>> LIVE FROM THE STUDIO IN WAUSAU. WISCONSIN BROADCASTERS ASSOCIATION FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE 2018 U.S. SENATE DEBATE. >> WITH INCUMBENT DEMOCRATIC SENATOR TAMMY BALDWIN. AND REPUBLICAN CHALLENGER LEAH VUKMIR. HERE IS FOUNDATION PRESIDENT AND CEO MICHELLE. >> GOOD EVENING. WISCONSIN BROADCASTERS ASSOCIATION AND RADIO AND TELEVISION STATIONS ARE PLEASED TO WELCOME YOU BETWEEN THE TWO LEADING CANDIDATES. BALDWIN AND VUKMIR. >> ORIGINATES FROM WAUSAU WISCONSIN. STUDIOS IN BEAUTIFUL DOWNTOWN WAUSAU. TONIGHT'S DEBATE CONTINUES LONGSTANDING COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE AND PUBLIC SERVICE. >> THE DEBATE UNDER WRITTEN BY THE FOUNDATION AND SUPPORTED BY A GRANT FROM THE WISCONSIN ASSOCIATION OF INDEPENDENT COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. LET'S GO NOW TO OUR MODERATOR. VETERAN WISCONSIN BROADCASTER MEMBER OF THE HALL OF FAME AND PROFESSOR LEADERSHIP AND MEDIA INTEGRITY. >> GOOD EVENING. HIGH QUALITY DEBATES SERVE DEMOCRACY WHICH HELPING VOTERS. >> THEY AREN'T A GAME SHOW. THEY FOCUS ON SPECIFICS NOT GENERALITIES. >> AND THEY DEMAND THE CANDIDATES BACK UP THEIR POSITIONS AND PROMISES WITH FACTS THAT STAND THE TEST OF SCRUTINY. OUR GOAL TONIGHT AND TO THAT END WE SET SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE CANDIDATES TO WHICH THEY HAVE AGREED. THE ORDER OF CANDIDATES HAS BEEN DETERMINED BY COIN TOSS. WE DON'T PLAY FAVORITES BUT WE DO EXPECT THEM TO KEEP TO TIME. FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE HOUR THAT MEANS 90 SECONDS ANSWERS TO PANELIST QUESTIONS. OUR CANDIDATES CAN SEE A BIG COUNT DOWN CLOCK AND SO DO I. IF THEY REAP THEIR 90 SECOND LIMIT AND CONTINUE, I ASK THEM TO STOP. >> IF THEY GO ON, I WILL SO NOTE AND THEIR MICROPHONE CEASE TO FUNCTION. KNOWN TO AVOID GIVING SPECIFIC ANSWERS TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT. IF THAT HAPPENS WE HAVE AGREED THAT THE MODERATOR WILL INVOKE THE OPTION TO CALL THEM OUT ON IT AND GIVE THEM 30 SECONDS TO ANSWER THE QUESTION AS ASKED. >> OUR CANDIDATES HAVE AGREED NOT TO USE PROPS AND WE WON'T EITHER. TOWARD THE LATTER QUARTER WE WILL ASK A FEW QUICK QUESTIONS FOR WHICH THEY EACH HAVE 30 SECONDS RESPOND UNLESS THEY DIRECTLY ATTACK THEIR OPPONENT NO REBUTTAL. WE CLOSE WITH TWO MINUTE STATEMENTS FROM EACH CANDIDATE. >> NOW LET'S GET STARTED BY WELCOMING THEM WITH TITLE THEY HAVE ASKED US TO USE. SENATOR BALDWIN AND MISS VUKMIR AND NOW WE WILL START THE QUESTIONING. WE START WITH BEN MEYER IN RHINE LANDER. >> THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. ON WEDNESDAY YOU SENT OUT THIS TWEET. QUOTE MUST READ. NEW OP ED TODAY BALDWIN WILL DEMOLISH OUR PROMISES TO SENIORS. >> YOU LIST TO OP ED ATTACKED MEDICARE FOR ALL. WHAT YOU ARE CALLING BALDWIN CARE. >> IN THAT OP ED THE PRESIDENT SAID MEDICARE FOR ALL WOULD EVISCERATE MEDICARE. >> BUT MULTIPLE NONPARTISAN FACT CHECKERS DEBUNKED THAT. >> WENT SO FAR AS TO SAY ALMOST EVERY SENTENCE CONTAINED MISLEADING STATEMENT OR FALSEHOOD. >> FOR EXAMPLE, SENIORS WON'T LOSE BENEFITS. GET MORE. DO YOU STAND BEHIND THE PRESIDENT'S OP ED? >> I STAND BEHIND THE FACT THAT THE PLAN THAT SENATOR BALDWIN IS SUPPORTING AND I HAVE CALLED IT BALDWIN CARE A COMPLETE GOVERNMENT TAKE OVER OF HEALTH CARE. SHE WANTS TO TURN THE ENTIRE SHE BANG OVER TO GOVERNMENT. IF YOU READ THE BILL AND I HAVE, IT WILL DISMANTLE MEDICARE. MEDICAID. THE TRI CARE PROGRAM THAT OUR VETERANS USE. ALSO DISMANTLE THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT AND I AGREE WITH THAT. WE SHOULD DISMANTLE THAT. BUT IT GETS RID OF PRIVATE INSURANCE. TAMMY BALDWIN IS OKAY WITH THAT. I'M NOT. THIS IS A SCARY SCENARIO TO ME AS A NURSE WHO HAS GIVEN QUALITY CARE TO PATIENTS THROUGHOUT MY ENTIRE CAREER. AND TAMMY BALDWIN WANTS TO PUT EVERYONE ON A SYSTEM DOCTORS REIMBURSED A MUCH LOWER RATE. THAT MEANS FAR FEW DOCTORS ARE GOING TO PARTICIPATE, MANY WILL RETIRE. FEWER WILL WANT TO ENTER IN TO THE FIELD OF MEDICINE. HAVE FEWER DOCTORS, MORE PATIENTS THAT MEANS THE QUALITY OF CARE IS GOING TO GO DOWN. I WORKED TOO HARD TO GIVE QUALITY CARE TO THE PATIENTS IN MY CAREER. AND I'M NOT GOING TO LET THAT HAPPEN TO OUR SENIORS OR TO ANYONE IN THE STATE OF WISCONSIN OR IN OUR COUNTRY. >> THANK YOU. >> RESPONSE. >> YES. >> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I READ THAT FACT CHECK AND I AGREE WITH THE PREMISE OF YOUR QUESTION THAT ALMOST EVERY LINE WAS NOT TRUE. >> BUT I WANT TO SAY THAT TALKS A LOT ABOUT HER TIME AS A NURSE. BUT I REALLY WANT TO FOCUS ON HER VOTING RECORD AS A 16 YEAR POLITICIAN. >> AND NO WONDER SHE IS WORRIED ABOUT PRIVATE INSURANCE. AT EVERY VOTE ON HEALTH ISSUES SHE SEEMS TO HAVE SIDED MORE WITH THE PRIVATE INSURERS THAN SHE HAS WITH PATIENTS. >> WHETHER THAT'S YOUR VOTE TO DENY INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR CHEMO OR HER VOTE TO DENY DEAF CHILDREN IMPLANTS OR HEARING AIDS OR HER VOTE TO PREVENT INSURANCE COMPANIES FROM EXPANDING MENTAL HEALTH COVERAGE. ON AND ON AND ON. IT'S LIKE SHE CARES MORE ABOUT MAKING SURE COSTS ARE LOW FOR INSURANCE COST THAN FOR PATIENTS. THIS IS REALLY A QUESTION UNDER CHOICE FOR THE VOTERS. ARE WE GOING BACKWARDS. OR ARE WE GOING TO GO FORWARD. CRITICAL ISSUES FACING US RIGHT NOW IN THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS. >> COSTS ARE TOO HIGH. WE HAVE BIPARTISAN PLANS TO LOWER THEM. >> I BELIEVE WE SHOULD HAVE MEDICARE NEGOTIATE FOR LOWER PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICES. I THINK WE SHOULD PASS FAIR DRUG PRICING ACT. >> BUT WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD TO EVENTUALLY GOAL THAT ALL -- >> TIME IS UP. THANK YOU. >> LET'S MOVE ON TO THE NEXT QUESTION. >> SENATOR BALDWIN, YOUR PROPOSAL TO BLOCK LOW COST LOW COVERAGE HEALTH INSURANCE FAILED BY ONE VOTE IN THE SENATE. WHY SHOULD AN OTHERWISE HEALTHY YOUNG PERSON NOT BE ALLOWED TO BUY THAT TYPE OF HEALTH INSURANCE? AND WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN IF A PERSON FINDS OUT THAT CERTAIN THINGS ARE THEN NOT COVERED LIKE PRESCRIPTION DRUGS OR MENTAL HEALTH CARE OR ADDICTION HEALTH SERVICES? >> YOU KNOW MANY PEOPLE REFER TO THESE INSURANCE PLANS AS JUNK INSURANCE. DO NOT HAVE TO COVER PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. DO NOT HAVE TO COVER EMERGENCY ROOM CARE. THEY DO NOT HAVE TO COVER PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE. >> THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE TO COVER MATERNITY CARE AND MOST OF THEM DON'T. >> NOW MY OPPONENT SUPPORTS THESE PLANS. >> BUT I FEEL GO BACK TO THE OLD DAYS WHEN THESE PLANS AND PEOPLE EITHER WHO AS YOU SAY WERE HEALTHY WOULD ENROLL AND FIND OUT IF THEIR TIME OF NEED THAT THEY ARE NOT COVERED. THEN END UP IN BANKRUPTCY COURT. WE DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO BAD OLD DAYS. MOVE FORWARD AND MAKE SURE WE KEEP THE GUARANTEES YOU CANNOT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST SOMEONE BECAUSE THEY HAD PRE-EXISTING HEALTH CONDITION. KEEP THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT IN ORDER TO DO THAT ALONG WITH THIS OTHER PROTECTIONS. BUT HAVING THESE PLANS USED TO EXIST, BUT WERE SHRUNK TO ONLY THREE MONTHS. WHAT WE FOUND IS THAT PRICES WENT UP IN THE INSURANCE MARKET BECAUSE SICKER AND OLDER PEOPLE REMAINED THERE. THEY NEEDED THE COVERAGE AND A LOT OF FOLKS WHO THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE HEALTHY GOT STUCK WITH BANKRUPTCY OR BILLS WHEN THEY ENROLLED IN HEALTH INSURANCE THAT DIDN'T COVER THEM. >> YOUR RESPONSE. AX RESPOND TO SOMETHING THAT SENATOR JUST PREVIOUSLY SAID AND SHE WISHES TO CHERRY-PICK VARIOUS VOTES. I HAVE A STRONG TRACK RECORD OF SUPPORTING MENTAL HEALTH JUST THIS LAST SESSION. EIGHT BILLS ON MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. >> AND SO IT'S EASY FOR HER TO GRAB A QUICK HEADLINE BY SAYING THINGS LIKE THAT. UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. AND I KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN I LOOK AT THINGS. BUT LET'S TALK ABOUT SENATOR BALDWIN'S PROPOSAL. AND THE FACT SHE, I THINK THAT WHAT YOU ARE PROPOSING ARE RESTRICTIVE AND WE WANT PEOPLE TO HAVE MORE CHOICES. IMAGINE SENATOR BALDWIN IF YOU HAD A SON OR DAUGHTER AND WANTED TO GET OFF YOUR INSURANCE AND THEY ARE HEALTHY AND WANT TO STAND ON THEIR OWN. MAKE IT ON THEIR OWN. AND THEY CAN'T DO THAT UNDER THE PROPOSAL THAT YOU HAVE. THEY DON'T WANT TO BANKRUPT THEIR PARENTS. >> THEY CAN'T AFFORD RIGHT NOW THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. >> AND TO THIS IS AN OPTION FOR THEM TO HAVE A HEALTHY COVERAGE FOR THEMSELVES. YOU WANT EVERYBODY TO HAVE THE SAME THING BUT PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT NEEDS. WE NEED TO CREATE A MARKET WHERE PEOPLE HAVE THE TYPE OF INSURANCE THAT WORK FOR THEM. THAT WOULD CREATE THE COMPETITION THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY FOR PRICES TO BE LOWERED AND QUALITY OF CARE TO GO UP. >> YOU DON'T WANT THAT. YOU WANT ONE SIZE FITS ALL PROGRAM. >> LET'S MOVE ON. >> RESPONSE. NO RESPONSE. NEXT QUESTION. >> WE ARE GOING TO STAY WITH HEALTH CARE BUT GOING TO TURN THE TOPIC TO PRE-EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS. YOU SAID IN THE FIRST DEBATE THAT WAS HELD I WOULD FALL IN FRONT OF A TRUCK BEFORE I WOULD LET PEOPLE GO WITHOUT COVERAGE FOR PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. YOU DO WANT TO REPEAL THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT AND RETURN TO THOSE HIGH RISK POOLS AVAILABLE BEFORE ACA WENT IN TO EFFECT. NOW THE KAISER FAMILY FOUNDATION SAYS THOSE COSTLY HIGH RISK POOLS WORKED FOR 25,000 WISCONSIN. WHO COULD AFFORD INSURANCE. >> AND IT IS ESTIMATED THAT ABOUT 852,000 PEOPLE IN THE STATE HAVE PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. IF ACA WENT AWAY TOMORROW, HOW WOULD THEY GET COVERAGE AND HOW WOULD IT BE FUNDED? >> WELL, THIS IS THE

INAUDIBLE

PERPETUATED ACROSS THE COUNTRY AGAINST EVERY REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE. GLOMMED ON TO THIS AS THEIR ISSUE. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, THAT BEFORE OBAMACARE WENT IN TO PLACE, FEDERAL LAW SAID IF YOU ARE ON MEDICARE, MEDICAID OR PRIVATE INSURANCE YOU WERE COVERED FOR PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. I SAID IT BEFORE AND I WILL SAY IT AGAIN. I WILL FALL IN FRONT OF A TRUCK BEFORE I LET PEOPLE WITH PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS GO WITHOUT COVERAGE. WE KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF PEOPLE WITH PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. IT CAN BE DONE. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS WHAT SENATOR BALDWIN PROPOSING HER PLAN IS GOING TO MAKE IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR PEOPLE TO RECEIVE THE CARE THEY WANT. IMAGINE IF YOU DON'T HAVE PRIVATE INSURANCE, AND YOU ARE THAT PERSON WHO HAS A RARE LUNG DISEASE, NOT ABLE TO SEE YOUR SPECIAL DOCTOR, THAT IS WHAT SENATOR BALDWIN WANTS US TO DO. TO BE ON A PLAN WHERE YOU PUT SOMEBODY AT RISK LIKE THAT. OR LET'S SAY NEED HIP REPLACEMENT. OR YOU WANT A KNEE REPLACEMENT. THAT'S CONSIDERED ELECTIVE SURGERY. WE HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN IN CANADA AND ENGLAND. PEOPLE WAIT 12 HOURS IN EMERGENCY ROOM. THEY WAIT TWO MONTHS FROM ON SET OF DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER. BREAST CANCER IMAGINE. TWO MONTHS BEFORE TREATMENT. THIS IS THE SYSTEM THAT SENATOR BALDWIN WOULD PUT US IN. I DON'T WANT THAT. THAT IS NOT GOOD QUALITY HEALTH CARE. THAT IS NOT WHAT WE ARE USED TO GIVING TO PEOPLE IN OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM NOW AND I REFUSE TO LET THAT HAPPEN. >> THANK YOU. SO GLAD THAT YOU ARE FOCUSING IN ON PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. ACTUALLY THE ISSUE THAT BROUGHT ME IN TO PUBLIC LIFE TO BEGIN WITH. >> WHEN I WAS A CHILD I WAS VERY SICK IN THE HOSPITAL THREE MONTHS. AND AFTERWARD MY GRANDPARENTS HAD A REAL STRUGGLE FINDING ME INSURANCE BECAUSE I WAS LABELED AS THAT CHILD WITH A PRE-EXISTING CONDITION. >> AND IT HAS BEEN MY LIFE'S WORK TO FIGHT TO MAKE SURE THAT AMERICANS HAVE ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE QUALITY HEALTH CARE REGARDLESS OF PRE-EXISTING CONDITION OR OTHER FACTORS THAT WE DON'T HAVE AN AGE TAX FOR PEOPLE OVER 50. ALL OF THESE THINGS AND MANY MORE INCORPORATED WHEN FINALLY PASSED THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. MY OPPONENT WOULD HAVE VOTED AGAINST IT. IN FACT, THE VOTE TO DEFEAT IT WENT DOWN BY ONE VOTE AND SHE HAS SAID SHE WOULD BE THE DECIDING VOTE IF SHE WERE ELECTED TO THE SENATE. I THINK THIS GOES DOWN TO THE CHOICE. GO FORWARD OR GO BACKWARD. >> YOU TALKED ABOUT THE PROGRAM. VERY EXPENSIVE. A SIX MONTH WAIT IF YOU HAVE PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. AND STILL LIFETIME CAPS AND ONLY ABOUT 1% OF WISCONSIN WITH PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS ARE ENROLLED. >> SAME PROBLEM WITH THE PLANS ABOUT ONE IN FIVE PEOPLE REJECTED WHEN THEY APPLY FOR THAT INSURANCE. HOW CAN YOU HAVE A CHOICE OF DOCTORS IF YOU ARE -- WON'T EVEN COVER -- TIME IS UP. THANK YOU. NEXT QUESTION. GOES TO JEFF TAYLOR. >> THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING. >> I ASKED FOLLOWERS WHAT TOPICS THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE COVERED TONIGHT. TO MY SURPRISE MORE REQUESTED MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION THAN ANY OTHER SUBJECT. >> SO HERE IS THE QUESTION. >> MORE THAN A DOZEN WISCONSIN COUNTIES INCLUDING THE ONE YOU ARE IN RIGHT NOW MARATHON MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION RELATED REFERENDUM QUESTIONS ON THE NOVEMBER 6 BALLOT. >> AND LAW SCHOOL POLL ASKED WHERE WE STOOD ON THE ISSUE. IT FOUND 61% REGISTERED VOTERS FAVOR FULL LEGALIZATION WITH REGULATIONS AKIN TO THOSE ON ALCOHOL. >> AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL WOULD YOU SUPPORT AT LEAST CHANGING MARIJUANA FROM A SCHEDULE ONE DRUG, HIGHLY ADDICTIVE DRUG WITH NO MEDICAL VALUE TO A SCHEDULED TWO DRUG ADDICTIVE BUT HAVING SOME MEDICAL VALUE. THEREFORE AX OPENING IT UP TO AT LEAST RESEARCHING MARIJUANA FOR MEDICAL USE. >> I BELIEVE THIS IS FOR MISS VUKMIR. SENATOR BALDWIN STARTS. >> I APPRECIATE THAT QUESTION. >> AND ACTUALLY DOES COME UP MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE WOULD REALIZE AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL. LET ME START WHERE I WOULD BE ON THOSE REFERENDUM. I HAVEN'T SEEN ALL OF THEM. >> BUT I BELIEVE THAT I WOULD BE IF I THINK THERE IS ONE ON MY BALLOT AT HOME. I WILL BE SUPPORTING IT. HERE IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE SCHEDULE ONE DESIGNATION. >> WHEN SOMETHING IS DEEM TO HAVE NO MEDICAL VALUE, THERE IS NO PUBLIC FUNDED RESEARCH. SO WE DON'T KNOW THE FACTS EXCEPT FOR WHAT HAS BEEN DISCOVERED THROUGH REP IN OTHER COUNTRIES OR WHATEVER PRIVATELY FUNDED RESEARCH HAS BEEN DONE. >> THAT'S A PROBLEM BECAUSE WE NEED TO KNOW IF THIS IS EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO OTHER DRUGS FOR GLAUCOMA OR FOR

INAUDIBLE

FOR ANY NUMBER OF OTHER CONDITIONS. HOW ABOUT ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT TO PAIN THAT IS LESS ADDICTIVE THAN OPIOIDS. KILLED SO MANY PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY. >> WE ALSO HAVE OTHER ISSUES IN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. >> IN STATES NOW WHERE IT IS LEGAL TO USE MARIJUANA, FEDERALLY EMPLOYED DOCTORS CAN'T DISCUSS THAT WITH THEIR PATIENTS. >> THAT'S A PROBLEM. A DOCTOR SHOULD HAVE FREE REIN TO TAKE ABOUT ALL OPTIONS. WE HAVE MORE CERTAINLY MORE WORK TO DO IN THIS AREA OF RELIEVING PAIN. >> SENATOR BALDWIN YOUR TIME IS UP. YOUR RESPONSE. >> YES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE SETTLED AT THE STATE LEVEL. >> AND I HAVE VERY SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA. PEOPLE KNOW THAT. I HAVE SAID THAT. I LOOK AT MARIJUANA THE FACT IT IS A SCHEDULE ONE DRUG WHICH WE KNOW MEANS THERE ARE NO MEDICAL INDICATIONS FOR ITS USE. >> AND THEREFORE I BELIEVE IT IS VERY CONCERNING THAT SENATOR BALDWIN WILLING TO OPEN THIS UP. THE DRUG, THE DEPARTMENT OF DRUG ENFORCEMENT EDUCATION HAS SAID THAT MARIJUANA IS HIGHLY ADDICTIVE. EVEN MORE ADDICTIVE THAN VICODIN AND METH AND OTHER DRUGS. WE HAVE A SERIOUS HEROIN AND OPIOID ADDICTION PROBLEM IN OUR STATE AND IN OUR COUNTRY. >> AND PROBLEM THAT SENATOR BALDWIN AVOIDED. I GOT TO TELL YOU, I DON'T WANT TO PUT US IN A SITUATION WHERE WE ARE NOW CONTRIBUTING TO THAT AND MAKING THE PROBLEM WORSE. >> THE GOVERNOR OF COLORADO A DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR HAS WARNED HAS SAID, "STATES BEWARE. BE CAREFUL." >> ALSO AS A NURSE I LOOK AT THIS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH I HAVE SEEN ON THE BRAIN DEVELOPMENT OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IF WE START GOING DOWN THIS ROAD WE MAKE THIS LEGAL, WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. I AM NOT WILLING TO TAKE THAT RISK. MUCH MORE TIME IS NEEDED TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS. >> NOW WE ARE GOING TO OVER OUR SOCIAL MEDIA DESK. SHE HAS A QUESTION FOR YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING. A LOT OF PEOPLE ON SOCIAL MEDIA WANTED PLEA TO ASK ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE. >> REPORT RELEASED EARLIER THIS MONTH ON CLIMATE CHANGE SAYS THE CONSEQUENCES OF CLIMATE CHANGE ARE MORE IMMEDIATE THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. THAT INCLUDES WORSENING FUTURE SHORTAGES WILD FIRES AND MASSIVE DIE OFF OF CORAL REEFS BY THE YEAR 2040. >> YOU SIGNED THE NO CLIMATE TAX PLEDGE. WHICH MEANS YOU WOULD PROMISE TO FIGHT LEGISLATION THAT TAXES INDUSTRIES PRODUCING CARBON. DO YOU AGREE WITH THE SCIENCE BEHIND CLIMATE CHANGE AND ITS AFFECTS IN LIGHT OF THE U.N. REPORT DOES YOUR STANCE NOW CHANGE? >> ALSO WANT TO HEAR YOUR TAKE AS WELL. >> GOD GAVE US THIS GREAT EARTH AND IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO NURTURE IT AND TO CARE FOR IT AND THAT MEANS MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE TAKING CARE OF OUR NATURAL RESOURCES. >> WE ALSO HAVE TO BE CAREFUL THAT WHEN WE GO DOWN THE ROAD OF TRYING TO AFFECT CLIMATE CHANGE AND CLIMATE IS CHANGING. EVERYONE AGREES WITH THAT. BUT WHAT WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL OF WHEN WE GO DOWN THIS ROAD THAT WE BALANCE WHATEVER PROCEDURES AND MECHANISMS THAT WE ARE DOING TO TRY TO AFFECT THE CHANGING CLIMATE WE ARE NOT JUST DOING SOMETHING WITHOUT CERTAINTY THAT IS GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH SO MANY OF THESE GREEN IDEAS. THEY ARE NOT BASED IN SCIENCE. THEY ARE BASED ON A WHIM AND THERE IS NO CERTAINTY THAT IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. >> WE HAVE TO BALANCE OUR NEED FOR PROTECTING THIS BEAUTIFUL EARTH THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO US WITH THE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE NOT SPENDING MONEY IN AREAS THAT AREN'T GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. OFTEN TIMES THESE ARE PROPOSALS THAT PUT A LOT OF ONUS LIKE AMERICA AND OTHER COUNTRIES ARE DOING NOTHING. AND HOW FAIR IS THAT. IT IS NOT FAIR TO OUR INDUSTRIES. I BELIEVE WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THIS IF WE BALANCE THOSE TWO NEEDS TOGETHER. I AM COMMITTED TO IT. I KNOW WE CAN DO IT. BUT WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL THAT WE JUST DON'T EMBRACE CRAZY EXTREME IDEAS THAT HAVE NO CERTAIN BENEFIT TO MAKE A DIS. THANK YOU. >> YOUR TIME IS UP. NOW FOR A RESPONSE SENATOR BALDWIN. >> THANK YOU. >> I REVIEWED THE U.N. CLIMATE REPORT. IT DOES PRESENT VERY DIRE CONCERNS INCLUDING GLOBAL TEMPERATURE WARMING OF ABOUT 2.7 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT BY 2040. I ALSO SEE IT ALL AROUND ME. >> I HAVE BEEN TWICE UP TO NORTHERN COUNTIES IN 2016 AND 2018 JUST TO SURVEY DAMAGE FROM INCREDIBLY EXTREME RAIN EVENTS THAT HAVE WASHED OUT ROADS AND COST LOCAL COMMUNITIES STATE AND FEDERAL RESOURCES IN ORDER TO REPAIR ON AN EMERGENCY BASIS. SO I SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING. MY OPPONENT AND THIS IS WHERE YOU HAVE SUCH A CLEAR CHOICE IN THIS ELECTION. MY OPPONENT NOT ONLY DISPUTES CLIMATE SCIENCE AND I AM LEARNING TODAY SHE ALSO IS DISPUTING SOME OF THE SCIENCE BEHIND CLEANER ENERGY SOURCES, ET CETERA, BUT SHE ALSO WOULD ELIMINATE THE PROTECTION AGENCY. EPA WHICH PROTECTS THE WATER WE DRINK AND THE AIR WE BREATHE. >> WE ALL SHARE THAT ON THIS PLANET AND WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO PRESS FOR BETTER STEWARDSHIP AND RESILIENCY. >> IN ADDITION, I JUST HAVE TO SAY THAT THE EFFECTS ARE AROUND US, THEY ARE IMMEDIATE. YOUR TIME IS UP. OKAY. >> MOVE ON.

OVERLAPPING SPEAKERS

I NEVER SAID -- IF WOULD YOU LIKE TO USE OWE NEVER SAID THE EPA. YOU MAY DO IT THEN. THANK YOU. >> MOVE ON TO THE NEXT QUESTION. >> NEW TOPIC IS TOPIC OF SUPREME COURT SENATOR BALDWIN. ABC NEWS WASHINGTON POST POLL RELEASED YESTERDAY SHOWS AMERICANS DISAPPROVE THE JUSTICE BRETT KAVANAUGH CONFIRMATION BY 10-POINT MARGIN. ALSO 53% OF RESPONDENTS SUPPORT MORE INVESTIGATION BY CONGRESS IN TO ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT AND ALLEGATIONS OF PERJURY BY JUSTICE KAVANAUGH. DO YOU SUPPORT ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATIONS IN TO HIS PASSED AND HIS TRUTHFULNESS AT THE CONFIRMATION HEARING? >> I REMEMBER THE NOMINATION OF BRETT KAVANAUGH AND GETTING AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW HIS RECORD. AND MY IMMEDIATE CONCERNS WERE THAT THE PEOPLE OF WISCONSIN HAD A FAIR IMPARTIAL AND INDEPENDENT VOICE ON THE SUPREME COURT A JUSTICE BECAUSE I REALIZE HOW HIGH THE STAKES ARE THAT HANGING IN THE -- DEPENDENT ON WHO WOULD BE THE NEXT JUSTICE, WE HAD POTENTIAL FOR THE COURT TO SIDE WITH POLLUTERS OVER REGULATION TO KEEP OUR AIR CLEAN AND TO KEEP OUR WATER CLEAN. WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITIES TO POTENTIALLY SEE THE ROLL BACK IN WOMEN'S HEALTH AND ACCESS TO CONTRACEPTION. WE HAD A CANDIDATE WHO WROTE ABOUT SAYING THAT A PRESIDENT SHOULDN'T GET SCRUTINY OR INVESTIGATION OR SUBPOENAS. NO WONDER THIS PRESIDENT NOMINATED HIM BUT I HAVE TO SAY I DECIDED THAT I COULDN'T CAST A VOTE IN FAVOR OF BRETT KAVANAUGH AFTER MY EARLY REVIEW OF HIS RECORD. >> I ASKED SEVEN TIME TO MEET WITH BRETT KAVANAUGH AND THE WHITE HOUSE FAILED TO MAKE THAT OPPORTUNITY AVAILABLE TO ME. AND DOZENS OF MY COLLEAGUES I MIGHT ADD. BUT AS TO DR. FORD, I FOUND HER CREDIBLE AND COMPELLING AND I BELIEVE HER. I WANT ALL YOUNG -- TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK THEIR TRUTH. >> I HAVE TO INVOKE THE OPTION TO ASK YOU TO ADDRESS THE SPECIFIC QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED ABOUT REOPENING AN INVESTIGATION IN TO THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIM BOTH OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT AND THE ALLEGATION OF PERJURY. YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS TO RESPOND SPECIFICALLY. >> WELL SPECIFICALLY SAY THAT I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE WHITE HOUSE ALLOWED A FULL AND FAIR INVESTIGATION. I HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW THE FBI REPORT ON TWO OCCASIONS AFTER IT CAME OUT AND IT WAS CLEAR THAT LIMITED ACCESS TO WITNESSES, JUST A FEW AND DIDN'T FOLLOW TIPS OR CLUES. I THINK IT'S ONLY FAIR THAT WHEN SOMEBODY AGAINST ALL ODDS SPEAKS OUT LIKE DR. FORD, THAT THERE SHOULD BE A THOROUGH REVIEW. >> WE MOVE ON TO REBUTTAL OR RESPONSE AT LEAST FROM MISS VUKMIR. I DON'T BELIEVE THE INVESTIGATION SHOULD HAVE BEEN OPENED AGAIN. THERE WERE SEVEN OR EIGHT BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS THAT WERE ALREADY DONE AND SENATOR BALDWIN DECIDED AFTER 48 HOURS AFTER SHE WAS ANNOUNCED, IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT JUDGE KAVANAUGH WAS GOING TO BE THE PICK, SENATOR BALDWIN SAID SHE WASN'T GOING TO SUPPORT HIM. >> I MEAN THIS TO ME IS THE UNBELIEVABLE. THE ME TOO MOVEMENT REQUIRES WE HEAR FROM THE WOMAN MADE THE ALLEGATIONS AND WE GIVE DUE PROCESS TO THE PERSON WHO WAS ACCUSED. AND YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE DECENCY, SENATOR BALDWIN, TO EVEN MEET WITH JUDGE KAVANAUGH. YOU HAD YOUR MIND MADE UP. WHERE IS THE DUE PROCESS IN THAT. COME UP WITH THE EXCUSE YOU CALLED THE WHITE HOUSE AND YOU TRIED AND SEVEN OR EIGHT TIMES. THAT INEFFECTIVE THAT YOU COULD NOT GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH SOMEBODY THAT IS GOING TO BE BEFORE YOU TO CONFIRM? THAT IS YOUR JOB, SENATOR BALDWIN. IT IS YOUR JOB AS A SENATOR THE SENATE HAS ADVISE AND CONSENT. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING THAT DONE. YOU DID NOT GET THAT DONE. I PUT THAT ONUS ON US. IT'S WRONG. THAT IS YOUR JOB. DO YOUR JOB. WE KNOW YOU HAVEN'T DONE YOUR JOB IN WASHINGTON AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT. YOU MISS HEARINGS. YOU MISS VOTES. PEOPLE WANT A REPRESENTATIVE WHO IS GOING TO BE THERE FOR THEM. WHO IS GOING TO STAND UP AND LISTEN AND FOLLOW THROUGH ON CONCERNS. YOU COULDN'T EVEN -- YOU COULDN'T EVEN MEET WITH THE JUDGE. >> I WOULD LIKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO -- IN YOUR CLOSING STATEMENT YOU WILL HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY. WE WILL GO ON WITH ANOTHER QUESTION. >> STAY ON THE KAVANAUGH CONFIRMATION HEARINGS FOR A LITTLE WHILE LONGER. >> SENATOR BALDWIN YOU SAID DR. FORD TESTIMONY WAS CREDIBLE IN YOUR EYES. >> PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS SAID IT'S A VERY SCARY TIME FOR YOUNG MEN IN AMERICA. THERE ARE OTHERS THAT FEAR THAT IT'S A TROUBLESOME TIME FOR WOMEN WITH LEGITIMATE SEXUAL HARASSMENT CLAIMS. >> WHO IS RIGHT, WHAT IS YOUR POSITION AND HOW DO WE SORT OUT COMPETING CLAIMS LIKE THAT? THIS IS THE A QUESTION FOR MISS VUKMIR FIRST. >> YES. THANK YOU FOR THAT. IT IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE AND THAT'S WHY I BELIEVE THAT THE ACTIONS OF SENATOR BALDWIN CHEAPEN THE ME TOO MOVEMENT. >> ME TOO IS WHEN THERE ARE SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN CORROBORATED AND NOTHING WAS CORROBORATED. I BELIEVE SOMETHING HAPPENED TO DR. FORD BUT I DON'T BELIEVE JUDGE KAVANAUGH WAS THE PERSON THAT PERPETRATED THAT ON HER. >> AND IT WAS CLEAR THERE WAS FLOG TO CORROBORATE THAT. I THINK THIS IS WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO LISTEN TO AND ACTUALLY FOLLOW THROUGH ON THE DUE PROCESS BUT SENATOR BALDWIN HAS SHOWN US SHE ISN'T INTERESTED IN DOING THAT. THERE A FAR MORE SERIOUS CASE OF ME TOO MOVEMENT IN THE NEIGHBORING STATE OF MINNESOTA. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL CANDIDATE ELLISON. AND SENATOR BALDWIN STANDS WITH HIM. SHE HAS BEEN ENDORSED BY HIM. OR HAS ENDORSED HIM AND HERE IS THE CASE WHERE THE ACCUSED PERSON, THE WOMAN WHO HAS PUT THE ALLEGATION FORWARD HAS SERIOUS REPORTS MEDICAL REPORTS SHOWING THE EXTENT TO WHICH SHE WAS ALLEGEDLY, ALLEGEDLY VICTIMIZED AND HURT AND BEATEN UP BY HER BOYFRIEND. SO IN THAT CASE A SERIOUS ME TOO MOVEMENT AND SENATOR BALDWIN YOU ARE THERE BUT YOU COULD NOT BE THERE FOR JUDGE KAVANAUGH. OPPORTUNITY FOR HIS MOMENT. >> YOUR TIME IS UP. NOW AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND SENATOR BALDWIN. >> CLEAN UP A BIT HERE. LYING AGAIN. AND THE WAY YOU MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A NOMINEE IS TO GO THROUGH THE NOMINATE ER WHICH IS THE WHITE HOUSE. >> I AM AMONG DOZENS OF SENATORS WHO WERE DENIED THE CHANCE TO MEET WITH HIM. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE GOING IN TO PROTECTION MODE BUT THAT IS THE TRUTH. AND WE CERTAINLY HAVE DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE OF THAT. >> I HAD THE BEST VOTING ATTENDANCE RECORD IN THE ENTIRE SENATE AND HOUSE DELEGATION AT 99.6%. WANTED TO NOTE THAT. >> THE QUESTION OWE HOW ABOUT -- THE QUESTION ASKED ABOUT THE PANEL. >> I WOULD JUST STATE NOT SHOWING UP TO SEVEN OUT OF 10 OPIOID TASK FORCE HEARINGS. >> THAT IS THE RECORD OF MY OPPONENT. BUT I WANT TO GET TO THE QUESTION HERE. >> LOTS OF REASONS PEOPLE DON'T SPEAK UP. >> SOME DON'T BELIEVE THEY WILL BE LISTENED TO. SOME DON'T BELIEVE THEY WILL BE BELIEVED. DR. FORD CAME FORWARD WITH GREAT LOSS TO HERSELF AND HER FAMILY. THREATENED. BUT SHE THOUGHT IT WAS HER CIVIC DUTY. BUT WE HAVE TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT AND WORLD WHERE PEOPLE CAN DO THAT. WHY DID SOME OF THE VICTIMS IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH TAKE DECADES TO SPEAK OUT. WHY DID DENNIS HASTERT VICTIMS TAKE DECADES. PEOPLE NEED -- >> THANK YOU AND NOW WE WILL MOVE OVER TO

INAUDIBLE

THANK YOU. >> LET'S TALK ABOUT ABORTION. SPECIFICALLY ROE V WADE. SINCE CONFIRMATION OF JUSTICE KAVANAUGH MORE CONVERSATION ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND ELSEWHERE ON WHAT WITH HAPPEN IF ROE V WADE WERE OVER TURNED. >> ACCORDING TO A JULY POLL FROM NBC NEWS AND THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, 71% OF AMERICANS DO NOT WANT IT OVER TURNED INCLUDING 52% OF REPUBLICANS. >> BUT IF IT IS, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR NEXT MOVE ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN WHO ARE LEFT WITH NO LEGAL MEANS FOR AN ABORTION. SENATOR BALDWIN THIS IS YOUR QUESTION FIRST. >> YES. I SUPPORT ROE V WADE. I AM PRO CHOICE AND I BELIEVE THAT A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONTROL HER OWN BODY AND MAKE HER OWN MEDICAL CHOICES AND I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS AREA WHERE GOVERNMENT OR VUKMIR SHOULD INTERVENE. WILL. >> MY OPPONENT'S POSITIONS ON THIS HAVE NOT ONLY BEEN SUPPORTING OVERTURNING OF ROW V. WADE. MANY COUPLES DESPERATELY WANT CHILDREN HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONCEIVE. IT WOULD INCLUDE BANISHING STEM CELL RESEARCH. CREATED PROMISING TREATMENTS AND CURES FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED IT. >> IT WOULD BAN ACCESS TO ABORTION IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES INCLUDING RAPE AND INCEST. >> THE FACT REMAINS IN THE STATE OF WISCONSIN IS THAT THERE IS NO REPEAL EVER OF THE LAWS EXISTED BEFORE ROE V WADE WAS DECIDED. SO IMMEDIATELY IN THE STATE OF WISCONSIN WE WOULD HAVE A SITUATION WHERE DOCTORS COULD BE ARRESTED AND WHERE WOMEN WOULD SADLY PROBABLY BEGIN TO LOSE THEIR LIVES AGAIN. IF THE RIGHT TO A SAFE AND LEGAL ABORTION WERE TAKEN AWAY. >> SO I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO FIGHT WOMEN'S HEALTH CHOICES. >> YOU ARE OUT OF TIME. >> AND AGAIN BY THE OPTION THE QUESTION WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF ROW VICE PRESIDENTIAL WADE WERE OVER TURNED NEXT STEP. >> 30 SECONDS TO RESPOND. >> WHAT WOULD YOU DO? >> SO CERTAINLY I WOULD TRY TO PASS LAWS THAT WOULD PROTECT A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO CONTROL HER OWN BODY. >> THE IMMEDIATE IMPACT IS ACTUALLY STATE LEVEL IMPACT AND IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE. FEDERAL LEVEL I WOULD CERTAINLY PRESS TO REINSTATE IT BY LEGISLATION. THAT SAID, WOMEN DEPENDING ON WHAT STATE THEY LIVE IN WOULD BE IN JEOPARDY OF NOT, NO LONGER BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THEIR BODIES. THANK YOU AND NOW FOR A RESPONSE MISS VUKMIR. THE QUESTION WAS WHAT WOULD YOU DO AFTER ROE V WADE OVER TURNED? >> I'M A NURSE AND I AS A NURSE 100% PRO LIFE. >> I CAN'T IMAGINE NOT BEING PRO LIFE. AND SENATOR BALDWIN WANTS TO TALK ABOUT EXTREME. SHE WANTS TO MAKE UP ALL KINDS OF THINGS ABOUT DIFFERENT PIECES OF LEGISLATION THAT I SUPPOSEDLY SUPPORT OR DON'T SUPPORT. >> AGAIN, EXTREME TO ME SENATOR BALDWIN IS SUPPORTING PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION. I SAID THIS TO YOU BEFORE, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW YOU PUT YOUR HEAD ON YOUR PILLOW AT NIGHT KNOWING THAT YOU SUPPORT THE MOST DESPICABLE ACT OF PULLING A BABY OUT OF THE MOTHER'S WOMB LIMB BY LIMB, SUCKING THE BRAIN OUT CRUSHING THE SKULL. MOST AMERICANS FIND THAT REPULSIVE. AND YET THIS IS WHAT SENATOR BALDWIN STANDS FOR AND HAVE HARD TIME EXPLAINING. OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE IT IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. >> I BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD SUPPORT LIFE. I HAVE ALWAYS SUPPORTED LIFE. >> I REMEMBER AS A YOUNG NURSE HOLDING A 24 WEEK OLD BABY IN MY HANDS AND I SAW THAT TINY HEART BEATING JUST BEATING SO QUICKLY UNDER THAT THIN CHEST WALL TRYING TO CLING ON TO LIFE. AND SENATOR BALDWIN BRIEFS THAT THAT'S A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE. THAT IS THE RIGHT TO KILL. IT'S WRONG. I WILL ALWAYS OPPOSE IT. I -- OUT OF TIME AND I HAVE TO INVOKE THE OPTION AGAIN. THE QUESTION WAS ABOUT WHAT WOULD BE DONE AFTER ROE V WADE. ABORTION IS WRONG. >> WHAT CAN I SAY. >> ABORTION IS WRONG. >> THERE ARE OTHER CHOICES. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE LOOK AT IT FROM THIS PERSPECTIVE. >> I HAVE MET PEOPLE WHO PARENTS DECIDED TO GIVE THEM UP FOR ADOPTION AND THEY ARE SO GRATEFUL THAT THOSE PANTS GAVE THEM LIFE INSTEAD OF ABORTING THEM. I DON'T KNOW WHY WE AREN'T TALKING ABOUT THESE OTHER OPTIONS THAT ARE AVAILABLE. >> SO MANY PEOPLE THAT WANT TO ADOPT CHILDREN. THANK YOU. YOUR TIME IS UP. I APPRECIATE. WE WILL MOVE ON. THE NEXT QUESTION GOES TO BEN. I'M SORRY. MELISSA. >> THANK YOU. >> TURN OUR ATTENTION TO IMMIGRATION IF WE CAN. >> WE ARE HERE IN AMERICA DAIRY LAND WHERE WISCONSIN DAIRY FARMERS RELY HEAVILY ON IMMIGRANT WORKERS MANY OF THEM UNDOCUMENTED. >> A STUDY SAYS THE LOSS OF IMMIGRANT WORKERS WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE STATE'S SIGNATURE INDUSTRY. YOU HAVE SAID THAT A WALL MUST BE BUILT BEFORE ANYTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT IMMIGRATION. THE WALL COULD BE YEARS AWAY. WHAT SHOULD FARMERS DO IN THE MEANTIME? >> I'M THE DAUGHTER OF GREEK IMMIGRANTS AND I SPENT A CHILDHOOD WATCHING MY AUNTS AND UNCLES COME TO THIS COUNTRY. >> I HELPED THEM STUDY FOR THEIR TEST. THEY ASSIMILATED IN TO THIS COUNTRY. THEY WANTED TO BECOME AMERICANS. IT WAS TO IMPORTANT TO THEM. TO BECOME AMERICANS. >> AND I FEEL VERY STRONGLY. >> I STILL FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT BORDER SECURITY, THAT WALL MUST BE BUILT. IT IS THE FIRST AND FOREMOST THING. I STAND WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP WHEN HE CALLS FOR THAT AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU AS I TRAVEL AROUND THIS GREAT STATE, PEOPLE STRONGLY FEEL THAT WAY. WHY ARE WE LETTING PEOPLE CROSS THIS BORDER PARTICIPATED IN THIS AMERICAN EXPERIENCE. I BELIEVE THAT SENATOR BALDWIN ON THE OTHER HAND WOULD PREFER OPEN BORDERS COMPLETE OPEN BORDERS. I DON'T BELIEVE IT. I KNOW IT. >> FROM SENATOR BALDWIN'S PERSPECTIVE, HER IDEA OF A BORDER WOULD BE A DRAWING A LINE IN THE DIRT WITH A WINK AND NOD. SHE SUPPORTS MS-13 GANG MEMBERS COMING ACROSS OUR BORDER. SHE DOESN'T EVEN VOTE FURCATED'S LAW. IMAGINE THE YOUNG BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN CALIFORNIA. SHE WAS MURDERED BY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT. >> WHO HAD SEVEN ARRESTS, SEVEN FELONIES AND HE HAD BEEN COME BACK FIVE TIMES. HE HAD BEEN SENT BACK TO MEXICO. >> AND THAT WOMAN DIED AT HIS HANDS. AND SENATOR BALDWIN VOTED AGAINST KATE'S LAW. THIS IS WRONG. PEOPLE WANT TO SEE AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. YOU ARE OUT OF TIME. BUT I HAVE TO INVOKE THE OPTION BECAUSE THE QUESTION WAS SPECIFICALLY ABOUT WHAT YOU WOULD DO FOR WISCONSIN FARMERS. WHO WERE IMPACTED BY THE LOSS OF IMMIGRANT LABOR. YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS TO RESPOND TO THAT SPECIFIC QUESTION. >> I STRONGLY BELIEVE IN ENFORCING OUR BORDERS AND LEGAL IMMIGRATION. >> AND I AM SORRY BUT IT IS SO IMPORTANT. IT IS NOT FAIR THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH A PROCESS, A PROCESS THAT IS A PROCESS THAT FOR YEARS PEOPLE HAVE GONE THROUGH TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PRIVILEGE OF BECOMING AN AMERICAN. >> NOW I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS WE CAN DO. OUR FARMERS AND MANY THINGS THAT WE HAVE DONE HERE IN WISCONSIN TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GO IN DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES. BUT IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE FOLLOW -- THANK YOU. >> WE DO HAVE A BROKEN IMMIGRATION SYSTEM. WE NEED SOLUTIONS NOT JUST POLITICAL ISSUES. I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC COLLEAGUES IN THE SENATE TO PASS A COMPREHENSIVE REFORM BILL IN 2013. >> UNFORTUNATELY THE HOUSE DID NOT TAKE IT UP. IT DEALT WITH BORDER SECURITY. 20,000 NEW BORDER PATROL AGENTS. IT DEALT WITH AGRICULTURAL VISA ISSUES LIKE THE ONE I WILL RETURN TO IN A SECOND THAT AFFECTS DAIRY. IT DEALT WITH PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP FOR OUR DREAMERS AS WELL AS OTHERS. >> AND IT PASSED WITH 68 BIPARTISAN VOTES. WE CAN DO IT. >> WE LOST 500 DAIRY FARMS LAST YEAR IN WISCONSIN. >> WE ARE ON THE PACE TO OUTNUMBER THAT SIGNIFICANTLY THIS YEAR. THERE IS A LOT OF REASONS BUT UNCERTAIN AND UNSTABLE WORK FORCE ONE OF THEM. >> AND MOST DAIRY FARMS COULDN'T LAST A WEEK WITHOUT THEIR WORKERS. >> ONE OF THE THINGS WE FIXED IN THAT BILL I REFERRED TO WAS THE FACT THAT MOST AGRICULTURAL VISA PROGRAMS FOR PLANTING SEASON AND HARVESTING SEASON BUT WE KNOW DAIRY COWS NEED TO BE MILKED EVERYDAY AND EVERYDAY OF THE YEAR. AND SO SEASONAL VISAS DON'T WORK. >> ONE OF THE THINGS WE SHOULD FIX AND I FIXED BEFORE. UNFORTUNATELY MY OPPONENT WON'T EVEN LOOK AT THIS UNTIL THEY BUILD A WALL. >> YOUR TIME IS UP. THANK YOU. >> WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT QUESTION. GOES TO BEN. >> LET'S STAY ON IMMIGRATION. LET'S TALK SPECIFIC ABOUT THE PRACTICE OF FAMILY SEPARATION ON THE SOUTHWEST BORDER. THE WASHINGTON POST REPORTED YESTERDAY THAT TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS ACTIVELY CONSIDERING A PLAN THAT COULD AGAIN SEPARATE PARENTS FROM CHILDREN AT THE BORDER. IT WOULD GIVE FAMILIES SEEKING ASYLUM A CHOICE AFTER SPENDING 20 DAYS IN DETENTION. >> STAY TOGETHER IN DETENTION OR ALLOW CHILDREN TO BE SEPARATED AND TAKEN TO A GOVERNMENT SHELTER. SENATOR BALDWIN DO YOU SUPPORT THIS PLAN? >> I DON'T. >> I BELIEVE THAT FRANKLY THERE HAS BEEN ADMINISTRATION FAILURE ON THIS ISSUE TIME AND TIME AGAIN. LIKE MY OPPONENT, THIS SEEMS TO BE MORE ATTRACTIVE AS A POLITICAL ISSUE THAT NO ONE WANTS TO GET DOWN AND SOLVE. JUST LIKE MY OPPONENT TRUMP WON'T TALK ABOUT MUCH ELSE UNTIL HE GETS HIS WALL. >> I TRULY BELIEVE THAT WE NEED COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM. WHEN WE WERE SEEING BABIES SNATCHED FROM THEIR MOTHERS AND FATHERS, IT WAS HARROWING FOR ALL OF US TO MUCH WA. IMAGINE THE FAMILIES INVOLVED. >> A FEW YEARS AGO DURING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WE HAD A DIFFERENT SITUATION ALSO INVOLVING CHILDREN. >> WE HAD UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN COMING TO OUR BORDER. WITHOUT THEIR PARENTS. AND I ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS THEN ABOUT HOW WE HANDLE A CRISIS SUCH AS THIS. HOW WE MAKE SURE WE HAVE FOSTER FAMILIES OR RELATIVES THAT WE CAN PLACE WITH. HOW WE MAKE SURE THAT HUMANE CONDITIONS. WE DON'T PUT CHILDREN IN CAGES. AND WE CAN'T EVER LOOK AT DOING THAT AGAIN. >> HIS CHANGES ON ASYLUM ARE DESPICABLE. >> WE ARE A COUNTRY THAT WELCOMES IMMIGRANTS AND WE SHOULD ALTHOUGH BE THAT COUNTRY. WE CAN DO MUCH BETTER THAN THIS. >> WELL, IT'S INTERESTING TO HEAR SENATOR BALDWIN TALK ABOUT HOW OUTRAGED SHE IS ABOUT CHILDREN BEING SEPARATED AND WE SHOULD BE. IT'S WRONG. >> BUT WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE WHEN SAME THING WAS HAPPENING UNDER THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION. >> I NEVER HEARD FROM YOU. NEVER HEARD A WORD. YOU NEVER DID ANYTHING BUT NOW BECAUSE IT IS PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU WANT TO GO ON THE ATTACK. NOTHING THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL DO THAT YOU WILL SUPPORT. IT'S OBVIOUS THIS IS WHAT THIS PARTY IS ALL ABOUT. JUST DELAY, DISTRACT, DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN OBSTRUCT. >> AND YOU ARE OBSTRUCTING A PROCESS THAT WILL ENFORCE OUR LEGAL SYSTEM. I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE A WALL. THAT WE BUILD THAT WALL THAT WE DO CREATE A PATHWAY FOR THOSE WHO ARE HERE. SENATOR BALDWIN, WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS YOU ARE JUST WILLING TO LET PEOPLE JUMP THE LINE AND UNTIL WE TAKE CARE OF OUR BORDER SECURITY, PEOPLE WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE IN THIS COUNTRY. AND YOU WANT OF COURSE WITH YOUR COMPLETE GOVERNMENT TAKE OVER OF HEALTH CARE, TO THEN HAVE THESE PEOPLE BE PART OF THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM AS WELL. WHERE ARE WE GOING TO FUND THIS. THERE IS TO MUCH THAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS SYSTEM AND THE FACT THAT YOU ARE JUST TO WILLING, SO WILLING TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO COME ACROSS OUR BORDER AND YOU ARE OUT OF TIME JUMP THE LINE. >> YOU ARE OUT OF TIME. >> WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON TO ONE LAST QUESTION FOR WHICH YOU EACH HAVE 90 SECONDS. >> I BELIEVE THAT GOES TO JEFF. >> AT THE END OF THE FIRST DEBATE YOU WERE BOTH ASKED THREE IDEAS TO REDUCE GUN VIOLENCE IN THE NATION. >> YOU ANSWERED YOU SUPPORTED THE SECOND AMENDMENT AS MEANS OF SELF PROTECTION. AND BETTERMENT AL HEALTH CARE. SENATOR BALDWIN, YOU SAID A BUMP STOCK BAN. CRACK DOWN ON STRAW PURCHASES AND UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS. >> WOULD YOU SUPPORT ANY OF THOSE IDEAS BUMP STOCK BAN, CRACK DOWN ON STRAW PURCHASES OR UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS OR DO YOU HAVE OTHER SPECIFIC IDEAS BESIDES THOSE THAT YOU MENTIONED ALREADY IN THE FIRST DEBATE? >> THANK YOU. I AM A STRONG SUPPORTER OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT. I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT IT IS SOMETHING THAT OUR FOUNDING FATHERS PUT SO HIGH UP ON THEIR LIST, THEY MADE IT THE SECOND AMENDMENT. AS SUCH I BELIEVE IT'S IMPORTANT PEOPLE HAVE THE ABILITY TO PROTECT THEMSELVES. WHEN MY LIFE IS THREATENED THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I DECIDED TO PURCHASE A GUN TO PROTECT MY FAMILY. AND PEOPLE HAVE TO BE GIVEN THAT OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT. SENATOR BALDWIN WANTS TO TAKE AWAY THOSE ABILITIES. SHE WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH A VARIETY OF PROPOSALS THAT WILL CURTAIL OUR SECOND AMENDMENT. SHE TALKS A GOOD GAME. SHE TALKED ABOUT BEING A GUN OWNER AND SHE TALKED ABOUT THE FACT SHE SUPPORTS THE SECOND AMENDMENT. SHE MAKES FUN OF THE NRA WHEN SHE IS IN WASHINGTON. SHE VOTES FOR AN ASSAULT WEAPON BAN. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS, YES, I BELIEVE THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE CAN DO. I SUPPORT GETTING RID OF THE BUMP STOCK. ABSOLUTELY. >> I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE ALSO HAVE CAREFULLY CRAFTED RED FLAG LAWS THAT LOOK AT THE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND WE LOOK AT THE REPORTING ISSUES THAT WERE LOST IN MANY OF THESE CASES. INFORMATION VITAL INFORMATION WAS NOT PASSED ON TO LAW ENFORCEMENT OR BETWEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT. AS LONG AS WE CAREFULLY CRAFT IT THERE IS OVERSIGHT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WILL GO A LONG WAY TOWARD PREVENTS THESE THINGS FROM HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE. >> LET'S LOOK AT ALL OF THESE CASES AND WHAT ACTUALLY CAUSED THE PROBLEMS AND INSTEAD OF TRYING TO TAKE AWAY OUR RIGHTS WHICH IS WHAT SENATOR BALDWIN. >> RESPONSE. >> WELL, YOU ARE CORRECT. I DID PROPOSE THOSE THREE COMMON SENSE SAFETY MEASURES. >> AND I DO NOT BELIEVE ANY OF THEM RUN AFOUL OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT OR I WOULDN'T HAVE PROPOSED THEM BECAUSE INDEED I AM A GUN OWNER. I RESPECT THE SECOND AMENDMENT. BUT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW ANY CANDIDATE FOR ANY LEVEL OFFICE CAN WITNESS PARKLAND AND NEW TOWN AND ORLANDO AND OAK CREEK WISCONSIN. >> AND NOT BE, FEEL COMPELLED TO GET BETTER SOLUTIONS. >> AND I DON'T MEAN THINGS LIKE ARMING TEACHERS. I MEAN THINGS LIKE MAKING SURE THAT THERE ARE NO PURCHASES AND NO EXCHANGES TO THE EXTENT WE CAN REQUIRE THAT DON'T GET A COMPREHENSIVE BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION. >> I BELIEVE THAT STRAW PURCHASING IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST ISSUES THAT LEADS TO SOME OF THE LESS HIGH PROFILE SHOOTINGS WE HEAR ABOUT BUT YET THINGS THAT ARE DEVASTATING OUR COMMUNITIES. >> AND I BELIEVE IT'S A NO BRAINER TO GET RID OF BUMP STOCKS AFTER WE SAW WHAT HAPPENED IN LAS VEGAS. BIPARTISAN AGREEMENT AND WE OUGHT TO GET TO THE -- YOUR TIME IS UP. GOING TO GO NOW TO INDIVIDUAL 30 SECOND QUESTIONS FOR WHICH WE DON'T HAVE REBUTTAL UNLESS YOU ATTACK EACH OTHER. GOING TO START WITH YOUR 30 SECOND QUESTION. >> IN THE INTEREST OF BIPARTISAN, SENATOR BALDWIN IS THERE ISSUE ON WHICH YOU AGREE WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP? THANK YOU FOR THAT. >> ACTUALLY THERE IS QUITE A FEW ISSUES ON WHICH I AGREE. I WOULD START WITH THE FACT THAT THE PRESIDENT CAME TO WISCONSIN TO SIGN HIS EXECUTIVE ORDER ON BUY AMERICA. I TALKED TO THE PRESIDENT BEFORE HE CAME AND SAID I WAS WORKING ON BUY AMERICA. LEGISLATION AND HE SAID I BACK IT 100%. >> JUST LAST WEEK I PASSED A BILL THAT ADDS TO BUY AMERICA. >> I ALSO AGREE WITH THE PRESIDENT ON AN APPROACH TO RENEGOTIATING TRADE AGREEMENTS THAT HAVE NOT SERVED OUR WORKING PEOPLE WELL. THANK YOU. >> TIME IS UP. >> ALL RIGHT. HOLD THAT ONE. GO ON TO CHRIS. >> HOW ABOUT A SIMILAR QUESTION THEN FOR MISS VUKMIR. ARE THERE POLICIES IN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION THAT YOU DISAGREE WITH? >> I AM PLEASED WITH HOW THE PRESIDENT IS WORKING SO FAR AND WORKING SO HARD FOR AMERICA. >> IN THE LAST TWO YEARS THAT HE HAS BEEN IN. I DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS PRESIDENT FAIL. I WANT TO SEE THIS PRESIDENT SUCCEED. I THINK THE PRESIDENT IS DOING AMAZING JOB. STANDING UP TO FOREIGN LEADERS. PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH. WHEN I THINK ABOUT HOW OUR PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION, PRESIDENT OBAMA BOWED TO FOREIGN LEADERS. >> TIME IS UP AND YOU DIDN'T ANSWER ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS ANY SUBJECT ON WHICH YOU DISAGREE. LET THE RECORD SHOW THAT. WE WILL MOVE ON. GIVING A PRESIDENT A "A." >> YOUR TIME IS UP. PLENTY OF TALK AND PLENTY OF CAMPAIGN ADS IN THIS RACE AS WELL. >> SENATOR BALDWIN YOUR OFFICE TOOK NO ACTION FOR MONTHS IN A REPORT DETAILING THE OVER PRESCRIPTION OF OPIATES AT THE THE VA YOU SAID YOU TOOK RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT. WHAT DO YOU WISH YOU WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY IN YOUR HANDLING OF THE SITUATION AT THE VA? >> I LEARNED ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE VA WAS OVER PRESCRIBING. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK ACTION. I WORKED ALONG WITH THE FAMILY OF A VETERAN WHO DIED AT THE VA. >> THAT FAMILY MOM AND DAD SAID WE ARE GOING TO OWN -- OUR TRAGEDY TO HOPE FOR OTHER VETERANS. >> THE VFW, I -- YOUR TIME IS UP. PASS LEGISLATION TO FIX IT. >> NEXT QUESTION. THANK YOU. >> WE ARE GOING TO STAY WITH THE VA. THE FAMILY OF JASON WHO DIED OF THAT OVERDOSE AT THE VA SUPPORTS SENATOR BALDWIN'S CAMPAIGN. THE FAMILY HAS ALSO CALLED THE AD THAT YOUR CAMPAIGN IS AIRING WHICH MENTIONS JASON AS SHAMEFUL. >> WHY HAVE YOU CONTINUED TO AIR THAT AD? >> MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE FAMILY. AND THEY ARE TO BE COMMENDED. COMMENDED FOR FORGIVING SENATOR BALDWIN FOR HER LACK OF ACTION AT WHAT HAPPENED THERE. >> BUT IT WAS MORE THAN JASON. WHO IS AFFECTED. COUNTLESS VETERANS AFFECTED AND ARE STILL AFFECTED TODAY. BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN OVER PRESCRIBED. 14 AND 15 DRUGS. THE DRUGS LEAPING OUT IN TO THE COMMUNITY AND SENATOR BALDWIN JUMPED IN TO ACTION WHEN IT APPEARED THAT SHE WAS FOUND OUT THAT IS WRONG. CLOSING STATEMENTS. SO THE CLOSING STATEMENTS ARE TWO MINUTES IN LENGTH. >> THE COIN TOSS SAYS THAT VUKMIR WILL GO FIRST. I JUST GIVE YOU A LITTLE ADVICE. THE TIMER IS GOING TO SHOW YOU A 30. JUST A QUIRK OF THE TIME I WANT YOU BOTH TO KNOW THAT NOT TO BE RATTLED. I GOT YOUR BACK. PLEASE START. >> THANK YOU FOR SPONSORING THIS DEBATE AND I'M SURE THAT THE LISTENERS AND VIEWERS TODAY CAN SEE A VERY STARK DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SENATOR BALDWIN AND MYSELF. SENATOR BALDWIN IS SOMEBODY WHO IS EXTREME, REPRESENT ALSO THE EXTREME OF HER PARTY. SENATOR BALDWIN LOOKS TO GOVERNMENT FOR ALL OF HER SOLUTIONS. I AM A MOM WITH A CAUSE. JUST GOT IN TO ACTION BECAUSE I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE OVER REACH OF GOVERNMENT AND MY DAUGHTER'S CLASSROOM. PEOPLE IN WISCONSIN ARE LOOKING FOR LEADERS. UNDERSTAND THE DAY-TO-DAY CHALLENGES FACING FAMILIES. >> I GREW UP IN THAT BIG FAMILY TEACHING MY AUNTS AND UNCLES TO STUDY ENGLISH SO SHE CAN ASSIMILATE. I WORKED MY WAY THROUGH COLLEGE. AND I TAUGHT MY CHILDREN HOW TO READ BECAUSE SCHOOL WASN'T DOING IT. I WANTED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I JUMPED IN TO ACTION AND MADE A DIFFERENCE. >> I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO TRY TO MAKE ENDS MEET AND WORRY ABOUT GETTING YOUR KIDS TO COLLEGE. >> SENATOR BALDWIN DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THESE DAY-TO-DAY STRUGGLES. SENATOR IS FAR MORE COMFORTABLE WITH HER FRIEND IN THE HAMPTON AN A FISH FRY IN WISCONSIN. WHEN A VETERAN DIED AT THE VA, HER ONLY REACTION WAS TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT HER OWN JOB. THAT IS THE A BETRAYAL OF WISCONSIN VALUES. I HAVE BEEN A NURSE MY WHOLE LIFE. I HAVE TAKEN GREAT PRIDE IN TAKING CARE OF MY FAMILIES AND MY PATIENTS. I HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR LIVES. I WANT TO TAKE THAT SAME PASSION TO WASHINGTON. AND REPRESENT THE PEOPLE AND I HAVE DONE HERE IN WISCONSIN. I THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I AM ASKING FOR YOUR VOTE ON NOVEMBER 6. >> THANK YOU. >> SENATOR. >> WELL, I WANT TO ALSO THANK OUR HOSTS, OUR REPORTERS AND MODERATOR AND THE VIEWERS WHO HAVE TUNED IN THIS EVENING. IT IS MY HONOR TO SERVE AS YOUR UNITED STATES SENATOR. BUT I THINK THAT THIS DEBATE SHOWS YOU THE CLEAR CHOICE IN FRONT OF YOU. >> DO YOU WANT A SENATOR WHO WILL STAND UP FOR WISCONSIN OR DO YOU WANT A SENATOR WHO IS GOING TO STAND UP WITH THE SPECIAL INTERESTS AS SHE DID REPEATEDLY WITH BIG INSURANCE COMPANIES IN HER VOTES, IN HER 16 YEARS AS POLITICIAN. IN THE WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE. >> YOU KNOW, I HAVE NEVER BEEN AFRAID TO STAND UP TO BIG POWERFUL INTERESTS. I STOOD UP TO WALL STREET WHEN I INTRODUCED THE BROKAW ACT. I STOOD UP TO MULTI-NATIONAL CORPORATIONS FIGHTING FOR BUY AMERICA POLICIES FOR OUR INFRASTRUCTURE THAT HELPS BUSINESSES LIKE FOUNDRY. MAKES MANHOLE COVERS AND HAS FOR 147 YEARS. >> I STOOD UP TO BIG PHARMA WHEN THEY JACKED UP PRICES ON ALL SORTS OF LIFE SAVING DRUGS WHETHER IT BE THE EPIPEN. ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE THINGS THAT MY OPPONENT HAS NOT. >> I THINK SOME OF THE KEY DIFFERENCES THAT WE DIDN'T GET TO TONIGHT INCLUDE THE FACT THAT MY OPPONENT SUPPORTS A TAX PLAN THAT GIVES 83% OF ITS BENEFITS TO THE TOP 1% WEALTHIEST PEOPLE AND BIG POWERFUL CORPORATIONS. ONLY THE REMAINDER TO HARD WORKING FAMILIES MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES. HADN'T BEEN THE OPPOSITE WAY THAT BILL WOULD HAVE HAD MY SUPPORT. BUT WHEN YOU MAKE DECISION TO GIVE ONE CORPORATION A TAX BREAK THAT IS BIGGER THAN THE COMBINATION OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY IN THE STATE OF WISCONSIN, THAT'S JUST WRONG. THEN THERE IS PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. I WILL ALWAYS FIGHT FOR COVERAGE FOR PEOPLE WITH PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. FIGHT TO MAKE HEALTH CARE MORE AFFORDABLE. THE CHOICE IS CLEAR. I ASK FOR YOUR VOTE. >> I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE CANDIDATES. THANK OUR PANEL AND OF COURSE THANK YOU FOR TUNING IN. JUST TO REMIND YOU TO VOTE ON NOVEMBER 6. >> THANK YOU FOR JOINING US FOR TONIGHT'S DEBATE. OPPORTUNITY FOR CITIZENS TO HEAR FROM THE LEADING CANDIDATES IN A NONPARTISAN FORUM. THIS DEBATE SPONSORED BY OUR FOUNDATION FROM A GRANT OF INDEPENDENT COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. >> OUR SINCERE THANKS TO THE RADIO AND TV STATION WORK TOGETHER TO PRODUCE AND AIR THIS BROADCAST. >> ELECTION DAY IS THE TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 6. EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT AS AN AMERICAN AND VOTE. AS ALWAYS, OUR DUTY TO BRING YOU THE RESULTS.
