that makes no sense. >> this is not just about bobby jindal. it's what's happening in louisiana and also in two other rather-led states. you have 5 million americans nationally who could have access to health care right now, including people with all sorts of health condition, all sorts of races and backgrounds, as mark said, who are being blocked at the hospital door by republican leadership in their state who are trying to score political points and it's inhumane. and it's got to stop. >> the idea that you would attack the bill board in a lawsuit, just gives the bill board a lot more publicity. i even wonder what the thinking behind the legal challenge is. it certainly isn't going to be that the message of this bill board is going to be brought past not only all over the state but all over the nation continuously as long as this lawsuit is still alive. >> mark, to that point, what i found -- part of the thing that my team and i found so intriguing is essentially they're trying to limit free speech because move on has the right to criticize an

i don't think he can get the money, though. >> bobby jindal? >> i don't think jindal. >> so the only guys who can beat hillary are rubio -- >> i think rubio, i think kasich could, chris christie could. >> you're just playing to me. he is playing to me because he knows i like kasich and jeb bush. how far away can they get away with. even challenger. five or seven votes from her. >> i think they've got to be very care to feel divorce themselves from a lot of the crazy social issues that are going on and that are happening with state legislatures, just ripping. you know, the war on women is a real war. you can see all the things that are happening in state legislatures. you've got to divorce yourself from some of that or you're dead in the water. i think senator rubio's biggest problem is he flip-flopped on immigration. and, you know, the way to beat hillary clinton is to get significant portion of the latino vote. and i think he lost it when he flip-flopped on his own bill. >> governor, you're going to -- >> governor -- i'm sorry, i got to break i

apparently governor bobby jindal of louisiana, the governor like many fellow republican governors istanding in the way of health care for the state's working poor by blocking medicaid expansion. despite the fact the state would not have to pay a cent for it this year. moveon.org tried to shame him with this billboard. the state of louisiana through its lieutenant governor has fired back, not, not about people getting health care but about the billboard using the state's tourism logo and motto. the state is suing move-on saying the billboard is causing, i'm quoting here "irreparable harm and damages." to repeat, the state is suing over the use of its tourism logo because it's the use of said logo causing harm, injury and damage, not bobby jindal denying health insurance to 242,000 of his constituents. joining me, anna galland, executive director of moveon.org. >> my first reaction was disbelief. that quickly became something akin to outrage. there are 242,000 people in louisiana who don't have health care. the fact that they don't have health care is a choice by the elected officials

tonight you'll hear from people involved in the oil and gas renaissance, louisiana governor bobby jindal, point man on one state's quest to barness cheap natural gas. john ferriola, president of new corps, the giant steal maker. it's taking of how low natural gas prices to build a brand new start from scratch iron processing plants on the banks of the mississippi. it's the material needed to make the finest steel. we'll listen to jim brown, halliburton's president for the western hemisphere. he'll tell us how he's using new technologies to get to oil we used to think couldn't be extracted. he's using mobile and cloud tech innovations so exploration and production companies can better exploit mature and unconventional fields. which brings us to where we are right now, on top of one of the most mature fields in the gulf of mexico where emergency xxi is drilling on an old shallow water exxon field using brand new technology to reinvigorate what was once thought to be a dying prospect. and we aren't down here so much to recommend stocks for trades as we are to show you why we think the ameri

. >> louisiana governor bobby jindal has faded a little bit from the 2016 conversation. he was in new hampshire friday speaking at a fun st. patrick's day related event. bobby jindal quietly laying some 2016 groundwork. >> not interesting in running for president, ima's just talking to everybody i know to. one for more me. the. >>> the immediate fallout from that florida special election we have already seen a number of senior house democrats announce their retirements. i'm told in the next week to ten days look for two to three more. >>> that's it for "inside politics." see you back here next sunday. catch our morning take each weekday from 7:30 a.m. eastern. "state of the union" with candy crowley starts right now. >>> good morning. i'm candy crowley in washington and this is "sftate of the union." >>> we're following two breaking stories, the disappearance of malaysia flight 3707 and the crucial vote in crimea on whether or not it will realign with russia. >>> senator john mccain landed this morning in washington following a trip to ukraine and he will join us. >>> no

after being captured last year in jordan. >>> louisiana governor bobby jindal raising doubts about the strategy going into the midterms now, saying his party focuses too much on obamacare rather than on other important issues like jobs and the economy. here's what he said. quote, there are still too many folks who would tell you the president's unpopular, obamacare is unpopular, and when your opponent is self-destructing, you stay out of his way. just make this election a referendum on that. i think that's a huge mistake. if we want to win the majority, we have to be offering detailed ideas of what we would do differently. i don't think it's enough to just say repeal obamacare. all right. does he have a point? >> listen, i think the focus should be on the massive policies that are failing americans. obamacare, even energy. obama's energy policy. today the epa issued a regulation where gas prices are going to go up $10 a gallon. all these policies are harming hard-working americans, even the coal miners are being harmed with regulations. with obamacare, i think they should continue to t

yesterday we got a chance to talk to bobby jindal, who's known as the pro-business republican governorf louisiana. take a look. governor, i know, unless you're going announce for president right here there's a lot of international and national implications but what i really care about is one thing. you have developed an amazing system to bring companies down here and harness this natural gas revolution. how's it going? >> jim, it's going great. thank you for coming to louisiana. we're here in paradise, grand isle. in louisiana, our economy is growing. we're doing what washington, d.c. is not doing. for example, more people working than ever before, higher incomes than ever before. our economy has grown 50% faster than the national economy. over $50 billion in projects announced in our state, over 80,000 new jobs. it's not rocket science. what did we do? we cut taxes. we have the lowest taxes for our manufacturing facility anywhere in the country. we've made it easier for people to invest. we have the top-rated work force program in the country. we cut the budget 26%, cut 28,000 governm

including republican named bobby jindal.re is what governor jindal said about president obama late last week. >> we have long thought and said this president is a smart man. it may be time to revisit that assumption. >> time to revisit the idea that president obama is smart? that's jindal's version of don't be stupid? suggest the president is stupid? but it wasn't a gaffe. he doubled down on it today. in a national review column, jindal writes, quote, this president is often praised for his intelligence. the events in crimea should spur us to revisit that notion. folks, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that insulting the president's intelligence is a pretty lame-brained idea. did governor jindal think we would give him a pass on this one? nice try, but we got you. e travd inventing amazing new cleaners, like his newest invention, liquid muscle, that lifts and cleans tough grease with less scrubbing. it's a liquid gel, so it's less watery and cleans more. and its cap stops by itself so almost nothing's wasted. ♪ no m

under bobby jindal, louisiana has become more competitive for jobs. under scott walker, red state principles have been brought to wisconsin. the public union leaders balked and instigated this massive disruption of government. because scott walker had the courage to reform pension programs fairly, the people of wisconsin did not recall him. they stood behind him and reelected him. [applause] under rick scott, florida's unemployment rate has dropped for 3 straight years. when just four years ago his predecessor presided over the loss of more than 800,000 jobs. now, that guy wants his job back. with a record like that, he is running to seek it this time as a democrat. [applause] ask yourself, what is the common denominator in these states? conservative governors who cut taxes, control spending, invest in jobs. they trust the people more than the machinery of government. it is conservative governors who know the freedom of the individual must come before the power of the state. [applause] the contrast with blue states is crystal clear. pick any two. heck

let me ask you about bobby jindal. after the state of the union response he botch sod royally a few years ago, he was largely dils missed as a real continue tender but with the dissent of chris christie and marco rubio, it feels like from the outside jindal's star is ascending and people are taking him more seriously as a 2016 contender. what was the room like when he spoke? >> you know, it's tough to tell. in some respects i think you're right. i think people regard him as an innovator, at least a policy innovator, especially on the health care front. he's clearly articulate, has an outside washington agenda which is not to be discounted in this climate. but, you know, it's tough to get a feel on how receptive people are here. i think jindal is trying to position himself smartly by constantly throwing barbs at the white house. keep in mind, he was standing outside the white house physically not maybe a week or so ago where he attacked the president for waving a white flag. he wants to insert himself in the conversatio

. >> bobby jindal's administration takes on moveon.org. >> the image was taken right off our website.t. >> there are 224,000 people in louisiana who don't have health care. instead of working on that problem, the state has chosen to sue moveon. >> i'm very protective of our right to move that mark. >> good to have you with us, anne, is this the first time moveon.org has ever been sued? >> you know, this is historic, in our whole 15-year organizational history and we've worked on some controversial issues. and this is the first thing that has ever happened like this, sclool. >> so is this a freedom of speech issue or is this truly a trademark violation as some in louisiana claim it is? >> look, we put up a billboard in the state of louisiana along with five other states that have republican leadership. where that leadership is blocking health care for literally hundreds of thousands of constituents. if you look across the whole country there are 5 million americans who right now don't have access to health care. who should. because the republican governors and other republican leaders

(laughter) unlike republican hopeful bobby jindal who made a wish on a monkey paw to be 12 forever. (laughter) well now, papa bear bill o reilly has found found yet another reason she should be taken out of the not yet running. >> there's got to be some downside to having a woman president, right? something. something that may not fit with that office. correct? >> i'm going to say no, bill. >> men are men, women are women, there's a difference, okay. there's a difference between the genders. there's got to be a downside for a woman. >> stephen: yeah, there's got to be a downside to a woman president. i mean how is she going to press the nuclear launch button. everything in the oval office is penis activated? (laughter) been that way since the kennedy administration. plus, plus, and i don't want to get too technical or scientific but women sit down to pee. and if there's a terror attack a man could just zip and go while she is wasting hours sending letters in that weird little mailbox in there.

it's really a who's who members of the senate, paul ryan, and also governors like bobby jindal of louisiana, and rick perry of texas, and we'll also hear from sarah palin on saturday. there are people who could use more love, mitch mcconnell, he's facing a battle with tea party conservatives in kentucky. and mitch mcconnell got warm applause, but then he held up a rifle over his head. and then he got a big standing ovation, so we see some republicans trying to get the republicans behind them this weekend. >> libby casey, thank you very much. >>> the dalai lama delivering the opening prayer at the u.s. senate this morning. the first time he has made such an appearance. but he's no stranger to state legislatures. in 2009, he gave the opening prayer at the senate. meeting with president obama, for the third time, that's a move that china has criticized each and every time. >>> coming up on aljazeera, the protests continue in venezuela, the longer they last, the more you pay at the pump. >> president obama in his efforts to boost the latino enrollment in the affordable care act. 8 out of 10 are

bobby jindal will take away your medicare.f the democrats could expose how florida's governor and other governors are taking away medicaid, you get a lot of low-income -- >> this is not -- i watched in 2012. i've seen this. i've been involved in many elections. and 2012, the main criticism from the conservative party, was mitt romney wasn't conservative enough. i agree, the country's a populist country. when you have the "d" on your back in a bad year, it doesn't matter what you say. you're probably going to lose. when you have an "r" on your back, in a bad year, like 2012, and 2006, you're going to lose. that's why scott brown is -- i don't know if he's going to win or lose. he's a flawed candidate. but he's got an "r" on his back. and he's cresting in a wave this year when people are frustrated with the president. >> that doesn't take into account unpredictable forces and crises that might emerge. it's like in football. that's why you play the game. you can stack of the -- >> "c" on your back is a bad thing, too. as my frien

going to have escape routes to go to other states, well, if they go east they're going to bobby jindal's louisiana. which as of right now is considering this week, the state legislator considering the same anti-abortion lj slaigs that texas passed last year that's closing down all of texas's clinics. if you think they might escape north to oklahoma, republicans in the legislature there are in the process of finalizing another raft of anti-abortion legislation that is also intended to close clinics there. the escape routes are ending as lock as the escape routes go to other red states. the escape routes are starting to look like mexico and that's it. that does it for us tonight. now it's time for "the last word" with lawrence o'donnell. have a great night. >>> tonight, russia tightens its grip on crimea, and a new prosecutor is focusing on team christie. >> a critical reason for putin's aggression has been president obama's weakness. >> he hasn't got any credibility with our allies. >> we have a weak and indecisive president. >> old adage of the politics stops at the warter's edge is comp

marco rubio and bobby jindal. marco rubio has been investing in data analytics and he's already spending to support other republicans. we talked on the show about how his reclaim america has spent for tom cotton in arkansas running for senate and for senator kelly ayotte in new hampshire. bobby jindal already been to new york city this year four times to raise money. >> now you have semi prepared on your list. what do you mean and who is in that category? >> semi prepared is people who are gearing up but haven't built as much of a structure as marco rubio has. these are probably the most visible on tv, senator rand paul of kentucky and senator ted cruz of texas. rand paul has worked in iowa before and he has a great message, he's trying to reach beyond the republican base, aiming at mill ennialmillennialo surf off his dad, ron paul. and ted cruz of texas has visited the early states a good bit but doesn't have as much of a formal structure as rubio. >> and finally least prepared and maybe most talked about topping

for instance, louisiana governor bobby jindal, i can to the say enough great things about this guy.will not start. (laughter) then there's senator rand paul, many have called him constitutionally eligible to run for office. and of course as always chris christie, yes, yes he's if a bit of a rough patch right now. but by 2016 i'm sure this whole scandal is just going to be a bump in the-- i mean-- i mean-- i mean the whole thing's just going to be water under the-- (laughter) but whoever they run, hillary will not be the unstoppable she-gernaut. republicans, for the record, do not fear. because fox news has just uncovered a bombshell of a lifetime. >> hillary clinton could face an obstacle that has nothing to do with her husband's past or even her own. howard kurtz looks at the controversial question of how old is too old. >> the age question is growing louder than just a whisper. raised by former can dt and now fox news host mike huckabee. >> look, if she's going to be at an age where it's going to be a challenge for her. >> if hillary clinton is the democratic candidate for preside

on the republican side, bobby jindal is reaching out of trying to put together a new hampshire campaignff and two different republicans rand paul and chris christie have made private promises to the new hampshire republican party to raise some money this year. good way to make friends in the first of the nation primary state. that's it for "inside politics". thanks for share your morning. state of the union with candy crowley starts right now. >>> all right good night and malaysian flight 370 was gone. 16 days missing. >> there is increasing hope, no more than hope that we might be on the road to discovering what did happen. >> man against nature in one of the world's most hostile pieces of ocean territory. we look at the challenge of the deep end of the stormy southern part of the indian ocean with its high seas and powerful plrrents.

. >> the other is louisiana governor bobby jindal who's been bordering on shameless in his appeals ton him rolling up with a cooler of red meat, just throwing it out in the crowd. >> we were talking about marco rubio at some point. he's going to be there. >> on foreign policy especially. he's been quietly cultivating that resume. >> one other name we have to pay attention to -- ted cruz. there's no one right now who's more of a favorite of the conservative base than this texas freshman. i talk to people organizing cpac, they're just enthralled by cruise. they can't wait for had him to rile up the crowd. >> this could be the informal launching of cruz 2016. >>> our reporters empty their notebooks, including a new twist notebooks, including a new twist on jeb bush and his 2016 plans. of 146 football fields... h they can see the light of a single candle. your eyes are amazing. look after them with centrum silver. multivitamins with lutein and vitamins a, c, and e to support healthy eyes and packed with key nutrients to support your heart and brain, too. centrum silver. for the most amazi

there was plenty of criticism for president obama with senator marco rubio and bobby jindal taking shots of the president's handling of ukraine. >> because we have a president who believed but by the sheer force of his personality, he would be able to shape global events. we have a president that believed that by going around the world and giving key spee speeches in key places, he could shape the behavior of other nations and other people. we do not have the luxury of seeing the world the way we hope it would be. we have to see the world the way it is. >> having witnessed the events abroad these last several days, as we see the president of russia invade a neighboring country while our president wants to downsize our military. to president carter, i want to issue a sincere apology. it is no longer fair to say he was the worst president of this great country in my lifetime. president obama has proven me wrong. >> so after the explosive exchange on capitol hill, it appears that that rift between congressman darrell issa and congressman elijah cummings is over. issa has apologized on wheth

saw in his cpac speech he didn't even mention his vice chairman at the rga, louisiana governor bobby jindal didn't even cross paths backstage. there was no time set up to meet, even say hello in this green room where all these stars were crossing. jindal spoke right after christie and had they didn't even talk afterwards. just another example of this fraught, chilly relationship that's going to manifest itself if these two run for president. >> they're saving it for the green room in an iowa debate. we'll get that eventually. >>> obviously this week at cpac we had this parade of presidential candidates coming forward but there was strikingly a lack of a message still to these voter groups they've had such a tough time with, women, minorities. they are going into these communities but they are still figuring out what they're going to say. i think we still need to watch closely whether or not they make any evidence on that front. >> there is a special election tuesday in florida. republicans have held the seat for 58 years. that house seat. but they are increasingly nefbous. many smart republ

side, you've got marco rubio, ted cruz and rand paul, you had governors like chris christie and bobby jindalint right now is to try to prove their conservative credibility. marco rubio gave a very in-depth foreign-policy speech and ted cruz talked about repealing obamacare and dodd frank. at the future of the republican party -- see pack is a purity platform, something ted cruz made very clear today. >> all of us remember president dole. and president mccain. and president romney. man, decent man, but when you don't stand and draw a clear distinction, when you don't stand for principle, democrats celebrate. >> phil, you mentioned chris christie. he has faced for the of trouble back home. is he still a viable national candidate? >> it's interesting. see pack is not chris christie territory. he wasn't even invited last year. but we were talking about the future of the republican party, chris christie try to make the point today with plenty of conservative red meat that while that is important, what's more important is winning elections. take a listen to what he had to say. >> i will mind you o

vice presidential candidate paul ryan, new jersey governor chris christie, louisiana governor bobby jindal and florida senator marco rubio. former vice presidential candidate sarah palin is also expected to speak. >>> new this morning as republicans gather at cpac, abc news "washington post" poll shows strong support for hillary clinton and her possible presidential bid. the poll finds two-thirds of americans would consider supporting clinton for president. a quarter of americans say they would definitely support the former first lady, senator, and secretary of state. >>> also new this morning, lawmakers in the embattled crimea region of ukraine will hold a vote 10 days from now to decide whether crimea should become part of russia. the new leader of the region said pro russian forces control all access to the strategic peninsula and blockaded all ukrainian military base that is have not yesterday surrendered. meanwhile diplomatic efforts continue. meanwhile yesterday's talks in paris went nowhere. secretary of state john kerry is expected to sit down again today with russia's foreign mini

. >> bobby jindal and rick perry were not invited who made this clear they're throwing their supportind adelson's opposition to internet gambling. clearly the support of this $100 million donor is what people are seeking. and given the desperation to win in 2016, i don't think republicans will get the small donors. it's shameful. >> newt gingrich wouldn't have even been a candidate if adelson wasn't behind him the last time. it might be that internet gambling is not such a great thing, but it's obviously in his interest since he owns casinos to be against legalized internet gambling. but the idea that you have politicians who are literally at the beck and call of an individual, it one thing to do the bidding of interest groups. that's an old thing in american politics, but we have really never had before this one individual with this degree of power in a presidential primary. eig it's a scary thing. >> i absolutely agree with you. while people are covering this as a horse race, it is frightening to think all these guys drop what they're doing, go out there just for the blessing of th

opportunity in states led by governors like nikki haley, bobby jindal, scott walker, rick scott. under governor haley, south carolina moved to 20,000 citizens from welfare to work. under bobby jindal, louisiana has become more competitive for jobs by implementing smart regulations, and other scott walker, red state principles have been brought to wisconsin. you see, the public union anders -- they balked, they instigated this massive disruption of government, but because scott walker -- he had the courage to reform pension programs fairly, the people of wisconsin did not recall him, they stood behind him and they reelected him. [cheers and applause] and under rick scott, florida's unemployment rate has dropped for three straight years. when just four years ago, four years ago, his predecessor presided over the loss of more than 800,000 jobs, and now that guy wants his job back. with a record like that, appropriately, he is running this time to seek it as a democrat. [applause] ask yourselfot to -- what is the common denominator in these states? it is conservative governments who

marco rubio and bobby jindal as we move on to ukraine now took shots at the president on his handlinging crisis there which is another top story we are talking about. here is what charles krauthammer writes in "the washington post." the wages of weakness. vladimir putin is a lucky man and he's got three more years of luck to come. he takes crimea and president obama says it's not in russia's interests and indeed a sign of weakness. really? crimea belonged to moscow for 200 years. russia annexed 20 years before jaevers acquired louisiana. so there's a mystery there. if he bites off crimea and threatens kiev obama's response will be minimal and ability to lead the europeans less so? would putin have lunged for ukraine if he doesn't have a clueless adversary? no one can say for sure but it made putin's decision easier. >> governor huntsman, i guess call you mr. ambassador. >> your excellency will do. >> that works very well too. what happens now? what is the press's next step? there are only limited options, are there not? >> well, you're dealing, first wlve a guy who doesn't like the wa

when you look across the country, the states doing well, creating jobs, the red states, it is bobby jindalki haley. these are governments implementing what i call red state policies, basically limited government, watching the spending, having tax that is legal. get out of the way and let the private sector do what it does best. those states are getting ahead. >> here is what is amazing, i read this report that came out. texas holds 140 billion in petro wealth. last time i interviewed you you told me by 2015 you expect a $15 billion surplus, you don't have state income tax. >> here is the key to that, somebody asked today, we were speaking at a group. they said how do you pay for your police officers, your fire, the services? and the fact is you grow your economy into it. i mean, we are the either fourth or fifth lowest tax burden in the country. in the state of texas. >> by the way, you're in the number one tax burden state in the country right here in new york. >> i know that, that is one -- >> i'm getting the hell out of here. >> that is one of the reasons i'm up here recruiting business

also bobby jindal, scott walker, john kasich, there are so many potentials here. >> before we go, lastaw this lovely picture of you. you look great. >> this is humiliating. >> no, that is not humiliating. you look adorable. >> look at that hair cut. does that even look like the same person? >> yes, it absolutely does. the only difference is you have a part now and some gray. >> and some gray? >> the following photo, cute doggy with you. but look at you rocking the -- look at you rocking the blue tooth head set. >> all right, that is my -- >> you got some steaks to sell me, brother? >> that dog is now old. that is my oldest bernice mountain dog, duffy. >> sell him some shower curtain rings. >> i only use that blue tooth -- i used it five times. >> that is so not true. i know that phone was clipped to your jeans. >> oh, man, is that it? are you done? did you get the sally jesusessee yet? >> no, it makes me warm inside -- >> would you have dated me when i was in school? >> this was not about me. >> i want to know, would that be that type of kid with that goofy hair cut? >> yes. >> i must

president obama's approval rating hits a new all-time low as cpac kicks off and then trump and bobby jindal use the opportunity to say, guess what, jimmy carter, we apologize to you. all those years we've been calling you the worst president. we're not going to do that anymore and hand that honor to president obama. it was -- look. this is the time of year when conservatives kind of get a feel for where they are headed, where the party is headed hover the next few years. remember, rand paul won the straw poll last year so these speeches are going to be very important and he'll speak tomorrow, see how he does, but -- >> time flies. >> last quick thought, rumors or whispers this chris christie was going to get booed at cpac when he took the podium today. turns out he got a standing ovation. so that kind of tells you maybe the conservative movement is kind of looking for that one guy that can -- >> i think, you know, that's good, that perhaps anybody thought they thought they would boo, dana, decided not to. >> i think some pent-up media treatment of chris christie, and some people think it wa

putting down obama, health care, saying he's a bad president, bobby jindal calling him stupid. what is the new idea? >> mike, do republicans have a big battle in front of them? look at this poll. rasmussen asked voters who would they choose if held today, 47 hillary clinton 3.3% picking jeb bush, 14 another candidate and 6% undecided. >> but it's so early, gretchen, i think allen is right to the degree republicans need to formulate and articulate a message. lets face it. it's not hard to deliver a less government message. anti-obama will win. if we focus on obamacare like i said over and over and over again, that's a winning strategy. i think you're right. republicans better articulate a better way for the future instead of saying no, no, no. >> big news today, irs has agreed to turn over documents -- e-mails basically that lois lerner wrote related to the agency's targeting of conservative groups. why now? they were stonewalling for a long time. >> this is a kangaroo court. look at the way issa treated -- >> he apologized. >> he also said he had a hissy fit. >> talk about this

a place for the crazy car to fill up with the usual suspects, cruz and paul and rubio and bobby jindal. >> star wars bar. that's a real original metaphor. i think i used it like 30 times. you never see the press attack liberal gatherings, but that's because looters never target their own home. so the conservative gathering cpac is called a freak show by those who should be extra careful slinging such mud. chris matthews calling someone crazy. he's so nuts if he ate a snickers bar, it would be cannibalism, but the media mocked cpac for one reason, it's a proxy for a larger group of people they despise, but they don't know. it's in colonic waiting rooms and this hate is fear of opposing views. perhaps because their own views sag with doubt. let's just assume cpac is odder than david gregory's hair. so what? weird people rule, if only to let us know we're not so weird. weird people also take risks. that makes them uncool. rebels don't really look like james dean. renegades usually look like this. politics attract the odd. as a refugee from the left, i would say there's more there. being c

today at cpac, bobby jindal came out and said to president carter, i want to issue a sincere apology, it is no longer fair to say he was the worst president in our lifetime. "washington times" comparing president obama to carter. can he come out and show swagger on international foreign policy strength, peace through strength and military. at this point in his presidency? >> it is extremely difficult. i want him to be able to because his foreign policy is ours. we want a strong america and strong president on the world stage but these outcomes in many ways are baked in. the weakness we project are baked in. when you negotiate with the iranians knowing they're seeking the nuclear bomb, putin reads every one of these signals and that is why he acted the way he did. and we hit reset buttons with him knowing he is a world leader. it's as if this is some game that the administration is willfully blind to. they just block it, they say this it the 20th century. >> john jerry said 19th century. >> my goodness, these are actions that strong powers make. >> you minutentioned the reset button. t

bobby jindal declined to expand medicaid and she is pushing hard to change that. >> bottom line they're going to try to offset whatever is happening to people who are part of the 90% who had coverage who by in large were happy with that they had, weren't thrilled by it but certainly happier with what they had then versus what they have now. but the democratic strategy, if i'm hearing it right, is focus on the benefits of those who didn't have insurance orthos who were worried about preexisting conditions and open they offset that? >> that's exactly right. they're just going to try to focus on -- >> like that -- >> about obamacare. it doesn't add up. the thing is when they have been asked what they would do to fix obamacare -- alex sink's messages were pathetic. she had a couple of side proposal that would not have addressed the issues of higher premiums, higher deductibles, narrower choices of hospitals and doctors. so democrats have to fine a message what they want to fix about obamacare. while they said they have wanted to fix it, they have not come up with any kind of plan to do it.

are going to have escape routes to go to other states, well, if they go east they're going to bobby jindal'souisiana. which as of right now is considering this week, the state legislator considering the same anti-abortion legislation that texas passed last year that's closing down all of texas's clinics. if you think they might escape north to oklahoma, republicans in the legislature there are in the process of finalizing another raft of anti-abortion legislation that is also intended to close clinics there. the escape routes are ending as lock as the escape routes go to other red states. the escape routes are starting to look like mexico and that's it. >>> good tuesday morning. right now on "first look," anger and frustration. the families of the missing 239 passengers want answers as the search grows for the missing boeing 777 aircraft. plus late breaking details on the passengers. >> plus a dawn to dusk full-court press on the need for action on climate change. >>> marijuana millions. colorado's tax revenue is rocky mountain high as the first full month of reefer revenue is in. >> plus bu

laughter ] i fired 12% -- and did you see this too, yesterday at the conference, louisiana governor bobby jindald that obama is actually a a worse president than jimmy carter. then trump was like "man, what a terrible eulogy." [ laughter ] no, he's not dead. he's very much alive. [ laughter ] speaking of the gop this week the house republicans held their 50th vote to derail obamacare. obama was pretty insulted, you know, because he thought he took care of that months ago when he launched the website. [ cheers and applause ] you can't log in. it doesn't work. i made it impossible to work. you can't do it. try it. i dare you, try it. you got to hand it to him. the president's still trying to make obamacare work. in fact, last week he met with some of the biggest celebrities on youtube to talk about getting young people signed up. of course most of the youtube celebrities were cats. but, still they had some good ideas. [ laughter ] not gonna need that orange peel helmet anymore. obamacare covers it. get off your keyboard, fall off the keyboard. [ laughter ] planking. stomping on grapes? covered. [

maybe bobby jindal. who do you think? >> i think there's more. you got john kasich in ohio. in florida. there's a lot of folks out there that will look around and look at this. mike pence in indiana. there's another. there's a lot of good people out there and that's great. what we found in the last race, and we found in every race is that the process takes its toll and people are in and out and that process is a good one. it really does, you know, help you get a great candidate in the end. >> baptism by fire. >> it really is. >> good to see you, senator. >> thank you, sean. >>> up next, dennis and dennis, the only two that haven't spoken. who would you like to see win the straw poll tomorrow and who would you like to see as the republican nominee? >> i got to say, i think you missed the number one spot. it was when mike lee said we have to stop talking about ronald reagan and start acting like him. i unfortunately don't see anybody yet standing up and saying, i say that's my reagan. >> this is your son? >> he's my son. wh >> what do you see? >> i kind of agree with what he s
