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. God has called you and me to be his ambassadors, even in this dark moment. Let's not miss our moment.
Welcome to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio
And now, the Hamilton Corner. Good evening everyone. Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio. I'm your host, Abraham Hamilton III, joined by the corner contingent right across from me. Mister, mister. Why did I say that? My man, 100 grand. Mr. Bobby Rosa. And in the screening room, produce extraordinaire. Often imitated, never duplicated. The real J. Mack. Ladies and gentlemen, and to my right, yes, I should call everyone Mr. Today. And to my right, a young man who is enjoying a consistent diet of Supreme Court opinions. He's learning. I'm not too fond of some of these justices here. Mr. Abe Double R, ladies and gentlemen, Reed Ritter is in studio with us and we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program.
What goes on in your home is far more important than what happens in White House
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 it with intentionality. Recognize the primacy that God places on family. We will never out politic, out vote, or even out church deficiencies that abound in the home. I've said before, and I'll say again, if you look at the cascading expansion of the Leviathan state, it's almost like the way the scripture describes hell ever enlarging itself. You know, if you look at it, it corresponds with retrenchments in the family. Every place where the family steps back, every place where the family is disintegrated, government is enlarging itself. You know, that's, that's a real phenomenon that we need to recognize. Instead of allowing that to continue, we should embrace God's view of the family. The first human institution that God established before modern iterations of civil government, before, even the New Testament Church. The first human institution that God established was the family, with marriage at the center. He did that intentionally because the family is central to God's plan for his kingdom. Unsurprisingly, the foundational building block for any stable society is the family. We would do well to recognize that. Which is why I say Often, and this is simply the truth, what goes on in your House is far more important than what goes on in the White House. I say that not to diminish the significance of what happens in the White House, but simply to communicate the significance of what happens in your home. You and I cannot dictate, you know, what President Trump does with, with tariffs. you and I cannot dictate who will become the new nominee to take the position over the Seventh Fleet. or the, or the. That Donnelly is up for. That he's not up for any longer. You and I can't determine that. We can't determine what names will go on, our battleships. We don't. None of those things do we have direct control over. But what we do have direct control over is what happens in our home. What do we do with our time. We all have the same 24 hours in the day. What are we going to do with it? We all have the same oxygen that we inhale and exhale. How will we utilize that? That is what we have control over. In addition to having control over it. That is also what we are directly accountable for. So as you're making your way to your full time jobs where we cultivate an outcome, let's be about it, man. Let's be outcome cultivators. Let's recognize that we have to work while it is day, because night is coming when no man can work. And as we respond in that manner and, ah, being mindful of the fact that God's desire for his people to engage, he desires to be an engagement that overflows from what we enjoy in the Lord personally, He wants us to, export what we've imported, so to speak. And so as we have that understanding, as you're making your way to your home today, let today be the day when you set your course to glorify the King, starting right in your own homes to the Word of God, we go to Hebrews chapter 13.
The ESV says keep your life free from the love of money
I want to share something with you. from there, something I just came across in my own devotional time was just a great reminder and a great, encouragement that I want to share with you. Hebrews chapter 13, verses 5 and 6. by way of reminder, the entire Epistle to the Hebrews draws from the Old Testament scripture, the Hebrew scripture, to point out the fact that Yeshua is in fact m Messiah, that there is no need to wait for the Messiah to come because he's already come. Jesus of Nazareth. Nazareth man. Can I talk? Yeshua in Zareth. All right, we're not waiting for him. He has come and he is the one, the only name under heaven by which men must be saved. So when articulating that reality, this statement is made just was profound to me and I pray it as an encouragement to you. Hebrews 13, verse 5. It says, make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have. For he himself has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you. So that we confidently say, the Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What can man do to me. Now the thing that is so striking in verse five where it says, make sure that your character is free from the love of money. the ESV says keep your life free from the love of money. The King James says, let your conversation, be without covetousness. Now what should be immediately presented is the, the, the humanistic tendency, to think money, is the end all, be all of everything, that as long if I have money, I have everything, you know. And the exhortation is to keep oneself free from the love of money. The Apostle Paul articulated, says the love of the money is a root of all manner of evils. Money is an evil, but the love of it, a covetousness disposition, a materialist, consumerist disposition is the root of all manner of evil. But the contrast that is made here is not one that I think is usually engaged in, in terms of conversation around this topic. You know, when we think about contentment, sometimes the conversation about contentment focuses on what we do have versus what we don't have, which is a true thing that should be done. And just to be clear, contentment is not synonymous with a lack of ambition. You can be content and be ambitious. The issue is whether or not your ambition is godly or if it's self indulging and self centered and self focused. All right, but here the Hebrew writer presents a contrast that is striking. Keep your character free from the love of money, being content with what you have. For he himself has said, I will never leave you or I will never desert you or forsake you. Now the Hebrew writer there is quoting from Joshua, chapter 1, verse 5. This is what Yahweh says to Joshua in anticipation and preparation for the promised land conquest. But the Hebrew writer draws from that and print presents this contrast. Protect yourself, keep yourself free from the love of money. Why? Because Jesus has said he will never leave you nor forsake you. God has said he will never leave you nor forsake you. Then the Hebrew writer continues in light of that truism, verse six. So we may now confidently say, the Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What will man do to me? There the Hebrew writer is quoting from Psalm chapter 118, verse 6. So the contrast that is the I would argue an abnormal one. When the concept of keeping oneself free from the love of money, keeping one's lifestyle free from covetousness, it is because Jesus is our all in all. It causes a reflection to say that if I have Jesus, I have everything. It's another way to say that Messiah himself is the prize. The reason why I'm not crafty, I'm not covetous, I'm not wracked with envy, that I'm not yearning for what other people have. And allowing this kind of comparative analysis to drive me is because man, if I'm in Christ, he will never leave me nor forsake me. It's very similar to the way the apostle Paul articulates the off quoted verse. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Well, what's often neglected and ignored is the context for that verse. The apostle Paul is talking about understanding that in life sometimes one may be abased. Meaning that I have very little material goods, I have very little natural resource, very little. And there may be times in life where one may abound. But Paul says, I've learned the secret of being content in whatever stage. What is that secret? I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. It is Christ who strengthens us to endure whatever comes our way. It is Christ who strengthens us to persist and to thrive even when things don't go as we've expected them to go. And it is Christ who enables us to thrive, to not be captured by our own successes, when we have wonderful experiences and wonderful successes. It's very similar to when, when Dr. Luke recorded Peter and John fishing. And Jesus gives instruction and Peter's like, man, I've been fishing all night. What do you mean, push out to the deep? We don't fish with nets all the way in the deep. And Jesus is like, man, listen to me, do it. They finally do it. They come back with a haul they can't even contain in the boat. They had to get another boat to back up what they were catching. And then when they get to the shore, they leave their fish and their boats even though they were in a fishing business. They leave their fish and their boat to follow Jesus. Why? Because he is the prize. He is the treasure. Keep oneself, keep yourself free. From the love of money. Why, how? He himself said, I will never leave you nor forsake you. He himself has, said, I will never desert you. I will never forsake you. So that we may confidently say, the Lord is my helper.
One of the great areas of neglect is having a minimized view of Jesus
Oh, brothers and sisters, what. What a rich. What a rich reality, man. What a rich reality. To consider that fortification against covetousness, fortification against the love of money flows from having a proper revelation of who Jesus is. One of the great areas of neglect and forfeiture is for professing believers to have a minimized view of who he truly is, to where we make much about everything else. Where we make, make, make, significance. And we apply significance and value and esteem and worth to. To all of these other things. And we have little estimation in our hearts for who Jesus is. Sometimes that low estimation for who Jesus is is reflected in the low. In the lowest estimation for his church, for his bride. When the scripture says things like, do good to everyone, especially to the household of faith, sometimes we take that with kind of a collective shrug. Not recognizing, man, that could be a reflection on what you really believe about Jesus. When we recognize that Jesus is the prize, we won't get too high or too low based on natural circumstances. Because even with the greatest successes, none of them eclipse being in Christ. None of them eclipse being in Christ. None of them eclipse, you know, having the comforter, the paraclete, to lead us and guide us into all truth, just as Jesus promised. None of. None of that surpasses that. Yes, we have great circumstances. We have great experiences. A couple years back, I got an award, for. For. For the program at Hamilton Corner. Praise God for that. Glory to God for that. But it doesn't eclipse being in Christ, man. It doesn't eclipse knowing that he has said of himself, he will never leave me nor forsake me. That's what he said. Now, that's a promise that he's made. And the word of God has testified, and I have experienced, that he is faithful to his word, that he is trustworthy, that he is that man. I'm getting myself excited. He is that very present help in time of need. He is the one that when Hurricane Katrina decimates the home you grew up in and you have no baby pictures, you have no possessions. But I still have Christ. I still have Christ. And he's the one. Even when you have, you know, past bar exams or whatever, and people recognize you for different things. I have Christ, guys. What a treasure. What a. What a value. What a blessed privilege to Be in the King of kings and the Lord of lords. I can be content with what I have and be free for the love of money, because he have said of himself, he will never leave me nor forsake me, so that now I can confidently say, and if you are in Christ, you can along with me and the Hebrew writer confidently say, the Lord is my helper. The Lord is my helper. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? Oh, what a glorious honor to be in Jesus, man. I pray that our Lord opens our eyes to have a proper estimation for who he truly, truly, truly is. A, discipleship minute with Joseph Parker. Psalm 92, beginning at verse 1. It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to the most high. It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning, your faithfulness in the evening. Accompanied by a 10 stringed instrument, a harp and the melody of a lyre. You thrill me, Lord, with all you've done for me. I sing for joy because of what you have done. Oh Lord, what great works you do, and how deep are your thoughts. Only a simpleton would not know, and only a fool would not understand this. Though the wicked sprout like weeds and evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever. But you, O Lord, will be exalted forever. Your enemies, Lord, will surely perish. All evildoers will be scattered. But you have made me as strong as a wild ox, shining light into the darkness. This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.

National Religious Broadcasters versus Billy Long over church tax exempt status
All right. We've had significant movement in one particular area that I want to bring to your attention. Some of you might have Heard about this already. But this is a case styled National Religious Broadcasters versus Billy Long and his official in his official capacity as Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service. This case was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. And simply put, the issue was that the National Religious Broadcasters Intercessors for America and two churches, Sand Springs Church and First Baptist Church of Wascom, filed a lawsuit against the IRS arguing that the Johnson Amendment as applied to churches, is unconstitutional. The argument by the plaintiffs, NRB Intercessors for America, Sandspring Church, Sand Springs Church, and First Baptist Church of Wascom, was that threatening church's tax exempt status in the event that they endorse a particular candidate or discuss electoral issues with the congregation is a violation of the US Constitution. Now, in full disclosure, I should. I'm going to say now that, I am a member of the Board of directors for National Religious Broadcasters, nrb. I'm on the board of directors. So I don't want to present this as if I am disinterested from the case. I'm interested as a believer first and foremost, but secondarily, I'm a member of the board of directors for nrb. Well, in the case, and this is the interesting development, because when President Trump came into office again, he also has the opportunity to change the executive leadership of the various executive federal government agencies, including three letter agencies. Billy Long is the Commissioner of the irs. And Billy Long entered what's called a joint motion for. For entry of consent judgment. That's what this is right here. So a joint motion is a motion filed in court with the consent of the parties that would be adverse to one another in the case. But in this instance, they've reached an agreement in the case in which the IRS has stated, via this motion, filed an open court that, that it agrees that it is unconstitutional to apply the Johnson Amendment to churches. This is kind of a big deal because many churches have steered clear from discussing politics, discussing electoral issues. I would argue discussing biblical morality as applied to public policy, because they don't want to get involved in politics. And I get it. I'm not saying that this decision should govern what pastors and churches should do, but it emphasizes something I've long said and a lot of people don't know this. And I'm actually going to post a link to this in the show notes as well. churches never had to register for 501c3 status in order to be exempt from federal taxation. The Founding Fathers have always knew and understood that churches should be Treated differently than. Than other entities in the country. There was this whole, you know, farewell address thing. You might have heard it before, you know, indispensable support. You ever heard of that? Religion and morality are indispensable to our framework. Yeah, that's, that's been true since there's been an America. But that being said, this joint motion has the IRS saying in open court that it would no longer adhere to any interpretive mechanism that said churches risk their tax exempt status if they. And I'll read directly from the, from the opinion. Here we go. Quote, this is page not. Not the opinion. This is the, the joint motion or a, joint motion for entry of consent judgment. Page three of the motion. It says for many houses of worship exercise their religious beliefs, including teaching or instructing their congregations regarding all aspects of life and including guidance concerning the impact of faith on the choices inherent in electoral politics. The motion goes on in joining defendants as well as their successors, agents and employees from enforcing the Johnson Amendment. That will be enjoying the IRS keeping the IRS from doing this against plaintiff churches based on speech by house of worship to its congregation in connection with religious services through its customary channels of communication on matters of faith and concerning electoral politics viewed through the lens of their faith. Accordingly, the parties request this court to enter the attached proposed order. Simply put, what the IRS and Billy Long is saying in open court is that is a violation of the U.S. constitution to prohibit churches and pastors from advising their congregants concerning the full counsel of their religious instruction. And even as it would apply to electoral politics. Now, to be clear about this, that this is a proposed order. The court has not yet signed it, but it is anticipated that it will because judges very rarely reject motions filed jointly between what should, what usually is adversarial parties. The adversaries are saying, no, no, no, we both agree with this and we're asking the court to rule this way. This is a big one. As you might imagine, that sound you hear is the screeching of regressives all over the country. You know, the American Humanist Association, Freedom from Religion Foundation, Americans United for the Separation of Church and State. They are now trying to. Trying to intervene in the lawsuit. You know, it's kind of late because the parties have come to an agreement between themselves. Now you're trying to jump into the lawsuit. I expect that they will fail and that this will be signed by the judge. but it's important, but it is important to note that even before the judge is able to sign, before the judge signs it, that this is now the public posture of the Internal Revenue Service. That's a big deal. Now, let's be candid. Regressive churches have been doing this for the longest. I mean, do I even need to talk about how many times she shall never be president with the hot sauce in her bag showed up in certain churches? Do we need to talk about how, word salad, she'll never be president at the remix shows up in certain church? Do we need to. Do we need to have those conversations? But it's only when biblically conservative churches would dare want to address things publicly from the pulpit. Do you have concerns out, Bishop Wooden in North Carolina, he had IRS agents basically raid his church demanding the production of certain, you know, recordings of sermons and things because he's a bold shepherd proclaiming the truth. And the IRS threatened him and threaten their church. That won't be happening any longer. So this is an important development, because I agree that it is like, pastors don't lose their First Amendment rights when they get on the pulpit, when they mound a pulpit. You know, that's just the truth. That's just the truth. Now, I want to be clear about something else. This order is limited to churches, so. So it wouldn't apply more broadly to 501 C3 organizations that are not churches. All right, so I want to be clear in saying that, but this applies to churches. Now. This doesn't say whether or not a particular local assembly should or shouldn't do this. I'm not saying whether you should or shouldn't do it. But what I want you to know is that the whole threat of the loss of tax exempt status, this is being moved off the table. All right, so that's important. That is an important development, and it'll be interesting to see what the midterm elections look like, that are just around the corner.
State court Judge Hannah Dugan used courtroom door to help illegal alien
All right, we'll move on a little. A little bit. Now, you guys remember, the. The state court Judge Hannah Dugan in Wisconsin, who for some reason was. Is so committed to the cause of the illegal alien that she used. She used her chamber and the jury room and a door that is used exclusively for jurors to help an illegal alien who was, in fact, a, Mexican national who was in her courtroom because he was charged with criminal assault. That's why he was in her courtroom. And ice, following through on President Trump's instruction, under the auspices of, Tom Holman, showed up at the court hearing. I heard as an illegal alien here, we got a warrant for his Arrest. And the judge herself takes it upon herself to be a diversion, literally, to divert the attention of the ICE agents so that the illegal alien can be escorted through the jury room to escape detention. You remember that story. She then was rebuked by the Wisconsin State Supreme Court, immediately removed from the bench. But, ho, ho, ho, that wasn't all. She was arrested and indicted and charged with the federal felony concealing a person from arrest. Well, Judge Dugan filed a motion to dismiss her criminal charges in federal court, among other things. This. This. Well, this is funny, among other things, to say that what judges are immune from. Don't do it. Judges are immune from prosecution for their official acts. So. So Judge Dugan had the unmitigated audacity to say her trying to be an offensive lineman for the illegal alien. You know, she the Laine Johnson of the judiciary. You know, if you don't know about football, Laine Johnson is an offensive lineman for the Philadelphia Eagles football team. You know, football, not soccer. So she. She doing Elaine Laine Johnson impersonation. You know her, huh? Judiciary tush push, if you will, for the illegal alien. And then she didn't expect to get caught. But here's the thing that's so funny. Judge Dugan was caught on video. All of this is on video. Watch and listen. And I'm, sharing this for a reason. Watch and listen to clip number two. Go. For the first time, we're seeing Judge Hannah Dugan outside her courtroom April 18, wearing her black robes, appearing to confront several federal agents there to arrest Eduardo Flores Ruiz, a Milwaukee man and Mexican national charged locally with three counts of domestic battery. This video, released by Milwaukee county through an open records request, is part of the evidence in the case against Judge Dugan, who's charged with obstructing a federal investigation, concealing Flores Ruiz, allowing him to leave her courtroom by a different door after sending the agents to speak to the chief Judge Flores Ruiz, dressed in black with his attorney, is seen in several of the videos leaving by that other door, one prosecutors say was used by jurors and not open to the public. There he is. Have you watching. Going in the jury, going through the jury room door. So. So she literally. I mean, this is like. Like straight up a. A Batman cartoon. I need a diversion, you know? So she whips up a diversion and directs the ICE agents. Well, you guys need to go down the hall and talk to the senior judge. The senior jet. Yeah, or she's right down the hall. Come and talk to the senior judge. He's over here. While she has a Staff directing old boy out of the jury room now. Why am I bringing this up? Because. I'm, bringing this up because Judge Dugan filed her motion to dismiss. Oh, boy. This is funny. This is kind of the. The district district court level smackdown of, what Justice Amy Coney Barrett did with. With Justice Katanji Brown. Jackson is saying. I don't know what she's talking about, but her opinion is not based on anything in the Constitution, nor in precedent. Well, in her motion to dismiss. Well, this is funny, boy. Judge Dugan's lawyers said that, well, the court needs to throw this case out because I'm a judge, don't you know? Or at least I was. And this was one of my official acts, so I'm immune. I'm. I declare I'm immune from prosecution for said acts because it is done in my, official capacity. US Magistrate Judge Nancy Joseph said, not so fast, my friend. She pulled out her dickimbe Mutombo finger. No, no, no. Judge Nancy Joseph responds, quote, it is well established and undisputed that judges have absolute immunity from civil lawsuits for monetary damages when engaging in judicial acts. This, however, is not a civil case, and review of the case law does not show an extension of this established doctrine to the criminal context. End quote. You see, Judge Dug and I declare your immunity doesn't extend to criminal activity, ma'. Am. That's like saying if a judge is snorting cocaine in chambers, the judge can't be arrested for cocaine possession because it's in their official capacity. Get out of here with that. I gotta have more cowbell. That is insane. And, part of the evidence has you on video all the way live, you know, on video, running the triple option with the ICE agents. Which way did he go? Guys, I'm telling you, we should have respect for people in authority. Don't assume because somebody has a black dress on, they're behind the bench that they're smart. Because Judge Dugan should have known. And. And really, I'm pretty sure she did know. Her lawyers are trying to throw a Hail Mary. Well, all kind of sports metaphors here. Try to throw anything up to say, because truthfully, behind the scenes, I know this ain't. Man, we got nothing. We got nothing.
You can't obstruct a federal criminal investigation. They are lawfully present in the courtroom
You can't obstruct a federal criminal investigation. They have. They are lawfully present in the courtroom. Lawfully attempting to detain a person who has violated federal immigration law. And he's also violated American law. He's also violated the laws of the state of Wisconsin, which is why he's in your courtroom in the first place, yet this is the one you're gonna throw your judicial career in the trash can over. Boy, regressivism is mental. Some would say truth is relative and to the world. That's right. What the world considers to be truth fluctuates depending on the narrative they're trying to promote. Of course, we know truth is found in scripture and it never changes. The, the documentary, the God who Speaks, proves the Bible's reliability as the source of real truth and reinforces our belief in it as our firm foundation. Watch it anytime@stream.afa.net that's stream.aca.net Life can.

Magistrate judge denies Judge Dugan's dismissal motion; case pending now
Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton iii here it's pro. It should be obvious by now, but the magistrate judge denied Judge Dugan's dismissal motion. but the case is pending now. I should, you know, truth is often stranger than fiction. The case is pending in a court to where the presiding district court judge is U.S. district Judge Lynn Adelman, who was appointed by one William Jefferson Clinton. So we will see what happens with this magistrate's decision in light of this prosecution. But when you have such video evidence as is available in this case, it's going to be kind of hard to wiggle out of that one. But. Well, we'll see. We'll see.
People are trying to vilify ICE and Border Patrol for pursuing violent criminals
All right now. And I'm, I'm, I'm sharing this next story because there's been lots of conversations that people are attempting to vilify ICE and Border Patrol and saying, oh, you're going after peaceful people and, you know, you're going after housekeepers. I'm like, man, come on, miss me with this nonsense. That's not who is being pursued primarily. But what Tom Holman and ICE have said is that they are not going to act like other illegal aliens are not present when they're pursuing the most egregious criminals. So if you're going after the murderers and the rapists and the, and the armed robbers and things of this nature. And they happen to be in the presence of the butcher, the bacon, the candlestick maker. Everybody has room. That's what Tom Holman has said.
Department of Homeland Security arrests two Salvadoran gang members in Nebraska
All right, I just want to present something for your consideration. Just today, the Department of Homeland Security has announced the arrest of two Ms. 13 gang leaders, both wanted in El Salvador for violent, violent crimes, including murder, drug trafficking, gang conspiracy and more. One of the gang members who's been named Renee Escobar, Ochoa, was arrested yesterday during a coordinated law enforcement operation. And this is what I want you to think about in Omaha, Nebraska. If you're watching the show, Renee Escobar Ochoa is on your left on the screen. All right, the other gentleman, DHS has not released his name yet, but has been identified. Well, let me, let me stay back on. Renee Escobar Choa Ochoa faces an Interpol red notice from El Salvador for conspiracy to commit murder and drug trafficking. The second gentleman on the screen. Gentleman is not appropriately employed, is a Salvadoran national. But ICE hasn't released his name yet because of the lengthy utilization of aliases. But they, they've been able to identify him through biometrics and fingerprints as one of El Salvador's 100 most wanted fugitives. Guess where they found him. You ready for this? Council Bluffs, Iowa. That's where they found him. That's where they found him. These are the kinds of people who have been letting the country. Most recently, Ochoa was detained by ICE in 2023 and guess what had happened, Mr. Robinettes. Folks, let him go. Let him go. This is not in New Mexico. This is not in Texas. This is not in California. This is in Nebraska and in Iowa. Listen to and watch this brief clip about these two who were detained. And the announcement was made today that they were in ICE custody. Clip number one. Clip one, Go.
Dr. Jessica Peck: ICE says the man killed five people and is accused of other crimes including attempted aggravated homicide and terrorist organization affiliation. They have not released his name, but say he was arrested alongside a third 30 year old associate, Renee Saul Escobar Ochoa. This video shows their arrests. You can hear an officer yell at occupants in the vehicle to open the door.
Abraham Hamilton III: Open the door. Open the door. Step out.
Dr. Jessica Peck: A few seconds later you see a man put both his hands in the air and walk toward officers. I says both are in the country illegally. And Escobar Ochoa is also a nurse. Ms. 13 gang member wanted in El Salvador and is also accused of giving Orders to other gang members to commit several crimes, including multiple homicides and drug trafficking. Investigators say the two embedded themselves in the Omaha area and quote, posed a severe threat to the safety of the local community.
Abraham Hamilton III: Now this is in the center of our country, guys. Contrary to what you may hear, and I know Joe Rogan has been saying other things, the objection, I'm sorry, the objective has always been this as a matter of top line priority. But as Tom Holman has said, and I completely agree with it, you don't just wink and act like when these people are arrested and they happen to be in the presence of other illegal aliens who may not be as violent criminals and maybe not be equally as criminal as these criminals, but you don't act like they're not criminals at all. You know, and, frankly I'm sick and tired of this notion that people entering our country illegally have not committed any crimes. That's a crime. It literally is a federal crime to enter our country illegally. And so what you're witnessing is a full on effort by regressives. Because among the things, it's not the exclusive objective, but among the things that regressors want is to have is a secured particular voting block. That's just, that's kind of evident. That's not the only objective. I explained to you guys that illegal immigration is the cloud pivot strategy applied to our southern border dominantly. But these are the types of people known Ms. 13 Gang members with arrest warrants internationally hanging out in the middle of the country. The question I have for you, what do you think would happen with these guys if President Trump didn't have the mandate to try to reverse the open borders policy of the last four years? You know, conservative estimates are 10 million people entered the country within the last four years. I am passionately convinced that that is far too low a number. It could be upwards of 20 million people in four years. I'm telling you, using those numbers is sometimes difficult for people. But when you understand you're talking about five times the population of the entire state of Louisiana. Do you understand what I'm telling you? Five times the population in four years. How do you absorb that? How do you absorb that, guys? It's absurd. And to sit back and all these, oh, this is immoral what's happening. It's immoral what happened. Attempting to reverse what happened is not immoral. And we've, we, and I'm not going to do this now, but we, we've had conversations ad nauseam about these people are unvetted. We don't know who they are. We don't know where they came from. They're coming to our country now. And now that we're investigating and finding Ms. 13 members that are accused of being multiple murderers. Multiple. And it's just, it's just so patently obvious because this didn't, this was not formally a partisan conversation. You used to have Democrats who say, yeah man, we got to stop illegal immigration. Go and go and go and find clips from Barack Obama when he ran for office, ran for president. You were like, what? Who trumped Obama? Pun intended. She who shall never ever, ever, ever go and listen to old Biden speeches. It's just crazy that we've got to this place where now, you know, border security is a Republican thing. No, guys, it's an American thing. It's an American thing. And the whole nation was on alert when, you know, the bunker busting bombs took aim at the nuclear enrichment facilities in Iran. Why? Because maybe there's sleeper cells throughout America. And how many came in during this free for all at our southern border? It's just, it's just sad. And the main reason why I'm m doing this is because I want you to be fortified against the manipulation. You know, the objective is not to try to find people who are working, you know, blue collar jobs and things of that nature. The objective, the top line objective is criminal illegal aliens with violent criminal histories. But in the course of pursuing them, ICE and Tom Holman is not going to ignore other illegal aliens who may be in the presence of, of these folks. That's what's going on now. Let's be clear. I think we need to deport all of the illegal aliens who enter the country illegally. We do because we cannot absorb 20 million people in four years.
The Gold cup soccer tournament was just held in Houston, Texas
You add that to the number of illegal aliens who were there beforehand and you start to begin to see things like let's, let's just, let's just have a conversation about something. Let's be real for a second, right? So the Gold cup soccer tournament was just in Houston, Texas, Right. And then the finals of the Gold cup, you know who was in it? Mexico and the United States of America. You want to know what the common conversation in sports radio is that the Gold cup final was a home game for Mexico. How do you get to places where Mexico has a home game in America? Well, I'm sure it's all legal aliens that filled Houston NRG stadium. Guys, that and many of you go knows. I started my legal career in Houston, Texas. The legal system cannot function In Texas without translation assistance. How does that happen? I'm sure every court in Mexico has English translators standing by. I'm sure. I'm sure that happens. I'm. I'm sure. Come on, man. Insanity.
Defense Department withdraws nomination of Rear Admiral Buzz Donnelly for 7th Fleet
Last few moments. I'll share this. The Defense Department, under Pete Hegseth, has withdrawn the nomination of Rear Admiral Michael Buzz Donnelly. Buzz Donnelly was over the USS Ronald Reagan from 2016 to 2018. During that time. During that time, Buzz Donnelly allowed there to be drag shows on the ship specifically for morale, welfare and recreation. The Defense department announced on June 18 that Donnelly was nominated for a promotion to vice admiral and an appointment as Commander of the 7th Fleet, the largest overseas force the Navy has. But then a little birdie said a little, you know, old Buzz Donnelly, he's the one that had the. The drag shows on the ship to which Pete Hegseth has announced. Mr. Donnelly's name has been withdrawn from said nomination, which, you know, I know a lot of people will be up in arms. That's horrible. Somebody want to explain to me what a drag. Drag show on a Navy ship has to do with military readiness? Someone want to tell me that? Anybody. Anybody want to tell me what a dude dressing up as a woman and gyrating and carrying on. What does that have to do with. What does that have to do with military preparedness? More importantly, what does that say about the judgment of a leader who was over at that time, the USS Ronald Reagan? And is that the type of judgment we want promoted to oversee the largest Navy force that we have, the seventh Fleet? Is that what we want to do? This is what happens when the new sheriff's in town. The Trump administration has said, nah, I think we're going to run that one back, or rear admiral is not going to become vice admiral. You know What I mean, Mr. Mr. Buzz Donnelly, you know. Right, right. Buzz, I hope. Buzz, I hope you're not you. Nobody told you to have. Was this guy's name Yeoman Second Class Joshua Kelly? Nobody told you to have him up there? What's he doing out of uniform on a carrier? Bobby asked a question. Bobby said, this. This is for Buzz. Bobby says, what is Yeoman Second Class Joshua Kelly doing out of uniform on the carrier? That's what Bobby wants to know. That's about. I didn't say that. You heard. I didn't. Bobby said that. I didn't say that. Bobby wants to know when. What is Yeoman Second Class Joshua Kelly doing on the carrier out of uniform? And how then can we promote you, sir? If you allow that on the USS Ronald Reagan, how could you then become Vice admiral overseeing the seventh fleet? Judgment requires order. have a seat, Mr. Donnelly. Have a seat. New sheriffs in town, military readiness is the order of the day. We don't want our navy to be a laughingstock. And now President Trump is in office. I don't think the world is laughing too much. At a minimum, the Iranians ain't laughing, and the world isn't laughing. You've been listening to the Hamilton Corner. Lord willing, we will be back tomorrow. Y' all have a great evening.
