later i took on dan malloy for big changes in this state. it is one of the first time i've had a chance to run against republicans. because bob's tax scheme would offer $1.4 billion tax cuts to the 400 richest families in this state. means higher property taxes for moderator: thank you, mr. lamont. mr. stefan askey. owski. fanowski: we have 19 days. three -- youe c have three people on stage but two choices. they want to drive this government into another term of dan malloy. we need change, lower taxes, smaller government, a focus on taxes and the economy. everyone needsy, to do a little bit more. everyone is a single mom working two jobs to take care of their kids. everyone are the grandparents leaving connecticut because they can't afford to stay here. everyone has done enough. it is time to drive change, to get this economy moving. i'm going to be that agent of change. iebel: let me distinguish my record. worked in thend state of connecticut for 25 years, and have worked for the state of connecticut for 25 years. 25 years we have establis

governor malloy accepted the family. if you were in malloy's position, what would you have done? >> i would have accepted that family. this is a state that welcomes, this is a state with open arms, and this is not a state where trump values, we keep people out, we build up a wall. my way or the highway, that's not the way i would do it at all. as i go around the state of connecticut, there are a lot of people that feel like they don't belong. there are folks who after charlottesville felt that this was a country that didn't understand people like them. it was folks that felt after mothers being torn from their kids, this was a state and country that didn't understand people like them. last week with the kavanaugh hearings, i heard a lot of young women say, this is not a country that understands people like me any longer. i want you to know as governor, i am going to be welcoming. i support strong borders. i support legal immigration, but also respect the diversity which is what makes this state extraordinary. i'm going to be a governor who is welcoming to each of the folks that w

malloy: a fair amount. i'm probably not one of their favorite governors. ,hich i don't mind pointing out with the president has done to our society -- it has not been helpful. racism his sexism, his that sneaks into discussions on the public record are disheartening. it makes it hard to teach children in our schools how to converse appropriately when the president himself does not engage in that kind of rhetoric. having said that, this administration has managed to do some good things that i support those good things. overall, i'm not a supporter of the administration. i think their stance on immigration and refugees has been despicable, if not immoral. i do not hide when i agree with them and i do not hide when i disagree with them. host: the president has labeled connecticut a sanctuary state. is that true? , no, illoy: you know don't think it is true. i think it is one of the misstatements the president has made. tended tonately repeat those misstatements. we have a letter from jeff not ans saying we are

malloy.ou have me has been saying for over a year that we need change, lower taxes, small government, a focus on jobs and the economy. ned likes to say everyone needs to do a little bit more. everyone is a single mom working two jobs to take care of her kids. every one of the grandparents leaving connecticut because they can't afford to stay here. everyone has done enough. it's time to drive change. it's time to get this economy moving. i'm going to be the agent of change. thank you very much. >> moderator: thank you. and mr. griebel, good afternoon. a place to be. let me take a minute to distinguish between what my record is what theirs are. we have no one lived and worked in connecticut for 25 years, we've worked for the state in 25 years and we've got to that as all things we've done and things i've done. over that 25 years with established a reputation for canada, civility, collaboration, inclusion, integrity and for transparency. it's that, those characteristics that are required to dodd

i think governor malloy has a tough job to do. everynot agree with decision, but he had a tough set of cards. mr. corey: i would give governor malloy pretty much an f. one liter is bringing jobs and making the -- leader is bringing jobs in making the economy great. dennis: is connecticut better today than it was 20 years ago? sen. murphy: it is better in the last two years because of the economic growth. even the pension funds are rising. that is a tough question to answer in a lightning round. i think there are a lot of sectors in better shape. we have

i also don't think the early release program by dan malloy is helping. i really don't. 50% of the people released under that program end up back in jail. the mass murder in fwrisswoled was caused by somebody who was released from prison early. i could go on with examples for hours. drug overdoses on the new green haven green was somebody molested 37 times. this always very serious issue, we need to look at it hard and foremost it needs to be the safety of our citizens and children and having proper controls around these things. >> thank you so much. mr. griebel, 90 seconds. mr. griebel: the community police effort, sitting down with police chiefs in the state understanding from their perspective what their needs are. talking with community groups, the lead inners those groups, finding ways to build bridges, using organizations like aclu, taking advantage of projects, things like project longevity to try to reduce some of the violence in the cities. the thing that to me a governor has the most important responsibility for and that is to set the tenor in t

i think governor malloy has a tough job to do. i may not agree with every decision, but he had a tough set of cards. >> i would give governor malloy pretty much an f. you consider two different spectrums of the two leaders. is bringing jobs and making the one -- leader is bringing jobs in making the economy great. >> is connecticut better today than it was 20 years ago? >> it is better in the last two years because of the economic growth. even the pension funds are rising. >> that is a tough question to answer in a lightning round. i think there are a lot of sectors in better shape. we have more manufacturing jobs and there are sectors that have been hurting. i think that is a tough one parent. think our participants. best of luck on election day.

malloy: the most recent news is very positive. rapid earnings growth. -- president trump: thank you very much, everybody. this is a very important day for our country and a lot of ways, but before we begin me another important subject. i want to give an update on the really devastating storm bearing down on florida. it is moving rapidly and at a very high level. summit is saying -- some are saying it is one of the biggest storms to ever hit our country. i've just concluded a briefing with secretary of homeland security and the administrator of fema. we are watching hurricane michael. it is just hitting the shore now. winds are close to 200 miles per hour. you don't hear about that category 4, you don't hear about that. this is the most powerful record storm to start the florida panhandle ever -- to strike the florida panhandle ever. almost 200 mile per hour winds. the storm surges could be up to 15 feet. additional rainfall could also produce flash flooding at the highest levels. we have been a constant indications with governor r

. >> governor malloy, a couple of national issues want to get your take on. let's talk about healthcare. you are sitting there in hartford, home to several large insurance companies what about universal healthcare or expansion of medicaid? what's the status in connecticut? >> well, we were one of the early states to expand medicaid, even before obama care and we were very proud to do that. quite frankly that made us better prepared for obama care when it came about. that's why connecticut led the nation with respect to reducing the uninsured in our state and we're very proud of that accomplishment. we're also proud of the fact that we have bent the curve on medicaid expenditures. we're now spending less per person than we did previously. now albeit we have more people insured under medicaid or obama care, but the reality is is that we've learned the important lessons that pre-care or understanding what one's difficulties are earlier in an illness actually pays in the long run. >> another issue that is being debated and talked about right now in washington is
