within the bank's hierarchy, he was given another chance. on the few days that he wasn't, he would always sorted out with insurance companies instead because he was an insurance specialist. [inaudible] the oldest son was always going to be looked after by the husband. she worried about the younger children. she left through the children over younger children. she knew she had three grandsons at least and there were going to

be sons from her daughter. the amazing thing is the three grandsons each died childless in the last of them died from a train crash in 1921 in north wales. to trains collided. he was the last of her grandsons so, it is by chance that this happened but the estate fell to the children of her daughter and

of course that would've been the oldest second son. he had died by then. so it was to the sticky hands of winston churchill. it was still worth the equivalent of about $5 million today. i remember the day after this accident she wrote and said i cannot describe the feeling of relief that we will never never be worried about money again. this is what happened.

he was trading in the gambling goes up in 1923. [inaudible] he became chancellor and the inheritances gone four years later. he had to behave pretty well, but this is the halftime entertainment.

for those of you who may wonder, , the clue is in the picture. that building is somerset's house. it was the headquarters which is our equivalent of the irs. i better pay down my debt.

[inaudible] it was left with the deficit. [inaudible] he was the chancellor but he had no more to pay. so what he did was to say do you have any suggestions. the chairman. [inaudible]

he says chancellor, i understand the problem. i'll talk to the people and see what we can do. he has his own paper in his own hand. [inaudible] churchill said thank you very much and he acknowledged.

[inaudible] [inaudible] with his permission. [inaudible] he comes back with it later and says if you write me a letter like this it should be okay. churchill writes a letter. that's my halftime entertainment

now, third quarter, this is a bit busier, this quarter. more people on the field. churchill is very much in charge he did it his way. they become friends in the late stages. they learn to trust each other. they decided. [inaudible]

it acts as his host. [inaudible] [inaudible] was about a million dollars a day. when the crash hit, he was down

a million dollars. legend has it that they paid the whole of his losses. i could find no evidence but i could find that he transferred a trade to churchville worth about $800,000 in today's money. so i think churchill's losses would've been more but because he transferred, they were contained to a million dollars. thereafter, his advice to churchill in the immediate aftermath of the crash was not great. he said i am getting back involved. churchill got back involved and lost half as much again in 1930.

[inaudible] he was and important friend jack churchill, jack was a partner. in the first days of winston churchill. [inaudible] he gave discretion over the dealings. in the 1930s when he was trying to recover his debt, he didn't give him discretion. in fact.

he gave him orders. now this. [inaudible] all jack had to do was bail them out a couple of times. jack was a partner in the rest of the partners work with jack. he did repay. >> on the other side i have a man you may not recognize because i think he's been an important friend. hungarian born and would make a successful hollywood filmmaker in the 1920s. he introduced to churchill by randolph when he had come over to europe in the hollywood model

he was well-funded by the insurance company and saw the scope and paid him very handsomely in 1934 and 35 as a screenwriter. there was a couple of films that were never made, one of them was actually about the kings jubilee they had rather similarly extravagant taste.

[inaudible] despite these payments, churchill's debts in the 1930s just grew and grew. if you read my book, you will see, it's the modern-day equivalent of three or $4 million. eventually it occurred in 1938 on literally the day that hitler ordered his troops into vienna. this is where the parent the middle, and they are perhaps the most important pair of any record that i will show you today. on the top.

[inaudible] when churchill became chancellor with his own career, he put together a publishing empire that is still there today, the banker, the general practitioner , the financial news and the common imus magazine the other 50% was led by a man behind them and yet when i talk in britain they don't know who he is. he is the guy that rescued

churchill financially. he rescued him from bankruptcy in 1948 and allowed him to continue as a politician. when his finances imploded in 1938, he handed his papers to him and said something like, unless you can help me i may be finished. he knew them also because he had done wellin the bank of africa

and he was asked to chair a company for union corporation. they knew the sales figure for both countries and could see what was going into germany and britain. he was one of churchill's informants in the late 1930s. he was really standing up to what was going on in germany. he had to be kept in the game. apart from that, he was unmarried and had no family, he was a wealthy man and when he

came and said he was in trouble, he needs, in dollars, it was more than a million dollars, right now. he took out his pen and he sent a check. [inaudible] that much was known. what i found was that i was concerned at the same sort of thing happened in june 1940. within weeks he found he could not pay his bank investors at the end of june 1940 and he had a special statement of his bank account.

he wrote a second check to the tune of about $300,000. these two literally kept churchill in the game. i said i hadn't quite finished. he comes back in the war. [inaudible] he left london for hollywood which was a strange move. [inaudible] he also worked on the u.s. studio and made a series of op-ed's for churchill's own book right. during the war and immediately after it they paid churchill

today's equivalent of about seven and a half million dollars and $2.5 million for another. he started the war in serious debt and he finished it with $5 million in his current account. his london home had just gone on the market for $30 million. of course it didn't cost him $30 million. fourth quarter. final quarter. [inaudible] this is a much underrated guy because he was understated.

[inaudible] he played an important part of sorting out the mess that churchill got himself into during the war when the three sets of publishers all thought they had rights to his memoirs. they gently eased him out of that problem.

no. [inaudible] he gave them 50000 pounds and it would sell for 20000 just before the war. it was he who led the memoirs, the package here in new york so quietly in september 1946, october 1946. he negotiated detail with the new york times. we would see him again in 1953 when he spoke about some interest-free loans and they kept the press persuaded.

[inaudible] 's other partner in delivering this postwar financial emancipation of churchill was anthony moore. he started as a tax law, he came in in 1942 when churchill wanted to take on the inland revenue. he did take it to a tribunal privately. it was another very surprising story. the solicitors involved. [inaudible] so most worth reading the book

just for that memo, actually. the lovely memo, very vivid. he worked his way, and became, churchill trusted him. he was very methodical and call in his advice was good and churchill came to trust him over the whole range of his affairs. really, he didn't do anything postwar that hadn't been under anthony morris knows. in the middle of financial friend to you should be familiar with, if you don't recognize immediately, the clue is in the two magazines behind, life and fortune, it is henry lee. his name.

[inaudible] after the war, he couldn't write articles so they focused on reproductions of his pictures. then time was the main bear of the rights to the second memoir and it was henry lewis who put together consortium with the new york times to achieve that. [inaudible] he said this is beyond me but if we've got a do it we've got to do it.

he was a great delegator. reeves was very important in his prewar newspaper sales. he took his column worldwide. it was more of his political reach them financial terms. actually, he played very much second role in the negotiations sales. very much second. rather contrary to the account he gave. i'm afraid there's no doubt about it. he did.

[inaudible] he gave the money to churchill whatever you do, don't get sucked in to his financial.

he was a diplomat. he built good contacts and after a slow start. he was given good money. churchill would not have the stress of having to pay lots of american taxes. i think it's wonderful, those of you may know that he now graces the back of our five note.

i think he would be profoundly unhappy with the denomination chosen. 5 pounds is our lowest denomination banknote. 5 pounds today, i look back, 5 pounds today for you world war i was worth one shilling. what did one shilling by? thank you very much. [applause] we have five or six minutes before we have to make announcements. do you want to wait for the microphone, otherwise i have to repeat your question. >> i was wondering what

churchill's reputation was on the street and in political circles and how anybody would have put him in as chancellor given his apparent expertise of financial matters. >> what was his reputation on the street? i think of time he was chancellor, not very much was known about his finances. he didn't let on about his inheritance. he said he was able to buy from the earnings of his book. it was but with the inheritance rather than with the book earnings, but he is a successful writer. then when things changed a bit,

i think the thought of knowledge became a bit wider, he was late paying bills and he kept his knowledge about that very tight. he didn't tell his lawyers. the money went right to the stock market. the only people who knew were his brother jack. in may 1940, there were a lot of people who were almost as worried about churchill becoming prime minister as trumpet coming president. he did have a reputation for being an adventure. he was regarded as not 100% trustworthy.

there was a bit of knowledge that his affairs were a bit rickety. >> i was saying that is my understanding that they found themselves quite aggravated and concerned about their cash flow and the fact that they were going into. [inaudible] can you, on the stress that was caused on churchill. >> you're right, she hated, i read that little excerpt in the relief, she said it was like bathing in a bath of cream and she was so relieved because she hated not being able to pay that bill.

the reason she didn't like the idea was that she thought it would put a noose around their neck. i suppose in purely financial terms, it was what was needed for the upkeep and it was very, very expensive. i did find, most of the time, household accounts are not in the archives. she needed a whole lot more money to do so than the monthly allowance. there's only two years, 1935 in 1936 when the accounts merged with churchill accounts because that's when they were getting really worried about money and brought in an accountant to try to sort it out and reduce expenditure. the countenance had the overview of everything. for those two years we find all the accounts in there.

i can only say. [inaudible] i put in the book, 1935 in 1936, she had bills at harrods alone that ran 80 pages. she would go out and buy big-ticket items immediately after. it's a little more complex i think, than the traditional picture. but she sounded very stressful and she hated it.

but she still spent it. [applause] we have had a pretty spectacular day so far and we've got a very special evening ahead and none of this happens without the work of a large and very dedicated team of people swimming to take the opportunity to thank them all right now. beginning with our chairman, lawrence keller who got the ball rolling when he chose the site for this year. he rounded up a wonderful team of sponsors and the spectacular sponsors. our newly installed president, first president of the international,.

[inaudible] dan myers, our treasurer could not be here. the website registration e-mails, justin who one of his jobs is my associate editor, they will be delayed one month because they have done nothing but organizing this conference. somewhere in the middle of this year's organization. [inaudible] we can never do a conference without having somebody on the ground in the city where it's going to be done. for that we have heard to think.

her mother linda has been helping us out. finally we have to. [inaudible] they are manning our registration desk. thank you to all of them. from four until five we will have the book signing so all of the authors that are present and available should be in the chinese room. most of the people speaking today or tomorrow do have books in there. we do have books for people who are not speaking. she is a beautiful book about her grandfather's paintings. most important, how we are getting to the state department. the buses will be leaving from

[applause]

♪ ♪ >> after i came up with my idea of reproductive rights i went and researched. with recent events i heard about in our lives i never did find information on that and that would also help me figure out what points i wanted to say about it and how to form my outline for my piece. >> i don't think i took a very methodical approach to this process. you could if you wanted but i think they really with the piece as intense as this i would take him it's just a process of reworking. as us trying to come up with what my actual theme was i was a research at the same time and coming up with more ideas for what i could find. i would come up with an idea, that would be a great shot and so i would think about that at that would give me a new idea, something else to focus on. when i do research about that and the whole process is about

today at 5:50 p.m. eastern live on c-span2 president obama is at the university of central florida in orlando to encourage early voting for hillary clint clinton. >> in new york's 24th congressional district, republican congressman john katko is being challenged by democrat colleen deacon. they debated earlier this week in syracuse. this is one hour. >> hello and welcome to our time warner cable news debate between the candidates for the 24th congressional district. i'm nick reisman -- >> and i'm geoff bennett. the seed has changed hands every two years because held by john katko a former federal prosecutor. >> agency this colleen deacon a democrat who has worked for u.s. senator kirsten gillibrand and in syracuse mayors office. your other post the candidates have agreed to. each gets one minute for an opening statement and then later

a minute for a closing statement. in which we will be asking questions about local and national issues. those answers are littered -- limited to one minute. rebuttals are limited to 45 seconds. >> let's get started to the order of opening statements was chosen randomly earlier. up first this colleen deacon. >> thank you very much. i really appreciate the opportunity to be your today to share more about myself and about my campaign. for the less issues or consider kirsten gillibrand's office and six you before that i was in a mayor's office i've been rolling up my sleeves building relationships, solving problems and fighting hard for the people of this district for a long time. i grew up in syracuse. i was born and raised in the city. i graduate from college, i had a son who i did have the option of health care and had to quit my job a few days before he was born so i know how hard it is for so many families are

struggling across this district. i want to be a voice at the table with a has a bit of. i want to go to congress to protect so so scary and medicare. i want to go to congress to fight hard for the middle-class and working families all across this district. nobody's going to work harder for me. nobody is going to be stronger than me and nobody will be a better representative for the 24th district and neither am glad to have an opportunity to talk about look forward to the discussion. >> thank you and good evening thanks to watching the bidding until getting to you, calling. two years ago i left my job as a 20 a federal organized prosecutor to run for congress. many of you out there i was sick and tired of partisan gridlock that seemed to grip that institution wanted to be part of the solution and not the problem. respectfully over the last two years that's exactly what i did. over the last figures i become one of the most independent members in all of congress. over the last two years i passed more than 15 bills and had six

of them signed into law by a democratic president. that's more bills passed in any freshman in history. i worked on major issues. heroin epidemic, being the lead to go shoot and i would welcome work to national security and pulling back the comic romantic. there's much more of want to address in which a vote on a, november 8, hope i can do that. i don't forget to the discussion tonight. >> thank you. let's had to questions and the first question is for ms. deacon. like many other cities, syracuse is that black lives matter protests and marches into the peaceful demonstrations to call for police reforms. do you think changes in policing on needed, and do you think the black lives matter movement is helping those reform efforts? >> thank you for that question. i look at it like this. azimuth of a 13 year old son i can't in a witch like for so many parents who have to worry about their child going to the store or riding in a car with

friends but also as a mother i can't imagine what it's like to listen put on a uniform everyday and serve in the line of duty. it must be very, very hard as parents to have to understand that this is a real situation and we have to address it. we can't retreat to our corners and stand by our thoughts progress to come together as a society come as a committee to work together to address this issue for good. we need to have a conversation that includes everybody and it's an open dialogue. we need to do more on the federal level to provide resources so that we can help our police officers can provide them with the training that they need, give them resources to hire new people so that they can what about the communities that they are police and i think that a discussion is needed so we can address this issue moving forward. >> to follow up, should those resources include body cameras speak with absolutely. i would love to go to congress and toshiba to provide all the resources including ip cameras for our police officers

including the apple guy more officers. everything we can do to solve this problem i am all for a very supportive of. >> the last 16 years before i would of course i worked in syracuse, new york, or i helped start and a rant against her violence task force. i had a bird's-eye view of the problems that plague our city just like every arbitrary across the country. extreme poverty come off as being asked to do an impossible job. are the things police officers can do better? of course there are a we can always learn from the every henderson into another police officers have job retraining. we need to continue there. one of the big things, and i agree on this one, we need a body cameras for all offices to i supported a grant application for the program to get body cameras and will continue to support those across the country. i think body cams might solve a lot of the narrative out there and as with black lives matter company, to the extent they're raising issues about poverty and the problems with law enforcement nationwide i guess

that's okay but i want to make sure they are respecting law enforcement. dutchess black lives matter, all last minute. police officers lives over the life of this is a together we should work to make this problem better. >> follow up quickly. you're a former federal prosecutor but questions is that local prosecutors are best equipped to handle cases in which police are involved in the deaths of unarmed civilians be deeply prosecutors on a local level should be handling this case is? >> it's a case-by-case basis. if there's federal jurisdiction they should get with a local prosecutors like i did for 20 years and decide what the best place to bring the case. i work with local prosecutors on the cases i worked on and we always decipher the best, for the good of the case and the good of the jurisdiction, where the case should go. i think it depends on a case-by-case matter. >> ms. deacon to ongoing unrest in the middle east took limited

to the ongoing syrian civil war has given opportunities for terrorist organizations such as the islamic state groups to operate in green -- gain strength. what more should the obama administration be doing to defeat isis oversees? >> we have to make sure we're keeping america safe. that is our number one priority. we need to work with our allies on the ground, work with our coalition partners making sure that the tools and training they need to be able to not only contain but eliminate the threat of isis. under the obama administration have been 14,000 air strikes. we have reclaimed 45% of the land that isis has taken over and we been able to take up the number one online recruiter that isis has been just recruit people to join the terrorist organization. we have to continue to do more, work with our partners on the ground, the iraqi security forces and the courage to make sure that everything they need so we can support them to finally eliminate the threat of isis for good. >> here's a fact of the obama administration was one of the root causes of isis rise all

over the middle east. in 2000 will be pulled out of iraq and left a vacuum that allow prices to rise up, take hold of territory in iraq and see. obama has been a disaster on this issue and so is hillary clinton. i have been appointed the head of a task force to do with this issue. i did the report as a freshman congressman, 30 to find faq recommendation on what to do with isis, here at home and to western europe. of those 50 recommendations more than half have become law. on the way to becoming law. in addition to the i agree we need to increase the bombings in the middle east. we need to work with our partners. we need to get our partners to trust us again and we need to continue training their forces to do a better job than they are doing a. >> are there any circumstance in which we favor deploying significant numbers of ground

troops to serious? >> not unless the generals have told us of exactly what they need. i think we need to do is continue what we're doing. i was over there two years ago in baghdad as part of a task force and i spoke to the actual generals in iraq and i saw the plumes of smoke in the distance from isis launching mortars towards baghdad. they told me what they need is troops to train iraqi forces to do it themselves. we are never going to fix the problem in the middle east i into getting ourselves. we need to get him to fight for themselves and support them like we're doing now. the more we support them the better. i have not heard one generals that we need a full-fledged invasion of u.s. forces. this is something very personal to me because i'm a 20 year old son who is serving in the army right now, and i take that very seriously. before we have boots on the ground, we need to exhaust all other option spirit is there any scenario would support having u.s. ground troops in a drug combat role with isis?

>> boots on the grant is out the last resort. we have to make sure we're solving this problem before we to put anybody over there to the middle east to solve this problem. my father was a veteran. my two uncles were in vietnam. i saw firsthand what these endless wars duty families. we can't do this now with this current situation. i wouldn't be supportive of anything unless it was the last possible option that we had on the table. i think we should knock on the door before we take it in. that's were i stand. america can do everything we can to work with our allies can work with our generals come to the intelligence we need and continue to help solve this problem before we put anybody over there in harm's way spent question about homegrown threat. the fbi said there active isolated investigation and all 50 states and new york state of the 18 individuals have been charged with isis what offenses. congressman, how should state and federal officials address

that specific security challenge? >> i'm glad you asked the. i was at the foreign fighter task force which examined the for devices in the united states and as a freshman i was assigned ahead of the tepco and that the republicans and three democrats worked with me to ge get in a bipartisan manner to ever report provides a blueprint for what should we do locally. we should be worked with local and state counterparts along with federal joint terrorism task force of which are each region across the state and the station. there's more we can do, more we can did have a more seamless transition of the information and let's not forget this is the symbol threat of our times. during the course of this campaign i've made that issue with my but because she seems to not make it a priority for her to in the course of a campaign. if you go to your website by been there so nothing on this issue and that's something i think that american people should take into consideration when deciding who they want to work for them in congress. isis is the most existential threat we are facing this country today.

we are at the highest threat level since 9/11. just undo steve right down the road in rochester, i partitioned on new year's eve -- you need someone who makes it a priority and i work on every signal they. i'm proud of the work we've done that. >> do you care to respond to? >> absolutely. it's kind of funny john katko since i have make this a party since he selectively edited a piece of me talk of national security and isis in december of 2015. so it's something i've been talking about for a year that i've been on this campaign to get a little foolish to say i don't make this a priority in my race. i just want to add to your question, john katko dismissal because of nothing but keeping america safe. i think we should enact a know by now by legislation which congressman katko does not support. it's a bipartisan piece of legislation that means if you're on the no-fly list just not be able to purchase a gun. i think it's common sense policy and we can.

>> right now to keep americans safe here at home. i think it's so important we implement everything we can at her fingertips make sure we're doing everything we can to help terrorists not able to opportunities and not have a situation that can occur on our soil. >> just respond to that no buy, no fly speak with to even suggest i'm light on crime is preposterous. i drafted a bill about no buy, no fly six-month before the our land and civic entity with its own soft on critical as the 14 people that are violent crimson are serving mandatory sentences that i as was kid. or go ask the 160 game defenders in the city of syracuse. i bought of the most foremost leaders of violent crime prosecutions in the country. i've been decorated by both democratic and republican presidents. is preposterous to think i would be for keeping guns in the hands of terrorists spewing on that issue would you vote for a bill to another multiple versions of

the bill but would you vote for a bill that would restrict people who are on the terror watchlist for looking at fire of? >> like a just and i offered one of them. there's a minor difference between the two. it's a 72 hour waiting period but during that period the person who tries to play for the gun if you on the terror watch list they cannot get the gun. let's keep in mind, ted kennedy was on a no fly list. there's thousands upon thousands of americans are mistakenly on a no fly list. by just assures we make sure we got the right guy. i cosponsored and wrote a bill. for her to say, it simply preposterous. >> can add to that? john gotti said yourself that te are less than 1000 u.s. citizens who are on the no fly list. so you would let -- you would rather protect the rights of foreign -- 80,000 foreigners which was in deal to purchase a gun? that makes no sense. >> absolutely not. i am for the protection of law

abiding citizens. i know from in the briefings i get on a daily basis that it's a problem we are trying to fix spirit we have to move on. this is for congressman katco. ratepayers are due to see an increase in the bills. this is partially because the state has been to bolster nuclear power, while preserving hundreds of jobs at the power plant. should taxpayers be bearing responsibility for showing up nuclear power in new york? >> you need to do a cost-benefit analysis. i think just because it's not just hundreds of jobs that are being saved, there are thousands. my district, our district has the second largest number of nuclear power plants of any district in the country. if you do the math those couple thousand jobs of those power plants generate over $21 billion a year in salary alone.

that is the of the hundreds of millions in tax revenue and spend of jobs which are related to it. if the nuclear industry evaporated you would have a huge problem, huge gap that would cause exponentially rate the next day. not only does and sure those jobs are protected which i did and i thought hard for, but it also ensures with clean energy. if we want to get to clean energy, the this and find a better place than our parents did we have to understand until we do post it to a point where they are sustainable, nuclear power is part of th part of the. at 100% carbon emissions and that's what we need to think about. >> what do you say to businesses that are looking to potentially move to new york, it was a utility bill might be under the second and say it's too expensive to move your? >> that's a legitimate concern. there is a ton of waste and abuse at a time for fraud in new york state government as we know.

like the federal government before pass any bill now we always make sure we find someplace to pay for. they should do the same in new york state. you can find savings and other programs. lord knows they are loaded and bureaucracy of lord knows it's time to find cities also. putting thousands out of jobs and hard-pressed areas where you have carbon free emissions from nuclear power plants doesn't seem like a good idea. >> i don't think we should be putting taxes and burdens on the backs of middle-class families or our businesses. when i worked in the senator's office, there was a discussion about how one of our power companies was going to be charging an extra rate hike during what of the warmer months because they felt they didn't collect the money during the cold months. as a senator, i asked my senator to look into this, to investigate whether this rate hike was a legitimate rate hike and it was something that consumers should actually have to pay. that's the kind of person i want to be one a go to congress to

make sure we're doing everything we can do people use energy, the need to be up to heat their homes, had air-conditioners on are not paying exorbitant rates just so we can balance one over the other. >> do you consider nuclear power clean energy, when the falls under the rubric of being a renewable clean energy? >> we have nuclear energy in this dish at the idols or build any new nuclear energy but i do agree that until we're able to transition off of fossil fuels and into renewable energy we should be using our nuclear energy right now. the issue is that after that power plants close, then you are left with the waste material and that's something we need to address. currently i can get something we need to have on the grid to be able to provide energy for people. >> if you in congressman katko's position at the time fitzpatrick was facing the troubled that it was, which is supported an agreement that would provide a subsidy? >> yes. the bottom line is we're talking

600 high-paying jobs and talking about energy source that we couldn't afford to lose. both of those couple together, we had to work to get something done to duplicate this plant open, keep these jobs in place and i would work very, very hard that they been in congress, having been a representative for this dish it to make sure we bring every idea to the table, every solution to the table to fix it is moving forward. >> the fact of the matter was she was a representative of this dish at the she was a person with person children. during the time the issue of the solvency of the nuclear power plant came up as an issue and she did new anything about it. i went to the rows that fitzpatrick and she was noticeably absent. i rolled my sleeves, worked with the employees. i worked with the company, with the governor's office on a daily basis and i got him to come together to the table. i can then understand the issues and i played a key role in helping that plant open and keeping those jobs in a very impoverished areas of our country. i'm proud of that.

nuclear reactors is part of what new york states it achieve that it should be. we need to protect it as best we can. >> ms. deacon, did you want to respond to? >> sure. when the fitzpatrick situation happened that was my last week of work so congressman katco has his facts wrong which is a little unnerving since as represented i hope he doesn't take the lazy steps to everything that he does always accuse me of doing. second of all when i was in the senator's office for that we got to remember congressman katco reaching out to talk about this issue and work on this issue. as to what it claims to be so bipartisan i don't think he worked with me at all or try to get me to attend any of these meetings. >> we will have to move on. >> the next congress like look at role in fixing the affordable care act including president obama's account allies serious problems. just yesterday the obama administration announced double-digit price hikes for some obamacare plans. the question is obvious, what should be done to fix it?

>> i do support the affordable care act. it's wonderful we have 19 million more americans now have the option to have health insurance. as someone who didn't have health insurance i know how hard it can be to not have health insurance and went to do everything we can to include more people to get the preventative care they need. i think the affordable care act is a great start. we need to improve it. i'm happy to see that they have eliminated insurance companies from canceling insurance on those who have a preexisting condition. they have allowed students to stay on their parents insurance until they are 26 and to provide a marketplace for people to be able to buy inches. we do need to make it better, make sure it's affordable, the people get safe, quality health care that they deserve. yesterday when they talk about the hikes coming up, part of the other part of the story is that federal subsidies will also increase with those hikes so we need to make sure those two in fact rise as hikes ris to make e it is affordable for everybody.

>> she didn't have had to fix it but i would. the bottom line is it's a broken system. i agree that it's a good thing the 19 million america's health insurance and we can't go back to the time where americans don't have health insurance or have the option. let's face it can obamacare isn't working to is anything but affordable. the proposal that we were coming up with is a real one. i had a part in forcing the proposal to come to the table. i stood up against the party when they tried to have these foolish does what he would repeal the obamacare with no replacement ready to go. i gladly stood up to them because that's what independent leaders in congress do. the proposal out there now is a proposal to basically have a more market-based solution where you are not mentioned countries to compete across state lines. you do things that will make a big difference in the way that obamacare is working and make it more solvent we need to work with prescription drug rates because that's another major

driving up the economic cost. obamacare is that working and we need to fix it. >> let's move onto congressman katco. planned parenthood funding is want to get an issue in this race to we are seeing more talk about abortion in the presidential race as look at donald trump says he will appoint pro-life judges to the supreme court and he expects the issue to go back to the state. hillary clinton wants to keep roe v. wade in place and is calling for the repeal of the measure that blocks the medicaid fund for the procedure. congressman cummings devoted to defend planned parenthood despite saying you would not do so i can 2014 when you're running. ..

i think part of the problem is the supreme court process. we need to put integrity integrity first, second and third and qualifications of course. >> soaked donald trump is wrong when he suggests he should be appointing pro-life judges. >> i think having a litmus test in is wrong so they're both

wrong. having integrity is the key issue. >> if it were to be up field, row v wade, should there be some measure approved in new york that would preserve abortion-rights? >> i think it's up to the people. majority rules. >> think it's pretty obvious, when john ran in 2014 he promised he wouldn't defund planned parenthood and he has now done that four times. so some false evidence that was completely, not real, then the gentleman who recorded these videos is indicted. he can't look at the evidence presented and then wait for the

decision before they defund planned parenthood. he wants to take away healthcare rights for women. he voted four times to defund planned parenthood. i think this is a serious issue and women need to know he went back on his promise. he said having integrity is key. having integrity on this issue is key as well. >> support repealing the hyde amendment to mike i do. i think it negatively impacts low-impact -- low income women. >> i told you what my position was. i made sure the funding was for women's health and i always will cities like syracuse have maintained their aging infrastructure.

one call for government consolidation. will this make local government more affordable? >> i think if a structure is one of the biggest issues. our roads, bridges, water in sewer pipes are crumbling everywhere. not just unique to the 24th district. i want to be able to put people to work. i think it's a great opportunity to fix what we have and provide opportunities as well. i don't think it had enough detail to say what would work and what wouldn't work. until we have more information, then i can make a decision on what would be best if if that would work to fix our

infrastructure. when i go to congress, i want to fight hard to make sure i'm bringing dollars back to fix our infrastructure here not only in the city of cirque use but all parts of the 24th district. >> to follow up, how should we spend that money and how should we get that money? should be through raising taxes or debt. there's some estimate that it is trillions of dollars needed nationally. >> right now you can borrow money at historically low interest rate. if you look at it at the long-term. putting people to work, hundred thousands of people which will add dollars to the economy, it will pay for itself in the long run. that's what's wrong with john and his republican party, they don't look at investments, they don't look at it as ways to put people to work and provide opportunity, they just look at it as spending and they think spending is some bad when in fact it would be a great investment for future. >> she talks about, i don't want to get involved in spending, she

must a miss the fact that i was the lead negotiator on a highway bill in ten years. after 35 short-term short-term extensive i went to congress and i managed to get myself into a lead role as a negotiator. that highway bill increased spending by 10% over over previous highway bill spadea provides billions upon billions to fund projects throughout this great state. you've already seen some of the fruits of the highway bill and a lot more's coming. water infrastructure, i supported fund to improve that. instead of borrowing more money, be efficient with your money. that's what we did with the

highway bill in the clean water bill. >> just to follow up on that, is there some revenue that needs to be raised through bonding, powering our raising taxes. >> i think when we are $19 trillion in that it should be a last resort. were not at the last resort yet. i think we should allow the states to have more money to use for clean water. we can find some other areas to cut. until we can say there's no more fraud and wasting government i think we need to find every piece of waste we can before we borrow more money. >> to close the loop, this is probably a yes or no answer, or wait and see, do you think syracuse should support consolidation. >> i think we need more data.

i read the report but there wasn't enough information to say if this was a good decision or not it i didn't know if services would be consolidated, money would would be saved, it didn't have that information. >> i completely agree with her on that one. >> this summer congress finally passed a legislation to come back america's heroin and opioid epidemic. there are questions about whether or not lawmakers are striking the right balance between treating the home is a public health epidemic or a law enforcement issue. what is the right approach. >> first well, i'm glad you mention this but i think it's a health epidemic and i think we need to address it as a health epidemic. no community is immune from this terrible drug and we have to do everything we can to make sure we're providing the resources to help people. we should be working with law enforcement, making sure they have the training and the tools and the ability to deal people who are overdosing and happen

are cam on them and we need to do everything we can to get these drugs off the street. we need to make sure the medical community has guidelines in place so we are not overprescribing these drugs and being proactive. also, we really need to work to make sure we have the treatment facilities available for those who are addicted. we have 90 methadone clinic. forty-two counties in new york state do not have access to clinics. every county is not immune from the situation. we need to make sure we have places available for people and we need to do everything we can to provide resources so families can deal with this issue and tackle it forgot. >> would you mind, just follow up on this,. >> i want to see how it works before i would comment on it.

until we do. [inaudible] i've never seen anything like heroin. it is killing our kids at record numbers. when i got it congress i held six detailed drug town halls about this issue. we need to get educated. i was instrumental in having a key role. i did that because i looked at people who lost their son to a heroin overdose. when you talk to someone like that and you hug them and they talk about the pain they went through, i can only tell you i would walk through walls for them. it's a three-pronged approach and recovery act. it's enforcement, prevention and treatment.

you also need the enforcement piece as well. this is a good first step. you'll have more money flowing to communities, more beds for people for treatment and more money for prevention as well. we have to have a law enforcement component and that's what were working on. i'm very proud that i'm part of the solution. >> just a follow-up on that, there has been concerns raised about the availability. people who are overdosing no. has this become too much of a problem for this issue, i know it's a life-saving thing. >> it's never a problem when you're saving someone's life or reviving someone from an overdose. you're absolutely right. i've heard stories where they've issued someone are cam.

it's no means the magical elixir. it's just the last resort to revive someone before they are dead. we have to have prevention and treatment and law enforcement. >> the next question, outside groups have spent heavily on this race as well as other race around new york. a lot of it is because citizen united to supreme court decision. for a constitutional be approved that restricts or greatly diminishes the role of money in politics. >> yes, absolutely absolutely. i think based on what the supreme court has said, not just citizens united, but they believe donating two campaigns is a first amendment right. so without a constitutional amendment we won't be able to fix the problem. i've been honored by the support

i have raised. i've had support from across the board and i'm honored and humbled to have that support. i also recognize it's been a problem. there's a lot of money coming in on my behalf and my opponent's behalf. it's part of what it is today. i think my opponent would agree with me that a constitutional amendment is the way to go. >> you think giving money to a local campaign walls under free speech? >> i think in the current culture and what i've read, there's no question it's free speech. it's whether we want to have an amendment to fix that and i think we have to. >> i absolutely think we need to get money out of politics and the special interest money, the dirty money that's coming in, even in this district alone, the attack ads that are out there. this is and how you elect representative with whoever has the most money to say whatever

they want to talk about this is a been on the campaign trail. my phone it is somebody who might say we should have a constitutional amendment but he doesn't support any of the bills elated to this project. he is the seventh highest recipient of tax dollars and special interest dollars in congress. i mention the novi no-fly legislation earlier in the reason he doesn't support it is because he's received thousands of dollars from the gun lobby so he doesn't support the bill that they don't support. i don't the we should have secret money coming into any district. >> do you agree with any, or disagree with any of the things that the super pacs have been running add on your behalf that have been saying. >> everything we put out on my campaign has been his words. he said donald trump has good principles. >> that's a super pack at. >> we aren't affiliated with those ads but i can tell you, the ones i've seen, just uses

his words. he said he has good principles. he said he only cares about his race. the message getting out there is to let the voters know who he is. >> when you're weighing what she said, she stuck about campaign finance laws, keep in mind one fact, i'm, i'm an incumbent here. you would think i would have the advantage. she outweighed me last quarter. she raised more money and a lot of it is from groups. we do need a constitution amendment to get this under control. i think you know i would never endorse donald trump. i never endorsed him, i never said i was going to vote for him i have great faith.

[inaudible] >> congressman you have been on record saying you won't love for donald trump but who will you vote for. >> i picked up the paper today and the county executive said the same thing for it she doesn't know who she's going to vote for yet. i don't think were alone. a lot of americans are out there saying is this the best we have and they are frustrated just like i am. >> are you going to skip over that race entirely and not vote at all. >> i will vote for sure. >> i think it's clear that john receives a very high amount of special interest money. he likes his money coming in. frankly he has very false misleading ads about me on television right now. he selected lee edited a portion of my words to make it sound like i was saying something that

i wasn't. it was misleading the voters to have someone in congress who wants to run on his record but instead is just attacking me. >> it's a fact that she has not been able to articulate. those were her own words in an interview. it's a fact that she couldn't articulate any plan with respect to isis. it's a fact that she did say isis, i don't have a plan. those are her words. again, i will let you people out there judge whether or not those are authentic or not. >> you served for six years at the top aid. this would be your first elected office. why should voters in this district trust you in that role? >> thank you very much for that question. i have worked in this district rolling up my sleeves in her

office and before that i know how government works on all levels. i know the challenges we face in the potential that we have here. i work with are small businesses to help them cut through red tape and to get them a waiver they deserve so they could continue to produce their product here. i've worked to stop bad trade deals from happening. the steel company in auburn was facing steel company dumping from other countries that they couldn't compete. we worked to help investigate this and stop it. i work with our veterans for job opportunities. these are the things i've done here on the ground and i want to continue to fight hard for the people of this district. i understand the needs of the community. i was down at southwest community center talking about the fema flood map. these are issues i've been involved in and will continue to be involved in throughout my time in office.

as somebody who has faced the challenges in the struggle, i know what it's like for so many families. i want to be a voice of the table where there hasn't been a voice before. as somebody who just paid off my student loans, i know what it's like for so many people who are graduating from college with student loan burdens on their back and limited job opportunities. i want to go to congress and fight hard and be a true champion of this region. >> congressman, you have been among a handful of republicans that have split with leaders on rollcall votes. if democrats increase their standing, your vote will become more important than ever in the pressure will increase on you for gop leaders. why should voters in this district expect and trust that you will not break under pressure. >> i stood up to the most violent criminals this world has to offer. i've had to move my family out of the house and out of puerto rico. despite all that, i never wavered in doing what was right. i never back down. that's why it's easy for me to stand up to my party and tell

them no, this is lamb going to vote. i've done it repeatedly. that's why i'm one of the most independent voices in all of congress. keep in mind my opponent has been involved in politics premature entire adult career. i've been involved for two years. i have done more in the entire time that she was in politics at a local level. i've impacted tourism and getting medical device tax. making sure the highway bill is going to generate thousands of jobs and making sure that the trade bill does not continue to ruin us like it has. i've got a proven track record. my opponent, maybe you have some opportunities but with me you have a proven track record so why change that. >> we've just heard an indictment of your resume. >> i don't even know how he quantifies what he's saying. i've gotten a lot of accomplished in this district and i was never in congress. i was never a federal congressman from this district.

to say never gotten anything done is completely false. like i said, i worked on the ground. i've worked with fema when they had an issue with the school district of relocating the school in fema and not allowing to build a new location, i work directly with them to get the waiver they needed so they could rebuild with the funds they deserved after a flood. i forked with the city of syracuse to make sure they have the funding they needed for the lead paint issue here in the 24th district. i've been working on the ground for a long time. i worked to make sure birdseye worker who, after the birdseye factory closed that we secured taa funding so workers could be retrained for john to say i don't have a proven track record is completely false and dishonest. >> i've been advocating for

grants. we will continue to work on that. regarding fema, you've been there for ten years and nothing happened. it continued and all of a sudden magically, it's my fault. you been doing it for ten years. the fema flood mapping project is going going on for ten years and you did nothing about it. or you tried to do something about it and you failed. either way it didn't happen. >> just to follow up on that, working as a regional representative in the district office, as you know a lot of this job is constituent services honestly what she has done, not preparing you for the job of being a member of the house of representatives. >> i think i've been preparing for the job and i've gotten a lot of done. fema flood mapping issue is

wearing its ugly head in the lead paint issue, those are a few of the examples. she can't have her cake and eat it too. she can't him qualified to run because i've been the point person before, for 12 years she's been in politics. i've been in politics for two years and gotten a lot more done. it's easy to talk about what you're going to do but you have to look at her track record when she was working at the senator's office. for example, a watershed issue is a huge thing. we been meeting for two years. she's nowhere to found and also in sheet shows up a couple weeks ago saying i haven't been involved. that shows. [inaudible] >> john, did you even do a google search before you made these claims? the fema flood map is a perfect example. i brought her down here to look at some of the sites to see how this impacts our community. we work very hard. you can't point to some random

things you think you might've had input on when you didn't. you haven't been paying attention. this blue-green algae issue, i'm not in congress but i don't have the ability to do anything. i have been fighting for them for the past six years and i will continue to fight when i'm in congress. just because you haven't done anything on this issue doesn't mean that's my problem. >> 152nd. >> if you are working on the fema flood. >> for ten years and weren't able to change it, then you failed. if your working on the blue-green algae issue, you would've known that we been working on it. >> let's move on. were going to go onto transportation. the decision about the future of interstate 81 will be made by new york of whether it remains a highway or a boulevard and there will be an impact. to think one option is better than the other?

>> i'm very proud of the highway bill. [inaudible] i think my opponent, i agree with her when she said let's see what the community said. i agree with that. it's not my job to pick a thing, it's my job to make sure the process is fair and complete. that's what we been doing since we got into office.

what impact is that going to have on the folks and what impact is that going to have on the folks of route 20 from the west to the south. therefore we need to make sure we look in all of the things that may impact our area. >> are you happy with the paste of how pace of how this is been going? >> i'm not going to criticize the pace. he's the head of the department of transportation and i'm not going to criticize that. were talking about over a billion dollars. i think 60 years ago, i don't know know if it was the best idea. i'm not sure we got right 60 years ago. if we have to spend a little time to get it right, that's okay. >> throughout this entire campaign we need to make sure were not just thinking about tomorrow but preparing for the future. this is 75 or a hundred years down the road. we need to make sure that public input is considered. right now i know they're doing their due diligence in looking

at the data. they're looking at more than just the transportation project. they're looking at it as far as economic development and community development. i think they are reaching out to communities, having events and forms so people can learn about where we are in the project and i think that's what really matters is that we make sure every voice is heard. in the 50s it was a top-down approach and i think that was the wrong approach to take. >> view of one preference another. >> i will make sure we have all the data and we hear directly from the people of this community on what they think is best. when i get into congress, i will make sure i fight hard and get the money that is needed to make sure that we do have the funds in place to do whatever project is decided. >> question about the transition of power at the presidential level. >> donald trump said last week he will accept the election results if he wins. that caveat, he initially said

that he might not accept the election results at all. if reelected in november, how would you help ensure the american transition of power. >> if you're not going to honor the results in advance in particular. to say that the way we go about tabulating results is ridiculous but i have great faith in this country and the american people. if there's any wrongdoing, it will be exposed, but to say up front you're not going to accept the result is ridiculous and not warranted. i think what i'm going to do is what i've done since i've been in congress but i will be an independent voice and reach across the aisle. i want to work with both sides because that's what we should be a doing in congress. that's why have 15 bills passed more than anybody and more than

a freshman in congress. i have a democratic cosponsor, my very first cosponsor but i have. [inaudible] i work with everybody to ensure due process. i was standing at the back of the house when we had a transition of the speaker of the house pretty dramatically affected me. john spoke and he came to the back of the house and he was standing near me. paul ryan got up to give his speech acknowledging that he had been elected head of the house of representatives and when they acknowledged paneer, he just said okay, it's, it's my time to go. i saw him walk out the door in history. to watch that happen, to see them go and peaceful inspired me to know how great this country is and to protect this institution against ridiculous comments like saying the process is rigged. >> just a follow-up, what you tell supporters of mr. trump who are convinced are deeply concerned that there will be some sort of fraud, that the

election is rigged. >> i think unless there's evidence to that extent, i say show me the evidence. >> and it just proves that donald trump is on fit to be president by saying things like he won't accept the results unless he went spread he does not have a judgment or temperament and it's scary to think of this man ever having access to the nuclear code. we've seen it over the history of the united states. when i when i will make sure we are doing everything we can to have a seamless transition in my goal and focus is the 24th district. as long as the benefits of this district and is going to him packed us on a positive way than i am all for it. that's what i care about and that's what i'm going to do moving forward after this election in november.

>> we are going to get one more question and before we go. this question, new york's dairy industry is benefiting from a room in greek yogurt. over the past year dairy producers in the united states had to dump millions of gallons of milk due to an oversupply problem. congress is set to write the next farm bill for 2018. what role would you play as a member of congress to make sure new york agriculture is protected. >> i don't know voters know, but my mom grew up in a dairy farm in rule new york. my uncle was a dairy farmer and his entire life. i know how hard our farmers are working and how important the agriculture sector is for the state. :

>> i would like to get a specific little how dairy farmers will be able to sell their product at a prophet and consumers can so by that and a reasonable price? >> we have to work to gather with our dairy community and our farm bureau to make sure we are doing everything we can so they are getting an adequate price for the dairy that they are producing and making sure we are looking at the formulas they have in place. and let's see some more of our dairy industry-- when i was in the senator's office we work to help the yogurt into school lunches as a protein and starlet -- started as a pilot program and began a permit program to help provide more

opportunities for our yogurt industries and those are ways we can help. >> to answer the question trackback and to expand the markets for the dairy farmers and what we see lately is another disaster affecting the so-called free trade agreement and nafta is one of them. canada is restricting that ability for new york dairy farmers to sell their milk in canada. to made huge producers of milk and candidate is restricting their access to that market and as technology develops i have visited those places and it will allow the shelf life dairy products to increase dramatically and that means we will be able to ship the six father further away. we need to increase the markets for them, so we cannot wait for the next five-year farm bill, which is fine-- several years off. i sent a letter along with others protesting canada's

unfair trade practices and i've also supported measures to help expand the markets nation wide. >> we will have to go to closing statements and first up is congressman tout. >> adapted election, which also happens to be my birthday, one of two deeply flawed presidential candidates-- the question i have is who do you think will have more of an independent ability to stand up whoever is in the white house? i respectfully submit that not only that you think will be more of a bipartisan manner in congress. i went to commerce because i said things were broken and i became the most independent members of congress by having the guts to stand up to my party when i felt it was right and by making tough choices on boats despite-- [inaudible] >> there so much mileage to accomplish and i went to continue to work on jobs and the economy and work hard night and day to make you safe.

and want to continue with many other programs in with your vote in your help november 9-- november 8, i will be able to do that and it will be a nice birthday present for me, also. thank you very much and god bless you and god bless the united states of america. >> thank you very much for having an opportunity to share a little bit about myself and my campaign. i wanted to let the voters know that i won't-- i will work harder than anyone has ever worked. i will be stronger than anyone has ever been and i will be the best representative for this district. for the last six years i have worked in office and know the challenges we face. i know the issues, but i went to bring my voice to congress and truly represent the people of this district, not just those at the topic we need to work to keep social security solvent and work to protect medicare and provide opportunities for people of this district and these are things by a opponent does not even talk about. we need someone in congress who

what he had to say. >> so, as you know the fbi director has just informed congress that they have found new e-mails that are pertinent to the investigation into secretary clinton's server. what do you guys know about it? do these e-mails relate to while she was secretary of state? what do you know? have even asked to cooperate and will you cooperate and, you know,-- >> first, what do we know? not much more than you know or can fax them about the same. we just learned about this when we saw news reports of the letter, so at this point i would have to refer you to the fbi for more details about what e-mails they may be looking at, what they're looking for, any more details at all. we just don't know anything about the scope of this new--

i'm not even sure it's an investigation, but this effort to look at additional e-mails and we don't know if the e-mails pertaining to her time in washington state department. we just don't have any more information this time. the second question-- >> well, i mean, you say you just learned about it from the letter. >> well, i mean, whatever they are reporting. >> that is a letter to congress. as the state department gotten a letter as well claim as far as i know we have not been done-- informed, no and i spoke to several people before coming out here and this is the first notification we have. >> you will cooperate though? >> of course. as much as we are needed to cooperate as we have done in the past we will cooperate with to the fullest six that we can. >> really, so you are mystified by this whole thing? >> i wouldn't say we are mystified, but we are just unaware.

>> has the state department turned over and e-mails recently to the fbi that we don't know about the mac not that i'm aware of, no. >> i guess people are just trying to understand. >> to be honest, i don't have any additional details. we stand ready to cooperate as i said if we are asked to do so, but we just don't have any additional details or information to provide at this point. >> the court has ordered you guys to produce several more batches of the e-mails that the fbi turned over. >> correct, yeah, right. >> do you anticipate that those releases will continue as per scheduled and-- in other words, any new investigation by the fbi is not going to affect your

lease of the e-mails that they gave to you? >> i would see them-- and again, speaking as someone without full vision on the-- this new development, i don't see how they would, you know, "afflict. we plan to proceed with public eating-- sorry, publishing these e-mails in accordance with legal commitments. >> and you are not aware if those e-mails are at all-- >> not at all. >> pertinent to this? >> nope. >> if these are new clinton e-mails, then technically they would be state department assets; right next they would belong to the state department if they were clinton's e-mails or someone working for her

during her tenure as secretary of state? >> sure, go ahead. >> the question would be then will you are have you asked the fbi to hand over those documents and if you haven't, will you? >> again, i think we are just at the point where we are trying to figure out what to these e-mails pertain to, whether they are relevant to her time as secretary of state. can't make any assumptions at this point that they are, but they may be and as much as they are we will seek to work with the fbi if they ask us to. but come i just how many more details to provide this morning. >> after the fbi's announcement several members of congress weighed in with statement and opinions including house speaker paul ryan who said, this decision long overdue is the result of her reckless use of a private e-mail server and her refusal to be forthcoming with federal investigators. i renew my call for the director of national intelligence to suspend all classified briefings for secretary clinton until this

held a bouquet of flowers. she didn't want to shake hands, so she would hold a bouquet of flowers, so she didn't have to shake hands, but i shook every hand, 3000 hands in about two and half hours and this is the room we did that in and then we would often entertain people in the red room before a state dinner. the east room, well, if any one person is responsible for making that into a splendid reception room it's edith roosevelt's. she was magnificent and believe it or not, one year we entertained about 2000 people in the room and i don't know how they stood shoulder to shoulder, but the work got done and then afterward we came down and issues the one who kind of started the trend of musicals and such in that room. before then, it had not been used for much.

of course. host: ohio has gone five time to democrats and five times to republicans since 1940. where are the battle lines in this state? guest: there's a number of battle lines in the state in this year i think they are different than they were in past cycles.it i is a very closely divided state as youta just mentioned going five and five and i think this year the battlegrounds are a bit different within the battleground. you see donald trumpd spent a lot of time in eastern and southeastern ohio, which is chock filled with the working-class votersat that he has tailored his campaign to. it's one of the areas in the state that supplies one of the lowest proportion of the statewide vote, but it is one that he can flip some democratic countiesmargin , peel away some of the margins that democrats have traditionally stored there and he could dof very well statewide. host: taking a look at some of the counties where both hillary

clinton and donald trump won their primaries in, according to cleveland.com. it is showing many counties to the east endouth o south of the state, who do you think might win the edge in some of these different counties, henry? guest: i think what we will look at closely on election night are two counties right in the northeastern part of mahoney in trumbull county, the youngstown area, it's overwhelmingly democratic and it has been for years. but, it is filled with the white working-class voters, the blue-collar workers who have becomes and very frustrated with foreign trade deals and donald trump plays well there. he may not win mahoney county or trouble county , but he will cut into the democrats margins there and the question is how much and then if you go south of those counties along the ohio river
