most importantly, george shepley in louisiana. louisiana and new orleans is key for lincoln from the very start. there is going to be very little traction in texas. andrew jackson hamilton barely hangs out in texas and spends most of his time in new york and boston and washington. in tennessee, arkansas, and louisiana, lincoln hinges his hopes. he pinned his hopes that those states during the war can be restored. this is critical to understanding lincoln and the construction. -- reconstruction. for lincoln, reconstruction is both a means toward an end as well as an end in itself. the eventual hope is to win the war and reunify the nation. how are we going to do that? one of the way to do that was to pick off whatever confederate states we could and have them adopt new constitutions and readmit representatives to congress. you would be weakening the power of the confederacy and evidencing the war effort. along those lines, lincoln focuses. he focuses on having elections held in those states, particularly in louisiana tennessee, and

louisiana has a state board of enbalmers and funeral directors. its supposed purpose when created in 1914 was to combat infectious diseases. it has however long since become to what has called regulatory capture. it has been taken over by the funeral industry it ostensibly regulates. at the time the monks began making and selling caskets, 9-10 -- nine of the 10 board members were funeral directors, one of whose principal income sources was selling caskets. in the 1960's, louisiana had made it a crime to sell funeral merchandise without a funeral director's license. to get a funeral directors license, the monks would have to they would've had to earn 30 hours of college credits and to a apprentice one year at a licensed funeral home to acquire skills they had no intention of ever using. and their abbey would have to become a funeral establishment with a parlor able to accommodate 30 mourners and they would've had to install and embalming facility even though , they only wanted to make rectangular wooden boxes and -- and not handle cadavers. the law

so despite winning the louisiana primary and having the same skin tone as louisiana gumbo-- ( laughter ) trump could actually end up with as many as 10 fewer delegates than ted cruz. so trump won but he lost. like, who's running the louisiana primary, steve harver? like, what's going on here? ( laughter ) ( applause ) and by the way, a topsy-turvy delegate system is one of the few things in america that's bipartisan because on the democrats' side, they have superdelegates. it's a group of people who have been bitten by radioactive spiders and now vote for any candidate that they want. it's the most boring superpower ever. right after hawkeye, right after hawkeye. i'm sorry, because archery is not a superpower, people. you should be at the olympics. that is not a superpower. in wyoming, for example, for the democrats, bernie sanders beat hillary clinton by 12 points beneficiaryut because all of wyoming's superdelegates support clinton, she ended up with more delegates. so bernie won, but he also kind of lost. it's-- it's like playing monopoly against a child. you can spend the whole gam

and i've been president in kentucky and california and now in louisiana, and worked in louisiana and wisconsin, and in virtually every state, our state legislatures have told me, i've said -- i've told them, why do you take the medicaid money? because we don't want to leave any federal dollars on the table. and that is the biggest influence that i can see with legislators. now, some with political aspirations have not done that because they have said, i've got future political aspirations. but within a couple of years, they go after that money and i can tell you that louisiana did not take the medicaid money until the new governor got in. it was the first act that he did. that we've been leaving millions and millions of federal dollars on the table. states, highway funds, why do they invest in highways before they invest in higher education? why do they invest in medicaid before they invest in higher education? why did the land grant universities get created? because the federal government gave them lands that they could sell under the partnership that states had to do the following

this would bol ter louisiana's -- bolster louisiana's economy, help working families and improve america's ability to trade with the world. mr. president, louisiana's economy relies on the thriving maritime industry. in 2014 a study from the transportation institute showed that 54,850 maritime-related jobs contribute more than $11 billion annually to the louisiana economy. one in every 83 louisiana jobs is connected to the domestic maritime industry, nearly twice that of any other state. with ports along the mississippi and red rivers, our state sees vessels of various size and type while loading cargo, these ships must drain ballast water that they had taken on to maintain the balance of the ship. this can have the varying degrees of environmental effects with costly and confusing state and federal regulations making compliance difficult. senator rubio is sponsoring the vessel incident discharge act which creates a uniform enforceable and scientifically based national standard on ballast water discharges. this is needed in order to simplify the highly complicated and overly burdensome pat

it doesn't surprise when you say louisiana politics is corrupt. they all laugh and say let's go to new orleans and get a drink. but elsewhere and in other places like florida and like west virginia, and like kentucky and like wisconsin all those places you can see it happening there and nashville, and atlanta, and other places, and if you think about it, people who read the book or think about what's going on in their time town, they will realize that they have street money in their town or people do stuff like that, it happens, now there would be some people who would say that we need to understand the scope of the problem to deal with it. in other words you have people like --dash mac who would pick up the stories that you say and they would say, because because of this vote buying or this fraud we would need a photo id or because of xyz we need to purge a voter rules regularly. so isn't the scope issue, how big it is important? >> guest: it's important and i would think some researchers would do it. it's one of those things that if you think ab

he stumbled in colorado and louisiana. speaking here in albany to a crowd of thousands, he suggested to them the system is rigged. >> so we have a rigged system. in colorado, they were going to vote. you is saw what's happening in colorado. one of the big things. it's a fix. because we thought we were having an election and a number of months ago they decided to do it by, you know what, right? right? they said we'll do it by delegate. they will do it by delegate. it's not nice. the delegates were all there all waiting. the head guy. in fact, one of them tweeted out today or said today by mistake something to the effect, see, never trump. look what we did. if i go to the voters of colorado, we win colorado. so it's a crooked system. >> reporter: the reality is when donald trump was up against ted cruz in louisiana, he did win, but narrowly. to see ted cruz out organize him behind the scenes in the state conventions. that is something the trump campaign hopes to rectify. trump gave us the general message hitting hillary clin

it's the number one issue in louisiana. we may not get funded, but that merit-based scholarship program probably will. and so, that's a big challenge for us. because we're dealing with the politics of a middle class that feels disenfranchised. because they weren't a part of the federal aid equation. and all they could turn to is loans. sarah: so, i think amy raises a good question. there's the level at which states have -- there are a lot of programs where states have sort of bought in. and that's been the history. we've seen a more recent turn recently, especially over the health care issue. and probably at least one factor in that is because it was so strongly identified with one political party. so, you see a backlash on those other states. i am not so sure that the free public college debate doesn't suffer from the same politics. but i think that we have to, you know, ensure whatever we do, that we would work on something. that we just try to gauge against those consequences, as much as we do. my concern with the states
