. >> we know what you did at mardi gras. >> we know what you did last summer. >> your mother and i -- >> have joined the circus. ♪ >> we're def punk. >> i'm a wizard. >> i'm just a muggle. i am the one who knocks. >> grandma is a dragon. >> we got matching tattoos. >> so, what did you want to talk to me about? >> we know you don't have health insurance. >> we love you no matter what but it's time to get covered. >> that's it. >> it's important. >> i know. i'll do it. i just thought -- never mind. >> your uncle burt, not your uncle. >> that is just pa thetheticpat. their advice, pick a time, choose a place and think about how you'll bring it up. here now with reaction, the cohost of "fox & friends weekend" tucker carlson and juan williams. you know what, juan? they want to turn the country into good little obama-bots and start a fight over the thanksgiving day table. throwing turkeys and pumpkin pie. really? we have to indoctrinate people into doing something they don't want to do over thanksgiving? >> indoctrinate? i thought it was cute and kind of charming. >> kutd and charming. >> b

. >> we know what you did at mardi gras. >> we know what you did last summer. >> so what did you wantabout? >> we know you don't have health insurance. >> we love you no matter what, but it's time to get covered. >> that's it? health insurance? >> now, this ad is encouraging parents to talk to their kids about getting insured. is this a way to take on creepy uncle sam commercials? >> well, it's certainly, i would say, a more moral message versus uncle sam which was encouraging young people not to get health insurance which i think is outrageous that you would think it is okay to try to convince young people that they should roll the dice and go without health insurance rather than do anything to support this president. i think this will help. we're seeing numbers from the website in new reports now that are showing young people are going to the website. they're interested in getting covered. if we could get the glitches worked out on the website, i think we'll be successful. >> krystal ball and james peterson, thanks for your time. before we go, a note. we reached out to koch industri

i eat them at mardi gras. >> but part of our concern was iowa and new hampshire going first, we weren'tetting our candidates or engaging enough of america. i think we engaged a lot of america in 2008, thankfully, but that's why we added south carolina and nevada. i think that's better for the proesz says and for the candidates. i think all this semp is on iowa so early, remember, people who have won the iowa caucus have not necessarily gone on to win the nomination. >> in fact, particularly true on the republican side. we just sort of, you know, looking back at folks on the republican side who have actually won the iowa caucuses in sort of recent years, and in fact what it mostly seems to be doing on the republican side is winnowing it down. the folks who win that iowa caucus are not necessarily the people who gone on to win particularly the republican nomination for the u.s. presidency. so is it still -- they're all there tonight. is it still a valuable thing? >> yeah. it zefl still has that winnowing effect especially in 2016 when the field is so crowded. but maybe that's more emblema

as a team having a tough time getting through all are probably a need to get the mardi it would be in because the roadside not get the festival. even today after the storm. retrieving bodies of the same time creating worlds the dire situation has led to widespread looting the leaflets open this petrol station because he was unable to travel. we cannot travel because we do not have fuel i'm going to use this to my motorcycle to my family and i can travel to other places to find food. because all the cool cca had been ransacked the house the philippine president has imposed a state of emergency and the city and sent additional troops. any effort to crack down on the looting if you see people getting food in like two minutes to considerations suggest that the movie. however it added to other things such as appliances we apprehend them despite the difficulties some me and started to trickle in. and officials costs and improve the long rumored to become three. nice huge international relief as that is underway but as sarah wilson from world vision uk told me adding some towns and villages

we're excited about events coming up in the future, mardi gras is right around the corner.a poetic city with a prosaic population, and that's an apt description, and i think it's why so many international travelers love coming to louisiana. ashley: so when we talk about the u.s., who do you see as your biggest competitors? what other states or, i guess, tourism attractions? >> well, you know, everybody in the america is trying to get people to come and visit tear state. we think we have a lot of unique things to offer, and that's why we had a record-breaking year last year. we think this year will be equally as good, and we think the future bodes very well as well. we see visitors from the united kingdom, france, virtually every country imaginable wants to come to louisiana. ashley: wow. thank you so much for joining us, louisiana's lieutenant governor. thank you. >> thank you, ashley. tracy: i've got to get there one of these days. ashley: it's fabulous. tracy: all right, quarter til, time for stocks now as we every 15 minutes, we head down the floor of the new york stock

because if we don't get this right, these communities where you see these dots where they are the mardi gras colors, purple, 2k3w0e8d, and green, these dots represent communities that are being affected by this program that needs to be changed and reformed. these are flood maps that are being issued. look how many in oregon and washington, california, texas. what really surprised me because i know the gulf coast well, that's the area, of course, that i represent, louisiana and i know texas and mississippi and florida very well. but the area that surprised me was pennsylvania and illinois and, of course, new york, new jersey, and the east coast because of superstorm sandy. but this is a national issue. it's not a louisiana issue, it's not a gulf coast issue, it's a national issue. and the other thing i want to point out is you'll notice that these flood maps are not just along the coast. some people say to us that are working on this, well, i'm not concerned because i don't represent a coastal state. well, heads up, everyone, even if you don't represent a coastal state, you're having flo
