0:00Darkness is not an affirmative force.
0:02It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
0:06This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
0:10It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite.
0:15Delivery 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.
0:23Even in this dark moment.
0:26Let's not miss our moment.
0:28and now the Hamilton Corner.
0:32And folks, welcome to another edition of the Hamilton Corner.
0:36I guess you can tell by my voice that I am not Abraham Hamilton III,
0:40but it is my honor to sit in the chair for him once again today.
0:45God bless each and every one of you.
0:46And thank you so much for your prayers, for your support,
0:50for your contributions as had chair Thon last week.
0:54And so very grateful for your generosity.
0:57we're going to continue to hold up the blood-stained banner. We're going to continue to
1:04proclaim the name of Jesus Christ without apology and the righteousness of God and his word without
1:11any equification. And we're going to win no matter what the forces of evil say, no matter how much
1:17noise they make, no matter how much chaos they try to create, we're going to win. We're going to win
1:24because really the battle is already won. Because the battle is really ultimately not ours, but the
1:29lords. Our job is to take to the battlefield. And you all have heard me say this about Jaha'as if
1:36that one of my favorite stories of the Bible, where Jaha'as if that sees the people of Mount
1:40Seir of the Ammonites, the Morbites, three armies, all coming out the little old children of Israel.
1:48And he sees them coming. He knows they're marching on the way. I mean, it is, it is D-day.
1:55And he looks toward heaven and says, Lord, we don't know what to do, but our eyes are on you.
2:01And we can say the same thing. There are times we really do not know what to do,
2:07but we just have to keep our eyes on God. And of course, God put in the heart of the
2:13prophet to prophesy to the people and to tell them that God was on their side
2:18on their side and God was going to stand up for them, but God gave them a specific instruction.
2:23He said, set yourselves. Remember that? You know what that means? That means take to the battle
2:31field and be prepared to fight. He said, but then stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.
2:41He didn't tell them, hey, you all can go home and go to sleep. I've got this. Oh, no, no, no, no,
2:49No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it doesn't work that way.
2:52He said, set yourselves, stand still.
2:55In other words, you take the step of faith
2:59by getting on the battlefield.
3:00You get into the fray.
3:03I'll take care of the rest.
3:05And I believe that, folks, with all my heart,
3:08that when we at our natural, by faith in God,
3:15he adds his super to our natural
3:18and gives us a supernatural result.
3:20I've seen it all too many times in my life.
3:24God is faithful.
3:27You know, in fact, I think this is the first time
3:28I've mentioned this, but my church and my ministry
3:33are hosting a, well, my ministry and stand
3:37are hosting a Jubilee for me,
3:40which 50 years of walking with God in December.
3:44Those of you who might hear this and you're living nearby,
3:47you're certainly welcome to come.
3:49We're going to have my first son in the ministry, the first person I licensed into the ministry
3:59after I became my self-esteem.
4:01Your pastor, Pastor Cecil Blythe is going to be speaking at our banquet on Saturday.
4:07And you will be speaking at two Sunday services.
4:10We have services at 9 and at 11.
4:14Our sanctuary does not hold that many people.
4:17And so we want to make sure we can accommodate as many as possible.
4:19So, but you, you are all invited, first come, first serve, of course, but you're all invited.
4:27Um, and we're going to have a wonderful time in the Lord.
4:30I said all that, not to, not to, to, to pat myself on the back, but to simply say, 50 years
4:38of walking with God.
4:40And I have never, ever, ever seen God fail.
4:47Never. You know, I used to say, if I were writing that song, we've come this far by faith leaning
4:53on the Lord, trusting in His holy word, He's never failed me yet. I would leave the yet out
4:58because yet implies, well, He might at some point, and that's not what the song right of
5:03that I'm sure, just, just probably a little lax with the language. But I think it's fair
5:09to say, He never failed me and He never will. And that's the truth of the matter. I had never
5:16seeing God feel I've said to people sometimes, somewhat jokingly, but with some truth to it,
5:22of course, you know, I've had no complaints about God, not a single one, not one. Now,
5:32they've been times and I didn't quite understand exactly how God was moving or when God was
5:37going to move or how things exactly were going to work out, but always maintain the
5:41the competency loved me and he would work it all out.
5:45Wasn't clear how.
5:47And at times I wasn't early in my ministry,
5:49particularly early in my walk with the Lord.
5:51I wasn't always mature about it.
5:53I did some writing and complaining,
5:55oh God, oh God, what are you gonna help me?
5:57What are you gonna, you know?
5:58I mean, I went through some of that.
6:00Don't do that anymore, thank God.
6:03But I did plenty of it earlier on,
6:06but I never doubted that God loved me
6:09and that God was looking out for me
6:11and that he was going to work it out.
6:12In fact, I could say I could remember at one point
6:15saying to the Lord when I was really in a very tough
6:19situation saying, Lord, I just can't take it anymore.
6:23I just can't take it anymore.
6:28And the crisis I was in went on for some weeks after that.
6:33But when it was finally over, the Lord said to me,
6:36I thought you couldn't take it anymore.
6:39Well, I did take some more, but God brought me through
6:42on the other side in victory.
6:46In fact, I've never shared this with you all,
6:49and I just feel led today to do that.
6:51So let me just tell you, when my wife and I,
6:57we were living in Boston, and in 1991,
7:01I will never forget it.
7:04God spoke to me and said, I am moving you from Boston.
7:08Now we had lived in Boston at that point for nearly 20 years, and God said, I am moving
7:16you.
7:18And you know, when God speaks tea, of course, again, he didn't speak to me in an audible voice,
7:23he didn't come sit in my living room, you know, but, but I knew in my heart that God
7:28has spoken to me.
7:30I knew it.
7:31It was, there's just no question about it.
7:33It was, it was with profound conviction.
7:36I knew it.
7:38Only one little thing.
7:39He didn't tell me where he was moving me to and I just said okay Lord
7:46And of course once God said something like that to you. You start to think about it
7:50No, well not where where's God gonna send me where God want me to go where am I?
7:56I got no answer
7:57You know, but I just thought about in one dirt and got no answer
8:04That went on folks for seven years
8:09seven years and
8:12And finally, God spoke to me,
8:15because what happened was I went to a meeting in Dallas, Texas.
8:20I'm pretty sure it was Dallas.
8:21Might have been Houston, but I'm pretty sure it was Dallas.
8:24Well, actually, you know what I think it might have been Houston.
8:29And this was a meeting I think sponsored
8:32by the Christian Coalition, but they were calling Christians
8:35together.
8:35And I think it might have even been a special call out
8:39to Black Christian, Black conservative leaders.
8:43And I was called to it, asked to invite it to come at least,
8:47so I went down and I spoke at the meeting.
8:50But I wasn't a speaker, but they gave an opportunity
8:53for people to be heard and I spoke up.
8:57Well afterwards, I got a call from the leaders
9:00of the Christian Coalition, Ralph Reed, Pat Roberts
9:04and wanted to talk to me.
9:06And so I flew down, talked to them, flew down
9:10from Massachusetts to Virginia, talked to them.
9:13And they say, hey, we love what you had to say.
9:16We'd like to know whether you'd consider
9:18being a spokesperson for the Christian coalition.
9:20I said, well, yeah, what would that entail?
9:24And they said, and we talked about moving to Virginia,
9:28but I didn't have any function to do that.
9:30And I said, well, I don't know that I'm ready
9:33to make a commitment like that.
9:35And well, that's fine.
9:38It's not a full-time job.
9:39What we want you to do is preach.
9:42We want you to be a spokesperson.
9:43We want you to speak to our various organizations around the country.
9:49We want you to go around the country and speak.
9:50So I basically was a preacher in residence.
9:52And that's what I started doing.
9:53That was the first time I began to have a national platform.
9:57That was the first time I started to be known by other people outside of my area.
10:03And I did that for a couple of years.
10:06But here's the thing.
10:08So in the course of doing that, I was asked to do that in 97.
10:13And in the course of doing this seven years later, I was going to Virginia for a meeting.
10:18I'd already been asked to do it.
10:20I was already under contract with them to do it.
10:22I wasn't employed.
10:23I didn't live there.
10:24But I would fly down to meet with Pat and meet with Ralph Reed and talk about strategy
10:29and talk about problems that they thought.
10:32Because now I went to these various places and I was going all over the country.
10:36When I went to these various places, they wanted me to understand what I was walking into because there were sometimes there were little problems that had to be addressed and so forth.
10:44But as I was down at one time walking through the concourse and the Lord spoke to me and said, I want you to come here.
10:52And I stopped right in the middle of the airport. I can feel it the day. I stopped and I knew that God was moving us to Virginia.
11:07That's how I ended up in Virginia.
11:08I didn't leave Massachusetts because I had problems
11:11and he leave Massachusetts because I wasn't afraid
11:13of anything or running from anything.
11:14I left Massachusetts because the Lord called me.
11:18And the way God moved me was literally miraculous,
11:23literally miraculous.
11:25Because what happened was, once the Lord spoke to me
11:28and my wife and I started to think about this
11:30and we had a daughter who was just finishing up high school,
11:33she was gonna finish up the following year.
11:35and we didn't want to pull her out of high school and have her go to a new high school for the last
11:39year of her life. And she was going to Christian school and made friends there and so forth. So I
11:44said, well, let's plan to do it at the end of next year. And I said, well, Lord, you're calling us to
11:49Virginia and God called me specifically to Planet Church in Chesapeake, Virginia. And I said, we will
11:55we will do it Lord. And now only one thing we need resources to do this because I wasn't working for a
12:02a full time job and the job for the Christian coalition to dry it up.
12:07I had a man call me as we were thinking and praying about how we were going to make this
12:11move.
12:12I had a man call me who had given me, folks I am not exaggerating, he had given a hundred
12:19dollars to the church, a hundred dollars, and he called me, said, hey, I want to meet him.
12:24I mean, I knew him, but we weren't close friends or anything.
12:27So I want to meet with you.
12:28I said, okay.
12:30So my wife and I arranged to meet, have dinner with him and his wife.
12:36And sat down, he said, listen, I've been watching you for a long time and I really appreciate
12:40what you do and the stand that you take.
12:42And I want to help you.
12:44I want to be a financial blessing to you.
12:47And I said, well, I said, well, I sure do appreciate that.
12:52And I said, what did you have in mind?
12:55He said, well, I just want to support you in continuing to do what you're doing, but maybe
12:59expanded, maybe create your own 501c3, which I already had.
13:05Um, and, uh, he said, so would a hundred thousand dollars get you started?
13:16Um, yeah, sure.
13:19So this was, this was back in 1997.
13:22So I mean, my goodness, folks, that's, that's 30 years ago.
13:27Uh, so it was worth a whole lot more than it is now.
13:29And I said, well, look, then I thought, you know what?
13:34I said, I really do appreciate that.
13:37I said, but I have to be honest with you.
13:39I said, I am not planning to stay in Massachusetts.
13:42I said, I'm planning to, we are planning to move to Virginia.
13:46And I think at that point, it was already 1998.
13:49And I said, this summer, it is our plan to move to Virginia.
13:53And I have a clue how we're gonna get that done,
13:55but I just knew this is what God had called us.
13:57Do we gonna get done somehow?
13:58And he said to me, he said, oh, that doesn't matter.
14:01He said, with computers and whatnot today,
14:04he said, you, doesn't matter where you live.
14:06He said, your ministry is national anyway.
14:08He said, in fact, I'll pay the cost of your move.
14:16Now folks, let me tell you something.
14:19When God says, set yourself stand still
14:21and see the salvation of the Lord.
14:23You know what he means?
14:24He says, you just position yourself
14:25to be obedient to me.
14:27And I'll take care of the rest.
14:30And he did.
14:32I mean, that was it.
14:33We just, I mean, just, just miraculously moved us
14:39and did with us what we couldn't do for ourselves.
14:41This is Bishop E.W. Jackson
14:42and for Abraham Hamilton the third,
14:43standby will be back in just a moment.

15:24Lied into the darkness. This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
15:42This is Bishop E.W. Jackson and for Abraham Hamilton the third. Now folks I didn't say any
15:46of that of course to brag on myself because I couldn't have engineered that if I tried.
15:50I'm just not that smart. But God knew exactly what he was doing. And if I'd been looking
15:57for somebody to ask for that kind of money.
16:00I wouldn't have started with this guy because he had never shown that level of interest
16:05in anything I was doing.
16:07A hundred bucks was all I could ever remember him giving that he gave to the church.
16:12That was it.
16:15But it's simply to say when you are seeking to be obedient to God, God is going to work
16:22it out.
16:23Now, this stuff we're going through in our country right now, sharing with you yesterday,
16:29These folks, these socialists, these atheists, these secularists, don't kid yourselves, folks.
16:37They don't just hate President Trump.
16:39They do hate him, but they don't just hate him.
16:43They don't just hate these ICE agents that they're attacking every chance they get.
16:47They do hate them.
16:49But I'm telling you, folks, the people they hate the most of you and me, because they
16:54hate the people who are responsible for upholding voting in, for example, people like President
17:01Trump supporting ICE officers. We are the deplorables. We are the garbage. We're the flyover people.
17:10We're the stupid people, you see. And we're in the way because we keep voting for people like Donald
17:20Trump. We keep supporting institutions like ICE and like our police officers. We keep demanding
17:27fairness and no censorship in our media.
17:31We keep demanding balance in our universities.
17:34We keep bringing up God and the Bible
17:38and our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
17:42Oh, hey, don't, I mean,
17:45I don't know how much more strongly I am able to state it.
17:55I guess I'm taking a little walk down memory lane
17:57these days.
17:5850 years of walking with the Lord. And I think the Holy Spirit has led me to share these stories
18:03and I hope they are an encouragement to you. But I remember when I ran for Lieutenant Governor and
18:09I had never experienced anything like that before because when I won the nomination,
18:14the media just descended on me. I mean, they descended on me and I'd never experienced anything
18:20like that before. And, you know, the things that President Trump deals with every single day
18:26with the media just question after question after question after question of course none
18:29of them are asked to elicit information they are all for the most part most of them are
18:33being asked because they want to somehow hurt President Trump and hoping that he'll say
18:39something that they can find something that they can use to hurt him you know they really
18:45are attack dogs they really are emvultures but I didn't understand that then believe it
18:51not. I mean, in 2012, when I first ran in 2013, when I won the nomination, I didn't understand
18:58any of that. And I had an aide pull me aside, and I will never forget him. He did many things
19:05for me. He's a great, great young man who very, very faithful and very competent. But he pulled
19:13me aside one time because he could see that I didn't quite get what was going on. I was
19:19little puzzled by it. And he said to me, I think there's something
19:23that you don't understand. And I said, what's that? He said, you
19:29don't understand these media people hate you. They don't just
19:34disagree with you. They're not just trying to listen information.
19:38They hate you, because you represent an existential threat
19:45to everything they want. And it kind of stunned me. It really
19:51did. I, because I just never thought of it in those terms. But then after he said that,
19:57I started to think back on what minor interactions I'd had with the media before. And I remembered
20:05back in Boston when I took a stand against bussing, for example. And there were, there
20:13were two anchors of man and woman who were married, Net and Chet and Natalie Jacobson.
20:19That was their names, Chet and Natalie Jacobson.
20:23I ended up interviewing with them because I was the only prominent minister, at least,
20:30certainly the only black minister who actually took a stand against busing because I thought,
20:35how in the world can it possibly help black children to be bused into a poor white neighborhood,
20:42which was what South Boston pretty much was, with people who are hostile to their being
20:47there in the first place.
20:49How in the world is that going to improve their educational quality?
20:53It didn't make any sense to me then.
20:55It doesn't make any sense to me now.
20:57And by the way, it was an abject failure.
21:00But of course, I stood out because I was the only voice saying, this doesn't make sense.
21:05And we shouldn't be doing it to these children.
21:07And it's not going to improve their education.
21:09And all it does is set people up and put people at odds and against each other.
21:14And I just, I just denounced it.
21:17Well, they wanted to interview me because it was this crazy black man who's got the nerve to be against force bussing and
21:25It was forced because even the black parents didn't want their children being bust into that but that was the order of the court
21:32um and I
21:36Remember thinking why are they so hostile to me? Why? Why are they?
21:42You know, I cuz it's just really I thought you know reporters there. They're just neutral people. They're trying to get information
21:49Yeah, I know you I know what you're thinking. Well, you really were naive weren't you? I was I really was and I did not understand their hostility. I mean, you know, I'm a young guy.
22:03I'm pastoring. I love everybody and I figured everybody loves me right? I mean, what's not to love right?
22:15But they were vicious with me and I just thought,
22:21what, wait a minute, what am I missing?
22:24And when he said that, it hit me that these people hate,
22:30these leftists hate anybody who does not subscribe
22:36to their agenda, they hate them.
22:40Now I know I hear people say, well, you know,
22:41I've been friends with this liberal,
22:43I'm friends with that liberal.
22:44Well, you know, look, there are exceptions to every rule, right?
22:48And, you know, there may be cases in which people get to know somebody personally, and
22:52then that sort of transcends the hatred that they have with their ideology.
22:56But just think about some of the advice that we've been hearing coming from the left, which
23:01is, you know, therapists telling people, you know, you may have to cut your parents off.
23:05You may have to cut your family off.
23:07Don't go to that Thanksgiving dinner.
23:08If you know there are people there who voted for Trump, I mean, which just goes to show
23:13They're going to even cut off your own family because they don't subscribe to your worldview.
23:26Now, that's what we're dealing with folks. This is not, again, this is not just politics. This is a
23:34spirit. This is a demonic infiltration because that's Satan's raison d'etre hatred lies hatred
23:46division, that's what he does. That's what he knows. Ilhan Omar, for example, you're sure you are heard
23:55that she had her home raided by the Department of Homeland Security. She's being investigated by the
24:03FBI potentially for naturalization fraud, which is very, very serious, meaning that she may have
24:09lied in order to obtain citizenship. And apparently, one of the allegations is now she's innocent to
24:16proven guilty. I'm not saying she did these things. I'm just saying that these are allegations
24:20against her right now that she may have lied about her age in order to obtain virtually automatic
24:26citizenship when her father obtained his citizenship because as a minor child of his,
24:31she would have been entitled to basically piggyback on his citizenship if she were actually 17 and not
24:3918 when he got his citizenship and she got hers, she would have, if she were 18 and not 17, she would
24:46have lied. And she would have basically circumvented that the naturalization process that she as an adult
24:56would have had to go through. So she cheated. If the allegation is true, if the allegation is true.
25:05So that's the, that's the allegation against her. And of course, they're also investigating
25:10the strange appearance and disappearance of about $30 million in her assets.
25:16I mean, how do you make a mistake that one moment you're worth $30 million and then suddenly,
25:22you know, you're worth, I don't know what it is, but a very, very, very small fraction of that.
25:30So there are a lot of unanswered questions here, but here's the thing that I want to point out about
25:35her. She is part of the problem and she is one of the reasons why we've got so many people
25:42hating this country because people like her people have influenced, she hates America.
25:46I mean, she said so. She said she's here to pursue the interests of Somalia. She said
25:51America is one of the worst countries on Earth. In fact, I think she actually said America
25:57should be one of the best and it's the worst country on Earth. I mean, for somebody coming
26:03from Somalia, that really takes some hutspa. That takes a lot of
26:09goal to make a statement like that. But yet that's what she said
26:13because again, you see, she hates what our country represents.
26:19You know, why people like this want to be citizens here? Of
26:22course, it defies rational thought. But here's what we know.
26:29There's certainly not here to build on the constitutional
26:32republic that our founders have given us through God, they're here to destroy it.
26:38I mean, they'll take whatever they can get from that, from the ashes that they leave.
26:46But their job is not to strengthen our constitutional republic.
26:50Their job is to destroy it.
26:51Their mission, their reason for being is to destroy what we've got, to turn it into a
27:00socialist dystopia.
27:01Ethiopia.
27:03You know, they would call it, of course, a paradise because they'll be in charge.
27:10As you may have heard me say, Satan was living in Lucifer, living in the perfect environment,
27:16heaven, perfect, absolutely perfect, unstained in any way.
27:23What in the world was his problem?
27:27I'll tell you what it was, that he didn't run it, that he wasn't in charge, that he had
27:36to bow to God, and he wanted to bow to no one.
27:43He said John Milton put in his lips the words, he's not found in the Bible, but I think they
27:49capture the attitude of Satan in Paradise Lost, which is, where he says Satan says,
27:57I'd rather, I'd rather rain in hell than serve in heaven.
28:04That's his attitude.
28:05And that's the attitude of the left.
28:07They'd rather turn America into a hellacious nation
28:11than to serve, live as servants, not rulers,
28:15but servants in our constitutional republic.
28:19Psalm 9 17 says, the wicked shall be turned into hell
28:22and all the nations that forget God.
28:27And that's what they want.
28:28they want us to forget God, get him out of the picture.
28:32Get those 10 commandments down.
28:35Stop that Bible reading.
28:36Stop that prayer.
28:38Don't mention the name of Jesus.
28:40We don't need that.
28:44Yeah, that's what they want.
28:46And they hate us because we're in the way.
28:49Because we're singing praises to his name
28:52and we're lifting up the name of Jesus.
28:55And we're claiming our country as a Christian country.
28:59I mean, to say that is to really scrape your fingernails across glass in their hearing, but
29:09it's still the truth.
29:12And Jesus said, you just know the truth, the truth shall make you free.
29:15So Ilhan Omar is in trouble right now.
29:18If these allegations prove to be true, not only could she lose her freedom, lose her office,
29:24but she could lose her citizenship.
29:26And I'm sure you all have heard me say, but if you haven't, let me say it now for the record.
29:32I believe that every naturalized citizen should be on probation.
29:36And I think the period of probation ought to be for the rest of your natural life.
29:43In other words, your citizenship is not secure here until you prove for a lifetime that you
29:48really are here to be a faithful, loyal citizen of the United States of America, this constitutional
29:56republic.
29:58And when you get here and you've been naturalized and you start saying, you hate America and
30:04America's the worst country in the world and America's a racist country and America's a white supremacist country and
30:11And all of that now you got you've certainly got got God giving right to say that
30:15But I tell you what you don't have you have a God giving right to bring that from somewhere else and come here and do it
30:21You don't have the right to do that. That's a privilege that we give you
30:25You can go back to where you came from and say that keep saying it
30:29But you don't necessarily have the right to say it here
30:32I know once you become an American citizen, you do, but if you're an American citizen,
30:36illegitimately, and as far as I'm concerned, everything else is illegitimate as well.
30:41You are appropriating things that don't really belong to you.
30:46So we will see how all of that goes.
30:49But likewise, the attacks on ice.
30:52I mean, Zorran Mamdani, defending this thug who was arrested by ICE, the man as a long-term
31:06long rap sheet Oscar Bell Gao, 28 years old Dominican Republic, long rap sheet guilty of
31:16grand larceny, and a number of other crimes of various kinds, including the sale of control
31:24substances. So he's a drug dealer to boot. A member of this gang, I think they're called
31:33the uh, the Talitarios and this guy's walking as free as a bird.
31:43They finally catch up with him and detain him and, and Mayor
31:48Mom, Donnie has a coniption.
31:51You know what?
31:52Because they really hate the safety and security of the American
31:55people they want to do everything they can to undermine it.
31:58This is Bishop E. W. Jackson here on the Hamilton corner back in just a moment.
32:30Hello.
32:30I'm Abraham Hamilton.
33:11on American Family Radio.
33:15So Oscar Belgau, this 28 year old with a long rap sheet, who has finally been detained by
33:22ICE, for whom his freedom was pleaded by none other than the mayor of New York, Mayor Zoron
33:31Mamndani.
33:33This man is now where he should be behind bars and is about to be deported.
33:39believe it or not, they're having protests, protests for this guy.
33:44I mean, again, it's the George Floyd phenomenon.
33:48If you are somehow a victim of law enforcement, even though you may have
33:54yourself taken action and engaged in behavior that brought you into
34:00confrontation with law enforcement, you were nevertheless declared a saint in
34:05the minds of these leftists.
34:06And we ought to, you know, we ought to be lionizing you and praising you and supporting you.
34:11And I mean, this, this, this gang that this guy belongs to, they are known for attacking
34:21people with machetes.
34:25And yet he's got people protesting for his, his liberty.
34:31Well, I'm sure you saw this police officer in New York City police officer off duty, attacked
34:37by two illegal aliens stabbed the young man and he's a young man looked to me like he might
34:45be in his late 20s or early 30s maybe it's only been within maybe early 30s it's been what
34:50and by pd I think for 10 years stabbed him 10 times almost killed him almost killed him
35:01and he said basically they run a reporter asking what was he thinking you know after being stabbed
35:07that way. He said, I was thinking based upon my experience, anybody who loses as much blood
35:13as I'm losing now, doesn't live. He said, so my thought was, I've got to slow myself down.
35:20I've got to be still. I've got to do is do everything in my power to slow the loss of
35:26blood. Because if I don't, I'm not going to make it. And the guys who the guys who attacked
35:38him once again, they're they're they're now victims, you know, we've got it, we got to defend them. And both of them, by the way, rap sheets, these guys look like they might be in the early 20s, may be late teens were probably early 20s.
35:52And already long rap sheets, for a variety of different crimes. And they don't belong here in the first place. And yet their release is being demanded. Oscar Belgale, you as you all know, ran into some ice officers vehicles with his
36:13own son in the back car. He intentionally rammed their vehicles, didn't give a care about
36:19what might happen to this young child in the car. But he needs to be released. No less
36:28than the mayor of New York pleaded with it for his release. Apparently, took it straight
36:34to the president of the United States and pleaded with the young man for the young man
36:37for two hours. President Trump was very gracious about it. More gracious, frankly, than I would
36:44have been. He said, you know, well, he's just a bad, he's the bad guy. And we just didn't,
36:49We didn't agree.
36:50I mean, what is there to disagree about?
36:54That this dangerous thug should be walking the streets of New York?
37:03You know, folks, once again, what all of this says to me is this election that's going to
37:11be held on the 1st Tuesday of November is not about Democrat versus Republican.
37:17This is about good versus evil.
37:19This is about right versus wrong.
37:22This is about sanity versus insanity, because wanting to release these people into the streets
37:32knowing that they have hurt people will hurt more people and the people they likely hurt
37:39will be American citizens.
37:42And to want them sent back into the streets so that they can do more harm, you can't define
37:49that as anything but insane.
37:51And I don't mean again, not mentally insane, like they've lost touch with reality, but
38:00morally insane because they've completely lost touch with right and wrong.
38:04They are so filled with hatred for our country, hatred for you and me as the Americans who uphold
38:12this country.
38:13Remember, the Constitution doesn't begin.
38:14I Donald Trump, it begins with the people.
38:18See, I remember Donald Trump is going to pass from the scene, but the American people are
38:24still going to be here. And it is ultimately going to be up to us to uphold the principles
38:29and the ideals, the foundations upon which the greatest nation on earth was built. I may
38:38have shared this with you all before, but it's worth sharing again. I was going to visit
38:46a friend outside of DC and about an hour and a half ride to get there. And the young
38:50man driving me was from Uganda. Yeah, having that back
38:54center, I knew he wasn't born in this country. And I asked him
38:59where he was from. He told me Uganda. And I said, well, how
39:01are things in Uganda? He just kind of shook his head. And he
39:05said, bad, bad. I said, well, what's going on? He said, we have a
39:11president who has been in office 40 years. And the only people
39:18benefiting are him and his children. The country is poor, but of course he is very rich. And you dare
39:29not challenge him. Elections are completely rigged. He controls the outcome. And I thought to myself
39:40as so many people like to describe themselves as African Americans, I thought to myself,
39:47I am an American and I wouldn't want to trade places with anybody having to deal with all
39:55that stuff that's going on in Africa right now.
39:57And by the way, folks, you all know that's not the exception.
40:02That's the rule.
40:05Most African countries are basket cases.
40:08You know, I don't know whether I've shared this with you or not, but if I have, it is
40:16worth repeating.
40:17I remember some politician.
40:19I don't know his name.
40:21Remember the Congressional Black Caucus,
40:23but one of these days I'm gonna look up
40:25and refresh myself as to exactly what it was,
40:28but he said, I get up every morning in America.
40:31Wonder if I'm gonna be stopped wondering,
40:33if I'm gonna be stopped while driving black.
40:36I thought to myself, you don't need social justice.
40:41You need psychological therapy
40:43because I get up every morning grateful to God
40:46that I am born in the greatest nation on earth,
40:50that I get to freely choose what I want to do with my life,
40:54that I get to explore and to make progress and to work
41:01and to enjoy the benefits of my labor
41:05and to do things that are meaningful and purposeful
41:09and helpful.
41:12And I don't have the government breathing down my back,
41:14telling me, you can't say this, you can't think this,
41:16You can't go here.
41:18You can't go there.
41:20Remember friend of mine told me that he went to Russia
41:24when it was the Soviet Union.
41:25He said when he arrived there,
41:27expecting to do what people normally do,
41:31which is go find a hotel,
41:32because they weren't able to do that in advance,
41:34but they were gonna find a hotel.
41:35No, no, no, you don't find a hotel.
41:37You get assigned a hotel.
41:41As indicative of the way the society is controlled,
41:44everything and everybody is controlled by the state.
41:50I thank God that I don't live in a country like that.
41:54Like what this Ugandan described of his country
42:01and every single one of us,
42:02we ought to have attitudes of gratitude, not grievance.
42:07And the grievance industry is constantly trying to convince us
42:11that we have everything to be unhappy about,
42:14we have everything to be angry about,
42:15We have everything to be bitter about when the fact that the matter is we have a whole
42:22lot of blessings to be grateful about.
42:27That's the way we ought to live our lives.
42:29In fact, that ought to be a primary motivation because I really believe that when God blesses
42:38you, he expects you to be a steward of that blessing.
42:43And God has blessed us with this great country.
42:46And I really believe that God's expectation for us is that we be stewards.
42:49I was talking to Rick Green, founder of Patriot Academy,
42:54talking to him on a program earlier.
42:56And he said something that I heard, not too long ago,
43:01in fact, I might have heard it first from him.
43:03He might have been the first person to apply this analogy.
43:05He said, but not voting, not engaging,
43:09not caring about what happens to the moral and cultural atmosphere
43:14of your country is like taking your talent
43:18and burying it in the ground.
43:22And I thought, and that is the perfect analogy.
43:26And you know what the Lord said to the servant
43:29who buried the one talent that he got, buried it in the ground.
43:33Of course, I believe our country represents far more.
43:36It's the equivalent of burying the five talents in the ground.
43:41But he said to him, you wicked and slothful servant.
43:47You should have at least put my money to usury.
43:50you should have at least had something to show for it when I came back.
43:57And I really believe that God expects us to make this country better,
44:01not allow it to go to hell.
44:04And again, I don't mean that profoundly. I mean that spiritually, not allow it as,
44:08as, as Psalm 9 17 says, I quoted, uh, the wicked shall be turned into hell and
44:14all the nations that forget God, that, that God does not expect us to allow our
44:18country to turn into hell expects us to make our country as heavenly as we can.
44:27Now it'll never be heaven, but that's what awaits us. And in the meantime, we do what we can to make it
44:35as heaven-like as possible. And that means voting for people who reflect those godly values and
44:43voting against those people who do not voting for policies that reflect those values and voting
44:47against those policies that do not. For example, for those of you in Virginia, for those of you who
44:53are not, I hope you will understand the relevance because it's coming to you, believe me. But
44:59the demon crafts here have put two referenda on the on the ballot, one, to basically create
45:07unrestricted, unfettered killing of unborn babies. And by the way, no restrictions on
45:14minors, and no protections of parental rights with regard to a minor child that might be
45:20impregnated and sometimes, of course, we know in many cases, often impregnated by an older
45:26man or by an adult who then manipulates the child to get the abortion so that the adult
45:32will be protected from statutory rate.
45:38But this referendum doesn't acknowledge parental authority at all.
45:43We got to vote against that.
45:46And another one that enshrines same-sex-so-called marriage, I say so-called because there's no
45:51such thing as the same sex marriage, two men can't get married, two women can't get married.
45:56Now they can enter into some kind of contractual relationship.
45:59They can call it what they want, but it's not a marriage because a marriage is a sacred covenant
46:05between one man and one woman, period.
46:09That's it.
46:10That's all.
46:11It's not between one man and the transgender.
46:13It's not between two women.
46:15It's not between two men.
46:16It's not between one woman and the transgender.
46:18No.
46:19It's between one man and one woman.
46:21biologically and genetically two separate genders, male and female. That's all. But oh, no, that
46:30they want to put in the Constitution the right so called and then want to equate it to
46:36interracial marriage and the lies they just keep on coming. And we've got to stand up for
46:45truth. We got to do it in every avenue in every circumstance, but we've got especially
46:51We have to do it at the ballot box because if we don't, just this truth sets us free lies,
47:03put us and everybody captured by them in bondage.
47:10And Jesus said he came to set the captives free, not put the free into bondage.
47:18So we've got a responsibility.
47:23I know we're going to live up to it.
47:26And I believe that God is going to do his part because he always does.
47:31I said, he is we may we might consider ourselves faithful, but he is ever faithful.
47:40Well, listen, this is Bishop E.W. Jackson in the Abraham Hamilton III here on the Hamilton
47:48Corner.
47:50Great talking with you again today.
47:52In the meantime, until we talk again, you know what to do, stand up, step up, speak up, refuse
47:57to back up, because we cannot be defeated if we will not quit because we are on God's
48:04side.
48:39The views and opinions expressed in this broadcast may not necessarily reflect those of the American
