really quickly we will bring in republican louisiana governor jeff landry joining us now. the harris/walz ticket. you tweeted that it's by far the most radical that the ticket is by far the most radical left in american history. your reaction as a republican governor to her pick >> -- is an integral team player of the current president who we know that those are the polities are absolutely filled american people, those are the policies that are the result of empty grocery shelves, utility bills, high gas prices, out-of-control inflation. and an extremely poor -- forest border that's killing 100,000 americans a year you the fentanyl crisis. and jumpy i just admitted she owns it, she owns her, her pick on that that everyone in the democrat party owns it. i mean, this is what the choice that the american people have. to they want to continue down this road of high inflationary costs, slow and anemic economic growth kathy america basically placed last on the world stage, or do they want a president in there that they know can reignite the american dream? it's that easy. >> mar

state senator, reconstruction, acting governor of louisiana during reconstruction. so that that that facet dating black leadership class is sort of positioned to challenge longstreet's on race. so now we come to the of the matter. i'm sorry for going on and on. here's the moment that that gordon has referred to in 1867, congress decides that johnson's reconstruction a disaster and that it's going to hit the reset button and implement its own plan. and congress's plan is is to put the south temporarily under military control to create a new body politic, a really truly democratic southern polity, by enfranchising african-american men so that they can participate in southern politics and asking the southern states to write new constitutions, to accept emancipation and so on is a series of conditions before they readmitted to the union, a new orleans paper asks james longstreet, what do you think of this congressional plan? he knows that vast majority of ex-confederate it's abjure and reject the congressional plan as radical, something that they they detest and will re

louisiana, charles, republican. good morning. caller: yes, sir. wanted to comment on the lady that was -- made the book on racism and i taught school for 30 years. my wife has alzheimer's now, but we talked when we talked that we had discipline in our classrooms and we taught all the kids. i don't care if they were black, hispanic, white or whatever. we treated them all the same and tried to educate them to the best of our ability. they had a saying when i was a kid that foolishness is bound in the heart of a child but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. that's written in the bible. and then there's other scriptures there that if we would go back to the bible, it tells us that we love our children when we discipline them. we want them to do what's right and not get in trouble. i think the family is breaking down. a lot of families with single mothers raising children. and the bible tells us to love each other and the man who said he couldn't get a job because of racism and he was well qualified, if we love one another, then we care

louisiana, let's vote for the right ones. and thank you for everything susan:. next is alyssa in new york, a democrat. caller: hi, i just want to say i was very excited, i was waiting to see joe biden speak. we have such a great democratic stage, so many great democratic leaders, aoc, jamie raskin, jasmine crockett, they all work so fantastic. i was elated, i just felt so great about everything happening , and we have a party of hope instead of a party of negativity , and the unions are behind us, and we should take it in 2024. susan: alyssa, thanks for your call. and alyssa will be our final color of night one of the democratic convention. thanks to all of you for watching tonight. tomorrow morning the conversation will continue on c-span's washington journal program, it begins at 7:00 a.m. eastern time, 6:00 a.m. local time here in chicago with your calls and with guests to talk about the rest of the week at the convention and what it means for the fall campaign. also a reminder that we will be here tomorrow night with live coverage, we will have a preview pro

the louisiana governor ordered the state militia to new orleans on november 10th, and the state militia arrived in the city thinking they were going to find riots, chaos. but they found a city at calm, at peace, in the dark. but people helping each other, feeding each other's families when they're not getting paid during this strike. the strike eventually ended, ended by mid-november of that year with employers agreeing to two of the strikers, most important demands. a ten hour work day, which was a treat back then. right. now, think of an eight hour work day as kind of the maximum limits. ten hour work day was what they were fighting for. right. and also overtime pay for the first time for many of these workers. but those in power continued to try to break the unions by separating again, white and black workers in the city. they tried through fear, through appeals to racial hatred, and by what in labor terms, is a practice called the race to the bottom. the race to the bottom. now the race to the bottom is a practice where the pay of a group of workers is cut in order to force competin

oh, down in louisiana, yesterday, the governor signed a law making louisiana the first state to requiree ten commandments be displayed in public classrooms. now, this is controversial, i understand that, but something finally had to be done to stop second graders from coveting their neighbors' wives. they've got to learn. the dumb law... [applause] and ass. and their neighbor's ass. this dumb law stupidly mandates that all public classrooms from k-12 must have a poster-sized display of the ten commandments in "large, easily readable font." oh, come on, everybody knows if you wanna make something accessible to kids, you don't put it in a big font. you put it on a hello kitty trapper keeper. this law... [applause] hello kitty fans! this law has already been challenged in court. opponents say that a state requiring a religious text in all classrooms would violate the establishment clause of the constitution. yes! classroom walls are not supposed to have the ten commandments on them. they're supposed to have times tables and u.s. presidents, and a poster that's been there since the '90s of

one of my favorite stories in the book is about the monks of the saint joseph abbey in louisiana. tell us their story. so this is a story about what what's called regulatory capture. all right. and one interesting phenomenon economists have observed is that when you create regulatory institutions that aren't democratically accountable immediately what happens? who's most interested in how that that agency works? it's going to be the people who it regulates. right. and that they will often wind up moving in and out of that agency and maybe even controlling or capturing the agency. and that they like to create barriers to entry that make it harder for other people to enter the market. okay. so we talk about that in the book and the story tells the monks of saint joseph's abbey in louisiana. they run the monastery. what do they have to do with the law? right. truth is, before hurricane katrina, they'd sell some trees. they live in a swamp. they sell some trees. and that's how they made their living. but after the hurricane, that was a problem. a lot of trees were gone. so they were l

people of louisiana buying what she's sellin'?well, jason, i -- i listened to the vice president's interview. i'm biased, i suppose, because i know her well. she's a nice person. i just don't agree with her. i had two reactions to her interview. unsurprised. unimpressed. i'm a pretty simple guy. i like breakfast food and straight answers. i didn't hear any straight answers from the vice president. what i heard her say basically was i do too have values and, if you don't like them, i have others. i thought she engaged in tier-one-level pandering. it was sort of like a wolf, promising to be a vegan if the sheep will just vote for it. now, look. in politics, as in life -- and you know this, jason -- talk is cheap. what you do is what you believe. what you do is what you believe. and everything else is just cottage cheese. as i said, i know the vice president well. i've served with her for seven and a half years. i know what she will do as president. she is a san francisco democrat. she is a card-carrying member of the loon wing of th
