the announcement by john boehner to retire as it speaker of the house of representative not only setoff a contest in the house but a scramble in the ohio eighth district for his seat. i'm dan hurly.

election with comfortable marginis. republican voters have to vote twice for their choice to replace boehner. first they select a candidate to fill the term of boehner. second they select a candidate. logically the same person to run in the november 8th general election for a full term. in both the special and regular elisions the republican candidate will face democrat corey foster and james condent jr. the election runs on the western portion of ohio. pick letter, pick

primary. before. some are proud they never been involved in electoral politics before the this race. some have more name reck recognition then other. splitting the vote 15 ways is hard. in no way am i indicating who i believe will win. in after if a bit call order after if a bet after if order this he lives in tip city.

he has concrete plants in ohio, kentucky, and has a mobile division. cave kevin white, on my left, is a small business owner. he's an united airways piolet. he's a veteran after being deprovided for 6000 hours. j.d. winterig. he works at a grain elevator. he changed john boehner in 2014 there the republican primary. thank you thanks to all of you for joining us. we'll see what we can do hear with four candidates. i'm sure that's the same thing you are facing all along in this campaign. i'm going to start with asking a very simple question. let's start with you bill. >> sure. >> everybody gets a chance of

what sets you apart from the field of 15 people that you believe will make you a better member of congress. >> what i offer people is not only my private sector business experience. i have a business that i manage but i have policy experience. we had difficult problems in ohio five years ago and we got them turned around. we want to take that success to washington. that distinguishes me from someone else. policy experience. >> one thing i learned when you announced is government is about wisdom and working together. working together isn't always popular in 2016. why did you say that? >> what you hear out in the eighth district is people are flustered with washington.

getting anything done. in order to get things done you need to work together whether with fellow republicans or across the aisle. i see that in my private sector role and government role. that doesn't mean you are giving anything up. you need to work together to find solutions. >> what do you bring to this if you become the congressman. >> i think my straights are number one i never held a political office. i never run. washington needs more outsiders. i started my own business in 2000 in middle town. i started from scratch. i didn't inherit anything. built it into an operation in every county in this district. we have nine plaints. i'm also very active in the

i've been on the board of early child succeeds. we do a lot of work with poverty stricken families. being a business own owner and local government leader that's iowa needs. >> bill points out his career in politics all though relatively resent and you start out on your website being very clear that what sets you apart is you never be in political office or run before. i found that very interesting. kevin, what about you? what do you think you would bring to congress? >> well, what i think you are seeing are both parties left the american worker and families behind. i come from a background that touches more different moving

economy or other issues we lay , labor and union, family farm, your own company homestead feed and supplies. i touch all of those and nobody else comes close to that experience. the key attributes i bring is command of issues. if you go to my website you will find specific proposals to solve some of the nations top issues. you have to transcribe independentology trance ideology into practical policy making. you need to get the.govment moving -- government moving forward for issues. you don't need soundbites. i don't have the deep pockets or special interest money. you invited me hear so know i

>> there you go. >> j.d. you ran two years ago. this is some thing you have been interested if in for sometime. what do you think you will bring? >> a few things. i did run voters are flustered people who don't listen to their interest. people who don't fulfill the prom promisees they promised. i have experience. >> for example? >> running against john boehner. these are financial burr dons on don ban -- burdens on my generation. i'm a twofer. i have small business experience, ago cull which you agriculture experience.

people of district eight. >> i'll go on and we'll do a series of questions that emerged in the general discussion. let's start with you, kevin. on the question of immigration. let's takeoff the table the idea of straightening border security. everybody supports that. let's talk about the question of what do you do with people who are here who are undocumented. approximately 11 million. also what do you do with the children of undocumented who were born here and are american citizens. what would be your policy in congress? >> well, i have a policy on the website that addresses this specifically. this is a football issue that's a hot potato. you can't get these guys to

rhetoric other than i'm going to secure the border. >> that's why i'm taking that off the table. >> the answer is essentially it takes five hundred -- -- five hundred days to deported. if it person has been in the country prior than two 2001 than i hold who people responsible. the government and the perpetrator. i put in accountable by mechanism in their which is an one time remediation program. if you are in the country before 2001 you will have the time to apply for a one time two year

by uncle sam. all programs will be followed. you must learn i think english. you will have to pay a fine. if you have five kids you will be out of $15,000. they have to complete the prom grams within two years. from the time the program is commissioned and 24 months later. all provisions are resended and everyone that didn't complete the program or didn't sign-up will be on the deportation >> okay. responsible -- 2001. >> they will be deported. i'll start with the criminals criminals criminals criminals first and others are on notice to self-deport. >> i want to ask you a general question.

you can approach this by whatever you want to say or respond to that. >> i believe there is a few things some of what kevin said reminds me of the self-deportation concept that was brought up. what happens when they don't self-deport or enroll. the primary thing is there is a law that when an illegal immigrant comes toe contact with police they should be deported. we shouldn't decide what laws to enforce. we should let law enforcement do their work. we won't get rid of these 11 million peoples problems. one thing i would very much be

citizenship. it's possible there could be a path to legal status to stay here. the tax rates we charge american citizens in payroll taxes. they have the benefit to be here without paying for it and that will be addressed. >> bill. >> i'm also opposed to a pathway to citizenship. it's impractical to deport 11 million people. it makes sense that as people encounter the legal system criminals need to go, drug dealers need to go and defenders need to go back. it believe a come prehensive strike comprehensive strike that digive come prestrategy to deal with people who are left. these numbers don't continue to go. >> you know, i don't think we can put-out a specific plan.

and none of us know what we need to do. >> i believe we need to address the root of the problem. we need to fix that problem because nothing is going to get done. happen. as far as putting together a general idea we are constitutional republic. we need to enforce the laws on the books and take a look at what incentives we are offering the illegals. >> i only have two minutes left. i'll do a quick thing related to this. there has been a lot of rhetoric in the presidential campaign particularly about it plays of muslims in the united states. both immigration and those who are here. in the eighth district you have a significant muss muslim

islamic center of greater cincinnati. i want to ask you do you have a personal relationship with muslim families, muslim community and what's your pollusion this policy policy on that? >> last night we were at a forum and i spoke with a local scored board member that was a muslim. she's very active and bright. to me this is imsimple. muslim's aren't the enemy. we need to stop talking about it. it's the second largest religion in the world. they believe in a lot of the same thing that us christian's do. we need to focus on rat call islamic terrorist. >> i represent the turkish district in dayton and they have a large muslim community.

we are dealing with a faction of people that need to be dealt with. >> okay, j.d. >> we need to have them asemilate. i lived and worked in france. there is a huge muslim population. they are struggling with the pop lake that hasn't as semilated. >> what rabbit here in our here -- about here in our district. >> we need to find the rat rat raddic calls. >> you don't want to whitewash all islamic folks asterias. there is little in their own religionon or chain of command that someone criticizes or hold a lot of the han horrible acts or rat radicalized acts.

relationships? >> i don't have any personal relationships in ohio. i've known plenty on deprovidement. >> we have to take a break but

welcome back. we are focused on the republican primary in the eighth congressional district. the seat held by john boehner.

i have four with me today. on the left kevin white and j.d. winteregg. on wintereg. on healthcare all of you opposed to obamacare. let's presume republicans hold the house, hold the senate and win the white house. the party has the ability to repeel the affordable care act. what happens to the people who have been using the healthcare and what is your belief if there is an alternative. >> we would have to phrase them out. we can't cut everything off. there are places down south were they got the insurance companies out. they avoided this society we

afordble. -- affordable. they can go in and make the healthcare affordable. >> they have the insurance companies out? >> right, that's the risk the doctors take. the free market works better than the government. the government, every time they get involved the prices go up. >> kevin? >> well, name one major piece of legislation that has been repealed. that's one of the problems. my approach the two tracks. i will advocate for full repeal. i'll get to your question in just a second. we need immediate reform and relief on some of the most poison it's poisonous tent tent als of that law. the question is, j.d. answered

if you do repeal it needs to be a phrased out transition. >> transition to? >> so to some other alternative. we redid the entire system for the bottom 20% that are uninsured. >> we need to do some thing after we repeal it or at the same time. >> republicans have been talking about an alternative for a long time. what we have now is what they call an alternative. is there an alternative out there? >> there is a concrete all turntive. >> there turn -- alternative. >> there is, thank you for using that. >> that wasn't a plug. >> i appreciate that.

government is not good at running stuff. the v.a. is not good at government is not good at that. we need to get rid of the money. that means the government has to bail them out. they take the profits from the companies that aren't making money. it's a billion dollars problem last year with a $1.4 billion additional reserves. let's do some come common sense things. let's put the powering of purr changing purr -- purchasing in the hands of the consumer. let's put the money back in consumers hand. let's let the insurance companies cross boarders and compete. i have plans in indiana and oh, , kentucky. i can't by it same plans in a

that's crazy. >> what's looking is a concernive consen us us spinning consen consensus about what it's about. i know people who lost insurance suddenly. the idea of phrasing it out makes sense to me. we just don't need a, all i couldn't to hear about is the complaints about the nature of what the healthcare system is doing to them and obamacare is doing to them. >> before we end. i feel like i spent my entire last six weeks and underlying who is the republican party now and what is their identity as a way to get at this would john

viable. would his positions be vie able today at all in this race? bilker let's start with you. we only have 3 minutes left. >> thank you for starting with me. i think every candidate has been changed. i think the voter is on guard. i believe the voter is angry and anxious to hear things and ideas and how you are different and hold salespeople specific. it will be a fair fight among all of us. >> i think the most amazing thing is how many years have we gone year and year where the congressional approval rating is in the low teensover single digits. this country wants congress to do their job. that requires a different kind of person. we need to send different people to congress if we expect things to change. >> okay. >> it comes down to leadership and action.

the republican party has turned it's back on it's principals. that's why you have a tea party and disgruntle folks for trump and bernie sanders and the other side. people are worried about self-precertify invasion and not preservation. i'm about rolling my leaves up and getting to work. i do have concrete proposals on my website. >> not about concrete. >> i'll be the one to say it john boehner based on his actions in congress he wouldn't be considered a republican. >> he wouldn't be considered a republican? >> based on his actions. nature. his words were conservative. he didn't align the two. kevin is right, they want to see

that's what the republican party is looking. that's why there is a civil war going on. i'll stand-up and follow-through with what i believe with these actions. i can claim that. >> we are basing basically out of time. i washington i want to thank all four of you for sharing your views and being willing to get into the fray. if people gone people of goodwill different prospectives don't get in then, you know, there are no other answers or fresh ideas. on tuesday the polls open at 6:30 a.m. and they close at 7:30 at night. 13 hours, plenty of time. the presidential race in both parties dominate the headline.
