Bide holes, bieliticians addressed to jigittheaters and magicians. First you see the
money, then you don't. There'snothing to feel the holes while there are
filling their pockets bide holes, thepoliticians mounting down the root. Every fighter's

(00:23):
wishin to no more corruption and dysfunctionis gonna take divine interven shuns and God
bless all out there. You arenow listening to the founders. So the
voice of the founding fathers, yourfounding fathers coming to you. Deep within

(00:44):
the bowels of those mystic and crypticalligator swamps are the big easy that old
Crescent City, New Orleans, Louisiana, And high up on top of that
old every sarpents tree, way outon the Eagles Branch. This is no
Then you've spend gary by by allthe republic chaplain Hi mckenry with but wait,

(01:07):
wait, wait a minute. Isit true that the Wild West is
going to meet old New Orleans?Are we going to learn something from the
wild West, the gunslinging days ofthe Old West? I don't know,
but I think my partner has somethingto say about it. Here is my

(01:29):
partner, Christopher Tidney. You Roviereporter, resident Radical Moderate and associate editor
of the Louisiana Weekly newspaper at LouisianaWeekly dot net. And Hi, if
you hear roaring behind me, that'sthe Yellowstone River coming out of Yellowstone National
Park where I'm at the beautiful AskabasitaLodge overlooking the back of the park in

(01:49):
the town of Gardner. And it'skind of funny. It's sort of feast
or famine. I was here lastyear and the water levels were horrendous,
very low. Now they're very high. But what did happen last year was
that the bridge leading out of YellistonePark was washed out. So it's kind
of connected. Been very interesting toconnect the state of Montana with Yellowstone Park.

(02:15):
But it shows that infrastructure is collapsingin our national parks. A lot
of work is going in of late, and it is kind of fun to
be up here and seeing the newroads that have been put in and the
new actions that are going. Infrastructureis a lot of the conversation that we're
having in Louisiana of late. It'sthe subtext of a lot of races.

(02:37):
The appropriations bills just came from theLouisiana legislature I was reviewing them. It's
interesting how money goes directly to someprojects but not to others. It's all
the question of who makes the finallist when the governor has the line nights.
In veto, I can also saythat the Louisiana State Museum, of
which I said on the board,did not get a huge amount of hardly

(03:00):
very little. But some projects do. Sometimes they're legitimate, sometimes we've questioned
whether or not they should be.There So much to talk about on today's
show, and I do want totalk a little bit more about what I'm
observing having a trip that has lastedthrough the National parks, starting by private

(03:22):
train to Moab and the Arches andCanny Lands Beautiful Desert level National Parks,
through Salt Lake City up to Yellowstoneand off to Glacier National Park. Lots
to talk about, but we needto start off with talking about some of
the elections that are coming up inthis election cycle, who qualified and some

(03:46):
of this means. And I wantedto talk about how appropriations start off affect
races, and one of those isthat there is a heritage center in the
town of Genre Defeat, of whichthere was a major appropriation and it ended
up getting vetoed. He got throughthe legislature, passed and was line item
vetoed by the governor by Governor JohnBell Edwards at the behest of the state

(04:11):
senator that represents the area, hisname is Patrick Connick. Now Connick says
he didn't tell the governor this,but people in the Governor's office tend to
say he did. What was interestingabout the appropriation is it was directly benefited
not just not the Heritage Center inJean Defitte, but it was a personal
pet project of the Kurner family andof course the Sky the Kurners have been

(04:32):
in the mayor's office of Jean Lafitte, and Jean Lafitte was created as a
city almost fifty years ago, andthat has drawn him the opposition of the
Sky and the Kurner family. Andwhat's fascinating about this is Patrick Connick,
for those non no brother of PaulKnick, nephew of Harry Connick, member
of the Knick dynasty. He upuntil this race he's running for re election

(04:55):
state senator, has had the singulardistinction from the first time he announced state
representative in two thousand and seven tothe current day, he has never ever
had an opponent. Let me rephrasethat, from the first time he decided
to run. He's never even somuch has had a token person qualify against
him. Race after race after race. He has proven one of the most

(05:17):
effective legislatures. If anybody drives acrossthe Mississippi River Bridge without a toll,
you can thank Patrick Connick for it. He was the leader of the race
the tolls effort. He's the onewho led the election challenge when the election
was in dispute. He's somebody whohas played constituent services very closely. But

(05:39):
he's pulled a tough opponent and Karner, who I mean, the Klner family
has a range, and what itis is you're going to see the politics
of Jefferson Parish on the West Bankin a way you've never seen it before.
Now, for those Patrick Connicks,district stretches from essentially most of the
West Bank communities written all this allthe way down to the Gulf of Mexico.

(06:01):
It also includes the town of belChase, But most of the time
it's somebody who represents this particular Senateseat is from the New Orleans suburbs.
Case of Conic you know, helives right on the Jefferson Parish suburbs,
right on the West Bank. Thisisn't an action. There is a lower

(06:24):
Jefferson Parish. People forget about that. You know, grand Isle, Jean
Lafitte and all these communities are actualnot only towns, but they vote.
And it's we're going to see whetheror not the lower communities of Jefferson are
able to flex their political muscles inthis race. It's the first of several
Jefferson Parish races we're going to becovering. I mean, there's a lot

(06:46):
of incumbents that are being challenged andI think this is a good thing.
I mean, whether you think incumbentshould or should not be challenged, I
will say that having very hot racesat the top of the ticket will drive
turnout. We had Dominic and Pistatoon last week. Of course, he's
running against Scott Walker, the formertelevision news guy who's had a pretty good

(07:10):
term in the office. It's it'sgoing in. You've got Jennifer van Frankin
running against Ricky Templet, who waswho was a legend of Westbank politics and
what did he used to do well? He used to do something very similar
to comic and this is a eastBank Westbank Jennifer van Frankin is. If
ever there is a example of sortof a Metory old politician, it is

(07:34):
she. She's very hard working,she's sacred heart graduate actually, and she's
running against pretty much one of thepolitical leaders of the West Bank. And
what is a classic east Bank Westbankcontest. Walker's is a classic Metory versus
Kenner contest with a west Bank beingthe wall card and Domini Epistado saying it

(07:54):
but was interesting to see who didnot draw opposition. No one would take
on Cynthia Lee Shang after John Young'sdrubbing four years ago from her incumbent seeking
his old job and losing Tory HarryLee's daughter, so definitively there was nothing
nobody wanted to take that risk theirway until she's term limited, but also
not challenged just Joe Lapinto, andJoe Lapinto is somebody I have a great

(08:20):
respect for. He's been in avery effective sheriff. Have you noticed high
that there haven't been a lot ofthe recruiting challenges in Jefferson that there is
in Orleans. Part of that isLapinto. He's done a couple of things
I've I've questioned. One of themis rolling forward millages. But he has
increased police pay and morale and JPSOis very high. And since everybody works

(08:46):
for the sheriff, there's no civilservice. You might think that's a bad
thing in many cases, it is. In this particular case, it allows
him a great deal of flexibility injobs hiring, and for the most part,
people have a trust in him.Even and this is going to surprise
some people they didn't really have inhis predecessors. For those that don't know
Joan Lapinto well, he started offas a cop and was a lawyer and

(09:11):
then a state representative, winning inthe same election Pat Connach did two thousand
and seven representing the Metory area andhe lived in the business area. He
he himself comes from a famed policefamily. His father was a famed NPD
officer. They've been involved in it. It's it's really in the blood.

(09:33):
This is a blue Bloods type ofsituation. If you watch the show,
the Lapintos are living proof for theblue Buds in so many ways, and
it's kind of shown that sometimes youcan be very popular and even in competitive
cycles, even when you know peoplesee an opportunity, and the Jefferson Paras
Sheriff controls the largest budget of anysingle organization at the discretion of any one

(09:54):
man in the state of Louisiana,and or arguably in many parts of the
country. It's one of the largest. It's a much larger department, for
example, not just in officers butin scope than NPD. Is such a
fight to fight ahead of NPD,but very little in Jefferson Parish. And
so a lot of this we'll gettalk about this upcoming races, what's going

(10:16):
on on the North Shore, it'sgoing on in Saint Bernard, all the
council races, and particularly the downticket races in the various offices from Lieutenant
governor on down that are fighting fortheir position, and how this all exists
in the shadow of the governor's race. Here on the founders, show your
thoughts. I well, Christopher,as always, I am impressed, while

(10:39):
you're mine is literally pregnant with dataand information about the soon coming elections.
Folks. In weeks we will begoing to the polls, So this is
not too early to be talking aboutit. The complexities of it, and
the Wheelands and Delons and the nuancesof it are absolutely amazing. And Christopher's

(11:01):
got it all down. That's hisjob, folks. He is our sewage
engineer on this program, and I'mtalking about political septic tanks. Christopher knows
how to negotiate all those things foundin septic tanks better than anybody I've ever
knew. He's got it down,and not so much that he's always right
or that I always agree with him, As you know, I don't always

(11:24):
agree with him. But it's fascinatingto see what's going on in our greater
New Orleans area and in the state. But of course we're focused on the
broadcast audience of this station, whichis a greater New Orleans area, and
the West Bank is quite an interestingI mean we mentioned earlier. I said,
Wow, we're gonna have something fromthe West, the Wild West.

(11:46):
How do we connect It's the WildWest in some way connected to New Orleans,
the swamps of our city. Well, folks, maybe it is because
you noticed Christopher mentioned wild and hementioned West in the same set. What's
going on here, folks? Isthere something spooky happening the Hanks getting involved

(12:07):
with this thing? Do I needto call coast to coast just getting folks.
Anyway, if we want to begood Americans, we need to be
aware of the politics, even ifyou don't like and I don't like the
political world. I hate it's sodirty and filthy. I just I don't
even like to think about it.But it doesn't matter. I have a
duty to understand all this stuff andto make a good vote when I go
vote or votes. I need toreally, you know, do do my

(12:31):
due diligence and be responsible to mycountry, my nation. Uh, it's
important, folks. You know,if you don't, if you don't,
if you ignore the politicians, Ipromise you, they're not going to ignore
you, and they may do thingsyou don't like. So if you're on
top of it, we have amuch better chance of fighting the bad guys

(12:52):
and establishing good government. That's thegoal. That's the the role of a
true patriot in America or anywhere inthe world. Wherever you live, you
should be taking care and looking afteryour own nation's dealings if you have that
right we do in America. Andyou call it a right, but really
it's even more than a right.It is a duty. It is a

(13:13):
responsibility. Yeah, it's a right. For sure, but it puts us
in the position of duty and takingresponsible action, doing your homework, trying
to figure all this stuff out andmake a good, good choice. So,
folks, I know Christopher's got alot more good stuff for us.
This is getting so fascinating as he'she's running around romping and riding and carrying

(13:37):
on out there in the wild West. Oh, what a lucky guy.
Huh, Christopher, you're blessed.You're blessed to have such wonderful trips like
this. And by the way,Christmas a tour guide out there, he's
working. He's not just partying.He is a working He worked. I've
worked as a tour guide. It'shard work, folks, believe me.
It's very It's not a vacation.You have to deal with a whole lot

(13:58):
of things, and Chris Fress dealwith all while he's on this job right
now. So so, Christopher,I know you've got some more exciting things
for us. I'm looking forward tothe next topic you're going to bring up.
And so, without further ado,take it away, Christopher. Hi,
I wanted to bring up one otherobservation of Jefferson Parish politics before we
move on to another subject. Andthis is something that you have talked about

(14:20):
very astutely over the last few years. You know, a critical threshold was
passed. According to Democratic surveys thisyear, African Americans now constitute at least
thirty three percent or third of theJefferson Parish population, with more than fifteen
percent identifying as Hispanic. Now dothe math on that. What are you

(14:41):
getting close to fifty percent at currentrates of growth. In fact, the
twenty twenty three elections, with earlyvoting starting, we're going to remember just
on September thirtieth, may stand asthe last quadrennial cycle where Caucasians and Jefferson
go to polls as a majority ofthe population at least to elect their parish

(15:01):
leaders, similar to a phenomenon that'salready going on in Saint Bernard politics,
another suburban parish they carved its currentpolitical dynamics after surging in population from the
white flight in nineteen seventies. Demographyhigh has the potential to swing many key
parish elections. The thing is,though, that most of the candidates running

(15:24):
underestimate the impact of minorities approaching apolarity of the electorate. They don't really
understand their voting strength. Geography,more than race, underpinned most of the
electoral contests this year in Jefferson Parish. Yet a simple cross racial appeal could
prove the outset in many of thesecontests. Take the battle royal of the

(15:50):
political dynasts. At least that's whatI'm calling it. State Senator Pat Connick,
the nephew and brother of district attorneys, was never before suffered an opponent
in any of his elections, facesa serious challenge from Tim Kerner Jr.
On the surface, the contest forthe West Banks eighth Senatorial District appears as
a gop turf fight, with Kerner, a scion of the family which has

(16:11):
ruled John Lefittetown politics since the city'screation, facing off against the Conic clan
strength in the New Orleans suburbs.However, more than the North South Jefferson
divide from the Gulf up to theWest Bank, the increasingly vocal Black community
of the West Bank, which isclose a priority of the electorate, stands

(16:33):
as the natural kingmaker. Neither Cocknor Kerner has truly found an effective means
to appeal to Black voters, muchless Hispanics. In a measurable way,
though Conick knows their power. Hisuncle Harry, if you remember, effectively
constructed by racial coalitions in Orleans Parish, keeping him in office long after the

(16:56):
city achieved an African American majority.Like Pocconick has reached out to the black
leadership in Jefferson Parish's West Bank,Yet in the all Republican contests, there's
a limit to how far he cancoalition build without being outflanked on the right
by Kerner. The same dilemma facesthe two geographically influenced Jefferson Parish at large

(17:17):
contest division. A incumbent Rickey Templatewon his parish wide seat unopposed. So
powerful was his base in Gretna,where he previously served as a city councilman
and state rep before representing the WestBank in a district council seat this year,
though district fives, Jennifer Van Franklinseeks to outs Template and what appears
on the surface as a mettery versusGretna slugfest. However, Van Franklin high

(17:41):
has serious attempts has made serious attemptsto garner allies in the local African American
community, particularly in templates West Bankbase. Both are Republicans, so they
faced the partisan limited on their appealwith Black voters, but African Americans could
prove the wild card in this raceand in the division contest as well.
District four Councilman dominic Im Pistado,who is on our show just a couple

(18:04):
of weeks ago, aims to unseatat large incumbent Scott Walker and what would
seem to be a Kenner versus Metorycontest, and Pistato has also earned the
support of most of the Westbank politicalelite. The question remains whether he can
influence the African American vote, casta ballot for his candidacy and take out
the incumbent. If Pistado has laboredhard to rule the black electorate, acutely

(18:26):
aware of the changing demographic realities ofJefferson Parish, however, he faces the
normal African American hesitancy to vote forany Republican. Black voters often skip the
line on the ballot where no Democratsare options. I've seen this in time
and time again in elections throughout themetro area, where you will have turnout

(18:47):
numbers and you will have a judgeship lower in the ballot than an all
Republican contest higher on the ballot.It doesn't make logical sense until you look
at the black percentage of voters andyou realize that the difference in numbers is
literally the difference in black vote forthe most part. Perhaps a better bell
weather to the strength because of thispartisan reality. A better way of looking

(19:10):
at the Black strength and Jefferson Parishmay come from the either open District five
contest for the council, where AfricanAmerican Democrat Howard Eugene Harper Jr. Seeks
to wrote the score against the favoredRepublican and former Judge Hans Lesireburg, or
the Bessie one seat where Black DemocratLauren Jewett seeks to beat former State rep

(19:33):
and GOP stalwart Paul Hollis. Thoughthe north Shore South Shore makeup of this
district favors him. How she faresthough in the Jefferson precincts, will hearken
to how black candidates will fare inthe parish wyat in the coming years.
You know, in Orleans politics inthe nineteen sixties and seventies, the African
American community were the kingmakers for thewhite candidates until they became the majority,

(19:56):
and white candidates were the kingmakers eventuallybecame the kingmakers in the black community.
Well, the question is whether AfricanAmericans will vote for a Republican and be
kingmakers or are we approaching a placewhere it will be strict partisan contest with
minorities about half the population and whitesabout half the population and essentially Republican versus

(20:18):
Democrat being a question of turnout.It's something we're going to find out in
the coming years in Jefferson Parish.But it's not your dad's Jefferson Parish.
It has changes, and I knowyou've talked a lot about these changes.
You feel it with your work inthe black community, you've seen these demographic
changes up front. I was curiouswhat you've heard from your own kids and

(20:38):
their parents about whether they vote andhow they vote, and whether they seem
like it, because I know youwork with a lot of black kids in
Jefferson Parish for LAMB NOLA. Yourthoughts high, oh question. You have
some fascinating insights about the demographics ofthe electorate, if you will, and
of course critically important for people inpolitics. Things are changing, aren't they.

(21:03):
We now got the great Black flightto the suburbs and the white flight
into the into the city. It'scrazy. Uh, the cities of being
the inner cities are being gentrified,and and the black folks are finding that
they can cash shin on their propertiesand make fortunes if you will, and
then go out in the proverb suburbsand buy a much nicer house for a

(21:26):
whole lot less money. So they'redoing it. And as far as my
kids go, I'm you know,I deal with the the urban poor,
inner city kids. Some of ourkids of the words literally future criminals of
America. I mean, we dealwith over the years, most of our
kids have been very very bad kidsfrom very bad situations, great tragedies.

(21:47):
It's heartbreaking to see what happens tothese kids and what the welfare system has
done to them. The welfare systemhas destroyed their families. You destroy family,
you're going to destroy children. Ithappens every time. It's unavoidable.
You take the father out of thehome, you just destroyed the family.
You take the mother out, you'vejust destroyed the family. However, this
is a system designed to keep thefather out of the home, and it's

(22:12):
criminal. What has happened to peoplewho have gotten under the welfare seduction,
the welfare curse, and and becauseof that, now they think the only
way they can vote as Democrat.You know, that's that's their gravy train.
That's what's gonna pay make their livesfor them. What a tragedy to
steal people's initiative, their their talents, their energy away from them because you're

(22:37):
turning them into just basically a bunchof lazy bums. And that's what it
does. And it's just one ofthe most hurtful, horrible things I've ever
seen happen. So trying to getour kids, or are the parents of
our kids? The usually the parentand many times that parent is a crack
cocaine whore, not all of ourkids. In fact, as of the

(22:59):
past I don't know, past fiveor ten years, for whatever reason,
we've been getting let's say, muchhigh higher caliber of kid. I prefer
the old days when we had thereally tough ones, the hard ones.
I don't know if it's because ofour age or what's going on, but
it's just worked out that way.But we've noticed that they will invariably you

(23:21):
know. Now, remember these kidsare not very politically savvy. They're not
interested in politics many times their parentsare not. They're interested in entertainment,
you know, the rap scene.They're interested in sports big time. They're
interested in the gang banger operations onthe street, the drug deals going down
on the street. That's where theirfocus is. They're interested in that,

(23:45):
which is just the saddest thing inthe world to think of that that occupies
their lives. So it's kind ofhard to find out where they would vote,
mainly because they don't care about voting. They're not that interested in the
police see kind of like me.They see it as a very ugly,
nasty thing and and just don't wantto even think about it. Really.

(24:08):
But we have noticed something recently.It's very interesting. It's shocking us.
We've seen some of our kids.They're like getting woke, but woke in
the right direction, meaning to theright. They're beginning to see what I
just said about welfare and how they'vebeen played and how their lives are being
destroyed by a Democrat controlled government.They're seen it. They're seeing the weaponization

(24:34):
of our government. These kids aretreat smart then they're a lot smarter than
people realize. But they're smarts isfor this freet That means they know a
con job. You know, theyknow someone who's coming and trying to put
put a deal over on them.And so there's they're seeing that more and

(24:55):
more that our government is being weaponizedagainst we the people. And we've got
a few of our kids now whoare zealous Trump supporters. It had nothing
to do with us. They shockedus. Now, I'm granted these are
kids that the ones I'm talking aboutare highly intelligent. Uh you know,
you get you get a complete smartestboard, complete spectrum of kids as far

(25:17):
as the their IQs go. Youhave some with low IQs meeting Mike us
high IQs. These are on thehigh IQ stage and they these and they're
actually two girls. They are there. We've always noticed how smart they are,
and they have come out and theysaid they told us, they said,
no, we have read, wehave studied the facts on this.

(25:38):
We know what's going on now andTrump is a great president and he is
being savaged and destroyed by the DemocratParty through government agencies that they're now controlling.
They see this. I was reallyamazed to see that they were that
sharp, that acute. Of course, that's my position on all this it's

(26:00):
a lot of people's half of America'sbelieve in this right now. But as
far as getting them to a majorshift, to start looking at the other
side, if you will, andreally the thing that we should vote on
people's positions, on their character,what they do, what we believe they're
gonna do, not by their partylabel. That should be the last thing

(26:23):
we look at. And it's justa shame that the nation is so divided
on that either a conservative or you'rea liberal. I'm always going to be
a conservative. But if there's aliberal. Okay, here's one. RFK.
He's a Democrat, and I guesshe would label himself as a liberal.
I'd vote for the guy yesterday.Why because we have so many of

(26:45):
the same Summler goals and understandings ofgovernment. He can see how the government
is corrupt, how corrupt it is, and he wants to fix it.
He's only Democrats saying that as faras I know, so I could easily
vote for him gladly. And Iam now a great fan of his uncle
JFK. Because I realized that JFKended up being one of the most conservative

(27:07):
presidents we've ever had. You lookat his policies. You look at what
he did. It ranks him asone of the most conservative presidents we've ever
had. And isn't it strange thatDonald Trump copied him in so many ways.
They would never savage JFK. Kennedy, Jonathan Stroke Kennedy. But they
sure go after Trump, don't they, because Trump is in the current And

(27:30):
by the way, don't say theydidn't go after Kennedy. I believe they
murdered him. I really do.I believe the deep state killed JFK.
He had just gone too far.He was. He was an extreme agitator,
if you will, an extreme disruptorof the status quo and of the
wheelands and dealonds, a big brothergovernment with big brother corporation, I the
military industrial complex. He had togo. He just gone too far.

(27:53):
That's another show. I can't evenget into that right now. But anyway,
Christa, those my thoughts on it. I hope there's a things are
changing with the minority communities and they'resaying that there really is. Uh they
don't have to be completely controlled bythe Democrat Party. And also one of
the other things I'm thinking about isthe Hispanics. There are a lot of
Hispanics who are very conservative and whoare are really uh you know, they've

(28:18):
they've worked hard for their what theyhave in life, nothing was given to
them. It's when you start spoilingpeople, whether they're rich or poor,
you start destroying them and you getcontrol over them. So that's why I
am on all this right now.What I see and what I see with
our kids. It's very good question, very good insight. Christopher on the

So we'll be right back, folks, and thank you so very very

(30:08):
much. Rescue, recovery, reengagement. These are not just words.
These are the action steps we atthe New Orleans Mission take to make a
positive impact on the homeless problem facingthe greater New Orleans area. Did you

(30:30):
know in twenty twenty homelessness in ourcommunity increased by over forty percent. We
are committed to meet this need throughthe work being done at the New Orleans
Mission. We begin the rescue processby going out to the community every day
to bring food, pray, andshare the love of Jesus with the hopeless

(30:52):
and hurting in our community. Throughthe process of recovery, these individuals have
the opportunity to take time out,assess their life, and begin to make
new decisions to live out their Godgiven purpose. After the healing process has
begun and lives are back on track, we walk each individual as they re

(31:12):
engage back into the community to behealthy, thriving, and living a life
of purpose. No one is meantto live under a bridge. No one
should endure abuse, no one shouldbe stuck in addiction. The New Orleans

bottles. Luis Folks were back andChristopers got some more great insights on the
political saint here in Louisiana. Howabout your insurance. You're happy with it.
None of us are in Louisiana,especially down here in New Orleans.
So Chris, for what's happened there, I think we got a new commissioner,
and of course we guessed he wasn'tconnected to the Gendal Bobby Jendal administration.

(32:21):
That's where Timmy Teeple was the likechief of staff or something. That's
take it away, Christopher, thankyou. Perhaps the biggest change in this
election season happened on Thursday, wherethe Ting Temple was elected insurance Commissioner without
a race. Do you remember heran for insurance Commissioner of Louisiana against Jim

(32:43):
Donalin four years ago and nearly bestedthe incumbent with forty seven percent of the
vote. And all this time hehad loaned himself a million dollars for the
race and was the loan Republican inthe race. However, his Democratic opponent
suddenly dropped out, which Weaver,a Democrat from Ascension Parish, was facing
a residency challenge from Tim Temple,and he withdrew on Thursday from the election

(33:07):
thinking that he could not afford Accordingto press reports, a challenge from Temple
on his residency. Now, havingsaid that, this is an interesting argument.
I've had candidates represent themselves and merelyshow their homeset exemption or their amount
that they've spent in a particular area. It's not incredibly complex to prove residency.

(33:28):
The rules are very open. Somister Weaver must not truly be a
Louisiana resident in a very easily verifiablecase. Tim Temple, this is a
long answer to a long sought position. He'd actually wondered if he was going
to be running against Jim Donald again. If you remember, four years ago,
Jim Donald had said he was goingto retire only to run for one

(33:49):
more term, and he looked atit running again this time very very seriously.
However, rising insurance cost and theother relations to it pretty much undermined
any potential situation of running. Friendof the term. Tim Temple, who
has pledged knowing lower insurance rates buthave more domestic carriers for underwriters, is

(34:10):
now the new insurance Comissioner of Louisiana, to be sworn in in January.
Your thoughts high here is my part, yes, Chris, for I don't
know a whole lot about him thathe has about he had his own insurance
agency for years. He was successfulwith it. He's a young guy.
He's got a lot of time aheadof him. He's a young guy,
guess in his forties, and sohopefully he's going to be a great insurance

(34:34):
commissioner. It's a great way towin a race with the other side.
Just don't done. Drops out.I loved myself. I love to be
in a race like that. Anyway, let's hear uh, I know you
got some more good stuff for us, Christopher. Let's say, what's your
next What are your next thoughts onthe state of Louisiana right now? It
ought to be very very very interesting. And by the way, Chris,

(34:55):
but what's the weather like up there? We're having all these strange weather patterns
across the country, heat and whateverare you hanging up? Are you doing?
Okay? I understand you got alot of water up there. That's
great. We sure needed up thereover in the north, big giant northwestern
part of America, those plain statesand all that beautiful land up there.
Christophrah, how is the weather inYellowstone? Just so we figured that we

(35:23):
don't just talk about Louisiana politics todaymight be worth talking about weather, because
that's what everybody has been talking abouthere in New Orleans, how hot it
is. But I was just upat the top of the going to the
Sun Road in Glacier National Park,as north as you can go in the
United States without hitting Canada, andexcept for Maine, perhaps up in the

(35:47):
northern part of Montown, right onthe border and at the top of the
Sun Road and sixty seven hundred feetit was ninety three degrees in the afternoon
about two thirty three o'clock. Nowit was a record temperature in Montana,
record temperature all over the place.And I know you often do not cater

(36:12):
to global warming, saying weathers allthis, but you know, I would
point out to you that heat andpestilence is often referenced in a certain book
at the end of a certain seriesof books, in a book called the
Greek for Book. And the factof the matter is things are getting hotter
everywhere. There are definite environmental changesthat are affecting the north of the country,

(36:36):
and in fact, as I headedover to Canada today, they are
actually affecting Canada. There's a seriesof massive wildfires in places that don't normally
have wildfires. Of this capacity inrecord heat in northern Canada. So I
point out to you that if it'sin ninety three degrees and sixty seven hundred
feet at the northern part of Montana, it's not just New Orleans that's the

(37:00):
heat, it's the whole country,and I dare say the whole northern hemisphere.
Your thoughts, yes, Christopher,I always have thoughts about this,
as you well know, I'm foreverbattling the chicken little loco eco freaks.
I think they lost their minds there. They're using exaggerations and just false claims,
very bad, non scientific, theirscience deniers. There's not a whole

(37:22):
lot of good I can say aboutthem. And the book you were referring
to, of course means it actuallymeans books in plural in Greek. You
said, you said it was inGreek. It's the coin A Greek and
that was the language of the commonman. It was the lingua franca of
the entire Mediterranean world, in theancient world, Mesopotamia, you know,

(37:42):
all the way into India. Thecommon language used by everybody, and specifically
it came from the common man wascoin A Greek, and Greece A pronounced
it Kena and what it means isit was the street language and it was
developed by Alexander the Great for hisarmy so that all the different types of

(38:07):
dialect, Greek dialects and whatnot,and even Persians in his army would be
able to understand his commands. Sothey created a language just for his army
called coin and Greek, and thatbecame the the actual language of the New
Testament. So and it actually meansbooks and plural. It doesn't mean one
book. It means many books,because the New Testament was many books.

(38:29):
And when you add the New andthe Old testamentce you get that you get
sixty six books. So those werethe sixty six books that actually made up
the book meaning the Bible. Andit is a biblical word biblia and so
great in Pyclas. So that's whatChristmas folks, for y'all didn't know,
didn't understand that little cryptic parlance thatjust went on there between Christmas. Myself,

(38:52):
he was reminding me that even theBible has things to say about climate.
Train has a whole lot of psycredswork. It describes some of the
worst climate situations in the history ofthe world. Just about that are quickly
coming upon us. And it hasnothing to do with the human race as
far as us, our industry,our pollution and whatnot creating the problem.

(39:15):
That we're not the problem as faras our scientific issues go. Let's say
our scientific weights, our scientific problems, that's really not what's causing climate change,
and our personally believe it's really causingit is our moral condition that God
is beginning to judge. This wholeworld is becoming a moral septic tank.

(39:38):
And the Bible says God would judgeus if we got that bad. That's
where I think it's coming from.But it's not because look, one volcanic
eruption produces more pollution, more gas, more toxic gases, more a larger
carbon footprint. One volcanic eruption thenall the cars and the factories do in

(39:59):
an entire year. Now you're gonnatell me that that's worse. What we
do is worse than one volcanic eruption. And by the way, they're about
five hundred kicking off every year.I mean, Mother Nature is so much
hard her and crueler to herself thanwe could ever even hope to be.
And let's what about forest fires.One forest fire, one big old forest

(40:22):
fire out west, or like theone in Hawaii, produces again more pollution
than all the cars and the factoriesdo a larger carbon footprint, and that
all the cars in factors are inan entire year. And this fire lasted
for a couple of days. Canyou see how the real problem here is
Mother Nature herself. But folks noworries. One thing about Mother Nature is

(40:45):
badly she beats up on herself.She is the most amazing, stunning ability
to heal herself. Remember, thisplanet has been up and down and around
and about with climate change for thousandsof years, thousands and right now.
As far as the climate condition,the heat and all that, it was

(41:05):
worse, It was worse than thiswhatever sixty seventy years ago. We have
records for it. It goes up, it comes down. You look at
the crossing of the Delaware and yousaw ice. If you see the picture
over there's George Washington and Allsman,and that puts it away ice. Well,
guess why there's no ice left inthe Delaware River. In fact,
there hasn't been ice in the DelawareRiver for over one hundred years, because

(41:28):
that was the ending of the LittleIce Age, imagine the Great Ice Age
now, Christmoher, I bet youhave maybe one more thing to tell me,
maybe about the climate. Do youhave any other final thoughts before we
put a rap on the show?But Hi, come on, all that
is well and good, but youcan't argue the fact that we can take
ice samples in Glacier National Park andwe can realize that ninety three degrees at

(41:52):
this time of year is the hottestit's been at the Going to the Sun
Road in twelve thousand years Let mesay that again. Twelve thousand years ago
it was when we still had glacierscoming and shaping parts of the country,
parts of the world. In fact, it did certainly the last shaping Glacier

(42:14):
National Park in the granite ten thousandfoot glaciers. But twelve thousand years ago
was it wasn't as hot as itwas at the top of Going to the
Sun Road. I mean, please, you gotta admit, even if you
disagree with the whole idea of climatechange, that is something very frightening,

(42:36):
Christopher. And guess what a hundredyears ago it was very frightening when they
found out other similar situations and otherplaces in the world. This has been
going on forever. And you sayit was twelve thousand years ago, where
you can find other places fifteen hundredyears ago. There were twelve thousand years
before for the first time they hadan extreme with the climate. This is

(42:57):
happening all around the world right now. The North Pole is melting. Uh.
You have areas that where they're likewhere used to be ice. It's
like giant lakes now. But guesswhat, the South Pole, the South
Pole Antarctica is expanding with ice.So we lose some ice up in the
North, we gain it down inthe south. A net gained a loss
of zero. That's what all thisis coming to mean, Christopher. And

(43:20):
it's just a shame that being we'rewhipped being whipped up into friends, into
panics. You know, the skyis falling. Oh, it's so terrible.
I'm so passionate about this lot atit. Think about the ice age,
and you've just mentioned it. Whenyou had giant glaciers gouging out the
Great Lakes, the ice was wasdown all the way down to the Guests,

(43:43):
down to around Tennessee in North America. Folks, we don't know anything
about climate change compared to what's happenedin the past, and we survived it.
We always will because God is gonnamake sure this planet survives in spite
of the judgment. And we haveheavy duty literally climate judgments coming upon us,

(44:05):
not caused by modern man, butcaused by I actually believe the devil.
And it's gonna work like this.The human race is God's gonna get
tired of the human race saying Idon't need you, I can do it
on my own, leave me alone. Finally, God's gonna say, okay,
I got the message, and God'sgonna back up. And as soon
as he does, guess who movesin Satan and guess what his goal is.

(44:25):
His goal is to kill, steal, and destroy. The scripture says
he will come in like a ravingmonster, and he knows how to use
climate. We see that in theBook of Job to destroy as much as
he possibly can. And that's gonnabe in the in the final seven years
of this earth. As you mentionedearlier, Christopher, from the Book of
Revelation. You didn't say it,but I'm saying it. And so yeah,

(44:47):
that those hard things are coming,They're coming. But folks don't blame
cars and you know, factories andwhatnot. We're not even a drop in
the bucket compared to what Mother natrides to herself. It's a thing.
It's just a rotten shame that thepeople are reporting on this and pushing it,
lies so much about it and neverput it in the right context,

(45:07):
and never put it in perspective.So anyway, that's all I got to
say. It's time for us togo for our final break, and we'll
be back with the Chaplinbabi patriarch moment, the gospel moment, and the watchman
on the wall. So hang hangingtheir folks will be right back. Folks

(45:28):
in chappanamic Internet, I'm here totell you about our ministry, LAMB Ministries.

We need volunteers, we need findus support, and we need prayer wars.
If you're so inclined, please callme Chaplin Hi Mhenry at Eric code
five zero four seven two three ninethree six nine, or again, just
go to our website lamb nola dotcom. That's lamb nla dot com.
And thank you so very very much, folks. It's no time for us

(46:20):
to go into the chaplain bubba.A patriotic moment. We just take a
brief moment to remind you of thebiblical foundations of our country, our Judeo
Christian jurisprudence. And today I wantto talk about none other than Old Galileo,
that famous Italian astronomer lived from fifteensixty four to sixteen forty two.
For those days he had a longlife. He could see the idea of
isocronius pendulum the chronius pendulum, andhe invented the sector compass and made the

(46:46):
first practical use of the telescope.He discovered the four bright satellites of Jupiter,
discovered the famous law of falling bodies, and was the first mathematician at
the University of Pizza. Galileo wenton to say, I am inclined to
think that the authority of Holy Scriptureis intended to convince men of those truths

(47:07):
which are necessary for their salvation,which, being far above man's understanding,
cannot be made credible by any learningor any other means than revelation by the
Holy Spirit. Folks, I wouldsay he had his head screwed on the
right way to his soul and hisspirit. Here is a great scientist who

(47:27):
nevertheless put the word of God first. I'm quoting him and I'm using him
because he did have a great influenceover the entire West, including America.
Yes, he had great influence overthe founding fathers of America and especially our
scientists like Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington. Let of people don't
know he was a scientist. Hewas a very accomplished botanist, and they

(47:50):
all looked to science because they believethat science told them all the more about
God. The Bible says that sciencewould be the language, or would be
the instrument to see God see himselfin his creation. So creation is very
important. The study of it isvery important. It helps us understand God
all the more. That's what scienceis. It's a study of the natural

(48:14):
world. Creation. So folks,men like him, and along with so
many other scientists of the past andeven today now continue to reinforce and point
to us that there really is aGod, that the Bible really is scientifically
reliable and accurate, and that webetter pay attention. What about you?

(48:34):
Are you paying attention? Are youpaying attention to what Galileo said about the
Holy scriptures were the only way tosalvation? To know Jesus, Well,
give me a minute or two andI'll show you how you can know that.
You know, you know Jesus,you know God. You're safe from
Hell and you're guaranteed Heaven. Youknow, the Bible says for God so
love the world. That's you,and that's everybody. That he gave his

(48:55):
only begotten son. That's the Lord, Jesus Christ, perfect God, perfect
man, all the way God andall the way Man. That God so
loved the world. That's a biglove, folks. He gave his only
begotten some that whosoever that's you again, that's anybody, that's everybody, whosoever
believeth in him. What do youbelieve in? Folks? Say, believe

(49:16):
in somebody, that's fine, butyou got to kind of know about him.
What do you believe in it.You believe in him and what he
did. You believe in that he'sGod. You believe in that he's God
the Son. You believe in thathe's a Messiah. You believe in that
He really did die for all ofyour sins, was buried and rose in
the dead. The Bible says,he that knew no sin. That's Jesus

(49:36):
was maids and all of your dirty, rotten sins, that you might be
made the righteousness of God and him. Folks, he gives you all his
good after he takes all of yourbad. That you just can't beat that,
folks. When he died on thecross, the Bible says, his
blood washed away all of your sins. I'm talking about from the day you're

(49:57):
born to the day you die,your tiniest, her gradest. And then
he rose from the dead. Yousee, he got half the job done
when he died on the cross.The rest of the job was to bring
you life, because you see,you still have death. He had to
overcome death for you, and hedid when he rose from the dead to
win for you his precious free giftof resurrection, everlasting life. And that's
where Jesus beat death to offer youlife, everlasting life. Folks. The

(50:22):
Bible says that all you have todo to get this is believe. Now
it's a two full belief. Yourfirst part is to believe that you can't
save yourself. You're hopeless and helpus without God destined to a burning hell.
Hell's a terrible place. You don'twant to even think about it.
Folks. God didn't want you togo there. He made heaven for you.
He made hell for devils, forsin, and for death. But

(50:45):
the scripture says a very sad thing. It says hell is being made bigger,
it's being enlarged because people who rejectthe only hope they have the love
of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. They reject that only hope, then
the only thing that's left for themis or God is not. It's called
hell. Please, folks, don'tmake that mistake. Believe you can't save

(51:05):
yourself. And when you do,that's called repentance. You just repent it.
It's not an action. It's notyour righteousness. It's not giving money,
it's not doing some kind of prayers, it's not turning from sin.
It's not all these things we comeup with. And the Bible says nothing
about. It says to repent theroid. Repent means change your mind.
And when you study the scripture onthis, you find it with God's saying
this. Remember, you can't saveyourself. All of your righteousness ours filthy

(51:30):
rex. That's why I had tocome down and do it for you.
So let him do it for you. Get out of the way and let
God have his way. Folks,believe that He really did die for all
your sins, was buried and roastingthe dead, And that's the next step
of your faith. When you dothat, you become God's child. You're
born again. That means you're deadand dying spirit has become fully alive.

(51:50):
Folks, you need this right now. The scripture says now today is a
day of salvation. If you've neverdone this before, please believe right now
with all your heart. That meansyou're not trusting anything else only in Jesus.
Believe right now that He did diefor all your sins. Was Baron
Broseman dead. Well, it isnow time for us to go into our
Chaplin blah blah, watchman on thewall. We'll just take a short time
to remind you of the biblical foundationsof our soon coming Lord Jesus Christ,

(52:15):
that we see in the newspapers today. I mean all the prophecies, over
two hundred of them. They've allbeen completed, are there in the process
of being completed. Just a fewof them left. Folks. When he
said, when she said, wecan see all these things happen, I'm
even at the door. One ofthe things he pointed to was climate change,
extreme actions of climate, great heat, great terrible things, and hurricanes

(52:40):
and storms and all that coming asa sign of the end. Folks were
in it right now, please,and you can't change that. The only
way to change that is to bringgreat revivals of the whole world where the
whole world turns to God. Andthen God won't have to turn us over
to the devil because we're demanding thathe give us the devil. Eventually,

(53:00):
he's gonna do that. And buddy, folks, as I said earlier in
the show, it's gonna be horrible. Don't go there. Don't don't let
that happen. Folks, right now, I believe with all your heart for
your safest place to go, yoursafest bunker. Believe the Lord Jesus Christ,
believed with all your heart that hereally did die for all your sins,
was buried and rose from the dead. Well, it's not time for
us to close with him on SaintMartin singing a queol goodbye and God bless

(53:24):
all out there, the calling quelgoodbye. Please think we just tweette our
time beeted. All the three sibylse love me. There's time for a

(53:52):
dree o goodbye.
