In this powerful and emotionally charged episode of The Pete Santilli Show, Pete welcomes Pastor Tony Spell, the Louisiana church leader who defied pandemic shutdown orders and won a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case protecting religious freedom. Together, they discuss a new constitutional amendment in Louisiana (Amendment 2) that Pastor Spell warns is a direct attack on churches and non-profits, paving the way for church property taxation for the first time in U.S. history.Pastor Spell recounts his battle with the deep state, including surveillance, arrests, and government pressure for keeping his church open during the pandemic. He describes how the Supreme Court ruled in his favor, affirming that government cannot override the church’s constitutional rights—even during emergencies.The conversation centers around Louisiana's March 29th vote on Amendment 2, which would strip constitutional tax exemptions for churches and nonprofits, transferring authority to state legislators. Pastor Spell warns this is a “test run” for a nationwide push to financially crush religious institutions, calling it a “war on God” and on the U.S. Constitution.This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned with religious liberty, government overreach, and the fight to preserve constitutional protections for churches and nonprofits across America.
