  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. 0:10It 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. Good evening everyone welcome to the Hamilton Corner right here on
  11. 0:38American Family Radio where we are broadcasting live from Orlando Florida as we are here for the
  12. 0:49home school legal defense association's 2026 National Leaders Conference. I'm so grateful to be here
  13. 0:55with you Abraham Hamilton the third is my name Mr. J. Mac produce extraordinary often
  14. 1:01imitated never duplicated is with us here on site. My main man 100 grand Mr. Bobby
  15. 1:07has got the board on lock enabling us to broadcast on location for this evening's program and
  16. 1:15we are ready to rock and roll at this very minute many of you if not most of you are making
  17. 1:21your transition from your part time jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs
  18. 1:26where you cultivate an outcome. And as you do so, I want to encourage you to do so with
  19. 1:30intentionality, understanding the primacy that God places on family and welcoming his
  20. 1:36view to govern, guide and to guard your not only understanding, but your engagement in your
  21. 1:42homes. I say it repeatedly and I will say it again today. I refuse to allow the headlines
  22. 1:47of the day, the stories of the day, the lying, talking snake media to manipulate you away
  23. 1:53from doing what is required of you right where you are.
  24. 1:57We must live locally and as you live locally, that most immediate engagement outlet for your
  25. 2:06living locally is right in your own homes.
  26. 2:10You know, husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her.
  27. 2:15love and submit to your own husbands. It's unto the Lord husbands and wives
  28. 2:20together rear your children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord with
  29. 2:25husbands being ultimately responsible for that. As I am telling you that making
  30. 2:30that statement God knows the stations of life that we are in. God knows some of us
  31. 2:36are in various stages some of you have adult children and are not in the home
  32. 2:39anymore. Some of you are grandchildren some of you may be widower some of you
  33. 2:43Maybe widow some of you may never have had children, but the reality is this we must
  34. 2:49Exalt the king of glory starting right in our own homes
  35. 2:52And if we would welcome the Lord to grasp a hold of us in our homes
  36. 2:57There's no question as to what we could accomplish and it is it should be
  37. 3:03instructive for us that
  38. 3:06Western civilization including our own constitutional republic with Democrat features flows from it flows outwardly from
  39. 3:13the revelation of the Amago Day.
  40. 3:16It flows outwardly from the application of a biblical worldview to society.
  41. 3:21We must never forget that. It will never work in the reverse.
  42. 3:25You will not be able to start with an assessment of the features of Western civilization
  43. 3:30and then work toward trying to cultivate some semblance of godliness of biblical fidelity.
  44. 3:38It will not work in that direction.
  45. 3:41because if you have a godless pursuit of ordered liberty, guess what you're going to end up?
  46. 3:47You're going to end up at the same place where the godless end up.
  47. 3:50But if we would humble ourselves, this is what God tells us.
  48. 3:54If we would humble ourselves and submit to God,
  49. 3:59Satan has no course, no option but to flee from us.
  50. 4:05That is the reality.
  51. 4:06If we would humble ourselves, submit to God,
  52. 4:10The darkness must flee, which is why I say repeatedly darkness is not an affirmative force, but it reoccupies the space that is vacated by
  53. 4:19The light and all that is necessary and we know this intuitively what is necessary
  54. 4:25To vanquish the darkness is to turn the light on none of us goes home at the end of a workday
  55. 4:30Many of you are doing gonna do that in a few moments. You're heading home right now. None of us say hey, honey
  56. 4:35would you turn the darkness off? Nobody says that. It is because we know that what is needed
  57. 4:41to vanquish the darkness is to turn the light on. If it's to turn the light on, that's what
  58. 4:47we need to have done. So as you're making your transition from your part time jobs to your
  59. 4:53full time jobs, let me remind you, do it. We must all do this with intentionality. In light
  60. 5:00of that, I'm going to turn to the Word of God, but I'm going to start with the principle.
  61. 5:03But then I want to revisit a biblical text we've been talking about for quite some time.
  62. 5:08In James chapter 4, the Lord says this very plainly, that God gives greater grace.
  63. 5:15Therefore it says God is opposed to the proud.
  64. 5:19God is opposed to the proud but gives grace to the humble.
  65. 5:23When the scripture says God gives greater grace, the Greek terminology there is, myzan karis.
  66. 5:28God gives myzan karis.
  67. 5:31He opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.
  68. 5:34And as, and this is really a part of my personal devotions,
  69. 5:37I don't usually do this for the show,
  70. 5:39but I was reading in the book of Isaiah,
  71. 5:41and Isaiah chapter nine,
  72. 5:42there's a portion of scripture that God identifies,
  73. 5:45and his word he says, that this is an assertion made in pride
  74. 5:49and in the arrogance of heart.
  75. 5:51And Isaiah chapter nine, it's wedged
  76. 5:53between the texts in chapters eight and chapter 10,
  77. 5:57when the Lord prophesies specifically through Isaiah,
  78. 6:00that the Assyrian Empire would be used to judge them.
  79. 6:04He says it specifically in chapter eight,
  80. 6:06reaffirmed it in chapter 10.
  81. 6:08But in between those, as he diagnoses the problems
  82. 6:13that Israel is displaying a stiff neckness,
  83. 6:17that they're not properly discerning.
  84. 6:19He says this in Isaiah chapter nine,
  85. 6:21verses eight through 10.
  86. 6:24This is what he says,
  87. 6:25the Lord sends a message against Jacob
  88. 6:27and it falls on Israel.
  89. 6:28All the people know it.
  90. 6:30That is, Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria,
  91. 6:34asserting in pride and in arrogance of heart,
  92. 6:38the bricks have fallen down,
  93. 6:40but we will rebuild with smooth stones.
  94. 6:43The Sycamores have been cut down,
  95. 6:44but we will replace them with cedars.
  96. 6:48And the Lord makes this identification
  97. 6:50because the people of Israel,
  98. 6:51this is specifically referring to the Lord
  99. 6:53and the Kingdom of Israel,
  100. 6:54prior to their conquest by the Assyrians.
  101. 6:58And unlike the Southern Kingdom of Judah,
  102. 6:59There was no backseat.
  103. 7:00There was no comeback from it.
  104. 7:02And the Lord says, this assertion is made in pride.
  105. 7:05You recognize that the bricks are falling.
  106. 7:06You see something is wrong.
  107. 7:08You see things are happening, but instead of those things provoking a humility and a repentance
  108. 7:15and a turning to God, the Israelites unilaterally concluded, oh well, the bricks are falling.
  109. 7:20Well, we'll just replace them with smooth stones.
  110. 7:23Some translations, they are say, dress stones.
  111. 7:25Woods is replacing them with dress stones.
  112. 7:28The sycamores have been cut down.
  113. 7:30have been cut down. So these are not a sycamores that have just fallen by
  114. 7:36feature of natural occurrences. There is an external force that has been applied
  115. 7:40to the sycamores that has led to them being cut down. The Israelites in an
  116. 7:44under-searning yet God says, and a prideful assertion says, oh well, we're replacing
  117. 7:49with cedars. Why am I presenting this? I'm presenting this to us today because
  118. 7:55many people in our country right now look around and say, man, things are going
  119. 7:59on her eye.
  120. 8:00What do you mean you got a city Supreme Court justice who doesn't know what a woman is?
  121. 8:04What are you talking about?
  122. 8:05What are you talking about?
  123. 8:07And I said then during her confirmation area, I said this is one of the most absurd assertions
  124. 8:11I've ever heard in the confirmation hearing because she's inevitably going to be a part
  125. 8:15of the deliberating on a case that's going to go up before her.
  126. 8:18What's happened since you've been on the bench?
  127. 8:19That exact same thing has happened.
  128. 8:21You know, in our society, we're having conversations.
  129. 8:23I never forget where the state of Tennessee had to argue, had to argue that it had the
  130. 8:28lawful authority to protect its minor citizens from genital mutilation and
  131. 8:33chemical concentration and you have people saying no oh you can't do that it's
  132. 8:37Marat like that that's that is absurd we we're we're right now and I and let's
  133. 8:43just be real about this and I'm not advocating in favor of this but remember
  134. 8:48how up in arms our society was when when Michael Vick was fighting dogs and
  135. 8:53dogs and being killed and all that kind of stuff then we just see women showing
  136. 8:57up and pink to support a woman who won't fight in dogs, she's strangled all three children to death.
  137. 9:03What is going on with us guys? This is crazy, but we need to be mindful of the notion that it
  138. 9:09is viewed from God's standpoint to be an assertion of pride to say, well, we'll just build it,
  139. 9:15we'll just stop being heard this before, we'll just build it back better.
  140. 9:19We'll just go ahead on and do it on our own with no consideration of the necessity of turning to God
  141. 9:24and I will remind you again that this is also the people that have a duty around me 28.
  142. 9:28that the first 14 verses of the chapter have,
  143. 9:32you know where Fred Hammon's song came from.
  144. 9:33We're blessed in the city.
  145. 9:35Well, guess what?
  146. 9:36That chapter has doubled the amount of negative consequences.
  147. 9:4028 entire verses that say,
  148. 9:42if you do not harden diligently to the Lord your God,
  149. 9:45then these things will befall you.
  150. 9:46And the Lord said explicitly,
  151. 9:48when the heavens, if the heavens are shut up his brass
  152. 9:50and there be no rain,
  153. 9:51that's not an occasion for you to start going around
  154. 9:53and hopping around a fire dancing before a pagan deity
  155. 9:57who professes to be a DD over agriculture.
  156. 10:00No, if the heavens are shut up as brass,
  157. 10:02it is because God is trying to communicate to you
  158. 10:04that you have violated his standards,
  159. 10:06that you've gone crossways with him.
  160. 10:09But if we had this continued assertion
  161. 10:12that we're just gonna, we're gonna just fix it
  162. 10:14in our own strength, we're gonna humanistically make the change,
  163. 10:17we're gonna do this on ourselves.
  164. 10:18I want to point out to you that the Lord
  165. 10:20through the prophet Isaiah says, be careful,
  166. 10:23because that is an assertion of pride.
  167. 10:24And put that together with what we just talked about
  168. 10:27from the book of James.
  169. 10:28How does God respond to the proud?
  170. 10:32Our national history,
  171. 10:35the United States of America's history,
  172. 10:37demonstrates that a king is not saved by the might of his army.
  173. 10:42Our nation's history is a goliath story.
  174. 10:45We had no business as a fledgling nation of colonists,
  175. 10:51dethoning King George.
  176. 10:52That's our national fiber and fabric.
  177. 10:57So when we ask, well, what makes a nation great?
  178. 10:59I rejoice at the notion that we had the most robust military in the world.
  179. 11:03But you know what?
  180. 11:03The Lord that I serve, he doesn't need the most robust military to be victorious.
  181. 11:08Our nation's history demonstrates that.
  182. 11:10More importantly than that, the Word of God demonstrates that.
  183. 11:14So then what's needed?
  184. 11:16A booming economy alone does not make a nation great.
  185. 11:19Well, what makes a nation great?
  186. 11:20The scripture tells us, Proverbs 1434, Psalm 33, righteousness exults a nation.
  187. 11:26Sinners are approaching any people.
  188. 11:28If you're wondering what has happened to our society,
  189. 11:29people go on crossways.
  190. 11:31People who seemingly would be intelligent
  191. 11:34come up with the most ridiculous assertions.
  192. 11:37The Lord told us, as he had 61st,
  193. 11:40when darkness covers the earth,
  194. 11:41gross darkness covers the people,
  195. 11:42you have a generalized darkness in the society,
  196. 11:44and you have a particularized darkness in the minds
  197. 11:48of people.
  198. 11:50We shared the data on this show
  199. 11:51that from within the last 25 years,
  200. 11:55the numbers of unmarried young men
  201. 11:57between the ages of 20 and 39 years old,
  202. 11:59it's not almost two to one,
  203. 12:02now almost two to one.
  204. 12:05Guys, the issue that we have most prevalently
  205. 12:09is we must return to the Lord, but here's the thing.
  206. 12:12Here's the thing God has ordained his people
  207. 12:14to be his hands and feet.
  208. 12:16And if we are going to allow cowardice to govern us,
  209. 12:20to where we are afraid to open up our mouths,
  210. 12:22to tell the truth, to tell the truth.
  211. 12:26I told you guys my story.
  212. 12:27I didn't know anything about political assertions
  213. 12:30and all these kind of things.
  214. 12:31The first time I heard the word conservative,
  215. 12:32it was launched at me as an insult.
  216. 12:34And if you're just a conservative,
  217. 12:36I had no clue what it meant.
  218. 12:38All I knew, and I told him this, I said,
  219. 12:39when I know that the Lord has saved me
  220. 12:42and he's given me this, it's called his word.
  221. 12:43And I'm gonna live with every breath
  222. 12:45that he gives me to live according
  223. 12:47to what he requires of me.
  224. 12:52But we have to say something, we have to stand up.
  225. 12:55We have to be willing to do the thing.
  226. 12:58And again, it shouldn't be surprising
  227. 12:59that when the Lord says you will peculiar people
  228. 13:02that we actually are viewed as being peculiar to the world.
  229. 13:06I said a long time ago, I'm not interested
  230. 13:08in ingratiating myself to the broad rotors.
  231. 13:11I'm not interested in that.
  232. 13:13I mean, one time I showed up on right wing watch.
  233. 13:16You know, that little thing was on the website,
  234. 13:18right wing watch, you put my own right wing watch.
  235. 13:21You know, it's like, what is that?
  236. 13:23You can say what you want.
  237. 13:25But this is what the word of God teaches.
  238. 13:28but we must have the wherewithal to say,
  239. 13:31listen, you can have your opinion,
  240. 13:35you can have your delusion,
  241. 13:37you can say that this is where you stand,
  242. 13:40but you have the right to be wrong,
  243. 13:42but I'm not gonna allow your wrongness to cause me
  244. 13:45to be mute or to try to amend the truth of God's word.
  245. 13:49And here's the other thing,
  246. 13:50and I say this with repetition,
  247. 13:52but the fact that you and I are alive right now
  248. 13:54was not a conventional coincidence of modernity.
  249. 13:57Acts 17 says that God has divinely ordained
  250. 14:01before you and I ever inhaled or exhaled one breath
  251. 14:04to be alive in this moment.
  252. 14:06And then he told us why, so that we should seek God.
  253. 14:09First, we will seek God and there'll be advocates
  254. 14:12of God being sought.
  255. 14:13So he's not surprised by the craziness that surrounds us.
  256. 14:17He's actually ordained us for this moment.
  257. 14:19So what are we gonna do with it?
  258. 14:22What are we gonna do about it?
  259. 14:24Well, we love the Lord with all of our heart,
  260. 14:27our soul, our strength, and love our neighbors as ourselves,
  261. 14:30and that love for our neighbors is the love
  262. 14:32that is not based on convenience,
  263. 14:34but we love them in that fashion
  264. 14:36because eternity truly hangs in the balance.
  265. 14:39And if we have an eternal seat for the love
  266. 14:43that we have with display for our neighbors,
  267. 14:44we'll have Jesus like compassion,
  268. 14:46which is not merely empathy.
  269. 14:48Jesus was moved from compassion on the crowds
  270. 14:50and guess what he did in response?
  271. 14:52He taught them many things.
  272. 14:54Guys, we've been ordained for this moment.
  273. 14:56Let's be about our Father's Christmas.
  274. 15:01discipleship minute with Joseph Parker. Psalm 23 beginning at verse 1.
  275. 15:06The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures.
  276. 15:14He leads me beside the still waters he restores my soul. He leads me in the
  277. 15:21paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of
  278. 15:26the shadow of death I will fear no evil for you are with me.
  279. 15:31You're riding your staff, they comfort me.
  280. 15:35You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
  281. 15:40You anoint my head with oil my cup runs over.
  282. 15:44Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.
  283. 15:49And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
  284. 15:53All of Psalm 23.
  285. 15:55Shining light into the darkness, this is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
  286. 16:15Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner everybody.
  287. 16:16We are live in Orlando, Florida for the 2026 Home School Legal Defense Association's National
  288. 16:22Leaders Conference.
  289. 16:24Very simply put, I've said this and I'll say it again here, I believe that God allowed the
  290. 16:29home schooling movement to be pioneered as a primary vehicle to cascade generational
  291. 16:35disciple making and to pave the way for it to be done legally.
  292. 16:41When many of the pioneers of the homeschool movement in the
  293. 16:4470s and 80s began doing what they were doing, it was illegal
  294. 16:48in many states. And thanks, Peter God, for the sacrifices, the
  295. 16:51courage and the conviction and investment that they made,
  296. 16:53people like me, and my lovely wife Maria can just breeze on
  297. 16:57in. But here's the thing, the assaults and the efforts to to
  298. 17:01curtail those liberties are just as viable, if not
  299. 17:05even more today so we must remain vigilant if you are listening to this program and I know
  300. 17:11that lots of you who already are discipling your children at the home and homeschooling,
  301. 17:15you need to join HSLDA because it is the premier ministry available to you to make sure that
  302. 17:21you are able to secure and advance your freedoms and some of you who are listening are even
  303. 17:26second generation homeschoolers.
  304. 17:28It is because of your parents and grandparents investments that you're able to do what you
  305. 17:31do well if you want to make sure that your children and Lord willing your grandchildren
  306. 17:35have the freedoms that you enjoy you need to support HSLDA right now HSLDA.org is the website
  307. 17:43where you need to go full disclosure most of you know I'm on the board for HSLDA and
  308. 17:47I'm grateful to God to be able to serve that capacity and the woman seated to my right is
  309. 17:51also on the HSLDA board it is none other than the host of the profound stirring purifier
  310. 18:01Heidi St John podcast. It is the Heidi St John ladies and gentlemen, please join me and welcome
  311. 18:06her to the program. That was ridiculous. In a good way. The best way possible. It was ridiculous.
  312. 18:14I agree. Having me. It's good to see you. Really good to see you. Good to see you. Thank you
  313. 18:21for being here. We had some conversations earlier today and I wanted to continue those
  314. 18:25conversations on the air because you heard what I was saying just now. I'm off the scene
  315. 18:29show darkness not an affirmative force, it merely reoccupies the space that is
  316. 18:33vacated by the light. The simple reality is in our nation where we've been able
  317. 18:36to inherit the freest most successful country in human history that darkness
  318. 18:42can only advance with our consent. That's right and we're about to give it up.
  319. 18:45We're about to give it up. This is an amazing time to be an
  320. 18:49American. It's an amazing time to be a Christian. I've never seen more cowardice
  321. 18:52in our pulpits than I'm witnessing right now as I traverse around the country
  322. 18:56speaking to Christians and I said, you know, at a church I was at just a couple of
  323. 19:01days ago in Vero Beach, Florida. I said that what's happened is the C in the 501c3
  324. 19:06has began to stand for coward. It's turned our pastors and our nonprofit leaders
  325. 19:12into cowards and they hide behind the 501c3 and they'll hide behind it and they'll
  326. 19:16say, hey, you know, I'm sorry we're a nonprofit we're not allowed to talk about
  327. 19:19that stuff, which isn't true. No, by the way, not true. You know, the left is
  328. 19:24taken the lie of separation of church and state and infused it into the church and into our
  329. 19:28everyday conversations and it's going to take courage. I want to see that C and 501 C 3 stand
  330. 19:34for courage again. Yeah. Well, that really, really makes me angry because if you're a church,
  331. 19:39you do not have an obligation to require to file or organize your assembly as a 501 C 3
  332. 19:46organization by virtue of being a church, you are inherently exempt from federal taxation.
  333. 19:50A lot of people don't know that.
  334. 19:51It's on the IRS is on website.
  335. 19:54You know, it's on the website.
  336. 19:55I'll post a link to it in the show notes.
  337. 19:57I'm not kidding.
  338. 19:57I didn't even know that.
  339. 19:58I've been talking about this for years, not even know that.
  340. 20:00Oh, that's a fact.
  341. 20:01You know, churches do not have to organize
  342. 20:02as a 501c3 federally.
  343. 20:04Yeah, it texts that to me, brother.
  344. 20:05I'm gonna light it up.
  345. 20:07Yeah, I'll text it to you.
  346. 20:08I have it.
  347. 20:09I keep it at the ready because a lot of people
  348. 20:10say what you just said.
  349. 20:11I didn't know that.
  350. 20:12The 501c3 racket was created.
  351. 20:14Yeah, I'll send it to you right now.
  352. 20:15It's a racket.
  353. 20:16Was created as a vehicle to hinder.
  354. 20:20the church. Well, it's worked. Yeah, it's worked very well. It's absolutely worked.
  355. 20:23Well, it worked. And the number of pastors, I mean, you know this in 2022, I ran for Congress
  356. 20:29in Washington State's Third Congressional District. And I approached probably roughly 200 pastors to
  357. 20:35say, listen, you know, Christian homeschool mom, I live in your neck of the woods, I want to represent
  358. 20:40the values that made this nation the greatest nation on the face of the earth. I want to take
  359. 20:44those values to Congress. I want to represent them. And I would love the opportunity to speak to
  360. 20:48your church to stand in the entryway to just shake hands with your parishioners, to be able
  361. 20:54to hand out a leaflet, to say who I am and please come out and vote.
  362. 20:57Do you know how many of those pastors replied to me in the affirmative out of 200?
  363. 21:02No, I don't know.
  364. 21:03Two.
  365. 21:05Two.
  366. 21:06And I'm here to tell you Abraham, if the church would show up, if God's people would actually
  367. 21:11be the salt and light that He's called us to be, we would win.
  368. 21:15And we wouldn't just win marginally.
  369. 21:18We'd win in a landslide.
  370. 21:19If we took the principles of God's word with us into the ballot box, we'd win.
  371. 21:26We'd win.
  372. 21:28That is so true.
  373. 21:30It is noteworthy.
  374. 21:31Look in the book of Revelation.
  375. 21:32I know you've read this.
  376. 21:34I've taught my own children this when the Lord lists those who have earned, qualified themselves
  377. 21:40for the Lake of Fire.
  378. 21:41And not only is it included in the list, but at the very front of the list, the first category
  379. 21:46of people who qualify for the lake of fire are the cowards.
  380. 21:49Cowardess.
  381. 21:50The Cowardly, which is a contrast.
  382. 21:54This one of the major features of the scripture explains is a characteristic of being filled
  383. 21:58with the spirit of God is boldness.
  384. 22:00But the righteous are as cowardly as lions.
  385. 22:03They're the waztawizard of us.
  386. 22:05Righteous are as bold as the lion.
  387. 22:09There is a boldness that is produced there.
  388. 22:11And what's happening, what you're describing seems to fit this very well instead of being
  389. 22:16something like we're being lightly salted. Boy. That'll preach, you know, the Bible says in Psalm
  390. 22:22107 verse 4, let the redeemed of the Lord say so. We are called to have a faith that speaks.
  391. 22:30Our faith should speak. It should speak in every area of our lives. And yet we see Christians
  392. 22:34who are saying, I'm just going to stay here behind the four walls of my church and make
  393. 22:37sure that I get, you know, I get on the rotation for the potluck on Sunday. And shame on us.
  394. 22:42I loved how you ended your last segment when you said we were born for this time in human history
  395. 22:48We've been appointed to live for such a time as this and God has us here on assignment
  396. 22:52The question is what is the assignment and will we show up? Yeah, absolutely
  397. 22:55So how do you sense you pose the question? What is the assignment? What will we show up?
  398. 23:01Consider the fact that the Lord could have allowed us to be born in any other nation. I could be very easy be you know Chinese
  399. 23:07He's drunk, drunk, joining Hamilton.
  400. 23:09That was a translation.
  401. 23:11That was a translation.
  402. 23:12That meant to, you know, I could very easily be
  403. 23:15South Sudan, you know, but the Lord allowed me
  404. 23:18to be a citizen of the United States of America.
  405. 23:21God, in the same text in Acts 17,
  406. 23:23not only were we born for the time that God has planted us in,
  407. 23:27but the fact that we live, where we live,
  408. 23:29is a feature of God's design likewise.
  409. 23:32The Lord has his remnant in every country, in every place.
  410. 23:34So full of the laws and the features,
  411. 23:39Article 4, Guarantee of Constitution,
  412. 23:40Republican from the government,
  413. 23:41God knew we would inherit that.
  414. 23:43Does the Lord expect anything less of us
  415. 23:45than the expected of people like the Apostle Paul,
  416. 23:47knowing his rights as a Roman citizen
  417. 23:50to advance the gospel than the Roman Empire?
  418. 23:52No, and Paul appealed to Rome as a Roman citizen.
  419. 23:55He didn't hide behind you.
  420. 23:56I'm a disciple of Jesus Christ.
  421. 23:58He didn't do that.
  422. 23:59He appealed to Rome as a Roman citizen.
  423. 24:01In the United States of America, we are Caesar.
  424. 24:04We have this incredible opportunity.
  425. 24:06And there are a lot of people in this country now
  426. 24:07who are sitting in the halls of Congress,
  427. 24:09who are sitting in the Senate,
  428. 24:10who would like to see those rights stripped from us.
  429. 24:13You and I were talking about this today,
  430. 24:15the Islamification of America.
  431. 24:16It's happening on our watch.
  432. 24:18We are watching people who literally hate this country,
  433. 24:21who Monday morning or shout in death to America,
  434. 24:24and Tuesday they're announcing a run for Congress.
  435. 24:27We gotta wake up, we gotta wake up.
  436. 24:28And this is where God's people can stand in the gap
  437. 24:31and say no, the Muslim faith is actually incompatible
  438. 24:35with the Constitution of the United States
  439. 24:37and the Constitution is not gonna defend itself.
  440. 24:39It's gonna take people who are willing and courageous
  441. 24:42and understand and honor and appreciate the sacrifices
  442. 24:47that were made so that you and I could live
  443. 24:49in the freest, most prosperous nation on the face of the earth.
  444. 24:52On balance, America has been a force for good
  445. 24:55around the country.
  446. 24:56What are you here coming out of our leftist universities
  447. 24:59and out of our high schools?
  448. 25:00America is just a bunch of colonizers.
  449. 25:01Oh, America is just this evil place.
  450. 25:03I'm sure you've heard Hassan Piker talk how he hates America.
  451. 25:06Who's Hassan Piker hanging out with?
  452. 25:09Al Sayed, he's hanging out with Mondani in New York.
  453. 25:11These people hate our country.
  454. 25:13And somehow, we become so blind that we've allowed
  455. 25:18this socialist mindset, this Islamist mindset,
  456. 25:22to take root in our country.
  457. 25:23It's a cancer, and the only way to get it out
  458. 25:25is if people who love the country and love God will show up.
  459. 25:29Funny you said that a little just shared on social media, my x-feed in particular.
  460. 25:35There was several Muslim clerics who were gathered and were speaking and explaining that Islam
  461. 25:41is not here in America to get along.
  462. 25:45No, they're not.
  463. 25:47So you rarely get this kind of candor.
  464. 25:49You know, sometimes, I won't say rarely, it doesn't often occur.
  465. 25:52But he said it was Islam's compromise that led to the Muslims losing Spain.
  466. 25:58He says that.
  467. 25:59He said, yeah, he said that because we compromised, that's why we lost Spain.
  468. 26:05So we're not, we're learning from that era.
  469. 26:07We're not here in America to go along to get along and not here to assimilate.
  470. 26:12Yeah, no, he said it because I'm a Muslim, I should be expected that I believe Islam is
  471. 26:18the best Islam is right.
  472. 26:20And yes, my goal is for America to become an Islamic nation.
  473. 26:23Yes.
  474. 26:24He said this explicitly.
  475. 26:25Yes, I want Sharia.
  476. 26:26Yes, I want Sharia.
  477. 26:28which makes me think about Abdul Al-Sayed because
  478. 26:32before he was running for the US Senate,
  479. 26:33he said himself likewise.
  480. 26:35He wants Sharia, but a few days ago
  481. 26:37in his interview with Jesse Waters on TV, he said,
  482. 26:39well, he's not trying to impose Sharia law
  483. 26:42on anybody.
  484. 26:43Should he believe him?
  485. 26:44No, he's a liar.
  486. 26:45He's a liar because he serves the prince of the darkness,
  487. 26:48the prince of the power of the air,
  488. 26:50who the Bible says is the father of lies.
  489. 26:52And so when someone doesn't serve the king of kings
  490. 26:54and the Lord of lords, then he's serving the evil one.
  491. 26:57And so we know that he's lying.
  492. 26:59And actually history tells us that he's lying.
  493. 27:01The Muslims are not here to assimilate and Islam.
  494. 27:05And we need to stop calling it a religion.
  495. 27:07Islam is not a religion.
  496. 27:08It is a political system of conquest.
  497. 27:10And everywhere that it has ever gone
  498. 27:12anywhere around the world,
  499. 27:14watch what's happening in Nigeria right now.
  500. 27:16Everywhere that Islam has taken root, people have died.
  501. 27:20They are not here to assimilate.
  502. 27:21They're not here so that we'll turn five times a day
  503. 27:24and bow toward Mecca.
  504. 27:25they're here to say either you convert to Islam or be killed.
  505. 27:29That's exactly what they're up to.
  506. 27:31Or pay the jigia for a little while.
  507. 27:32Yeah, pay a little tax and then we'll kill ya.
  508. 27:34Yeah.
  509. 27:34Yeah.
  510. 27:34And then we need to be clear about something.
  511. 27:36There's a reality of backslidden Muslims.
  512. 27:41And I said this all the time.
  513. 27:43I know quantitatively speaking, the majority of Muslims are not al-Qaeda
  514. 27:47ISIS terrorists, but it doesn't require a majority.
  515. 27:50The estimates are that there are five to six million Muslims in America.
  516. 27:54and the percentage of those who they determine
  517. 27:56called radicalized.
  518. 27:57And I even challenge that notion of radicalization
  519. 28:00because I think you need to be honest about
  520. 28:02whether or not the people who they deem is radicalized
  521. 28:04are they operating consistent with the teachings
  522. 28:08of the Quran, of the Hadith.
  523. 28:11Can they just call them nominal Muslims?
  524. 28:13Yeah, or are they-
  525. 28:15You might be a Muslim but you're not following the Hadiths
  526. 28:17you're not following Quran because if you were,
  527. 28:20then you and I are infidels and we should be killed
  528. 28:22for our faith.
  529. 28:23Yes, that's what they, that's what it's called.
  530. 28:25I mean, I'm sorry if people don't like it.
  531. 28:27That's the truth. Read the Quran, read the Hadiths,
  532. 28:29read how they treat women.
  533. 28:30Where are the feminists?
  534. 28:31I'd really like to know.
  535. 28:32I'd really like to know as we're watching the mutilation
  536. 28:36of young girls happening right here now in the United States,
  537. 28:39we watch how they treat their women.
  538. 28:41We watch how they view women in the public square women at all.
  539. 28:46And I gotta tell you, I am more concerned now
  540. 28:50than I have ever been.
  541. 28:51You and I both are friends with Rick Green
  542. 28:53and I was telling you last night at dinner
  543. 28:55that they recently had a close encounter
  544. 28:59with a radicalized Muslim group
  545. 29:01trying to buy a property right next door
  546. 29:03to Patriot Academy in Constitution City, Texas.
  547. 29:06These people are moving into the,
  548. 29:08what we consider to be very safe red places
  549. 29:11and they are establishing mosques.
  550. 29:13And believe me when I say when they establish
  551. 29:15these places of worship, they are claiming a territory.
  552. 29:18That's exactly what they're doing.
  553. 29:20And I think it's time for Christians and people,
  554. 29:22you don't even have to be a Christian
  555. 29:24to understand the history of Islam.
  556. 29:26And we need to have clear-eyed conversations
  557. 29:28about it, not apologize for it.
  558. 29:30This is the truth.
  559. 29:30Are there backslidden Muslims?
  560. 29:32Yes, are there backslidden Christians?
  561. 29:33You know, I know lots of Christians
  562. 29:35who don't adhere to the Bible, who are sleeping around
  563. 29:37and not training their children up to 11,
  564. 29:39follow Jesus Christ, but claim the name of Christ, right?
  565. 29:42So there are Muslims who claim to be Muslims,
  566. 29:44but they are nominal Muslims.
  567. 29:45But if you're gonna walk in the path of Allah,
  568. 29:48It's not gonna be pretty for anybody who's in your path that doesn't convert.
  569. 29:53Yeah.
  570. 29:54And I was gonna say when the concept of colonization comes up, I think it's a remarkable omission
  571. 30:00that Islam has never discussed in the context of colonization.
  572. 30:04It is without conquest and colonization, you don't get a Muslim North Africa.
  573. 30:10You don't get an andalus, an Islamic andalus.
  574. 30:14It is not a social political system because it's not confined to religion.
  575. 30:23It is a political system.
  576. 30:26You don't get the establishment of the caliphate, for example, without conquest and colonization.
  577. 30:33It does not happen.
  578. 30:34Well, that's Dearborn, Michigan.
  579. 30:36That's Dearborn, Michigan.
  580. 30:37It's conquest and now it's colonization.
  581. 30:39Well, no, first it's colonization and then it's conquest.
  582. 30:41And listen, these people are running openly on their Muslim ideology, they're running openly
  583. 30:49that they want to see Sharia take place in the United States.
  584. 30:53When these people say who they are, we should believe them.
  585. 30:55We should believe them.
  586. 30:56And I don't know.
  587. 30:57I don't know what the, I was having this conversation with Rick Green with Bill Federer
  588. 31:01just a couple of weeks ago.
  589. 31:02I don't really know what the solution is except for us to begin city by city and state
  590. 31:08by state taking back our uh... christian and our american tradition and saying if
  591. 31:14it if you're gonna yell death to america in one in one breath that you want to
  592. 31:18share the law
  593. 31:19bye bye
  594. 31:20mmm-hmm you know you you can revoke citizenship from these people can we not
  595. 31:25that absolutely can't we can it's it's not a question
  596. 31:29of what can be done the issue is do we have the
  597. 31:31will that the political courage because
  598. 31:34the united states of america just mentioned article for the u.s. constitution
  599. 31:37guarantees to every american citizen so let me unpack a couple things first
  600. 31:41things first the the ancient conversation about states' rights is really
  601. 31:44a misnomer because the only within the american system of governance
  602. 31:49the only entity with rights is the individual is the individual
  603. 31:53states have delegated powers well who delegates the power to the states
  604. 31:59the people the people article for the u.s. constitution guarantees to every
  605. 32:04citizen a constitutional Republican form of government. So any system of
  606. 32:10government that threatens that article for right is by nature inherently
  607. 32:14unconstitutional. Now do we have the political will to state clearly this
  608. 32:19system of social political supremacy that denies our constitution is incompatible
  609. 32:24with our constitution? Do we have the will to say so? I think we need to have more
  610. 32:28conversations about utilizing the freedoms that we have to articulate
  611. 32:31clearly know your system would subvert my Constitution would deprive me my wife my
  612. 32:36six children of their article for guaranteed of a constitutional Republican
  613. 32:40form of government our nation is not merely republic it's a constitutional
  614. 32:44republic what does that mean and what does it mean to preserve that freedom
  615. 32:48for our children and our children's children we need to have that conversation
  616. 32:52the feature-length documentary culture warrior Don Wildman in the battle for
  617. 33:04Decency, chronicles the life and ministry of Don Wildman.
  618. 33:08It takes you through the founding of the National Federation for Decency, what has become AFA.
  619. 33:13It's a call to stand firm for righteousness and shows how that resolve can make a huge
  620. 33:18difference in our world.
  621. 33:20If we lose this cultural war, we're going to have a hedonistic, humanistic society.

  623. 33:29You know the headlines can be discouraging.
  624. 33:31Every day we see increased hostility toward Israel
  625. 33:34and a growing hatred toward the Jewish people.
  626. 33:37Now is the time to stick with Israel, literally.

  634. 34:00The rise of socialism.
  635. 34:02This is David Wheaton, host of The Christian World View.
  636. 34:06Socialism has become mainstream in America.
  637. 34:09Political candidates representing the democratic socialists of America are winning elections
  638. 34:13across the country.
  639. 34:15Socialism is unbiblical because it makes the state God.
  640. 34:18Removes incentive to work, takes away private property, infringes on individual liberties,
  641. 34:24and because it has never led to human flourishing or worship of God, but rather human misery
  642. 34:29and rebellion against God.
  643. 34:32It's the spirit of Babel.
  644. 34:33Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven,
  645. 34:38and let us make for ourselves a name.
  646. 34:41Don't be deceived about socialism.
  647. 34:43Hear a most recent program on socialism at TheChristianWorldView.org, and then join us
  648. 34:49this weekend from another topic that will sharpen your worldview.

  651. 34:59Did you know that today a woman facing an unexpected pregnancy can order the abortion
  652. 35:04pill online?
  653. 35:05Often before anyone has the chance to tell her she's loved, she's not alone, and that
  654. 35:10there is hope.
  655. 35:12That's why you are needed right now.
  656. 35:15At pre-born network clinics, mothers receive compassionate care, practical support, and
  657. 35:20a free ultrasound.
  658. 35:22And when a mom sees and hears her baby's tiny heartbeat, everything can change.
  659. 35:27Over 80% of abortion vulnerable women choose life after seeing their baby on an ultrasound
  660. 35:33at a pre-born network clinic.
  661. 35:35They do an ultrasound.
  662. 35:37That's when everything changed.
  663. 35:39Because when I saw my baby and when I heard her heart be, that was it.
  664. 35:45Just $28 provides a life-saving ultrasound.
  665. 35:49Dial pound 250 and say the keyword baby.
  666. 35:53pound 250 baby or give securely at preborn.com slash AFR.
  667. 36:00The God Who Speaks is a powerful message on the authority of Scripture in the voices
  668. 36:04of some of the most respected theologians of our day.
  669. 36:06The most historic formula for the Christian Church has been this.
  670. 36:10When the Scripture speaks, God speaks.
  671. 36:13The God Who Speaks is a 90 minute documentary which can empower Christians to share our
  672. 36:17faith and defend the authenticity of the Bible available at thegodwhospeaks.org or visit

  674. 36:26A Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Common Terrets are available at eafr.net back to the
  675. 36:40Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
  676. 36:46Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here.
  677. 36:49My guest is host of the Heidi St. John podcast, a woman who's been contending on the front
  678. 36:55lines. Heidi St. John, thank you for being on the program here with me. Thanks for
  679. 37:00having me. I'm just waiting for you to announce a run for president. I was like,
  680. 37:04look, we're gonna have another Hamilton in the White House. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
  681. 37:09Let's go. Alright. Well, you heard it here. Now just kidding. I wanted to ask
  682. 37:16this question because I didn't intend for this to be kind of a Islam-centric
  683. 37:21conversation, but hey, we're here already. I was sharing with you before we came on
  684. 37:24the program just today there was an interview from the Michigan Attorney
  685. 37:27General. I have her name here. It escaped me from a Dana Nestle is her name. Dana
  686. 37:34Nestle is the Michigan Attorney General. She's a committed Democrat. However, she's
  687. 37:38Jewish. She interviewed Syed and asked the question, is there room in a Syed
  688. 37:47perception of the state of Michigan for Jews. In light of this conversation and
  689. 37:56the conversation ended with Dana Nessel offering her endorsement for Abdul Al-Sayed
  690. 38:03who is vehemently hostile to Israel and to Jewish people. Yet she offers him her
  691. 38:11endorsement. We're seeing an ascendancy of this proverbial bill.
  692. 38:15federal talks about it as well this red green alliance which i've explained our
  693. 38:19audience here that it is not a novel feature that red green alliance is
  694. 38:22literally with lead to the islamic revolution of iran it was
  695. 38:27perjure before the word iran actually is a transliteration from area and that's
  696. 38:31what to annihilate the jews
  697. 38:33what do people need to understand when they see wait a minute
  698. 38:38these marxis seem to walk lock and step with islamist
  699. 38:42in our country would be to understand about that well i mean they need to
  700. 38:45understand that you can't have the islamification of america without first
  701. 38:48becoming culturally marxist
  702. 38:50so that's what you saw
  703. 38:52in the attorney general you saw her uh... just bowing down and kiss in the ring
  704. 38:56because she has a feeling she's got to get feeling the rip the democrat the
  705. 39:00blue dot democrats are gone
  706. 39:02the democrat party of the nineteen sixies the democrat party that my grandparents
  707. 39:06understood and they weren't democrats but i i think i believe
  708. 39:10that there is absolutely, I mean actually if you went back,
  709. 39:13you know, 20, 30, 40 years, Republicans today
  710. 39:15are like the Democrats used to be.
  711. 39:16And the Republicans have really lost their footing too, right?
  712. 39:19And so we're sliding farther and farther and farther
  713. 39:21into cultural Marxism, even on the right.
  714. 39:25And I ran against Guy O'Nerran for Congress
  715. 39:27who I told many people was so far right that he was left.
  716. 39:30And so you see people who bench a period calls
  717. 39:32around the horseshoe right, they used to people on the left
  718. 39:34and somewhere in the middle are common sense people.
  719. 39:37Al-Sayed is not a common sense person.
  720. 39:39Alsaya doesn't care one wit about the Jews.
  721. 39:42Again, we talked about this earlier, these people are liars.
  722. 39:45And this woman is a perfect example of,
  723. 39:47I'm going to burn the forest down for the trees.
  724. 39:50And so the cognitive dissonance that we see happening
  725. 39:54on the left right now who are embracing ideologies
  726. 39:57that are absolutely opposed to the American way of life,
  727. 40:00opposed to our constitution up until five minutes ago,
  728. 40:03Abraham, we believed and we agreed that America
  729. 40:06was the greatest country on the face of the earth.
  730. 40:09Well, I still believe that.
  731. 40:09Right, we agreed, but as Democrats and Republicans,
  732. 40:12we agreed about this stuff.
  733. 40:14We don't agree anymore.
  734. 40:15We agreed that men are women and women are women.
  735. 40:17We do not agree anymore.
  736. 40:19The chasm between the two parties now,
  737. 40:22these two belief systems, these two platforms is so great.
  738. 40:25We're not talking about Republican versus Democrat anymore.
  739. 40:28We're actually talking about good versus evil,
  740. 40:30right versus wrong.
  741. 40:31There is so much evil in our political system right now,
  742. 40:35largely because Christians have abandoned the spear.
  743. 40:38We said, hey, politics is dirty.
  744. 40:40We don't belong in that separation of church and state.
  745. 40:42We're not allowed to talk about that.
  746. 40:43What's the one thing that you grew up hearing
  747. 40:45when you were a kid that we don't talk about it Thanksgiving?
  748. 40:48We don't talk about religion and we don't talk about politics.
  749. 40:50Except for Thanksgiving is nothing but religion and politics.
  750. 40:53And yet we were told, oh, you can't talk about those things.
  751. 40:55Christians don't do that in polite society.
  752. 40:57The fact that you have a Thanksgiving holiday
  753. 40:59is because of religion and politics.
  754. 41:00That's absolutely right.
  755. 41:01And so we've been brainwashed and led to believe
  756. 41:04but it's somehow as God's people,
  757. 41:06we don't belong in the political sphere.
  758. 41:08And pastors stopped talking about it,
  759. 41:10we stopped encouraging our people to vote.
  760. 41:12I don't know if I ever told you this,
  761. 41:13but my grandfather was a pastor.
  762. 41:15At a little of that.
  763. 41:16Yeah, at a little evangelical free church,
  764. 41:18just outside of Portland, Oregon,
  765. 41:19or as my friends in the South call it the gates of hell.
  766. 41:22Whatever.
  767. 41:22So just outside of Portland, Oregon.
  768. 41:25And so that's where I grew up.
  769. 41:27And my granddad took me campaigning
  770. 41:29in the 80s for Ronald Reagan.
  771. 41:31So my grandfather, a committed believer, a pastor,
  772. 41:36took me, his young granddaughter, door to door, door knocking,
  773. 41:40because they understood that's how you win elections.
  774. 41:42And he would say, my name's Dan Forsberg,
  775. 41:44and the pastor of West Haven Evangelical Free Church.
  776. 41:46This is my granddaughter, Heidi.
  777. 41:48And she'd like to say something to you.
  778. 41:50She'd like to say something to you.
  779. 41:51And I would say, hi, my name's Heidi.
  780. 41:53I'm here to talk to you about Ronald Reagan.
  781. 41:55He's running for president.
  782. 41:56And my granddad told me that as a Christian,
  783. 41:59I had an obligation, a duty to this country to pay attention to what was happening politically.
  784. 42:06He was the one who told me, Heidi, politics determines policy and policy shapes the nation.
  785. 42:11God's people should be in the policy making business.
  786. 42:15My granddad told me that as a pastor.
  787. 42:17What has happened to our pastors today?
  788. 42:19What has happened to God's people that we would pull ourselves out of the realm of politics
  789. 42:25and allow evil to fill the vacuum?
  790. 42:27but the very least people who are not discerning.
  791. 42:29And this takes me right back to what's happening in Michigan.
  792. 42:32How did we get Dearborn Mission in?
  793. 42:34How if Alsayed gets voted in
  794. 42:37to represent the great state of Michigan,
  795. 42:39it will be because God's people stayed home.
  796. 42:41That will be the only reason that it happens.
  797. 42:44It will be because God's people stayed home.
  798. 42:46Because I guarantee you, Alsayed and all the other Muslims
  799. 42:49who are running for office around the country
  800. 42:51are not there because they wanna get along
  801. 42:53with the Jewish population.
  802. 42:54They're not there because they wanna make sure
  803. 42:55that Christians have a voice in the House of Representatives.
  804. 42:59When they get in and we see this happening
  805. 43:01in communities all around the country,
  806. 43:03they will Islamify that community.
  807. 43:05And if you go against it, boy, I'll tell you what,
  808. 43:07look what's happening on the streets of London right now.
  809. 43:10The Europe is finished as far as I can tell.
  810. 43:13Unless something really amazing happens,
  811. 43:15Europe as we knew it is over.
  812. 43:18It's interesting because people like Al-Sayed
  813. 43:20will say things like nobody's seeking to assert
  814. 43:24and advanced Sharia one at the exact same time.
  815. 43:26And this is something I just found in my own research
  816. 43:28that there's something called the FIC council,
  817. 43:31the FIC Sharia council of North America, F-I-Q-H.
  818. 43:35And they are the council that kind of oversees mosques
  819. 43:41and imams in North America,
  820. 43:45and they just issue what they call a zakat.
  821. 43:47I'm sorry, they just issued a ruling concerning the zakat,
  822. 43:50which is the Muslim tithe.
  823. 43:52that says that you can collect money
  824. 43:54at the mosques
  825. 43:56so that you can fund campaigns
  826. 43:58for muslim candidates
  827. 43:59and their most immediate goal in the effort to is islamized united states of
  828. 44:03america
  829. 44:04is getting thirty new congress members
  830. 44:07muslim congress members elected
  831. 44:09to advance the cause of islam in
  832. 44:12north america well on their way
  833. 44:15they're well on their way in the it did that well you got the squad already you
  834. 44:17do and the other things horrifying about this is that conservators are showing up
  835. 44:21on average in the last in the last election, the turnout was averaging anywhere from 27 to 34
  836. 44:30percent conservative turnout. You know how you know the rate of percentage that Muslims are turning
  837. 44:35out to vote upwards of 90 percent upwards of 90 percent and then people whine and cry,
  838. 44:40I can't believe it. I can't believe you lost. Well, how about you get up off your couch and you go
  839. 44:44talk to your neighbor? How about you talk to your kids about voting? How about you talk to your
  840. 44:48church and your pastor and your communities and the place that you work? Can you talk about
  841. 44:52the differences between the things that we believe in. One is one would bring freedom
  842. 44:56and prosperity, the other would be slavery, the objectification of women. People say the
  843. 45:01feminism, we don't want to be objectified women, but yet they let men into women's sports.
  844. 45:07They're going to let the Muslims run for office and require, Kathy Hochl, the governor of New
  845. 45:12York, what in the world? What is wrong with you? What is wrong with you? I am, I mean,
  846. 45:19afraid is not the right word, horrified is a better word. I'm horrified at what we are allowing
  847. 45:25to take root in this country. Our founders would be, or they'd be turning in their graves
  848. 45:29that there was such a thing. Men bled and died so that we could be free and Islam would enslave.
  849. 45:35That's the bottom line.
  850. 45:38This is, I want to invite you to talk about this and I think it would resonate deeply having
  851. 45:44run for Congress yourself, one of the least attended elections in our country happened to
  852. 45:51be midterm elections, only to be seated by primary elections during the midterms.
  853. 45:57Lots of people complain about candidates and general elections, but they don't show up during
  854. 46:02primary elections.
  855. 46:03Yeah, you don't get the candidate you wanted in general because you didn't show up for
  856. 46:05the primary.
  857. 46:06That's the truth.
  858. 46:07Yeah.
  859. 46:08And that's what's happened election after election over time.
  860. 46:11That's led to where we are now.
  861. 46:12would you speak to the necessity of showing up during this midterm?
  862. 46:16I don't think there's ever been a more important midterm than we have now.
  863. 46:20If we lose, if Republicans lose control of you, the House or the Senate, I guarantee the impeachment
  864. 46:25hearings are going to begin, what they're trying to do is cripple President Trump.
  865. 46:29That really is the bottom line.
  866. 46:31They know they can't get much done.
  867. 46:32They're not going to be able to get any legislation passed.
  868. 46:34So the point is to cripple President Trump so that he can't continue with his agenda without
  869. 46:39being persecuted and tortured and followed all through the rest of his presidency.
  870. 46:44And the other thing that is really important for people to understand is to the left in this
  871. 46:49country, politics is religion, and they treat it that way.
  872. 46:52They treat it that way.
  873. 46:53They treat it like going to church.
  874. 46:55And it doesn't matter the messaging that you give as conservative as if people don't show
  875. 47:00up.
  876. 47:01Mike Ferris told me a long time ago that the surest way to lose was just not to show up to fight
  877. 47:06the battle.
  878. 47:07more and more Christians I'm finding and actually conservatives in general, I think they're tired.
  879. 47:11I think they want to win, right?
  880. 47:12And so when they don't win, they just go, oh, well, it's not worth it anyway.
  881. 47:16And you and I were talking about this before we started the show today that if they don't
  882. 47:19show up, the future of our country is hanging in the balance because guess what?
  883. 47:23The Muslims are going to show up.
  884. 47:25They're going to show up.
  885. 47:26I was just in Wilmington, North Carolina, and they've got a very important election coming
  886. 47:30up in this midterm as well.
  887. 47:32And most of those people in that room didn't even know that there was a Muslim man running
  888. 47:35for Congress in the seventh congressional district. They didn't even know. I was
  889. 47:40speaking in Vero Beach a couple days ago. I said, how many of you guys know who
  890. 47:43the president of the United States? Everybody raised their hand. How many of
  891. 47:45you guys know the vice president? Raise your hand. Secretary of War, raise your hand.
  892. 47:47You know, and I said, how many of you guys know who's sitting on your city
  893. 47:50council? One person. Yeah. One person. Our cities are not being ruined by the
  894. 47:57federal government. No. They're being ruined one paper cut at a time by people
  895. 48:02who are being elected to city councils who want to see things like Sheryl.
  896. 48:06Don't believe in male and female are the distinctions between the two of them who
  897. 48:10want to see parental rights stripped away from the parents whose kids are
  898. 48:13attending the broken woke disgusting public school system.
  899. 48:17This is happening on the local level.
  900. 48:19And when we say all politics is local, if people don't turn out and this means you
  901. 48:24got to, you got to do something.
  902. 48:25We're so, I mean Abraham, I'm very, as you can tell, I'm very frustrated.
  903. 48:28I saw this when I was running for Congress.
  904. 48:29We are the laziest generation of Americans ever to exist in this country.
  905. 48:33that we would forsake our sacred obligation, our duty to vote,
  906. 48:38and give it to people who hate this country
  907. 48:41and would like to see it upturned
  908. 48:42and turn into a communist nation
  909. 48:45is astonishing to me as someone who loves this country,
  910. 48:48as someone who loves it.
  911. 48:49It's one of the things that is the product
  912. 48:51of us having generational inheritors of freedom,
  913. 48:56that we haven't been the ones
  914. 48:58who've had the shed blood to secure it.
  915. 49:01And it's always a stark contrast.
  916. 49:03I, in an effort to maintain perspective in many ways,
  917. 49:07and also for a lot of different reasons,
  918. 49:09I watched things like immigrants who come to our country
  919. 49:13legally, and how, for things that many Americans take
  920. 49:16for granted like jury service, and the opportunity to vote,
  921. 49:20they look at these as highlights of existence.
  922. 49:23Like I didn't even know this, I learned recently
  923. 49:26that Cuba, which is an island that is a tropical island,
  924. 49:32that the Cuban citizens are not allowed to go to the beach.
  925. 49:35They cannot go to the beach.
  926. 49:36The beaches are exclusively limited to tourists,
  927. 49:40because the communist Cuban government
  928. 49:43is so deathly afraid of their citizens attempting
  929. 49:46to escape the island that they forcibly prohibit their citizens
  930. 49:50from going to the beach.
  931. 49:52a very dear friend of mine escaped from Cuba on a raft.
  932. 49:56And he tried the first time and was jailed.
  933. 50:01He tried the second time.
  934. 50:02Dailed for trying to leave.
  935. 50:03Jailed for trying to leave.
  936. 50:04He tried the second time and was picked up
  937. 50:07by the United States Coast Guard.
  938. 50:08And he said the best day of his life
  939. 50:09was when he set foot in Guantanamo Bay.
  940. 50:13Best day of his life.
  941. 50:14You can bet that guy shows up to vote.
  942. 50:16Yeah.
  943. 50:16You can bet he does.
  944. 50:17He was in Miami Beach not too long ago.
  945. 50:19I mean, this guy loves our country.
  946. 50:22like no one I've ever seen because he's experienced
  947. 50:24what it means to live in communism.
  948. 50:26And he walked down a section of Miami
  949. 50:29and they had pictures of communist dictators on there.
  950. 50:32And he started going into the stores and going,
  951. 50:34what are you guys doing?
  952. 50:35Yes.
  953. 50:35You don't like it here?
  954. 50:36Go back.
  955. 50:37Yes.
  956. 50:38You want to, you want to communist country,
  957. 50:39go to a communist country,
  958. 50:40but don't bring the filth of communism
  959. 50:42to the shores of the United States
  960. 50:43and expect us not to stand up against it.
  961. 50:45And yet that's what we're doing.
  962. 50:47Yeah.
  963. 50:48And when people don't vote, that's what we're gonna get.
  964. 50:51Midterms are vitally important and it requires a full-orbed investment.
  965. 50:58A lot of the battles that need to be fought, need to be fought during the primary stage
  966. 51:02and earlier areas, but we can't, we don't have the lawyers, we can't go back in time
  967. 51:08now, so what are we going to do now with what we have?
  968. 51:11And one of the major problems on the national level working is well, all the way down to
  969. 51:16the local level, but on the national level is the reality is much of what President Trump
  970. 51:20has done has been done by executive fiat. And it has not been established to made permanent
  971. 51:24via congressional action. But if you look back and I talk about Mr. Ice cream and Mr.
  972. 51:30Biden, you know, but a lot of the things during this administration was passed via congressional
  973. 51:34action. Whereas President Trump in his first term and his current term, most of what's
  974. 51:38been done domestically is a product of executive fiat, which will not be part of now. And if
  975. 51:44There is not a congressional basis to assert legislation that will be made permanent.
  976. 51:50We're going to see a repeat of what happened from 2016 to 2020.
  977. 51:54It'll just be done again from 2024 to 2028.
  978. 51:57Can't lose the midterms if we lose the midterms.
  979. 52:00We're going to lose America and I think that's really true.
  980. 52:02We got to vote like our lives depend on it because they do.
