this means you support the -- of bobby jindal. [inaudible] >> governor jindal did a number of good things but finances was not one of them. i was the very first person to stand up and say that his decisions were going to lead us. and i paid a price for that. they cut my budget of $500,000. i took it full on the face and kept going. i was the first one to stand up and say look governor you shouldn't spend all $880 million in the medicaid trust fund. the money is supposed to be there for our elderly. i was the first one to say look y'all it's wrong to spend $400 million from retirees health insurance fund. so i put my record of standing up against politicians of both parties who are more powerful to me up against anyone. >> are the facts. the refinancing save to save money in interest rate on long-term debt dropped substantially predated the $1.69 help shore up -- so regardless of what the treasure said the chief financial officer made a poor political decision on this one and the bad financial decision to these issues will come up

and also 300,000 that few actually criticized bobby jindal for purchasing. that is ridiculous.that is the biggest hypocrisy of all. >> moderator: you may have 30 seconds. >> fleming: with respect to my friend, what he said wasn't true. but me tell you what is true. congress also spent $400 million to study whether life can ever exist on jupiter moons. i guess they gave up on mars. congress appropriated $370,000 to study whether mothers love dogs as much as their kids and they gave to the vietnam. they appropriated $753 million to remodel one of their buildings. let's wait for the next response. the next question is from the usa today network. >> louisiana will have one of the most junior delegations. what kind of strategy would you have to overcome the weakness how could you overcome that as a legislator in washington. >> seniority is how it works. i'm 38 years of age and that is to emphasize i have a little bit more runway to bring it back. the relationships are in the long haul and the truth of the matter is i'm going to put people first and do what is right for the state and

is injury to continue to support district bosses a bobby jindal or describing the so called top financial person in our state you don't know what you're doing. which is it? >> governor jindal did a number of good things in louisiana, but finances was not one of them. i was at the very first person in baton rouge to stand up and say that i his decisions were going to lead us close to bankruptcy. and i paid a price for that. in the legislature, i paid a big price for that. they count my budget $500,000. i didn't complain. i took at full in the face and kept going. i was the first one to stand up and say look, governor, you should it's been all $880 million in the medicaid trust fund. that money is supposed to be there were our elderly. i was the first one to say look y'all, it won't to take $400 billion from the retirees health insurance fund. so i will put my record of standing up against politicians of both parties who are more powerful than me up against anyone. >> so you are the facts. the refinancing save the state money and interest rate on the long-term debt actually dropped substant

scott walker, bobby jindal, rand paul stood up to donald trump early in the primary they paid a prr terrible price. go back to the republican convention in the vote your conscience speech and then use all thyousaw the republicans plt immediately thereafter. what we don't know what is the reason republicans when they challenged trump are seeing their numbers go down is because we are in the heat of an election and at the base doesn't want hillary to win or because trump is rebranding the party in his own chocolate bunny image or it's a little bit of both and i don't think we will get the answer to that until afterun november 9 when the smoke clea clears. >> host: conservative talk show host out of urbandale iowa and the author of the nefarious plot, detroit michigan, david you are up next. >> caller: good morning pedros a and mr. deace. i'm going to be honest when they announced you were going to be a conservative talk radio host i was about to turn the station to cnn or something like that but what you're saying is so true, and the thing about the republican party is that theyga have so much

former louisiana governor and failed presidential candidate himself, bobby jindal wrote an op-ed in "l" saying president obama created donald trump. "new york times" conservative columnist wrote that obama era trends in liberal politics helped feed the trump phenomenon. even jeb bush writing in "the washington post" eight years of divisive tactics of president obama and his allies have undermined americans's faith in politics to accomplish anything constructive. obama isn't buying any of that. saying i see a straight line from the announcement of sarah palin as the vice presidential nominee so what we see in donald trump. the emergence of the freedom caucus, the tea party and the shift in the center of gravity for the republican party. this isn't the first time that the republican has tied trump directly to the republican party. obama warned republicans about this for years. the content of obama's argument shouldn't be surprising to anyone who has been paying attention because he's been making it for practically his entire presidency. in january 2010 when the president addressed the r

after eight years of governor bobby jindal's destruction we have a lot of work to do, bring our tax dollarsto help our people, raise the minimum wage to help our families, we need extra pay for women. an old saying there is no wrong way to do the right thing. i released my tax returns, nobody else here has i don't know why but they won't do it. you can see where my money goes and how much taxes i pay. i'm asking your vote for you to vote for me simply because i want to be a voice of the people like i have in the past, and other powerful. i am a voice for the people, not a powerful. .bless you, god bless the state of louisiana, god bless the united states of america. i appreciate your help so very much. >> we would like to thank the candidates for their participation in viewers for joining us at home. we thank louisiana tech and the wagner center for civic engagement and public policy for hosting us. early voting begins october 25th and runs through november 1st election day across the country, tuesday, november 8th. >> there are many other decisions besides the senate race. we have to make

i looked around to lindsey graham and rick perry, bobby jindal.ied to make the case donald trump was unfit. but they lost. now the republican party has to deal with the hand that they have. that is that donald trump is their nominee. to push him aside would be political suicide. >> if the rnc decides they atoward nomination last minute to mike pence and start making attempts to get his name on the ballot, is the dnc going to fight those changes? >> the dnc is ready to protect the ballot. voters in several states have cast their ballots. we have early voting in states starting in two or three days from now. in iowa or wisconsin, people are able to vote in person. absentee ballots have been mailed out. by michy calculation, over 112 electoral votes have been at stake with the early voting. again, this is the republican party and fleet disarray. you have republican candidates one by one disavowing and withdrawing their support for the nominee. we're focused on senatorial races in missouri and congressional races and other legislative races. that's ou

and the only one who stood up to bobby jindal in eight years at louisiana governor. he did more harm than men in the history of louisiana. i've been back by the people and i've been doing it all my life. i know how to do the job. i understand picking up for people. >> thank you for hosting this forum. my name is charles stanley and i want to earn the trust for the united states senator. as a heart surgeon had to earn the trust of my patients and i was successful in my career and now in public service i worked hard to win the trust of the third congressional district and i hold myself in both of these endeavors to a standard a ruthless accountability, real results, not just talk the focus on getting results in solving problems. our country is facing serious challenges and we have to get yours about these challenges. our national security is at risk. our economy is stalled. people are hurting and our american values are being questioned around the world. it's time to get serious about solving problems a massive upgrade to the united states senate. a record of achieveme

every political prediction i have made on the way, i spent three weeks writing a long profile on bobby jindalyear so i don't think my instincts should be trusted. what's different about this tape, a, it's not public. howard stern, all the things that trump said on howard stern he says in public and there is sort of a sense that he said it in public it can't be that bad, also trump said when i talk in public i'm playing a character. as one of your earlier guests says he's not commenting on a woman's attractiveness he's describing his own behavior, weather truthfully or not, i don't know, he's saying this is what i did, this is what i do. i think that's what makes it worse. >> now, you have broken most of the stories about finances of the trump foundation leading new york's attorney general who is a democrat and big hillary supporter to recently bring a temporarily halt at least to the foundation's fundraising. the campaign not that long ago described you as a biased report who is clearly intent on distracting attention away from the corrupt clinton foundation. what was your reaction to being a

the only thing bobby jindal ever said that i thought was right on point, he said that he's never read the bible because he's not in it. [laughter] he threatened the family values when that's closely allied with evangelicals. the fact that his past and all the current revelations about his sexual behavior also undermines this. what i find so amazing is that the evangelical wing that was so powerful and that is placed in the republican party has been pushed to the side. i think there is a division in terms of how the voters, the voters who want to support trump, they may as the study shows identify themselves as the religious but that's not the attraction that's driving them to support trump. >> i'd like to piggyback on what -- >> go ahead. >> it was interesting in the survey we are trying to model, develop the models to predict support for trump versus support for clinton, education came out as a primary factor. but as a secondary factor, it was not whether or not someone was religious or religiosity. it was whether they defined themselves as religiously conservative that place them in

the only thing bobby jindal said was right on point, he said he has never read the bible because he ishe threatened the family values wing. they are closely aligned with evangelicals. and the that his past current revelations about his sexual behavior undermines -- what i find so amazing is that the event a local wing that was so powerful and had its place in the republican party has been pushed aside. there is a division in terms of how the voters who want to support donald trump, they may identify themselves as being religious but that is not the attraction that is driving them to support trump. >> i would like to piggyback. survey, we in the were trying to model and develop models to predict support for trump versus support for clinton, education came out as a primary factor. it wassecondary factor, not whether or not someone was , it wass or religiosity whether they defined themselves as religiously conservative that placed them in the disinherited and made them more likely to support donald trump. among people who call themselves religious moderates, we will -- we were not sure wh
