A Conversation with Garret Graves

Congressman Garret Graves Joins Kiran Chawla on this episode of Louisiana Unfiltered and discusses his tenure representing Louisiana in Washington, D.C., focusing on the repeal of the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO), which negatively impact public sector employees by reducing their Social Security benefits. He highlights the strong support for his repeal bill, which has over 325 co-sponsors, and details negotiations with the House Ways and Means Committee to advance it. Graves also addresses Baton Rouge's traffic issues, outlining significant infrastructure projects aimed at improving congestion. He reflects on his decision not to seek re-election due to redistricting concerns, shares insights from his decade-long service, and expresses pride in achievements like the Comite Diversion Canal project. As he anticipates life beyond Congress, Graves conveys both anxiety and hope for future endeavors while emphasizing his commitment to Louisiana's progress. #CongressmanGarretGraves #louisiana #WindfallEliminationProvision #GovernmentPensionOffset #SocialSecuritybenefits #ComiteDiversionCanal #podcast #LouisianaUnfiltered Timestamps 01:13 Traffic Challenges in Baton Rouge 33:56 The Comite Diversion Canal Project 40:34 Reflections on a Decade of Service 49:17 The Future Ahead for Garret Graves Local Sponsors For This Episode: Unspeakable: A True Crime Podcast by Kelly Jennings: Kelly is most recognizable for her sass and humor combined with a “no nonsense approach” to true crime story telling.

Interstate Shootings

Executive Producer Daniel Brown joins Louisiana Unfiltered host Kiran Chawla as they discuss the alarming rise in Interstate shootings in the Baton Rouge area. In the last three weeks, there have been four interstate shootings in the Baton Rouge area. Road rage-related shootings in the state have increased by over 400% from 2014 to 2023. While Louisiana ranks 22nd in the nation for road rage incidents involving guns, cities like New Orleans have seen a significant number of fatal and non-fatal shootings. The increase in road rage incidents is believed to be linked to impatience, speeding, tailgating, and aggressive driving. Law enforcement faces challenges in solving these cases due to limited surveillance cameras on interstates and the difficulty of identifying vehicles involved in high-speed incidents. Solutions to the problem are limited, but individuals can take precautions such as giving aggressive drivers space, avoiding arguments or obscene gestures, keeping windows up and doors locked, and calling 911 if feeling threatened. Slowing down and practicing patience can make a difference in preventing road rage incidents. #interstateshootings #roadrage #louisiana #BatonRouge #NewOrleans #podcast #LouisianaUnfiltered #KiranChawla #unfiltered Timestamps 02:29 The Impact of Road Rage Shootings on Families 09:52 National Statistics on Road Rage Shootings 16:08 Factors Contributing to Road Rage Incidents 21:46 Concerns and Precautions for Interstate Travel 26:12 Targeted Shootings and Challenges for Law Enforcement 29:45 The Importance of Patience and Personal Safety 35:29 Taking Precautions on the Road Local Sponsors For This Episode: Unspeakable: A True Crime Podcast by Kelly Jennings: Kelly is most recognizable for her sass and humor combined with a “no nonsense approach” to true crime story telling.
