it's misguided priorities that i think will leave a black eye on the central valley. >> moderator: the next question was her with congressman denham. president obama can't seem to get us out of iraq. you support his plan to do with isis or do you have a better plan? denham: first of all he doesn't have a plan. certainly i voted for his request for funds. i believe we have to do something. we have christians in our community that have relatives, armenian and syrians in the middle east that are being attacked right now. we have got to make sure we are addressing those from that perspective but we also have americans are being murdered. we have isil that is now saying they are going to launch attacks on u.s. soil so yes we absolutely have to fight them back. i'm looking forward to a real plan. ..

>> >> i support airstrikes to

take out the isis safe haven. the solution has to come through diplomacy not just a global solution but workout to get them the engaged. we don't need another ground war. i am against that but i am for targeted air strikes using every diplomatic option that we have that we have to stop the threat. we have family that is over there is very concerned. >> this is for a candidate eggman why start your political career with a run for congress might not a city council or local elected position?

>> look at the do nothing congress and career politicians. that is now with the founders had in mind when they came up with the representative for web democracy. two infrastructure or education i'm interested in improving my community not just to have been tighter political gains for the last four years. i a understand the issues that have held our economic community back here. five. the congressman is not a bad guy but he has failed. maybe the bipartisan talk but does not walk the

bipartisan walk that over 90 percent voting record proves my point. in voting to shut down the coverage that hurts our community. that is why running for congress vinik have you considered running for any other office? >> city council or serving on the planning commission? >> i have been raised two-step up and solve problems. i see the problems that we're facing not just districts but up close and personal ground zero with boots on the ground i know how government can solve the problems and out of

frustration but congress? >> voting to preserve the shutdown. would you support such a move? sinecure misinterpreting what happened there is a vote i took the same position as senator obama its equity was in office. this president campaigned that the entire amount of debt was unpatriotic. now is 18 trillion? this is a huge issue not just with the appropriation bills it is important we continue to keep government

moving but both parties can agree social security is going bankrupt and medicare is their were that it is time to come together on a solution. i am just looking for a plan and for the leadership to come up at that time and i am hopeful the 365 most of which are bipartisan will get the jobs created. >> congressman denham for illegal immigrants to prove patriotism even at the risk of their own lives your opponents have voted down the amendment that will put the military why would you

make this the lot of the land? >> reported included into the armed services bill. i served our country 16 years. while serving in the military. this is the easy way to start the discussion to allow those who are graduating today that the military wants to recruit to address citizenship at the same time but this debate has gone on 30 years of his multi generational. democrats in new tupelo's the speaker of the house is still was not an issue this time i will be a leader of the house and continue to lead on this issue to have

boater security first with the e. verify system is to address the 11th .5 million that are here today. all with the rule of law to get them through the piece the system -- visa system. i do support the bill and have some safeguards but speaker boehner has said this is what we will address and i will continue to drive that. but the house along with the senate's to get your fully engaged with the issues. >> i comprehend - - support fully comprehensive immigration system.

with increased border security. it will reduce the deficit. so to talk about h.r. 15 from a few years ago certainly long way from when he was in the state legislature. as a leader on this to sign the discharge petition regardless of the actions taken by nancy pelosi.

but that those by members of his conference so congressman denham can make a lot of noise pages shows political extremism yet done anything to bring about real change which is the shame because someone who shows political courage we could pass immigration reform tomorrow helping people slides. >> starting with candidate eggman those republicans have taken a taxpayer protection plunge from grover norquist but yet there it paid for roads or public safety and other basics.

should oakdale voters approve measure why? >> in a bigger scope at federal level to have our house in order to have our runaway deficits that stars by making sacrifices and hard choices. the balancing on the budget on the backs of our seniors were the most vulnerable is certainly the wrong choice. we should leave by a example that is what i have the no perks pledge if congress cannot pass a budget than they should not get paid if they shut down the government they should not get paid to get rid of the ridiculous health care pensions for life as well.

that their own gyms and barbershops that regular people cannot use? we don't need that four members of congress. also a the big ticket items said gao says we waste hundreds of millions of dollars per year to agencies it is time to get serious and cut the red tape out of government. we also need to look at the defense budget we need a strong defense but we need this sparked national defense stop spending money on plays that will never fly just because a lobbyist says that we should. and speaking of waste cut the waste out of medicare and social security. get our financial house in order.

and to give tax cuts. >> this is the big picture in there will speak but is important if of women would stand that you would need matching funds to compete to move around this day. i am voting for it. as well as said dressing and these other ideas come up we have a 20% cut to our own budget. some of these things seem pretty ridiculous like the talking points from washington d.c. makes nose and saddle.

to get rid of the attention that all federal employees have? across the nation? there is no difference. soda to understand those issues coming out of the washington d.c. barbershop i don't know much about the barbershop but the special perks, one thing that i do want to address is during the time i would pay back the their recess time when government whole a home dash was operating i rode a check to the salvation army. to make sure those who served our country were not homeless anymore. that is a great place to donate.

>> i will give you an opportunity to master appointed a question and congressman denham. >> i just met him for the first time today. we are 41 days out. to do work for? [laughter] >> to represent the good folks of the district senate candidate eggman ask the congressman a question. >> you co-sponsored a bill that changed the terms can you tell me why you did that what is the difference between the rates and enforceable rate?

>> i tried to see the mail that you sent out and it is interesting how you come up with different agent issues with the digit of $6 trillion or i've voted for before i held it. i am somebody that has a daughter myself. it is important to preserve and make sure the rights of women are their across the nation. too many things are brought up that are ridiculous. i pushed it at of the house. will actually had it signed into law. >> that concludes the preplanned questions now we will ask the editorial board

>> have a bite to ask more about the infrastructure changes a.m. they said put a lot of money into that delta play as an estimate that could be the impact of us losing water from san walkie into said delta and that is a genuine concern. weld we have to do is settle the claim or can it be altered? i believe the congressmen knows. >> deal had democrats and republicans work together to guess what we need. we need to have enough push

but we also have to take the necessary water we need for the farmers downstream but the danger of all that it will harm industry drinking water and agricultural water. we need to protect that still does that provides to our economy what it needs to grow. >> i assume it will be altered with greater water storage changing the dynamics throughout the valley certainly the water bill will pass like it looks like that will change water storage as well from passing from the federal level. that increase of the delta flows it makes a conservation plan unneeded. tunnels will not be needed

if we had the water storage said is proposed as well as of a federal level. i would expect to see changes but in the short term we need immediate changes. to go in the spring to see overflowing the banks so what we could have utilize this summer. said decisions that are made. on the times that we needed to push it out. >> is there a way with the lack of police? in the way we can get that?

werke ag said greatest increase of law enforcement funding is what we fight for. i am supported because i work on those grants and solution some of the biggest solutions is immigration reform to have them come out of the shadow willing to talk about the crimes and the issues affecting the community. and background checks part of h.r. 50 as well as other immigration bills those are issues to have a safer community and those also addressed those that are committing crimes are dealing drugs. >> with the tax base basic

public safety. with the crime rate 7% higher than the national average. and then to enlist the help of federal agencies. so getting those 300 guns off the streets through a the cooperation of law enforcement agencies. >> it is the federal funding for education with that

federal formula for funding. >> i am a product of public schools and graduated from state and education is our individual receives helps in dreams if they can do that to improve their lives with the state they live in. we need to look at ways to bring a decade to 12 system into the 21st century. with a federal program to steer education with of local district for the curriculum that would work for the students not the one-size-fits-all system. but beyond the case drove my

daughter is about to enter college to look at the exploding cost of higher education. student loan debt is the second-biggest that we have in the country. so we need to do something about the interest rates that they pay right now. and that also support letting those people refinance their student loan debt. and the certificate training programs that everybody has to go to college but not only a community college but the certificate programs to teach the young folks who enter the workforce that

will grow our economy. that is one of the biggest obstacles is to find a skilled workforce. >> i think part of the frustration of state and local communities everyone comes with their own plan. as it was implemented from the child of behind i heard from the association and others about the goals of the plan the new plan without the funding. to put a criteria out there is a local issue and a state funded issue with the federal government will dictate based on a new plan

they will do that with the funding to back it up the exactly what is talked-about we have the plan to hide the student loan rates to the market so we wouldn't have these extraordinary increases to make sure they could refinance the student loan. we're working to extend that even further. >> i have a question for recently the political landscape has taken a turn for the worst free-speech is considered money. would assure position on receiving large amounts of money or out of state? what do you think about that?

>> what is your position on citizens united. >> is this to me first? >> i have seen in some expensive races redo lot of local fund-raisers. but we do get support with the perfect example. the western growers association. even those labor pacs that support my position. i believe many of the different groups should have a voice as well but we focus

the efforts on who i represent to actually go out to talk about the washington d.c. and then talk about issues like water or high-speed rail on the different positions. >> it is time for the voters to hear that. spirit that was the big eye opening experience. and certainly against citizens united. with the anti-corruption act but he likes to criticize me for taking money and other

groups from the insurance companies in the congressman denham takes money from wall street bankers or with social security benefits in then facilitated of real-estate sale. and then to indict the child molester then they returned the check there is so much money in politics thiamine known candidate in this race to improve campaign finance reform. and then without looking at the mountains of money. to improve the visions this

to rick rejecting $1 million of nancy pelosi? he rejected that? >>. >> you were so interested in ties to nancy pelosi. >> that is all i hear. >> but the money flows into your district. i was spending the money that i raised. but i will tell you to tie me to nancy pelosi i hear it in your advertisements of the time. you have run for office but

then to be busy but the economy was so bad. but then i will give you two minutes for your final statement. >> the with the second endorsement who will be be if we elect him 2014. two years later we know the answer he votes for himself and his friends in the most extreme efforts of the party their hurts our economy and kills american jobs and damages our reputation.

we need to work to stop though washington insider political theater. i a understand the economy. this is the community that i grew up in and i love. and where i played football on friday nights. but if you want to see how washington works but if you vote for me you are ready for a change. i'm tired of the do nothing congress. stepup fans of the problem is all the problems but nobody is solving. ruby humbled and honored for

your endorsement and also your vote. thank you senate figure for the opportunity once again. as someone who has fought for our country 60 years in somalia or somebody that leads by example. i give back 5% of my pay giving back while i was in the legislature are applied to lead by example. i donated my pay to locals agencies. leading by example issues to have a coalition that fights for the valley to get stuff done. of the farm bill conference committee would not only do we get when past but also

tough decision now things a looking up we have added over 150,000 new jobs with the fastest-growing economies in the nation. they will invest in education from their rainy day fund. >> i am jeff johnson as governor i am pretty thorough. >> did you do your homework? >> did you eat this? they should be held accountable for wasting our money. with the failed obamacare bureaucrats it is time for a governor who's gets it and gets us. >> in the state played by partisan interest but team of extraordinary candidates to put back to its people.

with the attorney general and secretary of state and state auditor together they are the independents. coming november 4th to a state capital near you. >> we will have more debate coverage in writing for the state's only u.s. house seat hall

>> my book is called the beast in the guarded because it is about a large animal in american times we would have called the beast is a seemingly natural place the when you get this wild animal to see the changes of the behavior. pleven steadier where they have irrigated garden as.

into rugose her downtown boulder. then they discovered that the lions were learning but there is a lot to eat in town. and then to reach three in a beautiful place for in richmond is divided into rent and coming together. people were intended to be the audience the programs were very similar with the combination of the variety of highbrow or lowbrow entertainment of classical

music and probably that we consider vaudeville of that day. [inaudible conversations]

but just to say of a word about the counsellor? limit the african center established 2009 with a mission to help transform u.s. and european policy approaches to africa emphasizing the building of strong geopolitical partners with african states to strengthen the growth and prosperity. the center seeks to engage in policy makers in the strategic importance to globally with our interest in particular for publications as well as a robust reading in the context to promote constructive leadership with international affairs based on a central role of the limited community meeting the challenges the african center supports the public and private sector in encouraging us solution for the challenges and

opportunities. it is the spirit that make people host this particular discussion. four months ago the largest event in the u.s. president has held with african heads of states of government we had the privilege to organize with them with a cabinet ministers and business leaders of civil society as we celebrate the united states and the world's most adamic and fastest-growing region now is incumbent upon us as concerned americans and friends of africa to do our part to tackle the challenges such as the ebola virus not just a threat to the economic prospects hopes and dreams but the nation affected, as was noted at the meeting to restore national security.

i suspect some panels will highlight the response including the donors' conference as the remains noted still with the significant gap between where we are dancewear we need to be. this is not i'd like the situations we found ourselves including the response to do the earthquake in haiti does have a number of issues related to the ability of national and international actors to manage a complex crisis. and those have had a -- or have had contact. it is not about epidemiology york public health so we have two books on that subject promote our speakers and to identify the lessons

we will need to learn or relearn. please join me to welcome our panel. full bearberry is are available for those present silverbacks some time for discussion i apologize for the brevity. we have said if the court in garett blood dash quarter the u.s. department of state recently served as the united states embassy in new delhi to be reunited that he points the a gun at the coordinator from the state department he began as a peace corps volunteer in sierra leone. cd is were vested in this. said deputy director for your the cdc global health center tisdale has a

people and great confidence that we will get through this terrible epidemic and i hope the rest of us can help to do so. my colleagues will talk about the u.s. response by blood to talk about what the rest of the world is doing. with the ebola epidemic is a global crisis requiring a truly global response but since march since the first cases were identified in west africa the state department has focused on the three areas. coordinating with other countries coming encouraging support from the real effort and providing insurance sandy and sent of too much africa. when that didn't work on the ground. >> if you could with this

the home and abroad why not? >> after the tsunami off of the coast this small military shows the capability to react. in the same way and acting very fast on the ground. but it was our belief that the rest of the international community were taking rules over time i did the mission for emergency response that concludes the knapp center who is working in the un that will be provided in booklets. a and to be in west africa individual special

representatives and the secretary general last week throes of a summit that obama participated with this to meet global coalition. the white house said the state department and usaid have worked tirelessly to sign countries set for the global coalition for up to 35 countries have been committed to support one way or another with fine is to adapt -- international institutions. since the bombing of the amount. >> and we counted over 50 commitments with other countries today we see more than 200 million. in terms of the financial response so will they can spend over $400 million put

dollars, the imf is increasing that it can do its assistance. add to that private sector responds from the case validation calls out for many of others we also see a lot of progress in terms of commitments to build the treatment units you can see how critical it is with the hospital's the beacon of the day dauphin and drove quickly. >> there is more than 700. each year. but what about those health care workers christ to make the french government and the french military the hospital specifically for these patients but in the

ledger vineyard it is correct but at night they contribute to a heavy cargo aircraft to build this air bridge to into west africa it is so vital. even the tiny island nation there are many other countries that out there to contribute their unique abilities to the crisis. one of the areas"ñc ñ of the greatest need right now is the international health care workers to provide patient care but also to trade african and health care workers. one thing preventing them from stepping up is to have reinsurance's if they are infected in his four

american citizens and the debut a joke to provide and with other people working on the faces but we are trying to bury quickly wrap up that capability of the un in the united states holds them together. >> i should know that the day care fe are and also by the stuttgart -- but to commit this process to build a coalition pub where we

need to be to head off the crisis. >> get your foot to of the of a new chef but then to see early on of the evacuation of our employees saying gave the confidence to recruit. you also have shown great leadership and no to really rally global support. i just want to offer a few reflections with the cdc works then i will turn to west africa about it is a bet so with the scope and

scale to be unprecedented. and. >> but to implement the its global health security agenda that obama but to compete with texas for those officials that started at 1:00 today but then to supply the answers are the questions that you have. i am not directly involved and they could not respond fully.

>> we do have to and people of the largest batch but the issue is contact tracing and infection control. more broadly cdc is working with qc the issue is working? >> but i have federal but you know, that you reported their from west africa and there have been more than 30200 deaths this does had

significant consequences and hiding is will already have this a meet current but through that global community and cdc and the others and there will be large consequences to help economically and socially. but there is the news that together we put in place a response fact can bend the curve and most importantly have a the look of the

oversight in sees specific but i have for now almost 20 years and i have not responded domestically or global litus stars or to the pre-inflict you have come to disagree news this is something. >> it has their ruined and then to florida for its debt

to be in atlanta and working in field offices around the world is provided in french. everything we do, to be clear, is it in response to where we were. a three-year not working separately from that. is critical to the country is charged. if it is essential that we support the assistant includes laboratory and diagnostics and assistance with epidemiology and surveillance that means to characterize and contract the disease to effectively end the that is culturally appropriate.

to be the trusted messengers. and it tends to me i think it could. he was trying to manage the outbreak. then perhaps most importantly we are supporting global partners working arm in arm with wa joe and of world banking and the private sector all of whom have come forward in recent months with extraordinary care event or there will be but the guy

was mad about -- at them for literally working side-by-side with the department of state in department of defense research didn't a staff that fda and nih have critical was inches. >> can i wanted to mention a few. the leadership the in country of leadership is committed to action. open to input and eager for assistance. . .
