i don't want anybody willing to work in this country not to have a good job with a rising income to support themselves and their families. [cheers and applause] hillary clinton: if you believe that, you've got to come out and vote. [applause] hillary clinton: particularly for all of the students here, affordable college education is at stake. [applause] hillary clinton: not only that, relief from student that that you already have is at stake. if you believe as we do that everyone should be able to afford to go to college and graduate and that everyone should have a chance to pay down and pay off your debt, you have

to get out and vote in this election. [applause] in hillary clinton: you her know, dignity for women and girls -- [applause] hillary clinton: again, i wish i did not have to say this. right? [applause] hillary clinton: but indeed, dignity and respect for women and girls is also on the ballot in this election. [applause] hillary clinton: and i want to thank our first lady for her eloquent, powerful defense of that basic value. [applause]

hillary clinton: i think you are getting the idea here that everything we care about is at stake in this election. you've got to vote and get your friends and your families and your neighbors to vote, too. don't just take it from me. i think you've heard some really compelling voices say the same things. one of them is with us today. [applause] hillary clinton: there are so many things i admire about our first lady. [applause] him and hillary clinton: -- hillary clinton: michelle reminds us to work hard. stay true to our values. be good to one another. and never, ever stop fighting for what we believe in. [applause]

hillary clinton: she has been eight years as our first lady, advocating for girls around the world to go to school and have the same opportunities. [applause] hillary clinton: she has worked for healthier childhood for our kids here at home. better nutrition, more exercise and we are seeing the results. we are seeing kids who are healthier. something she was determined to try to achieve. she has encouraged more young people to go to college and follow your dreams. and she has supported america's military families who serve and sacrifice as well for our country. [applause] hillary clinton: it hasn't been

all hard work. she played a mean round of carpool karaoke. [laughter] [applause] hillary clinton: among the many real privileges i've had is to see the president and the first lady dance. [applause] hillary clinton: one could only hope. [laughter] clinton: she also planted an amazing vegetable garden at the white house. [applause] hillary clinton: and i can promise you, if i win, i will take good care of it, michelle. [applause]

hillary clinton: and boy, didn't she dazzle the world with that wise and beautiful speech at the democratic national convention this summer? [applause] hillary clinton: i have now stood on the debate stage for 4.5 hours with donald trump. [booing] hillary clinton: if you see any of those debates, that has proved once and for all, i have the stamina to be president. [applause] hillary clinton: there were times during those three debates when the loop running in my head was what michelle said to us at the convention, when they go low, we go high. [applause] hillary clinton: on top of all

of this, just by being herself every day, never missing an opportunity to honor her parents for the hard work and sacrifice that set her on her way commission has shown every little girl and boy in america that there are no limits to what they can achieve if they work hard and do right and believe in themselves. [applause] hillary clinton: seriously, is there anyone more inspiring than michelle obama? [applause] hillary clinton: maybe it's especially meaningful to me because i do know something about being first lady of the united states. i will state the obvious -- it's not easy. you've got so many people counting on you. you've got the eyes of the world

on you. when you are trying to raise you are trying to raise your children as she is and as i did and get them the space and support they need to have a normal and safe and fulfilling childhood, that makes it even harder. i used to hang out in the main hall of the second floor of the white house around the time chelsea would come home from school just to make sure i would see her and see what happened that day and try to figure out what i needed to be thinking about and doing for her. let's be real -- as our first african-american first lady, she has faced pressures i never did. [applause] hillary clinton: and she's handled them with pure grace. [applause]

hillary clinton: by any standard, she has been an outstanding first lady who's made us all so proud. [applause] hillary clinton: and she and the president have been such wonderful friends to me and my family. it's meant the world to me. i want to say just one more thing about first lady's work -- i mentioned the military families. she hasbeen there -- been their fierce champion. military families have come up against a lot in this election. it made me boil when donald trump disrespected and gold star

-- a gold star family, mr. and mrs. khan. he still has not apologized to them. he actually made it worse. just yesterday, he said again that if america had only made him president years ago, their son would still be alive. honestly, i don't understand how anyone would want to rub salt in the wounds of a grieving family. and he keeps insulting our military. yesterday when he heard that a retired army colonel and former dean of the army war college said that donald doesn't understand military strategy, trump said i will teach him a couple of things. actually, donald, you're the one who has got a lot to learn about the military and everything else that makes america great. [applause] hillary clinton: starting by learning about the dignity and sacrifice of our men and women

in uniform and their families and he should learn from michelle obama how a leader supports them, not disrespects them. [applause] hillary clinton: so, no one knows more about what is at stake in this election than our first lady. all the progress we've achieved under president obama's leadership is at stake. he pulled our economy out of the biggest ditch it was in when he became president -- [applause] hillary clinton: she saved the auto industry, he cracked down on wall street, he has tackled health care, education, climate change, civil rights and so much else. all the work we've done to strengthen our relationships with other countries and secure our leadership in the world is also at stake. i hope all of you do not want

that hard work by our president and first lady and millions of americans to be wiped away. we cannot let that happen. we have to do everything in our power to get everyone out to vote to understand whatever it is you care about truly is on the ballot. this has been a hard election at times. it has gotten pretty ugly, has n't it? we've all felt it, especially as -- especially kids. kids write me notes, they hand me little cards and notes. parents write me, their teachers talk to me. kids are scared by the rhetoric they are hearing. i see the educators' heads nodding. little girls have heard the ugly thing said about women in this campaign and they feel terrible

and doubt themselves. that's why it's important for voices like our first ladies to stand up and say respecting women and girls is important. it's especially important to send that message to our children. our kids are scared they will be sent out of the country because their parents are immigrants or they are immigrants. they are scared if they are muslim or if they have a disability. i got a letter from a parent, a mom in wisconsin who adopted her son felix from ethiopia when he was a toddler. he just turned 11 years old. he wrote my campaign to let me know that he was now 11 years old. i love it when little kids do birthday remembrances. america is the only country he's ever known. one day, he turned to his mom and asked, if donald trump becomes president, is he going to make me go back to ethiopia? that breaks my heart.

we have to make sure all of our kids know that america has a place for you. the american dream is big enough for you. [applause] hillary clinton: and then, we've got to make sure they learn the right lessons about how to treat people. i saw that sign, i believe in love and kindness. right? [cheering] hillary clinton: here's one place to start. we know that bullying is a real problem in our classrooms, our playgrounds and online. teachers have reported that this election has made it worse. i want you to know, we are going to launch a major new effort to help states and communities and schools and families end bullying wherever it takes place. [applause]

hillary clinton: and we will work together to make the internet a safer kids. -- a safer space for kids. invest in guidance counselors and social workers and psychologists to support kids who have been targeted. like a young woman i met in iowa who said she was bullied because of her asthma. this has got to stop. i cannot think of anything more important than making sure every single one of our children knows they are loved just as they are. [applause] hillary clinton: so, ultimately, as michelle reminds us, this election is about our kids. in my case, my grandkids. their lives and their future. nothing is more important to me than that. i've been fighting for kids throughout my career. i will fight for them every single day of my presidency. we have a job to do.

let's come together, let's work together and let's be hopeful and optimistic. and unified in the face of division and hate. bring people together in the spirit of mutual respect to solve shared challenges. let's have each other's backs and lift each other up, not tear each other down. let's go out and win this election to make sure we do exactly that. roy cooper, deborah ross and all of us, let's make sure you vote early. vote as soon as you can. vote this afternoon. i'm excited about what were -- what we are going to see happen here in north carolina and i am so excited to be introducing our amazing first lady, michelle obama! [applause]

mrs. obama: well hey there. you guys are pretty fired up, right? i like that. [applause] mrs. obama: wow. let me start, of course, because hillary's many tributes to me has thrown me a bit. it's very generous. i just want to take this moment publicly to thank hillary.

it takes a level of generosity of spirit to do what hillary has done in her career and her life for our families, for this nation. [applause] mrs. obama: people wonder, yes, hillary clinton is my friend. she has been a friend to me and barack and bill and chelsea have been embracing and supportive from the very day my husband took the oath of office. [applause] mrs. obama: i am grateful for hillary. for her leadership and her courage and for what she is going to do for this country. it's going to be good. but i also want to take some time to recognize your former senator who is here.

good to see you. [applause] mrs. obama: i want to lend my voice to your outstanding senate candidate, deborah ross. [applause] mrs. obama: she is someone who cares deeply about the people in this state. she is always going to put your family first. let's make deborah your next u.s. senator. [applause] mrs. obama: and let's make roy cooper your next governor. [applause] mrs. obama: thanks also to all the members of congress for joining us and your mayor -- thank you, mayor. more important, thank you to all of you for taking the time, waiting in line to be here today to help us support the next president and vice president of the united states, hillary clinton and tim kaine! [applause]

mrs. obama: i'm fired up. we are going to make this happen . you may have noticed that i've been doing some campaigning for hillary. i know that there is some folks out there who commented that it's been unprecedented for a sitting first lady to be so actively engaged in the presidential campaign. that may be true. but what's also true is that this is truly an unprecedented election. that's why i'm out here. [applause] mrs. obama: i'm out here first and foremost because we have never had a more qualified and prepared candidate for president in our friend hillary clinton. never before in our lifetime.

i admire and respect hillary. she's been a lawyer, law professor, first lady of arkansas, first lady of the united states, u.s. senator, secretary of state. [applause] [crowd chanting "hillary"] mrs. obama: that's right. hillary doesn't play. [laughter] mrs. obama: she has more experience and exposure to the presidency than any candidate in our lifetime. yes, more than barack, more than bill. she is absolutely ready to be commander in chief on day one. and yes, she happens to be a woman. [applause]

mrs. obama: this election is also unprecedented because i don't think we've ever had two candidates with such dramatically different visions of who we are and how we move forward as a nation. one candidate has a vision that is grounded in hopelessness and despair. a vision of a country that is weak and divided. where our communities are in chaos. our fellow citizens a threat. this candidate calls on us to turn against each other to build walls. to be afraid. and then there is hillary's

vision. [applause] mrs. obama: that you just heard. a vision of a nation that is powerful and vibrant and strong. big enough to have a place for all of us. a nation where we each have something very special to contribute. and where we are always stronger together. [applause] mrs. obama: that is the choice we face. between those who divide this country into us versus them and those who tell us to embrace our better angels and choose hope over fear. as we look into the eyes of our children, as we send them off to school each morning and talk -- and tuck them into bed at

night, as hillary said, the stakes in this election could not be more clear. this is not about republicans versus democrats. none of that matters this time around. it is not about republicans are democrats. this election is about something much bigger. it is about who will shape our children and the country we leave for them, not just for the next few years, but for the rest of their lives. mrs. obama: as hillary pointed out, we all know the influence our president has on our children. how they turn on the tv, and they see the most powerful role models in the world. someone who shows them how to treat others. how to deal with disappointment. whether to tell the truth. they are taking it all in. as hillary said, when you have

raised children in the white house like barack and hillary and i have, you are reminded every day of the impact you have. you start seeing the images of every child in this country in the face of your child. when people wonder how hillary keeps her composure through the overwhelming pressure of not just this campaign, but of her career, or how barack and i have dealt with the glare of the national spotlight these last eight years, that's the answer. with every action we take, with every word we utter, we think about the millions of children who are watching us. who hang on to our every word. looking to us to show them who they can and should be. and that is why every day, we try to be the kind of people, the kind of leaders that your children deserve, whether you agree with our politics or not. [applause]

mrs. obama: and when i think about this election, let me tell you, that is what i'm thinking about. i'm asking myself, what do my girls, what do all of our children deserve in their president? what kind of a president do we want for them? to start with, i think we want someone who is a unifying force in this country. someone who sees our differences not as a threat, but as a blessing. [applause] mrs. obama: as hillary said, we want a president who values and honors women. who teaches our daughters and our sons that women are full and equal human beings, worthy and deserving of love and respect. [applause]

mrs. obama: we want a president who understands this nation was built by folks who came from all corners of the globe, folks who worked their fingers to the bone to create the country and give their kids a better life. we want a president who sees the goodness and all of our -- who sees the goodness in all of our communities, not just the brokenness, someone who understands that communities like the one where i was raised are filled with good, hard-working folks. folks who takes the extra shift, who work the extra job because they want something more for their kids. finally, we want a president who takes this job seriously. [cheers and applause] mrs. obama: and has the temperament and maturity to do

it well. someone who is steady. someone who we can trust with the nuclear codes. [applause] mrs. obama: because we want to go to sleep at night knowing that our kids and our country are safe. i am here today because i believe with all of my heart, and i would not be here lighting -- i would not be here lying to you, i believe with all my heart that hillary clinton will be that president. [applause] mrs. obama: over the years, i have come to know hillary. i know her. not just her extraordinary professional accomplishments, but i know her personal values and beliefs. i know hillary was raised like barack and i in a working family. hillary's mother was an orphan, abandoned by her parents.

her father was a small business owner who stayed up at night, poring over the books, working hard to keep the family afloat. believe this. hillary knows what it means to struggle for what you have and to want something better for your kids. that is why, since the day she launched her campaign, hillary has been laying out concrete, detailed policies that will actually make a difference for kids and families in this country. she says she plans to make college tuition free, to help young people drowning in debt. [applause] mrs. obama: she is going to handle making sure that our climate is protected. [applause] mrs. obama: and let me tell you this about hillary. she is involved and engaged in

every policy issue that she has developed. go on her website. she is going to raise the minimum wage. she's going to cut taxes for working folks. she's going to do her best to help women get equal pay for equal work. [cheers and applause] mrs. obama: if you want to know more, just go on her website, hillaryclinton.com. here's the thing about hillary. thankfully, hillary is a policy wonk. let me tell you, when you are president, that is a good thing, because policies matter. they really matter. they determine whether our kids have good schools, whether they

can see a doctor when they are sick, whether they are safe when they walk out the door on the way to school. policies matter. that is why hillary has fought so hard for children's health insurance as first lady, for affordable childcare in the senate. that is why a secretary of state, she has gone toe to toe with world leaders to keep kids safe, and that is why day after day, debate after debate, she has shown us such strength, such grace, refusing to be knocked down, refusing to be pushed around or counted out. hillary does all of this, because she is thinking of children like her mother. children like her daughter and her grandkids. children who deserve every chance to fulfill their

god-given potential. that is why hillary is in this. she is in this race for us. she's in this for our families, for our kids, for our shared future. let me tell you, that is why i am inspired by hillary. that is why i respect hillary, because she has lived a life grounded in service and sacrifice that has brought her to this day, that has more than prepared her to take on the hardest job on the planet. she has run an extraordinary campaign. she has built an impressive grassroots organization. she has raised the money, she has won all the debates. [cheers and applause] mrs. obama: so hillary has done

her job. now, we need to do our job, and get her elected president of the united states. [applause] mrs. obama: because here is where i want to get real. is hillary doesn't win this -- if hillary doesn't win this election, that will be on us. it will be because we did not stand with her. it will be because we did not vote for her. and that is exactly what her opponent is hoping will happen. that is the strategy. to make this election so dirty and ugly, that we don't want any part of it. when you hear folks talking about a global conspiracy, and saying that the election is rigged, understand that they are trying to get you to stay home. they are trying to convince you that your vote doesn't matter, that the outcome has already been determined, and you shouldn't even bother making your voice heard. they are trying to take away your vote. -- take away your hope.

that is what drives folks like hillary's mother, who said to herself, i may not have grown up in a loving family, but i will build a loving family of my own. i will give my children what i never had. i will pour my heart into raising a strong, smart, loving daughter. that is what drives people like my father, who kept getting up and putting in those long hours. who said, i may not have gone to college, but i'm going to keep working, because maybe my son, maybe my daughter will. in this country, anything is possible. [applause] mrs. obama: as we walk away from

this election, remember, that is what makes us who we are. remember that. take it from a girl from the southside of chicago, whose great-great-grandfather was a slave, can go to one of the greatest college is on earth. the son of a single mother who can make it to the white house. [applause] a country where the daughter of an orphan can break that highest and hardest glass ceiling, and become president of the united states. [applause] mrs. obama: that is who we are. that is what is possible here in america, but only when we come together. only when we work for it, and fight for it. that's why for the next 12 days, we need to do everything possible to help hillary clinton

and tim kaine win this election. are you with me? are you with me? >> yes! mrs. obama: are you going to do this? we are going to vote! we are going to vote early. we will stand in line. we are going to make our voices heard. no one will take away our hope. let's get this done. thank you all. god bless.

not the least of which is a 33 point gender gap. she is carrying women by 25. he is carrying men by eight. there is this huge, wide gender gap. she is getting more republicans than he is getting democrats. the republican party is less unified in new hampshire, around trump, than we are seeing in other states. it is working clinton's way in the granite state. >> new hampshire was key to donald trump winning the primary -- winning the republican primary this year. -- his inability to expand his base. it. think that is a part of new hampshire of course has, as you know, a very independent strain to it in terms of the voters. right now, alert clinton is not only getting more democrats than he is getting republicans but also, she has a seven-point advantage among unaffiliated independent voters.

the lead she has right now, seven points, is a good lead for her. some national polls are better than that, some are worse. when push comes to shove, we are talking electoral votes. that is one of the states she needs to put together to ensure he does not get to 270. she may get it without new hampshire. it serves as a blocking against trump. there is a major difference also in terms of favorability ratings. we hear both clinton and trump are unpopular. when you look at new hampshire numbers, clinton has a 42% favorability and only 45% negative.

donald trump only has only 29% of likely voters saying they view him positively. 68% view him negatively. this is rough terrain for donald trump. >> new hampshire is home to one of the most closely watched senate races. hassan challenging kelly ayotte. your polling showing it is to close to call. >> it has been getting a lot of attention and it will continue up until election day. it is a one point difference. it makes it a tossup. kelly ayotte is running 12 points ahead of what donald trump is getting. she has been able to separate from the trump numbers to what she needs. as a result, she is competitive. 48 for her is better than 36 he is getting. it is a very close race. control of the u.s. senate may go through new hampshire. if it does, how this race and's >> another battleground state you have been pulling again --

nevada. your polling indicates it is tied up. >> this is fascinating. , 43%. our last ball had it at a one point difference. what we're saying in new hampshire, just the opposite in nevada. lead is a seven-point among independents in new hampshire. , trump has a 6% lead. the gender gap of 26 points is very large. this is a state that has a lot of things going on in it in terms of demographic changes, in terms of voters. trump does better in states that have more nontraditional voters. andto get to demographic

start carving people into little categories, but this is a state where many of the white voters are not college-educated, and therefore it is a group that he is running up a lead of 19 points. doingll sets what she is among latino voters. westernjohnson, a governor from the mexico how is he resonating in nevada? >> he is getting 10%. he is a big factor in all this. must say this but the so-called minor party candidates. pollsters do it two ways. sometimes they offer the names, sometimes they don't. if you offer the names, as we did that particular case, the candidates tend to get more than they will when you just don't and 70 has to volunteer the choice. ceiling, but in a 40% that is 43% to 42 -- to

could tip things. >> nevada an open seat. both parties eyeing nevada to try to pick up harry reid seat for the republicans, and keep it for the democrats. , as we're talking in new hampshire, is also running out of donald trump. he is six percent ahead of donald trump, and seven points ahead of his opponent. clark county is where a lot of the votes in nevada come from, and that is a very democratic area. if this is a close state for president, as it is right now, they're going to be looking at the vote from clark county. his congressional seat is in clark county. that is areaan, where he is siphoning off the potential votes that may have got to the democrat. this is a very interesting

dynamic. it is close enough it could go either way. senatorntage is that harry reid's seatmate and going to a republican. when that that the ironic -- wouldn't that be ironic? the latest marist poll along with abc news and the wall street journal. thank you for your time. >> my pleasure. hampshireate between senate candidates. they answer questions about health insurance, the presidential campaign, national security come and the environment. this is the fifth of six planned debates before the november election. tonight, the u.s. senate general debate in new hampshire. republican incumbent senator kelly ayotte and her calendar, and governor maggie hassan.

it is one of the most high profile, expensive, and negative senate races in the country. >> my opponent has supported efforts and she has stood right corporate interests to undermine social security and balance the budget on the backs of our seniors. >> unfortunately, it has been a negative campaign from governor hassan and her allies, all kinds of negative also tax against me. >> national security. >> the policy she has been supporting under this administration and continues to support have made us less safe. >> she has but her party before her state and her country when it comes to national security. that is a distinction that i will continue to draw this race. >> these two candidates do not see eye to eye. our debate begins right now. ♪ host: good evening, it is debate night and we want to welcome the candidates to our studios and

thank them for taking part in the issues. we want to welcome our viewers watching and to the viewers around the country tune in and on c-span. host: the candidates will each be given a question and will have one minute to respond. you the viewers will hear an audio cue and there will be 30 second rebuttals allow. at the end of the debate, the candidates will be given one minute closing state. governor hassan will be going first, followed by senator kelly ayotte. we are partnering with the debate coalition. a group dedicated to making sure debate that represent the people. tonight's debate will be to the top questions posed and rated by more than 120,000 voters in new hampshire and around the nation. paul: we have a lot of crucial issues. we will start with health care and in the news for those that are receiving health care from

the exchanges, their premiums will rise sharply next year. here in new hampshire, it will be a modest 2% rise. a tv commercial on the air by kelly ayotte says maybe hassan cannot stand up to her party. she support the health care law that even bill clinton calls crazy. governor, we want to give you a chance to respond to that ad. gov. hassan: thank you for moderating. and senator, thank you for participating. and to everyone watching, thank you for tuning in and engaging in this debate. my husband and i have two terrific kids and our oldest has severe physical disabilities. -- we have had as many as nine doctors and as many prescriptions. we know the strengths and flaws of the health care system. it is important that we improve the affordable care act, but we

should not go back to a time when people who had a pre-existing condition could not purchase insurance. we have our bipartisan expansion program in new hampshire, which provides coverage because of the affordable care act. there are improvements we have to make, but i will fight any attempt to take insurance away from voters, something my opponent has said she will do. sen. ayotte: thank you for having us. and for all of the viewers. good to be here with you. this issue is one where we have agreement on two things. first, we need to address pre-existing conditions. and those receiving coverage now, we do not want to pull out the rug from under them. that is why i voted for medicaid expansion for two years so we can work on a solution to give more ability to states to craft their own solution.

make no mistake, higher deductibles and premiums, and people were told they could keep their plans if they like it, but costs have gone up. we need more competition and more transparency. i have supported expanding flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts and more competition and transparency. this is a big difference between us, because she is going to be following hillary clinton's lead on this and she wants to expand the affordable care act when there are so many issues with it. gov. hassan: people should be clear that my opponent has voted to repeal medicaid expansion. she is using washington speak to tell you, because she is willing to give you one more year and then pull the rug out, somehow that is a good thing. we came together and a bipartisan group of us build an -- built a medicaid expansion program that has added competition on the exchange.

there is more to do to fix the issues and problems and lower the cost, but we should not dop -- we shouldn't do it by taking away health care from people. paul: we will stick with health care. keke: name three things you could propose to lower the price of health care premiums. senator, we start with you. sen. ayotte: eliminate some of the mandates from washington. you have to give people the ability to have flexibility with different plans. they should have been able to keep their plan if they liked it. we should expand health savings accounts and transparency in the pricing of our health care system. you should be able to purchase insurance across state lines. there is so much more to do. a one-size-fits-all from washington is not going to solve it for people in new hampshire that have higher co-pays and premiums. this is an issue for this family

struggling. let me go back to something that the governor said with regards to medicaid expansion. i voted to expand it, because i want new hampshire based solutions and new ways to craft ways to better serve people who need help. not just washington telling us how to do it. keke: governor? gov. hassan: we put together the bipartisan solution medicaid expansion, which she has voted to repeal five times. look, there are a number of things we need to do to lower the health care costs, among them, reward quality over quantity and get these drugs to market more quickly. this is something senator ayotte has not been willing to do. we could also allow the importation of drugs from canada, something she has voted against. it is reflective of her pattern with special interests, and major donors to her campaign. sen. ayotte: i have supported

allowing generic drugs to go to market sooner. and we need to address changes with the fda. i support the fair drug pricing act that will require companies that are going to increase prices to notify us in advance so we can take action. and the governor's favorite talking point is that somehow i am supporting special interests. she is actually raising money for lobbyists and issues -- lobbyists as she is criticizing me. gov. hassan: if i could, first of all, the senator has failed to stand up to the big pharmacies over and over again. and she continues to talk about the things people in new hampshire are so frustrated with in washington that is broken, because of people like my opponent, that stand with special interests, instead of people in the small businesses of new hampshire. sen. ayotte: think about this, if you are wondering who will make changes to the affordable

care act to have more transparency, the governor stands with hillary clinton. this system needs to be changed. she also stands with her on the flawed iran agreement that is dangerous for the country. and she has proposed tax increases that will hurt families in new hampshire. keke: john would like to know, what will you do about the skyrocketing price of prescription drugs? governor, we will start with you. gov. hassan: thank you for the question. as you know, my family and i deal with insurance companies, changing prescriptions my son can have, because of the prices skyrocketing. among the things we could do is allow medicare to negotiate for prescription drug prices, the volume of that would bring the price down. it is something that the senator has failed to stand up for. she has stood with pharma

repeatedly and this is something we could do to lower the cost of prescription drugs, along with allowing them to be imported from canada, which she voted against. this is an election about whether you will have a senator who stands up for the people of new hampshire, as i have. we have been working together to make progress. we have a 2.9% unemployment rate and cnbc has listed this is the most is this friendly state in the country. more people are working today than at any other time in our state history. that is that is what we can do if we reach across party lines and stand against special-interest. keke: senator? sen. ayotte: i would support medicare and negotiating. but we need to solve the problem here. this is why i would support the fair drug price act and getting more competition and more generics to market.

the governor talks about special interests, it is her favorite talking point. look at your television. she was recruited by powerbrokers in washington, harry reid and chuck schumer, who want control and that is why you see them spending $50 million. michael bloomberg, the former mayor of new york city spending on her behalf. i am standing up for you. that is what i will always do, because i think about the people because i think about the people struggling and that is the work we need to do. i have one of the most bipartisan records in the senate and i look for common ground to deliver results. keke: governor? gov. hassan: the senator voted with the koch brothers 90% of the time, siding with them for big tax breaks. and she has voted against taxes -- taxing companies that are

moving jobs overseas to china. she has stood with wall street, which has given about $2.5 million to her campaign and has supported tax breaks for their ceos. all all continuing to talk about the things that people who are new hampshire partly about. we should be working for families, not special interests. keke: thank you both. sen. ayotte: i would like to respond. this is her favorite talking point and it is not true. there are no ads on the air from the koch brothers, they have been critical of me because i stood up for new hampshire and climate change. the governor in her time as governor, the largest state contracts in state history, $1.6 billion from one of her largest contributors, where she took about a quarter million dollars to her campaign and the democratic governors association. this is the kind of conduct people worry about.

paul: your response? gov. hassan: she knows what she just said is political attack. let's be clear, the contract was entered into the state before i became governor and she knows that. and the koch brothers, the family has given personally to her, even after she did the kind of feint to pretend that she has a strong environmental record. paul: voters got a mailer this week from the republican party and it said, the country needs people like kelly ayotte in the senate. they have mailers that say that a future president trump needs her in the senate. senator, two questions. did your campaign have a hand in the mailer? also, you recently said that he

-- that you would not vote for donald trump after the audio recordings we all know about. but you said you would write in the name, mike pence? isn't it that still supporting the ticket? sen. ayotte: there are a lot of mailers. i do not know where that one comes from, not my campaign. i will tell you, i have stood up to my party, unlike the governor. and i will put the priorities of new hampshire first. i did that before donald trump was a candidate. whether it is issues like the government shutdown, i did that before, and that is a big difference between the governor and i, because she has not stood up to her nominee. she will give you talking points about where she disagrees with president obama, but she has not stood up to hillary clinton, whether it is the iran deal. the health care law, or whether it is the trillion dollar tax increase that hillary clinton wants.

she has a history of imposing taxes on new hampshire families. gov. hassan: on 35 different occasions, she has stood with donald trump, even as he insulted women, made fun of people with disabilities and attacked a gold star family. finally, when it became politically inconvenient after the tapes were released, she finally said she would not vote for him, as if she was surprised by those tapes, which reflected who we have come to know as donald trump. and now trying to walk back, her campaign approved the mailer that said she wanted to work with him in the u.s. senate. she wants to create gridlock. i am happy to talk about how i will stand up to my party at any time. paul: senator? sen. ayotte: talk about gridlock, it is like vetoing a budget like she did, because she

wanted to decrease taxes on businesses. she vetoed it and now she is taking credit for it. i will be the person that makes sure our small businesses have lower taxes, unlike the governor. when you think about standing up to your party, the governor has not stood up to hillary clinton on anything of consequence. i have already done that. i stood up to donald trump and i stood up to the government shutdown and i will stand up to democrats if i think they are not doing the right thing. but i also have one of the most bipartisan records in the senate. i am focused on getting things done for the people of the state. paul: governor? gov. hassan: let's be clear, she said she was willing to vote for donald trump. giving him access to nuclear codes. i have stood up to hillary clinton and i do not support the proposal to close guantanamo bay. i will continue to fight for the

people of new hampshire. and let's also be very clear, i stood up to veto a budget, because i will always stand up for fiscal responsibility. only in washington, d.c., would you hear a debate about taking credit for something. keke: governor, lately we have been getting a daily download from wikileaks. the documents reveal disturbing information about the clinton foundation and hillary clinton's time as secretary of state. has it made you rethink your position of supporting her? gov. hassan: i think as senator rubio indicated, it is a mistake to give credence to this wikileaks stream, you are supporting the people that hacked into these records. and i think it is a mistake to do that. i will never fail to stand up to secretary clinton or my party. i have criticized her for

handling her e-mails, that was a mistake and she has apologized for that. what is at issue in this campaign and what it will be about is, whether we will come together as americans and build a future that includes everyone. a place where hard-working families who work hard to get ahead can stay ahead and a middle class is growing and where parents are confident again that their children will have a better future. that is a vision i have been working on with members of both parties and that is the vision that hillary clinton shares, which is why i support her. i do differ with her on a number of things, which i have been clear about. keke: thank you. senator, a 30 second response? sen. ayotte: a mistake is when you say 2 plus 2 equals 5. that is what happened when hillary clinton jeopardize -- some of which

were classified that jeopardized national security. this is a difference between us. i will stand up to my own party and to the other side. i have one of the most bipartisan records because i am focused on getting things done, like passing legislation to address the heroin epidemic and making sure it is easier on small businesses with taxes and regulation. the governor vetoed a budget that did provide reductions for the small businesses, but she wants to take credit for it now. it has been described as partisan in the way she handled it. gov. hassan: let's be clear about the senator's record, she voted with ted cruz to shut down the government and when she realized it was hurting new hampshire, and she was getting political heat for it, then she finally decided to pretend to be part of the solution. she voted to defund planned parenthood six times. she has been standing with mitch mcconnell on the supreme court blockade. she has stood with her party and has made a mistake of supporting donald trump, even when members of her own party and a national security expert said he posed a

danger. >> i did not think we would be talking about this topic, but the sexual misconduct schedule is front and center in this campaign. a new ad by a group supporting the senator says the governor's husband, principal at the time, covered up a scandal. and it includes the governor speaking to reporters, explaining why she accepted a campaign contribution in her first run for governor from that academy instructor involved in the scandal. governor, your campaign has pushed back against this commercial, saying it is out of bounds. i would like to hear from you on this issue. gov. hassan: this is a personal and false attack against my family. the facts are that the school and my husband went to the police as soon as they received allegations of misconduct. my campaign donated to charity a

contribution from the offender. what is really concerning is how much the senator and her allies want her reelected that they would stoop to this length, to publicize this tragedy at a school. that they would politicize other things around the opioid crisis, running ads about that in the political campaign, something we are working together on to combat. her allies want her back in washington because they know she will vote with them, with big pharma to protect prices, to vote with the oil and against the environment. they know that she will vote to protect outsourcing, so they get a tax break when they move jobs overseas. that is why they support her and why they are running this kind of despicable political ad. paul: senator?

sen. ayotte: we could have kept all of this outside money out of this race. i offered the governor a pledge, a pledge to keep the outside money out, that elizabeth warren, one of her supporters put in place. we could have kept this money out. i think we know why she did not want it out, because we see millions of dollars from senator harry reid who recruited her the , powerbrokers supporting her, mike bloomberg, the former mayor of new york city giving over $7 million and federal unions and hillary clinton's super pac, because they know that she will be a rubberstamp. paul: i think we're going back to campaign finance later in the debate, but quickly, talk about the ad. >> i have been attacked on my

character, i have been attacked about my record and the governor has not said anything about it. we could have kept the money out. she will have to address the ad. gov. hassan: money has way too much influence in politics. we could overturn citizens united, something i have supported. i have supported reform since my days in the senate. senator ayotte says overturning citizens united would be absurd. she had voted against the disclose act. i signed and sent back a pledge. the ads running against the senator address her poor judgment as a senator in the votes she has cast. sen. ayotte: you see how she embraces those ads. we could have kept them out. she said the same pledge that was good enough for elizabeth warren, she rejected because that is political speak for i do not want to sign it.

we could have kept it out of the race. paul: thank you. keke: many more topics. from the drug crisis to veterans. stay with us. we will be right back after a quick break. ♪ >> it is debate we care new hampshire and you are watching the debates. keke: we continue with the drug crisis. governor, outside republican groups have made it a point to slam your record on the heroin problem. more people are expected to die this year than last. how do you respond to the attacks on how you handled the crisis? gov. hassan: a day does not go

by where i do not meet somebody in new hampshire impacted by this, a sister of a colleague of mine who is trying to regain the trust of her children, a classmate of my son who died from an overdose. we see the impact all across our state. and since my first days in office, i have worked to address sustaining a drug task force money into trying hard to get medicaid expansion past, because it covers substance abuse. making narcan available to first responders and working to get emergency funding passed, so we can get dollars out the door as we have been to places like a bethlehem. we have to continue to roll up our sleeves every day to combat this. but it is one of the reasons it is so important we move forward and protect medicaid expansion.

keke: how much responsibility do you personally take for the fact more people will die this year than last year? gov. hassan: we all want to save every life we possibly can, right? so we have been working hard, everything from medicaid expansion to expanding our drug courts and investing in operation granite hammer to combat the supply of what is a new and deadly form of opioids. fentanyl. the other thing we need is emergency federal funding from the federal government, something all governors have called on and will continue working toward every day. every life lost is a tragedy and we must continue to work together to combat the epidemic. keke: senator, how would you handle the crisis differently? sen. ayotte: this is such an important issue. i think about my friends that lost their beautiful daughter.

so many families that have lost somebody they love in this state. i worked on my eye partisan basis for three years to pass the recovery act, focused on the best efforts it is coming from mexican drug cartels. i also want to say it is important at the state level, the money coming down. we need to make sure that those resources flow to those waiting to help those who are struggling. keke: is the money getting to the front lines of the crisis? sen. ayotte: i think there have been concerns about not fast enough.

$2 million of the $3 million has not gone out the door. i will continue to work to get all the resources we can to work together. gov. hassan: the senator just said some things she knows are not true. first of all, we have gotten out of the door about $25 million in contracts for treatment and recovery. we also have almost all of the money allocated, it is already encumbered, which means there are plans to spend it. that is how you handle contracts. so these are attacks by her and her allies. it is unfortunate. frankly, if some of them were concerned about the speed of dollars going out the door, they could have taken less than the

seven months they took to authorize the money. keke: thank you both. sen. ayotte: who she is talking about is a legislature that allocated the money and what was recently allocated, based on a recent report, two thirds has not gone out. when she vetoed the budget , she delayed funding. i have been working my hardest to make sure that we do all we can to get help to the state and we focus on prevention, treatment and recovery to save lives. paul: did the veto delay funding? gov. hassan: we kept the government running after i stood up for fiscal responsibility. the timing and lack of safeguards would have made it very difficult to continue our prevention treatment and recovery funding, so we came

together, something i wish washington would do more of, and we put together a compromise with safeguards so we could have the tax cuts, which i am glad we are able to accomplish, but also protect those priorities that businesses and families in new hampshire need. sen. ayotte: let's be clear, she vetoed the budget that had reductions for small businesses in new hampshire, and called it dishonest. then actually delayed, not only funding going to help address the heroin epidemic, but also help those struggling with mental illness. the thing that is bipartisan about the budget is republicans and democrats came together to override her veto. now she says she was for it all along. that is the doublespeak we do not need. we need to be working together. gov. hassan: i want to be clear

has voted toayotte repeal medicaid expansion five times, so for her to talk about being concerned about funding for behavioral health and substance abuse treatment, when she is willing to take away that treatment for 50,000 people is concerning. paul: i do want to move on to another topic, the broken va system. it has been a topic here and across the country. veterans are committing suicide at a rate of 22 per day. here in new hampshire we do not have a full-time hospital for our veterans. paul wants to know, what will you do to end the veterans suicide pandemic? sen. ayotte: this is so devastating. my husband is a combat veteran and he served in the iraq war, we have to do all we can to help our veterans. in the senate, i have supported the clay hunt bill to help serve

address serving veterans better with their mental health needs but at the state level we need , to be ensuring, this is something the senator and i have on, not onlyer fought for the hospital, but for more care in the communities. we need to continue to have at the v.a.ty fep unfortunately, we hear of misconduct and i have supported bills that will hold people a accountable and also support , people who are doing a good job at the va. there is so much more we need to do for veterans and of all the things we need to be doing, those who have defended the nation, they deserve the very best. paul: governor? gov. hassan: i am the daughter of a world war ii veteran, so i have a particular personal interest in making sure veterans have access to health care, including behavioral health care.

we have much more to do to end the terrible scandals around wait times in the va. we know that we have to do more to bring forward whistleblowers on the va. we should have a full-service va hospital, and i support the efforts, but we definitely have to improve things. i am proud of the work we have done in new hampshire making , permanent are ptsd and traumatic brain injury commission. and our asking the question campaign, which has helped community members learn more about who has served in the communities to make sure they are getting the help they need. and we need to make sure that we are protecting veterans from shady for-profit companies that will prey on them. paul: senator, a quick response. then we will move on. sen. ayotte: yes, this is -- for me, i am the wife of a combat

veteran. i have fought hard for veterans. in fact, i introduced legislation to be able to claw back bonuses, it passed to the committee and to hold people accountable who are not serving the veterans. guess what? it came to the senate floor and was blocked. guess what? they are putting millions of dollars into supporting her campaign. the status quo is not acceptable. we have to address this for our veterans. so, the governor has not returned money when it has come to all of the millions of dollars that are supporting her campaign, including people who want to keep the status quo. paul: governor, 15 seconds. then we need to move to another issue. gov. hassan: i have been fighting for people and small businesses of new hampshire and i am proud to stand up from

for working men and women. at the end of the day, the senator accepted money from bridge point university, which preyed on veterans. even presiding on the floor at the discussion of their potentially illegal and certainly unethical and immoral behavior, when it was discussed, and said she did not know about it, which was concerning. paul: thank you. keke: a question about equal pay. a new report from the world economic forum says at the current pace, pay equity for women globally is 170 years away. in a list of 100 and 44 countries, the u.s. came in at what would you do to help close 45. the gap? gov. hassan: one thing i have been pleased to do in new hampshire is support the pay equity act. we have equal pay for equal work now in new hampshire and it was , a bipartisan bill. that is the difference between senator ayotte and myself. she voted against equal pay for equal work at the federal level. we should have an inclusive economy that works for everyone.

that is who we are as americans. that is how we build a growing and thriving middle class. i will always stand up for equal pay for equal work. i will stand up for a woman's rights to make her own and forare decisions family planning practices. and i will make sure that we stand up for working families in supporting the expansion of pell grants. senator ayotte voted to make cuts to those grants, allowing students to refinance loans. and allowing our work to hold down the cost of education. we have frozen the cost at our state intuitions and we are lowering the cost at those institutions. this is a choice in this election about whether we will continue to progress at the federal level or stick with special interests. keke: senator? sen. ayotte: as the mother of a daughter, equal pay for equal

work is so important to make. i like what happened in new new hampshire and i thought it , was a good solution. i introduced the bill in washington because there has been gridlock on this issue. i actually thought this bill was very good. i call it the gap act, and i actually made of stronger than what was passed because their re penalties in it. that is me looking at new hampshire solutions and bringing them to the capital instead of gridlock. in a situation come of the , the governor attacked me. i worked on a bipartisan basis to make sure that -- it would be preserved. unfortunately, there are so many moves to cut access to women's health care on mammograms and i was glad to fight it. when it comes to telegrams, her favorite talking point.

to pell grants, her favorite talking i have not point. voted to cut them in any way. in fact, i have voted for expanding them, working on bipartisan legislation to make them accessible for technical education. and i voted to allow students to make sure that they can have it accessible and lower interest rates. keke: thank you. governor, would you like to respond? gov. hassan: in 2015, she voted for a budget that included $90 billion of cuts to those grants. it would have made it more expensive for students. the day before on march 20 6, 2015, there was an amendment offered that would have allowed her to restore the $90 million of cuts in that budget and she voted against restoring that. that is her record. and like she is trying to run away from donald trump, this campaign for her is about running away from her real record. sen. ayotte: let me be clear,

go read senate concurrent which the 11, governor has not read it. i voted to make sure that no cuts to pell grants took place, but that we look at what is spent every year. i would like to do that across the board on every level of federal spending. you can read it yourself. this is a false attack. i want the viewers to be able to go read that bill because i , voted on it and i am making sure that pell grants remain strong. and i have fought to major that perkins grants are not eliminated, 5000 new hampshire students impacted by that. paul: we have a lot more issues to get going. we would take a short break. when we come back, national security. stick with us. ♪ >> with 12 days to go, the

senate raises crucial. >> senator ayotte, you applauded by companies like google and facebook and have set of companies can be more aggressive. where is the line between our first amendment right and national security? >> i strongly support the first amendment. when you are supporting terrorism are asking people to , whichterrorist attacks many sites are being used to do, being taken down by social media sites, that is a line that cannot be crossed. these businesses do need to take down the site because we know they are encouraging violence in

our own country and with our allies, and this is very serious issue. the line is clear. when you are encouraging terrorism and you are a terrorist group, that is a position where he goes well beyond free speech. governor isjob as the security of our state and safety of our community. i will always put the security of our country's first. i worked to enhance school safety plans in the face of homeland security threats. we have extended active shooter training for our law enforcement. we have developed new standards for cyber security in the state, and a trained state employees on cyber security and got rid of outdated hardware and software that makes us more vulnerable. i am proud of our national guard, the men and women now in harms way. i support the first amendment, but when terrorists are using

our social media and our systems to promote terrorism and create and develop real threats to our country, we have to take a stand and make sure that we are working with high-tech companies to get these terrorists off of social media and keep our country safe. keke: paul? paul: let's talk about college affordability. unfortunately the state has one of the highest levels of student debt in the country. $36,000 per student. it is up over 8% from the year before. hillary clinton was in the state and calling for debt-free college for state institutions. governor, if you are in the senate next year, is that a plan you will sign up for? gov. hassan: one thing i hear

from families and businesses is how important higher education's affordability is. i worked on a bipartisan budget to freeze in-state tuition at our universities for the first time in 25 years. we actually lowered it for community colleges. and we put together options for public universities and systems, to lower the cost of higher education. that is something i want to continue to work on in the senate. it is a point of difference between senator ayotte and myself. she has voted against allowing students to refinance loans. i have been working to make sure that we lower the cost of higher education and i will continue to , do that in the u.s. senate. i think clinton's plan to have a debt-free college at public universities is a very good goal to be working towards and i , think we have to come together and get to this issue, because it is for our families and our

businesses that need a 21st century workforce. paul: is that something you will support or is there a different way you will go? sen. ayotte: as somebody that has student loans, put herself through law school and then transfer those loans to childcare, i understand this is a big issue. the governor can keep talking about pell grants, but go read, i am actually working to expand them. i am working on , them for career technical education. i was also part of a group to make sure that interest rates would not double, saving students money. you can look at my speech on the senate floor when they were trying to eliminate the perkins grant, i fought it and this is an important issue we need to work on together. we also need to understand how

we would pay for this. making sure we are in a position that we provide affordable education, we need colleges to have more skin in the game and make sure they are working with us instead of increasing prices in a way that makes it unaffordable for all families. i will make this a priority. i know how important this is to new hampshire families. paul: thank you. we have a lot more to get through. keke: this question comes from a person in -- what will you do protect the public from mass shootings? sen. ayotte: this has been a priority to keep new hampshire safe and serving on the armed services committee, from both obviously criminals and also terrorists. so it is very important that criminals and terrorists cannot have access to firearms, but it is equally important to protect

people's law-abiding rights under the second amendment. i am proud to have the endorsement of the new hampshire troopers and the manchester patrolmen's association having , worked with law enforcement on keeping the stay safe. i would want to make sure that we fix the system right now in terms of background checks. i support background checks. i want to get the mental health records that should be there by law. new hampshire is finally doing that, but has been late doing that. in addition, if you are too dangerous to get on a commercial flight, to not be able to immediately purchase a firearm. but also if you think you are wrongfully on that list, i support an effort to measure that there is a mechanism to get off the list. we have to focus on making sure people are safe, but we also have to protect people's constitutional rights. keke: governor?

gov. hassan: responsible gun owners have a right to have them for recreation, self-defense, and hunting. but i also believe we can take steps to bolster national security by expanding background checks. this is a major difference between senator ayotte and myself. she talked about the no-fly, no buy bill, the united states congress could still circumvent the background checks system under her bill by buying guns online and at gun shows. and you know what, isis knows it. they have been telling people in the u.s. that they can just go buy guns online and at gun shows. senator ayotte had a chance to vote to expand checks after sandy hook. she didn't. she had an opportunity after orlando, and she didn't. this is a national security issue. it is a very concerning record that she has of standing with the gun lobby instead of the

people of new hampshire. keke: a quick response. sen. ayotte: gun-control will not stop isis. but i have worked, i lead a bipartisan effort of bringing people together to address, if you are too dangerous to get on a commercial flight not being , able to purchase firearms. i bring people together around these problems and also making sure that we protect the second amendment rights of law-abiding citizens, something i will do. this is an important issue and i have the endorsement of law enforcement agencies in the state, like the troopers association because they know i , will work to keep new hampshire safe. paul: i will do a quick lightning round, short answers. climate change, do believe it is man-made? gov. hassan: i do. i have been fighting climate change and working to improve our environment. senator ayotte, when she first

ran doubted whether climate , change was real. i have an endorsement of the sierra club. i am very proud of that. sen. ayotte: i do believe it is , again, youvernor need to understand i was the first republican in the country to support the clean power plan. i have crossed the party line to protect new hampshire's environment, and that goes back to my time as attorney general. paul: one last question. one of you is going to lose on november 8. in publicoth been service for a long time and have accomplished careers but if you , do lose, what will you do over the next year or so? sen. ayotte: one thing i will do is sit down with my husband and my children, figure out what i will do next, but most of all i will probably spend time with them first. gov. hassan: this election is not about us. senator ayotte and i will be

fine whatever the outcome. this is about the people of new hampshire working together to vibrant,tronger, more more inclusive economy based on innovation. that is what the election is about. paul: candidates, thank you. keke: time for closing statements. gov. hassan: thank you again for moderating, senator ayotte for participating, and everybody viewing tonight. i talked about my dad, a veteran who fought in the battle of the bulge and it was not unusual for us what will you do , for freedom today? because my dad and his generation, they believed in a cause greater than themselves, save the world from hitler's and built in country into one of the and militaryomic power the world has ever known. that is the spirit and try to bring to my work as governor of new hampshire, bringing people

together to get things done. it is a perspective that should inform our work in washington. what this race comes down to is whether new hampshire will have a senator who puts special interests first, or a senator who has a record of putting the people of new hampshire and small businesses first. i ask for your vote on november 8. thank you for watching tonight. sen. ayotte: thank you paul and keke. thank you to all of you at home who are listening. everyday i wake up with a sense of purpose to fight for a better quality of life for you and your family. i have one of the most bipartisan records in the senate, because i know the only way we are going to get things done is by working together, like the effort i lead to epidemic, oreroin help small businesses to create good paying jobs or to , strengthen and preserve medicare to make college and , health care more affordable for our families. as the wife of a combat veteran,

i am proud to support those who keep us safe in a dangerous world. our military and first responders, men and women at the portsmouth shipyard there is , some much more work to do and it will take somebody who will stand up to both parties when they are taking us in the wrong direction. and find common ground to deliver results for our state. that is what i have done in the senate. that is why i am running again. i as for your vote on november 8 so that we can continue the work that we have started together for our great state. keke: thank you both, very much. wow. paul, i guess that is it. if you missed part of it or you would like to check out any of the debates from this week, you can head to our website, nhi.com, or to our facebook page. paul: we hope you found this in informative. stick with us on election night, we will be your campaign headquarters. keke: thank you for watching. have a good night. ♪
