we have done a lot of things in louisiana. we lifted the cap on charter schools for people that have been successful in charter schools, to lessen the contract, and also closed down ineffective charter schools. but that's not enough. you have to go further on teacher certification reform and you have repeal common core where i have been most disappointed in them is their strong support for common core. i do think they deserve credit with their support for charter schools and some of the reforms they have done in teacher evaluations. another area i would like to praise the president and first lady in specific in, joe biden as well, one of the priorities i know they have made is to help returning troops, help veterans, transition into private sector jobs. they have led the effort. they called attention to the need to, for example, reduce excessive state regulations that prevent veterans from transitioning to good paying jobs. in some instances, for example arguing that -- a specific example -- someone in the military that's had

courts louisiana -- >> louisiana. >> that is it. the french began a colony in 1699. there is some french exploration down the mississippi before that. so the spanish are nervous about the presence of these french guys, the presence of a french colony that might conceivably be a threat to mexico and new mexico. and that, i think, is the primary reason. the spanish expansion into texas is generally a few missions with a small number of soldiers to go with them. a good day to remember is the founding of san antonio and 1718, that's the most significant example of spanish expansion. it is a site that -- well, what do the spanish look for before they found a mission or settlement? if you recall from new mexico, for example. >> and established settlement already. >> yes. that's exactly what they find. san antonio is a place with irrigated fields that has been established by local indian communities. so these spanish, in keeping with their pattern, are trying to move into an area that seems compatible with their style of life and also a place with a can grow food to support

they are great partners to the cabin in louisiana. [applause] would love to hear about how you came to this issue and some of the struggles that you had. >> first of all thank you senator senators called for bringing us all here together. we live in an exceptional nation. some people don't like to see that but we do. we had a higher standard of living, the greatest quality-of-life of any people that have been on this planet and you have to ask yourself why it's because we are the freest people. we value freedom. we value freedom. we will die to defend freedom. we employ every aspect of our lives. we bb that you should have choices. is it jefferson memorial saw they define freedom as having choices. and it's because of the choices we would see but for some reason we don't think those choices should extend to parents with their child's education. it's mind boggling. i don't get it. we see how freedom has created such while, such prosperity how it has allowed us to become and exceptional nation we need an exceptional public school system

it was a crucial breeding ground for the louisiana state bird. after all the devastation, there's now a big community effort to restore cat island. >> the nation and the world didn't understand how bad this oil spill was. >> the images were iconic. louisiana state bird covered in oil. a symbol of a gulf disaster. p.j.hahn was there to document it it. >> we would get out there before the workers would get out there. once they started to see the poor birds covered in oil, gasping for air and the pictures came back, we said yeah we're going to get help. >> authorities did not want the media to see that, did they? >> they absolutely didn't want us to see that. and as an amateur photographer so to speak, i was out there photographing, taking photographs, and i had a lot of the media with me. and we happened to catch some birds trapped in the oil, covered in oil. >> so if that story had gotten out. there may have been more of an intensity to save cat island sf. >> i believe more intensity to get more equipment down here because we were being told there

in terms of the louisiana governor's race, to those of you don't know we have an open primary.i am term limited so we have -- we will have an election later this fall where everybody runs against everybody. the top two candidates within if there's not a winner in the primary would then go to a runoff. since we've done the open primary system for open election we've always had a runoff with one exception which was in 2007 when i one in primary. the are a number of candidates that i have announced they're running or considering running. on the republicans and we've a number of candidates. it's early but i think there's a chance for the first time in our states issued we could actually end up with two republicans in the runoff in the governor's race. it's not inevitable that there is a chance that could happen. who those candidates will be there's a number of candidates. it's way too early. they have not started engaging each other. they have raised significant funds and it got name id already and beginning to make their move. i would encourage these candidates to make known their

you know i used to teach high until in baton rouge louisiana, 25 years ago so i'm familiar with louisiana's troubled legacy in education. under your watch there's been some real progress made. curious if you could talk a little bit about some of the key pieces there and the role that school choice has played in helping to push that forward. >> well thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> first of all i want to thank the senator for having us for hosting us. i was so impressed one of his very first speeches on the floor of the senate when he was first a u.s. senator was exactly about this topic. i know he has asked us to recognize everybody else in this room. i'd like to ask the crowd to give a great round of applause to our host our senator, tim scott. [ applause ] and i think he said the reason we're here better than anybody else could. i mean i just want, just for emphasis, the circumstances of a child's birth shouldn't determine their outcomes as an adult. unfortunately it's happening too often in our country. if we allowed that to happen, i wouldn't be here today. my dad one

a judge dismissed a lawsuit filed in 2013 by a louisiana flood board.g billions of dollars in damages from oil and gas pipeline companies. "the new york times" called it, quote, the most ambitious wide-ranging environmental lawsuit in the history of the united states. shell, chevron, and bp were moong the companies in the lawsuit. the u.s. geological survey estimates that louisiana's wetlands could disappear in as few as 200 years. the united states interior department estimates wells drilled by the oil and gas industry have caused anywhere from 15 to 59% of the erosion. the lawsuit would have forced the industry to help pay for an estimated $50 billion in coastal restoration and protection in the state. governor bobby jindal praised the judge's decision, he opposed the lawsuit and signed a bill last year trying to squash it. his bill was found unconstitutional. the flood protection authority is expected to appeal the judge's decision in an effort to get restitution. i'm joined by ring of fire radio host and also america's attorney. i should point out t

i guess this morning's louisiana governor bobby louisiana governor bobby gentle, been our guest twice before. glad you agreed to come back got off to a fast start in life, graduated from brown university at age 20 and then studied at oxford as a rhodes scholar having turned down acceptances to harvard medical school and year law. i guess became head of louisiana is 13,000 employee department health and hospitals and at 27 he became executive director of the national bipartisan commission on the future of medicare and then came at two-year tour as president of the university of louisiana system which led to president bush nominating him at age 30 as assistant secretary of health and human services. next he ran and lost the race for governor in 2,003 but in 2,004 was elected to the house. he was elected governor of louisiana in 2,007. at 36, the youngest the youngest in the nation at that time and was reelected with 66 percent of the vote in 2,013. the parents of three young children. thus ended the biographical portion of the program. as always we, we are on the record. no live bloggin

congratulations on in louisiana we have done several things. the single most important i'm proud that we have increased the number of charter schools that we have changed the way we evaluate our eachteachers. and 100% of the parents get to decide where our children go to school. we have doubled the percentage of kid filing. it is now down to 4%. there is more work to be done, but it shows you you don't have a wait a long time to make dramatic improvements. the reason this is so important, look at the little boys and girls in this room they only have one chance to grow up. i invite anyone that opposes school choice or educational reform why they should wait. of all of those laws and changes, the single most important thing we did -- you can give letter grades you can lift the charter school cap, allow good operators to have more than one school otherwisedauthorized at a time. you can have online schools. the most important thing, and it's not real complicated is you let the dollars follow the child instead of making the child follow the dollars.

the french are expanding west from louisiana and canada. it is a little bit different than what you saw in the 17th century. there are still missionaries involved, but there is more of an emphasis on trade, furs human beings, but less of an emphasis on missionaries conversion of indians. the french, as a mentioned earlier, are quiet happy to trade guns to western indians. that does give them an advantage when they're competing with the spanish. what are the french looking for as they go west into north america? why would they bother to go at all? >> [indiscernible] >> they are still hoping that there will be some relatively easy water route leading to the pacific. this seems far-fetched. and the first decade of the 19th century, they are still thinking that lewis and clark will still find a gentle plateau in the center of the continent. there will be this nice navigable river. instead, this is your moment. when lewis and clark get west of the first range of the rockies, what did they discover? idaho. one range of mountains after another. bu

you are right, there are some reforms and new louisiana -- reforms in the louisiana that we need in terms of spending, and we have not come post that. they have a lot of the same problems when you try to reduce costs. you know, it can be very difficult because people want to hold on to institutions. and government funded things that they have had for many years. so it has been a very tough poll for governor jindal. i think that we have a deep ranch that we are running for 2016. host: and in the "usa today" this morning, paul reyes is in new york. the gop snob of univision a missed opportunity. the fact that the rnc will not be sponsoring a debate in 2016 on univision for spanish-speaking americans. guest: of course, i'm not directly affiliated with the rnc and i have no decision-making on that. i think we should certainly be inclusive, but i think one of the problems that had last time was we had so many debates that we -- we wore ourselves out. had one candidate reading up on the other candidate beating up on the next candidate. then the democrats, of course, only had one candidate. that

in louisiana it's about $8600. so that $8600 traditionally would have gone to a failing public school or a public school. in retrospect if that child had a voucher, the average tuition at a private school or catholic school that is participating in our program is about 5,000, 4, bs 5 500 to 5,000. when you look at the cost of a child, that is a huge savings to taxpayers. >> when you talk about this bureaucratic creep can you give a couple examples to folks who maybe don't do this stuff every day to what does it look like and where are these hundreds of hours going that aren't being spent with kids? >> sure, rick and i think you make a good point. every hour spent on reporting those are hours that are not spent on kids. and as -- since i see many charter school students here, and staff, i think you would agree with me that charters are staffing more leanly, so we don't have the traditional staff to spare to dedicate to these hundreds and hundreds of hours of projects. our local district asked us to have one person a
