. >> look what bobby jindal has don in louisiana. >> yeah. >> one thing we have is this tremendous usen new orleans. >> the democrats tried to shut that down. >> exactly. but rather than going on and saying the black kids are learn in louisiana, they're trying to shut it down and end the progress that black kids are seeing in new orleans. >> same thing in new york. >> bobby has done a great job in job creation. moving louisiana from 42nd in the nation to number 8 in the nation. >> wow, that's great. the big problem is that members of the minority community aren't prepared. >> guys, good toglñ see you. welcome back from california. you're back from the liberal state. liberals want you to believe coo blame for ebola in america? coming up next, i kid you za8$ñ we've got the ad to prove it. we'll set the record straight. then the army says that politics has nothing to do with it. i'm not sold. why the results of the bergdahl's capture is not being released. lot in return with ink plus from chase. like 70,000 bonus points when i spent $5,000 in the first 3 months after i opened my account.

one example of that louisiana governor bobby jindal calling on president obama to shut down flights intohe united states. the worst hit are liberia and guinea where there have been more than 7,400 cases and 3,400 deaths since this began. jindal is saying we should stop accepting flights to protect our people. the cdc saying that would be kointer productive because isolating countries would dissuede aid workers allowing outbreak putting the world more at risk. it is important to take into consideration. we are getting word nat u.s. is stepping up the response there saying it was planning to send 3,000 military personnel in to help. now hearing there could be 600 more additional troops going in. news here in dl on the first patient diagnosed treated here in isolation. health officials just gave a press briefing following about 100 contacts here in dallas and looking at 50 who they are closely monitoring and 10 of whom may be at higher risk. no one is sick now including four family members told to stay in their home until october 19, put under an order to stay in there. there is a haz-mat c

feel aboutou governor bobby jindal's refuse to accept medicaid dollars when so many working poor could have benefited? >> thank you. both of my opponents agree with jindal that we should not expand medicaid. i think it is tragic. 200 52,000 people that wake up and go to work every day could be benefiting from health insurance. aey talk a lot about workforce -- it is hard to have a strong workforce of it is not healthy. -- it would have brought $16 billion. . this is three times the amount of jobs that will be brought here. i oppose the governor's actions. i sent letters and showed up, asking him to say yes to 250 2000 people in our state and that is part of why i am proud to run against them. been workingho has for 25 years treating the uninsured -- you might ask, if it is so good, why does it go to a charity hospital? it is so far beneath the dr.'s cost she cannot afford to receive a large number of medicaid patients. medicaid is the illusion of coverage without the power of access. and for this meant that it wouldn't -- for this myth that it went cost taxpayers anything. it would cos

rick perry, rick santorum, chris christie, mike huckabee, bobby jindal, rand paul have all come to iowaultiple times in 2014 alone. paul had the good fortune of being chosen by the chamber of commerce, a powerful gop force to appear in their closing ad. >> if you're a freedom-loving, liberty-loving voter, i urge you to get out and vote for joany earnst this thursday. sometimes it can be testing when they asked him about not his own presidential prospect, but mitt romneyee. >> you'll have to ask him. >> i did. >> unlike eight years ago when barack obama denounced hillary clinton in iowa, she doesn't have much competition for now. >> one of the latest controversies in the senate is that the republican candidate joni ernst abruptly skipped a meeting with the des moines register newspaper editorial board and hillary clinton jumped on that, jake, and she said in iowa you have to be willing to answer tough questions. i'm sure that reporters like you and i and others will rae miemir of that this time next year. >> what did hillary clinton say about the republican candidate joni ernst? >> so in

. >> but the problem, kevin, is the republicans like governor bobby jindal are not getting out of thetrying to exploit this situation. >> they're not exploding it. >> excuse me. he brought it up in a partisan speech. >> why not exploit it? >> because when you take national security and try to make a partisan game it never works and it doesn't replace the republican part eye, according to the "wall street journal" or peggy noonan, not having an agenda for this election. >> i always come on and try not to be partisan. i'm trying to offer a clinical assessment here. >> i must have missed that memo. i don't recall that, okay. >> kevin, last word, go ahead. >> yeah, you did. what what so many republicans are saying, at worst what they're saying is we told you so. we told you this president was ambivalent. >> you mean the republican party that invaded iraq is now going to lecture us about how to address this? this was the bush strategy. >> those aren't partisan talking points at all, right, robert? >> that's history, kevin. >> i have to wrap it up. kevin madden, robert zimmerman, thanks for

. >> louisiana governor bobby jindal immediately slammed those comments calling them remarkably divisive saying "implied in her comments is the clear suggestion that president obama and his policies are unpopular in louisiana because of his ethnicity. that is a major insult by senator landrieu to the people of louisiana, and i flatly reject it." of course the governor is a republican. this has the potential to not only impact senator landrieu but it may spill into other races. we have team coverage on the breaking news with fox news digital politics editor chris dyrwalt and sirius radio talk show host david webb. we begin with bill cassidy, landrieu's republican challenger who joins us now by phone. sir, thank you very much for being here. your reaction to her comments stand by. we're trying to get him. hold on. >> can you hear me? >> i've got you, sir. your reaction to senator landrieu's comments. >> yeah. people in louisiana care deeply about our country. they are being bombarded by his regulations. they don't understand obama care, can't imagine why he won't approve keystone xl pipeli

rand paul, ted cruz, paul ryan, louisiana gov nar bobby jindal all calling for tough action on ebola. reines prooens appears to be today. changing the subject going after the president on ebola as well. what's the upside that they might be seeing? >> they are trying to go after him. it's unlikely that it would come to the united states. now we have one person in this country now. it's been confirmed for having the ebola virus. they will go after him wherever they can. the best way to understand why now it's unmerited, unwarranteded to do this is to look at those not running for president are saying. john cornan. ted cruz is trashing the president on this. he's running for president. john cornan is not trashing the president. not running for president. it's not a coincidence that the republicans being more supportive on this are not running for president which puts this all in political context and i don't think the american people want to see. >> i know you like the noodle. how would you summarize the past week with all of this going on. what needs to happen last week. >> to think abo

. >> now, the governor there bobby jindal has just come out with a a statement.he said the president's policies which senator landrieu largely supports are unpopular in louisiana and the other 49 stays because they are ill advised, liberal, and don't work out here in the real world and his administration has also proven to be incompetent. trying to blame it on race is ridiculous. charles? >> it's ridiculous and i think it's also politically fatal. the first rule of commerce is don't insult your customers. to call the electorate your own people essentially to say they are racist or sexist, which is what she said, and that explains my unpopularity, i think is a huge mistake. >> marah. >> yeah. i think the only thing that was better than i expected about that cut is she didn't use the word racism or sexism. but mary landrieu is in a very very tough race. she has won them before. this is tougher than anything else she has faced. he she is not going to get auto%. neither is her opponent on tuesday and looks like she is going to a runoff. >> she is a very good campaign

. >> so bobby jindal who is the governor of louisiana called landrieu's comments, quote, a major insultthe people of louisiana. what about that? >> well, i mean, i think it's interesting that -- >> so she's insulting people because she's stating a historical fact. >> number one, it's a historical fact, but it's also true that the southern strategy was a thing. they actually did try to pander to white tensions and white races in the south in order to gain votes. that's something that is a verifiable truth. that's not an opinion that you state that you can say that's not true. we can look at the documentation that shows that that was an explicit strategy on their behalf. i think the fact of the matter is that racism is a lot more divisive than accusations of racism. >> denying medicaid expansion to the citizens of louisiana and the state of louisiana is an insult to them. katrina and the government's response to katrina was an insult to them. right? there are many ways in which politicals and political figures have insulted the citizens of louisiana. this particular comment is not one of

want to she would louisiana governor bobby jindal, republican come had to say yesterday about that inhington at the american enterprise institute. >> i think we should do everything we can. i'm hopeful harry reid will be retired as majority leader and i'm hopeful answer blows will not be returning to speaker but i agree with the premise of your questions that the sequestration my comes to defense cuts were a mistake. added on top of president obama's own reductions, secretary gates, then you add the impact of sequestration, you have nearly $1 trillion in reductions what was the last responsible assessment of what the pentagon actually needed. secretary gates didn't propose, i would argue didn't go far enough but i'd know the last time there was a reasonable threat analysis, it's just remarkable to me the president in the space of a speech, simply throw out his own secretaries work and pick an arbitrary number and then on top of that, congress would impose arbitrary reductions on top of those arbitrary reductions. i think was a mistake for republicans to accept sequestration cuts in de

i'm thankful for governor bobby jindal on thursday, governor walker has come in, governor perry, carly fiorina leading women for astorino. governor romney, governor bush have put out letters. we're getting support, maybe not from the rga and governor christie. david: the rga is the republican governor's association. jindal very much in the news, on this corruption charge by the way, you mentioned nothing proved against governor cuomo he is corrupt. >> ongoing investigation by the u.s. attorney who is admitting they are investigating the governor. only can the anti-corruption commission be corrupt in new york, that's what happened. so obstruction of justice, probably witness tampering. david: probably in chicago as well. >> the crazy part, the university of illinois ranks new york as the most corrupt state. that's saying something. david: when he was head of hud, housing under the clinton administration, and some people blame him, including certain left wing authors blame for problem with the subprime crisis. do you? have you brought it up or has he forgotten? >> we have the highest tax

this was coming out with bobby jindal, republican governor of louisiana who wants to run for president he's saying everything that's wrong with this president, you don't need to hear it from me, just go and listen to leon panetta. so certainly he's fair to say what he wants. the criticism itself is a very common one that many people on the left have made before. the timing is very unfortunate, i think, for this president, and it does lend itself to the suspicion that leon panetta is looking to ring up some royalties. >> joe, what's your reaction to the comments? >> my first reaction was, when i heard him say logic doesn't apply in washington, d.c., i think that's why people are so down on washington, d.c. what do you mean logic doesn't apply? of course you want to be logical, of course you want to be intelligent, of course you want to be cautious. my first reaction is, i thought about john f. kennedy and the cuban missile crisis. history will tell us he was the only one at that table who didn't want to pull the trigger, which would have started world war iii. and the president is the p
