as a state, oklahoma rates as one of the most unhealthy states in the nation.how do you feel about fitness as an answer to chronic illness and health issues and how you plan to address the crisis that has been called an epidemic? >> thank you. help is an issue in the state of oklahoma. they-steps have been made in the state capital to work with the kids coalition to the get nutrition in our schools. a few years ago and effort was made to remove some of the soft drinks from the vending machines, at least at the elementary level, and try to work our way up to make short work healthy choices were offered in the vending machines at our schools. wendy to figure out a way not to just get the kids more active, we need to get families involved. i have several friends who have different ideas, but one i really like has an idea that if you want to change the help of a family, then you need to change the attitude, the knowledge, and the information of the mother or whoever is head of the household. the mother is usually the one in charge of the meals. if we can teach our

and then his eye will be treated as an apartheid state sure ok even an apartheid state that claims to be a democracy. israel is a democracy it's nowhere near an apartheid state and what hasn't been mentioned fascinatingly so in the show up to now is the terrorism is that when israel in ninety three signed the oslo accords and we gave the palestinian police force the guns because you know as they do today they say they run around and they do their thing what we got in return were years and years of terrorism jews being blown up jews and arabs everybody being blown up in coffee shops on buses we left gaza we threw ten thousand jews out of their homes we transferred ten thousand jews not arabs but jews and destroyed their communities and what we got in return was this terrorist state just south of tel aviv there not just threatens israel but it's apparently become a base for critical al-qaeda and all the joyful people in the world and so israelis aren't stupid and israelis more than anybody want to live in peace but we also understand we've put our hand to peace and yet we see textbooks

you say our state is the same as any other state in this economy. how can you call each other names? >> gov. quinn [unintelligible] i have paid every time my code. -- dime i owed. he has racked up a $13 billion budget deficit, because he has not redefined state government at a level we can afford. just last week, the urban institute issued a statement saying curvature quinn is the worst deadbeat governor when it comes to funding -- gov. quinn is the worst deadbeat the the governor when it comes to funding expenditures. we need someone who will balance our budget so local agencies can work to provide the services with and what they receive. >> indiana has a higher unemployment rate then illinois. months after months of declining unemployment, we have a long way to go. we are starting to grow jobs. boeing is taking jobs from its 08 -- from missouri and bringing them to illinois. i do not want to cut the minimum wage like brady, a millionaire, who does not pay any income tax. minimum wage people do pay income tax. that is not right. >> that brings us t

our state is struggling. we have deep problems in the state. we need to define the differences between governor quinn's kicking the can down the road and what i think is a blueprint for illinois. we've laid out the blueprint. we said we have to trim state spending to our needs. we have to build revenues into our budget to pay back the backlog of unpaid bills so we don't bankrupt the state's deficit with debt that on the bs of the taxpayers. >> i want to ask all of us here to recognize the harwork -- hard work done by everyone who helped set up this debate. [applause] this activity, as you can see from the turnout, has been open to all members of the illinois community. if you are a member, it's great to have you back in the club house. if you are new to the union league club, this is a terrific introduction to the kind of things we do. you will find a flier outside about an upcoming violence prevention panel taking place in october. i commend it to your attention and we hope you will attend that activity here or some of our other public program

in the state of alabama ordaz -- it is a red states. -- in the state of alabama -- it is a red state. my son has been in the army since 1999. he has had several deployments to iraq. i would get the coura to call in about award. host: thank you, lydia. overall, we have the statistics on the number of males to females that call in. libya says she gothe courage to call and we would encourage -- lydia said she got the courage to call and we would encourage more females to call in. you can see the average caller is 70 dozen mailed to 16,000 females. -- 70,000 male callers to 16,000 females. here is another tweet. let's turn to the newspaper >> we are going to leave this now and go live to the national press club. brian moynihan is expected this afternoon to talk about the state of the global economy, and the news today that the company is halting foreclosures in many states. >> tarp allow the federal government to take stakes. it was regarded and heralded as "the end of wall street as we know it." in many ways, the banking sector and wall street are continuing along today. bank of america

to-- rival to the united states. >> is that acceptable to the united states that you know? >> i think to the united states we have today, absolutely. i any it's hillary clinton was sitting here she would say that is exactly what we want. >> a partnership with europe. >> yes. >> rose: we're not a senior partner, we're both -- >> well, let's leave that, as vague. senior, whatever, they will economies of equal size. they are massive. >> rose: but the growth rate of the united states economy is a bit higher expectation than the growth rate of the european economy. >> you know what, and also in military power there is no comparison. so it's going to be doing slightly different things. but maybe when it comes to afghanistan or pakistan actually the civilian side is at least as important as what the military can do. >> rose: and tell me what it is that europe is prepared to do in pakistan and afghanistan. >> well, europe gives more than half the official development aid in the whole world. and in civil kwan reconstruction as in the balance begans-- balkans, on january dam ree type

funds state funds are used to fund the party of child is yet state funds are not used to fund any other party that is not democracy you have david and goliath situation and besides this you have to remember you have to remember besides the fact that you have in venezuela the shut down of media that opposes the government you have rassmann of anyone persecution. if you stand against that you get persecuted i think your point you got your point ever go right ahead that's not true i had ever. been here before in finding foreign funding and there is certainly millions and millions of u.s. taxpayer dollars are funding political organizations parties and campaigns here there is clear and direct funding to the opposition campaign from u.s. agencies and other international agencies and it's a violation of the. law i mean you could say maybe the government invested some funds into their own party for this campaign but that does not justify opposition groups receiving foreign funding in violation of the law and of course u.s. agency. there is a call to interpretation. actually excuse. me i want t

it is a republican state. it was a republican state when george bush was a governor. it is a republican year. for any democratic nominee in the state in this year, the trouble is baked into the cake going in. you need some game changer. you need something to get you over the hurdle. white has been as competitive as and richards, but it is a huge rock to project -- to push up a huge hill. >> has white gotten any help from democratic leaders in washington? >> yes, but understand it is a double edged stork -- double edged sword. he relies heavily on washington to help his campaign, he gives the perry campaign the ability to say he is and obama cologne. lone. is an obama colum >> thank you so much. we will air those white-on and that's one interviews with the candidates tonight starting at 10:00 p.m. eastern time. good to c-span.org/politics for more information. >> i think it is very important to be transparent with the people of the state of texas. it has been pretty demanding of me. i worked my way through the agriculture commission post. i was open and honest about ho

state.did evening and welcome to debate for the state. this is the last debate of this intense election season. we're coming to you live from kakm-tv here in anchorage. joining us tonight are the candidates for u.s. senate that registered at least 5% in polls. lisa murkowski's is the republican incumbent. she has held the seat since september 2002. joe miller is the republican party nominee. he is from fairbanks. democrat scott mcadams this the former mayor. welcome, candidates. joining me is they donaldson. later in our program, laura townsend will also join us. we will also be hearing questions that we solicited from our viewers and listeners and we will include those in the program. our thanks to the studio audience for being here tonight. please remember to remain silent during the entire broadcast. candidates, each answer will be timed and you will see a yellow light at the 15 second mark telling you that you have 15 seconds left and then you will hear this sound when your time is up. i

states and are the envies of many other states and many other states copy them. there's been a process, this state has gone through the state water engineer, it's gone to the nevada supreme court, it's been through the district court and referred back to the state water engineer and that's where the process should be, the state water engineer is going to consider the objections of the folks in rural nevada that have some concerns about what's going to happen if the importation project were to occur and is going to weigh all those interests and make an informed decision. i support the process and would support the decision. >> based on what you know, would you favor that importation plan? >> again, it's important to understand, or get -- let the state water engineer do the job that's been appointed. they're the ones that are going to have the opportunity to sit through the hearings, listen to the folks that are concerned about their water interests in rural nevada and balance and come up with a informed decision. so as governor, i would continue to support that pr

is a battle ground state. there is not a state that doesn't have a key election that is going on and many states that were not safe are in play. so you are going to try to officer small job growth in states with the most jobs, big states like california, the top economy, florida, ohio, michigan, there are states that have tight races. >> it is like stimulus money. it is not stimulus money, but treasury money, but it is like bits and bits of stimulus money. it is not working. >>guest: this is trying to create liquidity for small business lending which have created 70's percent of the johns in the last decade but there is not the bank liquidity. >> we just had $30 billion gun nilled through community banks and many were in bad explain and no position to make fresh loans and it was a bailout for community banks. which banks are getting this $1.5 billion from the treasury? >>guest: you will see the states them themselves have to demonstrate each dollar provided, this has to be $10 loaned out. when banks recycle mo

we love our state and we have a state that's suffering. the other one is, as he mentioned with my family, i really respect his family. i've had the opportunity to actually have a dinner where his daughter was sitting at the same table, and he's got a great family, and that's something to be admired and respected. so in terms of those things, we want to have good people in the political process. in terms of the issues, again, we don't have a lot in common in term of how we approach things. i'm a positive person and, unfortunately, we've had too many negative things go on. but i'm not going to spend time on that. i will go back to his comment though that he made comments about handylab and some of our other companies. in fact, when the company was sold, many, many of the employees shared in that, and they had an opportunity win. they weren't excluded from that process. they had stock ownership, just like i had stock ownership in gateway. it was the same method that i shared, they shared. and i believe in that, and having them participate in

black students in the state of florida are out performing or tying the statewide average in state states. hispanic students are outperforming in 31 states. this is remarkable. we have to quit look to go washington. host: >> our guest is with us to talk about abolishing the education department. call us on any of our lines, republicans, democrats or independent lines. isn't most states providing their own money for schools and the federal money only a small percentage? guest: it's important that americans know that less than ten percent of funding for education comes from washington. most americans, when we pole. don't know how much is spent. when they found out we are spending $11,000 per year per student and in areas like washington d.c., we're spending $15,000 per student per year on a failed system. americans say, wait a minute, spending is not the problem. we have to deal with other things. teacher quality. deal with making sure all children can attend safe and affective schools. host: teacher quality was a big part of that. guest: you don't do it from washington. but it's calling pr

it then adopt amendments at the state level than adopt a state level fire code. the 2010 california fire code was published. this is what it looks like. it will become effective throughout california on january 1, 2011. local jurisdictions have 180 days to adopt their own commitments in the form of an ordinance, and that is why we are here today. in general, the proposed 2010 fire code carries forward the 2007 san francisco fire code without substantive modification. the primary changes and new requirements are described in the legislative digest that was described to you. i would like to provide a brief overview of the injured -- the issues that have generated interest to bring them to your attention. we are proposing to adopt the california state fire marshal solar photovoltaic installation guidelines, which outlined certain requirements for solar panel installations. clearances' provide a minimal working space so the fire fighters can work more safely to access routes and ventilate them in case of a fire. the quick ventilation of a roof is extremely important

our state is struggling. we have deep problems in the state. we need to define the differences between governor quinn's kicking the can down the road and what i think is a blueprint for illinois. we've laid out the blueprint. we said we have to trim state spending to our needs. we have to build revenues into our budget to pay back the backlog of unpaid bills so we don't bankrupt the state's deficit with debt that on the bs of the taxpayers. >> i want to ask all of us here to recognize the harwork -- hard work done by everyone who helped set up this debate.

former state, u.s. representative, and businessman dad who is running as republican party's candidate. in the state of colorado in a very tight race, a small number of voters can make a difference. one out of 10 voters in colorado is latina. we believe they will be decisive in determining the future leader of the state of colorado. we are seeing similar impacts and other gubernatorial races around the country such as in florida. again, the chief financial officer, democrat, running against a surprise candidacy of businessmen rick scott where 12.9, nude 13% of all voters are latinos in that contest. and in a state of texas where an incumbent governor rick perry is running against former houston mayor bill white, where more than one out of five registered voters is latino. other races where latinos are running includes of course the florida u.s. senate race. a three-way race between former speaker of the florida house of representatives marco rubio, governor charlie crist, and democrat ken meek. this thre

those states helped turned states from states carried by george wish. so clearly latinos are available -- able to influence statewide results in major elections. even as we move toward november, already latinos are having an impact. in the florida patriotism -- primary for the governor's race, this is probably the most vivid example of how latinos have had an influence on this election cycle. bill mccallum lost the primary for governor and many people believe it's because he moved too much to the extreme on the issue of immigration, losing sit -- the support of the latino voters. that especially was felt in the county of miami dade. so that now is rick scott against alex cins. so our projections for 2010, november, are that 6.5 million lat ioes will vote. nearly one million more than in 2006 where 5.5 million latino voters participated. that's a 7% increase. nationally we believe latinos will be 7% of all americans that cast their vote november 2. we have are -- not equally distributed throughout the united states but some sites -- states are more impac

we also have our state reserve.seems like we have our state reserve that is here to respond to the cuts in services or cuts in funding, and how that impacts services. this one seems like a key service, especially for very low income families who are struggling with education and in the work place with the child care. eliminating child care would eliminate them moving forward. what is the city looking at to address this issue so there is no impact on parents who are trying to make a go with their lives? >> supervisor, kate howard, mayor's office. i think you raised some important points. as you may have heard, the legislature is working on and has said they are committed to restoring this funding. this was lined out by the governor out of his budget, a line item vetoed. in san francisco, it is a $13 million loss. over 1,200 kids are affected by the cut. the legislature is working on negotiating a deal with the state first five commission, who have state and local first dollars for kids. in san francisco, that is abou

what we see that people are frustrated with the state legislature in which 95% of the state senate and state assembly district, if you are republican you have to governor right. if you are democratic, you have partisan legislature. have an l. we have complete gridlock. tant thiet important things don. certainly there needs to be reform, from the perspective of making sure that it has an impact the general funds, there is necessary puirement. requirement. you you don't necessarily have a way to fund it. i want to make sure they are written properly and taken out of the hands of the attorney general and mainly bill today framitive wa a positive way for his party, both republicans and democrats in a non-partisan group. we certainly need reform but critically important that we have the initiative process, particularly when we have of a state legislature that won't deal with spiraling problems and other issues that we are facing. >>> it's a question that i long been interested in. i believe i carried my first initiative form in 1995 or 1996 which i was a member of the california state assem

in state. the fact of the matter is they've remained very constant over the last five, six years. but you had the ability, governor, to do as i did which was to freeze college tuition. for your first three years in office you never did it. in fact, one of your biggest accomplishments was to force a 40% increase in college tuition. right up on an election year, yes, you did something different and froze it for one year. we are the only state in the country to go four years in a row without a penny's increase to college tuition and i'm proud of that. furthermore, the property tax, governor, you actually did vote to increase the property tax and you know you did it and did you it at the board of public works and perhaps you thought no one would notice that. [ loss of audio ] >> i'm -- denise, i get to respond here because it's important. the ads have been running. i didn't bring up the fact that property tax went up. you're right. thank now reminding me -- thank you for reminding me of that. gover

>> well, the united states came to afghanistan after september 11th in order to make the united states more secure from terrorism. that, they wanted to do by making afghanistan and this region more secure. as i mentioned in my opening remarks, part of that has been achieved. the united states and actually all of us around the world must find ourselves more secure from the threats of terrorism and we should do the right thing in order to get that. and in our opinion, the right thing is to be focused strategically on the financial resources to terrorism, on the sanctuaries to terrorism, on the availability of guidance to them and training to them. if we do that correctly and together, all of us, we will surely succeed sooner. >> larry: was it a good idea, mr. president, for the united states, the surge, the adding of 30,000 troops? was that a good idea? >> the united states, towards the end of 2007 and '08, felt that what the afghans were asking for a long time in 2002 and 2003 was adequate resources in both men and material to fight terrorism and to rebuild afghanistan. that was not giv

so, how does your state fare? joining us wall street journal columnist dan henninger, james freeman and senior economics writer steve moore. james, who are the worst offenders? >> the absolute worst offender is california. 10 billion out of the 24 billion of state taxes. >> paul: they always do it bigger. >> we hope they're not a trend setter here, hoping that's the end of the trend, but, yeah, big spenders in california and sacramento, also new york 6 billion out of that 24. >> paul: a smattering anywhere else, and maryland increased taxes, quite a number. steve, what is the figure, more than a dozen states, right, or close to it? >> that's right, about a dozen states have raised income and sales tax and what's interesting about what james just said, think about this, paul, california and new york are leading the way on tax increases. what do the two states have in common, about the deepest recession and they tried to raise taxes on the rich, paul, it hasn't worked and caused a tax revolt among everybody, not jus

diane denish used the state luxury jet like an air attacks, wasting state dollars. we need a change. >> i know what it is like to struggle. that is why i will fight hard to help small businesses create good jobs. i have a plan to get us back on track. a level playing field, a business friendly state, less taxes, and more jobs. that is what i will do for new mexico. >> if the midterm elections on november 2. each night, we are showing debates from key races around the country. we will be back with the debate for the candidates of the governor of new mexico. the debates are scheduled between the candidates for governor of texas. tonight we will have an hour- long interview with both of them. governor rick perry is at 10:00 p.m. >> voters head to the polls in less than two weeks. all the candidates on the c-span network. archived debase our on line at the c-span video library and on our politics page, candidates twitter feeds. policies and's election coverage right to election day. -- follow c-span's election coverage right through election day. >> a poll of more than

almost everyone who has a serious state and ability to analyze economics in the state had argued that both of you are not seeking realistic things about what will save the state. you cannot cut your way out a bit. you cannot tax your way out of it. this is a radical, a drastic situation. what citizens have gotten is political rhetoric from both of you. >> i got into the iranian and cut the budget. -- i got into the arena and cut the budget. he voted against cutting his own pay. it takes courage to cut the budget and keep education funding. our education funding this fiscal year is a little higher than last year. we maintain that. we want to maintain our investment in schools. center brady is proposing over $1 billion in cuts. raising local property taxes. that is what he is all about. i'd think we need a governor who is against the revenue for education i propose. we need revenue for education. >> you need a tax increase? >> i proposed a surcharge for schools so we find education from the state. if we do not do that, local property taxes will continue to rise. that is what centaur bra

in this state, especially oklahoma's uninsured state -- a sure children. the bill did not pass because there were a lot of conflicts with some of the specialty hospitals in our state. it is my understanding that negotiations have gone on that would allow that bill to come forward again without opposition. i would be willing and have already had discussions with the man i believe will be the next speaker of the house, and i absolutely support the idea of the legislature and governor working together to figure out a way that we can raise the amount of money oklahoma can bring in so we can reach the upper payment limits for purposes of health care. if it means going to vote of the people, i am confident if the people of oklahoma trust the way the money will be spent than the people of oklahoma will support it. >> next question for jari askins. >> this deals with what we can expect of you as a leader if you are elected. would you compare and contrast the last governor's we have had -- governors we have had -- i think our chamber has done a good job and our law

classic swing state. democrat nominee for the sun appeared a race that was thought to be competitive. everybody had left him for dead. the less financial report he showed very little money on hand. he is somebody that is in no not w not going to pull this off. meg whitman has spent $150 million. she will spend more than that. every public poll has -- winning. >> maggie, an obvious question. this comes from donna ritter. -- an audience question. is the mama grizzly label a good thing or a liability? an appropriate question for someone who is weeks away from being a mama. >> it has been politically potent and dangersou. ous. christie o'donnell is not exactly going to go down in the annals of great candidates in the general election. in terms of how well this is for sarah palin and the future, there is a huge number of republicans to do not believe she will run. how well this place all for her, i think will have a better sense and a year. the mama grizzly has helped her stand-up. she is polarizing. she is a

we cannot have a state-by-state immigration policy.responsibility of the federal government. told the president that we needed a jobs tax credit for the next two years and we need to take up immigration reform right now. it is our job, not the job with the states. >> mr. johnson. >> the issue of immration is relatively simple. step one, we have to secure the borders. i do not agree with comprehensive immigration reform because it has to be a two-step process. we granted amnesty in the '80s. i was opposed to amnesty. senator feingold voted for amnesty twice. we do need to enforce the laws of the books against employers who are enticing people to come overhe borders. the one thing we should not be doing is pass legislation that attracts people from across the border. senator feingold has voted for social security benefits for illegal immigrants. the budget for food stamps. the budget for sanctuary cities. those are things that attract people from across the border. that is very harmful. it is a two solution. if we have to secure the bord

as a state senator, my opponent tried to eliminate the state income tax -- the home state exemption bysponsoring legislation that would have actually raised taxes on our seniors. i have been trying to cut taxes on seniors. he tried to raise them. we have done other things. we have invested in energy. we have a major energy initiative underway. we will have the largest solar farm built east of the rocky mountains built here in ohio. we will be the first state to put peninsula -- wind out in lake erie. industry, the biofuel industry -- these energy jobs are exploding. we have frozen college tuition to make it more affordable for young people. we have invested in k through 12 education, moving up to fifth in the nation and best in the midwest. the federal reserve out of pittsburgh says we have the sixth-fastest growing state economy in america. my point was a congressman -- i call him -- my opponent was a congressman. i call him all what -- a wall street congressman. he voted for nafta. he voted to give china special trade status. he sent thousands and thousands of jobs out of ohio. he tr

it is important to know that i've been a state trooper in this state. i voted for every ethics bill. i live in the congress as it relates to corruption. i represent a poverty district. that is one of the reasons i am running for the senate. to make sure that we have leadership that will put people back to work. when it comes down to the situation dealing with mr. stackhouse, the state attorney is doing what she has to do. i support her in that effort. i am working elected official. someone that is going to dive into problems and deal with them. it is very important to also know that this state needs strong leadership that has integrity. that is the reason why i took the time to go throughout this great state of bars, getting signatures, looking floridians in the eye and asking them to sign a petition to place my name on the ballots. that is the reason i won the primary. i am connected to the everyday florida yen. i'm a public servant and not a politician. >> should you have known more note -- should have -- should you have known more about those ties? >

in the state of maryland. we have different definitions of progress in this state. over the past four years, we have seen a lot of job loss in the state. we have doubled unemployment, 3,000 small businesses shut. the largest tax increase in maryland i history and driven debt to historic highs. i believe we can do better. we have done better during our tenure. we can create jobs. we can lower taxes and we can retire our debt. the bottom line to today's debate is about who you trust. we have seen a lot of negative ads out there. it is a silly time. some of these ads are just over the top. and we are going to talk about those ads today and taste that's why, mary i appreciate the opportunity to have this confrontation and debate about the issues of the day and ads that have been running. who do you you trust to lead the state forward over the next four years? it is my pleasure and honor, humble, obviously to represent this state in 2003 to 2007. governor, thank you for being here today. i look forward to our debat

the rich states, the poor states, there is information about the future economic state of states. colorado has a strong economic future. taber must stay in place. one is our low property taxes. one is our balanced budget amendment. i do not see any conflict there. it makes a strong and healthy. amendment 23 needs to be reexamined. they have been a hog at trough for 10 years. graduation rates are not going up. dropout rates are not going down. scores are not going up. we cannot continue to throw good money after bad at k through 12 without more accountability. 23 is the first on my radar, not because i don't treasure public schools. i have a 15-year-old 2 was a public high school sophomore. i have a 7-year-old -- i think he is still seven. [laughter] he is in second grade. i want great public schools. throwing money at it will not solve the problem. 23 is causing an imbalance. if we had enough revenue in our state and our coffers were full with the right kind of executive leadership, we would not be debating this at all. we only debate when we have bad leadership and not enough tax

we are in the embassy states. if you talk to people, they will tell you that if we open up the research and development at our universities we will be doing far better. the bottom line is, if you believe this bureaucracy can move at the speed of business, then you would support jobs ohio. but if you think we need to get a group of people with the experience to go into the toughest places in this state to begin to remove barriers and began to work with companies in the state to be stronger and expand and to ultimately search the country for other opportunities to bring jobs to the state, which cannot keep doing what we are doing. 41 other states in america have outperformed us. it is because we have been too slow, not innovative and creative. i would change that. >> over to governor strickland. >> if my opponent and his friends had had their way, there likely would have been no surviving automobile industry in america. i was over at the chevrolet when the new car came off of the line. it is a card that is almost to
