Owner Bobby Jindal who joins us.
Governor nice to see and what a big night here was -- sit and right now the margin is quite large in fact it's a resounding about fifteen or sixteen points this is no closer race like it was about five point margin in 2010 when.
Had Governor Walker and mayor Barrett squared off so your thoughts on this Phillies right now it whopping -- And -- what a great night -- for Wisconsin but for America you know a lot of the experts slot the pollsters thought this be a late night Wisconsin.
Obviously a late night Chicago I think -- -- a lot of people the Obama campaign very worried about these results.
What it shows is when you've got a leader willing -- make the tough decisions Scott Walker not only cut spending he's grown private sector jobs he's got exactly what he promised the voters he would do.
They rewarded in -- again tonight just like they did a year and a half ago.
Pres Obama's done the exact opposite Washington we need leaders that we'll think about the next generation not just the next election.
-- it's a great night Wisconsin's a great night for America.
-- government all of this martian keeping it holds fifteen points or so that his exceed -- -- -- is hugely significant because that means in this state that because there's.
Yet there's a huge album get out the vote dad drive it in -- Democrats Republicans.
You know and that means probably that a lot of Democrats were peeled off and voted for Governor Walker we look at these numbers 57 the 42 I'm not gonna and that.
But then that is a huge message here and -- stayed beyond just the -- -- -- that's exactly right just four years ago the president pres Obama won this state by fourteen points tonight got Scott Walker cruising to an easy victory.
-- look at what happened this campaign the hard left.
-- after Scott to remember why they started this recall the first place -- because he had the audacity to say to stay workers state government unions that they should pay at least something towards their own pages on health -- something that's very common in the private sector by the way.
Very common most taxpayers are paying these bills.
He had the audacity and make them do that -- -- -- Close -- three billion dollar deficit without raising tax cut property taxes he's now they've added private sector jobs unemployment rate is low as it's been since 2008.
And look what happened this campaign for the last month -- not even seen one.
At about collective bargaining you've not seen one at.
About the issue is supposed to causes recall the first place so even a hard left I think realize they have a winning issue -- vacation that started this whole recall.
If you're having heard them talk about it they've they've try to distract voters by -- everything against the wall to see what would stick.
The president himself would even come to Wisconsin you know I guess if you're a Democrat out there that has stood up for the president you might get a -- if you're lucky.
Not exactly great leadership obviously you've got a president can read the polls.
Did not want to come and be a part of this -- maybe he realized that he would have been a drag to -- maybe.
He'd -- -- radical policies for whatever reason he decided not to come from Minnesota.
Not to come from Chicago -- been so easy for me to come to Wisconsin and try to help bear any didn't do that.
I think it speaks -- I think you're exactly right this was a -- that was not considered for years ago was -- safely democratic state.
Now even pres Obama's considering a toss up stay with tonight's victory.
I think this is -- state not only can we win in Wisconsin by the Republicans -- governor Romney can also be very competitive can win in Michigan Pennsylvania on his way to.
Taking back the country the reality is.
This shows conservative reforms work they've worked in Wisconsin that -- in Louisiana.
We need to see them work in Washington DC this sends a strong message to pres Obama.
Not predict -- that the white also try to minimize this election we'll try to say this was insignificant.
It's not a sign of things to come.
If -- gone their way they would in the first ones to say this is a sign for November.
The reality is this is a very telling sign this is a very telling sign about what's -- -- come in November as we begin to take our country back.
Now you say that their President Obama the Obama campaign is gonna say that this victory is insignificant when I when I heard you say the first thing I thought.
Is that I imagine Democrats here and thank.
Insignificant.
We gave -- a fourteen point win in 2008.
-- so insignificant that you Lehman common helpless when I was they have a lot of friends here to fourteen point margin.
That's -- insignificant.
He does he does send a message to the people Wisconsin this -- -- an insignificant race but he's told them.
There have -- neither could even Intel year.
Absolutely -- and actually is made this their freeing your race they spent tens of millions of dollars.
-- thousands of activists in the states and celebrity -- day and liberal extremist in his state.
What this shows is the hard left agenda is not what American voters want.
But that the president promised -- -- -- -- that the deficit in half by the end of his first army promised to -- -- -- programs.
Promising to get the private sector economy drawings done none of those things.
Scott Walker actually had the courage to do what he promised the voters he -- he said he was gonna do when he was elected he got in office he's cutting property taxes before so after they've gone up over a billion dollars.
That the forget he's added over 30000.
Private sector jobs.
-- reforms local school boards and schools are benefiting from those reforms.
What this shows is that conservative reforms work.
The American people the Wisconsin voters saying I think the American people are saying we want leaders -- wanna make tough decisions.
Wisconsin was at a critical point because of the mess that -- -- governor -- left behind for Scott Walker to fix our country's at a critical point.
We need that same kind of principled conservative leadership in Washington DC to get back on the right tracks we don't -- the way these European socialist models.
Like you -- in -- and these other countries.
We can't afford another four years -- pres Obama -- Scott Walker so tonight is that good policy is great politics.
You all the experts would say don't take these very bold Spain's don't take these greatest fans don't take on the unions don't make these tough decisions.
He did the exact opposite he's being rewarded with a great victory night.
I think a lot of politicians in Washington DC they could take -- from Wisconsin.
I know you're from Wisconsin and let me give a great shot out the great state of Wisconsin -- -- Paul Ryan of the congress break the -- leader.
Ron Johnson the Centre right leader Ryan writes I know the -- you show earlier you're the chairman of the party brand leader Scott Walker are great governor so.
Wisconsin's got a lot of great things for the country right now.
Does they cute and -- are gonna see a map -- -- my Governor -- very showing them a different break thank you governor and street.
