    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, everyone. Welcome to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton, the third here with you joined by the corner contingent right across from me today. He's ventured out of the, the lurches of the screening room into the studio, some might say into the full light of day. You're perpetually recovering friendly neighborhood with a holic Mr. Marty Sparks, ladies and gentlemen, is manning the controls this evening. So there's any problems blame Marty. Now I'm just waiting. We also have with us produce extraordinary in the screening room often imitating ever duplicated the Rio J. Mac. And we are ready to rock and roll with today's edition of the program on this Super Tuesday. It's where many are participating in primary elections all across the country. Today's program, I think it's a very important program because we're going to take a look into some history to show the significance of things that go awry in the past, how they end up having contemporary consequences. But we'll get to that in a moment. At this very moment, many of you, if not most of you are transitioning from your part time jobs where you generate an income to your full time jobs, your full time jobs where you cultivate an outcome. And as you make that transition, it is vitally important, vitally important, that you understand the primacy that God places on family.

  2. 2:04

    The first institution that God created, first human institution was the family with the marriage at the center. The first command given to mankind was issued within the familial context before there was an order of priests, before there was an order of prophets, before there was monarchies, before where there was a modern iteration of civil government, the family is what God has ordained. It would be right to say that the first instance of governing structure was a family, and it is vitally important for us to understand that. All too often, many people sacrifice the family in an effort to win the world or appeal to the world or to ingratiate themselves to the world, not realizing that you have the real capacity to contribute to eternal destiny being shaped, as well as to guide temporal destiny right in your home. So as you are making your transition to your full-time jobs, brothers and sisters, I wanna remind you, what goes on in your house is far more important than what goes on in the White House. What goes on in your house is what God will hold you accountable for. You may not be able to control how many cones of ice cream that Mr. Robinette gets the partake of. you know, you, you, you, you, you cannot control how many talking heads were crying yesterday after the Supreme Court rendered a nine to nothing decision over something that is so basic. So honestly, in many ways, I felt like it was silly. It was silly to me the way the people were sick of fan take over. Oh, the state of Colorado will determine who is and who is not, you know, to quote the three dissenters, not not dissenters, but the three, Justice this is Katanjibon Jackson, Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor. They referred to him as an oath-breaking insurrectionist over and over and over. Well newsflash, ladies and germs, an individual state does not get to determine the constitution criteria for candidates for the presidency.

  3. 4:12

    Nevertheless, we are here. So as you are making your transition, remember what goes on in your house is far more important and what goes on in the White House. All right, to begin the program, we're going to go to 1 Corinthians, chapter 1. And we're going to read verses one through nine. And I specifically want to direct your attention to how many times, how consistently, how emphatically, the Apostle Paul goes to great lengths to affirm the body in Christ and Corinth that they are in fact, believers. I want you to take note of this, all right? 1 Corinthians 1-9, 1 Corinthians 1-9, here we go. Paul, as an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God and sausenese. Our brother, don't forget old sausenese now. He's also mentioned in the book of Acts. Look, that's a little homework for you, all right? Verse two, to the church of God, to the church of God, the Greek term there is echlesia, to the Church of God, which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints, haggios, by calling with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord in ours. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus. for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus, that in everything you were enriched in Him in all speech and all knowledge, even as the testimony concerned in Christ was confirmed in you so that you are not lacking in any gift, awaiting eagerly the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, who will also confirm you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ, God is faithful through whom you were called into fellowship with his son Jesus Christ our Lord.

  4. 6:29

    Now what I just read to you is a part of what's commonly described as in theological circles as the prologue to Paul's first canonical epistle to the Corinthians. You note over and over and over again the Apostle Paul affirms that the recipients of this epistle were in fact members of the Lord's echlesia to the church of God, which is at Corinth in verse two, it says, to those who have been sanctified in Christ, this is a reference to our positional sanctification. Remember these foundational theological truths, justification. We're justified by the grace of God alone. We are justified. We are saved by grace through faith alone. It is the finished work of Christ alone that justifies us. us. Sanctification, you have the two components, positional sanctification, being in Christ to where we are the beneficiaries of this dual imputation. Remember, our sin is imputed to Jesus Christ, which is why the sinless spotless lamb is bearing the sin guilt of the world. All right. His righteousness is imputed to us. So when we stand, the Lord views us as pure as a freshly driven snow being the benefactors and the imputees of Jesus Christ's righteousness. Praise be to God, not to be confused with the condition of our sanctification, as we are, which is progressive and continuing. So when Paul refers and pass tints to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, he's talking solely about those in Corinth, and he says later on, and to those in all the world, along with himself, who have received by faith the positional sanctification as a result of placing our confidence in Jesus Christ alone for eternal salvation.

  5. 8:33

    All right, Paul continues in the same verse two. And I'll read it again to the church of God, which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling. Guys, that is not an assessment of conduct. is a categorical description as a result of faith, not a result of works in which any man would boast. Saints by calling with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours. Here the Apostle Paul places his and Sosthenes' faith on the same par with the Corinthian believers, affirming repeatedly that these are in fact believers. Verse four, Paul says, I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus. Verse five that in everything you were enriched in him over and over and over you see Paul affirming the Corinthians as believers. Then he ultimately in getting to the conclusion of the prologue, refers to Christ who will also confirm you. Verse eight, confirm you to the end. It's blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. Verse nine, God is faithful to whom you were called into fellowship with his son. This is the effective gospel call over and over and over again. I hope you're getting the point. The Apostle Paul affirms the fact that these Corinthians were believers. Now, the Apostle Paul then spends the remainder of this epistle and even the second canonical epistle to the Corinthians confronting all manner of sinful issues. I will remind you that the Apostle Paul wasn't the only one who labored in Corinth, Apollos labored in Corinth as well.

  6. 10:35

    This is the word of God to where the Apostle Paul, as I said, affirms the fact that these Corinthians our believers. Then he goes through great lights confronting all manner of sinful issues. Stop and think for a moment. Think for a moment what the Corinthians would look like if they did not get the benefit of the discipleship ministry following their regeneration, following their conversion of the Apostle Paul and others whom the Lord dispatched to the Corinthians. Can you imagine? Think about the things that were confronted amongst the Corinthians. Can you imagine what they would have been without discipleship? My point here is that Jesus knew what he was talking about when he commanded his disciples to make disciples, not merely converts. Of course, it's vitally important that people are regenerated by the grace of God, by the Spirit of God. but the Great Commission is not merely, or I won't say merely, is not exclusively to evangelize. The Great Commission is to make disciples. Discipleship is the mandate from Jesus Christ. A disciple is a disciplined learner of the Lord Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, when things transpire, if you have a person, and sometimes the situation exists where you genuinely have people who have made authentic professions of faith, but then they have not been discipled.

  7. 12:42

    And in those circumstances, the situation can exist to where the non-disciples look just like the world. But then you also have an additional phenomenon where you have people who have been exposed to the Spirit of God, and this is where you have people who unfortunately yield themselves to mysticism and you have this kind of hodgepodge of all kind of things, pantheism and all these kind of things that seep in, because there's a failure of grounding and rooting in the word. The commission that Jesus gave us was to make disciples. Teaching the disciple to obey everything Jesus Christ commanded us. You've heard me say numerous times, one of the fundamental foundational necessities of disciple making is for you and me to be disciples ourselves. The Lord doesn't want us out here trying to sell something We haven't purchased teaching him to obey everything that he has commanded us. What is presumed there is that we are walking in obedience. This affirms what I say to you very often that the call to follow Christ is a call to live the lifestyle of worship. And the lifestyle of worship is typified at its pinnacle by obedience. Paul's visit to the Corinthians is an example of what can transpire when you have people who may genuinely be converted, but they may not be discipled because you look at all the issues the Apostle Paul confronted in their lives subsequent to a firm in the fact that they were fellow believers. The commission to make disciples is vitally important because the refusal to obey that command has dire, dire consequences. When we come back from the break, we're going to look at a little bit of history that shows how this really has played out in our own country.

  8. 14:45

    and see some of the current issues we're confronting as a result of a failure of discipleship historically in our country. I'd like to take a minute and have a heart to heart with you. If you're able, place your hand over your heart. Can you feel it? My strong heartbeat reminds me that I'm alive. See, it's the same for an unborn baby.

Reminder this weekend, I'll be joining the North Dallas Community Bible Fellowship for the men's breakfast on Saturday and Sunday by God's grace. I will deliver the sermon at the church. I am looking forward to that. I've said before, North Dallas has become a part of my family. And so I'm looking forward to visiting them again and spending time with them And in July, July 18th through the 20th, the Culture Proof Conference is here.

  9. 16:53

    Go to cultureproof.net where you can get all the information where you can register as we're talking about making the necessity of making disciples. This conference exists to help equip you to do that. There is a use of apologetics track. My wife will be directing that. And my soul looks forward to that conference. Go to cultureproof.net. That is Cultureproof.net to register. I've mentioned before, I'm eager to hear Dr. Jason Lyle, astrophysicist and apologist, frankly, who does an amazing, amazing job. The host pastor, Pastor Lee Brand, oh man, what a brother. This brother is Israel Wayne, who's been a blessing to my family. If you have not, I encourage everybody to get a copy of Israel Wayne's book, Education Does God Have an Opinion. Oh man, you need to check it out. Regardless what you stand on, the issue, you certainly need to be informed. Dr. Renton Rathbun will be there who is also an apologist director of World View Studies at Bob Jones University. Will and Mickey Addison will also be there. It's gonna be an amazing, amazing time. Go to cultureproof.net to register. Now I'm gonna go, as I mentioned to you previously, to talk a little bit about history. And these are things some of you may be aware of these facts. Some of you may not be aware of this information. But this comes by way of Jay Warner Wallace, Jim Warner Wallace who is a brother in the faith who is an apologist himself. If you're not familiar with Jay Warner Wallace, he actually has spoken at one of our early American Family Association's Marish and the Life Conferences. She spoke at one of those conferences. He is a former detective in Los Angeles.

  10. 18:53

    He is a homicide detective and he investigated cold cases. And when he was a detective, he was not a believer. He in fact was an atheist for a significant portion of his life. And he was challenged with the gospel and he sought to apply to the testimony of Jesus and to the gospels, the investigatory methods that he employed in order to investigate cold case homicides. And you can imagine what happened. Detective J. Warner Wallace put Jesus to the test and the detective ended up submitting his life to Jesus as a result of his investigation. Well in addition to him becoming a Christian himself, one of the things that was prevalent in his life that he had family members who were Mormons. And so he and I agree with this wholeheartedly often says the faith that we have can withstand scrutiny. And so he sought out to examine the history and information of Mormonism and actually did a deeper dive into other things. And so what you're going to hear is a portion of his presentation on Mormonism articulating why Mormonism is in fact, occult and is not Christianity. But he also hit some other points during this presentation concerning the history of several other heterodox spiritual traditions that began about the same time as Mormonism. I found that fascinating and I believe you will as well, and it'll help you to see how some other things have developed and it actually relates to the conversation we were just having about the necessity of the body of Christ being committed to disciple making.

  11. 20:54

    That proclamation of the gospel must be accompanied by disciple making. All right. Have a couple clips that I want you to hear. These will be audio clips. The first one is about two minutes long to where J. Warner Wallace explains a bit of the background and context in which Joseph Smith grew up. This is clip number one. Go. So let's look at the evidence related to the location from which Joseph Smith and the book of Mormon emerged. Now, remember, as we begin this, there are several points I want you to keep in mind. Four really, I think, in this first area of investigating the time in which Mormonism emerges. The first point is this. The second Great Awakening had already swept through New York. The famous second Great Awakening occurred in America from about 1790 to approximately 1845. The first Great Awakening, the plain old Great Awakening, occurred about 50 years prior to that. The second Great Awakening was really facilitated by a number of well-known now charismatic teachers and preachers, maybe the most famous of these is Charles Finney. It resulted in a tremendous religious excitement throughout New England. These folks were able to come in and stir up a crowd and use a particular method that was intentional with the hopes of bringing people to faith. Now a lot could be said about fitting in his methods, but I'm not going to get into that today. All we need to know is that this sweeping of the Grissek and Great Awakening through the northeast, it just resulted in all this excitement in New England. resulted in all kinds of activity in the Palmyra, New York area. We know that a church attendance and conversion records in the area of Palmyra, New York reflect a really strong growth starting in about 1824. Smith was born in this area in December 23rd, 1805, and he grew up in the midst of this religious revival. So you have to understand the setting. It's not as though this one boy, and even the early history as provided by the Mormon Church, would affirm that Joseph grew up in this state in his place where there was an incredible religious fervor and revival occurring as a result of the activity of those pastors and miniatures and preachers who were part of the second great awakening. All right, everybody with me so far. So he explains that Joseph Smith grew up in the Palmyra, New York area during basically the second great awakening.

  12. 23:30

    So he was alive and around with when lots of, you know, robust evangelism, further responses to what were happening to where there was an elevation of spirituality in our nation. This contributed to what shapes and what forms Joseph Smith. All right, keep that in mind. Keep that in mind. I'm going to go a little further. Clip number two, go. Is that these guys who led the second grade awakening, while they were great preachers, they sure as heck did not leave a lot in their wake in terms of guidance. Those preachers of the second grade awakening, they were certainly excellent communicators. I think their camp style revivals were designed specifically to get response from the people they were trying to reach. But the same preachers who were so good at bringing people to their knees and bring them into altar calls, they were much less than effective in establishing discipleship issues, discipleship processes after they converted all these people to Christianity. In the wake of the revival meeting, the new converts were for the most part on their own, as the local church systems were just not there yet. They weren't established, they weren't planted, they weren't developed well enough to help teach and mentor those who were interested in learning more about that thing they committed to last night at the revival meeting. Now, much ink has been spilled. Much many dialogues have been pursued. Many conversations have been engaged in concerning the second great awakening. But how often has the body of Christ, frankly, had conversations about the discipleship efforts that accompanied or followed the second great awakening? Now, you heard Jim Warner Wallace, and that clip say, really, that really weren't too discipleship efforts employed. There weren't, there, there wasn't much done by a way of establishing efforts to disciple people who were responding to what was presented in many of the camp meetings and the revival presentations. Similar to what I said in the first segment, what would the Corinthians, the Corinthian believers look like if they had not been presented with discipleship instruction by way of Paul and the Apollos and others after their regeneration. What does America look like following a second-grade awakening with not much discipleship established? And before we get into simply surmising the shared opinions, let's again consider what Jesus commanded us to do see in many ways an objective and I don't mean a subjective and and and I love the body of Christ I don't want anybody to think I'm trying to slam on the church or anything like that but what else do you describe how else do you describe a phenomenon where you have a second grade awakening void of discipleship accompanying it at a minimum you see a spiritual vacuum what did Jesus explain when he said a house being swept clean to where the demons are excised demons go about walking in arid places, having no place to go returns.

  13. 27:30

    And the return is what? And I'm sharing this because I know lots of people who are, and I mean, I love these brothers and sisters, man. They're crying out to the Lord for revival and in our country and things of that nature. And I appreciate these brothers and sisters, but I often challenge them. It cannot simply be an emotional phenomenon that we seek The commission of the Lord's bride is to make disciples. It's not to diminish the significance of evangelism, not at all, but to understand the parable of the soils. What happened to the seed that fell among the thorns, easily choked by the plants. What about the seed that when the sun hit it, what happened? This is what I'm saying. This is what I'm saying. The second great awakening, regardless of, you know, I'm not gonna take time now to talk about Charles Finney the methods and all that kind of stuff. What happened following accompanying it? There's a void there. There was a void there. Now go a little further. One more clip from J one a while is it's clip number three. Go. So as a result of this, a number of unorthodox variant and deviant forms of Christianity emerged in this same area in which Mormonism emerges. Mormonism is only one movement that came along as a result of this. At the Because at the very same time, in addition to Mormonism, you have the evangelical Christian church in Canada, the Christian church, the disciples of Christ, the Seventh-day Adventist church, you know, that's from which you get Jehovah's Witnesses and the Cumberland Presbyterian church, all these different movements, church movements and religious movements, variations of Christianity, many of which are unorthodox, they all emerge at the very same time in the very same region as a result of and in response to the Second-Great Awakening.

  14. 29:41

    Oh boy, did you know that? Some of you, I know have known that, but I know some of you listening to me right now. You didn't know that. You didn't know that Mormonism and Jehovah's Witnesses all came from the same portion of the country at about the same time, following the second grade awakening. These are examples of what happens when you have an awakening with no discipleship, brothers and sisters, what you have. And again, I'm not talking about the world, the world is gonna world. Y'all know I say this all the time, the world is gonna world. But I'm saying, what about the body of Christ? With the indwelling of the Spirit of God, with his word, armed with his word? Why weren't there brothers and sisters crying out? That this has to be anchored in discipleship. We need to ground these babes and who may have genuinely given their lives to Christ. They need to be grounded and rooted in the Lord's word. What's the most effective deception? A little bit of truth. swirled in the bunch of lies. And so a lot of the cults that have gripped people started within the wake of the second great awakening. What we are confronting today, and lots of our young people, because that's just be clear about something God has hardwired mankind to worship. And so there are lots of younger people in America that they have a religious zeal for rebellious ideations. You know, you have climate zealots, and you have those who worship the trees and young people over and they wanna be a part of something real, a part of something that is worth something, that's because we are hardwired to live for something beyond ourselves. But what has happened is that there's been a counterfeit spirituality that has set foot.

  15. 31:43

    There is a prevalence of humanism and self worship really. An author coined the phrase moralistic therapeutic deism to where people are not worshiping the God of the Bible, The chair picking things that they prefer, the stuff that they don't like, leave it aside, and really creating their own religions and when the ultimate reality is themselves, that they are God. I see this as a modern iteration of the things that have happened in our past to where cults formed in the wake formed in America, cults formed in America in the wake of the second great awakening. When you stop and think that Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormonism and these cults, and I'm gonna say it like it is, a spiritual vacuum was created and the old deluder infiltrated and it corrupted the formation of the church, which had downstream consequences in our nation in the same thing in many ways as happening now, there must be a commitment to disciple-making because the embracing of CRT and things like that is religious zealotry. Hamilton Quarter podcast and one-minute common terrors are available at aFR.net back to the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio. Welcome back to the Hamilton Corner, Abraham Hamilton the third here. I just wanted to share that with you just because it really gripped me when when putting on being able to plot on like a timeline when you see the the sit and see of these things. And really how they were forged in the wake of the second great awakening, man.

  16. 33:49

    It really sheds light on what's happening now. And as I said, like this, this pension to embrace critical theory, this, you know, I've explained before that critical theories are overarching ideology, that critical race theories are subset, critical queer theory is a subset of critical theory, all of these things were ideologies that were promulgated for the express purposes of, as Gramsci said, severing the root of the geodeo-Christian ethos to allow a nation to be overthrown. That was the objective. And as I said yesterday, when Georgie Lukox advocated for the use of sex education for children, really was to pervert children, to pervert their minds and have them engage and pervert the conduct. He called it cultural That's what he called it. Cultural terrorism. He recognized that by unleashing the lust of the flesh on children prior to their mental spiritual and even in many instances physical maturity to navigate it, that it would terrorize existing society. And that is exactly what he sought to accomplish. So having, you know, experimented in a small scale on one small European nation, they realized, oh, this works. spread queer critical theory or critical queer theory all over the world. That led to the lobbying efforts of the American Psychological and American Psychiatric Association to try to sever the concept of sex from gender all of this is a part of a plan. Then once they effectively had people begin to use the term gender to refer to people because historically we didn't use the term gender to refer to people. At best we refer to inanimate objects. This is why in the United States of America all of our laws, prohibit the discrimination on the basis of sex, because sex was understood to be a man and a woman. I'm just telling you the history. And so then all of that happened to where they bifurcated sex and gender, referring to sex being biological and gender being mental. And then there you go, gender ideology. Anyway, all of that was an effort that's intentionally promulgated to cause cultural chaos, but the cultural chaos exists for the express purposes of overthrown in a society is what I'm saying.

  17. 36:12

    So many of our young people find themselves clinging to causes because God has hardwired us for worship, hardwired us to invest ourselves in things that are bigger than us. So, and of course, the bivocation of gender and sex is complete buffoonery. They have not, that is not the product of a scientific experiment. That's not the, that is a product of a lobbying campaign and a PR campaign, which is why you heard me say, and I will continue to say, you know, and you have a right to your delusions, but you cannot compel me to live by that. You are not going to compel me to tell a lie in order to affirm the truth. Not gonna happen, not gonna happen. But again, I'm pointing this out though, because the leaning, the penchant to embrace counterfeit theology, it occurs when there's a prominent spiritual vacuum, prominent spiritual vacuum. is not, it shouldn't be lost on us in Romans one when God leaves out his case against humanity through the Apostle Paul. The first iteration of that rebellion is man places himself in the position of God. It always comes down to God's word or man's word. All right. Today, interestingly enough, Kirsten cinema currently the United States senator from Arizona announced that she would be leaving the Senate at the end of this year. Yes, you know, she is she she is tired of being in the middle of these partisan rankings. You know, that's what that's what she said. So at the end of this year, she is going to withdraw from the US Senate in her announcement of her resigning from the Senate or not resigning but her announcement that she would not run for re-election at the expiration of her current term, which ends this year. She said this quote in 2017 I warned we were approaching a crossroad. Our democracy, see there we go. Our democracy. I know some of y'all may get tired of me saying this but even if I'm the lone voice crying in the wilderness I'm gonna cry it. Guys words have meanings. The consistent effort by certain people to refer to our nation as a democracy is intentional. We do not live in the democracy. We live in a constitutional republic with democratic features. There are features of our nation that are democratic. Our nation is not democratic. Our nation is a republic.

  18. 39:19

    The distinction between a republic and a democracy is that in a republic, there is an objective standard set of law that that transcends and supersedes the will of the people in order for that law to be changed. The people would need to change the law. You understand? There will republics in the world prior to the United States of America, we are a constitutional republic. So our central objective transcendent source of law is a US Constitution. If we have a problem with the Constitution, there are mechanisms in place to change it, but you cannot ignore it. You cannot violate it. You cannot run afoul of it and still be a law abiding citizen. So it really sickens me when people, especially those that should know better. This is a sitting US Senator, but she refers to our nation as a democracy. That's intentional. It's intentional. Because they want to express something that is not true about our country. That the will of the people is preeminent. The will of the people must be subjected to our Constitution. If the people do not like something in the Constitution, we're supposed to change it, but not subvert it. But they want to skip that step. Anyway, I'll get back to her announcement. to her quote, quote, our democracy was weakened by government dysfunction and the constant pull to the extremes by both political parties. I promised I would do my best to fix it to protect and defend our Constitution to listen to others without judging to focus on what unites us and to make American lives better through listening, understanding and compromise. We delivered tangible results that made America safer, stronger and more prosperous, yet despite modernizing our infrastructure, ensuring clean water, ensuring clean water, delivering good jobs of safer communities, Americans still choose to retreat farther to their partisan corners." In quote, she said more things, but I find it funny that in her announcement as to why she's withdrawing, it doesn't miss an opportunity to insult the American people. She's basically saying, in spite of my best efforts to be a uniting healing force, the American people seem further committed to retreat to their partisan corners. You know, I'm just, I'm sick of talking here, is, man, it would be very nice if we had people who were statesmen.

  19. 41:51

    What about truth, Christian cinema? What about truth? Does truth have any bearing on your functioning government? Or is it just a matter of, well, this party wants this, this party wants that? Because what happens, and we talk about this when we discuss Hegel with the Hegelian dialectical process, right? Hegel's, Hegel was a committed Marxist, right? When he presented, and often another description of what was the moving of the Overton window. You know, we talked about it before, what Hago promulgated is that you as an activist or what became the description of a community organizer, that you present a thesis, right? I want to move left, anticipating the corresponding presentation of an antithesis. I want to move right. Well, and then the community organizer, the champion, the white horse, the Kirsten cinema, come riding in, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah. Why don't we go in the middle? That's called the synthesis only for the Hegelian as soon as the synthesis is embraced the Hegelian once again presents a new thesis further left the predictable antithesis Will say right, but right at this junction now is where the middle used to be Then a new synthesis Come in the middle from the second presentation and guess what's happening every time we're moving further and further and further left You see, this is why the Republican Party used to oppose illegal immigration in total. Now you have people like former Senator John McCain and others saying we just need a Republican version of, but using Obamacare, you know, Republicans used to oppose. Oh, we don't need government healthcare. Now you have Republicans saying we just need to have Republican version of government health.

    I used to have Republicans remember this. And these, this bygone era, Republicans used to say, homosexual marriage would destroy America. When's the last time you heard a Republican candidate for office say that? I'm just telling you. If Marty comes up to me and say, hey, hey, I got an idea. Why don't I shoot you in the head? And I say, Marty, are you tripping? And then Marty comes in, all right, let's just be reason. That's compromised, all right. I want to shoot you in the head. You don't want to be shotted all. That's compromised. shoot you in the knee. That would be a compromise, right? Is that a reasonable compromise? Y'all give the point that I'm making. It's insane. Listen, compromise is not an objective in and of itself. Virtue, truth. What about that? What about that? Another bit of information, which I thought this was significant. Do you realize that as it stands right now, as I am talking to you, we have gotten ourselves into such a whole with the national debt that we have reached a place to where every 100 days the United States of America incurs an additional $1 trillion in debt. Do you realize that? We have a trillion dollars every 100 days to where our interest payments on the debt are outpacing GDP. Guys, this cannot continue. This cannot continue. This cannot continue. And I brought this up because Jordan Peterson scheduled to testify this week at the House of Representatives on the collusion between governments and banks and specifically some of you may recall the remember the Canadian trucker convoy the Canadian trucker convoy was protesting the draconian lockdown measures that Kaiser Trudeau and others were imposing and you know Jordan Peterson is Canadian but do you remember how Justin Trudeau So he eliminated the trucker convoy.

    You remember? Frows their bank accounts. Frows their bank accounts. Jordan Peterson described that as the government stealing people's money. But the theft could only be accomplished with the consent of the banks. So he's coming to our Congress to testify against this. And I'm presenting this because what do you think happens when a nation gets itself in such a pickle to where every hundred days is a hundred there's a trillion dollars more in debt guys that house of cards can't continue and that's right i call them Kaiser Trudeau yeah that's Kaiser i mean do say it outright the pandemic gives us an opportunity to implement our pre pandemic plans what do you think it's beyond our government to desire to freeze american citizens accounts do you know that there are people regressives in our country that are literally saying that our government needs to impose additional taxes on people's 401Ks because that's additional money that hasn't been taxed properly. Now people only got 401Ks because the government promised that you could invest your money here for retirement in this way to allow it to grow so that you can provide for yourself in retirement. But do you realize that they're regressive agitating attempting to appeal to have law changed to where the government says, oh my bad, I know I told you that you could grow your money tax free there but I didn't mean that. We go ahead and take some of that. Guys, we are not going toward we are in the doldrums of America embracing the full tenet of the communist manifesto, but it's being implemented in a piecemeal fashion that's causing too many to fail to recognize what's actually happening.

    Thanks be to God, however, that our hope doesn't rest in Washington DC, and we're not waiting for an election to profess who is Lord, God, and King. Glory to the Most High, Jesus Christ.
