Hamilton Corner: God has called us to be his ambassador even in dark moments

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Darkness is not an affirmative force. It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite, delivering people

>> Abraham Hamilton III: 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 ambassador even in this dark moment. Let's not miss our moment.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: And now the Hamilton Corner.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Good evening everyone.

Hamilton Corner is attending Pennsylvania's Christian Home Educators Convention 2026

Welcome to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III is my name. Joined by the Corner contingent as, usual producer extraordinaire, the real J. Mac is here with me in Pennsylvania where we are, participating in the Christian Home Educators or homeschool association of Pennsylvania's Convention 2026. literally when we get done here, we'll be participating in the graduation for CHAPS. That's the acronym CHAPS 2026 high, school graduating class. I will be providing a keynote address to the graduates. looking forward to doing that as well as speaking at the convention. We had one session earlier today, addressing historical revisionism. The title of that presentation was Historical Revisionism has Theological and Societal Implications. I'm not going to spoil it because I know CHAP has recordings for all of the presentations, but that was exciting. I was grateful to be able to have that opportunity. We'll have several more presentations tomorrow, on the campus of Elizabethtown College in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania. So it's going to be a great time there. I guess I should mention, next we'll be at the Culture Proof conference at the Ark Encounter, in July. So that's coming up. Cultureproof, uh.net is a website to get more information about that. but 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 make your transition 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 and your engagement. As you know, it is our custom to begin every program by turning to the word of God. And I want to take some time today to do so.

Delil: We begin today's show with the Book of Judges

we're going to begin today's show in the Book of Judges. The Book of Judges is where we are going to begin. judges chapter 16. Judges chapter 16. make and I'm going to make some observations from Samson's life and I truly, truly pray, that each of you who are watching and listening, will welcome the Lord to show you whatever it is he would want to show you, particularly as it pertains to how this scripture, these verses might apply in your own lives. You know, the major reason why we begin the program with God's Word is to, ah, push against the cultural normative disposition to where we kind of use God's Word as a window dressing for life or kind of like garnish, better said, garnish for life. Instead of being central to our life and our engagement and that simply, is foolish man. that if we would read God's Word and welcome the God of His Word to read us as we navigate the text, we will be refined and continually transformed and as a result, rendered maximally, conducive to serving the Lord's purposes in our time. Judges, chapter 16, verses 18 through 20. 18 through 20. Did I put 18 in the rundown? Yeah, I did put 18 on the rundown. Put it right. Yeah. Yay. 18 through 20. Just to describe a bit of context, when you study Samson's life, the angel of the Lord, the scripture says, revealed himself to Manoah's wife. That's Samson's father's name. It doesn't give us a name for Samson's mother in the Book of Judges, but, but the angel of the Lord, or frankly the Lord conveyed to Samson's mother that in anticipation and preparation for her son, and previously she was barren, but to prepare for her son, she was to avoid strong drink, to avoid eating unclean foods. And the Lord revealed to her that the son that she would carry would be a Nazarite from, ah, conception. And that he was to avoid strong drink, to avoid touching dead things, to avoid unclean foods, and not to cut his hair. Now, the Lord conveyed all of this to Samson's parents before he'd ever even been conceived, which is amazing. And there's even a portion of the text where Manoah asked, for the Lord to send the angel of the Lord again to visit him. And he asked what, what he asked. Manoah asks the angel of the Lord, how are we, to go about raising this child and what is to be his mission? And the Lord responds to Manoah, what a great question coming from a parent. You know, who is this child that you've given me? What have you called this child to? What have you made them to be? that is something that each parent should do as the Lord blesses us with children, we should not automatically conclude that we know what they're going to be. You know, I had a similar situation with that myself. I won't belabor the whole deal, but when the Lord helped me to realize I was having a son, oh, I already. Oh, he was Abe. He was Abe IV in name and in everything. I already picked out his jersey. He was going to play basket. He's going to be everything, man. And the Lord gripped me, said, why don't you seek me as to who I made this child to be? And, you go a little faster. He's not Abe the Fourth, you know, because God had a particular calling for him, which is not to be a mini me of me, a clone of me. Surely there are lots of my qualities and characteristics and even portions of my physical features that are clearly evident in my son. same from my wife. But the Lord has ordained and created my son and all of my sons and all of my daughters to be specifically who God has ordained for them to be. To the word of God we go. Judges, chapter 16. We're going to pick up at verse 18 where we are now. Samson is with Delilah. And she had consistently, plied Samson for information. Samson, how could we hinder you? How do we cut off your. Clearly God given strength? And you think he would have woken up, right? Every time he tells her, well, this is what you got to do to stop my strength, she tries it, you think he would have said, man, maybe this, maybe Delilah ain't for me as much as I might have thought. You think that would hit him? Well, when you examine the text, you see something, that the scriptures communicated to us, if you'd pay attention. All right. In verse 18, it says this. When Delilah saw that he, Samson, had told her all his heart, she sent and called the lords of the Philistines, saying, come up again, for he has told me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hands because they paid her. All right, verse 19. She made him, Samson, sleep on her knees. And she called a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. Then she began to torment Samson, and Samson's strength left him. And she said, the Philistines are upon you, Samson. And Samson awoke from his sleep and said, I will go out as other times and shake myself free. But he did not know that the Lord had departed from him. That's one of the saddest things that could be said about a Person, it's one thing for the lord to have departed from him. Then it's another for him to be completely unaware of that. Which is a direct contrast from what was said of Samson earlier in his life. Because if you go back to chapter 13, verse 25 says, and the spirit of the Lord stirred Samson. So he went from the spirit of the Lord stirring him to now the Lord having departed from him, and he's not aware of it.

The scripture shows that Samson cultivated a life of compromise

Well, how do we get to this point? Remember what I said earlier about the things that the lord had revealed first to Samson's mother and to Manoah as to how he was to live and how he was to be raised? You can find all of this in Judges, chapter 13. You can find that Samson was called to be a Nazarite from his. From his birth, from his conception, rather. Yet the first thing Samson is recorded in the scripture is saying is, I saw a woman. The very first thing. As a result, or should I say, commensurate with his Nazarite vow, Samson was instructed to refrain from strong drink, from the fruit of divine. To refrain from touching anything dead or eating unclean things. And from cutting his hair. That Samson was instructed not to cut his hair. Well, what we know from the scripture, Judges chapter 14, after Samson identified the first philistine woman. Because Delilah wasn't his first philistine woman. Go ahead and check the record. The scripture says Samson followed it up with a major feast, where it's most evident that that included him consuming strong drink in violation of his Nazarite vow. So Samson violated the first prohibition. Refrain from strong drink. Samson did not refrain. Yet when he didn't refrain from strong drink, nothing happened to him. His strength remained intact, just as it has had always been. The next thing, do not touch anything dead. No dead things. Samson violated the second one. You'll recall one of the first feats of strength recorded in scripture that Samson performed is when a lion attacked him. He killed the lion. And the scripture even notes that he didn't even tell his parents that he killed the lion. But then when he was going to visit his first philistine woman, his first philistine bun. He saw the carcass of that lion that he killed. You remember? And that had a swarm of bees inside of that decomposing carcass. And Samson goes and touched the dead thing. First prohibition, refrain from strong drink. Samson violated it. Nothing happened. Second prohibition, don't touch dead things. Sampson violated it. Nothing happened to him. So he thought. I'm saying from his perspective. So he Thought his strength remained intact. Nothing happened. Third prohibition for Samson. Do not cut your hair, he tells Delilah. Gives it a full gambit. She has his haircut, the scripture says. And the scripture tells us what Samson's disposition was. Right in Judges 16, verse 20. What did it say? He awoke, from his sleep and said to himself, I will go out as at other times and shake myself free. See what happened, Ladies and gentlemen, what the scripture is showing us is that Samson had cultivated for himself a life of compromise. Compromise was normalized for him when he violated God's standard the first time. He didn't see any consequences to that. But what he didn't realize is that there were consequences. He had touched or experienced the forbidden thing. And did not immediately feel a, change in his natural disposition. But what he didn't realize is that he had now made himself familiar with violating God's standards. And so what the scripture shows us is there's a buildup. Because, yes, it's completely foolish for Samson to kind of tempt, fate, so to speak. Because he keeps telling Delilah how he could be hindered. And she keeps trying to hinder him, but he's not telling the truth. And so he shakes himself and goes out. But with the scripture showing us that he had normalized a lifestyle of compromise. Normalized. And he had misinterpreted God's patience with him and God's grace. How often in our lives do we cultivate lifestyles of compromise. And we end up almost like bargaining with God. You know, you face the crisis, Lord, if you could just get me out of this jam, I'll never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. And the normalization of compromise Puts us in a position where we could end up just like Samson. Not realizing that this normalized, compromised life, this normalized life of compromise has caused us to be crossways with God, and we don't even realize it. It. The whole purpose and thrust of this communication today is if you recognize as I'm speaking and you're listening to me. But I pray that you're listening to the Lord beyond the words that I say. That if you, are living in a compromised state, come out from among them now. Don't delay. Because you could be very similar to Samson. Think, well, I'm just going to keep going on the way that I have been going on. And not realize God is gracious and he's merciful. But there comes a time to where we've exhausted that reality. And consequences are on the other side.

Abraham Hamilton III discusses Jesse Ridgeway case on The Hamilton Corner

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here. and things just keep getting worse in this, Jesse Ridgeway case. I'll, I'll say you don't get any worse than a father and a mother electing to, to, to murder their unborn child. but what I mean is it gets worse for Jesse Ridgeway. some of you may be familiar with it. I discussed this last week a little bit. Jesse, Ridgeway is the YouTuber who's also an actor by the way. He and his wife and they made content monetized content monetized content announcing their, the pregnancy, with their little boy. And they're the ones who say there's a little boy. And then they're the one who said due to a potential trisomy 21 diagnosis, which is the diagnosis for down syndrome potential again, that they made the decision to murder their, their, their son. And Jesse Ridgeway tried to present himself as if he was the victim. You know, it's like, nah, bro, you're not the victim, your dead son is. And I, and I, I did a, you know, I discussed quite a bit that really the sociopathic disposition to say that, in order to alleviate potential future pain in your life, son will just murder you. Now, like, I, I know, I know strikes you in a provocative manner when I say it that way. But that's literally what they did to, to spare you pain. And this is again to spare you potential pain later, son, and potential difficulties for your mom and I, we just decided we'll just murder you now. Guys. That is, that is, that is ghastly. I also shared, and this came from a man who had also put on social media, that he had a dog who the recommendations would be to, you know, put the dog down because the dog can't live without one of his vital organs. But he talked glowingly about how his dog was one of the few fighting against the odds. Like, yo, you're willing to celebrate your dog fighting the odds health wise and not even your own son. That, that. That still. That still rubs me, you know, and it still bothers me tremendously.

Jeff Boston: Jesse Ridgeway mocked a person with down syndrome nine years ago

Well, as I mentioned to you, Jesse Ridgeway, the YouTuber, you know, guys, the Internet. The Internet, you think you can delete stuff from the Internet, but it's going to pop back up. It turns out that Jesse Ridgeway did a, ah, skit. That's what you call it, Jeff, a skit nine years ago. and I want to. I guess. I don't. Guess I need to preface this because I'm about. I'm about to play a short clip of the skit. but I want to warn you, this could be, stirring or offensive to some because Jesse Ridgway is mocking a person with down syndrome in this kit. Now, this is nine years ago, and I want you to watch this and listen to this. And I want you to ask yourself, is this an accurate depiction of what Jesse Ridgeway may think, feel and believe about people who have down syndrome? Or is it just entertainment? You know, is he just acting? Right. for those of you who this might be, you know, unnecessarily provocative to. I'm gonna ask you to just to step away for a moment, because I think it's important for you to actually see it with your own eyes and hear with your own ears what he really thinks. And especially when he ends up being rebuked by people on social media for his ghastly disposition of his willingness to. Not willingness. His execution of his own son because of a potential diagnosis of down syndrome. One person asked him online, well, what if your parents had aborted you? You know what he said? Jesse Ridgeway said in response, well, I'm normal is what he said. I'm normal. So in that reply, he's revealing that he doesn't view people who might have down syndrome as normal people. That is very telling in my estimation. in case you need me to explain it further, people who have disabilities of whatever sort, then they're normal people. They're people who have these particular. Special abilities. These particular abilities. That's it. That's it. And I'm not, guys. It's just amazing. Like m. Among my children, I have a child that has a genetic abnormality. Still my child. It's just wild to see just how callous we've become as a society, that we've lost the plot in many ways. I'm not saying every single person, but I'm saying, the thrust of our society that we've lost an understanding of what it means the Lord says, greater love has no man than this to sacrifice himself for his friends. As fathers, our call is to live in such a way to where we demonstrate on a regular basis our willingness to lay our lives down first for our wives. That's what Ephesians 5 says. Husbands, love your wives. As Christ loved the church and gave himself for her, so self sacrifice for a husband is like breathing to a human. That's what we do. And we don't do so grudgingly. We do so glorying in what God has blessed us with and the opportunity to serve in this fashion. And then when the Lord, expands our territory by adding arrows to our quiver to where we. We are now able and giving the opportunity to. To live self sacrificially for our children. This is what we do. But listen to and watch this brief clip from the skit Jesse Ridgeway did nine years ago. And you tell or not, you think it reveals his true heart condition concerning people, who have particular abilities. Clip number five. Clip five, go. I What the is you doing, dude? I'm on fingers in his mirror. This is Friday's break. yes. Come on. I My name is Danny D. I D this. I am playing Chucky Cheese now. Can I play Chuck E. Cheese? Come on, snap your fingers. That's Jesse Ridgeway, y'. All. Does that change your perception of his comments? Does that, bolster your position? Guys, we, as a society man, We have lost a proper estimation for life in our society. And it shouldn't be a surprise. and honestly, I'm not surprised by it, but it still strikes me, not because I'm surprised, but just how inhumane and, frankly, ungodly it is. We got a story I'm gonna get to in a moment. Like, you had two children, a brother and a sister in Boston, like, just set up a lemonade stand, and then you got two other children who robbed him at gunpoint from a lemonade stand. this is wild, man. We've gone. We've. We've. We've inundated generations of Americans with this Darwinian slop. Guys, that's why if. If you don't think survival of the fittest ethos drummed into the heads and hearts of American children for generations. If you don't think that has an impact, I don't know what to tell you. But you have people who have been taught that, you know, that if you're weak, you deserve to be consumed. And we have people living that out. There's a little baby with a potential trisomy 21 diagnosis, you're weak. And so because I'm bigger, I'm stronger. I have the ability to, rid my life of any particular. Any potential inconvenience or discomfort or even pain. I'll just preemptively murder you. The 11 and 12 year old brother and sister selling, trying to sell lemonade, investing themselves in an entrepreneurial way. You know, you have some other little children, but they have guns, you see. Well, you're weak. So give me your lemonade money. Let me keep going. I'm gonna get up. M. Don't let me forget to get to the lemonade story.

There has been a seismic seismic shift in the scientific world pertaining to climate science

But I want to get into some other things before I go there, where I'm gonna go next. And this is a bit technically a bit technical and specific, but I'm gonna try my best to Communicated conversationally to you. There has been a seismic seismic shift in the scientific world pertaining especially to climate science. And shout out to my friends at the Cornwall Alliance, Dr. Cal Beisner, because they help helped me to come across this particular find. Well, there's a climate scientist named Roger Pilkey Jr. He's one among several who have been kind of sounding the alarm on this, model, I think is the best way to describe it, or prediction. And it's referred to as RCP 8.5 and that stands for representative concentration pathway. All right, what the representation representative, I'm sorry, with the representative concentration pathway. 8.5 was, was one of several prediction models as it pertained to climate science. And what RPC 8.5 was, was the most extreme prediction. You know, it's the one the planet is going to be doomed. And all these things which led to the rise of Greta Thunberg and the rise of all of these articles and then journalistic presentations and things are saying, oh, that really frankly just fed the climate alarmism. All right, it fed the climate alarmism and it spread throughout our entire world. Well, this RCP 8.5, which led to the IPCC, which is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which is the basically the official body, the main artery or the main entity, if you will, that informs climate policy. So even if you don't know the technical language surrounding this, we've all been touched by it to various degrees. Well, well, wouldn't you know that the science body, the scientific bodies that evaluate these things have now determined that RCP 8.5 and its successor, SSP 58.5, they've now been formally classified as implausible, meaning that they're predicting a world that frankly is not possible scientifically. You hear what I'm saying? So in spite of the thousands upon thousands of articles that have been written and textbooks that have been written and hours instructing children that you need to be concerned about the climate because the planet is doomed, that entire model has now been determined by the same body that presented it initially to the world. They're now saying that, oh by the way, that prediction is implausible, which means it's impossible. So you had all of this fervor up around something that now the scientific community is saying, oh, you know what, nevermind. Listen to and watch Roger Pilkey discuss this in clip number four. Clip four, go.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: So one thing for people to understand is this is nerdy stuff and you know, you don't expect the President of the United States to be tweeting about a climate scenario. But literally, as you say, this scenario, which when I say scenario it has ah, assumptions about how many people will be on the planet, how big will our economy be, what type of energy sources will we use, how will we consume that energy. Those feed into climate models, that then project how temperatures will change and precipitation and storms and so on. it also, it turns out that these scenarios fed into policy and regulations in ensuring in central banks, they do their stress testing for capital reserves, for example. it's not an exaggeration to say pretty much everybody on the planet, whether they know it or not, is impacted by these scenarios. these scenarios ah, got old and out of date and that's a big problem. Climate research takes a long time to do. About 20 years ago these scenarios were created to inform climate research. But they escaped the Science Guard and they got out into the real world, where they have had huge impact. And it turns out that the most extreme scenario that was used became centered, it became the most important scenario. And based on research by many people, I'll single out Justin Ritchie from Canada. it was discovered that these scenarios were flawed.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Did y' all hear that? So this RCP 8.5, I'm gonna give you again what it is. This Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 is responsible for establishing all kinds of policies, you know, the kind of top down control over production and consumption and individual choice that we would have probably diagnosed years ago saying yeah, that's Marxist, that's socialism. It is what led to you know, mandated vehicle eliminations and the forced closure pass, power plants and prohibitions on, on gas stoves and gas Appliances, trillion dollar transition programs to get away from fossil fuels and all of these things. All of that was justified by this RCP 8.5. And now the scientific community is saying, by the way, this RCP 8.5 is an implausible model. Implausible, which is scientific speak for that ain't possible. All of it was built on a prediction of a world that cannot and will not exist.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: You can hear amazing things on American Family Radio.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Doug Cobb's finishing fund is working to bring the gospel to those remaining tribes and tongues in the who haven't yet reached the gospel. how close are we to that goal? We are within a handful of people

>> Mark Wayne Mullin: groups, as he described them, all over the world. So literally within a matter of months or very few years.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: This clip shows just how close we may be to Christ's second coming. And it also highlights the importance of ministries like AFA and afr. Thank you for listening.

The entire basis for climate alarmism has been ruled as implausible

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here. Just to kind of reiterate this, and yes, you heard me right, that the, that the entire basis for climate alarmism, the climate alarmism that has gripped our nation, frankly, has just been ruled by the scientific community to be the same body that contributed to ipcc, that is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. They've now determined that the representative concentration pathway 8.5 and its successor SSP5. 8.5 are implausible. And you know, one of the most, grieving components of this is think about all of the children who basically who have been scared by textbooks and news articles and like, like there would be no Greta Thunberg if, if Greta Thunberg, I guess, as you pronounce her name, if she would exist, but she wouldn't be popular for. How dare you. You know what I mean? And all of the children who have been whipped into a fear frenzy because of this stuff, not to mention the political fallout, I mean, we have on both sides of the aisle, but most prominently in the Democrat Party, that they've made fighting climate change a central plank of their political platform. How do you think that would have been impacted if this alarmist prediction model had never been normal or at a minimum had been responsive to the challenges and the holes that were poked in it? early on? You know, nine years ago you had people. Roger Pielke Jr. Pointed is one of them. He pointed to the gentleman from Canada who also showed by the way, guys, you do realize this is flawed. There are errors in this model, and they did so at great cost to their professional reputation, not to mention, their earning capacities being impacted by this. And now they've been vindicated. Do you think we're going to see these textbook writers say, hey, you know what? We were wrong? That the entire model of this, the model that the textbook's thesis is built upon is it's impossible. It's predicting the world that cannot exist. You think they're gonna have an about face? What about all of the television shows, you know, who even said things like conservatives mock climate change? You think they're gonna apologize? You think they're gonna. What do you think this is? Why M. I say, guys, that we have to stand on God's word? Because the scripture teaches us that the Earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and we who dwell therein. God has created mankind to exercise dominion over the Lord's world. The exercise of that dominion is not disastrous for the planet. We want to operate wisely. We want to operate with prudence. We want to operate, with knowledge. But the alarmist predictions have been proven false all across the board. And here's another one. And I know this is a Friday, and this will probably get buried. you know, there won't be very many news stories about it, but I just wanted you to know that the planet predictions that all of the alarmism was based upon, it's been deemed by the scientific community as implausible.

About 450,000 illegal alien children went missing under the Biden administration

All right, now I want to move to a story. former Senator Mark Wayne Mullin from Oklahoma, who's now the secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, held a press conference in which, and during which he announced that, you remember, those children, the illegal alien children who just went missing under the Biden administration, and initial numbers was 300,000 children. Well, the numbers are far more than that. It's approaching half a million. About 450,000 some odd children were missing. Just missing. Just missing. And anybody looking for him? M. No. No, not really. Had a change in administrations. And now Secretary Mark Wayne Mullin has come out and he's explained that 146,000, 146,000 of those missing children, Children we're talking about, these are children who were traveling to the United States, to the United States of America without their parents. All right? Basically being passed along through coyotes and others. And I can't imagine the horrors that many of them endured. And you're going to hear Secretary Mullin talk about some of the horrors. in a moment, because I'm going to play a clip for you. But 146,000 of the children have been found. And you want to guess where many of them, if not most of them, were found? Listen to and watch clip number three. Clip three, go.

>> Mark Wayne Mullin: Because when we start digging into these cases and you start hearing the absolute, horrific things that took place underneath the Biden administration under true neglect at best and criminal at worst, to allow 450,000 kids to go missing throughout this country. President Trump has made it a point to go find these kids because of our partnership with, HHS and doj, Department of Homeland Security, truly using the best. The best, which the Democrats sometimes want to demonize, because a lot of times. This is ice, this is hsi, this is cbp. These individuals that the Democrats seem to want to defund, but because of President Trump, we finally funded them for three years, were able to push and go find these kids. We found 146,000 kids so far. 146,000 kids. We still have nearly 300,000 missing. we're investigating reports to where some of these kids claim that they were raped six to seven hundred times. I don't care who you are. I don't care if you have kids, if you don't have kids. I don't care if you're liberal, you're independent, you're a Democrat, you're Republican. If you can't stand for law enforcement to go find these kids, who are you? Who are you? Every leader should understand what's going on. And do you know, we're finding the most of them sanctuary cities.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: That's wild. That's wild. I want to be clear about something he said. Secretary Mullin said that they're investigating claims by some of the children that they've been raped six to seven hundred times. They're investigating that. even to have that as a claim that's being made, though. And you want to talk about the gross underside of a sanctuary city policy. Did you hear when he said that the majority of the children that they found. 146,000 children that they found so far, and they're looking to find another 300,000 that the majority of the children that they found, they found them in sanctuary cities. I wonder why they're finding them in sanctuary cities. Anybody want to try to. Want to. Want to take a shot at why that might be the case? Guys, this makes my stomach turn. This makes my stomach turn. Having m prosecuted cases like this and the cases that stick with me More than any, and I've said this before, are the cases where children have been abused sexually. And to have the situation where the recklessness of our border policy has contributed, to children being abused like this is unconscionable to me. And I understand there's some who would say, well, Abe, can you imagine what the conditions must have been, where the children came from, for their parents to be willing to send them to the United States of America by themselves? and I understand that. But the United States of America is not the world's charity. It's just not. There are people that are suffering all over the world, and we do not have an obligation as a country to be the world's charity. And we also would be naive not to recognize that there are people who would want to pervert American compassion to move us to be the world's charity because their objectives are absolutely nefarious. They don't care about those children. And one of the major evidences of that fact is this, that it was the Biden administration that opened our southern border the way that it was open during his administration that gave rise to the missing nearly half a million children. And they lifted nary a finger to try to find these children. So they were willing, for the sake of their political agenda, and I would say socio political agenda, to allow these children to be casualties of socio political war. Gosh, that's sickening to me. I, praise God that the 146,000 that have been found to date have been found. Thank the Lord for that. And I pray that the remaining children are located. And this shows why it's such a, such a dangerous game to play politics with things like ice, because ICE was involved in finding the children. You know, Customs and Border Protection was involved in finding the missing children. If we can't put politics aside for anything, shouldn't we be able to put politics aside to try to find children that's missing?

David Byrne and his sister were robbed at their Boston lemonade stand

While we're speaking of children, I'm going to go a bit domestic. in Boston, I alluded to this already during the show where you have an 11 and 12 year old brother and sister who opened a lemonade stand and they're trying to sell lemonade in Boston, but they get robbed. That they get robbed and one of the robbers has a gun that the children were basically threatened with. Listen to and watch clip number six. Clip six go.

>> Speaker E: Just one day after having a gun pulled on him and his little sister at their lemonade stand, 12 year old David Byrne and these young entrepreneurs are going back to Business at the very same spot where it happened. They're determined not to live in fear.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: My sister, she put her hands up and I just said you could have it. But after that I just was like a little annoyed because we were 12 and 11 and you shouldn't really do that.

>> Speaker E: New video shows the mass juvenile suspects who police say robbed David and his 11 year old sister at their lemonade stand along West 9th and East Streets. Police say the suspects first said they had no money. Asked about Apple Pay before snatching the kids cash chest. We first shared their dad's outrage last night.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: It's outrageous that in such a good community that we can have something like this happen. I think we need some more presence around in order for this to never happen again. 12 year old David and his little 11 year old sister trying to sell lemonade man. And according to the reports the, the person who robbed them, the persons who robbed them were also minors who initially said they didn't have any cash to buy the lemonade. Could the children take Apple Pay or anything like that. And then basically they just came and said nah, you just gotta give us the money. The children had about $50 in cash, in a little cash box. The cash box was found nearby and was empty after the thing took place. I know that there are terrible things that happen in all kinds of ways and many different sectors of our society but I'm m saying these, these are things that, that, that are indicative of cultural shifts, you know what I'm saying? Like yesterday I was talking about the penchant for you know, just kind of a tribalistic fidelity regardless of objective facts. And today I'm talking about a 12 and an 11 year old. Can't even have a lemonade stand. But thankfully the community is rallying around these children and I think one of the most important lessons for these children is that they don't allow the rogue actions of a few. I'm talking about the David Byrne and his sister trying to sell lemonade that they don't allow the rogue actions of the criminals to dissuade them from pursuing the entrepreneurial ends that, that they were pursuing. And I'm grateful that the community is rallying around them to kind of help them to overcome that. It's like when you ride in a bike and you fall, don't let the scraped knee keep you from learning how to pedal man. You got to learn how to pedal so that the one fallen, the one scraped knee doesn't keep you from being a bike rider for the rest of your life. Because something like that has the potential to cause these children to embrace fear. But I pray that the family and the community will rally around them to prohibit that, to prohibit that from happening in their lives. The views and opinions expressed in this
