With schematic changes underway, they head to Lafayette for a pivotal matchup against the Ragin' Cajuns.This week on Wizard Wednesday, I'm breaking down what these adjustments mean, how they could reshape the season, and the three keys Texas State must execute to get back in the win column. This isn't just another road game — it's the last chance to finally beat ULL. 

SEC Network's Peter Burns joins The Next Round to talk all things SEC football!

In this episode, Hunter sits down with Louisiana guide Ty Hibbs to talk about life in the marsh — raising kids in Cajun country, fighting for local fisheries, and what it means to stay rooted in the place you love. From shrimp boils and haunted car washes to the Jack Project and the next generation of conservation, Ty shares his heart for family, community, and the Louisiana coast. This conversation is full of humor, honesty, and perspective — a reminder that sometimes the best measure of success isn't the size of the fish, but the legacy you leave behind.

What is "real" Louisiana cooking? There's Creole, there's Cajun, and what's the difference anyway? However you define it, for many of us, it's simply what your mama used to make that made you feel loved. On this week's show, we meet three Louisiana authors whose cookbooks help tell the authentic story of our state's distinctive cuisine. First, we hear from Eric Cook, the executive chef and owner of two distinguished New Orleans restaurants: Gris-Gris and St. John. Eric talks about the evolution of our traditional local fare – many examples of which can be found in his cookbook, Modern Creole: A Taste of New Orleans Culture and Cuisine. Eric shares his secrets to success with dishes such as crab and shrimp stew, wild duck cassoulet, and even his mama's chicken and dumplings. Next, we welcome food writer and culinary historian Marcelle Bienvenu, who has reported on Cajun and Creole cooking for half a century. She shares her expert knowledge and talks about the fifth edition of her classic cookbook, Who's Your Mama, Are You Catholic, and Can You Make a Roux? Finally, for 125 years, Vaucresson Sausage Company has produced its beloved brand in New Orleans' Seventh Ward. In her debut cookbook, Creole Made Easy, co-owner Julie Vaucresson shares recipes and stories both from her illustrious family of origin and the family she married into.

Today we shine a spotlight on Louisiana Grass Roots, a compelling new documentary produced by Dr. Phyllis Baudoin Griffard and directed by Jillian Godshall. This film captures the voices of everyday Louisianians working to preserve our state's environmental and cultural heritage, highlighting powerful grassroots movements shaping our future. Jillian and Phyllis join us to share the inspiration behind the documentary, the stories that moved them most, and why community-driven action matters now more than ever. This episode is also special on a personal note—Jan Swift's daughter, Kelly, who works in the film industry at the Manship Theater, made this introduction. Even though we all live and work in the same region, this documentary brought us together in a way that highlights what community truly means in South Louisiana. About the Filmmakers – In Their Own Words Director Jillian Godshall began by expressing gratitude for the local connection that made this collaboration possible. “I am a filmmaker. I'm also an educator. I've been doing both for over 15 years at this point. It's taken me all over the world. I'm really glad to be here in Lafayette doing that work as well.” Her background is deeply rooted in documentary storytelling: “My background in filmmaking is mostly in documentary filmmaking. I've worked on big budget, large scale reality TV show stuff—don't tell anyone—and all the way down to where I feel most comfortable now, which is working on smaller-scale independent projects, having more of the creative leadership role, directing and being super involved in every aspect of production.” Jillian also teaches video editing to incarcerated students through an organization called The Last Mile: “I currently teach video editing to incarcerated students… and work with Phyllis, hang out with Phyllis, plant plants with Phyllis.” Producer Dr. Phyllis Baudoin Griffard shared her deep Louisiana roots and her global experience in science education: “I'm from Lafayette originally, grew up all over the South… I got a degree from USL in zoology and then went off to graduate school in biochemistry. I came back to Louisiana and started teaching at Xavier University, and I knew then that's what I wanted to do.” Phyllis' work has always focused on connecting people to the land and ecology around them: “Even as a biologist and teaching university students, I always was looking for local examples and to reconnect students outside the textbook to the biology that's in their own backyard.” She emphasized the importance of place in identity: “When I came home, I heard French, I heard the music—you can really connect to this place.” The Origin of Louisiana Grass Roots: A Story Rooted in Place, Memory, and Rediscovery Jillian and Phyllis did not come together through a traditional film industry channel; they were united through a local experience that awakened something deeper. Phyllis explains that after returning to Lafayette and connecting with the Acadiana Master Naturalist Program, she began to understand the importance of the Cajun Prairie through firsthand fieldwork. “One of the topics is about the Cajun prairie… I had learned about the prairie, and I knew about it more from when we lived in Texas, because the people in and around Houston just ooh and ah about the prairie scientists we have over here: Larry Allen, Charles Allen and Malcolm Vidrine, who discovered what they have since called the Cajun Prairie. 2.5 million acres. Most of Southwest Louisiana was part of this prairie, which only less than 1% exists today.” It was during a field trip with the Master Naturalists that she crossed paths with Jillian: “I led one of the field trips and found out that Jill was a filmmaker, and I happened to say, ‘Oh, I just finished doing a film, The Quiet Cajuns, with Conni Castille.' And her ears perked up and she said, ‘Well, I think we should make a film about the prairie.'”

Join us as we start our Live talk with the U Haul truck inccident in San Francisco attempting to ram Coast Guardsmen and federal agents. We then shift over to the Trump-Xi meeting that is taking place to hopefully put to rest the tariff war between the two countries. Speaking of Trump, 24 states are now sueing him for the halt on SNAP benifits, although we next discuss how multiple Democrats acknowledge that this halt (and the government shut down as a whole) are being used as political leverage despite how many people it will effect. We then shift over to the hurricane that demolished Jamaica, then we debunk the Venezuelan claims that Maduro has captured CIA agents attempting to set up a false flag operation. The Russian president is touting that they have now created a weapon that no one else on earth has, a nuclear powered missle! I guess they are unaware that America developed this technology already and scrubbed it because it's stupid...back in 1961! Isreal has reattacked Gaza killing over 100 people, then says it will continue the cease fire, over an alleged scandal involving the return of hostage remains that have already been returned two years ago. We then shift over to Sudan and discuss the genocide that is un folding there by the RSF, before we finish off talking about the massive gang raids that are taking place in Brazil killing 136 gang members by police and military forces.To join in on the conversation next week, come to patreon.com/CajunKnightBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cult-of-conspiracy--5700337/support.

Mike and Craig discussed the team's point guards and shooting guards.

Recorded on-location, this episode of Big Blend Radio's “Travel with Terri” Show celebrates National Sausage Month with Maitland “Spuddy” John Faucheux, owner of Spuddy's Cajun Cooking Experience — where visitors can taste, learn, and live true Louisiana flavor! Located about 50 miles outside of New Orleans, Vacherie lies in Louisiana's historic German Coast, once a major farming hub that fed the Crescent City. The town's name, derived from the French word for “cowshed,” reflects its agricultural roots as the region's center for beef production. Today, Vacherie welcomes thousands of visitors each year who come to tour the nearby Oak Alley, St. Joseph, and Laura Plantations — and to experience the culinary heart of Cajun country at Spuddy's. In this lively and flavorful conversation, Terri chats with Spuddy about the deep connection between food and culture in Louisiana, and the importance of community and storytelling through cooking. Spuddy also shares the fascinating history of andouille sausage, a staple of Cajun cuisine, and explains how he makes it by hand using traditional techniques. From gumbo to jambalaya, and from the simplicity of Cajun seasoning to the sweetness of local desserts, this episode captures the joy, flavor, and spirit of Southern hospitality.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for October 24, 2025. 0:30 Has James Carville finally gone off the deep end? We react to the “Ragin’ Cajun’s” shocking rant, where he fantasizes about shaving the heads of Trump supporters, dressing them in orange jumpsuits, and parading them down Pennsylvania Avenue to be spat upon. And we unpack the left’s obsession with public shaming and “thought crimes" and thechilling parallels to Orwell’s 1984 and the real-world silencing of conservatives during the COVID era. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. President Trump has terminated all trade negotiations with Canada over a TV ad that features a clip of President Ronald Reagan seemingly denouncing tariffs. Inflation ticked up a bit in September, but not as much as was expected. The USS Gerald Ford Aircraft Group is moving into the Caribbean sea as the US is ramping up military strikes against drug runners coming from South America. 12:30 Get NSorb from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:30 We dig into the spiritual sickness spreading through half of America: a willful blindness where truth, logic, and reason no longer matter, only outrage. From Trump Derangement Syndrome to a culture that prizes victimhood over virtue, we explore how emotion has replaced truth on the left. 16:30 We ask American Mamas — Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson — how they can be okay with Donald Trump tearing down part of the White House. We unpack the latest round of media outrage, sparked by Trump’s privately funded ballroom project. From Chelsea Clinton’s dramatic tweets to Hakeem Jeffries’ call for an investigation, we dig into the hypocrisy surrounding presidential renovations. Nearly every president—from Teddy Roosevelt to Barack Obama—has left their mark on the White House. So why is it suddenly a scandal when President Trump does the same? 23:00 House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is endorsing Zoran Mamdani—a New York politician so far left, he makes Bernie Sanders look like Milton Friedman. We unpack Mamdani’s extremist rhetoric, including his call to “globalize the Intifada,” and what that really means for Jewish communities at home and abroad. 25:30 What exactly is the “Trump Doctrine”? It's simple: be nice to me, I’ll be nice to you — cross me, and you’ll regret it. We break down President Trump’s decision to hold off on deploying the National Guard to crime-ridden San Francisco after a respectful call from the city’s Democratic mayor, Daniel Lurie. It's a perfect example of Trump’s “tit-for-tat” strategy in action — strength tempered by reason, toughness balanced with generosity. 32:30 Get Prodovite from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 33:30 Canada just got a cold dose of the Trump Doctrine. We break down the fallout after Ontario Premier Doug Ford pulled a $75 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign that deceptively used Ronald Reagan’s words to attack U.S. tariffs. Turns out, the ad violated Canadian law — and when Trump found out, he didn’t just hit back, he shut down the negotiations altogether. 36:00 Plus, it's Fake News Friday! We're putting you to the test with our weekly game of headlines—are they real news, fake news, or really fake news? From Trump flyingan F-16 and dumping poo on protestors, to a White House ballroom ball pit, and a Democrat Senate candidate's Nazi tattoo, can you spot the fake news? Play along, keep score, and share your results with us on Facebook page: facebook.com/AmericanGroundRadio. 40:30 As the media piles on ICE once again, we take a step back to ask a simple question: what’s to hate about enforcing the law? From sanctuary city standoffs to repeat offenders shielded by politics, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has become a symbol of accountability in an age of chaos. It's not cruelty — it’s common sense — and that Americans are finally saying “whoa” to open borders and lawlessness. 42:00 And we finish off with some words of wisdom about the White House.

Join us as we start the discussion by talking about the civil uprising taking place right now in Ireland.

We then go across the channel to talk about the Louvre heist that took place in braod day light, and review the priceless jewelry the theives made off with! Then our conversation shifts over to America, where President Trump is asking the justice department for a $230 million resitution payment for their investigations in 2023 and 2024. Which oddly enough, might coinside with the $250 million ball room renovation being done to the White House, which Trump claims "will not be paid for by the tax payers... We then briefly discuss the "no kings day" protests, and the little known political party in the US that actually wants to make America a monarchy! We also talk about the US pulling out of UNESCO, and what that may mean for our monuments, and we finish up by talking about a statement that was made by the Columbian president in regards to Trump.To join in next week, come to patreon.com/CajunKnightBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cult-of-conspiracy--5700337/support.

We then shift over to Idaho and peel back some of the misunderstandings surrounding the Qatari pilots that will be training there. We briefly touch on a suspicious crash that just happened outside of Area 51, before we move the conversation towards the ceasefire between Hamas and the IDF as Hamas is conducting public executions in the street.

This week, Big Chief takes The Whiskey Trip deep into the beating heart of Branch, Louisiana, where faith, family, and providence have tilled the same soil for generations. Here he sits with Mike Fruge, the man behind J.T. Meleck Distillery, who turned a family rice farm into a living testament of Louisiana's spirit and soul. The Meleck family came to Louisiana from Germany in 1896, settling among the French Creole communities and learning to make the best out of the land God gave them. Over the decades, their devotion became their destiny, rice fields that once fed families now fill glasses with a whiskey born of hard work, humility, and providence itself. The journey begins with their Small Batch Rice Whiskey at 96 proof, soft, warm, and familiar, like rice pudding kissed with cinnamon straight from Grandma's kitchen. Then, the throttle opens with their High Proof Small Batch at 118 proof, where sassafras tea and clove spice rise up like the Cajun wind across the fields — rich, bold, and full of character. But the final pour? That's where the road hits full stride. Big Chief and Mike close the ride with a Single Barrel Rice Whiskey, hand-selected by Spec's, blazing in at 120.9 proof. It's a powerhouse of flavor and finesse, a whiskey that will knock your socks clean off and stand toe-to-toe with any bourbon born north of the bayou. This episode is a testament to what happens when faith meets fire, when heritage meets heat and when a dream becomes destiny in every drop of Louisiana gold. So pour a glass, take a deep breath, and hang on tight, because this week's Whiskey Trip is one you'll feel in your chest and remember in your soul.

Disappointing? Yes. But the Cajuns showed some intensity and effort in their loss to the Dukes. We talk about the good, and bad, in the first conference loss of the season before we look ahead to Homecoming week.

In today's Daily Fix:Disney's Tron: Ares is glitching at the box office. The Jared Leto-led movie pulled in $33.5 million at the domestic box office during its opening weekend, lower than Leto's 2022 flop Morbius, which earned $39 million domestic in its opening weekend. Globally, Tron: Ares sits at just over $60 million, and faces a steep climb to earn back its $180 million production budget. In other movie news, Channing Tatum says his solo Gambit movie was a little too much for Disney. The movie was going to be an R-rated rom-com andwould've featured "mutants having sex." Gambit was stuck in development hell and eventually dropped, but Tatum was able to finally put on the Cajun accent for Deadpool & Wolverine. Tatum is also featured in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.

Some people discover their calling by accident. Literally. An injury or an illness or divine providence can lead to a vocation. You might call each of my guests today healers. But neither started out with the idea of becoming one. They were patients first — searching for relief when the medical system didn’t always have the answers. That journey led them to very different paths. One through modern medicine and physical therapy. The other through the centuries-old practice of faith healing. Becca Begnaud is a traiteur, a Cajun faith healer. She grew up in Scott, Louisiana, in a family and community where traiteurs were part of everyday life. If you had warts, a sprained ankle, or a headache, you went to see someone with the prayer. But it wasn’t until Becca was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1989 that she began to take up the practice. A nun suggested she look into healing work. She studied Reiki, trauma first aid and worked in hospice care. Eventually she embraced her role as a healer in Acadiana. For Becca, healing is community, it’s connection, it’s laughter and prayer. She’s practiced for decades as a volunteer, never charging for her services, and today she continues her work from her office in Lafayette. Philip Thibodeaux is the founder of Restore Physical Therapy and Wellness in Lafayette. Philip grew up in Monroe and followed in the footsteps of his mother, who was a physical therapist. But his own story as a patient shaped how he thinks about care. At 14, Philip suffered a severe shoulder injury that went undiagnosed for months. By the time doctors discovered a torn labrum, the damage was done. He suffered through three surgeries and countless hours of physical therapy before he turned 30. The experience made him determined to treat patients differently than he had been treated. After working for a major healthcare agency, Philip became frustrated with the corporate approach — overbooking, inconsistent and inconsiderate care. In 2025, after the birth of his son, he struck out on his own. He launched Restore, a boutique clinic that emphasizes personalized care and new techniques like SoftWave therapy. Out to Lunch Acadiana was recorded live over lunch at Tsunami Sushi in downtown Lafayette.

Larry Roussel talks gumbo intricacies with Don Dubuc! Should people put tomato and ochre in their gumbos? And is there a difference between Cajun and Creole gumbo? Uncle Larry fills us in.

The weather is cooling down here in Louisiana, which means outdoor events are heating up across our state. Out on the Cajun Prairie, Le Grand Hoorah, a festival dedicated to the music, food, and culture of the people of Acadiana, is coming up November 1st. The annual event turns 10 this year – and to celebrate, Louisiana Eats brings you highlights from our road trip to attend Le Grand Hoorah in 2017. We begin in downtown Mamou, where our gracious host Valerie Cahill gives us a grand welcome at the historic Hotel Cazan. After grabbing breakfast down the road at the charming Krazy Cajun Cafe, we cross the street to visit Mamou's world-famous dancing and drinking destination, Fred's Lounge. Over spicy Bloody Marys and cheap beer, Camille Fonteneau talks to us about the important role the local AM radio station KVPI has played in the community and in her life. On our way to La Grand Hoorah, we learn why Ville Platte holds the title of "Smoked Meat Capital of the World." We make a pit stop at Paul's Meat Market and Grocery, where many locals and out-of-towners purchase their meat. We then meet Kermit Miller, the man behind "the barbecue sauce with a Cajun accent," Jack Miller's Barbecue Sauce. Continuing a family tradition begun by his father Jack in 1955, Kermit's family recipe has found a following across the country. Finally, we arrive at Chicot State Park, where hundreds of people from around Louisiana, and the world, were gathered for Le Grand Hoorah. We hear music performances by Cajun youngsters and meet the brains behind the festival, Gilbert "Winkie" Aucoin. Winkie explains why he is dedicated to the preservation of his culture. We also eat our weight in cracklins and boudin, thanks to the tireless efforts of individuals like Toby Ryder, an expert in the art of traditional Cajun boucherie. We end our show by learning about NOLA Nite Market, another outdoor Louisiana event happening in Westwego on November 14th and 15th. The evening bazaar features a plethora of authentic Asian street foods created by local mom and pop restaurants – complete with live music and artisan wares. NOLA Nite Market founder Thuy Pham tells us what to expect at the nighttime fete. For more of all things Louisiana Eats, be sure to visit us at PoppyTooker.com.

Louisiana will travel to Harrisonburg, Virginia for the first time in program history to face off against the JMU Dukes.

We then take a few minutes to talk about Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau publicly dating. Speaking of celebs, the new AI actor Tilly Norwood has Hollywood enraged as the AI intity is being sought after by talent agencies. Sticking on the topic of technology, Elon's new kung fu robot that he brought to the premier of the new Tron movie might have a few more applications than he has been alluding to. Denmark grounds ALL drones, both military and civilian, as it preps for an EU summit in Copenhagen to discuss Russian air space breaches. Speaking of adversarial air movements, China sent fighter jets to run "constructive kills" on British Royal ships near Taiwan, as a way to train for what many belive will be an attack coming soon. The Saudi royal family just purchased EA gaming company, which may lead to a whole new wave of games to come from the company very soon! We just recieved word that there MAY finally be a ceasefire agreement in Isreal, which then leads us into a history debate about this region and the tactics of the past. Speaking of weapons and tactics, Lockheed Martin just secured new contracts for 296 more F35s to be built. There seems to be some contraversy in the WNBA about the pay the atheletes are recieving, and the cheif of the organization's comments are not pretty. Comey plead not guilty to the purgery charges, while 9 Republicans names are being brought up because their phone records were subpoenaed in relation to Jan 6! We then shift over to the government shut down conversation, and why Trump says he doesn't want to back pay federal employees. Florida man was responsible for the Palisade fires... I honestly didn't see that coming. We finish by discussing the possibilities of Trump invoking the insurection act, and what is really going on within the big cities of America. To join in on the conversation next Wednesday ight at 9 pm cst, come to patreon.com/CajunKnightBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cult-of-conspiracy--5700337/support.

Growing up in Evangeline Parish, Louisiana, opening weekend of squirrel season wasn't just a date on the calendar — it was a rite of passage. In this episode, I trace my journey from a child raised in the heart of Cajun country to a hunter deeply shaped by those first days in the woods.This is more than a hunting tale. It's a portrait of a heritage — Cajun, rural, proud — and a call to keep alive the rituals that tether us to land, to family, and to spirit.

Everyday we take a breath from the busy workday to hang out with friends and talk about the world of Sports, Entertainment and specifically CrossFit.

Join us as we take a trip around the world and discuss the events unfolding before our very eyes! We start off with the flotilla thats been intercepted on it's way to Gaza, and Greta Thumberg being detained. We then shift over to Iran's missle manufacturing and the reimposed sanctions by western countries as a response. Next we discuss the Russian submarine that sent out an SOS signal as it was passing through the straight of Gibralter, and the British Royal Navy that responded. Speaking of Britain, the British government is debating over whether they should outlaw 1st cousin marriages... some say its incestuous and wrong, others say making this illegal is racist and bigoted... no I'm not joking. We then shift to Estonia, where America is sending them twice as many HIMARS in response to Russia violating their air space, again. We also discuss the Secretary of WAR's address to the generals and senior enlisted of the American armed forces in Qauntico, as he is giving directives to restore the American military to its former glory, not the social experiment it has become. We then discuss Trump deploying National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, and the Mayor and Goveror are suing him in response! Not only that, but the main military industrial bodies have been tasked with QUADRUPLING the amount of missles they are currently slated to build for the US government. We end by talking about the new hypersonic missle the USAF has developed (the Angry Tortoise) with liquid fuel, and why it's so impressive.To join in on the conversation next week, come to patreon.com/CajunKnightBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/cult-of-conspiracy--5700337/support.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Tuesday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. The Kick Ass Standard President Trump’s announcement on prescription drug pricing, revealing that Pfizer will now offer medications at “most favored nation” prices, a move aimed at reducing costs for American consumers. Clay then shifts to a fiery cultural debate sparked by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s speech to military leaders, emphasizing a return to strict physical standards and meritocracy in the U.S. Armed Forces. Hegseth rejects DEI mandates and insists on combat readiness over diversity quotas, sparking a broader conversation about whether elite positions in the military—or any field—should reflect demographics or prioritize performance. Clay uses examples from Olympic basketball and the National Spelling Bee to argue that excellence rarely mirrors population diversity and that merit should always come first. Golden Handcuffs An in-depth discussion on JK Rowling’s viral takedown of Emma Watson and the gender ideology debate. Clay praises Rowling’s courage in standing against what she calls “gender insanity,” reading excerpts from her powerful statement that has garnered tens of millions of views. He challenges wealthy and influential Americans to show similar bravery in defending truth and common sense. OK Sen. Markwayne Mullin Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin does a deep dive into the budget impasse, blaming Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for obstructing a “clean CR” (Continuing Resolution) due to pressure from progressive challengers like AOC. Mullin outlines the shutdown’s impact on military pay, federal employees, and mandatory vs. discretionary spending, while criticizing continued COVID-era healthcare subsidies and Obamacare enrollment for undocumented immigrants—a $350 billion taxpayer burden, he claims. Mullin and Travis assert that Donald Trump’s 2024 landslide victory was a rejection of socialism and far-left policies. They argue the Democratic Party is now led by figures like Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar, and Jasmine Crockett, and suffering an identity crisis. Mullin also praises military fitness standards, referencing Pete Seth’s call for accountability among generals, and shares his own leadership philosophy rooted in discipline and example-setting. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise Congressman and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise joins the show to reflect on the Charlie Kirk shooting, drawing parallels to his own experience as a victim of political violence in 2017. Scalise emphasizes the importance of civil discourse, condemns cancel culture, and highlights the resilience of Turning Point USA, which has seen over 50,000 students express interest in launching chapters. He praises Erica Kirk’s commitment to continuing Charlie’s legacy and notes a religious revival among youth inspired by Kirk’s faith. Scalise also discusses the House-passed funding bill, warning that Schumer and the far-left are pushing a shutdown out of political spite. He urges Democrats to prioritize governance over ideological battles. The hour closes with Scalise’s thoughts on LSU football, NIL funding, and the electrifying experience of Saturday nights in Tiger Stadium, complete with Cajun tailgating and Garth Brooks anthems.
