Speaker 1 (00:00):
Is this too cliche a bumper music right now?

Speaker 2 (00:02):
No, not at all, especially since the Saints do go
marching in all Sunday and today is the start of
the official NFL season, So I think is appropriate We've
got the Saints go marching in.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
You know, in honor of the Saints season starting back
up again. Wouldn't it be cool if we had one
of the ultimate Saints fans on the show right now
to tell us, you know what he thinks about the
team this season and some of the predictions and it
you mean me? No, not you, somebody somebody that's really
important in the state of Louisiana.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Oh, I see somebody who? Actually?

Speaker 2 (00:34):
I mean Tommy Dragos. No.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
I like Tommy though, he's a good guy. But Tommy
didn't enact historic tax cuts. He didn't attract fifty billion
dollars in new investments. He didn't lead major education reforms,
moving the nation's report card through the state eleven spots
up in thirteen months. He didn't champion law enforcement and
criminal justice reforms, focusing on accountability with the forty three

(00:56):
percent drop in violent crime in New Orleans.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Hell did all that to do this? Well?

Speaker 3 (01:00):
I mean, we call him Jeff, but some people might
know him as Governor Landry and.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Hi Jeff, Governor Landry.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
Good morning, Good morning. How are you doing.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Oh, everything's great over here, man. We're having a good day.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
We are pretty awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
We got into work this morning, we started looking at
all the sound bites and stuff from yesterday, and wouldn't
you know it, the President of the United States of
America maybe you've heard of him, was talking about you.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
He's great.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
Let me tell you something. The best thing that happened
to America was Donald Trump. I mean, unbashionedly. He is
just doing an unbelievable job. I appreciate the President's big
shout out, and it kind of came in a great time.
And know if you also saw, we opened up the
Louisiana Lockup, opened up four hundred bed attention facility where

(01:52):
we are going to put the worst of the worst criminals,
elite criminal lego aliens in Angola.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
There you go. I like it. I love it. That's fantastic.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
We have to let a lot of prisoners out to
make room for the new ones.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
No no, no, no, no no no.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
We just use an existing facility that needed some repairs.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Good okay, good I think it needs a cool name though,
like Alligator Alcatraz. What could we call the facility in Louisiana,
Maybe like Cajun Alcatraz or I don't know. I don't
want to be too cliche or something something clever.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
You know, they've already got that.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
Yeah, what Yeah, we call it the Louisiana Lock Up.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Love it. That is fantastic.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
You were in a very short period of time, you
were able to lower crime in the city of New
Orleans simply by using this radical idea of bringing in police,
which some people had never seen that done before. In
this case, it was the Louisiana State Troopers and it worked.
And now one of the things that Trump's pointing out
is much like bringing in the National Guard into Washington,

(02:52):
d C. We could probably make crime even lower in
New Orleans with the National Guard, as well as places
like Chicago, maybe Memphis or Detroit. You've already made great
leaps and bounds in New Orleans. But the question is
is this a welcome idea? What do you think about
that National Guard in the uh?

Speaker 1 (03:07):
You know it?

Speaker 4 (03:10):
Oh, listen, I think that the President is on something.
We look, we we brought the National Guard into ages. Uh,
that's certainly helped quiet riots and quiet over there. Ever,
since he is tired sycotogic. Many people out there seeing
our major cities in this country just have so much
violence in them. I mean, Chicago, it's like place is

(03:31):
a war zone. And and and look what the president
did in the shutter at the time, him and A. G.
Bondi and Secretary Nome and Pete and them did in Washington,
d C. And so exactly what you said this is.
I mean, it does not take four year college degree
to believe that if you put some police around, if
you put some boots on the ground, like people will behave.

(03:55):
It's not the president, He's spot on. I'm with it.
So you no, you know that was just like it is.
I mean, it looked. You're right, what we've done to
Orleans is exceptional. Here's the trick, though, kiddy, we have
to maintain that momentum. It can't be one of these
things like, oh, we dropped crime and then we look

(04:15):
back and crime and again we want to come in.
We want the presidents there, we want to keep it there,
and we want these cities safe.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Couldn't you call in the National Guard instead of you know,
waiting for the President to do it.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Yeah, I think that's what he suggested, right, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
And look, we used one of the things that that
we did. We actually used the National Guard after the
terrorist attack Jenny, remember you know that New Year's horrific
terrorist attack on New Year's Day, and we brought in
the national Guard at that I mean President hadn't gotten
sworn in yet, but he but we were able to

(04:57):
bring in things I don't we brought in several Tuesday
FBI worked. I'm not sure who's the FBI eight we're
using in Louisiana. The recipe that Donald Trump has created
a mixture of national look FBI at f DEA, and
then locals. And now here's the thing, though, here's what

(05:20):
you've got to remember, and you all have a few
days with this is what the police can only put
the handcuffs on and put them in jail for a
short period of time. The judges and the prosecutors got
to keep them in jail, amen, And that that's the
second part of this that has to happen.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
All right, All right, well, speaking of crime in New Orleans,
I'd love to get your take on this, if you're
allowed to give it. I don't know what the case is,
but there's this woman in New Orleans who's suing LaToya Cantrell.
She's upset because the city's attorney is handling Cantrell's case.
Her name's Anna bro and she's filed a motion in
a federal court asking a judge to disqualify the taxpayer

(05:55):
funded office from representing LaToya Cantrell and her chief of
staff in a case apparently she released a lot of
this woman's private information in a now tossed restraining order.
This has been getting a lot of discussion in New
Orleans because obviously LaToya Cantrell is what the grand jury,
the investigations.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
She's getting a free lawyer.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Yeah right, you're right. I know I don't think so either.
And I'm just curious. You know, even Ken Paxton when
he was impeached, I had to hire. Tony Busby had
to hire his own attorneys. Should they Should the taxpayers
be responsible for defending LaToya Cantrell.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
No, Look, it really is sad. I mean, look, what
she's probably getting is a free trip.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Ye those over here too, Yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
Mean, look it really is. I mean it's terrible. Taxed
me is the foot the view when we've known that
city has had problem for so so long, and there's
been a big problem in many of these cities, not
just you all in Chicago. These corrupt political operations, and
I want to assess to the criminal activity didn't do
nothing to keep their citizens safe, but they save harbor

(07:05):
criminals and illegal criminal aliens and gangs and when they
get in trouble for the bill, I mean, really.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yeah, I tend to agree. I mean, it's kind of amazing.
We have this problem in Houston too. Lena Hidalgo, Yeah, boys,
why is it that you know, when we go on vacation,
I don't get twenty thousand dollars from the taxpayers.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
I don't see neither does she?

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Right, Well, she wanted it, and she thought for sure
she'd get it, but they said no.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
All right, let's get down to the big question of
the week. I think everybody wants to know that. I
know this is controversial, and obviously this is gonna upset
a few people, but we needed to get the answer
to this question.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Oh boy, the hard question here they got.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Will the Saints beat the Cardinals on Sunday? What's going
to happen?

Speaker 4 (07:48):
I'm I'm with the Saint with the you know getting there,
We're getting there. God, it'd be great to say I
did the say that a win and they win. I mean,
like one we're talking about the game.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yeah, they say that this is a rebuilding year for
the Saints. There you guys buying that that they will
say it is I told you yesterday.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
You know, the odds makers, the power books, they has
the Saints, Oh, the worst team in football, that's what
they're saying. That's before anybody actually hit the field. I
don't know what they're basing that on.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Now.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
In their defense, it is the best place to tailgate
in the country. Revenue, land I mean, it's not even closed.
I grew up in Chicago where they throw batteries at
the fans of the opposing tennis That's rude.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
It's not quite the same thing, you know what I mean.
So what are you.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Doing this weekend, Governor Landry? You're gonna be watching the
Saints there in the Dome or you got other plans.

Speaker 4 (08:38):
No, this this week is my big alligator hunt. It's
like we had big ar enforcement night last night with
the sheriffs and chiefs of police at General BONDI and
Christy Nomani. They brought a three point five million dollar
check for the two eighty seven.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
G program year.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
But then you know, next year, y'all are coming broadcast
on Friday morning from Alligator Hunt. It's going to be
the greatest, greatest time will ever have State Thursday night.
That's right.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
I've heard nothing but good things about that.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
Y'all could broadcast while yo hont alligatus that.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
I think that's that's probably what we'll work on now.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
In the past, if I'm not mistaken, Charlie Kirk has
attended this thing, Donald Trump Junior, a lot of quite
quite the list of who's who in the MAGA movement,
and I think that this is one of it's one
of the things that mega enthusiasts look forward to the most.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
It's become an annual tradition, hasn't it.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
Oh, it's great. In fact, Don Ju showed up the
past nice taking a year for a little while, and
we had Pam Bondy and then Chris Nome and Master year,
and we've got a number of Congress for Yeah, it's
listen in the Greatest on I'm telling you, we got
to I don't know why when I apologize. I should

(09:52):
invite Joe this year, getting.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
The invite next year.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Now it's a little late, and can He just got
back from the desert for reason, so he probably needs
his rests.

Speaker 3 (10:02):
We did actually all just get back from traveling, that's true.
But I got to tell you something I thought was
really cool is Governor Landry got Donald Trump Junior to
eat at Tuffe. And I was there when it happened.
He really seemed to enjoy eating. Well, who doesn't like
it to fail. I'm just saying, I don't think they
serve that in Florida. I don't think they have it
in DC. Louisiana has got some of the best food
in the world.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
About when he jumped into the water and nalligated invested water,
remember that that was about oh my god, that was
about six years ago when the president first got elected.
Junior comes down and he jumps in the water, and
a Secret Service agent looked at me. He's like, really,
I'm gonna have to get in this water. Don't worry.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
You have to wrestle that alligator to the ground.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
All right, we got we got to break. We got
to break. In a minute.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
Here, we're gonna let Governor Landry get the last word.
Anything you want people to take a look at today,
check out any news you want people to be aware of.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
No, was just just check out all the great things
that are happening in Louisiana, because I'm telling you it's
the greatest story. It hasn't been told yet. We're doing
some great things. We keep working. We did a safe
again and we love the one in Johnson's show.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Governor Landry Live. I'm Walton and Johnson.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
He is the only governor in America who is officially
a ten percenter in my humble Appare we go?

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, stay tuned for more Walton and Johnson.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Somebody needs to shout he I think you just did.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
I thought you were supposed to go.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
You can do that too, Ala, I'll never get it right.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
No, probably, I'm just a fan. I'm not.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
I'm an enthusiast of the uh dave utay the fun sound.
I can't do the thing that Billy Ed does at
the beginning of every Hank Williams song.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Either, Yeah, you can't do that, do it for us?

Speaker 2 (11:38):
No, I don't want to do because then you're gonna
try it and it's just gonna it's just gonna aggrevate me.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Would it he blasphemy to do it over this? I
think it would.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Actually, what are what are we listening to?

Speaker 1 (11:47):
I'm not here to blasphemys.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
This is the Saints are gonna do it again. It's
one of the many fun songs you hear outside of
a Saints football game, right when you're at the gumba party.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Before the game. No, the gumbo bought it Friday night.
Oh my bad.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Everybody knows that and went red bean and rifle gumbo
party Friday, red bean Monday.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Do you think at the border at Texas and Louisiana
on red beans and rice night, they ever do like
refried beans and rice or Mexican rice and red bean?

Speaker 1 (12:13):
Better not just to throw a curveball to.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
The You gotta beat the red beans. And I put
that that smoke sausage in there, man, because that makes
it really good. I don't know, you know how it's
gonna go this weekend, because preseason don't tell you a
whole lot. But these people that are saying, well, the
Saints will just they'll be the worst team in football
this year.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
They'll just suck.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Yeah, they they don't know they're just saying stuff to
get attention. But the Cardinals, who the Saints have to
play this Sunday in the home Dome, by the way,
or a pretty much a touchdown favorite, so six and
a half. They always do the halfs so we don't
have a tie. But that's that's how that works, So
we'll see. Yeah, you know, one of the best ways

(12:56):
to play is when everybody just kind of assumes you're
gonna suck, you can pop up and surprise some folks.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
It's true, you know, Like I thought the prequels to
Star Wars were going to be terrible because I didn't
go see him on opening day, and then I ended
up seeing the movie.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
It was actually not that bad because I was expecting
it to be.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Really awful, as terrible as you might have suspected.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
But we all agreed jar Jar Binks was racist, right,
everybody knows that. And then that guy that Annakin hung
out with, wasn't that like an anti Semitic trope?

Speaker 2 (13:23):
The well he owned Anakin when he was a child. Yeah,
that felt it seemed a little stereotyping.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
They made him look a little bit like mel Brooks
or Harvey Weinstein. That's all I'm saying, you know, if
they could fly, I mean obviously.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
I mean he had little bitty wings, but he could
get that little body up off the ground.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
Well, speaking of controversial Jews, Alan Dershowitz is unraveling whether
the Supreme Court will let Trump deport gang members. And
I can't believe that this is even being discussed.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
The crazy We have a law that makes entering the country,
you know, without permission illegal. It is a it's on
the books. It's not a suggestion, it is a written
down rule. You can't do that if you do your
criminal And now we're trying to decide whether we should

(14:11):
lock them up here or deport them at all, do anything, well,
any way to slow down the rush.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
Yesterday Alan Dershowitz was on with that Greta van Seustra
in check on Newsmax. It's hard to tell which is which,
but apparently Alan is the guy.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Okay, what's going to happen? Well, it's a close question.

Speaker 5 (14:31):
I mean, reasonable people can interpret the statute is including
a massive entry into the United States on the orders
of another country.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
It was a two to one decision.

Speaker 5 (14:42):
Nobody can predict what the Supreme Court will decide.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
I will make a prediction.

Speaker 5 (14:46):
However, in the end, the Trump administration will win the
right to deport Venezuelan gang members, either under some inherent authority,
under a different statute, or under a different interpretation of
this statute.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
So this is not a foregone conclusion.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
It's so weird how democrats are taking the side of
criminals on the screen. Here's what you're not seeing is
footage of the gang members they're talking about getting on
and off a plane.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Every one of them has a.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
Face covered with tattoos that clearly identify them as gang members.
Every one of these guys is a lengthy criminal record
that would make your mother cry if she had to
read in detail what they actually did to their victims.
And somehow these Obama appointed judges, these auto pen signature
appointed judges, still want these people in America.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
Why is it because these crimes aren't happening to them
and their family.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
Well, they live in a gated community, they may be.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
We ought to see if we can't get a little
more illegal criminal activity focused on some of these people.
These politicians that and the judges and the people that
want to protect them and leave them here.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
You know, it's interesting right now, compared to Trump's first term,
his polling numbers are much higher than they were at
this point. Sure in Trump point point z, so much better.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
It wasn't a politician at all when he became president,
and let's face it, he really didn't know the ins
and outs of Washington and how to play the game
as well. This time he does. And he has been
through a lot in the last eight years before he
got to this job.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
And we're smart enough to know that polling data is
just as good as you know the emptiness in your hand.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
It means almost nothing.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
But for the record, after sinking to an eleven year
low under Joe Biden, the average American's faith in the
economy in the direction the nation is actually back on
track and shooting higher than ever. New polling data today
from the McLaughlin and Associates National Survey, the percentage of
voters who believe the country is right on track has
jumped ten points since Inauguration Day. It's remarkable. You'd think

(16:47):
it would have gone down because after all, it's nothing
but NonStop TDS on the news cost all the time,
every day, and yet that's exactly what's not happening.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
I did notice that he mentioned specifically the Venezuelans that
could be shipped back. That looks to me like they
got two choices. Get on that plane or Trump will
blow you up. I was shocked at how many people
I know that didn't see the video yesterday of Trump.

(17:16):
I don't think he pulled the trigger himself, but he
gave the order to blow up was it eleven or
fourteen Venezuelan drug runners? And if you're upset about that,
which boom gone, problem solved.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
People are actually mad that he did that, though of
course they are. They're actually liberal cable TV news pundits
that are upset that we used military vehicles to blow
up a boat filled with gang members that were trafficking drugs.
If you happen to be one of those people, I
just got to point out here that that probably wouldn't
happened if you hadn't made it so difficult for us
to deport these guys.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
And now maybe the Venezuelans are chatting amongst themselves. Maybe
we got to get the hell out of here before
he does that to me. I hope he can get
to y'all.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
It would be fun to watch on TV, though I
would if that was a channel I could subscribe to.
Oh lord, how much would you pay for it? I'd
pay at least fifty bucks a months just to watch that.
When I'm bored, just watch gang members get blown up
by military vehicles.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Way better than whatever's on Amazon prem or something.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Just a bunch of garbage, man, Hello, Stay tuned for
more Waltman Johnson
