Louis Avallone starts the show sharing a proposed City Ordinance, being made by Shreveport City Councilman James Green, which would require very expensive, detailed videoing of every entrance to every business in Shreveport at all times when the business is open, and which would be made available to law endorsement upon request without a warrant.

Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Denise Arthur, say too much negativity all at once can do damage to your emotional and spiritual health. We cannot ignore what is happening, but we can control how much of it we must deal with every day. Sometimes it is important to just step away from conflict for awhile.
Stephen explains we all must run all political problems through the second sentence of the Declaration of Independence.

Unfortunately, too many in government do not understand that.
