00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:01.500
THE PRESIDENT SHOULDN'T SHUT 
 


1
00:00:01.500 --> 00:00:02.100
DOWN THE GOVERNMENT. 
 


2
00:00:02.100 --> 00:00:03.166
>> I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT 
 


3
00:00:03.166 --> 00:00:05.834
PRESIDENTIAL AMBITIONS.
 


4
00:00:05.834 --> 00:00:08.200
MAJORITY IN LOUISIANA DISAPPROVE
 


5
00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:09.033
OF YOUR JOB.
 


6
00:00:09.033 --> 00:00:10.533
WHY IS THAT A LAUNCHING PAD?
 


7
00:00:10.533 --> 00:00:12.433
>> I DON'T CARE ABOUT POLL 
 


8
00:00:12.433 --> 00:00:12.767
NUMBERS.
 


9
00:00:12.767 --> 00:00:13.333
I NEVER HAVE.
 


10
00:00:13.333 --> 00:00:15.066
I WAS ELECTED IN LOUISIANA TO 
 


11
00:00:15.066 --> 00:00:16.300
MAKE GENERATIONAL CHANGES.
 


12
00:00:16.300 --> 00:00:18.467
LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN 
 


13
00:00:18.467 --> 00:00:18.867
LOUISIANA.
 


14
00:00:18.867 --> 00:00:20.767
NOW WE HAVE CUT OUR STATE BUDGET
 


15
00:00:20.767 --> 00:00:22.400
26%, CUT THE NUMBER OF STATE 
 


16
00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:23.600
EMPLOYEES 34%.
 


17
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:25.066
WE HAVE THE BEST PRIVATE SECTOR 
 


18
00:00:25.066 --> 00:00:26.233
ECONOMY IN A GENERATION.
 


19
00:00:26.233 --> 00:00:27.533
OUR ECONOMY HAS GROWN TWICE AS 
 


20
00:00:27.533 --> 00:00:29.333
FAST AS THE NATIONAL ECONOMY.
 


21
00:00:29.333 --> 00:00:30.600
MORE PEOPLE WORKING THAN EVER 
 


22
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:31.900
BEFORE AT A HIGHER INCOME THAN 
 


23
00:00:31.900 --> 00:00:32.467
EVER BEFORE.
 


24
00:00:32.467 --> 00:00:34.233
WE TRANSFORMED THE CHARITY 
 


25
00:00:34.233 --> 00:00:36.633
HOUSE.
 


26
00:00:36.633 --> 00:00:37.266
THAT'S THE THIRD WHEEL IN 
 


27
00:00:37.266 --> 00:00:39.934
LOUISIANA POLITICS.
 


28
00:00:39.934 --> 00:00:41.233
STATE WIDE SCHOOL CHOICE.
 


29
00:00:41.233 --> 00:00:42.400
IF I WERE TO RUN -- I HAVEN'T 
 


30
00:00:42.400 --> 00:00:43.133
MADE THAT DECISION.
 


31
00:00:43.133 --> 00:00:44.333
IF I WERE TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT, 
 


32
00:00:44.333 --> 00:00:46.033
IT'S BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN OUR 
 


33
00:00:46.033 --> 00:00:48.266
COUNTRY THE AMERICAN DREAM IS AT
 


34
00:00:48.266 --> 00:00:48.633
JEOPARDY.
 


35
00:00:48.633 --> 00:00:49.834
THIS PRESIDENT HAS DEFINED THE 
 


36
00:00:49.834 --> 00:00:52.033
AMERICAN DREAM AS MORE 
 


37
00:00:52.033 --> 00:00:52.767
DEPENDENCE ON THE GOVERNMENT.
 


38
00:00:52.767 --> 00:00:54.333
WE NEED TO RESTORE THE AMERICAN 
 


39
00:00:54.333 --> 00:00:55.000
DREAM.
 


40
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:56.633
IT'S MORE ABOUT OPPORTUNITY AND 
 


41
00:00:56.633 --> 00:00:58.934
GROWTH AND NOT REDISTRIBUTION. 
 


42
00:00:58.934 --> 00:01:01.633
>> ONE PART OF YOUR RECORD -- 
 


43
00:01:01.633 --> 00:01:03.367
YOU HAVE NEARLY A $1 BILLION 
 


44
00:01:03.367 --> 00:01:04.800
HOLE IN YOUR BUDGET.
 


45
00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:06.100
YOUR DEFICIT HAS GROWN.
 


46
00:01:06.100 --> 00:01:07.900
YOU DID A BIG TAX CUT AT THE 
 


47
00:01:07.900 --> 00:01:09.266
BEGINNING OF YOUR TERM AS 
 


48
00:01:09.266 --> 00:01:10.133
GOVERNOR.
 


49
00:01:10.133 --> 00:01:10.934
REVENUES HAVEN'T FOLLOWED. 
 


50
00:01:10.934 --> 00:01:12.367
>> THAT'S NOT TRUE, CHUCK.
 


51
00:01:12.367 --> 00:01:15.266
THE BILLION DOLLARS IS THE 
 


52
00:01:15.266 --> 00:01:16.467
ASSUME WE GROW.
 


53
00:01:16.467 --> 00:01:18.867
OUR BUDGET HAS BALANCED EVERY 
 


54
00:01:18.867 --> 00:01:19.166
YEAR.
 


55
00:01:19.166 --> 00:01:21.467
I HAVE HAD EIGHT CREDIT UPGRADES
 


56
00:01:21.467 --> 00:01:24.567
IN THE RATINGS.
 


57
00:01:24.567 --> 00:01:26.100
WE HAVE BALANCED OUR BUDGET 
 


58
00:01:26.100 --> 00:01:28.500
EVERY YEAR WITHOUT RUNNING 
 


59
00:01:28.500 --> 00:01:30.800
DEFICITS, WITHOUT RAISING TAXES.
 


60
00:01:30.800 --> 00:01:31.800
>> YOU HAVE TO.
 


61
00:01:31.800 --> 00:01:34.066
>> WE NEED TO DO THAT IN D.C. AS
 


62
00:01:34.066 --> 00:01:34.433
WELL.
 


63
00:01:34.433 --> 00:01:35.800
WE HAVE MADE TOUGH CHOICES, 
 


64
00:01:35.800 --> 00:01:36.934
UNLIKE D.C.
 


65
00:01:36.934 --> 00:01:38.633
WE CUT SPENDING $9 BILLION.
 


66
00:01:38.633 --> 00:01:39.834
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT CUTTING 
 


67
00:01:39.834 --> 00:01:40.266
GROWTH.
 


68
00:01:40.266 --> 00:01:42.667
WE CUT OUR BUDGET BY $9 BILLION.
 


69
00:01:42.667 --> 00:01:44.600
WE HAVE BALANCED OUR BUDGET.
 


70
00:01:44.600 --> 00:01:46.900
WE HAVE DONE IT BY GROWING THE 
 


71
00:01:46.900 --> 00:01:47.834
PRIVATE SECTOR.
 


72
00:01:47.834 --> 00:01:49.700
WE HAVE MORE THAN 80,000 JOBS, 
 


73
00:01:49.700 --> 00:01:51.333
MORE THAN $50 BILLION IN PRIVATE
 


74
00:01:51.333 --> 00:01:52.867
INVESTMENT COMING INTO OUR 
 


75
00:01:52.867 --> 00:01:53.166
STATE.
 


76
00:01:53.166 --> 00:01:54.500
WE ARE -- OUR ECONOMY IS DOING 
 


77
00:01:54.500 --> 00:01:56.033
SO WELL, WHEN I WAS ELECTED, OUR
 


78
00:01:56.033 --> 00:01:57.867
WORE ARE I WAS WE WERE LOSING 
 


79
00:01:57.867 --> 00:01:59.133
OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS.
 


80
00:01:59.133 --> 00:02:00.433
TODAY OUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE IS 
 


81
00:02:00.433 --> 00:02:02.600
FILLING ALL THESE GREAT JOBS.
 


82
00:02:02.600 --> 00:02:11.033
>> GOVERNOR BOBBY JINDAL, YOU 
 


83
00:02:11.033 --> 00:02:13.900
WILL DECIDE BY THE NEW YEAR.
