Watch faith based films together to strengthen your family's walk with God
>> Dr. Jessica Peck: Hey, friends, it's Jessica Pack. Doctor, Nurse, Mama. As your one minute parenting coach, what are you watching with your family? Philippians4.8 tells us, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy. Think about such things. Watching faith based films can be a great way to immerse your family in stories that align with God's values, opening up conversations that point to truth and inspire faith. This week, ask yourself, are the films we watch building up our faith or distracting from it? Are we choosing movies that encourage virtue and promote positive messages? Faith based films can offer an opportunity to enjoy entertainment that reflects God's love, grace, and truth. What if you made it a regular habit to watch movies together that not only entertain but also strengthen your family's walk with God? Try it out and I'll see you on the Doctor Nurse Mama show here on American Family Radio.

>> Ed Vitagliano: You know, those Canadians are like, yeah.
>> Tim Wildmon: I think they're superior. Yeah, I'm gonna have to jack my seat up here. I don't know. I can't. I feel like a little kindergartner in front of my principal here. Now I feel better now we're speaking.
>> Fred Jackson: At the same level.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yes, we are. Yeah.
>> Wesley Wildmon: What happens is, obviously there's other radio programs throughout the day, and so we get. We get different chair heights and people come in here. People come in. Somebody's already messed with, quote, my computer.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah. Or my chair what's always funny to me at church is if you're. If you're able. If you're able to watch, a. We all do this. In every church in America that I've ever been to, people sit in the same place, basically, if they can and when they can't. And a visitors come in and unbeknownst has sat in the seat of somebody that got their normal place. they may not say anything, but you can see the visceral reaction.
>> Wesley Wildmon: It's a topic of discussion at lunch.
>> Tim Wildmon: You can see the reaction. Yes, you can see the reaction. Hey. Well, walk up to the seat. Huh? Oh, there's. Oh. Welcome to our church. Would you scoot down?
>> Ed Vitagliano: That's not what I say.
>> Tim Wildmon: What do you say, we sit here?
>> Ed Vitagliano: I'd say this is our seat.
>> Tim Wildmon: You just lay it right after.
>> Ed Vitagliano: You're gonna have to move, like it or lump it. Well, and if you have a, if you have a. A church that's usually pretty close to being full.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Then visitors are always going to be in somebody's seat.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.
>> Ed Vitagliano: And it just depends on how well.
>> Tim Wildmon: I got with the ushers who know we sit there. Yeah. They still take a visit.
>> Ed Vitagliano: They should play defense. no, you can't sit.
>> Tim Wildmon: They need to have a section for visitors.
>> Ed Vitagliano: There you go. You know, separate.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah. Into the. The off to the side.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Oh.
>> Tim Wildmon: Kind of, you know, kind of like commit an offering. Kind of like masks start paying to sit there. I got no problem with that.
>> Wesley Wildmon: Like a mass section during COVID and a non mask section.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah. Segregation.
>> Fred Jackson: You could just label. Just label that section.
Do you think that's a good welcoming program for a church
Strangers.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, Just put a little sign up there, say welcome, strangers.
>> Wesley Wildmon: What's the.
>> Tim Wildmon: You sit here.
>> Wesley Wildmon: What is a pilgrim or passing through or.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, there you go.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Aliens and strangers.
>> Tim Wildmon: If you want to start tithing, we'll move you up. Other than that, don't complain. Do you think that's a good welcoming program for a church?
>> Ed Vitagliano: Absolutely. What could go wrong?
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Yeah.
American Family Radio features Fred Hamilton on today's show
>> Tim Wildmon: All right, all right, all right. We got, a lot to talk about today. Thanks for listening to American Family Radio. Tim, Ed Wesley and Fred and, Abraham Hamilton iii, who is the host of the Hamilton Corner each afternoon here on American family radio from 5 to 6 o' clock central. He's also a, constitutional attorney. He will be with us and we'll see what comes up with brother Abe when we talk to him. what's leading the news, Fred?
>> Fred Jackson: Oh, I don't know.
>> Tim Wildmon: You don't sound very happy, Fred. Not very positive.
>> Fred Jackson: I tell you what, if you are a Democrat. you are celebrating today. we've been talking about the elections that are, were upcoming and they were held yesterday. And, in New York City. New York City and Virginia and New Jersey. it is an understatement to say that the Democrats did. Well, let's start with probably the most high profile race and that was the mayor of New York City. Zoran Mamdani is the mayor elect of that, the largest city in the country. And it wasn't a surprise that he won because all the polls were saying he was way out in front. But last night he had reason to celebrate. Here's a little bit of his victory speech cut number one.
>> Ed Vitagliano: For as long as we can remember, the working people of New York have been told by the wealthy and the well connected that power does not belong in their hands. If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him. I am Muslim.
>> Wesley Wildmon: I am a democratic socialist.
>> Ed Vitagliano: I refuse to apologize for any of this.
>> Fred Jackson: Yeah, so that is, Mom, Donnie, Zoran Mamdani last night celebrating, he says.
>> Tim Wildmon: A Muslim because 1. What if somebody said, I am a Christian and I. Then they would be. The media would be saying, oh, my goodness, can't bring religion nationalist.
>> Wesley Wildmon: And you can't bring religion.
>> Tim Wildmon: Don't bring corruption into politics, but you can.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Well, I think, I think that was directed at President Trump too. I think he's saying, I, President, Trump doesn't like me because I'm a Muslim and a socialist. And I'm declaring that I'm both and I'm proud of it. And he obviously had a room full of his supporters.
>> Tim Wildmon: Okay, but do you understand what I'm saying?
>> Ed Vitagliano: Yeah, sure.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, yeah. Anyway, so, so he won. He won handily, right?
>> Fred Jackson: He won handily. Katy Pavlich is one of those Fox contributors. She talks about the fact this guy is a democratic socialist as we've been talking and he's out there. And Katy Pavlich thinks this guy is dangerous. Cut number eight.
>> Dr. Jessica Peck: But the fact is that Americans are still struggling with the prices that they have to pay for everyday items like groceries and gas. Now, his solutions to that will only make it worse. And more broadly speaking, this is not just about Mamdani, taking over New York City and getting into the mayor's office. This is about a socialist movement across the country that is very organized through the Democratic socialists. Last night, one of the biggest cheers he got during his victory speech was when he said a democratic socialist. And they have an organized movement that is ready to put candidates like Mamdani into blue districts ultimately to take over Congress, to take over city halls, to take over the White House potentially eventually. and so this is not just something that is isolated to New York City. This is a very powerful organized movement with lots of money that has been put into play here all over the country.
De Blasio is the most liberal mayor ever in New York City
>> Tim Wildmon: Okay. so my, my mom, Donnie won. and he, he's the most liberal mayor ever in New York City. And that's saying a lot because they had de Blasio. they've had Well they've had others. Oh now they had like.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Was it Ted Lindsay in the 70s, early 80s?
>> Tim Wildmon: Ted Lindsay, yeah, he was very. Anyway, so they it's. Go ahead.
>> Wesley Wildmon: Is. Would you classify someone who self proclaimed communist a liberal? No.
>> Tim Wildmon: Well, I don't know.
>> Wesley Wildmon: Communist.
>> Tim Wildmon: He's the most far left.
>> Wesley Wildmon: I put it that way. That makes sense.
>> Tim Wildmon: He's not a classical liberal and he didn't call himself one. He's a Democrat. That in fact they don't like liberalism. They don't. They, they don't. They consider them to be the old guard of the Democrat party which they're at war with. AOC has said as much.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Yeah.
>> Tim Wildmon: So anyway, so he won. So we'll see what happens next. There's three, four things that this guy is going to champion that are. I got to see where he goes with this and the ramifications. I think, I think we all kind of know where it's going to. He is very anti police. Yes. Okay. Like in defund the police now he back walked that backtrack that somewhat. because he didn't want to seem like he was for, against the police altogether. He back.
>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah, he did, he did. And I don't, Yeah. I don't understand why he would.
>> Tim Wildmon: But yeah, but, but m. He to get elected. Yeah. He wanted to attract some people who were worried about crime. It's by saying I'm not, I'm not completely against the police. But then, then he's for city run grocery stores.
>> Fred Jackson: That is correct.
>> Tim Wildmon: Now why would you do that?
>> Fred Jackson: Well, allegedly, allegedly that he says that will allow us to lower grocery prices. Now here's the problem with that. The groceries are going to come from outside of New York City. There aren't too many Henry's. There aren't too many vegetable gardens in New York City. They're going to have to still purchase at wholesale prices controlled by states like Iowa and Texas. So how is he going to do that it hasn't worked in other places.
>> Tim Wildmon: What does that do to Kroger and and other grocery stores who, who are in competition with one another. And then in comes this government run grocery store that sets the prices that, that are lower than, than the than the stores, I've just mentioned.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Well, so the pro, the problem is going to be that and to answer Fred's question, yes, these government run grocery stores will buy at wholesale prices from outside the city. But then the government of New York City will subsidize. Right, they'll subsidize the prices so they become quote, unquote, more affordable. So the prices. Yes. And those government run grocery stores go down. What Mamdani is saying is that will force Kroger, we'll use them as an example to lower their prices. Because they don't really need to have the prices where they're at. They're just price gouging, everyday American. Now they'll be forced to lower their prices. The fact is that the amount of profit these grocery stores, their profit margins extremely low. So they are not going to be able to lower their prices and stay in business because they're not getting government subsidies. Yes, they will go out of business in New York City or they will move out before they go out of business. And then all you'll have in New York City, probably some upscale places where the wealthy can buy their groceries. But you will have to have government run grocery stores all across the city. And then New York City will go broke.
>> Tim Wildmon: Wesley, Go ahead, Wesley.
>> Wesley Wildmon: Well, so I'm looking at his website and right here it says they want to freeze the rent. So. No, no paying rent.
>> Tim Wildmon: That's another thing.
>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah, yeah, no paying rent. They won't free.
>> Tim Wildmon: he's going to freeze the rent. He's going to set. Yes, he wants to set the price of rental, homes.
>> Wesley Wildmon: That's right.
>> Tim Wildmon: Right. Our apartments.
>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Can I, can I just do it before we go and say why that's a bad idea and is it going to work? Here's the thing. You freeze, artificially freeze rent and then you, the consequence of that is you now lessen the amount of rental property that's available. Because the only reason why people buy abandoned buildings, fix them up and then rent them out is so that they can make money. And if you freeze the rent, they can't make money so they stop buying buildings. This happened before when New York City had rent freezes. And also what happens is that people who own the buildings can't sell them because nobody wants to buy a building that you can't make money from renting. So you know what they did, and I think this was in the, in the 80s.
All this communist garbage always backfires because you can't cure human nature
They burn them. They, they commit arson so they at least get their insurance money. So all this, all this communist garbage always backfires because you can't, you can't cure human nature. No one's going to buy, no one's going to buy rental property if they're going to lose money.
>> Tim Wildmon: How about free busing?
>> Wesley Wildmon: Okay, that's number two. You got free busing then you've also got free child care. You've also got. We already mentioned city owned grocery store. So subsidized food or free child care. Yeah.
>> Tim Wildmon: And free what?
>> Wesley Wildmon: free public transportation.
>> Tim Wildmon: Oh, that'll work really well in New York. Free public transportation. I wonder who's going to be laying on all the seats.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Yep.
>> Wesley Wildmon: a massive increase in subways for wealthy New Yorkers. So they're.
>> Tim Wildmon: You go for it New York. You go for it. this, see how this is going to work out for you. I, my guess is he's not going to be able to do half that stuff.
>> Wesley Wildmon: And I hope he could.
>> Tim Wildmon: I hope he can at this point because we need all the world to watch or needs to watch it without.
>> Wesley Wildmon: It without a cost in the country.
>> Tim Wildmon: But if I'm an owner of a, an apartment complex for example, and I'm a landlord or I'm an owner of a apartment building and that's how I make a living, I don't see how it's constitutional for this guy to come in and say, set the rates for the, by the government and saying whatever losses I have, I have to absorb my, I have to absorb. Or is he going to say the government will pay you?
>> Ed Vitagliano: I don't know what the specific. Anyway plan.
>> Tim Wildmon: Free stuff for everybody. Doesn't work people. It just doesn't work out. This doesn't work. That's not the real world.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Well, it sounds good. Broke. If they do pay the difference.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.
>> Ed Vitagliano: If they says ah, you own the building, you bought it thinking that you could have whatever price you want for rental. Well we're going to freeze it here and whatever you would have had, we are going to make up the difference. That city is going to go broken.
About a third of New York City's population is born abroad
>> Tim Wildmon: Okay, one last thing in is and then I want to move on from talking about the mayor of New York City because I don't live there and they can do what they want to. obviously they will do what they want to the people in New York, but they're going to live. They're going to live to regret this, but go ahead and do it. It's kind of like, But I, will say this, what you're going to see more than anything else. And they've already got a problem here. This guy is a. Is an Alvin Bragg type person when it comes to law and order and crime. He believes in social justice to the hilt. And so you're not going to have almost anything prosecuted in New York. Why? Because he believes that the people, he believes the criminals have had an unfair shot at life. And they don't need to be. They don't need to be prosecuted by the law for their wrongdoings.
>> Wesley Wildmon: And it organically pushes out anybody with a moral compass or somebody that wants to do right. Because if, because if you're an officer, play this scenario. If you're an officer and you want to follow the law but the, But then, but you're in this case, your leaders are against you, then you're going to go, most likely you're going to be incentivized to go somewhere else where the community supports you. So then you're left with.
>> Tim Wildmon: Right. It's going to be bad actually back. Come back, see me in two years after this guy.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Let me just add this one other thing if you want to move on after that. because this is why I have a little bit of optimism that what's about to happen in New York City's not encouraging.
>> Tim Wildmon: Ed. That's what I'm calling you.
>> Ed Vitagliano: That's what I'm going to encourage.
>> Tim Wildmon: Encourage an Ed speak.
>> Ed Vitagliano: I don't think this is necessarily going to spread across the country because I'm looking at the New York Times and I can't click through to get. It's behind a paywall. But I can read this. This is the opening paragraph. It says about a third of the city's population was born abroad. Okay.
>> Tim Wildmon: Like instead of a man. And.
>> Ed Vitagliano: I would never call women broads.
>> Tim Wildmon: Oh, I misunderstood you. I'm sorry. Nor would I. I just thought I was trying to help you.
>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah, I'm sure you're bored.
>> Ed Vitagliano: You're trying to throw me one of those free.
>> Tim Wildmon: They were born in other countries.
>> Ed Vitagliano: They were born in other countries. And here's why I say that. Now, my mom, you know, I come from immigrants. My mom's family was first generation from Greece. My dad was third generation from Italy. I'm not saying immigrants or immigration is bad. I'm saying what we're seeing in places like New York City, we're going to jump over to, to Virginia, Northern Virginia, Atlanta. Okay. We're seeing the cargo. Some of these cities are shifting because people are moving from other countries, bringing their values that are not necessarily jiving with the rest of America. And they're voting those values and you're.
>> Wesley Wildmon: Going to see that legal, some, illegal.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Yes, I, I absolutely believe that. So that is something to keep in mind. A third, a third of the population of New York City is not, are not native born Americans. What are their beliefs and values?
>> Wesley Wildmon: Wow.
>> Tim Wildmon: this, speaking of that, I mean, you sound like it's a joke, but those people like my mama diamond and people like that, they don't believe you should have to, you should be a legal citizen to have to vote.
>> Wesley Wildmon: That's right.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Right.
>> Tim Wildmon: This how wackadoodle these folks are.
>> Ed Vitagliano: And they believe the government should pay for me. Yeah, that's why they came.
>> Tim Wildmon: Where are they going to get out? where is he going to get all this money? That's what everybody wants to know. Where is he going to get all this money? Because if he starts quote soaking the rich, guess what the rich are going to do. Florida.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Yeah.
>> Tim Wildmon: Or Long Island. Well, I don't know if Long island, that's part of the sea. But I mean they're going, they're going other places. They're not going to sit there. I don't care how they're bullied. You are. You don't want people taking your money. Right, right. so anyway, we'll see what happens there.
Virginia Democrat Abigail Spanberger will be the new governor
But, so that's what happened in New York City, last night.
>> Fred Jackson: Virginia Democrat Abigail Spanberger will, be the new governor.
>> Tim Wildmon: Well, we got some names here, don't we?
>> Fred Jackson: Yes.
>> Tim Wildmon: Zoran Mandami. And now we got what?
>> Fred Jackson: Abigail Spanberger.
>> Tim Wildmon: Okay.
>> Fred Jackson: All right. she won handily over her Republican competitor, Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earl Sears was, no problem there. So one of the things being watched also in Virginia was, the, Democrat who was running for Attorney general, we've talked about him, Jay Jones. You remember during the campaign it was discovered he made a couple of social media posts talking about killing a political enemy and his children.
>> Tim Wildmon: No, they were private text. Yep. Yeah, they weren't social media posts.
>> Fred Jackson: Texts. They were discovered.
>> Tim Wildmon: Right. But, there's a difference between posting on Facebook.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Right.
>> Tim Wildmon: And a private text. I just wanted to distinguish there. Anyway, go ahead. Yes.
>> Fred Jackson: Anyway, those texts went public, but it didn't seem to matter to the voters there. He, won handily over the existing attorney general there in Virginia, Jason Meyers. So, it was basically a clean sweep. By the way, the person who won the lieutenant governor last night in Virginia is a Muslim as well, a female Muslim, a woman Muslim. So it was a clean sweep. I was listening to Bishop Jackson last night. He was filling in for Abe Hamilton, and he was talking about the Virginia issue. Basically, politics in Virginia, driven by the heavy population in, Loudoun county, and in the north part of Virginia, which has a lot of government employees, and perhaps the government shutdown had something to do with how the vote went there.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, you know, I, think Virginia is a. Virginia's been a purple state, but, the Republicans shocked the world four years ago by winning all three, statewide elections. That is Governor, Lieutenant Governor and ag. But the Democrats blew them out of the water yesterday. And I almost say you could call Virginia blue state now. I mean, I think.
>> Ed Vitagliano: I think because of Northern Virginia, the rest of the states probably. Well, with some exceptions, yeah.
>> Tim Wildmon: Northern Virginia, they carry. Those aren't native Virginians. Okay. Those are. Those are people who moved in from out of the country or other states.
>> Ed Vitagliano: To work in D.C. yeah.
>> Tim Wildmon: So it's. It's a. It's a suburb, basically. It's become a suburb of Washington, D.C. which is 99% blue. Okay. That's just extending out into, into northern. I would. If I were Virginia, I would. I would, be willing to donate those counties to Maryland. Can you do that?
>> Ed Vitagliano: I don't know.
>> Tim Wildmon: The rich counties. Just say Maryland.
>> Ed Vitagliano: You want that tax base?
>> Tim Wildmon: Take them, please.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Virginia, take them. You want that tax base?
>> Tim Wildmon: I don't. Anyway, except for, I think, maybe Norfolk. Not Norfolk, but there's. There's a little part of the coast there in Virginia, and rich part of Richmond proper. And then, the suburbs of Washington, D.C. other than that, the whole state's red.
>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah.
>> Tim Wildmon: So. All right. We'll be back in a moment with more of today's issues on the American Family Radio Network. Stay with us.
Preborn Network clinics help women choose life through a free ultrasound
>> Ed Vitagliano: We're living in a time when truth is under attack. Lies are easy to tell, easy to spread, and easy to believe. But truth. Truth is costly. And nowhere is the cost greater than for mothers in crisis. When a woman is told abortion is her only option, silence and lies surround her. But when she walks into a preborn network clinic, she's met with compassion, support, and the truth about the life growing inside her. That moment of truth happens through a free ultrasound, and it's a game changer. When a mother sees her baby and hears that heartbeat, it literally doubles the chance she'll choose life. PreBorn Network clinics are on the front lines, meeting women in their darkest hour, loving them and helping them choose life and sharing truth. Friend, this is not a time to be silent. It's a time for courage, for truth, for life. Just $28 provides one ultrasound and the opportunity for a mother to see her baby to help her choose truth and life. Donate today. Call £250 and say baby. That's £250, baby. Or give [email protected] afr that's preborn.com afr.

President Trump said the shutdown was a big factor in the midterm elections
So we've been talking about the election, results, which, you know, I know, people are going, well, it all went Democrat and I'm going like, well, duh, these are all blue states. I mean, we surprised, except maybe Virginia, you might say it's a purple state. But, the fact that Democrats won in New York City and New Jersey is not going to be breaking news here. Okay, before we get to your thoughts on this, I wanted to, Abel wanted to quote, President Trump was asked about this, about the election results. he said, I think if you read the pollsters, the shutdown, we don't have this on audio. Right. the shutdown was a big factor. Negative for the Republicans and that was a big factor. he's the leader of the Republicans, right? Yeah. Okay. He's. But he's talking like it's their fault when he's the leader of the Republicans.
>> Ed Vitagliano: I think he's, I think he's explaining that. I don't think he's blaming the Republicans shut down.
>> Tim Wildmon: Well, no, no, he's not.
>> Ed Vitagliano: He's explaining the fallout, the consequences of the Republicans sticking to their guns.
>> Tim Wildmon: He said, I think if you read the poster, the shutdown was a big factor, negative for the Republicans, and that was a big factor. and they say That I wasn't on the ballot. And that was the biggest factor. but I don't know about that. But I was honored that they would say. Said that. That they said that. So is that in the quote?
>> Abraham Hamilton III: I was honored.
>> Tim Wildmon: That's what he said. That's what Trump said. He was honored. He's. Why are you laughing, Abe? You think he's not trolling right here? This is just. This is egomaniac coming out in Trump. This is amazing. He's done a lot of great things, but leper doesn't change spot. Is that what they say? Why are you laughing so much?
>> Wesley Wildmon: I think it's hilarious.
>> Tim Wildmon: What?
>> Wesley Wildmon: I think it's hilarious. I don't know if it's.
>> Tim Wildmon: Okay.
>> Wesley Wildmon: I don't. I don't know if it's the way you're saying it or the way you're reading it.
>> Tim Wildmon: I'll just read it. Like you said. This, this Fox News website, Trump added. And they say Trump's good on that any day. And they say that I wasn't on the ballot.
>> Ed Vitagliano: And that's why Republicans lost.
>> Tim Wildmon: And that was the biggest factor.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: He said that was the biggest fact.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yes, but. But I don't know about that. He said, but I was honored that they said that. All right. Is that funny? It's that funny to you?
>> Ed Vitagliano: No, I mean, it wasn't funny to me. I think, I think. What, what? I mean, I'm not saying that you.
>> Tim Wildmon: Can'T find Abe's laughing, Wesley's laugh. You're not laughing. I'm just funny to you?
>> Ed Vitagliano: No, because I think what. I think what President Trump was saying is that. I don't mean to put it this way, but he's the elephant in the room.
>> Fred Jackson: Right.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Okay. And that's, that's why Republicans won in Virginia, because his coattails, as it were, in 2024, were bringing Republicans along, even in places including battleground states, even in places where they might not ordinarily do as well. So.
>> Tim Wildmon: So he was there about it? well, he also said. Well, he also said, I'm, also. The Jews. He said where the reason. One of the reasons that they lost. Yeah.
>> Ed Vitagliano: he didn't say that.
>> Tim Wildmon: No, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
>> Ed Vitagliano: That's what our listeners to know.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, I'm just.
>> Ed Vitagliano: We're just joking around.
>> Tim Wildmon: You know, I'm playing on the joke that it's not funny oftentimes, but, you know, Jews are blamed for everything.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Yeah, they are.
>> Fred Jackson: Yeah.
>> Tim Wildmon: Go ahead.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: I just. I just found it funny because it just. It's almost like he can't help himself, you know, like. Well, they lost because I wasn't on the ballot. But the truth is, like Virginia, for example, Glenn Youngkin and Jason Mayare is one the. The year after he lost.
President Trump says Republicans didn't have a chance because he wasn't on ballot
>> Ed Vitagliano: Yeah. So that is true.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: He wasn't on the battle.
>> Ed Vitagliano: He wasn't on the ballot.
>> Tim Wildmon: That just. Bless his heart, you know, it's just. That's just. God love him, that's how he is.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: I know, but it's just he.
>> Tim Wildmon: He's like Republicans, didn't have a chance because I wasn't on the ballot yesterday. Or that's what he said. Anyway.
All right, let's talk about, um. What do we want to talk about? You got. You got distracted. I do that in
All right, let's talk about, What do we want to talk about?
>> Wesley Wildmon: You got. You actually set it up and then you went and you said before I do.
>> Tim Wildmon: I got distracted.
>> Wesley Wildmon: You got distracted.
>> Ed Vitagliano: You distracted yourself, though. I wouldn't brag about that.
>> Tim Wildmon: I do that in golf.
>> Ed Vitagliano: I do that just a regular life and distract myself. I would like to know what.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, you take over.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Well, I just like to know what Abe, thinks about, Mamdani. Zoran Mandani. Time to say this. We're gonna like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. We're gonna get really good at saying Zoran Mamdani.
>> Tim Wildmon: We may go. Zm.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: did you say Alexandria occasional cortex?
>> Tim Wildmon: No, but that's headed our direction this weekend. Polar cortex, Is that what you said? No, you said cortex. Right.
>> Ed Vitagliano: We are far away.
>> Tim Wildmon: No, that cortex is a vortex in November.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Oh.
>> Tim Wildmon: A lot of people don't know that. I went to. Well, I don't want to get distracted as well. No, I went into. I went to meteorology school for like a month, and then I had to drop out. And I learned this about cortex and vortex. So not. General public doesn't know this.
>> Fred Jackson: Right.
>> Tim Wildmon: So we can talk about it later. Okay, Back to your question.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Your professor was just. Just an old broad, wasn't she?
>> Tim Wildmon: Well, you said that. I didn't say that. All right. Talk to Abe about it.
Every major Democrat endorsed Mamdani. That would affect the rest of the nation
>> Ed Vitagliano: All right, so Abe, I just.
>> Tim Wildmon: Can we get serious? Go ahead and talk to Abe.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Yes, sir. So I'd like to know what you think about Mamdani's election. and second of all, do you think this points to a larger movement, for the, for the. That would affect the rest of the nation? You think this is a one off? You think it's just because of the particular circumstances in New York City? What's your take on Madonna?
>> Abraham Hamilton III: So I'll. I'll start with the latter. Latter part. First, I do think this is an indication of something with broader implications for the nation as a whole, because every major Democrat endorsed Mamdani.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: So the Mamdani platform, if you will, it's not hyperbolic to say it's the Democrat party's platform where you have the Democrat leader in the House of Representatives. You endorse Mom Donnie. You have every popular Democrat popular now, did Obama.
>> Tim Wildmon: I read where he didn't.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: He didn't say anything. But here's the thing. They either endorse Mom Donnie or didn't say anything. There has not been any Democrats who've come out and condemned any aspects of Zora Momdani's outward and maybe even said last night in his victory speech that he's pounding his chest saying that I'm a socialist. Yeah, he said it out loud.
>> Tim Wildmon: The Democrat socialist. I'm a Democrat socialist.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: I'm a Muslim. Which is brings me to another point that I. You either are. I, you are either a Muslim or a progressive, because you can't be both. When did you last time did you see a committed about Muslim support? Things like, oh, I don't know, homosexuality.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Right.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Transgender.
>> Tim Wildmon: That's a good point.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: And things of these things. So they both can't be true. You are either. Either you are a lukewarm Muslim, not truly devout, or you are a devout Muslim practicing the doctrine of ta.
>> Ed Vitagliano: That's right.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: In order to gain power. And all is all is the doctrine of TA in Islamic theology says you can lie in order to get Islam in power.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Right.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: So is that happening? And then the, the third thing is just because I, I, I can't escape the reality of this, having been aware of this process throughout history while we right now in Dearborn, Michigan and Hamtramck, Michigan, I had Israel Wayne on my show a couple weeks ago who lives in Michigan, to where he said in Dearborn, it's not formal Sharia law, but it's functional. Sharia law, where you have Christians in the year of our Lord 2025 were being stoned for trying to evangelize. In Dearborn, we just had a terrorist plot that was just caught up. And it's amazing that you had all of these news stories saying a terrorist plot, but the criminal complaint says they were working for isis. But none of the news stories mentioned isis. And this is on. They called it in their private chat. Pumpkin day. We need to do this on Pumpkin Day. This all just happened. So my question is what I'm pondering knowing the trajectory of Islam throughout the history in every place where they've gained prominence, it was, we are immigrants, we are hospitable, we are peaceful, we are neighborly.
>> Tim Wildmon: Until they're not.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Until there's a critical mass population wise, right into where they can enforce what they really believe. And then it's domination with jizzy attacks and dhimmis. Is that happening in our own country? I can't help but think about it.
>> Tim Wildmon: Right, yeah. Well, France is 10% Muslim. Now. We see what's happening in the UK and other Western countries.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: just 10%. But Ham Traming, Michigan is 60%.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Yeah, yeah.
>> Wesley Wildmon: Some places it's much higher than 10%.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, yeah.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: But happened in the France, I'm saying.
>> Tim Wildmon: For the whole country of France.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Yeah. The big population, and it started somewhere in Dearborn, is a majority of Muslims. Now Hamtramck is more percentage wise, even though it's the smallest city than Dearborn on the right outside of Detroit, Michigan. I mean, this is happening right now. So I can't help but, you know, consider all of that.
>> Tim Wildmon: You're right that a, a devout Muslim, somebody who follows Islam, and is not going to champion the LGBTQ cause.
>> Ed Vitagliano: they're not even allowed to support democracy or a republic.
>> Tim Wildmon: That's right.
>> Ed Vitagliano: They're not allowed to support it. They're not allowed to vote.
>> Tim Wildmon: I think he's a Muslim, by culture. I don't think he's a practicing Muslim. Does he turn toward Mecca five times a day? Does he wear a beard and not a mustache?
>> Wesley Wildmon: This is why you don't want to elect a Muslim, because they do have. What Abe is mentioning is that they can lie in order to.
>> Tim Wildmon: Communists do too. You know, you can lie. You can lie. Well, human, human, humankind lies to get an advantage. I just, I just, I want to know when the media is going to come out and question, them all about, about being a Muslim nationalist. Well, you know, a Muslim internationalist.
>> Wesley Wildmon: Or what about inner intertwined in his.
>> Tim Wildmon: This. Remember this guy has said.
Headline says Cuomo dominates Jewish vote in final Quinnipiac poll
This guy has said out. He's going to be unabashed. Now you talk about. He's barely been, trying to soften his views for the general public. Now he's elected. He's going to go full throttle, as much as he can on this stuff. And he said which stuff?
>> Ed Vitagliano: Now you talking about Muslim stuff or the.
>> Tim Wildmon: Well, I'm talking. No, not Muslim stuff. I'm talking about all the communist stuff that he's advocating for. By taking by the gut bait, basically to simplify the government taking over everything. And free, free stuff for everybody. and also basically soft on crime. Yeah, it's going to be anti police. Yeah, Anti police. But what I wanted, what I was talking about was this is a guy who has said to the public that if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel lands his plane in New York City, the New York City Police Department will arrest him.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Yes.
>> Tim Wildmon: And hold him to send him to the Hague, I guess, or, charge him with, with International Criminal Court. Yes, yes. Think about that for a minute. the Prime Minister of Israel, he said he will arrest him if he lands in New York City. Let me remind you, I don't know if Benjamin. He would probably, if he was. He probably will have to come and speak at the UN should he remain Prime Minister sometime in the near future. But, what is also bizarre about this, this is why I don't. What I'm about to say is why I don't think he. I think the Muslim part is just cultural and not going to be a part of his agenda. This is my own take. It's going to be more the communist part Democrat, socialist part. That's going to dominate him is because he, has, he has, he has. Because he's so closely identified with all these other left wing causes like the LGBTQ causes. I don't think he's going to use Islam to. Because. Oh, I know what I was going to say. I lost there. But I fooled all of you, didn't I? And I was about to lose on that fooling y'. All. But I was going to say that he, In New York City there are more Jews than there are anywhere in the world except Israel. So the fact that this guy was able to win in a town where probably 20% of the population is Jewish, I'm talking m. About in the city proper, okay, the voters, the five boroughs is, I wonder how the Jewish vote went in this election. See if you can type that in. Because I think if, if they were really worried about him promoting his Islamic beliefs any more than he would like promoting Sharia, for example, he would be, The Jews would not vote for him. but I think he probably. I'm going to guess he got 50% of the Jewish vote. I'm just going to guess, do you.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Anyway, okay, this headline I. This is a. Apparently a Jewish independent non profit newsletter, called Forward. Headline says Cuomo dominates Jewish vote in final, Quinnipiac poll before the election. We may not have election breakdowns for a week. the see Cuomo with 60% of Jew, likely Jewish. The support of likely Jewish voters. And Mamdani, democratic socialist and strident critic of Israel, with 16% of likely Jewish voters saying they were going to vote for him. Now, as to, as to who actually went out to vote and how they voted, we may not find out for a while.
>> Tim Wildmon: Fred, go ahead.
Lara Trump said young women were behind Mondami's victory in New York
Next story.
>> Fred Jackson: Okay, I'm on again.
>> Tim Wildmon: Stay with us. Abe.
>> Fred Jackson: Yes, Lara, Trump was on Fox and Friends this morning. Lara Trump.
>> Tim Wildmon: Never heard of her.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Laura.
>> Fred Jackson: Laura. Yeah, I'm sorry, Spelling here. She said this morning that young women were behind the, Mondami victory in New York. I found that kind of interesting. Let's hear what she has to say. Cut seven.
>> Speaker H: look at the New York City mayoral race and at least what the exit polls tell us, the vast majority of the people who elected a Democratic socialist with communist ideas to New York City's mayor's office were young women. So this is a big deal. We know that Donald Trump performed incredibly well, and Republicans did last election cycle, specifically with young men. But we've got to bring these young women in. And I think the idea that you either have to choose a path of starting a family, being a mother, or a career is erroneous. And I think we have to continue to talk to young women out there about the fact that you can do both. I'm proof of that. Erica Kirk is proof of that. Look, all across Donald Trump's administration right now. There are so many women who are proof of that.
>> Fred Jackson: I'm not sure what she was saying there. That Republicans, are perceived to be down on women or oppressive of women, and that Mamdani, for some reason won their vote because, he is more liberal. Maybe it was the universal free daycare. Ah, all that sort of thing. But I found that rather interesting. Why would they be deceived? Women.
>> Tim Wildmon: She said they were deceived.
>> Fred Jackson: Well, a huge number of his supporters were women.
>> Tim Wildmon: Mondami.
>> Fred Jackson: Yes.
>> Tim Wildmon: Again, I'm sorry, Abe, go ahead.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Feel free to jump in there. That, that is not something that is aberrant in terms of electoral trends around the country. if you look at, you know, I don't know how this goes on today's issues, but she shall never be president. The remix. There's certain names that are provoking On Hamilton Corner. The large percentage of her supporters were young women. For Kamala Harris. I'm, talking about Hillary Clinton first. Kamala Harris. Democrat voters largely now have become women, and particularly younger women are skewing toward the Democrat Party.
>> Ed Vitagliano: And it would be fair to say that young men are growing increasingly conservative.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Conservative. That's right.
>> Ed Vitagliano: But young women are growing increasingly leftist.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: That's right, that's right. And so this, the electorate in New York City already skews, right?
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: So to have young women driving Zora Momdani to victory is consistent for the Democrat partying voting bloc across the country. That's not something that's aberrant. But to Fred's question, why, why is this happening? Largely, one of the major drivers is the abortion issue for young women, which.
>> Tim Wildmon: That'S not even on. That's not even a. I'm not, sorry, I'm not dis.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Even on a table, on a ticket anymore.
>> Tim Wildmon: I mean that, that issue is, is off the table. it's already been resolved, so why, well, why would that.
>> Ed Vitagliano: It's, it's, it's resolved legally because of the Supreme Court ruling. But we all see, we all see kind of quote unquote man on the street interviews or on college campuses, and young women have not let it go. In fact, they've become more radical on the issue of abortion because of the Dobbs decision. They see it as having been instigated by Republicans.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, but in New York City.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Well, but this is, this is part of their ideological view of the world. That Republicans are anti women. That, you know, they watch handmade. Handmade, Handmaid's Tale. They believe, Republicans are coming for their rights. And the Dobbs decision is proof of that.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, but abortion on demand has always been, if we're talking New York City voters.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Right.
>> Tim Wildmon: Has always been the law of the land in, New York City. And it's never even been threatened. So I don't know why young women in New York City would go, oh my gosh.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Right.
>> Tim Wildmon: My abortion rights are going to be taken away.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: It's not, oh my God. For my abortion rights specifically in New York City, it's. Oh my gosh, these people want women.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Right.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: In the 1940s in their mind, and these people don't.
>> Tim Wildmon: It's already been settled.
>> Ed Vitagliano: It's already been settled, but not for these young women.
>> Tim Wildmon: Well, go for it.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Well, I'm just, I'm not defending it.
>> Tim Wildmon: I'm just saying it's an irrational. That's an irrational, viewpoint.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Exactly right. Anyway, it's an irrational viewpoint and they.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Should just calm down.
>> Tim Wildmon: Tell them M. A one more question. You go tell him, Ed.
What happened to that as an issue in this election? I mean,
>> Fred Jackson: For Abe Virginia.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Yeah.
>> Fred Jackson: Glenn Youngkin won on parental rights.
>> Fred Jackson: What happened to that as an issue in this election?
>> Tim Wildmon: Uh-huh.
>> Fred Jackson: Because Spanberger. Abigail Spanberger.
>> Tim Wildmon: Ah. And, the other two statewide elections. The Democrats.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Yes.
>> Fred Jackson: So what happened? I mean, there's been a huge issue in Virginia. You've got girls on soccer teams and girls saying, boys are coming into my bathrooms. It's been an issue over and over again.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Ah.
>> Fred Jackson: But it didn't even seem to come up as a major concern.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: And you think about this. Following Charlie Kirk's assassination in front of the world, the Virginians elected statewide an attorney general candidate who is on the record saying that he wanted to see Republicans killed because of their political position and their children, and he would desecrate the Republicans grave. And the Virginia say, yeah, that's what we want to be, the chief law enforcement officer in the entire state.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Okay. You know what that tells me? That tells me that people on the left increasingly, again, I'm discounting the traditional liberals like Bill Maher. We talk about him and. And others who think that the Democratic Party has swung too far to the left into radical betterment, or John Fetterman, Senator, Pennsylvania. So I think it indicates that, and polls show this, that on the left, increasingly, they see violence, in the service of their political views as being legitimate. I don't think they had a problem with what Jay Jones said.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: And, and to. To amplify and underscore. Not amplify, but to underscore your point. As the party, as we've referred to with Mamdani's example and the party establishment affirming, or at least remaining silent on him, comes more out. One of the main features of Marx's investment in the. The social, the socialistic panoply is. Was a utilization of violence as a political tool.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Right.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: So those things are happening at the same time.
Zoran Mandami: Sanders says he will pay for his plan through taxes
>> Wesley Wildmon: I do have something to add here on Zor.
>> Tim Wildmon: You add it.
>> Wesley Wildmon: Zoron. Zoron.
>> Tim Wildmon: Zoran Mandami.
>> Wesley Wildmon: We covered this pretty good in the first segment, and then I kind of. I said all I wanted to say until I started scrolling while y' all were talking. So we. We said, we know how he's going to pay for all the things. Well, he told us how he's going to pay for. Is on his website. Are you ready? He's going to pay it by taxing corporations and the 1%, top 1% of New Yorkers, wealthiest New Yorkers, 2%, in addition to what they already pay. And that's how we're going to pay for it. We meaning he.
>> Tim Wildmon: Well, you know, at least to his credit, this guy, he laid it all out There, he laid it all out there. He's coming for the top 1%.
>> Wesley Wildmon: Because, you know, you know, in years past you'll have someone who is a socialist and you ask them how they're going to pay for it and they give you a non answer. Well, he told us.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Yeah, well, the problem with that is not enough 1%.
>> Wesley Wildmon: No.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Yeah, it's not enough money.
>> Ed Vitagliano: A lot of them are going to leave if they can afford and it's morally wrong. And, and he says we're going to just, just 2% more than they're already paying, which sounds eminently reasonable, but that's not going to fund all the things he wants.
>> Abraham Hamilton III: Not going to be enough. Which again brings me back to the, one of the first points I made. Are you a Muslim or are you a Marxist? Which one are you? Are you advocating for these, these Marxist policies? Because deep down that's your mechanism of kind of, taking it to the infidel. I mean, I don't want to be thinking like that, but.
>> Tim Wildmon: Well, this, this sets up the 2026 midterm elections which are going to be, interesting to watch because right now the Republicans hold a, what, two or three, vote margin in the House of Representatives. Is that right? It's very, very narrow. And the senate, the Senate's 5347 or, what is Sanders?
>> Abraham Hamilton III: It's 5347.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah. Sanders is an independent, but he called the Democrats Democrats. Yeah. So it's going to be, you know, it's going to be interesting to see what happens there. But you know, when it hug, when you look back at this, you go, well, this is not the fact that New York always votes Democrat. They did vote for Rudolph Giuliani a long time ago and Michael Bloomberg. So occasionally they'll vote for, basically it's Democrat, country. And New Jersey, same way. So these are not Democrat state. You see, these are not surprises, that Democrats want in blue states and blue cities. And now Virginia, as I said, is purple. But, in this case, the Democrats won all three of the, statewide offices.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Thank you.
>> Tim Wildmon: Thank you, Abe.
>> Wesley Wildmon: What about Fred?
>> Fred Jackson: Thank you.
>> Wesley Wildmon: Fretting them.
>> Tim Wildmon: Oh, Fred. Thank you, Fred, for your contributions.
>> Wesley Wildmon: We took up his time. He had some more stories there.
>> Tim Wildmon: Well, we got to talk about the power, cortex coming up here in just a few minutes that Canada's sending us. Thanks, Fred.
