00:02:32ALSO FOR THOSE OF YOU AT HEARTLAND CREDIT UNION PAVILION,
00:02:37TAKE NOTE WE WILL BE ENDING EARLY TODAY AT 2:55.

00:02:43TO GIVE UP HIS 1:00 SLOT AT THE PAVILION.
00:02:47HE IS SCHEDULED TO COME UP AT 3:00.
00:02:50AT THE END OF THE DEBATE, I IMPLORE ALL OF YOU WHO ARE NOT
00:02:53STAYING TO SEE RON DIAMOND,
00:02:56PLEASE EXIT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO MR. DIAMOND HAS HIS FULLY
00:03:00ALLOTTED 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
00:03:18CHOICE 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.
00:03:22THE FLIP WAS WON BY SENATOR MARSHALL.
00:03:25HE CHOSE HIS CLOSING STATEMENT LAST.
00:03:29THE SECOND COIN FLIP DETERMINED THE CHOICE OF THE ORDER OF WHO
00:03:31ANSWERED THE FIRST QUESTION AND
00:03:35THAT FLIP WAS WON BY MR. HAMILTON SO HE WILL ANSWER THE FIRST QUESTION.
00:03:42THEN WE WILL ROTATE IN ORDER THROUGH THE QUESTIONS AS WELL.
00:03:46AS FAR AS THE DEBATE IS CONCERNED, WE HAVE MEMBERS OF
00:03:50THE MEDIA WILL ASK QUESTIONS ON
00:03:51A ROTATING BASIS.
00:03:55FIRST, THE ANCHOR AT KWCH TV IN
00:04:00WICHITA,.
00:04:11, PLEASE WELCOME MICHAEL SHRINKING. NEXT IS SENIOR REPORTER AT KANSAS REFLECTOR, PLEASE WELCOME TIM CARPENTER.
00:04:17AND FINALLY, THE EDITOR OF HIGH
00:04:21PLAINS JOURNAL, PLEASE WELCOME
00:04:23DAVID MEYER -- DAVID ORT MEYER.
00:04:27WE ALWAYS HAVE AN AG JOURNALIST
00:04:30DUE IN PART BECAUSE AGRICULTURE IS THE NUMBER ONE INDUSTRY IN
00:04:34THE STATE OF KANSAS. AS FAR AS THE DEBATE FORMAT, EACH CANDIDATE WILL HAVE TWO
00:04:38MINUTES FOR AN OPENING STATEMENT.
00:04:41AFTER THAT, THE MEDIA PANEL WILL DIRECT QUESTIONS TO THE CANDIDATES.
00:04:45THE CANDIDATE WHO ANSWERS THE
00:04:46QUESTION WILL HAVE 90 SECONDS TO
00:04:49RESPOND AND THE OTHER CANDIDATE WILL HAVE 90 SECONDS TO RESPOND AS WELL.
00:04:53THE CANDIDATE WHO ANSWERS FIRST
00:04:56WILL HAVE 45 SECONDS A REBUTTAL TIME. THIS WILL ALTERNATE THROUGHOUT
00:05:00THE DEBATE.
00:05:06HERE'S ONE THING I WILL TELL YOU. IF THE CANDIDATE IS INTERRUPTED BY THE CROWD TO THE POINT THAT THEY HAVE TO STOP, THE
00:05:09TIMEKEEPER AND MODERATOR HAVE THE DISCRETION TO ADD ADDITIONAL
00:05:11TIME FOR THE CANDIDATE.
00:05:14IT IS OUR CALL AND OUR JUDGMENT.
00:05:20WE WANT TO MAKE SURE FOR EACH SIDE, YOU HAVE PLENTY OF
00:05:24SUPPORTERS IN ATTENDANCE, BUT YOU ALSO HAVE VOTERS THAT MAY BE
00:05:27UNDECIDED RIGHT NOW AND THEY WANT TO HEAR FROM BOTH CANDIDATES.
00:05:31OF COURSE YOU CAN HEAR -- CHEER FOR THE CANDIDATE BUT ALSO
00:05:35UNDERSTAND YOU MAY BE TAKING AWAY FROM THE UNDECIDED VOTER
00:05:38FROM HEARING THE CANDIDATES THEMSELVES. THE TIMEKEEPER TODAY IS KEVIN
00:05:43KING, HIS DIRECTOR AT KWCH TV IN WICHITA.
00:05:48HE WILL HAVE PRINTED SIGNS THAT SAY 30 SECONDS, 15 SECONDS, AND
00:05:58STOP. IF THE CANDIDATE GOES OVER TIME, THE MODERATOR WILL STATE THE CANDIDATE IS OUT OF TIME AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO UNTIL THE
00:06:01CANDIDATE STOPS SPEAKING.
00:06:05AT THE END OF THE DEBATE, THE CANDIDATES WILL BE ALLOWED CLOSING STATEMENTS OF TWO
00:06:08MINUTES IN THE ORDER DETERMINED
00:06:12BEFORE THE START OF THE DEBATE. I HAVE DONE ENOUGH SPEAKING.
00:06:16YOU HEARD ENOUGH RULES. WHAT DO YOU SAY WE GET TO THE DEBATE?
00:06:19[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
00:06:24NOW ALL WE NEED ARE TWO CANDIDATES.
00:06:28HOPEFULLY THEY HEARD THAT CUE.
00:06:37THERE IS ONE, AND THERE'S TWO.
00:06:44[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
00:06:48LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LET ME FIRST INTRODUCE THE REPUBLICAN INCUMBENT, DR. ROGER MARSHALL.
00:06:58[CROWD BOOING AND PL --
00:07:07APPLAUDING] >>>> AND LET ME ALSO INTRODUCE
00:07:08THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE,
00:07:15REVEREND ADAM HAMILTON.
00:07:23SENATOR MARSHALL WON THE TOSS AND DECIDED TO DO HIS CLOSING STATEMENT LAST.
00:07:26WE WILL START WITH ADAM HAMILTON WITH HIS OPENING STATEMENT OF TWO MINUTES.
00:07:31REV. HAMILTON: MY NAME IS ADAM
00:07:35HAMILTON AND MY FAMILY MOVED TO KANSAS IN 1870 TWO DICKENSON
00:07:38COUNTY AND FOUNDED A TOWN CALLED POPE, WHICH I REALLY LOVE.
00:07:43THE CATHOLIC CHURCH THEY BUILT IN THE 1870'S IS STILL STANDING.
00:07:46MY FAMILY ENDED UP MOVING TO THE PRAIRIE VILLAGE AREA AND THAT'S
00:07:50WHERE I GREW UP. I HAD A CHANCE TO MARRY MY HIGH
00:07:53SCHOOL SWEETHEART.
00:08:00WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED 44 YEARS. SHE IS HERE TODAY, WE HAVE TWO CHILDREN, AND A GRANDDAUGHTER
00:08:02WHO IS THE LOVE OF OUR LIFE. SHE HERE TODAY. STELLA, STAND UP SO PEOPLE COULD
00:08:06SEE WHO YOU ARE. I HAVE BEEN A PASTOR FOR 38
00:08:10YEARS. I LOVE MY JOB AS A PASTOR AND I
00:08:14SPENT 38 YEARS PREACHING AND
00:08:14TEACHING THE SCRIPTURES, AND
00:08:18TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A DECENT
00:08:20HUMAN BEING?HOW ARE
00:08:25WE TO LIVE OUR LIVES TO LOVE GOD AND FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS? THIS MORNING AS AN EVERY MORNING
00:08:27FOR THE LAST 40 PLUS YEARS, I
00:08:36SLIPPED 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
00:08:39YOUR WILL AND LIVE IT, HELP ME TO BE SALT AND LIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD AND THE PEOPLE GATHERED HERE, ROGER
00:08:43MARSHALL AS WELL. THAT'S AN ESSENTIAL PART OF WHO
00:08:44I AM.
00:08:49MY 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
00:08:53THE LAST 38 YEARS.
00:08:58THERE IS AN INDECENCY IN WASHINGTON, A CRUELTY IN WASHINGTON. THERE ARE POLICIES HURTING
00:09:01PEOPLE BACK IN KANSAS.
00:09:04I GUESS THE QUESTION I WOULD ASK YOU IS, ARE YOU HAPPY WITH HOW THINGS ARE IN WASHINGTON?
00:09:08[CROWD SCREAMING "NO"]
00:09:14REV. HAMILTON: IF YOUR ANSWER IS YES, YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR ROGER MARSHALL.
00:09:17IF NOT, I WANT YOU TO CONSIDER VOTING FOR ME.
00:09:22IN WASHINGTON WE SEE A HOST OF THINGS.
00:09:25GASOLINE PRICES, RECORD GASOLINE
00:09:27PRICES, RECORD DIESEL PRICES, A
00:09:30CRUELTY AND INHUMANITY IN THE
00:09:31WAY WE TREAT FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS.
00:09:35THAT'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.
00:09:46SENATOR MARSHALL, YOUR TWO MINUTE OPENING STATEMENT.
00:09:48SEN. MARSHALL: THANK YOU AND WELCOME EVERYBODY TO THE KANSAS
00:09:51STATE FAIR.
00:09:55JUST LAST WEEKEND, MY WIFE AND I WERE CHATTING AND SHE SUGGESTED
00:09:59I SHARE WITH THE CROWD WHY WE MOVED GREAT BAND.
00:10:05I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU -- I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU --
00:10:09[CROWD YELLING AND BOOING]
00:10:17SEN. MARSHALL: NOW I DON'T KNOW
00:10:21ABOUT YOU BUT I THINK IT'S GOOD ADVICE TO TAKE YOUR WIFE'S ADVICE.
00:10:24WITHIN A WEEK OF EACH OTHER, MY
00:10:27WIFE AND I GRADUATED FROM NURSING SCHOOL AND MEDICAL SCHOOL.
00:10:30FOUR YEARS LATER, SHE IS AN ACCOMPLISHED NEONATAL AND
00:10:36INTENSIVE CARE NURSE. WE FINISHED OUR RESIDENCY AND
00:10:38WE'VE MADE THE TYPICAL INTERVIEWS ACROSS BIG CITIES.
00:10:41WE WERE OFFERED MULTIPLE JOBS BUT WHEN WE CAME TO GREAT BEND,
00:10:45SOMETHING WAS DIFFERENT THERE. THEY TALKED ABOUT SCHOOLS,
00:10:48CHURCHES AND THEIR HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM AS OPPOSED TO
00:10:52BIG-CITY GOLF COURSES AND SHOPPING MALLS.
00:10:54WHAT WE FOUND OUT THERE, WHAT WE
00:10:59FOUND OUT WAS THAT THE OB/GYN WAS GOING TO RETIRE AND I WOULD
00:11:02BE THE ONLY OB/GYN IN THE MIDDLE OF 65,000 PEOPLE.
00:11:11[CROWD YELLING]
00:11:16OVER THE NEXT 25 YEARS, WE
00:11:18DELIVERED 5000 BABIES AND RAISED FOUR CHILDREN.
00:11:26AND ONE OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS TO DO WAS TO COME VISIT THE STATE FAIR.
00:11:30THIS MORNING AS WE WERE WALKING
00:11:31AROUND THE STATE FAIR, IN THE
00:11:34CATTLE PENS, I THOUGHT TO
00:11:38MYSELF, IN A STATE WITH MORE CATTLE THAN PEOPLE, WOULDN'T IT
00:11:42BE A CRYING SHAME IF WE HAD A SENATOR WHO SAID WE SHOULD
00:11:45REPENT FROM EATING BEEF?
00:11:48[SCATTERED APPLAUSE AND BOOING]
00:11:57REV. HAMILTON: IN TODAY'S DEBATE, YOU WILL SEE MY OPPONENT
00:11:58IS TOO WOKE, HE IS TOO WEAK --
00:12:08[CROWD BOOS]
00:12:12[LAUGHTER]
00:12:15HE'S TOO WEAK AND HE DOESN'T STAND FOR ANYTHING AND HE TRIES TO BE ALL THINGS FOR ALL PEOPLE.
00:12:20YOU MAY NOT AGREE WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE TO SAY TODAY --
00:12:23>> SENATOR, YOU ARE OUT OF TIME.
00:12:28SEN. MARSHALL: YOU WILL KNOW WHERE I STAND AND BY THE END OF THIS DEBATE, YOU KNOW THAT I
00:12:31WILL 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
00:12:48QUESTION AND AS DETERMINED BY THE COIN FLIP, THIS WILL BE
00:12:51ASKED DIRECTLY TO MR. HAMILTON FIRST.
00:12:55IT WILL COME FROM MICHAEL WITH KWCH TV.
00:12:56>> THANK YOU TO BOTH CANDIDATES
00:13:00FOR BEING HERE TODAY. I WANT TO START WITH NEWS OUT
00:13:03THIS WEEK.
00:13:06THAT 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.
00:13:30REV. HAMILTON: THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT'S WRONG IN WASHINGTON DC
00:13:34RIGHT NOW.
00:13:38CAN YOU REMEMBER A TIME WHEN A SITTING PRESIDENT WOULD TRY TO BRIBE AMERICANS TO VOTE FOR HIS PARTY?
00:13:41NOBODY HAS DONE IT BEFORE. THIS IS ABSURD.
00:13:43WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT BRIBING PEOPLE WITH $5,000 CHECKS IF
00:13:47THEY PLEASE VOTE FOR MY PARTY, YOU HAVE TO PAY PEOPLE FOR
00:13:51VOTING FOR YOUR PARTY?BECAUSE THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT YOUR POSITIONS.
00:13:54I WANT TO KNOW, HOW ARE WE
00:13:56PAYING FOR THIS?
00:14:01WE HAVE $1 TRILLION WE WILL SPEND ON THIS TO BRIBE PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR YOUR PARTY, THAT'S
00:14:16WRONG. WE HAVE A 40 TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT. IF YOU HAVE $1 TRILLION LAYING AROUND, PAY IT OUT OF THE DEBT OR RESTORE MEDICARE BENEFITS.
00:14:19DON'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
00:14:23FOR THIS. ABSOLUTELY NOT.
00:14:28[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
00:14:29>> SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU HAVE 90
00:14:34SECONDS TO RESPOND. SEN. MARSHALL: RIGHT. YOU ALL KNOW I'M A PHYSICIAN.
00:14:39I HAVE BEEN A MAJOR TWICE --
00:14:46MEASURE TWICE AND COUNT ONCE.
00:14:49I WILL LOOK AT ALL THE INFORMATION AND THEN MAKE A DECISION.
00:14:53[CROWD BOOING]
00:14:59BUT LOOK. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE DISAGREED WITH PRESIDENT
00:15:03TRUMP AND IT PROBABLY WON'T BE THE LAST.
00:15:08YOU KNOW, INSTEAD, I WILL BE
00:15:12FOCUSED ON KANSAS JOBS. I WILL BE FOCUSED ON PROTECTING
00:15:16KANSAS AGRICULTURE AND THE KANSAS CATTLE INDUSTRY.
00:15:20THINK ABOUT THIS.
00:15:23THE CATTLE INDUSTRY NEEDS 45,000
00:15:26JOBS AND MY OPPONENT WANTS TO
00:15:28BURN THE CATTLE INDUSTRY DOWN,
00:15:32HE GIVES AN ENTIRE SERMONS -- THAT HE GIVES ENTIRE SERMONS ON
00:15:36THE GREEN NEW DEAL AND CLIMATE
00:15:43CHANGE. 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
00:15:47EXPENSIVE.
00:15:49SO MY FOCUS --
00:15:58[CROWD CHANTING]
00:15:59>> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, CAN WE
00:16:04HAVE QUIET AND RESPECT ON BOTH SIDES FOR THEM TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS? SEN. MARSHALL: LOOK.
00:16:11WHAT I'M GOING TO GIVE THE KANSAS FARMERS AND RANCHERS IS
00:16:15PREDICTABILITY AND CERTAINTY.
00:16:20. I WILL GIVE THEM A FARM BILL THAT EVERY DEMOCRAT ON THE SENATE JUST VOTED AGAINST.
00:16:24I'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
00:16:31ENDORSEMENT. THANK YOU KANSAS FARM BUREAU.
00:16:36>> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 45
00:16:41SECONDS FOR A REBUTTAL. REV. HAMILTON: I NOTICED THE
00:16:44LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY DID NOT GIVE YOU THAT ENDORSEMENT. THAT'S INTERESTING.
00:16:49SO HERE'S THE PROBLEM.
00:16:53SENATORS ARE ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE TO BE THEIR CHAMPION IN
00:16:56WASHINGTON, D.C., NOT HIRED BY THE WHITE HOUSE TO BE THEIR SPOKESPERSON FOR THE PEOPLE IN
00:17:00THE STATE.
00:17:04CURRENTLY, OUR SITTING SENATOR HAS A VERY HARD TIME SPEAKING UP
00:17:05TO THE PRESIDENT.
00:17:09HAS A VERY DIFFICULT TIME SAYING MR. PRESIDENT, THIS IS CORRUPT. THIS IS NOT OK. I DIDN'T HEAR IT AFTER
00:17:13WEDNESDAY. I THINK YOU WERE THERE FOR THE SPEECH.
00:17:16DID NOT HEAR IT THAT NIGHT. BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE SOMEONE
00:17:19WILLING TO DO WHAT A SENATOR IS SUPPOSED TO DO, SPEAK UP AGAINST
00:17:23POWER 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
00:17:47KANSANS. TELL US HOW AFTER YOU LEAVE THIS
00:17:51DEBATE STAGE YOU PLAN TO CONSISTENTLY AND PUBLICLY REACH
00:17:54OUT, INTERACT, AND CONNECT WITH YOUR EMPLOYERS AFTER THE
00:17:57NOVEMBER ELECTION, WHETHER THEY VOTED FOR YOU OR NOT?
00:18:00>> SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES TO RESPOND.
00:18:04SEN. MARSHALL: I APPRECIATE THE QUESTION. I WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY I
00:18:08HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE AT ALL 105 COUNTIES EVERY YEAR.
00:18:12105 COUNTIES SIX YEARS IN A ROW.
00:18:16EVERY YEAR -- EVERY YEAR I DO
00:18:22BETWEEN 350 AND 400 STOPS ACROSS
00:18:24THE GREAT STATE OF KANSAS.
00:18:31IN MY OFFICE, WE SEE BETWEEN 20
00:18:33AND 40 GROUPS OF KANSANS EVERY
00:18:37WEEK IN THE OFFICE AS WELL.
00:18:39WE HAVE EMAILS, PHONE CALLS, ALL
00:18:42THOSE THINGS TO STAY IN TOUCH. I THINK AGRICULTURE IS A GREAT
00:18:46EXAMPLE. IF YOU WANT TO STAY IN TOUCH, GO
00:18:49SIT WITH A FARMER AND HE WILL TELL YOU WE NEED PREDICTABILITY
00:18:53AND CERTAINTY, THAT WE NEED A FARM BILL.
00:18:55THAT WE NEED A FARM BILL, AND I
00:18:58THINK THE QUESTION FOR MY OPPONENT IS WILL HE EVER STAND UP TO CHUCK SCHUMER?
00:19:04WILL HE BE THE ONLY DEMOCRAT THAT WOULD VOTE FOR THE FARM BILL?
00:19:07WILL HE BE THE ONLY PERSON THAT
00:19:08STANDS UP FOR YEAR-ROUND E 15
00:19:13AND THE PREDICTABILITY
00:19:17UNCERTAINTY, OR ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE THE $30 MILLION CHUCK SCHUMER IS GOING TO GIVE YOU?
00:19:20ARE YOU GOING TO DO THE FUNDRAISER CHUCK SCHUMER HAS PLANNED FOR YOU?
00:19:24I THINK THAT'S THE REAL QUESTION WE SHOULD ASK.
00:19:27YOU CALL YOURSELF AN INDEPENDENT DEMOCRAT, BUT WILL YOU HAVE THE
00:19:31GUTS 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
00:19:44SECONDS TO RESPOND. REV. HAMILTON: I LOVE THE ACTUAL ORIGINAL QUESTION.
00:19:48I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT.
00:19:49YOU WORK FOR ALL PEOPLE, OR ONLY
00:19:52SOME OF THE PEOPLE?
00:19:57TRAVELING ACROSS THE STATE, THERE ARE REPUBLICANS COMING TO ME AND SAYING YOU SHARE OUR VALUES.
00:20:02I HAVE NOT VOTED FOR A DEMOCRAT IN THE PAST, BUT I'M VOTING FOR YOU.
00:20:05GOVERNOR BILL GRAVES THIS WEEK ENDORSED ME.
00:20:09WE HAVE A CUTE ALERT CADRE OF PEOPLE WHO ARE REPUBLICANS FOR
00:20:12HAMILTON BECAUSE THEY KNOW THIS DOES NOT REPRESENT REPUBLICAN VALUES.
00:20:15WHAT IS HAPPENING IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
00:20:17I WILL WORK ACROSS THE AISLE. I AM A MODERATE
00:20:21INDEPENDENT-MINDED DEMOCRAT. THANK YOU.
00:20:24AND I AM GOING TO WORK TOGETHER.
00:20:27RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A FIVE YEAR FARM BILL, HE IS IN YEAR EIGHT.
00:20:30HE'S BEEN ON THE AG COMMITTEE
00:20:33AND THE SENATE AND HAS HE GOT IT
00:20:45ACROSS? 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
00:20:49AISLE BECAUSE HE STRUGGLES TO WORK WITH PEOPLE ON THE E OTHER SIDE.
00:20:52>> YOU HAVE 45 SECONDS FOR REBUTTAL.
00:20:56SEN. MARSHALL: LIKE I SAID. MY OPPONENT DOESN'T STAND FOR
00:20:59ANYTHING. [CROWD BOOING]
00:21:07YOU STILL HAVE NO IDEA -- I ASKED HIM A VERY SPECIFIC QUESTION.
00:21:12ADAM, WILL YOU VOTE FOR THE FARM BILL?
00:21:15YOU WILL BE THE ONLY DEMOCRAT TO
00:21:18STAND UP AND VOTE FOR THE FARM
00:21:23BILL?ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE CHUCK SCHUMER'S $30 MILLION OR ARE YOU GOING TO
00:21:25STAND IN LINE AND WITH OTHER
00:21:28DEMOCRATS WHO VOTED AGAINST VOTER ID AND FUNDING FOR THE
00:21:31MILITARY AS WELL? EVERY OTHER DEMOCRAT HAS BEEN
00:21:34ABLE TO DO NOTHING YOU ARE
00:21:38DESCRIBING. WHEN YOU TAKE $30 MILLION FROM CHUCK SCHUMER, YOU WILL BE AT HIS BECK AND CALL AS WELL.
00:21:41WE NEED A PERSON ON THE AG
00:21:45COMMITTEE THAT ACTUALLY KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEIFERS AND STEER.
00:21:51RIGHT? THANK YOU SO MUCH. [LAUGHTER]
00:21:54>> MR. HAMILTON, 45 SECONDS FOR REBUTTAL.
00:22:00REV. HAMILTON: I'M STILL LOOKING FOR THE $30 MILLION FROM CHUCK SCHUMER. I DON'T THINK I'VE GOTTEN THAT
00:22:03YET. SEN. MARSHALL: IT WILL BE THERE NEXT WEEK. REV. HAMILTON: IT IS SO
00:22:07INTERESTING TO HEAR YOU SPEAK ABOUT THIS AS A GUY WHO HAS $1
00:22:10MILLION IN PAC ADS RUNNING
00:22:16AGAINST ME. BUT I AM GOING TO WORK ACROSS
00:22:17THE AISLE. YOU HAVE TO ASK THE QUESTION,
00:22:21WHY ARE THE DEMOCRATS HOLDING UP
00:22:22THE FARM BILL?I'M IN FAVOR
00:22:27OF THE FARM BILL, I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT DONE BECAUSE WE WOULD COMPROMISE AND FOUND A SOLUTION.
00:22:31THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR THE STATES WHOSE SNAP BENEFITS ARE TAKEN
00:22:34AWAY BY YOU.
00:22:41WE 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.
00:22:55THE NEXT QUESTION.
00:23:04WILL BE FOR SENATOR MARSHALL.
00:23:07IT WILL COME FROM DAVID OF THE HIGH PLAINS JOURNAL.
00:23:10>> THANK YOU ADAM AND ROGER FOR BEING HERE.
00:23:15MY QUESTION IS ONE THAT MANY PEOPLE WERE ASKING ABOUT IN
00:23:19RECENT DAYS. THE IRAN WAR HAS COMPLICATED
00:23:23COSTS OF DIESEL FUEL EXPENSES AND HIT THE BOTTOM LINE OF MANY
00:23:25FARMERS AND RANCHERS.
00:23:30WHAT 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
00:23:43INPUT COST AND DIESEL FUEL EXPENSES AND HIT THE BOTTOM LINE
00:23:46OF MANY FARMERS AND CONSUMERS AND RANCHERS.WHAT CAN YOU DO AS A SENATOR
00:23:51TO ASSURE THE SHORT-TERM PAIN IS WORSE LONG TERM GAIN?
00:23:56SEN. MARSHALL: AND BY FIRST? AM I FIRST?
00:24:02>> MY APOLOGIES ON THAT, SENATOR
00:24:06MARSHALL, YOU ARE FIRST. SEN. MARSHALL: THANKS DAVID, I
00:24:10APPRECIATE YOUR WORK. LISTEN, I HATE WAR.
00:24:17WITH ALL ITS FUTILITY.
00:24:20YOU KNOW WHO SAID THAT FIRST?
00:24:21PRESIDENT EISENHOWER. I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT I HATE
00:24:25WAR JUST AS MUCH. LOOK.
00:24:29LOOK.
00:24:34I SERVED MY COUNTRY PROUDLY. MY BROTHER SERVED.
00:24:37MY DAD SERVED. MY SON IS SERVING.
00:24:43ARE THERE ANY VETERANS IN THE AUDIENCE?
00:24:46THANK YOU, GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR VETERANS.
00:24:51I MOURNED THE LOSS OF ALL 18
00:24:58SOLDIERS, AND I WANT THIS WAR TO BE OVER AS SOON AS ANYBODY DOES. BUT THE ONE THING I CAN
00:25:01GUARANTEE YOU, THE DATE THIS WAR IS OVER WITH, DIESEL PRICES ARE
00:25:05GOING TO GO BACK TO THREE DOLLARS A GALLON.
00:25:08[CROWD BOOING]
00:25:12SEN. MARSHALL: [LAUGHTER]
00:25:15BUT IF DEMOCRATS REMAIN IN CONTROL AND IRAN HAS NUCLEAR
00:25:18WEAPONS, IT WILL BE $20 A GALLON.
00:25:25YOU THINK IT'S BAD THAT MY OPPONENT DOESN'T LIKE THE CATTLE
00:25:31INDUSTRY. IF HE HAD HIS WAY, HE WOULD PUT A PLASTIC BAG OVER THE MOUTHS OF THESE DAIRY COWS BACK HERE.
00:25:36THINK WHAT IT WILL DO TO THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY.
00:25:41HIS PARTY HAS DESTROYED THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY AND THE AG AND
00:25:45CATTLE INDUSTRY AS WELL. [CROWD YELLING]
00:25:52>> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 90 SECONDS TO RESPOND. REV. HAMILTON: FIRST OF ALL
00:25:54THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE, SENATOR. I APPRECIATE YOUR SERVICE AND
00:25:58YOUR FAMILIES AS WELL. [APPLAUSE]
00:26:02EISENHOWER WOULD HAVE NEVER SUPPORTED THIS WAR. NEVER SUPPORTED THIS.
00:26:06RONALD REAGAN DID NOT DO THIS.
00:26:08NEITHER OF THE BUSHES. DID THIS.
00:26:13PRESIDENT TRUMP TOLD US LAST YEAR AFTER HE DROPPED BOMBS ON
00:26:17THE NUCLEAR FACILITY IN IRAN THAT HE HAD TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IT WAS BURIED UNDER
00:26:27RUBBLE. SUDDENLY THIS YEAR WE NEEDED TO SEND AN ARMADA TO IRAN BECAUSE
00:26:29WE ARE UNDER OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
00:26:34I'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
00:26:46COST ALL OF US AS INDIVIDUALS AS
00:26:48A RESULT OF HIGHER PRICES.
00:26:51IF YOU LOVE SIX DOLLAR A GALLON
00:26:54DIESEL FUEL, YOU CAN THANK ROGER MARSHALL.
00:26:55HE SUPPORTED THIS.
00:27:00HE TOLD US TO TIGHTEN OUR BELTS BECAUSE THIS WAS THE COST OF BEING SAFE IN AMERICA.
00:27:04WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE OUT OF THE WAR AFTER FOUR WEEKS, MAYBE SIX WEEKS. WE ARE SIX MONTHS IN AND CAN'T
00:27:08FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET OUT.
00:27:13TALK TO FARMERS. PHOSPHATE, A DOUBLE IN PRICE. THIS IS COSTING ALL OF US AT THE GROCERY STORE.
00:27:16THIS 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
00:27:30SECONDS FOR REBUTTAL. SEN. MARSHALL: RIGHT.
00:27:36WOULD ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE ROOM
00:27:40WHO WANT IRAN TO HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON RAISE HER HAND FOR ME?
00:27:43OF COURSE THEY DON'T.
00:27:47I WOULD ALSO --
00:27:52[CROWD YELLING]
00:27:56I'M GOING TO POINT OUT THE AVERAGE COST OF GASOLINE HAS
00:28:00BEEN LESS UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP THEN IT WAS UNDER JOE BIDEN.
00:28:03[CROWD YELLING AND BOOING]
00:28:07YOU CAN LOOK IT UP.
00:28:09YOU CAN FACT-CHECK IT AS WELL.
00:28:13THIS GUY'S PARTY WILL CONTINUE TO ATTACK THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY. WE HAVE NOT HAD A REFINERY BELT
00:28:16SINCE I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL. WE LOST 90 REFINERIES BECAUSE OF
00:28:21THE RULES AND REGULATIONS.
00:28:27HIS PARTY IS THE ONE THAT DRIVES UP THE COST OF OIL AND GAS. I ASK YOU AGAIN, ARE YOU GOING
00:28:29TO GO TO CHUCK SCHUMER'S FUNDRAISING FOR YOUR $30
00:28:33MILLION, WILL YOU BE ABLE
00:28:38TO STAND UP TO CHUCK SCHUMER AND FIGHT BACK AGAINST HIM WHEN IT
00:28:41COMES TO THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY?
00:28:44[CROWD YELLING]
00:28:48>> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BEFORE
00:28:51WE GET TO THE NEXT QUESTION, AS WE GET TO NEAR THE TOP OF THE
00:28:54HOUR WE WILL PAUSE QUICKLY FOR STATION IDENTIFICATION ON RADIO.
00:28:59YOU CAN CHEER, BY THE WAY.
00:29:00YOU ARE LISTENING TO THE 2020 SIX KANSAS SENATOR DEBATE AT THE
00:29:04KANSAS STATE FAIR.
00:29:17WE ARE GOING TO DO THAT IN JUST
00:29:19A SECOND.
00:29:22OUR ENGINEER IS A NOT UP THERE SO WE WILL GO TO THE NEXT
00:29:26QUESTION.
00:29:29AND -- WE WILL GO TO, THIS ONE
00:29:34WILL BE THE SENATOR MARSHALL.
00:29:39>> I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR YOUR
00:29:42THOUGHTS ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM OR ISSUE
00:29:44FACING KANSAS AND I WOULD LIKE
00:29:48YOU TO EXPAND OUTSIDE THE FARM BILL. WHERE DO YOU THINK WASHINGTON IS
00:29:52FAILING KANSAS?
00:29:55WHAT WOULD YOU DO A SENATOR TO ADDRESS THAT? .
00:29:58SEN. MARSHALL: THE BIGGEST LONG
00:30:00CHALLENGE THE NATION FACES IS
00:30:03OUR NATIONAL DEBT, $40 TRILLION.
00:30:07WE ARE SPENDING $1 TRILLION PER YEAR ON INTEREST. THAT IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE.
00:30:11REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ARE VERY GUILTY OF THAT SITUATION.
00:30:17I HAVE SOLUTIONS FOR IT AND IT STARTS WITH THE BUDGET. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HASN'T
00:30:21DONE A BUDGET IN DECADE.
00:30:21WE HAVE A SOLID BUDGET BILL BUT
00:30:26I CAN'T GET PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON TO GET INVESTED IN IT. LUCK.
00:30:32AMERICANS NEED TO GO ON A DIET.
00:30:34I DON'T MEAN A SEAFOOD DIET.
00:30:37WE ARE SPENDING $7 TRILLION PER YEAR.
00:30:42AT THE END OF THE DAY, AT THE END OF THE DAY WE NEED A STRONG
00:30:46ECONOMY. A RISING TIDE FLOATS ALL BOATS.
00:30:51I WILL KEEP COMING BACK TO KANSAS AND WHAT'S IMPORTANT.
00:30:55IT IS THE AGGREGATE ECONOMY,
00:30:57MANUFACTURING, THE BASIS OF
00:31:01EVERY ECONOMY WE HAVE. WE ARE SEEING MANUFACTURING ACROSS THE STATE.
00:31:05IT IS GREAT TO SEE THAT.
00:31:09IT STARTS WITH CONGRESS LIVING
00:31:12WITHIN ITS MEANS AND FOCUSING ON GROWING A STRONGER ECONOMY.
00:31:19>> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 90
00:31:22SECONDS TO RESPOND. REV. HAMILTON: SENATOR MARSHALL
00:31:25SAYS THAT IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM. $40 TRILLION.
00:31:29YOU KNOW WHAT IT WAS WHEN HE WENT TO WASHINGTON? $20 TRILLION.
00:31:33IN DOUBLED ON HIS WATCH.
00:31:36THE LAST YEAR AND 10 MONTHS,
00:31:39WASHINGTON HAS INCREASED THE DEBT BY $3.8 TRILLION WHILE THEY
00:31:42HELD BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS AND THE WHITE HOUSE.
00:31:45WE WILL HAVE FASTER GROWTH IN THE DEBT THAN WE DID UNDER BIDEN.
00:31:50THAT WAS DURING COVID.
00:31:54AND OUR PRESIDENT WANTS TO SPEND ANOTHER WOMAN TRILLION DOLLARS TO BUY PEOPLE'S VOTES ON TOP OF THAT.
00:31:59HE SAYS HE TRIED TO MOVE FORWARD LEGISLATION BUT NOBODY SEEMS TO
00:32:02GET ON BOARD.
00:32:06THE JOB OF LEADERSHIP IS TO PERSUADE PEOPLE TO GET ON BOARD THAT MIGHT SAY SOMETHING. YOU ASK ME AND I WILL TELL YOU
00:32:10THE BIGGEST ISSUE FOR KANSAS IS THE WAR AND TERROR.
00:32:14IT IS COSTING THE AVERAGE KANSAN
00:32:17$100 MORE PER MONTH IN GAS AND
00:32:21WE HAVE HAD 55 TARIFF CHANGES.
00:32:25CANADA, WE TRIED $4 MILLION
00:32:29WORTH OF GOODS WITH CANADA AND WE ARE DEMEANING AND BELITTLING
00:32:32OUR BIGGEST TRADING PARTNER,, TELLING THEM WE CAN'T -- THEY
00:32:37CAN'T SELL AIRPLANES HERE WHEN
00:32:41WE HAVE AIRPLANE EMPLOYEES IN WICHITA. WHO WANTS TO GET RID OF 1500 JOBS?
00:32:46OUR SENATOR FINALLY SPEAKS UP AFTER A DAY AND A HALF.
00:32:49WE HAVE TO FIGHT AGAINST TARIFFS
00:32:53AND THE WAR IN IRAN. LET'S LOWER COSTS FOR EVERYBODY.
00:33:03>> SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU HAVE 45
00:33:07SECONDS FOR REBUTTAL. SEN. MARSHALL: UNDER JOE BIDEN
00:33:10WE SAW A SPENDING BILL FROM
00:33:145-7,000,000,000,000 DOLLARS OVERALL -- OVERNIGHT.
00:33:17THERE ISN'T A MAGIC BULLET.
00:33:21TO HAVE A STRONG COUNTRY IT STARTS WITH SECURE BORDERS.
00:33:28WE NEED A STRONG MILITARY. WE NEED LOWER TAXES.
00:33:30THAT IS WHAT THE REPUBLICANS HAVE GIVEN YOU.
00:33:35WE GAVE THE LARGEST TAX CUT IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
00:33:38AND AGAIN.
00:33:43WE GAVE YOU THE LARGEST TAX CUT
00:33:45IN AMERICAN HISTORY, $1700 PER
00:33:49KANSAN BUT EVERY DEMOCRAT VOTED AGAINST THE TAX CUTS.
00:33:52WILL YOU EVER STAND UP TO CHUCK SCHUMER AND VOTE TO GIVE AMERICANS A TAX CUT?
00:33:56WILL YOU EVER DO THAT?
00:33:58NO DEMOCRAT EVERY -- EVER VOTES
00:34:01FOR A TAX CUT. REPUBLICANS WILL GIVE YOU TAX CUTS.
00:34:07HE WILL RAISE YOUR TAXES.
00:34:09>> ALL RIGHT.
00:34:12NEXT QUESTION IS FOR MR.
00:34:15HAMILTON AND IT WILL COME FROM TIM CARPENTER WITH THE KANSAS REFLECTOR.
00:34:18>> THERE HAS BEEN CONTROVERSY ABOUT YOUR RESIDENTIAL
00:34:22PROPERTIES TO BOTH OF YOU.
00:34:25PLEASE CLARIFY THE LOCATION OF YOUR OFFICIAL RESIDENCE IN KANSAS AND HOW LONG YOU HAVE
00:34:29LIVED THERE. WHAT OTHER RESIDENTIAL
00:34:33PROPERTIES DO YOU OWN, AND PLEASE RESPOND TO CRITICISM OF
00:34:37YOUR HOUSING DECISION.
00:34:38>> MR. HAMILTON YOU HAVE 90 SECONDS.
00:34:42REV. HAMILTON: I LIVE IN KANSAS. I'M HERE MOST OF THE YEAR.
00:34:48WE BUILT OUR HOUSE 25 YEARS AGO.
00:34:50ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO, I WRITE BOOKS AND WE BOUGHT A LATE PLACE.
00:34:54WE HAVE POSTMASTERS, ALL SORTS
00:34:57OF FOLKS WHO LIVE AROUND US, FOLKS WHO WORK IN CONSTRUCTION
00:35:00AND WE ARE GRATEFUL TO HAVE A SECOND HOME.
00:35:03THE TWO OTHER HOMES BELONG TO OUR DAUGHTERS.
00:35:06THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY HOUSES,
00:35:11SO WE BOUGHT HOUSES FOR THEM. . HURRIEDLY LUXURY HOUSES.
00:35:13THEY ARE MORE LIKE YOUR HUNTING LODGE.
00:35:19THEY ARE BUYING THEIR OWN HOMES WHEN THEY CAN.
00:35:22THAT IS PART OF THE REASON WE HAD TO DO THAT IS BECAUSE THE
00:35:25AVERAGE AGE YOU BUY A NEW HOUSE TODAY IS 40 BECAUSE OF THE DECISIONS YOU MADE IN WASHINGTON.
00:35:31SO PEOPLE IN THEIR 30'S ARE STRUGGLING TO BUY HOUSES. THEY NEED THEIR PARENTS HELP.
00:35:35THAT IS OUR LUXURY LIFE. WE LOVE KANSAS AND WILL LIVE
00:35:39HERE AFTER I'M ELECTED. I WILL NOT SELL MY HOUSE AND MOVED TO FLORIDA.
00:35:50>> SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU HAVE 90
00:35:56SECONDS TO RESPOND. SEN. MARSHALL: MY HOME IS A
00:35:59SHORT HOUR'S DRIVE DOWN A GRAND -- A GRAVEL ROAD HERE.
00:36:04IT SITS ON 320 ACRES OF SOME OF
00:36:07GOD'S FINEST LAND AND HUNTING.
00:36:10IT IS SURROUNDED BY PALMS -- PONDS.
00:36:13WE BOUGHT IT IN ABOUT 1999.
00:36:15WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND, DOES
00:36:19ANYBODY HAVE ANY GRANDCHILDREN?
00:36:21THE GRANDCHILDREN ARE THE JEWELS OF OUR CROWN.
00:36:25I DON'T THINK ANY REASONABLE
00:36:29KANSAN WOULD HOLD IT AGAIN SOMEBODY WANTS TO VISIT THEIR GRANDCHILDREN.
00:36:33I SEE NO REASON. NOW.
00:36:37I WILL NEED EXTRA TIME.
00:36:42SO. NO DIFFERENT THAN KANSAS SHOULD
00:36:46BEGRUDGE ADAM FOR OWNING FOUR HOMES.
00:36:49ONE OF THE MALEIC HOME.
00:36:53HE HAS RUN A SUCCESSFUL MEGA CHURCH. HE HAS EARNED THOSE.
00:36:57AS FAR AS OUR FLORIDA HOME, YOU
00:37:00WOULD BE GLAD TO NOTE WAS STRUCK
00:37:03BY TWO HURRICANES AND HAS BEEN UNINHABITABLE FOR TWO YEARS.
00:37:06BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT, HOUSING IS IMPORTANT.
00:37:10I THINK THIS JOB AS SENATOR IS IMPORTANT AS WELL.
00:37:15I SAID EARLIER, I SPENT 350, 400
00:37:18VISITS TO THE STATE EVERY YEAR. .
00:37:21EVERY YEAR I GO TO D.C., I SPENT 200 DAYS VOTING AND I SPEND 135
00:37:25DAYS BACK IN THE STATE. OUR STATE BUSTS OUR TAIL FOR
00:37:29THIS STATE. THIS IS ALL THE SOCIAL MEDIA
00:37:34MATH MADE BY THE SOCIAL MEDIA
00:37:39KNOTS, AS WELL. LIFETIME KANSAN,
00:37:43FIFTH-GENERATION KANSAN. THANK YOU.
00:37:46>> MR. HAMILTON.
00:37:50YOU HAVE 45 SECONDS FOR REBUTTAL.
00:37:53REV. HAMILTON: I WILL TAKE THAT LONG. THE SENATOR ASKED, DOES HE
00:37:59RESENT SPENDING TIME WITH GRANDKIDS? I WANT HIM TO SPEND MORE TIME
00:38:02WITH HIS GRANDKIDS.
00:38:06I'M HOPEFUL TO BE ABLE TO BLESS
00:38:08HIM IN RETIREMENT TO ENJOY HIS GRANDKIDS MORE IN FLORIDA.
00:38:11I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH THEM.
00:38:15I WANT YOU TO SPEND ALL THE TIME IN FLORIDA WITH YOUR GRANDKIDS.
00:38:23>> ALL RIGHT.
00:38:26BEFORE WE GET TO THE NEXT QUESTION, A REMINDER.
00:38:30IF YOU ARE HERE AT THE PAVILION,
00:38:33TAKE NOTE THAT WE ARE ENDING
00:38:34EARLY AT TWO: 55.
00:38:38RON WAS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO GIVE
00:38:40US THE PAVILION AND HE IS
00:38:43SCHEDULED TO COME ON AT 3:00. SO ALL OF YOU WHO ARE NOT
00:38:47STAYING TO SEE RON DIAMOND, EXIT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER THE
00:38:51DEBATE SO MR. DIAMOND HAS HIS ALLOTTED TIME AS WELL.
00:38:55WE MOVE ON. THE NEXT QUESTION WILL BE
00:39:00DIRECTED TO SENATOR MARSHALL.
00:39:02IT COMES FROM DAVID AT THE HIGH PLAINS JOURNAL.
00:39:06>> FELT LIKE THERE IS A LESS
00:39:09FILLING, TASTES GREAT MOMENT.
00:39:12MANY KANSAS AGRICULTURAL MANUFACTURERS DEPEND ON ALUMINUM
00:39:16AND STEEL FOR SUPPLIERS.
00:39:20TARIFFS HAVE ADDED EXPENSES TO THE BOTTOM LINE.
00:39:24YOU THINK TARIFF POLICIES FROM THE PRESIDENT HAVE WORKED?
00:39:26ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT THE
00:39:30RAMIFICATIONS TO AMERICA'S GLOBAL STANDING? SEN. MARSHALL: MAYBE SOMEONE CAN
00:39:32GIVE US A K STATE UPDATE IN A
00:39:36MINUTE. BUT LOOK.
00:39:39THESE TARIFFS WERE MEANT TO BRING MANUFACTURING JOBS HOME.
00:39:46AND IMPROVE EXPORTS. AND IT'S WORKING. LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.
00:39:51LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.
00:39:56RIGHT HERE IN RENO COUNTY, RENO
00:39:59COUNTY LOST 1700 MANUFACTURING
00:40:02JOBS OVER THE LAST TWO DECADES. 1700.
00:40:07I WAS TIRED OF SEEING MANUFACTURING JOBS LEAVE KANSAS.
00:40:11YOU GO TO SUPERIOR BOILER HERE
00:40:12IN HUTCHISON, AND THEY WILL ADD JOBS.
00:40:20EVERYWHERE WE SAW MANUFACTURING WAS GOING.
00:40:24EXPORTS, TARIFFS ARE A SMALL PORTION OF THE PICTURE.
00:40:30WHEN IT COMES TO AMERICA -- I
00:40:36DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE DON'T CARE ABOUT AMERICAN JOBS.
00:40:39YOU CAN'T KEEP DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AND EXPECT A DIFFERENT RESULT.
00:40:44WE ARE SEEING THAT, TALKING ABOUT THE TARIFFS, THEY ARE HELPING.
00:40:49DOES ANYBODY CARE THAT CORN EXPORTS ARE UP 50% OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS?
00:40:52CORN PRICES ARE FIVE DOLLARS PER BUSHEL.
00:40:57SOYBEANS $13. THE TARIFFS ARE WORKING.
00:41:01WE ARE EXPANDING THE EXPORT MARKETS BECAUSE OF THEM.
00:41:07>> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 90
00:41:12SECONDS TO RESPOND. REV. HAMILTON: THE TARIFFS ARE A DISASTER FOR EVERYONE ACROSS THE
00:41:16STATE OF KANSAS. 150 DOLLARS PER MONTH MORE FOR
00:41:19THE AVERAGE KANSAN, THE GOODS COST BECAUSE OF TARIFFS.
00:41:22THERE'S A PLACE FOR TARIFFS, THOUGHTFUL TARIFFS TO BE
00:41:26IMPOSED. WE HAD 55 TARIFF CHANGES IN THE
00:41:29LAST YEAR. WE HAVE INSULTED OUR ALLIES, WE
00:41:33HAVE HURT OUR TRADING PARTNERS, WE HAVE JOBS THAT WERE BROUGHT
00:41:36TO CENTRAL KANSAS, ONE OF THE GREAT MANUFACTURING PLANTS
00:41:40RECENTLY, I WENT THERE AND THE PEOPLE THAT OWNED THE PLANT WERE
00:41:45DESCRIBING IT AND SAID WE
00:41:49CREATED 2000 JOBS. THEY HAVE 2000 EMPLOYEES.
00:41:51BUT THE TARIFFS ARE KILLING US.
00:41:53ONE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, $1800
00:41:57WORTH OF TARIFFS ON THAT EQUIPMENT. THEY HAD TO LAY PEOPLE OFF.
00:42:001500 JOBS. THEY COULD LOSE THOSE DUE TO
00:42:05TARIFFS. FARMERS ARE TALKING ABOUT THE COSTS. THIS IS NOT OK.
00:42:09THIS IS HOW WASHINGTON IS HURTING US AND HE THINKS IT NO BIG DEAL.
00:42:12NOBODY THINKS THIS IS NO BIG DEAL.
00:42:16THIS IS PAINFUL, WASHINGTON IS DOING THIS. IT IS CHAOTIC LEADERSHIP IN
00:42:20WASHINGTON THAT ARE SENATOR SEEMS TO SUPPORT.
00:42:25-- OUR SENATOR SEEMS TO SUPPORT.
00:42:30>> SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU HAVE 45
00:42:35SECONDS FOR REBUTTAL. SEN. MARSHALL: CHINA LOVES THIS GUY.
00:42:39CHINA LOVES HIM.
00:42:41DO YOU WANT TO SEE MORE JOBS GO
00:42:43TO CHINA? YOU WANT MORE JOBS GOING TO CHINA?
00:42:47IF YOU NEED TO TRAVEL ACROSS THE
00:42:48STATE, GO TO FORT SCOTT TO PEERLESS WINDOWS.
00:42:53I KNOW YOU WERE RECENTLY IN SALINA.
00:42:55BECAUSE OF THE TARIFFS JAPAN IS MOVING JOBS TO KANSAS.
00:42:58THIS IS SIMPLE. THESE TARIFFS ARE WORKING.
00:43:02BY THE WAY, CHINA IS DUMPING ALUMINUM THROUGH CANADA.
00:43:07THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR AMERICA.
00:43:11I WILL ALWAYS BE IN AMERICA FOR SENATOR, AMERICA FIRST.
00:43:14I WANT TO STAND UP FOR JOBS.
00:43:20LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN WICHITA. BOEING IS BACK AFTER THE TARIFFS.
00:43:25THE TARIFFS ARE WORKING. THIS IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE --
00:43:28>> YOU ARE OUT OF TIME.
00:43:34SEN. MARSHALL:SEN. MARSHALL: IF YOU CARE ABOUT MANUFACTURING -- >> SENATOR, YOU ARE OUT OF TIME.
00:43:43THE NEXT QUESTION.
00:43:47WILL BE DIRECTED TO MR. HAMILTON.
00:43:52IT WILL COME FROM MICHAEL AT K W
00:43:55CH 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.
00:44:04WHAT IS ONE MAJOR ISSUE IF ELECTED, THAT YOU WOULD BE
00:44:07WILLING TO PUT THE INTEREST OF KANSAS AHEAD OF THE RARITIES OF
00:44:09THE PRESIDENT WARRIOR NATIONAL PARTY LEADERSHIP?
00:44:15-- WARRIOR NATIONAL PARTY LEADERSHIP? REV. HAMILTON: EVERY ISSUE THAT
00:44:19IS BETTER FOR KANSAS, I WILL
00:44:24STAND UP TO THE PRESIDENT AND SAY THIS IS NOT OK. THE FIRST THINGS WE HAVE TO DEAL
00:44:28WITH OUR TARIFFS, THE WAR IN IRAN AND HEALTH CARE.
00:44:33WITH THE DANGER OF 28 HOSPITALS CLOSING UNDER SENATOR MARSHALL'S
00:44:37WATCH, THIS IS HURTING PEOPLE. SO MANY THINGS, THE WORKFORCE IS A HUGE ISSUE.
00:44:41THE PRESIDENT'S POLICIES, WHICH
00:44:48THE SENATOR SUPPORTED, THERE IS NO DAYLIGHT BETWEEN THEM. THEY ARE VERY CLOSE. IN THIS CASE, HE IS HURTING PEOPLE ACROSS KANSAS.
00:44:53FARMERS ARE WORRIED ABOUT LOSING TRADE AGREEMENTS. IT HAPPENED THE FIRST
00:44:57ADMINISTRATION AND IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. PEOPLE CAN STAND WHAT IS
00:45:00HAPPENING ACROSS THE STATE. IF YOU BELIEVE THE TARIFFS ARE
00:45:03GOOD FOR YOU, YOU ARE NOT IN A BUSINESS WHERE YOU ARE PAYING THE PRICE LIKE MOST KANSAS
00:45:07BUSINESSES ARE.
00:45:13>> SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU HAVE 90
00:45:17SECONDS. SEN. MARSHALL: IT IS ABOUT
00:45:19PRIORITIES FOR THE MOST PART.
00:45:24CAN WE TALK ABOUT HEALTH CARE FOR A SECOND? WHO DO YOU WANT FIXING HEALTH CARE? THE DOCTOR THAT LIVED IT FOR 25 YEARS?
00:45:28OR SOMEBODY ELSE?
00:45:30I'M SO PROUD, I'M SO PROUD OF
00:45:33THE WORK WE HAVE GOTTEN DONE IN HEALTH CARE.
00:45:36WE JUST GOT 1.3 BILLION DOLLARS FOR KANSAS HOSPITALS.
00:45:41140 MILLION DOLLARS OF THAT WILL GO TO RURAL HOSPITALS.
00:45:45WE JUST GOT $220 MILLION FOR RURAL HOSPITALS AS WELL TO
00:45:49IMPROVE HEALTH CARE IN RURAL
00:45:57AMERICA. WE WORK HARD ON PRESCRIPTION DRUGS. THANKS TO LEGISLATION I WROTE YOU CAN GET HUNDREDS OF GENERICS FOR LESS THAN $11.
00:46:05IF YOU ARE USING INSULIN, YOU
00:46:09CAN GET IT FOR LESS THAN $30. REALLY.
00:46:12SO I THINK WE GO BACK TO TAX POLICY.
00:46:17WHAT THE REPUBLICANS WILL DO IS LOWER YOUR TAXES. WE GIVE YOU NO TAX ON TIPS.
00:46:22NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY. NO TAX ON OVERTIME.
00:46:25YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE EVER
00:46:30VISITED THESE MANUFACTURING PLANTS YOU WILL HAVE GUYS COME
00:46:32UP AND HUG ME AND SAY THANK YOU FOR THE OVERTIME DEDUCTION.
00:46:37THE MANUFACTURING IS GROWING SO MUCH. OF THESE PEOPLE ARE WORKING OVERTIME RIGHT NOW.
00:46:41I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD YOU.
00:46:44YOUR FIRST VOTE IN THE SENATE IS GOING TO BE FOR CHUCK SCHUMER TO
00:46:47BE CHAIRMAN.
00:46:52IS THAT GOING TO BE YOUR VOTE? WILL YOU TAKE HIS $30 MILLION AND NEVER PUSH BACK AGAINST
00:46:55CHUCK SCHUMER AND HIS RAISING TAXES --
00:46:58>> YOU ARE OUT OF TIME.
00:47:09OK. MR. HAMILTON.
00:47:14YOU HAVE 45 SECONDS OF REBUTTAL.
00:47:16REV. HAMILTON: SO YOU BROUGHT US
00:47:19ONE POINT $3 BILLION BACK TO
00:47:20KANSAS AND TOOK $4 BILLION AWAY.
00:47:23ANYBODY CAN DO THAT MATH. THANK YOU FOR GIVING US $1.3 BILLION.
00:47:30WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT IS
00:47:33HAPPENING WITH HEALTH CARE, I WANT TO KNOW, HOW IS IT THAT YOU
00:47:36CAN RUN A PRACTICE AS A MEDICAL
00:47:40DOCTOR, AND HAVE POOR PEOPLE
00:47:42STRUGGLING TO PAY THEIR BILLS, AND THEN GO TO WASHINGTON AND
00:47:47TAKE 51,000 PEOPLE OFF THE HEALTH INSURANCE ROLES AND MEDICAID AND REMOVING SUBSIDIES?
00:47:51I DON'T UNDERSTAND. THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE YOU ARE FIGHTING FOR POOR PEOPLE IN
00:47:55KANSAS. THERE ARE 2000S OF VERSES IN THE
00:47:58BIBLE THAT SPEAK TO CARING FOR
00:48:02THE POOR AND THAT IS NOT HAPPENING UNDER THIS MAN.
00:48:09>> IN NEXT QUESTION -- THE NEXT
00:48:16QUESTION 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.
00:48:25THE NEW YORK TIMES PUBLISHED A STORY THE DETAILED INCIDENCES IN WHICH DR. MARSHALL'S ATTORNEYS
00:48:28SAW PAYMENTS FROM KANSAS
00:48:32TRIGGERING THE ARREST OF PAYMENTS WHO OWED SMALL SUMS OF MONEY. I ASK YOU TO EXPLAIN.
00:48:40SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS MR. HAMILTON ABOUT REPORTING THAT YOU STRUGGLED WITH ALARMING
00:48:44PERSONNEL ISSUES AT THE KANSAS CHURCH YOU FOUNDED.
00:48:46>> SENATOR MARSHALL YOU HAVE 90 SECONDS.
00:48:53SEN. MARSHALL: MY DAD THE CHIEF OF POLICE HAD SEVERAL SAYINGS
00:48:54BUT ONE OF THEM IS ONLY BELIEVE HALF OF WHAT YOU SEE AND NONE OF WHAT YOU HEAR.
00:48:58I WOULD ADD, NONE OF WHAT YOU READ IN THE NEW YORK TIMES. LOOK.
00:49:05ONE OUT OF FIVE PATIENTS WE SAW AT OUR HOSPITAL GOT FREE CARE. ONE OUT OF FIVE.
00:49:09EVERY YEAR WE GAVE ARRAY
00:49:133-4,000,000 DOLLARS OF CHARITY. WE ALSO HAD A BUSINESS.
00:49:17WE HAVE 300 EMPLOYEES. WE HAD A MORTGAGE PAYMENT AND ELECTRICITY.
00:49:21JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER BUSINESS, WE HAD TO COME OF THE COMMON
00:49:25BUSINESS PRACTICE AT THE END OF
00:49:25THE DAY SENDS PEOPLE TO
00:49:30COLLECTIONS. THAT WOULD BE TRUE FOR EVERY HOSPITAL AND EVERY DOCTOR.
00:49:34EMPHASIS ON ONE OUT OF FIVE
00:49:36PEOPLE WE GAVE FREE CARE TO WAS WELL. THOSE ARE COMMON BUSINESS PRACTICES.
00:49:40WE WOULD GO A YEAR BEFORE WE WOULD SEND SOMEBODY OVER.
00:49:47>> [CROWD CHANTING] SHAME ON
00:49:52YOU! >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
00:49:55SEN. MARSHALL: I GET TO FINISH MY ANSWER.
00:50:00WHY DOES THE NEW YORK TIMES NEVER PUBLISH THE FACT THAT I
00:50:03TOOK EVERYBODY THAT WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR, EVERY PATIENT,
00:50:07EVERY MEDICAID PATIENT THAT OTHER HOSPITALS WERE SENDING ME
00:50:12THEIR PATIENTS? WE WOULD TAKE CARE OF THEM.
00:50:16WHY DID THEY NEVER REPORT ALL OF THE GREAT THINGS THAT WE ARE DOING?
00:50:20WE RAN A DIALYSIS CLINIC, AND ONCOLOGY CLINIC, A RADIATION
00:50:24THERAPY CLINIC AS WELL.
00:50:26WE GAVE COMPASSIONATE CARE TO SO MANY PATIENTS.
00:50:30THIS IS A TOTAL HIT JOB PAID FOR BY CHUCK SCHUMER.
00:50:39>> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 90
00:50:43SECONDS TO RESPOND. REV. HAMILTON: SHOW OF HANDS REAL QUICK.
00:50:47HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN LATE MAKING YOUR PAYMENTS ON MEDICAL BILLS?
00:50:50HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN
00:50:53ARRESTED OR SUED FOR BEING LATE ON YOUR MEDICAL PAYMENTS?
00:50:57MAYBE A HANDFUL? MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT ARRESTED FOR
00:51:00NOT GETTING THE PAYMENTS MADE. THERE IS AN EMPLOYMENT PLAN THAT IS WORKED OUT.
00:51:04THAT IS HIS ISSUE TO DEAL WITH.
00:51:08WHEN IT COMES TO THE CHURCH OF THE RESURRECTION WE HAVE 450 EMPLOYEES.
00:51:11CHECK THE MOTIVATION AND HOW PEOPLE ARE FEELING AROUND THE CONGREGATION.
00:51:15MOST OF THE PEOPLE THERE LOVE WORKING THERE. THEY HAVE BEEN THERE FOR A LONG TIME.
00:51:20THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY.
00:51:27>> SENATOR MARSHALL YOU HAVE 45
00:51:30SECONDS FOR REBUTTAL. SEN. MARSHALL: I WANT TO BRAG ON
00:51:34THE GREAT NURSES AND DOCTORS WE HAD. THEY TOOK GREAT CARE OF PATIENTS.
00:51:38ONE OUT OF FIVE PATIENTS, WE GAVE FREE CARE TO.
00:51:43ONCE THE COLLECTION PROCESS STARTED I WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO
00:51:45DO WITH IT.
00:51:50THESE ARE THE COMMON POLICIES THAT EVERY HOSPITAL, EVERY DOCTOR WOULD DO. THESE ARE STANDARD BUSINESS PRACTICES.
00:51:53BUT REALLY, THIS IS JUST NOISE.
00:51:57WHAT MATTERS ARE SECURE BORDERS,
00:52:00A STRONG MILITARY, LOWER TAXES, VOTER ID.
00:52:04THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT MATTER. WHY WON'T THE NEW YORK TIMES
00:52:07TALK ABOUT THOSE?
00:52:13>> ALL RIGHT.
00:52:17NEXT QUESTION IS FOR MR. HAMILTON.
00:52:19DIRECTED TO MR. HAMILTON, BY
00:52:22DAVID OF THE HIGH POINT CIRCLE. >> OK.
00:52:27IMMIGRATION IS A QUAGMIRE OF REGULATIONS THAT MAKE IT HARD FOR FARMERS AND RANCHERS AND
00:52:31MANY IN AGRICULTURE.
00:52:33IN KANSAS, NEARLY 25% OF THE
00:52:38NATION'S BEEF SUPPLY GOES THROUGH PACKING PLANTS.
00:52:40WHAT DO YOU THINK WE CAN DO,
00:52:43PARDON ME, TO ENSURE OUR NATION
00:52:45SECURITY BUT ALSO HELP HAVE
00:52:49REGULATIONS THAT MEET THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE WHO NEED, WHO ARE
00:52:53DEPENDENT ON IT? >> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 90 SECONDS.
00:52:57REV. HAMILTON: I WANT TO BE CRYSTAL CLEAR FIRST OF ALL. IMMIGRATION HUNTER BIDEN WAS A
00:53:01DISASTER. THAT IS HOW WE ENDED UP WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
00:53:07SECOND, WHAT WE DID IN RESPONSE
00:53:12HAS BEEN A DISASTER FOR PEOPLE IN KANSAS.
00:53:14WE SET QUOTAS AND TERRIFY PEOPLE
00:53:18IN TOWNS ACROSS THE STATE,
00:53:26PEOPLE 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
00:53:30TERRIFYING PEOPLE.
00:53:31I WAS IN A TOWN AND A WOMAN SAID
00:53:35HER GRANDDAUGHTERS PRESCHOOL TEACHER WAS ARRESTED IN FRONT OF HER, IN FRONT OF THE KIDS. THIS IS NOT OK.
00:53:42YES STRONG BORDERS, YES CLEAR
00:53:45POLICIES RELATED TO IMMIGRATION, IMMIGRATION REFORM, I'M NOT IN
00:53:49FAVOR OF OPEN BORDERS. I AM IN FAVOR OF COMMON DECENCY.
00:53:53WE NEED TO BE DECENT AS HUMAN BEINGS. WHAT IS HAPPENING IN WASHINGTON
00:53:57IS NOT DECENT, NOT COMPASSIONATE.
00:53:59IT IS NOT FAIR.
00:54:06FARMERS AND RESTAURANT OWNERS ARE PAYING THE PRICE ACROSS ALMOST EVERY INDUSTRY IN KANSAS. WE NEED IMMIGRATION AND WE NEED
00:54:10FAIR AND EQUITABLE IMMIGRATION POLICIES. THE JOB IS NOT GETTING DONE BY THIS MAN.
00:54:18>> SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU HAVE 90
00:54:23SECONDS TO RESPOND.
00:54:27SEN. MARSHALL: LIKE I SAID IN MY OPENING STATEMENTS HE DOESN'T STAND FOR ANYTHING. WHERE ARE YOU ON THIS ISSUE?
00:54:30YOU SAY YOU ARE FIRST SECURE BORDERS BUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:54:34WOULD YOU VOTE TO FUND ICE AND
00:54:38WOULD YOU VOTE TO FUND ICE AND SECURED THE BORDERS?
00:54:41WILL YOU PUSH AGAINST EVERY OTHER DEMOCRAT WHO WANTS TO DO
00:54:45THIS? SECURE BORDERS ARE PARAMOUNT TO THIS NATION.
00:54:48THINK ABOUT WHAT OPEN BORDERS GAVE US. THEY DIDN'T JUST GIVE US 20
00:54:52MILLION BOAT -- PEOPLE.
00:54:55THEY GAVE US FENTANYL POISONING, TOOK OUR JOBS AND HOUSING FROM US.
00:54:59ARE YOU COMMITTED, ARE YOU COMMITTED TO SECURE BORDERS?
00:55:03I THINK THAT IS THE QUESTION. ARE YOU COMMITTED TO SECURE BORDERS?
00:55:08CERTAINLY I UNDERSTAND THE
00:55:12CHALLENGES IN THE LABOR FORCE AND THAT IS WHY I WORK SO HARD
00:55:15TO IMPROVE LEGAL IMMIGRATION.
00:55:18WE NEED LEGAL IMMIGRATION ANOTHER BORDER IS SECURE, WE CAN
00:55:22WORK ON IT BUT IF YOU PUT THE DEMOCRATS BACK IN CONTROL AGAIN,
00:55:25THE BORDER WILL COME FLYING OPEN
00:55:27AND WE WILL -- THEY WILL TAKE
00:55:31YOUR JOB SEND YOUR HOMES AND EVERYTHING.
00:55:32THE DEMOCRATS, WHO DO YOU TRUST
00:55:35AT THE BORDER? DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS?
00:55:41>> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 45
00:55:47SECONDS FOR REBUTTAL. REV. HAMILTON: I DO BELIEVE IN
00:55:49FUNDING ICE FOR THE PURPOSE THEY WERE INTENDED.
00:55:52THEY WERE CREATED NINE -- AFTER
00:55:559/11 TO KEEP THE COUNTRY SAFE FROM TERRORISTS.
00:55:58WE RELABEL THE FOLKS ACROSS
00:56:01KANSAS, MAYBE THEY CAME 10 OR 15 YEARS AGO. WE ON PLUCKING FOR DANGEROUS
00:56:05PEOPLE, WE ARE LOOKING FOR ANYBODY AND THAT IS NOT OK.
00:56:09I BELIEVE IN FUNDING ICE.
00:56:12BUT WE ARE GIVING MORE MONEY TO
00:56:15ICE THAT ALL OF OUR OTHER
00:56:16SECURITY AGENCIES COMBINED.
00:56:20FEDERAL SECURITY AGENCIES COMBINED, 70 BILLION DOLLARS.
00:56:24MILITARIZED AND POLITICIZED THEM AND ARE USING THEM TO HARM PEOPLE.
00:56:27AMERICANS LIKE THE -- LIKE YOU ARE GETTING SHOT BECAUSE OF
00:56:31PROTESTS.
00:56:35I BELIEVE ICE NEEDS TO BE USED FOR WHAT THEY WERE INTENDED TO BE USED FOR.
00:56:43>> THE NEXT QUESTION GOES TO
00:56:47SENATOR MARSHALL. IT WILL COME FROM MICHAEL WITH K
00:56:52WC HDV. >>. >> I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOCIAL
00:56:54SECURITY AND MEDICARE, IN THE
00:56:57CASE OF THE LONG-TERM FINANCIAL ISSUES. WHAT CHANGES IF ANY ARE YOU
00:57:01WILLING TO SUPPORT TO KEEP THOSE PROGRAMS SOLVENT?
00:57:03SEN. MARSHALL: I WANT TO FINISH
00:57:07UP THE LAST QUESTION. IT IS INTERESTING THAT ADAM IS WILLING TO FUND ICE.
00:57:11SO YOU SAY --'>> LADIES AND
00:57:18GENTLEMEN.
00:57:19>> SO YOU SAY YOU ARE WILLING TO
00:57:23FUND ICE. WILL YOU STAND UP TO CHUCK SCHUMER THAT?
00:57:27THE FIRST VOTE YOU ARE GOING TO
00:57:28TAKE IS TO MAKE CHUCK SCHUMER
00:57:31THE HEAD OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY. BUT HE IS DOING A FUNDRAISER FOR YOU NEXT WEEK.
00:57:36HE WILL FUND YOUR ELECTION $30 MILLION JUST LIKE HE FUNDED OURS.
00:57:41-- JUST LIKE HE FUNDED BARBARA'S.
00:57:45LET'S TALK ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE. I WANT TO REMIND FOLKS WHICH
00:57:50PARTY GAVE YOU NO TAXES ON SOCIAL SECURITY. OK?
00:57:56THE FIRST THING I WILL DO IS MAKE A PLEDGE. I WILL NOT TOUCH ANYONE'S
00:58:00MEDICARE OR SOCIAL SECURITY. WHO IS ON IT NOW, OR SOON WILL BE.
00:58:06THE SECOND POINT I WOULD MAKE IS
00:58:09A RISING TIDE FLOATS ALL BOATS.
00:58:10THAT IS THE FIRST WAY YOU FUND
00:58:13MEDICARE AND SOCIAL SECURITY IS GETTING PEOPLE BACK TO WORK.
00:58:17IF YOU ARE ILLEGAL IN THIS COUNTRY WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT,
00:58:20YOU NEED TO GO THROUGH THE RIGHT PROCESS SO YOU CAN PAY BACK IN.
00:58:24BUT THE DEMOCRATS ARE A ONE HORSE PONY. ALL THEY KNOW HOW TO DO IS RAISE TAXES.
00:58:30HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY SOLUTION.
00:58:33HE WILL TALK ABOUT PLATITUDES.
00:58:35WE WILL SEE IF HE HAS ANY SOLUTION EXCEPT RAISE YOUR TAXES.
00:58:41>> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 90
00:58:45SECONDS TO RESPOND. REV. HAMILTON: I WANT TO SAY
00:58:47TARIFFS ARE ATTACKS AND WE ARE PAYING THOSE TAXES AND YOU
00:58:51RAISED THOSE TAXES.
00:58:55THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE. YOU SAID IN THE PAST ANYBODY WHO
00:58:58IS 57 AND YOUNGER NEEDS TO PREPARE FOR LOWERING THEIR
00:59:12BENEFITS. 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
00:59:16DO 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
00:59:19PROBLEMS BUT WE HAVE TO SOLVE THEM WITH REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS WORKING TOGETHER, NOT
00:59:24REPUBLICANS BLAMING DEMOCRATS OR DEMOCRATS BLAMING REPUBLICANS.
00:59:28WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND COME UP WITH SOLUTIONS. THIS WILL BE PIVOTAL.
00:59:32I WILL JUST SAY WHEN YOU HAVE A SENATOR THAT DOESN'T WORK WELL
00:59:36WITH DEMOCRATS, EVEN SOMETIMES
00:59:40WITH REPUBLICANS, WE WILL NOT GET THE JOB DONE SO WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.
00:59:43WE AREN'T GOING TO SOLVE IT BY BLAMING THE OTHER PARTY.
00:59:51>> SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU HAVE 45 SECONDS TO RESPOND.
00:59:55SEN. MARSHALL: LET'S TALK ABOUT SOLVING MEDICARE ISSUES.
00:59:59FIRST OF ALL WE NEED A MIRACLE DRUG FOR ALZHEIMER'S.
01:00:03WE SPENT THE VAST AMOUNT OF OUR MONEY TREATING ALZHEIMER'S.
01:00:07SECOND OF ALL, WE NEED AMERICA
01:00:13TO BE HEALTHIER. WE ARE A SICK NATION. 40% OF CHILDREN ARE ON PRESCRIPTION DRUGS.
01:00:1780% OF ADULTS HAVE A CHRONIC ILLNESS. THE REASON WE ARE SPENDING SO
01:00:20MUCH MONEY ON MEDICARE IS BECAUSE WE ARE SICK.
01:00:24I HAVE WORKED HAND-IN-HAND
01:00:32I WORKED HAND-IN-HAND AGAIN WITH
01:00:37BOBBY KENNEDY TO BRING THESE MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN TOPICS BACK. >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
01:00:45SEN. MARSHALL: I THINK IT ALL
01:00:49STARTS WITH HEALTHY NUTRITION. THAT IS WHY WE BRING IN THE
01:00:53AGGIE PART OF THIS AS WELL.
01:00:56IF 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
01:01:23INDUSTRY, MOST OF THE SECTORS THAT ENJOYED A GOOD RUN OF
01:01:26PRICES, BUT NOW RANCHERS ARE DEALING WITH CONFLICTING
01:01:29MESSAGES FROM THE ADMINISTRATION REGARDING THE AMOUNT OF IMPORTED BEEF.
01:01:37ALSO, POSSIBLY LOOKING INTO THE MEATPACKING INDUSTRY.
01:01:40WHAT IS YOUR VIEW ON WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION'S ACTIONS ARE,
01:01:44AND WHAT MESSAGE WOULD YOU TAKE TO FARMERS AND RANCHERS?
01:01:47>> COULD YOU PLEASE REPEAT IT?
01:01:50I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THE FIRST PART OF THE QUESTION.
01:01:54>> UNTIL RECENTLY, THE CATTLE INDUSTRY HAD ENJOYED A GOOD RUN
01:01:56OF PRICES, BUT NOW RANCHERS ARE
01:01:58DEALING WITH CONFLICTING MESSAGES FROM THE ADMINISTRATION
01:02:01OVER UPPING THE AMOUNT OF IMPORTED BEEF AND INVESTIGATING
01:02:04THE BEEF PACKING INDUSTRY. WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THE
01:02:09ADMINISTRATION'S ACTION, AND WHAT DO YOU THINK NEEDS TO BE
01:02:12DONE? >> IMPORTING 300,000 TONS OF
01:02:15LEAN TRIM BEEF INTO THE UNITED STATES WAS A SLAP IN THE FACE.
01:02:20IT CAME AT EXACTLY THE WRONG TIME. IT HURT THEIR PRICES.
01:02:24IT WAS DEVASTATING FOR THEM.
01:02:27THEY WERE ANGRY AND UPSET WITH THE PRESIDENT MANY OF THEM VOTED FOR.
01:02:31OUR SITTING SENATOR TEPIDLY RESPONDED TO THAT.
01:02:34YOU NEED SOMEBODY HE WAS GOING TO STAND UP AND SHOUT AND SAY
01:02:38THIS IS NOT OK FOR THE PEOPLE IN MY STATE.
01:02:41YOU ARE VOTED TO BE A CHAMPION FOR THE PEOPLE IN YOUR STATE,
01:02:46NOT A SPOKESPERSON FROM THE WHITE HOUSE. THIS IS THE KIND OF CHAOTIC
01:02:49DECISION THAT IS MADE WITHOUT CAREFULLY CONSULTING WITH THE
01:02:53PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE AFFECTED BY THIS. THAT HAS TO STOP.
01:02:57THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR IN THE
01:02:59WHITE HOUSE IS HURTING PEOPLE IN KANSAS.
01:03:03OUR 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.
01:03:18SEN. 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.
01:03:38LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! IF YOU COULD PLEASE CALM DOWN
01:03:42AND LET THE CANDIDATE ANSWER.
01:03:45SEN. MARSHALL: DO YOU WANT THE KID WHO HAS HAVING HIS FIRST JOB
01:03:49OFF THE FARM, OR DO YOU WANT THE
01:03:51CEO OF A MEGA-CHURCH TRYING TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?
01:04:04LISTEN TO THE REAL ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS THE SIZE OF THE
01:04:08HERD, THE SMALLEST HEARD IN MY LIFE.
01:04:10WHY IS THE HERD SO SMALL? NUMBER ONE IS THE ROUTE TO
01:04:15NUMBER TWO IS THE REGULATIONS. THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HAS STRANGLED
01:04:19THE AGRICULTURE AND CATTLE INDUSTRY DURING THE ENDANGERED
01:04:23SPECIES ACT, WATERS OF THE U.S. HE WANTS TO MEASURE THE METHANE
01:04:26FROM A COW BACK HERE, HOW DO YOU THINK HE IS GOING TO ATTACK ALL
01:04:31THE BEEF CATTLE AS WELL?
01:04:34WHO WOULD DO A BETTER JOB TAKING
01:04:36CARE OF THAT GOING FORWARD? THE REAL ISSUE IS THE SIZE OF
01:04:39THE HERD, AND THE LAST THING WE WANT IS AN ENVIRONMENTALIST.
01:04:44YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND HE HAS
01:04:44ATTACKED ME BECAUSE HE IS A
01:04:49CLIMATE CHANGE THEORIST. THAT IS WHAT THIS IS REALLY ABOUT.
01:04:54WOULD YOU EVER STAND UP TO YOUR PARTY BECAUSE THEY ATTACKED THE
01:04:57AMERICAN FARMER RANCHER AND OIL
01:05:01AND GAS INDUSTRY WHEN IT COMES TO ENVIRONMENTAL MEASURES?
01:05:10>> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 45
01:05:13SECONDS FOR A REBUTTAL. MR. HAMILTON: I THINK THE SENATOR NEEDS TO REPENT FOR NOT
01:05:17STEPPING UP TO THE BEEF INDUSTRY
01:05:22.
01:05:22DIESEL IS SIX DOLLARS A GALLON.
01:05:26THE DIMINISHMENT OF THE WORKFORCE IS MAKING IT HARDER
01:05:28FOR PEOPLE TO WORK IN THE LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY.
01:05:31TRADE WARS COST BEEF RANCHERS IN
01:05:36KANSAS $1 BILLION IN TRADE. IT WENT TO BRAZIL AND ARGENTINA.
01:05:40THIS IS NOT OK. YOU'VE GOT TO SPEAK UP FOR THE PEOPLE.
01:05:44300 THOUSAND METRIC TONS OF BEEF BROUGHT IN HERE, YOUR JOB IS TO
01:05:46STEP UP FOR THE PEOPLE IN KANSAS, INCLUDING OUR LIVESTOCK
01:05:51INDUSTRY, WHO REFUSED TO ENDORSE YOU THIS TIME AROUND.
01:05:53SEN. MARSHALL: THE BEST CATTLE MARKETS OF MY LIFETIME.
01:06:01>> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LET'S MOVE ON. WE ARE WINDING DOWN THE TIME.
01:06:05THIS WILL BE DIRECTED TO SENATOR MARSHALL.
01:06:09>> THIS WEEK WE HEARD A PRETTY
01:06:13STARK WARNING FROM AI INSIDERS
01:06:14AND DEVELOPERS, SIGNING A MAJOR
01:06:19ALARM OVER AT SAFETY, BUT GOING AS FAR AS TO SAY IT THREATENS
01:06:23ALL OF HUMANITY BY THE DECADES IN. THE COMPANIES THEMSELVES HAVE
01:06:26BASICALLY AGREED. WHERE IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
01:06:30ON THIS, IT IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOING ENOUGH WHEN IT
01:06:33COMES TO LEADING THIS INDUSTRY?
01:06:35SEN. MARSHALL: THANK YOU, MICHAEL.
01:06:40THIS IS AN ISSUE OF OUR TIME. I LIKEN IT TO THINKING ABOUT
01:06:44WHAT TO DO WITH NUCLEAR ENERGY IN THE 1950'S AND 1960'S.
01:06:48IT COULD BE CATASTROPHIC.
01:06:49I AM THE DOCTOR, GETTING
01:06:54OPINIONS. I WAS LOOK AT EVERY MAJOR
01:06:56PROBLEM THROUGH THE LENS OF THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF YOUR
01:07:00FAMILY. THERE IS MORE QUESTIONS THAN
01:07:03ANSWERS OUT THERE. NUMBER ONE, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE
01:07:06WE ENGAGE WITH OUR MILITARY TO MAKE SURE WE STAY AHEAD OF
01:07:10CHINA. I THINK THAT IS ABSOLUTELY
01:07:12NECESSARY, BUT ON THE OTHER HAND WE HAVE TO ESTABLISH THE RIGHT
01:07:16GUARD RAILS AROUND THE PRIVATE
01:07:20WORLD THAT ARE DEVELOPING THIS AS WELL. THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES BEHIND IT
01:07:24WE NEED TO START ADDRESSING. THAT WOULD BE THE ENERGY ISSUE
01:07:27AND THE WATER ISSUE AND THE JOB REPLACEMENT ISSUE.
01:07:31THAT IS WHY I AM ALREADY WORKING WITH TECHNICAL COLLEGES ACROSS
01:07:35THE STATE TO HELP WITH A PLAN.
01:07:39WHEN IT COMES TO THE WATER
01:07:40PORTION OF THIS -- LET ME JUST BACK UP HERE.
01:07:43WHEN IT COMES TO DATA CENTERS, LET ME BE VERY CLEAR THAT I
01:07:46SUPPORT THE MORATORIUM THAT I
01:07:51SUPPORT LOCAL CONTROL AND JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT.
01:07:53I THINK IT IS A VERY COMPLICATED ISSUE AND WE ARE TRYING TO BRING
01:07:57ALL THE PIECES TOGETHER.
01:08:02>> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 90 SECONDS TO RESPOND.
01:08:05MR. HAMILTON: LAST YEAR WHEN YOU
01:08:07VOTED FOR THE ONE BIG, BEAUTIFUL
01:08:10BILL, YOU GAVE $30 BILLION IN TAX CUTS TO DATA CENTERS ACROSS
01:08:13THE COUNTRY. WHICH IS IT, A MORATORIUM OR TAX CUTS?
01:08:17WHEN IT COMES TO AI, WE'VE GOT TO TAKE SERIOUSLY THIS POTENTIAL THREAT.
01:08:23AI HAS WONDERFUL POTENTIAL BUT ALSO DEVASTATING POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES.
01:08:26YOU HAVE BEEN IN OFFICE FOR SIX YEARS, AND I WONDER WHY ARE WE FINALLY JUST GETTING AROUND TO
01:08:30TALKING ABOUT THIS?
01:08:32THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS
01:08:36ISSUE. WE HAVE TO CREATE THE APPROPRIATE GUARD RAILS, BUT WE
01:08:40CAN'T LEAVE THIS ALONE. RUSSIA AND CHINA IS GOING TO BE WORKING ON THIS.
01:08:44AMERICA HAS TO BE DOING THE SAME, AND AT THE SAME TIME WE
01:08:47HAVE 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.
01:08:56SEN. MARSHALL: THE FINAL POINT I
01:09:00WOULD 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.
01:09:11THAT WE AS REPUBLICANS BELIEVE
01:09:12IN GLOBAL CONTROL, THAT THOSE CLOSEST TO THE PROBLEM
01:09:16UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM THE VERY BEST. THE LAST THING WE WOULD WANT HIS
01:09:20BIG GOVERNMENT DEMOCRAT SOCIALISTS TRYING TO TELL THE
01:09:22REST OF THE COUNTRY -- IS BIG
01:09:27GOVERNMENT DEMOCRAT SOCIALISTS TRYING TO TELL THE REST OF THE COUNTRY WHAT TO DO WHEN IT COMES
01:09:30TO DATA CENTERS. THAT IS THEIR MODUS OPERANDI.
01:09:33BIG GOVERNMENT SOCIALISTS TRY TO TELL US HOW TO DO EVERYTHING,
01:09:36WHETHER IT IS OUR SCHOOLS, OUR
01:09:38ENVIRONMENT, THE CAP ALE -- THE
01:09:41CATTLE INDUSTRY, OR THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY.
01:09:44IT'S ALWAYS BIG GOVERNMENT SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS HANDED BY
01:09:46CHUCK SCHUMER -- HANDLED BY CHUCK SCHUMER.
01:09:52[HECKLING]
01:09:58>> OK.
01:10:02LET'S GO TO -- BECAUSE WE ARE RUNNING SHORT ON TIME -- LET'S
01:10:05GO TO THE NEXT QUESTION. THIS WILL GO TO MR. HAMILTON,
01:10:08AND THAT WILL BE FROM TIM
01:10:12CARPENTER WITH KANSAS REFLECTOR. >> THANK YOU.
01:10:15I WANT YOU BOTH TO ARTICULATE YOUR VIEWS ON THE SEPARATION OF
01:10:19CHURCH AND STATE IN THE UNITED STATES. WHERE DO YOU DRAW THE LINE IN
01:10:23ORDER TO KEEP GOVERNMENT
01:10:25INDEPENDENT OF RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS?
01:10:29>> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 90 SECONDS TO RESPOND.
01:10:30MR. HAMILTON: I BELIEVE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE
01:10:34IS A BIG PART OF WHERE WE ARE -- WHO WE ARE.
01:10:36PEOPLE CAME HERE FROM EUROPE TO
01:10:39FREE RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION. I BELIEVE IN THE FIRST
01:10:43AMENDMENT, WHICH PROTECTS AMERICANS' RIGHT TO PRACTICE
01:10:46RELIGION AS THEY WISH. I AM GOING TO WASHINGTON TO
01:10:49FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS, WHETHER
01:10:51YOU ARE ATHEIST, AGNOSTIC,
01:10:53HINDU, BUDDHIST, JEW, MUSLIM, OR
01:10:57CHRISTIAN. THE CONSTITUTION IS UNDER THREAT RIGHT NOW BY THE ADMINISTRATION
01:11:01AND PEOPLE LIKE ROGER MARSHALL. WE ARE USING GOVERNMENT RESOURCES TO STRENGTHEN AND
01:11:05ENCOURAGE CERTAIN STRANDS OF CHRISTIANITY.
01:11:08IF YOU START USING GOVERNMENT RESOURCES FOR CERTAIN PARTS OF A
01:11:11RELIGION, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT RELIGION YOU ARE SUPPORTING,
01:11:15BECAUSE IT IS LIKELY NOT TO BE YOURS IN THE FUTURE.
01:11:20I AM RUNNING FOR THE RIGHT TO PROTECT OUR RIGHTS IN THE U.S. CONSTITUTION.
01:11:26IN WASHINGTON, D.C., I'M GOING TO BRING 38 YEARS OF PASTORAL
01:11:29MINISTRY CARING FOR PEOPLE, LISTENING TO THEM, HEARING THEM,
01:11:33AND THEN FIGHTING FOR THEM IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
01:11:39[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
01:11:43>> SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU HAVE 90
01:11:48SECONDS TO RESPOND.
01:11:51SEN. MARSHALL: I'M TRYING TO
01:11:56MIX UP IN MY HEAD. YOU SAY YOU SUPPORT SEPARATION
01:11:59OF CHURCH AND STATE, YET YOU SOLICITED MONEY FROM PEOPLE AT
01:12:02YOUR OWN CHURCH, AND ACTIVELY ON YOUR CHURCH WEBSITE AS WELL.
01:12:08LISTEN, THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED ON JUDEO-CHRISTIAN VALUES.
01:12:12AND I AM SO HONORED THAT WHEN WE
01:12:17SAY THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, WE SAY ONE NATION UNDER GOD, AND
01:12:21THAT THROUGHOUT THE HALLS OF CONGRESS WE HONOR GOD.
01:12:25JUST BECAUSE THERE IS SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE DOES NOT MEAN THE CHURCH SHOULDN'T BE A PART OF OUR EVERYDAY LIVING AS
01:12:29WELL. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
01:12:37LOOK, I'M NOT A CONSTITUTIONAL LAWYER. I AM NOT HERE TO LITIGATE THAT.
01:12:41I WANT TO TALK THINGS KANSANS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT.
01:12:44THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE COST OF HOUSING, THE COST OF
01:12:46HEALTH CARE, THE COST OF CHILDCARE.
01:12:49THIS GUY'S PARTY VOTED AGAINST EVERY TAX DEDUCTION WE GAY
01:12:53PEOPLE. WE HAD A HUGE TAX DEDUCTION FOR CHILD CARE AND HIS PARTY VOTED AGAINST THAT.
01:12:58I THINK WE ARE PROVING OVER AND
01:13:00OVER THAT HE IS TOO WEAK, TOO WOKE, DOES NOT STAND FOR
01:13:04ANYTHING. THAT HE'S TRYING TO BE ALL
01:13:08THINGS TO ALL PEOPLE, AND THAT'S
01:13:09NOT WHAT YOU WANT FROM A SENATOR
01:13:14IN KANSAS. WHAT YOU CAN COUNT ON IS I'M GOING TO STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR
01:13:17YOU, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR FREEDOMS.
01:13:20>> MR. HAMILTON, YOU HAVE 45
01:13:24SECONDS FOR A REBUTTAL. MR. HAMILTON: I WON'T NEED THAT LONG.
01:13:29I AM PRETTY SURE IF JESUS WERE HERE, YOU WOULD CALL HIM WOKE.
01:13:33[CHEERS]
01:13:52OK. --
01:13:56>> OK. IT IS THE MODERATOR'S DISCRETION HERE.
01:14:00WE ARE GOING TO CUT THE TIME AND
01:14:01GET ONE MORE QUESTION IN.
01:14:06INSTEAD OF TWO MINUTES, WE WILL GIVE YOU 90 SECONDS FOR THE
01:14:10ANSWER AND THE REPLY, AND WE
01:14:12WILL GIVE YOU 30 SECONDS FOR A REBUTTAL. I'M GOING TO DO THAT REALLY QUICK HERE.
01:14:21I WANTED TO COMMEND BOTH OF YOU GUYS FOR BEING HERE. THIS QUESTION IS SOMETHING YOU
01:14:25BOTH HAVE BEEN WILLING TO TALK ABOUT.
01:14:28I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU.
01:14:34MENTAL HEALTH STRESSORS ARE HIGH OCCUPATIONAL HAZARDS IN
01:14:37AGRICULTURE AND ARE CERTAINLY RELEVANT IN TODAY'S ENVIRONMENT.
01:14:40WHAT IS YOUR WORD TO THE FARM
01:14:43FAMILIES IN KANSAS WHO ARE FACING THESE CHALLENGES?
01:14:47SEN. MARSHALL: 988.
01:14:50IF YOU ARE A FARMER, IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING WITH MENTAL HEALTH,
01:14:53YOU CAN CALL 988, OK? [APPLAUSE]
01:14:57WE LOSE MORE FARMERS EVERY YEAR
01:15:00FROM SUICIDE THAN WE DO FROM FARM ACCIDENTS, AND THAT IS WHY I HAVE BEEN OUT ACROSS THE STATE
01:15:04NOW FOR YEARS DOING ROUNDTABLES AND WORKING WITH LENDERS.
01:15:09THE LENDERS AND THE FOLKS THAT
01:15:11HAVE THE SAY ARE THE ONES THAT
01:15:15KNOW WHO ARE IN WITH STRESS.
01:15:19K STATE EXTENSION DOES A GREAT JOB WITH THIS. THE RESOURCES ARE OUT THERE.
01:15:24WE HAD 26 BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CENTERS FEDERALLY FUNDED ACROSS THE STATE AS WELL.
01:15:27THEY WILL COME TO YOUR HOUSE, COME TO YOUR FARM.
01:15:31I JUST ASK EVERYBODY, THOUGH, TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR.
01:15:33IF YOU SEE ONE OF YOUR FELLOW FARMERS STRUGGLING, REACH OUT AND HELP THEM.
01:15:38IF THEY ARE NOT GOING TO CHURCH, IF THEY ARE MISSING THE FRIDAY
01:15:41NIGHT BALL GAME, IF THEY ARE MISSING COFFEE, REACH OUT, TELL
01:15:44THEM WE KNOW WHERE TO GET HELP, AND IF IT IS AN EMERGENCY, CALL 988.
01:15:49>> MR. HAMILTON, YOU ALSO HAVE
01:15:5460 SECONDS FOR A REPLY. MR. HAMILTON: I AM GLAD YOU MENTIONED 988.
01:15:58YOUR PARTY WAS TRYING TO DEFUND PARTS OF 988.
01:16:03AND I'M NOT GOING TO SAY YOUR PARTY, BECAUSE I LOVE
01:16:07REPUBLICANS, YOUR DECISIONS YOU ARE MAKING WITH HIGH TARIFFS,
01:16:10WITH THE COSTS OF WAR IN AMERICA FOR FARMERS, THAT IS ADDING TO
01:16:14THIS MENTAL HEALTH.
01:16:17I WAS TALKING TO YOUNG GUYS, THE
01:16:20CATALAN PROPS THEY HAD, STRUGGLING TALKING ABOUT HOW HARD IT IS RIGHT NOW.
01:16:23THEY VOTED FOR TRUMP THREE TIMES AND THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW
01:16:26HARD THIS IS RIGHT NOW FOR THEM.
01:16:29THESE ARE PEOPLE IN MENTAL HEALTH DISTRESS AND YOU ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH ABOUT IT.
01:16:32YOU ARE NOT FIGHTING FOR THEM BY ENDING THE WAR, ENDING THE
01:16:36TARIFFS, BY BRINGING INTEREST RATES DOWN. YOU HAVE FAILED THEM.
01:16:40THAT LEADS PEOPLE -- 700 FARM
01:16:44BANKRUPTCIES THIS YEAR, GOING UP
01:16:48AGAIN 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.
01:16:58SEN. MARSHALL: BANKRUPTCIES ARE DOWN RIGHT NOW.
01:17:01THERE ARE MANY BRIGHT THINGS
01:17:02HAPPENING IN THE WARMING ECONOMY.
01:17:06THE REAL ISSUE WHICH WE HAVE NOT TALKED ABOUT IS THE INPUT PRICES.
01:17:10I AM CONTINUING TO DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO BRING DOWN FERTILIZER
01:17:16PRICES. JUST LAST WEEK, THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE STARTED ANOTHER
01:17:20FERTILIZER PLANT IN LOUISIANA AS
01:17:24WELL. WE GOT THE PRESIDENT TO STOP THE COUNTERVAILING DELAYS ON PHOSPHATE.
01:17:28THOSE ARE REAL SOLUTIONS.
01:17:31AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU HAVE
01:17:33NOT ANSWERED THIS QUESTION, WILL YOU VOTE FOR THE FARM BILL?
01:17:36WOULD YOU BE THE ONLY DEMOCRAT THAT WOULD VOTE FOR THE FARM BILL?
01:17:39>> ALL RIGHT, LADIES AND
01:17:44GENTLEMEN, IF YOU ARE NOT
01:17:48STAYING, WE ASK THAT YOU LEAVE
01:17:51EXPEDITIOUSLY AFTER WE END THE DEBATE.
01:17:55BUT WE HAVE REACHED THE FINAL CLOSING STATEMENTS FOR BOTH.
01:17:59DETERMINED BY THE COIN TOSS BEFOREHAND, MR. HAMILTON, YOU
01:18:02WILL START WITH YOUR FIRST TWO MINUTE CLOSING STATEMENT.
01:18:04MR. HAMILTON: I LOVE TRAVELING ACROSS KANSAS.
01:18:08IT'S BEEN AWESOME. I WAS IN A LIBERAL, KANSAS, AND
01:18:11WHILE I WAS THERE, I MET WITH A GREAT GROUP OF PEOPLE.
01:18:14I SAID, BUT SHOULD I SEE IN LIBERAL?
01:18:17THEY SAID GO TO THE WIZARD OF OZ MUSEUM.
01:18:20I WATCHED IT EVERY YEAR WHEN I WAS GROWING UP.
01:18:23WHEN I AM THERE, I GET TO WATCH A CLIP OF THE WIZARD OF OZ.
01:18:26YOU'VE GOT DOROTHY ON THE
01:18:30YELLOW BRICK ROAD, THEY ARE GOING TO SEE THE WIZARD WITH HER
01:18:33THREE TRUSTY SIDEKICKS, THOSE 10 MEN, THE SCARECROW, AND THE
01:18:37COWARDLY LION. I SAID, OK, BUT TO THE SCARECROW NEED?
01:18:41HE NEEDED A BRAIN.
01:18:44WHAT DID THE 10 MAN NEED?
01:18:48HE NEEDED A HEART.
01:18:49WHAT DID THE COWARDLY LION NEED? COURAGE.
01:18:53THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH WASHINGTON RIGHT NOW.
01:18:56PEOPLE IF THERE ARE NO LONGER USING CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS.
01:19:01THEY ARE DOING WHATEVER THEIR PRESIDENT OR PARTY TELLS THEM TO DO.
01:19:05THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR KANSAS.
01:19:07WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR HEARTS IN WASHINGTON, D.C.
01:19:13THAT'S EASY TO HAPPEN.
01:19:16YOU GO BACK AND ALL YOUR STOPS ARE PHOTO OPS IN FRONT OF
01:19:20CABELA'S OR SOMEWHERE ELSE. YOU HAVE A LISTENING SESSION AT
01:19:24OAKLEY AND YOU GET UPSET AND WALKED OUT INSTEAD OF LISTENING TO PEOPLE.
01:19:28THEN YOU SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, WE
01:19:31DON'T DO LISTENING SESSIONS BECAUSE THOSE PEOPLE ARE TOO
01:19:35DANGEROUS IN KANSAS. I'M LOOKING AT YOU, THE MARSHALL
01:19:38FANS, YOU DON'T LOOK DANGEROUS TO ME.
01:19:41WHEN YOU LISTEN TO PEOPLE, YOU HEAR THEIR PAIN.
01:19:44YOU SAY ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT, AND I CAN'T VOTE FOR
01:19:47THINGS THAT TAKE AWAY 51,000 PEOPLE'S HEALTH INSURANCE,
01:19:5118,000 KIDS WHO DON'T GET SNAP BENEFITS ANYMORE.
01:19:55FINALLY, YOU HAVE TO HAVE COURAGE. COURAGE IS WHEN YOU STAND UP TO
01:19:58YOUR PRESIDENT AND PARTY AND SAY
01:19:59THIS IS HURTING BACK HOME, AND
01:20:03YOU DO IT EVEN IF YOUR PRESIDENT IS GOING TO BULLY YOU, PICK ON
01:20:07YOU, 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
01:20:26COULD PLEASE TAKE YOUR SEATS. WE HAVE ONE FINAL CLOSING
01:20:30STATEMENT. SENATOR MARSHALL, YOU HAVE THE FINAL TWO MINUTE CLOSING STATEMENT.
01:20:34SEN. MARSHALL: THANKS, GREG.
01:20:37TO ALL MY K STATE BUDDIES WHO
01:20:39CHOSE THE GAME, YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY.
01:20:4434-SEVEN VICTORY. WE ARE THE WILDCATS.
01:20:47ALRIGHT, LISTEN, THERE IS SO MUCH NOISE.
01:20:50WE WENT DOWN QUITE A FEW RABBIT HOLES. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, BUT I
01:20:53WANT TO DO IS GIVE FARMERS AND RANCHERS PREDICT ABILITY AND
01:20:57CERTAINTY. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE STRONG BORDERS, THAT WE HAVE A
01:21:00STRONG MILITARY, THAT WE LOWER TAXES.
01:21:06I THREW OUT THEORY AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS THAT MY
01:21:09OPPONENT TODAY IS TOO WOKE, TOO
01:21:11WEAK, AND DOES NOT STAND FOR ANYTHING.
01:21:14BUT REALLY, WHAT DOES HE STAND
01:21:19FOR? DOES HE -- IS HE GOING TO VOTE
01:21:22FOR CHUCK SCHUMER OR NOT? WOULD HE VOTE FOR A FARM BILL?
01:21:26WOULD HE VOTE FOR VOTER ID?
01:21:28WOULD HE VOTE TO FUND THE MILITARY?
01:21:31DID YOU HEAR ANY OF THOSE OUT OF HIM TODAY?
01:21:35NO. HE TRIES TO BE ALL THINGS TO ALL PEOPLE.
01:21:38AND WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO GET FROM ME, YOU MAY NOT AGREE WITH
01:21:41ME ON EVERYTHING, BUT YOU ARE GOING TO KNOW EXACTLY WHERE I
01:21:45STAND, AND I'M GOING TO FIGHT TO PROTECT YOU, YOUR FAMILY, AND
01:21:48THESE TRADITIONAL KANSAS VALUES.
01:21:52THANK YOU SO MUCH.
