Hamilton: God has called us to be ambassadors even in this dark moment
Abraham Hamilton III Darkness is not an affirmative force. It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
Abraham Hamilton III This is the, Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
Abraham Hamilton III It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite, delivering people
Abraham Hamilton III out of the bondage of mainstream media and the philosophies of this world.
Abraham Hamilton III God has called you and me to be his ambassadors, even in this dark moment. Let's not miss our moment.
Abraham Hamilton III And, now, the Hamilton Corner.
Abraham Hamilton III Good evening, everybody.
Welcome to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio
Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio. I'm your host, Abraham Hamilton iii. Grateful to be with you again. I'm joined by the Corner contingent right across from me. My man, 100 grand, Mr. Bobby Rosa is in the studio behind the board and in the screening room. Producer extraordinaire. Often imitated, never duplicated. The real J. Mack. Ladies and gentlemen, we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program.
What goes on in your home is more important than what's going on in Washington
So much, so much is happening, that it really is, it can be overwhelming when you're talking about the foolishness du jour. I mean, it is, it can be overwhelming. But that's why I endeavor to remind you, as I do every day. And it's also a reminder to myself that what goes on in your house is more important than what's going on in the White House. Because you and I are directly responsible for what happens in our homes at this very moment. Many of you, if not most of you, are making your transition from your part time jobs where you generate an income, to your full time jobs where you cultivate an outcome. And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality, understanding the primacy that God places on family and welcoming that, to govern, to guard, and to guide your engagements. I understand exactly what I said. Just like you, I have bills to pay. I have children that eat every day. You know, I'm like, can y' all skip a day or two? They're like, no, daddy, I need my Cocoa Puffs today, just like I did yesterday. but I'm inviting you to recalibrate your thinking. Because income generation is a part of what we do, but it's not synonymous with our identities. Our identity should be connected to outcome cultivation. The responsibility of the believer is to be a disciple maker, not merely a convert, but a disciple maker. And the first iteration of that is our homes. The world works over time to stretch us, to strain us, to cause us to have attention and emotional investment everywhere else. And we leave our families just to pick up the pieces, of a day's worth of leftovers. And I want to encourage you to reverse that. To be intentional about the time we spend with our families, to be intentional about the opportunities that we have with our families, to recognize that the family is God's primary institution for generational kingdom building. It's the primary one. That's why no matter what the situation is, mental health professionals always begin with, tell me about your relationship with your father. For good, bad or worse, Good, bad or indifferent, it always starts there. Because God has designed it, designed us, frankly, so that fathers have an outsized and enduring impact upon our children. You can read sociological study after sociological study. That's why you see, you know, 70, 80 year old men, talking about their relationship with their fathers, because God designed it that way. So we will either intentionally utilize God's design or we will neglect our way into something we really, truly do not want. And frankly, there is no middle ground there. Now, I understand that we have, many different people at various life stages. We have people in various iterations. Some of you are like me. Many of you are like me. I'm in this stage where I have young children still in my home. Some of you may be grandparents. And you guys have heard me say many times, some of you may be great grandparents. We need all hands on deck. And if we would allow the Lord to transform us within our families, there's no question as to what can happen in our nation. So as you're making your transition, I simply want to remind you, don't forget what's going on in your home. In fact, reverse the world trend to cause you to give significance and import to everything else but our families. Let's reverse that. To the word of God we go.
David Frum: We need to be wary about relying too heavily on military confidence
I want to return to Psalm chapter 20. I'm going go, to another verse, deeper into the Psalm than I did the last time we navigated this text, by way of reminder, Psalm 20 comes to us chronologically, from King David. He was the author of Psalm 20. But, it follows the events that are recorded in 2nd Samuel chapter 10 and 1st Chronicles chapter 19. In 2nd Samuel 10 and 1 Chronicles chapter 19, it's recorded there that Israel was at war against two nations simultaneously. it was Syria and Ammonia who had come against, come against King David and the nation of Israel. And one of the things you'll find when you read those chapters, 2nd Samuel 10 and 1 Chronicles 19, you'll find that the Syrians at that juncture had a military weaponry advantage. They had the innovation of chariots and they had a massive amount of horsemen. All right. It specifically refers to 700 charioteers and 40,000 horsemen, which is to be contrasted with foot soldiers. So you have 40,000 horsemen and chariots. You have a lot more mobility, a lot more thrust, if you will, if you're going against foot soldiers only. And that is the contextual backdrop for this psalm. And I want to zoom in to verses six through eight in the psalm. And remember, David is the one who wrote the psalm, and he says this. Now, I know that the Lord saves his anointing. He will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving might of his right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand upright. Now, this psalm truly leaps from the page when you factor in the historical reality that David is expressing this. Is expressing this after having contended with Assyrian Ammonite, tandem, national tandem, that thought that they had the upper hand. They thought they had the upper hand because they had placed massive confidence in their military innovation. They played. Placed massive confidence in, well, we have tanks and you don't. They placed. They placed massive confidence in the fact that they had a slew of horsemen, that they were not confined to foot soldiers for battle. Yet. Yet the Lord, in his divine providence and in his sovereignty, empowered David and the nation of Israel to be victorious. And when we turned to this passage before I mentioned it, in light of the necessity of never getting too big for your britches. That's what my dad used to say all the time. Never getting too big for your britches. I don't want anybody to take from this something, that I am not intending to communicate. I am grateful, and I said this when I talked about this earlier this week. I'm grateful that the United States of America has the most potent military in the entire world. That is an objective fact. That is an objective fact. But we need to be very wary about making the fact about our military prowess as the fulcrum of our confidence. We need to be very wary of having in God we trust in our Federal Reserve notes and on our legal tender. But the truth is, the practical reality is in our military we trust, or in our, you know, our gdp we trust. Our ghost domestic product we trust. Because the scripture is replete from Genesis on through revelation, with the reality that God rules and reigns in the affairs of men. Our national history, the United States of America. As we are approaching the celebration of the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence this July. Right. At that time, the global preeminent military superpower were the redcoats in England. King George thought everything was sweet, nothing could come his way because who can get at the Red Coats? This is what he thought. This is what he thought. And because of the reality of human reality of human nature and you add into it. I know I would definitely argue this. In this day and age with the inundation with information, we need to be very careful about, that we do not misconstrue readily access to information with ready access to wisdom. Because right now we have people that have access to information. At the click of a button, you pick up one of these pocket rocket computers. You know, they call them phones, even though most people don't even call with them. They do more texting and calling. But this, this is a pocket rocket supercomputer. You know, many of you like, like I've shared the story before. When I was in college, we had to go to the computer lab to use computers. And the computer and the processing capacity in these pocket rockets exceed what most of us experienced in college. Now these younger generations, they're digital natives. But we should not misconstrue ready access to information with wisdom because it ain't the same. And we have such an inundation of information. We have people who are, who are topically aware of a whole bunch of stuff but don't really have any expertise in anything in particular. Doesn't really delve into the depths of too much things. It's kind of the click and scroll phenomenon. That is overwhelmed modern society.
Joseph Parker: Excellence should be the standard for those who are in Christ
But getting back to the text where I concluded in verse eight, it says they collapse and fall. Who is they? It's the they who has placed their, their confidence, who has made their boast in the chariots? It's the they who's made their boast in the Horsemen. Those are the ones who collapse and fall. And David contrasts that with. But we rise and stand upright. Who is the we? Those who place our trust in the name of our Lord. We're in an, we're in a time period. You know, we have people that have expertise in various areas and absolutely study to show yourself, to prove. The scripture says as a workman worthy of. Worthy, to rightly divide the word of truth. But in particular disciplines. If you have a vocational discipline, you know, if you're a craftsman, you are an artisan, you know, you, you are a professional of some other sort, you should be excell. Especially if you're a Christ. Follower. Because we do everything that we do heartily as unto the Lord and not unto men. Excellence should be the standard for those who are in Christ. But our pursuit of excellence is not about self aggrandizement. Our pursuit of excellence is not so we can pound our chest and look down our noses at other people to look askance at them to say, you need to get up to my level. But that's not what we do. Because we understand what the apostle James said, That God opposes the proud. But God gives grace to the humble. We cannot afford. Even in the era of modernity, even with technological innovation, even with military supremacy, even with, the largest GDP in the, in the world, those things should never be our fulcrum of confidence. Certainly we need to be able to observe facts. Certainly we should state facts. But we should recognize all good and perfect gifts come from the Father of Lights. I never forget. I. I've told this story in different places. I don't think I've ever told the story on the radio. Many of you guys know, I never, never knew, never even intended to be on the radio. But I was in law school when Hurricane Katrina hit NewSong Orleans. And I honestly, I never thought I would leave NewSong Orleans. I never thought I would practice law anywhere else. Because when I was in law school, I studied only the Napoleonic Code. And I. I applied to take the bar exam in Louisiana prior to Hurricane Katrina coming. You know, then Hurricane Katrina hits. And here's another thing. I actually had a job solidified at a law firm in NewSong Orleans prior to Hurricane Katrina. Well, in a moment's notice, in one weekend, everything I thought my life would consist of was blown away. In one weekend. I called the Louisiana State Bar to confirm that I would still be able to sit for the bar exam that summer. They regrettably informed me. Mr. Hamilton, I am sorry to inform you, but we had, we had massive flooding and we have no record of your application for the bar exam. Should you still desire to sit for the Louisiana bar exam, you're going to have to wait an entire cycle. I would have to wait until the next year to take the test. And many of you know the rest of the story. God used that to thrust me to Texas. I ended up having to learn, Texas law in two months and take the Texas bar exam. And the rest of the story. Well, but my point is that I had an entire perspective what my life was going to consist of. And just like that, everything changed. My simple encouragement is to remind you that, especially when you're successful as that's commonly understood that you cannot afford to be lifted up in pride because God opposes the pride that opposes the proud. This applies to individual, this applies to individuals, but it also applies to nations. May God grace our nation to be a nation where confidence is also connected with God driven humility. A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
Joseph Parker Genesis is a wonderful, powerful and supernatural book. It's the book that begins to answer our questions about God. People ask many questions about life, real questions that they wish to get answers for. Questions such as where did we come from? Who created us? Who created the world? Who created the universe? What is the purpose of life? These are only a few of many legitimate questions that people often ask. If you'd ask many scientists in our culture today, what are some of your main goals and what is your purpose in studying science? We're trying to find out who we are and where we came m from. The word of God has answers. Many, many answers. It's God's word that gives us answers to all of our questions. He of course has answers that no one else would even begin to have.

April 15th is tax day all across the country
All right. Some of you might have heard I was on, today's issues for a little while earlier this morning and I alluded to this. I wanted to share, a little bit more in a bit more detail, what I alluded to because this is April 15th and this is tax day all across the country. And it's sad that so many people in our nation, they look forward to tax day, unfortunately, because they expect to get refunds. And for the most part, what some don't understand is that when you get a refund, it's because you basically provided an interest free loan to the government for an entire year. And they're not giving you something, because of their so gracious, they're really giving you your money back that they forcibly borrowed from you. And I'm not laughing because it's funny. I am. It's one of those things you laugh to keep from crying kind of thing. because like, I was. Many of you were. Well, not many of you, all of you were born into. Unless there's some very, very seasoned saints listening to the show today. The majority of us were born into an era to where a federal income tax has just been the norm. And it's one thing when there is something that's been normative, but we don't understand. There's a history that precedes what we think is normative. But the reality of Tax Day is brought to you by Regressives R Us. That that's just the reality is brought to you by Regressives R Us. What most people may not be aware of, the federal income tax coincided with the passage and the signing into law of the Federal Reserve act, which was. Initially tried and failed in 1910, but it ultimately was passed in 1913 and signed into law by none other than, you guessed it, Woodrow Wilson, one of, if not the worst president in American history. The Federal Reserve act was signed into law December 23, 1913. Just, just marinate on that for a bit. Signed into law December 23, 1913. Now you ask. Let me ask you a question. Do you think there was great intention for the citizens of the United States of America to be able to, consider, well, what had just been signed into law, if it was signed into law two days before the national Christmas holiday, you, you think there was great intention for that? Yeah. December 23rd, 1913. One of the things that coincided with the legislative Package that culminated in the Federal Reserve act, which was the act that as I mentioned, created the Internal Revenue Service. The Internal Revenue Service was created to facilitate the 16th Amendment. What is the 16th Amendment? The 16th Amendment is the amendment that allowed for the first time a direct taxation on the income generating capacity of the American citizens. The 16th Amendment, which was adopted February 25, 1913, says this quote, the Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes from whatever source derived without apportionment among the several states and without regard to any census or enumeration. Now, one of the things that I want to say on the ONSET when the 16th Amendment was initially passed, what was presented to the American people, and stop me if you heard this before, was that the federal income tax would only be a, soak the rich tax, that the federal income tax will only affect the top 1% of wage earners. Have y' all heard that before? Have y' all heard that before? Bobby, look at Jeff got his hood on. Bobby, look at him, he cold. I'm sorry, I got distracted. I gotta have more crap though. The federal income tax was presented to the American people as if it was only going to be a tax against a tax upon the 1% of wage earners in the country. Do y' all want to see who's paying income taxes now? Well, is it the top 1% of wage earners that are paying a federal income tax? And I want to state something, if something is wrong, principally if it affects the top 1% of age wage earners or not, because then you had the inclusion, which was a part of the design from the very beginning for there to be a progressive income tax. Have you heard that terminology, that the more revenue you generate, the higher tax will be because it was the mechanism for the redistribution wealth. And so, as often as I can, I want to remind people that this was not. The federal income tax has not been a staple of the American experience, let alone system of government. It's something that was created during and installed during the Progressive era, which I call the Revolution era. If you examine the reality of capital formation in our country at the individual level, even at the banking level, one of the most immediate things that has transpired is that it is the primary vehicle that has transformed the United States of America from a capital formation nation to a debtor nation. When the Federal Reserve act was passed, 90 plus percent of the American populace was 100% debt free. 100%. Since the passage of the Federal Reserve, that's actually been reversed almost identically. It's one of those things. Theft is theft, whether it's committed by an individual or if it's committed by the government. One of the most pernicious forms of theft is the invisible tax that is described as inflation. Many of you, even on your jobs, you have what they call cola. Cost of living increases to where inflation is treated as if it is an inescapable automatic reality. When the truth is that inflation is the product of debt, consumption, fiscal policies. That's just the truth. And so I just wanted to take a moment to remind you of that because when you see these notions repeated, it's not anything new. It's rinse and repeat. Oh, we need to tax the rich. We need to do this. And people say tax the rich and they don't even consider, who pays income taxes now? Who pays the overwhelming majority of income taxes now. And you have the phenomenon, and we talked about it before, like NewSong York governors. Kathi Hochul is basically crying for what she said. Rich, NewSong Yorkers to move back to NewSong York because they need your tax revenue. Because you have all of these policies, you know, like the Islamian is Mamdani's, city owned grocery stores. I'm sure that's going to work. Well, it's going to be the DMV applied to produce. Surely that won't go wrong. Won't be anything wrong there. I just wanted to present this so people can have a better understanding of how these things unfold. And these are not benign, innocent ideas. They always have a motivation, they always have a, result. And then you have that combined with the revelations of fraud that are transpiring around our country. And a lot of it was exposed by Nick Shirley in Minnesota and in other places. That that fraud once again is brought to you by regressors because the fraud wouldn't be possible without the massive tax revenue that is forcibly confiscated from the American citizens. And you think about it, the billions of dollars, and I have story after story right now. I can show you people, illegal aliens and others they're driving like Mercedes Benzes and other things, while you have others that are hardworking, working feverishly to provide for their families. They don't own those things. And it's amazing that we can't, or should I say we have not, sought to crush the fraud, to stamp out the fraud, but let you or I try to escape our federal tax bills and see what happens. You know what I'm saying? And listen, y' all know, I'm an equal opportunity truth Teller. It boggles my mind. And Representative Tim Burchett from Tennessee said this. It boggles my mind how quickly the Doge cuts in the conversations around the Department of Government Efficiency completely went away. Have y' all noticed that? And what did Representative Tim Burchett say? Tim Burchett said elon Musk better move as fast as he can, because if he don't move fast enough, what you're going to find is you're going to have dirt in members of both primary political parties. And because of that bipartisan, also known as uni party, willingness to allow the scams to continue, because many of those people are beneficiaries of the scams, they're going to shut it down. And what's happened?
Eduardo: It makes me sick to think about congressional sexual harassment fund
Do you hear anybody talking about Doge now, other than me? Hmm? Anybody? Doge cuts? Any of that? Any of that has been codified? Nah, nah, it's not being codified. Those things, those scams, those federal fraud. Federal fraud. And you have the congressional slush fund to pay out, sexual assault and harassment claims. You know, like I talked earlier this week about Representative Swalwell resigning from Congress and then, oh, Tony Gonzalez resigns from Congress as well. And it's represented as if both of those things happened contemporaneously. No, they didn't happen. But do you think anybody in D.C. was surprised about Swalwell? You know, Fang Fang. And this is honestly one of the major reasons why the Epstein saga remains an outsized, notion in the minds of many of the American citizens. Because the idea of having people in positions of power who are compromised because of their hedonistic and, let's just say it this way, abhorrent and deviant sexual lifestyles, that they're easy to manipulate and control. You think anybody was surprised about Swalwell? But what, what happened? Swalwell just became a PR problem, but nobody in D.C. is surprised about it. So much so that there is, and I have this in my stack. Representative Anna Paulina Luna was. Posted this and, honestly made me sick in my stomach. She posted it, posted this today. This morning at 11:14am she put, quote, a friendly reminder that House Oversight subpoenaed the records of the congressional sexual harassment slush fund and we will be releasing them. Maybe we'll see more resignations, you never know. Hashtag trash day. That's probably true, but can I tell you something? It makes me sick to my stomach that everybody knows there's a congressional slush fund to pay harassment claims. You know what, you know where the funds come from tax day, April 14th. It's been around forever. Spin around Bobby saying it's been around forever. It has been around forever. It has been around forever. But we just wink and nod and go on. And people in Congress and how many times these are the types of things. How many times there are people that are elected and you're like, man, these people were so committed when they were elected. Then they get to D.C. it's like they get this Potomac fever. What happens? It's disgusting. Reading Representative Paulina Luna's X tweet post, whatever you want to call it now. I'm sorry, Elon. It's a tweet, bro. I'm sorry. You can't call. What are you going to call it? An X? They can't call it an X. It's a tweet. It made me nauseous. It made me nauseous because it made me think about all these people knew about Swalwell. His staffers are the ones that accused him publicly first of criminal sexual assault, people that worked for him. And then you rewind the tape a little bit. Don't you recall he was one of the main ones trying to go in on Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing? Remember that? But he goes from that to all of these other things as the allegations include. And it's just disgusting. And you see that it's a bipartisan cesspool because you have the Tony, Gonzalez situation, which, this is a new. The, the, the. The adulterous affair happened, several years ago. And then when the woman who had the affair with him committed suicide, then it became a bigger issue. But the adultery really was a non issue for the people in D.C. dC primarily. So it just, it's just one of those things that's sickening to consider. But this is what I. This is where I want to come to rest. That all that fraud and the. The slush fund is created by your tax dollars in mind and to truly consider whether or not this utter smut that abounds in a soft thing called ugly Hollywood. They call D.C. ugly Hollywood. That abounds in ugly Hollywood. Is that a reflection of the smut that abounds in our society? Isaiah said, the whole head is sick.

Abraham Hamilton III: Virginia will change the way it allocates electoral votes
Abraham Hamilton III Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here. Another thing I wanted to clear up, or should I say expound upon a bit further, from, my TI interview earlier was this national popular vote compact. I hope Virginians understand just how much they were duped by now. I mean, the former CIA agent, now Virginia Governor Abigail Spamberger. What's one of the things the CIA is known for, Mr. M. Arrosa? Misdirection. Lying. Lying. We not give you the professional description he's about to say. He said misdirection in subterfuge, not lying. That what they're known for. They lie. They lie like a rug. They lie. Known to lie. Campaigned as a, quote, unquote, moderate. As soon as she was sworn in, the mask is off, you know, and because they have, unanimous government among the regressives in Virginia, they rammed through. You know, you take your pick. What's the spooky dude named George Soros? It was, it was, it was the George Soros Buffet line. You know the George Soros Buffet line. Some of y' all listening to me. Remember this. When I was a young, young man and a little boy growing up in NewSong Orleans, they had a furniture store, and the dude was called the Special Man. You want to buy furniture, you go see the Special Man. The Special man would say, let him have it. Let him have it. That's what Spamberger is saying to George Soros. Let him have it. Whatever he wants, that's what he gets. That's what he gets. And that's been a tactic that's been employed all over the country in contested areas to where those who would be regressive, hey, just say you're moderate. Just say it. Which shows you the utter contempt they have for the American populace because the assumption is, oh, nobody's gonna check. You can just say whatever you want to say about yourself. Nobody's gonna try to verify whether or not it's true. But if you used I voter guide, you would have known. Now, she's lying. That's not who she is. That being said, amongst the legislation that she signed, one of the major things. Virginians, if you, if you're listening, I know we have a contingent, a significant audience in Virginia. You, have an election coming up next week, Virginia 21st. I'm sorry, April 21st, to where you're going to be voting on Governor Spamberger's signed seal deliver redistricting plan. And though the state of Virginia is considered on a purple state in terms of its makeup, Spamberger's redistricting plan will completely decimate any prospect of there being a, balance of representation in terms of congressional representation. From there, the Virginia congressional delegation will look just like a state legislature if Spamberger's plan passes. But in addition to that, she just signed into law, it just happened, that Virginia will now change the way they allocate their electoral votes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They've signed on to the, the National Popular Vote Compact. Now, I want to be clear about something. The National Popular Vote Compact has a trigger, a conditional trigger that only comes into effect if there are enough signatories to the compact to represent 270 electoral votes, which is the number of electoral votes that's necessary for a candidate for the presidency to be elected President of the United States by the Electoral College. Virginia has 13 electoral votes as it stands currently in order for a candidate. Well, should I say as it stood prior to the change, and prior to, as it stands currently, until the change goes into effect, and that will require another 48 electoral votes to join the National Popular Vote Compact. but as it stands currently, the way that Virginians vote in the state, whoever wins the majority of votes in the state, that's how the state casts its Electoral College votes. But with Virginia, Virginia entering the National Popular Vote Compact, what they're saying, even if the Virginians in the state, let's say, vote for a Republican presidential candidate, the Virginians vote will not matter if the national popular vote favors the Democrat candidate. So the National Popular Vote Compact literally has within it the capacity to absolutely nullify Virginia's votes for the presidency as long as enough Californians and NewSong Yorkers and citizens in Illinois, if they all decide they want a candidate other than who the Virginians want, Abigail Spamberger, just down the law that says that we are going to cast our Electoral College votes according to the votes of other people. That's what she's agreed to do. Now, the whole purpose, and this is why you have to study history for yourself, because people will try to offer a revisionist idea concerning, the purpose for the Electoral College. The purpose of the Electoral College, from its very genesis, was to require the chief executive of the federal government to be elected by a cross section of citizens in the entire United States of America. The debate, and you can read this for yourself, read the Federalist Papers, read James Madison's notes on the Constitutional Convention. The debate was, how do we balance the interests of a large state at the time, like NewSong York, against those of a smaller state like Rhode island, like Maine? How do we balance the interest of large population centers alongside those of smaller population centers? So the conclusion in the 1787 Constitutional Convention was that it was not sufficient to simply rely on a popular vote. Because if a popular vote is all that was necessary, then candidates for the office of the presidency would only have to win. Urban population centers. Project out population. Today you literally could have a candidate. If they win California, they win NewSong York, pick one or two other states. They don't even have to go to another state to win because we have other states with large land masses, but the population isn't the same. But the National Popular Vote Compact is an end run around the wisdom of the Electoral College. And I mention it, if you want to talk about regressive ideology, can you imagine a more regressive notion than to say That I am willing as the governor of my state to say that I want to sign on to an agreement that even if my state votes against what other states want, we will cast our state's entire Electoral College ballot slate according to what other states do. Now, I want to be clear about something. The Electoral College, the Constitution grants to each state the lawful authority to determine how they're going to use their electoral votes. So the majority of the states right now says whoever wins our state, that's who gets our Electoral College votes. States like Nebraska do it a little bit differently. They allow for a circumstance where you can win individual congressional districts and you can get an additional set of Electoral College votes depending on your performance in the entire state. That's how Nebraska has decided to do it. So I'm not saying it's unconstitutional for states to determine how they want there to design how the Electoral College votes will be cast. But what I am saying is that trying to circumvent the Electoral College by signing on to a National Popular Vote compact is an in run around the Constitution. Because you're basically amending the intended and express purposes of Constitution without actually amending the Constitution. That's what I'm saying. So I wanted to explain that to people and it's vitally important, vitally important for Virginians to understand that as you're going to vote Tuesday next week. And I'm doing this because we've been spending a lot of time on international issues lately, but I thought it was important to spend some time on some domestic issues and that's one of them. And it's a very important one. Now I know that the whole gerrymandering thing, it cuts both ways. I understand that. But what I'm hoping that you begin to realize the span burger tactic is being employed, employed over and over and over and over and over again. And the American people continue to fall for it. Continue to fall for it.
Spain is moving to legalize 500,000 formerly Muslim, formerly illegal alien Muslims
Have a couple other things that I want to get to here now. I want to toggle over to some international issues. And this, this just broke really yesterday in Spain. They have basically a socialist government. Spain's prime minister, I believe his name is Sanchez, just announced that they are moving to legalize 500,000 formerly Muslim, formerly illegal alien Muslims in the state, in the nation, I'm sorry, of Spain. Now the significance of this is because Spain is a part of the European Union. And what happens in Spain has the potential to impact all of the European Union as well as England, the eu, because they have what they call the Shenzhen Zone. I, may. May be mispronouncing that the Shenzhen zone, the Shenzhen area within the eu. What that means is that if Spain legalizes their illegal aliens, then those illegal aliens can, and hear me clearly here, settle permanently in any EU country after five years. Permanently. Now, just doing a little bit of history. Remember we had Bill Federer on. He explained how, historically, the Muslims invaded Spain and occupied Spain for almost seven centuries. Seven centuries. And there are people who talk about the Crusades, but they always decontextualize Crusades. And no doubt about it, there were horrors, egregious evils that occurred during the Crusades. But you know what people usually leave out that the Crusades were a response to the Ottoman caliphate. They usually leave that out of the conversation. They act as if, well, you know what? You had a bunch of people that had nothing better to do, and they're sitting around with cross on their chest. You know what they decide? They want to wake up and go kill a bunch of people. That's the way to try to explain the Crusades. They don't explain the Crusades as a response to Muslim conquest and colonialism. They don't explain it that way. And I've said before, and we talk about this before, this is not an effort to indict all Muslims and things of that nature, but the history tells a story that's being repeated right now. That's being repeated right now. In many ways. I have a clip from Tommy Robinson. Some of you may be familiar with him. He's an activist in England and he's been jailed because of the hate speech laws and all kinds of things. And he's like, man, I'm just trying to tell the truth, to warn our people and really try to warn Americans to wake up before it's too late for you here. But he just talks about. This clip is gonna talk about how, rape has ascended as a result of Islamic migration in Europe and the uk. Listen to and watch clip number four. this is him on Tim Pool's podcast. This is Tommy Robinson. Clip number four. Go.
Speaker G Yeah, they're not here to work. They're not here to assimilate or integrate. They're here to dominate. And that's not every Muslim. Yeah, but the per se, you have to look at the broad numbers. And I'll give you some numbers. In the UK, Muslim men make up 3% of the population. They're responsible for 90 of the convictions for rape gangs, 90 from a 3% population. Now, 30% of the men convicted are called Muhammad. If you go to Sweden, 63% of the rapes Muslim migrants. There's about 15 Muslim population, but 63% of the rapes. Paris, 77% of the rapes are Muslim migrants. Austria, 48% of the rapes are Muslim migrants. Germany, 58% of the rapes are Muslim migrants. Now, all the. Oh, God. All these things are migration and immigration is meant to benefit the nation. So if we look in Germany since Angela Merkel. I just said 58% of the rapes are German are foreign national Muslim migrants. 11% of the rapes in that country last year were by Syrian nationals. They're from Syria. Their passports from Syria. They're born in Syria. They've been brought into the country. We're told Germans are told to for diversity. It's not for diversity. You opened your borders. You let a million men and you didn't know who they were. Just look at the rape statistics that have gone up from 2017 to 2022. The rapes have gone up 45% in, in Germany. In the UK, 2023 to 2023, our rates went from 8,800 to 88,000 in a 28,000 rapes. And that, that's gone from 8,000 to 8,000.
Abraham Hamilton III 88,000.
Speaker G 88,000. Now you take that same. You take that same statistic and go another 20 years. You're talking a million rapes, 880,000 rapes and nothing's going to stop it. I'm nothing stopping it. They're not stopping it. The men that are coming in are hostile. 20. An Afghani is 22 times more likely to commit a sexual assault and rape in Britain than any other nationality than British nationality. Why are they coming in?
Abraham Hamilton III There has to be an honest assessment about it. And one of the major questions is whether or not that conduct is a violation of what is taught in the Hadith in the Quran or is it consistent with it? We have to have an honest conversation about it. Y' all have a great evening. The views and opinions expressed in this broadcast may not necessarily reflect those of the American Family association or American Family Radio.
Hamilton: God has called us to be ambassadors even in this dark moment
Abraham Hamilton III Darkness is not an affirmative force. It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.
Abraham Hamilton III This is the, Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
Abraham Hamilton III It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite, delivering people
Abraham Hamilton III out of the bondage of mainstream media and the philosophies of this world.
Abraham Hamilton III God has called you and me to be his ambassadors, even in this dark moment. Let's not miss our moment.
Abraham Hamilton III And, now, the Hamilton Corner.
Abraham Hamilton III Good evening, everybody.
Welcome to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio
Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio. I'm your host, Abraham Hamilton iii. Grateful to be with you again. I'm joined by the Corner contingent right across from me. My man, 100 grand, Mr. Bobby Rosa is in the studio behind the board and in the screening room. Producer extraordinaire. Often imitated, never duplicated. The real J. Mack. Ladies and gentlemen, we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program.
What goes on in your home is more important than what's going on in Washington
So much, so much is happening, that it really is, it can be overwhelming when you're talking about the foolishness du jour. I mean, it is, it can be overwhelming. But that's why I endeavor to remind you, as I do every day. And it's also a reminder to myself that what goes on in your house is more important than what's going on in the White House. Because you and I are directly responsible for what happens in our homes at this very moment. Many of you, if not most of you, are making your transition from your part time jobs where you generate an income, to your full time jobs where you cultivate an outcome. And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality, understanding the primacy that God places on family and welcoming that, to govern, to guard, and to guide your engagements. I understand exactly what I said. Just like you, I have bills to pay. I have children that eat every day. You know, I'm like, can y' all skip a day or two? They're like, no, daddy, I need my Cocoa Puffs today, just like I did yesterday. but I'm inviting you to recalibrate your thinking. Because income generation is a part of what we do, but it's not synonymous with our identities. Our identity should be connected to outcome cultivation. The responsibility of the believer is to be a disciple maker, not merely a convert, but a disciple maker. And the first iteration of that is our homes. The world works over time to stretch us, to strain us, to cause us to have attention and emotional investment everywhere else. And we leave our families just to pick up the pieces, of a day's worth of leftovers. And I want to encourage you to reverse that. To be intentional about the time we spend with our families, to be intentional about the opportunities that we have with our families, to recognize that the family is God's primary institution for generational kingdom building. It's the primary one. That's why no matter what the situation is, mental health professionals always begin with, tell me about your relationship with your father. For good, bad or worse, Good, bad or indifferent, it always starts there. Because God has designed it, designed us, frankly, so that fathers have an outsized and enduring impact upon our children. You can read sociological study after sociological study. That's why you see, you know, 70, 80 year old men, talking about their relationship with their fathers, because God designed it that way. So we will either intentionally utilize God's design or we will neglect our way into something we really, truly do not want. And frankly, there is no middle ground there. Now, I understand that we have, many different people at various life stages. We have people in various iterations. Some of you are like me. Many of you are like me. I'm in this stage where I have young children still in my home. Some of you may be grandparents. And you guys have heard me say many times, some of you may be great grandparents. We need all hands on deck. And if we would allow the Lord to transform us within our families, there's no question as to what can happen in our nation. So as you're making your transition, I simply want to remind you, don't forget what's going on in your home. In fact, reverse the world trend to cause you to give significance and import to everything else but our families. Let's reverse that. To the word of God we go.
David Frum: We need to be wary about relying too heavily on military confidence
I want to return to Psalm chapter 20. I'm going go, to another verse, deeper into the Psalm than I did the last time we navigated this text, by way of reminder, Psalm 20 comes to us chronologically, from King David. He was the author of Psalm 20. But, it follows the events that are recorded in 2nd Samuel chapter 10 and 1st Chronicles chapter 19. In 2nd Samuel 10 and 1 Chronicles chapter 19, it's recorded there that Israel was at war against two nations simultaneously. it was Syria and Ammonia who had come against, come against King David and the nation of Israel. And one of the things you'll find when you read those chapters, 2nd Samuel 10 and 1 Chronicles 19, you'll find that the Syrians at that juncture had a military weaponry advantage. They had the innovation of chariots and they had a massive amount of horsemen. All right. It specifically refers to 700 charioteers and 40,000 horsemen, which is to be contrasted with foot soldiers. So you have 40,000 horsemen and chariots. You have a lot more mobility, a lot more thrust, if you will, if you're going against foot soldiers only. And that is the contextual backdrop for this psalm. And I want to zoom in to verses six through eight in the psalm. And remember, David is the one who wrote the psalm, and he says this. Now, I know that the Lord saves his anointing. He will answer him from his holy heaven with the saving might of his right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand upright. Now, this psalm truly leaps from the page when you factor in the historical reality that David is expressing this. Is expressing this after having contended with Assyrian Ammonite, tandem, national tandem, that thought that they had the upper hand. They thought they had the upper hand because they had placed massive confidence in their military innovation. They played. Placed massive confidence in, well, we have tanks and you don't. They placed. They placed massive confidence in the fact that they had a slew of horsemen, that they were not confined to foot soldiers for battle. Yet. Yet the Lord, in his divine providence and in his sovereignty, empowered David and the nation of Israel to be victorious. And when we turned to this passage before I mentioned it, in light of the necessity of never getting too big for your britches. That's what my dad used to say all the time. Never getting too big for your britches. I don't want anybody to take from this something, that I am not intending to communicate. I am grateful, and I said this when I talked about this earlier this week. I'm grateful that the United States of America has the most potent military in the entire world. That is an objective fact. That is an objective fact. But we need to be very wary about making the fact about our military prowess as the fulcrum of our confidence. We need to be very wary of having in God we trust in our Federal Reserve notes and on our legal tender. But the truth is, the practical reality is in our military we trust, or in our, you know, our gdp we trust. Our ghost domestic product we trust. Because the scripture is replete from Genesis on through revelation, with the reality that God rules and reigns in the affairs of men. Our national history, the United States of America. As we are approaching the celebration of the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence this July. Right. At that time, the global preeminent military superpower were the redcoats in England. King George thought everything was sweet, nothing could come his way because who can get at the Red Coats? This is what he thought. This is what he thought. And because of the reality of human reality of human nature and you add into it. I know I would definitely argue this. In this day and age with the inundation with information, we need to be very careful about, that we do not misconstrue readily access to information with ready access to wisdom. Because right now we have people that have access to information. At the click of a button, you pick up one of these pocket rocket computers. You know, they call them phones, even though most people don't even call with them. They do more texting and calling. But this, this is a pocket rocket supercomputer. You know, many of you like, like I've shared the story before. When I was in college, we had to go to the computer lab to use computers. And the computer and the processing capacity in these pocket rockets exceed what most of us experienced in college. Now these younger generations, they're digital natives. But we should not misconstrue ready access to information with wisdom because it ain't the same. And we have such an inundation of information. We have people who are, who are topically aware of a whole bunch of stuff but don't really have any expertise in anything in particular. Doesn't really delve into the depths of too much things. It's kind of the click and scroll phenomenon. That is overwhelmed modern society.
Joseph Parker: Excellence should be the standard for those who are in Christ
But getting back to the text where I concluded in verse eight, it says they collapse and fall. Who is they? It's the they who has placed their, their confidence, who has made their boast in the chariots? It's the they who's made their boast in the Horsemen. Those are the ones who collapse and fall. And David contrasts that with. But we rise and stand upright. Who is the we? Those who place our trust in the name of our Lord. We're in an, we're in a time period. You know, we have people that have expertise in various areas and absolutely study to show yourself, to prove. The scripture says as a workman worthy of. Worthy, to rightly divide the word of truth. But in particular disciplines. If you have a vocational discipline, you know, if you're a craftsman, you are an artisan, you know, you, you are a professional of some other sort, you should be excell. Especially if you're a Christ. Follower. Because we do everything that we do heartily as unto the Lord and not unto men. Excellence should be the standard for those who are in Christ. But our pursuit of excellence is not about self aggrandizement. Our pursuit of excellence is not so we can pound our chest and look down our noses at other people to look askance at them to say, you need to get up to my level. But that's not what we do. Because we understand what the apostle James said, That God opposes the proud. But God gives grace to the humble. We cannot afford. Even in the era of modernity, even with technological innovation, even with military supremacy, even with, the largest GDP in the, in the world, those things should never be our fulcrum of confidence. Certainly we need to be able to observe facts. Certainly we should state facts. But we should recognize all good and perfect gifts come from the Father of Lights. I never forget. I. I've told this story in different places. I don't think I've ever told the story on the radio. Many of you guys know, I never, never knew, never even intended to be on the radio. But I was in law school when Hurricane Katrina hit NewSong Orleans. And I honestly, I never thought I would leave NewSong Orleans. I never thought I would practice law anywhere else. Because when I was in law school, I studied only the Napoleonic Code. And I. I applied to take the bar exam in Louisiana prior to Hurricane Katrina coming. You know, then Hurricane Katrina hits. And here's another thing. I actually had a job solidified at a law firm in NewSong Orleans prior to Hurricane Katrina. Well, in a moment's notice, in one weekend, everything I thought my life would consist of was blown away. In one weekend. I called the Louisiana State Bar to confirm that I would still be able to sit for the bar exam that summer. They regrettably informed me. Mr. Hamilton, I am sorry to inform you, but we had, we had massive flooding and we have no record of your application for the bar exam. Should you still desire to sit for the Louisiana bar exam, you're going to have to wait an entire cycle. I would have to wait until the next year to take the test. And many of you know the rest of the story. God used that to thrust me to Texas. I ended up having to learn, Texas law in two months and take the Texas bar exam. And the rest of the story. Well, but my point is that I had an entire perspective what my life was going to consist of. And just like that, everything changed. My simple encouragement is to remind you that, especially when you're successful as that's commonly understood that you cannot afford to be lifted up in pride because God opposes the pride that opposes the proud. This applies to individual, this applies to individuals, but it also applies to nations. May God grace our nation to be a nation where confidence is also connected with God driven humility. A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.
Joseph Parker Genesis is a wonderful, powerful and supernatural book. It's the book that begins to answer our questions about God. People ask many questions about life, real questions that they wish to get answers for. Questions such as where did we come from? Who created us? Who created the world? Who created the universe? What is the purpose of life? These are only a few of many legitimate questions that people often ask. If you'd ask many scientists in our culture today, what are some of your main goals and what is your purpose in studying science? We're trying to find out who we are and where we came m from. The word of God has answers. Many, many answers. It's God's word that gives us answers to all of our questions. He of course has answers that no one else would even begin to have.

April 15th is tax day all across the country
All right. Some of you might have heard I was on, today's issues for a little while earlier this morning and I alluded to this. I wanted to share, a little bit more in a bit more detail, what I alluded to because this is April 15th and this is tax day all across the country. And it's sad that so many people in our nation, they look forward to tax day, unfortunately, because they expect to get refunds. And for the most part, what some don't understand is that when you get a refund, it's because you basically provided an interest free loan to the government for an entire year. And they're not giving you something, because of their so gracious, they're really giving you your money back that they forcibly borrowed from you. And I'm not laughing because it's funny. I am. It's one of those things you laugh to keep from crying kind of thing. because like, I was. Many of you were. Well, not many of you, all of you were born into. Unless there's some very, very seasoned saints listening to the show today. The majority of us were born into an era to where a federal income tax has just been the norm. And it's one thing when there is something that's been normative, but we don't understand. There's a history that precedes what we think is normative. But the reality of Tax Day is brought to you by Regressives R Us. That that's just the reality is brought to you by Regressives R Us. What most people may not be aware of, the federal income tax coincided with the passage and the signing into law of the Federal Reserve act, which was. Initially tried and failed in 1910, but it ultimately was passed in 1913 and signed into law by none other than, you guessed it, Woodrow Wilson, one of, if not the worst president in American history. The Federal Reserve act was signed into law December 23, 1913. Just, just marinate on that for a bit. Signed into law December 23, 1913. Now you ask. Let me ask you a question. Do you think there was great intention for the citizens of the United States of America to be able to, consider, well, what had just been signed into law, if it was signed into law two days before the national Christmas holiday, you, you think there was great intention for that? Yeah. December 23rd, 1913. One of the things that coincided with the legislative Package that culminated in the Federal Reserve act, which was the act that as I mentioned, created the Internal Revenue Service. The Internal Revenue Service was created to facilitate the 16th Amendment. What is the 16th Amendment? The 16th Amendment is the amendment that allowed for the first time a direct taxation on the income generating capacity of the American citizens. The 16th Amendment, which was adopted February 25, 1913, says this quote, the Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes from whatever source derived without apportionment among the several states and without regard to any census or enumeration. Now, one of the things that I want to say on the ONSET when the 16th Amendment was initially passed, what was presented to the American people, and stop me if you heard this before, was that the federal income tax would only be a, soak the rich tax, that the federal income tax will only affect the top 1% of wage earners. Have y' all heard that before? Have y' all heard that before? Bobby, look at Jeff got his hood on. Bobby, look at him, he cold. I'm sorry, I got distracted. I gotta have more crap though. The federal income tax was presented to the American people as if it was only going to be a tax against a tax upon the 1% of wage earners in the country. Do y' all want to see who's paying income taxes now? Well, is it the top 1% of wage earners that are paying a federal income tax? And I want to state something, if something is wrong, principally if it affects the top 1% of age wage earners or not, because then you had the inclusion, which was a part of the design from the very beginning for there to be a progressive income tax. Have you heard that terminology, that the more revenue you generate, the higher tax will be because it was the mechanism for the redistribution wealth. And so, as often as I can, I want to remind people that this was not. The federal income tax has not been a staple of the American experience, let alone system of government. It's something that was created during and installed during the Progressive era, which I call the Revolution era. If you examine the reality of capital formation in our country at the individual level, even at the banking level, one of the most immediate things that has transpired is that it is the primary vehicle that has transformed the United States of America from a capital formation nation to a debtor nation. When the Federal Reserve act was passed, 90 plus percent of the American populace was 100% debt free. 100%. Since the passage of the Federal Reserve, that's actually been reversed almost identically. It's one of those things. Theft is theft, whether it's committed by an individual or if it's committed by the government. One of the most pernicious forms of theft is the invisible tax that is described as inflation. Many of you, even on your jobs, you have what they call cola. Cost of living increases to where inflation is treated as if it is an inescapable automatic reality. When the truth is that inflation is the product of debt, consumption, fiscal policies. That's just the truth. And so I just wanted to take a moment to remind you of that because when you see these notions repeated, it's not anything new. It's rinse and repeat. Oh, we need to tax the rich. We need to do this. And people say tax the rich and they don't even consider, who pays income taxes now? Who pays the overwhelming majority of income taxes now. And you have the phenomenon, and we talked about it before, like NewSong York governors. Kathi Hochul is basically crying for what she said. Rich, NewSong Yorkers to move back to NewSong York because they need your tax revenue. Because you have all of these policies, you know, like the Islamian is Mamdani's, city owned grocery stores. I'm sure that's going to work. Well, it's going to be the DMV applied to produce. Surely that won't go wrong. Won't be anything wrong there. I just wanted to present this so people can have a better understanding of how these things unfold. And these are not benign, innocent ideas. They always have a motivation, they always have a, result. And then you have that combined with the revelations of fraud that are transpiring around our country. And a lot of it was exposed by Nick Shirley in Minnesota and in other places. That that fraud once again is brought to you by regressors because the fraud wouldn't be possible without the massive tax revenue that is forcibly confiscated from the American citizens. And you think about it, the billions of dollars, and I have story after story right now. I can show you people, illegal aliens and others they're driving like Mercedes Benzes and other things, while you have others that are hardworking, working feverishly to provide for their families. They don't own those things. And it's amazing that we can't, or should I say we have not, sought to crush the fraud, to stamp out the fraud, but let you or I try to escape our federal tax bills and see what happens. You know what I'm saying? And listen, y' all know, I'm an equal opportunity truth Teller. It boggles my mind. And Representative Tim Burchett from Tennessee said this. It boggles my mind how quickly the Doge cuts in the conversations around the Department of Government Efficiency completely went away. Have y' all noticed that? And what did Representative Tim Burchett say? Tim Burchett said elon Musk better move as fast as he can, because if he don't move fast enough, what you're going to find is you're going to have dirt in members of both primary political parties. And because of that bipartisan, also known as uni party, willingness to allow the scams to continue, because many of those people are beneficiaries of the scams, they're going to shut it down. And what's happened?
Eduardo: It makes me sick to think about congressional sexual harassment fund
Do you hear anybody talking about Doge now, other than me? Hmm? Anybody? Doge cuts? Any of that? Any of that has been codified? Nah, nah, it's not being codified. Those things, those scams, those federal fraud. Federal fraud. And you have the congressional slush fund to pay out, sexual assault and harassment claims. You know, like I talked earlier this week about Representative Swalwell resigning from Congress and then, oh, Tony Gonzalez resigns from Congress as well. And it's represented as if both of those things happened contemporaneously. No, they didn't happen. But do you think anybody in D.C. was surprised about Swalwell? You know, Fang Fang. And this is honestly one of the major reasons why the Epstein saga remains an outsized, notion in the minds of many of the American citizens. Because the idea of having people in positions of power who are compromised because of their hedonistic and, let's just say it this way, abhorrent and deviant sexual lifestyles, that they're easy to manipulate and control. You think anybody was surprised about Swalwell? But what, what happened? Swalwell just became a PR problem, but nobody in D.C. is surprised about it. So much so that there is, and I have this in my stack. Representative Anna Paulina Luna was. Posted this and, honestly made me sick in my stomach. She posted it, posted this today. This morning at 11:14am she put, quote, a friendly reminder that House Oversight subpoenaed the records of the congressional sexual harassment slush fund and we will be releasing them. Maybe we'll see more resignations, you never know. Hashtag trash day. That's probably true, but can I tell you something? It makes me sick to my stomach that everybody knows there's a congressional slush fund to pay harassment claims. You know what, you know where the funds come from tax day, April 14th. It's been around forever. Spin around Bobby saying it's been around forever. It has been around forever. It has been around forever. But we just wink and nod and go on. And people in Congress and how many times these are the types of things. How many times there are people that are elected and you're like, man, these people were so committed when they were elected. Then they get to D.C. it's like they get this Potomac fever. What happens? It's disgusting. Reading Representative Paulina Luna's X tweet post, whatever you want to call it now. I'm sorry, Elon. It's a tweet, bro. I'm sorry. You can't call. What are you going to call it? An X? They can't call it an X. It's a tweet. It made me nauseous. It made me nauseous because it made me think about all these people knew about Swalwell. His staffers are the ones that accused him publicly first of criminal sexual assault, people that worked for him. And then you rewind the tape a little bit. Don't you recall he was one of the main ones trying to go in on Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing? Remember that? But he goes from that to all of these other things as the allegations include. And it's just disgusting. And you see that it's a bipartisan cesspool because you have the Tony, Gonzalez situation, which, this is a new. The, the, the. The adulterous affair happened, several years ago. And then when the woman who had the affair with him committed suicide, then it became a bigger issue. But the adultery really was a non issue for the people in D.C. dC primarily. So it just, it's just one of those things that's sickening to consider. But this is what I. This is where I want to come to rest. That all that fraud and the. The slush fund is created by your tax dollars in mind and to truly consider whether or not this utter smut that abounds in a soft thing called ugly Hollywood. They call D.C. ugly Hollywood. That abounds in ugly Hollywood. Is that a reflection of the smut that abounds in our society? Isaiah said, the whole head is sick.

Joseph Parker Advisors must be faithful. This is David Wheaton, host of the Christian Worldview. Rulers have always surrounded themselves with spiritual advisors in the hope they will receive wisdom from God or the gods. The Egyptian pharaoh had his wise men and sorcerers. The kings of Judah and Israel had their prophets and priests. President Trump has his own White House faith Office of Religious Advisors led by prosperity preacher Paula White Cain, which also includes evangelical leaders Franklin Graham and Robert Jeffress. The most important issue is that the faith advisor followed the example of the Old Testament prophet Micaiah, who said, as the Lord lives, what the Lord says to me that I shall speak. hear our most recent program on this [email protected] and then join us this weekend for another topic that will sharpen your worldview.

Abraham Hamilton III: Virginia will change the way it allocates electoral votes
Abraham Hamilton III Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here. Another thing I wanted to clear up, or should I say expound upon a bit further, from, my TI interview earlier was this national popular vote compact. I hope Virginians understand just how much they were duped by now. I mean, the former CIA agent, now Virginia Governor Abigail Spamberger. What's one of the things the CIA is known for, Mr. M. Arrosa? Misdirection. Lying. Lying. We not give you the professional description he's about to say. He said misdirection in subterfuge, not lying. That what they're known for. They lie. They lie like a rug. They lie. Known to lie. Campaigned as a, quote, unquote, moderate. As soon as she was sworn in, the mask is off, you know, and because they have, unanimous government among the regressives in Virginia, they rammed through. You know, you take your pick. What's the spooky dude named George Soros? It was, it was, it was the George Soros Buffet line. You know the George Soros Buffet line. Some of y' all listening to me. Remember this. When I was a young, young man and a little boy growing up in NewSong Orleans, they had a furniture store, and the dude was called the Special Man. You want to buy furniture, you go see the Special Man. The Special man would say, let him have it. Let him have it. That's what Spamberger is saying to George Soros. Let him have it. Whatever he wants, that's what he gets. That's what he gets. And that's been a tactic that's been employed all over the country in contested areas to where those who would be regressive, hey, just say you're moderate. Just say it. Which shows you the utter contempt they have for the American populace because the assumption is, oh, nobody's gonna check. You can just say whatever you want to say about yourself. Nobody's gonna try to verify whether or not it's true. But if you used I voter guide, you would have known. Now, she's lying. That's not who she is. That being said, amongst the legislation that she signed, one of the major things. Virginians, if you, if you're listening, I know we have a contingent, a significant audience in Virginia. You, have an election coming up next week, Virginia 21st. I'm sorry, April 21st, to where you're going to be voting on Governor Spamberger's signed seal deliver redistricting plan. And though the state of Virginia is considered on a purple state in terms of its makeup, Spamberger's redistricting plan will completely decimate any prospect of there being a, balance of representation in terms of congressional representation. From there, the Virginia congressional delegation will look just like a state legislature if Spamberger's plan passes. But in addition to that, she just signed into law, it just happened, that Virginia will now change the way they allocate their electoral votes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They've signed on to the, the National Popular Vote Compact. Now, I want to be clear about something. The National Popular Vote Compact has a trigger, a conditional trigger that only comes into effect if there are enough signatories to the compact to represent 270 electoral votes, which is the number of electoral votes that's necessary for a candidate for the presidency to be elected President of the United States by the Electoral College. Virginia has 13 electoral votes as it stands currently in order for a candidate. Well, should I say as it stood prior to the change, and prior to, as it stands currently, until the change goes into effect, and that will require another 48 electoral votes to join the National Popular Vote Compact. but as it stands currently, the way that Virginians vote in the state, whoever wins the majority of votes in the state, that's how the state casts its Electoral College votes. But with Virginia, Virginia entering the National Popular Vote Compact, what they're saying, even if the Virginians in the state, let's say, vote for a Republican presidential candidate, the Virginians vote will not matter if the national popular vote favors the Democrat candidate. So the National Popular Vote Compact literally has within it the capacity to absolutely nullify Virginia's votes for the presidency as long as enough Californians and NewSong Yorkers and citizens in Illinois, if they all decide they want a candidate other than who the Virginians want, Abigail Spamberger, just down the law that says that we are going to cast our Electoral College votes according to the votes of other people. That's what she's agreed to do. Now, the whole purpose, and this is why you have to study history for yourself, because people will try to offer a revisionist idea concerning, the purpose for the Electoral College. The purpose of the Electoral College, from its very genesis, was to require the chief executive of the federal government to be elected by a cross section of citizens in the entire United States of America. The debate, and you can read this for yourself, read the Federalist Papers, read James Madison's notes on the Constitutional Convention. The debate was, how do we balance the interests of a large state at the time, like NewSong York, against those of a smaller state like Rhode island, like Maine? How do we balance the interest of large population centers alongside those of smaller population centers? So the conclusion in the 1787 Constitutional Convention was that it was not sufficient to simply rely on a popular vote. Because if a popular vote is all that was necessary, then candidates for the office of the presidency would only have to win. Urban population centers. Project out population. Today you literally could have a candidate. If they win California, they win NewSong York, pick one or two other states. They don't even have to go to another state to win because we have other states with large land masses, but the population isn't the same. But the National Popular Vote Compact is an end run around the wisdom of the Electoral College. And I mention it, if you want to talk about regressive ideology, can you imagine a more regressive notion than to say That I am willing as the governor of my state to say that I want to sign on to an agreement that even if my state votes against what other states want, we will cast our state's entire Electoral College ballot slate according to what other states do. Now, I want to be clear about something. The Electoral College, the Constitution grants to each state the lawful authority to determine how they're going to use their electoral votes. So the majority of the states right now says whoever wins our state, that's who gets our Electoral College votes. States like Nebraska do it a little bit differently. They allow for a circumstance where you can win individual congressional districts and you can get an additional set of Electoral College votes depending on your performance in the entire state. That's how Nebraska has decided to do it. So I'm not saying it's unconstitutional for states to determine how they want there to design how the Electoral College votes will be cast. But what I am saying is that trying to circumvent the Electoral College by signing on to a National Popular Vote compact is an in run around the Constitution. Because you're basically amending the intended and express purposes of Constitution without actually amending the Constitution. That's what I'm saying. So I wanted to explain that to people and it's vitally important, vitally important for Virginians to understand that as you're going to vote Tuesday next week. And I'm doing this because we've been spending a lot of time on international issues lately, but I thought it was important to spend some time on some domestic issues and that's one of them. And it's a very important one. Now I know that the whole gerrymandering thing, it cuts both ways. I understand that. But what I'm hoping that you begin to realize the span burger tactic is being employed, employed over and over and over and over and over again. And the American people continue to fall for it. Continue to fall for it.
Spain is moving to legalize 500,000 formerly Muslim, formerly illegal alien Muslims
Have a couple other things that I want to get to here now. I want to toggle over to some international issues. And this, this just broke really yesterday in Spain. They have basically a socialist government. Spain's prime minister, I believe his name is Sanchez, just announced that they are moving to legalize 500,000 formerly Muslim, formerly illegal alien Muslims in the state, in the nation, I'm sorry, of Spain. Now the significance of this is because Spain is a part of the European Union. And what happens in Spain has the potential to impact all of the European Union as well as England, the eu, because they have what they call the Shenzhen Zone. I, may. May be mispronouncing that the Shenzhen zone, the Shenzhen area within the eu. What that means is that if Spain legalizes their illegal aliens, then those illegal aliens can, and hear me clearly here, settle permanently in any EU country after five years. Permanently. Now, just doing a little bit of history. Remember we had Bill Federer on. He explained how, historically, the Muslims invaded Spain and occupied Spain for almost seven centuries. Seven centuries. And there are people who talk about the Crusades, but they always decontextualize Crusades. And no doubt about it, there were horrors, egregious evils that occurred during the Crusades. But you know what people usually leave out that the Crusades were a response to the Ottoman caliphate. They usually leave that out of the conversation. They act as if, well, you know what? You had a bunch of people that had nothing better to do, and they're sitting around with cross on their chest. You know what they decide? They want to wake up and go kill a bunch of people. That's the way to try to explain the Crusades. They don't explain the Crusades as a response to Muslim conquest and colonialism. They don't explain it that way. And I've said before, and we talk about this before, this is not an effort to indict all Muslims and things of that nature, but the history tells a story that's being repeated right now. That's being repeated right now. In many ways. I have a clip from Tommy Robinson. Some of you may be familiar with him. He's an activist in England and he's been jailed because of the hate speech laws and all kinds of things. And he's like, man, I'm just trying to tell the truth, to warn our people and really try to warn Americans to wake up before it's too late for you here. But he just talks about. This clip is gonna talk about how, rape has ascended as a result of Islamic migration in Europe and the uk. Listen to and watch clip number four. this is him on Tim Pool's podcast. This is Tommy Robinson. Clip number four. Go.
Speaker G Yeah, they're not here to work. They're not here to assimilate or integrate. They're here to dominate. And that's not every Muslim. Yeah, but the per se, you have to look at the broad numbers. And I'll give you some numbers. In the UK, Muslim men make up 3% of the population. They're responsible for 90 of the convictions for rape gangs, 90 from a 3% population. Now, 30% of the men convicted are called Muhammad. If you go to Sweden, 63% of the rapes Muslim migrants. There's about 15 Muslim population, but 63% of the rapes. Paris, 77% of the rapes are Muslim migrants. Austria, 48% of the rapes are Muslim migrants. Germany, 58% of the rapes are Muslim migrants. Now, all the. Oh, God. All these things are migration and immigration is meant to benefit the nation. So if we look in Germany since Angela Merkel. I just said 58% of the rapes are German are foreign national Muslim migrants. 11% of the rapes in that country last year were by Syrian nationals. They're from Syria. Their passports from Syria. They're born in Syria. They've been brought into the country. We're told Germans are told to for diversity. It's not for diversity. You opened your borders. You let a million men and you didn't know who they were. Just look at the rape statistics that have gone up from 2017 to 2022. The rapes have gone up 45% in, in Germany. In the UK, 2023 to 2023, our rates went from 8,800 to 88,000 in a 28,000 rapes. And that, that's gone from 8,000 to 8,000.
Abraham Hamilton III 88,000.
Speaker G 88,000. Now you take that same. You take that same statistic and go another 20 years. You're talking a million rapes, 880,000 rapes and nothing's going to stop it. I'm nothing stopping it. They're not stopping it. The men that are coming in are hostile. 20. An Afghani is 22 times more likely to commit a sexual assault and rape in Britain than any other nationality than British nationality. Why are they coming in?
Abraham Hamilton III There has to be an honest assessment about it. And one of the major questions is whether or not that conduct is a violation of what is taught in the Hadith in the Quran or is it consistent with it? We have to have an honest conversation about it.
