00:01:13OF ISSUES WANT TO GET TO AND WE

00:01:20SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT,
00:01:23THE SECOND DISTRICT ENCOMPASSES 22 COUNTIES IN EAST, CENTRAL AND
00:01:27NORTHEAST IOWA. >> REPUBLICAN ASHLEY HINSON CURRENTLY REPRESENTS THE

00:01:55JOE MITCHELL IS A REPUBLICAN FROM CLEAR LAKE. HE SERVED TWO TERMS IN THE IOWA
00:02:00HOUSE AS A HOUSING DEVELOPER CANDIDATE. >> THANKS FOR BEING HERE THIS EVENING.
00:02:04>> GOOD TO BE HERE. GLAD TO BE HERE JOINING THE
00:02:08CONVERSATION SKYLER, THE STATEHOUSE REPORTER FOR IOWA'S NEWS.
00:02:11>> NOW, THE SINCLAIR BROADCAST GROUP AND ERIN MURPHY, DES
00:02:15MOINES BUREAU CHIEF OF THE GAZETTE IN RAPIDS.
00:02:17>> CANDIDATES, THIS WEEK, THE
00:02:19IOWA LEGISLATURE PASSED A $1.4
00:02:22BILLION STATE INCENTIVE PACKAGE
00:02:24FOR A PROPOSED STEEL PLANT IN IOWA.
00:02:26LINDSEY JAMES, TO GET INTO THIS A LITTLE BIT, BUT FIRST, YOU FOR
00:02:30THAT. TELL US WHY. YES SO, ERIN, I'M HEARING ACROSS
00:02:34THE DISTRICT THAT FOLKS ARE IMPOSSIBLE CHOICES BECAUSE OF
00:02:37THE COST LIVING CRISIS THAT WE ARE FACING RIGHT NOW.
00:02:41>> THIS CRISIS IS BECAUSE
00:02:43POLICIES DIRECTLY RELATED WHAT'S
00:02:45COMING FROM WASHINGTON NOW, THE ONE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL WHICH
00:02:49WOULD ARGUE IS ONLY BEAUTIFUL FOR BILLIONAIRES.
00:02:52THE WAR IN IRAN AND, TARIFFS TO NAME A FEW.
00:02:56THESE DRIVING UP COSTS AND FOLKS REALLY, REALLY STRUGGLING.
00:02:59SO WHEN IT COMES TO THINKING ABOUT THIS DISTRICT IN
00:03:02PARTICULAR AND THIS STATE.
00:03:04I'M ALL ABOUT LOWERING COSTS FOR
00:03:07HARDWORKING FAMILIES HERE IN THE
00:03:09STATE BUT ALSO MAKING THAT THEY
00:03:11HAVE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES IS ONE OF THOSE ECONOMIC
00:03:14OPPORTUNITIES FOR GOOD PAYING JOBS.
00:03:18IOWA IS 50TH IN THE ECONOMY.
00:03:19RIGHT NOW WE ARE 48TH IN THE
00:03:23COUNTRY IN TERMS OF PERSONAL
00:03:25GROWTH ARE WAGES ARE STAGNANT. SO HAVING GOOD PAYING JOBS
00:03:29AVAILABLE TO THE HARDWORKING IOWANS ARE MY NEIGHBORS IS
00:03:31SOMETHING THAT I'M EXCITED TO SUPPORT.
00:03:34>> AND REPUBLICANS HAVE SAID THIS STEEL PLANT DEAL POSSIBLE
00:03:38DUE TO SOME OF THOSE POLICIES FROM THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION,
00:03:41INCLUDING HIS TARIFF POLICIES. DO YOU AGREE THAT AND WHAT WOULD
00:03:44HAPPEN IF THOSE STEEL TARIFFS WERE TO CHANGE? >> I'M GOING TO ARGUE WITH YOU
00:03:48ON THAT, ERIN THE GUYS THAT WERE THE REPUBLICANS ARE POINTING
00:03:52THAT WE'RE SEEING THAT TARIFFS ARE DOING THE OPPOSITE. >> THEY'RE HITTING OUR
00:03:56MANUFACTURING COMMUNITIES AND DRIVING JOBS OVERSEAS.
00:03:58DEERE HAS SENT JOBS OVERSEAS TO MEXICO.
00:04:02WHIRLPOOL. I STOOD WITH THOSE WORKERS ON THE PICKET LINE AS THEY WATCHED
00:04:05THEIR JOBS DISAPPEAR TO MEXICO,
00:04:07ALL BECAUSE OF THESE IMPULSIVE
00:04:09AND CHAOTIC TARIFFS THAT ARE
00:04:12DRIVING UP COSTS AND FOLKS TO
00:04:13MAKE THESE IMPORTS CHOICES.
00:04:16I WOULD ARGUE THESE ARE THE VERY
00:04:18POLICIES THAT MY OPPONENT SUPPORTS, NOT ONLY JUST
00:04:22WHOLEHEARTEDLY HE HAS CHAMPIONED
00:04:25AND THESE POLICIES AND THESE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE DRIVING UP
00:04:27COSTS FOR HARDWORKING FAMILIES IN THIS DISTRICT. >> MITCHELL, YOU ARE A FORMER
00:04:32MEMBER. THE IOWA HOUSE, HAD YOU BEEN IN THE CHAMBER WHEN THAT BILL CAME
00:04:35ACROSS YOUR WOULD YOU HAVE VOTED FOR THAT? >> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.
00:04:39I THINK IT'S HYPOCRITICAL THAT MY OPPONENT LINDSEY HERE VOTED
00:04:42FOR THAT PACKAGE.
00:04:44SAYS SHE SUPPORTS THE PROJECT
00:04:46WHEN IN REALITY WE KNOW THAT THE PRESIDENT'S TRADE POLICIES
00:04:50DIRECTLY IMPACTED, BRINGING THAT PROJECT TO SPECIFICALLY THIS
00:04:54WILL THE LARGEST ECONOMIC
00:04:56DEVELOPMENT IN THE STATE'S HISTORY $15 BILLION INVESTED
00:04:59RIGHT INTO EASTERN IOWA.
00:05:01THOUSANDS OF CONSTRUCTION JOBS, THOUSANDS OF PERMANENT JOBS
00:05:04PAYING OVER HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, AND ALSO, DEERE RIGHT
00:05:08NOW IS ADDING JOBS BACK. OUR DISTRICT BECAUSE OF THE
00:05:12PRESIDENT FAIR TRADE POLICIES. AND SO THIS IS SOMETHING I DO
00:05:16CHAMPIONED BECAUSE WE WANT TO BRING AMERICAN JOBS BACK.
00:05:18AMERICANS, WE WANT TO REASSURE MANUFACTURING JOBS. WE WANT TO GROW DOMESTIC
00:05:23MANUFACTURING. AND YOU CAN SEE RIGHT HERE WITH THE GREAT EXAMPLE, THE PRESIDENT
00:05:26BRINGING THE STEEL MILL RIGHT TO IOWA. >> THE COMPANY PLANS TO BUILD
00:05:30THIS PLANT WENT THROUGH BANKRUPTCY IN THE PAST AND HAD SOME OTHER LEGAL ISSUES.
00:05:34YOU'RE RUNNING TO BE A MEMBER OF CONGRESS. SHOULD THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
00:05:38HAVE ROLE IN ENSURING THE STATE
00:05:40IS PROTECTED AND THAT FOREIGN ARE NOT INVOLVED IN THE
00:05:44FINANCING THIS PROJECT? IS THERE AN OVERSIGHT ROLE? >> MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE
00:05:48LEGISLATION WAS PASSED AND WHAT THE GOVERNOR SAID AND, WHAT DEBBIE DURHAM HAS SAID IS THERE
00:05:52IS CLAWBACK LANGUAGE IN THE LEGISLATION FOR THOSE INCENTIVES
00:05:55AND THAT THEY HAVE TO BUILD THE PLANT AND THEY HAD TO THOSE JOBS
00:05:58TO GET THOSE INCENTIVES. AND SO, AGAIN, OF COURSE, WE
00:06:02SUPPORT OVERSIGHT ON ANY PROJECT LIKE THAT, GETTING ANY HUGE KIND
00:06:05OF INCENTIVE PACKAGE LIKE WE'VE SEEN THIS LAST WEEK.
00:06:09YOU KNOW, ULTIMATELY WE WANT TO WELCOME BUSINESS. AND WHEN THE PRESIDENT TALKS
00:06:13ABOUT THE $20 TRILLION INVEST, AND THAT'S BEEN PROMISED COME
00:06:16HERE TO THE UNITED STATES, A LOT OF, THAT IS FOREIGN COMPANIES
00:06:19BUILDING HERE LIKE, TOYOTA. AND SO HE SAID, WE'RE GOING MAKE
00:06:22DEALS WITH COUNTRIES AND COMPANIES TO COME BACK HERE AND
00:06:27SUPPLY JOBS FOR AMERICANS. I THINK THAT'S A SMART MOVE.
00:06:30JUST LIKE THE STEEL PLANT AND A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT, REAGAN AND
00:06:34H.W. BUSH PASSED REPUBLICAN
00:06:36PRESIDENTS OVERSAW NEGOTIATIONS
00:06:38THAT LED TO THE NORTH FREE TRADE AGREEMENT.
00:06:41>> JOE, YOU HAVE SAID PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS THE TARIFF POLICIES.
00:06:45WHY HAS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
00:06:47SHIFTED ITS POSITION THIS. >> NAFTA WAS PASSED.
00:06:51BILL CLINTON, OF COURSE, AND
00:06:53KNOW YOU'VE SEEN DEMOCRATS A LONG TIME. THEY DID SUPPORT TARIFFS.
00:06:56YOU KNOW, SCHUMER MOST NOTABLY WAS A CHAMPION OF TARIFFS AND
00:07:00EVEN SAID WHEN TRUMP FIRST GOT ELECTED THAT HE STILL SUPPORTED
00:07:04TARIFFS. AND THAT'S BECAUSE MY GRANDPA AND SO ARE DEMOCRATS THEIR
00:07:07ENTIRE LIVES. THEY BELIEVED IN A WORKING.
00:07:10YOU KNOW, MY GRANDPA WORKED AT THE CASE PLANT IN BURLINGTON
00:07:14ONCE UPON A TIME, AND BELIEVED
00:07:16IN HAVING PROTECTIONISM THAT
00:07:18PROTECTED AMERICAN PROTECTED WORKERS HERE IN IOWA.
00:07:22AND KNOW TARIFFS AS PART OF THAT. AND KNOW WE HAD, I THINK, THE
00:07:27WRONG PHILOSOPHY FOR A LONG TIME IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ABOUT
00:07:30SOMETHING CALLED TRADE, WHERE IT ACTUALLY WASN'T FREE AND IT
00:07:33CERTAINLY WASN'T FAIR. AND THINK THE PRESIDENT HAS HAD
00:07:36A COMBINATION, UNIQUE IDEAS THAT HE'S BROUGHT TO THE PARTIES
00:07:40SAYING WE CAN HAVE TARIFFS TO BRING JOBS AND RESHORE
00:07:44MANUFACTURING, BUT AT THE SAME TIME HAVE A COMPETITIVE TAX ENVIRONMENT FOR BUSINESSES.
00:07:48DO YOU WANT TO COME BACK AND GROW THEIR BUSINESSES HERE,
00:07:50RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA? >> AND LINDSEY JAMES, YOU'VE
00:07:54WHIRLPOOL CUTTING JOBS IN THE SECOND DISTRICT AND SHIFTING
00:07:58JOBS OUT OF THE COUNTRY. WHAT ARE YOU PROPOSING CONGRESS DO TO PREVENT THESE KINDS OF
00:08:02MOVES HAPPENING IN THE FUTURE? YEAH, WE ABSOLUTELY TO ROLL BACK THE TARIFFS.
00:08:05>> THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW DEEPLY OUT OF TOUCH JOE MITCHELL IS.
00:08:09IT COMES TO THE REALITIES OF HARDWORKING FAMILIES. THIS STATE, THEIR COSTS ARE
00:08:12BEING DRIVEN FOR EVERY DAY
00:08:16FAMILIES AND THEY'RE MAKING IMPOSSIBLE CHOICES OF THESE COSTS.
00:08:18THE TARIFFS ARE PART OF THAT. TALK TO OUR FARMERS. THEY UNSTABLE MARKETS AS A
00:08:24RESULT OF THAT THEY BECAUSE OF
00:08:25THE WAR IN IRAN THEY
00:08:30AND DIESEL THEY'RE MAKING HARD
00:08:34CHOICES IN TERMS OF THEIR OWN FARMING OPERATIONS. I TALKED TO A FARMER RECENTLY
00:08:39WHO WITH ME THAT THEY COULDN'T MAKE THE MARGINS ANY LONGER
00:08:41BECAUSE OF THE SKYROCKETING COSTS OF HEALTH CARE.
00:08:45AND SO THEY MADE THE CHOICE TO
00:08:47SEND HIS WIFE INTO TOWN TO GET SECOND JOB JUST SO THAT THEY
00:08:50COULD AFFORD TO INSURANCE FOR THEIR KIDS.
00:08:53OUR FARMERS ARE OPERATING ON, YOU KNOW, VERY, VERY SMALL
00:08:57MARGINS. AND OUR MANUFACTURERS ARE
00:09:00SENDING JOBS AS A RESULT OF THESE TARIFFS TO OUT OF YOU
00:09:04KNOW, OUT OF THIS COUNTRY. AND IT'S BRUTAL TO STAND A
00:09:08PICKET LINE WITH WHIRLPOOL
00:09:10WORKERS AND HEAR ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO
00:09:13GIVE THEIR KID A NEW PAIR OF SHOES BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS.
00:09:17IT'S BRUTAL WHEN YOU'RE TALKING
00:09:19A DAD WHO'S MAKING A DO I PUT
00:09:21FOOD ON THE TABLE FOR MY KIDS OR
00:09:23DO I, YOU KNOW, PAY RENT, KEEP A
00:09:25SAFE PLACE OVER THEIR HOME? FOLKS ARE REALLY HURTING RIGHT
00:09:29NOW.
00:09:30AND IT'S JUST SO CLEAR THAT KNOW
00:09:34JOE IS DEEPLY OUT OF TOUCH WITH FOLKS IN THIS DISTRICT.
00:09:37WHILE I WAS HOLDING 54 PUBLIC
00:09:40TOWN HALLS TO MY CONSTITUENTS,
00:09:44JOE WAS SPENDING HIS TIME PARTYING AT MAR A LAGO, SPENDING
00:09:48UPWARDS OF $90,000 AND WRITING IT OFF AS A CAMPAIGN.
00:09:54$90,000 IS MORE THAN THE AVERAGE
00:09:56IOWA MAKES IN AN ENTIRE YEAR.
00:09:58THERE'S SOMEONE WHO HAS THE WRONG PRIORITIES AND IS DEEPLY
00:10:01OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE CHALLENGES THAT OUR FAMILIES ARE FACING.
00:10:04>> JOE MITCHELL, WOULD YOU LIKE TO RESPOND? >> THERE WAS A LOT THERE THAT
00:10:08WAS QUITE A BIT OF A WORD SALAD, BUT SO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT AGRICULTURE, WHICH SHE BROUGHT UP FIRST.
00:10:12SO WHEN JOE BIDEN WAS LEAVING OFFICE IN OCTOBER OF 2024, JUST
00:10:16TWO YEARS AGO, THESE PEOPLE WERE IN CHARGE NOT 20 YEARS AGO, BUT TWO YEARS AGO.
00:10:20THE PRICE OF CORN WAS $4.
00:10:23THE OF SOYBEANS WAS $9.20.
00:10:26AND SO THE PRICE OF SOYBEANS NOW
00:10:30$12.50 A BUSHEL. PRICE OF CORN DOLLARS $0.60 A BUSHEL. THAT NEEDS TO COME UP MORE.
00:10:34BUT IT'S BECAUSE PRESIDENT TRUMP STRUCK A TRADE DEAL, A HISTORIC
00:10:38TRADE DEAL WITH CHINA TO SELL 25
00:10:40MILLION METRIC TONS OF SOYBEANS TO CHINA, WHICH THEY'RE
00:10:43FULFILLING THAT RIGHT. AND SO IF YOU TALK TO ANY FARMER
00:10:47THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THEY'RE NOT BEING FOOLED BY THIS.
00:10:49AND SO, AGAIN, TARIFFS HAVE BEEN IN PLACE, BUT CORN AND SOYBEANS
00:10:53HAVE WENT UP A FACT. AND SO I'VE TALKED TO OF FARMERS
00:10:57AROUND THE DISTRICT, AND IT WAS MY FIRST TIME BECAUSE I GREW UP
00:10:59IN SMALL TOWN IOWA, I'VE BEEN IN SMALL TOWN IOWA MY ENTIRE LIFE.
00:11:04AND EVERY ONE OF THEM THAT I TALKED TO SAYS THEY WHAT THE
00:11:06PRESIDENT'S DOING ON TARIFFS. THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT HE'S DOING
00:11:09ON TRADE BECAUSE, SEE, THINGS LIKE THIS HISTORIC SOYBEAN DEAL
00:11:13THAT HE MADE WITH CHINA, THEY WANT TO RESET THE TABLE.
00:11:16THEY FOR DECADES, WE'VE HAD PRESIDENTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE
00:11:20AISLE SELL OUR FARMERS OUT AND
00:11:23DO IT ON THE BASIS THIS THING
00:11:25CALLED FREE TRADE, WHEN WASN'T
00:11:27FREE FOR ANYBODY BESIDES, THE FOREIGN COMPANIES RIPPING US OFF.
00:11:30AND SO THE PRESIDENT IN FAIR TRADE, I BELIEVE IN FAIR TRADE.
00:11:33YOU KNOW, I RAN A CAMPAIGN TALKING DOZENS AND DOZENS OF
00:11:36FARMERS AROUND DISTRICT. WE'VE TALKED TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AROUND THE DISTRICT,
00:11:39PEOPLE THAT ARE MAKING HARD CHOICES, BUT PEOPLE THAT WERE
00:11:42MAKING FAR HARDER CHOICES, JOE BIDEN. SO WHEN JOE BIDEN WAS IN OFFICE
00:11:46FOR FOUR YEARS, DEMOCRATS SAY TO PEOPLE THAT INFLATION, YOU
00:11:50INFLATION WAS THREE TIMES HIGHER UNDER JOE BIDEN IN THE AND UNDER THE PRESIDENT.
00:11:54RIGHT NOW. AND THAT'S BECAUSE OF OUT OF CONTROL SPENDING. THAT'S BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO
00:11:57TAX EVERYONE MORE. THAT'S BECAUSE OF THE POLICIES
00:11:59DIRECTLY FROM. THE PRESIDENT.
00:12:04PRESIDENT BIDEN AND HIS ADMINISTRATION. AND IT DROVE COST OF LIVING FOR EVERYBODY. >> ONE FINAL QUICK QUESTION ON
00:12:08TARIFFS. YEAH. >> LINDSEY JAMES, CAN YOU JUST DESCRIBE YOUR COMFORT LEVEL WITH
00:12:11THE TRADE WAR WITH CANADA RIGHT NOW? >> OH, SURE.
00:12:15I MEAN, IT IS ALL OF THE POLICY
00:12:17AND TRADE POLICIES THAT ARE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW UNDER THIS
00:12:21ARE CHAOTIC AND IMPULSIVE AND. THEY'RE DRIVING UP COSTS, IN
00:12:24PARTICULAR HOUSING. I'VE BEEN A CHAMPION FOR HOUSING
00:12:27IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE. IN FACT, I'M KNOWN BY FOLKS IN
00:12:31THE STATE FOR FIGHTING AGAINST PRIVATE EQUITY FIRMS WHO ARE
00:12:35COMING IN AND BUYING UP HOUSING,
00:12:38BUT ALSO NURSING HOMES AND ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES,
00:12:42STORAGE UNITS EVEN. THEY'RE COMING IN AND BUYING UP
00:12:44MOBILE HOME PARKS AND THEY'RE GOUGING FOLKS OUT OF THEIR VERY HOMES.
00:12:48I'VE STOOD UP AND I'VE FOUGHT AGAINST THESE FOLKS AND I WILL
00:12:51CONTINUE TO AGAINST THE SPECIAL
00:12:55INTERESTS AND THE LARGE CORPORATIONS THAT ARE REALLY
00:12:57INFORMING THIS IMPULSE AND CHAOTIC POLICY.
00:13:00I WOULD ARGUE THAT A OF WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN TERMS OF
00:13:05POLICIES THAT ARE DRIVING UP COSTS ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO
00:13:08THE CORRUPTION IN WASHINGTON,
00:13:10D.C. I'M SOMEONE COMMITTED TO FIGHTING AGAINST THAT.
00:13:14I DON'T TAKE A DIME OF CORPORATE DOLLARS IN THIS CAMPAIGN.
00:13:17I'M GOING TO WORK TO BAN STOCK TRADING AMONGST MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
00:13:22WORK TO ENSURE TERM LIMITS AND
00:13:24AGE LIMITS OF WORK TO MAKE SURE
00:13:26THAT WE BAN THE LEGISLATOR
00:13:28LOBBYIST PIPELINE AND CITIZENS UNITED.
00:13:31MY OPPONENT HAS HIS CAREER IN THE STATE OFFICE ENRICHING
00:13:35HIMSELF AND BUSINESS DEVELOPER
00:13:39INTERESTS TO THE TUNE OF $3 MILLION. THIS IS SOMEONE IS IN THIS FOR
00:13:45HIMSELF RIGGING THE SYSTEM JUST LIKE WE'VE SEEN CORRUPT POLICIES
00:13:47IN WASHINGTON AND HOW THEY'VE
00:13:50DRIVEN UP COSTS HERE FOR OUR FAMILIES. >> JOE MITCHELL, WHAT IS YOUR
00:13:54COMFORT LEVEL WITH THAT? >> TARIFFS IN CANADA?
00:13:58>> SO, FIRST OF ALL, IT'S FUNNY. MY OPPONENT, SHE TALKS ABOUT HOW
00:14:01ALL THESE TARIFFS POLICIES ARE
00:14:03CHAOTIC AND IMPULSIVE WHEN SHE
00:14:05VOTED FOR THE VERY THAT BROUGHT
00:14:07A STEEL, AGAIN, $15 BILLION
00:14:10INVESTMENT TO THIS STATE OF THESE EXACT POLICIES THAT SHE
00:14:14JUST ADMITTED. AND THEN SHE OFF ON THESE
00:14:18ATTACKS ON ME TALKING ABOUT HOW AS A LOBBYIST OF THE CAPITAL, WHICH IS UNTRUE.
00:14:20EVERYONE CAN FACT CHECK THAT. SHE SAYS THAT I'VE ENRICHED
00:14:24MYSELF. I'VE INVESTED TENS OF MILLIONS
00:14:25OF DOLLARS RULE IOWA BUILDING HOUSING.
00:14:29AND BY THE WAY, USING A TAX RATE THAT SHE VOTED FOR EVERY SINGLE
00:14:33YEAR AT THE STATE HOUSE. AND YOU KNOW THAT LINDSEY AND SO
00:14:35I SAY WE NEED MORE BUILDERS, WE NEED MORE DEVELOPERS.
00:14:38ENROLL IOWA BECAUSE I KNOW ABOUT REAL IOWA. I GREW UP IN IOWA.
00:14:42SHE DID NOT GROW UP THERE, GREW UP IN PORTLAND, OREGON.
00:14:44AND SO, AGAIN WE DON'T JUDGE LINDSAY FOR BEING FROM PORTLAND.
00:14:48WE JUDGE HER FOR BRINGING HER VALUES TO. SHE'S VOTED LIKE THAT EVERY
00:14:50SINGLE STEP THE WAY. AND SO, AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE DONE WITH ALL YOUR
00:14:54TALKING POINTS ABOUT AND ALL YOUR ATTACKS, BUT BACK TO TARIFF
00:14:58QUESTION. SO ULTIMATELY FOR ME, I WANT
00:15:01FAIR TRADE, WHETHER THAT'S WITH ADVERSARIES OR AND WE HAVE BEEN
00:15:05RIPPED OFF FOR LONG TIME, WHETHER THAT WAS CANADA, MEXICO,
00:15:09THE EUROPEAN UNION, BRAZIL, CHINA AND WE'RE RESETTING THE
00:15:11TABLE FOR YEARS TO COME. I'M GLAD THE PRESIDENT IS DOING
00:15:15IT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FAIR TRADE. OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN
00:15:18WOULD THANK HIM FOR THAT. >> LET'S MOVE ON TO THE NEXT TOPIC.
00:15:21>> I WOULD LOVE TO JUST ADDRESS
00:15:24THE PORTLAND PIECE BECAUSE. I DO THINK THAT THAT IS JUST AN
00:15:28ABSURD THAT JOE IS MAKING.
00:15:30I DIDN'T GET TO CHOOSE WHERE I WAS BORN AS A CHILD.
00:15:34WHAT I CHOSE AS AN WAS BUILDING
00:15:36MY LIFE HERE IN NORTHEAST IOWA
00:15:40IN IOWA'S SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
00:15:43AND I DID THAT BECAUSE I BELIEVE
00:15:45THAT IOWA IS THE BEST PLACE WORK
00:15:47AND RAISE A FAMILY FOR ME. IOWA'S SECOND CONGRESSIONAL
00:15:51DISTRICT IS HOME.
00:15:53>> WHAT JOE IS CONVENIENTLY
00:15:55OMITTING IS THE FACT THAT ACTUALLY MOVED TO SECOND
00:15:59CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, A WEEK BEFORE HE ANNOUNCED CAMPAIGN FOR
00:16:03CONGRESS. >> FOR ME IOWA'S SECOND
00:16:06CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT IS HOME FOR JOE.
00:16:08IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY GET WEALTHIER AND ADVANCE A
00:16:11POLITICAL CAREER, REALLY. >> SO THIS IS BEFORE MADE HER
00:16:15HOME LA IN SAN FRANCISCO, MASSACHUSETTS BEFORE SHE MOVED
00:16:19TO IOWA JUST TEN YEARS AGO. IMMEDIATELY RAN FOR OFFICE.
00:16:22SHE GETS AN OFFICE, MISSED OVER HALF HER VOTES. THIS LAST LEGISLATIVE.
00:16:26AND WHEN SHE WAS THERE, WHICH WAS PROBABLY SHE WAS VOTING TO GIVE ILLEGAL STATE FUNDED
00:16:31MEDICAID, FOOD STAMPS, HOUSING ASSISTANCE, SEX CHANGES FOR KIDS.
00:16:36SHE HASN'T SEEN A TAX RAISE SHE DIDN'T LIKE.
00:16:38SHE WAS LETTING CRIMINALS OFF, VIOLENT CRIMINALS THAT WE WERE
00:16:40TRYING TO PENALIZE AND GIVE IT TO THREE, THREE THREE TO STRIKE
00:16:43LIED TO SO AGAIN WE DON'T JUDGE FOR BEING POOR. PORTLAND, OREGON.
00:16:48WHEN SHE BRINGS HER PORTLAND, OREGON VALUE MISLEADING. IT IS NOT AND YOU KNOW THAT KNOW
00:16:52THAT THAT IS NOT CORRECT. YOU KNOW IT'S OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WELL, WE'LL HAVE EVERYTHING ON
00:16:56OUR PAGE AFTER THIS. EVERY SINGLE BILL THAT SHE VOTED THAT WE JUST LISTEN UP.
00:17:00>> IF WE COULD MOVE ON TO THE IRAN.
00:17:03>> YOU BOTH HAVE SAID YOU DO NOT
00:17:05SUPPORT ENDLESS WARS. >> LINDSAY JAMES, YOU'VE SAID
00:17:08YOU WOULD VOTE FOR A WAR POWERS RESOLUTION IN THE U.S. TO BRING THE WAR TO END.
00:17:12WHAT DOES THE END OF THE WAR LOOK LIKE?
00:17:15DOES THAT MEAN THE TROOPS AND
00:17:17MATERIEL WITHDRAWS FROM THE MIDDLE EAST?
00:17:20>> DO U.S. SUPPORT OF ISRAEL
00:17:24DECREASE? >> SO THE WAR IN IRAN JUST, LIKE THE TERRORISTS, HAVE BEEN IMPULSIVE, CHAOTIC.
00:17:28THERE HAS BEEN NO PLAN WHEN IT
00:17:30COMES TO WAR IN MIDDLE EAST. I'M SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT BELIEVE
00:17:34THAT IRAN SHOULD HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON.
00:17:37BUT WHAT WE SEEN HAPPEN THERE
00:17:41IS, WE HAVE SEEN BILLIONS OF
00:17:44DOLLARS OF $47 BILLION GO TO AN
00:17:46ENDLESS AND CHAOTIC WAR IN THAT
00:17:48HAS DRIVEN UP COSTS FOR IOWA,
00:17:52HARDWORKING FAMILIES AND IT'S RESULTED IN THE LOSS IOWANS LIVES.
00:17:57IT IS TIME TO END THE WAR IN IMMEDIATELY BRING OUR TROOPS
00:18:01HOME, BRING ALL OF THOSE FINANCIAL RESOURCES BACK TO OUR OWN COUNTRY.
00:18:05I'M INTERESTED IN INVESTING IN RURAL HEALTH CARE.
00:18:08I'M INTERESTED IN INVESTING IN
00:18:10OUR SCHOOLS FOR OUR SCHOOLS AS A MOM. I'VE GOT TO TEENAGERS.
00:18:14YES. PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS WELCOME AS
00:18:17I PARENT TEENAGERS THOSE KIDS
00:18:21AND OUR KIDS, OUR SCHOOLS GIVE THEM THEIR BEST CHANCE AT LIFE.
00:18:23AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT CAN
00:18:25BE ABLE TO AFFORD BUY INTO THE
00:18:27HOUSING MARKET, CAN AFFORD CARE,
00:18:29CAN AFFORD BUILDING LIFE WE KNOW THAT THEY DESERVE HERE AND.
00:18:33WE CAN DO THINGS WITH THOSE KINDS OF RESOURCES AND INVEST IN OUR COMMUNITY HERE.
00:18:37IT'S TO END THE WAR. JOE MITCHELL WHEN SHOULD THE WAR
00:18:41END AND YOU'VE SUGGESTED THAT EVERY PRESIDENT IN THIS CENTURY
00:18:44BASICALLY HAS SORT ABUSED THE WAR POWERS PRIVILEGE.
00:18:48>> WHAT'S THE RESOLUTION. >> SO I HAVE SAID THE WAR SHOULD
00:18:52END. AS SOON AS WE CAN END. TWO THINGS TO BE TRUE ONES AND.
00:18:55I THINK ME AND LINDSEY BOTH AGREE ON THIS, THAT IRAN CAN NOT
00:18:58HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON OPENING. RIGHT ON THAT.
00:19:01AND NUMBER TWO, COSTS MUST COME DOWN.
00:19:03AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW COSTS HAVE BEEN HIGH.
00:19:06I WOULD ARGUE BECAUSE OF JOE BIDEN, THE DEMOCRATS, IN FOUR
00:19:09YEARS OF CONTROL THAT THEY HAD IN THE POLICIES THAT THEY
00:19:13PASSED. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE HAVING
00:19:15MORE OIL TANKERS THROUGH THE
00:19:17STRAIT THAN THERE WAS PRE-WAR. AND THAT'S A FACT. YOU HAVE 22 MILLION BARRELS A
00:19:21DAY RUNNING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ.
00:19:25THE IS IS THAT YOU HAVE REFINED
00:19:28RIGS BOTH DOMESTICALLY, GLOBALLY, THAT HAVE BEEN SHUT DOWN.
00:19:32YOU'VE HAD UKRAINE BOMBING UKRAINIAN OR UKRAINE BOMBING,
00:19:36RUSSIAN REFINERIES, WHICH IS
00:19:38SHORTENED THE WORLD'S OIL SUPPLY.
00:19:40AND SO YOU HAVE OIL, YOU DO NOT HAVE CRUDE OIL THAT'S BEING REFINED.
00:19:44AND THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN. AND SO THERE'S A MULTITUDE OF
00:19:48REASONS WHY OIL PRICES AND GAS PRICES HIGH RIGHT NOW.
00:19:50WE NEED TO GET THOSE DOWN.
00:19:52I SUPPORT SUSPENDING THE GAS TAX
00:19:56BOTH ON THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVEL. THAT IS SOMETHING I WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF AND HAVE BEEN
00:20:00SUPPORTIVE FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS. AND SO, AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO
00:20:04SEE THIS CONFLICT COME TO AN END. WE WANT TO DO IT IN THE MOST
00:20:08STRATEGIC WAY POSSIBLE. WE WANT TO BRING OUR MEN AND
00:20:10WOMEN IN UNIFORM BACK HERE TO THE STATES.
00:20:13AND I HAVE SAID THAT. I THINK THE RESOLUTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN PUT MOST RECENTLY BY
00:20:18DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN A KNEE JERK
00:20:21PARTIZAN ACTION TO DEFY THE
00:20:23PRESIDENT AND. I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE A
00:20:25BROADER, MORE BIPARTISAN THAN
00:20:27CONVERSATION WITH DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS, BECAUSE I DO THINK
00:20:31THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION, THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND THE
00:20:36CURRENT HAVE OVERSTEPPED ABOUT
00:20:39ON WHAT THEY DO FROM AN EXECUTIVE STANDPOINT.
00:20:42AND I THINK WE NEED TO HAVE A SERIOUS ABOUT THAT IN CONGRESS.
00:20:46I BELIEVE THAT THE CURRENT RESOLUTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN
00:20:49BROUGHT UP HAVE BEEN PARTIZAN BY THE DEMOCRATS.
00:20:51YOU MENTIONED THERE DIESEL AND FUEL PRICES.
00:20:55>> PARDON ME. CONGRESSMAN MATT HINSON, WHO
00:20:58CURRENTLY REPRESENTS THE SECOND DISTRICT, HAS ALSO PROPOSED TEMPORARILY SUSPENDING THE
00:21:01FEDERAL FUEL TAXES AND ALSO A DIESEL RELIEF FUND FOR FARMERS
00:21:05AND TRUCKERS. >> JOE MITCHELL CAN THAT BE DONE
00:21:10WITHOUT UNDERFUNDING IN INFRASTRUCTURE?
00:21:13>> YEAH, IF IT'S TEMPORARY. AGAIN, THIS ISN'T, YOU KNOW, A LONG TERM THING THAT WE'RE
00:21:17PROPOSING, YOU KNOW, NECESSARY BUT THE OTHER THING IS, TOO, IS
00:21:21THAT DEALING WITH THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HAS BEEN FOR THE GREEN NEW
00:21:23DEAL, FOR THE TEN YEARS, INCLUDING MY OPPONENT, WHO VOTED
00:21:27ON LEGISLATION IN, THE CAPITAL,
00:21:29TO TELL COUNTIES THAT THEY CAN
00:21:31BAN PROPANE AND NATURAL GAS IF THEY WANT TO DO THAT AND GO TO A
00:21:35NET CARBON SOLUTION. AND SO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A
00:21:38GROUP OF PEOPLE THIS IS A GROUP OF CANDIDATES THAT'S RUNNING
00:21:40RIGHT NOW THAT'S ACTING. THEY CARE ABOUT THE PRICE OF GAS
00:21:43AND THE PRICE OF DIESEL WHEN THEY ACTUALLY HATE FOSSIL FUELS.
00:21:45THEY HAVEN'T ANYTHING IN THE LAST TEN YEARS TO BUILD MORE
00:21:49REFINERIES TO INCENTIVIZE THAT, TO EXTRACT OIL. THEY'VE ACTUALLY DONE THE EXACT
00:21:54OPPOSITE. SHE'S BEEN ENDORSED BY THE SIERRA CLUB, WHO SAYS ON THEIR
00:21:58WEBSITE THAT THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN FOSSIL FUELS.
00:22:00AND SO THIS IS A IT CAN'T BE
00:22:02MORE OF A COUNTRY AS BLACK AND
00:22:05WHITE ON WHO SUPPORTS MADE ENERGY AND FOSSIL AND WHO
00:22:10DOESN'T. >> LINDSAY JAMES SAME QUESTION.
00:22:13HOW DO YOU ADDRESS HIGH FUEL
00:22:14PRICES WITHOUT IN.
00:22:19ROAD AND BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION IN IOWA? >> YEAH. >> THANK YOU. SO I DO WANT TO RESPOND WHAT I
00:22:23THINK IS HAPPENING AND WHAT WE VERY CLEARLY IS THAT JOE IS
00:22:27GOING TO SAY AND DO ANYTHING HE POSSIBLY CAN TO WIN THIS SEAT.
00:22:31HE HAS ACTUALLY SAID IT ON THE
00:22:33ON THE AIR THAT HE BELIEVES COSTS THAT IT'S DEBATABLE THAT
00:22:37COSTS GOING UP AND NOW HE'S FINALLY SAYING, OKAY.
00:22:39COSTS ARE GOING. HE IS FINDING EXCUSES.
00:22:43YOU KNOW, THIS IS YOU KNOW, FROM AN ADMINISTRATION LONG BEFORE
00:22:47HIS PARTY HAS BEEN IN POWER OVER
00:22:50THE LAST YEARS IN A TRIFECTA AND
00:22:53HAVE NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY THE
00:22:57REALITIES OF EVERYDAY HARDWORKING FAMILIES IN THIS STATE. WE ARE 50TH IN THE ECONOMY.
00:23:02WE'RE 48TH IN TERMS OF PERSONAL INCOME GROWTH.
00:23:04OUR RURAL HOSPITALS SYSTEMS ARE
00:23:07UNDER INCREDIBLE FINANCIAL
00:23:09STRAIN BECAUSE OF THE POLICIES COMING FROM WASHINGTON, D.C. THE
00:23:13POLICIES THAT EITHER JOE CONVENIENTLY SUPPORTS WHEN IT BENEFITS HIM.
00:23:16AND THIS, OR HE CAN CONVENIENTLY
00:23:20DISMISSES AND DENIES WHEN IT BENEFITS FOR THIS CAMPAIGN.
00:23:23WHAT YOU SEE IS SOMEONE WHO IS TALKING OUT OF BOTH SIDES, HIS
00:23:27MOUTH WHEN IT COMES TO LOWERING THE COSTS FOR FOR IOWANS.
00:23:30WE NEED TO TAKE SERIOUSLY OUR DEPENDANCE, FOSSIL FUELS AND
00:23:35OIL. WE DO NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE INVESTING IN RENEWABLE ENERGIES.
00:23:38IOWA HAS LED ON THIS, YOU KNOW,
00:23:42FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND INVESTING RENEWABLE ENERGIES AND
00:23:46REMOVING DEPENDANCE ON FOREIGN OIL WILL ACTUALLY CREATE MORE
00:23:49ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR
00:23:51YOUNG PEOPLE TO BUILD THEIR LIFE AND ACTUALLY HELP WITH COSTS.
00:23:54>> SO THERE A TEMPORARY DO DO YOU SUPPORT THE TEMPORARY
00:23:58SUSPENSION OF THE GAS TAX.
00:24:00>> I ABSOLUTELY ON THE TABLE FOR SURE.
00:24:02THAT IS THAT I WOULD WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT IN A
00:24:06MOMENT LIKE BECAUSE IT COSTS AT
00:24:10THE PUMP ARE SO SIGNIFICANT AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
00:24:14GIVING IMMEDIATE RELIEF TO HARD
00:24:16WORKING FAMILIES IN IOWA AND IMMEDIATE RELIEF TO OUR FARMERS
00:24:20ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS
00:24:23RAPIDLY DEVELOPING AND TECH LEADERS HAVE STARTED CALLING FOR
00:24:27GUARDRAILS OVER SAFETY AND OVERSIGHT CONCERNS.
00:24:29>> LINDSAY JAMES PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS SAID HE DOESN'T WANT TO
00:24:33REGULATE AND RECENTLY ANNOUNCED A NEW TASK FORCE TO ENSURE
00:24:36AMERICA LEADS THE WORLD ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
00:24:39DO AGREE WITH HIS STANCE OR DO YOU SUPPORT REGULATION?
00:24:42AND IF SO, WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE?
00:24:44I'M A MOM WITH KIDS AND SO I
00:24:48DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE ADVANCEMENT OF TECHNOLOGY.
00:24:51>> WE NEED GUARDRAILS. WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR KIDS.
00:24:53WE NEED PROTECT OUR JOBS. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE
00:24:57PROTECTING CONSUMERS FROM RISING COSTS.
00:24:59WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HOLD ACCOUNTABLE COMPANIES THAT
00:25:03ARE BENEFITING TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS OFF THE BACKS OF HARDWORKING FAMILIES THIS
00:25:07DISTRICT. AS SOMEONE WHO HAS FOUGHT
00:25:09AGAINST PRIVATE EQUITY FOUGHT
00:25:12AGAINST BIG INSURANCE COMPANIES, PREDATORY LANDLORDS.
00:25:15I'M SOMEONE WHO HAS A TRACK RECORD OF FIGHTING FOR HARDWORKING FAMILIES IN THIS
00:25:20STATE. AND I'M GOING TO TAKE THAT FIGHT TO WASHINGTON WHEN IT COMES TO MAKING SURE THAT THERE ARE
00:25:24GUARDRAILS, THE DEVELOPMENT OF A.I. TECHNOLOGY. >> ARE THERE ANY SPECIFIC
00:25:27GUARDRAILS THAT YOU WOULD LOOK AT? OH, ABSOLUTELY. >> FACT, I HAVE AN ENTIRE PLAN
00:25:32ON ON MY WEBSITE AS WELL.
00:25:33BUT WE NEED WE NEED THINGS LIKE.
00:25:37THE STOP AND LIST OF SCROLLING AND PARAMETERS FOR SOCIAL MEDIA
00:25:40FOR OUR KIDS. WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO HAVE HARD
00:25:44CONVERSATIONS WITH THOSE WHO DEVELOPING AND MAKE SURE THAT
00:25:47THERE IS SAFE, SECURE IN PLACE
00:25:50TO MAKE SURE WE ARE KEEPING OUR
00:25:54COMMUNITIES AND OUR KIDS SAFE. AND JOE MITCHELL, SAME QUESTION FOR YOU.
00:25:57>> DO YOU SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT'S STANCE OR DO YOU WANT SEE SOME GUARDRAILS?
00:26:00>> SO A NUMBER OF THINGS BECAUSE THERE'S A I AND THERE'S DATA
00:26:04CENTERS. AND SO IT'S SPECIFICALLY IN THE DATA CENTER PART, SPECIFICALLY.
00:26:08I DON'T THINK ANY COMMUNITY SHOULD BE FORCED TO HAVE A DATA CENTER.
00:26:11I THINK THE COMMUNITY MUST MAKE THAT DECISION TO HAVE A DATA CENTER IF WANT TO HAVE IT OR NOT.
00:26:15AND IF THEY DECIDE HAVE IT, THAT DATA CENTER HAS TO FOR THEIR OWN
00:26:19INFRASTRUCTURE. WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT RATES DON'T GO UP FOR PAYERS
00:26:23ELECTRICITY RATES. WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE IT'S A NET
00:26:26BENEFIT TO THAT COMMUNITY. AND I HAVE SAID I WILL SPONSOR
00:26:29LEGISLATION IN CONGRESS TO MAKE
00:26:32SURE THAT NO TAX INCENTIVES OR, TAX CREDITS GO TOWARDS DATA
00:26:36CENTERS. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SENATOR BERNIE MARINO HAS INTRODUCED
00:26:40FROM OHIO AND I WOULD CO-SPONSOR THAT AND HEAR THAT LEGISLATION
00:26:43ON THE HOUSE. AND SO I THINK WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE, AGAIN, THAT THESE DATA
00:26:46CENTERS THAT ARE COMING IN COMMUNITIES WANTS THEM. THEY'RE PAYING FOR
00:26:50INFRASTRUCTURE. THEY THE CLOSED LOOP SYSTEM. ELECTRICITY RATES ARE NOT GOING
00:26:53OUT FOR RATEPAYERS. AND THEN SPECIFICALLY ON THE
00:26:56SAFETY SIDE FOR I YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY THAT THINKS WE SHOULD
00:27:00DISCUSS HAVING A BAN ON SOCIAL MEDIA FOR PEOPLE UNDER 16.
00:27:03I GREW IN THAT ERA. I'M ONLY 29 YEARS OLD.
00:27:06AND SO FACEBOOK AND TWITTER AND INSTAGRAM ALL OF THOSE THINGS
00:27:10WERE AROUND WHEN I WAS GROWING UP. I DON'T THINK IT'S HEALTHY.
00:27:13A LOT OF TIMES, PEOPLE UNDER THE
00:27:15AGE OF 16 TO BE SCROLLING AND
00:27:17REALLY NOT HAVE OUTSIDE OF WHAT'S ON THEIR PHONE.
00:27:21AND SO I THINK THERE COULD BE A LOT OF DANGER TO THAT.
00:27:24AND I THINK IT'S SOMETHING SHOULD HAVE A DISCUSSION ON
00:27:26BECAUSE YOU CAN'T A DRIVER LICENSE BEFORE YOU'RE 16 YEARS OLD.
00:27:30YOU RUN AN RATED-R MOVIE BEFORE YOU'RE 18 YEARS OLD.
00:27:33YOU CAN'T BUY ALCOHOL. YOU'RE 21. AND SO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS
00:27:37SOMETHING I THINK, YOU KNOW, IS, YOU KNOW, HEALTH CRISIS THAT WE
00:27:40HAVE A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS. AND I THINK SHOULD MOST
00:27:43DEFINITELY TALK ABOUT PARAMETERS WE CAN PUT ON SPECIFICALLY TO
00:27:46KEEP CHILDREN SAFE. >> LINDSAY JAMES, DO YOU THINK
00:27:49SHOULD BE ON FACEBOOK AND
00:27:52INSTAGRAM AND TIKTOK?
00:27:54>> SO I WILL TELL YOU THAT AS A
00:27:56PARENT MYSELF RAISING TEENAGERS,
00:27:58WE HAVE LIMITED OUR KIDS USE
00:28:00THEY DON'T USE SOCIAL MEDIA AND
00:28:02WE HAVE LIMITED IT UNTIL THE AGE OF 16.
00:28:06NOW, MY DAUGHTER JUST TURNED 16 AND WE ACTUALLY DECIDED TO WAIT
00:28:10UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION FOR HER
00:28:12TO RECEIVE, YOU KNOW, SOCIAL
00:28:16PRIVILEGES. AND I FEEL REALLY GRATEFUL FOR
00:28:19THAT BECAUSE I WANT FOLKS TO
00:28:21KNOW THAT MY HAS USED MY 16 YEAR
00:28:24OLD DAUGHTER IN AN ATTACK AD
00:28:26AGAINST USED IMAGES OF AND AND
00:28:30PUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA WHEN AND
00:28:33THAT IS NOT TRUE YOU SHOULD NOT USE.
00:28:35>> YOU SHOULD LOOK AT YOUR OWN NOT USE IMAGES OF YOUR.
00:28:39>> I HAD TO SIT DOWN WITH MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND SAY TO HER
00:28:43THAT SHE WAS INCLUDED IN AN ATTACK AD AND I HAD TO SHOW HER
00:28:46THIS ATTACK AD WHERE SHE WAS PICTURED AND HER FACE WAS BLURRED.
00:28:51BUT SHE WAS CLEARLY IDENTIFIABLE AND SHE FELT SHE MY ENTIRE FAMILY.
00:28:54JOE MITCHELL USED THE FAMILY PHOTOS OF MINE TOO.
00:28:58>> SO DON'T THROW MY FAMILY IN HERE TOO. >> I HAVE NOT USED ANY FAMILY
00:29:01BECAUSE YOU HAVE YOURS. YES, YOU HAVE. I AM.
00:29:03IT'S A I BELIEVE THAT IS A LIE.
00:29:06I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT
00:29:08PROTECTING KIDS AND AM DEEPLY
00:29:10ALARMED BY WHAT JOE MITCHELL.
00:29:12WILL DO TO WIN THIS SEAT AND
00:29:14BECOME THE MEMBER OF CONGRESS.
00:29:17WE CANNOT. SOMEONE WHO RIGS THE SYSTEM FOR
00:29:20HIMSELF WHO WILL JEOPARDIZE OUR
00:29:23KIDS WHO WILL DO OR SAY ANYTHING TO WIN THIS SEAT.
00:29:27I AM SOMEONE AS A CHAPLAIN WITH A MORAL COMPASS AND COURAGE OF
00:29:31CONVICTION. WHEN IT COMES TO MY FAITH, CARING FOR MY NEIGHBOR IS NOT OPTIONAL.
00:29:34THIS IS SERIOUS STUFF THAT WE ARE FACING RIGHT NOW IN OUR
00:29:38COUNTRY. I BELIEVE THAT IN THE NEXT 2 TO 4 YEARS, WE'RE GOING TAKE SOME
00:29:41OF THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL VOTES. WE NEED SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS
00:29:45REALITIES OF HARDWORKING FAMILIES AND IS GOING TO GO TO
00:29:47BAT FOR THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT
00:29:49THEY HAVE THE LIFE THAT THEY CAN BUILD HERE IN THIS STATE.
00:29:53TALK ABOUT ENERGY FOR CASTOR'S
00:29:56OR PREDICTING IOWANS MAY BE PAYING HUNDREDS MORE DOLLARS PER
00:30:00MONTH BY 2035 FOR ELECTED CITY.
00:30:03>> JOE MITCHELL YOU'VE SAID IT'S TIME.
00:30:06>> UNLEASH DOMESTIC ENERGY PRODUCTION. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
00:30:09BECAUSE THE US ALREADY EXPORTS
00:30:12ITS ENERGY. >> SO WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT IS
00:30:15WE NEED NUCLEAR PLANTS, WE NEED MORE NATURAL GAS PLANTS, CLEAN
00:30:20COAL. YOU KNOW, WE NEED ALL KINDS OF
00:30:22TO BE ABLE TO PRODUCE WHAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE'S
00:30:26ELECTRICITY DON'T GO UP. AND THE ONLY WAY DO THAT IS TO
00:30:28PRODUCE MORE ENERGY. AND SO, AGAIN, WE CAN'T JUST DO
00:30:32IT WITH WIND AND SOLAR. AND I KNOW THAT'S WHAT LINDSEY BELIEVES IN WITH THE GREEN NEW DEAL.
00:30:36BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE ALL OF THE ABOVE APPROACH AND WE HAVE TO
00:30:39HAVE THINGS THAT HAVE WORKED FOR A LONG TIME. AND IT'S NOT JUST GOING TO BE
00:30:43WIND TURBINES AND SOLAR PANELS. IT'S TO BE COAL.
00:30:45IT'S GOING TO BE NUCLEAR. IT'S GOING TO BE NATURAL GAS PLANTS.
00:30:49SO WE NEED ALL OF THOSE RESOURCES THAT ARE DISPOSAL TO
00:30:51MAKE SURE THAT ELECTRICITY DON'T GO UP FOR RATEPAYERS.
00:30:55>> LINDSAY JAMES, YOUR WEBSITE SAYS AMERICAN SHOULD BE
00:30:58UNLEASHED AND NEW OF ENERGY NEED
00:31:00TO BE FAST TRACKED. >> WHAT NEEDS TO BE FAST TRACKED AND?
00:31:04PEOPLE WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH DISTRICT MAY KNOW THAT THERE'S A
00:31:08NUCLEAR THERE THAT'S BEING RECOMMISSIONED.
00:31:10YEAH, ALL OF THOSE KINDS OF APPROACHES I THINK WILL REDUCE
00:31:13OUR DEPENDANCE, OIL AND FOSSIL
00:31:16WIND, SOLAR OR HYDRO BIOFUELS.
00:31:19THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT WE'VE
00:31:21LET IN AS IOWANS AND WE CAN
00:31:23CONTINUE TO LEAD IN. >> LINDSAY JAMES IS A STATE
00:31:28LAWMAKER. TALK ABOUT HEALTH CARE. NOW YOU'VE SEEN HOW MEDICAID
00:31:32SPENDING HAS BECOME AN INCREASINGLY LARGER SHARE OF STATES BUDGETS.
00:31:36HOW A FEDERAL LAWMAKER WOULD YOU ATTEMPT TO HELP STATES BY
00:31:40KEEPING THOSE COSTS FROM CONTINUING TO RISE. >> SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I
00:31:44HAVE HEARD OVER AND OVER AGAIN ARE THAT PEOPLE ARE, ONE, HEALTH
00:31:47CARE EMERGENCY AWAY FROM, YOU KNOW, NOT BEING ABLE TO PAY
00:31:50THEIR MORTGAGE, FACING LOSING
00:31:53THEIR HOME HEALTH CARE EMERGENCY
00:31:55AWAY FROM NOT BEING ABLE TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE FOR THEIR
00:31:59KIDS, THEIR HEALTH CARE COSTS BECAUSE OF POLICIES LIKE THE ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL ARE
00:32:03SKYROCKETING FAMILIES ACROSS THIS DISTRICT THAT BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL JEOPARDIZES
00:32:0725,000 IOWANS. HEALTH CARE. IT HAS RESULTED, AS I'VE SAID
00:32:12EARLIER, IN JOB LOSSES, 134
00:32:15HEALTH CARE PROVIDER JOB LOSSES.
00:32:17THIS DISTRICT TO A CLINIC CLOSE IN TRAILER.
00:32:20FOLKS ARE SEEING SKYROCKETING.
00:32:22PREMIUM COSTS SKYROCKETING COSTS.
00:32:25IT COMES TO THEIR PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION. AND SO WHAT WE NEED TO DO IN
00:32:29ORDER TO OFFER FINANCIAL RELIEF IMMEDIATELY.
00:32:34FOR FOLKS WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR HEALTH CARE COSTS IS TO ROLL BACK THE CUTS TO MEDICAID AND MEDICARE AND TO ROLL BACK THE
00:32:38CUTS TO THE ACA WHICH WILL THEN
00:32:42INFUSE THOSE RESOURCES BACK INTO
00:32:44RURAL HOSPITAL SYSTEMS, WHICH
00:32:46THEY SO DESPERATELY NEED RIGHT NOW.
00:32:49AND SO WORKING TOWARD POLICIES LOWER THOSE COSTS FOR, EVERYDAY,
00:32:53HARDWORKING FAMILIES IS WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.
00:32:55>> SO THAT ADDRESSES FAMILIES. THE STATE LEVEL, THOUGH, LIKE
00:32:58LIKE I SAID, STATE IOWA'S SPENDING ON MEDICAID CONTINUES
00:33:02TO BE A LARGER AND LARGER PERCENTAGE OF THE STATE'S BUDGET. HOW DO YOU AVOID THAT?
00:33:07SO STATE ISN'T HAVING TO MAKE A
00:33:09DIFFICULT THAT IMPACT ON ITS MEDICAID.
00:33:12SO I THINK IOWANS YEAH, I APPRECIATE THAT BECAUSE IN THE
00:33:17IOWA STATE LEGISLATURE WE HAVE TO BALANCE THE BUDGET BUT WE'VE
00:33:20SEEN IN THE LAST TEN YEARS WITH THAT REPUBLICAN OF THE IOWA
00:33:25LEGISLATURE, THE FIRST TIME OUR STATE FACING BUDGET DEFICIT.
00:33:28>> I AM SOMEONE BELIEVES IN FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY.
00:33:30I BELIEVE IN BALANCING A BUDGET I WENT TO BALANCE THAT BUDGET THE LAST EIGHT YEARS.
00:33:34BUT UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE REPUBLICANS, WE'RE SEEING A
00:33:38BUDGET DEFICIT THAT WAS BECAUSE
00:33:40OF TAX THAT DISPROPORTIONATELY
00:33:44HELP THOSE WHO ARE ULTRA WEALTHY IN OUR STATE AND DON'T ACTUALLY
00:33:48ADDRESS THE TAX BURDEN OF
00:33:50EVERYDAY HARDWORKING FAMILIES AND MIDDLE CLASS IOWANS. IT'S THE RESULT PRIVATE SCHOOL
00:33:56VOUCHERS ARE A BLANK CHECK TO. THOSE PRIVATE ENTITIES THAT
00:34:00DON'T BY THE SAME SET OF RULES AS OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
00:34:02THE RESULT HAS MEANT THAT WE ARE
00:34:04IN A DEATH SPIRAL IN STATE
00:34:08LEGISLATURE. I'M SOMEONE WHO IS GOING TO
00:34:10APPLY PRINCIPLES OF FISCAL
00:34:12RESPONSIBILITY AS A MOM. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE
00:34:16WE CAN PAY THE UTILITY BILL, PAY MORTGAGE, MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE
00:34:20GOT ENOUGH FOR GASOLINE AND GROCERIES. THIS IS SOMETHING MY OPPONENT
00:34:23HAS NEVER HAD TO DO. HE'S NEVER HAD TO WORRY ABOUT. AS SOMEONE WHO MAKES MILLIONS OF
00:34:27DOLLARS OFF OF US AS TAXPAYERS HE'S NEVER HAD TO WORRY ABOUT
00:34:30SAVING FOR DOWN PAYMENT ON A HOUSE. HE'S NEVER HAD TO WORRY, ABOUT
00:34:33PUTTING FOOD ON THE TABLE FOR, KIDS HE'S NEVER HAD TO WORRY
00:34:36ABOUT THE COST OF CHILD CARE.
00:34:39>> SO AND FORGIVE ME. >> I'M STILL NOT SURE I HEARD
00:34:41ANYTHING THAT SPECIFICALLY THE GROWTH OF MEDICAID SPENDING BY THE STATES.
00:34:46>> WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE FISCAL WHEN IT COMES TO OUR
00:34:49STATE BUDGETS AND MAKE SURE THAT IOWANS RECEIVE HEALTH CARE,
00:34:53THERE'S WAYS THAT WE CAN ADDRESS HEALTH TO LOWER COSTS IMMEDIATELY.
00:34:57I TALK A LOT ABOUT PUTTING ON
00:35:01PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES OR FOR
00:35:03ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY FOR PRICE GOUGING.
00:35:07FOLKS, THE POINT OF SALE. I ALSO TALK ABOUT LOWERING THE
00:35:10AGE OF MEDICARE WHICH WOULD OFFSET SOME COSTS.
00:35:14WELL, AS MAKING SURE WE ARE
00:35:18INVESTING IN IN FOLKS HEALTH
00:35:20CARE A PREVENTATIVE WAY AS A AS
00:35:22TO A REACTIONARY WAY WHICH SO
00:35:24OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS RESPOND TO. SO THERE'S WAYS IN WHICH WE CAN
00:35:28ACTUALLY PUT FORWARD LEGISLATION
00:35:30THAT WILL TO THE SKYROCKETING COSTS.
00:35:33AND OF COURSE, AS A PASTOR YOU
00:35:36KNOW, AS A CHAPLAIN, I BELIEVE HEALTH CARE IS A HUMAN RIGHT AND
00:35:40THAT, YOU KNOW, WE NEED DO EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN TO MAKE
00:35:44SURE PEOPLE CAN HAVE ACCESSIBLE AND AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE,
00:35:47WHICH IS WHY SUPPORT A PUBLIC OPTION. >> JOE MITCHELL YOU'VE CALLED
00:35:51THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT DISASTER. WOULD YOU VOTE TO REPEAL IT?
00:35:55AND IF SO, WHAT WOULD TAKE PLACE?
00:35:57>> YEAH, I WOULD VOTE TO REPEAL IT. AND I'VE SAID THAT WE HAVE TO KEEP IN CONDITIONS.
00:36:01YOU KNOW, I'M SOMEBODY THAT WAS
00:36:03BORN IN IN A CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITAL IN WASHINGTON, IOWA.
00:36:07I'M SOMEBODY THAT WAS ON HAWKEYE STATE INSURANCE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER.
00:36:11CONTRARY TO WHAT MY OPPONENT SAYS, I WAS NOT BORN WITH A SILVER SPOON IN MY MOUTH, I BORN
00:36:15WITH A PLASTIC SPOON. AS MY MOM SAYS, WE WERE ALL THESE SHOPPERS.
00:36:18WE WERE GOODWILL SHOPPERS. I'M A FIRST GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENT.
00:36:21I WAS BLESSED TO SEE MY PARENTS
00:36:24A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS THROUGHOUT MY CHILDHOOD AND BECOME
00:36:26SUCCESSFUL AND BLESS A LOT OF PEOPLE AND CREATE A LOT OF GOOD JOBS IN OUR COMMUNITY.
00:36:30BUT WHEN I WAS BORN, THEY WERE
00:36:32NOT SUCCESSFUL AND WE WERE WORKING CLASS FAMILY.
00:36:36AND SO I LIVED THAT THROUGH MY CHILDHOOD AND KNOW.
00:36:40SO ULTIMATELY I UNDERSTAND WHY REAL HEALTH CARE IS SO IMPORTANT
00:36:44THIS IS WHY IN THE WORKING
00:36:46FAMILIES CUT, WE APPROPRIATED
00:36:50$200 MILLION TO THE RURAL HEALTH FUND FOR IOWA CRITICAL ACCESS
00:36:54SPECIFICALLY. NOW WHEN MY OPPONENT TALKS ABOUT
00:36:56THE MEDICAID CUTS, AS SHE CALLS IT, THEY'RE NOT MEDICAID AT ALL.
00:37:00THEY'VE SAID THAT YOU'RE AN ABLE
00:37:02BODIED PERSON ON MEDICAID. THERE'S GOING TO BE WORK
00:37:05REQUIREMENTS, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT 80, 90% OF IOWANS AGREE
00:37:10WITH. AND THEN THE OTHER THING IS, TOO, IF YOU'RE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT, YOU CAN'T HAVE MEDICAID.
00:37:14SO WE'RE GOING TO KICK YOU OFF THE ROLLS IF. YOU ARE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT, WHICH
00:37:18AGAIN IS SOMETHING THAT 90, 95% OF IOWANS AGREE WITH.
00:37:21SO THESE ARE NOT CUTS TO MEDICAID LIKE SHE SAYS.
00:37:24AND LIKE THE DEMOCRAT PARTY SAYS, THIS IS COMMON SENSE
00:37:28LEGISLATION. MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE THAT ARE RECEIVING MEDICAID BENEFITS FROM
00:37:33TAXPAYERS THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A WORK REQUIREMENT. AND THEN IF YOU'RE AN ILLEGAL
00:37:36IMMIGRANT, YOU NOT WELCOME TO TAKE TAXPAYER MONEY AND GET YOUR
00:37:40HEALTH CARE PAID FOR. >> BUT IT IS A REDUCTION IN FUTURE MEDICAID SPENDING.
00:37:44>> AND FOR SOME THE REASONS THAT YOU'VE NOTED, BUT MAINLY FOR THE
00:37:48REASONS I'VE I'VE STATED BUT BUT HOSPITAL LEADERS IT'S NOT JUST DEMOCRATS HOSPITAL.
00:37:52>> LEADERS ARE ALSO EXPRESSING CONCERNS ABOUT AND WHAT IT IT'LL
00:37:54MEAN TO THEM BECAUSE THEY RELY MUCH ON MEDICAID PATIENTS.
00:37:58>> AND EVEN WITH YOU THE RURAL HEALTH TRANSFORMATION AND
00:38:02HOSPITAL LEADERS SAY THAT THEY APPRECIATE THAT BUT THAT DOESN'T
00:38:05NECESSARILY MAKE THEM WHOLE BECAUSE OF THOSE CHANGES THAT ARE COMING DOWN THE PIPELINE.
00:38:09>> WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO THOSE? >> AGAIN, I'M NOT YOU TO
00:38:13CONVINCE DEMOCRATS TO BE HOSPITAL WHO ARE. >> NO.
00:38:15I MEAN, I TAKE THOSE CONCERNS SERIOUSLY. AND THIS IS YOU KNOW I WAS
00:38:19SUPPORTED BY THE IOWA HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION WHEN I WAS IN THE LEGISLATURE.
00:38:22I WORKED VERY CLOSELY MY CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITALS IN EASTERN IOWA.
00:38:26AND I'LL DO THE SAME IN CONGRESS.
00:38:29>> I DO WANT TO POINT OUT JUST FOR THE SAKE OF THIS
00:38:31CONVERSATION, IS WE'VE LOST
00:38:35BECAUSE OF THE ONE BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL, WHICH, AGAIN, WOULD ARGUE IS ONLY BEAUTIFUL
00:38:38FOR THE OLDER AND BILLIONAIRES. WE'VE LOST $1,000,000,000 OF
00:38:42RESOURCES TO OUR RURAL HEALTH
00:38:42CARE SYSTEM HERE IN IOWA, $200
00:38:46MILLION IS A DROP IN THE BUCKET IN TO THAT COST.
00:38:50SO THIS IS JUST ANOTHER WAY OF
00:38:53JOE SAYING WHATEVER HE CAN TO
00:38:57COVER UP FOR AN ADMINISTRATION IS DENYING HEALTH CARE TO
00:39:01HARDWORKING FAMILIES IN THIS STATE.
00:39:0325,000 PEOPLE ARE AT RISK OF LOSING THEIR HEALTH CARE BECAUSE
00:39:07OF BILL THEY'RE MAKING IMPOSSIBLE CHOICES.
00:39:10ONE OF MY NEIGHBOR IS MAKING THE IMPOSSIBLE CHOICE.
00:39:12DO I PAY FOR MY RENT AND KEEP MY
00:39:15HOUSE OR DO I PAY FOR INSULIN
00:39:18MEDICATION AND KEEP MY FOOT? FOLKS ARE HURTING AND THEY NEED
00:39:22SOMEONE WHO WILL GO AND FIGHT FOR THEM. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO SOCIAL SECURITY NEXT.
00:39:25BUT JUST REALLY QUICK QUESTION.
00:39:27>> SOME IOWANS GETTING $500
00:39:29CHECKS FROM FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BECAUSE THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
00:39:33SAYS THEY OVERCHARGED ON INSURANCE PREMIUMS.
00:39:37>> THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT MARKETPLACE. WHY IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
00:39:41PAYING THIS JOE? AND SO INSTEAD THE INSURANCE COMPANIES?
00:39:45WELL, THINK WE NEED TO GIVE RELIEF TO IOWANS. >> AND SO WHETHER IT'S THE INSURANCE COMPANIES OR THE
00:39:49FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, I THINK THAT'S A GOOD THING THAT WE'RE GIVING MONEY BACK TO HARDWORKING
00:39:52IOWANS AND, SOMETHING I'M SUPPORTIVE OF AND SOMETHING
00:39:56THAT, YOU KNOW, I KNOW MANY IOWANS ARE SUPPORTIVE OF AS WELL. >> SO SHOULD THE IF YOU'RE
00:40:01ELECTED, YOU ASK INSURANCE COMPANIES TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THOSE CHECKS.
00:40:05ABSOLUTELY. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I KNOWN FOR IN THE IOWA
00:40:09LEGISLATURE, I LOVED TELLING THIS STORY BECAUSE PEOPLE REALLY IT. BUT IN MY FIRST YEAR AT THE IOWA
00:40:14LEGISLATURE, I LEARNED THAT MY NEIGHBOR LOST HEALTH CARE SERVICES, WHEN MEDICAID WAS
00:40:19PRIVATIZED. AND SO I TOLD HIS STORY ON THE FLOOR OF THE IOWA LEGISLATURE,
00:40:22AND I CALLED THE COMPANY AMERIGROUP FOR DENYING THOSE HEALTH CARE SERVICES.
00:40:27AND KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT CAME, I
00:40:30GOT A REQUEST TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE IN THE LOBBY AND YOU CAN
00:40:33GUESS WHO THAT WAS. IT WAS, OF COURSE THE AMERIGROUP LOBBYIST.
00:40:38AND HE SAID TO ME, REPRESENTATIVE JAMES, KNOW THAT YOU'RE NEW HERE.
00:40:41WE JUST DON'T DO THAT. WE JUST DON'T CALL OUT A COMPANY NAME.
00:40:45MY RESPONSE I DON'T CARE WHAT THE NORMS OF THE IOWA ARE.
00:40:49I CARE THAT MY CONSTITUENT GETS THE HEALTH CARE THAT NEEDS.
00:40:53IOWANS KNOW ME TOO, AGAINST BIG
00:40:56CORPORATIONS, PRIVATE EQUITY FIRMS. THE SPECIAL INTERESTS THAT HAVE
00:41:00A DISPROPORTIONATELY LOUD VOICE.
00:41:02OUR LEGISLATIVE POLICY DECISION TABLES.
00:41:05AND I AM GOING TO FIGHT EVERY SINGLE DAY TO HOLD COMPANIES
00:41:09ACCOUNTABLE AND MAKE SURE IOWANS HAVE THE HEALTH CARE THAT THEY NEED. SOCIAL SECURITY.
00:41:14YEAH, SECURITY IS PROJECTED TO FACE A FUNDING SHORTFALL BY 2030
00:41:18TO IF ACTION ISN'T TAKEN.
00:41:20>> JOE MITCHELL, SECOND DISTRICT CONGRESSWOMAN ASHLEY HANSEN HAS
00:41:24SAID AN INDEPENDENT COMMISSION BE CREATED TO CONSIDER ALL AND
00:41:28MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS. WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?
00:41:31>> I THINK THE BIGGEST THING WE CAN LOOK AT RIGHT NOW IS WASTE, FRAUD AND ABUSE.
00:41:35WE'VE HAD WASTE, FRAUD AND ABUSE IN OUR GOVERNMENT UP TO A DOLLARS TOTAL.
00:41:37BUT THIS ALSO INCLUDES OUR SOCIAL SECURITY. SO WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE
00:41:41DEFRAUDING SOCIAL SECURITY, PEOPLE THAT ARE ILLEGAL ON
00:41:44SOCIAL SECURITY. AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE
00:41:48ADMINISTRATION IS LIKE THAT WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE RECEIVING.
00:41:51SO SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS ARE THE THAT HAVE PAID IN THAT ARE
00:41:56SENIORS THAT ARE RECEIVING THOSE BENEFITS. SO I THINK THERE'S PLENTY OF WORK TO STILL DO IN THE WASTE,
00:41:59FRAUD AND FRONT. >> IS THAT ENOUGH, THOUGH, TO COVER THE SHORTFALL?
00:42:04>> I MEAN, I'M NOT SURE I WOULD I WOULD LIKE TO HONESTLY, THIS
00:42:08COMMISSION WE PUT TOGETHER THAT SHE SUGGESTED, I DON'T. THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A BAD
00:42:11IDEA TO ME BY ANY MEANS. YOU KNOW WHAT? I THINK THE FIRST THING YOU CAN
00:42:15DO IS LOOK AT THE WASTE FRAUD, ABUSE IN THAT PROGRAM, LIKE MANY
00:42:19OTHERS. LINDSAY JAMES HAVE PROPOSED REMOVING THE CAP ON TAXABLE
00:42:23INCOME. >> SO HIGHER WAGE PAY MORE INTO
00:42:27THE PROGRAM. >> IS THIS ENOUGH TO FIX THE SOLVENCY PROBLEM? >> YES, ABSOLUTELY.
00:42:31I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ELON MUSK SHOULD BE PAYING THE SAME AMOUNT
00:42:33INTO SOCIAL SECURITY.
00:42:35A TEACHER IN CEDAR RAPIDS.
00:42:39OR WATERLOO OR DUBUQUE. AND YET THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING. WHAT JOE IS DOING BY NOT TALKING
00:42:43ABOUT REMOVING THE CAPS IS AGAIN, HE IS FAVORING THE ULTRA
00:42:47WEALTHY, THE BILLIONAIRES. HE IS SOMEONE WHO GOING TO PROTECT THEIR INTERESTS.
00:42:50I'M INTERESTED IN MAKING SURE THAT OUR SENIORS HAVE THE
00:42:54ABILITY TO LIVE WITH HUMAN DIGNITY IN THE MOST GLORIOUS
00:42:58YEARS THEIR LIVES. I'M A MOM WHOSE PARENTING
00:43:00TEENAGERS ALSO CARING FOR PARENTS WHO ARE AGING AND HAVE,
00:43:04YOU KNOW, MORE INCREASED HEALTH CARE DEMANDS AND NEEDS.
00:43:06AND AS SOMEONE WHO'S LIVING IN THAT GENERATION AND CARING FOR
00:43:10BOTH KIDS AND OUR SENIORS, I WILL DO EVERYTHING THAT I CAN TO
00:43:13FIGHT FOR SOCIAL AND MAKE SURE THAT OUR SENIORS RETIRE WITH
00:43:17SECURITY AND LIVE IN INDEPENDENCE AS LONG AS THEY'RE ABLE.
00:43:21>> THE FEDERAL DEFICIT FOR THE LAST FISCAL YEAR WAS $2 TRILLION.
00:43:26LINDSEY JAMES, A RECENT PEW
00:43:28RESEARCH SURVEY FOUND A VAST OF YOUR FELLOW DEMOCRATS ARE VERY
00:43:33CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. >> WHAT WILL YOU DO IF ELECTED
00:43:35TO CONGRESS TO ERASE THE DEFICIT AND THE DEBT? YEAH.
00:43:38SO AGAIN WE NEED THE ULTRA WEALTHY TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE.
00:43:42THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS A
00:43:44RESULT OF THE INCREASE IN.
00:43:46THE FEDERAL DEFICIT IS A RESULT
00:43:49OF THE ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL
00:43:51THAT GAVE HUGE TAX BREAKS, ULTRA
00:43:54WEALTHY AND BIG CORPORATE
00:43:56ACTIONS, MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND THAT TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF
00:44:00INCREASE INTO OUR FEDERAL DEFICIT IS NOW STRAPPED ON THE
00:44:02BACKS OF MY KIDS.
00:44:05AND YOU KNOW, YOUR AND OUR
00:44:07GRANDKIDS AND THAT IS UNFAIR.
00:44:09WE NEED FAIRNESS.
00:44:11WE NEED TO HAVE THOSE WHO ARE ULTRA WEALTHY, PAY THEIR FAIR
00:44:14SHARE INTO THIS. >> JOE MITCHELL, YOU'VE SAID
00:44:18IT'S TIME TO REIN IN WHAT YOU CALL THE CRAZY DEFICIT.
00:44:22HOW DO YOU DO THAT? >> WELL, SO FIRST OF ALL,
00:44:24LINDSEY JAMES IS NOT SAYING A TAX HIKE SHE DOES NOT LIKE. SHE'S VOTED EVERY SINGLE TIME IN
00:44:28THE LEGISLATURE. RAISE YOUR INCOME TAXES.
00:44:31NO, I ACTUALLY YOU VOTED AGAINST THE PROPERTY TAX BILL LAST YEAR.
00:44:35YOU VOTED AGAINST IT AND COMPLETELY MISLEADING. >> DID YOU NOT VOTE AGAINST SINGLE TAX CUT?
00:44:39>> THE REPUBLICANS PROPOSED THE LAST TEN YEARS? >> IF THAT IS ABSOLUTELY
00:44:43MISLEADING, MY NORTH STAR IS TAX
00:44:45RELIEF FOR HARDWORKING FAMILIES AGAINST EVERY FRANCISCO AND
00:44:49MIDDLE IOWANS THAT WILL ALWAYS SAY SHE'S AGAINST THE WORKING
00:44:51FAMILIES TAX CUT WHICH SAID NO ON SOCIAL SECURITY, NO TAX ON
00:44:55TAPS, NO TAX ON OVERTIME. I SUPPORT NO TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY.
00:44:58I SUPPORT NO TAX ON TIPS. OKAY.
00:45:00YOU ARE BEING YOU WERE AGAINST THE TAX.
00:45:03>> I AM AGAINST PUTTING BILLIONS
00:45:06AND TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF YOU
00:45:09ARE FOR TAXING THE ULTRA WEALTHY AND BIG NATIONS THAT I WAS SUPPORTING A BALANCED BUDGET
00:45:14CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. THAT'S THE FIRST THING I WANT TO SUPPORT WHEN I GET IN CONGRESS BECAUSE THIS IS A PROBLEM.
00:45:18WE CAN'T TAX OUR WAY OUT OF IT.
00:45:20AND ALSO, IF YOU EVERY SINGLE IN
00:45:24AMERICA'S ASSETS, YOU WOULD NOT
00:45:26FIX THE DEFICIT PROBLEM. SHE DOESN'T KNOW THAT.
00:45:29I DO KNOW THAT MOST IOWANS KNOW THAT YOU CAN'T TAX WAY OUT OF THIS PROBLEM.
00:45:33YOU CAN'T CONFISCATE PEOPLE'S ASSETS TO MAKE THIS. YOU HAVE TO GET CONTROL OF
00:45:38SPENDING. YOU HAS TO PASS A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A
00:45:41BALANCED BUDGET. WE ALMOST DID IT ONE TIME, 20 YEARS AGO.
00:45:44WE NEED TO BRING THAT BACK. WE NEED TO HAVE A BIPARTISAN COALITION THAT'S TO PUSH THAT.
00:45:48>> WOULD YOU SUPPORT A BALANCED BUDGET AMENDMENT?
00:45:51I KEEP ON BALANCING THE BUDGET IN IOWA, AS MANY YEARS AS WE
00:45:54POSSIBLY CAN, AND I'D SUPPORT BALANCING THE BUDGET.
00:45:58>> AND WE'VE GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU HERE ON TAXES.
00:46:00>> JOE, WE'LL START WITH YOU.
00:46:04WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE ONE
00:46:05BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL HERE IN AND
00:46:08MENTIONED THE REPEAL OF TAXES ON TIPS AND OVERTIMES.
00:46:10BUT IT DOES INCLUDE TAX CUTS ALL THE WAY UP TO THE WEALTHIEST
00:46:14AMERICANS. MY QUESTION TO YOU IS, WHY WAS
00:46:16THAT SPECIFIC TAX REDUCTION
00:46:20NEEDED AT A TIME WHEN THE NATIONAL DEFICIT AND DEBT ARE
00:46:22BOTH TRILLIONS DOLLARS? WHY?
00:46:25WHY NOT A MORE TARGETED. >> WELL, I'VE TOLD PEOPLE, YOU
00:46:27KNOW, MY PHILOSOPHY ON THIS. I DON'T AGREE WITH RAISING ANYBODY'S TAXES UNTIL WE GET THE
00:46:31WASTE FRAUD, ABUSE UNDER CONTROL.
00:46:33AND SO YOU $1,000,000,000,000 PROJECTED OF WASTE, FRAUD AND
00:46:37ABUSE. AND WE SAW THIS BECAUSE OF PEOPLE NICK SHIRLEY, WHO IS AN
00:46:42INDEPENDENT JOURNALIST WHO WENT UP TO MINNESOTA, HE WENT OHIO, HE WENT TO CALIFORNIA.
00:46:45AND HE THE WASTE, FRAUD AND ABUSE OF PEOPLE DEFRAUDING OUR
00:46:50TAXPAYERS VIEWERS RIGHT NOW OF DERRICK GOVERNMENT DOLLARS.
00:46:53AND SO THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE TO GET WASTE, FRAUD AND ABUSE UNDER
00:46:57CONTROL OR ELSE WE'RE JUST WASTING MORE MONEY DEPENDING NO
00:46:59MATTER WHO IT IS, BY THE. AND SO THIS IS WHERE I TO GET
00:47:03THAT UNDER CONTROL. BEFORE YOU TALK ABOUT ANY HIKES
00:47:05FOR ANYBODY, BECAUSE CLEARLY NOT MANAGING YOUR MONEY WELL RIGHT
00:47:09NOW. >> LINDSAY JAMES, I THINK WE KNOW HOW YOU ABOUT THE TAX CUTS
00:47:13AND THE ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL. THERE ARE MANY OTHER PROVISIONS, SOME OF THEM THAT HAVE TALKED
00:47:17ABOUT HERE. >> IF ELECTED, ARE THERE ANY
00:47:19THAT YOU WOULD VOTE TO IN WHICH SOME OF THEM EXPIRE AT THE END
00:47:23OF 2028, SORRY SO ARE THERE ANY
00:47:25OF THOSE PROVISIONS YOU WOULD
00:47:28VOTE TO MAINTAIN OR IN SOME I'D SUPPORT NO TAX ON TIPS.
00:47:31>> I SUPPORT TAX ON SOCIAL SECURITY.
00:47:35JOE IS TALKING A LOT ABOUT
00:47:37WASTE, FRAUD AND ABUSE.
00:47:39WHAT HE'S NOT TALKING ABOUT IS
00:47:41THE TAX LOOPHOLES THAT THE ULTRA RECEIVE.
00:47:44THIS SYSTEM BEEN RIGGED FOR
00:47:48FOLKS ARE ULTRA WEALTHY AND BIG CORPORATIONS.
00:47:50JOE MITCHELL HAS SHOWN US WHO IS EXACTLY. HE HAS RIGGED THE SYSTEM FOR
00:47:54HIMSELF AND ACTUALLY BENEFITED $3 MILLION OFF OF OUR OWN
00:47:59TAXPAYER. IN FACT, HE EVEN USED $1,000,000
00:48:02OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO BUILD A
00:48:04HOUSING DEVELOPMENT THAT HIS OWN HOME.
00:48:08FOLKS LIKE YOU, JOE, SEE, THE
00:48:12SYSTEM IS RIGGED AND HE'S IT FOR
00:48:14FOLKS WHO ARE ULTRA WEALTHY AND
00:48:16BIG CORPORATIONS HAVE INVESTED THEIR MONEY INTO PLACES LIKE
00:48:19CLEARLAKE, INTO DYERSVILLE AND GRINNELL, PLACES IN OUR DISTRICT WHERE I'VE GIVEN JOBS, I'VE
00:48:23GIVEN PEOPLE HOUSING. >> YOU'VE LIED ABOUT THIS.
00:48:26I BOUGHT, I BOUGHT MY HOUSE.
00:48:28YOU HAVE BENEFITED $3 MILLION OFF OF TAX DOLLARS.
00:48:31THAT'S INVESTMENT TO YOUR
00:48:33DOLLARS, WHICH YOU HATE BECAUSE HATE REALLY POLLUTING YOUR OWN. >> AND SO MY HOME.
00:48:37>> CAN I TALK ABOUT THIS BY DUBAI'S ABSENCE, DUBAI FROM FAIR
00:48:41MARKET VALUE. FROM MY PARTNERS. I DIDN'T.
00:48:45A SUBSIDIZED HOME. I BOUGHT IT FOR A FAIR MARKET FROM MY PARTNERS IN THE.
00:48:49SO I DID NOT UTILIZE THE TAX TO BUILD MY HOME.
00:48:52THAT'S RIDICULOUS. AND YOU KNOW THAT. AND YOU'RE A LIAR.
00:48:55ARE SO EXHAUSTED BY POLITICS
00:48:57THAT YOU BEING A LIAR, ANYTHING
00:49:00YOU GET ELECTED WHO ARE RICH. YOU TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF?
00:49:03I AM A LOOK IN THE MIRROR PERSON WHO HAS LOOK IN THE MIRROR HELD
00:49:06FAITH COMMITMENTS WHO IS GOING TO GO AND FIGHT FOR PEOPLE, HELPING THEM. IT'S OKAY.
00:49:10>> YOU ARE SOMEONE WHO IS FIGHTING THE ULTRA WEALTHY AND
00:49:14RIGGING SYSTEM FOR YOURSELF EVERY STEP THE WAY.
00:49:17YOU'RE SPENDING $90,000 PARTYING AT MAR A LAGO.
00:49:21LOOK AT YOUR HANDS. >> LOOK AT YOUR CAMPAIGN FINANCE. LET'S ON TO THE NEXT TOPIC.
00:49:25>> YEAH, WE'RE GOING TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT EDUCATION NOW.
00:49:27>> LINDSAY JAMES, YOUR CAMPAIGN WEBSITE SAYS TEACHERS DESERVE
00:49:32BETTER. ARE YOU SAYING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PROVIDE MONEY TO HELP
00:49:36RAISE PAY? I THINK TEACHERS ARE REALLY STRUGGLING RIGHT NOW IN OUR
00:49:40SYSTEM IS REALLY STRUGGLING. >> AND IN ORDER TO GIVE KIDS OUR
00:49:44BEST AT LIFE, WE NEED TO HAVE EVERY OPTION IN TERMS FINANCING
00:49:46OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS ON THE TABLE. AND SO ABSOLUTELY SUPPORT THAT.
00:49:50I THINK THAT, THOUGH WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE THINGS
00:49:52THAT WE HAVE FAILED TO DO IS TO FULLY FUND OUR KIDS WITH
00:49:57DISABILITY, THERE ARE TOO MANY
00:49:59FAMILIES WHO ARE EXPERIENCING LOT OF STRUGGLE AND A LOT OF
00:50:02CHALLENGE WITH KIDS WHO HAVE DISABILITIES. AND WE CAN DO MORE THERE AT THE
00:50:06FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LEVEL. BUT ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE ON THE TABLE.
00:50:10LET'S GIVE OUR KIDS THEIR BEST CHANCE AT LIFE. >> AND JOE MITCHELL, YOUR
00:50:13CAMPAIGN WEBSITE SAYS COLLEGES SHOULD BE HELD FOR HOW THEY
00:50:16SPEND TAX DOLLARS. WHAT SORT OF ACCOUNTABILITY ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
00:50:20>> I THINK WE NEED OVERSIGHT. THE STATES DID A GOOD JOB AT
00:50:23THIS, BY THE WAY, YOU KNOW, FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
00:50:26I AGREE WITH PRESIDENT. I DON'T THINK THAT THE
00:50:29DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION BE AS LARGE AS IS. I THINK THE PROBLEM WE HAVE IS
00:50:33WE'RE GIVING A LOT OF STUDENTS,
00:50:36WE'RE GIVING THEM FINANCIAL AID AND THEY'RE GOING TO SCHOOL AND THEY'RE GETTING DEGREES, WHICH
00:50:40KNOW THEY CANNOT GET JOBS IN. AND THERE'S BEEN THIS LIE TOLD
00:50:42THE PEOPLE MY GENERATION THAT IF YOU GO TO COLLEGE AND YOU GET A
00:50:46FOUR YEAR DEGREE AND GET THAT PIECE OF PAPER THAT WILL GET A
00:50:50JOB AFTER, YOU GRADUATE. AND THAT'S JUST NOT TRUE.
00:50:54AND THAT'S WHERE WE NEED MORE PEOPLE GOING INTO BLUE COLLARED WORK.
00:50:57WE NEED PEOPLE TO BE FACT TECHNICIANS, ELECTRICIANS WE
00:51:01NEED PEOPLE TO BE WELDERS. WE PEOPLE TO BE SKILLED,
00:51:05MANUFACTURE ROLES. WE NEED PEOPLE GOING TO JOBS
00:51:07WHICH CANNOT BE TAKEN BY AIR, BY THE WAY, OR WON'T BE FOR A VERY
00:51:10LONG TIME. AND SO THIS IS WHERE I HAVE A
00:51:14LOT OF EMPATHY FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE MY AGE THAT HAVE CRIPPLING DEBT.
00:51:18AND WE'RE TOLD BY PEOPLE IN THEIR LIFE AT A VERY YOUNG AGE TO GO TO COLLEGE, GET THIS
00:51:22DEGREE PILE ON THIS DEBT. WHEN YOU GET OUT, YOU'RE GOING TO GET A JOB.
00:51:25THAT'S JUST NOT TRUE. WE HAVE TO WORK, HELP THOSE PEOPLE OUT.
00:51:28ERIN, WE WANT TO GET TO ANOTHER ISSUE OR TWO AND OUR LAST FEW
00:51:32MINUTES. >> LINDSAY JAMES, YOU HAVE SAID CONGRESS FAILED TO FIX FEDERAL
00:51:36IMMIGRATION LAWS. YOUR FELLOW DEMOCRAT JOSH TURK, WHO IS RUNNING FOR THE U.S.
00:51:40SENATE, HAS PLEDGED WORK WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP ON THIS ISSUE. WOULD YOU ALSO BE WILLING TO
00:51:45WORK? CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS AND THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION?
00:51:48AND WHAT POLICIES YOU BELIEVE ARE NECESSARY TO OUR BORDERS
00:51:52SECURE AS YOU HAVE SAID, NEEDS TO BE DONE?
00:51:54>> ABSOLUTELY. >> I'LL WORK WITH ANYONE WHO WILL WORK WITH ME ON BIGGEST
00:51:58CHALLENGES THAT OUR COUNTRY FACES. I'VE SHOWN THAT IN THE IOWA
00:52:01LEGISLATURE, I'VE WORKED IN A BIPARTISAN FASHION, EVERY SINGLE
00:52:04TO PUT FORWARD PROTECTIONS FOR FOLKS LIVING IN MOBILE
00:52:08COMMUNITIES AND OTHER KINDS OF PROTECTIONS FOR IOWANS AND MY
00:52:12NEIGHBORS WHEN IT COMES TO THE BORDER.
00:52:13I THINK NEED WE NEED TO MAKE THAT WE HAVE SECURITY AT THE
00:52:18BORDER, SECURE OUR BORDER AND WORK ON A COMPREHENSIVE
00:52:21IMMIGRATION REFORM. I BELIEVE THAT BOTH DEMOCRATS
00:52:23AND REPUBLICANS HAVE GOTTEN THIS WRONG. THEY'VE USED IT AS POLITICAL FOOTBALLS.
00:52:27AND WE NEED TO BE SERIOUS, CREATING MEANINGFUL REFORM SO
00:52:31THAT WE CAN KEEP COMMUNITIES SAFE AND THAT PEOPLE WHO WANT TO
00:52:34COME HERE LEGALLY AND PAY THEIR
00:52:36TAXES AND CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR COMMUNITIES CAN DO SO.
00:52:39AND GEORGE MITCHELL, UNDER A
00:52:41REPUBLICAN TRIFECTA, THERE
00:52:43HASN'T BEEN ANY LEGISLATIVE ACTION ON IMMIGRATION LAWS. >> SEEMS LIKE THERE'S BEEN A
00:52:48DEFERENCE TO THE PRESENCE.
00:52:52ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH THAT? IN WHICH CASE, WHAT HAPPENS THE NEXT DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT? OR DO YOU THINK?
00:52:56>> CONGRESS DOES NEED TO TAKE ACTION ON? >> WELL, UNDER JOE BIDEN AND THE
00:53:00DEMOCRATS CONTROL, YOU HAD TENS OF MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS POURING OVER THE
00:53:03BORDER, INCLUDING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CONVICTED CRIMINALS
00:53:07THAT WERE RAPISTS, THAT WERE MURDERERS. SOME WHOM ARE PROBABLY STILL IN THIS COUNTRY RIGHT.
00:53:10THANKS TO JOE BIDEN, THE DEMOCRATS. NOW, I WOULDN'T WANT EVERYONE TO
00:53:14GO TO THE DUBUQUE CHAMBER WEBSITE WHERE WE HAVE LINDSEY
00:53:17PROFILED THERE. AND IT SAYS SHE RAN FOR OFFICE IN 2018 BECAUSE OF THE
00:53:21PRESIDENT'S BORDER. SHE'S AGAINST THE PRESIDENT'S BORDER WALL.
00:53:25SHE'S AGAINST HIS BORDER SECURITY POLICIES AND THE
00:53:28WORKING FAMILIES TAX CUT. THEY HAD RECORD FUNDING FOR ICE
00:53:31AND DHS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BORDER IS SECURE EVEN AFTER THE
00:53:36PRESIDENT'S OF THERE. >> YOU SHOULD GO BECAUSE THAT WE'RE GOING MISLEADING.
00:53:38>> NO PLACE GOING CREDIBLY IS GOING TO. >> SKYLER.
00:53:43YEAH BOTH OF YOU GUYS HAVE SUPPORTED LIMITING SERVICE IN
00:53:46THE US HOUSE TO 12 YEARS.
00:53:50>> START WITH YOU, JOE MITCHELL. WOULD YOU LIMIT YOURSELF OR ARE
00:53:53YOU RECOMMENDING LEGISLATION TO DO THAT? WE'RE GOING TO RECOMMEND
00:53:56LEGISLATION. >> HOPE I'M NOT THERE WHEN I'M 40. IT'S MY GAME PLAN.
00:53:59I'VE SAID 12 YEARS IN THE HOUSE, 12 YEARS IN THE SENATE.
00:54:02PLENTY OF TIME TO GET YOUR AGENDA. DONE. >> LINDSEY GRAHAM, SAME QUESTION. >> YES.
00:54:06I SUPPORT TERM LIMITS AND AGE LIMITS. YOU SERVED IN THE IOWA HOUSE OF
00:54:12REPRESENTATIVE WHEN THE STATE
00:54:14WAS CHANGED FOR SPORTS BETTING BEING ALLOWED.
00:54:17>> IT'S EVERYWHERE. >> WHEN YOU TURN ON A SPORTING
00:54:21EVENT. JOE MITCHELL, SHOULD IT CONTINUE
00:54:23OR SHOULD CONGRESS STEP IN AND BAN SPORTS GAMBLING?
00:54:27>> I DON'T THINK THEY SHOULD BAN IT. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE MORE OVERSIGHT?
00:54:30I THINK WE SEEN AN EPIDEMIC OF YOUNG MEN IN PARTICULAR WHO HAVE
00:54:35GOT INTO SOME PRETTY TIGHT SITUATIONS AND CRIPPLING DEBT
00:54:38BECAUSE OF SPORTS BETTING. AND SO I DO THINK THAT IS THE ROLE OF THE GOVERNMENT TO HAVE
00:54:42SOME OVERSIGHT ON THAT.
00:54:44AND I AM WORRIED THAT PROBABLY WON'T BE VERY POPULAR WITH SOME
00:54:47OF BUDDIES BACK HOME THAT DO
00:54:50SPORTSBET BUT I DO THINK I'VE SEEN A NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT
00:54:53HAVE GOT ISSUES WITH THAT AND I
00:54:56THINK THE GOVERNMENT DOES HAVE A HAND TO PLAY TO MAKE SURE THAT JUST LIKE IN CASINOS RIGHT YOU
00:55:00KNOW LIKE ANY OTHER GAMBLING SHOULD HAVE GUARDRAILS THERE TO
00:55:03MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE AREN'T RUINING THEIR LIVES AND THEY CAN
00:55:06USE USER FOR FUN AND DO IT FOR LEISURE. WE SHOULD MAKE SURE THERE'S GUARDRAILS THERE.
00:55:10ONE MINUTE. >> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. GUARDRAILS WHEN IT COMES TO
00:55:13SPORTS BETTING GUARDRAILS, WHEN IT COMES TO PREDICTION MARKETS,
00:55:17I'VE GOT SOME MORE INFORMATION ON MY WEBSITE TALKING ABOUT PREDICTION MARKETS AND SOME OF
00:55:20THE THINGS THAT I WOULD DO IN THAT REGARD. BUT THESE IMPORTANT ISSUES THAT
00:55:24WE NEED TO TAKE SERIOUSLY IN THIS MOMENT SO THAT WE CAN PROTECT OUR KIDS, PROTECT OUR
00:55:28YOUNG PEOPLE, AND MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY FOR THAT ARE MAKING
00:55:32A LARGE PROFIT. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WITH A
00:55:36PREDICTION MARKET SHARE AND HALF OF ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I THINK WE SHOULD DO STRAIGHT OUT
00:55:39OF THE GATE WITH PREDICTION MARKETS IS BAN THOSE WHO ARE IN
00:55:42THE GOVERNMENT PROTECTING ON
00:55:45GOVERNMENT KNOW OUTCOMES, WHETHER THAT'S A WAR OR AN ELECTION OUTCOME.
00:55:48AND SO THOSE WHO ARE IN THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT BE WHO
00:55:52HAVE INSIDER INFORMATION SHOULD
00:55:53NOT BE INVOLVED IN BETTING THOSE
00:55:57MARKETS THAT ARE NOT YOUR PUTTING IN.
00:55:59>> YEAH, I AGREE WITH THAT. >> YOU MAY AGREE WITH THIS, BUT
00:56:03WE ARE AT THE END OF OUR TIME. >> THIS IS FUN. >> LET'S DO IT NEXT WEEK.
