[00:02:07] DEBATES ON THE FIRST SATURDAY IN THE KANSAS STATE FAIR.
[00:02:11] RIGHT NOW THE FOCUS IS ON THE U.S. SENATORIAL DEBATE.
[00:02:14] BEFORE WE GO FURTHER, WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR SPONSORS FOR
[00:02:18] TODAY'S SENATORIAL DEBATE AND
[00:02:21] THAT INCLUDES THE KANSAS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, KANSAS CORN,
[00:02:26] CO-BANK CREDIT ASSOCIATION OF
[00:02:28] KANSAS AND AARP OF KANSAS.
[00:02:32] ALSO FOR THOSE OF YOU AT HEARTLAND CREDIT UNION PAVILION,
[00:02:37] TAKE NOTE WE WILL BE ENDING EARLY TODAY AT 2:55.
[00:02:40] RON DIAMOND WAS GRACIOUS ENOUGH
[00:02:43] TO GIVE UP HIS 1:00 SLOT AT THE PAVILION.
[00:02:47] HE IS SCHEDULED TO COME UP AT 3:00.
[00:02:50] AT THE END OF THE DEBATE, I IMPLORE ALL OF YOU WHO ARE NOT
[00:02:53] STAYING TO SEE RON DIAMOND,
[00:02:56] PLEASE EXIT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO MR. DIAMOND HAS HIS FULLY
[00:03:00] ALLOTTED TIME.
[00:03:14] . BEFORE WE. CAME ON STAGE, TWO COIN FLIPS TOOK PLACE, THE FIRST ONE WAS TO DETERMINE WHICH OPTION THEY WOULD CHOOSE IF THE CANDIDATE WON THE TOSS, THEY HAVE THE
[00:03:18] CHOICE OF DOING THEIR OPENING STATEMENT FIRST FOR DOING THE CLOSING STATEMENT LAST. THEN THE OTHER CANDIDATE WOULD HAVE THE CHOICE OF WHAT THE FIRST CANDIDATE DID NOT TAKE.
[00:03:22] THE FLIP WAS WON BY SENATOR MARSHALL.
[00:03:25] HE CHOSE HIS CLOSING STATEMENT LAST.
[00:03:29] THE SECOND COIN FLIP DETERMINED THE CHOICE OF THE ORDER OF WHO
[00:03:31] ANSWERED THE FIRST QUESTION AND
[00:03:35] THAT FLIP WAS WON BY MR. HAMILTON SO HE WILL ANSWER THE FIRST QUESTION.
[00:03:42] THEN WE WILL ROTATE IN ORDER THROUGH THE QUESTIONS AS WELL.
[00:03:46] AS FAR AS THE DEBATE IS CONCERNED, WE HAVE MEMBERS OF
[00:03:50] THE MEDIA WILL ASK QUESTIONS ON
[00:03:51] A ROTATING BASIS.
[00:03:55] FIRST, THE ANCHOR AT KWCH TV IN
[00:04:00] WICHITA,.
[00:04:11] , PLEASE WELCOME MICHAEL SHRINKING. NEXT IS SENIOR REPORTER AT KANSAS REFLECTOR, PLEASE WELCOME TIM CARPENTER.
[00:04:17] AND FINALLY, THE EDITOR OF HIGH
[00:04:21] PLAINS JOURNAL, PLEASE WELCOME
[00:04:23] DAVID MEYER -- DAVID ORT MEYER.
[00:04:27] WE ALWAYS HAVE AN AG JOURNALIST
[00:04:30] DUE IN PART BECAUSE AGRICULTURE IS THE NUMBER ONE INDUSTRY IN
[00:04:34] THE STATE OF KANSAS. AS FAR AS THE DEBATE FORMAT, EACH CANDIDATE WILL HAVE TWO
[00:04:38] MINUTES FOR AN OPENING STATEMENT.
[00:04:41] AFTER THAT, THE MEDIA PANEL WILL DIRECT QUESTIONS TO THE CANDIDATES.
[00:04:45] THE CANDIDATE WHO ANSWERS THE
[00:04:46] QUESTION WILL HAVE 90 SECONDS TO
[00:04:49] RESPOND AND THE OTHER CANDIDATE WILL HAVE 90 SECONDS TO RESPOND AS WELL.
[00:04:53] THE CANDIDATE WHO ANSWERS FIRST
[00:04:56] WILL HAVE 45 SECONDS A REBUTTAL TIME. THIS WILL ALTERNATE THROUGHOUT
[00:05:00] THE DEBATE.
[00:05:06] HERE'S ONE THING I WILL TELL YOU. IF THE CANDIDATE IS INTERRUPTED BY THE CROWD TO THE POINT THAT THEY HAVE TO STOP, THE
[00:05:09] TIMEKEEPER AND MODERATOR HAVE THE DISCRETION TO ADD ADDITIONAL
[00:05:11] TIME FOR THE CANDIDATE.
[00:05:14] IT IS OUR CALL AND OUR JUDGMENT.
[00:05:20] WE WANT TO MAKE SURE FOR EACH SIDE, YOU HAVE PLENTY OF
[00:05:24] SUPPORTERS IN ATTENDANCE, BUT YOU ALSO HAVE VOTERS THAT MAY BE
[00:05:27] UNDECIDED RIGHT NOW AND THEY WANT TO HEAR FROM BOTH CANDIDATES.
[00:05:31] OF COURSE YOU CAN HEAR -- CHEER FOR THE CANDIDATE BUT ALSO
[00:05:35] UNDERSTAND YOU MAY BE TAKING AWAY FROM THE UNDECIDED VOTER
[00:05:38] FROM HEARING THE CANDIDATES THEMSELVES. THE TIMEKEEPER TODAY IS KEVIN
[00:05:43] KING, HIS DIRECTOR AT KWCH TV IN WICHITA.
[00:05:48] HE WILL HAVE PRINTED SIGNS THAT SAY 30 SECONDS, 15 SECONDS, AND
[00:05:58] STOP. IF THE CANDIDATE GOES OVER TIME, THE MODERATOR WILL STATE THE CANDIDATE IS OUT OF TIME AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO UNTIL THE
[00:06:01] CANDIDATE STOPS SPEAKING.
[00:06:05] AT THE END OF THE DEBATE, THE CANDIDATES WILL BE ALLOWED CLOSING STATEMENTS OF TWO
[00:06:08] MINUTES IN THE ORDER DETERMINED
[00:06:12] BEFORE THE START OF THE DEBATE. I HAVE DONE ENOUGH SPEAKING.
[00:06:16] YOU HEARD ENOUGH RULES. WHAT DO YOU SAY WE GET TO THE DEBATE?
[00:06:19] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
[00:06:24] NOW ALL WE NEED ARE TWO CANDIDATES.
[00:06:28] HOPEFULLY THEY HEARD THAT CUE.
[00:06:37] THERE IS ONE, AND THERE'S TWO.
[00:06:44] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
[00:06:48] LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LET ME FIRST INTRODUCE THE REPUBLICAN INCUMBENT, DR. ROGER MARSHALL.
[00:06:58] [CROWD BOOING AND PL --
[00:07:07] APPLAUDING] >>>> AND LET ME ALSO INTRODUCE
[00:07:08] THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE,
[00:07:15] REVEREND ADAM HAMILTON.
[00:07:23] SENATOR MARSHALL WON THE TOSS AND DECIDED TO DO HIS CLOSING STATEMENT LAST.
[00:07:26] WE WILL START WITH ADAM HAMILTON WITH HIS OPENING STATEMENT OF TWO MINUTES.
[00:07:31] REV. HAMILTON: MY NAME IS ADAM
[00:07:35] HAMILTON AND MY FAMILY MOVED TO KANSAS IN 1870 TWO DICKENSON
[00:07:38] COUNTY AND FOUNDED A TOWN CALLED POPE, WHICH I REALLY LOVE.
[00:07:43] THE CATHOLIC CHURCH THEY BUILT IN THE 1870'S IS STILL STANDING.
[00:07:46] MY FAMILY ENDED UP MOVING TO THE PRAIRIE VILLAGE AREA AND THAT'S
[00:07:50] WHERE I GREW UP. I HAD A CHANCE TO MARRY MY HIGH
[00:07:53] SCHOOL SWEETHEART.
[00:08:00] WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED 44 YEARS. SHE IS HERE TODAY, WE HAVE TWO CHILDREN, AND A GRANDDAUGHTER
[00:08:02] WHO IS THE LOVE OF OUR LIFE. SHE HERE TODAY. STELLA, STAND UP SO PEOPLE COULD
[00:08:06] SEE WHO YOU ARE. I HAVE BEEN A PASTOR FOR 38
[00:08:10] YEARS. I LOVE MY JOB AS A PASTOR AND I
[00:08:14] SPENT 38 YEARS PREACHING AND
[00:08:14] TEACHING THE SCRIPTURES, AND
[00:08:18] TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A DECENT
[00:08:20] HUMAN BEING?HOW ARE
[00:08:25] WE TO LIVE OUR LIVES TO LOVE GOD AND FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS? THIS MORNING AS AN EVERY MORNING
[00:08:27] FOR THE LAST 40 PLUS YEARS, I
[00:08:36] SLIPPED DOWN TO MY KNEES WHEN I GOT OUT OF BED AND SAID, HERE I AM, PLEASE USE ME. HELP ME TO BLESS OTHER PEOPLE, DO YOUR WILL, HELP ME TO KNOW
[00:08:39] YOUR WILL AND LIVE IT, HELP ME TO BE SALT AND LIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD AND THE PEOPLE GATHERED HERE, ROGER
[00:08:43] MARSHALL AS WELL. THAT'S AN ESSENTIAL PART OF WHO
[00:08:44] I AM.
[00:08:49] MY GRANDDAUGHTER IS PART OF THE REASON. PART OF THE REASON IS AS I LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN WASHINGTON, I THOUGHT THIS IS NOT WHAT I'VE BEEN PREACHING FOR
[00:08:53] THE LAST 38 YEARS.
[00:08:58] THERE IS AN INDECENCY IN WASHINGTON, A CRUELTY IN WASHINGTON. THERE ARE POLICIES HURTING
[00:09:01] PEOPLE BACK IN KANSAS.
[00:09:04] I GUESS THE QUESTION I WOULD ASK YOU IS, ARE YOU HAPPY WITH HOW THINGS ARE IN WASHINGTON?
[00:09:08] [CROWD SCREAMING "NO"]
[00:09:14] REV. HAMILTON: IF YOUR ANSWER IS YES, YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ROGER MARSHALL.
[00:09:17] IF NOT, I WANT YOU TO CONSIDER VOTING FOR ME.
[00:09:22] IN WASHINGTON WE SEE A HOST OF THINGS.
[00:09:25] GASOLINE PRICES, RECORD GASOLINE
[00:09:27] PRICES, RECORD DIESEL PRICES, A
[00:09:30] CRUELTY AND INHUMANITY IN THE
[00:09:31] WAY WE TREAT FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS.
[00:09:35] THAT'S NOT WHO WE ARE AS AMERICANS AND NOT WHO WE ARE AS KANSANS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
[00:09:40] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
[00:09:42] >> ALL RIGHT.
[00:09:46] SENATOR MARSHALL, YOUR TWO MINUTE OPENING STATEMENT.
[00:09:48] SEN. MARSHALL: THANK YOU AND WELCOME EVERYBODY TO THE KANSAS
[00:09:51] STATE FAIR.
[00:09:55] JUST LAST WEEKEND, MY WIFE AND I WERE CHATTING AND SHE SUGGESTED
[00:09:59] I SHARE WITH THE CROWD WHY WE MOVED GREAT BAND.
[00:10:05] I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU -- I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU --
[00:10:09] [CROWD YELLING AND BOOING]
[00:10:17] SEN. MARSHALL: NOW I DON'T KNOW
[00:10:21] ABOUT YOU BUT I THINK IT'S GOOD ADVICE TO TAKE YOUR WIFE'S ADVICE.
[00:10:24] WITHIN A WEEK OF EACH OTHER, MY
[00:10:27] WIFE AND I GRADUATED FROM NURSING SCHOOL AND MEDICAL SCHOOL.
[00:10:30] FOUR YEARS LATER, SHE IS AN ACCOMPLISHED NEONATAL AND
[00:10:36] INTENSIVE CARE NURSE. WE FINISHED OUR RESIDENCY AND
[00:10:38] WE'VE MADE THE TYPICAL INTERVIEWS ACROSS BIG CITIES.
[00:10:41] WE WERE OFFERED MULTIPLE JOBS BUT WHEN WE CAME TO GREAT BEND,
[00:10:45] SOMETHING WAS DIFFERENT THERE. THEY TALKED ABOUT SCHOOLS,
[00:10:48] CHURCHES AND THEIR HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM AS OPPOSED TO
[00:10:52] BIG-CITY GOLF COURSES AND SHOPPING MALLS.
[00:10:54] WHAT WE FOUND OUT THERE, WHAT WE
[00:10:59] FOUND OUT WAS THAT THE OB/GYN WAS GOING TO RETIRE AND I WOULD
[00:11:02] BE THE ONLY OB/GYN IN THE MIDDLE OF 65,000 PEOPLE.
[00:11:11] [CROWD YELLING]
[00:11:16] OVER THE NEXT 25 YEARS, WE
[00:11:18] DELIVERED 5000 BABIES AND RAISED FOUR CHILDREN.
[00:11:26] AND ONE OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS TO DO WAS TO COME VISIT THE STATE FAIR.
[00:11:30] THIS MORNING AS WE WERE WALKING
[00:11:31] AROUND THE STATE FAIR, IN THE
[00:11:34] CATTLE PENS, I THOUGHT TO
[00:11:38] MYSELF, IN A STATE WITH MORE CATTLE THAN PEOPLE, WOULDN'T IT
[00:11:42] BE A CRYING SHAME IF WE HAD A SENATOR WHO SAID WE SHOULD
[00:11:45] REPENT FROM EATING BEEF?
[00:11:48] [SCATTERED APPLAUSE AND BOOING]
[00:11:57] REV. HAMILTON: IN TODAY'S DEBATE, YOU WILL SEE MY OPPONENT
[00:11:58] IS TOO WOKE, HE IS TOO WEAK --
[00:12:08] [CROWD BOOS]
[00:12:12] [LAUGHTER]
[00:12:15] HE'S TOO WEAK AND HE DOESN'T STAND FOR ANYTHING AND HE TRIES TO BE ALL THINGS FOR ALL PEOPLE.
[00:12:20] YOU MAY NOT AGREE WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE TO SAY TODAY --
[00:12:23] >> SENATOR, YOU ARE OUT OF TIME.
[00:12:28] SEN. MARSHALL: YOU WILL KNOW WHERE I STAND AND BY THE END OF THIS DEBATE, YOU KNOW THAT I
[00:12:31] WILL FIGHT FOR YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR FREEDOMS AS WELL. THANK YOU.
[00:12:37] [CROWD BOOING]
[00:12:42] >> ALL RIGHT. WE ARE GOING TO THE FIRST
[00:12:48] QUESTION AND AS DETERMINED BY THE COIN FLIP, THIS WILL BE
[00:12:51] ASKED DIRECTLY TO MR. HAMILTON FIRST.
[00:12:55] IT WILL COME FROM MICHAEL WITH KWCH TV.
[00:12:56] >> THANK YOU TO BOTH CANDIDATES
[00:13:00] FOR BEING HERE TODAY. I WANT TO START WITH NEWS OUT
[00:13:03] THIS WEEK.
[00:13:06] THAT IS PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PROMISE OF A $5,000 DIVIDEND.
[00:13:09] [CROWD YELLING]
[00:13:10] >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE LET --
[00:13:24] >> THIS PROPOSAL WOULD COST MORE THAN $1 TRILLION. WE HAVE $40 TRILLION IN DEBT. DO YOU SUPPORT THE PROPOSAL AND IF ELECTED, WOULD YOU VOTE FOR IT? WHY OR WHY NOT?
[00:13:29] >> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 90 SECONDS TO RESPOND.
[00:13:30] REV. HAMILTON: THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT'S WRONG IN WASHINGTON DC
[00:13:34] RIGHT NOW.
[00:13:38] CAN YOU REMEMBER A TIME WHEN A SITTING PRESIDENT WOULD TRY TO BRIBE AMERICANS TO VOTE FOR HIS PARTY?
[00:13:41] NOBODY HAS DONE IT BEFORE. THIS IS ABSURD.
[00:13:43] WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT BRIBING PEOPLE WITH $5,000 CHECKS IF
[00:13:47] THEY PLEASE VOTE FOR MY PARTY, YOU HAVE TO PAY PEOPLE FOR
[00:13:51] VOTING FOR YOUR PARTY?BECAUSE THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT YOUR POSITIONS.
[00:13:54] I WANT TO KNOW, HOW ARE WE
[00:13:56] PAYING FOR THIS?
[00:14:01] WE HAVE $1 TRILLION WE WILL SPEND ON THIS TO BRIBE PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR YOUR PARTY, THAT'S
[00:14:16] WRONG. WE HAVE A 40 TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT. IF YOU HAVE $1 TRILLION LAYING AROUND, PAY IT OUT OF THE DEBT OR RESTORE MEDICARE BENEFITS.
[00:14:19] DON'T GIVE PEOPLE $5,000 TO GET THEM TO VOTE FOR YOU. THIS IS CRIMINAL AND IT SHOULD BE CALLED OUT. IT'S PART OF THE CORRUPTION IN WASHINGTON AND I WOULD NOT VOTE
[00:14:23] FOR THIS. ABSOLUTELY NOT.
[00:14:28] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
[00:14:29] >> SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU HAVE 90
[00:14:34] SECONDS TO RESPOND. SEN. MARSHALL: RIGHT. YOU ALL KNOW I'M A PHYSICIAN.
[00:14:39] I HAVE BEEN A MAJOR TWICE --
[00:14:46] MEASURE TWICE AND COUNT ONCE.
[00:14:49] I WILL LOOK AT ALL THE INFORMATION AND THEN MAKE A DECISION.
[00:14:53] [CROWD BOOING]
[00:14:59] BUT LOOK. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE DISAGREED WITH PRESIDENT
[00:15:03] TRUMP AND IT PROBABLY WON'T BE THE LAST.
[00:15:08] YOU KNOW, INSTEAD, I WILL BE
[00:15:12] FOCUSED ON KANSAS JOBS. I WILL BE FOCUSED ON PROTECTING
[00:15:16] KANSAS AGRICULTURE AND THE KANSAS CATTLE INDUSTRY.
[00:15:20] THINK ABOUT THIS.
[00:15:23] THE CATTLE INDUSTRY NEEDS 45,000
[00:15:26] JOBS AND MY OPPONENT WANTS TO
[00:15:28] BURN THE CATTLE INDUSTRY DOWN,
[00:15:32] HE GIVES AN ENTIRE SERMONS -- THAT HE GIVES ENTIRE SERMONS ON
[00:15:36] THE GREEN NEW DEAL AND CLIMATE
[00:15:43] CHANGE. IF YOU THINK HE WANTS TO ATTACK JUST THE CATTLE INDUSTRY, HE WILL GO AFTER OUR OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY AS WELL AND MAKE GASOLINE AND DIESEL EVEN MORE
[00:15:47] EXPENSIVE.
[00:15:49] SO MY FOCUS --
[00:15:58] [CROWD CHANTING]
[00:15:59] >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, CAN WE
[00:16:04] HAVE QUIET AND RESPECT ON BOTH SIDES FOR THEM TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS? SEN. MARSHALL: LOOK.
[00:16:11] WHAT I'M GOING TO GIVE THE KANSAS FARMERS AND RANCHERS IS
[00:16:15] PREDICTABILITY AND CERTAINTY.
[00:16:20] . I WILL GIVE THEM A FARM BILL THAT EVERY DEMOCRAT ON THE SENATE JUST VOTED AGAINST.
[00:16:24] I'M GOING TO STAY LOCKED IN ON THIS KANSAS AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY
[00:16:26] , AND BY THE WAY, KANSAS FARM BUREAU, THANK YOU FOR YOUR
[00:16:31] ENDORSEMENT. THANK YOU KANSAS FARM BUREAU.
[00:16:36] >> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 45
[00:16:41] SECONDS FOR A REBUTTAL. REV. HAMILTON: I NOTICED THE
[00:16:44] LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY DID NOT GIVE YOU THAT ENDORSEMENT. THAT'S INTERESTING.
[00:16:49] SO HERE'S THE PROBLEM.
[00:16:53] SENATORS ARE ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE TO BE THEIR CHAMPION IN
[00:16:56] WASHINGTON, D.C., NOT HIRED BY THE WHITE HOUSE TO BE THEIR SPOKESPERSON FOR THE PEOPLE IN
[00:17:00] THE STATE.
[00:17:04] CURRENTLY, OUR SITTING SENATOR HAS A VERY HARD TIME SPEAKING UP
[00:17:05] TO THE PRESIDENT.
[00:17:09] HAS A VERY DIFFICULT TIME SAYING MR. PRESIDENT, THIS IS CORRUPT. THIS IS NOT OK. I DIDN'T HEAR IT AFTER
[00:17:13] WEDNESDAY. I THINK YOU WERE THERE FOR THE SPEECH.
[00:17:16] DID NOT HEAR IT THAT NIGHT. BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE SOMEONE
[00:17:19] WILLING TO DO WHAT A SENATOR IS SUPPOSED TO DO, SPEAK UP AGAINST
[00:17:23] POWER AND BE A CHECK ON EXECUTIVE POWER. ROGER MARSHALL STRUGGLES TO DO THAT.
[00:17:33] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
[00:17:41] >> THE NEXT QUESTION WILL BE DIRECTED TO SENATOR MARSHALL INTO COMES FROM TIM CARPENTER FROM THE KANSAS REFLECTOR.
[00:17:43] >> I IMAGINE BOTH OF YOU AGREE U.S. SENATORS FROM KANSAS ARE IN THOSE JOBS TO WORK FOR ALL
[00:17:47] KANSANS. TELL US HOW AFTER YOU LEAVE THIS
[00:17:51] DEBATE STAGE YOU PLAN TO CONSISTENTLY AND PUBLICLY REACH
[00:17:54] OUT, INTERACT, AND CONNECT WITH YOUR EMPLOYERS AFTER THE
[00:17:57] NOVEMBER ELECTION, WHETHER THEY VOTED FOR YOU OR NOT?
[00:18:00] >> SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES TO RESPOND.
[00:18:04] SEN. MARSHALL: I APPRECIATE THE QUESTION. I WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY I
[00:18:08] HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE AT ALL 105 COUNTIES EVERY YEAR.
[00:18:12] 105 COUNTIES SIX YEARS IN A ROW.
[00:18:16] EVERY YEAR -- EVERY YEAR I DO
[00:18:22] BETWEEN 350 AND 400 STOPS ACROSS
[00:18:24] THE GREAT STATE OF KANSAS.
[00:18:31] IN MY OFFICE, WE SEE BETWEEN 20
[00:18:33] AND 40 GROUPS OF KANSANS EVERY
[00:18:37] WEEK IN THE OFFICE AS WELL.
[00:18:39] WE HAVE EMAILS, PHONE CALLS, ALL
[00:18:42] THOSE THINGS TO STAY IN TOUCH. I THINK AGRICULTURE IS A GREAT
[00:18:46] EXAMPLE. IF YOU WANT TO STAY IN TOUCH, GO
[00:18:49] SIT WITH A FARMER AND HE WILL TELL YOU WE NEED PREDICTABILITY
[00:18:53] AND CERTAINTY, THAT WE NEED A FARM BILL.
[00:18:55] THAT WE NEED A FARM BILL, AND I
[00:18:58] THINK THE QUESTION FOR MY OPPONENT IS WILL HE EVER STAND UP TO CHUCK SCHUMER?
[00:19:04] WILL HE BE THE ONLY DEMOCRAT THAT WOULD VOTE FOR THE FARM BILL?
[00:19:07] WILL HE BE THE ONLY PERSON THAT
[00:19:08] STANDS UP FOR YEAR-ROUND E 15
[00:19:13] AND THE PREDICTABILITY
[00:19:17] UNCERTAINTY, OR ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE THE $30 MILLION CHUCK SCHUMER IS GOING TO GIVE YOU?
[00:19:20] ARE YOU GOING TO DO THE FUNDRAISER CHUCK SCHUMER HAS PLANNED FOR YOU?
[00:19:24] I THINK THAT'S THE REAL QUESTION WE SHOULD ASK.
[00:19:27] YOU CALL YOURSELF AN INDEPENDENT DEMOCRAT, BUT WILL YOU HAVE THE
[00:19:31] GUTS AND ABILITY TO STEP UP TO SOMEBODY WHO IS GOING TO FUND YOUR ENTIRE CAMPAIGN?
[00:19:37] [CROWD BOOING]
[00:19:39] >> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 90
[00:19:44] SECONDS TO RESPOND. REV. HAMILTON: I LOVE THE ACTUAL ORIGINAL QUESTION.
[00:19:48] I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT.
[00:19:49] YOU WORK FOR ALL PEOPLE, OR ONLY
[00:19:52] SOME OF THE PEOPLE?
[00:19:57] TRAVELING ACROSS THE STATE, THERE ARE REPUBLICANS COMING TO ME AND SAYING YOU SHARE OUR VALUES.
[00:20:02] I HAVE NOT VOTED FOR A DEMOCRAT IN THE PAST, BUT I'M VOTING FOR YOU.
[00:20:05] GOVERNOR BILL GRAVES THIS WEEK ENDORSED ME.
[00:20:09] WE HAVE A CUTE ALERT CADRE OF PEOPLE WHO ARE REPUBLICANS FOR
[00:20:12] HAMILTON BECAUSE THEY KNOW THIS DOES NOT REPRESENT REPUBLICAN VALUES.
[00:20:15] WHAT IS HAPPENING IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
[00:20:17] I WILL WORK ACROSS THE AISLE. I AM A MODERATE
[00:20:21] INDEPENDENT-MINDED DEMOCRAT. THANK YOU.
[00:20:24] AND I AM GOING TO WORK TOGETHER.
[00:20:27] RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A FIVE YEAR FARM BILL, HE IS IN YEAR EIGHT.
[00:20:30] HE'S BEEN ON THE AG COMMITTEE
[00:20:33] AND THE SENATE AND HAS HE GOT IT
[00:20:45] ACROSS? THE FINISH LINE KNOW. OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THERE ARE BILLS THAT REQUIRE YOU TO WORK WITH PEOPLE ACROSS THE AISLE. HE CANNOT GET THEM ACROSS THE
[00:20:49] AISLE BECAUSE HE STRUGGLES TO WORK WITH PEOPLE ON THE E OTHER SIDE.
[00:20:52] >> YOU HAVE 45 SECONDS FOR REBUTTAL.
[00:20:56] SEN. MARSHALL: LIKE I SAID. MY OPPONENT DOESN'T STAND FOR
[00:20:59] ANYTHING. [CROWD BOOING]
[00:21:07] YOU STILL HAVE NO IDEA -- I ASKED HIM A VERY SPECIFIC QUESTION.
[00:21:12] ADAM, WILL YOU VOTE FOR THE FARM BILL?
[00:21:15] YOU WILL BE THE ONLY DEMOCRAT TO
[00:21:18] STAND UP AND VOTE FOR THE FARM
[00:21:23] BILL?ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE CHUCK SCHUMER'S $30 MILLION OR ARE YOU GOING TO
[00:21:25] STAND IN LINE AND WITH OTHER
[00:21:28] DEMOCRATS WHO VOTED AGAINST VOTER ID AND FUNDING FOR THE
[00:21:31] MILITARY AS WELL? EVERY OTHER DEMOCRAT HAS BEEN
[00:21:34] ABLE TO DO NOTHING YOU ARE
[00:21:38] DESCRIBING. WHEN YOU TAKE $30 MILLION FROM CHUCK SCHUMER, YOU WILL BE AT HIS BECK AND CALL AS WELL.
[00:21:41] WE NEED A PERSON ON THE AG
[00:21:45] COMMITTEE THAT ACTUALLY KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEIFERS AND STEER.
[00:21:51] RIGHT? THANK YOU SO MUCH. [LAUGHTER]
[00:21:54] >> MR. HAMILTON, 45 SECONDS FOR REBUTTAL.
[00:22:00] REV. HAMILTON: I'M STILL LOOKING FOR THE $30 MILLION FROM CHUCK SCHUMER. I DON'T THINK I'VE GOTTEN THAT
[00:22:03] YET. SEN. MARSHALL: IT WILL BE THERE NEXT WEEK. REV. HAMILTON: IT IS SO
[00:22:07] INTERESTING TO HEAR YOU SPEAK ABOUT THIS AS A GUY WHO HAS $1
[00:22:10] MILLION IN PAC ADS RUNNING
[00:22:16] AGAINST ME. BUT I AM GOING TO WORK ACROSS
[00:22:17] THE AISLE. YOU HAVE TO ASK THE QUESTION,
[00:22:21] WHY ARE THE DEMOCRATS HOLDING UP
[00:22:22] THE FARM BILL?I'M IN FAVOR
[00:22:27] OF THE FARM BILL, I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT DONE BECAUSE WE WOULD COMPROMISE AND FOUND A SOLUTION.
[00:22:31] THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR THE STATES WHOSE SNAP BENEFITS ARE TAKEN
[00:22:34] AWAY BY YOU.
[00:22:41] WE ARE TALKING 18,000 CHILDREN IN KANSAS WHO LOST SNAP BENEFITS UNDER HIS LEADERSHIP. THAT'S NOT OK.
[00:22:43] [CROWD YELLING]
[00:22:52] >> OK.
[00:22:55] THE NEXT QUESTION.
[00:23:04] WILL BE FOR SENATOR MARSHALL.
[00:23:07] IT WILL COME FROM DAVID OF THE HIGH PLAINS JOURNAL.
[00:23:10] >> THANK YOU ADAM AND ROGER FOR BEING HERE.
[00:23:15] MY QUESTION IS ONE THAT MANY PEOPLE WERE ASKING ABOUT IN
[00:23:19] RECENT DAYS. THE IRAN WAR HAS COMPLICATED
[00:23:23] COSTS OF DIESEL FUEL EXPENSES AND HIT THE BOTTOM LINE OF MANY
[00:23:25] FARMERS AND RANCHERS.
[00:23:30] WHAT CAN YOU AS A SENATOR TO ENSURE THE SHORT TERM PAIN IS WORTH THE LONG TERM GAIN?
[00:23:33] >> HE COULDN'T HEAR IT.
[00:23:36] >> DAVID, COULD YOU REPEAT YOUR QUESTION?
[00:23:39] >> OK. THE IRAN WAR HAS COMPLICATED THE
[00:23:43] INPUT COST AND DIESEL FUEL EXPENSES AND HIT THE BOTTOM LINE
[00:23:46] OF MANY FARMERS AND CONSUMERS AND RANCHERS.WHAT CAN YOU DO AS A SENATOR
[00:23:51] TO ASSURE THE SHORT-TERM PAIN IS WORSE LONG TERM GAIN?
[00:23:56] SEN. MARSHALL: AND BY FIRST? AM I FIRST?
[00:24:02] >> MY APOLOGIES ON THAT, SENATOR
[00:24:06] MARSHALL, YOU ARE FIRST. SEN. MARSHALL: THANKS DAVID, I
[00:24:10] APPRECIATE YOUR WORK. LISTEN, I HATE WAR.
[00:24:17] WITH ALL ITS FUTILITY.
[00:24:20] YOU KNOW WHO SAID THAT FIRST?
[00:24:21] PRESIDENT EISENHOWER. I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT I HATE
[00:24:25] WAR JUST AS MUCH. LOOK.
[00:24:29] LOOK.
[00:24:34] I SERVED MY COUNTRY PROUDLY. MY BROTHER SERVED.
[00:24:37] MY DAD SERVED. MY SON IS SERVING.
[00:24:43] ARE THERE ANY VETERANS IN THE AUDIENCE?
[00:24:46] THANK YOU, GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR VETERANS.
[00:24:51] I MOURNED THE LOSS OF ALL 18
[00:24:58] SOLDIERS, AND I WANT THIS WAR TO BE OVER AS SOON AS ANYBODY DOES. BUT THE ONE THING I CAN
[00:25:01] GUARANTEE YOU, THE DATE THIS WAR IS OVER WITH, DIESEL PRICES ARE
[00:25:05] GOING TO GO BACK TO THREE DOLLARS A GALLON.
[00:25:08] [CROWD BOOING]
[00:25:12] SEN. MARSHALL: [LAUGHTER]
[00:25:15] BUT IF DEMOCRATS REMAIN IN CONTROL AND IRAN HAS NUCLEAR
[00:25:18] WEAPONS, IT WILL BE $20 A GALLON.
[00:25:25] YOU THINK IT'S BAD THAT MY OPPONENT DOESN'T LIKE THE CATTLE
[00:25:31] INDUSTRY. IF HE HAD HIS WAY, HE WOULD PUT A PLASTIC BAG OVER THE MOUTHS OF THESE DAIRY COWS BACK HERE.
[00:25:36] THINK WHAT IT WILL DO TO THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY.
[00:25:41] HIS PARTY HAS DESTROYED THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY AND THE AG AND
[00:25:45] CATTLE INDUSTRY AS WELL. [CROWD YELLING]
[00:25:52] >> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 90 SECONDS TO RESPOND. REV. HAMILTON: FIRST OF ALL
[00:25:54] THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, SENATOR. I APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE AND
[00:25:58] YOUR FAMILIES AS WELL. [APPLAUSE]
[00:26:02] EISENHOWER WOULD HAVE NEVER SUPPORTED THIS WAR. NEVER SUPPORTED THIS.
[00:26:06] RONALD REAGAN DID NOT DO THIS.
[00:26:08] NEITHER OF THE BUSHES. DID THIS.
[00:26:13] PRESIDENT TRUMP TOLD US LAST YEAR AFTER HE DROPPED BOMBS ON
[00:26:17] THE NUCLEAR FACILITY IN IRAN THAT HE HAD TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IT WAS BURIED UNDER
[00:26:27] RUBBLE. SUDDENLY THIS YEAR WE NEEDED TO SEND AN ARMADA TO IRAN BECAUSE
[00:26:29] WE ARE UNDER OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
[00:26:34] I'M NOT SURE MANY OF US IN KANSAS BELIEVE THAT, BUT WE UNDERSTAND THE COST OF THE WAR $650 MILLION MORE FOR FUEL COST IN KANSAS ALONE THIS YEAR.
[00:26:41] $40 BILLION USED IN THE ARMADA AND THE BUILD UP. $100 BILLION IN AMERICA THAT
[00:26:46] COST ALL OF US AS INDIVIDUALS AS
[00:26:48] A RESULT OF HIGHER PRICES.
[00:26:51] IF YOU LOVE SIX DOLLAR A GALLON
[00:26:54] DIESEL FUEL, YOU CAN THANK ROGER MARSHALL.
[00:26:55] HE SUPPORTED THIS.
[00:27:00] HE TOLD US TO TIGHTEN OUR BELTS BECAUSE THIS WAS THE COST OF BEING SAFE IN AMERICA.
[00:27:04] WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE OUT OF THE WAR AFTER FOUR WEEKS, MAYBE SIX WEEKS. WE ARE SIX MONTHS IN AND CAN'T
[00:27:08] FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET OUT.
[00:27:13] TALK TO FARMERS. PHOSPHATE, A DOUBLE IN PRICE. THIS IS COSTING ALL OF US AT THE GROCERY STORE.
[00:27:16] THIS MAN SUPPORTED THE WAR. I WANT TO GET US OUT OF THE WAR.
[00:27:20] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
[00:27:25] >> SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU HAVE 45
[00:27:30] SECONDS FOR REBUTTAL. SEN. MARSHALL: RIGHT.
[00:27:36] WOULD ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE ROOM
[00:27:40] WHO WANT IRAN TO HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON RAISE HER HAND FOR ME?
[00:27:43] OF COURSE THEY DON'T.
[00:27:47] I WOULD ALSO --
[00:27:52] [CROWD YELLING]
[00:27:56] I'M GOING TO POINT OUT THE AVERAGE COST OF GASOLINE HAS
[00:28:00] BEEN LESS UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP THEN IT WAS UNDER JOE BIDEN.
[00:28:03] [CROWD YELLING AND BOOING]
[00:28:07] YOU CAN LOOK IT UP.
[00:28:09] YOU CAN FACT-CHECK IT AS WELL.
[00:28:13] THIS GUY'S PARTY WILL CONTINUE TO ATTACK THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY. WE HAVE NOT HAD A REFINERY BELT
[00:28:16] SINCE I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL. WE LOST 90 REFINERIES BECAUSE OF
[00:28:21] THE RULES AND REGULATIONS.
[00:28:27] HIS PARTY IS THE ONE THAT DRIVES UP THE COST OF OIL AND GAS. I ASK YOU AGAIN, ARE YOU GOING
[00:28:29] TO GO TO CHUCK SCHUMER'S FUNDRAISING FOR YOUR $30
[00:28:33] MILLION, WILL YOU BE ABLE
[00:28:38] TO STAND UP TO CHUCK SCHUMER AND FIGHT BACK AGAINST HIM WHEN IT
[00:28:41] COMES TO THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY?
[00:28:44] [CROWD YELLING]
[00:28:48] >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BEFORE
[00:28:51] WE GET TO THE NEXT QUESTION, AS WE GET TO NEAR THE TOP OF THE
[00:28:54] HOUR WE WILL PAUSE QUICKLY FOR STATION IDENTIFICATION ON RADIO.
[00:28:59] YOU CAN CHEER, BY THE WAY.
[00:29:00] YOU ARE LISTENING TO THE 2020 SIX KANSAS SENATOR DEBATE AT THE
[00:29:04] KANSAS STATE FAIR.
[00:29:17] WE ARE GOING TO DO THAT IN JUST
[00:29:19] A SECOND.
[00:29:22] OUR ENGINEER IS A NOT UP THERE SO WE WILL GO TO THE NEXT
[00:29:26] QUESTION.
[00:29:29] AND -- WE WILL GO TO, THIS ONE
[00:29:34] WILL BE THE SENATOR MARSHALL.
[00:29:39] >> I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR YOUR
[00:29:42] THOUGHTS ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM OR ISSUE
[00:29:44] FACING KANSAS AND I WOULD LIKE
[00:29:48] YOU TO EXPAND OUTSIDE THE FARM BILL. WHERE DO YOU THINK WASHINGTON IS
[00:29:52] FAILING KANSAS?
[00:29:55] WHAT WOULD YOU DO A SENATOR TO ADDRESS THAT? .
[00:29:58] SEN. MARSHALL: THE BIGGEST LONG
[00:30:00] CHALLENGE THE NATION FACES IS
[00:30:03] OUR NATIONAL DEBT, $40 TRILLION.
[00:30:07] WE ARE SPENDING $1 TRILLION PER YEAR ON INTEREST. THAT IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE.
[00:30:11] REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ARE VERY GUILTY OF THAT SITUATION.
[00:30:17] I HAVE SOLUTIONS FOR IT AND IT STARTS WITH THE BUDGET. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HASN'T
[00:30:21] DONE A BUDGET IN DECADE.
[00:30:21] WE HAVE A SOLID BUDGET BILL BUT
[00:30:26] I CAN'T GET PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON TO GET INVESTED IN IT. LUCK.
[00:30:32] AMERICANS NEED TO GO ON A DIET.
[00:30:34] I DON'T MEAN A SEAFOOD DIET.
[00:30:37] WE ARE SPENDING $7 TRILLION PER YEAR.
[00:30:42] AT THE END OF THE DAY, AT THE END OF THE DAY WE NEED A STRONG
[00:30:46] ECONOMY. A RISING TIDE FLOATS ALL BOATS.
[00:30:51] I WILL KEEP COMING BACK TO KANSAS AND WHAT'S IMPORTANT.
[00:30:55] IT IS THE AGGREGATE ECONOMY,
[00:30:57] MANUFACTURING, THE BASIS OF
[00:31:01] EVERY ECONOMY WE HAVE. WE ARE SEEING MANUFACTURING ACROSS THE STATE.
[00:31:05] IT IS GREAT TO SEE THAT.
[00:31:09] IT STARTS WITH CONGRESS LIVING
[00:31:12] WITHIN ITS MEANS AND FOCUSING ON GROWING A STRONGER ECONOMY.
[00:31:19] >> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 90
[00:31:22] SECONDS TO RESPOND. REV. HAMILTON: SENATOR MARSHALL
[00:31:25] SAYS THAT IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM. $40 TRILLION.
[00:31:29] YOU KNOW WHAT IT WAS WHEN HE WENT TO WASHINGTON? $20 TRILLION.
[00:31:33] IN DOUBLED ON HIS WATCH.
[00:31:36] THE LAST YEAR AND 10 MONTHS,
[00:31:39] WASHINGTON HAS INCREASED THE DEBT BY $3.8 TRILLION WHILE THEY
[00:31:42] HELD BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS AND THE WHITE HOUSE.
[00:31:45] WE WILL HAVE FASTER GROWTH IN THE DEBT THAN WE DID UNDER BIDEN.
[00:31:50] THAT WAS DURING COVID.
[00:31:54] AND OUR PRESIDENT WANTS TO SPEND ANOTHER WOMAN TRILLION DOLLARS TO BUY PEOPLE'S VOTES ON TOP OF THAT.
[00:31:59] HE SAYS HE TRIED TO MOVE FORWARD LEGISLATION BUT NOBODY SEEMS TO
[00:32:02] GET ON BOARD.
[00:32:06] THE JOB OF LEADERSHIP IS TO PERSUADE PEOPLE TO GET ON BOARD THAT MIGHT SAY SOMETHING. YOU ASK ME AND I WILL TELL YOU
[00:32:10] THE BIGGEST ISSUE FOR KANSAS IS THE WAR AND TERROR.
[00:32:14] IT IS COSTING THE AVERAGE KANSAN
[00:32:17] $100 MORE PER MONTH IN GAS AND
[00:32:21] WE HAVE HAD 55 TARIFF CHANGES.
[00:32:25] CANADA, WE TRIED $4 MILLION
[00:32:29] WORTH OF GOODS WITH CANADA AND WE ARE DEMEANING AND BELITTLING
[00:32:32] OUR BIGGEST TRADING PARTNER,, TELLING THEM WE CAN'T -- THEY
[00:32:37] CAN'T SELL AIRPLANES HERE WHEN
[00:32:41] WE HAVE AIRPLANE EMPLOYEES IN WICHITA. WHO WANTS TO GET RID OF 1500 JOBS?
[00:32:46] OUR SENATOR FINALLY SPEAKS UP AFTER A DAY AND A HALF.
[00:32:49] WE HAVE TO FIGHT AGAINST TARIFFS
[00:32:53] AND THE WAR IN IRAN. LET'S LOWER COSTS FOR EVERYBODY.
[00:33:03] >> SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU HAVE 45
[00:33:07] SECONDS FOR REBUTTAL. SEN. MARSHALL: UNDER JOE BIDEN
[00:33:10] WE SAW A SPENDING BILL FROM
[00:33:14] 5-7,000,000,000,000 DOLLARS OVERALL -- OVERNIGHT.
[00:33:17] THERE ISN'T A MAGIC BULLET.
[00:33:21] TO HAVE A STRONG COUNTRY IT STARTS WITH SECURE BORDERS.
[00:33:28] WE NEED A STRONG MILITARY. WE NEED LOWER TAXES.
[00:33:30] THAT IS WHAT THE REPUBLICANS HAVE GIVEN YOU.
[00:33:35] WE GAVE THE LARGEST TAX CUT IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
[00:33:38] AND AGAIN.
[00:33:43] WE GAVE YOU THE LARGEST TAX CUT
[00:33:45] IN AMERICAN HISTORY, $1700 PER
[00:33:49] KANSAN BUT EVERY DEMOCRAT VOTED AGAINST THE TAX CUTS.
[00:33:52] WILL YOU EVER STAND UP TO CHUCK SCHUMER AND VOTE TO GIVE AMERICANS A TAX CUT?
[00:33:56] WILL YOU EVER DO THAT?
[00:33:58] NO DEMOCRAT EVERY -- EVER VOTES
[00:34:01] FOR A TAX CUT. REPUBLICANS WILL GIVE YOU TAX CUTS.
[00:34:07] HE WILL RAISE YOUR TAXES.
[00:34:09] >> ALL RIGHT.
[00:34:12] NEXT QUESTION IS FOR MR.
[00:34:15] HAMILTON AND IT WILL COME FROM TIM CARPENTER WITH THE KANSAS REFLECTOR.
[00:34:18] >> THERE HAS BEEN CONTROVERSY ABOUT YOUR RESIDENTIAL
[00:34:22] PROPERTIES TO BOTH OF YOU.
[00:34:25] PLEASE CLARIFY THE LOCATION OF YOUR OFFICIAL RESIDENCE IN KANSAS AND HOW LONG YOU HAVE
[00:34:29] LIVED THERE. WHAT OTHER RESIDENTIAL
[00:34:33] PROPERTIES DO YOU OWN, AND PLEASE RESPOND TO CRITICISM OF
[00:34:37] YOUR HOUSING DECISION.
[00:34:38] >> MR. HAMILTON YOU HAVE 90 SECONDS.
[00:34:42] REV. HAMILTON: I LIVE IN KANSAS. I'M HERE MOST OF THE YEAR.
[00:34:48] WE BUILT OUR HOUSE 25 YEARS AGO.
[00:34:50] ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO, I WRITE BOOKS AND WE BOUGHT A LATE PLACE.
[00:34:54] WE HAVE POSTMASTERS, ALL SORTS
[00:34:57] OF FOLKS WHO LIVE AROUND US, FOLKS WHO WORK IN CONSTRUCTION
[00:35:00] AND WE ARE GRATEFUL TO HAVE A SECOND HOME.
[00:35:03] THE TWO OTHER HOMES BELONG TO OUR DAUGHTERS.
[00:35:06] THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY HOUSES,
[00:35:11] SO WE BOUGHT HOUSES FOR THEM. . HURRIEDLY LUXURY HOUSES.
[00:35:13] THEY ARE MORE LIKE YOUR HUNTING LODGE.
[00:35:19] THEY ARE BUYING THEIR OWN HOMES WHEN THEY CAN.
[00:35:22] THAT IS PART OF THE REASON WE HAD TO DO THAT IS BECAUSE THE
[00:35:25] AVERAGE AGE YOU BUY A NEW HOUSE TODAY IS 40 BECAUSE OF THE DECISIONS YOU MADE IN WASHINGTON.
[00:35:31] SO PEOPLE IN THEIR 30'S ARE STRUGGLING TO BUY HOUSES. THEY NEED THEIR PARENTS HELP.
[00:35:35] THAT IS OUR LUXURY LIFE. WE LOVE KANSAS AND WILL LIVE
[00:35:39] HERE AFTER I'M ELECTED. I WILL NOT SELL MY HOUSE AND MOVED TO FLORIDA.
[00:35:50] >> SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU HAVE 90
[00:35:56] SECONDS TO RESPOND. SEN. MARSHALL: MY HOME IS A
[00:35:59] SHORT HOUR'S DRIVE DOWN A GRAND -- A GRAVEL ROAD HERE.
[00:36:04] IT SITS ON 320 ACRES OF SOME OF
[00:36:07] GOD'S FINEST LAND AND HUNTING.
[00:36:10] IT IS SURROUNDED BY PALMS -- PONDS.
[00:36:13] WE BOUGHT IT IN ABOUT 1999.
[00:36:15] WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND, DOES
[00:36:19] ANYBODY HAVE ANY GRANDCHILDREN?
[00:36:21] THE GRANDCHILDREN ARE THE JEWELS OF OUR CROWN.
[00:36:25] I DON'T THINK ANY REASONABLE
[00:36:29] KANSAN WOULD HOLD IT AGAIN SOMEBODY WANTS TO VISIT THEIR GRANDCHILDREN.
[00:36:33] I SEE NO REASON. NOW.
[00:36:37] I WILL NEED EXTRA TIME.
[00:36:42] SO. NO DIFFERENT THAN KANSAS SHOULD
[00:36:46] BEGRUDGE ADAM FOR OWNING FOUR HOMES.
[00:36:49] ONE OF THE MALEIC HOME.
[00:36:53] HE HAS RUN A SUCCESSFUL MEGA CHURCH. HE HAS EARNED THOSE.
[00:36:57] AS FAR AS OUR FLORIDA HOME, YOU
[00:37:00] WOULD BE GLAD TO NOTE WAS STRUCK
[00:37:03] BY TWO HURRICANES AND HAS BEEN UNINHABITABLE FOR TWO YEARS.
[00:37:06] BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT, HOUSING IS IMPORTANT.
[00:37:10] I THINK THIS JOB AS SENATOR IS IMPORTANT AS WELL.
[00:37:15] I SAID EARLIER, I SPENT 350, 400
[00:37:18] VISITS TO THE STATE EVERY YEAR. .
[00:37:21] EVERY YEAR I GO TO D.C., I SPENT 200 DAYS VOTING AND I SPEND 135
[00:37:25] DAYS BACK IN THE STATE. OUR STATE BUSTS OUR TAIL FOR
[00:37:29] THIS STATE. THIS IS ALL THE SOCIAL MEDIA
[00:37:34] MATH MADE BY THE SOCIAL MEDIA
[00:37:39] KNOTS, AS WELL. LIFETIME KANSAN,
[00:37:43] FIFTH-GENERATION KANSAN. THANK YOU.
[00:37:46] >> MR. HAMILTON.
[00:37:50] YOU HAVE 45 SECONDS FOR REBUTTAL.
[00:37:53] REV. HAMILTON: I WILL TAKE THAT LONG. THE SENATOR ASKED, DOES HE
[00:37:59] RESENT SPENDING TIME WITH GRANDKIDS? I WANT HIM TO SPEND MORE TIME
[00:38:02] WITH HIS GRANDKIDS.
[00:38:06] I'M HOPEFUL TO BE ABLE TO BLESS
[00:38:08] HIM IN RETIREMENT TO ENJOY HIS GRANDKIDS MORE IN FLORIDA.
[00:38:11] I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH THEM.
[00:38:15] I WANT YOU TO SPEND ALL THE TIME IN FLORIDA WITH YOUR GRANDKIDS.
[00:38:23] >> ALL RIGHT.
[00:38:26] BEFORE WE GET TO THE NEXT QUESTION, A REMINDER.
[00:38:30] IF YOU ARE HERE AT THE PAVILION,
[00:38:33] TAKE NOTE THAT WE ARE ENDING
[00:38:34] EARLY AT TWO: 55.
[00:38:38] RON WAS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO GIVE
[00:38:40] US THE PAVILION AND HE IS
[00:38:43] SCHEDULED TO COME ON AT 3:00. SO ALL OF YOU WHO ARE NOT
[00:38:47] STAYING TO SEE RON DIAMOND, EXIT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER THE
[00:38:51] DEBATE SO MR. DIAMOND HAS HIS ALLOTTED TIME AS WELL.
[00:38:55] WE MOVE ON. THE NEXT QUESTION WILL BE
[00:39:00] DIRECTED TO SENATOR MARSHALL.
[00:39:02] IT COMES FROM DAVID AT THE HIGH PLAINS JOURNAL.
[00:39:06] >> FELT LIKE THERE IS A LESS
[00:39:09] FILLING, TASTES GREAT MOMENT.
[00:39:12] MANY KANSAS AGRICULTURAL MANUFACTURERS DEPEND ON ALUMINUM
[00:39:16] AND STEEL FOR SUPPLIERS.
[00:39:20] TARIFFS HAVE ADDED EXPENSES TO THE BOTTOM LINE.
[00:39:24] YOU THINK TARIFF POLICIES FROM THE PRESIDENT HAVE WORKED?
[00:39:26] ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT THE
[00:39:30] RAMIFICATIONS TO AMERICA'S GLOBAL STANDING? SEN. MARSHALL: MAYBE SOMEONE CAN
[00:39:32] GIVE US A K STATE UPDATE IN A
[00:39:36] MINUTE. BUT LOOK.
[00:39:39] THESE TARIFFS WERE MEANT TO BRING MANUFACTURING JOBS HOME.
[00:39:46] AND IMPROVE EXPORTS. AND IT'S WORKING. LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.
[00:39:51] LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.
[00:39:56] RIGHT HERE IN RENO COUNTY, RENO
[00:39:59] COUNTY LOST 1700 MANUFACTURING
[00:40:02] JOBS OVER THE LAST TWO DECADES. 1700.
[00:40:07] I WAS TIRED OF SEEING MANUFACTURING JOBS LEAVE KANSAS.
[00:40:11] YOU GO TO SUPERIOR BOILER HERE
[00:40:12] IN HUTCHISON, AND THEY WILL ADD JOBS.
[00:40:20] EVERYWHERE WE SAW MANUFACTURING WAS GOING.
[00:40:24] EXPORTS, TARIFFS ARE A SMALL PORTION OF THE PICTURE.
[00:40:30] WHEN IT COMES TO AMERICA -- I
[00:40:36] DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE DON'T CARE ABOUT AMERICAN JOBS.
[00:40:39] YOU CAN'T KEEP DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AND EXPECT A DIFFERENT RESULT.
[00:40:44] WE ARE SEEING THAT, TALKING ABOUT THE TARIFFS, THEY ARE HELPING.
[00:40:49] DOES ANYBODY CARE THAT CORN EXPORTS ARE UP 50% OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS?
[00:40:52] CORN PRICES ARE FIVE DOLLARS PER BUSHEL.
[00:40:57] SOYBEANS $13. THE TARIFFS ARE WORKING.
[00:41:01] WE ARE EXPANDING THE EXPORT MARKETS BECAUSE OF THEM.
[00:41:07] >> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 90
[00:41:12] SECONDS TO RESPOND. REV. HAMILTON: THE TARIFFS ARE A DISASTER FOR EVERYONE ACROSS THE
[00:41:16] STATE OF KANSAS. 150 DOLLARS PER MONTH MORE FOR
[00:41:19] THE AVERAGE KANSAN, THE GOODS COST BECAUSE OF TARIFFS.
[00:41:22] THERE'S A PLACE FOR TARIFFS, THOUGHTFUL TARIFFS TO BE
[00:41:26] IMPOSED. WE HAD 55 TARIFF CHANGES IN THE
[00:41:29] LAST YEAR. WE HAVE INSULTED OUR ALLIES, WE
[00:41:33] HAVE HURT OUR TRADING PARTNERS, WE HAVE JOBS THAT WERE BROUGHT
[00:41:36] TO CENTRAL KANSAS, ONE OF THE GREAT MANUFACTURING PLANTS
[00:41:40] RECENTLY, I WENT THERE AND THE PEOPLE THAT OWNED THE PLANT WERE
[00:41:45] DESCRIBING IT AND SAID WE
[00:41:49] CREATED 2000 JOBS. THEY HAVE 2000 EMPLOYEES.
[00:41:51] BUT THE TARIFFS ARE KILLING US.
[00:41:53] ONE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, $1800
[00:41:57] WORTH OF TARIFFS ON THAT EQUIPMENT. THEY HAD TO LAY PEOPLE OFF.
[00:42:00] 1500 JOBS. THEY COULD LOSE THOSE DUE TO
[00:42:05] TARIFFS. FARMERS ARE TALKING ABOUT THE COSTS. THIS IS NOT OK.
[00:42:09] THIS IS HOW WASHINGTON IS HURTING US AND HE THINKS IT NO BIG DEAL.
[00:42:12] NOBODY THINKS THIS IS NO BIG DEAL.
[00:42:16] THIS IS PAINFUL, WASHINGTON IS DOING THIS. IT IS CHAOTIC LEADERSHIP IN
[00:42:20] WASHINGTON THAT ARE SENATOR SEEMS TO SUPPORT.
[00:42:25] -- OUR SENATOR SEEMS TO SUPPORT.
[00:42:30] >> SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU HAVE 45
[00:42:35] SECONDS FOR REBUTTAL. SEN. MARSHALL: CHINA LOVES THIS GUY.
[00:42:39] CHINA LOVES HIM.
[00:42:41] DO YOU WANT TO SEE MORE JOBS GO
[00:42:43] TO CHINA? YOU WANT MORE JOBS GOING TO CHINA?
[00:42:47] IF YOU NEED TO TRAVEL ACROSS THE
[00:42:48] STATE, GO TO FORT SCOTT TO PEERLESS WINDOWS.
[00:42:53] I KNOW YOU WERE RECENTLY IN SALINA.
[00:42:55] BECAUSE OF THE TARIFFS JAPAN IS MOVING JOBS TO KANSAS.
[00:42:58] THIS IS SIMPLE. THESE TARIFFS ARE WORKING.
[00:43:02] BY THE WAY, CHINA IS DUMPING ALUMINUM THROUGH CANADA.
[00:43:07] THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR AMERICA.
[00:43:11] I WILL ALWAYS BE IN AMERICA FOR SENATOR, AMERICA FIRST.
[00:43:14] I WANT TO STAND UP FOR JOBS.
[00:43:20] LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN WICHITA. BOEING IS BACK AFTER THE TARIFFS.
[00:43:25] THE TARIFFS ARE WORKING. THIS IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE --
[00:43:28] >> YOU ARE OUT OF TIME.
[00:43:34] SEN. MARSHALL:SEN. MARSHALL: IF YOU CARE ABOUT MANUFACTURING -- >> SENATOR, YOU ARE OUT OF TIME.
[00:43:43] THE NEXT QUESTION.
[00:43:47] WILL BE DIRECTED TO MR. HAMILTON.
[00:43:52] IT WILL COME FROM MICHAEL AT K W
[00:43:55] CH TV.
[00:43:59] >> PRESIDENT TRUMP IS NOT ON THE BALLOT BUT HIS POLICIES AND INFLUENCER MERELY PART OF THIS ELECTION. THIS IS FOR BOTH OF YOU.
[00:44:04] WHAT IS ONE MAJOR ISSUE IF ELECTED, THAT YOU WOULD BE
[00:44:07] WILLING TO PUT THE INTEREST OF KANSAS AHEAD OF THE RARITIES OF
[00:44:09] THE PRESIDENT WARRIOR NATIONAL PARTY LEADERSHIP?
[00:44:15] -- WARRIOR NATIONAL PARTY LEADERSHIP? REV. HAMILTON: EVERY ISSUE THAT
[00:44:19] IS BETTER FOR KANSAS, I WILL
[00:44:24] STAND UP TO THE PRESIDENT AND SAY THIS IS NOT OK. THE FIRST THINGS WE HAVE TO DEAL
[00:44:28] WITH OUR TARIFFS, THE WAR IN IRAN AND HEALTH CARE.
[00:44:33] WITH THE DANGER OF 28 HOSPITALS CLOSING UNDER SENATOR MARSHALL'S
[00:44:37] WATCH, THIS IS HURTING PEOPLE. SO MANY THINGS, THE WORKFORCE IS A HUGE ISSUE.
[00:44:41] THE PRESIDENT'S POLICIES, WHICH
[00:44:48] THE SENATOR SUPPORTED, THERE IS NO DAYLIGHT BETWEEN THEM. THEY ARE VERY CLOSE. IN THIS CASE, HE IS HURTING PEOPLE ACROSS KANSAS.
[00:44:53] FARMERS ARE WORRIED ABOUT LOSING TRADE AGREEMENTS. IT HAPPENED THE FIRST
[00:44:57] ADMINISTRATION AND IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. PEOPLE CAN STAND WHAT IS
[00:45:00] HAPPENING ACROSS THE STATE. IF YOU BELIEVE THE TARIFFS ARE
[00:45:03] GOOD FOR YOU, YOU ARE NOT IN A BUSINESS WHERE YOU ARE PAYING THE PRICE LIKE MOST KANSAS
[00:45:07] BUSINESSES ARE.
[00:45:13] >> SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU HAVE 90
[00:45:17] SECONDS. SEN. MARSHALL: IT IS ABOUT
[00:45:19] PRIORITIES FOR THE MOST PART.
[00:45:24] CAN WE TALK ABOUT HEALTH CARE FOR A SECOND? WHO DO YOU WANT FIXING HEALTH CARE? THE DOCTOR THAT LIVED IT FOR 25 YEARS?
[00:45:28] OR SOMEBODY ELSE?
[00:45:30] I'M SO PROUD, I'M SO PROUD OF
[00:45:33] THE WORK WE HAVE GOTTEN DONE IN HEALTH CARE.
[00:45:36] WE JUST GOT 1.3 BILLION DOLLARS FOR KANSAS HOSPITALS.
[00:45:41] 140 MILLION DOLLARS OF THAT WILL GO TO RURAL HOSPITALS.
[00:45:45] WE JUST GOT $220 MILLION FOR RURAL HOSPITALS AS WELL TO
[00:45:49] IMPROVE HEALTH CARE IN RURAL
[00:45:57] AMERICA. WE WORK HARD ON PRESCRIPTION DRUGS. THANKS TO LEGISLATION I WROTE YOU CAN GET HUNDREDS OF GENERICS FOR LESS THAN $11.
[00:46:05] IF YOU ARE USING INSULIN, YOU
[00:46:09] CAN GET IT FOR LESS THAN $30. REALLY.
[00:46:12] SO I THINK WE GO BACK TO TAX POLICY.
[00:46:17] WHAT THE REPUBLICANS WILL DO IS LOWER YOUR TAXES. WE GIVE YOU NO TAX ON TIPS.
[00:46:22] NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY. NO TAX ON OVERTIME.
[00:46:25] YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE EVER
[00:46:30] VISITED THESE MANUFACTURING PLANTS YOU WILL HAVE GUYS COME
[00:46:32] UP AND HUG ME AND SAY THANK YOU FOR THE OVERTIME DEDUCTION.
[00:46:37] THE MANUFACTURING IS GROWING SO MUCH. OF THESE PEOPLE ARE WORKING OVERTIME RIGHT NOW.
[00:46:41] I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD YOU.
[00:46:44] YOUR FIRST VOTE IN THE SENATE IS GOING TO BE FOR CHUCK SCHUMER TO
[00:46:47] BE CHAIRMAN.
[00:46:52] IS THAT GOING TO BE YOUR VOTE? WILL YOU TAKE HIS $30 MILLION AND NEVER PUSH BACK AGAINST
[00:46:55] CHUCK SCHUMER AND HIS RAISING TAXES --
[00:46:58] >> YOU ARE OUT OF TIME.
[00:47:09] OK. MR. HAMILTON.
[00:47:14] YOU HAVE 45 SECONDS OF REBUTTAL.
[00:47:16] REV. HAMILTON: SO YOU BROUGHT US
[00:47:19] ONE POINT $3 BILLION BACK TO
[00:47:20] KANSAS AND TOOK $4 BILLION AWAY.
[00:47:23] ANYBODY CAN DO THAT MATH. THANK YOU FOR GIVING US $1.3 BILLION.
[00:47:30] WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT IS
[00:47:33] HAPPENING WITH HEALTH CARE, I WANT TO KNOW, HOW IS IT THAT YOU
[00:47:36] CAN RUN A PRACTICE AS A MEDICAL
[00:47:40] DOCTOR, AND HAVE POOR PEOPLE
[00:47:42] STRUGGLING TO PAY THEIR BILLS, AND THEN GO TO WASHINGTON AND
[00:47:47] TAKE 51,000 PEOPLE OFF THE HEALTH INSURANCE ROLES AND MEDICAID AND REMOVING SUBSIDIES?
[00:47:51] I DON'T UNDERSTAND. THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE YOU ARE FIGHTING FOR POOR PEOPLE IN
[00:47:55] KANSAS. THERE ARE 2000S OF VERSES IN THE
[00:47:58] BIBLE THAT SPEAK TO CARING FOR
[00:48:02] THE POOR AND THAT IS NOT HAPPENING UNDER THIS MAN.
[00:48:09] >> IN NEXT QUESTION -- THE NEXT
[00:48:16] QUESTION IS DIRECTED TO SENATOR MARSHALL AND WILL COME FROM TIM CARPENTER OF KANSAS REFLECTOR.
[00:48:20] >> I HAVE A BUSINESS MANAGEMENT QUESTION IN TWO PARTS.
[00:48:25] THE NEW YORK TIMES PUBLISHED A STORY THE DETAILED INCIDENCES IN WHICH DR. MARSHALL'S ATTORNEYS
[00:48:28] SAW PAYMENTS FROM KANSAS
[00:48:32] TRIGGERING THE ARREST OF PAYMENTS WHO OWED SMALL SUMS OF MONEY. I ASK YOU TO EXPLAIN.
[00:48:40] SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS MR. HAMILTON ABOUT REPORTING THAT YOU STRUGGLED WITH ALARMING
[00:48:44] PERSONNEL ISSUES AT THE KANSAS CHURCH YOU FOUNDED.
[00:48:46] >> SENATOR MARSHALL YOU HAVE 90 SECONDS.
[00:48:53] SEN. MARSHALL: MY DAD THE CHIEF OF POLICE HAD SEVERAL SAYINGS
[00:48:54] BUT ONE OF THEM IS ONLY BELIEVE HALF OF WHAT YOU SEE AND NONE OF WHAT YOU HEAR.
[00:48:58] I WOULD ADD, NONE OF WHAT YOU READ IN THE NEW YORK TIMES. LOOK.
[00:49:05] ONE OUT OF FIVE PATIENTS WE SAW AT OUR HOSPITAL GOT FREE CARE. ONE OUT OF FIVE.
[00:49:09] EVERY YEAR WE GAVE ARRAY
[00:49:13] 3-4,000,000 DOLLARS OF CHARITY. WE ALSO HAD A BUSINESS.
[00:49:17] WE HAVE 300 EMPLOYEES. WE HAD A MORTGAGE PAYMENT AND ELECTRICITY.
[00:49:21] JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER BUSINESS, WE HAD TO COME OF THE COMMON
[00:49:25] BUSINESS PRACTICE AT THE END OF
[00:49:25] THE DAY SENDS PEOPLE TO
[00:49:30] COLLECTIONS. THAT WOULD BE TRUE FOR EVERY HOSPITAL AND EVERY DOCTOR.
[00:49:34] EMPHASIS ON ONE OUT OF FIVE
[00:49:36] PEOPLE WE GAVE FREE CARE TO WAS WELL. THOSE ARE COMMON BUSINESS PRACTICES.
[00:49:40] WE WOULD GO A YEAR BEFORE WE WOULD SEND SOMEBODY OVER.
[00:49:47] >> [CROWD CHANTING] SHAME ON
[00:49:52] YOU! >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
[00:49:55] SEN. MARSHALL: I GET TO FINISH MY ANSWER.
[00:50:00] WHY DOES THE NEW YORK TIMES NEVER PUBLISH THE FACT THAT I
[00:50:03] TOOK EVERYBODY THAT WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR, EVERY PATIENT,
[00:50:07] EVERY MEDICAID PATIENT THAT OTHER HOSPITALS WERE SENDING ME
[00:50:12] THEIR PATIENTS? WE WOULD TAKE CARE OF THEM.
[00:50:16] WHY DID THEY NEVER REPORT ALL OF THE GREAT THINGS THAT WE ARE DOING?
[00:50:20] WE RAN A DIALYSIS CLINIC, AND ONCOLOGY CLINIC, A RADIATION
[00:50:24] THERAPY CLINIC AS WELL.
[00:50:26] WE GAVE COMPASSIONATE CARE TO SO MANY PATIENTS.
[00:50:30] THIS IS A TOTAL HIT JOB PAID FOR BY CHUCK SCHUMER.
[00:50:39] >> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 90
[00:50:43] SECONDS TO RESPOND. REV. HAMILTON: SHOW OF HANDS REAL QUICK.
[00:50:47] HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN LATE MAKING YOUR PAYMENTS ON MEDICAL BILLS?
[00:50:50] HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN
[00:50:53] ARRESTED OR SUED FOR BEING LATE ON YOUR MEDICAL PAYMENTS?
[00:50:57] MAYBE A HANDFUL? MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT ARRESTED FOR
[00:51:00] NOT GETTING THE PAYMENTS MADE. THERE IS AN EMPLOYMENT PLAN THAT IS WORKED OUT.
[00:51:04] THAT IS HIS ISSUE TO DEAL WITH.
[00:51:08] WHEN IT COMES TO THE CHURCH OF THE RESURRECTION WE HAVE 450 EMPLOYEES.
[00:51:11] CHECK THE MOTIVATION AND HOW PEOPLE ARE FEELING AROUND THE CONGREGATION.
[00:51:15] MOST OF THE PEOPLE THERE LOVE WORKING THERE. THEY HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A LONG TIME.
[00:51:20] THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY.
[00:51:27] >> SENATOR MARSHALL YOU HAVE 45
[00:51:30] SECONDS FOR REBUTTAL. SEN. MARSHALL: I WANT TO BRAG ON
[00:51:34] THE GREAT NURSES AND DOCTORS WE HAD. THEY TOOK GREAT CARE OF PATIENTS.
[00:51:38] ONE OUT OF FIVE PATIENTS, WE GAVE FREE CARE TO.
[00:51:43] ONCE THE COLLECTION PROCESS STARTED I WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO
[00:51:45] DO WITH IT.
[00:51:50] THESE ARE THE COMMON POLICIES THAT EVERY HOSPITAL, EVERY DOCTOR WOULD DO. THESE ARE STANDARD BUSINESS PRACTICES.
[00:51:53] BUT REALLY, THIS IS JUST NOISE.
[00:51:57] WHAT MATTERS ARE SECURE BORDERS,
[00:52:00] A STRONG MILITARY, LOWER TAXES, VOTER ID.
[00:52:04] THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT MATTER. WHY WON'T THE NEW YORK TIMES
[00:52:07] TALK ABOUT THOSE?
[00:52:13] >> ALL RIGHT.
[00:52:17] NEXT QUESTION IS FOR MR. HAMILTON.
[00:52:19] DIRECTED TO MR. HAMILTON, BY
[00:52:22] DAVID OF THE HIGH POINT CIRCLE. >> OK.
[00:52:27] IMMIGRATION IS A QUAGMIRE OF REGULATIONS THAT MAKE IT HARD FOR FARMERS AND RANCHERS AND
[00:52:31] MANY IN AGRICULTURE.
[00:52:33] IN KANSAS, NEARLY 25% OF THE
[00:52:38] NATION'S BEEF SUPPLY GOES THROUGH PACKING PLANTS.
[00:52:40] WHAT DO YOU THINK WE CAN DO,
[00:52:43] PARDON ME, TO ENSURE OUR NATION
[00:52:45] SECURITY BUT ALSO HELP HAVE
[00:52:49] REGULATIONS THAT MEET THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE WHO NEED, WHO ARE
[00:52:53] DEPENDENT ON IT? >> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 90 SECONDS.
[00:52:57] REV. HAMILTON: I WANT TO BE CRYSTAL CLEAR FIRST OF ALL. IMMIGRATION HUNTER BIDEN WAS A
[00:53:01] DISASTER. THAT IS HOW WE ENDED UP WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
[00:53:07] SECOND, WHAT WE DID IN RESPONSE
[00:53:12] HAS BEEN A DISASTER FOR PEOPLE IN KANSAS.
[00:53:14] WE SET QUOTAS AND TERRIFY PEOPLE
[00:53:18] IN TOWNS ACROSS THE STATE,
[00:53:26] PEOPLE WE NEED TO WORK WITH US. I'M TALKING LEADERS ACROSS THE LIVESTOCK AND DAIRY INDUSTRY. THEY HAVE SAID THIS IS A DISASTER. WE NEED YOUR OWN PROGRAMS, STOP
[00:53:30] TERRIFYING PEOPLE.
[00:53:31] I WAS IN A TOWN AND A WOMAN SAID
[00:53:35] HER GRANDDAUGHTERS PRESCHOOL TEACHER WAS ARRESTED IN FRONT OF HER, IN FRONT OF THE KIDS. THIS IS NOT OK.
[00:53:42] YES STRONG BORDERS, YES CLEAR
[00:53:45] POLICIES RELATED TO IMMIGRATION, IMMIGRATION REFORM, I'M NOT IN
[00:53:49] FAVOR OF OPEN BORDERS. I AM IN FAVOR OF COMMON DECENCY.
[00:53:53] WE NEED TO BE DECENT AS HUMAN BEINGS. WHAT IS HAPPENING IN WASHINGTON
[00:53:57] IS NOT DECENT, NOT COMPASSIONATE.
[00:53:59] IT IS NOT FAIR.
[00:54:06] FARMERS AND RESTAURANT OWNERS ARE PAYING THE PRICE ACROSS ALMOST EVERY INDUSTRY IN KANSAS. WE NEED IMMIGRATION AND WE NEED
[00:54:10] FAIR AND EQUITABLE IMMIGRATION POLICIES. THE JOB IS NOT GETTING DONE BY THIS MAN.
[00:54:18] >> SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU HAVE 90
[00:54:23] SECONDS TO RESPOND.
[00:54:27] SEN. MARSHALL: LIKE I SAID IN MY OPENING STATEMENTS HE DOESN'T STAND FOR ANYTHING. WHERE ARE YOU ON THIS ISSUE?
[00:54:30] YOU SAY YOU ARE FIRST SECURE BORDERS BUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
[00:54:34] WOULD YOU VOTE TO FUND ICE AND
[00:54:38] WOULD YOU VOTE TO FUND ICE AND SECURED THE BORDERS?
[00:54:41] WILL YOU PUSH AGAINST EVERY OTHER DEMOCRAT WHO WANTS TO DO
[00:54:45] THIS? SECURE BORDERS ARE PARAMOUNT TO THIS NATION.
[00:54:48] THINK ABOUT WHAT OPEN BORDERS GAVE US. THEY DIDN'T JUST GIVE US 20
[00:54:52] MILLION BOAT -- PEOPLE.
[00:54:55] THEY GAVE US FENTANYL POISONING, TOOK OUR JOBS AND HOUSING FROM US.
[00:54:59] ARE YOU COMMITTED, ARE YOU COMMITTED TO SECURE BORDERS?
[00:55:03] I THINK THAT IS THE QUESTION. ARE YOU COMMITTED TO SECURE BORDERS?
[00:55:08] CERTAINLY I UNDERSTAND THE
[00:55:12] CHALLENGES IN THE LABOR FORCE AND THAT IS WHY I WORK SO HARD
[00:55:15] TO IMPROVE LEGAL IMMIGRATION.
[00:55:18] WE NEED LEGAL IMMIGRATION ANOTHER BORDER IS SECURE, WE CAN
[00:55:22] WORK ON IT BUT IF YOU PUT THE DEMOCRATS BACK IN CONTROL AGAIN,
[00:55:25] THE BORDER WILL COME FLYING OPEN
[00:55:27] AND WE WILL -- THEY WILL TAKE
[00:55:31] YOUR JOB SEND YOUR HOMES AND EVERYTHING.
[00:55:32] THE DEMOCRATS, WHO DO YOU TRUST
[00:55:35] AT THE BORDER? DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS?
[00:55:41] >> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 45
[00:55:47] SECONDS FOR REBUTTAL. REV. HAMILTON: I DO BELIEVE IN
[00:55:49] FUNDING ICE FOR THE PURPOSE THEY WERE INTENDED.
[00:55:52] THEY WERE CREATED NINE -- AFTER
[00:55:55] 9/11 TO KEEP THE COUNTRY SAFE FROM TERRORISTS.
[00:55:58] WE RELABEL THE FOLKS ACROSS
[00:56:01] KANSAS, MAYBE THEY CAME 10 OR 15 YEARS AGO. WE ON PLUCKING FOR DANGEROUS
[00:56:05] PEOPLE, WE ARE LOOKING FOR ANYBODY AND THAT IS NOT OK.
[00:56:09] I BELIEVE IN FUNDING ICE.
[00:56:12] BUT WE ARE GIVING MORE MONEY TO
[00:56:15] ICE THAT ALL OF OUR OTHER
[00:56:16] SECURITY AGENCIES COMBINED.
[00:56:20] FEDERAL SECURITY AGENCIES COMBINED, 70 BILLION DOLLARS.
[00:56:24] MILITARIZED AND POLITICIZED THEM AND ARE USING THEM TO HARM PEOPLE.
[00:56:27] AMERICANS LIKE THE -- LIKE YOU ARE GETTING SHOT BECAUSE OF
[00:56:31] PROTESTS.
[00:56:35] I BELIEVE ICE NEEDS TO BE USED FOR WHAT THEY WERE INTENDED TO BE USED FOR.
[00:56:43] >> THE NEXT QUESTION GOES TO
[00:56:47] SENATOR MARSHALL. IT WILL COME FROM MICHAEL WITH K
[00:56:52] WC HDV. >>. >> I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOCIAL
[00:56:54] SECURITY AND MEDICARE, IN THE
[00:56:57] CASE OF THE LONG-TERM FINANCIAL ISSUES. WHAT CHANGES IF ANY ARE YOU
[00:57:01] WILLING TO SUPPORT TO KEEP THOSE PROGRAMS SOLVENT?
[00:57:03] SEN. MARSHALL: I WANT TO FINISH
[00:57:07] UP THE LAST QUESTION. IT IS INTERESTING THAT ADAM IS WILLING TO FUND ICE.
[00:57:11] SO YOU SAY --'>> LADIES AND
[00:57:18] GENTLEMEN.
[00:57:19] >> SO YOU SAY YOU ARE WILLING TO
[00:57:23] FUND ICE. WILL YOU STAND UP TO CHUCK SCHUMER THAT?
[00:57:27] THE FIRST VOTE YOU ARE GOING TO
[00:57:28] TAKE IS TO MAKE CHUCK SCHUMER
[00:57:31] THE HEAD OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY. BUT HE IS DOING A FUNDRAISER FOR YOU NEXT WEEK.
[00:57:36] HE WILL FUND YOUR ELECTION $30 MILLION JUST LIKE HE FUNDED OURS.
[00:57:41] -- JUST LIKE HE FUNDED BARBARA'S.
[00:57:45] LET'S TALK ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE. I WANT TO REMIND FOLKS WHICH
[00:57:50] PARTY GAVE YOU NO TAXES ON SOCIAL SECURITY. OK?
[00:57:56] THE FIRST THING I WILL DO IS MAKE A PLEDGE. I WILL NOT TOUCH ANYONE'S
[00:58:00] MEDICARE OR SOCIAL SECURITY. WHO IS ON IT NOW, OR SOON WILL BE.
[00:58:06] THE SECOND POINT I WOULD MAKE IS
[00:58:09] A RISING TIDE FLOATS ALL BOATS.
[00:58:10] THAT IS THE FIRST WAY YOU FUND
[00:58:13] MEDICARE AND SOCIAL SECURITY IS GETTING PEOPLE BACK TO WORK.
[00:58:17] IF YOU ARE ILLEGAL IN THIS COUNTRY WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT,
[00:58:20] YOU NEED TO GO THROUGH THE RIGHT PROCESS SO YOU CAN PAY BACK IN.
[00:58:24] BUT THE DEMOCRATS ARE A ONE HORSE PONY. ALL THEY KNOW HOW TO DO IS RAISE TAXES.
[00:58:30] HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY SOLUTION.
[00:58:33] HE WILL TALK ABOUT PLATITUDES.
[00:58:35] WE WILL SEE IF HE HAS ANY SOLUTION EXCEPT RAISE YOUR TAXES.
[00:58:41] >> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 90
[00:58:45] SECONDS TO RESPOND. REV. HAMILTON: I WANT TO SAY
[00:58:47] TARIFFS ARE ATTACKS AND WE ARE PAYING THOSE TAXES AND YOU
[00:58:51] RAISED THOSE TAXES.
[00:58:55] THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE. YOU SAID IN THE PAST ANYBODY WHO
[00:58:58] IS 57 AND YOUNGER NEEDS TO PREPARE FOR LOWERING THEIR
[00:59:12] BENEFITS. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU STILL FEEL THAT WAY BUT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF 57-YEAR-OLDS IN THE ROOM. I DON'T THINK THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY, MAYBE IT IS BUT I
[00:59:16] DO WANT TO SAY REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ALIKE ARE GUILTY. THEY HAVE KICKED THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD. 2032 IS AROUND THE CORNER. WE NEED TO SOLVE SERIOUS
[00:59:19] PROBLEMS BUT WE HAVE TO SOLVE THEM WITH REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS WORKING TOGETHER, NOT
[00:59:24] REPUBLICANS BLAMING DEMOCRATS OR DEMOCRATS BLAMING REPUBLICANS.
[00:59:28] WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS. THIS WILL BE PIVOTAL.
[00:59:32] I WILL JUST SAY WHEN YOU HAVE A SENATOR THAT DOESN'T WORK WELL
[00:59:36] WITH DEMOCRATS, EVEN SOMETIMES
[00:59:40] WITH REPUBLICANS, WE WILL NOT GET THE JOB DONE SO WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.
[00:59:43] WE AREN'T GOING TO SOLVE IT BY BLAMING THE OTHER PARTY.
[00:59:51] >> SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU HAVE 45 SECONDS TO RESPOND.
[00:59:55] SEN. MARSHALL: LET'S TALK ABOUT SOLVING MEDICARE ISSUES.
[00:59:59] FIRST OF ALL WE NEED A MIRACLE DRUG FOR ALZHEIMER'S.
[01:00:03] WE SPENT THE VAST AMOUNT OF OUR MONEY TREATING ALZHEIMER'S.
[01:00:07] SECOND OF ALL, WE NEED AMERICA
[01:00:13] TO BE HEALTHIER. WE ARE A SICK NATION. 40% OF CHILDREN ARE ON PRESCRIPTION DRUGS.
[01:00:17] 80% OF ADULTS HAVE A CHRONIC ILLNESS. THE REASON WE ARE SPENDING SO
[01:00:20] MUCH MONEY ON MEDICARE IS BECAUSE WE ARE SICK.
[01:00:24] I HAVE WORKED HAND-IN-HAND
[01:00:32] I WORKED HAND-IN-HAND AGAIN WITH
[01:00:37] BOBBY KENNEDY TO BRING THESE MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN TOPICS BACK. >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
[01:00:45] SEN. MARSHALL: I THINK IT ALL
[01:00:49] STARTS WITH HEALTHY NUTRITION. THAT IS WHY WE BRING IN THE
[01:00:53] AGGIE PART OF THIS AS WELL.
[01:00:56] IF YOU WANT TO SAVE MEDICARE, WE NEED TO BE A HEALTHIER COUNTRY.
[01:01:09] >> THE NEXT QUESTION WILL BE DIRECTED TO MR. HAMILTON.
[01:01:20] >> UNTIL RECENTLY, THE CATTLE
[01:01:23] INDUSTRY, MOST OF THE SECTORS THAT ENJOYED A GOOD RUN OF
[01:01:26] PRICES, BUT NOW RANCHERS ARE DEALING WITH CONFLICTING
[01:01:29] MESSAGES FROM THE ADMINISTRATION REGARDING THE AMOUNT OF IMPORTED BEEF.
[01:01:37] ALSO, POSSIBLY LOOKING INTO THE MEATPACKING INDUSTRY.
[01:01:40] WHAT IS YOUR VIEW ON WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION'S ACTIONS ARE,
[01:01:44] AND WHAT MESSAGE WOULD YOU TAKE TO FARMERS AND RANCHERS?
[01:01:47] >> COULD YOU PLEASE REPEAT IT?
[01:01:50] I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THE FIRST PART OF THE QUESTION.
[01:01:54] >> UNTIL RECENTLY, THE CATTLE INDUSTRY HAD ENJOYED A GOOD RUN
[01:01:56] OF PRICES, BUT NOW RANCHERS ARE
[01:01:58] DEALING WITH CONFLICTING MESSAGES FROM THE ADMINISTRATION
[01:02:01] OVER UPPING THE AMOUNT OF IMPORTED BEEF AND INVESTIGATING
[01:02:04] THE BEEF PACKING INDUSTRY. WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THE
[01:02:09] ADMINISTRATION'S ACTION, AND WHAT DO YOU THINK NEEDS TO BE
[01:02:12] DONE? >> IMPORTING 300,000 TONS OF
[01:02:15] LEAN TRIM BEEF INTO THE UNITED STATES WAS A SLAP IN THE FACE.
[01:02:20] IT CAME AT EXACTLY THE WRONG TIME. IT HURT THEIR PRICES.
[01:02:24] IT WAS DEVASTATING FOR THEM.
[01:02:27] THEY WERE ANGRY AND UPSET WITH THE PRESIDENT MANY OF THEM VOTED FOR.
[01:02:31] OUR SITTING SENATOR TEPIDLY RESPONDED TO THAT.
[01:02:34] YOU NEED SOMEBODY HE WAS GOING TO STAND UP AND SHOUT AND SAY
[01:02:38] THIS IS NOT OK FOR THE PEOPLE IN MY STATE.
[01:02:41] YOU ARE VOTED TO BE A CHAMPION FOR THE PEOPLE IN YOUR STATE,
[01:02:46] NOT A SPOKESPERSON FROM THE WHITE HOUSE. THIS IS THE KIND OF CHAOTIC
[01:02:49] DECISION THAT IS MADE WITHOUT CAREFULLY CONSULTING WITH THE
[01:02:53] PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE AFFECTED BY THIS. THAT HAS TO STOP.
[01:02:57] THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR IN THE
[01:02:59] WHITE HOUSE IS HURTING PEOPLE IN KANSAS.
[01:03:03] OUR SENATOR TEPIDLY RESPONDED TO IT AS OPPOSED TO SHOUTING LIKE HELL THAT THIS IS NOT OK.
[01:03:15] >> SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU HAVE 90 SECONDS TO RESPOND.
[01:03:18] SEN. MARSHALL: I WILL ASK THE AUDIENCE, WHO DO YOU WANT SOLVING THIS PROBLEM?
[01:03:22] [TOP WERE --
[01:03:28] [UPROAR]
[01:03:32] >> LADIES.
[01:03:38] LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! IF YOU COULD PLEASE CALM DOWN
[01:03:42] AND LET THE CANDIDATE ANSWER.
[01:03:45] SEN. MARSHALL: DO YOU WANT THE KID WHO HAS HAVING HIS FIRST JOB
[01:03:49] OFF THE FARM, OR DO YOU WANT THE
[01:03:51] CEO OF A MEGA-CHURCH TRYING TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?
[01:04:04] LISTEN TO THE REAL ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS THE SIZE OF THE
[01:04:08] HERD, THE SMALLEST HEARD IN MY LIFE.
[01:04:10] WHY IS THE HERD SO SMALL? NUMBER ONE IS THE ROUTE TO
[01:04:15] NUMBER TWO IS THE REGULATIONS. THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HAS STRANGLED
[01:04:19] THE AGRICULTURE AND CATTLE INDUSTRY DURING THE ENDANGERED
[01:04:23] SPECIES ACT, WATERS OF THE U.S. HE WANTS TO MEASURE THE METHANE
[01:04:26] FROM A COW BACK HERE, HOW DO YOU THINK HE IS GOING TO ATTACK ALL
[01:04:31] THE BEEF CATTLE AS WELL?
[01:04:34] WHO WOULD DO A BETTER JOB TAKING
[01:04:36] CARE OF THAT GOING FORWARD? THE REAL ISSUE IS THE SIZE OF
[01:04:39] THE HERD, AND THE LAST THING WE WANT IS AN ENVIRONMENTALIST.
[01:04:44] YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND HE HAS
[01:04:44] ATTACKED ME BECAUSE HE IS A
[01:04:49] CLIMATE CHANGE THEORIST. THAT IS WHAT THIS IS REALLY ABOUT.
[01:04:54] WOULD YOU EVER STAND UP TO YOUR PARTY BECAUSE THEY ATTACKED THE
[01:04:57] AMERICAN FARMER RANCHER AND OIL
[01:05:01] AND GAS INDUSTRY WHEN IT COMES TO ENVIRONMENTAL MEASURES?
[01:05:10] >> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 45
[01:05:13] SECONDS FOR A REBUTTAL. MR. HAMILTON: I THINK THE SENATOR NEEDS TO REPENT FOR NOT
[01:05:17] STEPPING UP TO THE BEEF INDUSTRY
[01:05:22] .
[01:05:22] DIESEL IS SIX DOLLARS A GALLON.
[01:05:26] THE DIMINISHMENT OF THE WORKFORCE IS MAKING IT HARDER
[01:05:28] FOR PEOPLE TO WORK IN THE LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY.
[01:05:31] TRADE WARS COST BEEF RANCHERS IN
[01:05:36] KANSAS $1 BILLION IN TRADE. IT WENT TO BRAZIL AND ARGENTINA.
[01:05:40] THIS IS NOT OK. YOU'VE GOT TO SPEAK UP FOR THE PEOPLE.
[01:05:44] 300 THOUSAND METRIC TONS OF BEEF BROUGHT IN HERE, YOUR JOB IS TO
[01:05:46] STEP UP FOR THE PEOPLE IN KANSAS, INCLUDING OUR LIVESTOCK
[01:05:51] INDUSTRY, WHO REFUSED TO ENDORSE YOU THIS TIME AROUND.
[01:05:53] SEN. MARSHALL: THE BEST CATTLE MARKETS OF MY LIFETIME.
[01:06:01] >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LET'S MOVE ON. WE ARE WINDING DOWN THE TIME.
[01:06:05] THIS WILL BE DIRECTED TO SENATOR MARSHALL.
[01:06:09] >> THIS WEEK WE HEARD A PRETTY
[01:06:13] STARK WARNING FROM AI INSIDERS
[01:06:14] AND DEVELOPERS, SIGNING A MAJOR
[01:06:19] ALARM OVER AT SAFETY, BUT GOING AS FAR AS TO SAY IT THREATENS
[01:06:23] ALL OF HUMANITY BY THE DECADES IN. THE COMPANIES THEMSELVES HAVE
[01:06:26] BASICALLY AGREED. WHERE IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
[01:06:30] ON THIS, IT IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOING ENOUGH WHEN IT
[01:06:33] COMES TO LEADING THIS INDUSTRY?
[01:06:35] SEN. MARSHALL: THANK YOU, MICHAEL.
[01:06:40] THIS IS AN ISSUE OF OUR TIME. I LIKEN IT TO THINKING ABOUT
[01:06:44] WHAT TO DO WITH NUCLEAR ENERGY IN THE 1950'S AND 1960'S.
[01:06:48] IT COULD BE CATASTROPHIC.
[01:06:49] I AM THE DOCTOR, GETTING
[01:06:54] OPINIONS. I WAS LOOK AT EVERY MAJOR
[01:06:56] PROBLEM THROUGH THE LENS OF THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF YOUR
[01:07:00] FAMILY. THERE IS MORE QUESTIONS THAN
[01:07:03] ANSWERS OUT THERE. NUMBER ONE, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE
[01:07:06] WE ENGAGE WITH OUR MILITARY TO MAKE SURE WE STAY AHEAD OF
[01:07:10] CHINA. I THINK THAT IS ABSOLUTELY
[01:07:12] NECESSARY, BUT ON THE OTHER HAND WE HAVE TO ESTABLISH THE RIGHT
[01:07:16] GUARD RAILS AROUND THE PRIVATE
[01:07:20] WORLD THAT ARE DEVELOPING THIS AS WELL. THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES BEHIND IT
[01:07:24] WE NEED TO START ADDRESSING. THAT WOULD BE THE ENERGY ISSUE
[01:07:27] AND THE WATER ISSUE AND THE JOB REPLACEMENT ISSUE.
[01:07:31] THAT IS WHY I AM ALREADY WORKING WITH TECHNICAL COLLEGES ACROSS
[01:07:35] THE STATE TO HELP WITH A PLAN.
[01:07:39] WHEN IT COMES TO THE WATER
[01:07:40] PORTION OF THIS -- LET ME JUST BACK UP HERE.
[01:07:43] WHEN IT COMES TO DATA CENTERS, LET ME BE VERY CLEAR THAT I
[01:07:46] SUPPORT THE MORATORIUM THAT I
[01:07:51] SUPPORT LOCAL CONTROL AND JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT.
[01:07:53] I THINK IT IS A VERY COMPLICATED ISSUE AND WE ARE TRYING TO BRING
[01:07:57] ALL THE PIECES TOGETHER.
[01:08:02] >> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 90 SECONDS TO RESPOND.
[01:08:05] MR. HAMILTON: LAST YEAR WHEN YOU
[01:08:07] VOTED FOR THE ONE BIG, BEAUTIFUL
[01:08:10] BILL, YOU GAVE $30 BILLION IN TAX CUTS TO DATA CENTERS ACROSS
[01:08:13] THE COUNTRY. WHICH IS IT, A MORATORIUM OR TAX CUTS?
[01:08:17] WHEN IT COMES TO AI, WE'VE GOT TO TAKE SERIOUSLY THIS POTENTIAL THREAT.
[01:08:23] AI HAS WONDERFUL POTENTIAL BUT ALSO DEVASTATING POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES.
[01:08:26] YOU HAVE BEEN IN OFFICE FOR SIX YEARS, AND I WONDER WHY ARE WE FINALLY JUST GETTING AROUND TO
[01:08:30] TALKING ABOUT THIS?
[01:08:32] THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS
[01:08:36] ISSUE. WE HAVE TO CREATE THE APPROPRIATE GUARD RAILS, BUT WE
[01:08:40] CAN'T LEAVE THIS ALONE. RUSSIA AND CHINA IS GOING TO BE WORKING ON THIS.
[01:08:44] AMERICA HAS TO BE DOING THE SAME, AND AT THE SAME TIME WE
[01:08:47] HAVE APPROPRIATE GUARD RAILS. I THINK THIS IS ONE PLACE WHERE WE BOTH AGREE.
[01:08:51] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
[01:08:52] >> SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU HAVE 40 FIVE SECONDS FOR A REBUTTAL.
[01:08:56] SEN. MARSHALL: THE FINAL POINT I
[01:09:00] WOULD MAKE IS WHETHER IT IS A DATA CENTER OR AI, BUT WE DO NOT WANT IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OVER REGULATING.
[01:09:05] -- WHAT WE DO NOT WANT IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OVER REGULATING.
[01:09:11] THAT WE AS REPUBLICANS BELIEVE
[01:09:12] IN GLOBAL CONTROL, THAT THOSE CLOSEST TO THE PROBLEM
[01:09:16] UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM THE VERY BEST. THE LAST THING WE WOULD WANT HIS
[01:09:20] BIG GOVERNMENT DEMOCRAT SOCIALISTS TRYING TO TELL THE
[01:09:22] REST OF THE COUNTRY -- IS BIG
[01:09:27] GOVERNMENT DEMOCRAT SOCIALISTS TRYING TO TELL THE REST OF THE COUNTRY WHAT TO DO WHEN IT COMES
[01:09:30] TO DATA CENTERS. THAT IS THEIR MODUS OPERANDI.
[01:09:33] BIG GOVERNMENT SOCIALISTS TRY TO TELL US HOW TO DO EVERYTHING,
[01:09:36] WHETHER IT IS OUR SCHOOLS, OUR
[01:09:38] ENVIRONMENT, THE CAP ALE -- THE
[01:09:41] CATTLE INDUSTRY, OR THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY.
[01:09:44] IT'S ALWAYS BIG GOVERNMENT SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS HANDED BY
[01:09:46] CHUCK SCHUMER -- HANDLED BY CHUCK SCHUMER.
[01:09:52] [HECKLING]
[01:09:58] >> OK.
[01:10:02] LET'S GO TO -- BECAUSE WE ARE RUNNING SHORT ON TIME -- LET'S
[01:10:05] GO TO THE NEXT QUESTION. THIS WILL GO TO MR. HAMILTON,
[01:10:08] AND THAT WILL BE FROM TIM
[01:10:12] CARPENTER WITH KANSAS REFLECTOR. >> THANK YOU.
[01:10:15] I WANT YOU BOTH TO ARTICULATE YOUR VIEWS ON THE SEPARATION OF
[01:10:19] CHURCH AND STATE IN THE UNITED STATES. WHERE DO YOU DRAW THE LINE IN
[01:10:23] ORDER TO KEEP GOVERNMENT
[01:10:25] INDEPENDENT OF RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS?
[01:10:29] >> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 90 SECONDS TO RESPOND.
[01:10:30] MR. HAMILTON: I BELIEVE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE
[01:10:34] IS A BIG PART OF WHERE WE ARE -- WHO WE ARE.
[01:10:36] PEOPLE CAME HERE FROM EUROPE TO
[01:10:39] FREE RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION. I BELIEVE IN THE FIRST
[01:10:43] AMENDMENT, WHICH PROTECTS AMERICANS' RIGHT TO PRACTICE
[01:10:46] RELIGION AS THEY WISH. I AM GOING TO WASHINGTON TO
[01:10:49] FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS, WHETHER
[01:10:51] YOU ARE ATHEIST, AGNOSTIC,
[01:10:53] HINDU, BUDDHIST, JEW, MUSLIM, OR
[01:10:57] CHRISTIAN. THE CONSTITUTION IS UNDER THREAT RIGHT NOW BY THE ADMINISTRATION
[01:11:01] AND PEOPLE LIKE ROGER MARSHALL. WE ARE USING GOVERNMENT RESOURCES TO STRENGTHEN AND
[01:11:05] ENCOURAGE CERTAIN STRANDS OF CHRISTIANITY.
[01:11:08] IF YOU START USING GOVERNMENT RESOURCES FOR CERTAIN PARTS OF A
[01:11:11] RELIGION, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT RELIGION YOU ARE SUPPORTING,
[01:11:15] BECAUSE IT IS LIKELY NOT TO BE YOURS IN THE FUTURE.
[01:11:20] I AM RUNNING FOR THE RIGHT TO PROTECT OUR RIGHTS IN THE U.S. CONSTITUTION.
[01:11:26] IN WASHINGTON, D.C., I'M GOING TO BRING 38 YEARS OF PASTORAL
[01:11:29] MINISTRY CARING FOR PEOPLE, LISTENING TO THEM, HEARING THEM,
[01:11:33] AND THEN FIGHTING FOR THEM IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
[01:11:39] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
[01:11:43] >> SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU HAVE 90
[01:11:48] SECONDS TO RESPOND.
[01:11:51] SEN. MARSHALL: I'M TRYING TO
[01:11:56] MIX UP IN MY HEAD. YOU SAY YOU SUPPORT SEPARATION
[01:11:59] OF CHURCH AND STATE, YET YOU SOLICITED MONEY FROM PEOPLE AT
[01:12:02] YOUR OWN CHURCH, AND ACTIVELY ON YOUR CHURCH WEBSITE AS WELL.
[01:12:08] LISTEN, THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED ON JUDEO-CHRISTIAN VALUES.
[01:12:12] AND I AM SO HONORED THAT WHEN WE
[01:12:17] SAY THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, WE SAY ONE NATION UNDER GOD, AND
[01:12:21] THAT THROUGHOUT THE HALLS OF CONGRESS WE HONOR GOD.
[01:12:25] JUST BECAUSE THERE IS SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE DOES NOT MEAN THE CHURCH SHOULDN'T BE A PART OF OUR EVERYDAY LIVING AS
[01:12:29] WELL. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
[01:12:37] LOOK, I'M NOT A CONSTITUTIONAL LAWYER. I AM NOT HERE TO LITIGATE THAT.
[01:12:41] I WANT TO TALK THINGS KANSANS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT.
[01:12:44] THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE COST OF HOUSING, THE COST OF
[01:12:46] HEALTH CARE, THE COST OF CHILDCARE.
[01:12:49] THIS GUY'S PARTY VOTED AGAINST EVERY TAX DEDUCTION WE GAY
[01:12:53] PEOPLE. WE HAD A HUGE TAX DEDUCTION FOR CHILD CARE AND HIS PARTY VOTED AGAINST THAT.
[01:12:58] I THINK WE ARE PROVING OVER AND
[01:13:00] OVER THAT HE IS TOO WEAK, TOO WOKE, DOES NOT STAND FOR
[01:13:04] ANYTHING. THAT HE'S TRYING TO BE ALL
[01:13:08] THINGS TO ALL PEOPLE, AND THAT'S
[01:13:09] NOT WHAT YOU WANT FROM A SENATOR
[01:13:14] IN KANSAS. WHAT YOU CAN COUNT ON IS I'M GOING TO STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR
[01:13:17] YOU, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR FREEDOMS.
[01:13:20] >> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 45
[01:13:24] SECONDS FOR A REBUTTAL. MR. HAMILTON: I WON'T NEED THAT LONG.
[01:13:29] I AM PRETTY SURE IF JESUS WERE HERE, YOU WOULD CALL HIM WOKE.
[01:13:33] [CHEERS]
[01:13:52] OK. --
[01:13:56] >> OK. IT IS THE MODERATOR'S DISCRETION HERE.
[01:14:00] WE ARE GOING TO CUT THE TIME AND
[01:14:01] GET ONE MORE QUESTION IN.
[01:14:06] INSTEAD OF TWO MINUTES, WE WILL GIVE YOU 90 SECONDS FOR THE
[01:14:10] ANSWER AND THE REPLY, AND WE
[01:14:12] WILL GIVE YOU 30 SECONDS FOR A REBUTTAL. I'M GOING TO DO THAT REALLY QUICK HERE.
[01:14:21] I WANTED TO COMMEND BOTH OF YOU GUYS FOR BEING HERE. THIS QUESTION IS SOMETHING YOU
[01:14:25] BOTH HAVE BEEN WILLING TO TALK ABOUT.
[01:14:28] I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU.
[01:14:34] MENTAL HEALTH STRESSORS ARE HIGH OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS IN
[01:14:37] AGRICULTURE AND ARE CERTAINLY RELEVANT IN TODAY'S ENVIRONMENT.
[01:14:40] WHAT IS YOUR WORD TO THE FARM
[01:14:43] FAMILIES IN KANSAS WHO ARE FACING THESE CHALLENGES?
[01:14:47] SEN. MARSHALL: 988.
[01:14:50] IF YOU ARE A FARMER, IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING WITH MENTAL HEALTH,
[01:14:53] YOU CAN CALL 988, OK? [APPLAUSE]
[01:14:57] WE LOSE MORE FARMERS EVERY YEAR
[01:15:00] FROM SUICIDE THAN WE DO FROM FARM ACCIDENTS, AND THAT IS WHY I HAVE BEEN OUT ACROSS THE STATE
[01:15:04] NOW FOR YEARS DOING ROUNDTABLES AND WORKING WITH LENDERS.
[01:15:09] THE LENDERS AND THE FOLKS THAT
[01:15:11] HAVE THE SAY ARE THE ONES THAT
[01:15:15] KNOW WHO ARE IN WITH STRESS.
[01:15:19] K STATE EXTENSION DOES A GREAT JOB WITH THIS. THE RESOURCES ARE OUT THERE.
[01:15:24] WE HAD 26 BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CENTERS FEDERALLY FUNDED ACROSS THE STATE AS WELL.
[01:15:27] THEY WILL COME TO YOUR HOUSE, COME TO YOUR FARM.
[01:15:31] I JUST ASK EVERYBODY, THOUGH, TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR.
[01:15:33] IF YOU SEE ONE OF YOUR FELLOW FARMERS STRUGGLING, REACH OUT AND HELP THEM.
[01:15:38] IF THEY ARE NOT GOING TO CHURCH, IF THEY ARE MISSING THE FRIDAY
[01:15:41] NIGHT BALL GAME, IF THEY ARE MISSING COFFEE, REACH OUT, TELL
[01:15:44] THEM WE KNOW WHERE TO GET HELP, AND IF IT IS AN EMERGENCY, CALL 988.
[01:15:49] >> MR. HAMILTON, YOU ALSO HAVE
[01:15:54] 60 SECONDS FOR A REPLY. MR. HAMILTON: I AM GLAD YOU MENTIONED 988.
[01:15:58] YOUR PARTY WAS TRYING TO DEFUND PARTS OF 988.
[01:16:03] AND I'M NOT GOING TO SAY YOUR PARTY, BECAUSE I LOVE
[01:16:07] REPUBLICANS, YOUR DECISIONS YOU ARE MAKING WITH HIGH TARIFFS,
[01:16:10] WITH THE COSTS OF WAR IN AMERICA FOR FARMERS, THAT IS ADDING TO
[01:16:14] THIS MENTAL HEALTH.
[01:16:17] I WAS TALKING TO YOUNG GUYS, THE
[01:16:20] CATALAN PROPS THEY HAD, STRUGGLING TALKING ABOUT HOW HARD IT IS RIGHT NOW.
[01:16:23] THEY VOTED FOR TRUMP THREE TIMES AND THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW
[01:16:26] HARD THIS IS RIGHT NOW FOR THEM.
[01:16:29] THESE ARE PEOPLE IN MENTAL HEALTH DISTRESS AND YOU ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH ABOUT IT.
[01:16:32] YOU ARE NOT FIGHTING FOR THEM BY ENDING THE WAR, ENDING THE
[01:16:36] TARIFFS, BY BRINGING INTEREST RATES DOWN. YOU HAVE FAILED THEM.
[01:16:40] THAT LEADS PEOPLE -- 700 FARM
[01:16:44] BANKRUPTCIES THIS YEAR, GOING UP
[01:16:48] AGAIN AFTER GOING DOWN FOR YEARS ON YOUR WATCH. WE HAVE TO DO BETTER THAN THIS.
[01:16:56] >> SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU WILL HAVE 30 SECONDS FOR A REBUTTAL.
[01:16:58] SEN. MARSHALL: BANKRUPTCIES ARE DOWN RIGHT NOW.
[01:17:01] THERE ARE MANY BRIGHT THINGS
[01:17:02] HAPPENING IN THE WARMING ECONOMY.
[01:17:06] THE REAL ISSUE WHICH WE HAVE NOT TALKED ABOUT IS THE INPUT PRICES.
[01:17:10] I AM CONTINUING TO DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO BRING DOWN FERTILIZER
[01:17:16] PRICES. JUST LAST WEEK, THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE STARTED ANOTHER
[01:17:20] FERTILIZER PLANT IN LOUISIANA AS
[01:17:24] WELL. WE GOT THE PRESIDENT TO STOP THE COUNTERVAILING DELAYS ON PHOSPHATE.
[01:17:28] THOSE ARE REAL SOLUTIONS.
[01:17:31] AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU HAVE
[01:17:33] NOT ANSWERED THIS QUESTION, WILL YOU VOTE FOR THE FARM BILL?
[01:17:36] WOULD YOU BE THE ONLY DEMOCRAT THAT WOULD VOTE FOR THE FARM BILL?
[01:17:39] >> ALL RIGHT, LADIES AND
[01:17:44] GENTLEMEN, IF YOU ARE NOT
[01:17:48] STAYING, WE ASK THAT YOU LEAVE
[01:17:51] EXPEDITIOUSLY AFTER WE END THE DEBATE.
[01:17:55] BUT WE HAVE REACHED THE FINAL CLOSING STATEMENTS FOR BOTH.
[01:17:59] DETERMINED BY THE COIN TOSS BEFOREHAND, MR. HAMILTON, YOU
[01:18:02] WILL START WITH YOUR FIRST TWO MINUTE CLOSING STATEMENT.
[01:18:04] MR. HAMILTON: I LOVE TRAVELING ACROSS KANSAS.
[01:18:08] IT'S BEEN AWESOME. I WAS IN A LIBERAL, KANSAS, AND
[01:18:11] WHILE I WAS THERE, I MET WITH A GREAT GROUP OF PEOPLE.
[01:18:14] I SAID, BUT SHOULD I SEE IN LIBERAL?
[01:18:17] THEY SAID GO TO THE WIZARD OF OZ MUSEUM.
[01:18:20] I WATCHED IT EVERY YEAR WHEN I WAS GROWING UP.
[01:18:23] WHEN I AM THERE, I GET TO WATCH A CLIP OF THE WIZARD OF OZ.
[01:18:26] YOU'VE GOT DOROTHY ON THE
[01:18:30] YELLOW BRICK ROAD, THEY ARE GOING TO SEE THE WIZARD WITH HER
[01:18:33] THREE TRUSTY SIDEKICKS, THOSE 10 MEN, THE SCARECROW, AND THE
[01:18:37] COWARDLY LION. I SAID, OK, BUT TO THE SCARECROW NEED?
[01:18:41] HE NEEDED A BRAIN.
[01:18:44] WHAT DID THE 10 MAN NEED?
[01:18:48] HE NEEDED A HEART.
[01:18:49] WHAT DID THE COWARDLY LION NEED? COURAGE.
[01:18:53] THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH WASHINGTON RIGHT NOW.
[01:18:56] PEOPLE IF THERE ARE NO LONGER USING CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS.
[01:19:01] THEY ARE DOING WHATEVER THEIR PRESIDENT OR PARTY TELLS THEM TO DO.
[01:19:05] THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR KANSAS.
[01:19:07] WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR HEARTS IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
[01:19:13] THAT'S EASY TO HAPPEN.
[01:19:16] YOU GO BACK AND ALL YOUR STOPS ARE PHOTO OPS IN FRONT OF
[01:19:20] CABELA'S OR SOMEWHERE ELSE. YOU HAVE A LISTENING SESSION AT
[01:19:24] OAKLEY AND YOU GET UPSET AND WALKED OUT INSTEAD OF LISTENING TO PEOPLE.
[01:19:28] THEN YOU SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, WE
[01:19:31] DON'T DO LISTENING SESSIONS BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE ARE TOO
[01:19:35] DANGEROUS IN KANSAS. I'M LOOKING AT YOU, THE MARSHALL
[01:19:38] FANS, YOU DON'T LOOK DANGEROUS TO ME.
[01:19:41] WHEN YOU LISTEN TO PEOPLE, YOU HEAR THEIR PAIN.
[01:19:44] YOU SAY ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT, AND I CAN'T VOTE FOR
[01:19:47] THINGS THAT TAKE AWAY 51,000 PEOPLE'S HEALTH INSURANCE,
[01:19:51] 18,000 KIDS WHO DON'T GET SNAP BENEFITS ANYMORE.
[01:19:55] FINALLY, YOU HAVE TO HAVE COURAGE. COURAGE IS WHEN YOU STAND UP TO
[01:19:58] YOUR PRESIDENT AND PARTY AND SAY
[01:19:59] THIS IS HURTING BACK HOME, AND
[01:20:03] YOU DO IT EVEN IF YOUR PRESIDENT IS GOING TO BULLY YOU, PICK ON
[01:20:07] YOU, PRIMARY YOU, AND CALL YOU NAMES. YOU STILL SAY THIS IS NOT OK.
[01:20:11] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
[01:20:21] >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IF YOU
[01:20:26] COULD PLEASE TAKE YOUR SEATS. WE HAVE ONE FINAL CLOSING
[01:20:30] STATEMENT. SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU HAVE THE FINAL TWO MINUTE CLOSING STATEMENT.
[01:20:34] SEN. MARSHALL: THANKS, GREG.
[01:20:37] TO ALL MY K STATE BUDDIES WHO
[01:20:39] CHOSE THE GAME, YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY.
[01:20:44] 34-SEVEN VICTORY. WE ARE THE WILDCATS.
[01:20:47] ALRIGHT, LISTEN, THERE IS SO MUCH NOISE.
[01:20:50] WE WENT DOWN QUITE A FEW RABBIT HOLES. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, BUT I
[01:20:53] WANT TO DO IS GIVE FARMERS AND RANCHERS PREDICT ABILITY AND
[01:20:57] CERTAINTY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE STRONG BORDERS, THAT WE HAVE A
[01:21:00] STRONG MILITARY, THAT WE LOWER TAXES.
[01:21:06] I THREW OUT THEORY AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS THAT MY
[01:21:09] OPPONENT TODAY IS TOO WOKE, TOO
[01:21:11] WEAK, AND DOES NOT STAND FOR ANYTHING.
[01:21:14] BUT REALLY, WHAT DOES HE STAND
[01:21:19] FOR? DOES HE -- IS HE GOING TO VOTE
[01:21:22] FOR CHUCK SCHUMER OR NOT? WOULD HE VOTE FOR A FARM BILL?
[01:21:26] WOULD HE VOTE FOR VOTER ID?
[01:21:28] WOULD HE VOTE TO FUND THE MILITARY?
[01:21:31] DID YOU HEAR ANY OF THOSE OUT OF HIM TODAY?
[01:21:35] NO. HE TRIES TO BE ALL THINGS TO ALL PEOPLE.
[01:21:38] AND WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO GET FROM ME, YOU MAY NOT AGREE WITH
[01:21:41] ME ON EVERYTHING, BUT YOU ARE GOING TO KNOW EXACTLY WHERE I
[01:21:45] STAND, AND I'M GOING TO FIGHT TO PROTECT YOU, YOUR FAMILY, AND
[01:21:48] THESE TRADITIONAL KANSAS VALUES.
[01:21:52] THANK YOU SO MUCH.
[01:21:57] THANK YOU.
[01:22:02] >> ALL RIGHT, SOME THANK YOUS TO DO AS WELL. THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS FROM
