Triggered - Donald Trump Jr - We're Going to Defeat Big Tech Censorship: Louisiana AG and Gov Candidate Jeff Landry on his Historic Legal Battle | TRIGGERED Ep.50

00:00:00.000 you you

00:05:24.000 you good evening and welcome to another awesome episode of

00:05:52.000 triggered Thanks for tuning in and today I'm excited because we're joined by my good buddy Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry.

00:06:01.000 Attorney General Landry is the leading candidate in this year's gubernatorial election in Louisiana.

00:06:07.000 He's endorsed by President Trump.

00:06:09.000 He's been a MAGA supporter since day one and he's a great Conservative and America First warrior.

00:06:15.000 Attorney General Landry also got a huge, with a capital Y, win in his state's lawsuit against the Biden administration on big tech government censorship and collusion.

00:06:30.000 You're going to want to hear about this one because these are the things we always talk about.

00:06:34.000 Our AGs need to be fighting.

00:06:36.000 Conservative attorney generals need to be going after the insanity of the radical left. 0.94

00:06:42.000 They got to be doing it. And unlike so many who just sort of sit there and they're worried about what the left is going to say, AG Landry actually did it.

00:06:51.000 He took it on.

00:06:54.000 And he won. It's a really big deal.

00:06:56.000 We've got to make sure we understand the details of that, so we'll get into all of that.

00:07:01.000 But this is a huge win for freedom of speech, for anti-censorship, for not allowing government to collude with big tech to suppress the truth, the real news, and what you guys would all want to know.

00:07:17.000 Before we get to Jeff, make sure you like, subscribe to this channel, share these videos, guys, because we know we're not getting any help from Big Tech.

00:07:26.000 Maybe now the Biden administration won't be able to just pick up the phone and call them directly, but I imagine Big Tech isn't just going to become net neutral all of a sudden.

00:07:36.000 We have to keep going strong, and we can't do that without your help.

00:07:39.000 So like, share, and I also, again, before we get to General Landry, I want to thank our sponsors for having the guts to To support a show like this, okay?

00:08:09.000 Homes are... I don't know how people are going to afford to live in their homes.

00:08:13.000 It's getting insane, and it doesn't look like it's slowing down.

00:08:16.000 So when millions of Americans watched their retirement savings disappear in 2008, many weren't prepared.

00:10:34.000 With that, guys, we're going to go to my friend, Jeff Landry.

00:10:40.000 All right, guys. Welcome back.

00:10:42.000 And I'm here with my good buddy, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry.

00:10:47.000 Jeff is, like I said, sort of in the intro, one of the guys that's actually doing all the things we want our Republican attorney generals doing.

00:10:57.000 He's not just talking to a small group of conservatives, telling them what they want to hear, but then doing nothing.

00:11:02.000 And he's one of the leaders of this major censorship lawsuit that we spoke about last week, where, well, I'll let him take us through it.

00:11:11.000 So, Attorney General Landry, great to have you with us.

00:11:15.000 Walk us through what the collusion was between the Biden administration and the big tech companies, and what about the ruling and the status of what's going on that we can learn from?

00:11:28.000 Because this seems like a really big one.

00:11:30.000 It is. Look, I have said all along since last year that this case is probably one of the most important cases, biggest First Amendment cases, certainly in modern times.

00:11:44.000 And so let me just spend just a quick minute kind of walking everyone who's watching and listening to this through why this case is important and why we took this case on.

00:11:57.000 So we know from decades upon decades of Fourth Amendment Supreme Court cases that the government cannot go out and coerce or collude or partner with a private citizen or a company to basically get information to, like, say, search your home, right?

00:12:17.000 So Fourth Amendment. If the government doesn't have probable cause to get a search warrant, they can't go get your neighbor to go into your house and try to rifle through your stuff and find something and bring it back to the government.

00:12:30.000 That would be an illegal search.

00:12:32.000 It'd be a violation of the Fourth Amendment because that neighbor then becomes a government actor. 1.00

00:12:37.000 All right. So we have all these cases.

00:12:39.000 So if it's applicable for the Fourth Amendment, It should work for the first. 0.91

00:12:45.000 And that was our legal theory because we knew that throughout the pandemic and throughout the election cycle in 2020, that many conservative voices were basically muzzled where the volume was turned down on their pages.

00:13:00.000 They were shadow banned.

00:13:01.000 I don't know if you know any of them.

00:13:03.000 Yeah, I may know someone like that.

00:13:05.000 I may be related to a few others.

00:13:08.000 I know it happened to me big time.

00:13:10.000 And, you know, I was one of the first people that would, and honestly, even before 2020, but like even once we got involved in politics, I go, you know, hey, I'm being shadowbanned.

00:13:19.000 How can you say that?

00:13:21.000 I was like, I was getting 5,000 retweets a post yesterday.

00:13:23.000 Tomorrow, you know, nothing changed other than now I'm being political.

00:13:27.000 Now I'm getting four. They're like, well, 4,000, that's not that big a change.

00:13:30.000 I go, no, no, no. Four, like four single digits.

00:13:35.000 So I saw what was happening.

00:13:37.000 There was no way for me to prove it.

00:13:38.000 I don't have access to the algorithm, but it was clearly happening.

00:13:42.000 Right. And so what we found, what our theory was, was that the government was actually involved in basically going to the social platforms, media platforms, and saying, hey, we don't like this particular post.

00:13:57.000 We don't like what Don Jr.

00:13:58.000 says here or Tucker Carlson or Robert Kennedy Jr.

00:14:01.000 or whoever.

00:14:02.000 We don't like what Dr.

00:14:05.000 Robert Malone and them are saying.

00:14:06.000 And so we want you to throttle them back.

00:14:08.000 We want you to take them off of basically social media.

00:14:12.000 Maybe place some people in Facebook jail or take their accounts away.

00:14:17.000 When the government does that, when the government then coerces big tech to do that, and then big tech does it, that's a First Amendment violation.

00:14:28.000 And so we filed this case.

00:14:30.000 I'll bring you back again. We filed this case back in like May or June of last year.

00:14:34.000 And a lot of people laughed at us.

00:14:36.000 Mainstream media, oh, this is going nowhere.

00:14:38.000 And then the judge, great judge, He started giving us the ability to do discovery.

00:14:45.000 And then we started getting emails.

00:14:47.000 And then we started doing depositions.

00:14:49.000 Remember, we deposed Dr. Anthony Fauci.

00:14:51.000 We deposed Elvis Chan and the FBI. And I mean, it was a treasure trove, Don.

00:14:57.000 I mean, the things that we found, like we found like Robert Flattery.

00:15:02.000 White House IT guy working directly for the President of the United States, President Joe Biden, saying, listen, I thought you guys were going to get Tucker off the air or you're going to throw that back or Robert Kennedy Jr.'s stuff has to be taken down.

00:15:16.000 Like, I mean, email threads of back and forth discussions with Facebook and Twitter about censoring American citizens.

00:15:28.000 Then we start putting together, let's just talk about the Hunter Biden laptop.

00:15:33.000 Yeah, I was going to say, that's obviously the other big one, right?

00:15:36.000 You had everything with COVID. You have everything with masks.

00:15:38.000 You have everything with just the general censorship of conservative.

00:15:41.000 But, I mean, that was direct election interference as far as I'm concerned.

00:15:45.000 I mean, when you look at the statistic, I think it's like 17% of Democrats said that had they known anything about it, they wouldn't have voted for Joe Biden.

00:15:53.000 Like, that's game over right there.

00:15:55.000 Like, so for the people that complain a lot about election interference, they're awfully silent about the fact that they were actually doing it themselves.

00:16:03.000 Well, let me tell you, if I was you, I would get this 154-page opinion.

00:16:10.000 I can flag the pages for you because Judge Doty goes through that extremely carefully and very articulately.

00:16:19.000 He articulates...

00:16:20.000 Exactly. What the FBI knew when they had the laptop, they refused to tell the social platforms that this was not Russian disinformation or Russian interference, and basically spells out for you that guess what?

00:16:35.000 They tilted the election.

00:16:37.000 Because look, The FBI had the laptop, which we know now, in their possession.

00:16:42.000 They are communicating with Facebook and Twitter and telling them, look, you have to look for a Russia data dump, a Russian interference.

00:16:50.000 You have to be on guard.

00:16:52.000 And then the New York Post publishes the Hunter Biden laptop story.

00:16:55.000 And what is the first thing the social platforms do?

00:16:58.000 They start suppressing it.

00:17:00.000 They start debunking it.

00:17:03.000 And the FBI, don't you think the FBI had the responsibility?

00:17:08.000 To tell the American people, certainly to tell the platforms, hey...

00:17:12.000 Well, if we're naive enough to believe that they're good actors, yes.

00:17:16.000 I mean, if they're truly law enforcement and trying to act impartially, the answer is yes.

00:17:21.000 But I don't know that they've done anything, not a thing that I've seen in the last five or six years, maybe longer since we've gotten into politics, to actually...

00:17:32.000 Earn that trust and that respect, the reputation that perhaps they used to have.

00:17:37.000 I think, frankly, they've done the opposite.

00:17:39.000 I think they've functioned as one of the worst state actors perhaps we'd ever seen.

00:17:44.000 I think they're making Mao, Stalin, those people, they're making them blush because they're doing it.

00:17:51.000 At least those guys didn't pretend to be objective.

00:17:54.000 These guys are pretending to be objective while functioning as a wing of the other side.

00:18:01.000 Well, you know, the interesting part is the difference between America and, say, Russia or Germany or China, okay, when those dictators We're basically terrorizing their citizens.

00:18:13.000 The one difference, the major difference between us and them was that they didn't have a First Amendment right, but we do.

00:18:21.000 That First Amendment is what is supposed to guard us from exactly that type of conduct because free speech is not supposed to have an approval process, right?

00:18:32.000 And so what we found inside of this case and what the judge found, and he lays out an opinion— Or those exact same things.

00:18:42.000 And he spells it out. Look, they had possession of the laptop.

00:18:45.000 They did not notify the social media platforms.

00:18:47.000 They did the opposite. He goes to the gain of function in Dr.

00:18:51.000 Fauci, where they throttled back epidemiologists and virologists who were questioning the origins of COVID-19.

00:19:00.000 I mean, don't the American people have a right to have a debate as to where the origins of the virus is?

00:19:08.000 In what universe was the Wuhan lab leak theory not the most plausible answer?

00:19:15.000 You know, of course it came from there.

00:19:16.000 Like, no, no, no, it came from six feet outside of the lab that studies the exact virus in question.

00:19:23.000 Obviously nothing happened, and if you believe something happened, and even if you ask the question when it's clearly the most plausible answer, You were thrown out of academia.

00:19:31.000 You were thrown out of medicine.

00:19:33.000 Anthony Fauci would cut off your funds if you were doing other research.

00:19:37.000 So they got people to go against the science and just fall in line with whatever they were told, even if it made no sense whatsoever.

00:19:45.000 And you know what the judge calls that?

00:19:47.000 In the opinion, he calls that viewpoint discrimination.

00:19:52.000 Think about that for a second.

00:19:53.000 That's basically saying that your viewpoint It should be muzzled.

00:19:59.000 We're going to control exactly what people say, hear, and understand.

00:20:06.000 And that's problematic. Of course, it's completely un-American. 0.97

00:20:09.000 And that's the kind of conduct that went on in this case.

00:20:12.000 I mean, it goes all the way through it.

00:20:13.000 It's unbelievable. And of course, here's the lovely part.

00:20:16.000 The mainstream media, oh my word, their hair is on fire.

00:20:20.000 This case is a threat to national security.

00:20:26.000 The government's not going to be able to handle pandemics.

00:20:29.000 Well, I think it tells you everything you need to know about the left's love of censorship.

00:20:35.000 I have it right here. You know, the left has been freaking out.

00:20:37.000 They claim disinformation will run rampant.

00:20:41.000 It's like, wait, wait, what disinformation?

00:20:43.000 You mean like that maybe masks aren't effective?

00:20:46.000 Like a doctor debating that when, oh, like so many of the conspiracy theories, again, Wuhan lab leak, masks, efficacy of, you know, everything.

00:20:57.000 The conspiracy theorists, All were right.

00:21:01.000 They all were right.

00:21:03.000 It's the same media that was running around for five years telling us about Russia, Russia, Russia, and how Trump was colluding.

00:21:10.000 Well, that's a lie.

00:21:11.000 But if you questioned it at the time, you were spreading misinformation because liars like Adam Schiff would get up there.

00:21:17.000 I've seen the evidence.

00:21:19.000 Oh, I've seen the evidence.

00:21:20.000 It works for our narrative. 0.78

00:21:22.000 Therefore, as ridiculous as it sounds, It's true. 0.73

00:21:26.000 And we're just going to run with it. 0.93

00:21:28.000 So you're right. I like the viewpoint because you're not even...

00:21:31.000 I see this all the time when I get fact-checked on Instagram or Facebook.

00:21:35.000 It's like... They're fact-checking me having an opinion, which is, I believe X, Y, Z. I'm not saying it happened.

00:21:42.000 I believe, based on everything I've seen, and we don't know a direct answer, but the fact-checkers know some credible source says that.

00:21:50.000 But I go, but that's not definitive.

00:21:52.000 Just because they say it doesn't mean it's true.

00:21:54.000 We've seen that time and time again, and so...

00:21:57.000 You know, they're creating innuendo around what fact is.

00:22:00.000 They're fact-checking opinion.

00:22:03.000 So I liked what you said, which is, like, even fact-checking the notion of discourse, because that's different than fact-checking a fact, that we can all object, you know, one plus one is two.

00:22:15.000 Fine. You can fact check that.

00:22:18.000 But, hey, I think that maybe it came from the lab.

00:22:21.000 You haven't released anything contrary to that.

00:22:24.000 Just because Fauci says it doesn't mean it's gospel.

00:22:28.000 I saw his emails.

00:22:29.000 His emails to his colleagues said one thing, and his words to the American public when, you know, he...

00:22:37.000 Turned himself into like a celebutante on TV and he loved every second of it.

00:22:42.000 We're totally the opposite.

00:22:44.000 So which one was true? Because the two opposites can't be true in the same period of time.

00:22:48.000 And yet he controlled the narrative and the gospel and contradicted himself along the way.

00:22:56.000 And he was deceitful the entire time.

00:22:58.000 He was deceitful to then, your dad, the president.

00:23:01.000 He was deceitful to the American public.

00:23:03.000 He was trying to hide the gain-of-function trail of money that they were colluding.

00:23:08.000 I mean, not colluding, they were basically working with the Chinese.

00:23:11.000 So our government was out there spending American tax dollars in China to basically do research on things that are going to harm Americans.

00:23:22.000 That's one of the big things he was trying to hide.

00:23:24.000 And the genie ain't come out the bottle.

00:23:27.000 Right? But he lied to Congress.

00:23:29.000 Didn't he say that it wasn't happening? 1.00

00:23:30.000 I mean, he told the public it wasn't happening, and then of course it was, because we all knew it was, because that's the kind of scumbag that he is. 0.98

00:23:37.000 But because, again, he was carrying the, you know, it's like Brennan and Strzok. 0.98

00:23:42.000 You know, you can lie to the FBI. You can lie to the American people.

00:23:45.000 You can lie to Congress. As long as you're doing their bidding, nothing's going to happen.

00:23:49.000 Just like Hunter, right?

00:23:50.000 You can, yeah, sure.

00:23:52.000 Like, you know, where they're...

00:23:53.000 They can't find out who had the Coke in the White House.

00:23:56.000 I wonder, you know, of course they're never going to find it.

00:23:59.000 They're doing that bidding. Well, I'm glad you went down there because, look, that's why this case is so important.

00:24:05.000 I mean, don't you think so?

00:24:07.000 Let's say this case had not come about.

00:24:09.000 Let's say we had not filed this case.

00:24:13.000 There would be backdoor channels of information going between the White House and social media.

00:24:21.000 Their ability to basically hide the fact that there was cocaine found in the White House would be greater today had this case not been filed, had this judge not enjoined it.

00:24:32.000 I mean, to what limit does the government get to hide things from the American people about their government and about the people who operate inside of their government?

00:24:41.000 I mean, what do you think would have happened if they'd have found cocaine in the White House when your dad was there?

00:24:47.000 Jeff, just so we understand, I saw a lot of people last week saying that it was me.

00:24:58.000 I haven't been in the White House in three years.

00:25:00.000 They were out there saying that it was me.

00:25:02.000 Not the guy that's on video the same week, really, smoking crack, going 170 miles an hour in a car.

00:25:09.000 Not the guy that's repeatedly on video doing pretty serious illicit drugs.

00:25:16.000 It was me.

00:25:17.000 So yeah, I have a feeling if it was the Trump White House and Don Jr.

00:25:21.000 happened to be anywhere near the White House or within three or four months of the White House, there would be no...

00:25:28.000 Do you think maybe it could have been done?

00:25:30.000 It would have been me. Because obviously that's who it would have been in the eyes of the media.

00:25:34.000 Just like, of course it was Hunter.

00:25:35.000 You think it was? It was the White House medical staff bringing cocaine?

00:25:38.000 I doubt it. They all get tested.

00:25:40.000 Everyone else goes through serious screenings.

00:25:43.000 Guys that are protectees of the United States Secret Service, of which Hunter is one, don't go through the same level of screening.

00:25:48.000 Of course he could do it. And you have the minor issue of he's a known person.

00:25:56.000 I mean, look, all you got to do is take a look at what's in the laptop.

00:26:02.000 I mean, there's a very detailed report that's out there on the internet.

00:26:05.000 I forgot the name of the fella who did the Marco Polo report.

00:26:12.000 That just basically lays everything out.

00:26:14.000 But again, all of that is information that the American public has a right to know.

00:26:19.000 Listen, in our private capacity, you as a private citizen, the things that you do, yeah, you've got an expectation of privacy.

00:26:29.000 However, people like me who put themselves out, who right now I'm running for governor, I don't have that same expectation of privacy.

00:26:38.000 And as the Attorney General, Then the public has a right to say, well, you know what, I want to be able to judge the things that he's doing as his official capacity or not.

00:26:48.000 And that's the importance of this.

00:26:51.000 That's why the laptop, in this particular case, in my opinion, was so important.

00:26:55.000 That's why the things that Fauci did to hide the origins of COVID-19 are so important.

00:27:01.000 It's why, when you go out there, I mean, let's take Tucker Carlson.

00:27:05.000 Let's take the issue. I mean, we have emails.

00:27:09.000 From the White House to social media companies saying, hey, I thought y'all were going to do something about Tucker's show.

00:27:16.000 Because I don't remember what the topic was.

00:27:19.000 It was something about COVID-19.

00:27:20.000 Maybe it was the vaccines. Maybe it was the mask mandates.

00:27:23.000 I don't remember. Maybe it was all of them because they were all wrong.

00:27:28.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:27:30.000 I don't know. Yeah.

00:27:34.000 Yeah, and they throttled him.

00:27:35.000 I mean, he's a journalist, for Pete's sake.

00:27:38.000 To me, that's almost like a double violation.

00:27:40.000 Freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

00:27:43.000 You know, again, those are things...

00:27:44.000 And the greatness about this case is it's just in its emphasis to angels.

00:27:49.000 Talk about that.

00:27:50.000 What are the next steps?

00:27:51.000 Because, first of all, it's an injunction, right?

00:27:53.000 So it's not necessarily decided law.

00:27:55.000 It's a pause. So will the injunction hold?

00:27:58.000 Now, I mean, it seems like a no-brainer, but, you know, the other side has this thing where they...

00:28:02.000 You know, they'll get it in front of an appeals judge, and then they'll sort of, you know, they'll keep trying to put it in front of someone until they find a leftist who doesn't exactly believe in the Constitution, you know, who will then say, oh, it's, you know, while it may be obviously a free speech issue, that doesn't matter. We're going to rule against it.

00:28:20.000 So, you know, talk about that, because I think it has and could have an incredible effect on 2024.

00:28:27.000 Not having it had, in my opinion, an incredible effect on 2020.

00:28:33.000 Again, on a Biden laptop, whatever it may be, just the general suppression of anything positive that Trump could have done, the suppression of any negative information about Joe Biden, as well as the artificial boosting, you know, of The incompetence that we see in the White House today to make him seem like he's a reasonable guy with a good record and yada, yada, yada, as opposed to what everyone knew, which was he's the dumbest senator that was currently in my lifetime occupying an office in the United States Senate.

00:29:02.000 So will the injunction hold?

00:29:05.000 And talk about what you said.

00:29:07.000 It's in the infancy. What does that mean?

00:29:09.000 How do we keep growing to grow the strength of this?

00:29:12.000 Because this to me seems...

00:29:14.000 Like, you know, it's literally the free speech issue of our time, because if it doesn't stand, if someone's able to do it with the weight, the power, the one-sidedness of big tech, I mean, this is everything.

00:29:29.000 This is. This is.

00:29:31.000 This is really the First Amendment on trial.

00:29:33.000 That's really what this case is about.

00:29:35.000 And so, you're right, we have a preliminary injunction that's in place.

00:29:38.000 The government is going to appeal that particular injunction.

00:29:43.000 I think that's going to go to the fifth circuit.

00:29:45.000 I like our chances.

00:29:47.000 I think that the judge did a great job of spelling out everything that he found

00:29:51.000 and the reasons why he ruled the way he did.

00:29:53.000 And then also he tailored the injunction to give the government plenty of runway,

00:29:59.000 plenty of opportunity to continue to put information out to the American people and to be on guard.

00:30:05.000 Look, nothing in this order.

00:30:07.000 So you go out there in the mainstream media and you read, this order is gonna prohibit the government

00:30:13.000 from protecting us or responding to a pandemic.

00:30:16.000 That is absolutely not true.

00:30:18.000 It's absolutely a lie. Nothing stops the government from going to Big Tech and saying, hey, we want to put this information out.

00:30:25.000 Hey, we think this information is important.

00:30:28.000 Hey, we hear that somebody's saying this.

00:30:30.000 This is the response to that.

00:30:32.000 There is no muzzling of the government in this order.

00:30:37.000 What this order does, it says that the government can't muzzle American citizens, which is what

00:30:43.000 they've been doing.

00:30:44.000 And so it'll go to the appeals court.

00:30:47.000 I hope that we'll get that.

00:30:49.000 They'll deny it.

00:30:50.000 They'll take it to the US Supreme Court.

00:30:52.000 It'll be interesting at that stage whether the Supreme Court takes it.

00:30:55.000 I don't think they will. I think they just denied a writ.

00:30:58.000 Injunction will stay in place.

00:30:59.000 And when we continue to litigate and move towards an actual trial, so we'll do more discovery, we'll ask for more emails, we'll really start prying into what exactly the conduct was.

00:31:11.000 And then we'll have a trial on it.

00:31:13.000 And then, of course, they'll appeal it.

00:31:16.000 And ultimately, I think this case ultimately ends up at the Supreme Court.

00:31:21.000 But you're right. It's important for the 2024 election cycle.

00:31:25.000 Why? Because it should have a chilling effect on the government interfering in Americans' rights to go to the poll and have the information necessary for them to make an informed decision.

00:31:37.000 And that's how it should be.

00:31:38.000 The fact that me and you are having this discussion is literally appalling. 0.96

00:31:43.000 It's actually ridiculous.

00:31:44.000 Now, again, and I also don't want to say, I love where it's going, but I have a feeling big tech is still going to do the bidding of the Democrat Party, almost irrespective.

00:31:55.000 This just makes it a little bit harder.

00:31:57.000 I mean, this is a step in the right direction.

00:32:01.000 It's a chip. You know, off the block of what's been going on forever with the Democrats and their ability to do that.

00:32:08.000 You know, they have it with the mainstream media.

00:32:10.000 They got it with big tech.

00:32:11.000 You know, those people would do the Democrat bidding, you know, probably irrespective of the collusion, you know, coming from it.

00:32:20.000 We're just making a little bit harder for them to do what they'd want to do or for them to get the talking points to them.

00:32:25.000 But I'm sure they'd figure out a way.

00:32:27.000 Well, we're trying to take one of the players off the field, right?

00:32:30.000 And that is like the federal government.

00:32:32.000 I mean, right now, we've got the federal government, the Democratic Party, okay, and big media, all right, and social media, so mainstream media, the Democratic Party, the federal government, okay, they all are marching to one drum, censoring Americans, suppressing their speech, Trying to do what they can to stifle debate in the public square, in the virtual public square.

00:33:00.000 And so what we're doing here is taking one of those players off the field.

00:33:04.000 The player that should not have ever been.

00:33:06.000 I think this is important.

00:33:07.000 That's the player that should have never appeared.

00:33:10.000 The federal government has no place in this.

00:33:12.000 This is completely a violation of the First Amendment.

00:33:15.000 And I'll tell you something else. The courts or Congress must act.

00:33:18.000 One of the things that I would hope to come out of this right now is for Congress to act and for Congress to put in place a statute that creates civil liability.

00:33:30.000 For government actors, for government employees who engage in violating Americans' free speech.

00:33:36.000 I love that.

00:33:38.000 So anyone watching, like, make sure you speak to your congressman about that.

00:33:43.000 Now, the problem is they'll probably die in the Senate, right?

00:33:45.000 So we got to win back the House, the Senate in 24 so that we can do it and we can actually effectuate that.

00:33:50.000 But you're right. I mean... If they continue to try to bypass that, there should be consequences to essentially stymieing Americans' free speech because, I mean, this is happening from the government.

00:34:01.000 It's happening one-sided. I have a feeling that if the roles were reversed, it was conservatives that controlled it, the Democrats would be trying to throw everyone in jail.

00:34:09.000 So I love that, and that's the next step of that progression.

00:34:13.000 They're not trying to throw everyone in jail.

00:34:16.000 Listen, I mean, they're trying to throw my father away for a little bit of time, 450 years.

00:34:21.000 You know, what's 450 years between friends?

00:34:24.000 It's only, you know, a little less than half a millennia.

00:34:28.000 So, you know, no big deal.

00:34:29.000 But yeah, no, I think that's a really important point.

00:34:31.000 So talk about, because you're running for governor, you're attorney general now.

00:34:37.000 How do you make sure that the guy that gets Sort of the keys to this lawsuit in the end, right, if you're running it now, is going to see it through the way that you do.

00:34:48.000 Well, look, we've got a great candidate that's running for attorney general.

00:34:52.000 You might have met her before, Liz Muro.

00:34:55.000 She's our solicitor general.

00:34:56.000 She's the one that built the team that brought this case with Missouri, with Eric Schmidt in Missouri.

00:35:05.000 But, you know, I'll tell you, you know, let's talk about that for a second.

00:35:08.000 Let's talk about the governor's race, if we could.

00:35:10.000 You know, for many people that are listening and watching out there who feel the frustration, who have anxiety about the direction of the country, who are frustrated with the swamp and with Congress, rightfully so, I believe that one of the ways That we fix the country is by fixing our states.

00:35:30.000 And when there's a critical mass of states that are pulling in the same direction, okay, and you do that through the governors, that you start to actually impact the overall policies of the country.

00:35:45.000 And that's one of the reasons I'm running, because I'm going to tell you, I love the job.

00:35:48.000 I mean, this is a great job. I've had so much fun, met so many great people, done some great work, like this case and others that we've taken before.

00:35:57.000 But, you know, Louisiana is in a tough spot in the South.

00:36:01.000 It's one of the only states in the South where more people are moving out than moving in.

00:36:05.000 It's a shame because you can go anywhere in the country and find a taste of Louisiana on any menu.

00:36:09.000 I mean, look, you don't have to come here, hunt, fish.

00:36:11.000 We've got great people. The culture is wonderful.

00:36:14.000 Everybody says, man, the people in Louisiana are just so great.

00:36:16.000 They deserve a government as good as the people of this state.

00:36:19.000 And that's what we're trying to give them. Yeah, no, I think that's, I mean, that's really well said because it's true.

00:36:23.000 I mean, I think we saw that certainly during COVID. You know, Trump left it to the states because as conservatives, that's what we believe, you know, the states' rights.

00:36:30.000 And you see what happened in the liberal states controlled by the left.

00:36:34.000 They took power. They wanted to keep it as long as they possibly could.

00:36:36.000 In the conservative states, it was the opposite.

00:36:39.000 And so, you know, the governors in many cases, for you as an individual, as a citizen, means much more, you know, than probably, you know, we need them all, but like then your congressman or your senator in terms of what you're seeing and living on a daily basis.

00:36:54.000 I mean, and you're right, I love Louisiana.

00:36:56.000 I go there, for those of you guys who don't know, like I've known Jeff for a while, he puts on a great It's a gator hunt.

00:37:02.000 People come in from all over the country.

00:37:04.000 I got a little trouble with my Secret Service detail a couple years ago the first time I went because someone bet me a couple bucks that I wouldn't jump in like the lily pads where we just pulled out like three 12-foot gators and go for a swim and I'm getting there undressed and they're like, what's going on?

00:37:19.000 And that one went a little bit viral because I was like, hey, you know, a bet is a bet.

00:37:23.000 We're going to do this. I don't think any of them were coming in to rescue me if I got bit, but it's an awesome time.

00:37:29.000 You know, I go there for sporting stuff.

00:37:31.000 I go there deer hunting. I go there duck hunting.

00:37:33.000 I go there gator hunting. The fishing's incredible.

00:37:35.000 I mean, it is an amazing state for that.

00:37:37.000 But I've also seen, like, the stats, not surprisingly, right, but in the big cities.

00:37:43.000 I think Louisiana has three cities in the top 10 most dangerous cities in the country.

00:37:49.000 So, you know, I mean, you do have a Democrat governor right now, but why is crime so out of control?

00:37:56.000 And what can you do to do that?

00:37:58.000 Because that spills out, right?

00:37:59.000 The crime there, things pass through the rest of the state to happen, whether it's drug traffic or whatever it may be.

00:38:05.000 Other people are affected by that crime in those cities, not just the residents of those cities who are getting crushed.

00:38:13.000 Well, I think, look, one of the reasons is we made some very damaging and systematic changes to our criminal justice system.

00:38:21.000 Whereby they just tried to empty our jails.

00:38:24.000 The goal in reforming the criminal justice system should always be how do you keep people from going to jail, not how you let people out of jail.

00:38:32.000 Okay, as a police officer, a sheriff's deputy, as attorney general for seven, almost eight years now prosecuting cases.

00:38:41.000 That's what I've seen. And so what we did was we really dismantled our criminal justice system.

00:38:47.000 We made it less transparent rather than more transparent.

00:38:51.000 We made it more confusing.

00:38:53.000 We packed on way more rights on the criminals back and less on the victims.

00:38:58.000 And we intend to right that particular ship.

00:39:01.000 You're right. We've got three cities.

00:39:03.000 I mean, think about it for a second. Louisiana has four and a half million people.

00:39:06.000 Three cities in the top ten most dangerous cities in the entire country.

00:39:10.000 And there's no excuse for that other than our criminal justice system.

00:39:14.000 And our ability to hold those accountable, to be able to go inside of those cities and say, okay, what exactly is wrong with it?

00:39:22.000 Is hindered as well because of the law.

00:39:24.000 We tried to change that this year.

00:39:25.000 The governor and them killed a bill that would give the public more access to what's going on in criminal courts.

00:39:33.000 We'll come back and we'll pass that.

00:39:35.000 New Orleans is unique because New Orleans is under a consent decree which really handcuffs the police instead of the criminals.

00:39:43.000 And I've been railing about that for about the last eight years.

00:39:46.000 But there are some things structurally we are going to make Louisiana a safe place.

00:39:52.000 That's great. What are the issues that are, you know, on the top of voters' minds?

00:39:57.000 I mean, I was watching last week, you know, Joe Biden ran around doing his, you know, talk about Bidenomics and, you know, how great it is.

00:40:04.000 I'm trying to... I'm like, I don't know, man.

00:40:08.000 If I have sticker shock when I go into a grocery store or when I see interest rates or anything, like, I'm the son of a billionaire.

00:40:15.000 Like, if I notice it, it's got to be hitting everyone.

00:40:19.000 You know, what does Bidenomics look like in Louisiana, and what are the other issues that may be on top of voters' minds there now?

00:40:28.000 Well, first of all, Bidenomics is crushing Louisiana jobs, right?

00:40:32.000 He has done everything he could to stifle the manufacturing that goes on.

00:40:37.000 You know, Louisiana used to be home to 23% of the refining capacity in the entire country.

00:40:43.000 Wow. After the last eight years under this current governor, we've lost 2% of that over to Texas.

00:40:49.000 But they're doing everything they can to hurt those refineries, to hurt that manufacturing space, everything they can to stifle oil and gas exploration.

00:40:58.000 That affects Louisiana as well.

00:41:01.000 So his economics don't work for Louisiana.

00:41:05.000 We're going to work to change that.

00:41:06.000 Of course, that's some of the things we've done as AG is to fight back against those particular policies.

00:41:10.000 But on the minds of people in Louisiana, three things.

00:41:13.000 Number one is actually crime, which we talked about.

00:41:16.000 We know why. Number two is education.

00:41:19.000 Louisiana lags. I mean, they're like 50th in education.

00:41:22.000 I mean, it really is. It's terrible.

00:41:24.000 Look, Doc, we've got 74% of our third graders can't read in Louisiana.

00:41:30.000 Eighty percent of eighth graders can't do basic math.

00:41:33.000 Our schools are failing our kids.

00:41:35.000 And we wonder why crime is so high.

00:41:37.000 You know, those things correlate.

00:41:38.000 My mom was a teacher.

00:41:40.000 She taught in a public school system.

00:41:42.000 She taught in a parochial system.

00:41:44.000 She was a principal. She was a coach.

00:41:46.000 And should tell you, I mean, the most important voice in a child's education are parents.

00:41:50.000 And we've taken the voice of parents out of the educational system and put more bureaucrats into the system and less teachers. 0.95

00:41:59.000 We've basically not allowed teachers to teach anymore.

00:42:02.000 We put these standardized tests out.

00:42:04.000 We put so much pressure on the teachers for their students to pass these tests that all we're doing is teaching these kids to test.

00:42:13.000 We're not actually teaching them.

00:42:15.000 We're not learning. I mean, I assume that's all coming from the teachers' union, or is it worse than that?

00:42:21.000 I think it's worse. You know, we've actually...

00:42:23.000 I've been talking to a lot of teachers and to actually superintendents, and they're seeing the same thing, and they're feeling the same thing.

00:42:30.000 I don't know what's going on in other states.

00:42:32.000 You know, Louisiana's kind of a right-to-work state.

00:42:35.000 Unions are not, you know, where they are, like, on the East Coast.

00:42:38.000 But, you know, we want our kids...

00:42:40.000 We want teachers to teach kids how to think, not what to think.

00:42:46.000 That's a very important distinction.

00:42:48.000 And the curriculum over the last decade, maybe more, has been, we want to basically

00:42:54.000 indoctrinate kids on what to think, not how to think.

00:42:59.000 We've taken away critical thinking.

00:43:01.000 Well, that's happening at university level too, right?

00:43:03.000 You're not allowed to have an opinion.

00:43:05.000 What would have been considered at any other time in modern history the finest institutions in the world?

00:43:11.000 Of course there's 9,752 genders. 0.99

00:43:15.000 Obviously. That's apparently science now.

00:43:19.000 And if you have a dissenting opinion, rather than having Healthy and civil discourse or an argument about it, which does teach you critical thinking. 0.94

00:43:28.000 The only way you can actually get ahead is by just regurgitating what they tell you, even if it's ridiculous or ludicrous. 0.95

00:43:34.000 Right. Well, you know, you took the words right out of my mouth. 0.96

00:43:37.000 This actually started in the universities and has trickled down into our K-12 schools now, okay?

00:43:44.000 And you're right. And it started out by, again, basically doing the same thing That we discussed at the beginning of this show was having viewpoint discrimination, not allowing young minds and young people to be able to debate.

00:43:59.000 Let me give you a great example of this.

00:44:01.000 Let's take economics.

00:44:03.000 I love to do this.

00:44:05.000 I go around. I see a young man, a young woman.

00:44:07.000 Oh, you're in college? Oh, yeah. What you in?

00:44:08.000 I'm in finance. I'm like, oh, really?

00:44:11.000 You're in finance? Yeah. You take any economics classes?

00:44:14.000 And then I love to say, well, we're taking macroeconomics.

00:44:17.000 Oh, what's macroeconomics?

00:44:19.000 I don't know. But either way, this is the question I asked them.

00:44:22.000 So let me ask you, do y'all learn Keynesian or Austrian economics?

00:44:29.000 And they look at me like I got horns coming.

00:44:32.000 What is that? And to me, that's the point.

00:44:36.000 The university should be able to teach or offer to the student both sides of the equation so that those students have the ability to look at those things, weigh them out, discuss them, debate them, and then decide for themselves, hey, do I like this type of economics or this type of economics?

00:44:56.000 I mean, we don't even do that in America anymore.

00:44:58.000 And those universities were built to do exactly what I'm telling you, to give students the ability to balance and to debate those issues.

00:45:06.000 You know it, but what they've done, they indoctrinate kids.

00:45:09.000 Yeah. So, you know, you're running for governor.

00:45:12.000 You're doing some amazing things.

00:45:13.000 What are the differences and the similarities, perhaps, in running for governor versus running for attorney general?

00:45:20.000 Is there a difference? Is there a difference in strategy, approach, how you do that?

00:45:26.000 Well, you know, Louisiana has one of those crazy jungle systems. 1.00

00:45:29.000 You know, we got to do everything different, which, of course, may be one of the reasons we last.

00:45:35.000 And so everybody gets on the ballot.

00:45:37.000 We all qualify in August and everybody runs in October.

00:45:40.000 Democrats, Republicans, Independents, whatever you are, you just pile in.

00:45:43.000 And then the two top vote getters then move over to the November election.

00:45:48.000 The governor's election has always been the 800-pound gorilla of the races.

00:45:53.000 It consumes all of the oxygen in the state.

00:45:57.000 Everybody's up. The whole legislature's up.

00:45:58.000 Sheriff's up. But the governor's race really is the one that consumes everything.

00:46:03.000 So we're at the top.

00:46:04.000 So we're on a big stage.

00:46:06.000 And as you know, they're shooting at us.

00:46:09.000 But I think that, you know, for our strategy is this.

00:46:11.000 We want to go out there and tell the citizens of the state, hey, look, this is the job we've been doing for you over the last eight years.

00:46:17.000 And we didn't care whether you were a Democrat or Republican or an Independent, whether you were black, white or brown.

00:46:23.000 We went out there and protected your liberties.

00:46:26.000 Your way of life, your culture.

00:46:28.000 We want an opportunity to do the same thing to fix our educational system, to fix our crime problem, and to create great jobs in Louisiana and get people moving in rather than moving out.

00:46:41.000 So what role do you currently have as Attorney General in being able to fight crime?

00:46:47.000 We spoke about those things.

00:46:49.000 You mentioned the consent decree, and I think that's something done with New Orleans and the Justice Department, almost carving out.

00:46:57.000 Explain how that works, because it feels like You have the federal government essentially making almost your job, or at least a component of your job, a lot harder to accomplish because they're basically carving you out of it.

00:47:11.000 How does that work so that people really understand it in detail?

00:47:14.000 That's a great question because people should understand that irrespective of where they live.

00:47:18.000 Because when I became Attorney General, I think there were like 12 or 13 cities that the Obama administration had placed under consent decrees.

00:47:27.000 Some of them are in, many of them, in the top 10 most dangerous cities.

00:47:31.000 Okay? Still today.

00:47:33.000 And basically what those consent decrees do is it's a federal takeover of your police department.

00:47:40.000 And so people who are listening out there and watching should always...

00:47:46.000 Be alert when they hear consent decree.

00:47:49.000 That equals, that translates to the federal government taking over some function of what belongs to either your local government or the state.

00:47:58.000 Listen, the federal government, we know, doesn't do a whole lot good, okay?

00:48:01.000 And they certainly can't manage a police department.

00:48:03.000 If you want to go see one, what it looks like when the federal government manages,

00:48:07.000 when a federal judge manages a police department, go down to New Orleans right now,

00:48:11.000 which is one of the most dangerous cities in the entire country.

00:48:15.000 And it's that way because they put in place policies that handcuff the police. 0.94

00:48:21.000 They're constantly, you know, making them train more.

00:48:24.000 You know, we've got a, they're under a policy.

00:48:27.000 They can't even chase a suspect.

00:48:29.000 Like, they can't even like run down the street.

00:48:32.000 They see somebody breaking in your car or somebody shooting somebody else.

00:48:35.000 They can't go on a high speed chase.

00:48:36.000 That's banned from now.

00:48:39.000 And then they got to say, oh, Don, we just saw you, you know, carjack or basically assault this female. 1.00

00:48:48.000 Would you mind putting your hands behind your back?

00:48:51.000 Would you please do that for us?

00:48:53.000 No, I'm not going to.

00:48:54.000 Okay, then have a nice day.

00:48:57.000 Yes. Yes, exactly.

00:48:59.000 I mean, think about it. And so those are the things that happen when you get into a consent decree.

00:49:02.000 And we've been railing against this thing.

00:49:04.000 And I'm going to tell you, when your dad was the president, we were like this close to getting that consent decree lifted.

00:49:11.000 And really, the federal government has no business taking over any state or any city's jobs.

00:49:19.000 So, you know, yeah, because I've seen that.

00:49:21.000 Obviously, you're a friend. And so I follow what's going on.

00:49:23.000 I see one of your opponents in the governor's race is sort of trying to blame you for that.

00:49:27.000 But it it doesn't seem like you actually have anything to do with it.

00:49:30.000 I mean, would you as governor be able to push back on that?

00:49:34.000 Would you be able to, you know, break that up?

00:49:37.000 Or does the federal government in this case actually sort of, you know, let's call it Trump the state's rights?

00:49:45.000 No, the good news is the governor's in charge of the state police.

00:49:48.000 I'm in charge of like 35 investigators.

00:49:51.000 And we don't have original jurisdiction on prosecutorial matters.

00:49:54.000 We only have supervisory jurisdiction.

00:49:56.000 So it's real hard for us to get a hold of cases or to wrestle cases away from, say, local DAs.

00:50:02.000 We want to, as governor, we will be able to change that particular policy or if we need to change it.

00:50:07.000 And put in a place where we can hold those DAs and judges accountable.

00:50:13.000 So that's a major, major difference from being the Attorney General and the Governor.

00:50:18.000 I mean, look, we've done everything we could to combat crime.

00:50:21.000 We were the only statewide elected official, the only one, to push back against the things that the Governor and them were doing that basically have caused violent crime in Louisiana to escalate.

00:50:32.000 We were the only ones who went out there and tried to reform our drug courts.

00:50:36.000 Because look, the criminal justice system, it's important.

00:50:39.000 And you know this, because y'all worked on it.

00:50:42.000 It's important that when good people make a bad decision, they get a second chance.

00:50:46.000 When bad people make a bad decision again and again and again, they got to go.

00:50:50.000 or when they do real awful things, they get to be put away for a long time. And so that's the

00:50:56.000 kind of system we want to build. We went and reformed our drug court system. The state of

00:51:01.000 Louisiana is getting $750 million from the opioid settlement that we litigated. We wanted to put

00:51:07.000 that into our drug courts. The governor vetoed it. Why? 0.85

00:51:10.000 Politics, because it had my name on it.

00:51:12.000 We're not going to play politics. We want to take care of people.

00:51:15.000 Yeah, no, that's a big one.

00:51:18.000 You know, speaking of sort of, you know, playing politics, you know, where do you see the 2024 Republican primary going?

00:51:24.000 I mean, you see Trump now with over 60% in the polls.

00:51:27.000 It feels like so many, to me, so many of the candidates are We're good to go.

00:51:54.000 Well, I think, you know, the sad part is, is that Republicans out there who do those kind of things, all they do is create losers on our side, right?

00:52:05.000 I mean, if you look at what the Democrats do, why they've been able to make the gains they've made, why the country is crumbling is because they've been able to consolidate their power and their power.

00:52:17.000 You know, groups of voters and move in one uniform direction, okay?

00:52:24.000 They pick a candidate or they see a candidate doing extremely well in the poll, they're like, let's not go beat him up.

00:52:30.000 We want him or her to win, right?

00:52:33.000 Republicans, we seem to not do that.

00:52:36.000 It just amazes me that we can't say, I mean, I thought we all care about people, right?

00:52:43.000 I mean, at some point in time, you look at the polling.

00:52:46.000 You see the momentum. You see an opportunity.

00:52:49.000 Why don't you go and say, look, let me be a part of that team.

00:52:52.000 Let's work on this together. Let's all pull in the same direction.

00:52:56.000 Let's all pull for freedom and liberty and bringing jobs back into America.

00:53:02.000 But for whatever reason, I don't know.

00:53:05.000 They have a tendency to either live in a particular bubble where they...

00:53:10.000 It's like an echo chamber.

00:53:12.000 I think some of them get in. And they don't get out there.

00:53:16.000 The one thing I have to say about your dad, whether people like him, dislike him, whatever, The man actually, this is the one thing people will actually say, oh, you met Donald Trump.

00:53:27.000 Tell me about him. I say, you know what?

00:53:28.000 He's got a tremendous amount of humility.

00:53:31.000 Like, I've watched him.

00:53:33.000 He won't walk over and talk to anybody, okay?

00:53:36.000 And he cares deeply about the conversation that he's having with them, whether they're a janitor, a cook, a teacher, a police officer, whomever it is, irrespective of their economic background or whatnot, he doesn't Truly cares what they have to say.

00:53:51.000 To me, that's really what public servants are supposed to do. 0.97

00:53:55.000 You call that servant leadership.

00:53:58.000 You don't just sit in a particular bubble telling yourself that you're better than you are.

00:54:06.000 I'm hoping the primary system For 2024, really writes itself in the near future.

00:54:14.000 But we'll see. You know, we'll see.

00:54:16.000 Yeah, we'll see. By the way, it's an interesting point you make, because I've had this conversation with a couple people who also know him like you do.

00:54:22.000 And I'm like, even during other things, I'm like, he actually has the empathy that he does not like the show, because he doesn't want to...

00:54:32.000 I'm dealing with Iran and China and Putin and North Korea. 0.90

00:54:36.000 If I'm the nice guy here, it makes me look weird.

00:54:39.000 There's an old school mentality there, but I'm like, man, I don't want to say it's...

00:54:43.000 Maybe I'll say it.

00:54:44.000 I'll get in trouble for it. But perhaps that's the political liability because he has something.

00:54:51.000 We know those people who are incapable of empathy or emotion.

00:54:57.000 That's different. When you're capable of it, but you actually sort of don't want to show it because of a different reason, it's an old school mentality.

00:55:04.000 But I'm like, man, I wish he saw that.

00:55:05.000 You see that maybe with some of his competition where they're incapable of talking to regular people.

00:55:11.000 They're, you know, on some level, they're not that way.

00:55:17.000 And they can... Create a personality online, having influencers do it, but it doesn't translate to the real world.

00:55:23.000 He actually has that, just doesn't like to show it often enough.

00:55:26.000 That's why, like, the behind-the-scenes things, you know, when he's at McDonald's and he's going back and forth, you'd like to see, oh, people love him because he actually has that ability, and not everyone does.

00:55:35.000 He just doesn't like to really show it on purpose, you know, which is weird.

00:55:39.000 Well, you know, it's two things I say about that.

00:55:41.000 One, that's what scares the bejeebies out of the Democrats and the liberals, right? 1.00

00:55:46.000 Because he is a bit unhinged in that.

00:55:49.000 Like, he'll go outside of the political norm and talk to anybody and, like, want to hear what they say.

00:55:54.000 And then he'll say, hey, you know, this person told me this, and it makes a whole lot of sense.

00:55:58.000 We should go do it. That strikes fear in the establishment.

00:56:03.000 You know, and two, going back in that vein, I love to talk to people, okay, who maybe don't have the greatest opinion of him, and they'll ask me that question, and I'll give them that answer, and they'll look at me like, really?

00:56:18.000 And then I'll tell them that, and they're like, hmm.

00:56:21.000 And they just, like, you can see the wheels turn.

00:56:23.000 I'm like, look, this is a man who will literally go out there and listen.

00:56:27.000 Okay? I know.

00:56:29.000 Maybe you don't see it on TV. Maybe it doesn't seem like that.

00:56:32.000 But I can tell you, there's a reason 72 million...

00:56:36.000 No, no. What was the last one? 80 million people voted for him.

00:56:39.000 Right? It's the reason that he packs the particular stadiums that he does.

00:56:44.000 It's the reason people gravitate to him.

00:56:46.000 You know, the amazing thing too is that I found out, you know, all through the 2016

00:56:50.000 cycle and the 2020 election, one of the things that fascinated me when he came to Louisiana

00:56:57.000 was the number of young people that were attracted to the rallies that he held.

00:57:02.000 And it was because I think that, you know, I think that right now Americans are searching

00:57:07.000 for some security to their liberty.

00:57:12.000 And they're looking for leaders out there that are going to stand up and say, you know what, America is still going to be a place of freedom, a place of greatness, and a place of exceptionalism.

00:57:23.000 There's nothing wrong with being exceptional.

00:57:26.000 Well, I think that's really well said, buddy.

00:57:28.000 And I think, you know, you're going to do that in Louisiana.

00:57:30.000 Where can our viewers, where can they follow you?

00:57:33.000 Where can they see what's going on so they can follow this race? 1.00

00:57:36.000 Because again, as you sort of alluded to, and where I actually agree 100%, you know, what was perhaps the great awakening of COVID was that Who your governor is matters a lot.

00:57:50.000 Their willingness to take on that stuff matters a lot.

00:57:53.000 In terms of your day-to-day life, that matters more than anything, whether it's towards your prosperity, freedoms, all those things that we hold dear.

00:58:01.000 Where can our viewers find you?

00:58:03.000 Where can they follow you? Where can they learn about the race and see what's going on?

00:58:07.000 Because again, I think the governors are leading the charge in that stuff.

00:58:11.000 Real simple. They just go to JeffLandry.com.

00:58:14.000 All of the information is there.

00:58:15.000 They can follow us on Facebook.

00:58:16.000 They can follow us on Instagram, Twitter.

00:58:19.000 Well, as much as Facebook will let it, right?

00:58:22.000 I think Twitter seems to be a little freer today.

00:58:24.000 Joe Biden may not be able to collude with them right now to censor you, but I have a feeling they're going to do it anyway, buddy.

00:58:30.000 But yeah, they can go to JeffLandry.com and follow us on all of the social media platforms, Rumbo, Truth Social, all of those.

00:58:38.000 We're on all of those platforms.

00:58:40.000 We love, if you're in Louisiana, we certainly want you to vote.

00:58:44.000 We want you to join our team.

00:58:45.000 We want you to get involved because this race is really not about me.

00:58:48.000 It's about you if you're living in Louisiana.

00:58:51.000 And if you're from outside of Louisiana, hey, look, join us, follow us, like us, you know.

00:58:58.000 Join our team. It all matters, man.

00:59:00.000 Well, thank you for everything that you're doing, Jeff.

00:59:02.000 But more importantly, thank you for the friendship.

00:59:04.000 I look forward to seeing you soon.

00:59:05.000 As we were discussing sort of before we started chatting, you know, maybe we got to go do a little redfish camp.

00:59:10.000 I have to get my Louisiana fix.

00:59:13.000 I haven't had it since like, I guess it was September, October when I was at your deer camp.

00:59:18.000 So look forward to getting back there, buddy.

00:59:21.000 Well, look, hopefully we'll get to do it.

00:59:22.000 We'll get a little bit of relaxation time and hope everybody is safe and enjoying the summer.
