Moon Griffon joined Talk 107.3 for his regular Monday segment, diving into some of the state’s most pressing issues—from immigration concerns to upcoming political races and energy policy.
Griffon began with a candid discussion on work-life balance, joking about unused vacation days before pivoting to a controversial letter from the Diocese of Baton Rouge. The letter granted dispensation for Catholics fearful of attending Mass due to potential ICE raids. Griffon acknowledged the complexity of the issue, noting the Catholic Church’s involvement in immigration assistance and federal funding. While emphasizing compassion, he stressed the importance of legal pathways and the Trump administration’s focus on targeting “the bad guys” rather than blanket raids.
The conversation then shifted to Louisiana politics, specifically the Pelican Pulse poll on next year’s Senate race. Griffon highlighted Senator Bill Cassidy’s challenges despite strong fundraising, predicting that real momentum will build after the holidays. “Right now, it’s a Cassidy-Fleming race until something changes,” he said, adding that candidates like Blake Miguez need to make moves early in 2026 to gain traction.
Energy policy rounded out the discussion, with Griffon reacting to former President Trump’s declaration of a national energy emergency. He pointed out the absence of renewables—such as wind, solar, and carbon capture—in the announcement, questioning their role in future energy strategies. “If that was the future, wouldn’t it be mentioned?” Griffon asked, underscoring his skepticism about green initiatives compared to traditional energy sources.
The segment closed on a lighter note with college football chatter, including Notre Dame’s rumored bowl game boycott. Griffon called it “a tantrum,” arguing that TV revenue and tradition make such a move unrealistic.
