on the other hand i think that louisiana is a really interesting example. here's no place on the planet really where you have more powerful style than you do in louisiana, that's a mind blowing thing about that landscape is you have the biggest oil companies in the world, america's biggest fish food, you have new orleans and millions of people, you have the biggest conference in the hemisphere, it is massive, it's the big boys all sitting there together at those tables and they manage to figure out a recreation plan that they got total consensus from everyone from exxon mobil to the audubon society and the entire louisiana state legislature and again, it's this pushing harder to figureout , if we can restore wetlands, and gary graves is the freshman republican congressman from louisiana and he used ted up the local restoration of authority in louisiana and he tells a story i repeat in the book about disappearing wetland and most of louisiana's privately owned, almost all owned by gas companies so he said the environmentalists were all like, take the land awa

that is what the people of louisiana are looking for. let's get this country back on the right track. that is why i'm asking to be your next u.s. senator. i am charles boustany. moderator: we have about one minute left. let's go down the line. mr. kennedy: i am voting for donald trump. that's it. i'm voting for donald trump. >> donald trump. >> secretary hillary clinton. mr. duke: i'm voting for donald trump because the only guy fighting against this rigged system. i will be the only guy fighting alongside him. >> democratic nominee hillary clinton. >> i have already voted for donald trump because i'm concerned about who names the next bunch of supreme court justices. that is why i support donald trump. moderator: candidate, thank you for indulging me at the end as we try to get this to work for four different tv networks across the state. it is difficult to time it out. you can just rep. nolan: -- can't just rewrap it all up. thanks to my colleagues. we would like to thank dillard university for hosting us this evening. a reminder -- ele

but the louisiana senate race continues without him. the runoff election take place in louisiana on december 10th. there's so much at stake here. right? this is how the senate looks now. senate horseshoe, pretty even. right now it's 48 democrats and 51 republicans. democrats picked up two seats last week, but republicans retained control of the senate narrowly. you can see the one clear dot there that's not filled in, that's what we're talking about tonight. that's louisiana. if a republican wins that, that would make the difference 48-52, it's be a four-seat difference, republicans would have a fairly firm grip on that chamber, but if a democrat would win, that would make the difference between the democrats and republicans only two. that is a gap democrats can work with. that is a gap that stuff might happen. you know, winning this louisiana senate seat could mean a world of difference for democrats trying to stop the trump agenda, as the best website in the world, wonkette.com, put it today, if a democrat won that seat, it means it wo

the louisiana parishes at the time mpwere described as being bulldozed. you think back for a minute. wait a minute. this is 1876. there aren't gasoline engines yet. there aren't bulldozeerres. why were these parishes spoken of as being bulldozed and the answer is as a reporter from the "new york times" wrote back who had gone down to louisiana after the election, the term bulldoze comes from the practice of whipping blacks with a bull hip if they said they were going to vote republican. and that is the source of the term we still use, bulldozer and bulldoze. it was giving blacks the dose of the bull whip if hey dared to think about voting republican. so one thing that is very clear is that had this been a fair election, had outhern blacks been allowed to vote freely and fairly, the republicans would have run away with the election. but they were suppressed, kept from voting in most southern states except for three, and some of those that the republicans still controlled, in louisiana, florida and south carolina where they controlled the returning votes. i

you probably wouldn't recognize the name steve scalise, congressman from louisiana. but he's the republican "whip" in the u.s. house--the third highest ranking house leader and someone who steers legislation on the floor. and when he came to help first district congressman rod blum's campaign, the mayor saw the opportunity to talk about the city's flood project. louisiana congressman scalise was a few weeks too late to see the rising waters of the cedar river and miles of temporary flood barriers. but cedar rapids mayor ron corbett wanted this city battled the high water. he's made it a point to talk to any national politician about why permanent protection is so important. " if we can get the executive branch behind us and the legislative bran we can maybe shake this loose. " the city spent more than ten million dollars in september for temporary flood protection. part of the permanent system of hoped-for berms and flood walls depends on federal funding promised back in 2014. but property values here are so low compared to larger urban areas cedar rapids' flood contr

to understand why, we head south to the louisiana bayou. it's where an industry that the bp oil spill is finding itself threatened with extinction by foreign competition. these fishermen could be shrimpers lost, and theirs could be a lesson for us all. today, we're going shrimping in venice, louisiana. acy cooper is our guide. how important is the shrimping business to your personally? acy cooper: it's everything to me. you know, my family does it. my dad's 80 years old, he still fishes. and my two boys has entered the business and my daughter, she married a fisherman. sharyl: louisiana's shrimp industry has been a family affair for more than a century. >> while the men condition the flow -- boats, the womenfolk do their knitting. down where louisiana is neither land nor sea, the bayou dwellers home becomes the base of annual operations that keep mom, pop and the kids busy as the dickens. sharyl: venice is one of the south's shrimping capitals. cooper's sons make four generations of fishermen. who's that coming up here? youngest one. sharyl:

the louisiana marshlands has lost a significant amount land recedes. the new maps from nasa and the u-s geological survey show much of that recession came after the b-p oil spill in the gulf of mexico. researchers say the oil kills or weakens vegetation along shore -- and when that happens, the soil is more prone to erosion. mission accomplished for two chinese astronauts who are now back on earth. china's shenzhou 11 space capsule mongolia. the pair spent 30 days on the country's small space station -- making it china's longest space mission so far... during their stay -- they conducted experiments and equipment testing for the launching of the station's core module in 2018. nick brown is ordered to pay the estate of bobbi kristina brown. and a dress worn by marilyn monroe sells for nearly 5 million bucks! the details are in tonight's pay 36-million-dollars to the estate of bobbi kristina brown. this-- two months after gordon was found "legally responsible" for the death of bobbi kristina. brown's estate filed a wrongful death lawsuit against gordon la

because this guy, i think, is the reason why louisiana territory becomes america. because this is the guy that kills the french troops. french troops are dying by the thousand. so that when thomas jefferson sends ministers to paris to negotiate the purchase of new orleans, because as jefferson said, whoever controls new orleans is our natural enemy. right? because you think of that western expansion. if you're a farmer, if you're in the west, if you're in kentucky, or points west, you're not thinking to lug your produce back across the appellation mountains. -- appalachian mountains. you're looking to float it down the ohio, down the mississippi to new orleans. if spain holds out, if france holds out, you've got a problem. so jefferson's ministers go looking to buy new orleans. they arrive in paris and the french minister says, have we got a deal for you. because napoleon has decided to unload. the war with britain, the disasters in the caribbean, convinced napoleon to wash his hands of the french empire. this is not jefferson's vision. this is not -- well, maybe it

the spill was here off of louisiana. it got to the beaches of pensacola, some to destine, some tar balls to panama city until the wind started sending it back the other way. but what happened to florida's tourism industry on its gulf coast? for an entire season the tourists thought there was oil on our beaches, and tourists did not come for an entire season all the way down to marco island, naples, all of these beautiful, sugary white sand beaches, including northwest florida beaches, didn't come because they thought there was oil there. that didn't just affect the airlines and the hotels. it affected the dry cleaners and the restaurants and all of this largest industry in florida which is the tourism industry. that's one reason. another reason is there are so many of the bays and estuaries along this gulf coast where the critters are hatched that supply the fish stocks for the entire gulf. and of course there are stocks that are hatched here that migrate out into the other oceans. but there was a third reason, and that r

tonight at six, we'll hear from the louisiana congressman on what could happen in congress. thank you, dave. the cedar rapids community school district is taking an active approach to semester. but the district doesn't want students to get anywhere near this many. that's why after three unexcused days a letter gets sent to parents. at five, phone calls begin. at eight, home visits begin. and finally at 15, the family is sent to linn county district court. the district says this is an informal meeting between itself and the fam representation, i'm there and we do a mediation. maybe there's something we missed or haven't covered to help that family " tonight at 10, hear how the district's "holistic student" approach that works to help these families. hundreds of business people in the cedar rapids area got together for breakfast this morning and to honor a few of their own. this was the 25th year for "good morning, cedar rapids," an event that presents three local businesses with bravo awards for manufacturin g in marion, cobble hill restaurant in cedar rapids, and strategic pr

henry johnson had been the governor of louisiana, so this is not an insignificant person. they agreed to sell the slaves to johnson and baby for -- $118,000. depending on how you count, that is about a minimum of $3 million today. they made sure to sell to catholic owners, so as not to portray -- betray their religious obligation to care for the souls of the slaves. in fact, that was one of the conditions put on the sale. but, they did not ask the slaves whether they would like to be , which wasisiana notorious to black people in the upper south for being a death sentence. i should say that some of these documents can be very tough to take. i think it's important to confront directly the evidence of slavery. i do recognize that they can be very difficult to look at. out that the 1838 sale is one of the most richly documented mass sales of slaves in american history. a window intofer the domestic slave trade. the uprooting and transplantation of virtually an entire slave community from the upper south of the deep south. historians estimate that roughly one million slaves, on

. >> what would washington and hamilton have thought of the louisiana purchase? which even jefferson thought he might not have the authority to do. stephen: generally speaking, the restrained were more when it came to this question of expansion. hamilton did not share jefferson's constitutional qualms. in other words, hamilton had no problem with the constitutionality of a acquiring that territory. whereas jefferson did. although i have to tell you, even there, i am not convinced. jefferson is such a -- you have to keep peeling the layers back. there is a public jefferson, then you have to dig for years on end to find the real jefferson. i am not sure that the qualms that jefferson had about the constitutionality of the louisiana purchase was genuine or posturing to leave a legacy for his successors of presidential restraint, and a limited interpretation of the constitution. let's say he was serious about that. hamilton did not share that view at all. again, i have to qualify that by saying that generally speaking, , perhapsalists hamilton less so, were concerned

just go back one step further, the louisiana purchase was by thomas jefferson in 1803. it was enabled because the credit that alexander hamilton had established was so great that he was able to borrow $15 million to double the size of the united states. that $15 million today, what would you guess it's worth? >> i have no idea. >> $250 billion. $250 billion. so that $15 million in 1803 to 2016, $250 billion, you get a sense for what percentage annual rate of return that would be? it's 3.5%. so 3.5%, that's just the value of your money. at $250 billion is not worth what the louisiana purchase was, especially since they're all red states, but that $250 billion, if you value what they bought, it's a lot more than that. but the value of your money has fallen at 3.5% a year. >> we're going to get to elon. one of your biggest holdings. we've got questions. i know you've got some too. we expect to hear you and him go back and forth a little bit. >> great. >> in a few minutes. for now, sara, back to you. >> we're looking forward to that conversation, carl. thank you. when we com

i am not sure that the qualms that jefferson had about the constitutionality of the louisiana purchase was genuine or posturing to leave a legacy for his successors of presidential restraint, and a limited interpretation of the constitution. let's say he was serious about that. did not share that view at all. again, i have to qualify that by , generally speaking, the federalist, perhaps hamilton less so, were concerned about to rapid of an expansion. i think partly because they field that the territories that would be acquired might well become slave states. and would tip the balance of power in favor of the slave states. which it did for a time. to andrewm jefferson jackson, with the brief exception of john quincy adams, then you have virginians and tennessee owners -- tennessee people who are slaveowners that dominates -- dominate the presence. my guess would be hamilton would say this is in the national it is within opposition of his own party. but not on constitutional grounds, on policy grounds. does that answer your question? two folks up front. be to the policy differences betwe
