Tuesday’s 9.5 inches of snow not only shut down South Louisiana for most of the week, the blizzard also underlined the fact that increasingly volatile weather occurrences – from hurricanes to tornadoes to floods –have consistently robbed school children of necessary days in the classroom, almost on a yearly basis.   Hy and Christopher propose a solution on this week’s edition of the Founders Show.
While current Orleans Parish charter school schedules have slowly, year after year, edged earlier, with students often coming to the class on or about the 5th or 6th of August, schools in other parts of the state (and much of the private system) continue in the trend of the last 40 years, starting near the middle of August.
Some claim that one of OPSB’s boost in test scores over the past decade has come about, in part, due to school sessions beginning at an earlier date. Weather was not the original motivation. Part of the reason for the shift to earlier in August by Orleans charter schools tended to deal with a real local problem, many parents had previously not thought that their children needed to be enrolled until after Labor Day. By starting near the beginning of August, that negative tradition has ameliorated somewhat.
Truant September starts might decline even further if schools would commence on about August 1throughout Louisiana. Children missing a whole month of school stands as a delay even the most reticent of parents can’t justify. Moreover, the impact of weather-related events suggests that school sessions should begin as early in August as possible, to make up for the likely loss of days that could become a common occurrence year after year thanks to climate change.
Louisiana school children no longer miss just a day in the classroom because of the weather. Increasingly losing an entire week has become common place – as the Jan. 21-24 snow event demonstrated – and as increasingly intense hurricanes are closing down the state every two to three years for several days. Beginning the school year on August 1 comes with a fiscal cost, undoubtedly, in higher teacher pay and adjustments on union contracts. Still, with a finite number of classroom hours until the all important high stakes testing of LEAP (and the associated advancement exams), students missing a week of education can make all the difference between passage and failure.
Legislators should take action in the April 2025 Regular Session to mandate that weather events will never deny our children the minimum number of school days to succeed.
Hy and Christopher go on to talk about the impact of Trump’s first days in Washington, Mike Johnson’s challenge in passing tax cut extensions, and a new scam plaguing the people of New Orleans.  Men impersonating Orleans Parish sheriff’s officers call, unsuspecting people, and say that there’s a warrant out for their arrest. After an extended period of time on the phone, where they encourage people to come in to the police station to deal with these warrants, they ask for money to be wired for a bail bond.

Battles. The politicians address the digitators and magicians trust to
see the money they did, don't there's nothing to fill
the holes while they are feeling their pockets bid holes.
The politicians bouncing down the road. Every body's we should

(00:25):
to no moment corruption and its function. It's gone to
take divine is avention.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
We survived snow apocalypse, but how may it change our
politics in particularly our school years. It changed our politics
with Washington, Marty Grass and the governor not being able
to raise any money. But it also could affect many
other things. And we're going to talk about that in
a scam that's going on that you need to be
aware of. On these and all these topics in today's
edition of The Founder's Show.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
And God bless all out there you and now listening
to the Founders. So the voice of the founding fathers,
your founding fathers, also the voice of opera and great
music 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.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
High up on top of.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
That old Liberty Cypress tree way out on the Eagles
Branch is none other than you have s Bengary Babba
of the Republic Chaplain Hi mceenry with.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Christopher Tidmore, You roting a reporter, resident radical moderate and
associate editor of the Louisiana Weekly newspaper at Louisiana Weekly
dot net. Though my day job, as some of you know,
as well as the director of external Affairs of the
New Orleans Opera, well, there was nothing external about my
affairs for the opera this week because we were supposed
to be doing the show High and I from Washington

(01:49):
Mardi Gras, and we were actually going to be broadcasting
from one hundred person fundraiser for the New Orleans Opera
that was going to be the kickoff event of Washington
Mardi Gras. Well. The event, I'm proud to say, went
on and must many legislators that were in DC went there.
It was headed by Public Service Commissioner Eric Scremata, sponsored
by Energy and Delta Utilities. Lylah Palmer, the general artistic

(02:12):
director of the Opera who had left several days earlier,
was responded Jared Rachel Michael, who were one of the
prime sponsors and organizers, did a great job. The people
that weren't there were high in Christopher, because we were
snowed in because of the snow apocalypse.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
The snow apocalypse. And by the way, do you know
how to spell that? This is a Cajun spelling, folks,
S and E a u X. So from now on
when you smell spell snow, do it the right way,
the Cajun way, Christopher.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
And you gotta understand this is of course, everyone will
be debating what has happened here for the next three years.
Of course, the meme that was the most hysterical was
Trump's been in office one day and he solves global warming.
That was from the right, the one on the.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Saw that there were freezes all over soon the day one,
he's already say with the guy's amazing.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
On the left, it was did you notice when that
the the cold wind came up from the nether regions
of the Earth right about the time Trump was sworn in. Yes,
ladies and gentlemen, according to someone the left, Hell has
indeed frozen over. So we come into this effect that happens,
you know once every couple of centuries, where you had

(03:27):
a polar vortex that hit the hot water vapor of
the Gulf of Mexico, and they came together to the
point where you had more snow the further south you went.
It's completely counterintuitive, but it's exactly what happened. You had
more snow in Grand Dial than you had New Orleans.
You had more snow in New Orleans you had in
I was on the phone trying to as I rescheduled

(03:48):
my flights, not once, not twice, not three times, four
times I had canceled flights trying to get to DC,
and I was I spent so much time on the phone.
I think I've become personal friends with this individual United
Airline representative. And she was very nice, and I can't
speak more highly United Airlines, I mean, American Airlines was
doing a wonderful job. All the airlines were. But she's like,

(04:09):
I'm in Dallas, we don't have any snow, and you've
got and we had snow flurries to the point where
everyone's saying New Orleans got nine and a half inches.
But hey and I were talking off air. I measured
it on my balcony. I came out to over ten
and a half, almost eleven inches, and you were even higher.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yeah right here, not too far from gross For about
seven or eight blocks. I counted in the front and
in the back backyard front twelve and a half inches.
I measured it. I made a mark when it got
to the highest. Then I went out there later and
measured it.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
And so that would put us our snow apocalypse as
the biggest snow event in three hundred years here in
New Orleans. It would beat the eighteen nineties effects. Admittedly,
in the eighteen nineties the Mississippi River did freeze over.
So there is there's actually photographs of it. It's kind
of it.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
Once.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
I didn't I had heard this, but I actually saw
the photographs that were being posted on air, people took
on social media, people took picture you know, we're bringing
historical photos. People were walking out from the French Quarter
onto the river all the way to Gentilly. It was
frozen all the way across, but we weren't that. We
didn't go quite that far, but we did have as
competitive amounts of snow. I went walking in it on Tuesday,

(05:18):
and a lot of people were doing. I went walking
in Autumn Park and I literally had my snow Parker
is that I wear in Yellowstone in Montana on and
I was getting cold. This is what I wear in
snow weather in Montana and in bath in Canada, and
sometimes in Alaska, because I go to Alaska once a year.
So I'm telling you we were legitimately cold. And I

(05:41):
got to tell you that this is in a side effect,
and I'm curious about. One of the most controversial elements
before the snow apocalypse was the governor's effort to get
a lot of the homeless from on the streets and
the temporary facilities, and it was hugely critical. You noticed
that there was no criticism last week because he actually
said this up to get them off the streets for
the you know, in time for the Super Bowl. The

(06:03):
funny thing is we probably saved a lot of lives
doing that. It was unplanned and inverting, but it came
about because I mean, you've worked with the homeless for years,
high and I mean the weather conditions we had, we
would have had, I mean, forgive me for being so
blunt at a family show, but we would have had
corpses up and down the city. People would have gotten
hypothermia and died. And so it was Folks.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Bear in mind, these homeless folks, many of them are
not normal in their minds. Let's say, you know, they
kind of got the Biden disease, if you will, and
they're half the time they're not quite aware of what's
really going on around them.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
And of course many of them.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Are still struggling with drugs and booze and everything else,
which means they're not thinking in a normal, responsible way,
and so they go to sleep on the street. Oh
it's cold, They're all bundled up. They have no idea
how cold it's really gonna get. And they die. They
can't handle it. And their body is already very weakened
because they live. They're very unhealthy. Extremely they have so

(06:59):
many disease and problems in the homeless community that they're
easy to die. It's it's easy for him to keel
over and die. So Christopher's right. There would have been
a massive death count after this saying, and so that
really saved a lot of them. I know, you know,
I'm on the board of the Olves Mission, and we're
well aware of all this. We're always out there trying
to help them. We have special freeze days formula, and

(07:20):
then we pack them, pack them and stack them all
over the mission, even outside of the city. Because we
have several campuses, and we've we've the Lord has given
us the opportunity to really save hundreds of homeless lives
during these hard times like this.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Well, we want to talk about what was going on
in d C while we were all snowed in here
in New Orleans, because it's not a lot of local
politics to talk about, but there's a lot that happened
at Washington, Marty Graff of the people that here's interesting.
Our friend Roger Villary, a frequent guest advertising our program.
He was telling he was at this I had invited
him to come to this fundraiser. He couldn't come. He
and his granddaughter had gone to the inauguration. They were

(07:55):
coming home on Tuesday. Guess what, they're still in watching
the DC as we tape this, ladies and gentlemen. So
a lot of people ended up spending the week up
there in a very active kind of political environment. I
do want to talk about that. But before we leave
the snow apocalypse, I want to throw something out for
public consideration, and I want you to write me at
if you would, folks at Christopher tidmoret Yahoo dot com

(08:17):
about what you think about this idea. But as of
our taping the show. Basically, kids a lot of kids
lost a whole week of school. Martin Luther King Holiday
was on Monday. A lot of schools took the opportunity
to have their teacher training day that schools are mandated
to have the previous Friday. These students still go in

(08:37):
on teacher conference days, so they were already having a
four day weekend. So a lot of kids were out
of school basically from Friday through the entire week into it.
It was almost like another Christmas vacation a week and
a half after Christmas vacation. But it made me really
articulate something. Every year we're having a weather activity of

(08:59):
some sort, it's keeping kids out of school for a
week at least. Could be a hurricane, could be a flood. Lately,
something I never knew growing up. You never knew growing up.
Tornadoes are becoming a major thing here in New Orleans
to where tornado warnings are not something you say that's
kind of weird, No, it's something you really take shelter.

(09:21):
And we're seeing events to where students are out of
school for a long periods of time and that affects
academic behavior. So I wrote a column as the snow
was piling up outside my door by the Louisiana Weekly.
It's at Louisiana Weekly dot net. It'll hit the internet
on Monday afternoon, and of course it's in the print
copies if you want to get a copy of the
Louisiana Weekly. But what I suggest in it is we

(09:45):
need to start schools on August first. Now, one of
the reasons why Orleans Parish charter school numbers grades, the
grading of schools and the performance of students has gotten
better is if you've noticed Orleans charters have and starting
earlier and earlier. They start now around the fifth or
sixth of August, so they have more days in school,

(10:06):
so that you know, if they lose days, they could
make it up. That hasn't been reflected with a lot
of the private system, which still starts on the fifteenth
or sixteenth of August, and it isn't around the state.
But what it means is if you were to start
at August first, you end up with five months, you know, August, September, October, November,
December for the fall term and five months for the

(10:27):
spring term January, February, March, April and May. That is
enough time to be in school when you take the
leap test in April, that you've got enough education in
a high stakes testing environment to be able to be
prepared for the test. I know there's someone who are
going to come out and say, who are regular listen
to the show where you teach the test? Now, it's
a reality of our society that you know we have

(10:48):
testing that goes on. I don't want to get in
that side argument. Here's the truth is the longer a
kid is in school, the more chances they learn. That's
usually something some people might debate that, but most people
will say logically, if you miss days of school, you're
going to miss education. And when you're when it is
a regular occurrence. It used to be high when we

(11:08):
were growing up. I don't know about you. If we
had a hurricane or flood, Yeah, school for a day
or so and then went back to school maybe two days.
It's really bad. Now every year it's a week or more.
And if we don't start starting the school year at
August first, then we're never going to have our kids
in school long enough to make up the difference.

Speaker 4 (11:28):
What we call them snow days. Snow days, well, I.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Mean that's it. We're laughing. But it was literally a.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Major in memory of this great event for us. I
mean it was quite an event, folks, as we all.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Know sn the aux But the fact of the matter
is we've got to look at our policies. Who would
have ever considered the fact that the Department of Transportation
Development was going to have to have snowplows insulting machines
as part of their things. Fortunately, we rented them for
an exorbitant amount of money from the state Arkansas. Who
would have ever thought that Arkansas would get less snow

(12:00):
than Louisiana. But that's the fact. We're in an environment.
Regardless of what you think, folks of global warrials, the
weather is changing in a way, and we've got to
be recognized that some of our ways of dealing with
the environments are going to be different.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
Well, it's just give you an idea of how this
impacted me. I think it impacted most of us in
the area. There was snow angels all over the place.
People were jumping up and down on the street, Christmas
saw across country skiing and autumn park.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
I mean, this was a big deal for us.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
They were using the hills to go downhill.

Speaker 4 (12:34):
It was like love Loveay.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
It wasn't just the levees that the part, because that
you've got you know, you got the tea boxes and everything.
They would start off at the top of the tea
box and go down.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
Well, this is what I wrote. It was so exciting.
I sent this out to many people in texts and emails. Whatever, no, y'all,
and I spelled it any aux snow as any aux.
It's not a big deal here in Nola. Snow is
so much bigger than just a big deal. It is
a super califragilistic, amazing and mega gonzo like I has

(13:06):
not seen or ear heard for US swamp dwelling Cajuns.
It is even bigger than winning the Super Bowl or
Marti gras Enough said.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
Go snow.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
It's still coming till eight pm tonight. We may even
break our record with ten inches of snow correction, whoa,
it's already twelve inches in the backyard and still counting.
God bless himiking. That's how excited it was. It was
so amazing to see. It's really exciting. I love snow.
I've had a lot of time on ski trips and

(13:36):
military training. Cold winter warfare training in places that even
our equipment didn't work. It was so cold, designed to
protect us from the cold, but still didn't work. And
so I know cold, and I know you know activity
outdoor activity in the cold, and I know driving. Also,
driving is extremely dangerous, I believe it or not. I
did drive last night. It's terrified, my poor bride. But

(13:59):
on a drive in snow, and you got to be
really caustious, folks. And I had one slight, thank you Lord,
skidding effect that I stopped just in time because I
was going so slowly.

Speaker 4 (14:11):
So it's very dangerous. I just had something I had
to go do.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
I had to go hit the waites, folks. I can't
miss my gym time. So anyway, I went to g fit.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
Here you go.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
Well, I admire your commitment to your exercise schedule. You
gotta have a wait in ahead we go out in
that weather. That's insane. Anyway, the fact of the matter
is we've had a whole week effectively where everything's closed,
and how that's going to play it. I'm going to
tell you about my adventure of trying to get out
of the city to get to Washington, and it was
it was really interesting when you can't even drive out

(14:43):
of a city, much less fly, it tells you we
were more cut off than we were after Hurricane Katrina.
It was easier to get in and out of New
Orleans in the weeks after Hurricane Katrina when we had
police entering, than it was to get out of the city.
On this I'll talk about that, but we're going to
talk a little bit. We're going to shift our politics
the Nation's capital with the Obviously, the inauguration happened this week.

(15:06):
A lot has happened, but the Nation's Capital was dominated
by Louisianans of Washington, Marti Grass, and it had some
interesting effects on what is going to happen next, particularly
on the negotiations on the tax renewals. We're gonna have
some inside information from the Nation's Capital after these important messages.
Stay tuned more of the Founder show.

Speaker 5 (15:29):
Rescuing, recovery, re engagement. These are not just words. These
are the action steps we at the New Orleans Mission
take to make a positive impact on the homeless problem
facing the greater New Orleans area.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
Did you know in.

Speaker 5 (15:45):
Twenty twenty, homelessness in our community increased by over forty percent.
We are committed to meet this need to 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

(16:06):
with the hopeless and hurting in our community. Through the
process of recovery, these individuals have the opportunity to take
time out, assess their life, and begin to make new
decisions to live out their God given purpose. After the
healing process has begun and lives are back on track,
we walk each individual as they re engage back into

(16:29):
the community to be healthy, thriving, and living a life
of purpose. No one is meant to live under a bridge.
No one should endure abuse, No one should be stuck
in addiction. The New Orleans Mission is a stepping stone
out of that life of destruction and into a life
of hope and purpose. Partner with us today go to

without further du it's time for us starting.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
This is Chaplinhi McHenry who.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
With Christopher Tidmore And you know when we're on WRN
O and WSLA, we're on a station of obviously the
Fox affiliate WRN WSLA of course is owned by the
wonderful pap Marl and the Merrill family who've been committed
to local radio one of the last places you can
hear not only local afternoon shows that comes in our

(19:32):
good friend Corey Johnson, but also local high school sports
and so on and so forth. The reason I bring
that up is there was a lot of One of
the things that was talked about at Washington Marty Grass
it's not exactly true, but it really works well for us,
was the fact that WWL was bought out by George Soros.
Now WWL was not actually bought out by George Soros.
He bought his one of his venture capital companies, bought

(19:55):
the debt of the of one of the holding companies
of which WWL is owned for Intercom. So it's not
exactly George that there's a rumor that George Soros has
coming and taking over our competition. I didn't almost bring
this up because it really goes really well for us
a lot of our listener base. But it is worth
pointing out that this is not exactly true. But we
are in stations that are committed to a very local

(20:17):
perspective on the news, and particularly it's one of the
things we love about post stations, particularly WSLA as well
as we or know, well.

Speaker 4 (20:24):
How much control does that give him over go ahead.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
In theory, he has venture control as seats on the board,
but it's not controlling interest. There was a lot going
on social media that he had fifty percent. It was
no he just essentially there was a lot of the debt.
So for those that don't know what happened, basically, the
radio world went a little insane on or about the

(20:47):
time when we started this show. So Hi and I
Hi first came on the show on the radio with
me and Jeff. Actually we celebrate our twenty seventh anniversary
next week of coming on the Actually it's kind of
kind of nice. But when he and I first started
doing the show, I had just finished we just turned
WRNO into a talk station. I had been in the

(21:09):
news department for a year and we were getting it
was a little after that, and what was happening at
that time was a lot of radio stations were going
private and they were being bought out and they were
sold for multiples of their of their value. You were
selling radio stations that might make two or three hundred
thousand dollars in profit a year and you were selling
five or ten million because a lot of big companies

(21:30):
were buying up. What happened was, unfortunately or fortunately for
the previous owners, they sold out when it was really high,
and a lot of these companies were mired in debt,
and so this happened for a lot of companies. This
happened particularly with clear Channel, which is a precursor for
iHeart and Intercom Communications, which is the owners of WWL.
And so the debt has become this arbitrage in international

(21:51):
markets because it's like buying credit card debt. It's got
great returns. So the reports of our soros so greatly exaggerated,
But you know, I thought i'd bring it up anyway,
because the reports of what happened in Washington are not exaggerated.
This has been a weird week in Washington, d C.
Now for me, my friend Jared Michael will appreciate when
he'll hear this. As we put on this fundraiser for

(22:12):
the New Orleans Opera. For those that's unfamiliar, I was
putting on the opening kickoff event of Washington Martin gral
But everybody who was there for the inauguration was coming
to my event earlier folks.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
For those of you who don'tren't aware of this. Just
to briefly bring us back to the radio stations, WWL
was like one of the iconic stations of the whole world,
of the whole nation. It was heard over almost the
entire United States. It was that big for decades and
so it was a big, big deal, one of the
most powerful stations in America.

Speaker 4 (22:44):
And now it's not that anymore.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
It's still a big station, but it does create quite
a start to think that your iconic station has not
been taken over by a double seven, evil slave trader,
robber baron, if you will. It's alarming, it's alarming and
uh but nevertheless.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
It looks like it's at freedom.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
You know.

Speaker 4 (23:04):
Oh that means nothing from Biden. Are you kidding?

Speaker 3 (23:07):
Oh my gosh, that's absurd. Yeah, I know. He paid
Biden a lot of money as a Biden gave the
metal freedom.

Speaker 4 (23:12):
Big deal. Uh.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
He's a no, he's a Nazi, for folks. When he's
a teenager, he worked for the Nazis, turning in Jews
and proud of it. It's in his own autobiography.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
Yes, it is so.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
Anyway, Uh, this man is not exactly he's he's a
he's a wanted in five foreign countries and someone. If
they catch him, they will execute him. He's that bad.
So he's a bad guy. He's a really bad guy.
But he loves the Democrat Party. He pumps billions of
dollars into him. He's one of their great evil genius
multi ja billionaires at backsim. Anyway, that's why this caused

(23:45):
all that story.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
Sous is also Jewish, so anyway, that's.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
What made it so bad. He betrayed his own people.
That's what makes it so bad, Chris.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
But the fact of the fact of the matter is
source did not buy WBL. It's you know, this is
one of the social media memes that is not actually true.
There's a kernel of truth.

Speaker 4 (24:01):
Yeah, we got that. That's right. You made the very clear.
Thank you Christ forra.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
But I want to talk about what has been actually happening,
and that's of course the nation's capital. Now, my friend
Jared Michaels was going like as we were going to
kick off this event. So for those that don't know Washington,
we explained this last week. Washington. Marni Gras started out
nineteen forty nine, seventy six years ago, as just sort
of a party, a carnival ball for staffers that were

(24:25):
lonely from home. But it has become this event over
the last several decades where every elected Louisiana politician flies
up for it and they're all these receptions, so much
so that they hang a big banner at the Washington Hilton,
call it the sixty fifth Parish. And it was pretty
particularly notable because all the Republicans that were going up
for Trump's inauguration, We're going to stay there for the

(24:46):
whole week. Well, the fact is they certainly weren't coming
back to Louisiana. Every airport south of Monroe was closed,
and so a lot of people were there up the
week those that wanted to come. Usually this is a
bipartisan effort, so we mean a lot of local Democrats
and make it up there. I was getting calls from
people who had not missed a Washington Mighty gorone thirty
years and they couldn't come up there. But the New

(25:07):
Orleans operator arranged because to have the first kickoff event
and it was great. We had a I missed it.
We had a jazz trio followed by Katie J. Bryan,
who international opera star singing. And the funny thing is
since everything else had been canceled on Thursday, people stayed
for the whole day. It was the Equinox Restaurant in Washington.
Great event. But the point I wanted to say about
all of this is all of this is happening in

(25:30):
a context of a Washington where it was very different
than Trump's first week in twenty seventeen. It's night and
day from twenty seventeen. So in twenty seventeen, the Trump
administration wasn't really ready for government. I'm not being pejarative
when I say that they were a little surprised they won.
They didn't know who was getting elected. Appointed to various offices,

(25:53):
including Secretary of State that didn't happen. Rex Tillerman wasn't
even put up until after he was inaugurated, and they
weren't sure exactly what the kickoff issues would be. The
only reason taxes the tax cut passed was that was
something that was pushed through by Kevin McCarthy when he
was Speaker. This time, nothing that bear this administration bears
no resemblance. Trump was sworn in in the Capitol rotund

(26:17):
in front of sixteen hundred people with an overflow of
twenty three hundred in the Emancipation Hall down the way
he walks from. He gives us inaugural address, which sounded
like a really toned down campaign speech, but you know
it's consistent. But he walked in the side room and
he signed easily three hundred different executive orders and pardons

(26:37):
the fifteen hundred people. All but eighty seven of the
January sixth cases were pardoned. Some are being commuted, but
basically that's caused it. The executive orders over birthright, citizenship
and so and so forth were signed, and then he
went into as you might have seen, the overflow hall,
which only thought they were gonna get him on a screen.
And that was classic Trump, love him or hate him. Look,

(26:59):
the one thing I'll give Trump credit for he never
really had. I had a running bet going with people
and said, was Trump going to bring up the fact,
you know I won in twenty twenty in the inaugural address,
and I you know I was, And I said I
don't think he is, and they said, yes he is. Well,
I was going to about to win some money, but
they counted the overflow where he brought it up. You know, also,

(27:22):
I actually I actually won the bet. But the fact
is Washington right now is in essentially how far can
you push an executive order. We've talked about Biden. A
lot of attention was put on the pardons Biden put
out Liz Cheney and others and members of his own family,
and a lot has been put on Biden. Very little

(27:44):
attention has been put on the fact that Biden left
office with a series of executive orders that were profound
about oil drilling all over the country that can only
be overturned. These are these were rules within by Act
of Congress. Trump's in a whole bunch of executive orders.
Birthright citizenship is the one that's getting the most attention,
but it's actually probably not the most consequential. I've been

(28:07):
dealing with police officers right now. I've been on the
phone with them and they've been telling me, we're really
concerned because we don't have the staffing to do what
we're being mandated to do. And essentially, the way the
executive orders on an illegal immigration are working is if
you are a police officer and you know of a

(28:27):
situation of illegal immigration you're not checking, you can be
prosecuted in theory for not turning someone in, not prosecuting,
not putting for an illegal immigrant. Essentially, police officers are
being for lack of a better term, it's not literally true,
but being drafted into the federal service for illegal immigration.

(28:47):
That is well, I'm not being.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
Mean just to say we're drafted into the federal service
to stop the people getting the you know, I from
getting illegals. They were putting a federal service on.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
Right when precisely this contrary, Christopher. What I'm saying is,
we have never, in my experience, since one particular instance
I'm going to talk about, had used regular peace officers
on the county level to enforce immigration restrictions. Accept and

(29:19):
this is the one exception. We are the Founder's show.
The most interesting thing Trump said in his speech was
the he would put the enforcement of the Alien Exclusion
Acts of seventeen ninety eight. Now we're the Founder's show.
There's nothing more fundamental in the discussions of what the

(29:39):
Founders intended than the argument between John Adams and Thomas
Jefferson over what it were called the Alien and Sedition Acts.
It is the essence of what did the Constitution mean?
The Alien Act? There are two actions. There are actually
six different acts. The alien Exclusion Acts essentially says if
you were at war with a country, a naturalized citizen

(30:03):
of that country, not naturalized non born citizen of that
country can be expelled. The problem is, what is the
definition of war? Is it? Are we heavy declared war?
It was brought about because it looked in seventeen ninety
eight very clearly that we were going to war with France.
It's kind of forgotten now, but we almost went to
war with revolutionary France.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
It's sent a huge armada over here, and armada had
had so many problems acts of God that the commander
committed suicide and they finally gave up. But they had
a whole huge armada of take America.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Well, it wasn't what they were doing. They weren't actually
trying to take America, but they were. They were attacking
our commerce in the high seats, what we always accused
the British of doing. The French were doing at the
same time, and we almost It's one of those great
interesting counterfactuals became so close after the x y Z
affair with France. Anyway, the Federalists controlled Congress asked the

(31:00):
alien and Sedition Acts. The Position Acts were essentially limits
on free speech. The Alien Acts, though, were very simple.
You could deport someone in this and it was meant
it's the French at the time who were in the country.
It was based on a particular French minister and ambassador
who was actively working across party lines. Because the Democrats
at the time are the pro French party. Jefferson and

(31:21):
Madison were pro French. The Federalists tended to be pro English.
And so the question is what does that mean. If
it's if your definition is you're at war with somebody,
then Trump can't use any of it. If the definition
is it's a state, it's a non state actor creating

(31:43):
conflict and this is where it is and this is
what the court is going to be coming in, then
you could use it. The cartels would be theoretically a
non state actor. They're not nations, they're not nation states,
but they could Any government that's not actively trying to
stop restrictions of immigration could be a non state actor.
This exists in the law, and so a lot of

(32:04):
people have been arguing can of law in seventeen ninety
eight still be valid. The answer is yes, it's never
been repealed. Jefferson never could get the Alien and Sedition
Acts repeal. He got some of the Sedition Acts, but
not the Alien Acts. And for this reason. This is
these Alien Acts things have been talked about in conservative
circles for about I don't know about six years now,

(32:27):
but it was the first time the president actually employs them,
and going to it's a much more everybody's focusing on
the test case. Can you eliminate birthright citizenship? Fourteenth amendments
pretty blunt. The reason why we had that judge in
South Carolina who's a Reagan appointee, say no, you can't
do it is because the dread Scott decision that the
fourteenth Amendment was overloaded was very clear. If you were

(32:48):
born in America, you were a citizen. It was the
dread Scott decision basically said sons of slaves were not
citizens because they were sons of non citizens. And this
was the clarification point. Is pretty blunt. But the Alien
Acts are much more interesting. If you're over the age
of fourteen and you're from a country, if they say
that it's in conflict with the United States, if that

(33:10):
conflict is look, you won't enforce your borders. It could
be anything. Then you can immediately deport the power to
deport over twenty million people. First, it would be incredibly
hard in our country, but it is. It exists within
the law, and it's the question of how quickly the
Supreme Court will review this case. And this is something

(33:32):
I brought up on this show actively and people are
there was a wonderful or terrible depending upon your perspective.
Atlantic Magazine article. It was to liberals and saying we
were wrong about Amy Connie Barrett. She's voted with the
left in three or four cases. Except I tried to
explain this to people. Conservative thought on the courts is
not one unified thought. It falls into two schools, their

(33:55):
originalist and their texturalist John Roberts and Amy Conye Barret.
Or texturalist and a textionalist is very straightforward. If the
text says it, it means it. If it doesn't say it, it
doesn't mean it. Period, end of discussion. We are not
here to create a philosophical thing. We're here to read
what has been written by the regislators. An originalist takes

(34:16):
a step further. An originalist says, what was the intent
behind the writing and how can we extrapolate intent based
at the time of the writing of the Constitution? What
was the original intent? An originalist will come to a
different conclusion than a textualist any day of the week.
And so that's why when everybody says the Supreme Court
is this conservative majority, they're like, it depends upon the case.

(34:39):
It depends upon the interpretation, because if you read the
actual text of the Alien Acts, you have to be
at war with somebody. That means Congress has to declare war.
By the way, the last time we declared war was
the last time the Alien acts were used. It was
called it was to pick up all the Japanese and
put them in interment camps. As the last time they

(34:59):
al alien acts were employed, the Alien acxs were employed
in the First World War against Germans. But that's a
time of active war, and that's been the subtext in
Washington for a lot of issues. Another thing that's coming
up and everybody was talking about at Washington, Marti Gras,
is the tax renewals. Now, for those that don't know,
the Trump tax cuts are about to expire that are

(35:20):
coming up on that ten years and a lot of
people said they should have another year to get rid
of it. They're not waiting the Trump tax. The renewals
are our end. But the problem is a group of
Republicans from the Northeast and from California want to remove
the caps on what's called the salt tax deduction and
state and local tax liability. What it means is basically,

(35:43):
if you pay your state taxes, you conduct them on
your federal taxes. Trump to pay for other tax cuts.
He and the Republican Congress in twenty seventeen limited to
that to ten thousand dollars. And frankly, this is one
of the few issues where the far right and the
far left degree that they need to go because it said,
what these are taxes that benefit people who tend to

(36:03):
make more than one hundred thousand dollars a year, they
have the deduction capabilism people who make less than hundred
thousand dollars a year to just use the standard deduction.
It doesn't matter. They don't get enough to make up
the difference, except if you're in a state which has
a nine to thirteen percent state income tax, then it
makes a big difference. By the way, those states happen
to be Massachusetts, in New York, California. You get the idea.

(36:26):
So a lot of these Republicans are saying to renew
the taxing agrees, they have to get rid of the
salt tax. And it's created an interesting situation because the
right and the left, and this is we talk about
how different the conservatives and liberals are, except on this
one issue, they're agreed. Why do they want to get
rid of the salt deduction altogether? Because they want to

(36:48):
increase the child tax credit, the refundable child tax credit
up to six thousand dollars. You notice that came up.
It was one of Kamala Harris's issues for about five
minutes until Jdvan said, yeah, it's a idea, we want
to do it too. The whole thing about not having
wise wook it. Basically, it ceased to be an issue
when the Trump embraced it. There's not enough money to

(37:09):
do that without running unbelievable deficits. But it had more impact.
The child tax credit had more impact on curing poverty
than any other single thing, and it helps encourages people
to have children. Maybe not makes the difference, but it
makes it a little easier if you have three kids.
A refundable tax credit. That's eighteen thousand dollars in cash

(37:31):
you get back, you know, goes against your tax libel.
It's pretty such. And so my curiosity is are there
going to be some members and I'm guessing members of
the Black Caucus because they kind of follow into us,
Troy Carter of New Orleans being one of them. We
have good relationships with the Republicans who are willing in
exchange for the child tax credits to turn around and

(37:56):
vote to get rid of the assault credits, which their
own fellow Democrats from from the Northeast and from northern
states where they don't want to do. And it's one
of those issues because you remember right now with the
with the with two members of Congress having left to
be in the Trump cabinet and one Matt Gates, just
not coming back. Our speaker, Mike Johnson of Louisiana, has

(38:19):
a majority of exactly one person in the United States
House of Representatives. I hate to tell you this. One
person ain't a majority. One person. I mean you can
when this when the tax cuts eventually originally came, fifteen
Republicans voted against it. That gives you an idea.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
So thought, of course for interesting about Mike Johnson. That's
why Gingrich is hailing him as one of the greatest
speaker of the Houses ever. Now, of course we know
Gingrich goes down as one of the greatest speaker of
the Houses in decades. He's monumental and he's he thinks,
he says, he envies Mike Johnson for what he's been
able to accomplish. He looks up to Mike Johnson for

(38:59):
his finite finesse. And it's really true. When you only
have a one point majority, you walk in such thin ice.
It's like, how do you ever get anything done? Yet
Mike Johnson is so we ought to be very very
proud of him, see as how he's from Louisiana. And
this is gonna be an interesting uh next two years, folks,
to see everything goes uh will the will the Trump

(39:20):
agenda be able to go through? He's getting his uh,
his his cabinet members in and a couple of them
by unanimous vote. That's amazing. So it's gonna be very
interesting to see how all this unfolds.

Speaker 4 (39:32):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
We believe there is an awakening in America across the
board left and right for the fact that we need
to get serious about watching our government and making them
behave and follow the basic fundamental freedoms that we were
guaranteed by the Constitution and the Bill Wrights. So what, Christopher,
you got something else?

Speaker 2 (39:52):
Well, I would point out that the discussion of the
alien ACX race it in. I have one last thing
in our last three minutes high and I want to
give warning to people. If this telephone number shows up
on your phone, don't answer. Listen to me carefully. It's
five oh four two one four seventy five forty eight.
If you google it, you'll find that it's a scam
that's been going on and I personally encountered it. When

(40:15):
that phone call came in, a person introduced themselves as
an Orleans Parish criminal sheriff deputy and said I had
bench warrants out for missing jury duty. They found my
old address, which was eighty fount and Blow Drive. I
haven't lived there in fourteen years. Hi, I used to
do the radio show for there, but we haven't started
in your house but we I haven't lived there in

(40:36):
a decade and a half. And they said they had
delivered a court summons to be on jury federal jury
duty and it was signed and they I had bench
warrants out because I didn't show up for jury duty.
And of course this gets it nervous, and the guy's
on the phone. He says, you can't hang up. He
has another phone call saying confirm this telephone number, and

(40:58):
it was the telephone number of Orleans Sheriff's office. So
I'm like, I'm very scared. I mean, it says you've
got to come in now. We just need to check
that your signature isn't the same. But it's not no
big deal. We're just gonna let it go. And I'm
getting nervous, and I get my lawyer on the line
and a whole bunch of things, and then not letting
it go down, they start saying, okay, well, will you
be taking the seventy two hour option or just being

(41:19):
locked up? Or are you going to pay your the
two fees that you got of seven hundred and fifteen
and fifteen hundred. Remember they have to be paid in
cash and they have to do this. And it became
very clear that this was a scam. For example, when
they tell you to google the number they give you,
which is the Orlans Parish a website. The first website
that comes up on Google seems like it's the Orleans
Power Shriff's site. It's just dot us. It's not. It's

(41:42):
a fake website. They've gotten very sophisticated. They're they're they're
cloaking the numbers of the Orleans Paris Sheriff's office, and
they're trying to get money out of poor people who
think who've never done anything wrong, and they're being taken
advantage of. Be careful, folks, be very very careful.

Speaker 3 (41:58):
If folks remember this, when they pressure you, that's a
sign that something's up, that it is a scam. For instance,
at the very end, they pressure Christopher and they said, okay,
well if you don't want to cooperate, then we'll just
have to come pick you up right now. And that's
when the lights went on. He doesn't know where I live.
How's he gonna pick me up? Any knew they were
faking it. It was a big bluff, folks. I got
something like that for a warranty that was very well done.

(42:22):
They've gotten to be excellent in how they present themselves.
Don't you make sure you vetted every which way, you
can't get your attorney whatever, before you ever bite into
any of these things because there's so many of them
that are scams now and so anyway, that's the word
for the wives. I'm sure y'all are listening, and uh,
I guess it's time for us to go.

Speaker 2 (42:40):

Speaker 3 (44:52):
Battleship folks were back and you were listening to the
founders show the voice of the funding fathers. And it's
now time for us to go into our chaplain by
by a patriotic moment and this is yours truly chaplain,
Hi mcginry, And today we're going to talk about prayer
in inaugurations and in Congress, as that seems to be

(45:15):
the great topic of the day. If you will, what
will Congress do? It's such a razor thin margin, will
it survive? Will they get things done?

Speaker 5 (45:23):
Well?

Speaker 3 (45:23):
Right now they're starting to get cabinet members in and
that's great. But and we just had the inauguration with
five prayers, incidentally, the most prayers I think ever given
an inauguration. But today, I wanted to take us all
the way back.

Speaker 4 (45:36):
To seventeen seventy four.

Speaker 3 (45:38):
On the seventh day of September, in the first meeting
of the Continental Congress in Philadelphia at Carpenter's Hall, they
called upon a Reverend duche an Anglican minister from Philadelphia
of French Huguenot origins. He gave a great prayer. It
really moved Congress. Everybody was there praying, and it said

(46:00):
were crying. George Washington was on his knees crying out
to God. I mean, it was quite an event. And
because Boston had just been attacked and bombed, and it
was under siege and it looked like they were going
to destroy they didn't know they were hearing that Boston
was being completely destroyed, set on fire and everything. It's
a terrible time. So I finally, of course, my finding
fathers were in a great desperate state, and they gave

(46:21):
us this great prayer. Now I can't read the whole prayer,
but I'm just going to read you the thirty seventh Psalm,
part of the prayer that mister duche Reverend Duchey called
himself mister also by the way, gave in that wonderful
prayer meeting. He said, please my cause, O Lord, with
them that strive with me, fight against them that fight
against me. Take hold of buckler and shield, and rise

(46:44):
up from my help. Draw into also the spear and
the battle axe to meet those who pursue me. Say
to my soul, I am your salvation. Let those be
ashamed and dishonored who seek my life. Let those be
turned back and humiliated who rise evil against me. Well,
this was considered, of course, to be great treason by

(47:05):
the British government, calling what they were doing is great
evil against us. But nonetheless he boldly prayed this, and
that tradition has remained in Congress ever since. Congress opens
up in prayer every meeting. They have a chaplain of Congress,
the Senate and whatnot, and we have military chaplains of course.

(47:27):
So this idea of having God in government is an
ancient is a very old and original tradition, folks. It's
not something new, it's not something that violates the Constitution,
if you will. And then George Washington when he swore
on the Bible on his day of inauguration fifteen years
later in seventeen eighty nine, at Memorial Hall in New York.

(47:49):
He concluded his oath with so help me God. Now
that was not in the original oath. He added that,
and you know to this day that's in all the
oaths that are given. The following presidents and various political
officials and whatnot have all ended their oaths and so
help me God, folks. I think our finding fathers wanted
to keep God in government. I think they believed and

(48:11):
they knew it was critical for the success of our country,
you know, and forever. And Douche's prayer he says about
God being their salvation. I am your he says. Let
each person say to God Almighty that God is our salvation?

Speaker 4 (48:27):
Folks, is he your salvation?

Speaker 3 (48:29):
As we now go into our chaplain by pat gospel
moment where I again, I just took a brief moment
to show you how you can know that. You know that,
you know you're born again. You're saved my burning hell
and guaranteed having that word burn again. Born again means
your dead and dying in spirit has become fully alive
and you have a second birth. The Bible calls it
or being born again. Jeans said you must be born again?
What kind of goes like this. I'll make this short.

(48:52):
I'll just give as John three sixteen. For God's soul
love the world. That's everybody in that shoe. That he
gave his only begotten son. That's the Lord Jesus Christ,
all the way God and all over the man, perfect
God and perfect Man. He gave us his only begotten son.
That whosoever that's you again, believeth in him. Now, what
is that word, believeth in him mean? That's kind of

(49:14):
a vague abstract term. You have to know what that means.
He means you got to believe in the Gospel. The
scripture says, the Gospel is the power of God into salvation.
What does Jesus have to do with that, Well, the
Bible tells us what the gospel is. It says a
far declaredy the gospel that Jesus, Jesus died for all
of our sins, folks. That means, from the day you're
born to the day you die, your tiniess to your
greatest sins, they all went on the cross, they all

(49:34):
went into Jesus of Ile says he was turned into
that sin, and he paid for that sin. He was
made into that sinse so he could destroy that sin
and set you free from it. Folks, that all happened
in the cross, that he was, that he died on
the cross for all the sins, that he was buried,
and that he rose from the dead according to the scripture. Now,
that's clearly what the scripture says. That's what you have

(49:54):
to believe when it says believeth on him shall not perish,
not go to hell, but have ever lasting life. Folks,
if you want to go to heaven, you've got two
things you have to believe for. The first belief is
called repentance. Is when you believe you cannot save yourself.
You're hopeless and helpless without God, there's absolutely no hope
for you.

Speaker 4 (50:12):
You're done. You're finished.

Speaker 3 (50:13):
When you get to that point in your life and
you know that nothing good you can do is going
to help at all. You can't even help God. Okay,
forget it. He's the only they can do the work.
Jesus did that work. Your works don't count. He did
that work on the cross when he died for your
sins and roastman the dead. So believe you can't save yourself,
that's repentance. And after that then you can believe the
positive side that He did pay for all your sins

(50:34):
and roasman the dead to win for you his precious
free gift of resurrection, ever lasting life. If you've never
done that before, do it now, folks. Don't wait till
it's too late. Like the old country preacher said, and
like the Bible says, now today is the day of salvation.

Speaker 4 (50:46):
Well, folks, it's not time.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
For us to go into our if you will end
time event testimony witness about the watchman on our being
watchmen on the wall. All right, here's your Watchmen on
the Wall testimony the Bible. Since in the end, all
kinds of dread things are gonna happen. Crazy weather conditions,
terrible weather, going, volcanoes, eruption, I mean, earthquakes, distress some nations, crime, violence, wars.

(51:11):
Every bad thing you can think about is gonna happen
in the end, the final end of this earth, folks,
it's gonna get bad. We're seeing a lot of bad
stuff right now. The illegal aliens running loose, you know,
just all the terrible things that have happened just in
the past few years. But it's just gonna keep getting worse.
According the Bible. Now, we can deter things, we can
slow things down a little bit, but in the end
it's all coming down on us like an avalanche. And

(51:33):
just like you saw this snow apocalypse, if you will,
of the snowmageddon, we couldn't stop that.

Speaker 4 (51:41):
You can't control weather, no one can.

Speaker 3 (51:43):
You can influence somewhat, They find out ways to do that,
but you can't.

Speaker 4 (51:48):
Overall control it.

Speaker 3 (51:49):
You can't control sunspots, which have a huge overwhelming influence
over our weather. You can't control volcanic eruptions. Again, the
largest influence on carbon footprints, pollution, and control the weather.
It comes just from volcanos.

Speaker 4 (52:02):
Folks.

Speaker 3 (52:03):
You can't control that stuff. It's in God's hands. And
if I says in the end, all that stuff is
going to increase. So we're heading into the end times
and it's going.

Speaker 4 (52:10):
To get tough. It's going to get really tough.

Speaker 3 (52:12):
If you're not ready for it, you're going to be
in trouble. You need a safe house, You need protection.
Where you can find that safe house in none other
than the Lord Jesus Christ. Let him be your safe house.
Believe that he really did die for all your sins
with batter and rose from the dead and you got
your safe house. Let us pray, Dear God, thank you
for this show, thank you for all the many blessings.
Thank you for America. Thank you for the current administration

(52:33):
and what it appears to be a very Bible centered
and godly work that will be done in America from
the top, although it has to be from everybody, we
the people, or it's no good. So Lord, we want
America to be great again. But we know what made
America great in the beginning was you. So please come back,
Lord and make our country great again. We love you
and praise the Lord. And Lord for any of those

(52:54):
who don't know you, let them come to know you
with all their hearts, believing that Jesus really did die
for all those sins, was buried in Rosa the dead.
We ask all these things now and our precious mighty
Savior's name, the Lord Jesus Christ God Incarnate. Amen, we'll
focus in our time for us to close with the
mind Saint Martin singing a creole goodbye, and God bless
all out.

Speaker 4 (53:13):
There to call you qel goodbye.

Speaker 1 (53:23):
They think we just wasted the time. All three simony,
there's time for a creo, Goodbye,
