kentucky jailhouse. six months, a year ago, if i had a common said that a christian woman was going to be thrown in jail, locked up in jail, for living her face, the media -- would have dismissed me -- -- faith, the media would have dismissed me is a nutcase. and me, we embraced and i said, thank you.

[applause] senator cruz: and if the

ayatollah does not understand that, we may have to help introduce him to his 72 virgins.

same misery, stagnation, and malaise. same feckless foreign policy. in fact, the exact same countries, russia and iran, openly laughing at and marking the president of the united states. -- mocking the president of the united states. gives me soanalogy much hope? because we know that story ended. [applause] senator cruz: all across this country, millions of men and women rose up and became the reagan revolution. [applause] and it did not come from washington. washington despised ronald reagan. by the way, if you see a candidate who washington embraces, run and hide. [applause] it turned this

country around and i am here to tell you the same thing can happen again.

washington wants us divided. washington wants conservatives wondered. evangelicals over here, conservatives over here, libertarians over here, tea party folks over here. that is how, if we are splintered, that a moderate runs up the middle with 23% of the vote, steals the nomination, and loses to hillary clinton in the general election. you know what? we have seen that movie before. i am not interested in going to see rocky 19. we have a simple task before us. unite, we wives in.

[laughter] governor jindal: knowing how close i am to donald trump, one of the organizers gave it to me and asked me to give it back to him so i was taking a look at it. this is very different from my bible. i am not sure what translation -- i do not know what translation you use. my bible, it does not say the art of the deal on the front cover.

[applause] governor jindal: if senator mcconnell is not going to fight for conservative principles, he needs to follow speaker banner's example.

i will say something that may surprise you. i am actually angrier with the republicans than the democrats. you have got a: bunch of republicans that do not do the things they say they will do. remember when i said, honest socialists, guys like bernie sanders who are fighting for socialism. why won't our guys fight for freedom and america? [applause] governor jindal: on issue after issue, all they know how to do is give up. give us the majority, we will get rid of obamacare and amnesty. we did our work. we voted, we donated money and time. we still have obamacare. we still have amnesty. by the way, i am the only candidate with a plan to get rid of all of obamacare. not obamacare light. let's restore freedom to america's health-care system,

not socialism. [applause] rico couldndal: secure the border in six months if they were serious about it. let's be honest. the democrats do not want to secure the border. the republicans, we are not the party of big government but we are becoming the party of big business. big business interests more open borders -- interests want open borders and common core. peopleime to fire these and secure the border. [applause] governor jindal: but they are no better this year. so now mitch mcconnell, before the fight even starts, says we cannot defund planned parenthood. folks, let me tell you something. if the republican party cannot defund planned parenthood, if we cannot make protecting innocent human life a winning issue what good is the

republican party? it is time to fold up the tent and start a new movement. [applause] i will tell you what we did in louisiana. we are not talking about defunding planned parenthood. we launched an investigation with the fbi. we canceled the medicaid contract. they are getting no taxpayer dollars in the state of louisiana.

[applause] governor jindal: now we have this awful iranian deal. conned president obama and he conned congress.

it takes a two thirds vote to reject the iran deal. every senate republican voted for this bad bill except for one . thank him for not doing it. including the senate republicans voting for president. rubio, cruise, paul, they all voted for the bill. that is the time for the senate republicans to stand up. if we are not willing to use the nuclear option to stop iran from becoming a nuclear power, what good are the senate republicans? if we are not willing to break the senate rules -- [applause] folks, it isal: time to forest term limits down -- force term limits down their throats. it is time to get citizen ors who live under the same rules that they pass.

it is time to clean shop in washington, d.c. [applause] governor jindal: i want to talk to you directly about this presidential campaign. i will be honest with you, i do not have a famous last name. my daddy was not president. i do not have a reality tv show. this is what i've got. i have got the backbone, i have got the bandwidth, i have got the experience to get us through it. why is that important? there are 16 folks running. on the republican side. they all talked a great game. is easy to give red meat applause lines. there is the problem. we have a great talker in the white house today. talk is not enough. we need a doer. is giving a speech was not enough we would be on easy street. every republican will tell you they will cut governments bending. -- government spending.

it sounds great. only one candidate has actually done it. we have several former governors running and only one has cut spending and you are looking at him. no other governor has cut spending. [applause] we have got for senators and they have never got anything in d.c.. give great speeches. the filibuster and pat themselves on the back. i am glad they have got big letters. -- bladders. but does not qualify them to be president. we cannot afford four years of on-the-job training. the next president is going to be across the table from an ayatollah or a putin. we better hope he does not needed teleprompter to make it through that meeting. [applause] governor jindal: we cut government spending in louisiana

26%. 30,000 fewer bureaucrats from the day i took office. the credit upgrade. that is what we need in d.c. we do not need to slow the growth of government. you either grow government spending or the american economy. it is either or. shrink government spending it will swallow us all. i want to tell you something that may be politically incorrect. if you are looking for somebody to manage the slow decline of this country, go vote for somebody else. if you want to vote somebody who will do the things you're not supposed to do or say, joined our cause because i am going to say something that is politically incorrect but true. the idea of america is slipping away right in front of us. what do i mean by that? my parents came here 45 years ago in search of freedom and opportunity. they are coming for the same

idea but it is slipping away. too many americans take it for granted. what do i mean? $18 trillion in debt. planned parenthood selling baby parts across our country. a president who has declared war on france fats and a truce with iran. -- trans fats and a truce with iran. [applause] governor jindal: we have a president who will not say the words radical islamic terrorism, a supreme court that thinks it is smarter than god. the left is trying to change the american dream into the european nightmare. we celebrate the fact that we have more americans on food stamps and ever before in a record low participation in the workforce. we have the government creating new entitlement programs when we cannot afford the government we have today. the idea of america is slipping away from us and we do not have a moment to waste.

it is not about next week or next month, right now and generate. we need to fight to save the idea of america. shame on those wolfsburg giving fools inhose washington who are giving away the idea of america. the idea of america has created more wealth than any other civilization in the history of the world. it has done more to fight for the defenseless and freedom than any civilization in the history of the world. [applause] governor jindal: we have got a once in a lifetime, once in a generation opportunity to apply our conservative principles to save the idea of america. that is why a couple of weeks ago i came to this town and i gave a speech and criticized donald trump. some of you may have liked it, some of you may not have liked it, it does not matter.

i have to tell the truth. and here is the truth. i love the idea of donald trump. i do. i love an outsider. i look somebody who was politically incorrect. i love somebody who says the d.c. establishment is full of nonsense. i thought donald trump was entertaining. youought it was great when give out lindsey graham's phone number on national tv. [laughter] governor jindal: i did. i thought it was funny when he showed people fully asleep in jeb bush's rallies. i thought it was good when he gave helicopter rides to the iowa state fair. i thought it was fantastic. here is the problem. the idea of donald trump is great but the reality is very different. he is not ais that conservative or a liberal or a democrat or republican or independent. he is a narcissist. [applause] i mean, he gets the stu -- pissed off.

he does not care about policy. we as a conservatives have a choice. only going to turn our proven we going to-- are turn to our proven principles, or to a man who cares only about himself. in makingrested donald trump great. he said that his favorite book was the bible. cannot name one verse that have an impact on him. olks, he has not read the bible. you know he is not read the bible because his name is not in the bible. isn't about donald trump. this is about turning to our conservative principles. we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to save the idea of america. him on the elevator and send him downstairs and tell him he is fired. the show has been entertaining and we loved him but it is time

for us to fight for the idea of america. for i close, i want to say this. not not embarrassed, i am ashamed to tell you i am a christian. [applause] governor jindal: i was not born, i was not raised christian. it took seven long years for me at the age of 16 to give my life to crest. i accepted jesus as my personal lord and savior in baton rouge, louisiana. [applause] governor jindal: why do i tell you that? we need somebody who is willing to fight for us. look, christians are under physical assault all over the world. our christian values are under assault your home. make no mistake about it. the left wants to take god out of the public square. they want to redefine marriage. mishandle if you classified information, you can

run for president. as you do not believe in gay marriage, they lock you up in jail. that is what is happening in america today. we are not just talking about christian values in louisiana. we have been rated the most pro-life state six years in a row. we have fought to get rid of common core. i will say this slowly so even the left understands. the united states of america did not create religious liberty. religious liberty created the united states of america. it is why we are here today. [applause] governor jindal: i am not just here to ask you to join a silly campaign. i am here to ask you to join a cause. it is time to believe in america again. my
