12:04 pm
california. i believe that when we talk about this issue in the context of what it means to be a democrat or republican, frankly, most issues that california's care about are not bipartisan, they are nonpartisan. i have traveled up and down the state as attorney general general of the state. i have never met anyone who is concerned about the things they are concerned about when they wake up at 3:00 the morning in the context of whether they are registered with the democratic or the republican party. when they wake up, there can read about whether their children are getting the education that they want and deserve. when students wake up, they are concerned about whether they will be able to pay off their loans. people wake up at 3:00 in the morning wondering if they will have a roof over their head. they wonder if they are getting a return on their investment. aboutake up wondering climate change in the future of their family. they want a leader that knows

how to get angst on. mark: i next question from adrian alpert. about the i>> this is by police officers. would you support a federal policy or guideline on the release of such videos. att. gen. harris: as you know, i have been a big proponent of making sure we have transparency in long force. i run the cal california department of justice my department of justice, we lawess an extreme amount of enforcement data. i decided to bust open the data in the california department of justice understanding there was a crisis of confidence between law enforcement and the communities we protect.
12:06 pm
there is a need for truth. i was proud and am proud to create the first in the nation procedural training, understanding that we have to take seriously what is happening in terms of disparity in the criminal justice system, the reality of racial profiling and the need to improve the work you are doing. i am in favor of adopting technology in a way where we are more transparent, including the use of body cameras. mark: mrs. sanchez. rep. sanchez: i want to begin by saying, we all know that there is a problem out there, the trust factor has gone down. looking fories are leadership on this. of course, when we discuss body cam's, my opponent was absence. -- absent.

12:10 pm
missed over 70% of the homeland security meetings in the united states congress. now, your question from a sanchez. talk about the need for competence of immigration reform. what changes to the current system would you currently support? att. gen. harris: competence of -- comprehensive immigration reform is the moral paradigms of our time. the hispanic caucus, which has me on the and put task force for reform. first started working on this one ronald reagan signed a -- she started filling
12:11 pm
.ut that paperwork we would be filling out the forms of people lined around our block because we were helping people come out of the shadows. people who were our friends, her students. what would i do? on, we have done enough border control. now, we need to give immediate status to those members who are part of our community. they are little league coaches. if some status and put them on a pass, if they so choose, to be a citizen. mark: your time has expired. one minute, miss harris. att. gen. harris: california has
12:12 pm
in thisde stake conversation. we have the largest number of immigrants than any state in this country. it is time that congress act. congress has failed to act. congress must act in a way that creates a pathway to citizenship that also includes our dreamers, that includes thinking about our farm workers. it is about thinking about what we need to do, in terms of having a pathway for our unaccompanied minors, work that i have done throughout my career as attorney general, recognizing these children must be provided a safe place, and we must provide a place in this country. i'm very proud to be supported huerta, she and i years.rked together for this work must be done and
12:13 pm
congress has failed to act. i'm proud to also have the support of -- your time has expired. ms. sanchez, 32nd. rep. sanchez: the other cochair of the hispanic task force is luis gutierrez, and he has endorsed me. he knows that i was the one who fought for you. we put together a six page menu of things that could happen once we lost opportunity to push through a reform. we went to the president and said, this needs to be done. that is how these projects came out. mark: your time has expired. your question for mrs. harris. proposition 64 on the
12:14 pm
california ballot legalizes marijuana despite the fact that the federal drug administration classifies all marijuana as a schedule one drug. as a senator, how would you propose to resolve this contradiction between state and federal marijuana laws? att. gen. harris: the reality is i believe the voters will pass that initiative. on the federal level, what we have to do is move it from schedule want to schedule too. we have incarcerated a large number of predominantly african-american and latino men in this country for possession the least one of dangerous of all the drugs in the schedule. we need to change it on the schedule and and mass incarceration of young people for the use of marijuana. i will also use that to talk about the work that i have done for a long time the smart on
12:15 pm
crime. onneed to stop the focus action when the crime occurs instead of reaction. for the most part, when we see that young people and up in the criminal justice system it is because they are high school job bouts. that is why i have done work to kids and making sure they have resources. the war on drugs has been a failure in this country. it should be treated as a public health issue and we should give kids the resources they need. rep. sanchez: again, some people talk about doing things, we ask a do things in my district. i have been on the forefront of ensuring that medical marijuana, once it passes, would actually have some regulation to it.
12:16 pm
i have been a fighter in the congress to get marijuana off of schedule one. i'd been a fighter because, you know what, if you have a dispensary, it is all a cash business because banks are afraid to take your money because we still have a conflict between the federal and the state level law. i have told president obama, stop it already, let california get this right. in the city of santa ana, we eliminated 119 is legal dispensaries, shut them down, put in 19 legal ones, we collected $1.8 million worth of taxes, we hired 30 new law enforcement officers, and by the way, we unionized the dispensaries.
12:17 pm
att. gen. harris: i believe we need to look at the congresswoman's record on the issue. she voted on mandatory sentences for juveniles. mark: adrian out of it your question from a sanchez. what do you support to protect citizens from acts of international terrorism in the united states? or ifrrent law sufficient not what new ones are needed? rep. sanchez: when we look at, from an intelligence perspective, when we look at our , we look at the short term in front of us and what we see in the long term. the short-term one, i believe, is the lone wolf issue. that are being piped
12:18 pm
in. what should we do? one, we have to a limit isis. decapitateing to leadership, find its finances, and shut it down. there are a lot of issues that we need to work on. .ental health we still have not been able to really get it out there. guns and thisk at country and we have to put it so we sense gun control
12:19 pm
the use ofown available gun. we need a muslim american communities and help us to get some of this coming in from isis. mark: you have one minute. att. gen. harris: we have to be smart and tough as a country. we have to do it in a way that recognizes the emerging threats in the united states. those include cyber security, controlneed to do to cartels. then, there is the issue of climate change which is a real threat to national security. on the issue isis, there is no question, we have to go to where isis exists, which means going to syria, libya, iraq. it also means addressing it on the domestic level. that means not playing into the hands of isis propaganda and the recruitment tools.
12:20 pm
which, in particular, the helped,woman has calling 20% of muslims inclined terrorism.cts of mark: ma'am -- your time has expired. 30 seconds, ms. sanchez, if you choose. rep. sanchez: first of all, that is completely false. over 20 years of doing all types of interviews, radio, tv, debating in the congress, i have learned that your words can be used in three ways. one, sometimes you say something that you wish you could take back. sometimes you say something that in wish you would have said a different way. sometimes you say something that usedopponent purposely against i you and misconstrued .
12:21 pm
that is what mrs. harris has been doing. >> when you drive through the central valley, you will see signs blaming leaders for water problems in farming areas. what you have to say about water policy in the central valley? att. gen. harris: water is one of the biggest issues challenging our state. i was just speaking with farmers,>> when you drive throue having an extensive conversation throughout the day. what we know is this. we, as california, can be the leader on this issue of water globe. nation and our that means taking it to a national scale, what we need to andround storage water
12:22 pm
desalination. we are doing that work here and we need to do it as a nation. this is a matter of public health. we require water to drink. of federalan issue money. let's bring money back to of fel money. our state. thatwill build up infrastructure. third, this is a matter of national security. right now, wars are being fought over oil. in a short amount of time, they will be fought over water. we understand that we must have more re reliable and sustainable sources of water in our state. you know, when my opponent was asked, what is your water plan for california? she said one word, conservation.
12:23 pm
period. when they asked her, what about -- would you be for? she said, i don't know what you are talking about. let me tell you about my water plan. water is the economy in california, especially in the central valley and here in southern california. we have taken the brunt of what is happening. how about water recycling? the largest water recycling plant in the world sits in my district. new projects, of course, we have ,o store water when it comes underground and above. desalinization, which we have done in carlsbad. mark: your time is up.
12:24 pm
ms. harris, 30 seconds if you choose. att. gen. harris: i think there is no question that california can be a leader on this. we have to accept a false choice, either be in favor of a fish or a farmer. he can do both. andeed more reliable sustainable sources of water. the orange county is doing great this issue. mark: it is time now for the from a viewer, mary bedford. you will you check one minute to respond. >> my son was first 19 when he committed his first and only crime.
12:25 pm
the justice system has failed him in a number of ways. no one seems to want to correct the problem. proposition 57 is on the ballot. havingthe california prison sys broken. how do you feel about proposition 57 and what are your thoughts of fixing the overcrowded prison problem jack mark: due to a technical problem, our candidates could not hear it. they could not answer. i will paraphrase it. this is from mary bedford who has a son, 41 yearsproposition r thoughts of fixing the overcrowded prison problem jack
12:26 pm
mark: due to a technical problem, our candidates could not hear it. they could not answer. i will paraphrase it. this is from mary bedford who has a son, 41 years old now. he was 19 when he committed his first and crime. senate bill 261, passed only in january 2016 and now prop 57 is on the ballot. the system is broken. it is called rehabilitation, but that is not happening. what are your thoughts on fixing the overcrowded prison system? att. gen. harris: i'm in favor of doing whatever we need to do as a general policy around the criminal justice system and understanding we cannot have a one-size-fits-all policy. we need to make a distinction between violent and low level offensive. as it relates to low-level offenses and nonviolent crime, we need another approach. i created a model initiative for the country, a reentry initiative focused on low-level offenders focused on getting them jobs and counseling. we turned their lives around and
12:27 pm
reduce the likelihood that they offend. i wrote a book back in 2008 called, "smart on crime." on can buy it for $2.99 amazon. your time has expired. rep. sanchez: i am against proposition 57. my opponent wrote the summary of it that we are reading as voters. she said it was about nonviolent felons getting out of jail. that is not true. she talked a good story on gun control, but did you know, if you give guns to gangs, you can get out of jail for free if this proposition passes. if you do a drive-by shooting, you can get out of jail for free
12:28 pm
if this proposition 57 passes. if you discharge guns on a schoolyard comic you can get out of jail free. she has failed to lead on supposedly that area that is her expertise. worse, she has failed to protect as attorney general. as a senator, she would failed to lead and failed to protect us. mark: with that, we are at the halfway point. no rebuttal for this question. att. gen. harris: darn. [laughter] [applause] mark: please. may revisitback, we this. if you would like to address in response to another question you can -- this is a fun debate -- we will take a short break and be back for the lightning round. all right, we are back. when i will tell the candidates
12:29 pm
is we will allow you to basically finish a thought. stick to time as well as we can. if you are a little over, ainishing of thought -- thought, cool. if you are bringing in something else, i will stop you. rep. sanchez: tried. mark: i will. agent albert, your question from the sanchez. seat,seek the senate congresswoman, why would you give up a 20 year career in the house of property vendors -- representatives? madam attorney general, why would you give up your seat? rep. sanchez: when barbara boxer announced she was retiring, it was my colleagues in the house of representatives that came to me and said, you have the experience, we rely on you, you have been to iraq and
12:30 pm
afghanistan. you know where the horn of ask the cut is -- horn of africa is a you know your stuff. we need you in the senate. you are prepared and ready to go. mark: 30 seconds has expired. att. gen. harris: i believe that california and needs and wants and deserves bold leadership. one indication of the ability to be bold is the track record of getting things done. i have a track record of fighting for homeowners, students, immigrants. to show up. my opponent does not show up. the reality is you can have a your passport,n but you have to show up. mark: your question from this harris. >> would you seek to maintain or reverse the hyde amendment that prevents low income women from
12:31 pm
using health insurance for abortions? att. gen. harris: i am absolutely in support of choice and a woman's right to make her own choice about her reproductive health. i'm opposed to anything that would limit her in terms of resources and access to resources to achieve that purpose. the bottom line is this. i have been a fighter for a long time on this matter. we have to support a woman's right to make her own decision over her health and health care. a society that denies a woman that ability also denies access to economic wealth and well-being. rep. sanchez: i have a wonder 100% voting record on abortion rights in congress. i will always push and work to ensure that women are treated equally and they have choice in
12:32 pm
their lives. orderunfortunate that in to, california, my opponent actually limited choice for our women. look at the website of women in leadership and you will see that she says one thing but does another. mark: your question from a sanchez. elected to the u.s. senate, on which committees would you like to serve and why? have acted oni the armed services committee and the homeland security committee. i would like to sit on the armed services committee in the senate. of the money that congress has actually limited choice for our moved, in the tide that i have been there, a large percentage of it has gone through the military committee. at the economy of
12:33 pm
the united states, we need to have someone sit on that committee. that, and the finance committee. att. gen. harris: i have not thought about what committee i will sit on, i want to first get elected. i will to you the reason i am running includes fighting for the immigrants of our state and think comprehensive immigration reform, continuing to reform the criminal justice system, fighting for our students who are facing an incredible burden in terms of student loan debt. and proud to have the support of elizabeth warren. mark: now, a question from a state allayed. here she is. you wil each havel one minute to respond. conducted a survey among
12:34 pm
students. there were major concerns around lacking trust for politicians, too much money within politics, and the feeling that their vote does not matter. given these concerns, what can you say to students in order to encourage them to go out there and vote? att. gen. harris: i think the key is this. who areall people cynical and feel that they do not matter, the people who are running for office need to see them, hear them, and listen. that is the work i have done throughout this campaign, listening to students. i know because i have listened putur students, when you one dollar in cal state university, you will get a return of $23. invest inense to students. i know when i talk to students
12:35 pm
that the average help grant is $5,200 but the average tuition is about $20,000-$30,000 per year. from our students and icu, i hear you, and you deserve to have representatives that prioritize your issues. talk is cheap. let me tell you what we are doing where i live in my district. we have senate and the community college. what we have done their is this inr, the entering freshmen free.ea, tuition is we have actually done it. i carry another bill that i believe will be passed as soon thate election is over
12:36 pm
allows the pell grant to be spent in the summer. students don't always just go in the fall and spring. that does not cost any extra money. i'm working with harud to refinance student loans. we can do what your parents do when they refinance their loans down to 3%. and the community college has a four-year program now. mark: your time has expired. thank you for the question. we are now back to the standard form questions. your question from the sanchez. mrs. sanchez. >> for-profit universities have controversy.of rep. sanchez: i believe that any
12:37 pm
,or-profit nonprofit private public, any school that is cheating students or doing fraud should stop existing. many of the californians need for profit and vocational schools. think about mechanics. he may have a dream to become an i.t. expert. he cannot stop to go to a four tor university, he goes night school, and the commuter helege does not offer what wants. he takes a four-year certificate to be there. he can live his dream.
12:38 pm
who go after them with a brush at all these schools do not understand the diversity of education that we need. gonenow, my opponent has after the entire industry and she is so wrong because so many people use good schools to get their certificates at degrees and change their lives. mark: you have one minute. att. gen. harris: on this point, opponent.ee with my appointme i did initiate an investigation into for-profit colleges. i found that college is like corinthians, which i soon, because they were engaged in the practices,ory targeting young people who just
12:39 pm
wanted an education. sued them. my opponent took hundreds of thousands of dollars from the for-profit industry and $5,000 from corinthians. i have put a plan in place called freedom to learn. i will fight for the right for students to have free community college. if your household income is $40,000 or less, you get free college and university. it is just the right thing to do. toviding our students education is the pathway to a dream. mark: your time has expired. rep. sanchez: we are already providing free education and tuition at the community college. my opponent is disingenuous. afterample, yes, she went
12:40 pm
some colleges after others work work already did the hard for her. more importantly, trump .niversity she was taking his money in her campaign to flight around in first class airfare and first-class hotels and taking trumps money. ino, her socialite friends san francisco. mark: your time has expired. your question from his harris. >> "washington journal" in the last- >> couple of days, the united states has into cooperation with russia after the bombing of aleppo. nuclearuspended a nucleu weapons treaty with the west. former cooperation
12:41 pm
gone bad or is russia now an adversary of the united states? att. gen. harris: i believe theia poses a serious to united states. we know they have incredible nuclear capacity. we also have good reason to believe that they have used ciber weaponry to hack the statesn of the united and, i believe we have to take them quite seriously. it troubles me when people five newhey respect put in more than president obama. we are seeing and feeling the
12:42 pm
effects of it. i will say that russia poses a serious threat of concern in terms of what it had to doing with ukraine. clearly, russia is exerting aggression and we have to take .t very seriously i believe that so far we are doing an adequate job, but we had to stay on our toes. rep. sanchez: i believe that russia is one of the most dangerous threats we have. i'm the voting member on the nato parliament. i work with my european allies. i have seen what has happened in ukraine. i was called recently by some generals in ukraine who asked me to go over and see the front lines. they say, the little green men are there. i went, on my own dime, by the
12:43 pm
way to take a look. the national guard is there helping. we were there and able to new surveillance new surveillance system for the border between ukraine and russia. i have met assad on the day that we had the news we were putting ofctions on congress for all his human rights violations. i have been to refugee camps. i have spoken to refugees. mark: your time has expired. 30 seconds, if you like. you can travel and have a lot of steps in your passport, but when you have been appointed to be the chair of the anti-terrorism task force and you do not show up once, that should call into question your commitment to
12:44 pm
protecting our national security interests. let's be clear, the voters have a choice here. it is about who shows up and who gets things done. the emerging threats that are challenging our national security include work i have done as attorney general and even before. mark: your question for mrs. sanchez. now a majorurity is issue. how would you strike the balance between diversey rights of americans and the need to protect individuals, transactions, and corporations online. rep. sanchez: the time when we are most scared is the time when we must protect our liberties. when the patriot act was voted on after 9/11, i said no. we had showed us what given up. i said that apple had the right on thaton to its lock
12:45 pm
device. people know where i am on civil liberties. i want to go back to this failure to lead. my opponent has somehow insinuated that i have done then -- i have not been to work. everyality is i work hard single day, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and people in my district know that. i have passed bills, inserted bills into legislation, i have worked across the aisle on issues that are incredibly important. women in combat. sexual assault in the military. getting rid of don't ask, don't tell. when my opponent has that going around for two years, campaigning in california, what she has done is through her own
12:46 pm
report, in her smart on crime report, she says that her report card is the crime report. up 9%.hat, gun homicide, mark: your time has expired. rep. sanchez: when she travels, we get -- att. gen. harris: so much there, let's try to unpack it. on cyber security, i'm proud of the work we have done in my office on prevention. that means that we urge people to encrypt data. we have been a leader on that issue. i have done the work and we have done the work thing we have to focus not only on prevention but resilience. after we had been attacked, let's focus on airports, hospitals, let's be vigilant in understanding that if they are attacked, we must have
12:47 pm
leadership in place, be resilient, and jump back. billponent has passed one in 20 years and congress and was to rename a post office. let's talk about what needs to happen in terms of leadership. the fear mongering on the crime peace will not get it. yardaper in your yesterday says that crime rates have plummeted. rep. sanchez: your report, the one that you said was a report card in your book, 9% increase and a murders, homicide, 15% increase on assaults with guns. and, did i tell you, a 30% increase in sexual assault? you said that was your report card p guess what, that is a
12:48 pm
report card you do not want to show to your dad. the: we will begin with lightning round. a question for mrs. harris. >> would you support a constitutional amendment imposing term limits on members of congress? if so, what would be the appropriate length of that term. att. gen. harris: i think the voters must make a decision. there is no question that>> we must have accountability. if they have not done at the job, elect than out. i think we have a very good process in that regard. the bottom line is he will be voted out if they do not have a record getting things
12:49 pm
done. that is what this election is about. voters of california want to make sure you have a track record of getting things done and that you show up. rep. sanchez: it is obvious to me that m my opponent does not understand the conflict at all. in 17able to put different pieces of legislation do in thel that we military committee for the entire year. bill on its own necessarily in congress, you pass it by putting it into bills. mark: your time has expired. >> president obama had the first be to override of his presidency on a law allowing families of the victims of the september 11 sue saudi arabia. how do you think you would have voted, and why? i'm sorry, you are looking at her.
12:50 pm
it is for me? sorry. bill is being worked on as we speak. many of us have been on the phone, calling and talking about how we change this bill so it protects our uniformed people in other countries. i believe after the election we will pass it. my husband is a retired army and my youngest- son is in the army. i want to make sure they are protected when they go overseas. att. gen. harris: as a general matter, i support the right that all people who have a grievance should have my youngest son is in the army. i want to make sure they accesse and the courtroom. again, this may present a clear contrast between me and my opponent. she voted in favor of the gun which would
12:51 pm
essentially deny victims of gun violence access to justice and access to a courtroom. i think that is unconscionable. wiped a california law off the books. mark: we are at the point of closing statements are you will get one minute and 30 seconds. rep. sanchez: thank you for arranging this debate. i would like my opponent to want to debate more. i believe the more we listen, the more information that voters have. don't listen to the establishment. the first election ahead, the democratic party did not endorse me, but we beat the opponent. i went door to door. a few years later, i received a letter from a truck driver in garden grove. he said, i came home on that
12:52 pm
