The Host Opens With A Call To Faithful Witness
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,
Abraham Hamilton III delivering people 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 everyone. Welcome to the Hamilton Corner. My name is Abraham Hamilton iii. I am the host of the program. Joined by the corner contingent right across from me holding down the control board is none other than our friendly neighborhood woodaholic, Mr. Marty Sparks. Lighting up the dark for us from there. And in the screening room, produce extraordinaire. Often imitated, Never ever, ever, ever, ever. Duplicated successfully, that is. It's the real J. Mac, ladies and gentlemen, and we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program.
Believers Must Discern Deception And Invest In Others
At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you, are making your transition from your part time jobs to your full time jobs. And I want to encourage you to do so with intentionality. And I want to encourage you in this way, yes, even following, the midterm elections, because the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords is not subject to a ballot. And he has ordained you and me for this time that we're planted in so we have the privilege and the opportunity to be about our father's business. So as you're making your transition, I want to encourage you to do so with intentionality. Understanding that you have the opportunity and the privilege to execute the King's commission starting right in your home. You get to fortify those within your charge against seduction and deception. You get to, invest in executing the King's commission and be a, part of expanding his kingdom. You get to invest yourself in other image bearers of God so that they don't repeat the stupidity of people like the Nvidia CEO. You know, how many times do we have to have the same story told over and over and over and over and over and over again? That a man with a pretty significant position in a corporation is seduced by an adulteress and now he has to come out with a statement, you know, having done great violence to his family, to his wife, to his, the people who are closer to him, their ability to trust him, that it's, that it's, it's happened again. It's happened again. That is, by his own admission, by his Own admission. I need to grab a Kleenex if I can, guys. it is quite sad. Thank you. It's quite sad to see these things happening, but this is what we get to be a part of. It's unfortunate that we live in a time period where there has been such a dearth of discernment. But that dearth is not merely a temporal phenomenon. What I mean by that, it isn't something that just happened yesterday, that this has been frankly a generational reality that we become less and less discerning over time. And the simple reality is, and the scripture is going to bear that out, we're going to get to it in a moment. is that when you have a people who are in, who are set to rebel against God, then that blunting of discernment is the inevitable outcome. You know, we talk about the warning we got from Isaiah chapter five, for example. Woe, unto you who call evil good and who call good evil. Who put darkness for light and light for darkness. Well, you have to think about that. The people who are calling evil good, they didn't sit there and say, hey, let me intentionally give the wrong answers to the test. They have been seduced and deceived into embracing frankly antichrist ideology that has marred their ability to distinguish the good, the true and the beautiful from the wicked, the wretched and the wrong.
Repentance And Scripture Address National Moral Confusion
So how do we get out of this, man? There's only one way out. Repentance is the only way out. But in much of the post election follow up analysis we have lots of people that want to talk about number crunching and demographic turnout and all of these things. But we do not have enough people talking about the necessity for repentance. You know, there's lots of conversations about patriotism. Do you remember how George Washington described patriotism? George Washington in his farewell address said anybody who would work to subvert these indispensable pillars of our constitutional republican form of government, they are religion and morality. Anybody who works to subvert those two indispensable pillars in vain. What they call the claim the virtue of patriotism. In other words, George Washington is saying, you can't be a patriot if you undermine fidelity to the God of the Bible. To the word of God we go. Jeremiah chapter 5. Jeremiah chapter 5. Going to start at verse 20. Jeremiah chapter 5, verse 20 is where we're going to begin this evening's program. And this is what the text says. The prophet Jeremiah in this portion of his, the book that bears his name is really rebuking the Nation of Israel. In total, the southern kingdom of Judah and the northern kingdom of Israel. And this is what the text says. Declare this in the house of Jacob. Proclaim it in Judah. Hear this, O foolish and senseless people, who have eyes but do not see, or but see not. Who have ears but hear not. Do you not fear me? Declares the Lord. Do you not tremble before me? I place the sand as the boundary for the sea, a perpetual barrier that it cannot pass. Though the waves toss, they cannot prevail. Though they roar, they cannot pass over it. But this people has a stubborn and rebellious heart. They have turned aside and gone away. What I want you to see is that as the last verse that I read, verse 23 says, this people has a rebellious heart. This people have turned aside. They've gone away.
Founding Warnings Link Civic Virtue With Religious Morality
Well, as that unfolds, brothers and sisters, the reality of the previous verses are demonstrable. There are people, they have optical lenses, but they, they don't see properly. The optical lenses work well, but they do not see. What is the Lord talking about here? He's not saying that their ability to perceive images with their eyes has been hindered. What the Lord is confronting is saying that they don't have the discerning eye. Similarly, people have ears. They got these things. They got. They got these things. You got the canals, you got the stuff that produced the wax. But they don't hear. Why? It's because they don't have a discerning ear. And man. And how many times have I said people quote Jon Adams and talking about our constitutional republican form of government is only adequate for religious and moral people. But you ignore the rest of the quote, the rest of the letter that Jon Adams wrote to the Massachusetts militiamen when he explained if we have a reputation of solidity and righteousness and clear headedness and virtue. But it's what he called a deep simulation, meaning that it's fake, it's not real. That's the reputation. But if that's not what we really are in our hearts and in the inner workings of our interpersonal interactions with our fellow countrymen. Jon Adams warned in 1796 that this would become our nation will become a most miserable habitation. I'm sorry, 1798. A most miserable habitation. He said if we have people in our country and their dispositions are unbridled. This is what he said. Unbridled by religion and morality, man. They'll go through our constitution like a whale goes through a net. That's what Jon Adams 1798 guys. But amazingly, we've lost the plot. We've lost the plot. When I say we, I don't mean that in the overly broad sense. I mean in a generalization sense. I know there's a remnant. I believe I'm a part of the remnant. I believe a significant portion of this audience is a part of the remnant. But what I'm talking about is the broader witness in our country. And I'm also saying it in this fashion, because we, who are the people of God, have to do a better job of communicating God's heart to our fellow countrymen who are bearers of his image.
Church Witness And Righteousness Define National Greatness
Because what has happened, by and large, is that the witness of the Church has diminished over time in our country. I've talked repeatedly about Alexis de Tocqueville's observation, you know, when he was contrasting the American founding, not founding, the American Revolution, with the French Revolution. Him being a Frenchman himself, he's trying to figure out, why is the United States of America thriving and prospering where my home country, where France has degenerated into a bloodbath and a morass of horror? What has happened? And he searched for the source of America's greatness and he sought for it in his political system and didn't find it there. He sought for it in America's banking system and didn't find it there. He sought for it, you know, in these other segments of American society. And he said, this is not my opinion, this is his expression. In his two volume work on democracy published in 1836. He said, it was not until I entered America's sanctuaries and found the pulpits aflamed, in righteousness, that I realized what was the source of America's greatness. His words, quote, america is great because she is good, but when America ceases to be good, she will cease to be great. End quote. Much of the conversation about President Trump's slogan that he borrowed from Ronald Reagan, make America great, have we considered what it takes to make a nation great. What makes a nation great? How does that happen? Is a nation great? Based on the stock market numbers, does that make a nation great? Sure, that's good to have. But I would argue biblically, that doesn't make a nation great. Does a robust military, the greatest fighting force in the history of the world, does that make a nation great? We, as the United States of America, should be able to roundly say with the unanimous, thunderous, no, that doesn't make a nation great. Because our nation's origin story is kind of like a David and Goliath, you Know, they got a Goliath with spears and, and javelins that's the size of men, you know, but what we have is five stones and a sling. Oh, yeah, by the way, and the Lord of hosts, we should be able to immediately say, oh, no, no, no, that's not what makes our nation great. But what's happened over time. The metrics. The metrics for how we assess greatness of a nation, they've drifted away. The metrics are how we assess patriotism. They don't reflect George Washington's farewell address. So then what happens? What happens as that happens? And that becomes a generational phenomenon? You have this. Oh, Jeremiah 5. 21. Oh, foolish and senseless people who have eyes but don't see, who have ears but don't hear. Now, I'm sharing this with you not for despondency at all, really, as a call for the people of God to arise, to meet the moment that we're in currently.
The Church And Family Must Make Disciples Across Generations
And I want to be clear about something. I'm not placing, the rebellion of our nation at the foot of the Lord's remnant. But we have an obligation to understand the times that we're in. When Jon Adams said that our Constitution is only adequate for religious and moral people, he said that knowing that government doesn't produce religious and moral people. So what's the only institution m that does that? Well, really, it's two. It's the church with the family as a foundation for the church. How effective have we been in our country in making disciples generationally? That is a hard question, but a necessary question to ask. How effective has the body of Christ in our country been in executing the thing Jesus told us to do? There's lots of things we can do, but one thing Jesus told us to do. Go ye, therefore, and make disciples of all ethnos, teaching them to obey everything that Jesus commanded, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. That's what Jesus said. Matthew, chapter 28, verses 19 and 20. It's right there in the scripture. But have we obeyed what the Lord has commanded us? And see the privilege to obey our Lord. The celebration is in obeying the divine potentate of time in eternity. And we trust him with the results. But if we have moved into an idolatrous disposition, we are not as invested and the opportunity to obey the sovereign king. Hello, I'm Abraham Hamilton iii.

Abraham Hamilton III Light into the darkness.
Van Jones Celebrates Democrats And Sets Up Affordability Claims
This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
Abraham Hamilton III Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here. Speaking of discernment, buckle your seat belts for this one because I'm. Yeah, y'. All, Y' all are about to be upset. so I came across this clip that I'm about to play for you early this morning, as I was preparing for today's program. And it's a clip from Vanliere Jones. And I'm not gonna play it just yet because I want to set it up during the clip. Vanliere Jones is gleeful. I mean, he cannot contain himself. He is rejoicing about the Democrats victory in the midterm elections. He specifically says, this is not gonna be a part of the clip I play for you. But. But the portions that lead up, that transpired before the portion. I pray for you. You talking about. Yeah, we whooped him. He uses we over and over and over in describing the Democrat Party because I know he is, a regressive and a sick. A fan of the Democrat Party. And what the clip is going to talk about is how he, in his view, the Democrats were successful in articulating, the. What he calls the affordability message. Right. But even before this, because this is something I had been talking to Bobby about for quite some time. I was doing some digging and I was looking in the numbers, and it's like, wow, if you look back at what the environment was in the economy in 2022, for example, during the midterm elections under Mr. Ice Cream man, the economy was way. Was. The economy was worse than. Than it is now. But do you recall anybody talking about affordability in 2022? I don't. Now, on the one hand, of course, you have the lying, talking snake media who basically was playing goalie for anything that could be viewed as a negative in relationship to Mr. M. Biden's presidency. I mean, and presidency. I mean, they wanted to tell us. We were crazy for saying, we know the lights are on, but not everybody's home upstairs. They're like, you are just cruel because he has a stutter. Remember that. Let me give you a couple of examples of the comparisons. Right?
Economic Comparisons Reveal Messaging And Policy Complications
So in 2022, the inflation rate was 9.1%. You want, to know what the inflation rate was last week? Last Tuesday on election day, 3.3%. 3.3% per family income. Per family income today. Now, I understand prices are another thing, but per family income has hit the highest it's ever been in the United States of America as of last Tuesday. $87,000 per family. That's the highest it's ever been in the country. It's the highest it's ever been. Gas prices. There's been a lot of conversation about gas prices. Do you realize in 2022, gas hit $5 a gallon in January? I'm starting July, not January, in July. And on election day of 2020, 22, gas was. Guess how much. $4.03. Guess what gas was last Tuesday? $4.06. Not much difference. Right. it's just amazing. The gross domestic product, the GDP just hit 3. 3.4%. The next projection showed the GDP will grow by 5%. In 2022, it was less than 2%. I mean, we can go over these numbers over and over and over again now. Now, none of this excuses the reality that pricing is higher. So you do have the reality that when Mr. Ice M Cream man took over in 2020, inflation was only at 1.9%. So when inflation shot up to 9.1% under Mr. M Ice Cream man, it was a novel thing for the United States of America. And let's be fair, a lot of that inflation in the transition period came as a result of some of the policies President Trump implemented at the end of his 2016 term due to shmovit responses. All right, that's just true. But you go forward, you have now President Trump coming back in, and he inherits, an over 5% inflation rate, which he's able to get down in a short, short amount of time. But what I'm pointing out is that there was a messaging problem because President Trump came in saying, we're going to, we're going to make sure everything. We're going to make everything lower. We're going to. He said, we're going to make everything affordable. Well, the reality is you can't. You don't control prices through the Oval Office. And what he meant, based on what he did, was he's going to attack the inflation rate. That's what he meant. But the pricing did go. But my point in sharing this is, is that the economy, frankly, frankly, prices are higher. No doubt tariffs had an effect upon that. And, and I also think that the Iran war, which. Count me among the group, that it is unfathomable, fathomable to me for the zealots in Iran to have a nuclear Weapon. But the president promised no more foreign wars. That's what he promised. So how are you going to square that circle? But what I want you to see here is that the conversation, the zealous conversation about affordability, it was not an organic conversation.
Van Jones Describes Coordinated Online Affordability Campaign
Folks, this is not my opinion. Vanliere Jones got out his peacock feathers and wanted to take a celebration strut and spike the football and was so excited to say. I can tell y' all this now because this is what happened. Listen to and watch it. Listen closely and watch closely. Clip number one from Vanliere Jones. Clip number one. Go.
Vanliere Jones Now it can be told. Now it can be told. How did we win the narrative on affordability? Was it just these nice little Democrats out there running for office and going to. No, the Republicans never figured out what we were doing. There's something called the American Accountability Network. Tens of thousands of online humans, not bots, coordinated to make the affordability message a winning message. Online, 32.5 million, people hit on Instagram every day. M. 88.8 million hit on Twitter every single day. And 185 million Facebook, hits every single day. And they never figured it out. The Republicans could not understand. It wasn't bots, it was actual human beings. The most effective online organizing campaign called the American Accountability Network flew under the radar screen. Never been told. And they were talking
Jeff Chamblee about the issue, or they were saying, you need to elect Democrats deal with this.
Vanliere Jones Driving the kitchen table affordability message and tying that to Democrats on a positive and Republicans on a negative. The Republicans never figured out what we were doing. And what that meant was, everywhere you go, people were talking about affordability and they were talking about kitchen table issues. They couldn't get any traction on these cultural war issues anymore because we figured out how to get around all that. So it's not just all the door knocking that was done, which is amazing. It's not just our amazing candidate quality. We had something called the American Accountability Network. Don't get mad at me. I was given permission to reveal this. They never figured it out. And that network is going to continue to push for kitchen table issues and hold our Democratic lawmakers accountable.
Hamilton Calls Online Political Messaging A Manufactured Perception
Jeff Chamblee That's fascinating, Vanliere Jones. Well, I hope you don't get in trouble, but thank you. I
Vanliere Jones got permission
Jeff Chamblee tonight.
Vanliere Jones Now it can be told.
Abraham Hamilton III Now it can be told. I have permission. I got permission to say it now. Now it can be told. What can be told, Vanliere? Oh, yeah, you know, we just, you know, we have this, you know, American Accountability Network, which, you know, I did a little digging on Them and with the American Accountability Network. You know, the website was created in 2025. From what money, I wonder? Geez. It was created for one purpose and one purpose only. To counter the dominance of conservatives in the social media, in the podcast digital space. That's the whole purpose. Vanliere Jones says they hired 10,000 people to engage social media every day. His numbers 32 and a half million on Instagram, 88 point million on on X every day, 185 million on Facebook. Every day. Every day for what? Now, he didn't want to admit this part, but the reporter asked him a follow up question. He had to admit it. So what, are they just discussing affordability issue? No, we're discussing affordability whenever we say it. And say something positive concerning affordability, connect that to the Democrats. Anytime you say something negative about affordability, connect that to the Republicans. So in other words, you manufactured this affordability conversation because if you look at the data objectively, the economy is actually better right now than than it was in 2022. In 2022, the Republicans didn't see a red tsunami. Oh no, they didn't see that. Nobody was Talking affordability when Mr. M. Ice cream man was in office. Geez, I wonder why. And here's where I'm getting to about discernment.
Algorithms And Economic Illiteracy Make Voters Easier To Mislead
You've heard me say numerous times, man, get outside, put your feet on the pavement and touch some grass, some flora and fauna, because the Internet is not the real world. The Internet is not the real world. Vanliere Jones just admitted they took advantage of people's attention devoted to the Internet to twist their perception of reality for political purposes. Yeah. Mm mm Of course, obvious things, obviously things economically are not perfect. They're not worse than they were when Mr. Ice Cream man was in office. So why is there such a perception of this now? As I said earlier, the Iran war or conflict, whatever you want to call it, gave cover for this type of messaging to take root because people have a basic grasp of an understanding, but we don't have a lot. We don't by and large have a populace that will dig into the details, but it's an easy connection for them. Well, the gas of the pump is higher. That means everything else is going to be higher. That's why everything is higher, because we don't, we didn't, we weren't provided a thorough understanding and communication of inflation versus prices and how those things work. Now, no doubt that's the part of the administration, that's where they came up short. But what I want you to see very plainly in Vanliere Jones is giddy as a schoolgirl. To say it to you is that the American public has been played. has been played. That the entire discourse, the entire discourse was the product of political calculated manufacture. The discourse on affordability. That is wild. That is wild. Yes. Martyr Sander is going to continue. And this is part of the reason. Look well into the matter in. In the United States of America, we have a large country, so there are people on various places and various, circumstances that are struggling in different ways. But is that indicative of the entire communication? You know, for example, 160 some thousand jobs just added to the economy at the close of October. Here's another thing. Here's another thing. Did you notice how Vanliere Jones said that they were looking for a way to cut the impact of messaging on, what he called, quote, unquote, culture war issues? I want to tell you it's not cultural issues. It's righteousness. It's just truth and righteousness.
Moral Issues And Political Arrogance Underscore His Discernment Warning
But they would call them culture war issues because they don't want to reflect on them as truth and righteousness. You know, things like men are, cannot be women. You know, things like children should be protected and not have their genitalia cut off or have medications forced upon them that will hinder, if not completely eradicate, the capacity to reproduce. When they get older, they want to call it a cultural issue. That's not a culture war issue. That's a truth righteousness issue. That's a justice issue. That's a judgment issue. But they want to describe it as a culture war issue. So they wanted to pick something that will override that. So enter Vanliere Jones. And look, you hear, how happy he was. He couldn't wait to disclose it. I know some people are thinking, well, well, hey, why would they disclose this now? Why, why, why would. Why would they disclose it now? There must be some reason. Let me tell you very plain. There's no reason. It's no reason. It's the. It's the pride that's associated with wickedness and regressivism that they cannot help but preen like a peacock and pound their chest and flex. We won, you lost. It's nothing more profound than that. Because they also believe that they are in a place where they have unassailable political power. So they feel like, yeah, we'll flex. There's nothing you can do about it now. But, you know, biblically, arrogance precedes what, pride precedes what. But they don't know. These are the same people that celebrate using a rainbow for their celebrations use God's bow for their celebration, not knowing that it's a pronouncement of their own judgment. Here's another thing. Let's, let's dig into this a little bit further. What groups of people spend the, spend most of their time on the Internet? Surely we have certain segments and I even know people say, well, Facebook, it's not as, not as cool today as it used to be. But by and large, who gets their information from the Internet? Younger people. Younger people. The same younger people that were deprived of an economics education as they grew up. So even if they were interested in finding the real numbers concerning the economy, do you think they would know where to go? Or is the algorithm going to feed them what they already think is true and get the dopamine hit of affirmation, and then that becomes ubiquitous conversation amongst their peer groups and then it's, it's reported. That's why I tell my, my peers, frankly in, in media, man, don't just try to see what's on the, on X. Just because it's trending on X don't mean it's real. Don't mean it's real. So you got folks, many of them, who don't even understand economics at all in the first place, can't explain inflation to you at all in the first place. Not everybody, but many of them. And so they hear what they already believe and it's affirmed, repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly. And then all of a sudden, you know, you, you have, well, we have to address affordability. And even that word itself is a subjective reality because certain things that's affordable for Marty, I can't afford. So it's affordable to Marty. Doesn't mean it's affordable for me. But what's happened is what I alluded to in the first segment. We've had an eradication, a blunting of discernment, so we can't even tell when we're being played until it's too late. And so now you have people who were duped with the psyop of affordability. They're answering their affordability questions by electing Marxists and communists and Islamists. Tell me how much sense that makes and tell me, what do you expect a, Marxist to do with an economy when they be given access to the levers of power? Has anybody ever heard of Venezuela?

Abraham Hamilton III The Hamilton Corner podcast and one minute commentaries are available at afr.net back to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
Abraham Hamilton III Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here. We're already in the third segment.
Hamilton Returns To Politics And Prepares A Moral Reflection
It's amazing, man. Marty was saying during the break another reason why Vanliere Jones wants to come out. And, we can tell it now, whatever he said, Ivy said that is because he wants to run to the front of the line to be the next James Carver, the next spokesperson for the Democrat Party. He wants to be the one that people run to as the spokesmouth because they're feeling rather triumphant at the moment. But guys, that's wild, man. Because if you look at the data objectively, the economy was better last Tuesday than it was in 2022. I also think a complication was that the message President Trump gave when he initially came into office and, discussing his commitment to attacking prices and things of that nature, but he didn't explain the difference between the inflation rate and prices. There needed to be a bit more skillful, communication as to that distinction as to what was planned by the administration. But it's interesting. next I want to talk a little bit about the reality. And this is, you know, coming from the perspective that God has planted us in this time in our nation for his purpose and his glory. It's crazy, man.
Hamilton Condemns Jokes About Charlie Kirk’s Assassination
So footage of Dave Chappelle in Madison Square Garden, was leaked. I, I don't know who leaked it, but I saw it, the degradation of our society, man. It's pretty sad. I mean, it used to be that we didn't treat or discuss dead people in the way that we're doing it today. And, I shouldn't be surprised that as we have, you know, we've gone from, you know, people shouting their abortions on national political platforms and fighting for, as my sister Miki says, the lie that was passed off as law to slaughter one's unborn children or unborn child before they have the opportunity to exhale outside of the womb. Even. Even seeing, after the midterm elections, you have women in the northeast of our country celebrating. Abortion is back, baby. You know, I saw one person say, I'm gonna put my black card down at my local abortion clinic. Anybody who wants one, come and get it. It's on me. I'm like, what? Y' all think that's funny? Man, that's sick, man. That's sick. That's sick. And we're supposed to be a society that we uphold values, you know, the inalienable right, the unalienable right to speak freely, you know. Yet Charlie Kirk is murdered doing that very thing. And Dave Chappelle, who is a comedian, the sassa crack jokes about it, but in a very, very grotesque way. And, you know, I was grateful to learn there were people who was. Who were at his. His show in Madison Square Garden. They got up and left when they heard this, But a pretty large portion of the crowd was laughing right along with Dave Chappelle. What am I talking about? During his standup routine, he literally goes on to say that he felt better after learning that Charlie Kirk had been murdered. I'm not kidding. That's why I'm gonna play it. So you can hear it with your own two ears and see it with your own two eyes. Those for you. Who are those of you who are watching? The video is grainy, clearly taken on the cell phone from a bit of a distance in Madison Square Garden, but you can see clear enough and you can hear the audio very well. Listen to and watch clip two. Clip number two. Go.
Vanliere Jones I feel up saying this. It's scary being a public speaker. And I. I mean, look, ever since that guy, Charlie Kirk got murdered, and I. I shouldn't say this publicly, but
Dave Chappelle I feel better. M shouldn't say that, but
Speaker L it's just a feeling.
Abraham Hamilton III Now, you heard him say, now, I know I shouldn't say that. If you shouldn't say it, then, then don't say it. You know, it. It. You know, his occupation is comedian. But that was not funny. That was not funny. And I would have said the same thing no matter who it was. Like the Lord himself says he doesn't Rejoice in the death of the wicked. You guys know when I've said on the show numerous times, whenever I hear somebody passing away, my first thought is, where would they spend eternity? That's my first thought. You know, he goes on in that routine to say, implying Charlie Kirk is in hell, saying that Charlie Kirk is looking up at us right now. He said that? He sure did. He sure did. Like, what is happening to us, man? What's happening to us? And it, it's sad, man.
Podcast Hosts’ Laughter At Kirk’s Murder Sparks Further Outrage
It's sad. And I'm not even talking about, political orientation or whatever. It's like, so, ah, are we going to be a society that we're going to continue to denigrate people? Like, we're going to rejoice at somebody's death because we have a different opinion than them on something that that's what we're gonna do. Death. I'm talking about death. This follows. You know, you had these two vile women. They're vile. what is her name? Jennifer Welch. Jennifer Welch hosts a podcast called I've Had It. She's a very profane and a very vile woman. She's joined by another vile woman named Angie Sullivan. And this was the day after the midterm elections last, Wednesday, when they were reading posts to social media from some of their supporters, who listen to their podcast and reading, them live on the air. And. You know, just to give you an idea, some of the stuff that they were reading. I'm not even. That's too crass for me to even say. I'm not even. I can't. I'm not even going to read that. I'm not even going to read that. They were reading a succession of posts on social media. And, one of the supporters of their show said, you don't hear for yourself now. This is how they're celebrating the midterm election wins by Democrats. That's how they're celebrating it. One of their, supporters said, well, we need to dig, up Charlie Kirk's body and do it again. And the hosts of the show laugh voraciously for like 30 seconds. I want you to see it. Clip number three. Clip three. Go
Speaker M early. Kirk is doing it again.
Abraham Hamilton III Might have to start it over because it kind of came on in the middle of it.
Speaker M dad, Moreau says, we're digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again.
Abraham Hamilton III Now they're just laughing, just laughing, just laughing.
Vanliere Jones I'm zooming in for Fox,
Abraham Hamilton III like, like that's funny. They're zooming in for Fox. This is how they're celebrating the electoral victory. What they perceive as their electoral. No comment.
Speaker N No comment. No comment. You've
Abraham Hamilton III already commented.
Speaker O Other than he was shot by somebody. That was super MAGA family.
Speaker M He was shot by a MAGA person.
Speaker O Right. So,
Speaker O do that with what you will.
Abraham Hamilton III So now, white
Speaker M person, white MAGA family.
Abraham Hamilton III So not only are they demonstrating an evil willingness to laugh at somebody's murder, but they're also willing to speak complete falsities for public consumption. Like, I mean, you don't have to do a lot of homework. You can just do a little homework. The person standing trial for murdering Charlie Kirk, his voting record is available. Dude ain't even vote in the last two elections. No rel. No. No political affiliation. But you just. Where. Where did you get that from? That's a MAGA person who is a furry. Who has a furry for a boyfriend. Man. this is. And so I want to be. I have to be fair in this regard. There were a lot of people who found that display objectionable. Even other Democrats condemned them for this. Sponsors dropped their podcast. All right, Rightfully so. Rightfully so. And then after all of that, they came out and apologized. But I want to ask you, do you think their apology is genuine or what they were doing when they were genuinely reading those posts on the podcast? And when they were apologizing, were they apologizing in an effort to get their sponsors to come back? Or were they apologizing because they were gripped at the core at the utter inhumanity it is to laugh at a man who left two babies here. Man left his babies because of a sick, twisted, demented, evil person murdered him. That's what you want to be. That's what you want to be. Now, if you want to say the. The. The. The murderer's parents prop. May have voted for President Trump. They didn't murder. They didn't murder Charlie Kirk. But it's sad, man. It's sad. It's sad. I believe they were being honest when they were laughing. That's why I wanted you to see it for yourself.
Hamilton Urges Repentance And Prayer For President Trump
Guys, this is the time that God has planted the people of God, because we have to address this, not just talk about it as being distasteful. We are the people. The people of God are able to explain that that kind of disposition comes from a heart that is blackened by the evil one. You get a lot of people saying that that was an inappropriate comment. You won't get enough people saying that you need to repent. That's only going to come from one Source. And to that end, man, I want to ask you to continue to pray for President Trump because in his 60 Minutes interview that just aired this weekend, he demonstrated that he doesn't understand the gospel. He demonstrated that he does not understand the gospel. I'm running out of time, so I got to move a little quickly. I want you to hear this first part first. Because he identifies himself as a religious person who does not want to go to hell. Listen to him say that in his own words. Clip 4. Go.
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) Let's talk about death. Okay. You have survived multiple assassination attacks. One came very, very close to you. I imagine that that had some kind of effect on how you think about mortality. What do you think happens when you die?
Donald Trump Well, I hope I missed.
Speaker R I mean, to you. No, but I really mean m. I hope
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) I missed. I understand. I mean to you. I think I've done
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) a good job.
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) What do you think happens to Donald Trump when you. Well, again,
Bert Harper not
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) your memory yourself.
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) You mean where I go exactly? Well,
Donald Trump I'm a religious person, so in theory, I go to heaven.
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) Do you think you're going to heaven?
Donald Trump I hope so. I don't want to go to hell.
Abraham Hamilton III In theory, I go to heaven. Do you think you're going to heaven? I hope so. Somebody needs to let the President know that he has the capacity to have security in faith for the sake of time. Let me hurry up, because I want you to hear this part, too. The President doesn't understand the power of forgiveness. Listen to clip number five. Clip five. Go.
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) You pass away. You're entering the next life, and all you have to do to enter paradise is feel love and forgiveness for James Comey, Nancy Pelosi, anyone who you have expressed hate for over the years. Do you think you can do it? Well,
Donald Trump then I wouldn't be real, would I? I mean, if I said to you, sure, the easy answer to that, oh, yes, I
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) could forgive. No, I don't think it's an easy question. I found them to be
Donald Trump extremely dishonest people. Very bad people. Very bad for our country. I love our country far more than I can love people. And people
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) like that. Is the answer
Bert Harper no?
Donald Trump The answer is no. I want to be honest.
Bert Harper Before the
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) judgment.
Bert Harper Throne of God.
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) Before
Donald Trump the judgment. No, I think there were very bad people. And, I dislike. I can use the word hate. I do hate some of my enemies. I think they've been terrible. Look what they put me through. The weaponization.
Bert Harper I
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) get. Mr. President. Mr. President, you have had the most charmed and remarkable life of any American in my entire lifetime. And you are telling me you couldn't find it in your heart to forgive some of your enemies? after all that's been given to you,
Bert Harper I mean, it's such an easy answer. All I have to do is say, yes, I can.
Donald Trump I
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) again, I
Bert Harper don't think it's an easy answer. That's why I asked. Can
Donald Trump I be honest? I probably cannot do that now. Because I do hate some of my enemies. And I always will.
Abraham Hamilton III The President needs prayer. Forgiveness is not something you will yourself toward. It is the byproduct of the work of the Spirit of God. I believe this is a moment that God allowed us to see, to know with a bit more clarity how we should pray for the President. He shouldn't be comfortable saying that I hate them, and I always will. I pray that the Lord dispatches his hands and feet to help the President see the clarity of the Gospel.

The Host Opens With A Call To Faithful Witness
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,
Abraham Hamilton III delivering people 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 everyone. Welcome to the Hamilton Corner. My name is Abraham Hamilton iii. I am the host of the program. Joined by the corner contingent right across from me holding down the control board is none other than our friendly neighborhood woodaholic, Mr. Marty Sparks. Lighting up the dark for us from there. And in the screening room, produce extraordinaire. Often imitated, Never ever, ever, ever, ever. Duplicated successfully, that is. It's the real J. Mac, ladies and gentlemen, and we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program.
Believers Must Discern Deception And Invest In Others
At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you, are making your transition from your part time jobs to your full time jobs. And I want to encourage you to do so with intentionality. And I want to encourage you in this way, yes, even following, the midterm elections, because the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords is not subject to a ballot. And he has ordained you and me for this time that we're planted in so we have the privilege and the opportunity to be about our father's business. So as you're making your transition, I want to encourage you to do so with intentionality. Understanding that you have the opportunity and the privilege to execute the King's commission starting right in your home. You get to fortify those within your charge against seduction and deception. You get to, invest in executing the King's commission and be a, part of expanding his kingdom. You get to invest yourself in other image bearers of God so that they don't repeat the stupidity of people like the Nvidia CEO. You know, how many times do we have to have the same story told over and over and over and over and over and over again? That a man with a pretty significant position in a corporation is seduced by an adulteress and now he has to come out with a statement, you know, having done great violence to his family, to his wife, to his, the people who are closer to him, their ability to trust him, that it's, that it's, it's happened again. It's happened again. That is, by his own admission, by his Own admission. I need to grab a Kleenex if I can, guys. it is quite sad. Thank you. It's quite sad to see these things happening, but this is what we get to be a part of. It's unfortunate that we live in a time period where there has been such a dearth of discernment. But that dearth is not merely a temporal phenomenon. What I mean by that, it isn't something that just happened yesterday, that this has been frankly a generational reality that we become less and less discerning over time. And the simple reality is, and the scripture is going to bear that out, we're going to get to it in a moment. is that when you have a people who are in, who are set to rebel against God, then that blunting of discernment is the inevitable outcome. You know, we talk about the warning we got from Isaiah chapter five, for example. Woe, unto you who call evil good and who call good evil. Who put darkness for light and light for darkness. Well, you have to think about that. The people who are calling evil good, they didn't sit there and say, hey, let me intentionally give the wrong answers to the test. They have been seduced and deceived into embracing frankly antichrist ideology that has marred their ability to distinguish the good, the true and the beautiful from the wicked, the wretched and the wrong.
Repentance And Scripture Address National Moral Confusion
So how do we get out of this, man? There's only one way out. Repentance is the only way out. But in much of the post election follow up analysis we have lots of people that want to talk about number crunching and demographic turnout and all of these things. But we do not have enough people talking about the necessity for repentance. You know, there's lots of conversations about patriotism. Do you remember how George Washington described patriotism? George Washington in his farewell address said anybody who would work to subvert these indispensable pillars of our constitutional republican form of government, they are religion and morality. Anybody who works to subvert those two indispensable pillars in vain. What they call the claim the virtue of patriotism. In other words, George Washington is saying, you can't be a patriot if you undermine fidelity to the God of the Bible. To the word of God we go. Jeremiah chapter 5. Jeremiah chapter 5. Going to start at verse 20. Jeremiah chapter 5, verse 20 is where we're going to begin this evening's program. And this is what the text says. The prophet Jeremiah in this portion of his, the book that bears his name is really rebuking the Nation of Israel. In total, the southern kingdom of Judah and the northern kingdom of Israel. And this is what the text says. Declare this in the house of Jacob. Proclaim it in Judah. Hear this, O foolish and senseless people, who have eyes but do not see, or but see not. Who have ears but hear not. Do you not fear me? Declares the Lord. Do you not tremble before me? I place the sand as the boundary for the sea, a perpetual barrier that it cannot pass. Though the waves toss, they cannot prevail. Though they roar, they cannot pass over it. But this people has a stubborn and rebellious heart. They have turned aside and gone away. What I want you to see is that as the last verse that I read, verse 23 says, this people has a rebellious heart. This people have turned aside. They've gone away.
Founding Warnings Link Civic Virtue With Religious Morality
Well, as that unfolds, brothers and sisters, the reality of the previous verses are demonstrable. There are people, they have optical lenses, but they, they don't see properly. The optical lenses work well, but they do not see. What is the Lord talking about here? He's not saying that their ability to perceive images with their eyes has been hindered. What the Lord is confronting is saying that they don't have the discerning eye. Similarly, people have ears. They got these things. They got. They got these things. You got the canals, you got the stuff that produced the wax. But they don't hear. Why? It's because they don't have a discerning ear. And man. And how many times have I said people quote Jon Adams and talking about our constitutional republican form of government is only adequate for religious and moral people. But you ignore the rest of the quote, the rest of the letter that Jon Adams wrote to the Massachusetts militiamen when he explained if we have a reputation of solidity and righteousness and clear headedness and virtue. But it's what he called a deep simulation, meaning that it's fake, it's not real. That's the reputation. But if that's not what we really are in our hearts and in the inner workings of our interpersonal interactions with our fellow countrymen. Jon Adams warned in 1796 that this would become our nation will become a most miserable habitation. I'm sorry, 1798. A most miserable habitation. He said if we have people in our country and their dispositions are unbridled. This is what he said. Unbridled by religion and morality, man. They'll go through our constitution like a whale goes through a net. That's what Jon Adams 1798 guys. But amazingly, we've lost the plot. We've lost the plot. When I say we, I don't mean that in the overly broad sense. I mean in a generalization sense. I know there's a remnant. I believe I'm a part of the remnant. I believe a significant portion of this audience is a part of the remnant. But what I'm talking about is the broader witness in our country. And I'm also saying it in this fashion, because we, who are the people of God, have to do a better job of communicating God's heart to our fellow countrymen who are bearers of his image.
Church Witness And Righteousness Define National Greatness
Because what has happened, by and large, is that the witness of the Church has diminished over time in our country. I've talked repeatedly about Alexis de Tocqueville's observation, you know, when he was contrasting the American founding, not founding, the American Revolution, with the French Revolution. Him being a Frenchman himself, he's trying to figure out, why is the United States of America thriving and prospering where my home country, where France has degenerated into a bloodbath and a morass of horror? What has happened? And he searched for the source of America's greatness and he sought for it in his political system and didn't find it there. He sought for it in America's banking system and didn't find it there. He sought for it, you know, in these other segments of American society. And he said, this is not my opinion, this is his expression. In his two volume work on democracy published in 1836. He said, it was not until I entered America's sanctuaries and found the pulpits aflamed, in righteousness, that I realized what was the source of America's greatness. His words, quote, america is great because she is good, but when America ceases to be good, she will cease to be great. End quote. Much of the conversation about President Trump's slogan that he borrowed from Ronald Reagan, make America great, have we considered what it takes to make a nation great. What makes a nation great? How does that happen? Is a nation great? Based on the stock market numbers, does that make a nation great? Sure, that's good to have. But I would argue biblically, that doesn't make a nation great. Does a robust military, the greatest fighting force in the history of the world, does that make a nation great? We, as the United States of America, should be able to roundly say with the unanimous, thunderous, no, that doesn't make a nation great. Because our nation's origin story is kind of like a David and Goliath, you Know, they got a Goliath with spears and, and javelins that's the size of men, you know, but what we have is five stones and a sling. Oh, yeah, by the way, and the Lord of hosts, we should be able to immediately say, oh, no, no, no, that's not what makes our nation great. But what's happened over time. The metrics. The metrics for how we assess greatness of a nation, they've drifted away. The metrics are how we assess patriotism. They don't reflect George Washington's farewell address. So then what happens? What happens as that happens? And that becomes a generational phenomenon? You have this. Oh, Jeremiah 5. 21. Oh, foolish and senseless people who have eyes but don't see, who have ears but don't hear. Now, I'm sharing this with you not for despondency at all, really, as a call for the people of God to arise, to meet the moment that we're in currently.
The Church And Family Must Make Disciples Across Generations
And I want to be clear about something. I'm not placing, the rebellion of our nation at the foot of the Lord's remnant. But we have an obligation to understand the times that we're in. When Jon Adams said that our Constitution is only adequate for religious and moral people, he said that knowing that government doesn't produce religious and moral people. So what's the only institution m that does that? Well, really, it's two. It's the church with the family as a foundation for the church. How effective have we been in our country in making disciples generationally? That is a hard question, but a necessary question to ask. How effective has the body of Christ in our country been in executing the thing Jesus told us to do? There's lots of things we can do, but one thing Jesus told us to do. Go ye, therefore, and make disciples of all ethnos, teaching them to obey everything that Jesus commanded, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. That's what Jesus said. Matthew, chapter 28, verses 19 and 20. It's right there in the scripture. But have we obeyed what the Lord has commanded us? And see the privilege to obey our Lord. The celebration is in obeying the divine potentate of time in eternity. And we trust him with the results. But if we have moved into an idolatrous disposition, we are not as invested and the opportunity to obey the sovereign king. Hello, I'm Abraham Hamilton iii.

Abraham Hamilton III Light into the darkness.
Van Jones Celebrates Democrats And Sets Up Affordability Claims
This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.
Abraham Hamilton III Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here. Speaking of discernment, buckle your seat belts for this one because I'm. Yeah, y'. All, Y' all are about to be upset. so I came across this clip that I'm about to play for you early this morning, as I was preparing for today's program. And it's a clip from Vanliere Jones. And I'm not gonna play it just yet because I want to set it up during the clip. Vanliere Jones is gleeful. I mean, he cannot contain himself. He is rejoicing about the Democrats victory in the midterm elections. He specifically says, this is not gonna be a part of the clip I play for you. But. But the portions that lead up, that transpired before the portion. I pray for you. You talking about. Yeah, we whooped him. He uses we over and over and over in describing the Democrat Party because I know he is, a regressive and a sick. A fan of the Democrat Party. And what the clip is going to talk about is how he, in his view, the Democrats were successful in articulating, the. What he calls the affordability message. Right. But even before this, because this is something I had been talking to Bobby about for quite some time. I was doing some digging and I was looking in the numbers, and it's like, wow, if you look back at what the environment was in the economy in 2022, for example, during the midterm elections under Mr. Ice Cream man, the economy was way. Was. The economy was worse than. Than it is now. But do you recall anybody talking about affordability in 2022? I don't. Now, on the one hand, of course, you have the lying, talking snake media who basically was playing goalie for anything that could be viewed as a negative in relationship to Mr. M. Biden's presidency. I mean, and presidency. I mean, they wanted to tell us. We were crazy for saying, we know the lights are on, but not everybody's home upstairs. They're like, you are just cruel because he has a stutter. Remember that. Let me give you a couple of examples of the comparisons. Right?
Economic Comparisons Reveal Messaging And Policy Complications
So in 2022, the inflation rate was 9.1%. You want, to know what the inflation rate was last week? Last Tuesday on election day, 3.3%. 3.3% per family income. Per family income today. Now, I understand prices are another thing, but per family income has hit the highest it's ever been in the United States of America as of last Tuesday. $87,000 per family. That's the highest it's ever been in the country. It's the highest it's ever been. Gas prices. There's been a lot of conversation about gas prices. Do you realize in 2022, gas hit $5 a gallon in January? I'm starting July, not January, in July. And on election day of 2020, 22, gas was. Guess how much. $4.03. Guess what gas was last Tuesday? $4.06. Not much difference. Right. it's just amazing. The gross domestic product, the GDP just hit 3. 3.4%. The next projection showed the GDP will grow by 5%. In 2022, it was less than 2%. I mean, we can go over these numbers over and over and over again now. Now, none of this excuses the reality that pricing is higher. So you do have the reality that when Mr. Ice M Cream man took over in 2020, inflation was only at 1.9%. So when inflation shot up to 9.1% under Mr. M Ice Cream man, it was a novel thing for the United States of America. And let's be fair, a lot of that inflation in the transition period came as a result of some of the policies President Trump implemented at the end of his 2016 term due to shmovit responses. All right, that's just true. But you go forward, you have now President Trump coming back in, and he inherits, an over 5% inflation rate, which he's able to get down in a short, short amount of time. But what I'm pointing out is that there was a messaging problem because President Trump came in saying, we're going to, we're going to make sure everything. We're going to make everything lower. We're going to. He said, we're going to make everything affordable. Well, the reality is you can't. You don't control prices through the Oval Office. And what he meant, based on what he did, was he's going to attack the inflation rate. That's what he meant. But the pricing did go. But my point in sharing this is, is that the economy, frankly, frankly, prices are higher. No doubt tariffs had an effect upon that. And, and I also think that the Iran war, which. Count me among the group, that it is unfathomable, fathomable to me for the zealots in Iran to have a nuclear Weapon. But the president promised no more foreign wars. That's what he promised. So how are you going to square that circle? But what I want you to see here is that the conversation, the zealous conversation about affordability, it was not an organic conversation.
Van Jones Describes Coordinated Online Affordability Campaign
Folks, this is not my opinion. Vanliere Jones got out his peacock feathers and wanted to take a celebration strut and spike the football and was so excited to say. I can tell y' all this now because this is what happened. Listen to and watch it. Listen closely and watch closely. Clip number one from Vanliere Jones. Clip number one. Go.
Vanliere Jones Now it can be told. Now it can be told. How did we win the narrative on affordability? Was it just these nice little Democrats out there running for office and going to. No, the Republicans never figured out what we were doing. There's something called the American Accountability Network. Tens of thousands of online humans, not bots, coordinated to make the affordability message a winning message. Online, 32.5 million, people hit on Instagram every day. M. 88.8 million hit on Twitter every single day. And 185 million Facebook, hits every single day. And they never figured it out. The Republicans could not understand. It wasn't bots, it was actual human beings. The most effective online organizing campaign called the American Accountability Network flew under the radar screen. Never been told. And they were talking
Jeff Chamblee about the issue, or they were saying, you need to elect Democrats deal with this.
Vanliere Jones Driving the kitchen table affordability message and tying that to Democrats on a positive and Republicans on a negative. The Republicans never figured out what we were doing. And what that meant was, everywhere you go, people were talking about affordability and they were talking about kitchen table issues. They couldn't get any traction on these cultural war issues anymore because we figured out how to get around all that. So it's not just all the door knocking that was done, which is amazing. It's not just our amazing candidate quality. We had something called the American Accountability Network. Don't get mad at me. I was given permission to reveal this. They never figured it out. And that network is going to continue to push for kitchen table issues and hold our Democratic lawmakers accountable.
Hamilton Calls Online Political Messaging A Manufactured Perception
Jeff Chamblee That's fascinating, Vanliere Jones. Well, I hope you don't get in trouble, but thank you. I
Vanliere Jones got permission
Jeff Chamblee tonight.
Vanliere Jones Now it can be told.
Abraham Hamilton III Now it can be told. I have permission. I got permission to say it now. Now it can be told. What can be told, Vanliere? Oh, yeah, you know, we just, you know, we have this, you know, American Accountability Network, which, you know, I did a little digging on Them and with the American Accountability Network. You know, the website was created in 2025. From what money, I wonder? Geez. It was created for one purpose and one purpose only. To counter the dominance of conservatives in the social media, in the podcast digital space. That's the whole purpose. Vanliere Jones says they hired 10,000 people to engage social media every day. His numbers 32 and a half million on Instagram, 88 point million on on X every day, 185 million on Facebook. Every day. Every day for what? Now, he didn't want to admit this part, but the reporter asked him a follow up question. He had to admit it. So what, are they just discussing affordability issue? No, we're discussing affordability whenever we say it. And say something positive concerning affordability, connect that to the Democrats. Anytime you say something negative about affordability, connect that to the Republicans. So in other words, you manufactured this affordability conversation because if you look at the data objectively, the economy is actually better right now than than it was in 2022. In 2022, the Republicans didn't see a red tsunami. Oh no, they didn't see that. Nobody was Talking affordability when Mr. M. Ice cream man was in office. Geez, I wonder why. And here's where I'm getting to about discernment.
Algorithms And Economic Illiteracy Make Voters Easier To Mislead
You've heard me say numerous times, man, get outside, put your feet on the pavement and touch some grass, some flora and fauna, because the Internet is not the real world. The Internet is not the real world. Vanliere Jones just admitted they took advantage of people's attention devoted to the Internet to twist their perception of reality for political purposes. Yeah. Mm mm Of course, obvious things, obviously things economically are not perfect. They're not worse than they were when Mr. Ice Cream man was in office. So why is there such a perception of this now? As I said earlier, the Iran war or conflict, whatever you want to call it, gave cover for this type of messaging to take root because people have a basic grasp of an understanding, but we don't have a lot. We don't by and large have a populace that will dig into the details, but it's an easy connection for them. Well, the gas of the pump is higher. That means everything else is going to be higher. That's why everything is higher, because we don't, we didn't, we weren't provided a thorough understanding and communication of inflation versus prices and how those things work. Now, no doubt that's the part of the administration, that's where they came up short. But what I want you to see very plainly in Vanliere Jones is giddy as a schoolgirl. To say it to you is that the American public has been played. has been played. That the entire discourse, the entire discourse was the product of political calculated manufacture. The discourse on affordability. That is wild. That is wild. Yes. Martyr Sander is going to continue. And this is part of the reason. Look well into the matter in. In the United States of America, we have a large country, so there are people on various places and various, circumstances that are struggling in different ways. But is that indicative of the entire communication? You know, for example, 160 some thousand jobs just added to the economy at the close of October. Here's another thing. Here's another thing. Did you notice how Vanliere Jones said that they were looking for a way to cut the impact of messaging on, what he called, quote, unquote, culture war issues? I want to tell you it's not cultural issues. It's righteousness. It's just truth and righteousness.
Moral Issues And Political Arrogance Underscore His Discernment Warning
But they would call them culture war issues because they don't want to reflect on them as truth and righteousness. You know, things like men are, cannot be women. You know, things like children should be protected and not have their genitalia cut off or have medications forced upon them that will hinder, if not completely eradicate, the capacity to reproduce. When they get older, they want to call it a cultural issue. That's not a culture war issue. That's a truth righteousness issue. That's a justice issue. That's a judgment issue. But they want to describe it as a culture war issue. So they wanted to pick something that will override that. So enter Vanliere Jones. And look, you hear, how happy he was. He couldn't wait to disclose it. I know some people are thinking, well, well, hey, why would they disclose this now? Why, why, why would. Why would they disclose it now? There must be some reason. Let me tell you very plain. There's no reason. It's no reason. It's the. It's the pride that's associated with wickedness and regressivism that they cannot help but preen like a peacock and pound their chest and flex. We won, you lost. It's nothing more profound than that. Because they also believe that they are in a place where they have unassailable political power. So they feel like, yeah, we'll flex. There's nothing you can do about it now. But, you know, biblically, arrogance precedes what, pride precedes what. But they don't know. These are the same people that celebrate using a rainbow for their celebrations use God's bow for their celebration, not knowing that it's a pronouncement of their own judgment. Here's another thing. Let's, let's dig into this a little bit further. What groups of people spend the, spend most of their time on the Internet? Surely we have certain segments and I even know people say, well, Facebook, it's not as, not as cool today as it used to be. But by and large, who gets their information from the Internet? Younger people. Younger people. The same younger people that were deprived of an economics education as they grew up. So even if they were interested in finding the real numbers concerning the economy, do you think they would know where to go? Or is the algorithm going to feed them what they already think is true and get the dopamine hit of affirmation, and then that becomes ubiquitous conversation amongst their peer groups and then it's, it's reported. That's why I tell my, my peers, frankly in, in media, man, don't just try to see what's on the, on X. Just because it's trending on X don't mean it's real. Don't mean it's real. So you got folks, many of them, who don't even understand economics at all in the first place, can't explain inflation to you at all in the first place. Not everybody, but many of them. And so they hear what they already believe and it's affirmed, repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly. And then all of a sudden, you know, you, you have, well, we have to address affordability. And even that word itself is a subjective reality because certain things that's affordable for Marty, I can't afford. So it's affordable to Marty. Doesn't mean it's affordable for me. But what's happened is what I alluded to in the first segment. We've had an eradication, a blunting of discernment, so we can't even tell when we're being played until it's too late. And so now you have people who were duped with the psyop of affordability. They're answering their affordability questions by electing Marxists and communists and Islamists. Tell me how much sense that makes and tell me, what do you expect a, Marxist to do with an economy when they be given access to the levers of power? Has anybody ever heard of Venezuela?

Abraham Hamilton III Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here. We're already in the third segment.
Hamilton Returns To Politics And Prepares A Moral Reflection
It's amazing, man. Marty was saying during the break another reason why Vanliere Jones wants to come out. And, we can tell it now, whatever he said, Ivy said that is because he wants to run to the front of the line to be the next James Carver, the next spokesperson for the Democrat Party. He wants to be the one that people run to as the spokesmouth because they're feeling rather triumphant at the moment. But guys, that's wild, man. Because if you look at the data objectively, the economy was better last Tuesday than it was in 2022. I also think a complication was that the message President Trump gave when he initially came into office and, discussing his commitment to attacking prices and things of that nature, but he didn't explain the difference between the inflation rate and prices. There needed to be a bit more skillful, communication as to that distinction as to what was planned by the administration. But it's interesting. next I want to talk a little bit about the reality. And this is, you know, coming from the perspective that God has planted us in this time in our nation for his purpose and his glory. It's crazy, man.
Hamilton Condemns Jokes About Charlie Kirk’s Assassination
So footage of Dave Chappelle in Madison Square Garden, was leaked. I, I don't know who leaked it, but I saw it, the degradation of our society, man. It's pretty sad. I mean, it used to be that we didn't treat or discuss dead people in the way that we're doing it today. And, I shouldn't be surprised that as we have, you know, we've gone from, you know, people shouting their abortions on national political platforms and fighting for, as my sister Miki says, the lie that was passed off as law to slaughter one's unborn children or unborn child before they have the opportunity to exhale outside of the womb. Even. Even seeing, after the midterm elections, you have women in the northeast of our country celebrating. Abortion is back, baby. You know, I saw one person say, I'm gonna put my black card down at my local abortion clinic. Anybody who wants one, come and get it. It's on me. I'm like, what? Y' all think that's funny? Man, that's sick, man. That's sick. That's sick. And we're supposed to be a society that we uphold values, you know, the inalienable right, the unalienable right to speak freely, you know. Yet Charlie Kirk is murdered doing that very thing. And Dave Chappelle, who is a comedian, the sassa crack jokes about it, but in a very, very grotesque way. And, you know, I was grateful to learn there were people who was. Who were at his. His show in Madison Square Garden. They got up and left when they heard this, But a pretty large portion of the crowd was laughing right along with Dave Chappelle. What am I talking about? During his standup routine, he literally goes on to say that he felt better after learning that Charlie Kirk had been murdered. I'm not kidding. That's why I'm gonna play it. So you can hear it with your own two ears and see it with your own two eyes. Those for you. Who are those of you who are watching? The video is grainy, clearly taken on the cell phone from a bit of a distance in Madison Square Garden, but you can see clear enough and you can hear the audio very well. Listen to and watch clip two. Clip number two. Go.
Vanliere Jones I feel up saying this. It's scary being a public speaker. And I. I mean, look, ever since that guy, Charlie Kirk got murdered, and I. I shouldn't say this publicly, but
Dave Chappelle I feel better. M shouldn't say that, but
Speaker L it's just a feeling.
Abraham Hamilton III Now, you heard him say, now, I know I shouldn't say that. If you shouldn't say it, then, then don't say it. You know, it. It. You know, his occupation is comedian. But that was not funny. That was not funny. And I would have said the same thing no matter who it was. Like the Lord himself says he doesn't Rejoice in the death of the wicked. You guys know when I've said on the show numerous times, whenever I hear somebody passing away, my first thought is, where would they spend eternity? That's my first thought. You know, he goes on in that routine to say, implying Charlie Kirk is in hell, saying that Charlie Kirk is looking up at us right now. He said that? He sure did. He sure did. Like, what is happening to us, man? What's happening to us? And it, it's sad, man.
Podcast Hosts’ Laughter At Kirk’s Murder Sparks Further Outrage
It's sad. And I'm not even talking about, political orientation or whatever. It's like, so, ah, are we going to be a society that we're going to continue to denigrate people? Like, we're going to rejoice at somebody's death because we have a different opinion than them on something that that's what we're gonna do. Death. I'm talking about death. This follows. You know, you had these two vile women. They're vile. what is her name? Jennifer Welch. Jennifer Welch hosts a podcast called I've Had It. She's a very profane and a very vile woman. She's joined by another vile woman named Angie Sullivan. And this was the day after the midterm elections last, Wednesday, when they were reading posts to social media from some of their supporters, who listen to their podcast and reading, them live on the air. And. You know, just to give you an idea, some of the stuff that they were reading. I'm not even. That's too crass for me to even say. I'm not even. I can't. I'm not even going to read that. I'm not even going to read that. They were reading a succession of posts on social media. And, one of the supporters of their show said, you don't hear for yourself now. This is how they're celebrating the midterm election wins by Democrats. That's how they're celebrating it. One of their, supporters said, well, we need to dig, up Charlie Kirk's body and do it again. And the hosts of the show laugh voraciously for like 30 seconds. I want you to see it. Clip number three. Clip three. Go
Speaker M early. Kirk is doing it again.
Abraham Hamilton III Might have to start it over because it kind of came on in the middle of it.
Speaker M dad, Moreau says, we're digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again.
Abraham Hamilton III Now they're just laughing, just laughing, just laughing.
Vanliere Jones I'm zooming in for Fox,
Abraham Hamilton III like, like that's funny. They're zooming in for Fox. This is how they're celebrating the electoral victory. What they perceive as their electoral. No comment.
Speaker N No comment. No comment. You've
Abraham Hamilton III already commented.
Speaker O Other than he was shot by somebody. That was super MAGA family.
Speaker M He was shot by a MAGA person.
Speaker O Right. So,
Speaker O do that with what you will.
Abraham Hamilton III So now, white
Speaker M person, white MAGA family.
Abraham Hamilton III So not only are they demonstrating an evil willingness to laugh at somebody's murder, but they're also willing to speak complete falsities for public consumption. Like, I mean, you don't have to do a lot of homework. You can just do a little homework. The person standing trial for murdering Charlie Kirk, his voting record is available. Dude ain't even vote in the last two elections. No rel. No. No political affiliation. But you just. Where. Where did you get that from? That's a MAGA person who is a furry. Who has a furry for a boyfriend. Man. this is. And so I want to be. I have to be fair in this regard. There were a lot of people who found that display objectionable. Even other Democrats condemned them for this. Sponsors dropped their podcast. All right, Rightfully so. Rightfully so. And then after all of that, they came out and apologized. But I want to ask you, do you think their apology is genuine or what they were doing when they were genuinely reading those posts on the podcast? And when they were apologizing, were they apologizing in an effort to get their sponsors to come back? Or were they apologizing because they were gripped at the core at the utter inhumanity it is to laugh at a man who left two babies here. Man left his babies because of a sick, twisted, demented, evil person murdered him. That's what you want to be. That's what you want to be. Now, if you want to say the. The. The. The murderer's parents prop. May have voted for President Trump. They didn't murder. They didn't murder Charlie Kirk. But it's sad, man. It's sad. It's sad. I believe they were being honest when they were laughing. That's why I wanted you to see it for yourself.
Hamilton Urges Repentance And Prayer For President Trump
Guys, this is the time that God has planted the people of God, because we have to address this, not just talk about it as being distasteful. We are the people. The people of God are able to explain that that kind of disposition comes from a heart that is blackened by the evil one. You get a lot of people saying that that was an inappropriate comment. You won't get enough people saying that you need to repent. That's only going to come from one Source. And to that end, man, I want to ask you to continue to pray for President Trump because in his 60 Minutes interview that just aired this weekend, he demonstrated that he doesn't understand the gospel. He demonstrated that he does not understand the gospel. I'm running out of time, so I got to move a little quickly. I want you to hear this first part first. Because he identifies himself as a religious person who does not want to go to hell. Listen to him say that in his own words. Clip 4. Go.
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) Let's talk about death. Okay. You have survived multiple assassination attacks. One came very, very close to you. I imagine that that had some kind of effect on how you think about mortality. What do you think happens when you die?
Donald Trump Well, I hope I missed.
Speaker R I mean, to you. No, but I really mean m. I hope
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) I missed. I understand. I mean to you. I think I've done
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) a good job.
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) What do you think happens to Donald Trump when you. Well, again,
Bert Harper not
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) your memory yourself.
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) You mean where I go exactly? Well,
Donald Trump I'm a religious person, so in theory, I go to heaven.
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) Do you think you're going to heaven?
Donald Trump I hope so. I don't want to go to hell.
Abraham Hamilton III In theory, I go to heaven. Do you think you're going to heaven? I hope so. Somebody needs to let the President know that he has the capacity to have security in faith for the sake of time. Let me hurry up, because I want you to hear this part, too. The President doesn't understand the power of forgiveness. Listen to clip number five. Clip five. Go.
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) You pass away. You're entering the next life, and all you have to do to enter paradise is feel love and forgiveness for James Comey, Nancy Pelosi, anyone who you have expressed hate for over the years. Do you think you can do it? Well,
Donald Trump then I wouldn't be real, would I? I mean, if I said to you, sure, the easy answer to that, oh, yes, I
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) could forgive. No, I don't think it's an easy question. I found them to be
Donald Trump extremely dishonest people. Very bad people. Very bad for our country. I love our country far more than I can love people. And people
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) like that. Is the answer
Bert Harper no?
Donald Trump The answer is no. I want to be honest.
Bert Harper Before the
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) judgment.
Bert Harper Throne of God.
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) Before
Donald Trump the judgment. No, I think there were very bad people. And, I dislike. I can use the word hate. I do hate some of my enemies. I think they've been terrible. Look what they put me through. The weaponization.
Bert Harper I
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) get. Mr. President. Mr. President, you have had the most charmed and remarkable life of any American in my entire lifetime. And you are telling me you couldn't find it in your heart to forgive some of your enemies? after all that's been given to you,
Bert Harper I mean, it's such an easy answer. All I have to do is say, yes, I can.
Donald Trump I
60 Minutes interviewer (unidentified) again, I
Bert Harper don't think it's an easy answer. That's why I asked. Can
Donald Trump I be honest? I probably cannot do that now. Because I do hate some of my enemies. And I always will.
Abraham Hamilton III The President needs prayer. Forgiveness is not something you will yourself toward. It is the byproduct of the work of the Spirit of God. I believe this is a moment that God allowed us to see, to know with a bit more clarity how we should pray for the President. He shouldn't be comfortable saying that I hate them, and I always will. I pray that the Lord dispatches his hands and feet to help the President see the clarity of the Gospel.
