The planned theatrical intrusion into Cities Church in MN was a calculated maneuver to bolster a flailing pseudo-cause.

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, hosted by Abraham Hamilton iii

And now, the, Hamilton Corner. Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the Hamilton Corner. My name is Abraham Hamilton iii. I am the host of the program, joined on this evening by the Corner contingent, as is the custom right across from me, my man, 100 grand to Mr. Bobby Rosa, who's just commenting on, Emmanuel Macron's pension for aviators. Apparently this guy in the screening room we have produce extraordinaire, often imitated, but never duplicated successfully, that is, many try, but, you know, they fry. None other than the real J. Mac. Ladies and gentlemen, we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program.

Coleman: Many of you are making your transition from part time jobs

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 allowing the primacy that God places on the family to guide and to govern our engagement. We will never be able to, as a society, as a nation, and most importantly, as the church of the living God, be able to outpace deficiencies that abound in the home. There's a reason why people, unfortunately, many evil people who had wicked intentions, they understood the significance of children. They understood the significance of that formative stage of life. But we all too often place significance and importance on everything else, only to realize sometimes, when it's too late, that man, this is where I should have been spending my time. I've shared before one of the great blessings in my life. My pastor in NewSong Orleans had the wisdom and the foresight, as he discerned, God was calling me to serve in ministry in various capacities, to assign me to the seasoned saints. So I got to spend a significant amount of time with some people in the latter years, in the latter days of their lives. And I never, never, not once. There's not a person that I spend time with that ever say, you know what? I wish I just could have got another overtime shift. It's never happened. Never happened. You know, I wish, I wish I Could have. I wish I could have just spent a little bit more time trading stocks and never had. What has happened most routinely were expressions and laments concerning family life. The reason why I offered exhortation, that I do on a daily basis on this program about our full time jobs is because my hope and my prayer is that this audience will consist of people, will contribute to a reduction in the quantity of people who would say in the latter stages of their lives. I wish I would have done more in my family. We have got to understand the significance that God places on family man. When we consider the commission that God gave to his disciples to execute his commission to make disciples, we have an, opportunity to do that starting right in our own homes. So as you're making your transition, take full advantage of the breath that God has given you and the time that he's given you on his earth, on this side of eternity, to be about his business to starting right in our homes. And I'm not talking at you with this. I am talking with you because I endeavor to do the same thing in my family, in my home as well. To the word of God we go. Colossians, chapter two. It's a portion of scripture we've talked about quite a bit on this program. But I want to go back to it because when you see things like, the coordinated, planned, strategic invasion into the city's church in Minnesota, you have to understand that this. And I'm going to get into this in the second segment, but this was a specified, coordinated, planned faux test promulgated to spur specific responses within the reality of the emotional, fallout of witnessing that. I mean, the pastor was about to lead the church in celebrating the Lord's table. You know, that is a visceral phenomenon. But it shouldn't be lost on you that these people showed up with a professional camera crew and Don. Easy peasy, lemon juice squeezy. You think that was a coincidence? He just happened to be these stumble. Hey, what are you gonna do? Hey, let's just show Don Lemon clearly knows nothing about the first Amendment. Because you're asking the pastor. Well, don't you know we have a First Amendment? Cole, You stupid. You sure? Are you sure Is the first Amendment don't give you the right to trespass on private property, Chief. But the word of God. Colossians, chapter 2, verse 8. We've talked about this entire framework before, but today I want to remind you what it says here. See to it. Remember that the Lord is speaking to the church through the apostle Paul, when he writes this, see to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ. The warning here was to the body of Christ to make sure that Christ followers remain anchored to the truth of God's word and resolve to obey the Lord no matter the circumstances. When people sin against you, it does not give you a license to sin against them. It is not sinful to protect yourselves and others from harm. That is not sinful. This is why we talked about this before. The commandment, the six commandments, is thou shall not murder. It doesn't say thou shalt not kill. What's the difference? Thou shall not murder. The command is, you shall not take innocent human life. Innocent human life. But if one conducts himself in a manner to where they are attacking you or attacking your children or attacking your loved ones or attacking someone more vulnerable, you would not be sending sinning and neutralizing that threat and protecting yourself, your person, the people near you, the people with you, the loved ones, etc. That's not sinful.

Our culture has been seeking to normalize lawlessness and disrespect for law enforcement

All right. One of the things that we need to come face to face with, and we've Talked about Isaiah 59, for example, in this regard. Lawlessness. Lawlessness, is not something you can keep in the corner, you know, like, like, like a pet pooch. Okay, now. Okay, now. Boo, Boo, I'm going to let you out and you get in the corner. Stay. Lawlessness don't work like that, Chief. Lawlessness is more like Hurricane Katrina floodwaters. When them levees breach, that water goes everywhere. Everywhere. It shouldn't be surprising that the whole scenario and the fallout of things, surrounding George Floyd happened in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area. They were one of the first areas to want to defund the police. They were one of the lightning rods to cultivate an acceptable normalization of lawlessness in our country. There have been efforts to make the American populace comfortable with invectives first. And this is always how it goes, guys. You dehumanize people, then you attack them rhetorically, using words to diminish their significance within the culture, and then you attack them physically. Our culture has been seeking to normalize lawlessness and a disrespect for law enforcement. Now, it is true all people are made in the image of God, yes, But all people have a sin nature. So you have good and bad within every, any profession. A person's profession doesn't automatically sanitize their character, but they're also simultaneously, there is A responsibility especially for believers to understand the reality of Romans 13 in which God refers to law enforcement in particular as his minister for justice communicating what government should be and do in a right manner versus what has happened in a wrong manner. But what has happened in our society has been a cultivation of a normalization of lawlessness. We've seen that lawlessness even reflected in a lack of reverence for God, shootings in churches. And now we've seen just this past Sunday a full on theatrical performance put on. Oh yeah, they called it a protest. But that was a faux test. That was a faux test and I'm going to get into this in the second segment. It was a faux testament to prop up their flailing efforts to come up with the, the latest civil rights movement. I was reading somewhere that said, you know, immigration enforcement is white supremacy. Huh? Immigration enforcement is white supremacy. But it just smacks of ignorance. It just smacks of ignorance. Do you realize how many people who live in our country who have migrated legally also want immigration enforcement? And you know, the consistent effort to try to. It's kind of like you want to talk about white supremacy. What's more white supremacy than you trying to tell Spanish speaking people how they supposed to say their language? You will say Latinx. That word don't exist in Spanish, man. No, but you need to say it because you need to be politically correct. Says who? Man, go sit down somewhere. Go sit down somewhere. But I'm presenting this Colossians 2, 8 because my concern is that there will be good God fearing people who are frustrated about the way things are unfolding in our country and they will allow their emotions to overwhelm their response. Which I'll just tell you plainly, that is what the faux testers want. The faux testers want Bible believing, God fearing people to allow their emotions to override their, their, their intelligence and to respond emotionally. You know, like, like here's an example on, on the lawful front, right? I've read and seen and heard. Well, let me go in the other direction first and I'll say this. How long have we been, have people like me on this program been calling for the repeal of things like the FACE Act? How, how long have we been doing that? And now following this Minnesota thing now you have good intentioned people who probably share my love for the Lord and his bride who would say that we need to use the FACE act to prosecute this case. Like what? And I know some people like well, well they did it guys. That they did it should never be the The. The marching order or. Or the tone and the. The. The. The raison d' for your engagement. The reason for your engagement should never be. Well, they did it. I mean, do you remember that back? I remember. Remember? Mom, why'd you punch your brother? He hit me first. And what did your mom say? I didn't ask you what he did. I. Guys, we cannot be able to be. Be jerked around by our emotions. Never forget, God has given us emotions, and they have a purpose. But God didn't give us our emotions so that they lead us. Emotions are horrible generals, but they're tremendous foot soldiers. My concern is that there's some who will allow this horrendous affront to God and his church and to the people of God to overwhelm their capacity to truly assess what's going on and may unintentionally find themselves falling right into the trap that the faux testers wanted all along. Before we go any further and before we get to the second segment, just stop and think for a moment. Why did they have a professional camera crew with them? How and why did they dig up easy peasy don lemon juice squeezy to show up on the scene? And who else was involved? Oh, that's right. Paid organizers More when we get back from this break. A, discipleship minute with Joseph Parker.

Abraham Hamilton III: Reading and meditating on God's Word is valuable

>> Joseph Parker: Time. Reading and meditating on God's Word is so valuable. It blesses you in ways that you and I don't fully comprehend. But remember, when you're reading the word of God, you're spending time with Jesus. You're spending time in the presence of Jesus. Jesus is touching you, ministering to you, giving you wisdom, insight, and the knowledge of God. And let me say to every parent listening again, having your child to read the Word out loud to you every day, I can't overemphasize how important that very important spiritual habit is in your home for you and your family as well. Remember, when the child is reading the word of God out loud to you, they're spending time with Jesus. Jesus is touching their life. He's ministering to them. He's pouring grace, peace, and light into your child's heart and mind. Nothing will bless your child more than the powerful word of God.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Shining light into the darkness. This is the Hamilton Corner, on American Family Radio. Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner.

Bobby Meader: Any loss of life is a tragedy

All right, I've been alluding to this already, but I'm going to go into a little bit more detail now because, you know, during the break, Bobby Meader, reference to low information voters. And that's a phrase that, you know, Rush Limbaugh coined, which unfortunately is an appropriate description for some people. but you had trained protesters and agitators who show up at a church with a professional camera crew, and they dug up, dug up Don Lemon to show up. And, it's just laughable the things that Don Lemon says. And I'll get into his comments in a moment because his exchange with the pastor of the church, it was, it was, it was, it was laughable. The pastor, Jonathan Parnell, the protesters came announcing the name of an elder who's a lay elder in the church, because he, works for ice. But they showed up in this fashion to provoke the type of response because the truth is their efforts to whip the nation into a frenzy, you know, trying to turn Renee Good into their latest. George Floyd, right to their latest focal point, is not working, you know, because people have these things called computers and they've seen video and they saw where the vehicles were positioned and all, and, and realize it's no doubt a tragedy. Any loss of life is a tragedy. But if we're going to be candid about the scenario, it is a tragedy of Renee Good's causings. that's Just. It was an entirely unavoidable scenario. Her actions leading up to the final actions of her life unfortunately caused the scenario. So you. You have these protesters, and it's unfortunate, but if you read their writings, like, for example, rules for Radicals, A, pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals, written by Saul Alinsky. He explains these tactics. It's not like they're. They're hidden anywhere. Their tactics are in plain sight. And I, And I really believe that this was. Was kind of a desperate effort to redefine a narrative around this entire scenario, because they're literally calling it, like, Operation Ice Floyd or something like that. Operation Ice Floyd. They're trying to make a, George Floyd remix out of Renee Good. But the purpose has nothing to do with Renee Good as an individual and has everything to do with their efforts to foment chaos and to use chaos as a circumstantial phenomenon that will cause American citizens to willingly cede their lawful authority in their rights and freedoms. That literally is the objective. And so what they're seeking to accomplish. You just read their writings. They want to provoke who they believe are their enemies into a predictable, emotion led response. In a rhetorical version of that, two seconds ago, you were against the face act. Now you're saying we need to use the face act. Guys, there are, There. There is. There is sufficient legal basis to prosecute the criminals. And I want to be absolutely clear about this. The people who encroached upon private property, interrupted a worship service, demanded the course of the service to be changed. Those are criminal activities. There is no First Amendment right to criminal activity. I mean, this is a crude analogy, but I can steal your stuff and say, no, it's just a protest. I'm just protesting. What are you processing? I'm protesting my lack of stuff. How are you doing? So by taking yours. It's just a protest. It's. It's a. It's a foolish thing to assert. And to say that you can shield yourself from criminal culpability by saying, now we're just protesting, that's absurd. It's absurd.

Don Lemon questions pastor about intruding on Christian worship service

So you have this, and I'm sure many of you have seen this video, but I'll play this one. When Don Lemon finds himself, I guess, grilling, the pastor of the church. It's a laughable phenomenon, but he does so nonetheless. Listen to and watch clip number two. Clip two, go.

>> Don Lemon: What do you think of it? I mean, this is unacceptable. It's shameful. It's shameful to. To interrupt, a public gathering of Christians in worship. But there were folks who will say, I have to take care of my flock. Okay, listen. We live in a. There's a constitution in the First Amendment to freedom of speech and freedom to assemble and protest. We're here to worship. We're here to worship.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Jes.

>> Don Lemon: Because that's the hope of these cities, that's the hope of the world, is Jesus Christ. I'm going to be very respectful. Please don't push me, though. We're here. We're here to worship Jesus. That's why we're here.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Okay?

>> Don Lemon: That's why we're here. That's what we're about. What do you think Jesus would be understanding? And we're about love. These folks. We're about spreading the love of Jesus. Did you try to talk to them as a Christian? No one is willing to talk, okay? I have to take care of my church, my family. So I asked this. You actually would also leave this building. You don't want us to worship unless you're here to worship.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: I'm always worship.

>> Don Lemon: I'm a Christian. We're here. Well, we're here to worship. We're here to worship.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Okay.

>> Don Lemon: Thank you very much. I appreciate.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Nah, bro. Okay, so first of all, I'm gonna be. I'm gonna be respectful, but please don't push me. You barged into the church where this man is a shepherd. You barge into the church where this man is a shepherd, and you're going to demand that we're going to be respectful. Please don't push me. Cole, you stupid. You picked the right one. Okay, legalities first. You don't have a lawful right. The First Amendment protects citizens and their right to protest against the government. The government. You. You don't. You don't. You don't. You don't get the right to. To encroach or trespass upon private property and say that my trespass is protected by the First Amendment. It's called criminal trespass. It's literally called criminal trespass. Then. Then he went on to say, did you try to talk to these people? Come on, Don. That was a goal for them to talk. The whole purpose of you for the intrusion to church, so to have a reasonable discourse over whatever issues. And the pastor said it, right? They don't want to talk. They didn't come there to talk. They didn't come there to talk. But I want you to see what's happening. So the entire phenomenon was. It was a, trained, tactical phenomenon. Provoked, not merely. And this is, how, you know not for the people who are in the building. Not for the people in the building. This was for the world's consumption. Hence the presence of. Of a professional film crew. They weren't there to converse with the locals. No, guys. They were using the locals and using the church as a stage to put their show on for the rest of the world. That's why they were there with a film crew. That's why they were there with even a moderator for the evening's events. Don Lemon. We have a constitution. We have a First Amendment. Yes, Don, and it doesn't apply to a private gathering for the church. In fact, the first amendment prohibits Congress from making any law to infringe upon our capacity and ability to do what we're doing right now. And the first amendment does not protect your ability to illegally enter the premises and to interrupt our, worship service. So get out.

The tactic is employed in an effort to intimidate Christians from public discourse

The next thing I want you to see that the tactic is employed for the world's consumption in an effort to cause Christians to voluntarily stop speaking. It's an effort to intimidate. It's an effort to intimidate and to delegitimize Christians from public discourse. Don't fall for it. In fact, not responding emotionally to this. Respond with clarity and insight and wisdom. Remember when Jesus was passing by and Bartimaeus the blind man was trying to get Jesus's attention, and the people wanted to shut Jesus, shut Bartimaeus up. And what did Bartimaeus do? He cried out all the more. I want to tell you very plainly, brothers and sisters, don't allow this to dissuade you, to intimidate you, to cause you to be unwilling to speak the truth of God's word to issues that are unfolding in our public discourse. Speak it even more. Speak it even more. Proclaim the truth even more reasonably and with clarity and thoroughly articulate the perspectives. You go through this, you know, Don Lemon randomly pulled a guy up to say, to try to make a point, that this is a. A grassroots protest. And he turned to a man by the name of Jamal Lundy. Who is Jamal Lundy? Well, I'm glad you asked. Jamal Lundy just happens to be the intergovernmental affairs coordinator for Hennepin County Attorney Mark Mary Moriarty. Moriarty. Oh, yeah. Oh, Jamal. Oh, Jamal Lundy. Jamal Lundy's job. This is old Jamal, Bobby. He is right here. This is old Jamal. Jamal Lundy's job is to coordinate and intergovernmental affairs. You know, like if the federal government has to prosecute a matter in Minnesota, The Hennepin County Attorney's office would. Would. Would confer with the. With the Department of Justice. Guess who would be doing it? Jamal Lundy. And you know, Jamal Lundy also just happens to also be married to a government worker. Can I make this stuff up? So, so, so, so this is. This is just a grassroots. I'm a local M. Minnesota government worker. This is just a grassroots protest, Guys? It was not a grassroots protest at all. It was a staged and planned and coordinated left wing theatrical performance. That is what it was. So what I started off with in Colossians, chapter two, don't be taken captive. Don't be taken captive. Yes. Jamal Lundy is married to an elected official. I had her name. Had her name here. Oh, and by the way, I left this out. And Jamal Lundy is running for this Minnesota state senate right now. He's running for the Minnesota state senate. You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. Bingo. Bingo. Or Jamal is running for a senate district seat. I'm sorry, Senate seat 65. He running for 65. There he is. Jamal Lundy running for Senate district 65. But it was. It was a grassroots protest, you know, spontaneous. Guys, it was not any sort. Any sort. It was a paid, trained, organized effort to use the provocative stage of invading a church, which is egregious and sinful and criminal. And guess what? It is being investigated criminally. Don't allow this to cause any of you to become or to lean toward, you know, vigilant. Vigilantism. Now don't think I'm saying something that I'm not. I'm not saying in this day and age, churches need to consider security. It's sad, but it's a reality. When I'm traveling to different places, we have to have conversations about security. That. That is the reality of the world that we're living in. So don't misconstrue what I'm saying at all. But also don't allow. The Marxist organizers to provoke you into a predictable response. They predict that this will cause some Christians who attend worship services, who are also second amendment law abiding citizens, to move over towards vigilantism simply out of the frustration of the moment. What I'm saying is don't let. Don't allow that to happen. Protect your churches, protect your families, but don't allow these people to move you to go beyond what the scripture says. The thing that fortifies us as the bride of Christ from being captive is not the flesh. It's not letting emotion lead. It is by being anchored to the word of God. Now we're going to do our diligence, develop our security teams at our churches to keep people from trespassing. We're going to have staff that understands the Constitution, understands what Don Lemon Juice Squeezy talks about a First Amendment. We'll be able to rightly say yes. And that applies to the government, not to our private property. And we hold our ground in truth, the truth of God's word and the truth of being lawful citizens. Lawlessness won't provoke lawlessness in us.

Federal subpoenas have been issued to Minnesota elected officials over alleged criminal activity

Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here. Here's another, goal of these faux testers. Very similar to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey or Fry. How do you pronounce his name? Is it Fry, Jacob Fry and Tim Waltz. I want to be Vice president. No, no, I want to run president. Oh, I want to be governed again. No, I'm not running for governor anymore. And I told you then that a lot of their fermentation. We have trained National Guardsmen ready to. You know, I was like, y' all trying to take the heat off yourselves. Well, to that point, subpoenas have just been issued to Jacob Frey and Tim Waltz and other Minnesota government elected officials for their criminal activity in the state. Listen to and watch clip number three. Clip three, go.

>> Speaker E: That's right, Thomas. Slew of subpoenas now coming from the Department of Justice to officials in Minnesota, state and local as well, from the Minnesota Attorney General to the office of the Governor there, the Minneapolis Mayor, Jacob Fry, who has been very public, very front and center in this. We can pull it up on screen. You can see the list of subpoenas there. According to a document reviewed by NBC News and a person familiar with the investigation, the subpoenas, according to the doj, are that related to this idea that Minnesota public officials, according to the Trump administration, conspired to impede law enforcement during immigration operations there. We already have a response now from, the office of the Minneapolis mayor, from Mayor Fry, who's suggesting that the federal government is weaponizing its power to try to intimidate local leaders for doing their jobs. Going on to say that every American should be concerned. He says we shouldn't have to live in a country where people fear that federal law enforcement will be used to play politics or crack down on local voices they disagree with.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Is that what it is, Fryman? French fry. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Excellent observation, sir. so Bobby says, what, for doing their jobs? no, sir. You see, the federal government, in order to sustain any criminal charges, they have to prove criminality. And if you are doing your jobs, there is nothing in your job description that says commit crimes. I might have been born at night, but it wasn't last night. French fry. French fry. Statement says we're the Department of Justice is attempting to intimidate us for doing our jobs. That's what it is, bro. So. So how. How long have you been in office? And how many federal subpoenas have you received since you've been in office? Huh? Huh? Oh, none. Until now, you say? Oh, and this is what I'm saying. Now, on the other hand, I've been saying this, right? And one of the commenters made a shrewd observation. You know, Abe, there's been a whole lot of investigations. We don't see any consequences. I'm with you. That is a point. That is a salient point. That's why you don't see, hear me on this show every day, going through every stitch of evidence that has been publicly released. For example, concerning Barack Obama's efforts to undermine President Trump's election in 2016, you know, she should never be president. All of these things over and over again. I, I wake me up when somebody is going to jail. I've said that, and I agree. But at the exact same time, we do not have the lawful authority to become vigilantes. Vigilantism is not just. Is not anchoring the truth. Now, somebody come to attack. You know, as I've said, churches should and must in this day and age, have security teams, you know, and be prepared to neutralize threats, because these things are happening in our day and age. So don't misconstrue what I'm saying, you know, so I, I get the, I, the, the, the. The point that's being made when it said that, investigation, investigation, investigation and no consequences. I'm sick of that as well. But being sick of it doesn't put me in a position to say, well, then I guess we'll do what. Guess we'll do what? Take it into our own hands. I'll never forget. I'll tell this story. I never told this. I've never told this story publicly. I won't go into details because this is a real case. One of my final, criminal law trials was a homicide case. And, man, I can go into facts. I remember the case just like it was yesterday. But the bottom line, there was a guy who really had a little bit of. A little man syndrome. He, the murderer was an abuser, and he lived in an apartment complex. And the neighbor across the hall from the abuser heard the. The little man abusing his girlfriend at the time. And basically the neighbor checked him, said, man, look, y', all, keep it down. I gotta go to work. Keep it down. The abuser get. Got into a, another spat with his girlfriend on a later date. And the girlfriend said something that sent the abuser off, said, well, you. You want to abuse me, but you didn't have anything to say when that man checked you the other day? Well, that sent him off. He takes his gun, goes, and then he shoots and kills the neighbor. All right, this is a re. This is, this is a real story. This really happened. And I remember because I, I was a prosecutor assigned to prosecute the Napoleon Complex dude who. The murderer.

Tim Walton: Don't allow faux testers to intimidate you into becoming vigilante

And by God's Grace, you know, the Lord's will was done. But I remember in talking to the family members, the family members of the victim of the homicide were very, very upset. Very, very upset. And the victim of the homicide had a brother, and the brother was very, very upset. And I remember I looked at the brother and said, listen, I take my cases seriously. I believe God put me in this position to secure justice. and by God's grace, we're going to prosecute this case. All right? I said, however, you. And I turned to the brother and I looked at him and I pointed at him. Say, you don't try to take vengeance into your own hands, because if you take vengeance into your own hands, you are going to put me in a position where I would have to prosecute you, just like I had to prosecute the dude who killed your brother. Don't do it. You know, I talked to him through the evidence. I say, we found him, he was arrested. We got this evidence that he is going to be held accountable. But that does not put. Justify you taking this into your own hands. And I said, and rest assured, though my, I am empathetic with you and your family. I grieve the, the senseless murder of your brother. If you take vengeance into your hands and you become a murderer, you will be prosecuted, too. I told him that. And I'm saying that in a similar sense. Don't allow these faux testers who. Showing up because they're, they're Operation Ice Floyd guys. That's literally what they're calling it in these regressive circles, these paid protesters, they're. They're calling these faux tests Operation Ice Floyd. All right? They want to gin up emotions societally and in hopes of provoking someone to become a vigilante. Don't fall for it. Don't fall for it. Protect your homes, protect yourselves, protect your churches, have your security teams, all of that, but don't allow this to cause you to become a vigilante. Because as Christ followers, we don't return evil for evil. You understand what I'm saying? Don't allow them to have that much control over you. Much of what's happening is an attempt to deflect, to reshape narratives, using these Marxist tactics to engender emotional sentiment to take the heat away from a Tim Walton. French fry is squirming because the white hot light of scrutiny has turned their way concerning criminal violations. You have this happening at the exact same time. Don't forget that, that the Somalian financial scandal bilking the American taxpayer payer out of billions of dollars is happening on these dudes. Watch. You don't think they sent out the whistle to their phone testing friends say, hey, we got to get the heat off of this. You know, we have to try to delegitimize it. We need to try to like conflate all of these issues and to make all of these issues seem like it's just one big issue and it really is just orange man bad. That's what we really need to try to do. Because the heat is on there. The heat is on there now. I agree. I'm sick of investigation and investigation and investigation, investigation and investigation and no consequences. Not because I just want this pound of flesh. No, because what happens when lawlessness abounds? When I say lawlessness, don't just think about the faux testers. Also think about the places that are supposed to provide justice, but justice never coming. Two tier justice systems, depending on what your political inclinations are, then you get prosecuted. But if you happen to be connected and you happen to have money and you happen to have these things, you don't get. The ultimate goal of all of that activity is to cause the populace to lose complete confidence and trust and faith in these systems. And what I'm saying is don't have confidence, trust and faith in the systems. Place your confidence, trust and faith in the truth of God's word is what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.

J.D. Vance and his wife expecting fourth child in July

Now with all of the chicanery and the foolishness that's going on, man, we were provided with some heartening news. So J.D. vance and his wife Usha Vance have announced that they are expecting their fourth baby, a baby boy. Usha Vance is pregnant and they expect their fourth baby to be born in July. In July, yeah. Been born in July of this year. Which you want to talk about a pro family administration. When was the last time we've heard of a president or a vice president, adding a new member to their family while they're in office? I mean that, that is something that is one great for their family. The scripture tells us that children are a blessing from the Lord. So this is another little blessing coming to their family. It's also a blessing for our nation, our nation to see tangible, demonstrate evidence of, what it looks like for families to grow. And then it's also a blessing for the world. It gives us a front and center opportunity, looking at one of the, most visible features of our federal apparatus to cause us all to stop and think about what what are we. What are we doing this for? That's right. Caroline Levitt is expecting a baby as well. the press secretary. That's right. We should, we should all seek, you know, as the founders articulated in the preamble to our Constitution, in order to form a more perfect union. The founders, that founders anticipated each generation of Americans to strive toward the betterment of our country. It gives us an opportunity to refocus on what should be a national priority. We should seek to make our country better for the next generation of Americans that are coming behind us and the ones coming behind them. And it gives us a great opportunity to, highlight that reality. And then, of course, you have despicable, you know, like under the bridge troll dwellers are trying to say things about, you know, so seeds of division between J.D. vance and his wife. And apparently they. They can't be that divided. I mean, I don't think you. You can make babies divided. I gotta have more cowbell. Well, that's what J.D. vance said, Bobby. I didn't say that. So that's a bit of good news. And congratulations to the. The vice president and his wife and man pray for our country. You know, the inescapable reality that spiritual warfare is real whether you want it to be or not. But God has showed us in his word that the weapons of our warfare, they're not carnal, but they're divinely powerful. To the destruction strongholds. The best way for us to advance forward is by taking heed to God's word and engaging from the anchor, the strong anchor that is the revelation of God through his word. By God's grace, we'll be back tomorrow. You all have a great evening.
