will be right here in the state of ohio. ybody that lives close to the border better get out of the way because they are coming in. >> mr. dewine, mr. cordray have 30 seconds. >> he didn't do anything with the fcc when they took net neutrality away. that neutrality away. now he promised he's going to stand up. fentanyl has exploded and the network said all enforcement supports drug cartels flooded the state over the last several years on your watch. it went from 70 in a year can understand this from 70 year to 3,431 last year. drug dealers have had a playground in ohio while you've been asleep at the switch you've been a failure for ohio. next question. >> and players across the state complained they cannot find enough people to fill their available jobs. one of the biggest underutilized tools of the potential in the state are restored citizens, offenders, men and women with criminal records have paid their debt to society and want an opportunity to make a living. but many businesses are reluctant to hire them. if you are ele

governments and state policy. the democrats have 12 or 13 states where they control the house and senate and then there are a handful of states, small number, where one party controls the house and one party controls the senate. heading into this election, back to this question about why this is so important, this is sort of the little kahuna. for redistricting, 2020 is the big kahuna. there's a lot of action in this midterm because over 800 weight -- state legislatures will be elected in two weeks. so less than two weeks. 36 governors. 34 of them will be elected and involved in redistricting. this is a big redistricting election. not the biggest. in 2010 it was the first midterm for barack obama. it was devastating for the democrats. republicans, that's when they lurched forward. the 2010 election. they wound up having to have the strong upper hand in the redistricting process of 2010. democrats don't want to be caught flat footed. they would want to work hard to work on the state election. >> if there is an emergenc

they were all over the state of ohio. i put a group together and challenge them and said, what is the protocol? they came back and told me every rape kit should be tested. we have now tested close to 14,000 rape kits. 12,000 of those were there when mr. cordray was there. we have matches on a huge number of these, and we have justice for victims, justice for victims. so i am very proud of what we have done. we have taken rapists off the streets. equally importantly, there has been justice for those victims. colleen: this question goes to mark, from right here in marietta. nurse, i ametired interested in the best medical care. we have excellent facilities here in southeastern ohio, but expert care. have many do not have the means to travel to these hospitals. you bring affordable transportation to rural ohioans to visit bigger cities? mr. cordray: -- dr. dewine: thank you very much. it is a problem, mark, in our rural communities, as far as their care. we have hospitals that have closed in some of our rural areas, so people

, some and of the smaller states. usually they'll have hearings, public input, draw draft maps, send it to the chamber and to the governor. goes through the traditional process in the states. legislatures in states how many are held in republican hands? state e are 31 legislatures where the house and senate are controlled by republicans. this is the most republican legislatures in the history of the united states. have riding ns high. they control state governments and policy. the democrats have 12 or 13 states where they control both the house and the senate, and a handful of states where one party controls the house and one party controls the senate. heading back to this election, so t why this election is important, this is a little kahuna. 20 is the business kahuna, but there's a lot of reaction in his one because over 800 state legislators who will be involved will be in two weeks, so less weeks.o there are 36 governors, 34 will restricting.n this is a big redistricting. 2010, it was the first for barak obama. it

our healthcare costs are among the 10 worst in the united states. and, we pay the third-highest deductibles of any state in the country. it is no wonder big jug companies have given millions of dollars to the campaign. he has been protecting them, not you. if you or someone in your family has a pre-existing condition, like asthma, or diabetes, or cancer, you should know this. mike took your tax dollars and sent attorneys to court to allow insurance companies to deny you coverage or raise your premiums when you get sick, think about that. he also sent lawyers to court to wipe out the medicaid expansion, he later brought this to ohio to help so many people. we work to improve healthcare for all of us. we will battle the greedy middlemen to bring down costs. we will fight to keep medicaid expansion and we will protect everyone with a pre-existing condition to make sure they don't lose their coverage. there is no issue on which mike and i disagree more than on healthcare and there is no issue more important to ohio's family. i will stand up for you and m

the costs of the state have to be looked at. in terms of equity and whether we have the right number of judges, i would work with monty and the bar association to see if we have the right number of judges. if we don't, we need to fill the open slots that are there. mr. lamont: we have cut back on the probate judges over the last seven years and that has not hard justice. but as a businessperson, nothing is worse than a slow judicial system. sometimes you need answers. i would be very careful before i talked about willie nelly cutting the justice department. i think it's important that we have the courts fully staffed. mr. stefanowski: a true businessperson does not fill roles because there was a quota. a true businessperson starts with what do we need, what are the qualifications, can we do with a few less? a true businessperson looks at the bottom line. a person who wants big government blindly fills roles year after year whether they are needed and charges the taxpayers of connecticut, rather than finding deficiencies where we

marketing officer for the state. if you believe the adage, your next best customer is your current customer, you have to spend a lot of time with the employers that are here, as well as all the small businesses. take the time to listen to them. tell them that they are loved, that the taxes they pay are appreciated, the taxes their employees pay are appreciated, the investment they make in their plant and equipment and researches appreciated. we have taken the private sector for granted for far too long, which has opened us up to 49 of the governors coming into court people. we are in a competitive world for jobs in capital and investment and if you don't see yourself as competitive, you don't get that going forward. i would have developed relationships with senior people at ge early on, and if they had told us that would -- that they had these problems about transportation, before -- problems about transportation, investment and if you don't see yourself as competitive, you don't get that going forward. problems about

to live in, choosing other states. the number one state, indiana. they are not going there for the weather. they are going there because the taxes are lower in the regulations are more reasonable. the manufacturing sector there is booming compared to illinois. and add insult to injury, those states have changed the regulations and growing their union jobs faster than the state of illinois. in indiana, wisconsin, michigan, we are hostile on taxes and regulations in mr. princeton's plan, a graduated income tax with 11 billion of new spending. independent sources. 11 billion of new spending, new taxes will crush the middle class. question creators, they will flood out in the sound of that flood, will not be the sound of toilets being flushed. it will be the sound of businesses getting flushed down the train in this state of illinois. we need to cut the taxes, reform our state government, reduce the regulatory burden on our businesses and end the corruption that mr. princeton is a part of. he is funded, part of the political machine that has been destroy

voices were the states part of c-span's 50 capitals tour. fox news host tucker carlson book "schiphols" how the selfless class is bringing to the brink of revolution. i could not get past the idea for the country voted donald trump. how would you do that? it is not attack on trump? i think trump is right in the sense and a bun of things. you would not elect trump unless you really really, really wanted to send a message. what is the messaging? nesage is people who are in hated on both sides and him and screwed up. easterny night at 8:00 on q&a.

what you feel is the state of tribal relations in south dakota? what policies are initiatives would you advocate to impact tribal relations and the general quality of life in indian country? mr. sutton: i think it is improved. i think we have a long ways to go. one thing i like to give the governor credit for is putting state tribal relations at the a cabinet level. i think that is important because we have someone who will be working very closely with our tribes. i have built with -- i've built trust with tribes. i have traveled to every reservation on this campaign and we have a lot of opportunities to build trust and build relations with them, to work on improving education and health care and economic development. i think those are three areas that we could really work together on to help build a better system. one of the things that ogallala building aoing is technological education high school that they will filled with 400 kids on day one. that is an incredible opportunity. we should work with other tribes to do the same thing. maybe we coul

who do you want to lead the state of the next four years? tonight, kgw news and the oregonian bring you a debate between the top candidates in the race for governor. democrat kate brown and republican knute buehler, the candidates will answer video question submitted by dozens of oregonians, plus take questions from the panel of political journalists. from kgw, the oregonian and oregonlive, this is decision 2018, the debate for oregon's governor. >> welcome to the final debate for oregon governor. the combined newsrooms of kgw and the oregonian are here to serve you. you will hear directly from the candidates, to help you make an informed choice when you vote. we're joined by the top candidates seeking the job, kate brown and knute buehler. quickly, here's what you can expect. the candidates will take questions from our panel of political journalists including reporters from kgw and the oregonian. the professor is back with us to keep everyone on time. could not do it without you, kerry. we will play video questions from dozens around the st

then also the targeting of state election systems. what we know now as airport through and got gotten the information is that all 50 states where in some way looked at or targeted with a varying degrees. some it was simple google searches. looking to understand how is the state structured, what was the website? others we know there was at least scanning of the websites, looking for a former abilities and a small number of cases. and then actual an incident, where access was gained. the lesson learned from this and the take away from the department of homeland security, working with the state and local election officials is a recognition that our elections are critical to our nation. that there are targets because of the criticality to our function and it is incumbent on all of us, working together with the federal partners, across this country to identify the risks and threats to understand our cyber posture and how to build resilience in the process. it is not just about securing it. but the ability to detect and recover from incident

the state water board was helping fund. i can't remember the project. they were helping fund the project. the $1 billion price tag is probably right. one point. to the commissioner more and's list. i think adaptive management. i know steve used it. i am not sure of the meaning. it would go a long ways if it meant these measures didn't turn-out to work we weren't seeing recovery of the populations we were expecting, that we would take further action. i think that would be another one. thanks so much for your time. >> last but not least. yoany other public comment on ts item? >> my name is eddy. i was born in san francisco. i have lived here much of my life. in many instances, i am a big fan of the sfpc. i think it can be very forward thinking and do a lot of great work with regard to the power sf. i live an block away from holloway which is fabulous and looking good. i do think there is room for improvement and to be more innovative and forward thinking with regard to our water supply and the opportunities we have to identify new supplies. i think there

we all know that is the life blood of our state. if we don't get that right, florida's future is in jeopardy. i want to protect educational opportunities. including more vocational and technical training in our classrooms. those are the jobs of 21st century. i want to protect our communities. if you don't have safe communities, a lot of that doesn't matter. todd: your time is up. thank you, mr. desantis. i want to direct the same uestion that mr. gillum. divisive political rhetoric pushing some of us over the line and over the edge. mr. gillum: i think the answer is absolutely it is. we saw not only around the country but also here in our own state, democratic elected officials targeted. thankfully, nobody was hurt in today's incidences. we have seen a collapsing of our political discourse. my opponent, as soon as he won the republican nomination, went on fox news and said to florida's voters, not to monkey the state up by electing me. it was followed up by neo-nazis making calls into the state of florida to attack my character. jung

this is water use through july 2018 as reported to the state board. this is total, not just purchases. for july 17% less than the pre-drought use. you continue to see the gap between the top blue line 2013 and the red line which is our current use. obviously, there has been some rebound, but not back to the pre-drought use. we are now five years later with -- i can attest to tremendous growth in the service area. this brings to mind the last comment which is because of this and because of the delta plan and because of making water conservation a way of life, the bosca agencies and board are moving sooner for a request for proposal in january for an update youd water demand and conservation water study to look at the entirety in the service area based on adopted land use plan by the land use entities. coordinated among themselves around looking at demand projections, total demand projections and conservation opportunities both making water conservation a way of life and more conservation opportunities to see what we can do there and also what we can do

many believe the state is not doing enough to get the people insured. please state one thing that you will do to help more texans get health insurance. gov. abbott: very importantly, we need to understand success that we have had. the uninsured rate among texans has dropped 22%. the uninsured rate among texan children has dropped 23%. sex --anks the second second best date -- state in the u.s. come so we are making great progress. yearhing i worked on last about negotiating with the federal health and union services. it is for an 1115 waiver. that through the medicaid system, texas would provide greater access to medicaid in the unique ways that texas needs. texas does not fit the approach that might work for kansas. [bell] able to cover was more people in the state of texas. in six texans do not have health insurance. we are the highest uninsured state in the u.s. texas leads the attack on pre-existing conditions. a pre-existing condition is that you are female and can get pregnant. now you are being singled out because you are female. over $10 billion

half the states have that investment, we don't. ndly when you get that it was because the federal government which promised infrastructure but hasn't delivered will bring it and bring funding if . if we have our plan in place now what interest rates are low which is a smart thing to do, they're likely we state and local match on that program. we'll have our ducks in a row and we will be able to leverage the maximum federal funds to build public transit in the state. but a 27 counties with no public transit you can't get from home to work and let you have an operating vehicle is unacceptable in ohio. we need to think about that take a look at our cities, we no public transit is a crying need. we've never financed it appeared to say the state has to play a role but he's not willing to do anything, i pretty talk about blue ribbon commission which is another excuse for i'm not ready to lead but we will tell you about something to the election doesn't get the job done for places like cleveland immediacy commitment and leadership from the

the state up by electing me. it was followed up the same week by neo-nazis by making calls to attack my character, double music in the background and the calls of monkeys. we've seen neo-nazis and powered. we saw what happened in charlottesville, the equivocation, that this president has demonstrated. my opponent endorsed, has run this race. very close to the trump handbook where we called each other nam names, where we run false advertisements and in this case, every single one of his advertisements that mentions by name has been declared false by fact. >> your time is up. >> injure side signed -- it attacked our police officers. it says they have no place in justice, they should be defunded, he signed a manifesto that said the u.s. was the biggest bully in history of the planet. we should take money out of our military. this same group that he stands with and standby, attacks the state of israel for bike boycott and sanction. they say it is real is a genocide state. you want to talk about vision, it doesn't get

the governor office. i have big ideas for this state. ways we can work on education and workforce, move people off of assistance and into higher-paying jobs, address affordable housing and health care, the mental health care crisis and making sure we are waging a war on addiction. we do not have to increase state government to do these. we don't have to raise taxes to do it. all we need is genuine accountability, experience, and leadership. so i look forward to the discussion tonight. >> thank you. mr. evans, you have one minute to share your thoughts. go ahead. mr. evans: thanks. my name is kurt evans. i am the elder son of kyle evans, a country musician that the older folks still remember. he was inducted into the state hall of fame later in 1989. i went to college at south dakota state university. i studied math and science education, got a bachelor's degree, became a high school teacher and a basketball coach. by 1996, i ran for the u.s. house as an independent. that was the race in which john thune won. in 2002, i joined the libertar

the state argued you state argued akin to the trial court. you can only find incompetent he or psychosis or insanity or dilution now is the basis on the rejection of her argument and i don't think it's too difficult to articulate this concept of incompetency that relates to rational wonders ending, disorientation as a key factor. that is for me perhaps useful to a court to articulate. in a lot of ways your inability to orienting time and place is going to undermine your ability to rationally understand what's going on. that's a fairly well-developed area of the medical profession. >> mr. stephenson, determination and that one, he knew that he was subject to execution by having killed a police officer. >> i would deal with at the same way the court did in panetti. the abstract understanding that someone convicted of a murder can be executed does not tell resolve the question of whether this defendant has a rational understanding of his circumstances. the example i use is a common one, a common problem you see in dementia when someone goes to s

he is living in the state of denial. the rest of us are living in the state of illinois. we went 730 six days without a budget. there were $16 billion off a backlog he built up, $1 billion wasted in late payment fees. eight credit downgrades, the worst credit rating in the united states and he is the biggest deficit spender in the history of the state of illinois. he has been a failed governor. if you want economic development, look to me as i have put forward a real plan for job creation, to make sure we are attracting businesses, not driving them away, and in for structuring -- and for infrastructure and creating great jobs in adams county and western illinois. state -- stay on the topic of infrastructure. this is for you mr. pritzker. governor quinn made the promise in rockford and possibly other areas in the state the rail was coming to rockford and expanding. he made the same promise in 2014. he made the same promise through other states, other cities as well. if elected, how do you work to bring rail across the state to expand jobs and grow areas like rockford and ot

hawaii is the southernmost state in the united states. people from this south say, we're the south. actually, we are the south. we are way, way south. that is the thing about hawaii. we are the most remote landmass anywhere on the planet. anywhere on the whole planet. hourt to hawaii is a five flight from anywhere. by ship, three or four days. we are isolated. like i said, when you got here, you realize how different this place is. violence thatf are dependent on the outside for everything. we are dependent for food, power and electricity, all of the built structures around, everything is imported. that is the thing that most people when they come here, the first thing they realize is this is a different place. it feels that the rest of the country, the same currency, same language, same forms of government, but it is different. something is different. it is our extreme isolation. for us to be a vibrant and healthy society, we have become a lot more self-sufficient. we are looking at that. hawaii, our goal is 100% energy within the next 20 years. we are on our way. we are starting t

i'm running because i love the state of michigan. i grew up in grand rapids and my first job was at a lumber store and stock this of the target worked at a buffet. my toughest job came when i was 29 years old. i became a member of the sandwich generation and that siblings i was a witch between two generations of my own family for whom i was the primary caregiver. my mom at the end of her life in my firstborn daughter at the beginning of hers and my mom was dying of brain cancer and i had to take on her insurance company for wrongfully denying her chemotherapy. it was a tough time. no one should have to go through that. that is the experience that made me who i am today that compels the work i do and drove me as a senate democratic leader to cross the aisle and work with rick snyder, a republican governor to deliver on medicaid expansion in our state because of our bipartisan work and because of that work 680,000 people in a state of healthcare today who did not before. $2.3 billion of economic activity to a state because of that work

this poses an unacceptable security risk to the united states. moreover, many of these people are ripe targets for human traffickers and others who would exploit them. we don't want that to happen. i've spoken twice in the last two days to my counterparts, we and we trust that mexico's leaders know what the best steps are to resolve the situation and we urge timely action on their part. the united states also has a message for those were currently part of this caravan or any caravan which follows. you will not be successful at getting into the united states illegally, no matter what. i repeat, the caravan will not cross our southern border under any circumstances. if you seek to come here, go through the normal refugee process. if you apply for refugee status, a permanent solution is possible in mexico or in a third country. but i can tell he would certainty, we are determined that illegal entry into the united states from this caravan will not be possible. -- but i can tell he would certainty, we are -- but i can tell you with certainty that ille

we have seen hospitals across the state, particularly in the rural parts of the state, closed. that is of real concern to me. we need to do medicaid expansion, give insurance to the 300,000 people who need it, make sure our rural hospitals remain viable, and we should not be giving federal tax dollars to other states. >> same question for you, mr. lee. i am going to repeat it to you. again, this question from glenn parks of cordova, tennessee. rejected medicaid expansion and nearly 200,000 tennesseans lack access. why are so many uninsured, and what would you do to change it? very much.ank you thanks for the privilege of being in this city. memphis. my family is from here. nom honored to be here, doubt. every tennessean deserves to have access to quality health care that they can afford. what i want to do as governor is to make sure that that happens. we have a fundamentally flawed health care system in this state, and really in this country. in my company, i employ 1200 folks. our insurance rates went up 29% two years ago. on top of that increase they went up 19% the following

we've been recognized as the number one state in the country. we have the second lowest unemployment, second lowest cost of doing business. where the third best managed state in the country. we are seeing wages rise, taxes go down. our budget is balanced and we have $127 million surplus. we are investing like never before in education, job training and healthcare. iowa is working and we are moving in the right direction and edit it has been an honorable lifetime to serve as the governor of this great state and i humbly am asking for your vote on november 6 so that we can build on the progress and success we are seeing, so we can keep lowering taxes and helping iowans keep more of their hard-earned money. it's an honor to serve, god bless you and thanks for the opportunity >> governor reynolds, thank you very much . [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, we knew we couldn't hold them back forever. that's our debate tonight, i'd like to thank reynoldsand hubbell for a spirited debate . >> televising and live streamingthe debate, i couldn't hear a wor

and georgia is the state where the secretary of state alone, among all other states in the country, he alone refused any help when it came to shoring up the security of his states elections, even after he was directly warned by homeland security and subsequent li by the fbi. georgia is the state where the secretary of state said these warnings were ridiculous. ridiculous warnings. there is no chance russia would ever target his state. are you kidding? it turns out his state is one of the states that russia targeted on october 28th, 2016. and we can name the guy who did it. and the office he was sitting in when he did it. once those russian military officers start -- were targeting georgia's elections system starting on october 28th, 2016, i wonder what they did with georgia's voter systems. we don't know because under that secretary of state, rather than let anybody investigate if anything untoward might have happened, instead they wiped the servers. they erased the servers. so nothing can ever be checked. that secretary of state in georgia is now the republican candidate for governor

governor served in the iowa state senate. democratic challenger fred hubbell, attorney, businessperson and former chairman of yonkers department store. he served as acting director of that about of economic developers of iowa and chair of the iowa power fund board of directors. our panelists today include jenna jackson, anchor and reporter for kw qc tv 6 is boris saunders, anchor of case erg. and aaron murphy, bureau chief for the quad city times and lee enterprises. before we begin we will go over the debate rules. each candidate will get to make a one minute opening statement and we will begin with questions. each panelist will direct a question to one or both candidates. candidates get one minute for response and the opposing candidate gives a 30-2nd rebuttal. more time will be allotted for rebuttal by a candidate. we held a coin toss moment ago to determine the candidates have the first opening statement and first question. coin toss was won by governor reynolds who will begin by presenting her opening statement. governor?

they need to attract people back here to the state. it is not always the government trying to take care of things. can help ussector to make sure students are not in over their heads when they graduate from college. and helping students work over the summer to get an idea of the value of a dollar so that of have those loans when they are in school. >> alan, your thoughts? you could have an eighth grade education and do just fine when my folks were young and we did not make them pay for it. it was public, we were all in together. my oldest sister and brother could get a high school education and do fine. they could do fine. and we did not make them pay for it. we did not make them go in debt to get through high school. in the 21st century, you need more skills than high school, everybody does, but we make people pay and it is segregating our society between those who have money and those who don't. i put out last week a big plan for sustainable prosperity in maine and you can find it on my website. jumpstartht ideas to maine. one of them

ag policy in the state has been horrible. we have encouraged people to produce and produce and produce and to their ultimate credit the farmers in wisconsin have done exactly that. now we're in a situation where we have an overabundance. we need a department of agriculture that works to help farmers, not only foreign markets, a limited end on that, but also have to help them diversify making sure they have the opportunities to look at different ways to raise crops, have the university of wisconsin -- >> time's up. >> -- be their partner. >> these are the 30 second responses, and there is not a rebuttal on those. let's go to the question. >> the topic is marijuana. yes, canada just legalized marijuana for adults. in wisconsin, 16 counties have marijuana referendum questions on the ballots. should any of -- [inaudible] -- be legalized in wisconsin? this question is for both of you. >> as a cancer survivor, i absolutely believe that we must have physicians -- physicians must have the ability to use cannabis in treatments. that is

people in the state to trust their government less. a lot of people trust them on the lower scalalower scale and t them less. one of the things i would say about corruption is human nature, one of the things that drives the corruption and it's not fair to blame one party or another. we need to put the blame where it really is. the biggest threat to the future of the state is too much money in little rock and too much power. the committee on spending and taxation at what we are going to do is look at every agency and department. we need to things happening and we need to recommend this to the legislature and then told you what we proposed the state legislature and to make the legislature's past that and pass those cuts so that we can cut the corruption because when you cut the money in little rock and the power, you cut the atmosphere that creates the corruption at the same time, we also need to hold those that have been involved accountable. if you've been involved in bribery, you need to pay the taxpayers back and it doesn't matter to

also the state auditor knows what the job entails. whatever the case may be because this ticket is so strong she has her own following and is going to get the payouts so we go back to the 48 election could come so that we don't b have these silly laws that restrict the rights. these are great leaders who are going to do great things. and then finally you've got to think about the power of a governor as in the state and what the governor has done with that power. we have to make sure -- i am not happy that they agreed but i'm happy that the it read that thet because she's absolutely fabulous. we can get the house back here in iowa i believe. when the presidential's, peru anscumthrough and they want to t down with you and have coffee and you have to do it three or four times before you decide. thanks everybody. [applause] i'm not giving another speech. i'm going to introduce jay inslee right now. when i first came to congress, he was there. he knows a lot about a lot of things. he's an expert on the environment and he will talk about th

both of these programs are run by the state. you don't want that person after 28 days to come off a high. i've seen it and if they get out of there high they're going to go right back in on the street. we need to make sure their treatments continue, medicaid is part of that equation so i would make sure they are taken care of on medicaid. >> we'll have to leave it there. mr. dunleavy. mr. dunlevy: i think the question, please repeat it? >> medicaid funds behavioral health treatment including addiction treatment. it's an optional service. would you commit to maintaining the service? mr. dunlevy: we would continue to take a look at that program to make sure it's being implemented and managed correctly to help the individuals that are utilizing that program. so once again, i have no intention at this time of eliminating any of these programs, managing them better. >> all right, thank you, gentlemen and we do want to ask on the crime topic, do you repeal it completely, do you fix it? mr. dunleavy? mr. dunlevy: i would repeal it. a lo

don't have the money to replace them. many states around 2014 -- 2006, quickly recognize the problem a paperless machines they had. they passed legislation that required counties to either add we call a voter verifiable people auto trail, to the paper machine. a scroll paper. or to switch to optical scan machines. there are states that didn't have the money to do that. but there is one state, georgia, that has the money and simply refused to upgrade to a paper trail or to optical scan machine. >> kim, are you more concerned given your research and writing about this, about the actual voting machine itself or by influenced by let's say the russia? >> i think the russian thread is a red herring. i think we are too focused on that. although we should be think before it because it brought attention back to this problem. it's existed for a decade. in this country, we don't tend to give elections any kind of notice until there is a crisis or until it's election year. so i suppose we should be thankful that they've shut a spotlight on this.

i talk to people across the state. ey're not implementing any of the suggestions in the bill because they don't have the money for it and the state's not giving them money. a good example. we used to have mental health covered by magellan. we paid them 7%. when the governor implemented medicaid privatization, she took out magellan and moved mental health to the private system and 5% more we're paying now and service for mental health people in our was --s worse than it moderator: i'm sorry, we'll have to leave that right there and fromto the next question aaron. didn'td be remiss if we talk about jobs and the economy this morning. mr. hubbell, iowa's unemployment is actually in good shape and continues to decline but havebusinesses they say openings and can't find workers to fill positions. you specific policies would advocate for that would help iowansses and maybe help find better paying jobs than they have? mr. hubbell: that's an important question. i've made it clear from the beginning, i want to build an economy in

now the united states is rerespected. countries may not like what we do, but they respect what we do. amy: surprise announcement, nikki haley resigns as u.s. ambassador to the united nations. ding her tenure at the u.n., the u.s. pulled out of the paris, the court, the iran nuclear deal, and the u.n. human rights council, cut all funding to sanction threatened to judges on the international criminal court. we will speak with columbia university professor or she khalidi on nikki haley's time in ofoffice and what it means for e future of negotiations. we will also speak with the professor about the disappearance of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi, who is believed to have been killed inside t the saudi consulalate n turkey.. then we go to minnesota where a court has acquitted three anti-pipeline activists who broke into an oil pipeline facility intending to cut off ththe flow of tar sandss oil cog into the uniteted states from canada. >> what is lacking is the political will. if we can't get their attention through elections

we are the highest uninsured state in the united states. xas leads the attack on pre-existing conditions. a pre-existing condition is that you are female and can get pregnant. now you are being singled out because you are female. leaving over $10 billion a year on the table by not accepting the medicaid extension. system there was no accountability. there was no measurement, and as you sought time and time in the media, it was profit over pain. friends in an organization. and the vulnerable suffer. we need to accept the medicaid expansion and invest in communities that have become a medical desert. governor abbott, will you stop your attack on pre-existing conditions? >> you have 30 seconds to answer. gov. abbott: let me be clear to the people of texas. under no circumstances will you lose coverage for pre-existing conditions. repeal, congress has make clear that pre-existing conditions are covered. to make surel work pre-existing conditions in texas will be covered. second with medicaid expansion, understand this. [bell] gov. abbott: cannot

it has spread beyond african-americans to the entire state. u u have a situation where in floridida, about 1.7 million people can't vote. this amendment would restore million of those. 500,000 are african-american. the rest are white and latino. i think that is one of the reasons you have seen such a big coalition rally behind this because it is not just african-americans being disenfranchised. a lot of white republican trump supporters cannot vote in florida, either. but the numbers are so staggering. 10% of people in the country's most important swing statate not being able to vote. i think all of the attention on georgia voter suppression is warrananted, but we're talking -- 53,000hrough people. in florida, we're talking about 1.4 million people that mike at the right to vote back. more people right now are disenfranchised in florida than any other state. that is why amendment 4 is so important. juan: could you talk about the movement that is built around it terms of what kind of support it has? it has bipartisan support? >> it is remarkable

right now in the state of florida, teachers make an average salary that's the 45th lowest of all 50 states. if my grandmother was here, she would say it is a crying shame. we deserve to pay our teachers a wage they can live on. miami-dade, the school board is debating whether or not to change the zoning for property on school grounds to create a -- to create affordable housing because teachers can't afford to live in the neighborhood where they work. i wouldn't be here today were it not for miss aubrey, the teachers who poured into me, created an opportunity for me to push past my limits, to become the first of my siblings to graduate from high school and college. they deserve a wage they can live on and when i am governor i'm going to fight for it. todd: i'm going to ask the audience again, i need to hear everything they say, so if you would hold your applause, that would be great. we are talking education. we are also talking charter schools which are important to you. where do you stand? mr. desantis: an true is singing a different tune. he said charter schools would be done. they are p

legislature has determined that prohibits states, of the 31 states that have the death penalty, has prohibited states from carrying out an execution for someone who has a mental illness or who cannot remember the particular facts of the crime. the lower courts are -- are uniform in that respect in addressing competency as well, and the texas brief points that out in regards to competency to stand trial. and we point out in our brief that of the three states that have addressed an issue similar to this, they have all come down on alabama's side, that simply having dementia and not remembering the facts of the crime does not prevent you per se from having a rational understanding. so the final point i would just mention to this court is what, again, what madison seeks is unprecedented. this court has never created a categorical rule excluding someone from capital punishment where at least there was some objective evidence of a national consensus in that direction. here, there is none. and the consequences of such a rule would prevent the state from carrying out an execution on ma

of course, four slave states in the united states or that remain within the united states did not secede with the confederacy maryland, missouri, kentucky and delaware. lincoln has to worry that if he takes too big of an action against slavery or too quick of an action that one or more of the states might secede and join the confederacy. lincoln in kentucky and maryland if they were to go for the confederacy who hugely -- proves challenging. dc woodfall overnight if maryland went into the can -- confederate. it's a significant worry. some of his critics charge she was so worried about being president of kentucky he didn't have time to be a good president of the u.s. so if he so worried about his policies in kentucky for the first couple of years of the war. the border states are concerned for lincoln as well. another factor that precluded some americans from seeing how quickly the union was embracing emancipation was the fact that the policy announced by simon cameron in this correspondence with benjamin butler, that is coming from dc there are union armies in the field spread all over t

hurricane michael is currently smashing into the u.s. state of florida after making landfall a few hours ago a category four storm is the third most powerful to hit the united states since records began in eight hundred fifty one already reports of major property damage and power cuts in the northwest of the state hurricane michael was responsible for thirteen deaths in central america florida's nor the neighboring state of georgia is preparing for the storm to strike in the next twenty four hours when the gallagher is in the coastal city of call a northwest florida which was in the path of hurricane michael and it does seem the that the worst is now over at least for that part of florida tell us a little bit about the impact of hurricane michael where you are. hurricane michel made landfall about four hours ago things got pretty ferocious here as a storm impacted on the florida panhandle four hours later the winds have calmed down the rain is not so bad and this tidal surges and these tidal surge that they've been talking about really are sta

ranked 46th out of all the states. t only that but our gdp growth is ranked, that is for six and economic performance is 43rd. we lost jobs eight of the 12 months last year. we are in a desperate situation were facing a crossroads in wyoming history for for a longe now. we've been writing the highs of the cold market but that's how those days are gone. and so we need fundamental changes to the budget, how we raise money, how boosting the economy. and i don't agree that throwing millions of dollars and hoping it land somewhere as in the case of endowment will solve the problem. we need real solutions to the future of wyoming. >> you think a state income tax is that solution? >> i don't, no. in fact, i pledge not to. >> it's possible we could see another bill in the next legislature giving cities the authority to tax everything that's in addition to the optional sales tax will you sign that bill if it passed the legislature, rex? >> no, no. i do not believe how taxes are the solution here i think the proper role of govern

and then you lost an election as president of the united states. you lost an election in california. and today the republican party and the campaign manager is telling us about a new nixon. what is the difference between the new nixon and the old nixon? [laughter] >> mr. monroe, the new nixon is a little older. [laughter] >> he doesn't have quite as much hair as my wife points out from time to time up here. but on the other hand, i think perhaps the best answer to that question is that when an individual in politics, or in education or in the business of writing for newspapers, when he ceases to grow, when he ceases to change to meet the changing conditions, then you can be sure that he no longer is going to be living with the generation of which he is a part. i would have to say at this point, and i am proud of this, that over the past eight years, i have had a chance to travel through the world. i have had a chance to study the problems of the world, no, sir as a participant, but one sitting on the outside looking at them. i believe i found soluti

he won the state by 20 points. hunting, holding these rallies, thumbing his nose at liberals, talking about the second amendment. this rally tonight was as trumpian as you can get, lawrence. >> and in montana, strong republican state in presidential elections, but it has been sending a democrat to the united states that senate at least one for a very long time, jon tester. maximum back us in the senate a couple decades before democrat, before jon tester. so there is a formula for democrats in montana. >> and, listen, you know, the republicans should be pretty happy with jon tester. he's not the most liberal person in washington d.c.. the problem is for donald trump, again, he doesn't vote like a republican. he may share some of the ideals as the republican party, but he votes like a democrat. and you see the touch stone issue. the thing that people really hit on is this schumer idea. oh, he votes with schumer, right? we heard that out in montana a lot. we heard this idea donald trump is going to have to defend dona

the governor holds the state's highest office. all political power is inherent in the people. >> and it is up to texas -- from the rio grande to the red river.

led the united states to pass the voting rights act of 1965. one of the greatest pieces of legislation ever. because it worked. it worked! whereas, in early 1960, a number of african-americans registered to vote was in the single digits in terms of percentage. by 1967, 68, it was almost 60 percent of african-americans were registered to vote.the voting rights act worked. i may have worked a little too well for some folks. this may be a library that sounded like church. [laughter] and so, by the time we start seeing elections, we start seeing african-americans elected. and then there was that election in 2000. you remember that election. i knew this was church. [laughter] and in the election, we often think about what happened in florida. you know, butterfly ballots, voting machines that can count. but i want to take us to missouri. because there was something that happened there that is affecting us right now. nearly 50,000 voters were purged off the roles by the st. louis board of elections. in st. louis. illegally. purged. they were not notif
