Hy and Christopher take on the impact of the government shut down on our national parks, talk about October 15 deadline to pay our federal employees, whether we can return to the decorum of Ronald Reagan in our politics, And looking forward to the November elections, where a controversial tax will be on the Orleans ballot for affordable housing. Should we pass another tax when the council keeps rolling forward our existing miliages after rolling them back?
Christopher reports from the road, broadcasting from Santa Barbara, California, having just completed a trip across Glacier National Park just hours before the government shut down, into the Waterton Lakes, Banff, and across Canada, and then on a Holland American line to San Diego. Tidbits from that trip, and how the government shutdown is affecting our transport in America are on the agenda!

to fill the holes while then are filling their pockets
bid holes, the politicians bouncing down the road. Every body's
(00:21):
with shin for no mob corruption and itsfunction. It's gonna
take you divide its offens.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
God bless all out there. You are now listening to
the founders. So the voice of the founding fathers, You're
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
(00:53):
Spanish moss way out on the Eagles Branch, is none

mc henry. Folks, it's gonna be exciting show. We're gonna
be talking about shutdowns. We're gonna be talking about travel
in the north West and the West Coast. We're gonna
be talking about taxes. And they assume new elections that
(01:13):
are coming. Uh, it's gonna be quiet. We're talking about Reagan,
great great part on Reagan in the Constitution. So, Folks,
without further ado, again, this is my partner.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Christopher Timmerman Rogan, a reporter, resident radical moderate and associate
editor of the Louisiana Weekly newspaper Louisiana Weekly dot Net
celebrating our one hundredth anniversary And Folks, where I am.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
I'm roving all.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Across the north of the country and the through Canada.
I started out in Spokane, went through Glacier National Park,
and passed into Canada just four hours before the government
shutdown was happening. And what I observed in the national
parks was interesting, particularly in Glacier. Things that normally stay
(02:00):
open until October seventh or beyond October fifteenth were starting
to close. And the reason they were closing was the
expectation that the national parks would close, but also that
they wouldn't have the.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Staff to do it because they wouldn't be paid.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
So, for example, the boat trips in late McDonald, which
normally last until October seventh, were closing.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
The lodges were closing.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
For all intents and purposes, the superstructure and infrastructure of
our national.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Parks was closing.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
The group of superintendents kind of recommended this, but they
also recommended the parks themselves close because they were worried
what would happen has already happened. The President, feeling that
there was a difficulty at least as advisors in closing
national parks at a high traffic period, decided to have
(02:52):
partial openings. Was just national parks without rangers. Let me
explain to you what happens. There have been graffiti, trash,
overwhelming impacts to the natural ecology, and all of this
in just about a week. It's one of the unforeseen
side effects of a government shutdown.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
There are many negative sides to a government shutdown. And
let me be the first.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Person to point out that the argument for a clean
cr was one that Republicans had rejected when Bill Clinton
wanted it, and Democrats are now rejecting as Trump wins it.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Of course, this all boils down to.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
The budgetary cuts that happened effectively under the Medicaid program.
There's been a few myths going around. I'd been saying
only three percent. For example, A lot of things out
of the Trump administration have been we're stopping illegal immigrants
from getting health care. Well, the fact is I've been
(03:52):
saying only three percent of the funding was going to
illegal migrants. Actually I was wrong. It's point five to
seven point zero five seven percent. It is less than
one half of one percent. Let's assume that those accurate
numbers are inaccurate, and it is three percent, it's a
(04:14):
higher number. That means almost all the cuts are going
to actual American citizens who were for the most part,
overwhelmingly like ninety plus percent born here, who are legal,
who are in every sense of the word, and who
are without basic health care. We've watched in a week
healthcare clinics close. We were watching essentially suspension of services
(04:38):
in many parts of the country. And that's already happened
without the government shutdown. What's happening with the government shutdown
is a lot of emergency funds that go through are
being arrested. It's affecting many parts of our country, the
arts and all this. As somebody who helps run an opera,
I know very much the dependency of federal funds to
(04:59):
keep artistic education and planning going, and it affects If
you cut off funds now, it will affect the next
two to three years of planning and providing educational programs.
It doesn't really affect the major, major shows, the houghity
toity go to. It affects whether we bring music into
our schools, into our libraries. It affects whether we bring
(05:20):
art to kids, because that's where that money goes. It
doesn't go to the hoity toity stuff, folks, It goes
to our children. So we're one week into the government
shutdown high one week into more actually a week and
a half, and at the same time, no deal seems
on the horizon.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
What do we do about this?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
The fact is we're at an impasse and the President
is enjoying this. He is able to basically not fund
things he doesn't want to do, which is not what
the Constitution says we are. After all, the Founders show
high and the Founders a specific on this point.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
They were afraid of this.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
They believed Congress should have to control the purse strings
and the powered to attacks and the power to spend.
Part of the President's frustration over tariffs that he can't
do what he wants is the fact the Founders specifically
gave that power to Congress, the powered attacks and therefore
the power to tariff, and he referenced the issue of tariffs.
(06:25):
They also gave the right to Congress to authorize budgets
and over the years, and this is a bipartisan problem.
We have allowed a majority of the Senate in the
House to decide the budget, but a super majority decide
whether we can spend it.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
This is an unsustainable system on both ends.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Frankly, as an adherent of the federalist papers of Madison,
Hamilton and j I believe the Senate is the cooling
plate of our republic. To quote Hamilton, the idea the
saucer that cools the water. For those that don't know,
the reason cups have saucers originally was so you could
(07:08):
put the tea into the saucer and whether make it
cooler because you would boil the water for the tea.
It's not there some kind of fancy accouterment. Anyway, It
was supposed to be the cooling saucer. And for it
to be a cooling saucer, you have to have a
supermajority to do things. And look, I'm going to be
the first person to say it. It was the Democrats
who got rid of it. For cabinet appointments and for
(07:29):
Supreme Court for judges, Republicans have got to write it
for Supreme Court judges. But even I don't blame them
for that because Democrats are pretty much done for everybody else.
So the fact of the matter is we're going to
this majoritarian rule of the majority, and that's not what
a republic is. A republic is supposed to be, by definition,
(07:53):
a protection of the rights of the minority, while still
respecting the power.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Of the majority.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
That's why we're not a demos or a res PUBLICA
demos means rule of the demos, Kasi means rule of
the many, Respublika means of the rest. It usually was sentate,
popularist press, pupil of the Senate and people of Rome
the idea that there was a mixture of power, and
(08:23):
ultimately this entire shutdown is not demonstrating a mixture of power.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
It's the Republicans want their way and that's it. And look,
Democrats acted the same way, but there's one difference.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
The medicaid cuts that the president are seeking were approved
by sixty votes in the Senate. They were taken away
by fifty plus a tie breaking vote with the Vice president.
So this argument is over something that a super majority approved,
(08:58):
albeit an unusual circumstances where we had two wave elections
and a collapse, and it was a Democratic majority, but
it was a super majority, and I think that needs
to be remembered as we try to negotiate some kind
of deal here.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Your thoughts high, Oh, Christopher, My heart and mind are
pregnant with thoughts on this topic as I'm going to
have to point out some mistakes you've made here. I'm concerned,
very concerned for you, Christopher, because I really believe your
Trump Trump derangement syndrome DTS is doing you in. It's
(09:33):
really affecting your inte like you're not able to think
clearly and completely because you're so screaming, raging, filled with
hatred for Donald Trump. To say it, it's like you
can't say good about the guy no matter what. I
don't care what he does. He's come with the greatest
peace plan they've Everbody's caused more peace around the world
than any president in the history of the world. And
you know, the Democrats and you are acting like there's
(09:57):
nothing to it. You know, it just all kind of
happened by acts, and I guess Trump had nothing to
do with it. Of course, the Nobel prize is so
political to the left, he may never get it, which
is really sad. That is shut get is a demonstration
of how dangerous and how sickening Trump derangement syndrome is.
(10:17):
What that is, folks, is when you have a personality
class for some reason, you don't like somebody and you
develop an extreme hatred for them and maybe for the
rest of your life, and it's very dangerous. They live
rent free in your brain. So let's look at all
these things. Talking about the parks, right, we love the parks.
I love the parks. You're doing a great job with
the parks, CHRISO for giving tours on them, and you
know a whole lot about them. I spent a lot
of time at National parks myself, and you know I
(10:40):
can live in a back with a backpack and a tent.
I did it. I've done it a lot for months,
you know, if you ate it all up, several years,
probably over my seventy five years of being on this earth. Anyway, folks,
this is what's going on with the parks. The heaven
starts shut non essential things and not the most important
thing down and and this is only happening. This is
(11:03):
the Schumer shut down. Never forget that Schumer shut down.
The Democrats are trying to pep Christopher forgot this. I
guess the Democrats are trying to push them one point
five trillion dollar increase on the budget. And it's all
for their favorite garbage. If you looked at some of
the stuff that they've been doing, it's insane. I'm talking
about dancing lessons for homosexuals and Haiti and on and
(11:26):
on and on. It's sick. It's sick what they're spent
trying or have been spending money on, and in some
cases still are. We're trying to cut all that out.
That's what Republicans are to get rid of the foolishness.
And and why do we have to pay all these
foreign countries all this and for all these insane activities.
What why are we doing this? That's what Trump is
after and he's been very successful at it. He got
(11:47):
the big beautiful bill passed. But now we've got we
have to continue the the funding of the country. The
continue to call the Sea our continuing resolution. And the
Republicans have asked for nothing extra. They've said, just leave
it like it is and we'll pass it. The Democrats
are demanding one point five trade. And one reason they're
(12:08):
doing this is because the Democrat Party is no longer
controlled by let's say, their their their leadership, their formal
official leadership, you know, the speaker, not the uh you know,
minority leader in the Senate and the minority leader in
the in the House. They're really not controlling the country.
They're in name only. You know who's controlling it a
very small group of extremely radical Democrats, communist Democrats, uh is,
(12:35):
militant Muslim Democrats. They are now controlling the entire Democrat Party,
and the leadership is terrified them. So whatever when they
say something, if they if AOC gives Schumer command, his
own replies, she says jump, his own replies, how high
it's gotten that bad? And that's what's really causing all this,
And it's going to cause a tremendous amount of struggle
(12:57):
and pain and suffering for government workers. Chrisopher just pointed
out it's gonna it's gonna cost cutting a funding for
important things like uh, you know, the arts and schools
and things like that. And Trump loves that, by the way,
he's not against that. Trying Tidmore tried to make it
look like he hates the arts, he hates schools. Now
he doesn't, folks. He's all for it, he says, for
(13:19):
doing it the right way instead of the stupid way.
And so you know, the common sense way, which Democrats
seem to have completely lost any concept of common sense. So, folks, uh,
this is is getting very interesting to say the least.
And like the Chinese said, pray that you don't live
in interesting times. But more to it than that. About
(13:41):
what Christopher just said. And oh, you know about the
parks being trashed, Yeah, they are being trashed. I wonder
who's trashing them. All the evidence on when parks get
trashed it's Democrats that are trashing the parks, Isn't that interesting?
For instance, the mall in Washington, d C. The Capitol
pl pray and hope or whoever the police are for
(14:02):
the de you know them all they pray and hope
that it'll be a conservative rally and movement because everything
is clean when they leave. When the Democrats are there,
the whole place is trashed, garbage all over the place,
of graffiti, you name it. That's the kind of stunts
that Democrats do, folks. Christopher kind of forgot to include
(14:23):
that in his talk about how the Trump the parks
are being trashed and what a tragedy, what a traged
to see our beautiful parks getting trashed like that. But
then that's the Democrat party. That's the Democrat most violent
party I think we've ever had in the history by far,
it's got to be, especially with what's happened in the
past ten twenty years. The Democrats are just very violent.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
You know.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Their movement literally murdered Charlie Kirk, murdered him, and you
can prove it through the websites and what the boy
was doing who killed Charlie Kirk, assassinated him. They have
weaponized websites to stir up their base to go out
and do violent acts, and they are doing it. And
then their leadership is setting up the targets. Oh he's
(15:04):
a Nazi. Oh that's Adolf Hitler, and the website's saying,
go on kill Adolf Hitler, go on kill the Nazis.
What do you think is going to happen, folks? Well, folks,
this is getting interested. And like I said, the Chinese
always say pray that you don't live in interesting times.
We better pray for this country because we are in
(15:25):
one serious state right now. And you got to lay
the blame right there at the chart at the Schumer
shut down. Schumer's the one who created this nightmare and
now won't budge because he's terrified of his communist leadership
in his party. Well, folks, I know, Christopher, you've got
some more good stuff to tell us. Uh, what's what's?
What else is coming around here? I can't wait to
(15:45):
hear your next your next thing for us. So take
it away, Christopher.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Now hi, all of this is going to come to
the fore by October fifteenth. That's when checks go out
to our troops. That's when checks go out to our
government employees. There's a twenty nineteen law that says if
you don't get checks, you get back pay. But what happened,
interestingly this past week is that a memo came out
of the White House that said, there's no guarantee that
if you miss a paycheck that you'll get back pay.
(16:14):
This is the essence of the strategy that Trump administration
is doing. How do you get rid of public employees
You can't fire, you just don't pay them. And this
is where this entire conversation is going through some bipartisan
horrendous situations. So let me pick on the Democrats for
a second. I believe the healthcare issue is legitimate. Having
(16:35):
said that, I'm not sure that's the reason why Chuck
Schumer is leading this revolt in a way he didn't for.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
The last CR.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
And it's because he's going to be challenged by Alexandria
or Tessi or Kutez. He Basically, if he gives in
on this cr the way he did last time, he
loses the leader of the Democratic Party in the United
States Senate loses his primary.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
So this political calculation is going here.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
On the other hand, their political calculations going, and this
is what's going on. It'll happen by our last broadcast
of the show. October thirteenth is when the checks have
to be processed, which is right after our Monday broadcast.
And October fifteenth is why. Is when they arrive in
people's banks accounts. Most federal employees are in direct deposit,
(17:29):
and so one of the things that is fascinating about
the entire debate is if they miss this deadline.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
The law is very specific.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
It simply says, okay, you don't pay them but they
get the back pay. That's an existing law. The Trump
administration is now saying, wait a second, we don't think
we have to pay them. That's the nose on the
Campbell's nose under the tent. That is the threat that
is going on by the Republicans. And that is also
(18:03):
the question of legality about all of this. Can Trump
ignore an existing law that says specifically that in the
time of a government shutdown, it says, if there's a shutdown,
this is the law High twenty nineteen. It was passed
very specifically by Republicans so that this could never you know,
(18:24):
it could never be the threat could never be used
against them by a Democratic Congress. That's that was the
whole idea behind it, and now it's being used in reverse.
Can this government shutdown be a vehicle to fire people effectively?
If not literally, because if you don't pay somebody, then
you've effectively fired them. If they don't get back pay
(18:48):
and you go on for six months, well, people can't
afford I mean unless you're independently wealthy. You know, people
for the most part can't afford it, or wouldn't be
willing to do it even if they could.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
So can can Trump do that.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
There's a lot of political calculations about this, and if
this thing doesn't get cured by the fifteenth, I think
we're in a totally different political environment. I worry though,
fundamentally about our troops not getting paid. I worry about
federal employees not getting paid, like our National Parks rangers,
like our CDC.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
I can go on and on.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
I don't know a way out of this because if
you're a Democrat, as I referred to in the last
segment that I did, this is something that they got.
This was a lifetime sixty votes, and they worry that
if they do give in, people don't get health care.
And it's only at zero point zero five seven percent
illegal immigrants?
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Is that less than three percent?
Speaker 3 (19:47):
As I said before, of all health care funding goes
to migrants not here legally, the emergency room provision less
than three percent of that. So this is americans we're
here legally who lose healthcare. Last on several million who
wins this gamble our troops or millions of Americans who
(20:10):
need healthcare?
Speaker 4 (20:12):
How would you you would vote to continue to see?
I know, hi, but how would you This is the question?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Repose convince Democrats that it's in their political interest to
do this and give Trump a win.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
And how would you convince Trump the second question, to.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Obey the law and say, okay, look going on, but
everybody gets back pay when we agree to a deal.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
How do you do that?
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Which do you do that? And do you do both?
How are your thoughts well?
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Chrispher You bring up a very interesting situation, as you
often do, being the political pundent expert that you are,
even though I know we don't agree certain things. You
pull a little brain. I mean it's not Lila, I'm
sure you've got a big brain has been damaged by
your certain particular focus on Donald Trump. Anyway, Yeah, this
(21:02):
is very serious. People not getting paid, and medicare shutting
down or whatever, you know, the hospitals not being able
to provide the health care they have been providing. But
remember this now, this is directed toward illegal aliens who
have swamped our health care system, preventing Americans and veterans
from getting their health care. And their Americans, you know,
(21:24):
they paid the taxes for this. They pay have been
paying the bills. Why should they be denied to let
the illegal immigrants get it? This is wrong, Christopher. And
that's one of the things that's happening now, and that's
also one of the goals of Donald Trump is to
cut them off of every financial support the government can
give them. They're not Americans. Go back to their country
(21:45):
where they have their own welfare system or whatever and
lean on that, but not us anymore. We've got to
end this. The Democrats got over twenty million illegal aliens
into this country, with a huge number you know, several
hundred thousand being hardened criminals, are mentally ill people whatever.
They have trafficked over one hundred thousand kids, children into
(22:09):
this country for sex slavery. Folks, this has been very
evil what has been going on. The drugs are fit
and all that's coming. This is all happening right now.
It's a tactic to get rid of all that. To
help get rid of all that. Now, Holm's doing a
great job of finding them, rooting them out and getting
them out. But it's a huge job, folks. It's not
going to happen overnight. Think about how long it'll take
(22:30):
to get rid of that many people who are illegal aliens.
As far as the whole illegal alien picture goes, I
really believe that the ones that are good, and there
are plenty of them coming over that are good people.
But they have broken the law to come into this country.
So that makes the criminals. But they're good people. So
what do we do? They're here, Many of them are
entrenched in our lives now and I work out maybe
(22:52):
a third of the guys that work out with at
my gym and now they're illegals, don't speak English hardly.
I'm getting to be good friends with them, sharing a
gospel with them. They're nice people, I'm sure they're hardworking people. Uh,
and family people. One thing I like about most of
the well at least the Hispanics that are coming in,
and that's most of them. Uh, they're family people. They
are very family oriented. They have a great respect for
(23:13):
God and church and and and family values and boy
we need that. And and hard work. They're hard working folks.
So all that is good for America. So what I
would like to do is we're out the bad ones,
kick them out, and then find the good ones. And
you have to get them documented. You have because many
of these people are flying free. Nobody knows who they are,
(23:34):
where they are. They don't pay tax in it they're
just out of the system, but using our our system,
using our uh, you know, things that we do, our infrastructure,
you know, our hospitals are whatever.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
They're getting benefits from that, and some of them have
figured out how to get on the welfare system, and
Democrats protect them. They want that to happen. You see,
this is the future of the Democrat Party. The Democratic
Party has gotten so bad and so many people now
are alerted to it that even if they're Democrats, they
don't vote for them anymore. And the Democrats realize that.
So they've got to get a whole new voting block
or they're finished as a party. Are they Maybe they
(24:10):
could just change and come back to being reasonably decent,
good Americans and with a basic good American constitutional policy,
that would be wonderful. They might, they might have to,
but until then they're they're they The plan was get
all these illegals in and from then on out they
have a giant voting block that will guarantee them almost
complete control of the government. They gerrymander them into all
(24:32):
the different states where they are and and and radically
increase the Democrat base their vote and vote votes because
of population in the words California is all will get
another an extra five seats in Congress by these illegal aliens.
And this is happening all over the country where they're
increasing their vote count, their their their everything, and and
(24:54):
and and money because I mean that those states get
more money. Uh, that's what's behind the Demos plant. Why
do they open the doors and just say come in.
And they came in by the thousands and hundreds of
thousands daily with Biden t shirts on them. You know
they've been told Biden is your hebro. He's going to
get you into the US because that was the plan.
That was the Democrat plan. All the Trump with Trump
(25:17):
is doing is using every asset he has as a
president to stop this and reverse it. But back to
the good illegals, Let's say I think we had to
find a way for him to get registered as good voters,
and the Democrats don't want that now because let me
tell you some Democrats they're thinking and their policies a
much more akin to Republicans than yours. So you're liable
(25:38):
to have created one of the biggest mistakes you've ever made.
And instead of you getting that voting block, will get
it because I guarantee you. I know how these people.
I know them well. I've lived down in Mexico. I
love Latin American culture. My grandmother was a santana I
go on and on about how much close I am
to Latin American culture. They would make great Republicans. They're
(25:58):
already there, their minds and their hearts.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
And so.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
That's what I think is going on with what Chrisopher
just addressed about what the shutdown is doing. And it's time, folks,
for us to get hold of this thing and deal
with it. But we've got to stop the Schumer shut down.
The Democrats created this with their one point five treaty
in addition to the to the budget. Instead of just
what we were doing with the Republicans were doing what
(26:25):
Mike was doing with Johnson was saying, you know, speak
of the House was saying, leave it like it is.
We won't change a thing, and all the things that
you liked in the last budget you'll get to keep.
Just leave it like it is doing Stocrats said, no,
we want one point five trillion more dollars. And by
the way, a lot of this has to do with
getting w rid of Obamacare, which has turned out to
(26:45):
be a major disaster in this country. Obamacare is a
curse to the medical system, and almost everybody knows that now.
When they did the website, they couldn't get it right.
It was about a half It cost bout maybe a
half a million, maybe a million dollars build a website.
Michelle Obama got it to her good buddy who had
no background in the it world, and it cost us
(27:07):
one hundred million dollars for a million dollar website. Nice
private hunt, Michelle Obama. And then on top of that,
it didn't work. It took months, several months to get
it to work, and because she screwed it up so badly,
and to spend a whole lot more money now to
fix it. And when they finally started to work, people
lost everything. They lost their doctors, they lost their insurance. Everything.
(27:27):
Every promise Obama made he broke, he violated, and they
ended up with having much higher costs for their insurance.
Some people were markeaging their homes just to be able
to pay for their health insurance. This was a disaster
to the middle class. It was ruining the middle class.
And as far as the poor folks go, I worked
with poor folks. Folks I have a ministry with the
(27:47):
inner city poor and inner city kids. I'm with them
all the time. I know exactly what they're going through.
I'm in the hospital with them. I just got got
out of the hospital with when I'm just recently had
a premature baby. And I see what they get. I
see what they've been getting before Obamacare was over a round,
they got great treatment. My wife and I would look
at this way back then, before we had Medicare, and
we would say, gosh, I was ugly. We could afford
that kind of treatment. They got it for free. They
(28:10):
had good health care before Obamacare. They didn't need it.
In fact, it even jacked up and messed up some
of their health care programs. That's what Trump is part of.
This is to end Obamacare because it is a curse
to the healthcare system of this country and has been
since it was started. And that's why so many people
that bail from it. They do everything they can to
avoid it. That's the real story behind all those folks.
(28:32):
I'm glad you just heard it because you had to
hear from me. Christopher. You got to tell the whole truth.
Remember that. I know you're a good guy. I know
you mean well, but watch out the dts. It is
affecting your thinking Christopher and taking you away from common
sense thinking. And I hate to say it, you got
to even say from a moral viewpoint, hatred will always
destroy your morals always. That's why we're not to hate.
(28:54):
That's why we're to love as Christians. That's why we're
to turn the other cheek, do good to those who
just witefully use return good for evil. That's what I
have to do as a Christian. But if you're a Communist,
that doesn't exist. If you're a liberal, because they lean
to the left communism so much, that doesn't exist. If course,
if you're a radical Muslim, it absolutely doesn't exist. In
(29:14):
their Korean you're to kill Infidels, Christians, Jews and even heretics.
And folks, you know how sick this religion is. They
have killed many more of their own than they have
us Christians, Jews and infidels. It's like something like ten
times many Muslims have been killed by the Muslim terrorists
(29:35):
because they were quote heretics. It's an evil religion, folks.
I don't mean to get off from this, but you
know why not. There are a lot of these immigrants
that have come. They're Muslims, and we know there are
a lot of terrorist Muslims that got in Folks. It's serious,
This is very serious. So anyway, it is time for
us to take a break. Thank you, Christopher. We'll be
back right after the break, God bless you, and we'll
(29:56):
see and just a little bit.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
Rescue, recovery, re engagement.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
These are not just words.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
These are the action steps we at the New Orleans
Mission take to make a positive impact on the homeless problem.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Facing the greater New Orleans area.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Did you know in twenty twenty, homelessness in our community
increased by over forty percent. We are committed to meet
this need through the work being done at the New
Orleans Mission. We begin the rescue process by going out
into the community every day to bring food, pray, and
share the love of Jesus with the hopeless and hurting
(30:40):
in our community. Through the process of recovery, these individuals
have the opportunity to take time out, assess their life
and begin to make new decisions to live out their
God given purpose. After the healing process has begun and
lives are back on track, we walk each individual as
(31:00):
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 a stepping stone out of that life of
destruction and into a.

Life of hope and purpose. Partner with us today.

great issues in this work. I mean, we're dealing with
the inner city poor, inner city kids. And believe me,
there's never a dull moment. We have seen five thousand,
about about five thousand come to Christ over the past
(32:19):
twenty seven years, we've seen hundreds go on to live
very productive and successful lives that we would have never expected,
never thought, never seen, and it's been a wonderful work.
We have a third generation now in our ministry working
on the third generation. That's our kids have kids early,

So about further dude, it's time for us to get
back into this show in the meat of the show,
and again Chris has got some more great insights for
(34:17):
us on his next topic, which is going to be
about Ronald Reagan. Let's hear what he has to say
by Reagan.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Well, Hi, I'm my latest entry to you.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
I've been traveling, but I'm near the end of my trip,
and before we get back to experiencing the Canadian situation,
I had to put up something pretty positive. I'm in
Santa Barbara, and not only did I get to explore
this wonderful town, but I actually got to visit the
Reagan Ranch Museum. For those that do not know, the
(34:49):
Western White House was right above Santa Barbara, and the museum,
run by the Young Americas Foundation, is one of the
fantastic locations. As Reagan's jeep, it has the actual tax
cut he signed, pictures of him and the Queen, and.
Speaker 6 (35:04):
His boots that he did, his chainsaw, that he cut
all the brambles, and I always think about that.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
Ron Reagan's relaxation was not to play golf for tennis,
though he could play them. It was that he loved
manual labor on his ranch.
Speaker 6 (35:19):
In fact, he would have to make his staff build
in time so he could cut brambles or this. They
weren't photo ops. It was that he found truth in
actual work, not just labor work, but the physical labor.
And at the time all of this was going on,
ladies and gentlemen. Ron Reagan was in his mid seventies
and he was out there cutting. But he did find
(35:40):
a very interesting story at the museum that the docent
was kind enough to show me around.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Told me. He said, one time he was cutting a
tree branch and.
Speaker 6 (35:51):
He was having a situation where it was coming in
and it cut too fast and it came towards his leg.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
The chance on switch to shut off, but he didn't
shut off us, and so we had a very minor cut.
It was bleeding. Though.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
His biggest fear was that, you know, don't let missus
Reagan know, don't let Nancy.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
No, don't let Nancy go.
Speaker 6 (36:11):
And so they kept it for a few days and
the family, the first lady found out and she was
sort of rampage.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
He gainst the security step. He's seventy four years old.
He got a shade saw it. You're not watching him,
I think is at Ronald Reagan sometimes reminds me.
Speaker 6 (36:28):
Of you laboring around at seventy four high. I will
say that, but I also think of Reagan as my hero.
He remains my hero in politics.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
You know, everybody assigns me in the Winston Churchill and
Churchill certainly as a vice president of Churchill Society. He
remains one of my great heroes in life. But Ronald
Reagan is my American political hero. He and for the
reasons that weren't.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
Ronald Reagan, you forget, signed one.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
Of the biggest what we would call amnesty bills for
Mexican Americans. Ronald Reagan pioneered free trade and what would
become the North American Free Trade Agreement. Ronald Reagan believe
and peace through strength, but he believed in NATO. He
believed international institutions. Ron Reagan believed in negotiation, but he
believed in trust but verify.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
Even the former.
Speaker 6 (37:14):
Premier of the Soviet Union, General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, who
he would negotiate with, who became a close friend of
his and was one of the only people who visited
him at the ranch after both of them retired, he
never trusted Gorbachev, a much more trustworthy figure, the way
that frankly, Donald Trump has trusted Vladimir Putin kind of pointlessly.
(37:38):
Rond Reagan in all aspects was the great president. And
the thing that I respect most is I remember a
story about Reagan and he was in the White House.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
It was a particularly warm day in the air condition
wasn't working.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
That wealthy of office, and he said, mister President, you
know that somebody you could take off your coat, And
he says.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
Absolutely not in the oval office.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
I could never disrespect this office by taking off my coat,
by anything but being in a moment of total reverence
for this temple.
Speaker 6 (38:08):
I wish we had more of that in politics today.
I don't see the current president displaying that level of honor.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
Or that level of tradition.
Speaker 5 (38:16):
Are your thoughts high?
Speaker 2 (38:17):
I'm sure you disagree, well, Christopher, I don't necessarily disagree
with you. We don't disagree on everything, and at least
we've maintained our well behaved posture of maybe we disagree.
I made this rule up when I first started the show,
way before Christopher was on, and that is because I
had people calling in and they it's pretty wild. People
(38:37):
scream and holler and everything Liberals, of course, And the
rule was this, we may not always agree, and we
will not always agree, so let's just agree to disagree,
but not be disagreeable. And when someone crossed that line,
kicked them off the show. All right. As far as
Reagan being the great man that he was, like you said,
I agree with you, Christopher, And I'm so glad you
(38:59):
have such admiration from respect for the man. I could
go on and on. We don't have time to say
that the wonderful things we could say about Reagan one day.
Maybe we just need to show on Reagan one day,
we really do. And you're so you know so much
about him. You're a real expert on him, Christopher. That
would be a great show. So and I have my
own knowledge of him. One thing I remember about Reagan
was really great. There's a big party in DC, you know,
the White House, and they had all the dignitaries there
(39:20):
from all around the world whatnot. And Trump, being a
rising star in New York City, the great builder that
he is and was, he was invited and he was
there and he met Reagan. Reagan was going run through
the growade, shaking hands, meeting people. He met Donald Trump
and he had a nice little conversation with him. When
he walked away, he told his aide he said, you
know what I thought, I was just talking to the President.
(39:42):
What does that say for Reagan's wisdom and intuition about
great leadership? It says a lot. And you're really wrong
about putin and Trump and all that. But anyway, that
takes too long to work those waters, and we really
don't have time to go into that. He didn't He
doesn't trust Pootin any more than Reagan trusted Gorbachev, I
(40:05):
can assure you. But he's really nice, very nice. That's
one way you win, folks, when you're negotiating, be very nice.
When you can when it's a good time to be
very nice, be very nice. You get a whole lot
more like, let's say, catch more bees with honey than
you do with vinegar. So, folks, this has been such
a great show. We have more togalo those and we're
(40:26):
not Christmas got last really interesting, great thing to share
with us. So Christopher take it away.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
Well, with one election coming to an end, we have
another election coming up just in about a month, and even.
Speaker 4 (40:43):
With all the changes and decisions.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
That happened on October eleventh, this election is kind of major.
It's the idea of rolling forward millages and raising taxes
to create affordable housing, and the idea of having a
government fund in orleanssh to raise affordable housing.
Speaker 4 (41:02):
You know, I'm not opposed to, but I will tell
you this.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
They want the city council wants new taxes out of
this proposal in November, new property taxes on top of
having rolled forward millages on us as the citizenry of
New Orleans without a public vote. Now, there have been
times I've supported taxes. There are legitimate reasons for taxes.
Having said that, there's never a legitimate reason to roll
(41:28):
forward milages.
Speaker 4 (41:29):
This is the process.
Speaker 3 (41:30):
When your house is valued, you revalued and it's valued
more that the milage rate. The law says that you
have to roll it back, but you can get a
stealth tax increase by rolling it forward.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
To the same level.
Speaker 3 (41:42):
This is what city councils do without consulting the electorate.
And this is something Litori Cantrell has pioneered in her.
Speaker 4 (41:50):
Service in office.
Speaker 6 (41:51):
The only time spent authorities when the council vote is
against them and they voted to roll it forward.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
And as long as they do that without any public vote,
I think giving them.
Speaker 4 (42:01):
More tax dollars is not a good idea.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
They want to row back the ledges and seek all
of it in a public vote for tax dollars. Great,
but until the council is willing to do that, it's
just getting too expensive. To live in Orleans Parish. That
should not be something that is considered next month.
Speaker 4 (42:18):
Here's thought time.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
Oh row Chris for great thoughts. You got some great ideas.
Folks are killing us with taxes and it's unnecessary. It's
just the greed of our politicians. They want to spend
as much money as they can because they're all there
lined up with their shell corporations getting their take of
the action. And that's really what's going on. They don't
need all this money. They want all this money, and
(42:40):
look at the results. We get lousy city services. That's
always what happens when when criminals start stealing and cheating
and everything else the actual job they're supposed to be doing.
I say criminals meaning politicians are politicians. Guess what. Guess
what you get garbage for city government. And that's what
(43:01):
we've got. Look at the insanity of our city government.
It's a disgrace, it's a shame. And Christopher, your soul right,
we need to do something to fight this and stop this, folks.
So it is time for us to take another break.
We'll be right back after this brief commercial announcement with
the Chaplin about patriotic moment and gospel moment.

Speaker 6 (44:02):
One way you help the creative economy is to support
local bookstores, the place where local authors actually have a
shot at getting their books out and the one that
has done more to launch local authors than anywhere else
in the country. From Anne Rice to James Lee Burke
to many others across the metro area and the nation,
including John Kennedy. Tool is the Garden District Bookshop the
(44:23):
corner of Washington and Britannia. For forty three years, the
Garden District book Shop has been there for you to
provide a local alternative for everything from children's books to cookbooks,
to Louisiana history to the leading fiction and nonfiction authors
coming out.
Speaker 4 (44:38):

local bookstore. You'd seen with Libreo get everything that's an audible.

Battles politicians.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
Well, folks are back and you are listening to the
Founder's show, and it's not time for us to go
into our chaplain. Bye Bay, patriotic moment. We just take
a brief moment to remind you of the biblical foundations
of our country, our judio Christian jurisprudence. And today we
want to talk about Ronald Reagan, President Reagan. We had
something about him earlier in the show. Here's a quote
from Reagan. Politics and morality are inseparable because only those
(46:12):
humble enough to admit there since it can bring to
democracy the tolerance it requires in order to survive. So
you see what he's saying, the same thing that Madison
who wrote the Constitution. He said that the that the
Ten Commandments were vital for the success of the Constitution
because it gave the people morality, and without that morality,
(46:33):
the constitution is worthless. It doesn't work. And here Reagan's
saying that you need that kind of tolerance in democracy
that it brings in words to give and take. Unlike
what's happening right now in Congress where one side is
demanding at all one an extra one point ten one
point five trillion dollars and they're stomping the feet and
(46:55):
demanding to keep the government shut down till they get it.
There's no tolerance there, folks. There's no morality obviously, especially
when you see what they want to spend the money on.
And so, folks, we need that kind of morality back
in government and back in the and we the people
has to be we the people. We're going to make
America great again. Good. I'm all for that. I'm working
very hard for it. But it's not going to go
(47:16):
very well. Uh, it just kind of fizzle out unless
we the people are the ones who are driving this.
We the people the ones who are bringing a solid
biblical morality back to the government. Back to the country,
back to ourselves, and then we will see a true
Maga movement and a changing and a saving of this
(47:37):
country like we never thought possible. We need God back
in America. We need revivals. As Ronald Reagan also said
that the Bible is a foundation for all of our morality.
Reagan was such an amazing man. All right, well, it
is now time for us to go into being understanding
how we can get that morality. That's important. How do
you get it? Well? The Bible says that when you
(47:59):
are born again, as we now go into our chapel
by by gospel moment, that means your dead and dying
spirit has become fully alive because the Holy Spirit has
come into your spirit and taking it from death to life.
The Bible says, you need that, folks, We all need that.
You could be the greatest patriot that ever lived. But
if you died and went to hell, what good would
(48:19):
it do you? It do you nothing. I don't care
how good of a biblical patriot you were. You have
to know Jesus up closed and personal. The Bible says,
His righteousness comes in you. That's morality, folks, That's how happens.
The scripture says, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and
thou shalt be saved. Okay, great, believe believe what I mean,
just believe believe on Jesus. Well, that's good. That's a
(48:41):
good start. That gets you going in the right direction.
The Bible says, But let me tell you what you
need to believe. The scripture says, a gospel is the
power of God and the salvation. Okay, great, what's the gospel?
It says? Who's ever believer that says that The gospel
is that Christ died for all of our sins? According
to the scripture, all folks, some day you're born, in
the day you die, you tiny's your greatest They all
went on Jesus, They went in him, and he was
(49:02):
actually turned into your sin. If that's not being up
close and personal, If that's not the ultimate stage of love,
to be turned into another person's sin because you want
to take that sin away from them, you want to
deliver them from that. There's no I don't know how
you could describe love in a greater way so that
so it cries God for all of our sins. According
(49:24):
to the scripture. This is one Corinthians fifteen, that he
was buried and that he rose in the dead, according
to the scriptures. Folks, that's the simple gospel. Believe that
Jesus died for all your sins, was buried and rose
in the dead. Now you have to repent. That's part
of your belief system. It's a belief. It's not an action.
It is a belief. Repentance is when you believe you
cannot save yourself. You're hopeless and helps without God, destined
(49:45):
to a burning hell. When you come to that point
in your life, that brings you to the level of
humility where you can finally listen to God and believe him.
The the scriptures, God resisteth the proud, but give with
grace to the humble. Repent folks. Godly sorrow work with
repentance unto salvation. And the Scriptures says, so when you
realize just how rotten you are, and I mean rotten,
what a humongous loser you are before your creator, perhaps
(50:07):
that would create enough humility for you then to really
trust God and believe that Jesus did die for all
your sins was better than worse. That you'll put faith
alone in Christ alone. Well, folks, these things are all
very important and very necessary for you to know God
and to come into His kingdom, to be born again,
to be a child of God, folks. But you know,
there's something else happening now these days, and that is
(50:31):
a great movement for children. It's called child Evangelism and Fellowship.
It's the oldest and the largest children's ministry in the
world outside of your mainline denominations. It was started back
in the I believe in the forties by a wonderful
old preacher named overholts Reverend Overholtzer, and he'd been a
(50:52):
preacher of a local church, very legalistic church, and one
day he found out that we're saved by grace and faith.
It's a free gift. We can't work for it, we
can't be good enough for it, because we're just not
good enough Scripture says all of our righteouses so as
filthy rats. And so he thought he would start teaching
that in his church and preaching it. It was a
reference like the same thing that happened to Martin Luther.
(51:14):
And of course he ran into the politics of his church,
and he got kicked out of his church. He says,
like Martin Luther, and he so he didn't know what
to do, but he noticed that children were listening to him.
And in his church they had said a child can't
know God till they're twelve years old. But Overholts were
seeing young kids in the neighborhood, even his grandchildren and whatnot,
(51:35):
responding to biblical things. He thought, you know that, I
think that was not good doctrine, sound doctrine that any
kid can know Jesus. In fact, that Jesus said, suffer
the little children. It means really little children, by the
way in the Greek, to come to me, for if
such is the Kingdom of God. He said, unless you
come as a little child, you shall a no wives
enter in that in no way gives any church a
(51:57):
foundation to exclude kids. No matter how young they are,
they can respond to the Gospel, and I did when
I was very very young, way before the age, so
to speak. So, folks, this man took off by himself
with no money and ended up creating the largest children's
(52:18):
ministry in the world outside of your mainland denominations. What
a story, what a testimony, What a remarkable message for
all of us that no matter how little we are,
like Charlie Kirk, was so little when he started, and
he worked out of a garage, and even the Republican
Party thirty is kind of crazy. Look at the impact
that man had in eleven years. It doesn't matter how
big you are. It just matters that you obey God
(52:40):
and follow God. That's what really counts, and God's going
to bless that and greatly expanded trust him, Folks, like
Overholtzer did, to live your Christian life the way you
should be living it. When you are born again, you
are guaranteed heaven, but you're not guaranteed a godly life.
That's the next step where you have to start seeking
how to live godly, how to follow Christ, how to
(53:04):
uh follow him and learn how to fish, take up
your fishing pole. May be a fisher of men of souls,
be a soul fisher bringing people to Christ. How to
take up your cross. That's not fun, but it's part
of growing up as a Christian. So, folks, it is
time for us to close as were now close with
the Monde Saint Martin singing a creole goodbye and God
(53:26):
bless you all out there.
Speaker 4 (53:32):
We call you cel goodbye.
Speaker 1 (53:37):
They think we're just wasted time for me all three Simon,
there's time for a Creo goodbye.
Bid holes, the diliticians, the dress of digitators and magicians
first to see the money. They just don't. There's nothing
to fill the holes while then are filling their pockets
bid holes, the politicians bouncing down the road. Every body's
(00:21):
with shin for no mob corruption and itsfunction. It's gonna
take you divide its offens.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
God bless all out there. You are now listening to
the founders. So the voice of the founding fathers, You're
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
(00:53):
Spanish moss way out on the Eagles Branch, is none
other than your s Bengary Baby, the Republic chapin High
mc henry. Folks, it's gonna be exciting show. We're gonna
be talking about shutdowns. We're gonna be talking about travel
in the north West and the West Coast. We're gonna
be talking about taxes. And they assume new elections that
(01:13):
are coming. Uh, it's gonna be quiet. We're talking about Reagan,
great great part on Reagan in the Constitution. So, Folks,
without further ado, again, this is my partner.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Christopher Timmerman Rogan, a reporter, resident radical moderate and associate
editor of the Louisiana Weekly newspaper Louisiana Weekly dot Net
celebrating our one hundredth anniversary And Folks, where I am.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
I'm roving all.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Across the north of the country and the through Canada.
I started out in Spokane, went through Glacier National Park,
and passed into Canada just four hours before the government
shutdown was happening. And what I observed in the national
parks was interesting, particularly in Glacier. Things that normally stay
(02:00):
open until October seventh or beyond October fifteenth were starting
to close. And the reason they were closing was the
expectation that the national parks would close, but also that
they wouldn't have the.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Staff to do it because they wouldn't be paid.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
So, for example, the boat trips in late McDonald, which
normally last until October seventh, were closing.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
The lodges were closing.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
For all intents and purposes, the superstructure and infrastructure of
our national.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Parks was closing.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
The group of superintendents kind of recommended this, but they
also recommended the parks themselves close because they were worried
what would happen has already happened. The President, feeling that
there was a difficulty at least as advisors in closing
national parks at a high traffic period, decided to have
(02:52):
partial openings. Was just national parks without rangers. Let me
explain to you what happens. There have been graffiti, trash,
overwhelming impacts to the natural ecology, and all of this
in just about a week. It's one of the unforeseen
side effects of a government shutdown.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
There are many negative sides to a government shutdown. And
let me be the first.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Person to point out that the argument for a clean
cr was one that Republicans had rejected when Bill Clinton
wanted it, and Democrats are now rejecting as Trump wins it.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Of course, this all boils down to.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
The budgetary cuts that happened effectively under the Medicaid program.
There's been a few myths going around. I'd been saying
only three percent. For example, A lot of things out
of the Trump administration have been we're stopping illegal immigrants
from getting health care. Well, the fact is I've been
(03:52):
saying only three percent of the funding was going to
illegal migrants. Actually I was wrong. It's point five to
seven point zero five seven percent. It is less than
one half of one percent. Let's assume that those accurate
numbers are inaccurate, and it is three percent, it's a
(04:14):
higher number. That means almost all the cuts are going
to actual American citizens who were for the most part,
overwhelmingly like ninety plus percent born here, who are legal,
who are in every sense of the word, and who
are without basic health care. We've watched in a week
healthcare clinics close. We were watching essentially suspension of services
(04:38):
in many parts of the country. And that's already happened
without the government shutdown. What's happening with the government shutdown
is a lot of emergency funds that go through are
being arrested. It's affecting many parts of our country, the
arts and all this. As somebody who helps run an opera,
I know very much the dependency of federal funds to
(04:59):
keep artistic education and planning going, and it affects If
you cut off funds now, it will affect the next
two to three years of planning and providing educational programs.
It doesn't really affect the major, major shows, the houghity
toity go to. It affects whether we bring music into
our schools, into our libraries. It affects whether we bring
(05:20):
art to kids, because that's where that money goes. It
doesn't go to the hoity toity stuff, folks, It goes
to our children. So we're one week into the government
shutdown high one week into more actually a week and
a half, and at the same time, no deal seems
on the horizon.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
What do we do about this?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
The fact is we're at an impasse and the President
is enjoying this. He is able to basically not fund
things he doesn't want to do, which is not what
the Constitution says we are. After all, the Founders show
high and the Founders a specific on this point.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
They were afraid of this.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
They believed Congress should have to control the purse strings
and the powered to attacks and the power to spend.
Part of the President's frustration over tariffs that he can't
do what he wants is the fact the Founders specifically
gave that power to Congress, the powered attacks and therefore
the power to tariff, and he referenced the issue of tariffs.
(06:25):
They also gave the right to Congress to authorize budgets
and over the years, and this is a bipartisan problem.
We have allowed a majority of the Senate in the
House to decide the budget, but a super majority decide
whether we can spend it.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
This is an unsustainable system on both ends.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Frankly, as an adherent of the federalist papers of Madison,
Hamilton and j I believe the Senate is the cooling
plate of our republic. To quote Hamilton, the idea the
saucer that cools the water. For those that don't know,
the reason cups have saucers originally was so you could
(07:08):
put the tea into the saucer and whether make it
cooler because you would boil the water for the tea.
It's not there some kind of fancy accouterment. Anyway, It
was supposed to be the cooling saucer. And for it
to be a cooling saucer, you have to have a
supermajority to do things. And look, I'm going to be
the first person to say it. It was the Democrats
who got rid of it. For cabinet appointments and for
(07:29):
Supreme Court for judges, Republicans have got to write it
for Supreme Court judges. But even I don't blame them
for that because Democrats are pretty much done for everybody else.
So the fact of the matter is we're going to
this majoritarian rule of the majority, and that's not what
a republic is. A republic is supposed to be, by definition,
(07:53):
a protection of the rights of the minority, while still
respecting the power.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Of the majority.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
That's why we're not a demos or a res PUBLICA
demos means rule of the demos, Kasi means rule of
the many, Respublika means of the rest. It usually was sentate,
popularist press, pupil of the Senate and people of Rome
the idea that there was a mixture of power, and
(08:23):
ultimately this entire shutdown is not demonstrating a mixture of power.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
It's the Republicans want their way and that's it. And look,
Democrats acted the same way, but there's one difference.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
The medicaid cuts that the president are seeking were approved
by sixty votes in the Senate. They were taken away
by fifty plus a tie breaking vote with the Vice president.
So this argument is over something that a super majority approved,
(08:58):
albeit an unusual circumstances where we had two wave elections
and a collapse, and it was a Democratic majority, but
it was a super majority, and I think that needs
to be remembered as we try to negotiate some kind
of deal here.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Your thoughts high, Oh, Christopher, My heart and mind are
pregnant with thoughts on this topic as I'm going to
have to point out some mistakes you've made here. I'm concerned,
very concerned for you, Christopher, because I really believe your
Trump Trump derangement syndrome DTS is doing you in. It's
(09:33):
really affecting your inte like you're not able to think
clearly and completely because you're so screaming, raging, filled with
hatred for Donald Trump. To say it, it's like you
can't say good about the guy no matter what. I
don't care what he does. He's come with the greatest
peace plan they've Everbody's caused more peace around the world
than any president in the history of the world. And
you know, the Democrats and you are acting like there's
(09:57):
nothing to it. You know, it just all kind of
happened by acts, and I guess Trump had nothing to
do with it. Of course, the Nobel prize is so
political to the left, he may never get it, which
is really sad. That is shut get is a demonstration
of how dangerous and how sickening Trump derangement syndrome is.
(10:17):
What that is, folks, is when you have a personality
class for some reason, you don't like somebody and you
develop an extreme hatred for them and maybe for the
rest of your life, and it's very dangerous. They live
rent free in your brain. So let's look at all
these things. Talking about the parks, right, we love the parks.
I love the parks. You're doing a great job with
the parks, CHRISO for giving tours on them, and you
know a whole lot about them. I spent a lot
of time at National parks myself, and you know I
(10:40):
can live in a back with a backpack and a tent.
I did it. I've done it a lot for months,
you know, if you ate it all up, several years,
probably over my seventy five years of being on this earth. Anyway, folks,
this is what's going on with the parks. The heaven
starts shut non essential things and not the most important
thing down and and this is only happening. This is
(11:03):
the Schumer shut down. Never forget that Schumer shut down.
The Democrats are trying to pep Christopher forgot this. I
guess the Democrats are trying to push them one point
five trillion dollar increase on the budget. And it's all
for their favorite garbage. If you looked at some of
the stuff that they've been doing, it's insane. I'm talking
about dancing lessons for homosexuals and Haiti and on and
(11:26):
on and on. It's sick. It's sick what they're spent
trying or have been spending money on, and in some
cases still are. We're trying to cut all that out.
That's what Republicans are to get rid of the foolishness.
And and why do we have to pay all these
foreign countries all this and for all these insane activities.
What why are we doing this? That's what Trump is
after and he's been very successful at it. He got
(11:47):
the big beautiful bill passed. But now we've got we
have to continue the the funding of the country. The
continue to call the Sea our continuing resolution. And the
Republicans have asked for nothing extra. They've said, just leave
it like it is and we'll pass it. The Democrats
are demanding one point five trade. And one reason they're
(12:08):
doing this is because the Democrat Party is no longer
controlled by let's say, their their their leadership, their formal
official leadership, you know, the speaker, not the uh you know,
minority leader in the Senate and the minority leader in
the in the House. They're really not controlling the country.
They're in name only. You know who's controlling it a
very small group of extremely radical Democrats, communist Democrats, uh is,
(12:35):
militant Muslim Democrats. They are now controlling the entire Democrat Party,
and the leadership is terrified them. So whatever when they
say something, if they if AOC gives Schumer command, his
own replies, she says jump, his own replies, how high
it's gotten that bad? And that's what's really causing all this,
And it's going to cause a tremendous amount of struggle
(12:57):
and pain and suffering for government workers. Chrisopher just pointed
out it's gonna it's gonna cost cutting a funding for
important things like uh, you know, the arts and schools
and things like that. And Trump loves that, by the way,
he's not against that. Trying Tidmore tried to make it
look like he hates the arts, he hates schools. Now
he doesn't, folks. He's all for it, he says, for
(13:19):
doing it the right way instead of the stupid way.
And so you know, the common sense way, which Democrats
seem to have completely lost any concept of common sense. So, folks, uh,
this is is getting very interesting to say the least.
And like the Chinese said, pray that you don't live
in interesting times. But more to it than that. About
(13:41):
what Christopher just said. And oh, you know about the
parks being trashed, Yeah, they are being trashed. I wonder
who's trashing them. All the evidence on when parks get
trashed it's Democrats that are trashing the parks, Isn't that interesting?
For instance, the mall in Washington, d C. The Capitol
pl pray and hope or whoever the police are for
(14:02):
the de you know them all they pray and hope
that it'll be a conservative rally and movement because everything
is clean when they leave. When the Democrats are there,
the whole place is trashed, garbage all over the place,
of graffiti, you name it. That's the kind of stunts
that Democrats do, folks. Christopher kind of forgot to include
(14:23):
that in his talk about how the Trump the parks
are being trashed and what a tragedy, what a traged
to see our beautiful parks getting trashed like that. But
then that's the Democrat party. That's the Democrat most violent
party I think we've ever had in the history by far,
it's got to be, especially with what's happened in the
past ten twenty years. The Democrats are just very violent.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
You know.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Their movement literally murdered Charlie Kirk, murdered him, and you
can prove it through the websites and what the boy
was doing who killed Charlie Kirk, assassinated him. They have
weaponized websites to stir up their base to go out
and do violent acts, and they are doing it. And
then their leadership is setting up the targets. Oh he's
(15:04):
a Nazi. Oh that's Adolf Hitler, and the website's saying,
go on kill Adolf Hitler, go on kill the Nazis.
What do you think is going to happen, folks? Well, folks,
this is getting interested. And like I said, the Chinese
always say pray that you don't live in interesting times.
We better pray for this country because we are in
(15:25):
one serious state right now. And you got to lay
the blame right there at the chart at the Schumer
shut down. Schumer's the one who created this nightmare and
now won't budge because he's terrified of his communist leadership
in his party. Well, folks, I know, Christopher, you've got
some more good stuff to tell us. Uh, what's what's?
What else is coming around here? I can't wait to
(15:45):
hear your next your next thing for us. So take
it away, Christopher.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Now hi, all of this is going to come to
the fore by October fifteenth. That's when checks go out
to our troops. That's when checks go out to our
government employees. There's a twenty nineteen law that says if
you don't get checks, you get back pay. But what happened,
interestingly this past week is that a memo came out
of the White House that said, there's no guarantee that
if you miss a paycheck that you'll get back pay.
(16:14):
This is the essence of the strategy that Trump administration
is doing. How do you get rid of public employees
You can't fire, you just don't pay them. And this
is where this entire conversation is going through some bipartisan
horrendous situations. So let me pick on the Democrats for
a second. I believe the healthcare issue is legitimate. Having
(16:35):
said that, I'm not sure that's the reason why Chuck
Schumer is leading this revolt in a way he didn't for.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
The last CR.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
And it's because he's going to be challenged by Alexandria
or Tessi or Kutez. He Basically, if he gives in
on this cr the way he did last time, he
loses the leader of the Democratic Party in the United
States Senate loses his primary.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
So this political calculation is going here.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
On the other hand, their political calculations going, and this
is what's going on. It'll happen by our last broadcast
of the show. October thirteenth is when the checks have
to be processed, which is right after our Monday broadcast.
And October fifteenth is why. Is when they arrive in
people's banks accounts. Most federal employees are in direct deposit,
(17:29):
and so one of the things that is fascinating about
the entire debate is if they miss this deadline.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
The law is very specific.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
It simply says, okay, you don't pay them but they
get the back pay. That's an existing law. The Trump
administration is now saying, wait a second, we don't think
we have to pay them. That's the nose on the
Campbell's nose under the tent. That is the threat that
is going on by the Republicans. And that is also
(18:03):
the question of legality about all of this. Can Trump
ignore an existing law that says specifically that in the
time of a government shutdown, it says, if there's a shutdown,
this is the law High twenty nineteen. It was passed
very specifically by Republicans so that this could never you know,
(18:24):
it could never be the threat could never be used
against them by a Democratic Congress. That's that was the
whole idea behind it, and now it's being used in reverse.
Can this government shutdown be a vehicle to fire people effectively?
If not literally, because if you don't pay somebody, then
you've effectively fired them. If they don't get back pay
(18:48):
and you go on for six months, well, people can't
afford I mean unless you're independently wealthy. You know, people
for the most part can't afford it, or wouldn't be
willing to do it even if they could.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
So can can Trump do that.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
There's a lot of political calculations about this, and if
this thing doesn't get cured by the fifteenth, I think
we're in a totally different political environment. I worry though,
fundamentally about our troops not getting paid. I worry about
federal employees not getting paid, like our National Parks rangers,
like our CDC.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
I can go on and on.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
I don't know a way out of this because if
you're a Democrat, as I referred to in the last
segment that I did, this is something that they got.
This was a lifetime sixty votes, and they worry that
if they do give in, people don't get health care.
And it's only at zero point zero five seven percent
illegal immigrants?
Speaker 4 (19:45):
Is that less than three percent?
Speaker 3 (19:47):
As I said before, of all health care funding goes
to migrants not here legally, the emergency room provision less
than three percent of that. So this is americans we're
here legally who lose healthcare. Last on several million who
wins this gamble our troops or millions of Americans who
(20:10):
need healthcare?
Speaker 4 (20:12):
How would you you would vote to continue to see?
I know, hi, but how would you This is the question?
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Repose convince Democrats that it's in their political interest to
do this and give Trump a win.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
And how would you convince Trump the second question, to.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Obey the law and say, okay, look going on, but
everybody gets back pay when we agree to a deal.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
How do you do that?
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Which do you do that? And do you do both?
How are your thoughts well?
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Chrispher You bring up a very interesting situation, as you
often do, being the political pundent expert that you are,
even though I know we don't agree certain things. You
pull a little brain. I mean it's not Lila, I'm
sure you've got a big brain has been damaged by
your certain particular focus on Donald Trump. Anyway, Yeah, this
(21:02):
is very serious. People not getting paid, and medicare shutting
down or whatever, you know, the hospitals not being able
to provide the health care they have been providing. But
remember this now, this is directed toward illegal aliens who
have swamped our health care system, preventing Americans and veterans
from getting their health care. And their Americans, you know,
(21:24):
they paid the taxes for this. They pay have been
paying the bills. Why should they be denied to let
the illegal immigrants get it? This is wrong, Christopher. And
that's one of the things that's happening now, and that's
also one of the goals of Donald Trump is to
cut them off of every financial support the government can
give them. They're not Americans. Go back to their country
(21:45):
where they have their own welfare system or whatever and
lean on that, but not us anymore. We've got to
end this. The Democrats got over twenty million illegal aliens
into this country, with a huge number you know, several
hundred thousand being hardened criminals, are mentally ill people whatever.
They have trafficked over one hundred thousand kids, children into
(22:09):
this country for sex slavery. Folks, this has been very
evil what has been going on. The drugs are fit
and all that's coming. This is all happening right now.
It's a tactic to get rid of all that. To
help get rid of all that. Now, Holm's doing a
great job of finding them, rooting them out and getting
them out. But it's a huge job, folks. It's not
going to happen overnight. Think about how long it'll take
(22:30):
to get rid of that many people who are illegal aliens.
As far as the whole illegal alien picture goes, I
really believe that the ones that are good, and there
are plenty of them coming over that are good people.
But they have broken the law to come into this country.
So that makes the criminals. But they're good people. So
what do we do? They're here, Many of them are
entrenched in our lives now and I work out maybe
(22:52):
a third of the guys that work out with at
my gym and now they're illegals, don't speak English hardly.
I'm getting to be good friends with them, sharing a
gospel with them. They're nice people, I'm sure they're hardworking people. Uh,
and family people. One thing I like about most of
the well at least the Hispanics that are coming in,
and that's most of them. Uh, they're family people. They
are very family oriented. They have a great respect for
(23:13):
God and church and and and family values and boy
we need that. And and hard work. They're hard working folks.
So all that is good for America. So what I
would like to do is we're out the bad ones,
kick them out, and then find the good ones. And
you have to get them documented. You have because many
of these people are flying free. Nobody knows who they are,
(23:34):
where they are. They don't pay tax in it they're
just out of the system, but using our our system,
using our uh, you know, things that we do, our infrastructure,
you know, our hospitals are whatever.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
They're getting benefits from that, and some of them have
figured out how to get on the welfare system, and
Democrats protect them. They want that to happen. You see,
this is the future of the Democrat Party. The Democratic
Party has gotten so bad and so many people now
are alerted to it that even if they're Democrats, they
don't vote for them anymore. And the Democrats realize that.
So they've got to get a whole new voting block
or they're finished as a party. Are they Maybe they
(24:10):
could just change and come back to being reasonably decent,
good Americans and with a basic good American constitutional policy,
that would be wonderful. They might, they might have to,
but until then they're they're they The plan was get
all these illegals in and from then on out they
have a giant voting block that will guarantee them almost
complete control of the government. They gerrymander them into all
(24:32):
the different states where they are and and and radically
increase the Democrat base their vote and vote votes because
of population in the words California is all will get
another an extra five seats in Congress by these illegal aliens.
And this is happening all over the country where they're
increasing their vote count, their their their everything, and and
(24:54):
and and money because I mean that those states get
more money. Uh, that's what's behind the Demos plant. Why
do they open the doors and just say come in.
And they came in by the thousands and hundreds of
thousands daily with Biden t shirts on them. You know
they've been told Biden is your hebro. He's going to
get you into the US because that was the plan.
That was the Democrat plan. All the Trump with Trump
(25:17):
is doing is using every asset he has as a
president to stop this and reverse it. But back to
the good illegals, Let's say I think we had to
find a way for him to get registered as good voters,
and the Democrats don't want that now because let me
tell you some Democrats they're thinking and their policies a
much more akin to Republicans than yours. So you're liable
(25:38):
to have created one of the biggest mistakes you've ever made.
And instead of you getting that voting block, will get
it because I guarantee you. I know how these people.
I know them well. I've lived down in Mexico. I
love Latin American culture. My grandmother was a santana I
go on and on about how much close I am
to Latin American culture. They would make great Republicans. They're
(25:58):
already there, their minds and their hearts.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
And so.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
That's what I think is going on with what Chrisopher
just addressed about what the shutdown is doing. And it's time, folks,
for us to get hold of this thing and deal
with it. But we've got to stop the Schumer shut down.
The Democrats created this with their one point five treaty
in addition to the to the budget. Instead of just
what we were doing with the Republicans were doing what
(26:25):
Mike was doing with Johnson was saying, you know, speak
of the House was saying, leave it like it is.
We won't change a thing, and all the things that
you liked in the last budget you'll get to keep.
Just leave it like it is doing Stocrats said, no,
we want one point five trillion more dollars. And by
the way, a lot of this has to do with
getting w rid of Obamacare, which has turned out to
(26:45):
be a major disaster in this country. Obamacare is a
curse to the medical system, and almost everybody knows that now.
When they did the website, they couldn't get it right.
It was about a half It cost bout maybe a
half a million, maybe a million dollars build a website.
Michelle Obama got it to her good buddy who had
no background in the it world, and it cost us
(27:07):
one hundred million dollars for a million dollar website. Nice
private hunt, Michelle Obama. And then on top of that,
it didn't work. It took months, several months to get
it to work, and because she screwed it up so badly,
and to spend a whole lot more money now to
fix it. And when they finally started to work, people
lost everything. They lost their doctors, they lost their insurance. Everything.
(27:27):
Every promise Obama made he broke, he violated, and they
ended up with having much higher costs for their insurance.
Some people were markeaging their homes just to be able
to pay for their health insurance. This was a disaster
to the middle class. It was ruining the middle class.
And as far as the poor folks go, I worked
with poor folks. Folks I have a ministry with the
(27:47):
inner city poor and inner city kids. I'm with them
all the time. I know exactly what they're going through.
I'm in the hospital with them. I just got got
out of the hospital with when I'm just recently had
a premature baby. And I see what they get. I
see what they've been getting before Obamacare was over a round,
they got great treatment. My wife and I would look
at this way back then, before we had Medicare, and
we would say, gosh, I was ugly. We could afford
that kind of treatment. They got it for free. They
(28:10):
had good health care before Obamacare. They didn't need it.
In fact, it even jacked up and messed up some
of their health care programs. That's what Trump is part of.
This is to end Obamacare because it is a curse
to the healthcare system of this country and has been
since it was started. And that's why so many people
that bail from it. They do everything they can to
avoid it. That's the real story behind all those folks.
(28:32):
I'm glad you just heard it because you had to
hear from me. Christopher. You got to tell the whole truth.
Remember that. I know you're a good guy. I know
you mean well, but watch out the dts. It is
affecting your thinking Christopher and taking you away from common
sense thinking. And I hate to say it, you got
to even say from a moral viewpoint, hatred will always
destroy your morals always. That's why we're not to hate.
(28:54):
That's why we're to love as Christians. That's why we're
to turn the other cheek, do good to those who
just witefully use return good for evil. That's what I
have to do as a Christian. But if you're a Communist,
that doesn't exist. If you're a liberal, because they lean
to the left communism so much, that doesn't exist. If course,
if you're a radical Muslim, it absolutely doesn't exist. In
(29:14):
their Korean you're to kill Infidels, Christians, Jews and even heretics.
And folks, you know how sick this religion is. They
have killed many more of their own than they have
us Christians, Jews and infidels. It's like something like ten
times many Muslims have been killed by the Muslim terrorists
(29:35):
because they were quote heretics. It's an evil religion, folks.
I don't mean to get off from this, but you
know why not. There are a lot of these immigrants
that have come. They're Muslims, and we know there are
a lot of terrorist Muslims that got in Folks. It's serious,
This is very serious. So anyway, it is time for
us to take a break. Thank you, Christopher. We'll be
back right after the break, God bless you, and we'll
(29:56):
see and just a little bit.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
Rescue, recovery, re engagement.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
These are not just words.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
These are the action steps we at the New Orleans
Mission take to make a positive impact on the homeless problem.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Facing the greater New Orleans area.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Did you know in twenty twenty, homelessness in our community
increased by over forty percent. We are committed to meet
this need through the work being done at the New
Orleans Mission. We begin the rescue process by going out
into the community every day to bring food, pray, and
share the love of Jesus with the hopeless and hurting
(30:40):
in our community. Through the process of recovery, these individuals
have the opportunity to take time out, assess their life
and begin to make new decisions to live out their
God given purpose. After the healing process has begun and
lives are back on track, we walk each individual as
(31:00):
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 a stepping stone out of that life of
destruction and into a.

great issues in this work. I mean, we're dealing with
the inner city poor, inner city kids. And believe me,
there's never a dull moment. We have seen five thousand,
about about five thousand come to Christ over the past
(32:19):
twenty seven years, we've seen hundreds go on to live
very productive and successful lives that we would have never expected,
never thought, never seen, and it's been a wonderful work.

So about further dude, it's time for us to get
back into this show in the meat of the show,
and again Chris has got some more great insights for
(34:17):
us on his next topic, which is going to be
about Ronald Reagan. Let's hear what he has to say
by Reagan.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Well, Hi, I'm my latest entry to you.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
I've been traveling, but I'm near the end of my trip,
and before we get back to experiencing the Canadian situation,
I had to put up something pretty positive. I'm in
Santa Barbara, and not only did I get to explore
this wonderful town, but I actually got to visit the
Reagan Ranch Museum. For those that do not know, the
(34:49):
Western White House was right above Santa Barbara, and the museum,
run by the Young Americas Foundation, is one of the
fantastic locations. As Reagan's jeep, it has the actual tax
cut he signed, pictures of him and the Queen, and.
Speaker 6 (35:04):
His boots that he did, his chainsaw, that he cut
all the brambles, and I always think about that.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
Ron Reagan's relaxation was not to play golf for tennis,
though he could play them. It was that he loved
manual labor on his ranch.
Speaker 6 (35:19):
In fact, he would have to make his staff build
in time so he could cut brambles or this. They
weren't photo ops. It was that he found truth in
actual work, not just labor work, but the physical labor.
And at the time all of this was going on,
ladies and gentlemen. Ron Reagan was in his mid seventies
and he was out there cutting. But he did find
(35:40):
a very interesting story at the museum that the docent
was kind enough to show me around.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
Told me. He said, one time he was cutting a
tree branch and.
Speaker 6 (35:51):
He was having a situation where it was coming in
and it cut too fast and it came towards his leg.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
The chance on switch to shut off, but he didn't
shut off us, and so we had a very minor cut.
It was bleeding. Though.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
His biggest fear was that, you know, don't let missus
Reagan know, don't let Nancy.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
No, don't let Nancy go.
Speaker 6 (36:11):
And so they kept it for a few days and
the family, the first lady found out and she was
sort of rampage.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
He gainst the security step. He's seventy four years old.
He got a shade saw it. You're not watching him,
I think is at Ronald Reagan sometimes reminds me.
Speaker 6 (36:28):
Of you laboring around at seventy four high. I will
say that, but I also think of Reagan as my hero.
He remains my hero in politics.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
You know, everybody assigns me in the Winston Churchill and
Churchill certainly as a vice president of Churchill Society. He
remains one of my great heroes in life. But Ronald
Reagan is my American political hero. He and for the
reasons that weren't.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
Ronald Reagan, you forget, signed one.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
Of the biggest what we would call amnesty bills for
Mexican Americans. Ronald Reagan pioneered free trade and what would
become the North American Free Trade Agreement. Ronald Reagan believe
and peace through strength, but he believed in NATO. He
believed international institutions. Ron Reagan believed in negotiation, but he
believed in trust but verify.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
Even the former.
Speaker 6 (37:14):
Premier of the Soviet Union, General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev, who
he would negotiate with, who became a close friend of
his and was one of the only people who visited
him at the ranch after both of them retired, he
never trusted Gorbachev, a much more trustworthy figure, the way
that frankly, Donald Trump has trusted Vladimir Putin kind of pointlessly.
(37:38):
Rond Reagan in all aspects was the great president. And
the thing that I respect most is I remember a
story about Reagan and he was in the White House.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
It was a particularly warm day in the air condition
wasn't working.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
That wealthy of office, and he said, mister President, you
know that somebody you could take off your coat, And
he says.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
Absolutely not in the oval office.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
I could never disrespect this office by taking off my coat,
by anything but being in a moment of total reverence
for this temple.
Speaker 6 (38:08):
I wish we had more of that in politics today.
I don't see the current president displaying that level of honor.
Speaker 4 (38:14):
Or that level of tradition.
Speaker 5 (38:16):
Are your thoughts high?
Speaker 2 (38:17):
I'm sure you disagree, well, Christopher, I don't necessarily disagree
with you. We don't disagree on everything, and at least
we've maintained our well behaved posture of maybe we disagree.
I made this rule up when I first started the show,
way before Christopher was on, and that is because I
had people calling in and they it's pretty wild. People
(38:37):
scream and holler and everything Liberals, of course, And the
rule was this, we may not always agree, and we
will not always agree, so let's just agree to disagree,
but not be disagreeable. And when someone crossed that line,
kicked them off the show. All right. As far as
Reagan being the great man that he was, like you said,
I agree with you, Christopher, And I'm so glad you
(38:59):
have such admiration from respect for the man. I could
go on and on. We don't have time to say
that the wonderful things we could say about Reagan one day.
Maybe we just need to show on Reagan one day,
we really do. And you're so you know so much
about him. You're a real expert on him, Christopher. That
would be a great show. So and I have my
own knowledge of him. One thing I remember about Reagan
was really great. There's a big party in DC, you know,
the White House, and they had all the dignitaries there
(39:20):
from all around the world whatnot. And Trump, being a
rising star in New York City, the great builder that
he is and was, he was invited and he was
there and he met Reagan. Reagan was going run through
the growade, shaking hands, meeting people. He met Donald Trump
and he had a nice little conversation with him. When
he walked away, he told his aide he said, you
know what I thought, I was just talking to the President.
(39:42):
What does that say for Reagan's wisdom and intuition about
great leadership? It says a lot. And you're really wrong
about putin and Trump and all that. But anyway, that
takes too long to work those waters, and we really
don't have time to go into that. He didn't He
doesn't trust Pootin any more than Reagan trusted Gorbachev, I
(40:05):
can assure you. But he's really nice, very nice. That's
one way you win, folks, when you're negotiating, be very nice.
When you can when it's a good time to be
very nice, be very nice. You get a whole lot
more like, let's say, catch more bees with honey than
you do with vinegar. So, folks, this has been such
a great show. We have more togalo those and we're
(40:26):
not Christmas got last really interesting, great thing to share
with us. So Christopher take it away.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
Well, with one election coming to an end, we have
another election coming up just in about a month, and even.
Speaker 4 (40:43):
With all the changes and decisions.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
That happened on October eleventh, this election is kind of major.
It's the idea of rolling forward millages and raising taxes
to create affordable housing, and the idea of having a
government fund in orleanssh to raise affordable housing.
Speaker 4 (41:02):
You know, I'm not opposed to, but I will tell
you this.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
They want the city council wants new taxes out of
this proposal in November, new property taxes on top of
having rolled forward millages on us as the citizenry of
New Orleans without a public vote. Now, there have been
times I've supported taxes. There are legitimate reasons for taxes.
Having said that, there's never a legitimate reason to roll
(41:28):
forward milages.
Speaker 4 (41:29):
This is the process.
Speaker 3 (41:30):
When your house is valued, you revalued and it's valued
more that the milage rate. The law says that you
have to roll it back, but you can get a
stealth tax increase by rolling it forward.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
To the same level.
Speaker 3 (41:42):
This is what city councils do without consulting the electorate.
And this is something Litori Cantrell has pioneered in her.
Speaker 4 (41:50):
Service in office.
Speaker 6 (41:51):
The only time spent authorities when the council vote is
against them and they voted to roll it forward.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
And as long as they do that without any public vote,
I think giving them.
Speaker 4 (42:01):
More tax dollars is not a good idea.
Speaker 3 (42:03):
They want to row back the ledges and seek all
of it in a public vote for tax dollars. Great,
but until the council is willing to do that, it's
just getting too expensive. To live in Orleans Parish. That
should not be something that is considered next month.
Speaker 4 (42:18):
Here's thought time.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
Oh row Chris for great thoughts. You got some great ideas.
Folks are killing us with taxes and it's unnecessary. It's
just the greed of our politicians. They want to spend
as much money as they can because they're all there
lined up with their shell corporations getting their take of
the action. And that's really what's going on. They don't
need all this money. They want all this money, and
(42:40):
look at the results. We get lousy city services. That's
always what happens when when criminals start stealing and cheating
and everything else the actual job they're supposed to be doing.
I say criminals meaning politicians are politicians. Guess what. Guess
what you get garbage for city government. And that's what
(43:01):
we've got. Look at the insanity of our city government.
It's a disgrace, it's a shame. And Christopher, your soul right,
we need to do something to fight this and stop this, folks.
So it is time for us to take another break.
We'll be right back after this brief commercial announcement with
the Chaplin about patriotic moment and gospel moment.

One way you help the creative economy is to support
local bookstores, the place where local authors actually have a
shot at getting their books out and the one that
has done more to launch local authors than anywhere else
in the country. From Anne Rice to James Lee Burke
to many others across the metro area and the nation,
including John Kennedy. Tool is the Garden District Bookshop the
(44:23):
corner of Washington and Britannia. For forty three years, the
Garden District book Shop has been there for you to
provide a local alternative for everything from children's books to cookbooks,
to Louisiana history to the leading fiction and nonfiction authors
coming out.

Battles politicians.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
Well, folks are back and you are listening to the
Founder's show, and it's not time for us to go
into our chaplain. Bye Bay, patriotic moment. We just take
a brief moment to remind you of the biblical foundations
of our country, our judio Christian jurisprudence. And today we
want to talk about Ronald Reagan, President Reagan. We had
something about him earlier in the show. Here's a quote
from Reagan. Politics and morality are inseparable because only those
(46:12):
humble enough to admit there since it can bring to
democracy the tolerance it requires in order to survive. So
you see what he's saying, the same thing that Madison
who wrote the Constitution. He said that the that the
Ten Commandments were vital for the success of the Constitution
because it gave the people morality, and without that morality,
(46:33):
the constitution is worthless. It doesn't work. And here Reagan's
saying that you need that kind of tolerance in democracy
that it brings in words to give and take. Unlike
what's happening right now in Congress where one side is
demanding at all one an extra one point ten one
point five trillion dollars and they're stomping the feet and
(46:55):
demanding to keep the government shut down till they get it.
There's no tolerance there, folks. There's no morality obviously, especially
when you see what they want to spend the money on.
And so, folks, we need that kind of morality back
in government and back in the and we the people
has to be we the people. We're going to make
America great again. Good. I'm all for that. I'm working
very hard for it. But it's not going to go
(47:16):
very well. Uh, it just kind of fizzle out unless
we the people are the ones who are driving this.
We the people the ones who are bringing a solid
biblical morality back to the government. Back to the country,
back to ourselves, and then we will see a true
Maga movement and a changing and a saving of this
(47:37):
country like we never thought possible. We need God back
in America. We need revivals. As Ronald Reagan also said
that the Bible is a foundation for all of our morality.
Reagan was such an amazing man. All right, well, it
is now time for us to go into being understanding
how we can get that morality. That's important. How do
you get it? Well? The Bible says that when you
(47:59):
are born again, as we now go into our chapel
by by gospel moment, that means your dead and dying
spirit has become fully alive because the Holy Spirit has
come into your spirit and taking it from death to life.
The Bible says, you need that, folks, We all need that.
You could be the greatest patriot that ever lived. But
if you died and went to hell, what good would
(48:19):
it do you? It do you nothing. I don't care
how good of a biblical patriot you were. You have
to know Jesus up closed and personal. The Bible says,
His righteousness comes in you. That's morality, folks, That's how happens.
The scripture says, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and
thou shalt be saved. Okay, great, believe believe what I mean,
just believe believe on Jesus. Well, that's good. That's a
(48:41):
good start. That gets you going in the right direction.
The Bible says, But let me tell you what you
need to believe. The scripture says, a gospel is the
power of God and the salvation. Okay, great, what's the gospel?
It says? Who's ever believer that says that The gospel
is that Christ died for all of our sins? According
to the scripture, all folks, some day you're born, in
the day you die, you tiny's your greatest They all
went on Jesus, They went in him, and he was
(49:02):
actually turned into your sin. If that's not being up
close and personal, If that's not the ultimate stage of love,
to be turned into another person's sin because you want
to take that sin away from them, you want to
deliver them from that. There's no I don't know how
you could describe love in a greater way so that
so it cries God for all of our sins. According
(49:24):
to the scripture. This is one Corinthians fifteen, that he
was buried and that he rose in the dead, according
to the scriptures. Folks, that's the simple gospel. Believe that
Jesus died for all your sins, was buried and rose
in the dead. Now you have to repent. That's part
of your belief system. It's a belief. It's not an action.
It is a belief. Repentance is when you believe you
cannot save yourself. You're hopeless and helps without God, destined
(49:45):
to a burning hell. When you come to that point
in your life, that brings you to the level of
humility where you can finally listen to God and believe him.
The the scriptures, God resisteth the proud, but give with
grace to the humble. Repent folks. Godly sorrow work with
repentance unto salvation. And the Scriptures says, so when you
realize just how rotten you are, and I mean rotten,
what a humongous loser you are before your creator, perhaps
(50:07):
that would create enough humility for you then to really
trust God and believe that Jesus did die for all
your sins was better than worse. That you'll put faith
alone in Christ alone. Well, folks, these things are all
very important and very necessary for you to know God
and to come into His kingdom, to be born again,
to be a child of God, folks. But you know,
there's something else happening now these days, and that is
(50:31):
a great movement for children. It's called child Evangelism and Fellowship.
It's the oldest and the largest children's ministry in the
world outside of your mainline denominations. It was started back
in the I believe in the forties by a wonderful
old preacher named overholts Reverend Overholtzer, and he'd been a
(50:52):
preacher of a local church, very legalistic church, and one
day he found out that we're saved by grace and faith.
It's a free gift. We can't work for it, we
can't be good enough for it, because we're just not
good enough Scripture says all of our righteouses so as
filthy rats. And so he thought he would start teaching
that in his church and preaching it. It was a
reference like the same thing that happened to Martin Luther.
(51:14):
And of course he ran into the politics of his church,
and he got kicked out of his church. He says,
like Martin Luther, and he so he didn't know what
to do, but he noticed that children were listening to him.
And in his church they had said a child can't
know God till they're twelve years old. But Overholts were
seeing young kids in the neighborhood, even his grandchildren and whatnot,
(51:35):
responding to biblical things. He thought, you know that, I
think that was not good doctrine, sound doctrine that any
kid can know Jesus. In fact, that Jesus said, suffer
the little children. It means really little children, by the
way in the Greek, to come to me, for if
such is the Kingdom of God. He said, unless you
come as a little child, you shall a no wives
enter in that in no way gives any church a
(51:57):
foundation to exclude kids. No matter how young they are,
they can respond to the Gospel, and I did when
I was very very young, way before the age, so
to speak. So, folks, this man took off by himself
with no money and ended up creating the largest children's
(52:18):
ministry in the world outside of your mainland denominations. What
a story, what a testimony, What a remarkable message for
all of us that no matter how little we are,
like Charlie Kirk, was so little when he started, and
he worked out of a garage, and even the Republican
Party thirty is kind of crazy. Look at the impact
that man had in eleven years. It doesn't matter how
big you are. It just matters that you obey God
(52:40):
and follow God. That's what really counts, and God's going
to bless that and greatly expanded trust him, Folks, like
Overholtzer did, to live your Christian life the way you
should be living it. When you are born again, you
are guaranteed heaven, but you're not guaranteed a godly life.
That's the next step where you have to start seeking
how to live godly, how to follow Christ, how to
(53:04):
uh follow him and learn how to fish, take up
your fishing pole. May be a fisher of men of souls,
be a soul fisher bringing people to Christ. How to
take up your cross. That's not fun, but it's part
of growing up as a Christian. So, folks, it is
time for us to close as were now close with
the Monde Saint Martin singing a creole goodbye and God
(53:26):
bless you all out there.
Speaker 4 (53:32):
We call you cel goodbye.
Speaker 1 (53:37):
They think we're just wasted time for me all three Simon,
there's time for a Creo goodbye.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
