this is in louisiana. chris? >> wolf, thank you. louisiana is a different state. there are lots of big swings of change within it. so you'll have to watch the numbers and percentages as they come out. now, let's look at a constructive argument that works on the gop, maybe also on the democratic side, which is your party has changed. your party is dissatisfied. you've been saying the same thing for a long time and you haven't been getting it done. we hear that all the time on the gop side. on the left, they have been starved, all about it, my ears were ringing with it growing up. now we're hearing it from bernie sanders. how real of a threat is that to hillary clinton? >> it's like a tennis match. you change the momentum if you break serve. bernie sanders held serve. he won two states that are 90% white, nebraska and kansas. tad devine predicted that they would do well there because what is left of the democratic party, as they become more republican, are more liberal. he needs to show that he can expand beyond that. ted cruz did a little bit of that. he showed tha

and for both parties, the primary in louisiana. we're all looking forward to louisiana. it is an actual primary. that means a lot of people voting. i look at steve kornacki. >> this is a new experience for us, there election season. this is the first time we've had results coming in with no exit polls. the poll are closing in louisiana. we'll do this the old-fashioned way. we'll see where the votes are coming in from. we'll match them up against our expectations. what are they? this was the poll. the last poll before they voted in louisiana. you see trump had a double digit lead. the next couple hours will be pretty drama. they'll tell us a lot about the story that come out of tonight. we know already, this has been a good night for ted cruz. but will this be a great night for ted cruz? if ted cruz can pull the upset. if he can overperform in louisiana, as we've seen him overperform in kansas and in maine. this could be a great night for him. also, if donald trump can't win here, if he ends up losing three states. and if he loses three states, that's trouble for him. the

it was a huge deal for louisiana tech. it was a huge deal for louisiana. there were interviews over the press how this wide receiver was coming to louisiana tech and it have a coup for the school's program. a couple of months later, a few weeks ago the same young man, jonathan jones uncommitted. he decommitted from louisiana tech. he put out a statement that sent a little shiver down the spine in louisiana, even down the spine of people who are not college football fans. i hear there are a couple. explaining why he was decommitting. he said i'm grateful for the blessing and the community to receive an offer from louisiana tech university. in light of recent political events, i must with a heavy heart rescind my verbal commitment to the louisiana tech bulldogs. when he cited recent events in taking back his statement, what he meant by recent political events was this guy. bobby jindal. he was the governor of louisiana for the past eight years. when he came in as governor in the first place, the state had big budget surpluses. by the end of his first year in

in 1795, a louisiana planter successfully granulated sugar in louisiana. it's a strange climate zone. nobody had been able to take at the full way before that. in 1795, with the health of someone from that help of someone from haiti who had come -- with the help of someone from haiti, he was able to granulate the crop. right around the same time that the first sugar crop was being granulated, indigo was not a viable crop anymore. so, this plantation transitioned at some point after that. by about 1805, it was a sugar plantation, and it still is today. sugar is a gigantic industry in louisiana. all around us are historic cane fields that are now sent to the dixie cane fields and sugar refineries. three successive generations ran the plantation, always with the labor of enslaved africans and african descendents. over the course of 100 plus years that they owned this land, there were many generations of people enslaved here, so the population would have shifted over time with market forces. the highest number we ever had recorded at one single time as enslave

we'll see if louisiana acts more like louisiana or texas. looks like he will come in a solid second in kentucky. >> gene, look at this other question, though. if kasich, most of us thought did a great job in the debate this week. just like we thought trump didn't do a great job. rubio. suppose he moves up well. he comes in say a strong second or a strong in michigan and knocks rubio out and also makes sure the vote is divided, again. the anti-trump vote has three contestants in it all vying for number two. >> ted cruz who has won a whole lot more primary states than marco rubio has to at this point be considered the number one anti-trump. the number one trump alternative. so, everybody stays in the race tonight. and, of course, because kasich isn't really playing in these states and he staked everything on ohio next week. marco rubio is effectively staking everything on florida next week. so, another week where everybody is in and everyone is splitting up the anti-trump vote is another pretty good week for trump. >> how does cruz, back to yo

louisiana? i love louisiana! >> sreenivasan: trump topped pre-primary polls in louisiana, but the primary was restricted to registered republicans. >> this is better than real estate. this is more fun. >> sreenivasan: rubio has been telling audiences that a vote for trump, who leads in convention delegates, is a mistake. >> if he is our nominee, it will split the republican party, and it will be the end of the modern conservative movement. >> sreenivasan: ohio governor john kasich is also campaigning next door to his home state in michigan and touting his experience in congress writing a balanced federal budget in the 1990s. >> balancing the budget is a problem because the debt right now is so high, but the real problem is it's keeping us from getting the jobs we want. >> sreenivasan: kasich came in fourth in kansas. in winning there, cruz followed in the footsteps of the past two republican caucus winners-- rick santorum and mike huckabee-- positioning himself as the most socially conservative

louisiana, nebraska as well. we're following this story across the country and we'll start with kyung lah in louisville, kentucky, where republicans will caucus today. what are you expecting there? >> reporter: well, victor, they just announced that this caucus has begun. you're starting to see some of the people, the very first voters here at this location starting to sift into this caucus room. let's follow some of the people. there are about 100, 150 people who are in line. and what you're seeing here around the room are people, volunteers, and you can see that everything's in alphabetical order everyone here, as we look over this way, they find, whether or not they're a registered voter -- they had to be registered by december 11 13i13 -- 31st. and once they have their form, their empty ballot, they end up in these corners, and then they fill in their bubble. what is happening here is, it's not a typical caucus where you see a lot of people going from one room to the other and talking to undecideds. this is g

in louisiana it's 20%. so once again if these numbers hold, it looks like you're going to have a situation where he is not able to pick up too many delegates in louisiana and perhaps not in kansas either. >> that was the same story in texas when he failed to get to 20% and in alabama as well for marco rubio. we saw a similar story in main as well. so donald trump will take questions. he'll make a statement. earlier today he was in wichita, kansas. he came out and said kansas if we don't win here, i am not going to be happy. in addition to that he was in florida around the orlando area earlier today. that's the i-4 corridor that has a lot of the swing votes that determines the outcome in florida. >> donald trump said he will not speak until all of the races are called. he will be speaking shortly though. kentucky, this is the first time they have done this gop caucus in kentucky and it was finished at 4:00 this afternoon, but they are still not out with the results in kentucky. odd, but we're waiting for tha

in 1795 the first crop of sugar in louisiana. we're in a strange climate zone so it couldn't really -- nobody had been really to take it the full way before that. so in 1795 with the help of somebody from haiti who had come over after the revolution, he granulated a crop and all of the planters followed suit after that. sugar could make a whole lot more money than indigo could. and so right around the same time that that first sugar crop was being granulated, indigo was not really a viable crop anymore. so this plantation transitioned at some point after that by about 1805. it was planted in sugar and it remains planted in sugar till today. sugar is still a huge industry in south louisiana and all around us our historic cane fields still planted in cane that is still sent off to the domino sugar refineries. so three generations in this plantation. over the course of the 100 plus years that they owned this land, there were many successful generations of people who were enslaved here and so the population would have shifted over ti

host: kay is our next caller in louisiana. caller: i would like to ask michael white so many of these originated in louisiana. michael: new orleans and louisiana are central to the reconstruction story. you not only have the afro creoles, who make reconstruction working the best chance of new orleans, but you have 10,000 former slaves that move into the city and all of these extra confederates. most of the south was destroyed and they all moved to new orleans as well. you have other people trying to deny them. louisiana will have the democratic arm of the party. amidst all of this, three of the greatest of the 19th century cases emerge. : outstanding supreme court lawyer. you said earlier that justice campbell argued in the -- i mayhouse cases have misunderstood you about how many justices did that. is he argued the case before the supreme court after he stepped down the supreme court. he represented puerto rico. it may have died right before the decision was handed down. and i correct? correct -- am i cor rect? this is really

louisiana is the only primary. clinton is favored to win louisiana. it makes sense because bernie sanders isn't really contesting louisiana. so she's expected to win there. kansas, that's a caucus so there's basically been no public polling except for one poll which showed secretary clinton up by ten. you can take that with a grain of salt. it's hard to poll caucus states. in nebraska there's no polling, but it's a caucus state. senator sanders has been farg well in those kind much states. main will hold its caucus on sunday, another one with no polling. the sanders campaign says they have a chance to win all of the caucus states and louisiana where hillary clinton is up by a lot and it's not a caucus. the clinton campaign is conceding sanders could win nebraska and kansas, but they say they will win louisiana with a large margin and have more delegates. as more main, nobody knows, but those are the best predictions we can make right now. that's the best expectations the campaigns can set on primary caucus eve.

trump is expected to win tomorrow in louisiana. although in contrast to what felt like super tuesday this week, there is a question mark hanging over his contest for the weekend. mr. trump has faced criticism in the past during this campaign, obviously, he's never faced anything like the onslaught of criticism he got this week. is that going to make a difference in his numbers in the contheft weekeest this week. if they will take a toll, i think it's fair warning that that toll if we see it hurt his numbers this weekend, you probably won't see it in louisiana tomorrow because of one logistical fact. >> that is that 40,000 republican votes were already cast in louisiana before the whole republican parity turned on trumped a started criticizing him this week. louisiana early voting started two weeks ago, it ended a week ago. given the lead mr. trump had in the polls in louisiana and nationwide as of two weeks ago. i think it's fair to guess he probably banked a big lead in louisiana just during early voting. early voting happened bet

louisiana. we showed you this a minute ago. there is a huge disparity in louisiana between the votes cast today and in early voting, where donald trump had the advantage. trump wins louisiana overall, but that is a sign maybe that the vote is coalescing around ted cruz. so what are the implications of that? these are the next states to vote. we were looking at mississippi. we were thinking that mississippi based on what we had seen was a trump state. however, based on what we saw tonight in louisiana, with ted cruz on election day closing that gap, you now have to take a real look at mississippi, is this a state where ted cruz could coalesce that anti-trump movement and beat trump? and michigan, the difference between open and closed primaries. trump doing much worse in republican-only environments. the bad news for trump, michigan is officially a closed primary state. the good news is that term "closed primary" doesn't mean the same in every state. what it means in michigan, if you're a voter a

skilled rice growers brought into louisiana and south carolina. so you find these very directed, you know, trading going along the western coast of africa, going into specific markets in the united states to fill the plantations there and build that crop wealth. so most of the people here were coming as we said, from west and central africa. a few people born in the caribbean who had already been, you know, coming from long trading there. but most people are coming internationally. and so something that's important to note about the movement across the atlantic during the time of the atlantic slave trade is that the vast majority of settlement of the new world was african compulsory settlement. so of all of the people who crossed from the old world to the new world until 1807, four out of five came from africa. so the vast majority of movement was enslaved africans being forced on ships across the atlantic and they're not really good estimates about the actual number. the figure that's kind of come at is about 12.5 million people. and that's not i

in louisiana, almost half of the vote is in. we've projected hillary clinton is the winner, a lopsided win over bernie sanders. right now she has 70.9%, bernie sanders 22.4%. a very impressive win in the only primary of the night in louisiana. right now we're standing by to hear from donald trump. he's getting ready to speak in west palm beach. once he speaks, we'll, of course, have live coverage. i think he's waiting for the results to come in from kentucky right now. 70% of the vote in kentucky is now in. it's just been updated. donald trump is ahead with 34.9%. ted cruz is in second place, 30.8%. rubio in third with 17.3%, kasich with 15.3%. 70% of the vote is in. trump has the lead over cruz by 5,704 votes. we'll see what happens in kentucky. that's the only outstanding contest of the night. chris? >> all right, wolf. with the benefit of having heard your voice for some seven hours now, might i say that nobody conveys the importance of these proceedings the way you do. and the reason that we are waiting on kentucky is we don

and for both parties, the primary in louisiana. we're all looking forward to louisiana. it is an actual primary. that means a lot of people voting. i look at steve kornacki. >> this is a new experience for us, there election season. this is the first time we've had results coming in with no exit polls. the poll are closing in louisiana. we'll do this the old-fashioned way. we'll see where the votes are coming in

louisiana, what's the wiggle room? >> what happened here is early on, we called this early, we had big margins we were showing you, and we were showing you the polling from right before the primary showed a giant donald trump win. the early numbers we put on the screen, yet look at this. three quarters of the vote in, and this is a tight race, five-point lead for donald trump. it's been -- the margin has been going between 5,000 and 10,000 votes all night. here's what's happened. basically, this has to do with the early vote. they did early voting from february 20th to 27th in this state. it looks like more than 10% of the vote statewide is people who cast their ballots early. look at the difference. the difference between what happens in early voting and what's happening today with voting. let's take this parish, about 100,000 people live here. ted cruz has won this won. he won by a couple of points over donald trump. it's basically all reported now. now 15% of the vote in that parish was cast long before tonight. let

louisiana and kentucky tonight were the two big ones. maine we did well in maine, really well in maine but it was much smaller than louisiana, kentucky, kansas was also smaller and we came in second in both. we won louisiana and kentucky. they were the big ones, okay? >> reporter: [ inaudible ]. >> so the question was asked about waterboarding and water boarding is a very, very touchy subject. it was original lily asked two debates ago to ted cruz. and he didn't want any part of that question. and they asked me. and i said i'm totally in favor of waterboarding and if i can, i'd like to do much more than that. just so you understand, we're playing by a different set of rules than isis and others, especially in the middle east. we're playing by a different set of rules beep ha. we have laws and rules and regulations. they have nothing. they chop off people's heads, they drown people in massive steel cages. they drop the cage for one hour, they lift it up and there are 30 dead people. so here's the story. i will obey the laws but i will try

kansas, louisiana, maine and kentucky for republicans and kansas, louisiana and nebraska for democrats. 155 delegates at stake for republicans and 109 for front-runner donald trump came in and made a last-minute decision to head to kansas -- >> i wanted to be in kansas, wanted to be here so badly so i just had into another direction and i told the pilot we are goininto kansas. >> senator u.s. senator ted cruz also and kansas. >> we had 15 primaries so far and we have been able to one over and over and over again from the grassroots. we can focus on substance, we can focus on issues and the way we win this primary and the way we beat hillary clinton in november is we tell the truth with a smile. eaton absent from the super saturday states was marco rubio that did not stop his supporters back i am a marco rubio supporter. he can bring the republican party together but what is more important, he can bring the nation together. >> n the democratic side polls show clinton with a big lead in louisiana. which has a large number of african-american voters. helped her rapid victories across asab

ted cruz-- ten tucky and louisiana-- kentucky and louisiana. democrats has a primary in louisiana. bernie sanders has won the kansas in nebraska. hillary clinton clinched the louisiana primary. the latest now from al jazeera's correspondent who is live for us in washington dc. we've got trump and cruz now in the lead and both now urging the other republicans in the race to drop out. >> reporter: that's right. it's a very interesting saturday here in the u.s. in this election. these primaries and caulkes. ted cruz had a good saturday. he won two states and came in a very close second in two other states to double-stranded donald trump. they're saying ted cruz over performed and in some ways donald trump underperformed, at least looking at the polls going into this. we did hear from donald trump just within the last hour. he held a press conference and he point blank said that marco rubio should drop out. marco rubio was really competing against ted cruz to try to take the mantle of being the alternative to donald trump, but marco rubio and john kasich pretty much disappeared on satu

the historic flooding in parts of louisiana. bill karins is here, but let's start with reporter joel rodgers from our affiliate ktal. he's live in hotten, louisiana. how is it where you are? >> reporter: jonathan, good morning. it is wet. it's rained constantly for the past 48 hours and i'm here in the subdivision, tall timbers. an area hit very much by the hard rain. flooding has been a major factor here. more than 75 homes and vehicles are submerged near the first street of here in tall timbers. large two story houses have water going over the doors and windows. personal belongings are scattered everywhere. neighbors are trying to help each other out, because they're left without power. as you can see from this video just a breathtaking video as you see water up to the rooftop of many of the houses. and cars some of them you cannot see. some of them you can barely see. it is a big problem here. the flooding, it's affected so many people. like so many other places around this area. and, guys, it will take a while for this water

he was deeply concerned louisiana, at deforested, thomas jefferson's louisiana purchase, these rich hardwood forestss allover louisiana gone, stripped bare. fdr worked hard with the rockefellers and others to create reserves, the national wildlife refuge and many others to save louisiana. if you see the ragged boodle of louisiana, delta national wildlife refuge is fdr at work saving that great fishing area for future generationss. as for the afters franklin roosevelt himself would go on a yacht of the astors and go to the florida keys. they went to port jefferson and got saved by fdr did, dragged toward the national park, one of fdr's conservation gambleds. >> host: if we hadn't had a depression what we have a conservation we have had? >> guest: no. one of the great ironies, roosevelt's freedom to do what he wanted, congress in 1933 said do what you got to do. what shocked people is he said i want to buy a lot of land and rehabilitate it for wildlife. bring the wildlife back, the land -- living and farming and sustainable living, so he sent a man when all over in an oldsmobile buying up land

close addd at the louisiana and texas river. governor abbott warned people the danger is far from over. >> it's important that i emphasize that listen that the rising waters are not over yet. people need to remember about the possibility that the water could continue to rise for another day or two. >> abbott declared an emergency. he requested federal disaster aid. >>> more rain for texas and louisiana today. let's bring in meteorologist derek van dam. >> that is right. more rain for an already saturated environment. the ground is like a sponge that's reached full water capacity. it cannot hold anymore water content. more precipitation in the forecast tonight. we highlighted the shading of green and yellow. especially near the border of texas and louisiana. in fact, that's the hot spot for the flooding. the sabine river. the area that separates texas and louisiana. records have fell at the river gauges that stood over a century. in other weather news, a warm up along the east coast. don't get used to that. the forecast in the we

hillary clinton won in louisiana. on the republican side, ted cruz with big wins in kansas and maine, donald trump squeaking past in kentucky and louisiana. donald trump and hillary clinton, they continue to lead in the critical delegate count right now. hillary clinton has 1,130. bernie sanders has 478, and that does count superdelegates, everyone. we like to count the actual race for delegates. >> we just like to say the word super. >> that, too. >> as much as possible. >> on the republican side, donald trump maintains his lead with 384. ted cruz has 296, and cruz won more delegates tonight. >> that's absolutely right. let's bring in our panel. cnn political commentator and republican consultant margaret hoover. cnn political analyst and editor in chief of "the daily beast," john avlon. political strategist and executive editor of the congressional black caucus, and senior politics editor of the "daily beast," jackie kucinich. and ron brownstein, senior editor at "the atlantic." oh, yes, they're all here with us. le

and now, thus far, we do know that he did@ end the day with wins in louisiana and kentucky. of course, florida, now a big focus as our primaries are coming up inn just ten days. beach, leann local ten news. >> anchor: thank you, to a developing story, a man falls off of a cruise trip sailing off the coast, the coast guard now racing to find him. reporter derrick is live in miami beach with an up date. >> reporter: and tonight the u.s. coast guard is promising to continue their search throughout the night but with every passing moment, obviously the hope, dwindling that that man will be fynd alive, let's take a map at where this all happened. this is where that cruise passenger went over board, more than 30 miles, off of the coast, and that passenger, identified by the coa guard as 46-year-old, david mosman from the huhuand texas area and went over board at 3 a.m., as the ship was makingack to the port ever glades and let's show you the ship that he was on as a passenger, the royal caribbean, navigator of the seas. officials say that he was on the tenth deck when he fell into

louisiana and new orleans is key for lincoln from the very start. obviously there's going to be very little traction in texas. in fact andrew jackson hamilton barely hang out in texas. he spends most of his time giving lectures in boston. in north carolina there's very little traction. glue in tennessee, arkansas and the deep south state louisiana, lincoln pins hits hopes. he pins his hopes that those states during the war can be restored. this is critical in understanding lincoln and reconstruction. for lincoln, reconstruction is both a means toward an end as well as an end in itself. the eventual hope, of course, is to win the war and reunify the nation. well how are we going odo that. one of the ways to do that, he believed, was to pick off whatever confederate states he could, have them adopt new state constitutions and readmit representative to congress. in doing so he believes you would be weakening the power of the confederacy and advancing the war effort. and it is along those lines that lincoln focuses. he focuses on having elections held i

what they say is look at the delegate count in louisiana. it's almost as much as if you put nebraska and kansas together. ultimately they think they'll have more delegates by the end of the night than bernie sanders. the other line we keep hearing from the campaign is they say hillary clinton has a larger delegate lead than barack obama ever did in 2008. implicit in that is that bernie sanders can't win. that's basically what they're saying, although they won't say it outright publicly. but privately this is something they believe and have for some time. we see hillary clinton pivoting to michigan, to the primary on tuesday night, to the debate tomorrow night. she has spent a lot of time in flint, a lot of energy. her national political director has said that if this was a white affluent community, basically this wouldn't happen, so this is a chance for her to come tomorrow night as the campaign sees it and to make her case that she is paying attention to african-american communities like the one in flint, michigan. important voting bloc in

and so, thank you for louisiana and thank you to kentucky. i want to really thank the folks from maine and from kansas. we came in second, and we we really didn't spend much time. we spent two hours in one place and 2 1/2 hours in another, and we came in with a strong second. so i want to thank those folks, and i want to congratulate ted on maine and on kansas, and he should do well in maine, because it is very close to canada, and let's face it. pla [ applause ] i think that mar eco rubio had a very, very bad night. personally i call for him to drop out of the race. i think it is time that he dropped out of the race. i really think so. i think it is time. i don't think that tonight he can get up and rant and rave and he did great and he comes in third and fourth and every time he comes in third and fourth, you have to be able to win and he has not been able to win, and it is time for him to drop out. i would love the take on ted e one-on-one and that would be so much fun, because ted can't win new york and can't win new jersey and can't win

sanders with a huge lead over clinton, but in louisiana clinton came out on top with the huge lead over sanders with 70 percent of the vote, the results did little to change the delegate map, clinton keeps her significant lead in the race for the nomination. >> the super saturday, show down started off with a big win for senator, ted cruz, the republican swiping voters by a two to one margin in kansas and takingnghe state of maine. >> we are the only campaign that can and well, beat donald trump in this race >> it was a super saturday, from gyms and barns, snaked across locations in kansas, nebraska and louisiana. bernie sanders, the democrats securing delegates with wins in kansas and braska. >> we want to make sure that a republican does not go into the white house. >> reporter: hillary clinton in michigan touting her victorm in louisiana >> i am grateful for everyone who turned out to support us, but now all eyes,, turn to michigan. >> anchor: saturday's show dowow between clinton and sanders and a democratic caucus in maine on sunday, will set the stage for the debate in michigan an

he lost to donald trump by a little bit in louisiana. he kind of banquised marco rubio, saying he is the only person who beat donald trump and i'm doing it regularly and i'm the only person who should be against donald trump. he said that to supporters in idaho tonight >> our campaign is the only campaign that has beaten donald trump over and over and over again and that can and will beat donald trump over and over and over again. our campaign has now beaten him not once, not twice, not three times, but if kansas and maine both hold, seven times we will have beaten donald trump all over this country. >> ted cruz has maintained that narrative. one of the things that donald trump did say in his remarks just now, we will hear from him in a little bit, he said that ted cruz should have done welll in maine because it is so close to canada. so having a little bit of fun >>> the old thing about ted cruz being canadian and not american. >> yes >>> talking about marco rubio now. he had been the great hope for the establishment, but his footpath t

hillary won louisiana. and kansas and nebraska are sanders pickups. >> that african-american vote, so important in louisiana. hillary clinton has shown to have that. >> she has more delegates. the breakdown of delegates today could be anyone's guess here. it would appear there's always a delay especially in caucus states, how they award the delegates. you just don't know. in nevada famously last go-round eight years ago for democrats, hillary clinton had won the caucus state of nevada and ended up with barack obama winning the state and the delegates. so caucus states can do that to you. it can be very weird. conversely, you could have a narrow win in a caucus state, even a primary state, then get all the delegates. that happened to donald trump in south carolina. it's always about this delegate rewarding. how they are going to do that. i'm wondering for donald trump, you leave this night, i don't know what the expectations were going into this. but i think -- i think a lot of people thought ted cruz could

ron paul lost the louisiana primary in 2012. he didn't just lose louisiana by a hair. congressman ron paul lost the state of louisiana by a full head of hair and a beard. rick santorum got 49% of the vote in state that year, mitt romney in second with 27%, then game newt gingrich and then, then came ron paul, fourth place, single digits, a measly 6% of the vote. yeah, that's what jeb bush used to call a jackpot, but that's a terrible showing. in louisiana that year in 2012, a 6% showing in the primary, that was good for precisely zero delegates. or so even thought. every state party picks its delegates by slightly different means. in louisiana in 2012 turns out they had a primary and then a caucus. it was a caucus that nobody paid attention to except for mr. 6%, ron paul. at this low key, hoe hum nobody is paying attention bureaucratic state caucus followed the primary, ron paul supporters maneuvered themselves into the majority. they got themselves 12 delegates for ron paul. everybody who watched the louisiana caucus on tv, thought they saw ron paul lose there. they d

and of course he has a strong base here louisiana. a lot of folks, evangelical voters, conservatives, and this is a very red state. so donald trump, again on the stage here, starting off on touting how far ahead he is here louisiana. >> okay, jonathan, i'm going to try one more question for you. and i don't know if you can hear me clearly, but if you get a sense at the trump rally, the democrats have their rally tomorrow, and hillary clinton has a pretty strong lead there. >> reporter: yes, she does, not so much of a lead that bernie sanders hasn't done much campaigning here at all. but tomorrow, louisiana, on the republican side, 46 delegates but even more on the democratic side. 59 delegates at stake. hillary clinton, while she was not in the state today, she sent her husband, bill clinton today, and he was spoke at a rally today. jobs is the big thing. the economy, while the rest of the country is doing well, louisiana is in a recession right now, a lot of oil workers are losing their jobs, the price of oil is down, and that's what

louisiana has a state board of them walmart's and funeral directors. its supposed purpose when created in 1914 was to combat infectious diseases. it has however long since become a regulatory -- it has been taken over by the funeral industry it ostensibly regulates. at the time the monks began making and selling caskets, 9-10 of the board members were funeral directors. one of whom was principal income sources was selling caskets. in the 1960's, louisiana had made it a crime to sell funeral merchandise without a funeral directors license. to get a funeral directors license, the monks would have to have had stopped being monks. 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 abe would have to become a funeral establishment with a parlor able to accommodate 30 mourners and they would've had to install and involving facility even though they only wanted to make rectangular wooden boxes and -- and not handle cadavers. the law requir

like they did that year if louisiana in 2012. in nevada in 2012, they also took over the state republican convention and again, even though ron paul soundly lost the caucus there months earlier, ron paul came out of the state convention with 22 out of the 25 state delegates. and the romney people tried to stop them. they that they learned their lesson from four years earlier. they tried to keep up with the intrigue and trickery. at the 2012 convention the ron paul campaign had been handing out slats, green pieces of papers with ron paul people who they wanted elected as delegates. if response the mitt romney people struck back allegedly by making up fake ron paul slats that look just like the real ones. the romney campaign, look at this, fake. allegedly hand out matching green sheets of people printed on the same hue, right, and they said, hey, these are the ron paul delegates, but the names listed were the names of mitt romney backers. now, whether or not the romney campaign was behind that dirty trick, it didn't work. they were

ten inches of rain has fallen at the louisiana texas border. >>> parts of texas are flood after heavy rain there, too. look at the houston area where water is draining slowly from some rural spots there. underpasses and exit ramps on the freeway are also swamped. after a possible security breech, it has suspended online pool that was supposed to help protect tax payers. identity protection pool gave anyone whose information had returns a pin to verify their identity before filing another return. it turns out identity thieves stole these pins and used them to file hundreds of returns. this is why it is a bad idea to procrastinate filing your taxes. >>> carbs could be the new cigarette. we'll know too many carbs are a danger to your waistline. they may also cause an increased list risk of lung cancer even if you have never been a smoker. researchers at md anderson cancer center compared patients with lung cancer to 2500 without. smokers with a high blood index were more likely to be diagnosed with lung cancer than white bread, pretzels, white potatoes have carbs that turn into sugar. th

a state of emergency is in effect for parts of louisiana. we have the story from new orleans. >> from louisiana to texas to tennessee, much of the south is under several feet of water after days of heavy rain. forecasters say the rain may not let up until this weekend. northwestern louisiana was one of the hardest-hit places. drone video shows water inundating neighborhoods near shreveport. thousands of people were told to leave their homes. those who stayed had to use boats to get around. >> roadways are completely flooded. you can't see any of the signage, basically feeling your way through high water. >> for rents of water swept cars and trucks off highways. louisiana's governor called up the national guard to help dozens of residents and motorists stranded. across the region, authorities say dozens of people and animals had to be rescued. >> this was an event that kind of sneaks up on you. as fast and as much rain came down at one time, you're really not proactive for, you kind of become reactive to it. >> heavy rains and streams were se

she cleaned up in louisiana. in kansas and nebraska, much smaller delegate hauls and hillary clinton did better than sanders in louisiana. so we are now at a point where sanders has to win more than 60% of the remaining delegates in order to win this nomination. to do that, you have to win some 70% of the raw vote. so explain -- i mean only vermont has he done that. and that's his home state. so we're getting to the point where viable -- two reasons for sanders to stay on. keep her from moving too far to the center on ideology, keep pushing her on progressive issues. and second to stay in because you never know what the fbi might come up with. and that's the other aspect. >> all that is great, but let's talk about the real buzz that is in this building. >> i did have a sitting president onset. >> i thought you were going to bring him in here. >> there he is. "house of cards." >> one sitting president on, yeah. and he has an interesting -- he talks about a fictitious potential debate between track underwood and do

i want to point to louisiana. you already talked about it. this is really the big prize of the night. 46 delegates up for grabs. since you mentioned kentucky, i want to go there. what's great about this caucus as you know, rand paul country no longer in the race, of course, but he was really the one who created this caucus. you had to be there for six hours. that's what it took. you had to be a very committed participant in kentucky. but if you look so far, there's only 11%. we can't really make too much of it but trump clearly ahead. of course, you have senator cruz not too far behind. but that's what's going on. one open question, rand paul as a libertarian, where are all those votes going to go. we will see with only just over 10% there for kentucky. you talked about maine. we were all watching donald trump give that speech on thursday from maine. as he said listen, i took a detour to come here so please come out and vote. that's what maine looks like right now. kind of quiet. as you said, too early to tell, only 12%. cruz in the lead whic
