We break down the exploding growth of AI data centers and why neighbors are shouting “not in my backyard!” even as the numbers tell a different story. Do these massive facilities really spike energy bills and drain local water supplies — or could they actually lower costs thanks to the huge surge in power infrastructure they fund? From Bill Gates quietly backing off the climate panic to towns like Shreveport eyeing data-center money to overhaul crumbling water systems, we dig into the clash between fear, facts, and the future of American tech dominance. A big-picture look at AI, power, water, prosperity — and why a rising tide might lift more than just servers.

Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. 

• ICE has begun a new immigration sweep in Louisiana dubbed Catahoula Crunch, targeting illegal aliens who were released from jail due to local sanctuary city policies in place in New Orleans.
  
• The ACLU is suing the state of Louisiana over a new law that was designed to protect federal law enforcement officers.
  
• Saronic Technologies is investing $300 million into it's ship manufacturing plant in Franklin, Louisiana.

  The ACLU says a brand-new Louisiana law—one that simply says “don’t interfere with federal law enforcement”—is somehow a First Amendment crisis. Really? We break down why shouting, filming, and holding signs is fine… but physically blocking ICE officers is not “free speech,” it’s obstruction. And the ACLU’s argument? Let’s just say… it doesn’t hold up.
  
  We pick up the phone and dial up Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy, fresh off a visit to the White House with President Trump. Cassidy talks about the newly reauthorized SUPPORT Act, how it targets addiction and mental-health crises, why treating demand matters as much as cracking down on cartels, and how accountability keeps real help from turning into more government waste. 
  
  Nancy Landry just dropped a new explainer video on YouTube—walking voters through the big switch to closed primaries. And look, the concept isn’t rocket science: Republicans vote in the Republican primary, Democrats vote in the Democratic primary. That’s it. Mystery solved. But why does it matter? Because closing a primary shuts the door on the political mischief—no more one party sneaking in to pick the other party’s nominee. No Democrats helping choose a RINO, no Republicans gaming the Democratic slate. The party’s voters choose the party’s candidate. Period. The legislature watered the bill down, sure—but it still hits several major offices. And for a state that’s been the oddball with its jungle primary system, this is a big shift. We’ll tell you what’s changing, what’s not, and where to watch Landry’s “Go Vote” video so you don’t get caught off guard.

  U.S. oil production just jumped again—up 44,000 barrels a day in September—and we are now pumping nearly 14 million barrels per day, the highest output in American history. That’s right: a brand-new record. Drill, baby, drill isn’t a slogan right now… it’s a scoreboard. We’ll break down how production cratered after Biden’s freeze on exports and drilling, why we lost the energy independence Donald Trump delivered, and how we’re finally clawing our way back toward it. And yes—gas prices slipping below $3 nationwide? There’s a reason for that: supply matters.

We react to the uproar in New Orleans as protesters hit the streets chanting against ICE and Operation Swamp Sweep. Their message? “Immigrants are welcome here.” But this fight isn't about immigrants. It’s about illegal re-entry, ignored deportation orders, criminal fugitives, and a federal sweep targeting people who’ve already had their day in court.

We dig into the heart of the clash: activists framing enforcement as cruelty, communities struggling under the weight of illegal labor and lowered wages, and the hard truth about children trafficked across the border and quietly disappearing into the shadows. Meanwhile, families who followed the rules—and the citizens whose neighborhoods, jobs, and safety are on the line—barely make it into the conversation.

• Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry says the National Guard Deployment in New Orleans should begin within the next two weeks.
• The New Orleans City Council approved its 2026 budget.
• The proposed I-49 Intercity Connector project has been delayed once again.

We take a look at a growing epidemic in Louisiana’s cities: government buildings falling apart while politicians line up to build brand-new ones. We're sounding the alarm on a throw-away culture inside local governments—leaky roofs, crumbling facilities, zero accountability, and a long trail of shiny new projects nobody bothers to maintain. 

Shreveport city council candidate Tim Euler steps into the studio with a blunt message: the city’s running out of time. Crime’s spiking, the budget’s bloated, and leaders are still acting like maintenance is optional. Euler lays out his pitch—fiscal discipline, asking for help when needed, and rebuilding pride in a city where even scenic routes have become danger zones.

We dig into the political knife-fight brewing in Louisiana, where ICE’s “Operation Swamp Sweep” isn’t the only thing stirring the mud. We break down the escalating feud between Governor Jeff Landry and Insurance Commissioner Tim Temple—a rivalry so tense you’d think the two were circling each other in the same gator-infested marsh. Temple has openly questioned where things “went wrong” with the governor—and then drops the hammer: accusing Landry of siding with trial lawyers while blocking real insurance reform. We lay out the receipts, from private flights to Texas hunting lodges to vetoes that raised eyebrows among conservatives. 

The takeaway? When the governor and the insurance commissioner are at war, everybody in Louisiana loses. And with insurance rates crushing families, the last thing the state needs is two Republican heavyweights tearing each other apart instead of fixing the crisis voters elected them to solve.

The idea that “once we hand over the dollars, we’re done” is absolute nonsense. Any elected official who says that is either delusional or hoping you are. And we've got the perfect case study: New Orleans. Exhibit A in how not to run a city. The New Orleans City Council has been hammered—rightfully—over that big, ugly budget deficit. And yes, Mayor LaToya Cantrell deserves the largest slice of that blame pie. But here’s what should make every taxpayer’s blood boil: when they passed the 2026 budget, the council suddenly discovered they could cut $150 million and magically “find” another $75 million in so-called new...
