Opening Reflections Call Believers To Shine In Darkness

Abraham Hamilton III It should be uncomfortable for a believer

Abraham Hamilton III has called you
Abraham Hamilton III and me to be his ambassador even in this dark moment. Let's not miss our moment.
Abraham Hamilton III And, now the, Hamilton M Corner.
Abraham Hamilton III Good evening everyone. Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio. I'm your host, Abraham Hamilton iii, joined by the corner contingent right across from me, our friendly neighborhood woodaholic, Mr. Marty Sparks, lighting up the dark from behind the board. And we have producer extraordinaire, often imitated, never duplicated. The real J. Mac is in the screening room and we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program.
Parents Must Lead Discipleship And Resist Cultural Indoctrination
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 his view to govern your view and your engagement. And you embrace the reality that what goes on in your house is far more important than, than what goes on in the White House. And I say that not to denigrate or minimize the significance of what transpires in the White House, but to emphasize appropriately the significance of what happens in your home. And in my home, we have the expressed opportunity every single day to be a part of building God's kingdom by executing his commission starting right in, in our own homes. So as you are making your transition, I want to encourage you and challenge you to resolve it in yourself that if you have not done so before, let today be the day where you are found exalting the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, starting right in your own homes. You take seriously the biblical command, if you have young children in your home, just like I have, at this stage of my life, I'm in that life stage that you take seriously God's command to you and to me to make disciples of his heritage, that one of the great, sources of negligence and the great misses that has transpired, frankly in our nation is that we've kind of become so accustomed to outsourcing the discipleship responsibility, not recognizing that God has graced you and me as parents with the grace and the anointing that we need to pour into our children to evangelize them, to catechize them, and to make disciples, in our own homes. So this is something we have to embrace. And I said it before, and I'll say it again, if we would welcome the Lord to grasp ahold of us in our homes, there's no question as to what could happen in society. But if you look at what's transpiring in society, they correspond, that it corresponds to a retrenchment in the family. I was looking at a Rasmussen poll today, and it's, 18 to 25 year olds, over 43% of them have a favorable view of Sharia law, to which I would say, wait a minute, now, where did they get that from? First of all, these are American young adults. They're not Muslims. They don't really know the details of what Sharia law is functionally and practically. But what's happened is we live in a society where, as Justice Steven Breyer said, the primary institution, responsible for transmitting the values upon which our society rests is the government education system. And they've been transmitting values that say, well, you need to lift up anybody that is perceived as marginalized or as discriminated against. And so many of these young people think that they are, they're valorous, that they are, they are doing the Lord's work by saying that if you have an issue with Sharia law, well, that's just an exercise in Islamophobia. And I hate to tell you, I don't hate to tell you, but I hate that it exists. I hate that it exists that many of these young people really believe these types of things because they have been discipled to believe it. They've been discipled to believe it in their government instruction, government indoctrination complexes. They have been discipled to believe these things and have these perspectives and opinions, and they have not been confronted with the truth. They have not done a deep dive into what Sharia law, is. They don't know anything about the Islamic Revolution of 1979. They don't know anything about the Barbary wars, the United States of America. They don't know anything about any of those things yet. They are passionately misinformed. That's a feature of discipleship.
Second Peter Urges Fruitfulness Even Amid Persecution
To the word of God we go. Second Peter, chapter one. Two Peter, chapter one. I want to read this and I want to remind you that this is written in the mid-60s A.D. as, appreciable, overt hostile persecution against the Lord's church was emerging under Nero in the Roman Empire. Yet the spirit of God, moved the apostle Peter to pen these words. And I'll start in verse one. Second. Peter, chapter one, verse one. And this is what God's word says. Simon Peter, a servant, a Doulos, an apostle of Jesus Christ. To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ. May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness. Through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue and virtue with knowledge and knowledge, with self control and self control. With steadfastness and steadfastness. With godliness and godliness. With brotherly affection and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Oh, man. What gripping, gripping, gripping text here. The Lord is conveying this through the apostle Peter, explaining that in light of the fact that all things pertaining to life and godliness has been provided for us through the knowledge of the Christ the Messiah. In light of that, our faith is not the end of the story. It's actually a foundation line that our faith must be supplemented with these various qualities. And one of the major things I want to point out to you once again, and to reiterate, reiterate, is that this is expressed in a time period where the church is being persecuted heavily. Nevertheless, God's expectation of his disciples is for them to be effective and fruitful, even in the face of a time of persecution. Well, to say it, in the opposite direction, that the fact that persecution was occurring did not provide for the believers in the first century, did. Did not provide them an excuse or justification for ineffectiveness and fruitlessness as believers. The simple reality is, folks, our assignment, in the Lord Jesus Christ doesn't change based upon the environmental circumstances or the cultural circumstances that surround us. And it's noteworthy that among the qualities that would fortify the believer from being barren and unproductive or ineffective and unfruitful is to seek his knowledge.
Diligent Study And Steadfastness Strengthen Christian Witness
You know, I was talking about this on today's issues earlier today. And, you know, Vanliere Jones is bragging about how basically they ran a psychological operation on the American population concerning, you know, affordability. Now, that's not to minimize people that are struggling in different ways. There are things that are, that are challenging right now, no doubt about it. And prices are higher than they have been, in recent times, no doubt about it. But the time period now, the economic circumstances are not radically different from what they were in 2022. Yet in 2022, there wasn't much conversation about affordability. Yet the conversation about affordability was happening, by the way, until last Tuesday. Since last Tuesday, how much have you heard about affordability? And what I'm saying is, instead of just taking some, you know, keyboard warrior's word for it, because you saw a post on Instagram, Face, instaface, Space my. We have the actual opportunity to look into the matter. We can look into the data, we can search ourselves and find the information. The people of God should be some of the most diligent and studious people that exist. And as a result of that, we should be able to direct people towards truth. It's also instructive that the Lord says through Apostle Peter, that if these qualities are yours and they're increasing, they're increasing, there's no such thing as I have arrived as a disciple of Jesus Christ. That we're consistently in a posture of striving, of learning, of growing more disciplined, more brotherly, kindness, more, love, more virtue, more steadfastness. And in a time where things are seemingly difficult, that is where the I say it this way. I heard a seasoned saint tell me one time, it's the seed you sow in the valley than normally produces the fruit you eat at the mountaintop. It is the ability for us to remain steadfast even in the face of difficulty that builds that muscle memory of steadfastness in us. And that is something we should aspire to at every life stage and in all circumstances. In not allowing the situation when, things are challenging to cause us to excuse ourselves from the biblical expectation of effectiveness and fruitfulness. The very potential for you and I to be believers, yet be rendered ineffective and unfruitful in our knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ should be a sobering consideration for us. Should be a sobering consideration. It is for me. It is for me. You know, I pray and I go before the Lord. I don't want to be known as someone who is perceived some way publicly and before the masses. But that perception is not accurate. When you ask My wife and my children. Man, that's wrong. Man, that's wrong. We should seek to have a consistency in witness most robustly amongst those who are closest to us.
Discipleship Requires Closeness And Governs Every Area Of Life
And this is a part of the reason why, you know, discipleship has kind of fallen out of favor. One, because of rebellion, as a general consideration. But two, discipleship requires a level of closeness. You really can't make disciples for real from a distance. You know, the person, your favorite person you following has, you know, got their, you know, insta face, grandpace, insta face picture with their Bible and a coffee mug on the side. You know, follow me with my devotions. You don't know if they read that. You don't know what they read. And I'm not saying that they didn't read it. I'm saying you literally, you just don't know. All you know is what they're presenting themselves as having done, as opposed to being able to sit right across the table from them and walk through the word of God with someone in interpersonal relationship. You know, in order for iron or sharpened iron, the iron, two iron sources have to come into contact. It has to come into contact. And so when, when you hear me continually saying the greatest and most desperate need in our country is repentance and, and for disciples to be made, I'm not talking about that. In a vacuum, when you make disciples, it is all of Christ, for all of life. The lordship of Jesus Christ governs every aspect of who we are. It governs my marriage. It governs the way I treat my wife. It governs the way I conduct myself when no one else is around physically but my Lord who is omnipresent is there with me. It governs the way I manage finances. It governs how I file my tax returns. It governs how I navigate my grocery store shopping list. It governs how I manage my budget. It is all of Christ for all of life. It governs how I engage as a citizen, as in this country. It governs every single thing. But what's happened, We've allowed in many instances the world to kind of, to compartmentalize our existence and say, well, you know, if you are a Christian, keep that over here. But if you dare allow that to impact how you live your life publicly, then you have all kind of names and majorities that lie about you. But if we focus on what is the result of being a disciple without making disciples, guys, it's, it's ah, a, it's a, it's a losing proposition. I'll say it that way. So when you consider passages like this in Second Peter, Chapter one, that in the face of overt hostile physical persecution, the Lord nevertheless sets the expectation for his people to be fruitful and effective in our knowledge of Him.

Veterans Day Honors Service And Recalls Armistice Day Origins
Well, today is Veterans Day. my father was a veteran of the United States Air Force. I want to thank all of our, military service members for your selfless service to our nation, standing in aiding us and preserving the freedoms that we've been able to enjoy in our nation, in such selfless sacrifice and devotion. I, want to say thank you to you personally and to all of you, who are tuning into the program. Thank you so much for your service. Just by way of reminder, sometimes we forget how these things transpired, but Veterans Day is the product of what was initially, called Armistice Day in relationship to World War I. And at the time, World War I was regarded as the Great War, which officially ended when the Treaty of versailles was signed June 28, 1919. But the reality is that it was, seven months before then when the fighting ceased in World War I via the Armistice, between the Allied nations in Germany. And it went into effect on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. And for that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end, I'm sorry, the end of the war to end all war. So that November 11th celebration date is related to what, again, as what was called then, the Great War, the end of the Great War, and the Armistice Day, that was entered into on the 11th day of the 11th month, on the 11th hour. So that is how we got to that particular point. Just wanted to share that with you. In case you were wondering, how did we get to November 11th as being the day where we observe Veterans Day and, you know, how long will we have a nation that celebrates our veterans? You know, I don't know when you have, you know, the Marxists on their way to Capitol Hill, remember the, osha. I'm just a bill on Capitol Hill. I guess you have to change that. Song I'm just a comrade on my way to Capitol Hill. Well, I'm, I started with that. I wanted to share that information about Veterans Day.
Host Criticizes Senate Republicans For Rushing Leadership Vote
But it's just, galling to me when you have something like the shellacking that the Republicans took last Tuesday, that you have the establishmentarians who just seem like it's not normal. if we want to be blunt about something, you had a lot of establishment Republicans who made it jobs number one, two and three for them to sabotage President Trump going all the way back to the first term when he was in office. And people don't want to say these things out loud. And I know now, soon to be former Congressman Trip Roy starting to say these things out loud, but, some of these folks are happy that they were able to undermine President Trump's presidency And the Mitch McConnell disciple, Senator Jon Thune. After the shellacking, you think they want to take some time to have some reflections and to consider a new strategy? Nah, not so much, no. Let's go ahead and rush the elections to determine who's going to be the Senate Minority Leader. And Senator, Ron Johnson from Wisconsin, along with several other US Senators, Rick Scott of Florida, Jon, Kennedy of Louisiana, Mike, Lee of Utah. They tried to delay, the votes for Senate Minority Leader, but they were unsuccessful in doing so. And it's amazing to me, though, we couldn't get a SAVE act passed. No Save America act passed. Jon Thune takes it upon himself, what, a week after the election is one week. It's been a week. Right. To have himself cemented as the GOP Senate Minority Leader in the 120th Congress once it's sworn in on January 3rd. sadly, sadly, Jon Doon ran for the Senate minority leadership. Unopposed. Unopposed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No one challenged him for that position.
Senate Inaction Contrasts With House Republicans Choosing Jordan
You know, and it's an interesting contrast, as to what happened in the House of Representatives amongst the Republicans. Now, the Democrats haven't had their elections yet, and they won. They are coming into the 120th Congress with majorities in both houses, yet they didn't rush to hold elections. I think that's pretty interesting. But in the Senate, Jon Thune, rushes to the front of the line to have himself cemented, as the Senate Minority leader. And I heard him on, he was on Brett Baer show, and he was once again whining and complaining about the filibuster and trying to almost, like, say, see, y' all should be glad that we didn't do anything with the filibuster. Because now we're gonna need it. And it's like, dude, you don't understand that if you would do what the American people elected you to do, you wouldn't need the filibuster. But that's beside the point. He was going on and on and on and said, well I've explained this over and over and over and we had support, we had the votes. He said this, we had the votes for the narrow portion for voter ID for federal elections. We had the votes for that, but we didn't have the votes for the other stuff. Cuz they had other things, types of legislation. I think it has something about women's sports or something in it. I'm saying what I thought you were a U.S. senator. When you say you have the votes for a portion of the bill, don't you have the authority to amend the bill to reflect the portions that you know you have the votes for? Do you think the House of Representatives would have rejected a bill that required voter identification and proof of citizenship for elections? If you say that's the only thing we want to pass? It's just sickening to see these kinds of things happen. It's sickening. And so what you can expect to have happen now when the 120th Congress takes place, which I don't think we should run speed on because there's lots of things that they still can do right now, frankly. Lots of things they still can do. but when you get to the 120th Congress, just, just, just be prepared because you're going to have, all of a sudden you're gonna have these establishmentarians talking as if they were members of the Tea Party. They're gonna talk big, bold and bad when they know they're in a minority because they've played this game so long. So ultimately, in order for things to transpire in a positive fashion, these establishmentarians are gonna have to be challenged. They're going to have to be challenged during the primary election phases because to me this is just, it's adding insult to injury where you have the same man who couldn't be bothered to try to deliver what the American people were requiring. But he sure can make moves to deliver what he needs to secure his own authority. It's just disgusting. It's disgusting. It's disgusting. Now on the House of Representatives side, immediately after elections Wednesday, on the Wednesday following last week's elections, Mike Johnson, Speaker Mike Johnson came out saying that he would not seek Republican, ah, leadership in the House of Representatives in the new Congress. And I told you guys, that from my personal relationship with the speaker that I know he's a righteous, he's a stand up man, he's a standup guy. And so I salute him for being willing to come out immediately and give such clarity. and on the House of Representatives side, they did have elections. And there was a contest between Jim Jordan from Ohio and Representative Steve Scalise, who is the second in Republican leadership in the House of Representatives right now, where the Republican Caucus decided to make Jim Jordan the House Minority leader for the 120th Congress. So, I like Jim Jordan, he's a part of the House Freedom Caucus. I think he'll do a good job in that position. But whereas the House of Representatives is showing some level, of reflection and consideration, of the necessity of making some changes, that you could not bother Jon Thune in the Senate with a similar phenomenon. I just find that to be very, very interesting. All right.
Wisconsin And Pennsylvania Leaders Back National Popular Vote
As I mentioned, the, with the, the, it's been called the Blue Tsunami Tsunami or whatever. I've been saying for a while that what you could expect is the newly elected, officials in state office and state houses across the country and in Congress, they're going to try to run as quickly and as fast and as far and as hard as they can. That's what they're going to try to do. You have, for example in Wisconsin, Wisconsin's Governor elect, David Crowley, who will come in as the newly elected governor, but he also will come in with Democrat majorities in the state house in Wisconsin. This is the first time that's happened in the state house in Wisconsin, since 2010. Since 2010. So it's been 16 years since something like this has happened. but he will preside over a state legislature as its governor. As the governor of the state where you have Democrat majorities in the state assembly and in the state Senate and they have the Governor's mansion. Well, try to warn people that this was coming. David Crowley has come out saying that he thinks the Electoral College needs to be done away with. Mm The Electoral College needs to be done away with. I wish y' all could see Marty's reaction. He, he said the President should be the one who gets the most votes total across the country and not the most electoral votes. He said, quote, we can do away with it, meaning Electoral College. I am interested in having those conversations with the state legislature. So what David Crowley is advocating for as the governor elect in the state of Wisconsin is for something that would completely disenfranchise Wisconsin voters. For example, if, Wisconsin voters repeat like they did in 2016 when they voted for President Trump over she who should never be president, but because she should never be president, won the popular vote, Wisconsin's preference for President Trump would have been nullified by the popular vote. David Crowley is saying, that's exactly what I want. That's exactly what I want. And I'm going to explain it once again for those who may not. May not be aware, because the Electoral College is actually an ingenious way of selecting a chief executive. It's an ingenious way. All right, Governor Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania is saying some of the same things, and this is not new for him. So he came out in 2020 saying he favored the national popular vote. And so here I'm going to play a clip of him saying the same thing. His position hasn't changed. But this is just crazy to hear these kinds of arguments made over and over again because, it's not as if these people are ignorant as to why the Electoral College is important, but they simply don't care.
Host Says Popular Vote Would Reduce Influence Of Smaller States
They prefer a course. I think they're ignorant. Yeah, they prefer a course that would not. You think the candidates are ignorant like Josh Shapiro, the governor. And if that's true, Marty says he thinks the governor of Pennsylvania is ignorant and the governor elected Wisconsin is ignorant. If that is true, they should not be qualified to be the heads of their state governments. Listen to this clip from Pennsylvania's current governor, Josh Shapiro. Clip three, go.
Josh Shapiro You said in 2020 that, the Electoral College should be abolished. You now have a Democratic legislature, would you push to join the National Popular Vote Compact, which for people who don't know, would award the participating states electoral votes to the national vote winner once enough states join, and now that after Tuesday, there are now enough Democratic type Democratic trifectas, to actually get to that point.
Josh Shapiro Yeah, look, I think the national popular vote makes sense. My views on that have, have not changed. I'll work with lawmakers to figure out what the right mechanism is for moving forward on that. But look, we're the ultimate swing state in Pennsylvania. We're the biggest swing state. We're proud of that role we play. I think Pennsylvania can still play a massive role even in a national popular vote. And to me, the most important thing is that the will of the people is heard and respected. And I think popular vote is a way to do that.
Abraham Hamilton III Man, that's such a ridiculous position to take. Because the national popular vote, if it's, and I'm saying this, man, y' all have heard this before. This is not new to you. If the National Popular Vote is embraced, that means presidential politics will completely transform away from any person who will become the chief executive of our United States military and the head of the federal executive branch. They would no longer have to get elected by a cross section of voters from the entirety of the country. They would only have to campaign in the most populous, the most population dense centers in the country. So you would literally see a reality where presidents would probably go between the 10 and 20 cities total in the entire country. You have people that already describe the middle of our country as flyover country. Okay? You would be cementing presidential politics to relegate it to basically being a bi coastal phenomenon and an abandonment of the rest of the country as flyover country. Because you would only seek to be competitive in the most population dense centers versus the way that it works currently. Currently a president, in order to be elected, they would have to win the favor of citizens across the entirety of the country. You understand what I'm saying? You cannot, for example, ignore Ohio and ignore Wisconsin. You hear, hear that? Governor Elect David Crowley. If you agree to the National Popular Vote Compact, you will be ending presidential candidates coming to your state to seek the support of your constituents. Do you understand that? And this stuff gives me a headache because. Because these people, many of them, man, they don't care. They don't. They, they, or like Marty said, they're ignorant. I have a hard time believing Josh Shapiro doesn't know this, but maybe he doesn't. If he doesn't know it, that's bad enough. If he does know it, and it's just that insidious, that devious where he's willing to, to say, hey, who cares what the rest of the country needs? Like, just as an American, you would think if the person is going to be the President of the United States of America, they should have the support of the United States of America. But it's coming, folks. As you heard in that clip, in many states they have the trifecta. So we'll have to keep a tally and keep a watch on whether or not they have enough to move forward with this ridiculous national popular vote compact.

Host Questions El Sayed’s Background And Campaign Messaging
You know, I was thinking, I've been thinking about this for a while, but I wonder if the Michigan voters who voted for Abdul El Sayed, and I'm gonna let you hear in a moment how he finally pronounces his name the real way. You know, he didn't say it like that all throughout the campaign, but oh boy, on, on his, victory speech night, he had to bring out that authentic pronunciation. But I wonder, had they considered what the Senate committee assignments will look like? Is Al Said gonna sit on, I don't know, the Foreign Relations Committee, Senate Intelligence? How about the Armed Service Committee? you know what, what is this committee assignment gonna be like? I'm sure there are no national security risks there, are there? You know, he's not going to use his position there to talk to his family members and friends in the Muslim Brotherhood. I'm sure that won't happen. This, this is just wild. And I'm going to just, you know, there was a lot of debate and, and, and he around his election and him trying to, you know, frankly be condescending to what anybody who would say, yo, but what about your ties of the Muslim Brotherhood? Like as if, well, Islamophobia, you know, that's the only reason why you're asking that. Did you see who all came out to congratulate him and the messages that they sent? Yeah, we're going to get into that a little bit. But before I do, I want you to hear for those who didn't hear and if you followed this campaign, you know, I've heard El Sayed say his name probably, I don't know, 50 times, I don't know, 100 times, I don't know how many times. I didn't count. I never heard him say it. Like he said at victory night on election night, I was like, wow, this is amazing. And then he said something else that certainly caused my ears to perk up. That I think was an intentional statement in light of what I know to be true. As a result of the documents that were uncovered concerning the Muslim Brotherhood's agenda for the United States of America, they would seek to use our constitutional processes to end the documents, word, quote, sabotage. That Miserable house that's referred to America as. So I want you to listen to. This is right from the beginning of Abdul El Sayed victory, speech, on Tuesday evening last week, as the election results weren't even finished coming in yet.
Victory Speech Remarks Prompt Questions About Arab America
But he declared himself the winner, which ultimately proved to be accurate. Clip number two. Clip two. This will be an audio clip only. Audio clip only. Clip two, go.
Todd Herman My name is Abd Al Rahman Mohammed Said. And I'm honored to be the, next United States Senator from the great state of Michigan. Which of course I know we're here in D.C. which of course is the capital of the United States of America. But Michigan is the capital of Arab America.
Abraham Hamilton III I wish y' all could see Marty's face. I wish you could see his face because that's what I want you to. And look, I know guys, it was late. Not everybody got to watch the entirety of these speeches and. Cause I love you. I do it. And my wife is like, abe, go to bed. You know, I'm like, baby, I gotta watch this, you know. Did you realize this dude said Michigan, Washington D.C. may be the capital of the United States of America, but Michigan is the capital of Arab America. Jeff, did you know there was an Arab America? Did you know that? Did you know that, Martin? There is an Arab America. What Pray tell, Mr. I don't know how you say it. Like you were saying it before the campaign. El Sayed or you want to hear me with the, You know, not ramen noodles, you know, Abdul, Rahman Mohammed, you know, you put that, the Mohammed, you know, you put it on there, you know, let everybody know. Capital of Arab America. So, so I'm supposed to act like that, That I didn't hear what I just heard, right? Oh, Ab didn't mean anything about that really. I just don't have the luxury to come to that conclusion. What I know about the Muslim Brotherhood's agenda for our country, what I know about his ties to the motherhood Muslim Brotherhood. What, what exactly does he mean by the capital of Arab America? Hmm? Mm
Host Highlights Congratulatory Messages And Questions Political Goals
During that same speech, he offered this. He might not recognize it like this, but I would say this is a warning when he says, quote, the goal was never just to win a seat. The goal was to use. The goal is to use that seat to transform our politics, end quote. Transform from what to what I would like to know. What's your objectives? And for those who, were conveniently ignorant of El Sayed background, his commitments, his family, ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and things of that nature. I just want you to know. I just want you to know, after the election Tuesday night, Mohammed M El Sayed Abdul got, some notes of congratulations from certain people. One of the first ones came from. Who's that? The Muslim Brotherhood. Well, well, I declare, call me surprised that the first party that wants to give you congratulations on what I do is a Muslim brother. The Muslim Brotherhood. That you don't know nothing about the Muslim Brotherhood. That you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood. That if anybody asks you a question, that they must be Islamophobic. but they are the first ones to line up to send you congratulatory messages. And how about this? The Council on American Islamic Relations care. The same group that's identified in the document that was discovered in Maryland where they lay out their plan to Islamize America, using their own miserable freedoms to sabotage their own miserable house. The Council on American Islamic Relations was one of the groups that were identified in the document. And what's that? Checks? Notes. Yes. They send a congratulatory message that said, quote, this is one step in ensuring Muslim political power lasts for the long haul. End quote. Huh? Huh? He got a congratulatory message from Iran. Now you got Abraham. Come on. Come on. In which senior officials hailed his win as a, quote, model for Islam to work from within the political system on behalf of the Islamic world. End quote. Well, now, butter me like a biscuit. I must have fallen off of the marmalade truck because surely this could not have been known before the election time. Surely not. This is crazy, guys. Like I never imagined we'd have. United States Senator who's getting congratulatory messages from Iran. Like, you got a congratulatory message, my boy, from the Muslim Brotherhood. The ones you said I wasn't the brother from that hood in the first place. These people are wild. These people are wild. And. And he's taking pictures, winking at people showing his name. Senator Electric El Sayed in, Capitol Hill. Boy, oh, boy, oh, boy. This is insanity. Insanity. But, but, but, but I'm Islamic phobic. I won't even say you. I'm Islamic phobic if I have questions. Me, I'm not sure this man could even get past a background check. I'm not sure he could. I don't know that he couldn't, but I'm not sure that he could. How are you receiving these messages again? I'm going to read this one again for you guys. Yes. Oh, yes. This is one step in ensuring, quote, Muslim Political power lasts for the long haul, end quote. Why is that so? Why is that so important? If you. And if you want to represent Michigan. Why are you describing Michigan as the Arab capital? I know a lot of Michiganders who are not Arab. are you their senator? You know, I mean. I mean, Anne Arbor, you know, Michigan, The Wolverines. I mean, are they, what up, Michigan State? I mean, guys, this is crazy, man. This is crazy. And I say this on ti. This one, I'm talking about looking well into a matter.
Nvidia CEO Affair Raises Concerns About Foreign Intelligence Risks
If you are frustrated with affordability, why would your response be let's elect Marxists? Like, you're concerned about your ability to afford items for consumption. So your response will be, yeah, let's make Venezuela. I know it's Venezuela, but let's. Let's bring Venezuela home. Guys. That didn't make any sense at all. That doesn't make any sense at all. So I just wanted you guys to know that. Although. And I don't. I want, which pronunciation I should go with. I don't know if I should go pre election or post election for El Sayed. Because he hit you with that. M. Muhammad, you know, he hit you with that one in the middle name. You know, he shortened that, that, Abdul Rahman, you know, he hit you with that one, too. Oh, man, this is wild, guys. This is wild. This is wild. And then on top of that, and I alluded to this on Monday evening, this is why, man, the. The. The. The core of our country has been just hollowed, out to a great degree. And I know there are things that people do and people confront, but to say things like being faithful to your wife is hard to do. It's not really. It's not. It's not. Yet you have this man, Jensen Huang, Nvidia CEO. And I'm presenting this to be. To be frank, I'm not as interested in his personal moral failure as I am in the fact that his moral failure potentially jeopardizes national security. That's the issue that I have. And that's exactly right. Clergymen, in Michigan, supporting El Sayed. I, have lots of questions. I have lots of questions about that. but you have Nvidia's Jensen Huang. he issued a statement to the Associated Press in which he confessed his adulterous affair. And he apologized to his wife and to his children. His children who work for Nvidia, by the way. but the thing that is jeopardizing, and I alluded to it before, Nvidia's business Practices and the things that they do have been deemed so central and important to national security that there is a limitation on Nvidia's business interactions with China. All right? They can't sell them stuff because of the national security implications. Nevertheless, Jensen Huang gets caught up. Listen to this short clip on it. Clip number one. Clip one, go.
News reporter (unidentified) Tonight, a shocking revelation from Nvidia CEO and co founder Jensen Huang, the executive at the center of the AI boom admitting to an affair with a Chinese spy. Huang apologized in a statement saying, I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. Nvidia's board announced it is initiating an investigation, but has no reason
Jeff Chamblee to believe national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised.
Abraham Hamilton III Now, that's what he's saying. And, as I said before, that Nvidia is one of America's leading tech companies and creates technology so strategically important to our nation that our nation has restricted Nvidia's ability to sell stuff to China when it seemed like China was keenly aware of that. So. So. So they dispatch what is commonly described as a, a, honey pot, you know, to ensnare this man where the reality is, if. If he had resolved to honor and be faithful to his wife, this would never have grown legs. But there's a reason why these foreign nations have employed these honeypot tactics over and over and over again. This ain't a Disney movie, but this is a tale as old as time. And in the process of him succumbing to, you know, the seductions of the adulteress is what the book of Proverbs would call her. He, in the process, potentially risk jeopardizing national security. So now the FBI is looking into what may or may not have been communicated because the intelligence agencies have evidence that as soon as, the adulteress would leave from Jensen Huang, she would be communicating with Beijing M. Oh, Lord, we need you. We need you.

Opening Reflections Call Believers To Shine In Darkness
Abraham Hamilton III Darkness is not an affirmative force. It simply reoccupies the space vacated by
Abraham Hamilton III the light. This is the, Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
Abraham Hamilton III It should be uncomfortable for a believer
Jeff Chamblee to live as
Abraham Hamilton III a hypocrite,
Abraham Hamilton III delivering people out of the bondage of mainstream media and the philosophies of this world. God
Abraham Hamilton III has called you
Abraham Hamilton III and me to be his ambassador even in this dark moment. Let's not miss our moment.
Abraham Hamilton III And, now the, Hamilton M Corner.
Abraham Hamilton III Good evening everyone. Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio. I'm your host, Abraham Hamilton iii, joined by the corner contingent right across from me, our friendly neighborhood woodaholic, Mr. Marty Sparks, lighting up the dark from behind the board. And we have producer extraordinaire, often imitated, never duplicated. The real J. Mac is in the screening room and we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program.
Parents Must Lead Discipleship And Resist Cultural Indoctrination
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 his view to govern your view and your engagement. And you embrace the reality that what goes on in your house is far more important than, than what goes on in the White House. And I say that not to denigrate or minimize the significance of what transpires in the White House, but to emphasize appropriately the significance of what happens in your home. And in my home, we have the expressed opportunity every single day to be a part of building God's kingdom by executing his commission starting right in, in our own homes. So as you are making your transition, I want to encourage you and challenge you to resolve it in yourself that if you have not done so before, let today be the day where you are found exalting the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, starting right in your own homes. You take seriously the biblical command, if you have young children in your home, just like I have, at this stage of my life, I'm in that life stage that you take seriously God's command to you and to me to make disciples of his heritage, that one of the great, sources of negligence and the great misses that has transpired, frankly in our nation is that we've kind of become so accustomed to outsourcing the discipleship responsibility, not recognizing that God has graced you and me as parents with the grace and the anointing that we need to pour into our children to evangelize them, to catechize them, and to make disciples, in our own homes. So this is something we have to embrace. And I said it before, and I'll say it again, if we would welcome the Lord to grasp ahold of us in our homes, there's no question as to what could happen in society. But if you look at what's transpiring in society, they correspond, that it corresponds to a retrenchment in the family. I was looking at a Rasmussen poll today, and it's, 18 to 25 year olds, over 43% of them have a favorable view of Sharia law, to which I would say, wait a minute, now, where did they get that from? First of all, these are American young adults. They're not Muslims. They don't really know the details of what Sharia law is functionally and practically. But what's happened is we live in a society where, as Justice Steven Breyer said, the primary institution, responsible for transmitting the values upon which our society rests is the government education system. And they've been transmitting values that say, well, you need to lift up anybody that is perceived as marginalized or as discriminated against. And so many of these young people think that they are, they're valorous, that they are, they are doing the Lord's work by saying that if you have an issue with Sharia law, well, that's just an exercise in Islamophobia. And I hate to tell you, I don't hate to tell you, but I hate that it exists. I hate that it exists that many of these young people really believe these types of things because they have been discipled to believe it. They've been discipled to believe it in their government instruction, government indoctrination complexes. They have been discipled to believe these things and have these perspectives and opinions, and they have not been confronted with the truth. They have not done a deep dive into what Sharia law, is. They don't know anything about the Islamic Revolution of 1979. They don't know anything about the Barbary wars, the United States of America. They don't know anything about any of those things yet. They are passionately misinformed. That's a feature of discipleship.
Second Peter Urges Fruitfulness Even Amid Persecution
To the word of God we go. Second Peter, chapter one. Two Peter, chapter one. I want to read this and I want to remind you that this is written in the mid-60s A.D. as, appreciable, overt hostile persecution against the Lord's church was emerging under Nero in the Roman Empire. Yet the spirit of God, moved the apostle Peter to pen these words. And I'll start in verse one. Second. Peter, chapter one, verse one. And this is what God's word says. Simon Peter, a servant, a Doulos, an apostle of Jesus Christ. To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ. May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness. Through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue and virtue with knowledge and knowledge, with self control and self control. With steadfastness and steadfastness. With godliness and godliness. With brotherly affection and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Oh, man. What gripping, gripping, gripping text here. The Lord is conveying this through the apostle Peter, explaining that in light of the fact that all things pertaining to life and godliness has been provided for us through the knowledge of the Christ the Messiah. In light of that, our faith is not the end of the story. It's actually a foundation line that our faith must be supplemented with these various qualities. And one of the major things I want to point out to you once again, and to reiterate, reiterate, is that this is expressed in a time period where the church is being persecuted heavily. Nevertheless, God's expectation of his disciples is for them to be effective and fruitful, even in the face of a time of persecution. Well, to say it, in the opposite direction, that the fact that persecution was occurring did not provide for the believers in the first century, did. Did not provide them an excuse or justification for ineffectiveness and fruitlessness as believers. The simple reality is, folks, our assignment, in the Lord Jesus Christ doesn't change based upon the environmental circumstances or the cultural circumstances that surround us. And it's noteworthy that among the qualities that would fortify the believer from being barren and unproductive or ineffective and unfruitful is to seek his knowledge.
Diligent Study And Steadfastness Strengthen Christian Witness
You know, I was talking about this on today's issues earlier today. And, you know, Vanliere Jones is bragging about how basically they ran a psychological operation on the American population concerning, you know, affordability. Now, that's not to minimize people that are struggling in different ways. There are things that are, that are challenging right now, no doubt about it. And prices are higher than they have been, in recent times, no doubt about it. But the time period now, the economic circumstances are not radically different from what they were in 2022. Yet in 2022, there wasn't much conversation about affordability. Yet the conversation about affordability was happening, by the way, until last Tuesday. Since last Tuesday, how much have you heard about affordability? And what I'm saying is, instead of just taking some, you know, keyboard warrior's word for it, because you saw a post on Instagram, Face, instaface, Space my. We have the actual opportunity to look into the matter. We can look into the data, we can search ourselves and find the information. The people of God should be some of the most diligent and studious people that exist. And as a result of that, we should be able to direct people towards truth. It's also instructive that the Lord says through Apostle Peter, that if these qualities are yours and they're increasing, they're increasing, there's no such thing as I have arrived as a disciple of Jesus Christ. That we're consistently in a posture of striving, of learning, of growing more disciplined, more brotherly, kindness, more, love, more virtue, more steadfastness. And in a time where things are seemingly difficult, that is where the I say it this way. I heard a seasoned saint tell me one time, it's the seed you sow in the valley than normally produces the fruit you eat at the mountaintop. It is the ability for us to remain steadfast even in the face of difficulty that builds that muscle memory of steadfastness in us. And that is something we should aspire to at every life stage and in all circumstances. In not allowing the situation when, things are challenging to cause us to excuse ourselves from the biblical expectation of effectiveness and fruitfulness. The very potential for you and I to be believers, yet be rendered ineffective and unfruitful in our knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ should be a sobering consideration for us. Should be a sobering consideration. It is for me. It is for me. You know, I pray and I go before the Lord. I don't want to be known as someone who is perceived some way publicly and before the masses. But that perception is not accurate. When you ask My wife and my children. Man, that's wrong. Man, that's wrong. We should seek to have a consistency in witness most robustly amongst those who are closest to us.
Discipleship Requires Closeness And Governs Every Area Of Life
And this is a part of the reason why, you know, discipleship has kind of fallen out of favor. One, because of rebellion, as a general consideration. But two, discipleship requires a level of closeness. You really can't make disciples for real from a distance. You know, the person, your favorite person you following has, you know, got their, you know, insta face, grandpace, insta face picture with their Bible and a coffee mug on the side. You know, follow me with my devotions. You don't know if they read that. You don't know what they read. And I'm not saying that they didn't read it. I'm saying you literally, you just don't know. All you know is what they're presenting themselves as having done, as opposed to being able to sit right across the table from them and walk through the word of God with someone in interpersonal relationship. You know, in order for iron or sharpened iron, the iron, two iron sources have to come into contact. It has to come into contact. And so when, when you hear me continually saying the greatest and most desperate need in our country is repentance and, and for disciples to be made, I'm not talking about that. In a vacuum, when you make disciples, it is all of Christ, for all of life. The lordship of Jesus Christ governs every aspect of who we are. It governs my marriage. It governs the way I treat my wife. It governs the way I conduct myself when no one else is around physically but my Lord who is omnipresent is there with me. It governs the way I manage finances. It governs how I file my tax returns. It governs how I navigate my grocery store shopping list. It governs how I manage my budget. It is all of Christ for all of life. It governs how I engage as a citizen, as in this country. It governs every single thing. But what's happened, We've allowed in many instances the world to kind of, to compartmentalize our existence and say, well, you know, if you are a Christian, keep that over here. But if you dare allow that to impact how you live your life publicly, then you have all kind of names and majorities that lie about you. But if we focus on what is the result of being a disciple without making disciples, guys, it's, it's ah, a, it's a, it's a losing proposition. I'll say it that way. So when you consider passages like this in Second Peter, Chapter one, that in the face of overt hostile physical persecution, the Lord nevertheless sets the expectation for his people to be fruitful and effective in our knowledge of Him.

Abraham Hamilton III Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here.
Veterans Day Honors Service And Recalls Armistice Day Origins
Well, today is Veterans Day. my father was a veteran of the United States Air Force. I want to thank all of our, military service members for your selfless service to our nation, standing in aiding us and preserving the freedoms that we've been able to enjoy in our nation, in such selfless sacrifice and devotion. I, want to say thank you to you personally and to all of you, who are tuning into the program. Thank you so much for your service. Just by way of reminder, sometimes we forget how these things transpired, but Veterans Day is the product of what was initially, called Armistice Day in relationship to World War I. And at the time, World War I was regarded as the Great War, which officially ended when the Treaty of versailles was signed June 28, 1919. But the reality is that it was, seven months before then when the fighting ceased in World War I via the Armistice, between the Allied nations in Germany. And it went into effect on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. And for that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end, I'm sorry, the end of the war to end all war. So that November 11th celebration date is related to what, again, as what was called then, the Great War, the end of the Great War, and the Armistice Day, that was entered into on the 11th day of the 11th month, on the 11th hour. So that is how we got to that particular point. Just wanted to share that with you. In case you were wondering, how did we get to November 11th as being the day where we observe Veterans Day and, you know, how long will we have a nation that celebrates our veterans? You know, I don't know when you have, you know, the Marxists on their way to Capitol Hill, remember the, osha. I'm just a bill on Capitol Hill. I guess you have to change that. Song I'm just a comrade on my way to Capitol Hill. Well, I'm, I started with that. I wanted to share that information about Veterans Day.
Host Criticizes Senate Republicans For Rushing Leadership Vote
But it's just, galling to me when you have something like the shellacking that the Republicans took last Tuesday, that you have the establishmentarians who just seem like it's not normal. if we want to be blunt about something, you had a lot of establishment Republicans who made it jobs number one, two and three for them to sabotage President Trump going all the way back to the first term when he was in office. And people don't want to say these things out loud. And I know now, soon to be former Congressman Trip Roy starting to say these things out loud, but, some of these folks are happy that they were able to undermine President Trump's presidency And the Mitch McConnell disciple, Senator Jon Thune. After the shellacking, you think they want to take some time to have some reflections and to consider a new strategy? Nah, not so much, no. Let's go ahead and rush the elections to determine who's going to be the Senate Minority Leader. And Senator, Ron Johnson from Wisconsin, along with several other US Senators, Rick Scott of Florida, Jon, Kennedy of Louisiana, Mike, Lee of Utah. They tried to delay, the votes for Senate Minority Leader, but they were unsuccessful in doing so. And it's amazing to me, though, we couldn't get a SAVE act passed. No Save America act passed. Jon Thune takes it upon himself, what, a week after the election is one week. It's been a week. Right. To have himself cemented as the GOP Senate Minority Leader in the 120th Congress once it's sworn in on January 3rd. sadly, sadly, Jon Doon ran for the Senate minority leadership. Unopposed. Unopposed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No one challenged him for that position.
Senate Inaction Contrasts With House Republicans Choosing Jordan
You know, and it's an interesting contrast, as to what happened in the House of Representatives amongst the Republicans. Now, the Democrats haven't had their elections yet, and they won. They are coming into the 120th Congress with majorities in both houses, yet they didn't rush to hold elections. I think that's pretty interesting. But in the Senate, Jon Thune, rushes to the front of the line to have himself cemented, as the Senate Minority leader. And I heard him on, he was on Brett Baer show, and he was once again whining and complaining about the filibuster and trying to almost, like, say, see, y' all should be glad that we didn't do anything with the filibuster. Because now we're gonna need it. And it's like, dude, you don't understand that if you would do what the American people elected you to do, you wouldn't need the filibuster. But that's beside the point. He was going on and on and on and said, well I've explained this over and over and over and we had support, we had the votes. He said this, we had the votes for the narrow portion for voter ID for federal elections. We had the votes for that, but we didn't have the votes for the other stuff. Cuz they had other things, types of legislation. I think it has something about women's sports or something in it. I'm saying what I thought you were a U.S. senator. When you say you have the votes for a portion of the bill, don't you have the authority to amend the bill to reflect the portions that you know you have the votes for? Do you think the House of Representatives would have rejected a bill that required voter identification and proof of citizenship for elections? If you say that's the only thing we want to pass? It's just sickening to see these kinds of things happen. It's sickening. And so what you can expect to have happen now when the 120th Congress takes place, which I don't think we should run speed on because there's lots of things that they still can do right now, frankly. Lots of things they still can do. but when you get to the 120th Congress, just, just, just be prepared because you're going to have, all of a sudden you're gonna have these establishmentarians talking as if they were members of the Tea Party. They're gonna talk big, bold and bad when they know they're in a minority because they've played this game so long. So ultimately, in order for things to transpire in a positive fashion, these establishmentarians are gonna have to be challenged. They're going to have to be challenged during the primary election phases because to me this is just, it's adding insult to injury where you have the same man who couldn't be bothered to try to deliver what the American people were requiring. But he sure can make moves to deliver what he needs to secure his own authority. It's just disgusting. It's disgusting. It's disgusting. Now on the House of Representatives side, immediately after elections Wednesday, on the Wednesday following last week's elections, Mike Johnson, Speaker Mike Johnson came out saying that he would not seek Republican, ah, leadership in the House of Representatives in the new Congress. And I told you guys, that from my personal relationship with the speaker that I know he's a righteous, he's a stand up man, he's a standup guy. And so I salute him for being willing to come out immediately and give such clarity. and on the House of Representatives side, they did have elections. And there was a contest between Jim Jordan from Ohio and Representative Steve Scalise, who is the second in Republican leadership in the House of Representatives right now, where the Republican Caucus decided to make Jim Jordan the House Minority leader for the 120th Congress. So, I like Jim Jordan, he's a part of the House Freedom Caucus. I think he'll do a good job in that position. But whereas the House of Representatives is showing some level, of reflection and consideration, of the necessity of making some changes, that you could not bother Jon Thune in the Senate with a similar phenomenon. I just find that to be very, very interesting. All right.
Wisconsin And Pennsylvania Leaders Back National Popular Vote
As I mentioned, the, with the, the, it's been called the Blue Tsunami Tsunami or whatever. I've been saying for a while that what you could expect is the newly elected, officials in state office and state houses across the country and in Congress, they're going to try to run as quickly and as fast and as far and as hard as they can. That's what they're going to try to do. You have, for example in Wisconsin, Wisconsin's Governor elect, David Crowley, who will come in as the newly elected governor, but he also will come in with Democrat majorities in the state house in Wisconsin. This is the first time that's happened in the state house in Wisconsin, since 2010. Since 2010. So it's been 16 years since something like this has happened. but he will preside over a state legislature as its governor. As the governor of the state where you have Democrat majorities in the state assembly and in the state Senate and they have the Governor's mansion. Well, try to warn people that this was coming. David Crowley has come out saying that he thinks the Electoral College needs to be done away with. Mm The Electoral College needs to be done away with. I wish y' all could see Marty's reaction. He, he said the President should be the one who gets the most votes total across the country and not the most electoral votes. He said, quote, we can do away with it, meaning Electoral College. I am interested in having those conversations with the state legislature. So what David Crowley is advocating for as the governor elect in the state of Wisconsin is for something that would completely disenfranchise Wisconsin voters. For example, if, Wisconsin voters repeat like they did in 2016 when they voted for President Trump over she who should never be president, but because she should never be president, won the popular vote, Wisconsin's preference for President Trump would have been nullified by the popular vote. David Crowley is saying, that's exactly what I want. That's exactly what I want. And I'm going to explain it once again for those who may not. May not be aware, because the Electoral College is actually an ingenious way of selecting a chief executive. It's an ingenious way. All right, Governor Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania is saying some of the same things, and this is not new for him. So he came out in 2020 saying he favored the national popular vote. And so here I'm going to play a clip of him saying the same thing. His position hasn't changed. But this is just crazy to hear these kinds of arguments made over and over again because, it's not as if these people are ignorant as to why the Electoral College is important, but they simply don't care.
Host Says Popular Vote Would Reduce Influence Of Smaller States
They prefer a course. I think they're ignorant. Yeah, they prefer a course that would not. You think the candidates are ignorant like Josh Shapiro, the governor. And if that's true, Marty says he thinks the governor of Pennsylvania is ignorant and the governor elected Wisconsin is ignorant. If that is true, they should not be qualified to be the heads of their state governments. Listen to this clip from Pennsylvania's current governor, Josh Shapiro. Clip three, go.
Josh Shapiro You said in 2020 that, the Electoral College should be abolished. You now have a Democratic legislature, would you push to join the National Popular Vote Compact, which for people who don't know, would award the participating states electoral votes to the national vote winner once enough states join, and now that after Tuesday, there are now enough Democratic type Democratic trifectas, to actually get to that point.
Josh Shapiro Yeah, look, I think the national popular vote makes sense. My views on that have, have not changed. I'll work with lawmakers to figure out what the right mechanism is for moving forward on that. But look, we're the ultimate swing state in Pennsylvania. We're the biggest swing state. We're proud of that role we play. I think Pennsylvania can still play a massive role even in a national popular vote. And to me, the most important thing is that the will of the people is heard and respected. And I think popular vote is a way to do that.
Abraham Hamilton III Man, that's such a ridiculous position to take. Because the national popular vote, if it's, and I'm saying this, man, y' all have heard this before. This is not new to you. If the National Popular Vote is embraced, that means presidential politics will completely transform away from any person who will become the chief executive of our United States military and the head of the federal executive branch. They would no longer have to get elected by a cross section of voters from the entirety of the country. They would only have to campaign in the most populous, the most population dense centers in the country. So you would literally see a reality where presidents would probably go between the 10 and 20 cities total in the entire country. You have people that already describe the middle of our country as flyover country. Okay? You would be cementing presidential politics to relegate it to basically being a bi coastal phenomenon and an abandonment of the rest of the country as flyover country. Because you would only seek to be competitive in the most population dense centers versus the way that it works currently. Currently a president, in order to be elected, they would have to win the favor of citizens across the entirety of the country. You understand what I'm saying? You cannot, for example, ignore Ohio and ignore Wisconsin. You hear, hear that? Governor Elect David Crowley. If you agree to the National Popular Vote Compact, you will be ending presidential candidates coming to your state to seek the support of your constituents. Do you understand that? And this stuff gives me a headache because. Because these people, many of them, man, they don't care. They don't. They, they, or like Marty said, they're ignorant. I have a hard time believing Josh Shapiro doesn't know this, but maybe he doesn't. If he doesn't know it, that's bad enough. If he does know it, and it's just that insidious, that devious where he's willing to, to say, hey, who cares what the rest of the country needs? Like, just as an American, you would think if the person is going to be the President of the United States of America, they should have the support of the United States of America. But it's coming, folks. As you heard in that clip, in many states they have the trifecta. So we'll have to keep a tally and keep a watch on whether or not they have enough to move forward with this ridiculous national popular vote compact.

Host Questions El Sayed’s Background And Campaign Messaging
You know, I was thinking, I've been thinking about this for a while, but I wonder if the Michigan voters who voted for Abdul El Sayed, and I'm gonna let you hear in a moment how he finally pronounces his name the real way. You know, he didn't say it like that all throughout the campaign, but oh boy, on, on his, victory speech night, he had to bring out that authentic pronunciation. But I wonder, had they considered what the Senate committee assignments will look like? Is Al Said gonna sit on, I don't know, the Foreign Relations Committee, Senate Intelligence? How about the Armed Service Committee? you know what, what is this committee assignment gonna be like? I'm sure there are no national security risks there, are there? You know, he's not going to use his position there to talk to his family members and friends in the Muslim Brotherhood. I'm sure that won't happen. This, this is just wild. And I'm going to just, you know, there was a lot of debate and, and, and he around his election and him trying to, you know, frankly be condescending to what anybody who would say, yo, but what about your ties of the Muslim Brotherhood? Like as if, well, Islamophobia, you know, that's the only reason why you're asking that. Did you see who all came out to congratulate him and the messages that they sent? Yeah, we're going to get into that a little bit. But before I do, I want you to hear for those who didn't hear and if you followed this campaign, you know, I've heard El Sayed say his name probably, I don't know, 50 times, I don't know, 100 times, I don't know how many times. I didn't count. I never heard him say it. Like he said at victory night on election night, I was like, wow, this is amazing. And then he said something else that certainly caused my ears to perk up. That I think was an intentional statement in light of what I know to be true. As a result of the documents that were uncovered concerning the Muslim Brotherhood's agenda for the United States of America, they would seek to use our constitutional processes to end the documents, word, quote, sabotage. That Miserable house that's referred to America as. So I want you to listen to. This is right from the beginning of Abdul El Sayed victory, speech, on Tuesday evening last week, as the election results weren't even finished coming in yet.
Victory Speech Remarks Prompt Questions About Arab America
But he declared himself the winner, which ultimately proved to be accurate. Clip number two. Clip two. This will be an audio clip only. Audio clip only. Clip two, go.
Todd Herman My name is Abd Al Rahman Mohammed Said. And I'm honored to be the, next United States Senator from the great state of Michigan. Which of course I know we're here in D.C. which of course is the capital of the United States of America. But Michigan is the capital of Arab America.
Abraham Hamilton III I wish y' all could see Marty's face. I wish you could see his face because that's what I want you to. And look, I know guys, it was late. Not everybody got to watch the entirety of these speeches and. Cause I love you. I do it. And my wife is like, abe, go to bed. You know, I'm like, baby, I gotta watch this, you know. Did you realize this dude said Michigan, Washington D.C. may be the capital of the United States of America, but Michigan is the capital of Arab America. Jeff, did you know there was an Arab America? Did you know that? Did you know that, Martin? There is an Arab America. What Pray tell, Mr. I don't know how you say it. Like you were saying it before the campaign. El Sayed or you want to hear me with the, You know, not ramen noodles, you know, Abdul, Rahman Mohammed, you know, you put that, the Mohammed, you know, you put it on there, you know, let everybody know. Capital of Arab America. So, so I'm supposed to act like that, That I didn't hear what I just heard, right? Oh, Ab didn't mean anything about that really. I just don't have the luxury to come to that conclusion. What I know about the Muslim Brotherhood's agenda for our country, what I know about his ties to the motherhood Muslim Brotherhood. What, what exactly does he mean by the capital of Arab America? Hmm? Mm
Host Highlights Congratulatory Messages And Questions Political Goals
During that same speech, he offered this. He might not recognize it like this, but I would say this is a warning when he says, quote, the goal was never just to win a seat. The goal was to use. The goal is to use that seat to transform our politics, end quote. Transform from what to what I would like to know. What's your objectives? And for those who, were conveniently ignorant of El Sayed background, his commitments, his family, ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and things of that nature. I just want you to know. I just want you to know, after the election Tuesday night, Mohammed M El Sayed Abdul got, some notes of congratulations from certain people. One of the first ones came from. Who's that? The Muslim Brotherhood. Well, well, I declare, call me surprised that the first party that wants to give you congratulations on what I do is a Muslim brother. The Muslim Brotherhood. That you don't know nothing about the Muslim Brotherhood. That you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood. That if anybody asks you a question, that they must be Islamophobic. but they are the first ones to line up to send you congratulatory messages. And how about this? The Council on American Islamic Relations care. The same group that's identified in the document that was discovered in Maryland where they lay out their plan to Islamize America, using their own miserable freedoms to sabotage their own miserable house. The Council on American Islamic Relations was one of the groups that were identified in the document. And what's that? Checks? Notes. Yes. They send a congratulatory message that said, quote, this is one step in ensuring Muslim political power lasts for the long haul. End quote. Huh? Huh? He got a congratulatory message from Iran. Now you got Abraham. Come on. Come on. In which senior officials hailed his win as a, quote, model for Islam to work from within the political system on behalf of the Islamic world. End quote. Well, now, butter me like a biscuit. I must have fallen off of the marmalade truck because surely this could not have been known before the election time. Surely not. This is crazy, guys. Like I never imagined we'd have. United States Senator who's getting congratulatory messages from Iran. Like, you got a congratulatory message, my boy, from the Muslim Brotherhood. The ones you said I wasn't the brother from that hood in the first place. These people are wild. These people are wild. And. And he's taking pictures, winking at people showing his name. Senator Electric El Sayed in, Capitol Hill. Boy, oh, boy, oh, boy. This is insanity. Insanity. But, but, but, but I'm Islamic phobic. I won't even say you. I'm Islamic phobic if I have questions. Me, I'm not sure this man could even get past a background check. I'm not sure he could. I don't know that he couldn't, but I'm not sure that he could. How are you receiving these messages again? I'm going to read this one again for you guys. Yes. Oh, yes. This is one step in ensuring, quote, Muslim Political power lasts for the long haul, end quote. Why is that so? Why is that so important? If you. And if you want to represent Michigan. Why are you describing Michigan as the Arab capital? I know a lot of Michiganders who are not Arab. are you their senator? You know, I mean. I mean, Anne Arbor, you know, Michigan, The Wolverines. I mean, are they, what up, Michigan State? I mean, guys, this is crazy, man. This is crazy. And I say this on ti. This one, I'm talking about looking well into a matter.
Nvidia CEO Affair Raises Concerns About Foreign Intelligence Risks
If you are frustrated with affordability, why would your response be let's elect Marxists? Like, you're concerned about your ability to afford items for consumption. So your response will be, yeah, let's make Venezuela. I know it's Venezuela, but let's. Let's bring Venezuela home. Guys. That didn't make any sense at all. That doesn't make any sense at all. So I just wanted you guys to know that. Although. And I don't. I want, which pronunciation I should go with. I don't know if I should go pre election or post election for El Sayed. Because he hit you with that. M. Muhammad, you know, he hit you with that one in the middle name. You know, he shortened that, that, Abdul Rahman, you know, he hit you with that one, too. Oh, man, this is wild, guys. This is wild. This is wild. And then on top of that, and I alluded to this on Monday evening, this is why, man, the. The. The. The core of our country has been just hollowed, out to a great degree. And I know there are things that people do and people confront, but to say things like being faithful to your wife is hard to do. It's not really. It's not. It's not. Yet you have this man, Jensen Huang, Nvidia CEO. And I'm presenting this to be. To be frank, I'm not as interested in his personal moral failure as I am in the fact that his moral failure potentially jeopardizes national security. That's the issue that I have. And that's exactly right. Clergymen, in Michigan, supporting El Sayed. I, have lots of questions. I have lots of questions about that. but you have Nvidia's Jensen Huang. he issued a statement to the Associated Press in which he confessed his adulterous affair. And he apologized to his wife and to his children. His children who work for Nvidia, by the way. but the thing that is jeopardizing, and I alluded to it before, Nvidia's business Practices and the things that they do have been deemed so central and important to national security that there is a limitation on Nvidia's business interactions with China. All right? They can't sell them stuff because of the national security implications. Nevertheless, Jensen Huang gets caught up. Listen to this short clip on it. Clip number one. Clip one, go.
News reporter (unidentified) Tonight, a shocking revelation from Nvidia CEO and co founder Jensen Huang, the executive at the center of the AI boom admitting to an affair with a Chinese spy. Huang apologized in a statement saying, I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. Nvidia's board announced it is initiating an investigation, but has no reason
Jeff Chamblee to believe national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised.
Abraham Hamilton III Now, that's what he's saying. And, as I said before, that Nvidia is one of America's leading tech companies and creates technology so strategically important to our nation that our nation has restricted Nvidia's ability to sell stuff to China when it seemed like China was keenly aware of that. So. So. So they dispatch what is commonly described as a, a, honey pot, you know, to ensnare this man where the reality is, if. If he had resolved to honor and be faithful to his wife, this would never have grown legs. But there's a reason why these foreign nations have employed these honeypot tactics over and over and over again. This ain't a Disney movie, but this is a tale as old as time. And in the process of him succumbing to, you know, the seductions of the adulteress is what the book of Proverbs would call her. He, in the process, potentially risk jeopardizing national security. So now the FBI is looking into what may or may not have been communicated because the intelligence agencies have evidence that as soon as, the adulteress would leave from Jensen Huang, she would be communicating with Beijing M. Oh, Lord, we need you. We need you.
