The Louisiana Special Session, Ladies and Gentlemen, enters its second
week of its twenty day session, and Ladies and Gentlemen,
we find that several key economic development credits are under
attack and may be destroyed. But at the same time
we may get a flat tax. We're going to talk
about the various things in your life that will be
tax that are not.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
We're also going to take a look at.

All that and more on this edition of The Founder's Show.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
And God bless you all out there. You are now
listening to The Founder's Show. The Voice of the founding Fathers.
You're founding fathers coming to you deep within the bowels
of those mystic and cryptic alligator swamps of the Big Easy,

Speaker 3 (01:49):
And before we go.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Into Trump World and go into the District of Columbia
and what will be the biggest social event of the
year forming up, which is d C Marty Grass coming up.
We're almost we're not till Christmas, and we're already talking
about DC Marty Grauware, Steve Scalise and Mike Johnson will
be reigning Supreme and Garrett Graves will be somebody who
is playing the role of king. And why all that
(02:12):
matters because of all of the Trump world that is
going to be coming there, and we talk about the
people who have been made and ascended into the cabinet
with some interesting, good choices, some interesting and weird choices,
and some interesting choices. Nonetheless, we got to talk about
interesting choices coming out of the Louisiana legislature. Now, since
November sixth, the day after the election, the legislative session
(02:34):
has focused on a major probably the biggest tax reform
in Louisiana history, even though the governor said since nineteen
seventy four, it's really some extent the biggest tax reform
in Louisiana history since the Huey Long era.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
And Christopher I hear that some of the conservative legislators
are opposed to it. Yeah, he's getting a push back
from his own side.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Well, a weird kind of thing happened. So for those
that don't know, I was. I mentioned this last week,
but I want to go into more detail. I was
there when the governor gave his opening speech, and it
was very much in the in the sort of the
basking of what had happened the day before in the election.
And you know, the governor very consciously came out and said,
(03:14):
you know, maybe we see a new opportunity based on
yesterday to do something fundamental. And the reason he was
trying to push into a little bit of the glow
coming off of Donald Trump's victory is because his tax
reform proposal has a lot of opposition. Now, let me
explain this. Very few people in the legislature, even on
(03:35):
the Democratic side, fundamentally have a problem with a three
percent flat tax and a three point five percent corporate tax.
That would cut the corporate income tax in half, and
it would lower the Louisiana personal income tax from a
top rate of four point twenty five percent to three percent,
and we wouldn't have a progressive income tax. Right now,
(03:55):
your tax one point eight five percent on the first
twelve five hundred dollars that would be completely eliminated. You
would we would have a twelve five hundred dollars standard
deduction for each individual, and then from there on it
would be three percent. That there are a couple in
the House Ways and Means Committee, Mandy Landry and Matthew
Willard of New Orleans both said this is a giveaway
(04:16):
to the rich, but the other Democrats in the committee
supported it, that itself is actually not very controversial amongst
it It was more than two thirds support, eighty six
votes out of the House that's way more than two thirds.
What's been controversial is how you're getting to that number,
how you're reducing income taxes to make this revenu neutral
(04:37):
because I hate to say it. You know, we aren't
the federal government. We aren't Donald Trump, who can say
run a deficit. Louisiana has a constitution, you know, print
Biden or Biden or anybody. Basically, we haven't run a
balanced budget since Bill Clinton and the Republican Congress will
be equally fair. But the fact new Gangridge, But the basic,
(04:58):
fundamental fact is you have to raise taxes elsewhere to
be able to make all the ends meet, and Howard's
and taxes. So I walk into the legislature high and
what everyone is talking about in the House of Representatives
is the fact that Jeff Landry of Acadiana was going
to put a tax on storing your boat.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Oh my goodness, So any boat of less than fifty feet.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Must it must have not been thinking clearly?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Well, I gotta tell you it was. It was something
a Cajun.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I mean, the words treason was was being uttered by Republicans.
Now you spell boat boat and so if basically anytime
you wanted to put up your boat of less than
fifty feet, you would have to pay what works out
to an eight to ten percent sales tax to paypon
with the final sales tax numbers if it were in
Orleans Parish at Shell Beach, for example, would be nine
(05:46):
point four or five. So that is not the only
thing they were putting sales taxes on some of the areas.
I got to go through this. I actually wrote this
in a column and my publisher was like, do you
sure you want me to public wish this because it's
just the list of all the things we're going to tax.
Besides the boat tax, you'd get a basic nine ten
(06:08):
percent sales tax on the following I'm gonna do this. This
is speed round, car washes, coin operated machines, computer software,
condominium time shares, dating services and marriage bureaus, delivery, shipping,
freight and taxings as FedEx ups, non medical, diet and
weight reduction, immediate property repairs, installation services, information services, newspapers,
(06:35):
interior decorating, interstate limousine bus and ubers, taxi cabs, landscaping, laundry,
linen supply, machine and equipment, operating, mailing services, marina services, parking,
personal fitness training, pet grooming, boarding, sitting, et cetera. Photography, photographics, studios,
photo finishing, private processes, quilting, embroidery, repairs, possession services, restroom operations,
(07:02):
to go to the toilet.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
If you've got to pay, you got to pay.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Security services, event plannings, catering services, spa services, rental space
for meeting, short term, long term weddings, funerals, even churches, perceptions,
tanning services, tattooing, travel agents is travel package, travel clubs,
cable TV direct to home that's Netflix, satellite services, video streaming, inheritce,
(07:27):
warning agreements, and repairs from warranties. So even if you've
got your prepares in your car covered by your warranty,
you still got to pay a tax on it. Waste
collection and disposal services that isn't municipal waste disposal, personal shopping,
photo finishing, repairs of personal property, wrecking and toing services,
and most importantly the least popular of all, a ten
(07:49):
percent tax on lobbyists. Wow, I mean, so you pay
somebody the lobby obviously the lobby for free.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
It doesn't, but it is.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
So you can imagine that that list was pretty comprehensive.
Now the idea behind it, and this is something that
I really think the media in Louisiana has failed at
is not explained that none of this is new. What
it's doing is converting the Louisiana sales tax to what
is a Canadian style goods and services tax, where basically
you're paying sales tax on services. I'll have to tell
(08:15):
you this, a lot of services were already taxed. So
one of the points that Governor made in that long
and expansive list, and we probably lost half of our
audience when I went through that list, was the fact
that he said, is it really fair that you can
get if you get taxed on getting your hair done,
but you don't get taxed on getting a tattoo or
you know.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Basically it's kind of this.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
So he said, are tax free?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Yeah, tats are tax free right now.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
So essentially he said, we're getting rid of every sales tax.
We're putting sales tax on everything. But he wants to
get rid of sales taxes on prescription drugs completely, which
are partially sales tax. So the idea that would be
the one exception, but everybody would get taxed. So that's
not popular. Then we take it a step further. If
you do all of those taxes, and you still lower
(09:03):
the corporate and personal income tax rates and get rid
of what's called the corporate franchise tax, which in Louisiana
is one of the worst things we have about business development.
We basically tax you on just existing on breathing if
you're a corporation, and a lot of our surrounding states don't.
So we got to get If you get rid of all.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
That, you still have a gap of about five.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
To six hundred million dollars, and so guess how they're
going to plug that gap. The idea was to get
rid of all of the incentive taxes tax credits that exist.
This would include the biggest of them all, which is
the Quality Jobs Credit, And so if people don't know,
you get about six percent back on your payroll. And
(09:49):
this is not just big corporations. A lot of businesses
that are less than fifty employees get it. As some
of you know, I'm the director of external affairs of
the New Orleans Opera. This is a very important tax
credit for us because it's it's basically bringing in new personnel.
We get a small amount, it's not a huge amount.
The second piece would be getting rid of all of
the incentive arts credits, the live performance tax credits. I'm
(10:13):
very personal. This is very personal to me because I
helped write them. Those better known as the Broadway South credits.
These give you a percentage back. It's basically thirty five
percent in production and the digital credits. Most people don't
realize this, but Louisiana has become the center of recording
in the country, and they're recording it. We don't see that,
but a lot of people come down here to record music,
(10:35):
to record to do a lot of video games and
a video game production because we get a credit on that.
And the one that you have heard about, which is
a film tax credit, which is also a thirty five
percent production credit, along with five percent more for hiring
Louisianians and several others. Collectively, all of that together creates
about a five hundred million dollar hole in the budget.
(10:56):
But and this is the butt the film tax credit.
It's a good example. We know the stats. It's cost
one hundred and fifty million dollars. You know what the
film industry is in Louisiana three hundred and sixty million
dollars now This is where the math is really important.
The state will say, well, we only get back ten
percent on every dollar that we use, so ninety cents
(11:19):
we're paying out we don't get back in revenue. The
problem is, they say, state revenue parishes make that back.
So if you actually look at tax collection, it's not
ninety ninety cents in the dollar that you lose. It's
something like twenty or thirty, which isn't a bad return.
It's one of those things that they said, the GDP
growth is only sixty percent of the tax credit. Well,
(11:40):
I keep wondering about that. The GDP growth is only
sixty percent of second credit.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
But wait a second.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
We spend one hundred and fifty and we get three
hundred and sixty million. How is that fifty? How is
that sixty percent? Well, it's more than doubles. That's more
than one hundred percent growth. But I actually make a
statement and I said, it's not just the film industry.
For example, live performance tax credits. One of the things
it does is it's the production of sets and materials
(12:08):
for shows. Now, let me give you something you haven't
heard of. The New Orleans Opera owns its own scene shop.
It is we actually send the sets to thirty five
to fifty productions a year around the United States, including
three to four in Canada.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
Each year.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
We ship them all over the country, we send people
to do it. That supports twenty jobs in New Orleans,
high paying union jobs, and none of that is in
the mathematics of the tax credits. So we're looking at basically,
you're looking at a loss of ten or more jobs
(12:47):
based on this tax credit that actually increases the GDP
of Louisiana, the gross domestic product, the amount of goods
and services we do in a year. And the reason
I'm saying all of this is these are easy political
targets to make, but they hurt the other things. And
that's why some legislators. So the governor called all these
legislators in and I'm not going to name them on
the air, but they're very close friends and frequent guest
(13:09):
on this program, and they said, look, we got a problem.
You're asking us to go back to our coastal Louisiana
recipients and say we're going to tax your boat, we're
going to tax your hair appointment, we're going to tax Netflix.
And by the way, you're going to get rid of
our film industry, our performance industry, and quality jobs. While
it affects us here in the arts, it's a lot
(13:29):
of industrial jobs, a lot of chemical jobs. So you
want us to go to the chemical plants and say
they got to layoff people. How are you going to
do this? Where is the five hundred and six hundred
million dollars coming from? And the governor as we go
on our main airing on Sunday, this is appearing before
it's called the Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Committee in the Senate.
So here is the what the governor said to these legislators. Look,
(13:52):
we will work out a deal before this goes to
the Senate. We will work out a deal before this
coming next Sunday, which is when most people are listening
to this program. Before ladies and gentlemenly check the date
on that. You know, we'll work out by by the
eighteenth of November that there will be a deal. So
far we haven't heard this deal. But the deal is,
(14:14):
how will the preserve some, if not all, of these
tax credits? Now, how you do it? It's really simple. The
Governor's proposal puts if you live in Orleans Parish or
in Jefferson. Basically, you have a nine point four to
five percent sales tax. Guess what that other five point
five percent would bring you in if you will, it's
(14:36):
to that point four to five cents on the dollar,
up to a penny on every item. That creates what
another six hundred million dollars. So the answer is you
can just simply up the sales tax. But that means
that you're paying a ten percent levee on everything in
your life.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
That's a devastating.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
That's devastating for the poor.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
So if you you get hit the hardest from sales,
so if you.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Were, if you're a legislator who've gone along with this,
And remember I said there wasn't a lot of opposition
each of amongst many Democrats on the idea of lowering
a flat tax because under the way it's currently set up,
the average person because the deductions are raised to twelve
five hundred year, or put another way, every couple's first
twenty five thousand dollars isn't taxed. And under the plan,
(15:25):
you actually got did better. You'd make about two hundred
and twenty nine dollars more a year. You actually your
state of affairs improved but if you increase sales taxes,
guess what you're now breaking even or maybe losing money considerably.
And for Jeff Landry, if you're in the position where
everybody's hyper sensitive about inflation and prices, the last thing
(15:48):
you want to be. It's one thing to say we're
going to tax things that aren't taxed right now. That
hurts people, but increasing the sales tax basically hurts some more.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
But it's one of those quixotic choices.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
So I will we freely tell you that if we
destroy the film and live performance, which this will do,
the impact will be thousands of jobs if you're Jeff Landry.
But you know, it's really easy if you live in
other parts of the state outside of the metropolitan New
Orleans area or Lafayette or Baton.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Rouge where they're doing all the recordings.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Well, but yeah, exactly, it's easy to sell rule legislators
in the idea, oh, we're gonna get those people that
film industry down in US because they don't feel it,
they don't see it with this live performance. It's they
don't the chemical plants disproportionately or along the river on
the coastal areas. And so if you live in rule Louisiana.
This falls into the addedage, the rustle long rule of
(16:40):
Louisiana taxations. You don't tax me, tax the guy behind
a tree. That because this is these are the guys
behind the tree, and this is the point. And actually, look,
I know I'm sometimes critical of Jeff Landry. I'm going
to give him a lot of credit. This isn't incredibly
if he had to choose the hardest thing to do,
(17:02):
it is try to reform Louisiana's more fun tax system.
Because here's where he's right. This is coming from me,
folks who has been often sometimes skeptical about Jeff Landry.
We have a seven and a half percent corporate income tax,
that's one of the highest corporate income taxes in the
United States. We are surrounded on three sides by three
states that have no income tax Texas, Florida, and Tennessee.
(17:25):
And in those and guess where the three states are,
and Jeff Landry put it out that receive the most
amount of Louisiana and leaving the state those Texas, Florida,
and Tennessee. We're running our people away. So we have
to do something good business from coming so by lowering
our corporate lowering our tax rates. Louisiana will have the
(17:47):
lowest income tax rate in the United States. We'll still
have an income tax, but will will be at the
very bottom of the taxodes along Pennsylvania, Indiana, and US.
But if we throw the baby out with the bathwater
high this is one. So here's a question, and you're
always a deep thinker about this, I'm posing this question.
(18:09):
If you're in Jeff Landry's position, what are.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
You going to do?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Are you going to kill the entire arts industry in
Louisiana and make a lot of chemical plants, which are
high paying, good jobs, people paying seventy thousand a year
with a high school education. Are you going to endanger
those jobs in order to get this or are you
going to raise the sales tax by a penny which
is going to be a tough vote for a lot
of rural Republican legislators, much less Democrats, because it hurts
(18:34):
their people in order to have a competitive tax system.
But we're an incredibly poor state, and you know it,
working with your kids. An extra penny on the dollar
may seem like very little, but that's the difference between
buying a loaf of bread and buying a bologny with it,
or just buying the Bolognian not the bread, or you're
(18:55):
making real choices on the most basic elements of life,
food materials.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
I mean, it's a Faussian choice.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
We've been because they've been hit so hard by all
this inflation that's making it even harder. I mean, it's
it's the.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Whole thing inflation. And this is where the Democrats fail
in the presidential election. No, No, it's it's not just
that we had inflation. It's that they didn't offer anything
went a way out when you, let's put it, somebody
actually articulated the impact of inflation. In twoenty nineteen, one
hundred dollars would buy you an X amount of groceries,
(19:33):
right to buy that X amount of groceries today is
one hundred and twenty five dollars.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Yea, but Christopher, I've got it.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
That's that's the most articulate. It is. We are twenty
five percent poorer than we used to do well.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
And I don't I don't think those numbers are accurate
because I'm just looking at how much gas has gone up,
how much basic commodities have gone up, way beyond twenty percent,
way beyond sometimes two and three times that we were
paying for. Look at fast food places double their prices.
Now that's not twenty percent. So I don't know where
they getting a twenty percent. Twenty five is twenty five
(20:02):
where they get in it, But it's got to be
from I don't know. I'd love to know how they
came up with it, because now I don't say it
in the basic things that we're buying in the stores,
the basic needs of the average person, I don't see.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
You know they took they took well, I'll answer your questions.
They took the top two hundred items that you buy
in a grocery store.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
And you know, I'm saying probably people don't buy.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
No, no, I mean this would be milk, egg eggs.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Had gone up doubled. I mean, you know, chrispher this
is the appage.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Well, it's the average.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Milk has gone with everything's gone well.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
But I can also say, for example, right now, the
gas the price of gasoline in most of the city
is about two dollars and seventy five cents roughly roughly.
So let me let me articulate this other way. Prior
to the pandemic because the price of gas fell during
the pandemic because so many people, so few people are driving.
(20:54):
Prior to the pandemic, the price of gasoline was two
dollars and seventy five cents. Where no, no, it was, yes,
it was here, it was, it was. This is where
we're going in and out. So some items aren't more expensive.
Other items like eggs are twice the expense. When you
average everything out on a basic level, you're finding we're
(21:16):
about twenty five percent, which is still I'm not defending
that high. It's it's horrendous. It means unless you're making
twenty five percent more, and I guarantee you the average
person is not making twenty five percent more than they
made four years ago, that's you're doing worse. You're doing
much much worse. So it's one of those situations.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Yeah, the fact income never never catches up with inflation,
It always lags behind.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
It does eventually, but it's a lagging takes it takes
about five years. And we're also in a situation where
our incomes were effectively static for twenty years inflation.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Here's the flip side.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
We had twenty years of a situation with no inflation
and it didn't matter for Republicans or Democrats were and this
is one of the questions.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
One of the.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Reasons why was because we had goods coming from overseas
that kept the market in competition very effectively. No matter
how you look at it, whether we don't put on
one tariff that doesn't exist anymore, the same way we
don't have as much cross border that's that's something that
happened because of the pandemic.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Tariffs could make that worse.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
And it's one of those situations where we've got a
political strategy. I've got talk about what Harris mishandled. Somebody
asked me that and said, how would you have handled that?
I said, you don't attack Donald Trump on tariffs. When
you have tariffs, you go out if you're if you're
you've got two choices. If you're Kamala Harris, you could
have gone out and said, you know what Donald Trump
(22:45):
is doing tariffs, we're doing We're doing more. You could
outbid him. Democrats can always outbid you in taxes. Tariffs
are taxes, after all, they're sales tax they're taxes. Or
you could turn around and say, you know what, I
disagree with Joe Biden on this. He put these tariffs on.
He was trying to protect some industries. We were in
a unique situation with the pandemic coming out of it.
(23:05):
My goal is we will have zero tariffs because this
will lower prices. Now will that I've worked in our
political environment, I have no idea. Probably not. But you
don't come in and say I support tariffs but not
as good much as the other guy. And the other
guy wants more tariffs, but I don't. But I like
tariffs here. It's such, it's a it's a schizophrenic message.
(23:26):
That doesn't make it when people are worried about prices.
That's the problem Jeff Landry has. If he raises sale taxes,
he's going to be attacked. But at the same time,
if he gets rid of his current plan all of
these incentive plans and destroys an entire industry. If you
think that's not going to attack him. There is a
lot of legislators in the Senate who are looking at
(23:48):
this package and are saying, you know what, I know
we have really high corporate income taxes. I know we
really have this, but well in a different way, no,
or do nothing. There is something they can do that
they could do is they could cut the corporate income
tax in half. Because we did something kind of interesting,
and we did it over a decade ago. We set
(24:09):
the ceiling of corporate income taxes, the maxi amount we
could collect, and what the legislator did. Legislature did is
they said, if you collect more than this amount, then
it will go into a rainy day fund and we
won't spend it. It just goes to payoff debt, or
it goes for savings for a rainy day if we
run a deficit. And they set that number so impossibly
high that they thought it will be one hundred years
(24:31):
before I get there.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
It took them ten to get to that.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
And so he could actually cut corporate income taxes with
nothing changing. He could cut it down corporate income taxes
down to the level of the personal income tax, which
wouldn't change anything substantially, but it would still be a thing,
and you don't have to change anything else. But regardless,
I don't have a lack of admiration for what Jeff
Landry is trying to do. And I say that with
(24:54):
total honesty, but I also know that he's going to
put tens of thous He's going to put at least
ten thousand p people out of work in Louisiana's creative industries,
and that is not exaggeration. That's based on statistics from
the film, live performance and also related chemical industries. If
he follows his plan and that is a solution, that
(25:16):
is just another problem.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Of course, for one thing, he is getting a lot
of I understand a fair amount of pushback from his
own conservative people. He's getting basically seeing what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Basically, if if you represent a city, or you represent
a metropolity, represent any place of water, which last time
I checked, Louisiana has a lot of water, a lot
of coastline, you're basically like, are you out of your mind?
So I'm I'm guessing that they're trying to come together
a plan, and I don't know what this plan is
going to look like. I am hearing from legislators that
(25:48):
this final as we air, So by the time you
hear on Monday and Wednesday broadcast, we probably will know
what that plan looks like, if this is going to survive.
But I know for our Sunday listeners, when you get
off the here is when the revenue and fiscal Affairs
Committee is going to be and we're going to see
watch the news on Sunday afternoon and you're going to
see some very weird stuff coming in this platform as
(26:10):
the House has passed that this collection of eight bills
and constitutional amendment is going to look very different.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
The one thing I think it'll look the same.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I think you're going to see the three percent income
tax and the three point five percent corporate tax that
will stay the same, but everything else may look totally
totally different than what you expect.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Yeah, you know, Christopher, being the history nerds that you
and I are, we might find this interesting. I do.
And the fact that you said this is more like
the Canadian plan and when you realize New Orleans was
founded by whom Canadians is South Louisiana. The one thing
I think it's interesting. I don't know if that's why
it's happening like this, but is there something in the
metaphysical world that is creating the good strange phenomena? Well,
(26:50):
I'm kidding, folks. Yeah, it is interesting.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
I will say if we're all descended from Quebecker's but
you know what the GST is and.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Go back Montreals and know's going.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
No, I'm talking for people from the province of Quebec.
Oh oh, I say, yeah, not the city of Quebec,
the province of Quebec. Most of them came yeah Montreal.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
The fact is their GST, their sales tax on everything
is fifteen percent. So as much as we might think
about how terrible a ten percent sales tax would be,
in fairness to it, I mean they pay fifteen cents
on everything, they buy, everything, they rent, every service that.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
They never complain. You know why they're so polite. Very
has said reputation of their people are very, very polite,
no matter what you do. Oh, nice to see you.
No worries you just wrecked the car. No worries.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Well, I mean when the GST was passed, it was
actually created by a conservative government. And this is the
warning I give, and this is how we'll clone it.
Since you brought the Canadian example. It was created by
the government of Brian mulroney and it was supposed to
be a great reform. They were putting a higher sales
tax on everything to cut income taxes.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Right.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Yeah, Brian Roney's government had the largest electoral swing against
a conservative government in history. They went from one hundred
and thirty eight members of the Canadian House of Commons
to two.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Part of that was because they had another conservative party
that came out of the West called the Reform Party,
and you're seeing a very similar phenomenon going on the UK.
That's why it's that's why Nigel Faras called it the
Reform Parties based on what Canada, and they eventually that
Reform Party took over the Conservatory Party. But the fact
is this one thing, putting a high sales tax to
cut income tax was the death knell of a government
(28:40):
that was trying to do exactly what Jeff Landry is doing.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
That's the warning I'm giving him, very good, and.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
So I understand why he's a little afraid he's willing
to throw away our entire film and live performance industry, which,
by the way, having said that, we don't have a
lot going for us in Louisiana.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
We're desperate for new business and the one.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Thing we do really well is perform on stage and
perform in movies and act in music, particularly the recording
of music, which has created so many below the line jobs.
Putting out and doing the as we do at the
New Orleans Opera, the staging for all these other shows
around the country.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
It's one of the few things.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
For God's sake, don't kill the goose that laid the
golden egg. Governor, for the love of God, this is
Please call your legislator. You're hearing this on a Sunday,
their work, and you got a cell phone number. Get
on the phone and say, save our live performance tax credits.
Save our quality jobs credits. That's what it's called, save
our film tax credits.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
But at the same like you said, the industry on the.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
River, industry in the river, because if you get rid
of the quality jobs credits, you're going to stop people.
You know, the average person in a chemical plant coming
out of high school, with a little bit of training
on the job training can make it a chemical plant seventy's.
They start at fifty five and make seventy within three years.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
How many other jobs can you graduate from high school
and go in and making enough to support a family?
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Come on, are we going to get rid of those jobs? Please? People?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
All right, folks, speaking of crazy people getting jobs that
they shouldn't, We're going to talk about the Trump cabinet
when we come back Chris.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
The thing that if that runs people out of town,
then that's like an avalanche of economic loss, is that
they're going to be going and creating the economy for
other states.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Well, that's the whole thing, and we're going to let
me lose that. I know, I know, I'm over time.
I'm really I'm looking at our producer and saying, who's
shaking her head? But I'm saying this. Let me give
you an example. They're going to put a ten percent
tax on printing. Okay, that includes when you're putting a newspaper,
printing anything. I hate to tell you this, there's a
place called Mississippi right next to us that has no
tax on printing. Where do you think all of our
(30:45):
printing industry is going to go?
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Of course, right over the board.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
So this these tax reforms have very pragmatic short term no,
I think if you put a ten percent tax and tattooing,
I doubt people are going to go to MISSISSIPI do,
but maybe they might. But I guarantee you in some
of these areas when it's shipping, if you live in
on the North Shore, it's not that big a deal
to go past Pearl River and go right over to
Pickyun and do this stuff. It's there are real world
(31:12):
implications of these incredibly high taxes. And Governor, be careful.
I laud you, I applaud you for wanting to cut
the income tax. This is a good thing, but be
careful because if you're putting these taxes, you're going to
have like a revolt. I got to tell you. When
you get a bunch of Cagun's mad at you coming
to the Capitol because you're putting a tax on storing
(31:34):
their boat, good luck with that, Governor.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
Your own people will turn against.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
And even though you grow up on a boat and
you're one hundredercent pure bread cage in man, it won't matter.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
It won't matter. Folks.

Folks, as Chappenhei mcinny, I'm here to tell us you
about our ministry. Lamb At Ministry is. We're an inner
city ministry with an inner city farmula and focus for
inner city folks. Please check us out, go to our
website l A M b n O l A dot com,
or just call me Chaplin Hi McHenry at Aera code
five zero four seven two three nine three six nine. Folks,
(33:40):
this is a very challenging ministry. We've seen remarkable results.
We've had approximately five thousand kids come to Christ. We've
had hundreds go on to live productive, successful lives that
they would have never had before. You know, many of
them are known as short terms by them their own
usage of the word of the phrase and what that
(34:00):
means is by their mid twenties are going to be
either dead in jailful life or elimining at the homeless mission.
They all know that and they think that's acceptable. They
think that's normal, that's just the way life is. That's
a great tragedy that's here. But when they see the
light of Jesus and they see that they really can
have a better life and make a difference, they go far.
It's amazing to see this. So if you're interested in
(34:22):
a very challenging ministry, please get in touch with us.

Hi.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
You know, Thanksgiving has a lot of very important dishes.
We think of the turkey stuffing, but I don't know
about you. You know, one of my favorite parts of
Thanksgiving is the mac and cheese. Oh yeah, I love
the mac and cheese. And most people don't realize Tell
them too. Yeah, most people don't realize this because there's
so much argument where it came from. But there's a
good art. The mac and cheese was developed here in
New Orleans. Really celebrate this well. The Southern Food and

(37:08):
And that spelled with two US's. And so, without further ado,
this is a chaplin hih mcinry with.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
Christopher Tedmore and ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
You know, we're spending so much time talking about Louisiana,
obviously because this is the biggest tax reform but urgent.
We can't ignore what's going on in DC.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
Now.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
It's good, it's been a good thing for Louisiana. As
you might know, Mike Johnson looks like he's going to
be easily re elected as Speaker, but he still had opposition.
So Trump dealt with this opposition by well making him
attorney general. That some of these choices, I have to
admit or have been strange. Now, it started off when
when Trump started naming his cabinet. I actually was a
(37:45):
little relieved. Trump had appointed Marco Rubio to be the
Secretary of State.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
And he's a.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
Hawk, he's a supporter of Ukraine. He's basically everything I
was looking for. And then when he appointed his National
Security advisor, was like, oh, this is pretty good. I mean,
he's he appointed somebody who's got greatly respected. His name
is represented Mike Waltz. He's he's a China Hawk, he's
a national security he's a veteran, you know, a.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
Highly decorated soldier as special Force, very much.
Speaker 4 (38:13):
A he's a go getter. He's he's got maturity to.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Okay, and then okay, just when you think everything's gonna
go fine and Trump World, God help us all, Tuc
Gabbard became Director of National Intelligence. I'm sorry, Toucy Gabbart
has been a Putin apologist, and I don't mean that
in a light sence. She's basically defended Putin throughout the
entire Ukraine War. Is one thing about saying Ukraine is
(38:38):
not a place we should be. There's another defending Vladimir Putin.
And this is the head of all. This is the
person in charge of the CIO, on top of the
CIA and everything else. You know, when you think things
are going he puts Pete Hoggsworth For those that don't know.
Instead of choosing a well known hand to be Defense Secretary,
(38:58):
he chooses a Fox TV Mourning TV host who has
no experience in the senior levels of the military. Barely
any in the military.
Speaker 4 (39:08):
Oh no, he's got a lot of twenty years he served,
he's a combat medals.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
No, but he is not.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Someone who's ever been in military administration. He's never been
he's never worked in the departments.
Speaker 4 (39:22):
You and I bet that can be an advantage if
you knew the military like I know it. There are
a lot of military folks who are looking happily about
this because usually the guys that are getting administration, they're
the guys who are winning the paper wars, but they're
not real combat people. And and and because of that,
they don't understand the combat veteran. Okay, and so he's
(39:43):
give the guy a chance. But look, he's going to pass.
He's got to pass, you know, the all the interrogations
he's gonna have. He may not make it. You guys
are one thing you just said, he doesn't have enough
time and experience with dealing with administrative issues.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
So I looked at that, and I was like, this
is not a great decision, But okay, let me give
Trump a little credit. Let me try to think like
you were saying, he at least served, he's got some
military experience. And then I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
The next choice just completely threw me off the debate
(40:19):
after Pete because at least he's gonna want to end
because he knows how terrible, just like I would.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
This is, you don't want to go to war.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
So, ladies and gentlemen, at this point we go and
we say, well, what Trump wants to get? Mike Johnson
re elected a speaker who's the one person professed to
vote against Mike Johnson pretty much against everything. He never
votes for anything, even in his own party. And that
of course Matt Gates. How did how did Johnson get in? Well,
(40:50):
so I can imagine this meeting at mar A Lago. Well, Matt,
I want you, it says, Matt, I want you to
vote for Johnson. Well, what what you offering, mister president?
And he gives him the Attorney general ship. I'm sorry,
Matt Gates has has has behaved. Mike Johnson is a
lot of things, but he's a doctrinaire conservative. You and
I both know this. He's not only from Louise and
it's not loyalty. There's nothing that is wrong with the guy.
(41:13):
And Matt Gates kept doing this thing against him personally,
saying he's not good enough, and everybody would ask Matt Gates,
what exactly.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
Do you want?
Speaker 2 (41:23):
He's literally with you on every single issue, and his
Matt Gates's answer is he should decide to shut down
the entire country and including not pay our military people,
not pay our social security, not do any of that,
just to make a point when we don't control the
entire government. And I'm looking at this, I'm saying that
(41:44):
is the answer of a pendantic child who's standing in
the corner.
Speaker 4 (41:53):
This sounds like a guy I'm going to tell you.
Speaker 3 (41:56):
I'm going to tell you something.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
This guy sounds like somebody who he was doing more
work for the Democrats than he was for the Republicans acting,
and we're going to have this guy become Attorney general.
Speaker 4 (42:05):
Well, Christopher, one thing we know means he's aggressive and
he will clean that office out. I guarantee you.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
I don't think so. I think this guy is all
about the show. But then we go through all of this.
Speaker 4 (42:17):
So remember, they've got to pass the they've got to be.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
They're going to pass. I'm sorry, I think with fifty three.
Speaker 4 (42:23):
They have that yeah, interrogations and all that question them that.
Speaker 3 (42:26):
Yeah, because Hi.
Speaker 2 (42:27):
I mean very basically, the in most situations, the Senate
is going to defer to the president's cabinet. But in
this particular situation, I think it's very easy to say
that they're going to say it. But then we come
and this is where the Senate may have a problem.
We come to the appointment on Thursday of RFK Junior
(42:48):
as Head of Health and Human Services.
Speaker 4 (42:50):
Now, I know you think this is now he's had
years of experience with that. Now, well he's, let's face it,
for vaccinations, Christopher. He's led the anti VACS movement, but
he doesn't have experience. He's not a doctor, a medical professional.
He's a very good environmental lawyer, a very good attorney,
but that doesn't have anything to do with running the
(43:11):
Department of Health and Services. But that is the oversight
of how to pay for medical treatment that's Medicare, Medicaid,
and how to keep the industry essentially operating to save lives.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
And I've got news for you. In a situation where
we're watching smallpox and whooping cough and of diseases that
have previously died out coming back because people are afraid
of getting vaccinations, I don't know of sending an anti
vaxxer as the secretary of the Department is the greatest
(43:48):
move on earth, especially since and I'm going to say
one other thing, a guy who is outspokenly pro choice
in charge of the reimbursements to hospitals for abortions that
come under government funding, and RFK Jr. In his campaign
said that he was very much supportive of government funding
(44:11):
of abortion and he would do anything in government to
make that happen, regardless of what's often called the High
Amendment that's supposed to put this hard wall. We saw
through Obama, we saw through others that this can be done.
And this is the guy we're putting in charge of
the department, guy who professes.
Speaker 4 (44:26):
That, well, time will tell us. Come on, hi, come on, Well,
you know people have changed now that remember, Congress has
to vote all this stuff in, and he's got to
do what Congresses tell him to do, what the presidents
tell him to do.
Speaker 2 (44:37):
This works so well when we had a Republican Congress
and a Democratic president.
Speaker 4 (44:40):
Got to say one and last saying Trump is moving
like Gree's lightning. He's supersonic right now. It's amazing to
see how quickly he's building his cabinet. That's got to
set a record that alone. But then he knows he's
in a and folks, I said this last time. Please
remember we've had a great victory, but that victory is
only to give us a chance or the battle that's
(45:01):
really going to count, and that's really changing this country.
We've got to change this country arts over with. So
don't let your guard down. Fight harder than you ever had.

Speaker 5 (45:32):
Rescue, recovery, re engagement. These are not just words. These
are the action steps we at the New Orleans Mission
take to make a positive impact on the homeless problem
facing the greater New Orleans Area. Did you know in
twenty twenty, homelessness in our community increased by over forty percent.
(45:54):
We are committed to meet this need through the work
being done at the New Orleans Mission. We begin the
rescue process by going out into the community every day
to bring food, pray, and share the love of Jesus
with the hopeless and hurting in our community. Through the
process of recovery, these individuals have the opportunity to take
(46:16):
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 a life
of purpose. No one is meant to live under a bridge.
(46:39):
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 (47:08):
Folks. We're back and you're listening to the Founder Show,
and it's not time for us to go into our
chaplain by by a patriotic moment, which is in a
very short time, I give you a brief history lesson
on the Biblical foundations of our country, our judy of
Christian jurisprudence. And remember this is Chaplin hig McHenry. And
today we're going to talk about a famous Frenchman that
came to America about ten years after Lafayette came. His
(47:30):
name was Alexis Tolkville. He's considered to be one of
the greatest political philosophers and the political scientists in the
history of the world. He wrote what is considered to
be It was his opus, and considered to be one
of the most monumental works on democracy, called Democracy in America.
He traveled through America, and he came, he said, looking
for the greatness of America and the genius of America.
(47:50):
What made America great? Well, he said, he arrived, and
our teaming, saw our harbor's teaming with commerce. He went
into our marketplaces a business and saw great profits being made.
He crossed our fruited plains and observed the enormous agricultural
production we had. He went to our institutions of higher
(48:11):
learning and found and just and seeking for the secret.
What was the secret? And yet he found it not.
He read our maationless constitution and attended our great halls.
Still the secrets was held from him. It was not
until he went to the churches of America and saw
their pulpits aflame with a gospel of righteousness, and he
realized what the true secret of America was, what had
(48:32):
made America great. He said, America is great because America
is righteous and good. But the day that America quits
being righteous and good will be the day America quits
being great. Folks, we want to make America great again,
we better remember what made us great to begin with,
and that is God. And this story has been told
repeatedly in so many ways throughout our history. So, folks,
(48:55):
you want to make America great. I know we got
a great man in the office right now who could
do that. But you know what, it's a lot bigger
than it's about God. We the people really need to
turn to God. If we want to help Trump, we
better get on our knees more than we've ever been
before and get right with God because that's the key
to the greatness of America. Well, folks, what about you.
Do you have that kind of greatness in you? Because
(49:15):
it all starts with you. And what I mean by
that is, do you have a relationship with your creator
and savior? The Lord Jesus Christ. So I'm gonna tell
you how you can do that. As we now go
into our Chapel Bah Bah gospel moment. You know, the
Bible says, for God so loved the world, that's you,
and that's everybody, that he gave his only begotten son,
that's the Lord Jesus Christ, perfect God and perfect man,
all the way God and all the way man. He
gave his only begotten son. That whosoever that's you again
(49:37):
believeth in him. Well, what do you believe? You got
to believe something, just believing in him. This is what
you have to believe. The Bible says that Jesus died
for all of your sins from the day you're born
today you die your tiniest to your greatest sins. He
was buried, and he rose in the dead to win
for you his precious free gift of resurrection, everlasting life.
(49:58):
That's what you have to believe in. He says that
whosoever believeth in him, believe that he's perfect God and
perfect man, all the way God, all the way man,
and that he is the savior, and that he can
be your savior if you will put childlike faith with
all your heart in this great Gospel message with the
scripture says it's the power of God into salvation. Believe
in the Gospel right now. The Gospel said, the Bible
says that Christ died for all your sins, was buried
(50:20):
and roseman dead. And I want to say all your sins.
When the Bible says that, it means from the day
you're born to the day you die, you're tiniest to
your greatest sins. Believe that right now that all that
sin was washed away by the precious blood of the
Lord Jesus Christ when he died for your sins, and
then when he rose to the dead again, he took
care of your death problem by winning for you his resurrection,
everlasting life. If you've never believed that before, do it now.
(50:42):
Don't wait till it's too late, Folks, the end is neared.
Don't wait till it's too late. You may not get tomorrow.
So that's why the scripture says now today is a
day of salvation. And because the end is near, I
want to give you a little brief update on the
end times that we're in right now. I don't have
a lot of time for this but just look around you, folks,
what do you see? Turmoil, distress of nations as scripture said,
(51:03):
wars and rumors of wars, diseases, pandemics, earthquakes, do you
name it. It's all coming down on us in an
exponential fashion right now. Those are all the signs of
the end. And Jesus said they all had to happen
at the same time. They're over two hundred prophecies and
they've just about every last one of them have happened,
are happening right now, right before us. So, folks, that
means Jesus is coming back soon, he said. When you
(51:24):
see all these things, when they're all coming together at
the same time, that I'm even at the door. Folks,
if you've never believed this before, you need to do
it now. You need to believe that Jesus is coming
back soon. So you'll be ready. You won't be caught,
you know, blindsided, You'll be ready. Get ready, folks. You
need a bunker, you need a safe house. You won't
(51:45):
get a better one than the Lord Jesus Christ. Go
to him right now and believe that he really did
die for all your sins. Was Barion rose that he
guarantees you ever lasting life. Please, folks, do it now,
don't wait till it's too late. Well, folks, it's by
time for us close with a mound Saint Martin sing
and a creole goodbye. And I want you to know
now the battle's not over. We got to keep up
(52:07):
the fight. Thomas Trevor said, Eternal vigilance is the price
of liberty. So folks, don't think we cannot rest on
our laurels. Now. We have to fight harder than ever,
first of all for the Lord, but then after that
for our country and for good government, constitutional government we needed. Folks. Remember, remember,
don't forget it. We don't do this much, but we're
going to do it today because it's time. It's time
(52:27):
to hit our knees. Let us pray. Dear God, we
thank you so much for being in this, for giving
us his country. We thank you that we think you've
given us an extra chance now to save our country. Lord,
make us worthy, make us faithful in the Lord. Most
of all, for anybody that's listening to this who's not
sure that they know you, Please God, bring them into
that point in their life where they really will put
(52:49):
faith alone in Christ alone thank you so much for
Jesus that he is our God and our Savior. And
we ask all these things in our mighty Savior's name,
the Lord Jesus Christ, God incarnate a man. So thank
you so very much again, as we're close with a mind,
Saint Martin Creole, goodbye, and God bless all us.
