very mr people didn't suggest. so you did two or three pm to all of those some may see me because i'm going to end of. people don't like journalists like this you know how many. years it was on this whole these are the numbers is going to be in the as many. different people who are here for different reasons. lost a job. whatever the excuse is they come down here to get themselves a job. i think the fundamental problem that we all face and then whatever situation the pharmacist's alike are felt like a community like a lot like a family a lack of support around you. say listen a lot like a lot of other american cities. and some ways it's so very segregated. got a lot of people that it's not enough to pay for a place to live. or for neighborhoods. all the areas that we go to where a lot of people almost stay. this used to be that they almost can't appear. out of the city the city toward. a few people that have their tents caught on fire and. let's do it. i wish there were a better word. being home us because i think t

yes, we would be eliminating some of those people from their plans but everybody would have coverage. mr. stauber: he just admitted that it will unlimited plans. that is what i just said, it will kick people off their employees health insurance. wenzhou comes up and starts talking about this, he has zero credibility. he brought us the worst health care disaster in the state of minnesota that we are still digging out of. voted to give executives taxpayer-funded bonuses, when the system -- when -- was burning up on the .ebsites were broken mr. radinovich: experts do not agree on those things, pete. mr. stauber: you don't agree on pre-existing conditions? mr. radinovich: your party has what attended your people with pre-existing conditions. your republican governor is trying to ensure that people do not have pre-existing conditions coverage. mr. stauber: you can several hundred thousand people off their insurance when he voted for -- including pre-existing conditions. my wife and i have a son with down syndrome. this is our fourth debate and i have told you all this, i would require insuran

display mr people did a large figure out. there who are three people all of a sudden. because i'm going to end of. this like you know great. business this series all these sort of numbers is going to be in the is very. different people are here for different reasons. lost a job. whatever it is they come down here to get themselves a joke. i think the fundamental problem that we all face and whatever situation the pharmacist alaca felt like a community like a lot like a family a lack of support around you. say listen a lot like a lot of other american cities. in some ways it's still very segregated. got a lot of people that it's not enough a to pay for a place to live. for poor neighborhoods. all the areas that we go to where a lot of people almost stay this used to be if they almost can't appear. out of the city the city toward all that. a few people that have their tents caught on fire and they died. all right. let's do it. i wish there were a better word. than being home us because i think that's not the only problem that some people have. whether you have a home or

that would keep young people here in this state. >> mr. stefanowski? >> his number one priority is wi-fi? you cannot make it up. you know who i was endorsed by? the connecticut association of realtors, 17,000 people. you think they like his property tax plan better than mine? the realtors are the canary in the coal mine. they see the trends first. they want housing prices to go up. they had a debate three weeks ago and interviewed all three of us, look at our tax plans. who did they pick? the guy who will lower taxes and get this economy moving and get the most important assets that most of the people watching the show right now -- home values to start to appreciate. >> mr. stefanowski, we will stay with you. >> let me take a deep breath. >> take your time. >> elections are about contrast. oz things we should continue to run connecticut like a government and not have any state fiscal discipline like you use in a business. you have contrast in backgrounds. i wasn't born with a silver spoon. i was born in new haven and i went to a public school. i've run

mr. casteel: people on boards and commissions to not care -- mr. edmondson: i am not saying i am sayingcare, that fairly obviously there has been a breach in the duty to monitor the activities, for instance, of the health department. i wentveral years ago, into the health department and prosecute those employees. i prosecuted carol fisher, who was head of the insurance democrat,, unelected pen and out to the of office, so it is not impossible to monitor what happens is they agencies. n myuld need more eyes that own two, and i would want members of boards and commissions to aggressively fulfill their fiduciary duties toward those agencies. mr. casteel: as a former district attorney and former attorney general, you are an expert on the justice system. you want to reduce the incarceration rate immediately. mr. edmondson: immediately, number one, you take people who are serving time for something that is no longer a felony, for example, a simple possession of drugs, and asked the parole board to send the governor those names. [laughter] [applause] mr.

what side of the fence would you be on in terms of people scared about being deported? mr. lamont: i would err on the side of being generous. these are people who are fleeing persecution, they are fleeing warfare. this is what not people abusing our country has meant all along. the system, they are fleeing for their lives. i would be welcoming. these poor folks, they guy in the church in new haven, hasn't been able to see his child in quite some time right now. a hispanic individual fearful that he is going to be deported. i think this is a state that is welcoming. we honor the rule of law but a state that is welcoming. >> i would repeat what i said a minute ago. everybody in this country is entitled to protection under the rule of law. ensuring there is adequate legal protection for anyone in a deportation matter is critical. this issue of being humane is at the heart of this state. yes, i understand we have to cooperate with the federal government, but the notion of making sure that people are treated humanely and have the protection of law to me are the key how to do with

mr. molinaro: because of a decrease in population i upstate, we have left people -- and less people. mrs. kramer: time is running out, we are going to what we call our lightning round or a short answers. gov. cuomo: short answers, we are good at that. mrs. kramer: if you on the lottery, what is the first thing you would buy? one word. gov. cuomo: trust fund for my kids. mr. molinaro: children's education. mrs. kramer: upstate are downstate -- or downstate? mr. molinaro: it is where upstate meets downstate. mrs. kramer: good answer. [laughter] your ideal room temperature? gov. cuomo: 69 degrees. mrs. kramer: how about you, the state of the state? mr. molinaro: 60 degrees and i would deliver in the chamber. gov. cuomo: right back in the legislature. mrs. kramer: besides italian sausage, what do you like? gov. cuomo: i like kill , but i do prefer italian sausage and i prefer my grandmother. mr. molinaro: a sausage question, i was loved my grandmother's italian sausage. mrs. kramer: what song personifies you or your campaign and can you sing? gov. cuomo: empire state of mind. i am not sin

mr. people come to this said we have more money than anybody else by far we'll build it up. in the stories that shape the way president trump threatens a new arms race with china and russia are seen looks to pull out of a major cold war nuclear agreement causing further divisions with his e.u. partners. a gunman first into a synagogue in the us state of pennsylvania shooting dead at eleven people i'm.

your republican governor is trying to ensure that people do not have pre-existing conditions coverage. mr. stauber: you kicked several hundred thousand people off their insurance when he voted for mnsure including pre-existing conditions. my wife and i have a 16-year-old son with down syndrome. this is our fourth debate and i have told the joe this. i would require insurance companies to cover the existing -- pre-existing conditions. my son is boring -- born with two of them. i have a nephew at age 2 who was diagnosed with type one diabetes through no fault of his own. why should he suffer the rest of his life? so joe continues to propel the myth that pete stauber does not support pre-existing conditions and i do. mr. radinovich: an association for advocates for those with down syndrome came out against the republican health-care plan, because it would endanger people with pre-existing conditions making their health care unaffordable and unattainable. we can sit here and talk, but the reality and the facts on the ground are that the president's own administration is expanding waivers for

this people need to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. mr. trauner: the incendiary rhetoric is not great for our country. we do a lot of stuff on social media. it's incredible, the personal attacks we see out there. people who i know, political pundits want to use fear and division because it pays their bills and we need to work on and change that. we need to make sure we've got people running for office and elected to office who are willing to do the right thing for the country, instead of party. george washington, in his farewell address in 1796, his biggest fear was putting party before country would corrupt our system. and we have that in d.c. today. sen. barrasso: gary talked about, my opponent talked about social media. i stay off social media, because of the kind of attacks that are out there. most senators i talked to try to avoid it because of the attacks that are so personal. this next question is for mr. trauner. kristin: this question is from a sheridan college student. most higher education costs and ordnance amounts of money and

when people like mr.an talk about the genius of the markets and the lessons of the markets, usually what they are talking about is more tax breaks for billionaires. trump's tax proposal, which i voted against, provided 83% of the benefits to the top 1%, is going to increase the deficit by about $1.5 trillion, and then what mitch mcconnell and mr. has driven upo the deficit and come back and cut medicare, medicaid, and social security. mr. zupan, my question is, would so, you support cuts to social security, medicare, or medicaid? i would not support cuts to them but what i would , support is something you have ignored while championing those programs. you have systematically ignored the $160 billion a year of medicare fraud, abuse, and corruption. so right there we could have paid for college education of every college-aged kid for a year, so what i say -- and that is emblematic, unfortunately, of big government systems. ,look. some big government systems may be necessary. some of them may even do more go

wolf: a lot of people -- mr. wagner: a lot of people. a great story just came out in the philadelphia magazine about the drop program. there are councilmen and women in the city of philadelphia that can resign their position two days before the election and enjoy a 500,000 or pension cash windfall, and then be sworn back in. corruption has a lot to be with funding not getting where it needs to go. [applause] alex: we only have about one minute to go. only enough time to talk about one tax you have been proposing for the past three years. that is a severance tax on natural gas. pennsylvania, the only major producing state that does not have a severance tax. why haven't you been able to get that tax put into effect? gov. wolf: we actually got it past the senate two years ago. i'm not sure why it did not get past the house. i will keep proposing it and looking for people to support it. we are the only major natural gas producing state without a severance tax. texas, louisiana, alaska, oklahoma, they all have it, but we do not. alex: the sev

mr. president, the people in your administration, rod rosenstein, will not show up on capitol hill to -- because congress -- >> i was surprised at that. actually, i was surprised at that. i would think he would. he mentioned certain things to me that, you know, are very positive about that event, and i would imagine that you'd want to put that down and, frankly, whether you were under oath or not shouldn't matter. but he mentioned things to me that i would think would be fine for him to testify. and so, you know, when congress calls. so i would -- i'm a little

mr. feehan: yes. the people paid more for care that they have based on their conditions right now. mr. hagedorn: you think they are paying less now then with obamacare? mr. feehan: you talked about the cost of everything -- why do we accept that? mr. hagedorn: if you think things are better for minnesotans after obamacare, you really need to get around. every -- talk to mr. feehan: everyone i talked to want affordable health care. are costs we are going to end up paying in the first place. there are hundreds of millions all i want ton -- do is make sure it is as affordable as it can be. mr. hagedorn: and the people who are on private insurance are essentially paying for the people who are on government insurance. government insurance will reimburse hospitals and doctors with $.40 or $.50 on the dollar. if you expand that, you're taking money out of the system. if you think that works, go to canada, great britain, and germany and ask those people if it is working for them. moderator: a listener asked a question about the tax bill that passed last year. if you were in congress, would you

my view, the people of massachusetts did not send me to washington to work for big drug companies. mr. diehl: the people of massachusetts need health care solutions like ending cancer. sen. warren: like you want to be the last vote to repeal health care. john: go ahead. we will take a break. take a few seconds. mr. diehl: right. this bill, despite the fact that pharmaceutical companies are being given funds to try to end cancer, you voted against it. yes, pharmaceutical companies need to be held accountable for their pricing. when our country was experiencing polio, did we say, pharmaceutical companies will make too much money, let's end this disease, let's cure this now. that's the decision this bill was trying to do. and a disease. the funding was 5 -- was a vital part of this. sen. warren: i will be clear on this. this is what it means to have donald trump back and the backs of the big businesses. mr. diehl: this is about massachusetts and not the president. sen. warren: my point now. i did not interrupt you. my point is donald trump, the guy you said i will have his back 100% of t

people like going to work. work is like "the office." we do have a few yucks. mr. brooks: a little data that reinforces your point, most people think they enjoy their jobs but assume most other people don't. the truth is 89% of americans like or love their jobs, and it does not depend on college or income. disrespectful is to say that poor people's work is somehow a punishment, jump jobs. the first wrong of a ladder is still part of the latter. mr. dimon: you know the what is the best job training for these young kids? the military. they shape them, teach them teamwork, communications. when they get out, they are proud and they know what to do. you know what does the second-best job? mcdonald's. same thing. they have that great commercial on tv now. if you hear me -- the best for his job -- the best first job. it could be. mr. brooks: i like this shaving part. we are going to start that at aei. i hired a barber. when we talk about the military were mcdonald's, and you are talking a lot about skills. you are passionate about this. vocational, technical education, may

if more of these people had medicaid to pay their bills? mr. stitt: if we expand medicaid, we will increase the number of people on medicaid and we cannot do that. i believe in a trampoline, something that will help people. we cannot create a hammock and create more dependency on our state. that will be a tremendous detriment in the future. chris: the steak cut funding for the oklahoma department by 52.6 million over the last four years. an additional loss of 84 million in funds. these cuts have had many ramifications. what promise we make to oklahoma about restoring funding? what will you try to do? mr. stitt: we need those federal dollars. if we are missing 56 -- what did you say? chris: it led to the loss of 84 million. mr. stitt: we are going to have a billion dollars more in revenue next year. we have to run agencies efficiently. mental health is a huge problem. it is prowling our presence. we had create better treatment centers for mental illness. chris: mr. edmundson? mr. edmundson: not just restore the funding. i think we need a proposal

mr. trump. there should only be healthcare for rich people. he voted against the healthcare exchange when he was in new york state legislature which ensures four million new yorkers. donald trump just said he wants to allow the disallowance of pre-existing conditions and end the funding for the affordable care act under obama. they think if you're rich, you should be able to have healthcare. if you're poor, good luck. don't get sick. marcia: your time is up. rich? mr. molinaro: i'd like 15 seconds. marcia: you have it. mr. molinaro: i grew up on food stamps, sir. my mother struggled hard and i know exactly what it's like to wait in line for medicaid services. gov. cuomo: you remember what it is like. mr. molinaro: i have senior -- i am committed to expanding services and always have. expand medicaid? i'm going to write that down, that is news. mr. molinaro: i would absolutely do more to ensure that the system more effectively assists those who are struggling and who are poor because i remember where i come from. i worked hard to get to this pl

mr. macarthur: you continue to say things like that that we know are dishonest. things like pre-existing conditions, you know our bill specifically protects people pre-existing conditionstalked about the age tax, you know that has been debunked. moderator: we will get into a deeper discussion about that. mr. macarthur: you cannot just keep saying dishonest things because it plays well. moderator: all right, let us talk about that when we get to that. we move on to immigration. a caravan of several thousand migrants approaches the new york-mexico -- is approaching the u.s.-mexico border. president has suggested that middle eastern people has -- have infiltrated the caravan and he threatened to send 15,000 active-duty military personnel to the area. is this an appropriate response? mr. kim: i worked in a situation the times bash, when discussion about troop deployment is being made, and it was an important and so liberal for the commander-in-chief to think about, what would be irresponsible use of our force.y not only in terms of where they were going, but in terms of military preparedness and the ability to be immature to respond elsewhere. when i look at what is happen

mr. cisneros: i think i can be that person. when i'm out talking to people in the district, they are worried. the tax bill the republicans passed is hurting california. ms. kim: but it is helping turn the economy around. the economy is strong. mr. cisneros: the economy has been growing over eight plus years, it has been on an upper trend. ms. kim: we are looking at the lowest unemployment rate in almost 50 years. the unemployment rate is at the il, 3.6%. we haven't seen this in the last 49 years. mr. cisneros: the truth is, this tax bill has added $1.5 trillion to the deficit. republicans have said they are going after social security and and medicare -- social security and medicare in order to make up that difference. ms. kim: i disagree with that. social security and medicare is something that the people paid into. we have an obligation to make sure it is solvent and it's there for the people that are nearing or at retirement. you are telling me i will take away those things and it is untrue. you and i never had a conversation. i will protect social securi

most people i talk to across maryland that i have traveled severales -- traveled thousand miles, and actually won a primary, as opposed to mrsimon, is to actually talk to people. and they don't really care about donald trump. they don't care about the partisan circus in washington. they are trying to live a good life, raise their children, and do the things they need to do just to get back. so when you are bombarded with thees from cnn or fox news, media itself has led to this disgusting level of hyper partisanship. i think we need leaders who are going to be better than that. jennifer: mr. simon. vote for: i didn't president trump and i'm against most of what he has done. my biggest concern is the impact that he and other political leaders are going to have on the generation -- on the next generation. we have a generation of children growing up watching leaders who people, wholittle attacked the press, who bully. when i grew up, my presidents were jimmy carter and ronald reagan, there he different politically, but we believed they were good people trying to do good for the american public. and it saddens me that we have a

people. that's what i'm here to do. >> 45 seconds. mr. faso: this is so disingenuous by my opponent. he receives millions of dollars from people who have no interest in the 19th congressional district. mr. delgado: people. mr. faso: he just moved into the district. he bought a house last year, i'm -- unpacked his bags, registered to vote, and the next day, signed up to run for congress. to hear him talk about outside money -- the outside money is coming to him. the fact is he worked for one of the biggest corporate law firms in the nation and he has a lot of money from people. the fact is corporations are -- it is illegal for a corporation to donate since 1907. if local people, like realtors or people involved in the looker -- local economy contribute to me through a corporate pac, that's ok. >> we have time for one more question. karen dewitt. >> my question is to congressman faso, but i think this is a question you can both agree on. there is a huge political divide in our country. you mentioned lack of consensus. we heard you sparring and trading accusations, though you have been m

mr. block is showing is that while bush is denying his involvement in the scandal, the testimony of the people who were the principal players in the arms for hostages are going to ensnare him anyway. and mr. block really liked to draw that president bush with rather large lips. because of course he always was saying to people, read my lips. next we have bill clinton. in aere he is shown masterful attempt at tight rope rocking -- tightrope walking, trying to move a budget forward and keep the monica lewinsky scandal at bay. ms. lewinsky is not labeled ms. lewinsky, and that may be lost to people who look at the cartoon in the sands of time, but we know that was his intention. and anybody who opened the "post" that day knew that that's exactly what bill clinton was trying to balance. mr. block did not work long into george w. bush's presidency. he was too ill during 9/11 to do anything about that. even though apparently people were going to his hospital bedside and encouraging him and saying that they needed his voice. he died in october of 2001. what he did note about george w. bush was an assu

grechen shirley: this tax bill gave 80% of the benefit to 1% of people in this country. mr. king said he was in basic agreement with the tax bill, he said nothing wrong with cutting taxes on the healthy. the reality is, when you cut taxes on top 1% of people in the country, we have less to invest in health care and infrastructure, now the republicans are coming after medicaid and medicare and social security. reality is when mr. king voted to repeal the aca, he did vote to cut medicaid and medicare. in 1995, supported privatizing social security. social security is not entitlement, it is earned benefit. every single one of you pays into social security. since first job you got maybe in high school, you have been paying into social security. to think that our government wants to come after your social security, it is investment you made in yourself because they want to pay for tax cut and top 1%. when you have tax cuts on corporation, per minute tax cuts on corporation, more money in hand of corporate executives. they go out and buy yachts. real tax cuts for working americans,

there are things retro do to help the american people live better and healthier lives, and .t will continue to do that mrtrauner: people are angry because things generally aren't working for them. for the regular, hard-working person. it is because the people who run our country right now have two goals, they want to redistribute wealth upwards to large corporations and wealthy billionaires, and they want to re-push and push risk downward. so if you are responsible for health care, student loans, no fixed pensions, and ripping up the safety net, a recipe for disaster. we need to make sure career politicians and political opponents who went to scare and divide us don't get away with it. it keeps them in power, it works for them, and we need to make sure that going forward, we tell people what we are for, we put country before party and we get division this fear and and rhetoric and name-calling and some of the things that our moderators have talked about tonight, because it is ripping our country apart. sen. barrasso: british division of what was actually president obama's call for america and he spoke --

mr. desantis, there's a caravan of people coming to the u.s. seeking asylum. you're on record saying you don't approve of the family separation policy. what would you do as governor if the policy continues. mr. desantis: andrew says there's no sanctuary cities in florida, but that won't be true when he's gnchor. he said he won't cooperate with donald trump's i.c.e. he's he hates trump so much, if we have a criminal ill lell and there's an i.c.e. detainer on that individual to get them in federal custody and send them home he went commit to cooperating. i'll qupt, i'll get that criminal out of our state and country. why would you allow your dislike for the president to knowingly put communities at risk? mothers who may have their son sons or daughters harmed by somebody? that is just wrong. we have to protect floridians first. todd: to be clear that was a question for you, i gave you more time, however, mr. gillum, 30 seconds for rebuttal? mr. gillum: mr. desantis has far too many degrees not to get it but yet again tonight he show he is doesn't get it. under no

what i have tried to promote values to washington, i very humbly ask the people of vermont to allow me to serve another term. mr. zupan: thank you and thank everybody here who is part of the infrastructure of this program. at the prospect an opportunity to serve the people of the state of vermont. our system of free enterprise in theught more success shortest amount of time by feeding, housing, and clothing with freedom more people in the history of the world. the people of vermont have been an important part of the backbone of our nation and the principles of independence and self care and taking care of one's neighbor have always been part and parcel of our greatness. this is a system which is on the threshold right now of breaking out into a golden age of renaissance. instead of what senator sanders wants to offer us is a system of top-down government controlled with the government exercising its right to tell us everything we can have and should do. i ask that we reinvigorate in this digital golden age of vermont's renaissance the principles that made record crate in the first place. i would be honored to h

can you really deliver to the people of florida when you say, i want to expand medicaid to these people? mr. gillum: we should begin by saying the senate actually passed medicaid expansion by 39-1 under republican leadership. we deserve to expand medicaid and offer access to health care for 800,000 of the most needy people in our state. if we do that, we will pull down $6 billion from the federal government that will go in the health-care system of the state we can hire more doctors, nurses, health care workers. this means something to me. for member having to wait the free dental clinic to come to my neighborhood to have my teeth cleaned. i would expect the elected representatives in the house and senate would do the work of the people of the state. suspend the philosophical differences and act on their behalf. my opponent voted a dozen times to repeal the affordable care act. he told a cancer patient, when concerned about access to health care, to go to the emergency room. he said he would allow insurance companies to discriminate based on pre-existing conditions. todd: u.s. census report

mr. ellison: i just urge people to listen to the quote. you can listen to mr. wardlow's voice saying, right off the bat, he is going to fire 42 democrats and replace them with republicans, but that's not all. he also said that he was going to implement trump's agenda if he gets in, that is also something he said. he also said he would use the office to change the complexion of the states for republicans. time after time he has been the one accusing me of what he is doing, which is politicize in the office. memberntire history as a of congress, i have never asked anyone what their political affiliation was. i would be glad to hire it a republican or independent who is willing to throw down and fight hard every single day for minnesotans. i believe it is inappropriate to pledge a political purge and then not even stand by what you said in this state wide audience. this has been the cornerstone of his campaign that he is a political, and yet he says he is going to do a political purge. listen for yourself. debbie: i never said anything about doing a political purg

people on the terrorist watch list get guns. even domestic abusers. i approve this message. how about you? moderator: ok. what is behind that? mr. phillips: i believe representation begins with listening, and i have done that for 18 months, driving my old truck around the district and i listened to people. the most common complaint and conversation i have with people is the lack of congressman paulsen's accessibility. he had not had a town hall meeting in seven years until this very campaign. he does not appear in public. this is one of only three debates, closed environments, not willing to get in front of people. i think it's a core responsibility and duty of members of congress and candidates to spend as much time in front of people as possible. the fact that the voters have not had one opportunity to see congressman paulsen and me side-by-side, being asked questions by people who wish to hear from us from is a dereliction of duty. mr. paulsen: number one, we are at a debate right now. we have offered three debates that your site has not accepted. mr. phillips: come on. mr. paulsen: everyone in the district knows i am accessib

say you went further, you were calling for a mandatory death penalty for people who kill students or adults on school property. mr. wagner: absolutely. i'm going to stand up for innocent people. to think that teachers and students can be in a school and be executed and killed senselessly, no. you need somebody that's going to stand up. alex: ok, i have two problems with that. you are, i'm sure, influenced by the parkland shooting in florida, where 14 students and three teachers were killed here , and my correct? -- am i correct? mr. wagner: we have seen many incidents. alex: six months before parkland, less than 200 miles away, a man walked into a gay nightclub in orlando and killed 49 people. six months after parkland, another lunatic in las vegas shot up an outdoor concert, killed 58 people. mr. wagner: and they should get death. alex: but you did not call for that at the time. you restricted it to school shootings. now, justice has to be applied equally. that is one of my concerns. the other concern -- i'm not an attorney, but i know that in 1976 in the supreme court, woodson versus north carolina, the supreme

mr. edwards wants to "lean people of social security." it should be there for individuals when they retire so they can live with independence. we can work to fix the program, but not fundamentally change it. mr. edwards: chris understands what i meant, and he keeps repeating the same untruths. . he is not interested in having a conversation. he is interested in sticking to his talking points. we need leadership, not political talking points. moderator: another question on police tactics. pervasiveness the of video recordings between interactions -- recordings of interactions between police and the community. for congressle that they can play to provide resources to local police departments? do you think there is a role there? role ands: there is a the federal government place it now. in making sure that our new hampshire law enforcement has the resources they need to be able to do their jobs. we have a great model in new hampshire. i support our law enforcement here. to the extent i can advocate for grants, i will do that. >> you have said

people that work at the v.a. unfortunately, the accountability act, that mr. rothfus mentioned, has operated to go after a lot of low level people who i do not think are primarily responsible for the problems that we've had. the problems have been at the top. and there are a lot of unfilled leadership posts at the v.a. both parties in congress are frustrated by that. and we're trying to do what we can to fill them. i do agree with mr. rothfus that the mission act was a good thing. that allows veterans to get care outside of the v.a. system when it's more convenient for them to do so and their doctor thinks it's a good idea and that will take us a few years to make sure we get that right. moderator: our next question from terrie for mr. lamb. >> mr. lamb, there's a national movement to advocate for bail reform. several studies have concluded that the bail system in the united states negatively affects people of color. in philadelphia, district attorney larry krasner announced his office will no longer seek monetary bail for a host of misdemeanors in nonviolent f

i love traveling the state and talking to people. mr. brubaker: we have internet and skype and messenger. should beesentative open to their entire communities and entire state, all the different organizations, every night they have a meeting. whenever their schedules are agreed with. dr. cummings: my first campaigning years ago floundering when i spent too much time in a parade cannot town meeting and how might. -- and the like. my campaigns have been more successful with a more contact and in groups. mostcheney: one of the special and unique things about our state is the fact that people really have the opportunity to meet face-to-face with elected officials at forums like this and also one-on-one and in small groups. i have had an opportunity to participate in all those kind of activities and look forward to continuing. >> next question for mr. brubaker. >> saudi arabia. my son-in-law was born over there. i think we need to get out. it should be private enterprise on the oil. i do not think we should be in the middle east as a governme

people? moderator: mr. rammell? mr. rammell: i do not support any legislation furthering antidiscrimination efforts. i believe there are some things that you just really cannot legislate. moral issues are really hard to legislate. if there is a problem -- which i'm not aware of, really, not in my world -- i think it is more of an education issue, respect issue, a cultural issue. i think most people in wyoming respect everybody. there are probably isolated cases, but not enough to make a big deal out of it, make a bunch of laws. moderator: mr. struempf? mr. struempf: thank you. i feel we could use more enforcement in that area. matthew shepard, and i knew some of his friends, and whenever they wanted to do they shouldn't have to worry about their health or safety because they have different views than others. ms. throne: you're with me. absolutely i support a non-discriminate law. i supported it in the house. it passed the senate 26-4. this is something with main stream support in wyoming and the business community suppo

people. systematic mr. president, any war on women this week -- and this sad story has been perpetrated on dr. ford by senate democrats. she wanted this to be confidential. and this body could have done that. they could have done all the investigation confidentially. without dragging her name through the media or judge kavanaugh. you know -- some people on the senate side democratic side of the senate want america to believe this is a simple case of he said, she said, and it comes down to who do you believe. it's a lot more than that. it's not only he said, she said, but it's a they said. the accuser in this case, named three people who saidwit corroborate her story. they did not corroborate her story they corroborated his story. senator democrats were not satisfied with that. they weren't satisfied that when the letter was leaked to the press, wasn't given to the committee, leaked to the press some six weeks after it was received by senate democrats, six weeks, an investigation was started immediately mr.

mr. baker: >> i understand that. >> so some people thought ok. mr. baker: i'll think they should have destroyed them, but i don't think they were part of the investigation. >> you have asked that the state police colonel the fired by the governor. what else should the government be doing about the state police? mr. gonzalez: what you were just talking about, it was an attempted cover-up for personal records, attendance records. these are the very issues that go to the heart of the criminal activity and corruption at the state police. it has been going on on governor baker's watch. people who are indicted, people who pled guilty to criminal activity during his tenure. the first incident was reported 19 months ago, and they are just hiring someone to come in and look at payroll and personnel practices? when are you going to take charge? you haven't fired a single person at the state police. gov. baker: even if we replace the leadership team -- look, the most important thing about this, an investigation starts, then you do the hard work associated with

mr. silfies: that's why we should have regular people like us. host: gotcha. mr.ilfies: what is so wrong with that? mr. nothstein: i'm the only candidate that has taken a term limit pledge. i put a personal turn limit on myself. i signed a pledge. i will not take a government-funded pension as well. i agree, you're supposed to serve your people, your constituents, and then come back home and work again. say,ild: if i just may bipartisanship requires skill, it requires compromise and negotiation. these are skills i have honed over 30 years as an attorney. my job has been to resolve disputes between people. i've had to work with a lot of very difficult people, and my job has been for my client to bring about a resolution that is a good one for them, but in order to do that, you have to have the other side feel like they were also able to get something out of it. i feel those are skills that are essential in washington. [applause] host: very good, thank you. we have a lot of attorneys and lawyers in washington right now. it hasn't really been working, in my opinion.

mr deputy speaker, the british people put their faith mr deputy speaker, the british people put theirfaith put their faith in us to do the job, and today we repay that trust, with a budget that paves the way for a brighter future. let trust, with a budget that paves the way for a brighterfuture. let me be clear why. the tough decisions of the past eight years were not driven by ideology... mr deputy speaker, they were not driven by ideology, they were not driven by ideology, they were not driven by ideology, they were driven, they were driven by necessity, and by the failure of the party opposite in government, which led to our deficit soaring to a post—war record and our economy suffering the deepest recession since the second world war, that mr deputy speaker, was our inheritance, as ever, we did what needed to be done. is now we have reached a defining moment on this long hard journey, opening a new chapter, in our country's economic history, where we can look confidently to the future, and set our course for where this remarkable country will go next. because today, mr deputy speaker,

the single market in exchange for making financial contributions and accepting free movement of people. mrslowing norway's example would not bring the outcome people voted for in the eu referendum. 0ur political correspondent ben wright has more from oslo. well, theresa may came to an already wintry oslo for a meeting of the northern future forum, an informal gathering of leaders from the baltic countries and also scandinavia. nothing is really decided here. it is just a chance to swap ideas. they wanted to hear about brexit, of course. theresa may made it clear she wants to see a continued close relationship between the uk and these countries after brexit. during the press conference she completely ruled out a second referendum and she completely ruled out another general election, but one issue she was asked about too is this idea that, if she can't get a deal with the eu of the sort that she wants, maybe the uk could end up having a relationship with the eu like norway currently does, the norway model. many tory mps are now talking about this in westminster as a way of perhaps breaking t

how should people decide to send you back to washington? mr. menendez: the reality is i understand there are people in our state who are disappointed. i apologize to them. i also want to them to look at my totality of service of standing up for people of new jersey. because of my work new jersians , one million have health insurance that didn't have them carried 3.8 million new jerseyans can no longer be discriminated against because of preexisting. in the state that has highest rate of autism, i passed a law in a bipartisan way, the autism cares legislation, that helps individuals with autism. i want everybody on the autism spectrum to fulfill their potential. i say that after superstorm sandy, the worst national disaster in the state's history. i put billions of dollars back. when people like doug quinn were ultimately told by the government know, you are not going to get paid, i went to bat for him and got his money. that's the type of fight i've been in for new jersey. >> mr. hugin. mr. hugin: let's be clear, violated federal law, abused the

mr. obama: we can tip the balance of power back to you, the american people. because ultimately there is only one real check on abuses of power, only one real check on bad policy, and that is you and your vote. you. [cheers and applause] mr. obama: the great thing in nevada, you do not have to wait two weeks. you can go ahead and vote right now. [cheers and applause] mr. obama: in nevada, early voting is already underway. you can vote at any early voting site in your community. you do not know where that is, nvdems.com and find out where you can vote. there is no reason to over complicate stuff. sometimes i think democrats do, they are analyzing stuff. just vote. if you do not think it is important to vote, look at what the republicans have done these past two years. look at what they're saying they're going to do if you send more.ack to do here is one simple fact, this is a fact. unlike some, i try to state facts. i believe in facts. [cheers and applause] mr. obama: i believe in a fact-based reality. and a fact-based politics. i do not believe in making stuff
