Live from Canada, Christopher joints Hy from the middle of the St. Lawrence River, traveling down the waterways of historic “New France”. He talks about visiting the original home of Charles LeMoyne and how Montreal was the parent of New Orleans.
We also talk about the looming loss of a congressional seat, and the fact that the loss of population is not only causing that possibility, but our real economic problems. In 2024, just over 52,000 babies were born in Louisiana, according to preliminary data. That’s a 17% drop from 2013, when more than 63,000 births were recorded. It's the lowest number of births the state has seen in decades. The decline began gradually around 2015 but has accelerated in recent years. While fertility rates are falling across the country, Louisiana’s trend is amplified by a loss of women in their reproductive years. From 2013 to 2023, the number of women aged 15 to 44 in Louisiana fell by more than 29,000, a 3.1% decline. Nationally, that group grew by nearly 5%.
We then turn to the New Orleans Mayor’s Race. Judge Arthur Hunter exited the New Orleans mayor’s race and endorsed state Sen. Royce Duplessis on August 7. If Hunter’s supporters transfer to Duplessis, the state senator is heading for a runoff slot, likely facing City Council Vice President Helena Moreno.
Huey Long had a strategy when he campaigned. He would come to a town and ask one of his local supporters who was the most powerful person in that town. They might reply, for example, Mr. Smith. Huey would then get on his proverbial soapbox, and he would begin to rail against Mr. Smith. He would talk about the damage that Mr. Smith was doing, and how the people had to rise up against Mr. Smith.
His supporters would exclaim, “You can’t attack Mr. Smith like that!”
Huey would reply, “If Mr. Smith is the most powerful person in town, that means there’s a lot of people who don’t like Mr. Smith.”
It’s a strategy that Duplessis has been employing as he attempts to skyrocket in the polls past Councilman Oliver Thomas and into the runoff. The issue which the state senator chose, governmental dysfunction over trash collection in the French Quarter and negotiations over Cantrell’s contract with Henry Consulting, may be problematic. However, it has helped him rise in the polls, and earn a very valuable endorsement from Hunter.

By holes. The politicians addressed the digitators and magicians first
to see the money. They don't there's nothing to fill
the holes while then fill in their pockets by holes.
The politicians bouncing down the road. Everybody's wition for no
(00:24):
more corruption and dysfunction. It's going to take divide His avention.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Broadcasting line from Canada where we look at the New
Orleans Mayor's race and author Hunter drops out at an
announcement at one o'clock on Thursday and endorses race to
pless us.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
The mayor's race is completely on its ear.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
We're also talking about the connections between Montreal, New Orleans
and a really big problem with a falling birth rate
in New Orleans. That and more on this edition of
The Founder's Show.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
And God bless all out there. You are now listening
to The Founders Show, 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
(01:15):
on top of that old Liberty cypress tree traped in
Spanish moss, way out on the Eagles Branch is none other,
then you'll spend Gary Bay by all the republic Chaplain
Hi mcgnry, who with.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Christopher Timmolly, your roving reporter, resident radical moderate Mississi editor
of the Louisiana Weekly newspaper, a Louisiana Weekly dot net.
And if you hear a slight breeze in the background,
a slight hum in the distance, and a slight bit
of a wave against the sea wall, what you're hearing
is one of the largest dams and lock systems on
(01:53):
the Saint Lawrence Seaway. That's where I am at the
Carrylin Lock in Quebec Province, transversing the Saint Lawrence Seaway
on the Canadian Empress riverboat. It is an experience I'm
doing three times this summer on a lecture tour and
writing a bit about the importance of the Saint Lawrence Seaway,
(02:14):
how it affects us all the way to this day.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
It actually completed the river travel across.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
The Louisiana Purchase, because when the Saint Lawrence Seaway was done,
you could go literally directly from the Atlantic without all
the way to the Great Lakes, from Chicago into the
Mississippi down to New Orleans, or all the way up
to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, if you wanted all by water.
It was the connecting of a continent, even a way
that the Erie Canal could not do for large ships.
(02:42):
And it did flood quite a few villages along the way,
over sixty towns and cities, so much so that they
took the historic buildings and want and created a village
of it. So that's a living history village. But it
is an experience of travel. And I'm up here in
Canada talking about sort of the political situation between Canadians
(03:05):
and the United States. You spend time on the border
regions of Canada and you realize how much our economies
are intertwined. Canada is not a separate nation, not economically.
Yes it has a separate currency, and yes, it definitely
has a separate idea of itself. It is never going
(03:26):
to be the fifty first state, and that wouldn't be
a very good political idea if it were, because they're
ten Canadian provinces, so it would be the fifty first
through sixtieth state, and Republicans could probably win.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Two, maybe Alberta, maybe Saskatchewan. That's it. So politically Canada
joined the United States.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Not great for the GOP, however, as an economic partner,
it's incredibly important. And you see that they are factories
all the way along the border. So where I am
in Quebec is just north, of course, of many parts
of New England, and the economies are intertwined.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Ontario is even more, which is just.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
North of Detroit and Michigan, where the auto industry is
completely you know, across the border intertwined. And so we're
going to talk a little bit on today's show about
the impact of the tariffs. We're I was going to
talk a little local politics about what New Orleans is
spending on its various office space.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Are we wasting money?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Well, you're going to find out that we could buy
an office building for the price of what we're spending.
That's some tax measures and what's happening in the Senate
and local elections. All this on this edition of The
Founder's Show. Your thoughts high on being in Canada.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Oh many thoughts, Christopher. Canada is such a beautiful country.
One thing I love about it is it's lowly, lowly populated,
which means you've got lots of elbow room, which is
what Old Daniel Boone always was looking for. You can
really get lost in Canada in the wilderness. It's and
it's huge, It's it's just one of the largest countries
(05:00):
in the world. It's amazing how large it is and
taking you all the way up to the Arctic and
the rocky mountains of Canada. Oh my goodness. It's a
beautiful state. I mean, a beautiful country. Slip. I don't
think it will become another American state. Trump's playing with
us when he does that. He's this kid. He's getting
(05:20):
people all upset. That's all. That's a tactic Trump has
done all of his life. But anyway, I'm glad you're
up there, Christopher. What an amazing life you've led, traveling
all around the world try you know, being an international
journalist as well as a local journalist. Uh and and
just the amazing travel that you do. It adds so
(05:42):
much to this show because we get to talking and
learn about all these places around the world, especially you know,
in the North American continent. Anyway, Christopher, I'm excited about
the rest of the stuff you have for us. So
take it away, my brother, and tell us about what's
going on with New Orleans City government. Property. Are they
handling it well a Christopher, probably not. What do they
(06:05):
ever do well? I don't know. Anyway, give us some
insights on this, Christopher. Take it away, my good man.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Hi, before I get back to Canada, I'm going to
turn our attention a little closer to home. And that's
how we're spending money in New Orleans, and we're doing
something that makes absolutely no economic sense. Now, I know
that's not the first time I've made a statement like
that about Orleans Parish.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
But follow me here.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Even the most ardent defender is going to wonder about
this one. Does the City Government High of New Orleans
waste money on Central Business District CVD rents when the
same amount of funds could be used to purchase any
of several full sized buildings within two blocks.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
In New Orleans City Hall.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
That's a question I posed in the current edition of
the Louisiana Weekly, And just to give you a point
of comparison, a couple of weeks ago, the Housing Authority
of New Orleans announced the decision to relocate most of
its one hundred seventy four employees from a gaggle of
dilapidated gentility offices to one five five to five Pointer Street.
Hannah joins the Department of Revenue and Taxation and other
(07:11):
city offices in the former Exxon Building. The nearby former
Amoco Building, now dubbed the Orleans Tower, holds more, including
the former one stop Permitting Department. It moved from the
fourth floor City Hall a few years ago because of
equally dilapidated conditions. And that's the point. Most city owned
office spaces all over town are in need of repairs
(07:34):
or replacement due to mounting delayed maintenance cost. City Hall
especially needs renovation or replacement at a time when, if
you've ever been there, elevators fail on a weekly basis
and pieces of sealing are known to fall upon.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
The average passer.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
By now, our current field of mayoral contenders have engaged
in this great debate about building a new city Hall,
one that would be large enough for the vast majority
of city Hall offices. Fine, whatever, but not one candidate
has spoken out about what the city will do with
the offices. In the years leading up to the funding
and construction of such an edifice of a city hall,
(08:12):
they just slowly move, or at least the current administration
has bit by bit these offices into commercial spaces at
huge cost, and the city treasury wastes money on ever
rising commercial rents. Let me give you let me outline
this for you a little bit better, folks. So it
makes sense many of the buildings close to the current
City Hall have gone up for sale. In fact, Gale
(08:36):
Benson herself reportedly bought fifteen to fifteen Poindress that's the
next building over, for twenty six million, four hundred and
seventy three seven hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Now, let me outline this.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
That's three point five million dollars less lower than the
building sold twenty five.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Years ago in two thousand.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It's a way of saying that twenty twenty five is
a good time to buy office real estate in the CBD.
So why are the council and the mayor wasting this opportunity?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Let me put this another way, folks.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
At fifty dollars per square foot, Benson's purchase is three
point three times what the City of New Orleans pays
for multiple office suites at fifteen dollars per square foot
for full service leases. Moreover, the next building over, fifteen
to fifteen Poydrass, like several other properties in the area,
was only twenty three percent occupied when sold, leaving enough
(09:34):
space for almost every city office space to move into
it at twenty seven floors that had plenty of room.
So I'm posing a question high, and I posed it
for the last two weeks, and no one's given me
an answer. Why is the City of New Orleans wasting
millions of dollars in commercial office rents when it could
purchase a building for barely more than the city allocates
(09:55):
for office rents two to three years. In other words,
we could put all of our spare office is, in fact,
every office in City Hall in one of these towers,
with room to spare, and spend less than we're spending
in three years. Why does this occur when every architect
and consultant the city Hall says that City Hall will
(10:16):
need major structural repairs or replacement in the next decade
and the leading offices have to go somewhere.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Now, this is the food for thought that I'm posing.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
To each of the mayoral candidates, and I'm hopefully going
to give them in our debate on August fifteenth. For
those that don't know, Hi and I are moderating a debate.
It was originally going to be at the rank now
it's going to be. It's gotten so big, so many
people want to come that. We're actually using the Walnut
Room at Lakefront Airport. If you've not been there, it's
beautiful since the renovation. It's all our deco. It's original,
(10:47):
it's perfectly preserved a scene as restaurant is catering. And
we're going to be moderating debate of all the mayoral candidates,
and I'm going to pose this question, why are we
wasting money? Your thoughts high Why can't we just simple
buy one of these empty buildings that are in good
shape at a fraction of the cost it takes us
to rid them.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Oh Christopher, what great insights you have here on our
city properties. Folks out there your properties, because they are
our public servants and those buildings belong to we. The
people never forget that. They wouldn't know that. They treat
us like we're there are little ponds and peons and peasants.
(11:30):
But folks, those buildings are ours and we deserve to
get the best for it. Imagine having one of those
beautiful high rises right there in Poetr Street, as you know,
part of our city hall, where maybe most of the
stuff you need to. You could go into those buildings,
and I have to deal with the falling down building
right there that they use, the City Hall, with the
(11:50):
rats running through it and the ceilings falling and everything else,
dust everywhere. It's not a very nice picture. Wouldn't it
be great if we had a really lovely building that
took care of so much of ours city business for
less money than we're paying right now? What's wrong with
these people? Their vacancies, their buildings for sale down there?
(12:12):
When are they going to get it together? Think about it, folks, Christopher,
great insights, and so I guess it's time for us
to be looking into what's going on with the mayor's race. Christopher,
can you tell us more about it? Take it away, Christopher.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Well, let's turn for a second to the latest developments
in the New Orleans mayor's race. Author Hunter had a
major announcement on Thursday. He's trying to get attention in
his campaign, but he's not doing it as well as
Royce to pless us. Now, a weird thing has happened
with this garbage contract in the French Quarter. For those
that haven't been following it, Sidney Taurres's ivy waste has
(12:50):
essentially been allowed to continue and Troy Henry's consulting firm,
that is three million dollars more, has been said, Well
you can the next mayor can decide this effectively.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
That's where we stand with the courts. It's on appeal
right now.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
But one of the things that Duplessis has done is said,
wait a second, does the council really have this power
with everything being equal, to assign this contract? And he
brought up you know, he said, wait, some pretty terrible
things were said about a New Orleans businessman, and is
(13:26):
there the evidence there?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Now?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
On the surface, this seems like it would be a
pretty insane thing to do. IVU waste is one of
the few things that has unified opinions in a positive
way in New Orleans. But it actually makes a certain
degree of sense, if you know, the dictum of Huey Long.
Hum Long used to come in and to a little
town and he'd ask one of his supporters who was
(13:51):
showing him around, who is the most powerful, most respected
man in town, or the most influential person here, and
they'd say something like mister Smith.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
So he would get on his soapbox.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
In the middle of the town square, and he would
start railing about mister Smith and how terrible mister Smith
is and how awful mister Smith is. And the supporters say,
you can't say that. You can't say that about somebody,
mister Smith, and.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
He says, if that man's so powerful, there are people who.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Hate mister Smith, and they just became loyal to me
going after mister Smith.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Well, the interesting thing has happened.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Duplessis has been rising in the polls because he's gone
after certain council members pretty directly, including the most assuredly
JP Morale, the very popular council president who has his detractors,
and I personally have a great respect in life Jp.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
But what it's been doing is by doing.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
That, it kind of has propelled him running against the
council and it's put Oliver Thomas, who's been the one
person who has sort of tried to stay by the
mayor's side in the middle, and Duplessis has been eating
into Oliver Thomas's support. Since his announcement for the mayor's race,
He's come into a strong third place, only two points
behind and within a statistical tie of Oliver Thomas. Thomas
(15:05):
is at sixteen, he's at fourteen the obviously Herlena Moreno,
is at forty seven percent, but she also sees that
all of the other supporters basically would unify whoever her
challenger is in the runoff.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Making this a pretty tired race.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
So it seems like sometimes coming into town and attacking
the big guy in town may be a pretty effective
political strategy. Duplessis, who said he wasn't running for mayor
obviously a year ago, got in this race right before qualifying,
and he's propelled himself past author Hunter, who spent this
press offense on Thursday talking about you know why he
(15:43):
should be thought of, and obviously it hasn't worked very well.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Your thoughts high, Yes, Christopher, it looks like we're going
to have another wallapaloozer for Ameo's race. It's getting hot
and heavy, even bringing in Huey Long tact the most
outrageous governor in the history of Louisiana. So this mayor's
rich is really heating up and looking very interesting. If
(16:08):
you like excitement, you like drama, well you need to
come in August and fifteenth and hear us moderate the
debate for the Mayor's folks it's going to get exciting. Well,
Chris fhy know, we got some more things to talk about,
and I want to hear about the economy, Newman's economy,
and the schools and our population growth and our how
(16:31):
they're going to, you know, set up the new representative
areas in this state. A wee get to jerrymander everybody
else is. It seems like, in fact, I've just recently
front of the Democrats jerry mander a whole lot more
than the Republicans do. Because of that, they've got more
House seats. So, uh, it's time of the Republicans to
start jerry mandering, or at least just cut it all
(16:53):
out and put things back the way they should be. Uh.
You know, I don't know how that's all going to
work out, but it's going to be interesting. It's going
to be. We've just had, as everybody knows, we've just
had a mass exodent of Texas politicians fleeing from having
to face the music of what they've been doing for years,
jerry mandering. So folks, let's hear about New Orleans our
(17:17):
economy here in the school. The school's everything to do
with our economy and and what about the like I
just mentioned, just mentioned it, the population of this fair state,
and we're going up, we're going down. What's happening, man?
We need help here in New Orleans and Louisiana. So
Chris wa take it away.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
You know how when we talk about economic development and
keeping our young people here, sometimes we really just sort
of gloss over it and we don't look at the
long term implications. There's this redistricting fight going over the
country about who will have what seats, and here in Louisiana,
it's made us recognize that we're probably going to lose
(17:56):
a congressional seat in the next few years. One of
the reasons you haven't heard a major redistricting fight is
because there's a lot of people in the legislature who
simply think Cleo Fields's seat will go the way of
the Dodo and you'll end up with essentially five Republican seats,
you know, in one you know, four Republican seats in
(18:17):
one Democratic seat, rather than the four to two combination
we have right now. Well, part of that has to
do with just simple fertility. Louisiana, listened to this, folks,
has had ten thousand fewer.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Babies than it did. A decade ago.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
This was reported. I mean it's in twenty twenty four.
There were just over fifty two thousand babies born in Louisiana.
That's a seventeen percent drop from twenty thirteen when there
were sixty three thousand births.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Why is this happening?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
From twenty thirteen to twenty twenty three, the number of
women age fifteen to forty four in Louisiana fell by
more than twenty nine.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Thousand, or three point one percent decline.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Part of this is demographics, people had fewer children, but
part of it actually.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Is a style of our success.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Because one of the things that's happened, even though our
fertility rate is from own by ten point three percent,
is that over half of Louisiana high school adults have
post high school credentials. Now that means they may not
have a college degree, but they have technical training, they
have community college training. This is a great accomplishment of
what we've done in Louisiana. They just don't have jobs
(19:27):
they can make more elsewhere, and so Louisiana moust was
always a place where people stayed, you know, we were
born and they died here. But with higher levels of
educational opportunity. They're starting to leave the state. Since two thousand,
jobs in Louisiana have grown by only two percent compared
to twenty percent nationwide.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Or put another way.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Between twenty twenty and twenty twenty four, just the pandemic
years one hundred and twenty nine thousand, five hundred people
more left.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Louisiana than came in from other states.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
That population loss was made up, by some extent by
a net gain of fifty nine thousand really migrants, many
of them are legal into the state, and we had
a net loss of seventy thousand people. Now that is
those people tend to be in their twenties. That helps
the flow of birth. But we've been tightened the borders.
There are fewer migrants coming into the state. And there's
(20:22):
a real term cost of all of this. If you
hadn't noticed, there were thirteen hundred unfilled spaces in Orleans
Parish public schools and they're looking to close two schools.
This is happening all over the country. But what does
it mean for us compared to the rest of the country. Well,
it is a very easy way of saying this. We
five percent says in twenty twenty one, New Orleans schools
(20:44):
enrolled only eighty four percent of their target seventy two
thousand seats. Seventy two hundred seats were left empty. Now
that's well over ten thousand. We're seeing in other states
a five percent replacement rate every years. Now we're seeing
a three point one percent replacement.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Right. These are all technical things, but here's what it means.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
They're younger people, and it means that your kids, folks,
are more likely to leave the state. If you're listening
to this program, I'm going to bet something you probably
have a college degree, or you're close to it. You
might have an advanced technical degree, and your kids probably
do too. Ask yourself a question. How many of are
staying and they're leaving not because necessarily they want to leave,
(21:28):
they want to be in the first transport, first trained
bus plane.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Out of here.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
It's because they can't find a job comparable to buy
a house. When housing costs in New Orleans are astronomical.
Just to rent a place, it's twenty five hundred and
three thousand a month, much less the million dollars to
buy a place. As I like to say, we have
the prices of Connecticut and the economy.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Of Bogota, Columbia. And so with all of that, this
is why economic development matters. Why it's not a dry topic.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Why in this mayor's race when people blesses talking about
the port you know moreno talking about it jobs, which
is not a light statement. When Munro just got the
biggest Meta AI complex. We have cheap energy in this state.
It's one of the things they're looking for. We have
opportunities if we will only pursue them, and we have
an increasingly educated population which we've never had before. But
(22:21):
if we don't really get serious about bringing in economic
developments and finding ways of value added, ways of increasing it,
as highest pointed out, you know, manufacturing that goes along
with our port infrastructure, we are going to continue to
see our birth rate go because kids in their twenties
are just leaving the state for greener economic pastures.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Your thoughts high, Yes, Christopher, I think we're depopulating ourselves too,
too liberal policy. It's one classic case is abortion, where
you know you start killing your babies. I guess what
your population goes down, Guess what it can affect everything
in your community, including your economy. As we're seeing right now,
(23:04):
this is a horrible thing that's happening. We're also destroying
the schools because we're only trying to make schools for
the rich and the famous as far as the public
school system goes, meaning charter schools. The rest of them
are getting terrible educations and that what does that mean?
That means they can go nowhere when they graduate, they're
stuck in poverty for the rest of their lives. And
that's a breeding ground for crime and every other kind
(23:26):
of negative thing. Like you said, you know, with the
economy of Bogata, Columbia, instead of what could have been
a just magnificent city and a magnificent state. But when
you turn it over to liberal policies, Democrat policies, you
end up with disasters. All the democratic cities in this
(23:47):
country are falling apart right now, full of crime and
every homelessness, everything. It's just it's amazing to see when
you let democrats run an area, the destruction it brings
to that area. It's just absolutely amazing. How can people
not see this? How cannot people want to change it
and save us? We need to do that, folks. So
(24:07):
I'm so sorry that we're having all these problems. And
but I guarantee you there's a way out. We need
to just really seek God and trust him and and
do what's right according to the Bible, the same way
the Founding Fathers did it. They saw the Bible as
their guide for good government, and it was so true
(24:27):
by the way folks planned parenthood. The chief killer of
babies in America has just been kicked out of the state.
So you see there's some progress right there. Well, folks,
uh it's time for us to go into our next topic,
which is going to be very very interesting and uh
so we'll be with you in just a minute after
(24:47):
we take this brief commercial break.

It is now time for us to continue the show,
(30:03):
and I think it's time to learn a little bit
more about Canada and maybe you know Montreal basically the
sister city of New Orleans, the founding city of New Orleans.
Christopher's got some great insights on that. Christopher. You're up there,
you've been You've been studying this for years now. Christopher
and I both have ancestors that go back to Montreal
on both sides of our family, and my wife also
(30:24):
goes all the way back to the Lemoynese brothers. So Christopher,
tell us about what you foind up there in the
Lemoine House in Montreal. What an interesting story Christopher has
for ast right now, Chris, this is Christopher Tidmore. Christopher
take it away.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Well, as we started the show talking about Canada, I
thought I would talk about Canada's connection to New Orleans,
particularly how Montreal is the mother of New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
You know.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
I've been to Quebec many times, as you know, and
we've talked about this, but I actually got to see
something I'd never seen before on this trip on the
Canadian Empress down the Saint Lawrence River. It's called lebur
Lemoyne House, as in Charles Lemoinne, the father of Bienville
and Iberville. It's one of the oldest continuous structures homes
(31:15):
that remains in North America still standing. Not the oldest,
but it's pretty close there. It was built in sixteen
sixty nine and it was part of the fur trade
on the Saint Lawrence River. Charles Lemoine came to Montreal
at the age of twelve as an indentured servant and
eventually grew to become one of the most important men
in the city. And I always explain this to people.
(31:38):
Why did Iberville and Bienville come to Louisiana while they
were younger sons, particularly Bienville. His the eldest son, inherited
all the lands and the younger sons had to go
make their fortune, and they brought along the younger.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Sons of the founding families of New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
It occurred to me that one of Charles and Wyne's
closest friends was Pierre Roy de Villery, and they he
probably lived in this house. So that was my ancestor,
and he came, you know, it was it was used
for the fur trade, but the Lemoinnes and their friends
actually lived there.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
It was a bit north of modern day Montreal.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
And his son, of course, atn Roy de Villery comes
with Bienville and founds the Villery family here in New Orleans,
and so many other families started that way, and the
connection of Montreal to New Orleans is extreme. THENVI would
write letters to France and he would say, my Canadians,
they were using that term by that generation, are doing
(32:36):
all the work and doing everything, and you're a Frenchman.
You send us, you know, soldiers and prostitute. You're not
doing anything or doing nothing. He'd be writing this to
the Minister of Marine, the Duke de poncha Train and
to the king, and you know, trying to build New Orleans.
But part of that attitude was something you might be
able to really endorse. Why does Montreal, which means Mount
(33:00):
Royal come about? It comes about because it was a
missionary activity. To start with, there was a gentleman by
the name of maison Neuve, and he wanted to found
a mission to the Indians, and he brought along an
extraordinary woman by the name of gene Monts, one of
the first women nurses in the Americas, and together they
(33:24):
started a colony that would welcome the Indian tribes in
and it would influence everything that happened. Bienville survives here
when other French explorers do not, because he spoke twenty
four Indian languages. He was actually tattooed because he had
been in it, and so he had a very comfortable
relationship with Native Americans, whereas his father's older compatriots, like
(33:46):
you know, for example, Jean Calvier de la Salle, who
his father had known really well, did not And so
that part is part of it, but it's a bigger
idea you'd see. Montreal was not founded as the city
of Mount Royal. It was found it is the city
of mary Ville Marie. It was a utopian colony as
a way where the Indians and white people were supposed
(34:07):
to live together, and they had a very live and
let live attitude. It wasn't extreme wasn't this. It was
very much welcoming. And the first thing they built was
a hospital, the Hotel Do. It's where we got the
name for ours. Was the Hotel Do that was built
by Jane Munns. And most importantly, what did Montreal do.
Montreal was the first place in New France where the
(34:27):
seigneur system didn't apply. So why do the English colonies
grow so fast and the French colonies that are one
hundred years older in many cases did not.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
It's simple.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
If you were a peasant in France, you were going
to be a peasant in the New World. If you
are a lord in Francis Signor, you are going to
be a lord in the New World. And so there
wasn't a place for religious dissenters to go. The Huguenots
ended up going to the English colonies.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
There was nowhere for people just to say, I want.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
My own land, I want to start off on the frontier,
except Montreal, that little island in the Saint Lawrence. It's
not little by any stretch of the imagination. With the
place you could go and have your own farm and
your own life. And it was the place that grew
to become the center of French life and really the
center of the economy of Quebec.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
To this day.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
It's also a very cosmopolitan place. Fifty eight point eight
percent of the population is fully fluent in.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
English and French. Ninety percent can get by in both.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
It's one of the only places in Canada for all
the bilingualism where that exists. It's a cosmopolitan city. It's
lost a lot to Toronto economically, in a similar way
New Orleans lost things to Houston, Atlanta, but it's still
a key part of their history and it's a part
of the history of North America. For without Montreal and.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
New Orleans is not founded, Louisiana is not settled.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
All the people that would explore Louisiana were from Montreal.
This includes up and Marquette, this includes LaSalle, this includes
you know, everybody that ultimately plays a role.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
In our creation.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Especially Ibraville and Bienville grew up in Montreal, and it
was kind of a privilege to see this wonderful home,
this liberal Lemoine house, this house that was built in
sixteen sixty nine, that's thirty years before the founding of.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
The Louisiana Colony at sixteen ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
And feel it and feel my ancestors were in Fiel
of your ancestors were, and feel the connection that we
have to this day to Canada. And you look down
from the house and there as the Saint Lawrence, and
you can see how the river traffic affected trade and
how people.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Dreamed, well, what if we could do this on the
Mississippi as well?
Speaker 4 (36:46):
Your thoughts home, Yes, Christopher, my heart is veritably pregnant
with thoughts about this topic. As like I said earlier,
you and I both had ancestors, and my wife also
had went back to that founding period, and so I
mean one of my instists literally got off the boat
with the in Villa Nibberville. He was the secretary of
(37:07):
Saint Martin. So it's really fascinating to see how this developed,
how what they did to found one of the greatest
cities in the world, New Orleans. Do you know these
people were so the hardships they went through is astounding.
We don't realize how tough it was. For instance, like
(37:27):
in Virginia Jamestown Colony, after the first couple of years
they lost ninety percent of their people from Indians and
disease and famine and freezing the weather, I mean, and
yet they kept coming back. They didn't give up. That's
what's so amazing. I mean, really, a trip to the
New World back then was almost like a possible deaths
(37:48):
a good likely, highly likely death sentence. So these folks
were amazing, and their story being Villenibberville, is so amazing.
They came down, they found a place, they called it
New Orleans. They set you know, built the start of
the first It was like a camp really, I mean
they're just arriving in canoes. By the way, they could
(38:09):
couldn't come down in big boats, but they had large
canoes that they came down the river a party of
about one hundred people to look for and establish, uh with,
you know, a city that would control the mouth of
the river and bring New France all the way down
to the Gulf and and uh and and in the
western regions of this country. And so we eventually became
(38:33):
the Louisiana Purchase. So they came down, they established the
place of all days. Gets what day? They arrived on
Mardi Gras Day and what do they do, well, they
had a Mardi Gras party. So New Orleans starts off
with Marti Graus, but you know, they didn't have what
they needed. They had to go out into the golf,
go to a French colony, gather up all the goodies
they needed to come then build a permanent city. And
(38:53):
they did that, and they came back to the Gulf,
the Gulf coast, and they hit and started heading west
looking for the mouth of the river. They found their mouth.
They went up the river. They built up city and
guess what, they called it Mobile? Wrong location. So they
tried again. They weren't going to give up. They would determine.
(39:14):
So they went to Mobile, headed in a westerly direction
until they found the mouth of the river. They went
up the river, they built a city, and they called
it Biloxi. A few years later they realized, Nope, that's
not the Missipper. Now, if you think these guys are
dumb or crazy or whatever, you got to if you've
ever sailed that coast, I have. If you've ever been
(39:35):
I've I've shrimped it all from Florida all the way
to Texas. Uh, it almost all looks the same. And
if you don't have modern navigation and whatnot, you're going
on dead reckoning. You're going on you don't have good maps,
it's going to be hard, and it was very hard
for them. It all looks the same. It looks like
you see beaches, you see swamp, you see marsh over
(39:56):
and over again, and about every five or ten miles
there's a big opening, like another big river coming out.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
So it was a tough thing for them to do,
but they weren't going to quit. That was strike two.
They went a third time, and this time they found
them out.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
They went up.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
They getting close, They went up the river, they built
the city and they called it Bay Saint Louis. Well,
of course, a few years later they realized that this
was a hopeless situation, but they weren't giving up. So
they went back to Montreal, got in their canoes, came
down the river and and to give so they would
certainly be on the river and uh and they worked
more closely with the Native Americans this time. You know,
(40:30):
the French were very close to the Indians. That's what
was interesting about the French and how they did their settlements.
Because they were so close to the Indians. It worked.
Instead of having to fight the Indians, they joined the Indians,
and the Indians joined them, and they became partners so
the Indians came down with them, and they were great guides,
of course, and they told them how you could get
to the best place along the river that far down
(40:52):
the river, because at that point it's all swamp and marsh,
but you could find some ridges, some high ground. And
so the way to do it was you would they
would be a by you. There's a byou that back
then they connected the Mississippi River with Lake Maurepol, and
so they did that and they arrived there and then
the next day they were going to be in the
area where they wanted to build a city. And guess
(41:14):
what they day It was, Yep, you're right, Marti gras
d So they had a Mardi Gras party. So they
had a Mardi Gras party first on the west bank
and then secondly on the east bank. And the next
day they came into the city. They went through the Maopol,
passed Vanshak at Lake pontch train buy you Saint John
up the bayou to the end, which is the backside
of the French Quarter. And they started building the city.
(41:35):
And for the next fifty years, the ingress and negress
to New Orleans was not the Mississippi River. It was
too hard. It was Bay Saint Louis, the rigilies Lake
Pontch train that was about a fifty mile trip versus
one hundred mile trip on the river that of the
fiercest currents in the world for a large river, that
(41:56):
was very difficult to navigate. And so that remained the
entrance to the city, the back door, if you will,
from by Saint Johnthan eventually they had so much traffic
coming down the river that then then they had to
set up a port on the river, the Port of
New Orleans, of course. And what a fascinating story of
our ancestors, And to think that they were coming from
(42:17):
a city that encouraged freedom of religion, encouraged you know,
all the right things. Everybody had civil rights, on and
on and on the way countries and cities should be.
We have a wonderful beginning in this city. I just
wish we could restore the greatness of New Orleans. New
Orleans is a city in decline right now. It's one
(42:37):
of the most tragic I've watched it in my whole life.
I'm seventy four years old, and when I was young,
New Orleans was ranked as one of the top cities
in the world, the largest port in America. We were
the number ten, we were ranked in the top ten.
Now we're not even the top fifty, folks. Is terrible.
What's happened? And when you think the greatest water set
of wealth passes us every day going up the river
coming down the river in the world, what do we
(42:58):
get out of it. We could building factors, we could
be doing things like other cities do to become part
of that economy, part of that wealth, and we just
just blows right past us and we do nothing. We
have so many corrupt politicians they drive the good money
out of That has a lot to do with why
we're we're failing well, folks. It is time for us
to take another break. We'll be right back and we're
(43:19):
looking forward to seeing you on the other end when
we do our chaplain Bibi patriotic moment. We'll see you
in just a bit.
Speaker 5 (43:29):
Rescue, recovery, re engagement, these are not just words.
Speaker 3 (43:34):
These are the.
Speaker 5 (43:35):
Action steps we at the New Orleans Mission take to
make a positive impact on the homeless problem.
Speaker 3 (43:42):
Facing the Greater New Orleans area.
Speaker 5 (43:44):
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 they re engage
back into the community to be healthy, thriving, and living
(44:07):
a life of purpose.
Speaker 3 (44:09):
No one is meant to live under a bridge.
Speaker 5 (44:12):
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 go to

Speaker 4 (44:43):
Well, folks, we are back and you are listening to
the founders show the voice of the funding Fathers. And
this is none other than your host, Chaplain High McHenry
with our chaplain bye, By patriotic moment. We just take
a brief moment to remind you of the biblical foundations
of our country, our Judeo Christian or As prudence. And
today we want to talk about none other than Father Chinikee.
(45:04):
Father Chenekee, was a Canadian priest, A famous priest in Canada.
In fact, he stopped by him, said like almost single
handedly ended up establishing prohibition in Canada which stopped the
liquor trade. It's amazing what this man did in his lifetime.
But he loved something about America. He loved and he
had already started churches down here, so he decided to
move down here and he actually went independent instead of
(45:27):
remaining as a Catholic priest. He just became a minister
of the Gospel and an evangelist where he went up
and down and he had memorized, but had memorized, but
he knew the Bible extremely well. He loved the Bible.
He learned the Bible from the time he was a
kid from his father, and so he knew it very well.
As well as his religious education in the Catholic Church.
(45:49):
He really understands that stood the Bible. And he got
to know Abraham Lincoln before he was a president because
he was in that area. A lot of Canadians were
down in the Midwest. They had been there for generations,
for centuries, and he started some churches there. And when
Lincoln became the president. By the way, he loved America
(46:09):
because he saw that God's hand was upon it and
that God would do great things through this country. He
didn't say it about Canada, he said it about America.
When Lincoln was the president, and he picked up because
of his connections that there was a conspiracy against Lincoln
to kill him. And he went to Washington, and Lincoln
really loved Chenikee. Chenekee had a great influence over his life.
(46:31):
Many believed his father Chenekee won. There were three people, Moody,
Dwight Moody, and Sir Jarnov Smith. All three had a
very powerful influence on Lincoln to actually bring him to
a conversion to Christ where he was born again. He
trusted Jesus and he knew he was going to heaven
when he died. That happened the year before he did die,
and he started going down in the kitchen and praying
(46:52):
with the servants in the kitchen.
Speaker 3 (46:54):
That's how moved.
Speaker 4 (46:56):
Lincoln became over his experience with Jesus, so tried to
warn him, but it didn't work, as we know, and
tragically Lincoln was assassinated. What a man and what an
influence he and so many others like him had on
this country for our biblical foundations. That was in the
(47:18):
mid nineteenth century, folks, but it goes back to the
pre colonial period. I mean, it's amazing, it's absolutely amazing
the stories and the history of how God had his
hand on this country. Well, folks, God has his hand
on you. Well, if he doesn't, you want it. And
you'll find out how that can happen. As we now
go into our chaplain by by a gospel moment. Just
(47:38):
take a brief moment to show you how you can
be absolutely certain that when you die, you will be
saved from hell and guaranteed evan. You know, the Bible
says God loves you with an everlasting love, and you
know the scripture says the gospel is the power of
God unto salvation. Well, what is the gospel? Well, in
one Corinthians fifteen, it tells us, for our declarity of
the gospel, that Christ died for all of us according
(48:00):
to the scripture, that he was buried, and that he
rose from the dead according to the scripture. That's the
gospel death, bear of resurrection. That's it. That's plain and simple.
Speaker 3 (48:09):
And so.
Speaker 4 (48:12):
What does it take child like faith? Jesus said, unless
you come as a little child, you shall have no
wives enter in. So what is it child like faith?
What are we talking about here? It comes. We can
get a better understanding of it when we think about
the word repentance. Jesus kept saying repent and believe, repent
and believe. You see, our childlike faith is a two
sided coin of faith. On the first side, we believe
(48:35):
we can't save ourselves. Children get that pretty well because
they're so tiny and small and weak and whatnot. They
know they did something better help them, so they can
understand that a lot better than adults do. And so
we until we come to that place we realize we're
hopeless and helps without God, destined to a burning hell.
There's absolutely nothing we can do, and never we're gonna
(48:57):
be smart enough, rich enough, holy enough, charming enough, great enough.
Whatever we think we are, we're never going to be
that to measure up to God's standard of perfection. It
is beyond us. God's standard of perfection is beyond us.
Not to mention the fact that with sinners, we needed
a sinless man to pay the price for our horrible sins.
(49:17):
That sinless man's name is Jesus. He was one hundred
percent God and one hundred percent man. He was perfect
man and perfect God. He came to this earth to
take care of our sin problem and our death problem.
When he died on the cross for our sins, the
Bible says, his blood washed away all our sins. When
he rose from the dead, the Scripture says, his resurrection
(49:39):
one for us, each and every one of us, his precious,
free gift of resurrection, everlasting life. You see, the Scripture says,
we've been saved by grace. That word grace just means gift,
and it's free. Of course, we've been saved by grace
through faith. You take it by believing it's for you.
We've been saved by grace through faith. And even that
is not of ourselves. It is a gift of God,
(50:00):
not of works. Let'st any man should boast. You see,
even our faith is hard to come by. We don't
have it, really, but God puts it in us, in
every human being. The Bible says, the word of faith
has gone to all people. The Scripture says, the grace
of God, which brings salvation hath appear into all people.
So folks, we all get the same chance. We all
got it. And the Bible says, even if you don't
have the Bible. You can know about God through his creation.
(50:22):
The Scripture is very strong on that God. And everybody
would have a Bible. Wouldn't hear a preacher come in
and preaching the gospel? But you know what nature preaches
to him. They can see it there, and the Bible
says because of that, they're without excuse. So, folks, every
one of us are given an equal opportunity to know
God and know him forever, to become his child, to
be born again. That means you're dead and dying spirit
becomes fully alive. If you've never done that before, folks,
(50:45):
do it now. Don't wait till it's too late. Believe
right now with all of your heart that Jesus really
did die for all of your sins, was buried and
rose from the dead. Believe it right now, folks. The
scripture says, now today is the day of salvation. And
like the old country preacher said, don't wait till it's
too late. Well, folks, I'll tell you there's another thing coming,
and we don't want to be late for that. That's
when Jesus comes back. He's coming back, folks. It's called
(51:08):
the Second Coming. It's called the Apocalypse. It's in the
Book of Revelation, and they're over two hundred passages in
the Bible about Jesus's second coming. There were only one
hundred for us first coming. Now they're over two hundred
for a second coming. I think that means it's very,
very important. And you get a special crown in heaven.
That means rank. You get a crown in heaven because
(51:29):
you love the appearing of his coming. You're excited about
him coming back. You're ready for him coming back. Folks.
If you're not ready, you better get ready because it's
going to be bad when he comes. The Devil's going
to do everything he can to stop this, which means
he's going to go on a mass inbecilla crazy crusade
to try to stop it. He's gonna have a false
Christ called the anti Christ, who is going to appear
(51:51):
as some of this great wonder Worker in the middle
of the last seven years called the Tribulation period, and
he's going to be a liar and a thief and
a murderer, and it's going to cause more damage and
more destruction. He's going to be so powerful and cleveries
and try to get the whole world to worship him,
and many will. Don't be one of those folks. Don't
take the mark of the Beast six sixty six. Don't
(52:11):
do it. They're already setting up the economy for this
right now, with all the cryptocurrencies and all they're doing
with the world economies and the currency reset, all that.
It's all coming to bear on us right now. And
this talk all over the place about a messiah. They
even declared Obama to be the messiah. If y'all remember that.
Speaker 3 (52:31):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (52:33):
The Muslims are looking for him, the im and Mahdi,
the Buddhists, the Fifth Buddha, the Hindus, Krishna, all the
religions of the world are crying out for this great
Messiah to come. And it's going to be a fake one.
So folks, don't get caught, don't get tricked. If you
believe in Jesus, you can get tricked. You'll be safe.
He's the greatest safe house in bunker. You can ever
(52:53):
get the Lord Jesus Christ. By him right now and
by believing that he died for all your sins and
rose from you.
Speaker 1 (53:00):
Got to do.
Speaker 4 (53:00):
That's what when the scripture says the pearl of great price.
You're buying it with your faith. Your faith is your currency.
Believe it right now, folks, that Jesus did die for
all you, sends us bread and rose of the dead.
What's not time for us to close? As we close
with a mind Saint Martin singing a Creole goodbye, and
God bless you all out there.
Speaker 6 (53:26):
You call you weel goodbye. They think we're just wasting
out the time. All SIVL love me. There is time
(53:48):
for a Creo good bye.
By holes. The politicians addressed the digitators and magicians first
to see the money. They don't there's nothing to fill
the holes while then fill in their pockets by holes.
The politicians bouncing down the road. Everybody's wition for no
(00:24):
more corruption and dysfunction. It's going to take divide His avention.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Broadcasting line from Canada where we look at the New
Orleans Mayor's race and author Hunter drops out at an
announcement at one o'clock on Thursday and endorses race to
pless us.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
The mayor's race is completely on its ear.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
We're also talking about the connections between Montreal, New Orleans
and a really big problem with a falling birth rate
in New Orleans. That and more on this edition of
The Founder's Show.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
And God bless all out there. You are now listening
to The Founders Show, 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
(01:15):
on top of that old Liberty cypress tree traped in
Spanish moss, way out on the Eagles Branch is none other,
then you'll spend Gary Bay by all the republic Chaplain
Hi mcgnry, who with.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Christopher Timmolly, your roving reporter, resident radical moderate Mississi editor
of the Louisiana Weekly newspaper, a Louisiana Weekly dot net.
And if you hear a slight breeze in the background,
a slight hum in the distance, and a slight bit
of a wave against the sea wall, what you're hearing
is one of the largest dams and lock systems on
(01:53):
the Saint Lawrence Seaway. That's where I am at the
Carrylin Lock in Quebec Province, transversing the Saint Lawrence Seaway
on the Canadian Empress riverboat. It is an experience I'm
doing three times this summer on a lecture tour and
writing a bit about the importance of the Saint Lawrence Seaway,
(02:14):
how it affects us all the way to this day.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
It actually completed the river travel across.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
The Louisiana Purchase, because when the Saint Lawrence Seaway was done,
you could go literally directly from the Atlantic without all
the way to the Great Lakes, from Chicago into the
Mississippi down to New Orleans, or all the way up
to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, if you wanted all by water.
It was the connecting of a continent, even a way
that the Erie Canal could not do for large ships.
(02:42):
And it did flood quite a few villages along the way,
over sixty towns and cities, so much so that they
took the historic buildings and want and created a village
of it. So that's a living history village. But it
is an experience of travel. And I'm up here in
Canada talking about sort of the political situation between Canadians
(03:05):
and the United States. You spend time on the border
regions of Canada and you realize how much our economies
are intertwined. Canada is not a separate nation, not economically.
Yes it has a separate currency, and yes, it definitely
has a separate idea of itself. It is never going
(03:26):
to be the fifty first state, and that wouldn't be
a very good political idea if it were, because they're
ten Canadian provinces, so it would be the fifty first
through sixtieth state, and Republicans could probably win.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Two, maybe Alberta, maybe Saskatchewan. That's it. So politically Canada
joined the United States.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Not great for the GOP, however, as an economic partner,
it's incredibly important. And you see that they are factories
all the way along the border. So where I am
in Quebec is just north, of course, of many parts
of New England, and the economies are intertwined.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Ontario is even more, which is just.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
North of Detroit and Michigan, where the auto industry is
completely you know, across the border intertwined. And so we're
going to talk a little bit on today's show about
the impact of the tariffs. We're I was going to
talk a little local politics about what New Orleans is
spending on its various office space.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
Are we wasting money?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Well, you're going to find out that we could buy
an office building for the price of what we're spending.
That's some tax measures and what's happening in the Senate
and local elections. All this on this edition of The
Founder's Show. Your thoughts high on being in Canada.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Oh many thoughts, Christopher. Canada is such a beautiful country.
One thing I love about it is it's lowly, lowly populated,
which means you've got lots of elbow room, which is
what Old Daniel Boone always was looking for. You can
really get lost in Canada in the wilderness. It's and
it's huge, It's it's just one of the largest countries
(05:00):
in the world. It's amazing how large it is and
taking you all the way up to the Arctic and
the rocky mountains of Canada. Oh my goodness. It's a
beautiful state. I mean, a beautiful country. Slip. I don't
think it will become another American state. Trump's playing with
us when he does that. He's this kid. He's getting
(05:20):
people all upset. That's all. That's a tactic Trump has
done all of his life. But anyway, I'm glad you're
up there, Christopher. What an amazing life you've led, traveling
all around the world try you know, being an international
journalist as well as a local journalist. Uh and and
just the amazing travel that you do. It adds so
(05:42):
much to this show because we get to talking and
learn about all these places around the world, especially you know,
in the North American continent. Anyway, Christopher, I'm excited about
the rest of the stuff you have for us. So
take it away, my brother, and tell us about what's
going on with New Orleans City government. Property. Are they
handling it well a Christopher, probably not. What do they
(06:05):
ever do well? I don't know. Anyway, give us some
insights on this, Christopher. Take it away, my good man.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Hi, before I get back to Canada, I'm going to
turn our attention a little closer to home. And that's
how we're spending money in New Orleans, and we're doing
something that makes absolutely no economic sense. Now, I know
that's not the first time I've made a statement like
that about Orleans Parish.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
But follow me here.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Even the most ardent defender is going to wonder about
this one. Does the City Government High of New Orleans
waste money on Central Business District CVD rents when the
same amount of funds could be used to purchase any
of several full sized buildings within two blocks.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
In New Orleans City Hall.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
That's a question I posed in the current edition of
the Louisiana Weekly, And just to give you a point
of comparison, a couple of weeks ago, the Housing Authority
of New Orleans announced the decision to relocate most of
its one hundred seventy four employees from a gaggle of
dilapidated gentility offices to one five five to five Pointer Street.
Hannah joins the Department of Revenue and Taxation and other
(07:11):
city offices in the former Exxon Building. The nearby former
Amoco Building, now dubbed the Orleans Tower, holds more, including
the former one stop Permitting Department. It moved from the
fourth floor City Hall a few years ago because of
equally dilapidated conditions. And that's the point. Most city owned
office spaces all over town are in need of repairs
(07:34):
or replacement due to mounting delayed maintenance cost. City Hall
especially needs renovation or replacement at a time when, if
you've ever been there, elevators fail on a weekly basis
and pieces of sealing are known to fall upon.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
The average passer.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
By now, our current field of mayoral contenders have engaged
in this great debate about building a new city Hall,
one that would be large enough for the vast majority
of city Hall offices. Fine, whatever, but not one candidate
has spoken out about what the city will do with
the offices. In the years leading up to the funding
and construction of such an edifice of a city hall,
(08:12):
they just slowly move, or at least the current administration
has bit by bit these offices into commercial spaces at
huge cost, and the city treasury wastes money on ever
rising commercial rents. Let me give you let me outline
this for you a little bit better, folks. So it
makes sense many of the buildings close to the current
City Hall have gone up for sale. In fact, Gale
(08:36):
Benson herself reportedly bought fifteen to fifteen Poindress that's the
next building over, for twenty six million, four hundred and
seventy three seven hundred dollars.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Now, let me outline this.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
That's three point five million dollars less lower than the
building sold twenty five.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Years ago in two thousand.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It's a way of saying that twenty twenty five is
a good time to buy office real estate in the CBD.
So why are the council and the mayor wasting this opportunity?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Let me put this another way, folks.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
At fifty dollars per square foot, Benson's purchase is three
point three times what the City of New Orleans pays
for multiple office suites at fifteen dollars per square foot
for full service leases. Moreover, the next building over, fifteen
to fifteen Poydrass, like several other properties in the area,
was only twenty three percent occupied when sold, leaving enough
(09:34):
space for almost every city office space to move into
it at twenty seven floors that had plenty of room.
So I'm posing a question high, and I posed it
for the last two weeks, and no one's given me
an answer. Why is the City of New Orleans wasting
millions of dollars in commercial office rents when it could
purchase a building for barely more than the city allocates
(09:55):
for office rents two to three years. In other words,
we could put all of our spare office is, in fact,
every office in City Hall in one of these towers,
with room to spare, and spend less than we're spending
in three years. Why does this occur when every architect
and consultant the city Hall says that City Hall will
(10:16):
need major structural repairs or replacement in the next decade
and the leading offices have to go somewhere.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Now, this is the food for thought that I'm posing.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
To each of the mayoral candidates, and I'm hopefully going
to give them in our debate on August fifteenth. For
those that don't know, Hi and I are moderating a debate.
It was originally going to be at the rank now
it's going to be. It's gotten so big, so many
people want to come that. We're actually using the Walnut
Room at Lakefront Airport. If you've not been there, it's
beautiful since the renovation. It's all our deco. It's original,
(10:47):
it's perfectly preserved a scene as restaurant is catering. And
we're going to be moderating debate of all the mayoral candidates,
and I'm going to pose this question, why are we
wasting money? Your thoughts high Why can't we just simple
buy one of these empty buildings that are in good
shape at a fraction of the cost it takes us
to rid them.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Oh Christopher, what great insights you have here on our
city properties. Folks out there your properties, because they are
our public servants and those buildings belong to we. The
people never forget that. They wouldn't know that. They treat
us like we're there are little ponds and peons and peasants.
(11:30):
But folks, those buildings are ours and we deserve to
get the best for it. Imagine having one of those
beautiful high rises right there in Poetr Street, as you know,
part of our city hall, where maybe most of the
stuff you need to. You could go into those buildings,
and I have to deal with the falling down building
right there that they use, the City Hall, with the
(11:50):
rats running through it and the ceilings falling and everything else,
dust everywhere. It's not a very nice picture. Wouldn't it
be great if we had a really lovely building that
took care of so much of ours city business for
less money than we're paying right now? What's wrong with
these people? Their vacancies, their buildings for sale down there?
(12:12):
When are they going to get it together? Think about it, folks, Christopher,
great insights, and so I guess it's time for us
to be looking into what's going on with the mayor's race. Christopher,
can you tell us more about it? Take it away, Christopher.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Well, let's turn for a second to the latest developments
in the New Orleans mayor's race. Author Hunter had a
major announcement on Thursday. He's trying to get attention in
his campaign, but he's not doing it as well as
Royce to pless us. Now, a weird thing has happened
with this garbage contract in the French Quarter. For those
that haven't been following it, Sidney Taurres's ivy waste has
(12:50):
essentially been allowed to continue and Troy Henry's consulting firm,
that is three million dollars more, has been said, Well
you can the next mayor can decide this effectively.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
That's where we stand with the courts. It's on appeal
right now.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
But one of the things that Duplessis has done is said,
wait a second, does the council really have this power
with everything being equal, to assign this contract? And he
brought up you know, he said, wait, some pretty terrible
things were said about a New Orleans businessman, and is
(13:26):
there the evidence there?
Speaker 3 (13:29):
Now?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
On the surface, this seems like it would be a
pretty insane thing to do. IVU waste is one of
the few things that has unified opinions in a positive
way in New Orleans. But it actually makes a certain
degree of sense, if you know, the dictum of Huey Long.
Hum Long used to come in and to a little
town and he'd ask one of his supporters who was
(13:51):
showing him around, who is the most powerful, most respected
man in town, or the most influential person here, and
they'd say something like mister Smith.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
So he would get on his soapbox.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
In the middle of the town square, and he would
start railing about mister Smith and how terrible mister Smith
is and how awful mister Smith is. And the supporters say,
you can't say that. You can't say that about somebody,
mister Smith, and.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
He says, if that man's so powerful, there are people who.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Hate mister Smith, and they just became loyal to me
going after mister Smith.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Well, the interesting thing has happened.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Duplessis has been rising in the polls because he's gone
after certain council members pretty directly, including the most assuredly
JP Morale, the very popular council president who has his detractors,
and I personally have a great respect in life Jp.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
But what it's been doing is by doing.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
That, it kind of has propelled him running against the
council and it's put Oliver Thomas, who's been the one
person who has sort of tried to stay by the
mayor's side in the middle, and Duplessis has been eating
into Oliver Thomas's support. Since his announcement for the mayor's race,
He's come into a strong third place, only two points
behind and within a statistical tie of Oliver Thomas. Thomas
(15:05):
is at sixteen, he's at fourteen the obviously Herlena Moreno,
is at forty seven percent, but she also sees that
all of the other supporters basically would unify whoever her
challenger is in the runoff.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Making this a pretty tired race.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
So it seems like sometimes coming into town and attacking
the big guy in town may be a pretty effective
political strategy. Duplessis, who said he wasn't running for mayor
obviously a year ago, got in this race right before qualifying,
and he's propelled himself past author Hunter, who spent this
press offense on Thursday talking about you know why he
(15:43):
should be thought of, and obviously it hasn't worked very well.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Your thoughts high, Yes, Christopher, it looks like we're going
to have another wallapaloozer for Ameo's race. It's getting hot
and heavy, even bringing in Huey Long tact the most
outrageous governor in the history of Louisiana. So this mayor's
rich is really heating up and looking very interesting. If
(16:08):
you like excitement, you like drama, well you need to
come in August and fifteenth and hear us moderate the
debate for the Mayor's folks it's going to get exciting. Well,
Chris fhy know, we got some more things to talk about,
and I want to hear about the economy, Newman's economy,
and the schools and our population growth and our how
(16:31):
they're going to, you know, set up the new representative
areas in this state. A wee get to jerrymander everybody
else is. It seems like, in fact, I've just recently
front of the Democrats jerry mander a whole lot more
than the Republicans do. Because of that, they've got more
House seats. So, uh, it's time of the Republicans to
start jerry mandering, or at least just cut it all
(16:53):
out and put things back the way they should be. Uh.
You know, I don't know how that's all going to
work out, but it's going to be interesting. It's going
to be. We've just had, as everybody knows, we've just
had a mass exodent of Texas politicians fleeing from having
to face the music of what they've been doing for years,
jerry mandering. So folks, let's hear about New Orleans our
(17:17):
economy here in the school. The school's everything to do
with our economy and and what about the like I
just mentioned, just mentioned it, the population of this fair state,
and we're going up, we're going down. What's happening, man?
We need help here in New Orleans and Louisiana. So
Chris wa take it away.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
You know how when we talk about economic development and
keeping our young people here, sometimes we really just sort
of gloss over it and we don't look at the
long term implications. There's this redistricting fight going over the
country about who will have what seats, and here in Louisiana,
it's made us recognize that we're probably going to lose
(17:56):
a congressional seat in the next few years. One of
the reasons you haven't heard a major redistricting fight is
because there's a lot of people in the legislature who
simply think Cleo Fields's seat will go the way of
the Dodo and you'll end up with essentially five Republican seats,
you know, in one you know, four Republican seats in
(18:17):
one Democratic seat, rather than the four to two combination
we have right now. Well, part of that has to
do with just simple fertility. Louisiana, listened to this, folks,
has had ten thousand fewer.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Babies than it did. A decade ago.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
This was reported. I mean it's in twenty twenty four.
There were just over fifty two thousand babies born in Louisiana.
That's a seventeen percent drop from twenty thirteen when there
were sixty three thousand births.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Why is this happening?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
From twenty thirteen to twenty twenty three, the number of
women age fifteen to forty four in Louisiana fell by
more than twenty nine.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Thousand, or three point one percent decline.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Part of this is demographics, people had fewer children, but
part of it actually.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Is a style of our success.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Because one of the things that's happened, even though our
fertility rate is from own by ten point three percent,
is that over half of Louisiana high school adults have
post high school credentials. Now that means they may not
have a college degree, but they have technical training, they
have community college training. This is a great accomplishment of
what we've done in Louisiana. They just don't have jobs
(19:27):
they can make more elsewhere, and so Louisiana moust was
always a place where people stayed, you know, we were
born and they died here. But with higher levels of
educational opportunity. They're starting to leave the state. Since two thousand,
jobs in Louisiana have grown by only two percent compared
to twenty percent nationwide.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Or put another way.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Between twenty twenty and twenty twenty four, just the pandemic
years one hundred and twenty nine thousand, five hundred people
more left.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Louisiana than came in from other states.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
That population loss was made up, by some extent by
a net gain of fifty nine thousand really migrants, many
of them are legal into the state, and we had
a net loss of seventy thousand people. Now that is
those people tend to be in their twenties. That helps
the flow of birth. But we've been tightened the borders.
There are fewer migrants coming into the state. And there's
(20:22):
a real term cost of all of this. If you
hadn't noticed, there were thirteen hundred unfilled spaces in Orleans
Parish public schools and they're looking to close two schools.
This is happening all over the country. But what does
it mean for us compared to the rest of the country. Well,
it is a very easy way of saying this. We
five percent says in twenty twenty one, New Orleans schools
(20:44):
enrolled only eighty four percent of their target seventy two
thousand seats. Seventy two hundred seats were left empty. Now
that's well over ten thousand. We're seeing in other states
a five percent replacement rate every years. Now we're seeing
a three point one percent replacement.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Right. These are all technical things, but here's what it means.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
They're younger people, and it means that your kids, folks,
are more likely to leave the state. If you're listening
to this program, I'm going to bet something you probably
have a college degree, or you're close to it. You
might have an advanced technical degree, and your kids probably
do too. Ask yourself a question. How many of are
staying and they're leaving not because necessarily they want to leave,
(21:28):
they want to be in the first transport, first trained
bus plane.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Out of here.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
It's because they can't find a job comparable to buy
a house. When housing costs in New Orleans are astronomical.
Just to rent a place, it's twenty five hundred and
three thousand a month, much less the million dollars to
buy a place. As I like to say, we have
the prices of Connecticut and the economy.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Of Bogota, Columbia. And so with all of that, this
is why economic development matters. Why it's not a dry topic.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Why in this mayor's race when people blesses talking about
the port you know moreno talking about it jobs, which
is not a light statement. When Munro just got the
biggest Meta AI complex. We have cheap energy in this state.
It's one of the things they're looking for. We have
opportunities if we will only pursue them, and we have
an increasingly educated population which we've never had before. But
(22:21):
if we don't really get serious about bringing in economic
developments and finding ways of value added, ways of increasing it,
as highest pointed out, you know, manufacturing that goes along
with our port infrastructure, we are going to continue to
see our birth rate go because kids in their twenties
are just leaving the state for greener economic pastures.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Your thoughts high, Yes, Christopher, I think we're depopulating ourselves too,
too liberal policy. It's one classic case is abortion, where
you know you start killing your babies. I guess what
your population goes down, Guess what it can affect everything
in your community, including your economy. As we're seeing right now,
(23:04):
this is a horrible thing that's happening. We're also destroying
the schools because we're only trying to make schools for
the rich and the famous as far as the public
school system goes, meaning charter schools. The rest of them
are getting terrible educations and that what does that mean?
That means they can go nowhere when they graduate, they're
stuck in poverty for the rest of their lives. And
that's a breeding ground for crime and every other kind
(23:26):
of negative thing. Like you said, you know, with the
economy of Bogata, Columbia, instead of what could have been
a just magnificent city and a magnificent state. But when
you turn it over to liberal policies, Democrat policies, you
end up with disasters. All the democratic cities in this
(23:47):
country are falling apart right now, full of crime and
every homelessness, everything. It's just it's amazing to see when
you let democrats run an area, the destruction it brings
to that area. It's just absolutely amazing. How can people
not see this? How cannot people want to change it
and save us? We need to do that, folks. So
(24:07):
I'm so sorry that we're having all these problems. And
but I guarantee you there's a way out. We need
to just really seek God and trust him and and
do what's right according to the Bible, the same way
the Founding Fathers did it. They saw the Bible as
their guide for good government, and it was so true
(24:27):
by the way folks planned parenthood. The chief killer of
babies in America has just been kicked out of the state.
So you see there's some progress right there. Well, folks,
uh it's time for us to go into our next topic,
which is going to be very very interesting and uh
so we'll be with you in just a minute after
(24:47):
we take this brief commercial break.

It is now time for us to continue the show,
(30:03):
and I think it's time to learn a little bit
more about Canada and maybe you know Montreal basically the
sister city of New Orleans, the founding city of New Orleans.
Christopher's got some great insights on that. Christopher. You're up there,
you've been You've been studying this for years now. Christopher
and I both have ancestors that go back to Montreal
on both sides of our family, and my wife also
(30:24):
goes all the way back to the Lemoynese brothers. So Christopher,
tell us about what you foind up there in the
Lemoine House in Montreal. What an interesting story Christopher has
for ast right now, Chris, this is Christopher Tidmore. Christopher
take it away.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Well, as we started the show talking about Canada, I
thought I would talk about Canada's connection to New Orleans,
particularly how Montreal is the mother of New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
You know.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
I've been to Quebec many times, as you know, and
we've talked about this, but I actually got to see
something I'd never seen before on this trip on the
Canadian Empress down the Saint Lawrence River. It's called lebur
Lemoyne House, as in Charles Lemoinne, the father of Bienville
and Iberville. It's one of the oldest continuous structures homes
(31:15):
that remains in North America still standing. Not the oldest,
but it's pretty close there. It was built in sixteen
sixty nine and it was part of the fur trade
on the Saint Lawrence River. Charles Lemoine came to Montreal
at the age of twelve as an indentured servant and
eventually grew to become one of the most important men
in the city. And I always explain this to people.
(31:38):
Why did Iberville and Bienville come to Louisiana while they
were younger sons, particularly Bienville. His the eldest son, inherited
all the lands and the younger sons had to go
make their fortune, and they brought along the younger.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Sons of the founding families of New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
It occurred to me that one of Charles and Wyne's
closest friends was Pierre Roy de Villery, and they he
probably lived in this house. So that was my ancestor,
and he came, you know, it was it was used
for the fur trade, but the Lemoinnes and their friends
actually lived there.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
It was a bit north of modern day Montreal.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
And his son, of course, atn Roy de Villery comes
with Bienville and founds the Villery family here in New Orleans,
and so many other families started that way, and the
connection of Montreal to New Orleans is extreme. THENVI would
write letters to France and he would say, my Canadians,
they were using that term by that generation, are doing
(32:36):
all the work and doing everything, and you're a Frenchman.
You send us, you know, soldiers and prostitute. You're not
doing anything or doing nothing. He'd be writing this to
the Minister of Marine, the Duke de poncha Train and
to the king, and you know, trying to build New Orleans.
But part of that attitude was something you might be
able to really endorse. Why does Montreal, which means Mount
(33:00):
Royal come about? It comes about because it was a
missionary activity. To start with, there was a gentleman by
the name of maison Neuve, and he wanted to found
a mission to the Indians, and he brought along an
extraordinary woman by the name of gene Monts, one of
the first women nurses in the Americas, and together they
(33:24):
started a colony that would welcome the Indian tribes in
and it would influence everything that happened. Bienville survives here
when other French explorers do not, because he spoke twenty
four Indian languages. He was actually tattooed because he had
been in it, and so he had a very comfortable
relationship with Native Americans, whereas his father's older compatriots, like
(33:46):
you know, for example, Jean Calvier de la Salle, who
his father had known really well, did not And so
that part is part of it, but it's a bigger
idea you'd see. Montreal was not founded as the city
of Mount Royal. It was found it is the city
of mary Ville Marie. It was a utopian colony as
a way where the Indians and white people were supposed
(34:07):
to live together, and they had a very live and
let live attitude. It wasn't extreme wasn't this. It was
very much welcoming. And the first thing they built was
a hospital, the Hotel Do. It's where we got the
name for ours. Was the Hotel Do that was built
by Jane Munns. And most importantly, what did Montreal do.
Montreal was the first place in New France where the
(34:27):
seigneur system didn't apply. So why do the English colonies
grow so fast and the French colonies that are one
hundred years older in many cases did not.
Speaker 3 (34:38):
It's simple.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
If you were a peasant in France, you were going
to be a peasant in the New World. If you
are a lord in Francis Signor, you are going to
be a lord in the New World. And so there
wasn't a place for religious dissenters to go. The Huguenots
ended up going to the English colonies.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
There was nowhere for people just to say, I want.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
My own land, I want to start off on the frontier,
except Montreal, that little island in the Saint Lawrence. It's
not little by any stretch of the imagination. With the
place you could go and have your own farm and
your own life. And it was the place that grew
to become the center of French life and really the
center of the economy of Quebec.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
To this day.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
It's also a very cosmopolitan place. Fifty eight point eight
percent of the population is fully fluent in.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
English and French. Ninety percent can get by in both.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
It's one of the only places in Canada for all
the bilingualism where that exists. It's a cosmopolitan city. It's
lost a lot to Toronto economically, in a similar way
New Orleans lost things to Houston, Atlanta, but it's still
a key part of their history and it's a part
of the history of North America. For without Montreal and.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
New Orleans is not founded, Louisiana is not settled.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
All the people that would explore Louisiana were from Montreal.
This includes up and Marquette, this includes LaSalle, this includes
you know, everybody that ultimately plays a role.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
In our creation.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Especially Ibraville and Bienville grew up in Montreal, and it
was kind of a privilege to see this wonderful home,
this liberal Lemoine house, this house that was built in
sixteen sixty nine, that's thirty years before the founding of.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
The Louisiana Colony at sixteen ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
And feel it and feel my ancestors were in Fiel
of your ancestors were, and feel the connection that we
have to this day to Canada. And you look down
from the house and there as the Saint Lawrence, and
you can see how the river traffic affected trade and
how people.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Dreamed, well, what if we could do this on the
Mississippi as well?
Speaker 4 (36:46):
Your thoughts home, Yes, Christopher, my heart is veritably pregnant
with thoughts about this topic. As like I said earlier,
you and I both had ancestors, and my wife also
had went back to that founding period, and so I
mean one of my instists literally got off the boat
with the in Villa Nibberville. He was the secretary of
(37:07):
Saint Martin. So it's really fascinating to see how this developed,
how what they did to found one of the greatest
cities in the world, New Orleans. Do you know these
people were so the hardships they went through is astounding.
We don't realize how tough it was. For instance, like
(37:27):
in Virginia Jamestown Colony, after the first couple of years
they lost ninety percent of their people from Indians and
disease and famine and freezing the weather, I mean, and
yet they kept coming back. They didn't give up. That's
what's so amazing. I mean, really, a trip to the
New World back then was almost like a possible deaths
(37:48):
a good likely, highly likely death sentence. So these folks
were amazing, and their story being Villenibberville, is so amazing.
They came down, they found a place, they called it
New Orleans. They set you know, built the start of
the first It was like a camp really, I mean
they're just arriving in canoes. By the way, they could
(38:09):
couldn't come down in big boats, but they had large
canoes that they came down the river a party of
about one hundred people to look for and establish, uh with,
you know, a city that would control the mouth of
the river and bring New France all the way down
to the Gulf and and uh and and in the
western regions of this country. And so we eventually became
(38:33):
the Louisiana Purchase. So they came down, they established the
place of all days. Gets what day? They arrived on
Mardi Gras Day and what do they do, well, they
had a Mardi Gras party. So New Orleans starts off
with Marti Graus, but you know, they didn't have what
they needed. They had to go out into the golf,
go to a French colony, gather up all the goodies
they needed to come then build a permanent city. And
(38:53):
they did that, and they came back to the Gulf,
the Gulf coast, and they hit and started heading west
looking for the mouth of the river. They found their mouth.
They went up the river. They built up city and
guess what, they called it Mobile? Wrong location. So they
tried again. They weren't going to give up. They would determine.
(39:14):
So they went to Mobile, headed in a westerly direction
until they found the mouth of the river. They went
up the river, they built a city, and they called
it Biloxi. A few years later they realized, Nope, that's
not the Missipper. Now, if you think these guys are
dumb or crazy or whatever, you got to if you've
ever sailed that coast, I have. If you've ever been
(39:35):
I've I've shrimped it all from Florida all the way
to Texas. Uh, it almost all looks the same. And
if you don't have modern navigation and whatnot, you're going
on dead reckoning. You're going on you don't have good maps,
it's going to be hard, and it was very hard
for them. It all looks the same. It looks like
you see beaches, you see swamp, you see marsh over
(39:56):
and over again, and about every five or ten miles
there's a big opening, like another big river coming out.
Speaker 3 (40:01):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
So it was a tough thing for them to do,
but they weren't going to quit. That was strike two.
They went a third time, and this time they found
them out.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
They went up.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
They getting close, They went up the river, they built
the city and they called it Bay Saint Louis. Well,
of course, a few years later they realized that this
was a hopeless situation, but they weren't giving up. So
they went back to Montreal, got in their canoes, came
down the river and and to give so they would
certainly be on the river and uh and they worked
more closely with the Native Americans this time. You know,
(40:30):
the French were very close to the Indians. That's what
was interesting about the French and how they did their settlements.
Because they were so close to the Indians. It worked.
Instead of having to fight the Indians, they joined the Indians,
and the Indians joined them, and they became partners so
the Indians came down with them, and they were great guides,
of course, and they told them how you could get
to the best place along the river that far down
(40:52):
the river, because at that point it's all swamp and marsh,
but you could find some ridges, some high ground. And
so the way to do it was you would they
would be a by you. There's a byou that back
then they connected the Mississippi River with Lake Maurepol, and
so they did that and they arrived there and then
the next day they were going to be in the
area where they wanted to build a city. And guess
(41:14):
what they day It was, Yep, you're right, Marti gras
d So they had a Mardi Gras party. So they
had a Mardi Gras party first on the west bank
and then secondly on the east bank. And the next
day they came into the city. They went through the Maopol,
passed Vanshak at Lake pontch train buy you Saint John
up the bayou to the end, which is the backside
of the French Quarter. And they started building the city.
(41:35):
And for the next fifty years, the ingress and negress
to New Orleans was not the Mississippi River. It was
too hard. It was Bay Saint Louis, the rigilies Lake
Pontch train that was about a fifty mile trip versus
one hundred mile trip on the river that of the
fiercest currents in the world for a large river, that
(41:56):
was very difficult to navigate. And so that remained the
entrance to the city, the back door, if you will,
from by Saint Johnthan eventually they had so much traffic
coming down the river that then then they had to
set up a port on the river, the Port of
New Orleans, of course. And what a fascinating story of
our ancestors, And to think that they were coming from
(42:17):
a city that encouraged freedom of religion, encouraged you know,
all the right things. Everybody had civil rights, on and
on and on the way countries and cities should be.
We have a wonderful beginning in this city. I just
wish we could restore the greatness of New Orleans. New
Orleans is a city in decline right now. It's one
(42:37):
of the most tragic I've watched it in my whole life.
I'm seventy four years old, and when I was young,
New Orleans was ranked as one of the top cities
in the world, the largest port in America. We were
the number ten, we were ranked in the top ten.
Now we're not even the top fifty, folks. Is terrible.
What's happened? And when you think the greatest water set
of wealth passes us every day going up the river
coming down the river in the world, what do we
(42:58):
get out of it. We could building factors, we could
be doing things like other cities do to become part
of that economy, part of that wealth, and we just
just blows right past us and we do nothing. We
have so many corrupt politicians they drive the good money
out of That has a lot to do with why
we're we're failing well, folks. It is time for us
to take another break. We'll be right back and we're
(43:19):
looking forward to seeing you on the other end when
we do our chaplain Bibi patriotic moment. We'll see you
in just a bit.
Speaker 5 (43:29):
Rescue, recovery, re engagement, these are not just words.
Speaker 3 (43:34):
These are the.
Speaker 5 (43:35):
Action steps we at the New Orleans Mission take to
make a positive impact on the homeless problem.
Speaker 3 (43:42):
Facing the Greater New Orleans area.
Speaker 5 (43:44):
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 they re engage
back into the community to be healthy, thriving, and living
(44:07):
a life of purpose.
Speaker 3 (44:09):
No one is meant to live under a bridge.
Speaker 5 (44:12):
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 go to

Speaker 4 (44:43):
Well, folks, we are back and you are listening to
the founders show the voice of the funding Fathers. And
this is none other than your host, Chaplain High McHenry
with our chaplain bye, By patriotic moment. We just take
a brief moment to remind you of the biblical foundations
of our country, our Judeo Christian or As prudence. And
today we want to talk about none other than Father Chinikee.
(45:04):
Father Chenekee, was a Canadian priest, A famous priest in Canada.
In fact, he stopped by him, said like almost single
handedly ended up establishing prohibition in Canada which stopped the
liquor trade. It's amazing what this man did in his lifetime.
But he loved something about America. He loved and he
had already started churches down here, so he decided to
move down here and he actually went independent instead of
(45:27):
remaining as a Catholic priest. He just became a minister
of the Gospel and an evangelist where he went up
and down and he had memorized, but had memorized, but
he knew the Bible extremely well. He loved the Bible.
He learned the Bible from the time he was a
kid from his father, and so he knew it very well.
As well as his religious education in the Catholic Church.
(45:49):
He really understands that stood the Bible. And he got
to know Abraham Lincoln before he was a president because
he was in that area. A lot of Canadians were
down in the Midwest. They had been there for generations,
for centuries, and he started some churches there. And when
Lincoln became the president. By the way, he loved America
(46:09):
because he saw that God's hand was upon it and
that God would do great things through this country. He
didn't say it about Canada, he said it about America.
When Lincoln was the president, and he picked up because
of his connections that there was a conspiracy against Lincoln
to kill him. And he went to Washington, and Lincoln
really loved Chenikee. Chenekee had a great influence over his life.
(46:31):
Many believed his father Chenekee won. There were three people, Moody,
Dwight Moody, and Sir Jarnov Smith. All three had a
very powerful influence on Lincoln to actually bring him to
a conversion to Christ where he was born again. He
trusted Jesus and he knew he was going to heaven
when he died. That happened the year before he did die,
and he started going down in the kitchen and praying
(46:52):
with the servants in the kitchen.
Speaker 3 (46:54):
That's how moved.
Speaker 4 (46:56):
Lincoln became over his experience with Jesus, so tried to
warn him, but it didn't work, as we know, and
tragically Lincoln was assassinated. What a man and what an
influence he and so many others like him had on
this country for our biblical foundations. That was in the
(47:18):
mid nineteenth century, folks, but it goes back to the
pre colonial period. I mean, it's amazing, it's absolutely amazing
the stories and the history of how God had his
hand on this country. Well, folks, God has his hand
on you. Well, if he doesn't, you want it. And
you'll find out how that can happen. As we now
go into our chaplain by by a gospel moment. Just
(47:38):
take a brief moment to show you how you can
be absolutely certain that when you die, you will be
saved from hell and guaranteed evan. You know, the Bible
says God loves you with an everlasting love, and you
know the scripture says the gospel is the power of
God unto salvation. Well, what is the gospel? Well, in
one Corinthians fifteen, it tells us, for our declarity of
the gospel, that Christ died for all of us according
(48:00):
to the scripture, that he was buried, and that he
rose from the dead according to the scripture. That's the
gospel death, bear of resurrection. That's it. That's plain and simple.
Speaker 3 (48:09):
And so.
Speaker 4 (48:12):
What does it take child like faith? Jesus said, unless
you come as a little child, you shall have no
wives enter in. So what is it child like faith?
What are we talking about here? It comes. We can
get a better understanding of it when we think about
the word repentance. Jesus kept saying repent and believe, repent
and believe. You see, our childlike faith is a two
sided coin of faith. On the first side, we believe
(48:35):
we can't save ourselves. Children get that pretty well because
they're so tiny and small and weak and whatnot. They
know they did something better help them, so they can
understand that a lot better than adults do. And so
we until we come to that place we realize we're
hopeless and helps without God, destined to a burning hell.
There's absolutely nothing we can do, and never we're gonna
(48:57):
be smart enough, rich enough, holy enough, charming enough, great enough.
Whatever we think we are, we're never going to be
that to measure up to God's standard of perfection. It
is beyond us. God's standard of perfection is beyond us.
Not to mention the fact that with sinners, we needed
a sinless man to pay the price for our horrible sins.
(49:17):
That sinless man's name is Jesus. He was one hundred
percent God and one hundred percent man. He was perfect
man and perfect God. He came to this earth to
take care of our sin problem and our death problem.
When he died on the cross for our sins, the
Bible says, his blood washed away all our sins. When
he rose from the dead, the Scripture says, his resurrection
(49:39):
one for us, each and every one of us, his precious,
free gift of resurrection, everlasting life. You see, the Scripture says,
we've been saved by grace. That word grace just means gift,
and it's free. Of course, we've been saved by grace
through faith. You take it by believing it's for you.
We've been saved by grace through faith. And even that
is not of ourselves. It is a gift of God,
(50:00):
not of works. Let'st any man should boast. You see,
even our faith is hard to come by. We don't
have it, really, but God puts it in us, in
every human being. The Bible says, the word of faith
has gone to all people. The Scripture says, the grace
of God, which brings salvation hath appear into all people.
So folks, we all get the same chance. We all
got it. And the Bible says, even if you don't
have the Bible. You can know about God through his creation.
(50:22):
The Scripture is very strong on that God. And everybody
would have a Bible. Wouldn't hear a preacher come in
and preaching the gospel? But you know what nature preaches
to him. They can see it there, and the Bible
says because of that, they're without excuse. So, folks, every
one of us are given an equal opportunity to know
God and know him forever, to become his child, to
be born again. That means you're dead and dying spirit
becomes fully alive. If you've never done that before, folks,
(50:45):
do it now. Don't wait till it's too late. Believe
right now with all of your heart that Jesus really
did die for all of your sins, was buried and
rose from the dead. Believe it right now, folks. The
scripture says, now today is the day of salvation. And
like the old country preacher said, don't wait till it's
too late. Well, folks, I'll tell you there's another thing coming,
and we don't want to be late for that. That's
when Jesus comes back. He's coming back, folks. It's called
(51:08):
the Second Coming. It's called the Apocalypse. It's in the
Book of Revelation, and they're over two hundred passages in
the Bible about Jesus's second coming. There were only one
hundred for us first coming. Now they're over two hundred
for a second coming. I think that means it's very,
very important. And you get a special crown in heaven.
That means rank. You get a crown in heaven because
(51:29):
you love the appearing of his coming. You're excited about
him coming back. You're ready for him coming back. Folks.
If you're not ready, you better get ready because it's
going to be bad when he comes. The Devil's going
to do everything he can to stop this, which means
he's going to go on a mass inbecilla crazy crusade
to try to stop it. He's gonna have a false
Christ called the anti Christ, who is going to appear
(51:51):
as some of this great wonder Worker in the middle
of the last seven years called the Tribulation period, and
he's going to be a liar and a thief and
a murderer, and it's going to cause more damage and
more destruction. He's going to be so powerful and cleveries
and try to get the whole world to worship him,
and many will. Don't be one of those folks. Don't
take the mark of the Beast six sixty six. Don't
(52:11):
do it. They're already setting up the economy for this
right now, with all the cryptocurrencies and all they're doing
with the world economies and the currency reset, all that.
It's all coming to bear on us right now. And
this talk all over the place about a messiah. They
even declared Obama to be the messiah. If y'all remember that.
Speaker 3 (52:31):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (52:33):
The Muslims are looking for him, the im and Mahdi,
the Buddhists, the Fifth Buddha, the Hindus, Krishna, all the
religions of the world are crying out for this great
Messiah to come. And it's going to be a fake one.
So folks, don't get caught, don't get tricked. If you
believe in Jesus, you can get tricked. You'll be safe.
He's the greatest safe house in bunker. You can ever
(52:53):
get the Lord Jesus Christ. By him right now and
by believing that he died for all your sins and
rose from you.
Speaker 1 (53:00):
Got to do.
Speaker 4 (53:00):
That's what when the scripture says the pearl of great price.
You're buying it with your faith. Your faith is your currency.
Believe it right now, folks, that Jesus did die for
all you, sends us bread and rose of the dead.
What's not time for us to close? As we close
with a mind Saint Martin singing a Creole goodbye, and
God bless you all out there.
Speaker 6 (53:26):
You call you weel goodbye. They think we're just wasting
out the time. All SIVL love me. There is time
(53:48):
for a Creo good bye.
