    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. Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media. And the philosophies of this world. God has called you and me to be his ambassador. Even in this dark moment. Let's not miss our moment. And now the Hamilton Corner. Good evening, everybody. Welcome to the Hamilton Corner here on American Family Radio. I am your host, Abraham Hamilton. The third, and we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program. So much is happening in our world. The Republican National Convention is well underway at the Pfizer Forum in Milwaukee. a former president Trump made a, would only give you described as a resounding appearance at the convention. There were things that transpired there that were quite curious, an appearance from Amber Rose, with a prime time speaking slot. Not much anything except she's the founder of something called the slut walk. That is not a pejorative, that is literally what it's called. That was quite interesting, the evening concluded with a pagan prayer. Yeah, a lot of things are happening. Today by God's grace, what I endeavor to do is I have a conversation with you starting first in the word of God, secondarily to share with you what I think is one of the most important conversations we can have at this moment.

  2. 2:01

    It's not going to be what you think. And depending on how that all unfolds, I plan to give a little bit of an overview of Mr. Trump's selection of JD Vance as his vice presidential running mate. I believe I understand what Mr. Trump is trying to accomplish. I believe it was a politically prudent decision. but it yet was a decision that leaves me while remaining hopeful, remaining hopeful, but leaves me wondering where the believer is in the midst of this political milieu. And I'll explain, I'll endeavor to explain that as we go through. At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you, are making your transition from your part-time job to your full-time jobs, part-time jobs where you generate an income, your full-time jobs, full-time jobs where we all cultivate an outcome. As you make your transition, I want to encourage you to do so with full intentionality, understanding the primacy that God places on the family. Never forget that what goes on in your house is far more important than what goes on in the White House. It's not because the White House matters are unimportant. If you listen to this program, you know. I know and believe they are vitally important. They simply are not more important than what goes on in our own. That's just a simple reality, folks. So as you make your transition, please do so with intentionality. Understanding the necessity of you and I approaching our home life with a clarity, a conviction, and an intentionality. You know, it's very similar to when you travel. You have to travel somewhere, if you're taking the drive somewhere, You use a GPS device.

  3. 4:02

    Where do you start? You start by putting your ending location. When you enter your ending location, then you're presented with several options as to how you can get there. But if you don't know where you're going, you're just getting the car start riding. You have no wherewithal for determining whether or not you're going to arrive at your desired destination. Understand the intentionality that must be employed in order for us to enjoy the type of benefit type of fruit we would like to enjoy in our family. I'm joined by the corner contingent right across from me. My man, 100 grand looking quite spiffy and bright on this Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Bobby. rattles size in the building and in the screening room we have produced extraordinary Hadalom the real j Mac. Ladies and gentlemen, we ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program. I'm going to begin today shell. key I can't see him behind the monitor. Babies like Jeffy- TWO It give Jeff some stand up. Oh, y'all matching a young cute Hercules. Yeah, it's so cool. Marvelous. It's simply Marvelous. Y'all should see these twinkies in the studio. Y'all ain't that precious grown twinkies. Y'all playing that boy. I'm telling you. Let us begin with the word of God. Isaiah chapter one is what we're going to begin today's program. Isaiah chapter one by way of reminder, the Prophet Isaiah administered to the Southern kingdom of Judah from about 767 BC all the way to about 686 BC. He and you can you can get this timestamp, if you will, from the very beginning of his epistle because he records his writings as being the product of the visions that he enjoyed during the reigns of subsequent kings of Judah, starting with King Uzziah all the way through the reign of Hezekiah. Okay. So I want you to be aware of that. the overarching purpose of Isaiah's ministry very specifically is to call Judah back to God and repentance and to proclaim the salvation of the Lord through Messiah. That is the overarching purpose. And as right at the very beginning of the book in chapter 1, hmm, verses 10 through 15, the prophet Isaiah, the prophet Isaiah is addressing Judah and Jerusalem and the this portion of the text, he's conveying that the Lord had had enough. Isaiah chapter 1 verse 10, this is what the word of God says, here the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom, give ear to the instruction of our God, you people of Gomorrah. What are your multiplied sacrifices to me, says the Lord. I've had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed cattle, and I take no pleasure in the blood of bulls, lambs or goats.

  4. 7:05

    When you come to appear before me, who requires of you this trampling of my courts? Bring your worthless offerings no longer. Incents is an abomination to me. New moon and Sabbath, the calling of assemblies, I cannot endure iniquity, and the solemn assembly. I hate your new moon festivals and your appointed feasts. They have become a burden to me. I am weary of bearing them. So when you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, even though you multiply prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood. It goes on the same chapter. And the Lord takes on the leadership of the Southern Kingdom of Judah. Verse 23, your rulers are rebels and companions of thieves. Everyone loves a bribe and chases after reward. They do not defend the orphan, nor does the widows plea come before them. Now I wanna be clear as to what's being conveyed here. First in verse 10 that I read, says, here the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom, give ear to the instruction of our God, you people of Gomorrah. This is language of indictment. God is describing the nation of Judah as if it is Sodom and Gomorrah. He refers to the leadership as rulers of Sodom and refers to the populace, refers to the people as the people of Gomorrah. This is not a knee jerk reaction. This is the product of a sin-laden disposition that is accumulated over generations. All right, this is not just a rapid assessment.

  5. 9:08

    This is a sitting-laden phenomenon that is accumulated over generations. And it reached such a place of disdain from God's standpoint. He refers to incense as an abomination to him. Now this will be the exact same incense, I'm sorry, that he instituted through Moses with the construction and the functioning of the tabernacle. This instance continued on through the worship of Yahweh through the temple with the Levitical priesthood, but the Lord decry is it as an abomination to him because while the people have become overrun, given over, I mean, verses five and six, the Lord says to Isaiah, the whole head is sick, The whole heart is faint that the nation had become corrupt through and through, yet as the corruption had become pernicious and pretty near comprehensive, they still maintain a vestige of temple function. Isn't that amazing? Still maintain the vestige of the ornamental portions of worship. To which the Lord said, man, your instances of domination to me, I cannot endure iniquity and solemn assembly. I cannot endure form with no substance. I cannot endure church attendance with a public display without a personal internal authentic commitment. In fact, evidence of the callousness is that you have a people who are headlong giving over to sin. Yet they have no conviction of their sin that will cause them. You know what? I probably need to stop with these performances because I know I ain't living right. It is the national Old Testament iteration of the person that is living individually in sexual sin yet have frequent perfect church attendance. It's like a people who will say, well y'all know I be in the club last night, but y'all know I'm gonna be at church in the morning and it becomes a cultural phenomenon where they can even become a joke that you can laugh at, because there's no fear of God in their eyes.

  6. 11:59

    And something that should be startling and sobering, because the scripture refers to the Lord as being long-suffering. But long-suffering is not synonymous with forever suffering. The Lord's grace is expansive, but that comes a day of reckoning. this disparate condition. And I want you to recognize that it is rife within the people and its leadership. And one of the reflections of the condition of the people is that they're ruled, as verse 23 says, by rebels. Rebels against the Lord is what he's talking about. Ruled by rebels. Where the leaders are companions of thieves. The wording is so striking, especially in the Hebrew. It's not even saying that the rulers steal from time to time. It says the rulers are companions of thieves, the close confidants, the ones with whom they intimately do life. The proper writers say, how can two walk together? Let's stay agree. Yet in the corrupt state of the nation, the Lord indicts or highlights the fact that the rulers are the companions of thieves. In bribery is as normalized as breathing, breathing. I don't know what kind of nation that may sound like at this moment. I don't know. Maybe you might can tell me, Bobby, you know, and I don't know what kind of nation would be one where you can have a weekend at Bernie's president and everybody winks and nods and go on. I don't know what kind of nation when the dude who he's not in the office anymore, but he He moves five miles from the White House, and he was on camera and said, you know, if I could find a way to put an earpiece and have a front man.

  7. 14:06

    I can still call the shots, but they have someone else. I don't know. I don't know what that sounds like, but I know what I think I'm literate. I can read. And it seems like the Lord is indicating that you have rulers that are willing to sell out their people for their own personal game. And it's not merely of a description of humanistic pensions. At this juncture in Isaiah chapter 1, it's describing the corruption and the nation. As I said yesterday and I will continue to say, prayers the order of the day, prayers the order of every day. And as we pray, we must begin with concluding our prayer, with obeying the Lord and our interpersonal lives, making sure we are our people of obedience. We've heard a lot about saving babies on this show. That's because it's important to me personally. And let me just be frank with you. We need to save them. That's why we've partnered with Preborn, the nation's leader in introducing mothers with unplanned pregnancies to their babies. And once she hears that heartbeat and sees that precious life growing inside of her, she is twice as likely to choose life. Now that's a miracle. But quite honestly, if we don't save them, who will? receives no government funding so their work is completely dependent on us. Preborn has rescued over 280,000 babies, and that's not all. They provide love, support, and counseling for up to two years for free, saving lives and souls. One ultrasound is just $28 or $140 helps to rescue five babies' lives. Abortion doesn't stop, so we can't. Together, you and I can save lives. Just dial pound 250 on your cell and say the keyword baby. That's 250 baby. Or go to preborn.com. That's preborn.com. Shiting light into the darkness.

    This is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio. Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton, III here. Guys, we are at a, I would describe it as a significant juncture in our nation's history. where we have what I would describe, what only could be described as the evidence of demonic activity on display for the entire nation to see, with the attempted assassination of former President Trump, that we watched before our very eyes. The entire world was brought to catch up with the Hamilton corner audience to recognize that we don't have a current Oval Office occupant that is calling the shots for the nation the federal executive level who has been elected by the American people. We do not have an executive, and I want to say this as clearly as I can. We currently do not have a federal executive, a commander in chief who is actually making the decisions that the Constitution delegates to the president of the United States. We do not have one making those decisions, those decisions currently who has been elected by the American people. that sink in. And there's an entire apparatus in the Democrat Party that is that has supported that for the last three and a half years, as well as a media propaganda outfit that aided that up until like yesterday, you know, following the June 27 debate, right? Then on the Republican side, we have a movement that is called America first, but they find certain features that happened to be, you know, things that those pesky evangelical Christians care about that are inconvenient politically so it's perceived.

  9. 18:18

    So we just jettison it. No protections in the Republican Party platform for the sanctity of human life, intentionally abandoned from the previous 40 years position. You have, then you can go and put the screen shot up, Jeff. You have this guy, Charles Moran, the president of the log cabin Republicans. Go ahead and put the screen shot up, which is celebrating yesterday at the Republican National Convention. And he wrote quote, the approval today of the 2024 Republican Party platform at the Republican National Convention is a historic moment both for the GOP and for our country. Log cabin Republicans have been working for decades to help build a more inclusive GOP and update the parties outdated and out-a-step language opposing marriage equality. An issue that the vast majority of the country and a majority of Republican voters support. Today that hard work has finally come to fruition. This platform sends a powerful message to LGBT conservatives, I'm sorry that's oxymoron. LGBT conservatives across the country that we are not only welcome in the Republican Party, but a part of the movement to make America great again. It also makes clear to voters that the Republican Party welcomes all and is looking optimistically to the future instead of cynically rehashing old debates of the past." If you're watching the show, I got a picture of them up there, you know, celebrating. Guys, I understand politics, but I've told you numerous times, as a Christian, we're going to have to make a decision if we have not already made it. What are we going to do when everyone strays from where we stand? Now, to be clear, I'm not crazy. I know Donald Trump is better than Joe Biden. I'm talking about that.

  10. 20:19

    What I'm talking about is where are we as a nation? Where is the body of Christ as a nation? What we are witnessing, broadly speaking, is both parties saying we don't really need to yield to whatever evangelical Christians may want. We can take them for granted. I know that's not everybody, but I'm talking generally. And I get this, you know, here's the question. Mayors doesn't belong in government at all. The Republican Party is not the government. It's a party. The political party platforms are supposed to be aspirational objectives. They're not synonymous with the government, but leaving that aside. My question is, where is the body of Christ in the midst of all of it? We are to be in the world, but not of the world. The Lord said He deposited His bride in the world. And I would argue us who are planted in this nation to be salt and light in the Word of God has planted us in. He didn't deposit us here to be lightly salted. And what I am concerned about is that many in the body of Christ have been dulled and dumbed down and have employed the reverse of Romans 12 verses 1 and 2. Is that a refusing to be conformed by this world, but be transformed by the ruin of our minds. many I would say have been conformed. The purpose here is not to condemn or to cause despondency, but to draw a line in the sand. So we have clarity when people say, well, there's work yet to be done. Okay, what is the work that is yet to be done? Do we have the resolve to do that work? What is the our aim that we are? What is the target that we are aiming at. What is the objective we are intending intending to accomplish? I was greatly encouraged recently by a man from a place that I would not have expected. The man I'm talking about is the El Salvadoran president, Naiib Bukhale. He was just reelected to his second term as the Salvadoran president. The first time he was elected, he was a very narrow victory.

  11. 23:10

    The second, his reelection, which he was just inaugurated for his second term, they have five year terms of El Salvador in June 1st, 2024. El Salvador is a relatively, not relatively, a very small country in Central America, populated by six million people by President Bocella's own description. It's a poor country and has been a poor country from its inception. Yet, this small, poor country's presidential president's re-election and his inauguration drew delegations from 110 countries of the world, including the U.S. We sent a presidential delegation and a congressional delegation. Tucker Carlson interviewed Na'yib Bukhale following his inauguration. I want you to listen to and see and hear some of this conversation, because these are things that I don't think any of us would have expected a national president to say. I want to begin with Naiibukhiele explaining that 110 nations sent delegation to his inauguration. It's clip number one. Go. Mr. President, thank you for having us. Thank you, Tucker. Thank you, Kevin. That's true. Thank you, David. Which is beautiful. So you were inaugurated two days ago. This is a small country and yet your inauguration was international news was everywhere. Why? What do you think that is? Well, what's the shock for us too? I mean, we knew that a lot of people were coming and I mean, that will draw some attention, of course. We had big delegations from 110 countries. So of course, that will draw news because if a chancellor comes from a country, then he He brings his media team and that.

  12. 25:15

    That will create some news over there. And if a president comes or a king comes, that will create some news. Even you came. So that creates some news. But why were they coming? Well, I don't know. Different versions of course. I could ask you, why did you come, right? I came because I think something remarkable is happening here. That's why. I came because I think something remarkable is happening here. remarkable. We're going to get to it during the show. El Salvador has been run for decades by a gang called MS-13. The government could really be described as a puppet government because really the gang was the government. In a short amount of time, Naiibukhele reversed a lot of that nation, and I wouldn't say it alone. He'll, you're going to hear now, he's going to explain it, he didn't do it alone. And he's going to describe what he talks about as the official plan at the implement in the the real plan. Next you're going to hear President Bukhelli talking about is remarkable what has transpired in his nation because there have been a poor country from the country's inception. Clip number two, go. My guess is that of all the countries in the hemisphere, El Salvador seemed in the toughest shape or close to the bottom in the rankings for everything. Yes. Yes. Lacking, abundant natural resources, et cetera. And since the country was born. Is that true? Yes. I mean, the country has been poor sense it was more. Yeah. Lacking everything basically. Lacking everything with the dense population, a lot of people packed in. Yeah. So what do you, how did you change it? I guess I'll cut right to it. If you can fix El Salvador, what are the lessons for the rest of us? What did you do first? If you can fix El Salvador, a poor country in Central America that exported nearly half of its population, if not more. If you can turn things in El Salvador, what are the lessons for the rest of the world?

  13. 27:17

    And if you have such a massive job to do with relatively few resources, where do you start? President Bucheli responds, clip three. Go. If you can fix El Salvador, what are the lessons for the rest of us? What did you do first? Well, of course, you cannot do anything if you have peace, right? And when I say peace, I include wars, civil wars, invasion, crime. I mean, you need to have peace. You need to be able to move freely, to have your basic rights respected, starting with the right to live, the right to move, the right to have property. So you need your basic rights being respected. So you need peace. That's the first thing a society will struggle to achieve. And once you achieve peace, then you can struggle for the other things. Like infrastructure, well-being, quality of life. But you have to start with peace. So we had to start with peace. And in the case of El Salvador, we were literally the moderate capital of the world. And we turn it into the safest country in the Western Hemisphere or safer than any other country in the Western Hemisphere, which is, you know, it was, if I would have said that five years ago, they would say that I was crazy, right? Yes, they would have. That is such an audacious claim. The safest country in the Western Hemisphere from being the literal murder capital of the world per capita. He continues. Flip number four, go. This was literally the most dangerous country in the whole world. Your capital is now safer than our capital. Yes, yes, yes. And the country is safer than the United States as a whole. Yes. The US murder race around six murders per 100,000 inhabitants and our murder rate is two.

  14. 29:23

    So we're safer than Canada, safer than Chile, safer than Uruguay, safer than the US, safer than any country in the Western Hemisphere. There are countries in the other hemisphere that are safer than a Salvador, but not into Western Hemisphere. Guys, that is remarkable and described as the safest country in the Western Hemisphere, safer than Washington, D.C., a Salvador's capital in terms of murder. Now, it begins to get really interesting because Carlson is going to ask him, well, what was the formula? How did you do this? And he's going to present his answer in terms of this is the official formula. And then we have a real formula, a clip five. No. So, you did that in just a couple of years? Yes, we did that in basically in three years. So, what, just bottom line for us, what's the formula? Well, I can tell you the official formula and the real formula. Okay. So, the official formula is that we did a plan. I mean, we did a plan. It's not that. When I say official, I mean, it's a lie, it's just, you know, the official one. We did a plan that was comprised of faces. So we rolled up the first phase, then the next one, then the next one. And then, gangs started attacking back. So we had to roll up everything at once, like in a hurry. And it worked. It worked. In a couple of weeks, the country was transformed, because the gangs were not yet arrested, but they were in the run. In a couple of weeks, in a couple of weeks, I'm trying to move fast for the sake of time, but he goes on to explain there were 70,000 gang members committed to murder that were identified that were literally terrorizing the country.

  15. 31:34

    And in a matter of weeks, they went from terrorizing the country to being on the run. It then describes, well, well, there's official formula versus a real formula. What was the result of the real formula? Clip six. Go. So we had, we basically, in the roll-up of phase six, we basically pacified the country in a couple of weeks. How do you do that? How do you pacify a country? Well, with the faces included building up of the police forces, the army, we doubled the army. We literally doubled the army to fight crime, to use the army to fight crime. and we equipped them before, like soldiers who didn't have like, you know, useful guns or you know, vehicles, drones, you know, basic things that, that are, that are operation of that magnitude we need. So, yeah, we, we, we roll up the faces and then, and then we, we, we went after them. Okay, so that's the official, that's the official. Yeah, that's the official. But what's the real? It's a miracle. It's a miracle. It's a miracle. I love that. It's a miracle. The real plan phases. I mean, the official plan phases, the real plan, it's a miracle. The Hamilton Quarter Podcast and One-Bitted Common Terrets are available at AFR.net back to the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio. Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton. third here, I want to be clear. I'm not saying that the United States of America needs to be El Salvador. I'm not saying that you can rent and repeat everything that's here. And a lot of people say, well, what happened all the 70,000 gang members? You even know anything about the story. They jailed them. They're in jail in El Salvador. They've they've built these massive facilities where they have life sentences for all these gang members. However, I want to focus on his explanation here as to what happened in the country.

  16. 33:54

    So when they began to attempt to change the country by pursuing these gangsters that have been terrorizing the country for decades, did you think they would just lie down and let it happen? Well, no, the gangs began to retaliate against the government. And he talks about that here, Clipsevon. Go. miracle, you know, when gangs started attacking us back, basically, they killed 87 people in three days, which for a country of 6 million people, it's crazy. It would be the equivalent 60 times, it would be the equivalent of having 5,000 deaths in three days, for 5,000 murders in the US in three days. Wow. Yeah. So we were in the meeting and when it started, not when it ended, but when it started, we were in the meeting at my office, 3 AM, 4 AM, just watching what was happening and trying to figure out what to do because the problem with gangs is that they don't only attack their objectives. When they want to create terror, they can attack anyone. So they can actually kill their grandma. Yes. And it's your victim. Yes. Because they don't care about their grandma. You care about their grandma. So it's your victim is it if they code their grandma, you have one one death and they have, you know, they achieved the terror that they want to create. So So he's describing that is a domestic war. They don't want to change. They attack civilians indiscriminately. While you are focused as the government trying to get the gang members as he describes with the objectives, but for them, anybody could be a target and they would accomplish their object, they accomplished their goal of continuing to terrorize the nation. So then he goes on and explained that this is an impossible mission.

  17. 36:05

    We're trying to root out 70,000 gang members, MS-13, which he describes later in interview, we won't get to that, but it started here in America with drug dealers in California, Mexican's wouldn't allow Salvadorans to sell dope. So the Salvadorans started their own gang in Los Angeles and spread from there. But he goes on to describe this is an impossible mission that we had before us. So then what do you do when you're faced with an impossible task that must be done? Clip number eight, go. So they can kill anybody. A woman walking by, a guy working in the street, a taxi driver, they can kill anybody. And if the state goes after them, the state has no intention of killing or harming anybody, but the gang members. So you have 70,000 objectives, which were the 70,000 gang members, but they have six million possible targets. So it was almost an impossible task. It's a guerrilla war, really. Yes, but it was an impossible task because you have to go after them. They were intertwined with the population. They were everywhere. And they were killing randomly. So you stop. So we really try to figure out what to do. And I basically said, well, we are looking at it into an impossible mission here. So we pray. And we prayed in the meeting? Yes, yes, of course. Several times, yeah. Faced with an impossible task. So we prayed the head of state.

  18. 38:06

    What's your strategy? We prayed. How are you gonna change the tide of the country? With gangs over run to the nation? We prayed. In the meeting? Yes. Several times. We prayed. We prayed. How can you as a head of a state and a secular government pray? Flip number nine, go. What did you pray for? To wisdom, to win the war, to have, I thought at the time that we would have civilian casualties. So we prayed that a civilian casualties would be as low as possible. And we didn't have any civilian casualties. And was everyone in the meeting comfortable with that? Yes. There every almost security cabinet are believers. They will believe in God and we're a secular country of course But we all believe in God so yeah MS 13 is one of the major gangs and they are satanic also that was my question so No, no, no, but I hope you will explain it because very little has been written in the West about this. There's a tannicus We prayed the Fisher formula phase one phase two phase two place phase five place the real formula is a miracle. It's a miracle. It's a miracle. How did you enjoy this miracle? We were faced with an impossible task. We're trying to root out 70,000 gang members. They're indiscriminately attacking civilians, 87 people killed in three days in the country of 6 million people equivalent of 5,000 Americans being killed in three days in retaliation to governmental efforts to root out the criminality we prayed in the meeting. Yes. Several times. How do you do this?

  19. 40:13

    All my defense cabinet members are believers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're second the country, but we prayed. And what I want you to be aware of that initially when he was elected, he got elected with a slim margin. His reelection was overwhelming and his inaugural address on June 1st. He explained now that we've gotten rid of MS-13, we need to face the difficulty in our economy. How are we going to do that, you ask? The same way we confronted the criminal gang element. Our first point of our plan for economic restoration in El Salvador is prayer. This was a month and a half ago, guys. This was his pronouncement to the nation to rounds of applause. I want you to see not only the leadership of Na'i Bukhale, I want you to see the response of the populace. Now, I wonder what a lot of variables, El Salvador is not America, but you know what I do know? God is God. I do know God still hears an answer prayer. See, one of the major reasons why I wanted to have this conversation and bring this interview to your attention is to encourage you to refuse to allow the context that we live in to encroach upon your convictions. But you continue to stand for and more importantly cry out to God for both a righteous populace and righteous leadership. 110 nations send their delegations to a small, poor, central American country. Why? Because something is happening very differently here than what's happening in other places around the world.

    And I want you to see one of the major reasons is because their president is not ashamed to stand before the nation and say, we are faced with an impossible task. So we must pray. I'm not saying I know everything about him. All that he says and does is good. What I am saying to have 5,000 people killed in American three days. And Bob, you may have the numbers right in front of you. That's almost twice as many people who died in America in New York on 9 11. The world will tell you, uh, no, you can't do that. Today this is 21st century. This can't happen. I would simply say to you, don't allow your convictions to be dictated to by the world. He pointed out that he learned in the process of pursuing these gang members that MS-13 is satanic, that when killing babies or routine ritual sacrifice. We pray, thank you. Obviously the numbers 2,996, close to 3,000. The president led the nation in praying for the nation and in short order, in a short order, things change. Brothers and sisters, again, I just wanna encourage you. God has a final say of what happens in our country, not prognosticators, not talking heads, God does. If we wanna lead our nation in a particular direction, we should lead our nation in crying out to our Lord, our Lord, and lead our nation in righteousness.

    Say a few words about Senator J.D. Vance, I know for a fact that wicked forces and Democrat party were preparing themselves to employ a full-on class warfare assault. That's what they want to do. I mean, it's not the new. It's the same old thing. They just went to repeat the same old strategy. But with JD Vance, you have a man who was born in the Appalachian Mountain Region in Ohio, Dyrt poor. His own family suffered both the rigors of outsourcing manufacturing in our nation and the opioid epidemic was somehow, some way he made his way from other poverty to Yale. He wrote a book called the title of it, the Hill is Hillbilly Elegy. I've discussed that book before the book came out in 2016. And I believe what former president Trump is attempting to do is head off, is a political strategy to head off the Democrat efforts to employ class warfare. Because while you say you are the part of the working man, we have evidence of working family coming from other poverty to ascend to the ranks that he is now. I think former President Trump is also attempting to head off a sector of Americans decided has been relegated to the margins heterosexual males. We have a younger man who's married, he and his wife, who shouldn't they, their three children. So I think it was a politically pragmatic selection. I believe I understand it. I had hoped for someone who would be more, I would say more overtly and demonstrably inclined to serve as a meter, a counterbalance to President Trump's inclinations to heed the concerns of the Christians in our country, but I understand this election.

    And I think ultimately it'll be a good choice. just today, Senator JD Vance published the reauthorization of his bill to outlaw mutilating children, sterilizing them and chemically castrating them in the name of transgender ideology, which is a good step. But I did hope for others. And I can share names, I don't necessarily think that's helpful with this juncture. I understand this election. I hope for someone different. But as I began the program saying, my hope is not in the political processes. My hope is in the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. And I believe, I believe that God can do in our nation what he has revealed in scripture that he could do. And what El Salvador and President Naubu Kelly is revealing is that I was facing an impossible task. I didn't know what to do, so we I believe that could happen in our nation as well. I'm grateful for what the Lord has done through Him and others in El Salvador, but I believe that God has a final say to what happens in our country. This is, we are living in Bible days, folks. We are living in Bible days. As I mentioned, the Republican Party stance, stands, abandoning the sanctity of life platform, planks, and other things concerned me, but the order of the day and every day for us to cry out to the war."
