Hy and Christopher kick off talking about President Biden‘s visit to Tulane as part of the $150 million cancer "moonshot" initiative that aims to cut the cancer death rate in half by 2047. Of course, we mention that it helps that the Bidens' daughter, Ashley, graduated from Tulane in 2004 with a Bachelor's in anthropology. (Joe and Jill Biden timed their visit to coincide with the university’s move-in weekend, something that the Bidens themselves experienced as they tried to move their daughter’s possessions in her dorm-room in 2000.)
From there, we move on to speak about the vice presidential candidates, and criticisms from the left and the right of their military records. Both Hy and Christopher agree that JD Vance, the current Republican vice presidential nominee, not only volunteered to join the Marine Corps and served for four years in Iraq, but as a military journalist was actually involved in combat situations. Hy reflects on his experience with several military journalists in Afghanistan— and their valor under fire.
Not surprisingly, the two of us disagree on Democratic vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz. Walz served in the Nebraska and Minnesota National Guards for 24 years, retiring as a Master Sergeant in 2005. Christopher claims Walz is being “swift-boated” in his decision to retire from the National Guard to run for Congress, as he did not want to have a conflict of interest in remaining in the military, but Hy says that Walz abandoned his men by not finishing the command master sergeant course— and staying in the Guard. We both agree, though, that the critiques of Tim Walz for not being rich enough to run for office are absurd. (See Christopher’s Louisiana Weekly editorial below on that very topic.)
We then start talking about the future of New Orleans’ participation in the space program. Problems with Boeing's Artemis rocket program raise fears that the Michoud facility in New Orleans East could be shuttered. That would be a terrible blow for both the economy of the Crescent City as well as America’s future in space.
A critical report issued by NASA's Office of Inspector General regarding the 10-year Space Launch System Block 1B development for future Artemis astronaut missions to the Moon and Mars, pointed at least some fingers toward the "lack of a sufficient number of trained and experienced aerospace workers" at Boeing's Michoud Assembly Facility. The report found that Boeing’s quality management system at Michoud does not adhere to these standards or NASA requirements. NASA states a lack of quality control has led to 71 issues on the project that range from minor to potentially serious. With the Starliner capsule unable to return to earth, and astronauts waiting on the international space station, some have speculated that Boeing might actually get out of the space business. Hy and Christopher lament how detrimental that would be for both New Orleans and for NASA..
Taking Stock of the Real Investment in America
by Christopher Tidmore
God Forbid if Americans elect a middle-class Vice President, who can understand the trials and tribulations of living paycheck to paycheck. Imagine the terrible fate of our nation if the electorate decides, for once, to send to Washington a candidate unable to boast of a bank account of millions upon taking office?
The worst criticism levied against Tim Walz—at present—is that he lacks a portfolio of stocks, bonds, and securities. Fox pundit Jesse Watters went so far to contend that not owning a stock certificate means that Governor Walz “has never invested in America!”
Or should Watters have referred to him as Coach Walz? After all, he spent decades guiding young people both as a teacher in the classroom and trainer on the gridiron. No, perhaps Watters should call him Command Sergeant Major Walz, a title he earned after 24 years serving in the Nebraska and Minnesota Army National Guards— despite pundits retroactively seeking to rob him of his rank.
In fact, he could have kept that last military title and bolstered up his pension even further (perhaps to buy some stocks), but Walz thought it constituted a conflict of interest to serve in a military role and run for Congress at the same time.
Ultimately, Representative Walz spent his entire life in public service work so unremunerative that it took every dime earned by he and his wife just to buy a house and raise a family. They only sold their home, their only asset, when the newly elected Governor Walz moved into the Governor’s Mansion in Saint Paul.
In other words, the worst criticism made of the Democratic Vice Presidential candidate is that he resembles most of us. The majority of Americans lack the luxury and financial means to own stocks and bonds, but many invest in America in other ways. They serve in the military; they teach children; or they commit t

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Battles. The politicians addressed the digital datas and magicians whos
to see the money they did don't There's nothing to
fill the holes while they're filling their pockets. That holes
the politicians mountain down the road. Every body's for no moment,
(00:26):
corruption and its function. It's gone to take divine is off.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
President Biden visits New Orleans and makes a major cancer
donation at the same time that both of his the
vice presidential candidates, are being criticized on their military records
and how much money should one have when they enter
federal office? Is it okay to just be middle class?
Conversations about the space program came up with Elon musk
(00:56):
on X and there was a real feel for it
at the Mishue facility here in New Orleans, which is
going to see some layoffs amidst the Starliner circling still
in orbit.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
And God bless all out there. You are now listening
to the founders, show the voice to the founding fathers,
your founding fathers coming to you deep within the bowels
of those mystic and cryptic alligator swamps of the Big Easy,
that old Crescent City, New Orleans, Louisiana and high up
on top of that old Liberty Cypress tree draped in
(01:29):
Spanish moss. Way out on the Eagles Branch is none
other then you spend Gary Bubbay all the Republic Chaplain
Hi mcgenry.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Who with Christopher Tidmore, you roving reporter, resident radical moderate
and associate editor of the Louisiana Weekly newspaper at Louisiana
Weekly dot net and President Biden. First Lady Joe Biden
came to Tulane University to to meet with cancer researcher
Jay Quincy Brown and explain a cancer reaching you know,
(01:59):
cancer cue invention for part of the President's cancer moonshot.
When they flew into Louisiana, it was a who's who
of the Louisiana Democratic Party. Former Governor John Bell Edwards
greeted him, along with former Mayor Mitch Landrew, who, of
course as national co chair of the Biden camp. It
was of the Biden campaign along with Cedric Richmond. His sister,
(02:19):
Senator Mary Landrew was there. Former Senator John Brow, Mayor
LaToya Cantrell, Council President Helena Moreno City Council VP JP Morell,
Congressman Troy Carter. So you get the basically every Democrat
is a Democrat on a national level.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Came and made it.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
And what was interesting about when Biden came in was
most people don't realize here his daughter, Andrea went to Tulane.
She graduated in two thousand and four with a degree
of anthropology. She was actually there at the same time
my wife was. They were technically she was actually a
year ahead of her, but they were basically classmates, knew
each other, and it was in What was fascinating is
(02:57):
the week that Biden came in. You know, for all
the partisanship, we can relate to one thing as parents,
for those of us, for those of you I don't
have any kids, but those of you that have had
children starting college, you know, the most traumatic week of
the entire college year is when you, as a parent,
got to.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Move them into their dorms.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
And I still hear my father in law talking about
trying to move my wife up the stairs, four flights
of stairs because the elves weren't working, and the same
building that his wife. Well, what's interesting is Biden and
my father in law passed each other in the halls
because at the very same time Joe Biden was moving
his daughter in two thousand and in two thousand and
(03:40):
two thousand and one up the stairs at Tulane University
to move her in carrying lugging stuff up the stairs,
and he says he was basically saying, you know, God,
I just get exhausted thinking about coming to Tulane and
so I love it. But he at the same time,
folks made a joke that we all make. You know,
it's like you get a pay raise when your kids
finish college. You're not paying for it. The question becomes, though,
(04:05):
Louisiana is a huge benefit for this, for whether you
think you love or hate Joe Biden, appreciate the fact
that he's directing one hundred million dollars essentially to tu
Lane University and to two Lane and LSU's joint cancer
research program, which is going to be massive for our
economy as well as for cancer research. They think they
figured out a way. This is exciting. Can we actually
(04:26):
start with some good news?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Please? Please, Chris fun the good news. We need it
all weekend. Get you know, the gospel is the definition
of the gospel is good news?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Well, I mean there is real thought that they could
figure they have figured out how to turn off the cell,
turn off the gene that makes cancer cells replicate. So
in other words, you don't cure cancer, but it becomes
a chronic condition that as long as you take the
medication you can live as long as anyone else, because
(04:55):
all a cancer cell is is a normal cells replication
going crazy. So they think they've figured it out. That's
what this cancer research is. And as a real promise
that cancer could literally stop metastasizing, we could actually have
survival rates of cancer for twenty or thirty years.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
And folks who causes it as a virus is a
cancer virus that gets into the cell and basically takes
command of the cell and then enlarges it so that
that virus can reproduce and live inside that cell. And
so the cell starts enlarging and going crazy and loses
its function. And that's basically why cancer is so dangerous.
But if they can figure out a way where that
(05:34):
cell can protect itself, I guess, or in some kind
of way stop an outside source from causing it.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
To literally in this case, there are quite a lot
of viral cancers.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Kai is quite correct. Not every cancer is a viral cancer.
That's part of the problem.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Because cancer is caused by multiple different factors, but this
in this case, in most cancer conditions not all. What
it would stop is the cell from replicating, so you'll
be able to focus an unusual replication.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
And of course we know all about cancer viruses here
in Nuance because we were one of the biggest cancer
research places, that's the US Public Health here where Judah
Varry Baker was the understudy for doctor Mary, doctor Mary Sherman,
who was one of the leading cancer specialists and experts
in the world. And we know the story about how
they were trying to study the cancer virus by hitting
(06:26):
it with electrons and subatomic particles in the collider over there.
And from that game, who knows what. There's lots of
interesting stories. If you're interested, you got to read the
book Doctor Mary's Monkey will tell you all about. In fact,
as far as I know, it was first introduced at
Christopher's bookstore, the Garden Distry Bookstore, and that's where I
first saw it and bought it.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Actually it was the first event, and I can honestly
say I had one of the first radio shows about
it vic Lint and I had one of the first
interviews on Doctor Mary's monkey and this gets it's a
fascinating story that goes well beyond cancer research. I leave
it to another discussion. We have Jeffrey Holmes and talk
about that on the anniversary. But folks, so the President
came in and you know, he's been quite of quiet lately,
(07:09):
if you might notice, since he decided to drop out
of the race.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Christopher, he's been quiet for the past four years. Remember
when he hit in the basement and never showed up.
Come on, he's a very quiet person, Christopher.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I think by design, I'm gonna I'm gonna say he
took well.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
I give him credit. He had a press conference, which
is a heck more than Kamala Harris's head lately.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
So look, here's here's the we're saying on what's he
got to lose. He's gone and he's a goner.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
He's got about to start campaigning for Kamala Harris. And
one of the things that's happened in all of this, Yeah,
I will say I was, as some of you know,
I was on the Queen Elizabeth last week. We talked
about it on the radio show We were Alive from Alaska.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
And.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
It's kind of hard for me. So I try to
always be fair on these different things. But the only radio,
the only television shows besides the BBC, the news I
got was either Fox or or MSNBC. MSNBC ought to
be a paid advert of Harris Waltz campaign, and Fox
pretty much is the first advocacy of Trump advance. Here
(08:12):
in New Orleans, for example, the news station people ask
me what do you watch? And I watched Script's News
because I tend to find it's the most fair and
balanced of all of them. It's on forty nine point
four in your television doal. But the point I'm getting
at is I'm watching all of this in the tribalism
of this, and there's an interesting kind of subtext that's happening.
Both sides are talking past each other. And that's why
(08:36):
this conversation about the debates being scheduled is so important,
because this may be the only opportunity that we have
an audience that's not ideologically one way or another analyzing
the two candidates. It's expected the television debates in this
very close election could draw over fifty million people watching.
(08:56):
There haven't been those numbers in television debates since the eighties.
That shows you how close and tight. This presidential election is.
Right now, Harris has pretty much most of Trump's four
or five point advantages have erased. In most of the
swing states, He's running ted or behind. But what's interesting
about that is Waltz hasn't really helped Harris. He's rebolstered,
(09:22):
as we talked about last week, the kind of niceness factor,
the Minnesota nice the kind of positive factor, and that has.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Helped arrest the fall of.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Particularly African Americans, but other Democratic constituencies that were falling away.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
And it's kind of.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Titan states you expect to be pro Democratic Minnesota, of course, Wisconsin.
But what's fascinating to me is that Pennsylvania is still
literally every single poll it comes out almost exactly a
fifty to fifty split. Everything that actually benefits Trump. We're
going to be things because Trump tends to underpole a
(09:59):
little bit. But it tells me something I was a critic.
I talked about it last week about not picking Josh Shapiro,
the governor of Pennsylvania. Trump talked about it about he
thought it was a stupid thing that they picked Waltz.
Waltz does no damage. She doesn't rip aparthe does but
he's not as moderate because he's not as moderate as Shapiro. Shapiro,
(10:19):
of course is a support of Israel, and he supports
school vouchers. But what Shapiro gave them was Pennsylvania. And
there is no pathway for the Democratic Party to be
able to win this selection without Pennsylvania. And it's a
part of you know, I'm watching in Fox saying it's
had no impact in the race. That's not true. I'm
watching MSNBC. You'd think that Harris is twelve points ahead,
(10:41):
which is also equally not true. What is true now
is Arizona and Nevada, that were looking like they were
trending towards the Republicans are trending away. Carrie Lake is
legitimately ten points behind her in her for the open
Senate race to replace Kristen Semina. The Republicans are not
gonna win Arizona, They're probably not going to win, have
a much stronger candidate for the Senate. Nevada, they're not
(11:04):
going to win it. Arizona and Nevada are becoming very
much like California East, and so they're gone. However, even
if the Republicans don't win and they do win Georgia.
And I think I think a lot of this talk
that people have said that Georgia's in play, I don't
think it is as much. I think that was Georgia
was to this last election, what North Carolina had been,
the previous states that were teetering and kind of are
(11:26):
going around. It's all going to come down in Pennsylvania.
And if it comes down to Pennsylvania, the question is
does jd Vance advance them if you'll forgive the pun
more than Tim Waltz. And honestly, at this point, Vance
has had after two very bad press weeks, had a
pretty good press week. He actually looked pretty good. I
don't know if you saw him on the Sunday morning shows, Hi,
(11:48):
but he did all three of the shows. He actually
answered this whole question about you should you tax people
with children less? And he said, we do that already.
It's called the child tax credit. I want to raise
it to five thousand dollars and actually got Margaret Caulson
kind of silent, because, yeah, it was a Trump policy
that Biden embraced and expanded and they wanted to It's
(12:10):
kind of a bipartisan policy. The people who are most
critical of this concept are some on the right because
it's a refundable tax credit and theory you get more
money than you pay in. But honestly, it's one of
those issues that even the left can't argue. They were
saying this removed child poverty. So when Vance came out
and said that's what I mean, that's what I've been
talking about, you just have been misquoted me.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Even his critics were like, well, okay.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
That makes kind of sense, and they just literally they
didn't know what to say.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
It was kind of fun to watch.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
On the other hand, Waltz came out and he had
a really good speech in front of the Municipal and
Government Employees Union where he basically talked about his own record.
You know, I will say something, and I challenged high
and he did a wonderful job. A couple of weeks
ago when I asked him to say something nice about
Kamala Harris, well, let me defend both vice presidential candidates
(12:59):
on some and I want to get your perspective on it.
Having served in the military for thirty years, I think
both of these guys are being unfairly treated. And I'll
tell you why. I take this very personally they've been
they're both being swift voted. So Vance is a marine.
He served most of his time he served in Iraq.
He served in a military journalist role. Now, anyone who
(13:23):
knows anything about what it's like to be a journalist
in a war zone knows that this is even as
dangerous practically as going into combat.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
In fact, mostly it is, of course for hr.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
I worked with all the journalists when I was there
in Afghanistan in twenty ten. That was one of my
duties on my team. I was a lias on person
for journalists, for the embedded non military journalist and then
we had one Marine Corps journalist with us that, yeah,
which is what Advance was. That marine was more into
(13:59):
the combat that was going on than anybody on NEEW.
He was more exposed, he was more aggressive, and you know,
he was one of the dangerous things. Like a medic.
A medic doesn't have a lot of time to shoot
at the enemy because he's busy fixing up the wounded,
and so it makes him more vulnerable. And the same
thing with this journalist. I noticed he was scrambling around,
(14:19):
getting right in the middle, bullets flying everywhere. Believe me,
they're as brave as any any soldier carrying a gun
firing away. And by the way, vance is first in
the Marine Corps. You are first an infantry month and
you're fully trained for that work. And you do carry
a weapon, and you're armed and dangerous. Uh, You're you're
you're a lethal, a lethal marine. So he was definitely
(14:41):
in that role. The bullets were flying all around him.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
I don't sell him short at all for being a
journalist at often what I personally.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Saw, let me tell you it comes in.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I'm curious if he was in his journalists role, if
he was always carrying, he still was under fire, no
matter as much as any soldier. If you're an embed
or writing for Stars and Stripes, which is what he
was doing, you're going to be in a you're an
active combat role. I know all of this, folks, because
I volunteered to be an INMBED in two thousand and
three in Iraq. I didn't get picked up, but I
(15:11):
went through. You had to go through a long Pentagon process,
and one part of it was you go to basic training.
You go through effectively military training before they even let
you come near because you're in combat zones. You can't
just be somebody. You've got to be able to protect yourself.
And so I've read all this stuff on the left
and they're attacking Vance.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
It's not a real soldier. I'm like, are you people
out of your mind? Anybody who volunteers.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Of course, so that's a cheap shot. If any honest journalist,
if he had done his homework, would have never said
that about Vance. But of course you know they're trying
to take him down.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Well, and let me let me be flipped on the semicide.
And this is something and the reason why I feel
so strongly about this is this is something that happened
to my dad. And so for those that look at
Waltz's record, Walts was twenty four years in the Nebraska
Minnesota National Guards. He ended up as a command sergeant major. Now,
no wit, no correct, Let me explain his his colonel was.
(16:05):
His colonel was interviewed, So let me explain what happened.
His actual colonel he went through and he said this
whole thing that has been on the right wing press,
that he really wasn't that he was a master sergety.
He was halfway through the program. Now let me finish high, please,
because I I just defended. I want you to listen
to his own colonel came out and said, here's what happened.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
He was halfway through the.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Program and he was up for a time. He was
in for twenty four years. He wanted to run for Congress.
He had a conversation. It was this, by the way,
was eight months before deployment orders came. They had no
idea they were going to Iraq. His colonel said it.
No one knew that at the time. He came in
(16:46):
and he said, I want to run for Congress. I
you know, and he says, I don't think it's honorable
for me to be in the military and run for Congress.
And he and he actually said, I'm a critic of
the Iraq War, which, by the way, so was Donald
Trump at the time. Nothing specially both of them were opposition.
He retired. His retirement papers say command sergeant major and
(17:07):
that was his pension level set. So what happened was
retroactively when after he gets out of retirement, he had
not finished the command sergeant major course because he ran
for Congress. The criticism that has hit Waltz in all
of this time was twofold one. He calls himself a
command sergeant major. It's not really that because he didn't
finish the course. Walts very much talks about that in
(17:30):
his CRISI that he left the course. He talks about
in his congressional race. But the second part that's really important,
This is where I'm really bitter about. This is if
you read in the press, you make it. It makes
it sound like he found out they were going to
rack and he resigned. He didn't want to go to combat.
It was eight months and it is. It is very true.
And if you better site, because I'm talking about his
(17:52):
colonels at it. My father left the third Armored Cavalry Regiment,
Second Army in Germany, and he left. He had no
idea and he was the battalion staff sergeant, so he
knew everything that went on and in it. He wasn't
the sergeant major, but he was the guy basically ran
the desk for the colonel who was the colonels assistant
colonel secretary, if you want it, he knew what the
(18:14):
units deployment orders were. He actually typed the deployment orders.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
He goes in, he and.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
His colonel are talking. His colonel wants him to re up.
He actually wants him to go, and it's a long
involved story. He wants him to stay in the military.
He says, you know, I've done my four I want
to go home. I appreciate it. We're going to be
in Germany for a while. And that's what everyone thought
they were in Germany. This is nineteen sixty four, the
Vietnam War. This is nineteen sixty seven. The Vietnam War
(18:42):
is heavily on. But they're an armor unit. An armor
in the jungle doesn't seem logical, so he goes home.
Three weeks after he gets home, his unit is decamped
to Vietnam. A lot of his friends die in Vietnam.
The point I'm getting at is for those that say
it's so close that us, I'm going to tell you
that's not how it works.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Folks. This is so wrong in what you're saying. You've
got it wrong. Okay, Every National Guard and reserve unit
knew for certain that they were going to either Rock
or Afghanistan. We all knew that for sure. He knew that.
In four He was certain of that. Everybody was in
the military, every National Guard reserve unit was deployed. He
(19:24):
knew at any day they could get those deployment orders.
So you can't say he didn't know they were going.
He knew they were going. Okay, so let let me
let CHRISTOPHERT listen. Okay, No, you don't get your didn't
the Raging Bull order hadn't come through yet, right, the
warning order hadn't come through yet. But no, but no,
(19:44):
but they knew that it was coming. Okay, they all
knew it was coming. When maybe in a month, maybe
in a year, maybe in six nobody really knew, but
they knew it was imminent. He was facing that. We
were all facing that. In fact, during the Gulf War, Uh,
we were. We were told we were going to go,
because then they delayed us like for six us eight
(20:06):
months or something and made us wait. And I'll never
forget that first night a drill. This is how serious
this stuff is. We had a young guy with us.
I'll never forget that night, and he was uh in college,
and uh, you know, we were, we were we were
showing how how dangerous and serious it was going to be,
very serious, very dangerous, just like the Iraq in Afghanistan.
(20:30):
And so when it was after that that night we
went to eat and were sitting around the table and
this guy starts crying. He's a young guy. He starts crying.
He says, I didn't join the army to go to war.
I don't want to die. Well, you know, we were
all thinking about that. I really want to go die
right now. That's how imminent is. And I guarantee you
(20:52):
every National Guard Reserve US at that time was thinking that.
It was all in our minds. So you cannot say
that for no sense of Oh, I mean, I'll never
be in harms way, I'm safe if I retire now,
it's not gonna know. And the man, look, I don't
think he ever wore a sergeant majors stripes. I don't
think he did. However he was he was. He was like,
they don't brevet anymore, but it's like being breveted. He
(21:14):
was put in the position to be the sergeant major
of that unit, and he carried out that role. He
was still in an E eight. He was in. He
have to complete the school, the sergeant major school. And
let me tell you something. There may be no greater
honor than to put on sergeant major stripes or first
sergeant stripes. It is considered to be one of the
great And I said this on the last show Colonels
(21:36):
and generals in their retirement, when they talk about their
military time among themselves, not with the public, but among themselves,
almost ninety percent of the thing is all about this
sergeant Majors and the first Argiants, because they made them
what they were. That's how important that role is. Christopher,
if I had ever gotten into Sergeant Major school, I
would have seen it as one of the greatest honors.
And I guarantee you I would have completed that school
(21:56):
unless you know, I had some major injury or something,
but that nothing would. Wild horses couldn't pull me out
of this school, even if I knew I was being deployed.
That that's what's going on in every student, every cadet,
every person in that starting made to school. They're all
very honored, and I guarantee you nothing's going to get
them out of that school. He deliberately pulled himself out
(22:18):
because he saw the danger they were in. And this
is everybody I've talked to, and it's very fair, it's extreme.
It's I don't care what his colonel.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Said, why don't you here with the first.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Maybe because he wants to be in good stead with
the vice president of they win. Maybe you know, let
me tell you something. The high ranking officers can be
the most political people you'll ever meet in your life.
I know. I saw it's and that's a real problem
with the military, a big time problem. And when you
become a congressman, you know what you know what general
state of congressman? Yes, sir? How high do I jump? Sir?
That's how powerful that role is. He was going into
(22:51):
that role, so they all knew, don't mess with him.
Just let him retire. He retires an eight. Forget the guy.
He's a bomb. He betrayed us, and the men knew it.
His men. I guarantee every man in that unit knew
that that man had let them down, he had betrayed them.
They will. You can't imagine how that the soldiers and
the Marines and whatever airmen, sailors, how they look up
(23:12):
to that rank. It is critically important to them. And
to see that that guy tuxtail and runs that that
that was very demoralizing to those troops. Christopher, what he
did was wrong. And why is it that all the
sergeant majors, the Association of all Sergeant Majors have come
out with a very strong statement about what I just said,
his dereliction of duty. His coward is on a firelough,
He's never on a fire. That's the other thing he's
(23:33):
been around claiming I carried to go to Combine. He
made all these false claims. It's called stole, stolen, it's
it is, It's yes, he did. I saw, I heard
the statements he made, and I read them. Christopher.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Look what I'm getting at is, first of all, I'd
love to see the sources. Every single source has been debunped.
Every single has been debunked. Second, when it comes down,
when it comes down to this statement, what every all
these different points in the right are making or coming
out and saying he knew that he knew they had
deployment orders. I mean literally, I've read it like that,
(24:07):
and you and I both know that's not.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Why I have said that, because you've never seen.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
You never said that. And I'm giving credit.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
You heard what I know. Folks, you heard.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Me defend JD vance when the efiden it's really.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
In combat with the bullets flying, of course.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
But here's the point I'm getting at. Any person who
puts on a uniform for twenty four years and is
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Hi is no, no, no, no. You talked for a while.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
The point is he went in and decided to retire
because he thought it was a conflict of interest to
be in the military and run for Congress.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
And I'm sorry. That is a legitimate, honorable choice that
most people cherish.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
And i'm this bs that you're going to finish sergeant
major school as if it's the end.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
All be all of the world is insane.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
Compared to being a congressman.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Chris. First of all, he didn't even know he's gonna win.
But secondly, many congress might have done that. They have
maintaining their military status and run for office. That's nothing hippocrit,
nothing hypocritical about being in the military and also being
having a political office. There's nothing wrong.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
With that political roles. You both know, right, So in the.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Ranks you can't campaign, that's true, but you can still
hold political office, Chris. For too many many, No, it's
not no, it's not No. Gabbard, it wasn't wrong. It's
not wrong for her. No. There are many great people
in the military and in Congress, and they're both. You
can do both. You just in the military folks. You
can't get politically, you can't campaign, you can't promote your
(25:29):
political position in the military, but when you walk out
on the streets you can totally legal. Totally Okay. Now,
one thing I want to say, just because a man
had a military career does not make him a hero.
I am sorry, it does not. You said twenty four years, Christopher,
let me finish, all right, nothing, I'm sell an example.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
I'm gonna be wearing a uniform for twenty four years.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
I didn't say that was signor I've never said that.
I said. I said. The fact that I said, the
fact that he went into the Sergeant Major's school showed
that he was a man that had potential in the
military and he had worked hard to get to that.
That's all very honorable. I'm not against that. What I'm
against is the fact that when he has a chance
to prove his salt, he tucktail and ran. Now, now
(26:09):
I'm gonna tell you what one of the greatest war
heroes America has ever had become became one of America's
greatest traders. And I'm talking about Benedict Arnold. And we
all know the story in that No, Benning Donald was
one of the greatest. And Bennerdon Donald was a combat veteran,
but he betrayed his country.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Nothing to do Wels never Walsh never carried It's ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Walsh never carried a gun in combat. He never fired
a gun in combat. Benny Donald literally was a great
war hero. He won some of our greatest battles and
he suffered combat injuries and everything. So he was a
real hero until he betrayed America. So just because you're
a hero and fan, I mean, Wals is no hero.
I'm sorry. Going to training and doing that's really good,
(26:56):
but doesn't make your hero. Okay, that stuff doesn't start
to You're an action. The man never made, never made it.
So for him to run around claiming that he's a
war hero carried a gun and common yes, Sea he
said he carried a gun in combat. He said a
gun carried in comback like I carrod in comback should
never be allowed on the streets of Americas. He's also
wants to take all our guns away. So Christopher, let's go.
We got to move on. He's gotten late.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
We got to take a break because I do want
to address the financial side when we come back in
but we're gonna also talk about Lulu the Most at
Home and talk about the space It came up in
the Elon Musk interview of Donald Trump, and actually this
going to Mars and this future of the space race
has a direct impact on Louisiana, particularly the Meshu facility

constitutes enough money to run for vice president. All this

again this is chaplainhih mcchnry.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
With Christopher tad Moore and we've got a lot more
to talk about. I actually want to make an observation
on the ads. You know, most people don't realize this,
but did you know the New Orleans Opera actually they
have a dress rehearsal on Wednesdays before their major opera.
So if Toasca is on the twenty six, they'd be
the twenty fourth. Did you know that school kids and
(32:33):
kids can go for free they have to go with
their teacher, So like you could bring all of your
lamb kids to the opera for the low price of free.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Some of our greatest musicians, rock stars whatever, they got
their start and opera because it trains your voice like
nothing ever will.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
It's amazing, and many of our great musicians that we
think of actually started operas. But what I really love
is the fact that any school kid in town can
go for free on their dress rehearsal. And I encourage
people to call the New Orleans Opera, going to New
Orleans oper Association dot com and find out teachers, particularly
about taking their classes, because this is one I mean,
this is the lower price of free, free parking, free everything. Yeah,
(33:08):
I mean, come on, this is something at the mid
hay Jackson there. But speaking of people that have, you know,
not as much money. There's another criticism of Tim Walltz
that thought is a little unfair, and it's the fact
that he's middle class. He was a high school coach, teacher,
served in the military. He ended up all he put
his kids through school, his college, he ended up all
(33:31):
his only asset he had was his house, which wasn't
just a standard house. He sold that when he went
to the Governor's mansion. His entire net worth one hundred
and twelve thousand, and he's attacked by Jesse Walters and
Fox as he hasn't invested in America because he doesn't
own stocks and bonds, and that just makes him, like
most of us, ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Chris is right. You're right. He's middle class, every day
average American.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
That's proven now, and there should be nothing wrong with
the fact that you run for office because you're not rich.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
I mean that this is this you.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Don't invest in the stockmorm maybe because she's smart.
Speaker 6 (34:00):
In Van Nance who started off we called, you know,
to start Poores, is worth ten million dollars and he
was a stock I mean, he was obviously a security
broker and he made four of that from Hillbilly Allergy
to his book and the movie subsequently.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
But the point I'm.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Getting at is it was the weirdest criticism I ever
heard that the guy who just because his net worth
was less than three hundred thousand dollars, it was basically
the sale of his house when he moved the governor's mansion,
and he's if he becomes vice president, he gets a
fifty percent pay bump from where he is as governor,
which you know, it's this is this is a little.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Bit get that great retirement. So Christopher, by the way
that he has he made money in since he's been
in office, that's the big question.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
He's actually that's the interesting part. Everybody I've ever seen
an office, Republican or Democrat, makes all these securities and
books deals. He's been He's been a three term governor,
and you can make a lot of deals as a
governor in any states. He is worth less than he
was when he went in.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Well, you know what our anthemous gury and Governor Huey
Long would have called him stupid.
Speaker 6 (34:56):
Maybe, but at least he's you know, I hate a
lot of things about it.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Walt's the financially dishonest.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
I hope would you tell him is the truth? I've
just improved my evaluation of him as the mission.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
Is actually the truth. This is the criticism that he
didn't make any money.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
I mean, come on, but I actually speaking of people
who made a lot of money, and we're talking about
of course Elon Musk and Donald Trump. They got together
on X earlier this week and had a big what
could politely be called a bromance. But it was actually
interesting interview.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
And Christopher it set records, as you know.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
And it was good for X particularly.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
But what was interesting to me about it was, obviously,
this is Elon Musk. He's talking about the space program.
He's going to be talking and he and Trump and
this is not new for Trump. For those in the
left here are like I he's getting on. Trump went
into office saying, looking at the NASA administrator and saying,
I want to be on Mars in eight years.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
How do we do it?
Speaker 2 (35:46):
NASA administrator said no, He looks at Elon Musk and says,
how do we get on Mars in four years?
Speaker 4 (35:50):
And must It's like, here's how we do it.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
It's going to take an on godly amount of money,
but we can do it. The point I'm getting at
in all of this is what Trump and Musk's relationship
hated as much. It's going to supercharge the space program
for everybody except for Boeing. Now, if you've looked at
the other side of what's been happening, is the Starliner
vessel that's been in orbit to take the astronauts home.
(36:13):
It's still there, and the astronauts who are supposed to
be up there for two weeks of the International Space
Station are now there for six seven, eight weeks and
what's ironic, and they can come home. They're not trapped.
There is there's a Russian Suoya's escape capsule. It's you know,
that's there. So there's perfectly safe. There's they're not in
any danger. But it's been this incredible embarrassment for Boeing.
(36:35):
And guess where Starliner was built. The Mishu facility in
large portion here in Louisiana. And so it's gone to
the point where and Boeing received four times the amount
of money as SpaceX did to make the same product.
But they have a different philosophy of how they do rockets.
(36:57):
So the way Elon Musk and his people at SpaceX
stew rockets is very simple. Let it blow up on
the launch pad, let it fail, let it fail, let
it fail, let it fail until we figure out how
to make it work. And if one blows up, you
don't have one hundred review committees. You have the rocket
up there the next month to go up or at
least find out what's wrong. It's a much more it's
(37:19):
a much more dangerous way to do it, but it's
also a much more productive way. You want to move
in the space program, you have to have failure. You
got to learn from your oiliers. Boeing is a culture
that's based on very much like government culture. Never fail.
Go through so many security and safety things that you
never fail. Make sure you never fail, make sure you
(37:39):
never have a negative rus, make sure you never have
an explosion in the distortion, make sure you never hail.
And you know what happens you fail, which is what's
happened with Starliner and Orbit. And because of this philosophy,
it is entirely possible that Meshu, where most of this
was built, could be shut down completely. I'm not saying
that lightly, Folks. You're like, oh, he's being Boeing is
(38:01):
seriously talking about it's been such an embarrassment of getting
out of the space business seating at all. To Musk,
that's not actually good for America. We need more than
one space provider. It it's not good to have a monopoly.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Do you think maybe Musk would then moved to Meeschoe
move some of his operations to Misoe. Meschue Folks has
built every rocket that's ever been to the Moon. It's
one of the most remarkable facilities. If you ever get
a chance, it's free. You can go out there and
get a tour. You will see the largest building under
one roof, one floor in the world right out there
at Meschue. Was built in World War two by Higgins
(38:35):
for you know, when he was doing the Higgins Boast.
But he built it to build another spruce goose like
Hughes did a wooden plane, and then they didn't use it,
but the facility was still there, and eventually the Space
program took it.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
Over well, and there was a facility there.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
They actually what is currently Meshue they built from scratch
in the sixties.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
It was it was on top of the same propert No.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
No, they built other large buildings there, but that odginal
wooden building is still there.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
The current Mechoue facility. I'm not disagreeing with what you're saying.
The current Mahoe facility is the largest facility with under
one roof without any obstruction because it was for they
have the full Saturn five rocket in the sixties.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
You have to you need a car to get around
in the buildings. It's like it occupies like seven acres.
It's remarkable and it's no walls. It's all one solid
under one very tall roof. It's like like thirty forty
feet high. But it's really an amazing experience. It's open
to the public now. They have a lot of other
buildings out there, and the movie industry went out there
and occupied a lot of them for a while as
(39:33):
studio buildings. But it's back to building rockets again, and
that would be what another It would almost take any
more strategies, of course.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
And this is this was an unnecessary one because frankly,
if you would just allowed the engineers to do their
job and occasionally, you know, find out if something doesn't work,
not protect their you know, have to if they get fired,
if anything failed, we'd still have me shoe. No musk
is not moving to me shoe. And it's not any
thing attitudinal. He has built such a huge facility in Brownsville,
(40:04):
Texas where by the way, he can launch the rockets
right down the street from where he builds them, which
is a little bit more efficient than shipping them all
the way to Cape Canaveral. This is only the federal
government would come up with his stupidity. We could have
just as easily launched rockets for Louisiana over the Gulf
of Mexico.
Speaker 4 (40:19):
It's idiot, Christopher.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
We we have all those all rigs that aren't being
used that are great platforms to launch rockets. And he's
even doing that right just right off a Mischue musket
is right. Yeah, And so that he would have the
same opportunity here. He would because he's got the testing
facility right down and buy you the you know, the canal.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
He doesn't need the Stennis facility. I understand what you're getting. Basically,
the result of Boeing's corporate culture is going to put
a thousand people out of work and in Louisiana in
the space industry unless something massive happens soon. And look,
this is bad for the country because as for all
this group's Boeing had having one space provider, love or
(40:58):
hate mar Elon Musk, He's done incredible thing in space,
but having one company that you're dependent upon is never
a good idea, no matter operly.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
And then it is to be competition to keep both
of them on the heels exactly.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
And so that's that came up a lot in the
speech that this topic did not, but it should have
because it's gonna affect us.
Speaker 4 (41:14):
So much in Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
On that note, folks, we're going to take our final
break and go into the patriotic moment after these important messages. Folks,
do you want passion, intrigue, even a little bit of
a murder? Well, yes, a perfect evening at an affordable price,
and you could almost transfer to Italy itself. That's Puccini's Tosca,
(41:36):
a production of the New Orleans Opera Association on September
twenty seventh at seven thirty pm and September twenty ninth
at two thirty pm.
Speaker 4 (41:43):
It is a perfect.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Opportunity at an affordable price forty dollars for the tickets to
be able to sit near the front of the Maheia
Jackson Theater and see one of the classic operas with
fame stars here in New Orleans. It's a great gift
that we've had celebrating the one hundred and sixty fifth
anniversary of the opening the French Opera House this fall
and over two hundred and twenty eight years of Opera
(42:04):
New Orleans. If you want to get tickets, you can
always go to the New Orleans Opera Association dot com.
That's New Orleans Opsociation dot com or call the box
office at five oh four five to nine three thousand.
That's five o four five to nine three thousand.
Speaker 5 (42:19):
Rescuing, recovery, re engagement. These are not just words. These
are the action steps we at the New Orleans Mission
take to make a positive impact on the homeless problem
facing the greater New Orleans area. Did you know in
twenty twenty, homelessness in our community increased by over forty percent.
(42:41):
We are committed to meet this need through the work
being done at the New Orleans Mission. We begin the
rescue process by.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
Back and this is the Founder's show, and I am
Chaplain High mcchinry. You'r been Gary, Bye bye all the Republic,
and it's now time for us to go into our chaplain.
Bye bye. Patriotic moment. We just take a brief moment
to remind you of the biblical foundations of our country,
our Judeo Christian jurisprudence. And today I like to talk
about none other than George Washington because we are in
(44:22):
a presidential election. It's this time of the of the year,
of the of this period in our history, a very
important presidential election. I think I'm going to start all
of my patriotic moments going to deal with presidents or
vice presidents and what they said and what they thought
about our biblical foundations, And what better one than George Washington,
(44:43):
our first president. Well, this was his prayer. He said,
Almighty God, we make our earnest prayer that thou will
keep the United States in thy holy protection, That thou
willt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a
spirit of subordination and obedience to government, and entertain a
brotherly affection and love for one another and for their
(45:04):
fellow citizens of the United States at large. And finally,
that thou willt most graciously be pleased to dispose us
all to do justice, to love, mercy, and to demean
ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind,
which were the characteristics of the divine author of our
blessed religion. And without a humble imitation of whose example
(45:25):
in these things, we can never hope to be a
happy nation. Grant our supplication. We beseech THEE through Jesus Christ,
our Lord. Amen. Now this was his prayer. I think
you believe we needed God in government, folks, quite clear,
quite quite extreme, let's say. I mean that was done
(45:46):
with a great explanation mark about how important it is
that of God in government. You know, when they laid
the Washington Monument in July, actually July the fourth, eighteen
forty eight, they deposited with it and it were many things,
including a Holy Bible presented by the Bible Society, and
they wrote on a laosdale that meant praise be to God.
(46:09):
Such was the discipline and the moral direction and the
spiritual mood given by the founder and the president of
our unique democracy, one nation under God, in God we trust, folks.
I really think that George Washington was all about making
sure we didn't forget God in government. Well what about you?
(46:31):
Have you forgotten God in you? So it's now time
for us to go into our chaplain by by gospel
moment where I can show you how that you can
know that you know that you know that you're a
God's child, that you really are a Christian, that when
you die, you are going to Heaven and you're saved
from a burning hell. Folks, there's nothing more important in
our lives than this. This is for all eternity. I mean,
(46:51):
I don't care what goes on in this life now
and what you do and everything, and bottom line, the
end of it all is about heaven and eternal life
versus eternal damnation, where you will have the existence of
a zombie. You will have no life, but you will exist.
You will have a memory, you will have thoughts, you
(47:12):
will feel pain, you will understand, you will have understanding
of your You'll be totally cognizant. You won't be like,
you know, like Biden, who's cognizantly greatly impaired. No, you'll
you'll have clear thinking and know who you are and
where you are, and you'll be like that forever in
a burning hell. You don't want that, folks. God didn't
(47:32):
want you to go there. In fact, the Bisle says
God didn't make hell for you. God made hell for devils,
for sin, for death. But there's a very sad scripture
that says hell as being enlarged. See God originally made
it just for those terrible things, but he's now having
to make it bigger because people live their entire lives
rejecting him, totally spurning his love, despising his love to
(47:55):
the very end of their lives with then the only
thing left is to go where God is not. It's
called hell. God didn't want you to go there, you know.
The scripture says for it says, for we have been saved.
That means going to heaven. We've been saved by grace.
That word grace means free gift. We've been saved by
grace through faith. Faith is how you take a gift,
(48:16):
a spiritual gift. You can't grab it with your hand,
of course, you can't, you know, sign a document that
says it's yours. No, But what you can do is
you can believe in your heart that Christ is the
only way. If all says believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved, that whosoever believeth in Him,
meaning Jesus. So let's say it again. We've been saved
(48:38):
by grace through faith. And even that is not of ourselves.
Even our faith didn't come from us. Folks, we're not
that good. But the scriptures God gives a measure of
faith to all people, the word of faith that's gone
to all people. And the scripture says, the grace of God,
which bringing salvation, hath gone to everyone. So we all
get God's grace and faith. But what do we do
with it? That's the key thing. You take your faith
(49:01):
that God gives you and place it in him for
your eternal life to know His love and experience it,
which is beyond anything known and can be explained it.
It's so magnificent. God really loves you, folks. If in fact,
the scripture says he's long suffering, He waits a long
long time for you because He.
Speaker 4 (49:19):
Really loves you.
Speaker 3 (49:20):
That's what love is. It's that strong, is that great.
So if we have been saved by grace, free gift
through faith, that's how you take it. Through faith, And
even that is none of ourselves, which it's not that
smart and good. That's okay. God is for us, we've
been saying, through faith, and even that is not of ourselves.
It is a gift of God, not of works. Lest
any man should both. Let me explain to you what
(49:41):
that means is all of your good works will never
get you to heaven. I don't care how good you are,
because the scripture says all of your rights are as
filthy ranks. So give up, forget it. And the moment
you do, you just repented. Jesus kept saying repent, and
believe repentance is part of your faith. Your faith is
a two sided coin. One side is repentance. That's a
first start heart right there. That means you believe you
(50:01):
really are that messed up, you really are that lost,
You really are damned and going to hell with no hope,
no hope, no way to get out of it. When
you come to that point, you just repented, and now
you're free to put faith alone, in Christ alone. It
is so important, folks, you have to believe with all
of your heart. You can't believe. Well, Jesus did so much,
But then I got to do this too. I gotta
do these special prayers. I got to turn for my sins.
(50:24):
I gotta clean up my life. I gotta do this. No,
none of that works. In fact, that only damns your
soul to hell. So give it up, forget it. You'll
never make it to Heaven that way. So, folks, now
you know the gospel that Jesus died for all of
your sins, was buried and rose from the dead, and
by a simple childlike faith in this great message, you
can know for sure you're say from a burning hell
(50:44):
and you're guaranteed heaven. If you've never ever done this before,
please do it now. Don't wait till it's too late,
like the old country preacher said, and the scripture says,
now today is a day of salvation. Well, now I
want to tell you our final thing before we go,
and that's today We're going to do the watch the
testimony time where I just take a person that lived
(51:05):
in a pharma, living now or in the from the
past and their story. And today I want to talk
about Mary Slessor. Mary Slester goes down as one of
the greatest missionaries in the history of missions. She's a
little old Scottish gowl who grew up in the slums,
kind of like J. D. Vance, a poor gal. Her
father was a terrible drunk. She she had a horrible,
(51:27):
tragic life and one day an old lady kept telling her,
You're going to hell if you don't turn to Christ.
And all she could think of was, I'm already living
in hell. What do you mean? And I don't have
to be in hell forever. That got her attention, and
she began to think and see the claims of Christ
and that he would save her, and she believed was
born again and ended up becoming one of the greatest
missionaries in the history of missions. She went by herself
(51:48):
to a place that was known as a graveyard of Europeans. Calibar,
near Camroon. Calibar was the land of cannibals and mosquitoes.
The cannibals did each of the mosquitos dead. You died
in malaria. Very few Europeans survived Calibar. She went right
into the middle of it. She went to work. Immediately.
(52:09):
She became one of the greatest people among the tribal
people of that land. These were big, giant, powerful men.
They always were fight, tribal people, always living at war.
She would go in the middle of the wars, raise
their hands and say stopping the name of Jess and
they'd stopped fighting. She had that kind of influence upon it.
She was so influential that the British government made her
the Vice Council because they couldn't handle these people, but
(52:31):
she could. There's statues to her. She started a great
movement to save the little babies. They would kill and
there's a lot of human sacrifices. And if they had twins,
they had a lot of twins, then they would kill
one of the babies. She stopped it. I mean, this
woman was just remarkable. She fought leopards, she fought hippopotamus,
She fought crocodiles. This woman was amazing and she lived
(52:53):
to an old age. She is really one of the
most remarkable people I've ever studied. In missions, she had
one of the most powerful testimonies I've ever heard of. So, folks,
you want to study, look up Mary Slessor. It is dynamic,
It will inspire you, it will encourage a little short, redheaded,
freckle face Scottish gal who taught all of us what
(53:14):
real courage and Christian's Christian faith is. Checker out, folks,
well it is time for us to go now as
we close to the mind, Saint Martin singing a Creole
goodbye and God bless all out there.
Speaker 1 (53:31):
They call you cREL goodbye. They think we're just wasted time.
All three sibl me there is time for a Creo
(53:55):
good bye.
Battles. The politicians addressed the digital datas and magicians whos
to see the money they did don't There's nothing to
fill the holes while they're filling their pockets. That holes
the politicians mountain down the road. Every body's for no moment,
(00:26):
corruption and its function. It's gone to take divine is off.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
President Biden visits New Orleans and makes a major cancer
donation at the same time that both of his the
vice presidential candidates, are being criticized on their military records
and how much money should one have when they enter
federal office? Is it okay to just be middle class?
Conversations about the space program came up with Elon musk
(00:56):
on X and there was a real feel for it
at the Mishue facility here in New Orleans, which is
going to see some layoffs amidst the Starliner circling still
in orbit.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
And God bless all out there. You are now listening
to the founders, show the voice to the founding fathers,
your founding fathers coming to you deep within the bowels
of those mystic and cryptic alligator swamps of the Big Easy,
that old Crescent City, New Orleans, Louisiana and high up
on top of that old Liberty Cypress tree draped in
(01:29):
Spanish moss. Way out on the Eagles Branch is none
other then you spend Gary Bubbay all the Republic Chaplain
Hi mcgenry.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Who with Christopher Tidmore, you roving reporter, resident radical moderate
and associate editor of the Louisiana Weekly newspaper at Louisiana
Weekly dot net and President Biden. First Lady Joe Biden
came to Tulane University to to meet with cancer researcher
Jay Quincy Brown and explain a cancer reaching you know,
(01:59):
cancer cue invention for part of the President's cancer moonshot.
When they flew into Louisiana, it was a who's who
of the Louisiana Democratic Party. Former Governor John Bell Edwards
greeted him, along with former Mayor Mitch Landrew, who, of
course as national co chair of the Biden camp. It
was of the Biden campaign along with Cedric Richmond. His sister,
(02:19):
Senator Mary Landrew was there. Former Senator John Brow, Mayor
LaToya Cantrell, Council President Helena Moreno City Council VP JP Morell,
Congressman Troy Carter. So you get the basically every Democrat
is a Democrat on a national level.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Came and made it.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
And what was interesting about when Biden came in was
most people don't realize here his daughter, Andrea went to Tulane.
She graduated in two thousand and four with a degree
of anthropology. She was actually there at the same time
my wife was. They were technically she was actually a
year ahead of her, but they were basically classmates, knew
each other, and it was in What was fascinating is
(02:57):
the week that Biden came in. You know, for all
the partisanship, we can relate to one thing as parents,
for those of us, for those of you I don't
have any kids, but those of you that have had
children starting college, you know, the most traumatic week of
the entire college year is when you, as a parent,
got to.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Move them into their dorms.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
And I still hear my father in law talking about
trying to move my wife up the stairs, four flights
of stairs because the elves weren't working, and the same
building that his wife. Well, what's interesting is Biden and
my father in law passed each other in the halls
because at the very same time Joe Biden was moving
his daughter in two thousand and in two thousand and
(03:40):
two thousand and one up the stairs at Tulane University
to move her in carrying lugging stuff up the stairs,
and he says he was basically saying, you know, God,
I just get exhausted thinking about coming to Tulane and
so I love it. But he at the same time,
folks made a joke that we all make. You know,
it's like you get a pay raise when your kids
finish college. You're not paying for it. The question becomes, though,
(04:05):
Louisiana is a huge benefit for this, for whether you
think you love or hate Joe Biden, appreciate the fact
that he's directing one hundred million dollars essentially to tu
Lane University and to two Lane and LSU's joint cancer
research program, which is going to be massive for our
economy as well as for cancer research. They think they
figured out a way. This is exciting. Can we actually
(04:26):
start with some good news?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Please? Please, Chris fun the good news. We need it
all weekend. Get you know, the gospel is the definition
of the gospel is good news?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Well, I mean there is real thought that they could
figure they have figured out how to turn off the cell,
turn off the gene that makes cancer cells replicate. So
in other words, you don't cure cancer, but it becomes
a chronic condition that as long as you take the
medication you can live as long as anyone else, because
(04:55):
all a cancer cell is is a normal cells replication
going crazy. So they think they've figured it out. That's
what this cancer research is. And as a real promise
that cancer could literally stop metastasizing, we could actually have
survival rates of cancer for twenty or thirty years.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
And folks who causes it as a virus is a
cancer virus that gets into the cell and basically takes
command of the cell and then enlarges it so that
that virus can reproduce and live inside that cell. And
so the cell starts enlarging and going crazy and loses
its function. And that's basically why cancer is so dangerous.
But if they can figure out a way where that
(05:34):
cell can protect itself, I guess, or in some kind
of way stop an outside source from causing it.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
To literally in this case, there are quite a lot
of viral cancers.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Kai is quite correct. Not every cancer is a viral cancer.
That's part of the problem.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Because cancer is caused by multiple different factors, but this
in this case, in most cancer conditions not all. What
it would stop is the cell from replicating, so you'll
be able to focus an unusual replication.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
And of course we know all about cancer viruses here
in Nuance because we were one of the biggest cancer
research places, that's the US Public Health here where Judah
Varry Baker was the understudy for doctor Mary, doctor Mary Sherman,
who was one of the leading cancer specialists and experts
in the world. And we know the story about how
they were trying to study the cancer virus by hitting
(06:26):
it with electrons and subatomic particles in the collider over there.
And from that game, who knows what. There's lots of
interesting stories. If you're interested, you got to read the
book Doctor Mary's Monkey will tell you all about. In fact,
as far as I know, it was first introduced at
Christopher's bookstore, the Garden Distry Bookstore, and that's where I
first saw it and bought it.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Actually it was the first event, and I can honestly
say I had one of the first radio shows about
it vic Lint and I had one of the first
interviews on Doctor Mary's monkey and this gets it's a
fascinating story that goes well beyond cancer research. I leave
it to another discussion. We have Jeffrey Holmes and talk
about that on the anniversary. But folks, so the President
came in and you know, he's been quite of quiet lately,
(07:09):
if you might notice, since he decided to drop out
of the race.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Christopher, he's been quiet for the past four years. Remember
when he hit in the basement and never showed up.
Come on, he's a very quiet person, Christopher.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I think by design, I'm gonna I'm gonna say he
took well.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
I give him credit. He had a press conference, which
is a heck more than Kamala Harris's head lately.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
So look, here's here's the we're saying on what's he
got to lose. He's gone and he's a goner.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
He's got about to start campaigning for Kamala Harris. And
one of the things that's happened in all of this, Yeah,
I will say I was, as some of you know,
I was on the Queen Elizabeth last week. We talked
about it on the radio show We were Alive from Alaska.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
And.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
It's kind of hard for me. So I try to
always be fair on these different things. But the only radio,
the only television shows besides the BBC, the news I
got was either Fox or or MSNBC. MSNBC ought to
be a paid advert of Harris Waltz campaign, and Fox
pretty much is the first advocacy of Trump advance. Here
(08:12):
in New Orleans, for example, the news station people ask
me what do you watch? And I watched Script's News
because I tend to find it's the most fair and
balanced of all of them. It's on forty nine point
four in your television doal. But the point I'm getting
at is I'm watching all of this in the tribalism
of this, and there's an interesting kind of subtext that's happening.
Both sides are talking past each other. And that's why
(08:36):
this conversation about the debates being scheduled is so important,
because this may be the only opportunity that we have
an audience that's not ideologically one way or another analyzing
the two candidates. It's expected the television debates in this
very close election could draw over fifty million people watching.
(08:56):
There haven't been those numbers in television debates since the eighties.
That shows you how close and tight. This presidential election is.
Right now, Harris has pretty much most of Trump's four
or five point advantages have erased. In most of the
swing states, He's running ted or behind. But what's interesting
about that is Waltz hasn't really helped Harris. He's rebolstered,
(09:22):
as we talked about last week, the kind of niceness factor,
the Minnesota nice the kind of positive factor, and that has.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Helped arrest the fall of.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Particularly African Americans, but other Democratic constituencies that were falling away.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
And it's kind of.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Titan states you expect to be pro Democratic Minnesota, of course, Wisconsin.
But what's fascinating to me is that Pennsylvania is still
literally every single poll it comes out almost exactly a
fifty to fifty split. Everything that actually benefits Trump. We're
going to be things because Trump tends to underpole a
(09:59):
little bit. But it tells me something I was a critic.
I talked about it last week about not picking Josh Shapiro,
the governor of Pennsylvania. Trump talked about it about he
thought it was a stupid thing that they picked Waltz.
Waltz does no damage. She doesn't rip aparthe does but
he's not as moderate because he's not as moderate as Shapiro. Shapiro,
(10:19):
of course is a support of Israel, and he supports
school vouchers. But what Shapiro gave them was Pennsylvania. And
there is no pathway for the Democratic Party to be
able to win this selection without Pennsylvania. And it's a
part of you know, I'm watching in Fox saying it's
had no impact in the race. That's not true. I'm
watching MSNBC. You'd think that Harris is twelve points ahead,
(10:41):
which is also equally not true. What is true now
is Arizona and Nevada, that were looking like they were
trending towards the Republicans are trending away. Carrie Lake is
legitimately ten points behind her in her for the open
Senate race to replace Kristen Semina. The Republicans are not
gonna win Arizona, They're probably not going to win, have
a much stronger candidate for the Senate. Nevada, they're not
(11:04):
going to win it. Arizona and Nevada are becoming very
much like California East, and so they're gone. However, even
if the Republicans don't win and they do win Georgia.
And I think I think a lot of this talk
that people have said that Georgia's in play, I don't
think it is as much. I think that was Georgia
was to this last election, what North Carolina had been,
the previous states that were teetering and kind of are
(11:26):
going around. It's all going to come down in Pennsylvania.
And if it comes down to Pennsylvania, the question is
does jd Vance advance them if you'll forgive the pun
more than Tim Waltz. And honestly, at this point, Vance
has had after two very bad press weeks, had a
pretty good press week. He actually looked pretty good. I
don't know if you saw him on the Sunday morning shows, Hi,
(11:48):
but he did all three of the shows. He actually
answered this whole question about you should you tax people
with children less? And he said, we do that already.
It's called the child tax credit. I want to raise
it to five thousand dollars and actually got Margaret Caulson
kind of silent, because, yeah, it was a Trump policy
that Biden embraced and expanded and they wanted to It's
(12:10):
kind of a bipartisan policy. The people who are most
critical of this concept are some on the right because
it's a refundable tax credit and theory you get more
money than you pay in. But honestly, it's one of
those issues that even the left can't argue. They were
saying this removed child poverty. So when Vance came out
and said that's what I mean, that's what I've been
talking about, you just have been misquoted me.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Even his critics were like, well, okay.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
That makes kind of sense, and they just literally they
didn't know what to say.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
It was kind of fun to watch.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
On the other hand, Waltz came out and he had
a really good speech in front of the Municipal and
Government Employees Union where he basically talked about his own record.
You know, I will say something, and I challenged high
and he did a wonderful job. A couple of weeks
ago when I asked him to say something nice about
Kamala Harris, well, let me defend both vice presidential candidates
(12:59):
on some and I want to get your perspective on it.
Having served in the military for thirty years, I think
both of these guys are being unfairly treated. And I'll
tell you why. I take this very personally they've been
they're both being swift voted. So Vance is a marine.
He served most of his time he served in Iraq.
He served in a military journalist role. Now, anyone who
(13:23):
knows anything about what it's like to be a journalist
in a war zone knows that this is even as
dangerous practically as going into combat.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
In fact, mostly it is, of course for hr.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
I worked with all the journalists when I was there
in Afghanistan in twenty ten. That was one of my
duties on my team. I was a lias on person
for journalists, for the embedded non military journalist and then
we had one Marine Corps journalist with us that, yeah,
which is what Advance was. That marine was more into
(13:59):
the combat that was going on than anybody on NEEW.
He was more exposed, he was more aggressive, and you know,
he was one of the dangerous things. Like a medic.
A medic doesn't have a lot of time to shoot
at the enemy because he's busy fixing up the wounded,
and so it makes him more vulnerable. And the same
thing with this journalist. I noticed he was scrambling around,
(14:19):
getting right in the middle, bullets flying everywhere. Believe me,
they're as brave as any any soldier carrying a gun
firing away. And by the way, vance is first in
the Marine Corps. You are first an infantry month and
you're fully trained for that work. And you do carry
a weapon, and you're armed and dangerous. Uh, You're you're
you're a lethal, a lethal marine. So he was definitely
(14:41):
in that role. The bullets were flying all around him.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
I don't sell him short at all for being a
journalist at often what I personally.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Saw, let me tell you it comes in.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I'm curious if he was in his journalists role, if
he was always carrying, he still was under fire, no
matter as much as any soldier. If you're an embed
or writing for Stars and Stripes, which is what he
was doing, you're going to be in a you're an
active combat role. I know all of this, folks, because
I volunteered to be an INMBED in two thousand and
three in Iraq. I didn't get picked up, but I
(15:11):
went through. You had to go through a long Pentagon process,
and one part of it was you go to basic training.
You go through effectively military training before they even let
you come near because you're in combat zones. You can't
just be somebody. You've got to be able to protect yourself.
And so I've read all this stuff on the left
and they're attacking Vance.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
It's not a real soldier. I'm like, are you people
out of your mind? Anybody who volunteers.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Of course, so that's a cheap shot. If any honest journalist,
if he had done his homework, would have never said
that about Vance. But of course you know they're trying
to take him down.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Well, and let me let me be flipped on the semicide.
And this is something and the reason why I feel
so strongly about this is this is something that happened
to my dad. And so for those that look at
Waltz's record, Walts was twenty four years in the Nebraska
Minnesota National Guards. He ended up as a command sergeant major. Now,
no wit, no correct, Let me explain his his colonel was.
(16:05):
His colonel was interviewed, So let me explain what happened.
His actual colonel he went through and he said this
whole thing that has been on the right wing press,
that he really wasn't that he was a master sergety.
He was halfway through the program. Now let me finish high, please,
because I I just defended. I want you to listen
to his own colonel came out and said, here's what happened.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
He was halfway through the.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Program and he was up for a time. He was
in for twenty four years. He wanted to run for Congress.
He had a conversation. It was this, by the way,
was eight months before deployment orders came. They had no
idea they were going to Iraq. His colonel said it.
No one knew that at the time. He came in
(16:46):
and he said, I want to run for Congress. I
you know, and he says, I don't think it's honorable
for me to be in the military and run for Congress.
And he and he actually said, I'm a critic of
the Iraq War, which, by the way, so was Donald
Trump at the time. Nothing specially both of them were opposition.
He retired. His retirement papers say command sergeant major and
(17:07):
that was his pension level set. So what happened was
retroactively when after he gets out of retirement, he had
not finished the command sergeant major course because he ran
for Congress. The criticism that has hit Waltz in all
of this time was twofold one. He calls himself a
command sergeant major. It's not really that because he didn't
finish the course. Walts very much talks about that in
(17:30):
his CRISI that he left the course. He talks about
in his congressional race. But the second part that's really important,
This is where I'm really bitter about. This is if
you read in the press, you make it. It makes
it sound like he found out they were going to
rack and he resigned. He didn't want to go to combat.
It was eight months and it is. It is very true.
And if you better site, because I'm talking about his
(17:52):
colonels at it. My father left the third Armored Cavalry Regiment,
Second Army in Germany, and he left. He had no
idea and he was the battalion staff sergeant, so he
knew everything that went on and in it. He wasn't
the sergeant major, but he was the guy basically ran
the desk for the colonel who was the colonels assistant
colonel secretary, if you want it, he knew what the
(18:14):
units deployment orders were. He actually typed the deployment orders.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
He goes in, he and.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
His colonel are talking. His colonel wants him to re up.
He actually wants him to go, and it's a long
involved story. He wants him to stay in the military.
He says, you know, I've done my four I want
to go home. I appreciate it. We're going to be
in Germany for a while. And that's what everyone thought
they were in Germany. This is nineteen sixty four, the
Vietnam War. This is nineteen sixty seven. The Vietnam War
(18:42):
is heavily on. But they're an armor unit. An armor
in the jungle doesn't seem logical, so he goes home.
Three weeks after he gets home, his unit is decamped
to Vietnam. A lot of his friends die in Vietnam.
The point I'm getting at is for those that say
it's so close that us, I'm going to tell you
that's not how it works.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Folks. This is so wrong in what you're saying. You've
got it wrong. Okay, Every National Guard and reserve unit
knew for certain that they were going to either Rock
or Afghanistan. We all knew that for sure. He knew that.
In four He was certain of that. Everybody was in
the military, every National Guard reserve unit was deployed. He
(19:24):
knew at any day they could get those deployment orders.
So you can't say he didn't know they were going.
He knew they were going. Okay, so let let me
let CHRISTOPHERT listen. Okay, No, you don't get your didn't
the Raging Bull order hadn't come through yet, right, the
warning order hadn't come through yet. But no, but no,
(19:44):
but they knew that it was coming. Okay, they all
knew it was coming. When maybe in a month, maybe
in a year, maybe in six nobody really knew, but
they knew it was imminent. He was facing that. We
were all facing that. In fact, during the Gulf War, Uh,
we were. We were told we were going to go,
because then they delayed us like for six us eight
(20:06):
months or something and made us wait. And I'll never
forget that first night a drill. This is how serious
this stuff is. We had a young guy with us.
I'll never forget that night, and he was uh in college,
and uh, you know, we were, we were we were
showing how how dangerous and serious it was going to be,
very serious, very dangerous, just like the Iraq in Afghanistan.
(20:30):
And so when it was after that that night we
went to eat and were sitting around the table and
this guy starts crying. He's a young guy. He starts crying.
He says, I didn't join the army to go to war.
I don't want to die. Well, you know, we were
all thinking about that. I really want to go die
right now. That's how imminent is. And I guarantee you
(20:52):
every National Guard Reserve US at that time was thinking that.
It was all in our minds. So you cannot say
that for no sense of Oh, I mean, I'll never
be in harms way, I'm safe if I retire now,
it's not gonna know. And the man, look, I don't
think he ever wore a sergeant majors stripes. I don't
think he did. However he was he was. He was like,
they don't brevet anymore, but it's like being breveted. He
(21:14):
was put in the position to be the sergeant major
of that unit, and he carried out that role. He
was still in an E eight. He was in. He
have to complete the school, the sergeant major school. And
let me tell you something. There may be no greater
honor than to put on sergeant major stripes or first
sergeant stripes. It is considered to be one of the
great And I said this on the last show Colonels
(21:36):
and generals in their retirement, when they talk about their
military time among themselves, not with the public, but among themselves,
almost ninety percent of the thing is all about this
sergeant Majors and the first Argiants, because they made them
what they were. That's how important that role is. Christopher,
if I had ever gotten into Sergeant Major school, I
would have seen it as one of the greatest honors.
And I guarantee you I would have completed that school
(21:56):
unless you know, I had some major injury or something,
but that nothing would. Wild horses couldn't pull me out
of this school, even if I knew I was being deployed.
That that's what's going on in every student, every cadet,
every person in that starting made to school. They're all
very honored, and I guarantee you nothing's going to get
them out of that school. He deliberately pulled himself out
(22:18):
because he saw the danger they were in. And this
is everybody I've talked to, and it's very fair, it's extreme.
It's I don't care what his colonel.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
Said, why don't you here with the first.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Maybe because he wants to be in good stead with
the vice president of they win. Maybe you know, let
me tell you something. The high ranking officers can be
the most political people you'll ever meet in your life.
I know. I saw it's and that's a real problem
with the military, a big time problem. And when you
become a congressman, you know what you know what general
state of congressman? Yes, sir? How high do I jump? Sir?
That's how powerful that role is. He was going into
(22:51):
that role, so they all knew, don't mess with him.
Just let him retire. He retires an eight. Forget the guy.
He's a bomb. He betrayed us, and the men knew it.
His men. I guarantee every man in that unit knew
that that man had let them down, he had betrayed them.
They will. You can't imagine how that the soldiers and
the Marines and whatever airmen, sailors, how they look up
(23:12):
to that rank. It is critically important to them. And
to see that that guy tuxtail and runs that that
that was very demoralizing to those troops. Christopher, what he
did was wrong. And why is it that all the
sergeant majors, the Association of all Sergeant Majors have come
out with a very strong statement about what I just said,
his dereliction of duty. His coward is on a firelough,
He's never on a fire. That's the other thing he's
(23:33):
been around claiming I carried to go to Combine. He
made all these false claims. It's called stole, stolen, it's
it is, It's yes, he did. I saw, I heard
the statements he made, and I read them. Christopher.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Look what I'm getting at is, first of all, I'd
love to see the sources. Every single source has been debunped.
Every single has been debunked. Second, when it comes down,
when it comes down to this statement, what every all
these different points in the right are making or coming
out and saying he knew that he knew they had
deployment orders. I mean literally, I've read it like that,
(24:07):
and you and I both know that's not.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Why I have said that, because you've never seen.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
You never said that. And I'm giving credit.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
You heard what I know. Folks, you heard.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Me defend JD vance when the efiden it's really.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
In combat with the bullets flying, of course.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
But here's the point I'm getting at. Any person who
puts on a uniform for twenty four years and is
I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Hi is no, no, no, no. You talked for a while.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
The point is he went in and decided to retire
because he thought it was a conflict of interest to
be in the military and run for Congress.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
And I'm sorry. That is a legitimate, honorable choice that
most people cherish.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
And i'm this bs that you're going to finish sergeant
major school as if it's the end.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
All be all of the world is insane.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
Compared to being a congressman.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Chris. First of all, he didn't even know he's gonna win.
But secondly, many congress might have done that. They have
maintaining their military status and run for office. That's nothing hippocrit,
nothing hypocritical about being in the military and also being
having a political office. There's nothing wrong.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
With that political roles. You both know, right, So in the.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Ranks you can't campaign, that's true, but you can still
hold political office, Chris. For too many many, No, it's
not no, it's not No. Gabbard, it wasn't wrong. It's
not wrong for her. No. There are many great people
in the military and in Congress, and they're both. You
can do both. You just in the military folks. You
can't get politically, you can't campaign, you can't promote your
(25:29):
political position in the military, but when you walk out
on the streets you can totally legal. Totally Okay. Now,
one thing I want to say, just because a man
had a military career does not make him a hero.
I am sorry, it does not. You said twenty four years, Christopher,
let me finish, all right, nothing, I'm sell an example.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
I'm gonna be wearing a uniform for twenty four years.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
I didn't say that was signor I've never said that.
I said. I said. The fact that I said, the
fact that he went into the Sergeant Major's school showed
that he was a man that had potential in the
military and he had worked hard to get to that.
That's all very honorable. I'm not against that. What I'm
against is the fact that when he has a chance
to prove his salt, he tucktail and ran. Now, now
(26:09):
I'm gonna tell you what one of the greatest war
heroes America has ever had become became one of America's
greatest traders. And I'm talking about Benedict Arnold. And we
all know the story in that No, Benning Donald was
one of the greatest. And Bennerdon Donald was a combat veteran,
but he betrayed his country.
Speaker 4 (26:26):
Nothing to do Wels never Walsh never carried It's ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Walsh never carried a gun in combat. He never fired
a gun in combat. Benny Donald literally was a great
war hero. He won some of our greatest battles and
he suffered combat injuries and everything. So he was a
real hero until he betrayed America. So just because you're
a hero and fan, I mean, Wals is no hero.
I'm sorry. Going to training and doing that's really good,
(26:56):
but doesn't make your hero. Okay, that stuff doesn't start
to You're an action. The man never made, never made it.
So for him to run around claiming that he's a
war hero carried a gun and common yes, Sea he
said he carried a gun in combat. He said a
gun carried in comback like I carrod in comback should
never be allowed on the streets of Americas. He's also
wants to take all our guns away. So Christopher, let's go.
We got to move on. He's gotten late.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
We got to take a break because I do want
to address the financial side when we come back in
but we're gonna also talk about Lulu the Most at
Home and talk about the space It came up in
the Elon Musk interview of Donald Trump, and actually this
going to Mars and this future of the space race
has a direct impact on Louisiana, particularly the Meshu facility

constitutes enough money to run for vice president. All this

again this is chaplainhih mcchnry.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
With Christopher tad Moore and we've got a lot more
to talk about. I actually want to make an observation
on the ads. You know, most people don't realize this,
but did you know the New Orleans Opera actually they
have a dress rehearsal on Wednesdays before their major opera.
So if Toasca is on the twenty six, they'd be
the twenty fourth. Did you know that school kids and
(32:33):
kids can go for free they have to go with
their teacher, So like you could bring all of your
lamb kids to the opera for the low price of free.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Some of our greatest musicians, rock stars whatever, they got
their start and opera because it trains your voice like
nothing ever will.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
It's amazing, and many of our great musicians that we
think of actually started operas. But what I really love
is the fact that any school kid in town can
go for free on their dress rehearsal. And I encourage
people to call the New Orleans Opera, going to New
Orleans oper Association dot com and find out teachers, particularly
about taking their classes, because this is one I mean,
this is the lower price of free, free parking, free everything. Yeah,
(33:08):
I mean, come on, this is something at the mid
hay Jackson there. But speaking of people that have, you know,
not as much money. There's another criticism of Tim Walltz
that thought is a little unfair, and it's the fact
that he's middle class. He was a high school coach, teacher,
served in the military. He ended up all he put
his kids through school, his college, he ended up all
(33:31):
his only asset he had was his house, which wasn't
just a standard house. He sold that when he went
to the Governor's mansion. His entire net worth one hundred
and twelve thousand, and he's attacked by Jesse Walters and
Fox as he hasn't invested in America because he doesn't
own stocks and bonds, and that just makes him, like
most of us, ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Chris is right. You're right. He's middle class, every day
average American.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
That's proven now, and there should be nothing wrong with
the fact that you run for office because you're not rich.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
I mean that this is this you.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Don't invest in the stockmorm maybe because she's smart.
Speaker 6 (34:00):
In Van Nance who started off we called, you know,
to start Poores, is worth ten million dollars and he
was a stock I mean, he was obviously a security
broker and he made four of that from Hillbilly Allergy
to his book and the movie subsequently.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
But the point I'm.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Getting at is it was the weirdest criticism I ever
heard that the guy who just because his net worth
was less than three hundred thousand dollars, it was basically
the sale of his house when he moved the governor's mansion,
and he's if he becomes vice president, he gets a
fifty percent pay bump from where he is as governor,
which you know, it's this is this is a little.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Bit get that great retirement. So Christopher, by the way
that he has he made money in since he's been
in office, that's the big question.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
He's actually that's the interesting part. Everybody I've ever seen
an office, Republican or Democrat, makes all these securities and
books deals. He's been He's been a three term governor,
and you can make a lot of deals as a
governor in any states. He is worth less than he
was when he went in.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Well, you know what our anthemous gury and Governor Huey
Long would have called him stupid.
Speaker 6 (34:56):
Maybe, but at least he's you know, I hate a
lot of things about it.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Walt's the financially dishonest.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
I hope would you tell him is the truth? I've
just improved my evaluation of him as the mission.
Speaker 4 (35:06):
Is actually the truth. This is the criticism that he
didn't make any money.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
I mean, come on, but I actually speaking of people
who made a lot of money, and we're talking about
of course Elon Musk and Donald Trump. They got together
on X earlier this week and had a big what
could politely be called a bromance. But it was actually
interesting interview.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
And Christopher it set records, as you know.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
And it was good for X particularly.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
But what was interesting to me about it was, obviously,
this is Elon Musk. He's talking about the space program.
He's going to be talking and he and Trump and
this is not new for Trump. For those in the
left here are like I he's getting on. Trump went
into office saying, looking at the NASA administrator and saying,
I want to be on Mars in eight years.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
How do we do it?
Speaker 2 (35:46):
NASA administrator said no, He looks at Elon Musk and says,
how do we get on Mars in four years?
Speaker 4 (35:50):
And must It's like, here's how we do it.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
It's going to take an on godly amount of money,
but we can do it. The point I'm getting at
in all of this is what Trump and Musk's relationship
hated as much. It's going to supercharge the space program
for everybody except for Boeing. Now, if you've looked at
the other side of what's been happening, is the Starliner
vessel that's been in orbit to take the astronauts home.
(36:13):
It's still there, and the astronauts who are supposed to
be up there for two weeks of the International Space
Station are now there for six seven, eight weeks and
what's ironic, and they can come home. They're not trapped.
There is there's a Russian Suoya's escape capsule. It's you know,
that's there. So there's perfectly safe. There's they're not in
any danger. But it's been this incredible embarrassment for Boeing.
(36:35):
And guess where Starliner was built. The Mishu facility in
large portion here in Louisiana. And so it's gone to
the point where and Boeing received four times the amount
of money as SpaceX did to make the same product.
But they have a different philosophy of how they do rockets.
(36:57):
So the way Elon Musk and his people at SpaceX
stew rockets is very simple. Let it blow up on
the launch pad, let it fail, let it fail, let
it fail, let it fail until we figure out how
to make it work. And if one blows up, you
don't have one hundred review committees. You have the rocket
up there the next month to go up or at
least find out what's wrong. It's a much more it's
(37:19):
a much more dangerous way to do it, but it's
also a much more productive way. You want to move
in the space program, you have to have failure. You
got to learn from your oiliers. Boeing is a culture
that's based on very much like government culture. Never fail.
Go through so many security and safety things that you
never fail. Make sure you never fail, make sure you
(37:39):
never have a negative rus, make sure you never have
an explosion in the distortion, make sure you never hail.
And you know what happens you fail, which is what's
happened with Starliner and Orbit. And because of this philosophy,
it is entirely possible that Meshu, where most of this
was built, could be shut down completely. I'm not saying
that lightly, Folks. You're like, oh, he's being Boeing is
(38:01):
seriously talking about it's been such an embarrassment of getting
out of the space business seating at all. To Musk,
that's not actually good for America. We need more than
one space provider. It it's not good to have a monopoly.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Do you think maybe Musk would then moved to Meeschoe
move some of his operations to Misoe. Meschue Folks has
built every rocket that's ever been to the Moon. It's
one of the most remarkable facilities. If you ever get
a chance, it's free. You can go out there and
get a tour. You will see the largest building under
one roof, one floor in the world right out there
at Meschue. Was built in World War two by Higgins
(38:35):
for you know, when he was doing the Higgins Boast.
But he built it to build another spruce goose like
Hughes did a wooden plane, and then they didn't use it,
but the facility was still there, and eventually the Space
program took it.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
Over well, and there was a facility there.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
They actually what is currently Meshue they built from scratch
in the sixties.
Speaker 4 (38:55):
It was it was on top of the same propert No.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
No, they built other large buildings there, but that odginal
wooden building is still there.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
The current Mechoue facility. I'm not disagreeing with what you're saying.
The current Mahoe facility is the largest facility with under
one roof without any obstruction because it was for they
have the full Saturn five rocket in the sixties.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
You have to you need a car to get around
in the buildings. It's like it occupies like seven acres.
It's remarkable and it's no walls. It's all one solid
under one very tall roof. It's like like thirty forty
feet high. But it's really an amazing experience. It's open
to the public now. They have a lot of other
buildings out there, and the movie industry went out there
and occupied a lot of them for a while as
(39:33):
studio buildings. But it's back to building rockets again, and
that would be what another It would almost take any
more strategies, of course.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
And this is this was an unnecessary one because frankly,
if you would just allowed the engineers to do their
job and occasionally, you know, find out if something doesn't work,
not protect their you know, have to if they get fired,
if anything failed, we'd still have me shoe. No musk
is not moving to me shoe. And it's not any
thing attitudinal. He has built such a huge facility in Brownsville,
(40:04):
Texas where by the way, he can launch the rockets
right down the street from where he builds them, which
is a little bit more efficient than shipping them all
the way to Cape Canaveral. This is only the federal
government would come up with his stupidity. We could have
just as easily launched rockets for Louisiana over the Gulf
of Mexico.
Speaker 4 (40:19):
It's idiot, Christopher.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
We we have all those all rigs that aren't being
used that are great platforms to launch rockets. And he's
even doing that right just right off a Mischue musket
is right. Yeah, And so that he would have the
same opportunity here. He would because he's got the testing
facility right down and buy you the you know, the canal.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
He doesn't need the Stennis facility. I understand what you're getting. Basically,
the result of Boeing's corporate culture is going to put
a thousand people out of work and in Louisiana in
the space industry unless something massive happens soon. And look,
this is bad for the country because as for all
this group's Boeing had having one space provider, love or
(40:58):
hate mar Elon Musk, He's done incredible thing in space,
but having one company that you're dependent upon is never
a good idea, no matter operly.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
And then it is to be competition to keep both
of them on the heels exactly.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
And so that's that came up a lot in the
speech that this topic did not, but it should have
because it's gonna affect us.
Speaker 4 (41:14):
So much in Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (41:15):
On that note, folks, we're going to take our final
break and go into the patriotic moment after these important messages. Folks,
do you want passion, intrigue, even a little bit of
a murder? Well, yes, a perfect evening at an affordable price,
and you could almost transfer to Italy itself. That's Puccini's Tosca,
(41:36):
a production of the New Orleans Opera Association on September
twenty seventh at seven thirty pm and September twenty ninth
at two thirty pm.
Speaker 4 (41:43):
It is a perfect.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Opportunity at an affordable price forty dollars for the tickets to
be able to sit near the front of the Maheia
Jackson Theater and see one of the classic operas with
fame stars here in New Orleans. It's a great gift
that we've had celebrating the one hundred and sixty fifth
anniversary of the opening the French Opera House this fall
and over two hundred and twenty eight years of Opera
(42:04):
New Orleans. If you want to get tickets, you can
always go to the New Orleans Opera Association dot com.
That's New Orleans Opsociation dot com or call the box
office at five oh four five to nine three thousand.
That's five o four five to nine three thousand.
Speaker 5 (42:19):
Rescuing, recovery, re engagement. These are not just words. These
are the action steps we at the New Orleans Mission
take to make a positive impact on the homeless problem
facing the greater New Orleans area. Did you know in
twenty twenty, homelessness in our community increased by over forty percent.
(42:41):
We are committed to meet this need through the work
being done at the New Orleans Mission. We begin the
rescue process by.
Speaker 4 (42:49):
Going out into the community.
Speaker 5 (42:51):
Every day to bring food, pray, and share the love
of Jesus with the hopeless and hurting in our community.
Through the process us of recovery, these individuals have the
opportunity to take time out, assess their life, and begin
to make new decisions to live out their God given purpose.
(43:11):
After the healing process has begun and lives are back
on track, we walk 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
under a bridge. No one should endure abuse, no one
should be stuck in addiction. The New Orleans Mission is
(43:33):
a stepping stone out of that life of destruction and
into a life of hope and purpose. Partner with us

Speaker 1 (43:55):

Speaker 3 (44:00):
Back and this is the Founder's show, and I am
Chaplain High mcchinry. You'r been Gary, Bye bye all the Republic,
and it's now time for us to go into our chaplain.
Bye bye. Patriotic moment. We just take a brief moment
to remind you of the biblical foundations of our country,
our Judeo Christian jurisprudence. And today I like to talk
about none other than George Washington because we are in
(44:22):
a presidential election. It's this time of the of the year,
of the of this period in our history, a very
important presidential election. I think I'm going to start all
of my patriotic moments going to deal with presidents or
vice presidents and what they said and what they thought
about our biblical foundations, And what better one than George Washington,
(44:43):
our first president. Well, this was his prayer. He said,
Almighty God, we make our earnest prayer that thou will
keep the United States in thy holy protection, That thou
willt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a
spirit of subordination and obedience to government, and entertain a
brotherly affection and love for one another and for their
(45:04):
fellow citizens of the United States at large. And finally,
that thou willt most graciously be pleased to dispose us
all to do justice, to love, mercy, and to demean
ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind,
which were the characteristics of the divine author of our
blessed religion. And without a humble imitation of whose example
(45:25):
in these things, we can never hope to be a
happy nation. Grant our supplication. We beseech THEE through Jesus Christ,
our Lord. Amen. Now this was his prayer. I think
you believe we needed God in government, folks, quite clear,
quite quite extreme, let's say. I mean that was done
(45:46):
with a great explanation mark about how important it is
that of God in government. You know, when they laid
the Washington Monument in July, actually July the fourth, eighteen
forty eight, they deposited with it and it were many things,
including a Holy Bible presented by the Bible Society, and
they wrote on a laosdale that meant praise be to God.
(46:09):
Such was the discipline and the moral direction and the
spiritual mood given by the founder and the president of
our unique democracy, one nation under God, in God we trust, folks.
I really think that George Washington was all about making
sure we didn't forget God in government. Well what about you?
(46:31):
Have you forgotten God in you? So it's now time
for us to go into our chaplain by by gospel
moment where I can show you how that you can
know that you know that you know that you're a
God's child, that you really are a Christian, that when
you die, you are going to Heaven and you're saved
from a burning hell. Folks, there's nothing more important in
our lives than this. This is for all eternity. I mean,
(46:51):
I don't care what goes on in this life now
and what you do and everything, and bottom line, the
end of it all is about heaven and eternal life
versus eternal damnation, where you will have the existence of
a zombie. You will have no life, but you will exist.
You will have a memory, you will have thoughts, you
(47:12):
will feel pain, you will understand, you will have understanding
of your You'll be totally cognizant. You won't be like,
you know, like Biden, who's cognizantly greatly impaired. No, you'll
you'll have clear thinking and know who you are and
where you are, and you'll be like that forever in
a burning hell. You don't want that, folks. God didn't
(47:32):
want you to go there. In fact, the Bisle says
God didn't make hell for you. God made hell for devils,
for sin, for death. But there's a very sad scripture
that says hell as being enlarged. See God originally made
it just for those terrible things, but he's now having
to make it bigger because people live their entire lives
rejecting him, totally spurning his love, despising his love to
(47:55):
the very end of their lives with then the only
thing left is to go where God is not. It's
called hell. God didn't want you to go there, you know.
The scripture says for it says, for we have been saved.
That means going to heaven. We've been saved by grace.
That word grace means free gift. We've been saved by
grace through faith. Faith is how you take a gift,
(48:16):
a spiritual gift. You can't grab it with your hand,
of course, you can't, you know, sign a document that
says it's yours. No, But what you can do is
you can believe in your heart that Christ is the
only way. If all says believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved, that whosoever believeth in Him,
meaning Jesus. So let's say it again. We've been saved
(48:38):
by grace through faith. And even that is not of ourselves.
Even our faith didn't come from us. Folks, we're not
that good. But the scriptures God gives a measure of
faith to all people, the word of faith that's gone
to all people. And the scripture says, the grace of God,
which bringing salvation, hath gone to everyone. So we all
get God's grace and faith. But what do we do
with it? That's the key thing. You take your faith
(49:01):
that God gives you and place it in him for
your eternal life to know His love and experience it,
which is beyond anything known and can be explained it.
It's so magnificent. God really loves you, folks. If in fact,
the scripture says he's long suffering, He waits a long
long time for you because He.
Speaker 4 (49:19):
Really loves you.
Speaker 3 (49:20):
That's what love is. It's that strong, is that great.
So if we have been saved by grace, free gift
through faith, that's how you take it. Through faith, And
even that is none of ourselves, which it's not that
smart and good. That's okay. God is for us, we've
been saying, through faith, and even that is not of ourselves.
It is a gift of God, not of works. Lest
any man should both. Let me explain to you what
(49:41):
that means is all of your good works will never
get you to heaven. I don't care how good you are,
because the scripture says all of your rights are as
filthy ranks. So give up, forget it. And the moment
you do, you just repented. Jesus kept saying repent, and
believe repentance is part of your faith. Your faith is
a two sided coin. One side is repentance. That's a
first start heart right there. That means you believe you
(50:01):
really are that messed up, you really are that lost,
You really are damned and going to hell with no hope,
no hope, no way to get out of it. When
you come to that point, you just repented, and now
you're free to put faith alone, in Christ alone. It
is so important, folks, you have to believe with all
of your heart. You can't believe. Well, Jesus did so much,
But then I got to do this too. I gotta
do these special prayers. I got to turn for my sins.
(50:24):
I gotta clean up my life. I gotta do this. No,
none of that works. In fact, that only damns your
soul to hell. So give it up, forget it. You'll
never make it to Heaven that way. So, folks, now
you know the gospel that Jesus died for all of
your sins, was buried and rose from the dead, and
by a simple childlike faith in this great message, you
can know for sure you're say from a burning hell
(50:44):
and you're guaranteed heaven. If you've never ever done this before,
please do it now. Don't wait till it's too late,
like the old country preacher said, and the scripture says,
now today is a day of salvation. Well, now I
want to tell you our final thing before we go,
and that's today We're going to do the watch the
testimony time where I just take a person that lived
(51:05):
in a pharma, living now or in the from the
past and their story. And today I want to talk
about Mary Slessor. Mary Slester goes down as one of
the greatest missionaries in the history of missions. She's a
little old Scottish gowl who grew up in the slums,
kind of like J. D. Vance, a poor gal. Her
father was a terrible drunk. She she had a horrible,
(51:27):
tragic life and one day an old lady kept telling her,
You're going to hell if you don't turn to Christ.
And all she could think of was, I'm already living
in hell. What do you mean? And I don't have
to be in hell forever. That got her attention, and
she began to think and see the claims of Christ
and that he would save her, and she believed was
born again and ended up becoming one of the greatest
missionaries in the history of missions. She went by herself
(51:48):
to a place that was known as a graveyard of Europeans. Calibar,
near Camroon. Calibar was the land of cannibals and mosquitoes.
The cannibals did each of the mosquitos dead. You died
in malaria. Very few Europeans survived Calibar. She went right
into the middle of it. She went to work. Immediately.
(52:09):
She became one of the greatest people among the tribal
people of that land. These were big, giant, powerful men.
They always were fight, tribal people, always living at war.
She would go in the middle of the wars, raise
their hands and say stopping the name of Jess and
they'd stopped fighting. She had that kind of influence upon it.
She was so influential that the British government made her
the Vice Council because they couldn't handle these people, but
(52:31):
she could. There's statues to her. She started a great
movement to save the little babies. They would kill and
there's a lot of human sacrifices. And if they had twins,
they had a lot of twins, then they would kill
one of the babies. She stopped it. I mean, this
woman was just remarkable. She fought leopards, she fought hippopotamus,
She fought crocodiles. This woman was amazing and she lived
(52:53):
to an old age. She is really one of the
most remarkable people I've ever studied. In missions, she had
one of the most powerful testimonies I've ever heard of. So, folks,
you want to study, look up Mary Slessor. It is dynamic,
It will inspire you, it will encourage a little short, redheaded,
freckle face Scottish gal who taught all of us what
(53:14):
real courage and Christian's Christian faith is. Checker out, folks,
well it is time for us to go now as
we close to the mind, Saint Martin singing a Creole
goodbye and God bless all out there.
Speaker 1 (53:31):
They call you cREL goodbye. They think we're just wasted time.
All three sibl me there is time for a Creo
(53:55):
good bye.
