kevin of central ohio, thomas rom central ohio, glenn from howard ohio, and roy of central ohio, all of them say they are very concerned about the tone of public discourse. here is how glenn fisher put it. there seems to be a growing level of destructive, negative discourse around the political arena that is growing more vicious and less decent. -- and less based in fact. each election appears to reach a lower level. we all need each other for democracy and our economy to work. if elected, how do you plan to end the fence? mr. cordray:everyone who raised this issue is on the mark and a lot of it and a lot of the divisiveness nd scapegoating is coming from washington. i want to stand for something different in ohio. i went to stand for politics we can respect and be proud of. i want to stand for being able to reach across the aisle and get things done and by the way, i am increasingly optimistic that we can read across the aisle and i can work with legislatures on education. i would like to work with them on criminal justice reform, i would like to have some path forward rather than a

for ohio.ext 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 elected governor what will you do to change employers mind to get more people hired? you already see some change their mind because the fact they can't find people. that the governor has to lead. the governor needs to be holding up programs in the state of ohio where businesses have started and everyone in there is an ex- felon. everyone has been a convicted felon. we have other busines businesses expanding so we need to talk about that. they need to use the bully pulpit of the office of the governor to do that. we have had some reforms to the legislature has passed in the last few years in regards to t

that's not ohio and not ohio values. here's what i promise you. will work every day to make sure that i make ohio first. i want to be able to grow this economy. i want to continue to make ohio jobs prosper just like they're doing now. 4.3% growth. we need somebody in the senate that's not going to love going to washington and being with chuck schumer so much, now i even learned in ohio, that he's going to vote for the people in ohio. he tried to bankrupt the coal industry. he voted for sanctuary cities. these are all things that ohioans don't support. in november, i ask for your vote and your support. i thank you for holding this event. [applause] russ: congressman renacci and senator sherrod brown, thank you both for participating tonight. you can applaud now if you'd like. [applause] russ: you have been watching the ohio u.s. senate debate brought to you by the ohio debate commission. on the behalf of my colleague it is been a pleasure working with you. we would like to thank our studio audience who for the most part behaved tonight and everyone

about twou will hear visions from ohio. my vision is for ohio first. my vision is to continue to grow our economy. is senator's vision washington first. creating one job for himself and thatg washington so much he forgot about the people of ohio. >> with that, let's begin. senator brown first question for you. cleveland is on the rise with things happening and some of the best people you'll meet. but it is also a city with a problem. as we speak, there are 100 this year.the city fifth year in a row. we crossed that mark. senator brown, what can you do help this city and others across the state to become a safer place to live and work? >> connie aand i live in this city. we love this city. we see the city of cleveland making a comeback. also, though, know we have a state government that is pull of our city, is not invested in our streets and highways and is not invested in police. one of the reasons that police reasons one of the police have endorsed me is support for law enforcement but also my support for going after the root causes of crime. know tha

that's too extreme for ohio.s legislation passed 21 restrictions on a woman's right to choose in the last seven years, and mike dewine has chew let them all the different of all the ones where you and i into that they attorneys fees to the party out of taxpayer monies. i will tell the legislature don't bring those bills to my desk because i will be till then. he has that he will sign heartbeat bill. that will set back the business climate in the state because too extreme. john kasich vetoed it mike dewine said he will sign it. a woman's right to choose is something, to make their own health decision something we should be protecting and i will protect it. let me say what else, if we get this out of the way this obsessive manic obsession with defunding planned parenthood, take away healthcare and restrictions on abortion, we can make progress on maternal health issues, prenatal care, postnatal care, infant mortality which we know is a crisis, particularly in the african-american community. the legislature has done

that's what i stand with ohio first and ohio and spewed i also's -- ohioians. if you eliminate coal, as the senator would like to do -- and you talk about money, he has collected so much money from the special interest climate control that he is probably forgetting about the people of ohio. we cannot allow our cost of energy to go up by eliminating some of the assets we have, which is clean coal, clean natural gas, and clean opportunities for jobs in ohio. do i believe we need to make sure we protect our environment? absolutely. do i believe we need to make sure we are protecting ohio and the cost of electricity? absolutely as well. ohios why i stand with first. sen. brown: i am proud that ohio has all of the above. my made ineled in seeno union made jeep and wind turbines. we have one of the greatest solar centers in toledo. we really do have all of the above. but here is the thing, your question, connected to mr. allen's question about the dark money. brothers,s, the koch a huge behemoth corporation, mostly in energy companies, owns the republican party lock

ohio coal industry. look, 2016 was a referendum in a fight hillary clinton lost.wa senator brown said he was so sorry to see that happen. well, i think ohioans have understood that the same doing the same thing over and over again electing the same people over and over again doesn't really mean the senators representing ojai was but i'll always support ohio first and ohioans. moderator: senator. >> i see a congress that you can use to weigh in on the side of corporations over workers and wall street over consumers. whether it's the spring court nomination or whether the senate leadership which wrote a tax bill that overwhelmingly gave the special interest all this money or whether energy policy or whether it is healthcare legislation. john companies get away with murder in the state frankly with the prices they charge and whether it is -- prescription drug consumers financial services consumers. the government has sold them o out. moderator: that was our final panel discussion. we "the same as now with c

in conjunction with our studio host, debbie osu media, the ohio -- wosu media, the ohio debate commission, and broadcast partners across ohio, we are pleased to bring you this important political conversation. we are coming to you from the faucet center on the campus of ohio state university. no studio audience tonight, just the candidates and our journalists. mike thompson is a public affairs director at wosu. mike jackson is an anchor. joining our panalists are the candidates. senator sherrod brown has served in the u.s. senate since 2006, and jim renacci represents ohio's 16th congressional district. we welcome both of you. the candidates have agreed tonight to alternating questions. 90 seconds for an answer, 60 seconds for a response, and then a 32nd rebuttal. each will also get a 30 second opening statement. sen. brown: thank you to all of you on the panel. special thanks especially to the voters watching tonight. we are joined by my wife and daughter. i am hopeful the debate will focus on issues, we will stay on issues, and we can discuss especially as a senator, what to do for ohio

that does not represent ohio. he supports sanctuary cities. that does not represent ohio. he votes for partial-birth abortions. ohioans do not believe in that. in 2016, he supported hillary clinton, who wanted to bankrupt the coal industry. as your senator, i will always think of ohio first. i will make sure i get up every day and want to continue the growth of 4.3%, continue the job growth we are experiencing in the state. i want to make sure that ohio is the place it was when i came here and started my first business. i want to make sure the 53 employees that senator brown forgot about at my dealership, that i will protect them. i want to support ohio first and make sure i support ohioans. i hope on november 6, i can earn your vote. sen. brown: when you love your country, you fight for the people who make it work. i get up every day ready to make that fight for all of ohio workers, whether you punch a clock, swiped a batch, whether you work for tips, salary, whether you are raising cchildren or caring for an aging adult. i hear repeatedly that people are squeezed. i hear

we will drive fentanyl out of ohio. it has run wild and it's pretty precious to talk about what we need to do. this has nothing to do with drug trafficking laws and anyone with 19 g will be prosecuted and jailed under my watch is a drug traffic or in ohio. he has failed us on this issue, failed us on police training and failed us across the board which is why law enforcement support-- supports me, not you. >> i would invite anyone watching to talk to your local prosecuting attorney and ask them whether someone in possession of drugs, let's say it's fentanyl, where there's absolutely no other evidence except possession, if you think they can be charged. you've never been a county prosecuting attorney and you don't know anything about it. you are dead wrong. if you talk to attorneys what they will tell you is there's no place to go. that person with 19 g, enough to kill 10,000-- is that funny? 10,000 people? they will get no jail time. they will kill our drug courts. or the other thing, let me talk for a moment about what

he supports sanctuary cities in ohio. he would love for everyone to come rolling into ohio. and be here in sanctuary cities. the difference is we have a broken immigration system that needs to be fixed. we need to be able to look and change this. it is congress's fault. there is no doubt about it. my opponent has been in congress for 25 years. he had the hold-outs, the senate, and the presidency, and they didn't touch immigration. we have an immigration system that is broken. the people in the caravan, america is a sovereign country. america does believe in bringing people in, but there is a legal way to come in. there is an absolute legal way to come in. coming in in a group of up people, that is not the way to do it. we need to work to get that done. i will promise you this. as your next senator, i will work to make sure immigration is a priority. i will make sure i am working for ohioans and ohio first, not as the senator would be. which is for illegal imgrants first. he also said all those people here should be able to stay here. that is not fair. moderator: senator brow

that's not ohio values. he votes 97% of the time with his party. 96% of the time with chuck schumer and 94% of the time with elizabeth warren. that's not ohio values. he also, look at his background. he supports sanctuary cities, ohio doesn't support sanctuary cities. he supports open borders. him and his party want to eliminate ice. these are things that aren't supported by ohioans. look, i have said all along, i will work to make sure ohio is first. i understand what it is to come here as a poor kid and live the american dream. i love this state. it's given me the opportunity to live the american dream. and i want to make sure that i can give others it. if i'm successful which i plan if i'm successful which i plan on being on november 6 you can guarantee this, that i will work with anyone, republican, democrat, independents, to make sure that we make ohio and ohioans first. i want to thank you. look, november 6 is right around the corner. i hope i can earn your vote and your support and thank you again.

he is continuing to popular in ohio. and the president has delivered for ohio.nt and republicans in congress and our congressional delegation helped pass the tax cuts and jobs act which is making more jobs and more money in ohioans pockets. that is important to our economy. we have a record number of jobs in ohio since the last two year, because of the president's agenda. melissa: yeah. >> that is basic math. our voters will vote their wallet. they know republicans delivered for them. they are going to elect republicans. >> your race is really close. the republican is just couple point behind. those things change. they are polls. we know how we feel about polls in the last election. i love it when people tell me how women think and how women vote especially men telling me that they say republican women will vote for democrats in this cycle. how do you respond to that? >> we don't see it. as female chairman of the republican party, i spend a lot of time talking to women. they care about the economic issues, the security issues that republicans are strong on. we'r

we are steps away from the ohio river. we have problems with the ohio river, we have problems with lake erie, and waterways in between. clean water and clean air should be a basic in the state of ohio. the environmental groups have endorsed me and not mike dewine because they know his record for

victoria: and ended up in ohio. in ohio, he was phenomenal. i think he left behind his wayward ways and he started solving every case they put in front of him, and he was phenomenal. and he literally -- part of the case i talked about earlier, there was something like $50 million of corruption within the post office, and this is 1907. he was one of the main characters that uncovered that. they were buying cash machines that nobody was using, and there were thousands of cash machines being bought and registered. finally, he gets a case that he can't solve, and that is a murder. scott: the murder of salvador s irra was a turning point in his career. who was he? italian salvador was an immigrant, had a great little fruit business going. demar, alias,r who was his nephew. kills -- we did not know, of course, at the time. they find sarah murdered and local law enforcement finds two black hand letters, extortion letters, and immediately they know from that period of time that federal law enforcement has to immediately be involved. i think they were

they participated in a hour-long debate in marietta, ohio.his is courtesy of columbus. 2018 ohio to the gubernatorial debate hosted by marietta college and media partners. good evening and welcome to the arena on the beautiful campus of marietta college in southeastern ohio. i am colleague marshall. along with my media partner, we welcome you to this town hall style debate. this debate is brought to you

our closing message to the people in ohio is, look, here in ohio our economy is booming.have the most jobs we have ever seen in the state of ohio and that's because of public policies and we're going to continue that here in ohio. so our message is over the last eight years, the republicans have made this economy strong and we're going to continue to build on that over the next four years if you allow us to do that again. >> blaine, this is a state president trump won in 2016. it's also a state president trump just tweeted his endorsement for mike dewine. why is this race so close? we have polling that shows it neck in neck? >> everybody knows ohio is the constituental swing state in the country. that's something we expected going into this race and we are confident after november 6th, mike dewine will come out on top. >> tell me -- i will toss this to ali quickly but i want to mention vice president pence will be here tomorrow, lindsey graham tomorrow night. donald trump will make a final stop here in ohio. can you tell everyone is having all hands on deck. in effort in

. >>> for ohio, i'll never forget. i said, the polls have closed in ohio.ump has won the state of ohio. we won ohio by so much, that it took one second before they called it, okay? we won by a lot. it's a great place. and, by the way, have i produced? look at what's coming into ohio now. have we produced? i produced and you produced. >> that was president trump of course campaigning this past friday night in ohio bragging ba his election victory two years ago. with this fall's midterm now just three weeks off, president trump has been hitting the campaign trail for republicans across the midwest, hoping to stave off embarrassing losses in states that he carried two years ago. the washington post reports trump's luster may have worn off, leaving republican candidates flat. a number of republicans running for governor, wisconsin, pennsylvania, ohio, including several who hitched their wagon to trump's political movement are behind in polls by double digits. in fact, the real clear average polls in each of the states i mentioned shows the democratic incumbents

once ohio gave the green light to the troopers move on their suspect, they did.went on without incident. a bulked up josh was put in the backseat of a cruiser and driven downtown. detective michel confronted him -- >> you been charged with several counts, including the robberies that occurred at gabriel brothers, tumbleweed, the one that you were going to do at campbell's, and the murder of your soon-to-be ex-wife, brandy. >> reporter: josh was shown a graphic crime scene photo of poor brandy. >> this is what you are responsible for. this is what happened to your ex -- i'm willing to talk to you to get your side of the story if you're willing to talk to me. >> i think you're a good investigator but i'm going to have an attorney. >> okay. >> we're gonna do that. >> that's fine, josh. >> reporter: meanwhile, back in zanesville, police surrounded sirius underwood's car and arrested him. his interrogation didn't last long. >> you know why you're here? >> tell me. >> okay, we've had a grand jury, and you've been indicted. >> for what? >> aggravated murder, aggravated

we talked about the ohio 12 special election. in the democrat race, sandy o'connor won the majorities in columbus suburbs that had been republican forever. that was a district that democrats had represented in 40 years. the northern suburbs around columbus had always voted for republican back 100 years and those places voted for democrats, largely on the backs of educated suburban women are -- who are broadly dissatisfied with the president and how republicans have conducted themselves. there is a of districts that are less republican than that one that will be closely contested in a month. it is those districts democrats are hoping to win a majority of and a lot of them nominated women candidates to run. >> the retirements are certainly a problem. they are not unexpected in a year like this when history is going against republicans, but it has created more opportunities for democrats that wouldn't have been there. one great example is florida 27th district, where the candidate has been doing well. as a republican that cut a uniq

that concluded by the agricultural products from ohio, my home state, manufactured products from ohio, my home state and read this escalation of tariffs which boldly is not good for economies but be the country, certainly not good for consumers. that goes with the two risks you run when you say when equity is our trade laws. fairness is in the eyes of the vote a certain extent, i get that. but when you go to the process to determine what's there and not, dumping or subsidizing, or a surge of exports to the united states meant to destabilize industry and proving that industry is material damaged which is what the international trade commission and the ita are responsible for determining. you go through the process that you shown some unfairness, lack of the fair playing field. that's what it ought to be based on. he's more of a pure free trader and i'm not. having been at ucr and represent ohio which is a a huge manufactured state i do understand that at times it is appropriate for us to make that determination of what is there and what is unfair. and in turn requires a level playing f

last summer, the supreme court ruled about a case in ohio that allowed ohio to purge voters if they missed election cycles. they did it in ohio and exactly what they've done in indiana purging 10% of the indiana voting population. right? that's last summer. last week the supreme court roomed north dakota didn't have to register people, native americans mainly, who didn't have a permanent address, and the right way and -- a direct spr supreme court decision to swing the north dakota senate election towards republicans away from heidi heitkamp. this is all happening under a supreme court run by john roberts, you said in your last segment fespent his entire care acting against voter rights. and shelby somehow thinks racism is over in the south. thinks the south is not, should not be punished or still be held accountable for the acts of the former confederacy and has believed that his entire career and now he just has more power. so how do you stop all of this? the only way to do it is when you are lucky enough to get a democrat in office through all of these obstacles and what have you, lucky

in 2011, ohio becomes the first state to regulate the pain clinics. it took 12 years from the first pain clinic to open, the first pill mill to open for the state of ohio to regulate it. and in 2014 was when the first high profile person, phillip seymour hudson dies. and despite heath ledger, prince, major celebrities died, the nation never took this on the way rock hudson changed the aids discussion. while they were prescribing pain medication to people, especially workers that had been injured on jobbings, college students who had been injured playing college football, doctors started making pill mills because there were no laws because in one dealt with that and pill mills were starting to sell black tar heroine. so i want to talk about families. what in your experiences and we will just go down the line if you want to talk about it. how do you notice if someone in your family is addicted, how do you respond? what's appropriate because i have had an aunt that was addicted to heroine, but i don't have a close association to make that connection with

they did a good job in the ohio special. we have been helpful in missouri, indiana, montana already. that is more the role we see now versus the role we will so later -- see later. that is a conversation we have had with prospective contributors and we feel good about where we are today. reid: are you going to be around at the democratic primaries of 2020? brian: yet to be decided. >> how much money do you expect to spend in the cycle? brian: our goal has been to raise and spend $100 million, and that includes our c4 and super pac. i would have to do the math on how much we have spent so far. as i have told everybody, one of the benefits, since we are not the house or senate group, we have flexibility. we can look at the whole playing field and be nimble. we made decisions last night we will announce shortly. you will see us engage more and more and invest more in more as we get to election day. in the places we think need help and the places that make sense for us. >> that is it for our time. thank you for being our guest.

like this weekend's completely wild game against ohio state. >> touchdown!tyler's prediction known to everyone who cheered and more than realized. postgame, the team asked tyler to speak first. >> i'm not entirely sure i'm qualified to make the opening statement, but i just want to say, boiler up and i'm super happy that my prediction came true. >> reporter: in a voice now sounding strong. these guys with all the muscle and the speed, that's what they call him, tyler strong. john donvan, abc news. >> trent then addressed the team, by the way, saying, thanks for leaving your heart out on the field and showing the nation what being a boilermaker is all about. this was a massive, massive upset in the college football world. >> that's ohio state's only loss so far, right? >> so far. exactly. but they were the number two team. >> yeah. i mean, i'm sure those fans all went crazy, but -- >> uh-huh. purdue being -- being unranked. >> get them buckeyes out of there. >> congrats to the boilermakers and tyler. don't miss our updates on facebook at wnnfans.com. >> and m

south carolina senator lindsey graham, ohio attorney general running for the governorship of ohio. is an important race for this reason. people forget these governors races. 2020 we get the senses and then you get all the realignment, congressional seats begin to change and then rewrite what the districts are in usually the party in power has greater say. >> it's amazing how much money is being poured into the state from the democrat side. they really recognize the importance of the governorship in 2020. they get it, so we see millions and millions of dollars coming from california and new york outside the state of ohio. >> sean: senator, you now have -- i would argue kavanaugh was a tipping point. that moment doesn't happen i'm not sure he got through. it you to the right thing, clear, moral, the justice and indignation and use both for a lot of people. are you now have been in a lot of states. i don't know who's busier, the president and his 11 stops before election day. i think you have probably as many. >> he's got a better plan, i can tell you that. >> sean: talk about what is

. >> we have visited the mckinley memorial in ohio. what a structure. tell her audience the story of how they came to the? -- to be. >> way back in the day, people revered him. you know the significance about the roses they wore in the day when he was assassinated. . it --izens of ohio thought it would be fitting to come together and create a memorial for his legacy and memory. he is probably ohio's most becauseu.s. president he was not only a house number but the last u.s. civil war president. produced, inat addition to the fact that he was assassinated, probably contributed to them having a wonderful memorial. >> it is impressive. the amount of space it takes and the size of the memorial itself. i understood the first lady was very much involved in the building of it. >> that's correct. >> the first lady ladies memorial museum is on the same campus. would you talk about mrs. mckinley and her legacy and a role in the white house? >> wonderful maze. wonderful supportive wife. you know the story about her having epilepsy and the fact that mckinley was su

with the mid-terms four weeks away, the president is set to speak in ohio. we'll bring you highlights of his remarks throughout the hour. we'll take the best there is and play it back for you. plus have political analysis from republican strategist ed rollins on all of that. there are now at least 13 people known dead in the wake of hurricane michael. the storm's trail of devastation stretching from florida all the way to virginia. rick leventhal is in panama city with the very latest. >> the line for gas at sam's club at panama city was hundreds of miles long. hurricane we arey residents waiting more than two hours to fill their tanks. >> i had to dig it out of the trees. just to get it out of the trees. we are doing all right. the family is safe. that's all you can expect. reporter: hundreds more lined up for their first shopping opportunity in days. grabbing cases of water, snacks, batteries and generators. >> stuff that didn't need to be refrigerated. >> i'm hoping we can wait it out. they are saying maybe a month the power will be out. >> getting power

does the bridge have to fall into the ohio river for anything to get done? i say this facetiously, but what is your specific infrastructure plan proposal? does it include tolls for a new bridge and above and beyond the print expense, what about an increase in the national gasoline tax to pay for infrastructure programs? >> know. i don't believe we need tolls or gas tax. washington seems to be perfectly fine with finding money to fund its priorities and the infrastructure of the united states, specifically the infrastructure of the first congressional district has to be a priority. unfortunately it hasn't been a priority. unfortunately we had leadership in congress with steve chabot, 20 years to do anything about the bridge for the western health viaduct. when steve chabot in the district presumably drives over this bridge every day and unfortunately he's either not aware it is a problem or simply doesn't care but it is literally raining concrete. the brent spence bridge is a national problem. the viaduct for the past 12 years has been found to be structurall

they have concerns about the machines in ohio ohio was still largely using punch card machines. they have not replaced theirs yet. they were already using the paper for list machines. they were actually get a good a court to try to obtain the algorithms. in the courts denied access to it. in the courts generally agree with them. we talked a lot about this. they got out of the election business in 2009. there were four companies at the time and the election systems and software's which is based in nebraska. there was a company called sequoia voting systems. after they have artie spent them on the machine. they tried to sell off all of their business to election systems and software. and that would have consolidated the two top machine makers. this is a company actually based in canada. called the minyan voting systems. now they have the consolidated site. en s&s is the top voting machine company in the country followed by the foreign company. that said is there a danger in that in your view. maybe controlling the votes. they are lighting the software for more than 60% of machines
