Episode Transcript

(00:02):
Battles. The politicians, the press, the digitatas and magicians are trust to
see the money, then you don't, there's nothing to fill the holes?
Well, then are filling their pocketsthat holes. The politicians mountain down the
road every basis for no moment,corruption and dysfunctional. It's gone O take

(00:29):
divide off. Legislative special session oncrime coming up in just a couple of
weeks. As the polling data showsthat Donald Trump's going to win the nomination
for the Republicans Joe Biden for theDemocrats, but most of the voters that
are undecided don't want to go toeither man. Where are they going?
And more importantly, besides spoilers,what's happening with the elections that are going

(00:53):
to happen here in Louisiana special electionon the North Shore for DA and others
that are actually coming up the sameweekend is Super Tuesday, But a little
bit more coming up a little bitnearest January eighth, the Glorious eighth,
Yes, the Battle of New Orleansjust this weekend, the history of that
and how young people are adopting theGrandpa. Look all that and more on
this edition of The Founder Show andGod bless all out there you and now

(01:19):
listening the Founders show the voice ofthe Founding Fathers, your Founding Fathers coming
to you deep within the bowels ofthose mystic and cryptic alligator swamps of the
Big Easy, that old Crescent City, New Orleans, Louisiana, and high
up on top of that old Libertycypress tree draped and Spanish moss way out

(01:41):
on the Eagles Branch, it's noneother than your Spingary Bubbay all the republic
chaplain. Hi mc henry, whowith Christopher Tidmore, you roving reporter,
resident radical moderate and associate editor ofthe Louisiana Weekly newspaper at Louisiana Weekly dot
net. And I we got alot to talk about in today's show,
but I figured, you know,we do have a legislative session coming even

(02:01):
the Edwardian look, Christopher, that'scoming up, believe it or not.
Later in the show, we're goingto talk about the latest countercultural trend amongst
young people. And people are like, we don't listen to mckenry and Ted
Moore to hear about this. You'regonna love this, folks. The rebel
look right now is to wear bowties, waistcoats and dress up in suits.

(02:22):
You heard me right, Just waiton that. Then we get that
to it later in the show.So business casual, let's puss. Now
this is going to the other casual, extreme formal. But before we get
into that, speaking of an infiniteformality, of course, John Bell Edwards's
last day is January ninth. Aswe air our last program, Jeff Landry

(02:42):
will be assuming office as governor,taking the oath of office and coming in
and immediately Senate President Cameron Henry hascalled legislative session at the new Governor's Behest
for January fifteenth to deal with twoissues. One is redistricting. We'll mention
that in a second. We've talkedabout it extensively on this program. But
the other one is crime. Andthe question is what can the state do
about crime? And we mentioned lastweek that something rather revolutionary had happened in

(03:07):
resolution here in the Crescent City.The fact of the matter is that not
only will we see the state policereturn to the French Quarter, I'm now
hearing maybe a larger footprint than that, not just the interstate taking over patrol
of the interstates, but perhaps otherhistorical are no not yet. But that's
not off the table actually. Butthe other thing is, as we've discussed

(03:29):
our top ten stories last week,that the District Attorney of New Orleans,
Jason Williams, who's seen as thisfar left progressive, basically came in and
said that he would allow any arrestmade by the state police to be prosecuted
by the Attorney General's office. Well, one of the things that I'm hearing
about this coming legislative session crime isthere's going to be a major effort by

(03:51):
Jeff Landry to a expand the statepolice, b provide more resources and try
to make concentrations in New Orleans andStreet which have been tops of the murder
list, but essentially see a moreactive state presence in parish policing. Now,
remember, as we've often pointed out, folks, the reason why you
don't see the Attorney General's Office domore or the state do more is our

(04:15):
state constitution pretty much gives primary jurisdiction, in fact, almost exclusively to district
attorneys and local police officers. Sothe fact is that you can't prosecute from
the state if the DA doesn't inviteyou. In the New Orleans Police Department
is so understaffed that this is notonly being accepted something that was unthinkable ten

(04:35):
fifteen years ago, but the actualnew chief Chief Fitzpatrick, is welcoming this
because she's understaffed to the tune ofeight hundred police officers. One of the
dirty secrets about New Orleans for years, and I don't think I'm revealing anything,
is there's a disparate condition of security. It doesn't mean any part of

(04:57):
Orleans Parish is completely safe, butyou're a lot safer, for example,
if you're in Uptown, parts ofUptown New Orleans and parts of Lakeview,
because you have private police forces thatcome in, the private patrols that people
private security districts. It's a taxmeasure that comes through and interestingly, most
of them are owned by the chairmanof the State Republican Party, Lewis Curvich,

(05:18):
but they actually because there's a presenceon this, there's actually a statistical
average between the amount of violent crimethat happens and frankly, let's be blunt,
richer, more fluent, more yuppyneighborhoods than happens in conventionally poor,
more African American neighborhoods. And oneof the things Chief Fitzpatrick wants to do

(05:40):
is relocate NPD sources to where thecrime is. But if you take police
off the streets, even principal police, it's going to affect crime. So
that's the idea, and I thinkwe're going to see in this legislative session
an unparalleled expansion of state authority andcrime. Now, Hi, this would
you know? People are like,well, I thought Republicans are supposed to
be for a localism and all this, And I keep having this conversation with

(06:02):
people and I keep it trying toexplain this. On social issues, Jeff
Landry is a little to the rightof Attilada Hunt. However, he's not
that ideologically conservative on fiscal issues.I was sitting with a very prominent legislative
staffer who show remain nameless unless Iask him if he can come in,
but we're talking about the session.He was a chief aide to a longtime

(06:26):
legislator committee chairman and now is representinganother one. He's been a player in
Baton Rouge for years on the staffside, and he does a lot of
stuff outside of Louisiana. He actuallydoes polling stuff for other states, and
so he and I were tiring.One of his friends who came and visited
the Louisiana Legislature was astonished that hedidn't see Republican and Democrat sides of the

(06:48):
aisle. And he saw the legislatorsbasically sat regardless of their party. And
you had a Democrat, Republican,and African American and white all over the
place. And even if you knowanything about it, it extends to committe
assignments. And up until recently youhad half Republicans have Democrats, even though
you had almost two thirds Republicans inthe state Senate. And he said,
well, don't you have two partiesin Louisiana. My friend looked at him

(07:11):
and said, well, we do. We have trial lawyers and oil and
gas. It's two parties in Louisiana. It doesn't really have. We got
tri lawyer Republicans, we got triallawyer Democrats, we got pro business Republicans.
And the joke is, on theone hand, Troy Carter was the
Republican candidate for Congress in the secondGngressional district. On the other hand,
Jeff Landry, the Conservative candidate forgovernor, was running against Lobby that was

(07:33):
Steve Wagen's back he's running against traditionaloil and gas interest. He was running
to the with the trial lawyers notonly support, they were the ones bankrolling
his campaign in a way they evenhad done for John Bell Edwards the way
they'd done for Edwin Edwards. Andso one of the things that's been interesting
about this is Jeff Landry, froma fiscal standpoint, at least in the

(07:55):
conventional what we think of as afederalist local government and conservatives, is not
that fiscally ideologically conservative. He's muchmore of a centralist, and it plays
well if you're trying to take overparishes for crime. It also makes one
wonder what's going to happen on taxas. We've talked about that with Richard Nelson.
But it's going to play that sessionvery much. It's a tribal it's

(08:16):
a little bit more tribal, andI'm curious to see how that's going to
play off because you're gonna have weirdcoalitions in this legislative session. Because of
that, You're gonna have Landry pushingsome of these crime measures. You're gonna
see African American legislators for them,and you're gonna see rule white legislators who
think would be the governor's closest Republicanallies who are going to say this is
a bad idea, and it's goingto go back and forth. It's going

(08:37):
to be a very odd session.He's going to win it because right now
the crime situation is so extreme thatwhen you've got African American, you know,
officials in a democratic, liberal citysaying come in, you're not going
to get a no. But it'sgoing to It's a play. It's a
subtext. For example, in Treeport, there's a sheriff's race. It's been

(08:58):
a highly poled size situation. Thesheriff, the Democratic candidate, won over
the Republican candidate by a whopping onevote. This went to before the courts.
They ordered a new election because theyfound that there were two people who
voted twice in each case. Theywere actually party officials from the parish for
the Republicans. So the Democrats arelike, wait, who do you think

(09:20):
they voted for? They probably didn'tvote for the Democrat. How does this
justify another election? But technically itwas. It made the election in doubt,
so they're having another election. Thishas been the subtext. The Democrat
is like, we don't need thestate to come in. The Republican has
been Actually the Republican show you howsquare is like, no, the state
needs to be you need to comein. So it shows that some of

(09:41):
this is going to have for aweird legislative session, and politics itself is
undergoing a massive realignment. There's areason why Republicans while they have a very
difficult election, Trump's leading, butthe Republicans are in a very difficult position
in the House Representatives, not theSenate, for the United States Congress because

(10:03):
of redistricting. They may lose fiveseats in the South and five seats in
New York. Those aren't light.That's ten seats. Remember the majority right
now with the vacancies is two usedto be four five. And people want
to but they're not worried long term. Why Well, right now Republicans are
winning whites without a four year collegedegree, they lose whites with a college

(10:28):
degree. That's the exact opposite ofwhat it was twenty years ago. But
as this has happened, people aremoving to states, and congressional seats may
move by twenty thirty to those stateswhere they have a higher proportion of working
class whites, and believe it ornot, there's been an exodus from states
like California and New York in Illinoisto states like Florida, Texas, and

(10:52):
Arizona. So we'll see how thatplays. But it's going to make for
some interesting politics, and it makesfor some interesting politics for Jeff Landry because
the conventional conservative liberal labels when itcomes to fiscal issues high don't really matter
in Baton Rouge or as much.To the same extent, that doesn't mean
there's a weird realignment, but itmeans that in some issues, Why is

(11:13):
Jeff Landry more comfortable with the ideaof keeping Medicaid expansion. Well, that's
a lot of his voters, whichwould have been unthinkable for a Republican eight
years ago in repealing Obamacare, andyet it's one of the things that would
hurt him most with some of hiskey constituencies. Very interesting Louisiana politics.

(11:33):
You just don't get more unusual,more crazy, more interesting, and so
let's see how it all works out. It's going to be very exciting to
see how he leads our state.He's I believe, one of the best
statesman we've had in a long timein Louisiana, and noticed I didn't say
politics, and I don't like that'sa dirty word for me. And if

(11:54):
I see a really good man likeLandry, I call him a statesman.
And my sister twins Sa will beat his inauguration ball and mass and and
and you know party and all that. And yeah, she's probably the first
person ever give him a vision forbeing the governor as a little boy.
So she's going to be there withhis nanny Sel that's one of my sister's

(12:16):
closest friends, Marcel b Invenue.We all know about Marcel and cooking and
food, and she is his aunthis auntie, so they're gonna have a
great time. I wish I couldbe with them. You couldn't get Getting
tickets was just about impossible. Youhad to really be and to get a
ticket you had to go through anextreme FBI check. It's believed that there's

(12:37):
going to be a secret guest arriving. Mm hmm, like maybe President Trump.
Wow, that's shocking President Trump,who supported his entire candidacy for the
very beating. No, I actuallythink there is there is a Trump wants
to show his power and look,you can be a Trump critic but still

(12:58):
come out and say that his torsementof Landry kind of made the candidacy.
There really wasn't a race. Afterthat, I will say that there isn't
another side fact where I don't knowLandry is not exactly a statesman. I'm
gonna put him down because scalise andevery other Republican is gunning right now as
the other legislative session is for redistricting. Courts have said we have to have

(13:18):
two African American congressional districts that onethird the population the state Louisiana's. As
we've discussed in the program previously,the other issue they will be tackling is
creating a second black majority district.But as we noted in the last program,
the other interesting thing is how manyblack people will be in the new
black district. And why do wesay that? Because Jeff Landry wants to

(13:39):
get rid of Garrett Graves, theRepublican Congressman from Baton Rouge and who supported
not only McCarthy but over Scalisee,but supported Steve Wagon's back over Jeff Landry.
And it's not the logical seat toget rid of Julia Letlowe's is where
there's a higher proportion of African Americansabout thirty eight percent versus twenty seven point
five. But if they draw thenumbers up to forty five percent or fifth

(14:03):
forty six percent, they have totake away at least a few percentage points
away from the second congressional district,which we think of as a New Orleans
district but actually spreads all the wayup to the river to North Baton Rouge.
If they do that and they createtwo districts that are forty five forty
six percent African American, which istechnically allowed by the courts, is it
possible that an African American can't winthem? Have we created two white democratic

(14:28):
districts. Is it possible, forexample, that they could be swing districts
under the right circumstances. These kindof questions will be the center of debate
in this legislative session, and it'snot a light issue. Republicans are going
to lose their the redistrict that wasso positive for them in New York State
where they ended up getting fair districts, and so they picked up Long Island,

(14:48):
they picked up Queens, they pickedup white ethnic districts, Staten Island,
they're going to lose those They're goingto be those districts who'll be out.
They're going to lose at least fourseats in the South that where they're
mandating more African American districts. Andif that happens, literally, and this
is what we're going to talk aboutafter the break, Trump could win the

(15:09):
presidency. Republicans could win the Senatebecause they only have to pick up seats
in Montana and in West Virginia whichare held by Democrats John Chester and the
outgoing Joe Mansion but conventionally Gopher Republicansby sixteen eighteen twenty three points. But
they could end up with a losingthe House of Representatives in the middle of
that race. That's kind of theweird election that we're looking at, and

(15:33):
we'll talk about that and the factthat interestingly large numbers of people are dissatisfied
with Trump and Biden and the latestpoll said something that you're not going to
believe, folks, and it cutsacross racial, ethnic and ideological lines.
Is there an opportunity for somebody else? We'll talk about that. We'll also
talk about the most significant day inAmerican history, after the fourth of July,

(15:58):
and that could very well be theeighth of January. Folks, All

(19:59):
say something that's gonna make high butmore importantly his lovely bride Libo very happy.
So have you heard about the newfashion trend high? Oh yeah,
yeah, yeah, we're going atEdwardians. I've been amazed about how counterculture
has come full hand. So forthose of you don't know, are had
they add? You know, I'minvolved with the Garden District Bookshop. My
wife and I purchased it with CarolGelderman several years ago. And one of

(20:22):
the things I found out was withyoung women that you know young girls,
and you can't use girls anymore.But you know in their teens they love
to go buy hardback books, andthat this was kind of like a form
of rebellion to read paper books.You have made many sense, not a
large number, not the majority,but a minority, and that was very
telling. It was their form ofrebellion was reading books and buying books and

(20:45):
putting books on a shelf kind ofwarms the heart, especially if you're in
a bookstore. Well, one ofthe things that I've been thinking about for
months, but I haven't really talkedabout in the air because I couldn't prove
it was something that happened to meback in October. Now, if some
of you remember, we did theshow from the Queen Mary Too at sea
up in Quebec. We did theshow by our mode, and we do
it. It's been like third yearwe've done it from the Queen Mary Too,

(21:07):
and it's really kind of fun.And one of these days I'm gonna
be able to bring High and Libelwith me on that trip. I really
want to. He's going like,so he's looking like, yeah, you've
been promising me this for years,but you start or in the trip in
New York City and we were startingthe trip in New York City, and
I got there a day early,and I was walking up. So my
cousin lives in the West Village andshe and her fiance and my aunt's old

(21:32):
house, and so I walk upa few blocks and right in the middle
of downtown Lower Manhattan is the FashionInstitute of Technology. Now, if you've
never had a chance to go,I highly recommend it. It's got this
wonderful museum. They change the exhibitsevery few months. And for those that
even if you're not interested in fashion, and I've never been a big interest
in fashion, they're fascinating because it'shistory through close and it tells you this.

(21:55):
And it has happens to be thelitt lower price of free. And
there's not a lot in New YorkCity that is free, so you know,
I'm cheap. I take advantage ofwhat's free and I go there,
especially since it's different every time I'veseen it. Anyway, I'm walking up
to the museum and the Fashion InstituteTechnology is not just a museum, it's
a it's a graduate academy of fashion. It's where every great fashion designer in
the world studies. And something weird, as I was looking is first,

(22:22):
some of the young women that werewalking in were very nicely dressed, like
a little what would seem overdressed,but kind of. But what was fascinating
was the young men. So thesewere young men, maybe twenty twenty one,
twenty two years old, twenty threeat the max, not very old,
and they were walking in as dandiesin the trasitional sense of the word.

(22:44):
Bow ties, waistcoats like a Yankeedode, of course, not quite
that, you know, over thetop and colors. They look very stylish,
but stylish you'd expect in maybe Idon't know, you know, the
teens or maybe the late thirties,not the nineteen twenties flapper stylish, but
the kind of stylish but we thinkis classic, you know, pre war

(23:07):
dress up. And it wasn't one. It was like seven or eight walking
in as students on a Thursday.I mean, there's nothing special about the
day. They won't going to aspecial event. They're dressed and look at
this, I'm saying, wait,they just decided in a place where you
usually expect college kids to be ifyou're lucky, in jeans and a T
shirt and somewhere like most were.But they're dressed up like this, and

(23:30):
I'm looking at this, I'm saying, there's something strange going on here.
So I started paying attention for thenext few months, and I started seeing
something weird amongst a subculture of youngpeople. Maybe it's just senting from the
steampunk culture, maybe it's not,but they've been dressing up superlatively bow ties,
real elegant suits years ago. WhenI go downtown, you'd expect most

(23:55):
other people to wear suits. Doesn'thappen. It's the kids, or at
least a subculture of them that are. And so finally, I've been thinking
about this for months, but Iwas like, I gotta be going crazy
because this just doesn't make sense,it doesn't fit until Axios Access New Orleans
actually published this, but it wasin the national Axios feed. And it's
apparent that the style decision that isbeing predicted for the year twenty twenty four

(24:18):
is called and I'm not making thisup quote the grandpa look, and the
grandpa look is exactly what we justdescribed. Imagine the way you would think
your grandparents are. In the caseof a lot of these kids, they're
great grandparents there. This is terrifyingto say Hi, but their grandparents are
your generation. They're you know,they came of age in the sixties and
seventies. It's not them their greatgrandparents would have dressed. That is the

(24:44):
style that they're adopting, and that'sthe countercultural style. No more tie died,
more like the great sprint ties.No more you know, t shirts,
more like the waistcoats, folks.It is just astonishing to me,
and it's kind of funny. I'vealways been told that Kida wisdom has observed
the masses and d the opposite.But I've also been told other things.

(25:07):
Young people always rebel, and theyalways rebell it exactly the same way as
like herd culture. What is goingto happen when young people rebel by wearing
dress up clothes and adopting classic battersat reading books, folks, I felt
very good about the future of thecountry at that moment, very very interesting.

(25:30):
It's amazing how things come full circleand in folks, so we'll say
I heard. You know, it'sfunny. I met a guy doing a
big protest for the tearing down themonuments, and he was wearing a spiked
helmet. He looked like a realradical, and I wanted to talk to
him, so I went to Italked to a lot of people during that
time, and it turns out he'svery pro saved the monuments and was very

(25:55):
much against all this radical you know, the mob you will, who were
trying to tear everything down. AndI started talking. He says, you
know, we think we've got it. We think because the new generation,
Generation Z is going end up beinga very conservative group of people, which
I thought, that's astounding. Sothis is fitting with their dress. Now,
it's fitting this concept he had aboutGeneration Z becoming a very strong conservative

(26:22):
block in America. We'll see,we'll see. I wonder if that's why
the Democrats want so many illegal aliensto come in to try to balance that
off, to establish a heat oneof the largest voting blocks. It will
be an illegal voting block. Butsince when did that bother them? You
know, they're trying to get allthe illegals to vote, of course,
vote for the Democrats, and oneof the most criminal actions ever taking place

(26:44):
in this country. And I wonderwhat does Generation Z think about that?
That would be a good polling question. I'm going to say something, just
gonna find it interesting. First ofall, I'm not sure that's exactly the
Democratic strategy, but excuse me,folks want them because when they go up
to New York, the liberals upthere start screaming, holler on Martha's vineyard.

(27:06):
They call in the military to haulthem off. No, they don't
want them up there. They wantthem to load up the Red States so
they can take over the Red State. Well, but I'm going to go
back, which are us with allthe problems. They don't want those problems.
No, they don't want them.For them in their own backyard,
and we can go into Mayor EricAdams of New York kind of said that
about the cruelty of Governor Abbott ofTexas by sending him all the people that

(27:32):
would have ended up in Texas.So as there is Yeah, there is
a certain degree of hypocrisy going on. I agree with that. But what
I'm going to say is the interestingdemographics of Generation C. So there's a
new poll that came out from USAtoday in Suffolk University. It found that
that from after found that President Bidenis actually losing We've talked about this losing

(27:56):
support bucks back voters. After carryingeighty seven percent support of the demographic.
In twenty twenty, Biden now hassixty three percent of hard support amongst Black
voters. Moreover, amongst Hispanic voters, his support has followed with thirty four
percent compared to Trump's thirty nine percent, where Biden in the last election got
sixty five percent of that group,and in twenty twenty, Biden crushed Trump

(28:21):
by twenty four points amongst Hispanics.But the thing that's interesting about all of
this is that his support from youngervoters has fallen by twenty four points.
Now, let me explain this.Not all these people are going to Trump.
Here's what's happening. And this goesto your theory about generation C.
Every one of these demographics that I'vejust said, essentially the younger you go

(28:44):
and the more male you go,it's not actually true of women. Women
for the most part are staying prettystrong Black, White, Hispanic amongst with
Biden. But the younger man yougo, especially in Hispanics and African Americans,
there's a higher probability of setying Idon't want to support Biden. That
doesn't mean necessarily they're supporting Trump.It means that they're not going to vote

(29:06):
for Biden. They may stay home, which is effectively supporting Trump, or
they're willing to support a potential thirdparty candidate. And this is why I'm
saying it some of the people.It's one of the explanations why Robert F.
Kennedy, Junior, Jill Stein,the Green Party at Cornell West are
potential beneficiaries of this. But it'salso the reason why you keep seeing this

(29:26):
no labels ticket thing. Now,remember at the beginning of December, we
had a lady by the name ofJennifer Franks on the air and she had
this draft Romney Mansion campaign going on. Well, what's been fascinating is they
started polling it. Believe it ornot, some of the initial polls they're
saying is putting a Romney Mansion tickettied with both Biden and Trump. But

(29:48):
here's the interesting thing, it's takingfrom both equally. So one of the
things that this USA Today Suffolk Poleis saying, is it used to be
that a spoiler candidate is to distinctlyaffect one side or the another. And
arguably Jill Stein of the Green Partyis gonna affect Biden more than she affects
Trump. I mean, I thinkit's a fair statement as well, corn
out West. But one of thethings they're finding is Robert Kennedy, for

(30:11):
example, is probably affecting Trump alittle bit more than is affecting Biden at
the very least. It's even whatthey're a real third party candidate though that
comes in the center. It's affectingboth equally because young people are so sick
of the Republican and Democratic duopoly,and they're looking at this and they're saying,
a pox in both of your houses. We don't believe either one of
you. And it's not that they'relooking for some left wing or right wing

(30:33):
lungs. They've been mugged by reality. The funniest thing there are these great
TikTok videos high about gen Z whata gen Z thinks done by Generation xers.
Now, you gotta understand, youknow, Generation xers grew up in
the wake of your generation. Now, this is not a person of the
high who spent his whole life tryingto fix things. But let's just say

(30:56):
to Baby boomers, screwed up theworld pretty considerably. They they did a
pretty good job. They all rebelled. Gen Xers are kind of the reaction
to that. We were just tryingto save ourselves. Millennials come around,
millennial's ideologues, and then gen zerscome around. So they asked the gen
zers, what do you think ofmillennials? Now, millennials are people who
came of age about two thousands,So these are the people who are in
there, who are in their thirtiesand just about to turn forty. They

(31:22):
looked at it and they said,God, I think nothing but contempt.
It's like, what is this?How do you judge a generation that his
entire identity is based on what housethey would be in in some mythical magic
series, talk about Harry Potter orgryffindor Slyther and so on and so forth.
He thought about it. It waslike the gen zs like, what
do you think? I think thesepeople are nuts. And they're talking about

(31:45):
the media generation. They're the kidsof gen xers. Gen x Ers are
the kids of the pre Baby Boomgeneration. And there can be children,
but they're the very beginnings of theBaby boom, at the very ends of
the end of the aurals. Andwhat I'm saying is the baby boomers are
kind of the children of the predepressionand early depression does and so It's interesting

(32:07):
to me looking at these generations politically, is sometimes politics are changed by skipping
generations, and because sometimes you're morelike the generation you're raised by, the
others, the baby Boomers. Everybodysays the baby Boomers with the rebels,
Well not if you came of agein sixty one or sixty two. If
you came of age in sixty eightand the late baby Boomers, maybe it

(32:30):
depends. But what I'm seeing isthat gen Z truly is disaffected. They're
looking at a world where they havedebt. They're looking at a world of
well, they can get a job, but they can't make enough money to
pay for it. They're looking ata challenge where there's opportunity but not reward.

(32:50):
And they're looking at a world whereif they try to buy a house
that cost one hundred thousand dollars fifteenyears ago, it now costs four hundred
thousand. And that is exaggeration.That's the average home cost in New Orleans.
Folks. Yeah, gen Z ismad and they're not gonna take it
anymore. And that's what you're seeingpolitically, and it's going to affect our
politics for the next ten years.Very very interesting. I wonder what the

(33:14):
next generation is gonna be after Z. It's amazing that I've gotten to live
through all these generations and now anticipatingeven the next one coming along. Folks.
This world is awfully interesting, isn'tit. You never know how it's
really gonna end up. But onething I do know, all the signs
are here that Jesus is coming backreally really soon. So this new up

(33:37):
and coming generation, but that's that'sgonna be, that's gonna be their identity,
the generation where Christ came back.So it's getting exciting, folks.
But I do know the hour ofto day is coming up on Monday,
and that of course is January eighth. Now people are like, no,
no, no, you Tid Moore, you misspoke. The big day is
January sixth. That's twelfth Night,Marty Gross darts. That's a sacred day,

(34:00):
folks. It's one of the mostimportant days in American history. And
so that's what we wanted to sortof close out today's regular conversation and talk
about is I've been very proud ofTim Strain and his group that has managed
to keep on the reenactments of theBattle of New Orleans. They came up
on the sixth so as other peoplewere having their wonderful Twelfth Night things.

(34:23):
And I love the forty funny fellows, and I love everything that happens with
the crew of Joan of Arc.But the most consequential thing happened actually January
sixth, Saturday, Saint Bernard.For those that hear this in time,
I hope you will go from nineto three at the Miuro track that's right
behind you can park at the samePernar Cultural Center and go that. Most

(34:44):
of us will hear this on Sundayand it will have already passed. But
let me explain what has happened onFriday and Saturday of this past week that
you had two hundred and fifty reenactors come out and teach about the most
consequential battle in American history, afterGetty's Yorktown and rivaling Either and roughly five

(35:06):
thousand school children went out and theynot only saw the battles and the reenactments,
they got to meet period reenactors,including some ladies that were happy and
dined with us at the Chicory Housein their period dress, talking about the
games of the period, the waypeople lived and what are we talking about
we're talking about the Battle of NewOrleans and every couple of years high and
I like to remind you guys ofwhat as in New Orleanians, you have

(35:29):
to be proud of. You savedthe United States. You saved our history.
You saved the fact that the borderof the United States would have been
the Mississippi River, and this wouldhave been the southern output of Canada,
a nation at war with America fora century if we had not won in
the field to shout that, butwhat about the subtrifuge of the fact that

(35:50):
the treaty had already been signed.It was a wasted battle, folks.
What you don't understand is in thetreaty the war was still on. This
is insane. Treaties continue wars.This one did. So the war was
not over. And to prove it, the British had built the largest armada
in the history of the world tocross the Atlantic coming to the Gulf,
thirty thousand strong, which was avery large number back then, to take

(36:14):
the Mississippi Valley and own it andcontrol it. It was over with for
this country. We had lost everybattle. We ran and signed the treaty
because we had lost every almost everyland battle. The British had already taken
DC and burned it down. Folks. We were in a desperate, desperate
state. It not only saved America, but another little forgotten fact is it

(36:35):
saved the Union because you see,New England was seceding from the Union at
the time. They wanted to beon the winning side. Made had gone
so far as declared itself a Britishsubject. New Hampshire had succeeded. They
were seceeding at the Hartford Convention inConnecticut, and when they got the news
that we had won, they didan immediate you know about face, and
they came running back to America.They all of a sudden they realized the

(36:58):
winning side was going to be Americannow, not the British. I think
it's a terrible story about New England, but yeah, that's where they were,
folks. And not very patriotic werethey. I don't know why they
call themselves the New England patriots.That doesn't sound very patriotic to me at
all, especially in the middle ofa war where you turn on your own
side. Anyway, New Orleans savedthe country from all of that, and
it was mainly uh, Jackson's forces, and half of his forces were the

(37:22):
New Orleans folks, the wild,crazy Creole Cajuns and Indians and everything else
that was down here in New Orleans, the gallat and Alley group, that's
like the Gangs of New York upin five Points. All that group gathered
together and we whooped the daylights outthe British. An amazing story, you
see, folks. The British forcesthat came here were under a special set

(37:45):
of orders. And we give creditto Rondress who's been a past guest on
this program, who uncovered this theBritish Naval Archives at Richmond that said very
simply, the British forces had GeneralThreedward Packy had four orders, this second
of which was ignore all words ofa treaty, w hold New Orleans at
all costs. They had sent overeight thousand of the most cracked troops in

(38:07):
the world, backed up by anarmada under General Sir Alexander Cockburn. And
what were they supposed to do?They were supposed to stay here. The
Scottish troops brought their families. Theyoutnumbed the soldiers on the field, outnumbered
the people of New Orleans almost twoto one. There were four seven hundred

(38:29):
and thirty two people in the fieldof shaw meat. It's almost every man,
woman and child, slave and freeCreole, Cajun, Choctaw, black
white. The Battle of New Orleansis the first battle where if the Free
people of called the jondical Leib ofNew Orleans faced the Free West Indies Division,
which is the Free Blacks of Butit's the first time African Americans and

(38:49):
African Afrobrits faced each other in opencombat, but as citizens of their nation.
It's a very consequential moment when westopped them, and it was a
near run thing, but it wasbecause every person put down and went out
there. Doug dig now, Igotta give you. Andrew Jackson did understand
executive motivation. He said, getout there and dig, or I'll burn
your house down. So that's whatyou call that's what you call leadership.
And he did put the Barratarians behindyou to say, if you don't get

(39:12):
shot by the British, I'll shootyou. So it was very effective management.
But nevertheless, imagine this for amoment. This is the Battle of
New Orleans. Suddenly invading the UnitedStates is something equivalent to the hundred and
first Airborne or Russian spurts Nats,and you got the Russian spirts snatch,
you got the best soldiers in theworld, and they're coming in on a
four mile track and they basically sayto you, Okay, you may have

(39:36):
never held a gun in your life, get out there, dig a ditch
and start firing, and you've gotto save your homes. And by the
way, they outnumber you almost twoto one. That's what happened for the
people of New Orleans standing up fortheir homes. And because they stopped the
British on that field, the treaty, the treaty that was going to end
the war, said status quo AneBellaman. Any disputed territories would revert to

(39:58):
the conqueror. And this would havebeen the end of the United States,
sponsoring a century of war between Britainand the United States and a far different
history and no special relationship if thePatriots had not won on January eighth,
eighteen fifteen. Amen, so well, said Christopher in Folks. At the
end of the day, the Americanshad lost about a dozen people. The
British, almost the entire army waslaying on the field dead, dying or

(40:21):
wounded, and two thousand laying onthe field. So folks, you can
see how God gave us the victoryand you'll hear about that in the upcoming
chaplain by Bah Patriotic moment in justa little bit as we go into our
final break. Hang in there,folks, it's going to get exciting.

code five zero four seven two threenine three six nine. Folks, We're
of exciting ministry. It's great.Ready to have a New Year's resolution,
get involved with helping the inner city, the urban poor. It's challenging,

(41:52):
folks, but we've seen miracles comeout of it. We've seen close to
five thousand kids come to Christ andwe have seen hundreds go on to live
very productive, good wholesome lives,lives they would have probably never have had
being from there. You know,the terrible backgrounds they come from which they
come. They're called short terms.That means by their mid twenties or anything,

(42:13):
gonna be dead and jail forul lifeof living at the homeless Mission.
And the great tragedy of this.They all know it and they think it's
normal. That's the great tragedy.And folks, God has given us the
wonderful joy of turning that and givingthem real hope and a real future.
And it's all thank you, LordJesus. It's thank you God that we've
been able to do that. Soplease check us out again, go to

(42:35):
our website Lambanola dot com. That'sl A N B n O LA dot
com. And thank you so veryvery God. Ols. Well, folks
were back, and this is chaplain, Hi, McHenry, and it's not
time for us to go into ourchaplain by by patriotic moment. We just
take a brief moment to remind youof the biblical foundations of our country,

(42:58):
our Judeo Christian arsprudence. And todaywe want to talk about the Battle of
New Orleans and Andy Jackson and theUrsuline Nuns. Did you know that during
that battle, everybody in the city, whatever older men, mainly old men,
women and children that were left,were all at the Ursuline convent praying.

(43:19):
Protestant Catholics, whatever they were,it did matter, Jews, it
didn't matter. We were all gatheredtogether praying for this most terrible of events
which appeared that we were going toface a complete and total slaughter by a
far superior British force. And youknow that when the battle was old with
Antrew Jackson went back into New Orleansto thank the nuns for praying. And

(43:40):
he found out that every time therewas a major turn in the battle,
the nuns were literally and and allof the people of New Orleans, like
I said, of every denomination,were all praying for that specific event.
Folks, Andrew Jackson knew God savedNew Orleans, saved America, and saved
the Union. After the battle,Andrew Jackson wrote, it appears that the

(44:07):
unerring hand of Providence shielded my menfrom the showers of balls, bombs and
rockets, when every ball and bombfrom our guns carried with them a mission
of death. I was sure ofsuccess, for I knew that God would
not give me provisions of disaster,but signs of victory. God said,
this ditch can never be passed.That's a rodbery canal. It cannot be

(44:30):
done. Andrew Jackson wrote to theSecretary of War James Monroe in February of
that same year, eighteen fifteen.Heaven, to be sure, has interposed
most wonderfully in our behalf, andI'm filled with gratitude when I look back
to what we have escaped. OnMarch in eighteen thirty five, Andrew Jackson
wrote in a letter, I wasbrought up a rigid Presbyterian, to which

(44:51):
I've always adhered. Our excellent Constitutionguarantees to everyone one freedom of religion and
charity, and tells us she youknow charity is the real basis of all
true religion. Judge a tree byits fruit. All who professed Christianity believe
in a Savior, and that bythrough him we must be saved. We

(45:12):
thought therefore to consider all good Christianswhose walks correspond with their professions, be
they Presbyterians, Pittsipaans, Baptist methods, Jews are Romans, Roman Catholics,
that they are all. We areall one biblical family. Folks, Sisters,
Andrew Jackson, I think you wantto keep God in government? How
about you? You want to keepGod in government? How about keeping God

(45:32):
in you? And by the way, the the Nuns have been praying for
New Orleans since they first got itthere. The first I think they had
the first school in the Mississippi Valley, first Church of the Missippi Valley.
Do you know that every major disasterthat is coming on is the great fires,
hurricanes are Every time the nuns gatheredfor those events and prayed, we

(45:54):
was saved. The one time theywere not, they were taken away and
could not be in their praying wasdoing Katrina. And we know what happened
there. That didn't work God verywell did it. Anyway? Folks,
we need God in America and youneed God in you, Like Andrew Jackson
just said that through Christ we mustbe saved. Well, folks, so

(46:16):
it's not time for us to gointo our chaplain by by gospel moment where
I just took a brief moment toshow you how you can know that you
know that, you know you area Christian, you're guaranteed heaven and you're
saved from hell. And it goeslike this, did you know that God
loves you with an everlasting love?The Bible says. In fact, the
Scripture says in John three sixteen,for God so loved the world. That's

(46:38):
you, that's everybody that He gavehis only begotten son. That's the Lord
Jesus Christ, perfect God, perfectman, all the way, God,
all the way man he gave hisonly begotten son, that whosoever believeth in
him, well, believe what believethat he died for all of your sins
on the cross, that his bloodwashed away are your sins, that he
was buried, and that he rosefrom the dead. That's what you need

(46:58):
to believe, folks. In thecalls that the gospel, and it says
that it's the Gospel is the powerof God unto salvation to whosoever believeth So,
folks, that whosover believeth in himmeans you believe in Jesus and what
he did for us to save usfrom a burning hell and guarantee a heaven
because he did die on the crossfor all of your sins. In rose
the dead to win for each andevery one of us that precious free gift

(47:21):
of resurrection, everlasting life, thatwhosoever believing in Him shall not perish,
not go to hell a burning hell, not perish, but have everlasting life.
Folks, if you've never done thisbefore, do it now. You
know. The scripture says we've beensaved by grace. That means free gift,
free gift. It's free, folks. We've been saved by grace through
faith. That's how you take it. You take it with the hand of

(47:45):
faith, by believing it's true.For you, We've been saved by grace
through faith. And even that isnot of ourselves. It is a gift
of God, not of works,lest any man should boast. You.
See, we're not even smart enough, we' go enough to develop our own
faith. God has to give itto us. But the Bible says God
has given the word of faith toall people. And it says, and
faith come up by hearing and hearingby the word of God. That means

(48:07):
what you're hearing right now, Iam quoting scripture to you. And then
it says, for the grace ofGod, which brings salvation, hath appeared
unto all men. So everybody getsfaith, everybody gets grace. What are
you going to do with it?You're going to put that faith that God
gives you in the Gospel? Areyou going to put in something stupid and
foolish that will only guarantee you aneternal damn nation? Folks, put your

(48:28):
money where Jesus says, that's whereit's going to really come. Believe in
him, Believe that he really diddie for all your sins, was buried
and rose from the dead to winfor you his precious, free gift of
resurrection, ever lasting life. Youknow, the Bible says he that no
sin, that's Jesus was made sin. He was turned into every one of
our dirty, rotten sins, Allof us, the entire human race,

(48:49):
was made sin that you might bemade the righteousness of God and him.
Isn't it wonderful? He takes allour bad to give us all his good
He takes all our vile, horriblesins, and it's turned into the sin,
that he might defeat that sin onthe cross. Well, then he
turns and gives us all his goodness, all his righteousness, folks. He
can't get any better than that.What love that is, and that loves

(49:10):
for you folks. Well, itis time for us to go into our
final thing, and that is thewatchman on the wall. We just took
a brief moment to take a lookat world events and what's going on.
Did you know that the whole worldliterally is pivoting on Israel as far as
eschatological eventscope. That's a fancy theologicalworld which just means end times, the
end times, the end of theworld, the end of our time,

(49:32):
if you will, well, folks, that time is coming, and it's
quickly coming upon us. Israel isthe pivot point. It's the barometer of
what's happening as far as when Jesuscomes back. Did you know that Israel
has been thrown out of their countryand attempted to be totally genocide and destroyed
three separate times, not once,but three separate times. That every throughout

(49:53):
history, every nation that has beenwiped out and driven from its land never
comes. That's the end of thatnation. It is gone, it's culturally
and in many cases genetically genocided,it is wiped out, and there's nobody
left from that nation. And ifwherever they might be, the ones that
survived it, their culture is gone, their nation has gone. Forever.

(50:15):
There's only been one nation where thishas happened to them three separate times,
and every time they have come backfirst time, Egypt, second time,
Babylonians third time, and the Assariansthe third time, the Romans, where
the Romans completely destroyed Israel and theyhauled everybody off as slaves. The ones
they didn't kill, they killed mostof them, but the ones that were

(50:36):
left they hauled off the slaves.They changed the name of everything. They
even changed the name to Philistia,which they did that to rub the because
the Philistines were the forever enemies ofthe Jews, eternal enemies of the Jews,
So just to mock Israel, theyeven changed the name to Philistine,
which now we've pronounced in Palestine,folks. And yet the Jews they're back

(51:00):
there right now in the land andthey're prospering. The dry bones of Ezekiel
have come back together and are nowdancing in the valley, folks. Israel
is back as one of the greatestnations in the world. Today. They're
the fruit and vegetable garden basket ofEurope. They're getting ready to have one

(51:21):
of the most productive gas in allfields in the world and going to supply
Europe with gas and oil, whichhas got the Russians all upset and preparing
them to come down and conquer Israelto save their own economy, because it's
all based on their gas and oil. You know, Russia's just like a
giant gas tank, that's their economy, and there if Europe gets another source,

(51:45):
that's gonna be a blow to Russia. That is the Ezekiel thirty eighth
or non war developing right now?Just like the Bible prophetes side, there's
so many prophecies there are over toning prophecies by Jesus second Coming. They're
all coming to happen. They're allcoming to bar right now, right before
us. Jee said, when yousee all these things happening at the same
time, coincidentally, they're all happening. They have to happen all at once.

(52:07):
We've had wars and rumors of thewalls. Pestilen says, this,
that, and I thing, allthe things you read about in the Book
of Revelation and Daniel and all theother prophetic books of the Ali discourse.
But folks, folks, we've neverhad it all happening at once. Ever,
ever, it's now happening for thefirst time. And he's the world
all happening at once. And Jeevessays, when that, when he gets
to that point, that's the countdown. I'm at the door, and he

(52:30):
says, he's coming like a thiefin the night. He's coming covertly,
folks. He's not going to comein here blour on trumpets and saying I'm
here. No he's coming. He'ssneaking back, and so he says,
because of that, you don't getcaught unawares. I'm giving you all these
signs. You won't know the daythey are, but you will know the
season. Get ready when you seethese signs, folks, are you ready?
One of the things Jeeves said wasgo to the mountains, go to
the hills, go in the caves. Hide. It's going to get bad.

(52:52):
Well, you may not have acave, especially down here, Losent,
but you know we can have Wecan have bunkers. And I got
the best bunker company in the world, Heavenly Bunker Construction. And you know
what their greatest bunker is the LordJesus Christ. Go to him right now,
make him your safe house, andyou will go. You will do
well as these end times unravel andbecome the worst time the world's ever seen.

(53:15):
Well, focus, it's time forus to close. Now, as
we close with the mind, SaintMartin, thanks so much for being with
us, singing a crell goodbye andGod bless all out there. We call
you cl goodbye. They think we'rejust wasted time. All three sibl me.

(53:46):
There's time for a creo goodbye.
