Abraham Hamilton: God has called us to be ambassadors even in this dark moment
Abraham Hamilton III Darkness is not an affirmative force. It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light. This is the, Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio. It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite, 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. And now, the, Hamilton Corner.
Abraham Hamilton III Good evening everyone. Welcome to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III is my name. I am the host of the program, joined by the Corner contingent right across from me, my man, 100 grand, Mr. Bobby Roza. And he's pondering whether or not the NewSong York City Islamianists will be allowed to attend ground zero September 11th. Observations and solemn ceremonies. He is the mayor of NewSong York City. Somebody, ah, explained that one to me. How you have Muslim extremists who crash planes into the towers, and yet NewSong York City turns around and what about 25 years later and say, hey, why don't we welcome some of that into the mayor's office? A little bit of that. I hear Naim Zoran, the moron didn't run a plane to anybody.
Abraham Hamilton III I get it, I get it. I guess it's just peaceful iftar dinners in the mayor's office. And it's amazing how many, globalized Intifada adherents just so happen to comprise Mom Donnie's office and advisors and staff and things of that nature. I guess it's just coincidence. And by the way, do you know what Mamdani's parents, What they wrote and supported and. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sure he's nothing like his parents. All right.
Abraham Hamilton III No, in addition to Mr. Roza, we have our, friendly neighborhood widaholic who can leap tall stacks of birch in a single bound, perpetually in recovery. Mr. Marty Sparks Lighting up the dark from the screening room. And we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program.
American Family Radio is housed right here in these United States of America
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, welcoming God's view to govern, to guard and to guide your view. If we would welcome the Lord to grasp ahold of us and our families, there is no question as to what could happen in our societies. And I want to remind you and this is going to carry over into what we're going to talk about from the Lord's Word from Mark, chapter six today. but I want to remind you guys that you are not alive today by mere happenstance that God has sovereignly and divinely orchestrated for you to be alive. Right now, the majority, the overwhelming majority of this audience, is here, though we have some people who listen from overseas and other countries. but American Family Radio is housed right here in these United States of America, the greatest nation in the history. In human history. And it is by God's divine providence that you and I are alive and are citizens in this country at this moment. With all of the insanity that's swirling about, I mean, you got James Talafrico all of a sudden wanting to act like he's a Texan, you know. Now he likes, you know, steak and trucks. I got a truck now. Now he does. When? Before, he just wanted, you know, I'm a Christian who hates Christianity and God is non binary, and I, hate barbecue. And why do you need big trucks and. Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, Oil. Oil is, destroying our environment.
Abraham Hamilton III But now he's in the general election all of a sudden. Well, I mean, come on. It's. It's not. Beauty and the Beast is more beastly than beauty, but his tail is on his time. You know, it's general election time. Let's see if we can get a few people to act. Like all I have been up until this moment is completely irrelevant.
Abraham Hamilton III And now all of a sudden I've moderated every position I had, like yesterday. It's crazy. Then you have. I was laughing at this with Bobby. You had the Socialist 2026 conference in Chicago, September 4th through the 7th, which concluded on Labor Day. Yes. And they're so Socialist, they charge $155 a ticket to get into their socialist party, their socialist conference. And if you're a solidarity party participant, you pay 255. And then, of course, if you're a wee, lowly student that's low income, you still got to pay $65 to get to the socialism conference. No.
Abraham Hamilton III Why did they just spread the wealth of the conference attendance, you know? Well, you gotta, you gotta pay to come up on this thing, you know, at a time in which. And I'm gonna say this, and some of you guys are gonna think I'm making this up, but one of their grand presentations was on, the fascist reality of GOP1s, because these types of drugs are meant to genocide fat people. Guys, I'M not joking. I wish I was. I wish I was.
Abraham Hamilton III How? How? the objective to make Americans healthy is an exercise in oppression and fascism. Oh, my gosh. But this is the time that God has done for us to be alive, folks. So let us be about our Father's business.
Mark chapter six, verses 30 through 38. And this is the portion of scripture
Abraham Hamilton III To the Word of God we go.
Abraham Hamilton III Mark, chapter six, verses 30 through 38. Yes, 30 through 38 is where we're going to go today. And this is the portion of scripture, where Jesus had sent out his disciples two by two. And then they came back and report to him what all transpired. And Pastor Cross said, what? Yeah, I'm telling you, y', all, I'm going to play audio. I got audio for that one. I had to bring. I had to bring evidence, because if I told you they said that the GLP1s is fascism, y' all be like, what I'm getting. We'll get to it.
Mark says Jesus had compassion on the crowds when he went ashore
But to the Word of God, Mark, chapter 6, verse 30. And this is what God's word says. The apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught. And he said to them, come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while. For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. And then. I'm sorry. And they went away in the boat to a desolate place by themselves. Now, many saw them going and recognized them. And they ran there on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them when he went ashore. When he went ashore, he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things. And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, this is a desolate place, and the hour is now late. Send them away to go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat. But he, Jesus answered them, you give them something to eat. And they said to him, shall we go and buy 200 denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat? And he, Jesus said to them, how many loaves do you have? Go and see. And when they had found out, they said, five loaves and two fish all. right, man.
Abraham Hamilton III This. This passage has been just, resonating within me, stirring, me. And I pray it will be an encouraging source for you. First thing I want to point out, notice in verse 30, the scripture says the apostles returned to Jesus and told them all that they had done and taught one of the things that we need to revisit and to normalize within the body of Christ is that the expectation for the believer is not merely to pontificate, not merely to be didactic in presentation, but our presentations must accompany action.
Abraham Hamilton III The apostles told Jesus all they had taught. Yes Lord, this is what we instructed, this is what we taught, but also this is what we did. That proper sound doctrine and instruction and teaching must always be accompanied by sound gospel centered practice and engagement. It is the interaction between orthodoxy and orthopraxis. Right believing, right instruction and right engagement, right action. Let me keep going then.
Abraham Hamilton III I want to go a little further. Notice in verse 34, the scripture records that Jesus, when he saw the great crowds, he was moved with compassion. He had compassion on, them. But notice how he responds in light of his compassion. His compassion didn't just move him to say, ooh, well let me just sit where you sit. Let me empathize with you. Empathy is good, but it's not the end of the story. Empathy, let me say it better. Empathy is only good if empathy moves us to biblical compassion.
Abraham Hamilton III Well, what is biblical compassion? Notice Jesus had compassion upon them. And what did he do with that compassion? He taught them many things. Jesus's compassion compelled him to offer them to corrective engagement. The compassion was not merely reciprocal emotions. It was ultimately compassionate engagement typified by his instruction to the masses. Go further to verse 37. The disciples rightly note. Man, it's, it's been a long day. The day is far spent.
Abraham Hamilton III We way out here in a desolate place. We need to dismiss the folks so they can go and get something to eat because they're probably going to be hungry. Jesus says, you feed them. They respond, shall we go and buy 200 denarii worth of bread? Just by way of reminder, a denarius was a year was a day's wage. Denarii is a plural form of a denarius.
Abraham Hamilton III 200 denarii was representative of more than a half of years worth of wages. All right. But then Jesus's response to them in light of that question was not, no, go and purchase this amount of money, amount of food or amount of bread with that amount of money.
Abraham Hamilton III His question to them was, what do you have? How many loaves do you have? And this, all of it has been what has been resonating within me, but especially this component.
Take inventory of what you do have, Abraham Hamilton urges
Abraham Hamilton III What do you have? Jesus instruction was to, before you sought to go and try to secure resources from an external source, begin your necessary orthopraxis, necessary engagement with an assessment with what you do have. When Jesus asked what you have, and they did not have a ready answer available to him. Jesus said, go and see. Go and evaluate. Take inventory of what you do have. This is something I believe the Lord would compel us to do.
Abraham Hamilton III In this day and age, as we survey the landscape, we see the. The darkness surrounding us, and many of us are moved by it.
Abraham Hamilton III I don't believe you would be listening to this program if you weren't concerned about the things that you see happening around you. Well, if your eyes are open, God doesn't want you just to see. So you can opine and, and wax eloquent and have more information than a person next to you. God has your eyes open so that you can respond as his hands and feet. And because the Lord comprises his body of many members who are not identical to one another. First Corinthians 12. There are many members. It's one body, but we have many members, many different operations, many different gifts, many different functions. What has God given you to respond to what you see?
Abraham Hamilton III It's very easy to think, man, if I just had this or if I just had that, if I just had this, if I just had these other things, then I could go and do A, B, C, D, and E. But the Lord would cause us to stop and say, wait, what is it that you do have? Some of us don't even realize it that we have one of the greatest tools available to engage our immediate communities as salt and light. You want to know what that is? It's where we live. That the gracious utilization of hospitality can be one of the most potent tools in your arsenal to be able to break down the barriers of separation and the, balkanization in our communities that allows for bad ideas to fester. One of the downsides of the technology age is that we have basically a, ah, digitized, advocated, Balkanization to where the algorithms repeatedly feed people over and over and over the stuff that they've already seen and the same types of stuff that they're already seeing and create a perception that the algorithm is reality when it's not. When it's not. I was reading a story earlier that says that due to the digital age, that we have people who speak fewer words today on average than we used to speak previously. And how interpersonal interaction. You guys know it that so much of our communication is not verbal, but it's in person. So as we engage verbally in person, we pick up on additional cues. What I'm saying, man, what do you have? What has God equipped you with? What abilities do you have? And let us use what we have in light of the fact that God planted us in this time, in this day on purpose. This is the moment that God has ordained for us, brothers and sisters. Let's not miss that moment. Let's not miss our moment. Use what we have, the life stage that we're in, the resources that are available to us, the time that we have, and live full out for the glory of the Lord.
Abraham Hamilton III Because after this, eternity is our home. Shining light into the darkness. This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio. Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here.
White House is considering changing eligibility requirements for Child Care and Development Fund
before we get to a lot of the shenanigans, I wanted to have, have a conversation with you about something. And, and this, this is indicative of something that's been concerning to me, for quite some time. And we're seeing this in this instance I'm going to share with you now. And in other instances, what I'm talking about is over the weekend, Vice President J.D. vance, began to speak about a
Abraham Hamilton III policy prerogative that really the White House
Abraham Hamilton III is seeking to implement. Now, I mean, the typical things that they are in favor of the White House began to leak. And so various media outlets got copies of the policy that the White House is seeking to push for. And I understand why they're doing it. I believe their intention in doing this is really, really, really, really good. And I can see a lot of, I, won't say a lot, but several things that are quite positive in light of the policy that is being presented. While at the exact same time I think the policy is a bad idea. A very, very bad idea. So what am I talking about? So over the weekend, Vice President Vance, presented the idea of changing the eligibility requirements for the Child Care Net and Development Fund to allow for that. So the Childcare in Development Fund is an existing fund that already has $12 billion in it. Right.
Abraham Hamilton III And it is the fund.
Abraham Hamilton III It is a fund, I should say, that is used to help American citizens to shoulder childcare costs. To date, that fund is only used for single parents primarily. You know, 80% of the fund users are single parents. So the idea that Vice President Vance is presenting, which actually is built upon legislation that Marco Rubio wrote when he was still in the Senate, in the U.S. senate.
Abraham Hamilton III What he's seeking to do is propose
Abraham Hamilton III a change to the fund that creates a new category of childcare called parent based Childcare. The whole thrust is to, to dive, use funds from that, use money from that fund to provide money to married couples to where one spouse works 35 plus hours a week.
Abraham Hamilton III And the other spouse is a stay at home spouse. Right. that's what the policy is presented to do. So I know why the White House is considering it. I think their intentions are right.
Abraham Hamilton III Their intentions are right, but just because your intentions are right doesn't mean that you should pursue the policy. So first things first. certainly one of the major reasons that the White House is motivated to do it is because they are aware that a lot of President, Trump's most successful, policy advancements have been on the foreign policy front. They're not as much on the domestic policy front. Secondarily, lots of conversations are happening about affordability and how that's created a vulnerability for the GOP facing these midterms and all of those kinds of things. I get that. But beyond that, the idea of incentivizing marriage and incentivizing parents to care for our own children is good. And that is right.
Abraham Hamilton III As it stands currently, the CCDF usually allocates about $9,000 per child on an annual basis. Now, you guys know I have six children. If I were to qualify for that fund, I'm looking at a pretty penny that I could use as a result of it. So I want you to understand that my, my concerns about these policy. This policy and my objection to it is not because I wouldn't benefit from it, because I would benefit from it potentially. well, there may be some other qualifications that I wouldn't meet, but.
Abraham Hamilton III But potentially I would benefit from it. But I want you to know I'm objecting to it on a principled basis. All right, so here's some details that people need to be made aware of. All right? So the Childcare and Development Fund as it stands to accomplish this policy objective, there would be no need for a new bill to be passed. They would simply change eligibility criteria to now include married couples, where one of the spouses stays at home and cares for the children while the other works 35 hours plus per week. Right. That is as it applies today. Because the reality is the Childcare and Development Fund requires allocations annually from Congress. So the 12 billion that's in the fund, it's in the fund because it's already been allocated by Congress.
Abraham Hamilton III But 70% of the fund thereafter. 70% of the fund thereafter requires annual appropriation from Congress. 30% of the fund is provided annually through mandatory, annual funding related to the Social Security Act. So 30% of the fund will be available annually, but 70% of it requires congressional appropriation every single year. Now, this is why I'm concerned about it. While I mentioned those things. It would incentivize marriage, no doubt. Praise God for that. It would help provide, you know, a bit of assistance in this. The affordability concerns. Yes, absolutely. But here's the problem, guys. Welfare, still welfare. Welfare is welfare. No matter who does it. No matter who does it. And when you consider this year that it would not require additional congressional action, the next years, it will require congressional action. Here's another component. Have you ever seen a federal welfare program when it starts, that it stays in the same place in terms of how much money uses?
Abraham Hamilton III I'm sure that. I'm sure this program wouldn't grow annually.
Abraham Hamilton III I'm sure it wouldn't grow annually. And here's the other components. I've said this numerous times and I've said it, but the late Dr. Walter E. Williams, who was a guest on this program, the economist and teacher at George Washington University, made the remark that welfare was able to do to the black family what slavery, Jim Crow, and the harshest partiality based on skin color was never able to do, which was destroyed a black family. Because here's the reality, guys. $9,000 per child from the government because one spouse stays home. Guess what that's called, folks? Socialism.
Abraham Hamilton III That's what socialism is. That's what socialism is. Now what I would propose in lieu of this, and this is something I would propose over and over and over again, is you make an additional exclusion from taxable income because welfare is welfare, no matter where it comes from. What we should be seeking to accomplish, and I don't care what, what government is in awesome, I'm sorry, is in office. What political party is in office. What we should be seeking to accomplish is get the government out of our families. We don't need to expand the nanny state just in another direction. We don't need to expand the nanny state because we want to incentivize marriage. I want to incentivize marriage. I want to incentivize parenthood, sure, but not through government handouts. This guy's is just another government handout. Now, while those things I mentioned before, it's in. It incentivizes marriage, no doubt it encourages a, families to care for our own children. You know, I support that, no doubt. But we don't want, we should not want the government. I've said before that I am not co parent with the government, co parenting with the government when it comes to my children's, the cultivation of my children's mind.
This is a horrible idea and it needs to be rejected
And I'm also not co parenting with the government when it comes to providing for my family. Socialism is still socialism and it shouldn't matter to us where it's coming from. And the concern that I'm raising here, that I've said before, that I was concerned about is that there are people who are attempting to assert a We see the regressives in the Democrat party are seeking to have a godless government. There are some who are seeking to establish a godless conservatism.
Abraham Hamilton III We don't need government for this. When Dr. Williams talked about the impact of welfare on the black family and how welfare has impacted families regardless of ethnicity and how you had policies incentivizing fatherless homes and things of that nature, what do you think is going to happen if you get millions of Americans connected to the government dole for this, some of the unintended consequences? How do you think it's going to impact work ethic? How do you think it's going to impact responsibility that we husbands have as husbands and fathers to provide and care for our families? Because make no mistake about it, if this thing's things become, if this thing becomes active, it is going to be a great temptation to many to sign up for it. It's going to be a great temptation, but don't fall for it. There have been previous presidents who referred to government welfare as a narcotic. We don't need the government, we don't need to co parent with the government. We don't need the government to help shoulder to shoulder the responsibilities providing for our families. Guys, this is socialism. And I don't care if it's coming from a Republican vice president. It's socialism. We have to understand socialism is bad no matter who is advocating for it. This is a horrible idea, guys. This is a horrible idea and it needs to be rejected. What we should want from a policy standpoint is for government to get out of our way, for the nanny state to get out of our way, get rid of ridiculous regulations, get rid of overburdened taxation and let the American family thrive independent of government meddling. So while I understand why they do it, why they would propose something like this, while I understand the motivation and the desire to want to incentivize marriages and families and parents caring for our own children, this is not the way creating a new government welfare program, creating a new another iteration of the welfare state's expansion. Because here's the other thing we don't realize right now. You don't really have very much in terms of A socialistic camel under the tent, so to speak, in terms of intact married families. But guess what this will be.
Abraham Hamilton III No, my objection to this is principled. And it's biblical proverbs. Chapter 13, verse 11 tells us what. Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished. What is wealth gotten by vanity? Wealth accumulated without any type of sweat equity, without any type of personal investment. Wealth that is completely detached from any personal investment of equity. Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished. But he that gathereth by labor shall increase. Guys, there is value to earning our way. My grandmother used to say, earn your keep. There's value to pressing forward. One of the things that God has prepared us as men to be and to do is that we push through the difficulty. We all face difficult times. Absolutely. But one of the reasons why God has given us as men, broader shoulders, higher bondicity, the increased musculature is so that we lead the way in pressing through difficult times. We need to revisit the consistent advocacy that has been employed over the years against the corrosive impact of welfare upon families.
Abraham Hamilton III Man, listen, I know what it's like. I, I, I grew up in the hood. I know what it's like to have people who got food stamps, remember? And there was a time when they were actually real stamps. They looked like Monopoly money. And there, there was, there was a limit and a prohibition on using, food stamps to buy other things like alcohol and other things. You couldn't use that then, you know. And I know what it's like to have people with certain drug habits and things being on my block selling their food stamps. Listen, I got 500 worth, $500 worth of food stamps. I'll sell it to you for 200, sell it to you for 300.
Abraham Hamilton III I know what that's like. I know what it's like. I know people personally who had a generational heritage living in the projects. And now what this is proposing is to invade the province of the marital home, where there's, a, there's a, there's a. They said m. Spouses. You know why they say spouses instead of saying a husband and a wife, y'. All. You, you realize that, right? This is, this is the, the proverbial camel under the camel's nose, under the tent to gaining access to introduce the socialistic narcotic into an intact marriage. Marriage, marital, family. Because the, one of the criteria to get the money is that it's for a married couple. No, man, this has to be rejected. I appreciate the intention.
Abraham Hamilton III I appreciate the awareness of the, of the need to incentivize and to encourage marriage and family. But we don't need this. We don't need this. We don't need this. I've shared on the show before, you know, God's view of provision in the family was so profound and robust that when we talk about, you know, the, the church's responsibility to care for widows and orphans, yes the apostle James articulates that. But the Lord through the apostle Paul provides a qualifier in First Timothy chapter 5. The church has no obligation for all widows and the church only has an obligation for those who are. Who are widows indeed. Or those who are truly widows.
Abraham Hamilton III Who are those that were truly widows. The truly widow description were for those for whom the church would aid and provide a material support to a defining delineation was first and foremost, if there is a widow who needs assistance, the first thing that that widow must do is go to her own family.
Abraham Hamilton III This is the context from which we get the text that says that he who doesn't provide for his own household is worse than an infidel. The family, the widow's own children and grandchildren were responsible for before you ever get to the church, having a responsibility that the, the widow's own children and grandchildren were first responsible for caring for their mother and grandmother. Then the scripture goes on to say and, and the widow who is eligible to be careful by the church was widow indeed is one who has no family to aid her and one who's been. Who has given herself to, to gospel ministry work throughout her lifetime and being hospitable to things of that nature. But my point is that we have got to reject notions to link the family to be dependent upon the government. That is not the way. And just as we've seen welfare have corrosive effect upon other segments of our society, rest assured if it. Rest assured if this is employed within the marital home context, you will see a similar corrosive effect upon marital unions in this country.
Abraham Hamilton III This needs to be rejected. I appreciate the intention, but this is a bad idea. And by God's grace, I hope they go back to the drawing board and look for other ways. And my suggestion is if you want to help the family, maybe use that dollar amount target to exclude taxable income. But we don't need another handout from the government.

Abraham Hamilton III: Expansion of welfare benefit would increase debt and deficit
Abraham Hamilton III Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here.
Abraham Hamilton III The other thing I was going to say about this is that there, there would be income threshold requirements that apply to determine who's eligible. Those things would be the same. but what do you think something like this, this expansion of this welfare benefit will do to the debt and the deficit? Especially when you consider in this fiscal year, that would not require additional congressional appropriation. But next year and every year after that, 70% of the CCDF fund would have to be appropriated by Congress. You know, and it's just, it's, it's a bad idea. It's a bad idea.
Abraham Hamilton III So I'm hoping the White House hears this. I get little misses from time to time to tell me, hey, by the way, you said this on your show and by the way, we're doing this and I by no means mean to suggest that I'm the only one saying this, but welfare is welfare, man. I don't care where it comes from. And welfare's corrosive effect is the same. It's the same.
Abraham Hamilton III We need to get government out of the way. And this is also why, once again, that charity is a personal responsibility that God gives to Christ followers. Let the people closest to those in need lead in aiding those in need. The Lord never told us to launder our compassion for people who are suffering through the government. Oh, by the way, at the force of. Compul. Force of. At the result of forced compulsion.
Abraham Hamilton III Give me your money. Oh, I mean taxes or else. Nah, that's a bad idea.
Woman was texting friends about Massachusetts murder trial three hours before son's death
Abraham Hamilton III I, share this very sad update simply because I introduced this topic last week. It's been confirmed that this, this mom in, in Illinois, is now facing first degree murder charges concerning her two year old son. Little boy's name Barrett, they called him Bear. this, this woman, the mom. Y' all know where I stand. I don't say the names of murderers on the show if I can avoid it. This woman, just three hours after texting her friends about the murder trial in Massachusetts, three hours later, her two year old son was found dead. When police officers arrived at her home, she was in a bathtub, fully clothed in bloody water. Although the reports indicate that she had non life threatening injuries. And according to investigators, she said she killed her son because he was the devil. He was the Antichrist. Upon arrival, police Officers found a 2 year old boy hanging from the rafters in her basement. Ligature wounds around his neck. The little boy was pronounced dead on the scene. Guys, this is heartbreaking. At the time, his mom, who was standing murder charges for killing this two year old boy, as I mentioned, she was just texting friends about the Massachusetts trial just three hours before her very own son was found dead. The jury was deliberating on that case at the time, which, and I have to say that what we've learned now is that this trial in Massachusetts that ended in a hung, dry, hung trial, a hung jury, which led the judge to declare a mistrial, was due to one man, one man in a jury saying I will not let this murdering woman off the hook. So it's because of that one man that justice still may be served in that case as a mistrial, simply sets the stage for the case to be retried. If the prosecutors in Massachusetts decide to do so or they get into some type of plea agreement, you know, to where there's some type of sentence. But we, we've. We ain't in Kansas anymore, Dorothy. I have a list. I'm not going to do that program today. But as a result of this, there have been multiple other seemingly copycat murders of children all around the country. To which you can't help but consider, man. If we as a society have been saying for well over 40 years now that you can kill a child in the womb, well, what's the difference between you killing a child in the womb or outside of the womb? Sick, man, sick. I mentioned this earlier, just because I want you to have the information. These people had their Socialism 2026 conference in Chicago. and I kid you not, they're socialists, but they're charging to go to the conference. They had, multiple tiers of ticket levels. You know, the average ticket was $155 a ticket. Then the solidarity ticket was 250. Then the low income student price was $65. You had the self described socialists all uniting. You know, when, when you think, if you would think that these people are joking, they're not, man. They're not.
Abraham Hamilton III These, these people's ideas are, are laughably ridiculous, but they're gaining ground in certain areas. Angela Davis was one of the speakers and she, went on and on and saying that it, you know, we as the socialists, we need to come to the place where we are able to have the position where it's no longer okay to say someone should go to prison. Listen to and watch clip number one. Clip one. Go.
Abraham Hamilton III The abolition movement. we can now no longer act as if it's okay to say somebody should be sent to prison. You know, look at that. Applause Ma'. Am. So you don't think pedophiles need to go to prison? You don't think murderers need to go to prison? You don't think armed robbers need to go to prison? You don't think people who, I mean, this is just stupid, man. This is stupid. But this is what these people really believe, folks. This is what they really believe. This is what they really believe. And I alluded to this and I had to listen to this twice because I was like, are you serious, man? This dude, DaShaun Harrison. DaShaun You see, look, y' all definitely gonna want to clip this, snip this, send this to your friends because they probably won't believe if you said this, but this dude literally had a prepared speech to describe the political deployment of GLP1s
Abraham Hamilton III in saying that GLP1, their rollout was fascistic. It's indicative of fascism because there's an effort to genocide fat people. I am not joking. Listen to and Watch Clip number two. Clip two. Go.
DaShaun Harrison The political deployment of GOP1s is fascistic not because individuals take them, but because the conditions under which they become necessary are shapeless by a world fixated on genociding fat people. This is a structural critique that asks what happens when the conditions produced by capitalism, by public health, by the state apparatus, and by anti black desire align, ah, around a single bodily ideal that leaves little to no room for divergence and punishes any body that does. Whereas earlier diet drugs were often associated with vanity or addiction, GOP1s are positioned as responsible medicine, promising relief rather than restraint.
Abraham Hamilton III Now, if you are watching the show, you saw, oh, DaShaun was the one talking. And then to his. If you watch the show to his left, your right on the screen for the sake of time. I'm not playing her clip, but she goes on and on and on in saying that the effort to make America healthy again is an effort to. To genocide fat people. And we shouldn't be so focused on wanting Americans to be healthy. Why? She got a mask on. And you saw DaShaun had a mask over his face. If y' all don't want people to be healthy, what you got masks on for? Which, oh, by the way, I don't
Abraham Hamilton III know if you read anything in the last, I don't know, last five years. The mask ain't doing nothing, chief, but letting you get a taste of what that breath be like on a regular. All right, that's what you got going on. But, guys, genocide and fat people, genociding people who are overweight. this. This is. This guy. This is insane. These people must be kept as far away as possible from the levers of influence and potency in our society.
Abraham Hamilton III This is absolutely absurd. Like, where do you begin when you have a person sitting in Chicago? I don't know this to be sure, but I guarantee you they had a Chicago dog or two during the conference who actually say with a straight face, you do not. You do know this capitalistic structure exists because it wants to genocide fat people. And having ready access, you know, to these drugs. And I'm not saying you need to take these GLP1s and not take them.
Abraham Hamilton III You know, this is America. If you do your research, you feel like it'll help you. You do what you want. I would recommend probably doing something without using the drugs. But regardless, like that, that that's the structure. You trying to tear down the GLP1 structure?
Abraham Hamilton III These people's crazy. They had people giving out hats. Hasan Piker was found in this dog on conference, walking around, was showing, satanic, socialists for gays. I'm dead serious. When you say Bobby, that's the oxymoron. Satanic, socialist. You wasted a word. Oh, redundant. It was redundant, not oxymoron. Redundant. Yeah, redundant. Duplicative. Duplicative. Yeah, duplicative.
People are planning what they call a Mayday 2028 action
Abraham Hamilton III But while I'm saying all of this, a part of the thing that drew my attention was that these people are planning what they call a, Mayday 2028 action.
Abraham Hamilton III Now, Mayday is, you know, the May 1st day, where the socialists of the world, the Marxists of the world, want to unite, but they are working to build toward having a day where there's massive strikes, even to the point, to where there are blackouts in the electrical grid across the country, to where, economic resources are inaccessible. This is what they're planning.
Abraham Hamilton III And this is not my opinion. This is why we have to do our due diligence.
Abraham Hamilton III We have to rewrap the study. But Marx and Engels themselves said that socialism is a necessary intermediary step towards communism themselves.
Abraham Hamilton III That's what they've said, that socialism doesn't become any less socialistic because you have democratic in front of it. And I'm, presenting this to you because, in their own words, the reason why we keep doing these mayday organizational things is because we want to test whether or not we have built a sufficient infrastructure. This is what the Marxists are saying amongst themselves. So they're planning to see just how strong they've gotten by 2028. They're debating whether or not it's time for them to just be their own political party, whether or not the Democrat Party has outlived its usefulness because they've admitted publicly that they've been socialists all along.
Abraham Hamilton III And they simply use the Democrat Party because they already had the infrastructure and apparatus to allow them to access the levers of power. But because the GLP one's a fascistic. You see, Dorothy, we are not in Kansas anymore. And as I said in the very beginning of this program, God has ordained us for this moment. You know what's going on where you live? Or do you know what's going on where you live? You know, as we're talking about it, as you're listening to this program, can you start a worldview class?
Abraham Hamilton III Just start for you with your own church? Can you start an, examination of the various worldviews that compete for the allegiance and loyalty of our society. Can you do that? Can you? As we lament, I've lamented publicly, they're not teaching economics in our government indoctrination systems. Can you teach economics in your neighborhood?
Abraham Hamilton III Will your church allow you to use your church facilities during the week? What I have found is that young people want to know what's true.
Abraham Hamilton III And what I've also found is the banker principle. If you expose people to the truth, you don't have to teach them all of the iterations of the lie because they'll be so akin, so tuned into the truth that the lie sticks out like a sore thumb. A lie will stick out to a truth adherent just like cigarette smoke smells to a non smoker. What do you have? What resources are available that you have?
Abraham Hamilton III Not what you don't have. What you don't have, you don't have it. But what do you have? What can God use through you to be his hands and feet right where you live? Pastors who are listening to me, would you host a homeschool co op in. In the church where God has planted you to serve? Because. Because cultivation of the mind is intrinsic to disciple. Making disciples includes the cultivation of spiritual discipline, but it also includes the cultivation of the mind. Professionals in local church. Can we reinstitute apprenticeships, programs with what we have?
Abraham Hamilton III You know, small business owners, guys, we can be salt and light in this time if we would open ourselves up for our Lord to help us to recognize what we have.

Abraham Hamilton: God has called us to be ambassadors even in this dark moment
Abraham Hamilton III Darkness is not an affirmative force. It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light. This is the, Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio. It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite, 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. And now, the, Hamilton Corner.
Abraham Hamilton III Good evening everyone. Welcome to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III is my name. I am the host of the program, joined by the Corner contingent right across from me, my man, 100 grand, Mr. Bobby Roza. And he's pondering whether or not the NewSong York City Islamianists will be allowed to attend ground zero September 11th. Observations and solemn ceremonies. He is the mayor of NewSong York City. Somebody, ah, explained that one to me. How you have Muslim extremists who crash planes into the towers, and yet NewSong York City turns around and what about 25 years later and say, hey, why don't we welcome some of that into the mayor's office? A little bit of that. I hear Naim Zoran, the moron didn't run a plane to anybody.
Abraham Hamilton III I get it, I get it. I guess it's just peaceful iftar dinners in the mayor's office. And it's amazing how many, globalized Intifada adherents just so happen to comprise Mom Donnie's office and advisors and staff and things of that nature. I guess it's just coincidence. And by the way, do you know what Mamdani's parents, What they wrote and supported and. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm sure he's nothing like his parents. All right.
Abraham Hamilton III No, in addition to Mr. Roza, we have our, friendly neighborhood widaholic who can leap tall stacks of birch in a single bound, perpetually in recovery. Mr. Marty Sparks Lighting up the dark from the screening room. And we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program.
American Family Radio is housed right here in these United States of America
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, welcoming God's view to govern, to guard and to guide your view. If we would welcome the Lord to grasp ahold of us and our families, there is no question as to what could happen in our societies. And I want to remind you and this is going to carry over into what we're going to talk about from the Lord's Word from Mark, chapter six today. but I want to remind you guys that you are not alive today by mere happenstance that God has sovereignly and divinely orchestrated for you to be alive. Right now, the majority, the overwhelming majority of this audience, is here, though we have some people who listen from overseas and other countries. but American Family Radio is housed right here in these United States of America, the greatest nation in the history. In human history. And it is by God's divine providence that you and I are alive and are citizens in this country at this moment. With all of the insanity that's swirling about, I mean, you got James Talafrico all of a sudden wanting to act like he's a Texan, you know. Now he likes, you know, steak and trucks. I got a truck now. Now he does. When? Before, he just wanted, you know, I'm a Christian who hates Christianity and God is non binary, and I, hate barbecue. And why do you need big trucks and. Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, Oil. Oil is, destroying our environment.
Abraham Hamilton III But now he's in the general election all of a sudden. Well, I mean, come on. It's. It's not. Beauty and the Beast is more beastly than beauty, but his tail is on his time. You know, it's general election time. Let's see if we can get a few people to act. Like all I have been up until this moment is completely irrelevant.
Abraham Hamilton III And now all of a sudden I've moderated every position I had, like yesterday. It's crazy. Then you have. I was laughing at this with Bobby. You had the Socialist 2026 conference in Chicago, September 4th through the 7th, which concluded on Labor Day. Yes. And they're so Socialist, they charge $155 a ticket to get into their socialist party, their socialist conference. And if you're a solidarity party participant, you pay 255. And then, of course, if you're a wee, lowly student that's low income, you still got to pay $65 to get to the socialism conference. No.
Abraham Hamilton III Why did they just spread the wealth of the conference attendance, you know? Well, you gotta, you gotta pay to come up on this thing, you know, at a time in which. And I'm gonna say this, and some of you guys are gonna think I'm making this up, but one of their grand presentations was on, the fascist reality of GOP1s, because these types of drugs are meant to genocide fat people. Guys, I'M not joking. I wish I was. I wish I was.
Abraham Hamilton III How? How? the objective to make Americans healthy is an exercise in oppression and fascism. Oh, my gosh. But this is the time that God has done for us to be alive, folks. So let us be about our Father's business.
Mark chapter six, verses 30 through 38. And this is the portion of scripture
Abraham Hamilton III To the Word of God we go.
Abraham Hamilton III Mark, chapter six, verses 30 through 38. Yes, 30 through 38 is where we're going to go today. And this is the portion of scripture, where Jesus had sent out his disciples two by two. And then they came back and report to him what all transpired. And Pastor Cross said, what? Yeah, I'm telling you, y', all, I'm going to play audio. I got audio for that one. I had to bring. I had to bring evidence, because if I told you they said that the GLP1s is fascism, y' all be like, what I'm getting. We'll get to it.
Mark says Jesus had compassion on the crowds when he went ashore
But to the Word of God, Mark, chapter 6, verse 30. And this is what God's word says. The apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught. And he said to them, come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while. For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. And then. I'm sorry. And they went away in the boat to a desolate place by themselves. Now, many saw them going and recognized them. And they ran there on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them when he went ashore. When he went ashore, he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things. And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, this is a desolate place, and the hour is now late. Send them away to go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat. But he, Jesus answered them, you give them something to eat. And they said to him, shall we go and buy 200 denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat? And he, Jesus said to them, how many loaves do you have? Go and see. And when they had found out, they said, five loaves and two fish all. right, man.
Abraham Hamilton III This. This passage has been just, resonating within me, stirring, me. And I pray it will be an encouraging source for you. First thing I want to point out, notice in verse 30, the scripture says the apostles returned to Jesus and told them all that they had done and taught one of the things that we need to revisit and to normalize within the body of Christ is that the expectation for the believer is not merely to pontificate, not merely to be didactic in presentation, but our presentations must accompany action.
Abraham Hamilton III The apostles told Jesus all they had taught. Yes Lord, this is what we instructed, this is what we taught, but also this is what we did. That proper sound doctrine and instruction and teaching must always be accompanied by sound gospel centered practice and engagement. It is the interaction between orthodoxy and orthopraxis. Right believing, right instruction and right engagement, right action. Let me keep going then.
Abraham Hamilton III I want to go a little further. Notice in verse 34, the scripture records that Jesus, when he saw the great crowds, he was moved with compassion. He had compassion on, them. But notice how he responds in light of his compassion. His compassion didn't just move him to say, ooh, well let me just sit where you sit. Let me empathize with you. Empathy is good, but it's not the end of the story. Empathy, let me say it better. Empathy is only good if empathy moves us to biblical compassion.
Abraham Hamilton III Well, what is biblical compassion? Notice Jesus had compassion upon them. And what did he do with that compassion? He taught them many things. Jesus's compassion compelled him to offer them to corrective engagement. The compassion was not merely reciprocal emotions. It was ultimately compassionate engagement typified by his instruction to the masses. Go further to verse 37. The disciples rightly note. Man, it's, it's been a long day. The day is far spent.
Abraham Hamilton III We way out here in a desolate place. We need to dismiss the folks so they can go and get something to eat because they're probably going to be hungry. Jesus says, you feed them. They respond, shall we go and buy 200 denarii worth of bread? Just by way of reminder, a denarius was a year was a day's wage. Denarii is a plural form of a denarius.
Abraham Hamilton III 200 denarii was representative of more than a half of years worth of wages. All right. But then Jesus's response to them in light of that question was not, no, go and purchase this amount of money, amount of food or amount of bread with that amount of money.
Abraham Hamilton III His question to them was, what do you have? How many loaves do you have? And this, all of it has been what has been resonating within me, but especially this component.
Take inventory of what you do have, Abraham Hamilton urges
Abraham Hamilton III What do you have? Jesus instruction was to, before you sought to go and try to secure resources from an external source, begin your necessary orthopraxis, necessary engagement with an assessment with what you do have. When Jesus asked what you have, and they did not have a ready answer available to him. Jesus said, go and see. Go and evaluate. Take inventory of what you do have. This is something I believe the Lord would compel us to do.
Abraham Hamilton III In this day and age, as we survey the landscape, we see the. The darkness surrounding us, and many of us are moved by it.
Abraham Hamilton III I don't believe you would be listening to this program if you weren't concerned about the things that you see happening around you. Well, if your eyes are open, God doesn't want you just to see. So you can opine and, and wax eloquent and have more information than a person next to you. God has your eyes open so that you can respond as his hands and feet. And because the Lord comprises his body of many members who are not identical to one another. First Corinthians 12. There are many members. It's one body, but we have many members, many different operations, many different gifts, many different functions. What has God given you to respond to what you see?
Abraham Hamilton III It's very easy to think, man, if I just had this or if I just had that, if I just had this, if I just had these other things, then I could go and do A, B, C, D, and E. But the Lord would cause us to stop and say, wait, what is it that you do have? Some of us don't even realize it that we have one of the greatest tools available to engage our immediate communities as salt and light. You want to know what that is? It's where we live. That the gracious utilization of hospitality can be one of the most potent tools in your arsenal to be able to break down the barriers of separation and the, balkanization in our communities that allows for bad ideas to fester. One of the downsides of the technology age is that we have basically a, ah, digitized, advocated, Balkanization to where the algorithms repeatedly feed people over and over and over the stuff that they've already seen and the same types of stuff that they're already seeing and create a perception that the algorithm is reality when it's not. When it's not. I was reading a story earlier that says that due to the digital age, that we have people who speak fewer words today on average than we used to speak previously. And how interpersonal interaction. You guys know it that so much of our communication is not verbal, but it's in person. So as we engage verbally in person, we pick up on additional cues. What I'm saying, man, what do you have? What has God equipped you with? What abilities do you have? And let us use what we have in light of the fact that God planted us in this time, in this day on purpose. This is the moment that God has ordained for us, brothers and sisters. Let's not miss that moment. Let's not miss our moment. Use what we have, the life stage that we're in, the resources that are available to us, the time that we have, and live full out for the glory of the Lord.
Abraham Hamilton III Because after this, eternity is our home. Shining light into the darkness. This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio. Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here.
White House is considering changing eligibility requirements for Child Care and Development Fund
before we get to a lot of the shenanigans, I wanted to have, have a conversation with you about something. And, and this, this is indicative of something that's been concerning to me, for quite some time. And we're seeing this in this instance I'm going to share with you now. And in other instances, what I'm talking about is over the weekend, Vice President J.D. vance, began to speak about a
Abraham Hamilton III policy prerogative that really the White House
Abraham Hamilton III is seeking to implement. Now, I mean, the typical things that they are in favor of the White House began to leak. And so various media outlets got copies of the policy that the White House is seeking to push for. And I understand why they're doing it. I believe their intention in doing this is really, really, really, really good. And I can see a lot of, I, won't say a lot, but several things that are quite positive in light of the policy that is being presented. While at the exact same time I think the policy is a bad idea. A very, very bad idea. So what am I talking about? So over the weekend, Vice President Vance, presented the idea of changing the eligibility requirements for the Child Care Net and Development Fund to allow for that. So the Childcare in Development Fund is an existing fund that already has $12 billion in it. Right.
Abraham Hamilton III And it is the fund.
Abraham Hamilton III It is a fund, I should say, that is used to help American citizens to shoulder childcare costs. To date, that fund is only used for single parents primarily. You know, 80% of the fund users are single parents. So the idea that Vice President Vance is presenting, which actually is built upon legislation that Marco Rubio wrote when he was still in the Senate, in the U.S. senate.
Abraham Hamilton III What he's seeking to do is propose
Abraham Hamilton III a change to the fund that creates a new category of childcare called parent based Childcare. The whole thrust is to, to dive, use funds from that, use money from that fund to provide money to married couples to where one spouse works 35 plus hours a week.
Abraham Hamilton III And the other spouse is a stay at home spouse. Right. that's what the policy is presented to do. So I know why the White House is considering it. I think their intentions are right.
Abraham Hamilton III Their intentions are right, but just because your intentions are right doesn't mean that you should pursue the policy. So first things first. certainly one of the major reasons that the White House is motivated to do it is because they are aware that a lot of President, Trump's most successful, policy advancements have been on the foreign policy front. They're not as much on the domestic policy front. Secondarily, lots of conversations are happening about affordability and how that's created a vulnerability for the GOP facing these midterms and all of those kinds of things. I get that. But beyond that, the idea of incentivizing marriage and incentivizing parents to care for our own children is good. And that is right.
Abraham Hamilton III As it stands currently, the CCDF usually allocates about $9,000 per child on an annual basis. Now, you guys know I have six children. If I were to qualify for that fund, I'm looking at a pretty penny that I could use as a result of it. So I want you to understand that my, my concerns about these policy. This policy and my objection to it is not because I wouldn't benefit from it, because I would benefit from it potentially. well, there may be some other qualifications that I wouldn't meet, but.
Abraham Hamilton III But potentially I would benefit from it. But I want you to know I'm objecting to it on a principled basis. All right, so here's some details that people need to be made aware of. All right? So the Childcare and Development Fund as it stands to accomplish this policy objective, there would be no need for a new bill to be passed. They would simply change eligibility criteria to now include married couples, where one of the spouses stays at home and cares for the children while the other works 35 hours plus per week. Right. That is as it applies today. Because the reality is the Childcare and Development Fund requires allocations annually from Congress. So the 12 billion that's in the fund, it's in the fund because it's already been allocated by Congress.
Abraham Hamilton III But 70% of the fund thereafter. 70% of the fund thereafter requires annual appropriation from Congress. 30% of the fund is provided annually through mandatory, annual funding related to the Social Security Act. So 30% of the fund will be available annually, but 70% of it requires congressional appropriation every single year. Now, this is why I'm concerned about it. While I mentioned those things. It would incentivize marriage, no doubt. Praise God for that. It would help provide, you know, a bit of assistance in this. The affordability concerns. Yes, absolutely. But here's the problem, guys. Welfare, still welfare. Welfare is welfare. No matter who does it. No matter who does it. And when you consider this year that it would not require additional congressional action, the next years, it will require congressional action. Here's another component. Have you ever seen a federal welfare program when it starts, that it stays in the same place in terms of how much money uses?
Abraham Hamilton III I'm sure that. I'm sure this program wouldn't grow annually.
Abraham Hamilton III I'm sure it wouldn't grow annually. And here's the other components. I've said this numerous times and I've said it, but the late Dr. Walter E. Williams, who was a guest on this program, the economist and teacher at George Washington University, made the remark that welfare was able to do to the black family what slavery, Jim Crow, and the harshest partiality based on skin color was never able to do, which was destroyed a black family. Because here's the reality, guys. $9,000 per child from the government because one spouse stays home. Guess what that's called, folks? Socialism.
Abraham Hamilton III That's what socialism is. That's what socialism is. Now what I would propose in lieu of this, and this is something I would propose over and over and over again, is you make an additional exclusion from taxable income because welfare is welfare, no matter where it comes from. What we should be seeking to accomplish, and I don't care what, what government is in awesome, I'm sorry, is in office. What political party is in office. What we should be seeking to accomplish is get the government out of our families. We don't need to expand the nanny state just in another direction. We don't need to expand the nanny state because we want to incentivize marriage. I want to incentivize marriage. I want to incentivize parenthood, sure, but not through government handouts. This guy's is just another government handout. Now, while those things I mentioned before, it's in. It incentivizes marriage, no doubt it encourages a, families to care for our own children. You know, I support that, no doubt. But we don't want, we should not want the government. I've said before that I am not co parent with the government, co parenting with the government when it comes to my children's, the cultivation of my children's mind.
This is a horrible idea and it needs to be rejected
And I'm also not co parenting with the government when it comes to providing for my family. Socialism is still socialism and it shouldn't matter to us where it's coming from. And the concern that I'm raising here, that I've said before, that I was concerned about is that there are people who are attempting to assert a We see the regressives in the Democrat party are seeking to have a godless government. There are some who are seeking to establish a godless conservatism.
Abraham Hamilton III We don't need government for this. When Dr. Williams talked about the impact of welfare on the black family and how welfare has impacted families regardless of ethnicity and how you had policies incentivizing fatherless homes and things of that nature, what do you think is going to happen if you get millions of Americans connected to the government dole for this, some of the unintended consequences? How do you think it's going to impact work ethic? How do you think it's going to impact responsibility that we husbands have as husbands and fathers to provide and care for our families? Because make no mistake about it, if this thing's things become, if this thing becomes active, it is going to be a great temptation to many to sign up for it. It's going to be a great temptation, but don't fall for it. There have been previous presidents who referred to government welfare as a narcotic. We don't need the government, we don't need to co parent with the government. We don't need the government to help shoulder to shoulder the responsibilities providing for our families. Guys, this is socialism. And I don't care if it's coming from a Republican vice president. It's socialism. We have to understand socialism is bad no matter who is advocating for it. This is a horrible idea, guys. This is a horrible idea and it needs to be rejected. What we should want from a policy standpoint is for government to get out of our way, for the nanny state to get out of our way, get rid of ridiculous regulations, get rid of overburdened taxation and let the American family thrive independent of government meddling. So while I understand why they do it, why they would propose something like this, while I understand the motivation and the desire to want to incentivize marriages and families and parents caring for our own children, this is not the way creating a new government welfare program, creating a new another iteration of the welfare state's expansion. Because here's the other thing we don't realize right now. You don't really have very much in terms of A socialistic camel under the tent, so to speak, in terms of intact married families. But guess what this will be.
Abraham Hamilton III No, my objection to this is principled. And it's biblical proverbs. Chapter 13, verse 11 tells us what. Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished. What is wealth gotten by vanity? Wealth accumulated without any type of sweat equity, without any type of personal investment. Wealth that is completely detached from any personal investment of equity. Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished. But he that gathereth by labor shall increase. Guys, there is value to earning our way. My grandmother used to say, earn your keep. There's value to pressing forward. One of the things that God has prepared us as men to be and to do is that we push through the difficulty. We all face difficult times. Absolutely. But one of the reasons why God has given us as men, broader shoulders, higher bondicity, the increased musculature is so that we lead the way in pressing through difficult times. We need to revisit the consistent advocacy that has been employed over the years against the corrosive impact of welfare upon families.
Abraham Hamilton III Man, listen, I know what it's like. I, I, I grew up in the hood. I know what it's like to have people who got food stamps, remember? And there was a time when they were actually real stamps. They looked like Monopoly money. And there, there was, there was a limit and a prohibition on using, food stamps to buy other things like alcohol and other things. You couldn't use that then, you know. And I know what it's like to have people with certain drug habits and things being on my block selling their food stamps. Listen, I got 500 worth, $500 worth of food stamps. I'll sell it to you for 200, sell it to you for 300.
Abraham Hamilton III I know what that's like. I know what it's like. I know people personally who had a generational heritage living in the projects. And now what this is proposing is to invade the province of the marital home, where there's, a, there's a, there's a. They said m. Spouses. You know why they say spouses instead of saying a husband and a wife, y'. All. You, you realize that, right? This is, this is the, the proverbial camel under the camel's nose, under the tent to gaining access to introduce the socialistic narcotic into an intact marriage. Marriage, marital, family. Because the, one of the criteria to get the money is that it's for a married couple. No, man, this has to be rejected. I appreciate the intention.
Abraham Hamilton III I appreciate the awareness of the, of the need to incentivize and to encourage marriage and family. But we don't need this. We don't need this. We don't need this. I've shared on the show before, you know, God's view of provision in the family was so profound and robust that when we talk about, you know, the, the church's responsibility to care for widows and orphans, yes the apostle James articulates that. But the Lord through the apostle Paul provides a qualifier in First Timothy chapter 5. The church has no obligation for all widows and the church only has an obligation for those who are. Who are widows indeed. Or those who are truly widows.
Abraham Hamilton III Who are those that were truly widows. The truly widow description were for those for whom the church would aid and provide a material support to a defining delineation was first and foremost, if there is a widow who needs assistance, the first thing that that widow must do is go to her own family.
Abraham Hamilton III This is the context from which we get the text that says that he who doesn't provide for his own household is worse than an infidel. The family, the widow's own children and grandchildren were responsible for before you ever get to the church, having a responsibility that the, the widow's own children and grandchildren were first responsible for caring for their mother and grandmother. Then the scripture goes on to say and, and the widow who is eligible to be careful by the church was widow indeed is one who has no family to aid her and one who's been. Who has given herself to, to gospel ministry work throughout her lifetime and being hospitable to things of that nature. But my point is that we have got to reject notions to link the family to be dependent upon the government. That is not the way. And just as we've seen welfare have corrosive effect upon other segments of our society, rest assured if it. Rest assured if this is employed within the marital home context, you will see a similar corrosive effect upon marital unions in this country.
Abraham Hamilton III This needs to be rejected. I appreciate the intention, but this is a bad idea. And by God's grace, I hope they go back to the drawing board and look for other ways. And my suggestion is if you want to help the family, maybe use that dollar amount target to exclude taxable income. But we don't need another handout from the government.

Abraham Hamilton III: Expansion of welfare benefit would increase debt and deficit
Abraham Hamilton III Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here.
Abraham Hamilton III The other thing I was going to say about this is that there, there would be income threshold requirements that apply to determine who's eligible. Those things would be the same. but what do you think something like this, this expansion of this welfare benefit will do to the debt and the deficit? Especially when you consider in this fiscal year, that would not require additional congressional appropriation. But next year and every year after that, 70% of the CCDF fund would have to be appropriated by Congress. You know, and it's just, it's, it's a bad idea. It's a bad idea.
Abraham Hamilton III So I'm hoping the White House hears this. I get little misses from time to time to tell me, hey, by the way, you said this on your show and by the way, we're doing this and I by no means mean to suggest that I'm the only one saying this, but welfare is welfare, man. I don't care where it comes from. And welfare's corrosive effect is the same. It's the same.
Abraham Hamilton III We need to get government out of the way. And this is also why, once again, that charity is a personal responsibility that God gives to Christ followers. Let the people closest to those in need lead in aiding those in need. The Lord never told us to launder our compassion for people who are suffering through the government. Oh, by the way, at the force of. Compul. Force of. At the result of forced compulsion.
Abraham Hamilton III Give me your money. Oh, I mean taxes or else. Nah, that's a bad idea.
Woman was texting friends about Massachusetts murder trial three hours before son's death
Abraham Hamilton III I, share this very sad update simply because I introduced this topic last week. It's been confirmed that this, this mom in, in Illinois, is now facing first degree murder charges concerning her two year old son. Little boy's name Barrett, they called him Bear. this, this woman, the mom. Y' all know where I stand. I don't say the names of murderers on the show if I can avoid it. This woman, just three hours after texting her friends about the murder trial in Massachusetts, three hours later, her two year old son was found dead. When police officers arrived at her home, she was in a bathtub, fully clothed in bloody water. Although the reports indicate that she had non life threatening injuries. And according to investigators, she said she killed her son because he was the devil. He was the Antichrist. Upon arrival, police Officers found a 2 year old boy hanging from the rafters in her basement. Ligature wounds around his neck. The little boy was pronounced dead on the scene. Guys, this is heartbreaking. At the time, his mom, who was standing murder charges for killing this two year old boy, as I mentioned, she was just texting friends about the Massachusetts trial just three hours before her very own son was found dead. The jury was deliberating on that case at the time, which, and I have to say that what we've learned now is that this trial in Massachusetts that ended in a hung, dry, hung trial, a hung jury, which led the judge to declare a mistrial, was due to one man, one man in a jury saying I will not let this murdering woman off the hook. So it's because of that one man that justice still may be served in that case as a mistrial, simply sets the stage for the case to be retried. If the prosecutors in Massachusetts decide to do so or they get into some type of plea agreement, you know, to where there's some type of sentence. But we, we've. We ain't in Kansas anymore, Dorothy. I have a list. I'm not going to do that program today. But as a result of this, there have been multiple other seemingly copycat murders of children all around the country. To which you can't help but consider, man. If we as a society have been saying for well over 40 years now that you can kill a child in the womb, well, what's the difference between you killing a child in the womb or outside of the womb? Sick, man, sick. I mentioned this earlier, just because I want you to have the information. These people had their Socialism 2026 conference in Chicago. and I kid you not, they're socialists, but they're charging to go to the conference. They had, multiple tiers of ticket levels. You know, the average ticket was $155 a ticket. Then the solidarity ticket was 250. Then the low income student price was $65. You had the self described socialists all uniting. You know, when, when you think, if you would think that these people are joking, they're not, man. They're not.
Abraham Hamilton III These, these people's ideas are, are laughably ridiculous, but they're gaining ground in certain areas. Angela Davis was one of the speakers and she, went on and on and saying that it, you know, we as the socialists, we need to come to the place where we are able to have the position where it's no longer okay to say someone should go to prison. Listen to and watch clip number one. Clip one. Go.
Abraham Hamilton III The abolition movement. we can now no longer act as if it's okay to say somebody should be sent to prison. You know, look at that. Applause Ma'. Am. So you don't think pedophiles need to go to prison? You don't think murderers need to go to prison? You don't think armed robbers need to go to prison? You don't think people who, I mean, this is just stupid, man. This is stupid. But this is what these people really believe, folks. This is what they really believe. This is what they really believe. And I alluded to this and I had to listen to this twice because I was like, are you serious, man? This dude, DaShaun Harrison. DaShaun You see, look, y' all definitely gonna want to clip this, snip this, send this to your friends because they probably won't believe if you said this, but this dude literally had a prepared speech to describe the political deployment of GLP1s
Abraham Hamilton III in saying that GLP1, their rollout was fascistic. It's indicative of fascism because there's an effort to genocide fat people. I am not joking. Listen to and Watch Clip number two. Clip two. Go.
DaShaun Harrison The political deployment of GOP1s is fascistic not because individuals take them, but because the conditions under which they become necessary are shapeless by a world fixated on genociding fat people. This is a structural critique that asks what happens when the conditions produced by capitalism, by public health, by the state apparatus, and by anti black desire align, ah, around a single bodily ideal that leaves little to no room for divergence and punishes any body that does. Whereas earlier diet drugs were often associated with vanity or addiction, GOP1s are positioned as responsible medicine, promising relief rather than restraint.
Abraham Hamilton III Now, if you are watching the show, you saw, oh, DaShaun was the one talking. And then to his. If you watch the show to his left, your right on the screen for the sake of time. I'm not playing her clip, but she goes on and on and on in saying that the effort to make America healthy again is an effort to. To genocide fat people. And we shouldn't be so focused on wanting Americans to be healthy. Why? She got a mask on. And you saw DaShaun had a mask over his face. If y' all don't want people to be healthy, what you got masks on for? Which, oh, by the way, I don't
Abraham Hamilton III know if you read anything in the last, I don't know, last five years. The mask ain't doing nothing, chief, but letting you get a taste of what that breath be like on a regular. All right, that's what you got going on. But, guys, genocide and fat people, genociding people who are overweight. this. This is. This guy. This is insane. These people must be kept as far away as possible from the levers of influence and potency in our society.
Abraham Hamilton III This is absolutely absurd. Like, where do you begin when you have a person sitting in Chicago? I don't know this to be sure, but I guarantee you they had a Chicago dog or two during the conference who actually say with a straight face, you do not. You do know this capitalistic structure exists because it wants to genocide fat people. And having ready access, you know, to these drugs. And I'm not saying you need to take these GLP1s and not take them.
Abraham Hamilton III You know, this is America. If you do your research, you feel like it'll help you. You do what you want. I would recommend probably doing something without using the drugs. But regardless, like that, that that's the structure. You trying to tear down the GLP1 structure?
Abraham Hamilton III These people's crazy. They had people giving out hats. Hasan Piker was found in this dog on conference, walking around, was showing, satanic, socialists for gays. I'm dead serious. When you say Bobby, that's the oxymoron. Satanic, socialist. You wasted a word. Oh, redundant. It was redundant, not oxymoron. Redundant. Yeah, redundant. Duplicative. Duplicative. Yeah, duplicative.
People are planning what they call a Mayday 2028 action
Abraham Hamilton III But while I'm saying all of this, a part of the thing that drew my attention was that these people are planning what they call a, Mayday 2028 action.
Abraham Hamilton III Now, Mayday is, you know, the May 1st day, where the socialists of the world, the Marxists of the world, want to unite, but they are working to build toward having a day where there's massive strikes, even to the point, to where there are blackouts in the electrical grid across the country, to where, economic resources are inaccessible. This is what they're planning.
Abraham Hamilton III And this is not my opinion. This is why we have to do our due diligence.
Abraham Hamilton III We have to rewrap the study. But Marx and Engels themselves said that socialism is a necessary intermediary step towards communism themselves.
Abraham Hamilton III That's what they've said, that socialism doesn't become any less socialistic because you have democratic in front of it. And I'm, presenting this to you because, in their own words, the reason why we keep doing these mayday organizational things is because we want to test whether or not we have built a sufficient infrastructure. This is what the Marxists are saying amongst themselves. So they're planning to see just how strong they've gotten by 2028. They're debating whether or not it's time for them to just be their own political party, whether or not the Democrat Party has outlived its usefulness because they've admitted publicly that they've been socialists all along.
Abraham Hamilton III And they simply use the Democrat Party because they already had the infrastructure and apparatus to allow them to access the levers of power. But because the GLP one's a fascistic. You see, Dorothy, we are not in Kansas anymore. And as I said in the very beginning of this program, God has ordained us for this moment. You know what's going on where you live? Or do you know what's going on where you live? You know, as we're talking about it, as you're listening to this program, can you start a worldview class?
Abraham Hamilton III Just start for you with your own church? Can you start an, examination of the various worldviews that compete for the allegiance and loyalty of our society. Can you do that? Can you? As we lament, I've lamented publicly, they're not teaching economics in our government indoctrination systems. Can you teach economics in your neighborhood?
Abraham Hamilton III Will your church allow you to use your church facilities during the week? What I have found is that young people want to know what's true.
Abraham Hamilton III And what I've also found is the banker principle. If you expose people to the truth, you don't have to teach them all of the iterations of the lie because they'll be so akin, so tuned into the truth that the lie sticks out like a sore thumb. A lie will stick out to a truth adherent just like cigarette smoke smells to a non smoker. What do you have? What resources are available that you have?
Abraham Hamilton III Not what you don't have. What you don't have, you don't have it. But what do you have? What can God use through you to be his hands and feet right where you live? Pastors who are listening to me, would you host a homeschool co op in. In the church where God has planted you to serve? Because. Because cultivation of the mind is intrinsic to disciple. Making disciples includes the cultivation of spiritual discipline, but it also includes the cultivation of the mind. Professionals in local church. Can we reinstitute apprenticeships, programs with what we have?
Abraham Hamilton III You know, small business owners, guys, we can be salt and light in this time if we would open ourselves up for our Lord to help us to recognize what we have.

In this episode of The Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton III dives deep into the concept of darkness as merely the absence of light and the call for believers to act as ambassadors of truth in a world filled with deception. Joined by the Corner contingent, they tackle pressing issues, including the perplexing decision of NewSong York City's mayor to welcome individuals linked to extremist ideologies.
Abraham emphasizes the importance of intentionality in our roles as family leaders, urging listeners to recognize the divine purpose behind their existence in today's tumultuous society. The discussion transitions to Mark chapter 6, where Jesus teaches His disciples about the importance of action alongside doctrine. Abraham highlights the necessity of assessing our resources and capabilities to engage effectively in our communities, rather than relying on external solutions.
He passionately critiques a recent proposal from Vice President JD Vance regarding the Child Care Net and Development Fund, arguing against the dangers of expanding government welfare as a solution to societal issues. Abraham calls for a return to personal responsibility and the rejection of government dependency, emphasizing the value of hard work and family integrity. He encourages listeners to use their unique gifts and resources to shine light in their communities, reminding everyone that this is a pivotal moment ordained by God for action and transformation
