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. And now the Hamilton Corner.

Welcome to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. 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, my man, 100 grand. And united States military veteran, retired. He said, throw that in there. Air Force, to be exact, none other than Mr. Bobby. And in the screening room, produce extraordinaire. Often imitated, never duplicated. Racking up frequent flyer miles. Produce extraordinaire. The real J. Mac. Ladies and gentlemen, we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program. At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you, are making your transition from your part time jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs where you cultivate an outcome. And as you do so, I want to remind you to do so with intentionality, understanding the primacy that God places on family and welcoming his view to guide, govern and guard your view and that you engage from the perspective of the one who created us. It is wise when we seek to understand how anything works, that we seek the instruction manual, the manufacturer's instruction manual. It's no different in navigating life. Now today's program is a unique one in that this is, we are living in at this very moment, a pivotal point in world history. the things that are transpiring. And we're going to get into this as the show goes on. over the weekend, Operation Epic Fury was unleashed by the United States of America working in coordination with Israel. And we'll get into that. one of the things that you're going to hear shared that Iran, had a navy and they had ships in that navy and they had 11 ships in particular in the Gulf of Oman, which for those who may not be familiar with international geography is, just outside of the Straits of Hormuz where the Iranians would saber rattle and threaten for quite some time. You better do what we say or we'll shut down the Straits. We'll shut down the Straits. They ain't shutting down those straits no more. Seems like those who threatened to shut down the Straits have been shut down. And as, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said this morning in his joint press conference with chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Chiefs of Staff John Daniel, General John Daniel Raisin Cain, those who chanted death to America and death to Israel seemingly have received death from America and death from Israel. And, I don't say that casually at all. I've been sharing on this show people like Masi Alinejad and others saying that the world should not tolerate ISIS at international governing bodies like, at the UN and you guys may recall when I played her words and she said the UN Is a joke because y' all let killers walk around here. Some of them got Gucci bags in all of this. We need to envision an Iran without the Ayatollah Khomeini. Well, ma', am, it seems that your, your plea was heard. Your plea was heard. But before we get to any of that, we must always, but especially in times like this, we must go to the word of God.

David Frum: We have the most robust military capabilities in the world

Because while we are seeing these things transpire, and I'm going to share some information that once again, just affirms for the entire world that the United States military is the finest fighting force in the world. That is not an arguable notion. We have the most robust military capabilities in the entire world. But we also need to be mindful that a war horse is a false hope for salvation. And we need to understand that even though we have the most robust fighting force in the world, blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. And we must never forget that there was a time when had a nation called Egypt that said we are the most robust fighting force in the world. But y' all know how the book of Exodus explained that to the Word of God, we go. Psalm chapter 33 is where we're gonna go today. Psalm 33. And I truly offer this to you as a brother in the faith and, yes, as a sober reminder that we need to understand that, caution, reverence for God and for those of us who are members of the Lord's eternal family. We must not approach this moment as casual spectators and kind of newsies and hot take people that all of a sudden we're experts on all kind of geopolitical events. We need to approach this as the people of God and be the hands and feet of Jesus in the midst of this. And it is the same Jesus who, as the Apostle Paul articulated in Romans 13, that God's ordained minister of justice did not bear and does not bear the sword in vain. So don't get it twisted. God is no pacifist. All right? But we need to understand, really, where we should stand in light of all of what's happening. So, Psalm 33, and this is a prudent. A, prudent reminder. Psalm 33, verse 10. Psalm 33, verse 10. And the scripture says this. The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He frustrates the plans of the people. Peoples. The counsel of the Lord stands forever the plans of his heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage. The Lord looks down from heaven. He sees all the children of men from where he sits enthroned. He looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth. He who fashions the hearts of them all and observes all their deeds. The king is not saved by his great army. A warrior is not delivered by his great strength. The war horse is a false hope for salvation, and by its great might it cannot rescue. I've explained before this Psalm. Psalm 33 comes after David is promised the throne forever, as is recorded in 1st Chronicles 17. It is appropriate to, as is commonly discussed, to seek peace through strength. It is. I am heartened by the fact that we have in the United States of America, the most robust fighting force in the world. However, my hope. My hope does not rest in our military capabilities. And I want to say, nor should your hope rest in that. I. I am grateful that we have the capabilities. And frankly, that homicidal maniacs do not have that capabilities have that capability. Jihadists who've been sanitized for geopolitical interactions like the Ayatollah Khomeini. I'm grateful that the one who has been chanting death to America for the last four plus decades has not had the capabilities that we have. But we in our country must never forget. We must never forget. Our national genesis flows from the most potent global fighting force at the time during the revolutionary era, when no one thought these colonists had a chance. No one thought that. Yet, just as we saw in 1st Samuel, chapter 17, Goliath hit the dirt. Red coats under King George go down. This is why I'm saying we know that our national history echoes that reality. Okay? So the source of our confidence and our hope should never be in the war horse, so to speak. This is why I've been banging that drum, and I'm going to keep banging this drum that our founders anticipated. Subsequent generations of Americans who understood that the only way this constitutional republican experiment in individual liberty is going to persist is if we have a self governed populace, where would that self governed populace germinate from? It's going to be, it's going to come because it's a fruit of the spirit called self control. Where how does the cell, how does the fruit of the spirit get developed in the people? Because a people are regenerate, because the people are born again. If you do not have a born again people who are self controlled, this experiment of self governance will inevitably fall. We must never forget that. We cannot afford to get lost in the source of our material prosperity and our m military capabilities and us being the fulcrum of, of innovation in the world. We cannot guys. We cannot. It is to our own peril we get to that place. It's re, it's reflected throughout biblical history. It's reflected throughout contemporary history. As I stated, we're about to celebrate our 250th anniversary of our declaration. Where these colonists and farmers have the audacity to pledge their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to inform King George of his moral violations, his incursions and intrusions on the inalienable rights of image bearers. We have to remember that guys. We have to remember that we should approach, we should approach this time in world history. And I mean this, this is a consequential point in history. We're very early on in the fallout and I should say the prosecution of Operation Epic Fury. For anybody to say they know for a fact how this is going to fall out, they are naive. You can state your fact based optimism, you can state objective things that has transpired that we have information to support. But to say that you know for a fact what is going to happen would be a fool's errand. One of the things that I am prayerfully considering is what happens next. Now I believe that our leadership and our nation have thought through these things. I believe they have plans for contingencies and things of that nature. I believe that. But for anybody to say they know for a fact what is going to happen, that's not true. That's not true. What will ascend post Khomeini in Iran? That's a legitimate question. Now again, I'll tell you, I'm not afraid of the answer to that question. But primarily I'm not afraid because as our elder used to sing in our church. Whose report do you believe? My hope is in the Lord God Almighty and secondarily I'm grateful to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave. But these are legitimate questions that should be asked.

Hamilton: Iran is an Islamic authoritarian dictatorship. They call it republic

But when you consider this, Psalm 33:10. The Lord brings the etah is the Hebrew word, the council of the nations to nothing. To nothing. Do you understand that? The Lord brings the council of the nations to nothing. I think about the fact that with the. This Islamic, this. They call it republic. They ain't a republic. This is an Islamic authoritarian dictatorship. These people. And some would say they're insane. I would say that they're demonically insane. I'm going to talk later about some of the things that the president was attempting to negotiate with them, for them to reject that. Only a fool will reject some of this stuff. But you cannot underestimate. Those are demonically inspired, murderously inspired to their own detriment. The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. We should seek. Yes, prayer for our nation, prayer for our leaders, prayer for the innocent Iranian people. We also need to be mindful and prayerful about the fact that the nation of Iran probably has about 10, if not 15 of the national populace that's just as homicidal as the Ayatollah. You understand what I'm saying? And so how many of them will weave in with the peaceful protesting crowd, if you will? Again, this is a precarious time. And should this go in the way that is favorable to freedom and will honor the Lord, President Trump could very well go down as one of the most consequential presidents in the history of our nation. A discipleship minute with Joseph Parker. You can read the Word of God, but not hear the Word of God. You can hear the Word of God, but not obey it. You can believe the Word of God, but not pray it. The written Word of God is a book of faith. From Genesis to Revelation, we are called to hear, believe and obey the Word of God. If we hear the Word of God but don't obey it, we deceive ourselves. As James, chapter one, verse 22, tells us, the Word of God is a book of truth. Yet truth is always meant to be learned and applied. We are to read the Word of God and act like it's true, because, of course, it is true. Let's be wise enough to take our sword, the powerful Word of God, into battle every single day. And let's be wise enough to use the Word of God strategically, skillfully and aggressively,

Abraham Hamilton III: Operation Epic Fury launched in coordination with Israel

Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here. As I mentioned in the first segment this, this weekend, Operation X, Operation Epic Fury was launched by the United States of America, in coordination with Israel. And, before I get into a lot of the factual details and some of the things that contributed to the buildup and all of that stuff, it's been reported and confirmed that as of the time that I'm speaking with you, in the last reports that I have seen that there have been six US service members who have died, in service, died in duty or passed away. there's been another 18 who've been injured. and I just want to share my condolences, for those, military members who paid the ultimate price, gave the ultimate sacrifice. it's not lost on me, and it should not be lost on. On you either, that these are real people who have real families, who are made in. In the image of God and have real souls. we have some information and some details. Not. Not a lot of details, at this juncture, but, we. We should never forget that these things are not just news items, not just talking points. These are very, very real people. And we have some of the bravest soldiers, we have the bravest soldiers in the world who put their lives in harm's way in order to execute the, instructions given to them by our commander in chief of our armed forces. So, I don't want to get so far down into the conversation about what's transpiring that we fail to reflect on that as a reality which should. And I know it is, Secretary Pete Hegseth said this this morning. President Trump said it in his speech, Saturday morning, that the people who actually fight our wars are those who are at the forefront of their minds and hearts as we make the various plans and implement the various plans. And so I wanted to take a few moments, to say that as well, with that operation, Epic Fury. And it's very, very remarkable to me, and honestly, it's vomit inducing to see how so many people talking heads in the media and politicians look for opportunities to repeatedly twist and turn and say that we. We have no idea what the objectives are, what. What. What are the. What are. What are the plans? And when the truth is repeatedly. Secretary. So this morning. Let me. Let me take a few steps back. This morning, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. And for those who may not be aware, Pete Hegseth moved to change the name of the Defense Department from the Defense Department to the War Department because he wanted the description of the department to reflect a new mindset, that we're not merely playing Defense, but that we are willing to be affirmative when necessary to advance the cause and the purposes of the United States of America and to, protect America's interests and our freedoms around the world. So Secretary of War Pete Hegseth did a joint press conference this morning with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General, Dan Raisin King. And he stated clearly. And I'm gonna play this now because I want you guys to be informed. If you listen to and watch this show, when people say, I wonder, what is the purpose? What are our goals? What are our objectives? I want you to hear directly from our administration's personnel what the objectives are, because he said it very plainly. Now, if you don't like the objectives, that's different. If you disagree with the objectives, that's different. But for people to say that we have no idea why we're doing it, that's just a lie. And, I'm sick of it. I'm really, really, really sick of it. So for this audience and this crew, I want to make sure you understand with clarity what our administration has said to date. Now, if you develop opinions that you find that's not prudent, you don't like it, that's fine. But I don't want you to be in a position where you are in the. Among the ranks of the people who say, I have no idea why we're doing what we're doing.

General Dan Kane explains Operation Epic Fury's objective and other facts

So to start, I want to, I just have a clip from this morning's press conference. The speaker in this clip is going to be General Dan Kane as he explains Operation Epic Fury's objective and some other facts surrounding the operation. It is clip number four. Clip four. Go.

>> Speaker C: But as the Secretary said, this is major combat operations. So let me talk about the preparation and the planning. On February 28, the full strength of America's armed forces came together in a unified purpose against a capable and determined adversary. The United States Army, Navy, Marine Core, Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard and our reserve components integrated across our combatant commands and began coordinated operations with the Israeli armed forces of an unprecedented scale. As the Secretary laid out, our military objectives are clear. Our mission is to protect and defend ourselves and together, with our regional partners, prevention Iran. From the ability to project power outside of its borders and be ready for follow on actions as appropriate. Across every domain, land, air, sea, cyber. The U.S. joint Force delivered synchronized and layered effects designed to disrupt, degrade, deny and destroy Iran's ability to conduct and sustain combat operations. On the US Side, this marked the culmination of Months and in some cases years of deliberate planning and refinement against this particular target set. From precision strikes against key military infrastructure to persistent intelligence and targeting integration to the close coordination of the components across vast distances, this operation again demonstrated America's reach, readiness and professionalism and that of our joint united force. It was historic, not only in the operational scope but in the level of joint integration displayed across every element of the joint force. And as I said earlier, this work is just beginning and will continue.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Now General Kaine said very plainly, and I'm going to quote for you and say it very slowly, the objectives of this operation are, quote, I'm gonna say real slowly because I know I talk fast sometimes, I'll say it real slowly. The objectives of this operation are, quote, to prevent Iran from the, from having the ability to project power outside of its borders. Did everybody hear that? Did everybody hear that? Bobby, did you hear that? Do I need to play it again for the people? So I need Everybody at Lyon, CNN and I can't say MSNBC anymore, MSNBCnow and M. The NPR's and all these other. The objectives here. And I stated the first part. Prevent Iran from the ability to project power outside of its borders. And General Kane said to be ready for follow on operations as necessary. So do you understand what that means? So objective number one, prevent Iran from the ability to project power outside of his borders. When he says power guys, he's talking about military murdering power. The ability to kill people outside of Iran. All right? And to be ready for any follow on operations, meaning any retaliations that Iran might try. We got we need to be ready for that. Now again you can disagree with that as an objective. You can say we don't need to have that as a, as an objective. You can say I don't think that should be the objective. But you cannot say you are unaware of what the objectives are. You hear me? Congress members, Senator Jean Shaheen for NewSong Hampshire. She's on TV talking about, I have no idea what we're doing. And she came on TV right after Dan Cain said this on tv. Now let's take a few steps back. And this is some of the ugliness, some of the, some of the sausage making that people don't want to look at. Why is it important to keep Iran from having the ability to project power outside of its borders? And this is why having these conversations about Islam is a religion of peace. That's a lie. When you, when you have, when you have. Now let me be clear. You have some people who profess to be Muslims who are peaceful, but that doesn't make their religion a religion of peace. The entire thrust of the Iranian republic, they call it a republic. It's not a republic. The Iranian autocracy has been a demonically inspired apocalyptic view of the world. What you guys have to understand, what we need to understand when we repeatedly state that Iran, and the Ayatollah in particular, would gather people in the, in the town square and lead chance of death to America, he described America as the Great Satan. As much as we know they wanted to pop firecrackers all about Israel, they wanted to pop them off at America more than Israel. But we have to go deeper. Why? Because it is a part of their demonically inspired theological vision of the world. They believe that they must bathe the planet in blood in order to have the eschaton that they believe in. And this is why we as a society do ourselves no favors by refusing to discuss what these people actually believe. We do ourselves no favors in being ignorant as to what the Islamic Ayatollah's regime's Shia theology believes. Let me give you an example. So we know Operation Midnight Hammer, the bunker busters, the B2S, severely crippled the Iranian's capacity concerning their pursuit of a nuclear weapon. But did you think that stopped their desire for one, their willingness to work toward one? For years prior to actually gaining uranium and enriching uranium, their commitment has been to build up a conventional military arsenal, basically so they could punk their neighbors and anybody else who would dare try to stop their nuclear weapon ambitions by popping off conventional weapons.

The United States offered the Iranians free nuclear energy for life

So one of the things, and this is not public publicly discussed very often, but I had the privilege of getting a little bit of inside information for some people that for the sake of purposes, I can't share this. Now, when President Trump, most recently as the fleet. You guys remember we talked about the buildup of, of, of naval ships that were going toward the Middle east. And we talked about that. Bob, you remember that we had the conversation on the show while we are endeavoring to negotiate with the Iranians, one thing that's, that's, that's, again, this is just true. You can disagree with it, you can dislike it, but President Trump is not a man who favors war, certainly not protracted wars and strikes. And I'm just sharing this information just so you can have this information. I'm not saying this to say that this is good, this is bad. I'm just sharing this information. As they were negotiating. This is just one of the things I want you to be aware of. Because all along the Iranians would say to the world, oh, no, we. We have a right for civilian pursuits of nuclear energy. Oh, no, we just. We just want to use nuclear energy is a benefit to us for civilian purposes. We're not trying to kill nobody. While at the exact same time, death to America. Death to Israel. Nah, nah, we not really want the death to America. Death to Israel. So one of the things that the United States offered to the Iranians, and think about this, guys, offer the Iranians free nuclear energy for life. Free nuclear energy for life. All they had to do was to abandon their ballistic missile program and their pursuit to reestablish their military capacities. The United States of America offered them free nuclear energy. Now, here's the thing. Nuclear energy used for civilian purposes is certainly uranium based, but it's only enriched to a very low stage. 3%, maybe 5% enrichment. When you get to 60% plus enrichment. And Bobby, correct me if I'm wrong here, that is where you have the nuclear capacity to be used for weapons and warheads. All right? Imagine if you are the Iranian government and you have an offer from the United States of America to provide you free nuclear energy for the rest of your nation's existence. And guess what? The Iranians did. This is why I said, when I walked in the studio, I told Bobby said, these Iranians are insane and they are demonically insane. M. Look what they said to President Trump's representatives. No, thank you. Now, ask yourself. Ask yourself this question. If you have an offer from the United States of America for free nuclear energy for life, and all you got to do is put down your firecrackers. You don't think if you are a sane populist, that you take that? No. You know what the Iranians said? No, we don't. No deal. You know why they said no deal, guys? Because the. The demonically inspired theocratic autocratic regime in Iran, they believe they must bathe the world in blood, that the infidels must die, have a dedication, a transcendent mission that.

>> Speaker C: That.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: That is above and beyond rationality to kill infidels. So they were unwilling to have free nuclear energy for life because they want. Now I have to say this allegedly, because these reports have not been made public. You see what I'm saying? It's very similar. Do you. Do you remember in. In Sodom and Gomorrah when. When the mob was surrounding Lot's house and the angels struck the Sodomites with blindness, do you remember what the Sodomites did thereafter. Having just been struck with blindness. You remember what they did? The Bible says that they groped in blindness still trying to find their way to lot's door. You understand what I'm telling you guys, that is not rationality. That is pure evil. And what I am telling you what I am telling you this Islamic regime of thugs, they were, you know, I guess man gotta run out of time. In the next segments I'll talk about why they were murderously, demonically inspired for nothing but evil. That's why they'll say to an offer a free nuclear fuel for life. They'll say, no thank you. We'd rather continue trying to reconstruct our program to build long range ballistic missiles. To which you ask the question why are you trying to build long range ballistic missiles? Probably having something to do with death to who and death to who that they wanted to. Still trying to. I'm just sharing that with you to give you a bit of insight as to the extent of the type of negotiations that preceded kinetic operations in Iran.

The Hamilton quarter podcast and one minute commentaries are available at afr.net back to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio.

Abraham Hamilton III: According to reports, it was one strike

Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner. Abraham Hamilton III here. You know, Bobby and I were talking before we came on the air. It's interesting to note and to learn that Nicolas Maduro's compound was supposedly one of the most fortified in the world. The same is true about, the Ayatollah Khomeini's compound. and the compound was supposedly including technology that could detect and intercept stealth technology. It didn't really work out too good with Nicolas Maduro. Didn't work out well. And according to reports, the Iranians Saw that and realized, oh, we have the same technology. So they went back to China because China is the one who supplied the technology to them, to them, and said, no, we need an upgrade on this because we don't want to have happen to us what happened to Maduro. And so China purportedly and allegedly provided the upgraded version of their ability to detect attackers and things of that nature, but, didn't really work out too well for them. President Trump mentioned that they thought it would take four weeks to get rid of Khomeini and the leadership of the Islamic Republic, but it didn't even take an entire hour. According to the reports, it was one strike. And talking about the capabilities that exist that apparently the CIA had embedded assets that discovered that the Ayatollah would be gathering at his compound with 40 plus of the top leaders and generals in Iran all at one time. All at one time. And the CIA passed that information on to Israel's Mossad with the information, hey, you guys want to strike? Because the strike that actually terminated Khomeini came from Israel, not from the US but the intel came from the CIA, the usc, United States of America CIA working clearly in conjunction with Israel. but pass that information on. And just in one major strike you have that all transpire. And that, that is, that, that is just, that, that is, it's really mind boggling to consider the, the precision and all of those things. Now again, I'm sharing this information. I, I am not attempting to intrude upon, upon your ability to assess whether or not you think it was a good thing or a bad thing. I'm just sharing, sharing with you that this is what happens. Because like I said before, I'm, I am concerned, I think any, anybody who is honest would have to express that we are concerned about what's going to happen next. You know, and as I said in the first segment, for anybody to say that they know for a fact that they know exactly what will happen, I'm not so sure you can state that so categorically. Now some additional information. You had lots of people speaking. One, of the people I think has done one of the best jobs in representing the Trump administration has been Secretary of State Marco Rubio. And he was being interviewed and he said something that was very, very interesting. Now, he, he, he, he pulled a, pulled a quick one on some words because he's going to say, you're going to hear him say that in a defensive, in an effort to be defensive, we were proactive and I guess you could Use that kind of. In basketball terms, the best defense is an offense, is a good offense. but I want you to follow his, logic. Oh, yeah, that's good. I did see those reports, too, about how some of the. Some of the ways they were able to track some of the. The top leaders in Iran were because they got dental work done, and the dental work was done with the aid of Israeli spies who put certain things in the. In the. They're just amazing. I mean, that's. Yo, that's wild. That's wild. Now, if that is true, I haven't seen that report confirm. I did read some things about that, but I haven't. Haven't seen that confirmed yet. But if that is true, man, that, that takes the pages to a whole nother level. Takes the pages to a whole nother level. but getting back to. To Marco Rubio, who. That's another question. It was supposed to be the month of Ramadan. Were they having breakfast when they all were together at the Ayatollah's house? I. I'm just saying, were they fasting or were they slowing? I don't know. I don't know.

The United States was made aware that Israel was planning an attack on Iran

But getting back to Marco Rubio's comments, I think this is interesting, and I want you to have this information as well, because he mentioned something that I don't think other people have mentioned before, that the United States of America was made aware that there was going to be an attack against Iran. He doesn't say it flat out that, Israel was going to attack whether we did something or not, but he basically says they were going to be attacked. They were going to be attacked. And he says, and if Iran was attacked, they would immediately. They would have immediately made reprisals against the United States of America. This is what Marco Rubio says. So in order to prevent that from happening, we took action. Listen to and watch clip number three. Clip three, go.

>> Marco Rubio: There absolutely was an imminent threat. And the imminent threat was that we knew that if Iran was attacked and we believed they would be attacked, that they would immediately come after us. And we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow before we responded. Because the Department of War assessed that if we did that, if we waited for them to hit us first after they were attacked by someone else, Israel attacked them, they hit us first, and we waited for them to hit us, we would suffer more casualties and more deaths. We went proactively in a defensive way to prevent them from inflicting higher damage. Had we not done so, there would have been hearings on Capitol Hill about how we knew that this was going to happen and we didn't act preemptively to prevent more casualties and more loss of life. The objectives of this operation are, to destroy their ballistic missile capability and make sure they can't rebuild it and make sure that they can't hide behind that. To have a nuclear program. That's the objective of the mission. That said abundantly clear, we would love for there to be an Iran that's not governed by radical Shia clerics. As I've said myself repeatedly for years, the leadership of that country does not reflect the people of Iran. And I think that's been pretty apparent in the protests that you've seen. If there's something we can do to help them down the road, we'd obviously be open to it, but that's not the objective. The objective of this mission is the destruction of their ballistic missile capabilities.

>> Abraham Hamilton III: Now, if you notice, I'm gonna start with the latter part of Rubio's comments and then go to the former parts of his comments. If you notice, Marco Rubio's comments concerning the objectives in this initiative, this mission, this operation, were identical to what General Raising Cain said. So again, for all these people that are wringing their hand saying, well, I don't know what the objectives are. G. Wells. G. Marge, what's one of the objectives? You know, it's Marge from the Simpsons. You know what's going on. Gee, Homie, I don't. Homie, I don't know what. What the objectives could be. Golly geez, the objectives are quite clear. Generation Kane said to prevent Iran from the ability to project. To project power outside of its borders. Senator Marco Rubio said it a bit more plainly to destroy their ballistic missile capabilities and their ability to rebuild them. So can we stop with this whole thing? We don't know what the objectives are? Those are the objectives. Now, if you don't like them, say that you disagree with them. Say that. But don't say you don't know what they are. All right, but the other component, and usually when somebody says, yeah, you know, I want to play defense, that's why I smacked them. That, that, that unusually, that, That doesn't usually track. Right? Yeah. You know what? I was on defense, and I wanted to stop the response, so I slapped him like that. That didn't. But when you consider that the United States of America was aware, and remember what I said earlier about the negotiations concerning our attempts to diplomatically resolve these issues, offering them nuclear energy to eliminate their need to personally Domestically, work with uranium, all of that has to be factored in together. And so since the diplomatic route had really come to a, halt, was not bearing any more fruit. The United States of America, according to what Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, was aware that Iran was going to be attacked, most likely was going to be by Israel. And when that happened, the Iranians were going to respond by attempting to strike the United States of America. Had we stood pat, this is what Marco Rubio said, not doing anything, anticipating anything, preparing for anything, then we would had far more casualties and we would have been in a position, in a worse position than where we are currently. In light of this and the objectives, those who disagree is not regime change per se in terms of we'll eliminate these people and then we'll put in who we want to put in. He's saying this just like President Trump said. This is for the Iranian people to decide. And it's just so. It's so remarkable, like people don't even think about it. Do you realize that the Iranians ethnically are not Arabs? Do you realize that? Do you realize that Iran had a life and a language and a flag that predates the Islamic mullahs? Do you realize that the Iranians are Persians? Okay, Persians. Remember the Book of Esther? Remember Ezra and Nehemiah? Persians. They have a language. They spoke Farsi. They didn't. Arabic is not native to Iran. And the bottom line, according to, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, is we are going to stand here. We either let them strike us or we do what we need to do to minimize the strike on the casualties on the United States of America. And you know what, if in the process we get rid of, obey the world in blood Shia cleric run nation with oil riches, then that's just an added plus. I'm sharing this with you guys so you'll be able to discern the people who are attempting to lie to you in order to persuade your opinion.

Austin, Texas, shooting may be terrorism related, authorities investigating

Now, following that early Sunday morning really is late Saturday night as college students in Austin, Texas were hanging out. Sixth street in Austin, Texas is kind of like. It's not identical to Bourbon street, but it's like a Bourbon street for Austin with lots of bars and things of that nature. And you have this murderous guy, and it always makes me chuckle. And I don't think you should, should rush to conclusions, but I do think you should report the facts. You have a guy who rolls up to Buford's backyard beer garden slightly before 2am following the initiation of Operation Epic Fury, he's armed with a rifle and a handgun, and he rolls up to Buford's backyard beer garden and starts shooting people outside from. Start shooting people from the window of his SUV. Start shooting people. Ultimately kills two people, injures 14 more. All right, dude has on a shirt. Jeffrey, you put the picture up. Dude has on a hoodie that says Property of Allah on the hoodie. Property of Allah. You got the picture. Property of Allah. You see it? If you're watching this show, you can see it. Property of Allah. He has a T shirt on underneath it that has the Iranian flag on it. In his suv, he has a Quran. But the authorities are trying to determine whether or not this was terrorist. Terrorism related. Based on the facts we have, we indicate that it very well may be terrorism related. But we don't know yet. We don't quite yet know. And I'm sharing this to offer the question, is this an indication of something we should expect to see more of? Are there people here who are sleeper cells? y' all know my, my. My policy is not to name murderers. And the police officers responded to this scene. They found him outside of his car shooting people, walking down the street shooting people. And then the police officers applied defensive fire, and, the murderer was killed. But should we expect to see more of this? Will sleeper cells in our own country be initiated? This is part of the reason why the leadership being cumulatively deleted was a very, very poignant phenomenon, because following it, you had Iran shooting off firecrackers toward people who they thought would have been allies towards Qatar and Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and. And Bahrain, and even shot towards Cyprus, where Britain has its RAF In Cyprus, interestingly. And these are just more facts, the murderer in Austin, Texas, that's being investigated. Y' all watching this. She investigated as a terrorism, an act of terrorism. came to the United States of America. She's from Senegal. Came to the United States of America in 2000 on a B2 tourist visa. Six years later, he married an American citizen and became a permanent legal resident and then was later naturalized in 2013. Is this an indication of more activity that that could transpire following the initiation of Operation Epic Fury? Guys, this is a time for prayer and fasting, quite frankly.

Those saying the State Department doesn't have clear objectives are false

And again, I'm trying at this stage for today's show just to share information, because those that are saying that we don't have clear objectives, the president is not saying State and the administration not, saying what the objectives are. Guys, that's just false. That is false. We have objectives. Now, if you disagree with the objectives, just say that. But don't lie and say we don't know what the objectives are. And there are. There is no clear objectives. There are no clear objectives because that's just categorically. And demonstrate false. M.
