Full Show 7/16/2026: America is so fortunate that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz never became the Vice President

On today's show, Newell addresses Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, along with the state's Board of Pardons, granting a pardon to Tou Lue Vang, a 42-year-old Laotian national convicted of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officially deported Tou Lue Vang to Laos shortly after the state's Board of Pardons voted to grant him clemency. Then, Newell has on Jefferson Parish President Cynthia Lee Sheng to discuss her advocacy for FEMA reform on Capital Hill, Larissa Littleton Steib, Dr. Stacy Welcome, and Nicole Labat of Delgado Community College to discuss Delgado’s Super Saturday, a one-stop opportunity for prospective and returning students to apply, register for classes, meet with advisors, complete financial aid requirements, and get everything in place before the fall semester begins, and Rafael Goyeneche, President of the Metropolitan Crime Commission, to discuss the NOPD district-level crime trends from 2022 through 2026, Leon Cannizzaro’s Judiciary Commission appointment, and the latest developments in Attorney General Liz Murrill’s grand jury investigation.
