[applause]
3:54 am
>> let me remind the audience, please hold your applause until the closing statement. high and good evening everyone. it's great to be in a westhampton i want to hi and good evening everyone. it's great to be in westhampton i want to thank the league of women voters and everyone else who is here today for doing this. i think it's an election hopefully an election of our lifetime. because i hope we never go to the drum we are going through now. i want to especially thank the students that took the time to come out tonight because this is your generation we are talking about. we are talking about the future of this country and that many, many things that are at stake. many of you know me my name is anna throne-holst i served as your account supervisor and counselor for two years before that. i made the decision to run for congress because this is by all accounts the most dysfunctional, ineffective and mired in
3:55 am
partisan politics congress in the history of congress. according to a very recent gallup poll nor more than 11% of americans feel congress is getting the job done for them. i devoted my work in this community, i raise my four kids in this community devoted my work to addressing issues and income inequality and lack of opportunity. as many of you know i started the hay ground school asserted that school because i wanted to bring this community together. along racial lines, religious lines, cultural lines and make sure early childhood education was available to every child in this community regardless of what school district you were born into. when you did the same thing head start program an opportunity to go to college and must needed social services. i led the way on managing our
3:56 am
budgets, cutting wasteful spending. cutting multi- deficits. getting a aaa rating. make sure the government serves you in the most efficient cost-effective way of protecting taxpayer dollars. we have so many issues to talk about and that are not happening in congress today. fix in daca, fixing immigration reform. college affordability, protecting social security and medicare. so many issues, i could go on and on and i look forward to your questions. i look forward to a very informative meeting, thank you. [applause] >> okay the first question will be addressed to mr. zeldin. >> who do you support for president and please explain
3:57 am
why. cooks i endorsed donald trump over over hilary clinton. i have some serious issues with hilary clinton, her record for this is not just about electing a president the next four years for this is about the future of our supreme court for may be the next 40. i care deeply about national security. i want to see our economy grow. i believe we could do a better job negotiating trade deals to help the american worker, the american company. the american economy as well. i've been a pretty vocal opponent of common core going back to my time in the new york state senate. to improve the quality education he has been outspoken with that as well. quite honestly, neither of the candidates are perfect. both of the candidates have their flaws. but, on balance between the two of them i have quite candidly hilary clinton has, with the
3:58 am
conflict of the clinton foundation. the fact that she mishandled classified information and had a server in her basement, these are crimes that were committed. unfortunately every single day we have people going to court for much less infractions. yet, hilary clinton is not being held accountable for the crimes through the judicial system and that's deeply unfortunate. i do not think it's any coincidence the attorney general had a meeting with the former president, bill clinton, a few days before the decision was made to not pursue any charges against hilary. again, on the department of justice building it said when law ends, tyranny begins. the fact hilary clinton is not being held accountable not only she not qualified to be the president at saint she cannot
3:59 am
get a job inside the file room at the fbi. her candidacy is a nonstarter. i disagree with her strongly on much of her positions on issues. i do not want to see my country be more like europe. like to see us get stronger with regards to immigration, cracking down on illegal immigration here and there he stays, provided more workers for people, more opportunities for people who are here legally. there is a process and i have a lot of compassion for the person who's not here yet because they went to the local consulate and said how do i pursue the american dream? opportunity education because they're following the rules, they are not here yet but hopefully on substance and policy we will be able to focus on many of the issues during the remainder of the debate on policy on substance because the future of our country. not just the next four years in tackling and defeating crisis in securing our country but strengthening our military. taking care of our veterans but
4:00 am
also the future of the supreme court for the next 40. >> i do not see how anyone can support a sexual predator, an individual who disparages a goldstar family. an individual who makes fun of people with disabilities. i do not know how anyone checks their moral compass who is an elected office and understand what it takes to be in elected office and thanks that it is okay to support someone who is all of what i just said. but on top of that comment that , that hasshown and debate afteo big debates now and on the stump
4:01 am
he is entirely unqualified on every single one of the issues that faces us in the night since of america today. the contrast is hilary rodham clinton. she made a mistake with their e-mail server. there is no question about that. she has taken responsibility for its prey do not know if any of you saw the editorial in the east hampton start today. my opponent has said that hilary clinton belongs in jail as has donald trump. the east hampton start put it very well today. only someone who thanks that the law of the land is equivalent to a third world banana republic and does not understand the law would make a statement like that but i will remind you that mr. zeldin is an attorney and a
4:02 am
statement like that when you have very simple ignorant rule of the law the country like ours are also neglecting to understand make inflammatory statements like that is untruthful and misleading. now we have two candidates one that's going to win the white house, that is going to make an appointment or several to the supreme court. one of them, hilary rodham clinton will make sure that appointee will get rid of citizens united. we'll get the dark money out of politics coco brothers et cetera which my opponent is a very happy recipient. the mixture a woman's right to choose is protected. we'll make sure to work that all the things that matter to us right here in district one of where trauma income opportunity we are talk about tax reform,
4:03 am
takes the burden off the middle class where tax code is written today shifts it onto the top couple of% are some earners in this country today. make sure corporate taxes are not lodged outside of this country. immigration reform, i can go on and on. i am supporting hilary rodham clinton because she's the only one qualified to run for president amongst the two front runners. >> thank you. the second question will go initially to anna throne-holst. >> this is for most of the press newsroom. siena college newsday recently completed a poll of first district voters. a small sampling 650 it provided interesting insight to the district beyond the current ratio. race. it founded most voters in the district what a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants and think climate change is a real and looming
4:04 am
threat. at the same time most want obamacare repealed. and on guns, democrat overwhelmingly in control of lotto a lesser extent independet describe themselves primarily second minutes of order. how can one came from either party represent a district? >> i think that it is important to understand that we are a country, that today is very divided. but, when i got elected to the town board in southhampton i got elected on a people, not politics platform. i got elected on i was going to be there to serve people, keep the politics out. find common sense and common ground solutions.
4:05 am
i believe to everyone of these issues there is such a thing. we have to deal the immigration issues today but we have the summerbetween 11 and 15 million undocumented workers in this country today. if we do not solve that and come up with a bipartisan solution to that. i will remind you there is a gang of a plan that was a bipartisan solution that was passed in the senate and then did not make it through congress. as a bipartisan plan to solve all of these issues. on gun safety 88 -- 90% of americans polled on that, went wantto see common sense gun safy solutions. in other words background checks, closing loopholes, which means that you can go on a computer today and arm yourself. want to make sure guns are kept out of the hands of terrorists.
4:06 am
people with a criminal record, domestic abuse et cetera. eighty -- 90% of americans have answered a poll saying they want to see that. i think there's a bipartisan solution to that that aptly protects the candidates of the second amendment all of which i agree with. the affordable care act, there are two if comments were not so mired in partisanship the latest today, it has common sense solution so that as well. a number of economists have weighed in on that prick talked about how do we do it? everyone agrees that pre-existing condition should no longer be a reason for why people cannot buy or get kicked off of the insurance plan. bipartisan agreement on codes should be able to say on their parents plan until they are 26 years old. i believe that if congress put
4:07 am
forward a plan today to make sure pharmaceuticals could be negotiated, there would be bipartisan support for that. there is a great example of the kind of medications that are now fabricated outside of these countries where the tax dollars from the sale of these medications are sitting outside of this country through medicare, medicaid and veterans affairs could not negotiate the cost of this. we need to end at the cadillac tax et cetera. there are bipartisan solutions all this about my career in government on bipartisan solutions i would do the same in congress. >> thank you. mr. zeldin. >> important aspects of the question, issues that were referenced tackling national security, the iran nuclear deal, what should we do about
4:08 am
refugees? how do we defeat isis customer how to strengthen our military? how do we take care of our veterans? performer tax code so people can build the taxes on a form that is a simple as a postcard for this audit issues we could talk about earlier mention common core. taking care of our environment. former new york city mayor aronson if you agree with me nine times out of 12, vote for me. if you agree with me 12 times out of 12, see a psychiatrist. if you are looking for an example of how you can do this job focusing on local issues and making a lot of important progress look at my last 21 months. you accomplish more in the first 21 months than your predecessor than in 12 years. the project when it came into the project was one of us et cetera million down to 1.16 billion. i built to save drink when my predecessors time and office
4:09 am
will meet loss the mission and a law was written to sell the island and move the mission to kansas. and then my predecessor introduced a bill to stop the sale but he could not get out of committee. got the bill out of committee and got it passed by the house bipartisan unanimous after work with colleagues on both side of the isle for earlier on dimensions three veterans bills that i introduced a got passed, bipartisan bills got passed with the support of republicans and democrats. my counterterrorism bill ended up getting past with the support of republicans and democrats. my bill to prevent the faa from taking negative action with aircraft restriction was done unanimously. you have very local issues as well. as you go through the plan you have local officials weighing and with specific asks. we're working with them, with the army corps at the table to make sure to work with the
4:10 am
village of southhampton beach because 13, 15 as part of the point plan they want an adjustment made and we are doing what we need to to get that done in the final product. we do have to tackle immigration. we've had a republican president democrat president and a mix every combination of the last 10 years. they have not pass this one solution for all the problems. i'm not here blaming republicans or democrats. i am saying there is so much there is agreement between republicans and democrats that we should pass. white hold hostage what everyone agrees with. if you look at might record for the last 21 months is been filled with getting progress working with local officials and people in washington on both sides of the aisle. >> thank you.
4:11 am
the third question goes initially. >> is comes from a student, what would you tell young voters the solution with bipartisan politics but what can they ask ask from you? be specific, thank you. >> that's a great question it's great you are here, get involved. there are so many people who are now eligible to vote who won't vote. by the way those eligible to vote those include those in their 40s, 60s who are not voting. what is sad is going to knock on door to door and i asked the question why are these four houses not on my list? it is because they are not registered to vote. so get active, participate don't let anyone tell you you are too young to get involved. their people sing have to wait your turn. you have to do your time and then maybe one day you will have a chance to run for office. people say how did you start running for congress when you're 27 years old? i said it's really got it you don't download a form it takes
4:12 am
about five minutes to fill out you submitted and now your candidate for united states congress but run of your local school board. run for local town office or county or state. just get involved and participate in the process but you do not necessarily a half, , there are many ways to contribute. others want to be firefighter to start a nonprofit and help victims of domestic violence. there are many ways to leave this world better than you found it. the best way to set the future of the country you are doing by being here tonight. it does not matter, truly. if you go to the voting both you were circling in the way back when we used to pull a lever and now it's different. you go and circle the box or whoever you want to produce circle forever your preferred candidate is you tell people or not. but participate if you're voting
4:13 am
for me the election is november 8 if you're voting for my opponent i'm kidding. november 8 is the election. makes you getting your friends involved as well. complaining about the results of any election if you did not vote. that is my opinion. my personal penny fun to font to complain about the results of an election you have to participate. let's great when you hear we go off to college and you get involved in the local may be local races there. maybe you decide to take a class on political science pretty major in it we cite international affairs or philosophy, foreign affairs, whatever it is that you pursue that as your interest, that is your passion. just go after 110%. >> thank you. >> there are a lot of young
4:14 am
people very interested in this election. and really paying attention. i'm a little worried about what they are seeing. i think it is perhaps bringing some attention to this. might sense among young people that are paying attention to this and seeing what's going on, on the presidential level. and seeing how that discourse has devolved into a referendum really on whether we elect a sexual predator. whether we elect someone that chooses to make fun of people of different race or religion. i think young people are looking at that. a look at my own for kids that are in their 20s and they are out there talking to everyone about this. not because her mom is running for congress.
4:15 am
there used to be running for office. there used to me being an office. their generation worried about is the college going to be affordable for them? to refine a certain college loans. are there kids going to have access to early childhood education? are they going to be able to age in place and stay here on long island? is there going to be housing and jobs and transportation system that works for us right here on rhode island in the next generation? these are big issues at hand. this is also generation that has seen their parents lose their jobs. they have seen their parents and then lose their homes with the mortgage meltdown that happened just in this last decade. they are seeing people lose their farms and not being able
4:16 am
to afford their bills right here on long island. this is a generation i am seeing that is very wrapped up to speak, to vote, to be part of this. i think bernie sanders movement showed that front and center. i see that amongst my own kids and i see that amongst other kids that i talked to out there. understanding what is at stake hereto in terms of the supreme court. an understanding that a woman's right to choose and your access to women's healthcare is at stake. the environment is at stake. this is a generation learning in school even though my opponent does not believe in the science behind climate change and that it is caused by human action and
4:17 am
we have a moral responsibility and economic responsibility deal with it. kids are coming out and it thatd come out. >> next question. let's say the student questions. how do you feel about the black lives matter movement? >> i'm sorry you can call me anna. [laughter] look, movement start for a reason. we have very rich and complicated history of movements in this country. they start for a reason and they start because a group of people feel the need to express themselves ability to organize themselves. my foster child is part of 100 which is black youth project
4:18 am
100. as young activists mostly african-american but minority latino kids who concern themselves with their opportunities going into their adulthood. and concern themselves with feelings. with feeling like they have. and when we see what has devolved unfortunately we divide between the understanding of what black lives matter is about a voice. and wanting to come to a table and have a conversation about how do we all feel safe? that is getting guns out of the hands of people who should not have guns. 30,000 or more people die at the hands of guns in the united
4:19 am
states of america today. we do not have common sense gun safety laws. my opponent has voted 28 times on procedural motion that would allow common sense gun safety taking guns out of the hands of people on the terrorist watch list from coming forward for a vote. he dances around the subject but that is in fact what he has done. and we are talk about protecting the men and women in blue, one of my biggest honors in my time on the town board eight years as i served as police commissioner of the southhampton police department. we went through some tough times. most of you here will remember that. but we worked very, very closely together and we worked on community policing. we worked on sensitivity
4:20 am
training. we worked on making sure this was a police force it strive for diversity and strive for community policing and a partnership in community. that is a conversation that we need to have on a national level today. and we need to come together. and that is what i would like to be a voice for. it's bringing everyone together for this very important conversation. >> thank you, mr. zeldin same question. >> look, when any one unjustly and violently targeted and innocent, that is an important cause for anyone to take up to make sure that does not happen again. what i don't believe is acceptable is when that motivation ends up resulting in
4:21 am
innocent, courageous law enforcement different parts of our country to be murdered. when there is someone who is unjustly murdered and there should be accountability. someone should get into a lot of trouble if they broke the law. what is simply not the answer is when it crosses that line where you are looting the area you are supposed to love and targeting innocent business owners. when you are taking a man or a woman who is wearing blue somewhere in this country and they leave their family to keep their not only family safe but strangers as well. and their family never sees them again. what's important is for everyone to come together understanding that violence is certainly not the answer to solve this in
4:22 am
consideration of fact that all lives in this country matter. just claimed i voted down 28 times against a bill from peter king to prevent terrorists from purchasing firearms which is and have been in the seepage few weeks. a couple days ago it was 27. what you will see in her tv ads it says 25 times you do not have to take my word for if you look at the tv ad yourself a list 25 different bills. you can go home and type them and for yourself h rez 8091 example the competence of addiction recovery act. number one priority for everyone who wants to combat the heron opioid abuse epidemic but i cosponsor not passing it signed into law the republicans, democrats calling congress and president working to get it done a .3 billy knows help combat the heroine opioid abuse epidemic in this country. who would have thought that
4:23 am
honestly there would be a tv ad aired against me at the end of the campaign were this in 24 other bills would be displayed attacking me saying i voted against the bill to prevent terrorists and being able to purchase firearms peeking voted the same exact way i did on all 25 bills. these 25 bills you can look it up yourself, is nothing at all to do with guns. nothing at no part of the process, not right now none of not thebeginning of the processt was in the jurisdiction that was his pass and the rules committee or on the house floor or conference or back to the house committee. i think it's important that as we sit here in front of you that we have the ability to say not just what pulls well because they want to win an election but we want to be honest with you and that is a flat out lie. >> excuse me are you using the red card? yes you may but you have to show me. okay. >> red card.
4:24 am
i'm sorry? no one you know, we have had several debates now and i think it's time we separate some real fact from fiction. the fact of the matter is the way it works on the floor of the house of representatives on a bill is introduced by a member of congress on anything the majority can either vote for or against it. but, as part of that procedure a member of congress can say i would like to bring on a motion i believe there's something more pressing and i would like to bring forward a procedural vote to bring forward in this case no-fly no-buy legislation. that has now happened 25 times a
4:25 am
forward cut my commercial, three times since, 28 times i have the dates right here and circles. mr. zeldin has had the opportunity 28 times to vote to bring forward peter king's bill on whether to prevent terrorist watch list individuals from also buying guns. he voted no every single time. this is fact. i have it right here and yes if you google those bills, those were different bills but the motion was brought forward when they were voted down to preempt them by a vote whether to bring forward mr. king's bill on no flight no buy. the question is simple if you had it before you today would you vote yes or no for? do you support peter king's bill
4:26 am
on no-fly note bite? >> mr. zeldin there was one thing in there that was very honest. she said those were different bills. when you look at the tv ad it list 25 bills and that is absolutely true all 25 of those bills have absolutely nothing to do with guns. i am not holding up, i can hold up a book. i am telling you go on the internet yourself. you can look at yourself. you can look at the tv ad it was 25 different bills. you will see the 25 bills have absolutely nothing at all to do with guns. that was the one little nugget of my opponent answer those absolutely accurate. and if it was king's bill why was it every single time pete king voted the exact same way that i did.
4:27 am
why? when you fight really hard against the heroin epidemic that's right here in suffolk county it's a worse county and the entire state as far as being targeted with abuse. it is a personal issue i been a lot of wakes myself were where families are being torn apart because of it. so i took this because on. i had multiple press conferences. i formed a coalition with the republicans and democrats in the house in the senate to figure out how to get this bill done. just think that bill number because i voted for it, is now one of 25 bills and up absolutely nothing to do with guns is going to be used in attack ads to try to get you to vote for my opponent, or why whyquestion makoto exactly whatt polls really, really really well. you can convince voters that your opponent once terrorist to be able to purchase firearms.
4:28 am
i am doing my part, my entire life to make sure there is nospace threat to american security here, at home or abroad i continue to do my part but it's outrageous when i fight to make sure there are no more quakes to visit they would use an attack at against me that is outrageous. >> no plus was no applause please. i would remind the candidate that question from a student asked for their opinion of black lives matter. both of you were discussing matters that are of interest and are important in the selection. but we are asking our audience what is important to them and what they want to hear. i would ask you to try to stay within the parameters of the question picnics and going to defend myself now pickwick shift is in the red card.
4:29 am
wasn't worth it okay >> how many red cards are entitled to? >> you have a total of three, you have each used one. the next question is to mr. zeldin. >> is consummately as well as from the audience. the people would like to know regarding obamacare, if you feel it needs some fixing, which i think a lot of people do. specifically what would you change?
4:30 am
those are two components conservatives, republicans and democrats agree upon so whether you obamacare as is or reveal or replace it, they are to components. those of the versions we see. we need for choice. in your state we had this one which went under, 200,000 new yorkers in cancer treatment in the middle we were told they no longer recovered. the needs to be more options and more plans, the ability to purchase plans from outside of state willing to honor the plans and create more pretax incentives and childcare to wreak embers expenses buying and
4:31 am
recover expenses. as a result they may end up with an expensive long-term element that would cost more and that lack of affordability and we have medium-sized business is an ability to get it to get more competitive plan for their employees. they tell their employees they are getting less and have to pay more. i care too much about higher mediums that policies, it's not working. the math on its own 2017 so we
4:32 am

5:39 am
used to renew a fisa order? or is bruce or it was in direct communication with christopher steele directly. so there is no doubt that connection, that conflict was real and one that resulted in information passed through to the justice department to the fisa court as an intermediary. what seems crazy is you have the former attorney general meeting with the former president, the husband of the target of an investigation and then immediately exonerating hilary clinton. what seems crazy to me is bruce or whose wife worked at fusion gps is serving as an intermediate with customer still seems crazy to me james comey would be writing an exoneration before interviewing secretary clinton and all of her closest aides who are yet to be interviewed.
5:40 am
what seems crazy to me is that you go to a fisa court and be presenting this dossier. and not be timely fisa judges the information is unverified. that it was paid for by hilary clinton. on the democratic national committee and providing all the information that support for the fisa judgments not only show the best but the worst evidence was. as far as what's crazy about all of this is a fact every single thing and that resolution is accurate. that is crazy. all the concerns about not being able to provide information for national security concerns and then you provide the information you see there's nothing that risk national security put parthappens time and time again. the facts are empty and up reading the documents the real reason will they are saying national security was that it would cause embarrassment to people who did the wrong thing. next question? >> you made it clear because
