I wouldn't want a statue of a resistance hero that is not from Louisiana that didn't go to college to be built at a college in Louisiana either. So it is pathetic. You think even the MAGA people could see through this? It's so sad. Like in addition to this, he intervened at Loyola University right down the street from me here and is saying that the state is going to intervene because Loyola's campus rejected a TPUSA chapter. Again, I don't care about what the rules and regulations are around formation of clubs at private universities and neither should the governor. Okay, maybe Loyola should let the TPUSA people in. Maybe not. Maybe they filled out the paperwork wrong. I don't. Who cares? Who cares? That's a problem. It's an issue for the Loyola University student newspaper and for their Board of Regents and for the alums of that school. The governor of the state should not be interfering in a private university and forcing them to have a club, okay? That is not how things work in a free society. If there are people that don't want to go to Loyola because they're upset about this, they can go to other universities. There are plenty of universities in the country. People can choose to go there. Like there is no mandate from heaven in America. It's not like we're not in China where every university has to have a tribute to Chairman Xi in their quad. That's not how things work. Some universities are more conservative, some are more liberal. It's a pluralistic society. Jeff Landry, focus on something the fuck else. And to my point of why you should focus on something the fuck else. You know what else came out today amidst this whole furor where the governor of the state is like micromanaging a football coaching hire, attacking the athletic director of university, attacking a separate private university for their club policies demanding that statues be built to people who are not even from the state of mitzvah. He's doing all that. Here's another news item that I saw reading my local paper. There is a new wallet hub that it's new ranking of the states. Kind of how they're doing on a bunch of metrics. Economically, here's Louisiana. It comes to overall rank for job market strength and economic vitality. 49th, 49th 40th for job opportunities. 42nd for unemployment rate, 48th for median annual income, 50th for job security. Shout out to Louisiana. We do have one of the shortest work weeks that tracks. But like what, we're last in the country in job security. Louisiana is the governor should be the one worried about his job security. If what you're doing in the meantime is micromanaging the head coaching hire and the club accreditation and the statue building at colleges and trying to do the most that you can to get on the weekend Fox and Friends show. Okay, like you should be worried about your job security because that is what actually matters in the state. People having economic opportunity, people being able to get jobs. This is not a news item today, but just broadly speaking, if you look at Jeff Landry's record here, US News and World Report goes over a bunch of different categories, not just jobs. Overall ranking for Louisiana, 50th pop quiz. Jeff later. Do you know how many states there are in the country? Maybe not because you're trying to honor a college dropout at a College University, but 50 is the answer. We're 50th out of 50. Crime and corrections, 50th economy, 50th education 46th. Health care, 44th. Infrastructure 48th. That feels high. Opportunity 46th. Bottom, bottom, bottom, bottom, bottom. That's where we are in Louisiana. If you are overseeing this state where there is a crisis in the insurance market, where your crime is the worst in the country, where the economy is the worst in the country, if you're in charge of that state, then you should be Spending all of your time dialing in on how to make life in the state better for people, rather than distracting them with the shiny little object of, oh, we're gonna build a brown statue of this, of a political activist. Oh, I'm gonna go on TV and start shouting about trans people like, oh, I want to seem like a big, tough guy who's gonna, you know, be in charge of the football coaching hire. No, no, stop, stop. Jeff Landry. Try to make the state better for people. Okay, how about that? How about that? And if you are grading on football, if you're going to add all this, I should note that the last LSU football championship was in 2019, when John Bel Edwards, the Democrat, was the governor of the state. So you're even failing on that score. The final thing, when it comes to this crime, it is true that we're at the bottom of the crime rankings. And though a lot of the places where that crime is not here in New Orleans, there's huge crime issue in Shreveport and in Baton Rouge, other parts of the state. And so in order to deal with that, what Jeff Landry is saying that needs to be done is we have to send in the troops. Because Donald Trump likes to have do, like, kind of fascist cosplay. He wants to send in the troops and send guys in fatigues to, like, walk around Bourbon street and do selfies with drunk people. Like, that's the plan. So instead of actually, like, investing in our communities, investing in police, you know, investing in, you know, community engagement, investing in activities for after school, activities for youth so they're not getting into trouble. Right? Instead of doing that, like, what we're gonna do is have, like, guys in military costumes standing around the French Quarter having, like, depending on what their political persuasion is, people take drunk selfies with them or people drunkenly, like, moon themselves. Like, that's what's gonna be happening right now. Huge cost separating these people from their lives and their families are in the National Guard. And Jeff Landry's all in for that. Because whatever you want, Mr. Trump, I might even let you pick the football coach. It's just like, you have to laugh to not cry. It's so embarrassing. This governor in this state. And I gotta tell you, to my fellow Louisianans, just look at the numbers. If you're not happy about being last in the rankings and everything, hopefully, hopefully, you'll get unhappy if Jeff Landry costs us Lane Kiffin or Dan Lanning or another good football coach that can bring LSU another championship because he's meddling in it and thinks that him and Donald Trump are better suited to make that higher than the professionals. I mean hopefully that's a wake up call for everybody. Appreciate you guys sticking around for this one if you did. Otherwise it was just, maybe it was just for me to get off my chest and a couple of my buddies down here. Go Tigers, Louisiana. I should say one other thing. I love living in New Orleans and it's great for me. It's good for my family. People are great. The people here are so great. The people deserve better. The people deserve better because it's the people that are not as blessed as me who are suffering because of the bad leadership of this governor and it's those folks who are my neighbors and in my community who have welcomed us here who especially deserve better than Janky.
