Bobby Jindal

...

Jeet, Jeet is, you, i- is, uh, as commonly applied is not applied to, like, Bobby Jindal, if he's, that guy is still around.

Is that guy still around? Um-

He's pretty old by now, but yeah.

... primarily on, you know, scientific achievements, pr- you know, for lack of a better term.

Okay.

Well, I mean, they did send us Rehan Salaam and, uh, Bobby Jindal [laughs] as you mentioned earlier.

All right.

I, I, I had, uh, had watched him speak to some, some people and he made that so clear, that people think, "Oh, I'll just vote in the general election," or, "I'll just vote...

I'll go to the ballot," or, "I'll fill out my, my ballot and I'll just vote for president," or, "I'll just vote for governor," not knowing that in the grand scheme of things, the governor or the president doesn't have all that massive power over you as much as your local government does.

And boy, we, I learned that during COVID as well, being a church, where our local government and county leaders, who are very involved in this church, kept me insulated from Gavin Newsom's attacks because I got a letter from his AG every two weeks-

Mm

You used a word that I've never even thought about before in this context.

You guys have been fortifying Huntington Beach.

And Andrew, I think that might be one of the reasons why even in a recent debate, the one and only debate between hopefully our, our new governor, Steve Hilton, and Xavier Becerra, Xavier Becerra in the debate brought up Huntington Beach as a...

He said, "I sued Huntington Beach." Uh, wow.

Right.

And then we've got Bobby Jindal now, uh-

Oh

... te- tell our listeners about Bobby Jindal.

What are, uh, your thoughts in, in him running for president?

If anybody remembers him, [laughs] he was, um, I think his career came to a screech, his aspirations rather, came to a screeching halt when he was asked by the Republican Party to do the response to the State of the Union address, and he just botched it so poorly.

War is often indistinguishable from migration, although sometimes it takes longer.

The governor of Louisiana, Bobby Jindal, himself an assimilated child of immigrants, says that migration without the intent of assimilation is invasion, an act of war.

It is often said that the United States is a nation of immigrants.

This is true enough, but it is a nation created by the melting pot, by assimilated immigrants who entered legally and came to be Americans, or at least were not openly opposed to the idea.

One is that It's striking that Indian Americans are actually well represented in the elite echelons of the American right and have been for some time, notably presidential contender Former Governor Nikki Haley would be one example.

Former Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana would be another example.

He was regarded as a rising star.

More recently, we've had Vivek Ramaswamy, who's currently running for governor of Ohio.

Well, as part of the White House effort to crack down on waste, fraud, and abuse, Vice President J.D. Vance's anti-fraud task force is reportedly preparing to remove hundreds of thousands of Obamacare enrollees who they say don't meet eligibility requirements or simply don't exist at all.

Here with more on the crackdown is Bobby Jindal, former governor of Louisiana and chair of the America First Policy Institute's Healthy America Initiative.

Governor, it's great to have you on, sir.

Thank you for having me.

you.

Absolutely.

That was Governor Bobby Jindal.

Let's get to another story because yesterday, guys, I broke some news on this show.

I also think, like, we should point out that, like, y- you know, edu- people have been studying education reform for a really long time, and the conclusion that you can find schools that are beautiful, wonderful success stories.

Back when I was writing about Bobby Jindal, I think it was 2011, it was after, oh, Occupy Wall Street, and we went to SI Academy in New Orleans.

This is where, you know, they'd gotten devastated by Hurricane Katrina, a lot of damage, a lot of people moved out.

This was a heavily African American neighborhood.
