Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, So Instagram has announced they want their employees
back in the office full time.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Now here's my question.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Does it really matter where they're working at they're just
gonna spend all day on Instagram exactly?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I mean, you work for a social media company, you
spend all day on social media anyway, It's almost like
you don't really have a job. Yeah, what's up with that?
Doing what you would do if you were home? Yeah,
what are you doing all day? Do you even know?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Not?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
They probably don't know. It's pathetic, same money, sad, isn't it?
All right? Are you excited about the jazzy announcement that's
coming Monday? Oh, we have no idea what she's gonna do,
but Jasmine Crockett said she's got a super secret and
exciting announcement to make on Monday. Now, separately, Monday is
also the date for the signing up to run for
(00:54):
the Congress.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Okay, I think, I think I know what the announcement is.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
How can you possibly know? Exactly? Right?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
It sounds like she's going to run for Senate, and
people in her own party are saying, don't do it.
You're just going to get a Republican elected. But to
those of you that understand how the Texas statewide elections work,
it doesn't look like there's enough Democrats in the state
right now for Jasmine Crockett to lose the election.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
For you know they're gonna lose anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Is the point doesn't matter if it's James Talerico or
Beto O'Rourke or calling already, it's not like why.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
They telling her don't do it, right, don't do it?
But her profile has never been high, you know, she
always in the news. Now was saying some kind of
crazy non same thing. So when's the better time? All right?
So when nobody ever heard of you, or when everybody's
talk about you.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
If she runs for Senate, then she can't run for
her seat in Congress any I think in that how
it works.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
They probably have special rules for you know, different people.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Oh, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know either. Yeah,
all right, kids, it's that time.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Jicked alf a plane, jacked Alpha plane. Here's some money,
got kicked al a plane. I hate that kind's voice. Yeah,
anything irritating. This report's brought to you by Oh, it's
brought to you by a good and I love the sponsor.
My Legacy Video dot Com. That's a website where you
can go and get yourself when the Legacy videos made.
You can make it about you. You can make it
(02:26):
about anybody in your family, somebody you know super special
and important. What if you had a family member that
was once notoriously kicked off a plane somewhere back in
their day. Have you already heard this report? I'm about
to tell you, and you didn't know it because nobody
bothered to get a Legacy video. So go to Mica
Legacy Video dot com and get you on.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
This is a really cool idea for a holiday gift
because some of you have family members who maybe don't
you know, ever get to meet their great grandfather. The
baby's too, grandpa's ninety eight. What are the odds they're
gonna have a relationship. It's a really cool idea for
the holidays. Legacy Video dot Com Today learn more. Okay,
today we take you to Canada. In fact, this news
story involves a grandfather and some young children. One of
(03:09):
Canada's largest budget airlines is under fire after an agent
tore up a family's boarding pass and falsely told an
elderly passenger he had no right to film after their
flight was bumped.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Really.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yeah, meet Jason Huang and him and his family were traveling.
That included his seventy three year old father, So there's
a big group of people with an elderly man. They
arrived at the Edmonton International Airport. This happened a little
while back at the end of summer. They were boarding
a West just Jet flight to Toronto. Apparently that's like
the Spirit Airlines of Canada.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Oh Lord, hilp them all. I'd never heard of it.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
But anyway, that's when they were told at the check
encounter that the plane they had booked was downsized and
that they would need to fly out several hours later
on a different plane. So Jason Hwang pressed the agent
out why his family had been bumped from their original flight.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah, we'll stall put that. No, they didn't give him.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
A clear answer, and he started to record the interaction
for a compensation claim. He took out his phone to
make sure that he had some record, documented proof that
this hand happened. And after he pulled out his phone
to record, one of the west Jet agents told him
he had no right to film and threatened to call
the police.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
It does sound like spirits for sure, okay, but it
was west Jet but similar, right, I heard you anyway,
the agent could be heard saying in the video, you're
not flying.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Actually the probably said it like a Canadian. Hey you're
not flying today. Hey, get your phone down. Eh.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
So that's when Jason offered them some gift cards for
some free poutine.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Uh no, no poutine. No no, which, by the way,
his French fries with gravy. Folks say he didn't say
anything dirty.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
And cheez, don't forget the cheeses.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Jason claims that an agent snatched his phone and tore
up the family's boarding passes during the tense back and
forth exchange.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Well what if he had the backup boarding passes on
his phone? Didn't They took his phone and his paper passes.
Oh no.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
So that's when his seventy three year old father tried
to record the incident, but suffered a swollen eye amid
a physical altercation.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
According to the report in The Post Today, imagine an
airline employee assaulting an elderly man because he was holding
a phone.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Anyway, it's an odd thing to have happened.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
A west Jet spokesperson told the CBC, that's your Canadian
Broadcast Company in a statement that the airline promptly investigated
the incident, apologized, and would conduct internal follow ups. Jason
said he applied for compensation through the air Passenger Protection regulations,
but oddly West Jet refused.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Really, now, it seems like the easiest way to fix
this problem is don't live in Canada. I think that
would have gone a lot better in America. No, I
don't think so. Now. These things happen in America all
the time, Billy, But at least you can get through
the courts in America. Sounds like Canada don't want to
hear by. Well, to your point.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
In Canada, they have something called the Canadian Transportation Agency,
and Jason did file a report with them. The incident
came to light after the budget Canadian Airline announced in
October that customers will no longer be able to recline
seats on an aircraft unless they pay extram So what, oh, yeah,
you got to put a quarter in the slot. You
gotta put a quarter in the slot. The carrier said,
(06:23):
it's updating the interiors. If it's Boeing seven thirty seven
eight Max and seven thirty seven eight hundred aircraft, as
part of a push for modern, more modern cabin experiences.
I guess the more modern cabin experiences. You can't recline
your seat what four inches? It's not much.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Oh, you can't do that unless you pay for it. Now,
they got a deal. I don't know if West dude it,
but Spirit dute is if you have two hundred dollars extra,
they'll let you fly a plane. Wow, that's nice. I
don't know anybody that's ever you know, opted for that,
because most people know they fly a plane and kill everybody.
But you could do it. That's the money, because Spirit
Airlines it's all about making that money. Honey. I kind
(07:00):
of want to do that. I want to fly a
Spirit Airlines blamed. And you know, if the other passengers
on board have a problem with that, well they should
have booked with a different airline, shouldn't they.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
All Right, if you're just waking up because your alarm
went off at eight am, we understand.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Just for those of you that are curious.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Matt van Epps defeated aften Ben last night in the
Tennessee special election. Kind of a big deal. Aften Ben lost,
and make no mistake, she's the median Democrat, a lunatic
radical progressive.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
And that's just your average nowadays that you know, being
a far left lunatic. That's the sweet spot for the
for the Democrat Party. Now.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Afton Ben may have lost the election, but she will
make a delightful hoa president. And since she openly hates
the community she lives, and she will be perfect for
that position.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
The truth.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
By the way, some of her greatest hits, as recorded
by the what her greatest hits, the things that she's
only got the two Billy it hits hi ts.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
No she was a performer, No she's not.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
We're looking at some of her accomplishments as documented by
local Nashville news outlets.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
This would be interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
She thinks that ice agents should be bullied. She's fantasized
about a world without police. She hates everything about Nashville,
she said it openly.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
The city. She hates the people, she hates the music,
she hates the parties and the clubs and the businesses. Oh,
she just hates it all.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
She thinks burning down police stations is justified. That's her,
that's her position. This is one of the craziest things
I've heard her say. Prayer prayer makes her uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Well, I'm sure yeah, maybe she's feeling the fires of
hell tickling her feet.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Oh my gosh, you guys, I cannot believe we've done this.
We have made a terrible mistake. There is something wrong
with our phone software and we have had I'm sorry, guys,
my screen is frozen.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Here.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Governor Landry has been waiting for eight minutes. Our phone
software was set.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
To the right, no idea and nobody. You'd think somebody
would have come running down the hall and burst through
the door and said, Governor's on the phone.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Our producer in the other room has been texting me,
but I had the software on my screen and the
software froze.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Govenor Leanry. I apologize. We did not know you were there.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
No, no, no, no, no apologies. I got to listen
to the show, was listen. I was comfortable just listening
to the great show about to be on hold again.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Well, for those that don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Did you stick me back on? That means I don't
have to do anything else but listen to y'all today.
That would be great. I've locked the door.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
That's pretty much my whole day. You're out there, hey,
since since no one's asked you about this.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Last night, Matt van Apps defeated often Ben in the
Tennessee special election. Any thoughts on that?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yeah, Look, I think I think there's a lot to
be said, and looking at at the voted turnout there,
I think that people need to remember that right now,
the left hates the president so much they're willing to
get off their couch and go vote, and so Republicans
need to staying that as we go into twenty twenty six.
If you want to keep the House and you want
(10:04):
to keep America moving in the in the in the
way that the President's moving it, which is to make
America great again, they're going to have to go vote.
Go vote. You have to get out and vote. You
vote counts and means a lot, and you got to
get up to college. Because the others hate America so
much that they're willing to elect candidates like the lady
(10:25):
up in Tennessee, the Democrat up there, I mean, I
mean Plaine, just leftist socialists that really want to turn
the country into, you know, a communist manifesto. We don't
want that, No, we don't want to be free.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
All right, The big news today is that after participating
with the federal government ICE agents in New York City,
crime and murder is down double jed digits, which is,
you know, not what a lot of people were hoping for.
As the Eric Adams Administration's heading out and Zorhan Mam
Donnie's heading in. He's not a big fan of coopera
(11:00):
reading with the federal government. In the meantime, in the
biggest city in your state, that would be New Orleans,
discussion of doing the same thing immigration crackdown in New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
What are your thoughts on that, Governor Landry.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
It's started today. It started today. We are going to
be targeting the worst and the worst criminal illegal aliens
that have broken the law here in Louisiana, and we're
gonna be taking them off the street. Here's what I
don't understand. Just so, everyday fugitive apprehension teams, whether from
the federal agencies or local agencies and state agencies go
(11:35):
out and take dangerous criminals off the street, right and everybody,
there's no big deal, there's no protests. Nobody's really protesting it. Well,
I guess maybe some on the four left do that
because they don't like the police. To begin with. But like,
it's really not a big deal. So we're those that
do not like Ice going in and doing what we're
doing in New Orleans, those that don't like what happened
(11:57):
in New York Chicago. What they're saying is that if
you came into this country illegally and then you've violated
our criminal statutes, that you somehow get a pass. You
somehow can do that, And that's okay. But average American citizens,
if they break our laws, they get arrested and they
go to jail. But if you in the country illegally
(12:17):
and you break our laws, what did you get a
free pass? Not In Louisiana, we got them down. We're
going to start it started to day and it's going
to run until we get them all off the street.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
But I think that's a great answer. I think it's
very reasonable.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
A lot of our listeners want to hear your take
on what is going on right now without last year football.
Can you hang with us for just one minute?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
More with Governor Landry and Justice Second Wolton L. Johnson.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Here's something you won't hear in the mainstream media. And
I think it's very important for people to understand everything
isn't bad right now. I know that's radical, and everyone's
not going to tell you that. In fact, can we
talk about Louisiana for just a minute.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I think we kind of have to. I don't know
if you knew this or not, but the Governor of
Louisiana's on hold.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Okay, well I want to this. I think is my
intro that actually enjoys being on hold. Seventy billion dollars
in new investments in Louisiana in the past year or
so Meta Hyundai for the first time in thirty years.
The Louisiana population is going up, not down, thirty thousand
net games. The Governor's Coalition for Energy Security just added
(13:20):
members from New Hampshire, South Dakota, Ontario, and apparently they're
going to be making some big investments in Louisiana's oil
and gas dominance.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
That's exciting. Sound like you threw some Canada in there.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Well, that those states are now coming down to do business,
and we'll.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Forget where the Cajuns are originally from. Canada. Okay, yeah,
but their food isn't good. Yeah, I came down here
and got good on the line.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Right now, Governor Landry of Louisiana. A lot of exciting news.
You just heard us share some of it. And I
do not hear the media talking about this. All we
hear is gloom and doom all the time. But actually
things are a lot better than we've been told, true
or false.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Oh we're doing great, we do a great. Look at
dommy got elected that you know they elected at communist
up there in New York. We took out a full
Louisiana took out a full page ad in a World
Street Journal a couple of weeks ago that said, in Louisiana,
we value capitalism, not socialism. We reward success, not punish it.
We compete not complain. I mean, we just put it
all out there and just said, look, if if you
(14:20):
don't want to live under that type of ttalitarian socialist rule,
that you bring your business to Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
There you go. All right.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
New mayor of New Orleans, Helena Moreno, not a ton
of coverage on this, but she has described her relationship
with you as quote good working, professional relationship. I'm sure
everybody listening to us who knows who LaToya Cantrelley is due.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Now my question about the mayor elect though, is how
does she feel about the National Guard coming in because
mayors of different cities in different states are either very
happy to welcome them or they're telling their citizenry to revolt.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Yeah. Look, I don't know, I mean she has I
don't know that she's really commented on it. It really
doesn't matter. The Guard's going down to New Orleans. The
President yesterday said it. I spoke to him a couple
of days ago. We're bringing them back in uh to,
you know, to get that that that city under control.
That's why those ICE agents are down there and their
work started today. I mean, look, we we did a
great deal of dropping violent crime in New Orleans right
(15:27):
after I became governor, and we brought any brand new
troop NOLA. I think that the Mara elect supports that.
I think the people of the city are supporting making
the city safe. Look, it's only the lunatics that want
to live in a dangerous place. I mean, who wants
to do that. Who wants to live in a dangerous community?
You know, who wants to be carjacked or shot at
or watch their neighbor murders. I mean, I mean it's insane.
(15:50):
And so again, we're just doubling down and making New
Orleans safe. We're gonna be bringing the guard in. We've
got ice going in there, taking the violent, illegal immigran
It's off of our streets, and the statistics prove it.
I mean, y'all should see Washington, DC right now. I
don't know if any of y'all have traveled there in
the last month or so, but I mean the place
(16:11):
is demonstrably different than it was six months ago. It's
a lot safer than it was six months ago. Y'all
read out the statistics in New York City about how
much safer it is. It only makes sense that when
you take dangerous people off the streets, the streets would
come safe. I know. I mean it's hard to you
know what kind of process.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
She ain't gonna be mayor for another month. They might
be out of there in the month. I don't know
how much food even if by this time next month,
in early January, I think we're gonna have a little
track record and say here's what they've accomplished. Yeah, I
don't know if she'd go up against.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
That or not.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Now the really important stuff talk to me about Lane Kiffin.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Yeah, obviously, that's the big news. Everybody wants. Crime going
down is nice, but obviously college football, I think is
the main priority of month.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Care give us the latest.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Look, we want crime to go down and and LSU's
rankings to go up.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Right.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Look, I mean we took a lot of heat over
the last you know, two or three weeks, as you know,
when we made a change in the coaching over at
LSU's football program, and we were able to lane to
basically land Lane Kiffin, which I think is just an
unbelievable fit. He's gonna do a great job. There's so
(17:32):
much excitement, not only around the city but around the
state as well. You saw the press conference. I mean, look,
I think that this guy is going to take l
s U and place them back on the map. Really do.
I mean, I'm excited the guys, it's gonna be great,
be great. The folks that don't miss a little upset,
but yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
They're gonna get over it or not. But one of
the things I've heard is now they might be considering
coach Oh as the new defensive line coach l s U.
Or he might be the head coach replacement at Tulane.
I don't know how that's gonna work.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Look, y'all know, I like Coach O. I can understand him.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah, you's my language. I love it. Coacho would be
on it as I think as offensive coach. I mean,
at the very least. I think there's a lot of
people that would just want to come out and see
him out there on the field.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
That won't it be weird to hear him say go
green wave, Yeah you talk. No, I don't. I doesn't.
That doesn't fit.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Well. The good news is, the good news is you'll
talk about moving people back to the state Louisiana. And
I'm happy to report Coach O has moved is moving
back to Louisiana. So you see, all right, he probably
got to people that, yeah, we're chalking up another person
back in the state. I'm so glad to have him
back in.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
And I don't think he'll be a burden to the taxpayers.
That'll be nice.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
No no, no, no, no, not at all. No, no,
But we welcome him back. I mean, it's great. Look,
there's gonna be a lot of excitement. It's gonna give
us a lot to talk about about LSU over the
next year and into football seas. Hey. Look, maybe we'll
have y'all come in. You can do maybe a special
Walton Johnson show. Maybe a Friday morning before the LSU
Tiger game, a home game where link if it is
(19:19):
going to be playing, We've got all kind of fun.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Probably could probably need to set that up. Yeah, let's
do that, all right, all.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Right, Kenny, can I put it down?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
I'm in, Yeah, col me in Governor Landry before we
let you go, And we appreciate you hanging with us
a little extra long this morning. It's Christmas time. You
know that is a big deal to our listeners. This
is definitely a pro Christmas audience.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
You're not gonna ask him for a synthesizer or you No,
I don't.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
I've got enough synthesizers. I don't think Governor Landry has.
We love Jesus around here. You know, the world ain't perfect,
but we need more God. And we're just curious. How
are you guys celebrating Christmas at the Governor's mansion this year?
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Oh well, we'll be going to church on on on
Christmas Eve like we normally do, and we're gonna be
celebrating it with friends and fa I mean, just you know,
we invite anyone and everyone to enjoy Thanksgiving in Christmas
with us. It's a special time for me. You know,
my birthday's two days before Christmas. My mom always said
she really enjoyed being in the hospital, so she did
(20:14):
have to wrap presence or cook all two days Christians.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
That's a nice way to look at it, all right.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
And Governor Landry, obviously you are a Catholic, if I'm
not mistaken. Saint Mary Magdalene is that? And you know,
I know you. You grew up Catholic, You've always been
a Catholic. And I'm sure we love all Christian sex
and denominations except the Methodist.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Right well, Jesus is the reason for the season.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
There you go, flying out of this.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
I don't plan them for doing it. Hey, Covinor Landry,
thank you so much for your time this morning. Merry Christmas, brother,
thank you, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Though you have stolen my dreams in my childhood with
your empty words, stay tuned for more. Waltman Johnson
All right, So Instagram has announced they want their employees
back in the office full time.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Now here's my question.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Does it really matter where they're working at they're just
gonna spend all day on Instagram exactly?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I mean, you work for a social media company, you
spend all day on social media anyway, It's almost like
you don't really have a job. Yeah, what's up with that?
Doing what you would do if you were home? Yeah,
what are you doing all day? Do you even know?
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Not?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
They probably don't know. It's pathetic, same money, sad, isn't it?
All right? Are you excited about the jazzy announcement that's
coming Monday? Oh, we have no idea what she's gonna do,
but Jasmine Crockett said she's got a super secret and
exciting announcement to make on Monday. Now, separately, Monday is
also the date for the signing up to run for
(00:54):
the Congress.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Okay, I think, I think I know what the announcement is.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
How can you possibly know? Exactly? Right?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
It sounds like she's going to run for Senate, and
people in her own party are saying, don't do it.
You're just going to get a Republican elected. But to
those of you that understand how the Texas statewide elections work,
it doesn't look like there's enough Democrats in the state
right now for Jasmine Crockett to lose the election.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
For you know they're gonna lose anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Is the point doesn't matter if it's James Talerico or
Beto O'Rourke or calling already, it's not like why.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
They telling her don't do it, right, don't do it?
But her profile has never been high, you know, she
always in the news. Now was saying some kind of
crazy non same thing. So when's the better time? All right?
So when nobody ever heard of you, or when everybody's
talk about you.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
If she runs for Senate, then she can't run for
her seat in Congress any I think in that how
it works.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
They probably have special rules for you know, different people.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Oh, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know either. Yeah,
all right, kids, it's that time.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Jicked alf a plane, jacked Alpha plane. Here's some money,
got kicked al a plane. I hate that kind's voice. Yeah,
anything irritating. This report's brought to you by Oh, it's
brought to you by a good and I love the sponsor.
My Legacy Video dot Com. That's a website where you
can go and get yourself when the Legacy videos made.
You can make it about you. You can make it
(02:26):
about anybody in your family, somebody you know super special
and important. What if you had a family member that
was once notoriously kicked off a plane somewhere back in
their day. Have you already heard this report? I'm about
to tell you, and you didn't know it because nobody
bothered to get a Legacy video. So go to Mica
Legacy Video dot com and get you on.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
This is a really cool idea for a holiday gift
because some of you have family members who maybe don't
you know, ever get to meet their great grandfather. The
baby's too, grandpa's ninety eight. What are the odds they're
gonna have a relationship. It's a really cool idea for
the holidays. Legacy Video dot Com Today learn more. Okay,
today we take you to Canada. In fact, this news
story involves a grandfather and some young children. One of
(03:09):
Canada's largest budget airlines is under fire after an agent
tore up a family's boarding pass and falsely told an
elderly passenger he had no right to film after their
flight was bumped.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Really.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yeah, meet Jason Huang and him and his family were traveling.
That included his seventy three year old father, So there's
a big group of people with an elderly man. They
arrived at the Edmonton International Airport. This happened a little
while back at the end of summer. They were boarding
a West just Jet flight to Toronto. Apparently that's like
the Spirit Airlines of Canada.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Oh Lord, hilp them all. I'd never heard of it.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
But anyway, that's when they were told at the check
encounter that the plane they had booked was downsized and
that they would need to fly out several hours later
on a different plane. So Jason Hwang pressed the agent
out why his family had been bumped from their original flight.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah, we'll stall put that. No, they didn't give him.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
A clear answer, and he started to record the interaction
for a compensation claim. He took out his phone to
make sure that he had some record, documented proof that
this hand happened. And after he pulled out his phone
to record, one of the west Jet agents told him
he had no right to film and threatened to call
the police.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
It does sound like spirits for sure, okay, but it
was west Jet but similar, right, I heard you anyway,
the agent could be heard saying in the video, you're
not flying.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Actually the probably said it like a Canadian. Hey you're
not flying today. Hey, get your phone down. Eh.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
So that's when Jason offered them some gift cards for
some free poutine.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Uh no, no poutine. No no, which, by the way,
his French fries with gravy. Folks say he didn't say
anything dirty.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
And cheez, don't forget the cheeses.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Jason claims that an agent snatched his phone and tore
up the family's boarding passes during the tense back and
forth exchange.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Well what if he had the backup boarding passes on
his phone? Didn't They took his phone and his paper passes.
Oh no.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
So that's when his seventy three year old father tried
to record the incident, but suffered a swollen eye amid
a physical altercation.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
According to the report in The Post Today, imagine an
airline employee assaulting an elderly man because he was holding
a phone.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Anyway, it's an odd thing to have happened.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
A west Jet spokesperson told the CBC, that's your Canadian
Broadcast Company in a statement that the airline promptly investigated
the incident, apologized, and would conduct internal follow ups. Jason
said he applied for compensation through the air Passenger Protection regulations,
but oddly West Jet refused.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Really, now, it seems like the easiest way to fix
this problem is don't live in Canada. I think that
would have gone a lot better in America. No, I
don't think so. Now. These things happen in America all
the time, Billy, But at least you can get through
the courts in America. Sounds like Canada don't want to
hear by. Well, to your point.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
In Canada, they have something called the Canadian Transportation Agency,
and Jason did file a report with them. The incident
came to light after the budget Canadian Airline announced in
October that customers will no longer be able to recline
seats on an aircraft unless they pay extram So what, oh, yeah,
you got to put a quarter in the slot. You
gotta put a quarter in the slot. The carrier said,
(06:23):
it's updating the interiors. If it's Boeing seven thirty seven
eight Max and seven thirty seven eight hundred aircraft, as
part of a push for modern, more modern cabin experiences.
I guess the more modern cabin experiences. You can't recline
your seat what four inches? It's not much.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Oh, you can't do that unless you pay for it. Now,
they got a deal. I don't know if West dude it,
but Spirit dute is if you have two hundred dollars extra,
they'll let you fly a plane. Wow, that's nice. I
don't know anybody that's ever you know, opted for that,
because most people know they fly a plane and kill everybody.
But you could do it. That's the money, because Spirit
Airlines it's all about making that money. Honey. I kind
(07:00):
of want to do that. I want to fly a
Spirit Airlines blamed. And you know, if the other passengers
on board have a problem with that, well they should
have booked with a different airline, shouldn't they.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
All Right, if you're just waking up because your alarm
went off at eight am, we understand.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Just for those of you that are curious.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Matt van Epps defeated aften Ben last night in the
Tennessee special election. Kind of a big deal. Aften Ben lost,
and make no mistake, she's the median Democrat, a lunatic
radical progressive.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
And that's just your average nowadays that you know, being
a far left lunatic. That's the sweet spot for the
for the Democrat Party. Now.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Afton Ben may have lost the election, but she will
make a delightful hoa president. And since she openly hates
the community she lives, and she will be perfect for
that position.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
The truth.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
By the way, some of her greatest hits, as recorded
by the what her greatest hits, the things that she's
only got the two Billy it hits hi ts.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
No she was a performer, No she's not.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
We're looking at some of her accomplishments as documented by
local Nashville news outlets.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
This would be interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
She thinks that ice agents should be bullied. She's fantasized
about a world without police. She hates everything about Nashville,
she said it openly.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
The city. She hates the people, she hates the music,
she hates the parties and the clubs and the businesses. Oh,
she just hates it all.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
She thinks burning down police stations is justified. That's her,
that's her position. This is one of the craziest things
I've heard her say. Prayer prayer makes her uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Well, I'm sure yeah, maybe she's feeling the fires of
hell tickling her feet.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Oh my gosh, you guys, I cannot believe we've done this.
We have made a terrible mistake. There is something wrong
with our phone software and we have had I'm sorry, guys,
my screen is frozen.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Here.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Governor Landry has been waiting for eight minutes. Our phone
software was set.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
To the right, no idea and nobody. You'd think somebody
would have come running down the hall and burst through
the door and said, Governor's on the phone.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Our producer in the other room has been texting me,
but I had the software on my screen and the
software froze.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Govenor Leanry. I apologize. We did not know you were there.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
No, no, no, no, no apologies. I got to listen
to the show, was listen. I was comfortable just listening
to the great show about to be on hold again.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Well, for those that don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Did you stick me back on? That means I don't
have to do anything else but listen to y'all today.
That would be great. I've locked the door.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
That's pretty much my whole day. You're out there, hey,
since since no one's asked you about this.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Last night, Matt van Apps defeated often Ben in the
Tennessee special election. Any thoughts on that?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Yeah, Look, I think I think there's a lot to
be said, and looking at at the voted turnout there,
I think that people need to remember that right now,
the left hates the president so much they're willing to
get off their couch and go vote, and so Republicans
need to staying that as we go into twenty twenty six.
If you want to keep the House and you want
(10:04):
to keep America moving in the in the in the
way that the President's moving it, which is to make
America great again, they're going to have to go vote.
Go vote. You have to get out and vote. You
vote counts and means a lot, and you got to
get up to college. Because the others hate America so
much that they're willing to elect candidates like the lady
(10:25):
up in Tennessee, the Democrat up there, I mean, I
mean Plaine, just leftist socialists that really want to turn
the country into, you know, a communist manifesto. We don't
want that, No, we don't want to be free.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
All right, The big news today is that after participating
with the federal government ICE agents in New York City,
crime and murder is down double jed digits, which is,
you know, not what a lot of people were hoping for.
As the Eric Adams Administration's heading out and Zorhan Mam
Donnie's heading in. He's not a big fan of coopera
(11:00):
reading with the federal government. In the meantime, in the
biggest city in your state, that would be New Orleans,
discussion of doing the same thing immigration crackdown in New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
What are your thoughts on that, Governor Landry.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
It's started today. It started today. We are going to
be targeting the worst and the worst criminal illegal aliens
that have broken the law here in Louisiana, and we're
gonna be taking them off the street. Here's what I
don't understand. Just so, everyday fugitive apprehension teams, whether from
the federal agencies or local agencies and state agencies go
(11:35):
out and take dangerous criminals off the street, right and everybody,
there's no big deal, there's no protests. Nobody's really protesting it. Well,
I guess maybe some on the four left do that
because they don't like the police. To begin with. But like,
it's really not a big deal. So we're those that
do not like Ice going in and doing what we're
doing in New Orleans, those that don't like what happened
(11:57):
in New York Chicago. What they're saying is that if
you came into this country illegally and then you've violated
our criminal statutes, that you somehow get a pass. You
somehow can do that, And that's okay. But average American citizens,
if they break our laws, they get arrested and they
go to jail. But if you in the country illegally
(12:17):
and you break our laws, what did you get a
free pass? Not In Louisiana, we got them down. We're
going to start it started to day and it's going
to run until we get them all off the street.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
But I think that's a great answer. I think it's
very reasonable.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
A lot of our listeners want to hear your take
on what is going on right now without last year football.
Can you hang with us for just one minute?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
More with Governor Landry and Justice Second Wolton L. Johnson.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Here's something you won't hear in the mainstream media. And
I think it's very important for people to understand everything
isn't bad right now. I know that's radical, and everyone's
not going to tell you that. In fact, can we
talk about Louisiana for just a minute.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I think we kind of have to. I don't know
if you knew this or not, but the Governor of
Louisiana's on hold.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Okay, well I want to this. I think is my
intro that actually enjoys being on hold. Seventy billion dollars
in new investments in Louisiana in the past year or
so Meta Hyundai for the first time in thirty years.
The Louisiana population is going up, not down, thirty thousand
net games. The Governor's Coalition for Energy Security just added
(13:20):
members from New Hampshire, South Dakota, Ontario, and apparently they're
going to be making some big investments in Louisiana's oil
and gas dominance.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
That's exciting. Sound like you threw some Canada in there.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Well, that those states are now coming down to do business,
and we'll.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Forget where the Cajuns are originally from. Canada. Okay, yeah,
but their food isn't good. Yeah, I came down here
and got good on the line.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Right now, Governor Landry of Louisiana. A lot of exciting news.
You just heard us share some of it. And I
do not hear the media talking about this. All we
hear is gloom and doom all the time. But actually
things are a lot better than we've been told, true
or false.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Oh we're doing great, we do a great. Look at
dommy got elected that you know they elected at communist
up there in New York. We took out a full
Louisiana took out a full page ad in a World
Street Journal a couple of weeks ago that said, in Louisiana,
we value capitalism, not socialism. We reward success, not punish it.
We compete not complain. I mean, we just put it
all out there and just said, look, if if you
(14:20):
don't want to live under that type of ttalitarian socialist rule,
that you bring your business to Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
There you go. All right.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
New mayor of New Orleans, Helena Moreno, not a ton
of coverage on this, but she has described her relationship
with you as quote good working, professional relationship. I'm sure
everybody listening to us who knows who LaToya Cantrelley is due.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Now my question about the mayor elect though, is how
does she feel about the National Guard coming in because
mayors of different cities in different states are either very
happy to welcome them or they're telling their citizenry to revolt.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Yeah. Look, I don't know, I mean she has I
don't know that she's really commented on it. It really
doesn't matter. The Guard's going down to New Orleans. The
President yesterday said it. I spoke to him a couple
of days ago. We're bringing them back in uh to,
you know, to get that that that city under control.
That's why those ICE agents are down there and their
work started today. I mean, look, we we did a
great deal of dropping violent crime in New Orleans right
(15:27):
after I became governor, and we brought any brand new
troop NOLA. I think that the Mara elect supports that.
I think the people of the city are supporting making
the city safe. Look, it's only the lunatics that want
to live in a dangerous place. I mean, who wants
to do that. Who wants to live in a dangerous community?
You know, who wants to be carjacked or shot at
or watch their neighbor murders. I mean, I mean it's insane.
(15:50):
And so again, we're just doubling down and making New
Orleans safe. We're gonna be bringing the guard in. We've
got ice going in there, taking the violent, illegal immigran
It's off of our streets, and the statistics prove it.
I mean, y'all should see Washington, DC right now. I
don't know if any of y'all have traveled there in
the last month or so, but I mean the place
(16:11):
is demonstrably different than it was six months ago. It's
a lot safer than it was six months ago. Y'all
read out the statistics in New York City about how
much safer it is. It only makes sense that when
you take dangerous people off the streets, the streets would
come safe. I know. I mean it's hard to you
know what kind of process.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
She ain't gonna be mayor for another month. They might
be out of there in the month. I don't know
how much food even if by this time next month,
in early January, I think we're gonna have a little
track record and say here's what they've accomplished. Yeah, I
don't know if she'd go up against.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
That or not.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Now the really important stuff talk to me about Lane Kiffin.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Yeah, obviously, that's the big news. Everybody wants. Crime going
down is nice, but obviously college football, I think is
the main priority of month.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Care give us the latest.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Look, we want crime to go down and and LSU's
rankings to go up.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Right.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Look, I mean we took a lot of heat over
the last you know, two or three weeks, as you know,
when we made a change in the coaching over at
LSU's football program, and we were able to lane to
basically land Lane Kiffin, which I think is just an
unbelievable fit. He's gonna do a great job. There's so
(17:32):
much excitement, not only around the city but around the
state as well. You saw the press conference. I mean, look,
I think that this guy is going to take l
s U and place them back on the map. Really do.
I mean, I'm excited the guys, it's gonna be great,
be great. The folks that don't miss a little upset,
but yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
They're gonna get over it or not. But one of
the things I've heard is now they might be considering
coach Oh as the new defensive line coach l s U.
Or he might be the head coach replacement at Tulane.
I don't know how that's gonna work.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Look, y'all know, I like Coach O. I can understand him.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah, you's my language. I love it. Coacho would be
on it as I think as offensive coach. I mean,
at the very least. I think there's a lot of
people that would just want to come out and see
him out there on the field.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
That won't it be weird to hear him say go
green wave, Yeah you talk. No, I don't. I doesn't.
That doesn't fit.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Well. The good news is, the good news is you'll
talk about moving people back to the state Louisiana. And
I'm happy to report Coach O has moved is moving
back to Louisiana. So you see, all right, he probably
got to people that, yeah, we're chalking up another person
back in the state. I'm so glad to have him
back in.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
And I don't think he'll be a burden to the taxpayers.
That'll be nice.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
No no, no, no, no, not at all. No, no,
But we welcome him back. I mean, it's great. Look,
there's gonna be a lot of excitement. It's gonna give
us a lot to talk about about LSU over the
next year and into football seas. Hey. Look, maybe we'll
have y'all come in. You can do maybe a special
Walton Johnson show. Maybe a Friday morning before the LSU
Tiger game, a home game where link if it is
(19:19):
going to be playing, We've got all kind of fun.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Probably could probably need to set that up. Yeah, let's
do that, all right, all.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Right, Kenny, can I put it down?
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
I'm in, Yeah, col me in Governor Landry before we
let you go, And we appreciate you hanging with us
a little extra long this morning. It's Christmas time. You
know that is a big deal to our listeners. This
is definitely a pro Christmas audience.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
You're not gonna ask him for a synthesizer or you No,
I don't.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
I've got enough synthesizers. I don't think Governor Landry has.
We love Jesus around here. You know, the world ain't perfect,
but we need more God. And we're just curious. How
are you guys celebrating Christmas at the Governor's mansion this year?
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Oh well, we'll be going to church on on on
Christmas Eve like we normally do, and we're gonna be
celebrating it with friends and fa I mean, just you know,
we invite anyone and everyone to enjoy Thanksgiving in Christmas
with us. It's a special time for me. You know,
my birthday's two days before Christmas. My mom always said
she really enjoyed being in the hospital, so she did
(20:14):
have to wrap presence or cook all two days Christians.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
That's a nice way to look at it, all right.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
And Governor Landry, obviously you are a Catholic, if I'm
not mistaken. Saint Mary Magdalene is that? And you know,
I know you. You grew up Catholic, You've always been
a Catholic. And I'm sure we love all Christian sex
and denominations except the Methodist.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Right well, Jesus is the reason for the season.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
There you go, flying out of this.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
I don't plan them for doing it. Hey, Covinor Landry,
thank you so much for your time this morning. Merry Christmas, brother,
thank you, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Though you have stolen my dreams in my childhood with
your empty words, stay tuned for more. Waltman Johnson

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
