  10. 0:28and now, the Hamilton Corner.
  11. 0:33Good evening, everybody.
  12. 0:34Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio.
  13. 0:38I am your host, Abraham Hamilton III.
  14. 0:41I am live in studio, do not adjust your speakers.
  15. 0:45I am back in studio glad to be here with you.
  16. 0:50I am joined by the corner contingent right across from me,
  17. 0:53my man, 100 grand, Mr. Bobby.
  18. 0:56and in the screening room
  19. 1:00our friendly neighborhood would have all it perpetually
  20. 1:02in recovery
  21. 1:04who will who leaps
  22. 1:05tall stacks of birch in the single bound
  23. 1:09none other than mr marty sparks lighten up the dark
  24. 1:11from there and i'm delighted to be in studio again with you
  25. 1:15and we're ready to rock and roll with the days edition of the program at this
  26. 1:18very moment many of you if not most of you
  27. 1:21are making your transition from your part-time jobs we can generate an income
  28. 1:25to your full time jobs where you cultivate an outcome.
  29. 1:27And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so
  30. 1:30with intentionality.
  31. 1:32Understand in the primacy that God places on family
  32. 1:36and welcoming his view to govern, to guard,
  33. 1:39and to God your engagement starting first and foremost
  34. 1:42in your homes.
  35. 1:44If God can grasp a hold of us in our homes,
  36. 1:47there's no question still what could happen in our society.
  37. 1:53It's amazing.
  38. 1:54So many things have transpired.
  39. 1:55I mean, you have the feds rating Elon Omar's home and what do you know?
  40. 2:00I guess it's not cool to marry your brother.
  41. 2:03Your what a, you shouldn't marry your what a nor should you probably take a seat in Congress
  42. 2:09under a false name.
  43. 2:11You know, under a false name got all kind of stuff that are trans that are transpiring
  44. 2:15that have that has transpired.
  45. 2:17but we can't take it all in one show so we have to take a few steps at a time. Many
  46. 2:25of you, if not most of you at this very moment, are making your transition from
  47. 2:29your part-time jobs where you generate an income to your full-time jobs where you
  48. 2:34cultivate an outcome and as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with
  49. 2:38intentionality, understanding the primacy that God places on family. This is
  50. 2:44something we must not overlook.
  51. 2:47The order of the day is disciple making.
  52. 2:50And of course, here we are in the middle of election season.
  53. 2:54It's a great opportunity to utilize this season,
  54. 2:58and I hate to say it that way,
  55. 2:59what happened to the good old election day, eh?
  56. 3:02Yeah.
  57. 3:04That's out of the window.
  58. 3:06But to take this opportunity for those around you,
  59. 3:08your loved ones, your children,
  60. 3:09to show them how we steward our citizenship
  61. 3:12in this country to where we not only participate by vote,
  62. 3:15but that we cast and then formed,
  63. 3:17but we'll get to that quite a bit more
  64. 3:19when we get to the next segment,
  65. 3:22because there's so much, so much, so much to discuss.
  66. 3:27There's so much to discuss.
  67. 3:29But before we get into the issues of the day,
  68. 3:32we must turn to God's holy word.
  69. 3:35We never wanna get into the place to where we side-long
  70. 3:38God's word and attempt to navigate the issues of the day,
  71. 3:40but we must seek to welcome the Lord's word to give light to us,
  72. 3:46to enable us to engage appropriately.
  73. 3:48Praise God, praise God.
  74. 3:50All right, we'll begin the program today in the book of Esther.
  75. 3:54In the book of Esther, the name Esther is actually the Persian name
  76. 4:00that was assigned to her, but her Hebrew name is actually Hadassah.
  77. 4:05You read the scripture, the scripture tells us plainly
  78. 4:08that Hadassa was the daughter of Mordecai's uncle.
  79. 4:15So what would that make her?
  80. 4:18It cousin, it cousin.
  81. 4:22It's significant on a host of fronts by way of reminder,
  82. 4:28the book of Esther is dated between 486 and 464 BC,
  83. 4:34generally speaking.
  84. 4:34And so this is a pivotal time in world history.
  85. 4:40And there's certain things that are vitally vitally necessary for us to comprehend.
  86. 4:51So just to kind of rewind the tape a little bit, the Persian king, a hazardous Greek named
  87. 4:56Xerxes was basically having a pretty raunchy party.
  88. 5:01he sought to flaunt his wife Vashti for his audience, the pagan king Xerxes. Vashti didn't
  89. 5:11want to play with it, and then Xerxes disposed of Vashti. And so, Hadassa comes to the fore
  90. 5:21in Persia because Xerxes basically did kind of a flavor of love kind of thing. Searched
  91. 5:28the kingdom to find his next wife and had a contest.
  92. 5:33Each of the women had an opportunity
  93. 5:36to make Xerxes acquaintance and ultimately,
  94. 5:39you go back and read this for yourself.
  95. 5:40He chose Hadassa to become his next wife.
  96. 5:46Well, as the scripture unfolds,
  97. 5:49the wicked advisor, Haman, to King Xerxes,
  98. 5:53he developed a plan to seek to annihilate
  99. 5:56all of the Hebrew people, all of the Jewish people,
  100. 5:58he sought to full mental holocaust
  101. 6:00within the Persian Empire.
  102. 6:02And it's interesting the scripture tells us
  103. 6:04that Haman was actually a descendant of Agag,
  104. 6:07whereas Mordecai was a Benjamin,
  105. 6:10a descendant of the same tribe that King Saul comes from.
  106. 6:13Stop me if you heard this before.
  107. 6:16Saul King Saul of the tribe of Benjamin versus Agag, right?
  108. 6:21This is a redo, if you will, of that same standoff
  109. 6:24where Saul faltered, God gave a redemptive opportunity for the descendant of the tribe
  110. 6:32of Benjamin to stand firm where Saul had faltered historically.
  111. 6:39Well we fast forward to chapter 4, picking up at verse 13, because this is immediately
  112. 6:45after Mordecai informs Hadassah of the plan to annihilate all of the Jewish people in the
  113. 6:54Persian Empire and we pick up at verse 13 in Esther chapter 4 and this is what the word
  114. 7:00of God says and this is Mordecai addressing Esther or Hadassah who by the way he cared for
  115. 7:12after Hadassah's parents passed away.
  116. 7:15Esther chapter 4 verse 13 this is what the text says then Mordecai told them meaning the
  117. 7:19messengers to reply to Esther, do not imagine that you and the King's palace can
  118. 7:28escape anymore than all the Jews, for if you remain silent at this time, relief and
  119. 7:34deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, and you and your father's
  120. 7:42house will perish. And who knows whether you have not attained
  121. 7:50royalty for such a time as this? The Nestor told her messengers to reply to
  122. 7:58Mordecai, Go, assemble all the Jews who are found in
  123. 8:03Suza and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days,
  124. 8:10night or day. I and my maidens also will fast in the same way. And thus, I will go into the king,
  125. 8:18which is not according to the law. And if I perish, I perish." So Mordecai went away and did just
  126. 8:29as Esther had commanded him. A couple of things I want to point out. And I am
  127. 8:36overwhelmingly confident that this is instructive for us. First, when Esther is confronted with the
  128. 8:42reality of the circumstances, the urgency of the moment and confronted with the fact that her
  129. 8:50particular life station would not insulate her from the havoc that was to come. She was made keenly
  130. 9:02aware of that. Sometimes in our culture, when we see the evidence of a chaotic horizon,
  131. 9:12We could think, well, that's over there.
  132. 9:16But see where I am over here, it's not going to touch me,
  133. 9:20and I simply want to say, guys, we cannot afford to have that disposition.
  134. 9:25One of the first realities is because of technology.
  135. 9:28Even in rural portions of our country, we are finding more and more and more
  136. 9:32that the spirit of the age is penetrating, even the rural portions of our country
  137. 9:36through what people often call phones, but they're not phones.
  138. 9:40They're mobile pocket rocket computers.
  139. 9:44Do not assume that if things turn
  140. 9:49Well things worse than in our nation that your particular station will insulate you from it
  141. 9:55Perpetually because that's it's not the truth. It's just not the truth the next thing. I want to point out is
  142. 10:02Esther's response
  143. 10:04Esther's response was immediately
  144. 10:07to call Mordecai
  145. 10:10Well, let me say it differently Esther's response was
  146. 10:14That I must fast and pray
  147. 10:17Before she sought to engage with activity, her first commitment was to fasting and to praying.
  148. 10:28Brothers and sisters, I cannot sufficiently emphasize the necessity for the people of God in our nation
  149. 10:37to return to being a praying people.
  150. 10:42If we think that we are going to address the issues of our day solely by political maneuvering
  151. 10:48solely by electoral engagement solely by a Supreme Court precedent and opinion interpretation.
  152. 10:56Guys, that is not the case.
  153. 10:58That is not the case.
  154. 10:59If you go back into our own nation's history, our nation's history is a David and Goliath
  155. 11:04story.
  156. 11:05Nobody envisioned that those, you know, few ragtag colonists would have a chance to stand
  157. 11:12against the goliath that was the redcoats, you know, and as Benjamin Franklin said at the
  158. 11:21Constitutional Convention, when they were during the Revolutionary War period and they were immediately
  159. 11:28aware of the potential for their death daily, they did not cease to offer prayer in the same
  160. 11:36Philadelphia chamber. But then you fast forward about 11 years or so and you have the opportunity
  161. 11:43to debate the Constitution in an environment of peace, they proceed to try to try to commit
  162. 11:48to debating with no prayer, which is one of the things of human nature. But as the people
  163. 11:55of God and as well by the Spirit of God, we have to understand that we have to mature
  164. 11:58beyond our prayer lives being a pendulum that swings from crisis to crisis. When we think
  165. 12:05things are cool, we think things are peaceful, then you can't find us seeking our Lord.
  166. 12:10Guys, that's an evidence of immaturity.
  167. 12:13That's an instability.
  168. 12:15And if your prayer life is reduced to nothing,
  169. 12:17but the swing, you remember the monkey bars
  170. 12:19and you get to one bar and you can skip a bar,
  171. 12:21you just swing from one bar crisis
  172. 12:24and the Lord doesn't hear from you
  173. 12:25until the next crisis arises.
  174. 12:30That's the feature of immaturity.
  175. 12:32Esther sets herself to pray.
  176. 12:34Esther sets the people around her immediately to pray.
  177. 12:38Esther appeals to Mordecai to join her in fasting and praying.
  178. 12:44Then the fasting and the praying is followed by action, followed by, accompanied by, joined
  179. 12:57by action.
  180. 13:00I will submit to you that that is an example for us to follow, that as we seek the Lord,
  181. 13:07and as we fasten pray, as the Lord reveals to us wisdom and strategy.
  182. 13:12And we'll talk a little bit about some of the tools and resources that are available to
  183. 13:15give us wisdom as we start the next segment. Then we act upon that wisdom and that strategy.
  184. 13:24And I want to point out to you something because a lot of times when people discuss the book
  185. 13:28of Esther, Haddaosa, they talk about this portion of the scripture. But do you know what the
  186. 13:35deliverance that came from Yahweh was? Do you know what it was in Persia at this time? The
  187. 13:40deliverance was to give the Jewish people an opportunity to fight. Do you understand that?
  188. 13:48That the culmination of Esther's taking her life into her own hands in which she says,
  189. 13:53if I perish, I perish. That is her entering the king's chamber without a prior invitation,
  190. 13:58which is why she said, if I perish, I perish because she knows that's the death sentence.
  191. 14:02And the deliverance that Yahweh provides for the Jewish people here is what becomes the feast of
  192. 14:08the Purim. Well, what was the deliverance? The deliverance was that the Jewish people were
  193. 14:13given the legal right to defend themselves, the legal right to fight. And what I am telling
  194. 14:19you that we are in a similar situation to where the deliverance from our Lord will look very,
  195. 14:27very much like the opportunity to fight, the opportunity to fight. And when I say fight,
  196. 14:36remember the weapons of our warfare and our carnal. I'm not talking about visticuffs. I'm
  197. 14:41I'm talking about using the tools and the resources
  198. 14:45at our disposal and using them in a God-honoring,
  199. 14:48God-glorifying, worship-filled manner
  200. 14:50to contend for the King of Kings
  201. 14:53in the highways, bioways, and hedges of our society,
  202. 14:56the gospel and disciple-making at the front line.
  203. 14:59It's so easy to politicize abortion,
  204. 15:02but the reality is there's a precious life at stake,
  205. 15:05and that little life doesn't have a voice.
  206. 15:08All that little life has is a heartbeat,
  207. 15:11and it can be heard as early as five weeks on ultrasound.
  208. 15:15That's where preborn steps in.
  209. 15:17Preborn is a voice for the little ones.
  210. 15:19They do an ultrasound, and that's when everything changed.
  211. 15:24Because when I saw my baby and when I heard her heart beat,
  212. 15:29that was it?
  213. 15:30Preborn Network of Clinics offers free ultrasounds
  214. 15:33to women in crisis while showering them with God's love.
  215. 15:37This powerful combination doubles a baby's chance at life
  216. 15:41and has helped to rescue over 300,000 babies.

  221. 15:59Shiting light into the darkness.
  222. 16:06This is the Hamilton Corner, an American family radio.
  223. 16:10Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner,
  224. 16:12Abraham Hamilton III here.
  225. 16:13And I want to be clear about what I mean when I'm talking about fighting.
  226. 16:18I am not, like I said, not talking about fisticuffs.
  227. 16:21I am discussing in the way that the scripture says it, the founder of AFR, Don Wildman would
  228. 16:28say this repeatedly, what God requires of his people is faithfulness, faithfulness, obedience
  229. 16:40to what God requires of us.
  230. 16:43You know, being Monday morning quarterback, so to speak and taking temperatures and saying,
  231. 16:47well, well, this is this and this is that.
  232. 16:50What has got required of you and me?
  233. 16:54You know, what has got required of us?
  234. 16:59What has got required of us in the land where he placed us?
  235. 17:03We could have very easily been made citizens of a foreign land, man.
  236. 17:10But the divine King of glory, the sovereign over time and eternity has saw fit to allow
  237. 17:18me to be born a citizen of the United States of America.
  238. 17:23You know, like the Apostle Paul said, you know, I'm a citizen of Rome.
  239. 17:27I didn't purchase my citizenship.
  240. 17:30I was born a citizen and I'm in a similar situation.
  241. 17:35What does God require of us in the land where He's placed us?
  242. 17:37What is foremost required of a servant?
  243. 17:40That He be found faithful.
  244. 17:44is what I'm talking about. I wanted to say something and I've alluded to this over the
  245. 17:48over the I guess I would say probably the last few months I've been on the air. Some of you
  246. 17:53listening may know about this already. I've been away from the microphone more this year
  247. 17:57than any other year broadcasting and that is because I am a caregiver for my parents. And
  248. 18:04not too a little while ago my father passed away. You know Abraham Hamilton Jr. His father
  249. 18:16faith has now become sighted. So I was away these last couple weeks navigating that situation.
  250. 18:24And so I know some of you might have noticed I've been away a bit more this year than previous
  251. 18:27years. And that's the reason why. So I appreciate your patience and the people praying for my
  252. 18:34family and I. And you know, it's one of those things that is very difficult to prepare for.
  253. 18:40I'm grateful to be back on the air with you know, it's amazing
  254. 18:45The God gives us so much wisdom like ecclesiastes 7 2 says it's better to go to the house of mourning
  255. 18:51then to the house of feasting
  256. 18:55Because this is the end of every man and the living take it to heart nothing
  257. 19:02Provides that sober reminder of the fact that our temporal engagement is just that temporal
  258. 19:09And the position that we as believers have is the opportunity to engage
  259. 19:15temporally with the imminent reality that eternity is what truly hangs in the balance.
  260. 19:21And contrary to what people suggest, you know, you're so heavenly,
  261. 19:26you have no earthly good. If you are truly heavenly minded, it would cause you to be
  262. 19:31maximally, for maximize earthly good because you would understand the
  263. 19:36significance and the import of the time that you have on this side of eternity.
  264. 19:39have on this side of eternity.
  265. 19:41And to, to, one of the things my, my dad was my,
  266. 19:45literally coaching a lot in several different sports.
  267. 19:47And one of the things he used to say all the time is
  268. 19:48leave it on the floor, you know, leave it on the floor.
  269. 19:51So if we understand the truth of eternity,
  270. 19:56one, what we would be afraid of.
  271. 19:58And two, why not live full out for the Lord's glory?
  272. 20:03You know?
  273. 20:05And so that is what I would encourage everyone
  274. 20:11listening to this program with. First and foremost, if you do not know Jesus as your Lord and Savior,
  275. 20:18by God's grace may today be the day of salvation for you, do not harden your hearts as a Lord of
  276. 20:23peace for you. There's only one name under heaven by which men must be saved. When that is the name of
  277. 20:29Jesus. Yes, you are the Messiah. That you have the privilege of being a beneficiary of that
  278. 20:33dual imputation where your sin is imputed to Christ. In Christ's righteousness is imputed to you.
  279. 20:40Salvation is a free gift of God.
  280. 20:42It is not the product of works.
  281. 20:45It's not the product of works.
  282. 20:48And those who are born again, the blessed beneficiaries
  283. 20:53of regeneration, it is in light of that regeneration
  284. 20:56that we offer the worship filled response
  285. 20:59that the Apostle Paul describes as,
  286. 21:01our reasonable service.
  287. 21:03And he saved us, the least we can do is live for him.
  288. 21:07The least we can do is live for him.
  289. 21:09And when the love of God has been shed abroad in our hearts,
  290. 21:12it moves us, as Jesus said,
  291. 21:14when he was asked about the greatest commandment,
  292. 21:16the first love the Lord your God,
  293. 21:17with all your heart, your mind, your strength, all that you are.
  294. 21:20The second is like it, love your neighbor as yourself.
  295. 21:24That is what compels me to share the gospel with my neighbor.
  296. 21:26That is what compels me to tell the truth of Jesus Christ.
  297. 21:29That is what compels me to engage in discipleship relationships,
  298. 21:32to love my neighbor as myself.
  299. 21:36And when you think about that,
  300. 21:38And you think about things like Psalm 78,
  301. 21:43what will our grandchildren and great-grandchildren
  302. 21:46inherit and or confront?
  303. 21:49It is that love for a neighbor that compels us
  304. 21:51to put the light on the lampstand.
  305. 21:53So guys, this is the opportunity that we have.
  306. 21:57This is the moment that God has ordained for us.
  307. 22:00How will we respond to this moment?
  308. 22:02Now I want to mention in terms of the tools
  309. 22:05that are available to us,
  310. 22:06We have the privilege to do in our nation what people in human history have not had the
  311. 22:15opportunity to do with many and other nations around the world wish they could do.
  312. 22:21Like right now Brazil is dealing with what seems to be a stolen election in Brazil.
  313. 22:28We have the opportunity to devote, it's not the only thing we could do but it is, a think,
  314. 22:31we must do.
  315. 22:32It's a thing we can do.
  316. 22:35And as I said, not merely to cast a vote, but cast an informed vote, an informed vote.
  317. 22:41A tool that's available to you free of charge is the voter guy prepared by iVotogod.
  318. 22:46It is the best, the most robust, the most resource voter information tool that is available.
  319. 22:56The tool is rooted in research.
  320. 22:59There's a profile for the candidates.
  321. 23:01Over 15,000 candidates were reviewed.
  322. 23:05Last election cycle, that number has been approached
  323. 23:10during this election cycle.
  324. 23:12You can see the responses that the candidates themselves
  325. 23:15have offered to the questions that have been presented
  326. 23:18to them by over I voted God staff.
  327. 23:20You can see not just what they say,
  328. 23:23not just the commercial that pops up during
  329. 23:25the University of Texas football game, you know, you can see their voting records for those
  330. 23:32who have who are incumbents running for office or for those who have been office holders and
  331. 23:36other offices and running for running for a new office, you can see their voting records.
  332. 23:43You can see who has endorsed them.
  333. 23:46And then you also have a line where you can follow the money, not only who has endorsed
  334. 23:50them with a verbal endorsement, but who has given them money.
  335. 23:54who has provided money for them, you can see all of that information, all of that information.
  336. 24:00One of the other major benefits of it is that the evaluations that are provided there are
  337. 24:07not the product of an algorithm.
  338. 24:09They're real people, real people who are on the ground, volunteer panelists who participate
  339. 24:15in evaluating these candidates.
  340. 24:18And there's an oversight panel that reviews all of the evaluations.
  341. 24:22talking about not just the top line, races. Often times, you know, when the
  342. 24:26presidency is on the ballot, people know about the presidency or US Senate race.
  343. 24:29People know about that. Sometimes we can know about the congressional races.
  344. 24:32We're talking about all the way down to state judicial races, all the way down to
  345. 24:36state representatives and in many jurisdictions, if not most of the
  346. 24:41jurisdictions, even your local school boards. The information is available for
  347. 24:46you there. So there's broad, broad, broad coverage. It gives you a tool right
  348. 24:52at your fingertips to get down to it.
  349. 24:54iVotoguy.com is the website and there's another tool
  350. 24:57because many people are not aware of this.
  351. 25:01But across 24 states, there are about 58 ballot measures
  352. 25:06that are on the ballot.
  353. 25:07And this is a sad reality, but it's true.
  354. 25:11Sometimes voters are not aware that they have various
  355. 25:13ballot measures on their ballot until they show up to vote.
  356. 25:17And please don't let that be you.
  357. 25:20We have a resource for you at AFAAction.net.
  358. 25:24AFAAction.net, it is a guide for each of the state ballot initiatives that are on your
  359. 25:30ballots, this election cycle.
  360. 25:33As I mentioned, there are 58 ballot measures across 24 states.
  361. 25:38If you go to iVotogot.com, you can see what your ballot would make look like.
  362. 25:42You can go to AFAAction.net to see whether or not your state has a ballot measure.
  363. 25:47You can see the way that AFA action evaluated your ballot measure if you go there.
  364. 25:53Again, 58 state, sorry, 58 ballot measures across 24 states and includes everything from
  365. 25:59the sanctity of human life, things like voter identification and state laws I'm talking about.
  366. 26:04Election integrity measures, taxes, parental rights, girls, sports, marriage, religious
  367. 26:09celebrity, a host of issues, these things are all available to you, no charge at all, so
  368. 26:18that you not only cast a vote this election cycle, but you're able to cast and informed
  369. 26:23vote, and you're able to vote biblically.
  370. 26:27That is what we're looking for.
  371. 26:28When I say we, I'm talking about the body of Christ, that we evaluate candidates and
  372. 26:34who, whose platforms, whose value systems,
  373. 26:40comport with the truth of God's word
  374. 26:42and who deviates from that,
  375. 26:46and how close we can get to Biblical fidelity.
  376. 26:51This is what is available to you.
  377. 26:54So, AFAAction.net for the ballot measure assessment,
  378. 26:58iVotogot.com for the candidate evaluations,
  379. 27:03inform yourself, arm yourself in prayer, do your own homework,
  380. 27:09understand what is on your ballot and utilize that as a tool, not the tool,
  381. 27:14but a tool in your arsenal as you engage.
  382. 27:18All right.
  383. 27:19I'm going to deal with something now and it's just, it is, it isn't,
  384. 27:25it is consistently grating to see this happen over and over and over again.
  385. 27:31And I pointed this out when it happened.
  386. 27:33And I'm pointing it out now because it keeps on happening.
  387. 27:35And people oftentimes don't realize that this
  388. 27:42is a concerted effort.
  389. 27:43So you guys may recall when in the wake of the 2020 election
  390. 27:48and a lot of people were talking about whether or not
  391. 27:50there were election irregularities and things of that nature
  392. 27:52and on a dime.
  393. 27:53And I pointed this out when it happened.
  394. 27:55George Stephanopoulos was conducting an interview,
  395. 27:57I believe it was with Christie Noem.
  396. 27:58And he said that there is no illegal voting going on.
  397. 28:05There's no election fraud. Remember that.
  398. 28:07And then Christian Oam ticked off several instances,
  399. 28:10bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.
  400. 28:11And then immediately, Stephanopoulos goes,
  401. 28:14well, it's not widespread.
  402. 28:15Y'all remember that? Not widespread.
  403. 28:19Well, fast forward, even under the Biden administration,
  404. 28:23the Biden DOJ prosecuted illegal non-citizen voters.
  405. 28:28It was a very small number,
  406. 28:30But it's one thing to discover and investigate it, and it's another thing to prosecute it.
  407. 28:37And so you move forward, President Trump wins, retakes office, the Department of Justice
  408. 28:41has a new sheriff in town, so to speak, and Harmeet Dillon is a U.S. Department of Justice
  409. 28:47Attorney over the Civil Rights Division, and she's leading investigations of non-citizen
  410. 28:53voters.
  411. 28:54And you guys will recall, my question is, if it's not widespread, shouldn't we try to find
  412. 28:59out how wide it is spread, right? If it's, if it's a narrow spread, why, why are there
  413. 29:06so many people who seem to be doggedly opposed to seeing, well, how wide did it spread? I mean,
  414. 29:11it's not widespread. Is it narrowly spread? Is it smatteringly spread? How many, how
  415. 29:17wide spread? Well, sure enough, you know, and I was minding my own business, tending to my family.
  416. 29:23And then I come across 60 minutes where Leslie Stahl is interviewing a hard meat dillon.
  417. 29:28And I want to play it and let you desire for yourself.
  418. 29:33But does it seem to you that Leslie Stahl is once again attempting to pan the reality that
  419. 29:44they are people in our country?
  420. 29:46First of all, they hear illegally.
  421. 29:47Let's get that started.
  422. 29:48And secondarily, yeah, illegal aliens that are trying, not only trying, that are voting.
  423. 29:56Listen to it for yourself.
  424. 29:57Watch it for yourself.
  425. 29:58Listen to it.
  426. 29:59Watch.
  427. 30:00Number one, clip one, go.
  428. 30:02Non-citizens cannot voted federal elections,
  429. 30:05so the question is simply how many of them there are.
  430. 30:07Harmey Dylan, the head of the Civil Rights Division
  431. 30:10of the Justice Department, has spearheaded
  432. 30:13the government's voter role initiative.
  433. 30:16She spoke to us from California.
  434. 30:18There are people who feel that the point is
  435. 30:21to so distrust about the whole election system.
  436. 30:25There are very few people who are non-citizens
  437. 30:28who end up voting, very, very few.
  438. 30:30And so therefore, what's the purpose?
  439. 30:33The point is actually the opposite of what you were saying.
  440. 30:35It's not to so distrust.
  441. 30:37The distrust is there.
  442. 30:38And so all of these kinds of crimes
  443. 30:40are being prosecuted now for the first time really in volume.
  444. 30:44And even the Biden administration
  445. 30:46prosecuted 13 people for non-citizen voting.
  446. 30:5013 people.
  447. 30:51I mean, the numbers are tiny.
  448. 30:55So Leslie, we've been in office for less than two years.
  449. 30:58We've had investigations on going for over a year,
  450. 31:01and it takes time.
  451. 31:02There are literally thousands of them out there
  452. 31:04that we are looking at.
  453. 31:06There are literally thousands of them out there.
  454. 31:11It just, it boggles my mind.
  455. 31:13Why do these spokesmiles consistently try to pan?
  456. 31:19And say, whoa, it's so rare.
  457. 31:22Armit, why do we need to even do anything?
  458. 31:25I mean, it's such a little bitty, bitty, bitty,
  459. 31:28out, why should we even care?
  460. 31:30Should we try to figure out?
  461. 31:34And she says, man, we've been in office two years and we got thousands of cases in two
  462. 31:38years.
  463. 31:39And this is why we have to, you know, parse language, unfortunately, because you guys know
  464. 31:46one of the things we try to do is translate legalese for you.
  465. 31:50When Harmeet Dillon says that the prior administration prosecuted 13 people, prosecuted 13 people,
  466. 31:56you have to understand what that means.
  467. 31:58means that they investigated, detained, filed a felony indictment, and advanced that indictment
  468. 32:09in a court of law that resulted in a conviction.
  469. 32:12That's what the word prosecution means.
  470. 32:14The word prosecution and investigation are not the same terms.
  471. 32:18So if you prosecuted 13, how many more did the Biden administration investigate?
  472. 32:24Is it interesting that the journalist Leslie Stahl didn't offer that as a follow-up question?
  473. 32:29And then when Harvey Dillon says,
  474. 32:32we are looking into thousands of cases, now.
  475. 32:37It's amazing to me.
  476. 32:38It's amazing to me that Leslie Stahl did not show
  477. 32:41any interest whatsoever into the investigatory process
  478. 32:45to which I would ask you,
  479. 32:47are we talking journalism or are we talking advocacy
  480. 32:50under the banner of journalism?
  481. 32:58America's 250th birthday.

  503. 33:59The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Minute Common Terrets are available at AFR.net.
  504. 34:09Back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio.
  505. 34:14Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton III here.
  506. 34:18You know, 60 minutes is under Barry Weiss's direction now, and it's just, you know, what's
  507. 34:24old boy named, who got fired?
  508. 34:26Scott Pelly, is that his name?
  509. 34:29It's just frankly, I am and I know the American people are sick of spokes, mouths, and I tell
  510. 34:34us what we need to think.
  511. 34:36What happened to the idea that all Americans shared, one person voting illegally is too
  512. 34:42many.
  513. 34:43What happened to that?
  514. 34:45When you have people like this that are saying these kinds of things, like, oh, it's so
  515. 34:48rare.
  516. 34:49Oh, it doesn't happen.
  517. 34:52So what?
  518. 34:53Don't care about it at all?
  519. 34:54You know what's happening.
  520. 34:55like the illegal is coming in yes yeah like all your legal is nobody's illegal
  521. 35:01bobby of course nobody's illegal what are you talking about
  522. 35:05it's just it's disgustingly exhausting to where they continue try to put a
  523. 35:09wet blanket on and say you don't even need to look into it
  524. 35:11you should even care
  525. 35:12and of course
  526. 35:14it is all meant to be you know politically speedy in and try to
  527. 35:17he try to uh... tap down the the zeal
  528. 35:21across the country for things like voter identification and things of that
  529. 35:23nature and that's why what Armie Dillon said was right. No, no, no, it's not creating distrust,
  530. 35:28it distrust already exists. We're trying to restore trust by investigating the things that
  531. 35:34need to be investigated. So it's just mind-boggling how you have people like that that continue
  532. 35:45to assert their partisan preferences instead of being, you know, they call themselves
  533. 35:53journalist. Like I'm telling you, I'm giving you my opinion on this program. You know,
  534. 35:58this is a program of my commentary and my opinion. Of course, I want my opinion anchored in fact and
  535. 36:03anchored in truth, but they try to present themselves with, oh, we're just neutral operators of information.
  536. 36:10When they're saying things like, it was just so rare, why investigated at all? Basically what she's
  537. 36:14saying? He's like, yo, it ain't, it's not rare. We got thousands of cases working on it right now.
  538. 36:20Right now. All right, another thing I wanted to bring out, and many of you in this audience,
  539. 36:25because you guys are always on the ball are so familiar with it.
  540. 36:28But there are others, someone maybe new to the program and maybe never heard of this.
  541. 36:32I wanted to take some time to remind you of a document that was discovered.
  542. 36:41In 2004, and I want to give you a little bit of the background of the document.
  543. 36:49And the purpose of this is to show that this is not, you know, hyperbolic opinion assertion.
  544. 36:55This is real deal, holy field, facts that have been discovered and that have been available
  545. 37:02to us for quite some time.
  546. 37:04But there are some who are willingly ignorant of certain things.
  547. 37:07So what am I talking about?
  548. 37:08I am talking about that document that was discovered by the FBI, accidentally by the
  549. 37:13way, by a way a reminder.
  550. 37:15It was an accidental discovery in 2004, and I'm going to talk a little bit about that
  551. 37:20history that resulted in the FBI's discovery of a document called, quote,
  552. 37:25an explanatory memorandum on the general strategic goal for the Muslim
  553. 37:30Brotherhood in North America, end quote. That's the title of the document, the title,
  554. 37:37an explanatory memorandum on the general strategic goal for the Muslim
  555. 37:42Brotherhood in North America, a bit of the history. In 2004, the FBI acquired
  556. 37:54evidence that led to them to secure a search warrant for the home of a man by the name of
  557. 37:59Ismail El Barasi. Ismail El Barasi, who was acting as a fundraiser for Hamas in Anandale,
  558. 38:09Virginia. All right, pause for the cause. Ismail El Barasi was acting as a fundraiser for the
  559. 38:18organization, the terrorist group that executed the most horrendous slaughter of Jewish people
  560. 38:30since the Holocaust on October 7th, 2023. This man, Ismael El Barasi, was raising money for
  561. 38:39them in Virginia. Just take a moment and reflect on this, guys. And man, I'm telling you, the
  562. 38:48The rapid pace of information and keeping your head going back and forth and back and forth
  563. 38:54and no ability to sit with anything and to process anything.
  564. 38:57Guys, that's intentional.
  565. 38:58It's intentional.
  566. 38:59All right.
  567. 39:00This cat was raising money in 2004 for her miles in Annandale, Virginia.
  568. 39:10El Barasi had been stopped on traffic by a police officer in Maryland.
  569. 39:17Why would he stop on track to it?
  570. 39:19Because he was traveling with a woman who appeared to be filming the support structures
  571. 39:26of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
  572. 39:28Gee, I wonder why they will be doing that.
  573. 39:33Taking video of the support structures of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
  574. 39:39All right?
  575. 39:42The FBI ultimately obtains the search warrant for Elborosse's residence, and during the
  576. 39:48search they discovered a hidden basement. In that basement, they found more than 80 boxes,
  577. 40:0180 boxes of the Muslim Brotherhood's archives in North America. All right. Is everybody
  578. 40:08see, imagine this. Oh, Ismael is rolling with the lady and he's not getting out doing the filming.
  579. 40:17He's rolling with the, with the lady. She's doing the filming. Police officers in Maryland,
  580. 40:24and not FBI officers, regular police officers, witness, erratic driving that leads to a stop
  581. 40:35based on probable cause, the probable cause of that stop leads to, oh, the local officers
  582. 40:42contact the FBI is like, um, y'all probably want to look into this. The FBI then gets a
  583. 40:50search warrant for Elbarasi's house and they get to his house. He got a basement underneath
  584. 40:56the basement. Y'all follow me? He got a basement underneath the basement. And underneath the
  585. 41:05basement, this cat has 80 boxes of Muslim Brotherhood archives. Amongst the documents that are recovered,
  586. 41:18it includes this explanatory memorandum on the general strategic goal of the Muslim Brotherhood
  587. 41:23in North America. Not only do they found that document, they also found a document that linked
  588. 41:35and some of your heard this name before the holy land foundation for relief and
  589. 41:38development
  590. 41:41which was initially set up as a tax exempt track attacks exempt chat charity
  591. 41:45they found that all know they were using
  592. 41:48five one c three raise funds
  593. 41:52to give money
  594. 41:53the mama
  595. 41:55all right now going over those facts again
  596. 41:57because a lot of us have heard that the whole of the foundation trial just
  597. 42:00trying to throw out there
  598. 42:02and i've heard about it was a document and don't really understand
  599. 42:05and don't recall the specific facts as how all of that came together, which is why I wanted
  600. 42:11to revisit that history.
  601. 42:12All right?
  602. 42:14Well, this document, give you the name again, not that one.
  603. 42:22Yes, the explanatory memorandum on the general strategic goal for the Muslim Brotherhood in
  604. 42:26North America, this was a document that was written in 1991 by a man named Muhammad Akram,
  605. 42:37known as Muhammad al-Duluni, al-Luni. He's writing the document for the Shura Council of
  606. 42:45the Muslim Brotherhood, the Shura Council of the Muslim Brotherhood. In this document,
  607. 42:55he goes on to refer to it being an addendum to the, quote, long-term plan approved and
  608. 43:02adopted by the Shura Council in 1987. In quote, in this memorandum was intended to be incorporated
  609. 43:13in the 1987 document.
  610. 43:16Now, pause again.
  611. 43:17Why am I saying all of this, guys?
  612. 43:20Why am I saying all of this?
  613. 43:22I'm saying all of this because I want you to understand
  614. 43:26that this is not something that somebody went to sleep
  615. 43:29last night woke up.
  616. 43:30You know what I've been thinking?
  617. 43:33You know, you know, you know, you know,
  618. 43:35Marty Martin Martin, I've been thinking, you know,
  619. 43:38you know, I went to Buffalo Wild Wings other night,
  620. 43:41you know what I'm saying?
  621. 43:42And then, you know, the idea came to my mind.
  622. 43:45Why don't we try to use as a cop so we can influence elections in America?
  623. 43:51God, this is a 1987 and the plan goes further, wave further back than that, but I'm just talking
  624. 44:00about just this document itself, right?
  625. 44:03It's a 1987 plan that has been adopted and approved by the Shura Council.
  626. 44:12And by the way, what was the objective?
  627. 44:15Well I'm so glad that you asked.
  628. 44:20objective of the document.
  629. 44:23And we'll, you know, we'll, we'll, I'll give you some links for this because you can get
  630. 44:27the document yourself.
  631. 44:28You can look it up for yourself, actually, because it's available.
  632. 44:33But the document describes, quote, the enablement of Islam in North America to establish an
  633. 44:42effective and stable Islamic movement led by the Muslim Brotherhood, which adopts Muslims,
  634. 44:49is domestically and globally and which works to expand the observant Muslim base and to
  635. 44:58unify Muslims into an observant global Islamic state."
  636. 45:13The document goes on to explain, quote, the process of settlement is called, the process
  637. 45:17of settlement is a civilization, sorry, a civilization jihadist process.
  638. 45:24With all the word means.
  639. 45:26The equan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad, in eliminating
  640. 45:32and destroying the Western civilization from within, and sabotaging its miserable house
  641. 45:39by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and so-called God
  642. 45:45in their documents.
  643. 45:47God's religion is made victorious over all other religions.
  644. 45:51this level of understanding we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared ourselves
  645. 45:56for jihad yet.
  646. 45:58It is a Muslims destiny to perform jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands
  647. 46:04until the final hour comes.
  648. 46:07And there is no escape from that destiny except for those who choose to slack."
  649. 46:11End quote.
  650. 46:17Quote, This grand mission is a civilization's jihadist responsibility which lies on the shoulders
  651. 46:22of Muslims and on top of them.
  652. 46:24Muslim Brotherhood in this country."
  653. 46:32The document explains that this Civilizational Jihad or this Grand Jihad, and this is in
  654. 46:40the explanatory memorandum on the general strategic goal for the Brotherhood in North America,
  655. 46:45this Grand Jihad is not Jihad in the sense of armed struggle.
  656. 46:49Guys, this is in the document.
  657. 46:53This grandi-hard is not in the sense of an armed struggle but a civilizational one.
  658. 47:01Rather than operating as a single organization, it outlines a network of affiliated institutions
  659. 47:06and groups, community associations, advocacy associations, and religious centers all intended
  660. 47:13to advance the same ideological agenda.
  661. 47:16Guys, and this is why the document is so important.
  662. 47:19This strategy is not hypothetical.
  663. 47:22Nor is it an outsider's interpretation.
  664. 47:25It's the Muslim Brotherhood's own articulation
  665. 47:28of what it intended to do.
  666. 47:32That's why it's so important.
  667. 47:33That's not some commentator like me saying,
  668. 47:37you know, I'm interpreting the document for you.
  669. 47:39No, no, this is them outlining for themselves.
  670. 47:45They identify our organizations like Care
  671. 47:48in Islamic Association, Islamic Society of North America.
  672. 47:51And they identify the list of the organizations
  673. 47:54as an addendum to the memo that will aid them in accomplishing this task.
  674. 47:59They talk about normalizing he job wearing.
  675. 48:02They talk about the normalization, you know, of halal food sources in our country.
  676. 48:07They talk about economic jihad that you use the infidels money against them.
  677. 48:13Do I need to go back to the quote?
  678. 48:18To where their work in America is the kind of grandi-hard in eliminating and
  679. 48:23destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable
  680. 48:27house by their hands. It's about using our own hands to sabotage what they
  681. 48:33describe as their miserable house. Now of course, do I believe every single person
  682. 48:43identifies themselves as a Muslim believes this? No. But the burden on
  683. 48:50proof is not on me to identify who believes it and who doesn't. And for us to
  684. 48:57act like this doesn't exist is an exercise of grand naivety, which provokes
  685. 49:06the query. If we have this information, guys, we've had this memo since since 2004. That's
  686. 49:13when this was discovered in 2004. And as I mentioned, the memo itself describes it as
  687. 49:18being a part of a strategy that was adopted and approved in 1987. Now think about that
  688. 49:27and think about, I'll do it outside here and run it for a minute. What is really going
  689. 49:33on guys, we have to understand the time that we're in.
