Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal Discusses His New Book, 'Leadership and Crisis'

Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-La.) joined us on today's podcast to discuss his new book, "Leadership and Crisis."

Jindal and I talked about his notion that conservatives should view public service as a noble calling. Jindal was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, and later presided over Louisiana's health care system at the age of 24, and I wanted to get his take on why this career path is more common for liberals than for conservatives.

During our interview, Jindal also talked about his journey from Hinduism to Christianity, and about his belief that America's culture is "the foundation for our greatness."

We also discussed how, during the Hurricane Katrina disaster, Jindal asked President Bush to appoint Colin Powell or Jack Welch to lead the relief effort.

The book is also personal, and often humorous. For example, Jindal shared with us the story of how he delivered his third child himself on the bathroom floor.
