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. Good evening, everybody.

Welcome to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio

Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio. I am your host, Abraham Hamilton iii, joined by the fully loaded corner contingent today. Right across from me, my man, 100 grand, Mr. M. Bobby Rosa. You know, I. I learned recently somebody thought there was a person named. I'm serious. I just learned that. It's like. No, that's a slang reference. I just learned that, so I need to say it more slowly. Mr. Bobby Rosa. The screening room is doubly occupied today. Producer extraordinaire, the real J. Mac, who is often imitated but never duplicated. He is in the screening room as well as Mr. Marty Sparks lighting up the dark from there, still in perpetual recovery. That's another one somebody really thought. Is Marty okay? He's still in recovery. I'm serious. I was speaking at a place. I'm not gonna name the place. The person came up to me. I've been worried. Do I need to pray for him? He's nodding. Yes, you need to pray for him. Marty's fine. He's a tremendous woodworker, but in making some life transitions, his shop. And I'm suffering because I need you for some stuff. And to my right, don't go too far in a cruise ship, a, yacht, or if you're riding in the car, is Reed Ritters.

What happens in the White House is not more important than what happens in your home

Ladies, ladies and gentlemen, Double R is in studio and we're 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 that primacy to inform your engagement. Things that are happening on the national stage, they are important, but they are not more important than what goes on in your house. What happens in the White House is not more important than what goes on in your house. You have direct influence, direct control, and therefore direct responsibility for what happens in your home. Unfortunately, in too Many instances, people allow the world, the flesh, the devil, the culture, or many other considerations to drive us to place significance and importance on everything outside of our families and outside of our homes. And we often let our homes kind of fall by the wayside, or we spend ourselves and pursuits and endeavors outside of our families. And then we just offer our families just the leftovers of a day that is well spent. I would simply encourage you to reverse that because you have the opportunity, starting right in your own home, to execute the king's commission. You have the opportunity to invest in and to shape eternal destinies. And I would encourage you to respond accordingly. When we look at our society like, I'm going to cover this story, we. A lot of people talked about, you know, Zoram Mamdani, in New York City, hey, there's another one. There's. And there's another socialist mayor, should I say mayoral candidate in Minnesota, you know, in Minneapolis specifically. And how do you get a populace that would respond to these people with a positive vote? You know, I was. I was watching one of these talking head shows, and, it was cnn. And I know you're like, why, Abe? Great question. I do it for y', all, so you don't have to. I do it. You know, my wife says the same thing. Abe, why are you watching that? they had this panel on cnn, and this big head dude, I'm telling you, he had a big noggin. This is the truth. That's not an insult. He's not. He just had a whopper up top. That's just the truth. And he tried to correct, Scott Jennings, who was a conservative on the panel, saying, mom, Donnie is not a communist. He's a socialist. And I'm just like. And like, you said that, like, it's better. Like, it's less egregious. Like, when we've gotten to the place within the American body politics dialogue to.

Caroline: Where.

Abraham Hamilton III: you think socialist becomes a palatable expression. What has happened to us? You know, he literally said that. Like, oh, you're saying he's. Yeah, he's a murderer. He's not a. He's not a murderer. Murderer in the mass sense. He just killed a couple people. You know, I was like, what? Who has bewitched you that said, to the word of God we go. Psalm 133. This is a psalm of ascent, which, would have been a psalm that was sang in route as the Jews were instructed to travel from all over the nation, to worship the Lord at Jerusalem. This is also a psalm that is written by David. It's a popular psalm, but I, think we can miss some of the texture of what God is conveying to us from his holy word. if we are not students of the text. But I'll read it. It literally is just three verses, and this is what the psalm says. A song of a sense of David. Behold how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell together in unity. It is like the precious oil on the head running down on the beard. On the beard of Erin, running down on the collar of his robes. It is like the dew of Hermon which falls on the mountains of Zion. For therefore I'm sorry, for there the Lord has commanded the blessing. Life forevermore. Oh, man, God's word is so rich. the text is plain. How good and pleasant it is where brothers dwell in unity. this is one of the texts that I memorized in King James. When the brethren dwell in unity. And it is no doubt an expression of a divine celebration of human unity. And when I say divine celebration, it is God, communicating how wondrous it is when brethren family members here specifically has in view the people of Israel. You can have the application the family of God going forward within the view of the covenant that we have through Christ Jesus. How good and pleasant it is when brethren dwell together in unity. Now, what may not be obvious is that this expression brothers dwelling in unity is. Is first introduced into the biblical narrative in Genesis chapter 13, specifically verse 6. Genesis chapter 13, verse 6. What is happening there? Well, in Genesis 13, that is where you have the biblical account of Abram at that time and his nephew Lot. And both of them are living and growing together. But the land becomes insufficient to support the. The plenteousness of their crops. It's almost like, the land became too small for both of them to continue. And that's where one of the underlying things that contributed to Lot calf pitching his tent, as the scripture says, at Sodom. And Abram remaining in Canaan because the area towards Sodom was more fertile. You remember this from Genesis 13. But the expression brothers dwelling in unity was first employed there. So when David employs this psalm, he is. He is no doubt talking about unity, but he. It has the undergirding of a specific implication. How good and pleasant it is when brethren brothers dwell together in unity. It is like the precious oil on the head running down on the beard. On the beard of Erin, running down on the cholera's robes. It is like the dew of Hermon which falls on the mountains of Zion, for there the Lord has commanded the the blessing life forevermore. One of the most immediate implications Knowing that this expression is first introduced in the biblical account in Genesis chapter 13, the Psalmist here David is communicating that the land is fruitful and bountiful enough for brothers or relatives or family members and their families to dwell closely together, where true community is established and each has genuine, unique concern for one another. What David is saying is that how wondrous it is when the circumstances are not like they were with Abram and Lot. But you're in a circumstance where the land is bountiful and plenty and plenteous enough and robust enough to sustain us all together to where there's a robust community of intimacy that is established, where each has concern for one another equally instead of having the Abram Lot circumstance where one's individual concern is elevated to such a heightened position where separation becomes necessary to say all of those many words in a shorter way, what the Lord is conveying is that first and foremost we should understand that things in the kingdom of God are different. The kingdom of God is entirely otherworldly.

In the kingdom of God, we don't consider ourselves advancing at the expense others

In the kingdom of God, we don't have to consider ourselves advancing personally at the expense of our brother. There's enough space in God's economy for Reed to thrive in what God has called him to do and to be and to function in. And there's enough room in God's economy for me to thrive and what God has called me to be and to do. We don't have to consider our responsiveness at the expense of someone else, but from a worldly paradigm. You ever heard the expression crabs in a barrel? From a worldly paradigm. The notion is often a zero sum game. Well, if you advance, there's no room for me. That ain't how it works in the kingdom of God, brothers and sisters. So what the psalmist is saying, yes, unity as it's commonly understood is included in the psalm. But it's deeper than that. It's deeper than that in the kingdom of God. What the Lord is celebrating through David, the psalmist, is how good and pleasant it is for brethren to be able to dwell together in unity. That we can be on the same plane, we can labor in same fields, and the land is robust enough for both of us to thrive, and we have equal concern for one another's well being. I don't have to advance at the expense of Bobby. Bobby doesn't have to advance at my expense. Jeff doesn't have to advance at the at my expense. I don't have to advance at Jeff's expense. In the kingdom of God, we don't world, we don't roll like they roll in the world. We don't have to step on people to go forward. We don't have to crush those behind us to make room for ourselves. In fact, the Lord says in another portion of Scripture that your gifts make room for you and bring you before great, the great bring you before kings. So the underlying notion that this psalm is driving toward is for the people of God to glory in man. Praise be to God. It's one body, it's many members. If the Lord calls Reed to be a mouth in his body, and the Lord calls me to be a big toe, glory to God for his bride. I don't have to be over here, man. I shouldn't wish I could stop talking. And Reed don't be have to be on the other side, man. I sure would like to offer some foot stability. No, there's ample room for all of God's people to respond to him the way he's ordained for us to do so. This exact same expression is mentioned yet again in Genesis chapter 36, with a repeat of, what happened between Abram and Lot. This time it's Jacob and Esau having to part ways. And in the Genesis 33 account, it once again is utilized. In the expression I'm talking about is is brother and brothers dwelling together in unity. It's once again employed as a lament. Esau and Jacob cannot remain together, cannot abide together. But when the psalmist is employing it, he's employing it as a reverse, the antithesis of what Abram and Lot experienced, the antithesis of what Esau and Jacob experience. How good and pleasant it is when the brethren, when the brothers dwell together in unity. It is like precious oil on the head, running down on the beard, on the beard of Erin, which is a. A type as the high priest, the. The inaugural high priest in Israel's historical account, running down on the collar of his robes. It's like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion, for there the Lord has commanded the blessing. Life forevermore. Brothers and sisters, the kingdom of God is entirely otherworldly. We have the blessed privilege to live in such a way where we don't have to have the expectations of the world, we don't have to have the settlements of the world. We can enjoy what God says is available to us. This is not like a rubber stamp for lives of flowery beds of ease. But this is once again this psalm is to adjust our expectations and to help us have an internal disposition. Oh, wait a minute. This is not a zero sum game. The Lord's providential advancement of me in my life doesn't have to result in the denigration of anyone else. And in fact my advancement along with my brother's advancement puts me in a position where we can be mutually concerned to one another's well being. What an honor and a privilege it is to be a son of the King. What an honor and a privilege to be in the family of God. A, discipleship minute with 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 this, 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.

Caroline: Shining light into the darkness.

Pastor John MacArthur has passed away at 86 years of age

All right. It has been announced and I was getting text messages last night as this was kind of unfolding, but, it was announced that, Pastor John MacArthur has passed away, at 86 years of age. it's remarkable to consider that he pastored Grace, community church, that one church for 50 years. You know, that's half a century. You know, pastoring at one church, clearly has been influential. you know, I've heard some people say that he led, the COVID resistance to government overreach into the church. I, definitely will give him credit for standing against it, but I cannot say he led it, because there were lots of other pastors who weren't as popular as him who were doing the same things. But, he no doubt having that huge platform that God had afforded him, was, willing to risk it and willing to take the shots that came with standing firm on God's word. And his presentation was simple, that the government does not have the authority to intrude upon the province of the Lord's church. Period. End of conversation. he would, I saw old clips of him tangling with Gavin Mussolini before he became California's governor, explaining why same sex marriage was such an abomination and addressing these issues. And so, his family no longer has to, endure the health complications that he had been, suffering with toward the latter part of his life. and by God's grace, man, he's gone on to enjoy the fullness of what he's preached about for 50 years. That's, that's, that's pretty amazing.

Now I'm gonna mention this, and I, uh, don't wanna

Now I'm gonna mention this, and I, don't wanna. Well, yeah, I'll get to that. I'm gonna mention this. I'm not gonna spend a whole lot of time on this now because I talked about it at length yesterday. And by the way, we're gonna open the phone lines because I want to get your take on that. I'll just tell you now, first let me give the number. 888-589-8840 is the number. That is 888-589-8840. that is a number to call.

Callers get two questions on what you think about the Epstein file saga

I have two questions now, callers, you get to answer one of the two. All right? Not both one of the two. The first question that you can answer is, what do you think about the Epstein file saga? I'm gonna make some comments about that in a few moments, but I want to know what you think about it. Lots of talking heads, lots of people giving their opinions, but I want to hear what you think about it. And I'll tell you plainly, I think President Trump is making a m mistake in almost castigating his supporters for caring about the issue, because the issue is not necessarily personal to Epstein, even though it includes him, but it's not necessarily personal to him. from my view, and I'll share that in a moment. The second question you get to answer one of the two is, what is your take on Chip and Joanna Gaines? I just, like I said, I'm not gonna say a whole lot about this now because I, I, I talked about it a bit yesterday, but one of the things, when I was driving home yesterday, I was just thinking, and what's the point of having your own network? You know, like, one of the things that we, that brother Don had a vision for that became American Family Radio is that we needed to own the microphone so that we could communicate with American people and AFA supporters and AFR supporters without the filter of mainstream media. We don't have to, you know, risk being edited and nipped and tucked and forced to say this and forced to say that. We will speak directly to the American people, directly to the supporters, with clarity and the conviction of God's word. You know, and it just, it really, it really bothers me because I often encourage believers, you know, to man various lanes. Yes. To start that business, to start that enterprise, to do these things so that you don't have to compromise. Yet these people become prominent and profess to be Christians, which resulted in the overwhelming support that they received. The majority of these people's audience are Christians. Let's just be real about that. But they take advantage of that audience and now say, yeah, we, we're going to have a show about the 1800s. We're going to have a homosexual couple on it. You had homosexual men with adopted children. 1881, man. Stop the madness. Stop the madness. Like, what's the point of having your own network, the Magnolia Network, and yet you're going to use the Magnolia Network to do the very same thing that the worldly network networks are doing. It's just, I don't say what, you know, and I hope they, they repent. and it was, it was grieving to see, you know, Chip Gaines almost, you know, bristling up against the rebuke. He received 11 rebuke and right rebukes. But he bristled up against that. But we'll get to that. So those are the two questions you can answer when we open the phone lines in the third segment. 888-589-8840.

Omar Fatah is running for Minneapolis mayor as an open socialist

Now, I mentioned we all know at this point about Zoran Zoron, Mom, Donnie in New York City. but, there's another guy in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His name is Omar Fatah. Bobby was waiting for that. Bobby's like, what's his name. Y' all should have saw Bobby. Bobby. Why the headshake? I just said his name, man. Omar Fatah. The. Oh, man. Bobby said it's about to be a shaking. Omar Fatah, who is the son of Somali immigrants. Ah, yes. Who. His claim to fame in local politics in Minneapolis is that he's the first Muslim member of the Minnesota state legislature in the history of the state. He advocates for, you know, policies like, I don't know, rent freezes, a rapid increase of the minimum wage. Gotta love this one. A refusal for. For local law enforcement. If he's mayor, he's headed to local law enforcement. Refusing to allow local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE to deport immigrants who entered the country illegally. I wonder why he has a problem with that. I can't figure. Can't. Can't figure that. Free college tuition to legalize fentanyl testing strips. Just to get it right down to where it is. The man is a socialist. And I'm just. And, I'm presenting these things, guys, really, as a checkup opportunity. Like, how do we keep having these things repeated and we haven't arrived here all at once? The bipartisan spending frenzy in Washington, D.C. helps to contribute, but we are firmly entering the phase where, following for the first time in American history, a, man running for the presidency as an open socialist. That will be Bernie Sanders. Get off my lawn. Bernie Sanders. Then you have him, and then Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. Then you have the squad, you know, and now you have this. Guys, do you recognize what's happening in our country? So I wanted you to be aware that what's happening in New York City is not only happening in New York City, it's happening in other portions of our country. And it is. It is not. Let me see it this way. It is a right desire for people to come to our country, to become citizens of our country, not to. Let me just say it this way. My friends in Canada introduced me to this metaphor. America has always been the melting pot. No matter where you come from. You come to America, you become American. Whereas Canada is a salad bowl. You know, the salad bowl. You got a salad, but you can easily distinguish the lettuce from the tomatoes and the tomatoes from the cucumber. It's a salad. It's in the same bowl, but you have this kind of herbivorous balkanization that has transpired in the bowl, as opposed to the melting pot, where we all come together. And I don't care who it is, is nothing wrong with wanting to be American and have Americans in America. This is why I have a wife who grew up speaking Spanish. I say America should have an English requirement for all of our official documents. I can't roll up to Abu Dhabi. I'm going to go to Saudi Arabia and demand that they have official judicial proceedings in English because I showed up there. It's insane. It's insane. You go in certain places in the country, you have billboards and everything in foreign, in another language. Guys, it's very easy because we live here to only allow our experiences here to shape our understandings. And there are no other countries in the world that do that, except for those that have been, you know, overrun with Gramscian Marxism that are looking forward to the Balkanization. That's why you have the no go zones in England, guys. I don't want that to be repeated here in our country. It's clearly coming. You know, it shouldn't. It shouldn't be a herculean effort to say, you know what? We need our official documentation to be in English. You're not going to go to jail if you require a translator. But there's a language that we speak. It's called English. That's not insulting. That's not as racist. Just as racist as it is for Saudi Arabia to refuse to translate their official documents in English. It just. Just boggles my mind, man. It just boggles my mind. So, yeah, Mom, Donnie in the northeast, and you got Omar Fatah. That's his name. Why are you laughing? But Omar, Omar Fata, running for mayor in Minneapolis.

Maxwell says President Trump should stop talking about the Epstein scandal

All right, we'll say a little bit about this Epstein situation. President Trump speaking with reporters kind of got upset. Why are you guys talking about Epstein? It's like, you used to be talking about Epstein. You appointed people, among other things, who talked about Epstein. Cash Patel, Dan Bongino. I can hear right now, dan Bongino in 2023. Because, you know, he is a former secret service agent. Dan Bongino. He has a friend who has a secret service agent. Agent who is assigned to protect William Jefferson Clinton. You know, depends on what the definition of is is. Y' all know about. I did not have that wall. Yeah, you remember him. And he literally explains, I'm on this plane and I'm not gonna go through the whole deal. But the bottom line, Slick Willie ends up with some young girls that Dan Bongino's friend says they're clearly underage. And as a result, he does something, risking his own career, saying, I never want to be assigned to Bill Clinton ever again. I can. Dan Bongino talks about and he becomes a deputy FBI director. Oh, yeah, and by the way, there's this little bitty thing. You know, it's a small thing, not a big thing. But Your attorney general, Mr. Trump, yours, the one you nominated. Right. And many of us supported. I supported Pam Bondi's nomination for Attorney general. She went on Fox News and literally said, I have the Epstein client list on my desk. She said that? I didn't say that. The people who voted for you didn't say that. She said that. Then she said, then they called the whole press conference deal when they invited, you know, conservative influences and others to the White House, gave out these binders. Remember all of that, which ended up having nothing in it other than was already publicly available. And see, what I think President Trump is failing to recognize in this is that the people who supported him did so largely because his candidacy and ultimate election represented a recalibration away from what was widely recognized as this two tiered justice system where the deep state literally drives everything. Simply put, many of the people who voted for him did so because they wanted their country. They didn't want to lose or cede their country to an unnamed, shadowy cabal of unelected, unknown, you know, shadow government, deep state, swamp rats. Like, remember all of that, the swamp drainage. So President Trump, for you to all of a sudden, and not. He not only said that y' all need to stop talking about it, but he almost rebuked and condemned the people who were interested in it. And so what? I'm simply saying the issue is one of credibility. It's one of credibility and an easy out for him because they started this. Nobody compelled them to do this, to talk about it the way they did. Nobody told Bam Bondi to go on Fox News and say, I have the Epstein files on my desk. Nobody made her say that. So she was either lying then or she is lying now. There's no way to escape that. And y' all know me, I'm an equal to opportunity truth teller. I support President Trump's presidency, but I'm not going to just follow suit with everything he does. And if he does something I think is wrong, and I think it's wrong for him to try to castigate his supporters for caring about this issue. Because it's not just Epstein the person, it is the broader issue of accountability, credibility, and whether or not we actually have a country of the people, by the people, for the people. That's what people care about. And this presents the possibility of leaving a black, a stain on the Trump legacy and those connected to him. And I think he's making a misstep by addressing it this way. Now, I understand, because I'm a prosecutor, I understand that there's information that they have, but it includes people that might have attended a party, but they were not the, the, you know, clients of Epstein for the sex trafficking. And that's another thing. Like, we supposed to act like we don't know that. Jeffrey Epstein was arrested and indicted, facing severe charges in Florida. Then Alice Acosta came out and said, yeah, by the way, he got this slap on the wrist in Florida because he was an intelligence asset. Acosta, said that we supposed to act like we don't know. He said that in Ghis Maxwell, she's in prison serving 20 years for what? She, she, she was, indicted in terms of sex trafficking to no one. Come on, man. If President Trump wants to address this, you can very simply say, we cannot release this information because it includes people who may or may not have committed a crime. But we don't have evidence that substantiates whether or not they committed a crime. We don't want to release something that can unnecessarily cause innocent people to suffer. Or you can do it the opposite direction, only release what you have that's evidence of criminality. But to tell the American people, oh, there's nothing, it doesn't exist after your people said it did. I think it's a misstep. And it will have enduring impact if he doesn't make the adjustment timely in a timely manner. Some would say truth is relative and to the world. That's right. What the world considers to be truth fluctuates depending on the narrative they're trying to promote. Of course, we know truth is found in scripture and it never changes. The documentary, the God who Speaks, proves the Bible's reliability as the source of real truth and reinforces our belief in it as our firm foundation. Watch it anytime@stream.afa.net that's stream.aca.net we see and hear about the big public issues happening in our nation's capital. But what about the things that happen behind the scenes?

Abraham Hamilton III says President Trump's dismissal of conspiracy theorists is mistake

Welcome back to the Hamilton corner, Abraham Hamilton III. We're going to open the phone lines this segment. 888589 is the number to call. That's not the whole number. 888-589-8840 is the number to call. That is 888-589-88402 questions on the table. Chip A Joanna Gaines, what is going on? Or Epstein files. What do you think? I want to hear what you have to say about these issues and what I'm saying in President Trump's underestimation that many of his supporters are people who are like me, you know, saying, man, the laptop, the election was stolen, all these other kind of things, conspiracy theory turned verifiable evidence over and over and over and over and over again. And I feel like the president's not just dismissal, but castigating people, who are concerned about it. I think it's a mistake. And I think, even today, speaker, Mike Johnson, speaker of the House, came out saying, now we need more transparency there. I mean you literally have Laine Maxwell sitting in prison right now. You know, what is what the world is going on.

Leslie Hamilton: President Trump underestimating how Epstein secrecy could harm administration

But so to the phone lights we go. We will start in Louisiana where Leslie is on the line. Leslie, thank you for calling the Hamilton Corner. Welcome to the program. Hello.

Caroline: How are you?

Abraham Hamilton III: I'm doing well. How are you?

Caroline: I'm great. So, do I really have the ability to add anything to what you said before the commercial break?

Abraham Hamilton III: I bet you can.

Caroline: I'm just not sure. So it seems to me that, the President is underestimating how much the Epstein secrecy could potentially damage his reputation and the administration's reputation m. because got elected for transparency. And we want all these people and these people in administration. It's a dawn of a new day. Well, it doesn't look like the dawn of a new day. Yeah, so. And it seems as though in the last five, six years, so many things have been swept under the rug that I think a lot of people view it as more of the same and it makes them very uncomfortable. it certainly makes me uncomfortable and I'm not terribly focused on Jeffrey Epstein. But it seems to me that it goes back to the if you'll be dishonest in a little, you'll be dishonest and a lot. So there's a way to handle it. But I don't think this Is it?

Abraham Hamilton III: Well said, Leslie. I think there are a lot of people who agree with what you said. It's not people are hot to try to buy Epstein the person, but much of the support for President Trump. And I want to be clear about something. To date, the Trump administration has been the most transparent administration, certainly in my lifetime, if not in history. And they've done a lot of things that have been right. And this doesn't nullify the things that they've done. Well, things they've done right. But this is not being handled properly. And I do think it's a mistake and it's gonna. Cause I really think this has the potential, if not handled better going forward. I think this has the potential to blunt momentum. And if you've been listening to me, you know, I've said President Trump needed to operate in this administration to attempt to set up those who are coming behind him because he's only had. He only has one term. I think this has the potential to kind of blunt the momentum that he had been generating in the Oval Office for those who might come after him.

Shirley from Tennessee calls the Hamilton Corner to discuss Watergate controversy

Back to the phone lines. You guys have heard what I had to say. Let's hear what you have to say. We'll go now to Tennessee, where Shirley is on the line. Shirley, thank you for calling the Hamilton Corner. Welcome to the program.

Caroline: Thank you for taking my call. I absolutely agree with everything you said. I just had two quick points. One, Ghislaine Maxwell, as I understand, is no longer in regular prison. She's in sweetheart prison, where they rub your toes every day and give you caviar, and so she's not unhappy. Two, my feeling overall is even when we get to the bottom of. If we ever get to the bottom of everything, who's going to jail? I mean, it just seems like the Bidens are still out. The Clintons are out, Obama's are out, Soros's are out. The list is long, and there's more criminals out here with us than in jail. So it seems like after all said and done, nothing really is going to be resolved. I hope I'm wrong.

Abraham Hamilton III: Shirley, I think a lot of people agree with you and there's hopes that it won't end up this way. You mentioned George Soros. There's a story out today that as much as Zora, Mom, Danny, he's on TV saying there should be no billionaires. Pretty interesting report is out today that George Soros spent $37 million on his election through lefty organizations and outfits that support him. I ain't never seen Zaron, mom. Donnie say, nah, I don't want Soros spending that money on my election. You know, and he's just out, out and about doing his thing. And it has the potential to cause it to be like some. That, that jadedness you're saying, like, who is anybody ever gonna be held accountable? You know, like, we're having evidence that, like, many of us know that the lights might have been on, but nobody was home when Mr. Joseph Robinette was in the White House. And now more evidence is coming out to substantiate that notion. Is anybody going to be held accountable? And the lack of that accountability is one of the things that had a lot of the American people frustrated, which is why I think President Trump had the election that he had. But I think he could be cutting off his nose, so to speak, despite his face, longer term.

Pamela is upset about Alex Acosta's plea deal involving underage girl

Back to the phone lines. We go next to North Carolina, where Pamela is on the line. Pamela, welcome to the Hamilton corner. Go right ahead.

Caroline: Well, good evening, brother.

Abraham Hamilton III: Good evening.

Caroline: Pleasure to be talking with you. as a victim of, sexual abuse, this, does bother me only because, And I think the reason why you're so upset is because as Christians, we're not supposed to have any appearance of evil. And this is really hot. A very dark appearance of evil, in my opinion. and we see in Scripture where he tells us in Ephesians that we're not, we're not fighting against, flesh and blood, but rulers against powers and against the world forces of this present darkness. So it's very dark what's going on. And when I think of, What did you say the man's name was? The, he was Attorney General, in Florida that gave Epstein the.

Abraham Hamilton III: Alex Acosta.

Caroline: He actually worked for President Trump in his first m. Term.

Abraham Hamilton III: And this came up in his confirmation hearing too, in his first term. Yeah.

Caroline: And that very much always concerned me as to why President Trump would have him on his Cabinet.

Abraham Hamilton III: That is a good point. That is a good point. That, that is one of the things that brought these things to the fore. When President Trump ran initially that, that plea deal, all of a sudden, I mean, I like y', all, you guys know, I prosecuted major felonies for a long time. I've never seen that kind of deal offered to somebody alleged to have, been involved with illicit sexual activity with a minor. Never have I seen anything like that. you make good points.

Frank Franklin Graham: Trump needs to release list today, not tomorrow

Back to the phone lines we go. We'll go now to Arkansas, where Jim Is on the line. Jim, thank you for calling the Hamilton Corner. Welcome to the program.

Caroline: Yes, sir. Thank you so much. let me say this. Trump was a Democrat way before he was a Republican, and he messed up. now if you talk to Frank. Frank Franklin Graham. Trump has changed a lot. but he needs to release this. The American people, especially people that believe in. In Trump, will understand he's made a mistake if anything like this ever happened. But we need to release it. If there's good people who zonied. Sorry. if they're guilty, they're guilty. If they're not, they're not. But it needs to be taken care of today, not tomorrow. Today.

Abraham Hamilton III: Jim said today, not tomorrow. Today. I understand. I understand your sentiment. I am sensitive, however, to the idea that, this has the potential to. It could. Depending on what the information is and how it's released, it could have a negative impact on people who have not. There's not evidence of them committing any wrongdoing. I'm sensitive to that. But you need to say that. You can't just say, oh, there is no list. And why do you even care about it? You can't really say that.

Back to the phone lines. We'll go next to Kansas where Phil is on the line

Back to the phone lines. We'll go next to Kansas where Phil is on the line. Phil's gonna change it up a little bit. Phil, thank you for calling the Hamilton Corner. Go right ahead. Hey.

Caroline: Ah, thank you. I enjoy your show. on the, Dip and Joanna situation, I. I was kind of taken back. Well, I was taken back. I didn't know anything about it. I heard it from you and, kind of brings to me, kind of brings, dare I say, reproach to the name of God. If you. If you do that kind of thing, if you kind of let it slide or condone that kind of thing. I just, I don't know. I don't watch enough tv, watch an hour a week. But I know that I enjoyed watching them because it was a good thing and I thought it was positive and Christian family and so on. But, I don't know. You made the comment. It's tough for you on a public format then to convince folks Jesus is the way. And that's. That's so true because. Oh, yeah. In the name of God, we can do this. No, we can't. yeah. Very good.

Abraham Hamilton III: Well said, Phil. Thank you for your call and your comments. Very well said. Very well said. We'll go next to Kentucky where Frank is on the line. Frank, thank you for calling Hamilton Corner.

Frank: President Trump needs to come out and say mistake made

Welcome to the program.

Caroline: Yes, Abraham, I think that, President Trump needs to come out and say, it has been a mistake made. we all have made mistakes. We all make mistakes on a constant basis sometimes. But he also come out and say, I'm, I'm sorry about it. And, it's been a mistake made. You know, I don't really don't believe, I don't believe that nothing has been done, was negative. but he needs to confront that and see, it's been a mistake made and let it go with that.

Abraham Hamilton III: Thank you, Frank, for calling. I mean, he want to talk about a mistake made. I mean, the Attorney General is. The chief of the executive branch is justice arm. Right, Justice. We have a circumstance where the President Trump's Attorney General said, I have the Epstein client list on my desk. And now that same Department of Justice is saying that there is no Epstein Klein list. How can the American public had confidence in the pursuit of justice when the head of the Department of Justice either lied or is lying? I mean, that's what it comes down to. And let's be clear about it, it's President Trump's Attorney General. It's not like Pam Bondi is a free agent. She is over here. She serves at President Trump's behest. And I'm not saying that this nullifies everything else he's done. It doesn't. But it is, I would argue it's an unforced error. It's an unnecessary stain on his administration currently.

Abe Hamilton: I think President Trump risks a lasting impact with this controversy

Let's go now to Texas, where Ryan is on the line. Ryan, thank you for calling the Hamilton Corner. Welcome to the program.

Caroline: Thank you, Abe, for your boldness in your public venue, for one thing. But I wanted to comment that you know President Trump. I can't say that I would have been friends with him, on a personal basis, but I appreciate the policies that he's put in place and the way that God has used him. But I think it's safe to say that his perception by his public would not necessarily change from. Because he's made some mistakes already in his past and that everyone knows about. And I don't know that this would necessarily change that. But I think that there's also indications that there's some prominent members of the upper members of both parties that are probably implicated in this. Otherwise there will be a rolling tide, one side or another, against this to happen. And it's not coming out. There's not really being a, ah, hard push, except what seems to be from conservative Christians because they want to know the truth. So anyway, that's my perception of this and like to hear what you think about it.

Abraham Hamilton III: Yeah. Well, my first response is, ryan, what's for dinner? Because you seen you cooking with grease. Remember when I played the congressman, Tim Burchard from Tennessee, when he said, well, whatever Elon Musk is doing, he better do it now? Because when you start digging, you gonna find out people from both aisles on both sides are implicated, and they're gonna try to stop what you're trying to do. I think you raise some very, very viable concerns. but, you know, I do think he risks this, having a lasting, more lasting impact than I think he is currently assessing.

Abe Hamilton: Bruce says LGBT Christians should adhere to biblical teaching

we'll go back to Arkansas now, where Bruce is on the line. Bruce, thank you for calling the Hamilton Corner. The disrespectful music is starting, so you have like, 20 seconds. Bruce, go.

Caroline: All right. All right, Abe, thanks. I watched a lot of HGTV and watched, Chip and Joanna, and I liked the programming. I never thought of them as being pastors or biblical teachers.

Caroline: I'm not surprised the LGBT folks got to them and they take it the easy way.

Abraham Hamilton III: Bruce, thank you for your call in your comments. But doesn't it make you sad, though, yet? I agree with you. I never sought them out as theological bastions to guide me in the way of proper biblical exposition and exegesis. But if you come out publicly saying you're Christian, I want you to really be to be Christian. And I'm not saying that they're not Christians, but I'm saying I want you to adhere to what the scripture teaches instead of using your platform to advance what God declares to be abominable. Thank you for all the callers and the people holding. I'm sorry, but we ran out of time. Y' all have a great evening. The views and opinions expressed in this.

Caroline: Broadcast may not necessarily reflect those of.
