 41:45You're not going to be able to overcome a lie with a lesser lie.
  578. 41:53Only the truth will abate the lie.
  579. 41:57Only the truth will overcome this lie.
  580. 42:00So what I wanted you to see is even, guys, track the utilization of the verbiage, right?
  581. 42:06You had the bull moose party historically.
  582. 42:10You know, you got the rows of Elps.
  583. 42:14You got Woodrow Wilson.
  584. 42:15And they kept changing their description, but they never changed their ideals.
  585. 42:19We're bull moose party.
  586. 42:21Oh, we're progressives.
  587. 42:22Oh, no, no, no, no, we're no longer progressives.
  588. 42:25We're Democrats.
  589. 42:26We're Democrats.
  590. 42:27And then from Democrats, now we are once again progressives.
  591. 42:33Progressing towards what?
  592. 42:34No, no, no, no.
  593. 42:35we are democratic socialists
  594. 42:44these people saying about the prison's they don't want they don't want to reform
  595. 42:46if they want to a ballister prisons
  596. 42:49that
  597. 42:52they want to abolish ice no no no borders who border border what
  598. 42:59medicare for what is that socialism
  599. 43:02but what is socialism let's let's let's talk what is it socialism
  600. 43:06most of the time mark levi told you it's an intermediary step towards communism
  601. 43:15what what what do you come in this one you know
  602. 43:18You know what I can Russia under communists Russia.
  603. 43:20They have a Politburo, you know, oh, would you look at that?
  604. 43:24The Democratic socialists of America just had a national political committee meeting last
  605. 43:29month.
  606. 43:31They've articulated a platform entitled workers deserve more of your watching the show.
  607. 43:38Again to my grandma Veronica is right here.
  608. 43:42Oh, what are the couple things they propose?
  609. 43:46Here we go.
  610. 43:49They amended their platform to quote, call for the abolition of the office of the president
  611. 43:55and the Supreme Court to be replaced by an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate
  612. 44:03to Congress.
  613. 44:04Oh, what do you say it is Bobby?
  614. 44:09An American Politburo.
  615. 44:14What do you call a judiciary and an executive that's subservient and subordinate to Congress
  616. 44:20What do you call that?
  617. 44:22Politburo.
  618. 44:25Politburo.
  619. 44:26That's right.
  620. 44:27Robin says, we're all going to start choking on all the labels
  621. 44:29and the names just because you changed your name.
  622. 44:30Don't mean you've changed the game.
  623. 44:33Robin's spitting bars.
  624. 44:36It's absolutely true.
  625. 44:38But I don't want you to just take this for the comedic value
  626. 44:42that it is because I believe these people
  627. 44:44need to be taken seriously.
  628. 44:47And they need to be exposed to what they're seeking to accomplish.
  629. 44:50They're now beginning to say, oh, yeah, yeah, we never
  630. 44:52were Democrats.
  631. 44:53What they believed in.
  632. 44:54And we just used the Democrat party because they was at one of the easiest ones to infiltrate
  633. 44:57and take over.
  634. 44:58That's what they're saying.
  635. 45:00And isn't it funny, remember, in 2024, how they tried to, I'm talking about the lying
  636. 45:08media to wrap Project 2025 around President Trump's lap, around President Trump's neck,
  637. 45:14I'm sorry.
  638. 45:16They would say things like the mysterious and sinister Project 2025 will overhaul the
  639. 45:22institutions that protect our freedom, right?
  640. 45:25Like for example, like I just told you, the workers deserve more platform, literally, literally
  641. 45:35is calling for the direct overhaul of our country's foundational institutions.
  642. 45:45Get rid of it.
  643. 45:48That's another, listen, for y'all or a student, melody is sharing online.
  644. 45:51If you want to change the people, change the language.
  645. 45:53Absolutely right.
  646. 45:54That comes straight from Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks.
  647. 45:58The very concept of politically correct language comes from Gramsci and one of his mechanisms
  648. 46:02was to change the verbiage.
  649. 46:05Weaponized words.
  650. 46:08You guys have various dute.
  651. 46:11Two years ago the Guardian ran a story and this story warned that Project 2025 was a dystopian
  652. 46:21was a quote dystopian plot that would abolish checks and balances in quote.
  653. 46:26That's what they said in the Guardian 2024.
  654. 46:27You remember what I just told you that the Democrat Association of Americans wanted to
  655. 46:31wants to do, they want to get rid of the presidency and the judiciary. The whole thing, get rid of it.
  656. 46:38Now, you know, I might not be Clarence Thomas, but I can read the Constitution. What is more
  657. 46:46destructive to the system of checks and balances that we have that if we get rid of a separate
  658. 46:51and independent executive branch and a separate and independent judiciary? But do you see any
  659. 46:59these screens from our media saying, warning, warning the Democratic
  660. 47:03Association of America want to quote, it is a quote dystopian plot
  661. 47:08that would abolish the checks and balances in our national fabric
  662. 47:12constitutionally. I haven't seen that. Have you seen that story?
  663. 47:15Had seen that story? Never seen that. But let's go further. 2024
  664. 47:22Time Magazine wrote that Project 2025 would grant President Trump
  665. 47:27quote absolute power and that his presidency, if you were to be elected, would constitute
  666. 47:35the shredding of the U.S. Constitution.
  667. 47:38Now here we are, what do we want?
  668. 47:39Two plus years into President Trump's second term and amazingly the Constitution has not
  669. 47:46been shredded.
  670. 47:47Isn't that something?
  671. 47:48In fact, you have a Supreme Court has rooted against President Trump on numerous fronts.
  672. 47:51Isn't that amazing?
  673. 47:54But at the exact same time, you have the Democrat Socialists of America saying, oh, by the
  674. 47:59way we want to abolish the Constitution and draft the whole new one. Guys, this is in the
  675. 48:03document. This is in the document. They're literally saying that we need to quote draft
  676. 48:09a new Constitution and create a democratic socialist republic. In quote, but this is what
  677. 48:15I want you to evaluate. Have you seen any screech or the lying media bringing the democratic
  678. 48:20socialists of America to task even after their elections recently across the country largely
  679. 48:25in New York and in other places?
  680. 48:27No, you haven't.
  681. 48:29You haven't seen that.
  682. 48:30And this, to my earlier references to Senator Joseph McCarthy,
  683. 48:36why haven't you seen this?
  684. 48:39Why?
  685. 48:41They were going crazy over Project 2025.
  686. 48:43They say much and nothing about this.
  687. 48:48The Democratic Socialists of America
  688. 48:49have outlined their agenda for the entire world to see.
  689. 48:54But the difference is in how Project 2025 was covered
  690. 48:58and how the Democrat Socialists of America
  691. 49:00being covered is very, very, very telling.
  692. 49:02Now here's the thing.
  693. 49:03President Trump didn't have nothing to do
  694. 49:04with Project 2025.
  695. 49:06The Heritage Foundation wrote it,
  696. 49:07and lots of other conservative organizations
  697. 49:09around the country contributed to it.
  698. 49:10My organization contributed to it.
  699. 49:13But here's the difference.
  700. 49:14You have members of Congress right now
  701. 49:16that are members of the Democratic
  702. 49:17Association of America.
  703. 49:18That's their party.
  704. 49:20You got a bunch of other newly elected candidates
  705. 49:22and their primaries who are members of their party.
  706. 49:25You would think that would,
  707. 49:27back and increase scrutiny.
  708. 49:29Wouldn't you?
  709. 49:30Think that?
  710. 49:31Unless there's some in the media who are cool with the DSA platform.
  711. 49:40The views and opinions expressed in this broadcast may not necessarily reflect those of the American
  712. 49:45Family Association or American Family Radio.
