Episode Details

Hold onto your seat—this episode dives into the high-stakes world of Louisiana politics with Senator Valerie Hodges. Tune in to hear about the fiery battle over SB 226 -- her bill that would have protected military property from foreign influence. Senator Hodges doesn't hold back. She reveals what really happened behind closed doors on this bill and others during the recent legislative session—and why some reforms passed while others hit a wall.

Are foreign adversaries buying land near U.S. bases? What's broken in DOTD contracting? And why is election security still under fire? Plus, a surprising push for legislative accountability that could shake things up in Baton Rouge.

This isn't a recap—it's a glimpse behind the curtain, full of passion, principle, and political grit.
