This week, Christopher broadcasts live from Canada - from the border of Alberta and British Columbia. He and Hy talk Rocky Mountain wildfires, heat, and how the local libertarian-leaning Tory Premier has embraced nuclear power to create both energy independence as well as lower carbon for her province.
The discussion progresses to Louisiana and this autumn’s 6th Congressional District race. State Senator (and former congressman) Cleo Fields is thought to be a proverbial “shoo-in”, yet could the attacks on him by a fellow Democrat force a runoff? Read more about it in Chris's latest article in The Louisiana Weekly.
We conclude with a Happy 50th Birthday to a true public servant State Rep. Mike Bayham, and then talk about how African-American turnout in Georgia for Kamala Harris could frustrate Donald Trump’s prospects to return to the White House. Will his comments at the Black journalist convention shore up African-American turnout for Harris?

Battles politicians. The rest the digitators and logicians are truth
to see the money. They just don't. There's nothing to feel.
The holes, well then a feeling their pockets files the
politicians bouncing down the road. Every bdeer's lis for no moment,
(00:25):
corruption and dysfunctional. It's gonna take me divide it ofvention.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Canada and what a magnificent country. Yes, we're talking about Alberta,
Canada nuclear power. Folks. Did you know Canada is one
of the most wonderful travel destinations.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
In the world.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It is magnificent. One day you might get to go.
I sure, hope I can. And many of our ancestors
are from there, to think of it, Quebec and especially
Montreal and Nova Scotia for US Cajun folk. But we're
also gonna hear about nuclear power. Mike Bayhan's birthday, Alberta
and Louisiana compared the financial crisis in Louisiana legislature and
(01:07):
then finally Kamala Harris and the Black vote. Can she
save it? And God bless all out there. You are
now listening to the founders, show the voice the founding fathers,
your founding fathers coming to you. Deep within the bowels
of those mystic and cryptic alligator swamps of the Big Easy,
that old Crescent City, New Orleans, Louisiana, and high up
(01:30):
on top of that old Liberty Cypress, free draped in
Spanish moss way out on the Eagles Branch, is none
other then you Spin Gary Babby All the Republic Chaplain.
Hi McHenry with.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Christopher tid Moriy, roving reporter, resident Radical Moderate and associate
editor of the Louisiana Weekly newspaper at Louisiana Weekly dot Net.
And Hi, we got quite a show for you, because
I'm coming to you live from the border of British
Columbia and Alberta in Canada, just the wildfires and the
beautiful Canadian Rockies, the town of Invermere at the Copper
(02:05):
Point Resort. And it's been an interesting few days as
I've been transversing the Canadian Rockies. I've been watching the
incredible beauty that this is July, in the beginning of
August in the Canadian Rockies is absolutely beautiful. And I've
been blessed with pretty good weather this week, but the
(02:26):
previous week the weather had been over ninety five degrees
on the fahrenheit scale each day, which is not the height.
In twenty twenty one, it reached one hundred and fourteen
degrees and one of the side effects in the very
dry conditions with lightning strike it caused major fires. The
resort town of Jasper, famous as a place on the
(02:48):
Canadian Pacific Railroad, the launch of the Rocky Mountaineer has
been forty percent destroyed. Over one hundred thousand people have
been displaced in hotels. I've been seeing them all over
and it's interesting how they're dealing with consistently warmer temperatures.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
In the Canadian Rockies.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
One of the side effects, For example, one of the
reasons for the fires is that the Canadian pine beetle,
which is not an invasive species, it is local, but
it used to be killed out by forty degree forty
below zero degree temperatures, which was typical in winter. Now
those temperatures don't get as cold. It gets cold here
in winter, but nothing like it used to, and it's
(03:32):
warmer in summer. And because of that, this has consistently
happened over the last several years. The Canadian pine beetles
have killed a lot of the trees, making them essentially
eating them from the inside out, making them capable of
being Don't worry if you come up here, it's.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Still massive amounts of trees.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
And as I sit giving this, I'm sitting on my
balcony at the Crown Point Resort, looking across a tree
lined scape to the mountains and the clouds coming out
and the snow hot peaks. There still are some glaciers here,
So it is a beautiful place beyond recognition. But it's
kind of interesting because Alberta for those that don't know
Canadian politics, Alberta is the Texas of Canada, and it
(04:14):
is of course the place where huge amounts of oil
and mineral wealth comes. It is a very entrepreneurial place.
It is the home of the Calgary Stampede, one of.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
The largest rodeos in the world.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
And it's got some very libertarian politics, different than the
rest of Canada. And there's some national mandates to stop
using coal driven factory cult driven power plants. Alberta and
this area right on the border of British Columbia are
full of coal.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
These mountains are full of coal.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
And so the Conservative provincial Prime Minister Danielle Smith, and
she's so libertarian.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
She actually has a libertarian phrase tattooed on her arm.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
She's a huge adherent of libertarian politics. Her answer and
sort of a thumb the liberal premieers.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
They're starting to build nuclear plants.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
All over Alberta, both getting carbon down and at the
same time making themselves economically independent, to the point where Alberta,
which has not stopped drilling for oil and exports oil
all the way to Louisiana, as a matter of fact,
and some of it.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
That was the whole idea.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
They Keystone Excel pipeline was supposed to take some of
the oil that comes down to the Gulf Coast more
efficiently than the trains that take it now there. We
may see it again in a new Trump administration if
that comes to pass. But she's taking the initiative to
transfer to nuclear power. And it's interesting she's looking at
environmentalists who are saying, you can't use nuclear, and she said,
(05:45):
this is the most effective way, especially when you have
mountains and valleys. You can't use wind quite the same
way as you as effectively.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
They've got times where it's inversonias, you can't use solar.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
There's a lot of clouds here so why not use
this And the pursuit of nuclear power is something that
we've seen have an interesting effect for many years the French,
where you know, all the Olympics are going on in
Paris and a huge number of people have come into France.
They're having record temperatures. But one of the things the
French have done, going back to Da Gaul and even earlier,
(06:20):
was that they said not only would they be they
would commit to nuclear power for their own sake of independence,
but they would actually reprocess the nuclear fuel.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Something that's illegal in the United States.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
And so all their nuclear waste is in a facility
the size of basically a high school gymnasium. It's in
a low place in Normandy, whereas we use Yucca Mountain
and everything. And so there are efficient ways of doing this,
and with new technologies that are coming out, including you know,
these small nuclear power plants, there are ways to generate
(06:54):
power at low carbon implants without crashing your economy. It's
not an accident that French industry, which has never been
as efficient or as an export driven as German industry
and all this has been thriving, whereas the rest of
the continent that got rid of both nuclear and has
limited their natural gas and coal inputs from Russia. Now
(07:19):
is facing some very difficult times. Alberta has looked at
the rest of Canada, which is following this trap, and said, no,
we're not We're gonna stick to nuclear. It's also kind
of interesting because something in Canada is going to happen
kind of the reverse or but very similar to what
happened in the UK. If tracking polls are accurate, the
(07:42):
ruling Canadian Liberals, who've been in power for most of
the last fourteen years, are going to not only lose
the next election, but they may actually would be reduced
to so many seats, to so few seats in the
Canadian House of Commons that essentially they won't be a
major party. They have a challenge on their left for
(08:05):
the new Democrats, they've got a challenge on their right
from the Conservatives, and they could be squeezed out in
the middle.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
And it's kind of one.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Of those policies that you can't be happy, you can't
appeal to everyone. Very similar experience to what happened to
the UK Tories is they were squeezed on their right
and their left and we'll see if the same effect
happens here. So a lot of interesting from up and
up here at Alberta heading in British Columbia and Vancouver
(08:34):
today and your thoughts and all of this, and the
fact that Louisiana High has been turning away from nuclear
power partially because we have a lot of natural gas.
That makes sense, but partially, but this may not be
the greatest investment when it comes to having a certain
degree of economic independence and a diversified energy profile.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Your thoughts, yes, Chris Frey, and thank you so very much.
That was just fascinating to hear about your current tour
in Canada and what's going on up there. And it
is a fascinating country is and of course I've always
loved it, always been fascinating. Never been to the Canadian Rockies,
but someday hope to. My wife has, and my mother
used to always tell me how beautiful it was. Now
(09:15):
many of our ancestors here in South Louisiana are from Canada,
Nova Scotia, and of course the first one's coming mainly
down from Montreal and a little bit from Quebec, and
so we have a very strong French connection to Canada
here in New Orleans. And South Louisiana. So it should
make Canda very interesting to us, and it does to me.
(09:35):
And I was fascinated to hear about how Alberta is
very libertarian. Oh my goodness, that means they're close ken
politically speaking. To me, at least, that means they're constitutional
conservatives and they believe in Jefferson's plan of government that
governs least, governs best. Wouldn't you love to see that
in this country, folks, Look at the financial success it
(09:57):
has brought them in Alberta. They are one of the
lead parts of the whole country. And by the way, folks,
Counada is not a large country population wise, it's maybe
only ten percent of the population of America, but of
course area wise, it's one of the largest nations in
the world. But it's a small population country. And the
Canadians are very polite and fascinating people, lovely people, and
(10:20):
so I'm so glad to hear they having all that
financial success up there. Burn I'm sorry about the wildfires.
I don't know if that has anything to do with
the screwball government interference trying to control everything, thinking they
know better than mother nature knows. And you know, if
they if perhaps if they had not, and I don't
know this, but they Canada has had a lot of control,
(10:40):
a lot of government control, a lot of socialism, borderline
communism going on up there. And remember their president is
probably one of the illegitimate sons of Castro, so he
was birthed in all that ugly communist, filthy socialism, and
it just destroys things. They think they're smarter than the
nature and know better how to handle things. And uh,
(11:03):
these pine beetles, we hit them down here. A lot
of reasons for the pine beetles were we put the
clamps on the timber industry. And remember the timber industry.
Now for every one tree they cut down, they replant four,
so they're really good for greening the earth. Remember, forest
fires burned down twice as much or no, no, no,
(11:24):
ten times as much as the timber industry takes out
every year. And that's mother nature right there, folks. It's
pretty hard to control that. So the but wildfireest can
be managed and they can be reduced by proper uh
wildland wildland management. Uh wilderness management. And uh, but when
they when they when they get off of these things,
(11:46):
so they try to stop industry and start to control
things that are unnecessary.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Usually it ends up with it with the exact opposite
effect on mother nature, on the wilderness. And I love
the wilderness, folks. Spent Uh you know, I don't know
how many I guess if you add it all, probably
several years in the wilder. This is fascinating to hear
about what's going on with with Canada up there, Christopher
and the UH. As far as the nuclear power goes,
(12:15):
I'm all for it. I'm a hundredson behind it. It's
too bad that they have limited us. If we had
gone ahead like Canada, I mean like France did and
built up our nuclear which is turning out to be
very safe and very clean. If we had just gone
ahead and done that years ago before the liberal liberals
got in and again more government control, more more regulations
(12:36):
shut us down, we wouldn't be having fire energy crisises. Uh.
Look at Canada, I look at France. How well they're doing. So, folks,
we better reconsider all these things. We've better started thinking
about maybe adopting a little bit more of a libertarian
view on how we manage our country. Remember Thomas Jefferson
government that govern's best governs less. We need to do that, folks. Well, Christopher,
(12:57):
I know you've got some more fascinating tales for us
about what what's going on your way, So really looking
forward to hearing your next message for us, Christopher. Being
the fine political investigative journalists that you are, perhaps you
can give us some insights on what's going on with
Cleio Fields and his opponent down here in New Orleans,
(13:20):
Albert Gillery. Tell us, man, what's happening with all of that?
Sounds very interesting? I bet you got some good insights
on it there, rip Christopher.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Well, hi.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Turning back to Louisiana politics, we need to take a
look at the sixth Congressional District race. Now, for those
that don't remember, this is the form. This is the
current seat of Garrett Graves, except it was jerry mandered
in a very different direction and now stretches from Baton
Rouge all the way over to Lafayette, then up to Appolousis, Alexandria,
(13:51):
and up to Shreport. It really does look like a salamander.
It's a classic jerrymander. We are the Founder show, and
Elbert Jerry was a founder, So you know, perhaps this
follows a great tradition. It was drawn at Governor Landry's
behest to get rid of Garrett Graves and create an
African American majority district as the courts had ruled by
Governor Landry's good friend Cleo Fields. How do we know
(14:13):
is Goegle Fields because Governor Landry took a liberal Democrat
and put him in charge of the Judiciary committee to
draw the district. So this kind of this and so
this is a district that was very deliberately drawn to it.
But there's an interesting phenomenon that's happened. He said, you know,
the sixth Congressional District high is Cleo Fields is to
lose this autumn. But nonetheless, a lot of Louisiana Republicans
(14:37):
hoped that low turnout in a December runoff could give
former GOP State Senator Albert Guillery a chance. You remember,
he's an African American Democrat who was a Democratic state
senator who became a Republican.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
He's run for Congress.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
And lieutenant governor before, unsuccessfully, but apparently they think he
might have a chance. African American enthusiasm for the first
woman presidential candidate nominated by a major Party might be
enough though, to propel state center Fields into a first
primary victory on Tuesday, November fifth, election day, but he
still faces in that race three other Democrats that are
(15:17):
vying for the new black majority Street seat. They're relatively
unknowns Quentin Anthony Anderson, Wilcom Jones Junior, and Peter Williams.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Moreover, only Anderson can boast of.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
A serious campaign website Anderson twenty twenty four dot org. Still,
Anderson came out swinging against Fields in the last two weeks,
even after Fields won the official endorsement of the Louisiana
Democratic Party, citing a grainy FBI video from nineteen ninety
seven showing Fields handling a bundle of money and former
(15:49):
Governor and Whatever's office. We all remember this one and
the subsequent two thousand federal corruption trial, and noting that
Fields was named as an unindicted co conspirator in that case,
and declared, do we want to harken back to vote
for the crook.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Era of Louisiana politics? Or do we want to move forward?
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Anderson, who's the executive chairman of a social justice nonprofit,
added that voters should consider who we are as Louisiana
and what politics we want to project on a national
stage now, folks, These comments could prove an early indication
that Cleo Fields might not be able to coast to
the easy victory that everyone expected in Garrett Graves's former district.
(16:31):
Most expected such a result when Fields himself chaired the
legislative committee that drew this district from twenty four percent
African American registration to fifty four percent.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Both critics and allies said he jerrymandered in.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Such a district that kind of sallement away up the
Louisiana that only someone his name, recognition and stature could
have enough impact to be able to win it easily. Nonetheless,
Anderson's critiques of Cleo Fields are hitting a nerve. The
Field's campaign shop back that Cleil Fields has been vetted
many times by the voter of the state, and Fields
(17:05):
himself has previously said he violated no laws, returned the money,
and wasn't even in public office at the time all
that happened in two thousand and Undoubtedly, Kamala Harris will
drive African American turnout on November fifth, and that this
is if Barack Obama's election is any indication and let
(17:26):
the polls and enthusiasm.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
It'll drive up the polls. It won't mean Louisiana will
be in play.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Donald Trump will probably win the state with about sixty
percent of the vote. However, if this is what clil
Fields is counting on that district which voted for Biden,
if that district had existed with fifty nine percent of
the vote in twenty twenty, that there'd be enough support
there with that thing for him to win in the
first primary. Could these attacks his opponent Anderson has made
(17:52):
be enough just to get him below fifty percent, say
to forty nine and Albert Guillery in the number two spot.
Donald Trump's going to win Louisiana easily. And there still
are a lot of Republicans independence in that district who
can put Elbert Gillery into a second spot in a runoff.
He's the only Republican in the field. So if that happens,
(18:14):
the eighty year old African American former state senator, the
idea is in a December runoff might have a chance.
He says, even under ideal circumstances, black turnout, minority turnout
tends to fall in a December runoff when nothing else
is on the ballot. It's very similar in the idea
(18:35):
that Republicans have in Louisiana as Guillery in a low
turnout election with a scandal proven opponent could emerge victorious.
Call it to Joseph gow strategy to get to Congress.
It's exactly what happened how Goo beat very narrowly Bill
Jefferson in a December runoff, even in a district that
was overwhelmingly Democratic and a Republican wasn't supposed to win. Now,
(18:58):
let's remember something. Field is not under indictment as Bill
Jefferson was in the two thousand and eight reelection. He's
a former member of Congress, albeit two point five decades removed,
but he still enjoys the name and power of incumbency
without any damaging scandals in the four terms that he
has had since then. In the Louisiana State Senate, he
(19:26):
served three terms as a senator, sat out for a term,
and then was re elected in twenty nineteen. The question is, though,
can this strategy be pulled off? With the election with
every national poll so tight and the Louisiana and the
US House of Representatives down to a couple of seats.
Every seat counts. Governor Landry was heavily attacked for giving
(19:51):
it and not fighting in courts to keep Garrett Graves's seat.
To keep a Republican seat viable, it would be interesting
Elbert Guillery who could win this seat even despite all
their circumstances. Still, it's Cleo Fields is to lose with
Kamala Harris on the boards. It's very possible. That's exactly
(20:13):
what will happen. Cleo Fields will be returned to Congress
come December eighth. The election run off is December seventh.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Your thoughts high, Wow, Christopher, what a pair of those
two are? Albert Guillery and Cleo Fields. Both men are interesting.
I don't trust Cleo Fields, of course, for many reasons.
To me, it's just part of the old corrupt political crowd.
As far as Kamala helping other African candidates, it may
(20:48):
not work that well at all because one thing africanmen
don't like is they don't want black women running things.
I know this, I'm deeply entrenched in the African American community,
and they don't like it and don't want it. And
that could actually and right now because the Democrat Party
is bleeding African votes. I mean they're in an advanced
tailspin and panic over why they're losing so many African
(21:10):
American votes and why the right Trump and the Republic
Party are gaining so many. This could be maybe even
a shoeing for Elbert Gillery. Now we don't know that.
Time will tell. It'll be interest to see how this
develops with the future. Holes. Right now, Kamala is on
a honeymoon, but that honeymoon's about ready to end as
more and more information as being put out there about
(21:32):
who the real Kama is the Hoe, as her old
boyfriend still calls her. He's the mayor of San Francisco,
and he called her the hoe that she slept her
way to the top, and she was one of his,
He was one of her sugar daddies. They lived together. Yeah,
she's a hoe and she's made it all the way
(21:53):
to the top by being a good hoe and taking notes.
She had a bunch of hoes gyrating for and doing
all their crazy borderline stripteen striptease dances for her in
one of her most recent rallies, a classic mix. She's
not She's she has very little African in her and
the more the Africans realize that the more they're going
(22:13):
to be, they're not going to be so excited about
her being African. She was identified as an Indian for
most of her political career. She did it all, you know,
especially to get votes. She realized that African American vote
wasn't going to help her, so she was a big
Indian and rightfully so. She's at least fifty percent Indian.
She's probably the rest of her is probably, you know,
maybe twenty five percent Black and seventy five percent English.
(22:39):
Harris one of the great Jamaican plantation owners in Jamaica
and slaveholders. By the way, she got a big history
of slavery in her ancestry, even going back to Africa.
But folks, you know, the main slim meaning he is
going to hide all this, We're going to continue to
(22:59):
prom is this great, wonderful African American. And you know,
I grew up in pretending to grow up in poverty.
What a filthy lie that is. She was born into
prestige and privilege. Folks. Her both her parents were university
professors and they were they were wealthy. She didn't grow
up on the poor side of town, even though she came.
(23:20):
She went and waited for her little boast. It never
came because of the evil Biden who had tried to
stop busting because he said he was going to turn
American schools into racial jungles. Yes, folks, Biden is an
ingrained racist, no matter how much he lies to you
now and the Democrat Party lies about it. Well, folks,
it's about time for us to go ahead and take
(23:41):
a break, and we're gonna we'll be back shortly, and
we need to hear some news and some more interesting
information from christ I know he's got something really good
for us. Is there a birthday on our horizon, folks?
And what about Alberta in Louisiana? Can we compare them
and contrast them and learn something from it? And then
(24:01):
do we have another looming financial crisis in Louisiana legislature.
It seems like that's that's all our our elected representatives
are able to give us, is financial crisis. So I
know Chris has got some very good information on this.
I think you're going to share with this, Christophers. I'm
looking forward to it after the break and we'll be
right back, folks.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Hi up here in Canada, I see that everybody puts
out flowers because the summer season is very short. It
stretches from really after the fourth of July to about
the end of August if you're lucky.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
But everyone loves flowers and they'll plant flowers, fresh flowers.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
And I realized how blessed we are at Louisiana to
have access to great flowers at affordable prices all the time.
And that is especially true at Villary's Florist at one
Just call one eight hundred b L E E. Or
visit one of the two Villaries Florist locations on Highway
one ninety in Covington or on Martin Berman right off
(24:59):
Veterans right near the Orleans Jefferson Parish line and get
one of their takeout rose specials. Just ten ninety nine
carry out rose specials. It is just this summer, and
it is an opportunity to show someone how much you
love because there's nothing that quite bretens a person like flowers.
And they interduce have roses. They have a whole variety
of summer arrangements. Check them out Villaries Florist.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Give them a call one.

So thank you so very very much. It's time now
(28:26):
for us to get back with the show with Christopher.
I got a question for you. I got a question
for you, Christopher. We're gonna have a birthday coming up,
and who's birthday? What about Louisiana and Canada? Are we similar?
Are we different? Are we both? And then finally, money, money, money,
where's the money going, Christopher? What's going on with the money? Please?
Louisiana Money I'm talking about folks. So Christopher, take it.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Away, Hi, if you'll indulge me for a moment.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
As I sit out here looking at the mountainscape here
at the Alberta British Columbian border and Invermiere, I think
of one of my dearest friends who's currently celebrating his
fiftieth birthday on the other side of Canada in Quebec City.
State Representative Michael Bayham has been a stalwart for good
government and for righteousness in politics since I first met
(29:16):
him at a student congress in at age fifteen, and
ever since, I've watched Mike fight the good fight, sometimes
against incredible odds at great personal cost. He's one of
the good guys, and throughout his career I've watched him
sometimes take unpopular stands because they have the right thing
(29:37):
to do. It is a rare quality to have in
true integrity in politics, and Mike Bayham does. And he's
going to be facing one of his more solid challenges
coming out of his fiftieth birthday, as he well aware. Look,
Louisiana is going to face potentially a six hundred million
dollar deficit the expiration of the point four to five
(29:58):
percent sales tax is going to put the state in
an economic trauma point, and it's going to be very difficult.
It's fun to be a state rep when there's plenty
of money to throw around. It's not so much fun
when they're massive deficeits. And the only answer is taxation.
And Mike has been a dedicated soldier for tax reform,
(30:20):
trying to actually make Louisiana more competitive with Texas and
Florida and states without income taxes. He's a friend of
Richard Nelson's, who's the Revenue secretary, and hopefully we can
find a way to both stabilize our looming economic crisis
and maybe just maybe make Louisiana a little bit more
(30:40):
competitive with our surrounding states. You know, it's interesting to
watch be up here at Alberta and see the parallels
to Louisiana, particularly North Louisiana. This is an area of
great not cowboys, but also great energy traction. This is
(31:01):
a place of great petroleum and natural gas industries. This
is a territory that is booming and people are most
importantly moving into it. It's got everything Louisiana has, except
for one difference. There are subdivisions going up every single week.
(31:21):
It's amazing to drive outside of Calgary and say, subdivision
coming is. Millions upon millions of people from all over
the world are moving here because of economic opportunity. And
to be honest with you, in Louisiana, we have even
more assets, natural assets than they do here in the
Canadian prairies, even with these beautiful mountains that bisect Alberta
(31:43):
and British Columbia on their borders. And I look at
this and I see all the possibilities that exist and
at the same time, how we haven't taken advantage of them.
I want to wish my happy fiftieth birthday, but I
also want to say that you got a challenge coming
up ahead, and it's the next Legend session, and there
are those of us who are shearing you and your
colleagues and hoping we had a better result.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Your thoughts high, Yes, Christopher, my mind, my heart is
pregnant with thoughts concerning this topic. And happy birthday, Mike.
Mike's a great man. He is a true constitution conservative.
I'm so glad you get friends with him, Christopher, and
have known him for so long. Well, folks, by the way,
we've had him on our show several times. He's a
great speaker. Isn't that fascinating to see how a part
(32:28):
of Canada that applies good old fashioned American constitutional even
parlem you know Magna Carter if you will, from England
concepts of government meaning independence and freedom, real freedom like
the Libertarians are doing up there. Look at the prosperity
(32:51):
it brings, look at the success it brings. And like
Christopher said, we have more resources. Why can't we be
doing that? Folks? Do you realize that every day, every day,
the greatest watershed of wealth passes New Orleans, going up
the river and down the river, the greatest water set
of wealth in the world. What are we getting out
of it? How are we using that as an opportunity
(33:13):
for financial blessings? We're not. Our state has been so
corrupted by big brother government and that means big corruption
that it passes us by on a daily basis, folks.
And then we have our natural resources. We have so
much agricultural product, you name it. This state is so blessed.
(33:35):
And yet where are we Where are we sucking hind tit?
In America? New Orleans used to be ranked as one
of the top ten cities in America, We're not even
the top fifty anymore. That's disgraceful, folks, it's disgraceful. We
need to change this state, we need to change our
political direction. So Christopher, thanks for bringing all this out.
It's a great comparison and contrast between us and that
(33:57):
part of Canada, and that was extremely well done. Thank
you well, Christopher. I know it's time for some more
thoughts on what's happening in our world. And I guess
it's kind of maybe what about Kamala and the African
American vote? How is that going to work out? I
don't know. I've already made comment on it, but of
course you'll hear some more Christopher, tell us what you're
thinking on that topic, please, folks. In case you didn't
(34:19):
realize that Christopher is coming to us live on his
tour up in Canada, so he we're getting the moment
of a moment updates on what's going on up there
and of course all around the country and around the world,
as Christopher is such an accomplished and capable journalist. And
so again, Christopher, what's going on with that vote that's
coming up for Kamala?
Speaker 4 (34:40):
You know how Canada is facing its own federal elections
very soon, and no one's exactly sure when, but it
looks like, as we talked about, Justin Trudeau.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Is going to go down. He's somebody Donald Trump isn't like.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Of course, a lot of the attention in Canada, even
on the Canadian Broadcasting Company, is on what's happening in
the US elections, and people ask me, well, is Trump
gonna win? And I kind of respond to them this way,
it all comes down to African American men, and they're like,
what I said, Well, if Kamala Harris performs with black
(35:16):
voters the way Barack Obama performed, donald Trump cannot win.
But if Donald Trump can either convince a portion not
even twenty percent of Black men to vote for him,
or even stay home, then the scenario reverses and Donald
Trump will emerge victorious. It's a simple math. One of
(35:38):
the things that I point out to people is Donald
Trump actually has never gotten as many votes as Mitt
Romney did in twenty twelve as a Republican, as anybody,
he has not achieved the same number of votes. But
what happened was in twenty sixteen he outperformed Hillary Clinton,
who saw the Black vote collapse, Joe Biden, who saw
(36:01):
an improvement in the African American vote enough to push
him over the top barely in a few key states,
particularly Pennsylvania and Georgia. And if there's a path to
the election of Kamala Harris, she said it this week,
it is the state of Georgia, which, after all, Joe
Biden only won by one by eleven thousand, seven hundred
(36:27):
and seventy nine votes in twenty twenty. So the question
is what happens in both candidates. Both campaigns have been
in Georgia. The Harris campaign has opened twenty four field
offices and one hundred and seventy coordinated staff with twenty
five hundred volunteers, is taking the state very seriously. Trump
is recognizing he doesn't have that kind of operation in
Georgia that he has to.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
He and JD.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
Vance are going down to speak in the same arena
which Kamala Harris spoke this week, And it all comes
down to African American voters and suburban women.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Suburban women may turn out for howr as it stands.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
I know you don't agree with this, but over and over,
the abortion issue is impacting the votes in various areas,
but really it boils down to African American men. African
American women consistently support Harris. There is every poll, everything,
and they have not left the Democratic coalition for Biden
all this, but black men have been in this position
(37:22):
that they kind of some of them kind of like Trump.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
So she's been fighting back.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
Melissa the Stallion spoke for her, and we're going to
see where African American turnout really plays in this election.
It should be close and it will be the king maker.
And if Trump can succeed in his strategy to get
even a small percentage of Black voters but larger than
Republicans who had say, fifteen to twenty percent behind him,
(37:49):
which is not undoable. Republicans usually get even with Obama
got five to six. If that can happen, he's the
next president. If it doesn't, then what happens is very simply,
Georgia and Pennsylvania remain in the Democratic column and Donald
Trump loses for the second time, and we will get
President Kamala Harris. At the beginning of twenty twenty five,
(38:13):
your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Had, yes, Chrisph. Once again, you've got me thinking, and
I do have some thoughts on this as far as
how she's going to win the African American vote, she
thinks she's just going to walk in because remember she
got this position, this candidacy without one vote. It's amazing
how she learned how to sleep her way to the
top and never win elections. Think of that, folks, She's
(38:36):
she's a real bad person, Okay. And the more the
everybody discovers that, the more in populace she's going to become,
and including with the black vote. You know, they're getting
smarter and smart and realizing just because somebody as a
Democrat or Black, doesn't mean that person as their friend
is really going to help them. You know, we white
folks understand that, right. I mean, I could think all
(38:59):
kinds of white folks I can just tear apart, and
I don't care if they're white. So what, I'm not
going to vote for them just because they're white. I mean,
I know many black people. I would vote for them
way before i'd vote for the white person, because the
black people are more capable, more honorable, decent, good. Of
course they're all constitution conservatives. Yeah, let's think a little
bit about old miss Kamala and her affections and her
(39:21):
connections to the black vote. And remember, like I said earlier,
she's not black. She's only a small percentage of hers black,
maybe like I don't know, sixteen, I mean one sixteenth
black something like that. Yeah, let's look at old miss
lock up your brother Kamala, which many politicians and preachers,
(39:41):
black preachers across the country are saying now that hue
and cry is going far and right throughout the Black
community right now. The one who is the fail prosecutor
who loosed many, many hardened criminals loose back into their
African American neighborhoods to create more tragedy, more murders, more rapes,
(40:02):
et cetera. She turned them loose in San Francisco. She
is anti police. And believe me, most Black people want
police because they're they're living in heavy crime areas. They
know they need the police. Also, what about her failed
position as the quote borders are of America. That's another
(40:27):
thing Black folks don't like. They don't like all these
illegals pouring in. They're taking their jobs from them, their competition.
They're they're building a new minority that can out vote
the black minority. So no, they don't like her. Failed
her total I mean, it's a total disaster and failure
at our southern border. Folks, No, Kamala Harris is a failure.
(40:48):
And the more the black people see that and learn it,
I promise you they're not going to be voting for her.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
This could be one of the greatest disasters that Democrat
parties ever which they've ever come up, unless they're planning
to steal the election again. You know, if that's what
if that's what they're thinking, and that's what the real
plan is. They don't care what people think about. Come on,
she'll be the next president if they can get away
with stealing the election again. So folks, hang on to
your seats, and if you have anything about it, try
(41:14):
to make sure the dead don't rise this November and
vote for the Democrat Party. We gotta we gotta fight that.
We got to keep them in their grave so they
can't rise again and vote. That's one of the biggest
ways Democrats get votes, by the way, and they've done
it for you for decades now. I remember as a
little kid, I would hear the Democrat Party here in
New Orleans bragging about how they stole an election. How
many dead people voted. They were proud of that, They
were proud of it. Folks. Well, folks, it is time
(41:37):
for us to take a break as we get ready
for our final section. And I will see you on
the other side with some great history lessons, a gospel
message that shopping by by patriotic moment is right around
the corner for your folks. So we'll see you in
just right after this break. And thank you.
Speaker 5 (41:58):
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 areas. 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.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
Well, folks are back and you are listening to the
Founders show the voice of the Founding fathers, and it
is now time for us to go into our chaplain Bob,
patriotic moment. We just take a brief moment to remind
you of the biblical foundations of our country, our Judeo
Christian jurisprudence. And today I like to talk about one
of my favorites, and his name is Richard Allen. He
was a preacher, Reverend Richard Allen. He was an African
(43:08):
American born in Philadelphia to slavery. He and his parents,
his family. They were all slaves to a Philadelphia owner.
He was later sold in Delaware to in Dover, Delaware,
to a new master named Stokely Sturgis. During that time
(43:29):
he was allowed to attend Methodist religious meetings. We learned
to read. At the age of seventeen, he was converted.
After a long agonizing struggle over the destiny of his
soul and his sinful condition, he found Jesus and was
born again gloriously so and he wanted to prove that
Christiana did not make slaves lazy or slothful, and that
(43:52):
it actually made them better workers. But along the way
his master began to hear from these Methodist preachers and
some of the Baptists that slavery was one of the
worst sum of all villainies, and that on the day
of judgment. Slave owners will be weighed in the balances
and found wanting from that, he converted the master of
(44:14):
mister Sturgis Any made arrangements for Richard to become free.
Richard Allen became a licensing ex sort in seventeen eighty three.
He's out preaching in Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland,
walking to all these places and many times wearing his
feet out with heavily loaded with blisters. But he loved
the Lord and wanted to get the Gospel to his
lost brothers. He became a founder of and great preacher
(44:38):
at Saint George's Methodist Episcopal Church, and he was, in
fact it was at church where doctor Benjamin rushed from
New England and George Washington contributed to that church financially
to help build it. In eighteen sixty he founded a
brand new denomination called the African Methodist Episcopal Church, first
(45:00):
African American nomination organized in the United States, and he
was helped build and create the Mother Church in Philadelphia
known as Mother Bethel Ame Church. The initials fart is
American Methodist, African American Methodist, the Pitscopal Church. He licensed
(45:21):
one of the first female preacher named Jerina Lee in America.
In eighteen thirty one, that church had grown to over
ten thousand members, and the Ame Church today has over
three million. The motto of the Ame Church is God,
our Father, Christ, our Redeemer, the Holy Spirit, our comforter, humankind,
(45:42):
our family. You know his motto and his statement of
his life. Near the end of his life in his autobiographer,
he left us with this message, this land, which we
have watered with our tears and our blood is now
our mother free. And we're well satisfied to stay where
wisdom of bounds and the Gospel is free. Folks. Richard
(46:07):
Allen was a remarkable man, a true man of God
and a man that had a huge influence on the
biblical foundations of our country. Our Judeo Christian jurisprudence, as
you can see. But folks, what about you. It's a
gospel free for you, as Richard Allen said. Reverend Richard
Allen said, well, let's take a look at that as
we now go into our chaplain, Bye bye gospel moment.
(46:27):
You know, the Bible says we have been saved by grace.
The word grace means a gift, and gifts are free.
You don't pay for a gift. If you do, it's
not free. It has to be free. It has to
be something you didn't deserve. It's just a gift of
something that out of the kindness and goodness of someone's heart,
their love, or their their goodness, gave you something good.
(46:49):
That's called a gift. It could be all kinds of things.
Think of it. You've gotten gifts before, and they're all free.
You don't pay for them. Some hand you give you,
no reach in your pocket to pay, and whatever you
think the gift is worth, No, you take it for free.
It's free. And that's how God has given us everlasting life,
given us heaven, and saved us from a burning hell. Folks,
(47:09):
the scripture says again in Ephesians two eight and nine,
for we have been saved by grace. Remember free gift.
We've been saved by grace through faith. When you get
a gift, you gotta take it. It doesn't just fall
in your life. You got to reach out and grab it.
Right well, you don't physically grab the grace of God.
You have to It takes place in your heart and
your mind. You grab it with what's called faith. So
(47:31):
we've been saved by grace through faith. I mean, as
you believe it's true for you. We've been saved by
grace through faith. And even that is not of ourselves.
It is a gift of God, not of works, lest
any man should boast you. See, there's no good work
you could ever do to get yourself into heaven. I
don't care how good a person you are. I don't
care how many good things you do. You know, you
go to church, you do special religious prayers and ceremonies,
(47:55):
You get baptized so many times. The tadpoles have you
a social Security number, you give generously to the church,
you go do it, or knocking on doors, hanging out
gospel tracks. Who knows what you might be doing. Yeah,
you have a great radio show that preaches a gospel.
It doesn't matter, folks, None of that will get you
into heaven, because those are all your good works. You
turn from your sins, you repent of your sins. All
(48:16):
these things, those are all human effort, human works. And
they don't count the scriptures. All of your righteous all
your great human works, all of your righteousness are as
filthy rags. God's perfect. We're not no matter how good
we are, it just doesn't measure up to His perfection.
So forget it. And a split second you forget it
and you give up on it, and you realize you
cannot save yourself. You're hopelessly and helplessly lost, destined to
(48:38):
a burning hell. When you come to that point in
your life, you have just repented. That's what repentance is.
It's not a work, it is a belief. So you see,
saving faith is like a coin, a two sided coin.
On one side, you believe you can't save yourself, so
you're free to believe on the other side of the
coin that only Jesus can save you, did save you
(48:58):
and will save you, as he died for all of
your sins. That's called the gospel. He died for all
of your sins, was buried and rose from the dead
to win for you his precious free gift of resurrection,
ever lasting life. You know the scripture says, a split second,
you believe that you've just been born again, you become
God's child forever. Born again means that your dead and
dying spirit has now become fully alive and you can
(49:20):
never go to hell because only the living are in heaven.
The people in Hell are literally the walking dead, like zombies.
They have existence, they have memories, but they have no
real life. They have they can, they're conscious, they know
what's going on, and yet they're destined to roam the
(49:41):
portals of a burning, horrible septic tank Hell forever and
you never get out of it. You know, God made
Hell for all the bad things in this world. The
Bible says, He's gonna throw all sin, andt A's gonna
throw all death, and al I's gonna throw all devils
in all. That's what he kind of ended it with that.
But then you know, later on something was added. The
scripture says Hell as being enlarged. You know why it's
(50:02):
being enlarged because people who reject Jesus and the Gospel.
The scripture says, the gospel is the power of God
into salvation. The word gospel just means good news. And
the scripture says, for I declare to you the gospel
that Jesus died for all of our sins, was buried
and rose from the dead. According to the scripture, folks,
that's what you gotta believe and nothing else. You got
(50:22):
to put faith alone and Cristlone. You gotta believe. You
can't save yourself. You see, you just repent it, and
as soon as you do, God moves on you like lightning,
like white on rice, to let you know that only
Jesus can get you into heaven. Only Jesus has the
keys for heaven. You've got to trust him. You've got
to believe in him that he did die for all
your sins, was buried and roast in the dead. Folks,
(50:44):
don't wait till it's too late. Don't wait till it's
to wait, like the old country preacher said, and like
the scripture says, now today is a day of salvation. Folks.
If you've never done this before, do it now. Believe
that Jesus is the only way. Next thing, folks on
as we close its show, is to go in and
tell you about the end of this world. It's coming
to an end, and it's coming soon. The scripture gives
(51:06):
us all the signs are over two hundred prophecies about Jesus,
says second coming. There they are over one hundred about
his first coming. Does that mean the second coming was
more important? Well, I don't know about that, but I
guarantee you it's extremely important. If there are that many passages,
and do you know they have just about all come
true now and I'm talking about they're all happening even
right now. Jesus said, when you see all of these
(51:26):
things happening, and is all of that discourse about end
times about when he would come back, he said, when
you see all these things happening, you know, coincidentally, all
at the same time, When you see him all happening
at the same time, then I'm at the door and
he says, no man knows the day of the hour,
but you will know the general time. You will know
the season. Folks. We're in that general season, and that
means he's coming really really soon. And when he comes,
(51:49):
it's going to be bad. The scripture says that there's
going to be a great evil political movement that's going
to reach the whole world. It's going to be led
by a man named the anti crime, the very epitome
of the ultimate and evil, like Adolf Hitler, but many
times worse. Folks, That day is upon us right now.
Look at what the political leadership is doing all around
(52:11):
the world. Look at what's happening in our country right now,
and it says that this great leader is going he's
going to explode on the scenes, and he's going to
do it through disasters and calamities, coming in claiming to
be our savior. Folks, have you ever heard that saying,
never let a disaster go unwated? I have. Have you
ever seen groups and political movements that create disasters that
didn't have to happen? You see, they're creating all this
(52:34):
chaos and mayhem and misery so then they can come
in and pretend they're going to save us. And that's
exactly what the Antichrist does. He's described of the ten
great horns of the End. Horns mean seats of power.
He's described as the little horn with eyes that means
he's got great intelligence and a big mouth that means
he's a big talker, folks were at that time. Look around,
(52:57):
you see any any people that are big, big, loud
mouthed talkers that can destroy this whole world. It's happening
right in front of us right now. Folks, Listen, the
only hope we're gonna have at that time is Jesus.
If you don't know him, you better get to know
him now. And like I said earlier, don't wait until
it's too late. Well, it's time for us to close.
We close with the mind Saint Martin singing a krill goodbye,
(53:19):
and God bless all out there.
Speaker 3 (53:27):
We call you, we goodbye.
Speaker 1 (53:33):
They think we just wasted the time. Put me in
all three seven. There's time for a creal goodbye.
Battles politicians. The rest the digitators and logicians are truth
to see the money. They just don't. There's nothing to feel.
The holes, well then a feeling their pockets files the
politicians bouncing down the road. Every bdeer's lis for no moment,
(00:25):
corruption and dysfunctional. It's gonna take me divide it ofvention.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Canada and what a magnificent country. Yes, we're talking about Alberta,
Canada nuclear power. Folks. Did you know Canada is one
of the most wonderful travel destinations.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
In the world.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It is magnificent. One day you might get to go.
I sure, hope I can. And many of our ancestors
are from there, to think of it, Quebec and especially
Montreal and Nova Scotia for US Cajun folk. But we're
also gonna hear about nuclear power. Mike Bayhan's birthday, Alberta
and Louisiana compared the financial crisis in Louisiana legislature and
(01:07):
then finally Kamala Harris and the Black vote. Can she
save it? And God bless all out there. You are
now listening to the founders, show the voice the founding fathers,
your founding fathers coming to you. Deep within the bowels
of those mystic and cryptic alligator swamps of the Big Easy,
that old Crescent City, New Orleans, Louisiana, and high up
(01:30):
on top of that old Liberty Cypress, free draped in
Spanish moss way out on the Eagles Branch, is none
other then you Spin Gary Babby All the Republic Chaplain.
Hi McHenry with.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Christopher tid Moriy, roving reporter, resident Radical Moderate and associate
editor of the Louisiana Weekly newspaper at Louisiana Weekly dot Net.
And Hi, we got quite a show for you, because
I'm coming to you live from the border of British
Columbia and Alberta in Canada, just the wildfires and the
beautiful Canadian Rockies, the town of Invermere at the Copper
(02:05):
Point Resort. And it's been an interesting few days as
I've been transversing the Canadian Rockies. I've been watching the
incredible beauty that this is July, in the beginning of
August in the Canadian Rockies is absolutely beautiful. And I've
been blessed with pretty good weather this week, but the
(02:26):
previous week the weather had been over ninety five degrees
on the fahrenheit scale each day, which is not the height.
In twenty twenty one, it reached one hundred and fourteen
degrees and one of the side effects in the very
dry conditions with lightning strike it caused major fires. The
resort town of Jasper, famous as a place on the
(02:48):
Canadian Pacific Railroad, the launch of the Rocky Mountaineer has
been forty percent destroyed. Over one hundred thousand people have
been displaced in hotels. I've been seeing them all over
and it's interesting how they're dealing with consistently warmer temperatures.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
In the Canadian Rockies.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
One of the side effects, For example, one of the
reasons for the fires is that the Canadian pine beetle,
which is not an invasive species, it is local, but
it used to be killed out by forty degree forty
below zero degree temperatures, which was typical in winter. Now
those temperatures don't get as cold. It gets cold here
in winter, but nothing like it used to, and it's
(03:32):
warmer in summer. And because of that, this has consistently
happened over the last several years. The Canadian pine beetles
have killed a lot of the trees, making them essentially
eating them from the inside out, making them capable of
being Don't worry if you come up here, it's.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Still massive amounts of trees.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
And as I sit giving this, I'm sitting on my
balcony at the Crown Point Resort, looking across a tree
lined scape to the mountains and the clouds coming out
and the snow hot peaks. There still are some glaciers here,
So it is a beautiful place beyond recognition. But it's
kind of interesting because Alberta for those that don't know
Canadian politics, Alberta is the Texas of Canada, and it
(04:14):
is of course the place where huge amounts of oil
and mineral wealth comes. It is a very entrepreneurial place.
It is the home of the Calgary Stampede, one of.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
The largest rodeos in the world.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
And it's got some very libertarian politics, different than the
rest of Canada. And there's some national mandates to stop
using coal driven factory cult driven power plants. Alberta and
this area right on the border of British Columbia are
full of coal.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
These mountains are full of coal.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
And so the Conservative provincial Prime Minister Danielle Smith, and
she's so libertarian.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
She actually has a libertarian phrase tattooed on her arm.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
She's a huge adherent of libertarian politics. Her answer and
sort of a thumb the liberal premieers.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
They're starting to build nuclear plants.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
All over Alberta, both getting carbon down and at the
same time making themselves economically independent, to the point where Alberta,
which has not stopped drilling for oil and exports oil
all the way to Louisiana, as a matter of fact,
and some of it.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
That was the whole idea.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
They Keystone Excel pipeline was supposed to take some of
the oil that comes down to the Gulf Coast more
efficiently than the trains that take it now there. We
may see it again in a new Trump administration if
that comes to pass. But she's taking the initiative to
transfer to nuclear power. And it's interesting she's looking at
environmentalists who are saying, you can't use nuclear, and she said,
(05:45):
this is the most effective way, especially when you have
mountains and valleys. You can't use wind quite the same
way as you as effectively.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
They've got times where it's inversonias, you can't use solar.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
There's a lot of clouds here so why not use
this And the pursuit of nuclear power is something that
we've seen have an interesting effect for many years the French,
where you know, all the Olympics are going on in
Paris and a huge number of people have come into France.
They're having record temperatures. But one of the things the
French have done, going back to Da Gaul and even earlier,
(06:20):
was that they said not only would they be they
would commit to nuclear power for their own sake of independence,
but they would actually reprocess the nuclear fuel.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Something that's illegal in the United States.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
And so all their nuclear waste is in a facility
the size of basically a high school gymnasium. It's in
a low place in Normandy, whereas we use Yucca Mountain
and everything. And so there are efficient ways of doing this,
and with new technologies that are coming out, including you know,
these small nuclear power plants, there are ways to generate
(06:54):
power at low carbon implants without crashing your economy. It's
not an accident that French industry, which has never been
as efficient or as an export driven as German industry
and all this has been thriving, whereas the rest of
the continent that got rid of both nuclear and has
limited their natural gas and coal inputs from Russia. Now
(07:19):
is facing some very difficult times. Alberta has looked at
the rest of Canada, which is following this trap, and said, no,
we're not We're gonna stick to nuclear. It's also kind
of interesting because something in Canada is going to happen
kind of the reverse or but very similar to what
happened in the UK. If tracking polls are accurate, the
(07:42):
ruling Canadian Liberals, who've been in power for most of
the last fourteen years, are going to not only lose
the next election, but they may actually would be reduced
to so many seats, to so few seats in the
Canadian House of Commons that essentially they won't be a
major party. They have a challenge on their left for
(08:05):
the new Democrats, they've got a challenge on their right
from the Conservatives, and they could be squeezed out in
the middle.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
And it's kind of one.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Of those policies that you can't be happy, you can't
appeal to everyone. Very similar experience to what happened to
the UK Tories is they were squeezed on their right
and their left and we'll see if the same effect
happens here. So a lot of interesting from up and
up here at Alberta heading in British Columbia and Vancouver
(08:34):
today and your thoughts and all of this, and the
fact that Louisiana High has been turning away from nuclear
power partially because we have a lot of natural gas.
That makes sense, but partially, but this may not be
the greatest investment when it comes to having a certain
degree of economic independence and a diversified energy profile.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Your thoughts, yes, Chris Frey, and thank you so very much.
That was just fascinating to hear about your current tour
in Canada and what's going on up there. And it
is a fascinating country is and of course I've always
loved it, always been fascinating. Never been to the Canadian Rockies,
but someday hope to. My wife has, and my mother
used to always tell me how beautiful it was. Now
(09:15):
many of our ancestors here in South Louisiana are from Canada,
Nova Scotia, and of course the first one's coming mainly
down from Montreal and a little bit from Quebec, and
so we have a very strong French connection to Canada
here in New Orleans. And South Louisiana. So it should
make Canda very interesting to us, and it does to me.
(09:35):
And I was fascinated to hear about how Alberta is
very libertarian. Oh my goodness, that means they're close ken
politically speaking. To me, at least, that means they're constitutional
conservatives and they believe in Jefferson's plan of government that
governs least, governs best. Wouldn't you love to see that
in this country, folks, Look at the financial success it
(09:57):
has brought them in Alberta. They are one of the
lead parts of the whole country. And by the way, folks,
Counada is not a large country population wise, it's maybe
only ten percent of the population of America, but of
course area wise, it's one of the largest nations in
the world. But it's a small population country. And the
Canadians are very polite and fascinating people, lovely people, and
(10:20):
so I'm so glad to hear they having all that
financial success up there. Burn I'm sorry about the wildfires.
I don't know if that has anything to do with
the screwball government interference trying to control everything, thinking they
know better than mother nature knows. And you know, if
they if perhaps if they had not, and I don't
know this, but they Canada has had a lot of control,
(10:40):
a lot of government control, a lot of socialism, borderline
communism going on up there. And remember their president is
probably one of the illegitimate sons of Castro, so he
was birthed in all that ugly communist, filthy socialism, and
it just destroys things. They think they're smarter than the
nature and know better how to handle things. And uh,
(11:03):
these pine beetles, we hit them down here. A lot
of reasons for the pine beetles were we put the
clamps on the timber industry. And remember the timber industry.
Now for every one tree they cut down, they replant four,
so they're really good for greening the earth. Remember, forest
fires burned down twice as much or no, no, no,
(11:24):
ten times as much as the timber industry takes out
every year. And that's mother nature right there, folks. It's
pretty hard to control that. So the but wildfireest can
be managed and they can be reduced by proper uh
wildland wildland management. Uh wilderness management. And uh, but when
they when they when they get off of these things,
(11:46):
so they try to stop industry and start to control
things that are unnecessary.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Usually it ends up with it with the exact opposite
effect on mother nature, on the wilderness. And I love
the wilderness, folks. Spent Uh you know, I don't know
how many I guess if you add it all, probably
several years in the wilder. This is fascinating to hear
about what's going on with with Canada up there, Christopher
and the UH. As far as the nuclear power goes,
(12:15):
I'm all for it. I'm a hundredson behind it. It's
too bad that they have limited us. If we had
gone ahead like Canada, I mean like France did and
built up our nuclear which is turning out to be
very safe and very clean. If we had just gone
ahead and done that years ago before the liberal liberals
got in and again more government control, more more regulations
(12:36):
shut us down, we wouldn't be having fire energy crisises. Uh.
Look at Canada, I look at France. How well they're doing. So, folks,
we better reconsider all these things. We've better started thinking
about maybe adopting a little bit more of a libertarian
view on how we manage our country. Remember Thomas Jefferson
government that govern's best governs less. We need to do that, folks. Well, Christopher,
(12:57):
I know you've got some more fascinating tales for us
about what what's going on your way, So really looking
forward to hearing your next message for us, Christopher. Being
the fine political investigative journalists that you are, perhaps you
can give us some insights on what's going on with
Cleio Fields and his opponent down here in New Orleans,
(13:20):
Albert Gillery. Tell us, man, what's happening with all of that?
Sounds very interesting? I bet you got some good insights
on it there, rip Christopher.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Well, hi.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Turning back to Louisiana politics, we need to take a
look at the sixth Congressional District race. Now, for those
that don't remember, this is the form. This is the
current seat of Garrett Graves, except it was jerry mandered
in a very different direction and now stretches from Baton
Rouge all the way over to Lafayette, then up to Appolousis, Alexandria,
(13:51):
and up to Shreport. It really does look like a salamander.
It's a classic jerrymander. We are the Founder show, and
Elbert Jerry was a founder, So you know, perhaps this
follows a great tradition. It was drawn at Governor Landry's
behest to get rid of Garrett Graves and create an
African American majority district as the courts had ruled by
Governor Landry's good friend Cleo Fields. How do we know
(14:13):
is Goegle Fields because Governor Landry took a liberal Democrat
and put him in charge of the Judiciary committee to
draw the district. So this kind of this and so
this is a district that was very deliberately drawn to it.
But there's an interesting phenomenon that's happened. He said, you know,
the sixth Congressional District high is Cleo Fields is to
lose this autumn. But nonetheless, a lot of Louisiana Republicans
(14:37):
hoped that low turnout in a December runoff could give
former GOP State Senator Albert Guillery a chance. You remember,
he's an African American Democrat who was a Democratic state
senator who became a Republican.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
He's run for Congress.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
And lieutenant governor before, unsuccessfully, but apparently they think he
might have a chance. African American enthusiasm for the first
woman presidential candidate nominated by a major Party might be
enough though, to propel state center Fields into a first
primary victory on Tuesday, November fifth, election day, but he
still faces in that race three other Democrats that are
(15:17):
vying for the new black majority Street seat. They're relatively
unknowns Quentin Anthony Anderson, Wilcom Jones Junior, and Peter Williams.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Moreover, only Anderson can boast of.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
A serious campaign website Anderson twenty twenty four dot org. Still,
Anderson came out swinging against Fields in the last two weeks,
even after Fields won the official endorsement of the Louisiana
Democratic Party, citing a grainy FBI video from nineteen ninety
seven showing Fields handling a bundle of money and former
(15:49):
Governor and Whatever's office. We all remember this one and
the subsequent two thousand federal corruption trial, and noting that
Fields was named as an unindicted co conspirator in that case,
and declared, do we want to harken back to vote
for the crook.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Era of Louisiana politics? Or do we want to move forward?
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Anderson, who's the executive chairman of a social justice nonprofit,
added that voters should consider who we are as Louisiana
and what politics we want to project on a national
stage now, folks, These comments could prove an early indication
that Cleo Fields might not be able to coast to
the easy victory that everyone expected in Garrett Graves's former district.
(16:31):
Most expected such a result when Fields himself chaired the
legislative committee that drew this district from twenty four percent
African American registration to fifty four percent.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Both critics and allies said he jerrymandered in.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Such a district that kind of sallement away up the
Louisiana that only someone his name, recognition and stature could
have enough impact to be able to win it easily. Nonetheless,
Anderson's critiques of Cleo Fields are hitting a nerve. The
Field's campaign shop back that Cleil Fields has been vetted
many times by the voter of the state, and Fields
(17:05):
himself has previously said he violated no laws, returned the money,
and wasn't even in public office at the time all
that happened in two thousand and Undoubtedly, Kamala Harris will
drive African American turnout on November fifth, and that this
is if Barack Obama's election is any indication and let
(17:26):
the polls and enthusiasm.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
It'll drive up the polls. It won't mean Louisiana will
be in play.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Donald Trump will probably win the state with about sixty
percent of the vote. However, if this is what clil
Fields is counting on that district which voted for Biden,
if that district had existed with fifty nine percent of
the vote in twenty twenty, that there'd be enough support
there with that thing for him to win in the
first primary. Could these attacks his opponent Anderson has made
(17:52):
be enough just to get him below fifty percent, say
to forty nine and Albert Guillery in the number two spot.
Donald Trump's going to win Louisiana easily. And there still
are a lot of Republicans independence in that district who
can put Elbert Gillery into a second spot in a runoff.
He's the only Republican in the field. So if that happens,
(18:14):
the eighty year old African American former state senator, the
idea is in a December runoff might have a chance.
He says, even under ideal circumstances, black turnout, minority turnout
tends to fall in a December runoff when nothing else
is on the ballot. It's very similar in the idea
(18:35):
that Republicans have in Louisiana as Guillery in a low
turnout election with a scandal proven opponent could emerge victorious.
Call it to Joseph gow strategy to get to Congress.
It's exactly what happened how Goo beat very narrowly Bill
Jefferson in a December runoff, even in a district that
was overwhelmingly Democratic and a Republican wasn't supposed to win. Now,
(18:58):
let's remember something. Field is not under indictment as Bill
Jefferson was in the two thousand and eight reelection. He's
a former member of Congress, albeit two point five decades removed,
but he still enjoys the name and power of incumbency
without any damaging scandals in the four terms that he
has had since then. In the Louisiana State Senate, he
(19:26):
served three terms as a senator, sat out for a term,
and then was re elected in twenty nineteen. The question is, though,
can this strategy be pulled off? With the election with
every national poll so tight and the Louisiana and the
US House of Representatives down to a couple of seats.
Every seat counts. Governor Landry was heavily attacked for giving
(19:51):
it and not fighting in courts to keep Garrett Graves's seat.
To keep a Republican seat viable, it would be interesting
Elbert Guillery who could win this seat even despite all
their circumstances. Still, it's Cleo Fields is to lose with
Kamala Harris on the boards. It's very possible. That's exactly
(20:13):
what will happen. Cleo Fields will be returned to Congress
come December eighth. The election run off is December seventh.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Your thoughts high, Wow, Christopher, what a pair of those
two are? Albert Guillery and Cleo Fields. Both men are interesting.
I don't trust Cleo Fields, of course, for many reasons.
To me, it's just part of the old corrupt political crowd.
As far as Kamala helping other African candidates, it may
(20:48):
not work that well at all because one thing africanmen
don't like is they don't want black women running things.
I know this, I'm deeply entrenched in the African American community,
and they don't like it and don't want it. And
that could actually and right now because the Democrat Party
is bleeding African votes. I mean they're in an advanced
tailspin and panic over why they're losing so many African
(21:10):
American votes and why the right Trump and the Republic
Party are gaining so many. This could be maybe even
a shoeing for Elbert Gillery. Now we don't know that.
Time will tell. It'll be interest to see how this
develops with the future. Holes. Right now, Kamala is on
a honeymoon, but that honeymoon's about ready to end as
more and more information as being put out there about
(21:32):
who the real Kama is the Hoe, as her old
boyfriend still calls her. He's the mayor of San Francisco,
and he called her the hoe that she slept her
way to the top, and she was one of his,
He was one of her sugar daddies. They lived together. Yeah,
she's a hoe and she's made it all the way
(21:53):
to the top by being a good hoe and taking notes.
She had a bunch of hoes gyrating for and doing
all their crazy borderline stripteen striptease dances for her in
one of her most recent rallies, a classic mix. She's
not She's she has very little African in her and
the more the Africans realize that the more they're going
(22:13):
to be, they're not going to be so excited about
her being African. She was identified as an Indian for
most of her political career. She did it all, you know,
especially to get votes. She realized that African American vote
wasn't going to help her, so she was a big
Indian and rightfully so. She's at least fifty percent Indian.
She's probably the rest of her is probably, you know,
maybe twenty five percent Black and seventy five percent English.
(22:39):
Harris one of the great Jamaican plantation owners in Jamaica
and slaveholders. By the way, she got a big history
of slavery in her ancestry, even going back to Africa.
But folks, you know, the main slim meaning he is
going to hide all this, We're going to continue to
(22:59):
prom is this great, wonderful African American. And you know,
I grew up in pretending to grow up in poverty.
What a filthy lie that is. She was born into
prestige and privilege. Folks. Her both her parents were university
professors and they were they were wealthy. She didn't grow
up on the poor side of town, even though she came.
(23:20):
She went and waited for her little boast. It never
came because of the evil Biden who had tried to
stop busting because he said he was going to turn
American schools into racial jungles. Yes, folks, Biden is an
ingrained racist, no matter how much he lies to you
now and the Democrat Party lies about it. Well, folks,
it's about time for us to go ahead and take
(23:41):
a break, and we're gonna we'll be back shortly, and
we need to hear some news and some more interesting
information from christ I know he's got something really good
for us. Is there a birthday on our horizon, folks?
And what about Alberta in Louisiana? Can we compare them
and contrast them and learn something from it? And then
(24:01):
do we have another looming financial crisis in Louisiana legislature.
It seems like that's that's all our our elected representatives
are able to give us, is financial crisis. So I
know Chris has got some very good information on this.
I think you're going to share with this, Christophers. I'm
looking forward to it after the break and we'll be
right back, folks.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Hi up here in Canada, I see that everybody puts
out flowers because the summer season is very short. It
stretches from really after the fourth of July to about
the end of August if you're lucky.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
But everyone loves flowers and they'll plant flowers, fresh flowers.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
And I realized how blessed we are at Louisiana to
have access to great flowers at affordable prices all the time.
And that is especially true at Villary's Florist at one
Just call one eight hundred b L E E. Or
visit one of the two Villaries Florist locations on Highway
one ninety in Covington or on Martin Berman right off
(24:59):
Veterans right near the Orleans Jefferson Parish line and get
one of their takeout rose specials. Just ten ninety nine
carry out rose specials. It is just this summer, and
it is an opportunity to show someone how much you
love because there's nothing that quite bretens a person like flowers.
And they interduce have roses. They have a whole variety
of summer arrangements. Check them out Villaries Florist.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Give them a call one.
Speaker 4 (25:22):

Are we different? Are we both? And then finally, money, money, money,
where's the money going, Christopher? What's going on with the money? Please?
Louisiana Money I'm talking about folks. So Christopher, take it.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Away, Hi, if you'll indulge me for a moment.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
As I sit out here looking at the mountainscape here
at the Alberta British Columbian border and Invermiere, I think
of one of my dearest friends who's currently celebrating his
fiftieth birthday on the other side of Canada in Quebec City.
State Representative Michael Bayham has been a stalwart for good
government and for righteousness in politics since I first met
(29:16):
him at a student congress in at age fifteen, and
ever since, I've watched Mike fight the good fight, sometimes
against incredible odds at great personal cost. He's one of
the good guys, and throughout his career I've watched him
sometimes take unpopular stands because they have the right thing
(29:37):
to do. It is a rare quality to have in
true integrity in politics, and Mike Bayham does. And he's
going to be facing one of his more solid challenges
coming out of his fiftieth birthday, as he well aware. Look,
Louisiana is going to face potentially a six hundred million
dollar deficit the expiration of the point four to five
(29:58):
percent sales tax is going to put the state in
an economic trauma point, and it's going to be very difficult.
It's fun to be a state rep when there's plenty
of money to throw around. It's not so much fun
when they're massive deficeits. And the only answer is taxation.
And Mike has been a dedicated soldier for tax reform,
(30:20):
trying to actually make Louisiana more competitive with Texas and
Florida and states without income taxes. He's a friend of
Richard Nelson's, who's the Revenue secretary, and hopefully we can
find a way to both stabilize our looming economic crisis
and maybe just maybe make Louisiana a little bit more
(30:40):
competitive with our surrounding states. You know, it's interesting to
watch be up here at Alberta and see the parallels
to Louisiana, particularly North Louisiana. This is an area of
great not cowboys, but also great energy traction. This is
(31:01):
a place of great petroleum and natural gas industries. This
is a territory that is booming and people are most
importantly moving into it. It's got everything Louisiana has, except
for one difference. There are subdivisions going up every single week.
(31:21):
It's amazing to drive outside of Calgary and say, subdivision
coming is. Millions upon millions of people from all over
the world are moving here because of economic opportunity. And
to be honest with you, in Louisiana, we have even
more assets, natural assets than they do here in the
Canadian prairies, even with these beautiful mountains that bisect Alberta
(31:43):
and British Columbia on their borders. And I look at
this and I see all the possibilities that exist and
at the same time, how we haven't taken advantage of them.
I want to wish my happy fiftieth birthday, but I
also want to say that you got a challenge coming
up ahead, and it's the next Legend session, and there
are those of us who are shearing you and your
colleagues and hoping we had a better result.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Your thoughts high, Yes, Christopher, my mind, my heart is
pregnant with thoughts concerning this topic. And happy birthday, Mike.
Mike's a great man. He is a true constitution conservative.
I'm so glad you get friends with him, Christopher, and
have known him for so long. Well, folks, by the way,
we've had him on our show several times. He's a
great speaker. Isn't that fascinating to see how a part
(32:28):
of Canada that applies good old fashioned American constitutional even
parlem you know Magna Carter if you will, from England
concepts of government meaning independence and freedom, real freedom like
the Libertarians are doing up there. Look at the prosperity
(32:51):
it brings, look at the success it brings. And like
Christopher said, we have more resources. Why can't we be
doing that? Folks? Do you realize that every day, every day,
the greatest watershed of wealth passes New Orleans, going up
the river and down the river, the greatest water set
of wealth in the world. What are we getting out
of it? How are we using that as an opportunity
(33:13):
for financial blessings? We're not. Our state has been so
corrupted by big brother government and that means big corruption
that it passes us by on a daily basis, folks.
And then we have our natural resources. We have so
much agricultural product, you name it. This state is so blessed.
(33:35):
And yet where are we Where are we sucking hind tit?
In America? New Orleans used to be ranked as one
of the top ten cities in America, We're not even
the top fifty anymore. That's disgraceful, folks, it's disgraceful. We
need to change this state, we need to change our
political direction. So Christopher, thanks for bringing all this out.
It's a great comparison and contrast between us and that
(33:57):
part of Canada, and that was extremely well done. Thank
you well, Christopher. I know it's time for some more
thoughts on what's happening in our world. And I guess
it's kind of maybe what about Kamala and the African
American vote? How is that going to work out? I
don't know. I've already made comment on it, but of
course you'll hear some more Christopher, tell us what you're
thinking on that topic, please, folks. In case you didn't
(34:19):
realize that Christopher is coming to us live on his
tour up in Canada, so he we're getting the moment
of a moment updates on what's going on up there
and of course all around the country and around the world,
as Christopher is such an accomplished and capable journalist. And
so again, Christopher, what's going on with that vote that's
coming up for Kamala?
Speaker 4 (34:40):
You know how Canada is facing its own federal elections
very soon, and no one's exactly sure when, but it
looks like, as we talked about, Justin Trudeau.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Is going to go down. He's somebody Donald Trump isn't like.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Of course, a lot of the attention in Canada, even
on the Canadian Broadcasting Company, is on what's happening in
the US elections, and people ask me, well, is Trump
gonna win? And I kind of respond to them this way,
it all comes down to African American men, and they're like,
what I said, Well, if Kamala Harris performs with black
(35:16):
voters the way Barack Obama performed, donald Trump cannot win.
But if Donald Trump can either convince a portion not
even twenty percent of Black men to vote for him,
or even stay home, then the scenario reverses and Donald
Trump will emerge victorious. It's a simple math. One of
(35:38):
the things that I point out to people is Donald
Trump actually has never gotten as many votes as Mitt
Romney did in twenty twelve as a Republican, as anybody,
he has not achieved the same number of votes. But
what happened was in twenty sixteen he outperformed Hillary Clinton,
who saw the Black vote collapse, Joe Biden, who saw
(36:01):
an improvement in the African American vote enough to push
him over the top barely in a few key states,
particularly Pennsylvania and Georgia. And if there's a path to
the election of Kamala Harris, she said it this week,
it is the state of Georgia, which, after all, Joe
Biden only won by one by eleven thousand, seven hundred
(36:27):
and seventy nine votes in twenty twenty. So the question
is what happens in both candidates. Both campaigns have been
in Georgia. The Harris campaign has opened twenty four field
offices and one hundred and seventy coordinated staff with twenty
five hundred volunteers, is taking the state very seriously. Trump
is recognizing he doesn't have that kind of operation in
Georgia that he has to.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
He and JD.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
Vance are going down to speak in the same arena
which Kamala Harris spoke this week, And it all comes
down to African American voters and suburban women.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Suburban women may turn out for howr as it stands.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
I know you don't agree with this, but over and over,
the abortion issue is impacting the votes in various areas,
but really it boils down to African American men. African
American women consistently support Harris. There is every poll, everything,
and they have not left the Democratic coalition for Biden
all this, but black men have been in this position
(37:22):
that they kind of some of them kind of like Trump.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
So she's been fighting back.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
Melissa the Stallion spoke for her, and we're going to
see where African American turnout really plays in this election.
It should be close and it will be the king maker.
And if Trump can succeed in his strategy to get
even a small percentage of Black voters but larger than
Republicans who had say, fifteen to twenty percent behind him,
(37:49):
which is not undoable. Republicans usually get even with Obama
got five to six. If that can happen, he's the
next president. If it doesn't, then what happens is very simply,
Georgia and Pennsylvania remain in the Democratic column and Donald
Trump loses for the second time, and we will get
President Kamala Harris. At the beginning of twenty twenty five,
(38:13):
your thoughts.
Speaker 2 (38:14):
Had, yes, Chrisph. Once again, you've got me thinking, and
I do have some thoughts on this as far as
how she's going to win the African American vote, she
thinks she's just going to walk in because remember she
got this position, this candidacy without one vote. It's amazing
how she learned how to sleep her way to the
top and never win elections. Think of that, folks, She's
(38:36):
she's a real bad person, Okay. And the more the
everybody discovers that, the more in populace she's going to become,
and including with the black vote. You know, they're getting
smarter and smart and realizing just because somebody as a
Democrat or Black, doesn't mean that person as their friend
is really going to help them. You know, we white
folks understand that, right. I mean, I could think all
(38:59):
kinds of white folks I can just tear apart, and
I don't care if they're white. So what, I'm not
going to vote for them just because they're white. I mean,
I know many black people. I would vote for them
way before i'd vote for the white person, because the
black people are more capable, more honorable, decent, good. Of
course they're all constitution conservatives. Yeah, let's think a little
bit about old miss Kamala and her affections and her
(39:21):
connections to the black vote. And remember, like I said earlier,
she's not black. She's only a small percentage of hers black,
maybe like I don't know, sixteen, I mean one sixteenth
black something like that. Yeah, let's look at old miss
lock up your brother Kamala, which many politicians and preachers,
(39:41):
black preachers across the country are saying now that hue
and cry is going far and right throughout the Black
community right now. The one who is the fail prosecutor
who loosed many, many hardened criminals loose back into their
African American neighborhoods to create more tragedy, more murders, more rapes,
(40:02):
et cetera. She turned them loose in San Francisco. She
is anti police. And believe me, most Black people want
police because they're they're living in heavy crime areas. They
know they need the police. Also, what about her failed
position as the quote borders are of America. That's another
(40:27):
thing Black folks don't like. They don't like all these
illegals pouring in. They're taking their jobs from them, their competition.
They're they're building a new minority that can out vote
the black minority. So no, they don't like her. Failed
her total I mean, it's a total disaster and failure
at our southern border. Folks, No, Kamala Harris is a failure.
(40:48):
And the more the black people see that and learn it,
I promise you they're not going to be voting for her.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
This could be one of the greatest disasters that Democrat
parties ever which they've ever come up, unless they're planning
to steal the election again. You know, if that's what
if that's what they're thinking, and that's what the real
plan is. They don't care what people think about. Come on,
she'll be the next president if they can get away
with stealing the election again. So folks, hang on to
your seats, and if you have anything about it, try
(41:14):
to make sure the dead don't rise this November and
vote for the Democrat Party. We gotta we gotta fight that.
We got to keep them in their grave so they
can't rise again and vote. That's one of the biggest
ways Democrats get votes, by the way, and they've done
it for you for decades now. I remember as a
little kid, I would hear the Democrat Party here in
New Orleans bragging about how they stole an election. How
many dead people voted. They were proud of that, They
were proud of it. Folks. Well, folks, it is time
(41:37):
for us to take a break as we get ready
for our final section. And I will see you on
the other side with some great history lessons, a gospel
message that shopping by by patriotic moment is right around
the corner for your folks. So we'll see you in
just right after this break. And thank you.
Speaker 5 (41:58):
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 areas. No one should be
stuck in addiction. The New Orleans Mission is a stepping
stone out of that life of destruction and into a

Speaker 2 (42:45):
Well, folks are back and you are listening to the
Founders show the voice of the Founding fathers, and it
is now time for us to go into our chaplain Bob,
patriotic moment. We just take a brief moment to remind
you of the biblical foundations of our country, our Judeo
Christian jurisprudence. And today I like to talk about one
of my favorites, and his name is Richard Allen. He
was a preacher, Reverend Richard Allen. He was an African
(43:08):
American born in Philadelphia to slavery. He and his parents,
his family. They were all slaves to a Philadelphia owner.
He was later sold in Delaware to in Dover, Delaware,
to a new master named Stokely Sturgis. During that time
(43:29):
he was allowed to attend Methodist religious meetings. We learned
to read. At the age of seventeen, he was converted.
After a long agonizing struggle over the destiny of his
soul and his sinful condition, he found Jesus and was
born again gloriously so and he wanted to prove that
Christiana did not make slaves lazy or slothful, and that
(43:52):
it actually made them better workers. But along the way
his master began to hear from these Methodist preachers and
some of the Baptists that slavery was one of the
worst sum of all villainies, and that on the day
of judgment. Slave owners will be weighed in the balances
and found wanting from that, he converted the master of
(44:14):
mister Sturgis Any made arrangements for Richard to become free.
Richard Allen became a licensing ex sort in seventeen eighty three.
He's out preaching in Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland,
walking to all these places and many times wearing his
feet out with heavily loaded with blisters. But he loved
the Lord and wanted to get the Gospel to his
lost brothers. He became a founder of and great preacher
(44:38):
at Saint George's Methodist Episcopal Church, and he was, in
fact it was at church where doctor Benjamin rushed from
New England and George Washington contributed to that church financially
to help build it. In eighteen sixty he founded a
brand new denomination called the African Methodist Episcopal Church, first
(45:00):
African American nomination organized in the United States, and he
was helped build and create the Mother Church in Philadelphia
known as Mother Bethel Ame Church. The initials fart is
American Methodist, African American Methodist, the Pitscopal Church. He licensed
(45:21):
one of the first female preacher named Jerina Lee in America.
In eighteen thirty one, that church had grown to over
ten thousand members, and the Ame Church today has over
three million. The motto of the Ame Church is God,
our Father, Christ, our Redeemer, the Holy Spirit, our comforter, humankind,
(45:42):
our family. You know his motto and his statement of
his life. Near the end of his life in his autobiographer,
he left us with this message, this land, which we
have watered with our tears and our blood is now
our mother free. And we're well satisfied to stay where
wisdom of bounds and the Gospel is free. Folks. Richard
(46:07):
Allen was a remarkable man, a true man of God
and a man that had a huge influence on the
biblical foundations of our country. Our Judeo Christian jurisprudence, as
you can see. But folks, what about you. It's a
gospel free for you, as Richard Allen said. Reverend Richard
Allen said, well, let's take a look at that as
we now go into our chaplain, Bye bye gospel moment.
(46:27):
You know, the Bible says we have been saved by grace.
The word grace means a gift, and gifts are free.
You don't pay for a gift. If you do, it's
not free. It has to be free. It has to
be something you didn't deserve. It's just a gift of
something that out of the kindness and goodness of someone's heart,
their love, or their their goodness, gave you something good.
(46:49):
That's called a gift. It could be all kinds of things.
Think of it. You've gotten gifts before, and they're all free.
You don't pay for them. Some hand you give you,
no reach in your pocket to pay, and whatever you
think the gift is worth, No, you take it for free.
It's free. And that's how God has given us everlasting life,
given us heaven, and saved us from a burning hell. Folks,
(47:09):
the scripture says again in Ephesians two eight and nine,
for we have been saved by grace. Remember free gift.
We've been saved by grace through faith. When you get
a gift, you gotta take it. It doesn't just fall
in your life. You got to reach out and grab it.
Right well, you don't physically grab the grace of God.
You have to It takes place in your heart and
your mind. You grab it with what's called faith. So
(47:31):
we've been saved by grace through faith. I mean, as
you believe it's true for you. We've been saved by
grace through faith. And even that is not of ourselves.
It is a gift of God, not of works, lest
any man should boast you. See, there's no good work
you could ever do to get yourself into heaven. I
don't care how good a person you are. I don't
care how many good things you do. You know, you
go to church, you do special religious prayers and ceremonies,
(47:55):
You get baptized so many times. The tadpoles have you
a social Security number, you give generously to the church,
you go do it, or knocking on doors, hanging out
gospel tracks. Who knows what you might be doing. Yeah,
you have a great radio show that preaches a gospel.
It doesn't matter, folks, None of that will get you
into heaven, because those are all your good works. You
turn from your sins, you repent of your sins. All
(48:16):
these things, those are all human effort, human works. And
they don't count the scriptures. All of your righteous all
your great human works, all of your righteousness are as
filthy rags. God's perfect. We're not no matter how good
we are, it just doesn't measure up to His perfection.
So forget it. And a split second you forget it
and you give up on it, and you realize you
cannot save yourself. You're hopelessly and helplessly lost, destined to
(48:38):
a burning hell. When you come to that point in
your life, you have just repented. That's what repentance is.
It's not a work, it is a belief. So you see,
saving faith is like a coin, a two sided coin.
On one side, you believe you can't save yourself, so
you're free to believe on the other side of the
coin that only Jesus can save you, did save you
(48:58):
and will save you, as he died for all of
your sins. That's called the gospel. He died for all
of your sins, was buried and rose from the dead
to win for you his precious free gift of resurrection,
ever lasting life. You know the scripture says, a split second,
you believe that you've just been born again, you become
God's child forever. Born again means that your dead and
dying spirit has now become fully alive and you can
(49:20):
never go to hell because only the living are in heaven.
The people in Hell are literally the walking dead, like zombies.
They have existence, they have memories, but they have no
real life. They have they can, they're conscious, they know
what's going on, and yet they're destined to roam the
(49:41):
portals of a burning, horrible septic tank Hell forever and
you never get out of it. You know, God made
Hell for all the bad things in this world. The
Bible says, He's gonna throw all sin, andt A's gonna
throw all death, and al I's gonna throw all devils
in all. That's what he kind of ended it with that.
But then you know, later on something was added. The
scripture says Hell as being enlarged. You know why it's
(50:02):
being enlarged because people who reject Jesus and the Gospel.
The scripture says, the gospel is the power of God
into salvation. The word gospel just means good news. And
the scripture says, for I declare to you the gospel
that Jesus died for all of our sins, was buried
and rose from the dead. According to the scripture, folks,
that's what you gotta believe and nothing else. You got
(50:22):
to put faith alone and Cristlone. You gotta believe. You
can't save yourself. You see, you just repent it, and
as soon as you do, God moves on you like lightning,
like white on rice, to let you know that only
Jesus can get you into heaven. Only Jesus has the
keys for heaven. You've got to trust him. You've got
to believe in him that he did die for all
your sins, was buried and roast in the dead. Folks,
(50:44):
don't wait till it's too late. Don't wait till it's
to wait, like the old country preacher said, and like
the scripture says, now today is a day of salvation. Folks.
If you've never done this before, do it now. Believe
that Jesus is the only way. Next thing, folks on
as we close its show, is to go in and
tell you about the end of this world. It's coming
to an end, and it's coming soon. The scripture gives
(51:06):
us all the signs are over two hundred prophecies about Jesus,
says second coming. There they are over one hundred about
his first coming. Does that mean the second coming was
more important? Well, I don't know about that, but I
guarantee you it's extremely important. If there are that many passages,
and do you know they have just about all come
true now and I'm talking about they're all happening even
right now. Jesus said, when you see all of these
(51:26):
things happening, and is all of that discourse about end
times about when he would come back, he said, when
you see all these things happening, you know, coincidentally, all
at the same time, When you see him all happening
at the same time, then I'm at the door and
he says, no man knows the day of the hour,
but you will know the general time. You will know
the season. Folks. We're in that general season, and that
means he's coming really really soon. And when he comes,
(51:49):
it's going to be bad. The scripture says that there's
going to be a great evil political movement that's going
to reach the whole world. It's going to be led
by a man named the anti crime, the very epitome
of the ultimate and evil, like Adolf Hitler, but many
times worse. Folks, That day is upon us right now.
Look at what the political leadership is doing all around
(52:11):
the world. Look at what's happening in our country right now,
and it says that this great leader is going he's
going to explode on the scenes, and he's going to
do it through disasters and calamities, coming in claiming to
be our savior. Folks, have you ever heard that saying,
never let a disaster go unwated? I have. Have you
ever seen groups and political movements that create disasters that
didn't have to happen? You see, they're creating all this
(52:34):
chaos and mayhem and misery so then they can come
in and pretend they're going to save us. And that's
exactly what the Antichrist does. He's described of the ten
great horns of the End. Horns mean seats of power.
He's described as the little horn with eyes that means
he's got great intelligence and a big mouth that means
he's a big talker, folks were at that time. Look around,
(52:57):
you see any any people that are big, big, loud
mouthed talkers that can destroy this whole world. It's happening
right in front of us right now. Folks, Listen, the
only hope we're gonna have at that time is Jesus.
If you don't know him, you better get to know
him now. And like I said earlier, don't wait until
it's too late. Well, it's time for us to close.
We close with the mind Saint Martin singing a krill goodbye,
(53:19):
and God bless all out there.
Speaker 3 (53:27):
We call you, we goodbye.
Speaker 1 (53:33):
They think we just wasted the time. Put me in
all three seven. There's time for a creal goodbye.
