0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
0:03It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
0:07This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
0:11It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
0:15Delivering people out of the bondage of mainstream media.
0:18And the philosophies of this world.
0:20God has called you and me to be His ambassador.
0:24Even in this dark moment.
0:26Let's not miss our moment.
0:28and now the Hamilton corner.
0:33Good evening, everyone.
0:34Welcome to the Hamilton corner,
0:36Abraham Hamilton III here.
0:39Delighted to be on the air with you in studio,
0:44joined by the corner contingent right across from me,
0:46my man 100 grand, Mr. Bobby,
0:48aldra dra dra dra dosa.
0:50And in the screening room, our friendly neighborhood,
0:53Woodaholic, Mr. Marty Sparks,
0:55is gliding up the dark from there.
0:57And we're ready to rock and roll
0:58with today's edition of the program.
1:00at this very moment many of you, if not most of you, are making your transition from your part-time jobs
1:05where you generate an income to your full-time jobs where you cultivate an outcome. And as you do so,
1:10I want to remind you to do so with intentionality. Understand in the primacy that God places on family
1:17and welcoming that primacy to govern, to guard, and to guide your engagement as well as my own.
1:26If we would welcome our Lord to grasp us in our families, in our homes, there's no question
1:36as to what can happen in society.
1:39Much of what is transpired in our society has corresponded to retrenchments that have
1:44occurred within our families, within our homes.
1:49And we have got to reverse that.
1:52In the overwhelming reality of the assessment of what is transpired in our nation, we have
1:57suffered an anti-Christ discipleship strategy to consistently move our populace away from
2:08the Lord.
2:09And the only way truly to reverse what's happening is to disciple, to proclaim the gospel and
2:18make disciples as a scripture commands us.
2:20That's just a simple reality.
2:22You know, we have lots of things.
2:24When I get to it, it's amazing that in spite of our nation's history and in spite of truth
2:29of world history and even the truth of scripture, we've now reached a point that according to
2:34CBS News, a new CBS poll has revealed that almost 60% of the Democrat party has a favorable
2:41view of socialism. Go figure, go figure. And some people are trying to say, oh, well, the
2:48Democrat party is having horrible time raising funds, which is true, but have you noticed what
2:53act blue is doing. The Democrat
2:57socialism of America and their
2:59acolytes are side stepping.
3:01The traditional Democrat party
3:03in order to build their own
3:05apparatus outside of the party
3:07structure. That's why you see
3:08people like Hiking Drefers and
3:09others, cozying up to the DSA.
3:15That's the reality. So what that
3:18shows is that there's a portion
3:20of our nation that has
3:24Embrace the program of Karl Marx.
3:31Now when you get into details and you point out particular things,
3:37you might find that there will be a straight somewhat, but it's happening folks.
3:41It's happening in our nation, which is why it's all the more important
3:45that we invest ourselves, commit ourselves, in making disciples.
3:49And I want to be clear what I'm saying. The investment
3:53in our nation to make disciples is not primarily
3:57to fix the country. No, no, no. The investment in our nation to execute our
4:04King's Commission is out of worship field obedience to Him. Now, a benefit of potent
4:12and critical obedience to our Lord's command will inevitably have the result
4:18of affecting our body politic. But that's not the primary motivation for doing so.
4:25So as you're making your transition right now from your part-time jobs to your
4:29full-time jobs. Let's do so with intentionality, understand in the
4:31primacy that God places on family and welcoming Him to lead us in our
4:37engagements and that we love our Lord so much that we obey Him and that we love
4:42our neighbors as ourselves, refusing to allow national headlines to
4:46manipulate us away from obeying our King, but we live locally, individual by
4:53individual, family by family, home by home, community by community. That is how we work.
4:59to the word of God we go Ephesians 4. I'm going to focus primarily on verses 14 through 16 about
5:04him back up all the way to verse 12 and read a little bit because this is what God's word says
5:10that he established God is explaining the purpose of establishing this church in verse 12 picks up and
5:14says for the equipping of the saints for the work of service or ministry to the building up
5:21of the body of Christ until we all that will be the body of Christ all attained to the unity of the
5:28faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God to a mature man, to the measure of the stature
5:37which belongs to the fullness of Christ.
5:42Until we all attain, I'm sorry, I just read that, verse 16, verse 14, I'm sorry, as a result
5:49of this, as a result of being grown into the measure of stature which belongs to the fullness
5:56of Christ.
5:57verse 14, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by
6:02waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery
6:08of men, by craftiness and deceitful scheming, but speaking the truth
6:15in love we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the
6:19head even Christ, from whom the whole body being fitted and held
6:24together, but what every joint supplies according to the proper working of each individual part
6:30causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love. When you get to verse 14,
6:40where it says that we're no longer children tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every
6:46wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, some translations written to this next phrase,
6:51by which they lie in wait to deceive, by which they lie in wait to deceive.
7:00All throughout scripture, you have the reality that God is warning and preparing his people
7:05to stand against deception, to stand against being hoodwinked, hoodwinked, bamboozled.
7:13Run them up, stupefied, because deception would be a primary tool of demonic agency.
7:25And if you noticed, it says, as a result, we're no longer tossed to and fro like children.
7:32We're no longer fickle.
7:33We're no longer.
7:34I'm not hungry.
7:35Would you like some ice cream?
7:36Yes, I'm hungry.
7:38I had the other night, my Maria prepared dinner.
7:43One of my children was eating dinner.
7:45And then they said, Daddy, I'm full.
7:47I said, all right, you're full.
7:49I put you plate away, put this away and you know, go and take care of these things.
7:53and they said, okay, can I have a cookie?
7:59And I said, wait, I thought you were full.
8:03They said, well, I am full of food.
8:05Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
8:07I said, oh, if you're full, you're saying,
8:09you don't have any more room left.
8:11Then the little one said, I have room for a cookie,
8:15then this was throwing in for good measure.
8:17I always have room for a cookie.
8:20Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
8:25well, one of the features of the discipleship, man,
8:27that we're stabilized, that we say what we mean when we say, we're not tossed to and fro.
8:33And I have to say it is heartbreaking to see just how on so many different fronts, man, we
8:44have people who are tossed to and fro and easily moved away from what we had previously professed
8:53to believe, easily deceived.
8:56And sometimes it's a byproduct of never having looked thoroughly into what it is we profess
9:00to believe, but other times it's just flat out just to coming to deception.
9:05It's to coming to deception.
9:07But being disciples in the church functioning as God has ordained us to function, it has
9:12a stabilizing impact, a stabilizing effect upon the people who are benefited from it.
9:20There's a reason why consistently, you know, on one hand, Jesus would say, have child like
9:25faith.
9:26This is never said be children for adults.
9:29Now if you're a child, you're a child.
9:31But all throughout the scripture you have admonitions,
9:33like when I was a child, I thought like a child.
9:35I reasoned like a child, but now that I'm a man,
9:38I put childish ways behind me.
9:42Here in Ephesians 4, 14, the resulting impact
9:48of growing into the measure of the fullness of Christ
9:51is that we're no longer to be children.
9:55No longer, no longer.
10:00Because one of the realities is that any offered deception,
10:04it's always going to come with a modicum of truth
10:07in order for it to be effective.
10:09The most effective deception always come
10:12with a modicum of truth.
10:16Jesus told a Satan presents himself as an angel of light.
10:23And it's just, I mean, I keep breathing heavily
10:25because they're like, really this?
10:27We're still dealing with this kind of stuff.
10:31You know, I was sharing one place, you know,
10:35about the truth of scripture and how, you know,
10:37Jesus uses the word, but aphos,
10:39and the gospel of Luke to describe unborn children
10:41and unborn child and describe children outside of the womb.
10:44It's the same word because from God standpoint,
10:46a child is a child, a bearer of God's images,
10:48a bearer of God's image.
10:49The child's location vis-a-vis a cervix does not utter
10:53or provide or establish value for the child.
10:57You know, I don't want to be crude at all,
10:58but I'm just, and a person was talking to me
11:03and you could tell they thought,
11:05well, this is going to be the one that's gonna back Abe up.
11:09And they say, well, what if, what if your child
11:12makes a mistake and they get pregnant?
11:15I'm just like, I said, okay, I said, well,
11:20and I have two daughters, most of you guys know that.
11:23One of my daughters, and let's be real,
11:29If they would, if they were not married,
11:31they would be violating God's standards
11:33for human sexuality.
11:35And in the process, if new life was formed,
11:40I said I would love my daughter,
11:41and I would love my grandchild.
11:42If the Lord blessed me in that fashion,
11:44to have a grandchild.
11:44And they said, you think that's a blessing?
11:45I was saying, yes.
11:48And they really thought that was gonna be,
11:51oh, I'm gonna get him with this one.
11:52I was like, that's not a challenging thing.
11:57And in this arrow where we are,
12:02So we've deified ourselves.
12:06We've deified ourselves.
12:08You know, we have refashioned faith to look like what we want so that our faith uncritically
12:16allows us to make every choice we want to make and affirms every decision that we make.
12:21It's interesting how that kind of faith kind of looks, the one on the throne kind of looks
12:26a lot like us.
12:27It's like, man, come on.
12:31these things are happening, these things are happening.
12:33And I saw, and I'm gonna get into this a bit in the second segment, I hadn't been following
12:40it in detail, but I started doing some digging on this a while back because this trial has
12:46been going on for nearly three weeks now in Massachusetts.
12:51And I saw these women rallying around the Plymouth Superior Court in favor and in support
12:58of a young lady who's standing trial for choking her own children to death, three of them, a
13:05five-year-old or three-year-old and eight-month-old.
13:09And I'm just, I'm gobsmacked by that, like, wow, like you're rallying there?
13:19But then I thought, say, well, I mean, I wonder how many of those women who showed up to rally
13:28around the courtroom, around the courthouse, how many of them would be planned murderhood
13:34You know because the unspoken reality is that the Genesis of I won't say unspoken reality
13:40but the rarely spoken reality that the Genesis of what became Planned Murdered Hood is the
13:47brainchild of a well-known you Genesis Margaret Sanger who her presentation wasn't merely murdering
13:55unborn children.
13:57She wanted to eliminate all human weeds.
14:02Those who were alive, who she deemed to be unfit for reproduction, unfit for meaningful
14:09contributions to society, just get rid of them using terminology like call the herd and
14:15things of that nature.
14:16And I said, man, I said to myself that I probably shouldn't be as struck as I am by seeing how
14:24many people are standing outside this courthouse because many of these same people who would
14:30share this ideology are the ones who would support the lie that was previously passed off
14:36as constitutional law that would say, well, if the circumstances were right, a woman should
14:41be allowed to murder unborn child.
14:44The tandem of Planned Parenthood and the casee really combined to communicate the fact that
14:47a child could be murdered for any reason, including to preserve the mental health of the
14:54mother.
15:00America's 250th birthday.
15:02It's a great excuse to have some extra cake and ice cream, but we can help your celebration
15:08go well beyond that.
15:10Show your patriotism with America 250 Apparel that will become a memento of this special
15:14year.
15:15We also have special episodes on AFA Stream to help underscore that America is a Christian
15:20nation and help you find God in the Constitution.
15:24Find all of this and more in one place.
15:26I'm Kaley Bush and I am just your regular small town daddy's girl.
15:37Four weeks after I had won the title of Miss North Florida, I was asked to sign a contract.
15:43Quote, female means a born female or an individual who has fully completed sex for your assignment
15:50surgery.
15:51I declined to sign resulting in the loss of my title, any scholarship opportunities.
15:56So we demanded that they rescind it, but unfortunately they would not.
16:00Today I'm standing to preserve sisterhood, the foundation of Miss America.
16:05But how can it be a sisterhood if the door is open to brothers?
16:09I believe that biology is real and that no boy is born in the wrong body.
16:14You know what makes people a leader is them following their convictions boldly and courageously.
16:18She wanted her integrity more than the crown and she wanted to follow our Lord Jesus Christ
16:22more than Miss America.

16:29Shiting light into the darkness.
16:37This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
16:42Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner.
16:43Abraham Hamilton III here.
16:44It's already alluded to it.
16:45I'm going to just jump right into it.
16:46I'm talking about this case out of Massachusetts to where this mom, mother of three, murdered
16:55her three children in 2023.
16:58He's now coming to face trial for the homicide of the three children.
17:04And I'm going to show in a moment, I'm going to talk a little bit and explain a little bit
17:08of set it up.
17:09But I'm going to show you some of the clips from the scenes that were outside of the courthouse
17:12today.
17:13And I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
17:20I want to see a couple of things as to lay the foundation for this.
17:24Most of you know, if you don't know, my prosecutor major fell in this for a decade, both in Houston,
17:30Texas, in the Harris County District Attorney's Office, and the New Orleans area as an assistant
17:34district attorney.
17:35So these are the kinds of cases that I personally prosecuted.
17:38I personally prosecuted cases where a mom had committed a heinous crime and postpartum was
17:49offered as a defense for the, to try to, um, disprove one of the elements that's necessary
17:59to prove in every criminal prosecution.
18:01That is the mens rea that's a Latin term from the mental state, uh, to, to say that the crime
18:06was not committed knowingly and willingly, that it was an, it was, I'm sorry, it was
18:10not an, an intentional act that took place.
18:15So that was to defend against the homicide charge.
18:25Everybody should understand we also in our legal system have standards for a negligent
18:30homicide and manslaughter and all these other kinds of things.
18:37But we should as a society, and I started with description in Ephesians 4, we should
18:43have the maturity to be able to hold multiple ideas and attention at the exact same time
18:48and provide to them the weight appropriate for the various concepts that we're holding
18:52in tension at the exact same time.
18:56So let me start here.
19:04I know postpartum depression is a real phenomenon.
19:09I know that.
19:11Postpartum depression is not the identical same thing as postpartum psychosis.
19:17One of them is a more continued phenomenon.
19:20The other postpartum psychosis would be an acute episodic phenomena.
19:28At the time of the murders, this woman's children were ages five, three, and eight months old.
19:39But the issue, the issue within any criminal prosecution, into determine the guilt or acquittal
19:49for the criminal conduct alleged is whether or not the person at the time of the commission
19:56of the offense, whether they have the mental faculties to allow them to determine that what
20:05they were doing, their activity, their actions were wrong, their action or their actions were
20:12wrong.
20:16The earliest stages of my prosecutor career, I prosecuted a lot of drive-and-while intoxicated
20:22When we started, we were called baby DAs, we were only allowed to prosecute no test, no
20:27accidents as you become more experienced.
20:29You progress to cases where there were accidents and ultimately as you become a seasoned major
20:34felony prosecutor, you've handled, I've handled, intoxication, manslaughter and instances like
20:41that.
20:42The major description when you have the utilization of alcohol as an intoxicating substance or drugs
20:49as intoxicating substance or a combination of them would be to assess whether or not the
20:56person had lost the normal use of their mental and or physical faculties.
21:04But when a person becomes intoxicated and they get behind the wheel of an automobile, they
21:12drive that automobile and they crash into another person resulting in that person's death,
21:21We don't excuse their conduct by saying, oh, but see, they have the normal use of the mental
21:26physical faculties.
21:27In fact, the opposite is true.
21:30We prosecute them knowing that the loss of their mental physical faculties is a contributing
21:35factor, but they still are responsible for their decisions that resulted in the elimination
21:40of another person's life.
21:43What a lot of people are conflating in this conversation is two different aspects of criminal
21:50prosecution.
21:51The first aspect is the culpability or the lack thereof for the actions that are alleged
21:58in the charge defense.
22:00To say it more directly and simply, did they commit the defense?
22:06In this case, there has been no contesting the fact that the offense was committed.
22:16The entirety of the case has changed to say, well, she did it, but her conduct should be
22:21excused because of these additional factors.
22:23In this case, the additional factors are her mental condition at the time.
22:32Additional factors.
22:33Well, the healthcare system failed her because they didn't provide her the help that she needed.
22:40And I understand in a lot of ways that the mental health profession is behind some of
22:45the more physical health elements in terms of its development and things of that nature.
22:52But the thing that really just, and again, I guess, I mean, I read enough stuff, I shouldn't
22:58be jolted as much as I am, but to see these women dressed in pink showing up to express
23:07their support, some of them even try to blame her husband for murdering her children.
23:13Which the defense team didn't even bring that up as a defense.
23:18Would you have people outside of the courtroom saying, yeah, husband is the one that's responsible.
23:24What?
23:26And the conflation that is occurring guys is,
23:31there hasn't even been any challenge
23:33as to whether or not she committed the actions.
23:36Guys, she strangled her own children to death.
23:41Three of them using a band from the gym.
23:52There's testimony that she expressed concern
23:54that, oh man, I need to get help
23:56because I might hurt somebody.
23:58In that expression, she's recognizing
24:00that hurting somebody is a bad thing.
24:04And in this instance, on the night of the offense,
24:08on the night of the murder of her three children,
24:13she sent her husband away.
24:19She husband, I need you to make a run to the store
24:21and make a run to the pharmacy.
24:23Now listen, in this era, especially with the Fauci revelations
24:27coming on, I am sympathetic to the fact
24:30that this woman had been prescribed medications.
24:35The testimony in the trial as I understand it showed
24:37that there were five different doctors that prescribed her
24:40to 12 different medications that she was taking all at once.
24:45I understand that.
24:49But is that enough to say that she's not aware
24:52that what she's doing is wrong?
24:56Guys, we are conflating things.
24:59We should be able to hold separate concepts in tension.
25:02We can assess that her conduct was wrong.
25:04And that is conduct that we as a society have to say,
25:07this is a do not pass, go do not put like a hundred dollars.
25:12Then when you consider the mental health factors
25:16and the medications that she was on and all these other things, those are factors that
25:19would go towards the assessment of the punishment that she should face.
25:24But that doesn't change whether or not she's guilty of the actions that she committed.
25:30And it is just, it is striking to me to witness what we're witnessing.
25:37Let me give you a couple of glimpses of what was happening outside of the courtroom today.
25:42So you had women gathering outside of the Plymouth Superior Court of Massachusetts to show their
25:47support for the defendant.
25:50I'm like, what?
25:59Let me show you what I'm talking about.
26:00Listen to and watch, this is a short clip.
26:04This is a clip of women gathered outside of the courtroom
26:09in Massachusetts, clip number six, clip six, go.
26:18It's a mental house.
26:25You'll ever have this many women in one place
26:28at one time, maybe you can.
26:30All of them on the level that others don't.
26:33So.
26:36Some of the people gathered there,
26:38They have their own babies in their arms.
26:43You see them for those who are listening on radio on the podcast, they're putting their
26:48hands up and putting it in a heart shape, standing there standing in solidarity with the defendant
26:53here.
26:55Give you another one.
26:57This really, I'm like, wow, you're going to hear there's several women that are interviewed
27:01there and one woman said, well, I'm here because that could be me standing on trial for something
27:06like this.
27:07That could be you.
27:08What?
27:09What?
27:10Listen to and watch clip number 7, this is about 22 seconds.
27:13Clip 7, go.
27:14You know, one of my sister-in-laws, it could be one of my best friends and it could be me.
27:18So just here to support.
27:20We are hearing her.
27:21We see that she tried everything and I really do believe that she went into a state of psychosis.
27:28We feel like the system failed her.
27:30She was begging for help and no one was there.
27:32I don't know if that's being able to make her feel any better but she's living in a
27:37**** right now.
27:38Like this woman said it could be her.
27:41I'm saying, do we understand like mental health
27:46is not like a one-size-fits-all.
27:47Like you can't go to Walmart, pick one up off the shelf.
27:50They said, well my conditions are identical to her conditions
27:52and so that could be me standing true.
27:54For killing three people, the type of psychosis
27:59they're talking about guys is so rare.
28:04It's so rare.
28:08These people are literally gathering to say,
28:11in one person said, I believe she was suffering
28:13psychosis at the time.
28:14You're saying that she was completely incapable in the moment of the murders of knowing what
28:20she did was wrong, incapable.
28:28And I just, wow, why didn't she wait?
28:34If she had such a break with reality, why didn't she try to murder the children when
28:37the husband was still there?
28:39Why did she injure herself after the fact?
28:42Why did she injure herself before trying to hurt her children?
28:45If she was so completely incapable and aware of that type of injury, guys, I'm, again, I
28:52understand the postpartum situations are very, very real.
28:57I understand that.
28:58But are they sufficient to render one incapable
29:02of ascertaining what is right versus what is wrong?
29:08And listen, what they said,
29:10I can't tell you how many homicide cases I prosecuted
29:12or what the defense was.
29:14Oh, they shouldn't be held responsible
29:15because they didn't know what they were doing at the moment.
29:20Do you realize that's the exact same assertion
29:23that was made that were made about the dude
29:28who murdered, what's her name, Zarena?
29:30What's I have her name here?
29:33The Ukrainian lady in North Carolina
29:35on the public transportation.
29:40I have her name here, I don't wanna say it.
29:42Yeah, Arena Zorutska is her name.
29:44Arena Zorutska.
29:46Do you realize that people that were saying,
29:47oh, he should not be held responsible
29:53for sitting on the train,
29:56for sitting on the public transportation,
29:57say, ooh, I'ma get that white girl.
30:00So he didn't know what he, guys.
30:03And I know these cases are not identical,
30:05But what I want you to see is that these types of defenses
30:11are used all the time.
30:14Any concern or sympathy for the mental health condition,
30:20the synergistic effects of the medications,
30:23and these things, guys, these are considerations
30:26for punishment.
30:27Those are not considerations for whether or not
30:29she did the crime.
30:31Do you understand what I'm saying to you?
30:36And I'm not saying, do you understand what I'm saying
30:37to you to infer that you do not understand what I'm saying?
30:40I'm saying that as we mature a stability should arise in us,
30:44but we're able to say, wait a minute.
30:48Yes, our healthcare system is broken in many different ways.
30:52Yes, big pharma lies in a lot of ways.
30:54I mean, with Dr. Fraucci and the stuff that they got going on
30:57and the vaxxer not the vaccine is a vaccine
31:00and all these kinds of things.
31:01Yes, these are things that need to be considered.
31:05But the bottom line is are you saying that she's unaware,
31:08completely incapable of ascertaining,
31:11whether it was right or wrong for her to do what she did.
31:15Guys, that's way beyond the pale.
31:23And what I want you to also take into consideration,
31:26the whole Margaret Sanger ethos,
31:32they supported the ideas of, well,
31:34we will call it infanticide now.
31:39But if we have to call the herd
31:43and the whole Planned Parenthood versus Casey mindset
31:47from that Supreme Court case,
31:52that well, their body, my choice.
31:59And I'm, I'm gravely concerned that this is really this,
32:01this ideology is what's undergirding this,
32:06this support that these people are showing
32:08outside of the courthouse and the,
32:10the discourse occurring online with all of the evidence.
32:17And I'm not on the jury in the cases going on.
32:18I think we're in what, 17 days into this trial?
32:28The concerns about these other things that would be viewed
32:31as mitigating factors do not mitigate,
32:35whether or not the crime occurred.
32:37These are considerations that should be applied
32:40in the sentencing side, not on the culpability side,
32:44but the inability to walk and chew gum at the same time,
32:47the whole multiple concepts and tension
32:48at the exact time and recognize, whoa,
32:51we as a society can't start saying that,
32:53well, people who the healthcare system
32:55and particularly the mental healthcare system fails,
32:58then they have a, they have carte blanche
33:01to commit homicide.
33:04Do you understand how dangerous that is?
33:08for society and two do you realize right now,
33:11not following this case, before her case ever occurred,
33:14how often this, I would argue, excuse is used
33:19that all the mental health community failed me,
33:22so you shouldn't hold me responsible for murdering somebody.
33:29We live in a day when America's families
33:32are under attack like never before.
33:34Buddy Smith, senior vice president
33:37of the American Family Association.
33:39The war against biblical principles rages on numerous fronts.
33:43The Internet, Hollywood, Washington DC,
33:46America's corporate boardrooms, and the list goes on.
33:50At American Family Association, we're committed
33:53to standing against the enemies of God,
33:56the enemies of your family.
33:58And we recognize it's an impossible task
34:00without God's favor and your partnership.
34:04Thank you for being faithful to pray for this ministry,
34:07to give financially and to respond to our calls for activism.
34:11What you do on the home front is crucial
34:14to what we do on the battlefront.
34:17We praise God for your faithfulness.
34:19And may he give us many victories in the battles ahead
34:22as we work together to restore
34:24our nation's biblical foundations.
34:34Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Commentaries
34:37are available at eafr.net.
34:39Back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
34:45Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner.
34:47Abraham Hamilton III here, guys.
34:49I am not saying that we should not have any compassion.
34:52We should have compassion.
34:53We have to be able to appropriate it and to place it appropriately.
34:58We cannot allow.
35:00I mean, that's the whole toxic empathy conversation is that when,
35:04when your compassion allows you to affirm sin,
35:07we need to reevaluate whether or not this is true compassion.
35:09As the scripture lines it out, you know,
35:13with all of these rallies, I haven't seen anybody gathering
35:15to support those three babies.
35:18Not a, not a, not a, in fact, it's almost like the, the, the baby's being dead.
35:24It's not even a part of the conversation.
35:27It's like a, it's like background noise.
35:33It's like, man, what, what is, what is going on with us, man?
35:38What is going on with us?
35:41It's just wild.
35:42I'm, I'm not saying you need to be, I mean, I mean, I can tell you plenty of times I would
35:46have, have cases and I prosecute a defendant or a suspect and, and when the case is over,
35:51I would go over and hold over, so I'm pray with the person and their attorney.
35:55But that doesn't mean I'm incapable of discerning right and wrong.
36:05The considerations for these additional factors should be considered in terms of what the punishment
36:11will be, not ignoring the activity.
36:21I alluded to this earlier.
36:27I'm going to go into a bit more detail here.
36:31According to the CBS, the recent released CBS poll, 58% of Democrat respondents quote
36:43hold a positive view of socialism.
36:47That that 58% is 26 points higher than the 32% of Democrat respondents that had a positive
36:53view of capitalism.
36:59This is probably why you saw, you know, Hakeem Jeffery, which is the house minority leader.
37:05He succeeded Nancy Pelosi in the House of Representatives while he would say he rejects
37:11co-core parts of the Democrat Socialists of America's platform.
37:18He nevertheless said the DSA is a vital part of the Democrat Party coalition.
37:25That is the same DSA that wants to abolish the presidency, abolish the Senate, abolish
37:30the Supreme Court and other institutions. They want to have open borders. They want to eliminate
37:36abolished ICE. They want to close prisons, no prisons, no police. You want to confiscate private
37:44property. You got, you know, the whole deal, your whole deal, the whole deal. The same poll found that
37:5024% of the Democrat respondents had quote, no opinion of socialism. So 58% had a positive view.
37:5724% had no opinion of socialism.
38:03Only 32% had a positive view of capitalism.
38:08And this is not a poll that is in isolation.
38:10Other polls are showing a similar trend.
38:13The economist slash U-gov survey that was done recently showed that was 62% of Democrat
38:19respondents said they would vote for a Democratic socialist candidate.
38:23Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.
38:33He explained the Hegelian dialectical process.
38:35I've shared with you before that Hegel was the one who discipled Marx.
38:39A lot of people don't remember that factor, but it is Hegel that inspired Marx, which
38:45is why it shouldn't be surprising that Marxists employ the Hegelian dialectical process to
38:50advance Marxist ideologies.
38:52Many of you have experienced, you live through the times where you've witnessed, just like
38:57I've explained before that the Democrat Party's position becomes the most recently adopted
39:05party, the most recently adopted position of the Republican Party as the Democrats move
39:10further down the regressive spectrum only later to be followed by the Republican Party as
39:15a whole.
39:16You know, I mean, a rare recent example of that is Obamacare.
39:22Remember how vehemently Obamacare was opposed by Republicans?
39:26And now you won't find a Republican anywhere saying we need to get rid of Obamacare.
39:30Which by the way is still on the books.
39:32You realize that?
39:33Obamacare is still the law in the country.
39:35What has happened under President Trump via an executive maneuver that the tax penalty
39:39for not complying with it has been zeroed out.
39:42That's all.
39:43So what do you think will happen when you have another party occupying the White House?
39:49What do you think is going to happen with the tax penalty with Obamacare?
39:52You don't even have to guess.
39:53So our mom, Donnie's already showing you.
39:58And it's sad, man.
40:00It's sad, sad.
40:03And the major reason why it's so sad is that the foundational tenet of Marxism is a rejection
40:12of a biblical anthropology.
40:14To say it differently, it is a rejection of what the Bible says about man's sin nature.
40:19It assumes that man does not have a sin nature.
40:22That's what it assumes.
40:28And it's galling to me that we have people currently that feel this way and they obviously
40:36seem to be completely unaware of the bloody 20th century, the first nation to establish
40:44itself as a thoroughly and completely Marxist nation where, and some people I don't think
40:54know this, the Kremlin which has become the head of the Russian government, do you realize
40:58the Kremlin used to be a church?
40:59Do you realize the most I don't think you knew that Marty's not and he knew that the Kremlin was a church and
41:05the Russians
41:08following the 1917 revolution made a
41:14Declaration that the state was replacing the church
41:20Yeah, yeah, and then in the 20th century where you know
41:26the proletariat uprisings
41:29The workers of the world were uniting it just happened to be the bloodiest century in human history
41:36Literally hundreds of millions of people murdered and that's the way before we even get to World War two
41:42you got miles a tongue in China who in the
41:4750s
41:49Have the culture revolution in China because China wasn't always a communist nation
41:53Then some people say well, hey look at what China's become a rival of America
41:58It's because they they moderated some of their positions, but there's still a communist in the ethos at its core
42:03They moderated some of their positions to allow themselves to participate with markets
42:11under a controlled status regime, but they just murdered a few million people on the
42:18way to getting where they are and polepot what he's done, Cambodia and Vietnam and North
42:26Korea and on don't forget.
42:29And then I try to remind people of this all the time, people talk about the Nazis, but
42:32But they try to hide the fact that the Nazis were socialists.
42:37The word Nazi literally means national socialists.
42:42They were national socialists.
42:44That's why when I talk to people in regular conversation and they say something about the
42:46Nazis, they say, yeah, yeah, those national socialists.
42:49And usually I get, huh?
42:51I like, yeah, the Nazis were national socialists.
42:55That's what the word means.
42:57Like, oh, I didn't know that.
43:01Yeah.
43:02Mm-hmm.
43:04Mm-hmm.
43:10But according to these polls, approaching 60% of a major American political party, its members
43:21want the socialism.
43:24They want the Marxism.
43:28In other words, they want the Venezuelan path.
43:33They want the Cuban path.
43:35Well, let me stick with Venezuela because Cuba had a violent revolution, but many of the
43:47people supported Castro initially.
43:51they were a lot who didn't and they were murdered in Cuba and many fled but a lot of
43:58the people in Cuba supported Castro initially but in Venezuela they actually voted for Chavez
44:04and so you have the DSA adherents and the people who won't they're not they're not putting their
44:10money with the Democrat party oh no boy not the official party but they're sure getting their
44:13money to the DSA and into the care and Muslim Brotherhood aligned packs that support people
44:21People like Abdul-Sayed in Michigan and don't realize, man, you are inviting disaster.
44:32You truly are.
44:34And the skill of the Marxist has always been to find, stop me if you heard this before, to
44:42find a source of grievance and the grievance is connected to legitimate concerns, but then
44:49you superimpose your preexisting solution.
44:56The reality of, you know, it's described as the affordability crisis, one of the major things,
45:03which the circumstances and conditions were established to allow this type of theft to occur,
45:12that is through inflation.
45:13Well when you prohibit scores of American citizens from learning about things like inflation
45:23and they sometimes can't even explain why they feel such pain, why does it cost so much
45:28money for a loaf of bread now?
45:30You know, these things, it's real that the dollar doesn't go as far as it used to go.
45:37And some say, well, the factors are too numerous and complicated to understand.
45:40No, they're not.
45:41They're not too numerous and complicated to understand.
45:43They're not.
45:46But many people have been deprived of the capacity to do understand.
45:48I would argue intentionally and what happens, you know, the sololensky rules for the pragmatic
46:01primmer for realistic radicals rules for radicals take advantage of the chaos for what to respond
46:06to the people's needs? No! You use the chaos, you use the pain as a vehicle to bring your
46:12agenda in. Hence, Democratic Socialists of America. Hence, more than half of a major political party
46:23according to this poll, of course, to these polls I just mentioned, will support have a favorable
46:29view of socialism. Yeah. Yeah, the dollar isn't stretching as far as before. Well, the people who
46:37put the sirens songs syrup on their verbiage, you work so hard, you know, people over-profits
46:46as if people are not involved in profits. Oh, man, Lord, we need you. We need you. And all of these
46:56issues that we're discussing, you know, it gets right back down to it and we have some very, very
47:01profound comments I saw.
47:09Really what matters, man, we have people
47:11being manipulated into embracing these different things
47:15because they bought the lie that Jesus is not the answer.
47:23And we've allowed unbiblical notions
47:26to grip us really at a heart level, at a heart level.
47:32That's why I didn't condemn a lot of the young people
47:37people when they were responding to the program and they just suffered for many of them 10
47:43years or if not longer.
47:45When they say, oh, they're planning, we gotta do stuff about the planet.
47:47It's gonna, it's all gonna go, it's all gonna go.
47:50I'm scared.
47:52I'm scared.
47:53Got you.
47:54I got you.
47:55Lots of young people who believe that stuff, who became climate alarmist because that's all
47:57they've been told what was happening.
47:59And now it comes out just like Dr. Fauci, man, the things that were submitted to form the
48:06basis with these opinions were fallacious from the beginning.
48:08They were false.
48:09They were false.
48:13They ran with a narrative that they created because the narrative was effective to accomplish
48:19policy-wise what many of the people wanted to accomplish.
48:23So you had the loud proclamation of the climate-alarmist position, but when the evidence comes in, it
48:29shows that, and you do realize, the foundation for this stuff has been, was hollow from the
48:33beginning, that's kind of whispered.
48:38Was the old saying a lie we're traveling around the world twice before the truth could
48:41who'd ever get beginning to catch up?
48:42Because people tend to run with their lives, you know?
48:47But that's not an excuse not to convey the truth.
48:52And this is why the truth must be heralded.
48:56The truth of the capital T and truth, the lower case T, must be heralded.
49:08It can be challenging sometimes in a world to where confidence is usually the product
49:14of unanimity.
49:18Well, what does what is the peculiar to do in a world where unanimity is often
49:23misconstrued as truth?
49:24As truth.
49:26We press forward the truth anyway.
49:31Man, we need to pray for our country, pray for the people in our country.
49:34I'll be praying for these women who are outside of this courthouse today
49:39that the Lord will open their eyes concerning the appropriate placement of
49:43compassion because we don't want people to be deprived of compassion.
49:47But we don't want people to not have any compassion, but we have to make sure our compassion
49:51is applied properly.
49:54That's what I'm saying.
49:56Until next time, by God's grace, you all have a wonderful evening and looking forward
50:00to being right back with you at another time.
