(00:07):
Battles, the politicians, the dressed, the digitators and magicians. Who's to
see the money? Then you don't, there's nothing to fill the holes?
Well, then are feeling their packetsbid holes. The politicians bouncing down the
road every batsition with no moment.Corruption and its function, it's gone to

(00:33):
take divide it evention. What's goingon with the speakers race in Congress?
Jim Jordan is trying for a thirdtime, but WI don't it make any
difference when we've got a perspective ofpeople fighting for the sake of fighting.
What are they trying to achieve?The background of magma in the speaker race
and also the post election primary herein Louisiana, was it a fact that

(00:55):
low African American turnout not only gotJeff Landry into the Governor's office in the
primary as opposed to runoff, butmaybe cost the chance for an all African
American Secretary of State, that itsimpact on three other state rep races and
more on this edition of The FounderShow and God bless all out there.
You are now listening to the FoundersShow, the voice of the Founding Fathers.

(01:17):
You're Founding Fathers coming to you deepwithin the bowels of those mystic and
cryptic alligator swamps of the Big Easy, that old Crescent City, New Orleans,
Louisiana, and high up on topof that old Liberty Cypress tree draped
in Spanish moss, way out onthe Eagles Branch. This is none other

(01:38):
than your s Bengary Baba of theRepublic Chaplain Hi mcenry with Christopher Tidmore,
your roving reporter, resident radical moderateand associate editor of the Louisiana Weekly newspaper
at Louisiana Weekly dot net, andI want to get into a couple of
interesting perspectives on what happened in theprimary, in the election and basically to

(01:59):
explain what happened is African Americans showedup at about half the amount they were
and the worst show ups was inthe metropolitan New Orleans Parish game. It
was there's always a big game,this is Louisiana, come up, very
disappointing game. Yeah, it reallyis God them money anyway, But I
do want to kind of do somethinga little bit more fiery. And because

(02:20):
I got a theory, so wehad before the elections. Of course,
we talked to Brian Trasher, whohad been whipping votes for Steve Scalise,
and you and I pose the question, what do you have to do to
make any of these people, youknow, the holdouts, if you will,
I think you're pure enough and uh. And of course the answer for
Scalise was nothing, because we aswe knew by the end of the as

(02:44):
we knew as we were taping theshow. Basically Steve Scalise was withdrew from
the race. So then we getJim Jordan, the purest of the Freedom
Caucus, the literal founder of theFreedom Caucus. And the problem we have
with Jim Jordan is he did nothe basically, we find out now helps
sabae t Scalice's vote. That's alot of the reports are even though on
the surface he came out and saidI'd come in. He told a lot

(03:06):
of his closest supporters do not necessarily, you don't have to vote for Scalice.
And so what happened. This isthe middle of the party, which,
by the way, ten years agowould have been considered the far right.
These are some of the quote moderateswere tea Party elected congressmen. They
haven't gone to the left. Theparty has just sort of gone in a
different direction. And so they basically, we don't want to accept Jim Jordan

(03:30):
because he didn't follow the rules ofour caucus. So as we go to
as we go on with the planwas, well, what about the speak
the Speaker pro tem Patrick McHenry,McK henry not McK henry, right,
So let's just make it, makeit very clear. He's not a cousin
of highs Chris to say this.And this is a guy who has got

(03:50):
respect on both sides of the aisle. He's got a Doctrinair conservative voting record.
There's nothing in his voting record thatyou would find objective, objectiboom.
And this wasn't a permanent was thisEven Jim Jordan endorsed this, but some
of the holdouts were like, absolutelynot, we will not do this whatsoever.
And essentially the House of Representatives isfrozen. And I started trying to

(04:10):
figure out what the objectives were aboutthe party, and somebody made an interesting
perspective. He said, you know, it's no longer a Republican party.
It's like a European coalition government.But I keep that usually implies that their
differences between partisan groups, and Ican't really find out a difference except for
this perspective. You once told methe reason why people like Donald Trump is

(04:35):
they like somebody who fights. That'show you kind of explained it. We
Republican. Well, but here's thequestion is to the left of me,
to the right of me. ButI'm willing to let me ask this question.
So the right of the party objectedto the fact that Kevin McCarthy wrote
a bill that cut discretionary spending bynine percent, would complete do everything everybody

(05:00):
wanted to do, including built fundthe wall. Now I'm going to go
through this. I'm gonna follow mehere. And there was nothing in the
legislation except they said it was wewe should shut down the government. That
was what Marjorie tail. We shouldjust shut it down to do what well,
so we get everything we want?How and there was never an answer.

(05:20):
So then Jim Jordan comes along,and he doesn't have a bad idea.
One of his ideas is to doa continuing resolution till April, which
is not which is essentially what McCarthyended up doing when the Conservatives wouldn't.
This is the leader of the Conservatives, and his perspective was, Okay,
we'll do it till April, andthen the previously agreed plan that was Kevin

(05:44):
McCarthy's, by the way, withthe White House, that there would be
a one percent across the board cuteither comes into force or we have a
better negotiating position, which some ofhis own conservatives says wasn't going far enough
right. And so I kept lookingfor something. I talked to a few
people in DC. I kept lookingfor something to explain what they're seeking,
what policy position they're speaking, they'reseeking what Mark Getz and Marjorie Taylor basically

(06:11):
what this group wants. And thesearen't not This is not the full Freedom
Caucus. Just saying the Freedom Caucusis is not fair because there's a lot
of Freedom Caucus members that are veryhave a lot of perspectives in this.
They supported they supported McCarthy, Scaliseand Jordan right, and they're trying to
get something done that there's a difference. So I'm not branding this as a
Freedom Caucus and this is a verysmall group of people within the Freedom Yeah.

(06:32):
But I keep asking what they want, and finally answer I got was
this, they don't want anything.And I was like, wait, what
they said, Look understand their constituencythey're speaking to just wants to see everything
blown up. I was like,wait, wait, wait, wait to

(06:53):
to what end? What's the goal? What's the goal? They just as
disaster, you know the Democrats?This yeah, yeah, this, I
love it. You bet walking rightinto a democratic trapic. Look, the
first rule, literally, the firstrule of Morton Blackwell's fifty Rules of politics
is never get in the way ofyour opponent. When then the process of
destroying themselves it is, it isa sacred rule of politics, because why

(07:14):
do it? Why say a wordhacking? Jeffers just has to stay there
and say, well whatever and justwait. And the reason why all of
this is happening is because there's asmall group of Republicans who've realized that it
plays really well in Newsmax in oneAmerican News what they're doing. And every
time they do it, they raisehundreds upon hundreds of thousands of dollars.

(07:38):
Matt Getz voted against McCarthy. Heraised one point eight million dollars in twenty
four hours. There's a constituency ofpeople in the party who are like,
fighting is what we need to do. But you start asking a question.
For a second, for what.That's when we're getting go. I mean,
and you, Christopher, we've beenover this before. I mean,
it's common sense. You don't geteverything you want, ever, so what

(08:00):
you do is you get the mostthe best that you can. That's what
made Donald Trump is such a exceptbrilliant and business party. He knew how
to negotiate and and get the bestthat he could, which was usually enough
or even a lot. And so, uh, well, I'm glad,
I'm glad you've been let me finish. They won't, you know, they're
like law, you know what livingAnd I looking at this my wife and

(08:20):
she's a super Trump supporter, andshe's furious at mett Getz and the and
this small cabal of lunatics or yeah, and and and and you know there
are many strong conservative very powerful strongconservative commentary. They're furious about what Gates
has done. Uh it's like andit almost Christopher, you know my background.

(08:43):
He is on me, specially forsays military intelligence, top sever clearance,
all that good stuff. Kin kindof intelligence agent, condon servancy advisor.
Uh. What it tells me isnow I'm not on the inside.
I can't prove this, but I'mbeginning to one off Gates is not a
jaanct provocatory has been bought and paidfor by the other side. Well,
he pranced around his mister big conservative. He is creating nightmares for the strong

(09:07):
conservative constitution, conservative right. He'sdestroying our work and here pretends he's saving
us. All it sounds like aliberal the liberals going to destroy everything.
Well, they've screened their saving us. And I agree with everything you said,
but I'm gonna take it a stepfurther. You may not agree with.
And it's simply this. So oneof the things that came up that
disturbed me through this whole process.You remember, Trump came out publicly and

(09:28):
said he didn't like Scalice because hesaid Scalie has a blood disease, and
anybody knows what Scalice has gone throughis full of the mission. He's fine,
it was totally redis right. Thenhe told apparently when Jordan was going
up, he said, Jim Jordan, that leader of the Conservatives, was
actually not because he didn't want toshut down the government. He actually wanted
a continuing resolution. They that hewas not worthy of support. And then

(09:52):
he goes in and he tells acouple of his holdouts. He says,
maybe what she should do is nothingand let this all clay out. And
what I'm asking you is, thisis, by the way, not side
effects. This is what Marjorie TaylorGreen, who is probably Trump's closest supporter
in the Congress, I think it'sa fair to say publicly admitted that Trump

(10:13):
was telling her to do this stuff. And what I get at is that
these guys are not operating in avacuum. Everybody in the Republican Party is
terrified of Donald Trump, not everybodythat's so wrong. Well no, no,
please, no, I give you, I give you the rhinos.
What's the party. They're not justterrified. They hate his guts, We
got that, okay, But Iwould give trators. They're not reale constitutions.

(10:37):
Okay. Well, I mean I'llgive you an example, their name
only they pretend to get elected,but they're not really Like that's not with
all the Speeta Senator that that's notthat's not asiity, total fraud. But
let me be very blunt. Firstof all, I don't think that about
Bill Cassie if you look at hisbody record. But if you know him,
we know him, well, yeah, if you look at what's happening.
Certainly, Steve's Scalise was not thatby any wretch the imagination. No,

(11:01):
No, I mean Steve Scale,there's not that would have been fantastic
to me. And it was soimportant forget that he's from And I'm not
saying that because oh we want tobrag we have a you know, Speaker
of the House. No, theguy is just a good guy, and
he's a strong conservative, and heknows he knows how to work with all.
You see, folks, you gotto learn to work with people.
You're not the one on one manshow. You're not the king in Congress.

(11:22):
You're one of and that have hundredpeople whatever and so, and you
know, we've got to learn howto build relationships, compromise, and that
some of the greatest compromise people inCongress go down in history of some of
our greatest leaders because they knew howto come like Henry Clay, like Jefferson
Davis. Let me, let me, let me, let me get to
this for a second. Because Scalisehad defenders on the other side. I

(11:46):
mean, if you read Troy Carter, for example, came out and said
that he is you know, he'snot a racist. He's not. He's
not that he came to Great Scles'sdefense and saying there's not a racist bone
in his body, when when hewas being attack by Republicans on you know,
the Duke, the so called Dukewithout the baggage, which is not
even true. He had some ofthe people on the right, like Nancy

(12:07):
Mace, attacking that. But youknow who is also saying this kind of
stuff Trump, So I get soI'm asking, I'm getting it a bigger
thing Trump right now, this problemin Congress is the fact that Trump has
five different cases going on, andyou know, it's the one thing to
keep the cases off the cable news, having a chaos in the House of

(12:31):
Representatives. So what I think what'sgoing on is Trump is deep sixing the
Republican Party to save himself. Now, I firmly believe that that doesn't make
no. The only thing Trump,the only thing Trump cares about is his
wealth. Christopher, So that isso disingenuous and so fake. The man

(12:52):
is lost one hundreds of millions ofdollars doing what he's doing. Don't tell
me that with all respects. Ifyou look at what happened with Jared Kushner,
the refinancing of the building in NewYork, and others. The Trump
family actually made a lot of moneyon that. I mean they made almost
two billion, oh god. Inthe last six months of the last administration,
got a refinancing deal from the Saudigovernment that no one would have touched

(13:13):
that Getter building right before a realestate crash come on. It was it
was otherwise it was the balloom paymentwould have wiped out the Krishner family.
And that's one of about six dealsTrump got in. And the point of
all of this is, if there'sanybody that uses government to fill his wallet,
it's the current president right now.Biden, oh to the extreme.

(13:33):
If you want me, do youwant me to argue with you? No,
I agree, I think I thinkthere's a crookedness. But here's the
here's the point. I'm not defendingBiden. I've reached the point. I've
reached the absolute point where you know, there's plenty of ways to defend him,
but I've reached the absolute point.Yeah, there's plenty, there's always
a way to defend and there's alwaysa way to us. Now, the

(13:54):
point I'm getting at is saying,well, Biden does it too. Frankly,
both of these guys. There isthe reason why seventy two percent of
the American public doesn't want either oneof them on the top of the ticket.
Either. They don't want Trump,they don't want Biden. It's a
very small group. And I'm goingto tell you very bluntly, from what
has been now, this is nothypothetical. It's been said, shown,

(14:16):
Trump said this stuff. The reasonwe don't have a speaker, the reason
Steve Scalice is not a speaker.Hell, the reason Jim Jordan wasn't the
speaker of all people was Donald Trump. And the fact of the matter is
this is no matter how you lookat it. Ending modern voters are like,
why the hell should we have Republicansin office and they can't even agree
on a speaker? Why, Imean, they can't even have any government

(14:37):
except Democrats have never and I'm notdefending speaker no, but this, no,
I'm sorry, In anything resembling livingmemory in the last century, there
has never been a situation with Democratswhere they're unable to elect speaker, even
when they had a five seat majority, which is what Pelosi had. The
same is what Republicans have and forbetter or worse. The American people look

(15:03):
at this and they say, theseare not adults. Christopher, I agree
with you for both sides, becausethey both pulled the same kind of sannigans.
The Democrats, they openly say theylove disaster, they want disaster,
never let a catastrophe, a disastergo unused. And if they don't have
them, they know how to createthem, like what happened here doing in

(15:24):
New Orleans, the Katrina. Therewas a disaster that could have easily been
fixed, but instead the Democrats turnedit into something well, far worse than
I would also put if you wantto go blame that goes around. It
was also Donald Rumsfeld didn't obey GeorgeW. Bush's orders to redeploy military forces
here because they already had a scheduleof sending them to a rack in Afghanistan.
And that was actually that's why wedidn't get wed. We didn't get

(15:45):
seventeen thousand National Guard troops. Wedidn't need the federal troops. We had
them here already. She pulled themall out except for us a handful of
them. Ultimately, I don't wantto relitigate she did. I don't want
to relinegate. N I'm going totell you as a republic she got a
disaster as a Republican, and theystole the money and they won the midterms,
and by the way, she lostoverwhelmingly and into the Democrats. By

(16:07):
the time that came up her election, the people of New Orleans had finally
realized what she had done to us. And there's no way. Look,
let's let's get back to the speakeristioning all over the ice. But I'm
just trying to tell you this problemof our political leaders acting on it's not
spoiled rotten children, you know,the schoolroom antics, I mean schoolyard antics,

(16:30):
is a problem for both. Exceptwhen you come down to it,
you can't think of a situation wherethe Democrats didn't elect a speaker. This
is a very specific They have theirown stories, look wouldn't tell of except
you. My point being in allof this is Republicans if they don't get
a speaker elected by next week andstart moving some legislation, critical legislation like

(16:55):
helping the Israelis get more missiles todefend themselves kind of legislation. I mean
to give you an idea. Letme, let me play where you've got
You've got a very good point.The flip side, Yeah, the flip
side of all of this is theDemocratic Party is ripping itself apart over the
Palestinian Israeli issue. This should bea point where Republicans are unified and watching
the Democrats try to whip themselves intoa frenzy and part of the party defending

(17:19):
the Palestinians. Right, I'm thePalestinian people are. It's a tragic story
of what's happened to Yeah, Ican tell you right now Hamas, which
by the way, means Islamic militancy. It's an acronym. You know that,
But the public doesn't know that,right, And the fact of what
they did, the fact of thehospital situation where islami Shahad is the fact
that hospital and then try to blameit on the jew You've got the left

(17:41):
of the Democratic Party, You've gotAOC You've got to leave basically saying going
to rallies that say and I'm notmaking this Jews, I know gas the
Jews and Palestine will be free fromthe river to the sea, which means
there's no Israel, which means andto do that the scenario that it's a
Holocaust said for whatever eighty years now. Yeah, to get to go from
the river to the state means yougot to kill every Jew exactly, have

(18:03):
to become It's when you push themall on the in the Mediterranean, they
all drown. And so the pointI'm getting at is the Republicans are going
through this insane unexplainable because there's noissues dividing this that I can think of
dance over the speakership at a timewhen they could be holding the speaker,
holding hearings and essentially ripping the DemocraticParty apart. And the Democrats are coming

(18:26):
out of this and the reason they'renot doing anything is because why would you.
It's just like Trump wants this.And this is where I'm getting that
Trump wants this disaster to distract fromhis problems. The Democrats want the disaster
to directed their problems. But that'snot the fault of either side. For
every time, fact, it's thefact that the Republican Party of the House
will not get its acts. Everytime. I don't know that you're right

(18:48):
there every time you I know you'rereal smart with politics. But every time
Trump has had a problem with allthese bogus lost, you know, criminal
charges over ninety of nothing and subsordthat. Every time that's hit the news
and been a big thing, it'sworked to his advantage. Why would he
want to lose that advantage and distractthe public away so his polls can even
go up high charge. You knowwhat's happened that's different in the last two

(19:14):
weeks, and he got out ofit one on Thursday. But you know
what's basically happened that's different. Thegag orders. Yeah, well, I
know the gag order again, that'snot going to be a that's not going
to stop, except it has becausethe gag order in one of the cases
has to do with the sentencing abouthis New York business licenses, and he
is scared to death of losing it. All right, So when can come
back, by the way, andyou know, the gag artists, he

(19:36):
cannot speak against his opponents. Butthis didn't politically motivate Oh no, not
at all. At this point,folks, we're going to go speaking of
somebody who is definitely not Trump's opponent. That's Jeff Landry. He won.
But the thing about this race inLandry's election, which was incredibly impressive,
and it shows that Lewis Gervich's loveJeff Landry hate it. From a political

(19:57):
standpoint, Lewis Gervitch's st his gamblethat Jeff Landry could be endorsed a year
and a half out basically ignore thefield and run the table. It worked.
There's no other way of saying that, let's not forget my twin sessions
advice to that young man when hewas just a ten twelve year old kid.
You may have heard that story,folks, Well tell it again.
Come back. It's going to comeback, come back. But we're going

(20:18):
to ask about what really happened.And the answer of the election is there
was a surgeon Republican votes, butthere was a collapse in African American votes.
Is this a one time effect oris this a hearkening of what could
happen. I'll show you how itaffected several races, including an all democratic
race uptown, and it's several otherthings. When we come back from these
important messages, stay tuned him Henryand Christopher Tidmore and the founder show here

Of course, we got to spenda couple of times look at the
implications of the race. And you'veheard a lot of different things about Jeff
Landry's victory, and the Republicans didsome things that were very, very successful.

(24:33):
We'll get to that in a second. About turnout, it turns out
having multiple Republican candidates actually helped Republicansdown the ticket. But I want to
talk about Democrats for a second andwhy the top of the ticket matters.
Let me offer a couple of numbersfor you. High In twenty nineteen,
Democratic turnout in Orleans Parish in theprimary was eighty seven thousand, seven hundred

(24:56):
and thirty four. In Orleans Parish, you know what it was? Goo
what fifty two thousand, four hundredand eighty four, Oh, my goodnes.
In East Baton Rouge Parish it waseighty five thousand, two hundred and
eighty six. Last week is fortyfive thousand, seventy eight. Oh boy.
Democrats went down forty percent in NewOrleans, forty seven percent in Baton

(25:18):
Rouge in one cycle, he said, Republicans went down in East Baton Rouge
two by six hundred and eighty eightvotes from fifty thousand to forty nine thousand,
seven hundred. Yeah. Yeah,it's like in other words, essentially
they were the same. And infact, Republicans went up in Orleans Parish,
and we'll talk about that in justa second. But what I found
was interesting was when I started lookingat the effects the top of the ticket

(25:38):
and the fact that frankly it wasAfrican American turnout was non existent, had
on the kind of down ticket races. And let me give you the most
stunning example, the race that alot of people weren't talking about but we
were was the Secretary of States race, because we said we didn't know what
was going to happen. You hadso many evenly matched candidates. You had
two Democrats, Gwen Collins Green upand run before and you had former clerker

(26:02):
Court Author Morele his son is CourtJP Morrell, the president of the New
Orleans City Council. But you alsohad Mike Francis, who had here on
the air, the former chairman ofthe Republican Party, a member of the
Public Service Commission. You had theBrandon Trux player who is really being in
the magis, but more importantly aClay Sheck Snyder, the former Speaker of
the House right. And what's interestingabout that race is everybody, with the

(26:26):
exception of like Amanda Jennings who wasa minor and Thomas Kennedy, everybody was
for the most part in the teens. In fact, it was less than
one percent of the voter, maybethree or four thousand votes that separated different
people. We almost ended up witha runoff instead of Nancy Landry being the
leader of the ticket. We almostended up with Mike Francis and Nancy Landry's
an all Republican runoff. But what'salso interesting is we almost ended up with

(26:51):
an all Democratic runoff. And thisis the part that I want everybody to
understand. So Author Morele did GwenCollins green Up was the first credit the
list by virtue of the gods ofthe alpha numeric order. In other words,
ce comes before m Yah, sothe first Democrat. They saw Democrats
as press d. She ended upwith nineteen percent of the vote and ended

(27:11):
up in the runoff about a thousandvotes behind Nancy Landry. However, Author
Morrel ended up at eleven percent withone hundred and thirteen thousy seven hundred and
three votes, and he was saying, well, Okay, that's nice,
So why do we care? Becausewhat's interesting is if you look at his
percentage of the vote in the inthe metro parishes where he's known, like

(27:32):
in Orleans, he ended up getting, you know, in Orleans forty percent
of the vote. He beat CollinsGreen up. But his turnout was so
anem it compared to what could havehappened that if you calculate the Democrats who
didn't vote this time and make anassumption of the same percentage breakdowns, author
Morele ends up in the runoff AfricanAmerican Democrats if they turn out. Let

(27:55):
me give you an idea of whatI'm when I'm talking about when I say
that, I'm going to show youa kind of real world example. And
I won't just show you Orleans inJefferson's third district. This is the black
council district in Jefferson Parish. Thisis where Byron Lee barely beat Derek Sheppard.
It was a rematch for the twoof them. This is an all

(28:15):
African American race. Turnout was twentyfour point seven percent, half of what
it was in twenty nineteen when thesame two candidates, Lee and Shephard faced
off against each other at forty threepercent. In other words, it literally
there were twenty one thousand fewer peoplethat voted in Jefferson Parish, a place

(28:37):
morel would have done because if younotice that district used to be represented by
who JP Morrell his son. Yeah, so as a member of the state
Senate. So my point is theturnout dynamics for Democrats were so bad that
I've come to the point that youcan't even convince African Americans that if you
have a black candidate the top ofthe ticket, that they're going to win
unless their first name is General,which somebody's gonna get mad at me for

(29:00):
saying. But it's it's that pejorativeattitude exists in the black community. It's
tragic because Shawn Wilson was a verybrilliant I mean, you may disagree with
him on some points, but nobodydisagreed about his intelligence and capabilities. Why
are you tell me they wouldn't votefor him? Well, I'm saying African
Americans didn't go to the poll becausethey thought it hopeless. It's hopeless.

(29:21):
So in other words, it wasn'tthat they wouldn't vote for Sean Wilson.
It was that, what's the pointbecause a black guy is not going to
get and because of that, ablack guy or woman did not guaranteed to
be Secretary of State. I'm goingto tell you what's going to happen without
a strong person at the top ofthe ticket. It's hard enough for a
Democrat to start with. Nancy Landryis going to be the next Secretary of
State. That's not pejorative to NancyLandry. It's a statement of the fact

(29:47):
that the problem is that we havepeople that invariably they vote skin color,
like as I've said before on theshow of You from New Orleans, and
you're white, forget about ever winninganything in this city unless you are so
embedded with the black community, likethe land Drews, who basically created the
black political power groups in this city, who also and I know you don't

(30:11):
agree, but there is solid evidencethat their grandmother is a black person,
so they get a pass. Butthe average white guy is never going to
win anything in this paris except it'snot going to happen because they'll always vote
skin color. Always point. Bothsides do it, and both are wrong,
and I agree with I agree withthat I think African Americans, I
think they're actually more willing to votefor a white Democrat than they are willing

(30:36):
Democrats. I mean, I mean, come on, you can't say it's
just skinned cult is a white Democrat, they're going to vote for them,
but they turn out to vote.I'm also going to point out that Helena
Moreno has been elected citywide a lotof judges, So a white person can
easily be elected in New Orleans citywide if they're white. But I'm going
to point out that very rarely,very In fact, I can't think of
any examples of a black Republican inLouisiana that's been elected by a white majority

(31:00):
population, with the exception actually,I can't think of one in the last
forty years. My point being thatfor either party, and look, the
National Democrats were just as responsible.There is a race going on in nearby
Mississippi in our listening area. TateReeves, the incumbent governor, is being
taken on by a guy by thename of Presley. He's Elvis's second cousin.
Oh really, all right, Itis a very hot race, except

(31:22):
Tate Reeves is gonna win. Okay, he's the overwhelming favorite. He's gonna
win this race even though it's BrandonPresley is actually a really good candidate.
But Democratic money is flowing into thatstate even though the odds are against bren
Presley for what reason, Well,let me think he's white. And there's
a lot of points that when thetop the national party doesn't take something seriously,

(31:45):
why should the rank and file ofthe party take something seriously. Now,
I will also do the counter ofthat. Jeff Landry, I'm convinced
at this race could have won ifhe spent not one dollar in running this
race and the Democrats spent what theyspent, and he probably still would have
won. He might have gone toa runoff instead of winning in the first,

(32:06):
but he probably would have won.But what happened was the Republican Party
seeing a shore winner. They kindof wasted money, but they they to
their credit, they supported their candidate, which is what you're supposed to do.
So it was really kind of funnythe day after the primary, because
you know it's national money, whenon the Sunday morning after the primary,
they're still running ads attacking the Democraticcandidate because they're running on WRNO And I'm

(32:30):
like, folks, Okay, comeon, you don't not paying any attention
to the fact that the race isover, but because they were like,
oh, no, elections are inTuesday, right, No, not Louisiana.
And that's the point. And I'mwhere the real world success was shown
in that is you remember I toldyou this turnout dynamics about how democrats in

(32:52):
particularly African Americans were down, Christopher, You remember they had already paid for
the ads. So yeah, no, where if you withdraw the ads,
then you just start throwing your moneyaway completely. Well, but where's the
ads? May Yeah, like apep rally ad. I hate, Yeah,
but this is a bad, amad beating, bad media buyer.

(33:13):
Because I can't speak for every mediasource. But let's see, I've been
I've been on three television stations,and I've been on seven radio stations,
and I've been with wrn O insome capacity or another for what sixteen years?
Right, Okay? And so itgoes on behind the scenes time me.
So it's a big time when itcomes to broadcasting and what really goes
on behind the scenes in the studios, in the headquarters, in the offices

(33:36):
and admin part everything. Well,my point being, you can call you
could make a buy in wrn O, just like you can make a buy
in WWL, or you can makea buy on WDSU television or Fox eight
or whatever, and say, oh, the I ad buys end at eight
o'clock on Saturday X, in thiscase Saturday, October thirteenth, and we

(33:57):
don't want to pay for anything afterthat, right, So they didn't do
that. They just paid. Nowmaybe they assumed. And I try to
give him the get of the doubtbecause one of the things that the Democrats
made, the same mental mistake thatrepublic that Democrats made in two thousand and
four, which is that there's goingto be a runoff, so we'll just
kevin it. I mean, SeanWilson's people were talking to me the day

(34:21):
before saying it's gonna be closed,but there's gonna be a runoff, and
you're gonna see some Republicans come andsupport Sean Wilson, which actually he ain't.
John Bell Edwards, John Bell Edwardswhen he came out with forty three
percent of the vote and led thefield, it was a very different person
the guy who got twenty six percentof the vote, you know, and
where all the Democrats put together inthat race got thirty percent. Now it's
different. But having said that,it was one of those mistakes that you

(34:45):
knew better than that, and itwas just it was not very smart.
But christ we've got a human intereststory here. Okay, but I gotta
buy an impact. No but that, and I want to I want to
clan close with that, because that'swhat I think it was. This this
is where we led back to JeffLandry. What did Jeff Landry do well?
Jeff Landry played, Yes, we'regonna save it. We're gonna save

(35:07):
it, Go ahead, go ahead. What did Jeff Landry do He managed
to get He managed to use theother Republicans in the field to help generate
Republican turnout, which ended up benefitinghim, but benefited more benefited down ticket,
like Liz Morel, who is hiscandidate for attorney general. It's very
clear this is the accomplishment of thisrace with we had six Republicans running.

(35:29):
Republican turnout from four years ago inOrlean's Parish went up by from ten thousand
votes to fifteen thousand, seven hundredand thirty four votes. And by the
way, it was corresponding in otherparishes as well, so what happened was
you not only had African Americans godown, Republican enthusiasm was way off the

(35:51):
of course, I think partially itwas because Landry was close to it,
and Landry supporters saw that there wasa chance to get over, but it
was also because you had wagons backand others who didn't do very well,
but they themselves helped drive turnout,which is why Republicans and I'll use two
examples or three examples of races,Matt Cormier, who's the incumbent on the
West Bank, Miss Leopold, whois you know, was jettison into a

(36:15):
runoff that she probably shouldn't have made. The best examples, however, are
District ninety one in Orleans, whichis an all Democratic district. You had
Madison O'Malley, you had Nancy Landry, and one of the things O'Malley was
counting on was disaffected African Americans.In fact, I think O'Malley probably made
a mistake emphasizing she was a Democratbecause she had Republican support. She was

(36:38):
always reminding people she was a Democratthat this is not the good cycle to
do that you didn't want to dothat in the cycle, you just wanted
to say Madison, O'Malley period andof discussion. Yeah, if anybody asked,
I'm a Democrat, that's it.She's run against Nancy Landry. Nancy
Landry is a very ardent pro choicereproductive rights advocate, so she has a
core of support in the Garden districtup town that's very strong. My mother

(37:01):
in law is a good example,was a very strong supporter of hers and
came out on that one and onthat issue, which is very predominant in
a limousine kind of liberal district.Having said that, the thing that was
they were running ads about was whatthat she voted against. An all African
indagey ninety one used to be thebiggest was a black majority district. It

(37:23):
was created for Diana Bajeois. Itwas, and Nancy and Mandy Landry actually
turned around and today the district's aboutfifty four percent white. Part of that
was not her doing. It wasthe fact that there are more a lot
more white people living in the IrishChannel, Central City, broad more than
they used to be and uptown.But part of that is the fact that

(37:45):
she dread. So they ran adsattacking or thinking that would motivate black voters.
Black voters went down and wanted todo The white voters who were disaffected
looked at that Republicans that were surgingand they said, well, she voted
against a black majority district, shemust be a good candidate. She arruably
benefited it. It was almost likethe attack ads were helping her campaign.

(38:06):
That's why she ended up with sixtysix percent of the vote in election that
most people thought would go that.But my best example of this you heard
the ad earlier from Mike Bayham.Mike Bayham ended up with forty seven percent
of the vote, and that wasn'tso surprising in the fact that he runs
first, he was the favorite inthat case. He's on his way potentially
to win that race. However,he ends up in the runoff with a

(38:27):
Republican, not a Democrat, ina district that arguably is barely fifty to
fifty Republican and Democrat with a largeAfrican American population. It is Saint Bernard
Parish. Saint Bernard Parish is nowtwenty five percent at least black, a
large Hispanic vote. It is nota particularly overtly conservative place in the traditional
sense of what it used to beat least in that otages and yet two
Republicans and why because Republican turnout.They read the cotails and it's going to

(38:52):
be an all Republican race, whichmakes it extra to a much tougher race
for Bayham in a runoff. Butit's you get forty seven percent under vote
the primary. You're pretty close todoing that in the three way race.
The problem, the interesting part ofthis is that Republicans did their job great.
They got to turn out. Solet's get to a bottom line right
here. Would you say that now, Louisiana it's been a very red state,

(39:15):
but would you say it's even morered than ever now? Well,
all things considered, all the differentrates around the state. Yes, the
whole thing. And I'll say it. I'll say it for this reason.
And it goes to what your sister, the story you're about to tell it
very quickly. It's the fact thata Kadiana used to be a swing district.
It was socially conservative, fiscally liberal. Now the reddest quote unquote the
most conservative part of the state isa Kadiana where you're and this is the

(39:39):
effect he talked. It used tobe we'd talk about a Republican. For
Metter You're more likely to be aRepublican in Leesville or Raytown or whatever than
you would are bro Bridge than youare even a Metteran. So that's what
it. And that gets to akid who was a young kid, you
know, growing up right Kadiana,wonderful, good kid. And to give
you all a little background, folks, I've been a hardcore conservative from birth,

(40:04):
Consitution server. And so he ismy sister, my twin sister,
and so anyway, she's a schoolteacher, loves it, teaches French and
Coda field program in southwest Louisiana.Lives in New Iberia, marriage to a
man named Brusard. Her name isMary Farest Brusard. And anyway, her
neighbor Cross Treat, very good friend, had their nephew that would come over

(40:27):
every now and then he played inthe yard, and then he come across
and play at mary Forest yard,and she got to know him. Of
course, being a teacher, shealways takes an interest in kids, and
she began to talk with him.I think he was about ten years old,
and he would listen to her.He was fascinated with the things she
was teaching him, and she wouldteach him about everything you know about.
She's a strong Christian of biblical thingsand political things, and of course French.
She was trying to get him tomake sure he learned French, being

(40:50):
a native Cajun fellow, just likemy mother was one hundred percent purebred Cage
and Gal. So in the processof doing all that and getting to know
him, one day she was veryinterested in some things he was saying,
and she said, you know something, young man, Jeff, you need
to know this. You are sucha bright kid. If you put your
mind to it and you apply,you could literally become the governor of Louisiana.

(41:14):
Guess what, folks, He isnow the Governor of Louisiana. And
Jeff Landry an amazing human interest story. I always knew your sister broke from
the pack when it came to predictions, the Henry packet. She's an incredible
lady, and her predictions tend tobe much more into kiss. It's in't
an interesting it is. Actually,if I wrote a biography of Jeff Landry,

(41:36):
I'd start with that story. Ohyeah, really, it really would
be great. Stay on that note, folks, we've got a lot more
coming up next week, We're goingto talk a little bit about what's happening
with New Orleans City Hall and isthere a chance to actually bring back Storyville
as part of its reconstruction special showand including the inhabitants. Not the inhabitants.
We're not gonna We're not gonna bringback it. You never know.

(41:57):
In today's we're all folks, younever know. Now, I'm talking about
saving some of the properties across thestreet. There's there's a they're beautiful.
If they could recreate those magnificent homes, that'd be really neat. Well,
we would talk about that on anext week's show. You're not going to
want to miss it. There's areal way to not only build a new
City Hall, but actually restore someof the historical footprint of New Orleans.
And actually our guide to that isQuebec City. Well that's the next week's

(42:19):
show. Wellack, folks with thespiritual and patriotic moments Right after this sty
tunered GUS Senator John Kennedy, Iam so proud, so proud to support
Mike Bayham from Louisiana State Representatives.I've known Mike for over twenty five years.
Mike Bayham is a fighter. Mike'sa lifelong resident of shall Met and

(42:43):
he will be a passionate fighter.He'll fight like a tiger for Saint Bernard
at the state Capitol. That's justthe kind of guy Mike is. Mike
Bayham will work to make insurance affordableand accessible. Mike Bayham will work to
defend the seafood industry. It's soimportant to our Saint Bernard Parish. And
Mike Bayham will work to get violentcrime under control. So please go out

Remember that name, Mike Bayham forLouisiana State Representative. You won't be sorry.
Thank you, God bless you,and God bless use. In rescue,
recovery, re engagement, these arenot just words. These are the

(43:27):
action steps we at the New OrleansMission take to make a positive impact on
the homeless problem facing the greater NewOrleans area. Did you know in twenty
twenty, homelessness in our community increasedby over forty percent. We are committed
to meet this need through the workbeing done at the New Orleans Mission.

(43:50):
We begin the rescue process by goingout into the community every day to bring
food, pray, and share thelove of Jesus with the hopeless and hurting
in our community. Through the processof recovery, these individuals have the opportunity
to take time out, assess theirlife, and begin to make new decisions
to live out their God given purpose. After the healing process has begun and

(44:15):
lives are back on track, wewalk each individual as they re engage back
into the community to be healthy,thriving, and living a life of purpose.
No one is meant to live undera bridge. No one should endure
abuse, no one should be stuckin addiction. The New Orleans Mission is

(44:36):
a stepping stone out of that lifeof destruction and into a life of hope
and purpose. Partner with us todaygo to www dot New Orleansmission dot org
or make a difference by texting toseven seven nine four eight back. And

(45:04):
this is Chappleanhei mc henry. Andit's not time for us to go into
our chaplain by patriotic moment. Wejust take a brief moment to remind you
of the biblical, biblical foundations ofour country, our Judeo Christian jurisprudence.
And today I'd like to remind youof a great compromiser, someone we need
the day in Congress, huh,folks, and we need in this whole
country to start getting people to worktogether. And that was none other than

(45:27):
President Madison. He was the fourthPresident of the United States. He was
Thomas Jefferson's protege, if you will. He signed a federal bill in eighteen
twelve which economically aided the Bible Societyof Philadelphia and its goal of the mass
distribution of the Bible. An Actfor the Relief of the Bible Society of

(45:49):
Philadelphia. It was approved by Congressin eighteen thirteen. This is during the
war too, and think of that, folks. More of eighteen twelve.
Congress also approved relief for the Baltimorein Massachusetts Bible Societies in eighteen sixteen.
And this is what Madison said.We have all been encouraged to feel in
the guardianship and guidance of that almightybeing whose power regulates the destiny of nations,

(46:13):
whose blessings have been so conspicuously dispensedto this rising republic. Madison,
when he was writing the Constitution,also said that the only thing that would
make the Constitution work for us forAmericans was the Ten Commandments, folks.
I certainly think President Madison, alongwith a long list of other great founding

(46:34):
fathers, really wanted to keep Godin government philosophically, not institutionally. They
made that very clear, and Iagree with that because that's exactly what the
Bible says. So, folks,but what about you? Where are you
and all of this your personal life? You know, government's important, and
it's very important, and like Socratessaid that if you don't engage in the

(46:57):
political world, you're destined to beruled by fools. We need to do
our duty and vote and study thesituation and try to find out what's really
best for this country and best infollowing the supreme law of the land,
the Constitution of Decoration of Independence.And so that's all very very important.
But let's say you did all that, Let's just say you became one of
the greatest biblical patriots that ever lived. But she was short on the spiritual

(47:20):
side, folks, because you see, you can have knowledge about God in
the Bible and still not be bornagain, as Jesus said, and that
just plain and simply means you becomespiritually alive. There are a lot of
dead preachers and churchgoers who are.They thump their bibles, they do everything.
They're very religious, but they reallydon't know God. And so I'm
here to show you how you canknow that you know that you know God,

(47:43):
and that you're absolutely certain that whenyou pass away, you'll be greeted
at the pearly gates with old SaintPeter holding the keys to the king.
And I'm saying, welcome in,guys, welcome in. Don't you want
that experience? Well, this ishow you can get it. It's really
simple, and it's designed for children. That means means everybody can get this.
Jesus said, unless you come asa little child, ye shall in

(48:04):
no wives enter in. You haveto realize a few things there first.
First of all, folks, youneed to realize that you were lost and
hopeless without God, that you weredestined to a burning hell, that your
life is filled with destructive sin,that you've been sinning since you were young,
and you're going to keep sinning tothe day you die. Even if
you're a very strong, devout bornagain Christian. We're all sinners and we're

(48:24):
destined to fight that battle to theday we die. But It's okay,
folks, because God loves you,and if you get his love ticket,
you're going to miss hell and gostraight to heaven. Don't you want that?
Folks, Well, this is howit works. God looked down on
us and realized there's no way wecould ever save ourselves. There was no
way for us to avoid his justice. See God's perfect love, perfect mercy.

(48:49):
He's also perfect justice. His justicehad to be satisfied. So how
could that happen without sending us allto hell. He came up with a
plan. He decided to become aman. That man's name is the Lord
Jesus Christ, also known as theSon of God. He came to this
earth to take care of that problemfor us, to take care of our
two love problems are sin problem andour death problem. When I say death

(49:12):
problem, I mean the second death, which means living like existing like a
zombie forever in hell where you haveexistence but no life. Folks. He
did that. Jesus did that whenhe died on the cross for all of
our sins, and of course,our sins mean anything you do, say
or think that's wrong. The scripturesays, if you know to do right
and do wrong, it is sin, folks. Sin everybody knows it's sin

(49:35):
is. If you know the GoldenRule, you know what sin is because
you know doing to others as youwould have them do unto you. Well,
if somebody has done you dirty,all of a sudden you know what
sin is, well, then reverseit. If you've done somebody else dirty,
you know what sin is. Sonone of us we're all without excuse.
So what you need to do isyou need to understand these two great,
precious gifts from God. When Jesusdied on the cross for our sins,

(49:58):
all of them. The day you'reborn today you die, from your
tiniest to your greatest, His bloodwashed him all away. When he did
that, he took care of yoursin problem. It's finished forever. The
judgment was given, and Jesus tookit for you. He took your wrap
for you. Then the next thingyou need to realize is that he rose
from the dead to win for youhis precious free gift of resurrection, ever

(50:22):
lasting life. The scripture says,for I declare to you the gospel that
Jesus died for all of our sins, according to scripture, was buried and
rose from the dead according to thescripture. It also goes on to say
that the Gospel is the power ofGod under salvation. So if you get
this trade and you really believe thiswith all your heart, and you got
to believe with all your heart,folks, not a trick here. You

(50:43):
just got to believe with all yourheart. Can't trust anything else. And
the day you come to the pointin your life where you realize you're hopeless
and helpless without God, you're destinedof burning hell, that you can do
nothing, absolutely nothing to save yourself. I want to know how religious you
are or rich are. That's that, whatever it might be, folks,
you're hopeless. When you to thatpoint in your life, you have just
repented. It is part of yourfaith. It is not an action.

(51:05):
It's not turning from sins, sayingspecial holy prayers or whatever you might come
up with. It's none of that. Giving to the charity, it's none
of that. It's believing you can'tsave yourself. That is true saving,
repentance and the split sucking you do. That your heart has just been prepared
to believe with all your heart thatonly Jesus can save you, that He
did it two thousand years ago whenhe died for all your sins was buried

(51:29):
in Rosea the dead. If you'venever believed that before, do it now.
The scripture says, now today isa day of salvation. Like the
old country preacher said, don't waittill it's too late. Well, folks,
something else is coming up that mightbe too late for us. And
I'm talking about the second coming ofour savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
He is coming back to this earth. Look at the signs around us,
folks. Look at what's going onin the Middle East right now. You

(51:51):
can see it. I don't eventell you about it. And it's a
fulfillment of all the biblical prophecy thathas been given over two hundred prophecies,
and a lot of is being fulfilled. We're seeing it happen unfold right before
our eyes, folks. This couldbe the Great Ezekiel thirty eight to thirty
nine war, that World War three. It will be the thing that begins
the final seven years of this earth, with Jesus returning at the end at

(52:14):
the Battle of Armagedin where he finallywipes out all the enemies of good.
That's coming, folks, and it'scoming soon. And if you're not ready
for it, you better get readyfor it, Jesus said, Flee to
the mountains, flee to the hills. Get a cave, folks. That's
getting a safe house. That's gettinga good bunker. Well, I'll tell
you what. The greatest safe houseyou can ever find. The greatest bunker

(52:35):
ever made is made by the HeavenlyManufacturing Company. And the name of the
bunker I'm thinking about is the LordJesus Christ. Go to him right now,
put all your faith in him.Believe with all your heart that he
really did die for all your sinsand roastrom dead, and you're going to
do just fine with these terrible thingsthat are now coming up on the horizon.
Believe right now, folks, withall your heart, that Jesus did

(52:57):
die for all your sins and roasamthe dead. Well, it's time for
us to go. Now we closewith the mont Saint Martin singing a creole
goodbye and God bless all out there. Does this have to be the end
of the nerd? You know?I love you. In the pamon land,

(53:20):
I can see across the million stars. When I look in, we
can pose it's the sun time.I suppose you couldn't call little Cray.

(53:43):
If we take just a little littlelonger to see our good night, be
calling Creel good
