Speaker 1 (00:00):
Four out of five farmers say I trust my tractor,
my Bible, and American Ground Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
All three all steer you straight.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
That fifth farmer he ran a solar farm. I think.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
We choose to go to the mood and do the
other thing, not because they are easy, but because.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
They are on. It is time for us to realize
that we're too great a nation to limit ourselves to
small dreams. I have a dream that one day this
nation will rise up, live out the true meaning of
its creed. American Ground Radio with Lewis r Avalone and
(00:48):
Stephen Proto.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
This is American Ground Radio Stephen ParvE with Lewis sar evalone.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Okay, so let's not forget that Doctor Bill Cassidy was
the swing vote that confirmed Robert F. Kennedy Junior to
lead the Department of Health and Human Service.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
This is something that Senator to Cassidy himself and his
team have said was very important. It's a key part
of Donald Trump's agenda getting through. Cassidy was the guy
who made it happen. He was the deciding vote. He
was simpatico with President Trump.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Right right, So he again he says he is the
he was the key to getting Robert F. Kennedy Junior confirmed.
And by the way, this is the same RFK Junior
that has made a career questioning vaccines, questioning vaccines over
and over and over. He has made a career out
of suing regulatory agencies. He has railed against big pharma.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yes, and.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Doctor Cassidy, with all his medical expertise, basically made this
big show in the Senate about you know, about how
many Well maybe it wasn't a show. He had a
lot of reservations about Kennedy, but yet he gave him
the green light anyway. Okay, So now doctor Cassidy now
(02:18):
has an idea that the Louisiana Surgeon General should issue
a blanket prescription for COVID nineteen vaccine. And not just
any vaccine. We're talking about the same vaccine that Robert F.
Kennedy Junior, the Biden turned Trump appointed Health secretary, calls
(02:40):
the deadliest vaccine ever. So doctor Cassidy has an outside
step RFK Junior, Yes, and President Trump, I mean, and
now he's going straight.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
To Ralph Abraham.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Ralph Abraham Louisiana Surgeon General.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Has he met Ralph Abraham?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Of course, because one of the things that around Fabraham
has he talked to around Fabraham because one of things
around Fabraham's done this year as the attorney as a
surgeon general for the state Louisiana was he banned advertising
for vaccines by the Louisiana Department of Health. Louisiana Department
of Health is not allowed to spend taxpayer money anymore
promoting vaccines. Not that they won't deliver vaccines to anybody
(03:22):
who asked for it, not that they won't allow doctors
to prescribe vaccines or do deliver vaccines to children and
adults is the doctors see fit, but that the state
administration is not going to pay to advertise or to
promote or have those clinics that they used to do.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Okay, but a blanket prescription, I mean, let's dig into
the meat of this. What doctor Cassidy is saying that
doctor Abraham, Louisiana Surgeon General should somehow issue a blanket prescription.
I guess to everyone in the state of Louisiana that
says if you want the vaccine, you can get it.
I mean, I but first of all, the whole idea
(04:02):
of a prescription. Yeah, just let's break this down because
as you say, words have means, they do. Okay. The
whole idea of a prescription is that it is prescribed
for you. It is individualized. It is a doctor saying
I've evaluated you, your history, your risk, your conditions, and
(04:23):
I believe this vaccine, this medication is right for you.
So yeah, Cassidy wants to throw all of that away.
He wants Ralph Abraham, the state's top health official, to
scribble out one giant note that says, whoever wants the
COVID nineteen vaccine, go ahead. It's on me. That's not
medical care. I mean, that's a parody of medical care.
(04:47):
I mean that's no different than writing a universal script
for antibiotics or insulin or chemotherapy drugs. I mean, imagine
the precedent. If a politician can push a blanket prescription
for one controversial vaccine, a vaccine that what hold on,
(05:07):
let me get the quote. Let me get the quote
from RFK Junior. He says it's the deadliest vaccine ever made.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Well it is. There's but doctor.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Cassidy can't have it both ways. He can't green light
RFK Junior, who has had a long history of questioning
vaccines suing regulatory agencies, and now you bypass him. You
go straight to the Louisiana Attorney General, search in general,
and you say, issue a blanket prescription.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Wait, why can't you have it both ways? Maybe he
thought he had a deal with RFK and then he's
since seen how RFK has behaved in office, which is
exactly how I would have expected RFK to have behaved
in office, and Cassie seems somehow surprised by that. But
now Cassidy goes, oh, you know what, this is not
the deal that we had, so I'm going to change
my approach.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
How is that? How is that inconsistent on Cassidy's part?
You expected r f K Junior to make a one
hundred and eighty degree I didn't. I mean moderate I did. No, No, No,
you can moderate your positions, right, But I mean RFK
Junior is not going to do a one point eighty.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
No and whatever and whatever guarantees that Cassidy felt like
he had from RFK, because he's never been specific about
what those those guarantees were. He just said he talks
to him all the time. I've we tried to asking
him what guarantees were They here on the program. We
didn't really get a good answer out of it. Uh So,
I don't know what guarantees he thought he had, but
you know, look, he could think. Okay, RFK is now
(06:31):
going back on the guarantees that I got from him
during the confirmation hearing. So I'm just going to say
that Louisiana should track his own course. I don't see
that as saying you can't have that both ways. If
he had, if he had done this at the beginning,
if he had said, you know what, I'm going to
confirm RFK, and I'm going to tell Ralph Abraham to
do a blanket COVID thing. That would be like whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa whoa, buddy, be consistent? Okay, But what I can
see him having a consistent Maybe maybe not the the
(06:55):
opinion I would like, but he could have a consistent
opinion and still be saying we should have COVID vaccine.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Well, I think it was quite an unrealistic expectation that
RFK Junior was going to make one and eighty degree
now moderate moderate his position, okay maybe.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
But not.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
He wasn't going to do one any degree. Now Here's
where I think he's inconsistent because Bill Cassidy will tout
his bona fides as a physician, right, He's he's talked
about his work dealing with patients, and yet now he's
calling for a blanket prescription. My question is, as a physician,
did you ever prescribe medicine for someone that you did
(07:33):
not personally evaluate?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
But see and if so, you're right?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Why what doctors do this where they're prescribing drugs?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Willy nilly?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I mean other than abortion doctors out of New York?
What doctors do that?
Speaker 3 (07:47):
I mean, this isn't some you know, supplement or vitamin
that someone takes, you know, on a daily basis. I
mean we're talking these m RNA shots have been linked
to myocarditis, yes, blood clots, yes, several other adverse medical events.
And whether you believe the risk outweigh the benefits are
not pretending those risks don't exist is malpractice. A blanket
(08:10):
prescription turns those risks, really, I mean what into collateral damage?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Well, and again for the for anybody under the age
of eighteen, the vaccine was more deadly than the virus.
That's that's the data that's come out the veirs, the
the adverse the adverse the vaccine Adverse Effects database that
says that anybody under the age of eighteen, the virus
(08:36):
was not as deadly as the vaccine was. So why
would you issue a blanket prescription for a vaccine that
is deadly, especially to children.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Now, I'm going to say it again, Cassidy can't have
this both ways. He's trying to play both sides. He
wants to look like the compassionate doctor who believes in
patient empowerment, okay. He wants to keep his credibility as
a science Republican okay, and at the same time appeasing
Kennedy's vaccine skeptic base. I mean by approving, by approving Kennedy.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
What he's trying to do is he's trying to stay
on Donald Trump's good side and yet absolutely disagree.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
But you can't square the point. You can't square this circle.
Either you believe in individualized medicine or you don't.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Let's get to the top. Threwo things you need to
know before tomorrow. First thing you need to him before tomorrow.
Democrats City council Woman Helena Moreno received some support from
prominent New Orleans politicians this week Moreno held a press
conference announcing the endorsements of former Congressman Cedric Richmond, Attorney
(09:45):
General Jason Williams, sorry A District Attorney Jason Williams, and
Public Service Commissioner Devonte Lewis. Richmond says he's been behind
Moreno since the start of a campaign. Williams said he
has known Moreno since they both served on the city
council together. Some polls are showing her with close to
fifty percent of the vote, and she has a political
fund that's over one point seven million dollars she can
spend on her campaign. That's far more money than any
(10:06):
other candidate in the race.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
You know, we keep talking about this mayor's race in
New Orleans. Nothing's going to change. All of these candidates
are just another variation of the current mayor.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Second thing you needed to beerform. New Orleans judge throughout
a lawsuit by Airbnb and a local property owners against
a New Orleans ordinance limiting short term rentals in the city.
The lawsuit claimed that the new ordinance was overly restrictive,
but the judge in the case ruled that property owners
do not have a fundamental right to offer up their
properties for short term rentals, and that the city does
have the right to require a permit for short term rentals.
(10:41):
The new ordnance also requires platforms like Airbnb and verbo
to verify that the property owners have the correct permits
before allowing those properties to be listed on their sites.
The law was passed in twenty twenty three and it
can now go into full effect.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Okay, so now the city of New Orleans, yeah, decides
who you can rent your proper already out to.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Or whether you can rent your property out at all.
And the third thing you know, before all of the
spray grounds in downtown Streeport was closed again. The public
spray grounds were reopened last month after having been closed
since twenty eighteen. Broken pipes and drainage problems caused the
seven year closure of the facility. Winter reopened this August.
People were able to enjoy playing in the water next
(11:21):
to the Red River, but not for long. In a statement,
Streeport Parks and Rec said, while operating the new system,
we noticed a few issues we want to address. Since
this is brand new technology, we're being proactive to make
sure everything runs smoothly. By tackling these adjustments now, we'll
be ready to operate with a reliable bug free system
that everyone can enjoy. It's not clear how long the
spray grounds will be closed this time.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
A bug free experience.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Well, I hope so yeah. I don't think like insect.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
No no, no, I just mean, look, this has to work
at this point, it's been closed for so long.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
If it's proactive maintenance, that's good. If they just don't
know what they're doing, that's bad.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Welcome back to American Ground Radio, Stephen Palmer lewisval You know,
I am always in awe of our audience, Okay, I
mean some of them are very silent, they're listening, they're
very smart.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
And then others they talk, they speak out, They text us.
You know, the greatest text line in talk radio.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Very easy to remember. One eight six six a g
R seventeen seventy six.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
And so, one of our very regular listeners said, in
response to the whole issue of doctor Cassidy urging doctor
Abraham Louisiana Surgeon General to write a blanket prescription yes
for every Louisiana and yes to get the COVID nineteen
vaccine right, which Robert F. Kennedy Junior calls the deadliest
(13:59):
vaccine ever.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
I think the facts bear that out. I really do.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
I will if you ever wonder how rfk Junior feels
about the COVID nineteen vaccine, that pretty much tells you.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I mean, there's no doubt.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Look, there's no doubt.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
The vaccine did save lives for people primarily over the
age of sixty five. For people over the age of
sixty five, the vaccine was very effective in stopping a
lot of desks. Now, it didn't stop the spread of
the disease, so we were lied to about that, but
it did decrease the number of deaths for people over
the age of sixty five. However, for people under the
age of thirty five, there was an increase in specific
(14:34):
types of death, specifically myocarditis and perry cardis. And for
those under the age of eighteen, the vaccine was far
more deadly than the virus.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
And he saw that in many athletes. Oh yeah, that
just dropped dead.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Famous athletes in the World Cup. Athlete just drops down
to the ground so hard.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
One of our listeners texted in and said, how about
Cassidy write the prescription and he takes the liability, And
then he went on to say he can't keep his credibility.
It's gone now. That was in response I guess to
what we were talking about, that Cassidy is trying to
keep his credibility. I guess on both sides of the
(15:14):
fence here, both with the the MAGA folks that are
anti vaccine and the laugh that is pro vaccine.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Well, I don't think it's even that he's trying to help.
I don't think Cassidy's trying to win favor with the voters.
I think Cassidy is desperately trying not to offend Donald
Trump because.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
While still voting his conscience, While doctor Cassidy still votes
his conscience because he does believe that the vaccine is.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Important and people should have And by the way, no
one's outlawed the vaccine if your doctor wants to give
you the vaccine. But Cassidy's sad scene.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Look, spare Louisiana's. What Cassidy has said is spare Louisiana's
the inconvenience and the spence of going to see their doctor.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
What physician thinks that people shouldn't go see their doctor,
especially for something.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Where well, the science is settled here on these are
in a vaccines.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Apparently it's not clearly it's not. But look, Cassidy is
trying to make sure that he doesn't get on Donald
Trump's bad side again. He is running for re election,
saying that right now in the second term, he is
Donald Trump's right hand man. Trump wouldn't have gotten half
of his cabinet picks without Bill Cassidy. Bill Cassidy's working
(16:33):
hand in hand with Donald Trump. That's that's what Bill
Cassidy said on this show.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
It's hard to keep up with it really is. But
that's what he said on the show. Right, it is okay,
But what I'm what we're seeing today doesn't seem to
bear that out.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
The problem is is that he fundamentally disagrees with RFK Jr.
And Cassidy was a big COVID vaccine fan, and City
talked about masking out. But that's the City talking about
six FA. But he's a doctor and that's his medical opinion.
I get that he is entitled to that, but he
(17:09):
was wrong on these things. He was wrong about the
vaccine for people under the age of thirty five. He
was wrong about masks, he was wrong about, you know,
staying home. He was wrong about a lot of stuff.
Now he's not the only one. Basically everybody in big
medicine and in government medicine was wrong on the COVID vaccines.
(17:29):
The people who were right about it were people who went, wait,
this doesn't make any sense. The virus dies at six feet. Wait, wait, wait,
there's an anti there's an anti viral that we can take,
and if we take it within the first forty eight hours,
it actually significantly improves the outcome. Why why can't I
take that?
Speaker 3 (17:48):
No? Absolutely, well, speaking of folks who have gotten it right,
there is a lawsuit before the United States Supreme Court
dealing with gun rights and the state of Washington.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah, so you're gonna get We're gonna get to that.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
We are, Yeah, later on in the show. Oh yeah,
you know, I really should, I really should. I should
pay attention to the show notes to what's coming up.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yes, yeah, yeah, No, we're going to get to that.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
So what we're going to be talking about, essentially, is
a Washington law that bans the sale and possession of
firearm magazines that hold no more than ten rounds. And
some folks say, well, that's just common sense safety, that's
just a common sense safety measure.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
How is that coming?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Well, I mean that's that's how the left sells it.
Nobody who needs more than ten rounds? They would say, right, well,
you're trying to abody who wants to take eleven shots?
I mean, I mean, well, they say it's about reducing
mass shootings.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Okay, but all right, Look, the shooting that happened up
in uh was it Michigan at the church right in
the Minnesota, Minnesota, Minnesota. You're right, he was in Minneapolis, Minnesota,
all right. So he didn't have I don't think he
had more than ten rounds in his guns. What he
had was three guns, I mean, and even if he
(19:12):
did have ten rounds in those guns, he had more
guns too. So you know, well, this gun can only
have ten. Okay, Look, you're not gonna stop mass shooting.
Somebody wants to do mass shootings. If they can't get
a magazine that's illegal, they'll simply just get more guns. Okay,
(19:33):
this is this is a dumb, dumb thing. Obviously, we'll
be talking about this in much greater detail. Yes, we
dig deep into this subject. But this case is before
the United States Supreme Court, and Attorney General Liz Merle
has signed on joined the Ammack State of Louisiana onto
this lawsuit, and they filed a Friend of the Court
(19:54):
right as brief as they would say. Boy, k this
New York City mayor's race, it looks like and we're
going to be going to New York City next month
and participate as part of a mayoral forum. Right, You
and I have been asked to go up to New
York to talk to the folks in the City of
(20:15):
New York about the importance of this mayor race, about
the danger of Hofstra University officers University. We're gonna be
up there in October, and about the danger of electing
a socialist to be the largest city in the country.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Let me just tell you something. I don't know what
we're gonna find when we walk onto that campus, because
right now, there's a poll that has been conducted by
Sienna and the New York Times. Yes, this, Mam Danny,
this zionist. He holds anti Zionists, anti Zionist, I should say,
(20:49):
he holds a commanding twenty two percent lead over former
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. So and he's currently projected
he is it's currently projected to win the mayor of
New York City with forty six percent of the vote.
Cuomo is back at twenty four percent.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Right, So, basically, mom, Dommy's about to double up Cuomo.
Do folks understand what this represents? Do folks understand the
precedent that this is going to set the message that
this is going to send not just across this country
but all around the world that this kind of hate. Yeah,
this kind of vitriol can win at the ballot. Yes,
(21:36):
I mean.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
I thought hate speech was something that the left and
the right wanted to outlaw.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Well not the right doesn't want to outlaw speech, but yes,
the left wants to outlaw hate speech unless it's your
hate speech, unless it's the hate speech that you like. See,
that's the problem with outlying speech is that the only
speech that gives outlawed is a speech you disagree with.
If you're in power, you agree with calling Israel evil.
You know, we should globalize the inta Fada. That's what
(22:06):
Mondamia said, globalize the ina.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I mean, this guy is a left wing radical. I
mean he's a.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Socialist, and he's anti Semitic, and he is going to
be the mayor of the largest city in United States
of America.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
And if you think people are moving out of New
York City now, Jess, wait.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
You're listening to American ground radio out in these parts.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Some folks call it radio.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
We call it the last campfire of the American spirit.
Stoke the fire of freedom with American ground radio.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Welcome back, to American Ground Radio Stephen.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
So, apparently the Iten Widening project, the Ien Widening project
in Baton Rouge. Yes, the big dig of Louisiana. Sure,
this was supposed to modernize traffic from Interstate one ten
past a Kadian Threatway. Well, now the completion date is
going to be twenty thirty one. Twenty thirty one, and
(23:28):
not because DOTD wanted.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
To tell you right.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
No, it took a local news team digging through public
records requests to discover the truth. Apparently there are still
twenty two properties that have not been acquired twenty two
to finish the widening project, so they can't even really
start on it. And until they're bought up, the project
(23:53):
can't keep moving, right, I mean, I mean this is government.
This is government in a nuts shell. They overpromise, they
under deliver, and then they shrug their shoulders and they
blame whatever.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
So sorry, I can't do it.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
So the DOTD spokesman, this is a Rodney mallet and
he actually said this. He said, the project is scheduled
to be completed in twenty thirty one.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Which is, by the way, just in my keeping track
at home, six years from now.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Now, if there is a global pandemic, a year of
supply chain issues, or a summer with ten hurricanes, that
timeline could change. In other words, he's blaming. Don't hold
your breath. I mean they're already building in excuses for
a project that's already years behind schedule.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Okay, My question is how long do you think you
would take Texas to widen a free way like that?
How long?
Speaker 3 (24:51):
How long? Yeah, this is one stretch of the interstate.
It's just from I Won ten to Perkins, Right, it's
not the whole highway, it's not the whole state.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Right. How long do you think Texas would take to
do that? Eight months? Nine months?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Seriously, But let me ask you something. It's a legitimate question.
And and you know, I don't think as long. I
think I think the perception would be the State of
Texas would be far more efficient and effective. And the
question is how long have they known that they need
to acquire these properties?
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Since they started, since day one? Exactly? Let's dig deep,
going down well, as we sort of teased in the
last block, Louisiana's Attorney General Liz Merle, is joining with
other attorneys general from red states across the country to
challenge a law in Washington State. The case is called
(25:45):
Gators Custom Guns, Incorporated Versus the State of Washington. Now,
I think it's interesting that it's called Gators because there
aren't any alligators in Washington State. But you know, hey,
look it's a great name, right. Louisiana should join. Could
be AT's Custom Guns. Could be a Louisiana native. Maybe
that moved up there, it started his own gun shop.
So Washington's Democrat controlled legislature passed a law banning magazines
(26:07):
in firearms with more than ten rounds. The gun shop sued.
Lower court found that the gun shop was right based
on recent Supreme Court president but that ruling was reversed
by the Washington State Supreme Court, which is also controlled
by Democrats. In that case is now being appealed to
the US Supreme Court. So you have the district attorneys
from Montana, Idaha, Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska,
(26:35):
New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah,
West Virginia, Wyoming, and the Arizona legislature all filing a
brief supporting the gun shop and opposing the Washington state.
By the way of those states, the only one that
voted for Kamala Harris was New Hampshire. But New Hampshire
has got a very strong Second Amendment tradition.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Okay, but let's get this straight up front. This whole
law that's before the United States Supreme Court is not
about safety. No, it's about control because the criminals aren't
going to follow it.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
They never do.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
I mean the gangs in Seattle are they lining up
to turn in their fifteen round block mags. I mean,
the drug dealers aren't aren't reading the statute books before
they load their ar fifteens. I mean this law, this
law is targeting law abiding citizens, gun owners who overnight
are told they're criminals for owning something that millions of
(27:32):
Americans use every single day.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
That's right, because millions of people have gun magazines that
are larger than ten ten bullets, right, can hold them?
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Right, they're not. These are not exotic magazines, they're not fringe,
they're not weapons of war.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
So the first line of the amicus brief that's been
signed that that Liz Merle joined into. Here's the first line,
and I love it. This case should not have been hard. Yeah,
this should not have been hard, says time and again
this court. The US Supreme Court has said that the
Second Amendment protects the right of citizens to bear arms
that are unquestionably in common use today for lawful purposes.
(28:10):
Plus ten magazines are in common use today, so they
are protected by the Second Amendment. I mean, you could
almost stop there, but they go through quite a detailed
list of press and other things. The Washington State Supreme
Court upheld the ban on large magazines basically by saying
that the meaning of arms right that Congress shall make
no law prohibiting the possession of firearms. Right the right
(28:35):
to bear arms. So the Washington State Supreme Court says,
the meaning of arms does not apply to ammunition. Okay,
so it's a paper weight. You can have the gun.
How is it the ammunition.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
I mean, the definition of firearm is that it fires
a bullet or some projectile.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
But the court was like, look, we can't stop you
from having the gun, but we can stop you from
having bullets.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Okay, that that still is an infringement right of our
Second Amendment right.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
So the amicus brief rights a magazine is not an
optional accessory. It is a defining characteristic of a repeating firearm.
They are only accessories in the same sense that a
motor vehicle's gas tank is an accessory.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
You know, and here's the other part, because you know,
you could say, who needs a thirty gallon gas tank? Sure,
you're on your car, I mean seriously, yeah. But and
some they'll make the same argument. Why do Americans need
magazines with more than ten rounds? Because self defense. Here's
the thing about self defense. You don't get to pick
how many attackers are coming at you. You don't you
(29:39):
don't get to pick whether they're armed right. You don't
get to pause the fight after ten shots and reload
at your leisure.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
And you also don't get to guarantee that, in a
moment of high stress and drama, that you're going to
be a good shot. Just because there are three people
attacking you doesn't mean you only need three bullets. You
may not have ever been in the city situation before,
and having ten bullets going out of your gun does
it mean you're going to hit ten people?
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Well, And by the way, for those who say, well,
we need to cut down on mass shootings. Have you
seen the number of guns that these mass shooters bring
to these events. They're loaded for bear, They've got several guns,
several magazines. So this law, I mean, if somebody brings
five guns that are completely loaded with maxed out, how.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Is this law helping the victims?
Speaker 3 (30:30):
How is it going to reduce the number of mass shootings.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Secondly, they said that large magazines weren't commonly used in
self defense, but that's not part of the constitutional test.
It's whether they are in common use, not common use
for self defense. And yes, large magazines are very common.
Again from the brief, it is indisputable that in the
modern United States that magazines of up to thirty rounds
for rifles and up to twenty rounds for handguns are
(30:56):
standard equipment for many popular firearms.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Now, the folks in washing Hington State, they're getting hustled
by their own government.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
They're hustling themselves. No, the voters voted for this Washington State.
It's the conservatives are getting screwed over by the majority
Democrat population. But the majority Democrat population liked this law.
This was a very popular law among the leftists that
live in Washington State. They're hustling themselves, but it's because
they just have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the human
(31:26):
brain works. And criminals aren't going to go oh gosh,
that losses. I can't have a thirty round magazine. Sorry, guys,
we'll have to start the drive by tomorrow with slingshots.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Yeah, let's read the Second Amendment again. Shall not be
infringed if we forget that. If we forget that, we
don't just lose our guns, we lose our freedom.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I'm very glad that the Attorney General for the Stay,
louisiannalysm will signed onto this brief on our behalf. It's right.
It's a good pushback against the unconstitutional instincts of the left.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Welcome back to American Grave Radio, Stephen Paul with Lewis
ar Avloni down in New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Yeah, you know, you've got these independent living facilities, the
so called independent living facilities where seniors go not because
they need like round the clock medical care, okay, but
because they want a sense of community. Sure, you know,
where they can live out their golden years with dignity,
et cetera.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
You can get you know, a smaller place. It's not
as much maintenance, not as much upkeep as you know,
maybe the home net where they raise their kids and
their family and all that. You can downsize and yet
you're still able to be independent, still able to have
you know, grocery stores nearby that you can get to
without having to you know, drive.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
I still need assistance. Sure, and the staff there is
still needed, yes, all right, able to help out. And
we saw that during Hurricane Idam. Oh yeah, when you
had some of those independent living I guess residents who
died because the facilities had no power, no evacuation plan,
(34:14):
no backup plan whatsoever. Staff left, the staff abandoned them.
So Louisiana passed a law, and the law says these
facilities must have a disaster plan in place. It sounds
very simple, very sub common sense. Sure, we live in
hurricane Alley, after all, you need that. But here's the
ridiculous part. Oh three years later now where three years
(34:37):
later passed Hurricane Eyed I believe, okay, one third of
these facilities, roughly twenty four out of seventy one in
New Orleans are still not in compliance. Still not in compliance.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
With just making a plan. It doesn't even have to
be a good plan. You just got to make a plan.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Because here's the other right, because and the other part
of this that is kind of this gaping hole in
the law. Independent living facilities aren't regulated by the state.
Nursing homes they're regulated, but assisted living apartments, those are regulated,
but independent living facilities are not. That's somehow that's different. Okay,
(35:25):
they're not. They say, Well, the argument is they're not
medical facilities, that they're about socialization, that they're not designed
for critical care. But give me a break. You're still
housing seniors, many of whom are frail, many of whom
don't have family nearby, many of whom who can't just
grab an uber to evacuate when a hurricane is barreling down.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Right, Because some part of the reason why people will
move into these places is that they no longer feel
safe to drive, you know, and run errands and things
like that. And yeah, so.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
And so the city's given them fines, but there's no
eth to them. It's a slap on the wrist. And
I mean a fine is a fine going to keep
the lights on when the grid goes down?
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Well, it depends upon how big the fine is, I guess.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
I mean, I don't know about that. I mean, it
is a fine going to provide oxygen tanks when the
air conditioning cuts off.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
You know, what they should do is name and shame.
And instead of just having a fine, do they have
a list of all the places that have failed to
create a emergency plan, and if so, why don't we
put that on the news, because you know, the customers,
the people have a right to know whether the facilities
that they're at are following the law or not.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
Well, the City of New Orleans needs to enforce the law.
If a facility doesn't have a plan, shut it down, period,
no excuses, no delays, and require backup power in these
facilities because hurricanes happen and seniors have died time and
time again when these out occur. And if you house seniors,
(37:04):
you need a generator. End of discussion, end of discussion period.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Oh probably more than one, Frankly for a facility that large.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Oh well, of course, yeah, one that's appropriately sized for
that facility. But it is absolutely ridiculous that you have
nearly a third of independent living facilities in New Orleans
and they're still out of compliance because they have they
have no disaster planning. Was this a New Orleans ordinance
or is this a state It was a New Orleans ordnance,
New Orleans ordinates because of Hurricane Ida, frank this should
(37:35):
be there.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Should be a state law. I think all of I
think these independent living facilities across the entire state because
we've had hurricanes go into Lake Charles, We've had hurricanes
go into Lafayette, We've had hurricanes head up towards Shreveport.
You can get winter storms, you can get you know,
weather happens year round. You can get tornado outbreaks, you
can get you know, power outages. All of these places
(37:59):
need emerging sy plans in place.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
And here's the part of it. The City of New
Orleans takes the money for the licenses these independent living
facilities have to pay right that they have to have
to obtain right. So they're taking the money, yes, but
they're not enforcing the law. They're not enforcing the law.
(38:22):
And the thing is, when the next storm comes, all
the excuses in the world is not going to keep
people alive.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
It won't matter.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
Yeah, I mean, plans will, right, the plan, the evacuation
plan will, generators, good will, real accountability will. But until
that happens, you've got twenty four out of seventy one
independent living facilities that are in non compliance. And that's
another day of risk, another day of frankly, of government failure.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
I mean, you were close to one out of three,
is about that, right?
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Yeah, that's I mean that's a real, real problem. And
for folks that have loved ones in those facilities, they
have a right to know whether those facilities have an
emergency plan.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
But does this surprise you. I mean, the city of
New Orleans is run by Democrats, it has been for decades.
They pass laws, they don't enforce them.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Well, they think they're just passing laws. We were talking
about this with the gun thing. They think they's passing
the law solves the problem. Oh, the Left love's passing laws.
They love regulation, they love expanding government authority. But when
it comes time to actually enforce those laws to actually
deliver results, yeah, or to crickets to more importantly, to
get the end result of what it is you pass
(39:36):
the law in the first place for, and the end
result is safety. It's not just about creating red tape.
It's about safety. Have we taken safety into account?
Speaker 3 (39:46):
This isn't just incompetence, its negligence in the people of
New Orleans. Very frankly, they deserve better.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
We'll brab back Instagram.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
You are listening to American Ground Radio.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Welcome back to American Ground Radio. Stephen Parler, lewisar Avaloni.
You know you gotta check out Magnolia Pit Barbecue, and

New customers, thank you very much. So yeah, they head out,
they check out Magnolia Pit and they're like, oh, look
at this. They go, oh, they got the potato with
the bristcut.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
And you know what, a lot of pretty good a
lot of folks when they go in, they go, you know,
I heard you on being advertised on American Ground.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
Radio and we're very popular.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
Oh when that pleases us to no end when we
hear that.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
So go check them out because you're gonna love it
because it's Louisiana style barbecue.
Speaker 3 (40:55):
You can savor the soul of Louisiana barbecue at Magnolia Pit.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
So go check them out. Seven twenty nine Jorden Street
in Streetport. They're open from eleven am to five pm
Monday through Friday and then eleven am to three pm
on Saturday. And so you go check them out, and man,
they're great.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
It's good stuff, good people, very good stuff, very good food,
and you like it a lot a lot.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
I like it a lot a lot, and our listeners
will love it absolutely. Right.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
You know, do you believe in UFOs? No, you do
not believe in unidentified flying objects whatsoever. You don't think
that there is life on or in other galaxies.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
Well, if there's a life in another galaxy, there's no
way they got here.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
If there's like wait, wait, wait wait, how do you
know this?
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Have you seen the distances? Well?
Speaker 3 (41:48):
I mean, I mean maybe there's technology that allows folks
to I mean you've seen Star Trek, right, you can step.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
For Okay, but even in Star Trek, they never leave
the galaxy.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
Okay. Well, here's the thing. Apparently a US Air Force
veteran testified before Congress today that he witnessed a silent,
one hundred foot triangular UFO at Langley Air Force Base. Okay,
and it just and then it disappeared. See.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
One of the things that makes me not really believe
a lot of the UFO stuff is our military has
actually admitted that most of that alien stuff in Roswell,
New York and New Mexico was the military intentionally deceiving
the press to cover up secret aircraft works. That's what
they were doing. That's why Roswell's famous for UFOs, just
because the American military was doing.
Speaker 3 (42:42):
Stuff I don't know. I'm not going to rule out UFOs.
Speaker 1 (42:45):
The Second Hour of American Ground Radio is coming up
next
Four out of five farmers say I trust my tractor,
my Bible, and American Ground Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
All three all steer you straight.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
That fifth farmer he ran a solar farm. I think.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
We choose to go to the mood and do the
other thing, not because they are easy, but because.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
They are on. It is time for us to realize
that we're too great a nation to limit ourselves to
small dreams. I have a dream that one day this
nation will rise up, live out the true meaning of
its creed. American Ground Radio with Lewis r Avalone and
(00:48):
Stephen Proto.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
This is American Ground Radio Stephen ParvE with Lewis sar evalone.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Okay, so let's not forget that Doctor Bill Cassidy was
the swing vote that confirmed Robert F. Kennedy Junior to
lead the Department of Health and Human Service.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
This is something that Senator to Cassidy himself and his
team have said was very important. It's a key part
of Donald Trump's agenda getting through. Cassidy was the guy
who made it happen. He was the deciding vote. He
was simpatico with President Trump.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Right right, So he again he says he is the
he was the key to getting Robert F. Kennedy Junior confirmed.
And by the way, this is the same RFK Junior
that has made a career questioning vaccines, questioning vaccines over
and over and over. He has made a career out
of suing regulatory agencies. He has railed against big pharma.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Yes, and.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Doctor Cassidy, with all his medical expertise, basically made this
big show in the Senate about you know, about how
many Well maybe it wasn't a show. He had a
lot of reservations about Kennedy, but yet he gave him
the green light anyway. Okay, So now doctor Cassidy now
(02:18):
has an idea that the Louisiana Surgeon General should issue
a blanket prescription for COVID nineteen vaccine. And not just
any vaccine. We're talking about the same vaccine that Robert F.
Kennedy Junior, the Biden turned Trump appointed Health secretary, calls
(02:40):
the deadliest vaccine ever. So doctor Cassidy has an outside
step RFK Junior, Yes, and President Trump, I mean, and
now he's going straight.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
To Ralph Abraham.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Ralph Abraham Louisiana Surgeon General.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Has he met Ralph Abraham?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Of course, because one of the things that around Fabraham
has he talked to around Fabraham because one of things
around Fabraham's done this year as the attorney as a
surgeon general for the state Louisiana was he banned advertising
for vaccines by the Louisiana Department of Health. Louisiana Department
of Health is not allowed to spend taxpayer money anymore
promoting vaccines. Not that they won't deliver vaccines to anybody
(03:22):
who asked for it, not that they won't allow doctors
to prescribe vaccines or do deliver vaccines to children and
adults is the doctors see fit, but that the state
administration is not going to pay to advertise or to
promote or have those clinics that they used to do.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Okay, but a blanket prescription, I mean, let's dig into
the meat of this. What doctor Cassidy is saying that
doctor Abraham, Louisiana Surgeon General should somehow issue a blanket prescription.
I guess to everyone in the state of Louisiana that
says if you want the vaccine, you can get it.
I mean, I but first of all, the whole idea
(04:02):
of a prescription. Yeah, just let's break this down because
as you say, words have means, they do. Okay. The
whole idea of a prescription is that it is prescribed
for you. It is individualized. It is a doctor saying
I've evaluated you, your history, your risk, your conditions, and
(04:23):
I believe this vaccine, this medication is right for you.
So yeah, Cassidy wants to throw all of that away.
He wants Ralph Abraham, the state's top health official, to
scribble out one giant note that says, whoever wants the
COVID nineteen vaccine, go ahead. It's on me. That's not
medical care. I mean, that's a parody of medical care.
(04:47):
I mean that's no different than writing a universal script
for antibiotics or insulin or chemotherapy drugs. I mean, imagine
the precedent. If a politician can push a blanket prescription
for one controversial vaccine, a vaccine that what hold on,
(05:07):
let me get the quote. Let me get the quote
from RFK Junior. He says it's the deadliest vaccine ever made.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Well it is. There's but doctor.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Cassidy can't have it both ways. He can't green light
RFK Junior, who has had a long history of questioning
vaccines suing regulatory agencies, and now you bypass him. You
go straight to the Louisiana Attorney General, search in general,
and you say, issue a blanket prescription.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Wait, why can't you have it both ways? Maybe he
thought he had a deal with RFK and then he's
since seen how RFK has behaved in office, which is
exactly how I would have expected RFK to have behaved
in office, and Cassie seems somehow surprised by that. But
now Cassidy goes, oh, you know what, this is not
the deal that we had, so I'm going to change
my approach.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
How is that? How is that inconsistent on Cassidy's part?
You expected r f K Junior to make a one
hundred and eighty degree I didn't. I mean moderate I did. No, No, No,
you can moderate your positions, right, But I mean RFK
Junior is not going to do a one point eighty.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
No and whatever and whatever guarantees that Cassidy felt like
he had from RFK, because he's never been specific about
what those those guarantees were. He just said he talks
to him all the time. I've we tried to asking
him what guarantees were They here on the program. We
didn't really get a good answer out of it. Uh So,
I don't know what guarantees he thought he had, but
you know, look, he could think. Okay, RFK is now
(06:31):
going back on the guarantees that I got from him
during the confirmation hearing. So I'm just going to say
that Louisiana should track his own course. I don't see
that as saying you can't have that both ways. If
he had, if he had done this at the beginning,
if he had said, you know what, I'm going to
confirm RFK, and I'm going to tell Ralph Abraham to
do a blanket COVID thing. That would be like whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa whoa, buddy, be consistent? Okay, But what I can
see him having a consistent Maybe maybe not the the
(06:55):
opinion I would like, but he could have a consistent
opinion and still be saying we should have COVID vaccine.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Well, I think it was quite an unrealistic expectation that
RFK Junior was going to make one and eighty degree
now moderate moderate his position, okay maybe.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
But not.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
He wasn't going to do one any degree. Now Here's
where I think he's inconsistent because Bill Cassidy will tout
his bona fides as a physician, right, He's he's talked
about his work dealing with patients, and yet now he's
calling for a blanket prescription. My question is, as a physician,
did you ever prescribe medicine for someone that you did
(07:33):
not personally evaluate?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
But see and if so, you're right?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Why what doctors do this where they're prescribing drugs?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Willy nilly?
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I mean other than abortion doctors out of New York?
What doctors do that?
Speaker 3 (07:47):
I mean, this isn't some you know, supplement or vitamin
that someone takes, you know, on a daily basis. I
mean we're talking these m RNA shots have been linked
to myocarditis, yes, blood clots, yes, several other adverse medical events.
And whether you believe the risk outweigh the benefits are
not pretending those risks don't exist is malpractice. A blanket
(08:10):
prescription turns those risks, really, I mean what into collateral damage?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Well, and again for the for anybody under the age
of eighteen, the vaccine was more deadly than the virus.
That's that's the data that's come out the veirs, the
the adverse the adverse the vaccine Adverse Effects database that
says that anybody under the age of eighteen, the virus
(08:36):
was not as deadly as the vaccine was. So why
would you issue a blanket prescription for a vaccine that
is deadly, especially to children.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Now, I'm going to say it again, Cassidy can't have
this both ways. He's trying to play both sides. He
wants to look like the compassionate doctor who believes in
patient empowerment, okay. He wants to keep his credibility as
a science Republican okay, and at the same time appeasing
Kennedy's vaccine skeptic base. I mean by approving, by approving Kennedy.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
What he's trying to do is he's trying to stay
on Donald Trump's good side and yet absolutely disagree.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
But you can't square the point. You can't square this circle.
Either you believe in individualized medicine or you don't.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Let's get to the top. Threwo things you need to
know before tomorrow. First thing you need to him before tomorrow.
Democrats City council Woman Helena Moreno received some support from
prominent New Orleans politicians this week Moreno held a press
conference announcing the endorsements of former Congressman Cedric Richmond, Attorney
(09:45):
General Jason Williams, sorry A District Attorney Jason Williams, and
Public Service Commissioner Devonte Lewis. Richmond says he's been behind
Moreno since the start of a campaign. Williams said he
has known Moreno since they both served on the city
council together. Some polls are showing her with close to
fifty percent of the vote, and she has a political
fund that's over one point seven million dollars she can
spend on her campaign. That's far more money than any
(10:06):
other candidate in the race.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
You know, we keep talking about this mayor's race in
New Orleans. Nothing's going to change. All of these candidates
are just another variation of the current mayor.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Second thing you needed to beerform. New Orleans judge throughout
a lawsuit by Airbnb and a local property owners against
a New Orleans ordinance limiting short term rentals in the city.
The lawsuit claimed that the new ordinance was overly restrictive,
but the judge in the case ruled that property owners
do not have a fundamental right to offer up their
properties for short term rentals, and that the city does
have the right to require a permit for short term rentals.
(10:41):
The new ordnance also requires platforms like Airbnb and verbo
to verify that the property owners have the correct permits
before allowing those properties to be listed on their sites.
The law was passed in twenty twenty three and it
can now go into full effect.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Okay, so now the city of New Orleans, yeah, decides
who you can rent your proper already out to.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Or whether you can rent your property out at all.
And the third thing you know, before all of the
spray grounds in downtown Streeport was closed again. The public
spray grounds were reopened last month after having been closed
since twenty eighteen. Broken pipes and drainage problems caused the
seven year closure of the facility. Winter reopened this August.
People were able to enjoy playing in the water next
(11:21):
to the Red River, but not for long. In a statement,
Streeport Parks and Rec said, while operating the new system,
we noticed a few issues we want to address. Since
this is brand new technology, we're being proactive to make
sure everything runs smoothly. By tackling these adjustments now, we'll
be ready to operate with a reliable bug free system
that everyone can enjoy. It's not clear how long the
spray grounds will be closed this time.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
A bug free experience.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Well, I hope so yeah. I don't think like insect.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
No no, no, I just mean, look, this has to work
at this point, it's been closed for so long.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
If it's proactive maintenance, that's good. If they just don't
know what they're doing, that's bad.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Welcome back to American Ground Radio, Stephen Palmer lewisval You know,
I am always in awe of our audience, Okay, I
mean some of them are very silent, they're listening, they're
very smart.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
And then others they talk, they speak out, They text us.
You know, the greatest text line in talk radio.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Very easy to remember. One eight six six a g
R seventeen seventy six.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
And so, one of our very regular listeners said, in
response to the whole issue of doctor Cassidy urging doctor
Abraham Louisiana Surgeon General to write a blanket prescription yes
for every Louisiana and yes to get the COVID nineteen
vaccine right, which Robert F. Kennedy Junior calls the deadliest
(13:59):
vaccine ever.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
I think the facts bear that out. I really do.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
I will if you ever wonder how rfk Junior feels
about the COVID nineteen vaccine, that pretty much tells you.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I mean, there's no doubt.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Look, there's no doubt.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
The vaccine did save lives for people primarily over the
age of sixty five. For people over the age of
sixty five, the vaccine was very effective in stopping a
lot of desks. Now, it didn't stop the spread of
the disease, so we were lied to about that, but
it did decrease the number of deaths for people over
the age of sixty five. However, for people under the
age of thirty five, there was an increase in specific
(14:34):
types of death, specifically myocarditis and perry cardis. And for
those under the age of eighteen, the vaccine was far
more deadly than the virus.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
And he saw that in many athletes. Oh yeah, that
just dropped dead.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Famous athletes in the World Cup. Athlete just drops down
to the ground so hard.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
One of our listeners texted in and said, how about
Cassidy write the prescription and he takes the liability, And
then he went on to say he can't keep his credibility.
It's gone now. That was in response I guess to
what we were talking about, that Cassidy is trying to
keep his credibility. I guess on both sides of the
(15:14):
fence here, both with the the MAGA folks that are
anti vaccine and the laugh that is pro vaccine.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Well, I don't think it's even that he's trying to help.
I don't think Cassidy's trying to win favor with the voters.
I think Cassidy is desperately trying not to offend Donald
Trump because.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
While still voting his conscience, While doctor Cassidy still votes
his conscience because he does believe that the vaccine is.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Important and people should have And by the way, no
one's outlawed the vaccine if your doctor wants to give
you the vaccine. But Cassidy's sad scene.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Look, spare Louisiana's. What Cassidy has said is spare Louisiana's
the inconvenience and the spence of going to see their doctor.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
What physician thinks that people shouldn't go see their doctor,
especially for something.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Where well, the science is settled here on these are
in a vaccines.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Apparently it's not clearly it's not. But look, Cassidy is
trying to make sure that he doesn't get on Donald
Trump's bad side again. He is running for re election,
saying that right now in the second term, he is
Donald Trump's right hand man. Trump wouldn't have gotten half
of his cabinet picks without Bill Cassidy. Bill Cassidy's working
(16:33):
hand in hand with Donald Trump. That's that's what Bill
Cassidy said on this show.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
It's hard to keep up with it really is. But
that's what he said on the show. Right, it is okay,
But what I'm what we're seeing today doesn't seem to
bear that out.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
The problem is is that he fundamentally disagrees with RFK Jr.
And Cassidy was a big COVID vaccine fan, and City
talked about masking out. But that's the City talking about
six FA. But he's a doctor and that's his medical opinion.
I get that he is entitled to that, but he
(17:09):
was wrong on these things. He was wrong about the
vaccine for people under the age of thirty five. He
was wrong about masks, he was wrong about, you know,
staying home. He was wrong about a lot of stuff.
Now he's not the only one. Basically everybody in big
medicine and in government medicine was wrong on the COVID vaccines.
(17:29):
The people who were right about it were people who went, wait,
this doesn't make any sense. The virus dies at six feet. Wait, wait, wait,
there's an anti there's an anti viral that we can take,
and if we take it within the first forty eight hours,
it actually significantly improves the outcome. Why why can't I
take that?
Speaker 3 (17:48):
No? Absolutely, well, speaking of folks who have gotten it right,
there is a lawsuit before the United States Supreme Court
dealing with gun rights and the state of Washington.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yeah, so you're gonna get We're gonna get to that.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
We are, Yeah, later on in the show. Oh yeah,
you know, I really should, I really should. I should
pay attention to the show notes to what's coming up.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Yes, yeah, yeah, No, we're going to get to that.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
So what we're going to be talking about, essentially, is
a Washington law that bans the sale and possession of
firearm magazines that hold no more than ten rounds. And
some folks say, well, that's just common sense safety, that's
just a common sense safety measure.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
How is that coming?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Well, I mean that's that's how the left sells it.
Nobody who needs more than ten rounds? They would say, right, well,
you're trying to abody who wants to take eleven shots?
I mean, I mean, well, they say it's about reducing
mass shootings.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Okay, but all right, Look, the shooting that happened up
in uh was it Michigan at the church right in
the Minnesota, Minnesota, Minnesota. You're right, he was in Minneapolis, Minnesota,
all right. So he didn't have I don't think he
had more than ten rounds in his guns. What he
had was three guns, I mean, and even if he
(19:12):
did have ten rounds in those guns, he had more
guns too. So you know, well, this gun can only
have ten. Okay, Look, you're not gonna stop mass shooting.
Somebody wants to do mass shootings. If they can't get
a magazine that's illegal, they'll simply just get more guns. Okay,
(19:33):
this is this is a dumb, dumb thing. Obviously, we'll
be talking about this in much greater detail. Yes, we
dig deep into this subject. But this case is before
the United States Supreme Court, and Attorney General Liz Merle
has signed on joined the Ammack State of Louisiana onto
this lawsuit, and they filed a Friend of the Court
(19:54):
right as brief as they would say. Boy, k this
New York City mayor's race, it looks like and we're
going to be going to New York City next month
and participate as part of a mayoral forum. Right, You
and I have been asked to go up to New
York to talk to the folks in the City of
(20:15):
New York about the importance of this mayor race, about
the danger of Hofstra University officers University. We're gonna be
up there in October, and about the danger of electing
a socialist to be the largest city in the country.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Let me just tell you something. I don't know what
we're gonna find when we walk onto that campus, because
right now, there's a poll that has been conducted by
Sienna and the New York Times. Yes, this, Mam Danny,
this zionist. He holds anti Zionists, anti Zionist, I should say,
(20:49):
he holds a commanding twenty two percent lead over former
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. So and he's currently projected
he is it's currently projected to win the mayor of
New York City with forty six percent of the vote.
Cuomo is back at twenty four percent.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Right, So, basically, mom, Dommy's about to double up Cuomo.
Do folks understand what this represents? Do folks understand the
precedent that this is going to set the message that
this is going to send not just across this country
but all around the world that this kind of hate. Yeah,
this kind of vitriol can win at the ballot. Yes,
(21:36):
I mean.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
I thought hate speech was something that the left and
the right wanted to outlaw.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Well not the right doesn't want to outlaw speech, but yes,
the left wants to outlaw hate speech unless it's your
hate speech, unless it's the hate speech that you like. See,
that's the problem with outlying speech is that the only
speech that gives outlawed is a speech you disagree with.
If you're in power, you agree with calling Israel evil.
You know, we should globalize the inta Fada. That's what
(22:06):
Mondamia said, globalize the ina.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I mean, this guy is a left wing radical. I
mean he's a.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Socialist, and he's anti Semitic, and he is going to
be the mayor of the largest city in United States
of America.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
And if you think people are moving out of New
York City now, Jess, wait.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
You're listening to American ground radio out in these parts.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Some folks call it radio.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
We call it the last campfire of the American spirit.
Stoke the fire of freedom with American ground radio.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Welcome back, to American Ground Radio Stephen.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
So, apparently the Iten Widening project, the Ien Widening project
in Baton Rouge. Yes, the big dig of Louisiana. Sure,
this was supposed to modernize traffic from Interstate one ten
past a Kadian Threatway. Well, now the completion date is
going to be twenty thirty one. Twenty thirty one, and
(23:28):
not because DOTD wanted.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
To tell you right.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
No, it took a local news team digging through public
records requests to discover the truth. Apparently there are still
twenty two properties that have not been acquired twenty two
to finish the widening project, so they can't even really
start on it. And until they're bought up, the project
(23:53):
can't keep moving, right, I mean, I mean this is government.
This is government in a nuts shell. They overpromise, they
under deliver, and then they shrug their shoulders and they
blame whatever.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
So sorry, I can't do it.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
So the DOTD spokesman, this is a Rodney mallet and
he actually said this. He said, the project is scheduled
to be completed in twenty thirty one.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Which is, by the way, just in my keeping track
at home, six years from now.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Now, if there is a global pandemic, a year of
supply chain issues, or a summer with ten hurricanes, that
timeline could change. In other words, he's blaming. Don't hold
your breath. I mean they're already building in excuses for
a project that's already years behind schedule.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Okay, My question is how long do you think you
would take Texas to widen a free way like that?
How long?
Speaker 3 (24:51):
How long? Yeah, this is one stretch of the interstate.
It's just from I Won ten to Perkins, Right, it's
not the whole highway, it's not the whole state.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Right. How long do you think Texas would take to
do that? Eight months? Nine months?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Seriously, But let me ask you something. It's a legitimate question.
And and you know, I don't think as long. I
think I think the perception would be the State of
Texas would be far more efficient and effective. And the
question is how long have they known that they need
to acquire these properties?
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Since they started, since day one? Exactly? Let's dig deep,
going down well, as we sort of teased in the
last block, Louisiana's Attorney General Liz Merle, is joining with
other attorneys general from red states across the country to
challenge a law in Washington State. The case is called
(25:45):
Gators Custom Guns, Incorporated Versus the State of Washington. Now,
I think it's interesting that it's called Gators because there
aren't any alligators in Washington State. But you know, hey,
look it's a great name, right. Louisiana should join. Could
be AT's Custom Guns. Could be a Louisiana native. Maybe
that moved up there, it started his own gun shop.
So Washington's Democrat controlled legislature passed a law banning magazines
(26:07):
in firearms with more than ten rounds. The gun shop sued.
Lower court found that the gun shop was right based
on recent Supreme Court president but that ruling was reversed
by the Washington State Supreme Court, which is also controlled
by Democrats. In that case is now being appealed to
the US Supreme Court. So you have the district attorneys
from Montana, Idaha, Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska,
(26:35):
New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah,
West Virginia, Wyoming, and the Arizona legislature all filing a
brief supporting the gun shop and opposing the Washington state.
By the way of those states, the only one that
voted for Kamala Harris was New Hampshire. But New Hampshire
has got a very strong Second Amendment tradition.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Okay, but let's get this straight up front. This whole
law that's before the United States Supreme Court is not
about safety. No, it's about control because the criminals aren't
going to follow it.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
They never do.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
I mean the gangs in Seattle are they lining up
to turn in their fifteen round block mags. I mean,
the drug dealers aren't aren't reading the statute books before
they load their ar fifteens. I mean this law, this
law is targeting law abiding citizens, gun owners who overnight
are told they're criminals for owning something that millions of
(27:32):
Americans use every single day.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
That's right, because millions of people have gun magazines that
are larger than ten ten bullets, right, can hold them?
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Right, they're not. These are not exotic magazines, they're not fringe,
they're not weapons of war.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
So the first line of the amicus brief that's been
signed that that Liz Merle joined into. Here's the first line,
and I love it. This case should not have been hard. Yeah,
this should not have been hard, says time and again
this court. The US Supreme Court has said that the
Second Amendment protects the right of citizens to bear arms
that are unquestionably in common use today for lawful purposes.
(28:10):
Plus ten magazines are in common use today, so they
are protected by the Second Amendment. I mean, you could
almost stop there, but they go through quite a detailed
list of press and other things. The Washington State Supreme
Court upheld the ban on large magazines basically by saying
that the meaning of arms right that Congress shall make
no law prohibiting the possession of firearms. Right the right
(28:35):
to bear arms. So the Washington State Supreme Court says,
the meaning of arms does not apply to ammunition. Okay,
so it's a paper weight. You can have the gun.
How is it the ammunition.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
I mean, the definition of firearm is that it fires
a bullet or some projectile.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
But the court was like, look, we can't stop you
from having the gun, but we can stop you from
having bullets.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Okay, that that still is an infringement right of our
Second Amendment right.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
So the amicus brief rights a magazine is not an
optional accessory. It is a defining characteristic of a repeating firearm.
They are only accessories in the same sense that a
motor vehicle's gas tank is an accessory.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
You know, and here's the other part, because you know,
you could say, who needs a thirty gallon gas tank? Sure,
you're on your car, I mean seriously, yeah. But and
some they'll make the same argument. Why do Americans need
magazines with more than ten rounds? Because self defense. Here's
the thing about self defense. You don't get to pick
how many attackers are coming at you. You don't you
(29:39):
don't get to pick whether they're armed right. You don't
get to pause the fight after ten shots and reload
at your leisure.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
And you also don't get to guarantee that, in a
moment of high stress and drama, that you're going to
be a good shot. Just because there are three people
attacking you doesn't mean you only need three bullets. You
may not have ever been in the city situation before,
and having ten bullets going out of your gun does
it mean you're going to hit ten people?
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Well, And by the way, for those who say, well,
we need to cut down on mass shootings. Have you
seen the number of guns that these mass shooters bring
to these events. They're loaded for bear, They've got several guns,
several magazines. So this law, I mean, if somebody brings
five guns that are completely loaded with maxed out, how.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Is this law helping the victims?
Speaker 3 (30:30):
How is it going to reduce the number of mass shootings.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Secondly, they said that large magazines weren't commonly used in
self defense, but that's not part of the constitutional test.
It's whether they are in common use, not common use
for self defense. And yes, large magazines are very common.
Again from the brief, it is indisputable that in the
modern United States that magazines of up to thirty rounds
for rifles and up to twenty rounds for handguns are
(30:56):
standard equipment for many popular firearms.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Now, the folks in washing Hington State, they're getting hustled
by their own government.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
They're hustling themselves. No, the voters voted for this Washington State.
It's the conservatives are getting screwed over by the majority
Democrat population. But the majority Democrat population liked this law.
This was a very popular law among the leftists that
live in Washington State. They're hustling themselves, but it's because
they just have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the human
(31:26):
brain works. And criminals aren't going to go oh gosh,
that losses. I can't have a thirty round magazine. Sorry, guys,
we'll have to start the drive by tomorrow with slingshots.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Yeah, let's read the Second Amendment again. Shall not be
infringed if we forget that. If we forget that, we
don't just lose our guns, we lose our freedom.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I'm very glad that the Attorney General for the Stay,
louisiannalysm will signed onto this brief on our behalf. It's right.
It's a good pushback against the unconstitutional instincts of the left.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
You're listening to American ground radio.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Welcome back to American Grave Radio, Stephen Paul with Lewis
ar Avloni down in New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Yeah, you know, you've got these independent living facilities, the
so called independent living facilities where seniors go not because
they need like round the clock medical care, okay, but
because they want a sense of community. Sure, you know,
where they can live out their golden years with dignity,
et cetera.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
You can get you know, a smaller place. It's not
as much maintenance, not as much upkeep as you know,
maybe the home net where they raise their kids and
their family and all that. You can downsize and yet
you're still able to be independent, still able to have
you know, grocery stores nearby that you can get to
without having to you know, drive.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
I still need assistance. Sure, and the staff there is
still needed, yes, all right, able to help out. And
we saw that during Hurricane Idam. Oh yeah, when you
had some of those independent living I guess residents who
died because the facilities had no power, no evacuation plan,
(34:14):
no backup plan whatsoever. Staff left, the staff abandoned them.
So Louisiana passed a law, and the law says these
facilities must have a disaster plan in place. It sounds
very simple, very sub common sense. Sure, we live in
hurricane Alley, after all, you need that. But here's the
ridiculous part. Oh three years later now where three years
(34:37):
later passed Hurricane Eyed I believe, okay, one third of
these facilities, roughly twenty four out of seventy one in
New Orleans are still not in compliance. Still not in compliance.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
With just making a plan. It doesn't even have to
be a good plan. You just got to make a plan.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Because here's the other right, because and the other part
of this that is kind of this gaping hole in
the law. Independent living facilities aren't regulated by the state.
Nursing homes they're regulated, but assisted living apartments, those are regulated,
but independent living facilities are not. That's somehow that's different. Okay,
(35:25):
they're not. They say, Well, the argument is they're not
medical facilities, that they're about socialization, that they're not designed
for critical care. But give me a break. You're still
housing seniors, many of whom are frail, many of whom
don't have family nearby, many of whom who can't just
grab an uber to evacuate when a hurricane is barreling down.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Right, Because some part of the reason why people will
move into these places is that they no longer feel
safe to drive, you know, and run errands and things
like that. And yeah, so.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
And so the city's given them fines, but there's no
eth to them. It's a slap on the wrist. And
I mean a fine is a fine going to keep
the lights on when the grid goes down?
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Well, it depends upon how big the fine is, I guess.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
I mean, I don't know about that. I mean, it
is a fine going to provide oxygen tanks when the
air conditioning cuts off.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
You know, what they should do is name and shame.
And instead of just having a fine, do they have
a list of all the places that have failed to
create a emergency plan, and if so, why don't we
put that on the news, because you know, the customers,
the people have a right to know whether the facilities
that they're at are following the law or not.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
Well, the City of New Orleans needs to enforce the law.
If a facility doesn't have a plan, shut it down, period,
no excuses, no delays, and require backup power in these
facilities because hurricanes happen and seniors have died time and
time again when these out occur. And if you house seniors,
(37:04):
you need a generator. End of discussion, end of discussion period.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Oh probably more than one, Frankly for a facility that large.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Oh well, of course, yeah, one that's appropriately sized for
that facility. But it is absolutely ridiculous that you have
nearly a third of independent living facilities in New Orleans
and they're still out of compliance because they have they
have no disaster planning. Was this a New Orleans ordinance
or is this a state It was a New Orleans ordnance,
New Orleans ordinates because of Hurricane Ida, frank this should
(37:35):
be there.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Should be a state law. I think all of I
think these independent living facilities across the entire state because
we've had hurricanes go into Lake Charles, We've had hurricanes
go into Lafayette, We've had hurricanes head up towards Shreveport.
You can get winter storms, you can get you know,
weather happens year round. You can get tornado outbreaks, you
can get you know, power outages. All of these places
(37:59):
need emerging sy plans in place.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
And here's the part of it. The City of New
Orleans takes the money for the licenses these independent living
facilities have to pay right that they have to have
to obtain right. So they're taking the money, yes, but
they're not enforcing the law. They're not enforcing the law.
(38:22):
And the thing is, when the next storm comes, all
the excuses in the world is not going to keep
people alive.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
It won't matter.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
Yeah, I mean, plans will, right, the plan, the evacuation
plan will, generators, good will, real accountability will. But until
that happens, you've got twenty four out of seventy one
independent living facilities that are in non compliance. And that's
another day of risk, another day of frankly, of government failure.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
I mean, you were close to one out of three,
is about that, right?
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Yeah, that's I mean that's a real, real problem. And
for folks that have loved ones in those facilities, they
have a right to know whether those facilities have an
emergency plan.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
But does this surprise you. I mean, the city of
New Orleans is run by Democrats, it has been for decades.
They pass laws, they don't enforce them.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Well, they think they're just passing laws. We were talking
about this with the gun thing. They think they's passing
the law solves the problem. Oh, the Left love's passing laws.
They love regulation, they love expanding government authority. But when
it comes time to actually enforce those laws to actually
deliver results, yeah, or to crickets to more importantly, to
get the end result of what it is you pass
(39:36):
the law in the first place for, and the end
result is safety. It's not just about creating red tape.
It's about safety. Have we taken safety into account?
Speaker 3 (39:46):
This isn't just incompetence, its negligence in the people of
New Orleans. Very frankly, they deserve better.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
We'll brab back Instagram.

the bristcut.
Speaker 3 (40:36):

lot of folks when they go in, they go, you know,
I heard you on being advertised on American Ground.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
So go check them out. Seven twenty nine Jorden Street

I like it a lot a lot, and our listeners
will love it absolutely. Right.
Speaker 3 (41:23):
You know, do you believe in UFOs? No, you do
not believe in unidentified flying objects whatsoever. You don't think
that there is life on or in other galaxies.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
Well, if there's a life in another galaxy, there's no
way they got here.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
If there's like wait, wait, wait wait, how do you
know this?
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Have you seen the distances? Well?
Speaker 3 (41:48):
I mean, I mean maybe there's technology that allows folks
to I mean you've seen Star Trek, right, you can step.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
For Okay, but even in Star Trek, they never leave
the galaxy.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
Okay. Well, here's the thing. Apparently a US Air Force
veteran testified before Congress today that he witnessed a silent,
one hundred foot triangular UFO at Langley Air Force Base. Okay,
and it just and then it disappeared. See.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
One of the things that makes me not really believe
a lot of the UFO stuff is our military has
actually admitted that most of that alien stuff in Roswell,
New York and New Mexico was the military intentionally deceiving
the press to cover up secret aircraft works. That's what
they were doing. That's why Roswell's famous for UFOs, just
because the American military was doing.
Speaker 3 (42:42):
Stuff I don't know. I'm not going to rule out UFOs.
Speaker 1 (42:45):
