HOUR ONE:

Author Tim Parrish shares his book. It is about Baton Rouge racism in the 50s and the 60s and Parrish's experience growing up in a staunch right wing Southern Baptist household. "Hearing about the love of Christ and forgiveness and coming home and hearing something very different about African Americans... it was confusing."

"I come back about every six months and it seems Baton Rouge is different every time," Parrish says. He describes the differences between his childhood Baton Rouge and how it is now.

"The North has all of the same issues as the South," Parrish says in terms of current segregation. "I think it's important for all of us to look inward," he continues, speaking of coming to terms with our own racism.

Attorney Mike Wolf will review the controversy over Hillary Clinton's emails when she was Secretary of State.

"Those who like her very much won't be deterred by this," Wolf says of Hillary Clinton. Wolf asserts that email should be private even for public officials. "Public officials should be able to get confidential advice."

The Clintons will soon celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary.

They discuss the release of the police report from the Ferguson shooting last year, which ruled the police officer not guilty of racial charges.

HOUR TWO:

Former Executive Counsel for the State Department of Revenue Jason Decuir remarks on Governor Jindal's budget proposal and the tax credits.

Decuir also comments on how the tax credits will or should affect the film industry in Louisiana. Particularly, he discusses Duck Dynasty. "At what point have you built a sustainable industry in Louisiana that people won't pack their bags when you begin to cut programs," Decuir says.

"It's difficult to introduce tax reform when you're in the midst of trying to plug the budget."

Decuir asserts that he will not be running for Mayor next year.

HOUR ONE:

State Representative Jerome Dee Richard is working to strip the governor's line out of veto. "Other states do it," Richard says, "call for automatic veto session. It would mainly be for bills that pass with 2/3 vote."

He comments on the budget proposal by Governor Jindal. He asserts, "We have a spending issue not a revenue issue."

Richard is an independent from Thibodaux, Louisiana. They discuss a bill the representative introduced last year to allow voters to be identified as independent.

He continues commenting on the effects of the budget cuts on higher education.

"That's something I can't be supportive of," Richard says of the inventory tax.

HOUR TWO:

Rabbi Barry Weinstein joins the show to comment on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's recent speech on Iran. "I think our good President Obama is doing his best to minimize what could have been one of the most important statements about Iran." Jim comments, "I think he <Prime Minister Netanyahu> speaks better English than most members of Congress."

They discuss Nancy Pelosi's reaction to the speech.

"They do not particularly like each other, but I think Netanyahu gives important respect to the President," Weinstein comments. 72% of the people in Israel believe President Obama will not limit nuclear arms in Iran. "There is an existential threat to the viability of Israel should Iran become nuclear," Weinstein affirms. Israel would fit four times in the state of Louisiana.

"Israel is, in many respects, a theocracy," Rabbi Weinstein says in response to the question of separation of church and state in Israel. "One has to hope that there will eventually be peace in all the countries in the Middle East," Weinstein comments, citing that Israel's anthem means 'hope'.

Weinstein says that he thinks Prime Minister Netanyahu has a "pretty good shot" at reelection. "I think winning or losing, his speech in Congress will be faulted or credited.. but no doubt it will go down in history as one of the major moments in Israel."

A caller questions the motives of Netanyahu's visit to the United States. "My belief is, bottom line, he did it as a sincere man to stand up for Israel."
