I think is an important thing and as a utility commissioner, i can tell you, my job is a nonpartisan job. I can tell you, it is basically something that all candidates need to address from either party. Host thank you for the call.

Marco rubio yesterday at the freedom summit. [video clip] marco rubio have you seen the movie taken . He has a line and it says that our strategy will be we will find you and we will kill you. Host marco rubio talking tough yesterday at the freedom summit. Good morning. Caller good morning, steve. I just have a comment that my governor, scott walker, has been elected three times in four years. He is the only governor to ever survive a recall because he is doing exactly what he said he would do. I saw him when he was an executive in the county right next to mine, a mostly democrat county. The man has won six straight elections. Because of one thing, he does what he says he will do. His message the state is moving in the right direction, that is why he keeps getting elected. He would do wonders for the country. He was say he has no Foreign Policy experience, i would say president obama spent most of his first term running for president , he had no international experience. Governor scott walker can do what it takes to fix this country, get us back to where our allies respect us, and our adversaries fear us. Host can he get the nomination . Caller i believe you can. The mans message resonates throughout the country. Jimmy carter gave us ronald reagan. Obama will give a scott walker. Host ok. Thank you very much for being with us. Again, the republican message in 2016, what is it . What about the democrats . This is a headline this morning from l. A. Times, the latino vote may hold the key for 2016. [video clip] Hillary Clinton i will fight for competence and Immigration Reform and a path for citizenship for you and your families across the country. I will fight to stop partisan attacks on the executive action that would put dreamers, including those with us today at risk for deportation. And, if Congress Continues to refuse to act, as president , i would do Everything Possible under the law to go even further. There are more people, like many parents of dreamers and others with deep ties and contributions to our communities, who deserve a chance to stay. I will fight for them. Host the comments of former secretary of state and the first of two democrats in the 2016 race. Of course, Bernie Sanders is the other. We expect to hear from martin omalley, whether or not he will enter the race, the former mayor of baltimore and former governor of maryland. This is the headline from the Washington Post. Jeb bush delivered the commencement yesterday at Liberty University. This comment from robert, marriage is between a man and a woman, thats a winner. Our next caller, good morning to you. Caller hello, this is steve from chicago. The republican message will be they will use the southern strategy again, just like reagan, nixon, and bush partially. They will use the st southern strategy, that is how they got into the office, claiming blacks, never taking responsibility. They never take responsibility for their actions. They always blame blacks for everything. Look at what is happening with the police. That is part of the southern strategy. Host we will go next to peter from chevy chase, maryland. Good morning, peter. Caller i am concerned i tend to support smaller, more Efficient Government but the republicans to some extent, and the Tea Party Folks come out with the statement that they want to get rid of things. They are not specific about how they will do that, about how they will decide what to get rid of. When you get rid of things, you make yourself a lightning rod for everyone who profited for the things profited from the things. Why not instead describe processes and standards, and so on, that you will use to evaluate programs. Host ok. Thank you very much for the call from maryland. A viewers saying, you need to be more than antiobama and anticlinton to win in 2016. Joining in on the conversation on our twitter page, cspanwj. Next is roger from florida. Good morning to you. Caller good morning. Thank you for taking my call. I voted for marco rubio, but he did not do very well yesterday. Host why is that . Caller ted cruz was incredible, as well as donald trump. The pollsters in the British Election proved that they were wrong. I think it is important to not put too much weight on what the pollsters are going to say. They are not giving a true reflection of what public sentiment is. Ted cruz is definitely going to be able to have the best shot at debating Hillary Clinton, if she is the nominee. Even if she is not the nominee ted cruz is the best shot we have to articulate a vision for the future, bring the hispanic vote, and debate the next nominee. Thank you very much. Host a couple stories in the senate newspapers including a senator who sent the last week and a half in britain. The polls indicated that it would be a very close race but this headline shows that voters shattered preelection assumptions. David cameron has secured another five years as the leader of britain. Some republicans think that cameron and his victory prove that if the democrats wish for people like Elizabeth Warren and move the party to the left, the gop would have a major opening in 2016. Candace is joining us from odessa, texas. Good morning. Caller yes, my name is candace jackson. I like the Democrat Party with a little bit of an dependent help. I think the republicans just want to get richer, while the poor people get poor. Host when you set a little bit of independent help, what you mean by that . Caller i like democrats and independents having a small voice and what is going on. I think the republicans just want to get richer and richer while the other people get poorer and poorer. I like the democrats with a little independent voice. Host candace from odessa texas. We will go next to james joining us from tennessee, also on the independent line. Caller good morning. Host go ahead. Caller listening to walker yesterday, he said something about superheroes. I guess he would think that he would be one. Im sure blacks would not call him a superhero either. Host bill king has this point. The 2016 gop message is this, government out of your life, unless you are a minority, gay or a woman, and they will control your life. Politico writing about jeb bush jeb courts evangelicals and Liberty University address. The former governors, rights politico made his pitch at Liberty University in lynchburg virginia, that has become a routine Campaign Stop for republican hopefuls. Here is more from the speech that we covered yesterday. [video clip] jeb bush to confuse point of theology this confusion is part of a false narrative that casts americans as running around trying to impose their views on everyone. The storyline is getting familiar. The Progressive Agenda is ready for his next leap forward. Religious people and churches are getting in the way. Our friends on the left like to view themselves as the agents of change and reform, and we are supposed to get with the progra m. Dogmas can be hard to keep up with. We find officials in a major city demanding the pastors turned over copies of their sermons, or federal judges mistaking themselves for elected legislators and imposing restricting rights that do not exist in the constitution. Or an agency dictating to a Catholic Charity the Little Sisters of the poor what has to go in the health plan. Nevermind objections of conscious. I dont know about you, but im betting that when it comes to doing the right and good thing the Little Sisters of the poor no better than the regulators at the department of health and human services. Host by the way, we are covering a number of commencement services. You can check our schedule online at cspan. Org. The New York Times reporting on republican legislators around the country, making a harder to get abortions by passing flurry of bills. You can see the map, courtesy of the New York Times. This tweet from one of our viewers saying progressivism is on the run, their policies are failures, everyone can see this now. We are being joined by someone on the republican line caller . Good morning. A denim and i have not heard on your program this morning, who is not only a businessman, being able to negotiate internationally, nationally, and who has been in the military. Who had a high honor at one of our Major Military academies. After serving in the service, he is not mentioned. He has the ability to negotiate with different races, creeds colors, and he does very successfully. He is not a movie star. Though, people look at him somewhat that way. Im talking about donald trump. I would like to see him have an opportunity. I think he would speak for the people of the United States, and hopefully he has a chance, at least on your program, to present himself, as he did last night. Thank you. Host thank you very much. By the way, in his speech yesterday, he did say that he expects to make an announcement soon, indicating that he too will enter the presence of race. Yahoo news has Carly Fiorina front and center on their website after yesterdays event. We are being joined by a caller from fort lauderdale, florida. As we look at the republican message in 2016, what do you think it will be . Caller i mean, after following the republicans as long as i have and watching them, i dont think their message will be that much different. They want to go to war, they want to cut all programs that help the Little People here, and they want to send thousands of dollars to other countries building malls schools, and Everything Else over there, and they do not want to do anything here in reference to helping the small man. Look at baltimore. Ms. Fiorina thinks because she is the republican on the the woman on the republican side, she will attack Hillary Clinton. I dont think anyone will put her as the nominee. And marco rubio . It wont happen. They think just because they put a hispanic to run, we will all fall in line and vote for rubio. We will not vote for rubio, im sorry. Host this from our twitter page, i do not want my president preaching to me about religion. Speaking of the president in south dakota, his Approval Ratings are hovering around 70 . Whoever did not stop citizens from the states fifthlargest city to wait outside as the presence of motorcade made its way across south dakota, even in hostile territory, a president ial visit draws crowds as the president went to south dakota to deliver a commencement address. Free lemonade for the secret service misthis is significant because it marks the 50th state that the president has visited since taking office. Good morning. Caller i was listening to the people calling and saying that the republicans do not want to help the Little People and such. If you look at the democrats such as Hillary Clinton, who
